《Legendary FBI Detective》


 Chapter 1： FBI new trainee agent

    Chapter 1 FBI new trainee agent


    New York, 26 Federal Square, Manhattan, Jacob Federal Office Building, 9:00 am.


    Floors 23-26 are the exclusive headquarters of the New York Branch of the FBI.


    In a small meeting room.


    "Didn''t expect me to become the legendary FBI?"


    In the corner behind the conference table, Roan sat on a chair, raised his hand to see the formal suit on his body, and then looked at the golden badge hanging on his chest, with a dull expression on his face.


    He remembered that he just went to the island country to inspect the customs and local characteristics. Why did he come here after closing and opening his eyes on the plane?


    Snapped-


    The door of the conference room was pushed open, and a middle-aged white man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a suit walked in with a folder in his hand. He scanned around and saw that there was no shortage of people, and went straight to the topic without any nonsense:


    "Attention, this is a shooting homicide in a park."


    Mediterranean opened the folder, threw a bunch of photos on the conference table and introduced:


    "The victim was named Mike Robert, 43 years old, at 11:34 p.m. on April 11, 2005, was shot dead in the alley in Central Park"


    After hearing the case overview, the trainee detectives on both sides of the conference table went to get the photos on the conference table one after another. Roan remained motionless, and he was sorting out the muddy memories in his mind.


    In his previous life, he was raised by an old killer who was dying. When he grew up, he naturally learned all kinds of skills. He has excellent professional ability and high technical level.


    The purpose of the old killer raising Luo An was to let Luo An avenge his own blood. In the end, when the old killer died and Luo An successfully set out to find the enemy, he learned that the enemy had been caught by the local law enforcement department and sentenced to death by the court.


    The Qiu family was alone and had no relatives, and Luo An didn''t dare to confront the prison head-on. After thinking for a few seconds, he turned around and got on the plane to the island country. He planned to experience the local customs first, and then open a milk tea shop to spend the rest of his life.


    It is impossible for a killer to do it, and it is impossible to do it in this life. Not to mention the high risk factor, and the money comes slowly. How can you make money by opening a milk tea shop in an island country!


    "Sir, there is one thing I don''t understand."


    When Mediterranean Sea briefly introduced the case, Fisher, a white young man with short brown hair and thin lips, tilted his head and asked:


    "Why is this case entrusted to us?"


    An ordinary murder case does not need to mobilize the FBI at all, the New York Police Department can handle it by itself.


    Without waiting for Mediterranean Sea to answer, Mona, a white beauty with red short hair and extremely aerodynamic body, wearing a standard suit with extremely smooth curves, glanced at Fisher disdainfully and said:


    ��The victim was a black special correspondent who came back from a war zone, and the word ��pest�� was written in blood next to the body. It is obvious that this is a special hate crime targeting the identity of the victim.��


    Special hate crimes are under the control of the FBI.


    After listening to Mona''s words, Mediterranean Sea nodded calmly. From the corner of the eye, he glanced at Roan, who was motionless at the end of the conference table. He frowned slightly but didn''t respond. He clapped his hands to attract everyone''s attention and said:


    "This particular hate crime case is the next stage of the test. Twenty of you new intern detectives have to solve the case and catch the murderer by yourself within three days. The senior detectives will give you corresponding points according to your performance. Those with high points can be turned into full-time agents first, and those with low points will continue to work hard."


    After finishing speaking, Mediterranean did not organize the folders, turned around and left the conference room.


    The moment the door of the conference room was closed, there was a bang in the conference room, and many new trainee agents leaned over to check the photos and clues.


    "Which side is the ''pest'' on the ground next to the victim''s body? Black identity or journalist identity?"


    "It''s also possible to have both."


    "Maybe more journalists. After all, the victims came back from the war zone. There are a group of religious lunatics there, and it is not unusual for them to do anything."


    "Not necessarily, the victims also reported a lot of corrupt parliamentarians."


    "There are really enemies everywhere"


    Ignoring everyone, just as the sea left the meeting room, Roan suddenly heard a "buzz" in his ear, and before he could react, a light blue page suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.


    ��System loading��


    ��The system is loaded successfully! ��


    ��Today��s treasure chest is ready, do you want to open it? ��


    ��The novice gift pack has been prepared, is it open? ��


    ��.��


    Luo An''s pupils constricted, and he was relieved when he saw that others didn''t notice the abnormality here.


    "I haven''t read novels in vain for so many years. Those authors are not deceiving me. The time traveler really has a system bonus!"


    Luo An took a deep breath, and said silently in his heart: ��Open��


    A cutscene of opening a treasure chest in a rough web game, the system shows that [Today��s Treasure Chest] opened one for $20 and one for $50. [Gift Pack for Beginners] A bottle of hemostatic potion and a bottle of scuba potion.


    ��.��


    Seeing the system page that has been silent since then, Luo An blinked, feeling a little dazed for a moment.


    This system is so simple!


    All the interns were anxious to analyze the clues. When the intern Fisher saw the wound on the deceased''s chest, he raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly:


    "Roan, hurry to my desk and get the third folder in the upper right corner."


    ��.��


    The imaginary response didn''t sound, Fisher looked back in doubt, and found that Roan was sitting in the corner of the conference table with his head bowed in thought, not paying attention to his words at all.


    Fischer''s face sank, he picked up the signature pen in his hand and threw it at Roan.


    Snapped!


    Hearing the sound of wind in the air, Roan, who was sorting out his memory, subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed it.


    Holding a signature pen, Roan, who turned off the system page, turned to look at Fisher, and a memory instantly appeared in his mind.


    Some time ago, when the predecessor, Fisher, and another trainee agent named Markey went out to perform missions, the two of them made mistakes during their actions and caused the criminal to escape. When reporting to the chief, the predecessor was deducted 100 points, while Fisher and Markey was just reprimanded and then he was gone, and no points were deducted!


    In his memory, his predecessor turned blue with anger when he heard the news, but he had no background and could only choose to temporarily tolerate it in order to become a regular as soon as possible, which made Fisher even more aggressive towards his predecessor.


    Roan frowned slightly. He didn''t have the tolerant character of his predecessor. Just as he was about to make a move, Mona on the other side noticed what happened here. She pointed her pen at Fisher and asked loudly:


    "What are you doing? Can''t you take your own things?"


    Mona is a rare computer expert among their group of new trainee agents, plus she has a beautiful figure, so Fisher didn''t say much after being hit with a pen, snorted and picked up the notebook to start Take the clues from the photos.


    "Ignore him, he''s just a spoiled bastard."


    Seeing that Roan''s face was not good-looking, Mona, who was protruding forward and backward, took a few photos and walked up to him and sat down on her buttocks, comforting:


    "The information given by the officer said that the murderer who caught this case can get 80 points, which can make up for most of the points you lost some time ago, and this case also has a $50,000 reward from the New York Journalists Association."


    "$50,000?"


    In 2005, the wages of American workers were only about 2,500 US dollars.


    Roan didn''t care about the 80 points in the front, but the 50,000 dollars in the back made his eyes light up instantly, because he remembered what the old killer said to him in his previous life:


    I''m not in the mood for **** love stories, all I wanted was money when I was young! What''s the use of envying others? We need to act ourselves! To become richer than them!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 2： because he is handsome

    Chapter 2 Because he is handsome enough


    Roan took the old killer''s words seriously.


    He originally thought that if he couldn''t get along in the FBI, he would go out and do some private work to make money, but he didn''t expect the FBI to solve the case and get legal money!


    Seeing the pile of unsolved cases in the archives of the FBI New York Branch in my memory, and the series of numbers behind the cases, and thinking of the well-known IRS department in the United States, Roan instantly regained his spirits, and grabbed the person who was still introducing him to the case. Mona asked in a low voice:


    "The two of us cooperated alone in this case, and the reward is 50% afterward, how about it?"


    Under normal circumstances, new trainee detectives investigate this kind of case in a team of three to five people. There are considerations for the reasonable distribution of points and safety considerations.


    After all peaceful America, gun battles every day.


    ��.��


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona fell silent, and laughed a few seconds later:


    "This joke is not funny, Roan. You don''t seem to have solved a case alone since you joined the FBI New York branch."


    That was me before, not me now.


    Roan is very confident about whether he can solve the case��it is true that he will not solve the case, but he will commit it!


    Both are cases, the two should be similar


    Seeing Roan''s handsome face, which is no less than that of a reader, staring at her, Mona''s heart skipped a beat. After coughing lightly, she turned her gaze to the photo on the desktop:


    "I''ll talk about this matter later, you can read the relevant information of this case first."


    "OK."


    Roan didn''t force Mona, and he really needed to see the photos of the crime scene.


    On the other side, in a bright and spacious office, five middle-aged men in shirts were drinking coffee while watching a large screen hanging on the wall.


    The big screen is the real-time video of the twenty intern detectives analyzing the case in the meeting room.


    Mediterranean knocked on the door and walked into the office, handed the folders in his hand to the five investigation team leaders one by one, and said with a smile:


    "Sirs, these are the personal data and inspection period performances of the new trainee agents in the meeting room."


    "OK."


    Mediterranean turned and left, and the five investigation team leaders began to look through the information in their hands. After a while, they selected a few agents that they wanted to be transferred to their own investigation team in the future.


    Bruosen, the leader of the No. 1 investigation team, took a sip of his coffee, tilted his head and glanced at the character chosen by Augustus, the leader of the No. 5 investigation team, frowned puzzled, and asked:


    "Augus, why did you choose Roan Greenwood?"


    "oh?"


    "Choose Roan Greenwood?"


    Hearing what Brosen said, the other three team leaders became interested. They also read the performance data of Roan Greenwood during this period, but they all chose to give up each other.


    Without it, people who dare not fight back after being bullied will not be able to survive in a place like the FBI. Even if Roan looks for an opportunity to beat Fisher up, the three team leaders will have a higher opinion of Roan grade.


    The leader of investigation team No. 5 is a middle-aged black man with a big belly, named Augustus.


    Seeing several colleagues looking at him in puzzlement, Augustus raised his legs and laughed:


    "There is no other reason, just because Roan Greenwood is handsome."


    ��.��


    Several team leaders turned their heads to look at the big screen, and saw Roan with short brown hair, tough facial features, tall and well-proportioned body without looking bloated, and the muscles inside could be seen through the suit.


    "He is indeed a handsome guy."


    The leader of the No. 2 investigation team nodded, tilted his head and smiled:


    "But what''s the use of being handsome if you''re an idiot? I''m afraid I wouldn''t dare to shoot when I meet a criminal! And our FBI agents don''t need to be too handsome, it''s too easy to impress others."


    Augus didn''t care about the other party''s teasing, drank his own coffee in one gulp, and replied with a smile:


    "A softie can also be useful as a softie. With Roan''s face, just a few months of simple training, it is definitely a sharp weapon against female criminals."


    ��.��


    On the other side, in the meeting room.


    Roan looked at the victim''s body in the photo with a calm expression.


    In his cognition, in normal crimes, excluding passion killings, there are only three remaining reasons for killing:


    For money, for love, for revenge.


    In the photo, the wound on the victim''s heart is very large. According to experience, the distance between the murderer and the victim will never exceed two meters.


    In addition, the victim died at night and was shot from the front, then


    "The murderer most likely followed Mike Robert for a long time, and then stopped him at the place where the victim died."


    In Mona''s bewildered expression, Roan analyzed her solemnly:


    "But it was actually just a temptation. The murderer had already determined that the person he wanted to kill was the person in front of him. So the moment Mike Robert turned his head, bang! Killed him with one shot."


    "Wait a moment."


    Mona crossed her hands on her chest to interrupt Roan''s continued analysis, and asked in doubt:


    "How do you know that the murderer is following Mike, instead of waiting for Mike there, and even stopped him?"


    "It does not matter."


    Roan waved his hand and didn''t answer Mona''s question. This is all from the killer''s experience, so it''s inconvenient to say, so he continued:


    "According to the photos of the crime scene, I can be sure that the murderer took one or several things from Mike. This is also the murderer''s goal, so we."


    "STOP!"


    Mona interrupted Roan''s analysis and said seriously:


    "Roan, what you''re saying now is just your speculation, and the crime scene report doesn''t say that the victim lost anything. Why do you think the murderer was premeditated, not a murder of passion. There are also hate crimes. "Passion Kills"


    Roan smiled and did not answer, but asked instead:


    "Would you like to join me and solve this case with me. The bounty is half for each person."


    Mona is a computer expert, and she really needs the help of technical talents.


    "She won''t play house with you, a rookie who is really involved in solving a case for the first time."


    Without waiting for Mona to answer, Fisher, who had analyzed the clues with other agents for a long time, came over with a notebook and said to Roan:


    "Listen, Roan, as long as you beg me now, I will give you a place in my team to sort out the materials, because you have always sorted out the materials quickly and neatly before, and I am very optimistic about you."


    Hearing what Fisher said, several trainee agents who had a good relationship with him burst into laughter. Markey, the guy who had cheated on Roan, also walked up to him, and put his arm around Roan''s shoulder:


    "This is actually for the good of Luo An. Think about it carefully, just sorting out the information and you will get points. How simple and easy. You don''t need to run around, and there is no danger of meeting criminals!"


    There was a sneer on the corner of Roan''s mouth, his eyes were serious, he smiled and put his arms around Fisher and Markey''s shoulders, and said in a deep voice:


    "How about this, you join my team, I go out to investigate the murderer, you just help me sort out the information! This is also for your own good, just think about it, just sorting out the information will get you points, how simple and easy, there is no The danger of confronting criminals!"


    Roan''s words fell into the ears of the two, and Fisher and Markey blushed and became furious, subconsciously reaching out to Roan, trying to push him away from their side.


    "You can''t say that I still want to do it?"


    Before the two of them could react, Roan suddenly yelled, and then he clenched his right fist and hit Fisher''s left ear hard, then bent down to avoid Maggie''s right hand, and kicked Maggie''s ankle with a click , Markey screamed loudly, and Roan grabbed his leg before he could retract it in time, and was directly pulled forward by Roan.


    Right in the crotch of Fisher.


    "ah-"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 3： Im self-defense

    Chapter 3 I am justifiable self-defense


    In front of the meeting room, Fisher fell to the ground with his ears bleeding and covered his crotch with his hands and screamed. Markey lay on the ground with his legs split and howled, his left foot twisted in a weird arc.


    "Hey! Hey! Hey!"


    "Stop!"


    "Pull them apart!"


    Roan''s movements were too fast. It took only a few seconds for Fisher and Markey to lie down on the ground from his yelling and actual action. Many trainee agents in the office hadn''t reacted until the two fell to the ground. Howling and screaming, the trainee agents on the side came back to their senses.


    Several intern detectives who had a good relationship with Fisher looked at each other, and rushed forward to throw Roan to the ground. It was a vertical shot, easily killing the trainee agents who were trying to surround him, and mercilessly gave a ruthless facial massage to a few familiar faces in his memory.


    "FU-K!"


    "Gift Crab!"


    "Jesus!"


    Several intern detectives standing aside watching the play talked repeatedly, and they all stood there in shock and waved their hands at a loss. Those who wanted to persuade the fight didn''t know which side to persuade. There were many people on Fisher''s side, and Roan''s side Can''t beat it again.


    A few female trainee detectives on the side stared blankly at this scene, dumbfounded. For some reason, Mona felt her whole body trembling, her face flushed, as if her body had been electrified.


    Roan snorted coldly, knocked down the last person, and threw the notebook in his hand at Fisher:


    "They are all trash, and they still solve the case. A group of people can''t beat me alone!"


    "ah-"


    Roan accidentally threw the notebook crookedly and hit Fisher in the crotch, causing another scream.


    Maki, with his legs split, eyes flickering with fear and anger, shouted loudly:


    "If you have the ability, don''t leave here! It is a felony for an FBI agent to attack an agent!"


    "I won''t run away! Who said I was attacking a detective, I was watching from the surveillance, a group of people wanted to hit me, I was acting in self-defense!"


    Roan pulled the chair beside the conference table casually, sat down, raised his legs and sneered:


    "And I suspect that you are plotting against me. After a while, the senior detectives will come, and I will sue you for first-degree murder!"


    "FU-K!"


    Hearing the entry of first-degree murder as a felony, those who were still standing were surprised. They didn''t expect Roan to make such a big deal out of it.


    Mona didn''t care about Roan''s words, her complexion became more and more red. Then she seemed to think of something, shivered fiercely, and her expression instantly became clear.


    In the office with the big screen hanging, the air is extremely quiet.


    Seeing Luo An, who was sitting on a chair quietly waiting for the investigator in the surveillance, the five investigation team leaders had different expressions.


    No. 2, No. 3, the leader of the investigation team looked okay at all, except that he was surprised at Luo An''s extraordinary skill, but he didn''t express much.


    After hearing what Roan was going to sue the intern detectives for first-degree murder, Augustus, the leader of the fifth investigation team, raised his head and laughed, and Brosen, the leader of the first investigation team, turned pale.


    "Hahahahahaha!"


    Augus laughed so hard holding his big belly that he couldn��t breathe:


    "Yes, I did see the right person!"


    Seeing that Roan was sitting on a chair in the meeting room to observe the movement of the camera, Augustus thought that Roan had guessed that the investigation team leader would observe them after this meeting, so he chose to violently hurt people.


    But during the fight, except for throwing the notebook at the end, all of Roan''s actions were in line with self-defense. If the two parties really go to court, excluding off-court factors, Roan''s chances of winning the case are much greater than Fisher and Maki those people.


    Augus'' laughter slowly disappeared, and his eyes on Roan were extremely hot:


    "I like this kid, he is handsome, smart and skilled, he looks a bit like me when I was young!"


    The leader of the two-three-four-good investigation team glanced at Augustus''s **** face and big belly, and then looked at Roan''s handsome face and figure sitting there like a model in the surveillance, Qiqi let out a sigh in his heart.


    "Hi, Brosen."


    Augus turned his head to look at the No. 1 investigation team leader with a livid face, hehe smiled, and said:


    "Give me some face, let''s forget about it. The No. 5 investigation team has just been established, and I happen to be short of people with skills and brains like Luo An."


    "no."


    "I invite you to drink tonight."


    "no."


    "Um?"


    Augus raised his brows, pointed at Fisher who was still clutching his crotch and crying in the camera, and said:


    "Then I will go to the team supervisor. I want to ask why the previous task failed, and the three-person team only deducted points from Roan."


    ".Fu-k!"


    Bruosen snorted coldly, slammed the table down heavily, turned around and strode away.


    "Goodboy."


    Augus smiled, copied Roan Greenwood''s information and left the office as well.


    The leader of the 234 investigation team looked at each other, shook his head and turned to leave.


    Training Department, Interrogation Room.


    "Hey, boy, you are amazing."


    Senior Agent Old York of the Training Department walked into the room, sat down on a chair, picked up a cigarette and started smoking:


    "One?"


    "no thank you."


    Roan, who was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, refused: "I don''t know how to smoke."


    "Good Boy."


    Old York nodded, put away the lighter, took a puff of smoke beautifully, and began to look at Roan seriously. After a few clicks, he said with a smile:


    "You know, Roan, you are completely famous now. Everyone on the 23rd and 24th floors of the FBI''s New York branch knows that a tough new trainee agent hit ten, not only won, but he was unscathed .��


    "It''s not that I''m strong, it''s that those people are too weak."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Old York was even happier. The United States likes the strong, especially his red neck from Texas, and asked immediately:


    "Aren''t you worried?"


    Roan was puzzled: "What are you worried about?"


    "Fighting among agents is a felony. Don''t you worry about being suspended and fired?"


    Old York scares Roan.


    "I''m in self-defense."


    Roan widened his eyes, full of sincerity:


    "There are cameras in the conference room. The whole process of me being attacked by the other party was recorded. You can''t frame me."


    "Hahaha! To be honest, I like you boy very much. If someone hadn''t acted quickly, I would definitely transfer you to me."


    Old York exhaled a puff of smoke and laughed, got up and opened the door of the interrogation room:


    "Let''s go, boy, someone is picking you up outside."


    "Thank you, sir."


    Roan was very polite, got up and walked out of the interrogation room, and found that the person waiting for him outside was Mona.


    Mona stepped forward, handed the golden FBI badge to Roan, and joked with a smile:


    "Wow, isn''t this our super agent Roan Greenwood who hits ten? How about it? Is the air conditioner in the interrogation room good?"


    "Actually, it''s not bad, at least the mouth and body odor of Fisher and Markey can''t be smelled here."


    Roan took the FBI badge, pinned it on his chest, looked at Mona with his head tilted, and asked with a smile:


    "It seems that you agreed to join my team."


    "No way, Fisher and the others have all gone to the hospital for an examination, and I''m afraid they won''t have the face to come back in a while."


    Mona spread her hands, and walked to the elevator side by side with Roan, the elevator door closed slowly, Roan stretched out his hand to Mona, smiling:


    "Then, happy cooperation."


    "It''s a happy cooperation. By the way, if the case is successfully solved, the bounty will be half of each person."


    "Of course, we agreed."

 Chapter 4： white and black radish

    Chapter 4 White and black radish


    New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Lower Manhattan Branch.


    "The patient''s condition is not serious, just rest for a month."


    "Okay, thank you doctor."


    Seeing the doctor turn and leave, the leader of the No. 1 investigation team, Brosen, turned his gaze to the ward. Seeing Fisher wailing loudly on the bed with his legs still crossed, his face darkened, and he cursed in a low voice:


    "A group of people can''t beat one person, what a waste!"


    Roanne Greenwood is covered by Augustus, Brosen feels that it is not good for him to start now, but according to his subordinates, Roanne Greenwood is now investigating the park murder case


    "As long as he doesn''t find the murderer within three days, things will be easy."


    Not intending to meet Fisher, the unfortunate nephew, Brosen turned and left.


    No. 5 investigation team office area, in the team leader''s office.


    Roan sat on a chair, looking at the black man with a big belly behind the desk, with a calm expression on his face.


    After leaving the interrogation room of the training department, he was brought here by Mona. Roan guessed with a simple thought that the other party was the officer who called him out. his eyes.


    As for the other party not talking, just staring at his little trick, Roan didn''t feel much. A simple slap in the face just treated the other party as a white radish, er, a black radish.


    Black Carrot Augustus looked calmly in front of him, Roan, who was neither humble nor overbearing, liked it more and more, and he didn��t talk nonsense at the moment, and said directly:


    "I am Augustus, the leader of the No. 5 investigation team. To be honest, Roan, I like you very much."


    Roan frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with this sentence.


    "But your current situation is very troublesome, and it is always wrong to fight."


    Hearing this, Luo An nodded with confidence, here we come, the next step is carrots and sticks.


    Augustus took a sip of coffee and continued:


    "This is part of the information about the shooting in the park. It''s twelve o''clock at noon. I''ll give you three days to catch the murderer. If successful, I''ll immediately transfer you to investigation team No. 5 and make you an official detective." .If it fails, "


    Augus threw the folder on the desktop to Roan and laughed:


    "I will also transfer you to the No. 5 investigation team, but you will be responsible for sorting out documents and writing case reports for the next six months, understand?"


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, then raised his head and asked:


    "If I successfully solve the case, how will the bounty be divided?"


    "If you solve the case yourself, the bounty will naturally be yours."


    "Thank you, sir."


    Roan stopped talking nonsense, picked up the folder and left the office.


    Seeing Roan''s tall and straight back, Augustus nodded appreciatively, and exclaimed:


    "Young, handsome and smart, with a decisive and polite personality. So much like me when I was young!"


    Amid the curious and suspicious eyes of all the agents, Luo An walked out of the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team without changing his face, patted Mona on the shoulder waiting for him at the door of the office area, and laughed:


    "Let''s go, teammate, we have three days to get the bounty."


    "Why, do you think three days is a long time?"


    Mona gave Roan a blank look, took the folder and walked to the elevator, and asked while reading the information:


    "Where do we go next?"


    "Get the weapon first."


    In the equipment warehouse, Mona applied for a body armor and a Glock 19. After sorting it out, she turned her head to look at Roan''s equipment and froze in place.


    I saw Roan wearing a pitch-black combat uniform, holding a tactical helmet, and a plate-carrying vest on his chest. Several bags on his waist were stuffed with smoke bombs and shock bombs, and there were two assault pistols Glock in the holster. 18. Mona took a closer look, Roan also took six pistols with extended magazines.


    "The extended magazine of the Glock 18 can hold 33 rounds of bullets, and you actually took a full eight magazines!"


    Mona felt that she was going crazy, and asked loudly:


    "This is New York, we are going to investigate! Do you think this is a battlefield?"


    ��I��m taking so many things because this is New York.��


    Hearing Mona''s shout, Roan spread his hands, looking helpless:


    "If it weren''t for the equipment library not allowing it, I would still like to take a few grenades and submachine guns!"


    ".Fu-k!"


    Mona covered her forehead with her hands and whispered to herself:


    "I''m really crazy, I actually agreed to team up with this kind of person."


    Roan explained solemnly: "Listen, Mona, there is only one life. I don''t want people to die before they make money. Let''s go, we only have three days."


    Seeing the back of Roan striding away, and the surprised eyes of passers-by agents, Mona''s mouth twitched, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she followed.


    Just didn''t dare to look up all the way.


    Central Park, three o''clock in the afternoon.


    The two drove to the small road at the scene of the crime. It was already daytime, and many tourists were wandering in the park.


    Seeing the figure of Luo An''an''s deputy armed, passers-by subconsciously avoided, and several patrolling policemen stepped forward to ask Luo An''s identity, but they were all stopped by Mona holding an FBI ID.


    Seeing the suspicious eyes and all kinds of eyes around, Mona suppressed her breath, tilted her head and asked:


    "What are we doing here? The crime scene has been cleaned up by the New York Police Department after taking photos and searching for clues. There are no clues here."


    Roan stood in the photo where Mike''s body was in meditation, and answered after hearing Mona''s question:


    "No, the location of the dead body is the biggest clue."


    "?"


    Seeing the question marks on Mona''s face, Roan said seriously:


    "Have you ever wondered why the murderer killed Mike in this location?"


    "Eh, because there was no one else here except the murderer and the dead?"


    "That''s just one of the reasons."


    Roan nodded and continued:


    "The more important reason is that it is hidden enough, and it is convenient to leave after killing people."


    Roan pointed around and introduced to Mona:


    "The west of this location is the river and the lake. The testimonies of several passers-by did not mention the sound of boats passing by, so it is impossible for the murderer to escape from the direction of the river. The south and north are trails leading to the road. , To the east is a large forest, and the case report shows that the New York Police Department did not find any useful clues in the forest, so..."


    Mona''s eyes lit up, and she continued:


    "So the murderer escaped from the crime scene by the south or north path?"


    "No, the murderer escaped from the woods."


    Roan shook his head and continued:


    "When the passers-by in the testimony heard the gunshots, they all walked together from the north-south path at the scene of the crime, so the murderer could only escape from the woods."


    Mona thought briefly and found that the testimony was indeed the case, and then asked again:


    "But the New York Police Department took police dogs to search in the woods to the east, and they found no clues"


    "Dogs can''t, I can."


    "???"


    New book please follow up! Ask for a recommendation ticket! Thank you everyone!


    Someone asked the author before why the protagonist Roan didn��t hold a rifle. Here I will explain:


    According to regulations, the main job of FBI agents is to investigate cases and find clues.


    Therefore, most of the weapons allowed to be carried are pistols, and rifles and submachine guns are not allowed. When encountering enemies, the above requirements for FBI agents are "seek immediate support" and "prioritize self-preservation".


    So there is no FBI agent who knocks on someone''s door with a rifle and asks for clues.


    Long guns and short guns are two different things.


    Those who can hold rifles and submachine guns belong to the swat operation team in the FBI. This department is the one that confronts criminals head-on.


    As for the equipment of the swat action team, it will be at the beginning of the next chapter.

 Chapter 5： stalker

    Chapter 5 Stalker


    Luo An glanced at the scene of the crime, automatically ignoring the passers-by watching in the distance, his expression moved slightly, and he began to use the killer''s modus operandi to simulate the murderer''s behavior at the time of the crime.


    Time seemed to turn back. In the dark park path, the murderer followed Mike all the way. Mike seemed to have noticed something and began to trot, but he didn''t get rid of him. At this time, the murderer called out Mike''s name, and Mike turned around in desperation and agreed Bang!


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, imitating the action of shooting with his right hand, then stood at the place of Mike''s body for a few seconds, and then ran towards the woods to the east.


    Mona, who was standing next to her, watched Roan''s actions with a dazed expression. Seeing Roan striding towards the woods, she hurriedly got up and tried to catch up with him, but there were too many branches in the woods, so Mona just lowered her head to avoid the branches, and then Looking up, Roan was nowhere to be seen.


    "Shit!"


    Mona cursed, but didn''t understand why Roan could run so fast in the woods. Everyone came out of the FBI Academy in Virginia. Did someone give Roan a little trouble?


    Since she couldn''t keep up with Roan, Mona resolutely chose not to follow, turned her head and walked back to the scene of the crime, preparing to wait for Roan to come to her.


    On the other side, Roan completely ignored the wild mandarin ducks who scolded him, and kept speeding through the woods. He quickly ran out of the woods and arrived on a road east of the park.


    Looking at the continuous flow of vehicles on the road, and then at the shops across the road, Roan thought for a few seconds and turned back.


    At the scene of the crime, Mona was sitting on a chair and fiddling with the computer. Seeing Roan, she waved her hand to signal that she was here. Seeing Roan sitting down, Mona asked:


    "How about it, did you find any clues?"


    "certainly."


    Roan nodded with a smile, and said, "The murderer should be a soldier whose life was not satisfactory after retiring from the army. He came out to pick up the job, and he might even have retired from the special forces."


    "Why?"


    "Because I only found footprints of New York Police Department police officers and police dogs along the way, and I found nothing else."


    ��.��


    Mona was speechless. She didn''t expect Roan to say that she didn''t find any clues, but Roan said that she didn''t find any clues, which is the biggest clue:


    "The place I walked just now is the best place to run after killing someone."


    "There are countless branches in the woods. Anyone passing by will break a few branches inadvertently, but I just checked carefully. There are either police dog footprints, or police dog footprints and police boots at the same time. Elsewhere there were no newly broken branches and no obvious footprints."


    "The only people who can have this kind of anti-reconnaissance awareness are people in the special forces."


    After listening to Roan''s explanation, Mona stopped fiddling with the computer and tilted her head wondering: Did she go to a fake FBI training academy?


    "What''s wrong?"


    "nothing."


    Seeing Roan asking herself, Mona shook her head, pushed the laptop in her hand to Roan, and said:


    "This is the autopsy report just sent, which shows that there is a small amount of alcohol in the stomach of the deceased."


    "Did the deceased drink alcohol?"


    Roan immediately looked happy when he saw the report, tilted his head and asked:


    "There are several bars in the south of the park, can you find them out?"


    "Why South?"


    Mona took the computer and asked while searching for relevant information with her fingers.


    "Because the deceased came from the south side of the park...I guess."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona curled her lips. After a few seconds, the search was completed, and she showed the screen to Roan:


    ��There are only two bars in the immediate neighborhood, and many more a few blocks away.��


    "OK, let''s go to these two bars first, anyway, we have plenty of time."


    "No, we only have three days."


    The bar on the left of the block has not seen Mike the Dead, Roan and Mona turned and walked to the bar on the right.


    "Have you met this person?"


    Seeing the photo in Mona''s hand, the bar owner shook his head:


    "He''s not a regular at our bar, I didn''t see this guy yesterday."


    Mona looked up at Roan, and Roan turned to look at the pretty waitress chatting with someone, the bar owner saw this and called the waiter over loudly.


    The waitress with long red hair and mainly protruding came over, and her eyes lit up when she saw Roan''s face:


    "Hello, just call me Christine."


    Said hello, but the waitress only stared at Roan.


    Mona rolled her beautiful eyes, and handed the photo to Christine, blocking Roan''s sight:


    "Have you met this person?"


    Christine was not angry when her sight was blocked, she gave Roan a wink, and said directly after taking the photo:


    "I''ve seen this person come to our bar yesterday and ordered two glasses of red wine. He sat in the corner and seemed to be waiting for someone. But no one came until the end, so he drank the two glasses of red wine by himself and left. "


    Hearing this, the corner of Mona''s mouth twitched, and she subconsciously looked at Roan. She didn''t expect that Mike actually entered the park from the south.


    Roan didn''t see Mona''s expression, and learned that Christine had seen the deceased Mike, so he hurriedly asked:


    "Did someone come in after he left? Or was there someone looking for him?"


    "Am I rewarded for answering this question?"


    ��.��


    Roan was speechless, Mona snorted coldly, patted Roan''s shoulder and said to her:


    "As long as the information you provide is useful, this man is yours tonight."


    "Then it''s settled."


    Christine smiled and stuffed a note into Roan''s arms, and said:


    "There was an old man sitting at the bar. After the man in the photo left the bar, he followed him out of the bar."


    Roan looked back at the bar owner instantly:


    "Do you have surveillance cameras here?"


    Christine glanced at the bar owner disdainfully when she heard this, her tone was very unhappy:


    "There is only one, and it is still facing the cashier, mainly because we are afraid that we will steal money."


    "Christine!"


    The owner of the bar was a little embarrassed, and Christine didn''t care about him. He lowered his head and found a dozen notes in his pocket. After searching for a while, he took out one of them and handed it to Roan, shrugging:


    "This is the old man''s contact information."


    ��.��


    Seeing Roan and Mona looking at him in surprise, Christine put his hands on his hips and raised his chest, the mountains and mountains gathered��whom do you look down on?


    "Waiting for you tonight, handsome guy!"


    Christine stood behind the bar door and waved to Roan and Roan who left the bar. Roan silently put the note in his pocket, and Mona sat in the car, using a laptop to enter the FBI internal network to search for the identity information of the owner of the phone number. .


    "Found it."


    Soon, the computer displayed who the owner of the phone number was:


    "The owner of the phone number is West Watts, 56 years old, a professor at New York University. He lives in Skarsdale. His wife just passed away half a year ago. The cause of death was cancer."


    "University professor?"


    Hearing Mona''s introduction, Roan, who was sitting in the driver''s seat, rubbed his temples, feeling a little pain in his head:


    "Did I make a mistake in my analysis?"


    "To be honest, I don''t think your analysis is correct. Except that the deceased did enter the park from the south."


    Mona continued to look down at the information on the computer, and said at the same time:


    "Let''s go to West''s house first and catch him before we talk."


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, started the car and turned around to leave the bar.


    There was only the sound of Mona''s typing in the car. Roan felt a little awkward in the atmosphere. Just as he was about to say something, Mona''s body suddenly shook and shouted:


    "Fu-k! West died in a car accident!"


    Ask for a recommendation ticket! Please follow up!

 Chapter 6： murder

    Chapter 6 Murder


    Mona''s voice was so sudden that Roan almost threw the steering wheel out of fear.


    The next second, Roan reacted, and hurriedly turned around and asked:


    "What? When did you die? How did you die?"


    Mona looked down at the computer carefully, speaking quickly:


    "I just hacked into the internal network of the New York Police Department and wanted to locate West. I found out that West had a car accident at an intersection in Lower Queens ten minutes ago, and he died on the spot! But the New York Police Department is in Bomb ingredients were found in the tires of the car."


    "Ten minutes ago?"


    Luo An''s pupils shrank suddenly, and Mona also thought of something, and the two looked at each other in unison, saying in unison:


    "Kill and silence!"


    "The opponent attacked so quickly?"


    Hearing Mona''s crackling typing on the keyboard, Roan turned the car around and drove towards Queens, rubbing his temple with his left hand, feeling a little tricky about the mastermind behind the scenes.


    The car passed two intersections, Roan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road, turned to look at Mona, and said in a deep voice:


    "Mona, is there a possibility that West is not the murderer who killed Mike, but the person Mike wanted to wait for at the bar."


    "Um?"


    Hearing this, Mona paused her hand on the keyboard, suddenly came to her senses, and then analyzed Roan''s words:


    "Mike wanted to meet with West to talk about something, but West was worried that Mike would be followed and the bar was not safe, so he didn''t meet Mike at the bar, but waited for Mike to leave the bar to find a place to contact him! "


    "Exactly!"


    Roan nodded and continued:


    "The anti-tracking technology of the two of them is obviously not good, and they were both seen by the murderer in the end. The murderer killed Mike in the park last night, but he didn''t find what he wanted, so he killed West today."


    While talking, Roan clapped his palms suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly tilted his head and asked:


    "Mona, are there West''s car keys at the scene of the car accident?"


    "car key?"


    Mona was puzzled, but subconsciously began to type on the keyboard. After a few seconds, she raised her head and replied:


    "No, the NYPD did not find the car keys."


    "I knew it!"


    Luo An laughed, started the vehicle and turned around in the street, and rushed out in another direction.


    Mona, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was very uncomfortable due to the inertia brought by the turning of the vehicle. Seeing that the direction of the car was not the accident site, she hurriedly asked:


    "Hey! Roan, where are you going?"


    "Go to West''s house!"


    Hearing Roan''s excited answer, Mona thought for a few seconds and suddenly realized:


    "Men''s car keys are usually hung with their own door keys."


    "Exactly."


    Roan nodded, and started to step on the accelerator after crossing the traffic lights:


    "The murderer definitely didn''t find what he wanted on West''s body and in the car, so he could only go to West''s house to find it. If we are fast enough, maybe we can catch the real murderer after a while!"


    Seeing the rapidly receding houses outside the car window, and seeing the car under the seat rushing left and right in the traffic flow, Mona swallowed her saliva, and silently changed her hand from typing on the computer to grab the seat belt, then turned her head and said:


    "Roan, there is no need to be so anxious. If something happens, even if you are the FBI, your driver''s license will be revoked."


    Luo An chuckled, stepped on the accelerator, and said confidently:


    "Don''t worry, I don''t have a driver''s license, they can''t revoke me."


    "WTF?"


    "Hehe, just kidding."


    squeak ��


    On a certain road in Skarsdale, a dark SUV suddenly braked and stopped next to a two-story villa.


    Mona put on her bulletproof vest, got off the co-pilot with a Glock 19 in her hand, and turned her head to see Roan, who was wearing a helmet and fully armed. The corner of his mouth twitched, but he still nodded and made a gesture. The two walked towards the gate of the villa together.


    Roan walked up the steps with guns in both hands. Looking through the glass window, he saw that there was no sign of anyone in the room. Seeing that Mona was waiting for her action, she didn''t hesitate, kicked the door out of the room, and shouted at the same time. :


    "FBIOPENUP!"


    boom-


    The house was quiet as if no one was there. Mona looked at the broken door under Roan''s feet and didn''t know what to say, but she still leaned on the gun with a gun in her hand, and followed Roan''s footsteps to search every house in the villa as quickly as possible.


    "Safety."


    "Safety."


    After confirming that the villa was empty, Mona began to check the house carefully, but only saw magazines, coffee, books and other sundries in a mess on the ground.


    Obviously, the murderer was one step ahead of the two of them. Not only did he find the things and leave, but he also messed up the villa, intending to confuse the people who came here to investigate.


    Mona began to contact the leader of the No. 5 investigation team, hoping that the other party would send someone to search the house for clues. Roan frowned when he saw the broken glass windows in the kitchen and the spices on the stairs:


    "Something is wrong."


    "Um?"


    Seeing that Mona was puzzled, Roan put on the helmet again without hesitation and drew out the gun. While walking slowly towards the back door, he said in a muffled voice:


    "The murderer hasn''t gone far. The things in the house seem to be deliberately messed up. In fact, the other party left very hurriedly! Who would spread the seasoning everywhere? He must have seen our car and made a mistake!"


    Mona nodded, followed closely behind with a pistol.


    Slowly opened the back door of the villa, Roan turned around and rushed out, but there were no pedestrians on the road, only a few cars parked on the side of the road.


    "Roan?"


    Mona tilted her head and looked at Roan. Roan made a gesture, and slowly walked towards the golden Chevrolet closest to her with guns in both hands, and shouted loudly at the same time:


    "FBI! Roll down the windows! Put your hands on the steering wheel and let me see your hands!"


    "OK! OK! Don''t shoot!"


    The car window opened slowly, and a white girl wearing a suspender skirt appeared in front of the two of them. Roan glanced briefly and found that there was only the girl in the Chevrolet. Mona was also relieved to see this.


    Probably not her.


    Roan and Mona looked at each other, and both understood what the other was thinking. Roan took a step back, and Mona put away her gun, ready to make a simple question to the girl.


    At this moment, the black Ford not far in front of the golden Chevrolet suddenly started. Roan raised his gun and was about to stop him, but the owner of the Ford reacted faster. The pistol pulled the trigger!


    boom! boom! boom!


    "Get down!"


    Roan pushed Mona to the ground, pulled out the front door of the golden Chevrolet and blocked it in front of him, ignoring the passionate high-pitched singing of the girl in suspenders, Roan switched the Glock 18 to burst mode and buckled in the direction of the black Ford The trigger was pulled.


    bang bang bang bang��


    Roan''s marksmanship was very accurate. The bullet not only hit the Ford owner''s left hand and wrist holding the gun, knocking the gun in his hand to the ground, but even a few bullets went through the rear glass and grazed his scalp, scaring him. The Ford owner broke out in a cold sweat.


    "Fu-k!"


    After cursing loudly, the Ford owner no longer hesitated, and didn''t care whether the front of the car was turned in place. He slammed on the accelerator and rushed towards the road.


    Seeing this, Roan decisively aimed at Ford''s right rear wheel, bang!


    The gunshot rang out, and the next second, the Ford, which was going straight ahead, immediately swayed on the road, and it didn''t take long before it slammed into the trash can on the side of the road.

 Chapter 7： Find someone to take the blame

    Chapter 7 Find someone to take the blame


    "Are you all right?"


    Seeing that the Ford car smashed the trash can beside the street, Roan turned to check the status of Mona and the suspender girl.


    "I''m fine."


    Mona was only covered with dust and was not injured, but the girl in the sling was unable to get out because she was sitting in the driver''s seat when the shooting happened, and she had several bruises on her shoulders and back.


    "It''s fine if you''re not hurt."


    Roan automatically blocked the swear words of the girl in suspenders, and gave Mona a look to signal her to solve the girl''s trouble, while he picked up the gun and walked slowly towards the black Ford car that merged with the trash can.


    As Roan expected, the cab of the black Ford car was empty. Roan went around the car and found nothing wrong, so he began to rummage through the car to find useful clues.


    A minute later, Mona came over, smiled and said to Roan:


    "It''s just a little girl who skipped class from school behind her parents'' backs, and I have already driven her away."


    "you sure?"


    Thinking of the girl''s anklet with suspenders, Roan shook his head and didn''t delve into it. Instead, he handed the vehicle registration certificate he found in this car to Mona, and said:


    "There is the owner''s name on it, how about it, can you find out the identity of the other party?"


    "Three minutes will be enough."


    Mona gave Roan a ''trust me'' look, turned around to get the laptop in the SUV, and patted Roan on the shoulder before leaving:


    "You actually found the murderer. You''re lucky. I''m also lucky."


    It was said to be three minutes, but in fact it was less than two minutes. After a burst of crackling keyboard sounds, Mona turned the direction of the computer screen and motioned Roan to check the information she had found.


    "Conrad Cutler, male, 40 years old, former Marine Corps Scout."


    Seeing that the photo on the computer looks the same as the person who shot him, Roan clapped his hands:


    "I''d say the killer was definitely a veteran."


    "Yeah."


    Mona nodded helplessly, took the computer back, and asked seriously:


    "What are you going to do next? The two of us will definitely not be able to beat each other."


    "No, you can''t beat the opponent."


    Roan shook his head, said something that made Mona gnash her teeth, then took out her phone before the other party got angry, and said:


    "Call the officer first and ask them to issue a wanted warrant for Conrad Cutler."


    "Why?"


    Mona was puzzled, wouldn''t the intern agents of other teams know the identity of the murderer if the arrest warrant was issued?


    "Two reasons, Mona."


    Roan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, saw the brick-like Nokia''s mouth twitch, but still explained to Mona:


    "The first point, the two of us are now located in the small town of Skarsdale, which is a well-known rich area in New York City. A dangerous murderer is hidden in this area. If something really happens, the two of us will be interns." Detectives can''t bear the anger of the FBI''s top management. So this matter must be reported, and if something happens, it will be a headache for the top."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona was a little surprised, and turned her head to look Roan up and down carefully, as if she was meeting him for the first time.


    "Second point."


    Roan finally found August''s phone number in Nokia''s address book, and continued:


    "As long as the FBI issues a wanted warrant, there will be more or less some rewards. We can get more money if we catch him."


    ��.��


    Hearing that she might still get the money, Mona''s eyes lit up instantly.


    In a meeting room on the 23rd floor of the Jacobs Federal Office Building, August 5, the leader of the investigation team, is having a meeting with other leaders of the investigation team, as well as the team leader Vernis.


    beep beep��


    Hearing the phone ringing at his waist, Augustus turned and left the meeting room without hesitation.


    The team leader and other investigation team leaders glanced at Augustus and didn''t care. This is the normal state of each team leader. When a case is contacted, they naturally need to answer the phone quickly, even if they are in a meeting.


    But in the next second, Augustus'' loud voice passed through the wall and entered their ears:


    "What? You found the murderer now?"


    The leader of investigation team No. 1, Brosen, subconsciously felt something was wrong when he heard what Augustus said.


    Could it be the Roanne Greenwood case?


    But when he thought that he passed by the intern agent''s office before the meeting, and saw those intern agents investigating the social relationship of the deceased and analyzing clues, Brosen shook his head and smiled.


    Definitely thinking too much.


    boom!


    The door of the meeting room was pushed open, and Augustus walked in and said directly to the team leader Vernis:


    "Excuse me, sir, I have a shooting case here that needs to be dealt with urgently."


    Verinis'' face remained unchanged, and she asked:


    "Which shooting case, I don''t remember you having such a small case as a shooting case."


    "It''s the test case of those trainee detectives. I have a new trainee detective named Roann Greenwood who just called me and said that he has found the murderer of the shooting murder and is in history with him. There was an exchange of fire in the town of Castel."


    Augus still respects the team leader Vernis. There is no way, the funds for the group��s activities are held in other people��s hands. Hearing the other party��s questions, Augustus immediately asked and answered:


    "The murderer is a veteran with strong abilities. He disappeared after losing a car. Because the murderer has a high anti-detection awareness and is good at hiding himself, the trainee detective Roan Greenwood asked me to issue a reward for the murderer and urgently Residents in the Skarsdale area are advised to stay safe."


    Pata.


    The signature pen in Brosen''s hand accidentally dropped on the table.


    "The Skarsdale area is a well-known affluent area in New York."


    Verinis closed the pen in her hand, leaned back on the chair, stared at Augustus, and said:


    "If someone gets hurt in there, I''ll be passive, you know?"


    "Yeah"


    Augus nodded, indicating that he understood: "I will issue a reward, and at the same time mobilize the swat tactical team to conduct a blockade search of that area."


    Seeing that Verinis nodded in satisfaction, Augustus picked up the notebook on the desktop and turned to leave the conference room.


    "Intern Detective Roann Greenwood."


    Verinis wrote down the name Augustus just said in the notebook, and the corners of Brosen''s eyes twitched instantly when he saw this scene.


    Inside the trainee detective''s office.


    Except for the two-person team of Roan and Mona, and the hospitalized duo of Fisher and Markey, the rest of the trainee agents are basically here.


    "Mike''s wife doesn''t have time for crime."


    Before Fisher was standing, Jody, who was beaten up by Roan, covered his right face with an ice pack, and said in a muffled voice:


    "According to the interrogation records, she was attending a seminar in Los Angeles at the time of the incident, and everyone in the seminar could testify for him."


    "Who are Mike''s friends?"


    "It''s either a reporter or a member of parliament, or it''s a senior official of various companies, such as Sean, the partner of the ''Morrowway Pharmaceutical Company''."


    Just as the group of intern detectives who had been beaten up by Roan were analyzing the case one by one, Mediterranean opened the door and walked in, shouting:


    "Boys, you have a new mission, go to the Skarsdale area for me to participate in the hunt!"


    "What?"


    Jody stood up clutching the ice pack, and asked doubtfully:


    "But sir, we haven''t found the murderer of the shooting."


    Mediterranean interrupted Jody with a wave of his hand, and said directly:


    "The target of this search and arrest operation is the murderer who shot the murder case. Also, the trace of the other party was found by Roan and Mona, so the two of them have already got half of the 80 points. Who can get the remaining points?" If you get it, it depends on which one of you is lucky enough to catch the murderer."


    "WTF?"


    Hearing Mediterranean Sea''s words, there were bursts of modal particles starting with F in the intern detective''s office.


    Ask for collection! Please recommend!

 Chapter 8： stories in the clinic

    Chapter 8 Stories in the clinic


    The small town of Skarsdale, six o''clock in the evening.


    ��This burger looks good.��


    At the entrance of a fast food restaurant in a small town, Mona sat back in the car with the hamburger and Coke she bought, handed half of it to Roan, and said while eating:


    "What''s next?"


    This afternoon Roan led Mona to successfully find clues, and discovered that the murderer''s performance in the past few hours had completely established Roan''s dominant position in the two-person team.


    After taking a big bite of the hamburger and gulping another sip of Coke, Roan started the car and began to turn the steering wheel:


    "I called Augustus just now. He sent information about the murderer Conrad Cutler to various police stations in the New York area. The arrest warrant for him has already begun."


    "Good!"


    Mona''s eyes sparkled, she tilted her head and asked:


    "How much is the bounty?"


    "$5,000. But Augustus is already heading for Skarsdale with a SWAT team."


    Hearing SWAT''s name, Mona''s excited face suddenly calmed down:


    "If they catch the murderer, the money."


    "It must have nothing to do with us."


    Roan swallowed the last hamburger, drank up the Coke, turned the steering wheel and drove the SUV onto the road in the town:


    "So we have to catch Conrad before they get here!"


    "Wait a minute, Roan."


    After eating the food, Mona picked up the computer, and her clever IQ took over the high ground again. She turned her head and said worriedly:


    "Even if we find Conrad, we probably won''t be able to catch each other with just the two of us, right? According to the data, Conrad is a soldier with very rich combat experience. As you said before, I don''t want people who haven''t made money yet. It''s gone."


    "If the murderer is caught and the case is solved, the two of us can get the $50,000 reward offered by the New York Journalists Association, and the $5,000 reward on the arrest warrant."


    ��.��


    "Twenty-seven thousand five hundred dollars per person."


    ��.��


    ��We both earn $2,000 a month.��


    ��.After getting the money, I��m going to leave the dilapidated rental house in Brooklyn and move to a big apartment in Manhattan!��


    Hearing Luo Anyou''s words, Mona tapped the keyboard hard with her hand:


    "Tell me, where shall we find Conrad next?"


    "Ha ha."


    Roan stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to another road in the town. At the same time, he pointed to the packed pistol Conrad left at the scene of the firefight:


    "During the exchange of fire at the entrance of the villa, I shot Conrad''s left hand, causing us to pick up his pistol."


    Hearing what Roan said, Mona nodded and began to check the computer:


    "Conrad will definitely find a place to stop the bleeding first, but the things in the family medicine cabinet obviously cannot treat gunshot wounds, so he will most likely go to a private clinic in the town."


    "Exactly."


    Roan stepped on the accelerator, and the SUV rushed out instantly.


    The small town of Skarsdale is not big, and there are only two private clinics. Roan and An quickly arrived at the one closest to them.


    "Hello, FBI."


    Mona and Roan, who was fully armed, walked into the clinic. Roan took out the golden FBI badge and waved it in front of the beautiful girl at the front desk of the clinic, and asked:


    "Have you ever received a patient with a left hand injury this afternoon?"


    "Uh, no."


    The beautiful girl was a little dazed, but she quickly responded and replied:


    "The clinic only received one girl with a bruised back this afternoon."


    Luo An and Mona glanced at each other, and guessed who the girl at the front desk was. Just about to continue asking, the door to the side of the front desk opened suddenly. A middle-aged Caucasian doctor in a white coat was holding a rosy-faced doctor everywhere. A middle-aged Caucasian woman with a lazy atmosphere came out.


    ��.��


    Roan and Mona glanced at each other. They were both adults, and they could tell what the other two had just experienced at a glance.


    "See you the day after tomorrow, Dr. Tim."


    The white woman in a good mood cast a glance at Roan and Mona, but ignored them. She blew a kiss to the doctor on her own, then turned around and led her pet dog towards the gate of the clinic.


    "See you the day after tomorrow, Ms. Yolande."


    Tim, who was wearing a white coat, nodded without changing his expression. Seeing the woman leave, he turned his eyes to Luo An and asked with a smile:


    "Did the two agents come to me for something?"


    Roan ignored the crotch of the crotch, and asked directly:


    "Did anything strange happen in your clinic this afternoon, such as missing medicines, malfunctioning cameras, etc."


    "No, everything is normal in our clinic."


    Dr. Tim shook his head, saying that his clinic had never installed a camera for the sake of customer privacy.


    ��.��


    It''s for your convenience to have an affair!


    Roan was speechless, and just about to continue to ask the other party a few questions, suddenly there was a scream from the lady Yolande outside:


    "Where''s my car? Who stole my car? Damn it, I''m going to kill that car thief!"


    Hearing the shout, Mona rushed out in a hurry. Mona asked the furious Ms. Yolande:


    "Ma''am, when did you come to the clinic?"


    "Forty minutes ago."


    Ms. Yolande, who was holding the pet dog, was very panicked, grabbed Mona''s arm and shook it vigorously:


    "You guys hurry to find my car! My husband is a member of the Yale Congress! Be sure to find the car! Or I''m doomed!"


    ��.��


    Hearing that the woman came to the clinic forty minutes ago, Roan thought of something instantly, and hurriedly turned to the clinic owner and asked:


    "Doctor, take me to the pharmacy of your clinic now to see if there is anything missing!"


    "Don''t look at it, Mr. Detective."


    The expression on Dr. Tim''s face was even more panicked than that of Ms. Yolande:


    "I lost the key to the pharmacy!"


    "Fu-k!"


    The other party played with Ms. Yolande in the ward for forty minutes. Who knows when the key to the pharmacy was lost.


    Roan cursed in a low voice, rushed out of the clinic and ran to the SUV, unexpectedly Mona was already sitting in the co-pilot waiting for him.


    "Don''t worry, Roan."


    Seeing the anxious look on Roan''s face, Mona said calmly while typing on the keyboard:


    "I just asked about Ms. Yolande''s missing car model and license plate number, and then found out that the other party''s car is the latest Cadillac."


    "so?"


    Roan doesn''t know much about cars, so he doesn''t understand what Mona means.


    "The latest Cadillac has installed satellite positioning systems in every car for the safety of customers."


    Mona smiled calmly, and a lot of codes that Roan couldn''t understand popped up on the computer while her fingers were flying. A few seconds later, when Mona tapped the space, a red dot that shone and moved quickly appeared on the map.


    "This is the road north of the small town of Skarsdale."


    Mona showed the computer screen to Roan and laughed:


    "It seems that the other party hasn''t gone far."


    "I love you so much, Mona! Pulling you into my team was the most **** right thing I did!"


    Luan laughed and turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator and drove the SUV towards the red dot on the map.

 Chapter 9： Four consecutive explosions

    Chapter 9 Four Explosions


    There is a small forest in the north of the small town of Skarsdale. It was already evening, and the street lights on the road in the forest began to illuminate.


    "Sir, this is Mona."


    The pitch-black SUV shuttled quickly on the curved road, and Mona silently suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and was reporting the current situation to Augustus on the other end of the phone with Roan''s mobile phone:


    "The murderer Conrad robbed the Cadillac of a congressman''s wife and is currently fleeing on the road. We request the swat action team to stop him."


    "The SWAT team arrived in ten minutes."


    Augus on the other end of the phone sat in the anti-riot car and said calmly:


    "However, I have notified the New York Police Department before that they have sent the patrol closest to the target location to stop the other party. You must be careful."


    "Okay, sir."


    Mona hung up the phone, stuffed Roan''s Nokia into her pocket, lowered her head and continued to tap on the computer keyboard, with a nervous expression:


    "What should I do next? I just checked Ms. Yolande''s husband, Congressman Yale. He is a staunch Republican Party in the New York area and a staunch gun supporter. He has repeatedly stated in public that he takes robbers wherever he goes. The car is no exception."


    ��.As expected of America.��


    Roan was a little helpless, but the matter was close to the door, so it was impossible to back down, so he tilted his head and told Mona:


    "Put on the body armor, and be careful when you meet the enemy."


    "OK."


    Mona nodded, she knew the importance of her own safety.


    The SUV was driving fast on the road. After turning a few turns, Luo An saw that he was getting closer and closer to the red dot on the computer, and suddenly there was a fierce firefight outside.


    bang bang bang��


    Roan immediately stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the SUV climbed the hill ahead, and immediately saw the front of the car was broken, and the New York Police Department police car was hit on both sides of the road.


    Not only that, but there were two patrolmen on the ground doing emergency treatment for another patrolman who was lying on the ground and shot.


    Roan stepped on the brake, and Mona hurriedly opened the window and asked:


    "What happened?"


    ��A Cadillac forced its way through our temporary checkpoint.��


    One of the patrolmen said with lingering fear: "When the other party punched the card, he took out a rifle and shot at us."


    "Have you seen the other party''s appearance clearly?"


    "A middle-aged white man!"


    "OK, thanks for the message!"


    Mona raised her hand and threw the emergency medical kit under the co-pilot to the two policemen, and Roan kicked the accelerator and rushed out.


    "Thanks to the help of Senator Yale, Conrad now has a rifle."


    Seeing Mona touching the body armor on her chest, Roan frowned:


    "Go and hide in the back seat of the car."


    "OK."


    At the critical moment, Mona did not try to be brave, picked up the computer, got up and moved from the co-pilot to the back seat of the car.


    Seeing Mona sitting in the back seat of the car and fastening her seat belt, Roan''s eyes instantly became sharp:


    "Drag time begins!"


    At night, both sides of the forest road are brightly lit, and not far away is the brightly lit downtown New York City. The nightlife in the big city has just begun.


    The sound of a powerful engine came from far and near, and then the black lightning flashed across the road. The SUV was galloping on the road. Roan sat in the driver''s seat with a cold face, and controlled the steering wheel with both hands. Double the speed of overtaking.


    Seeing the black SUV getting closer and closer to him through the rearview mirror, Conrad''s heart was pounding with pain in his left hand. It was the first time he met someone driving like this on a winding road in the forest area.


    Glancing at the rifle on the co-pilot from the corner of the eye, Conrad felt cold, slammed on the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes, and the Cadillac left two deep rut marks on the ground.


    The co-pilot pointed at the SUV, and Conrad''s face instantly became grim. Sitting in the car, he grabbed the rifle and pulled the trigger towards the car chasing him:


    "Go to hell!"


    bang bang bang bang��


    "Roan! The other side is shooting!"


    Gunshots sounded, Mona yelled in horror, Roan turned the steering wheel to dodge with a serious face, the SUV was like a spirit snake sprinting on the forest road, the speed of winding circles did not decrease at all, and the distance from Cadillac was getting closer and closer.


    Under Conrad''s extremely shocked eyes, the SUV with several bullet holes in the window but the driver was uninjured hit the right side of the Cadillac heavily.


    Boom��


    "Are you crazy? Roan!"


    Mona in the back seat of the car cursed.


    "Bend and hold still!"


    At the moment when the other party was hit, Roan endured the discomfort in his body, picked up a shock bomb from his waist, and threw it into the back seat of the Cadillac.


    Shock bombs, non-lethal weapons, mainly use loud sounds and bright lights to stun enemies.


    Boom!


    Huge and incomparably loud noises resounded inside the Cadillac, and the windows of the two cars instantly burst and sprinkled the ground.


    Roan bent over to avoid the Glock 18 on the side of the SUV, and at the same time pulled Mona out of the car and pulled him behind him. He looked up and saw that the driver''s seat of the Cadillac was empty. , So Roan picked up another shock bomb and threw it over without saying a word.


    Boom!


    The shock bomb exploded again on the other side of the Cadillac. Roan tilted his head and thought about it, but still felt unsafe, so he threw all the four shock bombs in his pocket over.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Four consecutive explosions sounded, and Roan was relieved now. He got up and held the Glock 18 and rushed to the side of the Cadillac, and found that Conrad had been overturned by the shock wave and was completely motionless.


    Carefully kicked the rifle to a distance, Roan took out the handcuffs and handcuffed the fainted Conrad''s hands and feet, and he was relieved.


    Start to touch the corpse. No, it is to check whether there is a hidden weapon in the opponent''s body.


    Mona, covered in dirt, walked cautiously to the side of the Cadillac with a pistol in her hand. She was relieved to see that the enemy had been handcuffed and Roan was unscathed. He slapped Roan''s arm hard.


    "You are crazy! Roan!"


    "I told you before, trust my driving skills."


    Roan waved his hand and put the yellow notebook he found into his pocket. In his previous life, he drove a light van on winding mountain roads and raced against others, but he had never lost. If he hadn''t had a task at the time, he would have gone to an international competition to compete with others.


    "This is not an issue of driving skills, this is an issue of life safety!"


    Just when Mona was about to preach to Roan, Roan''s nose moved slightly, and he suddenly covered her mouth.


    "???"


    Roan looked solemn, took out the Glock 18 and pointed to the trunk of the Cadillac. Mona realized instantly, and immediately took out the pistol and aimed at the trunk.


    The two stood on both sides of the trunk, one on the left and the other on the right. Roan gestured for the countdown to three, and Mona nodded to get ready.


    Boom��


    The countdown ended, Roan suddenly opened the trunk, and Mona immediately raised her pistol to the preparation box.


    It was a dying girl who appeared in front of the two.

 Chapter 10： Team Leader Verenes

    Chapter 10 Team Leader Vereneth


    "It''s the suspender girl, but why is she here?"


    Roan recognized the other party''s identity at a glance, and hurriedly put away the gun to check the other party''s condition, and found that the girl was shot in the shoulder, and excessive blood loss was the main reason for her coma.


    Mona was extremely anxious when she saw the girl whose face was pale and her breathing became more and more rapid. She subconsciously looked at Roan:


    "I remember she left before. What to do? I just threw the emergency medicine kit to the patrolman on the mountain!"


    "fine."


    Roan''s eyes moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice:


    "She is not in a good condition to move. You immediately drive back to the police to get the medicine box. I will call the nearby hospital here and ask them to send an ambulance here."


    "OK."


    Mona nodded, put away her gun and hurriedly drove back along the same road in the SUV without glass.


    Seeing that the shadow of the SUV had completely disappeared, Roan first called the hospital to ask them to send an ambulance here, and then turned around to make sure that Conrad was still unconscious. Then he opened the light blue system page with peace of mind, and took out the Bottle of hemostatic potion.


    This is the first time Roan has used the potion prescribed by the system. The potion is packed in a small transparent glass bottle with a height of five centimeters and a square shape.


    Seeing that the glass bottle said to take orally, Roan opened the girl''s mouth and poured the whole bottle of medicine.


    A few seconds later, the wound on the girl''s shoulder hadn''t healed, but it was no longer bleeding.


    After a while, Mona came back in the SUV, and Roan snatched the emergency medical kit from her before she got out of the car. When Mona got out of the car and walked to the girl, Roan had almost bandaged the girl.


    Mona didn''t think much about it, she just thought that Roan was trying to save the girl''s life.


    "By the way, Mona."


    Wrapped a bow on the girl''s wound, Roan turned his head and smiled and asked Mona:


    "Which investigation team do you want to go to after you become an official detective?"


    "?"


    An hour later, Roan and Mona returned to the 23rd floor of the Jacob Federal Building.


    At this moment, the office of the intern agent was brightly lit and extremely lively. The intern agents who had gone out for a lap in vain all looked enviously at Roan and Mona, who were sitting at the front of the office, bowing their heads and whispering.


    According to the relevant regulations of the internship period, after the intern detectives crack the case, they need to tell the whole process of solving the case to several senior detectives in charge of the internship detectives. After the senior agent listens, he will ask questions and give points based on the performance of the trainee agent.


    This score determines which position the intern agent will take up in the investigation team after he becomes a full-time employee, such as a technical agent looking for information, a field agent going out to work, etc.


    "That is to say, luck is better than us, and we found the clues of the murderer before us."


    Jody, who was standing on Fisher but was beaten up by Roan, took a sip of the coffee handed over by his teammate, looked at Roan and Mona and said disdainfully:


    "I heard that they destroyed a headquarters car when they arrested people this time. I don''t know how the group supervisor will punish them later."


    "It must be deducting wages."


    The trainee detective wearing glasses sitting next to Jody smiled:


    "I went to ask about it. They destroyed the latest SUV of our criminal investigation department. Think about the rumors of the team leader Vernis"


    "You mean stingy"


    "Ahem."


    Having said that, the two looked at each other and became happy, waiting to watch the show.


    The group leader in the second population is named Vernis, who is the immediate boss of the heads of the investigation teams No. 1 to No. 5, and is also the woman who holds the funds for the operations of the five investigation teams.


    The female trainee detective Elena, who heard the whole conversation between the two, gave them a disdainful look.


    I am ashamed to say that others are lucky, Jody and his team are all wrong in finding the murderer! Even if it wasn''t Roan and the others who finally found the real culprit, it definitely wasn''t Jody and the others.


    Thinking of this, Elena cast her eyes on Roan at the front, her eyes gradually blurred, and she began to savor Roan''s handsome side face.


    "I''m coming."


    The door of the office was pushed open, and the intern detectives hurriedly stopped talking and began to sit upright, trying to impress the senior detectives who would listen to the case-solving process later.


    What these intern agents didn''t expect was that although the senior agent they were familiar with from the Mediterranean opened the door of the office, the first person to walk into the office was the team leader, Vernis!


    "What?"


    "Team leader?"


    "Why is she here?"


    Seeing Vernis, the team leader in a women''s suit, with short, dry hair and an expressionless face, the office of the intern agent suddenly buzzed.


    Behind Verinisi are the team leaders of the five investigation teams. Six of them are sitting at the front of the office. The senior Mediterranean detective who used to listen to the case has no place to sit and can only stand at the side of the office. .


    As one of the parties involved in solving the case, Mona was also a little puzzled. She didn''t understand how this was just a small homicide. How could it attract the attention of the team supervisor. After she couldn''t figure out the reason, she subconsciously looked at Luo An.


    ��.��


    Luo An actually didn��t understand why he attracted the attention of the chief��s chief, but he didn��t care, the soldiers came to cover him up, and he didn��t do anything illegal. So he got up decisively, with a smile on his face, and generously led Mona to the front of the office.


    Ignoring the black-faced No. 1 team leader Brosen, Roan motioned Mona to put the materials on the laptop in front of the team supervisor Vernis, coughed twice and laughed:


    "Good evening, sirs, I am Intern Detective Roan, and this is my teammate, Intern Detective Mona."


    After briefly introducing the deceased''s time and place of death and other relevant information, Roan began to explain all his case-solving processes after twelve o''clock today. First, determine the escape route of the murderer in the park, and then find out the bar that the deceased visited before his death according to the autopsy report, and learn from it the clues of the identity of the second person who followed the deceased. , After struggling desperately, he finally succeeded in catching the real culprit after exhausting all kinds of hardships.


    Mona: "."


    All the trainee detectives who heard this long experience were dumbfounded, and several investigation team leaders were also fascinated, including the No. 1 investigation team leader Brosen.


    Except for the team leader, Vernis.


    Seeing that Roan had finished describing today''s experience, Vernis opened the notebook in her hand expressionlessly, pondered for a few seconds and asked:


    "The murderer Conrad is a veteran. Why did he kill war reporter Mike Robert and New York University professor West Watts? What is the reason?"


    Hearing Vernis'' question, everyone who was immersed in Roan''s story just now came back to their senses.


    That''s right, Roan just caught the murderer, but he didn''t explain why the murderer did this, what was the reason, personal or old hatred?


    "Sorry, sir."


    Augus on the side hurriedly gave Roan a wink, and then explained:


    "Roan is a trainee detective, not qualified to interrogate the murderer Conrad, so he"


    "So Roan can''t answer your question, sir."


    No. 1 team leader Brosen accepted Augustus''s words with a smile.


    Augus'' face instantly became darker than the bottom of the pot.

 Chapter 11： the truth

    Chapter 11 The Truth


    In order for an intern agent to become a full-time agent, in addition to the appreciation and recommendation of the team leader, the most important thing is the signature of the team leader. Without the signature of the supervisor, even if he joins an investigation team, he can only get the salary of a trainee detective.


    This is a matter of principle.


    As far as Augustus is concerned, Roan''s performance today is remarkable.


    From 12:00 noon to 7:00 p.m., Roan and Mona managed to catch the murderer in just seven hours. Although this efficiency did not break the record of the New York branch''s case-solving time, it successfully broke the New York branch''s intern detective time. Time record for solving crimes.


    Therefore, in the eyes of Augustus, today''s inquiry is not a problem at all. As long as Roan''s statement is reasonable and there are no mistakes in principle, he can help Roan solve some other problems, and finally let Roan become a full-time member and join the five investigation team.


    But he didn''t expect Brosen to jump out.


    On the surface, this incident was aimed at Roan by Brosen, but in fact it was aimed at himself.


    Augus'' black face changed from matte black to matte black, his eyes were fixed on Bruno Sen, and his tone remained unchanged:


    "Roan is an intern agent, and Roan has already done what an intern agent should do. Does Team Leader Brosen think that an intern agent should be better than you?"


    Hearing this, Bruosen''s tone remained unchanged, and he still smiled and said:


    "No, I''m just helping you to say something, why are you so angry."


    Papa��


    The team leader Vernis picked up the pen and tapped on the table, turning a blind eye to the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two team leaders, looked up at Roan, and asked again with a blank expression:


    "So you don''t know the reason for the murder of Conrad, do you?"


    Augustus hastily gave Roan a wink, telling him to just nod. Again, Roan has done what an intern detective should do, and he didn''t make any mistakes in principle. The turnaround is a certainty. There is no need to talk too much.


    Talk more and make more mistakes, less talk about finding mistakes, it is applicable everywhere.


    "No, I know why the murderer committed the crime."


    Give Augustus a reassuring look, Roan reached out to Mona, and Mona immediately handed him a yellow notebook.


    "Please look, everyone, this is the reporter Mike''s note I got from the murderer Conrad. It records the important reasons why Conrad killed Mike and West."


    The smile on Brosen''s face slowly disappeared.


    Six months ago, the wife of New York University professor West Watts died in pain one night after suffering from cancer for more than three years.


    West sorted out his wife''s belongings with a heavy heart. In the process, he suddenly found a small half bottle of white medicine with no label, no name, and no brand imprint.


    West remembered that this bottle of medicine was the anti-cancer medicine his wife had to take every day in the ward for nearly a year. However, according to regulations, the name and label of the drug must be written on the tablet on the anti-cancer drug. In doubt, West called the hospital and asked which company produced the bottle of drug and what the effect of the drug was.


    As a result, the doctor on the other end of the phone asked three questions, and finally said that he had never prescribed the medicine in West''s hand, and then hung up the phone.


    West is completely angry now, his wife took white medicine for a whole year, and now you tell me that you never prescribed this medicine? Where did this medicine come from? Was my wife''s painful death related to this drug?


    With a stream of angry questions, West began to investigate the source of the white drug bottle.


    After a lot of hard work, West finally learned that this drug came from the "Morowe Pharmaceutical Company", and it was one of the anti-cancer drugs researched by this company. At present, this drug is still in the clinical testing and experimental stage, with high side effects and a high probability of causing death.


    Only using mice cannot quickly advance the test progress. In order to speed up the drug development and make the company go public soon, the person in charge of this company decisively chose to bribe the senior management of several hospitals and feed these drugs to cancer patients in the hospital. The response of these patients after taking the drug can speed up the speed of drug development.


    Naked biological experiment!


    Professor West''s wife was naturally one of these experimental subjects.


    Professor West, who learned the cause and effect, was knocked down by the truth and passed out for a day and a night. If it weren''t for a student who came to visit his home, he might have lived in the small box in a few days.


    After waking up in the hospital, West''s first thought was to expose the company''s ugly behavior and fully demonstrate what they did to the world!


    After many inquiries, West found the war reporter Mike, hoping that he could expose the whole thing.


    Mike agreed to West''s request, but there was nothing to prove it. The two needed more strong evidence, so they began to collect evidence by their own means.


    During the process of collecting evidence, Mike''s actions were a bit big, and he was discovered by a senior executive of the Morrowway drug company.


    In order not to expose this matter, and for the company to be successfully listed, the executive immediately contacted Conrad, a veteran, and bought Mike and West to disappear from this world for $500,000.


    "very good!"


    After listening to the truth behind this incident, the corners of Verniss mouth slightly raised, and after a brief comment to Roan, she stood up from her seat and said to Augustus on the side:


    "I''m going first, and I''ll leave the rest to you."


    After speaking, Vernis turned and left.


    "Goodbye, sir."


    Augus laughed loudly, grabbed the signature pen on the table and threw it aside casually, and just threw it on Bruno Sen''s head impartially.


    Without waiting for Brosen to get angry, Augustus hurriedly said:


    "Sorry, I got up too fast, my hands are shaking!"


    ��.��


    Glaring at Augustus, Brosen turned and left with a dark face.


    Until Brosen��s figure completely left the intern agent��s office, Augustus laughed and walked to the front of the office, looked Roan up and down, and praised:


    "You did a good job, boy, it looks a bit like me when I was young! Even my looks are similar to mine!"


    Mona: "."


    Everyone: "."


    Looking at Augustus''s big belly, thick lips and **** face, Roan didn''t know for a moment whether Augustus was praising him or scolding him.


    But it doesn''t matter.


    "Sir, I damaged a car in the course of a mission"


    As soon as Roan spoke, Augustus waved his hand:


    "It''s okay, it will be deducted from the funds of our No. 5 investigation team!"


    "Thank you sir!"


    "???"


    The eyes of trainee agent Jody and his teammates turned red instantly.


    "correct."


    Speaking of the problem of the car, Augustus suddenly remembered something, and said directly to the Mediterranean Sea beside him:


    "The case has been solved. You immediately arrest the high-level executives involved in the case of Moluowei Drug Company. You must not let them know the news and leave the United States early."


    "Okay, sir."


    Mediterranean nodded in agreement, then pointed to Jody and said:


    "Jodi, your team arrests people immediately, and don''t let the top management of that company run away!"

    Roan successfully turned into a full-time agent. The bonus for solving the case and the murderer''s reward totaled 55,000 US dollars, which will be paid together with Roan''s salary this weekend.


    If this news makes Jody and other male detectives jealous + unwilling, then another news makes Elena and other female detectives unable to hold back:


    Because of Roan''s strong request, the leader of No. 5 team Augustus also made Mona a full-time agent, and at the same time was transferred to No. 5 investigation team.


    And there''s Mona''s share of that $55,000.


    "Fu-k!"


    "bi-ch!"


    ��*****��


    "They both have two legs, what''s the difference between me and Mona?"


    Compared with men, the fight between women is more intense and terrifying.


    Roan had no way of knowing the mentality of Jody and other intern detectives. He and Mona chatted with Augustus in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team for a while, and finally got off work. After saying goodbye to Mona, he took a taxi and returned to his predecessor. Small apartment for rent in Queens.


    A kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a living room. Roan simply glanced around. The apartment was a bit messy. The clothes that needed to be changed were scattered all over the floor.


    Roan simply searched and found that the source of the smell was the unwashed stinky socks under the sofa.


    "Fortunately, I didn''t invite Mona to my home."


    Feeling that the predecessor was really informal, Roan opened the window to keep the air in the room flowing, and then began to search for important items related to the predecessor, but did not tidy up the room.


    The reason is very simple. Luo An didn''t plan to live in this apartment. Apart from the fact that the location of the apartment is too far away from the place of work, he has no car and needs to get up early to take the subway to work. Another important reason is that the apartment is only two days away. expired.


    Walking into the bedroom, Roan found an old-fashioned computer with a big butt. A very important thing for the predecessor: a passbook!


    Seeing the huge sum of five hundred dollars on it, Roan put it into his arms expressionlessly.


    How much money is meat, the old killer once warned Luo An:


    Don''t underestimate every penny, sometimes a life can''t be sold for a penny.


    After carefully checking the memories in his mind in the house and making sure there was nothing missing, Roan called the landlord and left the apartment.


    From now on, Roan Greenwood is Roan Greenwood.


    At the Nether Watson Hotel in Manhattan, Roan took a simple shower, didn''t call the waitress, and lay on the bed ready to go to bed.


    Traveling through the first day, I still feel a little uncomfortable, and I have been running around for a day, Roan is really not in the mood to play a two-player game.


    After a long time, Roan, who had fallen asleep, suddenly heard a "buzz" in his ear. Before he could react, a familiar light blue page appeared before his eyes again.


    ��.��


    Roan glanced at the time, it was twelve midnight.


    "The co-author refreshes the treasure chest at twelve o''clock every day, right?"


    Stretched, Roan yawned and began to check the system page.


    ��Yesterday''s performance evaluation: good��


    ��Number of treasure chests obtained: three��


    ��Do you want to open the treasure chest? ��


    ��.ON.��


    Seeing the word "good" in the evaluation, Luo An''s eyes lit up. Since there is good, it must be excellent.


    But after thinking about it, there should be pass and fail.


    ��The treasure chest has been opened��


    ��Physical potion x 1. Fireproof potion ��1. Night Vision Potion x 1. ��


    Seeing the three potions prescribed on the light blue system page, Roan thought of the hemostatic potion used for girls in suspenders during the day.


    The effect is immediate, and it can completely save one''s life at a critical moment.


    but


    Put down the pillow and lie down again, Roan closed his eyes and underestimated in a low voice:


    "Why do I feel that the effects of these medicines are more suitable for going on the road of killers?"


    At eight o''clock the next morning, Roan walked into the office area of ??the investigation team No. 5 on the 23rd floor of the Jacob Federal Building with a lot of breakfast.


    It has been said before that the 23rd-26th floors of the Jacobs Federal Office Building in Manhattan are the site of the FBI''s New York branch.


    These four floors are occupied by several major departments including the Homeland Security Division, Crime-Network-Response and Service Division, Science and Technology Division, Intelligence Division, Information and Technology Processing Division, and Human Resources Division of the FBI New York Branch.


    Crime-Network-Response and Service Division, including the Criminal Investigation Department, Major Matters Response Team, Cyber ??Department, International Business Department and Victim Services Department.


    Among them, the major event response team includes many familiar hostage rescue teams-HRT, special weapons and tactics team-SWAT, crisis/hostage negotiation team-CUN, behavioral analysis department-BAU, and finally the anti-improvised explosive device department .


    Of course, these departments have nothing to do with Luo An. The No. 5 investigation team he came to today belongs to the Criminal Investigation Department and is one of the thirteen investigation teams under the Criminal Investigation Department.


    Don''t ask why there are thirteen investigation teams, but New York''s own city situation here.


    The team leader, Vernis, is mainly in charge of matters related to investigation teams No. 1-5. As for No. 6 and onwards, other team leaders are in charge.


    These teams work on a wide range of crimes including mass killings, sniper murders, serial killings, gangs, crimes against children, human trafficking/involuntary slavery, bank robberies, jewelry and gemstone theft, international violent crimes They can all participate in the survey.


    "Good morning, Mr. Detective."


    Luo An walked into the gate of the No. 5 investigation team''s office area, and found that there was only one person in the room. The other party was a strong white man who was no less than 1.9 meters tall, with a cropped head and muscles that seemed to be able to explode a suit.


    Hearing someone talking to him, the strong white man looked away from the computer, turned his head and saw the outstandingly handsome Roan, and grinned:


    "It seems that you are the Roan that Augustus said!"


    "That''s right, it''s me."


    Roan handed the breakfast in his hand to the other party, and asked with a smile:


    "I don''t know what Augustus said about me?"


    The strong white man took the breakfast, and he was not polite, biting off more than half of it in one bite, and smiled vaguely:


    "Augus told us that Roan is not only as handsome as him, but also has a brain similar to him. But his skills are not as good as his. I hope we will let you, don''t bully you, and protect you more during the mission. Some."


    Roan: "."


    Seeing the stiff expression on Roan''s face, the strong white man said directly after eating breakfast in two or three bites:


    "Don''t worry, everyone in our No. 5 investigation team knows that you, Roan, solved the case in ten and eight hours yesterday. There will be no one who doesn''t have eyes to bully you."


    "No, I''m not afraid of being bullied."


    Roan shook his head and spread his hands:


    "I was just thinking, after August''s propaganda, what do I look like in the hearts of those who have never seen me but have seen Augustus?"


    Hearing this, the strong white man laughed, slapped Roan on the shoulder and said:


    "My name is Ledley Smith, and I am a senior agent of the No. 5 investigation team. You can call me Ryder from now on."


    After finishing speaking, Ryder took the bag containing the breakfast, took out three packs of breakfast again and began to eat.


    Roan: "."


    Ask for collection! Please recommend!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 13： Come out to hang out, talk about power, have a background

    Chapter 13 Come out to mix, talk about power, have a background


    "You bought too much, man."


    Ryder ate five packs of breakfast in one go, drank a sip of coffee, and then said to Roan who was cleaning the desk not far away:


    "Our No. 5 investigation team has just been established, August is the team leader, Lacey and I are the senior agents in charge of field operations, five office agents in charge of technical support, plus you and the new little girl , there are only ten people in total."


    Other investigation teams started with twenty people.


    "I also reported on the first day, and I don''t know that these things are normal."


    Wiping his own desk clean, Roan sat down on the chair, pointed to the empty office, and pointed to the clock at the front of the office, and asked doubtfully:


    "It''s already half past eight, why are there only two of us in the office?"


    "Because Augustus won''t come to work before nine o''clock, he won''t come, and we don''t need to come too early."


    It wasn''t Ryder who answered. The door of the office area was pushed open, and a white woman with a protruding front and back, long brown hair, and blurry eyes walked in, wearing a casual suit.


    Seeing the breakfast woman on the table, her eyes lit up, she picked up one and started eating, then closed her eyes and explained to Roan:


    "Thank you for the breakfast, Roan."


    Seeing the woman falling asleep on the table while eating, Roan was very surprised. Is this also a member of the No. 5 investigation team?


    Tilting his head to look at Ryder, Ryder shook his head, walked to Roan and explained in a low voice:


    "She is the senior agent Lacey I told you just now, a lesbian. Looking at the situation, she should have gone to a bar in Manhattan last night to hunt for sex."


    ��.��


    Roan was silent for a moment, tilted his head and asked:


    "The consumption of bars in Manhattan is not low, and the salary of a senior agent is just that little. Where does she get the money?"


    Roan only wants to make money, and other things have nothing to do with him.


    "Forehead."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Ryder was silent for a moment and said with a distorted expression:


    "Lacey never spends money when she goes out to play, it''s those women who pay her."


    Roan: "."


    It seems that you can try it yourself?


    The time slowly reached around 8:50, and people finally began to enter the office one after another.


    After receiving the breakfast, everyone''s favor towards Luo An is +10. Looking up and looking at Luo An''s ordinary handsome face, the favorability instantly +50.


    So much so that Augustus was very surprised when he brought Mona into the office area, because he found that everyone in the office was chatting very happily with Roan.


    Except for Lacey, she''s still sleeping.


    "It seems that everyone knows our No. 1 newcomer Roan."


    He slapped the table vigorously to wake up Lacey, Augustus stood at the front of the office, pointed to Mona on his right and said:


    "This is our No. 2 newcomer, official agent Mona. We will work together in the future."


    crackling��


    There was a burst of applause, and Augustus waved his hand to signal to everyone what to do, and then called Roan and Mona to the team leader''s office.


    "This is the official document for the two of you."


    Sitting behind the desk, Augustus threw two folders to the two, motioned for the other to sign his name, and then continued:


    "After the park murder case is solved, the bonus of the New York Journalists Association and the reward for the murderer will total 55,000 U.S. dollars, which will be distributed together with your salary this weekend. You two will discuss how to divide it."


    "Thank you, sir."


    Roan and Mona looked at each other, and both saw the joy in each other''s eyes.


    Seeing that Roan was not so happy when he heard the news that he had become a regular, Augustus pouted, took out another document from under the desk, and said:


    "Last night, during the process of entering Conrad''s identity information, it was accidentally discovered that he was also related to the murder of a state congressman a few years ago, and that state congressman was also killed by him."


    Luo An froze for a moment, then thought of something, with a surprised expression on his face.


    "I just said that your brain is as smart as mine, and it turns very fast."


    Augus chuckled, handed the document to Roan, and said:


    "Yes, there is also a reward for the murder of the congressman, which is a full half a million dollars."


    "Half a million dollars?"


    Hearing the news, Mona''s eyes turned into flashlights.


    But hearing such a large amount of reward, Roan calmed down instead, put the folder back on Augustus''s desk, and said to Augustus with a smile:


    "This is too much money."


    ��.��


    After hearing Roan''s words and seeing the calm smile on Roan''s face, the smile on Augustus'' face became wider and wider, and finally he slapped the table fiercely:


    "Fu-k! I like you more and more now! Roan!"


    "I believe in the officer, the officer will never treat me badly."


    Roan gave Augustus a small compliment.


    Seeing that Mona was still in a daze, Augustus picked up the document and explained slowly:


    "The murder of a state congressman is not our responsibility. Although we caught the murderer, the investigation team in charge of that case has also put in a lot of effort, especially the original team leader, who is now the director of the Washington headquarters."


    Roan nodded, Mona was silent, but she also nodded hesitantly after seeing Roan nodded.


    Seeing that both of them understood what they meant, Augustus was very satisfied and continued:


    "But after all, we caught the murderer, and there is still some hard work. The team leader Vernis thought twice and decided to allocate a special fund to our No. 5 investigation team starting next month, which will last for three months."


    Seeing that Mona looked a little nervous, Roan was still as calm as before. Augustus admired Roan more and more, and laughed:


    "The two of you are the main detectives who caught the murderer Conrad, and the bonus will be distributed at the end of this month, 30,000 US dollars each."


    The gap between 500,000 and 30,000 is a bit big, and Mona''s expression changed.


    Roan nodded very calmly, and laughed:


    "Thank you, sir, I knew he would not treat me badly."


    "Okay, you go out after the matter is finished."


    Augus waved his hand, signaling the two to leave the office, and then said seriously before Roan left the office:


    "Handle the case well, Roan, Vernis appreciates you very much, your future is better than mine."


    "Okay sir, thank you sir."


    The smile on Roan''s face was even better.


    Come out to hang out, you must have influence, and you must talk about your background.


    What if there is none?


    Of course it��s a thigh hug.


    The two sat back at their workstations. Mona thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped her hands, startling Lacey who was sleeping next to her.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Lacey opened her eyes in confusion, Mona hurriedly tidied up the uniform on Lacey, and comforted her in a low voice:


    "It''s okay, it''s okay, it''s just a bug, you go to sleep first."


    "OK."


    Lacey nodded, turned her face to one side, and closed her eyes again.


    Mona took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in her heart, slowly moved to Roan''s side, and said in a low voice:


    "Roan, let''s have dinner together tonight, I invite you."


    ��.��


    Seeing Roan looking at him in surprise, and then his eyes gradually became strange, Mona immediately crossed her hands on her chest, and said seriously:


    "NO, I just simply invite you to eat to express my gratitude. I am not feeling well these days, and it is not suitable."


    "Physical discomfort?"


    Roan nodded, then shook his head decisively:


    "That''s not going."


    Mona: "."


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection! Ask for collection!

 Chapter 14： outstanding

    Chapter 14 Outstanding People


    On the first day of joining the No. 5 investigation team, Luo An did nothing, just sat at the desk and brushed the computer for a day, and then got off work at the end of the day.


    At nine o''clock the next morning, Roan, who really had nothing to do, shook his head and saw Mona chatting on the Internet. Ryder was not in the office and he didn''t know where he was. Only Lacey just woke up and was eating. So Roan moved the chair to Lacey''s side and asked:


    "Lacey, is this what we''ve been doing all week?"


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Lacey just woke up and was still dazed. After hearing Roan''s question, she reacted for a while before she understood what he meant, so she tilted her head and replied:


    "Are you saying there''s no work this week? Of course not."


    Immediately after, Lacey turned around and muttered while eating:


    ��We haven��t worked for two months.��


    "What?"


    Roan was stunned by Lacey''s panting, and then hurriedly asked:


    "Why?"


    "Because our No. 5 investigation team has just been established, no one has handed over the case to us."


    Lacey finishes one bag of donuts and starts eating a second bag:


    "That''s not right. Three months ago, the New York Police Department did hand over several cases to our No. 5 investigation team, but we failed to solve the cases within the stipulated time, so the team leader, Vernis, withdrew the case and handed it over to us. Another investigation team."


    ��.��


    Roan fell silent, then raised his head and asked:


    "Have other investigation teams solved those cases?"


    Lacey nodded as a matter of course, and said:


    "It''s broken."


    Roan: "."


    Where the **** did I come to?


    Seeing the distorted expression on Roan''s face, Lacey patted him on the shoulder comfortingly and asked:


    "Why do you think Augustus transferred you to the No. 5 investigation team?"


    Roan already had the answer in his heart.


    "Not only because you are handsome, but also because you can solve crimes."


    Roan: I knew it!


    After finishing the second bag of donuts, Lacey began to unpack the third bag, and at the same time introduced the identities of the members of the No. 5 investigation team to Roan:


    "Ryder is from the swat action team. His marksmanship, fighting, search and rescue, and weapons are all top-notch, but he can''t solve the case."


    Roan: "."


    "I, Lacey, came from the intelligence service. I am very good at scouting and undercover tracking. But I can''t solve the case."


    Roan: "."


    "The technicians sitting behind you are all old people who have worked in the FBI data room for several years. Asking them to find relevant information on suspects is definitely faster than any investigation team."


    Roan''s face became more and more weird: "But they won''t solve the case."


    "Yeah."


    Lacey patted Roan''s shoulder with a serious expression:


    "So we need someone who can lead us to solve the case."


    Roan almost suffocated to death, took a deep breath before recovering:


    Thinking of the best, at least this team needs me, and I am an indispensable member of this team.


    But after thinking about it, Roan asked Lacey again:


    "What about the team leader Augustus? Do you know what he did before?"


    "of course I know."


    Lacey nodded and introduced:


    "Augus was previously an administrator in the Criminal Justice Department."


    Roan nodded and realized: "So Augustus can''t solve the case."


    "right."


    After hearing all this news, Roan rubbed his chin and asked, "If there is no accident, if a case is handed over to our investigation team in the future, I will lead you to solve the case, right?"


    Lacey pondered for two seconds, then nodded: "It should be."


    Roan then asked: "Since I lead you to solve the case, what''s the use of Augustus as the team leader? Wait for the case to be solved and then claim the credit?"


    "of course not."


    Hearing what Roan said, Lacey immediately widened her eyes and said to him seriously:


    "Augus is responsible for taking the blame, and dealing with his superiors to resist thunder!"


    "... Lacey, why were you transferred here."


    "Because I insulted the officer."


    "As expected of you."


    Backing to his workstation, Roan looked around and saw Mona clapping her hands on the computer, as if she was invading some program, so she couldn''t help but sighed: "Investigation Team No. 5 is truly outstanding."


    Papapa��


    Just when Roan was thinking about whether he should leave the No. 5 investigation team for a few days and go out to do some private work to make money, the team leader Augustus walked to the front of the office area with a big belly, and said loudly:


    "Attention everyone! This time, two cases have been handed over to our No. 5 investigation team! A missing and kidnapping case, and a serial murder case!"


    In 2005, the United States had not popularized the big screens of later generations, so there were several large whiteboards standing in the front of the office area. Augustus took a whiteboard and began to write the tentative names of the two cases on it.


    ��Missing and Kidnapping Case of Rich Woman����Serial Murder Case of Female Corpse in Lake��


    Ryder returned to the office area and distributed the information to everyone, among which Roan''s information is the most detailed.


    Roan: "."


    Since there is a case, I have to read it. According to the urgency of the case, Roan began to check the first missing and kidnapping case, and the bear-like Ryder also began to introduce it to everyone:


    "The victim''s name is Sabina Card, 36 years old, disappeared from her villa in Connecticut. The time of the incident was probably between when she came home last night and eight o''clock this morning. His husband Da When Lun came back from a business trip, he found that someone broke into his home and his wife was missing, but her mobile phone and wallet were still left in the entrance hall."


    Seeing that everyone had finished reading the information in their hands, Augustus tapped on the whiteboard to attract everyone''s attention, with a serious expression:


    "Until there is no further evidence, we have to speculate that she is still alive! The police at the Greenwich Police Station think this is a kidnapping, but this kind of thing is not very common on their side, so they chose to seek our help."


    Greenwich Village, located on the Long Island Strait, is a satellite town of New York City and one of the most upscale areas near New York State, with a very high standard of living. Many celebrities, artists, and musicians have been born here.


    Without waiting for everyone to ask their own questions, August took out a few more crime scene photos from a folder and pasted them on another whiteboard, saying at the same time:


    "Serial murder is the unlawful killing of two or more victims in separate incidents by a criminal or criminals. At five o''clock this morning, a wild angler was in a lake on the border of New York and New Jersey, A female corpse was accidentally discovered, and the divers found three other female corpses after checking the bottom of the lake.


    The first victim, Linda Chipo, married, 28 years old, was reported missing by her husband eight months ago, and was killed shortly after the forensic examination proved that she disappeared.


    The second victim, Beatrice Leon, married, thirty-four years old, disappeared two months ago.


    The third victim, Natalie Carlyle, married, twenty-five years old, disappeared a month ago


    The fourth victim, Tamara Terry, married, thirty, disappeared two weeks ago."


    Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 15： new case

    Chapter 15 New Case


    After introducing the general situation of the two cases, Augustus patted the whiteboard beside him with a serious expression:


    "The serial murder case spans too long and it is not easy to solve the case, so we put it behind. The kidnapping of the rich woman happened this morning. The 24 hours of missing is the golden time to rescue the kidnapped. We must find her and rescue her today. she."


    According to the general procedure, the next step is for the team leader to assign investigation tasks to everyone, and then Augustus looked at Roan and asked in a deep voice:


    "Roan, what do you think?"


    ��.��


    A little speechless, but remembering that after such rich kidnapped people are rescued, they usually give a large amount of money to the agents who rescued them. Roan did not hesitate, pointing to the identity information in the folder and said:


    "The kidnapped Sabina Card is a young rich woman. After the death of her parents, she inherited a total of 30 million US dollars in assets. This money is enough to make people think badly. If one of the husband and wife has an accident, the other will never escape. Therefore, I suggest going to the scene of the crime immediately, not only to monitor the scene for traces, but also to question her husband Darren carefully."


    "OK."


    Augus nodded and was very satisfied with Roan''s analysis, so he arranged tasks for everyone and said:


    "Roan, Lacey, you two go to the scene of the crime now. Mona, you are in charge of checking the work status of Sabina Carder''s husband Darren on the computer. Everyone else, wait in the office for Roan''s information inspection at any time .��


    Speaking of this, Augustus glanced at Ryder who was waiting for the order, and said in a low voice after a moment of silence:


    "Ryder, go and contact the New Jersey police of the serial murder case, ask for more information, and act as if you are solving the case."


    "Okay, sir."


    Roan: "."


    What does pretending mean?


    Everyone started to get busy. Roan was about to leave for the crime scene with Lacey when Augustus suddenly called him to the office. After the two sat down, Augustus said:


    "Roan, this kidnapping case is very important to you."


    Luo An nodded, the rich woman is very rich, and I will definitely get a lot of thanks for rescuing her, which is really important.


    Augustus continued: "You are the first of this batch of trainee agents to become a full-time agent. There are many people who are jealous of you, but they can''t say it because you just took Mona and caught the gunner before." murderer."


    Roan raised his head and understood what Augustus said.


    "The No. 1 team leader Brosen went to the Washington headquarters to attend the training meeting. He has been working as the investigation team leader for so many years, and he is likely to be promoted this time. Although he will not become my direct superior, other The superiors of the department are also superiors."


    Augustus took a sip of coffee and continued:


    "The Fisher you beat the day before yesterday is Brosen''s nephew, and he is very upset seeing you now."


    Hearing this, Roan immediately asked his thigh to protect himself:


    "Sir, you have to help me!"


    "certainly."


    Augus nodded and said with a smile: "Don''t worry, Bruosen will definitely not directly attack you, Vernis is still there."


    Roan understood what Augustus said.


    Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, directly attacking other people''s subordinates, this is not spanking the bottom of the subordinates, this is spanking the face of the superior!


    It''s just a nephew, it''s not worth paying such a big price.


    Thinking of this, Roan obviously relaxed, and Augustus continued:


    "So in this kidnapping case, you must do your best. It is best if you can solve the case. If you really can''t solve the case, you must not have any irregularities in the procedures during the handling of the case, and you must not leave some people talking."


    Roan nodded, indicating that he understood.


    "very good."


    Augus likes a smart person like Roan very much. Before Roan leaves the office, he finally exhorts:


    "If you determine that you can''t catch the real culprit during the case handling process, contact me immediately, and I will transfer Ryder to take over your case, understand?"


    "Okay, thank you sir."


    Roan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Ryder, a big bastard, was asked to deal with the serial murder case. It turned out to be a back-up preparation!


    Thinking of this, Roan saw some changes in the eyes of Augustus. As expected of the administrative staff of the Criminal Justice Department, there are indeed many routines and methods.


    Picked up the Nokia in the office and called Mona to make sure that there was no problem with the remote contact method. Roan and Lacey nodded and went to the equipment warehouse together.


    Like Mona, Lacey took a body armor and a Glock 19 and looked at Roan in a daze:


    Battle uniform, tactical helmet, plate carrying vest, three smoke bombs, ten shock bombs, two assault pistols Glock 18, five pistols with extended magazines.


    "Roan."


    The corner of Lacey''s mouth twitched, she said in disbelief: "We''re just investigating a kidnapping case, not going to the battlefield."


    Roan nodded: "Of course not on the battlefield. If I were to go to the battlefield, would I only take a pistol instead of a rifle?"


    ��.��


    "OK, let''s go."


    After finishing the equipment, Roan shook his legs and strode away from the equipment warehouse: "New York is not a safe city, and I have always felt insecure."


    Lacey: "."


    ��


    In a villa in Greenwich District.


    Seeing Roan in full armor, the Greenwich District police in the villa who were in charge of protecting the scene were a little dazed, but under the urging of Lacey, they quickly recovered and led the two into the crime scene.


    "The door to the kitchen was forcibly pried open, and the door frame was severely damaged."


    A middle-aged bald white policeman walked into the kitchen, pointed to the ground and introduced to Roan and Lacey:


    "There was a pool of blood at the door, but there was not much blood, and it didn''t look like it would cause death."


    Roan bent down and squatted on the kitchen floor, looked at the pool of blood on the ground that was two palms wide, then turned his head to look at the dining table beside him, and found an inconspicuous rubbing mark on the foot of the table, stood up and looked at Lacey. and the police said:


    "The victim should have been hit on the head from behind and fainted on the spot. While the murderer was transferring the victim, the victim''s shoe accidentally scratched the dining table."


    police:"."


    Can you see so many things at a glance?


    Lacey glanced down at the foot of the dining table, but said nothing. Seeing this, Roan tilted his head and asked the policeman:


    "The owner of this house is so rich, didn''t they install a monitoring or defense system?"


    The bald policeman shrugged, with a hint of envy in his tone:


    "They just bought this house in Greenwich this week for their wedding anniversary and honeymoon, so they haven''t had time to install those things yet. According to their friends, the couple''s relationship is quite good. Although No kids, but spend their anniversary honeymoon somewhere in the world every year."


    Hearing this, Roan was silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice:


    "Mr. Police, may I ask, how much does this villa cost?"


    The bald policeman glanced at Roan, saw the same envious look in his eyes, shrugged and said in a low voice:


    "The villa next to it is listed for eight million dollars."


    "fu-k!"


    Roan cursed in a low voice, and his evaluation of the price of the kidnapped was two points higher in his heart.


    "I must get more thank you money later."


    Heard the door of the villa not far away was opened, and a car drove in. Roan and Lacey walked over, ready to question the missing man''s husband, Darren.


    In the study room of the villa, both parties sat down.


    "Please briefly describe today''s situation, Mr. Darren."


    Lacey took out a small notebook and prepared to record, while Roan sat aside and carefully observed Darren''s performance when he spoke.


    Darren is a middle-aged Caucasian man who is neatly dressed, has a solid appearance, but is also high-spirited. Hearing what Lacey said, he immediately said:


    "I came back around six o''clock this morning. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Sabina''s shoes and handbag in the entrance. She would never leave her handbag at the door. I felt something was wrong at the time. When I walked into the restaurant and saw that Blood was spilled, and the police were called immediately."


    "OK."


    Lacey simply wrote in the notebook, then raised her head and continued to ask:


    "The police said that you were not at home last night, but went on a business trip. Where were you on business trip and which hotel did you stay in?"


    "What do you mean?"


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Darren''s face darkened instantly:


    "You think I did this?"


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection! Ask for collection!

 Chapter 16： prenuptial agreement

    Chapter 16 Prenuptial Agreements


    "This is a normal inquiry, OK?"


    Before Lacey could speak, Roan took out the Glock 18 and put it on the desk, smiling:


    "We have no doubts about you, Mr. Darren. But according to procedure, we must ask these questions to remove suspicion from you."


    Seeing Roan''s gun, Darren frowned and was about to get angry, but seeing the smile on Roan''s face, he barely suppressed it, and said in an unhappy tone:


    "I checked a real estate in Los Angeles yesterday and stayed at the Hilton Hotel tonight."


    "OK."


    Lacey wrote and drew in the notes, asked a few simple questions, and then asked with a serious face:


    "Mr. Darren, may I ask if your husband and wife have offended anyone recently? Did you find any strange people when you bought this villa?"


    "no."


    Darren waved his hands again and again, and his tone was very angry: "There was nothing wrong when we bought this villa, and our husband and wife have always treated people gently, and the company''s affairs are handled according to the regulations, and we have never offended anyone at all."


    ".All right."


    Lacey simply wrote down these things, turned to look at Roan, and Roan immediately said:


    "Mr. Darren, in view of the financial situation of your husband and wife, we judge that the other party kidnapped Ms. Sabina for ransom, so if there is no accident, the other party will call you soon to ask for the ransom."


    "OK."


    Hearing what Roan said, Darren breathed a sigh of relief, waved his big hand and said directly:


    "It doesn''t matter, as long as Sabina can come back, she can have as much money as she wants, I don''t care!"


    Roan ignored the other party''s low-key pretending, and continued:


    "But for Sabina''s personal safety, we will send an agent to follow you to protect your safety and monitor your mobile phone, so as to try to locate the kidnapper''s location through the phone."


    "No, you can''t do that."


    Hearing this, Darren stood up suddenly, and said in a very unhappy tone:


    "Since the other party is only asking for money, then just give them the money! What if the other party finds out about your existence and just tears up the ticket? I can''t bet on Sabina''s life!"


    "you"


    As soon as Lacey heard this, she subconsciously wanted to refute the other party, but Roan grabbed her arm and turned to look at Roan. Roan got up and asked seriously:


    "Mr. Darren, are you sure you don''t need us to protect your personal safety?"


    "unnecessary!"


    Darren replied coldly, but for some reason his tone softened suddenly, and he continued:


    "I just want my wife to come back safely. If the other party asks for money, I will give it to them. We are not short of money! It''s just a simple transaction, and I can do it myself. You FBI just need to catch the kidnappers."


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, did not continue to say anything, pulled Lacey who hadn''t reacted yet, and left the study of the villa.


    The two walked out of the villa. Lacey checked the surroundings to make sure that no one could hear her, and asked in confusion:


    "Luo An, the other party is very uncooperative, so there is a lot of suspicion!"


    "Yes, it may be his hands."


    Roan nodded, turned on the Nokia and asked Mona on the other end of the phone:


    "Mona, have you checked Darren''s recent financial situation or consumption bills?"


    "Of course, you have to trust my strength, Mona."


    Mona''s crisp voice came from the other end of the phone, laughing:


    "Darren did have a plane ticket to Los Angeles yesterday, and it was still first class, but there were no check-in records for him in several local Hilton hotels. So I checked Darren''s previous bills again, and found that he often went to In Las Vegas, the gambling city, basically all accounts were withdrawn but not received, and a simple estimate shows that he has probably lost nearly two million dollars."


    Roan nodded and continued to ask:


    "When Darren and Sabina got married, did they sign any prenuptial agreement?"


    "Eh, wait for me for a few minutes."


    Crackling keyboard sounds came from the other end of the phone. It took a long time before Mona''s voice came over, and she said excitedly:


    "There is a copy! It is recorded in a well-known law firm in New York. It contains several pages of regulations. One of them is that if Darren divorces on his own initiative, then he must leave the house, and if Sabina dies, Darren Only $300,000 will be given away, and the money Sabina inherited from her parents will be donated.��


    ��.I don��t understand the thinking of rich people.��


    Roan shook his head, tilted his head and said to Lacey:


    "Darren''s money mainly comes from his and Sabina''s company. He spent a lot of money on gambling, and there is a high probability that the chain of funds in his hand has been broken. And he can''t tell Sabina about this, so in order to get A lot of money, and kidnapping one''s wife for ransom is obviously a good idea.


    According to the prenuptial agreement, Darren could only get $300,000 after Sabina died. This amount of money prevented Darren from killing his wife for money, because it was not worth it. "


    Lacey also came to her senses, and then analyzed Roan''s words: "So Sabina should be safe now, because Darren won''t get any money if she dies. Darren is just asking for money."


    "Exactly."


    Roan nodded, this direction can be tried, so he raised the Nokia and looked at the car in front of him and asked:


    "Mona, the cars in this villa are all the latest Cadillacs, the license plate numbers are ***, ***, can you locate them?"


    "certainly!"


    Several crackling keyboard sounds sounded, and Mona quickly said with a smile:


    "Done! I know where they are now!"


    "OK, thank you, Mona."


    Hanging up the phone, Roan turned to look at Lacey and laughed:


    "You said before that you came from the intelligence service, and your tracking skills are very high. Darren will leave it to you, and you will go wherever he goes."


    "Easy!"


    Lacey smiled, gave Roan a trusting gesture, turned around and walked into the villa.


    Two-pronged approach to ensure that Darren''s next actions will never leave his control, Roan nodded in satisfaction, and was about to return to the car to wait for Darren''s next move when the Nokia suddenly rang.


    Take out the mobile phone and find that it was Ryder who called him. Roan was a little puzzled but still connected to the mobile phone.


    "Roan, I need your help."


    Ryder on the other end of the phone didn''t talk nonsense, and said directly:


    "I''ve gone through all the files of the serial murder case, but I didn''t find any clues. I just heard in the office that you have solved the kidnapping case. If that''s the case, how about you analyze the files of the serial murder case?"


    "Forehead."


    Roan picked up the Nokia and looked at it, hesitantly said:


    "I haven''t solved the kidnapping case, the murderer of the kidnapping case has not been caught, and I can''t go back to the office yet"


    "You don''t need to come back."


    Ryder��s voice on the other end of the phone changed, and an SUV that was the same as Roan��s seat slowly stopped on the road not far away. Ryder got out of the car with his phone in his hand, grinning loudly:


    "I have come to you with the documents."


    Roan: "."

 Chapter 17： Its ok, I have a stun bomb

    Chapter 17 It''s okay, I have a shock bomb


    On a road outside Greenwich.


    Sitting in Ryder''s SUV, Roan looked at the documents in his hand, frowning.


    According to the report of the emergency response team at the scene where the bodies were found, all three female victims were buried at the bottom of the lake with heavy objects tied to their legs.


    There were no items related to the identity information of the victims at the scene. Finally, the identities of the four victims were determined by consulting the local missing persons files.


    In addition, the autopsy report showed that the four victims were all strangled to death with a rope. There were signs of binding on the wrists and ankles, bruises on the upper body, and lacerations on the lower body. It is suspected that the four victims were tortured by the murderer for a long time.


    But because the corpse had been soaked in the lake water for too long, the forensic doctor could not find the murderer''s white genetic material, nor could he find the murderer''s skin debris, hair strands, etc., and could not test the murderer''s DNA.


    "What a headache."


    After reading the information, Luo An closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.


    The land area of ??the United States is vast, and the people are outstanding. Not only is it rich in various cult organizations, but it is also rich in serial murderers, bank robbers, flour sellers, and extreme thinkers.


    "Thank you, Roan."


    Seeing Roan sitting in the car frowning, Ryder hurriedly took out a few bags of still warm hamburgers and fried chicken from the trunk, handed them to Roan, and said with a flattering smile:


    "If you can''t figure it out, eat something first."


    "Not yet."


    The corner of Roan''s mouth twitched, and he rejected the suggestion that he might be more likely to go bald. After packing up the information, he said to Ryder:


    "The hunting time for the murderer of this serial murder is getting shorter and shorter. If we want to find the real murderer, we must find the connection between the four female victims.


    I can��t get away from here, you go back to the office immediately to find a technical detective, visit the families of the four victims, ask when the victims last contacted them before they disappeared, and at the same time find out the parents and relatives of the victims, Criminal records of friends, husbands, etc. "


    "What?"


    Hearing these complicated tasks, Ryder''s head grew big, and he subconsciously grabbed a hamburger and stuffed it into Roan''s hands:


    "Can you change me to another job? Or how can someone else do this kind of job? Can Mona do it?"


    Roan shook his head decisively and refused:


    "No, Mona still needs to help me investigate this disappearance case."


    ".All right."


    Seeing that Roan refused to let go, Ryder thought that before he came, the investigation team leader Augustus repeatedly emphasized that he must obey Roan''s arrangement, and immediately walked back to the car with a sad face, preparing to go back to the headquarters to pull people to investigate.


    Back in his SUV, Roan watched as Ryder drove away. He didn''t expect Ryder, a bear-like man, to be a bit cute in contrast.


    Just as he was thinking about the clues of the serial murder case, the Nokia next to Roan suddenly rang. When he answered the phone, he found that Lacey was on the other end.


    "Roan, Darren is on the move."


    "Um?"


    Roan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Which car is he driving? What''s the license plate number?"


    "He didn''t drive the Cadillac in the garage, he drove the latest BMW** with the license plate ***"


    Lacey''s tone on the other end of the phone was very relaxed:


    "Don''t worry, I''m following the other party. The anti-tracking technology of the other party is the same as that of children in kindergarten. I won''t lose track with my eyes closed."


    ��.��


    Roan was silent for two seconds, and asked suspiciously, "My car is on the outskirts of Greenwich. Where did you get the car to follow Darren?"


    "Well, I borrowed it from Darren''s neighbor''s garage."


    "Didn''t tell the neighbors, did you?"


    "certainly."


    Roan hung up the phone. Now he finally knew why Lacey said Augustus was taking the blame.


    "It feels like someone is standing on top."


    Roan smiled, called Mona and told Darren the license plate number of that BMW, asked Mona to locate her, and then kicked the accelerator and rushed out.


    Ten minutes later, the SUV driven by Roan stopped in a coastline parking lot in eastern New York.


    At the oblique rear of the SUV is the Jaguar that Lacey borrowed from the neighbor of the villa, and at the oblique rear of the Jaguar is Darren''s new BMW.


    Listening to the beating of the sea not far away, and looking at the almost empty parking lot, Roan said to Lacey on the other end of the phone:


    "This place is very suitable for paying ransom, and it is also very suitable for driving away when you find something is wrong."


    Lacey looked at the restless Darren in the BMW through the rearview mirror, and asked on the phone:


    "What should we do if the other party runs away?"


    "It''s okay, I have a stun bomb."


    Roan took out a shock bomb from his waist and threw it up and down in his hand, laughing:


    "I''ve always been good at throwing things."


    Thinking of the scene where the windows of a large number of cars in the parking lot were shattered after the shock bomb exploded, Lacey shuddered.


    I didn''t expect Roan to be more ruthless than himself. If the windows in the parking lot are broken, how much will Augustus pay?


    Didi��


    Just when Lacey was about to persuade Roan not to use stun bombs, an ordinary Buick car drove in and slowly stopped beside Darren''s BMW.


    Immediately afterwards, Darren got off the BMW, opened the Buick''s co-pilot, and sat on it.


    "Action!"


    Roan yelled, Lacey drove the Jaguar in reverse gear and instantly blocked the BMW and Buick, and Roan drove the SUV to quickly block the back road of the two cars.


    The two got out of the car and hid behind the car. They pointed their guns at the Buick. Roan shouted:


    "FBI! Get out of the car! Or I''ll shoot you!"


    After two seconds of silence, Darren, the co-pilot, slowly got out of the car with his hands raised, the driver''s door slowly opened, and a very thin white young man raised his hands and got out of the car.


    Roan and Lacey approached slowly with pistols in hand, took out handcuffs and handcuffed them, but did not find the imaginary ransom money in the two cars.

    Investigation Team No. 5, interrogation room.


    The FBI is different from the police stations outside. Whether it is the Department of Homeland Security, the Intelligence Department, or the Crime-Network-Response and Service Department, or even the Science and Technology Department, Information and Technology Processing Department, they all have their own interrogation rooms.


    The Criminal Investigation Department under the Crime-Network-Response and Service Department is no exception. There are thirteen investigation teams under the Criminal Investigation Department, and each investigation team is equipped with two interrogation rooms.


    The interrogation room here is not like the interrogation room in the police station outside. There is an extremely clear law enforcement recorder that cannot be turned off throughout the entire process. Prisoners can not say a word when they are handcuffed, and they can even ask a lawyer to speak for themselves.


    FBI��s interrogation room also has body-worn cameras, but the body-worn cameras here are seriously damaged due to aging and often shut off automatically. Oftentimes, when prisoners don��t answer the agents�� questions, the body-worn cameras start to fall ill.


    After some prisoners are caught, they say that their lawyers are not available and cannot answer questions. Then such prisoners will be found out on the spot for tax evasion, shooting federal agents and other serious illegal and criminal acts, and will be deprived of the right to see lawyers on the spot.


    Some prisoners even dreamed that they were beaten severely.


    Waiting for this kind of prisoner''s lawyer to be present, there will definitely be no medical examination. After all, the technology has matured through iterative development.


    Want to see the interrogation transcript? Sorry, the damage to the instrument was not recorded.


    Someone asked, is there no one who can manage this group of FBI?


    Of course there is, but will people who can manage the FBI be invited to the FBI interrogation room?


    If you can hire criminals who are super lawyers that the FBI doesn''t want to meet, will they still be caught by the FBI?


    The most important point is that the time is now in 2005, and those messy organizations in later generations have not yet appeared.


    Ask for collection!

 Chapter 18： Boy friend

    Chapter 18 Boyfriend


    In the interrogation room with two lamps hanging, the high-spirited Darren has disappeared, and his face is full of uneasiness at this moment.


    "Good afternoon, Mr. Darren."


    Roan and Lacey pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked in, and sat across from the handcuffed Darren. Before they could speak, Darren hurriedly said:


    "Two gentlemen detectives, no, there is also a young lady detective, believe me, Sabina''s disappearance really has nothing to do with me, I really don''t know anything!"


    Luo An raised his eyebrows and continued to ask without changing his expression:


    "Then what''s the matter with this thin Mr. Quinnell? Your wife is missing, you don''t let us protect you, you tell us that you just want to pay the ransom, but you turn around and see this Mr. Quinnill, Did he kidnap your wife?"


    "No! No! No! He can''t do that!"


    Darren shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, while Roan continued to ask:


    "You said that you were on a business trip in Los Angeles at the time of the crime, and that you stayed at the Hilton Hotel at night, but we did not find your check-in record in the Hilton Hotel. Where did you go? Back to New York to kidnap your own wife ?��


    "I"


    Darren''s face became more and more ugly. Seeing that Roan and An were staring at him quietly, after a long silence, Darren finally sighed and said in a low voice:


    "It''s true that I wasn''t in Los Angeles last night, but I went to Las Vegas. Quinnier worked in the casino. After he got off work, I went to his house and played with him all night in the same room, which is what you think How to play."


    Roan: "."


    I didn''t think about it, I didn''t know, I didn''t understand, don''t talk nonsense.


    After a moment of silence, Roan coughed lightly and asked seriously:


    "Darren, do you know what it means to lie to us?"


    "I know, a federal felony."


    Hearing Darren''s words, Roan nodded without changing his expression. But he just learned about it from Lacey just now��it is a felony to lie to FBI agents!


    I don��t know who made the law.


    Luo An''s heart is dark, and he will have some fun in the future.


    Seeing Roan''s serious face, Darren became more and more panicked, and hurriedly explained:


    "But I have no other choice. The matter between me and Kunel is disgraceful after all."


    "It''s not the relationship between you and Kunel that''s dishonorable."


    Hearing what Darren said, the **** person Lacey on the side was upset, and she slapped the table directly:


    "The disgraceful thing is that you already have a wife, Sabina. You call it cheating and betrayal, you know?"


    "I love Sabina!"


    Hearing Lacey say that she cheated and betrayed, Darren was not happy anymore. He also slapped the table and yelled at Lacey:


    "Believe it or not, I love Sabina! Love her so much! I even think I''m the one who got kidnapped!"


    Roan felt that the topic was off topic, so he hurriedly stopped Lacey and brought the topic back:


    "Then why are you looking for Kunel today? Do you suspect that he kidnapped your wife?"


    "No, I just wanted to make it clear to him."


    Darren covered his head and said helplessly:


    "Kunnell has his own boyfriend, we are just playing around. The reason why I went to Kunnell today is to make things clear and to cut off contact with him.


    I think Sabina��s kidnapping is God��s punishment for me, after all, she loves me so much, and I love her so much, we have a wedding anniversary honeymoon every year��


    Roan: "."


    That is, the visual sense is too strong.


    But after thinking about it, this kind of situation is not a big deal in the United States, isn''t there an even more outrageous "open marriage".


    Tilting his head and looking at Lacey, he didn''t quite understand what was going on with the same-sex relationship. After being glared at by Lacey, Roan hurriedly turned to Darren and finally asked:


    "OK, Mr. Darren, is there anything you haven''t explained in the end? If we leave this interrogation room and find that you still have something to hide, then"


    "No more, Mr. Agent."


    Darren wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and begged Roan with a serious face:


    "I don''t know if you believe me or not, but I really love Sabina, I really love my wife, please find her! I... I can give you a million rewards afterwards!"


    Roan''s eyes lit up, and he grabbed Darren''s hands as soon as he got up, and promised with justice on his face:


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Darren, I believe in your love, and I will definitely try my best to find your wife!"


    Lacey: "."


    A few minutes later, another interrogation room.


    He is thin and frail, about 1.7 meters tall, but Kunel, who has profound facial features, heard Roan''s question and said disdainfully:


    "Stop making trouble, Mr. Detective, I have no idea who Darren''s wife is, let alone kidnap her."


    "Why didn''t you kidnap her?"


    Roan looked serious: "Darren''s wife, Sabina, is a rich woman. We checked your financial conditions, and they are very average. As long as you kidnap Sabina and ask for a ransom, you will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life."


    "Come on, although I don''t have much savings, but some men are willing to spend money for me."


    Kunel waved his hands, raised his legs, and laughed:


    "I''m famous in Las Vegas, a lot of men who are looking for thrills will contact me, and my skills are very good, just one time will make them unforgettable. I know rich men like Darren More than a dozen, do you think I will be short of money?"


    ��.��


    Roan was silent, opened his mouth and didn''t know what to say, but Lacey on the side continued to ask:


    "Darren said you have a boyfriend, will he be jealous of Darren because of you, and instead kidnap Darren''s wife?"


    "My boyfriend?"


    Kunel was taken aback for a moment, then almost died of laughter, explaining while laughing:


    "Darren may have misunderstood me. My boyfriend he said was actually just my previous client. I just said that once, I will let men remember me forever!"


    Roan: "."


    Leaving the interrogation room, Roan sat on a chair in the conference room with his eyes closed.


    The local conditions and customs of the United States have too much impact on me, so I need to slow down first.


    "I checked."


    Mona walked up to Roan and Lacey with a laptop, and said with a smile:


    "The surveillance at the door of Kunnell''s house showed that Darren and Kunnell did not come out all night. As for the boyfriend of Kunnell that Darren said was a young actor, he was filming at sea at the time of the crime, and everyone at the scene could tell him Testify, there is no time to commit crimes."


    "Fine."


    Roan scratched his head. The clues on her husband Darren''s side were temporarily broken, so he could only focus on the missing person himself.


    "Could it be a competitor of Sabina''s company?"


    Lacey pulled Mona to her side, put her arms around her shoulders and tilted her head to ask Roan:


    "Should we check the business situation of Sabina''s company and see if their company''s recent business has provoked some people?"


    Mona: "."


    Speak as you speak, what are you doing with your arms around me?


    "It''s not impossible."


    Roan nodded, turned to Mona and said:


    "Go and investigate the companies under Sabina and Darren, and take a brief look at their operations."


    Lacey raised her hand: "What about us?"


    "Let''s look through Sabina''s villa, maybe there are still some things in that villa that we haven''t discovered."


    Roan stood up from the chair and stretched his waist vigorously: "The good news is that we have not wasted our efforts, and we have temporarily ruled out Darren''s suspicion."

 Chapter 19： Medical center

    Chapter 19 Medical Center


    In the villa in Greenwich, Roan and Darren were sitting in the study, while Lacey and another female detective went to the husband and wife''s room, ready to conduct a simple search.


    "Mr. Darren."


    Roan took a sip of coffee, pointed to the clock by the conference table, and said:


    "Your wife disappeared around six o''clock in the morning. It''s already two o''clock in the afternoon, and eight hours have passed, but the kidnappers haven''t called for ransom for a long time. Are you sure that you and your wife have not offended someone in business? who?"


    "Certainly not. I really don''t know, Mr. Agent"


    Darren sat on the sofa looking very ugly. He didn''t know if it was because his wife was missing or he was worried that he would not get much money after his wife died. After hearing Roan''s question, he immediately explained:


    "Sabina handles most of the company''s affairs, and I am generally responsible for contacting those partners and maintaining relationships."


    "All right."


    Roan nodded. This can be regarded as a different kind of heroine inside and outside. Just as he was about to continue asking, Darren seemed to think of something suddenly. He slapped his thigh and said:


    "By the way, Mr. Detective, Sabina often goes to a women''s medical care center to maintain her body. Last night, when we called last night, Sabina said that she had visited a medical center during the day, but she didn''t know."


    Before Darren finished speaking, Lacey walked into the study with a pink membership card, handed it to Roan and said:


    "I found the VIP card of the medical center."


    "OK."


    Roan took the card and nodded, and warned Darren not to leave the villa for the time being. Two agents outside the villa were in charge of monitoring and protecting him, and then walked back to the SUV with Lacey.


    The pitch-black car was speeding on the road. Lacey took the pink membership card and looked at it carefully. Seeing this, Roan was a little puzzled:


    "What''s the matter, Lacey, is there something wrong with the membership card?"


    "There is nothing wrong with the loyalty card, but the address on the loyalty card is wrong."


    Lacey rubbed the membership card with her fingernails, with a half-smile on her face, she turned her head and said to Roan:


    "The address on this membership card is the Lower East Side of New York. I am familiar with that area. I remember that there doesn''t seem to be any medical center there."


    "Um?"


    Roan realized instantly: "You mean Sabina lied to Darren?"


    "Who knows?"


    Lacey took out her pistol and began to organize the clips, threw the membership card aside, and said calmly:


    "This couple is not as simple as imagined."


    Luo An drove the SUV to the opposite side of the road from the location recorded on the membership card. When he turned around, he found a high-end coffee shop opposite.


    Turning her head to look at Lacey, she saw Lacey smiling slightly, holding the membership card between two fingers, her tone suddenly full of provocation:


    "Come on, little boy, today I will show you the big world."


    ��.��


    Lacie is 32 years old this year, and Roanne is only 25 years old. In a way, they are indeed young boys.


    The two got out of the car, and Roan followed Lacey across the road into the cafe.


    The coffee shop is not big, it is more than two o''clock in the afternoon, Roan glanced around and only saw a few men and women drinking afternoon tea, but before he could ask any questions, Lacey grabbed Roan''s arm and half pulled him in. The back kitchen of the cafe.


    "Don''t talk, leave it to me."


    Lacey pulled Roan down and whispered something in his ear, and the two continued to walk forward, and then a burly black man sitting in front of a thick curtain suddenly appeared on the way to the back kitchen.


    Seeing Roan and Lacey, the burly black man got up and wanted to ask something, but when he saw the pink membership card in Lacey''s hands, he nodded and sat back down again.


    The thick curtain was lifted, and there was a downward staircase inside. When the two walked to the end of the stairs, they found a door with shining lights. When they opened the door, provocative and seductive music broke into their ears.


    Roan glanced around. Under the shining colored lights, couples of men and women in the hall were sitting on the sofa discussing how to use the toys. After chatting happily, they went to the rooms on both sides of the hall and began to sweat. Apply the toy play just discussed to the other person.


    "Welcome to the new world."


    Lacey raised her head and chuckled in Roan''s ear, walked to the bar in the corner with his arm, knocked on the table and shouted:


    "Where''s your boss?"


    The waitress at the bar poured two glasses of wine for the two, pointed to a pink room in the corner of the hall and said:


    "The boss is playing, no time."


    Nodding, Lacey walked towards the pink room with Roan''s arm in her arms, and broke in without knocking on the door.


    "Hey!"


    "Fu-k"


    "what''s wrong with you?"


    The moment the door was opened, there were a few angry curses in the room, Lacey didn''t care, she pulled a black leather whip from behind the door and whipped it, took out the golden FBI badge and displayed it to everyone in front of him, shouting loudly:


    "The boss stays! Everyone else goes out!"


    Roan: "."


    Is the way so wild? !


    Seeing the golden badge of the FBI, several men and women in the pink room stopped their body movements immediately, and turned to look at a middle-aged Caucasian woman with a naked body and heavy makeup.


    Seeing her waving her hand, several men and women hurriedly put on their own clothes and ran out of the room. One of the white men ran out of bed in a hurry without even pulling out his things.


    Too hot eyes.


    Roan sighed. I don''t know if it''s because of his bad luck, or because the American customs are too rampant. Why do I always encounter these strange things today?


    "FBI?"


    The middle-aged Caucasian woman Avila sat up from the bed, lit a cigarette and put it in her mouth, without any clothes on, she just looked at Lacey and Roan quietly, and laughed:


    "What are you doing here today? How can I help you?"


    Lacey didn''t talk nonsense, took Sabina''s photo from Roan, showed it in front of Avila, and said:


    "She is a member of yours. Call me all the people who have served her before. I have something to ask them."


    "Impossible, Ms. Agent."


    Avila stood up from the bed and said while getting dressed:


    "We are here to create a top-secret space to give customers the illusion of safety. We cannot show you the privacy of our customers. This violates our principles."


    After hearing Avila''s words, Lacey was not angry, she took out her phone and said:


    "Then I''ll contact the NYPD (New York Police Department) and see if they''ll deal with you here."


    "We have a formal and legal business license, and everything here complies with the regulations. The FBI can search here if they want to, first go to the court to apply for a search warrant."


    Avila took a puff of cigarette, touched Lacey''s face and said with a smile:


    "Why do you think my business is still safe and sound?"


    "you"


    Lacey''s face froze, and the smile on Avila''s face became even wider. Just as he was about to continue talking, Roan suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the two of them. Seeing Avila looking at him, Roan took out his mobile phone and said with a smile :


    "My superior used to work for the IRS (Federal Revenue Service), would you like to chat with him?"


    ��.��


    Hearing this, Avila fell silent immediately, then gave Roan and Lacey a hard look, and walked towards the door and said:


    "Give me ten minutes, and I''ll call those people out."


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection!

 Chapter 20： Grenade!

    Chapter 20 Grenade!


    "Nice job, Roan."


    Seeing Avila walk out of the room and start ordering the waiter at the bar to find someone, Lacey threw the whip aside and patted Roan on the shoulder very satisfied:


    "I didn''t expect you to be so proficient in lying."


    "Are you praising me or scolding me?"


    Looking around in the room, Lacey picked up a small egg-shaped toy that had not been unpacked, stuffed it into her pocket, and gave Roan a grenade-shaped toy that was also unopened, and said with a smile:


    "Of course it''s a compliment, but you didn''t lie to me."


    Turning a blind eye to Lacey''s small movements, Roan turned and left the pink room. Upon seeing this, Avila, the bar owner, beckoned him to hurry over, and then led the two into a room with a purple door.


    ��These people are our service people.��


    Avila stuffed more than a dozen pink business cards into Roan''s hand, and scratched Roan''s palm by the way, then pointed to the men and women who entered the room one by one and said:


    "It''s all here."


    Looking at the business card expressionlessly, Roan saw that there were more than fifteen men and women in the room, and turned his head in silence for a moment and asked:


    "These people have served Sabina?"


    "Who is Sabina?"


    Lacey patted Roan''s shoulder and whispered:


    "Those who came out to play did not use their real names, they all used pseudonyms."


    After speaking, Lacey showed the photos on the phone to everyone, and everyone suddenly realized when they saw the photos:


    "So it''s Calista!"


    "Our Queen of Punishment!"


    "She''s our favorite customer!"


    "Yeah yeah, I can''t get out of bed every time I serve her!"


    Hearing the evaluation of Sabina by the men and women in the room, Roan silently sighed that Mr. Darren is really a cactus, his head is so green that it blooms.


    Coughing to attract everyone''s attention, Roan asked with a serious face:


    "Did any of you see Calista from eight o''clock last night to six o''clock this morning?"


    Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and you didn��t answer. A white girl with wheat-colored skin, vest line and small abdominal muscles in the crowd laughed:


    "Mr. Detective, the time you asked is the busy period for us to go to work. The boss is watching here. How can we dare to be absent from work?"


    Avila slapped the girl''s **** fiercely, but the girl avoided it with a charming smile. Roan frowned when he saw this, and grabbed Avila and asked seriously:


    "Are you sure these people were at work yesterday? Did any of them run out halfway to deliver food? Think about it carefully, don''t lie to me, lying to federal agents is a felony!"


    Roan has already opened his mouth to say such words.


    Roan��s serious inquiry made Avila calm down, he looked around carefully at the men and women in the room, then patted his head, and said:


    ��There��s a black boy, Craig, who��s here part-time, and he��s not in the room right now, he went out with Calista like yesterday.��


    "Where is the other person?"


    "It''s in the blue room."


    Hearing the news, Roan and Lacey glanced at each other, walked out of the room through the crowd, and walked towards the blue room that Avila mentioned.


    A black boy in only his trousers came out of the blue room, Lacey shouted:


    "Craig, did you see Calista yesterday?"


    "?"


    Hearing someone call his name, Craig turned his head subconsciously. When he saw Roan and Lacey in suits and leather shoes, their pupils shrank, they dropped the toys in their hands, turned around and ran away.


    "Fu-k"


    The moment Craig opened his thigh, Roan also rushed towards Craig. The hall was dimly lit. Craig himself was a black man. If he really wanted to hide in a dark corner It is not easy to find each other.


    Craig, as a black man who grew up struggling on the margins of society, running is commonplace.


    I was chased by the New York police before, and now I am chased by the FBI without panic. Not only did I not panic when I shuttled around the hall, but I even chose the optimal escape direction.


    Seeing himself getting closer to the shining gate, Craig grinned and showed his white teeth. So what about the FBI, isn''t he being left behind? Do you really think that I have been running for nothing for so many years?


    Why? What''s this?


    Hearing the sound of the wind coming from his ear, Craig raised his head subconsciously, and suddenly the ghosts froze:


    A grenade!


    "Shit!"


    Seeing the grenade hit in front of him, Craig''s legs went limp instantly, and he subconsciously knelt on the ground and put his head in his hands to prepare for the impact of the explosion.


    But. Nothing happened.


    It didn��t happen without incident. Lacey stepped forward and handcuffed Craig. Roan picked up the grenade under Craig��s astonished eyes, turned up and down, and asked with a smile:


    "I heard that you work part-time here, can you tell me how this toy works?"


    ".Fu-k! Shit! You bastard! ****!"


    Realizing that he was deceived by the toy, Craig cursed loudly. Lacey, whose vocabulary was too dirty, frowned, raised her hand and grabbed the grenade from Roann''s hand, and stuffed it into Craig''s mouth:


    "Stop scolding, you have plenty of time to scold when you go back to the FBI."


    "Wooooooh��"


    Hearing that Roan and Lacie were going to take him back to the FBI headquarters, Craig immediately faltered and shook his head repeatedly.


    Seeing that Craig whined a few times and stopped cursing, Roan wanted to pull the grenade out of his mouth and asked a few questions, but found that he couldn''t pull it out.


    Lacey: "."


    Ten minutes later, in the purple room, Lacey finally managed to pull the grenade out of Craig''s mouth using the lubricating liquid in every room.


    "vomit��"


    The lubricating liquid might not taste very good. After the grenade left his mouth, Craig vomited frantically holding the trash can in the room.


    Lacey went to the bathroom to clean her hands with an ugly face, while Roan patted Craig on the shoulder and asked gently:


    "Tell me, how did you kill Kalista?"


    "What?"


    Hearing Roan''s question, Craig almost threw the trash can aside, and hurriedly raised his head and replied:


    "I haven''t killed anyone! You can''t do that! You can''t blame me!"


    This time is 2005, and only 4 years have passed since the incident of the plane crashing into the building. In recent years, Craig has often heard that the FBI can''t solve the case, so he arrests some minorities to take the blame.


    Among them, there are many blacks, and more Arabs.


    Roan just joined the FBI not long ago, and he still doesn''t know about the FBI''s slapstick operations. Seeing that Craig refused to admit that he was the murderer, he spread his hands:


    "Calista is missing. Your boss and colleagues said that you were the last person to see her yesterday. Who is the murderer?"


    "Fu-k!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Craig cursed, but hurriedly explained:


    "Bro, it''s really not me. I did leave here with Calista yesterday, but we were only together for about ten minutes. She answered the phone and left when we were lying on the bed. It��s been a long time since I can��t get up or down!��


    "Is there any evidence for what you said?"


    "Of course!"


    It''s about the rest of his life, Craig didn''t dare to lie, and said directly:


    "After I left Calista''s house, I went to find my girlfriend. She can testify to me that I was with my girlfriend from 8:30 last night until this morning!"


    ��.You still have a girlfriend?��


    "Of course, work is work and life is life. I have always made the distinction very clear!"


    Roan: "."


    Please recommend! Please recommend!

 Chapter 21： Man in black

    Chapter 21 The Man in Black


    "Craig does spend the night with his girlfriend."


    Mona on the other end of the phone said: "Surveillance shows that after he entered his girlfriend''s apartment, he didn''t go out all night. He didn''t go out to work until after eight o''clock this morning."


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, hung up the phone, turned to look at Craig, whose hands were handcuffed, sitting on the bed nervously looking at him, thought for a few seconds and continued to ask:


    "You just said that Calista left after answering the phone, did you hear what was said on the other end of the phone?"


    "No."


    Seeing that Roan''s attitude towards himself improved a lot after answering the phone, Craig heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied;


    "We were both in bed when the phone rang, and Callista came out of the bedroom when the phone rang, but I lay still in bed, so I didn''t hear what was said on the phone, only Callista Ta cursed a few words into the phone."


    "OK."


    Lacey, who walked back to the room, wrote down the information in a small notebook. Roan thought for a moment and suddenly raised his head and asked:


    "When my teammates called you just now, why did you turn around and run?"


    "Forehead"


    Seeing that Craig began to hesitate, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, took out his other pair of handcuffs and shook:


    "Think it over before answering. It is a felony to deceive a federal agent."


    Lacey, who was standing aside, twitched the corners of her eyes when she heard this.


    "Well, I thought you guys were called by Kalista to get me."


    Craig thought for a few seconds and chose to tell the truth. Anyway, the other party��s purpose is not on him, so he said directly:


    ��When I was playing with Calista before, I installed a tiny camera in the corner of the bedroom, and I was going to take some love videos between us, and I will recall the memories in the future.��


    Lacey''s face was very contemptuous:


    "I''m planning to use the video to blackmail the other party for money in the future."


    "Whatever you say."


    Craig shrugged. Anyway, he hasn''t threatened the other party yet, even if he is charged, he will at most be fined some money.


    After hearing what Craig said, Roan found something, and asked with a puzzled face:


    "Where is the camera you installed? Our agents searched every room in the villa, especially the bedroom. It is impossible to find your camera."


    "Villa?"


    Craig was taken aback: "Calista''s home is in Livington, the lower town. How can there be a villa there?"


    "I hate rich people."


    Levington in the lower city, Lacey got off the SUV, looked at the single-family apartment in front of her and sighed, and said to Roan next to her:


    "Especially this kind of rich people who have houses everywhere."


    "Think of the good, Lacey."


    Roan took out the Glock 18 gun and pointed it down, slowly walking towards the door of the apartment:


    "If we rescue this kind of rich people, we can get more gratitude money."


    "Makes sense."


    Lacey nodded, the salary of the FBI is so little, if there is no bonus after solving the case, or the victim will give some reward money afterwards, that salary is not as good as going out to find a bar to dance striptease to make money.


    The two stood on the left and right of the door of the apartment and looked at each other. Roan counted down three two one with his hands, then kicked open the door and rushed in.


    "FBI open up!"


    Shouted a slogan, Roan carefully searched the first room in the apartment with a Glock 18 in his hand.


    Maybe it is related to the memory of the previous life, Roan now likes to shout slogans more and more.


    "Safety."


    "Safety."


    Several rooms in the apartment were empty. After making sure it was safe, Roan went to the bedroom and took out a camera from behind the bookshelf Craig said.


    The camera has been working, and Roan feels hot when he touches it.


    "It seems that this house is Sabina''s temporary residence when she comes out to play."


    Lacey rummaged through the bedroom, found a box of toys under the bed, glanced at it and kicked it back, tilted her head and pouted:


    "I don''t know why there is any need for such a marriage between her and Darren."


    "Didn''t Darren say that he was just playing with that man, and he loves Sabina."


    Roan took out the memory card in the camera and laughed:


    "Maybe Sabina thinks the same way. She loves Darren, and she just indulges herself when she comes out to have fun."


    "maybe."


    After a brief search of the apartment, it was found that except for the bedroom, the other rooms were basically untouched and there was nothing there. Roan then drove back to the headquarters with Lacey.


    "I leave it to you, Mona."


    Arriving at the office of the No. 5 investigation team, Roan handed over the memory card he found to Mona and asked her to look through the video records inside.


    "Simple."


    Mona looked relaxed, and her slender fingers were crackling on the computer. A few minutes later, a video was shown in front of everyone:


    The first is a few minutes of video of Sabina and Craig frolicking on the bed. Mona presses the fast play button to skip this content. .


    Roan: "."


    As for?


    As Craig said in the next picture technology, Sabina received a phone call and the interaction between the two was interrupted.


    Sabina left the bedroom to answer the phone, told Craig to leave, packed her clothes and turned to leave.


    The picture is still normal up to here, until Mona speeds up the video picture to four hours.


    I saw a man wearing a black coat, black pants, black mask and black hat, suddenly pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.


    The man in the black mask found a few toys under the bed in the bedroom, and took out some tempting clothes from the closet, stuffed them all into a schoolbag, turned and left the room.


    Don''t forget to close the bedroom door before leaving.


    At the end of the video, Lacey and Roan broke into the room with guns. Mona switched the video to the moment when the man in the black mask entered the bedroom and shrugged:


    "Obviously, this man is not a thief."


    Not stealing money or bags, only toys and clothes, obviously for Sabina.


    This person is most likely the real culprit behind the scenes.


    "Can you try to confirm the identity of this man?"


    The man in black is not as tall as Darren, and his body looks thinner than the black Craig. It seems that the murderer is not the two of them.


    Roan patted Mona on the shoulder, looked up at the clock at the front of the office area, and said:


    "It is five o''clock in the afternoon, and it has been 11 hours since the victim disappeared."


    "I try my best."


    Mona''s face is not very good-looking, there is no way, the other party is fully armed, only showing her eyes, she can only try to see if there is surveillance around the apartment.


    Mona''s ten fingers tapped on the computer, Roan turned to look at Lacey, and said:


    "You go to contact the detective at the villa and ask him to bring Mr. Darren to us. Maybe he can recognize the man in the video."


    "OK."


    Lacey nodded, and turned to call the villa detective.


    Everyone had their own jobs. Roan sat on a chair and rubbed his stomach. He felt a little hungry after running all afternoon. After scanning around for a week, he found some unopened food on Ryder''s table.


    Ryder was still outside asking for information from the relatives of the victims of the serial murder case. When he was not in the office, Roan didn''t hesitate. He sat directly on Ryder''s chair, opened a package of food and ate.


    There are some information about the victims in the serial murder case on the desktop. Roan, who was eating food, opened a folder and looked it up.


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 22： also a medical center

    Chapter 22 also counts as a medical center


    [The Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case], the four victims�� home address, social environment, life experience, etc. seem to be unrelated, and the only common feature is their own conditions.


    For example, they are all married women and have a good relationship with their husbands.


    Even the youngest, Natalie Carlyle, is only twenty-five years old, but she has been married for two years.


    "I remember that New Jersey seems to stipulate that men can get married when they reach 14, and women can get married when they reach 12."


    Thinking of this, Luo An shook his head again and again. The United States advertised like crazy to protect the various rights and interests of minors, but turned around and allowed child marriage and child labor


    Roan remembers that a former president of the United States was prosecuted for being an adult female star in his previous life. Some people on the Internet wondered why the top leaders of the rival parties insisted on prosecuting him for being an adult female star?


    Someone below replied: Because those who are not adults are related to the high-level hostile parties


    Shaking his head, putting aside the messy things in his mind, Roan continued to check the information in the folder, and suddenly found a problem in the photo:


    Since the four victims are all married, why are there no rings of the victims in the photos of the autopsy report and the photos of the on-site inspection records?


    "What does it mean when the murderer takes the victim''s ring?"


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, and analyzed: "Souvenir? Or a different kind of possessiveness?"


    Just like one person stealing a toy from another, the person who steals something always wants to erase the mark of the original owner on the toy.


    "Maybe related to the husbands of the victims."


    Thinking of this, Roan sent Ryder a text message, asking him to focus on the relationship, work life, etc. of the husbands of the four victims, and then returned to his seat.


    Half an hour later, her husband Darren arrived at the No. 5 investigation team, and Roan and Lacey led him into the conference room.


    Sitting on a chair, Darren looked at the screenshot of the video portrait in the laptop, frowning:


    "I don''t know this person, at least I don''t have the impression."


    "Are you sure, Mr. Darren."


    Roan put his hands on the table with a serious expression:


    "This man is most likely the one who kidnapped your wife. I hope you think about it carefully."


    "OK, OK."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Darren immediately lowered his head to check the screenshot of the portrait again, but looked left and right, but still had no impression, so he had no choice but to shake his head and said:


    "I''m really sorry, Mr. Detective, I really don''t have an impression. I''ve probably never seen this person in my life."


    "All right."


    After taking over the computer, Roan was a little disappointed, but then he thought that this is how the case is handled, and the clues cannot be found so easily, so he thanked Darren and got up and left the office.


    "Wait a minute, Agent Roan."


    Seeing that Roan was about to leave, Darren hurriedly got up and called him to stop, and asked:


    "Where did you find the people in the photos? Can you tell me? Maybe I can ask someone else."


    "Forehead."


    Hearing Darren''s words, Roan subconsciously fell silent, and Lacey looked at Darren with strange eyes.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Darren was a little puzzled, and then seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly became very flustered:


    "Could this be the murder scene of a serial kidnapping case?! Is my wife okay? Is she still alive? Answer me!"


    "Ahem."


    Seeing that Darren was so excited that he seemed to jump on him, Roan hurriedly took a step back to signal the other party to sit down first, tilted his head to signal Lacey to bring the business card, and then comforted Darren:


    "It''s like this, Mr. Darren, this is not a medical center. Well, it is also a medical center."


    Seeing the puzzled look on Darren''s face, Roan sighed.


    Put the pink membership card on the table in the meeting room, briefly introduce the game center under the coffee shop, Sabina''s status there, and everything that the black Craig said, and then put the information about the black clothes in the computer The human video clip was called out and said:


    "This is the case. In the video, the man in black broke into your wife''s apartment. He is most likely the murderer who kidnapped your wife. I hope you can identify him carefully. This is very helpful for us to find and rescue your wife help."


    After speaking, Roan glanced at Darren, who was blushing, and pulled Lacey around to walk out of the meeting room. The moment the door was closed, Darren''s hoarse voice came over:


    "Please make me a cup of coffee later, thank you."


    "OK."


    Ten minutes later, Roan pushed open the door of the conference room with a cup of coffee, and saw the smashed laptop at a glance.


    "Thanks."


    After taking Roan''s coffee, Darren, whose face had returned to normal, thanked him, and said in a calm tone:


    "I did not recognize the identity of the man in black, but I have sent his photo to other people in the company, maybe they will recognize it."


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, this Darren is a ruthless person.


    "I will compensate you for the laptops, ten."


    After taking a sip of coffee, Darren got up and straightened his suit, and said with a serious face:


    "But I want to stay with you tonight until I find my wife."


    "Fine."


    Roan nodded, and agreed to the other party for the sake of ten computers.


    Taking Darren out of the conference room, motioned for Lacey to take Darren to a seat far away to rest. Roan walked up to Mona and asked while rubbing her shoulders:


    "Thank you, Mona. Have you found the identity of the man in black?"


    "not yet."


    After searching for a long time, I couldn''t find any clues. Mona''s spirit was a little sluggish, and she pointed to the screen on the big **** computer and said:


    "There is no camera at the gate of Sabina''s apartment, and there is no camera on the opposite side of the apartment. Only the cameras of the two bakeries on the east and west sides of this street are connected to the network, but their cameras did not record black clothes at all. people."


    "Not recorded?"


    Roan raised his brows and questioned:


    "The man in black never appeared at all, or"


    "Never showed up at all."


    Mona clicked to write down the keyboard, and the screen of the computer began to play the pictures recorded by the cameras of the two bakeries:


    "I checked all the people who appeared on the surveillance screen within half an hour before and after the appearance of the man in black. Among them, women were excluded, children were excluded, and old men with gray hair were excluded. There were only six men left.


    But none of the six men were wearing black clothes or black hats, nor were they carrying bags. I compared the shoes of these six men, and none of them matched the men in black. "


    After listening to Mona''s words, Lacey who was sitting on the side subconsciously put her arms around Mona''s slender waist, and said in doubt:


    "Is the murderer in an apartment on that street?"


    "possible."


    Roan nodded, the street was so long, and there was nowhere to hide except the apartment.


    Seeing that Roan agreed with her, Lacey took out her phone decisively:


    "Then I will contact the New York Police Department now and ask them to send a few patrolmen to go door-to-door on that street to ask if anyone has seen Sabina, and by the way, check which ones on that street have old-fashioned surveillance videos that are not connected to the Internet. If so, bring back the video."


    "Wait a moment"


    Roan frowned. They are the FBI and have no affiliation with the New York Police Department. Is it really okay to ask them so directly?


    "it does not matter."


    Lacey smiled when she heard Roan''s worry:


    "I have contacts in the NYPD, it''s a small thing."


    "All right."


    Since the other party has acquaintances, then I will not talk too much.


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 23： new situation

    Chapter 23 New Situation


    In the office area, Lacey was contacting the New York Police Department, Mona sat drinking coffee, and Roan checked the surveillance video on the computer over and over again.


    Ryder is still bitterly asking for clues in Lower Brooklyn.


    "Have you found any clues?"


    After drinking the coffee, Mona cheered up and walked back to her seat. After scanning around a few times, she asked:


    "By the way, where is my laptop?"


    Just got smashed by Darren.


    Brows raised, and without answering Mona''s question, Roan pointed to the surveillance video in the computer and asked:


    "Mona, I just found out that the surveillance video showed that within ten minutes before and after the man in black disappeared, there were only three cars passing by this block. Can you find out the identity information of the owners of the three cars?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona''s attention was diverted, and she looked down at the blurry license plate number on the computer, Mona''s face was a little embarrassed:


    "let me try."


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Roan hurriedly got up and gave up his seat to Mona, and Lacey also came over after calling:


    "I have contacted the patrol police, and they will reply to me in half an hour."


    Seeing Mona''s ten fingers dancing on the keyboard again, Lacey asked:


    "Got a clue?"


    "No, just a vague thought."


    Roan sat back on his chair, rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and meditated:


    "The street of Sabina''s apartment is lined with apartments on both sides, and there are no small roads at all. If the person in black wants to leave that street, it is impossible not to pass by the bakery on both sides of that street."


    "Exactly."


    Lacey nodded, agreeing with Roan, Roan continued:


    "So the man in black either didn''t leave that street, he hid in some apartment on either side of that street. Or he changed his appearance in a way we don''t know at the moment, and left that street .So, of course, driving away is a good way to go."


    "Found it, Roan."


    There was a crackling sound of typing on the keyboard, and Mona''s voice was very happy:


    "The cameras in those two bakeries are of good quality, and they can barely see the license plate numbers of the three cars. I have already found the owner information of the three cars."


    "oh?"


    When Lacey heard this, she hurried to the computer, but Roan didn''t go to the computer, but asked:


    "Are the car owners male or female?"


    "The car owners are two men and one woman."


    Lacey looked at the information that popped up on the computer and read:


    ��One of the men is a lawyer and lives just down the street. Another man is a supermarket manager, and the remaining woman is a newspaper reporter.��


    A lawyer, a manager, and a reporter. Roan asked:


    "Can you see that the owner of the car is driving in the video?"


    Looking at the magnified blurry picture on the computer, the corner of Lacey''s mouth twitched:


    "It''s impossible to see clearly. It seems that the cameras used by these two bakeries are very old and have only recently been connected to the network."


    Seeing Roan bowed his head in deep thought, Lacey thought for a while and asked:


    "Should I contact the New York police again and ask them to send a few patrolmen to the homes of these three people to check them briefly?"


    "no."


    Roan shook his head, the New York Police Department is not run by them, how can they let them do all the work.


    It''s a trivial matter if you don''t work hard, but it will be even more troublesome if you startle the snake.


    Who knows if the man in black will choose to kill Sabina directly in a hurry.


    "Wait a moment."


    Just as Roan was thinking about which of the three to check first, Mona shouted with some fear:


    "Come and take a look. I just checked the newspaper office where the female reporter works. They announced last week that the female reporter has been fired because she lost contact for a week without any reason!"


    "Fu-k!"


    Lacey hurriedly turned her head to look at the missing person notice on the computer, and said in astonishment:


    "An announcement was made last week, and the reporter lost contact for a week without reason. This female reporter has been missing for three weeks? Then who was driving that car yesterday?"


    Seeing the announcement on the computer, Roan immediately got up and asked:


    "Where is the home of the female reporter?"


    ��Right here in Queens!��


    7:00 p.m., Queens, an apartment complex.


    Roan took Lacey, and several patrolmen sent by Lacey''s acquaintances in the New York Police Department, and got on the elevator together.


    Looking at Lacey and a female patrol officer who made an appointment to go shopping together after the work was over in a few words, Roan''s expression was numb.


    If he guessed correctly, Roan felt that Lacey''s so-called acquaintance in the police station was 100% female.


    People''s hearts are not old, and the world is going downhill!


    He criticized Lacey''s merciless behavior from the bottom of his heart, but after thinking about it, Roan found that he could do the same, and he was not much worse than Lacey.


    Ding-


    The elevator door opened slowly, and Roan immediately put aside the messy things in his mind, took out the Glock 18 and held it in his hand, and then took out a shock bomb under the surprised eyes of Lacey and all the patrolmen.


    ��.��


    Roan shrugged, expressing his lack of security, and led the team out of the elevator.


    But as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, the sound of knocking on the door and a man''s shout reached everyone''s ears. Roan and Lacey looked at each other and hurriedly slowed down their pace:


    "Serena? Serena, are you there?"


    At the gate of the female reporter��s rental house, a middle-aged white man in a brown leather jacket was frantically knocking on the door:


    "Serena, I heard you were fired."


    "do not move!"


    Seeing that the door the man was knocking on was exactly his target room, Roan and Lacey raised their guns and controlled the other party without saying a word:


    "Raise your hands, don''t make unnecessary moves!"


    "Hey! Hey! Don''t get me wrong! I''m not a thief!"


    Seeing the fully armed Roan and his party, Joseph Smith was taken aback. He hurriedly raised his hands obediently, and shouted at the same time:


    "My name is Joseph, I''m a reporter, and my driver''s seat is in the right pocket of my jacket! You mustn''t shoot!"


    Roan stepped forward and took out the driver''s seat from Joseph''s pocket, briefly flipped through it and handed it to the patrol police behind to let them check the authenticity of the driver''s seat, and then asked while doing a simple body search:


    "Why are you looking for reporter Serena?"


    ��She and I used to be partners.��


    No dangerous items were found on Joseph. Roan waved his hand to signal Lacey and the others to put down their guns. Joseph was also relieved when he saw this, and explained:


    "I heard that Serena was fired from the newspaper a few days ago, so I wanted to come over and ask her if she would rejoin my team."


    Ignoring Joseph''s explanation, Roan handed him over to the group of patrolmen to prevent him from leaving for the time being, and sent Mona the information about Joseph, asking her to simply check on Joseph.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan and Lacey stood on the left and right sides of the door. After counting down to three, they kicked the door open:


    "FBI! Openup!"


    The two quickly checked each room to make sure that there was no one in each room.


    "Safety!"


    "Safety!"


    There was no one in the small apartment room. Roan and Lacey looked at each other, and Qi Qi put down the gun in his hand. Lacey sighed:


    "It seems that we are one step late."


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection!

 Chapter 24： case escalation

    Chapter 24 Case Escalation


    "No, it''s not that I came a step late, but I came too late."


    Nose wrinkled, Roan smelled a vague smell in the room, walked to the kitchen with a gloomy face, turned around twice, looked at Lacey with a blank face, and said:


    "Call the trace inspection team, we need to check carefully here."


    "why?"


    Lacey took out her phone obediently, and subconsciously asked after dialing the number:


    "what have you found?"


    Roan''s face was very ugly. Hearing Lacey''s question, he grabbed the door of the refrigerator in the kitchen and slammed it open:


    Pieces of frozen meat were neatly placed in the refrigerator, and on the top shelf of the refrigerator, a female head with eyes open was quietly looking at Lacey on the opposite side of the refrigerator.


    "Hollyshit!"


    Lacey was so frightened that she almost threw her phone out.


    "What did you say?"


    The other end of the phone is very upset. What does it mean to swear at someone in the first sentence of the call?


    Half an hour later.


    "That Joseph can temporarily rule out the suspicion."


    On the other end of the phone was Mona''s crisp voice, and she said calmly amidst the crackling keyboard:


    "According to the information, Mr. Joseph is a freelance reporter. In recent months, there have been car accidents in the New York City area. He has been there. In the two hours before and after Sabina was kidnapped, he had been arguing with the program producers on NBC TV station. , there is no time to commit crimes."


    "OK."


    Roan nodded and continued to ask:


    "What did the boss of the newspaper where Serena works say? They said that they issued an announcement saying that Serena was fired because she lost contact for a week without reason. Didn''t they send anyone to find Serena during this period?"


    Hearing Roan''s question, Mona, who had already learned of Serena''s death, said angrily:


    "The owner of the newspaper said that they called Serena for a week but no one answered, so they fired Serena. As for going to Serena''s house to find her. The owner of the newspaper said that they were busy with work and had no time to send someone there. See her at Serena''s house.


    Moreover, freelance journalists like Serena are not in the minority, and there are quite a few who just play Lost Contact. Their newspapers have long been used to it. "


    "All right."


    Roan nodded: "Thank you, Mona."


    Hanging up the phone, Roan found that Lacey had asked the patrolman to record Joseph''s contact information and home address when he was on the phone just now, and then drove away the other party.


    Seeing the refrigerator on the side, Roan walked to Lacey and whispered:


    "Sorry, Lacey, I didn''t mean to scare you."


    Roan was also shocked. He just smelled a strong smell of blood in the refrigerator, so he judged that the murderer killed the female reporter and stuffed it into the refrigerator.


    Lacey is a professionally trained FBI agent after all, seeing a dead body is not a big deal.


    But he never expected that the murderer would dismember the victim and put them neatly inside.


    also put his head on top.


    "it''s not your fault."


    Hearing Roan''s apology, Lacey shook her head and said:


    "I was just thinking, from the perspective of the corpse, the murderer doesn''t seem like the first time to kill, so how many women were killed by the murderer before that."


    ��.��


    Roan was silent, he couldn''t answer this question.


    The United States has its own national conditions here. It is very rich in serial killers. Most of them kill women. No one knows how many women die at the hands of these perverts every year.


    Just as Roan was thinking about what to say to comfort Lacey, Neil, an agent from the trace inspection department, came over and handed Roan a small evidence bag with a serious tone:


    "We found a fingerprint that does not belong to Serena in the bathroom, and it has been sent back to the laboratory for comparison. There should be news coming soon.


    In addition, these are two credit cards found in the bathroom. After comparison, we judge that they are probably not the victim''s credit card, and we did not find the victim''s credit card. "


    "OK, thanks."


    After receiving the physical evidence bag, Neil, an agent of the Trace Inspection Department, turned and left.


    Roan looked at the two credit cards inside with a very ugly face. Lacey on the side seemed to understand something, and hesitated:


    "They."


    "If there is no accident, it should be that the owner of the credit card had an accident."


    Roan took out the Nokia again and called Mona:


    "Mona, look up the credit cards numbered **3 and **8, and find out who the owners of these two credit cards are."


    "OK."


    There was crackling typing on the other end of the phone, and Roan and Lacey were on the other end of the phone, who were speechless.


    "found it."


    Three minutes later, Mona''s voice came from the other end of the phone:


    "The owner of the two credit cards is named."


    Without waiting for Mona''s introduction, Lacey interrupted her and asked directly:


    "The names don''t matter, they''re two women, right?"


    ".right."


    Mona felt that her throat was a little dry, but her heart was beating faster and faster, and her mind was getting more and more angry.


    Why do murderers always kill women? Why?


    Roan, who is a male, looked down at the owner information of the two credit cards that Mona sent him, saw that one of them lived in Brooklyn, pondered for a second, and then called Ryder.


    "What''s the matter, Roan?"


    Ryder, who was looking into the information about the [Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case], was a little puzzled when he received a call from Roan, and asked:


    "Have you found any clues to the serial murder case?"


    "I found clues to the serial murder case, but not the serial murder case in your hands."


    Roan''s words made Ryder a little confused, but Ryder still understood Roan''s arrangement.


    "To an apartment in downtown Brooklyn, huh?"


    Ryder nodded, repeating Roan''s arrangement for himself:


    "If there is a dead body inside, I will call you immediately, and contact the trace inspection department at the same time, right?"


    "Exactly."


    Hearing Roan''s affirmation on the other end of the phone, Ryder said it was a trivial matter, and then hung up the phone.


    Hung up the phone, Roan stopped Lacey who was searching the room with Agent Neil of the Trace Inspection Section, and said:


    "Go back to the headquarters first, Lacey, this matter needs to be reported to the team leader Augustus."


    "OK."


    Investigation Team No. 5, eight o''clock in the evening.


    Mr. Darren is still sitting in the conference room at this time, waiting for news from his wife Sabina.


    It has been 14 hours since Sabina disappeared.


    In the team leader''s office, Augustus sat on a chair, pressed his right hand to his forehead, and looked at Roan and Lacey with extremely complicated eyes:


    "So you mean, now [the missing and kidnapping case of the rich woman] has escalated into a new serial murder case?"


    "Actually, I''m not sure yet."


    Roan shook his head: "We don''t know whether the owners of those two credit cards are alive or dead. Ryder went to the apartment in Brooklyn to investigate."


    Jingle Bell-


    Halfway through the conversation, Nokia��s ringtone rang. Just as Roan pressed the answer button, Ryder��s standard loud voice came from the other end of the phone:


    "FUCK! Roan! You''ll never guess what''s going on here! There''s a whole bunch of meat in the freezer! And"


    "OK, let''s contact the trace inspection department."


    Before Ryder could finish speaking, Roan interrupted the other party calmly, then hung up the phone, looked up and said to Augustus:


    "It''s a serial murder case now."


    Augustus: "."


    Please recommend! Please recommend!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 25： case on tv

    Chapter 25 The case is on TV


    "Fu-k!"


    Augus cursed in a low voice, not knowing whether to scold Roan or the serial murderer.


    "Lacey, you go out first."


    "OK."


    Let Lacey leave the team leader''s office temporarily, and Augustus asked Roan very seriously with his **** face:


    "Roan, a kidnapping case is different from a serial murder case, do you know that?"


    "I know."


    Roan nodded.


    Comparatively speaking, solving the serial murder case and catching the real culprit of the serial murder case, excluding the aspect of rising fame, the lead detective who solves the case actually doesn��t get much money, because the amount of reward for the case is fixed.


    The family members of the victims in the serial murder cases don��t give much thanks most of the time, because after the death of the victims, many families have become broken, and it is normal to have no money.


    Kidnapping cases are different, because the purpose of the kidnapping criminals is to ask for money, and the families of the kidnapped victims also understand this, so when the detectives help them rescue their relatives, they are generally not stingy in paying thanks.


    Anyway, the kidnappers are also given, and the thank you money for the detectives is less than that for the kidnappers.


    Americans also understand the truth that if a horse wants to run, it must be fed grass.


    This can be regarded as an unwritten rule in the United States.


    Seeing Roan nodding, Augustus was very satisfied. He liked this kind of subordinate who knew everything, so he went on to say:


    "Our No. 5 investigation team has just been established, and serial murder cases are actually not suitable for us.


    The reason why I took over the [Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case] ??was also because this case spans a long time, and it is best to solve the case. If it cannot be solved, the team leader will not criticize us, and will only hand over the case to other investigation teams. So I took the ��Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case��mainly to let you increase your experience.


    The kidnapping case is different. This kind of case is sometimes difficult and sometimes easy.


    I took over the [The Missing and Kidnapping Case of a Rich Woman], mainly for the purpose of training soldiers. It��s best to solve the case. I told you before that if I can��t solve the case, I will transfer Ryder to take charge, and you will accumulate experience, and you will have opportunities in the future.��


    Hearing Augustus'' eloquent talk, Roan''s expression was a little confused.


    Guys, I''m thinking about making money, you''re thinking about politics!


    The two people think in completely opposite directions.


    After talking eloquently for a long time, Augustus felt his mouth was a little dry. Roan got up and poured him a cup of coffee. Augustus was very satisfied. After drinking the coffee, he finally asked:


    "So, the current situation is, are you sure to catch the murderer? If not, I will immediately hand over this case to other investigation teams. After all, 14 hours have passed since the 24-hour prime time."


    "Forehead"


    Roan bowed his head in thought.


    When we were in the Queens apartment just now, Neil, an agent of the trace investigation team, briefly introduced the state of the body parts to Roan when he was sorting out the body parts.


    Based on the thickness of the frost on the surface of the corpses and the degree of freezing of the corpses themselves, Nell roughly judged that these corpses had not been frozen for a long time, roughly two to three days.


    If Detective Nell''s judgment is correct, it means that after kidnapping Serena, the murderer tortured her for more than two weeks before killing her.


    Judging from this perspective, the rich woman Sabina should be safe, and there is a high probability that she has not been killed by the murderer.


    Of course, nothing is absolute, who knows what a pervert like a serial killer thinks.


    Immediately afterwards, the three most important things are: Who is the murderer? Where is the murderer''s home address? After kidnapping Sabina, where is the murderer hiding now?


    Who the murderer is is still uncertain.


    The Trace Inspection Section did find fingerprints that did not belong to the victim in the apartment in Queens. But now it cannot be determined 100% that the fingerprint is the fingerprint of the murderer.


    Not only that, but the trace inspection of Kobe��s fingerprints takes a long time, and there are only 11 hours left in the 24-hour prime time.


    At the same time, Kobe''s fingerprints can only be compared with the FBI''s criminal fingerprint library for trace inspection. In other words, if the serial murderer had never committed a crime before and hadn''t recorded his fingerprints in the local police station, then the FBI''s fingerprint inspection database would not be able to find out the identity of the murderer at all.


    It is not known who the murderer is, and it is even more impossible to find the murderer''s home address.


    "The only thought now is, where did the murderer hide after kidnapping Sabina?"


    Roan closed his eyes tightly, his brain spinning wildly, thinking hard about everything that happened today, trying to analyze the murderer''s behavior pattern and find the place where the murderer is hiding now.


    But serial killers are completely different from real killers after all, Roan can''t analyze what a perverted idea is like even after thinking for a long time.


    Just when Roan was about to give up, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly thought of something.


    Is the murderer


    Seeing Roan''s pensive expression, Augustus understood that the other party was analyzing clues, so he didn''t urge him, picked up the coffee and prepared to take another sip.


    boom!


    The door of the team leader''s office was slammed open. Augustus was startled by the sudden loud noise, and the coffee in his hand spilled directly on his stomach.


    "Fu-k! Burn me!"


    Augus jumped up from the chair because of the heat, grabbed the folder on the desktop, and subconsciously wanted to throw it at the person who entered the office without knocking.


    But seeing that the person who broke into the office was Darren, the husband of the rich woman Sabina, Augustus hastily suppressed the movement of his hands, and even forgot to wipe the shirt on his stomach.


    "Agent Roan, Sabina was kidnapped by a serial killer, right?"


    Roan was also taken aback by the sudden opening of the door. Just as he was about to punch the person who interrupted his train of thought, Darren''s questioning voice rang in his ears. Roan immediately asked:


    "Where did you hear that?"


    He only talked about this matter with Augustus, Lacey, and Mona. Could it be that one of Mona and Lacey slipped the tongue?


    Darren looked extremely anxious: "It was said on TV!"


    "WTF?!"


    Hearing Darren''s words, Auguston''s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly left the team leader''s office and ran to the front of the office area.


    There hangs a big **** TV that broadcasts the news 24 hours a day.


    In the office area, all the agents stared at the blond hostess of the news program on TV.


    ��At about 7:30 tonight, in a certain apartment on a certain street in Queens District, an extremely horrific murder occurred. The murderer not only dismembered the victim��s body, but also put the victim��s body in the refrigerator to freeze it.


    According to reliable sources, this case is a serial murder case, and the apartment is only one of the victims, and the FBI has been involved in the investigation, but the FBI has no effective clues so far, please pay attention to safety.��


    "Fu-k! Shet! Biao Zi Yang!"


    After watching the broadcast on TV, Augustus�� already dark face turned blacker than ink. He turned around and looked at the people in the office area, and asked angrily:


    "Who leaked this case!"


    Darren on the side looked extremely ugly, and shouted at Augustus:


    "Was my wife Sabina kidnapped by this perverted killer?! How is she doing now?"


    The detectives in the office area looked around, not knowing what happened.


    Knowing the inside story, Mona and Lacey tilted their heads and looked at each other with doubts on their faces.


    According to the customs of the United States, under normal circumstances, when a certain case is known by the media, the subsequent development of the case will be greatly affected.


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 26： Another weight of the case

    Chapter 26 another case


    In addition to whether the process of solving the case complies with the regulations, whether the evidence for the crime is sufficient, etc., which are easily put under the spotlight by the media, there are many people who will sympathize with the murderer, and then a bunch of people rush to refute the murderer.


    It doesn''t matter what crime the murderer committed or how many people he killed.


    It is understandable that the lawyer defended the murderer for the sake of his life.


    But why those ordinary people sympathize with the murderer can only say that the United States has its own national conditions.


    "Take it easy, Mr. Darren."


    At the critical moment, Roan still stepped out.


    Pease Darren into the conference room, let him wait for a while, walked out of the conference room Roan said to Augustus with a serious expression:


    "It was definitely not someone from our team who leaked this case."


    Hearing this, Augustus'' complexion gradually improved, and the expressions of all the agents in the office area also gradually eased.


    "Who leaked that?"


    Augus questioned: "There are only you and the detectives from the trace inspection department at the scene. Could it be traces? No!"


    While talking, Augustus suddenly remembered something, his face sank:


    "You said before that you went to the scene of the crime with Lacey and the patrol officers of the New York Police Department, so it is said that the New York Police Department leaked the case?"


    Lacey''s complexion suddenly became ugly.


    Roan still shook his head and said:


    "In addition to us, there is also a freelance reporter Joseph."


    "who?"


    Augustus frowned.


    Roan took Mona to the computer and asked her to enter the information on Joseph''s driver''s license that she had seen before. Soon, Joseph''s identity, occupation and other information were in front of everyone:


    "Joseph Smith, 33, is a ''night crawler'' who photographs conflicts, fires, murders and other crimes every night, and then sells the images to News Corporation for profit."


    Lacey on the side looked very ugly. When Roan called, she didn''t listen and drove Joseph away.


    She ignored the existence of Joseph.


    "Fu-k!"


    Augus slapped the table hard, and Roan explained from the side:


    "It seems that this wolfhound smelled big news on us, and then somehow got the general situation of the case."


    The reason why I say roughly is because the host on TV only talked about the case, but did not tell the key facts of the case


    "I''ll take care of this wolfhound."


    Joseph��s behavior went a bit beyond the bounds this time, and Augustus decided to go back and teach him a lesson, such as finding a crime and imprisoning him for a period of time.


    The fact that the case was in the news shows that the development of the matter has gone beyond Augustus'' control. Generally, when things go out of the control of the chief, the chief of the higher level will start to question the crime.


    Sure enough, Augustus''s phone rang immediately, and Augustus looked at the contact person, the group supervisor, Vernis.


    Augustus: "."


    One year is too short, let''s close it for three years!


    Waved his hand to signal to the detectives what to do. Today, all the staff worked overtime for the kidnapping case of a rich woman, which is considered a rare thing.


    Taking Roan into the team leader''s office, Augustus took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.


    "Augus, I have seen the news."


    The team leader, Vernis, didn''t talk nonsense at all, her voice was cold and crisp:


    "What are you going to do next? Are you sure you can solve this case?"


    Augus doesn''t know what to say, does he have the ability to solve crimes, can Verenice know?


    So without hesitation, he directly handed the phone to Roan.


    Roan: "???"


    Looking at the mobile phone in his hand, Luo An was stunned.


    Isn''t this your officer?


    Until the voice of Vernis on the other end of the phone began to become a little impatient, Roan secretly scolded Augustus for being black-faced and black-hearted, and hurriedly answered the phone:


    "Hi sir, I''m Roann Greenwood."


    The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent. After a long time, Verinisi''s voice sounded again, cold and emotionless:


    "Why are you answering the phone, Augustus?"


    "he"


    Looking at Augustus who was sitting on the chair behind the desk and shaking his hands again and again, Roan immediately replied:


    "He waved at me and wouldn''t let me give him the phone."


    Augustus: "."


    "snort."


    Verinis on the other end of the phone snorted coldly, knowing what kind of temper Augustus had, she stopped talking nonsense and asked directly:


    "This case has been in the news. My superior ordered me to hold a press conference tomorrow morning. Once the press conference is held, the time to solve the case is limited to 24 hours. Therefore, within 24 hours the case must be solved and the murderer must be caught. can you do it?"


    After a few seconds of silence, Roan asked, "If I succeed in solving the case within 24 hours, is there any reward?"


    Verinis on the other end of the phone had a bad tone:


    "The case belonged to you, and the news was leaked because you didn''t protect the case well. Not only did I not punish your No. 5 investigation team, but you also want rewards?"


    Without waiting for Roan to speak, Verenice continued:


    "If you can''t solve the case, tell me now, and I will hand over the case to someone else immediately. If you think you can solve the case, but you don''t succeed in solving the case within 24 hours, you can leave the job directly when the time is over."


    Even for the reward after rescuing the rich woman, Roan couldn''t quit.


    Thinking of the speculation, Roan, who had some clues, was about to agree. At this moment, Augustus suddenly walked over and snatched the phone.


    Roan: "?"


    Grabbing the phone, the expression on Augustus'' face was very serious:


    "Sir, has Brosen returned from the Washington headquarters?"


    Hearing Augustus'' voice, Verenice wanted to ridicule him a few words, but when she heard the content of the other party''s words, the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.


    She understood what Augustus said.


    The phone was hung up immediately.


    Roan looked at Augustus with some doubts, only to see that Augustus had an ugly face like black coffee without sugar, contacting what the other party said just now, Roan seemed to understand something.


    After a while, Augustus'' cell phone rang, and immediately after he pressed the answer button, Verenice''s voice came from the other end:


    "An hour before the TV news appeared, Brosen was promoted to the team supervisor at the headquarters. Twenty-four hours later, Brosen officially took office."


    The tone was so cold that people would shudder when they heard it, and Augustus had such an expression on his face.


    Standing aside, Roan nodded thoughtfully.


    The thirteen investigation teams in the New York branch have already been divided up by the four team leaders including Verinisi, so there is no team assigned to the newly promoted team leader Brosen.


    Bruosen obviously knew the situation he would face in the future. In order to ensure that he would not become an empty shelf, he also had someone at his disposal, so he decisively chose to preemptively strike and pointed the finger at the team leader of five investigation teams under him: Wei Reneeth.


    This kidnapping case was upgraded to a serial murder case, and now it seems that there is a high probability that Brosen leaked it to the media.


    ''Nightcrawler'' Joseph is just a tool man.


    Roan had some doubts before. Joseph, a reporter wandering the streets, couldn''t possibly not know the consequences of offending the FBI.


    Bringing this case to the media, is it really for the sake of making money?


    Now seeing Brosen hiding behind the scenes, everything finally went smoothly.


    I''ve been busy these two days, so the update is a bit late, sorry! Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, try to resume the noon update, thank you for your support!


    Finally. Please recommend! Please recommend! Ask for collection! Ask for collection!

 Chapter 27： 24 hours

    Chapter 27 24 Hours


    "Judging from the current situation, if this serial murder case is not solved within 24 hours, Vernis''s loss must be very serious."


    Roan stood at the door of the team leader''s office, saw Augustus in the office holding the phone with a dignified expression and nodding frequently, thinking to himself:


    "It should not be possible to be dismissed directly, but the investigation teams No. 1 to No. 5 in hand may be handed over to Brosen who just took office."


    This is the purpose of Brosen.


    Roan had already guessed the ins and outs of the incident, but there were still some details that he didn''t want to understand.


    For example, after working in the No. 1 investigation team for so many years, Bruosen must have accumulated a lot of contacts. After being promoted to the team leader, it is impossible for him to be put aside as an empty shelf. There will definitely be an investigation team assigned to him.


    Since this is the case, why is Brosen so impatient to attack Verenice?


    In order to attack him in the future, to avenge the kick he kicked his nephew?


    The moment Roan came up with this idea, he threw it into the trash can.


    Totally impossible.


    Just a nephew, not that valuable. During the chat, Lacey once told Roan that she felt that Brosen was far more like a politician than the leader of the investigation team.


    In the eyes of American politicians, some are tradable.


    Then why? Roan touched his chin and thought carefully.


    Could it be that Brosen and Vernis had a grudge before?


    Thinking of this, Roan''s eyes lit up, it should be like this.


    Otherwise, why didn''t Bruosen focus on other team leaders, but only on Vernis.


    "It''s just a serial murder case, but it has turned into a high-level game."


    Roan was a little speechless, but after thinking about it, could he get some benefit from this matter?


    "Verinis is the team leader, it is impossible to solve the case in person."


    Roan lowered his head and thought, the more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, and the more he felt that this matter was promising.


    To solve the case, Vernice had to choose one of the five investigation teams.


    The No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 investigation teams usually have a mediocre rate of solving crimes. It is simply difficult for them to solve such a difficult event as a serial murder case within the specified time.


    Investigation Team No. 1 is Bruosen''s hometown, and it is definitely impossible for Verenice to hand over the case to them, otherwise she would just stick her neck at the gangster with the knife.


    The only thing left is investigation team No. 5.


    And the case itself was created by their No. 5 investigation team, so it''s not appropriate to throw the blame on others.


    The No. 5 investigation team will solve the case, and only Luo An can solve the case.


    "Roan, come in."


    Just as he bowed his head and pondered what to do next, the door of the team leader''s office suddenly opened, and Augustus called him in.


    Sitting on the chair, Augustus looked very serious, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to kill flies.


    Before he could speak, Verenice''s voice came from the phone:


    "Roan, I will hold a press conference in thirty minutes. I want you to tell me right now, can this serial murder case be solved within 24 hours and the real culprit caught?"


    If you ask that, it must be impossible.


    Roan frowned, and just about to ask for an excuse, Vernis''s voice came again from the phone:


    "If the case is successfully solved, I will contact my superiors to obtain special funds for your group for one year."


    It means that in the next year, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team will receive a large performance bonus every month.


    The office was a little quiet, Roan didn''t answer, and turned his gaze to Augustus.


    The black man with a big belly is expressionless.


    Augustus is very helpless now. In fact, he really wants to throw the case out, but except for the No. 1 investigation team leader Brosen, he has a good relationship with the No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 investigation team leaders. The case ruined the relationship in the future.


    Instead, he chose to solve the case. The No. 5 investigation team had just been established, and he knew the abilities of everyone in the team. The only one who could count on solving the case was Luo An.


    But Augustus, who solved the serial murder case within 24 hours, has already begun to think about what to do to make himself, Roan, Lacey and others be punished less after the case fails.


    Roan didn''t know what was going on in Augustus''s mind, but he saw the expressionless black face on the other side, thinking that Augustus was dissatisfied with Verinis''s arrangement, he pondered for a moment and wanted to speak, and Verinis on the phone Si''s voice came again:


    "At the press conference in 30 minutes, I will issue a warrant for the murderer of this serial murder case, with a bounty of 100,000 U.S. dollars."


    100,000?


    Thinking of some clues in his mind, Roan''s eyes brightened, and he promised with justice on his face:


    "Don''t worry, sir, I will definitely catch the real culprit within the specified time!"


    Augustus: "."


    ��


    On the other side, on the road back to New York from Washington, a dark car was driving fast under bright street lights.


    After reading the information in his hand, the corners of Brosen''s mouth slightly raised in a black suit, he raised his head and smiled at the driver:


    "Matthews, you did a good job. By the way, how did you arrange that Joseph?"


    The driver, Matthews, is the captain of the No. 1 investigation team in the No. 1 investigation team. He has followed Bruosen for ten years.


    From this, we can also see how thin the number of investigation team No. 5 is. There are several investigation teams in the investigation team No. 1


    Now Brosen has been promoted to be the team supervisor. If nothing else happens, Matthews will be the No. 1 investigation team leader in the future.


    Hearing what Brosen said, Matthews replied with a smile:


    "That Joseph is a street reporter, and he was often beaten up because of the secret filming of the news, so I promised him that after finishing this matter, I would give him a one-year temporary detective status."


    It��s just a temporary agent. If something happens, it��s not an agent, and it has nothing to do with the FBI.


    Because of work content, sometimes it is normal to go missing.


    "Good."


    Bruosen nodded in satisfaction. He was very relieved of Matthews''s work, so he continued to ask:


    "What''s the current situation with the No. 5 investigation team? Is there any clue about the serial murder case?"


    "Not yet, sir."


    Referring to the No. 5 investigation team, Matthews showed a disdainful expression on his face, and then explained:


    "I learned from the Trace Inspection Department that at the scene where the two victims were decomposed, except for half of the fingerprints, no other information related to the murderer was found."


    Bruosen nodded upon hearing this. The difficulty of solving the case has risen several levels, especially since this is a serial murder case.


    After thinking about it, Bruosen asked again:


    "Let your people always pay attention to the movements of the No. 5 investigation team, especially that Roan Greenwood."


    Except for Roan, Brosen doesn''t think the rest of the No. 5 investigation team has the ability to solve the case.


    "I have sent someone there, sir, and I will know if the other party makes any moves."


    Matthews showed confidence that everything was under control, and said:


    "As long as I''m here, this case will never be solved within 24 hours!"


    "very good!"


    Bruosen showed a look of relief, turned his head to look out the car window, and began to guess that the serial murder case had not been solved after 24 hours, and when he snatched five investigation teams from Verinisi, what was on Verinisi''s face? what expression.


    "It must be wonderful"


    Bruosen''s eyes flickered coldly, talking to himself.


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection!

 Chapter 28： credit card!

    Chapter 28 Credit Cards!


    "What, Vernis asked to catch the murderer within 24 hours?"


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, upon hearing Roan''s words, the eyes of the two beauties, Lacey and Mona, instantly widened, and they covered their mouths in disbelief:


    "And get suspended if you fail?"


    "It''s not a suspension, it''s a resignation."


    Roan beckoned, motioned for Lacey to hand over the investigation reports of the two crime scenes to him, yawned and said nonchalantly:


    "Don''t worry, Mona, I''m the only one who resigned. The rest of you will be suspended at most, or your salary will be suspended for a few months."


    "Salary stopped?"


    Hearing this sentence, Mona jumped up on the spot, startling everyone present. Before Roan and Lacey could speak, Mona reached out and grabbed Roan''s shoulder, and asked anxiously:


    "What about the bonus we got for catching the shooter?"


    Roan blinked and teased:


    "It should not be posted anymore."


    Mona closed her eyes when she heard the words, fell backwards and collapsed on the chair.


    Everyone: "."


    Roan almost laughed out loud, and stretched out his hand to wake Mona, but in the next second, Mona opened her eyes by herself, with an angry expression on her face, she turned around the chair and began to dance her ten fingers on the keyboard:


    "serial killer,****"


    A lot of greetings came out of Mona''s mouth, and Roan, who was sitting by the side, was a little taken aback. Seeing this, Lacey reluctantly took out a piece of paper from her desk and handed it to Roan, saying:


    "Mona bought a small apartment with a loan, and just signed the contract this morning."


    Seeing the information about the apartment, Roan was a little speechless.


    In the morning, he saw Mona sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard. He thought that Mona was invading some program. It turned out that he was looking for the relevant information of the apartment.


    Shaking their heads and throwing the paper aside, Roan and Lacey began to carefully examine the site inspection report of the two bodies found.


    Inspector Nair of the Trace Inspection Department stated in the report that according to the rough degree of freezing of the body parts, the victim Roan found was the second victim, and the time of death was roughly judged to be within two to three days.


    The victim discovered by Ryder was named victim No. 1, and the time of death should have been more than a month.


    In the two crime scenes, the place where the murderer dismembered the body was the kitchen. After simply cleaning up the traces with water, he smashed the perfume in the victim''s house on the kitchen floor, trying to cover up the smell of blood.


    In addition, Nell''s colleagues also found many toys, clothing, and tied ropes in the bedrooms of the two victims'' homes.


    It is preliminarily judged that the two victims were tortured with those things by the murderer for a period of time before they died.


    In addition, Nell''s colleagues found half of the fingerprints in the bathroom of the No. 2 victim''s home, and they have been searched in the fingerprint database.


    After reading the report, Roan threw it aside casually, and began to close his eyes and meditate.


    "I checked the surveillance near the homes of the two victims."


    The computer keyboard crackled, and Mona''s tone was very unhappy:


    "Nothing was found, there is no Internet connection. It is better to send some detective to visit the site to see if there is any surveillance, and then bring the video back."


    Lacey nodded, but as soon as she took out the phone, Roan waved her to stop her, then opened his eyes and looked at Mona and said:


    "Mona, check the credit card usage records of the two victims immediately."


    "OK."


    Mona turned around and continued typing on the keyboard, while Lacey thought of something, tilted her head and asked:


    "Do you think the murderer used two of the victims'' credit cards to make purchases?"


    Roan nodded and said:


    "This possibility cannot be ruled out. You also saw in the crime scene inspection report that there were many toys in the bedrooms of the two victims'' homes. There is a high probability that those things were not bought by the victims themselves."


    "Why not?"


    Lacey was still a little puzzled:


    "In Sabina''s apartment, aren''t there a lot of toys under the bed? The murderer went there to get them."


    "That''s because Sabina is rich, Lacey."


    Roan took the investigation report, pointed to the content inside and explained:


    "The economic level of the two victims is average, but the toys are all well-known brands and expensive."


    "this"


    Lacey was at a loss for words, and wanted to say that it was normal for a woman to be nice to herself, but the price of some toys in the photos was close to four figures, she opened her mouth and still didn''t say anything.


    "found it!"


    The sound of typing on the keyboard suddenly stopped, and Mona pointed to the data on the computer and said excitedly:


    ��The credit card shows that it was used to purchase a number of toys during the time the investigative report stated that the victim was in captivity.��


    Lacey moved her head closer to the computer, and she saw the consumption records of credit card purchases for toys. She lamented how fast Roan''s mind was, but when she turned her head, she found that Roan was walking towards the conference room.


    In the conference room, Augustus was comforting the emotional Mr. Darren.


    Pushing open the door, Roan didn''t talk nonsense, looking directly at Darren, who was blushing, and asked:


    "Mr. Darren, I have found clues about your wife, and I hope you can cooperate."


    "OK!"


    Compared to Augustus''s **** face, Roan''s ordinary handsome face looked more comfortable. Hearing Roan''s words, Darren walked out of the room without any hesitation, and asked:


    "What do I need to do? Sabina has been missing for 13 hours! I don''t want to wait any longer!"


    Roan simply comforted the other party with a few words, saying that he could understand the other party, and then asked the bank where Sabina''s credit card was handled, and thus obtained Sabina''s credit card usage records.


    Nothing.


    "The last usage record was three days ago."


    Mona pointed to the information on the computer and said:


    "It shows that Sabina bought a dress, and then there is no consumption record."


    Looking at the five-figure price of the dress, Mona gritted her teeth.


    Augus and Darren, who got the cause and effect from Lacey, looked ugly after hearing what Mona said.


    Turning their heads to look at Luo An, they found that Luo An had such an expression on his face, and the two immediately made up their minds.


    Needless to say why Augustus felt at ease, he knew what Roan was capable of.


    But Darren''s reasons for peace of mind are somewhat complicated.


    From being questioned by Roan at the very beginning, being arrested by Roan, and locked in the interrogation room, to learning about his wife Sabina''s wonderful private life from Roan''s mouth, and finally having to ask Roan to find his wife, maybe this is CPU it.


    Seeing that everyone around was looking at him, Roan twitched the corner of his mouth, pulled Darren into the meeting room, and whispered:


    "Mr. Darren, I now suspect that your wife has a credit card that you don''t know about. I hope you can immediately call the bank you suspect and ask for information about that credit card."


    Darren: "."


    How many times? How much did his wife Sabina hide from herself?


    After thinking about it, he also hid some things, so Darren took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said in a somewhat blunt tone:


    "Give me a few minutes, thank you."


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, turned and walked out of the conference room, and found that Augustus and others were all looking up at the TV at the front of the conference room.


    The press conference of the team leader Vernis officially began.


    Please recommend! Please recommend!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 29： new leads

    Chapter 29 new clues


    The location of this press conference is a meeting room on the first floor of the Jacob Federal Building.


    In the brightly lit room, a large group of reporters held pens and paper, and cameras, looking at Vernis standing in front of the conference room with burning eyes.


    Verinis today is wearing a professional suit, with very long trousers that make her waist look high, and a white shirt that makes her waist look very slender.


    Not only that, Vernis also put on a little makeup. Although there was no expression on her face, the special temperament that a mature woman can have still rushed to her face.


    Many male reporters present had their eyes brightened, and they raised their hands faster than the female colleagues around them.


    Female reporters: "."


    ��


    "OK, agents."


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Augustus greeted a few times, pulled the attention of all the agents back from Vernis who was talking on TV, and said loudly:


    "Everyone work hard tonight, we must find and catch this murderer as quickly as possible! Of course, I will pay overtime."


    After speaking, Augustus ordered all the agents to perform their duties, to investigate the video, to check the information, and finally turned his attention to Roan and Mona.


    The two were discussing something with their heads down.


    "Roan, any ideas?"


    Augustus asked.


    Roan looked away from Mona''s computer, pointed to the meeting room and said:


    "I suspect that the murderer used Sabina''s hidden credit card, so Mr. Darren is calling to ask about this card."


    Augus was thoughtful, and just about to speak, the phone rang suddenly.


    "Hi, I''m Augustus."


    Hanging up the phone, Augustus''s **** face darkened a bit, and he said to Roan and others:


    "It''s the phone number from the fingerprint library. The comparison of the fingerprint found in the bathroom at the crime scene failed, and the owner of the fingerprint cannot be found in the fingerprint library."


    Mona''s complexion instantly collapsed, and Lacey''s complexion was also not very good-looking.


    This situation is normal. After all, only those who have committed crimes will be required to enter their fingerprints. It is impossible to find the fingerprints of normal people in the fingerprint database.


    Augus and Mona also knew this fact, but before the final result came out, no one had any expectations.


    "Don''t worry."


    Roan picked up the crime scene inspection report and looked at it, comforting everyone:


    "There is still a credit card clue."


    "Exactly!"


    Mona''s eyes lit up:


    "As long as the other party has used a credit card, I can definitely retrieve the information used by the other party!"


    After hearing Roan and Mona''s words, Lacey and Augustus also came out of the haze of fingerprint failure.


    A few minutes later, Darren pushed open the door of the conference room and walked out. He did not disappoint everyone''s expectations. He said directly:


    "I got a credit card from Sabina''s secretary."


    "Very good!"


    Mona cheered, waving her fingers, and immediately began to investigate the credit card usage records based on the information Darren said.


    "Agent Roan."


    Mona tapped the keyboard and everyone could only wait. Darren turned his attention to Luo An, who was analyzing the data, and asked very worriedly:


    "How is Sabina now? Will her life be in danger?"


    How do I know this?


    Roan was a little helpless. He was not a murderer, so he could only comfort Darren a few words. At this moment, Mona''s excited voice came over:


    "Everyone! Just sixteen hours ago, this credit card was used!"


    "What?"


    "Where?"


    Everyone present hastily turned their eyes to Mona''s computer, only to hear Mona typing on the keyboard while saying:


    "Sixteen hours ago, this credit card refueled the car at the gas station in the No. 19 area of ??the Third National Highway!"


    "Sixteen hours, exactly when Sabina disappeared."


    Roan and August Qiqi turned their heads to look at Darren, and Darren said hurriedly:


    "Sabina and I have never been in that direction! And our husband and wife have never refueled the car, and the secretary is responsible for these tasks!"


    Roan: "."


    Augus turned his head and hurriedly said to Mona:


    "Call out the surveillance video of that gas station immediately!"


    "I''m tuning in!"


    Mona''s sound of typing on the keyboard never stopped. A few seconds later, she cursed a word beginning with f, turned her head and said to Augustus:


    "The monitoring of the gas station has been broken for a month, and I couldn''t see the situation at that time."


    "What about the monitoring of national highways?"


    Lacey moved to the side of the computer and asked:


    "There are surveillance cameras at the entrance and exit of the national highway."


    "I''ve checked what you said."


    Mona slumped on the chair, pointed at the computer screen and said speechlessly:


    "This month, the No. 19 area of ??the Third National Highway is undergoing large-scale repairs, and the cameras have been removed."


    "Fu-k!"


    Hearing the news, Augustus and Lacey Qiqi cursed, Augustus turned and pointed to a certain agent next to him and said:


    "You immediately drive to the gas station and ask the boss about the situation this morning."


    "Okay, sir."


    The detective immediately turned around and left.


    Just as the agent left the office area, Ryder, who had been investigating clues outside, finally came back, walked up to Augustus and said:


    "Sir, the family members of the victims of the new serial murder case have arrived. When will we make the record?"


    Call the family members of the victim. In addition to claiming the body, you also need to ask them briefly. Maybe you can find some useful clues to catch the murderer.


    "Going right now."


    Time was running out, Augustus got up and wanted to take Roan to go with him, but found Roan sitting on a chair, staring at the document in his hand, frowning and thinking.


    "I''ll go, sir."


    Seeing Roan''s state, Lacey hurriedly got up and said that she could take the record, but Augustus reached out to stop her movement, and asked Ryder to contact the victim''s family first, and stay and wait for Roan.


    Anyway, the family members of the victim have to claim the body first, and it��s not too late.


    Ryder had been kicked out of the office less than a minute after returning to the office.


    Roan didn''t notice what Augustus and the others did just now. After confirming that the murderer had used Sabina''s credit card, Roan had been thinking about a question:


    What was the killer''s pattern of behavior?


    Analyzing a person''s behavior pattern is a project specially taught by the old killer in his previous life when he trained Luo An. This project extends from the behavior analysis taught in the police academy.


    The difference is that the behavior analysis in the police academy mainly analyzes the murderer''s psychology by analyzing the murderer''s actions, so as to determine the general image of the murderer, such as height, weight, personality, hobbies, etc., and finally use these clues to narrow down and identify the murderer. Range, catch the murderer.


    But the old killer taught Roan to analyze other people''s behavior patterns, mainly for him to analyze the target person''s habitual behavior, habitual thoughts, small movements, and subconscious movements. In order to find the moment when the target person relaxes his vigilance the most, or the most suitable place to do it, complete a one-hit kill.


    Many principles in the world are interlinked. It is used to find the behavioral analysis of the timing of the target person''s attack. Thinking from another angle, it can actually analyze the behavioral inertia of the murderer.


    A person''s behavioral inertia is usually subconscious behavior, and subconscious behavior is usually difficult to change.

 Chapter 30： Usage of the toy

    Chapter 30 Use of toys


    "Roan, what do you think?"


    Hearing Augustus'' voice, Roan stopped thinking in his mind, looked up and found that Mona, Lacey and others were looking at him, and without hesitation, he directly talked about his analysis:


    "Is such that."


    Roan signaled Lacey to take Mr. Darren into the meeting room to rest first, and the next words are not suitable for the other party to listen to.


    Putting the crime scene report and the brief information of the two victims on the table, Roan said:


    "First of all, the murderer has the habit of using toys to torture the other party for a period of time after kidnapping a woman. This can be seen from the use of toys at the crime scene."


    Augus and Mona took the crime scene report, which showed that the toys had been used, and some of them were broken, so they must have been used for a long time.


    Lacey returned to her seat, Augustus and Mona also nodded in agreement with her, and Roan continued:


    "So based on this, it can be inferred that Sabina''s life will not be in danger in the short term after she was kidnapped, because judging from the previous use of the toy, the victim was tortured for at least five days."


    "Isn''t that too arbitrary?"


    Augustus frowned and asked:


    "This possibility is very high before the news is reported, but after the news is reported, will the murderer choose to kill him directly in a hurry."


    Hearing from Roan that the murderer likes to torture victims with toys, Lacey and Mona both looked disgusted and disgusted. After hearing what Augustus said, Lacey also asked:


    "That''s right, the murderer has already dismembered two victims, so killing another person may not be difficult for him."


    Roan shook his head: "You are wrong about one thing. The murderer probably dismembered more than two victims."


    He pointed to several photos in the crime scene report and said:


    "Look carefully at the condition of the corpse. Although there are serious frost marks on it, it is not difficult to see that the murderer dismembered the other party according to the joints of the human body, rather than cutting the bones directly with a knife. This shows that the murderer has some basic knowledge about the joints of the human body. learn.


    Or, he has dismembered too many times and has already gained experience. "


    Mona covered her mouth, and Lacey''s face was a little ugly, but she continued to analyze Roan''s words:


    "So the murderer was a doctor?"


    "uncertain."


    Roan shook his head: "Veterinarians, butchers, forensic doctors, farmers, etc. are all possible."


    Seeing that Mona''s face was getting uglier, Roan took those photos back into his hands, and continued:


    "As for why the murderer will most likely not choose to silence the news after seeing the news, this is the second point I want to say: because the murderer doesn''t care."


    Augus frowned: "What do you mean?"


    "Nothing interesting, just don''t care."


    Roan took out a pen to circle an area on the document, threw it to Augustus, and explained:


    "Note that the murderer did not carefully clean the kitchen where he dismembered the victim, and at the same time ostentatiously placed the body parts in the refrigerator instead of taking them away and throwing them away. These all show that the murderer actually hopes that someone will find out what he has done."


    "FU-K!"


    Mona scolded in a low voice: "What a pervert! What is in this guy''s mind?"


    "who knows?"


    Lacey very much agrees with Mona''s evaluation of the murderer, he is a pervert and a lunatic.


    Augus also agreed with Lacey''s evaluation of the murderer, and at the same time continued to analyze following Roan''s words:


    "From this point of view, the killer is very arrogant, so even if he sees the news, he won''t kill Sabina in the short term, because he doesn''t think we can find him, right?"


    Roan nodded, and gave Augustus a childish look: "Yes, your analysis is quite right."


    Augus proudly puffed out his chest. It seems that he is not slow in thinking, and he still has a talent for solving crimes.


    Wait a minute, who is the captain here?


    Before Augustus could get angry, Mona and Lacey looked at each other and asked a question:


    "But, what''s the use of analyzing these things? The fingerprint comparison failed. Now we don''t know who the murderer is or where he is hiding."


    Augus turned his attention to Roan again after hearing the words. He believed that Roan must still have ideas.


    Not disappointing Augustus'' enthusiastic eyes, Roan explained while looking down at the report in his hand:


    "You are right. What I just said is just to make sure that Sabina''s life is not in danger for the time being. The next analysis is related to the murderer''s whereabouts."


    The meaning in the words is very simple, the big one is yet to come.


    Mona and Lacey immediately sat upright when they heard this, and Augustus also increased his concentration.


    "The first point."


    Roan took out the two credit card photos found at the scene of the crime, placed them next to Mona''s computer, and said with a serious face:


    "The murderer used the victim''s credit card to buy toys every time. Just now Mona also found out that Sabina''s credit card had been used. This is a habitual behavior of the murderer."


    The three of them nodded in unison. The evidence is solid, and Roan''s analysis is correct.


    "Second point."


    Roan took out the vehicle usage records of the two victims and placed them next to Mona''s computer again:


    "After kidnapping the first victim, the murderer used the first victim''s car to buy toys. After kidnapping the second victim, he used the second victim''s car to buy toys while the killer was heading to SA. Bina was also driving the second victim''s car when she stole toys and clothes from her apartment."


    Hearing Roan''s analysis, Augustus''s eyes flickered, and he said:


    "But the car of the second victim stayed in the garage, and the report shows that they didn''t find any clues in the car."


    Mona was dizzy and didn''t react, and asked:


    "So what? What does this have to do with the murderer?"


    After understanding Roan''s analysis, Lacey put her arms around Mona''s slender waist and said with some excitement:


    "This shows that the car used by the murderer to kidnap Sabina is most likely Sabina''s own car! As long as we find Sabina''s car, we can find the murderer!"


    "So it is!"


    Mona suddenly realized, remembering that the cars driven by Darren and Sabina were more expensive than the other, Mona suddenly came to life:


    "As long as Mr. Darren tells me the information of Sabina''s vehicle, I can locate her in three minutes!"


    Augus was very excited. Didn''t expect to find the murderer so quickly?


    Roan: "."


    Seeing a few people who got excited for no reason, Roan coughed twice to attract their attention, spread his hands and said:


    "Have you forgotten one thing, we have investigated the cars in Sabina and Darren''s villas before, and there is no shortage."


    Three people: "."


    Mona did not give up and asked:


    "Is it possible that like a credit card, Sabina has a car that Darren doesn''t know about?"


    Roan was speechless, but it was not impossible. Who knew how much Sabina had hidden from Darren.


    "You can ask Mr. Darren later, but we can''t have too many illusions about that car. Searching the car based on the surveillance video is too time-consuming. We don''t have much time to spend, and the murderer is very likely to throw the car away. Lose."


    Didn''t spend much time on this issue, Roan continued:


    "The car is not important, what is important is this behavior, which is a kind of inertial behavior."


    Please recommend! Please recommend!

 Chapter 31： killer serial killer

    Chapter 31 Killer��Serial Killer


    "So, what do you mean?"


    Mona and Lacey felt a little confused, and didn''t understand the meaning of Luo An''s words.


    Augus on the side leaned on his chin thoughtfully.


    Roan put together several files next to Mona''s computer, pointed to them one by one and said:


    "Please note that after kidnapping the victim, the murderer habitually uses the victim''s credit card to buy toys, tortures the victim at the victim''s home, and habitually uses the previous victim''s car to observe the next victim, and finally uses New victim''s car kidnaps new victim."


    ��.��


    Following Roan''s fingers to check the documents one by one, Lacey seemed to understand something, only Mona hadn''t reacted yet, she tilted her head in doubt:


    "So what? Roan, what are you trying to say?"


    "He wants to say that the murderer''s actions and behavior after kidnapping Sabina will also follow his own habits!"


    Augus suddenly realized, Lacey also clapped her hands:


    "After the murderer kidnapped Sabina, he must have gone where he used to go!"


    "Exactly!"


    Roan gave the two of them a look of ''you are good'', and then explained:


    "You see, after the murderer kidnapped the first victim, he tortured him in the home of the first victim and did not take the victim away. After kidnapping the second victim, he was also in the bedroom of the second victim''s home Tortured opponent. Then."


    Mona finally understood now, and followed Roan''s words with bright eyes and said:


    "So after the murderer kidnapped Sabina, it is very likely that he chose to go to Sabina''s home and torture Sabina in the bedroom!"


    Roan nodded. If a person''s behavior habits are not consciously and forcibly corrected, then it will basically not change in a person''s life.


    It��s like eating alone. Some people subconsciously take a bite of food first, and some people subconsciously take a bite of rice first.


    These are all subconscious habitual behaviors.


    The murderer this time is a serial killer, and all serial killers in the world have one characteristic: they like to repeat a certain action many times.


    For example, tie a certain knot, write certain letters, draw certain patterns, and bury the body in a specific location. These are all habitual behaviors.


    The behavior analysis course in the police academy is used to teach students to analyze the psychology of the murderer, portray the portrait of the murderer, and use it to figure out and catch the murderer.


    Roan didn''t learn those standard courses, and he was a killer in his previous life, so he couldn''t analyze the psychology of a perverted serial killer.


    A killer who gets paid to do things is not the same thing as a serial killer who kills everywhere.


    But Luo An can find the habitual movements of the murderer, and speculate what the murderer will do next and how he will act.


    "To catch the murderer."


    After the analysis, Lacey went to the conference room and brought Mr. Darren out. Augustus said directly:


    "Mr. Darren, call your landline right now and ask if there is anything unusual there."


    Sabina''s disappearing villa in Greenwich is just a honeymoon place. Darren and Sabina''s real home is on the Upper East Side of New York.


    That large area is inhabited by rich people.


    "No!"


    Before Darren, who was full of question marks, asked questions, Roan stopped Augustus and said:


    "The murderer can''t be there."


    Augustus slapped his head before he could react.


    In places like the Upper East Side that are full of wealthy people, the New York police can''t wait to patrol once a minute. If something unusual happened there, the police would have found out and reported it.


    "Where is the murderer?"


    Mona and Lacey tilted their heads and asked, should they search all the villas owned by Sabina and his wife?


    "No, don''t bother."


    Roan shook his head, turned his gaze to Darren, and after briefly explaining the analysis to Darren who had no idea what happened, Roan asked:


    "Mr. Darren, besides the villa in Greenwich that you plan to use for your honeymoon, is there any house that has special meaning to your Sabina?


    Or which house is the house that you and Sabina don''t often live in, but subconsciously think of it when chatting in daily life? "


    Hearing that his wife was probably not killed yet, Darren heaved a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face relaxed a little, and then he hurriedly thought about the question Roan asked.


    "Bear Mountain State Park North of the Hudson River!"


    After a while, Darren clapped his hands and said in a deep voice:


    "There is a forest cabin not far from the park, where Sabina and I played poker for the first time! It is also the place where we formally established our relationship and I formally proposed to Sabina!"


    ��.��


    The cabin in the woods sounds unlucky.


    Roan was very speechless, but it was not the time to complain, so he immediately turned to Augustus and said:


    "Sir, I''m going to the hut right now."


    Augus did not refuse, and said at the same time:


    "Lacey, you go with him, contact me immediately if you encounter a situation, and I will send the swat action team to support."


    It is still uncertain whether the murderer is hiding in the forest hut, and the swat operation team can only act after confirming accurate information.


    "Okay, sir."


    Lacey got up to follow Roan, when Darren suddenly followed:


    "I''ll go with you too."


    ��.��


    Looking at Darren who was sitting in the SUV with Lacey, Roan really didn''t know what was going on with him.


    I love Sabina so much, so after hearing the news, I hope I can see Sabina sooner, but I still don��t want to see the news of Sabina��s death, because he can only get 300,000 yuan after Sabina��s death.


    "never mind."


    Wearing combat uniforms, tactical helmets, plate carrying vests, smoke bombs, shock bombs, two submachine guns Glock 18, and a few extended magazines, Roan sat in the driver''s seat of the SUV and looked at it seriously. The rearview mirror said to Darren:


    "Mr. Darren, after arriving at the cabin in the woods, Lacey and I went down to check the situation. You must not get out of the car, OK?"


    "I know."


    Darren sat upright, expressing that he knew the danger:


    "Don''t worry, I won''t go out while sitting in the car, and I will definitely not let myself become a hostage in the hands of the murderer."


    ��.��


    Hearing Darren''s words of planting the flag, Roan rolled his eyes, but this is not important, he has plenty of ways to make Darren stay where he is.


    The hut in the forest is a bit far from the FBI New York headquarters here, and it takes a full 1.5 hours to drive. Roan no longer hesitated, and rushed out of the SUV with a kick of the accelerator.


    Hearing Mona''s instructions to her in the office before, Lacey, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was still a little disapproving. It''s not that she has never been in a car driven by Roan, she feels that her skills are average, and it is not as scary as Mona said.


    But now seeing the receding streetlights on both sides of the road, Lacey gasped, fastened her seat belt silently, and saw Darren with a pale face. After a moment of hesitation, she tilted her head and asked:


    "Roan, there is still time, why don''t you slow down?"


    Roan returned her meaningful look:


    "Don''t worry, don''t look at me driving fast, but it''s also very stable."


    The next second, the pitch-black SUV, like a black lightning, rushed straight towards the intersection full of parked vehicles waiting for the traffic lights!


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 32： Impossible to find the murderer so quickly!

    Chapter 32 It is impossible to find the murderer so quickly!


    On the other side, when the SUV was leaving the parking lot of the FBI New York branch, a white youth in a suit and glasses came out from behind a car.


    "Sir, it''s me, Jock."


    The white youth took out his mobile phone and pressed a series of numbers. After a few seconds, the other party answered. He hurriedly said:


    "Roan, who I was in charge of monitoring, left the headquarters with Agent Lacey and Mr. Darren. What should I do next?"


    The person on the other end of the phone is Matthews. At this time, he is attending a small reception held by Brosen. After hearing what his subordinate Jock said, he put down the wine in his hand, looked at Brosen who was giving a speech, and said calmly:


    "Follow Roan immediately."


    "Okay, sir."


    Jock nodded, but then suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a few seconds and asked:


    "What about the previously planned reporters? Sir? Do you want to notify them?"


    Not long ago, Brosen sent Matthews to secretly tell Joseph some of the serial murder case, and after Joseph sent it to the TV station, Matthews felt that it was not safe to wait for Verinis to solve the case after 24 hours.


    So Matthews contacted some reporters, preparing to let those reporters follow in the footsteps of the No. 5 investigation team, and show the failed investigation process of the No. 5 investigation team to the audience in front of the TV.


    Matthews did not tell Brosen about this, he planned to give Brosen a surprise.


    Hearing his subordinate''s inquiry, Matthews immediately replied:


    "Notify! Why not? Do you think Roan and the others can find the murderer?"


    "Of course not, sir."


    Jock opened the car door and sat in the driver''s seat, laughing:


    "This is a serial murder case. It''s less than an hour before the end of the press conference. Roan and the others don''t have God''s help. How could they find the murderer so quickly?!"


    "That''s right."


    Matthews nodded, drank the wine in the glass and said:


    "Let''s do this first, and report at any time if there is something to do."


    After hanging up the phone, Joker pressed another number and called the reporter he had contacted before. After explaining the situation briefly, he turned the steering wheel and drove the car in the direction Roan had just left.


    He previously installed a tracker under the chassis of Roan''s SUV.


    At the small reception, Brosen, who had finished his speech, held a glass of wine and was chatting with an elderly white man with silver hair.


    After briefly thanking the other party for coming to his reception, Brosen turned and walked towards another person. When he saw Matthews beside him, he beckoned him to come over.


    "What''s the matter, sir?"


    Seeing Bruosen''s actions, Matthews hurriedly apologized to the beautiful girl in front of him, walked to Bruosen''s side, and asked in a low voice:


    "Any plans?"


    Brosen smiled and patted Matthews on the shoulder, saying:


    "Don''t be nervous, I just saw you were on the phone just now, did something happen?"


    Matthews was relieved to hear this, and laughed:


    "It''s not a big deal. My subordinate just told me that Roan Greenwood of the No. 5 investigation team has gone out to find clues, and he is going to follow him."


    "I will leave this matter to you."


    Bruosen showed a look of surprise, but he didn''t take this matter to heart.


    The reason is very simple. The press conference has just ended, and he doesn''t think Roan can find the murderer so soon. This trip is nothing more than finding a clue to investigate.


    He patted Matthews on the shoulder, indicating that he was solely responsible for this matter, and then under Matthews'' surprised eyes, Brosen led him to an old white man in a suit, with a serious face and a big bald head. .


    "Mr. Ma Tai, good evening, thank you for attending my reception tonight, this is Matthews, my capable subordinate."


    "Mr. Congressman, hello."


    Matthews was very pleasantly surprised. Congressman Mattai is a strong contender for the governor of New York. He never expected that the other party would appear at Brosen''s reception, and Brosen would introduce himself to him.


    Hearing Bruosen''s introduction, Councilor Ma Tai tilted his head and glanced at Bruosen.


    Seeing the corners of Bruosen''s mouth slightly raised, the corners of Councilor Ma Tai''s mouth slowly raised, with a strange light shining in his eyes, he reached out and shook Matthews, with a kind tone:


    "Hello, Matthews."


    On the other side, after the press conference was over, Vernis stayed in the office of the special agent supervisor (superior of the team supervisor) for a long time before turning to the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    Pushing open the door of the office area, Verniss nodded unobtrusively when she found that the agents of the No. 5 investigation team were busy in the office area.


    Let��s not talk about whether you can solve the case, at least your work attitude is okay.


    "Sir."


    Sitting in Roan''s position and analyzing the documents, Augustus saw Verinisi and hurriedly got up to greet him. Vernisi asked directly:


    "How is the progress of the case?"


    That''s the question, but Verinis didn''t expect Augustus and the others to give any useful clues. After all, the press conference has just ended, so finding the murderer now is a real challenge.


    "Roan has gone to arrest the murderer, sir."


    "???"


    Hearing what Augustus said, the cold expression on Vernis''s face almost didn''t tense. After taking a few deep breaths, her mood completely cooled down, and she asked in a bad tone:


    "You''re kidding me?"


    "No, sir."


    Augus�� big dark face was full of seriousness, which made Verinisi stunned. Before she could continue to ask questions, Augustus picked up the documents on Roan��s desk and introduced to Verinisi:


    "It happened like this, murderer"


    After listening to Augustus'' explanation, Vernis was a little dazed. After a long silence, she tilted her head and asked:


    "Do you trust Roan Greenwood''s judgment so much?"


    Augus spread his hands, what can he do, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team is talented, but the only one who really has the brains and ability to solve the case is Roan. If you don��t believe him, who will you trust?


    "And we didn''t do any investigation except waiting for Roan''s news."


    Beckoning to ask the detective behind him to move a chair for Vernis, Augustus pointed to Mona and the others and said:


    "They were checking the track and monitoring of the victims before they disappeared, investigating the relationship between the two victims, and Ryder was asking the family members of the two victims."


    Several directions of investigation that should be investigated to solve the case, all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team have done it. Vernis was silent for a moment, then got up and walked to Augustus''s team leader''s office:


    "Roan has news, tell me immediately."


    "OK."


    Walking into the office, Verenes locked the door behind her and took out her cell phone to make a few calls.


    Bruesen obviously came prepared this time, but Vernis had worked so hard in the FBI for so many years before she climbed up to the position of team supervisor as a woman. She said nothing this time could be defeated by Bruosen.


    "Good evening, I''m Vernis."


    On the other side, when they saw that the intersection ahead was firmly blocked by a bunch of cars, but the speed of the SUV was still accelerating uncontrollably, both Lacey and Darren turned pale:


    "Shit! Going to crash!"


    "Are you crazy? Roan? Hit the brakes! Move your legs!"


    Please recommend! Please recommend!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 33： 15 hours by car

    Chapter 33 1.5 hours by car


    Hearing Lacey asked him to move his legs, Roan blinked, moved his legs, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.


    When he arrived at the intersection immediately, Roan slammed the steering wheel, and a burst of scorched black smoke rose from the ground. With Darren''s screams, the dark SUV circled the waiting cars at the intersection in a strange arc, and drove into the intersection. In the center of the mouth, he rushed out to the left.


    Lacey, who was sitting in the co-pilot, clenched her teeth and tried not to scream, but was driven by the centrifugal force of the car drifting, and sat down on Roan''s right leg.


    Then Lacey found out in horror that Roan didn''t take his foot off the accelerator at all.


    "Roan, you."


    Before Lacey could speak, Roan had found the best route, threw Lacey back to the co-pilot, held the steering wheel with both hands, and shouted:


    "Passengers, please pay attention, I''m going to speed up!"


    "WTF?!"


    "Shit! Isn''t that already the fastest speed?"


    Darren shouted with a dry throat and difficulty breathing, Lacey''s face was pale, Roan looked down at the pointer of the speedometer, since it has not reached the end, it is not the fastest speed.


    No more hesitation, Roan shifted gears with his right hand and stepped on the fuel tank at the same time. Amidst the restless roar of the engine, the SUV sprang out like an arrow from the string, heading straight to the distant future.


    At the same time, Agent Joker was sitting in the car holding the steering wheel, looking at the dark ruts on the ground, and then at the congested intersection ahead, with a dull expression and a little doubt about life.


    Suddenly, Jock''s cell phone rang, and after pressing the answer button, an eager female voice came from the opposite side:


    "Agent Joker, is the license plate number *** of the agent''s car you mentioned?"


    "Exactly."


    Jock nodded, he remembered who the other party was, the well-known field reporter of New York News, Linette.


    Linette was one of the high-level journalists contacted by Matthews.


    Hearing Jock''s affirmative answer, Linette hung up the phone without saying a word, lowered her head and wrote "FBI agents are blatantly speeding, disregarding the safety of others" in the small notebook, and then patted the photographer in charge of driving. Teacher, pointing with his right hand to the SUV moving forward like black lightning:


    "Follow that car! Tonight''s bonus is all up to him!"


    "OK!"


    Hearing the word "bonus", the photographer let out a strange cry, and immediately stepped on the accelerator and chased after the SUV.


    After a traffic light, they didn''t even see the rear of the SUV.


    Linette: "."


    Photographer: "."


    Forty minutes later.


    On a certain path in Bear Mountain State Park, North Hudson, Lacey leaned on her knees and bent over to vomit, and Darren was lying unconscious on the back seat of the car.


    Roan lifted his wrist, looked at the time on the watch, and shook his head disdainfully:


    "Augus said it would take 1.5 hours to get here from New York, how could it take that long?"


    ��.��


    Hearing Roan''s words, Lacey, who had recovered a little bit, had black lines all over her head. She tried her best not to take out her pistol and gave it to him. She wiped her mouth and took a deep breath before asking:


    "I''ll never ride in your car again in my life what''s next?"


    Roan tilted his head and glanced at the hut in the forest not far from here, took out the Glock 18 and opened the insurance, saying simply:


    "Secretly touch the past to see if the murderer is here."


    "OK."


    Lacey nodded, took out her pistol and followed Roan''s footsteps, and did not forget to close the SUV''s door before leaving here, but at the same time left a gap for the rear window of the SUV.


    Afraid that Darren would suffocate in the car.


    The hut in the woods that Darren mentioned is actually a small wooden two-story villa. It looks a little old on the outside, but the courtyard occupies a very wide area, and there is a small swimming pool filled with water in the southwest corner of the courtyard.


    Roan simply scanned for a week without finding the camera, and gestured to Lacey, and the two of them turned into the courtyard quietly.


    Entering the courtyard, a taxi that can be seen everywhere on the streets of New York is parked in the garage of the villa. The taxi door is open, and a red lady''s handbag is tilted on the back seat of the car. Seeing this, Lacey''s eyes flashed, and she whispered to Roan said:


    "It''s Sabina''s bag."


    While looking at Sabina''s information, Mona had led her to discuss the style of this bag for a long time, and Lacey was very impressed by this.


    Roan whispered to Lacey:


    "It seems that we have found the right place, the murderer should be here."


    Lacey was a little excited. She didn''t expect them to find the murderer so quickly. Just as she bent down and walked into the villa along the garage, Roan suddenly reached out and stopped her.


    "?"


    Lacey was puzzled, Roan moved his nose, stood in place and observed the taxi carefully, and found that the fuel tank cap of the taxi had disappeared.


    Following Roan''s guidance, Lacey also saw the missing fuel tank cap, and just about to ask questions, Roan suddenly jumped up on the spot and crushed her to the ground.


    boom! boom! boom!


    The taxi took these bullets for Roan and Lacey. Before the two could speak, several bullets hit the garage and the door of the villa. Roan took out the shock bomb from his waist without hesitation. Throw it in the direction of the gunshot.


    Boom!


    Glaring light and deafening noise sounded at the same time. Roan, who was ready for protection, got up the moment the sound ended, and rushed straight to the gate connecting the garage and the villa, but found no enemy.


    "FBI!"


    Before Roan searched the room, a man''s shout and a woman''s struggle suddenly came from the balcony on the second floor of the villa. Roan and Lacey walked towards the corner with guns in hand to prevent the other party from shooting themselves. The other party shouted:


    "Don''t even think about arresting me! Tell you guys! I filled my bedroom and balcony with gasoline! If you force your way into the room, I''ll go to **** with this woman!"


    "woo woo woo"


    Roan stood in a corner and carefully looked towards the balcony, only to see a woman in a hollowed-out dress with her mouth stuck with tape, her hands tied behind her back, and she kept whining and shaking her head.


    A man held a gun in his right hand against a woman''s head, while lowering his head and hiding his head tightly behind the woman''s back.


    Roan''s face was very ugly. He couldn''t find the shooting angle in this position and couldn''t kill the opponent.


    And the other party said that there was gasoline on the balcony, so he didn''t dare to use the shock bomb for the time being. The strong light produced when the shock bomb exploded had a high chance of igniting the gasoline in the room.


    This villa is still made of wood, so it would be troublesome if it caught fire.


    and Lacey looked at each other, motioning for the other party to call for help, Roan followed the murderer''s words and shouted:


    "Relax, buddy! I promise you, don''t break into the bedroom! You can make any demands! As long as you don''t hurt the hostages, everything is easy to talk about!"


    On the other side, Lacey hurried to the side of the villa, took out her mobile phone and called the headquarters.


    "This is Augustus."


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Augustus connected the phone and glanced down at his watch. Forty minutes had passed since Roan and the others set off.


    Based on the 1.5-hour drive, they should have just traveled one-third of the distance. .


    Is it because the car broke down when calling at this time?


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 34： news

    Chapter 34 News


    So Augustus asked calmly:


    "What''s the matter, Lacey, is there something wrong on the road?"


    "Sir, we have found the murderer!"


    Lacey''s first words made August spit out the coffee in his mouth, and then Lacey on the other end of the phone briefly introduced the current situation, and said with a serious face:


    "We need backup! The murderer has a gun and poured gasoline in the bedroom. Roan and I dare not shoot now!"


    "Fu-k!"


    After listening to Lacey''s words, Augustus jumped up from the chair, ignoring the surprised eyes of Mona and others, he said firmly:


    "I will notify the SWAT operation team to rush to the cabin in the woods! Hold on, don''t let the murderer escape!"


    "Okay, sir."


    Lacey nodded and hung up the phone. Augustus immediately told the news to Mona on the side, asking her to contact SWAT immediately, asking the other party to go to the location of the cabin in the woods as quickly as possible.


    Augus himself hurried to the team leader''s office, entered directly without knocking on the door, and said to Verinis with a solemn expression:


    "Sir, Roan and the others have found the murderer, and the two sides are confronting each other."


    Verinis, who was on the phone, was surprised when she heard this. After she realized it, she licked her lips, and her interest in Roan Greenwood, an agent, became a little higher.


    After saying a few words in a low voice and hanging up the phone, Verenice got up and walked towards the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, and said as she walked:


    "Contact SWAT immediately, I''m going with them."


    "SWAT is underway, sir."


    As soon as he heard this, Augustus was full of black lines, hurriedly stopped Verenice, and said:


    "And the place where the murderer is located is too far away from here, so it is not suitable for a press conference. Some equipment in the press conference room downstairs has not been dismantled just now. After Roan and the others catch the murderer, continue to use this room. The evaluation will be higher."


    Verinis paused when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but she immediately returned to her cold look, and nodded in agreement with Augustus''s proposal.


    Augustus heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and turned his head to look at Mona, who raised her hand to signal ''OK'', she has already contacted SWAT, and they have already set off for the hut in the forest, and they are expected to arrive in 40 minutes.


    Hung up the phone, Mona looked up at the clock in front of the office area, and found that less than three hours had passed since the previous press conference, and her eyes lit up.


    Thanks to Roan, his salary and bonus were kept.


    On the other side, just as Roan was using words in the villa to stabilize the murderer who had left the balcony and took Sabina to hide in the bedroom on the second floor, while waiting for an opportunity to make a phone call, a pale Darren suddenly appeared not far away. On the road, slowly walking towards the villa.


    "Fu-k!"


    Seeing Darren staggering towards here, Roan cursed in a low voice, then turned to look at Lacey.


    Lacey nodded, and immediately ran away from the villa in a blind spot where the murderer couldn''t see, grabbed Darren and pinned him to the ground.


    "what are you doing?"


    Darren was struggling wildly.


    "Mr. Darren, please hurry back to the car."


    Lacey was a little surprised. She didn''t expect that the other party''s physique was so good, and she recovered so quickly after being shaken so badly by Roan''s driving skills.


    "The murderer who kidnapped Sabina is here, right?"


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Darren quickly reacted, and immediately stopped struggling, and said to Sabina with a stern expression:


    "Please tell Detective Roan to rescue my wife as soon as possible! As long as the rescue is successful, I will pay a thank you money of 1 million U.S. dollars!"


    "1000000?!"


    Before Lacey could speak, a female reporter with long wine-red hair suddenly ran down from the car on the other side of the road with a man carrying a camera, and asked without further ado:


    "Mr. Darren, are you willing to pay the FBI so much thanks because you believe they can rescue your wife? Do you think the FBI has this capability?"


    "WTF?!"


    "and who are you?"


    Lacey and Darren turned their heads and looked at the woman who appeared suddenly, wondering where she came from.


    The visitor is none other than reporter Linette.


    After being thrown away by Roan''s SUV, she was both intimidating and tempting. She tried hard to get the location information of Roan''s SUV from Joker, and arrived near the forest hut before the other reporters arrived. highway.


    As soon as she arrived here, Linette heard the word ''1 million'' from Darren''s mouth. She was extremely sensitive to the news and ran to Darren and Lacey without saying a word, asking the question just now.


    Not only that, before Darren and Lacey could react, the sharp-eyed Linette saw Roan who was negotiating with the murderer in the villa, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she turned to give the cameraman a look.


    As Linette��s partner for many years, the cameraman has very rich on-the-spot experience. After taking out his mobile phone and pressing a certain number, he just said a few words, opened the front cover of the camera, and said calmly:


    "The live broadcast will start soon, three, two, one. Start!"


    "Good evening everyone, this is Linette Outdoor Reporter, there is a breaking news in my location."


    From Linette getting out of the car to ask questions, to starting the live news broadcast, the whole process was smooth and smooth. The time was less than 30 seconds, and Lacey had no time to react at all.


    By the time Lacey reacted and was about to ban Linette from broadcasting the news, the figure of Roan, who was negotiating with the murderer, had already been shown to thousands of households through the New York news channel.


    "Could it be another bank that was robbed?"


    "Probably not. Banks in New York are robbed every day, so it won''t be on the breaking news."


    The audience who hadn��t slept in front of the TV chatted a lot.


    After listening to Linette''s introduction, and knowing that this is a serial murder case, and only more than three hours have passed since the press conference of this serial murder case, the audience in front of the TV exploded. pot.


    "The murderer was found after only three hours? This is too ridiculous. Could it be someone looking for someone to take the blame?"


    "It''s not certain, the FBI has never done this kind of thing before!"


    "No, not this time!"


    "Why?"


    "Look at the FBI agent who is negotiating with the murderer, he is so handsome, how could he do the crime of pulling people to take the blame!"


    ��.��


    On the other side, at the small reception held by Brosen, the reception has slowly come to an end.


    After taking Matthews to pay a final visit to some big shots, Brosen took a sip of a glass of wine, moistened his throat, and prepared to go to the front to simply thank tonight''s guests.


    At this moment, a group of guests suddenly gathered around somewhere in the reception. Bruosen walked over with a light smile, clinked glasses with a certain female guest, and asked with a smile:


    "What are you looking at?"


    "Breaking news from a New York news channel."


    The female guest took a sip of her wine and laughed:


    "It said that an FBI agent from your New York branch found the serial killer announced at the press conference not long ago in just three hours."


    Browson: "???"


    Matthews: "!!"


    Please recommend! Please recommend!

 Chapter 35： heartbeat

    Chapter 35 Heartbeat


    Hearing what the female guest said, Brosen frowned, and Matthews turned pale. The two hurriedly confessed their crimes, and squeezed into the center of the crowd little by little.


    The center of the crowd is surrounded by a TV, which originally broadcast the scene of Verinisi''s previous press conference, but now it is replaced by the breaking news live broadcast of New York News for some reason.


    On the TV, Linette with wine-red hair and long hair is holding a microphone, introducing the case and the current scene of the cabin to the audience with a serious face.


    Seeing Roan standing in the corner of the villa in the camera, negotiating with the murderer with a pistol in hand, Brosen''s face turned black and he turned to Matthews and asked in a low voice:


    "Didn''t you send someone to follow Roan? How did he find the murderer so quickly? Also, what happened to this reporter?"


    At this time, Matthews'' eyelids were twitching, his mouth was dry, and he didn''t know how to answer Brosen''s question. He opened his mouth for a while before replying in a low voice:


    "I''m going to call right now!"


    "Hmph, hurry up!"


    Seeing all kinds of complicated gazes from the people around him, Brosen kept a straight face and couldn''t say anything, and waved his hand to signal Matthews to leave quickly.


    Matthews squeezed out of the crowd with cold sweat on his head, walked to the corner of the room and immediately called his subordinate Joke to ask what was going on, only to learn that Joke hadn''t arrived at the villa yet, and it would take ten minutes at the earliest .


    Facing Matthews'' question, Jock, who was driving, looked blank: "Sir, didn''t you ask me to notify the reporter?"


    Matthews: ".FU-K!"


    ��


    At the entrance of the villa, Darren looked at the female reporter who was chatting in front of the camera, with a livid face, and was contacting everywhere with his mobile phone, hoping that someone in his circle of friends would know the senior management of New York News, so that the other party would quickly notify the female reporter to stop the live broadcast.


    He didn''t want his wife''s kidnapping to cause a lot of trouble. Who knows what those people would say afterward about what happened when Sabina was kidnapped.


    At the same time, Lacey also called Augustus.


    "What did you say?"


    Hearing that a reporter was actually broadcasting live at the scene of the crime, Auguston raised his eyebrows, and Vernis, who was on the side, immediately picked up the remote control when he heard the news, and switched the TV at the high place in front of the conference room to the New York News Channel .


    On the TV, Roan''s handsome profile was very clear.


    "Shit!"


    Thinking that the murderer might be angered by the reporters and kill the hostages, Augustus''s lips trembled anxiously, and he immediately ordered Lacey to interrupt the live broadcast of the TV station, but Verenice didn''t agree, and raised her hand to stop Augustus.


    "?"


    Tilting his head to look at Verenice, Augustus was puzzled.


    "Interrupting the reporter''s live broadcast at this time will have a very bad impact on the image of our FBI."


    Auguston''s eyes widened. If Roan failed this mission and did not rescue the hostages, then Roan''s life would be over!


    Moreover, it will take more than 30 minutes for SWAT to reach the hut in the forest. Who knows if Roan can hold the murderer for 30 minutes.


    Mona who was sitting on the side also thought of this, and hurriedly got up to speak.


    "Trust your men, Augustus."


    Looking at the TV standing in the corner, holding the Glock 18, wearing FBI standard equipment, Roan just wore a figure that looked like a high-end model, Vernis''s heart jumped, and after realizing it, her face returned to normal, and she said in a deep voice :


    "Pay attention, does Roan look nervous now?"


    Augus and Mona turned their gazes to the TV, and found that Roan in the camera was not only not nervous, but even talked and laughed with the murderer.


    Although the distance is too far, I can''t hear what they are talking about.


    Augustus: "."


    Mona: "."


    "Trust Roan Greenwood"


    Verinis changed her legs, stared at Roan on TV, and said deeply:


    "He must have a way to solve the murderer and rescue the hostages."


    Augus took a deep breath, signaled Lacey to keep an eye on Darren and not to make any other moves, then hung up the phone, sat on a chair and stared at the TV.


    Recalling Roan''s behavior when the murderer was arrested last time, Mona hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and sat back on the chair. Like everyone else, she watched Roan on TV closely. She chose to believe Roan.


    But Mona pondered for a long time thinking about the consequences of the failure of this mission, and finally took out her mobile phone and found a number that made her look disgusted.


    ��


    Outside the wooden villa, in the corner of the first floor.


    Roan is holding a Glock 18 and is chatting with the murderer Fraser in the bedroom on the second floor.


    He has already asked the murderer''s name.


    Besides, it wasn''t that Roan didn''t want to go up to the second floor in a different direction and find a way to arrest Fraser.


    Instead, Fraser, who was hiding in the bedroom on the second floor, said that if he heard Roan''s voice and stopped moving, then he would immediately ignite the gasoline and everyone would go to **** together.


    "Okay, Fraser, I''m not moving."


    Roan looked around, looking for a place where he could enter the second floor of the villa from the outside, while chatting with Fraser:


    "But can you let me hear Sabina''s voice? I need to make sure she''s safe!"


    In the previous life, the old killer had taught Roan how to negotiate with the other party when the task failed and was trapped.


    Although Roan''s identity is a little different from his previous life, and he has changed from being trapped to a camp that traps others, the general process of the negotiation is still the same.


    It''s all a little bit of discussion, a little bit of negotiation, and finally take advantage of other people''s attention and find an opportunity to kill the other party.


    "Sabina is safe now!"


    Fraser''s voice was not as excited as before, and he calmed down a little. After hearing Roan''s words, he shouted in the bedroom:


    "As long as you meet my request, I will never hurt her!"


    "Fraser, I can''t just listen to Sabina''s safety."


    Roan shook his head, indicating that such words are not credible:


    "I have no other request, I just hope that you can remove the tape on Sabina''s mouth and let her say it''s safe, okay?"


    Pausing for a few seconds, Roan explained:


    "Fraser, believe me, Sabina''s safety is the basic requirement for us to continue talking! You don''t want us to talk or just break into the bedroom."


    Hearing Roan''s words, the bedroom on the second floor of the villa was silent for a few seconds before Fraser agreed:


    "OK! I agree with you, but I will only let Sabina talk, not let her leave me, you know?"


    "No problem! Just let me hear Sabina''s voice!"


    These are minor problems, Roan agreed to Fraser''s request.


    Chick��


    There was a sound of tape being lifted, and a few seconds later, a trembling female voice came from the bedroom on the second floor of the villa:


    "Mr. Detective, I''m Sabina, and I''m still safe."


    "OK, Sabina."


    Hearing Sabina''s voice, Roan licked his lips and shouted loudly:


    "Please take a deep breath now and try to calm down your emotions! I have a good talk with Mr. Fraser now, and we have reached a consensus that we don''t want you to get hurt, okay?"


    "No problem, Mr. Agent."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Sabina''s voice in the second reply has become much calmer.


    "Good."


    Confirming that the hostages are still safe, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief. But when he turned around and saw that there was no place around him for him to jump up to the second floor, he frowned.


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection!

 Chapter 36： pen!

    Chapter 36 Pen!


    "Alright, Agent, you''ve confirmed Sabina''s safety!"


    Just as Roan was carefully looking at the small balcony outside the second floor of the villa, thinking about what posture he would use to climb up, Fraser in the bedroom shouted loudly:


    "Now, I make my claim! I want my dog! Get it? I want you to get it here, right now! I want to go to **** with it!


    Otherwise I''ll kill Sabina and go to **** with Sabina, you know? "


    "???"


    Hearing Fraser''s request, Luo An was full of question marks.


    He really doesn''t understand the brains of this serial murderer, but it''s not convenient to ask why now, so Roan shouted:


    "Okay Fraser, no problem! But you have to tell me where your dog is now. I will contact my colleagues and bring it to you immediately, OK?"


    ��My dog ??is at home in Queens, New York.��


    Mentioning his dog, Fraser became inexplicably excited again:


    "I''ll give you half an hour, if I don''t see my dog ??after half an hour, then everyone will go to **** together!"


    "Hey! Hey! Hey! Take it easy!"


    Roan took out his mobile phone, entered the address that Fraser said into it, and sent it to Mona, asking them to send someone to find the dog that Fraser was talking about immediately, and at the same time let Mona take the time to call up Fraser''s relevant files to send to Mona. Send it by yourself, and then comfort Fraser:


    "I have notified my colleagues of your request, and they will find your dog as quickly as possible and bring it here. Don''t worry, okay?"


    Hearing Fraser''s promised words from the bedroom, Roan breathed a sigh of relief.


    ��


    The office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    After receiving the message from Roan, Mona immediately handed it over to Augustus, and then began to investigate Fraser''s related files at her fastest speed.


    "Ryder, go to Queens ** to find the dog that Fraser mentioned, and then rush to the forest villa as fast as possible."


    "No problem, sir."


    Ryder, who was covered in lumps, immediately turned around and left the office area when he heard Augustus''s order. Augustus then turned his head to look at Mona and asked:


    "How about it, have you found Fraser''s file?"


    "Found it!"


    Mona''s ten fingers danced quickly on the keyboard. When she heard Augustus''s question, she immediately pressed the space bar, pointed to the text on the computer screen and said:


    ��Andre Fraser, 35, didn��t go to high school, has no family, and moves a lot. The house in Queens he rented two years ago.


    A year ago, Fraser went to the hospital for surgery due to a lower body injury. The doctor wanted to sew his lower body up as it was, but Frey said that his lower body had been lost, so the doctor had to sew up the wound.


    When questioned by the police afterwards, Fraser said that the cause of the injury was that he was not careful when cooking, but the doctor wrote in the record that there were large animal tooth marks on the lower body wound, and it was suspected that Fraser''s lower body was bitten off by the family dog. . "


    Verinis: "."


    Augustus: "."


    Outside the villa, seeing the message Mona sent him, Roan was speechless, not knowing what to say.


    But then Roan also figured out why Fraser wanted the dog to come over and wanted to die with it:


    Like the ancient eunuchs in the East, they want to be a whole person after death.


    "It''s been so long, that thing may have been pulled somewhere by the dog."


    Roan shook his head again and again, put the phone in his arms, continued to chat with Fraser, comforted Fraser, and looked around, looking for an opportunity to climb to the balcony on the second floor.


    I can��t continue spending time with Fraser. The longer the time, the more nervous the murderer��s mind will be, the higher the chance of Sabina��s injury, and the slimmer the chance of getting the one million thank you gold that Roan has been thinking about.


    ��


    Seeing Roan talking on TV and starting to act at the same time, Brosen in the reception gradually narrowed his eyes.


    Standing on the sidelines, Congressman Mattai saw Bruosen''s expression, raised his glass to touch him, and asked with a smile:


    "Based on your experience, can the detectives on TV rescue the hostages?"


    "Impossible, Mr. Congressman."


    Bruosen had a strong smile on his face, and replied:


    "There is no place outside the villa for people to climb. Not only did the murderer not allow the detectives to go upstairs, but he also filled the bedroom on the second floor with gasoline. In this case, how the detectives went upstairs to face the murderer was the first problem.


    Second, even in the face of the murderer, the detectives dare not shoot for the safety of the hostages, but the murderer still has a gun in his hand and wants to successfully rescue the hostages. It is impossible to rely on only one detective in the video. "


    As he said that, Bruosen hoped that Roan would act quickly, and thought in his mind that Roan''s plan failed. After the hostages were killed by the murderer, what kind of identity should he use to help Vernis deal with the mess.


    "Sir."


    After hanging up the phone, Matthews walked to Bruosen, who glanced at him and said nothing.


    Matthews felt a chill in his heart.


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, everyone saw that Roan started to move, Augustus frowned, Mona clenched her fists with both hands and was extremely nervous, and Vernis tilted her head with a serious face and asked:


    "Augus, how long until SWAT arrives?"


    Augus looked up at the clock, his face was very ugly:


    "It will take twenty-five minutes at the fastest, or inform Roan"


    "No."


    Verinis raised her hand to interrupt Augustus, crossed her legs and changed directions, fixed her eyes on Roan on the TV, and said in a serious tone:


    "Trust Roan Greenwood."


    ".All right."


    Suddenly, the audience outside the TV had different thoughts and had all kinds of ideas. But the only thing in common is that everyone is staring at the TV screen intently.


    Roan didn''t know what the people outside were thinking. At this time, he was discussing with Fraser to let him leave the villa and enter the second floor of the villa.


    "Fraser, I just got word from a colleague that your dog is on his way."


    Roan glanced at the light blue screen of the system, took a deep breath to turn it off, and then shouted loudly:


    "I''m authorized to make a deal with you, but I must first enter the villa to make sure there are no other hostages, and also make sure there are no other surprises hidden in the villa, okay?"


    "FU-KYOU!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Fraser in the bedroom immediately shouted:


    "No! You don''t want to lie to me! I must see my dog ??first! You can enter the house!"


    "Fraser, I have to come in first."


    Roan''s tone was very gentle, and he discussed in a soft voice:


    "I can''t bring your dog into the house until I''m sure it''s safe inside, okay?"


    "Shit!"


    Fraser still refused to promise Roan, and continued to shout and ask:


    "How do I know if you lied to me? What if you enter the house and shoot directly?"


    "How about this?"


    Roan saw several pens in the living room through the glass on the first floor of the villa, so he smiled and said:


    "I''ll leave all my gear outside and take nothing with me, okay?"


    ".you sure?"


    "certainly!"


    Hearing Roan''s affirmative answer, Fraser smiled:


    "OK, then you can unload your equipment and come in now!"


    "no problem!"


    Roan also laughed.


    Please recommend! Please recommend!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 37： Soft Roan

    Chapter 37 Soft Roan


    Smelling the faint smell of gasoline wafting from the second floor, Roan looked at the shock bomb on his body and sighed.


    Now in this situation, the shock bomb cannot be used. He is afraid that the violent flames of the explosion will ignite the villa.


    Taking out shock bombs, smoke bombs, etc. one by one and putting them on the ground, Roan recited silently in his mind, and the light blue page of the system that had disappeared for several chapters appeared in front of his eyes.


    The current time is 11:20 in the evening, and there are still about forty minutes before midnight when the treasure chest is opened every day.


    Roan looked at the backpack page of the system, which showed a bottle of scuba potion, two bottles of stamina potion, one bottle of fire resistance potion, and one bottle of night vision potion.


    There is no hemostatic medicine that Luo Anxin has been thinking about.


    Since Roan used the hemostatic potion on the girl lying in the trunk last time, and saw the powerful effect of the hemostatic potion, he has been looking forward to the system being able to open another bottle.


    At a critical moment, that bottle of hemostatic potion can definitely save a life.


    "Forget it, if you don''t have it, then you don''t have it."


    Moving his limbs, Roan squinted his eyes and unloaded all the equipment on his body, leaving only a body armor. The light blue page of the system was closed, and he shouted loudly:


    "Fraser, I''m coming in!"


    "Can!"


    Fraser''s voice was a little nervous, but he still shouted:


    "I have already opened the bedroom door for you, but don''t try to play tricks! As long as I find out that you have other actions, then I will immediately shoot and ignite the gasoline, and everyone will go to **** together!"


    "Yes! You decide!"


    Roan agreed with a face of indifference, ignoring the winks from Lacey not far away, raised his legs, stepped over the unloaded equipment, and walked into the villa calmly.


    When passing by the living room, Roan took a few pens on the table.


    "FU-K!"


    Lacey outside the villa was annoyed for a while, took out her mobile phone and called Augustus, shouting:


    "Sir, Roan entered the villa without any weapons, did you see that?"


    "Of course I saw it."


    Augus'' voice was also very annoying. The camera outside the villa just broadcast the scene in the villa carelessly. Of course he saw Roan''s behavior just now.


    "Then what should I do?"


    Lacey stood there sweating anxiously. She believed in Roan''s ability to solve the case, but she hadn''t heard that Roan had learned about negotiation:


    "What if Roann and Fraser break up and the other party shoots? Shit, how long will it take for SWAT to arrive?!"


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, watching Roan enter the villa on TV, Mona''s expression was extremely serious, the palm of her hand holding the mobile phone was full of sweat, Augustus'' face was dark and purple, Vernis frowned, The legs are constantly changing in a staggered manner.


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Vernis kept her eyes on the TV screen, and said the same words: "Trust Roan."


    Snapped!


    Lacey hung up the phone, and subconsciously wanted to throw it out, but thinking that she might use it to contact Augustus later, she suppressed her discomfort and put it back in her pocket.


    "Sonof is better than eating! Is there something wrong with the murderer''s mind?"


    Seeing that Roan was actually allowed to enter the villa, Brosen''s eyes were full of disappointment, and Matthews even scolded the murderer''s brains for being eaten by dogs from the bottom of his heart.


    But after thinking about it, Roan unloaded all the equipment, but the murderer had a gun in his hand and was a hostage. Brosen took a deep breath, and gradually relaxed his hand holding the wine glass.


    He has read Luo An''s file. The other party has not studied negotiation, but just learned a little bit of negotiation in the process of training at the FBI Academy.


    Taking a sip of the wine lightly, Brosen''s face returned to calm.


    Don''t panic, Luo An will most likely have a bad conversation with the murderer, and the murderer is likely to shoot Luo An.


    "What''s the name of this agent?"


    On the other side, many viewers are very interested in the FBI agent who entered the villa alone on TV. Some prayed silently for Roan, and some waited to watch the show.


    Many energetic people who haven''t slept yet cast interested eyes on Luo An.


    "I''m already in!"


    Putting the pen in his pocket, Roan walked up the stairs to the second floor, then raised his French military posture, and slowly walked towards the bedroom on the side of the second floor of the villa.


    In the bedroom, Fraser pulled Sabina to stand in a corner that could not be seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows, grabbed Sabina''s neck with his left hand, pointed a pistol at Sabina''s temple with his right hand, and at the same time pressed his head tightly. Buried close behind Sabina.


    Beside the two of them, there is a carefully dressed pink bed filled with all kinds of toys.


    Beside the bed, there were two barrels of gasoline. There was a crack in one of the barrels, and a lot of gasoline flowed along the crack on the floor of the bedroom, covering two-thirds of the floor of the bedroom.


    "Shit!"


    Seeing this scene, Roan was very pained.


    Fraser protected his head very well, and he couldn''t do it at all.


    Hearing Roan''s footsteps, Fraser took a sneak peek and saw that the other party was indeed not carrying any weapons, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still shouted repeatedly:


    "Go slowly, don''t try to play tricks!"


    "OK! OK!"


    Standing at the door of the bedroom, Roan cast a look at Sabina, who was pale and wearing a lace hollow dress with her hands tied behind her back, telling her not to panic.


    Then he didn''t enter the bedroom, and while circling outside the bedroom door, he said to Fraser:


    "Look carefully, I really don''t have any weapons, okay?"


    Hearing this, Fraser slowly raised his head from behind Sabina, and was relieved to see that Roan at the door of the bedroom did not have a weapon in his hands, and there was no trace of a gun on his waist or trouser pocket.


    But looking up, Roan''s handsome face immediately caught Fraser''s eyes, and Fraser subconsciously looked at Sabina.


    Sure enough, Sabina was completely calm now, staring straight at Roan.


    Fraser suddenly became angry, pointed his pistol at Roan and yelled:


    "Damn FBI agent! You still have a body armor! Take it off now!"


    "Hey Fraser, body armor isn''t a weapon, OK?"


    Luo An was full of black lines, and immediately shouted:


    "I have put the weapon outside the villa to show my sincerity, now please show your sincerity too, okay?"


    Hearing that Roan refused to take off the body armor, Fraser grinned, and whispered in Sabina''s ear:


    "Did you see, honey, what''s the use of being handsome? The other party is just a softie!"


    Sabina did not speak, and could not speak, as Frazier shoved the pistol into her mouth.


    Roan, who was standing at the door of the bedroom, looked down at the distance between himself and Fraser, and asked calmly:


    "Fraser, can I go into the bedroom?"


    Hearing Roan''s question, Fraser, whose head was hidden behind Sabina, had an unnatural flush on his face, and said with a smile:


    "Of course, FBI jerk, you can come in."


    "Look, Fraser, I''m not a jerk, it''s just a job, I just don''t want to die for a job, OK?"


    Walking into the bedroom with long legs, Roan pretended to be weak, with a calm expression, and said calmly:


    "You want your dog, and I just want to complete the task assigned to me by my superiors. Check that there are no other surprises in the room. Everyone gets what they need. Don''t embarrass each other, okay?"


    Browson remembered correctly, Roan Greenwood did not study negotiation systematically, but Roan had learned from the old killer in his previous life.


    When a killer is trapped by the enemy, how should he negotiate with the other party?


    It''s very simple, a little bit of discussion, a little bit of empathy, and finally, when the other party is not paying attention, find an opportunity to kill the other party and escape the scene.


    Ask for collection! Ask for collection!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 38： The boss is not a good thing (please recommend!)

    Chapter 38 Bosses are not good things (please recommend!)


    What Roan is doing now is to empathize with the other party.


    According to Fraser��s information that Mona sent him, Fraser did not go to high school, indicating that his education level is low, and it is unlikely that he has studied psychology.


    No family, which made him lack of love, so he did things like murder and dismemberment without any psychological burden.


    Frequently changing jobs means that he is either clumsy and unable to do the job and is always dismissed, or he is dissatisfied with the job, for example, he dislikes the job content as too troublesome, his colleagues are difficult to get along with, and the boss always picks on him.


    But either way, it is enough to show that Fraser doesn''t like the act of ''working'' itself.


    So complaining about work will definitely resonate with Fraser.


    Sure enough, when Roan said that he went upstairs to check the room just to complete the task, and the FBI was just a job, Fraser''s attitude eased a lot in an instant.


    "Okay, Agent Softass."


    Maybe to maintain his face in front of Sabina, Fraser still did not give up the title of ''soft guy'', but the mood in his words stabilized a lot:


    "Hurry up and take a look at the room. There is no ''surprise'' that your brain-dead boss is worried about. After seeing the room, let''s trade quickly. You guys hurry up and send me my dog."


    Roan shrugged, pointed to the big pink bed in the room, and asked:


    "What''s down there? I want to make sure there''s no ''surprise'' hidden under there. You know, my boss is a fool. I don''t want them to find fault with my salary. God knows what nightclub they''ll take my salary to. play games!"


    "Shit!"


    Fraser, whose head was hidden behind Sabina, rolled his eyes, clasped Sabina''s neck with his left hand, pointed a gun at her temple with his right hand, and slowly moved her to the other side of the room, then said :


    "Then hurry up and see, there are only clothes and toys I prepared for Sabina under the bed, there are no ''surprises''."


    "I trust you, Fraser."


    Roan shrugged, took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee and opened the quilt hanging by the side of the big bed, and while scanning the bottom of the bed, he replied:


    "But you know, Fraser, the bosses and bosses in the whole world are the same, that is, they will use all kinds of reasons against you, as if making you comfortable all day will make them feel uncomfortable all day! "


    Hearing this, Sabina, who is the boss of the company, rolled her eyes, but Fraser nodded again and again, and said in agreement:


    "You''re right, the boss is not a good thing! So last time the boss of the dye factory said that I was not active in my work and wanted to deduct half a month''s salary from me, so I chopped him into pieces that night!


    Damn it, I��m never late for work every day, why should he say I��m not active at work! "


    Roan: "."


    My mother, there are unexpected gains?


    Roan''s eyelids twitched, and from the corner of his eye he realized that he was close enough to Fraser, and he could barely see Fraser''s head hidden behind Sabina from the side, so he calmly pulled the pen out of his pocket Come out, hold it in your hand, just about to get up, Fraser suddenly shouted:


    "Hold on! Softass Agent!"


    Roan''s face darkened instantly, but then Fraser yelled loudly:


    "What''s that outside the villa? Your FBI''s new weapon? You lied to me?!"


    Where did you get the sniper rifle? SWAT can''t be that fast!


    Luo An''s face was slightly relaxed but his brows were tightly locked. He quietly hid the pen in the back of his hand. He got up and looked out of the villa through the glass of the bedroom. Things that happened.


    ��FU-K��


    Before Fraser took Sabina to hide in a blind corner of the bedroom. While he couldn''t be seen from the outside, Fraser couldn''t see the outside of the bedroom either.


    But just now Fraser moved Sabina with him, and through the French window of the bedroom from the corner of his eye, he immediately spotted the camera outside.


    "Trust me, Frazier, that''s not some new FBI weapon."


    Roan secretly scolded the TV station for not doing any human affairs, and made up his mind that he must get some spiritual compensation from them, and then hurriedly turned around to comfort Fraser and said:


    "That''s the FBI''s body camera, OK? I told you that my boss is an idiot. They are afraid that I will do something that does not comply with the regulations during the mission, so they use the body camera to monitor me! Believe me , okay?"


    As soon as he finished speaking, Roan''s face froze, he didn''t believe it himself.


    Sure enough, upon hearing Roan''s words, Fraser''s face instantly turned red, and his whole body trembled with excitement. Most of his body left behind Sabina, and his head finally popped out from behind Sabina.


    The gun in the right hand is no longer pointing at Sabina''s temple, but at Roan:


    "Do you think I''m a fool? When did your FBI pay attention to the legal procedures when carrying out its mission? That is your new weapon!"


    Roan: "."


    Fraser''s words are well-founded and convincing.


    The scene in the bedroom was transmitted to thousands of households through the camera. Seeing Fraser pointing the pistol emotionally at Roan who was close at hand, Mona exclaimed, Augustus stared anxiously, Wei The muscles of Reneesi''s body were tense, and her legs were clamped extremely tightly.


    At the reception, the corners of Brosen''s mouth raised subconsciously, Matthews clenched his fists, and muttered that the murderer would shoot quickly. Several congressmen narrowed their eyes slightly, and many female guests covered their mouths and exclaimed, turning around and not daring to see the **** scene that ensued scene.


    As for Lacey outside the villa, she cursed loudly. She didn''t know whether it was Roan or the murderer who scolded, so she immediately raised her pistol and rushed into the villa.


    The wine-red long-haired reporter Linette''s heart was pounding, and her mind was extremely confused. It was the first time she had watched someone shoot someone at such a close distance.


    "Detective softie, I didn''t expect you to lie to me!"


    In the bedroom, Fraser cursed: "Go to hell!"


    Before the words fell, Fraser bent his finger and was about to pull the trigger. Sabina in front of her immediately screamed in fear when she saw this.


    But Roan moved faster than him. Just as Fraser yelled, Roan raised his right hand, and the pen that had been prepared for a long time flashed in the air like a silver-white sword.


    boom!


    Boom!


    Two different voices sounded in the bedroom at the same time. The bullet whizzed past the right side of Roan''s cheek. The passing breeze was slightly warm, but Roan was unharmed and his expression was very calm.


    On the other side, Fraser''s eyes were wide open, his whole body collapsed on the ground, a pen was stuck in the center of his forehead, and his unrepentant face was facing the French window of the bedroom.


    Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the viewer in front of the TV can see that the pen is inserted very deep, with only a little bit of the end left out.


    "Oh My God!"


    "Jesus!"


    "Holly Sh-t!"


    "WTF?!"


    Many viewers in front of the TV were taken aback by Fraser''s unrepentant face, but then lost their voices and looked at Roan, who was comforting Sabina, with eyes as if they had seen a ghost.


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, the faces of Mona, Augustus and other agents were full of disbelief and disbelief. The tense muscles of Vernis'' whole body relaxed after a burst of trembling, and her legs did not move. Interlaced again, looking at Roan with extremely complicated eyes.


    At the reception, the councilors and some female guests who did not evade took a breath, while Brosen and Matthews were dumbfounded, and then they heard what other people were talking about, and their faces were as ugly as possible.


    "Did you see it?"


    "Is that a pen? That''s a pen!"


    "Are all FBI agents so strong now?"


    "Do any of you know this agent on TV? What''s his name?"


    "Damn it, I''m out of time!"

 Chapter 39： The water is too deep, I cant grasp it (please recommend)

    Chapter 39 The water is too deep to grasp (please recommend)


    "It''s safe, Ms. Sabina."


    In the villa, the moment Fraser collapsed to the ground, Sabina, who was wearing a lace hollow dress, softened and fell forward into Roan''s arms.


    Roan subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the other party. Seeing that Sabina''s hands were still tied behind his back, he hurriedly took out another pen from his pocket and broke it. At the same time, he lowered his head and asked with a stern expression:


    "Ms. Sabina, are you not injured?"


    "No, I''m fine."


    Sabina shook her head, looked up at Roan''s face, touched Roan''s cheek immediately after her hands were untied, and asked with a blurred look:


    "And you, Mr. Detective, are you injured?"


    ��.��


    Roan''s expression was a little stiff.


    But when he thought about the men and women who had served Sabina in the club, Luo An realized that this was Sabina''s style.


    Those who have served Sabina are not ugly. Even Craig, a black youth, is a rare handsome guy among blacks who fits the aesthetics of whites.


    In addition, when Roan entered the room just now, Sabina stared straight at him, which made the murderer Fraser a little jealous. Sabina''s behavior of touching Roan''s face can only be said to have restrained a lot.


    "FBI!"


    As soon as Roan took Sabina''s hand away from his face, Lacey, holding the Glock 19, quickly ran up the stairs and rushed into the bedroom. After shouting slogans, he found that the murderer was lying on the ground with his back to him, and Roan was squatting. Holding Sabina on the ground.


    "Hoo��"


    Seeing that Roan was unharmed, Lacey put away her pistol and heaved a long sigh of relief, then slapped Roan on the shoulder fiercely, cursing:


    "Fu-kYou! Roann Greenwood! Why are you so courageous? How dare you face gunmen wearing only body armor?! You are dying? Body armor can only protect your body, not you brain!"


    "I''m fine."


    Roan stood up from the ground, hugged Sabina in his arms, turned and left the bedroom and walked out of the villa, laughing:


    "Trust me, I regret my life."


    "Shit! You think I''ll believe you?"


    Hearing what Roan said, Lacey gave him a **** at his back, but she scanned Roan carefully, and asked with a frown:


    "Roan, where is your gun hidden? Why didn''t I see it?"


    "Hide a gun?"


    Roan turned around with a puzzled look on his face, he didn''t understand what Lacey meant, or he was a little doubtful whether Lacey meant what he thought.


    Sabina in his arms reacted, and replied with an unnaturally red face:


    "Agent Roan didn''t use a gun, he just used a pen to kill the gangster who hijacked me."


    "WTF?"


    Lacey gasped. She was too busy climbing over the wall to enter the villa just now, and didn''t see the scene of Roan killing people at all.


    Hearing Sabina''s words, Lacey turned around hurriedly, turned the corpse with its back to her, and only then saw the end of the small half of the pen in the middle of the forehead of the corpse.


    The air in the bedroom fell silent. After a long time, Lacey''s somewhat abstract voice "HollySh-t!"


    "Hello! Mr. Agent!"


    As soon as Roan walked out of the villa with Sabina in his arms, a female reporter with long wine red hair ran over quickly, put the microphone on Roan''s mouth, and asked excitedly with eyes full of stars:


    "What''s your name, please? How did you manage to kill criminals with a pen? Is this move a new course taught by FBI agents? Also, do you have a girlfriend?"


    Roan: "."


    Looking down and seeing Sabina''s expression of interest, Roan took a deep breath, grinned at the corner of his mouth, showing the standard eight teeth, smiled at the camera, and then turned to Linette and replied:


    "I''m sorry, Ms. Reporter, I still have work to do, so I can''t answer. If you have any questions, please come back and attend our chief''s press conference. She will answer all your questions, thank you."


    After speaking, Roan led Sabina to Darren''s place, ignoring the female reporter''s question.


    Seeing Roan''s behavior, the cameraman curled his lips in displeasure:


    "What a proud man."


    "No, it''s not arrogance!"


    Linette interrupted the cameraman''s evaluation, staring at Roan''s handsome back without blinking:


    "He doesn''t talk nonsense when interviewed by reporters. This is a man with high emotional intelligence."


    Cameraman: "."


    Is it appropriate for you, a reporter, to say this?


    "OHMYGOD!"


    Seeing the two of Roan, Darren, who was already waiting to death, rushed up immediately, and hugged Sabina, his face flushed and his eyes filled with tears:


    "Sabina, dear, are you okay, are you injured? The gangster didn''t hurt you, did he? Damn it, I would have known that I would not have gone on a business trip yesterday! It''s all my fault, I''m sorry."


    Seeing her husband hugging her and not letting go, Sabina''s eyes turned red, and she hugged his neck:


    "I''m fine, Darren, I''m fine, there''s nothing hurt to worry about."


    Seeing Sabina who was crying whenever she wanted to, Roan was expressionless, and sighed in his heart that women are really born actors.


    Turning around to leave here, leaving space for the couple, Sabina suddenly stretched out her hand to hook Roan.


    "?"


    Roan turned around in doubt, and saw Sabina, who was holding Darren''s neck and did not let go, with tears streaming down her eyes, gestured for the phone with one hand, and at the same time silently made a mouth shape to him:


    "Call Me (Call me)."


    ��.��


    Luo An turned around and left without saying a word.


    This woman''s rank is too high, and he should not go into this muddy water when he is young. The water is too deep, and he can''t grasp it, and he is afraid of being drowned.


    ��


    At the reception, I saw the handsome face of Roan facing the reporter''s questions on TV, expressing that he could ask all the questions to the chief. Brosen''s face turned red and then pale, and the knuckles of the hand holding the wine glass turned white.


    Matthews was at a loss when he saw this scene, and the hand holding the wine glass began to tremble unconsciously.


    "Browson."


    Wearing a suit, with a serious face and a big bald head, the elderly Caucasian Senator Ma Tai watched the picture on TV, narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked over after taking a sip of wine. He didn''t care about Bruno Sen''s ugly face, and asked directly:


    "What''s the name of this agent? Do you have his contact information?"


    ��.His name is Roan Greenwood, and I have his contact information.��


    Although Brosen wished to kill Roan on TV right now, he still gritted his molars in the face of Mr. Matai''s question, tried to calm his voice, and replied:


    "I will send his relevant information and contact information to your assistant tomorrow."


    "OK."


    Member Ma Tai nodded in satisfaction, drank the liquid in the wine glass in one gulp, then handed the empty glass to Matthews without looking at Matthews'' face, turned around and led the people away from the reception.


    ��.��


    Looking at the wine glass in his hand and the back of Mr. Matai leaving, Matthews was dry. After a long silence, he still walked to Bruno Sen and asked in a low voice:


    "Sir, I."


    As soon as he said the beginning, Brosen turned around and looked at Matthews as if choosing someone to devour:


    "G-e-tO-u-t!"


    ��.OK, sir.��


    Thanks to QFH for the reward, thanks to the fried dough sticks, Wu''s Changge, Yijue Wanzai, mjnu and other book friends for their recommendation tickets, thank you!

 Chapter 40： Flame Queen Bar

    Chapter 40 Flame Queen Bar


    Investigation Team No. 5 saw the scene on TV showing Roan coming out of the villa with Sabina in his arms, Mona let out a long breath, and the expression on her face relaxed.


    "I knew that Roan definitely had a plan."


    Mona was very happy from the bottom of her heart, she really guessed right about Roan.


    Feeling that her palms were a little greasy from sweating, Mona was about to wipe them off with a paper, but when she saw the number on the phone, the corners of her mouth immediately ticked down, and she threw the phone aside in displeasure, as if she had touched a poisonous mushroom.


    Augus sat on the table, watching the picture on TV and grinning loudly, his back molars were all exposed.


    The more he looks at Roan now, the more he feels like himself. Not only are they handsome, but they are also smart and able to talk and do things.


    Didn''t you see that when Roan didn''t talk nonsense on TV and said that his actions were well-led, did Verinis turn red with excitement?


    Sitting on the chair, Vernis watched the TV. Roan told the reporter that if he had any questions, he would ask his chief at the press conference. His face was bright red, and there were two words written in his eyes: Satisfaction!


    Feeling a trace of coolness in her thighs, Verenice took a deep breath, her face gradually returned to normal, she straightened up from the chair and tilted her head and said coldly to Augustus:


    "In 30 minutes, I will hold a press conference. You should inform the reporters now. The more people, the better."


    "Yes, sir!"


    Augus agreed with a smile, and at the same time did not forget to ask:


    "Does Roan need to attend? If he does, he may be late, and he won''t be back in thirty minutes."


    ��.��


    Hearing Augustus''s question, Vernis, who was about to turn around and leave the office area, was taken aback. Logically speaking, Roan must attend, but directly forcing the other party to attend may make him angry


    After pondering for a moment, Vernis said: "Call Roan now and ask him if he wants to attend this press conference.


    ".OK."


    Augus had a surprised expression on his face. When did Verenice become so reasonable, but she still took out her mobile phone and called Roan.


    "Can I not go, sir?"


    Hearing what Augustus said, sitting in the SUV, and seeing the figure of the car that the SWAT team finally arrived, Roan was full of reluctance:


    "I''ve been running all day today, and now I just want to go home and sleep, I''m so tired."


    Don��t look at the fact that this story has been written from chapter 15 to chapter 40, but this is just Roan��s experience from nine o��clock in the morning to around twelve o��clock in the evening, which is just one day.


    "this"


    Looking at Vernis who was standing next to him and also heard Roan''s voice on the phone, Augustus'' face was a little stiff, and just as he was about to speak after coughing, Vernis nodded in agreement, and said coldly:


    "Agent Luo An, you have worked hard, go home and rest first, I allow you to come back to work tomorrow afternoon."


    Augustus: "???"


    Roan looked happy: "Okay, thank you sir!"


    Hung up the phone, Vernis ignored Augustus''s "I also want to go to work late tomorrow" written all over his face, and dragged his weak legs, turned around and walked to the bathroom of the No. 5 investigation team.


    At the same time, he did not forget to say to Augustus seriously:


    "Augus, in thirty minutes, I want all the news media in New York to appear in the conference room on the first floor, understand?"


    "Yeah."


    Augus sighed, looked away from Vernis, and turned to the agents in the office area:


    "Now, everyone, act for me! Contact the media in New York! No matter how big or small, no one will be left behind!"


    Agents: "."


    Beside the hut in the forest.


    By the road, Darren and Sabina waited for the secretary''s car to pick them up, and they confided and comforted each other.


    At the same time, they have a tacit understanding, and they don''t mention things that they have hidden from the other party at all.


    Luan hung up the phone, sitting in the SUV and seeing this scene, his eyelids twitched, he was full of words but didn''t know what to say.


    Lacey and SWAT, who arrived just after the incident, had a chat for a while, then made an appointment with one of the female detectives to go shopping together tomorrow, and then returned to Roan''s SUV.


    "Take me to the "Queen of Fire" bar in Manhattan."


    As soon as she got in the car, Lacey hurriedly told Roan to drive quickly, then pulled down the mirror above the co-pilot, miraculously took out some cosmetics from her pocket, and began to paint and paint on her face:


    "Hurry up a little bit, someone is waiting for me over there."


    ��.��


    Luo An''s face was constipated, but he didn''t say anything. After putting the gear on and stepping on the accelerator, the SUV moved forward slowly.


    After putting on her makeup, Lacey put away her cosmetics, took off her suit jacket, folded the shirt inside and tied it in half, making a seductive look, seeing the street lights on both sides of the road slowly backing away, silent for a long time, her face full of confusion asked:


    "Damn, can Roan show the speed you were racing at that time?"


    "What did you say?"


    Roan tilted his head and asked with a smile:


    "I remember that someone thought I was driving too fast and said that he would never ride in my car again in his life. Why is he driving me fast again now?"


    Careful man.


    Lacey rolled her beautiful eyes, thought for a while, and took out four business cards from nowhere, and handed them to Roan who was driving:


    "As long as you can get me to the ''Queen of Fire'' bar in twenty minutes, one of these four girls will be yours tonight, how about it?"


    Roan tilted his head and glanced, but did not accept the business card:


    "Who are they?"


    "Don''t worry, little boy, I won''t lie to you. It''s not good for me at all. This is your reward for successfully solving the case with me today."


    Lacey stuffed the business card into Roan''s suit pocket and laughed:


    "They are all students of New York University. Because of their good looks and good figures, they work part-time as waitresses and models in bars. With my help, as long as you are not too stupid tonight, you can definitely take one of them home. "


    "hehe."


    Roan glanced at the business card in his pocket, shook his head disdainfully and said:


    "One? I want them all!"


    Lacey: "???"


    The next second, Roan stepped on the accelerator, the roar of the engine suddenly sounded, and the dark SUV turned into a black lightning and rushed straight into the distance.


    ��


    A conference room on the first floor of the Jacobs Federal Building was brightly lit.


    A large group of reporters who were forced to work overtime temporarily by their leaders, holding paper and pens and cameras, sat on chairs and looked at Vernis standing in front of the conference room.


    At this time, Vernis changed from the professional suit she was wearing four hours ago, and changed into another casual suit with very long trousers.


    Not only that, the original light makeup on Verinisi''s face was also re-dressed, a little thicker than before, making her look more aggressive.


    "Good evening everyone, thank you for attending this press conference."


    Vernis briefly repeated the brief situation at the scene of the case, then explained the process of the detectives solving the case, then briefly introduced the identity of the murderer Fraser, and finally stopped when introducing how the detectives caught the murderer .


    "Why are not you talking?"


    "Is the agent injured?"


    Reporters from several small newspapers were a little puzzled, and didn''t understand why Verinisi stopped at a critical point


    Ask for collection! Please follow up!

 Chapter 41： You can still come to work? (Seek to follow up)

    Chapter 41 You can still come to work? (Seek to follow up)


    Hearing the murmurs of reporters from several small newspapers, sitting in the front row of the meeting room, many reporters from well-known New York media looked at each other, as if they had guessed what Vernis would do next.


    Sure enough, as Vernis stopped speaking, the female detective who had been standing in the corner of the conference room immediately picked up the remote control and turned on the TV hanging high in the corner in front of the conference room.


    The program inside is the New York News Channel, which is continuously replaying the scene where the gangster Fraser aimed a pistol at Roan, but was killed by Roan with a pen.


    "Ohmygod!"


    "is this real?"


    It was the first time for the reporters from several small newspapers to see this scene, and they all gasped in surprise, causing the air temperature in the meeting room to drop a lot.


    The well-known media reporters sitting in the front row were also staring at the TV intently, each with wonderful expressions.


    Although these media were well-informed and had seen this scene before coming here, when this scene was shown in front of them again, their attention was diverted.


    Without it, the scene of using a pen to fight back against a gunman is too much like a movie. Coupled with Roan��s stern and handsome face, if this clip is cut out alone, some people will definitely believe that it is a new Hollywood movie.


    "My friends from the press."


    Seeing the wonderful expressions on everyone''s faces, the corners of Verinisi''s mouth curled up slightly, but she quickly retracted it, and said calmly:


    ��This is the live video of our FBI agents killing the serial killer. The biological samples of the killer are completely consistent with the biological samples extracted from the two crime scenes. So, now I declare here:


    The serial murder case discovered today in Queens, New York. After five hours, our FBI successfully solved the case and killed the murderer! "


    ��.��xN


    The room was silent for a few seconds, and then a loud noise broke out. Reporters crowded in front of Verinisi like crazy, shouting loudly:


    "Group supervisor, is the five hours you just said true or false? Did your FBI search for this suspect before the news broke?"


    "Team supervisor, what do you say is that the detective on TV blatantly raced while handling the case?"


    "Ma''am, what''s the name of the agent holding the pen? He doesn''t look old, does he have a girlfriend?"


    ��.��


    Verinis didn''t rush to answer the reporters'' questions, but turned her gaze to the live broadcast camera, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and silently made a mouth shape:


    ��Thank You��


    No one knows who she is thanking.


    But Brosen felt that Vernis was thanking him.


    Because of his help, Verinisi managed to gain the limelight in front of the media, and her career has also improved to a higher level.


    In the single-family apartment, Brosen''s face turned black when he saw this scene, and he threw the cup in his hand to the ground.


    The next second, the phone next to him suddenly rang. Brosen saw the contact''s pupils constrict, but he still pressed the answer button.


    A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone:


    "Bruosen, you have gone too far this time."


    "Sir, I."


    Bruosen looked serious, and was about to say something to explain when he was interrupted by the voice on the other end of the phone:


    "Tomorrow I will announce the establishment of the No. 14 investigation team. As the newly promoted team leader, you will be in charge of the No. 14 investigation team."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the other end of the phone hung up the phone without waiting for Brosen''s attitude.


    "A team leader with only a newly established investigation team under his command. This is something that has not happened in the FBI''s New York branch for more than ten years."


    Looking at the hung up phone, Brosen laughed angrily. He could already guess the way those people looked at him at the meeting tomorrow.


    "Hoo��"


    Taking a few deep breaths, Bruosen suppressed his anger, picked up the glass on the ground expressionlessly, filled it up and drank it down with his head up, then got up and left the sofa and walked to the bedroom.


    The voice of talking to himself came faintly:


    "Virenes, Augustus, Roanne Greenwood"


    ��


    "Verinis has a good subordinate."


    In the distance, at the FBI Washington headquarters, an elderly white man in a suit saw the press conference on TV, took a sip of his wine and hummed twice, then pressed the phone next to him:


    "Tomorrow morning, put all the information about the agent on TV on my desk and put it on the top floor."


    "Okay, sir."


    ��


    Roan didn''t know what happened last night.


    After driving Lacey to the ''Flame Queen'' bar within 20 minutes, with Lacey''s help, Roan failed to recognize the girls on the business card because Lacey pried them away.


    But relying on an ordinary handsome face, Roan managed to meet the female manager of the bar.


    It''s been a busy day, can''t you enjoy it?


    With this thought in mind, he slept until two o''clock in the afternoon the next day.


    The sun was slanting to the west, and Roan slowly opened his eyes in the manager''s lounge above the "Flame Queen" bar in Manhattan.


    For a moment, he felt a little pain in his back.


    "Hiss��"


    Removing the arms wrapped around his neck, and the thighs wrapped around his waist, Roan got out of bed with his waist leaned on his back, and walked into the bathroom slowly with a grim face.


    "Miscalculation this time!"


    While opening the gate to release the water, while looking at himself in the mirror, Roan found that there was a trace of haggardness on his ordinary face, his eyes widened and he realized:


    "Roan Greenwood didn''t know much about drinking, I actually forgot this!"


    After washing, Roan walked out of the bathroom. After getting dressed, he glanced at the bumpy figure who was still sleeping soundly on the bed in the bedroom, turned and left the room without hesitation, while shaking his head and sighing:


    "The mere drinking and **** made me feel back pain. From today on, I must strengthen my exercise and stop drinking at the same time!"


    Found the SUV in the parking lot of the bar, and Roan drove it slowly, preparing to go to the Jacobs Federal Building.


    While waiting for the traffic light at an intersection, he opened the system page that he was busy exercising last night and didn''t have time to open.


    ��Yesterday��s Performance Evaluation: Excellent��


    ��Number of treasure chests obtained: four��


    ��Do you want to open the treasure chest? ��


    "ON!"


    Looking at the cutscene of opening the treasure chest in the rough web game on the system screen, and then looking at the word "excellent" in the evaluation, Luo An''s face showed a daze:


    "Three treasure chests are awarded for a good evaluation, and four treasure chests are awarded for an excellent evaluation. This thing was originally incremented."


    ��The treasure chest has been opened��


    ��Physical potion x 1. Potion of strength x1. Swift Potion �� 1. Sensitive potion ��1. ��

    Touched his sore lower back, and then looked at the three bottles of stamina medicine in the system''s backpack. Without hesitation, Roan took out one bottle and drank it with his head up.


    Smacking his mouth, there was no taste, but a few seconds later, an indescribable feeling spread from Roan''s abdomen to his whole body.


    Roan was still a little unhappy when he saw that the hemostatic potion he wanted the most was not opened in the treasure chest.


    But after drinking the stamina potion, he felt that in the blink of an eye, his waist was no longer sore and his legs were no longer hurting, and his body was not empty after a dozen shots. Roan''s eyes lit up:


    "nice one!"


    It turns out that stamina potions are king!


    The SUV soon arrived at the Jacobs Federal Building. When Roan walked out of the parking lot, he happened to meet Lacey who came out to buy coffee, so he raised his hand and greeted with a smile:


    "Good afternoon, Lacey."


    "Roan?"


    Seeing the energetic Roan written on his face, Lacey, who knew who he went to exercise with last night, was shocked:


    "You can still come to work?"


    Luo An was suddenly upset: Who do you look down on?


    Thanks to Tianlongnv, Xingchen 01, Sanye Tongxiao, ningren, QFH, 20190608211803313, 62592299, Chui Lingmu, ws second-hand uncle, 20191101211951966 and other book friends for their monthly tickets.

 Chapter 42： Depressed Office (read more!)

    Chapter 42 The Depressed Office (Please follow up!)


    "Roan, I admire you, really."


    Handed Roan a cup of coffee, and Lacey walked towards the Jacobs Federal Building together with him, while looking at him with a strange face, hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice:


    "Do you know the details of the woman who played the game with you last night?"


    "Of course I know, Lydia Ruth, 30 years old this year, the manager of the "Queen of Fire" bar, has not had a boyfriend or **** life for two years since her husband died, what''s wrong?"


    Luo An tilted his head in doubt. He stood upright last night and used a little trick to know about these basic information, and then asked:


    "I remember you told me last night that she has no special background."


    Lacey nodded, the information Roan got was correct, and Lydia really had no background on the surface, but behind the scenes she was just a local gangster, the kind who didn''t want to provoke the FBI.


    But what she wanted to talk about was not about Lydia''s background, but about Lydia herself.


    Lydia this woman.


    Looking at Roan, who was cheerfully greeting the other agents, Lacey shook her head and sighed.


    Forget it, let Roan feel it himself in the future, it��s not a big deal, I just hope Roan��s kidney can hold on.


    "Good afternoon, Agent Roan!"


    "Hello."


    "Good skills! Agent Luo An!"


    "Thanks."


    Walking on the first floor of the Jacobs Federal Building, three or four agents greeted Roan in just a dozen steps. With a puzzled face, he asked:


    "Where did these people know my name?"


    "There are no secrets in this building, Roan."


    Lacey took a sip of her coffee without being surprised, and explained calmly:


    "The story of you killing gangsters with a pen last night spread throughout the building in less than an hour. It''s normal for them to know you."


    Roan: "."


    Before he could speak, the elevator arrived at the floor where the No. 5 investigation team was located. As the elevator door opened, a deafening applause came into the elevator, which shocked Roan.


    "Nice job, Roan!"


    Mona and several technical agents cheered and applauded Roan, and the bear-like Ryder also applauded and shouted:


    "Roan, you must teach me the technique of swinging pens later! I will provide you with breakfast for a year!"


    Looking at this scene, Roan showed a real smile on his face, not the one with eight teeth exposed. They hugged each other and thanked:


    "Thank you everyone! Last night''s action would not have been possible without your support and help! Thank you very much!"


    "Haha, I knew Roan would say that!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Augustus came out behind the crowd, patted Roan''s shoulder hard, looked up and down a few times and nodded in satisfaction:


    "You did a great job last night, boy, you''re as good as I was when I was young!"


    Everyone: "."


    Looked down at Augustus''s big belly, Roan still had a smile on his face and didn''t speak, as long as he was happy.


    "Let''s go, let''s go, what should we do!"


    With a big wave of his hand, Augustus drove the agents back to the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, and he led Roan to the other direction of the corridor.


    Roan asked doubtfully:


    "where are we going?"


    "Go to the office of the team leader Verenes, she has something to ask for you."


    Augus patted his big belly as he walked, and while answering Roan''s questions, he didn''t forget to show a smiling face to passers-by, and patted Roan on the shoulder by the way.


    There is a sense of instant vision for parents to show their children in front of outsiders.


    "By the way, Roan."


    Halfway through, Augustus suddenly grabbed Roan''s shoulder, motioned him to lower his head, and then whispered in Roan''s ear:


    "During the meeting this morning, Bruosen was appointed as the head of the special agent, the team leader of the newly established No. 14 investigation team. You can''t guess how ugly Bruosen''s face was at that time!"


    Roan: "."


    Tilted his head and glanced at Augustus who was so happy that his molars were showing. Roan didn''t expect him to have a hobby of gossip.


    The two walked to the end of the corridor, Augustus pointed to the door not far away, and said:


    "Verinis will be waiting for you inside, be careful when you speak, and hurry back to the office after the chat, I have something to tell you."


    "Okay, sir."


    Seeing the back of Augustus turning away, Roan lowered his head and straightened his suit. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he knocked on the door of the office.


    "Enter."


    Hearing Verenice''s extremely cold voice, Roan raised his eyebrows, opened the door calmly and walked in.


    "Good afternoon, sir."


    "sit."


    Didn''t raise her head to pay attention to Roan, Vernis still lowered her head and wrote some documents on the desk.


    Roan didn''t care, and sat down on the chair in front of Verinisi''s desk, and began to observe the surroundings silently.


    The office has a large area, but the decoration is very simple. There is only a large bookshelf full of file bags, a set of desks, a chair, and a drinking fountain.


    Not even a single green plant.


    If the office hadn��t faced the south and had sunlight streaming in, this office would definitely represent ��depression��.


    Frowning, Roan turned his gaze to Vernis, and found that she was still dressed in a wide-shouldered lady''s suit today, and her appearance looked very serious.


    It''s just that the pants don''t seem to match.


    Pata��


    Hearing the sound of the signature pen being thrown to the desk, Roan hurriedly looked away from Vernis.


    Verinis didn''t care, she pulled out another folder on the desktop, and began to read without emotion:


    "Roann Greenwood was born at Boston Children''s Hospital on April 1, 1981. His father was a professor of accounting at Boston University. He died in a street shooting when you were 4 years old. The murderer was unknown. His mother was a doctor at Children''s Hospital. A week after your 18th birthday, you were shot in the street and the killer is nowhere to be found."


    After reading this, Vernis looked up at Roan, and asked blankly:


    "Am I right? Agent Roan."


    Luo An''s heart skipped a beat, and he frantically flipped through the memories left by his predecessor in his mind, but replied blankly: "...No."


    Isn''t it just pretending to be paralyzed? Who wouldn''t?


    "OK."


    Seeing that Roan had no objection, Verenice went on to read:


    ��After your mother died, you worked odd jobs to earn money while studying hard. Finally, with your excellent grades and the recommendation letters from your mother��s colleagues, you successfully entered the University of Massachusetts Boston, where you majored in accounting.


    After graduating from college, you worked on Wall Street for two years, but for some reason you suddenly quit your job and joined the FBI''s social recruitment.


    After 20 weeks of training at the FBI Academy in Virginia, you successfully passed your final exam, became a rookie agent, and were assigned to the New York Bureau. "


    After briefly reading Roan Greenwood''s experience from birth to the present, Vernis threw the folder aside, put her hands together, stared at Roan''s eyes solemnly, and asked sharply:


    "In the report of the FBI training academy, it never said that you have superb throwing skills! Tell me, where did you learn this?"


    Roan: "."


    Thank you all book friends for supporting me! Bend at ninety degrees��


    I would like to ask all the book friends here. I hope everyone will read the new chapters every day after they are updated. This is really important to the author. Never keep books! Never keep books! Never keep books! For something like a new book, if you keep the author��s crotch, you��ll be fucked

 Chapter 43： Columbus Foundation (seek to read!)

    Chapter 43 The Columbus Foundation (read more!)


    Hearing the question from Verinisi, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this was just a routine questioning, not that the FBI executives really had doubts about his identity.


    Simply think about it, Roan Greenwood''s background is innocent, a standard American middle-class family offspring.


    The life experience of my parents and myself is clear, and there is no tax that should be paid.


    There should be no missed submissions.


    And Roan Greenwood has never been in contact with suspicious foreigners since he was a child. No matter how you look at it, he is a qualified supporter of the American government.


    So Roan didn''t panic at all, tilted his head and pointed to the business card on her desk, and asked:


    "Can I have one?"


    Vernice nodded, Roan got up and took a business card between two fingers, then slammed it at the calendar in the corner of the office!


    Snapped-


    A vague shadow flashed past, and Vernis''s business card was firmly inserted in the calendar.


    "Just a trick, sir."


    Seeing Vernis''s pupils shrunk slightly, Roan shrugged and said indifferently:


    "When I first learned this move, it was just for the convenience of chatting with girls."


    "Yeah?"


    Vernice took a deep look at Roan, lowered her head and began to write and draw in the folder, and said at the same time:


    "Poke a pen into a human skull, I''m afraid you''ve practiced behind your back for a long time."


    "No, sir."


    Luo An shook his head. What happened in his previous life cannot be counted in this life. He has never practiced in this life, so he explained very sincerely:


    "I''m just born stronger than others."


    Verinis paused her writing hand, raised her head and gave Roan a look, then threw the written folder aside, and finally started talking about business.


    "Roann Greenwood."


    Verinis leaned back, Erlang raised his legs, looked at Luo An without blinking and said:


    "At the press conference before, I issued an arrest warrant for this serial killer, 100,000 US dollars. This money will be released this weekend, that is, tomorrow, together with your salary for this month. You go back and talk to Aogu Speak."


    Roan��s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:


    "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir, for supporting me in solving the case."


    Verinis ignored Roan''s words, but pulled out a black folder from the bottom of the stack of folders on the side, opened it and handed it to Roan, and said calmly:


    "This is an internal FBI foundation called the Columbus Foundation.


    If you participate, the management staff of the foundation will deduct one-tenth of your salary every month for operation.


    After a few months, you will receive a sum every Christmas, which is slightly higher than the salary deduction. "


    Hearing what Verinis said, Roan frowned, and asked directly without looking at the information in the black folder:


    "Sir, have you joined the Columbus Foundation?"


    "certainly."


    Verinis nodded without any change in expression, she was silent for a second and explained:


    "Augus also joined."


    Roan suddenly realized, licked his lower lip and continued to ask:


    "Then may I know the annual rate of return of this foundation?"


    "The rate of return is not fixed, Roan."


    Hearing this, Verinisi put away her legs, her body leaned forward with a mature body full of bumps, and fixed her eyes on Roan at the desk and said:


    "My annual rate of return is higher than Augustus, and Augustus'' annual rate of return is higher than yours, understand?"


    "understood."


    Luo An nodded, meaning that the higher the position, the more money he can get at the end of the year. I don''t understand this.


    Taking out a pen from the desk, Roan took off the cap, and turned to the last page of the contract in the black folder. Instead of signing in a hurry, he stared into Vernis''s eyes and asked with a serious expression :


    "Last question, sir, may I know who has not joined this foundation?"


    The two looked directly at each other, and Roan''s handsome face made Vernis''s heart skip a beat, and her legs moved subconsciously.


    She understood Roan''s subtext, and her face returned to seriousness. After a moment of hesitation, Verniss said:


    "There are a lot of people who did not join this foundation, Roan, they are not qualified. But Brosen and several of his agents joined another foundation."


    Roan nodded clearly, and finally understood why Brosen had targeted Verenice before.


    It turned out to be the one who joined. The foundation is different!


    Hearing the answer he wanted, Roan flicked the pen, bowed his head in silence for a moment, with a strange light in his eyes, and signed his name on the last page of the folder.


    Roan never thought of refusing to join the Columbus Foundation from the very beginning.


    The reason is very simple. When you come out to hang out, you must have power and background.


    In the United States, personal strength is of no use, and keeping warm is the kingly way.


    Yesterday''s press conference, in the eyes of interested people, is that Roan, as Verinisi''s subordinate, has joined the Columbus Foundation''s campaign.


    Whether I joined the Columbus Foundation or not, I have already been branded by Verinisi''s subordinates. Since I still have money to join the Foundation, why not do it?


    However, joining belongs to joining, money can be taken, and things can be handled according to mood, but the handle that can be used as key evidence cannot be kept.


    So when he signed this time, he used Roan''s writing habits in his previous life, not Roan Greenwood''s writing habits in this life.


    If something happens in the future, the handwriting must be checked, and the things in it will be interesting.


    Those New York lawyers who can turn white into black as long as they get money, and the opposing lawyer who can absolutely take handwriting identification reports and spray doubts about life.


    Of course, this is just a back-up preparation.


    "Fortunately, I have just traveled here for three days. The habits of my previous life have not yet merged with the habits of this life."


    Looking at the fluttering English letters in the folder, Luo An was still so reluctant. From now on, he would no longer be able to write in Luo An''s way of writing.


    "Forget it, if you don''t write it, don''t write it. It''s not a loss to exchange a handwriting for a sum of dollars that you can get every year!"


    After signing, Roan returned the black folder to Verniss with a smile, and asked with a smile:


    "Sir, are there any other foundations? I think Christmas is happier every year than others."


    ��.��


    Verinis put away the black folder, and when she heard what Roan said, she gave him a hard look, pointed at the calendar beside her and said:


    ��$20 was deducted from your salary this month because you vandalized public property.��


    "?"


    Is this broken calendar worth $20?


    Hearing what Verinis said, Roan blushed, put his hand in his pocket fiercely, and took out the 20 dollar ticket that was first opened in [Today''s Treasure Box] from it.


    "Sir, this is 20 dollars. The monthly salary of a full-time agent is just that, so you should not deduct it."


    Putting 20 dollars on the desk, Roan smiled, turned and left the office.


    ��.��


    Looking at the closed door of the office, and at the 20 dollars on the table, Vernis was silent for a moment, smiled, and threw the 20 dollars directly beside the calendar.


    He lowered his head and wrote the documents for a while, then put the 20 dollars into his pants pocket.

 Chapter 44： There is no benefit to eating alone (please collect!)

    Chapter 44 Eating alone is not good (please collect it!)


    "Come back soon, Roan."


    In the office of the leader of the No. 5 investigation team, Augustus sat on a chair, drank coffee with a big belly, motioned for Roan to sit down, then grinned and said:


    "How about it, are you intimidated by the review by Verenes?"


    "No."


    Roan poured himself a cup of coffee, took a sip and replied:


    "It''s just a simple question about my family background. My life experience from childhood to adulthood is clearly traceable. There is nothing to be afraid of."


    "Um?"


    Augus was taken aback, he just asked about his family background, and didn''t conduct strict psychological tests and lie tests?


    For a while, Augustus fell silent, not understanding why Roan was given special treatment by Verenice.


    Forget it, it doesn''t matter.


    Augus threw aside the thoughts in his head, put down the coffee cup and said to Roan with a smile:


    "Darren and his wife went to the hospital for a physical examination today. At noon, they sent someone to tell me that they will come here tomorrow to pay the thank you money. I hope you will not be absent by then."


    "no problem."


    Luo An''s eyes lit up and he agreed resolutely. He will never be late when it comes to money.


    "very good."


    Augus nodded with a smile, then picked up a blue folder on the desktop, and handed it to Roan.


    Why is this scene somewhat familiar?


    Roan frowned, lowered his head and opened the folder, and found a written certificate that the bonus was doubled.


    "Sir?"


    "It''s like this, Roan, your performance last night made many people''s eyes shine, and everyone is very satisfied with you."


    Picking up the coffee on the table and taking a sip, Augustus explained with a smile:


    "I wanted to promote you to a senior agent, but you have just become a full-time agent and it has been less than three days, and the higher authorities will not agree to submit the materials. However, the reward will not fall, and your bonus this month will be doubled." times."


    "Thank you sir!"


    Signed the written certificate with Roan Greenwood''s writing habits. Roan bowed his head and thought about it, and asked Augustus with a smile:


    "By the way, sir, I was able to kill Fraser this time. Every agent in the No. 5 investigation team contributed a lot. It is not appropriate for me to take all the rewards of 100,000 US dollars. How about this, I will take 50,000 U.S. dollars, how about sharing the remaining fifty thousand dollars equally?"


    There is no benefit in eating alone. This is an experience taught to Roan by the old killer in his previous life.


    When the old killer was young, he had seen a lot of people in the rivers and lakes wipe off the necks of their teammates after completing tasks, and ran out with all the money to have a good time.


    But few of these people can survive to the end, and most of them will be stabbed in the back at critical moments, leaving no whole body.


    Luo An agrees with the old killer��s point of view. From ancient times to the present, countless people have used their lives to warn latecomers: You can��t go far if you eat alone, and win-win cooperation is the kingly way.


    Once you have eaten meat, you must also let your teammates drink soup, otherwise you will end up with a betrayal.


    During the arrest of Fraser, the murderer of the serial murder case, every detective in the No. 5 investigation team provided help to Roan, so he had to offer a reward of 100,000 dollars, otherwise, it would be unpredictable.


    Investigation Team No. 5 is Luo An''s base, and he doesn''t want to be stabbed in the back because of this little money in the future.


    Hearing Roan''s words, Augustus narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    "Are you sure, Roan? One hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount of money, are you sure you want to give half of it?"


    "certainly!"


    Roan nodded with a smile.


    The little money now is not important, not to hold back, but to support his teammates at critical moments. Only with such teammates can he make more money later.


    "Well, anyway, it''s your money, you have the final say."


    Augus nodded nonchalantly, picked up the folder and waved it to indicate that the matter was over and Roan could leave.


    "Oh, right."


    Just when Roan got up and left the chair and walked to the door of the team leader''s office, Augustus patted his head suddenly, called Roan to stop him and said:


    "You tell everyone the news yourself."


    ��.��


    Turning his head, Roan took a careful look at Augustus, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth raised:


    "Okay, sir."


    After speaking, he opened the office door and strode away.


    Papapa��


    Through the gate of the office, I saw the scene where all the detectives in the office area heard Roan announce that when everyone got money again this month, they all applauded and cheered for Roan. Augustus''s big dark face was full of Smiling, he took out his phone and pressed the dial button.


    "Sir, just like I guessed before, Roan is as smart as me, and he didn''t choose to take the bonus all by himself."


    Augus laughed straight, didn''t say much on the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone with a hum.


    Hearing the busy signal on the phone, Augustus smiled even more.


    ��


    In the office area, the sound of cheers and applause gradually subsided. After thanking Luo An, all the agents followed Luo An''s words and returned to their workstations one after another, starting their daily fishing.


    "Hey, Roan."


    Backing to her seat, Mona gave Roan a big hug, and said with a smile on her face:


    "Thank you so much! Not only do I have enough money to pay off the apartment loan this month, but the remaining money is enough for me to take out a loan and buy a better car!"


    "You''re welcome."


    Roan opened his mouth, but after thinking about it, he still didn''t say anything.


    Americans don��t seem to be very used to saving money. They spend it when they have money, and borrow tomorrow��s money if they don��t have money. This is their normal life.


    "Roan!"


    Lacey on the side began to sleep on the table again. The smiling Ryder squeezed in from behind her and slapped Roan on the shoulder:


    "Do you have something to do after get off work later? How about going to my gun shop? By the way, teach me how to swing a pen!"


    "Gun store?"


    Roan pulled an unoccupied chair from the side and signaled Ryder to sit down. He was too tall, and his neck hurt when he raised his head to talk to him, and then asked with some doubts:


    "Your parents opened it?"


    "No, my wife owns it, and it''s in Queens."


    Ryder shook his head, indicating that he had been married for five years. His wife is an ex-NYC cop who got injured and left the force and married him, and they have a son who goes to preschool every day.


    Roan: "."


    Considering that Ryder was thirty-eight years old, it was normal to have a wife and son.


    Look at Ryder''s explosive muscles all over his body. He was born in swat, and his wife is also a former policeman. Opening a gun shop is also in line with their identities as a couple.


    Looking at the hopeful eyes of the other party, Luo An nodded and was ready to agree. Anyway, he has nothing to do after get off work, and it is also good to shoot guns and contact with colleagues, and it happens to be able to practice his **** skills.


    Right at this moment, Roan''s cell phone rang suddenly.


    Picking up the phone, he found that the number was unknown. Luo An frowned slightly, pressed the answer button, and a lazy female voice came from the phone:


    "Roan, can you come to me after get off work later? I need your help with something."


    Roan frowned, the female manager of the "Queen of Flame" bar, Lydia?


    Ask for collection! Please recommend! Please follow up! Ask for anything! Thank you for your support!

 Chapter 45： Black Widow (read more!)

    Chapter 45 Black Widow (please read more!)


    "Sorry, Ryder."


    Hanging up the phone, Roan tilted his head and gave Ryder a sorry look, shaking the phone:


    "I''m afraid it won''t work tonight. I have something to do. How about next time? I will definitely go next time!"


    "OK!"


    Ryder didn''t care too much, grinned and started dancing with Roan to discuss throwing skills.


    Seeing that Roan easily flew business cards, photos, and signature pens, and could easily poke them into folders, Ryder yelled and begged Roan repeatedly to teach him this trick.


    "Why?"


    Roan agreed, but still didn''t understand.


    Ryder is married, and he hasn''t heard from Lacey that Ryder likes to go out and play around behind his wife''s back. Why should he learn this thing that seems to be used to pick up girls on the surface.


    And if you want to use it in actual combat, it will be impossible for a year or so. If you have this skill, it is better to shoot more guns and practice marksmanship.


    Hearing Roan''s question, Ryder''s face froze. He looked back at Lacey, who was lying on the table, and Mona, who was competing with the computer again. Said in the ear:


    "My wife''s favorite thing to do every weekend is to play games with me. I am not my opponent except fighting. I can''t beat her in marksmanship and other things, so I want to practice throwing skills and beat her again!"


    "Um, may I ask, where is your wife from?"


    "Texas!"


    ��.��


    Tilting his head and glanced at Ryder, whose face was red and his eyes were full of hope, Roan fell silent for a moment.


    I thought of the scene where Ryder was lying at the back of the office area doing push-ups since he joined the No. 5 investigation team when he saw that Ryder had no work tasks.


    I thought that Ryder was trying to build muscle mass and keep in shape.


    Looking at it now, I am afraid that Ryder lost the game, his wife would not let him go to bed, and his energy could not be released, so he had to do push-ups every day.


    The life of a man after marriage.


    Roan shook his head in his heart, raised his hand and patted Ryder''s shoulder heavily, with a solemn face:


    "Don''t worry, Ryder, I''ll teach you a quick way later. It''s a little hard to kill the enemy, but you can''t lose if you can throw it farther and deal more damage than whoever throws it!"


    Ryder''s excited lips trembled:


    "Roan! From today on, you will be my good brother for the rest of my life!"


    Roan: "."


    What does this make a man into?


    and Ryder continued to chat for a while, and the time soon reached 5:30 in the afternoon, which is the time for the FBI to get off work.


    "See you tomorrow, Roan!"


    "See you tomorrow!"


    Greeted several detectives, Roan, Mona, Ryder, and Lacey walked to the parking lot with a smile, and then found that his car was gone!


    "Wait a minute, Roan."


    Seeing the shocked expression on Roan''s face, Lacey was a little speechless, and finally Mona said:


    "Roan, the car you drove these two days is the bus of our No. 5 investigation team, not your own car. There is no mission today, so the bus was naturally taken away by Augustus and cleaned up."

    I still want to never buy a car in this life, and prostitute an FBI SUV for nothing!


    Roan rolled his eyes, scorned the stingy Augustus, rejected Ryder''s invitation, turned around and sat in the co-pilot of Lacey''s car.


    "Take me to the ''Flame Queen'' bar, thank you."


    "you sure?"


    Seeing Lacey''s frowning expression, Roan was taken aback, and asked in doubt:


    "What, is there something wrong?"


    "Lydia asked you to go?"


    "Exactly."


    Hearing what Roan said, Lacey took a deep breath, turned around and said to him seriously:


    "Roan, I will give you a suggestion as a friend and teammate. You''d better not maintain a long-term relationship with Lidia, OK?"


    Seeing the serious expression on Lacey''s face, Roan''s heart suddenly sank. He didn''t take the Glock 18 in the armory after get off work today. If Lydia plots against him, why don''t she go buy a gun later? ?


    Seeing that Roan was listening to her words seriously, Lacey heaved a sigh of relief and continued to explain:


    "Lydia is 30 years old this year, but she has been married 4 times. The times are Lydia''s 22, 24, 26, and 28 years old. After each marriage, her husband will be married within a year. die.


    After her husband dies, she will not have **** with anyone until she finds a new husband. "


    "WTF?"


    Luo An''s body hairs stood on end, and his scalp exploded:


    "You mean, Lydia used marriage to obtain her husband''s property, and then killed her husband after marriage!


    A black widow? "


    It''s not uncommon for Roan to have heard of this kind of thing in his previous life. For money, those women are more unscrupulous than men, and marriage is one of the means.


    Hearing what Roan said, Lacey was taken aback, but quickly shook her head and said:


    "No, Lydia didn''t gain property by killing her husband, on the contrary, after each husband died, Lydia''s own property would drop a lot.


    At the age of 22, Lydia inherited a series of pub chains from her father, but after several husbands died, she paid a lot of money to appease their husband''s parents. Now, she only has one ''Queen of Flames'' is gone. "


    "Um?"


    Roan was stunned when he heard Lacey''s words. Could it be that Lydia was the one being targeted?


    But it��s not right, those husbands are all dead, and they didn��t spend the money they got, so selfless for the sake of the family?


    "It has nothing to do with money, Roan."


    Recalling what Roan said just now, seeing the expression on Roan''s face, Lacey guessed his thoughts, so she shook her head and said:


    "It''s Lydia''s problem."


    Taking a deep breath, Roan became interested in this matter:


    "Please elaborate."


    "After several husbands died, our FBI also suspected that Lydia had poisoned her husband, so without Lydia''s knowledge, we signed an agreement with her husband''s family in private and conducted autopsies on her several husbands. .��


    Speaking of this, Lacey''s face was a bit unnatural, but she continued after taking a deep breath:


    "After the forensic examination, the bodies of those husbands showed no toxins and no traces of abuse or beating. The cause of death was also very simple-the **** was bleeding from the lower body, the kidneys were failing, and the heart suddenly stopped beating during strenuous exercise. , it was too late to rescue, and died suddenly.��


    Roan: "."


    In other words, these husbands were overindulgent and died of exhaustion in bed?


    At this time, Roan suddenly remembered his hideous face and sore lower back when he got up this afternoon. He was startled.


    Yes, he just noticed that Roan Greenwood had played games with women before, and his body had never hurt like this.


    And I don''t lack exercise on weekdays, it stands to reason that it is impossible to be so empty.


    The reason for the soreness in the lower back is obviously not her, but Lydia.


    "So, Roan, I hope you don''t go to Lydia."


    Seeing Roan bow his head in thought, his face flickering, Lacey heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:


    "Pretty girls are everywhere in New York, at worst I''ll give you a few business cards tonight."


    "No, I''m going to find Lydia."


    After pondering for a while, Roan looked at the system page and had some thoughts in his heart, so his eyes flashed, he rejected Lacey''s kindness, and said firmly:


    "I want to find out the truth about this matter."


    Obviously, this time Lydia came for herself.


    No matter what the opponent''s purpose is, fleeing without fighting is not a good strategy.

 Chapter 46： Heh, man (Please recommend! Please collect!)

    Chapter 46 Oh, man (please recommend! Please collect!)


    "What? Are you crazy?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, the smile on Lacey''s face suddenly froze, and then she shouted angrily:


    "Of course we also know that the deaths of Lydia''s previous husbands are not normal, but we can''t find evidence, Roan! Do you think you can find out the truth behind this incident by yourself?"


    "why not?"


    Roan put on his seat belt with a smile, and said with a smile:


    "Trust me, Lacey, I have an advantage over the FBI agents who have investigated the case before."


    Lacey was taken aback: "What advantage?"


    Roan grinned, showing his white teeth:


    "I can experience the feelings of Lydia''s previous husbands, which allows me to find clues that previous agents could not."


    ".FU-KYOU! Roan, you are an asshole!"


    Hearing this, Lacey scolded Roan with black lines all over her head, but she didn''t care about this dirty joke at all, and then asked with a serious face:


    "Are you sure, Roan, you really want to investigate this case?"


    "certainly."


    Roan nodded, indicating that Lacey can drive now, or she can drive herself.


    Resolutely rejected Roan''s idea of ??driving his own car, Lacey stepped on the accelerator, the car walked into the road, and at the same time said irritably:


    "Now that you have decided, I will not persuade you anymore. But when you are with Lydia, never turn off your phone. I will call you every once in a while. If I don''t answer for more than a minute, I will I will take someone to rescue you immediately, OK?"


    "What?"


    Roan looked shocked: "Is there any need to exaggerate?"


    "FU-K, this is for your own good! I''m afraid you''ll die on Lydia''s bed!"


    Lacey scratched her hair with regret on her face:


    "Last night, I should have watched you, or given you a girl, so as not to let you hook up with Lydia."


    "Thank you for your concern, Lacey, but you have to trust me."


    Roan glanced at the system page, and solemnly said to Lacey:


    "I''m not the kind of man whose brain is dominated by the people below. I will always stay awake at critical moments."


    Hearing this, Lacey tilted her head and glanced down at Roan, and then at Roan''s ordinary handsome face, turned her head and continued driving while curling her lips in disdain:


    "Oh, man."


    Roan: "."


    Five minutes later, across from the gate of the "Queen of Fire" bar in Manhattan, Lacey''s car slowly stopped.


    "OK, we have arrived at Lydia''s magic pit."


    After parking the car, Lacey tilted her head and glanced at the shining lights. She had already started to enter the bar one after another, and said to Roan with a displeased face:


    "I''ll cancel the date tonight, wait for you outside, and call you every once in a while."


    "Forehead."


    Roan, who had unbuckled his seat belt, was speechless when he heard this, and said:


    "It''s really not possible, Lacey, trust me, I will never do something I am not sure about."


    Lacey ignored Roan''s words, bowed her head and took out her phone, not knowing who she was sending a message to.


    "All right."


    Shrugged, Roan opened the door and got out of the car. Before leaving, he didn''t forget to turn his head and say:


    "I''ll have someone bring you dinner later."


    After finishing speaking, he turned and left.


    "Sure enough, no matter how good Roan is, he is still a man."


    After making an appointment with the person opposite on the phone to play again tomorrow, Lacey unfastened her seat belt and changed into a more comfortable position. Looking at Roan''s back, she snorted coldly:


    "Still an arrogant man."


    ��


    The ''Flame Queen'' bar is very large. In addition to the dance floor, bar counter, and singer''s performance area on the first floor, there are also the second, third, and fourth floors.


    The fourth floor includes the office of the bar owner, who claims to be the bar manager, Lydia.


    and several private rooms with strong privacy.


    Downstairs, the lights are shining, the head is bouncing and bouncing, and the money is glamorous.


    Upstairs, there are lots of smiles, cups of wine, and business.


    Walk into the bar, follow the lead of a waitress and take the elevator to the fourth floor. After walking to the door of the innermost private room, the waiter turns and leaves.


    Luo An frowned, and pushed open the door of the private room. The imaginary wine table, fruit, and a bunch of pious people drinking did not appear. Instead, what he saw was a huge room that was opened up, which was very spacious.


    In the four corners of the room, there are sandbags and pear balls, and there are a bunch of boxing gloves and dumbbells hanging on the wall. There are also treadmills and various fitness equipment, which are very complete.


    In the center of the room, there is a big red sofa and a simple four-corner ring. At this time, there was a woman holding a pet dog sitting on the sofa, and two women were boxing in the ring.


    Luo An recognized the 1.75-meter-tall man in the ring at a glance, 86-61-90, wearing protective gear, wearing double ponytails, wearing a black tube top, with mountains and peaks, black sports shorts underneath, and slender legs , a strong womanhood.


    The bar owner, Lydia Ruth.


    bang bang bang��


    Hearing the sound of the door being opened, the two women fighting on the ring stopped slowly.


    Lydia took off her protective gear and walked out of the ring. After drinking her saliva, she showed a smile, stepped forward and gave Roan a big hug:


    "Good evening honey, you''re so early."


    "I received your call, so I will come right after get off work."


    Roan hooked his mouth, tilted his head and stamped on Lydia''s mouth, then walked towards the ring in the middle of the room with his arms around her, and asked with a smile:


    "Why, did you call me here because you wanted to beat me up and avenge me for leaving this afternoon without waking you up?"


    "of course not!"


    Lydia waved her hand, signaled the coach to leave the room, and whispered in Roan''s ear:


    "I know you have to go to work today, you worked so hard last night, you worked hard."


    Hearing this, Roan''s eyelids twitched. Before he could continue speaking, Lydia took him to sit on the sofa, and introduced Roan with her palms up:


    "This is Ms. Yolande, I think you should know her."


    "Of course I know."


    Roan nodded, showing a standard smile with eight teeth on his face, and reached out to shake hands with Ms. Uland, who never forgets to bring her pet dog with her wherever she goes:


    "Hello, Ms. Yolande, nice to see you here."


    This Ms. Yolande was the wife of Congressman Yale who had played games with the clinic doctor in the ward for 40 minutes in the clinic in Skarsdale before coming out to find that the car was lost.


    But why did the wife of a congressman come to a place like the ''Flame Queen'' bar?


    "Hello, Agent Roan."


    Ms. Yolande reached out her hand and shook hands with Roan. Without any nonsense, she took out an envelope from the bag beside her and said:


    "Thank you for rescuing my daughter who skipped class from gangsters on the road outside the small town of Skarsdale. Here are some thank you money, I hope you can accept it."


    Roan raised his brows. It turned out that the girl in a sling who was bruised on her back in the shootout with the murderer before, was stuffed into the trunk by the murderer, and was finally hanged by her own hemostatic potion, was the daughter of Ms. Yolande. .


    Before Roan reached out to take the envelope, Ms. Yolande took out another check from her pocket and pressed it on the envelope. At the same time, she stared at Roan and said seriously:


    "This check is for $100,000. I hope you will completely forget what happened in Skarsdale from today on, okay?"


    Thank you for your support! The author updates every day and will never stop updating! Here I beg everyone to follow up and collect, thank you!

 Chapter 47： The hidden story behind the case (recommended tickets please!)

    Chapter 47 The Hidden Story Behind the Case (Please recommend!)


    Ms. Yolande, you don''t want to


    Phew!


    Roan hurriedly stopped the characteristic words of the island country echoing in his head, took the envelope and the check, looked at the amount inside, and smiled:


    "No problem, Ms. Yolande, I don''t remember where the town of Skarsdale is anymore."


    Hearing Luo An''s words, the expression on the lady''s face was completely relaxed, and the hand holding the bag was slowly released.


    Before Yolande came here, he was actually prepared for Roan Lion to open his mouth, and even prepared for the worst.


    But seeing Roan agreeing so quickly, and his ordinary handsome face only staring at the dollar, ignoring himself at all, I feel a little upset, what''s going on?


    Roan didn''t know what the woman with the pet dog in front of him was thinking. After seeing the 50,000 dollars in the envelope, he suddenly remembered something, so he raised his head and asked:


    "By the way, Ms. Yolande, I was not alone at the time, my teammate Mona was also with me, I don''t know"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Lydia''s eyes sparkled.


    And Yolande''s sudden jumping mood gradually calmed down again, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, and said in a calm tone as much as possible:


    "I will find an opportunity to contact her, this money is yours alone."


    "OK."


    Getting the answer he wanted, Roan restored the smile on his face, stuffed the check into the envelope and put it in his pocket, stretched out his hand and shook Yolande, with a look of justice on his face:


    "Protecting federal taxpayers is the duty-bound mission of our FBI agents."


    Lydia: "."


    Yolande: "."


    Rolling his eyes fiercely, Yolande picked up the pet dog, said a few words to Lydia, and then turned and left the room.


    Her daughter is still lying in the hospital.


    "You have a really thick skin, Roan."


    Sent Ms. Yolande out of the door of the private room, Lydia turned back, picked up the water and took another sip, and smiled to Roan who was sitting on the sofa:


    "Don''t you feel embarrassed when you say this?"


    ��As long as I don��t feel embarrassed, it��s someone else who is embarrassed.��


    Roan stretched out his hand, hugged Lydia in his arms, lowered his head and smiled and asked:


    "By the way, how did you meet Ms. Yolande?"


    "I run a bar. Isn''t it normal to know a congressman''s wife? It''s just that I don''t usually communicate much."


    Lydia broke away from Roan''s arms, turned her head and asked with a smile:


    "But I didn''t expect that she contacted me today and asked me to contact you. By the way, can you tell me secretly, what happened to the town of Skarsdale you mentioned?"


    In fact, after knowing that the girl with the sling was Yolande''s daughter, Roan simply contacted everything that happened that day, and roughly deduced the truth:


    Ms. Yolande went to the doctor in the clinic for a physical examination. Because the number and time of the examination were too long, she attracted the attention of the girl in a sling.


    But the girl in the sling was only suspicious and had no evidence, so she chose to skip class and drive to the clinic when Yolande went out for a physical examination again.


    On the one hand, it is to verify the thoughts in my heart, on the other hand, I may also want to talk to my mother.


    But I didn''t expect that as soon as I entered the small town of Skarsdale, I met Roan and the gangster who shot passionately, and his back was injured.


    The girl in the sling still had her own goal at this time, and the wound was not serious, so she didn''t choose to make a big deal, but took advantage of the situation and went to the clinic with the wound.


    At the entrance of the clinic, the girl in the sling saw her mother''s car. When the clinic nurse was helping her with the wound, she might have heard what happened in the ward.


    So after dealing with the wound, the angry sling girl got into her mother''s car, ready to give her a ''surprise''.


    But what she didn''t expect was that the gangster who had shot at Roan earlier also set his sights on the car after stealing the medicine in the clinic.


    The girl in the sling was injured and thrown into the trunk of the car.


    Behind it is the story of Roan and the gangster driving each other and finally discovering the girl with a sling.


    When Ms. Yolande learned that her daughter had appeared in the small town of Skarsdale and was injured by gangsters in her car, she should have guessed what happened to the girl in a suspender today.


    Ms. Yolande didn��t regret it afterwards. Roan didn��t know, but he knew that Ms. Yolande chose to keep the money to keep her mouth shut in the end, so as to prevent these things from passing from outsiders to the ears of her husband Yale Congressman.


    "No way, Lydia."


    Roan simply went through the whole thing in his mind, then pointed to the check in his pocket and shook his head and refused:


    "You know, I just got the thank you money from Ms. Yolande."


    "Really can not?"


    Lydia asked again.


    "Really can not."


    Roan shook his head and refused. He is a man of integrity. He always does what he says when he takes money to do things.


    Hearing this, the corners of Lydia''s mouth raised slightly, and she approached Roan''s ear, whispering:


    "Just tell me tonight"


    "Um?"


    Roan''s eyes lit up when he heard this, he licked his lips, tilted his head and asked:


    "you sure?"


    "certainly!"


    Taking a deep breath, Roan took off his suit jacket and hooked Lydia''s chin:


    "The rules of the gang, inspect the goods first, and then give the money."


    "no problem!"


    Lydia broke away from Roan''s big hand with a smile, and got up from the sofa:


    "But we''re going to dinner first, then we''re going to have a dance, and then we can inspect the goods."


    "No problem, honey."


    Roan nodded with a smile, and agreed to Lydia''s request:


    "Tonight, you have the final say."


    Hearing Roan''s offer of sweetness, she agreed to herself, and the corner of Lydia''s mouth rose as she walked towards the changing room:


    Heh, man.


    Looking at the slender figure in the changing room, Roan, who was sitting on the sofa, rolled up the cuffs of his white shirt, and curled his mouth:


    Let me see who you are and what purpose you have.


    Also, how did your previous husbands die?


    ��


    In the distance, in a high-rise building with flickering lights in the central area of ??Manhattan, in a spacious apartment, Vernis changed into a loose home clothes and was sitting in the study with her head down and writing materials.


    Ding-


    The computer next to her suddenly rang, and Vernis turned her head to look at the computer and found that it was an email.


    Seeing the signature of the sender of the email, Vernis frowned.


    This byline never sent her good news.


    Sure enough, when she opened the email, Verinisi gritted her teeth tightly and her eyes were full of anger:


    Regarding Agent Roann Greenwood''s application to join the Columbus Foundation, the proposal was rejected.


    Without hesitation, Vernis immediately picked up the phone beside her, pressed the number already rotten in her heart, and dialed it.


    Soon, the phone was picked up by the opposite party, and Vernis said directly:


    "Call Mr. Clement."


    ".OK."


    After waiting for a few minutes, a voice finally came from the other end of the phone. She took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in her heart. Verniss didn''t talk nonsense, and said directly:


    "Why didn''t I submit Roan Greenwood''s application to join the foundation?"


    "Because his level is too low."


    FBI Washington Headquarters, the elderly white man in a suit snorted twice, raised his hand to signal the secretary to bring a folder, opened the folder, looked at it, and replied:


    "Roann Greenwood has just become a full-time member less than 5 days ago, and he is only an official agent, so he is not eligible to join the Columbus Foundation."


    Verinis asked in a cold voice after hearing this:


    "Why is the foundation called the Columbus Foundation? It''s because we need to discover new continents, that is, new talents! Are you sure you don''t want to pass Roan Greenwood''s application?"


    "I am sure."


    beep beep��


    Vernice didn''t continue talking nonsense with the other party, and hung up the phone directly.


    I beg for recommendation tickets from all book friends! Thank you for your support!

 Chapter 48： Signature pen (please follow up!)

    Chapter 48 Signature Pen (Please follow up!)


    Hearing the busy signal on the phone, Clement didn''t care. He threw the folder back to the secretary and said without emotion:


    ��Keep an eye on Roan Greenwood.��


    "Okay, sir."


    The secretary turned and left. Clement lowered his head and continued to check the report, while whispering to himself:


    "It is indeed a talent to solve a serial murder case in a short period of time. But it is not enough."


    The ??level and so on are just reasons that Clement used to prevaricate Verenice.


    The real reason for Clement to refuse the application is that he is not sure whether Roan''s cracking of the murder case this time was just luck, or whether he really has the corresponding ability to solve the case.


    The solving of many cases in the world is related to the luck of the person in charge of the case.


    Unless Luo An can destroy the [Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case] ??written in the information in a short period of time, let this application wait for a while.


    On the other side, after Vernis hung up the phone, she suppressed the anger in her heart, pondered for a long time, and guessed that the so-called insufficient level was just an excuse.


    But it''s useless to guess. It can only be solved by Roan himself.


    "Let''s inform Augustus tomorrow."


    After thinking for a while, Vernis decided not to tell Roan about this matter, but to hold a meeting with Augustus tomorrow, and let him hurry up to solve the [Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case].


    As long as the case can be solved in a short period of time, Clement will no longer be able to prevaricate himself, and Roan will be able to join the Foundation smoothly.


    "snort."


    With a cold snort, Vernis took out a small white notebook under the desk and wrote down what happened today.


    ��Clement prevaricates himself and prevents Roan Greenwood from joining the Foundation. ''


    On the line above this line, it is written:


    ��Augus uses the bus for private use, and drives the SUV of investigation team No. 5 to and from get off work. ''


    ��


    ''Queen of Fire'' bar.


    Roan and Lydia returned directly to the manager''s office on the fourth floor after a brief dinner.


    Different from the music explosion and feasting scene on the first floor of the bar, the manager''s office is very quiet, only the sound of soft dance music echoing.


    Roan put his arms around Lydia''s waist, accompanied by dance music, his eyes met, his body swayed slightly.


    "Know it? Roan."


    Footsteps moved slightly, and Lydia in a red dress stroked Roan''s cheek with her right hand, and said with blurred eyes:


    "The first time I saw you last night, I knew this was going to happen."


    "Me too, honey."


    Accompanied by the sound of music, Roan slid his right hand around Lydia''s waist, and said with a chuckle:


    "From the first time I saw you yesterday, I knew that you have carved a mark in my heart that I will never be able to erase."


    The scumbag came out of his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth, and Roan secretly scolded Lacey, blaming her for teaching him badly.


    Lacey lying in the car outside the bar: "???"


    "I have some presents for you, honey."


    Lydia smiled even more when she heard Roan''s words. She pinched his **** hard, turned and left, and opened the door on the side of the office.


    In the bedroom, there is a warm big bed in the center, and a hanger full of clothes is placed on the left side of the big bed.


    On the right side, there are several bottles of wine soaked in ice cubes, and a working, steaming coffee machine.


    Lydia sat down on the big bed, crossed her legs, pointed to the hanger beside her with a smile and said:


    "Roan, tomorrow morning, I don''t want to see these clothes again, can you do it?"


    Looking at the dozens of clothes on the hanger, Roan frowned and laughed:


    "certainly!"


    But Roan didn''t go to the big bed immediately, but raised his pants, pointed to the bathroom beside him and said with a smile:


    "During the meal just now, the clothes were stained with some smell, I want to take a shower first, together?"


    "No, you go first."


    Lydia shook her head and refused, letting Roan go first, expressing that she would prepare a big surprise for him.


    "Waiting for you, honey!"


    Looking at the back of Roan entering the bathroom, Lydia blew him a kiss, and the smile on her face shrank slightly.


    Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, Lydia left the bedroom and walked to the desk beside her, and took out a signature pen from the pen holder.


    Go back to the bed, take out a bottle of wine from the ice, open it and pour it into two goblets, point the signature pen to one of the goblets and press lightly, a few drops of transparent liquid will flow from the The nib flowed out slowly, and the wine in the glass rippled.


    Simply shaking the wine glass, Lydia hooked the corner of her mouth slightly, threw the signature pen under the bed, and then stretched out her hand towards the ice cube beside her.


    Lydia raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said in a low voice, "Add some ice cubes to the wine glass, it tastes better."


    "Really? Then I will add some for you."


    Roan picked up an ice cube beside Lydia and gently put it in the wine glass.


    Lydia: "."


    Seeing the shock and bewilderment on the face of the other party, the smile on Roan''s face remained the same:


    "What''s the matter? Honey? Didn''t you want ice cubes?"


    Before this, Roan still had a little bit of longing, hoping that Lydia would just be greedy for her body and have no other thoughts.


    But relying on his previous life''s killer ability, Roan quietly walked out of the bathroom, and when he saw Lydia adding ingredients to the wine glass, he couldn''t help but sigh in his heart.


    If there are no accidents, the deaths of Lydia''s previous husbands should not be accidents.


    But Roan was puzzled, why did Lydia follow her?


    He has no money, no house and no car. Two have no background, both parents died. Relying on his teammates for work, sleeping in a hotel, it can be said that he has nothing but handsomeness.


    What can you do if you stare at yourself? Let him steal information from the FBI?


    Then it would be more reliable to go to the CIA.


    "Honey, don''t get me wrong."


    Lydia looked at Roan who was smiling beside her, and tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart. She moved her left hand slightly, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face again:


    "It''s just a little fun potion, the kind that makes you happier tonight."


    "Oh, is it so?"


    Roan looked at her with a smile, pointed at her back, and said:


    "If you hadn''t held the pin in your left hand when you spoke, the reasoning might have been more convincing."


    ".Shit!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Lydia cursed secretly, and stopped pretending at the moment, her eyes flickered coldly, she threw the wine glass towards Roan''s face with a false move with her right hand, blocking his sight, and at the same time followed up with her left hand, pinching the pin Xiang Luoan''s neck, the moves are simple and practical, without muddle along.


    It''s a pity that Roan never gave up his defense against Lydia after seeing the other party pouring medicine into the wine glass.


    The moment the other party made a move, Roan immediately picked up another wine glass on the table in front of his neck, blocking the pin in Lydia''s hand, and at the same time grabbed Lydia''s right hand, turned the opening of the wine glass towards her, With a shake, the wine instantly spilled over Lydia''s face.


    Jingle Bell-


    Lydia fell to the ground, and Roan''s cell phone rang suddenly. When he took it out, it turned out to be Lacey.


    "Hello?"

 Chapter 49： NSA (seeking to follow up!)

    Chapter 49 NSA (seeking to follow up!)


    "Thank God you''re still alive."


    Hearing that there was no strange voice coming from the other end of the phone, Lacey snorted coldly:


    "Have you not started the game with Lydia yet? Or is it over?"


    "Your last sentence is an insult to me."


    Roan rolled his eyes: "I''m fine, let''s talk later."


    Hung up the phone, Roan bent down to pick up the dropped pin, saw an unnatural blue light on the tip of the pin, and laughed:


    "You really gave me a big surprise tonight, honey, what is this? Some kind of neurotoxin?"


    "Fu-k!"


    Lydia, who was slumped on the ground, cursed secretly. After wiping off the drink on her face, she raised her head and gave Roan a hard look, and then explained in a flat tone:


    "It''s not a toxin, but a potion that can quickly make people faint."


    "Just fainted?"


    Roan''s eyelids moved, and he bent down to look at Lydia, who was a little makeup but still very beautiful, and laughed:


    "Do you think I believe it or not?"


    "snort!"


    Lydia snorted coldly, raised her hair to reveal her snow-white neck: "You can try piercing me."


    "OK."


    Hearing this, Roan''s eyes flickered, and then he raised his hand and stabbed Lydia''s neck with a pin.


    "F"


    Feeling the faint tingling pain from her neck, Lydia''s eyes widened instantly, but as soon as she uttered a word, she rolled her eyes and fell back.


    He reached out and touched Lydia''s conscience, making sure that her heart was still beating and she was not dead.


    Roan nodded: "It really isn''t a toxin."


    When Lydia said that the pin was not toxin and lifted her hair, Luo An was half convinced.


    Some people would risk their own lives, but women like Lydia are obviously not like that.


    At the same time, Roan also judged that Lydia''s real identity was probably not an agent, let alone a spy.


    High probability, not 100%.


    The reason is very simple. Lydia is rich, beautiful and has a good figure, and she is not too old at the age of 30.


    Food is not the most expensive in the world, but it is not cheap either. All behaviors in life are aligned with the word enjoyment.


    Although the "Flame Queen" bar is not ranked in the whole city of New York, it is also well-known in Manhattan.


    This kind of woman cannot be an agent, and the basic requirement of an agent is not to attract attention.


    Lydia''s behavior, actions, and this face full of temptation perfectly avoided the basic requirements of the agent.


    Spies are also impossible. As I said before, the FBI has investigated Lydia. If she is really a spy, it is impossible for the FBI to find out all the problems.


    After excluding agents and spies, there is another possibility of Lydia''s identity, Roan''s previous life''s colleague��the killer.


    But Lydia''s skills are average, and her behavior in the bar every day can''t be called swagger, it can also be called swagger.


    No killer in the world would do that.


    Besides, Roan, the former killer, didn''t feel the slightest bit of killer temperament in Lydia.


    After temporarily ruling out these possibilities, Roan couldn''t guess what Lydia''s identity was.


    If you can''t think of it, don''t think about it. You''re just in a coma. Just wait for Lydia to wake up and ask directly.


    Without hesitation, Roan bent down and hugged Lydia, who had fallen into a coma, onto the bed. He took out a few black silk from the clothes hanger next to him, folded it in half several times, and then lifted Lydia''s hands up and tied them to the head of the bed.


    The same goes for your feet.


    Then


    Roan turned and left the bedroom, walked to the desk in the manager''s office, and began to search for information related to Lydia''s true identity.


    A few minutes later, Lydia woke up slowly.


    Feeling the bound hands and feet, Lydia''s heart beat violently, she twisted her body slightly, and found that the feeling of the clothes was still there, and then she calmed down.


    "Shit!"


    Gritting her silver teeth tightly, Lydia twisted her hands calmly, preparing to break free from the stockings that bound her, while scolding Roan from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time preparing to teach him a profound lesson in the future.


    At this moment, Roan suddenly walked over from the manager''s office. Seeing this, Lydia hurriedly stopped and closed her eyes to pretend that she was still awake.


    "Stop pretending, honey."


    Instead of playing the little game of ''guess, I guess, are you awake'' with Lydia, Roan held a signature pen of the same type that Lydia had thrown under the bed before, which he found in the dark compartment of the desk.


    Holding it in his hand, Roan sat down beside Lydia and said with a smile:


    "Now that you''re awake, let''s talk. Come on, the first question, who are you?"


    "you"


    Lydia opened her eyes, eyes full of anger, and just about to yell, Roan pressed the pen.


    A drop of liquid flowed out and landed on Lydia''s cheek. Roan''s tone was amiable, with a warm smile:


    "Don''t swear, honey."


    "I"


    Seeing that the signature pen was getting closer and closer to her mouth, Lydia subconsciously moved her body backwards anxiously, but her hands and feet were bound, and the moving distance was really limited. After she woke up, she hurriedly shouted:


    "I''m a senior NSA informant!"


    "???"


    Hearing this, Luo An was stunned.


    NSA, full name National Security Agency, is the National Security Agency of the United States, which belongs to the Department of Defense and is an intelligence agency of the federal government.


    Seeing Roan''s expressionless face, Lydia thought he didn''t believe it, so she hurriedly explained:


    "It''s real here! I didn''t lie to you! You can call ** this number! The other party is my person in charge! She can prove my identity!"


    After a moment of silence, Roan temporarily moved the pen in his hand away from her face, fixed his eyes on Lydia, and asked sharply:


    "Why is your Security Bureau targeting me?"


    "The Security Bureau is not targeting you, all this is just my private behavior."


    Seeing that her identity has been completely exposed, Lydia sighed, and stopped hiding it now, and said directly:


    "I just want to use your identity to approach the agent of your No. 5 investigation team: Mona Evans."


    Mona Evans, whose father''s name is Javari Evans, is a staff operation officer of the Operations Department in a certain CIA field.


    During a certain mission a year ago, an operation commanded by Mona''s father resulted in casualties beyond the plan.


    And in the follow-up investigation, it was found that a large amount of funds in this mission were unknown, so after the mission ended, the CIA started a systematic investigation of Mona''s father.


    "What does this have to do with your NSA?"


    Hearing this, Roan was a little puzzled. Even if Mona''s father enriched himself, it was an internal problem of the CIA itself, and it was not the NSA''s turn to intervene.


    Besides, the CIA has enriched its own pockets a lot, and Mona''s father is no different.


    "You are right, the matter has nothing to do with the NSA."


    Lydia nodded and agreed with Roan''s statement, but then said that half a year ago, when the NSA was monitoring an organized crime group in the Los Angeles area, it suddenly heard "Jacquel Joe En'' name.


    And this Jacquier, according to the data, was one of the soldiers killed in Mona''s father''s failed operation.

 Chapter 50： potion

    Chapter 50 Potion


    After confirming that Roan had no intention of continuing to do anything, Lydia breathed a sigh of relief and continued to tell the ins and outs of the whole incident.


    After finding out the identity of ''Jacquele'', the NSA immediately sent someone to the CIA to inquire, wanting to know what happened to the original failed operation and what was the relationship with Mona''s father. ''Jacquele'' next What actions will be taken, will it pose a threat to the top government


    "Wait a minute, Lydia."


    Hearing this, Roan interrupted Lydia''s narration with a wave of his hand, and asked in a deep voice:


    "What does this have to do with Mona? And, what does this have to do with me?"


    Lydia, who was interrupted, was a little upset, but seeing the signature pen in Roan''s hand, she hummed twice and changed to a more comfortable position before explaining:


    "As I said before, Mona''s father had worked in the CIA for over 30 years, and the NSA couldn''t find useful clues on this old agent.


    So they started monitoring Mona Evans, hoping to find a breakthrough in his daughter. "


    Roan frowned when he heard this. He didn''t expect that Mona, an FBI, actually had a CIA father, and he was also monitored by the NSA


    Hey guy, the American intelligence organization is here for a meeting?


    Speaking of this, Lydia saw Roan''s uncertain expression, and her voice slowly stopped.


    "Um?"


    As soon as the voice disappeared, Roan regained his attention immediately, picked up the signature pen and put it on Lydia''s cheek again, and asked in a deep voice:


    "Go on, what does these things have to do with me? Why are you staring at me?"


    "This was actually an accident, Roan."


    Looking at Roan''s face becoming faster than her own, Lydia snorted coldly in her heart and cursed loudly, but she still explained honestly:


    "After I heard about this incident from my supervisor, I thought about how to get close to Mona and establish a good relationship with her, so as to try to get useful clues.


    According to the agreement, as long as I can get useful leads, I can get a lot of money from the person in charge.


    But in the process of investigating Mona, I found that this woman is just as difficult to deal with as her father.


    She doesn''t have a boyfriend or girlfriend, and she goes shopping alone, and ignores anyone who strikes up a conversation.


    My daily life is only accompanied by the computer, and I really can''t find a suitable reason to approach her.


    A few days ago, I learned that Mona had suddenly changed from a trainee agent to a full-time agent, and the person who helped her was named Roanne Greenwood, so I"


    "So you decided to approach me, use me as a breakthrough, approach Mona, and then use Mona as a breakthrough to investigate Mona''s father, right?"


    Following Lydia''s words, Roan took it, and then was very speechless.


    What is this, playing games? In order to defeat the big boss, first go to copy A, in order to pass copy A, you need to pass copy B


    Seeing the speechless expression on Roan''s face, Lydia was also very wronged.


    What can she do? Mona, like her father, is cautious and always on guard against others. She has no way to get close to her.


    If Roan hadn''t appeared, she would have given up on this mission.


    Judging from the information she collected, Roan, who also helped Mona, can become her friend.


    The remaining Lacey, Ryder and other members of the No. 5 investigation team are just teammates to Mona.


    After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Roan was going to talk to Mona at work tomorrow, telling her to be more careful in the future, and then turned his gaze back to Lydia, with a smile slowly showing on his face.


    "What are you going to do?"


    Seeing the expression on Roan''s face, Lydia''s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly backed away.


    She can see now that Roan is definitely not as kind as he appears on the surface. When he meets something that is not good for him, the speed of changing his face is as fast as those guys from the NSA.


    No, he is scarier than those in the NSA, at least when the NSA interrogates others, they don''t smile!


    "Don''t worry, Lydia, as long as you answer a few questions, I won''t do anything to you."


    Seeing Lydia''s panicked expression, Roan helped her brush away the broken hair on her forehead, raised the pen in his hand with a smile, and asked:


    "I''m just a little confused, what is the liquid inside? Why are you so scared?"


    "this"


    Lydia''s throat tightened, she swallowed and explained:


    "It''s really just a pleasure potion, the kind that makes you happier."


    "you sure?"


    "I am sure."


    Looking at what he asked, Lydia didn''t let go. Luo An felt more and more that the potion was not simple, so he got up and walked aside, turned his back to Lydia, and took out two new goblets.


    Taking advantage of the situation, he also took out the [Sensitive Potion] from the system.


    Turning around, Roan walked to the big bed and poured some wine into two goblets.


    In front of Lydia, Roan poured all the liquid in the signature pen into the goblet on the left, and poured all the [Sensitive Potion] in the small glass bottle into the goblet on the right.


    Shaking it a few times, Roan walked up to Lydia with two goblets and laughed:


    "If it''s really a **** potion, how about you choose the one on the left?"


    Lydia frantically rubbed her stockings with her hands, almost crying on her face:


    "Roan, my dear, I was wrong, I''m sorry, don''t choose okay, you can play whatever you want tonight, you can do whatever you want"


    Roan frowned, why does this sound like I am forcing others?


    I''m not a bad person, obviously I''m the victim.


    If it wasn''t for my quick response, maybe I would be the one who is **** now.


    Shaking his head, Roan asked in a gentle tone:


    "Lydia, tell me, will the medicine in the signature pen cause death on the spot?"


    Lydia''s voice trembled: "No, no."


    Roan nodded, pointed to the goblet on the right and said: "The potion in this cup will not kill people on the spot, I didn''t lie to you.


    It��s just that the follow-up will make you suffer for a long time, the kind of pain that makes you feel miserable. "


    Hearing that her life was not in danger, Lydia swallowed: "Really?"


    Luo An''s heart sank, but the expression on his face remained the same, still gentle and indifferent:


    "Of course it is true, Lydia, I don''t need to lie to you. And you are a senior informant of the NSA, I will definitely not kill you.


    Actually, as long as you tell me what is the composition of the medicine in that signature pen, and then answer my other question truthfully, I will let you go now, and you don''t have to drink the glass of wine on the right, how about it?


    In addition, even if you drink the glass of wine on the right, you will still answer my question, but you will be tortured. "


    Seeing that the expression on Roan''s face did not seem to be fake, Lydia hesitated for a moment, and whispered:


    ��.I drink the glass on the right.��


    Hearing this, Roan''s heart sank completely.


    Lydia would rather bet that she could survive the torture, even drinking a potion that she didn''t know what it was, rather than drinking the potion in the signature pen, and even less willing to tell herself its ingredients.


    But she just wanted to drink the potion in the signature pen, what does it mean.


    Extract of white flour?


    Want to use that kind of thing to control yourself and get close to Mona?


    What about after approaching Mona? Is that thing addictive?


    How serious is the addiction?


    Also, my back pain before, is it because of the medicine in the signature pen?


    A lot of questions filled his mind. Looking at Lydia''s exquisite face, and thinking of those people who ate flour, and ended up eating flour, Roan was in a very complicated mood.


    Put the wine glass on the right to Lydia''s mouth and pour it slowly. Lydia opened her mouth and drank it clean in a few seconds.


    Tilting her head and wiping her mouth with the pillow on the bed, Lydia watched Roan throw the wine glass containing the liquid of the signature pen aside, slightly relaxed her anxiety, and asked tentatively:


    "Roan, I''m already drunk, how are you going to torture me?"


    Speaking of this, Lydia saw that Roan''s expression was wrong, and suddenly realized after thinking for two seconds, she turned over and made a seductive arc on the bed, her tone was full of charm:


    "Alternatively, you can let me go and we can have a good night, I liked your efforts last night"


    Roan turned around, found a bunch of cosmetics in Lydia''s bag, picked out a white makeup brush, sat back beside Lydia, and asked:


    "Try this?"


    "?"


    One minute later:


    "!!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 51： TLR Potion (Read More!)

    Chapter 51 TLR Pharmacy (Please read more!)


    The sensitive potion is actually a torture potion!


    People who drink this potion will have all the senses of the body magnified. For example, when the makeup brush touched Lydia''s neck skin, it was only slightly itchy, but this time Lydia doubted life.


    Roan pinched her arm slightly. What was originally a slight pain turned into severe pain, as if her arm was suddenly broken.


    When the makeup brush was all the way down. Lydia now looked at Roan''s side face, eyes full of horror.


    Picked up the wine glass and poured Lydia a glass of wine. Roan fed her slowly and motioned her not to drink too fast, then tilted his head and asked:


    "How about it, do you want to continue?"


    "No no no"


    Lydia, with a dry mouth and a hoarse voice, shook her head again and again, her eyes were red, and her face was full of pleading.


    "Then let''s talk."


    Throwing aside the makeup brush that turned from white to yellow, Roan took out a new makeup brush, picked up the signature pen from the ground, and asked:


    "What the **** is this thing? What are its ingredients?"


    Looking at the signature pen and makeup brushes in front of her eyes, Lydia felt like crying.


    She overestimated herself and underestimated the torture Roan said.


    It is true that women are made of water, but they do not produce water by themselves, and they need to be replenished from the outside when it dries up.


    Facts have proved that everything must be done in moderation.


    Too much is too late, the wisdom of the ancients in the East.


    Taking a deep breath, Lydia controlled her trembling limbs to change positions, and explained to Roan in a trembling voice:


    "I don''t know the complete name of the potion in the signature pen. I only know that people in the NSA have always called it ''TLR potion''. Its ingredients are a mixture of hallucinogens, white flour, tranquilizers and other potions."


    Hearing this, Luo An''s heart sank, but the expression on his face did not change, and he continued to ask:


    "What does it do?"


    "Control others."


    Since he has already spoken, there is no need to continue to hide, especially when the makeup brush in Roan''s hand shakes, Lydia''s body also shakes subconsciously.


    After hearing Roan''s question, Lydia said without hesitation:


    "After taking this potion, the target person will fall into hallucinations for a period of time, and the NSA will continue to repeat some words to the target person during the hallucination time.


    After taking the drug many times and entering hallucinations, the target person''s subconscious mind will remember what the NSA personnel said, and then at critical moments, the target person will do things that meet the expectations of the NSA.


    In addition, the white flour extract in it is reprocessed by NSA. People who take this drug will develop an addiction that they can no longer quit in this life after the first time.


    The target person will subconsciously look for the person who made him fall into hallucinations when the next addiction attack occurs and the body is uncomfortable, so... "


    "So after I take this potion, I will be under your control for the rest of my life, and if I feel uncomfortable, I will subconsciously come to you for comfort.


    Afterwards, my body became more and more uncomfortable, and the number of times I came to you for comfort became more and more, falling into an endless loop.


    At a certain critical moment, I will subconsciously do what you hypnotized me and asked me to do, right? "


    Roan nodded, he understood Lydia''s words, and also thought of some things the old killer told him in his previous life.


    In the 1950s and 1960s, that is, around 1950-1960, the CIA once conducted a notorious "MK-ULtra" project, the content of which was to study how to use drugs to control others.


    During this period, the CIA carried out more than one hundred mind control experiments, and countless people died. Later, with the resignation of a certain president, this plan also stopped on the surface.


    The reason why it is said to be obvious is because the department conducting the experiment is the CIA, and no one knows what their virtues are.


    The NSA and the CIA are closely connected, so it is normal to get some medicine.


    The L in the ''TLR'' medicine most likely represents the hallucinogen ''LSD'', the scientific name is ergot diethylamide, which can make people insane and lose their intelligence when mixed with other medicines.


    Although Roan doesn''t know what the remaining ''T'' and ''R'' are, they are certainly not good things.


    "Can you let me go, Roan? I was wrong, sorry, really sorry."


    Seeing that Roan bowed his head in silence after listening to his words, Lydia whispered:


    "But don''t worry, when I met you for the first time last night, I didn''t know that you were Mona Evans'' teammate, so I didn''t use TLR potion on you.


    I didn��t realize your identity until I got up this afternoon and watched the rebroadcast of the news, so I decided to use TLR on you temporarily, but you still saw it through. "


    "Um?"


    Hearing Lydia''s words, Roan was taken aback. She didn''t use TLR on her yesterday, so why did her waist hurt so much after getting up?


    Is it really a lack of physical exercise?


    impossible! Absolutely impossible!


    When it comes to issues of dignity, a man''s mouth is harder than a diamond.


    Roan Greenwood did play games with women before, but since he became a new trainee agent of the FBI, he has not interacted with women for more than two months.


    My daily life is sitting in an office, and I only do a few push-ups once in a while when exercising.


    Roan was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said with a smile:


    "Last question, Lydia, I''ll let you go after answering."


    Lydia nodded, and Roan''s question froze her face instantly:


    "How did your previous husbands die?"


    Seeing Lydia bow her head in silence, Roan smiled and shook the makeup brush on her hand.


    ��.��


    Feeling that her body has subconsciously moved towards the opponent''s makeup brush, Lydia felt very sad and indignant.


    Hate Roan only a little bit, and hate myself for being stubborn just now.


    Why do you have to be stubborn? Obviously Luo An told himself before that he would answer his questions after drinking, but he was tortured


    Lydia started PUA herself.


    "I can answer this question for you."


    After a long silence, Lydia finally chose to answer Roan''s question, but before that, she made her own request:


    "I want to apply for FBI witness protection. Otherwise, even if you torture me to death, I won''t tell this matter."


    Roan''s face darkened, and he realized that the hidden story behind this incident was unusual.


    As for what Lydia said later that tortured her to death, Roan didn''t believe it at all.


    Because when Lydia said this, her body kept rubbing against the makeup brush, and she didn''t look like she was afraid of being tortured.


    Lydia: "."


    After a moment of silence, Roan nodded and agreed to Lydia''s request, but didn''t let her speak immediately, but searched in every corner of the room again.


    "What are you looking for?"


    Lydia was a little puzzled.


    "Check to see if there are any small toys listening to you in the room."


    When Roan searched for Lydia''s identity in the room before, he didn''t find the monitoring device.


    But there is no big mistake in being careful, and it doesn��t take much effort to find it one more time. It is always good to be careful.


    After a while, Roan finished rummaging again, but found no monitoring equipment. Lydia was also relieved when she saw this.


    "OK, you can talk."


    Roan sat back on the bed and saw that Lydia''s lips were a little chapped, so he poured her another glass of wine.


    "Thanks."


    Lydia, whose limbs were still bound, thanked her and took a sip of her wine.


    Seeing the makeup brushes being thrown to the ground, he subconsciously sighed.


    After realizing it, Lydia shook her head hastily, put aside the strange thoughts in her heart, and said solemnly:


    "This is a plan secretly carried out by a certain high-level NSA executive without telling the FBI."


    Thank you jeuan, waiting for you cb, half-size vest, second bull of the Chen family, pass with a smile 483, old bookworm, demon neighbor.

 Chapter 52： Large Immortal Jump (Please recommend! Please collect!)

    Chapter 52 Large Immortal Jump (Please recommend! Please collect!)


    Seeing the doubts on Roan''s face, Lydia asked:


    "Do you know how many fugitives from other countries the federal government takes in every year?"


    This Roan really doesn''t know, whether in this life or the previous life, he has never paid attention to this information.


    Lydia didn''t expect Roan to answer, but continued to explain on her own:


    ��Since thirty years ago, the number of fugitives from other countries entering the federal territory has increased exponentially every year through legal or illegal means.


    Ordinary murderers, the NSA doesn��t care. What they care about is those political fugitives who enter the federal government with a lot of money from their own country and convert it into US dollars. "


    Hearing this, Roan''s face showed a look of surprise. He guessed something and asked:


    "You just kill these political prisoners and get money from them?"


    "No, it''s not that simple."


    When Lydia heard this, she gave Roan a supercilious look. If the NSA''s high-level methods were so crude, the FBI would have discovered it long ago, and the NSA would not let him go.


    "When my father just died, there was a huge inheritance tax to pay, and I couldn''t afford it at the time."


    Referring to her father, Lydia''s voice was a little dull:


    ��Just when I was at a loss, people from the NSA came to me. They said that as long as I complete one of their tasks, I can get a lot of money, which is enough for me to pay the **** inheritance tax.��


    "You agreed?"


    "Yes, I agreed to the NSA to contact my person in charge without hesitation"


    Lydia''s face was very ugly. The chain of bars left to her by her father after his death, as well as her pretty face, seemed to have become a reminder at that time, and many people were eyeing her.


    ��After I agreed, the NSA contacted my person in charge, gave me a file folder of a certain man��s information, and told me that I must marry him within a year.


    This man was my first husband when I got married at the age of 22.


    And his father was a political fugitive who sneaked into the federal government from Western Europe with a lot of money a few years ago. The political prisoner died of natural causes a year ago. "


    Hearing this, Roan suddenly realized.


    Most of the political prisoners from other countries who fled to the federal government are registered with the FBI, but if those people did not commit crimes in the country, the FBI would not bother to catch them on weekdays.


    A certain high-level NSA stared at these political fugitives who sneaked into the federal government.


    To be precise, they are targeting the money of these fugitives.


    It is inappropriate to directly kill these political fugitives. The NSA executives want to steal the money by themselves. They don��t want to share it with the FBI, let alone attract the attention of the FBI.


    So they set their sights on the next generation of political fugitives.


    The FBI pays more attention to the political fugitives themselves, and has no interest in their next generation. The FBI will not pay too much attention to the parents of inheritance snatching.


    This gave the NSA top executives a chance.


    The next thing is very logical:


    Find a girl to marry the next generation of political fugitives, find a way to figure out their family''s property composition, various passwords, company contracts, etc., and then kill the second generation.


    After the death of the second generation, the girl left the family. Before she left, she pretended to leave some money to the second generation relatives to erase her reputation of marrying for money.


    Based on the information from the girl, the NSA executives sent people to suppress the second generation''s company, investment, etc., and took it into their own hands.


    During the whole process, second-generation marriage is a normal behavior, and the FBI will not pay attention, let alone investigate the identity of the wife.


    Some family members did not find anything wrong during the whole process, and even felt that the girl was a good girl for not taking advantage of the situation to ask for inheritance.


    Some family members found something wrong and suspected the girl, but they couldn''t find evidence at all, and the NSA executives would send people to erase all traces.


    In addition, according to Lydia, what caused her husband''s death was a new type of drug developed by the CIA in India, combined with South Asian specialties, which could not be detected by forensic doctors.


    In this way, a large fairy dance led by NSA is constantly being staged in various states of the Federation.


    Over the years, not without FBI agents finding problems.


    But the FBI has no evidence, and the NSA has been checking for gaps and making up for the gaps, so this matter has continued until now and there is no clear detonation.


    Good guy, Roan called him good guy after listening to Lydia''s narration.


    "So, the rumors outside that you have fewer and fewer bars are false."


    Roan��s mouth twitched, Lydia got enough money to pay inheritance tax once she got married, what about the remaining three times? How much did she get?


    Also, Lydia is so rich as a grassroots businessman, so the NSA executives


    Can''t think about it, the more I think about it, the more angry I get.


    "It''s not a lie that I did sell the chain bars my father left me."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Lydia shrugged and said calmly:


    "I just used all the money to buy the building. One-third of the 22-story building where the bar ''Flame Queen'' is located is mine."


    Roan: "."


    Is there a shortage of male employees in your industry?


    Shaking his head and kicking the thoughts in his head into the trash can, Roan asked with a serious face:


    "Aren''t you afraid that the NSA executives will kill you girls in order to hide this matter?"


    ��At first, I wasn��t afraid, because Daisy, the NSA contact I first contacted, was a woman from the previous generation who specialized in this kind of mission, and she was alive and well.


    When Dai Xi was too old to continue to engage in this kind of task, he changed his job to become a contact person and was responsible for contacting us.


    At the same time, Daisy also brainwashed us, saying that those political prisoners are the sinners of their country. They deceive the people of their own country, use their power for personal gain, and make a lot of money. It is a just act for us to take money from their descendants. "


    Speaking of this, the expression on Lydia''s face also changed, and she looked at Roan very solemnly:


    "But after I completed the mission last time, Daisy disappeared completely, and I couldn''t contact her no matter what.


    The new contact said that Daisy left the Federation and went to South America, but... "


    Hearing this, Luo An''s mouth curled into a sneer:


    "It is very possible to leave the Federation, but it is uncertain whether the place to go is South America or heaven."


    "I need your help, Roan."


    Seeing the expression on Roan''s face, Lydia''s eyes shimmered, she hurriedly squeezed to his side, and said in a very sincere tone:


    "I''m telling the truth. I really don''t want to die. I can be a tainted witness of the FBI. I can tell you whatever you ask!"


    "Okay, Lydia."


    Ignoring the seductive body around him, Roan sat up from the bed and walked towards the hanger. While searching for clothes, he accidentally found a pair of handcuffs.


    After two seconds of silence, Roan turned around and tore apart the stockings that bound Lydia''s hands, and replaced them with handcuffs, then took out his mobile phone and called Lacey.


    "Hello?"


    "Playing games is fast, Roan."


    After taking a bite of the burger, Lacey said vaguely:


    "Did you not ask anything? As I said, Lydia is not an easy woman. Let''s just give up the case. Anyway, there is no reward for solving the case."


    "No, I already asked the answer."


    Roan glanced back at Lydia, who was lying on the bed and kept begging him to untie her legs, and said with a frown:


    "Do you know where Vernice''s home is?"


    The relationship is too big, and I can''t handle it as a small detective. It''s time to put more burden on the leader.


    Thank you for your support! The data that you follow up during the new book period is the most important. I implore all book lovers not to keep books! Thank you everyone!

    Chapter 53 Reporting to the Chief (Please follow up! Please collect!)


    "Lydia told the truth?"


    Hearing what Roan said, Lacey looked shocked, then hurriedly swallowed the hamburger in her mouth, and said to the phone with a serious expression:


    "Roan, you won''t torture Lydia, right? Don''t do that!


    If Lydia''s lawyer requests an injury test later, all the answers you ask now will be rejected by the judge! "


    "Forehead."


    Looking back at Lydia sitting on the bed, Roan twitched his mouth:


    "Don''t worry, I have sense of proportion, I didn''t torture her.


    You should hurry up and tell me Vernis''s home address. "


    "OK."


    There was a moment of silence, thinking of Roan''s performance in the process of solving the case, Lacey still chose to believe him, so she said:


    "Virnis'' home is not very far from here, I can drive you there."


    "OK, you call Vernis first, I will take Lydia downstairs immediately."


    Nodding, Roan hung up the phone, turned to look at Lydia, and said with a serious expression:


    "Lydia, I will take you to my officer and ask her to add you to the first-level witness protection list. But the premise is that you didn''t lie to me just now, and you didn''t play tricks on the way to the officer''s house, you know ?��


    "Trust me, Roan."


    It''s her own life at stake, and Lydia''s expression is also very serious.


    When Roan undid the stockings on her legs, but did not untie the handcuffs on her wrists, Lydia said nothing.


    rushed to the wine bottle next to the bed, grabbed a bottle of wine and drank it up.


    She was dying of thirst.


    "Drink less, Lydia."


    Roan pulled out a lady''s coat from the hanger on the side, covered Lydia''s bare shoulders, and laughed:


    "I don''t want her to suspect that I brought a drunk to make fun of her when I see the officer later."


    "Ah."


    Throwing the wine bottle away, Lydia gave Roan a hard look.


    Why did I drink so much wine, someone didn''t know why?


    Roan shrugged, what does it have to do with me, I told you before, you didn''t believe it.


    ��


    On the road, Roan and Lydia sat in the back seat, and Lacey drove.


    Before a traffic light, the car stopped slowly. Lacey saw the handcuffs on Lydia''s wrists through the rearview mirror, and her eyelids twitched.


    If you read correctly, the handcuffs seem to be the same handcuffs that she and her female partner used to play games on the bed.


    "What''s the matter, Lacey?"


    Seeing Lacey looking at him, Roan asked suspiciously:


    "Any questions?"


    Lydia, who didn''t know what she was thinking when she lowered her head, heard this, and turned her gaze to Lacey.


    You both have a problem with your whole being!


    Lacey let out a long breath, swallowed a lot of questions in her heart, and finally picked up the phone in the passenger seat and shook it:


    "It''s nothing, I just want to tell you that when Verenice answered the phone just now, she didn''t seem to be in a good mood."


    Vernice is really in a bad mood.


    She originally wanted to hide the fact that Roan''s application to join the foundation was rejected for a while.


    After the [Huahu Female Corpse Serial Murder Case] ??was solved, she resubmitted the application, and this incident passed quietly without Luo An knowing.


    But I didn''t expect that Lacey contacted me suddenly just now, saying that Roan was in a hurry and would come to me later, so should I tell Roan the news?


    If you tell me, as a leader, I promise to invite others, but later tell them that I have not done it, where will I put my face?


    If you don��t tell me, in case Roan asks questions


    In the study room of the apartment, Verinisi looked at the small notebook in front of her, with a complex expression, and continued to be entangled.


    Ding Dong��


    The doorbell rang, and Vernis, who lowered her head in contemplation, trembled, and hurried to the door of the apartment after waking up.


    Seeing through the peepholes of the gate, it was Roan and the others who came, Vernis opened the gate without hesitation.


    But the moment the door opened, Verinisi''s pupils shrank instantly, and she suddenly realized something:


    She is wearing very baggy home clothes at this time!


    "Good evening, sir."


    The door opened. Roan frowned when he saw that he was wearing loose home clothes and his face was lightly made up.


    But there was no change in tone. Roan grabbed Lydia beside him, brought her to him, and explained:


    "Sir, I''m sorry to bother you after get off work, but this is a matter of urgency."


    "Go into the room and talk."


    Virnis had no expression on her face, her tone was indifferent, she motioned for Roan and the others to close the door of the apartment after entering the house, then turned and walked directly to the bedroom, saying at the same time:


    "Wait for me in the living room, make your own coffee."


    "OK."


    Roan and Lydia sat down on the sofa, Lacey walked aside to make coffee, Lydia glanced at the direction of the bedroom, hooked the corner of her mouth to Roan''s ear, and whispered:


    "Do you like older than you?"


    "No, I simply like big ones."


    Roan glanced at Lydia, threw the lady''s coat that fell on the ground into Lydia''s arms, covered the seductive deep groove, and said indifferently:


    "Stop playing, Lydia, Verenes is the one who can decide your life and death in the future, you''d better make a good impression on her."


    Hearing this, Lydia''s face collapsed, and she wanted to continue talking, but Lacey had already walked back with several cups of coffee.


    The three sat on the sofa drinking coffee silently.


    A few minutes later, Vernis, who changed into a lady''s suit and her makeup became cold again, came out of the bedroom and said directly to the three people on the sofa:


    "Roan, go into the study. Lacey, take care of this lady."


    "Okay, sir."


    Roan got up and left the sofa, Lacey sat down beside Lydia, and asked in a low voice:


    "Lydia, can you tell me the name and contact information of the new female bartender at your bar?"


    Lydia: "."


    In the study.


    "sit."


    Verinis'' words were very brief. After the two sat down, she stuffed the small book on the table back into the drawer.


    After a few seconds of silence, Verinis decided to tell the other party that Roan was rejected for joining the foundation, but Roan suddenly stared at Vernis''s face and asked in a deep voice:


    "Sir, are you sure that our conversation here is 100% safe?"


    Roan doesn''t think anyone will monitor the FBI''s team director, but it''s always right to be careful.


    Hearing this, the expression on Verinisi''s face suddenly changed from indifference to dark.


    It wasn''t that she was dissatisfied with Luo An''s questioning of the safety of the study, but that she found that the urgent matter that Luo An said was probably more urgent than she imagined.


    "Wait a moment."


    Without hesitation, Vernis opened a drawer at the bottom of the desk, which contained a large dark brown box.


    Pressing the switch on the big box hard, Vernis raised her head and stared at Roan:


    "Now you can talk."


    Taking a deep look at Verinisi, Roan coughed lightly and said:


    "Here''s the thing, sir"


    Excluding the process of his own interrogation of Lydia, Roan told Vernis the whole thing, and finally said with a solemn face:


    "Sir, this matter is too involved. As an agent, I can''t make the decision. I can only add you. I can only seek your help."


    Thanks to the **** of my life, TATTOO, pass with a smile 483, old bird, small miscellaneous fish, Adan AJT, fire **** disaster, Jiuzhou, angelluxifa, dengjun2004, Tangmen black hand, jeuan, pig was blown away by the strong wind, Internet Recommendation tickets from book friends such as Pharaoh, a severe patient of the novel, and We Are in the Same Boat, thank you for your support!

 Chapter 54： Auction Item No. 113 (Please read more! Please recommend!)

    Chapter 54 Auction Item No. 113 (Please follow up! Please recommend!)


    "I must confirm the authenticity of this matter, Roan."


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Vernis closed her eyes with a solemn expression, kneaded her temple with her right hand for a while, then opened her eyes, and said to Roan:


    "About that contact named Daisy, you ask Lydia to write down all the information she knows, and give it to me. I will find a way to check the specific situation of the other party."


    "Okay, sir."


    Roan nodded, took the pen and paper, turned and left the study.


    He knows how difficult this matter is, and the other party is the NSA, that is, the top level of the National Security Agency of the United States.


    A bar owner who wants to bring down the top of a well-known intelligence unit of the federal government.


    In the United States, a magical country where there is no corruption and all legal political donations, the success rate of this kind of thing is probably lower than Roan''s success in the election and the probability of becoming president.


    But the matter still needs to be reported. Roan knew about it from Lydia, so he had a reason to be silenced by the NSA executives.


    Although Luo An has a system, he feels that there is a high probability that he will not die in a short while, but he does not want to become 007 and be targeted by governments.


    Finally, he was caught in the laboratory, where he conducted three links, two inspections and one research.


    But Roan didn''t panic. After the previous observations, he found that Verinisi''s background was not simple.


    This time is 2005. In the male-dominated FBI, Vernis can be the team leader as a woman. If she has no background at all, no fool will believe it.


    After seeing the jammer under the other party''s desk just now, Roan believed in his own judgment even more.


    Although I don''t know what Verenice''s background is, but seeing that she heard the whole incident, she didn''t order herself to forget it on the spot, pretending that this incident never happened, but to confirm the authenticity of this incident. make a decision.


    Luo An''s mouth curled slightly, this matter is settled.


    Let the big shots be dealt with by the big shots, and don''t meddle in the struggles between parties and departments.


    As an ordinary FBI agent, getting some practical benefits is king.


    A few minutes later, Roan put the relevant information about "Daisy" that Lydia said on the desk, and Verenice nodded, signaling Roan to go out and wait for a while.


    Close the brown box, edit the information of ''Daisy'' into an email, and send it to the No. 2 investigation team leader who is on shift in the FBI New York branch building today. Vernis asked him to investigate the identity of the other party as quickly as possible, and the process confidential.


    Thirty minutes later, the information about ''Daisy'' was encrypted and sent to Verenice''s computer.


    Seeing an old woman in a car in the garage, shot to the forehead and died on the spot, the items in the apartment were not lost, but it was judged by the Los Angeles Police Department as a case of burglary, Vernis narrowed her eyes slightly.


    After a moment of contemplation, she bent down and took out a black phone with a big butt, pressed the number and called.


    "Why are you making this call, Verenes?"


    FBI Washington Headquarters, Clement, an elderly white man, saw the big-ass mobile phone handed to him by the secretary, with a serious expression on his face, and immediately sat up straight.


    But when he heard that it was Verenice on the other end of the phone, Clement immediately said very unhappy:


    "You know what this call is for, just for an agent?"


    "No, it''s the NSA."


    Vernice didn''t talk nonsense, and directly recounted the incident Roan said from a third-person perspective, and finally said with a serious expression:


    "That''s the way it is. I''ll send you the information later. Mr. Clement, the NSA has crossed the line this time."


    NSA, the National Security Agency of the United States, belongs to the Department of Defense, and its job is to monitor radio broadcasts, communications and the Internet.


    FBI, Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the Department of Justice, works on counter-terrorism, counter-espionage and criminal investigation.


    "You''re right, someone crossed the line."


    After listening to Verinisi''s words, Clement narrowed his eyes and thought slowly, guessing which high-level NSA executive did this, and at the same time thinking about how this matter could help his career.


    For example, take another step.


    Don''t think that the intelligence organizations in the United States are harmonious. In fact, many times, they wish to kill each other on the spot and take power by themselves.


    The top of the intelligence community, who doesn''t want to be Edgar Hoover.


    "You did a good job on this, Verenes."


    After thinking for a long time, Clement decided to talk to the head of the NSA in the White House tomorrow, and then smiled into the phone with great satisfaction:


    "As expected of members of our Clement family, even women are stronger than men in other families."


    "I didn''t investigate this matter, Mr. Clement."


    Hearing the words on the other end of the phone, Vernis snorted coldly and said:


    "It was investigated by my agent Luo An, who you refused to join the foundation and said he was not qualified."


    ��.��


    Hearing this, Clement fell silent, then shook his head and smiled:


    "Virenes, I know you admire Roann Greenwood, but lying is not a good habit.


    You have to know that if you forcibly promote it to a high position without the corresponding ability, the final result can only be reduced to the mud under the feet of everyone. "


    Verinis didn''t talk nonsense, and said directly:


    "Roan discovered the case."


    ��.��


    "The witness was found by Roan."


    ��.��


    "The other party applied for witness protection and was willing to testify in court, which was also persuaded by Roan."


    "...Okay, Vernis, don''t say any more, I believe in you."


    Washington Headquarters, Clement patted his head very annoyed, with a complicated expression, finally sighed and said:


    "I promise you, I will pass Roan Greenwood''s application to join the Columbus Foundation later, and at the same time raise his level to the level of a senior agent, is that okay?"


    "Not enough, Mr. Clement."


    Hearing the sigh on the other end of the phone, the corners of Verenice''s mouth rose, and she was in a very good mood.


    Recalling what Roan said before when he narrated the case, saying that he had neither a car nor a house, Vernis twitched her eyelids and said:


    "A few days ago, the FBI internally notified that a group of criminals'' stolen goods were going to be auctioned internally. I remember that there was a small apartment in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, worth 900,000 yuan. Why not sell it to Detective Roan for 500,000 yuan?"


    "NO! This joke is not funny, Verenes."


    Hearing this, Clement immediately raised his voice, and resolutely refused:


    "The market price of that apartment is more than 1.2 million, and the price of 900,000 is already the limit of the FBI''s benefits for internal personnel. 500,000 is absolutely impossible. How about it, how about 800,000?"


    "500,000, that''s it. I''ll tell Roan later, and if he wants to buy it, I''ll call you again."


    Verinis, who knew the inside story, twitched her mouth and hung up the phone without saying a word.


    "Damn it, you actually blackmailed your uncle!"


    Hearing the busy signal on the phone, Clement twitched, and took several deep breaths to suppress the unhappiness in his heart.


    However, 500,000 was also the starting price of that apartment. Clement didn''t lose money, but he didn''t make any money.


    Of course, for some people, no money is a loss.


    After a long silence, Clement got up and left the office. After opening the door, he threw the spanking phone into the secretary''s arms, and said in a deep voice:


    "Prepare the car. I''m going to the White House office. In addition, temporarily remove item 113 from the list. Someone will contact you to buy it later."


    The secretary nodded, he was used to this kind of thing:


    "Okay, sir."


    Follow-up data is really important to the author, everyone, please don��t raise books, thank you!

 Chapter 55： Work harder (Please collect! Please follow up!)

    Chapter 55 Work Harder (Please bookmark! Please follow up!)


    In the study, Vernis hung up the big-ass phone and put it back under the desk. After a moment of silence, she asked Roan to bring Lydia into the study.


    Roan sat down with Lydia, Vernis leaned back, raised her legs, and said to Lydia expressionlessly:


    "Ms. Lydia, I have already contacted my superior. He will contact the higher-ups of the Marshals Bureau and add you to the witness protection plan to protect your future safety."


    After hearing this, Lydia breathed a sigh of relief, but Verenice said immediately:


    "In the next 48 hours, you must sell the ''Flame Queen'', except for the ''Flame Queen'' bar, all your other real estate will be frozen and confiscated by the FBI.


    After testifying in court, for the sake of your life safety, you have to leave New York completely with the police officers of the Marshals Department, and you will never come back in this life. "


    "What did you say?"


    Leaving New York, Lydia was already mentally prepared, but when she heard that the FBI was going to confiscate her building, she immediately became furious and shouted at Vernis:


    "Your FBI is eyeing my money too?"


    "Ms. Lydia, please watch your words."


    Facing Lydia, whose eyes were flickering with anger, Vernis''s expression remained unchanged. She glanced at Roan, who was outside the object, stared into Lydia''s eyes and said coldly:


    "First, you tried to murder my federal agent, attacking a federal agent is a felony!


    If you hadn��t chosen to report the case and join the witness protection program, I would have sent you 100% directly to the federal recidivism prison, allowing you to spend the second half of your life with those female lunatics and female murderers!


    Second, you only confessed to this case after being interrogated by Detective Luo An, so your behavior is not surrender!


    Third, the money you used to buy the property was all obtained illegally. Freezing them is a legal act stipulated by federal law. Not only will your money be frozen, but the funds of everyone involved in the case will also be frozen! "


    "Shit!"


    Lydia''s beautiful face turned into a liver color, and she roared at Verenice:


    "Don''t think I don''t know what you''re up to, you FBI and NSA are just trying to steal money from me! Damn it, I shouldn''t have said this!"


    "If you don''t talk about it,"


    Verinis opened the email on the computer, released the photo of the corpse inside, and showed it to Lydia:


    "The tragedy of Ms. Bettina should happen to you soon. By the way, this Bettina is the Daisy you mentioned."


    Seeing the picture of the familiar old woman sitting in the car with a bullet hole on her forehead and her eyes wide open, Lydia turned pale, her legs became weak and she sat back on the chair.


    She was just guessing at first, but now the photos tell her, you guessed it right, the NSA executives have started to send people to kill people.


    Seeing the terrified expression on Lydia''s face, Vernis pressed the mouse to put away the photo, and asked calmly:


    "Ms. Lydia, which is more important, money or life, I think you should be able to tell the difference."


    ��.��


    A few minutes later, Lydia, who was pale, was taken by Lacey to another bedroom in the apartment.


    From tonight until tomorrow when the Marshals arrive, Lacey will follow Lydia closely to protect her safety.


    If there is no accident, after Lydia testifies in court, she will be arranged to a remote small city in the Federation. With a new identity, she can''t be in the limelight, can''t make publicity, and spends the rest of her life tremblingly.


    For Lydia, who likes to enjoy herself and is used to being ostentatious every day, this is more uncomfortable than killing her.


    Seeing Lacey walking into the bedroom with Lydia, Verniss tilted her head and glanced at Roan who had been silent all this time, her eyes moved slightly, and she asked indifferently:


    "Are you pitying Lydia?"


    "Poor? NO!"


    Hearing this, Luo An shook his head again and again.


    He and Lydia are just having a relationship in bed, and there is no emotional entanglement.


    And Lydia had drugged him before, in order to control his behavior. If she hadn''t confessed to this big case in the end, Roan had already made plans to make Lydia regret coming to this world.


    The scenery at the bottom of the Hudson River should be good.


    At the same time, in this large fairy jump case, the high-level officials of the NSA are not good people. Those political prisoners who exploit the common people in their own country, use their power for personal gain, and finally go to the federal government to enjoy their lives are not good people. Not a nice guy.


    It''s purely a dog-eat-dog relationship between them.


    If Lydia was coerced, that''s another story. But she knew what she was doing from the beginning to the end, and the current ending was just her own fault.


    Tilting his head and looking at Verenice, who looked very cold because of her makeup, Roan grinned and said:


    "I was just thinking about what reward the officer will give me for cracking this big case."


    Taking Roan back to the study, the two sat down, and Vernis raised her legs:


    "You know, Roan, the circumstances of this case are special, so the FBI New York Branch will not admit the existence of this case, and will not provide you with any reward."


    Roan nodded, he had already guessed this would happen.


    The case involves the high-level intelligence department of the NSA. It is normal not to speak out. If the New York branch of the FBI really announces with great fanfare that Roan has cracked the case, then he will hurry up and run away.


    So the reward Roan wanted refers to the people behind Verinisi.


    He wanted his share.


    "Before you came to me tonight, the Columbus Foundation sent me an email."


    Seeing Roan staring at her, Vernis was silent for a moment, but still didn''t choose to hide the Foundation''s affairs.


    After briefly introducing what happened, Verinis said that Roan not only successfully joined the foundation, but also obtained the funding level of a senior agent as an ordinary official agent.


    "Of course, this is what you deserve, not a reward."


    Hearing this, Roan frowned, and he knew that there must be more to come.


    Verinis opened a website, flipped through it, but couldn''t find auction item 113. She frowned first, then suddenly realized, and then opened another website.


    Turning the computer screen to Roan, Vernis smiled lightly and said:


    "Six months ago, our FBI successfully arrested a big liar who was cheating all over the world. This small apartment is one of his properties in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York.


    The external price of the apartment is 1.2 million, and the internal price of the FBI is 900,000. If you want, 500,000, it is yours. "


    Seeing the spacious, bright, warm and sunny apartment on the computer screen, Roan showed a smile on his face:


    "Thank you sir, I will prepare the money tomorrow."


    A Manhattan apartment that sold for $1.2 million in 2005 can be bought by yourself with only $500,000.


    If you let go, Luo An will regret it for the rest of his life.


    Seeing the smile on Roan''s face, Verniss''s expression remained unchanged but her mood was good. After hearing Roan''s words, she pondered for a moment and said:


    "After this case is dealt with above, you will receive a considerable bonus.


    In addition, regarding this apartment, you can apply for a loan within the Columbus Foundation, which is about 1%-3% lower than the interest rate of those banks outside, and you can pay it back slowly. "


    "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I want to buy this apartment directly with full payment."


    Hearing Luanda''s words, Verinisi''s expression changed, she looked at him suspiciously, and asked:


    "Can you come up with $500,000?"


    "certainly."


    Roan nodded, looked up to see the expression on Verenice''s face, and understood what she might have misunderstood, so he hurriedly waved his hands and said:


    "Don''t get me wrong, sir, I didn''t violate the FBI''s regulations. I was able to give out $500,000 because I worked harder and got more bonuses."


    Verinis: "?"

 Chapter 56： Laptop (Seek to follow up! Ask for recommendation!)

    Chapter 56 Notebook Computer (seeking further reading! Recommending!)


    As I said before, tomorrow is the weekend, and it is also the day for wages.


    When he bowed his head just now, Roan simply calculated that his basic salary this month is 2,000 US dollars. The New York Journalists Association offered a reward of 50,000 US dollars to catch the murderer who killed the reporter in the park, and he actually got 25,000 US dollars. The killer offered a reward of 5,000 U.S. dollars, but actually got 2,500 U.S. dollars. The murderer Conrad also led to the murder of a congressman, offering a reward of 500,000, and actually got 30,000 US dollars.


    Catch the murderer of the serial murder case, $100,000, actually got $50,000. The bonus is $1,500, which doubles to $3,000. Ms. Yolande, the congressman''s wife, gave Roan a $50,000 thank-you payment and $100,000 in hush money.


    All of them add up to about $262,500.


    In addition to this, there is also the $1 million thank-you money that the Darrens had promised before, and Roan can get a minimum of $300,000 in this money.


    Adding these, the money Roan can get is already 562,500 US dollars, enough to buy the apartment.


    Of course, there is also the tax issue in the United States that "death and tax payment are inescapable".


    But Roan doesn''t panic, he can just find a suitable accountant later, and those accountants will help him deal with tax issues.


    ��


    The next day, Saturday.


    Roan got up on the sofa in the living room of Verinisi''s apartment, and after taking care of his personal hygiene, he took a taxi to the Jacobs Federal Building.


    Originally, the FBI does not work on Saturdays and weekends, but Darren and his wife promised to pay the thank you money today, so there is no reason for everyone in the No. 5 investigation team not to come.


    Of course, Lacey didn''t come, she was still guarding Lydia at Vereneth''s house until the bailiffs came and took Lydia away.


    Verinis didn''t come to the federal building either. She drove directly to Washington in the morning. Roan thought that the people behind her should be looking for her to chat.


    "Good morning! Roan!"


    "Good morning!"


    Entering investigation team No. 5, before Augustus came, all the agents greeted Roan enthusiastically, and Roan was also stuffed with a lot of breakfast and drinks in his arms.


    Sitting at his desk, Roan had a strong smile on his face.


    Sure enough, the soup was not in vain.


    "It''s pretty early, Roan."


    After Roan ate a bag of breakfast, Mona also arrived at the fifth investigation team.


    After she sat down in her seat, she immediately turned to look at Roan, and asked with a serious expression:


    "Roan, where''s my laptop?"


    "?"


    Hearing what Mona said, Roan blinked and didn''t react for a while.


    After thinking for a long time, I realized that what Mona was talking about was the computer that was smashed by Mr. Darren in anger.


    "Put the computer thing aside, Mona."


    Swallowing the coffee in his mouth, Roan pulled Mona into the team leader''s office, and locked the door of the team leader''s office under the eyes of all the agents.


    After a moment of silence, there was a sudden buzzing sound in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    In the team leader''s office, Mona frowned, staring at Roan with a serious tone:


    "Roan, what are you doing?"


    "I got some news about your father yesterday."


    Ignoring Mona, who was in a defensive posture, Roan pulled a chair and sat in front of her, telling the story about his father Javari-Evans being investigated by the CIA. The NSA couldn''t find any clues, so they followed Mo Na. Na''s news was completely told to the other party.


    After Roan finished narrating, Mona''s eyes were slightly red, and after a long silence, she whispered:


    "I see, Roan, thank you very much."


    Hearing something wrong with the other party''s voice, Roan didn''t ask about the private affairs between Mona and his father, but said in a deep voice:


    "FBI agents are being monitored, according to regulations, I must report to the team leader Augustus.


    But before that, I still have to ask about your attitude, if you refuse, I can"


    "No, report it, Roan, I''m fine."


    Mona took a deep breath, suppressed all the emotions in her heart, and looked up at Roan:


    "I''m fine, trust me, I''ll make it clear with Augustus."


    "you sure?"


    "I am sure."


    Seeing Mona''s resolute attitude, Roan nodded and stopped persuading her. When she was about to turn around and leave, Mona suddenly stepped forward to hug Roan, and said in a low voice:


    "Thanks."


    Before Roan could answer, Mona let go of her arms again, took a deep breath, opened the door of the team leader''s office and walked out.


    Roan''s eyelids moved slightly, and he followed Mona out of the office.


    Just returned to their respective workstations, Mona suddenly turned around and looked at him with a serious expression:


    "Roan, where''s my laptop?"


    Roan''s mouth twitched, is this a stuck disc?


    Seeing Roan''s expression was a bit weird, Mona hummed twice, and said directly:


    "I already know that Darren smashed my computer, and I also know that he promised to pay us ten computers, but you cheated me by changing the subject yesterday, so the laptop will arrive in a few days, it belongs to your laptop The computer is mine."


    Roan was stunned: ".I just told you."


    "It''s two things, Roan."


    Mona waved her hand, indicating that one size fits one size:


    "Yesterday you changed the subject and hid the fact that my computer was smashed, so your computer belongs to me.


    I thank you for today''s news, so how about I treat you to dinner tonight? To the restaurant or to my house? I just recently learned a new dish. "


    After a moment of silence, Roan tentatively asked, "What about after dinner?"


    Mona had a serious expression and crossed her hands on her chest: "NO, I''m not feeling well these days."


    ��.��


    Roan just wanted to ask Mona when she was comfortable. Augustus, with a big belly and a **** face full of smiles, suddenly walked in from the door of the No. 5 investigation team.


    Waving the two checks in his hand, August, who could see the back molars with a smile, announced loudly:


    "Mr. Darren and Ms. Sabina''s thank you money has arrived, everyone is waiting for the bonus!"


    After a second of silence, the entire No. 5 investigation team erupted in joy, and everyone gave Luo An the warmest applause.


    "Nice job, Roan!"


    Augus walked up to Roan, slapped him heavily on the shoulder, praised him a few times, and then pulled him into the team leader''s office.


    Sit down, Augustus took out one of the checks and handed it to Roan, Roan took it and looked at the $500,000 on it, his eyes lit up.


    "500,000 belongs to you, and the remaining 500,000 belongs to the investigation team. This is what Mr. Darren told me before."


    Augus looked at Roan with great satisfaction. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that he had a bit of his own style. Then he took out a bunch of car keys and a business card from his pocket, and handed them to Roan:


    "This is the Chevrolet car privately given to you by Ms. Sabina, and her business card.


    At the same time, she also asked me to ask you if you want to attend the banquet held by her tonight, or not. If you go, there will be surprises. "


    Roan: "."


    Thinking of the picture of Sabina hugging Darren and weeping, but her fingers hooking herself, the corner of Roan''s mouth twitched, and he shook his head decisively and rejected the invitation to participate in the banquet.


    He was afraid that he would die from exhaustion at the banquet.


    Seeing Roan shaking his head and refusing, Augustus didn''t say much.


    Roan wanted to tell Augustus an overview of what happened last night, but Augustus said that Vernice had informed him, and this incident has never happened since then, Roan decisively changed the subject, That is the problem of Mona being targeted by the NSA.


    Before Roan left the office, Augustus said solemnly:


    "Luo An, take a good rest these two days this weekend. Starting next Monday, you must hurry up and solve the [Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case]. If you are sure that you can''t solve it, tell me right away, OK? This time you are in the limelight It��s a bit big, someone is already watching you.��


    Hearing this, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, tilted his head and said to Augustus:


    "I see, sir, please rest assured."


    Augus was also relieved when he saw this, nodded and finally said:


    "By the way, call Mona for me after you go out."


    Roan paused, frowned slightly, and just about to say something, Augustus saw his expression and said directly:


    "Don''t worry, Roan, Mona is from the FBI and from my No. 5 investigation team. It''s not up to the NSA to intervene in her matter. It''s just that I need to know some inside information to help her."


    Hearing this, Roan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, sir."


    Didn��t continue to say anything, Roan turned and left the team leader��s office, Augustus looked down at Mona��s identity information in the folder, his eyes sparkled, and he whispered to himself:


    "CIA, NSA"


    After returning to the work station, Roan signaled Mona to go to the team leader''s office, and he took the relevant information of [The Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case] ??from Ryder''s desk and began to examine it carefully.

 Chapter 57： Barbecue Party

    Chapter 57 Barbecue Party (Please follow up! Please collect!)


    Monday, seven fifty in the morning.


    In the parking lot of the Jacobs Federal Building, a Chevrolet stopped slowly. Roan took off his seat belt and got out of the car. Ryder, who was covered in lumps, also got out of the back seat of the car.


    "I''m going to get a cup of black coffee, Roan."


    Ryder looked down at his watch, and saw that there was still a lot of time before the scheduled time for work, so he pointed to the coffee shop opposite the parking lot, looked at Roan and asked with a smile:


    "Would you like a drink?"


    "Of course! But ordinary coffee is fine, remember to add sugar and milk."


    Roan smiled wryly: "I prefer sweets."


    "OK."


    Ryder grinned at him, nodded, and turned to the coffee shop.


    Roan patted his heavy head, turned and walked into the Federal Building.


    After Augustus handed out bonuses to everyone on Saturday, all the agents decisively left the office area and went home to start their weekend life.


    Many of the agents invited Roan to their homes, but Roan smiled and shook his head and refused, because he was in a hurry to deal with the apartment because the salary and bonus had been obtained.


    Having been greeted by the people above, the process of buying and transferring the ownership of the apartment is very simple, and the time is not wasted too long. Before noon, Roan got the key of the apartment and the relevant contract certificate.


    After that, there is the matter of apartment decoration.


    The aesthetics of the former owner of the apartment was very strange. Roan glanced around in each room, with black lines all over his head, and decisively chose to throw them all away and redecorate.


    Luo An didn''t know much about decoration, but he knew that there were a lot of tricks in it, so he decisively took out his phone and prepared to ask someone for help.


    Mona can''t, not only is she talking to Augustus, she doesn''t have time, and the small apartment she bought on loan before is the kind of apartment that has been renovated, and she can''t help Roan.


    Lacey can''t do it either. Although she has claimed to rent a house these years, she spends most of her time in hotels with other women.


    If he asks her for help, Roan thinks Lacey will most likely throw him a bunch of business cards of women who work in a decoration company.


    So Roan turned his attention to Ryder.


    Ryder is married, has a wife and children, and has a gun shop at home. For decoration, he is the right person to find.


    Just before, Ryder invited himself to his gun shop, so Roan didn''t hesitate anymore. After calling Ryder, he bought some beef and wine, and drove a Chevrolet to Queens.


    Ryder''s wife is named Yvonne, from Texas, is a former New York policeman.


    During a certain mission, Yvonne''s right eye was injured by a stray bullet. Although her life was not in danger, her right eye was also completely blind, and a dark blindfold was placed on her forehead.


    But Yvonne''s mentality is good. After Ryder and Roan introduced the identities of the two parties, Yvonne decisively threw her son to Ryder, and took Roan to the back of the gun shop to compare the pistols.


    After some bang bang bang bang shooting, Yvonne and Roan became good brothers.


    Ryder: "."


    That night, a barbecue party was held in the backyard of Ryder''s house. With Yvonne''s introduction, Roan successfully met a lot of rednecks from Texas.


    During the period, it was not that no one found fault, but after Roan drank a bottle of strength potion with wine, and won everyone present by arm wrestling, Roan instantly became a good brother in Texas.


    At the barbecue party, Roan drank a little too much and slept at Ryder''s until the next day.


    Just got up from the bed, and when her head was still hurting after washing, Ivana pushed open the door of the second bedroom, and handed Roan a bottle of wine.


    means that you don��t have to be afraid of having a headache if you drink too much, just drink some wine and let it go through.


    Roan: "."


    Shaking his head and rejecting Ivana''s kindness, Roan hurriedly told Ryder and his wife about the need for help in the renovation of the apartment.


    After listening to it, Ivana and Ryder said that it was a trivial matter, and agreed decisively. Ivana said that she would definitely help Roan find a decoration company with reasonable price, authentic materials and good technical level.


    Then another barbecue party.


    Roan: "."


    After the Lydia incident, the system gave Roan an excellent evaluation, and [Physical Potion x1, Strength Potion x1, Antidote Potion x1, Danger Perception Potion x1] was found in the treasure chest.


    As for the two-day party, the system gave Roan a pass, and the treasure chests were opened with [Stability Potion x1, Weakness Potion x1], [Strength Potion x1, Sleep Potion x1]


    At this time, in Luo An''s system backpack, there are [Physical Potion x4, Fire Resistance Potion x1, Night Vision Potion x2, Scuba Potion x1, Strength Potion x2, Swift Potion x1, Antidote Potion x1, Danger Perception Potion x1, Weakness Potion x1, sleep potion x1]


    Arriving at the floor in the elevator of the Jacob Federal Building, as soon as the elevator door opened, Roan bumped into the team leader Brosen and several of his subordinates head-on.


    "Good morning, sir."


    Roan stepped out of the elevator, grinning very politely.


    Bruosen gave Roan a cold look, and walked directly into the elevator without saying a word.


    Behind him, a white man in a suit with an unhappy expression on his face snorted coldly when he passed by Roan, but didn''t say much.


    Roan frowned, he didn''t know each other.


    Watching the elevator door slowly close, Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned and walked into the No. 5 investigation team.


    In the elevator, the white male with an unhappy face is none other than Matthews.


    As an old man who has been with Bruosen for ten years, Matthews did not hesitate to leave the investigation team No. Ruo Sen went to the investigation team No. 14.


    As the elevator descended slowly, Matthews was silent for a moment, then walked to Brosen and asked in a low voice:


    "Sir, investigation team No. 5 still has an unsolved serial murder case, we."


    "Ignore them for now."


    Casting a glance at Matthews, Brosen had mixed feelings about his old subordinate. After a moment of silence, he said:


    "First deal with the case in our own hands, just keep an eye on them. I didn''t order you to take any action."


    "Okay, sir."


    Matthews nodded. At this moment, the elevator door opened, and he hurriedly followed Brosen out.


    Investigation Team No. 5.


    At this time, Mona hadn''t come yet, and Lacey was sleeping on the table again. Roan looked around the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, and sat next to a male technician who was drinking coffee and chatting with other people on the computer. , asked in a low voice:


    "Good morning, William, is there any news about the new team leader Brosen?"


    William Miller, with a height of 178 cm, deep facial features, and a thin body, is one of the technicians of the No. 5 investigation team.


    According to the requirements of the case, he is generally responsible for contacting other government departments other than the FBI.


    Such as CIA, NSA, etc.


    But in Roan''s view, William''s greatest ability is actually that he can always get new events happening in any corner of the building at any time from his countless friends at the first time.


    On this point, even Lacey who came out of the intelligence department is not as strong as him.


    Thanks to Sevenhell, Long Xuehan, Ximen Shuai, Panan, 181**093, Ocean Shepherd, Fox Fox, Chatting without Knowing, James Dream in the Rain and other book friends for recommending tickets, thank you everyone!

 Chapter 58： Case situation (please follow up! Please recommend!)

    Chapter 58 Case Circumstances (Please read more! Please recommend!)


    "Good morning, Roan."


    Hearing Roan''s question, William, who was drinking coffee, smiled, waved his hand to signal Roan to bow his head, and then he whispered in Roan''s ear:


    "I heard that a bank robbery case was handed over to investigation team No. 14 recently.


    Because the No. 14 investigation team has just been established, and there are fewer people in the team than us, so although Brosen is the team leader, he has to go to the front line every day to follow the investigation. "


    "Tsk tsk tsk."


    Roan shook his head repeatedly when he heard this. When Brosen was the team leader, he no longer went to the front line in person. Now that he has been promoted to be the team leader, he has to go out to investigate cases every day.


    This is really


    Roan grinned, patted William on the shoulder, and returned to his station.


    Regarding Brosen''s current state, Roan''s evaluation is only four words: self-inflicted.


    Bringing the serial murder case to the media before was a blatant delay. The leader above the team supervisor is not blind, so how could he not punish Bruosen.


    Roan originally thought that the officers above would stop Bruosen��s promotion, or even demote him, but seeing Bruosen��s current appearance, and remembering that Verenice once said that Bruosen joined another foundation


    "It seems that the foundation that Brosen joined is not simple."


    After thinking for a long time, Roan shook his head. It was not his turn to worry about these things at the moment, so he decisively threw the thoughts in his mind into the trash can.


    Picking up the folder on the desktop, Luo An checked the relevant information on the [Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case] ??again.


    The place where the body was found was a lake on the border between New York and New Jersey.


    The four bodies were all women. When they were salvaged, they didn��t have any items around them that could prove their identities. In the end, it was the local New Jersey police who investigated the missing persons files to confirm their identities.


    The autopsy report showed that the four victims were forcibly strangled to death with ropes. There were signs of binding on the wrists and ankles, bruises on the upper body, and lacerations on the lower body. It is suspected that the four victims had been tortured by the murderer before their death. .


    Because the corpse stayed at the bottom of the lake for too long, the white genetic material of the murderer that may have been there, or other information related to the murderer has disappeared, and the forensic doctor did not find any material other than the victim.


    In addition, the home address, social environment, life experience, work content, etc. of the four victims seem to have nothing to do with each other. The only common feature is that they are all married, and the rings on the bodies have disappeared.


    During the process of investigating the kidnapping case, Roan speculated that the reason why the murderer took off the ring from the victim was because of souvenirs or possessiveness.


    It''s like before Roan bought the apartment, and he wanted to replace all the decorations in the apartment. This is the subconscious thought of human beings wanting to erase the mark of the former owner of the item.


    So Roan asked Ryder to mainly investigate the husbands of the four victims, investigate their interpersonal relationships, work content, emotional life, etc., hoping to find some clues.


    but.


    Seeing Ryder''s investigation information, Roan''s mouth twitched.


    In Ryder��s report, the husbands of the four victims�� relationships and work content were all dictated by the husbands, and Ryder did not ask other people to verify whether the four husbands�� stories were true or not.


    As for the emotional lives of the four husbands, Ryder��s record is just one sentence:


    Neighbors said that the relationship between their husband and wife is good, and they basically don''t quarrel much.


    Roan: "."


    Remembering that Ryder was from the SWAT operation team, he was good at persuading others physically, but he was really not very good at investigating cases, Roan took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the dirty words in his heart.


    "Here''s your coffee, Roan."


    Roan just closed the folder in his hand, and Ryder, whose suit was about to explode, also walked into the No. 5 investigation team, and put a cup of hot coffee on Roan''s table. He grinned and showed his white teeth:


    "With milk and sugar, your favorite."


    With a movement of the corner of his mouth, Roan picked up the coffee and took a sip. After a moment of silence, he tilted his head and looked at Ryder. Just as he was about to ask a few questions, the door of the No. 5 investigation team was suddenly pushed open, and the pregnant Augustus led Mona away. came in.


    boom!


    He slammed Lacey''s desk hard to wake her up. Augustus stretched out his hand and grabbed the whiteboard at the front of the office area, shouting loudly:


    "It''s a new week, cheer me up! Now, everyone''s attention is on this serial murder case. We have to break it this week and catch the real culprit!"


    Having said that, Augustus looked around and found that everyone''s attention had been attracted to him. He nodded and pointed to William beside him and said:


    "William, give a brief overview of this case!"


    "Okay, sir."


    William took out a folder and briefly described the case that Roan had read before. Augustus nodded in satisfaction and asked him to sit back, then knocked on the whiteboard and shouted again:


    "The situation of the case is like this. I believe some of you should have read it more than once, but I still want to emphasize once that the murderer in this case is not simple, and we are still not sure whether the murderer is still committing crimes!


    So we must pay 200% attention this week and wait for new news at any time, is it clear? "


    "Yes, sir!"


    "Good."


    Hearing the voices of the agents, Augustus nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Roan, turned and walked towards the team leader''s office:


    "Roan, come here."


    Roan: "."


    Seeing all the agents cast all kinds of eyes on him, Roan sighed, but followed Augustus into the team leader''s office.


    "sit."


    In the office, Augustus poured a cup of coffee for both of them, and after sitting down on a chair, he said with a solemn expression:


    "Roan, this case is very important to you."


    Roan: "."


    Why do these words sound so familiar?


    Seeing the strange expression on Roan''s face, Augustus was stunned for a moment, then reacted, waved his hand, and looked at Roan with a slight frown:


    "Don''t get me wrong, Roan, this time I''m not talking about Brosen and the others."


    Hearing this, Roan tilted his head in confusion:


    "Not them, who else?"


    "It''s the police over there in New Jersey."


    Augus took a sip of his coffee, his **** face was serious:


    "You have to know one thing, Roan, no police anywhere likes the FBI."


    Luan suddenly realized that this is the truth.


    Because of the authority, since the birth of the FBI, the police in various regions have been unhappy with the FBI.


    In the eyes of the police, it is their job to solve crimes and arrest people. What is your FBI?


    And if the FBI solves the case that the police did not solve, where will the police face it?


    So many cops completely ignore FBI agents and never listen to their advice and orders.


    Even some more irritable police officers will inform the suspect to run away quickly before the FBI arrests the person, so that the FBI personnel will rush to nothing, and he will lead a group of policemen behind him to eat bread and drink coffee and applaud and laugh.


    Don''t think that these are all made up, these are all real things that have existed.


    It wasn��t until after the plane bombed the building in 2001 that the FBI��s Washington headquarters established a nationwide criminal record inquiry system due to the reform of the Department of Justice, and the relationship between the FBI and the local police department was slightly better.


    But still not so good.


    Although the local police will no longer notify the suspect to run away, it is still very common to ignore the FBI, or do not work hard.


    "So, Roan."


    Seeing that Roan guessed the meaning of his words, Augustus stared at him and said:


    "During the investigation of the case this time, you should pay more attention to the police in New Jersey."


    Roan nodded, licked his lips, with a warm smile on his face:


    "Don''t worry, sir, I never take the initiative to bully others, nor will I allow others to bully me."

    Chapter 59 New Jersey (please read more! Please collect!)


    "Good."


    Seeing the expression on Roan''s face, Augustus nodded in satisfaction. He knew that Roan had always been very measured, so he stopped talking nonsense, but changed the subject and asked:


    "How about it, [The Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case] ??Do you have any thoughts now? I remember that Ryder got a lot of information in those days."


    Hearing this, Luo An''s eyelids twitched and his head hurt.


    After a moment of silence, he said:


    "According to the data, the murderer took away the rings from each victim''s hand. I suspect their husbands should know something, so I plan to talk to the husbands of several victims now."


    "OK."


    Seeing that Roan already had an idea, Augustus took a sip of coffee and nodded and said:


    "Call immediately if you have any problems, and the No. 5 investigation team will support you at any time."


    "Okay, sir."


    Leaving the team leader''s office, Roan first took out the Nokia in his pocket and called Mona to make sure that there was no problem with the communication means, and then took Ryder to the equipment warehouse this time.


    Equipment Curry, Roan put on a combat uniform and a plate-carrying vest, a tactical helmet in his hand, five smoke bombs and ten shock bombs in his pocket, and two submachine guns Glock 18 on his waist.


    After taking three pistols with extended magazines, Roan''s eyes twitched. This time he was going to the border between New York and New Jersey, which was a bit far from the headquarters, and it was impossible for support to be on call.


    So he took seven more extended magazines and made up a whole number.


    "Roan, if you are in the SWAT operation team, you will definitely survive to the end!"


    Ryder on the side saw this scene, his eyes lit up, he decisively threw away the normal version of the Glock 18, took off the small bulletproof vest on his body, and changed into the same equipment as Roan.


    The difference is that because Ryder has a wider waist and greater strength, he took a full twenty extended magazines.


    After changing the equipment, Roan and Ryder glanced at each other, saw the fully armed opponent, laughed, and strode out.


    Everyone in investigation team No. 5: "."


    ��


    New Jersey, next door to New York State, is the fourth smallest and most densely populated state in the United States, nicknamed ''Garden State''.


    Roan''s destination for their trip is located at the top of New Jersey and belongs to the Northville area of ??New Jersey.


    Originally, the police in New Jersey should be responsible for this case, but because the lake where the body was found is located at the junction of New York and New Jersey, the police in New Jersey did not want to cause a lot of trouble because of cross-district law enforcement, so they decisively chose to report the case to The FBI in New York.


    "The first victim, Linda Chippo, was twenty-eight years old and disappeared eight months ago.


    The second victim, Beatrice Leon, was thirty-four years old and disappeared two months ago.


    The third victim, Natalie Carlyle, 25 years old, disappeared a month ago


    The fourth victim, Tamara Terry, 30, disappeared two weeks ago��


    After listening to Ryder''s narration, Roan sat in the co-pilot and looked down at the autopsy reports of the four victims, nodded and said:


    "Let''s go first to the home of the fourth victim, Tamara Terry. She was killed after she disappeared two weeks ago. Her husband should be able to remember a lot of things, such as who targeted his wife."


    "no problem."


    Ryder nodded, turned the steering wheel to turn the SUV around, and drove in the other direction.


    Ryder''s investigation these days is not useless, at least he now has a clear memory of every victim''s home address.


    When the SUV crossed the bridge and entered New Jersey, Roan didn''t notice anything unusual. He also felt that the scenery in New Jersey was good, and there were many parks.


    But the more the car walked towards the Northville area, the more Roan felt something was wrong.


    Why are there more and more women wearing cool clothes on both sides of the road? And what do they mean by grabbing the hand of a passing driver?


    "Most of those women are women who make money from their lower body, some full-time and some part-time."


    Seeing the doubts on Roan''s face, Ryder shrugged and said nonchalantly:


    "You know, in the Federation, everyone has to work hard to make money to support themselves"


    "Forehead."


    Roan didn''t know what to say when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment and asked:


    "Do the police in New Jersey leave them alone?"


    "Of course! But when necessary."


    Ryder nodded and then shook his head:


    "There are only so many police officers. Sometimes one policeman has three cases at the same time. How can they have time to care about these women?


    And even if they are caught, the punishment is nothing more than being locked up for a period of time, and the bail can be released in advance. The police are too lazy to waste time on such things. "


    "understood."


    Roan pursed his lips and nodded. The police in the United States are different from the police in the East. The police here are just a kind of job, the kind that goes to work every day and gets paid.


    Moreover, when grassroots policemen in the United States work, their superiors will order them to consider the cost of law enforcement. Like these women on the side of the road, the cost of law enforcement is far greater than the benefits of law enforcement.


    Unless the high-level police station gives an order and is determined to sweep the wave, or there is a major case of death, these policemen are too lazy to deal with it most of the time.


    The dark SUV continued on, and soon arrived in Northville, the northernmost area of ??New Jersey. The home of the fourth victim, Tamara Terry, was a rectangular red bungalow.


    The two got out of the car and walked forward. Ryder reached out and patted the door of the house vigorously, shouting loudly:


    "Sanderson! Open the door! I''m Agent Ryder from the FBI! We''ve met before!"


    Sanderson, husband of Tamara Terry.


    No response from the room.


    Ryder patted hard again, but there was still no sound.


    Roan frowned, tilted his head and asked:


    "Ask Mona to call him?"


    Ryder frowned when he heard the words, and was about to speak when there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling to the ground and breaking in the house.


    boom-


    "Shit, there''s someone in the room!"


    Hearing this movement, Ryder no longer hesitated, raised his pistol, kicked open the door and rushed in:


    "FBI! Hold still!"


    Roan was full of swear words, but quickly followed Ryder''s actions and searched room by room to confirm safety.


    There was no one in the kitchen, living room and other places. Roan raised his pistol and rushed into the master bedroom in a tactical posture, but no one was found, but there was a corner of a pajamas in the corner of the door of the closet.


    "The person in the cabinet raised his hands and walked out by himself!"


    Roan stood obliquely on the side of the cabinet and shouted loudly:


    "If you don''t come out after three numbers, I''ll shoot! Three!"


    "woo woo woo"


    Hearing the call, the people in the cabinet did not come out, but the sound of sobbing came out, and Roan was stunned when he heard it.


    Because this is the cry of a child.


    ten minutes later.


    On the sofa in the living room, Ryder held the toy in both hands, and was comforting the twitching blond little loli in a low voice.


    Roan, who was on the phone next to him, sighed when he saw this scene.


    Thanks Fatty Lin Da, Just Beard, Milan Complex, Zhang Xiaoan, tattoo, twerwe, Han Bingxin 123, Xiaoyao Fox Master, Smile and Pass 483, Bingfeng I am the most, Moses, Moses, we are all poor people, don��t be bears , Full House Drunk, Talking without Knowing, Cats That Have Been Lurking for N Years, Shiyu Xuanyuan, Boomerang, Cabbage Xiao, Youlong Binghuang, angelluxifa, Seven Days Uninterrupted, etc., thank you for your support!

 Chapter 60： Dani (please read more! Please recommend!)

    Chapter 60 Danni (Please follow up! Please recommend!)


    Dani, 6 years old this year, is the daughter of Sanderson and Tamara.


    After her mother disappeared and was confirmed dead, Sanderson, as a father, did not send Dani to school, nor did she take her to see a psychiatrist, let alone let Dani have contact with other children, but directly locked her in the home.


    Everything I eat every day is also leftovers from last night.


    "I''ve called Sanderson and he said he''ll be home soon."


    Hearing Mona''s voice on the other end of the phone, Roan nodded and said:


    "OK, by the way, contact the government child protection department in New Jersey. There is a little girl here who needs their protection."


    "Okay, I''ll get in touch right away."


    "Roan!"


    Ryder, who was sitting on the sofa, comforted Dani for a long time, but he didn''t see her answering him, so he lowered his head and sobbed. Ryder had no choice but to turn his eyes to Roan.


    When Roan carried Dani out of the bedroom just now, Dani didn''t cry all the time.


    Seeing Ryder''s helpless appearance, Roan''s head was full of black lines.


    How to communicate with children is his weakest point.


    But in this situation, Roan had no choice but to sit down on the sofa, take the toy in Ryder''s hand, take a deep breath, and start asking Dani about the model of the toy.


    Hearing Roan''s question, the blond Dani didn''t answer, but looked up at Roan for a while, and slowly stopped crying, then bowed her head and hugged Roan''s arm, neither speaking nor letting go.


    Ryder: "."


    Roan: "."


    A few minutes later, a pickup truck drove quickly from afar.


    After leaving a deep brake mark on the ground, a man with a big beard and an unnaturally flushed face ran out from the driver''s seat of the pickup truck and rushed towards the rectangular house shouting:


    "Danny! Are you okay Danny!"


    Seeing that Sanderson finally came back, Roan was just about to get up, but found that Dani held her arms and did not let go. After a few seconds of silence, Roan held her in his arms, and just quietly looked at the yelling Sanderson .


    "and who are you?"


    reached out to hug Dani, but Dani turned her head and refused. Sanderson was taken aback for a moment, and then glared at Roan angrily:


    "Why are you FBI looking for me again? Do you suspect that I am a murderer?"


    "Please control your emotions, Mr. Sanderson"


    Before Ryder finished speaking, Sanderson turned his head and continued to yell at him:


    "FU-KYOU!


    I remember you! Agent Ryder of the FBI! Didn''t you ask me a lot of information before? Why are you looking for me again now? Have you found the murderer of my wife? "


    Seeing Sanderson''s big flushed face, blurred eyes, and smelling the faint smell of inferior perfume and alcohol coming from the other party, Roan''s face was very ugly.


    Tilting his head to signal Ryder to block Sanderson, Roan turned around and carried Dani back to the bedroom. After discussing with her in a low voice, Roan closed the bedroom door and walked towards the living room with a serious expression.


    "Rubbish!"


    "Bit-h!"


    "Shit!"


    Sanderson''s eyes were blurred at this time, and he yelled loudly with foul words. Roan didn''t talk nonsense, pulled Ryder away, and kicked Sanderson in the stomach.


    Boom��


    Sanderson fell back on the sofa, and Roan picked up the water that was just poured for Dani on the living room table, and splashed it directly on his face.


    "F-"


    Without waiting for Sanderson to swear, Roan took out the Glock 18, ignored Ryder''s eyes, put the muzzle of the gun directly into Sanderson''s mouth, and asked sharply:


    "Are you sober?"


    ".woke up."


    "Can you talk nicely?"


    ".able."


    boom-


    Roan didn''t shoot, but threw the watering cup heavily on the ground. The sound of the cup cracking scared Sanderson''s body, and Roan put away the Glock 18 stuffed in the opponent''s mouth.


    Turning his head and seeing Ryder''s serious eyes, Roan raised his brows and pointed to the insurance of Glock 18 calmly.


    Not at all, but enough to scare a drunken Sanderson.


    ��Since my wife disappeared, you police have been telling me, ��We can��t say anything.����


    A few minutes later, Sanderson, who was much more awake, sat on the sofa, covered his face, and was very emotional:


    "When you contacted me again, what you told me was the news of my wife''s death! Now, I don''t know what happened to my wife. I only know that she is dead. Instead, you keep asking me about her life. , don''t you think this is too much?"


    "I can understand your mood, OK?"


    Roan fixed his eyes on Sanderson, and said in a deep voice:


    "We want to help you, but before that, you need to help us first. Only in this way can we find the real culprit who killed your wife! So, answer me now, where was your wife when she disappeared?"


    Hearing what Roan said, Sanderson took a deep breath, pressed his temples and thought for a long time, then whispered:


    "Tamara is a cashier at Wall Supermarket, and that large supermarket is about fifteen minutes away by car.


    The supermarket closes around 10:30 in the evening, so Tamara usually gets home around 10:50 every day.


    Three weeks ago, she called me after get off work and said she would be home in 20 minutes and asked me to prepare something for her to eat, so I started to make some simple food at home.


    But Tamara didn''t come back until thirty minutes later. That''s the last time I heard from her. "


    "OK."


    Roan took a pen, briefly wrote down Sanderson''s narrative, and then continued to ask:


    "Before Tamara disappeared, did you mention that she was being followed or harassed?"


    "No."


    Sanderson shook his head and explained:


    "Tamara is just a cashier in a supermarket. Sometimes she does get teased by some gangsters, but it''s just teasing. Both Tamara and her colleagues are used to it, and they even scold them back at ordinary times. "


    Roan continued to write and draw, and then asked again:


    "As Tamara''s husband, have you ever found anyone around her who annoys her or who is always courting her?"


    "NO."


    Sanderson shook her head: "Tamara is very straightforward. If you like it, you like it. If you don''t like it, you don''t like it. If someone asks, she will give the answer on the spot, and she never delays."


    "All right."


    Writing down these words, Roan frowned, and found no useful clues. After thinking for a while, he raised his head and handed Sanderson a piece of paper:


    "Which Wall supermarket does Tamara work in, write down the address for me."


    "OK."


    Putting away the records of the inquiry, Roan walked out of the house and called Mona, confirming that the child protection department in New Jersey would arrive in three minutes, so he called Ryder back to the SUV, and was about to drive to the Wall supermarket to find clues .


    At this moment, Dany suddenly sneaked out of the house while Sanderson was not paying attention, and ran straight towards the SUV.


    Roan was taken aback when he saw this, he hurriedly opened the car door and ran out of the car to pick up Danni.


    Before Roan could speak, Dani''s crisp voice sounded in his ears:


    "I know where my mother is."


    "?"

 Chapter 61： Black Colleagues (please follow up! Please collect!)

    Chapter 61 Black Colleagues (Please follow up! Please collect!)


    Roan tilted his head to look at Dani, only to see that her delicate little face was full of seriousness.


    Before Roan could ask questions, Dani continued to speak crisply:


    ��When my mother was at work, there was a black colleague who took a picture of her. That black man must have taken my mother away!��


    "What?"


    Hearing this, Roan raised his head and looked at Ryder, and then hurriedly asked:


    "When did that happen?"


    "I do not remember."


    Dani narrowed her mouth, her eyes turned red again, and she explained in a low voice:


    "I had a stomachache that day. After my mother took me to the doctor, she took me to the supermarket to play. When I was playing games on the table, that mother''s black colleague hid behind the potato chips and took out a black box to take pictures of my mother. "


    Dani''s words were talking in a nonsensical manner. Roan didn''t understand the specific situation of the day, but he understood the meaning of Dani''s words:


    A black man once secretly photographed Tamara when she was working at the cashier at the supermarket front desk.


    "Thank you, Dani, your message has been very helpful to me."


    Seeing Dani crying again, Roan hurriedly comforted her.


    At this moment, a black car slowly pulled up to the side of the road, and two middle-aged white women in uniform and a middle-aged white man in police uniform got out of the car.


    "Hello, you should be Agent Luo An."


    One of the Caucasian women saw the little blond loli being hugged by the fully armed Roan, and there was a stronger armed man standing beside her. The corner of her mouth twitched, but she still stretched out her hand and said:


    ��My name is Anna and I am from the New Jersey Child Protection Department.��


    "Hi, just call me Roan."


    Stretched out his hand and shook the other party, Roan took the other party''s ID and looked at it carefully, and handed Dani to the other party after confirming that there was nothing wrong.


    At the same time, pointing to the red bungalow next to him, he briefly introduced Sanderson''s experience and current situation.


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Anna nodded and said in a deep voice:


    "Don''t worry, we will take good care of Dani and supervise Sanderson at all times. Only when Sanderson changes his drinking habits and regains the ability to take care of Dani, we will return Dani to him."


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    After shaking hands with the other party again, Roan briefly chatted with the other party, and just turned around to leave, Dany suddenly stopped him, and then stuffed her small hairpin into Roan''s hand.


    "Roan, this is a hairpin my mother bought for me."


    Dani looked at Roan twitching, and held on to Roan''s hand, her delicate face was full of prayers:


    "You gotta catch the bad guy who hurt my mom, please"


    ��.I promise you, Dany.��


    Sighing, Roan stuffed the hairpin into the breast pocket in front of Dani, then patted her little head, and agreed in a deep voice:


    "I will definitely catch him."


    The pitch-black SUV was driving forward, and Roan was sitting in the co-pilot. Through the rearview mirror, he saw Danni who was still staring here reluctantly, and his face was a little ugly.


    "As the FBI, you will see many such things in the future."


    Ryder, who was driving, took out a piece of chewing gum from nowhere, handed it to Roan, stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing:


    "Just get used to it."


    Did not speak, took the chewing gum and stuffed it into his mouth. Roan looked at the information he had just received from Sanderson, fell silent for a few seconds, and took out his phone to call Mona:


    "Mona, check the Wal supermarket in the ** area to see if there are any black employees in it."


    The crackling sound of the computer sounded on the other end of the phone, and after a while, Mona replied:


    "The salary payment records of this supermarket show that they have two black employees, one of whom is fifty-six years old this year, a security guard, and is still working.


    Another 28-year-old, named Yoang, is a worker in charge of moving goods. He was kicked out of the supermarket three weeks ago for stealing things. "


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, motioned Mona to send the second black man''s home address and work location to himself, and then hung up the phone.


    Read the home address in the phone to Ryder, and Roan continued to look through the information in his hand:


    "Let''s check that Yoon first. His current workplace is a car repair shop, just on the way to the supermarket."


    "OK."


    Ryder nodded, stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel, and the pitch-black SUV drove in another direction in an instant.


    ��


    "Yoang has been here for two weeks, and he works very hard. I haven''t lost anything here."


    The owner of the car repair shop was an older black man. After learning about Roan and Ryder''s intentions, he didn''t refuse. He took them to find Yoon, and kept praising him for being a good guy.


    Regarding the incident about Yoon being expelled from the supermarket for stealing, the black boss smiled disdainfully and said directly:


    "In that supermarket, the guys working with Yoon are all white. They don''t like Yoon, a black man who moves more things than them and gets more money than them."


    Roan and Ryder looked at each other without speaking.


    "Yoang! Someone is looking for you!"


    "coming!"


    Hearing the boss calling him, a black man with thick lips agreed, and slowly crawled out from under the car, appearing in front of Roan and Ryder.


    "you"


    Before Roan and Ryder could speak, the black Yoon raised his hands after seeing the equipment on them:


    "I don''t know why you came to me, but I must first explain that I don''t have a weapon on me, so don''t let your gun go off."


    ".OK."


    Seeing the other party''s movements so skillfully, Luo An''s mouth twitched, and then he asked directly without talking nonsense:


    "Hi Yoon, do you remember Tamara?"


    "Yeah, the cashier at Walmart, I remember her."


    Yoang nodded, slowly got up from the ground, Roan continued:


    "She disappeared, and some people said that you secretly photographed her before she disappeared."


    "NO! FU-K!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Yoon''s expression changed, he cursed a few times, and then hurriedly explained:


    "Bro, the manager of Wall Supermarket must have said this to you. Let me tell you, this is definitely a false accusation!


    A few weeks ago, when I was moving things in the supermarket warehouse, I saw two people interacting with the ingredients in the corner of the warehouse, so I immediately walked over and scolded them.


    It turned out that I walked over and saw that the two people were actually the supermarket manager and his wife!


    So the next day the supermarket manager said I was stealing in the supermarket and fired me. "


    "OK."


    Looking at Yoon calmly, Roan did not dwell on this issue, but continued to ask:


    "So when you were working in the supermarket, did you see someone hanging around Tamara, or did anyone harass her before she disappeared?"


    "Sorry, I really didn''t notice this."


    Yoang rubbed his oily hands casually on the overalls, and explained:


    "As you know, my job at the time was to move things in the warehouse of the supermarket, and I basically didn''t go to the front desk of the supermarket, so I just knew that there was Tamara, but I didn''t know much about her life and work."

 Chapter 62： Lies (Please read more! Please recommend!)

    Chapter 62 Lies (Please follow up! Please recommend!)


    "OK."


    Ryder nodded his head in agreement with what Joon said, but Roan frowned, pointing to the scars on Joang''s elbow and asked:


    "What''s wrong with your elbow?"


    Yoang was taken aback for a moment, then looked down at the scar on his right elbow that had not fully healed, raised his head and said with a relaxed expression:


    "It was scratched by Nurse Rukia''s cat.


    Her car broke down a few days ago. When I drove here to let me fix it, I didn''t notice that the co-pilot of that car had a cat, so I accidentally got scratched by it. "


    Speaking of which, a white car just parked in front of the car repair shop. The corner of Yoon��s mouth trembled, and he cursed something in a low voice, but he still pointed to the driver of the white car and said:


    "That''s her, she is Rukia, a nurse at the Maria Hospital next door."


    Roan and Ryder looked in the direction that Yoon pointed, and saw a strong white aunt struggling to get out of the driver''s seat of the car, and then yelled into the car repair shop:


    "Boss! Fix the car!"


    ��.��


    Seeing Nurse Lucia''s burly figure, Ryder didn''t react much, but the corner of Roan''s mouth twitched, and a picture appeared in his mind instantly:


    A Russian aunt carrying a log.


    "Coming soon!"


    Shouted casually, Yoon turned his head to look at Roan and Ryder, and shrugged:


    "If there is nothing else, I will go to work first. I am afraid that the boss will scold me after you leave."


    Ryder was about to nod his head in agreement, but Roan shook his head and said:


    "No, Yoon, you can''t go.


    You are not telling us the truth. "


    "what?"


    Hearing this, Joon''s heart skipped a beat, he froze for a moment, and then his face was full of displeasure.


    Facing Ryder''s puzzled eyes, Roan directly raised his right hand, put his elbow in front of his neck, fixed his eyes on Joon, and explained:


    "Only when you strangle someone''s neck with your elbow and the opponent struggles, will the strangler''s arm have the scars like yours.


    So, Yoon, answer me, what the **** is wrong with your arm? Are you sure it was a cat? What cat can scratch out six short transverse wounds? "


    After listening to Roan''s explanation, Ryder came to his senses at this moment, so he hurriedly cast his eyes on Yoon, and subconsciously put his hand on the gun at his waist.


    "What nonsense are you talking about?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Yoon was shocked in his heart, and seeing Ryder''s actions again, his heart sank, but he shouted angrily:


    "I already told you that these wounds are cat scratches! Do you think I''m lying because I''m black? Damn"


    "It has nothing to do with the color of your skin! It''s just that you are lying!"


    Roan tilted his head and looked at Nurse Rukia, who didn''t know why, but subconsciously leaned aside, and asked seriously:


    "Nurse Lucia, hello, I''m Agent Roan of the FBI. Yoon said that the wound on his arm was scratched by your cat. Is this true?"


    Hearing Roan''s question, Rukia was taken aback for a moment, and just about to answer, Yoon''s face changed drastically, and he rushed towards Ryder decisively, with both hands outstretched, the target was the pistol on Ryder''s waist.


    Boom!


    "ah-"


    A gunshot sounded, and Yoon clutched his right hand and wailed and collapsed to the ground.


    Also noticed Yoon''s movement, but took a step back before preparing to draw his gun and shoot. Team Ryder turned to look at Roan with a solemn expression.


    He didn''t expect Roan to be so fast.


    Calmly put away the Glock 18, Roan gave Ryder a look, motioning him to handcuff Yoon, and then said flatly:


    "According to federal law, lying to the FBI is a felony. Trying to **** an FBI agent''s gun is even more of a felony. Congratulations, Yoon, I would like to propose a prison package. I hope you will have a good time in it."


    "Shit! Biaozi raised it"


    Yoang, who was handcuffed by Ryder, lay on the ground and yelled, showing no signs of regret. Roan kicked him unconscious, motioned Ryder to put him in the car, and then took out his Nokia to make a phone call.


    Half an hour later, Lacey took several swat team members to bring Yoon back to the FBI New York branch headquarters, while Roan and Ryder went to Yoon''s home.


    On the way, I thought that Ryder had been silent for a long time and said to Roan:


    "Thank you, Roan."


    "It doesn''t matter."


    Roan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, replied casually. At this time, his attention was still on the victim-related materials in his hand. After hearing what Ryder said, he asked casually:


    "Ryder, do you think Yoon might be the murderer of this serial murder?"


    "impossible."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Ryder, who was driving, replied firmly:


    "This Yoon may have killed someone, but he is definitely not the serial murderer in this case."


    "Oh why?"


    Roan raised his head and looked at Ryder with interest, not understanding why he was so sure.


    He remembered that Ryder seemed to have no research on analyzing the case, and would only follow orders.


    As for the analysis of criminal psychology, Ryder is even more clueless.


    "It''s easy, Roan."


    Ryder, who was driving, grinned:


    "I heard a violent theory before, that is, 90% of the serial murderers in the United States are white. I don''t believe that we are so lucky to meet a black serial murderer."


    Roan: "."


    Yoang''s home is not far from the car repair shop. It is a brown bungalow that looks a bit dilapidated.


    The pitch-black SUV stopped slowly on the opposite side of the street. Roan and Ryder got out of the car, stepped over the shabby fence gate, and entered the yard directly.


    The two held the Glock in their hands, bent over and stood at the door of the house in a combat-ready posture, left and right. After counting down to three, Ryder kicked open the door and rushed in.


    "FBI!"


    Roan kept searching the various rooms in the house while shouting slogans.


    "Safety."


    "Safety!"


    The two of them checked the bedroom, the kitchen, the bathroom, etc., and after finding no trace of anyone, Roan and Ryder returned to the living room of the room.


    casually found a small bag of white flour under the coffee table in the living room, Ryder curled his lips and threw it aside, then turned his head and asked:


    "Do you want to call the trace inspection team?"


    "Not for now."


    Roan shook his head, rejected Ryder''s proposal, then frowned and scanned the room left and right, and even measured the width of the bedroom and living room step by step.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Ryder was a little puzzled.


    "The size of this house is wrong, did you find it?"


    Roan walked around the kitchen and living room, then pushed open the door and walked outside the house, touching his chin to observe the size of the whole house.


    Ryder understood something after hearing this, but he didn''t find anything. After observing carefully for a while, Roan walked to the kitchen and decisively pulled the entire refrigerator away from the place.


    A half-person-high small door appeared behind the refrigerator.


    "Nice job, Roan."


    Carefully push the small door open, and behind it is a dark staircase that is as wide as a person and has no bottom.


    This staircase occupies a small distance of the house.


    Maybe it was because Roan��s voice was different from that of Leo Ang��s in the past. A weak female voice came from the bottom of the dark stairs:


    "help"

 Chapter 63： Little St. Phils Church (seek to follow up! Please collect!)

    Chapter 63 Little St. Phil''s Church (please read more! Please collect!)


    Go down the stairs and you will find a small basement.


    Under the dim light, a wooden single bed was placed in the corner, with four ropes thicker than fingers, one end was firmly tied to the four feet of the bed, and the other end was tied to the white woman lying on the bed.


    In another corner of the basement, there was a dilapidated desk with a small bag of flour and a few used syringes on it.


    Hearing that the voice of the visitor was different this time, the woman barely opened her eyes, and whispered for help with her chapped lips:


    "help"


    ��


    In the living room of the house, Ryder was searching the house carefully. After Roan called the nearest hospital and asked him to send an ambulance here, he walked back to the sofa and poured a glass of water for the woman who simply put on a shirt and pants.


    Seeing that the other party''s sluggish state has improved a bit, Roan asked in a low voice what happened to the woman.


    "My name is Hayley."


    After drinking the water, the woman grabbed the half piece of bread that was left on the table in the living room and ate it, and said while eating:


    "I work in the gym in the Eliot District, and when I have no money to repay the bank loan at the end of each month, I will come to this area to work part-time to make money."


    Elite District also belongs to New Jersey, in the south of Northville District, about 20 minutes'' drive from Northville District.


    As for the part-time job that Haili was talking about, Roan frowned slightly when he thought of the coolly dressed women on the side of the road when he came by car. Instead of speaking, he poured some water into the glass again.


    After Haili, who was eating bread, finished speaking, she couldn''t see any expression of contempt on Roan''s face out of the corner of her eye, and she was faintly relieved.


    After asking about today''s date, Hailey continued:


    "Four nights ago, when I came here to work part-time, I met this **** named Yoon.


    Originally, I didn''t want to serve blacks, but this **** was willing to pay a third of the price, and it was still daytime, so I agreed.


    During the service that day, this **** strangled me with his right hand behind my neck, knocked me out, and when I woke up, I was locked down, and this **** was about to give me an injection Flour, said sell me in a few days."


    As for some small flaws in Haili''s words, Roan pretended not to hear them.


    Just as he was about to continue asking some questions, Ryder suddenly walked out of the bedroom beside him, still holding a white T-shirt in his hand.


    Shaking off the T-shirt, Ryder pointed to the signature on the lower right corner of the shirt and said:


    "Roan, this is Ricardo''s shirt from the hyena (lie four times) gang."


    Hearing this, Roan was taken aback, what is the Hyena Gang? Who is Ricardo?


    "The Hyenas were a white gang in the Bessac area of ??New Jersey."


    Seeing the doubts on Roan''s face, Ryder explained:


    "The gang is not a big one, but they are involved in industries such as flour, guns, and girls. They are one of the newly emerging forces in New Jersey in recent years.


    And this Ricardo is also one of the grooms in the Hyena Gang who are in charge of managing girls. "


    "OK."


    Roan didn��t know much about gangs in America, but the basic rule was clear that blacks mixed with blacks, and whites mixed with whites, so he asked:


    "Yoang is a black man, how could he get involved with a white gang?"


    "Obviously, Yoon is a part-time groom, and Ricardo only cares about Ji Nu''s skin color, not the groom''s."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Ryder glanced at Haili on the sofa and explained:


    "Especially the Hyena Gang has been very undisciplined lately."


    As a new gang, the Hyena Gang is currently in the expansion period of grabbing territory. At this time, they urgently need a large number of young women to make money for themselves.


    But it doesn��t mean that there are women, and grooms can��t conjure people out of thin air, so the grooms of the Hyena Gang coax women into the water while buying prostitutes from grooms in society.


    Yoon didn''t know where he heard about this. It happened that he was fired from the supermarket some time ago, and he was short of money, so he decided to take up a part-time job temporarily, and set his sights on appearing alone in this area, and he didn''t have any problems in the past. New faces seen.


    Such women generally do not have a groom behind them, and most of them work part-time. When they work part-time, they don''t tell others what they are doing, they just sneak to other areas and go out to work.


    This gave Joang a great opportunity, because he didn''t have to worry that after he kidnapped this kind of woman, someone would call the police immediately, or another groom would come to beat him up immediately.


    Promising a high price to lure the woman to his home, Yoon locked her up, controlled her day by day with a small amount of flour, and finally sold her to Ricardo of the Hyena Gang.


    As for the cost of flour to control women, as a black man, Yoon can always get cheap low-quality flour with impurities. As long as the women are not poisoned to death and addicted to it within a few days, then Yoon will not lose money.


    Seeing that Haili, who was sitting on the sofa, started to yawn, her nose was runny, and her spirits became listless again, Roan sighed.


    Ryder turned and continued to rummage through the house.


    Called again to urge the hospital''s ambulance, Roan took out the folder of the serial murder case, took out a few photos and handed them to Hai Li, asking:


    "Do you know any of these people?"


    Hailey opened her eyes and looked, then shook her head: "I haven''t seen them, and I don''t know them."


    Luo An frowned slightly, but he didn''t say much. He just wanted to play a game if he had dates or not. It''s best to have information, and it''s fine if he doesn''t.


    Didi��


    A few minutes later, the ambulance finally arrived. When Roan saw several nurses getting out of the ambulance, the corners of his mouth twitched. One of them was the burly nurse Rukia.


    He seemed to understand why the ambulance came so slowly.


    "Good afternoon, Agent Roan!"


    Nurse Rukia carried Haili on the sofa into the cart, waved her hand to signal her colleagues to push her back into the ambulance, then turned to Roan with a big smile, and asked:


    "Thank you for protecting me before, can you leave a phone number? I want to treat you to a meal."


    "It is my duty to protect the citizens of the Commonwealth."


    Feeling tense, Roan hurriedly changed the subject, took out the photos of the four victims of the serial murder case and handed them to Rukia, asking:


    "By the way, do you know or meet these people?"


    When Roan shot at the car repair shop before, Lucia hid in the lounge of the car repair shop decisively and never came out. Roan was busy on the phone and didn''t bother to ask her.


    "Let me see."


    Lukia took the photo, frowned after looking at it for a while, and pointed to the first victim, Linda Chipo said:


    "I think I saw her in the hospital, but I really can''t remember."


    Hearing this, Roan raised his brows. Just as he was about to ask, Rukia turned around and strode towards the ambulance, slapped the driver''s window of the ambulance, and shouted:


    "Tom, do you know this woman?"


    Roan opened his mouth and didn''t know what to say. Tom, who was in charge of driving the ambulance, cursed in a low voice, and then took the photo that Rukia handed him.


    "I know her, it should be Linda."


    A few seconds later, Tom nodded and explained to Roan on the side:


    "I forget what her husband''s name is, but I happened to be there when she got married in Little St. Phil''s Church a year ago. The wedding lasted for a long time because of someone''s disturbance, and I remember it very deeply."


    "Yes! That''s right, it''s Little St. Phil''s Church! Not a hospital!"


    Hearing what Tom said, Rukia slapped her hands happily and said:


    ��When the couple gets married in Little St. Phil��s Church, there will be dedication activities, that is, some free food will be provided to passers-by.


    I also went to that wedding and ate several big cakes. "


    Roan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and hurriedly handed the photos of the other three victims to Tom, asking:


    "Then do you know these three people?"


    Tom took the photo, looked at it carefully, and then pointed to the photo of Tamara Terry and said in a deep voice:


    "And her, eight or nine years ago, I don''t remember the exact time. But she was also married in Little St. Phil''s Church. At that time, I had no money, and I often went to Little St. Phil''s Church to participate in dedication activities."

 Chapter 64： DEA (Seek to follow up! Please recommend!)

    Chapter 64 DEA (please read more! Please recommend!)


    The office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    The crackling sound of the keyboard sounded, and after a long time, Mona tilted her head and said to Roan who was beside her:


    "You guessed it right, Roan, the four victims of the State Lake corpse case, Linda Kipper, Beatrice Leon, Natalie Carlyle and Tamara Terry, the four of them Both were married at Little St. Phil''s Church in the Kloster area of ??New Jersey."


    "OK."


    Roan nodded upon hearing the words, and Ryder on the side leaned over, looked at it for a few seconds and asked:


    "Is it connected to this serial murder?"


    "High probability."


    Roan nodded and explained:


    "The home addresses, living and working conditions, and social environment of the four victims are all unrelated, and even their appearances do not have uniform characteristics, such as blond hair or red hair.


    The only connection is that they are all married women.


    So now it is found that the weddings of several victims were all held in a church. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no connection between them. "


    Mona continued to retrieve the list of couples who have held weddings in the church in recent years, and then said:


    ��Before the wedding, the church management will ask the couple to fill in their personal information, such as name, home address, work location, etc.


    According to the church administrator, unless the newlyweds ask for these materials back, the information will always be kept in paper materials in the church and processed only once in a few years.


    The murderer can use that information to find the victim. "


    "It seems that this is where the murderer identified his target."


    After listening to Mona''s words, Lacey nodded with her arms around her waist.


    Roan glanced at Lacey, and asked Mona in a deep voice:


    ��Do you know who has access to the personal information of these newlyweds?��


    "I''m afraid we will have to go to Little St. Phil''s Church for on-site investigation."


    Mona spread her hands, her expression was very speechless:


    "According to common sense, only church managers can access those materials.


    But according to the couple who had their wedding in this church, apart from the clean, spacious and bright hall in front of this church, the other areas are actually very simple.


    Because there is nothing of value, there are no cameras installed in the corridors, and the small rooms are not very locked. The security guard is just an old priest.


    If someone wants to enter the church to steal information, they can do it without attracting anyone''s attention. "


    "All right."


    Seeing in the photo that when the couple got married, a group of people were eating for free in the small square outside the church because of the dedication activities. Roan rubbed his temples and said after a long silence:


    "How about it, Lacey, you and Ryder go to Little St. Phil''s Church together, and bring back the list of all the couples who have held a wedding here in the past ten years. I''m afraid we will have to compare them one by one."


    "What?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Ryder didn''t respond. Lacey, who was stroking Mona''s slender waist, jumped up on the spot and asked with a questioning face:


    "Why do we need to take such long-term information? We can directly check that when the four victims disappeared, the manager in the church didn''t have an alibi?"


    "This will indeed be checked, but not now."


    Seeing the puzzled gazes of Lacey, Ryder, and Mona, Roan twitched the corner of his mouth, coughed lightly and explained:


    ��First, of the four victims, Marla Terry was married eight years ago and died two weeks ago. We have no way of determining whether there is any connection between this.


    Second, according to the forensic report, the murderer obviously did not commit the crime for the first time.


    So we need to investigate these couples in the church to see if there are any missing cases before this, and then find a way to find the body, or find the connection between the victims.


    The more times the murderer commits crimes, the more things will be exposed, especially his previous crimes, which will definitely provide us with a lot of evidence for the FBI to find out his true identity.


    Third, the corpses of the four victims did not detect anything related to the murderer.


    Even if the administrator in the church didn''t have an alibi, it doesn''t help, because without evidence, we have no way to connect it to the victim.


    So while we investigate the church administrator, we must also find the murderer��s previous case, and then find more evidence to crucify the real murderer! "


    After listening to Roan''s methodical narration, Lacey and Ryder suddenly realized, nodded decisively, turned and left the office area.


    Mona looked at the computer and pondered for a moment, then tilted her head and asked:


    "But when the couple gets married in the church, there are so many passers-by who come to eat and drink for free because of the dedication activities. What about these people? We can''t rule out their suspicion?"


    ��.��


    Roan glanced at Mona, and was about to answer when August suddenly brought two white detectives in suits into the office area and shouted:


    "Roan! Come to the meeting room!"


    "Okay, sir."


    Patting Mona on the shoulder, Roan asked her to log into the FBI database to check the cases in the Little St. Phil Church area, focusing on murder cases, **** cases and stalking cases, and then walked into the conference room.


    As soon as he entered the meeting room and closed the door of the meeting room, Augustus pointed to the two white detectives and introduced to Roan:


    "The one on the left is our Special Investigations Agent Norton from the Organized Crime Section of the FBI. The one on the right is Special Investigations Agent Mullen from the DEA."


    FBI''s Organized Crime Section, the main direction of work is the gang.


    DEA, Drug Enforcement Administration, means the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the main direction of work is to combat the illegal flour trade and use in the United States.


    Notice! It''s illegal flour!


    Legal people don''t care.


    "Hello, just call me Roan."


    Roan frowned, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two agents, then tilted his head and asked:


    "I don''t know what you two are looking for me today?"


    "Hello, Agent Roan."


    The special investigation agents of the two departments glanced at each other, and the FBI explained by Norton of the Organized Crime Section:


    "It''s like this, our two departments have been investigating the Hyena Gang for a year, and want to send the gang''s boss, Lu Lanen, to prison"


    To put it simply, the black man named Yoon that Roan arrested today, after a large memory recovery by the FBI and DEA, said something that is not important to Yoon, but to the DEA and FBI important clues.


    So the two agents came here today to express their gratitude to Agent Luo An of the No. 5 investigation team.


    Seeing the $1,000 check handed over by the other party, Roan frowned. Didn''t expect to get money for just catching a black man?


    There are so many black people on the street.


    Glancing at Augustus, who was beside him with a big belly and a black face, Roan hurriedly threw aside the thoughts in his mind.


    "Thanks."


    After receiving the check, Roan politely said thank you.


    At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Agent Mullen from the DEA coughed and was about to speak. Roan''s eyes flickered, and he immediately put the check in his pocket, then grabbed the hands of the two agents and shook them together. With a warm smile on your face:


    "As an FBI agent, I have always admired the work of your two departments!


    As long as you need, I will definitely help you with other high-risk tasks such as undercover, assassinating gang leaders, listening to gang information, installing bugs, secretly recording videos, seducing gang boss wives, etc. Believe me, I''m good at solving crimes! "


    Mullen: "."


    Norton: "."

 Chapter 65： Undercover? (Please follow up! Please collect!)

    Chapter 65 Undercover? (Please follow up! Please collect!)


    Leaving the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team and walking in the corridor outside, DEA Special Investigator Mullen looked gloomy.


    Hesitating for a moment, he looked back and saw Augustus laughing with his arms around Roan''s shoulders, and the corner of his mouth immediately turned down.


    "I said it before, Maren."


    Seeing the expression on the face of his friend, Agent Norton from the Organized Crime Section of the FBI patted him on the shoulder and laughed:


    "Although it''s been less than a week since Luo An turned from an intern detective to a full-time detective, he has already solved a serial murder case.


    He is not one of those idiots who are willing to go undercover in gangsters after being fooled by you for a few words. "


    "Hey, Norton, it''s not stupid to go undercover, OK?"


    Hearing Norton''s words, Mullen was immediately unhappy. Just as he was about to explain, Norton spread his hands and asked:


    "How many of the people you DEA sent to go undercover managed to come back alive? How long did they stay undercover? After finishing the undercover work, did they come back and get promoted? Is there any bonus after returning?


    Your DEA''s undercover methods are too rough. Roan Greenwood is a promising FBI agent. I told you before that he can''t agree to you to do this kind of work. "


    Without waiting for Mullen to answer, Norton chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, and strode into the elevator.


    FBI''s organized crime department is also working on gangsters. Although I don''t know the full picture of DEA''s undercover success rate data, I can guess it roughly.


    Anyway, not high.


    ".snort."


    With a cold snort, Mullen stopped talking nonsense, took a cold look at the area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, and strode into the elevator.


    ��


    "Nice job, Roan."


    At the gate of the No. 5 investigation team, seeing Norton and Mullen enter the elevator, Augustus patted Roan on the shoulder, laughed with satisfaction and nodded again and again:


    "When you took the check just now, I was planning to remind you, but I didn''t expect you to see through the DEA''s idea. Yes, you have brains and are smart enough!"


    "Thank you, sir."


    Luo An chuckled and didn''t say much.


    As a killer, the most important thing is to believe in one''s instincts. When Roan first met Agent Mullen, Roan felt uncomfortable with him.


    At first, I thought that something was wrong with Yoon, the black man, or he said something that should not be said. Marlen came to find fault, but he didn''t expect that the other party came to deliver a check.


    However, after receiving the check, Mullen still felt uncomfortable to him. Reminiscent of the content of DEA''s work, Roan easily guessed the purpose of the other party:


    There is a high probability that I will pull myself to be an undercover agent!


    Of course, considering that I have already been on TV in New York, the undercover location should not be New York.


    The scope of work of the DEA covers the entire Federation. It is no problem to change cities, such as Chicago, or even a little further south.


    People there don''t read the New York Daily, after all.


    Regarding the job of being an undercover agent, Roan has only one thought in his mind:


    hehe.


    Undercover work is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.


    If you want to survive to the end, you need brains, strength, luck, and a reliable officer.


    Without one of them, one wakes up to find oneself sunk to the bottom of the Hudson River.


    Luo An looked down at himself, he was rich, handsome and promising, why did he do such a thankless job?


    And it''s not the job of the FBI?


    So just now he decisively blocked the other party''s mouth with words: Thank you for your check. If you need it in the future, I will provide you with all support except help!


    The two walked back to the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Augustus tilted his head and asked:


    "How is it? [The Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case] ??has any clues?"


    "A little."


    Roan nodded, and told Augustus that he had found the connection between the four victims, that is, the marriage experience of the Little St. Phil Church, and then said:


    "I''m going to check the list of newly married couples in that church to see if I can find new victims, so as to find out more information about the murderer."


    "OK."


    Regarding Roan''s thoughts, Augustus didn''t say much, nodded affirmatively, said that if he needed support, he would send a message immediately, and then turned his head to Verinisi''s office.


    It is said that Verenice is looking for him.


    Sit back to her workstation, and Mona, who is sitting next to her, is waving her ten fingers on the keyboard. When she sees Roan coming back, she immediately stops her movements, pointing at the computer and tilting her head with displeasure:


    "A good news, a bad news, Roan, which one do you want to hear?"


    Roan paused, speechless:


    "Let''s start with the bad news."


    Mona pouted, pointed at the computer and said:


    "The bad news is that you asked me to focus on Little St. Phil''s Church to investigate murder cases, **** cases, stalking cases, obscenity cases and other cases, and I can''t investigate them at all!


    The area is too big and there are countless cases! There are more than a dozen homicides that the New Jersey police haven''t solved!


    This was reported, some people died on the street, and after the New Jersey police sent people to clean up the bodies, there was no conclusion.��


    Hearing what Mona said, Roan''s head was full of black lines.


    As expected of the United States, where an average of 120 people are killed by shootings every day, the death of a person or something is really not a big deal in two densely populated places like New York and New Jersey.


    "What about the good news?"


    Mona pursed her lips, and after typing a few times on the keyboard, a circle appeared on the computer screen:


    "According to your request, when I investigated the case near the center of Little St. Phil''s Church, I drew a circle with a radius of 3 miles.


    It turned out that the lake at the junction of the state border where the bodies of the four victims were checked, and the homes of the four victims were in this circle. "


    "What did you say?"


    Seeing the circles on the computer, Roan''s eyes widened in surprise.


    But when he saw the list of cases that could not be retrieved from the computer, the corner of Luo An''s mouth twitched, and after a moment of thought, he said:


    "Because the disappearance and death of the first victim, Linda Chipo, was eight months ago, when you next inquire about the case, set the time within nearly a year.


    At the same time, those murderers have been arrested, and there is no need to investigate the cases in prison. The main investigation is the murderer who was released from prison within a year and is still living within a three-mile radius centered on Little St. Phil''s Church. "


    "All right."


    Hearing Roan''s arrangement, Mona sighed, took a sip of bitter coffee and patted her face, and the crackling keyboard sounded again.


    After a long time, Ryder, who was holding two large cardboard boxes, and Lacey, who was holding a large cardboard box, also rushed back.


    "Hoo��"


    Throwing the cardboard box on the floor of the conference room, Lacey and Ryder let out a long breath.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Roan poured a cup of coffee for the two, and then began to flip through the paper that contained information about the newlyweds.


    "Roan, these three boxes contain information records of newlyweds in Little St. Phil''s Church for the past two and a half years."


    After taking a sip of coffee, Lacey sat down on the chair, her face tightened:


    "Little St. Phil''s Church receives newcomers every week. If there are many people, it can receive 4 couples a day, and if there are few people, there will be 2 couples a day.


    If you really want to check the information of all newcomers in the past ten years, then don''t check it. The ten people in our No. 5 investigation team can''t check it at all. "


    "That''s right, that''s right."


    Ryder on the side nodded repeatedly, put down his coffee cup and said: "On our way back and forth just now, Little St. Phil''s Church received another couple of newcomers."


    Luo An frowned when he heard the words. After a long silence, he suddenly patted his head, stood up, shook the paper in his hand and said:


    "No, we still need to check."


    Seeing that Lacey and Ryder''s faces collapsed after listening to his words, Roan shook his head and said in a deep voice:


    "But we will focus on checking the records of new couples in the past seven months, and the records of new couples in the past two weeks."


    "Why?"


    Ryder was refreshed when he heard the words, but Lacey asked suspiciously:


    "But you said before that Marla Terry was married eight years ago and died two weeks ago, which."

 Chapter 66： Case investigation direction (please read more! Please recommend!)

    Chapter 66 Case Investigation Direction (Seek further reading! Please recommend!)


    "Yes, I did say that before."


    Roan nodded, then shook his head and said:


    "But I found that it may not be useful to simply look for the victim''s marriage time. We still have to start with the murderer."


    "?"


    Lacey and Ryder walked out of the conference room with question marks on their faces. Roan took out the folder of the victim''s information file at his desk.


    Greeting Mona who was still typing on the keyboard, Roan took out a signature pen and drew a big circle on the missing time of the four victims.


    "Watch carefully"


    Roan placed the file folder in front of the three of them, and said in a deep voice:


    "It just occurred to me that the first victim disappeared eight months ago, converted into weeks, roughly 32 weeks ago,


    The second victim disappeared two months ago, converted into weeks, roughly 8 weeks ago,


    The third victim disappeared a month ago, converted into weeks, roughly 4 weeks ago,


    The fourth victim, who disappeared 2 weeks ago.


    Of course, this time is when the case was handed over to our No. 5 investigation, not today. "


    "Holly Shit!"


    "Fu-k!"


    Seeing the numbers written by Roan on the file, Lacey and Ledzizi cursed, while Mona''s eyes lit up, and she shouted:


    "Geometric sequence?"


    "Not waiting."


    "?"


    Ignoring what he answered subconsciously, Roan nodded to Mona and said:


    "It may be a geometric sequence, but a 16 is missing in the middle. We can boldly speculate that there should be another victim about four months ago, but no one has found her body yet.


    Or the police in New Jersey had found her body, but the body was classified by the police in other cases. "


    "Shit!"


    Cursing the police in New Jersey in a low voice, Lacey looked away from the file and asked Roan:


    "But 2 in the geometric sequence is already the smallest number, does it mean that the murderer will not kill again?"


    "It''s just possible that it is a geometric sequence, not 100%."


    Roan shook his head and said in a deep voice:


    "From another perspective, two 2s are 4, and two 4s are 8, so which two things add up to 2?"


    "Two 1s!"


    "Biaozi raised it!"


    Lacey answered, Mona cursed secretly, Ryder frowned, and took a sip of bitter coffee.


    This means that the murderer may continue to commit crimes this week.


    Wow��


    Walking to the front of the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Roan took a whiteboard, erased some of what Augustus had written on it, and began to write seriously.


    Moments later, under the dignified eyes of the agents of the No. 5 investigation team, Roan finished writing all the clues and analysis he had obtained so far.


    Coughed lightly, just about to introduce to everyone, Augustus and Verenice suddenly walked in.


    "Sir."


    Verinis waved her hand, seeing all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team surrounding Roan, she asked in a cold voice:


    "what happened?"


    "It''s nothing, I''m just going to analyze the case with you."


    Roan threw the pen in his hand aside, looked at Vernis and asked with a smile:


    "Sir, do you have any new tasks for us?"


    Didn''t answer Roan''s question, Vernis walked to the whiteboard, looked carefully for a moment, then tilted her head and asked:


    "The serial murder case of the female corpse in the lake?"


    Roan, who was winking with Augustus and asking Verinis why she came to the No. 5 investigation team, heard Vernis'' cold voice and immediately replied:


    "That''s right, this is the case. I just got some new clues and I''m going to discuss it with you."


    Verinis nodded, without saying anything, she casually pulled an agent''s chair, and sat down with her legs crossed:


    "speak."


    ".OK."


    Seeing that Augustus also pulled a chair and sat beside Verinisi, and didn''t tell himself anything, Roan licked the corner of his mouth, didn''t care, picked up a pen and started introducing.


    Pata��


    The whiteboard marker was tapped on the upper left corner, Roan pointed to the PPT, pointed to the information on the whiteboard and said:


    "First victim, Linda Kipo, married, twenty-eight. Second victim, Beatrice Leon, married, thirty-four. Third victim, Nata Lee Carlyle, married, 25. The fourth victim, Tamara Terry, married, 30.


    When the case was first handed over to the No. 5 investigation team, we only found the following similarities between the victims:


    First: They are all married women.


    Second: After the murderer kidnapped the victims, they tortured them for a period of time, resulting in bruises on their upper body and lacerations on their lower body.


    Third: The way the murderer kills them is to directly strangle them with a rope.


    Fourth: After murdering them, they all took away the rings from the victim''s hand. "


    Hearing Roan''s narration, Mona Lacey and other detectives became more focused, Augustus nodded in satisfaction, Vernis''s legs turned up and down, her lips were slightly pursed, her expression remained the same, and she did not speak. .


    "Because the victim''s body was soaked in the lake for too long, the forensic doctor could not find the murderer''s DNA, and the above information could not determine the identity of the murderer, so we launched a follow-up investigation."


    Roan took the whiteboard marker, tapped the text in the center area of ??the whiteboard, and said solemnly:


    ��During our investigation, we discovered a new connection between the victims:


    First: The church where the four victims got married was a family, and they were all Little St. Phil��s Church.


    Second: Draw a circle with a radius of 3 miles around the Little St. Phil''s Church. The lake where the body was found and the homes of the four victims are all within this circle.


    Third: The time when the four victims disappeared, that is, the time when the murderer started. If converted into weeks, they are 32 weeks ago, 8 weeks ago, 4 weeks ago, and 2 weeks ago. 16 is missing, which is suspected to be a geometric sequence. "


    Hearing this, Mona and Lacey, who was hugging her slender waist, didn''t change their expressions. Ryder took another sip of the bitter coffee, and the rest of the detectives looked solemn. Augustus opened his mouth to ask questions, but he couldn''t see Vernis, who was on the side, fell silent again.


    Verinis looked at the words on the whiteboard, narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment and asked:


    "What are you going to do next?"


    Roan glanced at Verenice, his expression unchanged, pointing to the text in the upper right corner of the whiteboard with a whiteboard marker, and said in a deep voice:


    "First of all, Agents Lacey and Agent Ryder have already retrieved the information list of new couples in Little St. Phil''s Church in the past two and a half years.


    Secondly, according to the data, the first victim, Linda Qibo, got married eleven months ago and disappeared eight months ago. The second victim, Beatrice Leon, married five months ago and disappeared two months ago. The third victim, Natalie Carlyle, was married four months ago and disappeared a month ago.


    Except for the fourth victim, Tamara Terry, who was married eight years ago but disappeared two weeks ago, all the others were taken away by the murderer in the third month after their marriage.


    So we have four things to do next:


    First: Carefully investigate the people in the Little St. Phil''s Church. It is impossible for this case to have nothing to do with them.


    Second: Focus on checking the couples who got married in Little St. Phil''s Church three months ago and are currently living in the circle, and check whether there are any missing incidents among these couples this week.


    During the investigation, we must leave our contact information, so that if a case occurs later, the family members of the victim can contact us in time.


    Third: Investigate the couples who got married in St. Phil''s Church 16 weeks ago and three months ago, that is, seven months ago, and lived in the circle within four months after marriage, to see if any disappearances happened to them body.


    If there is such a case, then we may find traces of the murderer and catch the murderer.


    Fourth: Investigate the criminals who live near the Little St. Phil Church in the circle and have been imprisoned for rape, stalking, and obscenity, but have just been released from prison in the past year.


    Because the forensic report shows that the murderer is not the first time to kill, and the crimes are gradually escalated, these people are also very suspicious. "


    Having said that, Roan turned around and said to everyone with a serious expression:


    "The more the murderer does, the greater the chance of mistakes, and the higher the chance of us catching each other. I believe that as long as all the detectives of our No. 5 investigation team work together, we will be able to catch this murderer!"


    "GOOD!"


    "That''s right!"


    "Good job!"


    After listening to Luo An''s analysis, all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team were encouraged and applauded.


    Augus also got up and left the chair, slapped Roan on the shoulder, grinned a few times, looked back at the agents, and shouted:


    "Now, everyone, let me investigate the people Roan just said! Let''s throw the murderer into prison as quickly as possible!"


    The detectives took the information of the newlyweds in the big cardboard box, ran back to their workstations, and started working.


    The expression on Verenice��s face did not change, but she was also very satisfied in her heart. She got up and left the chair and walked towards Augustus��s team leader��s office.


    When passing by Roan, Vernis said to Roan in a cold voice:


    "Come in."


    Roan: "?"


    Thanks to Jie Lieyi, yunlong buddies, Shanhui, Adan AJT and other book friends for their rewards, thank you all for your support!

 Chapter 67： Bank Robbery (seek to follow up! Please collect!)

    Chapter 67 Bank Robbery (Please follow up! Please collect!)


    Following Vernis into the team leader''s office, the two sat down.


    "Browsen has a bank robbery case in his hands."


    No nonsense, Vernis sat on a chair, raised her legs and looked at Roan, and said in a cold voice:


    "However, three days have passed, and Brosen not only did not find any trace of the robber, but also did not know the identity of the robber.


    Even while he was tracking down the whereabouts of the robbers, the gang tricked him once and robbed another bank. "


    "Poof��"


    Hearing the news, Roan couldn''t hold back, and accidentally laughed out loud.


    Seeing this, Verinisi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but quickly suppressed her emotions, returned to her expressionless face, and continued:


    "Now this matter is causing a lot of trouble, the senior management of the bank is very dissatisfied, and my superior is also very dissatisfied.


    At the meeting a few hours ago, Brosen was forced to set a time limit for solving the case:


    Today does not count, the next three days.


    If he fails to solve the case and catch the robber in the next three days, then Brosen will be dismissed from his position as the team supervisor and transferred away from the FBI New York branch building. "


    Hearing the punishment after failing to solve the case, Roan smiled.


    Bruesen''s transfer is of course a good thing, and I am very happy, but Vernis told herself about it.


    Silent for a few seconds, looked at Vernis and asked:


    "What do you mean, sir?"


    "To be honest, this gang of bank robbers is very sophisticated. I think Brosen''s success rate in solving the case this time is a bit low."


    Seeing that Roan quickly reacted, Verinisi showed appreciation in her eyes, coughed lightly, looked at Roan with both eyes, and said in a cold voice:


    "Browson can be transferred, but the case will not be transferred, it still needs to be solved by our FBI in New York.


    So after the meeting, my superior asked several of our group supervisors to discuss who would take over the case if Brosen failed. "


    Hearing that Verenice is not currently taking over the case, Roan was relieved.


    He thought that the serial murder case in his hands hadn''t been solved, so Verenice came over to add to his burden.


    Moreover, it was an experienced old FBI like Brosen, who didn''t take on the big burden.


    Taking a deep breath, Roan looked at Verenice and asked seriously:


    "So, the chief wants to take this case?"


    "Exactly."


    Vernice nodded, looking at Roan with both eyes:


    "Of the five investigation teams under me, the No. 1 investigation team has dropped a lot in solving crimes because of Brosen''s departure.


    The investigation team No. 2, 3, and 4 have always been mediocre in solving cases, and they have at least three cases in their hands, so they really can''t take over this case. "


    Verinis didn''t say the whole thing, but Roan already understood what the other party meant:


    Investigation Team No. 5 has its own team, and only has one serial murder case in hand, so it can take over this case.


    Sticking out the tip of his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth, Roan looked up at Verenice and asked with a smile:


    "Sir, if you break this case, then you"


    "Then I have a chance to take another step forward."


    Vernice didn''t hide it from Roan, because Roan was invited by her to join the Columbus Foundation.


    "If this bank robbery is solved."


    Verinis folded her legs, leaned forward, crossed her hands on the desk, stared at Roan, her cold tone revealed a sense of ambition:


    "I have the opportunity to go further, and you also have the opportunity to be promoted to a senior agent in an exceptional way. At the same time, you can also get a lot of money from the bank."


    Less than a month after becoming a full-time agent from an intern agent, he was promoted to a senior agent. This is not an ordinary promotion.


    But Roan didn''t show any reaction on his face.


    Hearing that the bank will give out a lot of money later, Roan only twitched his eyelids.


    Opportunities always coexist with risks, and this truth is deeply rooted in Roan''s mind.


    Although Luo An didn''t like Bruosen, the other party had been able to sit comfortably as the leader of the No. 1 investigation team for so many years. At the same time, the detection rate of the No. 1 investigation team was second to none among the thirteen investigation teams.


    It is impossible to believe that Bruosen has no ability to solve crimes.


    But such a Brosen, whose case-solving experience is one folder thicker than his own, unexpectedly failed to catch the bank robber this time.


    The level of the gang of bank robbers


    If the case is handed over to him, the case is successfully solved, and the murderer is caught, then everything will be perfect.


    But if the case is not solved and the murderer flees and disappears, Bruosen��s ending may be his own ending


    Money is indeed a good thing, but the premise of taking it is that everything is safe.


    After a long silence, Roan looked up at Vernis and said with a smile:


    "Sir, do you have any information on the bank robbery? I need to study it carefully before I can make a decision."


    "OK, I''ll have someone bring it to you when I get back."


    Vernice nodded and agreed to Roan''s request.


    "Don''t worry, Roan, just make a decision in three days. I''m here today just to tell you the news."


    Before leaving the No. 5 investigation team, Vernis sat on a chair in the team leader''s office, looked at Roan''s side face and said in a deep voice:


    "The real leader in the process of solving the case is you, so you must carefully examine the situation of the case and carefully analyze the possibility of catching the robbers. If you are really not sure of solving the case, you must tell me.


    I have time for things like promotion, and you have time too. "


    Verinis has always been broad-minded and reasonable when dealing with her own people.


    And she was not in a hurry, she just saw the opportunity and subconsciously wanted to seize it.


    "OK, thank you sir."


    Roan grinned, opened the door and walked out from the team leader''s office.


    Seeing Roan come out of his office, Augustus, who was looking down at Mona typing on the keyboard, his eyes lit up, and immediately got up and walked towards this direction.


    "Sir."


    Roan grinned, thinking that Augustus was going to say something to him.


    Unexpectedly, Augustus passed him directly, and walked towards the door of the No. 5 investigation team, and was about to leave the No. 5 investigation team. Verniss.


    "?"


    Seeing Augustus'' big dark face, smiling faintly at Verenice, and hearing words like ''SUV'', ''salary'', and ''apology'' coming faintly, Roan was a little dazed for a moment.


    Forget it, it doesn''t matter.


    Stretching, Roan looked around the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team. Except for Ryder, all the other agents were busy using the information of the newcomers in the Little St. Phil Church to check for missing wives.


    Luo An nodded secretly, the military spirit is available!


    Then


    It''s time to get off work.


    As usual, everyone who finished the day''s work went back to their homes.


    Ryder went home to find his wife and son, Mona took the computer back to her newly bought small apartment, Lacey took out some cosmetics from somewhere, painted on her face, tied her white shirt up, and went straight to a certain place. a bar.


    Sending August, who was rubbing the car, back to his home, Roan drove a Chevrolet, wandering aimlessly on the streets of New York, not knowing where he should go.


    The small apartment has not yet started to be built. The decoration company that Ryder found for Roan is still in the stage of drawing design drawings for Roan to review.


    Find a hotel to sleep at random, Roan saw that it was less than six o''clock on the watch, and felt that the time seemed a bit early.


    After thinking for a long time, Roan decided to find a gym to exercise.


    The body is the capital of everything, and the scene of back pain before is still vivid.


    Randomly found a gym in the Greenwich area where the small apartment was located. Roan parked the car and walked in slowly.


    "Hello."


    Seeing Roan walking into the gym, the young Caucasian female trainer Della''s eyes lit up, she immediately threw the water in her hand on the ground, and stretched out her hand towards Roan:


    "My name is Della, and I''m the coach here. Is this your first time here?"


    "Hi, my name is Roan."


    Stretched out his hand and shook the other party, Luo An looked down at the other party''s breathtaking, the corners of his mouth were raised, and a smile appeared on his ordinary handsome face:


    "It''s indeed my first time here."

 Chapter 68： New Disappearance Case (Please read more! Please recommend!)

    Chapter 68 New Disappearance Case (please read more! Please recommend!)


    Early the next morning, Chevrolet.


    Seeing the good comments on the system page and the newly prescribed three bottles of stamina medicine, the corner of Roan''s mouth twitched.


    Silently drank a bottle of stamina potion, and his sore waist instantly became full of energy. Roan hesitated for a moment, and blacklisted this gym.


    Damn my essence and blood, never come again!


    At 7:40, Roan arrived at the parking lot under the Jacobs Federal Building. After parking the Chevrolet, he checked the time and turned to the coffee shop opposite the building to buy a cup of ordinary coffee with sugar and milk.


    "In your previous life, when did milk tea enter the federation?"


    Holding coffee and a small bag of breakfast, Roan passed the security check on the first floor of the Jacobs Federal Building, thinking about whether to open a milk tea shop in New York, to get some mysterious oriental culture for the local turtles who drink shabu-shabu every day in the Federation. shock.


    While drinking coffee, he walked slowly to the elevator leading to the fifth floor of the investigation team.


    Just as the elevator door was about to close, a hand suddenly stretched out to stop it.


    The elevator door slowly opened again, and Roan looked up, and it turned out to be Brosen and Matthews, who was full of displeasure.


    Roan knew Matthews'' name from William before.


    Seeing the two people who had obviously not slept all night, their eyes were red, and their faces were covered with oil, Luo An was silent for a second, and a warm smile slowly appeared on his face:


    "Good morning, sirs."


    Roan has always been very polite.


    ��.��


    Seeing that the person in the elevator was Roan again, after hearing Roan''s greeting, Matthews almost spit out the Son of the Beach.


    But seeing the officer next to him, Brosen, walk into the elevator expressionlessly, Matthews hastily swallowed the words that had reached his throat, and followed Brosen into the elevator.


    Roan was standing in the left back corner of the elevator with coffee and breakfast in hand, while Brosen and Matthews were standing on the right side of the elevator door.


    There was no imaginary verbal confrontation, and the elevator quietly arrived at the floor where the investigation team was located.


    The elevator door opened, and Brosen stepped out expressionlessly, without looking at Roan from the beginning to the end, as if this person did not exist at all.


    Matthews cursed something in a low voice when he left the elevator, but he didn''t look back at Roan.


    In the corridor, Matthews caught up with Bruosen, looking very unhappy:


    "Sir, this Roan"


    "Not urgent."


    Hearing what Matthews said, Brosen was expressionless, but the cold light in his eyes seemed to be able to freeze to death:


    "Wait until he fails to solve the case before doing it."


    Matthews raised the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and sneered again and again: "Okay, sir."


    On the other side, walking to the door of the No. 5 investigation team, he tilted his head and glanced at Bruosen''s back. Roan took a sip of his coffee:


    ��There is an old saying in the East, a dog that bites does not bark��


    The cold light flickered in his eyes, and Roan silently raised the danger level of Brosen to himself by one level in his heart.


    The opponent''s method is nothing more than to add insult to injury.


    But for things like throwing stones into a well, there must be a well.


    "Good morning, Roan."


    Lacey, whose makeup disappeared again, dragged her tired body out of the elevator.


    After saying hello, she snatched the breakfast from Roan''s hand, swallowed it in two or three bites, and fell asleep on her desk.


    Roan: "."


    "Good morning, Roan."


    Roan had just sat back at his workstation when Ryder, who was covered in lumps, came over with a bag of breakfast.


    "Good morning, Ryder."


    Roan nodded, replied with a smile, then took the breakfast that Ryder was going to put on the desk, and stuffed it into his mouth in two or three bites.


    Ryder: "???"


    "Good morning, agents, congratulations on another day in your life!"


    With a big belly and carrying a bag of breakfast, August entered the No. 5 investigation team on time, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door:


    "Today, the enemy we have to deal with is still the murderer of this serial murder case. Thanks to Detective Luo An for his wonderful analysis yesterday, which helped us rule out some wrong options.


    Now, does any of the agents have anything new? "


    "Yes, sir!"


    Hearing this, William stood up holding a folder and said loudly:


    "Before I got off work yesterday, when I was investigating couples who got married in Little St. Phil''s Church three months ago and are currently living in the circle, I accidentally discovered a disappearance that was reported to the New Jersey police yesterday morning."


    In some areas of the United States, if the disappearance time does not exceed 24 hours, it will be classified as a missing incident. The means adopted by the police are only to record and will not investigate.


    If the missing time exceeds 24 hours, the missing event will be upgraded to a missing case.


    But the police will decide whether to open a case for investigation based on the family situation of the missing person, and how many police forces will be dispatched during the investigation.


    Everything program is very American.


    "Um?"


    Everyone cheered up, and all turned their attention to William, but William said immediately:


    "The person who reported the disappearance was indeed the husband of the newlyweds, but the missing person was not his wife, but his daughter in high school."


    Hearing this, Augustus frowned:


    "Although it''s a little bad to say that, girls in high school don''t seem to fit our habit of finding this murderer?"


    "really."


    William nodded: "Not only that, this girl was also found by her father last night. The reason for her disappearance was that she sneaked out with her boyfriend to play, so the disappearance was also canceled by the New Jersey police."


    ��.��


    Hearing William''s words, everyone was a little speechless, but Roan discovered something, and asked in confusion:


    "Is there a follow-up?"


    "Exactly!"


    William handed Roan a "you understand me" look, then picked up another folder from the table, and said:


    "Just now when I turned on the computer, I saw this husband reporting a disappearance to the New Jersey Police Department. The missing person this time was his new wife.


    The time of disappearance According to the husband, it was when he went out to look for his daughter last night. Because the missing time was less than 24 hours, the New Jersey police did not upgrade the disappearance to a missing case, nor did they start an investigation. "


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes changed instantly.


    William looked down at the couple''s marriage information, and said seriously: "The couple got married two and a half months ago."


    He lived near the Little St. Phil Church, in the circle, and was married within three months. The missing person was a married woman, and the missing time was also at night, which met all the conditions of the previous victims.


    Not only that, yesterday it was also speculated that the murderer may continue to commit crimes during this period


    After briefly passing the information in his mind, Roan decisively cast his gaze on Augustus. Augustus nodded, motioned for William to sit down, and asked loudly:


    "Has any of the agents discovered anything new?"


    All the agents shook their heads, Augustus immediately looked at Roan, Roan did not hesitate, and immediately led Ryder and Lacey to the equipment warehouse.


    Gathering the equipment, the three of them got into the SUV of the No. 5 investigation team. Roan stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared out.


    ��


    "It''s all your fault! If it wasn''t for you."


    In a small two-story house in a community 2.5 miles southwest of Little St. Phil��s Church, when Roan and the three arrived, the middle-aged Caucasian husband, Qiao Nuo, was standing on the stairs and furious, pointing at a room on the second floor and yelling. .


    bang bang bang��


    "Hello, FBI."


    Pushing open the door of the house that was not closed at all, Roan took out the golden badge of the FBI and showed it to Qiao Nuo, asking with a serious face:


    "Mr. Qiao Nuo, you reported a disappearance to the New Jersey Police Department last night, right?"


    Someone asked the author before about the tax payment of the protagonist after receiving the thank-you money. The author explains here:


    In the United States, the fiscal year is divided according to the natural year. When filing taxes, the tax information of the previous year is reported.


    To put it simply, in 2023, the tax of 2022 will be paid.


    Of course, in the United States, when residents generate income, whether it is wages or stock trading, as long as you have income, the company will first deduct a part of it in proportion, and the company will use it to pay taxes.


    For example, if you earn 100 yuan a month, you only get 95 yuan, and the remaining 5 yuan is used by your company to pay taxes.


    Then, when you file your tax return on April 15th every year, you can apply for a tax refund, because most of the time, the company deducts a lot of tax for you, so you may get back 2 yuan for the 5 yuan you are deducted later. .


    Of course, the main content of the author''s book is to solve crimes. As the world has said before, it is fictional.


    So don��t be too serious about taxes, everyone. Taxes are certain, but it is set to pay taxes this year if you make money last year, and pay taxes next year if you make money this year. How much tax should be paid on wages and bonuses will be calculated together in the second year.


    Otherwise, tax payment in the United States has to be calculated as income (salary + investment + etc.), tax exemption, tax credit, and tax rate. My book is about solving cases, not tax calculation, and the author is not an accountant o(�i �n�i)o

 Chapter 69： Bad eyesight (Please follow up! Please ask for a monthly pass!)

    Chapter 69 Bad eyesight (please read more! Ask for a monthly pass!)


    "FBI?"


    Seeing the golden badge displayed in front of his eyes, Qiao Nuo was taken aback for a moment, but behind him he looked happy, nodded repeatedly and said:


    "That''s right, my wife disappeared, just last night, me."


    Qiao Nuo suddenly felt something was wrong while talking, why the person who came was not the New Jersey State Police, but the FBI?


    Could it be that.


    Thinking of this, Qiao Nuo''s expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked:


    "Mr. Detective, what happened to my wife? Where is she now?"


    "Please calm down, Mr. Qiao Nuo."


    Roan turned his head and gave Lacey a look, she nodded, walked up the stairs and managed to let Qiao Nuo''s daughter open the door with a few words, and easily entered her daughter''s room.


    Ryder walked out of the room and began to look around the apartment, trying to find some useful clues.


    "Our goal is to find your wife, which is the same for both of us."


    Roan signaled Qiao Nuo to sit down first, and then said with a serious face:


    "So please calm down and answer my question seriously, okay? The more detailed you describe, the more likely it is that I will find your wife!"


    "OK, OK."


    Hearing what Roan said, Qiao Nuo poured a glass of water and drank it up. After taking a deep breath, he said with a gloomy face:


    "Susan and I got married two and a half months ago"


    The story behind it is not complicated. Qiao Nuo is in his forties this year and had a marriage. Later, his wife died in a car accident, and he raised his daughter Hina alone.


    In recent years, daughter Hina grew up and went to a boarding high school. By chance, Qiao Nuo met his wife Susan who just turned 30.


    Qiao Nuo and Susan fell in love at first sight, and after interacting with each other for a period of time, the wedding was held in the nearby Little St. Phil Church two and a half months ago.


    During this period of marriage, daughter Hina has been throwing tantrums whenever she comes home from high school, even the night before.


    The father and daughter had a big quarrel and went back to their respective houses. Qiao Nuo suddenly discovered that the door of the house was unlocked yesterday morning. When he looked carefully, his daughter was gone.


    So he quickly contacted the New Jersey Police Department and reported the disappearance. At the same time, Qiao Nuo and Susan were also driving, looking for Hina everywhere.


    Hearing this, Roan lowered his head to record in his notebook, then raised his head and asked:


    "Susan also went to look for your daughter? You two searched separately?"


    "Exactly."


    Qiao Nuo nodded, and said in a deep voice:


    "About half past nine last night, I found my daughter in a small hotel.


    Then I called Susan, she said she was near the ''Louis Supermarket'' and would be back in half an hour, but she didn''t come home until eleven o''clock in the evening. No one heard. "


    Roan wrote and drew in his notebook, and continued to ask: "Does Susan drive?"


    "have."


    Qiao Nuo pointed to an old red car outside, with an ugly expression on his face:


    "Susan was driving this car before she married me.


    After she lost contact last night, I went to the supermarket to look for her. The car was parked at the corner diagonally opposite to the supermarket, with the key inserted in it. I couldn''t find her, so I drove back. "


    "OK."


    Luo An drew a circle on the notebook, and was about to go to the supermarket to check the monitoring later. When he was about to get up, he suddenly blinked his eyes, tilted his head and asked:


    "Mr. Qiao Nuo, what is your wife''s height and weight?"


    "1.66 meters, about 45kg."


    Roan stood up from the sofa, and Lacey also walked out of her daughter''s house on the second floor. After waving goodbye to her daughter, she and Roan walked out of the apartment door.


    "Just a teenage girl who got scammed by the school quarterback."


    Seeing Roan tilt her head and look at herself, Lacey shook her head: "This matter has nothing to do with her, at least I didn''t see that she lied to me."


    Roan nodded, trusting the judgment of Lacey who came out of the intelligence office.


    Looking at Ryder, Ryder shook his head:


    "There are no clues near the house, and there is no sign of struggle in the car. It is obvious that the missing Susan got out of the car on her own initiative."


    "OK."


    No more hesitation, Roan decisively took the two of them back to the SUV and drove to the ''Louis Supermarket''


    ��


    Louis Supermarket is a small supermarket similar to an oriental canteen. The owner is an old white lady named Louise.


    Hearing Roan''s question, Louise shook her head and said that her canteen didn''t have the money to install surveillance cameras. As for what happened last night.


    "As soon as the woman got in the car, a gray car stopped beside her."


    Louis said that she is getting old and her eyesight is not working well. She couldn��t see clearly what happened last night:


    "A white man got out of the gray car, about forty years old, with curly hair, wearing an ordinary black coat.


    The man chatted with the woman in the red car for a while. The woman got out of the car with a smile. The man opened the trunk with a smile. Before the woman could react, the man stuffed it in. "


    Lacy, Ryder: "."


    Roan: "Okay."


    The corner of his mouth twitched, and he recorded the words Louise narrated in a small notebook.


    As for why Louise didn''t call the police, it can only be said that the people living at the bottom of American society have never had a past.


    Roan continued to ask:


    "Did you see the license plate number on that car? Or, have you seen the man driving the car before?"


    "My eyesight is not good, how can I see the license plate number clearly? It is even more impossible to see the man''s face clearly."


    Louis curled her lips, feeling that the dentures in her mouth were a little crooked, she stretched out her hand to straighten it up and said slowly:


    "But I did see that man when I went to eat at Little St. Phil''s Church.


    He didn''t eat, but stood half in the shadow and half in the sun, watching the newlyweds in the church smoking silently. "


    Hearing this, Roan, Lacey, and Ryder glanced at each other, their eyes lit up, and just about to ask Louise a few more words, the other party suddenly took out three cans of drinks from the side and stuffed them into the arms of the three:


    "$3, thanks."


    Roan: "."


    Paying the payment silently, Lacey and Ryder went around to inquire about those old-fashioned cameras that were not connected to the Internet, hoping to find some clues.


    Roan walked towards the spot where the red car was parked last night.


    "Mona, where I am standing now, is there any network monitoring?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, there was the sound of typing on the keyboard on the other end of the phone, followed by Mona''s sigh:


    "Your area belongs to the old city, and there is no network monitoring in a large area."


    Tell Mona the color of the car and the time to leave here, Roan continued:


    "Then you should check the main road with surveillance video outside this area, and record the suspicious gray cars that appeared at that time."


    "OK".


    Hung up the phone, after a while, Lacey and Ryder came back back and forth.


    "Most of the surveillance cameras installed by businesses are old-fashioned, and they are all facing indoors."


    Lacey''s complexion is not very good: "There are several surveillance cameras facing the outside, but the surveillance area is only the entrance of your own shop."


    Ryder nodded: "It''s the same on my side."


    "All right."


    The old towns in the United States are like this, Roan didn''t say much, but took Lacey and Ryder into the SUV again:


    "Go to Little St. Phil''s Church, I have a hunch that there will be surprises for me."


    Thank you for your support! Don''t talk nonsense, today is the third watch!

 Chapter 70： lake

    Chapter 70 Lake


    Among the melodious songs, a young newlyweds hugged and kissed each other in front of the priest. The relatives and friends of the newlyweds applauded warmly, and the church was full of happiness.


    In the corridor behind the church.


    "Excuse me, Mr. Agent."


    One of the managers of the church, an old priest with glasses and gray hair, frowned after listening to Roan''s description, and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said:


    "I''m really sorry, but I really haven''t seen the man you just mentioned, and I don''t have any impression in my mind."


    Speaking of this, the old priest paused, tilted his head and pointed outside the church, and said to the passers-by who were eating dedicated food:


    "You can ask them, some of them often participate in giving, maybe you can get useful news from them."


    "Okay, thank you Father."


    "You''re welcome, and God bless you."


    The old priest nodded with a smile, praised Luo An, then turned and left slowly.


    Turning around, he saw through the glass that the newcomers in the church were singing and dancing with their relatives and friends, and thinking of the victims already lying in the morgue, the corners of Roan''s mouth slowly turned down.


    "We''ll be together tomorrow night, that''s it! Bye"


    Lacey and a young white woman dressed as a nun hugged each other, chatted for a long time, agreed to go out to play together tomorrow, and then returned to Roan, said calmly:


    "There is only one surveillance camera in the whole church, and it is still in the hall where the newlyweds hold their wedding ceremony. The surveillance scope is only in the hall. We cannot find the white male standing in the corner outside the church that Louise said through the surveillance."


    ��.monitoring put aside in advance��


    After a moment of silence, Roan''s expression was complicated, and his tone was even more complicated:


    "You don''t let the nun go?"


    "What do you think?"


    Lacey glanced at Roan, and wiped off the faint lipstick marks on her face:


    "Hina is a volunteer who came to this church to help, not a nun. She wears a nun''s clothes just to match the scene here."


    Speaking of this, the corners of Lacey''s mouth turned up, her eyes sparkled, and she whispered to herself: "But nuns or something, I haven''t really tried it."


    Roan: "."


    "Roan, I asked a few passers-by who often come here to eat food."


    Before Roan could speak, Ryder, who was fully armed, ignored the surprised eyes of others, walked up to Roan and said solemnly:


    ��One of them, a waste picker, said that he saw two white men yesterday morning, took some food and stood in the corner eating and chatting.


    The image of one of the men is similar to the image of the man in Louise''s mouth. "


    "oh?"


    Looking away from the scum girl, Roan''s eyes lit up after hearing what Ryder said, and immediately said:


    "You immediately take the scavengers and Louis back to the headquarters, and at the same time contact the portrait experts at the headquarters.


    Ask him to draw the white male that the scavenger and Louise described to see if it is the same person. "


    "OK."


    Ryder nodded, turned around and went to make a call. At this moment, Roan''s Nokia suddenly rang.


    "What''s wrong, Mona?"


    Picking up the phone, Roan saw several young Caucasian women dressed as nuns cleaning the hall through the glass, the corners of their mouths raised slightly.


    Don''t talk about Lacey, nun or something, he also.


    "I found an important clue, Roan!"


    Mona''s voice on the other end of the phone was very dignified, and she immediately drew Roan''s attention back:


    "Just five hours after Susan disappeared, a gray car drove out of a small forest area 2.7 miles northwest of Little St. Phil''s Church, and there was a small lake in that forest area."


    "Shit!"


    Roan immediately put aside the messy thoughts in his head, hurriedly dragged Lacey back to the SUV, and rushed towards the forest area with the accelerator pedal.


    Ryder didn''t get in the car because he was taking the scavengers and Lois back to FBI headquarters in New York for mock portraits.


    The pitch-black SUV was speeding through the busy streets like a sharp sword. Lacey, who was sitting in the co-pilot, swallowed and fastened her seat belt silently. Roan continued to ask on the phone:


    "Tell me about the surveillance process, Mona."


    "OK."


    Mona on the other end of the phone didn''t talk nonsense, and said directly:


    "The place where Susan disappeared belongs to the old city, and there is no networked monitoring, so I followed your request and set my sights on the main road outside the old city, where there is complete monitoring.


    The time when Susan disappeared was after 9:30 in the evening, around 9:35. I left the old city from the place where Susan disappeared. I calculated the time when the car arrived at each intersection, and the error was within ten minutes.


    It turned out that there were too many gray cars, and it was impossible to find them. "


    Turning the steering wheel and stepping on the accelerator, the dark SUV easily passed the small Buick in front. Hearing what Mona said, Roan nodded.


    Nine o''clock in the evening is the beginning of the nightlife, and it is normal to have a lot of cars.


    "But it suddenly occurred to me that the murderer would throw the body in the lake after killing someone."


    Speaking of which, Mona on the other end of the phone smiled:


    "Last time when you were looking for the murderer of the kidnapping case, the inertial thinking you mentioned reminded me. I wonder if the murderer this time will also have inertial thinking. After killing someone, he will throw the body into the lake, so I started to investigate nearby lakes.


    Sure enough, five hours after Susan disappeared, the scene of a gray car driving out of a small forest with a lake was clearly photographed by a small house on the edge of a forest area.


    This small house was built by an old white man who often came to this forest area to fish. He was afraid that the fishing things would be stolen, so he installed a network monitoring system outside the small house. "


    After listening to Mona''s narration, Roan showed a strange expression.


    Sure enough, the fisherman can catch anything except fish.


    "correct,"


    The steering wheel turned suddenly, and the pitch-black SUV drew a semicircle on the ground and quickly drove into another road. Lacey''s face changed slightly, and Roan continued to ask:


    "Can you find out who the owner of that gray car is?"


    "Can''t find it."


    Mona on the other end of the phone tapped the keyboard a few times, her face changed:


    "The gray car drove sideways on the surveillance camera, and I couldn''t see the license plate. Moreover, the car disappeared after leaving the forest area, and no trace of it was found on any major traffic roads."


    "OK, thank you, Mona."


    Roan frowned slightly, but didn''t say much. After hanging up the phone, he saw that there were not many cars on the road ahead, so he stepped on the accelerator again, and the speed of the SUV was a little faster.


    Lacey: "."


    Tapan forest area, a forest area that is not too big. There are no large human-inhabited communities nearby, only a small community of dozens of people.


    So, apart from the occasional DYDs who occasionally come to fish in the small lake on the west side of the forest area on weekends, the rest of the time, there are occasional young men and women who taste the forbidden fruit and come here to seek excitement.


    Riwen and Ken are such a pair of young people.

 Chapter 71： New Corpse

    Chapter 71 The New Corpse (please read more! Ask for a monthly pass!)


    "So, don''t just interact outdoors."


    Seeing Ken sitting on the ground with weak legs, but still hugging the weeping Raven tightly, Roan was speechless:


    "Let''s not talk about mosquito bites. There are so many horror movies released by the Federation every year. Don''t you remember any of the stories in them?"


    Ken swallowed, and said in a trembling voice:


    "I thought it was all stories."


    "The inspiration for the stories comes from life, young people."


    Shaking his head, let the two young people get into the SUV to rest, then took out his mobile phone and called the parents of the two young people, telling them to come pick them up quickly.


    "It should be the same person, Roan."


    On the edge of the lake, in a deep pit washed out by the current, a female corpse was buried in the water, lying quietly in it.


    Lacey stood on the edge of the pit and took a brief look, and found that the strangle marks on the neck of the female corpse were clearly visible, there were signs of being bound on the wrists and ankles, some bruises could be seen faintly on the collarbone, and the pants of the corpse were also a little skewed.


    The most important thing is that the ring on the corpse''s hand has disappeared.


    "All right."


    Seeing Susan''s body, Roan was silent for a moment, called Augustus, and briefly described the situation here. Augustus immediately notified the trace inspection department and asked them to send agents here to check the scene as soon as possible.


    Hung up the phone, Roan began to look around, and saw a row of deep footprints among the dead leaves on the ground.


    "It seems that the murderer''s original plan was to throw the victim into the lake behind her back."


    Lacey on the side walked to Roan, looked down at the footprints, looked up at the path some distance away, and then looked at the lake that was still a short distance away, and shrugged:


    "But he couldn''t carry his back halfway, so he threw the victim here."


    "No, it shouldn''t be."


    Looking carefully at the footprints on the ground, Roan frowned. After bending down and squatting down, he simply measured the length of the footprints, and then said:


    "The length of this footprint is definitely more than 25 centimeters, it is not clear whether it is 26 or 27.


    Take the lowest number of 25, and according to the formula of footprint length and height, multiply 25 by 6.8, which is about 170, so the murderer��s height is definitely higher than 170. "


    Lacey from the intelligence department looked dazed, and before she could react, Roan continued:


    "Whether it''s Louise or the scavengers, they say that this white male is of medium build.


    I asked Susan about her weight before, and it was only about 45kg. "


    An adult Caucasian male with a height of over 170 and a medium build, under normal circumstances, cannot carry an adult Caucasian female who is 1.6 meters tall and weighs 90 kg.


    Louis and the scavengers have never said before that they saw the murderer with physical injuries.


    Clapping his hands and straightening up, Roan turned his head and saw the expression on Lacey''s face, and then grinned: "I learned it in the FBI training academy."


    As a killer in the previous life, erasing one''s own footprints, and how to fake footprints to confuse trackers, is a must-learn course, such as some basic knowledge:


    Adolescents have short steps, thin footprints, irregular distances between footprints, and curved walking routes.


    Young people have big steps and big footprints, and the distance between footprints is regular. They walk in a straight line.


    Old people have short steps, steady walking, short footprints, and the pressure on the heel of the footprint is heavier than that of the sole of the foot, etc.


    After learning the basics, the old killer taught Roan a lot of ways to hide his real age through steps, footprints, etc.


    "OK."


    Lacey didn''t ask in detail. She came from the Intelligence Department and knew something about this knowledge, but she was not very proficient, and she didn''t remember it for a while.


    "So, what do you mean?"


    "What I mean is very simple. The original intention of the murderer was indeed to throw the body into the lake. You are not wrong about that."


    Roan pointed to the lake not far away, then pointed to the messy footprints beside the deep pit, frowning slightly:


    "But when he came here, he should have encountered some kind of unexpected event, so he had to throw the body in the deep pit."


    Hearing this, Lacey frowned: "What unexpected event?"


    Roan spread his hands: "I don''t know, it''s just a guess, maybe someone found the car parked by the murderer."


    "All right."


    Lacey nodded, didn''t say much, and began to search the periphery of the scene carefully with Roan.


    In the gully between the deep pit and the lake, on a tree growing obliquely, Roan accidentally found a small transparent packaging bag.


    "What''s this?"


    Seeing Roan carefully pick it up from the leaves, Lacey also came over, tilting her head and asking:


    ��Like a bag for flour.��


    "possible."


    Roan nodded, put it away carefully, and continued to search around the periphery of the scene.


    Soon, several agents from the Trace Inspection Section drove to the scene in a car.


    Luo An briefly exchanged with the other party, and after handing over the transparent packaging bag to the other party, several two detectives from the trace inspection department jumped into the deep pit and began to carefully examine the surroundings of the corpse.


    After a while, the two frightened young lovers were also picked up by their respective parents.


    Seeing the violent reactions of the parents of both parties dancing and dancing, Luo An felt that these two exciting men and women should not be able to sleep tonight.


    After the on-site inspection was completed and the corpse was packed into the car, Agent Nell from the Trace Inspection Section came over to Roan who had met Roan because of the appearance of the female corpse in the refrigerator during the disappearance case.


    "Hello, Neil, thank you for your hard work."


    Roan stretched out his hand, greeted Neil with a smile, and asked with a smile:


    "Well, did you find anything?"


    "It''s all work."


    A smile appeared on Detective Nell''s round face. Hearing Roan''s question, he briefly talked about the situation at the scene, and then said:


    "The victim is suspected to have been raped by the murderer before his death, but it can''t be determined before the autopsy. If the cause of death is high probability, it is a strangle mark on the neck."


    Roan nodded: "OK, please notify me as soon as the autopsy report comes out."


    "no problem."


    Nell agreed to Roan with a smile, and the two parties returned to their respective cars and returned to the FBI New York headquarters building together.


    ��


    The office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Still can''t find any trace of the gray car, Roan."


    Lacey went to inform and comfort the family members of the victim Susan, while Roan unloaded the equipment and sat back on the chair at his station.


    Just as she was about to stretch, Mona on the side stopped typing on the keyboard and leaned over to Roan to vomit her bitterness.


    "There are too few networked monitoring in that area, and it can be checked with one hand. There are too many traffic arteries in the periphery, and the traffic volume is huge. It is impossible to check for suspicious gray cars."


    The gray car drove sideways on the house surveillance outside the forest area. Because of the angle, the license plate of the gray car was not visible in the video, nor was there any difference in the windshield. Naturally, it was impossible to check the other party through the main traffic line. .


    The only certainty is that the gray car has four tires and the doors are intact.


    "Don''t be discouraged, Mona, as long as you keep working hard, you will definitely gain something."


    Poured a bowl of hot chicken soup on Mona''s head, which made her dizzy, and Roan pushed her back to the computer again.


    "you"


    Mona was about to continue to say something, when Ryder suddenly pushed the door of the No. 5 investigation team, and shouted excitedly at Roan:


    "Roan! The portrait simulation you asked me to do, the result has come out, you will never guess who the man who appeared in the church is!"


    Ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month! I also hope that all book lovers will support this book more, don''t keep it anymore, and let this book have a chance to rush to Sanjiang, thank you all!


    Tomorrow is still the third watch!

 Chapter 72： Undercover! (Please follow up! Ask for a monthly pass!)

    Chapter 72 Undercover! (Please follow up! Ask for a monthly pass!)


    "Um?"


    Ryder''s loud voice startled everyone in the No. 5 investigation team. Roan frowned and asked:


    "The priest in the church? Or Susan''s husband, Jono?"


    "No, not them."


    Ryder carried two large drawings, walked to Roan''s desk and tore them apart.


    Roan looked down, and a sketch of a strange but familiar face appeared in front of his eyes.


    "This is."


    Looking at the portrait in front of him, Roan raised his head in silence for a few seconds, staring at Ryder:


    "Agent Mullen from the DEA?"


    "That''s right, it''s him!"


    Ryder nodded. He didn''t know Agent Mullen''s name, but he knew that he was one of the agents who came to Roan that day, and he was also a DEA.


    Hearing Roan''s words, the other agents who approached also remembered that Augustus brought two agents to find Roan that day, and all of them frowned.


    Mona turned around the portrait, looked at the sketches of faces on it, with a dignified expression:


    "The DEA guys are serial killers?"


    Thinking of the way Agent Mullen looked at him that day, Roan admitted that the other party made him feel uncomfortable.


    But to say that the other party is a serial murderer, Luo An always subconsciously feels that something is not right.


    "No, not him."


    Hearing what Mona said, Ryder shook his head, lifted the portrait of Agent Mullen, pulled out another portrait from below, pressed it on the portrait of Agent Mullen, and patted hard:


    "Agent Mullen was one of two people the scavenger saw.


    This man is the one Louise said put Susan in the car, and the man who was standing outside the church in the scavengers. "


    Seeing the second portrait of a man with profound facial features and a mature appearance, with a small cut on the right eyebrow, Roan frowned slightly and didn''t speak yet. William''s pupils shrank suddenly and cursed angrily:


    "Shit! Damn it! It''s him!"


    "Um?"


    Roan tilted his head and looked at William, only to see William quickly returning to his work station, typing with his ten fingers on the keyboard, a moment later, a case report appeared on the computer screen.


    "Roan, when you asked Mona to investigate the criminals in the circle who lived near the Little St. Phil''s Church and were imprisoned for rape, stalking, and obscenity, I checked for Mona for a while and found this failure. case.


    Because the other party was not in prison, and the time happened a year ago, I didn''t record it. "


    Roan cast his eyes on the computer screen, and William explained:


    ��A year and a half ago, this white man named Sean was arrested by the police for **** and murder.


    But the New Jersey police only had the testimony of one witness, and no DNA of Sean was detected on the victim''s body. The crime scene was washed by rain, leaving no traces.


    In addition, there is a witness to protect Sean, emphasizing that Sean was definitely not at the scene of the crime, so Sean was acquitted in the end. "


    "What?"


    Hearing this case, Ryder, Mona and all the detectives were very surprised, but Roan touched his chin in silence for a few seconds and asked:


    "If I''m not mistaken, the witness who testified to Sean is Agent Mullen."


    "Yeah."


    William nodded.


    In the European and American legal systems, it is very common for the police to testify in court during the trial, and in many cases, the testimony of the police can become one of the important evidences in the trial.


    "Agent Mullen gave false testimony?"


    After reading the case report, combined with the serial homicide case that investigation team No. 5 is currently investigating, the idea of ??detective Mullen''s false testimony suddenly flooded the minds of the detectives in investigation team No. 5.


    But. They have no evidence.


    Thinking that Mullen is from the DEA and wanted to pull himself undercover before, Roan suddenly understood what:


    "This Sean is probably Mullen''s undercover agent."


    Slapping his hands hard, Roan attracted everyone''s attention, and said in a deep voice:


    "Everyone, we now have a suspect, and it will always be much easier to deduce clues through the suspect.


    Now please investigate this Sean''s life immediately, and check his connection with the four victims of the serial murder case! Then, find a way to find key evidence! "


    At the critical moment, it''s time for the technicians of the No. 5 investigation team to use their abilities.


    "OK!"


    "no problem!"


    William and other five technicians immediately agreed when they heard Roan''s words, and turned around to check Sean''s life file in the FBI database.


    "Ryder."


    Roan turned his head, cast his eyes on Ryder, and said in a deep voice:


    "You go to the forensic doctor immediately, and you must get the autopsy report as soon as possible."


    As long as Sean''s DNA is found on Susan''s body, their No. 5 investigation team can immediately apply for an arrest warrant.


    "OK."


    Ryder nodded heavily, threw the sketch on Roan''s desk, and turned to leave again.


    Looking at Ryder''s back quickly disappearing, Roan nodded and turned his gaze to Mona. Just as he was about to ask the other party if he could quietly enter the information database of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Mona interrupted him:


    "I have successfully entered the network of the Drug Enforcement Administration."


    Roan: "?"


    There was a crackling keyboard sound, and soon, a pattern with the words [File Download] appeared on Mona''s computer.


    Seeing the fast progress bar on the computer, Luo An cursed the garbage speed of a certain network disk in his previous life from the bottom of his heart.


    At this moment, an exclamation point suddenly appeared on Mona''s computer, Roan''s eyelids moved slightly, and the corner of Mona''s mouth lifted into a disdainful smile, and her fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard to ensure that the speed of downloading files remained unchanged.


    Time passed quickly, and the moment [file download complete] appeared on the computer screen, Mona stood up suddenly, and unplugged the network cable behind the computer''s butt.


    Roan: "."


    This operation is really skillful.


    "OK."


    Sitting back on the chair, Mona heaved a long sigh of relief, pointed at the computer screen and said:


    "Here is Sean''s undercover information in the hands of DEA Agent Mullen."


    Roan''s eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Thank you, Mona!"


    Mona stretched her waist and waved her hands: "It''s not hard, if the people from the Drug Enforcement Administration come to find you, you can do it."


    Roan: "."


    Don''t panic, it''s time for Augustus to use his abilities.


    As I said before, the technicians of the No. 5 investigation team are all old people who have worked in the FBI data room for a long time, and they can find information very quickly.


    Only a few minutes passed, and the information on Sean''s birth to the present was completely checked.


    "Sean Davis, 41 years old this year, social security number is ***, he lives in the Harwood area, the recorded marriage was three and a half years ago, and the place where the marriage was held was the Little St. Phil''s Church."


    William sat on a chair and read with a serious expression:


    "His wife Linna suddenly disappeared on the way home one night in the third month of marriage. After investigation, it was found that she was kidnapped by a local gangster."


    Roan walked to the front of the meeting room, pulled over a whiteboard, and signaled his teammates to continue talking, while he started writing on the whiteboard.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 73： connect

    Chapter 73 Contact


    "Before getting married, eight years ago, when Sean was 33,"


    William pulled up the information in the computer, looked at the screen and read carefully:


    ��Sean was a salesman at a real estate company where our fourth victim, Tamara Terry, was 22 at the time and happened to be an intern at the real estate company.��


    "More than that."


    As soon as William finished speaking, Mona fiddled with her right hand, pointed to the undercover log on the computer screen and said:


    "When Sean was looking for his wife after she went missing, Agent Mullen found him.


    After observing for a period of time, he judged that Sean "has brains, understands current affairs, emphasizes emotions and can speak well", so Maren contacted and told Sean that his wife was taken away by the "White Horse Gang". If he wanted to save his wife, The best way is to cooperate with the DEA, the undercover White Horse Gang.


    Detective Mullen''s judgment was correct. Six months after Sean undercovered the White Horse Gang, he obtained the White Horse Gang''s human trafficking information and the criminal evidence of the White Horse Gang''s criminal leader, and finally wiped out the entire gang in one fell swoop. "


    Hearing what Mona said, everyone looked sideways.


    Roan, who was writing in front of the conference room, paused, then turned around and asked:


    "Where''s Sean''s wife?"


    "died."


    Mona''s complexion is not very good-looking:


    "According to the little leader of the White Horse Gang in charge of ''transporting goods'', Sean''s wife was suffocated to death in the transporting car."


    Roan thought for a long time, and continued to ask:


    "When Sean was undercover in the gang, did he eat flour?"


    "eat."


    Mona pulled down the computer page, carefully checked the undercover log and read:


    "According to Detective Mullen''s records, in the first week of joining the ''White Horse Gang'', Sean was forced to smoke flour.


    After the gang was destroyed, Sean was sent to a drug rehabilitation institution by Mullen, and Sean successfully left there after seven months. "


    Roan nodded, and after writing down the words ''I have experienced smoking flour'' on the whiteboard, he asked again:


    "In the undercover log, is there a record about the ''rape and murder case'' a year and a half ago?"


    After reading it carefully, Mona shook her head and said:


    "No."


    Speaking of this, Mona suddenly looked back at William and asked:


    "William, when did the ''rape-murder case'' happen, and what month?"


    Hearing this, William tapped his ten fingers on the keyboard, raised his head and replied after a few seconds:


    "April 5, a year and a half ago."


    "OK."


    The pen play with the right hand stopped, and Mona pointed to the computer screen with a signature pen, and said to Roan:


    "A year and a half ago, on April 29, in the undercover log under Mullen, Sean had a new undercover record. This time, the undercover gang was the Hyena Gang."


    Roan, who was writing on the whiteboard, cursed secretly when he heard this.


    "Not only that."


    Opening the contact record written by Agent Mullen when she was undercover with Sean, Mona looked carefully for a moment, then said with a frown:


    "When Sean was undercover for the Hyena Gang, Mullen agreed with him to meet once a month at Little St. Phil''s Church.


    At the same time, the two meet each time and marry the first three victims on the same day! "


    "Shit!"


    "Biaozi raised it!"


    Hearing what Mona said, all the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team scolded in unison.


    After writing the last word, Roan turned around, coughed lightly to attract everyone''s attention, pointed at the whiteboard with a serious expression and said:


    "According to the information you have found, we have now summarized the following clues:


    First: Sean''s family lives in the Harwood area, which happens to be in the circle at the center of Little St. Phil''s Church. "


    Second: The place where Sean and his wife held their wedding, and the place where he met Mullen when he undercovered the "Hyena Gang", happened to be Little St. Phil''s Church.


    Third: Sean��s wife disappeared in the third month after marriage, which is consistent with the time when the previous three victims disappeared after marriage.


    At the same time, Sean and Mullen met at the Little St. Phil''s Church at the same time as the marriage of the first three victims, so it is very likely that Sean learned the victim''s personal information when he met Mullen that day. Months later, the victim was kidnapped.


    Fourth: When the fourth victim, Tamara Terry, was married eight years ago, Sean was in the same real estate company as her, so Sean was likely involved in her wedding at that time.


    Fifth: One month after the **** and murder case, Sean entered the gang undercover again, which is very likely the condition that Agent Mullen agreed to give him a false testimony. "


    After listening to Luo An''s words, all the detectives nodded in unison.


    The information is correct, and there is nothing wrong with Roan''s reasoning.


    One is the same by chance, two is the same is luck, three is the same is random, but four or five are all the same.


    Looking at the words on the whiteboard, everyone present has confirmed that Sean is definitely the real culprit in this serial murder case.


    But with these clues alone, Roan and the others can''t arrest people, because it''s all indirect evidence.


    Next, it''s time to look for direct evidence.


    Roan walked to Mona''s station and began to check the undercover information in Mona''s computer.


    "The autopsy report hasn''t come out yet, so we don''t know if there is Sean''s DNA at the scene of the crime."


    Mona got up and left her seat. After looking at the whiteboard at the front of the office area, she tilted her head and asked:


    "I remember there were footprints left by the murderer at the scene of the crime. Can these footprints lock Sean?"


    William took a look at the photos in the crime scene investigation report, his eyes lit up, he tapped his hands on the keyboard, and then slapped:


    "Sean''s credit card usage records show that he bought a pair of shoes three months ago, and the texture of the soles of this pair of shoes is exactly the same as that of the footprints at the scene of the crime!"


    "Good!"


    Mona''s eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she hurriedly turned her gaze to Roan:


    "Let''s apply for a search warrant now! As long as we find the pair of shoes and test the soil on the shoes, we can prove that the other party has been to the scene of the crime!"


    The gray car is also one of the important evidences, but considering that there is no record of Sean buying a gray car, and Sean''s undercover "Hyena Gang" also deals with black cars, Mona thinks that the gray car is likely to be Can''t find it.


    "NO."


    Hearing Mona''s words, Luo An, who was reading the undercover information on the computer, slowly shook his head and said:


    "We need to report this first."


    It''s okay to file for a search warrant, but Sean is an undercover agent for the DEA and is on a mission with the Hyenas at this time.


    It is very simple to directly arrest people or search the other party''s residence, but if the DEA plans to rely on Sean to carry out some operations in the near future, but the task fails because of the arrest of Sean.


    Roan doesn''t care about the DEA group, but the later wrangling issue will definitely require the chief to come forward, so this matter must be told to Augustus first.


    At the same time, the Organized Crime Section of the FBI is also watching the Hyena gang together with the DEA. Roan may not care about the DEA, but he cannot ignore the Organized Crime Section of the FBI.


    ��


    "So, the murderer this time is an undercover agent?"


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Augustus rubbed his temples, remained silent for a moment, puzzled and said:


    "As an undercover agent, daily life is already stressful enough, why do you want to find time to kill people?"


    Augus had never done undercover work, but one of his former colleagues had done it for a while.


    The latter colleague came back alive and did not leave the psychiatrist for a year in a row. Augustus knew that this kind of work was definitely not suitable for him.


    "Maybe it''s because of the stressful life and the nervousness every day, but it can''t be expressed on the face and words."


    Sitting opposite Augustus, Roan took a sip of coffee when he heard this, and expressed his guess:


    "When Sean went undercover for the first time, it was for his wife and he had spiritual support.


    But later, his wife died and he became addicted to drugs while undercover. This kind of nightmare experience made Sean, who was only a real estate salesman, never want to go through this kind of thing again.


    In the case of **** and murder in the alley, Sean asked Maren for help, and the other party agreed to help Sean make false testimony, but the condition was that Sean should be an undercover agent again, so... "


    "So this time, Sean was an undercover agent so that he would not go to jail this time, and he didn''t have any spiritual support."


    Thinking of the group of DEA, sometimes in order to complete the task, not only will they not take care of the emotions of the undercover agent, but sometimes force the other party to do some tasks, Augustus couldn''t help curling his lips.


    Roan nodded: "I just looked at Agent Mullen''s records, and the morning when the four missing persons lost contact was when Agent Mullen was in contact with Sean.


    So it should be when the two sides had a meeting in the morning. Agent Mullen said something that made Sean uncomfortable, coupled with the excessive psychological pressure, so in order to vent, Sean finally chose to kidnap a person he remembered three months ago. Women getting married at Little St. Phil''s Church. "


    Without hesitation, Augustus immediately took out his phone after hearing Roan''s conjecture:


    "I''m going to contact the Organized Crime Unit."

 Chapter 74： bomb! (Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a follow-up!)

    Chapter 74 Bomb! (Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a follow-up!)


    "Sean, we don''t know his undercover identity."


    Dillon, a team leader of the Organized Crime Investigation Section on the other end of the phone, heard Augustus'' inquiry, and immediately asked his subordinates to check the information on the characters of the Hyena Gang, and then replied:


    "We show here that Sean is one of the key henchmen of the Hyena Gang leader. The DEA people never told us that he was an undercover agent."


    Dillon didn''t care about this. Their group also had undercover agents in the Hyena Gang, and they didn''t tell the DEA about the identities of these undercover agents.


    According to the rules, only those who are responsible for him in the department know his existence.


    Before specific operations are carried out later, they will inform the joint operations department of the identity of the undercover agent to prevent the undercover agent from being killed by mistake.


    Hearing Augustus mention Sean''s undercover identity, Dillon was a little puzzled, and asked with a smile:


    "How did you know Sean''s identity? You hacked into the DEA''s internal network?"


    Augus glared at Roan, who sat obediently on the chair with an innocent face.


    "of course not!"


    insisted that there was no such thing, Augustus asked seriously:


    "This Sean is related to a vicious criminal case we are investigating, and he has a high probability of being the murderer of the case."


    Dillon on the other end of the phone understood what Augustus meant. He was saying hello to himself before taking action, and wanted to ask if the action against Sean would interfere with them.


    "So, Augustus, don''t search Sean''s residence today, so as not to disturb the Hyena Gang."


    Seeing Agent Norton knocking on the door and handing over the documents after entering the office, Dillon��s pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately said to Augustus in a deep voice:


    "Our Organized Crime Investigation Section and the DEA will jointly launch a major operation against the Hyena Gang tomorrow. Your investigation team can send people to wait outside tomorrow. After the operation is completed, Sean can be handed over to you for interrogation."


    Whether the DEA people would agree to this matter was selectively ignored by Dillon and Augustus.


    "OK."


    Augus nodded, smiled and agreed, and made an appointment with Dillon to drink after get off work.


    The phone hung up, and Augustus told Roan about the joint operation with other departments tomorrow. Roan frowned slightly, remained silent for a few seconds, and said nothing, nodded, turned and left the team leader''s office.


    After telling the news to the agents of the No. 5 investigation team, many people relaxed.


    The serial murder case has been more than half completed here, and we just need to prepare the key evidence and wait for Sean to take over tomorrow.


    After Luo An sat back at his work station, his expression was a little grim.


    Because they don''t have any direct evidence now, Roan asked Augustus to report this incident just now, mainly to tell those who monitor the Hyena Gang that he is going to search Sean''s house and find that Sean went to the edge of the lake last night key evidence.


    But now things have developed into arresting Sean tomorrow, and then searching Sean''s house later.


    Mona beside ?? also thought of this, she frowned and looked at Roan, and asked in a low voice:


    "The longer the time drags on, the higher the possibility of Sean disposing of those shoes, and the lower our success rate of convicting Sean later, this"


    "Don''t panic."


    Roan comforted in a calm voice:


    "The autopsy report hasn''t come out yet, and Sean''s DNA may be found there. And tomorrow, after the Hyena Gang is dealt with by the DEA and organized crime, we have a high probability of finding the gray car that Sean drove that night."


    "OK."


    Seeing that Roan looked confident, Mona also calmed down.


    Then


    Ryder brought back bad news.


    "Sorry, Roan."


    Ryder pushed open the door of the No. 5 investigation team, walked to Roan''s station with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice:


    "The autopsy report of the forensic doctor has not yet come out, but I asked the other party, they did not find white genetic material in the victim''s body, only found some simethicone.


    The victim''s fingernails contained no material related to the killer other than dirt. "


    Simethicone is the main component of the oil on the outside of some condoms.


    "What about fingerprints?"


    Beside Mona frowned slightly, looking at Ryder.


    "Not found either."


    Ryder shook his head, and the Trace Inspection Section carefully checked the clothes on the victim''s body. Except for some substances in the trunk of the car, no fingerprints and hairs of the murderer were found.


    Skin debris, etc. may be found in the deep pit where the body was found. The blisters disappeared.


    "Shit!"


    Hearing what Ryder said, Mona cursed secretly, then turned to look at Roan.


    Roan rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked:


    "Where is the transparent packaging bag I handed over to the trace inspection department?"


    "what?"


    Ryder looked stunned. He was not at the scene of the crime and didn''t know what Roan was talking about.


    Seeing the expression on Ryder''s face, Roan also thought of this, so he hurriedly sent Ryder back to the trace inspection department to let them check the transparent packaging bag.


    Ryder nodded and turned to leave again. Mona looked a little anxious, and Roan waved his hand calmly:


    "Don''t panic, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally sink when it reaches the bridge. There will always be a way to solve the difficulties."


    "what did you say?"


    Mona was at a loss. The native American couldn''t understand the English that Roan had randomly translated.


    "Not important."


    Without explaining, Roan stood up, clapped his palms to attract the attention of the agents, briefly explained what Ryder said just now, and said with a serious expression:


    "Everyone, the current situation is like this, we must find more evidence that Sean went to the scene of the crime last night!


    Now, please take action to find out all the things Sean has done in the past month, try to find more useful clues, and finally come up with key evidence to crucify Sean! "


    "OK!"


    "no problem!"


    William and other five technicians agreed loudly, and the sound of crackling keyboards began to ring in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    Mona also sat on the workstation and danced her fingers, checking the surveillance video from last night again.


    "There is a strange situation, Roan."


    A few minutes later, William called Roan over, pointed to the data on the computer screen and said:


    "According to Sean''s credit card spending records, he bought ten old Rapid brand 2003 mobile phones in a mobile phone store a week ago."


    "Um?"


    Roan was taken aback when he heard this, and looked down to see William calling out the 2003 Rapid brand mobile phone, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he cursed:


    "Fu-k! Sean is going to make a remote bomb!"


    "What did you say?"


    "Bomb? What bomb?"


    Hearing the word bomb, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team raised their heads instantly. The collapse of the building was just four years ago, and they haven''t forgotten it yet.


    Seeing the pictures on the computer, Mona suddenly remembered something, covered her mouth and said in shock:


    ��Last year, a synagogue exploded in the suburbs of New York, and the murderer used a 2003 Rapid brand mobile phone!��


    "Exactly."


    Luo An nodded. In his previous life, the old killer saw the news on the news, so he remembered to teach himself how to make remote-controlled bombs.


    "The phone''s battery doesn''t have a good temperature sensor, and it''s not a failsafe."


    Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Roan signaled William to enlarge the mobile phone on the computer screen, then pointed to it and explained to everyone:


    "Make a simple modification to it, and then as long as someone calls this phone for more than 13 seconds, it will immediately detonate the phone.


    Of course, the power of a single mobile phone explosion is not great, but just connect some grenades or other explosives around the mobile phone, and then make a call at a critical moment.��


    "Shit!"


    "Jesus!"


    After listening to Luo An''s explanation, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team saw that Sean had bought ten mobile phones, and their expressions suddenly changed.

    Chapter 75 Thank you (Please follow up! Please ask for a monthly pass!)


    "But why is Sean making bombs?"


    After listening to Roan''s description, Mona asked with some doubts:


    "Isn''t he an undercover agent?"


    "who knows?"


    Roan shook his head, turned to look at Mona, and asked solemnly:


    "I remember that in Agent Mullen''s undercover record this month, this incident was not written."


    Mona ran back to her seat, carefully checked the files in the computer, and then nodded:


    "Yeah."


    After hearing the affirmative answer, Roan walked into the team leader''s office without hesitation.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Augustus, who was lowering his head to write documents, looked puzzled at Roan who entered his office without knocking.


    But after listening to Roan''s guess, Augustus'' face suddenly became serious:


    "Are you sure Sean bought those phones to make bombs?"


    "No, I''m not sure."


    Roan��s words made August��s face full of black lines, but then Roan continued:


    "But this kind of thing would rather believe that it is true than that it is false.


    I remember you telling me just now that the FBI''s Organized Crime Unit will be working with the DEA on the Hyena gang tomorrow, and if their source of information is Sean, then"


    "The loss of the Organized Crime Section may be huge."


    Augus nodded. Dillon from the Organized Crime Division was also at the Columbus Foundation. He stopped talking nonsense and immediately took out his phone to call Dillon.


    "Is there such a thing?"


    After listening to Augustus''s description, Dillon, who was sitting in the meeting room and discussing tomorrow''s action plan with the team members, felt as if his **** was on fire and couldn''t sit still.


    After a few seconds of silence, Dillon signaled Augustus to hang up the phone for a few minutes, then pressed another number and called the person in charge of DEA''s tomorrow''s operation.


    In the office of the leader of the No. 5 investigation team, Roan and Augustus looked at each other in silence for a moment, and they both picked up the coffee.


    After a long time, August''s phone rang again.


    "Thank you very much, Augustus."


    Dillon on the other end of the phone had obviously just finished arguing with someone, and his tone was still a little out of control:


    "The DEA did not formulate this joint operation based on the information sent by Sean, but they also don''t know about Sean''s purchase of mobile phones"


    Briefly described the general situation of the matter, Dillon''s tone was very serious:


    "Augus, I owe you a favor this time."


    If Augustus hadn��t told himself the news, the FBI would be caught off guard when the joint operation with the DEA was launched tomorrow. How many agents might die, and Dillon��s career would be over afterwards.


    "Just buy me a drink later."


    Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Augustus laughed, then glanced at Roan, and said with a smile:


    "But this time the news was discovered by my subordinate, the detective named Roan Greenwood. He is one of his own. I will bring him when we drink together in the future. Don''t be angry."


    "Is it the Roanne Greenwood who killed the serial murderer with a pen and appeared in the New York Daily a few days ago?"


    Hearing what Augustus said, Dillon''s eyes lit up, and he waved his big hand to indicate that drinking and so on are trivial matters, and then said that his investigation team is a little short of people recently, and wonders if he can send Roan to help them for a few days.


    "Call back later."


    Augus laughed, ignored Dillon''s words, and immediately hung up the phone.


    "Old drunkard."


    Hearing the busy signal on the phone, Dillon grinned, walked out of his office, and shouted to his agents:


    "Thanks to the group of unreliable DEA, we are now re-making tomorrow''s action plan!"


    "Yes, sir!"


    ��


    In the distance, in a certain office of the DEA New York branch, Melton, the leader of a certain operation team, grabbed the documents on the table and threw them at Agent Mullen.


    "FU-KYOU! Mullen!"


    Melton''s eyes were filled with anger, pointing at Mullen and yelling:


    "How did your undercover agents do it?"


    What made Melton angry was not the fact that Mullen''s undercover agents might defect. In the DEA, the number of undercover agents who die, defect, or disappear every year is not small, and Melton has long been used to it.


    What really made Melton angry was that this matter was not told to him by his subordinates, nor was it told to him by other DEA colleagues.


    Instead, the group of FBIs called him and asked if there was such a thing?


    Their FBI agents are more valuable. They cannot be like the DEA, where agents die casually due to misinformation


    Shame and lose face to other departments!


    "Sorry, sir."


    Seeing the anger on Melton''s face, he knew the other party''s temper well, so he didn''t make much excuses, but explained in a deep voice:


    "I will re-evaluate the undercover undercover later"


    "Go to the psychological evaluation of his son!"


    Hearing this, Melton glared at Mullen again.


    According to common sense, if a person wants to join the FBI, CIA, NSA and other departments as a new employee, he needs to undergo a series of tasks such as background investigation, career assessment, lie detection, psychological assessment, etc. If one fails, he will not be hired .


    But DEA is different.


    Even if you are broke, financially struggling, have a disqualified family background, failed a lie test, and even have gang connections, you can be a new DEA employee.


    The reason is simple, such people are usually sent abroad by the DEA, such as those countries south of the Federation as undercover agents.


    A person with a clean background and no black material will not be able to break into the circles that sell flour in those countries in the southern part of the Federation.


    In this case, the DEA will not pay too much attention to the above-mentioned reviews when it chooses undercover agents in China.


    The so-called psychological evaluation, most of the time is that DEA agents and undercover agents stand together, smoke a cigarette, and chat.


    Taking a deep breath, Melton sat back on his chair, fixed his eyes on Mullen and asked:


    "Have you told your undercover agent about the operation tomorrow?"


    "No, but"


    Hearing this, Mullen immediately shook his head and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he denied it:


    "Sean didn''t know about it."


    "very good."


    Melton heaved a sigh of relief, and while arranging the documents on the table, he said in a concentrated voice:


    "Re-formulate tomorrow''s action plan, adding the uncertain factor that the Hyena Gang may have a remote-controlled bomb to it, and our DEA agents can''t die from a misinformation!"


    "Okay, sir."


    Mullen nodded, turned and left the office.


    Close the door of the office, Mullen''s face darkened immediately, and he whispered to himself through gritted teeth:


    "Damn Sean, and the FBI bunch."


    ��


    "Nice job, Roan."


    Hanging up the phone, Augustus grinned.


    "I''m not alone, sir."


    Roan shook his head, and said with a serious expression: "William discovered Sean''s purchase of the mobile phone, and the file was investigated by Mona. I just judged that the other party has the possibility of making a bomb."


    "Good!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Augustus smiled even more.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 76： Fentanyl (seek to read! Ask for a monthly pass!)

    Chapter 76 Fentanyl (please read more! Ask for a monthly pass!)


    Walking out of the team leader''s office, Roan said that Augustus had notified the Organized Crime Investigation Division about the bomb. All the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team breathed a sigh of relief.


    Everyone is the FBI. Although they are not very familiar with it, they don''t want to see their own people injured or killed.


    Just as everyone returned to their seats and was about to look for Sean��s behavior track for nearly a month again, Ryder suddenly pushed open the door of the No. 5 investigation team and walked in, shouting loudly with a smile on his face:


    "Good news, everyone! The transparent packaging bag that Roan found at the scene of the crime has half a fingerprint on it! According to the comparison, it is exactly the same as Sean!"


    When he first undercovered the ''White Horse Gang'', Mullen arranged for Sean to go to prison for a minor crime, so the police had Sean''s fingerprints.


    "Very good!"


    "Good job!"


    Hearing Ryder''s words, all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team applauded with smiles on their faces.


    With the key evidence, the next thing to do is to wait for the joint operation between the Organized Investigation Section and the DEA to end tomorrow, and hand Sean over to Investigation Team No. 5, and then send him to prison.


    ��Zhouhu Serial Murder Case��80% of the work has been completed here. After all the detectives were overjoyed, they all returned to their seats and started.


    Fishing.


    "Thank you, Ryder."


    Ryder sat back at his desk, Roan poured him a cup of coffee, then asked with a smile:


    "By the way, those people in the trace inspection department, did they detect what was in the transparent packaging bag before?"


    "No hard work, just take the elevator back and forth."


    Ryder, who hadn��t had time to drink the water, shook his head, raised his head and drank all the coffee in the cup, his face twisted so bitterly, but he still replied:


    "Not rock candy, not conch, but fentanyl."


    Fentanyl is a narcotic analgesic, but its effect is 80-100 times that of morphine and 50 times that of sea snails. It is extremely toxic, but its price is several times cheaper than that of sea snails.


    So after 2000, many gang members will mix fentanyl in the conch in proportion, so that the addiction effect is better, but the cost is much cheaper.


    It��s not a day or two for Americans to eat flour. It��s normal for doctors to prescribe painkillers when they��re in doubt. Hearing that this time the package contained fentanyl, Roan didn��t say much, shook his head and sat back to himself. chair.


    "By the way, Roan."


    As soon as she sat back on the chair, Mona on the side handed Roan a folder, tilted her head and said:


    "This is the document that the former group supervisor Verenice asked me to hand over to you. I''m sorry, I''ve been busy today, so I forgot about it."


    "It doesn''t matter."


    Reaching out to take the file, Roan opened the folder and suddenly realized that it was the bank robbery that Brosen had not solved as mentioned before.


    In New York, a place with simple folk customs, there are bank robberies every month. Citizens and bank staff are used to it. When robbers come, they will lie on the ground. Most robbers only steal money and don��t kill people.


    NYPD is also used to it. When they learned that the bank was robbed, they evacuated the crowd and contacted the FBI.


    The FBI is more used to it. After hearing the news, they drove to the scene of the crime. Once the robber escaped, he checked the surveillance video and searched for the escape route of the robber.


    If the robber does not escape and is blocked in the bank, then negotiate with the robber not to kill the hostage while trying to catch or kill the other party.


    According to data, from the beginning of last month to last week of this month, several banks in New York City''s Queens, Bronx, and Brooklyn districts suffered a total of 6 robberies.


    According to part of the bank''s surveillance video, the bank staff at the scene of the robbery and the New York citizens who came to the bank to do business said,


    There were two robbers, both wearing black clothes, black trousers, black hoods and black gloves.


    As soon as one of the robbers entered the bank, he shot upwards, while holding a mobile phone in his other hand, and there was a recording of TV programs such as "Don''t Move", and then he walked in front of the bank''s camera and shot it in black. Spray paint smears off bank cameras.


    Another robber threw a black bag to the bank clerk after entering the bank, and in the other hand was holding a transparent document bag with words cut from newspapers inside.


    The content of the text is the relevant identity information of the bank staff, and the identity information of her family members. At the same time, a pre-recorded recording came from the mobile phone:


    "Pack the money immediately. If you don''t do what I say, if you dare to press the alarm, or dare to put a locator, or dyeing agent, dye bag, etc. in the bag, someone will kill you later, or someone who will kill you family."


    Seeing his own identity information and that of his family members, the bank staff was terrified, so they had to obediently pretend to be money, not daring to do petty tricks at all.


    Two and a half minutes passed, and the robbery ended.


    Regardless of whether the bag was full or not, the two of them took it and ran straight away, not forgetting to take the transparent folder before leaving.


    Because the bank staff dared not press the alarm, the NYPD only knew about the robberies after the robbers escaped. When the FBI arrived at the bank, the two robbers had already disappeared.


    During the whole process, not without bank security trying to stop the other party.


    But the robber who held his mobile phone and sprayed black paint at the camera would take a hostage every time, and the phone recording threatened the security:


    "You shoot, I shoot too."


    The security guard had no choice but to listen to the voice recorded by the mobile phone, hand over the gun, and lie on the ground by himself.


    Roan: "."


    After watching the entire case, Luo An scratched his head, puzzled.


    Is the current bank robbery business already so involved?


    "Isn''t this the case that the team director Brosen is in charge of recently?"


    Mona on the side saw Roan scratching his head, turned around and took a look, and asked doubtfully:


    "What, you want to intervene?"


    This bank robbery case has become a hot topic recently. Everyone in the thirteen investigation teams knows that the sponsor of the case is Brosen, the team leader of the No. 14 investigation team.


    Of course, they only know the basic information, they don''t know the progress of the investigation of the case, and they don''t know that Brosen was forced to set a time to solve the case at the meeting.


    "No, I''m just looking."


    Hearing what Mona said, Roan shook his head, then changed the subject, turned his head and asked with a smile:


    "By the way, do you have time tonight?"


    Mona was stunned for a moment, and a look of warning appeared in her eyes: "What are you doing?"


    Roan grinned, and the fly rubbed his hands: "I think."


    ��


    Brooklyn, deep in a certain street.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A burst of gunfire rang out, and Brosen and Matthews led several agents from the No. 14 investigation team, and successfully knocked down two black men who shot at them.


    The two black men collapsed on the ground and did not move. Brosen and Matthews carefully went up to check with pistols. Seeing that the other party had lost too much blood and passed out, they glanced casually. Brosen put away the pistol and said:


    "call the ambulance."


    "Okay, sir."


    The agents of the No. 14 investigation team began to clean up the scene and call an ambulance. Just as Brosen was about to take Matthews aside to discuss the direction of the next investigation, Matthews'' cell phone rang suddenly.


    "Hello?"


    Matthews picked up the phone casually. After a few seconds, there was a look of astonishment in his eyes. Then he gritted his molars tightly and said in a deep voice:


    "Okay, thanks for the message."


    Seeing the expression on Matthews'' face, Brosen, who was finishing the pistol, frowned slightly: "What happened?"


    Hung up the phone, Matthews took a deep breath, his voice a little hoarse: "Sir, my colleagues in the trace inspection department told me that the No. 5 investigation team has found the murderer of the serial murder case."


    Hearing this, Brosen''s face darkened instantly, then he raised his pistol, aimed at the garbage in the garbage bin beside him, and pulled the trigger.


    bang bang bang bang��


    A few seconds later, after venting, Brosen put away the pistol, took a deep breath, his face slowly recovered, turned around and walked in another direction.


    Matthews on the side hurriedly followed: "Sir, what shall we do next?"


    Bruosen''s voice was indifferent, but his words were concise: "Solve the case! Arrest people!"

    The next day, at 5 o''clock in the morning, before the sun rose, Roan walked out of Mona''s small apartment with a yawn, and drove a Chevrolet to one of today''s joint operations:


    A certain villa of the leader of the Hyena Gang.


    Yesterday, the system rated Luo An as [good], and [Physical Potion x2, Strength Potion x1] was opened in the treasure chest. At this time, in the backpack grid of Luo An''s system, there were [Physical Potion x7, Fire Resistance Potion x1, and Night Vision Potion] x2, Scuba Potion x1, Strength Potion x3, Swift Potion x1, Antidote Potion x1, Weakness Potion x1, Sleep Potion x1].


    "Good morning, Roan."


    Chevrolet arrived at the operation preparation area far away from the villa. Ryder walked over with a bag of breakfast and said with a smile:


    "I thought you''d come after the operation."


    "That was the plan, but Augustus kept calling me and I had to come early."


    Roan took the breakfast and said thank you. After taking a big bite, he and Ryder stood next to the Chevrolet, quietly watching the group of operatives preparing their equipment in the distance.


    "I do not quite understand."


    Ryder swallowed his breakfast in two or three bites, wiped his hands, pointed to the people not far away and asked:


    "This time is a joint operation between the Organized Crime Investigation Section and the DEA. There are so many people, why should we participate?"


    "Not for us to participate in the operation, just for us to follow behind them and shoot twice casually, just for show."


    Abyss swallowed the breakfast with a huge mouth, Roan waved his hand, motioned for Ryder to come closer, and then whispered in his ear:


    "Augus was chatting with Dillon after get off work yesterday, and learned that the drugs and raw materials recently accumulated by the Hyena Gang were probably worth nearly tens of millions of dollars according to the undercover agent.


    Of course, the Organized Crime Division and the DEA have been watching the Hyena Gang for so long, we will definitely not be able to pick a big peach if we intervene temporarily, and we can''t pick it.


    But we told them about the bomb yesterday after all, and Sean''s presence gave us reason to intervene.


    So what Augustus means is very simple, the big head can��t be eaten, and the small head can��t be put. As long as the two of us participate in the action, Augustus has a reason to ask for a share of the spoils later. "


    They definitely won''t get much money, but to solve such a big case, the political gains are far more important than money.


    As long as the No. 5 investigation team is mentioned in the news later, Augustus will not lose money.


    Augus is not at a loss, and Roan is certainly not at a loss either.


    "All right."


    Ryder nodded silently, seeing that the time was almost up, he took Roan and began to organize the equipment together.


    This time, the duo��s weapons are no longer limited to the pistol Glock 18, but also the assault rifle m4a1.


    In addition to the most basic combat uniforms, plate armor vests, tactical helmets, shock bombs, smoke bombs, etc., tear gas bombs and grenades are also added.


    Roan took less grenades, but took the same amount of tear gas bombs as stun bombs.


    ��.��


    Detective Norton of the Organized Crime Investigation Section was speechless when he saw Roan and Ryder in full armor.


    They are just agents and will not be at the forefront. It is the task of SWAT to attack the tough ones.


    Before departure today, Dillon told Norton that Roan was the source of the news of the bomb yesterday, and that they would also participate in the operation today, so Norton had a good attitude today, and walked over with a few people smiling:


    "Good morning, Agent Luo An, I didn''t expect that we would have the opportunity to cooperate so soon."


    "Just call me Roan."


    Roan stretched out his hand and shook hands with each other, also grinning:


    "You have the final say on today''s actions. Ryder and I are just here to cooperate."


    The meaning in the words is very simple, we don''t intend to take your credit.


    Hearing Roan''s words, the eyes of Norton and his teammates behind him lit up, feeling that Roan''s handsome face suddenly became a little more handsome.


    Within a few minutes, Roan, Norton and his teammates became good brothers of the half-brother investigation team.


    Ryder: "."


    Time passed quickly, and the pointer on the clock soon reached six o''clock in the morning set by the joint operation.


    In the joint command center in the distance, watching the time reach six o''clock, Dillon from the Organized Crime Investigation Section and Melton from the DEA exchanged glances, and said into the microphone together:


    "start to act!"


    As soon as the voice fell, all the agents who had been waiting for a long time rushed out of the villa of the leader of the Hyena Gang, a certain large bar, a certain factory, and a certain dock.


    Because there may be remote-controlled bombs in the hands of the Hyena Gang, before this group of people acted, each team opened the signal jammer.


    At the villa, the special SWAT car smashed the accelerator and rushed into the courtyard. A group of SWAT jumped out of the car in a tactical posture. And Ryder also rushed in.


    boom!


    "FBI!"


    Break the door and smash the villa gate with a hammer. Several SWAT players rushed into the villa in a tactical posture, and the rest followed closely, and began to search the rooms one by one.


    boom! boom! boom!


    As the fierce gunshots rang out, the Hyena Gang members who had a party all night last night woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and they took up the weapons in their hands and prepared to fight back.


    It��s okay not to shoot, the SWAT people will only order them to throw away their weapons, put on their pants and lie down on the spot.


    Once a shot was fired, except for the high-ranking gang members who had been explained in advance, everyone else was shot in the head.


    "Upstairs! Upstairs!"


    "And the basement!"


    "Speed! Speed!"


    Two SWAT members quickly rushed up to the second floor with rifles in hand, followed by Agent Norton and Roan.


    The moment one of the SWAT team members pushed open the door of a room, the door diagonally opposite suddenly opened. Agent Norton saw the muzzle pointing at his forehead in the door, and his pupils shrank suddenly.


    boom!


    Roan shot him dead, nodded to Norton, and continued to rush to another room without any nonsense.


    Kicking open the door, Roan found that the master bedroom on the second floor was empty and there was no one there, so he frowned.


    Norton and a SWAT agent also rushed into the bedroom at this time, and were taken aback when they saw the empty room.


    Then Norton confessed that he suddenly remembered something, walked quickly to the bedside in the bedroom, pulled the mural away, and a door with the same color as the wall appeared in front of the three of them:


    "It''s an elevator!"


    Norton walked out of the room quickly and explained at the same time:


    "The undercover told me about this, the elevator goes straight to the basement!"


    "OK."


    Luo An nodded, without asking further questions, the three of them immediately walked out of the room.


    As soon as they reached the stairs, there was a sudden fierce firefight from the basement. The expressions of the three of them changed immediately, and they went downstairs a little faster.


    Especially Roan, he knew that Ryder was going to the basement just now, and in a hurry, he leaned on the handrail of the stairs with both hands, jumped up, kicked his feet on the walls on both sides of the stairs, and moved left and right. Fly down the stairs at a fast speed.


    Norton: "???"


    Two SWAT players: "!!"


    Boom!


    Jumping to the corner of the basement, an empty elevator appeared in front of Roan, two SWAT team members were exchanging fire with the room at the end of the basement, and Ryder, who was fully armed, collapsed to the ground.


    Roan grabbed Ryder''s feet, pulled him to his position, turned over, and saw that Ryder''s body was not injured, but there were a few wisps of white substance on his face.


    "Fu-k!"

    Chapter 79 Villa Basement (please subscribe!)


    Ryder had no wounds on his body, suggesting that the cause of his coma was the white flour on his face.


    Opening Ryder''s eyes, he found that his face was purple, his breathing was difficult, and his pupils on both sides were obviously narrowed and looked like pinpoints. Luo An suddenly frowned.


    With just this bit of flour on Ryder''s face, it is impossible for the rock sugar and conch to make him unconscious. The only thing that can cause a coma so quickly is the fentanyl mentioned in the previous chat between the two.


    Fentanyl is 80 times more toxic than sea snails. If no measures are taken and Ryder is sent to the hospital after the operation is over, it will be too late.


    "Shit."


    Without hesitation, Roan immediately took out the bottle of [antidote] from the system page.


    At the same time, in order to prevent himself from being poisoned, Roan did not choose to touch the wisps of white substance on Ryder''s face with his hands, but forced Ryder''s mouth open with the muzzle of a gun before pouring the medicine.


    "Take Ryder out of the villa immediately! Call an ambulance!"


    At this moment, Agent Norton and the two SWAT team members ran down the stairs. Roan turned decisively and handed Ryder to them, while saying with a serious expression:


    "Ryder is opioid poisoned, you must tell the news to the nurse in the ambulance!"


    "OK!"


    The two SWAT team members did not hesitate when they heard this, and immediately set up Ryder one by one on the left and one on the right, turned around and ran back to the stairs, and rushed out of the villa.


    "Sorry, Roan."


    Looking at the backs of the three leaving, Norton shifted his tactical posture in front of Roan with a serious expression. Just as he was about to continue to say something, Roan waved his hand and interrupted him. He pointed to the room at the end of the basement and said:


    "Catch the enemy first!"


    "OK!"


    Hearing this, Norton didn''t talk nonsense, and decisively shifted to the position of the two SWAT players who were aiming at a room with a gun in the depths of the corridor.


    Roan paused slightly, took out [Strength Potion] and [Swift Potion] from the system, raised his head and drank them, and then followed Agent Norton to the SWAT team''s room.


    "What''s the situation now?"


    Hearing the question from Agent Norton, the two SWAT team members pointed to the diagonally opposite room with a closed door and said:


    "There are three enemies in the room, they are the boss of the Hyena Gang and his two henchmen."


    Three enemies were trapped in the diagonally opposite room, but they all had rifles in their hands, and the two sides had just finished exchanging fire.


    Rash open the door of the opponent''s room and break in directly. There is a high probability that SWAT members will be attacked by rifles.


    The ordinary shields in the hands of the two team members could not block the attack of the rifles, and the flash bombs were used up before, so they did not act rashly, but notified the teammates outside the villa to send the thickened bulletproof shields here, ready to wait Attack when the shield comes.


    Speaking of this, the two SWAT players also asked about Ryder''s current state and expressed apologies to Roan.


    Just now, Ryder was attacked by a man with a broken eyebrow on the right side to protect them.


    "No, have you ever thought about a question?"


    Hearing that the SWAT team members said that there was a man with a broken eyebrow on the right side in the room, Roan raised his eyebrows, but instead of continuing the topic, he asked with a serious expression:


    "Why did these three people choose to run to this room after being attacked by us?"


    Norton reacted the fastest, and turned to look at Roan with a solemn face:


    "You mean, there is a way to escape from the villa in this room? There is a secret passage?"


    Roan nodded: "The possibility is very high."


    "Fu-k!"


    Agent Norton cursed in a low voice, his expression became anxious.


    His undercover only knew that there was an elevator in the villa, but he didn''t know whether there was a secret passage in the villa.


    Norton was just about to ask the two SWAT team members how long it would take for the thickened bulletproof shield to be delivered. At this time, it was almost ten seconds before the enemy closed the door and hid in the room.


    At this moment, a gap suddenly opened in the room diagonally opposite them.


    Two cylindrical smoke bombs fell to the ground, and thick smoke suddenly exploded in the corridor.


    Hoo��


    "Shit!"


    "Biaozi raised it!"


    Seeing the smoke bomb falling to the ground in front of his eyes, Norton and the two SWAT team members cursed in a low voice.


    But before the sound of the three people swearing could be heard in the room, Roan moved much faster than usual. With a movement of his eyelids, he decisively took out a shock bomb from his pocket, and threw it along the opposite door that hadn''t had time to be completely closed. go in.


    Boom!


    "ah-"


    The moment the shock bomb exploded, there was a scream from the room diagonally opposite.


    Without waiting for Norton and the two SWAT players to make any moves, Roan''s figure rushed out from their side in an instant, kicked open the door opposite, and threw in two shock bombs without saying a word.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    At this time, Agent Norton and the two SWAT team members finally reacted, and hurriedly raised their guns and rushed towards the diagonally opposite room.


    When the three of them entered the room, they saw a huge wooden box on the ground in the corner of the room, which was full of weapons. On the ground behind the wooden box, there was a half-open metal door.


    The impact of the shock bomb exploding in the closed room was horrific. The gang leader, Sean, and another confidant had all fainted to the ground at this time.


    Just now when he opened the door and threw smoke bombs, the thin confidant who was lying at the door even had a trace of blood flowing from his ears.


    Agent Norton and the two SWAT agents holding guns saw this scene, they all gasped in place, and then turned their heads to look at Roan, their eyes full of shock:


    "Shit!"


    "Gift Crab!"


    "Roan, why are you moving so fast?"


    "Don''t talk about this yet."


    Waving his hand to disperse the smoke around him, Roan didn''t talk nonsense, and quickly turned around and strode out of the basement, leaving only a handsome back for the three of them:


    "The smoke is getting bigger and bigger, get out of here quickly."


    ��


    Outside the villa, Ryder had been taken away by the ambulance. Roan returned to his Chevrolet and began to disassemble the equipment on his body.


    "Mission accomplished, sir."


    Out of the villa, Agent Norton looked at Roan with complicated eyes, but he still contacted the officer and reported:


    "The leader of the Hyena Gang and his subordinates have all been arrested. Some gang members tried to resist and were killed on the spot."


    "What about our casualties?"


    Dillon on the other end of the phone spoke in a hurry, and said in a deep voice:


    ��When the DEA raided the Hyena gang��s ��pharmacy factory��, there was a fierce battle, and many people were injured and died there.


    For example, Agent Mullen was hit in the chest by a bullet and has now been sent to the hospital. "


    The Organized Crime Investigation Section and the DEA are responsible for different locations because of their respective responsibilities.


    Villas, bars and other places where members of the Hyena Gang are located belong to the Organized Crime Investigation Section.


    The factories, warehouses and other places used by the Hyena Gang to make, transport and store flour belong to the DEA.


    "We only have Agent Ryder of the No. 5 investigation team here, who was accidentally poisoned and fell into a coma while protecting the SWAT team."


    After briefly describing what happened just now, Norton suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked:


    "Sir, what''s going on at the Hyena gang''s bar? Is there a bomb"


    "Four fully assembled remote-control bombs were indeed found there, but because we got the news in advance, the signal jammer we prepared worked, and the bombs did not explode."


    Dillon briefly talked about what happened, and after confirming that the task at the villa was successfully completed, he hung up the phone. After all, he still had a lot of things to deal with.

 Chapter 80： Hospital

    Chapter 80 Hospital


    "Thank you very much for this operation, Roan."


    Hung up the phone, and simply arranged for the **** of the personnel at the villa site. Detective Norton immediately walked to Roan''s side, expressing his thanks with a serious expression.


    Roan not only told them yesterday that the Hyena Gang had a remote-controlled bomb, but also saved his life during the execution of the mission just now. Norton thinks very much now.


    Pull Roan into his investigation team.


    "You''re welcome, Agent Norton."


    "Just call me Norton."


    "Okay, Norton."


    Roan didn''t talk nonsense, and immediately pointed to Sean who was still unconscious in the distance and said:


    "Ryder has been sent to the hospital. I need to check the situation quickly. Please send this Sean to our No. 5 investigation team."


    "no problem!"


    Norton patted his chest and agreed, and at the same time invited Roan to go out for a drink after this incident was completely over, and he treated him.


    "OK."


    Roan agreed with a smile, then stepped on the accelerator, and the Chevrolet rushed out in the direction of the ambulance.


    ��


    In the hospital, the lights in the operating room were dimly lit. Except for Augustus, Lacey, Mona, William and other agents from the No. 5 investigation team had all arrived.


    Roan stood in the corridor, rubbing his thumb and index finger with his right hand.


    "Roan."


    After a while, Yvonne, who was wearing a dark blindfold on her right eye, walked over quickly. After a brief hug with Lacey and Roan, she asked with a solemn expression:


    "What happened, what was Ryder''s injury?"


    Roan briefly described what happened today, and then said solemnly:


    "Sorry, Yvonne, if I hadn''t been separated from Ryder"


    "No, it''s Ryder''s fault, not yours."


    After hearing Roan say that the white substance on Ryder''s face was probably fentanyl, Yvonne turned pale, but when she heard Roan''s words, Yvonne immediately took a deep breath to suppress the anxiety in her heart, and said in a deep voice:


    ��At the beginning, I forced Ryder to withdraw from SWAT because he disregarded his own safety every time he performed a mission, chose to take the greatest risk by himself, and protected his teammates behind him.


    I admit that when I was in NYPD before, if I went out to perform missions together, I absolutely liked teammates like Ryder very much, and I could trust him with my back.


    But as his wife, I absolutely cannot just sit and watch him walk on the edge of danger every day.��


    After the two got married, Yvonne forced Ryder to quit SWAT.


    But Ryder also had his own pursuit, so he finally chose to join the FBI.


    After Yvonne learned of this, she was a little dissatisfied but never said much, because Yvonne knew why Ryder was obsessed with working in the law enforcement department, and compared with SWAT, which was mainly responsible for combating tough battles, the FBI''s job content was relatively dangerous. lower.


    "I know that Ryder will one day be admitted to the operating room because of his character"


    Speaking of this, Yvonne''s eyes turned red, and she stared fiercely at the operating room:


    "But I didn''t expect this day to come so soon."


    "Ryder will be fine."


    Lacey hugged Yvonne and comforted her in a low voice. Roan, who knew that Ryder was probably fine, stood beside him and didn''t say much. Instead, when he was about to go back to interrogate Sean, he would give him a big memory first. Let''s talk about recovery.


    Not only was it because of Sean''s sneak attack on Ryder, but it was also because Roan found out that he used three bottles of potions in this operation, which is really a bit of a loss.


    But I don''t know if it''s Roan''s illusion. He feels that every time he uses a bottle of stamina potion and strength potion, his physical fitness seems to be slowly improving.


    Especially after drinking the potion of swiftness just now, after the effects of the medicine wore off, his reaction speed was not as fast as when he acted just now, but it was also a little faster than usual.


    Although 90% of the effect of the medicine will disappear afterward, as long as 10% of the effect stays in the body, it will be a safe profit.


    drop��


    While Roan was thinking about it, the door of the operating room suddenly opened, and everyone rushed forward when they saw it. Yvonne even grabbed the doctor''s hand, her face full of anxiety:


    "Doctor, my husband"


    "Your husband is fine."


    Some doctors in the Mediterranean took off the masks on their faces, pulled out their hands expressionlessly and said:


    "He was sent to the hospital in a timely manner, and his physique is better than the average person. Now he is out of danger. He only needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time. There is a high probability that he will not become addicted to drugs later."


    "Okay, okay, thank you doctor."


    Hearing the doctor''s affirmative answer, Yvonne hugged Lacey next to her and wept with joy. Then she saw Roan next to her, and immediately stepped forward to give him a big hug, her face full of gratitude:


    "Thank you very much, Roan, if it weren''t for you to send Ryder to the hospital in time, I really can''t imagine"


    Roan patted Yvonne''s shoulder, and the corner of his mouth slightly hooked:


    "Ryder is my good brother, this is what I should do."


    After Ryder was pushed out of the operating room, he was still in a coma. Roan, Lacey and other detectives from the No. 5 investigation team visited each other briefly, then left the space for Yvonne, and drove back to Yalin. Cobb Federal Building.


    In the Chevrolet, Mona sat in the back seat and started typing on the keyboard again, while Lacey sat in the co-pilot, chatting with Luo An.


    "After all, Ryder''s physique is good, even fentanyl can''t hurt him,"


    Lacy, who knew the terrible toxicity of fentanyl, smacked her lips, sighing but also somewhat puzzled:


    "Or Ryder was lucky and didn''t inhale too much fentanyl?"


    "Probably both."


    Roan raised his brows, and instead of continuing the topic, he questioned:


    "Where''s Augustus? Why did he go?"


    Augus has always been good to the agents of the No. 5 investigation team on weekdays. Why didn''t he come because Ryder was injured and hospitalized?


    "Augus was called to a meeting."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Lacey shrugged:


    "The DEA and the Organized Crime Investigation Section made too much noise this time, and afterward, a large number of reporters ran to the front of the building and asked to interview them.


    But before holding a press conference, the two departments need to unify their voices on some sensitive and confidential issues, so they are still in meetings.


    You and Ryder also participated in this operation, so Augustus was also dragged to this meeting��


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Roan suddenly realized.


    When chatting with Norton before the start of the operation, Roan learned that when the hyena gang first appeared, the DEA had already been eyeing them.


    After the fact, the Hyena Gang can develop so quickly, and the purchase and sales of flour can be laid so quickly. It is absolutely impossible to say that it has nothing to do with DEA ??behind it.


    When Luo An heard the news, two words popped out of Luo An''s mind: Raise the bandits to be self-respecting, raise them first and then kill them.


    "Sure enough, there is no good result for gangsters."


    It is said that it is a meeting to unify the caliber, isn''t this an after-the-fact summary meeting.


    Reminiscent of Augustus'' **** face, the corners of Roan''s mouth slightly raised, not knowing what he would gain this time.


    Stepping on the accelerator, Chevrolet rushed towards the Jacob Federal Building.

    Roan, Mona, and Lacey had just stepped out of the elevator when they saw August who had just walked to the door of the No. 5 investigation team.


    Seeing the agents behind him, Augustus immediately stopped and asked:


    "How is Ryder doing now?"


    "It''s nothing serious."


    Roan briefly described the doctor''s diagnosis, and Augustus heaved a sigh of relief.


    Waved his hand to signal the agents to return to their seats, what to do, Augustus pulled Roan to his team leader''s office again.


    "You did a great job this time! Roan!"


    As soon as Roan''s **** sat on the chair, Augustus grinned and exposed his back molars. He didn''t elaborate on the contents of the meeting, but Roan heard the final result clearly:


    Double the salary of other agents this week! Quadruple your winnings!


    And the Hyena gang''s affairs are completely over. After those people are sent to prison, the No. 5 investigation team will receive a thank you money, which is about 500,000 US dollars, and Roan can get part of it.


    Not only that, Augustus also got a guarantee from Verenice:


    As long as Luo An can solve two cases in a short period of time, Luo An will be promoted immediately and become a senior detective.


    Roan didn''t care about the promotion, after all, the salary didn''t increase much after the promotion.


    But the bonus and the money he could get in the future made his eyes light up instantly:


    "Thank you sir!"


    "This is what you deserve."


    Augus waved his hand and didn''t say much, then suddenly put away the smile on his face, looked at Roan solemnly, and said in a deep voice:


    "Roan, according to the news sent to me by Verinis, recently our FBI New York branch plans to launch a ''Star Agent Project''."


    "?"


    Hearing what Augustus said, Roan was taken aback. Can the words agent and star be combined?


    Seeing the doubts on Roan''s face, Augustus began to explain in detail:


    "You also know that the crime rate in New York has always been high. Although our FBI solves a lot of cases every year, there are more cases that we fail to solve.


    This makes the New York media have always had a low opinion of us, always saying that we are a waste of taxpayer money. "


    Although the New York Police Department is also scolded, because of the size of the case, most of the people who scold the New York Police Department are ordinary people.


    However, most of the cases handled by the FBI are relatively special, and they often communicate with the rich and powerful, so the cases were not solved, and most of the people who scolded the FBI for their incompetence are these people.


    Roan understood what Augustus said, but he still didn''t understand how the words star and agent were combined.


    Could it be that the top management intends to establish an image of a detective who can solve the case 100%?


    "No one dares to say that they can solve the case 100%."


    Luo An wondered: "I don''t believe that the high-level officials of the FBI don''t know this truth."


    "certainly."


    Augus nodded, of course the higher-ups knew this, so they didn''t intend to establish a 100% image of solving the case:


    "This ''Star Detective Project'' actually intends to select a few good-looking detectives and let them be responsible for telling the outside media about the process of solving the case. Those detectives who actually solve the case will not appear in front of the media. .��


    "What?"


    Hearing this, Roan was shocked:


    "Are the higher-ups crazy? Let these vases take the credit from the detectives who really succeeded in solving the crime?"


    When this kind of thing happened, Luo An didn''t dare to pat his chest to guarantee that he could solve every case, but he could pat his chest to assure that those so-called ''star detectives'' would be 100% blacked out after get off work.


    "You think too much, Roan."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Augustus rolled his eyes on his **** face. Of course, it was impossible for the FBI''s senior management to do so, so he continued to explain:


    "These so-called ''star agents'' are just a facade to deal with reporters, do you understand?


    They will not say that they broke the case themselves, but they will stand in for some detectives and answer questions in front of reporters. "


    "What about the credit and rewards after solving the case?"


    "Naturally, the detective who actually solves the case will get it."


    After listening to Augustus'' narration, Roan rolled his eyes, the whole plan sounded full of mistakes and omissions.


    Those detectives who really successfully solved the case, although they got their own rewards, were deprived of the right to be interviewed by the media. When they saw a little boy on TV instead of themselves, and talked about the process of solving the case, the ghost knew what was going on in his heart .


    Will you find an opportunity to shoot the opponent quietly?


    And what''s the use of such a thing?


    Shouldn��t the core problem to be solved be to improve the success rate of solving crimes?


    Augus also felt that this kind of thing was unreliable, so he mainly reminded Roan today, and said with a serious expression:


    "Because your recent performance is very outstanding, and your height is about the same as mine, so you have been targeted by some people.


    They may invite you to join this "Star Detective" program, and they may even want you to shout the slogan "100% solve the case" and become a real "Star Detective," rather than a facade. "


    It turned out to be to remind myself not to be deceived, not to be fooled by those people.


    Roan suddenly realized, and understood the real purpose of Augustus telling himself this matter.


    "Thank you, sir."


    Roan nodded with a smile, got up and poured Augustus a cup of coffee:


    "I just want to solve the case quietly, make money quietly, and don''t want to be famous at all."


    "Good."


    Augus nodded in satisfaction. He could tell that what Roan said was true.


    In the vast land of America, there are many lunatics, or people with abnormal brains.


    If the FBI really establishes a "100% case-solving" agent, then these people will definitely kill people in different ways, kill a lot of people, do all kinds of weird and terrifying cases, and then let this agent go detect.


    Especially the group of "uncrowned kings" on American land, for the sake of ratings, they dare not say anything except some sensitive topics, and it is not impossible to blow this agent into Sherlock Holmes.


    But if the detective didn''t solve any case, or made some mistakes in the process of handling the case, then...


    It''s scary to think about it.


    Roan just wanted to solve the case, earn bonuses and thank you fees, and enjoy the life of this life. He had no idea of ??fighting wits with those lunatics.


    Making a fortune in silence is the kingly way.


    Boom boom boom��


    There was a knock on the door of the team leader''s office. Roan and Augustus turned their heads and saw that it was Lacey.


    "The suspect Sean has been sent to the interrogation room."


    "OK!"


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Roan nodded towards Augustus, got up decisively and left the team leader''s office.


    But before he reached the door of the interrogation room, a phone call came in suddenly.


    Roan saw that it was Agent Norton.


    "Hello?"


    Pressed the answer button, Luo An chuckled and said:


    "Thank you for your hard work. Our No. 5 investigation team successfully received the suspect Sean. He is now in our interrogation room."


    Roan thought the other party was asking if he had successfully received someone.


    "When we were interrogating the prisoner just now, we learned a new piece of news, Roan."


    Norton on the other end of the phone grinned, with a strange voice:


    "Your investigation team, are you investigating a serial bank robbery recently?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 82： sixth robbery

    Chapter 82 The Sixth Robbery


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Hearing the words on the other end of the phone, Roan was taken aback. The case you mentioned cannot be .


    "It''s the robbery case where the duo in black clothes and black pants robbed six banks in a row."


    Norton only knew that the bank robbery was under the jurisdiction of the investigation team Roan, but he didn''t know the conflict between Roan and Brosen.


    In addition, he and Roan are relatively familiar, so after learning the clue, his first reaction was to tell Roan the news.


    "That''s right! There is such a case!"


    Hearing Norton''s description, Roan nodded decisively, then asked with a smile:


    "Did you directly catch the gangster who robbed the bank? The Hyena Gang also expanded the business of robbing the bank?"


    "No, but got some clues."


    Hearing Roan''s laughter, Norton also laughed, and said directly:


    "Come to the interrogation room of our investigation team now, this suspect can be handed over to you for interrogation first."


    Roan''s eyes lit up, and he agreed decisively:


    "OK, I''ll be right there!"


    Hung up the phone, Roan turned his head to look at Lacey, then looked at Sean with broken eyebrows who was sitting on a chair in the interrogation room, with his hands handcuffed on the beam of the table, and said after a second of silence:


    "Lacie, leave this person to you and William for trial. The evidence is complete, just go through the process, and there is nothing to talk nonsense with him."


    "OK."


    Lacey agreed, and just about to turn around and call William, Roan suddenly frowned:


    "Is the camera on?"


    Lacey subconsciously shook her head and replied, "Not yet."


    "very good."


    Hearing the affirmative answer, Roan walked to the side station, picked up a book, pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked in.


    Then, under the astonished gazes of Lacey and Sean, Roan directly placed the book on Sean''s back, and punched him.


    boom!


    "you"


    "This punch is because you attacked my teammate with flour and almost killed him."


    The huge impact made Sean''s internal organs tremble. In addition, he was hit by the shock bomb just now, and now his chest hurts so much that he almost spewed blood from his mouth.


    The back was hit hard, and Sean slammed into the table in front of him. The severe pain made him growl angrily, but he was powerless with his hands handcuffed.


    Roan''s eyes flickered coldly, he grabbed Sean''s face and stared into his eyes, and said coldly:


    "This punch is for Dani and the families of the victims."


    "F"


    Just as Sean started swearing, Roan picked up the book again and put it behind his back. When the strong wind hit, he punched it down again.


    boom!


    Because of being hit by the impact of the shock bomb before, Sean, who was already unwell, felt severe pain in his internal organs when he was hit by this heavier fist.


    In the end, he couldn''t hold back, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, his body softened, and he sat on the chair and passed out.


    "snort."


    Roan, who originally wanted to punch Sean again, saw this scene, snorted coldly, and strode out of the interrogation room with a book.


    After watching the whole process, Lacey spread her hands, pointing to the blood on the table, she was speechless:


    "Can''t you clean it up with your hands?"


    Lacey didn''t have any opinion on Roan''s beating.


    Anyway, the other party is a serial murderer.


    They are the FBI, and they have the final say on entering here.


    Moreover, Lacey knew the whole story about Ryder being sneaked into the hospital after being attacked by Sean. Even before Roan did it, Lacey had already prepared to give him a big memory recovery when he and William interrogated each other. surgical plan.


    "Sorry, Lacey."


    Luo An put the book back to its original place, apologized casually, then walked to his desk, picked up the documents related to the bank robbery, and grabbed Mona who looked confused, strode out of No. 5 investigation Group.


    "Fu-k."


    Lacey raised a **** towards Roan''s back, then called William over, pointed at the scene in the interrogation room, and patted him on the shoulder:


    "I leave it to you to clean up."


    William: "."


    ��


    Organized the Criminal Investigation Section.


    "You are Agent Luo An."


    As soon as they entered their territory, a muscular white man with glasses strode towards Roan and Mona, slapped Roan on the shoulder, and said with a grin:


    "Sure enough, it is exactly as Augustus said, handsome enough!"


    Roan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and shook Dillon:


    "Thank you, sir, for your compliment."


    Turned to greet Mona again, an agent suddenly came over and whispered in Dillon''s ear, Dillon nodded, stopped talking nonsense, pointed directly to an interrogation room not far away and said:


    "Norton is in that room, you go, if you have any questions, just ask Norton."


    "Okay, thank you sir."


    After speaking, Dillon turned around and left with several agents. Roan glanced around the somewhat messy Office of the Organized Crime Investigation Section, exchanged glances with Mona, and walked towards the interrogation room.


    Mona walked beside Roan, hugged the laptop on her chest, tilted her head and said in doubt:


    "Roan, didn''t you say you didn''t plan to get involved in this bank robbery?"


    "That''s what I said yesterday, not who I am today."


    Roan grinned, knocked on the door of the interrogation room, and walked in.


    Whether to intervene in this bank robbery depends on the chances of catching the robber. Roan doesn''t want to get punished if the case is not solved.


    But the clues still need to be investigated, because only when the clues are obtained, Roan can judge his chances of catching the robbers.


    "snort."


    Hearing Roan''s perfunctory words, Mona wrinkled her nose and followed her into the interrogation room.


    In the interrogation room was a white young man who seemed to be in his twenties. He didn''t react when he saw Roan, but his eyes lit up when he saw Mona.


    Mona ignored him completely.


    "I didn''t expect that we would meet again not long after we separated."


    Roan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Norton. Norton also smiled, nodded to Mona and motioned for the two to sit down, then directly handed over the interrogation record to the two, and walked out of the room by himself.


    He still has a lot of things to deal with.


    According to the interrogation records, the white young man in front of him is named Robert. He is 29 years old this year. He has joined the Hyena Gang for two and a half years, but he is one of the grassroots leaders of the Hyena Gang.


    According to the normal situation, people like Robert dare not tell the information about the Hyena Gang, fearing that their family members will be retaliated afterwards, so Norton will just interrogate him casually, and then hand him over to the judge to send him to prison.


    But I didn''t expect that when Robert was interrogated today, the other party said that he really couldn''t tell the information about the Hyena Gang, but he knew information about other cases.


    So Robert''s request is simple: I can tell you about other cases, but I want a reduced sentence.


    "So, you say you know who the bank robbers are?"


    After reading the interrogation record, Mona also called up all the information since Robert''s birth. Roan glanced briefly and asked in a concentrated voice:


    "I agree to your commutation agreement, but the specific time of commutation should be judged according to the value of the case information you described."


    "OK."


    Robert nodded without any nonsense, and said directly: "Then let''s sign the agreement."


    According to federal law, when signing the commutation agreement, a lawyer must be present.


    So ten minutes later, there was another middle-aged white lawyer in a suit in the room.


    Under the witness of the lawyer, the two parties signed their respective names on the agreement, and then Robert crossed his legs and said directly:


    "I don''t know about the previous bank robberies, but the sixth case was done by the owner of a laundry in Queens."


    "What?"


    Hearing this, Roan and Mona were stunned.


    Six robberies, not by the same gang?

 Chapter 83： Just Economic Behavior (Please Subscribe!)

    Chapter 83 is just economic behavior (please subscribe!)


    Seeing the surprised look on Mona''s face, Robert grinned and asked with a smile:


    "You FBI, you don''t always think that these six bank robberies were done by the same group."


    Roan tapped the table with a pen with a blank face:


    "You said the case was done by the laundry owner, do you have any evidence?"


    "certainly!"


    Robert nodded and said directly:


    "The last time I went to his store, I happened to see a set of black clothes and black pants in a laundry basket."


    The Hyena Gang also knew something about this case. After all, one of the banks was in their territory, so they knew that the gang of robbers were dressed in all black.


    Hearing this, Roan was a little speechless:


    "It''s normal to have black clothes in the laundry. Are the black clothes you mentioned the same as the clothes worn by the robbers?"


    Robert spread his hands and leaned back:


    "That''s your FBI''s problem, how do I know?"


    Seeing the other party''s actions, Mona frowned and was about to speak, but Roan waved her hand to signal her not to be angry, and then said with a smile:


    "Very well, I like your attitude.


    But I hope you can always insist on saying this, anyway, I am not the one who went to prison in the end. "


    ��.��


    Hearing Roan''s words, the expression on Robert''s face suddenly froze.


    After a few seconds of silence, Robert coughed twice and sat up straight, and began to speak seriously:


    "The name of the owner of the laundry is Erken. There is a couple of elderly people in the family who need support. One daughter is about to go to college. His wife has a car accident and her right foot is disabled."


    Hearing Robert''s narration, Roan turned his head to look at the computer in Mona''s hand, and found that the information about Erkin on it was exactly the same as the other party''s narration.


    Roan nodded, stretching his hands forward:


    "continue."


    Robert crossed his hands on the table and continued:


    "Because there is only one laundromat in the family, and because the family needs money everywhere, Erken''s life is very tight.


    It happened that his daughter was admitted to college some time ago. Although she can apply for college loans, the high interest rate of college loans is not good news for the family.


    After being recommended by some people, Erken later got to know our Hyena Gang and had some


    Um


    Economic behavior! "


    Hearing that usury was described as an economic behavior, everyone present rolled their eyes. Robert didn''t care, and continued:


    "We thought that after a while, the laundry would be ours if Elken didn''t pay.


    But I didn��t expect that only a week later, Elken took a lot of small change and banknotes, and returned all the money to us with interest. "


    Hearing this, Roan and Mona glanced at each other, and they both realized that something was abnormal.


    Robert raised his legs again when he saw this, and said:


    "Our Hyena Gang is an honest organization, and Erken paid back the money with interest, so we didn''t embarrass each other.


    I just went to Erken''s laundry that day to find out how he made his money. "


    At that time, Robert thought that Erken went out to buy flour secretly, because only by selling flour can the money come so quickly.


    And that area is the territory of the Hyena Gang. Selling flour there privately is an act of smashing the market, so after Robert learned of this, he immediately took his younger brother to the laundry.


    Speaking of which, Robert''s tone was a bit strange:


    "Elken was taking a black suit out of a washing machine when we entered the laundry.


    At that time, the TV hanging in front of the laundry shop happened to be broadcasting the sixth robbery at a nearby bank. "


    Others in the interrogation room: "."


    Roan twitched the corner of his mouth and asked:


    "What time is that day?"


    "Wednesday last week."


    That day was indeed the time when the sixth bank robbery occurred. Roan turned to look at Mona, and motioned her to check the surveillance video of Erkin''s house and his laundry.


    "There is no surveillance near Erken''s house, and the laundry shop is only on the upper right of the gate, and there is a networked surveillance directly facing the gate."


    Mona fluttered her fingers and tapped on the keyboard, then said in a low voice:


    "According to the monitoring, on the day of the incident, Elken''s laundry did not open as usual in the morning. It was not until the fourth hour after the incident that Elken entered the laundry with a brown satchel."


    Roan raised his eyebrows, looked up at Robert, and was about to continue asking, Mona suddenly reached out and pulled his arm, pointing at the computer screen and whispering:


    "When Erken''s daughter came to help in the laundry, her face was not very good-looking, but after ten minutes, her daughter suddenly rushed out of the laundry in high spirits."


    "OK."


    After listening to Mona''s description, Roan blinked, then looked up at Robert again, and asked:


    "Any other clues?"


    "No leads, but some ideas."


    Robert straightened up, looked at Roan and Mona with a smile, and said:


    ��Money robbed from the bank, for safety reasons, many people will not choose to spend it directly most of the time.


    So I guess these bank robbers have a way of laundering money."


    Robert chatted a lot, and the more he talked, the more outrageous he even began to suspect that the gang of robbers came from the KGB. Roan interrupted him with a wave of his hand:


    "Okay, Mr. Robert, your clues are very useful to us, but guessing is fine, do you have any other clues?"


    "Gone."


    "Good."


    Roan nodded, got up and was about to take Mona away, Robert immediately shouted:


    "Mr. Detective, the clues I said are all true, you must commute my sentence! My wife is about to give birth, and I promised her to go to the hospital to accompany her!"


    Roan''s mouth twitched, and he strode out of the interrogation room without replying, but Mona glanced at him when she got up and left her seat.


    But seeing the other party raised an eyebrow at her, Mona gave the other party a hard look, then followed Roan away without looking back.


    Walking out of the interrogation room, Roan exchanged pleasantries with Norton for a while, then walked out of the office area of ??the Organized Crime Investigation Section, and walked into the elevator with Mona.


    In the elevator, Mona tilted her head and asked:


    "Do you believe that the owner of the laundromat is a bank robber?"


    Roan shook his head: "Probably not, but this is a clue, you can check it out, and it won''t delay anything if you check it out."


    Mona nodded and continued to ask:


    "What should I do next?"


    "It''s easy."


    Roan rubbed his arm, tilted his head and smiled:


    "If you have something to do, go to the chief."


    ��


    dong dong dong


    "Enter."


    Hearing the cold voice in the conference room, Roan pushed open the door and walked in.


    Looked up and saw that it was Roan, Verniss didn''t talk nonsense, and continued to lower her head to write the document:


    "sit."


    "Hello, sir."


    Roan sat down on the chair, and before he could speak, Verenice threw him a folder:


    "Look at the information inside first."


    Opening the folder, Roan frowned when he saw the contents inside.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 84： Bruno Sens Efforts (Please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly ticket!)

    Chapter 84 Brosen''s Efforts (Please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly pass!)


    In the folder, there is the general situation of Bruosen''s investigation of the bank robbery in the past few days.


    Among the six bank robberies, except for the third bank which had a hidden camera installed in a fire sprinkler, the cameras of the remaining banks were all smeared with black spray paint by the robbers as soon as they entered the bank.


    So this hidden camera that recorded the whole process of the bank robber''s actions became an important guide for Brosen and the others.


    According to the video recordings in the camera, Brosen judged that the two bank robbers were a group of veterans, or had served in the army, so the whole operation process was very capable and straightforward.


    When they asked passers-by and bank staff who were trapped in the bank for business at the scene of the second crime, Brosen and the others got another piece of news that there was a snake-like snake on the right wrist of one of the bank robbers. Patterned tattoo.


    Because the transparent document bag handed to the bank staff by the robber contained their personal information and family member information, Brosen also began to investigate the bank staff''s interpersonal relationship and family situation, and checked whether anyone had inquired about them recently.


    When the robbers entered the bank, they shot upwards first, and Brosen did not forget to check the bullet casings left at the scene, and took the bullet casings for ballistic analysis.


    Obviously, there is no major problem with Bruosen''s investigation direction and experience judgment, but unfortunately, these clues did not allow Bruosen to find the robbers.


    The location of these banks is not the affluent uptown area. There is a large area around them, and there is no complete surveillance video.


    So after the two robbers finished the robbery and escaped from the bank, Brosen only found the backs of the robbers in a few old cameras that were not connected to the Internet, and judged that they were fleeing eastward, and then the figures of the robbers disappeared completely.


    Snake-like tattoos After investigation, it was found that only a few tattoo parlors in New York would draw this pattern, but after investigation, the owner of the tattoo parlor and the person who drew this pattern had alibi on the day of the incident.


    Checking the family situation of the bank staff did not yield any clues.


    As for the six bullets analyzed by ballistics, they judged that the gun was not the same pistol, but the pistol was of the same model. There were too many black guns of this model strayed out, and it was impossible to investigate for a while.


    So until today, Brosen has not found the exact information of the murderer.


    After reading the information, Roan frowned, and put the file back on Verinisi''s desk.


    Verinis didn''t look up, she continued to lower her head to write the document, and asked at the same time:


    "Any thoughts?"


    "Bruosen is an experienced old FBI, and there is nothing wrong with the direction of the investigation."


    Roan nodded, then changed his tone:


    "The entry point of the investigation is wrong."


    Hearing this, Vernis stopped writing and looked up at Roan:


    "explain."


    No nonsense, Roan directly described the interrogation process just now to Verinisi, and finally said:


    ��Obviously, because the camera was blocked by black paint, Brosen could only judge the murderer based on the camera footage of the bank where the third case occurred and the testimony of witnesses at the scene of the six cases.


    However, in the six cases, the two robbers were about the same height, and the witnesses'' descriptions of the robbers also focused on the same clothes and the same mode of action.


    The witnesses will inevitably neglect some details after being frightened, and the murderer did not speak during the robbery, and used the recordings in the mobile phone to direct the actions of everyone in the bank, so... "


    "So there is a high probability that Brosen believes that the six robberies were committed by the same group."


    Verinis threw away the signature pen, leaned back, and continued following Roan''s words.


    "Exactly."


    Luo An nodded. No witness was unlucky enough to run into the robber twice while doing business at the bank, so the witnesses at the scene of the six robberies would only tell about the robbery they experienced just now.


    In the six robberies, the crime process was exactly the same, the clothes were exactly the same, and even the pistol they held was the same model.


    "You just said that you have found the robber in the sixth case, didn''t you?"


    Hearing what Verenice said, Roan shook his head:


    "No, sir, it''s just possible. I can''t guarantee this until I find concrete evidence."


    Roan didn''t find any big loopholes in the hyena gang Robert''s description.


    But except for some special cases where large memory recovery techniques can be used to force prisoners to confess, evidence is still required in ordinary cases.


    Roan would not talk nonsense until he found the robbed banknotes in the hands of the laundry owner, or other direct evidence.


    Hearing Roan''s words, Verinisi was silent for a long time, then straightened up, crossed her hands on the desk, looked at Roan seriously, and said in a cold voice:


    "The three-day time limit set by Brosen at the meeting to solve the case, there are still 6 hours before the end of the time.


    After 6 hours, if Brossen has not succeeded in solving the case, the case will be taken over by one of our remaining team leaders.


    If we solve this case, then I have the opportunity to go one step further, and you also have the opportunity to be promoted to a senior detective in an exceptional way, and at the same time, you can get a lot of money as a thank you from the bank. "


    Roan nodded. Verenice had told him about this before, and he knew it.


    Eyes moved slightly, Verenice continued:


    "Assuming that Brosen didn''t solve the case within the specified time, then before the case is handed over to us, we can analyze the clues of the case first, starting from the owner of the laundry shop.


    If the owner of the laundry shop is not the real robber, or if Brosen has locked the arrest warrant for the owner of the laundry shop, then consider this incident as never happened, and think about whether to take this case after 6 hours.


    If during the investigation it turns out that the laundromat owner is a bank robber, and Brosen doesn''t discover this, then in 6 hours, I will take the case in the hands of my superiors. "


    The owner of the laundry shop may be a bank robber, and the news that the six bank robberies may not be done by a group of people, Vernis did not intend to inform Brosen from the beginning.


    Not sure whether the news is true or not is one thing, but the main reason is that the man behind the serial murder case to the media is targeting Brosen, who is in the five investigation teams under Verinisi.


    If Roan hadn''t solved the case quickly and successfully rescued the hostages and killed the murderer in front of everyone, Verenice would have been severely punished.


    If Vernis wants to erase the punishment, she will definitely pay a high political price.


    And the foundations that Bruossen and Verenice entered are different.


    Political struggles have always been life and death.


    Vernice originally thought that if Brosen failed to solve the case, she would push him out of the headquarters building of the FBI''s New York branch.


    But she didn''t expect Roan to bring her good news, giving her the opportunity to drive Bruosen out of the building directly.


    Thinking of this, Verniss throat moved, and she looked at Roan with complicated eyes.


    After listening to Verenice''s words, Roan licked the corner of his mouth, his eyes flickered coldly, and he understood the meaning of the words.


    To be honest, Roan also wanted to take this opportunity to drive Brosen out of his sight forever.


    When I was a trainee agent at the beginning, after a certain operation failed, because of the existence of Brosen, the three-person team only deducted points from Roan.


    Follow-up, after Roan and Mona successfully arrested the Park Murderer, Brosen still targeted Roan at the meeting.


    If Roan hadn''t prepared in advance and took away the notebook from the murderer''s arms, the scene that night would have made Roan very embarrassed.


    In addition, the case was leaked to the TV station later, when we met in the elevator, the eyes became colder every time, and the biting dog didn''t bark.


    To be honest, if it wasn��t for the fear that during the investigation after the death of the team leader, if the cause of death was found to be abnormal, it would cause the anger and investigation of the FBI��s senior management.


    Thinking of this, Roan no longer hesitated, nodded to Verenice decisively, and grinned:


    "Okay, sir, I know what to do."


    Virnis was very satisfied when she heard this, and after briefly explaining some arrangements, she asked Roan to leave the office.


    Back to the site of the No. 5 investigation team, Sean has been interrogated by Lacey and William and sent away here, Roan touched his fist that was not punched enough, turned and walked into Augustus'' office.


    Describe Verenice''s arrangement to Augustus. Augustus did not hesitate after hearing it, and agreed decisively. At the same time, he said to Roan with a serious expression:


    "During the process of investigating and collecting evidence, you must be careful."


    "Okay, thank you sir."


    Roan grinned, poured Augustus a cup of coffee, turned and left the team leader''s office.


    Sitting back at his desk, Roan was about to ask Mona, but Mona asked calmly:


    "Is it to investigate the serial bank robbery?"


    Roan was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled:


    "Exactly."


    "I knew it."


    Mona glanced at Roan, pointed to the computer and said:


    "When you went to find Vernis just now, I checked all the network monitoring in the area near the laundry. On the day of the incident, I didn''t find any suspicious figure of the owner of the laundry, Erken."


    Surveillance video can only prove that Erkin opened the door late for business on the day of the crime, and his daughter entered the laundry to help with a sad face, and ran out of the laundry happily. These have nothing to do with the bank robbery.


    "All right."


    After listening to Mona''s narration, Roan nodded, thought for a moment and asked:


    "What about the consumption records of the Erkin family? Is there anything unusual?"


    "Do you know why gangsters like to open laundromats? Because there is a lot of change there, which is convenient for money laundering."


    Mona replied casually, pouting and typing on the keyboard:


    "With elderly parents, a disabled wife, a daughter going to college, and Elken himself with an old laundry, do you think he''ll use things like credit cards a lot?"


    Roan��s mouth twitched. Just as he was about to say something, Mona nodded, pointed at the computer screen and said:


    "Really will."

    Following Mona''s fingers and looking at the computer screen, Roan saw the consumption records of a high-end restaurant.


    "On the fourth day after the sixth bank robbery, Erkin took his family to have a big meal at this Michelin one-star restaurant."


    Mona moved her ten fingers slightly, and the surveillance video of the lobby of the one-Michelin-star restaurant appeared on the computer screen. After a slight adjustment, a moment later, the video of Erkin''s family eating that night appeared in their eyes.


    Obviously, this was a family celebration banquet held for Erken''s daughter to get a letter of recommendation and enter university. During the period, Erken even allowed his daughter Serena to drink a little less wine.


    Throughout the meal, the Erkin family was warm and harmonious, and enjoyed themselves happily.


    After watching the surveillance video, Roan next to the computer scratched his head, Mona shrugged her shoulders, envy flashed in her eyes, but she said without emotion:


    "It''s an important thing for my daughter to go to college. It''s normal to come to this kind of restaurant to celebrate."


    I don��t know if it��s because of sympathy for the life experience of the Erkin family, or envy of Serena. In short, Mona��s mood is very complicated now.


    "Let''s go to the scene to investigate."


    Until the truth is investigated, Roan won''t say much.


    Lacey hasn''t come back yet, and Ryder is lying in the hospital, so the only one who went out with him this time is Mona.


    Seeing that Roan had the same set of combat uniform + plate armor vest + smoke bombs + shock bombs + two Glock 18s + ten extended magazines, Mona sighed speechlessly, clutching her forehead.


    She is now very sure that Roan''s lack of security is extremely serious.


    ��


    The jet-black SUV sped down the roads of New York and soon arrived at the laundromat in Queens.


    Jingle Bell-


    Pushing open the door of the laundromat, Roan walked in with Mona.


    Several machines in the laundry shop were busy, and one of them seemed to be malfunctioning. A thin white woman was kicking the machine, cursing in a low voice while preparing to make a call.


    "FBI!"


    After entering the laundromat, Roan took out the golden FBI badge and showed it to the skinny white woman, then asked:


    "Where is the owner of this laundry?"


    "I am!"


    Seeing Roan in full armor, the thin white female Zoe twitched her mouth, took a step back, and her face was a little nervous:


    "What are you looking for me for?"


    "Are you the boss?"


    The words of the woman in front of him made Roan frown:


    "Isn''t Elkin the owner of this store?"


    Hearing that Roan didn''t come to find her, Zooey immediately breathed a sigh of relief, put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows and began to curse at Erken:


    "You are right, Mr. Detective, the previous owner of this store was indeed Erkin, but he sold this laundry to me at a low price the night before yesterday.


    I have known Erken for many years. I thought that Erken was an honest man, but I didn��t expect that the laundry he sold to me had a lot of problems with the machine. I have been repairing it since morning. machine"


    Hearing what the woman said, Roan and Mona glanced at each other, and both realized that something was wrong, so they quickly interrupted each other with a wave:


    "Airken sold the store to you the night before yesterday, why?"


    "how could I know?"


    The corners of Zoe''s mouth were hooked down, his face full of displeasure:


    "Probably because his daughter is going to a college in another state, so he is not going to work here."


    Could it be that he took this opportunity to run away from New York?


    Mona turned to look at Roan, just about to ask, Roan moved his eyes, and continued to ask:


    "When Erken sold the shop to you, what was his demeanor? Are you in a hurry?"


    Luo An had some other guesses in his heart.


    Zoe shook her head, indicating that she had a bakery at the end of the street. When Erken came to look for her at home the night before, she was not in a hurry, and the two parties negotiated the price of the shop for a long time before negotiating.


    Hearing this, Roan frowned, and the thoughts in his heart were dispelled.


    "OK, thank you for your cooperation."


    Asked a few more casually again, seeing that there was no other useful information, Roan and Mona turned around and left the laundry without talking nonsense.


    With one foot on the gas pedal, the SUV rushed out towards the road.


    On the co-pilot, Mona''s ten fingers were flying on the keyboard, her brows were furrowed:


    ��There is no record of the Erken family buying air tickets to leave New York, nor the checkpoints set up by NYPD on the highways around New York, nor the record of the Erken family leaving in a car.��


    "So they should still be in New York."


    Roan nodded. He originally thought that Erken was under some kind of coercion, so he was in a hurry to sell the laundry, but the state of Erken described by Zoe just now did not look like he was under coercion.


    ��


    The SUV soon arrived at the community where Erken''s family was located, an old building.


    Take the elevator to the third floor, Roan and Mona walked along the corridor to the door of Erken''s house, and began to knock on the door.


    Boom boom boom!


    "Is anyone home?"


    Roan yelled, but no one in the room answered.


    Mona tilted her head when she saw this, and just about to speak, Roan moved her nose, her face changed slightly, and hurriedly waved her hand to signal Mona to hide aside.


    The two took out their weapons, looked at each other and counted down to three, Roan decisively kicked the door open, and shouted:


    "FBI!"


    Roan and Mona held guns in both hands, and quickly checked every room in the house in a vigilant posture. After confirming that no one was there, Qiqi said:


    "Safety!"


    "Safety!"


    Putting the pistol back into the pocket, Roan and Mona walked towards the living room with serious expressions.


    The living room is not big, with a TV and a sofa.


    But at this time, the left side of the yellow-brown sofa has been dyed black by the deep red blood.


    "What the **** is going on here?"


    Mona frowned and looked around. Although there was blood left in the living room, it didn''t look messy as a whole, and it didn''t look like a murder had happened.


    Roan also looked dignified. He checked several bedrooms in the house and found that the clothes in the closets of the parents and daughter were tidied up and the beds were clean.


    But the room of the two elderly people was very messy, and it looked like it hadn''t been tidied up. When the closet was opened, the clothes inside were also torn everywhere.


    Go to the kitchen and open the refrigerator, and find that there is no short-term food in it, and it is full of food that can be stored for a long time.


    "It seems that Erkin is planning to send his daughter to college with his wife."


    After a brief observation, Roan walked back to the living room, folded his hands on his chest, frowned and pondered:


    "The two elderly people stayed to watch the house, because it was inconvenient for them to go downstairs to buy things, so Aierken left them a lot of food."


    Hearing Roan''s analysis, Mona nodded and didn''t say much. She also made the same judgment after a week of observation, but she was still a little confused. What happened to the blood on the sofa?


    "have no idea."


    Roan shook his head, the first time he saw the blood, he wanted to call his colleagues from the trace inspection department to come here for inspection.


    But after thinking about it, this time, I and Mona belonged to a secret operation, and it might not be appropriate to call the trace inspection department.


    "Go back to the car and check the surveillance video of the surrounding roads to see where Erken''s car went."


    Silent for a long time, Roan searched the house several times, but did not find any clues, so he turned his head and said to Mona:


    "I didn''t see Erken''s car downstairs just now. It was most likely driven away by the Erken family."


    "OK."


    Mona nodded, got up and prepared to leave with Roan.


    The two had just walked out of the door of Erken''s house. When Roan was about to fix the door again, the elevator not far from the corridor opened, and two young white men walked out from it.


    Seeing Roan in full armor and the white FBI words written on Mona''s body armor, the two white youths were taken aback, looked at each other, and walked towards the stairs not far from the elevator.


    After fixing the door, Roan tilted his head to see this scene, took out the Glock 18 calmly, protected Mona behind him, and shouted loudly:


    "You two, don''t leave yet..."


    The next second, the two white youths who had just walked to the door of the stairs decisively drew their guns, and pulled the trigger in the direction of Luo An without aiming.


    Just as the two white youths stretched their hands into their arms, Roan''s eyes flickered coldly, and while pushing Mona back into Erken''s house forcefully, he raised his hand and shot, hitting the center of the back of the white youth on the left.


    boom!


    boom! boom!


    "ah-"


    "FU-K!"


    Three shots were fired, and Roan hid sideways into the room unharmed.


    One of the two white youths screamed and fell headfirst down the stairs, while the other yelled and ran down the stairs, ready to help his companion up and take him to run away together.


    "Roan, are you okay?"


    Mona, who was pushed to the ground by Roan, quickly got up from the ground, her face was full of anxiety, Roan turned her head and grinned:


    "I''m fine! Don''t worry."


    The moment he fired the gun just now, Roan felt that although his reaction speed was not as quick as when he was in the basement, it was still a little faster than before.


    Thinking of this, Roan no longer hesitated, and decisively rushed out with the Glock 18 in a fighting posture.


    Mona followed closely after seeing this, but what shocked her was that the time difference between her and Roan going out was less than two seconds, but as soon as she walked out of the room, Roan rushed to the end of the corridor.


    "Shit!"


    Mona cursed secretly in her heart: "Why is Roan so fast?"


    Roan didn''t know what Mona was thinking. The moment he rushed to the stairs, Roan decisively threw a shock bomb towards the corner of the stairs.


    Boom!


    The moment the shock bomb exploded, the eyes of the two young Caucasians were filled with white light, their ears hurt sharply, and their heads were dizzy.


    Roan raised his mouth slightly when he saw this, raised his hand and aimed the Glock 18 at the arms of the two white youths, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    "ah-"


    The arm was hit by a bullet, and the pistols in the hands of the two white youths fell to the ground in an instant. They subconsciously prepared to pick it up, but Roan had already rushed in front of them amidst the incredible faces of the two.


    A gust of wind hit, and the two young Caucasians were hit **** the face. The bridge of their noses collapsed, and they fell to the ground with their heads up.


    By the time Mona rushed to the stairs with a gun, Roan had already handcuffed the two together.


    Mona: ".FU-K!"

    Chapter 86 The Truth About the Laundry Owner (Please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly pass!)


    "Roan!"


    Ignoring the two white youths who were paralyzed on the ground and screaming, Mona searched them for guns, ammunition, driver''s license and other items, looked deeply at Roan, and said angrily:


    "You were too fast just now, it''s very dangerous! What if you get hit by the other side? We''re just the FBI, not the swat action team!"


    When Roan rushed to the stairs at a very fast speed just now, Mona was first shocked by the speed of the opponent, and then became extremely uneasy, very worried that when she rushed to the stairs, she would see Roan lying on the ground.


    Luo An is indeed fully armed, but the bullets have no eyes. Who knows if a bullet will hit Luo An''s vitals at a strange angle.


    This kind of thing has happened many times in the vast land of America.


    "Okay, not next time."


    Seeing the serious expression on Mona''s face, Roan smiled and didn''t make any more sophistry, and then changed the subject, hoping that Mona would check the identities of the two white youths based on their driver''s licenses.


    Mona glared at Roan, but turned around and went downstairs to get her laptop from the SUV.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan stepped on the shot arm of the white youth on the left, and asked sharply:


    "Tell me, what are you doing here? Why are you shooting at us?"


    "F"


    This white youth was shot in the back by Roan just now, and was shot in each arm. The pain was already unbearable.


    Now Roan stepped on the arm that was shot, and just said the first letter of the beautiful words, and passed out from the pain.


    Roan sneered when he saw this, and turned to look at the white young man on the right.


    The white young man on the right was trembling because of the gunshot wound on his arm. When he looked up and saw Roanna''s cold eyes, and the other party had no intention of calling an ambulance, his body trembled even more.


    Seeing the hesitation on the other party''s face, wanting to speak but not daring to speak, Luo An had some guesses about the identities of the two, so he said in a cold voice:


    "Don''t say it, you will see God 100% in a few minutes. Say it, maybe you will see God after you die of old age."


    Hearing this, the white youth on the right was stunned. They shot first. Even if they died here a few minutes later due to excessive blood loss, the FBI would most likely be on administrative leave afterwards, so he hurriedly said:


    "My name is Harry, and his name is Dominic. We are only here today to find someone. We didn''t intend to conflict with your FBI. It''s just that you stopped us just now, and we shot subconsciously because we were afraid. Please call the ambulance immediately." Telephone"


    "Would you be so nervous about finding someone? Faced with the FBI''s inquiry, choose to shoot directly? Lying to the FBI agent is a felony!"


    Hearing this, Roan frowned slightly, took out his phone and shook it in front of Harry, and said in a cold voice:


    "You better think it through."


    Harry is 21 years old this year. He has not received much education since he was a child.


    When it was really about his own life and death, Harry trembled in fear, and then recalling Roan''s previous words, he immediately explained everything:


    "We''re just looking for money from the Erkin''s family!"


    Harry said that he was a member of a small gang in a few streets nearby, the "Black River Gang". He had just joined the gang for less than three months, and one of the gang''s businesses was to borrow money from outsiders.


    Airken borrowed a large amount of money from them a few days ago, and today the boss of their gang sent the two of them to urge the other party to remember to repay the loan when it was due.


    As for the shooting at Roan and Roan just now, Harry said that Dominic was the leader of the two, and he had a life in his hands. Just now, he subconsciously shot at Roan and Roan because he heard Dominic asked him to shoot. gun.


    "Airken borrowed money from you?"


    Hearing the news, Roan was taken aback, and then asked:


    "When did this happen?"


    "It was last week!"


    Hearing this, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that Elken had also borrowed money from the Hyena Gang before, and at the same time repaid it quickly, Roan understood.


    Erken is playing with loans to support loans!


    But Roan was very puzzled, why is Erken so courageous, and dare to play like this with the money of the gangster?


    This is very inconsistent with Erkin''s usual personality and performance.


    "At first you said you were here to find someone, but later you said you were here to find money."


    Roan tilted his head and found the inconsistency in Harry''s words, so he grinned and asked:


    "Which statement is true?"


    "The latter sentence is true!"


    Feeling his body trembling more and more, Harry said with trembling lips:


    "Last night in a nearby supermarket, Erkin clashed with a member of our gang and was accidentally shot by a member of our gang with a pistol.


    People from our gang who were nearby this morning accidentally discovered that Erken actually brought his parents into the car, so they guessed that Erken planned to run away with the money.


    After the boss found out, he sent someone to stop their car halfway, and took the family back to our bar. Then not long ago, the boss sent both of us to Erken��s house to find money.��


    The more Harry talked, the more ugly his face became, and at the end he was already pale, as if he was about to fall into a coma.


    Seeing this, Roan immediately pressed his phone and sent a message to Mona.


    After a while, several medical staff came up with a stretcher, put the two on the stretcher, carried them back to the ambulance and took them to the hospital.


    In fact, when Mona went downstairs with their driver''s license to check their identities, Roan had already asked Mona to call the ambulance from the nearest hospital, telling them to come here as soon as possible to pull people.


    The ambulance left quickly. Mona sat on the co-pilot of the SUV, tilted her head and looked at Roan who notified the New York Police Department, and asked:


    "The other party has explained everything?"


    Roan nodded, this story is not complicated.


    Recently, for some unknown reason, Erkin began to borrow money from gangsters, and even borrowed money from a gangster, the Hyena Gang and the Black River Gang had borrowed money.


    What''s even more outrageous is that Erken actually used the money of these gangsters to play with loans to support loans.


    This is the first time Roan has heard of this kind of thing in two lifetimes.


    When the sixth bank robbery happened, Erkin was borrowing money from the Black River Gang.


    In the previous video surveillance, Erkin returned to the laundry with a brown bag four hours after the sixth robbery.


    Actually, according to Harry, the brown bag contained money actually borrowed by Elken from the Black River Gang.


    The night before yesterday, Erken chose to sell the laundry for unknown reasons.


    Last night, on his way home, Erken clashed with members of the ''Black River Gang'' again, and was shot by the opponent''s pistol.


    Erken didn''t know that the other party was an accidental injury, and thought that his behavior of using loans to support loans was discovered by the "Heihe Gang". The plan to drive his daughter to school was temporarily interrupted, and he chose to drive with the whole family instead. road.


    As a result, he was detained by the boss of the "Heihe Gang" on the way.


    "Then what do we do next?"


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Mona''s eyebrows trembled. She had never seen such a bold person.


    Dancing her ten fingers on the keyboard, Mona quickly found the bar of the ''Heihe Gang'', which is a ten-minute drive away.


    "Call Norton at the Organized Crime Unit and ask him to contact SWAT."


    Roan rubbed his temples speechlessly. He originally thought Elken was a ''bank robber'', but he didn''t expect that the other party was ''supporting loans with loans''. When the bank robbery happened, Elken was actually borrowing money from gangsters.


    This gap between the front and rear is a bit outrageous.


    Mona nodded, then frowned slightly: "So, this case has nothing to do with that bank robbery, and we came here for nothing?"


    "No."


    Roan shook his head, turned to Mona and smiled:


    "We had the opportunity to rescue Serena, a prospective college student, from the gangsters. It was not in vain."


    Roan felt Mona''s envy for Erkin''s daughter Selina before, and thinking about what he had learned about Mona''s family before, he also had a little understanding of Mona.


    Sure enough, upon hearing Roan''s words, Mona paused slightly with her head down while typing on the keyboard, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.


    Dear book friends, the author bows down here! So sorry for today and the next week!


    No way, the boss threw me out on a business trip, so I can only update later

 Chapter 87： New Analysis of Bank Robbery Cases (Please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly pass!

    Chapter 87 New Analysis of Bank Robbery Cases (Please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly pass!)


    The No. 5 investigation team can actually take care of the gang affairs, but Roan and Mona are acting in private this time and can''t attract too many people''s attention, so they called Norton of the organized crime investigation team.


    Tell Norton clearly what happened. After Norton learned that the "Black River Gang" was just a small loan shark gang, he immediately led the SWAT action team here, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to make a quick surprise attack and kill this small gang. Easily destroyed.


    "Thank you for your hard work this time."


    Roan glanced at the main gang leaders who were stuffed into the car by SWAT, smiled and extended his hand to shake Norton:


    "I didn''t expect that I just destroyed a big gang in the morning, and I will smash a small gang in the afternoon."


    "No hard work."


    Norton was overjoyed, pointed to the reporter who appeared from nowhere not far away, and whispered to Roan with a smile:


    "Thank you very much, Roan, for giving me another chance to be on the news."


    As far as the United States is concerned, cracking down on gangs is not easy. Law enforcement agencies not only need physical evidence that can accurately convict gang leaders, but also witnesses who can testify in court.


    It so happened that the Erkin family was trapped in the bar at this time, and the most difficult witness evidence had already been obtained, and the remaining physical evidence was not a problem for the FBI at all.


    As far as Norton is concerned, this gang is entirely the credit given to him by Luo Anbai.


    At this moment, Norton wished he could pull Roan into his investigation team on the spot.


    "You''re welcome."


    Roan smiled and waved his hand. Because he helped Norton in the morning, Norton gave this clue to himself. After he investigated it clearly, he sent the criminal back to the other party.


    On the surface, it seems that Roan is at a loss, but Norton is an organized crime investigation department, and he has dealt with gangsters all year round. No one knows what clues they have in their hands.


    A gangster doesn��t matter, but the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau has 80% of the gang information in the entire New York area, and these gangs radiate the entire New York area, plus undercover agents


    It doesn��t matter that the clues provided by Norton this time are useless in the process of solving the case. Next time, the clues provided by Norton may be used at a critical moment.


    Multiple friends and multiple paths, Roan already has a good understanding of Norton''s character and personal situation, so Roan is more optimistic about long-term investment.


    Without delaying Norton''s interview with reporters, Roan turned around and went to the Elken family.


    Besides because Mona comforted Elken''s daughter Serena in that direction, there is another reason.


    That is, Roan really doesn''t understand why Erken, an ordinary New Yorker who has worked diligently for half his life, dares to use gangster money to play with loans to support loans recently?


    "Because I''m too eager to make money."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Erken, who lost four fingers, looked at his wife and daughter Selina who were almost sold by the gangsters, and the elderly parents who sat there trembling, with regret in his eyes. tears:


    ��Some time ago, when I was chatting with a middle-aged man who often washed clothes in my laundry, the other party told me that he had borrowed some money from a gangster a few streets away some time ago.


    Later, the gangster was dealt with, and the money fell into his pocket forever, and no one asked him to pay back the money. "


    Hearing this, Roan frowned, as if he understood something.


    Sure enough, Erkin continued:


    "When I learned that my daughter got a letter of recommendation to go to college, I was proud of her but also very anxious, because I couldn''t afford the money to send her to college. I could only see her choose the one that would carry her for at least 20 years. Expensive college loans.


    After thinking for a long time, I decided to imitate the middle-aged man who often came to my laundry shop to wash clothes, and went to the nearby hyena to borrow money. "


    Roan frowned slightly, and said in doubt: "The premise of this kind of borrowing is that you can be sure that the gangster will be dealt with in the near future. The Hyena Gang was still very strong before today, you."


    Erken whispered: "The laundry has been here for more than ten years, and I know a lot of people, besides NYPD, DEA, and even your FBI."


    ��.��


    Hearing this, Luo An sighed silently in his heart.


    Sure enough, in the United States, secrets are meant to be revealed, and this is indeed true.


    In Erken��s description, he learned from some people some time ago that a small gang nearby would be dealt with in the near future, so he tentatively borrowed dozens of dollars from that small gang


    A few days later, the little gang was really dealt with, and no one really came to him afterwards to ask him to pay back the money.


    Since then, Elken has paid more and more attention to the gangs in various urban areas of New York, and the amount of borrowed money has also begun to increase a little bit.


    Erken also paid back the money several times during this period, but his repayment was just to borrow more money next time.


    ��


    Backing to investigation team No. 5, Mona sat back on the chair and stretched her waist.


    Roan sat on a chair, looked at the file folder of the serial bank robbery, and stroked his chin in thought.


    "What''s the matter, Roan?"


    At this time, Mona was in a good mood. Seeing Roan''s pensive expression, she immediately tilted her head and asked:


    "Isn''t this case solved? Although it''s not a bank robbery, the laundry owner has nothing to do with the bank robbers."


    "No, Mona."


    Hearing this, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head slowly and said:


    "There is a relationship between them."


    Mona froze for a moment, tilted her head in confusion: "What do you mean?"


    Roan didn''t answer Mona''s question directly, but put the folder of the bank robbery in front of her eyes, and asked in a low voice:


    "Mona, do you think the six bank robberies were committed by the same gang?"


    "Um?"


    Mona was puzzled, looked at the folder carefully, and raised her head to ask:


    "Isn''t it?"


    Before Robert stated that the owner of the laundry shop was responsible for the sixth bank robbery, but now it is confirmed that the other party is not a bank robber. At the time of the incident, Elken was borrowing money from the gang.


    The black clothes in the laundry shop, after recalling it, Erken said that they were just the ordinary clothes of the owner of the restaurant next door. Roan and Mona just went to check the owner of the restaurant next door to the laundry shop and found that it was indeed the case.


    In this case, why does Roan think that the six robberies were not committed by the same group?


    Hearing Mona''s question, Roan explained solemnly:


    "It was the word ''imitation'' mentioned by Erken just now, which reminded me."


    Actually, Roan doesn''t think that Bruosen has the ability to solve the case. Just from the situation of solving the case, Roan admires Bruosen very much.


    It is a failure to be a human being.


    But the other party has not solved the case until now. In this case, there are only two possibilities:


    First: This gang of bank robbers has become so cunning that even an old FBI like Brosen can''t find a trace of them.


    Second: The direction of Brosen''s investigation is wrong.


    Comparing the two situations, Roan believed in the second more than the first.


    If the real situation is really the second one, then carefully observe the several directions that Bruosen��s process of solving the case is aimed at, the most important one of which is:


    The six bank robberies were committed by the same group, and they were a group of veterans, or had served in the army, so the whole operation process was very capable and straightforward.


    After listening to Roan''s analysis, Mona covered her mouth and said in surprise:


    "So, you''re saying that the six bank robberies were not committed by the same gang, and that they didn''t have any experience in the military?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 88： Take the case

    Chapter 88 takes over the case


    "Just a possibility."


    Roan rubbed his temples. The folder in his hand was just a general overview of the bank robbery, and there was no testimony from witnesses at the crime scene.


    The documents that Verinisi gave him before were just the general process of Brosen''s investigation of the bank robbery, and there were no details.


    So Roan''s judgment on this case is just a reasonable speculation.


    "Okay, Roan."


    Seeing Roan frowning and thinking, Mona turned around, and tapped the keyboard again with her fingers flying:


    "We''re not in charge of this case. Didn''t Vernis tell you just now that she won''t take over this case?"


    Before the two returned to the Jacobs Federal Building, Roan had called Vernis and said that after their investigation, the owner of the laundry shop was not actually the robber in the bank robbery.


    Vernis didn''t say much after hearing the news. She first said that Roan had worked hard and asked him to go back to the Federal Building to rest, and then said that she was going to hold a meeting with the team leader soon, and she would elaborate on it after she finished the meeting. this matter.


    The meeting Verinisi participated in was one of the group supervisors, Brosen, who arranged the meeting after failing to find the bank robber within the stipulated time.


    "No, Mona."


    Sitting on the chair, Roan leaned on his chin and meditated for a long time. He thought carefully about what had happened in the past few days, and then grinned:


    "Verinis should take this case."


    "What?"


    Hearing this, Mona''s expression changed immediately.


    Because of the existence of William, she more or less knew about the punishment of Brosen after he failed to solve the case. In this case, Vernis took the case...


    "It''s okay, Mona."


    Seeing the worried expression on Mona''s face, Roan chuckled and comforted:


    "We are different from Brosen."


    Mona was stunned:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    "Because our No. 5 investigation has never done anything to drag people behind their backs."


    Roan pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, thinking clearly about the matter.


    It stands to reason that bank robberies are nothing more than bank robberies. There are many incidents in this simple and honest place in New York, and many of them have not been detected.


    Under such circumstances, Bruosen was actually asked to set a time to solve the case this time, and I always felt that something was wrong.


    However, as long as he thinks about the fact that Brosen secretly contacted the reporter behind his back when he cracked the last kidnapping case that escalated into a serial murder case, all this makes sense.


    Their 14 investigation teams are the front-line operations department. The higher-ups are not blind, so how could they not see this kind of blatant dragging down of teammates.


    The superior is very angry, and the consequences are serious.


    Verinis once told Roan that Brosen joined another foundation, so it was inconvenient for the superior to expel Brosen directly.


    But afterward, it was assigned to the newly established No. 14 investigation team, and Brosen was appointed as the team leader of that investigation team. This kind of thing is easy for the superiors to do.


    The second step is to find a case with variable results afterwards, hand it over to the No. 14 investigation team, and then use words to force Brosen to set a time to solve the case...


    Thinking of this, Roan laughed.


    If Roan didn''t solve the case at that time, and Brosen recommended himself to handle the case, then the superior had to bear with it in order to deal with the reporters outside. While punishing Vernis, he would also give some of the investigation team in her hands to Brosen. .


    Then think of a way to deal with Brosen.


    But Roan successfully solved the kidnapping case that escalated into a serial murder case... This is the knife that was really stuck in Brosen''s chest and gave the superior a reason to do it.


    It is also the real reason why Brosen hates Roan so much that he wants to die. Because without Roan, he has succeeded.


    After thinking about things here, Luo Anming realized a lot.


    If he guessed correctly, Brosen will be punished 100% during the meeting, because this has been decided before.


    But after the case is handed over to someone else, the punishment after the failure to solve the case is probably far less severe than that of Brosen.


    Sure enough, half an hour later, Roan''s phone rang.


    Roan pressed the answer button, Vernis'' cold voice came from the other end of the phone:


    "Come to me, immediately."


    "Okay, sir."


    The corners of Luo An''s mouth curled up slightly, and he agreed decisively.


    Although Verinis''s voice didn''t change much, Roan could still hear the hidden excitement in his tone.


    ��


    "sit."


    After knocking on the door and entering Verinisi''s office, the other party still didn''t talk nonsense. After letting Roan sit down, he raised Erlang''s legs, leaned back, and said in a cold voice:


    "Roan, I''ve taken on this serial bank robbery."


    "Okay, sir."


    Roan nodded with a smile, showing no other expressions.


    This made Verinisi pause in what she wanted to say. After carefully looking at Luo An for a long time, Vernisi pursed her lips slightly:


    "You have a quick brain."


    Without waiting for Roan to speak, Vernis directly pulled out a folder from the desk and handed it to Roan:


    "This is the handover report of the serial bank robbery case. The No. 14 investigation team will hand over the case with your No. 5 investigation team."


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, and after receiving the file, he didn''t speak, just smiled and looked at Vernis quietly.


    Seeing this, Verinisi didn''t make any excuses, and said directly:


    "At the meeting just now, the special agent chief scolded Brosen after learning that he hadn''t solved the case within the stipulated time, and then announced on the spot that he would be transferred to the suburban branch of the FBI''s New York branch."


    Hearing the news, Luo An suddenly grinned.


    Sure enough, the head of the special agent shot Brosen.


    Seeing the expression on Roan''s face, Vernis was also in a good mood, and continued with a hook at the corner of her mouth:


    "After Brosen left the meeting room, the special agent supervisor asked our four team supervisors who could take over the case.


    Of course, the time limit to solve the case is one week.


    After the failure to solve the case, the punishment still exists, but it is only the punishment of our team leader, and has nothing to do with the grassroots detectives. "


    Seeing the corner of Vernis'' mouth raised, Roan knew that this so-called punishment must not be severe, otherwise the other party would not have such an attitude.


    And the other party specifically stated that it had nothing to do with the grassroots agents...


    Think about Brosen who was dispatched...


    Luo An instantly realized that the superior had told him this on purpose.


    "If the case is successfully solved within a week, the time to solve the case may even be shorter than a week."


    Putting away Erlang''s legs, Verinisi''s uneven body leaned forward slightly, crossed her fingers on the table, licked her lips, and looked at Luo An with narrowed eyes:


    "There is a reward."


    "..."


    Hearing Verinisi''s short words this time, and seeing the expression on the other person''s face, Roan was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on his face.


    According to the habit of the East in my previous life, the fewer words, the bigger the matter.


    The Federation doesn''t talk about this, but Vernis herself has always been straightforward and straightforward.


    The other party''s words are so short this time, so the reward after the event...


    Reminiscent of Verinisi''s superior, Roan stopped talking nonsense, and immediately nodded with a smile and agreed:


    "Okay, sir, I will definitely do my best to investigate this case."


    "Good."


    Verinis nodded, she likes a talent like Roan who knows a thing or two.

 Chapter 89： Investigation direction

    Chapter 89 Investigation Direction


    After returning to the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Luo An decisively...


    get off work.


    Anyway, Verenes told him just now that the stipulated week starts tomorrow.


    And during today''s day, Roan and Ryder participated in the activities of suppressing gangs in the morning, went to the Organized Crime Investigation Section to participate in the interrogation of Robert at noon, and went to investigate the truth about the owner of the laundry in the afternoon.


    After a busy day, there was no overtime pay for overtime work, so Luo An decisively chose to leave work.


    But this time Roan''s plan to go to Mona''s apartment to have a meal fell through.


    After thinking for a while, Roan was invited by Lacey to visit Ryder in the hospital with her.


    After confirming that the other party is fine, she can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and go to work the day after tomorrow, Lacey wanted to invite Roan to investigate the customs of New York, but Roan refused.


    Because the decoration company responsible for decorating the apartment sent another design drawing to Luo An, hoping that Luo An would go and check it out.


    "ha-"


    The next day, sitting at his desk, Roan stretched and yawned a lot.


    "Good morning! Agents!"


    With a big belly, Augustus pushed open the door of the No. 5 investigation team office area, walked in with Mona, and then shouted loudly:


    "A new day has begun! We have a new case in our hands! Everyone, cheer me up!"


    A slap on the table in Lacey''s station woke her up. Augustus looked at William and said loudly:


    "William, tell me about this serial bank robbery!"


    "Okay, sir."


    William stood up with a lot of things on his desk, picked up the top folder, and read aloud to everyone:


    ��From the beginning of last month to last week of this month, several banks were robbed a total of 6 times in Queens, Bronx and Brooklyn in New York City����


    After briefly introducing the situation of the case to everyone, William began to distribute a lot of things on the desktop to everyone in the No. 5 investigation team:


    "These are the surveillance video of the bank where the incident occurred, the statement of the bank staff and related witnesses, and the surveillance video of the area near the bank."


    Looking at these items, Roman frowned. It seemed that they were all brought by William from Investigation Team No. 14.


    "Good."


    Augus nodded on the side, looking very satisfied, took a brief look at the testimony in it, and tilted his head to look at Roan:


    "Roan, what do you think?"


    Seeing all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team looking at him, Luo An sighed, picked up the whiteboard marker, and walked to the front of the office area.


    "First of all, the first problem, we don''t know where the robbers fled after robbing the bank."


    Everyone in the No. 5 investigation team nodded. According to the data, the areas outside the banks were seriously lacking in monitoring, and the robbers disappeared completely after they escaped from the banks.


    After only one of the robberies, the surveillance at the corner of a street east of the bank recorded the robbers fleeing.


    "The second problem is the most important one."


    Roan held the whiteboard marker and continued writing while saying:


    "The moment the robbers entered the bank, they smeared the bank''s camera with black spray paint.


    Except for the third bank robbery because the bank had a hidden camera that recorded the whole process of the robbery, in the remaining five robberies, we can only restore the robbery at that time through the testimony of various eyewitnesses in the bank. The whole process of robbery. "


    "Exactly."


    All the agents nodded when they heard Roan''s words. Augustus seemed to understand something, and asked in a concentrated voice:


    "Any problem?"


    "Exactly."


    Roan pointed to the writing on the whiteboard and said:


    "The time the robbers robbed was actually only two and a half minutes.


    During this period, the robbers asked everyone inside the bank to lie on the ground without raising their heads.


    So the testimony of these witnesses after the event, most of them only talked about the clothes of the robbers and the robbery process, but they had no real contact with the robbers. "


    "No, Roan."


    Hearing this, Lacey held up the folder in her hand and said:


    "In the six robberies, except for the first and the sixth, the other four robbers took a female hostage in front of them and used them to threaten the bank security to let the security put down their guns, so the four women were actually contacted the robbers."


    "You''re right, Lacey."


    Roan nodded, but then shook his head and said:


    "But you did something wrong. In fact, it was the robbers who took the initiative to contact the four hostages, not the four hostages who took the initiative to contact the robbers."


    Hearing Luo An''s words, everyone present frowned, not understanding what the words meant.


    Seeing this, Luo An explained in a deep voice:


    "When the robber forcibly took the four female witnesses as hostages, the four female witnesses were all terrified, and their mental attention was not on the robber at all, but on the security guard of the opposite bank.


    In addition, they turned their backs to the robber and did not see the appearance of the robber clearly. The robber just pointed a gun at their heads and did not touch them personally, so they only knew that the robber was a man with great strength. Through the eyes of the mask, it is known that the other party is white and other information.


    But this information is not very useful for us to identify the robber.


    Once we catch the robbers, this information could be used in court. "


    "All right."


    After listening to Roan''s words, Lacey tilted her head and thought for a moment, but she didn''t find any problems. After she nodded hesitantly, Mona looked up and asked:


    "So, Roan, what do you mean by saying so much?"


    "The meaning is very simple."


    Roan stepped forward, put aside the testimony of all witnesses, and put aside all the surveillance videos, and then said in a deep voice:


    "The investigation process of the No. 14 investigation team is mainly based on large-scale investigations, such as the investigation of the robber''s tattoos, the investigation of the monitoring near the bank, and the questioning of relevant witnesses.


    The surveillance video of the bank, except for the hidden camera video of the third robbery, the surveillance videos of the other five times were not carefully analyzed because of their average quality and short duration.


    We need to do the opposite this time, and focus more on these five surveillance videos, witnesses�� testimonies, etc., which can be put behind. "


    "What?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona frowned suddenly, pointed at the computer screen and said:


    "You also know that the quality of the surveillance video of these banks is mediocre, and the whole process from the time the robber entered the bank to the moment the robber smeared the camera with black paint took less than ten seconds. With just such a few video clips, how could we catch the bank robber with them? bandit?"


    Augus, Lacey, William and others also frowned at Roan, and they didn''t understand why Roan did this.


    "Two reasons."


    Roan did not talk nonsense, and explained with a serious face:


    "First, large-scale investigations of such things require a lot of manpower and material resources.


    Bruosen''s investigation team on the 14th was not many people. The reason why they were able to launch a large-scale investigation in a short period of time was mainly because Bruosen mobilized his many years of contacts in order to solve this case regardless of the cost.


    Our No. 5 investigation team has only ten people, and while it is impossible to launch a large-scale investigation, no one has such contacts. "


    Augus frowned, his contacts were all in the Criminal Justice Department, and he really couldn''t help this case.


    After listening to Roan''s words, Mona and Lacey looked at each other, tilted their heads and asked:


    "What about the second?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 90： before entering the bank

    Chapter 90 Before entering the bank


    Hearing Lacey and Mona''s question, Roan coughed lightly and continued to explain:


    "Second point, in the surveillance video, we can see the most realistic physical performance and behavior of the bank robbers, rather than the secondary narrative of the witnesses at the scene.


    This is the most relevant and authentic information we can really rely on when looking for robbers.


    Of course, we are only temporarily focusing all our energy on the surveillance video to see if we can find any clues that the No. 14 investigation team has overlooked.


    We will not give up other evidence, and we will check them one by one later, it is just a matter of the order of checking. "


    "OK."


    After listening to Roan''s words, everyone nodded in understanding. Augustus didn''t talk nonsense, and just waved his hand, telling everyone to return to their workstations and start checking the surveillance video.


    There were a total of 6 bank robberies. Two robbers dressed in black, from opening the bank door to entering the bank lobby, and then one of them took out black paint and smeared the surveillance video. The whole process took less than ten seconds, even the fastest time. , only seven seconds.


    Seeing this scene, Mona''s eyelids trembled, and the rest of the people also had complicated expressions, and they all turned their eyes to Roan.


    The eyes of everyone did not affect Roan in any way. After carefully checking the surveillance video of the robbers entering the bank in the six cases, he was silent for a while, and tilted his head to look at Mona:


    "Mona, can you put these six videos on the same screen and let them play together?"


    "It''s possible, but if you do that, the video will be completely unreadable."


    Mona shook her head. It was 2005, and the computer screen was only that big. Six videos were put together, and the portraits on the screen were very crowded.


    Not only that, but the quality of the surveillance video of these banks is also very average, far from the clarity of the later generations. If you zoom in a little bit, the characters in the video will be blurred.


    "All right."


    Roan nodded, did not continue to dwell on this problem, and then began to slow down the video on the computer.


    At the same time, Roan also took out a notebook in his hand, and played the video while writing and drawing.


    Seeing that Roan was addicted to the surveillance video, Augustus patted his belly and picked up a file folder.


    "Lacey."


    Augus briefly flipped through it for a while, then turned to look at Lacey, and asked:


    "In addition to the hostages held by the robbers, the bank staff who were frightened by the information in the transparent folder also had close contact with the robbers. Did they mention the robber''s face or pupil color?"


    Hearing what Augustus said, Lacey took out the confession folder and flipped through it. After a careful look, she shook her head and said:


    "Several bank employees did mention the color of the robber''s pupils, but they can be any color, brown, black, dark brown, they all mentioned it.


    As for the face, several bank employees said that through the two holes in the eyes of the black hood, they saw that the other person''s skin was white. "


    "It seems that the threat of Mr. White Robber frightened these ladies."


    Augus shook his head when he heard Lacey''s words, but didn''t say much.


    Those bank staff are ordinary people without professional training, and it is normal for them to have memory confusion after being frightened.


    Especially the robbers threatened their families.


    "Um?"


    Thinking of the robber��s transparent file bag containing information about the family members of the bank staff, Augustus suddenly thought of something, tilted his head and asked:


    "Have you investigated the robbers, how did you know the identity information of the family members of the bank staff?"


    "The No. 14 investigation team has already checked."


    Hearing what Augustus said, William next to him pulled out a folder and spread his hands:


    "When the robbers threatened the bank staff, the bank staff''s family information provided was simply name, contact information, and home address.


    If you want to check this information, you can get it from many sources, such as hospitals, post offices, schools, restaurants, etc. The scope is too wide, and we have no way of knowing where the robbers got this information. "


    The United States has always boasted that it attaches importance to citizens'' privacy and protects citizens'' private information.


    But in fact, the United States is one of the countries that leak personal information most seriously in the world.


    "OK."


    After listening to William''s words, Augustus frowned, patted his stomach, and found the direction he could think of. The investigation team on the 14th seemed to have thought of it and conducted investigations, but in the end they didn''t find any results.


    In the final analysis, there are too few surveillance videos in the peripheral areas of the bank. As long as the robbers leave the bank, they will disappear completely.


    "I don''t know if this is a clue."


    After a long time, Mona suddenly made a sound, which attracted the attention of the three:


    "I found six robberies where bank robbers pushed open the door of the bank, some by pushing it in, some by pulling it out."


    Hearing what Mona said, Augustus and William glanced at each other, and both saw the doubt in each other''s eyes, but Lacey nodded:


    "You want to say that in one, two or four cases, the robbers pushed the bank door inwards, and in three, five or six cases, the robbers opened the bank door outwards, right?"


    "Exactly."


    Mona nodded, then tilted her head and explained to August William and others:


    "Roan had previously speculated that these six bank robberies were not committed by the same group of robbers."


    Seeing the doubts in the eyes of Augustus and Lacey, Mona briefly introduced to them what they went to investigate the laundry owner.


    "this��"


    After listening to Mona''s introduction, William was shocked by Erken''s courage, while Augustus thoughtfully, tilted his head and said:


    "If the six cases were really not committed by the same gang, it would explain why Brosen failed to solve the case."


    If there is a deviation in the direction, no matter how hard you try, you will not get the answer you want.


    Augus'' words reached Lacey''s ears, she frowned, and called up the surveillance video in the computer with a serious expression:


    "In the six cases, the way the robbers opened the door of the bank was different each time. Some pulled back and some pushed forward. Judging from this situation alone, one, two, four cases were a group of robbers, three, five, six The case was a group of robbers.


    But if you focus on the actions of the robbers spraying the camera with spray paint, 146 cases are left first and then right, and 235 cases are right first and then left..."


    Ignore the dress and other things, just from the perspective of the robber''s actions, in the six cases, although the robbers'' overall crime methods are the same, there are many differences in the details of the actions, and each time there will be a new arrangement.


    A lot of actions and a lot of permutations and combinations, it is impossible to deduce which group is responsible for which case.


    "this��"


    After listening to Lacey''s words, Mona and Augustus frowned.


    Beside the few people, Roan didn''t say a word, but the notebook in his hand had already written several pages full of text.


    The video screen on the computer was still playing slowly. Suddenly, Luo An''s pupils shrank, and suddenly he forcefully drew a circle on one of the lines of text on the notebook page.


    Mona on the side saw Roan''s movements, and hurriedly asked:


    "Roan, did you find anything?"


    "I found a few small details."


    Seeing that several people were looking at him, Roan didn''t hide anything. While adjusting the video in the computer to the corresponding position, he said:


    "Watch carefully"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 91： 15 seconds

    Chapter 91 1.5 seconds


    "Here is the scene before the robbers entered the bank."


    Luo An pointed to the first scenes of several surveillance videos.


    In the picture, two robbers wearing black clothes and black trousers, black gloves and black hoods, and a black satchel in their hands suddenly appeared from the side of the road outside the bank, and then walked quickly to the gate of the bank. forward.


    Roan slowed down the video and pointed out a small detail to Augustus and Mona:


    When the two robbers first appeared in the video, they put their hands on their chests.


    "What''s the matter, Roan?"


    Seeing this action, several people were full of doubts:


    "Isn''t this the robber''s act of cheering himself up?"


    "No."


    Roan shook his head, and slowly zoomed in on the video. When the picture quality was about to blur to the point where he couldn''t see clearly, Roan stopped.


    Then several people saw that the robber''s hands on his chest were not clenched fists, but empty hooks.


    The two robbers clasped their hands in front of their chests. They didn''t catch anything, and their movements froze for a moment. Then they put down their hands and rushed into the bank quickly.


    Seeing this scene, Mona tilted her head in doubt, Augustus was thoughtful, Lacey thought for a few seconds, her pupils trembled, and she tilted her head to look at Roan:


    "This is the movement of people who are used to wearing body armor!"


    "Exactly!"


    As soon as Lacey finished speaking, Augustus on the side slapped his big belly and came to his senses:


    ��Many people wearing full body armor will hook their hands over the body armor when chatting with others.��


    Whether it is in movies, TV dramas, or real videos on the Internet, you can see soldiers, policemen, special forces, etc. wearing heavy body armor, and some people hook their hands on top of the body armor.


    This action is often due to the fact that the fully equipped body armor is too heavy, oppressing the chest. Putting your hands on it and hooking it, pulling the body armor forward slightly can make your chest a little easier.


    Of course, there are other reasons, but in general, people who have this action are all people who need to wear full body armor frequently.


    "So, Roan, what do you mean"


    Mona on the side also thought about this truth, then covered her mouth and said in surprise:


    "These two robbers in the video are soldiers? Police? Or special forces? Special operations team?"


    After all, only these people will often wear full body armor.


    "However, this is just the picture of the first and second robberies."


    Before Roan could answer Mona''s question, Lacey frowned and said in doubt:


    "In the remaining four robberies, none of the robbers did this action."


    "You''re right, Lacey."


    Roan nodded, then explained in a deep voice:


    "But as Mona guessed, these two people are likely to be soldiers, police or other special forces.


    And the relationship between these two robbers is very likely to be comrades in arms, or they are very familiar with each other on weekdays, and they often go out on missions together. "


    Several people did not refute the inference that the robbers must be very familiar with each other.


    After all, they both robbed banks together, so it is impossible for the two to be unfamiliar with each other.


    "Let''s assume that the relationship between the two is comrades-in-arms, and then read here."


    Roan slowly pulled back the video on the computer, and adjusted it to the moment when the two robbers entered the bank. The video screen slowed down again, and continued:


    ��In the first four robberies, when the two robbers entered the bank, they were the first to shoot upwards, shocking everyone in the bank.


    Immediately afterwards, the second person rushed to the bank counter with the bag, took out the transparent packaging bag, threatened the bank staff, and told her to pack the money quickly.


    These two steps are sequential, but the speed of these two events is too fast. If there is no slow-motion video, it seems to the naked eye that they are happening at the same time. "


    "Exactly."


    Several people carefully observed the slow-motion video on the computer, and found that it was indeed the case, and nodded in unison.


    Seeing this, Roan continued:


    "That is to say, although the relationship between the two is close, there is also a leader.


    The leader of these four cases is the robber who is in charge of controlling the scene. "


    Having said that, Roan turned off the previous videos, switched to the fifth and sixth cases, and slowed down again:


    "But look at these two robberies again."


    When the video is not in slow motion, when the robbers entered the bank in these two cases, one person shot the gun to control the scene, and the other threatened the bank staff with a bag. It seems that two things happened at the same time.


    But when the video slowed down, Mona Augustus and Lexiton suddenly discovered that in the fifth case, the person in charge of the shooting subconsciously glanced at the person who was walking towards the bank staff with a bag. .


    In the sixth case, the shooter also had this subconscious action.


    "this��"


    Seeing this scene, Mona was slightly startled, Lacey frowned, and Augustus turned his head and asked:


    "You mean, in the latter two cases, the tasks between the two robbers were swapped?"


    "No, I mean, is there a possibility."


    Hearing what Augustus said, the corner of Roan''s mouth slightly raised:


    "In the first four cases, it was the same group of robbers, and in the last two cases, it was another group of robbers.


    The leader of the group of robbers in the back was actually the person who threatened the bank staff, not the person who shot. They actually just imitated the group of robbers in front. "


    "Imitation crime?"


    Augus narrowed his eyes slightly, Lacey frowned:


    "Isn''t it too absolute to make such an inference with just one action? Why can''t it be that for some reason, the robbers are still the same group, but the tasks of the two parties have been exchanged internally?"


    Before she also discovered the differences in the movements of many robbers, why Roan didn''t think those movements were different robbers.


    Lacey tilted her head in doubt.


    "Every time the robbers enter the bank, they will meet different people and different situations, so there will be some slight differences in their actions."


    Roan patiently explained:


    "But for things like robbing a bank, the positioning within the team must be clear.


    Who is the head is responsible for making plans, and who is the subordinate is responsible for specific actions. As long as this function is determined, it will not change easily.


    Especially as we have judged earlier, the first group of bank robbers is most likely to be soldiers, police or special forces. People like them pay more attention to details and will never easily switch the tasks of the two parties. "


    Lacey frowned, and before she could continue asking, Roan switched the video on the computer back to the beginning.


    ��There is another important reason why I think the bank robbers in the latter two cases are not the same group as the previous bank robbers.��


    Roan readjusted the video of the fifth robbery to the scene before the robbers entered the bank.


    The video was adjusted to slow speed, Roan pointed to the video and said:


    "Pay attention to the way these two robbers walk."


    "Um?"


    Because the bank camera is designed inside the bank lobby, and the video of the robber walking outside the bank does not exceed 1.5 seconds in total.


    So neither Lacey nor the previous No. 14 investigation team focused their attention here.


    They also observed the surveillance video before, but part of their attention was focused on the scene after the robber opened the bank door and entered the bank.


    After hearing Roan''s words this time, they focused on the video footage of the robbers before they entered the bank.


    Looking at the slow-moved video on the computer, Lacey''s pupils shrank and she slapped suddenly:


    "Shit! The way they walk is deliberately camouflaged!"

 Chapter 92： Robber is NYPD?

    Chapter 92 The robber is NYPD?


    After hearing Lacey''s words, Augustus watched the video and quickly reacted. He clapped his hands and cursed loudly with a word starting with F.


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Seeing that Mona still didn''t react, Roan called up all 6 videos, slowed down the short video before the robber entered the bank, and showed her one by one:


    If the walking posture of the bank robbers in the previous four cases outside the bank is called normal.


    Then the two robbers in the fifth and sixth cases, compared with the walking posture of the first group of robbers, their knees are more outward when they step forward.


    It wasn''t until after opening the door and breaking into the bank lobby that the walking posture of the robbers in five or six cases became similar to that of the previous four bank robbers.


    To put it simply, the fifth and sixth robbers deliberately disguised their walking posture to make their image in the surveillance video of the bank hall more similar to the previous robbers!


    After watching the surveillance video, Mona immediately covered her mouth and looked at Roan in shock.


    She never expected that Roan actually found a clue to prove the imitator of the case, and it was in a video of less than 2 seconds.


    After scolding the robber, Lacey looked at Roan with the same astonishment.


    She is different from Mona, Lacey was shocked by Roan''s carefulness and observation.


    Augus patted his big belly and grinned.


    He knew that Roan would never let him down.


    "What do we do next?"


    Silence for a while, Mona subconsciously tilted her head to look at Roan, she has been used to looking for Roan in case of trouble:


    "Even if we know there are imitators, we probably won''t be able to find each other, right?"


    The surveillance video is too short. Except for the third case, the videos of the other cases are only about ten seconds long.


    Now even if we know that the fifth case and the sixth case are really imitation crimes, the surveillance video will not be able to find any more clues.


    Unless you start to investigate the witness statements at the scene of the crime.


    But those witnesses were frightened after all, and the testimony only contained general information. Even if someone told some details, it was impossible to judge whether it was true or not.


    Lacey next to ?? frowned:


    "If the other party is imitating the crime, does that mean that this group of people is very clear about the specific circumstances of the previous cases?"


    "You''re right."


    Roan pointed to the still playing computer video and said:


    "The imitator must know the robber''s height, weight, attire, and the robber''s modus operandi.


    The interval between the fifth case and the fourth case was not long, less than a week, and the time was very fast.


    In such a short period of time, they were able to imitate the first group of robbers so much alike, they must have had a lot of practice. "


    Hearing Roan''s words, several people present nodded in unison. Lacey was silent for a moment and then whispered:


    "The only one who can clearly know the details of the previous four cases is the NYPD, except for the agents of the No. 14 investigation team."


    After the bank was robbed, they pressed the alarm bell. Although the FBI would also receive the news, it was the NYPD who arrived at the bank the first time.


    After all, they have patrolmen patrolling the streets, and maintaining order at the crime scene is also one of their jobs.


    "What?"


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Augustus''s big grinning mouth suddenly closed, and then looked at her with a serious expression:


    "you sure?"


    Charges against New York police officers are serious business.


    The New York police force is numerous, more than 30,000 people. The funding is also huge, ranking first in the entire Federation in terms of budget and expenditure for the police department.


    In addition, the police are extremely united in the face of an organization like the FBI, so unless they get 100% certain direct evidence, the FBI will not move them easily.


    "NYPD is actually just one side."


    Roan next to him shook his head. He thought that the chances of NYPD being the robber in the latter two robberies were very small:


    "In addition to the New York police, when the previous four cases occurred, the witnesses who were locked in the bank, bank staff, bank security guards, bank managers, etc., all had the possibility of committing crimes."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Augustus''s slightly frowning brows were relieved, and Lacey nodded after a moment of thought.


    Mona tilted her head and looked at Roan. Roan picked up the confessions of the fifth case and the sixth case, briefly flipped through them and said: Continue to say:


    "So our next task is to carefully investigate these people.


    See if there have been any abnormal changes in their economic levels in the recent period.


    As for the first four cases, we will investigate after we have clarified the circumstances of these two cases. "


    "OK."


    After listening to Roan''s analysis, Augustus''s **** face showed a smile, stood up on the chair with a big belly, waved at the technicians sitting behind, and shouted loudly:


    "We''re going to do some IRS work next!


    Scrutinize everyone at the scene of the first four cases! Be sure to find out their recent financial situation! "


    At the same time, Augustus did not give up on the clue of NYPD. After pondering for a moment, he turned his attention to William:


    "Go and check the case log to see which New York police officers have checked the documents of the previous four robberies. If you find abnormal times, report them to me immediately."


    "OK."


    William nodded heavily with a serious expression, turned and left the No. 5 investigation team.


    As Augustus�� arrangements fell, the entire No. 5 investigation team began to get busy, and Roan began to...


    Take a sip of coffee and continue to check the monitoring.


    More than two hours later, several technicians of the No. 5 investigation team sorted out a list of suspicious persons.


    The list is full of basic information such as height and weight, people who are similar to the robbers in the previous four robberies.


    And they had no alibi for the fifth and sixth robberies.


    The list includes witnesses to the scene of the previous four cases, including relatives of bank staff and bank security.


    "Um?"


    Seeing that there was actually the security guard who was robbed of the bank for the first time in the list, Luo An frowned slightly:


    The list shows that Freddie, the bank security guard, was a soldier when he was young. His salary in the bank was average, and his standard of living had always been average.


    Although he hasn��t bought a new car or house recently, he started going to a **** with a high consumption level after get off work.


    On the day of the fifth and sixth robberies, he asked for leave from the bank and did not go to work.


    This is something Freddie has never done before.


    Lacey on the side saw the records in the list, frowned slightly, but still tilted her head to look at Roan:


    "Do you want to check this security guard?"


    "certainly."


    Roan nodded, put away the list, got up and took Lacey to the equipment room:


    "Let''s see whether Mr. Freddie goes to a strip bar to work part-time as a security guard at night because of lack of money, or simply goes to a strip bar to enjoy the customs of New York."


    ��


    The first bank to be robbed.


    The pitch-black SUV came to a stop slowly, and Roan and Lacey, who were fully armed, got out of the car, opened the door and entered the bank, and an elderly black security guard with a puffy stomach immediately greeted them.


    "Hello, two agents."


    The elderly black security guard shook hands with Roan, stretched out his hand to lure the two into the reception area of ??the lobby, and then asked with a smile:


    "Is there anything you two need my help with?"


    After reaching out his hand and shaking each other, Roan asked directly without any nonsense:


    "Where is Freddie now? Didn''t he come to work?"


    "He went to buy coffee and should be right back."


    Hearing Roan''s question, the elderly black security guard smiled and pointed to the coffee shop diagonally opposite the bank.


    At this time, a middle-aged white man wearing a bank security uniform walked into the bank with two cups of coffee. Seeing this, the elderly black man immediately stretched out his hand and shouted:


    "Freddy! Someone''s looking for you!"


    When Roan and Lacey heard this, they immediately turned their attention to Freddy.


    Freddie saw Roan and Lacey in full armor, the smile on his face froze immediately, and without hesitation, he threw the coffee in his hand aside, turned and ran.


    "Fu-k!"


    Seeing Freddy turning and running without hesitation, Roan and Lacey Qiqi cursed secretly, and hurriedly got up and chased after him.


    There is a wide road between the outside of the bank and the coffee shop on the opposite side. When Roan and Lacey rushed out of the bank, Freddie ran across the road quickly, regardless of the danger of being hit by a car.


    "You left and I right!"


    Seeing Freddy running fast, Lacey didn''t hesitate, turned her head and said something to Roan, and ran after him.


    "OK!"


    Roan didn''t talk nonsense, and rushed out in another direction decisively.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 93： good news and bad news

    Chapter 93 Good News and Bad News


    Originally, Luo An planned to chase after him by car, after all, no one can outrun a car.


    But seeing the long queue of cars that were blocked at a red light on the road, Roan still gave up this idea.


    "FBI!"


    Roan was running fast, while yelling loudly for passers-by on the road to evade.


    Hearing the words of the FBI, the passers-by on the road subconsciously leaned aside, and then turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, all of them suddenly showed surprise.


    Because it was the first time they saw the FBI running so fast while fully armed!


    Many passers-by didn''t react. Roan blew past them like a gust of wind, leaving them with a dark back.


    Many people didn''t even see Roan''s face clearly.


    Ignoring the "Gift Crab" and "Jesus" that kept ringing in his ears, Roan ran forward at high speed, while guessing the running speed of the other party based on the back of Freddy he saw just now.


    The next second, Roan turned decisively and rushed into an alley, startling a couple looking for excitement, and under Freddy''s shocked eyes, Roan''s figure suddenly appeared in front of him.


    "Shit!"


    Startled by Roan who suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, Freddie cursed and hurriedly turned around, ready to run across the road.


    At this time, there were several children on the road who were skateboarding. Seeing this, Roan didn''t choose to pull out his gun, but borrowed the skateboard from one of the children and threw it at Freddy.


    The skateboard drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and hit Fraser on the back of the head impartially.


    Boom!


    "ah-"


    Freddie was hit by the heavy skateboard, and immediately yelled, his whole body staggered, and then fell hard to the ground.


    "Nice job! Roan!"


    At this time, Lacey also ran here quickly, and while praising Roan loudly, she grabbed Freddy''s hands, pressed her knees on Freddy''s back, took out the handcuffs, and handcuffed him.


    "you��"


    Seeing how accurately his skateboard knocked Freddy to the ground, the boy looked at Roan in shock.


    Seeing this, Roan reached out and rubbed the boy''s head, grinning:


    "Thanks for the skateboard."


    "No, I thank you, Mr. Detective!"


    The boy showed a very happy smile on his face, patted Roan''s arm vigorously, and said happily:


    ��I finally have a reason to ask my dad to get me a new skateboard!��


    Roan: "..."


    ��


    The office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    Walking into the interrogation room with Lacey, looking at Freddie who was handcuffed to a chair and had been silent since entering the interrogation room, Roan handed him a cup of coffee with a smile, and then asked with a smile:


    "How is it, Mr. Freddie, does your head still hurt?"


    Glared at Roan fiercely, Freddy, who was suffering from pain in the back of his head, didn''t answer, but picked up his coffee and took a sip.


    Then the indescribable bitterness burst into his mouth.


    "Very bitter."


    Seeing Freddie''s distorted face, Roan opened the folder in his hand and said with a smile:


    "I want to tell you more bitter news. The skateboard that knocked you down just now was broken, so you need to compensate that kid with a skateboard."


    Hearing this, Freddy''s face twitched, almost tense, and he took a deep breath to suppress the restlessness in his heart.


    Roan guessed what the other party was thinking, and then spread his hands, and continued to smile and said:


    "That kid is very sensible. He didn''t pick those expensive skateboards. He only picked a $20,000 skateboard. The money will be deducted from you later."


    "Fu-kYou!"


    Hearing this, Freddy''s lips trembled, he couldn''t hold back anymore, and cursed:


    "What skateboard is worth 20,000 dollars? Also, you smashed that skateboard! I''m the victim!"


    "It''s only $20,000, and you can afford it anyway."


    Roan shook his head with a smile, and Lacey pulled out a few photos from the folder, threw them in front of Freddy''s eyes, and asked with a serious face:


    "What''s with the money?"


    In the photo, when Lacey caught Freddy not long ago and went to his house to search for clues, she found a hundred thousand dollars in the floor under the living room table of Freddy''s house.


    The money was not recorded in any of Freddy''s bank cards, and it was hidden in such a secret way that it was obviously of unknown origin.


    Seeing the photo on the table, Freddy''s face changed, and he leaned back on the chair again, with a gloomy expression, without saying a word.


    "Don''t tell me?"


    Seeing Freddy''s expression, Lacey''s face became serious. Seeing this, Roan quickly waved his hand to interrupt his teammate''s charge. The situation was not that serious.


    Lacey tilted her head and looked at Roan, with her own doubts in her eyes:


    What are you going to do?


    The corners of Roan''s mouth hooked slightly, and he put away the photo in front of Freddy''s eyes. After coughing lightly, his eyes were fixed on Freddy''s face, but he said to Lacey:


    "This money must not have been obtained through legitimate means, so what are the improper ways for our Mr. Freddie to get one hundred thousand dollars?"


    Lacey tilted her head in confusion and didn''t answer. Freddy showed disdain, but Roan chuckled and continued:


    "It''s nothing more than selling flour, kidnapping, assassinating, robbing banks, and selling information..."


    The first few nouns did not change Freddy''s face in the slightest, especially the bank robbery, Roan frowned suddenly.


    But he continued to stare at Freddy''s face, and said calmly:


    ����gangs, scams, casinos, trafficking, bombs, murder����


    Freddy still didn��t respond to the first few terms. When Roan mentioned the bomb, Fraser��s eyes suddenly flicked to the right unnaturally, and Roan suddenly smiled:


    "So it has something to do with the bomb!"


    Hearing this, Freddy was still expressionless, but his sudden unnatural breathing rhythm, and his hesitation to change his posture made the smile on Roan''s face even bigger.


    The money in the photo just now was found by Lacey. The trace inspection department did not search Freddy''s home.


    So Roan put away the folder, got up and looked at Freddy, and said calmly:


    "OK, the interrogation is over, contact the trace inspection department and let them search Freddy''s home immediately.


    As long as there is a bomb, or traces of the bomb''s raw materials..."


    Speaking of this, Roan suddenly slapped the table heavily.


    Boom!


    The loud voice not only startled Lacey, but also shook Fraser''s body, who lowered his head and hesitated, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Roan.


    At this moment, there was no smile on Luo An''s face, the coldness in his eyes was clearly visible, and his voice was also extremely cold:


    "During the law enforcement process, Mr. Fraser not only resisted the FBI''s law enforcement very much, but also refused to answer the FBI''s questions during the interrogation. His attitude was extremely stubborn and stubborn.


    I will tell the judge all these things, if there is no accident, you will spend the rest of your life in the most "safe" prison in the Federation..."


    Hearing this, Fraser''s expression suddenly changed.


    Just as Roan and Lacey walked out of the interrogation room and immediately closed the door of the interrogation room, Freddy finally couldn''t take it anymore, and hurriedly shouted:


    "I can answer your questions!"


    Lacey raised her lips, and just as she was about to turn around and go back into the interrogation room, Roan grabbed the door of the interrogation room, ignored Freddy, and directly closed the door heavily.


    Boom!


    Hearing the faint shouts coming from the interrogation room, Lacey, who had already thought clearly, smiled and patted Roan''s arm:


    "Roan, your trick is too old!"


    "It doesn''t matter if you are old or not, as long as it works!"


    Roan shrugged. Unless Freddy was prepared to spend the rest of his life in prison before being caught, he wouldn''t dare to gamble his own fate on the truth of what Roan said.


    Obviously, one hundred thousand dollars is not enough for Freddy and Roan to gamble the rest of their lives.


    More than an hour later, Lacey and Mona came out of the interrogation room.


    Lacey threw a folder to Roan, stretched vigorously, and said calmly:


    "Freddie wasn''t the robber in the fifth and sixth bank robberies.


    When those two cases happened, he was discussing bomb making with a group of people and had no time to commit crimes.


    Of course, in order to prove that what he said is true, Freddy is willing to assist us in arresting those who want to make bombs. "


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, reached out and entered the information of the person who made the bomb that Freddy said into the computer, and a picture of a wanted criminal suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.


    Seeing the string of numbers below the wanted criminal, Roan smiled and shouted to the agents on the side:


    "Guys! The bad news is, Freddie is not a bank robber!


    The good news is, we''re getting another big bonus this week! "


    Hearing what Luo An said later, all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team grinned.


    Just when Roan was about to continue to say something, Mona suddenly pulled Roan''s arm and whispered in his ear:


    "Roan, there is something new."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 94： actor?

    Chapter 94 Actor?


    "Um?"


    Hearing this, Roan tilted his head for a moment, Mona patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:


    "Freddy regrets it very much now. After learning that we are investigating a bank robbery, he said that he can tell some clues and hopes that we will be in front of the judge later..."


    Seeing Mona''s mouth raised and her hands spread out, Roan showed a sunny smile on her face.


    "Listen first before speaking."


    It was about a bank robbery case. Regardless of whether the news was true or not, it was okay to listen to it. Roan didn''t hesitate, got up and went back to the interrogation room with Mona.


    In the interrogation room, Freddy, who was being handcuffed, had an extremely complicated expression on his face.


    After that bank robbery, Freddie almost lost his job.


    Although I kept my job, my wages were deducted.


    Because he was deducted from his wages and was forced by life, Freddie agreed to the group of bombers.


    When I saw the FBI, I thought they were catching me because of the bomb, so Freddy turned around and ran away without thinking...


    As a result, during the interrogation just now, Freddy suddenly learned that the reason why the FBI came looking for him was actually the bank robbery not long ago!


    "Biaozi raised it!"


    "Shit!"


    Freddy sat on a chair with a grim face, and greeted the bank robber and his family non-stop with traditional American elegant words.


    For those two bank robbers, Freddie''s eagerness to catch each other is more urgent than Roan''s.


    Even Freddy wanted to ask Roan, which prison the bank robbers would be sent to after they were caught, and whether they had a chance to meet or something.


    The door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and as soon as Roan walked in with Mona, Freddy said eagerly:


    "To what extent have you investigated now? Have you identified any specific suspects?"


    "..."


    Roan, who was sitting on the chair, was taken aback by Freddy''s words, but when he realized that Freddy asked the reason for such words, he couldn''t laugh or cry in his heart.


    But Roan''s face didn''t show it. After opening the folder, he asked calmly:


    "Freddie, now I''m asking you, not you asking me, OK?"


    "OK! OK!"


    Hearing what Roan said, Freddy nodded again and again, and then said directly:


    "There are definitely more than two robbers who robbed the bank!"


    Freddie only knew that there were six bank robberies in total, and didn''t know that the fifth and sixth cases were done by other people.


    And when the first bank robbery happened, Freddie happened to be the security guard that day.


    So what Freddy said was his direct witness at the scene when the robbery happened.


    "More than two people?"


    Hearing what Freddy said, Roan frowned, raised his head and asked:


    "What do you mean by this sentence?"


    "The two robbers that day, after obliterating the surveillance in the bank lobby, checked their mobile phones many times!"


    Freddie changed into a more comfortable position, and said in a deep voice:


    ��After the robber with the pistol threatened me to put down the pistol with the voice on the mobile phone, I looked in the mirror next to the robber and saw that the mobile phone in his hand had received two text messages.


    I didn��t see the specific content of the text message, but I saw that after the robber read the message, the order in which he pressed the keyboard when replying to the message was ��everything is going well��. "


    After listening to Freddy''s description, Roan frowned, and Mona tilted her head to ask:


    "In the statement at the scene of the crime, you didn''t seem to have said this."


    "No, I said that."


    Freddy shook his head, saying that the person who was in charge of recording his statement that day was a rookie in NYPD, and the other party did not believe his words.


    Originally, Freddy planned to argue with the other party, but at that time the bank manager called him. Freddy didn''t dare to offend the bank manager, so he gave up the idea of ??theory, glared at the rookie, turned and left there.


    Mona turned her head to look at Roan. Seeing Roan bowed her head in thought, she tapped a pen on the table and asked with a serious face:


    "Do you have any other evidence?"


    "Gone."


    Freddy shook his head, but then said that what he said was true, there must be other accomplices behind the group of bank robbers.


    "All right."


    Recording this information in a notebook, Roan was silent for a moment, did not express any opinion on this information, but asked casually:


    "Freddy, do you have anyone to suspect about these two bank robbers?"


    "have!"


    Hearing what Roan said, Freddy said firmly:


    ��Before this bank robbery, the bank fired a bank manager and I seriously doubt that person!��


    According to Freddy''s description, the first bank to be robbed had a white manager named Owen who was about the same size as the robber some time ago.


    "That Owen is like an actor every day, holding two photos and discussing his family with the employees in the bank, always talking about how happy his family is and how much his wife loves him..."


    Mentioning the bank manager, Freddy spit out sour water:


    "But who in the bank doesn''t know that Owen goes to the bar to drink and hunt every day after get off work, and doesn''t go home at all..."


    "OK."


    Roan wrote down Owen''s name in his notes, and asked Freddy a few more questions, until the other party really couldn''t say anything useful, then turned around and took Mona out of the interrogation room.


    "It seems that Freddie is very upset with that Owen."


    Walking out of the interrogation room, Mona was speechless.


    Later, when Roan asked Freddy other questions, Freddy would miraculously bring the topic back to Owen.


    "Maybe it''s jealousy, or other work conflicts."


    Roan replied casually, stretched his waist after returning to the work station, and continued to say to Mona:


    "But still check this Owen, the other party is more or less suspicious.


    Simply check where Owen was when the six cases occurred, and whether there is any alibi. "


    "no problem."


    Throwing the notebook aside, Mona nodded, and began typing on the keyboard with her ten fingers.


    Lacey on the side slowly came over, picked up the interrogation record recorded by Mona and looked at it, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she tilted her head to look at Roan:


    "This Owen..."


    Roan looked down at the notebook in his hand, leaned on his chin in thought and did not reply.


    "It doesn''t take much time to check more."


    Mona, who tapped the keyboard, replied casually:


    "Maybe with luck, this Owen happens to be the robber."


    "All right."


    Lacey nodded, no one can tell about luck, and what Mona said is not impossible.


    A few minutes later, Mona suddenly pushed the keyboard forward and spread her hands:


    "Well, I was wrong, it seems we are not very lucky.


    After being dismissed by the bank for business reasons, Owen left the Federation by plane and never came back from the European countries. "


    Looking at the ticket records on the computer screen, Lacey shrugged, saw the list of suspicious persons compiled by the previous technicians, and held it up:


    "There are more than a dozen people on this list, should we check them one by one?"


    Mona heard this and was about to say something when Roan, who had pondered for a long time, suddenly drew a circle again in his notebook.


    "Roan, what did you find?"


    Seeing this, Mona and Lacey, Qiqi cast their eyes on Roan. Roan didn''t talk nonsense, just nodded and said in a deep voice:


    "The words Freddy used to describe Owen just reminded me.


    You said, the group of imitators and robbers in the fifth and sixth cases, would their real profession be actors? "


    "actor?"


    Hearing this, Mona and Lacey Qiqi were stunned.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 95： New ideas and new clues

    Chapter 95 New Ideas and New Clues


    "That''s right, it''s an actor."


    Luo An nodded, seeing the doubts on the faces of the two, replayed the video on the computer, and explained with a serious expression:


    "As you have seen before, in the fifth case and the sixth case, the two robbers deliberately disguised their walking posture.


    But the walking posture is not so easy to disguise, unless you have received special training. "


    It is completely possible to change a person''s walking posture after a long period of planning.


    But imitating someone else''s walking posture is a whole other matter, far more difficult than changing your own walking posture.


    The gap between the fifth robbery and the fourth robbery is less than a month.


    In such a short period of time, I was able to imitate my walking posture into the surveillance, and without careful observation, I couldn''t find the difference between them and the previous robbers.


    Except for special talents in certain departments, this kind of person can only be realized by actors who have undergone systematic training.


    After listening to Roan''s words, Lacey lowered her head and thought. Mona took the list and was about to speak when Augustus suddenly walked over.


    Seeing this, Mona took advantage of the situation and told Augustus about Roan''s analysis just now.


    After listening to Mona''s words, Augustus patted his stomach and looked at Roan solemnly:


    "So, we are going to check this list next, people who have acting experience?"


    "Exactly."


    Roan nodded and added a sentence along the way:


    "Not only the people on the list, but also those witnesses who are not on the list, it is best to check again."


    "OK."


    Augus nodded, and immediately got up and arranged for the technicians of the No. 5 investigation team to re-investigate the witnesses of the previous four cases.


    Immediately afterwards, Augustus patted Roan on the shoulder, signaling Roan to come to his office.


    In the team leader''s office, Luo An sat down.


    "I went to a meeting just now and got a new message."


    Augus sat on a chair, took a sip of coffee and said to Roan:


    "After Brosen left the building, the investigation team No. 14 was not dismissed."


    Hearing this, Roan was taken aback for a moment, then realized something, frowned, and asked tentatively:


    "The leader of the investigation team No. 14, is that Matthews?"


    Augus nodded:


    "That''s right, it''s him."


    "this��"


    Getting an affirmative answer from Augustus, Roan scratched his head immediately.


    Since Vernis told Roan last time that he finally took over the serial bank robbery, Roan has always believed that the No. 14 investigation team is a hole dug for Brosen by his superiors.


    Bruosen left, this hole will naturally be filled.


    But now this investigation team still exists, and it is completely controlled by that Matthews...


    Thinking of this, Roan was startled, looked up at Augustus, and asked in a low voice:


    "This Matthews, is the special supervisor agent Corbett?"


    Special Agent in Charge: Corbett, a white middle-aged male with a gray beard and a little Mediterranean.


    He is the superior of the four team supervisors of Verinisi and the others. In the New York branch of the FBI, his status is the same as that of the other special agent supervisor, second only to the director and deputy director.


    It was also the person who dug a hole and buried Bruosen himself by taking advantage of Roan''s successful solution last time.


    If Matthews is really from Corbett, then Matthews is hiding too deeply...


    Roan frowned.


    Augus was very satisfied with Roan''s reaction speed, but shook his head and said:


    "I don''t know about this matter, after all, I''m just the leader of the investigation team."


    Roan frowned, just about to continue to ask something, Augustus leaned back directly, his face was calm, and he said calmly:


    "But you don''t have to worry about this, Roan."


    "Um?"


    Hearing this, Roan frowned and looked up.


    Seeing Augustus''s slightly raised mouth, Roan reacted after being silent for a few seconds, and smiled again on his face.


    He really doesn''t have to worry about this Matthews.


    Matthews is the leader of the No. 14 investigation team, and he has no authority over Roan of the No. 5 investigation team.


    If you really want to do that, Augustus will not be able to pass this test.


    Not only that, Matthews is 99% afraid to do such things as stumbling in the later process of solving the case.


    Browson''s lessons learned before his eyes, plus Vernis has been paying attention to Roan, and Roan also got special agent Corbett''s eyes because of the serial murder case.


    In this case, there is a high probability that Matthews will only mock Roan behind his back, and will not really do anything to Roan.


    Thinking of this, Roan showed a sunny smile on his face:


    "I see, thank you sir."


    "Good."


    Augus nodded in satisfaction, then briefly asked about the progress of the serial bank robbery case, and then waved his hand to signal Roan that he could leave the office.


    "It feels like someone is covering the needle and the needle doesn''t poke."


    Walking out of the team leader''s office, Roan glanced at the direction of the office area of ??the No. 14 investigation team, and grinned.


    "Roan!"


    Before Roan could continue recalling the information about Matthews in his mind, Mona in the office suddenly waved her hand, signaling Roan to hurry over.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Roan walked to Mona and turned his gaze to the computer, only to hear Mona say:


    "I just checked the bank staff and bank security guards in the previous four robberies. None of them have any experience in learning acting."


    Hearing this, Roan frowned.


    Lacey on the side also took the report handed over by the technician at this time, looked at it briefly, raised her head and said to Roan:


    "Those New York citizens who went to the bank to handle business, but were forced to become hostages because of the robbers, did not have the experience of learning acting."


    Several technicians of the No. 5 investigation team checked the basic information of some people, and the speed was not ordinary.


    Hearing this, Luo An sat back on the chair at his station, frowned, and checked the video on the computer again.


    "It''s okay, Roan."


    Seeing the expression on Roan''s face, Lacey smiled slightly, patted his head, and comforted him in a low voice:


    "Finding the wrong clue is a normal thing, just go back and change your thinking and re-analyze.


    We just broke up a bomb case that may appear in a while, it��s not a loss..."


    "That''s not enough to get me down, Lacey."


    Roan twisted his body, avoiding Lacey''s hand slapping his head, and replied helplessly:


    "I''m just wondering if I''ve overlooked something."


    Mona on the side heard this, her ten fingers continued to dance on the keyboard, and she casually replied:


    "We have all watched these short and broken videos so many times, what can we ignore?"


    "Exactly."


    Lacey nodded. When Roan heard this, he suddenly noticed something, and immediately raised his eyebrows:


    "What about the video itself?"


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Lacey tilted her head in doubt.


    "Mona''s words reminded me that these videos have their own problems!"


    Roan threw the pen in his hand on the table, his eyes flickering:


    "Since the robbers in the fifth and sixth robberies are the gangsters in the first four robberies simulated, they must know the figure and movement of the robbers in the first four robberies!"


    "you mean,"


    Hearing this, Mona also reacted suddenly, and said in surprise:


    "The robbers in these two cases may have seen these videos!"


    "Exactly!"


    Roan clapped his hands, nodded heavily, and then said:


    "But except for the third robbery, the videos of the other three robberies are too short, there is no need to check it, so..."


    "So, these two imitators must have checked the complete crime video of the robber recorded by the hidden camera in the third robbery case!"


    Lacey also reacted at this time, exclaiming:


    "The robber is among the witnesses in the third robbery!"


    "Not necessarily the witness himself!"


    Roan grabbed the list on the desk and said with a serious face:


    ��We have always paid more attention to the witnesses at the scene of the crime, but ignored their family members, relatives and friends.


    Don''t forget that these people also have the opportunity to learn about the specifics of these cases! "


    Hearing Luo An''s words, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team was stunned.


    Without hesitation, he immediately focused his attention on the relatives and friends of the witnesses at the scene of the crime, and at the same time checked the financial situation of these people.


    Soon, Mona exclaimed:


    "Roan! Come to me quickly!"

 Chapter 96： arrest suspect

    Chapter 96 Arrest of Suspects


    When Roan heard this, he hurried to Mona''s side.


    On Mona''s computer screen was the identity information of one of the bank''s account managers named Namit in the third bank robbery.


    The so-called account manager is another kind of sales that recommends deposits and loans to customers, as well as other businesses.


    When the third robbery happened, this Namit happened to be in the office on the side of the bank lobby, recommending some kind of financial product to an old man.


    After briefly reading Namit''s information, Roan tilted his head and asked:


    "What''s wrong with this person?"


    "This Namit''s wife has a younger brother."


    Fingers flying on the keyboard, the relationship of the account manager named Namit was quickly called up.


    Among them, the younger brother of Namit''s wife came into the eyes of the two of them. Mona pointed to the identity information of this person and said:


    "Namit''s wife''s younger brother, named Brandon, studied music arts and performance in college.


    Later, this guy was first warned by the school for selling leaves and flour in the school, and later because of fighting and shooting other students in the school, he was expelled from the school before graduation. "


    Seeing the information in the computer, Luo An grinned suddenly.


    This guy was obviously born in the wrong era.


    If he was born more than ten years later, selling leaves and flour in college is not a problem at all.


    As for the shooting at the school... if Brandon later said that he has certain diseases that occur at certain times, and he is a gender minority.


    Just get some special talent to handle it, and maybe Brandon won''t get fired at all, and maybe get a scholarship.


    "This guy had the acting experience you mentioned earlier, so I looked up his relationships."


    Mona went on to explain:


    "When the fifth case and the sixth case happened, Namit was working at the bank and had no time to commit crimes, so he would not be one of the robbers.


    So I started to check the relatives and friends around Brandon, and I found out that this guy named Dilano grew up with Brandon.


    But Dilano did not go to college, but went to the army after graduating from high school. Later, for unknown reasons, he left the army and returned home.


    Since returning home, Dilano has been imprisoned six times for drunken injury and twice for drunk driving, and he just got out of prison some time ago. "


    Seeing these materials, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly:


    "After the incident, the FBI only copied a surveillance video from a hidden camera, and the bank itself still has the surveillance itself.


    As Namit''s manager, it is not a problem to secretly copy a surveillance video after the FBI and NYPD left.


    This Brandon and Dilano can completely get the surveillance video through Namit. "


    "Exactly."


    Lacey and Mona Qiqi nodded.


    Roan carefully checked the information in the computer for a while, touched his chin and asked:


    "Is there any other information? With these things alone, we can''t directly lock them, after all, they are all indirect evidence."


    "have!"


    As soon as Luo An finished speaking, Mona nodded, her fingers fluttered on the keyboard, and then she pointed to the newly appeared information on the computer and said:


    "There is an ice cream shop in Dilano''s house, which almost closed down some time ago.


    But recently, these ice cream shops suddenly began to close down for reorganization and renovation without bank loans, sales to others, and no capital injection from others...


    Not only that, that Brandon recently bought a new car with full payment, which he couldn''t afford at all given his economic level. "


    ��Ice cream parlors are also prone to money laundering.��


    Seeing the photo of Brandon buying a new car on the computer and the smiling face in the photo of Dilano''s identity information, Roan nodded without hesitation. He immediately got up and went to the equipment warehouse, and at the same time said to Lacey:


    "Notify SWAT, we will go chat with these two talents now!"


    ��


    The operation was divided into three groups. Mona was responsible for arresting the account manager Namit, Lacey was responsible for arresting Brandon, and Roan was responsible for arresting Dilano.


    Three of them have the support of SWAT action team members behind them.


    According to the credit card records, Dilano held a party at home today, and Brandon also went to attend, so Lacey and Roan went to Dilano''s home together.


    The pitch-black SUV is galloping on the road.


    Lacey, who was sitting in the co-pilot, touched the seat belt on her chest, tilted her head to look at Roan, who was still dressed in a plate armor vest + shock bombs + extended magazine clips, and after taking a deep breath, Lacey asked:


    "Roan, can you drive a little slower? Body armor can''t help you resist the damage caused by a car accident!"


    "Trust my skills, Lacey."


    Roanne turned the steering wheel and steered the SUV into the next intersection while grinning:


    "And there are still a few hours before we get off work.


    Hurry up and catch the robbers and get off work quickly. Don''t leave today''s things until tomorrow. This is a correct concept of life. "


    Hearing what Roan said, the corners of Lacey''s mouth twitched. Just as she was about to continue to say something, Roan directly parked the car to the side of the road, turned around and smiled at her:


    "OK, here we are."


    Lacey: "��"


    The place where Dilano lives at this time is located in the upper part of Brooklyn. It is a beautiful second-floor apartment.


    In the apartment at this time, there are a group of men and women in cool clothes. While dancing to the sound of music, as long as they have a happy chat, they will occasionally go to the upstairs bedroom to interact and discuss their body structure.


    "Brothers and sisters!"


    Amidst the deafening music, Brandon held a protruding white girl in his arms, raised a bottle of beer in his right hand, and shouted loudly. After attracting the attention of everyone present, the other finger To Dilano:


    "Let''s thank the hosts of the party!


    Thanks to my good brother Dilano! Such a perfect party! "


    "To Dilano!"


    Hearing Brandon''s words, the men and women in the villa cheered together, picked up the wine in their hands, raised it to Dilano who was standing at the stairs of the villa, and then all raised their heads, ready to drink the wine in their hands And do.


    at this time��


    Boom!


    "FBI!!"


    The deafening sound of the door collapsing and the slogan of the FBI startled everyone present.


    By the time they all turned their eyes to the direction of the sound, the heavily armed SWAT team members had already rushed into the villa with weapons in their hands, and surrounded everyone present.


    "ah-"


    Suddenly, the young girls present showed everyone how high a human voice can be.


    Roan, who was fully armed, entered the hall of the villa. Seeing this scene, he picked up a flowerpot by the wall and smashed it to the ground without saying a word.


    Boom!


    The sound of the flower pot being smashed attracted the attention of the men and women present. Seeing this, Roan hooked the corner of his mouth, and shouted with a cold face:


    "This operation has nothing to do with most of you, don''t get injured by your own actions!


    Now, the man stands on the left! The woman stands on the right! The other gender stands in the middle! "


    When they cast their eyes on Roan, some of the girls who were still showing their voices stopped singing hastily.


    The rest of the girls who were still showing their voices were pulled by their arms by their companions, and after carefully looking at Roan''s face, they also stopped showing their voices instantly.


    After hearing Roan''s words, these girls were more active than the men present, and ran to the right side of the living room closer to Roan.


    Lacey, who was standing behind Roan, saw this scene, and snorted uncomfortably, pushed Roan aside, looked at the men in the living room and asked:


    "Where''s Brandon?"


    Originally, I was very puzzled as to why the FBI would raid the crowd here. Hearing Lacey''s words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then Qiqi turned his attention to Brandon, who was hiding in the corner of the crowd, trying to hide his presence with his head down.


    "Good."


    After complimenting the good brothers in the living room, Lacey pulled Brandon out of the crowd, took out the handcuffs and handcuffed him.


    Seeing so many guns in the hall of the villa, although Brandon drank a little too much, he hesitated for a while and still didn''t dare to resist.


    But he kept yelling that the FBI was arresting people, that he had never done anything, and so on.


    Seeing this, Luo An didn''t talk nonsense, and asked in a cold voice:


    "Where''s Dylano?"


    Brandon heard the words, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but he still shook his head pretending to be calm:


    "I have no idea!"


    Everyone in the hall looked left and right, but they didn''t find Dilano.


    At this moment, several SWAT team members came down from the second floor with a few men and women wearing only jackets and shorts, shook their heads and said to Roan:


    "I didn''t find it upstairs."


    Several heavily armed SWAT players also came up from the stairs in the basement at this time, shaking their heads:


    "Neither in the basement."


    Lacey frowned when she heard this. They were outside the villa just now, and they clearly heard the shouts of this group of people.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 97： Fifth and sixth robberies solved

    Chapter 97 The Fifth and Sixth Robbery Cases Solved


    Roan did not hesitate, turned around and walked to the periphery of the villa, looked at the SWAT team members who were in charge of surrounding the villa and asked:


    "Did someone rush out just now?"


    "NO."


    The SWAT team members who were in charge of surrounding the perimeter of the villa patted their chests and assured that no one left the villa just now.


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, and after looking at the villa for a few seconds, he turned around and said in a deep voice:


    "Send a police dog here."


    "no problem."


    The SWAT team members nodded and turned to leave immediately.


    In the villa, Lacey is contacting the NYPD police, asking them to send a few patrolmen to help, and to make a brief record of these men and women in the villa.


    Seeing Roan re-enter the villa, Lacey briefly chatted with the other party, promised to see you at the hotel tonight, then hung up the phone and walked to Roan, and asked in a concentrated voice:


    "Dilano is not in the villa, what should we do next?


    Hearing the faint female voice before hanging up the phone, Luo An''s mouth twitched.


    Taking a deep breath, as if this had never happened, Roan pointed to the villa and said:


    "There is a high probability that there is a hidden room in this villa, and Dilano may be hiding there now."


    This is the memory of the last raid on the Hyena Gang mission, and it brought Roan an idea.


    "OK."


    Lacey frowned, and just about to continue to say something, the SWAT team walked in with a black police dog.


    Seeing this, Luo An didn''t talk nonsense, led the police dog into the upstairs master bedroom, opened the closet and pulled out a shirt, put it on the police dog''s nose and let it smell it.


    "Find the owner of this dress!"


    "Wow!"


    After smelling the shirt, the black police dog bit loudly a few times, turned around twice, and rushed out of the room immediately.


    Roan and Lacey followed the police dog, and saw the police dog rushing downstairs, circled around the living room a few times, and then went straight to the garage connected to the villa.


    "Woof! Woah! Woah!"


    In the southwest corner of the garage, a black police dog howled towards the closet in the garage.


    "Good job!"


    Roan rubbed the head of the police dog with a smile on his face, then carefully checked the closet, and turned back and said:


    "Wooden wall cabinets on the surface, but the actual bottom is metal."


    Hearing this, Lacey didn''t hesitate, and immediately turned and left with the police dog:


    "I''ll go get the tools right away."


    After a long time, the men and women in the villa were all recorded their statements by a few patrolmen who came here temporarily.


    Keep yelling that he is the wronged Brandon, and was escorted back to the No. 5 investigation team by two SWAT team members, and handed over to William and others for interrogation.


    buzz buzz��


    In the garage, golden sparks burst out around the closet. A SWAT team member was holding a cutting machine and cut a square around the closet.


    A few minutes later, the SWAT team members slowly stopped the cutting machine, turned around and gestured an "OK" gesture to Roan and Lacey standing aside.


    "Okay, thanks for your hard work."


    Seeing this, Roan smiled and nodded with the other party.


    After the SWAT team left the garage with the cutting machine, Roan didn''t talk nonsense, took out the Glock 18, and stood on both sides of the cut square with Lacey.


    The two looked at each other and counted down to three. Without hesitation, Roan kicked the cut square into it.


    At the same time, the moment the metal door was kicked open, Roan also threw a shock bomb inside.


    Boom!


    In the second after the shock bomb exploded, Roan broke into the hidden room behind the metal door in a fighting posture with incomparable speed.


    Hiding in the room, Dilano, whose face was a little red from drinking, had a leather bag stuffed in his arms, was hunched over, holding a pistol, and hid by the side of the door.


    The sound from the cutting machine was a torment for Dilano every second.


    When he heard the voice of the FBI just now, he immediately ran here.


    Because there are not only the guns, money and other supplies he prepared in advance, but Dilano also plans to hide here for a while, and after the FBI leaves the villa, he will find a way to escape with the money.


    But what he never expected was that this group of FBIs used police dogs without any morals, and discovered this hidden room so quickly!


    But Dilano didn''t panic at first, because he had a pistol.


    Dilano felt that if the other party broke in directly, he might have a chance to hold the other party hostage and try to find a way later.


    What he didn''t expect again was that before the other party entered the room, he actually threw a shock bomb!


    "Damn the FBI!"


    Dilano cursed at the moment he saw the shock bomb.


    Boom!


    After the shock bomb exploded, Dilano felt dizzy and had a severe pain in his internal organs. It was as if his eyes and ears had been pricked by needles, and he almost passed out completely.


    But after feeling that someone had broken into the room, he still suppressed his body and collapsed on the ground, tremblingly raised his right hand holding the pistol, ready to pull the trigger towards the door.


    Roan''s reaction speed was faster than him. When he broke into the hidden room, he immediately noticed Dilano hiding in the corner, and also noticed the pistol in the opponent''s hand.


    So seeing that the opponent was paralyzed on the ground and ready to shoot, Roan didn''t hesitate, his face turned cold, he decisively raised the Glock 18, and pulled the trigger towards the opponent''s two arms.


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    "Roan!"


    Hearing the gunshots coming from inside, Lacey''s face suddenly changed.


    "ah-"


    The next second, a scream that did not belong to Roan came from the hidden room.


    Dylano, who was shot twice in each arm, bleeding profusely, appeared in front of Lacey, who was lying on the ground.


    "Hoo��"


    Lacey breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, directly took out the handcuffs, and handcuffed Dilano''s **** hands behind his back.


    "Call an ambulance immediately!"


    Handing Dilano, who had fallen into a coma, to the SWAT team members outside, Mona heaved a sigh of relief, and looked back at Roan with a relaxed smile on her face:


    "Nice job, Roan!


    Next, we just need to search all the places where the two of them live and see if we can find the stolen dollars! "


    "I''m afraid I have found some of the stolen dollars."


    Hearing this, Roan showed a smile on his face, and brought the leather bag that Dilano had just pressed under him to Lacey.


    Seeing the doubt in Lacey''s eyes, Roan exerted a little force, and the purse was instantly ripped open, and several stacks of US dollars lay quietly inside.


    If it was just these dollars, Roan would not have identified Dilano as a bank robber.


    But the pistol Dilano used just now is exactly the same as the pistol used by the two robbers later.


    Bending down to put away the pistol, Roan smiled and said to Lacey:


    "Next, it''s the turn of the trace inspection department."


    ��


    "Nice job! Roan!"


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Augustus, who hung up the phone after learning that the trace inspection department initially judged that the pistol in Dilano��s hand was basically the same as the one used by the robbers in the fifth and sixth shooting cases lol.


    Even Roan saw his back molars.


    "It''s everyone''s credit, sir."


    Luo An shook his head. Although he led the case this time and provided the overall idea, all the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team gave full play to their abilities during the whole process of solving the case.


    "certainly!"


    Augus nodded, he likes people like Roan who know how to share credit.


    Patted Roan on the shoulder, Augustus announced loudly under the surprise eyes of all the agents:


    "Everyone''s bonus next week will be doubled!


    At the same time, I will apply for a day off from my superiors! "


    Hearing this, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team exclaimed in unison. Just about to applaud happily, Augustus suddenly gasped:


    "But only if you can also catch the bank robbers who did the previous four robberies this week."


    "What?"


    Hearing this, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team turned pale.


    Augus laughed when he saw this, and was about to continue to say something, when Detective William, who was previously assigned to interrogate the robber Brandon, came over suddenly and said in a deep voice:


    "Everyone, after the interrogation just now, Brandon has admitted that he is the robber in the next two cases.


    But in order to obtain a reduced sentence, he said he knew who the robbers were in the previous four robberies. "


    Hearing this, the agents of the No. 5 investigation team were stunned for a moment, and then they all turned their eyes to Augustus.


    Augustus: "..."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 98： The truth and new clues from the robbers

    Chapter 98 The truth and new clues from the robbers


    "Poof��"


    Seeing the froze expression on Augustus'' face, Lacey next to him couldn''t help laughing.


    Roan is different. After all, he has received special training, no matter how funny things are...


    Laugh out loud.


    Standing aside, Roan grinned, with a sunny smile on his face, but he didn''t make a sound.


    "you��"


    Seeing Augustus turn his gaze to himself, as soon as the other party spoke, Roan immediately put away the smile on his face, and nodded with a serious face:


    "Okay, sir, I understand, I''m going to interrogate Brandon."


    Seeing the tall and straight Roan, leading Lacey, who was covering her mouth, to the interrogation room, Augustus opened his mouth, tilted his head and gave William a final look, and walked back to the team leader''s office with a cold snort.


    William stood where he was, with a dazed expression on his face.


    ��


    Interrogation room.


    Brandon, who was handcuffed to the chair at this time, had an ugly face and kept rubbing his fingers.


    "It seems that you have sobered up."


    Sitting on the chair, Roan nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that Lacey had prepared a notebook, he coughed lightly and said:


    "Brandon, you said before that you knew the identity of the robbers in the previous cases? Now you can say it."


    After capturing Brandon and Dilano, Roan and Lacey not only found dollar bills and pistols in Dilano''s place, but also found some money hidden in the safe when they searched Brandon''s house. US dollars, and the same style of mobile phone as the two robbers.


    In addition, when the fifth and sixth cases occurred, neither Brandon nor Dilano could provide an alibi, which was enough evidence for the FBI to convict them.


    What''s more outrageous is that the IRS, who didn''t know where they learned about this matter, jumped out and expressed the hope that the FBI could hand over these two people to them.


    The reason is simple: these two people did not pay taxes after robbing the bank...


    Fortunately, Vernis was standing in the front, otherwise Roan really didn''t know how weird this matter would be.


    "OK."


    Knowing that Brandon took a deep breath, he said in a deep voice:


    "Let me first talk about the history of these two cases."


    The account manager of the bank, Namit, had a failed marriage before marrying Brandon''s sister.


    Because of this marriage, Namit needs to pay a monthly maintenance fee to his ex-wife and children.


    This money has been a headache for Namit.


    After the third robbery, Namit found that if the robbers followed the operation of the robbers, the success rate of bank robbery was very high.


    After pondering for a long time, Namit finally found Brandon with the video.


    At this time, Brandon had no job and was short of money. After watching the video, Brandon hesitated for a few hours, and finally nodded and agreed.


    But Namit has a big belly, and the gap between his external image and the two robbers is a bit big, so Brandon thought of his good brother who was just released from prison and also short of money: Dilano.


    After Dilano learned about this, he agreed more decisively. After watching the video in the morning, he went to buy black clothes, black pants and other props in the afternoon.


    "Stop, Brandon."


    Hearing that Brandon said that Namit was the real mastermind of the next two cases, Roan raised his eyebrows.


    What a good brother-in-law.


    But he didn''t entangle this topic too much, anyway, they will interrogate Namit later.


    The reason why Brandon was interrupted was because the other party became more and more biased. Roan picked up a pen and knocked on the table, and said with a serious face:


    "I just want to know one thing now, and that is who the robbers were in the first four robberies, OK?"


    "OK."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Brandon cursed a few times in his heart, but he didn''t express it on his face, but continued:


    "I''m sure you all know that when it comes to robbing a bank, the most important thing is to check the spot beforehand."


    According to Brandon, Dilano was responsible for stepping on the spot.


    If you go to the spot in person, there is a high probability that the police will find you when they check the surveillance.


    So after thinking about it for a while, Dilano decided to go to a few journalists he knew well.


    Dilano''s plan is that he pays these scribes some money, and asks them to go to the bank to deposit money, and at the same time record the internal structure of the bank, the camera and other information, and then repeat it to him.


    But what Dilano didn''t expect was that after learning about the matter, the women he found not only refused to agree, but also told the matter to the chicken head in charge of managing them: Mrs. Helen.


    ��Mrs. Helen is one of the chicken heads we live in the area with a gang background.��


    Branno licked his chapped lips, and continued:


    "After Madam Helen found out about this, she actually came to find Dilano in person that night.


    We were taken aback and thought they were going to do something to us.


    But after a brief chat later, I found out that Mrs. Helen is here to inquire about news. "


    Hearing this, Roan frowned:


    "What news are you looking for?"


    "Of course, to inquire about the news of the previous four robberies."


    Branno shrugged:


    " Mrs. Helen said that in the previous four robberies, the robbers probably also used the reporter to scout out spots.


    It''s just that the gang of robbers didn''t use the clerk under Madam Helen, but the clerk under another groom.


    Some time ago, before the fourth bank robbery, someone contacted those scribes, but the latter group of scribes disappeared, and the groom also disappeared.


    Mrs. Helen only learned of this news long after the incident happened, after she collected most of the groom''s reporters.


    She came to us that night, first to find out if we were the robbers in the previous four robberies, and at the same time to warn us not to rob the banks in the area occupied by their gangs. "


    After all, gangs also need to save money and pay taxes.


    Roan''s eyes moved slightly:


    "You mean, that Mrs. Helen might know who the robbers were in the previous four robberies?"


    "Exactly."


    Brandon nodded:


    "Mrs. Helen has collected a lot of scribes under the groom, and those scribes have a very high probability of seeing the gang of robbers."


    Hearing this, Roan rubbed his temples, frowned and thought for a few seconds, then raised his head and asked:


    "Then how did you figure out the specific structure of the two banks?"


    "Of course by Namit."


    Brandon leaned back:


    "He''s the account manager of the bank, and he has a wider network than me and Dilano.


    After we told Namit about the difficulty, he got some blueprints of the bank lobby the next day. "


    "OK."


    After asking some simple questions again and confirming that Brandon had no other clues, Roan and Lacey got up and left the interrogation room without talking nonsense.


    Close the door of the interrogation room, Lacey looked at the records in the notebook, raised the corner of her mouth, tilted her head and asked:


    "Roan, do you believe what Brandon said?"


    "I don''t believe anything except the information about Mrs. Helen."


    Glancing at the interrogation room behind him, Roan said disdainfully:


    " According to Brandon, in the two cases, all his actions were arranged by the other two people, and he was just a tool man.


    This kind of words...hehe. "


    After listening to Brandon''s words, Roan had only one feeling, and that was that this guy was the real mastermind of the two robberies.


    After all, this guy is in college, and his major is acting.


    Hearing what Roan said, Lacey showed a smile on her face:


    "That''s right, I thought so too, Mona has returned, shall we interrogate that Namit?"


    Roan nodded, and was about to agree when the phone in his pocket rang suddenly.


    Press the answer button, and a familiar female voice comes from the other end of the phone:


    "Roan, come to my office."


    Hearing Vernis'' voice on the phone, Roan frowned.


    Finished negotiating with the IRS?


    "Sorry, Lacey."


    Hung up the phone, Roan tilted his head and said to Lacey:


    "The officer has something to ask me, and I will leave the interrogation of Namit to you and Mona."


    "Little things."


    Lacey waved her hand nonchalantly, telling Roan to go quickly, and at the same time signaled that she would tell Augustus about it.


    Expressing thanks with a smile, Roan walked out of the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team and went straight to Verinisi''s office.

 Chapter 99： Matthews and the investigation Mrs. Helen

    Chapter 99 Matthews and the investigation of Mrs. Helen


    As soon as she reached the door of the office, Vernis walked out of it.


    "Hello, sir."


    Verinis nodded, without any nonsense, walked directly around Roan:


    "follow me."


    Seeing this, Roan hurriedly followed, the two entered the elevator, and Vernis directly pressed the button leading to a higher floor in the elevator.


    The elevator door opened slowly, and the words "Special Agent''s Office" in the distance of the corridor immediately came into Luo An''s eyes.


    When Roan saw this, his eyebrows twitched. Before he could speak, Vernis walked out of the elevator, went straight to the special agent''s office, and knocked on the door.


    "Wait a moment."


    A somewhat hoarse middle-aged male voice came from the office. Seeing Vernis standing at the door, Roan stood beside her decisively.


    Soon, the door of the office was opened, and a person that Roan did not expect appeared in front of Roan.


    "Hello, sir."


    Wearing a black suit, Matthews came out of the office with the badge of the team leader on his chest. When he saw Vernis, he hurriedly greeted her with a smile.


    But the moment he saw Roan behind Verenice, the smile on Matthews'' face froze.


    Verinis nodded and strode into the office without replying.


    Roan did not enter without receiving instructions. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at Matthews, with the corners of his mouth raised, showing a gentle smile:


    "Good afternoon, Chief Matthews."


    When Matthews heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.


    He didn''t understand why Roan appeared here.


    It��s just a small detective, how many levels is worse than the special agent supervisor?


    He has a special reason to be here!


    Thinking of the special reason, Matthews trembled in his heart. Could it be because of the serial bank robbery?


    But then Matthews shook his head.


    The case was handed over to the No. 5 investigation team for less than three days. What clues can be found in such a short time?


    Will Niss bring Roan to see the special agent supervisor Corbett?


    Could it be... a mistake was made in the process of handling the case?


    Thinking of this, Matthews eyes lit up.


    Before he could speak, the next second, Verinisi''s unique indifferent tone came from the office:


    "Good afternoon, sir.


    That serial bank robbery, my Detective Roan Greenwood has caught one of the robbers.


    But it involved the IRS group just now, and I am here to report this matter this time. "


    Hearing this, Matthews, who was originally bright in his eyes, shrank his pupils instantly, and looked at Roan with an expression full of disbelief.


    Roan didn''t speak, but the smile on his face became more friendly.


    Sitting on a chair, the somewhat Mediterranean Corbett was stunned when he heard Verinisi''s words, then put down the pen in his hand, looked up and said in doubt:


    "Caught one of the robbers? What do you mean by that?"


    "Let Roan Greenwood explain the specific situation to you."


    Verinis shook her head, saying that this case was led by Roan Greenwood, and it would be more appropriate for him to explain the matter.


    Taking a deep look at Vernis, Corbett closed the folder on the table, leaned back, and nodded:


    "This Roan Greenwood is already here, let him in."


    Verinis nodded, turned to look at the door, and frowned when she saw Matthews still standing there:


    "Matthews, let Roan come in, and remember to close the door when you leave."


    Matthews: "��"


    Without waiting for Matthews to answer, Roan, who was standing at the door, simply adjusted his suit, hooked the corners of his mouth, and after showing a sunny smile, he walked up to Matthews and said in a low voice:


    "Please let me go, Officer Matthews, the officer is calling me into the house."


    "I��"


    When Matthews heard this, his expression turned extremely ugly.


    But from the corner of the eye, he saw that Corbett in the office had turned his attention here. Matthews hurriedly took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, walked aside and turned slightly sideways, signaling Roan to enter the office.


    "Thank you, sir."


    Roan nodded with a smile. After entering the office, he closed the door of the office.


    The door closed a little too quickly, and Matthews was almost hit on the nose, which made his face turn pale in an instant.


    A lot of swear words were stuck in Matthews'' throat, but considering Corbett in the office, he still didn''t dare to swear.


    But his complexion directly upgraded from pig liver color to sauce purple.


    Roan didn''t know the state of Matthews in the corridor, and even if he knew, he wouldn''t care, because the special agent supervisor Corbett had already set his sights on him.


    "Hello, sir, I am the official agent of the No. 5 investigation team, Roan Greenwood."


    Walking to the desk, beside Vernis, Roan smiled and greeted Corbett in a neither humble nor overbearing way.


    Seeing Roan''s tall and straight figure and handsome face, the slight unhappiness in Corbett''s heart disappeared in an instant, and a slight smile appeared on his face, and he asked directly:


    "Tell me briefly about the situation of the case."


    "Okay, sir."


    Luo An nodded, no nonsense, and directly handed over the case to the No. 5 investigation team. Everyone''s efforts, guesses about the case, and the arrest process were described to the other party.


    Finally, he also stated that the No. 5 investigation team had obtained important clues to the previous four robberies, and believed that they would be able to complete the task of solving the case within the specified time.


    "Good."


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Corbett, who sat up straight unknowingly, nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand after a few seconds of silence and said:


    "OK, you can go out now."


    "Okay, sir."


    Roan agreed resolutely, and after nodding to Vernis who was standing aside, he turned and left the room immediately without hesitation.


    Opening the door of the office, Matthews has disappeared.


    But the careful Roan saw that there seemed to be a fist mark on the wall diagonally opposite the office, and there seemed to be a little blood in the fist mark.


    Roan grinned, closed the door and began to wait.


    In the office, Corbett tapped the pen and nodded:


    "It is indeed a talent."


    The corners of Verenice''s mouth raised slightly.


    After a long silence, Corbett waved his hand:


    "This case was resolved within the specified time, and I will agree to your previous request that does not violate the regulations."


    "Thank you, sir."


    Getting the answer she wanted, Vernis shook her right little finger, nodded and left the room immediately.


    The office door was slowly closed, and Corbett threw away the signature pen, leaned back, and began to close his eyes and rest.


    "Roann Greenwood..."


    Verinis returned to her office. As soon as Roan returned to the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Lacey greeted her and said with a smile:


    "According to Namit, Brandon is the mastermind of the two cases."


    "A dog bites a dog."


    Hearing this, Roan shook his head.


    Roan didn''t care at all who of the three were the masterminds. Anyway, they had already been caught. The judge sentenced them however he liked, and only cared about when the thank you money from the bank would arrive.


    After the decoration of that small apartment was completed, Roan didn''t have much money left.


    "Then what to do next? Roan?"


    Seeing that Roan didn''t care about this matter, Lacey shrugged, tilted her head and asked:


    "To catch that Mrs. Helen?"


    "No, let''s go tomorrow."


    Roan shook his head, pointed to the clock beside him:


    "It''s time to get off work."


    If I remember correctly, Norton seems to have promised to invite him to dinner.


    ��


    The next day, Mrs. Helen''s strip club.


    "Sorry, two agents."


    In the office, when Lacey asked about the bank robbers, Mrs. Helen, who was over half a century old but still charming, raised her legs and said slowly:


    "I really don''t know about the gang of bank robbers, you''ve got the wrong guy."


    "you sure?"


    Hearing this, Lacey narrowed her eyes slightly, while Roan sat aside and bowed her head in silence.


    He is looking at the rewards issued by the system yesterday.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 100： tattoo sticker clues

    Chapter 100 Tattoo Sticker Clues


    After get off work yesterday, at Norton''s strong invitation, Roan bought some small gifts and drove to Norton''s house for dinner.


    The food for family dinners is average, but the atmosphere is warm.


    Detective Norton has a wife who works in a private clinic, and a cute little daughter. They also welcome Roan''s arrival.


    Yesterday''s experience system gave Roan an excellent evaluation, and a total of four bottles of potions were prescribed, which were antidote potion x 2 and night vision potion x 2.


    As for the antidote, Roan really likes it. This thing is like the hemostatic medicine that he has been thinking about but has not been prescribed recently. It is very useful at critical moments.


    But Night Vision Potion��


    Roan scratched his head. If the mission is at night, he will equip his helmet with night vision goggles.


    Tasks during the day, it seems that night vision potions are not needed.


    "Forget it, let''s save it first."


    After thinking about it, he didn''t find the usefulness of the night vision potion, but there is no harm in keeping it. Roan pondered for a few seconds, and put it in the storage bar.


    "Are you sure you want to say you don''t know?"


    Lacey''s voice interrupted Roan''s contemplation. Faced with Mrs. Mullen''s refusal to cooperate, Lacey''s face was not very good-looking.


    "Sorry, Agents, I really..."


    Mrs. Mullen is still shaking her head. She is a simple **** owner and really doesn''t understand what the FBI said.


    "very good."


    Without waiting for Lacey to speak, Roan, who turned his attention back, chuckled lightly, patted his thigh, stood up on the spot, and said directly to Mrs. Mullen:


    "Congratulations, Mrs. Mullen, you are now deceiving FBI agents, lying to FBI agents, lying, refusing to cooperate, etc., have successfully violated federal laws and regulations.


    Now, hold out your hand, we''ll go back to the FBI interrogation room and chat before you go to jail for a while. "


    After hearing Roan''s words, Mrs. Mullen''s expression changed immediately, and she looked up at Roan:


    "you��"


    "We don''t care about women''s affairs, and we don''t want to care about these **** things, OK?"


    Seeing the other party''s changed face, Luo An first smiled, saying that those jobs belonged to NYPD, and he didn''t want to compete with them for jobs.


    Then Roan put away his smile instantly, and said coldly:


    "We just want to arrest the gang of bank robbers now!


    We''ve got some news that some of your reporters have seen the gang of bank robbers, that''s why they found you today.


    If you don''t cooperate, we will definitely search this **** over and over again!


    I hope that all your business here is legal and compliant, and you have no connection with gangs.


    Otherwise..."


    After hearing Roan''s words and seeing the cold expression on Roan''s face, Mrs. Mullen''s face changed again and again. After a few seconds of silence, she said in a concentrated voice:


    "Mr. Detective, my subordinates are all good girls, and they have absolutely never participated in the illegal activities you just mentioned.


    But they have seen many clients, maybe they have seen the people you mentioned before, I can go and ask for you. "


    "Very well, you can ask those good girls now."


    Roan grinned and nodded, pointing to the office door.


    Mrs. Mullen left the office with an ugly face, and Roan sat down on the chair again.


    After watching the whole process, Lacey helped her forehead and sighed:


    "Why does this happen every time? We have to threaten them a few times before they hand over clues, or agree to cooperate with us.


    Can��t these people be more straightforward? "


    "No way, who let us be the FBI, but their **** is not clean?"


    Luo An spread his hands when he heard the words.


    The two parties are in an antagonistic relationship. It is normal to have concerns, worries and fears, and refuse to directly agree to them.


    It''s not that FBI agents have encountered people who directly drew their guns to resist.


    The current time is only 2005, which is not too bad. Threatening gang members with words can still be done.


    After more than ten years, technology has made great progress, and those inexplicable organizations have also begun to rise in the United States. Ordinary FBI agents go out to carry out investigation tasks, and they will start carrying high-definition portable law enforcement recorders like the police.


    Otherwise, even if the FBI agents catch the criminal, but there is a program error in the law enforcement recorder, the criminal will have a little chance to come back.


    In the famous Simpson murder case in the United States, it was because the Los Angeles police were suspected of illegal evidence collection and other procedural errors, which made a lot of evidence unusable, and Simpson was finally acquitted.


    It can only be said that in the United States, everything is possible, and this country is a large-scale social testing ground.


    After waiting in the office for a long time, the door of the office was pushed open when Lacey began to wonder if Mrs. Mullen had already started running because of fear.


    "You came too early, everyone is resting at home, so you came a little late."


    Mrs. Mullen came into the room with a white and a wheat-colored young woman, pointed to them and said:


    "Two agents, these two girls may know the information you want."


    "very good."


    Roan nodded, motioned for the two women to sit down, and then turned his gaze to Lacey.


    Lacey didn''t hesitate when she saw this, and immediately briefly introduced the time when the first robbery happened, and then asked:


    "Before that, did someone want you to go to the bank to check out? Do you remember that person?"


    "There was indeed such a thing, but it''s been too long, and I don''t remember the name of that person."


    The white-skinned woman shook her head, but then said:


    "But I remember that the man was white and had a bald head."


    It was not surprising that the other party was a white man, Roan and Lacey, but the news of the bald head still made the two of them raise their brows. After looking at each other, Qi Qi turned his eyes to another woman with a wheat complexion.


    "I remember that man."


    The wheat-skinned woman is named Julie. She watched Roan lick her lips and said:


    "That guy''s name is Kevin, and his hands and feet are not very clean."


    "Um?"


    Lacey was taken aback for a moment, stopped writing, raised her head and asked:


    "Which one is not clean? The other party touched you while you were dancing?"


    Seeing that Julie''s face is not ugly, at least she has a D''s chest, and she has strong and long legs because of dancing all the year round...


    Roan was silent for a few seconds, thinking of the other person''s figure + occupation, it seemed normal for some guests to touch her.


    After all, the quality of some American people...


    Lacey''s eyes rested on Julie''s chest and thighs for a few seconds, and she also thought of this.


    "Make no mistake, two agents."


    Seeing the eyes of the two, Julie rolled her eyes and said unhappily:


    "I''m not talking about him doing something to me, but I saw him stealing."


    Julie said that her hands and feet were not clean, which meant that when she was about to get off work that day, she saw that Kevin appeared in their dressing room + changing room for some reason, and secretly took some tattoo stickers.


    "Tattoo stickers?!"


    Hearing Julie''s words, Lacey was startled, then immediately turned her gaze to Roan, and said in a low voice:


    "Roan, I remember..."


    "Exactly."


    Roan knew what Lacey wanted to say. In the second phase of the case, some witnesses saw the tattoo on the robber''s right wrist.


    So Roan straightened up immediately, and asked with a serious face:


    "Do you remember what that tattoo looked like?"


    "certainly!"


    Julie nodded, and lifted the short skirt on her thigh, revealing the snake tattoo on her thigh:


    ��A lot of dancing girls find tattoos painful, or don��t want other people to know that they do it because of tattoos.


    So in addition to looking for someone to draw a tattoo, they will put some tattoo stickers more often.


    After all, it costs money to find someone to paint tattoos, and tattoo stickers are cheaper.


    These snake tattoo stickers belong to our regular batch. "


    "Fu-k!"


    Seeing the snake tattoo exactly like the robber, Lacey immediately cursed in a low voice, Roan didn''t hesitate, got up immediately and said:


    "Girls, come back to the FBI building with me right now.


    I need you to describe what this bald white man looks like in your memory, and make a mock portrait of him. "


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 101： Find the bald white man

    Chapter 101 Find a bald white man


    Noon, Jacobs Federal Building.


    Ryder pushed open the door of the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, and yelled loudly as soon as he entered:


    "Everyone, I''m back!"


    When the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team heard the voice, they got up one after another, walked over with smiles on their faces and gave William a hug.


    William patted Ryder on the back hard:


    "Welcome back, Ryder!"


    "Don''t say that, William."


    Ryder patted William on the back lightly, then rolled his eyes and said:


    "I only left for two days, not two years."


    William smiled and didn''t say much. Ryder looked around and didn''t see Roan and Lacey. He tilted his head and asked:


    "Where are Roan and Lacey?"


    "It''s time to make a mock portrait."


    Beside Mona handed Ryder a cup of coffee, briefly explained what happened in the past two days, and finally said:


    "They have been away all morning, and they should be back soon."


    "OK."


    After listening to Mona''s narration, Ryder nodded and returned to his station, preparing to wait for Roan to come back. He wanted to find Roan for something.


    Ryder didn''t know exactly what happened that day. Fentanyl was too toxic. Before he could react, he felt his head start to float, and he couldn''t control his muscles in the next second, and collapsed on the ground.


    But before Ryder was completely unconscious, he still felt Roan jump down the stairs and rushed to his side.


    But Ryder didn''t feel Roan feeding him the potion later.


    Ryder at that time, according to his words, had "saw the white-bearded God waving at him."


    Later, Ryder woke up and looked at the ceiling in the ward, unable to tell whether it was real or not.


    It was Yvonne who slapped him **** the face, and Ryder knew that he had really come back to life, and did not go to see God.


    Ryder went to their home last night for the two SWAT guys who put him in the ambulance and thanked them very much.


    The only one who saved Ryder''s life was Roan.


    According to what Yvonne knew, Roan was not the one who sent Ryder to the ambulance himself.


    But Ryder, who has been in battle all year round and only recently joined the FBI, has a feeling that Roan seems to be the one who really saved him.


    Although he didn''t know why he felt this way, Ryder chose to trust his intuition, and now he really wanted to express his gratitude to Roan.


    "Everyone! The simulation portrait has come out!"


    Ryder didn''t sit for a few minutes when Lacey and Roan strode in.


    Lacey held several large portraits in her hands, and shouted loudly:


    "This guy is the one to look for next!"


    "OK!"


    "no problem!"


    The technicians of the No. 5 investigation team suddenly agreed, took the portrait in Lacey''s hand, sat in front of the computer and started typing on the keyboard.


    "Roan, Lacey."


    Hearing someone calling him, Roan, who lowered his head to think about something, was taken aback for a moment. When he looked up and found that it was Ryder, he immediately showed a big smile, stepped forward and gave him a big hug:


    "Welcome back, buddy! I didn''t expect you to come back to work today. Didn''t Augustus approve you for a long time?"


    Lacey didn''t hug Ryder, a muscular man, but just punched Ryder''s arm with a smile on her face, and then gave Ryder a high-five.


    Ryder knew who Lacey was, and he didn''t care about such a small thing as not embracing.


    After hearing Roan''s words, Ryder was about to say something with a serious face when William suddenly shouted loudly:


    "Everyone, I''m afraid this Kevin has never been in prison.


    In the photos of prisoners in several large prisons in the New York area, there is no guy similar to Kevin! "


    At this point in time, face recognition technology is not yet very mature, and there are very few people who can be checked. Most of the people in the FBI resource pool are prisoners who have been in prison.


    After all, these people take pictures before going to prison.


    Facing the remaining ordinary people, the current face recognition system is useless most of the time.


    It wasn''t until 2015, when the United States began to promote the face recognition boarding policy at airports across the country, that the FBI''s database was gradually enriched.


    Of course, the database here refers to the criminal database, and there are other databases inside the FBI, but ordinary agents have no authority to enter.


    "Then check the prisons in other regions."


    Hearing what William said, Roan frowned and said:


    "You can check the states around New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey."


    "O...K."


    Hearing what Roan said, the corners of William and the other four technical agents twitched, but they still lowered their heads and got busy.


    Seeing William and others start working, Roan looked at Ryder again, tilted his head and asked:


    "Ryder, what did you want to say just now?"


    "��nothing."


    Seeing that everyone was busy, Ryder swallowed a bunch of words in his mouth, then grinned, and patted Roan on the shoulder:


    "I just got off work today, and I want to invite you to my house for dinner."


    "OK."


    Hearing this, the corners of Luo An''s mouth rose, and he immediately nodded in agreement.


    Someone invited me to dinner last night, and tonight...


    Roan raised his mouth and cast his eyes on Mona.


    Do you want to go to her house for a meal the day after tomorrow?


    Mona shuddered violently, feeling as if something bad was staring at her.


    Time moved forward slowly, and the keyboard in the office area kept ringing, but the agents of the No. 5 investigation team did not find the Kevin in the portrait.


    During the process, William and others did find a few people who looked very similar to the people in the portrait.


    But after careful investigation, either there were witnesses to prove that the person was with him when the bank robbery happened, or that person was no longer in New York and had no ability or time to commit the crime.


    "this��"


    Picking up the coffee on the side and taking a big sip, Mona rubbed her sore fingers, tilted her head and looked at Roan:


    "Is there a possibility that the two women remembered Kevin''s appearance wrongly? Or the portraitist made a mistake?"


    "It''s not impossible, but..."


    Roan touched his chin. After pondering for a long time, he took out his mobile phone, pressed the number and called Norton.


    "Roan?"


    The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit noisy, and it was clear that Norton was not in the FBI building.


    "Good afternoon, Norton."


    Roan simply said hello, without any nonsense, and directly told the other party that he couldn''t find anyone now.


    "Simple!"


    Hearing Roan''s question, Norton on the other end of the phone smiled slightly and said directly:


    "Now send that simulated portrait to our Organized Crime Investigation Section.


    As long as the portrait is accurate and the gap with the real person is not too big, I will be able to find this person for you soon! "


    Norton waved his hand. Their Organized Crime Investigation Bureau has special connections with more than half of the gangs in New York.


    They have done this many times to find someone, and this kind of thing is nothing to them.


    Of course, not everyone can ask the Organized Crime Investigation Section for help in this kind of matter.


    Those who are not familiar with the relationship will be ignored by the Organized Crime Investigation Section.


    "Thank you, Norton."


    "You''re welcome!"


    Norton chuckled, and after making an appointment with Roan to go fishing on the weekend, he hung up the phone.


    "I''ll go."


    Hung up the phone, and before Roan could say anything, Ryder picked up the portrait, smiled at Roan, and strode away from No. 5 investigation team.


    I don��t know what method the Organized Crime Investigation Section used. After only three hours, Ryder returned to the No. 5 investigation team, and at the same time brought back a piece of paper with rough information on the person who simulated the portrait:


    Fletcher-Walker, 29 this year, lives in Queens.


    After calling out all the information about Fletcher according to the information, Mona was speechless and spread her hands:


    "No wonder we couldn''t find him, this man was a boy scout two months ago!"


    Hearing this, Roan was taken aback:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 102： Bring Fletcher Walker back to HQ

    Chapter 102 brings Fletcher-Walker back to HQ


    "The meaning is very simple."


    Mona fluttered her hands on the keyboard, looked at the information in the computer and read:


    "Fletcher Walker, no DUI record, no fight record, no criminal record.


    During school, he was one of the popular boys in school and played quarterback.


    University is the most common community college. After graduation, he married his wife and worked at the dock in New York.


    By the way, his wife is the girlfriend he dated when he was a quarterback in high school.


    The one who was also Fletcher''s first, and last girlfriend.


    The relationship between the two is very good, the neighbors have never heard the sound of their quarrel, and the couple also go to the nearby church to do volunteer work every weekend. "


    After listening to Mona''s narration, Roan scratched his head, while Ryder beside him was full of surprise.


    "No wonder you called this guy a Boy Scout."


    Lacey looked carefully at the information on the computer, and nodded appreciatively:


    "This kind of man is too rare!"


    The ethos of most common community colleges in the United States��


    "So, why is this Fletcher going to a strip club?"


    Roan touched his chin, pondered for a moment, then tilted his head and asked:


    "If Fletcher''s appearance is not a disguise, is there something wrong with Fletcher''s family?"


    "Now I can''t judge whether Fletcher''s external image is fake."


    Mona tilted her head and gave Roan a look, pointed at the information in the computer with a serious face and said:


    "According to information, four months ago, Fletcher''s wife was in a car accident on the way home from get off work and died on the spot.


    According to Fletcher''s wife''s relatives and friends, at the funeral, Fletcher neither cried nor sad, and entertained these people very calmly.


    Because of this incident, Fletcher was slapped by his wife''s sister, and Fletcher''s relatives and friends also said that they misjudged the person. "


    Hearing this, Ryder frowned immediately, Lacey cursed in a low voice, and Roan was thoughtful.


    Is there a possibility...


    "So, shall we arrest this hypocrite next?"


    Lacey raised her head and cast her eyes on Roan.


    Mona continued typing on the keyboard:


    "After the funeral, Fletcher was fired from the New York marina, but he still has a mortgage and a car loan to pay every month.


    According to the surveillance video outside the community where Fletcher lives, before the previous four bank robberies, Fletcher left the house with a bag.


    After all four robberies occurred, Fletcher returned home with the bag again. "


    After hearing this, Lacey and Ryder couldn''t sit still anymore, Qiqi turned his attention to Roan.


    "OK, let''s go talk to this Mr. Fletcher now."


    Seeing the eyes of his teammates, Roan straightened his mouth and went to the equipment warehouse with Ryder, who strongly requested to go out on the mission together.


    Lacey stayed behind on investigation team No. 5 this time.


    The pitch-black SUV galloped among the traffic on the road, and Ryder grinned as he watched the scene of the car receding rapidly.


    But after laughing for a few seconds, seeing that the speed of the car seemed to have increased again, Ryder twitched his mouth, and after a long silence, he tilted his head.


    whispered: "Roan, we don''t seem to need to be so anxious.


    Mona just told me that the surveillance video in the community shows that Fletcher has not left the house for a week, and there is a high probability that he will stay in the house now. "


    "I also know the news you mentioned."


    Hearing what Ryder said, Roan shook his head with a smile, and at the same time stepped on the accelerator to let the SUV overtake the small Buick in front:


    "Do you think I look anxious?"


    Ryder: "��"


    As Ryder silently tightened his seat belt, the pitch-black SUV quickly left the Manhattan area and rushed towards Queens, where Fletcher was.


    The place where Fred lives is a small two-story apartment with a small lawn in front and a small lawn in the back.


    Parked the suv slowly on the side of the road. After getting out of the car, he saw that the house in front of him was divided into two doors. The two looked at each other, and Ryder turned around decisively and walked towards the back door of the house.


    After confirming that Ryder was already standing at the back door of the villa with a Glock 18 in hand, Roan put on the SUV helmet, picked up the Glock 18, and strode towards the front door of the house without hesitation.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Roan stood by the door, patted the front door of the house vigorously, and shouted loudly at the same time:


    "Is anyone home?"


    The house was quiet, as if no one was there.


    "Roan!"


    Just when Roan was about to knock on the door a few more times, Ryder came over suddenly.


    "Um?"


    Seeing the question on Roan''s face, Ryder shrugged, pointed to the second floor of the house and whispered:


    "There is a triangular ladder at the back of the house. I just tried to climb up to have a look. There is a man who seems to be unconscious in the bedroom on the second floor."


    "OK."


    Hearing what Ryder said, Roan no longer hesitated, and kicked towards the door.


    "FBI!"


    The door of the room was kicked into pieces, and Roan held a Glock 18 in a fighting posture, shouting slogans, while checking every room in the house at the fastest speed.


    Ryder returned to the back door just now. After Roan''s action, he also began to check each room quickly.


    "Safety!"


    "Safety!"


    After confirming that every room in the house has been inspected and there is no danger, Roan and Ledzizi came to the door of the bedroom on the second floor.


    Looking at each other, the two counted down to three, then got up at the same time, and rushed in with the Glock 18.


    In the bedroom, a bald white man with a muscular silhouette was lying on the big bed naked.


    Even though Roan and Ryder kicked open the door and barged in, the bald white man didn''t move.


    If he hadn''t seen the other person''s stomach rising and falling, Roan would have thought the other person was dead.


    Roan carefully looked at the bald white man''s big face, and made sure that he was indeed looking for Fletcher.


    In front of the bedside table in the bedroom, there is a small bag of white flour.


    "Roan."


    Ryder twitched the corner of his mouth when he saw this, and didn''t touch it with his hands, but just called Roan and pointed it to Roan.


    "understood."


    Seeing the bag of white flour, Roan nodded calmly, then reached out and patted Fletcher on the face.


    Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!


    The clear and loud applause resounded through the bedroom, and the corners of Ryder''s mouth twitched when he heard it.


    Yvonne seemed to whip him in the same way yesterday.


    The violent wake-up call was effective, and Fletcher came to life in no time.


    Seeing Roan''s strange and handsome face, Fletcher rubbed his eyes and asked vaguely:


    "Who are you...? Why... in my house?"


    "We are the FBI."


    Roan chuckled, holding the Glock 18 in front of Fletcher''s eyes:


    "Of course I came to your house to find you for something."


    "FBI?!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Fletcher shook his whole body, his eyes widened instantly, he got up decisively, left the big bed, and ran out of the bedroom.


    Then��


    His legs became weak, and he collapsed directly to the ground.


    Seeing Fletcher wriggling **** the bedroom floor, Roan and Ryder shook their heads speechlessly.


    White flour, after the energy passes, people will be very tired.


    But I''m so tired that Fletcher even walks hard...


    "You ate a little too much flour this time."


    Leading Ryder to bring Fletcher into the SUV, Roan began a simple search of the house.


    Roan searched the living room, kitchen, and basement, and looked carefully at the floor, but he didn''t find the imaginary dollar bill.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Roan returned to the bedroom and began to look at the place again.


    I didn''t find anything useful under the wardrobe or under the bed, but Roan managed to find a few notes under the TV cabinet.


    Opening a notebook casually, Luo An, who didn''t care at first, shrank his pupils instantly when he saw the contents inside.


    "Roan!"


    Hearing Ryder calling him, Roan didn''t hesitate. He immediately picked up the notebooks and returned to the SUV.


    Ryder was sitting in the back row, holding Fletcher, who was getting confused again, when he saw Roan bring back a few notebooks, he immediately showed doubts:


    "What are these things?"


    "You''ll find out soon."


    Roan had a serious face, stepped on the accelerator, and the dark SUV rushed out like lightning.

 Chapter 103： notebook!

    Chapter 103 Notebook!


    Four hours later, in the interrogation room of the No. 5 investigation team.


    Fletcher was handcuffed to a chair, his body trembling, and he kept yawning.


    "Fletcher."


    Roan and Lacey walked into the interrogation room with a bunch of things. After the two sat down, Lacey stared at Fletcher, told the time of the four robberies one by one, and asked:


    "Where are you at these four time points?"


    "I��"


    Fletcher rolled his eyes a few times and replied in a low voice:


    "I''m out on a business trip."


    "Yeah?"


    Hearing this, Lacey curled her lips in disdain, and took out the notebook that Roan had just brought back from her side, opened it, showed the contents to Fletcher, and said in a cold voice:


    "Fletcher, we don''t have time to talk nonsense with you, you better hurry up and tell the truth.


    The writing in this notebook is exactly the same as what the two robbers did in the four bank robberies!


    And we also know about you being fired from the New York docks, your so-called business trip... Hehe, what the **** is going on? "


    That''s right, in a notebook that Roan found in Fletcher''s bedroom, several pages were filled with the steps of the previous four robberies.


    In the early stage of investigation, I used a reporter to check out locations, and how to avoid the camera after robbing the bank so that the police could not find me.


    How to deceive the police, stick tattoo stickers on some easily exposed parts of the body, and "inadvertently" let witnesses at the scene see...


    In short, the content in the notebook contains the entire bank robbery plan, as well as most of the problems that may be encountered during the bank robbery process, and specific solutions.


    From Roan''s point of view, the words in the notebook, apart from not writing about how to launder money after robbing the bank, and a few minor flaws.


    For the rest, as long as you act according to the contents in the notebook, the chances of success in robbing the bank are very high.


    "What did you say?"


    After listening to Lacey''s words, and seeing the notebook in front of him again, Fletcher''s eyes bulged in an instant, and he became energetic in an instant, and shouted loudly:


    "Not me, really not me! It''s just a script!"


    "Script?"


    Luan and Lacey were stunned when they heard this.


    "That''s right, it''s the script!"


    Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two people opposite, Fletcher licked his chapped lips, and began to speak quickly.


    ��Two months ago, my wife was in a car accident����


    According to Fletcher, after his favorite wife died in a car accident, he should have burst into tears.


    But for some reason, Fletcher just couldn''t cry, and his daily life continued to move forward, as if his wife had never appeared.


    After disposing of his wife''s body in a daze, and inviting relatives and friends to the funeral, Fletcher felt as if he was an outsider, all of which had nothing to do with him.


    Until I was slapped by my wife''s sister.


    ��I covered my face and drove home that day.��


    Fletcher trembled, covering his cheeks with his hands and crying:


    "The moment I lay on the bed, my tears suddenly flowed down, and I couldn''t stop it..."


    Hearing Fletcher''s narration, Lacey frowned slightly, and tilted her head to look at Roan. Seeing this, Roan was silent for a few seconds, and explained in a low voice:


    "A human emergency defense mechanism.


    When faced with a catastrophic event that suddenly happened to them and they were completely unable to change, some people''s brains will block this event, as if such a thing never happened, and let themselves move on.


    This kind of thing is very common. For weaker cases, like a girl who was molested when she was a child, or like Fletcher, who suddenly encountered the death of a relative, they will subconsciously ignore the catastrophic event until they suddenly think about it later.


    The more serious case is schizophrenia. The victim imagines a person in his head to bear the suffering instead of himself, and he forgets these things and moves on. "


    When Mona pointed to the computer and described the situation before, Roan had this idea, but there was no evidence at the time.


    Lacey frowned, nodded, turned to look at Fletcher, her expression remained unchanged, she patted the notebook on the table, and continued to ask:


    "What does this have to do with the script you mentioned?"


    Fletcher wiped away his tears and continued to narrate.


    After crying all night, Fletcher learned the news that he was fired from the New York dock the next day.


    After being silent for a whole day, Fletcher chose to put aside the expulsion, and he had more important things to do next.


    ��When my wife was still alive, she once told me that because she married me, she lost the chance to realize her dream.��


    Fletcher stroked the traces of the ring on his finger, with a reminiscence expression on his face.


    His wife has been a devout Christian since she was a child because of her family.


    As a good girl who believed in God, she never got a tattoo, never stole from another woman, never smoked leaves, never ate flour, never went to a strip club, never��


    Never too much.


    Not only that, his wife has always had a dream, that is to become a screenwriter, so that the stories she writes can appear on the big screen in Hollywood.


    "So, for the rest of my life, I will one by one realize the dreams my wife told me when she was alive."


    The content in the notebook is one of the stories Fletcher wrote in order to realize his wife''s dream of becoming a screenwriter.


    Thinking of Fletcher''s personality and experience in the first half of his life introduced by Mona, Roan and Lacey frowned, believing half of it.


    Because Fletcher still hasn''t said where he was at the time of the four bank robberies.


    Seeing Roan and Lacey still sitting on the chairs, looking at him quietly, Fletcher was silent for a while, and finally sighed:


    "When the four robberies happened, I went to New Jersey and bought some leaves and flour from the Hyena Gang.


    The flour you just saw in the bedroom is what I bought from the Hyena Helper.


    At that time, I just bought a small packet, I thought it would be fine if I only ate it once, but I didn��t expect to buy more and more..."


    Hearing this, Roan frowned.


    No wonder Fletcher collapsed on the ground just now. It turned out that the flour was bought from the Hyena Gang.


    The flour in the hands of the Hyena Gang is all fentanyl added.


    Fentanyl Toxicity and Addiction��


    After listening to Fletcher''s narration, the two discussed for a while, and Lacey got up and left the interrogation room.


    Fletcher said that he had been living in a hotel in New Jersey for a few days because he was afraid that the police would find him holding flour on the road.


    She is going to check the surveillance and witnesses of that hotel now.


    "Very well, Mr. Fletcher, let''s assume that what you just said is true."


    Looking away from the door of the interrogation room closed by Lacey, Roan returned his attention to Fletcher and said with a serious expression:


    "But the text in your notebook is exactly the same as the four robberies, which means that the robbers definitely have contact with you! They may even be your relatives and friends.


    Now I want you to think carefully, who else has seen the contents of the notebook except you! "


    "That''s too much, Mr. Detective."


    Fletcher showed a wry smile, indicating the contents of the notebook. In the past four months, he has sought help from many relatives and friends in order to seek inspiration.


    Although some people feel that they have misread Fletcher and ignore him.


    But there are also some people who choose to believe in Fletcher. They have known and helped each other for many years, and they don''t believe that Fletcher is that kind of indifferent person.


    Roan frowned, and continued to ask after a few seconds of silence:


    "Among these people, who have entered the army? Is there any police? Or joined special departments such as SWAT?"


    "this��"


    Fletcher lowered his head and frowned, thinking for a long time, he shook his head:


    "It seems not, Mr. Detective."


    Roan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and just about to speak, Fletcher suddenly slapped his arm, raised his head and said:


    "By the way, Mr. Detective, I remembered something."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 104： some discomfort in the back

    Some discomfort after chapter 104


    "What''s up?"


    Hearing what Fletcher said, Roan asked hurriedly.


    "The story in the notebook is almost done, and I was walking back from a friend''s house, and my car had some problems on the way."


    Fletcher rubbed his eyes and explained:


    ��At that time, I took the car to a car repair shop, and I accidentally left this notebook in the car that night.


    If my guess is correct, the employee at the car repair shop has probably read this notebook. "


    "OK."


    Roan''s eyelids moved slightly, he nodded slowly after a few seconds of silence, and then continued to ask for other information.


    But because of the flour, Fletcher was still not very clear-headed, and even sat on the chair and dozed his head.


    Roan frowned when he saw this, so he stopped asking, and left the interrogation room to let William take Fletcher away and temporarily imprison him.


    Backing to his desk, Roan looked at Fletcher''s notebook for a while, and then tilted his head to look at Mona:


    "How long has Lacey been away?"


    "About half an hour."


    Mona looked at the clock at the front of the No. 5 investigation team office area, and said:


    "I saw her coming out of the interrogation room, so I went directly to the equipment warehouse"


    Roan nodded, saw Mona''s ten fingers flying on the keyboard, tilted his head and asked:


    "What are you looking for?"


    "Augus asked me to check the information and itinerary of those NYPD members who have checked the bank robbery files."


    Mona shrugged and explained:


    "Augus feels that the first four cases may be related to the NYPD."


    "Forehead"


    Luo An heard the words, his eyebrows trembled, and he asked:


    "Augus found information related to the robbers?"


    "should not."


    Mona shook her head slowly, Augustus didn''t say anything to her, just asked her to check first before talking.


    "OK."


    Seeing Roan hesitate to speak, Mona raised the corner of her mouth and asked softly:


    "Why, what can I do for you?"


    "It does."


    Roan nodded and said directly:


    "In the fifth and sixth cases, the two robbers planned to use a police officer to scout the spot.


    In Fletcher''s notebook just now, he also wrote the method of using a diary to check on the bank.


    I think there is definitely a connection, but I don''t know where.


    But this matter can be put on the back burner. Now I hope you can check the women who were under surveillance in the first two days when the first four cases happened, and see if their identities and jobs are related to similar occupations such as female journalists.


    If there is a relationship between occupations, they may also be related to the previous four robberies, and they may even be the spotters sent to the bank by the robbers in the previous four robberies. "


    "No problem! Just leave it to me!"


    After hearing this, Mona nodded decisively and agreed. Seeing the surprise on Roan''s face, she smiled slightly:


    "Augus said he was not in a hurry, and could finish the investigation within three days."


    Roan suddenly realized, and patted Mona on the shoulder:


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Mona waved her hand, indicating that it was a trivial matter, picked up the phone and called those banks.


    The surveillance video of most banks in the United States will be kept for about three months, so after more than an hour, Mona got the surveillance video of the bank lobby four days before the four robberies.


    Roan sat down on the chair at the workstation, just about to check the video with Mona, when the phone rang suddenly.


    "It''s me, Lacey."


    There was a faint noise from the other end of the phone, Lacey''s voice was a little tired:


    "I checked the hotel just now. Fletcher didn''t lie. He was indeed here when the crime happened."


    "OK."


    Roan smashed his tongue, and when he heard that Lacey''s state on the other end of the phone was not right, he immediately asked with a serious face:


    "What happened to you? Need to call for backup?"


    "Need not."


    Lacey''s voice of refusal came from the other end of the phone, and then explained:


    ��When I came here, the owner of this hotel happened to be arrested by the New Jersey police for planting leaves on the roof and balcony.


    I just had a hard time convincing the police in New Jersey to let me interrogate the hotel owner and check the hotel surveillance. "


    "��Thanks a lot."


    Hearing Lacey''s assurance that she can solve these small problems, Roan''s mouth twitched, and he hung up the phone.


    The main reason is that Roan heard the voice of the New Jersey policeman on the other end of the phone, and judged that the other party was probably a policewoman.


    Soon, it''s time to get off work today.


    After confirming Fletcher''s status with William, Roan left the office like everyone else, drove a Chevrolet to a nearby supermarket to buy a few bottles of red wine, and then walked slowly to Ryder''s house.


    An unusually rich barbecue feast.


    ��


    The next day, the Jacobs Federal Building.


    Roan walked out of the bathroom, looked at his haggard face in the mirror, felt some discomfort behind him, and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched.


    "No, I will eat more vegetables and fruits later."


    In this case, it is useless to drink the newly prescribed stamina medicine from the twelve o''clock system last night.


    The antidote might be useful, but Roan didn''t want to use the antidote, which can save lives at a critical moment, on such things.


    "Good morning, Roan!"


    Backing to the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Ryder waved to Roan with a smile all over his face. Roan grinned and nodded reluctantly.


    Lacey and Mona are also there. They are sitting together at this moment, discussing the cosmetics on the computer excitedly.


    "Good morning everyone!"


    Familiar opening remarks and a loud voice sounded at the door of the No. 5 investigation team office area, and Augustus, with a big belly, walked in with a bag of breakfast.


    No nonsense, Augustus stood at the front of the office area, looked directly at William, and said:


    "William, tell us about yesterday''s investigation!"


    "Let me do it."


    As soon as William got up, Roan waved his hand to signal him that this matter will be left to him today.


    "Guys, we caught an ex-Scout yesterday, Fletcher."


    William sat back again, and Roan took a deep breath, and introduced to everyone with the notebook in his hand:


    "According to what Fletcher explained, we have already figured out the general circumstances of the four robberies.


    Fletcher''s wife died four months ago. Three months ago, Fletcher decided to devote the rest of his life to fulfilling his wife''s unfulfilled dream. Not long after, the bank robbery script appeared.


    This script has been read by many people, not only Fletcher''s relatives and friends, but according to Fletcher, employees in a certain car repair shop may also have read it.


    And last month, the first bank robbery occurred, and the robbers did exactly the same as described in the script, so we can judge that this group of robbers definitely read the script written by Fletcher! "


    "Good."


    Augus nodded in satisfaction, signaling Roan to continue.


    Luo An walked to the front of the No. 5 investigation team office area, pulled a whiteboard, and said while writing:


    ��Next, we have three directions of investigation:


    First, carefully line up Fletcher''s relatives and friends who have reviewed the script, focusing on those who have military experience.


    Second, go to the auto repair shop Fletcher is talking about, and make sure to find out if anyone actually looked at the notebook, and if so, who.


    Third, look at surveillance footage from the four days leading up to the bank robbery����


    "very good!"


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Augustus waved his hand and signaled the technicians of the No. 5 investigation team to immediately investigate the personnel, and then tilted his head to look at several field agents:


    Which one of you will go to the car repair shop?


    "Let Lacey and Ryder go."


    Feeling the faint discomfort coming from behind, the corner of Luo An''s mouth twitched:


    "Fletcher''s mind was not clear yesterday, and there are still many things that have not been asked. I will go to interrogate him later."


    "OK."


    Augus nodded, Lacey and Ryder didn''t say anything, they got up and went to the equipment warehouse together.


    Half an hour later, Fletcher was put back into the interrogation room.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 105： Amazing find!

    Chapter 105 Amazing discovery!


    In the interrogation room, Fletcher was depressed, but it seemed that his mind was much better than yesterday.


    Walking into the interrogation room, Mona took a laptop and sat on the chair opposite Fletcher, while Roan threw the folder on the table and stood beside the two.


    "Good morning."


    Seeing Mona''s suspicious eyes, Roan''s eyelids twitched, pretending not to see it, and then tilting his head to look at Fletcher:


    "Would you like a cup of coffee?"


    "No thanks."


    Fletcher, with a stiff face, shook his head, heard Roan''s words, and asked:


    "I told you all about what happened yesterday, why are you looking for me?"


    "No, Fletcher, you still haven''t explained a lot to us."


    Seeing that Fletcher refused to drink their bitter coffee without knowing it, Roan frowned, and then said:


    "I need you to tell us all your experiences after writing this script."


    Fletcher''s mental condition was not very good yesterday, and what he said was just an overview. Roan needs to know more details.


    Not only is the devil hiding in the details, but the bank robbers likely are too.


    "What?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Fletcher''s scalp tightened, and he shouted:


    "How is this possible! How long ago was that! How can I remember what happened every day!"


    "Not every day."


    Roan shook his head and folded his hands on his chest.


    said that he knew that Fletcher''s memory could not be so good, so Fletcher only needs to explain who he met and what he did in the process of writing this story.


    "It''s simply not possible."


    Fletcher still shook his head. Seeing this, Roan hooked the corner of his mouth and said in a cold voice:


    "Fletcher, don''t forget about the flour. I''m not forcing you, but I''m helping you get the chance to ask for a reduced sentence in front of the judge."


    Hearing what Roan said, Fletcher was taken aback for a moment. After a long silence, he sighed, finally raised his head, and asked in a low voice:


    "I will carefully recall those things, but before that, can I have a cup of coffee?"


    "no problem!"


    Hearing this, Roan grinned, waved his hand to signal Mona not to move, turned and left the interrogation room, and poured a cup of coffee for Fletcher himself.


    "Thanks."


    Seeing the coffee in front of him, Fletcher politely said thank you, and then...


    "Poof��"


    The bitter feeling suddenly exploded on the tip of the tongue, Fletcher stared, and instantly spit out the coffee in his mouth.


    "Spirited up."


    Seeing Fletcher''s flushed face for a moment, Roan, who managed to avoid the entrance of coffee, smiled slightly, put the folder in front of Mona, and then turned on the recorder, indicating that Fletcher can start narrating.


    Mona: "��"


    Fletcher, who was several times more energetic than before, gave Roan a hard look, fell silent for a while, closed his eyes, and began to speak slowly:


    "When I had the opportunity to live out my wife''s dream for the rest of my life, the first person I went to was..."


    Fletcher''s unhurried narration sounded in the interrogation room. More than half an hour later, Roan''s cell phone rang suddenly.


    "Go on."


    Seeing that Fletcher was interrupted by the ringing of the phone, Roan waved his hand to signal him to continue, and he turned and left the interrogation room.


    "It''s me, Lacey."


    Lacey on the other end of the phone had a helpless voice, and after answering the phone, she said:


    "Roan, now I have a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"


    Luo An frowned when he heard the words, and said:


    "Let''s start with the bad news."


    "The bad news is, after Ryder''s unique interrogation techniques, we''ve learned something,"


    In the manager''s office of the car repair shop with two floors, Lacey looked at the busy employees below and said very speechlessly:


    "The employees of this car repair shop, it is true that they will not take the money that the owner left in the car, but they have done everything else.


    Including but not limited to stealing one or two cigarettes, eating one or two pieces of pizza...Of course, it also includes secretly looking at other people''s notebooks.


    So all the employees in this car repair shop know the story recorded in Fred''s notebook.


    There was even a boy who came here to work part-time, and said that the story was good, and it would be even better if it could be made into a movie. "


    "��All right."


    When Luo An heard this, his face froze:


    "What about the good news?"


    "The good news is that I know about the latter two cases. Why did Dilano, one of the robbers, plan to use a reporter to scout the spot without reading the script."


    Mona took the car repair records in the office, sighed and said:


    "Because Dilano also came here to repair cars after he was released from prison, and then he got the idea when he chatted with the employees of this car repair shop."


    ����this doesn��t seem like good news.��


    Ro An��s mouth twitched, rubbed the center of his brows, and said after a long silence:


    "So we don''t really know how many people have heard this story from the employees of the car wash, right?"


    "Um, not really."


    Lacey shook the car repair record in her hand:


    "We can check the list of customers who have repaired cars here in the past two months."


    "...Alright, you can bring back the list."


    Hanging up the phone, Roan felt not only a pain in the back, but also a little pain in the head.


    Re-entering the interrogation room, Roan briefly told Fletcher about the matter, and then spread his hands under Mona''s frowning:


    "Unfortunately, Mr. Fletcher, if there are no accidents, your story may not be able to be made into a script, because too many people know it.


    I can''t tell if anyone else wrote this story before you and pitched it to a studio before you did. "


    After listening to Roan''s words, Fletcher, who was still very nervous, was relieved immediately, then waved his hand, and said nonchalantly:


    "It''s okay, it can''t happen. When this story was first written, I registered this story with Hollywood.


    Someone after me who writes a screenplay identical to this story will only be flagged as plagiarism.


    And to be honest with you, as soon as I registered the story, I was contacted by a film company who wanted to buy the script.


    But the asking price was only $500, which was too low, so I rejected it. "


    "Has the film company contacted you?"


    Hearing the news, Roan frowned even more.


    How many people know this story? How many people know the specific details of this story?


    However, the outside media haven''t written about this matter in the newspapers, indicating that they haven''t discovered this yet, which is barely good news.


    After all, at this point in time, apart from the entertainment newspapers, the elders of other newspapers in the New York area are very arrogant, and most of the time they will not focus on Hollywood.


    For a moment, Mona frowned, and Roan was full of MMP.


    Taking a deep breath, Roan suppressed the complex emotions in his heart and asked:


    "What''s the name of that movie company?"


    "Hollywood Cotai Pictures."


    Fletcher curled his lips in disdain, he had never heard of this company.


    Seeing Roan''s eyes, Mona nodded, fingers fluttering, and began to investigate the situation of the film company.


    "OK."


    Roan stood where he was, changed his posture, and just asked Fletcher a few words, Mona suddenly slapped the table:


    "Roan, come and see!"


    "What''s wrong?"


    Hearing what Mona said, Roan hurried to her side.


    Following Mona''s pointing, Roan turned his gaze to the laptop screen.


    Inside is a photo of the boss of Jinguang Pictures sitting and chatting with a man in a coffee shop.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 106： real robber

    Chapter 106 The real robber


    "Henry Mitchell, the owner of Golden Light Pictures.


    According to the data, the economic situation of Cotai Films two months ago was very poor, making ends meet, and it was only a matter of time before it went bankrupt. "


    Mona picked up the laptop and left the interrogation room with Roan. After returning to her workstation, she tapped on the keyboard with her ten fingers and explained:


    ��But last month, Cotai Pictures suddenly received a large capital injection.


    Now this company not only has not closed down, but has started to prepare new movies. "


    Roan frowned upon hearing this:


    "Who is funding this company? Can you find it?"


    "As you know, there is a lot of information about shell companies in Hollywood, overseas companies, bad debts, etc. It is impossible to find out the source of the money injection with our No. 5 investigation team alone."


    Mona shook her head, Hollywood has always been a mess.


    In addition to the insiders who can guess the accounts of the company based on past experience, even the people on Wall Street have been tricked by Hollywood.


    "So, you mean."


    Seeing Mona shaking her head, and thinking of the photo she saw on the computer just now, Roan frowned:


    "The man sitting opposite Henry drinking coffee in the photo, is there a problem?"


    "Exactly!"


    Mona gave Roan a "good reaction speed" look, and after typing a few times on the keyboard, the other party''s identity information was called out:


    "The man sitting opposite Henry Mitchell is named Isaac Mitchell, 37 years old this year, and is Henry''s half-brother.


    He has served in the military overseas for more than 10 years. At the beginning of this year, he just retired from a certain region abroad and returned to the Federation. His economic level is average and he can only be regarded as the middle class. "


    Speaking of which, the corners of Mona''s mouth raised slightly, and after typing a few times on the keyboard, a ticket purchase record jumped out:


    "Because of the other party''s military experience, I just wanted to check whether the other party has been to New York recently.


    What I didn''t expect was that just a week before the first bank robbery, he actually came to New York by plane!


    Not only that, but on the third day after the fourth bank robbery, Isaac left New York in a newly bought pickup truck. "


    After listening to Mona''s words, Roan''s eyes lit up instantly.


    Flying to New York just to buy a pickup here?


    Luo An got up on the spot, clapped his hands to attract the attention of the technicians of the No. 5 investigation team, and then said loudly:


    "Guys! We now have a new suspect!"


    After briefly describing Isaac''s situation, Roan continued:


    "Next, we''re going to find out everything this Isaac did in New York! I want everyone to find out where he went after he got off the plane, where he lived, what he bought, and everything else!


    I have a hunch that we are not far away from finding this group of bank robbers! "


    "no problem!"


    "Leave it to us!"


    After listening to Luo An''s words, all the technicians nodded decisively and agreed.


    The next second, the sound of crackling keyboards began to resound throughout the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    Seeing this, Roan hooked his mouth slightly, then turned and went to Augustus'' office.


    Boom! Boom!


    After knocking on the door a few times, Roan heard Augustus'' voice pushing the door open.


    But as soon as he entered the office, Roan found that Augustus''s complexion didn''t look very good.


    The mobile phone was thrown on the table, obviously just hung up, and Augustus''s **** face turned pale with anger.


    "Sorry, sir."


    Roan frowned, and asked in a low voice:


    "How about I come back later?"


    "Need not."


    Augus took a deep breath, looked at Roan calmly, and asked:


    "Have you found any important clues?"


    "Exactly."


    Luo An nodded, briefly described the matter of Jinguang Films, and finally explained:


    ��I now suspect that the one who injected capital into Jinguang Pictures is very likely to be that Isaac.


    But because the companies and accounts in Hollywood are not clear to ordinary people, and no one in our No. 5 investigation team understands these, so..."


    Although Roan Greenwood majored in accounting, Roan had almost forgotten all that knowledge at this time.


    Relying on him to check the accounts, Roan felt that he might have to go back to university to attend classes first.


    "OK."


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Augustus understood what he meant, so he agreed decisively:


    "You guys go and find out about Isaac, the source of the capital injection of Jinguang Pictures, and I will solve it."


    "Okay, sir."


    Hearing that Augustus agreed without hesitation, Rome raised his eyebrows.


    Does he have IRS contacts?


    Turned around and left the team leader''s office. After more than an hour, with the efforts of everyone in the No. 5 investigation team, this Isaac''s itinerary in New York was successfully checked.


    "According to the surveillance video at the airport, after getting off the plane, Isaac took a taxi and went straight to Brooklyn."


    William bent down and looked at the screen on the computer, and introduced:


    "According to the surveillance video, I contacted the taxi driver. He recalled it carefully and remembered that Isaac went to a small community in Uptown Brooklyn."


    The driver didn''t know which house in the community Isaac went to after getting off the car.


    In this small community, except for the surveillance video at the gates around it, the interior of the community is completely dark.


    "However, when I checked the information of the residents in this community, I found a comrade who fought with Isaac in a certain area abroad."


    Mona followed William''s message and said:


    "This man''s name is Horki Garcia, white, 39 years old, and returned to the Federation a year earlier than Isaac.


    No family, alcoholism and gambling, very poor economic level. "


    "Good."


    Isaac and Holkey are both white, and both have military experience. They are exactly the same as the robbers in the previous four robberies. Roan nodded, and then continued to ask:


    "Is there any other information?"


    William heard the words and continued:


    "When the four robberies occurred, the community monitoring did not find any traces of the two leaving or entering the community."


    Roan''s expression remained unchanged. After all, these two came back alive from the battlefield, and avoiding surveillance was nothing to them.


    "Another point."


    Mona tapped on the keyboard with ten fingers, then raised her head and said:


    "The location of this neighborhood is just east of the bank robbery.


    And one of the female employees in the first bank robbery, her mother lived in this community. "


    When Luo An heard the words, his eyelids moved, and he tilted his head and asked:


    "This Horky, where is it now?"


    "Already left New York."


    Mona shrugged, pointed to the information in the computer and said:


    "Like Isaac, Holkey bought a pick-up truck and drove out of New York on the third day after the fourth bank robbery.


    Recent spending records show that Holkey is in California, driving a yacht and sunbathing.


    The only downside is that there seems to be no beauties on this yacht. "


    "Shit!"


    "Fu-k!"


    "Biaozi raised it!"


    Hearing this, all the technicians in the No. 5 investigation team cursed in a low voice.


    Leaving the team leader''s office, Augustus, who was discussing the situation with everyone, put his hand on his chin and frowned:


    "In this situation, we can roughly judge that Isaac and Holkey are the real robbers in the previous four robberies.


    However, the accounts of Cotai Films have not been found out in a short time. The information you mentioned are also indirect clues. We must find a way to find direct clues. "


    "this��"


    Hearing what Augustus said, all the technicians of the No. 5 investigation team frowned.


    "We can check the house that Holkey rented some time ago, and the warehouse he rented."


    Luo An chuckled and attracted everyone''s attention. He pointed to the information in the computer and said:


    "These two places have not been rented out yet, we can go here to search, maybe we will find some useful clues."


    Ryder and Lacey were still on their way back, so after a brief chat with the agents, Roan took Mona to the equipment warehouse.


    On the road, Mona, who was sitting in the co-pilot and looked down at the surveillance video a few days before the bank robbery, felt suspicious in the SUV that was moving forward smoothly and at an average speed.


    What happened to Roan today?


    "arrive."


    The dark SUV slowly parked on the road diagonally opposite the community.


    The investigation of Holky''s house this time, because it is impossible to judge whether someone will tell Holky about this matter afterwards.


    So in order not to startle the enemy, Roan and Mona only brought the FBI equipment into the car this time, and did not wear it on their bodies.


    Both of them were wearing ordinary clothes on weekdays at this time, and pretended to be an ordinary couple who came out to find a house.


    But you still have to bring a pistol.


    After carefully inspecting the Glock 18 and the corresponding extended magazines, Roan raised his mouth slightly, and then opened the door and got out of the car.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 107： resolve witness issues

    Chapter 107 Addressing the Witness Problem


    Mona, who had watched the whole process, helped her forehead speechlessly, paused the surveillance video in the computer, opened the door and got out of the car.


    "Roan, I think you can go and chat with a psychiatrist if you have time in the future."


    The two crossed the road and walked straight to the small community. Mona walked up to Roan and whispered:


    "If you are worried that seeing a psychiatrist inside the FBI will make your superiors worry about your mental state and affect your future, I can introduce you to a psychiatrist you can absolutely trust.


    She is very nice and professional... I kid you not, she really helped me a lot when I was little. "


    Roan was very happy to hear that Mona gave an example of her own childhood to show that she didn''t lie to him.


    At least it shows that Mona is really good for him and really wants to help him.


    but��


    "Mona, I really don''t have any psychological problems."


    Roan shook his head speechlessly:


    "I''m just a little worried about the lack of firepower, pay attention to details, and want to defeat the enemy as soon as possible, so that I and my teammates will try not to be injured by the enemy. It is best to nip the danger in the bud. Can these be considered psychological problems?"


    Mona heard the words, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly:


    "Isn''t that... counted?"


    Aren��t these signs of insecurity?


    "Of course not!"


    Luo An waved his hand, this is called paying attention to his own life and being responsible for his own life safety.


    Before Mona could continue speaking, Roan had already brought her to the "Self-management Community Association" in the community


    America is a free country, and the different rules brought about by the gap between the rich and the poor are vividly manifested in various fields of daily life.


    Like community security.


    The rich area has security and police patrols on time.


    High-end community, less security, fewer police patrols, but at least there are.


    Ordinary communities, most of them have no security, and the police only pass by occasionally when patrolling.


    Residents living in this kind of community usually get together and form a "self-management association" to help each other.


    As for the remaining **** communities... I can only say that America is a free country, where people live and die freely.


    "Hello, my name is Martin and her name is Catherine."


    After a simple inquiry, Roan found the rotation person of this community self-management association.


    An old white man who is definitely not younger than 50 years old.


    After briefly introducing himself and Mona''s name, Roan showed a sunny smile at the old white man:


    "I heard there are houses for rent in this neighborhood, can you show us?"


    "Rental? Which one?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, the white old man Eric didn''t think much, and directly raised his head to ask.


    Sometimes, the community self-management association will also take on some intermediary responsibilities. When the landlord has something to go out, they will help the landlord to receive the tenants and charge some hard work afterwards.


    But there is also a premise, that is, the association can only receive guests, and cannot directly sign a contract with the tenant. The contract must be signed by the landlord and the tenant.


    Unless the landlord allows and gives rights to someone in the association.


    Roan told the room number that Holkey rented some time ago, the white old man Eric flipped through the thick notebook, nodded after a long time:


    "That''s right, this room hasn''t been rented out yet, I can show you right now."


    "Thanks."


    Seeing the warm smile on Roan''s face, Eric felt in a good mood.


    When chatting on the stairs, Roan used some words, making Eric laugh so hard that he couldn''t close his mouth from ear to ear.


    So when Roan entered the room and carefully observed the specific situation in the room, Eric, who was waiting at the door, pondered for a long time, and finally walked to Roan''s side, and said earnestly:


    "How about, children, how about renting another room? This room may not be suitable for you."


    Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of Roan and Mona, Eric was silent for a while, beckoning Roan to lower his head.


    "The previous tenant of this room was a **** man, and I''ve seen him come back here with other men."


    Knowing that the previous occupant of this room was Holky, Roan fell silent after hearing Eric''s words.


    The next second, Roan suddenly remembered something, his pupils shrank suddenly, and asked in a low voice:


    "Eric, is there a bar near this neighborhood that people like them would go to?"


    "There is indeed one, not too far from here."


    Eric nodded, seeing the change in the expression on Roan''s face, he thought he was surprised by his words, and just about to say something, Roan reached out and shook his hand:


    "Thank you, Eric, thank you very much for the message."


    "You''re welcome."


    Eric shook his head, and just about to continue to say something, Roan expressed a few words of thanks again, took Mona''s hand and ran away quickly.


    "Roan, what happened?"


    Mona looked blank, not understanding why Roan was in such a hurry:


    "Aren''t you going to check out the warehouse that Horky rented?"


    "No need, just now I found out that Holkey rented this room, and it was cleaned very carefully, not even a single hair was left. Obviously, Isaac and Holkey handled the scene carefully .��


    Roan shook his head. In this case, there is a high probability that the warehouse that Holkey rented was carefully cleaned by the two of them.


    "All right."


    Mona nodded after hearing the words, silent for a few seconds, and then asked:


    "So where do we go next?"


    The two had already run back into the SUV.


    ��Eric��s words just now inspired me and reminded me of issues that were ignored by all of us before.��


    Seeing the questioning look on Mona''s face, Roan said in a solemn tone:


    "We always thought that the person who went to the bank to shop before the incident was most likely a woman, but why couldn''t it be a man?"


    "Remember the man?"


    Hearing this unique word, Mona was taken aback for a moment, then slapped her head suddenly:


    "That''s right! Eric just said that Holkey is gay!"


    After reacting, Mona immediately turned her gaze to the computer, waving her fingers on the keyboard, and began to investigate the men who appeared in the surveillance video before the four robberies.


    Roan did not sit aside and wait, but stepped on the accelerator of the SUV and drove towards the bar that Eric just mentioned.


    The bar is not too far from the community, only a few blocks away. After arriving, Roan and Mona get out of the car and push the door to go in.


    "Excuse me, lady."


    The door had just been half pushed, and a burly black security guard came out, stretching out his hand to stop Mona:


    "It may not be suitable for women to enter here."


    Seeing this, Mona took out the golden badge of the FBI without any nonsense, and said coldly:


    "FBI."


    "..."


    The black security guard was taken aback for a moment, then silently moved out of the way.


    "Don''t stand still."


    Roan patted the black man''s arm and grinned:


    "Take us to your boss."


    The black security guard wanted to say something, but when he saw Roan also took out the golden badge, he smacked his lips, turned to open the door inside, and led the two to the manager''s office behind the bar.


    Following behind the black security guard, Mona looked around blankly, and found that the **** bar seemed to be nothing special, and the decoration was similar to ordinary bars.


    Just as he was about to say something to Roan, he suddenly found Roan grinning, left him, and walked to the bar.


    "Hello."


    Roan walked up to a white male with short hair, greeted him and smiled:


    "I think you look familiar."


    "come on."


    Hearing what Roan said, Chad rolled his eyes:


    "Your strike-up words are too old-fashioned."


    "No, I''m not talking to you again, I''m just narrating something."


    Roan shook his head, and Mona on the side saw Chad''s face clearly, her pupils tightened, and she walked to the bar silently.


    Before Chad wondered why a woman would come here, Roan took out the FBI''s golden badge, grinned and said:


    "Did you go to a bank to handle business last month?"


    Seeing Roan''s movements and hearing Roan''s words, Chad''s body stiffened instantly, and sweat appeared on his forehead in an instant.


    The next second, Chad threw the wine glass on the bar counter at Roan, turned his head and ran away.


    The moment the wine glass was thrown by Chad, Roan avoided the body to the left, took advantage of the opportunity to raise his right foot, and kicked Chad **** the back.


    Boom!


    The next second, under the astonished eyes of everyone in the bar, Chad flew out directly, smashed several tables, and smashed heavily on the ground of the bar.


    "Hiss��"


    "WTF?!"


    "Gift Crab!"


    Seeing Chad lying on the ground twitching his legs and then not moving, the bar was filled with the sound of gasping for air, and everyone looked at Roan as if they had seen a ghost.


    Mona also looked at Roan in surprise.


    When did his strength become so great?


    After the reaction came back, several men looked at Roan''s eyes, which suddenly lit up.


    Roan: "..."


    ��


    Three hours later, the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    "This Chad has been recruited and agreed to testify in court. Now we have someone to testify."


    Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Roan and Mona walked out of the interrogation room with a smile, and distributed Chad''s confession to everyone:


    "Chad admitted that he had helped Holkey go to the bank for spot checks, but he said that he only went there once, and the remaining three cases had nothing to do with him.


    So next, we need to find the other people who helped Holkey go to the bank to check out locations three times, and arrest Holkey and Isaac. "


    "Good job!"


    Augus briefly flipped through the interrogation records, patted Roan on the shoulder vigorously, and laughed loudly:


    "It''s a trivial matter to find other scouts later!"


    After finishing speaking, before Roan could react, Augustus turned his gaze to Lacey and Ryder, and said in a serious tone:


    "You two, take our FBI plane to California tomorrow, contact the local SWAT, and make sure to catch Isaac and Holkey back!"


    "Yes, sir!"


    After simply distributing some tasks, Augustus waved his hand:


    "What I promised you, I will do what I say!


    After handling this case, everyone''s bonus next week will be doubled!


    At the same time, I will apply for a day off from my superiors! "


    Hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the No. 5 investigation team lit up.


    "Roan, Verinisi is looking for you."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 108： The truth of the case and the money of thanks

    Chapter 108 The truth of the case and thanks


    "Hello, sir."


    Roan knocked on the door, and after entering Verinisi''s office, he saw that she was still writing materials with her head down.


    "sit."


    Verinis'' tone was the same as before.


    After signaling Roan to sit down, Vernis turned over the materials in her hand, raised her legs, and looked up at Roan:


    "Augus just told me that you have caught the scouts for the previous four bank robberies?"


    "Exactly."


    Roan nodded with a smile. After introducing Chad''s identity, he gave Vernis a brief deduction about the case based on all the clues and information in his hand.


    Located in California, a Jinguang film industry, due to poor management, the company''s financial problems have occurred, and it is only one foot away from bankruptcy.


    The half-brother of Henry, the boss of Jinguang Films, has been harming other countries for more than ten years. Isaac, an American soldier who just returned to China at the beginning of this year, decided to help his elder brother after learning about the incident.


    Of course, it is not ruled out that Isaac simply wanted to make quick money, and helping the eldest brother was a temporary idea later.


    It just so happened that Fletcher sent his script to Hollywood for registration.


    Isaac got the script from Henry''s channel by some means.


    After briefly reading the script and designing it according to his own experience, Isaac immediately boarded the plane to New York to look for his comrade-in-arms Holki who had fought with him before.


    Holkey��s quality of life has always been poor, so he was quickly persuaded by his former comrades in arms.


    But thinking of Holky''s **** identity, Roan felt that the process of Isaac''s persuading Holkey might not be that simple.


    But no matter how Isaac persuaded Holkey, anyway, after a period of careful planning, the two of them officially debuted in New York.


    One of the tattoos seen by passers-by was also written by Holkey according to the script, and it was specially drawn on his arm to confuse the police.


    As for the person who helped Holkey draw the tattoo, according to the information obtained by William and other technicians, Isaac learned and made tattoos for his teammates when he was a soldier.


    "This is the general process of the whole case."


    Looking at the bumpy figure in front of him, Roan grinned and said:


    "Our No. 5 investigation team needs to do two things next:


    One is to find the spotters before the other three bank robberies, and the other is to immediately arrest Holkey and Isaac. Augustus has already arranged these two tasks. "


    Of course, in the whole case, there is still one question that has not been answered.


    That is the robbers in the fifth and sixth robberies, what happened to the missing reporter and groom that Brandon said.


    But considering that these people are all related to the gangs in that area, Roan decided to go back and see if there was any news related to him when he went fishing with Norton.


    "very good."


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Vernis narrowed her eyes slightly, raised the corners of her mouth, and nodded very satisfied.


    Immediately afterwards, before Roan could speak, Verenice''s face returned to its original state again, and after a light cough, she said calmly:


    "Since the case has been solved, I will report the matter to the officer later, and you don''t have to go this time."


    Hearing what Verinis said, Roan still had a smile on his face, without any dissatisfaction.


    I am just an ordinary grassroots detective, I often come to see the team leader Vernis, and the team leader Augustus allowed + know, and they are still in the same foundation.


    While the special agent supervisor, Corbett, is the superior officer in charge of the group, Roan has never heard from Verinis or Augustus that the other party has any relationship with the Columbus Foundation.


    Verinis''s thigh is very comfortable to hug, and Roan has no intention of changing the family yet.


    So for an FBI officer of Corbett''s level, Roan feels that he is still rare.


    One is An Wei Rui Nisi''s heart, saying that she has no idea of ??changing jobs, and the other is...


    One is only met once, the two sides exchanged less than ten sentences, do not know the attitude of the other party towards him, and the hair style is a little Mediterranean old white man.


    One is a female officer who has met and communicated many times, admires herself very much, and has a curvy figure, who is almost familiar.


    Any fool knows how to choose.


    "Good."


    Seeing that Roan didn''t show any expression of dissatisfaction after hearing what he said, Verinisi''s expression didn''t change, but she nodded in satisfaction from the bottom of her heart.


    Sure enough, she saw the right person.


    So Verinisi stopped talking nonsense and said directly:


    "I said before that if this case is successfully resolved within the stipulated time, you will be promoted to Senior Detective.


    On this point, the last time I took you to see the head of the special agent, the other party already agreed.


    After this case is completely dealt with, the relevant documents will be officially distributed to your No. 5 investigation team. "


    "Thank you, sir."


    Hearing this, Roan showed a sunny smile on his face, and after a pause for a few seconds, he frowned:


    "What about you, sir? I remember..."


    Verinis said before that if this case is solved, she will have a chance to take another step forward.


    The team leader is one step further, but he is the special agent leader.


    This is another reason why Roan doesn''t want to have more contact with Corbett:


    My own thigh has the opportunity to become the new special agent director, so why bother to hug the former special agent director''s thigh.


    Hearing Roan''s question, Vernis was slightly taken aback.


    After a while, Vernis narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Roan with deep eyes, leaned back, changed her legs up and down, and said calmly:


    "As the special agent director of the FBI''s New York branch, Corbett has worked for a long time and has excellent work ability. The Washington headquarters has noticed him.


    If there is no accident, he will be promoted to the Washington headquarters together with the director and deputy director of our FBI New York branch nine months later. "


    "Nine months?"


    Roan''s eyes lit up, and he immediately extracted the key words in Verinisi''s words.


    "Exactly."


    Regarding Roan''s reaction speed, Verinisi''s eyes showed a gleam of satisfaction.


    The two of them changed the topic at the same time. After asking about the details of the case, Vernis got up and prepared to leave the office.


    "correct."


    In the middle of getting up, Vernis suddenly remembered something, sat back down, and said to Roan:


    "Remember what I said before, after catching the robbers who robbed these six banks, these six banks will give a thank you money?"


    "certainly."


    Roan nodded. Why did he work so hard to solve this case? Not because of this thank you money.


    "But the bank is a bank after all, and they won''t pay a lot of gratitude."


    Hearing what Verinis said, Roan''s expression didn''t change. He was already mentally prepared for this.


    The United States is a capitalist country, and the banks are the capital of the capital. If they are expected to pay a million thanks like Sabina before, the president will not be able to do it.


    Sure enough, Vernis said immediately:


    "After taking over this case, I have contacted these banks, and they all said that as long as the robbers are caught, the bank is willing to pay 100,000 U.S. dollars in gratitude."


    Hearing this, Roan''s eyes lit up, which was much more than his previous guess.


    Don��t look at the fact that a bank pays less, but there are many banks that have been robbed!


    One bank is 100,000, and six banks are 600,000!


    Of course, this money belongs to the owner of investigation team No. 5.


    But Roan can get a lot, definitely not less.


    Just as Roan lowered his head and calculated how much money he could get, Vernis took out one of the folders on the side and threw it into Roan''s arms:


    "And one more thing."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 109： Security Advisors and Case Closure

    Chapter 109 Security Consultant and Case Closing


    Open the folder, and inside is a contract certificate.


    "This is?"


    Roan tilted his head and looked at Verinis, a little puzzled.


    "This is the bank that was robbed, intending to hire FBI insiders as their bank''s "security consultant" contract."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Vernis raised the corners of her mouth slightly, put away her legs, leaned forward, and said:


    "At that time, after learning about Brosen''s public resume and his experience in solving crimes over the years, these banks believed that it would not be a problem for Brosen to solve the case within the stipulated time.


    So after a brief chat with the special agent director Corbett, the bank intends to hire Brosen as the security consultant for these banks after the case is solved. "


    Hearing the word consultant, Roan grinned and frowned.


    In the United States, in addition to the magical "legal political donations", there is also a phenomenon called "political revolving door".


    That is, after some government officials in the United States retire or resign, they enter large companies, lobby groups, industry associations, law firms and other organizations to achieve reemployment.


    At the same time, talents in these large companies, lobby groups, industry associations, law firms and other organizations will also be absorbed by the American government, and will work for the American government and become government officials.


    A consultant is an important position in the political revolving door.


    What exactly this position does, no one can tell.


    But what everyone knows is that whoever hires a consultant must pay the consultant a lot of wages.


    Of course, Brosen, the "security consultant", certainly cannot reach the level of a political revolving door.


    But as long as he becomes a security consultant, he will definitely get a "consultant fee" from the bank.


    Thinking of this, Roan had some guesses, and looked up at Vernis.


    Verinis narrowed her eyes slightly, and continued to speak softly:


    "However, within the specified time, Brosen did not successfully solve the case, so the job of security consultant was not taken over by Brosen.


    However, the bank did not take away the contract, but said that whoever can solve the case will be the "security consultant".


    Now, this case is solved by you, so the position of consultant naturally belongs to you. "


    Hearing what Vernis said, Roan''s eyes lit up, he licked his lips and said with a smile:


    "Thank you very much for your support, sir!"


    The corners of Verinisi''s lips curled up slightly, and she simply explained a few words, saying that Luo An had collected this document, and when the bank paid the thank you money later, someone would sign this contract with him.


    Then, Vernis waved her hand, indicating that Roan could leave her office.


    She is now going to report the detection of the serial bank robbery to the special agent supervisor Corbett.


    ��


    Back to the No. 5 investigation team, Augustus is planning to take Ryder and Lacey to the conference room for a meeting, and arrange for the two of them to communicate with some departments of the local FBI after they go to California tomorrow.


    "Sir, I will also participate in this operation."


    Hearing the news, Roan immediately threw the folder to his workstation, then smiled at Augustus:


    "I haven''t made a cross-state arrest yet."


    FBI''s cross-state law enforcement often involves specific arrests, and it will ask the local SWAT for help.


    Search for relevant evidence, the local trace inspection department will also help.


    So Roan and the others just went there to supervise the operation and were responsible for bringing the prisoner and relevant evidence back safely.


    Of course, Roan Ryder and Lacey must not be the only three to **** the robbers back to New York. The FBI has a special plane for this kind of situation, and there are corresponding armed forces in the special plane.


    Regarding Roan''s request, Augustus pondered for a few seconds before agreeing.


    For the FBI, cross-state law enforcement is the norm.


    This operation is relatively simple, just arresting people. Let Roan experience the specific situation of cross-state law enforcement, which will help him train his performance in the face of this situation in the future.


    The four discussed for a long time in the conference room, mainly Augustus was talking, Roan, Ryder and Lacey were listening.


    After the meeting, Roan went to Augustus''s team leader''s office first, and briefly chatted with him about some details that he didn''t understand just now, and then returned to his desk.


    "Roan."


    As soon as she sat down in her chair, before she could stretch herself, Mona smiled, and the fly rubbed her hands and came over.


    Hearing Mona calling him, Roan immediately tilted his head to look at her.


    But seeing the other party''s appearance, Luo An''s mouth twitched suddenly, and he subconsciously stepped back from the chair:


    "Mona, what are you doing?"


    After speaking, Roan reacted abruptly.


    No! What do you have to be afraid of?


    "Nothing, I just have a question to ask you."


    Mona smiled, quickly moved the chair to Roan''s side, and asked in a low voice:


    "When this bank robbery is over, how much is the thank you money?"


    Glancing at Mona, Roan didn''t hide it from her, and directly told the other party the figure of 600,000.


    "What?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona''s eyes widened, she covered her mouth and exclaimed:


    "600,000 for a bank?"


    "How is it possible? One bank is 100,000, and six banks add up to 600,000."


    Roan rolled his eyes:


    "You don''t know the situation of those banks? 100,000 is cutting their flesh!"


    "That''s a lot!"


    Mona laughed when she heard the words, took out a calculator from nowhere, and began to calculate cracklingly.


    "..."


    Seeing this scene, the corner of Luo An''s mouth twitched.


    Is Mona so short of money?


    Soon, it was time to get off work again.


    Because of the business trip tomorrow, Lacey was very serious once, and instead of going to the bar to have fun at night, she went home and had a good night''s rest.


    Ryder went home to find his wife and children as usual. Luo An wanted to grab a meal at Mona''s house, but failed.


    Early the next morning, the three of Roan boarded the special plane of the FBI and headed for California, which is far away on the other side of the federal continent.


    Six hours later, the three of them successfully arrived in California. After connecting with the local FBI department, they went straight to the three targets.


    Roan took the SWAT and went straight to Holki floating in the sea.


    Ryder took SWAT and went straight to the villa where Isaac lived.


    Lacey''s target is Golden Light Films boss Henry Mitchell, so she didn''t bring SWAT, but rushed into the Golden Light Films company with the local FBI''s economic crime department.


    Roan and Ryder''s actions went smoothly.


    Holky on the yacht wanted to jump into the sea to escape, but was shot in the thigh by Roan, and directly hit the edge of the yacht with his head, and fell unconscious.


    Isaac, who was holding a multiplayer exercise in the villa, was startled by Ryder and others who suddenly rushed in, and he shook his body and confessed.


    After carefully searching the residence of the two, the FBI found some US dollar bills that had not been processed.


    Now that there are all witnesses and physical evidence, after Roan and Ryder processed the relevant evidence, the next day, they were directly thrown into the special plane of the FBI to **** the prisoner.


    The situation at Jinguang Films is a bit complicated. The accounts cannot be processed within a short period of time. Roan and Ryder have no choice but to return to New York first.


    But no matter what, the bank robbery has come to an end here. Augustus did not break his promise and announced on the spot that everyone would have a holiday next Monday and go back to work on Tuesday.


    "Thank you sir!"


    The agents of the No. 5 investigation team shouted loudly, applauding Augustus and Roan frantically.


    After learning of this, Matthews of the No. 14 investigation team clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were red.


    Special agent supervisor Corbett, sitting in the office, looked at the text version of the case report that Verinisi had submitted in response to his request that day, and frowned slightly.


    After thinking for a long time, I slowly ticked Roan''s name...


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 110： Reasons for the establishment of investigation team No. 5

    Chapter 110 Reasons for the establishment of investigation team No. 5


    Sunday, 8pm, Katherine Hepburn Bar.


    "cheers!"


    At a round table deep in the bar, Augustus, Roan, Mona, Ryder, and Lacey raised their glasses together.


    "It''s a pleasure to receive your invitation."


    Augus drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, then let out a long breath, and said with a smile to everyone:


    "It''s been a long time since I drank so happily!"


    Lacey picked up the wine bottle and filled Augustus again, while tilting her head and asking with a smile:


    "Your wife is very strict in this regard?"


    The No. 5 investigation team has not been established for a long time, and everyone only has a rough understanding of the family conditions of the members of the investigation team.


    Such as whether you are married and family members.


    Other details, the members of the No. 5 investigation team are not very clear with each other.


    "My wife? NO, I never drink to pass out, so she doesn''t care that I drink."


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Augustus smiled and shook his head, then patted his big belly again:


    "But my daughter cared a lot about it, so..."


    Augustus didn''t finish his sentence, but everyone present nodded in understanding.


    "To be honest, Lacey, the bar you chose is a bit beyond my expectation."


    Feeling the quiet music in the bar and the harmonious gathering of people around, Ryder took a bite of the food on the table, tilted his head to look at Lacey, and said with a smile:


    "When Roan told me before that the address of tonight''s party was chosen by you, I thought you would take us to a bar with catwalks."


    "The bars that show the show are all my treasures, and I will never tell you their addresses."


    Hearing this, Lacey put down the bottle and turned her head to give Ryder a blank look:


    "And I''ll give you the address, do you have the guts to go?"


    Yvonne is not easy to mess with. Lacey, who has been shopping and chatting with her, knows this very well.


    Mona also learned about this from Lacey, she immediately turned her head with great interest, and cast her eyes on Ryder.


    "Why not?"


    Seeing the expressions in the eyes of the two women, Ryder suddenly widened his eyes, his face was serious, and he patted his chest hard:


    "I''m going there to investigate, is there a problem?"


    Lacey and Mona immediately rolled their eyes, Roan chuckled and didn''t speak, but turned his gaze back to Augustus:


    "Sir, how did our No. 5 investigation team be established? Can you tell me?"


    This question has been in Roan''s mind for a long time.


    Obviously they have a total of thirteen investigation teams, and recently established a No. 14 investigation team.


    Why is their newly established investigation team ranked fifth.


    And all the newcomers, not a single member of the original No. 5 investigation team.


    Roan''s question also aroused the interest of the remaining three people.


    Mona, like Roan, has not been in the No. 5 investigation team for a long time, so she doesn''t know the specific situation.


    After Ryder and Lacey were transferred to the No. 5 investigation team, because of their previous work relationship, they subconsciously thought that there was a secret behind this matter, so they didn''t ask about it.


    Now that Roan mentioned this matter, they naturally want to know the answer behind this matter.


    "There''s nothing you can''t say."


    Seeing that several people on the table were all looking at him, Augustus frowned. After drinking another glass of wine, he hooked his hands to signal everyone to come to his side.


    Seeing this, the four of Luo An hurriedly straightened up and put their ears together.


    Then Augustus was heard whispering:


    "In fact, I do not know."


    Four people: "..."


    Seeing the wonderful expressions on the faces of Roan and others, Augustus raised his head and laughed.


    "Okay, no kidding."


    Laughed for a while, and when Roan and the others began to discuss several ways to evade orders in front of him, Augustus hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that it was just a joke.


    After coughing twice, the four of them approached Augustus again, only to hear Augustus whisper with a serious expression:


    "Actually, that''s a kind of contingency plan."


    When the No. 5 investigation team still existed, it handled a major case against a drug lord from a South American country dumping flour to New York.


    The case took half a year. The members of the former No. 5 investigation team not only successfully smashed the drug trafficking chain of the big drug lord, but even captured the son of the drug lord who was in charge of the operation of this route.


    Knowing that his son was caught by the FBI and put in prison to pick up soap every day, the big drug lord was furious.


    While trying to save his son, he kept sending killers to sneak into the federal territory, trying to kill all the former No. 5 investigation team members who were in charge of this case.


    Vernis did not know where she got this news. For the safety of the people below, she chose to seal up all the files related to this case. At the same time, she disbanded all the members of the former No. 5 investigation team and dispersed them to the New York branch of the FBI. other departments of the Ministry.


    Hearing this, Roan frowned. Vernis is indeed a good officer who talks about human nature.


    Immediately afterwards he asked in a low voice:


    "What about the big drug lords in South America?"


    Verinis is indeed human, but she also has a narrow-minded personality. Roan thinks that there is a high probability that Vernis will not keep the other party.


    "He died half a year ago, and the cause of death was a sudden myocardial infarction."


    Augus picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip and said with a smile:


    "After his death, the power was divided among his former subordinates, and the killers who entered the federal territory were also cleaned up.


    Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Verinisi did not recall the former No. 5 investigation team, but set up a new No. 5 investigation team.


    That''s us. "


    Hearing this, Ryder, Lacey and Mona looked at each other, and Qi Qi laughed.


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, and found that the thighs behind Vernis seemed thicker than he had imagined.


    Roan dare not say 100% of the big drug lords in South America, but 70% of them are supported by the relevant departments of the United States.


    These people appear to be drug lords, but they are actually agents of relevant departments.


    This kind of person, Vernis can actually think of a way to kill him...


    Although he didn''t know what method Verinis used, Roan took a sip of his wine, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and in his heart he increased the importance of Vernis to him.


    At the same time silently made up his mind:


    "This thigh, I hold it tight, even **** can''t stop me!"


    As for whether the drug lord died of myocardial infarction by chance...


    Thinking of what Lydia, the female owner of the Flame Queen Bar, said before, and thinking about the CIA who does all kinds of evil and does everything, Roan feels that there may not be so many coincidences in this world.


    Several people continued to chat for a while, Ryder suddenly remembered something, tilted his head and asked:


    "By the way, Roan, didn''t you agree to go fishing with Detective Norton from the Organized Crime Investigation Section?"


    Before Roan could answer, Mona frowned, turned her head and asked:


    "Fishing? Roan, do you have a fishing license?"


    In the United States, fishing is not free, and fishing licenses are required for fishing in public places.


    She didn''t want to see Roan being fined by NYPD afterward for fishing without a license.


    "I don''t have a fishing license, but yesterday was Free Fishing Day in New York."


    People without a fishing license can also fish on this day, so Roan went fishing with Norton yesterday.


    "How many fish did you catch?"


    Ryder''s eyes lit up, and August also looked at Roan with interest.


    "Norton caught some bass."


    Seeing the eyes of the two, Roan shrugged:


    "But when I got there, I found that I forgot to bring some things, so I didn''t go fishing. I just watched Norton catch fish all morning."


    "Forgot something?"


    The corner of Lacey''s mouth raised when she heard this:


    "You don''t have a fishing rod with you, do you?"


    Mona covered her mouth and snickered when she heard the words, and Ryder and Augustus also grinned after being stunned for a moment.


    "NO."


    Roan shook his head:


    "I brought the fishing rod, but I forgot the helmet."


    Four people: "???"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 111： Treasure chests and new cases appear

    Chapter 111 Treasure Chest and New Case Appear


    After the Sunday night party, the five went back to their homes.


    In the past few days, the system gave Roan an excellent and good evaluation.


    On the night when the bank robber was caught, the system rated it as excellent.


    While two bottles of stamina potion were opened from the treasure chest, two bottles of hemostatic potion that Luo An had been thinking about were also opened.


    At this time, there are 8 bottles of stamina potion, 4 bottles of night vision potion, 2 bottles of antidote potion, 2 bottles of hemostatic potion, 2 bottles of strength potion, 1 bottle of weakness potion, 1 bottle of sleep potion, and 1 bottle of water in Luo An''s system warehouse bar. Lung Elixir and 1 Flask of Fire Resistance.


    The reappearance of the hemostatic potion made Roan very excited, because the hemostatic potion could save lives at critical moments.


    But what Roan didn''t expect was that on Sunday night, after the dinner party, the system gave him a good evaluation, and then issued one $50 ticket and two $100 tickets.


    Looking at the 250 dollars in his hand, Roan fell into deep thought.


    The first thing that is certain is that $250 must...


    It should not be the system scolding itself.


    But Roan didn''t understand why the treasure chest would open out dollars again.


    Since when the system was first obtained, the treasure chest had given out a $20 and a $50 bill. These days, no matter what the system evaluates Roan, the final reward is potions.


    "Is it because I spent money tonight?"


    Shortly after the idea appeared in his mind, Roan threw it into the trash can.


    This is definitely not the reason why the treasure chest opened again with US dollars, because he also spent money every day before.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan wondered if it was because he invited Augustus to drink tonight.


    But after thinking for a few seconds, Roan also ruled out this idea.


    Just invite others to drink, and the treasure chest will give out US dollars... The system in my mind just looks rudimentary, but the internal logic is very smooth, and it is impossible for such an outrageous situation to occur.


    Finally, Roan set his sights on the calendar aside.


    "From the first day when I traveled here and obtained the system, today is exactly the fifteenth day."


    Luo An''s eyes narrowed slightly. If the system treasure chest opened for US dollars every 15 days, there would be a reasonable reason for this situation.


    Thinking of this, Roan drew a circle on the calendar decisively, and whispered to himself at the same time:


    "After fifteen days, let''s see what will be opened in the treasure chest of the system!"


    No work on Monday, so Roan spent the whole day supervising the work of the decoration company in the small apartment in Greenwich Village.


    According to the person in charge, it is estimated that the apartment will be completely completed in 30 days.


    That night, the system gave Roan a pass, and prescribed 2 bottles of stamina potions, but no more dollars appeared.


    Roan nodded, and in fourteen days, he knew that his guess was wrong.


    ��


    Tuesday, Jacobs Federal Building.


    "Good morning, Roan!"


    In the parking lot, Roan just got out of the Chevrolet, and Ryder also drove here.


    "Good morning, Ryder, there''s a spot here next to me."


    Roan waved his hand and greeted him, motioned Ryder to park the car next to his Chevrolet, and the two walked into the federal building together.


    "Ryder, I feel that your mental state is not very good."


    In the elevator, Roan saw Ryder yawning frequently, frowning slightly:


    "Didn''t you have a good rest last night?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Ryder yawned again:


    "I slept a little late yesterday."


    "OK."


    Seeing that Ryder had no intention of explaining, Roan didn''t continue to ask. As the elevator door opened, the two entered the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team together.


    Then Roan was surprised to see that Lacey, who used to lie down on the table to catch up on sleep in the morning, was actually sitting at the workstation in high spirits today, clattering on the computer.


    Looking at Ryder who started to catch up on sleep at his workstation, and then at the energetic Lacey, Roan frowned suddenly:


    These two people changed their souls?


    "Good morning, Roan."


    Seeing Roan entering the office area, Lacey raised her head and said hello.


    Then without waiting for Roan to answer, Lacey showed the laptop in her hand to Roan, and asked at the same time:


    "Remember the wanted man we found based on Freddie?"


    "certainly."


    Roan nodded, Freddy was the unlucky guy he hit with his skateboard earlier.


    Although the other party was not a bank robber, he was contacted by someone to make a bomb.


    Afterwards, Roan entered the information described by Freddy into the computer, and found that the person who asked him to make the bomb was a wanted criminal registered in the FBI database.


    Ogden-Scott, $400,000 reward.


    "When I went out to play games last night, I met a guy very similar to Ogden in an underground dance hall."


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Roan was taken aback for a moment, and then asked:


    "Really Ogden?"


    "Yesterday, I wasn''t sure, but now I''m sure, it''s indeed him."


    Seeing the expression on Roan''s face, Lacey spread her hands and explained:


    ��I went to dance there last night and there was a white guy leading a group of people out of the back of the room.


    The lights were too dim at the time, I just felt that the guy walking in the front looked a little familiar, but I couldn''t remember where I had seen it.


    It wasn''t until the other person left there that I remembered that I had seen his picture on your computer before.


    But when I chased them out, Ogden''s group had already driven away from the ballroom.


    I''m still one step too late. "


    "Don''t blame yourself, Lacey, it''s not your fault. The lights in the ballroom are so bright that it''s hard enough to see Ogden''s face."


    Roan patted Lacey on the shoulder, this kind of thing is definitely not her fault.


    Lacey shrugged, didn''t say much, but pointed to the data in the computer, and continued:


    "But fortunately, I asked about the license plate numbers of those people in Ogden last night.


    According to the license plate number and surveillance video, I have just found their current location. "


    Seeing the address and photos in the laptop, Roan grinned. Just as he was about to say something, Augustus'' familiar loud voice rang at the gate of the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Good morning, Detectives, gentlemen and ladies!"


    Roan looked back, only to see Augustus once again took Mona into the No. 5 investigation team.


    Mona greeted Roan, and sat back on her desk with her laptop in her arms. Augustus, carrying two folders, strode into the front of the No. 5 investigation team office area.


    "Congratulations everyone, the happy holiday is over, and we have a new case today!"


    Passed one of the folders to William, asking him to distribute the information inside to everyone. Augustus opened the other folder and read aloud:


    "Evander Davis from Uptown Brooklyn was very unfortunate in a car accident last night and died at the scene.


    This case was judged to be an accident by NYPD, but my superior, Team Director Verenes, asked us to carefully examine this case, including the autopsy report and NYPD report..."


    After listening to Augustus'' description, all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team frowned, and Lacey even raised her hand and asked:


    "Sir, it seems that car accidents are not within our scope of work."


    "You''re right."


    Before Augustus could answer, Verenice''s cold voice came from outside the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Hello, sir."


    Waved his hand to signal to everyone not to continue talking, then walked to the front of the office area, looked at everyone with a serious face and said:


    "But this time the order comes from Washington and is the highest priority."


    Hearing this, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team became serious.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 112： If nothing else, it should be an accident

    Chapter 112 If there is no accident, it should be an accident


    After Verinis��s words fell, all members of the No. 5 investigation team frowned.


    Augus is no exception, Vernis didn''t tell him this just now.


    Luo An glanced at the information in his hand, pondered for a few seconds and raised his head to ask:


    "Sir, does this Evander Davis have anything to do with our FBI?"


    Verinis shook her head: "As far as I know, no."


    Mona on the side remembered something, and asked with an unnatural expression:


    "Then this Evander Davis is related to a certain executive in Washington?"


    "This is not shown in the data."


    Verinis understood the meaning of Mona''s words, shook her head and said with a serious face:


    "Everyone, this mission is just a routine mission.


    We just have to run through the accident Evander Davis had last night and make sure it was really just an accident, okay? "


    All the detectives of investigation team No. 5 nodded in unison:


    "clear!"


    Verinis tilted her head and looked at Augustus:


    "The rest will be left to you."


    "No problem, sir."


    Seeing that Augustus agreed in a deep voice, Verinisi nodded in satisfaction, glanced at Roan, then turned and left the No. 5 investigation team office area.


    "Okay, everyone, this case doesn''t look complicated..."


    After the figure of Vernis left the No. 5 investigation team completely, Augustus threw away the folder in his hand. Just as he was about to arrange the next work, Roan and Lacey suddenly raised their hands to signal that they had something to say.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Augustus frowned: "You two found the clue so quickly?"


    "It is indeed a clue, but not in this case."


    Roan smiled and turned his gaze to Lacey.


    Lacey didn''t talk nonsense, and directly picked up the laptop on the workstation, and briefly described to Augustus the last thing she ran into Ogden.


    "You have a good luck, Lacey."


    After listening to Lacey''s description, Augustus was taken aback for a moment, and then grinned:


    "Didn''t you find time to buy some Powerball tickets last night?"


    "I decided to buy it later."


    Lacey shrugged, then asked:


    "What''s next for this Ogden?"


    "Of course I will bring him back immediately!"


    Ogden''s reward was a full 400,000 US dollars, who would think it was too much.


    After pondering for a while, Augustus patted Ryder on the shoulder, then tilted his head and said to Lacey:


    "You two go together, pay attention to safety, be careful."


    "Okay, sir."


    The two nodded in agreement.


    "Roan."


    Seeing Ryder and Lacey going to the equipment warehouse together, Augustus turned his head and said to Roan:


    "I''ll leave it to you and Mona to investigate whether the car accident was an accident."


    "no problem."


    Roan nodded in agreement, and then...


    Sighed.


    It''s not that Roan also wants to arrest that Ogden. He was the one who discovered the clues about Ogden before. After the guy is caught, he can also get a sum of money.


    The reason Roan sighed was because of the car accident.


    When Roan saw the car accident, Roan had an intuition:


    If there are no accidents, this car accident should not be an accident.


    ��


    The home of the deceased Evander Davis.


    "The people from NYPD told me that Evander should have crashed into a big tree next to the road in order to avoid animals that suddenly rushed out when he was driving last night."


    In the living room, Evander''s wife Tanya''s eyes were red, and she said while sobbing:


    "I had already made supper at that time, and I was waiting for him at home, but I didn''t expect..."


    Last night, the car accident took place in a small forest area outside New York. Evander drove into a big tree on the side of the road. The front of the car tilted up. The driver suffered a head injury and died on the spot.


    "Feel sorry."


    Mona, who was sitting next to Tanya, took out a tissue and handed it to her. Roan walked into Evander''s study with Tanya''s permission.


    After comforting Tanya for a while, Mona saw that Tanya''s mood had stabilized, so she asked gently:


    "Tanya, what is Evander''s job? Is it related to the government?"


    "Evander is a photojournalist."


    Tanya picked up a tissue and wiped the tears on her face, and said in a low voice:


    "We have just been married for a year, and he rarely mentions his work to me..."


    The content of Tanya''s narration is basically consistent with the information investigated by the No. 5 investigation team.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Mona continued to ask in a low voice:


    "Who did Evander have a problem with before his death? Or did he mention it to you, who intends to hurt him?"


    "Evander has a good personality and never loses his temper. It is precisely because of this that I married him."


    Tanya shook her head again and again:


    "Evander has a very good relationship with his colleagues. I have met every one of them, and they don''t look like they have any enmity with Evander..."


    Mona frowned slightly, and continued to ask:


    "Excuse me, do you know about Evander''s recent work?"


    When she learned that Evander was a photojournalist, Mona had a guess:


    Ivande might have photographed something that shouldn''t have been photographed, and then someone silenced him.


    "As I said just now, Evander seldom mentioned his work affairs to me. He only had a business trip recently, and the time was less than a week..."


    Tanya spoke, her face changed suddenly, and she finally came to her senses:


    "Wait, why are you FBI asking these questions? Why are you investigating this car accident?"


    Seeing Tanya anxiously grabbing Mona''s shoulder and not letting go, Roan, who came out of the study, explained softly:


    "Please calm down, Mrs. Davis, these are just routine inquiries, okay?"


    "...OK."


    Tanya was silent for a while after hearing the words, let go of her hand and nodded slowly.


    After asking a few more questions, Roan handed over his business card to the other party, indicating that if the other party remembered something later, he could call him.


    Then, Roan took Mona and left Evander''s house.


    "From Tanya alone, this is indeed an ordinary accident."


    Sitting back on the co-pilot of the SUV, Mona picked up her notebook and tapped, asking at the same time:


    "What about you, Roan? Did you just find something?"


    "I didn''t find any useful information in the study, and Ivande kept the laptop with me all the time."


    Roan, who was sitting in the driver''s seat, started the car and shook his head:


    "However, Tanya just mentioned that Evander has been on a business trip recently. I think I can check the address and details of his business trip."


    "I''m checking."


    Mona pointed to the computer in her hand, indicating that she was working.


    Take out your phone and look at it, Roan frowned, and then said:


    "I just received two messages here. Evander''s car that was involved in the accident has begun to be transferred to the Jacobs Federal Building, but Evander''s body is still in NYPD.


    So we''ll go to the NYPD first, look up Evander''s body, and then take his laptop and go back to the Jacobs Federal Building to look at the car. "


    "no problem."


    Mona gave Roan an OK gesture, ten fingers fluttered on the keyboard, Roan immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the dark SUV rushed out in the direction of NYPD.


    ��


    "The cause of this gentleman''s death is very simple."


    In the anatomy room of NYPD, the old white medical examiner spread his hands when he learned of Roan and Mona''s intentions:


    ��The crash left him with severe head and chest injuries and ultimately resulted in death.��


    Roan leaned on his chin and pondered for a few seconds, then tilted his head and asked:


    "What about the blood test? Did you find anything?"


    The old forensic doctor heard this, smiled and snapped his fingers:


    "good question!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 113： Thief

    Chapter 113 Thief


    Seeing the old forensic doctor''s actions, Mona''s eyes lit up beside Roan:


    "Really found something?"


    "No, found nothing."


    The old forensic doctor took off his mask, picked up the coffee next to him and took a sip slowly:


    "No alcohol, no drugs, or any unknown substances were found, but the cholesterol is a bit high."


    "..."


    Mona''s eyelids trembled when she heard this, and then she gave the other party a hard look.


    The old forensic doctor smiled nonchalantly.


    Mona is about the same age as his daughter, the words just now were just a habitual joke of the old forensic doctor to tease others.


    "That''s a good thing, Mona."


    Roan was not angry, but looked up at the old forensic doctor with a smile:


    "This means that Evander simply died in a car accident, right?"


    "It''s still the most common kind of car accident."


    The old forensic doctor was very satisfied with Roan''s attitude, and nodded with a smile:


    "The kind that has nothing new."


    Mona also reacted at this time.


    It is indeed a sad thing for someone to die in a car accident, but for the FBI, it is actually a good thing that the other party died simply because of an accident.


    The purpose of their trip is to confirm that the other party died in an accident.


    "Thank you for your judgment."


    Roan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the old forensic doctor, then asked:


    "By the way, did Evander still have some belongings when he was sent here? We need to check the laptop among them."


    "They''re all in the next office."


    The old forensic doctor put down his coffee cup with a smile, got up and left the dissection room, and led the two to the bookcase in the left office.


    A few seconds later, the old forensic doctor frowned, and his voice became a little stiff:


    "Both, the gentleman''s belongings seem to have been taken away."


    "What?"


    Hearing this, Mona''s expression became solemn, and Roan carefully looked at the office:


    "Is there surveillance video here?"


    "Not in the office."


    The old forensic doctor shook his head first, then nodded, and hurriedly left the office and walked towards the morgue opposite the dissection room:


    "But there is a camera at the door of the morgue."


    A few minutes later, the surveillance video of the entrance of the morgue facing the corridor appeared on Mona''s computer.


    I saw a short-cut white man wearing the same uniform as the old forensic doctor, but without a mask, slowly entering the office. Thirty seconds later, the short-cut white man walked out of the office with a bag of things.


    The surveillance video was fairly clear. Roan and Mona saw that what the white man with the short hair took was Evander''s laptop.


    "Shit!"


    The old forensic doctor on the side watched the video, and suddenly became furious.


    Seeing Roan turn his gaze to himself, the old forensic doctor immediately waved his hand:


    "This guy is not from our bureau! I''ve been working here for decades and I''ve never seen him!"


    Roan heard the words, first glanced at Mona, then sighed:


    "I knew it, this case is not that simple."


    ��


    No. 5 investigation team office area, in the team leader''s office.


    "So, this case really wasn''t an accident?"


    Seeing Augustus closing his eyes and rubbing his temple with his right hand, Roan''s face was also very bad, and he spread his hands:


    "The high probability is not an accident. No thief will go to the NYPD autopsy room to steal things."


    "OK, I will report this to Verenes."


    Augus was silent for a moment, looked up at Roan and asked:


    "What are you going to do next? Have an idea?"


    "Mona has extracted the person who appeared in the video, and is now doing face comparison."


    Roan picked up the coffee and took a sip, then said:


    "Evander''s car that got into an accident will be sent to the Jacobs Federal Building in thirty minutes. I''ll go and check it carefully, maybe I''ll find some clues there."


    "Good."


    Augus nodded in satisfaction, after a moment of silence, he slapped his head suddenly, smiled and said to Roan:


    "Lacey called me just now, that Ogden has been caught by her and Ryder, and is expected to be back in half an hour.


    When this Ogden is brought to court, a reward of 400,000 will be issued to you. "


    Luo An immediately smiled when he heard the words:


    "Thank you, sir, I will tell Lacey and the others the news."


    After continuing to chat for a while, Roan got up and left the team leader''s office.


    Sit back on his desk, Roan moved the chair to Mona''s side, just about to speak, Mona pointed at the computer and said:


    "I have already checked out the situation of Evander''s recent business trip.


    At the invitation of the military, he went to a certain seaport to take photos of soldiers and put them in newspapers for publicity.


    The whole process was recorded, and Evander obeyed the arrangements throughout the whole process, and he was not found to have any special behavior, so this car accident should have nothing to do with this business trip. "


    Hearing the word military, Roan frowned, and subconsciously thought of the story of 9 sheep worth $6 million.


    Shaking his head and throwing aside the thoughts in his head, Roan asked:


    "What about the identity of the person who stole?"


    "NO."


    Mona stopped typing on the keyboard, stretched her hands back fiercely, shook her head and said:


    "That guy has no criminal record, and several jails nearby couldn''t find his identity.


    Not only that, I also checked the surveillance video outside and inside NYPD just now, but I didn''t find the other party''s figure. "


    "Not in the police station?"


    Roan frowned upon hearing this.


    "No."


    Mona also said solemnly:


    "The figure of the other party only appeared once in the surveillance video at the door of the morgue.


    And I didn''t find any traces that the video has been tampered with or erased. "


    The implication is that the white man with a cropped hair in the video somehow escaped most of the police officers in the police station.


    Hearing this, Roan''s face changed slightly, and he leaned back on the chair, with his hands folded in front of his chest, and his eyes were fixed on the short-haired white man in the video:


    "I''m afraid this case is deeper than we thought..."


    ��


    Jacobs Federal Building, Trace Inspection University Site.


    The car in which Evander was involved in a car accident finally arrived here, and Roan and Mona were carefully observing the car at this time.


    "The airbag has fully deployed."


    Opening the door of the cab, Roan carefully looked at the specific situation of the cab.


    "You know that, Roan."


    Hearing what Roan said, Mona, who was wearing gloves on her hand, raised her eyebrows:


    "If you''re driving too fast, the airbags won''t do anything, and the driver will get hurt or get hurt, or die or die."


    "Are you suggesting I drive slower in the future?"


    Luo An heard the words, tilted his head and grinned: "Next time."


    "snort."


    Mona wrinkled her nose, opened the rear door, waved her hand to disperse the oncoming dust, and asked at the same time:


    "Did you find anything?"


    "A little."


    Roan nodded, pointed at the steering wheel of the car and said:


    "There are blood splatters on the dashboard and windshield."


    Mona tilted her head in doubt:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    "Under normal circumstances, there will be no splash-type bloodstains there, because there are airbags as protection and blocking in the middle."


    Roan tugged on the seat belt of the driver''s seat and explained at the same time:


    "But the blood stains appeared there, which means that the moment the car was hit, the airbag did not deploy directly.


    After Evander hit the steering wheel hard and blood spurted out, the airbag finally deployed. "


    "so,"


    Mona narrowed her eyes when she heard this, "Is this car tampered with?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 114： strangle marks

    Chapter 114 Stretch marks


    "That''s right, and there is more than one place where the other party has tampered with."


    Hearing what Mona said, Roan nodded, and then pulled out the seat belt on the driver''s seat:


    "Someone tampered with here too."


    Mona looked at the somewhat damaged seat belt, tilted her head in doubt:


    "Can you elaborate?"


    "Evander''s car is equipped with a pre-tightening function for the seat belt, that is, when the vehicle collides, the seat belt will be tightened in about 0.1 seconds to protect the safety of the driver."


    Roan showed the preloading device of this car to Mona, and said solemnly:


    "But obviously, when the car hit the tree, it wasn''t doing its job."


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Mona was silent for a few seconds, and swallowed slowly.


    ��


    The office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Agents gentlemen and ladies, we have bad news!"


    Augus with a big belly was holding a folder, standing at the front of the office area, and shouted with a serious expression:


    "After the painstaking investigation of Detectives Luo An and Detective Mona, it can now be confirmed that this car accident was not an accident! It was a complicated murder case designed as an accident!


    I want to know, who would set up such a complicated situation in order to kill an ordinary photojournalist?


    Now, everyone, get moving, dig deep into Evander''s life experience for me, and call out everything he has done! "


    Having said that, August paused, and turned his gaze to Mona:


    "The guy who stole Evander''s laptop, have you found out his identity?"


    "not yet."


    Mona shook her head: "The opponent is very skilled, and seems to know the layout of the cameras and how to avoid them."


    "Now put this man who stole as the number one suspect."


    Augus frowned when he heard this, and then turned his gaze to Roan, who was sitting at his desk and looking down at the information:


    "Roan, what do you think?"


    "The process of Evander''s car accident is a bit strange."


    Hearing Augustus calling himself, Roan raised his head, held up the information in his hand and said:


    "I don''t quite understand how the murderer ensured that Evander''s car went wrong on the road in the woods and crashed into a big tree.


    So, I suggest to investigate the first person who called the police next. According to the information, their car has been following Evander''s car, and they witnessed the whole process of the car accident.


    I think they may have seen some clues that were ignored by NYPD. "


    "very good!"


    After listening to Roan''s words, the word satisfaction was written all over August''s **** face.


    Roan can always find clues and ideas, and he is indeed the talent he likes.


    Augus waved his hand, indicating that Roan has the final say on the direction of the next specific investigation.


    But in the end, Augustus said to Roan with a serious face:


    "The enemy this time is not simple. At critical moments, you must pay attention to safety. The most important thing is to protect yourself."


    "Okay, sir."


    Roan grinned when he heard this.


    When I walked into the equipment warehouse, I took a few more bombs than before.


    Lacey who went on missions with him: "..."


    ��


    The SUV soon arrived at the outskirts of the community where the person who reported the accident lived.


    "According to the information, the reporter is a couple. The husband is an engineer and the wife is a teacher."


    Lacey flipped through the information in her hand, and said indifferently:


    "It looks like an ordinary middle-class family. It should just happen to run into this car accident."


    "hope so."


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Roan replied casually, carefully checked the equipment on his body, and after confirming that the plate armor + shock bombs + two Glock 18+ extended magazines were all right, he opened the door and got out of the car.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    "Hello! Is anyone home?"


    Lacey stepped forward and patted the door of the house hard.


    Waiting for a few seconds, footsteps came, and a male voice came from the room:


    "who are you?"


    "FBI!"


    Lacey took out the golden badge and showed it to the other party:


    "We have something to ask."


    Seeing the golden badge, the door opened a few seconds later, and a middle-aged Caucasian male with red eyes appeared in front of Roan and Lacey.


    "Feel sorry."


    The male owner of the house, Chance, hurriedly invited the two into the living room, first poured a glass of water for Roan and Lacey, and then pushed the books on the table aside.


    Finally, he sat on the sofa, rubbed his hands, looked at Roan and Lacey, and asked loudly:


    "Excuse me, what can you do for me?"


    Seeing the other party walking around the house wearing leather shoes and a work shirt, and accidentally showing brand-new strangle marks on his wrist, Roan frowned suddenly.


    "Don''t be nervous, Mr. Chance."


    Lacey frowned, and then asked in a gentle voice:


    "We are here this time to ask you some details about the car accident that you reported to the police last night, OK?"


    "no problem!"


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Chance nodded hurriedly, and then forced a smile:


    "What details do you want to ask?"


    Lacey was about to speak when Roan suddenly reached out his hand to stop her.


    Under Lacey''s puzzled eyes, Roan asked loudly:


    "Excuse me, Mr. Chance, what did you two do last night? Why did you come home so late?"


    On the other side, Roan took out a piece of paper from the book next to him, picked up a pen to write, and then showed it to Chance.


    Unknown why, Lacey glanced at Roan, and then turned her gaze to the paper.


    I saw that it was written on the paper:


    "Mr. Chance, please answer my question normally without changing your tone.


    At the same time, if your wife is being coerced, please put your hands together, we will do our best to rescue her. "


    After reading the text written by Roan, Lacey''s pupils constricted instantly, and she subconsciously reached for the pistol at her waist.


    Chance also had a pupil quake, looking at Roan in shock.


    Seeing Roan shaking the paper impatiently, Qian Si, who finally came to his senses, put his palms together, nodded frantically and pointed to the upstairs bedroom, and said tremblingly:


    "My husband and I went to a concert last night, so we got home late..."


    Chance''s answer Lacey no longer cares, she is very shocked now, and really wants to ask Roan how he found out.


    But it is important to save people at critical moments, so Lacey took out her pistol and looked at Roan, asking silently:


    What to do next?


    At this time, Roan''s face was very solemn. After thinking for a few seconds, he continued to ask Chance questions while writing on the paper:


    "Call for backup. Keep asking questions. Don''t show off. I''ll find my way upstairs."


    Seeing Roan''s text, Lacey took a deep breath and nodded heavily, then turned her head and began to comfort Mr. Chance, writing to make the other party''s voice sound more normal, and continued to ask him questions.


    At the same time, Lacey also took out her mobile phone and sent a text message, briefly explaining the current situation and calling for support.


    On the other side, Roan, who was fully armed, looked dignified, holding a Glock 18, slowly stepped up the stairs in a fighting posture, and successfully entered the second floor of the house without making the slightest sound.


    There are three bedrooms on the second floor of the house, of which only the door of the master bedroom is closed.


    Coupled with the fact that Mr. Chance said just now that his wife was in the master bedroom, Roan immediately moved a little bit to the door of the master bedroom.


    Standing at the door of the bedroom, two breathing sounds faintly entered Roan''s ears from the room.


    Seeing this, Roan hooked his mouth, and slowly took out a shock bomb from his pocket.


    But the next second...


    boom!


    Clah��


    Just as Roan took a deep breath and was about to act, there was a loud noise in the master bedroom, followed by the sound of glass breaking.


    "Fuck!"


    Hearing this voice, Roan cursed in a low voice, kicked open the bedroom door and rushed in.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 115： CIA agent

    Chapter 115 CIA Agent


    In the master bedroom, a neatly dressed, gagged middle-aged Caucasian woman was tied to a chair with a rope after putting her hands down.


    Boom!


    The loud noise from the bedroom door being kicked open suddenly made her tremble all over in fright.


    Already in a state of fear, she almost cried.


    But after seeing the FBI logo on Roan''s body, the woman paused, and then hurriedly yelled.


    But Roan took a glance and found that the other party was not injured, so he ignored the other party.


    The window on the left of the master bedroom was completely broken at this moment. The moment Roan broke into the room, he clearly saw a figure jumping out of the master bedroom from the window.


    Running quickly to the broken window, I saw a short-haired white male rolling forward on the grass outside the house, and then immediately got up and flew into the distance.


    There were obstacles where the opponent was running. Roan had no way to shoot directly. Without hesitation, he jumped out of the broken window in the master bedroom just like the short-haired white man under the surprised gaze of the woman. .


    When the sound of glass shattering came from the second floor of the house, Lacey in the living room on the first floor also stood up abruptly.


    Grabbing Mr. Chance to hide behind the sofa, Lacey was about to rush upstairs when she saw someone jumping into the yard.


    Seeing this, Lacey decisively picked up her pistol and rushed out of the living room.


    Boom!


    As soon as Lacey ran out, Roan''s figure fell heavily beside her.


    "Fu-k!"


    Lacey was taken aback by Roan who fell from the sky, but Roan didn''t talk nonsense, and said directly:


    "You left and I right!"


    After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lacey to react, Roan''s figure was like a sharp sword, and rushed in the direction where the short-haired white man was fleeing.


    "Shit!"


    Seeing Roan who disappeared in the blink of an eye, Lacey was shocked. After realizing it, she hurriedly ran in another direction, and at the same time cursed in a low voice:


    "Damn it, I have to ask Roan what he eats every day!


    Why is he wearing so heavy, but still running so fast! "


    On the other side, the white man with an inch-length hair saw Roan, who was fully armed but getting closer to him, and who seemed not tired at all, looked shocked and cursed likewise:


    "Son of the beach! What the **** is going on with this FBI?"


    In his plan, Roan was wearing such heavy clothes, it must be very easy to get rid of the opponent, at least two sharp turns, no more than four sharp turns.


    But now there are seven sharp turns, not only did Roan not be thrown away by him, but he was getting closer and closer to him!


    "People in front listen up!"


    Leaping over the trash can that was dragged to the ground by the short-haired white man, Roan measured the distance between the two sides, and after confirming that there were no obstacles between the two sides, he raised the Glock 18 and shouted loudly:


    "If you run again, I will shoot you!"


    There is no way, the other party has never fired at him. If Roan shoots directly without explaining, he will definitely face some procedural problems in the follow-up.


    From the perspective of American law alone, being shot in the back and being shot in the chest are two different things.


    And the other party is not black... Ahem.


    Hearing Roan''s words that he was going to shoot himself, the short-haired white man was slightly startled but not very panicked.


    Because the hit rate of shooting while running is not too high, he doesn''t believe how accurate the FBI''s marksmanship with good stamina can be, and at most he just fires a few random shots.


    And there is a sharp turn ahead, just one more step, and he has a chance to get rid of this **** FBI...


    The next second, Roan narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger decisively.


    boom! boom! boom!


    There were three shots in total, one of which hit the right back of the white man with an inch cut, and the remaining two shots hit the left and right calves of the white man with an inch.


    Boom!


    "ah-"


    The inch-headed white man let out a scream, and fell to the ground straight forward.


    Feeling the pain from all over his body, the white man with a short hair cut cursed from the bottom of his heart, but there was no curse sound from his mouth.


    "Run, you should keep running."


    Walking slowly to the side of the short-cut white man, Roan holding a Glock 18 said in a cold voice:


    "Why didn''t you run away?"


    The white man with an inch hair didn''t speak, just stared at Roan so coldly.


    Seeing this, Roan had some thoughts in his heart, then raised the corner of his mouth and put away his pistol, took out the handcuffs and walked to the side of the short-haired white man, ready to handcuff him.


    At this moment, the short-cut white man suddenly jumped up enduring the pain. While reaching for the pistol at Roan''s waist with his left hand, he stretched out his right hand toward Roan''s neck.


    This is the moment that the white guy with the cut head is waiting for. Injuries are commonplace for him, but in the end he always wins.


    The reason is very simple, that is, he has never been able to make a comeback and slap the enemy in the face when others think they have the chance to win.


    But at this moment, a sudden gust of wind hit, and the white man with a short cut was hit **** the face, his nose collapsed, and his body slammed heavily against the wall behind him.


    Roan punched the white man with a short head, stepped forward, and then kicked him **** the nose again.


    The nose is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, and a critical blow will cause people to lose concentration instantly.


    Roan''s two consecutive critical strikes directly stunned the white man with short hair.


    "You think I didn''t notice your little movements?"


    Seeing the other party''s incredible expression, Roan grinned:


    "I will never let down my vigilance against the enemy, even if the opponent is shot and falls to the ground."


    Hearing Luo An''s words, the short-cut white man spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth instantly, and his face instantly turned a liver color.


    Damn it, who''s in the FBI now?


    Taking a few deep breaths, the short-haired white man calmed down slowly, wiped the blood on his face, then looked up at Roan, and said coldly:


    "I am��"


    Boom!


    As soon as the inch-headed white man started speaking, Roan kicked him in the neck and knocked him out:


    "I don''t care who you are."


    The other party''s actions of strangling his neck and grabbing the gun just now are not fake.


    When Lacey finally arrived here with a pistol, she saw a white man with a short hair lying on the ground covered in blood, and Roan was making a call with his mobile phone.


    "It came just in time."


    Seeing Lacey, Roan hung up the phone and waved to her with a smile:


    "The ambulance will be here soon. Take this guy to the hospital. Be sure to keep an eye on him. Augustus has something to tell me to go back."


    Lacey, who had been running for a long time, heard this, stood on the spot and opened her mouth, finally sighed, and agreed with her forehead:


    "OK."


    ��


    The office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    When Roan came back here, he found that Mona was not at his station, and asked William, but the other party didn''t know where she had gone.


    "Roan!"


    At this moment, the door of the conference room opened suddenly, and Augustus beckoned him to come in quickly.


    "Hello, sir."


    Keeping the question of where Mona went to the bottom of his heart, Roan entered the meeting room, and found Vernis here, and hurriedly greeted her.


    "Um."


    Verinis nodded expressionlessly, motioned for Roan and Augustus to sit down, pointed to the white old lady with gray hair in a suit sitting on the other side of the conference table, and introduced in a cold voice:


    "This is Mrs. Heloise from the CIA. The white man with the short hair who stole Evander''s laptop is her agent."


    Hearing what Verinis said, Roan was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression became weird.


    After briefly introducing the situation of the two parties, Vernis straightened up and looked coldly at the old lady sitting opposite her:


    "Mrs. Heloise, what is the situation of this case? Why did your CIA intervene?


    According to the regulations, the CIA is not allowed to operate within the federal territory! "

 Chapter 116： jacquel jon

    Chapter 116 Jacquel Jon


    Investigation Team No. 5, in the meeting room.


    Hearing what Verenes said, the gray-haired Mrs. Heloise remained expressionless.


    After taking a sip of the coffee on the table, she said calmly:


    ��The stakes are high this time, and in situations like this, we generally act first and then ask for forgiveness and approval.��


    Verinis and Augustus looked very unhappy when they heard this.


    Ro An on the side was expressionless, but nodded in his heart.


    That''s right, it''s the style of the CIA.


    In his last life, he saw a saying on the Internet that the FBI, DEA and police officers from various local police stations used their lives to destroy drug dealers, but behind those drug dealers was the CIA...


    CIA has never disappointed people in terms of not doing personnel.


    "snort!"


    Seeing the indifferent expression on Mrs. Heloise''s face, Vernis snorted coldly, and asked in a deep voice:


    "What happened to this car accident?"


    Madam Heloise did not speak, and slowly turned her gaze to Roan, who was aside, and said softly:


    "The level of this agent seems not enough."


    Luo Anli ignored her, but Vernis narrowed her eyes slightly and leaned back:


    "Agent Roan Greenwood is a senior agent of Investigation Team No. 5, and the letter of appointment is now in my office."


    Hearing this, Mrs. Heloise frowned, her eyes fixed on Vernis.


    Verinis did not show any weakness, and stared back blankly.


    The two women of different ages just looked at each other for a while, and finally Mrs. Heloise''s complexion changed slightly, and she spoke after a long silence:


    "This matter is related to a soldier named Jacquel Jon."


    Hearing Jacquel Jon''s name, Roan froze for a moment, then his eyebrows jumped.


    This name sounds familiar.


    Roan lowered his head to think, and after Mrs. Heloise stroked the hair next to her ear, she continued:


    "Jacquel Jon was one of the soldiers who survived a certain mission and was ruled dead.


    But afterwards he became an avenger, wanting to kill all the officers who arranged that mission, and avenge his dead comrades. "


    Verinis also vaguely felt that the name Jacquele was familiar, but she didn''t remember where she had heard it for a while.


    But after hearing Mrs. Heloise''s words, Vernis smiled disdainfully from the bottom of her heart.


    Who doesn''t know about the **** the CIA did.


    However, there are still some issues in this case that have not been clarified, so Vernis asked directly:


    "What does this matter have to do with Evander?"


    "Evander was invited to participate in that operation as a reporter."


    Mrs. Heloise leaned back, crossed her hands on her thighs, and said softly:


    "But before the mission officially started, Evander withdrew temporarily, so he survived.


    Jacquel may think that Evander knew some inside information afterwards, and that Evander and their chief were in the same group, so he killed him.


    In fact, Evander had nothing to do with that mission. "


    After listening to this passage, Augustus on the side looked up after pondering for a few seconds and asked:


    "Why did your agent steal Evander''s laptop?


    Is there any relevant information about Jacquel Jon on the computer? "


    Mrs. Heloise heard the words, after a long silence, she said expressionlessly:


    "There is no information related to Jacquel Jon in the computer.


    I sent my men to get that computer, just to make sure that Evander''s computer didn''t contain any relevant information about the original mission. "


    After listening to what Mrs. Heloise said, Vernis asked directly:


    "What happened to that action back then?"


    Mrs. Heloise spread her hands, expressionless:


    "Sorry, no comment."


    As soon as the voice fell, the air in the entire conference room froze instantly.


    Verinis looked at the old lady sitting across from her with an unfriendly expression on her face. The old lady didn''t seem to see Vernis'' gaze, and she was still sitting on the chair with a blank expression.


    "Sir."


    Just when the air in the room seemed to be about to explode, Roan coughed lightly, first gave Vernis a smile, and then said softly:


    "Remember Lydia, the owner of the Flame Queen Bar?"


    In the case of the NSA''s large-scale fairy dance, the bar owner Lydia once mentioned one thing, that is, she contacted Roan to further contact Mona.


    The contact with Mona is to get in touch with Mona''s father, Javari Evans, a CIA staff operation officer in a certain area.


    According to Lydia, a certain operation led by Javari a year ago was unsuccessful, and there were casualties beyond the plan.


    This Jacquel Jon was one of the soldiers judged to be killed in that mission.


    At the same time, the NSA also asked the CIA about this matter after hearing about Jacquil from a gangster in the country.


    After hearing Roan''s words, Vernis was silent for a while, and also remembered this matter.


    Then he looked at Mrs. Heloise even more unkindly.


    Mrs. Heloise didn''t know about this, but she had some thoughts in her heart and planned to go back and check.


    As for Vernis'' gaze, she pretended not to see it.


    After taking a sip of coffee, Mrs. Heloise straightened up, looked around and said in a serious tone:


    "According to the information I have in hand, Jacquel Jon will not leave New York in the short term.


    So your next task is to..."


    "Excuse me, Mrs. Heloise."


    The old lady was interrupted by Vernis waving her hand as soon as she started speaking.


    Verinis left the chair and stood up slowly, looked at the old lady sitting opposite with a cold face, and said in a deep voice:


    "I will direct the specific investigation tasks. You only need to be responsible for observing and making suggestions, understand?"


    Hearing this, the old lady''s face changed slightly, and after quietly looking at Vernis for a while, she asked:


    "I have more information in my hand, which will allow us to find Jacquel Jon more quickly."


    "Then give me those materials."


    Verinis stared at the other party with her eyes, her voice was frighteningly cold:


    "The specific investigation tasks are in the charge of our FBI."


    The air in the conference room was quiet for a while, and finally Mrs. Heloise nodded without changing her expression:


    "OK, the investigation task can be given to you.


    I will also ask my subordinates to send you that laptop later. "


    "No need, Mrs. Heloise, just tell me where the laptop is, and I''ll get it myself."


    Hearing this, Roan, who was standing beside Augustus, said with a smile:


    "Your subordinate was accidentally injured, and was sent to the hospital for treatment by my colleagues just now."


    Mrs. Heloise: "?"


    ��


    Leaving the conference room, Augustus watched the back of the old lady slowly leaving the No. 5 investigation team, and tilted his head to look at Vernis:


    "Sir, the CIA didn''t make many things clear, and didn''t tell us, let''s move on..."


    "Don''t worry about her, I will find a way to find out about the mission."


    Hearing what Augustus said, Vernis replied coldly, and then turned her gaze to Roan:


    "The next specific investigation task will be entrusted to you, but you must be careful this time.


    If something is wrong, keep yourself safe first, and call for support immediately, you know? "


    "Okay, sir."


    Seeing Roan smiling and nodding in agreement, Verinisi nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left the No. 5 investigation team.


    She was going to talk to Mr. Clement.


    She is the team director of the FBI, and the No. 5 investigation team is also responsible for criminal cases, not for the CIA.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 117： Details of the crash and the good and bad news

    Chapter 117 Car accident details and good and bad news


    Hearing Vernis'' inquiry, Mr. Clement, who was far away in Washington, leaned back and frowned:


    "I don''t know about it, Verenes."


    "But the order of the case comes from Washington."


    In the team leader''s office, Verinisi was holding the phone with a look of disbelief:


    "And it just happened to be handed over to my investigation team No. 5."


    Clement felt a little headache. After rubbing his temples and thinking for a long time, he said in a deep voice:


    "I''ll find a way to help you get the details of the original operation later.


    At the same time, after this case is over, I will find a way to get the CIA to provide you with some compensation. "


    After all, this case was created by the CIA. With such a good opportunity, Clement himself would not let him go unless he got something from the CIA.


    "Thank you, sir."


    Hearing the answer she wanted, the corners of Verinisi''s mouth curled slightly, and after a few brief chats, she hung up the phone.


    ��


    At the same time, the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    Seeing the figure finally appear, Mona, who returned to her station, and Roan, who was about to leave, turned around and asked with a smile:


    "Mona, what did you do just now?"


    "A little personal matter."


    Mona smiled and didn''t say much, but changed the topic:


    "How far has this car accident progressed?"


    Seeing that the other party didn''t want to say more, Roan didn''t ask in detail. Hearing Mona''s question, Roan spread his hands:


    "The case is still at the first step.


    But we have some extra gains, such as knowing who killed Evander now. "


    After briefly describing the situation inside the conference room to Mona, Roan then said:


    "Mrs. Heloise will send some information to our No. 5 investigation team later, you and William will take the time to check these materials.


    Hope to find useful information, and then find the trace of that Jacquier. "


    After listening to Roan''s words, Mona nodded with a stern expression, then raised her head and asked:


    "how about you?"


    Seeing Ryder pack up his things and get up to the equipment room, Roan explained while packing up:


    "I still wonder how Jacquel made sure that Evander''s car broke down in the woods and hit a big tree.


    Before I went to the policeman��s house, I was busy arresting people, and I didn��t have time to ask about it, so I plan to go to the policeman��s house with Ryder again to see if we can find any useful clues. "


    "OK."


    Mona looked surprised, and gave Roan an OK gesture.


    Roan smiled slightly when he saw this, turned around and strode into the equipment room.


    "Mona."


    At this moment, the door of the team leader''s office opened, and August came out with a full stomach, beckoning:


    "Come to my office."


    "Okay, sir."


    Mona''s face changed slightly upon hearing this, but after taking a deep breath, she still walked quickly into the team leader''s office.


    "sit."


    In the team leader''s office, Augustus didn''t talk nonsense. After signaling Mona to sit down, he immediately asked with a serious face:


    "Mona, Roan should have told you about the content of the meeting just now, so I won''t repeat it.


    Because your father may be involved behind this case, so in the next period of time, I only have one request for you: you can''t go out to work, OK? "


    Hearing what Augustus said, Mona took a long breath, nodded and agreed immediately:


    "No problem, sir."


    "Good."


    Augus nodded in satisfaction.


    According to FBI regulations, only when the subject of the case involves relatives of the agent, the agent must take leave to avoid the case.


    For situations like this where only the background of the case involves the relatives of the agent, FBI agents generally will not take vacations, but will only work normally.


    ��


    The home of Mr. and Mrs. Chance, who reported the car accident.


    "Come in, Agent Roan."


    Seeing Roan again, the Chances were extremely excited.


    The wife hurriedly greeted Roan and Ryder to enter the room and sit down, while the husband grabbed Roan''s hand and did not let go:


    "Thank you so much, Agent Roan, thank you for saving the lives of our husband and wife, if it weren''t for you..."


    Ryder on the side was surprised when he saw this.


    Not surprised that Roan saved someone, but surprised by the attitude of the Chances and his wife.


    In the United States, it is rare for the couple to express their gratitude like this.


    "You''re welcome, Mr. Chance."


    Roan''s mouth twitched, and he pulled his hand out of Mr. Chance''s hand:


    "I''m here this time, mainly because I have some questions to ask."


    "no problem!"


    Mr. Chance nodded repeatedly, and his wife handed two cups of coffee to Roan and Ryder, and then said with a smile:


    "Is it about the car accident?"


    "Exactly."


    Roan nodded and took out a notebook:


    ��When the car accident happened last night, you called the police and said that you had been following the car.


    So you have seen the whole process of the car accident, can you describe it in detail? "


    At this time, there is no driving recorder, otherwise Roan would not have to be so troublesome.


    "Ok, no problem!"


    Hearing Roan''s question, Mr. Chance nodded and recalled:


    ��It was about ten thirty in the evening, and my wife and I were driving home from a concert.


    The car that got into the accident was driving in front of us, and the speed was not fast.


    I originally wanted to overtake, but that area is a small forest area, and there are a lot of curves. For safety reasons, I did not choose to overtake in the end.


    Just when our two cars entered the middle section of the forest area, the car in front suddenly shook for some reason, then turned sharply to the left, and slammed into the big tree on the side of the road..."


    After listening to Mr. Chance''s description, Ryder on the side took a sip of coffee silently, and then turned his gaze to Roan.


    He didn''t hear any problems.


    "OK."


    After briefly recording Mr. Chance''s words in a small notebook, Roan was silent for a moment, raised his head and asked:


    "Did you call the police as soon as the car accident happened?"


    "Exactly!"


    The Chances nodded together and explained:


    "After we saw that car had an accident, we called 911 immediately. The ambulance came very quickly, and took the person away in a short while..."


    Luo An heard the words, frowned, and continued to ask:


    "After the car accident, how many cars were parked there? Is it just the car of your husband and wife?"


    "No, there should be two or three."


    Mr. Chance frowned when he heard Roan''s words, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said:


    "At that time, there were cars passing by on that road all the time, and some cars stopped to check the situation during the period.


    After the ambulance came, our husband and wife left, and there may be more cars behind. "


    "By the way, Agent Roan, I remembered something!"


    After listening to what Mr. Chance said, Roan was just about to continue asking, when Mrs. Chance slapped her hands suddenly, looked at Roan with joy and said:


    ��A family happened to pass by, and I noticed that the kid had a handheld camera in his hand, and the family didn��t leave until the ambulance left.


    That kid''s video camera might be able to help you out if you want to see what happened that night! "


    Hearing Mrs. Chance''s words, Roan''s writing hand paused, and his eyebrows instantly raised.


    ��


    The office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    Importing the video from the hand-held camera into the computer, Mona''s ten fingers began to fly on the keyboard.


    A minute later, Mona froze, tilting her head to look at Roan, who was beside her, with a strange tone:


    "A good news and a bad news, Roan, which one do you want to hear first?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 118： Plastic cloth humanoid silkworm chrysalis

    Chapter 118 Plastic cloth humanoid silkworm chrysalis


    Hearing what Mona said, Roan''s face trembled, but he still said in a deep voice:


    "Let''s start with the bad news."


    Mona pointed to the video on the computer:


    ��The bad news is that when the car accident happened at night, the lights were very dim, and most of the video content recorded by the hand-held camera was black, and nothing could be seen clearly.��


    Ryder on the side saw that Mona''s computer screen was pitch-black, and his expression was wonderful.


    Roan didn''t look good, but he continued to ask:


    "What about the good news?"


    Mona''s fingers fluttered on the keyboard, and quickly called out the second half of the video:


    "The good news is that when the ambulance came, there were red and blue lights flashing. Only this short video shows the specific situation at the scene."


    Seeing the video content on the computer that was shaking because of the handheld camera, Ryder rolled his eyes:


    "Mona, this is not good news."


    Mona spread her hands and smiled:


    "But at least there is still a video to watch, which shows that the efforts of the two of you have not been in vain."


    "..."


    Roan didn''t say much, and silently observed the video on the computer.


    Ryder was a little speechless. Just as he was about to speak, a familiar female voice suddenly came from the gate of the No. 5 investigation team:


    "I''m back!"


    Several people turned their heads to look, and found that the person speaking was Lacey holding a big cardboard box.


    Ryder hurriedly got up and took the cardboard box from the other party, then took out a folder from it, and asked in doubt:


    "What are these things?"


    "The information given to me by the CIA."


    Lacey sat back on her desk, took a sip of coffee and waved her hands:


    "It contains Evander''s stolen laptop, and a soldier named Jacquel."


    Speaking of the laptop, Lacey looked at Roan with a smile in her eyes.


    In the hospital, after learning the details of the injury of the white man with a short hair, the old lady had a very rich expression on her face.


    Later, when I saw the old lady ordering her subordinates to hand over the computer and materials to her, she was annoyed but had to do so. Lacey, who knew the background of the case from August, had no expression on her face, but her heart Already blossoming.


    The FBI and the CIA have never dealt with each other, and many times the FBI is still in a weak position.


    After all, the FBI is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, and sometimes it is necessary to reason and speak the law.


    But the CIA is a separate department. They are unmanned, lawless, and unreasonable is their normal state.


    Lacey, who came out of the FBI''s intelligence department, knows this very well. When she worked in the past, she was often ridiculed by the CIA.


    So after learning that the white man with a short hair cut into the hospital by Roan was actually the CIA, Lacey''s eyes lit up happily, and she wished she could give Roan all the small cards in her pocket!


    ...But after Lacey thought about it, it was not good to give all the cards to Roan. After all, they were all teammates. She still had to consider Roan''s body.


    So after answering Ryder''s question, Lacey slowly approached Roan who was watching the video, and quietly slipped three cards to Roan without attracting the attention of others.


    "?"


    Seeing the card in his pocket, Roan''s face was full of black question marks.


    Tilting her head to look at Lacey, she saw that the corner of Lacey''s mouth was raised, she patted Roan''s shoulder, and said in a low voice:


    "They are all good places, but remember not to play too late, you have to go to work the next day."


    "..."


    Although he didn''t know what happened, Roan pondered for a few seconds before silently putting away the card.


    There is no other meaning, I just want to gain some knowledge while I am still young.


    Ryder on the side simply flipped through the materials in the cardboard box for a while, feeling a little headache.


    Looking up and seeing Roan and Lacey sitting together, Ryder immediately leaned over and asked with a smile:


    "How is it, have you found anything new?"


    Hearing Ryder''s words, Mona, who was also flipping through the materials, also turned around and came over.


    Lacey, who was introducing the scenery, twitched the corners of her mouth when she saw this, but Roan coughed lightly. While adjusting the video on the computer, he said with a serious expression:


    "Watch carefully"


    The three heard the words, and hurriedly turned their eyes to the computer.


    In the shaking video, the ambulance arrives, two female nurses and a driver get out of the car quickly, rescue the unconscious Evander from the car, put him on a stretcher, and finally lift the stretcher into the ambulance.


    After the video was played, Mona pondered for a few seconds, her eyes lit up, she turned around decisively and began typing on the keyboard.


    Lacey read it again carefully and suddenly realized, while Ryder scratched his head and looked at Roan with doubts on his face.


    Seeing this, Luo An switched the video to the scene of the ambulance driver getting off the car, and patiently explained:


    "Watch out for the driver of this ambulance."


    In the video, the driver of the ambulance was the first to arrive at the accident site.


    But the first thing he did was not to ask about the status of Evander who was stuck in the driver''s seat, nor to prepare to save someone, but to immediately reach out to Evander''s neck to check whether Evander was dead.


    "This is normal behavior."


    After watching the video, Ryder tilted his head in doubt.


    "No, pay attention to details."


    Roan shook his head and slowed down the video. Only then did Ryder realize that after discovering that Evander was dead, the ambulance driver nodded slightly, and his stomach gradually grew bigger.


    Obviously the ambulance driver let out a sigh of relief.


    Not only that, but the ambulance driver''s behavior of transferring Evander out of the cab was also very direct and rude, which belonged to the kind of family members who wanted to curse.


    After listening to Roan''s explanation, Ryder suddenly nodded, and Mona on the side also shouted loudly at this time:


    "Roan! I found out about this ambulance driver!"


    When Roan and Ryder heard the words, they hurriedly leaned over. Mona didn''t talk nonsense, and said directly:


    "The name of the ambulance driver was Kenoli Martin.


    After the car accident last night, he asked for leave and went home. He didn''t go to work today, and his colleagues called him but no one answered. "


    "OK."


    Hearing this, Roan did not hesitate, and immediately got up and led Ryder to the equipment room:


    "Let''s talk to this Mr. Martin now."


    ��


    A small community in Brooklyn.


    The pitch-black SUV drove fast from a distance, and stopped on the side of the street with a sudden brake.


    Roan, who was driving, and Ryder, who was sitting in the co-pilot, carefully checked the equipment on their bodies. After confirming that there was no problem, they looked at each other and grinned together. Then they opened the door and quickly walked to the community across the road.


    Martin''s house lived on the fifth floor. Roan and Ryder arrived here, standing by the door in a tactical posture with guns in both hands, one left and one right.


    After looking at each other and counting down to three two one, Roan raised his right foot and kicked the door of this room flying out with one kick.


    Boom��


    "FBI!"


    Seeing the door flying into the room and knocking down on the living room sofa, Ryder''s face was full of shock.


    But now is not the time to ask questions, Ryder swallowed, and hurriedly followed Roan to check every room in the house.


    "Safety!"


    "Safety!"


    After confirming that there was no one in the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, Roan and Led Qiqi reported.


    Put away the gun and return to the living room, Roan began to carefully inspect the house.


    Ryder grabbed the door on the sofa, shook it vigorously, and looked at Roan in disbelief:


    "Roan, how did you do it?"


    "Forget about that, come here quickly!"


    Did not answer Ryder''s question, Roan beckoned him to come to the second bedroom quickly.


    After throwing down the door and entering the room, Ryder saw a humanoid silkworm chrysalis wrapped in plastic in the closet of the second bedroom.


    Not only that, Roan also found a lot of wires, ball bearings, nails and other items under the bed in the second bedroom.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 119： time bomb

    Chapter 119 Timer Bomb


    More than forty minutes later, Agent Nair from the Trace Inspection Section came out of the second bedroom.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Roan, who was rummaging for things in the kitchen, saw this, hurried forward and reached out to shake Agent Nell''s chubby hand, then asked with a serious expression:


    "What is the identity of this corpse?"


    A smile appeared on Agent Nell''s round face:


    "According to the body is well preserved, judging from the face alone, it should be the Kenoli Martin you mentioned."


    Hearing this, Roan nodded solemnly, and then continued to ask:


    "What about the specific death time of the corpse?"


    "The exact time of death will not be known until the autopsy is completed."


    Agent Neil heard the words, hehe laughed, and then said:


    "But according to my colleague''s experience, the death time of this corpse should be about three days.


    As for the cause of death, there are strangle marks on the neck of the corpse, which can be roughly judged as mechanical asphyxiation. "


    Speaking of which, Agent Neil took out a transparent evidence bag from behind his butt, which contained a ball bearing that Roan had found in the bedroom before.


    Seeing the roller bearing, Roan frowned:


    "If my judgment is not wrong, these things should be used to make bombs."


    "Exactly."


    Agent Neil nodded, then said with a serious face:


    "My colleague detected traces of some special oily substances in the second bedroom just now.


    With these wires, ball bearings and nails, my colleague judged that the other party should want to make a time bomb. "


    Hearing the name of the time bomb, Roan frowned.


    That was one of the improvised explosive devices made by the people who opened the shell in the previous life to resist the United States.


    "Okay, thank you."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Detective Nell waved his hands with a smile, agreeing to have a chance to go out for a drink together in the future, and left the house with his colleagues and the corpse.


    Jingle Bell-


    Just then, Roan''s cell phone rang.


    "Hello?"


    "It''s me, Lacey."


    The voice on the other end of the phone was a little noisy. After a while of closing the door, the noisy voice became much quieter, and Lacey''s voice came over:


    "Half an hour ago, you asked me to come to the hospital where Martin works to investigate Martin''s specific situation. I have almost done the investigation."


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Roan nodded, sat down on the sofa in this room, and asked in a deep voice:


    "What is the specific situation?"


    "According to several nurses who often go out with Martin to pull people, Martin hasn''t come to work these days."


    Lacey on the other end of the phone spoke in a very unhappy tone:


    "The one who actually drives the ambulance is Martin''s distant cousin, a middle-aged white male named Thomas."


    When Roan heard this, his eyebrows frowned:


    "What''s the situation with this Thomas?"


    "The nurses said that this kind of thing is very common. If someone has something to do at home, they just find a relative to do the shift for a few days. The hospital doesn''t care."


    Lacey said with an ugly face:


    "I looked at the surveillance video in the hospital in the past few days, and Thomas never took off his mask during the surveillance.


    Later, I asked the nurses again. They hadn''t seen Thomas take off his mask in the past few days, so they didn''t know what Thomas looked like.


    The only thing that is certain is that this Thomas is not young, his voice is a little shrill, his hair is a little long and has a lot of gray hair. "


    "OK."


    Written Lacey''s description on a piece of white paper, the two sides chatted briefly, then hung up the phone.


    Seeing this, Ryder, who had been waiting for a long time, pushed the door on the sofa to the side, and asked with a stern expression:


    "Roan, do you think this Thomas and Jacquel are the same person?"


    "No, they are definitely not alone, this Thomas should be the helper Jacquier found.


    Moreover, this Thomas is most likely the one who tampered with Evander''s car and eventually caused the car accident. "


    Hearing Ryder''s question, Roan shook his head and explained:


    "Jacquier''s information obtained by the CIA shows that Jacquier is 36 years old this year, with a strong figure, and a cropped head, and no gray hair."


    Speaking of this, Roan led Ryder into the kitchen, opened the door of the cabinet where the tableware was placed, and explained:


    "I checked carefully just now, and there are two sets of tableware that have been used recently.


    Martin died three days ago. He couldn''t have used it. The only people who used two sets of cutlery were Jacquel and Thomas. "


    "OK."


    Ryder also saw the scene where Roan checked the tableware and then handed it over to the trace inspection department to let them try to find fingerprints, so he continued to ask:


    "What do we do next?"


    "I have asked William and the others to check the surveillance cameras near this building. It is estimated that the investigation will be completed in 30 minutes, and Thomas and Jacquel may be there by then."


    Roan handed the paper in his hand to Ryder, then leaned on his chin and pondered for a while, suddenly remembered something, tilted his head to look at Ryder and asked:


    "By the way, did you find any credit cards in this room just now?"


    "NO."


    Ryder shook his head.


    "The trace inspection department and I didn''t find it either."


    Seeing Ryder shaking his head, Roan''s eyes lit up, and he took out his cell phone to call Mona.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Hearing Mona''s question, Roan didn''t talk nonsense, and said directly:


    "Mona, check Martin''s credit card records to see if he has made any recent purchases?


    I suspect it''s still in the hands of Jacquel and Thomas. "


    If Jacquier really used Martin''s credit card today and yesterday, then Roan and the others can find each other as quickly as possible.


    "OK."


    Mona didn''t hesitate, and immediately started typing on the keyboard.


    A few minutes later, Mona spread her hands and said to the phone:


    "I''m sorry, Roan, Martin''s credit card has no consumption records at all in the past two days."


    On the other end of the phone, Ryder frowned when he heard Mona''s words. Roan held his forehead and thought for a moment before continuing to ask:


    "And before this? Did Martin buy anything that wasn''t right?"


    "What kind of error are you talking about?"


    Mona looked at the consumption records in the computer, and said with some doubts:


    "This week''s spending records show that Martin used his credit card to buy clothes, pants, meals...etc!"


    Mona was talking, suddenly stunned, and then shouted:


    "Roan, Martin''s credit card spending records show that he bought an expensive schoolbag three days ago!"


    "But we didn''t find the bag here!


    And Martin is alone, without a girlfriend or relatives, so what is the use of buying a schoolbag? "


    Hearing what Mona said, Ryder''s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Roan:


    "Just now, Detective Neil from the Trace Inspection Section said that the roller bearings in the second bedroom can be used to make time bombs!


    Then this schoolbag must have been bought by Jacquel and the others, with the purpose of making a schoolbag bomb! "


    Roan touched his chin and nodded slowly:


    "There is a high probability that this is the case!"


    Hearing Roan''s affirmation, Ryder grinned wide, with his hands on his hips, showing a smug smile.


    "but."


    Before Ryder was too proud, Roan raised his head in doubt and asked a question:


    "The actions of Jacquel and Thomas are obviously for revenge.


    Then they must have a target they want to kill when making bombs. Who will this target be? "


    Ryder: "��"

 Chapter 120： What is the CIA hiding?

    Chapter 120 What exactly is the CIA hiding?


    Hearing Roan''s question, the smug smile on Ryder''s face instantly froze:


    "this��"


    Roan laughed when he saw this.


    This question is a bit difficult for Ryder, and Roan didn''t expect Ryder to provide him with an answer.


    "Mona."


    Picking up the phone that hadn''t been hung up, Roan said directly to Mona on the other end of the phone:


    "Now immediately check the schoolbag purchased by the Martin credit card and see who has bought the same style of schoolbag.


    I suspect that among the people who bought this style of schoolbag, there is one person who is Jacquier''s next target. "


    If you want to make a school bag bomb, there are cheap school bags in various stores in New York.


    The reason why they bought such an expensive schoolbag is most likely because Jacquier and the others wanted to blow up the target person, and there were children at home.


    And Jacquier and the others plan to use their bomb schoolbags to replace the children''s ordinary schoolbags.


    "OK."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona nodded and agreed without hesitation, but then she said with some entanglement:


    "Roan, I..."


    "Huh? What''s wrong?"


    Roan narrowed his eyes: "Are you feeling unwell today?"


    "No, I''m fine."


    Opened her mouth, Mona hesitated for a few seconds and still didn''t say anything, and finally said:


    "Give me ten minutes, there are many people buying this style of schoolbag, I will call you after I check it out."


    After speaking, before Roan could reply, Mona pressed the button to hang up.


    Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Roan licked his lips and whispered to himself:


    "Mona is having a bad day."


    Considering that the case had something to do with Mona''s father, Roan immediately judged that Mona had concealed something from himself and the rest of the No. 5 investigation team.


    However, after getting along for so many days, Roan, who already knew Mona''s personality and past experience, guessed that what she was hiding was probably just some information related to her father.


    Anyway, it will not be the kind of situational information that threatens the lives of the agents of the No. 5 investigation team.


    Mona has always been able to distinguish between serious and serious.


    Thinking of this, Roan chose to put this matter aside temporarily.


    Mona doesn''t want to say it now, he won''t press the other party.


    Hanging up the phone, Roan looked at Ryder sitting beside him, and said in a deep voice:


    "Our next goal is to quickly find and capture Jacquel and Thomas, and at the same time find the schoolbag bomb."


    "Yeah."


    Ryder nodded: "William and the others are checking the surveillance video near this building and the information sent by the CIA, and Mona is going to check the clues of the schoolbag.


    The body found here has also been handed over to the trace inspection department. What should we do next? Are you going back to the headquarters? "


    "No, I have to make a phone call."


    Luo An was silent for a moment, picked up the phone again, and said while looking for the number:


    "I suddenly remembered something."


    ��


    Investigation Team No. 5.


    In the office area, Augustus is leading several technicians, looking through the materials sent by the CIA with a serious expression.


    In the meeting room, Vernis and Mrs. Heloise sat on chairs, watching the busy crowd outside, without saying a word.


    The air in the room is very oppressive.


    After a long time, Mrs. Heloise picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip:


    "Group leader, didn''t you tell me before that you are in charge of this case?


    What you mean by conducting is sitting in the conference room with me, drinking coffee? "


    Mrs. Heloise dislikes Verenes very much.


    There are many reasons, such as the subordinate lying in the hospital, the leadership of the investigation task is not in his hands, Vernis''s attitude towards her is average, and so on.


    Verinis also hated the old lady beside her.


    Because Mrs. Heloise, as the head of the CIA, is habitually full of lies, and nine and a half out of ten sentences are false.


    Besides, she is arrogant, has no cooperative attitude, and always wants the No. 5 investigation team to follow her orders to handle the case.


    So hearing Mrs. Heloise''s words, Vernis didn''t bother to look at her, and said in a cold voice:


    "Mrs. Heloise, I am in charge of this case. I have the final say on how to investigate. Your duty is only to observe and make suggestions."


    Ms. Heloise''s face darkened suddenly. Just as she was about to speak, Vernice''s cell phone rang suddenly.


    It was Roan who called Vernis.


    "Good afternoon, sir."


    Briefly described what happened after he left the No. 5 investigation team, as well as the current investigation situation, and finally Luo An asked in a deep voice:


    "Sir, I remember that Mrs. Heloise from the CIA said that the information in her hand shows that Jacquel Jon will not leave New York in a short time.


    I wonder why she came to this conclusion?


    Or, does the CIA know where Jacquel Jon will go next? "


    After hearing Ryder''s words just now, Roan suddenly remembered what Mrs. Heloise said at the meeting:


    Their CIA guarantees that Jacquel Jon will not leave New York in a short time.


    If this information is true, there is only one possibility:


    The CIA group has always known Jacquel Jon''s goals and movements.


    But they never told the five investigation team, but just let them investigate a little bit.


    Hearing Roan''s words, Vernis frowned, and quickly reacted.


    Even she thought deeper than Roan:


    Before Evander''s car accident happened, did the group of CIA already know that Jacquel and the others were planning this matter?


    Thinking of this, Vernis immediately turned her head to look at Mrs. Heloise, and instead of describing what Roan said to her just now, she asked directly:


    "Who is Jacquel Jon''s next target? Where is he now?"


    Madam Heloise sipped her coffee expressionlessly, and said in a low voice:


    "Sorry, no comment."


    Hearing this, Vernis'' face darkened instantly.


    This sentence shows that the CIA is indeed aware of Jacquel''s movements.


    After taking a deep breath, Verinisi suppressed the anger in her heart and said in a cold voice:


    "Ms. Heloise, our two goals are the same, that is to catch Jacquel Jon, so you..."


    Before Verenes finished speaking, Mrs. Heloise got up and left her seat, and said with a blank expression:


    "Excuse me, Ms. Team Leader, I have said so and have no comment."


    Seeing the back of Mrs. Heloise pushing open the door and leaving the meeting room, Vernis''s face was as ugly as it could be.


    Roan on the other end of the phone also heard the conversation between the two just now, and his expression was also very ugly:


    "Sir..."


    "You go back to the headquarters first, Roan."


    Verinis took a big sip of the coffee on the table, and then her voice was as cold as ice:


    "I''ll figure this out."


    "��Okay, sir."


    Hearing the busy tone after the phone was hung up, Luo An suddenly grinned.


    Verinis doesn''t have a big heart, and the CIA group didn''t act perfunctorily for her this time...


    "Let''s go, Ryder, back to headquarters."


    Putting the phone away, Roan stood up and stretched:


    "I have a hunch that this case will be resolved today."


    Ryder tilted his head in confusion. Roan was about to give him a brief explanation when the phone in his pocket rang again.


    "... In this short period of time, there have been several phone calls."


    Luo An took out his phone speechlessly, pressed the answer button, and Mona''s familiar voice came from the other end of the phone:


    "Roan, I should know where Jacquel Jon and Thomas are now."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 121： The truth of the original mission and the federal prosecutors office exploded.

    Chapter 121 The Truth of the Original Mission and the Explosion of the Federal Prosecutor''s Office


    In Mona��s description, there is a federal prosecutor named John King who bought a schoolbag of the same style for his son in elementary school a month ago.


    Hearing what Mona said, Roan went downstairs with Ryder, and asked calmly:


    "Mona, why do you judge that Jacquier''s target is this John King?"


    "..."


    The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this, and nodded to signal Ryder to get in the car first. After waiting, he walked to a corner where no one was around, and asked in a low voice:


    "Mona, can''t you tell me?"


    After a long silence, Mona on the other end of the phone got up and left her station, and walked to the corner of the No. 5 investigation team with her mobile phone.


    After taking a deep breath, Mona whispered:


    "Roan, not long ago, I hacked into my father''s computer."


    Hearing this, Luo An''s face twitched suddenly.


    In Mona��s description, she saw photos of Mrs. Heloise when she was young in her father��s study when she was a child.


    When Roan entered the conference room for a meeting, Mona was not at her desk.


    Actually, Mona went to the bathroom with her laptop to check if she had remembered correctly.


    Later, after learning from Luo An that this case had something to do with her father, Mona hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to hack into her father''s computer to see what was going on with that mission.


    To Mona''s disappointment, her father''s computer did not contain any relevant information about the original mission.


    But Mona found a photo in the computer, not only his father, but also Jacquel Jon in the photo.


    "In that photo, there was John King I was talking about, but he was called Owen Avery back then.


    Judging by the clothes and positions in the photo, John King, aka Owen Avery, he and my father belonged to the officer, and Jacquel and others belonged to the soldier. "


    Mona continued:


    "When I was looking for someone who bought this schoolbag just now, I accidentally found this John King''s photo, so I checked the identity of this John King."


    Hearing this, Roan leaned on his chin and nodded:


    "So, this John King is actually a CIA."


    "It''s a recently retired CIA. He''s older and his rank should be higher than my father''s."


    Mona on the other end of the phone looked very serious, and her voice was very dignified:


    "Later, I carefully investigated John King''s financial situation, and found that at a certain time a year ago, there was a sudden addition of a large amount of money that had been taxed but of unknown origin in the bank account."


    At that time a year ago, it was the mission that Mona''s father had formulated failed, and the mission that Jacquel and other soldiers were judged to be dead happened.


    Obviously, John King got a lot of money through that mission.


    The price is the lives of soldiers like Jacquel Jon.


    "Thank you, Mona."


    After listening to Mona''s narration, Roan was silent for a while, and whispered:


    "It was a hard work for you to find John King among so many people who bought that schoolbag."


    "..."


    Mona was taken aback for a moment, then understood the subtext in Roan''s mouth, and the corners of her mouth immediately raised:


    "You''re welcome, it''s all I should do."


    Immediately afterwards, Mona told Roan all the specific information such as John King''s home address and work location, and after a brief chat, she hung up the phone.


    Sitting in the driver''s seat of the SUV, Roan signaled Ryder to check the equipment carefully, and then stepped on the accelerator to let the SUV rush onto the road.


    Call Lacey and ask her to go to John King''s house immediately, while Roan and Ryder go to the Federal Prosecutor''s Office in Manhattan, New York.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan called Vernis again.


    ��


    Investigation Team No. 5, in the team leader''s office, Vernis narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the information report she had just received.


    The report was sent to her by Secretary Clement, and the content was the general situation of the original mission.


    Although it is only a general situation without too many details, Vernis can still see the tricks in the mission:


    Javari-Evans once said that the intelligence was not complete and the operation could not be carried out so quickly, but the suggestion was directly rejected by his superior Owen Avery, and the operation was carried out directly at ten o''clock that night.


    Then the operation failed completely, and all the soldiers who performed the mission died without exception.


    But actually Jacquel Jon survived.


    "Owen Avery."


    Looking at the name in the document, Verinisi pondered for a few seconds, put the document away, and then walked into the meeting room alone, without nonsense, directly asked in a cold voice:


    "Mrs. Heloise, what exactly is the CIA going to do?


    Also, where the **** is that Irving Avery now? "


    Hearing what Verenes said, Mrs. Heloise frowned.


    She didn''t expect Verenice to be able to find Owen Avery''s name.


    But knowing it is useless.


    The corners of Mrs. Heloise''s mouth curled up slightly, and she glanced at the busy detectives in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, and smiled disdainfully:


    "Sorry, Ms. Team Leader, I..."


    Jingle Bell-


    Ms. Heloise''s expression froze because Vernice''s cell phone rang again.


    Glancing at the old lady sitting on the chair, Vernis pressed the answer button after seeing the identity of the caller:


    "I''m Vernis."


    "Hello, sir."


    Turn the steering wheel to make the dark SUV turn to another road. Roan stepped on the accelerator and said:


    "We have roughly guessed where Jacquel Jon and Thomas will go next."


    Concealing the fact that Mona hacked into his father''s computer, Roan said that Mona found a person named John King by investigating the people who bought the same schoolbag.


    "John King?"


    After hearing this, Verinisi tilted her head in doubt: "Who is this?"


    Ms. Heloise''s expression changed suddenly when she heard this name.


    Verinis eyes lit up when she saw this, she pondered for a moment and pressed the speaker button, and Roan''s explanation came from the phone immediately:


    "Sir, this John King used to be called Owen Avery, a former CIA..."


    Hearing the voice from the mobile phone, Verinisi''s eyes became brighter and brighter. She didn''t expect Roan and the others to investigate so quickly!


    She originally planned to wait a while and hand over the information she just obtained to the No. 5 investigation team to help them improve the investigation speed and direction!


    Ms. Heloise''s expression became increasingly ugly when she heard the voice from the phone.


    When Roan said that he and Ryder were about to arrive at the Manhattan Federal Prosecutor''s Office, Mrs. Heloise finally couldn''t hold back anymore, her face was full of anger, her eyes were full of anger, and she shouted in a very sharp voice:


    "Damn it! Agent Roan Greenwood! I order you to stop the investigation immediately! Immediately! Stop! Now!"


    Hearing Mrs. Heloise''s shout, Vernis was taken aback for a moment, then became angry and slapped the table heavily.


    boom!


    Verinis was just about to speak, when there was a deafening explosion on the other end of the phone!


    Boom��


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 122： john king death

    Chapter 122 The Death of John King


    The sudden explosion startled Vernis and Mrs. Heloise.


    The next second, Vernis, with a tense face, hurriedly asked loudly on the phone:


    "Roan! What''s going on with you!"


    No one answered on the other end of the phone. Vernis looked down carefully, and the phone showed that the other party had hung up the call.


    Called again, but no one answered. Verinisi turned her head with an extremely ugly face, and looked at the old lady beside her:


    "Mrs. Heloise, shouldn''t you give me an explanation?"


    At this time, Mrs. Heloise also had a very ugly expression. The situation in front of her seemed to be beyond their original plan.


    Hearing what Verinis said, Mrs. Heloise pondered for a few seconds. Just as she was about to say something, Vernis put away her mobile phone and turned to walk towards the door of the meeting room.


    Verinis is in a hurry to pass this news to the No. 5 investigation team, and at the same time ask the No. 5 investigation team to send people to the scene to check the situation as soon as possible.


    When she walked to the door of the conference room, Vernis turned her back to Mrs. Heloise and said in a cold voice:


    "Mrs. Heloise, I''m too lazy to listen to your perfunctory words, I will report this matter later.


    And yet, it''s best to think carefully about how to deal with those people in the Federal Prosecutor''s Office. "


    After finishing speaking, Vernis directly opened the door of the conference room and strode out.


    Hearing what Verenes said, and seeing the back of her arranging tasks for Augustus in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Mrs. Heloise raised her eyebrows angrily, her face turning red and then pale.


    "damn it!"


    After yelling and cursing in a low voice, Mrs. Heloise immediately took out her mobile phone to find a number and dialed it.


    In this situation, it is more important to first ask about the specific situation on the other side of the explosion.


    Not only that, Mrs. Heloise has other ideas.


    For example, let the CIA agents who were hidden nearby catch the criminal who caused the explosion before the FBI.


    As long as people are in their hands, the rest will be easy.


    ��


    Rewind time to before the explosion.


    Ms. Heloise''s sharp voice suddenly rang on the phone. Roan didn''t react, and his face was calm. Ryder, who was sitting in the co-pilot checking the pistol, shook his hands in fright.


    But upon hearing Mrs. Heloise''s order, Roan and Ryder looked at each other, and Qiqi grinned disdainfully.


    The two of them don''t care about the orders of the old CIA lady.


    At this time, the car had arrived on the road diagonally opposite the Federal Prosecutor''s Office.


    While preparing to stop the car, Roan coughed lightly with a smile on his face, and was just about to say a few words in reply to Mrs. Heloise, when there was a deafening explosion suddenly from the gate of the Federal Procuratorate diagonally opposite.


    Boom��


    "Shit!"


    The sudden explosion startled Roan, and Ryder, who was also startled, cursed, opened the door and jumped out of the car.


    At this time, the small square outside the gate of the Federal Prosecutor''s Office was in chaos. Passers-by were running in all directions. The screams of being scared by the bomb and the wailing of the injured and collapsed on the ground resounded endlessly.


    When Ryder ran out of the SUV, Roan immediately hung up the phone and ran out of the car.


    Seeing that Ryder was about to run towards the gate of the Federal Prosecutor''s Office, Roan hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, and at the same time shouted loudly:


    "Ryder! Wait a minute!"


    Ryder, who was in a running posture, was pulled hard by Roan, and almost staggered forward and fell to the ground.


    Hastily adjusted his body posture and stood up, Ryder was full of surprise, and was even more shocked by Roan''s strength.


    "What''s wrong? Roan!"


    But the current situation is urgent and it is not a time to struggle with strength. Ryder thought that Roan was worried that there were bombs nearby, so he immediately said:


    "Don''t worry, Roan, judging from my previous experience in swat, there is a high probability that there will be no second bomb here!"


    Roan quickly checked his equipment and confirmed that the plate vest + shock bombs + smoke bombs + Glock 18 + extended magazines are all right, while carefully looking at the crowd running around, he explained to Ryder:


    "The murderers who caused the explosion are most likely Jacquel and Thomas!


    There is a high probability that they are still on the scene now! We''re going to hurry up and find and catch them! "


    The reason why it is judged that Jacquel and Thomas are likely to be at the scene now is mainly because of the previous car accident.


    After the car accident, Thomas went to the scene as an ambulance driver to check whether Evander was dead.


    The target of the bomb this time is John King. Judging from the revenge determination of Jacquel and Thomas, after the explosion, they will definitely check to see if John King is dead.


    "What?...OK!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Ryder paused, then nodded decisively and agreed.


    Then he looked around carefully and asked:


    "How to do it?"


    "Left to right! Search carefully!"


    Roan didn''t talk nonsense, took out the Glock 18, held it in his hand, and said quickly:


    ��Jacquier is 36 years old, athletic, with a cropped cut.


    Thomas is not young, with a high-pitched voice, long and white hair! "


    "OK!"


    Finding the target person among the many passers-by is the basic skill of the swat action team members.


    Hearing the specific action plan, Ryder immediately took out the Glock 18 like Roan, and quickly rushed into the flow of people on the left side of the Federal Prosecutor''s Office.


    Roan, who was fully armed, rushed into the flow of people on the right side of the Federal Procuratorate, while scanning the faces of every passerby who was running, he also quickly ran to the high platform on the right side of the Procuratorate.


    There is a small square directly in front of the Federal Procuratorate. Enter the square and climb a high step to enter the gate of the Federal Procuratorate.


    The location of the explosion was right at the gate of the procuratorate.


    If the other party wants to check whether John King is dead, they must come to this high platform.


    At the same time, standing on the high platform, Roan can scan everyone on the scene more clearly.


    Under the shocked eyes of passers-by, Roan, who was fully armed, seemed not tired at all, and ran to the top of the stairs with strides in a few seconds.


    "FBI!"


    Take out the golden badge in his pocket and show it to the bald security guard of the procuratorate who collapsed on the ground. While carefully observing the surroundings, Roan tore off the security guard''s clothes to help him stop the bleeding, and asked at the same time:


    "Did you see exactly what happened when the explosion happened?"


    The bald security guard nodded, indicating that he saw the explosion coming from a young boy''s schoolbag.


    At that time, the little boy handed the schoolbag to his father, and the father asked the little boy what was in the schoolbag and why it was so heavy.


    The next second, an explosion occurred, the father died on the spot, and the life and death of the little boy were unknown.


    The little boy''s father, John King, was a federal prosecutor.


    After listening to the bald security guard''s narration, Roan licked his lips and didn''t speak.


    While carefully observing the crowd, Luo An was just about to continue asking questions when there was a sudden burst of intense firefighting on the left side of the procuratorate.


    boom! boom! boom! boom��


    "Fu-k!"


    Hearing the gunshots, Roan immediately stuffed the cloth strips to the security guards and rushed towards the left side of the procuratorate.


    On the left side of the procuratorate, the heavily armed Ryder was squatting on the side of a car, avoiding the enemy behind the off-road vehicle on the opposite side, and the rain of bullets hitting here.


    The enemy is holding a rifle and has long, white hair.


    Just now Ryder just asked the other party to stop, and the other party shot him decisively. From this, Ryder was sure that the guy on the opposite side was definitely the guy named Thomas.


    The other party has a rifle in his hand, only a Glock 18 Ryder dare not confront him head-on.


    But thinking of the past combat experience with Roan, Ryder smiled slightly, and took out a shock bomb from behind his buttocks.


    But just when Ryder got into position and was about to throw the shock bomb at the opposite side, Ryder suddenly saw four shock bombs flying towards the off-road vehicle on the opposite side appeared above his head.


    Ryder: "��"


    Thomas: "???"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 123： CIA failed to **** people

    Chapter 123 CIA robbing people failed


    Seeing the four shock bombs in the sky, the corner of Ryder''s mouth twitched, and he instantly understood who it was.


    "sonof than eat!"


    Thomas, who was behind the off-road vehicle, cursed loudly, his voice was sharp, and he hurriedly bent down to avoid it.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Four shock bombs exploded one after another, and the glass of several nearby cars shattered instantly.


    After throwing the shock bomb, Roan, who was fully armed, slid past the front of a car and quickly arrived at Ryder, bending over and asking in a calm voice:


    "Ryder, are you okay?"


    "fine."


    Ryder patted his chest, indicating that he was not injured.


    Roan nodded upon seeing this, slowly got up with the Glock 18, and walked to the back of the off-road vehicle in a tactical posture with Ryder one on the left and one on the right.


    As expected by the two, Thomas, who was baptized by four shock bombs, was completely unconscious and collapsed on the ground.


    Roan carefully took the rifle away from Thomas'' side, and Ryder took out the handcuffs and handcuffed Thomas''s hands behind his back.


    After carefully searching Thomas''s pocket and the off-road vehicle next to him, Roan managed to find a driver''s license.


    "Demonte Adams."


    Looking at the photo on the driver''s license, Roan smacked his lips, and Ryder beside him blinked:


    "It seems that this is Thomas'' real name."


    "Maybe."


    Roan shrugged, took out his cell phone, and called Mona, asking her to check this guy.


    Just after hanging up the phone, a middle-aged Caucasian man wearing an FBI gray-blue jacket and a Glock pistol on his waist walked over from a distance with a Caucasian youth in the same dress but younger.


    "Hello, my name is Terry, and I am from the Anti-Improvised Explosive Device Department (a department of the FBI, see the preface for details)."


    The middle-aged white man headed by stretched out his hand and shook Roan Ryder, and asked with a smile:


    "Excuse me, is this guy you arrested the murderer who caused the explosion just now?"


    Ryder raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when he heard the words, Roan immediately patted his arm, then tilted his head and smiled and replied:


    "no."


    "..."


    Terry and his teammates froze when they heard this.


    "Anything else?"


    The smile on Roan��s face is very sunny:


    "If not, we will leave first."


    After finishing speaking, Roan patted Ryder''s arm before the two of them could answer, signaling him to take Thomas away from here and walk to the SUV not far away.


    "Wait a minute, guys."


    Roan and Ryder didn''t take a few steps, Terry caught up with them, and at the same time stretched out his hand to stop Roan and Ryder, laughing:


    "you��"


    Terry stopped talking halfway through, because Roan pulled out his Glock 18.


    Seeing this, the teammates beside Terry subconsciously reached for the pistol at his waist.


    "Mr. Terry,"


    Seeing this, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand to signal Ryder to take Thomas back to the SUV first, then smiled and said to Terry:


    "I know what your mission is, and you also know what our mission is.


    But we caught people, and we will only bring them back, OK? "


    From the first moment he saw this Terry, Roan felt uncomfortable.


    In addition, just now Terry only introduced his identity and name, but did not ask Roan and Ryder''s identities, Roan immediately judged that the other party knew him.


    Immediately afterwards, when he heard that the target in Terry''s words was Thomas, Roan guessed the real identity of the other party after a brief thought:


    The CIA under Madam Heloise.


    As for why the CIA has FBI clothes and equipment...


    Again, the United States has its own national conditions.


    On the surface, federal law stipulates that the CIA is not allowed to operate in the country, but in fact, the CIA has never been less active in the federal territory.


    It��s just that most of these CIAs put on a layer of skin and claim to be from the FBI, DEA, NSA and other departments.


    Seeing that his identity was discovered by Roan, Terry stopped pretending, and his face immediately became serious:


    "Agent Roan, we have to take this guy away."


    "impossible."


    Roan licked his lips, the smile on his face was more sunny and harmonious, but his right hand was slowly placed on the safe position of Glog 18:


    "It''s still the same sentence, this person was caught by us."


    Hearing Roan''s words, the young teammate beside Terry raised his eyebrows slowly, and made a gesture to pull out the pistol at his waist.


    "No."


    Seeing this, Terry stretched out his hand to suppress the movement of his teammates, then fixed his eyes on Roan, and said in a low voice:


    "Are you sure you don''t want to hand in someone?"


    Roan didn''t answer, just chuckled, and slowly opened the safety of the Glock 18 with his right hand.


    The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally Terry nodded sullenly:


    "Good, people are yours."


    After speaking, Terry did not hesitate, and immediately pulled the white youth beside him and turned around and left.


    Looking at the backs of the two, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly put away the Glock 18. After a moment of contemplation, he chuckled:


    "It seems that the CIA is much more chaotic than the FBI."


    Turning around and returning to the SUV, after learning that Ryder had contacted the ambulance, Roan first took out his mobile phone and called Mona.


    After Mona''s investigation, this Demonte Adams had also served in some foreign regions before.


    And several locations where De Monti served overlapped with John King.


    Roan nodded, that''s right, there is a high probability that he is another ordinary soldier who was beaten by John Jin.


    After hanging up Mona''s phone, Roan called Vernis again.


    The call was quickly connected.


    "Good afternoon, sir."


    Hearing Roan''s familiar voice, Vernis, who was in the meeting room of the investigation team No. 5, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.


    Casting a glance at Mrs. Heloise, who was standing in the corner of the conference room, with a gloomy face on the phone, Vernis asked coldly:


    "What''s the situation at the scene?"


    "The carrier of the explosion is the schoolbag bomb."


    Roan briefly described the words of the bald security guard, saying that John King was killed on the spot, and the child''s life or death is unknown. He has now been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.


    Hearing the news that John King was killed on the spot, Vernis frowned, and then asked:


    "Have you caught the murderer?"


    "not yet."


    Roan said that Jacquele has never shown up, and they still don''t know where the other party is hiding.


    "But we caught Thomas, and his real name is Demonty Adams."


    After briefing Vernis on the information Mona investigated, Roan finally concluded:


    "Through Demonti, we should be able to figure out where Jacquele is hiding."


    "very good."


    Verinis nodded in satisfaction, and later heard that Mrs. Heloise had sent someone to try to rob her. Vernis immediately showed a touch of disdain, saying that she would deal with this matter later, and hung up the phone.


    On the other side, in the corner of the conference room, after learning that Terry failed to **** Thomas from Roan, Mrs. Heloise''s eyes were full of anger, and her face was as ugly as it could be.


    Before Mrs. Heloise could reprimand, Vernis'' cold words came from behind her:


    "Mrs. Heloise, now we can talk."


    Looking down at the information in her hand and the case-solving process described by Roan, Vernis licked the corner of her mouth.


    She has now roughly sorted out the background and the whole process of this case, as well as the role played by Mrs. Heloise in it.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 124： The truth of the case and Roans promotion

    Chapter 124 The truth of the case and Roan''s promotion


    The circumstances behind this case are not complicated.


    In the operation a year ago, John King sent the soldiers who carried out the operation to **** for money, but Jacquel survived by chance.


    After the investigation after the event, the top CIA knew that John King''s corruption led to the failure of the mission.


    While thinking about how to deal with John King, the CIA accidentally learned from the NSA that Jacquele was still alive.


    So within the CIA, Mrs. Heloise''s forces planned to take advantage of the situation and let Jacquier take revenge and kill John King, and then they would get rid of Jacquier.


    This can not only erase the scandal that CIA officials used the lives of grassroots soldiers to make money for themselves, but also attack the internal forces of the CIA that support John King and gain benefits and chips.


    The CIA has no one under its jurisdiction, it is an independent department, and it mainly operates outside the Federation, so the various forces within them are more complicated, and the situation of hills has never stopped since the establishment of the CIA.


    The plan of Mrs. Heloise''s faction is very good, but the reality will not move forward steadily according to their ideas.


    Because Jacquel''s role in the army was a sniper, Mrs. Heloise and the others took it for granted that Jacquier''s means of revenge against John King was long-distance sniping.


    But what they didn''t expect was that after returning to the federal territory, Jacquel didn''t take revenge immediately. Instead, he found a helper for himself and bought materials to make a bomb.


    Mrs. Heloise and the others knew that Jacquele was preparing a bomb, but they didn''t know what the carrier outside the bomb would be, so they immediately investigated the identity of "Thomas".


    But before their investigation was clear, the car accident happened, and it also attracted the attention of the New York FBI Criminal Investigation Department.


    There is a chain of contempt among various departments in the United States, and the CIA has always looked down on the FBI.


    So regarding the FBI''s involvement in the investigation, Mrs. Heloise just smiled dismissively and didn''t take it to heart at all.


    She doesn''t think this so-called No. 5 investigation team will have any impact on their plans.


    In her opinion, after the plan is completely over, the No. 5 investigation team is still studying the relationship between Evander, the deceased in the car accident.


    Then the detective named Roann Greenwood brought his teammates to teach Mrs. Heloise a good lesson.


    Catch the white man with a short cut and send him to the hospital. Then, according to the video, he found that the ambulance driver was wrong, so he found the stronghold where Thomas and Jacquil stayed, and later even found the identity of John King...


    Roan''s series of actions frantically slapped Mrs. Heloise''s wrinkled old face.


    Especially after learning that Roan and his teammates had already driven to John King''s work place, Mrs. Heloise couldn''t hold back anymore, so she screamed into the phone furiously.


    However, Mrs. Heloise still underestimated Roan, because Roan not only caught "Thomas" before her subordinates acted, but also saw through the identity of her subordinates, and firmly grasped "Thomas" in the hands of the FBI...


    The following are the thoughts in Verenice''s mind. She didn''t tell Mrs. Heloise, but swallowed silently, planning to give Roan more rewards later.


    "Lady Heloise,"


    Briefly narrated the CIA��s original plan to do whatever they can. After the incident, Vernis leaned back, crossed her legs, and asked in a cold voice:


    "Is there something wrong with what I just said?"


    Mrs. Heloise, who was standing in the corner of the conference room with her mobile phone, heard Vernis say the same sentence as they had planned, and then saw the disdainful look in the other party''s eyes, and immediately frowned. He also cursed from the bottom of his heart.


    But after all, Mrs. Heloise is so old, she has rich experience, and she can stabilize her emotions very quickly.


    Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Heloise turned and sat on the chair, crossed her hands on the table, looked at Vernis with a blank expression, and said:


    "Ms. Team Leader, I only have one answer to your question just now, and that is none..."


    "No comment, I know."


    Before Mrs. Heloise finished speaking, Vernis took it with a nonchalant wave of her hand.


    This action made Mrs. Heloise''s face darken again.


    But it was not the only action that Vernis made Mrs. Heloise''s face look ugly. Vernis continued to say:


    "The whole process of this case, I have just reported it to my superior.


    After negotiating with the Federal Prosecutor''s Office, my superior agreed to the No. 5 investigation team''s application to withdraw from investigating the case. "


    This sentence means that the New York FBI has communicated with the Federal Prosecutor''s Office regarding the explosion at the gate of the Federal Prosecutor''s Office.


    After the communication is completed, the No. 5 investigation team will ignore the follow-up matters, and the CIA will be responsible for the baskets that the CIA broke.


    Of course, people who are captured by the FBI still belong to the FBI.


    Hearing this, Mrs. Heloise''s face trembled, and the swear words almost spewed out of her mouth.


    The FBI made it clear that they didn''t want to take the blame, and then threw the blame back on the CIA.


    Verinis glanced at the other party''s wrinkled old face, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she got up and walked towards the door of the meeting room.


    "By the way, Mrs. Heloise, there is one more thing."


    Walking to the gate of the meeting room, Vernis seemed to suddenly think of something, patted her head, slightly hooked the corner of her mouth, tilted her head and said:


    "The FBI New York Branch will issue a wanted warrant for Jacquele later, and a reward of $1 million is expected.


    This money is paid by you CIA. "


    The arrest warrant was issued so quickly, in the final analysis, it is the credit of the CIA, who made the explosion happen at the gate of the Federal Prosecutor''s Office.


    After speaking, a smile flashed across Vernis''s face, then she turned around and opened the door of the conference room, and walked out quickly.


    In the conference room, after hearing Verenes'' words and looking at her back, Mrs. Heloise''s lips trembled, her face turned green, and she almost vomited blood from anger.


    "Damn Jacquil! Damn the FBI!"


    ��


    Half an hour later, "Thomas" was brought into the interrogation room of the No. 5 investigation team.


    Roan and Ryder returned to their workstations and took a sip of coffee, planning to take a break before interrogating each other.


    Right at this moment, Vernis and Augustus suddenly walked over.


    "Sir."


    Roan, Ryder, Mona, Lacey and the others hurriedly greeted each other.


    "Everyone worked hard today."


    Verinis was in a good mood. She waved her hand to signal that everyone didn''t need to do this. They all sat down, then handed the folder in her hand to Roan, and said softly:


    "Roan, this is the document for your promotion to senior agent, please sign it."


    Papapa��


    "Congratulations! Roan!"


    Hearing what Verinis said, Augustus, Ryder, Lacey and the others all smiled, and they all applauded for Roan.


    Mona also applauded while looking enviously at Roan.


    "Thank you, sir."


    After receiving the folder, Roan smiled all over his face. After signing the promotion document on the first page, Roan found that there was another piece of paper behind.


    Turning it over, it turned out to be a notification of the Columbus Foundation''s level promotion.


    Originally when Luo An was an ordinary agent, the annual rate of return within the Foundation was at the level of a senior agent.


    Now that Roan is a senior agent, the annual rate of return within the foundation has risen to the level of a supervisory special agent, that is, the team leader.


    Seeing this, Luo An closed the folder with a slap, and the smile on his face became wider:


    "Thank you, sir, for your support and help!"


    Verinis nodded, then tilted her head to look at the interrogation room aside.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 125： Where exactly is Jacquier hiding?

    Chapter 125 Where is Jacquele hiding?


    "That Thomas in the interrogation room, his real name is Demonty Adams."


    Seeing Vernis'' eyes, Mona tapped on the keyboard with ten fingers, and then explained:


    "His experience is similar to that of Jacquil, and he is a soldier who was murdered by John King."


    "OK."


    Hearing what Mona said, Vernis nodded, and then tilted her head to look at everyone, saying that this case is over here, and the arrest warrant for Jacquel will be issued soon, and the off-duty time is coming soon, the After get off work, it''s time to go home.


    "Thank you sir!"


    The detectives of the No. 5 investigation team cheered after hearing the words.


    Seeing this, the corners of Vernis''s mouth rose slightly, and after a satisfied look at Roan, she turned and left.


    Mona frowned, tilted her head to look at Augustus, and asked in doubt:


    "Sir, are we still interrogating Demonty?"


    Augus heard the words, patted his belly and did not speak.


    Before Roan and Ryder were asked to arrest De Monti and bring him back, on the one hand, the case was still belonging to the No. 5 investigation team, and on the other hand, they were also worried that if the CIA caught the murderer before them, the initiative of the two parties would switch positions. .


    But tomorrow this case will not belong to the No. 5 investigation team, and Vernis also said that this case is over, so...


    "Adjudication is also possible."


    After thinking for a few seconds, Augustus showed a smile on his **** face:


    "It is said that the reward on Jacquier''s arrest warrant is worth $1 million.


    If you find out where Jacquier is hiding from Demontee..."


    Hearing this, Mona''s eyes brightened instantly, then she quickly turned her head and cast her gaze on Roan beside her.


    Seeing Mona''s eyes, Roan grinned, took a sip of coffee, and walked into the interrogation room with Mona.


    Forty minutes later, Roan and Mona came out of the interrogation room.


    "Why so long?"


    Lacey, who was sitting at her desk, stretched, pointed to the clock at the front of the No. 5 investigation team office area, and said with a smile:


    "It''s five minutes to get off work, did you ask anything useful?"


    "No."


    Mona shook her head in frustration, threw the notebook in her hand on the table, and let out a long sigh.


    Lacey frowned when she saw this, and turned her gaze to Roan.


    Facing Lacey''s puzzled expression, Roan, who was full of helplessness, threw the folder aside, took a sip of coffee, and slowly explained.


    During the interrogation of Demonte by him and Mona just now, Demonte did not say a word from the beginning to the end.


    Not only that, Roan saw that there was no light in De Monti''s eyes.


    The opponent''s whole person is obviously in the mental state of revenge for revenge and death without regret.


    In addition, the information found by Mona shows that De Monti''s parents are dead, he has no siblings, no wife and children, and he is purely lonely.


    Facing this kind of unsuspecting person, Roan and Mona tried every means, but they couldn''t make Demonti open his mouth.


    Finally, Roan and Mona unanimously decided:


    Although the bounty is high, forget it.


    First of all, Jacquier''s anti-reconnaissance ability and planning and organization ability are very strong.


    Whether it was a car accident or an explosion, Jacquil had never been involved.


    When William investigated the ambulance driver and the surveillance in and around the building where he lived, he only saw the picture of Jacquele entering and exiting the door of the building.


    But after leaving the entrance of the building, Jacquel''s figure completely disappeared, as if he had evaporated in that area.


    I''m afraid only Demontee knows where the other party is now, but Demontee doesn''t speak.


    Even the location Demonte knows is not necessarily where Jacquele is hiding.


    Faced with this situation, in a densely populated place like New York, it is impossible to find Jacquele in a short period of time without the big data analysis of later generations.


    Second, John King sent Jacquel and his comrades to **** for money...


    To be honest, if this happened to Roan, Roan would also choose revenge.


    The only problem is that in the process of revenge, Jacquier caused a car accident and accidentally killed the innocent Evander, and also made a bomb and accidentally injured a lot of passers-by...


    Jacquier''s bounty is indeed high, and Roan also wants it very much. If he meets him by chance in the future, Roan will definitely arrest him.


    But now Jacquel can''t be found in the short term, and these two cases were made by the **** CIA, Roan didn''t bother to wipe their **** for them.


    The matter of the interrogation is not completely finished, but the time has come to today''s off-duty time.


    The agents of investigation team No. 5 went back to their homes, Mona took her laptop back to her newly bought small apartment, Ryder drove home to watch the children, Roanne...


    Follow Lacey to the location on the small card.


    Mainly because I want to see the world.


    "snort."


    Lacey, who was sitting in the co-pilot of the Chevrolet, twitched her mouth when she heard Roan''s words:


    "After entering inside later, the two of us must separate.


    How to play tonight, how many people you know, depends on your ability.


    But there is a premise, the two of us can''t attack someone the other person likes, OK? "


    "no problem!"


    Stepping on the accelerator, the Chevrolet easily overtook the Buick in front. Roan tilted his head and asked with a smile:


    "But what if we both have our eyes on the same guy?"


    Lacey took out the cosmetics hidden somewhere and slowly applied it on her face. After hearing Roan''s question, she winked and smiled:


    "Then give the choice to the person we both like, and see who she chooses!"


    Lacey has been to many such happy places and has rich experience, so she is very confident in herself.


    "That `s a deal!"


    Luo An has a handsome face and a good figure, so he is also very confident in himself.


    Nodding in agreement, Roan turned the steering wheel, and the Chevrolet sped forward on the road with endless traffic, overtaking one car after another.


    Feeling that Roan''s speed was getting faster and faster, Lacey touched the seat belt on her body calmly, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she swallowed and said:


    "Roan, it''s off-duty time, we''re not going to catch that Jacquier, you don''t have to drive so fast."


    Lacey has been wondering these days, Roan drives so fast every time, has he never met a NYPD patrolman to give him a speeding ticket?


    "Lacey, there is a saying in the East across the ocean, time is money!"


    Luo An chuckled, expressing that he attaches great importance to money and never wastes it.


    "Shit."


    After finishing her makeup, Lacey magically disappeared the cosmetics in her hand, then threw a pair of sanitation **** to Roan, and shouted:


    "Time is indeed equal to money, but money can''t buy time! Damn Roan, drive slowly!


    I don''t want to be like that John King, who lost all his time for money! "


    Lacey, a pure American, gave some inappropriate examples, but Roan understood what she meant.


    In order to see more scenery in the future, Roan finally chose to slow down the speed of the car.


    "snort."


    Lacey snorted coldly, took out her mobile phone and started typing. After a long time, she asked in a low voice:


    "By the way, Roan, do you think the CIA can find that Jacquel?"


    Roan tilted his head in doubt: "Why do you ask this question?"


    "William sent me a message just now, saying that the CIA group wants to interrogate De Monti now."


    Lacey showed Roan the information on her phone, shrugged and said:


    "He suspects that the CIA may have some new leads that we don''t know about."


    "It''s not impossible."


    Roan glanced at the phone, frowning slightly:


    "The CIA group didn''t say a word of truth, who knows what clues are hidden in their hands.


    Besides, they have been monitoring Jacquel before, maybe they have deduced Jacquier''s next... target based on Jacquier''s past actions. "


    As he spoke, Roan gave a sudden pause, then his face changed suddenly, and he cursed:


    "Fu-k! I know where Jacquele is hiding!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 126： Mona is in danger!

    Chapter 126 Mona-Dangerous!


    As Roan spoke, his expression became extremely ugly in an instant, and then he slammed on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and the Chevrolet immediately rushed towards the road on the right side of the intersection.


    The sudden push back startled Lacey, but remembering what Roan said just now, she immediately turned her head and asked:


    "Roan, what did you think of? Where is Jacquel hiding now?"


    "Mona! It''s Mona! Call her now!"


    Chevrolet was galloping through the traffic on the highway, while Roan held the steering wheel firmly, he explained to Lacey with a dignified expression:


    "Jacquier has three key revenge targets, namely reporter Evander, chief John King and Mona''s father Javari Evans.


    Now that Evander died in a car accident, John King was bombed everywhere by schoolbag bombs, and Jacquel''s next target is Javari Evans!


    But Jawari-Evans has been out of the country, so."


    "So Jacquier put the target on the daughter of Javari-Evans! That is Mona-Evans!"


    Roan��s analysis found no loopholes in Lacey. Reminiscent of Jacquier��s making schoolbag bombs for John King��s son to carry, Lacey felt that Jacquier��s eyes were on Javari��s daughter. Can do it.


    After reacting, Lacey gasped, without hesitation, she immediately found Mona''s phone number on her phone and dialed it.


    beep beep��


    Hearing the waiting sound from the phone, Roan and Lacey looked solemn. It was the first time that they felt this voice was so tormenting.


    After a few seconds, the phone was picked up.


    "It''s me, Mona."


    Hearing Mona''s familiar voice on the phone, Roan and Lacey Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.


    Fortunately, the worst did not happen.


    Silently stepping on the accelerator, Chevrolet quickly overtook one car after another.


    The small apartment that Mona bought is not far from here. Roan judged the distance and the speed of the car. As long as there is no accident, it is estimated that they will arrive at the building in two minutes.


    Walking out of the elevator in the apartment building, Mona, who was holding a laptop, heard the voice on the phone and asked in doubt:


    "What''s the matter? Lacey, is there any notice?"


    The next second, Mona''s face changed suddenly:


    "You didn''t come to inform me, go back to work overtime now?!"


    She still plans to take a good bath and rest for a night.


    Hearing Mona''s fear of working overtime, the corner of Lacey''s mouth twitched, and then hurriedly told Mona Roan''s analysis just now.


    After Lacey finished speaking, Roan also asked eagerly from the side:


    "Mona, where are you now? Lacey and I will come to you right away!"


    "I just got off the elevator."


    After listening to Lacey''s words, Mona stopped immediately. While her heart was beating rapidly, she looked at the door of her apartment showing a trace of fear.


    If Jacquier''s target is really herself, Mona judges that there are only two suitable places for the opponent to attack.


    One is the parking lot next to the apartment building, and the other is your own apartment.


    She just walked out of the parking lot intact, so Jacquel wasn''t there.


    Then all that''s left is the apartment.


    If Roan hadn''t reminded himself that he opened the door and entered the apartment as usual, then


    Mona swallowed. Jacquel has served for a long time and has performed many missions. He is strong and experienced, and he is also a sniper.


    And the other party holds weapons 100% in their hands.


    Demonte has a rifle in his hand, and Jacquel''s weapons will only be more or less.


    After a brief comparison of the strengths of the two sides, Mona, who only had a pistol in her waist, finally judged that she might, should, probably, 80% of them could not beat the opponent.


    But now is not the time to panic, glanced at the door of the apartment close at hand, Mona did not hang up the phone, but took a deep breath while holding the laptop, turned around, and began to retreat quietly towards the stairs .


    When Mona on the other end of the phone said that she had just stepped out of the elevator, Roan and Leixi Qiqi''s expressions changed.


    Both of them have been to Mona''s apartment, and they also judged that there are only two suitable places for Jacquele to do it.


    Not only that, when Roan went to the building where Mona''s apartment was located, he also analyzed it from the perspective of a killer. If he was trapped there, how could he get out without attracting others'' attention.


    Occupational disease belongs to yes.


    But hearing that Mona didn''t hang up the phone, didn''t continue to talk, but there was no abnormal sound coming from the other end of the phone, Roan and Lacey looked at each other, and they both guessed that Mona was silently walking towards the stairs.


    Chevrolet, which was speeding on the road, turned another intersection again, and Roan finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Just two more traffic lights and they will reach the building where Mona lives.


    Lacey saw the tall building not far away, sticking out her tongue and pursing her lips, the expression on her face also relaxed.


    "Roann,"


    Lacey pressed the phone''s microphone, turned to look at Roan, and whispered:


    "Do you want to contact Augustus?"


    "Of course, also contact SWAT."


    Roan nodded, and immediately took out his mobile phone and handed it to Lacey.


    Right at this moment, there was a sudden gunshot from Lacey''s cell phone.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Three shots were fired, and Luo An''s pupils shrank suddenly.


    Beside the intersection ahead, two NYPD patrolmen are resting and eating burgers.


    Roan''s eyes lit up when he saw this, and then Chevrolet ignored the red light in front of him and rushed through the gap between the two forward garbage trucks.


    "Shit!"


    "Do you want to die?"


    "Jesus!"


    At the intersection, the drivers of two garbage trucks cursed loudly, and the passers-by and drivers who saw this scene covered their mouths and exclaimed.


    Seeing this, two NYPD patrol officers looked at each other, threw away the hamburger they had eaten, and immediately drove up to catch up.


    "Chevrolet ahead! Pull over immediately!"


    "Fu-k!"


    I don''t know whether it was frightened by the gunshots or the scene where the Chevrolet almost hit the garbage truck. Lacey turned pale and cursed.


    But now the situation is urgent, the two ignored the meaning of NYPD, Roan continued to control the Chevrolet and galloped in the direction of the apartment building, and Lacey raised her mobile phone and asked loudly:


    "Mona! You."


    "I''m fine!"


    Before Lacey finished speaking, the sound of Mona running on the stairs and her rapid breathing came:


    "The other party is indeed Jacquil! Call for support immediately! His weapons include pistols and rifles!"


    Just now when Mona successfully moved to the stairs without a sound, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the door of the apartment she bought was suddenly opened from the inside.


    Immediately afterwards, Jacquel''s expressionless face appeared in front of Mona''s eyes, and at the same time he raised the pistol in his hand.


    Mona, who was running down the outermost side of the stairs, immediately shed a few drops of cold sweat when she heard the gunshots, and thanked Roan and Lacey very much.


    If it weren''t for the reminder from the two of them, Mona felt that she might have entered heaven the moment she opened the door of the apartment.


    On the other side, Jacquel stood at the stairs, watching Mona''s running back with a gloomy expression.


    According to Jacquier''s original plan, Mona should have been knocked out by herself the moment she entered the apartment, and then stuffed into the trunk of the car and taken away.


    The whole process is silent and will not attract anyone''s attention.


    But things didn''t go his way.


    "It doesn''t matter."


    Taking a deep breath, Jacquel picked up the rifle in his arms, adjusted the scope, and slowly aimed the muzzle down at the gap in the stairwell.


    He used to be a sniper.


    Just then, the alarm bell rang outside the apartment building.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 127： Jacquil is in danger!

    Chapter 127 Jacquel-Dangerous!


    The crime rate in New York City is well known, and the NYPD police bell is the accompaniment of daily life in this city, and New Yorkers have long been used to it.


    Jacquel didn''t care much about it, anyway, he wasn''t the one who caught him, and no matter how the alarm bell rang, it didn''t matter to him.


    But this time it was different, because the alarm bell outside did not mean to go away, but was getting closer and closer, as if it was coming towards this building.


    "Could it be for me?"


    Thinking of the scene of Mona running up the stairs while shouting her name to the phone, Jacqueline''s face changed when he was about to pull the trigger.


    He arrested Mona to threaten Javari, and finally tried to kill Javari, Javari was killed by him, and he must not be arrested by NYPD or FBI before the revenge is over.


    This is also one of the reasons why Jacquier directed De Monti to kill Evander and John King, but he didn''t do it himself.


    During the few seconds that Jacquel was hesitating, Mona, who was holding a notebook, had successfully ran to the stairs on the first floor of the apartment building, and then disappeared instantly.


    "Shit!"


    Seeing the empty scene in the scope, Jacquel''s face froze and cursed in a low voice, and he slapped himself on the head heavily.


    Put away the rifle, Jacquel walked back to Mona''s apartment with a gloomy face, and cast his gaze downstairs.


    Seeing several police cars ahead, a Chevrolet rushing towards the building, Jacquel''s face became even uglier.


    Jacquel knew this Chevrolet, and when he checked out Mona��s relationship, he discovered that the owner of the Chevrolet was a male colleague of Mona��s.


    "The FBI has found me."


    This thought flashed across his mind, and Jacquel immediately put away the rifle without hesitation, and then quickly left Mona''s apartment.


    Javari Evans is not dead yet, he cannot be arrested, and now he must hurry up and get out of here.


    As for whether he can leave here smoothly, Jacquel is not in the slightest panic.


    He had scouted this building and the surrounding area beforehand, and after a little thought, he had a planned route.


    Before leaving, Jacquel glanced at the Chevrolet downstairs and snorted coldly:


    "Mona''s male teammate, I remember you."


    After speaking, Jacquel immediately turned and left.


    ��


    Downstairs, the Chevrolet makes its way to the apartment complex.


    "These patrolmen will be handed over to you, Lacey, let them seal off this area!"


    With a beautiful tail flick, Roan quickly finished these words.


    Before Lacey could react, Roan immediately unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, took out a Glock 18 and 3 extended magazines from under the seat of the Chevrolet, and then quickly ran into the gate on the first floor of the apartment where Mona lived. .


    The reason for attracting these patrolmen to come here is naturally because SWAT will not be able to arrive in a short time, but this area needs personnel to block it.


    The reason why Roan handed over this matter to Lacey is also because Lacey knows many people in NYPD.


    woman.


    Among them are not only the female sheriff, but also the wives and daughters of NYPD senior officials.


    In this regard, Lacey is the boss.


    "do not move!"


    "Show me your hands!"


    "Put your hand on the front of the car!"


    Seeing Roan''s back disappearing in an instant, then hearing a sudden sound of brakes, followed by the shouts of the group of NYPD patrolmen behind him


    Lacey''s face froze, full of MMP.


    This area is more prosperous, and there are more NYPD patrols. In addition, Luo An drove too fast, and the two patrols at the intersection couldn''t catch up, so they decisively called the nearby patrols to help.


    The final result is that there are now five police cars parked behind Chevrolet''s buttocks, and 11 patrolmen are staring at it nervously.


    "We are the FBI! On a mission!"


    Raising her hands and getting out of the car, Lacey shouted with displeasure written all over her face:


    "Badge in my pocket, now, get me your NYPD Sheriff Charlize!"


    Hearing Lacey''s words, the 11 patrolmen froze in place.


    Inside the apartment building.


    "Mona!"


    The moment Roan broke into the building was exactly when Mona ran out of the stairs on the first floor.


    Seeing Mona holding the laptop tightly while running, Roan''s mouth twitched, but he immediately went up to her and held it tightly behind him.


    Standing at the corner, Roan held the Glock 18 in a tactical posture and stared at the stairs, while asking in a low voice:


    "No injury?"


    "No!"


    Hearing that something was wrong with Mona''s voice, Roan hurriedly turned his head to look at Mona, only to find a bright red scratch on Mona''s left face.


    "The computer swiped while running downstairs just now."


    Seeing the worry in Roan''s eyes, Mona touched the discomfort on her face, shrugged and smiled:


    "Slight injury, at least not shot."


    Roan frowned when he saw this, and just about to say something, Mona gave him a hug, and then whispered in his ear:


    "Thank you very much, Roan.


    If you hadn��t informed me of this news in time this time, I��m afraid I would have died.��


    Thinking of John King''s misery everywhere, Mona couldn''t help but shudder.


    "You don''t have to be so polite, Mona."


    Mona''s hug ended, and Roan subconsciously planned to rub his hands, but suddenly remembered something, raised his brows, and asked with a serious face:


    "Jacquil hadn''t left when you went downstairs just now, right?"


    "Yeah"


    Mona nodded, then tilted her head and asked:


    "What are you going to do?"


    "What are you doing?"


    Roan carefully checked the Glock 18 in his hand, then touched the scratches on Mona''s face, and grinned:


    "Of course it is to arrest people!"


    As I said before, when Roan came to Mona''s house for lunch, due to occupational diseases, he had subconsciously planned out how he would go if the building was surrounded so that he could leave quickly without attracting the attention of others. this building.


    There are two routes.


    There is no protruding balcony in this building, and Mona''s apartment is still on the fourth floor.


    One of them was directly pulled out from the window of Mona��s house, grasping the protruding edge under the window with both hands, moved to the other end of the building, and finally jumped to the roof of the small second-floor apartment diagonally opposite.


    The second route is to go directly to the roof of this building, then jump from this building to the roof of another apartment building diagonally opposite, and finally leave from that apartment building.


    In fact, there is still a fire-fighting staircase outside the building that can be used, but that staircase is in front of Lacey and others, and Jacquel cannot be stupid enough to walk that way.


    The first route was also ruled out by Roan, because when he came just now, he didn''t see anyone outside the window of Mona''s apartment.


    So Jacquier chose the route to leave here, and the probability is the second one.


    Thinking of this, Roan no longer hesitated, and immediately rushed to the roof of the building while holding the Glock 18 on guard.


    Roan didn''t dare to take the elevator, if he met Jacquel just after the door opened, it would be a lot of fun.


    "Where are you going? Roan?!"


    Mona didn''t know that Roan had analyzed these things. When she saw Roan rushing upstairs without saying a word, her face suddenly changed, but she hurriedly followed without hesitation.


    After these days of experience, Mona has subconsciously developed the habit of going with Roan when handling cases.


    In Mona''s eyes, Roan''s running speed from the first floor to the sixth floor has always been so fast, and he has never descended.


    "Damn! Isn''t he tired of climbing stairs?"


    Mona had just climbed to the 3rd floor, when she looked up and saw that Roan had already reached the 6th floor, she was shocked and cursed in a low voice:


    "What a monster!"


    Mona''s shock Roan didn''t know, but he saw Jacquel''s shock.


    Because just when Roan ran to the top of the building in one breath, Jacquel just carried a satchel, assisted him to run a few steps, jumped from the top of the building, and flew to the top of the diagonally opposite building.


    Seeing Jacquel flying in mid-air, Roan grinned and raised his Glock 18 to aim at him.


    Jacquel: "!!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 128： Family

    Chapter 128 Family


    Jacquier, who was in mid-air, saw Roan aiming at his gun in his hand, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he cursed:


    "F��"


    As soon as the initial letter was spoken in the words of greeting, Roan pulled the trigger of the Glock 18 with a smile on his face.


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    Four 9mm bullets flew out of the gun in an instant, and three of them hit Jacquier''s left and right calves and left arm with great precision.


    The remaining bullet was because Jacquele subconsciously tilted his body in a hurry, and finally accidentally hit the root of Jacquele''s right thigh.


    Boom��


    Jacquel, who was carrying a satchel, did not fall to the bottom of the building in mid-air, and finally succeeded in leaping to the top of the diagonally opposite building.


    But instead of standing, he lay directly on the ground.


    Still hit the face first.


    At the same time, there was a burst of screaming and cursing in pain.


    "Sonof than eat!"


    Feeling the pain from the three limbs, Jacquel''s face twitched and he took a breath of cold air.


    But after all, Jacquier has many years of combat experience, and this gunshot wound is still within his tolerance.


    The moment he landed, his uninjured right hand touched the satchel not far away.


    There are not only pistols and rifles in the shoulder bag, but also grenades, smoke bombs and other weapons he prepared in advance.


    "do not move!"


    As soon as Jacquel stretched out his hand, Roan arrived on the high platform on the edge of the roof of Mona''s building. Without hesitation, he shot directly at the ground between Jacquel and the satchel.


    boom!


    Feeling the cement debris splashed on his face by the bullet, Jacquel froze immediately, then slowly turned his head with a gloomy expression, and cast his eyes on Roan on the roof diagonally opposite.


    "Pull your hand back at once, Mr. Jacquel."


    Roan pretended not to see the look in Jacquier''s eyes that wanted to kill him. He held up the Glock 18 and said kindly:


    "Move your hand a little further, and I''m going to send you to see God."


    The smile is very sunny, but the words are very cold.


    Staring at Roan''s handsome face in silence for a few seconds, Jacquier slowly retracted his hand.


    "Good."


    Roan nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to speak, Jacquel, who was diagonally opposite, spoke first. He asked solemnly:


    "FBI agent, what''s your name?"


    Jacquel didn''t understand why Roan found himself so quickly, and he was very shocked by Roan''s speed.


    He clearly remembered that when he left Mona''s apartment, the other''s Chevrolet had just arrived at the bottom of the building.


    "Don''t move, Mr. Jacquier."


    Hearing Jacquel''s question, Roan frowned.


    The other party obviously wanted to divert his attention by chatting, so as to find a way to escape from here.


    This routine Roan is too familiar with.


    So after hearing Jacquel''s question, Roan didn''t mean to answer, but directly arranged:


    "Now, Jacquel, immediately move slowly to your left, as far away from the satchel as possible.


    After reaching the proper position, stretch the limbs to the maximum extent and lie flat on the ground. "


    "Shit!"


    Hearing this, Jacquel cursed from the bottom of his heart.


    The guy on the opposite side looks so young, how can he be so sophisticated?


    Now that his limbs have been shot, if he really wants to spread his limbs and lie flat on the ground, then he will really be completely turned into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.


    Taking a deep breath, Jacquel was just about to speak when Mona, panting and hugging the computer, suddenly came out of the stairs.


    "Roan! Are you okay?"


    Seeing Mona calling Roan''s name when she reached the top of the building, Jacqueline narrowed her eyes and looked at Roan expectantly.


    As long as the guy with the gun turns around when he hears the sound, he has a chance.


    "I''m fine, call Lacey first, then call an ambulance."


    Hearing Mona''s voice, Roan stared at Jacquel without looking back, and said slowly with a slight hook at the corner of his mouth:


    "Let Lacey come to the roof of the building next door, Mr. Million Dollar is already under my control."


    Mona''s eyes lit up when she heard the words, she took out her phone and nodded heavily:


    "OK!"


    Jacquel: ".Fu-k!"


    ��


    Not long ago, the apartment was downstairs.


    Lacey put her arms around a slim-waisted white policewoman with short hair and whispered to each other.


    The female police officer is the NYPD Sergeant Charlizi.


    Not far away, the patrolmen who maintained order, blocked the area, and prevented passers-by from entering the building saw this scene with black lines all over their heads.


    Just when Lacey felt that the time had come, she licked her lips and was about to invite Xia Lizi to watch some good movies at her home after get off work today.


    Two middle-aged Caucasian men wearing FBI gray-blue coats suddenly appeared. After talking to the NYPD patrol in a low voice, they broke into the blockade and walked towards the gate of the building.


    When Lacey saw the faces of the two, her face changed, she hurriedly pulled out her pistol and quickly stopped in front of them, saying loudly:


    "Sorry, two, you can''t enter here!"


    Seeing Lacey pull out a gun to stop him, the leading middle-aged white man stretched out his hand to Lacey, with a smile on his face:


    "Hello, my name is Terry, and I am from the Terrorist Screening Center (a department under the FBI Homeland Security Service, see the preface for details)."


    "Yeah?"


    When Lacey heard this, a sneer appeared on her face:


    ��But my colleagues told me before that you are from the Counter-IED Division.��


    ��.��


    That''s right, the two people who appeared here are the two CIAs who wanted to **** them from Roan before.


    Roan told everyone in the No. 5 investigation team about this incident afterwards, and also gave a brief description of their appearance.


    Had a grudge with the CIA, and Lacey, who came out of the intelligence service, naturally remembered the appearance of the two of them.


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Terry''s eyebrows twitched, and then he felt a headache.


    Not long ago, when Mrs. Heloise and her men went to the interrogation room of the No. 5 investigation team to interrogate De Monty, they used some kind of potion and successfully obtained a word:


    Family.


    Mrs. Heloise reacted instantly when she heard it, and immediately sent her men to Mona''s house.


    It is best to find Jacquele, if not, Mona should be taken away, and the CIA will temporarily control her.


    Mrs. Heloise knew that what she did would cause the FBI to be dissatisfied, but she couldn''t catch Jacquel. Whether she could stay in the CIA in the future was a problem, so the FBI''s dissatisfaction was nothing to her. .


    As long as Mona doesn''t die, there will be no major problems.


    Standard CIA thinking.


    As for the reason why the two of Terry came here, Lacey could figure it out after a few seconds of simple thinking.


    Roan said that these two people are Madam Heloise''s subordinates, and Madam Heloise''s target is Jacquel, and Jacquier''s target is Mona, and Mona still lives in this building .


    If Mona was not the target of the two of Terry, she would not believe it even if Lacey was killed.


    So, when Terry coughed lightly and was about to say something, Lacey immediately raised her pistol unceremoniously:


    "Two gentlemen from the CIA, as I said, it is forbidden to pass here."


    Terry''s face suddenly sank when he heard the words, but just as he was about to speak, Lacey''s cell phone rang suddenly.


    Jingle Bell-


    The moment Lacey took out her phone, Terry tilted her head and gave a look to her teammates beside her.


    The teammate did not hesitate, and immediately bypassed Lacey and broke into the apartment building.


    "Shit!"


    Lacey looked angry when she saw this, but Terry immediately stood in front of her and laughed:


    "Don''t be angry, Agent Lacey, I won''t leave, you should answer the phone first, maybe it''s important news."


    ��.It really is the CIA��s style of doing things.��


    Looked down at the phone and found that it was Mona. After Lacey gave Terry a cold look, she immediately pressed the answer button:


    "It''s me, Lacey."


    The next second, when she heard Mona''s words on the phone, Lacey was stunned for a moment, and then her face became weird in an instant.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 129： Spit a mouthful of old blood on the spot

    Chapter 129 Spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot...


    Hung up the phone, Lacey took a deep breath first, then glared fiercely at Terry, who was standing in front of her with a smile on her face, and said angrily:


    "Mrs. Heloise''s subordinate, Terry, right, today''s incident, I will keep it firmly in my heart!"


    After speaking, before Terry could reply, Lacey put away her pistol and left here quickly.


    You can��t hurry up, Lacey hasn��t received professional training, she��s afraid she can��t help it.


    Looking at the back of Lacey running fast, Terry chuckled, smacked his lips, turned and walked into the apartment building.


    But at the moment when the elevator door closed, thinking of the direction Lacey was running in, Terry''s face suddenly changed:


    "Damn it wouldn''t be"


    Thinking of the speculation in his mind, Terry''s face turned black as if he could squeeze out water, and he began to frantically press the elevator buttons.


    After a while, he followed Lacey''s running route and quickly rushed to the downstairs of the apartment building diagonally opposite.


    Just when Terry didn''t know where he should go, an ambulance suddenly stopped beside him. Terry''s eyes lit up when he saw this, and he hurriedly followed the nurses into the elevator.


    Then Terry saw the scene where Roan and Lacey carried Jacquel, who was firmly handcuffed, onto a stretcher on the roof.


    Terry: "."


    Wiping the sweat that didn''t exist on her forehead, Lacey''s eyes lit up when she saw Terry who had arrived here.


    Like Terry, she coughed lightly, and Lacey pointed to Mona who was standing next to her holding a laptop, and said with a smile:


    "Your CIA is here to find Mona, she is here now, if you have any questions, you can ask her."


    Roan and Mona, who had just heard Lacey narrate what had happened, looked at each other, and Qiqi turned her gaze to Terry with a smile on her face.


    Seeing the expressions on the faces of Roan and Mona, Terry''s face slowly turned into a liver color.


    After a long silence, he finally choked out a word:


    ".Fu-k!"


    ��


    In the distance, in a meeting room of the Jacob Federal Building.


    Madam Heloise sat on a chair, looking at Vernis who was sitting diagonally across from her, feeling very unhappy.


    Vernis, who was processing the documents with her head down, was expressionless, and was actually very dissatisfied with Mrs. Heloise.


    Now it''s time to get off work. According to the normal situation, Vernis should have returned to her house to get ready to rest.


    But because Mrs. Heloise interrogated De Monty not long ago, Verniss hurried back from the way home.


    Even so, the CIA group still used an unknown potion for Demonti.


    If Augustus hadn''t reacted quickly, Demonte might have turned into something terrible later on.


    As mentioned earlier, the case will be handed over to the CIA tomorrow.


    But after all, De Monti was one of the perpetrators of the bombing in front of the Federal Prosecutor''s Office, and he was also arrested by the FBI, so he must be brought to court by the FBI.


    This is a big credit.


    Before that, Demonte must not die.


    Mrs. Heloise felt angry and helpless because of this.


    One wrong step, one wrong step.


    According to past habits, when facing a die-hard person like Demonte, Mrs. Heloise has already used the bottom-of-the-box guys from the CIA to make Demonte cry and talk about information.


    Because of ignoring that Roanne Greenwood, Mrs. Heloise not only couldn''t do that, but also fell into a very passive situation:


    One of the chief executives of a certain CIA out-of-town region now actually depends on the face of the team leader, Vernis!


    Thinking of this, Mrs. Heloise''s nails pierced deeply into her palm.


    She wished she could use all the underdogs from the CIA on that Agent Roan!


    But the information I want to find shows that Roan not only has brains, good skills, careful observation, strong physical strength, but also the value of Verenice.


    This makes it impossible to use the ordinary means against others in the past on Roan.


    If you want to attack Roan, you must formulate a specific plan for Roan''s weaknesses.


    But now Mrs. Heloise is in a hurry to catch Jacquel, and she has no time at all.


    "However, according to the data, the relationship between Roan Greenwood and Mona Evans seems to be closer."


    Thinking of this, Madam Heloise sneered:


    "It happened that I sent someone to find Mona Evans before, as long as she is taken away, then later."


    Mona was not valued by Verinisi, her father Javari-Evans was still on mission abroad.


    Thinking of this, Mrs. Heloise''s eyes flashed a cold light.


    "Lady Heloise."


    At this moment, after processing the documents on the conference table, Vernis first rubbed her sore shoulders, then tilted her head and asked in a cold voice:


    "When are you going to investigate tonight?"


    If these guys don''t leave, Vernis can''t go home.


    The main reason is that they are afraid that they will still use the drug when they interrogate Demonti next time, which will eventually lead to Demonti''s death.


    Verinis has decided that if the other party wants to interrogate Demonti next time, she must be present to supervise.


    Another reason is that Augustus had called her not long ago and said that Roan and Lacey had guessed and discovered Jacquel''s traces and were now on their way to arrest each other.


    It��s fine if Jacquel is not caught. If Jacquele is really caught, Vernis must also guarantee that Mrs. Heloise must not let Mrs. Heloise take away her person and credit.


    After all, today is not completely over, and the case still belongs to the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Madam Team Leader."


    Hearing what Verenes said, Mrs. Heloise glanced at the other party, and said with a blank face:


    "This building does not only belong to the FBI, I will leave here, you don''t need to rush people away."


    While Madam Heloise sent Terry to Mona''s house to investigate clues, she also asked other men to fetch a more powerful interrogation potion.


    If Terry doesn''t find any clues, then De Monti is one of the important breakthroughs in arresting Jacquel. Mrs. Heloise has no intention of letting him go.


    "snort."


    Verinis snorted coldly when she heard the words, and was about to say something when her and Mrs. Heloise''s cell phones suddenly rang at the same time.


    Jingle Bell-


    Casting a glance at each other, the two got up together and walked to the north and south corners of the conference room, and pressed the answer button.


    A few seconds later, a smile appeared on Verenice''s face, and Mrs. Heloise''s face darkened instantly.


    The two received calls from Roan and Terry respectively. But the news is the same, that Jacquel has been caught.


    "Excellent, Roan."


    Verinis turned around and glanced at the old lady in the diagonal corner of the conference room, and slowly put away the smile on her face, but her voice was a little louder unconsciously:


    "You worked hard today, go home and have a good rest after things are over.


    I''m going to have a press conference tomorrow afternoon, and you''re going to be there with me. "


    Hearing that Vernis was about to hold a press conference, Mrs. Heloise''s already gloomy face became even uglier. She immediately hung up Terry''s phone, and then turned around and said angrily:


    "Team leader, you."


    Before the old lady finished speaking, Vernis hung up the phone and walked towards the conference table, saying loudly:


    "Ms. Heloise, don''t forget to pay Jacquel''s $1 million bounty."


    After finishing speaking, Vernis picked up the folder on the table and left the conference room with a slight upturn of her mouth.


    After all, it is a big case that blows up the door of the Federal Procuratorate, so it is not too much to hold a press conference.


    "you"


    In the conference room, Madam Heloise''s complexion changed when she heard that she had to pay that guy Roan a bounty.


    In the next second, without breathing out, Mrs. Heloise''s eyes suddenly went dark, and she fell back directly.


    After the incident, Mrs. Heloise was sent to the hospital and successfully revived.


    But she was already very old, and this sudden fall caused fractures in her arms and thighs.


    Not only that, regarding the bombing incident at the gate of the procuratorate, the CIA just needs someone to stop the people and hostile forces from talking.


    So Mrs. Heloise, who was lying in the hospital, voted for herself when she was not present, and she was very honored to accept the cauldron.


    After learning about this incident, Mrs. Heloise spat out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, and was pushed into the operating room again


    But this time she failed to win the resurrection match, and she didn''t come out, but the black and white photos did hang up.


    In the distance, inside the Chevrolet, Roan frowned slightly after hanging up the phone:


    "Press conference?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 130： My house is actually quite big

    Chapter 130 My house is actually quite big


    On the second day, investigation team No. 5.


    "Good morning, Mona."


    Roan, who was carrying a bag of breakfast, opened the door and walked in. In the office area, besides Lacey who was sleeping on the table, he also saw Mona sitting on the desk and typing on the keyboard.


    After the incident yesterday, Lacey went to the hospital to watch over Jacquel at night, while Roan drove the Chevrolet home to sleep and rest.


    "Good morning, Roan."


    Sitting down on his desk, Roan took a bite of his breakfast, tilted his head and said in doubt:


    "Mona, why did you come so early today?"


    According to the usual situation, Mona and Augustus go to work together.


    "I actually came last night."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Mona shook her head, saying that after yesterday''s incident, she hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to deal with all the items in the room before going back to live.


    So Mona drove to the Jacob Federal Building last night, and spent the night in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    Speaking of this, Mona asked by the way:


    "Roan, can you introduce me to the decoration company that decorated your apartment?"


    The small apartment Mona bought belongs to the kind that was renovated before and moved in with bags.


    Jacquel''s incident this time made Mona think about redecorating.


    "no problem."


    This trivial matter Roan waved his hand and agreed, and then asked with a smile:


    "Mona, are you going to rest in the office area tonight? My house is actually quite big..."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona didn''t answer, but just rolled her eyes at him.


    Soon, everyone from the No. 5 investigation team arrived one after another.


    Augus is still the gate of the No. 5 investigation team who stepped in.


    As in the past, after Augustus briefly talked about today''s task arrangement, all the agents began to work.


    No case has been handed over to the No. 5 investigation team today. Today''s work content of the No. 5 investigation team''s detectives is to deal with the follow-up procedures of the car accident and bombing cases.


    No matter which country you are in, solving a crime does not end with catching the murderer.


    Follow-up, there is a lot of work such as writing case reports, contacting court judges, determining the trial date, contacting the procuratorate, contacting the prison, and handling case evidence.


    Compared with NYPD, the FBI handles these tasks faster, and the process steps are much simpler.


    However, all kinds of procedures and formalities add up, after all, there are still many.


    If the whole process of handling a case is divided into ten steps, then finding clues and arresting the murderer can only be regarded as the first four steps.


    These four steps are the most difficult four steps, but the subsequent steps are the most excruciating six steps.


    Regardless of the country, the procedure is the same.


    Grinding and complicated.


    However, Roan basically didn''t participate in the follow-up work.


    Since Luo An joined the No. 5 investigation team and successfully cracked the first case, the case report has always been written for him by the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team who have time.


    Among them, Mona wrote the most for him.


    As the team leader, August spent most of his time in charge of handling the expenditures in the process of solving the case, as well as processing and filing the case files.


    Lacey and Ryder, afterward, spend more time guarding the prisoners and contacting the prison.


    William and other technicians are responsible for contacting court judges, helping prisoners apply for lawyers, determining the time of trial, contacting the procuratorate, and handling case evidence.


    Of course, no one in the No. 5 investigation team expressed dissatisfaction with such a work arrangement.


    The reason is also very simple, that is, Roan can lead them to solve the case every time.


    Before Luo An arrived, the No. 5 investigation team had just been established, so the detection rate was not mentioned.


    The salaries of all the agents can only get the basic salary, and the bonuses have never been seen.


    But since Luo An arrived, the detection rate of investigation team No. 5 has skyrocketed.


    Although the salary is still low, the bonus has been increased in an instant, and you can always get a thank you money after solving the case.


    Where did the money come from, and why their quality of life was improved because of this, all the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team knew very well.


    So although the agents of the No. 5 investigation team are now writing documents and making phone calls, Luo An is sitting at the workstation and staring at the computer screen in a daze, the external gap seems a bit big.


    But no one complained in the office area, nor behind them.


    Roan didn''t know what was going on in the hearts of the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team. He was checking the screen in front of him at this time.


    Yesterday''s experience, the system gave him an excellent evaluation, and the reward he gave was not as expected by Roan, it was three bottles of medicine.


    They are a bottle of stamina potion, a bottle of strength potion, and a bottle of swift potion.


    are Roan''s favorite potions.


    Now he has seen that the hemostatic potion and antidote potion can indeed save his life at a critical moment, but getting injured is not a good thing after all.


    So how do you keep yourself from getting hurt?


    Of course, thick skin and quick reaction!


    If you want to do this, you naturally need the support of stamina potion, strength potion and swift potion.


    Thinking of this, the corners of Luo An''s mouth rose slightly, and there was a gleam in his eyes.


    Because the stamina potion also has some unexpected blessings in other aspects...


    "Roan! Come here."


    Just as Roan looked down at the night vision potion in the system, thinking about whether he should try a bottle tonight to see what attributes he could add to himself afterwards, Augustus'' voice suddenly came.


    Looking up and looking in the direction of the sound, Augustus is leading an elderly white man in a suit at the door of the meeting room of the No. 5 investigation team, waving to him.


    The three entered the conference room and sat down. Augustus raised his hand and said:


    "Roan, this is lawyer Nicola."


    Roan showed doubts on his face, but he still stretched out his hand with a smile on his face:


    "Hello, Lawyer Nicola, my name is Roan Greenwood, just call me Roan."


    "Hello, Agent Roan."


    The elderly white lawyer smiled, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Roan, then took out the folder from the purse beside him, and said with a smile:


    "I am the lawyer representing the six banks that were robbed by robbers some time ago.


    I came here today to ask you to sign a document. "


    Hearing the identity of the other party, Luo An raised his eyebrows.


    Looking down at the folder handed over by the other party, as expected, it was exactly what Verinis had told him before, and six banks hired him as a security consultant.


    In the middle of this document, it is clearly stated that the job of this security consultant costs 2,000 US dollars per month per bank.


    Six banks add up to $12,000 a month.


    Of course, this money is not for nothing. Luo An will make suggestions for improvement and equipment upgrades for the security of these six banks in the future.


    But Roan''s eyes lit up instantly.


    Because after being promoted to a senior agent, Roan''s monthly salary is only 3,000 US dollars.


    Carefully checked the contract, and found nothing wrong, Roan signed his name.


    After Lawyer Nicola left the conference room, Roan turned his gaze to Augustus beside him.


    Roan remembered that Vernis had said that only when the bank paid the thank you money would someone ask him to sign this contract.


    Now the contract is in front of my eyes, the bank''s thank you money...


    Seeing Roan''s eyes, Augustus also grinned.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 131： MP Ma Tai

    Chapter 131 Ma Tai Councilor


    No nonsense, Augustus directly patted Roan on the shoulder:


    "The 600,000 thank you money from the 6 banks has already been transferred to the account of the No. 5 investigation team.


    Among them, 400,000 will be allocated to you later! "


    When Luo An heard the words, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said loudly:


    "Thank you sir!"


    "You''re welcome, you deserve it."


    Augus waved his hand. Roan contributed the most to the serial bank robbery, so of course he should take the lead.


    Just when Augustus was about to continue to say something, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    The call was from Vernis.


    Verinis'' words were still short and concise, and said directly:


    "Send Roan to my office."


    "Okay, sir."


    Roan got the news and immediately went to Verinisi''s office.


    "sit."


    In the office, Vernis threw the signature pen in her hand aside, leaned back on the chair with a bumpy body, looked at Roan and said softly:


    "I have just been informed that this afternoon''s press conference, in addition to the special agent in charge of Corbett, one of the New York governor''s candidates, Congressman Ma Tai will also participate and attend."


    Hearing Mr. Ma Tai''s name, Roan was full of doubts:


    "Who is this?"


    Seeing this, Verinis narrowed her eyes slightly:


    "you do not know?"


    "No."


    Roan shook his head repeatedly. He didn''t pay much attention to New York politics, and he didn''t know much about the governor''s election.


    Virinisi lowered her head and pondered after hearing this.


    Roan would not deceive himself about such trivial matters, he really didn''t know each other.


    Why did Senator Namatai attend this press conference?


    The opponent is a contender for governor, and they are the FBI.


    The two sides cannot be said to be in hostile camps, but the relationship is not very friendly either.


    Thinking of the slogan of Congressman Ma Tai running for governor is "reduce the crime rate in New York", Vernis''s eyebrows jumped, and thoughts began to flow in her mind.


    Hearing Vernis''s description of Mr. Ma Tai, Roan''s eyelids trembled, and suddenly remembered something:


    "Sir."


    Roan hurriedly raised his head and said:


    "The previous serial murder case, I was accidentally on TV, Mr. Matai should have known me at that time..."


    I thought that after I joined the No. 5 investigation team, I accidentally achieved a 100% detection rate.


    Roan felt that Mr. Ma Tai may appreciate part of himself, but more part may not want to use him.


    "Um?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Vernis was taken aback for a moment, and then woke up suddenly.


    It was she who overlooked this.


    If this is the case, it means that Congressman Ma Tai also saw the scene where Roan killed the serial murderer with a pen.


    Reminiscent of the slogan for the election of Matai Congressman...


    Verinis immediately got the same idea as Roan.


    That is, there is a high probability that the other party wants to take this opportunity to get acquainted with Luo An, and finally find a way to achieve their political goals through Luo An.


    No way, Roan''s performance during this period is too eye-catching for those who care about him.


    Although Roan is an agent of their FBI, he is too young.


    The old fox who is immersed in politics likes people like Luo An.


    Thinking of this, Verinisi said decisively:


    "Roan, you don''t need to go to the press conference this afternoon."


    Roan nodded: "Okay, sir."


    Luo An didn''t want to attend the press conference.


    The reason has been described before, Luo An doesn''t want to be famous, he just wants to solve the case quietly and make money, making a fortune silently.


    An FBI is too famous, and it will definitely attract the attention of the group of "uncrowned kings" in New York who are desperate for ratings.


    Na Luoan''s future cracking of the case will definitely add a lot of difficulties invisibly and passively.


    Roan would never do such a thing as causing trouble for himself.


    Of course, if it is an event within the FBI, such as an award ceremony or a commendation meeting, Roan will still participate.


    After all, there are bonuses or medals to get.


    On the other side, Vernis decided to look back at the Matai MP, then tilted her head and thought for a while, then took out a blue folder from the pile of folders beside her, handed it to Roan, and said softly:


    "By the way, this is Jacquel''s $1 million reward."


    Speaking of the reward, Vernis looked at Roan with satisfaction.


    The money for the reward was injected into the account by the CIA yesterday afternoon, but Jacquel was caught by Roan last night...


    Recalling the green faces of the CIA group after learning the news, Vernis smiled.


    But the smile was quickly put away by her.


    In front of her subordinates, Vernis has always paid attention to maintaining her dignity.


    "Thank you, sir."


    Roan didn''t notice the smile on Verenice''s face, his attention was all on the folder in his hand at the moment.


    Just now, Roan received 400,000 thank you money from Augustus, and another 1 million here...


    Roan decided to go to Wall Street after get off work tonight.


    It is now 2005. At this point in time, the stock prices of companies such as Apple and Google do not seem to be very high.


    In addition, the Matai congressman also needs to check.


    At least you must know what the other party''s purpose is.


    ��


    In the afternoon, ten minutes before the press conference, backstage.


    "Hello, Ms. Team Leader."


    An old white man in a suit, with a serious face and a big bald head walked up to Vernis, smiled and held out his hand:


    "I am Zem-Matai."


    "Hello, Senator Ma Tai."


    Stretched out her hand and shook hands with the other party, Vernis turned around and introduced to him the Mediterranean Sea next to her:


    "This is our FBI Special Agent Director."


    "Hello, Mr. Congressman."


    Some Mediterranean Corbetts reached out and shook hands.


    The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while. After Mr. Ma Tai sat on the chair, he began to look around.


    Since the last time I saw Roan killing a serial killer with a pen on TV, Mr. Matai remembered Roan''s name.


    But at that time, some work suddenly appeared on his hand, so he temporarily left Roan behind.


    When Congressman Ma Tai saw the name Roan Greenwood in his notebook again, after questioning, he learned that Brosen had been kicked out of the FBI headquarters, and that Roan also solved the case that Brosen had not solved.


    Now Councilor Ma Tai is more interested in Roan.


    After hearing the news that there was going to be a press conference here yesterday, Councilor Ma Tai pondered for a moment and decided to postpone a schedule to attend the conference.


    According to the information collected by his subordinates, Roan Greenwood is the leader in solving the recent cases.


    Faced with this situation, Councilor Ma Tai believes that Roan will definitely attend this press conference.


    He wants to chat with Roan on the spot to see what kind of person Roan is before deciding on future plans.


    but��


    What about the Roan people?


    Carefully observing the surroundings, Councilor Ma Tai''s mouth twitched, showing doubts.


    Seeing the expression and movements of Councilor Ma Tai from the corner of the eye, Vernis frowned slightly.


    But now is not the time to worry about this. The time for the press conference has already begun. Vernis took a deep breath, stood up and walked to the camera.


    Facing the long-barreled and short cannons in front of her, Verinisi''s expression was still very cold:


    "Dear friends from the press, the press conference begins now."


    ��


    At the same time, in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Roan looked at the information of Councilor Ma Tai that Mona helped him find, and leaned on his chin and fell into deep thought.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 132： Sudden explosion!

    Chapter 132 Sudden Explosion!


    This press conference was not a live broadcast, so the agents of the No. 5 investigation team did not watch the TV.


    Roan sat at his desk, leaning on his chin to look at the computer.


    According to the data in the computer, Zem-Matai is 66 years old this year and is the third generation of the Matai family in power. His current goal is to become the governor of New York State through the election.


    If he succeeds in this campaign, he will work hard for a few more years in the future, and he may even have a chance to hit the position of President of the United States.


    His son, named Wilbur Mattei, is 34 years old and is currently serving and working in the prosecutor''s office in Brooklyn, New York.


    "Standard American political family."


    Seeing the information on the computer, Luo An frowned slightly.


    Political family is a social phenomenon in the United States that is publicly ruled by powerful families.


    The more famous ones include the Adams family, the Roosevelt family, the Bush family, etc. These families have at least two American presidents.


    However, for the Eastern people, it is the Kennedy family who know more.


    Because the family itself is shrouded in a mystery known as the ''Kennedy Curse'':


    From 1941 to 2009, nearly ten "Kennedys" died unnaturally.


    The most famous of them is the president who likes to laugh.


    The Matai family definitely does not have the energy of the above-mentioned families radiating the whole country, but it is definitely not difficult for them to work hard in the city of New York for three generations, and radiate energy and connections throughout New York.


    As we all know, the famous attraction of DC comics: Gotham City with simple folk customs, its prototype is New York.


    In reality, the city of New York is very densely populated, and more than 20% of the population actually lives below the poverty line.


    In addition to cultural phenomena such as drugs and gangsters, and the United States has always called for freedom of propaganda...


    Anyway, the number of felony prosecution records in New York City every year is based on 100,000.


    Verinis once said before that Congressman Mattai��s campaign slogan is "reduce the crime rate in New York."


    Lowered his head and pondered for a long time, Roan turned his head to look at Mona who was typing on the keyboard, and said:


    "Mona, can you find out more information about Mr. Ma Tai?"


    "more info?"


    Mona turned her head when she heard the words, raised her eyebrows:


    "What kind of data?"


    Roan showed a smile, nodded and whispered:


    "Except for the current computer, all other data!"


    An old fox like Representative Ma Tai who has been immersed in American politics for many years may use any despicable means to achieve his goals.


    In order to protect himself, the first thing Roan has to do is to figure out the target of the opponent.


    Roan can''t do this only with the existing public information in the computer, he needs some other information.


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona didn''t hesitate, and immediately tapped on the keyboard with ten slender fingers:


    "You''re going to buy me dinner."


    "no problem."


    Roan, who had just received a huge sum of money, grinned and nodded decisively in agreement.


    Ten minutes later, Mona stopped what she was doing, and turned to look at Roan with a serious face:


    "A good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"


    "...I hate that line, Mona."


    Luo An was speechless when he heard the words. He sighed and raised his head and said:


    "You can say whichever you want to say first, and I will leave the choice to you."


    "No fun."


    Mona pouted, turned her gaze back to her computer screen, and said:


    "The bad news is that Senator Matai is clean.


    Although he is 66 years old this year, he only had one drunk driving when he was 25 years old.


    In the remaining decades, Mr. Ma Tai never had a criminal record. "


    Hearing this, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then spread his hands to signal Mona to continue.


    "The good news is that I found news that was published in the newspaper together."


    Mona showed Roan the page on the computer, and said with a dark face:


    ��Six years ago, a white mother went to the NYPD to report that her 13-year-old daughter was missing.


    Half a year later, NYPD successfully captured a criminal organization that bought and sold minors.


    In the account book of this organization, information such as the photo name of the white mother and daughter appeared.


    According to the records, the 13-year-old daughter was sold to a wealthy man in the New York area.


    But after investigation, this rich man''s company is a shell company, and he is probably just a glove, and the other party is actually working for a certain congressman. "


    This MP is Mr. Ma Tai.


    However, due to insufficient evidence and the instigation of NYPD high-level officials, the investigation against Congressman Ma Tai was shelved.


    During the period, several NYPD police officers who tried to continue investigating the matter were transferred to the small branch in the suburbs of New York.


    Not only that, the rich man was also shot in the back in his garage before the police caught him and committed suicide.


    "..."


    After reading the information on the computer and thinking about the Loli Island incident in later generations, Roan''s face was gloomy, and he didn''t know what to say for a while.


    "Roan?"


    Seeing Roan staring at the computer screen and not speaking, Mona, who had an ugly face, tilted her head and asked:


    "Why do you want to investigate this Matai congressman?"


    Mona didn''t know that Mr. Matai came to attend the press conference downstairs today.


    When she was asked to check the basic information of Councilor Ma Tai just now, Mona did not ask the reason, and checked directly.


    Mona has always believed in Roan.


    Hearing the question, Roan came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and briefly described the matter.


    "So, you mean"


    After listening to Roan''s words, Mona covered her mouth and exclaimed:


    "Member Matai is following you now?!"


    "..."


    This sentence sounds fine, but when it comes to the news just now, there is something wrong with Mr. Luo An''s words.


    But Roan doesn''t panic. He is 25 years old this year, which is far beyond the category of minors.


    Shaking his head, Roan threw aside the messy thoughts in his mind, and just about to speak, Mona asked with a solemn expression:


    "Roan, what are you going to do next?"


    Luo arranges to pat his arm, leaves the chair and stands up.


    He intends to go downstairs for a stroll to find out why Congressman Ma Tai attended this press conference.


    If he really came here for him, after the press conference, Luo An will find an opportunity to meet with Congressman Ma Tai.


    No matter what the purpose and idea of ??the other party is, only by meeting and chatting can we get more information.


    Dodging doesn''t solve the problem.


    Roan returned to the No. 5 investigation team before, mainly because he did not want to participate in the press conference, and at the same time asked Mona to investigate the relevant information of Congressman Ma Tai.


    drip��drip��


    Roan was just about to briefly explain his thoughts to Mona, when the corridor outside the No. 5 investigation team''s office area suddenly sounded an alarm.


    "Shit!"


    The moment the siren sounded, the expressions of all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team changed suddenly.


    Because this alarm sound means that there is an emergency in this building, and everyone is asked to evacuate the building immediately.


    Roan was also taken aback, but before he could ask what happened, William suddenly exclaimed:


    "Damn it! There was an explosion at the press conference just now!"


    William can always get the news as soon as possible about what happens in this building.


    "What did you say?"


    "How can it be?"


    "What''s going on?"


    Hearing this, the agents of the No. 5 investigation team frowned, and Luo An''s expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked loudly:


    "William! Where''s the team leader Verenes? She..."


    Hearing Roan''s question, William immediately replied loudly:


    "The team leader is also injured, but the details are not clear!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 133： Vernis was seriously injured and unconscious, MP Mattai

    Chapter 133 Verinisi is seriously injured and comatose, Mr. Ma Tai...


    Hearing William''s words, Roan''s face turned livid, and he immediately got up and rushed out of the No. 5 investigation team.


    The speed of running was so fast that several technicians of the No. 5 investigation team didn''t even react.


    They only felt that in the blink of an eye, Roan disappeared from their eyes.


    Mona next to her could see Roan''s movements clearly, but in the end she only choked out a word with a flushed face:


    "monster!"


    Feeling the whistling wind from around them, all the detectives in the corridor other than the No. 5 investigation team were startled.


    But before they could react, Roan''s figure had already reached the stairs.


    In desperation, Roan grasped the handrails of the stairs with both hands as he did in the previous villa operation, jumped forward, kicked his feet **** the walls on both sides of the stairs, moved left and right, and headed downstairs at an extremely fast speed rushed over.


    "Jesus!"


    "Ohmygod!"


    "Who is that? Is he flying?"


    "I don''t know, I didn''t see his face clearly!"


    Seeing Roan''s movement downstairs, the other investigators of the investigation team were shocked, and they all exclaimed.


    Those who didn''t see Luo An''s face clearly asked who this flying guy was.


    Roan didn''t know what the detectives behind were thinking. He was just rushing to the scene now, wondering what happened just now.


    Soon, Roan arrived at the floor where Verini Sikai''s press conference was held.


    As soon as he entered this floor, Roan, who has always been very sensitive to smell, smelled a strong smell of blood.


    Without stopping, Roan hurriedly ran against the flow of people into the large conference room where the press conference was held.


    At this moment in the conference room, the scene was very chaotic, with wailing and screaming, and several reporters who were injured and bleeding were lying on the ground.


    Augus and several uninjured detectives urgently treated the wounds of the wounded, and at the same time urgently called the emergency response center in this building and the nearby hospital, asking them to send someone quickly.


    When Roan rushed into the room, at the front of the conference room, a **** corpse with almost no flesh in the upper half suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.


    Beside the lower half of the corpse, Vernis, who was covered with wounds, lay unconscious in a pool of blood.


    A young female detective who was bleeding from her lower abdomen, with a pale complexion, tried to stop the bleeding from Verinisi''s wound while enduring the pain.


    "give it to me!"


    Seeing this, Luo An hurried to the female detective and took over her work.


    The female detective relaxed, her eyes turned white, her body became weak, and she fainted to the ground.


    "Fu-k!"


    Hastily stretched out his hand to catch the female agent''s head to prevent her from being injured again, and then Roan turned his gaze to Vernis, glanced at her, his face was ugly.


    Originally a beautiful body with bumps and convexities, now the chest, abdomen, thighs and other places have exposed a large amount of flesh and blood.


    But these were not fatal injuries. What really made Roan''s face look ugly was that there was a deep knife-like wound that was clearly cut open on Vernis''s lower abdomen and continued to bleed outwards.


    Seeing the rapid bleeding from the wound, Roan glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, and the machines on the ground were not facing here. Then he immediately took out a bottle of hemostatic medicine from the system page and poured it into Verinisi''s mouth. inside.


    The effect of the hemostatic potion was still strong. After a few seconds, Verinisi''s wound did not heal, but it stopped bleeding.


    Breathing out a foul breath, Roan hurriedly turned around, preparing to stop the bleeding of the unconscious female detective.


    Just then, agents from the emergency response center rushed in with medical equipment.


    "Just leave it to me!"


    A female detective in a white coat ran here, nodded to Roan, and immediately took over the wound treatment of Vernis and the unconscious female detective.


    "OK, thank you!"


    Seeing this, Luo An frowned slightly, and immediately got up and handed the scene over to professionals.


    Soon, the ambulance arrived, and the wounded inside the conference room were taken to the nearest hospital.


    ��


    Half an hour later, Vernis was safely pushed out of the operating room by the nurse, and Roan and August Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.


    Sitting down on the chair by the corridor, Roan passed the water in his hand to Augustus. After the other party finished drinking, Roan finally asked a question:


    "Sir, what happened just now?"


    "Sonof than eat!"


    Hearing Roan''s question, Augustus''s **** face became even darker. After a few curses, he recounted what happened:


    The process of the press conference was very simple. Vernis briefly introduced the identities of Corbett and Mattei to the reporters who came here, and then began to briefly describe the general situation of the bombing of the Federal Prosecutor''s Office.


    After hearing about the bombing, the FBI managed to catch the two murderers in less than 24 hours, and the conference room exploded.


    When did the FBI become so efficient?


    The FBI didn��t know where the two killers were hiding in advance, and then went to arrest them directly after the explosion?


    Suddenly, reporters from various news media in New York raised their hands and clamored to ask Vernis their questions.


    Verinis is used to the tricky questions these reporters always ask, and has rich experience in how to answer them correctly.


    A few minutes later, the stage of asking questions from reporters was over, Vernis stepped off the podium, and handed over the rest of the time to the special agent supervisor Corbett.


    Corbert walked onto the stage, praised Verinisi and the No. 5 investigation team, and then returned to his seat.


    "Then, that Matai congressman came to power."


    Speaking of this, Augustus twitched his face, and Roan also thought of something, and twitched the corner of his mouth.


    After Congressman Ma Tai came to power, he first introduced himself quite humorously, and then expressed his affirmation of the FBI''s successful detection of the bombing of the Federal Prosecutor''s Office within a short period of time.


    Immediately afterwards, Congressman Matai connected the bombing with his own campaign slogan and prepared to give an impromptu unscripted speech.


    Just then, the explosion happened.


    "I was sitting in the corner, so it wasn''t hurt."


    Augus raised his head and took a big sip of water, then said with an ugly face:


    "But I can see clearly, the source of the explosion is the lecture table.


    At that time, Councilor Ma Tai coughed, and the next second, a burst of violent white light suddenly burst out from in front of him, and then everyone present fell to the ground. "


    Among them, the person closest to the speech table is Ma Tai, the indistinct corpse after the explosion.


    Verinis was sitting diagonally behind the podium, and her injuries during the explosion were second only to Congressman Mattai.


    The third most seriously injured were the special agent supervisor Corbett who was sitting far away from the podium, and the reporters who were busy recording the words.


    After listening to Augustus'' description, Roan showed a strange expression.


    When Vereneth and Corbett took the stage, nothing happened, but as soon as Matey arrived, the explosion happened...


    Thinking about the information he found from Mona before, Roan frowned slightly.


    But after thinking about it, this is the Jacob Federal Building, and security checks are required for entry and exit. How did the murderer bring the bomb into this building?


    Could it be... There is a ghost inside?


    "Sir, hello."


    At this moment, a white young man in a suit and leather shoes came over, looked at Augustus and said:


    "The Chief of Special Agents asked you and Agent Roan Greenwood to go to his ward now."


    "OK."


    Invited by the supervisor of the special agent, Augustus and Roan hurriedly got up and walked over.


    In the ward, Corbett is on the phone.


    Roan took this opportunity to take a look, and found that Corbett was injured on his left arm and left thigh, both of which were wrapped in thick bandages.


    "Okay, I know."


    Hung up the phone, Corbett put away the phone, and then turned his attention to Augustus and Roan.

 Chapter 134： 【Press Conference Bombing Case】

    Chapter 134 [Press Conference Bombing Case]


    In the ward, Corbett, who was wrapped in bandages, was lying on the bed, looking at Roan and Augustus with serious expressions:


    "How is Vernice doing now?"


    "Out of danger."


    Augus said that the injuries on Verinisi''s body looked scary, but the doctor said that her physique and luck were good, the blood loss was not serious, and she has now left the operating room smoothly.


    Roan next to him raised his brows and said nothing.


    "Good."


    Corbett breathed a sigh of relief.


    The person who called him just now was the secretary of Mr. Washington Clement.


    "Augus, Roan."


    After a moment of silence, Corbett stared at the two standing in front of the hospital bed, and said solemnly:


    "This matter will be handed over to the No. 5 investigation team.


    You must do your best to find out the truth and catch the murderer! "


    A bomb appeared on the site of the FBI, which not only injured several FBI officials and reporters, but also killed one of the powerful candidates for governor of New York


    Corbett can already think of the expression on the face of the director of the FBI''s New York branch, and the headlines on the front pages of the major newspapers in New York tomorrow morning.


    "Yes, sir."


    Augus agreed with a very solemn face.


    Reminiscent of the fact that the behind-the-scenes of the ''Bombing in front of the Procuratorate'' is actually the CIA, and their No. 5 investigation team caught the murderer before the CIA.


    Augus moved slightly in his heart.


    Roan, who was standing beside Augustus, heard that Corbett handed over the case to the No. 5 investigation team, and the expression on his face remained unchanged.


    When the white youth asked him and Augustus to come here, Roan guessed it.


    Roan did not reject taking over and investigating the case.


    But not for that Mattai councilor, but for Vernis.


    ��


    The office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Agents!"


    Augus stood at the front with a big belly, holding a black notebook in his hand, and shouted with a straight face:


    "I think everyone knows that there was a very serious explosion at the press conference just now!


    Member Matai was killed on the spot, and our team leader, Vernis, is now lying on a hospital bed.


    I was at the scene when the case happened, so I will briefly explain the situation at that time. "


    After repeating what he said to Roan in the hospital to the agents of the No. 5 investigation team, Augustus continued to shout:


    "Judging from the situation at the scene, we now assume that the target of the murderer''s attack is Councilor Ma Tai!


    William, now you can introduce the identity and background of Mr. Ma Tai! "


    "Okay, sir."


    William picked up a blue folder from the table and read aloud:


    "Zem Mattei, 66 years old this year, a member of the Democratic Party of New York, is preparing to run for the governor of New York in the near future. His slogan is ''reduce the crime rate in New York''. His poll support rate is about 57%"


    "Good."


    Augus nodded, waved his hand to signal William to sit down, and continued:


    "This bombing attack may be related to the past experience and family life of Congressman Ma Tai.


    Of course, it may also be a political war! "


    When Lacey heard this, she said with an ugly face:


    "The main competitor of Congressman Ma Tai is the current governor of New York State. If this explosion is really a political war, then"


    Hearing this, the agents of the No. 5 investigation team suddenly had different expressions.


    Augus was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and looked at Roan who was sitting at his desk looking down at the information, and asked loudly:


    "Roan, what do you think?"


    I''m going to sit and watch!


    Luo An raised his head speechlessly, raised the document in his hand and said:


    ��We don��t care about whether there is a political war behind this case.


    The first thing to do now is to quickly find out who brought the bomb into the Jacobs Federal Building!


    So, next, we need to investigate the monitoring before the incident, and see who has touched the podium.


    and where and who moved this podium from.��


    In the Jacobs Federal Building, there are not only the New York branch of the FBI, but also a large number of government departments such as the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Social Security Administration.


    For security reasons, a complete security check system has been set up on the first floor of the Jacobs Federal Building.


    So, how on earth did the killer bring the bomb into the building?


    "Yeah"


    Augus nodded very satisfied, clapped his hands and said loudly:


    "Agents, act now!"


    The monitoring facilities in the Jacobs Federal Building are very complete. Hearing Roan''s words and August''s arrangement, all of a sudden, the No. 5 investigation team was filled with crackling keyboard sounds.


    Roan sat on a chair thinking for a moment, tilted his head to look at William, and asked:


    "What did the trace inspection department say?"


    "They haven''t checked it out yet."


    William shook his head, and after picking up the mouse to switch a few pages, he showed the computer screen to Roan:


    "Debris at the crime scene showed traces of Semtex, batteries and advanced circuitry, but beyond that, no further clues could be found.


    Detective Nair of the Trace Inspection Section said that it must have been done by a professional. "


    Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and continued to ask:


    "What about the model of the bomb?"


    "The time is too short, and the trace inspection department is still not sure."


    William spread his hands:


    "The only thing they can be sure of is that the bomb was detonated by a radio frequency signal."


    "RF signal?"


    Hearing this word, Roan''s expression sank.


    This shows that the bomb in the podium is a remote-controlled bomb.


    After a moment of silence, Roan patted William on the shoulder:


    "After all the inspections by the trace inspection department are completed, the relevant materials must be handed over to me as soon as possible."


    "no problem!"


    William smiled and agreed.


    Just returned to her workstation, Mona suddenly exclaimed:


    "Roan, I found a shooting case!"


    In Mona''s computer, a surveillance video is currently playing.


    The time recorded in the video is about ten minutes after the explosion at the press conference, and the location is at the entrance of the alley two streets west of the Jacobs Federal Building.


    In the picture, a middle-aged Caucasian woman walks up and down the alley anxiously with a phone in her hand.


    After a while, the phone rang suddenly, and the woman put it to her ear, the anxious expression on her face quickly disappeared, and a smile appeared instead.


    Immediately afterwards, a car drove up from a distance, and the woman waved repeatedly.


    Just when the car arrived near the woman, and the woman was about to open the door to get in the car, the window of the co-pilot suddenly opened, and a gun protruded from it.


    The next second, the woman was shot in the forehead and fell to the ground, while the car drove away at high speed.


    In the last scene of the video, several passers-by panicked and picked up their mobile phones and started to call the police.


    Roan frowned when he saw this, and tilted his head to look at Mona.


    This time Mona didn''t play tricks, she flew her fingers on the keyboard, and quickly called out the information of the woman in the video.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 135： vicious mail

    Chapter 135 Vicious mail


    "The woman in the video is Ancona, 46 years old, and one of the people cleaning up the floor where the press conference was held."


    Mona showed Ancona''s information to Roan, and then called up another surveillance video:


    At the beginning of the press conference, Ancona used to walk around the corridor outside the conference room with a mop in her hand, always putting her left hand in her pocket.


    The moment the explosion happened, Ancona seemed to be frightened. She sat down on the ground first, and then hurriedly took advantage of the chaos and left there in a hurry with the others.


    "It seems that she is the one who remotely controlled the bomb and made it explode."


    After watching the two videos, Roan pursed the corners of his mouth, and after a few seconds of contemplation, he tilted his head and said to Mona in a deep voice:


    "Can that car find out anything useful?"


    "No."


    Mona shook her head, frowned after tapping the keyboard a few times and said:


    "The license plate on that car is fake.


    According to the surveillance video on the highway, it was only found that the car drove into downtown Brooklyn. "


    Downtown Brooklyn, where you just drop that car on the side of the road and have a helpful guy clean it up in minutes.


    Roan was silent for a moment, thought for a while and said:


    "Check Ancona''s recent financial situation and see if I can find any useful clues."


    "OK."


    Mona nodded, and continued typing on the keyboard with her ten fingers.


    Time moves forward quickly, and it will soon be time to get off work.


    After get off work, Luo An and the others did not go home immediately, but drove to the hospital to visit Verinisi.


    But at this time, Vernis hadn''t woken up yet, and was still lying on the hospital bed and lethargic.


    Looking at each other, Luo An and the others had no choice but to leave first and come back tomorrow.


    ��


    The next day, Mr. Ma Tai''s house.


    Sitting in a study room as large as the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Roan and Lacey looked at each other and quietly sipped their coffee.


    Yesterday��s shooting case, NYPD has handed over to investigation team No. 5.


    Ancona��s bank account��s economic status Mona didn��t find anything abnormal, but if the other party got the banknotes but chose to hide them, then Mona would naturally not be able to find out.


    So in the end Mona chose to go to Ancona��s home with Ryder to take a look, and at the same time visit Ancona��s relatives and friends to see if they could find any useful information.


    "All dinner invitations canceled for this week!"


    At this moment, a somewhat angry voice suddenly came from the corridor outside the study.


    The next second, the door of the study was pushed open, and a middle-aged white man with a long face and short beard walked in with an elderly white man in a suit.


    "Also, I also rejected the CNN interview!


    My dad just passed away and they invited me on the show! **** it."


    Matey��s son, Wilbur Mattey��s face was full of anger, while the elderly white man beside him was full of sadness.


    Roan and Lacey looked at each other, and Lacey got up first and stretched out her hand to Wilbur:


    "Hello, we are FBI agents, this time we are"


    "I know, you are here to investigate the bombing."


    Before Lacey finished speaking, Wilbur interrupted her with a wave of his hand, walked quickly to the desk, picked up a glass of wine and poured it all into his throat, then turned his head and said:


    "Sorry, my father passed away so suddenly, I was dealing with things yesterday afternoon and evening, so I need a drink to pick myself up now."


    Seeing Wilbur''s red eyes, Lacey frowned slightly and asked:


    "So can we start?"


    "Can."


    Wilbur nodded, then picked up a bottle of wine and took another swig.


    Lacey frowned when she saw this, and turned her head to look at Roan.


    Roan didn''t talk nonsense, he took out a notebook directly from his pocket, and asked with a serious face:


    "Mr. Wilbur, have you found anyone suspicious recently?"


    "I have no idea."


    Wilbur shook his head, expressing that he had to go to work every day, and Mr. Matai went to different places every day. He didn''t know Mr. Matai''s daily experience.


    Roan heard the words, casually wrote in the notebook, and continued to ask:


    "Then, has your father offended anyone recently?"


    "My father is a member of parliament, how could he not offend anyone."


    Hearing this question, Wilbur sneered:


    "Recent words."


    "Ahem!"


    Halfway through Wilbur''s words, the elderly white man who had been standing beside him suddenly coughed.


    The intense coughing sound startled Wilbur. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly threw the wine in his hand aside, and said:


    "I have a headache, you should ask him the next question."


    Roan and Lacey frowned when they heard this, and turned their attention to the elderly white man.


    "Two agents."


    Seeing the eyes of the two, the old white man slowly showed a smile, and said softly:


    "My name is Adam, and I am the steward of the Matai family."


    "Hello, Adam."


    Roan stretched out his hand to suppress the agitated Lacey, and then continued to ask without changing his expression:


    "As the steward of the Matai family, you must know a lot about Matai''s experience during his lifetime.


    Excuse me, has Congressman Ma Tai offended anyone recently? "


    "Sorry, I"


    Adam smiled slightly, and just about to deny it, Roan said directly:


    "I know what you want to say, but what I want to tell you is that although Congressman Matai is dead, the explosion may not be over, and the Wilbur next to you is likely to be targeted by the murderer.


    Although you can ask bodyguards to protect you at all times, but the bodyguards will always relax, and the murderer will never relax, so you can imagine the consequences yourself.��


    "What?"


    Seeing Roan say these words with a serious face, the corner of Lacey''s mouth trembled, Adam frowned, and Wilbur straightened up instantly:


    "Where did you get the news that the murderer was after me?"


    Roan didn''t answer, just smiled, and turned his gaze to Adam.


    ��.��


    Adam fell into deep thought, while Wilbur started scratching his head and drinking heavily.


    There was a long silence in the room, and when Wilbur was about to bear it, Adam finally raised his head, looked at Roan and said:


    "Mr. Detective, when Mr. Ma Tai was still there, not long ago, he received an email every day on his computer.


    The content of the email is very vicious. It has repeatedly threatened to use a bomb to kill Mr. Matai. "


    ��


    The pitch-black SUV sped toward the Jacob Federal Building.


    "Nice job, Roan."


    Lacey was sitting in the co-pilot, looking down at the computer that Adam handed them over, and asked with a smile:


    "Roan, do you think that butler Adam finally told the truth?"


    "of course not."


    Roan shook his head, but with a simple thought, he guessed what the other party was hiding.


    It is nothing more than the other congressmen and organizations that Ma Tai offended because of different interests or camps during his lifetime.


    But those people or organizations are all for money in the final analysis, and they will not send bombs into the FBI''s territory to bomb Matai Congressman.


    After all, doing so also offended the FBI, and offending the FBI would do no good to these people.


    Jingle Bell-


    Just as the SUV was about to arrive at the Jacobs Federal Building, the phone in Lacey''s pocket suddenly rang.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 136： Part-time job in the park

    Chapter 136 Part-time job in the park


    He took out his phone and looked down, only to find Mona on the other end of the phone.


    Pressed the answer button, Lacey smiled and asked:


    "How is it, Mona, have you found any clues?"


    "Yeah."


    Mona on the other end of the phone yawned and said:


    "Ryder and I found a secret compartment under the floor of Ancona''s kitchen."


    Roan, who was driving, frowned and asked with a smile:


    "The hidden compartment should contain money."


    "That''s right, Ancona hid 80,000 dollars, a pistol, and more than 30 rounds of ammunition in the hidden compartment."


    Mona on the other end of the phone replied:


    "Not only that, I also found a neatly packed backpack in Ancona''s bedroom closet, which contains complete clothing and some daily necessities."


    Lacey heard the words, cast her eyes on Roan, and said:


    "It seems that before the explosion, Ancona was ready to leave New York afterwards."


    In the surveillance video, after Ancona received the call, she was all smiles and waved repeatedly when she saw the car. It is not difficult to see that Ancona and the driver of the car obviously knew each other.


    Luo An nodded and said, "But she didn''t expect that the other party would choose to silence her afterwards."


    When Ancona was shot and fell to the ground, her face was full of disbelief.


    Thinking of this, Roan tilted his head and asked:


    "Mona, Ancona''s friends and relatives, does anyone know or know the identity of that driver?"


    "That''s why I''m making this call."


    Mona on the other end of the phone sighed:


    "Ancona has been alone all this time, and her relatives have never heard that Ancona has a boyfriend recently.


    But Ryder and I learned from a female friend of Ancona that Ancona has actually been working part-time as a prostitute for the past few years. "


    "Forehead"


    Hearing this, the corners of Lacey''s mouth twitched, and Roan frowned slightly:


    "So, that driver is likely to be a customer served by Ancona."


    "The probability is high."


    There was a crackling sound of keyboard tapping on the other end of the phone, and Mona replied:


    "The area where Ancona works part-time is a park five blocks away from her home.


    There are basically no cameras there, and I can''t find out who the clients Ancona has served. "


    Not only that, when Mona and Ryder visited the hotels and hotels near the park, they did not find any record of An Kena having a room with other men there. The hotel owner and waiters also said that they had never seen An Ke. Na this person.


    So Mona speculates that Ancona is likely to take money directly in the park to do things.


    After all, Ancona''s part-time job is at night, and there are no street lights in the park.


    It is very convenient to work in the grass in the dark.


    Even if the police encounter her, Ancona and her clients can still pretend to be a couple looking for excitement.


    Hanging up the phone, Roan and Lacey looked at each other, and both saw the speechlessness in each other''s eyes.


    But Roan didn''t panic, Ancona couldn''t go on this road for the time being, but he still had the computer that Adam handed over.


    Backing to investigation team No. 5, Roan immediately handed the computer to William and other technicians.


    After all, Mona and Ryder are still on their way back.


    Time moved forward slowly, and Roan and Lacey were sitting at their workstations, reading the content written in the email together.


    ��Before going to bed every night, I no longer count sheep, but imagine **** you, Mr. Mattei.


    The most effective method is to use a bomb to kill you, and then feed your minced meat to stray cats]


    After reading a few emails, Lacey''s face was full of disgust:


    "Damn, this guy is a pervert."


    "Exactly."


    Roan on the side also nodded again and again:


    "What''s wrong with stray cats?"


    ��.��


    After being silent for a while, Lacey turned to look at William, poured him a cup of coffee, and asked:


    "How about it, did you find out who posted the email?"


    "certainly!"


    William frantically tapped on the keyboard with a few fingers. After a few seconds, he picked up the coffee and drank it, and then smiled and showed the information in the computer to Roan and Lacey:


    "Lindroy Jacobs, 34, spent a year in Rikers Island prison for assault with a deadly weapon."


    Looking at the long-faced bald white man in the computer, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    "Where is his current address?"


    "Forest Hills, Queens."


    Pull the mouse, the data in the computer slowly moves, William said in a deep voice:


    "However, the parole officer said that Lindrow-Jakob is a violent guy and will not be easily arrested."


    Hearing what William said, Roan raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to look at Lacey:


    "Contact SWAT Operations Team."


    "OK."


    ��


    Forest Hills.


    Two groups of heavily armed SWAT action teams slowly approached a factory building. The leader of the team held a riot shield and moved to the metal gate. After confirming that it was safe, he tilted his head and looked at his teammates behind him.


    Seeing this, the teammate immediately took out a large piece of directional explosive tied to a long wooden strip from behind, and stuck it to the metal gate of the factory building.


    A long yellow wire was connected to the directional explosive. The team members quickly retreated into the team while releasing the wire, and then turned their attention to Luo An.


    At this time, Luo An was completely dark.


    Holding a Glock 18 in his hand, wearing an explosion-proof helmet on his head, a plywood vest on his body, and five shock bombs, five smoke bombs, and a full ten extended magazines stuffed around his waist.


    Except for the lack of a rifle, Roan looks more SWAT than SWAT.


    Wearing FBI-style body armor and holding a pistol, Lacey stood behind Roan, her face full.


    Liver pain.


    Seeing the eyes of the SWAT team members, Roan did not hesitate, and whispered directly:


    "fry!"


    Received the order, the SWAT team immediately turned on the switch of the detonator.


    Boom��


    A deafening explosion sounded, and the metal gate flew out instantly, and the leading SWAT team immediately raised their anti-riot shields and rushed into the factory building.


    "FBI!"


    "GO! GO! GO!"


    There are only a few lights flickering in the factory building, the goods are piled up randomly, and the terrain is slightly complicated.


    SWAT team members immediately dispersed into groups of three when they saw the situation, and then followed the path between the shelves to quickly search for the specific situation in the factory building.


    Roan, Lacey and a SWAT team member walked slowly towards a small path on the left side of the factory building.


    bang bang bang bang��


    "We exchanged fire!"


    "Cover! Cover!"


    Just a few steps away, there was a sudden gunshot from the west side of the factory building, and the three of them immediately rushed towards the direction of the sound.


    Bullets were shot from nowhere, and dazzling sparks burst out after hitting the shelves.


    Several SWAT members hurriedly raised their guns to fight back, shouting at the same time:


    "Assault team to fight!"


    "Stick to the wall and move forward!"


    bang bang bang��


    Roan, who ran here, fired two shots at a distance not far away. After making sure that the opponent was not in that position, he immediately rolled and rushed behind the somewhat crooked shelf.


    Except for the second floor of the warehouse, this location can be seen clearly in many other places. After looking around for a week, Luo An immediately ordered loudly:


    "Number 11! Your team, watch the stairs!


    Number 3, number 5! You flank catch up! "


    "receive!"


    The three teams rushed to the relative position immediately after hearing Roan''s order.


    On the other side, the white man hiding behind a certain shelf immediately raised his gun and pulled the trigger in the direction of the sound.


    bang bang bang��


    Bullets shot out from the muzzle of the gun, either falling on the shelf in front of Roan, or falling on the shelf on the side.


    Lacey next to her was nervous when she saw this, and her muscles tensed:


    "Roan!"


    "I''m fine!"


    Roan''s face remained unchanged.


    The locations mentioned in his order just now are on the side and behind the enemy on the opposite side.


    Seeing that the SWAT team members are getting closer and closer to themselves, the enemy will definitely choose to leave there temporarily to avoid the SWAT team members.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 137： pulled out from behind

    Chapter 137 Pulled out from behind the ass...


    Sure enough, the next second, the bullets fired here stopped, and the figure of the white man receded back.


    Lacy breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and was just about to move to Roan''s side, but saw Roan, like a pitch-black cheetah, jumping and galloping in the direction of the opponent''s shooting, and approached at a very fast speed.


    Glanced at the complex terrain, covered with shelves and all kinds of messy items on the ground, and then looked at the back of Roan who disappeared in an instant, Lacey and several SWAT team members suddenly expressed doubts about life:


    With such heavy clothes and so many obstacles on the ground, how did he run so fast? !


    Glancing at the messy obstacles in the warehouse, Roan instantly outlined the best route to the side of the enemy''s hiding place in his mind.


    Then the strength in his body exploded, Roan moved forward quickly in the most suitable posture, and rushed towards his target location.


    The sound of vibrating wind rang in his ears, and a strange energy burst out from his abdomen. Roan felt that his heart was like a high-pressure water pump, pumping energy continuously to all parts of his body.


    "Damn the FBI!"


    Because he appeared on his side, surrounded by SWAT team members, the white man cursed the guy who gave the order in a low voice, and then immediately retreated towards the back shelf.


    He doesn''t panic because he has backhands.


    Just at the end of this warehouse, there is a workbench, where there are many bombs he just finished.


    As long as he runs there and comes into contact with those bombs, then these swat players can only obediently obey his orders and leave the factory building.


    And this factory building has other exits, he believes that he can take this opportunity to escape smoothly.


    The white man just turned around when he suddenly heard a whistling wind behind him.


    He turned his head in a low mood, and suddenly saw a dark figure rushing towards him like lightning.


    "Fu-k! What monster?!"


    The white man''s eyes showed shock and panic for a moment, and he subconsciously prepared to raise the gun in his hand and pull the trigger towards the figure.


    But just as he was about to raise his pistol, the right hand of the pitch-black figure suddenly burst into dazzling light in the darkness.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Three gunshots sounded, and the white man instantly felt a sharp pain in his right hand holding the gun and his two thighs.


    But before the white man could scream, Roanna''s dark figure had already rushed in front of him, kicking the white man''s chest with his powerful right foot.


    Boom��


    A sharp pain came from his chest, and the white man flew upside down in an instant.


    After knocking down several shelves, the white man lay in a pile of goods, his body shook, his head tilted, and he passed out instantly.


    "Fu-k!"


    "Thank you for the great gift!"


    "Jesus!"


    Roan rushed here, shot and kicked people for only a few seconds, and surrounded this position. Several groups of SWAT players who were lucky enough to see the whole process were shocked and screamed.


    Then he looked at Roan in awe.


    The United States is a country that puts the rules of the weak and the strong on the bright side, such as school violence incidents of bullying the weak, and the social phenomenon that quarterbacks generally have more girlfriends.


    It is a habit of some Americans to maintain an attitude of reverence for the strong, especially for violent institutions such as SWAT.


    Roan''s speed, strength and marksmanship instantly conquered this group of SWAT players.


    Seeing the amazed eyes of these SWAT players, Roan smiled and waved his hands, then hurriedly walked up to the white man, checking his face and body for injuries.


    The white man is none other than Lindrow Jacob.


    Just then, Lacey walked over quickly.


    She was also very shocked by Roan''s actions just now, but she also made a good discovery just now.


    Lacey walked up to Roan, took out a notebook from behind her buttocks, and said with a serious face:


    "Roan, I just found a computer not far away.


    I checked carefully, and this computer is full of emails threatening Congressman Matai. "


    ��.��


    Seeing Lacey''s actions, and remembering that she had always miraculously pulled out a bunch of cosmetics before, Roan fell silent for a moment.


    After a long time, he raised his head and asked with a serious face:


    "Lacey, there''s a question I''ve been meaning to ask you."


    "what is the problem?"


    "Where did you hide the item?"


    ��


    That afternoon, investigation team No. 5, interrogation room.


    Bandaged Lindrow was sitting in a wheelchair, and his uninjured left hand was firmly cuffed to the table in front of him.


    The door of the interrogation room was pushed open, Roan was holding a cup of coffee, and Mona came in with a laptop in her arms.


    The two sat on the chair opposite Lindro. After Mona finished preparing, Roan grinned and said:


    "Good afternoon, Lindlow."


    Lin Deluo didn''t speak, his face was livid, and he looked at Roan with an unusually cold gaze.


    "OK."


    Roan took a sip of coffee indifferently, then stopped talking nonsense, and asked directly:


    "Tell me, why did you kill Congressman Ma Tai?


    Also, how did you get the bomb into the Jacobs Federal Building? "


    "Fu-kyou! I didn''t kill Mr. Matai!"


    Hearing what Roan said, Lindro twitched the corner of his mouth, and then roared loudly:


    "I didn''t do that bombing! I don''t even know what happened!"


    "Yeah?"


    Roan raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to Mona. Seeing this, Mona immediately turned the laptop in her hand and said in a cold voice:


    "We found a large pile of bombs made of the same material as the bombing case in your warehouse.


    And in your computer, you found an email that insulted Congressman Ma Tai and claimed that he would be killed by a bomb. "


    Hearing that the material of the bomb in the bombing case was the same as that of the bomb he made, Lindrow''s pupils shrank suddenly.


    After a few seconds of silence, he shouted:


    "Those emails aren''t called insults, OK? That''s called satire!"


    Roan waved his hand: "A program like ''Saturday Night Live'' should be called satirical art, and yours is pure insult and threat."


    Lindlow was furious: "You"


    "Don''t shout so loudly, Lindlow."


    As soon as the other party started talking, Roan stretched out his little finger and dug his ears, and said with a smile:


    "The doctor said that your chest injury is serious, and you keep yelling like this. You may have internal bleeding later."


    ��.��


    Hearing this, Lindro''s face flushed instantly, and his lungs were about to explode.


    Sonof, than eat!


    Why does my chest hurt? It''s not because of you!


    "Okay, Lindlow."


    Drank the coffee on the table in one gulp, Roan''s face became serious instantly, crossed his hands in front of him, and said in a cold voice:


    "Now, we found the bomb, the mail, and two key pieces of evidence with you.


    If you still insist that this bombing has nothing to do with you, then give us a reason to convince us!


    Otherwise, when you go to court, do you think the jury will believe you? "


    "I"


    Hearing this, Lindrow, who had been in prison for a period of time before, turned dark instantly.


    The interrogation room was quiet for a moment. Seeing Lindro lowering his head, his face turned red and then pale but he just didn''t speak. Roan slapped the table for the last time and said softly:


    "Congratulations, Lindlow, this is first-degree murder.


    I wish you the best of luck in the rest of your life in prison. "


    "No!"


    Seeing that Roan and Mona got up and were about to leave the interrogation room, Lindro cursed a few times in a low voice, and finally said in a low voice:


    "I have evidence, I know who did it!"


    Hearing Lindro''s words, the corners of Roan''s mouth curled slightly, and Mona also showed a smile in her eyes, and at the same time gave Roan a thumbs up in a direction that Lindro could not see.

 Chapter 138： Prison Enlightenment

    Chapter 138 Prison Enlightenment


    Investigation team No. 5, interrogation room.


    "Zem-Matei is a **** raised by a standard!"


    Licked some dry lips, Lindro gritted his teeth and said:


    "A few years ago, my own brother Paignton didn''t commit a crime at all, but he was sentenced to ten years in prison because of this guy! That''s why I send greetings to him every day after I get out of prison!"


    Hearing this, Roan frowned, and tilted his head to look at Mona beside him.


    Mona flicked her ten fingers on the keyboard of the laptop, and soon brought up a **** case.


    The general content of the case is ''Paignton was sentenced to ten years in prison for rape''.


    Judging from the details in the file, this case is very simple, there are three witnesses.


    Member Ma Tai was the prosecutor in this case.


    Seeing this, Roan raised his head and asked in doubt:


    "Is there anything inside the case?"


    "Of course!"


    Lindro nodded heavily, and said angrily:


    "After a certain court trial, I found a surveillance video that confirmed that Paignton was not at the scene of the crime at the time. This surveillance video can completely prove Paignton''s innocence!


    But after I handed in this surveillance video, I found that Paignton was still sentenced to ten years in prison!


    I asked the lawyer afterwards, and the lawyer told me that Zem-Matai thought the surveillance video would complicate things, so he destroyed the surveillance video until he threatened the lawyer with a gun. "


    Speaking of this, Lindro''s eyes were red, his face was full of anger, and he smashed the table in front of him angrily.


    It was because of this incident that Lindrow was accused of assaulting others with a deadly weapon and was eventually sent to the prison on Rikers Island.


    And his brother Paignton died in prison due to some accidents, and did not last until the end of his sentence.


    After being released from prison, Lindro wanted to avenge his brother.


    But the first problem he faced was lack of money.


    After thinking for a long time, Lindro decided to use the technology he learned in prison to make bombs.


    Then sell those bombs to other criminals and make money from those people.


    After a period of time, Lindero received orders from various forces or talents in the New York underground because of the rich types of bombs produced, many options, strong power, and affordable prices, and he was busy every day without touching the ground.


    ��.��


    After listening to Lindro''s narration, the corner of Mona''s mouth twitched, and Roan was speechless.


    After a moment of silence, Roan decided to go back and ask Lindro to write down the list of people who bought the bomb, to see if he could get any unexpected gains.


    With a light cough, Roan continued to ask:


    "Just now you learned the technique of making bombs from the prison, so you mean that the bombing was done by that person in the prison?"


    "That''s right, it''s him!"


    Lindro nodded heavily, his face solemn:


    "Even if it wasn''t him, it would definitely have something to do with him.


    Because of this guy, every time the prison goes out for a briefing, he likes to explain the bomb-related knowledge to interested inmates for free.


    The bombs I made were secondary processing and improvements based on his knowledge. "


    Hearing this, Roan was full of emotion.


    Sure enough, the prison is the real talent exchange center.


    "What''s that guy''s name?"


    "Brent Harry."


    ��


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    Mona tapped on the keyboard with ten fingers, while Roan sat at his desk, shaking the chair and turning in circles:


    "The investigation report of the trace inspection department shows that the bomb that appeared at the press conference was made of the same material as the bomb we found in the Lindro factory building, but the battery used is different."


    "Exactly."


    William next to him came over and said with a smile:


    "The battery used in the bomb at the press conference was a lithium battery, which Lindero did not use in making the bomb.


    The bomb made by Brent Harry used a lithium battery. "


    "Not only that, I just checked Brent-Harry''s case file."


    Lacey came over with a folder, handed it to Roan, and said with a smile:


    "Some details in it show that the bomb that appeared at the press conference, the maker''s technique and characteristics are almost 90% similar to Brent Harry.


    The similarity with Lindrow''s technique is less than 20%. "


    After a long period of bomb making, Lindrow has escaped from the barriers of Brent''s knowledge and experience, kept pace with the times, and summed up his own techniques and experience.


    Looking down at the folder, Roan looked up and said with a smile:


    "It seems that the information given by Lindrow is very useful. This case is indeed related to Butren-Harry."


    "OK!"


    At this moment, Mona stopped typing on the keyboard, turned her head and smiled at Roan:


    "I have communicated with Riker Island Prison, and now I can go to interrogate Brent Harry."


    "Good."


    Roan nodded in satisfaction, and immediately took Lacey to the equipment warehouse, then left the No. 5 investigation team and went to the parking lot downstairs.


    ��


    Ryker Island Prison, a certain room.


    Roan and Lacey waited for a while, and the sturdy prison guards sent in a middle-aged white man with a thin body and a long beard.


    After entering the room, Brent-Harry looked at Roan and Lacey, sat on the chair opposite the two nonchalantly, and asked:


    "Good afternoon, two FBI agents, I don''t know what you are looking for me for?"


    No nonsense, Roan said directly:


    "We''re investigating a bombing."


    "Wow."


    Brent Harry heard this, shrugged, and smiled:


    "What does this have to do with me? I definitely have a perfect alibi for the bomb attack you mentioned."


    Roan nodded: "But the problem is, this bomb has the characteristics of your technique."


    Brent Harry raised his eyebrows when he heard this:


    "Although I am proficient in bombs, I have been staying here all the time. It is impossible to go out and detonate the bombs. You are definitely looking for the wrong person."


    Lacey next to him continued to ask:


    "Then who have you taught? Who have learned your bomb making technology?"


    Brent Harry shook his head:


    "NO, I never taught anyone."


    "Harry, don''t tell such an instant lie."


    Hearing this, Roan crossed his hands in front of him, smiled lightly and said:


    "We came to you today, which means we have found evidence related to you. In this case, do you think we will let you go?"


    "Then what can you do?"


    Brent Harry''s face is full of disdain:


    "I have been sentenced to life imprisonment, how else can you torment me?"


    Lacey narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard the words, and the smile on Roan''s face began to overflow. He likes this kind of hard-talking people:


    "We can move you to another prison."


    Hearing this, the expression on Brent Harry''s face suddenly froze.


    "Like ADX federal prison in Colorado."


    Roan looked at Brent Harry carefully, and said:


    "You should have heard of it, if not, let me introduce it to you:


    The prisoners there can only go out of the cell to look at the sun for 9 hours a week, and the rest of the time can only stay in the dark cell..."


    Brent - Harry scowled, eyes full of anger.


    Roan pretended not to see it, spread his hands, grinned and said:


    "Would you like to give it a try?"


    "Fu-k!"


    Hearing this, Brent-Harry finally couldn''t bear it anymore, he slapped the table heavily with his face flushed, and stood up abruptly:


    "You think such words can scare me?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 139： Roann Greenwood: Roann Garcia?

    Chapter 139 Roan Greenwood: Roan Garcia?


    Hearing Brent Harry''s words, Lacey''s face was gloomy, but Roan''s face remained unchanged, and his smile remained the same.


    The next second, Brent Harry stretched out his hand towards the two and said loudly:


    "Bring me the pen and paper, and I''ll make a list for you right now."


    Lacey: "."


    Roan: "GoodBoy."


    ��


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    Lacey handed the papers filled with the names of the characters one by one to William and the technicians of the No. 5 investigation team. Roan stood at the front of the office area and said loudly:


    "Everyone! These people are the list of people who have learned his bomb-making technology written by Brent Harry.


    Our next task is to find the most suspicious person among these people! "


    "OK!"


    "no problem!"


    Although the corners of their mouths twitched when they saw a lot of names on the paper, all the technical agents of the No. 5 investigation team nodded in unison.


    "Of course, these people don''t need to investigate all of them."


    Walked to his workstation, took a sip of coffee, Roan grinned and said:


    "Some people on this list have left New York, you just need to check their current address and whether they have been to New York recently.


    We mainly search for those who live in New York now, whose economic situation is not very good, and who have recently been to the Jacobs FBI, or who may have had contact with Ancona! "


    Hearing Luo An''s words, all the technicians of the No. 5 investigation team nodded in unison, and then sat in front of the computer and began to type on the keyboard of the computer.


    Mona was also sitting on the workstation with her fingers flying. After seeing Roan sitting back on his workstation, she tilted her head and asked in doubt:


    "Why are there so many people? Didn''t Brent Harry rule out some people?"


    "This is the list of people left after he excluded some people."


    Hearing what Mona said, Roan was also very helpless.


    Looking at Lacey, Lacey took out five pieces of paper with names written on them from behind her buttocks, and her cheeks twitched:


    ��Since he entered the prison, Brent Harry has been exchanging the knowledge of bombs for money and supplies. According to him, it has been 8 years since he entered the prison. These people are very few.��


    Since learning that he was sentenced to life imprisonment by a judge without commutation, Brent Harry has tried his best to find ways to improve his quality of life in prison.


    To this end, Brent-Harry also summed up a set of methods.


    That is to take advantage of the time of the wind, to teach theoretical knowledge to those who want to learn bomb-making technology outside for free.


    After arousing the interest of those people, if they want to learn specific practical courses, they have to pay Brent-Harry money or items.


    Brent-Harry will only teach those people the complete knowledge after getting the tuition.


    Mona: "."


    Roan was also speechless. According to Brent Harry, this method was taught to him by a criminal who was caught for financial fraud.


    ��


    After a long time, a technical agent of the No. 5 investigation team suddenly exclaimed:


    "Everyone! I found two pieces of monitoring!"


    Luo An heard the words and hurried over.


    The location of the first surveillance video in the computer was five blocks away from the park where Ancona worked part-time, and it was 9 days ago.


    In the picture, a tall white man was standing at the corner of the street. After Ancona came over, the two kissed for a few seconds, and then the white man took out a small item that could not be clearly seen from his arms and stuffed it into Ancona''s arms .


    The second surveillance video is from this street corner, and it was also 9 days ago. It shows the white man driving a car into the parking lot not far from the street corner.


    And that car is exactly the same as the car that killed Ancona.


    Looking at the scene on the computer, Roan frowned, tilted his head and asked:


    "Who is this man?"


    Standing beside Roan, Mona, who also watched the video, replied in a strange tone:


    "His name is Roan Garcia, and his name is on Brent Harry''s list."


    "?"


    Luo An was taken aback when he heard the words.


    With a light cough, Mona put away the expression on her face and continued to explain:


    "Roan Garcia, 39 years old this year.


    A former Marine Corps member, two years ago, he was arrested by the New York Branch of the ATF (Federal Gun Administration) for violating the Federal Arms Regulations.


    Recently, ATF is investigating another case about him.


    The location of the two surveillance videos is not far from Roan Garcia��s rented house, but he has already moved out of the house yesterday, so we don��t know where he is now. "


    "Please call this person Garcia next, thank you."


    Roan made a small request, then tilted his head and said in doubt:


    "As far as I know, the sentences for this crime are generally severe. Why isn''t he locked up?"


    According to normal circumstances, Garcia would be sentenced to at least five years in prison for violating the Federal Arms Regulations.


    William on the side frowned, and replied:


    "The system showed that Garcia was arrested and convicted, but the case was overturned during the appeal process."


    "OK."


    Roan nodded and continued to ask: "Does he have any relationship with Congressman Matai?"


    "We can''t find out."


    Hearing Roan''s question, William shook his head and showed Roan the computer page, with a big red box on it:


    "The system denies me access because for some reason, it has been set up for access only to the person in charge of the case, whose name is Sanchez."


    Mona on the side saw this, with a smile on her face, eager to try:


    "Roan, do you want me to hack into the ATF system?"


    "Forehead"


    Roan tilted his head and thought about it. Just as he was about to say something, Augustus''s loud voice suddenly came from behind him:


    "Roan, come here!"


    "Okay, sir."


    Give Mona a look, telling her not to rush to invade, and wait until she comes back, then turn around and walk into the team leader''s office.


    "I have a call for you."


    After entering the team leader''s office, Augustus didn''t talk nonsense, and directly handed his mobile phone to Roan, and then continued to be busy with the case report on the desk.


    Roan answered the phone and found that it was the special agent supervisor Corbett, and hurriedly said:


    "Good afternoon, sir, this is Roan."


    Corbett, who was lying in the hospital, was watching TV.


    On the TV, the deputy director of the FBI New York branch was interviewed by a CNN reporter because of the bombing.


    Originally, he should be responsible for this job, but now that he is injured and hospitalized, it is not appropriate for the director to come forward directly, so the deputy director can only deal with the reporter''s interview.


    Seeing the displeasure in the deputy director''s eyes on TV, Corbett frowned.


    There were still nine months before he could be promoted to the Washington headquarters, but now such a big case has happened, and Vernis is still hospitalized...


    Thinking of Mr. Clement in Washington again, Corbett''s head hurts even more.


    Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Corbett put away the messy thoughts in his mind, and said softly:


    "Thank you for your hard work, Roan, how is this case going now?"


    Corbert made this call, on the one hand, to inquire about the investigation of the case, and on the other hand, Corbett regretted it a little now.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 140： Corbett blushed

    Chapter 140 Corbett blushes


    After handing over the case to the No. 5 investigation team that day, when he was sleeping at night, Cobot suddenly woke up:


    He can definitely temporarily select elites from various investigation teams and let them solve this case together.


    Although Vernis mentioned Roan of the No. 5 investigation team in front of Corbett many times before, she also showed Roan''s case files many times.


    But Corbett still has some doubts.


    Thinking about the arrogance of the murderer behind this case and the complicated means of committing the crime. Corbett thought for a long time, and finally decided to make this call.


    He thinks that Roan should not be able to find the murderer so quickly, at most, he has found a few clues and is ready to pursue it.


    "If the No. 5 investigation team has not found any clues yet,"


    Lying on the hospital bed, Corbett thought:


    "I can take this case back, and then select the elites of each investigation team to solve the case together."


    Of course, even if the No. 5 investigation team really didn''t find any useful clues, Corbett wouldn''t be angry.


    Finding clues and solving cases is already difficult, not to mention that Luo An is still so young, and the case has been handed over to the No. 5 investigation team for such a short time.


    Corbert intends to let Roan join the elite investigation team after getting the case back, hoping that Roan can learn from the experience of other seniors.


    Thinking of this, Corbett, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked at the TV in front of him and asked on the phone:


    "Thank you for your hard work, Roan, how is the investigation of this case going?"


    In the office of the leader of the No. 5 investigation team, upon hearing Corbett''s question, Roan frowned, and replied neither humble nor overbearing:


    "Sir, we have found the key person in this case, and he has a high probability of being the real culprit in this case!"


    "cough cough cough"


    Hearing the words from the phone, Corbett, who was about to talk about the transfer of the case, was choked by saliva and his face turned red.


    After coughing for a while, Corbett asked with a serious face:


    "You mean, you have found the murderer?"


    "No, sir, we have found a guy who is suspected of committing a major crime."


    In the team leader''s office, after hearing what Corbett said, Roan shook his head again and again.


    Before the person is caught, he will never say something with 100% certainty, that is digging a hole for himself.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan briefed Corbett on the phone about all the clues found by the No. 5 investigation team, as well as the fact that Roan Garcia murdered and silenced him, and also learned bomb-making techniques.


    In the distant hospital, Corbett sat up straight on the hospital bed, and then fell silent.


    Corbett spent a long time in the position of team leader when he was young, and he has enough analysis and judgment ability for the clues of the case.


    So after listening to Roan''s words, he also immediately judged that Garcia was a serious suspect.


    Immediately afterwards, the expression on Corbett''s face became complicated.


    He never expected that Luo An actually led the No. 5 investigation team to find important clues in such a short period of time.


    Hearing that there was no sound on the other end of the phone, Roan tilted his head and continued after a moment of silence:


    "Sir, the biggest problem we have now is that we can''t find Garcia.


    ATF (Federal Gun Administration) has a case related to Garcia, they probably know where Garcia is hiding, but that case is set with access rights, we can''t view it��


    Roan''s investigation of the case was so fast, which shocked Corbett.


    Now that Roan and the others have encountered difficulties, Corbett did not hesitate, and immediately said firmly and loudly:


    "I will deal with this matter, and I will immediately ask the person in charge of the case at the ATF to bring the file to you!"


    Don''t say that the other party is ATF, even if Roan now says that the other party is the CIA, NSA, or even the military, Corbett will call directly to ask for the file.


    "Okay, thank you sir."


    As soon as Roan finished speaking, Corbett called the ATF senior management.


    After a while, the ATF executives nodded in agreement.


    Hung up the phone, Corbett looked down at the phone, and then at the deputy director who was being interviewed on TV. The smile on his face became wider and wider, and finally even the back molars were exposed:


    "Roann Greenwood, nice! I love this guy! He''s a natural for this job!"


    After a moment of contemplation, Corbett suddenly remembered something.


    He decided to surprise Roan after the case was resolved.


    ��


    Half an hour later, in the meeting room of the investigation team No. 5.


    "Both, Garcia is no small character."


    Sanchez, the case leader from ATF, clutching a document in his hand, sat opposite Roan and Mona and said with a serious face:


    "Several assassinations in South America, it is said that Garcia is behind the scenes."


    Hearing this, Roan frowned: "Is this the case you are hiding?"


    "This is just one of them."


    Recalling the orders given to him by his superiors before he came here, Sanchez sighed, put the documents in his hand on the table and pushed them in front of Roan, and then said with a serious face:


    ��Garcia has a friend + associate named Sean McCain.


    McCain has a private gun club in Brooklyn.


    In the past two years, the number of black guns in the New York area has skyrocketed. We suspect that this is related to McCain.


    And Garcia often goes to that club, we set the authority on the Garcia case in order to investigate McCain. "


    "OK."


    After simply flipping through the folder, Roan continued to ask:


    "Does Garcia still go there often?"


    Sanchez nodded: "Two days ago, he just visited."


    Throwing the folder aside, Roan got up from the chair and asked:


    "Where is the address?"


    After determining that Garcia was a major suspect, the No. 5 investigation team distributed his information and photos to all parts of the Federation to monitor the border and flight lists.


    But no clues were found.


    Now that he finally found out the clues of the private gun club, Roan decided to send someone to guard there, and as soon as Garcia appeared, he would be arrested immediately.


    After letting Sanchez lead Lacey and Ryder to the location of the private gun club, Roan sat back at his desk and began to carefully examine Garcia''s files.


    If the ATF information is correct, Roan doesn''t quite understand why Garcia, a killer who mainly operates in South America, uses a bomb to kill Congressman Mattei in the FBI building.


    This kind of behavior will only attract more attention to Garcia.


    Time passed for a long time, and soon it was time to get off work.


    There was no news of Garcia''s appearance from the private gun club, and Lacey and Ryder were still squatting, so the No. 5 investigation team could only temporarily work overtime today.


    Mona took two burgers from Augustus, kept one for herself, and handed the other to Roan, who was sitting motionless on a chair and still looking at the files.


    "It''s time for dinner, Roan, the extra-thick hamburger that August specially bought."


    "Thanks."


    After taking the burger, Roan was just about to stuff it into his mouth, but he suddenly saw a piece of information in Garcia''s file.


    Throwing the hamburger aside casually, Roan carefully read the sentences in the information, then frowned, and hurriedly called up a few video surveillance.


    After carefully checking the monitoring several times, and confirming again and again that the content in the data is correct, Luo An suddenly cursed:


    "Sonof than eat!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 141： The truth of the case

    Chapter 141 The truth of the case


    "What''s the matter, Roan?"


    Hearing Roan spit out greetings one after another, Mona hurriedly turned around and asked:


    "what have you found?"


    "Shit!"


    Seeing that the eyes of the agents of the No. 5 investigation team were all turned to him, Luo An pointed directly at the information in the computer and said:


    "Garcia''s target is not Congressman Matai at all!"


    The technicians of the No. 5 investigation team heard the words, all of them were stunned, and William hurriedly asked:


    "Then who is Garcia''s target?"


    Roan was just about to answer, when Mona on the side suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed:


    "Could it be the team leader, Vernis?"


    "What?"


    "How can this be?"


    "Did you guess wrong?"


    Hearing Mona''s words, all the agents had incredible expressions on their faces, and then Qiqi turned their eyes to Roan.


    Luo An''s face was very gloomy, he nodded heavily and said:


    "That''s right, Garcia''s real goal is Vernis!"


    No nonsense, Luo An directly called up the monitor in the computer and showed it to everyone.


    The monitoring location is on the first floor of the Jacob Federal Building, and the target is facing the security check position at the entrance of the first floor, and the time is from one month to three days ago.


    In the surveillance footage these days, Ancona entered the Jacobs Federal Building with a paper bag containing donuts every morning.


    Before entering the security check area, Ancona will distribute the donuts to several security check personnel on the first floor.


    Several security personnel took the donuts with a smile, checked the other items that Ancona brought, and waved their hands to let Ancona enter the building.


    The paper bag containing the donuts successfully bypassed the security inspection machine and the detectors in the hands of the security inspection personnel, and successfully sneaked into the building without inspection.


    In one of the surveillance videos, it was shown that Ancona was sorting out the paper bag that entered the building without going through the security check, and accidentally dropped a few yellow wires.


    But Ancona picked it up quickly with a calm face, without attracting the attention of others.


    Seeing this scene, the faces of the agents of the No. 5 investigation team were very ugly. William cursed a few words in a low voice, and Mona suddenly said:


    "In this way, Ancona brought the various parts of the remote-controlled bomb into the federal building little by little."


    "Exactly."


    Looking at the security inspectors smiling and eating donuts in the surveillance, Roan sighed speechlessly.


    What you think of as a business war: intrigue, strategizing, and money betting.


    Actual business war: The chairman personally went off to secretly take pictures, hired someone to unplug the network cable of the rival company, and poison the competitor.


    The way Ancona brought the bomb into the building this time is also so unpretentious.


    Mona was silent for a moment, then tilted her head to look at Roan:


    "Because Ancona started bringing donuts a month ago, that''s why you judged that Garcia''s target was Vernis, right?"


    A month ago, Congressman Matai didn''t know where he was, and no one could predict that he would attend this press conference.


    So Ancona brought the bomb into the building, and the target can only be Vernis who has held many press conferences.


    "More than that."


    Roan nodded, then turned off the surveillance video in the computer, and showed Garcia''s information to everyone:


    "Garcia was in prison for violating the arms regulations.


    Prison house records show that he was detained in the same area as Brent Harry at that time, so he most likely learned bomb-making technology at that time. "


    "Yeah."


    "Exactly."


    All the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team nodded in unison. This is their consensus.


    Roan then turned the information in his hand to another page, and continued:


    ��Everyone knows that prisoners like Garcia waiting for trial will be assigned some work for punishment when they are in custody.


    I checked Garcia''s work tasks and found that during his detention, he initially worked in the church, such as cleaning up garbage and tidying the lawn.


    But then, Garcia was sent to clean the floors of the separate senior prison. "


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Hearing what Roan said, all the technical agents looked puzzled, William was at a loss, and Mona asked directly:


    "Roan, what exactly do you want to say?"


    "What I want to say is"


    Turning around and calling out the page in the computer, Roan pointed to the profile picture of the person in the prison information, and said with a gloomy face:


    "This guy who lives in a high-end prison is probably the real mastermind behind this case!"


    "Frederick Antonio"


    Seeing the names and information of the characters in the computer, many agents of the No. 5 investigation team showed doubts.


    After thinking for a few seconds, Mona suddenly showed panic, and her hairs stood on end:


    "Damn it! It''s him!"


    ��


    Ryker Island Prison, a certain room.


    At this time, not only Roan and Mona came here, but also Augustus with a big belly and a dark face.


    The reason for Augustus''s ugly face has nothing to do with Roan and Mona, but because of the brown-skinned young man in front of him wearing a prison uniform, with red eyes and a cold face.


    "Frederick Antonio."


    Mona stood outside the room and waited, while Roan and Augustus sat opposite Antonio.


    No nonsense, Augustus asked directly in a cold voice:


    "You know why we''re here."


    "certainly."


    Antonio''s voice was a little hoarse, and a faint smile appeared on his face when he heard what Augustus said:


    "Is Vernis okay?"


    Augus was expressionless, Antonio saw this, and slowly shifted his gaze to Roan, continued to smile and said:


    "I heard from the grapevine that she was injured and hospitalized."


    "Your gossip is not very accurate."


    Hearing Antonio''s words, Roan was speechless, shaking his head and laughing:


    "Verinis was only slightly injured and went to the hospital to bandage the wound. Why did she become hospitalized when she came to you?"


    Antonio heard the words, the smile on his face froze slightly, and then continued to ask with a smile:


    "Mr. Detective, what''s your name?"


    "It doesn''t matter what my name is."


    Roan waved his hand, took out a folder from his pocket, and read:


    "Frederick Antonio, 29, was arrested and sentenced to life in prison for mass dumping of flour into New York.


    Father''s name is Ermenegildo Antonio, a well-known drug lord in a South American country, who died of myocardial infarction a few years ago.


    After his death, his wife and two young sons were beheaded by his subordinates, and their bodies were hung on the bridge for public display.��


    That��s right, this Frederick Antonio is the son of the big drug lord captured by the former No. 5 investigation team (Chapter 109)


    It was for the safety of the people in the former No. 5 investigation team that Verinisi disbanded the former No. 5 investigation team and dispersed them to other departments.


    But what everyone didn''t expect was that after learning that his father, mother and brother had all died, Frederick Antonio in the prison actually set the target of revenge on Vernis.


    This bombing case was an explosive revenge case created by Frederick Antonio, who bought Garcia with money while Garcia was cleaning the floor of a separate high-end prison!


    Hearing what Roan read out, the smile on Frederick Antonio''s face slowly disappeared.


    Hearing the part about his mother and younger brother, Frederick Antonio suddenly became murderous, and roared with a hideous face:


    "Damn FBI agent! I will find someone to kill your whole family! Definitely!"

 Chapter 142： seduce prison guards

    Chapter 142 Seduce the Prison Guard


    Ryker Island Prison, in a certain room.


    After listening to Roan''s words, Frederick Antonio''s eyes were red, and the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.


    Augus on the side took a deep breath and asked with a gloomy face:


    "Antonio, where is that Garcia guy now?"


    "Do you think I''ll tell you?"


    Hearing what Augustus said, Antonio immediately sneered.


    Then he raised his legs, his face was full of solemnity, and his eyes were fixed on Augustus''s **** face:


    "And even if you capture Garcia, I will continue to find other people to complete this work until Vernis and those people are completely dead."


    Speaking of this, Antonio turned his gaze to Roan, who was aside, and continued to say coldly:


    "By the way, there is also Ni.


    Tell you a lucky news, you will definitely die in my hands. "


    Hearing this, Roan''s eyes showed a gleam of coldness, then the corners of his mouth rose, and he silently sentenced the guy in front of him to death.


    Seeing the smile on Roan''s face, Antonio''s eyes became even colder.


    Immediately afterwards, he patted his pants, stood up, looked down at Roan and Augustus and said:


    "Okay, two, if I''m not wrong, you should have sent someone to search my room.


    Can I go back now? "


    Taking two deep breaths, Augustus stood up with a gloomy face.


    Give a glance to the prison guard at the side, and let the prison guard take Antonio away.


    and Roan exchanged glances, Augustus left the room through another door.


    Seeing the two of them coming out, Mona who was outside leaned over, raised the phone in her hand and shook it, her face was not very good-looking:


    "William and the others carefully checked Antonio''s room just now, but there was nothing but toiletries and blankets."


    "Yeah."


    Augus raised his hand and rubbed his temples, and said in a muffled voice:


    "Antonio knows we will come, so he must clean up the room before then."


    "But Antonio is connected to the outside world."


    Roan leaned on his chin, thought for a moment, raised his head and said:


    "The so-called gossip he said just now illustrates this point."


    Mona tilted her head in doubt when she heard the words:


    "Then how did Antonio do it?


    Are we going to investigate the prison guards who came into contact with Antonio next? "


    Hearing what Mona said, Augustus was just about to nod and agree, when Roan shook his head and said:


    "No, Antonio''s way of contacting the outside world is most likely not a prison guard."


    After all, Antonio is a criminal who has been sentenced to life imprisonment. Most of the time, American prison guards choose to sit idly by and watch this kind of person.


    Especially Antonio is a man.


    If he was a woman, he might be able to seduce the guards.


    Hey, wait, men seem to be able to seduce male prison guards too...


    Seeing the puzzled eyes of Mona and Augustus, Roan shook his head hastily, then grinned and asked:


    "Remember how Antonio contacted Garcia?"


    Augus suddenly realized, and Mona also clapped her hands to understand:


    "Garcia came to the high-level prison to clean the floor!"


    ��


    Ten minutes later, a burly white man in an orange-red prison uniform was brought in front of Roan, Augustus and the others.


    The burly white man''s name is Barton, and he has been cleaning the floor on Antonio''s floor recently.


    No nonsense, Augustus stared directly at Barton''s eyes, and said in a deep voice:


    "According to the information records in the prison, you are the only prisoner who can contact Antonio."


    "I just said it."


    Hearing what Augustus said, Barton shook his head again and again:


    "I only mop the floor when I come to this floor, and I never talk to the guys locked in the room."


    "Yeah?"


    Roan next to Augustus raised his head, shook the file in his hand, and said with a smile:


    "Barton, you were only imprisoned for injury after drinking, and the sentence was only two and a half years.


    Lying to the FBI is a felony. Do you really want to spend a few more years in prison for Antonio? "


    "I��"


    Seeing the information, Button''s mouth twitched.


    Augus raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and continued:


    "I have sent others to search your room.


    If you still don��t say anything now, but my people later search your room for things that don��t belong to this prison����


    Barton''s face was extremely ugly when he heard this.


    Silent for a while, he took a deep breath, fixed his eyes on Roan and Augustus, and whispered:


    "OK, I can tell you everything.


    But I also have a condition, that is, you must transfer me out of this prison! "


    "no problem!"


    Augus nodded decisively and agreed.


    It''s just a small thing for them.


    After receiving an affirmative answer, Barton let out a long breath and explained everything:


    "Antonio has a cell phone and it''s stashing in my place right now."


    ��


    At 10:30 p.m., in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    He raised his head and took a sip of the coffee. The bitterness made Roan''s face ghastly, but his state suddenly revived.


    Bite the big new burger that Augustus bought, Roan tilted his head to look at Mona and William who were busy, and asked:


    "How about it, did you find any clues from that phone?"


    "Found it, but not quite."


    William nodded and shook his head, showed the information on the computer to Roan, took a bite of a new hamburger, and said vaguely:


    "This mobile phone has contacted a number many times recently. Before and after the bombing, the number of contact was more, so we can judge that the other end of the phone is Garcia.


    Several of us looked up the recent call records of that phone number. According to the signal base station positioning technology, we successfully found the approximate location of the other party, which is in Brooklyn. "


    The reason why it is said to be an approximate location is because the current signal base station positioning technology has a very large error, which is a full two miles.


    Hearing what William said, Roan frowned.


    The good news is that Garcia hasn''t left New York yet.


    The bad news is that the coverage area of ??two miles is too large, who knows where Garcia is hiding now.


    At this moment, Mona''s excited voice suddenly sounded from the side:


    "Roan! I found Garcia!"


    Hearing this, Luo An suddenly cheered up, hurried to Mona''s side, and even picked up a hamburger and stuffed it to her.


    Mona grabbed the hamburger and stuffed it into her mouth, with five fingers flying on the keyboard, she continued:


    "The mobile phone you got sent a message with only numbers yesterday.


    I checked the string of numbers and found that it was a bank account, so I guessed that the money in that account was the remuneration Antonio paid to Garcia.


    Sure enough, not long ago, this bank account spent $800, and the address was in Brooklyn! "


    Seeing the surveillance video on Mona''s computer, Garcia, who simply disguised his appearance, took two white women into the small hotel on the street after withdrawing the money, Roan suddenly showed a smile on his face:


    "William, contact SWAT! Let''s go **** tonight!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 143： flamboyant

    Chapter 143 Dragon Flying Phoenix Dance


    At eleven forty-five in the evening, in Brooklyn, a "Mrs. Mitter Hotel" on a certain street.


    Even if he came out to play games with two white girls, Garcia was very cautious.


    The "Mrs. Mitt Hotel" he chose was located on the corner of the street, with a wide view, and it was convenient to run away in case of emergencies.


    At this moment, several dark SUVs slowly approached from a distance.


    In order not to startle the enemy, Roan did not let the SWAT team members park them directly downstairs of the hotel, but parked them at the corner of the street some distance away from the hotel.


    This location happens to be the blind spot of Mrs. Mitt Hotel.


    The heavily armed agents opened the door and got out of the car. Roan, who had carefully observed the surroundings of the hotel beforehand, turned his head and said to Ryder with a solemn expression:


    "In case of an emergency, there are two routes that can safely leave the hotel as quickly as possible. They are the small alley on the east side of the hotel and the protruding balcony of each room.


    Sanchez of the ATF has said that several cases in South America are related to Garcia.


    So I need you to lead the SWAT team to guard these two escape routes. When you wait for the specific action, you must not let Garcia escape. "


    "OK."


    Hearing Roan''s words, although Ryder''s face was solemn, he nodded decisively and agreed.


    Immediately afterwards, Ryder waved his hand backwards, directly leading the two teams of SWAT players to the position Roan just mentioned, preparing to block the route.


    Looking at the backs of Ryder and others advancing rapidly, Roan nodded, then turned to look at Mona who was sitting on the co-pilot of the SUV, typing on the keyboard of the laptop without getting out of the car, and asked directly:


    "Which room is Garcia in?"


    Hearing Roan''s question, Mona immediately replied:


    "The middle room on the second floor!"


    "OK."


    After a while, knowing that Ryder and others had successfully arrived at the designated location, Roan grinned, put on his helmet, opened the safety of Glock 18, and led two SWAT teams to rush towards Mrs. Mitt Hotel.


    A SWAT team member with an explosion-proof shield quietly opened the door of the hotel. Roan waved his hand to signal the beautiful white woman at the front desk to keep silent, and asked Mona to stay here to appease the front desk, and then everyone rushed to the second floor.


    In the middle room on the second floor, Roan and a group of SWAT players stood on the left and right sides of the door of the room. After looking at each other, Roan raised his finger and started the countdown.


    After the three numbers were over, the SWAT team member holding the explosion-proof shield did not hesitate, and immediately kicked open the door of this room.


    Boom! !


    Roan and a group of SWAT team members followed closely behind, shouting loudly:


    "FBI!"


    "Stay still! Hands up!"


    Before Roan and others rushed into the room, Garcia was flushing, flirting with two white girls.


    Suddenly heard the loud noise of the door of the room being knocked open, Garcia''s body trembled in fright, and he almost confessed all the accumulation of time.


    However, years of struggling on the line of life and death made Garcia react quickly.


    Garcia hurriedly grabbed the pistol that was lying on the bed, and then grabbed the white girl who was still playing with his specialties just now, and blocked her in front of him.


    "ah-"


    The two frightened girls sang soprano crazily.


    Among them, the reporter who was held hostage by Garcia shouted louder.


    "Shut up!"


    Snapped!


    Looking at the crowd of SWATs who filed in, Garcia slapped the girl who was held hostage by him severely, telling her not to shout anymore.


    Immediately afterwards, Garcia lowered his head severely behind the reporter''s back, held a pistol tightly against the reporter''s temple, and shouted loudly:


    "Exit this room immediately! Or I''ll shoot you!"


    Putting away another girl who was still sitting on the bed, naked and panicked, Roan asked the team behind her to take her to a safe place.


    Hearing Garcia''s words, the SWAT member holding the explosion-proof shield and rifle shouted loudly:


    "Let go of the woman in your arms, Garcia!


    You know, things don''t go your way! "


    "Shit!"


    Garcia, who was still naked, said with a sullen face:


    "Either I go or she dies!"


    Hearing this, the abducted girl was terrified, and her body trembled even more.


    "Garcia, look at the woman held hostage by you, how scared is she?"


    After confirming that the reporter was okay, Roan, who was holding a Glock 18, turned back and said loudly:


    "You need a more valuable hostage!


    How about changing me? I''ll be your hostage! "


    "No No No!"


    Garcia shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, and shouted loudly:


    "It''s impossible! Don''t even think about it!"


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, moved forward slowly, and continued:


    "Trust me, Garcia, only by replacing the hostage with me will you have a better chance of leaving here!"


    "No!"


    Seeing Roan start to move forward, Garcia''s face became even more flushed, and at the same time he shouted loudly:


    "Don''t go any further, if you go any further, I''ll drive..."


    boom! boom! boom!


    Before Garcia finished speaking, Roan''s eyes flashed, and before everyone could see clearly, he quickly moved to the side of the room, and then immediately aimed at Garcia''s right hand holding the gun, and decisively pulled the trigger of the Glock 18 .


    Three bullets hit Garcia''s right hand and right arm very accurately. Without support, the gun held by Garcia fell to the ground in an instant.


    Feeling the pain from his arm, Garcia, who only realized what Roan had done afterwards, was shocked and his eyes were full of disbelief.


    "Fu-k! Is this guy human?"


    Several SWAT players who saw this scene were also dumbfounded.


    In their eyes, Luo An was clearly in front of them one second, but in the next second, he teleported to their side.


    Not only that, Roan''s marksmanship is so accurate!


    Several SWAT players looked at Roan in shock.


    But now is not the time to worry about whether Roan is human or not. The next second, Garcia hastily pushed the girl in front of him, who was soaring again, towards Roan, and rushed towards the balcony next to him.


    Roan hugged the reporter who was pushed over, and at the moment Garcia ran to the balcony, Ryder, who had been waiting outside for a long time, and the SWAT team members in the room all pulled the trigger.


    bang bang bang bang��


    There was a fierce gunshot, and Garcia collapsed to the ground with blood all over his body.


    I don��t know whether it was intentional or not, but Garcia��s specialty was cut in two by a bullet...


    "Hiss��"


    Seeing this, Luo An immediately felt a chill in his crotch.


    Hastily turned his gaze, Roan turned and waved to the SWAT team members in the room and said:


    "Contact an ambulance immediately!"


    Roan doesn''t know if Garcia will survive, but an ambulance will still be called.


    After all, it is procedural justice with American characteristics.


    ��


    At the same time, the hospital in the distance.


    Corbett, who was wrapped in bandages, was sitting in a wheelchair, and next door was Vernis lying on a hospital bed.


    At this time, although they stayed in different rooms, they silently watched the boring TV program in front of them at the same time.


    But the two of them are not on the TV, they are waiting for the news of the operation tonight.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 144： Drowned in the toilet while taking a shower.

    Chapter 144 Drowned in the toilet while taking a shower.


    A distant hospital.


    Corbert was sitting in a wheelchair, watching the boring TV show in front of him, his lips were a little dry.


    After learning that Frederick Antonio was the real mastermind behind this case this afternoon, August immediately told Corbett and Vernis the news.


    At the same time, Corbett and Vernis also received related news about this evening''s operation.


    Knowing that it was Roan who led the operation tonight and arrested Garcia, Verinis was not very nervous.


    A small operation to arrest people, Vernis believed that Roan, who had never let her down, would not capsize in the gutter.


    Corbett is different.


    The speed with which Roan solved the case earlier really shocked Corbett. Later, when he re-read the file of Roan''s solution, the act of killing the murderer with a pen shocked Corbett again.


    But personal bravery and leading a team are two different things. Cobot has never seen the scene of Roan directing an action, and he is not sure whether Roan has enough on-site command ability.


    So at this time in two adjacent wards, Vernis, who was lying on the hospital bed, only felt a little anxious because of the long waiting time, but overall she was not nervous.


    Feeling that her lips were a little dry, she picked up a cup beside her and took a sip of water.


    Corbett had a serious face, and his dry lips were subconsciously ignored.


    The left arm was injured and was bandaged and unable to move. Corbett''s right thumb and index finger began to rub continuously.


    Time passed by, and just as Cobot got impatient and was about to transfer his wheelchair to go to the toilet, the cell phone in the room suddenly rang.


    Jingle Bell-


    Seeing this, Corbot immediately pressed the answer button.


    "Good evening, sir!"


    Augus�� iconic loud voice came from the other end of the phone, only to hear him laughing and saying loudly:


    "The operation tonight was a complete success. Garcia was successfully arrested and has now been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment."


    "Nice job!"


    Colbert let out a long breath when he heard the words.


    After listening to Augustus'' brief description of tonight''s action, Capote smiled even wider, and his evaluation and affirmation of Roan in his heart rose to another level.


    He finally understood why Vernis valued Roan so much.


    He has brains, means, high efficiency in solving crimes, and is also very powerful in shooting skills.


    And he looks handsome.


    If he hadn��t known that Roan was a member of Verinis, and that he would be promoted and transferred away soon, Corbett would already be thinking about how to transfer Roan to his subordinates.


    After praising and affirming Augustus, Roan and the agents of the No. 5 investigation team, Corbett called the deputy director of the FBI New York branch.


    The deputy director, who was sleeping, immediately recovered when he heard the news.


    After repeatedly confirming that the case had been solved, and that both the man behind the scenes and the actual operator had been caught, the deputy director raised his eyebrows and immediately decided to hold another press conference tomorrow.


    At the same time, the deputy director picked up his notebook and carefully wrote down the name Roan Greenwood.


    Hung up the phone, Corbett went to the bathroom with a smile on his face to resolve the internal conflict, and then lay back on the hospital bed.


    After a moment of silence, Corbett took out his mobile phone and called the white youth who had informed Roan and Augustus to come to see him:


    "Ike, go to the office tomorrow morning and give me that red folder in the corner of your desk."


    At the same time, next door, Roan also told Vernis the news of the success of the mission.


    "Thank you, Roan."


    After hearing the news, Vernis showed a faint smile on her face.


    She didn''t laugh too much, after all, the wound on her stomach hadn''t healed yet, and it was still hurting faintly at this moment.


    "It''s not hard, sir, this is what I should do."


    Roan on the other end of the phone grinned, and then briefly described what happened to Vernis tonight.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan put away the smile on his face, walked to the corner silently, and asked in a solemn whisper:


    "Sir, that Frederick Antonio, what are you going to do?"


    This guy only has the word revenge in his eyes now. If he can make one bombing, he can make a second bombing.


    And he threatened Roan not long ago to kill his whole family.


    Although it is a bit difficult to do this, Roan is alone now after all.


    "You don''t have to worry about this."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Vernis was silent for a moment, and said coldly:


    "Frederick Antonio will be sent to a correctional center."


    As the son of the big drug lord Ermenegildo Antonio, Frederick Antonio, who dumped a lot of flour to New York, has countless enemies in New York.


    Entering a correctional center that is heavily infiltrated by the New York gang, Frederick Antonio, who is full of enemies, will not survive long.


    In order to prevent the agents of the former No. 5 investigation team from being retaliated afterwards, Verinis dispersed those agents to other departments.


    But it never occurred to her that Vernis herself became the target of Frederick Antonio''s revenge.


    This time, the other side dared to plant a bomb in the Jacobs Federal Building, so what about next time?


    Unruly guards, greedy lawyers. Frederick Antonio always has a way of getting word out of prison.


    As for why not wait for the judge to sentence Frederick Antonio to death for this case and let the law end his life.


    The reason is simple. In the United States, criminals have the right to choose the jury system.


    Faced with the death penalty, the jury system requires 100% passing, so the mistrial rate is extremely high.


    And even if the death penalty can be imposed, the trial period in the United States is extremely long, and it is normal for the execution to be delayed for more than ten years or even decades.


    It really takes so long...


    After chatting briefly for a while, Verinisi hung up the phone before her health recovered.


    A few days later, Roan learned from William that not long after Frederick Antonio entered the correctional center, he accidentally drowned in the toilet while taking a shower...


    ��


    the next day.


    Because of working overtime last night to search for clues and arrest people, the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team came to work at 2:30 this afternoon.


    It was the same as the usual work process after the case was detected. After the detectives sat at their desks, some began to contact the court judge to determine the trial date, and some began to write the case report of the bombing case.


    In the TV hanging at the front of the office area, the press conference of the Deputy Director of the FBI New York Branch is being broadcast.


    Of course, before the press conference started, a lot of FBI agents carefully inspected the site where the press conference was held several times.


    The reporters and FBI agents who participated in this press conference also conducted a detailed inspection of their belongings.


    The highlight is a careful and safe.


    Sitting at the workstation, Roan��s posture is apparently watching a press conference on TV, but in fact he is checking the light blue system page in front of him.


    Yesterday''s experience, the evaluation of Luo An by the system is not surprising, it is still excellent.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan opened the treasure chest that he hadn''t had time to open last night.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 145： Bonuses and Event Funding

    Chapter 145 Bonuses and Event Funding


    After a rough page game treasure chest opening animation, two bottles of strength potion and one bottle of hemostatic potion were opened from the system treasure chest.


    At this time, there are 2 bottles of stamina potion, 2 bottles of antidote potion, 2 bottles of hemostatic potion, 4 bottles of strength potion, 1 bottle of swift potion, 1 bottle of weakness potion, 1 bottle of sleep potion, and 1 bottle of scuba in Luo An''s system warehouse bar. Potion and 1 bottle of Fire Resistance Potion.


    There were originally 9 bottles of stamina potions, but since it was confirmed that after drinking the potions, a small part of them would remain in his body permanently.


    Roan has now formed a good habit of pouring himself a bottle of stamina potion with his head raised after breakfast every day.


    Physical potion, physical fitness, multiple blessings, worth having.


    Putting two bottles of potions into the warehouse page of the system, Luo An was bored and was preparing to watch the press conference in front of him and see what words the deputy director used to praise the No. 5 investigation team in front of a large number of reporters.


    Augus suddenly had a big belly, and with a big grin, he pushed open the door and walked into the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Roan!"


    Augus waved his hand and shouted:


    "Come to my office!"


    "OK."


    In the team leader''s office, Roan sat down, and Augustus smiled and handed him a folder. Without nonsense, he said directly:


    "Congratulations, Roan, your bonus has doubled again, and it''s still tripled."


    Open the folder and see the notification that the prize of 1,500 US dollars has tripled and changed to 4,500 US dollars. Luo An suddenly grinned:


    "Thank you, sir."


    Seeing the smile on Roan''s face, Augustus was very moved.


    Although Augustus had previously worked in the Criminal Justice Department, this was his first time as the head of Investigation Unit Five.


    But before that, Augustus also had some information about the salaries and bonuses of FBI agents.


    After all, the Criminal Justice Department always has access to FBI insiders who commit crimes for money.


    Most of the FBI''s ordinary agents live on their monthly basic salary, and the number of bonuses they get is related to the number of cases they solve.


    Overall, not many.


    It was like when the No. 5 investigation team was first established, Lacey and Ryder had never seen a bonus at all.


    And Roan can not only get a bonus every month, but even double the bonus!


    Not only that, he looked down at another folder in his hand, which contained the notice that all members of the No. 5 investigation team will issue bonuses this month, and Augustus''s **** face suddenly showed a smile.


    This is an important reason why Augustus likes Roan more and more, and at the same time delegates power to Roan when solving the case.


    Roan can not only make money by himself, but also lead all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team to make money together!


    But the bonus is only one of the reasons for Augustus to smile. What really makes Augustus feel uplifted, happy and excited is another notification.


    After taking the folder that Augustus handed over, Roan opened it suspiciously, and saw that it read:


    The activity expenses of No. 5 investigation team will be increased by one-third on the original basis.


    Seeing this, Roan''s eyes lit up immediately, he looked up at Augustus, and asked:


    "Sir, this."


    "This is the notice just issued by the head of the special agent."


    Seeing Roan''s eyes, Augustus smiled and nodded, his back molars burst out with joy:


    "Corbert felt that our No. 5 investigation team was sparsely staffed and poorly equipped, so he specially approved a new fund for us!"


    That''s what they said, but the two people in the office could tell at a glance that the money was a reward specially issued by Corbett because Roan broke the bombing case in a short period of time.


    Thinking of this, Augustus looked at Roan with more and more satisfaction, and asked loudly:


    "Roan, do you think any equipment of our No. 5 investigation team is too old and needs to be replaced?"


    "certainly!"


    Hearing what Augustus said, Roan immediately nodded with a smile, and replied:


    "Coffee machine and coffee beans next to the office area"


    Every day is bitter coffee, Roan really doesn''t want to bear it anymore.


    Augustus waved his hand:


    "Change!"


    Roan''s eyes lit up, and he continued:


    "Our Chair"


    He just saw a comfortable-looking office chair a few days ago.


    Augus didn''t even blink:


    "Change!"


    Roan tilted his head and thought for a while:


    "Our computer?"


    The current computers of the No. 5 investigation team are all historical relics of the members of the No. 5 investigation team from the previous generation.


    Mona and the others don''t know if they can use these computers smoothly. Anyway, Roan feels that he is stuck when he wants to watch a movie or video.


    Augus was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth:


    "Change!"


    After all, changing the computer is to better solve the case. In the past, it was fine to replace the equipment without extra funds. Now that I have money, I don��t want to change it. It��s somewhat unreasonable.


    Roan thought about it again, and suddenly his eyes lit up:


    "The SUV of our investigation team?"


    The SUVs in the parking lot downstairs are also products left over from the No. 5 investigation team from the previous generation.


    Although there were no major problems, there were also many minor problems.


    And Roan felt that when driving these cars, the speed was still not fast enough, and he couldn''t reach the speed he wanted.


    Hearing this, Augustus was silent for a few seconds, and then said loudly:


    "Roan!"


    "What''s the matter, sir?"


    "go out!"


    ��.��


    Seeing the corner of Roan''s mouth twitch, Augustus was also speechless.


    This amount of money only increased by one-third of the original funding, and it didn''t directly double their funding.


    Smiling and putting the folder in his hand back on the desk, Roan was just about to turn around and leave the office, and then tell the news to everyone in the No. 5 investigation team. Augustus suddenly thought of something, slapped his head, and said:


    "Wait a minute, Roan."


    Roan turned around in doubt, only to see Augustus handing him another folder:


    "Remember that Ogden?"


    "certainly."


    Roan nodded, Ogden is the wanted bomber with a reward of 400,000 (Chapter 111).


    "He has been brought to court."


    After taking the folder, Augustus said directly:


    "The reward has also come down, and the $100,000 will be sent to your account before get off work tonight."


    Ogden was discovered and captured by Lacey after all, so Lacey will naturally take the big head.


    But the main clue was discovered by Roan, so Roan was allocated $100,000.


    "Thank you, sir."


    The corner of Roan''s mouth raised while holding the folder:


    "I will tell Lacey the news."


    Augus nodded, then waved his hand to indicate that Roan could go out.


    Backing to his workstation, Roan began to calculate his gains during this period.


    First is a base salary of $3,000, followed by a tripled bonus of $4,500.


    Immediately after the detection of serial bank robberies, the $400,000 thank you received, and the first month''s salary of the security consultant, $12,000.


    Finally, there is a $1 million reward for the CIA case.


    At the end of the calculation, there are a total of 1,419,500 US dollars.


    Looking at the string of numbers in his account, Roan had a smile on his face.


    Without hesitation, he drove his Chevrolet to Wall Street immediately after get off work.


    It is around 2005, and Roan remembers Apple at this time, and the stock price was only around $50.


    Thinking about how the stock price rose to 705.05 US dollars after Apple launched the iphone5 in later generations, Luo An''s eyes were full of light.


    Jingle Bell-


    Just then, the phone in his pocket rang suddenly.


    Roan picked up the phone and frowned, because the phone showed a number he had never seen before.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 146： The man with the water gun

    Chapter 146 The man playing with the water gun


    At an intersection some distance away from Wall Street, the Chevrolet slowly stopped on the side of the road.


    Looking at the unfamiliar number on the phone, Roan pressed the answer button.


    "It''s me, Roan."


    Hearing the familiar voice from the other end of the phone, Luo An raised his eyebrows.


    It turned out to be Vernis.


    "Good afternoon, sir."


    Although he was a little puzzled about why Verinis changed her phone number, Roan didn''t worry about it, but asked with a smile:


    "Are there any new tasks?"


    Verinis did not answer Roan''s question, but asked:


    "Where are you now?"


    "Forehead"


    Roan blinked and did not hide the itinerary from Vernis, saying that he was on his way to Wall Street.


    Knowing that Roan had something to do on Wall Street, Vernis on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and said softly:


    "Go and do your own business first, and then come to me after you finish your work. I have something to ask you."


    "Okay, sir."


    Although he was a little puzzled about what Verniss asked him to do at this time, Roan nodded and agreed.


    "Bye."


    Verinis on the other end of the phone didn''t talk nonsense, and hung up the phone immediately after speaking.


    Seeing this, Roan started Chevrolet again and went to Wall Street.


    Wall Street is in the southern part of Manhattan, New York, extending from Broadway to the East River.


    The streets here are too narrow, Roan parked the Chevrolet on the outside, and then walked slowly into the New York Stock Exchange.


    Roann Greenwood has worked on Wall Street before, and is familiar with opening accounts, buying stocks, buying and selling, and so on.


    What surprised Roan was that at this point in time, Apple''s stock price hadn''t risen to $50, but was instead $47.


    At this moment, Roan did not hesitate, and immediately exchanged the 1.2 million US dollars in his hand for Apple shares.


    After the transaction was completed, Roan looked at the information on the computer, and the smile on his face gradually became thicker:


    "The next step is to wait for Jobs to release new products."


    Thinking of the news about cutting out kidneys for mobile phones in later generations...


    Buying stocks can actually be done on the computer of the No. 5 investigation team.


    The reason why Luo An insisted on coming to Wall Street was more because he wanted to see the scenery of Wall Street.


    For example, the big copper bull.


    Looking at the memory of the predecessor, and seeing it with your own eyes, after all, there are two kinds of feelings.


    But after entering Wall Street, besides the tourists, many people left gave Roan a very uncomfortable feeling.


    The late sociologist and playwright Philip Slater coined the term "money addiction" in his 1980 book, and said in that book that 80% of people who work on Wall Street have it. symptoms.


    They are energetic, competitive, greedy, ambitious, possess wealth, and can see sums of money flowing in their hands every day.


    But at the same time, they are also under great pressure, abusing drugs and alcohol, and women are an indispensable tool for them to vent their pressure.


    The man playing with the water gun performed "The Wolf of Wall Street". After making money, everyone eats flour openly in the lobby of the office, takes off their pants and then has a party. In fact, all of them are based on real life


    ��


    Hospital.


    Roan, holding fruits and flowers in his arms, knocked lightly on the door of Verinisi''s ward.


    "Enter."


    Entering the ward, Roan immediately saw Vernis lying on the bed, watching TV news from boredom.


    Because of being injured and lying on the hospital bed, Vernis'' face was pale at this time, and she looked much thinner than before.


    Not only that, but the biggest difference from the past is actually Vernis''s temperament.


    On weekdays, Verinisi''s makeup is cold and her temperament is sharp. At first glance, she gives the impression that she is a strong woman who is not easy to mess with.


    At this time, Vernis was buried under the quilt, with a few thin hairs stuck to her forehead, coupled with her pale face, and her brows slightly frowned due to the pain of the wound, instantly gave Roan a sense of relief. There came a strange broken beauty.


    Shaking his head, putting away the messy thoughts in his heart, Luo An walked to the hospital bed with a smile on his face, and said:


    "Good evening, sir."


    "sit."


    Seeing the fruits and flowers that Roan brought, Verinisi felt a little happy in her heart, but at the same time felt a little helpless.


    Her biggest wound is on her abdomen. She cannot eat food in the near future, and can only drink a little water at most.


    Inserting the flowers into a vase beside him, Roan first helped Vernis fill up the water glass, then tilted his head and chatted with her.


    The two chatted not much, most of which were related to the case.


    There is no way, Roan only knows that Verinis is alone, without a boyfriend, and her daily life is a two-point line between the house and the work unit, and she doesn''t know what relatives and friends she has, let alone meet them.


    Besides the case, Roan really didn''t know what to talk about with Verinis.


    But Verinis is very happy about this, she prefers cases and work to the trivial gossip of life.


    During the chat, most of the time Roan was narrating, and Vernis was listening, and then occasionally asked one or two short questions.


    Hearing some wonderful points in the case, Verini Silue''s pale face slowly showed a smile, and she looked at Roan with a more inexplicable meaning.


    After a while, Roan saw that Verinisi''s spirit was a little weaker than when he first came, so he immediately changed the subject and asked with a smile:


    "Sir, you said earlier that you had something to ask me for, but you don''t know what it is?"


    Verinis smiled for a moment, then turned her gaze to the cabinet beside her, and said softly:


    "There''s a business card there, which was given to you by an officer from Washington.


    Put it away. If you encounter unsolvable problems in the future, call this number, and the other party may provide you with some help. "


    Seeing the phone number on the business card and the separate ''Clement'' surname, Roan frowned.


    He remembered Verenice''s last name, it seemed to be Clement.


    After the bombing, Mr. Clement in Washington received the news immediately.


    Knowing that Verenice''s life was not in danger, Clement heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately asked the secretary to bring the details of the case to his desk.


    But before Clement could check it out, the president in the White House called him over because of some things.


    In desperation, Clement had no choice but to put this aside in advance, and then went to meet the president.


    The matter on the President''s side involved multiple departments, with mixed interests and troublesome details. When Mr. Clement finally returned to his office, the case was over.


    Seeing the investigation process of the case written in the report sent by the secretary, as well as the name of Roan Greenwood, Clement sitting on the chair was shocked and had an extremely complicated expression.


    He opened his mouth several times but didn''t know what to say, and finally he only spit out one word:


    "Fu-k!"


    After a long silence, Clement signaled the secretary to go to Vernis''s ward. While visiting Vernis, he also handed his business card to Roan.


    The unfamiliar phone number just now was Verniss calling from her secretary''s cell phone.


    Put away the business card, chat with Verinis for a while, and Roan left the ward voluntarily.


    The next day, after talking to Augustus, Roan didn''t go to work directly, but went to the robbed banks first.


    Security consultants don''t get paid for nothing.

 Chapter 147： 【Park River Male Corpse Case】

    Chapter 147 [The case of the male corpse in the park and river]


    Seeing Roan walk out of the Chevrolet, the first bank to be robbed, Henry, the lobby manager, smiled and stretched out his hand to greet him.


    "Good morning, Mr. Detective."


    "Just call me Roan."


    After the two greeted each other for a while, Henry took Roan into the bank and showed off the newly installed monitoring and security facilities of their bank.


    After all the display, Henry asked with a smile:


    "Detective Luo An, do you have any suggestions for the construction of these new security facilities in our bank?"


    Roan heard the words, tilted his head and thought for a while, and replied:


    ��From a security standpoint, the devices do appear to be well protected.��


    Henry saw this, and just about to show a smile on his face, Roan immediately said:


    "But you have overlooked a problem, that is, the other party is a bank robber.


    Those people usually have wild ways, and they will always rob in unexpected ways. "


    Henry''s face froze immediately, but he also knew that Roan''s words were indeed reasonable, so he hurriedly asked:


    "Agent Roan, do you have any suggestions?"


    "certainly!"


    Roan nodded, and led Henry to the bank lobby.


    Just when Henry was puzzled, Roan grinned, took out two black hoods with lightning speed, put them on his and Henry''s heads, and shouted:


    "Don''t move! Rob!"


    Henry: "???"


    Bank staff: "!!"


    ��


    A few hours later, the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Agents, gentlemen and ladies!"


    Augus pushed open the door with a big belly, and shouted loudly with a folder in his hand:


    "We got a new case today!"


    ��At five o''clock this morning, a college student who was exercising in the morning found a dead body in the river in the park. The dead body was shot in the side of the brain.


    Because of the river and the park, the Trace Inspection Division did not find any witnesses or related videos.


    The only clue found was that the victim''s car was parked not far from the park, and the victim''s computer was found in the car. ��


    After receiving the information in the folder, Luo An frowned and asked in doubt:


    "A male corpse appeared in the river in the park? Why is this kind of case sent to us?"


    Ordinary homicide cases, NYPD can be responsible.


    "Because the address of this park belongs to federal land."


    Mona and Lacey looked at each other, Lacey stretched out her hand and pointed to the crime scene in the file:


    "According to Article 18 of the law, cases that occur on federal land are under the jurisdiction of the federal government."


    "All right."


    Roan nodded, and William, who was next to him, saw this, and after obtaining Augustus''s permission, he loudly introduced the specifics of the case:


    "The victim''s name is Brent Hughes, 42 years old this year, a wealthy bank investor who works for a high-end Wall Street company, and his main job is mergers and acquisitions between companies.


    As for Brent Hughes himself, he has no criminal record, no debts, and no lawsuits. "


    "But he has an uneasy wife."


    Mona on the side tapped the keyboard a few times, then answered with a smile:


    ��I found Brent Hughes�� divorce files showing that her wife, Mary Anne, had a relationship that went beyond friendship with a plumber for a construction company while Brent was on a business trip.��


    "Wow, what a sad story."


    Hearing Mona''s description, Augustus sighed casually, and Roan raised his brows:


    "Plumber? Are you sure?"


    "snort!"


    Glaring at Roan, Mona continued to read:


    "For the past year, Brent Hughes and Mary Anne have been arguing over the child support."


    Ryder on the side became interested and asked in a low voice:


    "Do you know the specific dispute between the two parties?"


    Mona nodded, and quickly adjusted the requirements of both parties:


    "Of course, Mary Anne asked the man to pay 500,000 dollars a month in alimony."


    "500000?"


    Everyone gasped when they heard the words.


    Roan was also very emotional, and after thinking for a while, he continued to ask:


    "Now Mary Anne can take all of Brent Hughes'' money.


    By the way, is she still with that plumber now? "


    "Still together."


    Mona nodded, pointed to the information on the computer and said:


    "A month ago, the plumber just moved into Mary Anne''s house and lived with her."


    Hearing this, Roan, Augustus, Ryder, William, and several other men present all shook their heads in unison.


    Falling asleep and thinking about it makes my egg hurt for Brent Hughes.


    Throwing the information in his hand aside, Roan asked directly:


    "What''s the plumber''s name?"


    Mona tapped on the keyboard with ten fingers, and quickly called up a photo and related information of a middle-aged white male:


    "Millard Thompson, 36 years old this year.


    According to the company''s information, when Brent Hughes and Mary Anne first moved to the community, he began to make house calls. "


    "This guy''s ''technique'' must be good."


    Seeing the photos on the computer, Roan shook his head speechlessly, and continued to ask:


    "Does he have any criminal record?"


    Mona slid down the mouse and nodded:


    "Drunken Driving Once, Drunk Injury Once."


    After briefly analyzing the information in his hand for a while, Augustus stood at the forefront of the investigation team, with his hands on his hips, and loudly arranged the work:


    "Agents! Let''s continue to investigate Brent Hughes now, and find out all his personal life, recent work content, hobbies and other information!


    In addition, Ryder, you go to the trace inspection department, and get back the autopsy report as soon as it comes out. By the way, get back that computer too.


    Lacey, go and visit Brent Hughes'' company and see if there are any clues there. "


    Ryder and Lacey nodded in agreement upon hearing this.


    Seeing this, Augustus tilted his head and cast his eyes on Roan.


    Roan immediately said with a serious expression:


    "Mona and I went to visit the victim''s wife and ask the plumber."


    "Good."


    Augus nodded in satisfaction, Roan and Mona looked at each other, and immediately got up and walked into the equipment warehouse.


    ��


    The pitch-black SUV speeds along the roads of New York.


    Mona sat in the co-pilot, typing on the keyboard to check Mary Anne''s financial situation, and asked casually:


    "Roan, I heard that you went to the banks that were robbed yesterday and upgraded their security technology. Can you tell me what adjustments you have made?"


    Roan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, turned the steering wheel, drove the SUV to another road, and replied:


    "I broke the old ideological barriers of bank managers, helped them break through the ideological barrier, and realized the detachment and operation of the bank robbery crime theory. The product iteration of protective facilities has achieved dimensionality reduction in the ecological niche.��


    Mona: o_O


    Seeing that Roan was talking more and more, as if he had no intention of stopping, Mona, who was full of bewilderment, hurriedly shouted loudly:


    "Stop! Speak human!"


    Roan blinked and said directly:


    "I pretended to be a bank robber and showed the bank manager several methods of how the robbers would bypass their current security facilities and finally successfully rob their bank."


    Mona: "."


    At this time, the car just arrived at the door of Mary Anne''s house. Mona gave Roan a hard look, then put away the computer and got out of the car.


    Walking to the gate of the villa, the two looked at each other, and Roan reached out and rang the doorbell.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 148： millard thompson

    Chapter 148 Millard-Thompson


    Inside the villa.


    After hearing the news of her husband''s death from Roan, Mary Anne sat down on the sofa with an incredulous expression on her face, her mouth covered, her eyes flushed.


    A few minutes later, Mary Anne calmed down, choked up and said:


    ��Brent and I have been married for 10 years, I was going to keep going, but����


    Reaching out and handing Mary Anne a piece of toilet paper, Mona who was sitting on the sofa asked in a low voice:


    "What happened between you?"


    "Brent only sees work."


    Hearing Mona''s question, Mary Anne seemed to turn on some switch, and said one after another:


    "Before getting married, although he was busy, he still went home after all.


    But after he got married, he was always on business trips, always busy with work, even when he came home, he would always stay in the study..."


    "..."


    Hearing this, Mona looked up at Roan.


    Roan blinked, wondering what Mona meant.


    "I can''t take it anymore,"


    Here, Mary Anne is still narrating:


    "What''s the point of this kind of marriage when I''m alone most of the time? I''m so lonely..."


    Roan leaned on his chin and nodded.


    If the bottom is blocked, it will naturally need to be unblocked. This is what plumbers do.


    Speaking of which, Mary Anne noticed that there was something wrong with Mona''s eyes beside her, she froze for a moment, then hurriedly waved her hand and said:


    "But I still love Brent, and I would never do anything to hurt him."


    Mona heard the words and said blankly:


    "But your divorce records don''t seem to show that."


    "That''s just because of the money."


    Mary Anne sighed:


    "You know, when things get involved with money, it always gets complicated."


    Just then, Roan received a text message from Ryder.


    The autopsy report from the trace inspection department has come out. The time of Brent Hughes'' death was around 11:30 last night. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head, and the bullet was a 9mm bullet.


    Pressed the button to reply with a receipt and thank you, Roan put the phone away, turned his gaze to Mary Anne, and asked in a deep voice:


    "May I ask where you were at about 11:30 last night?"


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mary Anne was taken aback for a moment, then her face flushed instantly, and she shouted:


    "I told you! I won''t hurt Brent!"


    "This is just a routine inquiry."


    Regarding Mary Anne''s hysteria, Roan pretended not to see it, and said with a blank expression:


    ��Between husband and wife, if one party dies, the other party will be under serious suspicion no matter what.


    I am asking you now, mainly to eliminate your suspicion. Please calm down and answer my question well. "


    "snort!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mary Anne snorted coldly.


    After taking a sip of the water on the table, Mary Anne replied coldly:


    ��I was in Manhattan all night last night for an art show.


    There is monitoring there, if you doubt me, you can go there to investigate. "


    "OK."


    Recording the address of the art exhibition hall in a small book with no expression on his face, Roan continued to ask:


    "Where''s Millard Thompson? Was he with you last night?"


    "No."


    When Roan mentioned Millard''s name, Mary Anne''s eyes flickered, and then she shook her head, indicating that Millard had never liked these things.


    But then she eagerly explained:


    "There''s no way Millard did this.


    Although the relationship between them is not good, Millard is a good person, he will not do such a thing as murder! "


    Roan, who had been watching Mary Anne''s expression, frowned, and then pretended he didn''t see anything, and was noncommittal to what Mary Anne said.


    After drawing a few random strokes in the small notebook, he asked again:


    "Do you know where Millard was last night?"


    ��He went drinking with friends last night.��


    Seeing that Roan pointed the finger at Millard Thompson again, Mary Anne immediately took out her phone very angrily:


    "I''m calling Millard back now!


    You can ask him, he is definitely not the murderer of Brent! "


    "..."


    Seeing the other party''s actions, the corners of Mona''s mouth twitched slightly, and the corners of Roan''s brows also twitched.


    Mary Anne did this either because she genuinely believed Millard wasn''t the murderer, or because...


    Mona looked up at Roan, who also gave her a look.


    The two of them calmly prepared their pistols.


    Ten minutes later, a brand new red car drove up to the gate of the villa.


    Seeing the car through the window of the villa, Mary Anne smiled:


    "Millard is back."


    "OK."


    Roan and Mona nodded, but before they could speak, the owner of the red car saw the black SUV parked outside the villa. The car that was about to stop suddenly accelerated and rushed out into the distance.


    "Fu-k!"


    Seeing this scene, Mona immediately cursed. Just as she was about to rush out of the villa and run towards the SUV, Roan suddenly reached out and grabbed her.


    "?"


    Mona was full of doubts, and Roan came to her ear and whispered quickly:


    "Take care of Mary Anne."


    After speaking, Roan quickly ran into the SUV and chased after him with a kick of the accelerator.


    Looking at the SUV that disappeared in the blink of an eye, Mona was silent for a second, the corners of her mouth raised, and then she turned and returned to the villa.


    ��


    In the villa district of southern New York, the shadow of a red car speeds along the road.


    Several car owners happened to pass by, and the startled car owners were about to curse, when a black lightning that was faster than the car just now rushed out from them.


    The pitch-black SUV was running on the road, and Luo An sat in the driver''s seat with a face full of calm, operating the steering wheel with both hands, and threw aside the shock and anger of the drivers behind him.


    He has just notified the NYPD patrols who are patrolling nearby, and those patrols said they will arrive soon.


    After all, it is a wealthy area, and a large number of NYPD will come here if there is any trouble.


    Millard Thompson, who was driving a new car, looked at the light and shadows passing by outside the car window, his heart was pounding uncontrollably.


    It was the first time for him to drive the car so fast.


    Fortunately, this is a villa area, and there is not much traffic, otherwise he felt that he might have crashed a long time ago.


    Seeing the black SUV hanging behind him at first, but now getting closer to him, Millard-Thompson''s mouth was dry.


    Immediately afterwards, the distance between the black SUV and the red car began to maintain a balance.


    Seeing this, Millard-Thompson thought that the speed of the SUV had reached its peak, and he was relieved.


    But Millard-Thompson checked the rearview mirror carefully and found that Roan, who was driving the SUV, not only had a calm expression on his face, but seeing that he was looking at him, Roan even waved to Millard with a smirk on his face. Smile!


    Seeing this scene, Millard Thompson''s pupils trembled, and his hairs stood on end.


    Before he could open his mouth to say greetings, a police car with harsh sirens suddenly appeared in the distance.


    After confirming that the target was the red car in front of him, the two policemen who ran down from the police car quickly laid portable car stoppers on the ground.


    "Shit!"


    Seeing the nails on the ground, Millard immediately cursed, hurriedly reduced the speed of the car, turned the steering wheel, and prepared to drive the car into the opposite lane.


    At this moment, Luo An, who was driving the SUV, calmly took out the Glock 18 with his left hand, aimed at the car, and pulled the trigger.


    bang bang bang bang��

    Chapter 149 If necessary, please move to the browser


    The bullet was fired from the muzzle of the gun, and entered the target''s body very precisely, causing the target to tremble...


    Cough cough.


    Roan''s marksmanship was very accurate, three bullets hit the left front wheel of the red car, and the remaining two bullets hit the left rear wheel.


    The red car that was turning lost its balance in an instant, and slanted into the trees on the side of the road.


    Slowly parked the SUV to the side of the road, Roan held a Glock 18, and walked slowly to the side of the smoking car in a guard posture.


    The driver was indeed Millard Thompson.


    Because he obeyed the traffic rules and was wearing a seat belt while driving, the injury was not serious, it was just a broken thigh + coma.


    According to the usual practice, Roan took out his mobile phone and called an ambulance.


    Just after hanging up the phone, Mona called him again.


    Seeing this, Luo An hurriedly pressed the answer button:


    "How''s it going, Mona, are you okay?"


    "What can I do?"


    Hearing that Roan cared about her, Mona was a little happy, but the content of the words still made her roll her eyes.


    Anyway, she, Mona, was also trained at the FBI Academy, so she has no problem with basic fighting skills and marksmanship.


    But now is not the time to talk about this, Mona smiled and said to the phone:


    "I mean, Roan, thanks for letting me stay."


    Luo An frowned when he heard this:


    "Mary Anne tried to assault you?"


    "of course not."


    Mona on the other end of the phone smiled and replied:


    "But I found two interesting things in her house."


    ��


    That afternoon, in the interrogation room of the No. 5 investigation team.


    Millard Thompson, with a bandage on his head and a plaster cast on his thigh, was sitting in a wheelchair, looking darkly at Roan and Mona across the interrogation table.


    Selectively ignoring the unhappy expression on Millard Thompson''s face, when Mona got ready for the laptop, Roan took a sip of coffee, coughed lightly and asked:


    "Millard Thompson, you..."


    Before Roan could finish speaking, Millard shouted loudly:


    "I tell you, I didn''t kill Brent!


    His death has nothing to do with me! I had no intention of killing him at all! "


    "Yeah?"


    Roan frowned and asked:


    "Then why did you run away?"


    "Because I don''t trust you FBI."


    Millard said disdainfully:


    "I have a criminal record, and I also had **** with Brent''s wife. You will definitely identify me as the murderer."


    "Wow, you really have a clear understanding of yourself."


    Hearing what Millard said, Roan nodded and shook his head, then took a few pieces of paper from his side, threw them in front of Millard, and said:


    "But we suspect you for more than that.


    Mary Anne said to us, you went drinking with friends last night.


    But we asked all your friends, but we didn''t find any trace of you drinking with any friend.


    So, where were you at around 11:30 last night? "


    Millard''s face froze when he heard this, and after he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he still said the same thing:


    "I didn''t kill Millard, I didn''t kill him."


    Seeing Millard''s attitude, Roan pondered for a few seconds, tilted his head and looked at Mona, who nodded, and took out the two pieces of paper from under the laptop.


    These two pieces of paper are the two interesting discoveries that Mona mentioned.


    One of them is the test report from the hospital.


    "Millard, did you know that Mary Anne is pregnant, and it shows that she has been pregnant for four and a half weeks."


    Looking at the report card in front of him, Millard had no expression on his face.


    Neither joy nor surprise.


    Seeing this, Roan kept smiling, but handed another piece of paper to Millard''s eyes:


    "This one is the abortion operation scheduled by Mary Anne, and the time is just two weeks later."


    Hearing this, Millard''s body trembled suddenly, and then he hurriedly turned his gaze to the paper on the table.


    Seeing Millard''s face of bewilderment, which then became increasingly ugly, Roan took a sip of coffee calmly, and then added fire:


    "Brent and Mary Anne have been divorced for a year, if I''m not mistaken, this child is yours.


    Looking at you, Mary Anne seems to have told you that she is going to abort this child..."


    "Fu-k! This **** mark..."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Millard''s face turned a little bit liver-colored.


    After being silent for a while, Millard knocked **** the judgment table, and said in a hoarse voice:


    "I want to see a lawyer."


    ��


    Outside the interrogation room, the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    "How about it, Roan."


    Augus held a box of hamburgers and distributed them to the agents of the No. 5 investigation team one by one. Finally, he walked up to Roan and asked with a smile:


    "What''s going on with Millard?"


    "Still discussing with the lawyer, but we already know the truth on his side. Lacey and Ryder have also gone to arrest Mary Anne."


    After taking a bite of the burger, Roan shrugged, saying that this story is nothing new.


    The husband is always busy with work and neglects his wife. The wife is so lonely that she has a passionate double row with the plumber.


    The specific situation of double rows. There are many license plates in the island country that have been demonstrated in detail. If necessary, please move to the browser.


    For things like double row games, if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three. In short, in the end, the matter developed smoothly to the route of divorce-demand for alimony-murder of the ex-husband.


    Augus nodded:


    "So, the truth of this case is that Mary Anne used the reason of pregnancy to ask Millard to kill her ex-husband Brent.


    On the surface, after Brent died, the two shared Brent''s money together.


    In fact, Mary Anne planned to send Millard to prison afterwards, kill the child herself, and then enjoy Brent''s money to herself? "


    Speaking of this, Augustus looked very complicated, and he didn''t know what he thought of.


    Hearing what Augustus said, Roan swallowed the hamburger in his mouth, shrugged and said:


    "According to normal circumstances, this case did develop like this.


    But things will not always develop according to human plans, so some minor accidents occurred during the specific actions of the case. "


    Augus froze when he heard this, biting the hamburger. After thinking for a few seconds, he tilted his head and asked:


    "Could it be that something went wrong when Millard went to kill Brent?


    For example, when Millard arrives, Brent is already dead? "


    "Exactly."


    Roan nodded, indicating that things were similar to what Augustus thought.


    The location agreed upon by Millard and Brent was indeed the park at the scene of the crime.


    But before Millard passed, Brent was killed by someone else.


    Because the murderer threw Brent''s body into the river, Millard waited for several hours without waiting for anyone, blowing the cold wind all night in vain.


    This is also the reason why Millard was still discussing with the lawyer now.


    Millard''s behavior was clearly an attempted murder.


    In the United States, for attempted homicide, the penalty will vary depending on factors such as the criminal suspect''s criminal record, behavioral motives, and weapons used. Sometimes it will be a misdemeanor, and sometimes it will be a felony.


    "OK."


    After listening to Roan''s description, Augustus, who ate the hamburger in a few mouthfuls, patted his stomach, tilted his head and asked:


    "So, we''re back where we started, right?"


    "No."


    Roan, who had just finished eating half of the hamburger, shook his head, wiped his hands, took out a piece of paper from the side, handed it to Augustus and said with a smile:


    "I found a new lead.


    This thing is probably the real reason why the murderer killed Brent Hughes. "


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 150： The truth of the case

    Chapter 150 The truth of the case


    Taking the paper Roan handed him, the form on it was filled with various numbers.


    Augus was dizzy and didn''t understand what the numbers in the table meant, so he asked directly:


    "What''s this?"


    "A miracle of capitalist society."


    Roan took back the paper, bit the hamburger in two or three bites, and explained with a smile:


    "This company called SDAM executed a stock transaction of a certain Wall Street company, which was worth 20 million US dollars.


    On the second day, SDAM miraculously sold these stocks for 42 million US dollars. "


    "Wow."


    Hearing Roan''s explanation, Augustus'' eyes widened instantly, and he hurriedly asked:


    "Have you found out who is behind SDAM?"


    "No, SDAM is just a bag company."


    Roan shook his head. He studied accounting before, so he was able to quickly find this abnormal transaction among the many transactions that Brent Hughes had come into contact with.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan continued:


    "Not only that, after the bag company SDAM, there is another bag company.


    And that $42 million went into a bank in Houston, and then was transferred to some offshore banks very quickly.


    After a few seconds at the offshore bank, the final quick transfer to����


    Before Roan could say anything, Augustus replied with an ugly face:


    "Cayman Islands, right?"


    "Yeah."


    Roan nodded.


    The confidentiality of the Cayman Islands is very strong. The information of companies registered in the Cayman Islands, directors and shareholders is not open to the public. A copy of the register of directors and shareholders is kept in the registry and will never be released.


    As for taxes, there is no need to pay other taxes except for the license fee paid to the government in January every year.


    So the Cayman Islands has become the world''s largest tax haven. It is difficult to find the specific information of the transaction there.


    After all, in the United States, the last thing to offend is the rich.


    "Then the search warrant is useless."


    After receiving Roan''s affirmative reply, Augustus looked very unhappy:


    "In other words, we are fighting against a master this time, right?"


    Roan nodded, and the opponent''s operation seemed very skilled:


    "The person who transferred the funds is not an ordinary expert."


    After pondering for a few seconds, Augustus tilted his head and asked:


    "So, do you have any clues to continue the investigation?"


    Involving such a high-capital crime situation, Augustus felt a bit of a headache for a while.


    "Of course!"


    Hearing Augustus'' question, Roan grinned, and took out another piece of paper from the side table.


    Augus didn''t answer, he just waved his hand to signal Roan to explain.


    "On this piece of paper are the numbers that Brent-Hughes has called and answered on his mobile phone in the past few days."


    Roan glanced at the strings of numbers on the paper and felt that Augustus might have misunderstood something, so he explained with a smile:


    "The string of numbers is from the Securities and Exchange Commission.


    I called the other party just now and found out that the other party''s identity is a lawyer named Wells.


    And this Wells is in the Securities and Exchange Commission and is the director of the Enforcement Section. "


    Augustus'' eyes lit up immediately.


    Apparently, the real facts of the case are that Brent-Hughes discovered improper stock trading in SDAM and contacted the SEC.


    As a result, the news leaked out from nowhere, causing Brent Hughes to be silenced.


    Hearing Roan''s words, Augustus''s **** face suddenly showed a smile, nodded repeatedly and praised loudly:


    "Nice job! Roan!


    I knew it was the most correct choice to entrust this case to you! "


    Roan grinned when he heard the words, stretched out his hand and took a big hamburger from the box in front of Augustus.


    ��


    The next day, in the morning.


    In a building in the Wall Street area.


    In the elevator, Lacey was silent for a while, then tilted her head and asked:


    "Roan, I remember the information shows that you worked on Wall Street before you came to the FBI, right?"


    "Yeah."


    Roan nodded.


    Lacey was even more puzzled when she saw this, she slowly moved to Roan''s side, and asked in a low voice:


    "You are a top student who graduated from the University of Massachusetts Boston, accounting, why did you leave here and choose the FBI?"


    Based on Roan��s conditions, he has worked **** Wall Street for decades, and without any accidents, he can definitely live an elite life that ordinary people envy.


    The monthly salary of the FBI is not as high as the commission some people on Wall Street get after completing a stock transaction.


    Hearing what Mona said, Luo An rolled his eyes in his heart:


    how could I know?


    Roan-Greenwood''s memory, Roan has received seven, seven, eighty-eight.


    But only Roan Greenwood chose to leave Wall Street and join the FBI. No matter what he did, he couldn''t see clearly.


    The only things that can be clearly seen are the memories of Roann Greenwood''s training days at the FBI Academy, and his graduation with honors, and his eventual transfer to the FBI''s New York branch.


    After trying all kinds of methods, but unable to see that memory clearly, Roan finally chose to temporarily put it aside.


    Anyway, this memory has no impact on his current life, and there will always be a day when he will see this memory clearly in the future.


    However, Roan also has some guesses about the content of this memory, but no evidence has been found yet.


    Ding-


    The elevator arrived at the destination. Roan chose to ignore Lacey''s expectant eyes waiting for him to answer the question, and walked into a small economic investment company.


    As soon as I got to work this morning, Roan and Lacey went to the Securities and Exchange Commission to question Lawyers Wells.


    Then I learned the name of this small economic investment company from Wells'' lawyer.


    According to Lawyer Wells, Brent Hughes found out that it was an employee of this company who completed all the operations of buying and selling stocks of SDAM.


    The small economic investment company was full of people, shouting on the phone everywhere, and the excitement and exclamation completely synchronized with the rise and fall of the stock price on the computer.


    Looking around, Roan led Mona to a thin white young man, patted him on the shoulder and said expressionlessly:


    "FBI.


    Hi Kermit, we have something to ask you. "


    Seeing the golden badge that Roan showed before his eyes, Kermit''s face, which was originally flushed because of the rising stock price, instantly turned a little pale.


    In the lounge of the small economic investment company, Roan poured a cup of coffee for himself and Lacey very familiarly, then handed Kermit a piece of paper from his pocket, and asked with a smile:


    "Kermit, it seems that you already know the reason why we came to you, so I won''t talk nonsense.


    Tell me, what is going on with this 20 million transaction? "


    "this��"


    Holding the data on the paper in his hand, Kermit pondered for a moment, finally exhaled with an ugly face, looked up at Roan, and explained:


    "I swear, I really don''t know.


    The entire process of this transaction is done using bank accounts and phone calls. "


    Lacey on the side frowned when she heard this:


    "Then who did you call?"


    "I have no idea."


    Kermit shook his head again and again:


    "All I know is a woman on the other end of the phone."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 151： The Importance of Private Browsing

    Chapter 151 The Importance of Private Browsing


    "A woman?"


    Hearing what Kermit said, Lacey was taken aback for a moment, and then turned her gaze to Roan beside her.


    Roan didn''t talk nonsense, and said directly:


    "Give me all the relevant documents, phone records, and all other details of this transaction.


    Now. "


    "That''s impossible, OK?"


    Kermit heard the words, shook his head repeatedly and said:


    "I process hundreds of stock trades a day, how can I find all the information on that trade so quickly?


    How about it, I will deliver it to you after get off work today, is that okay? "


    "no.


    I said you can, you can. "


    Before Kermit finished speaking, Roan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, then stared into his eyes, and said with a serious face:


    "Listen, Kermit, you''re just a junior trader working for a small economic investment firm.


    I''m sure that the $20 million transaction is definitely the biggest transaction you''ve ever seen, and the commission for that transaction must have made you a lot of money.


    So, don''t try to tell us this one-shot lie, it''s a felony to lie to the FBI. "


    "..."


    Kermit''s face darkened when he heard this, and after a cold snort, he strode out of the lounge:


    "I''m going to find the file now."


    "Good."


    Roan looked at Kermit''s back and nodded with satisfaction.


    ��


    A moment later, Lacey took a few pieces of paper and sat in the co-pilot of the SUV. Roan reached out and opened the door of the driver''s seat of the SUV, and took out his mobile phone to call Mona.


    "Mona, I have a mobile phone number here, please check it for me."


    Different from the past, this time Mona did not immediately agree, but asked Roan a question:


    "Roan, remember the Brent Hughes laptop that Ryder brought back from the trace inspection department?"


    "Yeah."


    Sitting on the driver''s seat, Roan fastened his seat belt and nodded:


    "Of course I remember, why, did you find anything in the computer?"


    "Exactly!


    After Brent Hughes''s computer was in my hands, I looked through his browsing history first, and found a lot of interesting things. "


    Mona in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team had a serious face, while Luo An, who started the SUV, had a series of black lines on his forehead.


    He thought of what he saw in his previous life, the news about a person who didn''t forget to format his phone before he died.


    Sure enough, the existence of private browsing is necessary.


    "etc!"


    Thinking of this, Luo An''s eyebrows twitched suddenly:


    "Can something like private browsing prevent a computer expert like Mona?"


    The messy thoughts in Roan''s mind Mona didn''t know, she continued to the phone:


    ��Brent Hughes scanned his computer for viruses a few days ago with the help of a computer expert in a forum on the Internet.


    As a result, a virus was actually found. "


    Luo An heard the words, his face suddenly became dignified, and he asked in a deep voice:


    "What virus?"


    If it was just a small virus, Mona wouldn''t tell him about it.


    "A very specific virus."


    Mona on the other end of the phone explained:


    "The program of this virus is not complicated, it just scans the files in Brent-Hughes'' laptop for keywords.


    There are many of these keywords, most of which are related to stock trading.


    After searching for the target content, the virus will send those information in the form of email. "


    "Wow."


    Hearing Mona''s description, Roan frowned.


    It feels like a movie.


    Tilting his head and pondering for a few seconds, Roan asked:


    "Can I find out who received the email?"


    Mona in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team looked a little ugly:


    "The other party is using a virtual machine and a temporary mailbox. If you want to investigate carefully, it will take a very long time."


    Mona judged that it would take at least two nights to start.


    "All right."


    Hearing what Mona said, Roan hurriedly asked her to put aside the matter of investigating the recipient of the email, and then asked her to check the phone number just now.


    "OK."


    The matter of checking the phone number is very simple, and Mona quickly found out the identity of the woman on the other end of the phone:


    "Yona Ramirez, 49 years old this year, is one of the managers of the "Dancer" modeling company and currently lives in Queens."


    "The ''Dancer'' modeling agency?"


    Hearing what Mona said on the phone, Lacey, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly lit up.


    Seeing this, Luo An hurriedly tilted his head and asked:


    "What''s wrong?"


    "This modeling agency is underground in New York and is very famous."


    Lacey tilted her head and looked at Roan, with a strange light in her eyes, and her tone was very special:


    "The models there each have a very skilled skill."


    "Forehead��"


    Seeing the expression on Lacey''s face, and hearing her words, Roan fell silent.


    He planned to let Lacey take him to see the case after the case was over.


    Skills or something, he is still young and has never seen it before, so he needs to learn more.


    "Thanks a lot."


    After getting the address of Yuna Ramirez from Mona, Roan stepped on the accelerator, and the SUV drove towards the road in an instant.


    "By the way, Mona."


    Just when Mona on the other end of the phone was about to hang up, Roan suddenly thought of something, so he raised his eyebrows and asked in doubt:


    "Can you find out when that virus entered Brent-Hughes'' computer?"


    Mona was stunned:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    "If you could find out when the virus entered your computer,"


    Roan said with a smile while driving the vehicle:


    "Then let''s look up Brent Hughes'' itinerary for the day, so..."


    When Mona in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team heard this, she suddenly understood, and her eyes lit up instantly:


    "Then, I will know who put the virus into Brent Hughes'' computer!"


    "Exactly!"


    Roan nodded in satisfaction with a smile on his face.


    Mona is a computer expert. When encountering problems, she habitually uses hacking methods to solve them.


    Roan only has some basic understanding of computers, but he can reason, so it is easy to find the problems that Mona ignores.


    Not long after, Mona''s happy cheers came from the other end of the phone:


    "Thank you so much, Roan! You helped me out of my big trouble of staying up all night tonight!"


    Luo An raised his brows and asked:


    "What did you find?"


    "The time the virus appeared on Brent Hughes'' computer was installed in the early hours of the morning half a month ago."


    Mona said to the phone with a smile all over her face:


    "According to Brent Hughes'' credit card records, Brent Hughes was resting in a hotel at that time.


    The hotel''s surveillance video showed that Brent Hughes was not alone.


    Accompanying him was a Western European model named Philomena. "


    "I know Philomena."


    Hearing what Mona said, Lacey, who had been silent all this time, suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed:


    "As far as I know, she is also a model of the "Dancer" model company! And she is also the best batch!"


    "OK."


    Hearing this, Luo An suddenly showed a smile on his face.


    He has connected the whole thing, everything.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 152： insider dead

    Chapter 152 The insider is dead


    Hearing Mona''s words, and Lacey''s introduction to Philomena and the "Dancer" modeling company, and then thinking of the miracle of capitalism that I found earlier... Roan quickly figured out what Brent Hughes The truth about death.


    Because Brent Hughes'' work is mainly responsible for mergers and acquisitions between companies, some guys who want to make quick money are eyeing him.


    The black hand behind the scenes first sent Philomena to approach Brent Hughes half a month or more ago.


    Brent Hughes has been divorced for a long time, so he was very successful...not resisting the temptation of the beautiful model, and sent an invitation to exchange bodily fluids to the other party.


    But Philomena is not looking at Brent Hughes himself, but the files in his computer.


    So the exercise ended, Brent Hughes fell asleep, and Philomena put the virus into Brent Hughes'' laptop in the early hours of the morning.


    The main program of the virus is to scan the keywords of documents and other information in the computer, and then send the content in the form of emails, so the mastermind behind the scenes quickly learned the inside information of a certain Wall Street company.


    Obtaining insider information, the man behind the scenes decided to use the leather bag company to set up a new leather bag company, namely SDAM Company.


    Then SDAM spent 20 million US dollars to buy the stock of that company.


    The next day, SDAM successfully sold the stock at a price of 42 million US dollars.


    Made a net profit of 20 million US dollars overnight, and the money grabbing is not so fast.


    But Brent Hughes, who has worked on Wall Street for so long, found something wrong with this deal.


    Immediately afterwards, Brent Hughes immediately searched for computer experts to retrieve his computer and successfully found the virus.


    Recalling who he had been in contact with recently, Brent Hughes instantly realized that it was Philomena''s fault, and immediately contacted the Wells lawyer of the Securities and Exchange Commission.


    The man behind the scenes who has been monitoring Brent Hughes, upon learning of the news, immediately had someone blow Brent Hughes'' head...


    Thinking of this, Roan didn''t hesitate, and quickly asked Ryder to arrest Yuna Ramirez of the "Dancer" model agency.


    After confirming the news that Ryder had picked up his equipment and started to take action, Roan continued to ask on the phone:


    "Mona, where is Philomena now?"


    In the whole case, Yuna Ramirez was in charge of remote control of Kermit to buy and sell stocks by phone, and Philomena was the specific executor close to Brent Hughes.


    So I know that both of them have a high probability of knowing the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.


    Hearing Roan''s question, Mona in the No. 5 investigation team''s office area immediately tapped the keyboard.


    After a while, Mona''s strange voice came from the other end of the phone:


    "Um, here I show that Philomena is now in the NYPD police station."


    Hearing this, Roan and Lacey were stunned.


    ��


    NYPD Police Department.


    When Roan and Lacey came here, a white woman with a curvy figure and a good face was arguing loudly and anxiously with the female policeman in the police station.


    "Hi Lacey!"


    "How did you come?"


    The two of them just stepped into the police station, and before Roan could react, several white policewomen''s eyes lit up, and they hurried to Lacey''s side.


    While asking Lacey why she came here, two of the policewomen were still in front of the rest of the policewomen, and kissed Lacey on the face without any concealment.


    "..."


    Seeing Lacey facing so many boats at the same time, her face was still calm, and she didn''t look like the car was overturned at all. While Roan was speechless, his eyes narrowed slightly.


    Roan never minded learning more about what he didn''t understand.


    Who knows if there will be a chance to use it in the future, it is always good to be prepared.


    "Ahem."


    After briefly chatting with a few policewomen, Lacey tilted her head and pointed to the side where the loud quarrel was happening, and asked in a low voice:


    "What''s going on over there?"


    "The female model came to report to the police, saying that her sister was lost, and that she was in danger now, and she wanted us to help find her quickly."


    A policewoman with several freckles put her arms around Lacey''s waist and explained in a low voice:


    "But according to the information given by the female model, we couldn''t find the sister she mentioned at all, and the other party didn''t exist at all, so of course we couldn''t help her find it..."


    Lacey frowned and turned her gaze to Roan.


    Roan, who also heard the news, didn''t change his expression. Just as he was about to speak, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    He took out his mobile phone and walked aside, pressed the answer button, and Ryder''s dignified words came from the other end of the phone:


    "Roan, bad news, Yuna Ramirez is dead."


    According to Ryder''s description, when he arrived at Yuna Ramirez''s home with several SWAT team members, he found Yuna Ramirez''s body in the kitchen.


    The state of the corpse was shot in the side of the brain and died on the spot, exactly the same as Brent Hughes.


    The exact time of death is unknown, but it seems that it was not long ago. Ryder has already called the trace inspection department to check there.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    After listening to Ryder''s narration, Roan nodded with a gloomy expression, and hung up the phone after a brief chat.


    Seeing Roan''s face look bad, Lacey hurried over and asked in a low voice:


    "What happened?"


    Hearing the news from Ryder just now from Roan''s mouth, Lacey''s face instantly turned ugly.


    The black hand behind the scenes silenced her words faster than she imagined.


    But Roan didn''t panic, because there was an insider in front of him.


    Walking towards the female model not far away, Roan took out a golden badge and said with a serious expression:


    "FBI, we have something for you."


    "FBI?"


    Hearing Roan''s voice, Philomena, who was full of anger and reasoning with the policewoman, was taken aback for a moment, and then panic flashed in her eyes.


    However, years of modeling experience made Filomina react. She hurriedly kept her face unchanged, tilted her head and asked in doubt:


    "What are you looking for me for?"


    Roan didn''t talk nonsense, and directly told the news of Brent Hughes'' death.


    "What did you say?"


    When Philomena heard this, she covered her mouth and exclaimed, and the expression on her face became flustered.


    Roan carefully observed Philomena''s movements and found that her reaction did not seem to be fake. A lot of thoughts flashed in her mind, but she continued to say with a blank expression:


    "We found that the cause of Brent Hughes'' death may be related to you, please come with us now."


    "No!"


    Filomina shook her head again and again, and loudly refused:


    "My sister is missing now! She''s in danger now! You guys have to find her or I''m not going anywhere!"


    "you sure?"


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued:


    "Yuna Ramirez also died, just now."


    "..."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Philomena froze in place, with a look of horror in her eyes.


    Bowing her head and being silent for a while, Philomena raised her head, cast her eyes on Roan, and said with a pale face:


    "You FBI must help find my sister, otherwise I will never leave the NYPD police station."


    Hearing this, Luo An''s expression remained unchanged, but a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.


    He had a guess just now, that is, because Philomena was afraid of being silenced, she made up a younger sister to take refuge in the police station.


    But now this conjecture can be thrown into the trash can. The younger sister that Philomena was talking about seems to have something else hidden.

 Chapter 153： 【Serial murder case in deep pit by the sea】

    Chapter 153 [Serial murder case in deep pit by the sea]


    Investigation team No. 5, interrogation room.


    Filomina was handcuffed to the interrogation table, and Roan and Lacey sat opposite her.


    After sorting out the information briefly, Roan passed some of them that could be shown to others, and handed them to Philomena, saying:


    ��If you can get tomorrow��s Wall Street Journal today, you��ll never lose money.��


    After briefly describing the case, Roan finally asked in a deep voice:


    "Tell me, who is behind this case?"


    "..."


    After listening to Roan''s words, Philomena was very shocked, and looked at Roan with disbelief written all over her eyes.


    She never expected that the FBI would find out the truth behind Brent Hughes'' death so quickly.


    Lifting her head, Philomena took a deep look at the handsome FBI agent in front of her. After taking a deep breath, she still shook her head and said:


    "I won''t say anything until you find my sister."


    Roan frowned upon hearing this, pulled Lacey aside, and said softly:


    "I have asked the best detective of our No. 5 investigation team to find your sister based on the information you provided.


    But the premise is that the information you provide must be true. "


    Filomina slapped the table with excitement:


    "Of course the information I provided is true! I didn''t lie to you!"


    "OK."


    Roan didn''t get entangled in this point, but continued:


    "Philomena, I didn''t lie to you, my colleague is indeed looking for your sister in the federal database.


    We now have a basis for cooperation, so can you tell us about the process of this case. "


    "..."


    Hearing what Roan said, Philomena bowed her head in silence for a while, and finally whispered bitterly:


    "I really didn''t kill Brent Hughes, I swear.


    I just do what other people ask me to do. "


    Lacey asked doubtfully:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Taking a deep look at Roan, Philomena took a deep breath and said:


    ��When I was 18 years old, I was a country girl. Once, a photographer in our country told me that I could make a lot of money as a model in New York.


    Then they helped me apply for a visa, bought a plane ticket, and sent me to New York.


    But it''s all a lie. "


    Roan frowned, and tilted his head to look at Lacey, and Lacey also tilted her head to look at him with an ugly expression.


    The two of them can already guess the follow-up.


    Sure enough, Philomena continued with red eyes:


    "He told me that if I didn''t do what he said, he would kill me first and then kill my family in our country.


    Then he hit me and he made me stronger. "


    Roan sighed, Lacey frowned, her face was ugly, but she asked in a soft voice:


    "who is he?"


    "He''s the one who ordered me to approach Brent Hughes, and the one who ordered Brent Hughes to be killed."


    Filomina shook her head, and said again that she would not name that person until her sister was found.


    For Philomena, this is her only bargaining chip.


    Roan and Lacey also thought of this, so they didn''t force it.


    Filomena continued to whisper with her eyes red:


    "Later, because my external image was better, he sent me to the "Dancer" modeling company and asked me to study under Yuna Ramirez.


    After a while, he started to lead me to places where people on Wall Street eat, drink and have fun.


    Introduced me and helped me make a name for myself, he also sent me to sleep with some people..."


    A few minutes later, Philomena finished speaking, Roan and Lacey looked at each other, and Qi Qi got up and left the interrogation room.


    ��Dirty Wall Street.��


    As soon as she walked out of the interrogation room, Lacey spat with a face full of displeasure, and then tilted her head to look at Roan:


    "You chose to leave Wall Street for this reason, right?"


    Luo An was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded.


    With an expression of "I knew it", Lacey patted Roan''s shoulder vigorously, and said in a deep voice:


    ��I used to only know that Wall Street is dirty, but I didn��t expect it to be this dirty.��


    In fact, there are dirtier places you haven''t seen yet.


    Looking at the back of Lacey walking towards the office area, Roan shook his head silently.


    Being treacherous, double-faced, double-faced, dishonest, worse than others, slanderous...


    There are countless examples of people on Wall Street doing anything to make money. The darkest and ugliest things that humans can think of have basically happened here.


    "How''s it going, Mona?"


    Walking to the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Roan sat down on his chair, stretched his waist, tilted his head to look at Mona, and asked with a smile:


    "Have you found any news about the younger sister that Philomena said?"


    "Of course! I''m Mona!"


    Hearing Roan''s question, Mona threw him a pair of sanitation balls, then pointed to the data in the computer and said:


    "The information Philomena said was actually information about his sister in Europe, and it''s normal that NYPD couldn''t find it.


    I just used the FBI internal network to jump into the internal network of the Customs and Immigration Administration, and successfully found a girl who fits the external image and information that Philomena said. "


    "Good job!"


    Smiling and pouring a cup of coffee for Mona, Roan cast his eyes on her computer screen and found that it was actually a case record.


    Luo An suddenly thumped in his heart, and hurriedly asked:


    "What''s happening here?"


    "A serial murder case discovered by the NYPD the night before yesterday."


    Mona borrowed the coffee Roan poured for her, raised her head and drank it dry, and then said angrily:


    "At 10:40 the night before yesterday, NYPD received a report from a worker who was temporarily working overtime to repair the road, saying that they found a dying girl covered in blood on the beach on the south side of Long Island.


    After sending the girl to the hospital, NYPD found a deep pit in a remote corner by the sea based on the blood dripping from the **** the ground.


    After draining the pit, the NYPD found the bodies of 22 women at the bottom of the pit. "


    "What did you say?"


    Lacey''s pupils dilated instantly, and she hurried over:


    "22 female corpses?!"


    Because of the excitement, Lacey''s voice was distorted.


    "Exactly!"


    Mona was also very angry. She pointed to the information in the computer, her eyes were full of anger:


    "And after forensic identification, none of the 22 women is over 25 years old, and the youngest is even just 17 years old, not yet an adult."


    boom-


    Hearing what Mona said, Lacey slammed the table down and cursed:


    "Fu-k! Damn murderer, Sonofbitch..."


    Roan''s face was also very ugly, but he still didn''t forget the original goal, and hurriedly asked:


    "What about Philomena''s sister?"


    "If the girl I found is really Sister Philomena."


    Mona tapped on the keyboard with ten fingers, and a portrait photo appeared in front of the two:


    "Then she is the girl''s corpse numbered 021."


    Hearing this, Lacey immediately raised her hand to cover her eyes, and Roan let out a long breath.


    The air was quiet for a long time, Lacey and Mona glanced at each other, and finally Qiqi turned to examine the case carefully. Roan, who was silent, asked in a low voice:


    "What''s next?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 154： Bet your life to jump on the balcony, the identity of the real murderer

    Chapter 154 Gamble your life and jump on the balcony, the identity of the real murderer


    The office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    After pondering for a moment, Roan motioned Mona to type out the girl''s information and photo from the computer.


    He was going to give it to Philomena, and asked if the girl was the sister Philomena was looking for.


    If it wasn''t for my sister, there was no need to tell Philomena about this case, and Mona could just continue the investigation.


    If it is really...


    Seeing the eyes of Lacey and Mona, Roan said expressionlessly:


    "The news of the girl''s death must be told to Philomena, after all, she is a relative of the girl."


    The information in the computer shows that the girl''s body has not yet been claimed.


    Even if it was for the girl''s funeral, they should tell Philomena the news.


    A few minutes later, Mona finished preparing the girl''s information and photos. Roan took the folder and tilted his head to look at Lacey.


    Lacey patted her cheek, got up and walked into the interrogation room with Roan.


    ��


    The girl is indeed Philomena''s sister.


    After hearing the news of her sister''s death, Filomina sat on the chair in a daze for a long time, and finally covered her eyes with her hands, lowered her head and began to cry silently.


    "it''s all my fault��"


    Hearing Philomena''s words, Lacey hurriedly comforted the other party. After Philomena''s emotions stabilized, she took out a piece of paper and handed it to her, then asked in a low voice:


    "Philo, what happened?"


    Roan was a little puzzled by Philomena''s reaction.


    He guessed just now that Philomena might subconsciously deny it when she learned about her sister''s death.


    Yelling and refusing to even say who was behind the killing of Brent Hughes was also in his preparations.


    Roan also thought of a solution to this situation in advance.


    But unexpectedly, Philomena seemed to have guessed the possibility that her sister was dead.


    And she also blamed herself for all of this.


    "it''s all my fault."


    Hearing Lacey''s inquiry, Philomena was silent for a while, first repeated this sentence, and then whispered:


    ��After I helped him earn some money, he treated me a lot better.


    One night a long time ago, after he finished torturing me, I took advantage of the situation and proposed the idea of ??sending back some of the money I got to my family.


    Not only did he agree, but he also allowed me to sit in front of him and chat with my parents on the phone. "


    Speaking of which, Philomena had an extremely complicated expression on her face.


    Filomina was very happy to hear the man''s words. She hadn''t called her parents for a long time, and could only send text messages every time.


    Because the man was sitting in front of Philomena, Philomena didn''t dare to tell what happened to her on the phone.


    She can only tell her parents that she is doing well now, that she has good food, clothing, housing and transportation, and has made a lot of money, so she sent some money back to subsidize her family.


    But what Philomena didn''t expect was that her cousin, who had just turned 18, happened to be a guest at her house that night.


    Hearing my cousin on the phone saying that she is working as a model in New York, and her daily life is colorful, the idea of ??defecting to her cousin suddenly arose in her mind.


    How could Philomena make her cousin jump into the fire pit, so she hung up the phone in a hurry.


    "But I didn''t expect, she still came to New York."


    Philomina covered her cheeks with her hands, and said in a trembling voice:


    "Three days ago, a strange call suddenly came to my mobile phone. After I picked it up, I found out that it was actually from my cousin!"


    The cousin on the other end of the phone was very anxious, telling Filomina that she had come to New York, but was deceived, and now she is being forced to sell her cause.


    This mobile phone was taken by her while the client was exercising with a good sister, and she secretly took the client''s mobile phone and ran to the bathroom to call Philomena.


    The cousin on the other end of the phone wanted Philomena to save her, but before Philomena could ask her where her cousin was now, there was a man''s curse on the phone, and then the other end hung up the phone.


    Philomina was very panicked and anxious to save someone.


    But she didn''t know where her cousin was now, so she couldn''t call the police, and she couldn''t leave because she was always surrounded by surveillance personnel sent by men.


    Until today, Philomena finally managed to escape from the surveillance personnel by jumping off the balcony while an old Wall Street man was taking a shower, and ran to the NYPD police station...


    After listening to Philomena''s narration, Lacey''s expression was dignified, and the feelings deep in her heart were very complicated.


    "Three days ago?"


    Roan, who was sitting by the side, didn''t look very good-looking, but he found an important point.


    The case of the female corpse in the deep pit by the sea was discovered the day before yesterday, and Philomena''s cousin called three days ago, and the number of the corpse is still ranked 21 out of 22.


    Roan leaned on his chin and whispered to himself:


    "Cousin Philomena should have been killed by the murderer shortly after she made the phone call."


    But Roan didn''t tell Philomena this guess, because he still has one most important question to ask:


    "Philomena, who is the man you mentioned? What''s his name?"


    "His name is Salbato Cristo."


    Hearing Roan''s inquiry, Philomena did not hesitate, raised her head immediately, gritted her teeth and said earnestly:


    "His father was an immigrant from Europe, and he himself was connected to many European-dominated gangs in New York.


    And Salbato-Christo''s apparent identity is the owner of a rental high-end jewelry store! "


    "OK."


    Obtained the identity of the man behind the murder of Brent Hughes, Roan nodded decisively and stood up to leave the interrogation room.


    The door just opened, and Philomena looked at Roan''s back and begged loudly:


    "Agent Luo An, I beg you, help catch the murderer of my cousin!"


    Luo An stopped walking when he heard the words, but walked out of the interrogation room quickly without answering.


    Seeing this, Philomena shook her body, turned pale, and then hurriedly turned her gaze to Lacey.


    Filomina doesn''t know much about the speed with which the FBI handles cases.


    But the team of detectives in front of them can find out the case of Brent Hughes so quickly, Philomena believes that they will also be able to quickly find the murderer of her cousin.


    Seeing Philomena''s eyes, Lacey''s eyebrows trembled, but she also didn''t agree.


    Although Lacey sympathized with what happened to Philomena and the sisters, that case was not something she could take on as she wished.


    Lacey asked herself that she was not at this level in the No. 5 investigation team.


    The only one who has the right to choose whether to take over the case or not, except for the leader Augustus in the No. 5 investigation team, the rest is Roan.


    Augustus is the team leader, so he naturally has this power.


    And Luo An is the specific leader of solving the case, not only can solve the case, but also lead everyone to earn bonuses together.


    The detectives of the No. 5 investigation team didn''t say anything, but in fact, they had already listed Luo An as the deputy team in their hearts.


    So Luo An naturally has the right to decide whether to take this case.


    Thinking of this, Lacey pretended not to see the pleading look in Philomena''s red eyes, and followed Roan out of the interrogation room.


    "Mona!"


    Walking out of the interrogation room, Roan didn''t talk nonsense, and immediately asked Mona to investigate the current location of Salbato Christo, and then asked Lacey to apply for a search warrant.


    "OK!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona immediately nodded in agreement, and her ten fingers also flew on the keyboard.


    Lacey put the documents back on her desk, and was about to leave the office area to apply for a search warrant, but after a few seconds of hesitation, she still tilted her head to look at Roan, and asked in a low voice:


    "Luo An, what do you think about the serial murder case by the seaside?"


    Mona on the side heard this, paused while typing on the keyboard, and also looked back at Roan.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 155： How tight is tight?

    Chapter 155 How tight is tight?


    Seeing the pleading look in Mona and Lacey''s eyes, Roan sat down on the chair with a solemn face.


    "You need to know one thing."


    Picking up a folder from the desk, Roan looked at the two women in front of him and said with a serious expression:


    "It was a serial murder case."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona and Lacey were stunned for a while, but Qiqi''s expression changed after they realized it.


    Yeah, that was a serial murder case.


    Previous Life In 2020, the detection rate of homicides in the United States is only 54%.


    Among them, the detection rate of serial murder cases is not mentioned.


    The current time is still in 2005, and the level of technology and equipment is far inferior to that time.


    Lacey and Mona don''t know the situation of the afterlife, but they also know how difficult it is to solve a serial murder case.


    Every serial murder case is solved, either on the New York news, or on the textbooks inside the FBI.


    After the [Lake Bottom Corpse Case] ??was solved last time, several news media in New York City sent interview requests to Luo An of the No. 5 investigation team, wanting him to appear on TV.


    But Roan only wanted to make money quietly, and didn''t want to provoke a group of lunatics and perverts because of his fame, so he rejected them.


    Even so, that case eventually caught the attention of some of the people inside the FBI who manage the case file.


    This case has a high probability of being included in the textbooks of the FBI Training Academy in the future.


    It''s because the procedure is cumbersome, so I don''t know how long it will take.


    Everyone in the No. 5 investigation team knew about this, and of course Mona and Lacey knew about it too.


    But because Roan has repeatedly successfully solved cases in the recent period, miraculously, the rate of solving cases after Roan entered the No. 5 investigation team has risen to 100%. That''s why Mona and Lacey think of Roan when they encounter a case.


    The two of them have subconsciously ignored the difficulty of the serial murder case, thinking that as long as Luo An takes action, there will be no unsolved case.


    It wasn''t until Roan''s reminder that Mona and Lacey realized that Roan couldn''t guarantee to solve every case.


    "Feel sorry."


    After thinking about it, Lacey and Mona showed disappointment in their eyes, but Qi Qi expressed apology to Roan.


    The two of them only subconsciously hoped that Roan would take over the case because they were both women and felt sympathy and indignation for Philomena''s experience.


    "no need to say sorry."


    Roan waved his hand, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, the corners of his mouth raised slightly:


    "I''m going to have a chat with Augustus later, and then take over this serial murder case."


    Hearing this, Lacey, who picked up her clothes and was about to leave the office area to apply for a search warrant, turned around in surprise.


    Mona, who checked the information again, heard this, and instantly mistyped several letters, and looked at Roan with a face full of astonishment.


    Seeing the smile on Roan''s face, Mona didn''t understand that Roan was teasing her just now, so she rolled her eyes and patted Roan''s arm hard.


    Roan, who was very happy, smiled, and handed the folder in his hand to the two of them:


    "The information shows that the NYPD has not handed over this serial murder case to any investigation team of the FBI."


    In this case, there will be no problem of competing with other investigation teams for the case and eventually causing conflicts.


    Not only that, the place where the body was found was on the south side of Long Island, and the government originally set up a development plan for that area.


    But now because of the serial murder of 22 corpses, the development plan was forced to stall. The government, in desperation, publicly offered a reward of 200,000 US dollars to capture the real murderer of this case.


    With Salbato-Crystal''s name and occupation, Mona quickly found where he is now.


    Getting the exact information of the location, the fully armed Roan and Ryder did not hesitate, and immediately set off with a team of SWAT team members to arrest Salbato Cristo.


    Salbato-Crystal was on the apron of a private jet in the suburbs of New York. When Roan and Ryder arrived, Salbato was just about to board a small private jet.


    A SWAT team member parked the car in front of the small private jet, blocking the path of the plane.


    Ryder and the rest of the SWAT team members waited for the car to stop, and immediately ran out of the car, raised the rifle in their hands, aimed at Salbato-Christo and shouted:


    "Don''t move!"


    Salbato Christo, who was standing in the middle of the stairs of the private jet, saw the faces of the heavily armed SWAT players extremely ugly.


    As soon as he turned his head, Roan also drove an SUV and got stuck behind the private jet.


    Walking to the front of Salbato Christo who was headed by Ryder''s gun, Roan took out the handcuffs and handcuffed him on his wrist, and said with a blank expression:


    "Congratulations, Mr. Crystal, you won''t have to fly in the next few decades."


    Salbato-Christo''s face was ashen when he heard this.


    ��


    The next day, No. 5 investigation team.


    "Roan, this is a gift that Philomena asked me to bring you."


    Early in the morning, as soon as Roan sat in his chair, Lacey walked over with a smile on her face, carrying a small box.


    Hearing Lacey''s words, Roan, who was about to stretch his waist, paused, tilted his head and asked:


    "Gift? What do you mean?"


    "literal meaning."


    Placing the small box on Roan''s desk, Lacey replied with a smile:


    "Salbato-Christo has offended too many people and has many cases on his back. He just suffered from lack of evidence before, so he couldn''t be arrested.


    After we arrested him this time, after discussions with the prosecutor, Philomena, as the most important witness, successfully joined the witness protection plan.


    When this case is over, Philomena will change her name and identity, and spend the rest of her life incognito in other cities within the Federation. She will also have the opportunity to bring her parents into the Federation.


    So in order to express her gratitude, Philomena specially prepared this gift for you. "


    Opening the box on the table, I found a silver men''s watch inside, and it was obvious at a glance that it was worth a lot.


    Roan frowned when he saw this, pondered for a moment, then tilted his head and asked:


    "I plan to take over the serial murder case of her sister, have you told Philomena?"


    "of course not!"


    Hearing what Roan said, Lacey immediately rolled her eyes.


    She is not a person who doesn''t know the seriousness. Not to mention that the case has not been handed over to the No. 5 investigation team, even if the case is really handed over to the No. 5 investigation team, as long as it involves the case itself, Lacey will not say anything.


    Lacey put her hands on her hips and smiled disdainfully:


    "My mouth is always tight!"


    "..."


    Very tight How tight is it?


    Roan frowned, then quickly shook his head, throwing the messy thoughts in his head aside.


    Picking up the silver watch and looking carefully, Roan pondered for a moment, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.


    After being a model for so many years, and walking around those old guys on Wall Street so many times, Philomena is still a little cautious.


    On the surface, this watch is a thank you gift from Philomena.


    But in fact, this watch is probably Philomena''s request for Roan to take over the seaside deep pit serial murder case.


    Shaking his head, he put the watch back into the box. Just as Roan was about to stretch his unfinished waist, Augustus, with a big belly, suddenly pushed the door of the No. 5 investigation team and walked in:


    "Roan, come to my office!"


    Roan: "..."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 156： good meal never afraid of late

    Chapter 156 A good meal is never afraid of being late


    Investigation team No. 5, team leader''s office.


    As soon as the two sat down, Augustus handed a folder into Roan''s arms, grinning and saying:


    "Roan! You solved the case of Brent Hughes so beautifully!"


    The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, leaving Augustus with a smile that concealed his achievements and fame. Roan lowered his head and opened the folder in his hand.


    The content on the paper in the folder was not what Roan imagined, it was a proof of the issuance of a new bonus.


    It was the [Serial Murder Case in the Seaside Deep Pit], which was handed over to their No. 5 investigation team.


    Roan frowned, and looked up at Augustus who was sitting across from him drinking coffee from a cup.


    Although Augustus successfully got the case, Roan felt in a good mood.


    But usually after the case is solved, the certificate of bonus distribution will basically be issued the next day.


    Roan has won several double bonuses in front of him.


    What''s going on this time?


    "Salbato-Christo, this guy is in some trouble."


    Seeing Roan''s eyes, Augustus understood instantly, put the coffee cup on the desk, and said with a smile:


    "In addition to Philomena, he has several women who are in contact with people on Wall Street.


    After you and Ryder arrested Salbato yesterday, a team leader from the Financial Crimes Investigation Section contacted me..."


    The leader of an investigation team of the Financial Crimes Investigation Section asked Augustus not to prosecute Salbato for the time being.


    Because they also have many cases related to Salbatore and Wall Street in their hands, but there has been no evidence before.


    Now the No. 5 investigation team has not only captured Salbato, but also has Filomina as a witness in its hands. The Financial Crimes Investigation Section intends to use this to spend Salbato in prison completely. half life


    Speaking of this, Augustus looked more and more satisfied with Roan''s eyes.


    The vast majority of the cases handled by the Financial Crimes Bureau are related to Wall Street, and every time a case is solved, they can make a lot of money from it.


    So this group of people sometimes looks down on the Criminal Investigation Section, Organized Crime Investigation Section, etc. These investigation teams require frequent field trips, low wages, and low bonuses.


    In addition, the No. 5 investigation team has just been established, and Augustus is still a new team leader transferred from another department...


    On weekdays, although the team leaders of the Financial Crime Investigation Section would not ridicule Augustus, their attitude towards Augustus was very average.


    And this time, because Roan solved the [Park River Male Corpse Case] ??and captured the mastermind behind the scenes, Salbato Cristo, the team leader of the Financial Crimes Investigation Section had to come to Augustus for cooperation...


    Thinking of the expression on the face of the team leader of the Financial Crimes Investigation Section, August''s molars burst into laughter.


    Patting his stomach, feeling that Roan has his own demeanor when he was young, Augustus raised his eyebrows at Roan:


    "After the case of Salbato is completely over, the Financial Crimes Investigation Section will thank our No. 5 investigation team."


    Hearing this, Luo An realized it instantly, and said with a smile on his face:


    "I see, thank you sir."


    There is no fear of being late for a good meal, just a little bonus, Luo An is not in a hurry.


    What''s more, judging from Augustus'' posture, the gratitude from the Financial Crime Investigation Bureau after the event seems to be more than a simple bonus.


    Waving his hand, Augustus said that Roan solved the case, and he contributed the most, so you don''t need to thank him for this little thing.


    Sitting on a chair, after briefly chatting about the details of the [Park River Male Corpse Case], the two finally left the team leader''s office together.


    "Good morning, agents, ladies and gentlemen!"


    Walking to the front of the investigation team''s office area, Augustus looked around and found that everyone had arrived, and said loudly that the follow-up processing of the "Park River Male Corpse Case" can be put aside first.


    Shaking the folder in his hand, Augustus went on to say:


    "What we are going to deal with next is a serial murder case targeting girls!"


    Hearing that the No. 5 investigation team had indeed taken over the [Serial Murder Case in the Deep Pit by the Sea], Lacey and Mona immediately gave Roan a grateful look.


    Roan grinned and waved his hands to signal the two to listen carefully to William''s words describing the specifics of the case.


    The history and circumstances of the case described by William are exactly the same as what Mona investigated earlier:


    The night before yesterday, workers working overtime on Long Island found a girl covered in blood.


    NYPD found the deep pit where the murderer disposed of the corpse based on the blood on the ground, and found 22 female corpses in the deep pit.


    "Thank you, William."


    After listening to the case overview, Augustus waved his hand to signal William to sit down, then looked at the crowd and said:


    "Obviously, what we are looking for this time is a ruthless pervert.


    Do you have any thoughts or experiences on finding perverts? "


    "I checked where the body was found."


    Mona sat at her workstation, tapped the keyboard a few times, showed the photos inside to everyone, and replied earnestly at the same time:


    "That location was in a very remote part of the southern Long Island area.


    If it weren��t for the government building roads to develop that area, and the surviving girl was lucky enough to escape, the pit might not have been discovered for decades. "


    The photos in the computer show that the location of the deep pit is right on the sea, and because of the backflow of sea water, the entire deep pit is full of turbid seawater.


    The first time ordinary people see the deep pit, they must turn around and avoid it.


    And children or a few men who happen to pass by here may pick up a few stones and throw them down to test the depth.


    "OK."


    After listening to Mona''s words, Augustus frowned, and his tone was quite dignified:


    "To be able to choose such a remote place, the murderer must know it well."


    "Yeah."


    All the detectives nodded in unison. The murderer had disposed of 22 corpses in the deep pit, so he must be very familiar with that area.


    "That area has not been monitored yet."


    Glancing at the map data in Mona''s computer, Augustus touched his chin, and finally tilted his head to look at Roan:


    "Roan, what do you think?"


    "The girl who survived was too seriously injured, and the operation on her body could not be done at one time, so she is still undergoing surgery to this day."


    Hearing Augustus'' question, Roan didn''t talk nonsense, and pointed directly at the information in the computer and said:


    ��On the other hand, because there were too many dead bodies in this case, the NYPD has not yet issued a complete autopsy report.


    The girl is not in a hurry here, I plan to go to the 22 corpses first, maybe I can find some clues about the murderer. "


    "Good."


    Augus nodded in satisfaction, and after a few brief explanations, he handed over the leadership of the case to Roan.


    Because Roan solved the bombing case, the new funds issued by Corbett arrived in the account this morning, and Augustus needs to quickly receive it now.


    This money is related to the new coffee machine, new seat and new computer of the No. 5 investigation team in the future, so there must be no problems.


    "By the way, Mona."


    When he was about to set off with Lacey, Roan slapped his head suddenly, tilted his head and said to Mona:


    "Remember Philomena mentioned before that her sister used the client''s mobile phone to call her for help?"

    Chapter 157 Breast augmentation surgery


    "certainly!"


    Mona nodded, instantly understood what Roan meant, and immediately got up and said:


    "I''m going to check Philomena''s cell phone and find out who is behind that phone number."


    As a client of a john, that man has 100% contacted the people involved in this case.


    "Good."


    Seeing that Mona understood his thoughts so quickly, Roan showed a smile on his face, and then led Lacey to the elevator.


    The elevator descended slowly. Lacey glanced at Roan who was bowing his head in thought, and a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.


    She thought carefully about Mona''s behavior these days, and found that not only did Mona guess that Roan''s thoughts were getting faster and faster, but also that Mona''s occasional small movements in life and work were more and more like Roan''s. shadow��


    ��


    NYPD, Planing Room.


    "Good morning, FBI agent."


    "Good morning, Mr. Forensic Doctor, just call me Roan."


    The white old forensic doctor in front of him, Roan is no stranger.


    In the car accident that happened because of the CIA, when Roan and Mona came to investigate Evander''s body together, they met this old forensic doctor.


    The CIA agent stole Evander''s computer while the old forensic doctor was obsessed with dissecting corpses.


    "Okay, Roan."


    After all, he had met Roan once, so the old forensic doctor didn''t talk nonsense this time, he just picked up a cup of coffee and drank it, then said with a smile:


    "My name is Latham."


    "Thank you, Latham."


    Glancing at the covered female body, Roan selectively ignored the coffee next to him, and asked in a deep voice:


    "Can you tell me about the condition of these corpses?"


    "certainly."


    The old forensic doctor nodded, and then took out a set of fast food noodles in a square paper shell from the cabinet next to him:


    "But before that, I need something to eat."


    The old forensic doctor said that he was getting old, and this time 22 corpses came at once again.


    Although there are colleagues to help, he is still too busy these days.


    Smelling the faint scent of corpses in the air, and seeing the old forensic doctor sitting next to the corpse, eating calmly, Lacey twitched the corner of her mouth and looked away.


    In these years in the FBI''s trace inspection department, Lacey has seen such scenes many times.


    But seeing her many times does not mean she has fully adapted to it. Although Lacey no longer has nausea, she still feels very uncomfortable.


    Luo An didn''t care. Not only did he not change his face, he even asked the old forensic doctor where he bought the fast food noodles. It smelled delicious, and he wanted to try it later.


    Seeing this, the old forensic doctor immediately cast a satisfied look at Luo An.


    He has worked in the forensic profession all his life. When he saw himself eating in front of the corpse, most of them, except for the forensic colleagues, would vomit and choose to leave the room.


    A small number of people will be like Lacey, who are used to it but are still not used to it, and choose to quietly look away.


    And like Luo An, who is not a forensic doctor, and does not often come into contact with disemboweled corpses in his own work, but who still does not change his face when he eats himself, belongs to the minority of the minority.


    "I''ll give you the address later."


    After eating the noodles in the box in two or three bites, the old forensic doctor wiped his mouth, and then took an attitude several times more serious than usual to Luo An, the detective who made him very satisfied, and introduced carefully:


    "These victims were killed one after another in the past three years.


    The most recent victims, numbers 018 and 019 died a week ago, and 020, 021, and 022 died three days ago. "


    Hearing this, Luo An suddenly narrowed his eyes.


    The body No. 021 was Philomena''s younger sister. He had guessed before that she was ruthlessly killed by the murderer after calling for help.


    Now it seems that he did not guess wrong.


    ��The bodies of these victims were all stabbed 15-25 times by the murderer with a jagged short knife.��


    Lifting off the blue veil covering the corpse, the old forensic doctor pointed at the breast of the corpse, and introduced with a serious expression:


    "These corpses all showed the characteristics of Xinggong workers.


    And above the chest, all of them had a piece of skin the size of a bottle cap that had been cut off by the killer. "


    Looking at the cut skin of the corpse, Lacey''s face was ugly, Roan lowered his head and looked carefully.


    After a while, Roan suddenly noticed that there were still some uneven marks on the flesh and blood under the skin, and he raised his head and asked:


    "What is this?"


    "good eyesight."


    The old forensic doctor smiled and patted Roan on the shoulder, explaining:


    "Clearly, this is a marker that would identify the victim."


    Luo An heard the words, nodded in silence for a while, and said in a low voice:


    "And it was forcibly carved on the victim''s body with a heated blade."


    "What?"


    Hearing this, Lacey on the side was full of doubts:


    "Why is it engraved by a heated blade? Isn''t it directly branded?"


    "No."


    Roan shook his head, turned around and explained seriously:


    "The heat emitted by the brand is limited, it is impossible to penetrate through the skin, into such deep flesh and blood.


    Only with a heated blade can this be achieved. "


    After finishing speaking, Roan turned to look at the old forensic doctor, and continued to ask:


    "A total of 22 corpses, which corpse has clearer traces?


    Or, can you restore the original appearance of the traces? "


    Combining the incident of the cousin calling for help described by Philomena before, now the corpses all show the characteristics of Xinggong workers, and the corpses have the same brand marks.


    It is not difficult to judge that all victims should serve the same organization.


    The murderer removed the branding marks on the corpse in order to make people wonder which organization this organization is.


    Faced with this situation, besides being a serial murderer, the real culprit behind this case may also be a human trafficker.


    As long as the original shape of the brand can be restored, with the help of the Organized Crime Investigation Section, Roan believes that they will soon be able to find out where the organization is located and who is behind the scenes.


    Then bust the group, catch whoever was behind it, and get the remaining girls out.


    Lacey on the side thought for a moment, thought of this, and immediately cast a hopeful look at the old forensic doctor.


    Seeing this, the old forensic doctor shook his head with a serious face:


    "The corpse is very decomposed, and it has been sinking on the bottom of the sea. We can''t restore the original appearance of the brand."


    "All right."


    Roan was a little disappointed when he heard the words, but the expression on his face didn''t change much, while Lacey''s expression collapsed instantly.


    the more you hope, the harder you fall.


    "And one more thing."


    Seeing Luo An''s calm expression, the old forensic doctor added a calm and steady label to him in his heart, nodded in satisfaction and continued:


    "Several girls over the age of 18 here have undergone polyacrylamide prosthetic implantation operations."


    When Lacey heard this, she was slightly taken aback:


    "Breast augmentation surgery?"


    Luo An paid attention to the important point, looked at the old forensic doctor with a serious face and asked:


    "PPA? Are you sure?"


    In the previous life, injectable breast augmentation through polyacrylamide was strictly prohibited because it was extremely harmful to the human body.


    At this point in time, most of the federal territory has also stopped using this material.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 158： Simple folk customs, harmony and love

    Chapter 158 The folk customs are simple, harmonious and loving


    "Of course."


    Seeing the expression on Roan''s face, the old forensic doctor chuckled, put the blue covering cloth back on the corpse, and continued:


    "As far as I know, all regular hospitals in New York State no longer use polyacrylamide as a material for breast augmentation surgery on women."


    Lacey on the side heard this and asked:


    "You mean, the only ones that still use this material are those underground black clinics?"


    "Exactly."


    Received an affirmative answer from the old forensic doctor, Lacey blinked and turned to look at Roan.


    Seeing Lacey''s gaze, Roan shook his head helplessly.


    "There are too many underground clinics in New York."


    The city of New York has always been famous for its simple folk customs, harmony and love.


    Citizens have also developed a good habit of falling asleep with gunshots.


    One day, if there are not a few gunshots, New Yorkers will not be able to sleep well.


    But when a gunshot sounds, someone must be injured, and an injury needs to be healed.


    The United States is a country that adheres to the capitalist development line, and it is natural to provide supply when there is demand.


    So things like underground black clinics have sprung up in the underground world of New York, and they are distributed in various districts.


    If you want to thoroughly figure out these black clinics, except for the IRS, neither the NYPD nor the FBI can do it.


    Hearing what Roan said shaking his head, Lacey frowned suddenly, and she also thought of this.


    Just when she was about to say something, Roan suddenly looked up at the old forensic doctor and asked:


    "The doctor who performed breast augmentation surgery on these girls, what do you think of his technique or technique?"


    "Manner or technique?"


    Hearing Roan''s question, the old forensic doctor raised his brows, he really didn''t think of this.


    Holding his arms around his chest and thinking carefully, the old forensic doctor finally said in a deep voice:


    ��During breast augmentation surgery, this doctor used a multi-level and repeated puncture injection method to diffuse the hydrogel in the breast tissue.


    In addition, during hydrogel injection, there was no acute bleeding caused by the needle tip puncturing small blood vessels, and there was no laceration or oozing of blood caused by too deep or too shallow an injection gap..."


    "Sorry."


    Hearing the old forensic doctor spit out a lot of professional vocabulary, Lacey looked blank, and hurriedly waved her hands and asked:


    "Can you directly state the conclusion?"


    The old forensic doctor immediately rolled his eyes when he heard the words, while Roan leaned on his chin and nodded thoughtfully:


    "You mean, this doctor has a lot of experience in breast augmentation surgery, and is even very likely an expert in this field."


    The old forensic doctor nodded in satisfaction, and then gave Lacey a "Look at her" look.


    Lacey: "��"


    Right at this moment, Lacey''s cell phone rang suddenly.


    Pressed the answer button, and after a brief chat, Lacey tilted her head and looked at Roan:


    "The girl who survived all the operations has been completed and she just woke up. Shall we ask her now?"


    "certainly."


    Roan nodded, briefly chatted with the old forensic doctor, and turned to leave the NYPD''s anatomy room.


    ��


    Hospital, hallway.


    Roan walked in the direction of the elevator, and Lacey held a folder beside her, and introduced the girl''s relevant information as she walked:


    "Janelle Skrodov, 21 years old, Ukrainian.


    In the fall of three years ago, she flew from Kiev to JFK International Airport, and the visa she applied for was a two-year tourist visa. "


    "Ukrainian?"


    Roan frowned, tilted his head and thought for a while, and continued to ask:


    "Does she have any relatives in New York?"


    "No."


    Lacey shook her head, closed the folder in her hand, walked into the elevator with Roan, and explained:


    ��Jenelle��s parents are Ukrainian, as are other relatives.


    According to the information from the customs, Janelle came to New York and lived in a hotel suite. But Mona just checked the check-in records of that hotel, and Janelle never stayed there.


    In fact, Janelle completely lost contact the second day after she arrived in New York. "


    After listening to Lacey''s narration, Roan frowned, the elevator door opened, and he led Lacey to the girl''s ward.


    Janelle, whose body was wrapped in bandages in many places, was lying on the hospital bed. When Roan and Lacey opened the door and entered the room, she was crying silently.


    After taking a brief look at Janelle, Roan found that she was indeed a beauty in line with European aesthetics. He took out the golden FBI badge from his pocket and said:


    "Hi Janelle, this is the FBI, can I ask a few questions?"


    "FBI?"


    Janelle was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously trying to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but her hands were all injured and she couldn''t move at all.


    Seeing this, Lacey hurriedly pulled out a few pieces of paper from the side, and gently wiped Janelle clean.


    "Thanks."


    Janelle cast a grateful look at Lacey, thanked her in a hoarse voice, and then turned to look at Roan:


    "Is your FBI in charge of investigating this case?


    I beg you, catch ''em! There are so many other girls like me out there. "


    "Of course, that''s how we got here."


    Roan tilted his head to look at Lacey, who immediately took out a small notebook from her pocket, preparing to record key information that might be useful later.


    After getting Roan''s affirmative answer, Janelle didn''t talk nonsense, and immediately narrated the whole incident.


    When she was 18 years old, Janelle saw an advertisement for a modeling agency in a newspaper in the countryside of Ukraine, which said that she could take them to New York to become models and earn a lot of money.


    Young girls without much social experience always have longings for becoming a model, so Janelle called the newspaper without hesitation for too long.


    In a company in Kiev, after passing a simple physical fitness test and identity information investigation, Janelle successfully got on the plane to New York.


    Janelle, who was sitting in the plane, thought this was her first step towards success in life.


    But unexpectedly, this is actually the last bus for her to fall into hell.


    ��When I first arrived in New York, a man named John came to pick me up.


    John was very nice to me that day, not only took me to see the sights in New York, but also took me to eat some food in a restaurant. "


    Speaking of this, Janelle''s face was full of hatred and regret:


    ��That night, John handed me a glass of champagne, and I drank it without thinking.


    When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying in a basement with my limbs bound by chains.


    Soon, John walked in and he told me that if I resisted, he would kill me and my family.


    Then, he took two other men to strengthen me for three days..."


    Speaking of this, Janelle''s face was pale and she couldn''t cry.


    Lacey''s face turned ugly when she heard this, and while comforting her in a low voice, she picked up the paper and helped Janelle wipe away her tears again.


    Roan''s expression remained unchanged when he saw this, but he shook his head deep in his heart.


    There is no free lunch in the world, the free one is the most expensive, this sentence applies everywhere.


    After a few minutes, Janelle''s mood stabilized. Seeing this, Lacey briefly comforted her and asked in a low voice:


    "Janelle, where is John imprisoning you?"


    "I have no idea."


    Janelle shook her head, choked up and replied:


    "In that place, there are several basements, and in each basement is a woman like me imprisoned.


    But every time he went out to sell the cause, John would have someone blindfold me. "


    Hearing this, Lacey frowned, and just looking at Roan, Janelle suddenly said:


    "But I know one thing."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 159： major crime

    Chapter 159 Major Crimes


    Hearing Janelle''s words, Lacey hurriedly asked:


    "What''s up?"


    "The house where we were imprisoned should not be far from the sea."


    Janell said that one night she was blindfolded by John''s men and took her to a seaside villa to sell the cause.


    During the intermission, she opened the window of the villa and smelled an indescribable smell of the sea.


    And Janelle could smell this smell every day in the house where she was imprisoned.


    "OK, Janelle, you''re great."


    Write down this important information in a small notebook, Lacey praised her in a low voice, Roan thought for a few seconds, and continued to ask:


    "Jenelle, is it the John you mentioned who attacked you in the deep pit by the sea?"


    "No, that man''s name is Tony, and he is one of John''s most important subordinates."


    Janelle shook her head, indicating that Tony would not listen to anyone''s orders except John.


    Blindfolding them every time and taking them to see clients is also Tony''s job.


    Not only that, but this Tony has mental problems. He usually talks upside down. For women who don''t obey his orders, he prefers to use physical persuasion rather than verbal orders.


    After listening to Janelle''s narration, Lacey''s face was full of disgust, and she wrote down a line in the small notebook:


    Have a strong desire to control.


    Luo An frowned, tilted his head and thought for a while, and briefly described the forensic discovery of several girls who had undergone breast augmentation surgery, and then asked:


    "Jenelle, do you know about that operation?"


    "I know!"


    Hearing about this operation, Janelle nodded heavily, and a gleam of light appeared in her eyes:


    ��Breast augmentation surgery was performed in one of the rooms of the house where we were imprisoned!


    There is a sister who is also from Ukraine and has undergone the operation. She once told me that the doctor is also a Ukrainian. At the same time, she was very old and even touched her before the operation! "


    Lacey on the side heard the words and quickly wrote down the information, and Roan''s eyes lit up:


    "Great, Janelle, the information you provided was very helpful!"


    "As long as it works."


    Janelle smiled wryly:


    "I only hope that you can quickly catch John and the others and rescue those sisters who are still imprisoned.


    Because once someone gets sick or breaks the rules, like asking for help from a john, John will order Tony to kill her afterward..."


    Lacey looked up at Roan, Roan frowned.


    Obviously, both of them thought of the cause of Philomena''s sister''s death: using the client''s mobile phone to call for help.


    Continued to chat for a while, and made an appointment with Janelle. Later, the FBI New York Headquarters would send an artist to make simulated portraits of John, Tony and others through her description. Roan and Lacey turned and left the ward.


    "What a **** bunch."


    Sitting in the co-pilot of the SUV, Lacey looked at the records in the small notebook, and suddenly showed disgust and anger:


    "Human traffickers are really disgusting guys in the world, they should be shot to death directly!"


    Roan, who was sitting in the driver''s seat, glanced at Lacey, fell silent for a while, took out his cell phone and called Mona.


    The call was quickly connected, and Mona''s questioning voice came from the other end of the phone:


    "How about it, Roan, have you found any clues?"


    "certainly."


    Roan briefly described the clues of the doctor found by the forensic doctor, as well as the few clues described by Janelle just now, and finally asked in a deep voice:


    "Mona, have you found the information of the client who called Philomena?"


    Like Lacey, after listening to Janelle''s narration, Mona also cursed.


    Because of her frequent use of her computer technology to browse the databases of various departments, Mona knows a statistic that about one-fifth of the women in the Federation have been sexually assaulted.


    These people are only women who have had data in the federal government.


    It does not count women like Janelle who have been coerced and whose identity information is not yet in the database.


    If these women are counted, the data of one-fifth will only be more and not less.


    But now is not the time to think about these things. Upon hearing Roan''s question, Mona immediately replied in a serious tone:


    "I''ve found that guy.


    His name is Jared Smith, and he is a former FDNY (Fire Brigade of New York) member. According to the information, he is currently unemployed and staying at home. "


    "Good."


    Getting Jared''s home address, Roan nodded in satisfaction, turned the key to start the SUV, and rushed out with a kick of the accelerator.


    ��


    An apartment building in the East Side of Queens.


    "Listen, two agents,"


    Knowing the purpose of Roan and Lacey''s visit, Jared, who was shirtless and showed his muscles, with a long face, spread his hands and said expressionlessly:


    "I don''t know what you are talking about, please leave my house, thank you."


    After speaking, Jared was about to close the door. Seeing this, Roan grabbed the edge of the door with one hand, and said with a faint smile:


    "Jared, we have all come to you, do you think you don''t know?"


    Feeling the force coming from the door, the former firefighter Jared''s complexion changed. Instead of answering Roan''s question in a hurry, he pushed the door hard again.


    Seeing this, Luo An had a half-smile in his eyes, and silently increased his strength to push the door.


    The two people stared at each other''s eyes and began to increase their strength. The strength in their hands was getting stronger and stronger, and the muscles on Jared''s arms began to bulge a little bit, looking a little hideous.


    Luo An was still calm. The stamina potion he drank every day was not for nothing. In addition to the boost left in his body from the strength potion he drank before, it didn''t matter if the opponent was a former firefighter. The other party snapped their wrists.


    Strength poured into his arm, and Roan increased his strength again. Jared''s expression changed suddenly, and he felt that Roan''s strength suddenly became much stronger, and the door he had finally pushed back was pushed back.


    Jared increased his strength again, the veins in his arms swelled up, the muscles were firmly together, and the big muscles in his neck were tense.


    "Hmm~~~"


    Hearing a constipated voice from Gared''s throat, Lacey, who had learned about Roan''s terrifying strength from Ryder, rolled her eyes and said in a low voice:


    "Roan, it''s important to investigate the case."


    "OK."


    Jared also heard this, but before he could react, an unimaginable force suddenly came from the opposite side as Roan''s words promised to Lacey fell.


    boom!


    With a loud bang, the door of the house was smashed directly to the wall next to it, and Jared was thrown directly onto the sofa in the living room by the sudden force.


    "Fu-k!"


    Lacey on the side was shocked when she saw this.


    She did hear from Ryder that Roan was very strong, but she didn''t expect his strength to be so strong.


    Lacey blinked, if she read correctly, the door seems to have left marks on the wall!


    "Sonof than eat!"


    Sitting on the sofa, Jared''s pupils trembled, his face full of disbelief.


    When he was a firefighter, although his strength was not the first among his colleagues, he was still ranked among the top three.


    But judging from the situation just now, even the number one colleague is definitely not as strong as the FBI agent in front of me!


    "I know what you''re thinking, Jared, you just want to get there in one go, what a hassle to date, right?"


    As if nothing had happened, Luo An walked into the room with a smile on his face, and said softly:


    "I don''t want to criticize you, I just want to know where that time was, OK?"


    Sitting on the sofa, Jared looked up at Roan''s smiling face in front of him, remained silent for a while, and decisively chose Congxin:


    "OK."


    It��s not a title party, but the content has been revised after review, but the chapter titles can��t be changed... I��m really sorry, I will definitely learn a lesson next time

    Chapter 160 Augustus: I am a heartthrob!


    In the living room.


    "I don''t know the exact location you want me to talk about."


    Jared sat on the sofa, was silent for a while, picked up the water on the table and drank it, and explained:


    ��Every time I tell the time, the other party tells the location, and finally I drive there with money to enjoy the service.


    But the other party said the location is different every time, so..."


    The corner of Lacey''s mouth twitched:


    "Wow, enjoy the service, what a high-end word."


    Jared disagrees:


    "I''m studying for a lawyer''s license, and of course I have to learn some academic terms."


    Roan was too lazy to deal with matters other than this case. He directly took the small book from Lacey''s hand, threw it in front of Jared, and said softly:


    "Then write down every place you have been to before.


    Also, write down how you contacted the other party, phone number, time, etc., all clearly. "


    From the corner of his eye, he saw the cracks on the door and the wall, and the crisp sound of Roan''s clenched fists. Jared sighed at the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and wrote a lot on the paper.


    Roan nodded in satisfaction, while Lacey took a deep look at Roan, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.


    ��


    Jacob Federal Building, office area of ??investigation team No. 5.


    "The information Jared wrote down indicated that the place he visited every time was the townhouse at the intersection of Route 84 and Route 9 in Long Island."


    Roan was sitting at his desk having a coffee break, while Lacey showed Mona the information in the small book, and explained at the same time:


    "According to what Jared wrote, he found the contact information on a recruiting website on the Internet, and the URL is here."


    Glancing at the website address on the small notebook, Mona tapped on the keyboard with ten fingers, and soon, dozens of photos of women appeared in front of everyone.


    "These are photos of **** girls advertising on this website."


    Mona''s face was serious, her fingers were flying, and an unintelligible code flashed on the computer, and eight more photos appeared in front of Luo An and the others.


    Ryder on the side asked doubtfully:


    "What does it mean?"


    Mona explained:


    ��These are visa photos from Ukraine.


    After face recognition, these eight photos are exactly the same as the **** girl photos on the website. "


    Roan concluded blankly:


    "In other words, these eight women from Ukraine are likely to be tricked into New York by that John, just like Janelle."


    "Yeah."


    Mona nodded, Lacey continued to ask:


    "Can you find out who is behind this website and where is it now?"


    "I actually checked it just now."


    Registering a website domain name in the United States does not require filing or reporting to the government. At the same time, the domain name registrar will also hide the information of the registrant to protect its privacy.


    Faced with this situation, there are only two ways to find out who is behind this website.


    The first is to go through formal channels, that is, to contact the domain name registrar of this recruiting website and ask them to hand over relevant information.


    But this situation is time-consuming and laborious, so Mona decisively chose the second method, which is to hack into the server of the domain name registrar and directly search for relevant information on this recruiting website.


    But unfortunately, Mona tapped the keyboard a few times, showed the information in the computer to everyone, sighed and said:


    "The registrant of this website domain name is a dead person who passed away three years ago."


    Lacey and Ryder immediately collapsed when they heard this.


    "fine."


    Roan saw the low morale of several people, grinned, patted Mona on the shoulder and said:


    "Isn''t this website still open? The phone number on it can be reached!"


    Hearing this, Mona and Lacey''s eyes lit up, and they looked at Roan and said in unison:


    "You mean, fishing law enforcement?"


    "Yeah."


    Roan nodded. Janelle and Jared said earlier that the other party blindfolded the girls and Tony took them to the house.


    "We can definitely arrest Tony at that time!


    Then interrogate Tony to find John and the place where they imprisoned the girls! "


    Ryder also reacted, grinning and clapping his hands, praising loudly that this is an excellent idea.


    This approach does not violate the FBI''s regulations, especially since their No. 5 investigator still holds the witness Janelle.


    But there is a problem before their eyes:


    Who will play the client?


    Mona is definitely not suitable.


    Lacey is not good either. Although she has rich experience in nightclubs, she is a woman after all.


    Roan has experience, can act, and is a man, he seems very suitable to play the client.


    But he had been on TV before, and there was no guarantee that John and Tony had seen the New York Daily News that day.


    Just in case, neither can Roan.


    The only thing left is Ryder.


    But Ryder also has a problem, that is, he is very bad at acting and disguising, but he is very good at fighting.


    And the other party must have some money bargaining with Ryder before Ryder and the woman start exercising.


    If the other party finds something is wrong during this process, then this task will definitely fail.


    So...the four of you look at me and I look at you, and fell silent for a moment.


    "An extra meal! An extra meal!"


    Just as Roan was scratching his head, thinking about whether to use the makeup technique taught to him by the old killer in his previous life, Augustus suddenly pushed open the door and walked in with a large box of hamburgers in his arms.


    Snapped-


    Throwing the burgers one by one to the technicians of the No. 5 investigation team, August finally walked to the four of Roan, handed the burgers, and asked with a grin:


    "Why, what problem did you encounter?"


    The four of them took the hamburger, looked at Augustus carefully, remained silent for a while, and finally turned their attention to the other three.


    They both saw the light in each other''s eyes.


    Seeing that the four of them were silent, Augustus frowned. Just as he was about to ask what happened again, Roan suddenly walked up to him, with a sunny smile on his face, and whispered:


    "Sir, do you know more about multiplayer sports?"


    Augus: "?"


    ��


    At nine o''clock in the evening, Augustus was sitting in a Buick outside a small villa at the intersection of Route 13 and Route 9 on Long Island.


    Roan and Ryder in full armor sat in a Chevrolet not far away, while Mona and Lacey in full armor sat in a car in the other direction.


    "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?"


    In the Buick car, Augustus was holding a small contactor to check whether the instrument was normal.


    "I can hear you, sir."


    Roan in the Chevrolet grinned:


    "Every word you said, we can hear it clearly!"


    Auguston, who understood Roan''s subtext, laughed and scolded:


    "Very good, Roan, it seems that you and Ryder can learn a lot of useful new knowledge from me today!"


    Roan chuckled:


    "Don''t forget Lacey, sir, watch out for her to find Vernis to sue you for discriminating against Lesbian!"


    "Don''t take me."


    Lacey in the other car rolled her eyes when she heard this:


    "Augus'' technology is not suitable for me!"


    "Not necessarily."


    In the Buick car, Augustus carefully sorted out his equipment and clothes, and said with a faint smile:


    "Let me tell you a secret, when I was young I looked even better than Roan!


    At that time, the ladies around me called me Mr. Heartthrob! "


    Mona, Ryder, Lacey: "��"


    The three were speechless, while Roan nodded in admiration.


    Sure enough, it was not without reason that Augustus became the leader.


    Bullets can''t penetrate this face!


    At this moment, a seven-seater station wagon suddenly drove here from afar. When Luo An and the others saw this, they immediately put the joke aside, and their faces became serious.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 161： I want it all!

    Chapter 161 I want them all!


    The station wagon slowly pulled to the side of the road, but no one got out of the car.


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this, while Ryder wondered if he guessed the wrong target.


    At this moment, Augustus''s phone on the communicator suddenly rang.


    There was a somewhat deep voice on the other end of the phone. After the other party remotely controlled Augustus to enter the small villa with the unlocked gate, the door of the station wagon was slowly pushed open.


    A total of six women with exquisite faces and curvy figures stepped out of the car in skirts that covered their hips.


    "Wow."


    Seeing this, Ryder silently clenched the gun in his hand, and said without any waves in his mouth:


    "If I knew about this mission, I would have done it myself."


    "I recorded this sentence."


    Roan in the driver''s seat of the Chevrolet frowned when he heard this, and while carefully inspecting the weapon, he said with a smile:


    "I''ll send it to Ivana later."


    Hearing this, Ryder''s movements and face froze, and he was silent for a few seconds. He asked in doubt:


    "Aren''t we on now?"


    "Wait a minute."


    Roan shook his head, pointed to the station wagon and said:


    "The other party''s car has not turned off, if you act now, the other party has a chance to escape successfully.


    Wait until Augustus leaves all six girls behind and the other party turns off the car, then we will act again! "


    Ryder, Lacey and Mona heard this, Qiqi nodded loudly:


    "no problem!"


    On the other side, the gate of the villa was slowly opened by Augustus.


    Seeing these girls who were about the same age as his daughter, Augustus felt very solemn in his heart, but there was still a surprised expression on his face:


    "Good evening, girls! Come on in!"


    "Good evening, Mr. Thomas."


    Thomas is the pseudonym of Augustus, out to play, no one uses the real name.


    Seeing that a black man with a big belly appeared in front of his eyes, all six women frowned.


    But the leading woman walked into the villa with a smile, and asked with a smile:


    "How is it, Mr. Thomas, are you satisfied with us?"


    "Of course I am satisfied!"


    Augus poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp, then rubbed his hands with an impatient look on his face:


    "What does the price say?"


    The girl headed by ?? did not answer immediately, but asked with a smile:


    "Tell me first, how many would you like to choose, Mr. Thomas.


    One, two, or three? "


    Augustus waved his hand:


    "I want them all!"


    Hearing this, the six girls raised their eyebrows, and the girl in the lead stopped talking nonsense and said directly:


    "Then you need to pay first, 1800 for one hour for six people, 3500 for two hours.


    Give me the money, and I''ll tell the driver, we''ve discussed it, and then..."


    Speaking of which, the girl licked her lips.


    "OK, no problem!"


    Acting in a full set, Augustus decisively took out a stack of US dollars from his pocket, counted them, and handed them to the other party.


    Seeing that the girl in the capital took out her mobile phone and started sending messages, Augustus turned and walked to the bathroom next to him, and said with a smile:


    "I''m going to take a shower, girls, just wait a few minutes."


    Outside the small villa, the man in the travel car took a look at his mobile phone, and then turned off the car. Seeing this, Roan had no nonsense, and immediately said to the communicator:


    "Action!"


    After receiving the order, Ryder, Lacey, and Mona, who were fully armed and had been waiting for a long time, immediately opened the door and got out of the car.


    Four people held Glock pistols, and on both sides of the touring car, they bent over and approached slowly in a vigilant posture.


    At this moment, the man in the car suddenly noticed something, his expression changed and he hastily turned the key to start the car.


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    Seeing this, Roan and Ryder didn''t talk nonsense, and immediately pulled the trigger to hit the front and rear tires of the car.


    poof��


    As the gas leak sounded, Lacey and Mona on the other side also ran to the car.


    Boom! Boom!


    Clah��


    The two women shot and smashed the front and rear glass of the touring car, then aimed at the man in the driver''s seat with a Glock in hand, and shouted together:


    "FBI! Hold on!


    Keep your hands on the steering wheel! Or we''ll shoot! "


    When the man heard this, he immediately turned to look at Lacey and Mona with a ferocious expression on his face.


    The second daughter also took this opportunity to see the man''s face clearly, which was exactly the same as Tony in Janelle''s simulated portrait.


    The words of Mona and Lacey did not make Tony choose to be caught without a fight. On the contrary, Tony opened his mouth with a ferocious face and let out a beast-like howl, then got up and rushed towards Mona outside the co-pilot window.


    Boom!


    Clah��


    But before Tony could completely leave the driver''s seat, Roan, who had already walked to the side of the car, smashed the glass on the driver''s door with a punch, and then tightly grasped the back collar of Tony''s fate:


    "What are you yelling?"


    Tony jumped forward and was forced to stagnate. Before he could react, Ryder opened the car door, and Roan took advantage of the situation to switch hands and pulled Tony out of the driver''s seat.


    Seeing Tony turn around and bite him, Roan frowned, and immediately threw him behind him with both hands, relying on the strength and direction of pulling him out.


    Under Roan''s terrifying power, Tony drew a beautiful arc in midair like a rag doll, and then slammed heavily on the hard road.


    Boom!


    Accompanied by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, I don''t know if it was an illusion, but Ryder felt as if he heard the sound of a fracture.


    Tony''s eyes were red, and he got up on the spot with a roar. Instead of running away, he raised his fist and rushed towards Roan again.


    Seeing Tony''s actions, Mona, Lacey and Ryder didn''t talk nonsense, and immediately aimed at Tony''s arms and thighs and pulled the trigger.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Shooting at such a close range, the bullets of the three of them all hit the target very accurately.


    But what shocked the three of them was that although Tony showed pain when he was shot, he still rushed towards Roan with clenched teeth and fists.


    "fine."


    Roan raised his eyebrows, signaling to the three of them that they don''t need to keep shooting. It''s more important to keep alive.


    Boom��


    Before Tony could react at all, he was punched heavily in the chest, and his chest suddenly sank.


    The terrifying force exploded in an instant, and Tony flew upside down, galloping all the way, and finally fell back to the place where he just landed.


    Different from last time, Tony no longer had the strength to get up this time.


    Although his eyes were still red, the depression in his chest was very obvious, and the severe pain from it was far beyond the limit he could bear.


    There were a few "ho ho" sounds in his throat, and Tony spit out a mouthful of blood, and finally his head tilted, and he passed out completely.


    The atmosphere in the room was silent, Mona and Lacey were stunned. They looked at Tony, who had fainted on the ground in front of him, and his sunken chest, and the images of that moment just now kept stirring in their minds.


    Next to ??, an extremely shocking scene completely shocked Ryder. Standing beside Roan, his eyes were wide open, his head was blank, so much so that he even forgot to breathe.


    Although Ryder knew that Roan was strong and powerful, he only had a rough guess as to how big and how big it was.


    But Roan''s performance just now clearly told Ryder that his guess still underestimated Roan. This strength is enough to box in a professional arena!


    "Call an ambulance!"


    Taking a deep breath, Roan withdrew his fist, told Mona and the others to call an ambulance quickly, and Tony still had clues not to die, while walking quickly to the small villa.


    "Wait a minute, Roan."


    Mona heard Roan''s order, and immediately took out her mobile phone without hesitation. Lacey and Ryder, who had reacted, saw Roan''s actions, hurriedly suppressed their shock, and asked loudly:


    "What are you doing in the small villa?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 162： 69 year old old master

    Chapter 162 The 69-year-old old master


    Looking at Roan''s back, Lacey asked loudly:


    "What are you doing in the cottage?"


    Roan didn''t look back, and replied as he walked:


    "I''ll go see Augustus and remind him not to make mistakes."


    Lacey, Ryder: "��"


    Seeing the speechless expressions on the faces of the two, Roan smiled, just making a joke.


    His real target was actually those six girls, especially the girl who was the leader with the phone.


    Maybe from the girl''s mouth, I can learn the location of the house where they were imprisoned.


    In the villa, Augustus was sitting upright, looking seriously at the six girls sitting on the big bed opposite him.


    The moment the gunshots rang out, the six girls suddenly paled, and subconsciously wanted to escape from the small villa.


    It took a lot of effort and effort for Augustus to calm their emotions.


    But unfortunately, because of the need for acting, Augustus did not carry documents related to the FBI.


    So no matter what Augustus asked them now, the girls clenched their fingers, lowered their heads quietly, and said nothing.


    Just as Augustus had his hands on his hips, the battle outside was over, and Roan knocked on the door and walked in.


    Entering the villa, Roan first reported the results of the operation:


    "Sir, the mission was successful, Tony was successfully arrested by us."


    "very good."


    Augus nodded in satisfaction, but there was no expression of surprise or shock on his face.


    It was just a small operation to ambush and arrest criminals in advance. With Roan''s previous performance, Augustus would be shocked by the failure of the operation.


    After briefly describing the situation of the girls in the room, Augustus patted Roan on the shoulder and said that the rest would be left to him.


    "no problem."


    Roan nodded decisively, looked at the girl in charge, and asked:


    "Where is the place where Tony imprisoned you?"


    The clothes, equipment, and text on Roan''s body are not decorations. This time, the six girls did not remain silent, and all answered Roan''s questions.


    Two girls secretly looked at Luo An while answering the question.


    The behavior of Roan blowing Tony away with a punch just now, the two girls could see clearly from the window, plus Roan''s handsome face in front of them...the eyes of the two girls were shining brightly.


    The girl headed said:


    "Tony took us into the car after blindfolding us. We didn''t know where that place was."


    Roan''s face remained unchanged. He had already guessed this from Janelle, and continued to ask:


    "After you got in the car, how long did Tony drive?"


    Several girls looked at me, I looked at you, discussed in a low voice for a while, and finally replied:


    "About forty-five minutes."


    "OK."


    Considering that Tony might drive around in circles, Roan was going to turn around and ask Mona to check the surveillance in this area carefully, and then continued to ask these girls questions.


    Hearing Roan mention the doctor who underwent breast augmentation surgery, the girl who saw him blowing Tony away with a punch just now raised her hand and said loudly:


    "I know his name!"


    "what is his name?"


    "Edward Mihailo!"


    The girl named the doctor and said that it was before the doctor performed breast augmentation surgery on her. When she was serving the doctor, she saw the driver''s license information in the doctor''s pocket.


    "Your information has helped us a lot, thank you very much."


    Roan took out a paper note and asked the girl to write down the letters of the name, then walked out of the villa quickly, and handed the paper to Mona.


    "Look up this guy."


    Roan said with a smile:


    "If we''re lucky, we can not only solve Tony''s big meal tonight, but also have dessert later!"


    "no problem!"


    After receiving the note from Roan, Mona ran quickly to the car not far away without hesitation.


    Just as young people in a few years cannot do without their mobile phones, Mona now cannot do without a laptop.


    Tapping on the keyboard with ten fingers, Mona quickly found the relevant information about Edward Mihailo:


    "This guy immigrated into the federation from Ukraine ten years ago and is 69 years old.


    Two years ago, his private clinic was shut down by the government due to financial problems, and he has been unemployed until now! "


    "A 69-year-old comrade, still so energetic."


    The figure of a martial arts master appeared in Luo An''s mind, he shook his head hastily, and asked:


    "Where does this guy live?"


    ��Just on the Queens East Side!��


    Getting the specific address, Roan and Mona were going to guard Tony and go to the hospital, and Ryder and Lacey immediately drove to the target location.


    At 11:30 that night, in a dark alley on a certain street in Queens, Ryder and Lacey successfully captured Edward Mihailo, who was discussing the meaning of life with a street machine girl.


    ��


    The next morning, No. 5 investigation team.


    Seeing Roan and Ryder coming out of the interrogation room, Lacey and Mona hurried up and asked:


    "How about it, did Edward tell John where they are hiding?"


    Last night, Mona carefully checked the surveillance cameras in the area around the villa, but the area was under development at this time, and many surveillance cameras were forced to stop working, and Mona found nothing in the end.


    Throwing the book in his hand on the table, Roan took a sip of coffee and sighed:


    "Adward wanted to say it, but he didn''t know."


    John is very strict about the location of the house. Every time he asks Edward to perform surgery on the girls, just like taking the girls out to serve, he blindfolds him in advance.


    For breast augmentation surgery, John is responsible for providing materials and tools, and Edward is only responsible for hands-on.


    The reward John paid Edward was not specific money, but the services the girls gave him at the beginning or end of the operation.


    After listening to Roan''s interrogation record, Lacey spat and cursed in a low voice:


    "Old scum!"


    Mona next to her turned her gaze to another interrogation room and asked:


    "What next? Continue to interrogate Tony?"


    "Yeah."


    Roan drank all the coffee in the cup in one gulp, and the bitter feeling rushed straight to his forehead, which made his brain wake up instantly. Then he looked at Mona and Lacey who were packing up, and said:


    "Lacey, interrogate Tony later, you and I will do it.


    Mona, I need you for a more important job. "


    Mona raised her head in doubt when she heard this.


    Roan explained:


    "The girls said last night that Tony drove for about half an hour to the villa.


    The locations mentioned by Jared are not far from there, plus the deep seaside pit that Janelle escaped from..."


    Hearing this, Mona widened her beautiful eyes and suddenly realized:


    "By intersecting the three areas with time, we can find John''s approximate hiding area!"


    Give Roan a look of "You''re so smart, why didn''t I think of that", Mona immediately sat at her desk and tapped the keyboard.


    Taking a deep look at Mona, Lacey silently lamented how fast she was improving, and then followed Roan closely to the interrogation room.


    At the door of the interrogation room, Lacey was about to open the door, but Roan suddenly reached out and grabbed her.


    "Um?"


    Lacey looked puzzled and asked:


    "What''s wrong?"


    After pondering for a while, Roan took Lacey to the other side a little far from the door of the interrogation room, and said in a low voice:


    "Lacey, you''re from intelligence, right?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 163： Interrogation and Acting

    Chapter 163 Interrogation and Acting


    Hearing Roan''s question, Lacey was a little puzzled, but she nodded:


    "Yeah, don''t you know this?"


    "I just wanted to make sure."


    Roan handed the folder in his hand to Lacey and explained:


    "Do you still remember the character traits of the guy Tony in Janelle''s narration?"


    "certainly."


    Hearing this, Lacey said with a serious face:


    "This guy Tony never uses words to persuade women who resist him, but directly beats them.


    This shows that Tony has a strong desire to control and advocates violence on the one hand.


    On the other hand, it also shows that Tony looks down on women, subconsciously thinking that women are weak and vulnerable. "


    Lacey stayed in the intelligence department for a long time, and through the actions and behaviors of the target person, analyzed the character and thoughts of the target person.


    Just not deep.


    But these are enough for Lacey to get along well in the night scene.


    Because of this, Lacey also saw some complicated state between Mona and Roan during this time, which neither party had noticed.


    After hearing Lacey''s narration, Roan added:


    "And the multiple wounds on the 22 corpses also show that Tony is very fond of sadism.


    This kind of person, if he faces a woman who has a higher status than him and has the initiative between the two parties, but is a little afraid of him, then he will only..."


    Before Roan finished speaking, Lacey''s face was full of surprise, and then she gritted her teeth and took the following words earnestly:


    "He''s only going to be more sexually aroused!"


    Roan nodded, and then said:


    "But this situation is also very beneficial to us."


    This means that Tony will let his guard down when facing the weak.


    "Exactly!"


    Close the folder in her hand, Lacey took a deep breath, looked up at Roan, and said in a deep voice:


    "Well, Roan, I will conduct this interrogation alone."


    Roan stared closely at Lacey''s eyes:


    "you sure?"


    Lacey looked dignified and nodded heavily:


    "I am sure."


    "OK."


    Seeing the firmness in Lacey''s eyes, Roan pondered for a few seconds and nodded in agreement, but did not forget to add:


    "Remember to turn on the surveillance video first after entering the room, I will keep an eye on it in the surveillance room next door."


    "no problem."


    In the corridor, Roan briefly wrote down some interrogation skills, language, and gestures in the folder, and handed them to Lacey.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan turned and pushed open the door of another room, and walked into the monitoring room, which he entered for the first time since joining the No. 5 investigation team.


    If it weren''t for this case, Luo An would have forgotten that the No. 5 investigation team still has such a room.


    After carefully reading the text written by Roan for a while, Lacey took a deep breath, put away the serious expression on her face, and slowly pushed open the door of the interrogation room.


    Roan has provided her with speaking skills, and the next step is to look at her acting skills.


    In the interrogation room, Tony sat in a wheelchair with a pale face, a bandage wrapped around his chest, and his hands were firmly handcuffed on the interrogation table.


    When Lacey entered the room, she didn''t look at Tony, but turned on the surveillance in the room according to the previous agreement.


    Not only that, after sitting on the chair opposite Tony, Lacey didn''t ask any questions immediately, but looked at the folder while peeking at Tony from the corner of her eye, with a somewhat uncomfortable expression on her face.


    Tony, who was still dark-faced at first, saw this scene, and his eyes suddenly showed a playful light.


    "Ahem, so..."


    After a long silence, Lacey coughed twice, her voice was trembling at first, but then gradually became firmer:


    "I''m in charge of interrogating you today, Tony."


    Tony stared at Lacey, and asked in a low voice:


    "May I ask your name?"


    Lacey shook her head subconsciously, but quickly reacted, and asked sharply:


    "I''m interrogating you, Tony!


    Tell me, what is going on with this case? "


    Seeing Lacey''s actions, the banter in Tony''s eyes became even worse:


    "Sorry, I have nothing to say to you."


    Lacey frowned, looked down at the text written by Roan, then fixed her eyes on Tony, and said in a deep voice:


    "Why don''t you say that? Isn''t that your hobby?


    You love torturing women and seeing them in pain, it��s something you can��t get enough of, right? "


    Tony didn''t answer, just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at Lacey quietly.


    "You tortured those women, and the feeling of being in control and doing whatever you want is what fascinates you.


    Especially the eyes and movements before their death, it makes you feel as if you are the **** who dominates them! "


    Following the process written by Roan in the document, Lacey continued:


    "But you screwed up one thing, you forgot that you''re not really a god.


    When you killed Janelle, you didn��t stab her directly with a knife as usual, but raped her in the car, we found relevant surveillance, and then you took her to the seaside����


    Hearing this, the corners of Tony''s slightly raised mouth disappeared immediately, and he knocked on the interrogation table angrily, and shouted:


    "You''relying (you are lying)!


    I have never raped a woman in a car! "


    After shouting, Tony saw the fear in Lacey''s eyes disappear, replaced by the same banter in his eyes, and then suddenly reacted.


    boom-


    Before Tony could speak, Roan pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked in, patted Lacey on the shoulder, and said with a smile:


    "Nice job, Lacey!"


    Lacey shook her head, expressing that the lines provided by Roan were superb.


    The surveillance video of the scene just now has all been recorded.


    When Lacey described it earlier, Tony was full of enjoyment and did not refute, but when Lacey told lies, Tony couldn''t sit still.


    For the jury in court, this has exactly the same effect as Tony''s confession.


    "you again!"


    Seeing Roan''s handsome face, Tony''s eyes turned red instantly, and subconsciously wanted to get up and rush towards him.


    Boom��


    But unfortunately, Tony''s hands were firmly handcuffed, and the murderer''s injuries were still not healed, so he was forced to sit back as soon as he got up.


    Sitting next to Lacey, Roan said without nonsense:


    "Tell me, Tony, where is that villa?"


    Tony''s face was grim: "Do you think..."


    "During the follow-up arraignment, the court will read my colleague''s written statement. You know, the media loves serial killers the most."


    Roan crossed his hands, interrupted Tony, and said directly with a blank face:


    "When John learned from the news later that it was your mistake that led to his illegal business being discovered, being targeted by the FBI, wanted by the FBI, and finally losing everything...


    What do you think John would have done if he had been living out of prison? "


    "..."


    Tony didn''t answer, but Roan told the final ending for him:


    "He''s going to have someone kill you in prison. You''re dead."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Tony''s face turned dark and purple.


    Although Tony is a pervert, he only likes to persecute and torture others. He is happy to kill others, but being killed by others...


    Silence for a while, Tony raised his head, gritted his teeth and looked at Roan:


    "Damn the FBI! I''m asking you to provide me with protection! Superlative!"


    Luo An was calm:


    "You tell me where John and the girls are now."

 Chapter 164： Shotguns and Concussion Bombs

    Chapter 164 Shotguns and shock bombs


    Long Island, a seaside villa area in the Bay Shore area.


    On the road outside the villa area, the mobile vehicle stopped slowly, and two heavily armed SWAT teams got out of the vehicle.


    Ryder was blowing the sea breeze, looking at the beach and sea shimmering in the sun in the distance, as well as the green vegetation in the villa area, he said while arranging his equipment:


    "I didn''t expect a guy like John to hide in such a beautiful place."


    Roan carefully checked the body armor and Glock 18 on his body, and laughed when he heard Ryder''s emotion:


    "You know, like in the movies, beautiful places always hide hidden evils."


    Before Ryder could answer, the voice of a SWAT team member suddenly came from the ears of the two:


    "Have arrived at the designated location, and found four adult men with guns on the first floor of the target villa, and the second floor is blocked by obstacles, the situation is unknown."


    "OK."


    and Ryder looked at each other, and the two put away the expressions on their faces, and Luo An said in a calm voice:


    "Team 1, enter the perimeter of the villa immediately, move to the designated position in the plan, and immediately rush into the villa to perform the task if the situation is right!"


    "receive!"


    After receiving the order, a team of members immediately broke into the lawn outside the villa in a guard posture without making any noise.


    Before they arrived at the designated location, the SWAT team member in charge of monitoring the scene suddenly shouted:


    "An enemy appeared on the second floor of the villa! We have been discovered!"


    "All go!"


    Hearing this, Roan immediately ordered the SWAT team to launch a storm, and he and Ryder rushed into the villa with guns in hand.


    boom-


    SWAT team members held a door hammer and slammed into the gate on the first floor of the villa, and the team members behind rushed in.


    "FBI!"


    "Do not move!"


    SWAT members holding rifles shouted slogans while holding rifles to quickly check every house in the villa.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Seeing that someone on the first floor of the villa dared to resist with a gun, the SWAT team did not talk nonsense, and directly pulled the trigger and shot him in the head.


    In a few seconds, the first floor of the villa was cleaned up, and Roan and Ryder also walked into the villa at this time.


    "Safety!"


    "Go! Go! Go!"


    SWAT members quickly rushed to the second floor, while Ryder stood on the first floor with some doubts.


    Tony said the girls were imprisoned in the basement, what about the basement?


    Carefully observing the first floor of the villa, Roan quickly set his sights on the large wardrobe under the stairs of the villa.


    At this time, the door of the closet was opened by the SWAT team members during the security inspection. Roan approached slowly with a Glock in his hand, stretched out his hand to push aside the clothes inside, and a door with a deflected direction appeared in front of his eyes.


    Ryder grinned when he saw this, gave Roan a thumbs up, and then raised his foot to kick open the door.


    But Roan reached out and stopped him.


    "?"


    Ryder was a little puzzled, and then he saw Roan take out two shock bombs from his pocket.


    "..."


    Ryder was speechless.


    Since Luo An came to the No. 5 investigation team, the equipment expenditures for each mission, shock bombs and bullets have become the bulk of the expenditure.


    Roan didn''t know what Ryder was thinking, and even if he knew, he didn''t care.


    Bullets have no eyes, and life is at stake. Using shock bombs to break down the enemy''s resistance in advance is undoubtedly the best solution.


    As for the capital expenditure of the shock bomb... Augustus is the leader of the No. 5 investigation team, what does he have to do with Roan.


    Augustus: "��"


    Looking at Ryder, Roan counted down to three, and then the moment the door was opened, he threw two shock bombs directly behind the door.


    Boom! Boom!


    "Fu-k!"


    Two shock bombs exploded successfully, followed by a man''s yelling and cursing.


    Ryder immediately rushed into the basement, where a man was lying on the ground with his eyes covered, rolling and crying.


    Kicked the man unconscious to relieve his pain, Roan bent down to pick up the shotgun next to the man, simply buckled it and showed it to Ryder, smiling:


    "Loaded and ready to fire."


    If Ryder really rushed into the basement with a gun just now, at such a close distance, the shotgun would definitely break the bulletproof vest on Ryder''s chest.


    The title of King of Melee Combat is not in vain.


    Expressed his gratitude to Roan in a low voice, Ryder looked at his pistol and fell silent.


    He is now a little suspicious of his combat experience in SWAT in the first half of his life.


    After dismantling the shotgun three times, five times and two times, Roan carefully looked at the basement in front of him.


    The area of ??the basement is only half the size of the first floor of the villa, but it is divided into three rooms.


    In one of the small rooms there was a commode, and in the other two larger rooms, there were women in scantily clad clothes.


    Just as Ryder bent over the man to search for the key to the room, a SWAT member walked in and said:


    "Sir, John has been caught by us under the bed on the second floor."


    "Good job."


    Roan patted Ryder on the shoulder, handed it over to him, and walked out of the basement to go upstairs.


    After more than an hour, the task was a complete success.


    Under the leadership of Roan, the SWAT operation team successfully killed six gangsters and captured the thief leader John, whose real name is Wasm-Turner.


    And rescued forty-one imprisoned girls.


    With all the witnesses and evidence, John and Tony opened the room directly in the prison.


    However, there is a chain of discrimination among prisoners in American prisons.


    Tony and John, two guys who trafficked and tortured women, had a very bad experience in prison.


    They do the dirty work in the prison, and they usually get slapped in the face, and people spit in the food.


    The real big thing is in the shower��


    ��


    Investigation Team No. 5.


    On the TV at the front of the office area, the government staff in the Long Island area were talking in front of a large number of reporters.


    [Serial Murder Case in Seaside Deep Pit] The spokesperson only used one sentence to cover the case of being detected. More topics are still related to local development and investment.


    As for the group of reporters, after the spokesperson finished his long speech, he decisively put aside the topic of investment promotion and began to ask about the specific content of the case.


    ��The media is always like this. When they meet a serial killer, they are so excited that they can��t sleep.��


    It��s time to get off work soon, Lacey complained while packing things ahead of time:


    ��But they always selectively ignore sex-related human trafficking cases.��


    Ryder took a sip of coffee calmly and said:


    "No way, they are the media after all, and they have to rely on eyeballs to make money."


    "More than that."


    Mona finished typing on the keyboard, closed the laptop, turned around and answered with a smile:


    "If we only look at the data comparison, as an ordinary person, the possibility of being murdered by the person next to the pillow is 17 times the possibility of being targeted by a serial killer.


    The media of course prefer to report small probability events. "


    Lacey nodded thoughtfully, and Ryder, who is married, asked with a serious face:


    "Mona, is your data accurate?"


    ����Isn��t this normal data?��


    Mona throws Ryder a pair of sanitation balls:


    "Which couple didn''t think about killing each other when they had a conflict?"


    "Forehead��"


    Ignoring Ryder who fell silent, Mona turned to look at Roan, who had been silent all this time, and asked doubtfully:


    "Roan, what are you thinking?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 165： Married for 20 years, daughter is 22 years old

    Chapter 165 Married for 20 years, daughter is 22 years old


    Roan looked away from the computer and replied with a smile:


    "I''m thinking about what to do in the next two days."


    After the case of Brent Hughes was solved, the bonus has not yet come down due to the intervention of the Financial Crimes Investigation Section.


    As for the [Serial Murder Case in the Deep Pit by the Sea], because it was just solved today, but tomorrow and the next two days are weekends, the rewards and bonuses will definitely not be distributed until next week.


    This week has passed, and the FBI does not work on Saturdays and Sundays.


    After hearing Roan''s words, the three of them who had just reacted immediately showed joy, and Mona and Lacey immediately got together and whispered.


    Considering that Mona never went shopping with other people, even if the other party was a woman, Roan guessed that the content of the discussion between her and Lacey was probably related to cosmetics.


    Because Lacey miraculously took out a lot of cosmetics.


    Roan was very jealous of this skill of hiding things.


    But he doesn''t have a different-dimensional space bag on his chest, so he can''t learn it even if he wants to.


    "Will you come to my house tomorrow?"


    Ryder next to him pushed the coffee cup aside, patted his chest and sent Roan an invitation to the barbecue party.


    Every two weeks, Ryder and Ivana will invite relatives and friends to hold a grand barbecue party on weekends.


    "Forehead��"


    Recalling the scene where Ivana asked herself to drink some more alcohol when she was still a little dizzy the next day when she was drunk last time, Roan''s head was full of black lines.


    The way the children of Texas treat others is too simple, and Roan is still a little uncomfortable.


    However, having wine and meat is better than lying dead at home. Roan thought for a moment, and was ready to agree. Augustus suddenly pushed open the door of the team leader''s office and walked out. He said in a loud, iconic voice:


    "Everyone, I plan to surprise my wife tomorrow and hold a wedding anniversary party! Everyone, please come if you are free!"


    "What?"


    "wedding anniversary?"


    Hearing the news, all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team exclaimed in unison.


    Augus patted his belly when he saw this, and said with a smile that tomorrow is just the 20th anniversary of his marriage, and his daughter is 22 years old, so he can just hold a party to celebrate.


    Lacey, Ryder and others all smiled and said they would attend on time, Roan nodded and agreed.


    But...Married for 20 years, daughter is 22 years old.


    Standing aside and scratching his head, this math problem is a bit difficult, Roan doesn''t know how to do it.


    ��


    The next day, at night.


    Roan arrived at Augustus'' home on time.


    Augus'' daughter is named Lula. Before coming here, to be honest, Luo An had some other thoughts about her life experience.


    But after seeing Lula''s face... Well, Lula has a good personality, and she looks like Augustus''s own daughter.


    Pregnancy out of wedlock does not seem to be a big problem for blacks.


    At least my father didn''t run away.


    After a few simple greetings, Roan found it a little awkward.


    Others brought their families.


    Including Lacy.


    She brought a new girlfriend who was abducted from nowhere.


    Others who were invited also brought their wives, children, girlfriends, and boyfriends.


    It seems that it is because it is weird to attend a party on a wedding anniversary without bringing someone with you.


    Just as Roan picked up a glass of wine and was about to chat with Mona, August''s wife Sirin came up.


    Sirene was very enthusiastic about Roan, she walked to his side with Augustus, and took the initiative to chat with Roan.


    No, it should be said that Sirin took the initiative to chat with Luo An.


    She first praised Luo Anchang for being handsome, and then kept making crude insinuations, asking if Luo An had a girlfriend and how his private life was.


    And his daughter Lula doesn''t have a boyfriend yet, and how Roan feels about his daughter Lula.


    Roan felt a little embarrassed, Augustus was also embarrassed, Lacey covered her mouth and laughed, Mona was speechless.


    Augus felt that his wife was a little rude on the one hand, and on the other hand, Augustus had a clear understanding of his daughter''s appearance.


    Cough cough.


    Augus used continuous small actions to remind his wife, but it seemed to have no effect. Fortunately, the arrival of a new guest diverted everyone''s attention.


    Head Dillon from the Organized Crime Investigation Unit, Agent Norton, and an unknown youth.


    Seeing Dillon walk into the room, Augustus hastily strode up to meet him, hugged him, and slapped him on the back hard:


    "Good evening, old man!"


    Seeing this, Dillon, not to be outdone, also laughed and patted Augustus on the back forcefully:


    "Happy Anniversary, Augustus!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The loud muffled sound from the two slapping each other''s backs made everyone present feel black.


    Roan took advantage of the situation and left Sirin, walked up to Agent Norton and started talking.


    "Good evening, Norton."


    "Good evening, Roan."


    After taking the wine handed to him by the other party, Norton looked at Roan''s handsome face, and while chatting with him, he was very moved.


    The last time I got to know Luo An because of an undercover serial murder case, Detective Norton discovered that Luo An was a great talent, and he also had the idea of ??abducting Luo An to their Organized Crime Investigation Section.


    But after expressing his thoughts, Team Leader Dillon finally chose to refuse because of Augustus.


    Detective Norton felt very sorry about this. The leader said that he would naturally not abduct Roan in private afterwards.


    However, Norton still chose to establish a good relationship with Roan, such as going fishing together.


    Though what Roan said that day he forgot to wear his helmet, so just kept watching him fishing.


    After the fishing incident was over, Norton hadn''t contacted Roan very much in recent days because a gangster at hand started making trouble.


    When he finally finished his work and came back to his senses and was about to invite Luo An out for a drink together, he actually heard that Luo An had been promoted from an ordinary agent to a senior agent!


    Hearing the news, the first reaction in Norton''s mind was impossible.


    Let��s not talk about how long it took for Roan to become a full-time agent from a trainee agent. It took several years for Norton to be promoted from an official agent to the current senior agent!


    Why did you Roan be at the same level as me so quickly?


    Through various methods, Norton found out that Roan had solved the [Bank Serial Robbery Case], [Bombing Case at the Gate of the Federal Prosecutor''s Office], [Press Conference Bombing Case], [Park River Male Corpse Case], and yesterday Roan had solved the [Serial Murder Case in Deep Pit by the Sea].


    Although he didn''t know the specific content and details of the case, Detective Norton remained silent when he saw the number of cases.


    Then he wished he could run into the team leader''s office and beat up Dillon:


    Their Organized Crime Investigation Section faces vicious, insidious and cunning gangsters every day. Brainy and skilled detectives like Roan are exactly what they need.


    Why did you refuse before? Why not **** Roan away from Augustus?


    But thinking about it, Norton still didn''t dare to tear Dillon apart, so he could only sigh silently with a sad face.


    Team Leader Di Lung actually regretted it very much, and wished he could travel back in time and give himself a slap in the face.


    He knows more about the situation than Norton, such as the CIA Mrs. Heloise who didn''t win the resurrection match.


    But Roan was promoted to a senior agent, and Augustus watched Roan tightly like protecting a baby, and now Dillon can''t abduct Roan even if he wants to...


    In a word: Regret!


    Roan didn''t know what Norton and Dillon were thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn''t care.


    Is it not good to work under such a beautiful chief as Vernis?


    Why do you want to change places?


    After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Norton, Roan turned his gaze to Norton, the young man he didn''t know.


    Since entering August''s house, the young man has been staring at himself.


    Roan and Norton clinked wine glasses and asked:


    "Can you introduce the agent next to you?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 166： jealousy and trance

    Chapter 166 Jealousy and trance


    Hearing Roan''s question, Norton said that the agent next to him was named Brentin, who was a billiards player in college and is now a new agent in their investigation team.


    Because of his good ability, Team Leader Dillon valued him, so he was also brought to this party today.


    "Hello, Brentin."


    Stretched out his hand and shook the other party, Roan asked directly with a smile:


    "Am I wearing the wrong clothes? Why do you keep staring at me?"


    "Excuse me."


    Brundin bowed his head and apologized, picked up a glass of wine casually, expressing that he was just curious about Roan.


    Brundin didn''t say what he was curious about, but the other party immediately looked away and left here.


    There was a gleam in Roan''s eyes, and he continued to chat with Norton.


    The party officially started, and the guests wandered around. Augustus''s home was not luxurious, but in a small two-story building, all kinds of facilities were available, and there was even a gym.


    Judging from Augustus'' big belly, the user of this gym most of the time should be his daughter Lula.


    Although Lula''s face is a bit reckless, her figure is even more reckless. It looks like the kind of regular exercise.


    There are a lot of guests today, the living room feels a bit crowded, and many people have gone to the gym.


    At the invitation of Ryder, Roan and Norton also went. They went to do some exercise and try the equipment there.


    Unexpectedly, Brundin also came. He walked directly to the billiards in the corner of the gym, scratched the table with his hand, and looked at Roan with a smile:


    "This table is well maintained, do you want to come and have a look?"


    "American pool?"


    "right!"


    Brundin is not bad at all, and he picked up a cue and made a handsome gesture, which immediately attracted the attention of many female guests.


    Roan''s expression remained unchanged, but thinking of Brentin''s apology just now, he already understood from the bottom of his heart.


    Obviously, Brentin wanted to use him as a stepping stone to play handsome.


    As for the reason for doing this... Roan glanced at his side, staring at Brentin''s Norton.


    If he guessed correctly, Norton or Dillon should have mentioned themselves in front of Brentin.


    Roan guessed right.


    Brundin does get a little jealous of Roan.


    Since he entered the Organized Crime Bureau, Norton or Dillon would criticize him every time he made a mistake in his work.


    If it was pure criticism, Brentin would not have other ideas, and he must admit that he made a mistake. He knew this.


    But every time after being criticized, Norton or Dillon would mention the name "Roann" and then sigh and regret it.


    No one likes to be judged by their parents or superiors. Compared with other people, Brentin is naturally jealous and curious about "Roan".


    But after learning from Detective Norton the number and time of Roan''s cracked cases, Brentin fell silent.


    He is indeed not as good as Roan, and there is no comparison.


    Being able to join the Organized Crime Investigation Section and being valued by Dillon, Brentin naturally has qualified psychological and emotional regulation skills.


    So in the following work, Brentin chose to cast aside jealousy, accumulate himself a little bit, make fewer mistakes, and improve himself is the kingly way.


    But when I attended this Party today, the jealousy in Brentin''s heart still popped out:


    It doesn��t matter if you are good at solving crimes, why are you still so popular with women?


    In the whole party, besides Lacey, Roan was the second most popular. Many women like to join Roan''s side.


    Compared to the ability to solve the case, Brentin estimated that he is not Roan''s opponent in ten.


    But playing American billiards is different, and ten Roan can''t be his opponent.


    Brundin just wants to show off his superb skills and crush Roan to realize his sense of vanity.


    Coupled with the fact that there were many female guests as spectators, the sense of vanity became even stronger.


    Looking at the billiards on the table, Roan was silent for a few seconds, patted Agent Norton on the shoulder beside him, and agreed with a smile:


    "Okay, but you need to explain the rules."


    Roan doesn��t know much about American billiards, but he is very clear about Chinese billiards and is also very skilled.


    After all, some rich people like to play ball games, such as 10 million balls, and finally get a female star into the hospital or something...


    The old killer in his previous life had carefully taught Roan the content of this kind of ball games.


    After proficiency in playing ball, Roan learned more about killing people with the club and the ball itself.


    Seeing Roan nodding in agreement, Norton, who also reacted, walked up to Brentin, slapped Brentin on the shoulder, and said with a cold snort:


    "Roan doesn''t know much about American billiards, let him do it!"


    "certainly."


    Brundin smiled, seeing more guests noticed the scene here, not only explained the rules to Roan seriously, but also set the ball professionally, and finally pointed to the billiard ball with a graceful smile and said:


    "You come first, I can guide you if you make a mistake."


    "OK."


    Roan grinned, picked up the cue and fiddled with it a few times, and directly used the greatest strength to knock all the diamond-shaped billiard **** away.


    Bump��


    After the billiard **** on the table tumbling for a while, one of them miraculously fell into the hole.


    "good!"


    "Roan, amazing!"


    Norton and Ryder next to him, including Lacey, Mona, Lula and Sirin who walked in, all applauded for Roan''s direct goal.


    Blondin on the side also smiled and applauded, it''s just the luck of the novice.


    Roan got up and asked with a smile:


    "Can I play another ball number now?"


    "right!"


    Brundin nodded indifferently.


    Roan glanced at the table, bent down again, and the next ball to hit was a blue ball.


    People next to them frowned when they saw this, because there was a red ball next to the blue ball, which blocked half of the route, making it difficult for the blue ball to enter the hole.


    "The ball is blocked."


    "Yeah, it seems that the ball will be handed over to Brentin."


    Roan waved his hand, aimed at the cue ball and poked hard.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    There are three consecutive impact sounds, the cue ball hits the blue ball, the blue ball hits another red ball, the red ball bounces off the edge of the table, hits the blue ball again, and then knocks the blue ball into the hole.


    "..."


    The audience next to him were dumbfounded.


    Augustus reacted the fastest, he laughed loudly with his belly out:


    "Roan! You are so lucky!"


    The others laughed too.


    Only the smile on Brundin''s face was slightly stiff.


    He felt like something was wrong.


    Roan didn''t speak, and continued.


    The next target is the yellow ball,


    Boom!


    Successfully entered.


    Followed by the red ball.


    Boom!


    Enter again.


    Roan hit the billiard **** consecutively in order and performed a miracle vigorously. Several consecutive **** all went directly into the hole, and finally only the No. 9 ball was left.


    ������~~~


    Seeing this scene, everyone applauded again and all laughed loudly:


    "Hahaha, Roan is so lucky!"


    "Amazing! Roan!"


    "so amazing!"


    "This kind of ball can go straight in!"


    A few ladies next to him simply shouted:


    "Come on, Roan! Score the last goal and beat Brentin!"


    They also know that Brentin is a front ball player.


    Blondin, who was standing aside, saw this scene, held on to the cue, and stood stiffly in place, a little suspicious of life.


    But before he could react, Roan successfully hit the No. 9 ball into the hole.


    Boom!


    At the moment when the voice sounded, Brentin, who had been a spectator the whole time, was in a trance.


    Everyone around gave all the applause to Roan, and the familiar Ryder and Lacey came over and said:


    "Roan, you actually cleared the table with one shot!"


    "This is the first time I know that you play billiards so well!"


    "How about you stop working in the FBI and go to work professionally!"


    Amid the crowd''s pursuit, Roan was very low-key, waving his hand to show that it was all luck, and then looked back at Brentin with a sunny smile on his face:


    "How about it, Brentin, continue?"


    Brundin: "��"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 167： Afterward rewards and unexpected new cases

    Chapter 167 Subsequent rewards and sudden new cases


    Monday, Investigation Team No. 5.


    Except for Mona who slept directly in the investigation team, the other agents have not come to work yet.


    Roan came early today. He was sitting on a chair, checking the light blue system page in his mind.


    In the past few days, the system gave him good and excellent evaluations most of the time.


    After the rough treasure chest opening animation in the web game every day, most of the potions that are opened from the system treasure chest are stamina potions, strength potions, and swift potions.


    For this kind of medicine that can add a little bit of basic attributes every time, Luo An always asks for as much as he wants, never too much.


    During the two nights when the [Park River Male Corpse Case] ??and [Seaside Deep Pit Serial Murder Case] ??were detected, in addition to the above three potions, the system treasure chest also opened a hemostatic potion, an antidote potion and a bottle of new potion:


    Featherfall potion.


    There was no instruction manual, and Roan didn''t know what the Featherfall Potion meant, so he had to temporarily put it in the warehouse.


    If you open another bottle in the future, drink the next bottle and try to see the specific effect.


    Since he got into the habit of pouring himself a few bottles of Stamina Potion, Strength Potion and Swift Potion after breakfast every day, although Roan had prescribed a lot of potions, there were not many left in the warehouse.


    At this time, in Luo An''s system warehouse, there are 2 bottles of antidote potion, 3 bottles of hemostatic potion, 1 bottle of strength potion, 1 bottle of swift potion, 1 bottle of weakness potion, 1 bottle of water lung potion, 1 bottle of fire resistance potion, and 1 bottle of newly opened feather fall potion.


    There was originally a bottle of sleep potion in the storage column.


    After attending August''s wedding anniversary party on Saturday night, Roan went to the barbecue party held by Ryder''s house on Sunday.


    As Roan expected, a lot of unseen Texas faces came to the party.


    These people came here because they heard about Roan''s arm-wrestling last time.


    With the blessing of Strength Potion and Stamina Potion, Luo An is naturally not afraid of these red necks in front of him.


    After a round of battles to win everyone, Roan successfully promoted from a good half-brother in Texas to a half-brother whom Texas had never seen in the first half of his life.


    Roan: "..."


    Several NYPDs gave Roan a card after he won everyone.


    This is a certificate issued by the NYPD Police Department to some police family members.


    If these police family members accidentally made a small mistake, as long as they show proof and the situation is not serious, NYPD will let them go.


    America''s human society is not only deeply rooted, but also directly on the surface.


    Give Roan this proof, mainly because these NYPD rednecks heard about Roan''s love for drag racing.


    With this card, even if Roan drives a Chevrolet racing car when there is no mission in the future, as long as there is no accident, the NYPD will not come to trouble him.


    After receiving the card, Roan was very happy, and the only problem was that this group of people could drink too much.


    Roan Greenwood''s drinking capacity is average. Even with the blessing of various medicines, the drinking capacity does not mean that it will increase if it is improved.


    What''s more, a lot of red necks took turns to pour him wine.


    In the later stage, he couldn''t drink it anymore, and the group of people refused to let him go. Roan had no choice but to pour the sleeping potion into the wine barrel while they were not paying attention.


    Half an hour later, the noise of the group of drunkards completely disappeared, replaced by snoring that soared into the sky.


    Seeing this, the red-necked wives threw their husbands into the trunk one after another, kicked the accelerator and drove home...


    ��


    Not long after, just when Roan calculated that there were still a few days before the system treasure chest would give out US dollars again, Lacey pushed open the door of the No. 5 investigation team and walked in.


    Snapped!


    Throwing a few packs of Roan''s favorite breakfast on the table in front of Roan, Lacey whispered:


    "Good job!"


    "?"


    Roan raised his head, his face full of bewilderment, and then suddenly remembered something, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he shook his head hastily:


    "I never touched you!"


    Roan has no sexual interest in Lesbian.


    "...crap!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Lacey was stunned, and after realizing it, she gave him a hard look.


    Let go of her hand, Lacey took out a business card and stuffed it into Roan''s pocket, and said with an unhappy face:


    "If you don''t want to struggle and want to reach the sky in one step, just make this call!"


    Luo An''s face became more suspicious, he picked up his business card and asked:


    "Who is this?"


    Lacey snorted coldly:


    "She''s the girl I brought with me to the party at Augustus'' house, Diana."


    At the party on Saturday night, when Roan asked Brentin if he wanted to continue, Brentin was silent for a while and chose to continue, and in the follow-up process, he made several fouls.


    That is to use the rules reasonably to block Roan''s advancing ball with his own ball.


    The men present felt that it was normal to use the rules rationally for the outcome of the competition, but the ladies were not so rational, and complained one after another to express their dissatisfaction.


    So in the end, although Valentine won two out of three rounds against Roan, all the ladies present ran to Roan''s side to comfort Roan.


    One after another said that Valentine, who was a former athlete, bullied Roan, an amateur player, was a big bully and was too despicable.


    Valentine wants to cry but has no tears, and feels uncomfortable when he wins and loses.


    Lacey''s female companion, Diana, was also one of the ladies who comforted Roan.


    After the party that night, Lacey and Diane went to a hotel and then��


    fought on the bed.


    Because they both thought that the other was Ling and they were Yi.


    After more than an hour of fighting, Lacey suffered a tragic defeat and was forced to open for business.


    After a long time, Diana ate the post-event fruit with a full face, and then suddenly approached Lacey and made a request:


    Call Roan, she wants to discuss techniques with Roan.


    Don''t get me wrong, the technique here refers to American pool.


    Diana''s family is very rich, and her brother is also a world-renowned American pool player.


    Diana herself naturally had a spiritual pursuit when she was not short of money.


    That is, I want to be like my brother, who is famous all over the world for his American billiards.


    But she has mediocre skills and lack of talent, so she finally chooses to delegate her life goals:


    Marries an American pool player.


    Roan is not an American pool player, but he knows the skills of American pool and has a handsome face.


    Although it was a man, Diana didn''t care, men and women didn''t matter to her.


    "..."


    After listening to Lacey''s narration, Roan''s eyes were filled with the word speechless.


    Too lazy to care about this kind of woman who eats both men and women, and has no idea of ??being a son-in-law, Luo An casually threw the card into the trash can.


    After pondering for a long time, Roan coughed lightly, and approached Lacey to ask a question.


    That is based on Lacey''s experience, why didn''t she distinguish the other party''s role this time?


    Roan is a little curious, he wants to learn something new.


    Boom!


    At this moment, the door of the No. 5 investigation team was suddenly pushed open, and then Augustus''s loud voice rang out:


    "Everyone! A new case came suddenly!"


    It is not yet the specific working time. In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Roan, Lacey, Mona, and Augustus are staring at each other.


    "This time it''s considered overtime, and I will pay overtime pay later!"


    Seeing the empty office area, Augustus twitched the corner of his mouth, but fortunately the key figures to solve the case were all there, so he said without nonsense:


    "A judge in the New York court was killed ten minutes ago! You go to the scene to check the situation now!"


    "Yes, sir!"


    Hearing that there was still overtime pay, Roan got up with a serious face, dragged Lacey into the equipment warehouse, and then immediately drove to the scene of the crime.

 Chapter 168： [Female Judge Shot Dead in front of Bakery]

    Chapter 168 [The case of the female judge being shot and killed in front of the bakery]


    The crime took place on Manhattan Island, not far from the Jacobs Federal Building. Roan and Lacey arrived at the target location in just a few minutes.


    The SUV parked slowly on the side of the road. Roan and Lacey unfastened their seat belts and jumped out of the car, walking quickly to the bakery opposite.


    The body was lying next to the car in front of the bakery.


    "Hi, I''m Roann Greenwood..."


    Seeing the cordon pulled up by NYPD, Roan subconsciously prepared to take out the golden badge in his pocket and introduce himself.


    But as soon as the words were spoken, the NYPD detective on the opposite side turned his head, walked over and patted Roan on the shoulder:


    "I didn''t expect it to be you, Roan, this case was actually handed over to you!"


    Seeing the smile on the police detective''s face, Roan also laughed:


    "So it''s you, Detective Walton!"


    Detective Walton is a standard Texan. He happened to attend the barbecue party at Ryder''s house with Roan yesterday, and even broke his wrist with Roan.


    After losing to Roan by arm wrestling, it was Detective Walton who gave Roan the card that only NYPD family members would get.


    Introduce Lacey''s identity, and briefly reminiscing with Detective Walton, Roan glanced at the corpse covered in white cloth on the ground, and asked:


    "What''s the situation at the scene?"


    "The victim''s name is Carolina Belloz, 65 years old this year, and one of the judges in the New York court."


    Speaking of business, Detective Walton looked serious and put his hands on his hips:


    "That''s why this case will be handed over to you."


    The murder of a judge is not a small case, and the NYPD decisively chose to hand over this case to the FBI.


    Roan bent down and lifted the white cloth to check the condition of the corpse. Lacey continued to ask:


    "Did something get stolen?"


    "Looks like not."


    Detective Walton shook his head:


    "Mobile phone, wallet, identification, cash, and handbag are all there, and no missing items were found."


    Lacey''s face remained unchanged:


    "It does not appear to be a murder of passion sparked by a robbery."


    "Exactly."


    Roan beside the corpse nodded in response, then his eyes lit up, and he moved to the side of the car.


    Picking up two obviously used bullet casings from under the car, Roan smiled and got up and handed them to Detective Walton:


    "Please send someone to send them to the federal building later."


    "OK."


    Detective Walton nodded in agreement, and at the same time pointed to the white youth surrounded by several NYPD not far behind, and said:


    "He was the caller and an eyewitness to the incident."


    Roan and Lacey thanked Walton and immediately walked to the white youth.


    "I was planning to come to this bakery to buy something to eat just now."


    Seeing the FBI golden badges displayed by Roan and Lacey, the young man immediately replied:


    "Just after I passed the corner of the street, I heard two gunshots. When I saw someone shot and fell to the ground, I quickly called the police."


    "You''re doing really well."


    Lacey took out a small notebook, and expressed her affirmation to the youth while recording, while Roan continued to ask:


    "Did you see the appearance of the shooter?"


    "No."


    The white youth shook his head, indicating that the murderer was wearing a mask, so he couldn''t see his face clearly.


    "But the guy was wearing blue jeans, a black jacket, and a gray hoodie."


    The young man immediately added, and pointed to the east of the bakery:


    ��After the shot was fired, the guy just ran towards there.��


    Hearing the youth use "He" to describe each other, Roan continued to ask:


    "Are you sure that guy is a male?"


    "Exactly."


    The young man said that the murderer yelled before shooting, it was a man''s voice, and he couldn''t have heard it wrong.


    "What did the murderer shout?"


    "There are two sentences in total, I didn''t hear the first sentence clearly."


    The young people spread their hands together:


    "The last sentence shouted: Now it''s your turn."


    "Wow."


    Hearing this, Lacey stopped writing, and Roan crossed his hands and hugged his chest:


    "Looks like a revenge case."


    ��


    Investigation Team No. 5, Roan and Lacey participated in the meeting discussions via mobile phones.


    Augus stood at the front of the office area, holding a folder, loudly introduced the basic information of the victim, then looked at William, and asked:


    "Anything else to add?"


    "Carolina Belloz has been a judge for six years."


    William sat on the workstation and said while typing on the keyboard:


    "But most of the cases she has been in charge of in the last two years have been related to appeals in prison."


    "So what she faces are criminals in prison."


    Augustus closes the folder:


    ��Has the victim received threatening letters or been followed?��


    "There is a case on record."


    Mona tapped the keyboard a few times, looked up and said:


    "Fourteen months ago, a gang member threatened Carolina by sending bullets.


    But less than a month after the gang member was released from prison, his head was chopped off because of a fight between gangs. "


    "An unlucky fellow."


    Augustus�� cell phone rang suddenly, he turned and walked into the meeting room, Roan said on the other end of the phone:


    "The death of a gang member does not mean that others have no hatred with Carolina. Some people can bear to take revenge on her after they are released from prison."


    "Yeah."


    All the detectives of investigation team No. 5 nodded in unison.


    Although the West does not have the original saying that a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, but there are also the same sentences, with the same meaning.


    "Continue to investigate the case that Carolina has handled recently."


    Luo An was sitting in the car, remotely controlling the direction of the next investigation by the agents of the No. 5 investigation team, and then asked:


    "Mona, how is the surveillance around the crime scene doing?"


    "Only the camera in the flower shop next to the bakery recorded a little bit of the incident, and the surveillance in other places did not find the murderer."


    Mona showed the monitoring screen to the agents of the No. 5 investigation team, but Roan and Lacey couldn''t see it, so she briefly described the situation in the monitoring, and finally concluded:


    "Carolina was driving a Jaguar, so it can be deduced that the murderer is about 1.8 meters tall.


    As for other content... Sorry, the clarity of the flower shop''s surveillance is average, and the murderer is still wearing a mask, so I can''t find any other useful information for the time being. "


    "OK."


    Roan didn''t say much, he pondered for a few seconds, and continued to ask:


    "How is the victim''s family, such as financial status, marital relationship, etc.?"


    Mona tapped the keyboard a few times quickly, then frowned:


    "Karolina''s husband died in a car accident two years ago, and her two daughters are a lawyer and a coffee shop owner.


    But the lawyer''s daughter suddenly disappeared a year ago and her whereabouts are unknown.


    The daughter of the coffee shop owner became addicted to drugs two years ago, and died of a drug overdose six months ago. "


    "What?"


    After listening to Mona''s description, and then thinking of the murderer''s words "Now it''s your turn", all the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team were startled, and Lacey in the SUV also became suspicious.


    Roan was silent for a moment, and asked with a serious face:


    "So, Carolina''s family is now extinct, right?"


    "No!"


    Mona on the other end of the phone reported an address and said:


    "Carolina Belloz has an older sister living in this world. For nearly a year, she has been living with Carolina."


    "OK."


    Let Mona and the No. 5 investigators dig deep into all the information about Carolina. Roan hung up the phone, started the SUV, kicked the accelerator, and rushed out in the direction of Carolina''s sister''s house.

 Chapter 169： fingerprint

    Chapter 169 Fingerprints


    Upon learning that her sister had been attacked and died not long ago, Carolina Belloz''s sister, Annez Belloz, sat in a wheelchair and wept silently.


    Seeing the seventy-year-old man in front of him sobbing and crying, Lacey hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it over.


    Waiting for An Liz''s mood to gradually stabilize, Roan asked in a low voice:


    "Can you tell me about Carolina?"


    After a long silence, An Liz sighed again and again:


    "Carolina is a good person, she is a kind person, and she has never had conflicts with other people in her life."


    It doesn��t matter whether this is true or not, anyway, Lacey took out a small notebook and wrote it down, and Roan continued to ask:


    "In the past few days, do you feel that Carolina is a little anxious, a little worried, or something else is wrong?"


    "No."


    An Liz shook her head again and again:


    "Everything has been pretty normal these days, so I''m in total shock and don''t understand why someone would kill her..."


    Seeing that the old man in front of him was out of breath, Lacey hurriedly poured her a glass of water, and comforted her while smoothing her back:


    ��We understand that this kind of thing is never easy to accept.


    But we need to know more information about Carolina, only in this way can we catch the murderer who killed Carolina. "


    "I know I know��"


    Drinking the water that Lacey handed over, An Lizi calmed down again. After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly remembered something, looked at Roan and said seriously:


    "Last week, because of my handicap, Carolina said she would hire me a nanny.


    But she was afraid that the nanny would not work well, cheat her or bully me, so she asked someone to install surveillance cameras in various places in this apartment, and the lawn outside the house also has..."


    Hearing the news, Lacey''s eyes lit up immediately, Roan didn''t talk nonsense, he got up and asked:


    "Where is the monitoring terminal?"


    Not long after, the surveillance footage appeared in front of Luo An.


    After excluding those blank and useless clips, Roan successfully found a guy wearing a mask in the record on Friday afternoon.


    This guy is wearing the exact same mask that was worn by Carolina''s killer.


    Looking up and looking at Lacey, Roan immediately exported the monitoring records, and then asked An Liz:


    "do you know him?"


    Looking at the screenshot of the photo in the video, An Lizi nodded after thinking for a few seconds:


    "I don''t know him, but I''ve seen him.


    He wandered around this apartment many times a few days ago, and he exuded a weird feeling. When I was sitting on the lawn basking in the sun, he kept staring at me. "


    Luo An heard the words and hurriedly asked:


    "Then did you see his face clearly?"


    "No, he was wearing a mask all the time, just like in the photo."


    An Liz suddenly came to her senses, looked at Roan eagerly, and asked:


    "Is he the one who killed Carolina?


    Damn it, I should have thought of that, I always thought he was a bum.


    I should have said it sooner, told Carolina the news earlier so she wouldn��t����


    While talking, Anlizi sobbed again, Roan sighed when she saw this, and Lacey took out a tissue to comfort her again.


    ��


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    Roan sat back on the workstation, picked up the coffee and took a sip.


    The bitter feeling went straight to his brain, and Roan pursed his mouth, wanting to ask Augustus, when the money has arrived, when will he replace the coffee machine.


    "OK, this is the person camping outside Carolina Belloz''s apartment."


    After sorting out the surveillance video brought back by Roan, Mona quickly made a comparison picture with the murderer at the crime scene:


    "According to the comparison of the height of the trees outside the apartment, the height of the two people is the same, the walking posture is also very similar, and the center of gravity is on the right heel."


    "very good!"


    Augus patted his belly and nodded in satisfaction:


    "It seems that this guy should be the murderer who killed Carolina Belloz.


    He planned this case in advance, then monitored Carolina to understand the laws of her daily life, and finally implemented his plan this morning. "


    "But, I can''t find the identity of this guy."


    Mona''s ten fingers danced quickly on the keyboard, and the crackling sound was endless, but a few minutes later, Mona still sighed in disappointment, looked at Augustus and said:


    "This guy was wearing a mask the whole time, and the surveillance cameras near Carolina''s apartment couldn''t see his face clearly.


    And I haven''t found any signs of the other party driving. Every time that guy walks into a park, he disappears completely. "


    "this��"


    Hearing what Mona said, Augustus frowned, then looked at William and the others, and asked loudly:


    "How is it? Have you found someone who might threaten Carolina or have a grudge against Carolina?"


    "Sir, there are too many people."


    William and others had wry smiles on their faces. Carolina Belloz was a judge and handled dozens of cases every day.


    Even if those ordinary civil cases are discarded, the cases that Carolina handles every day can fill more than a dozen pages.


    Looking for suspects from the perspective of hatred alone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.


    Augus also thought of this, and the expression on his face became even uglier.


    A judge was shot to death, which caused a huge impact. Many media, large and small, in New York have turned their attention to this.


    In the past, the team leader Vernis was standing in front of him, so Augustus didn''t panic.


    But now Vernis is still lying in the hospital, Augustus naturally needs to be the top of himself.


    Thinking of the messy media who dare to ask anything, and the attention of the special agent director Corbett, Augustus is under great pressure.


    But as the leader of the No. 5 investigation team, resisting pressure itself is what he should do, so Augustus did not choose to transfer the pressure to agents like Roan and Mona, but chose to bear it all by himself.


    Silent for a while, Augustus turned his gaze to Roan, who was bowing his head in thought, and wanted to ask him what he thought next.


    At this moment, Ryder pushed open the door of the investigation team and walked in.


    "Sir!"


    Seeing all the agents turn their eyes to him, Ryder raised the folder in his hand and said with a smile:


    " Of the two shell casings that Luo An picked up at the scene of the crime, the trace inspection department detected half a fingerprint on the back of one of them.


    Using the database, we managed to match a guy: Alvar Miller. "


    "Good job!"


    Augus patted his big belly happily, gave Roan a pair of appreciative glances, and then looked at Mona.


    Mona has always been very reliable, and quickly found out the suspect''s information and showed it to everyone:


    Avar Miller, 43 years old this year, participated in several wars when he was young.


    After retiring and returning to the federal territory, he has been in and out of prison for a lot of crimes such as shooting, threatening witnesses, drug crimes, and intentional injury.


    The time spent in prison is far longer than the time outside.


    After reading the information, Roan immediately got up and took Ryder to the equipment warehouse after learning of Aval Miller''s current address from Mona.


    In the equipment library, Ryder did not use the extended magazines of the Glock 18 as usual, but replaced them all with shock bombs.


    Even the number of shock bombs that Led took was more than that of Roan.


    Roan on the side: "..."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 170： Two guns to the chest and one head

    Chapter 170 Two guns to the chest and one gun to the head


    The place where Alvar Miller lives is in the west of the Bronx, a place called the Fordham community.


    Here are mainly Latinos and blacks, whites account for a part, and almost no Asians.


    In addition, the rate of teenage mothers in this area is also higher than other areas and communities in New York.


    Later generations, here is known as one of the top ten dangerous areas in New York. After entering the night, the NYPD does not like to come to this area. The simple folk customs, freedom and harmony can be seen from it.


    However, the daytime scene of this area looks okay.


    Roan, who was fully armed, drove Ryder into the community and saw many roadside stalls selling things, and some black children running around on the street.


    "Be careful later, Roan."


    Seeing the relaxed and calm expression on Roan''s face, Ryder, who was sitting in the co-pilot, silently grasped the Glock 18 in his hand, and said in a low voice:


    "The NYPD is not welcome in this area, let alone the FBI."


    Ryder said that he is not a racist, but it is an indisputable fact that the crime rate is high in places with many black people.


    The Fordham community is not very big, but there are more than a dozen black gangs.


    "Don''t be nervous, Ryder, you have to trust the equipment on both of us."


    Roan turned the steering wheel and drove the SUV into another street, smiling and patted the weapon on his body.


    As usual, Roan was wearing a combat uniform at this time, with a plate-carrying vest on his chest, 10 shock bombs and 10 extended magazines in several bags on his waist, and two Glock 18s in his holster.


    Ryder''s equipment is similar to Roan''s.


    Evaluate the skills of the two of them again. As long as those gangsters are not at the same time and the same place, and ambushed the two of them beforehand, the remaining problems will not be very big.


    Seeing the calmness on Roan''s face, Ryder''s mood gradually calmed down.


    The bullet is the centering stone, and the equipment on the body is even more iron.


    The current No. 5 investigators all have subconscious confidence in Roan, and Ryder is no exception.


    After moving forward for a few minutes, the SUV slowly stopped beside a dilapidated two-story building.


    Push the car door and get out of the car. Some passers-by saw Roan and Ryder in full armor and decisively chose to leave here and take a detour.


    One of the survival wisdoms of living here is not to be curious + stay away from troublesome things that seem to be dangerous.


    This small building is a hotel. Ryder opened the door and entered. Just about to ask the black boss at the front desk, Roan sniffed his nose, frowned, looked around the layout of the hotel, and pointed his pistol at him.


    "???"


    Ryder was taken aback for a moment, and immediately raised his pistol subconsciously.


    But the moment Ryder raised his arm, although the black boss didn''t know why he was exposed so quickly, he chose to do it without hesitation, and immediately took out a pistol from under the table.


    Bang Bang!


    boom!


    Three shots were fired, and as soon as the black boss made a move, Roan pulled the trigger decisively.


    Two bullets hit the chest, and one bullet hit the head. The black boss closed his eyes and collapsed backwards on the ground.


    "Ryder!"


    Successfully sent away the black boss, Roan quickly dragged Ryder to hide behind the front desk.


    bang bang bang��


    Sure enough, in the next second, a series of bullets were shot from the stairs, hitting the position where the two were standing just now.


    Ignoring the slippery feeling brought by the blood of the black boss, although it is not clear what happened, Ryder, who is experienced in combat, immediately raised his pistol and fired back at the opponent.


    Not only that, Ryder also learned Roan''s craft, taking advantage of the gap, took out a shock bomb from his waist and threw it over.


    Boom!


    Dazzling white light and deafening explosions suddenly erupted in the stairwell, and there was a burst of wailing from the enemies who shot.


    "Good job!"


    In the notes on the desk at the front desk, Roan, who successfully found the room where Aval Miller lived, patted Ryder on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then reached out to motion him to look at the cabinet he had opened.


    Ryder looked back, and there was a dead Latino girl lying in the cabinet.


    Obviously, this girl is the front desk of the hotel.


    "The smell of blood is too strong, my nose is more sensitive."


    Explained casually, facing Ryder''s admiring gaze, Roan told the room where Aval Miller was, and then whispered:


    "Call for backup, quick fix."


    "OK!"


    Received the order, Ryder immediately pressed the communicator, Roan jumped up and jumped over the front desk.


    At this time, on the stairs, there were several black youths lying on the ground and howling, and several black youths were bending over to pull them upstairs.


    Seeing Roan''s figure, the expressions of several black youths who were bending over to pull him changed, and they all raised their weapons towards Roan.


    Before these people could react, Roan threw another shock bomb towards the stairs the moment he stepped out of the table.


    Boom!


    The moment the shock bomb exploded, Roan immediately pulled the trigger of the Glock 18.


    bang bang bang��


    A series of gunshots rang out, and watermelon juice was immediately sprinkled on the stairs.


    Ryder completed the task of calling for support at this time, and ran to Roan''s side.


    Standing at the stairs on the first floor, Roan threw two shock bombs upstairs again, then raised his left hand and waved it, no nonsense:


    "You left and I right!"


    "no problem!"


    Ryder stood in front of Roan, rushed up to the second floor, shot down the two black men who were about to attack him, and then moved towards the rooms on the left side of the second floor.


    Roan walked up to the second floor expressionlessly, hid by the wall at the stairway, pointed his gun at the ground and was knocked down by Ryder, but the black man with the gun who didn''t know if he was dead or not, pulled the trigger and chose to make up the knife.


    The other party still had a gun in his hand, and Roan didn''t want himself and Ryder to be backstabbed by these guys because of their negligence.


    However, Roan made up the knife not on the heads of these black men, but on their left and right chests.


    After today''s incident is over, he and Ryder will definitely be questioned and investigated.


    If the knife shoots these people''s heads and smashes them, then some guys who have been eyeing Roan for a long time will accuse him of his tongue.


    Luo An always likes to look a few steps forward when doing business.


    Especially now that Vernis is still lying in the hospital.


    Replaced with a new magazine, Roan disappeared in a flash, and checked every room on the right side of the corridor at a fast speed.


    There was no one in the front rooms, until Roan was getting closer to the room where Alvar Miller was, when a burly black man with a short gun suddenly jumped out.


    Seeing Roan, who was a head shorter than himself, the burly black man grinned.


    The flames from the muzzle roared out.


    Bang Bang!


    boom!


    Three shots were fired, and the face of the burly black man froze.


    The next moment, the strong black man''s hands and feet were numb, and he lost control of his limbs. The short submachine gun that hadn''t had time to fire fell to the ground powerlessly.


    Looking at the strong black body, Roan blew on the muzzle of the Glock 18, bowed his head and spit:


    He looks so ugly, why are you laughing?


    Walked into the room in a vigilant posture, and there was a white man shot in the chest lying on the ground, and the windows of the room had been completely shattered.


    The white man is not Aval Miller, but his face is somewhat similar to him.


    Going to the window, checking the shards of glass and finding that it was from the inside to the outside, Roan judged that someone should have jumped from the room and escaped here.


    Roan turned around, and just bent down to check the injury of the white man on the ground to see if he was dead, when the man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, struggled and whispered:


    "Help..."

 Chapter 171： mental status assessment

    Chapter 171 Mental Status Assessment


    Right at this moment, Ryder, who was on the left side of the second floor after checking, also entered the room.


    "Call an ambulance quickly."


    The white man''s face was somewhat similar to Aval Miller''s. Thinking of the messy situation at the scene, Roan immediately judged that he was of great use and could not die here.


    "OK."


    Seeing that Ryder pressed the contactor and began to briefly describe the situation here, Roan tilted his head and thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found a phone number, and dialed it.


    ��


    A few hours later, the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    After repeatedly confirming that Roan''s body was not injured, Mona let out a long breath.


    Slapped Roan''s arm hard, Mona sat back at her desk, and read out the relevant information about Roan''s rescue of the white man:


    ��That guy��s name is Edwin Miller, Alvar Miller��s second cousin.


    This year is 40 years old. He was a soldier when he was young. After returning to the Federation, he has no experience in prison.


    But his recent financial situation is very bad, because of his ex-wife and son, he needs to pay 3,000 US dollars a month for maintenance.


    But he just lost his job last month. "


    After listening to Mona''s narration, Roan smiled and sat back on his chair. Lacey came over, put her arms around Mona''s slender waist, and said in a low voice:


    "Hey, Mona, Ryder was also a participant in the shootout just now, why don''t you ask him about his situation?"


    Mona rolled her eyes, gently broke away from Lacey''s embrace, glared at Roan, and said in a low voice:


    "Ryder has Yvonne to care about."


    Hearing this, Lacey smiled even more. Just as she was about to speak, Augustus suddenly opened the door and walked in.


    Behind him were two white men in suits and leather shoes, holding folders in their arms, a man and a woman with expressionless faces.


    Seeing the man and the woman, all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team stood up with frowns and turned their eyes to Ryder and Roan.


    Mainly Roan.


    "It''s the Security Department of Human Resources."


    Lacey frowned: "But why are they here now?"


    Just like the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the NYPD, whose job is to supervise the police in the NYPD and punish those who violate the rules and laws, the job of the security department in the Human Resources Department is to supervise the agents and officers in the FBI.


    are all unpopular departments.


    Just now, the two senior FBI agents, Roan and Ryder, were not SWAT members, but killed a large number of enemies together. Afterwards, he will definitely be questioned by his security department to judge their mental state.


    The detectives of the No. 5 investigation team had long been mentally prepared for this kind of thing.


    But the inquiries are usually after the case is solved, not when the current case is just halfway through the investigation.


    "what is going on?"


    All the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team cast doubtful looks at Augustus.


    Mona also gave Roan a worried look.


    Augus didn''t say much, he just gave Roan a look, and then waved his hand:


    "Roan, Ryder, go with them."


    "Okay, sir."


    Hearing what Augustus said, Roan and Ryder looked at each other and nodded in agreement.


    Patting Mona on the back, Luo An threw a smile at the agents and left the No. 5 investigation team office area calmly.


    Seeing the backs of Roan and Ryder leaving, Lacey clenched her fists with a solemn expression.


    Looking back at Mona, she found that Mona sat back on the chair and tapped the keyboard again.


    Lacey was slightly taken aback when she saw this, and hurriedly asked:


    "Mona, you..."


    "Trust Roan."


    The moment she saw the smile on Roan''s face, Mona let go of the stone in her heart.


    She knew that Roan never did anything unprepared.


    But that being said, Mona is still the same as Lacey, her eyes are fixed on the door of investigation team No. 5.


    ��


    Human Resources Department, Security Department, Interrogation Room.


    The security department is next to the training department. When Roan stepped out of the elevator, he also saw Old York, the senior agent of the training department (Chapter 3)


    Sitting on a chair, looking at the agent across the table, Roan had a strange expression.


    In the past, he was the one who interrogated others, but now being interrogated by others feels quite strange.


    "Hello, Agent Roann Greenwood."


    The white man in a suit and leather shoes put the folder on the table, and introduced his and the woman''s identity with a blank expression:


    "My name is Nordin and her name is Nettie from Human Resources Security."


    "Hi everyone."


    Roan nodded with a smile.


    The two sides exchanged simple greetings, and soon Nuoding got to the point.


    "Detective Greenwood, according to the subsequent investigation by the Trace Inspection Division, there were 13 corpses at the crime scene, and 9 of them were killed by you, right?"


    Counting the two corpses that were repaired, the number is correct.


    But Roan didn''t answer, nor nodded, just crossed his legs and asked with a smile:


    "Then what?"


    Seeing Roan''s actions, Nettie''s face changed, his eyes widened, and he said sharply:


    "Agent Luo An, you..."


    "Ahem."


    Before Nettie finished speaking, Nuoding coughed twice, and then continued to say expressionlessly:


    "Since you killed too many enemies in a short period of time in this case, we now need to evaluate your mental state.


    Please listen carefully to the questions I said next, and then answer Yes or No. "


    After speaking, Nuoding opened the folder, took out a piece of paper, and asked the first question.


    Seeing this scene, Nettie opened his mouth, wanting to say something but didn''t dare to say it.


    Fixed his eyes on the face of Agent Notting on the opposite side, and then thought about the eyes of Augustus just now. After a long silence, Roan suddenly laughed, then put away his legs, and began to answer the other party''s question.


    A few minutes later, Agent Notting nodded in satisfaction, drew a big tick on the paper, then stood up and extended his hand to Roan:


    "Congratulations, Agent Luo An, you passed this mental state assessment, thank you very much for your cooperation."


    "Thank you, Agent Notting, you have worked hard too."


    Stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party. Roan cast a glance at the flushed Nettie next to him, pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked out with a smile on his face.


    In the corridor, Ryder had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Roan coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.


    Based on past experience, Ryder judged that he would be questioned for several hours no matter what.


    He didn''t understand why it was so fast this time, he felt like he came out as soon as he sat down.


    In the interrogation room, through the door glass, I saw Roan patting Ryder on the shoulder and striding towards the elevator with a smile on his face. Nettie finally couldn''t help it, and turned around and asked with a flushed face:


    "Sir! What the **** is going on! This doesn''t comply with our regulations at all!"


    Randomly stuffed Roan''s mental assessment test questions into the file folder. Hearing Nettie''s question, Nuoding raised his head expressionlessly, took out his mobile phone and handed it to the other party.


    "This is the call from our deputy director."


    "..."


    Nettie froze and froze in place.


    Not only that, Nordin also pulled down the phone record, pointed to another phone number and said:


    "This is a call from Washington."


    Hearing this, Nettie was shocked, and his eyes widened...


    Seeing that Roan and Ryder returned to the No. 5 investigation team so quickly, Mona breathed a sigh of relief, and Lacey and the others stood up in shock:


    "Why did you come back so soon?"


    Hearing this, Roan sat back on his chair and said with an unhappy face:


    "Why, you still want me to stay there for a few days."


    "That was not what I meant��"


    Lacey hurriedly waved her hand, at this moment, Mona suddenly turned around and said:


    "Everyone, I have found out the identities of the black people killed by Roan!


    Not only that, Edwin Miller just woke up, he said that he has important clues, and hopes to see the FBI soon! "


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 172： All villains

    Chapter 172 All villains


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    Everyone looked at Mona in unison, waiting for her next words.


    ��The group of blacks were members of a small black gang in Fordham, the Cigar Gang.��


    Mona tapped the keyboard a few times to show everyone the information in the computer:


    "Agent Norton from the Organized Crime Investigation Section sent me a document just now.


    It shows that the "Cigar Gang" is trying to expand its rule area recently. "


    Roan picked up the coffee and took a sip:


    "It''s really not unexpected."


    "Yeah."


    Mona nodded, then suddenly laughed:


    "But because of you and Ryder, the "Cigar Gang" may soon be destroyed."


    Roan paused:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Others also showed doubts when they heard this.


    Mona didn''t make a fool of herself, and explained directly with a smile:


    ��The ��Cigar Gang�� was just established, and the number of people is not large.


    A large part of the people you killed were key members of the "Cigar Gang".


    Now that the core members are dead, the boss of the "Cigar Gang" has recently offended many other gangs in the nearby area in order to expand their territory, so..."


    All the agents suddenly realized, and then looked at Luo An with admiration again.


    Roan frowned, he didn''t expect this action to have such an effect.


    He intends to go back and chat with Norton of the Organized Crime Bureau, see if there is anything he can get.


    However, the fight between the gangs can be put aside for now, and the case of the murder of a female judge in hand is the most important thing now.


    So Roan looked at Mona and asked again:


    "Find out those guys from the "Cigar Gang", why did you meet with Alvar Miller in the hotel?"


    "No."


    Mona shook her head, saying that she didn''t find out, but Edwin Miller was already awake, and he must know the reason behind it.


    ��


    In the hospital, hearing Roan''s question, Edwin Miller, who was lying on the hospital bed, endured the pain from the wound, and explained with an ugly face:


    "It''s because Aval is doing business with those niggas!"


    Edwin said that some time ago, Aval did not know where to get a batch of weapons, and then planned to sell them to the "cigar gang".


    Today is the day when Aval and the Cigar Gang meet to discuss the price.


    Meeting in the hotel was also Aval''s idea.


    But unexpectedly, as soon as they met today, the group of **** pulled out their guns and pointed at Aval and Edwin, intending to exchange the lives of their brothers for these weapons.


    "..."


    Lacey, who was standing aside, was speechless.


    But when you think about it carefully, this kind of behavior is also in line with the behavior habits of black people.


    Luo An is not surprised by this. When doing business with gangsters, one must always be prepared for the idea that the other party will eat gangsters.


    Especially when the other party was just established, a gang composed of low-level blacks.


    After scratching the small notebook a few times, Luo An asked:


    "You said earlier that you had important clues to tell us. What are the clues?"


    "Sunder-Diane, ****"


    Hearing Roan''s question, Edwin immediately reported a person''s name and a series of numbers, then gritted his teeth and said earnestly:


    "This is the false identity that Aval bought, and the social security number of this false identity.


    You must catch him and send him to jail! "


    Edwin is a veteran. He fought for this country when he was young, and after returning home, he has always obeyed the laws of this country.


    But some time ago, he lost his job and could not pay the high alimony on time.


    No way, Edwin chose to rely on his cousin who had been in and out of the prison these years, hoping to make some extra money with his help.


    What pleased Edwin was that Avar agreed without hesitation, and showed him everything without treating him as an outsider at all.


    But what made Edwin angry was that the reason why Avar didn''t treat him as an outsider was that he didn''t want him to live at all, but regarded him as a human shield for this transaction.


    The two met with the Cigar Gang today, and Edwin was very nervous when he learned that the Cigar Gang planned to cheat, but Aval did not panic at all.


    Hearing gunshots from downstairs, Aval immediately pushed Edwin to the gunpoint of the Cigar Gang, while he broke the glass and jumped off the second floor to escape.


    "..."


    After listening to Edwin''s narration, and then looking at his dark face, Roan and Lacey looked at each other, and they both saw the speechless expression in each other''s eyes.


    It is indeed Aval Miller who has been in prison more times than going home.


    Written the name and social security number in the small notebook, Roan was silent for a few seconds, raised his head and briefly described the general situation of the judge being shot and killed outside the bakery, and then asked:


    "Beside the body, we found two 9mm bullets with Avar''s fingerprints on them.


    What does this case have to do with Aval? "


    "..."


    Edwin Miller opened his mouth and said nothing, bowed his head in silence.


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this, and Lacey''s face became serious.


    It seems that there are other situations behind this.


    After hesitating for a long time, Edwin licked his chapped lips and looked up at Roan and Lacey:


    "Before I say this, I ask you to grant me full immunity in this case."


    Lacey raised her brows, she didn''t expect Edwin to be involved in this case.


    She turned her head to look at Roan, only to see Roan put away the notebook and grinned:


    "Then it depends on whether the information you mentioned is useful.


    If the information you say will allow us to break this case, we will fight for you in front of the judge. "


    "...OK."


    After being silent for a while, Edwin let out a long breath and said in a deep voice:


    "I once stole ten pistols and a bunch of ammunition there after Avar showed me the weapons he had acquired.


    And secretly sold them behind Avar''s back. "


    The reason why Edwin asked Roan and Lacey to grant him immunity is because he is concealing it now, and after the FBI catches Aval later, he will still reveal the truth.


    Because although Aval has been in and out of prison many times, he has never sold a gun alone, and it is the first time he has negotiated with the Cigar Gang.


    On the other hand, it was Edwin Miller who loaded the gun.


    Legally speaking, he was an accomplice in the murder.


    Telling this matter now, Edwin still has reason to talk to the judge in court.


    If the FBI still finds out the matter if it has been concealed, then Edwin will be in trouble later.


    At the age of forty, Edwin revisited the torture of life and death again, and now he just wants to live well for the rest of his life.


    After listening to Edwin''s description, Lacey rolled her eyes.


    Emotions In the whole story, there is not a single good person.


    Roan didn''t care about it, and asked directly:


    "Do you remember those guns and ammunition, who were they sold to?"


    "certainly!"


    Edwin nodded:


    "I am very cautious about this matter. I use paper and pen to record the time and place of every transaction."


    "Good."


    Throwing the notebook to Lacey, Roan patted his thigh and stood up from the chair:


    "We need this notebook."


    Edwin is very cooperative:


    "no problem!"


    ��


    That night, due to the seriousness of the case and more social attention, the No. 5 investigation team was forced to work overtime.


    As for Aval Miller, the No. 5 investigation team handed over his information to the special task pursuit department under the major event corresponding team, and they went to hunt down the other party.


    After receiving the customized big burger thrown by Augustus, Roan took a bite, looked at Mona, and asked:


    "Well, did you find anything?"


    Mona shook her head, she was looking.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Patting Mona on the shoulder, Roan was just about to hand her another hamburger, when William not far away suddenly slapped the table and shouted excitedly:


    "I found a clue!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 173： sin in the fridge

    Chapter 173 Evil in the refrigerator


    The sudden sound and movement startled everyone, Lacey almost spilled the coffee in her hand.


    Roan threw a bite of the burger on the table, and walked quickly towards William:


    "What did you find?"


    "We found a car!"


    William typed a few times on the keyboard, and then showed the computer to Roan.


    Inside are screenshots of several surveillance videos.


    "According to the transaction records you brought back, several of our technicians carefully checked the surveillance video near the transaction location."


    Picking up the big burger and taking a bite, William explained with a smile on his face:


    ��Near one of the transactions, we found an orange pickup.


    Then we looked up the area near the bakery where Carolina Belloz was killed, and the area near the apartment where her sister lived.


    This orange pickup was around when Carolina was killed, and when the guy in the mask was around the apartment! "


    Once is a coincidence, twice is an accident, but not necessarily three times.


    "Good job!"


    Slapped William on the shoulder hard, Roan immediately pulled Ryder into the equipment warehouse, and asked at the same time:


    "Who is the owner of the car?"


    "The owner of "Henry Plank Works"!"


    ��


    At half past six in the afternoon, fully armed Roan and Ryder arrived at the board factory.


    At this time, it was time to get off work, and there was no one in the factory, only the boss''s office was still lit.


    According to Mona''s investigation, the wood panel factory''s financial situation is not very good, and it seems that it will close down in a few months.


    Boom boom boom��


    "Come in!"


    The bald wood board factory owner was looking at the financial statements in front of him with a sad face.


    Hearing someone knock on the door, he let people in without looking up.


    Then he saw Ryder in full armor, pointing at himself with a Glock 18.


    Shua!


    The bald boss'' face changed suddenly, and he immediately stood up and raised his French military posture.


    After a while, knowing the purpose of Luo An''s visit, the bald boss immediately sat back on the chair and let out a long breath.


    "That car is indeed my car."


    The bald boss flipped through the employee information with trembling hands and explained:


    "But for work, that car has been driven by my staff lately."


    Picking up the financial statement on the table and looking at it, Roan frowned and asked:


    "Who''s driving? What''s his name?"


    "Joe Landry."


    Successfully found a piece of information, the bald boss handed it to Roan and said:


    "A guy who makes people feel at ease."


    After receiving the information, Roan looked at the photo above and found that it was a rather handsome white man.


    Signaling Ryder to send the above information to Mona, Roan asked:


    "Doing things makes people feel at ease? How to say?"


    The bald boss said that his factory''s finances were handled by Joe Landry and his company''s finances, which saved him a lot of money every month.


    Looking down at some details of the financial statement in his hand, Luo An smacked his lips when he learned that the factory''s financial accountant was the boss''s own daughter.


    Cheating does not distinguish between nationality, let alone gender.


    Didn��t say much, making sure that Ryder sent all the information to Mona. When Roan was about to leave here, he didn��t forget to leave the bald boss��s own contact information, and added:


    "If Joe Landry ever contacts you, or comes to you, call me immediately.


    But also don''t tell him we''ve been here, OK? "


    "OK."


    The bald boss nodded and agreed. Before the office door was closed, he said loudly:


    "I don''t know what Joe Root did to get your FBI''s attention, but trust me, he''s a good guy!"


    "..."


    Roan paused, shook his head, and strode away with Ryder.


    After you catch Joe Landry, contact the bald boss and ask him to find a third-party accountant to audit his factory''s accounts.


    ��


    "Joe Root Landry, 30 years old, was born in Brooklyn, New York, and never went to college."


    The pitch-black SUV was galloping fast under the light of the street lights, and Mona on the other end of the phone was typing on the keyboard while carefully introducing the relevant information about George Landry:


    "As a young adult, Joe Landry was in the military, four years as a Naval Scout, and in a lot of war.


    After retiring from the military, he took the accounting certificate with his own efforts.


    Currently living in Queens with a bedridden mother. "


    "Very good, it looks like a well-trained soldier who successfully returned home from the battlefield after completing the mission."


    Turning the steering wheel, driving the SUV to easily overtake in the traffic flow, Roan continued to ask:


    "But we still don''t know why he killed Carolina.


    Mona, have you found the connection between Jorgen and Carolina?


    Judging from the scene of the crime, Carolina doesn''t look like someone who was randomly selected, and Qiao Gen''s life state and thinking don''t look like those guys who take revenge on society. "


    Mona on the other end of the phone didn''t look very good-looking. She frowned and replied while typing on the keyboard quickly:


    "I don''t know, I''m still looking into it."


    The clues to the orange pickup were first found by William and his technical agents, and Mona is a little upset now.


    But Mona is not targeting William and the others, but herself.


    "OK, let me know if you find it."


    Hung up the phone, turned to Ryder, who was sitting in the co-pilot, and saw that he was fastening his seat belt silently. Roan grinned and asked:


    "Well, Ryder, do you have any ideas?"


    "No."


    Ryder shook his head:


    "According to the information, George Landry has nothing to do with this case. Did we find the wrong person?"


    "Maybe."


    Driving the SUV past a car again, Roan suddenly remembered something, took out his phone again, and called Lacey.


    After a few seconds, the call is connected:


    "This is Lacey."


    There is no extra nonsense, Roan said directly:


    "Lacey, take the photo of Joe Landry immediately, go to the hospital to find Edwin Miller, and ask if he is the one who bought the gun."


    "OK!"


    Hung up the phone, Lacey immediately got up and left the No. 5 investigation team.


    A few minutes later, Roan and Ryder arrived at Joe Root Landry''s home smoothly.


    Parked the SUV diagonally opposite the house, Roan and Ryder carefully checked the equipment on their bodies, and after making sure everything was fine, they opened the door and got out of the car.


    Boom boom boom��


    Standing at the door from left to right, Ryder knocked on the door and shouted:


    "FBI! Is anyone home?"


    Quiet, no one answered.


    Roan tentatively fiddled with the doorknob, and the door of the house was opened by him smoothly.


    Looking at each other, they both raised the Glock 18 in their hands, and quickly entered the house.


    Quickly searching every room in the house from left to right, Roan quickly found an old woman lying on the bed in the leftmost room on the second floor, eyes closed and sleeping soundly.


    Recalling that there was a paralyzed mother in the George Landry data, Roan stepped forward to test her breath, making sure that she was just sleeping, not dead.


    At this moment, Ryder''s shout suddenly came from downstairs:


    "Roan! Come to me!"


    Hearing this, Roan hurriedly ran into the basement of the house in the direction of the sound, and asked at the same time:


    "What''s wrong?"


    Ryder didn''t answer, but pointed to the corner of the basement with a face full of shock.


    Following Ryder''s finger, Roan saw a refrigerator in operation.


    There is a frozen head in the freezer.


    If it was just a head, it wouldn''t have shocked Ryder so much. After all, he had seen this kind of scene in previous cases.


    What really shocked Ryder was that the head was very similar to Joe Root Landry''s face.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 174： Six photos, four red crosses

    Chapter 174 six photos, four red crosses


    In the basement.


    Roan walked to the refrigerator, checked the other compartments of the refrigerator, and found that there was nothing, the huge refrigerator was only for freezing this one item.


    Walking to Roan, Ryder carefully looked at the faces in the refrigerator, with a complicated expression:


    "Roan, what do you think?"


    "have no idea."


    Roan shook his head, and the scene in front of him also exceeded his expectations.


    But seeing the similar face of the head and George Landry, Roan had several guesses in his heart.


    But guesses are guesses, and evidence must be found.


    Thinking of this, Roan took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call.


    One is to ask the No. 5 investigation team to quickly send SWAT team members to this area to guard, maybe they can catch Joe Landry later.


    The second is to call the trace inspection department, let them come here to process the head, and search the house for evidence.


    Before Luo An pressed the phone button, the sound of the door being opened suddenly came from above the two of them.


    Ryder and Roan looked at each other, without speaking, immediately raised the Glock 18 and rushed out in a vigilant posture.


    "FBI!"


    "Don''t move!"


    It was not Joe Root Landry who appeared in front of the two, but a middle-aged white woman.


    Seeing the weapons in Roan and Ryder''s hands, the white woman hurriedly dropped her pockets and raised her hands in horror:


    "I''m the babysitter here!"


    A few minutes later, Roan and Ryder successfully verified the nanny''s identity and made sure that the other party was not lying.


    After briefly appeasing the nanny, Roan began to ask questions about Joe Landry.


    The nanny didn��t know much about Joe Root Landry. She just came here at a few fixed times every day to help Joe Root Landry��s mother deal with hygiene problems, and worked at other people��s homes for the rest of the time.


    As for Joe Root-Landry''s mother has been sleeping, the nanny said that it was because his mother had some mental problems and needed to continue to take medicine, and the side effect of the medicine was to fall into a deep sleep.


    After listening to the nanny''s narration, Roan continued to ask:


    "When Joe Landry asked you to be a babysitter, did he specify any requirements in advance?"


    "It does."


    The nanny nodded. Joe Root Landry had said in advance that she was not allowed to go to other rooms except the mother''s room, bathroom and kitchen.


    The nanny didn''t care about this kind of request. She had been a nanny for more than ten years, and it was not uncommon for her to see more outrageous requests than this.


    Hearing this, Roan suddenly remembered that he was called to the basement by Ryder just now, and he hadn''t had time to search Joe Landry''s room.


    After briefly explaining a few words to the nanny, Roan and Ryder immediately got up and walked up to the second floor.


    The rightmost room on the second floor is George Landry''s bedroom. In addition to a large bed and wardrobe, there is also a desk and a bookshelf.


    The two searched carefully for a while, and Ryder managed to find a few Playboy magazines under the bed.


    "Fu-k!"


    Seeing the white genetic gene in the magazine, Ryder looked ugly, cursed inwardly and hurriedly threw the magazine aside.


    Feeling that his hands were not clean, Ryder took a deep breath, turned around, and found that Roan was carefully looking at the bookshelf.


    "What''s the matter, Roan."


    Ryder took out a piece of toilet paper to wipe his hands, and hurriedly asked:


    "what have you found?"


    "Yeah."


    Roan nodded, and he found that the bookshelf is movable.


    Ryder''s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly moved away from the desk. Roan also took advantage of the situation and pulled the bookshelf outward.


    A safe and a whiteboard covered with photos suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.


    There are a lot of photos in the day class, but there are only six main characters, four men and two women.


    Carolina Belloz is one of the women. At this time, a big red cross has been drawn on her photo.


    In addition, there are three male photos with big red crosses drawn on them.


    It is not difficult to see that the three of them have died in the hands of George Landry with a high probability.


    "Shit!"


    "Fu-k!"


    Ryder''s face changed when he saw this, Roan also cursed in a low voice, and immediately took out his mobile phone to call the No. 5 investigation team.


    The identity information of the three male deceased can be checked later. The most urgent thing is to quickly find out the specific identities of a man and a woman who have not drawn red crosses in the remaining two photos.


    "Sonof than eat!"


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, William frowned and cursed, but he quickly found out the identities of the man and the woman.


    "Roan, the woman''s name is Kim Moura-Kara, and she is one of the prison guards in a certain prison."


    "very good!"


    After hearing what William said, Roan continued to ask:


    "Where is she now? Can I get in touch with her?"


    Several technicians of the No. 5 investigation team tapped their ten fingers on the keyboard rapidly, and there were almost afterimages. A few seconds later, William slammed the table and said angrily:


    "Shit!


    Kim Moura-Kara was shot on the street half an hour ago and died on the spot! "


    "Half an hour ago?!"


    Ryder on the side heard the words, his face became even uglier. Just as he was about to speak, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    Glancing at Ryder, Roan continued to ask:


    "The remaining man in the photo, what is his name? What is his identity?"


    "His name is Park-Kenbys."


    Without waiting for William to answer, Mona, who was sitting not far from him, immediately replied loudly:


    "He''s a cop from the NYPD.


    Some time ago he was on administrative leave because he killed a criminal with a gun on the street. "


    Roan nodded, just as he was about to continue talking, Ryder suddenly stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, then pointed to his mobile phone and said:


    "The call was from Lacey, and she said you couldn''t get through.


    Edwin Miller in the hospital is 100% sure that the person who bought the gun is Joe Root Landry! "


    "Good job!"


    Patted Ryder''s shoulder vigorously, Roan continued to ask on the phone:


    "Mona, where is the policeman''s home in Bai-Qianbasi?"


    Getting the exact address of the policeman''s house, Roan stood there thinking for a few seconds, turned around and tore off the photos of the six people on the whiteboard and stuffed them into his pockets, then ordered loudly into the phone:


    "First, immediately send SWAT team to the house under my feet, squatting to guard Joe Landry!


    Secondly, Mona, you and Lacey now go to the scene where the female prison guard Kimmora Kara was shot dead, check the surveillance video in the nearby area, and find the figure of Joe Landry!


    Third, immediately issue a wanted warrant for George Landry, so that every NYPD patrol officer on duty will know what he looks like!


    Fourth, Joe Root Landry''s next target is likely to be police officer Bai Qianbasi.


    Ryder and I are going to Qian Baisi''s house now, you let a team of SWAT players follow, we will meet there! "


    After listening to Roan''s order, the agents of the No. 5 investigation team and Led Qiqi all looked together, and shouted:


    "clear!!"


    "Good."


    Roan nodded in satisfaction, hung up the phone, and immediately ran to the SUV with Ryder.


    There are two NYPD patrol officers near this house, and the nanny and the house are temporarily handed over to them.


    The Qianbais policeman''s home is some distance away, but with Roan''s driving skills, the SUV arrived at his home very quickly.


    "Hi there."


    Investigation Team No. 5 had already contacted Bai Qianbais in advance. Seeing the fully armed Roan and Ryder getting out of the car, he hurriedly welcomed them into the house.


    "Hello."


    SWAT will take a long time to get here. After Roan briefly greeted Qian Baisi, he immediately took out the six photos in his pocket, and after briefly describing the case, he asked:


    "Officer Qianbais, can you think of anything?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 175： Bazooka!

    Chapter 175 Bazooka!


    Roan and Ryder sat down in the living room on the first floor of Qian Baisi''s house. Qian Baisi took the six photos with a very gloomy expression.


    Just about to speak, a clear female voice suddenly came from the second floor of the house:


    "Dad!"


    Roan looked up and saw a six or seven-year-old girl wearing pink cat pajamas, rubbing her eyes and throwing herself into Qian Baisi''s arms:


    "I''m afraid~"


    "Sorry."


    Seeing the daughter in his arms, Qian Baisi''s gloomy expression disappeared instantly, replaced by a face full of doting.


    Whispered a few words of comfort in her daughter''s ear, Qian Baisi raised her head and said with apologetic expression:


    "This is my daughter, Donna."


    Roan and Ryder smiled, and waved their hands to apologize to the little girl, blaming themselves for waking her up.


    According to Mona''s information, Donna''s mother died when she was born.


    The girls targeted by fate, both Roan and Ryder have enough tolerance.


    The child''s temper came and went quickly, and it was already night, little Donna acted coquettishly for a while, and soon fell asleep in Bai Qianbais''s arms.


    "She always does."


    Holding little Donna in his arms, Qian Baisi wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, raised his head and smiled at Roan and Ryder:


    ��Always wake up several times every night.��


    Regarding this topic, Roan didn''t know what to say, but Ryder on the side nodded in agreement:


    "I understand you.


    I have a son who was like this when he was little. "


    Ryder admired Qian Baisi very much.


    Being a single father is not so easy, not to mention that Qian Baisi''s child is a daughter, and he himself is a policeman.


    The two chatted briefly about the child''s care when they were young, and then hurriedly talked about business.


    Looking at the six photos on the table, Qian Baisi looked dignified and pondered for a moment. He picked up one of the photos of a white male and said:


    "I don''t recall the name Joe Landry, nor do I recall a single case I''ve worked on involving him.


    But I have an impression of this man, I forgot the specific name, but his profession is a lawyer. "


    "lawyer?"


    Hearing that Qian Baisi didn''t remember the clues related to George Landry, Ryder''s expression changed.


    But hearing him say that the man in the photo is a lawyer, Ryder''s emotions lifted again.


    At this moment, Roan, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly felt uncomfortable all over his body, and his buttocks seemed to be on fire.


    Recalling that he had drank a bottle of [Danger Perception Potion] (Chapter 57) before, Luo An''s complexion changed, and he hurriedly got up, took out his pistol and walked to the window.


    Seeing this, Ryder hurriedly left the sofa, took out his weapon and asked:


    "What''s the matter, Luo..."


    Before Ryder finished speaking, a flash of fire suddenly flew here from behind the gray pickup across the road.


    Seeing this, Roan hurriedly turned around and shouted:


    "Get down!!"


    Just a second before Roan yelled, Ryder and Qian Baisi also saw the fire outside the house.


    Both of them are well-trained personnel. Hearing what Roan said, Qian Baisi hurriedly hugged little Donna tightly in his arms, and got down on the spot.


    Ryder had a bulletproof vest on his body. In order to protect Berbers, a single father and witness, he rushed towards him.


    The next second, accompanied by a strip of orange flames, the shining flame hit the master bedroom on the second floor of the house.


    Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded!


    Boom��


    The flames were soaring, debris was everywhere, and cars all over the street started to ring.


    Luan, who was hiding in the corner of the first floor, was hit hard by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and his internal organs felt a burst of pain.


    However, because of a bottle of stamina potion after meals every day, Roan''s body''s resistance to stress is far better than before.


    "FU-K!


    This is a bazooka! "


    Enduring the discomfort coming from all over the body, Roan pushed away the wooden plank on his face full of anger, took out two shock bombs from his pocket without saying a word, and threw them towards the opposite side of the house.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Two explosions sounded, but unfortunately, the enemy on the opposite side of the house drove away immediately after firing the bazooka.


    "I @%��..."


    Touched the wound next to his left eye that was cut by glass shards, Roan''s face was extremely ugly.


    I wanted to drive directly to chase the opponent, but a strong smell of blood suddenly penetrated Roan''s nostrils.


    Turning his head hastily, Roan saw that in the middle of the living room, Ryder and others had been buried under the wooden board.


    The wooden board was lifted vigorously, and Ryder lay on Qian Baisi''s body, his head was hit hard by the wooden board that fell from the second floor, and now he has passed out.


    As for Qian Baisi, Ryder only protected his key parts such as his heart and brain.


    Qian Baisi''s two thighs that were exposed to the outside had two wooden planks inserted, one long and the other short. Blood was pouring out from there crazily, and the person completely lost consciousness.


    The only one who wasn''t hurt much was little Donna.


    She was tightly protected by Qian Baisi. Although she was shocked in her sleep and had several small wounds on her arms and legs by the glass, she did not suffer other serious injuries. She was crying loudly under Qian Baisi''s body at this time.


    The neighborhood where Qian Baisi lives is not a wealthy area, but there are quite a few police officers patrolling nearby.


    Saving people is the most important thing, Roan can''t watch little Donna lose her police father after losing her mother.


    Opened the system page, took out a bottle of [Hemostatic Potion], and Roan poured it directly into Qian Baisi''s mouth where Little Donna couldn''t see it.


    At this time, Roan and Ryder also had some large and small wounds on several exposed body parts.


    Although it was not deep, it was not a solution to keep bleeding, especially the wound next to Roan''s eyes.


    In addition, Roan still planned to hunt down the enemy, so he immediately took out a second bottle of hemostatic potion, drank half of it himself, and fed the other half into Ryder''s mouth.


    Didididi��


    At this moment, the patrol police near this area also rushed over.


    "FBI! My name is Roann Greenwood!"


    Expressed his identity loudly, Roan immediately shouted to the three patrolmen who came:


    "The murderer was driving a gray pickup truck, and he had just left here not long ago, you should seal off this area quickly!


    In addition, the opponent just used a bazooka! It is not ruled out that he has other high-threat weapons! "


    "clear!"


    Hearing Luo An''s order, the three patrolmen agreed loudly, with a clear division of labor, and immediately began to report the matter, applying to block the area, and at the same time called the patrolmen in other areas to come to support, and urged the ambulance to come here to rescue the wounded.


    Seeing this, Roan wiped the blood on the right side of his face, and handed little Donna to one of the patrolmen.


    Looking back, he saw that although the wounds on Qian Baisi and Ryder had not healed, they were no longer bleeding. He immediately turned and walked towards the SUV not far away.


    "Agent Roan!"


    Seeing Roan start the SUV, the patrolman holding Donna hastily shouted:


    "The ambulance will be here soon! Don''t you want a nurse to check your body?"


    "No, I''m in good health, thank you for your concern."


    Roan turned his head and grinned, the wound next to his left eye looked hideous under the light of the fire:


    "I''m going to catch this guy who dared to use the bazooka now!"


    For law enforcement officers, long guns and short guns have never been a concept.


    NYPD kills an enemy with a pistol, and there will always be a bunch of people in the court saying this and that afterwards.


    But killing an enemy who uses a spear, there are much fewer such people.


    And now, the opponent actually dares to use a rocket launcher as a big killer...


    Recalling the thing in the refrigerator and the photos on the whiteboard, Roan''s eyes flickered coldly.


    He is now more and more interested in who Joe Root Landry is.


    Boom!


    With a hard step on the accelerator, the jet-black SUV followed the path of the gray pickup and rushed into the distant night in an instant.

 Chapter 176： exploding helicopter

    Chapter 176 Exploding Helicopter


    The community where Qian Baisi lives is located at the junction of Queens, New York and Long Island, which is on the outskirts of the wealthy area.


    The traffic is developed, there are many vegetation-covered areas, and there are many cameras.


    Now this large area is full of red and blue lights flashing everywhere, and sirens are blaring.


    Many intersections outside the area, NYPD has implemented mandatory traffic control.


    Many drivers looked at this rare scene curiously. After learning from various sources that someone used a bazooka, they felt that they had entered the real version of GTA.


    I just don��t know how many stars NYPD gave to the other party.


    Big newspapers are rich and can drive a helicopter from the sky to live broadcast the pursuit of the murderer.


    The tabloid reporters wanted to drive into the blockade, but tonight the NYPD was very dutiful and refused to let them in.


    In desperation, these reporters had no choice but to turn their cameras to those grim-looking troop carriers with black spray paint and the word SWAT on the side, which drove into the blocked area from all directions.


    "Agents!"


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Augustus stood at the forefront, watching the live broadcast on TV, feeling overwhelmed, turned around and said loudly:


    "The major media in New York are going crazy now!


    They want answers, but we don''t have them!


    William, Roan and Ryder what''s going on now? "


    "Ryder was injured and sent to the hospital, Roan is chasing the enemy!"


    "Biaozi raised!"


    Augus cursed in a low voice, and hurriedly ordered:


    "Does Roan have support? Tell the nearest SWAT to join him!


    Also, where is the enemy now? Did you find it? "


    William and other technicians tapped ten fingers on the keyboard quickly, and when they heard Augustus'' question, he hurriedly answered:


    "The nearest SWAT team is expected to join Roan in five minutes!


    The trace of the enemy has been found by Mona, and she is now helping Roan locate and hunt down the enemy! "


    "Good!"


    Running to William''s side, Mona has already connected the screen of her computer to the computer of investigation team No. 5 remotely.


    Augus looked at the screen on the computer, folded his arms around his chest, his forehead was full of nervous sweat.


    ��


    At the same time, the jet-black SUV was speeding forward on the road like lightning.


    "Turn left at the intersection ahead, and turn right after 300 meters!"


    In the driver''s seat, Roan''s eyes flickered coldly, and the communicator next to his ear continuously heard the sound of Mona''s typing on the keyboard and the sound of the direction remote control.


    Roan called Mona after leaving Qian Baisi''s house and explained the situation here.


    When Mona heard this, she immediately handed over the steering wheel to Lacey, and asked Lacey to drive to the scene to support Roan.


    She herself sat on the co-pilot and quickly tapped the keyboard. Through the camera on the road, she remotely controlled Roan to hunt down the gray pickup at the fastest speed.


    Looking at Mona typing on the keyboard in the co-pilot, all ten fingers appeared afterimages, Lacey, who was driving, swallowed silently.


    In the blockade area, following Mona''s guidance, Roan drove the SUV across the backyard of a passerby''s house, crashed into an empty kennel and fence, and soon found the shadow of a gray pickup on another road.


    Augus from afar: "��"


    At this moment, a long strip of orange flame suddenly shot out from the gray pickup, shooting towards the sky.


    Boom��


    Deafening explosions sounded, and the TV station helicopter in the sky was hit, spinning and falling to the ground on the spot.


    "Fu-k!"


    "Shit!"


    Personnel from several law enforcement camps and TV stations saw the scene on TV and cursed one after another.


    "Oh My God!"


    "Jesus!"


    The audience in front of the TV covered their mouths and exclaimed when they saw this scene.


    "Roan, be careful!"


    "Hurry up and brake!"


    Mona, Augustus, William and others in the distance shouted Roan''s name through the monitoring on the road.


    Because of the direction where the helicopter crashed, it was on the road ahead of the Roan SUV.


    "fine!"


    Roan frowned slightly, and silently pulled out the communicator by his ear a little.


    Mona yelled so loudly that her eardrums were almost shattered.


    Looking at the helicopter gradually falling towards him, Roan''s face darkened, and he stepped on the accelerator silently.


    The next second, at the moment when the helicopter''s fan blades were spinning and landing, Roan shifted the gear lever, controlled the brake, and at the same time turned the steering wheel suddenly, and the SUV directly passed the helicopter obliquely at an incredible angle.


    Boom!


    The helicopter fell to the ground completely and exploded on the road.


    The pitch-black SUV rushed forward again like lightning against the background of bright fire.


    Everyone in Yuanfang No. 5 investigation team saw this scene, they all slapped the table and shouted loudly:


    "Nice!"


    "Cool!"


    "awesome!"


    "As expected of Roan! I knew he could do it!"


    Different from all the agents, Mona saw this scene, her throat became dry, and she shouted to the communicator:


    "Roan! Are you crazy? Are you dying?"


    "Not next time."


    Because of the obstruction of the helicopter just now, the shadow of the gray pickup disappeared again.


    Replying to Mona casually, Roan hurriedly asked:


    "Mona! Where is the enemy now?"


    Under Lacey''s tongue-tapping gaze, Mona slammed the door next to the co-pilot hard.


    "#%��..."


    Muttering a few words in a low voice, Mona tapped the keyboard again, and then replied in a cold voice:


    "Turn right at the intersection 500 meters ahead!


    A team of SWAT and NYPD is there, and they will soon meet the gray pickup and exchange fire! "


    "OK!"


    As soon as Mona''s words in the communicator in the ear ended, there were soaring flames and intense gunshots not far from the front right.


    Seeing this, Roan immediately turned the steering wheel and rushed in that direction.


    When he arrived, an overturned police car was burning on the side of the road, and two NYPDs were lying on the ground, obviously seriously injured.


    The SWAT operation team next to it was not injured, but there were some bullet craters on the vehicle.


    Stomped on the brakes and parked the SUV on the side of the road. Only then did Roan realize that there was a forest on the right side, and two deep car marks on the ground turned into the forest.


    Running quickly to SWAT, Roan took the M4A1 assault rifle handed over by the other party, and asked in a deep voice:


    "What''s going on now?"


    "The opponent has four people with long guns.


    One of them saw us and used the bazooka, and two NYPD patrol officers were killed. "


    Before the SWAT action team could answer, a gloomy NYPD suddenly came over.


    It was only then that Roan discovered that the other party was actually Detective Walton whom he had just met this morning.


    Nodding to Roan, Detective Walton opened the trunk of his police car, took out two rifles from inside and carried them behind his back, turned to stare at Roan and said:


    "Their car was just driven into the nearby woods by the SWAT team."


    "OK."


    Nodding, he showed the photo of Joe Landry to everyone, and after confirming that he was one of the four people in the gray pickup and the guy driving, Roan immediately took the communicator handed over by SWAT.


    No nonsense, Roan shouted into the communicator:


    "Attention all units, check the equipment immediately, and use the team as a unit to surround this forest in all directions!


    Once you encounter non-law enforcement personnel, you are allowed to kill them on the spot! "


    "clear!!"


    Four heavily armed SWAT teams and a dozen NYPD armed with rifles all slowly entered the target area.


    Taking a deep breath, Roan took the helmet handed over by the SWAT team member and put it on, turned on the night vision goggles, and picked up the rifle.


    Together with the vengeful Detective Walton, the two formed a temporary team and walked into the woods together.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 177： Double kill and successful arrest of Joe Landry

    Chapter 177 Double Kill and Successful Arrest of Joe Landry


    Roan, Detective Walton, and several SWAT team members found the gray pickup truck after walking for a long time.


    The gray pickup crashed into a tree, the front of the car was deeply dented, and the windshield was shattered.


    Walton walked slowly to the gray pickup in a vigilant posture, but when he found no one inside, he cursed in a low voice.


    Roan on the other side rummaged through the interior of the gray pickup, and his face was very ugly.


    Because he didn''t find the bazooka launcher inside.


    "Attention all units!"


    Roan took out the communicator from his pocket, and said with a serious face:


    "The enemy has a bazooka launcher in his hand, be careful!"


    "receive!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, every member of the hunting team in the woods changed their expressions, their spirits became more concentrated, and the atmosphere became more tense.


    The police detective passed the gray pickup and continued to walk a few steps forward. Suddenly, he found that Roan hadn''t followed, and hurriedly turned around and asked in a low voice:


    "What''s wrong, Roan? What did you find?"


    Roan looked at the gray pickup, then looked at the ground around him, remained silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked:


    "Walton, are you familiar with this forest? Are there any rivers or paths in it?"


    Walton''s home is not far from here. He heard Roan''s words, thought for a while, and replied in a low voice:


    "Due north from here, there is indeed a river that finally flows into the Long Island Sound."


    After listening to Walton''s narration, Roan frowned, and took out the communicator again:


    "Attention all units! The enemy is likely to flee to the river in the north direction. The search team in the nearby area should pay more attention and be careful!"


    "clear!"


    Received the affirmative reply from the SWAT team members, Roan put away the communicator, raised the rifle, and ran to the north at a fast pace.


    Seeing this, Walton hurriedly raised his rifle to keep up, but he was puzzled why Roan made such a judgment.


    Hearing Walton''s question, Roan, who was walking forward, frowned.


    One of the reasons is that he just found some broken branches and crushed leaves, and their path is exactly north.


    The second reason is that the state of the gray pickup truck after it hit a tree was wrong. Judging from the traces on the ground, the gray pickup is very fast.


    A car hits a tree at that speed, there is no way the driver and passengers are not injured at all.


    But there was no blood in the car, and the only explanation was that four people jumped out of the car before the crash.


    "But after the four jumped out of the car, they packed up their things and left here at an extremely fast speed, and rushed straight to the north, so it is very likely that they had prepared in advance..."


    After listening to Roan''s narration, the eyes of Detective Walton behind Roan were full of disbelief.


    He was about to say a few words of rebuttal and doubt, when suddenly there was the sound of rifle fire not far ahead.


    "Quick! Let''s rush over to support!"


    The moment the gunshot sounded, Roan stepped on the ground fiercely, and his figure disappeared in front of Detective Walton in an instant.


    Detective Walton gasped, not only shocked by Roan''s speed, but also the direction of the gunshots, which was north!


    Seeing from the corner of the eye that Detective Walton didn''t follow him in time, Roan rolled his eyes, and immediately opened the system, took out a bottle of [Quick Elixir] and poured it into his mouth.


    The opponent has a bazooka in his hand, and Roan doesn''t want to be bombed everywhere.


    ��Swift Potion��The next few seconds after entering the body, Luo An''s already amazing speed improved to a higher level.


    Walton could still see Roan''s back in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, Roan had completely disappeared from his eyes.


    "��Fu-k! Are FBI agents this crazy now?"


    Shuttle through the woods at an extremely fast speed, Roan quickly arrived at the position where SWAT and the opponent exchanged fire.


    bang bang bang��


    Because of the low terrain, the three SWATs are being suppressed by the opponent''s firepower.


    But SWAT is not without gains, they have killed a four-person group of long-haired white men.


    This long-haired white man is now put in front of him by a thick-browed white man as a cover, allowing SWAT bullets to hit the body.


    Nodding with the three SWAT players, Roan measured the distance between the two sides, and immediately took out the only four shock bombs left from his pocket.


    At the same time, another bearded white man took out a rocket launcher from behind, stood up on the spot, opened his mouth and laughed loudly:


    "Garbage, be purified by the flames!


    Praise Jesus, let us see you on the Sabbath! "


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Before he pulled the trigger, two dazzling white lights and explosions suddenly exploded in front of the bearded man and thick eyebrows.


    Seeing this, the three SWAT members hurriedly got up and shot back.


    And Roan had already moved to the enemy''s side at an extremely fast speed the second after the shock bomb exploded.


    "Damn, I..."


    The bearded man was hurt by the eyes of the white light, and he cursed and hurriedly prepared to pull the trigger again.


    At this moment, he suddenly felt the saber in his pocket being drawn out, and at the same time, an emotionless male voice suddenly sounded in his ears:


    "You really deserve to die."


    Cold sweat instantly soaked the back of the bearded man, and the expression on his face with thick eyebrows was like seeing a ghost.


    Bang Bang!


    boom!


    Bang Bang!


    boom!


    Six shots were fired, two in the chest and one in the head, and the bearded man and the thick-browed man collapsed to the ground with their limbs limp.


    The two of them didn''t understand how the man who killed them moved to their side until the moment they lost consciousness.


    The moment the two corpses fell to the ground, the feeling of being uncomfortable all over the body, as if the bottom of the buttocks were on fire reappeared. Without hesitation, Roan immediately threw himself under the bearded man.


    Poof! puff!


    Two bullets hit the ground beside Roan, and the dirt bounced on Roan''s face.


    "Joe Landry!"


    There is only one person left in the group of four. When the three SWAT members came here and shot to cover Roan, Roan was already like a raging beast, galloping towards the direction of the shooting.


    At this moment, the three SWAT team members finally saw Luo An''s moving speed clearly, and their eyes were dull and suspicious of life.


    bang bang bang��


    Pistol bullets shot out from behind the dirt bag not far away, but they landed either in front of Roan''s figure or on the side. Only one of them left a scratch on Roan''s calf.


    "Fu-k!"


    On the mountain, George Landry''s eyes were filled with shock and horror. Seeing that Roan was getting closer and closer to him, and the bullet in the pistol had been emptied, he hurriedly got up and prepared to run to the river downhill.


    The three of them stopped SWAT just now, just to give him time to clean the kayak.


    Now that the three of them are dead, Landry has no plans to bury them with them.


    The moment Landry got up, a white flash suddenly flashed his eyes.


    poof��


    The next second, the pistol fell to the ground, and a sharp pain came from his right wrist. Landry looked down with pain on his face, and it turned out that the bearded saber was firmly inserted into his wrist.


    "ah!"


    Boom!


    Landry''s yell just came out of his mouth, Roan suddenly knocked him to the ground with a knee bump.


    This case is so big that Landry, the principal culprit, must not die now.


    But being alive does not mean that he can go to prison in good health.


    Using bazookas to blow up NYPD and FBI, this kind of thing has not happened in New York for a long time.


    Landry rolled down the **** to the river, and Roan walked up to him, and directly removed his left and right arms with skill.


    "tell me."


    Bending down, looking at Landry''s face, Roan touched the scar on his left eye, with a bright smile on his face:


    "Who the **** are you?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 178： Afterwards harvest and the truth of the case

    Chapter 178 Harvesting Afterwards and the Truth of the Case-Part 1


    Under the dark night, Roan bent down and squatted by the river, looking at George Landry in front of him, with a smile on his face:


    "TellMe, Doyouble...


    Who you really are? "


    Hearing the question from the ghostly man in front of him, Landry, who had a saber stuck in his right hand, blushed instantly, and opened his mouth to greet Roan''s family.


    Boom!


    Before he could make a sound, seeing Roan who was driven down by three SWAT players, he got up and kicked him unconscious.


    "Agent Roan! Are you okay?"


    SWAT members rushed to the river with their rifles in their arms, and after confirming that Landry had fainted, they asked Roan very concerned if he was injured.


    The three of them were not only shocked by Roan''s vigorous skill and terrifying speed of action, but also felt a little ashamed that they and others did not provide help before.


    "I''m fine."


    Roan smiled and patted his arm, indicating that he was not injured.


    Hearing the shameful words of the three, Roan waved his hands. The three of them discovered the enemy first, and successfully killed one of them. There is no need to do this.


    Handing Landry who was lying on the ground to the three of them, Roan climbed up to the top of the **** again, and Detective Walton finally arrived here.


    Looking at the three corpses on the ground, and hearing about Roan''s performance from the SWAT team, Walton was the first to react that the SWAT team was bragging in front of him, the NYPD.


    But thinking about Roan''s terrifying running speed just now, and the SWAT team members patted their chests to ensure that they would never lie, Detective Walton''s breathing became much faster, and his gaze at Roan was filled with disbelief.


    If it weren��t for Roan being the FBI, he, Walton, would have to contact his superiors to find a way to get Roan into their NYPD.


    Roan didn''t know that another guy had the idea of ??recruiting him. He took out the communicator and told the search and arrest team in this area that the enemy had been dealt with, then took out the communicator and pressed the toggle button.


    At this time point, various law enforcement teams do not have the real-time monitoring equipment that is mounted on law enforcement personnel.


    Since entering the woods, Roan has turned off the communicator, and the No. 5 investigation team has lost contact with Roan.


    At this time, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team was in fear, and Augustus was covered with sweat.


    Lacey, who reached the edge of the woods, clenched her fists, and Mona bit her lips, all staring at the woods in front of them.


    Outside, there was a group of reporters who seemed to be crazy about the headlines. Inside, there was Luo An, who could not be contacted and could only wait for the news.


    Augus couldn''t sit still at all, unconsciously clutching the folder with his sweaty hands, he paced back and forth in circles at the front of the No. 5 investigation team''s office area.


    Reporter Augustus was not worried. What he feared most in his heart was that Roan had an accident.


    Didididi��


    In the extremely quiet room, the sudden sound of the communicator startled everyone.


    Waking up, Augustus prayed to God that Roan would not have an accident, and at the same time asked William to press the button.


    Mona and Lacey in the distance also hurriedly pressed the answer button.


    "Three people were shot dead, and I managed to capture George Landry alive."


    Roan took off his helmet, stood on the spot, stretched, smiled and said to the communicator:


    "The task was successfully completed, and no one in the search team was injured."


    Hearing Luo An''s iconic voice from the communicator, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team suddenly cheered:


    "Yeah!"


    "marvelous!"


    "Good job!"


    Augus laughed, threw the folder aside casually, asked William to inform Roan to have a good rest tomorrow and not to go to work, and then strode away from the No. 5 investigation team.


    There are a group of reporters waiting for him outside.


    Lacey and Mona also let out a long breath when they heard the voice, and slowly loosened their tightly clenched fists.


    "Roan, you were able to capture Landry alive! That''s amazing!"


    When Roan came out of the woods, Lacey smiled all over her face, patted Roan''s shoulder vigorously, and gave him thumbs up again and again.


    Mona, who was standing by the side, hugged the computer, glared at Roan with a stern face, didn''t say anything, and escorted George Landry with Lacey, and went to the hospital with the ambulance.


    Master Roan Greenwood, who had been busy all day, drove back to his small apartment in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, which had been completely renovated because of extra money.


    Sleep until twelve noon the next day.


    Get up and go to the bathroom to resolve internal conflicts.


    Roan opened the system page in his mind while taking a shower.


    To his surprise, the system gave him yesterday''s evaluation was not [excellent]


    It''s ��Excellent��


    Since getting this crude system, this is the first time Roan has received this evaluation.


    Toggle the system page and open the system treasure chest that I was too lazy to open last night because I was too tired.


    A familiar but rough cutscene, under Luo An''s surprised eyes, five bottles of potions were actually opened from the treasure chest.


    "So, if you get the [Pass] evaluation, two bottles of medicine will be opened from the treasure chest, [Good] will be three bottles, [Excellent] will be four bottles, and [Very Excellent] will be five bottles."


    Having a better understanding of the operating logic of the system, Roan began to check the names of the medicines that were opened from the treasure chest:


    ��Physical Potion x1����Strength Potion x1����Hemostatic Potion x1����Feather Fall Potion x1����Analgesic Potion x1��


    Seeing the stamina potion, Roan took it out of the system without saying a word, raised his head and drank it clean.


    The spirit is instantly full, and the waist is instantly strong.


    At this time, Luo An''s system warehouse page has 2 bottles of antidote potion, 2 bottles of hemostatic potion, 2 bottles of strength potion, 2 bottles of feather fall potion, 1 bottle of weakness potion, 1 bottle of water lung potion, 1 bottle of fire resistance potion, 1 bottle of Analgesics.


    [Analgesic potion] is a new potion that appeared again. Although the system still doesn''t explain it, Roan can guess what it does just by looking at the name.


    And [Feather Falling Potion] finally got two bottles. In order to know its specific ability, Roan drew the curtains of the living room, raised his head and drank them all.


    The moment Roan drank [Featherfall Potion], Roan felt as if he had escaped a small part of the earth''s gravitational shackles.


    Under this feeling, Roan jumped on the spot, and then found that one of the effects of the potion was to slow down his falling speed, and the other was to make him jump higher.


    The only problem is that he needs to clean up the lamps on the living room floor that he smashed by himself...


    ��


    With what Augustus said earlier, Roan didn''t go to work all day on Tuesday, but stayed at home watching dramas and watching movies + lying dead.


    Wednesday morning, Roan walked into investigation team No. 5 carrying two packs of Mona''s favorite breakfast.


    Then he was surprised to find that all the desks of the No. 5 investigation team agents were replaced with new computers, and the old chairs became new chairs.


    Also got a new coffee machine.


    "Wow."


    Sitting on the new chair at his workstation, Roan twisted his butt, patted the new computer, and showed a happy smile on his face.


    Now when you watch a movie when you have nothing to do, the computer should stop freezing.


    At this time Mona also came in, Roan saw this, and immediately handed her breakfast with a smile.


    After receiving the breakfast, Mona gave Roan a blank look, and the little grievances in her heart slowly dissipated.


    The two chatted briefly for a while, and Roan asked:


    "How about it, Joe Landry, did you confess?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 179： Afterwards harvest and the truth of the case

    Chapter 179 Harvest after the event and the truth of the case - Medium


    "No."


    Mona shook her head.


    Yesterday, the doctor in the hospital pulled out the knife from Landry''s hand, and briefly dealt with Landry''s two arms that had been removed. Mona and Lacey brought him back to the No. 5 investigation team.


    But no matter how they interrogated, Joe Root Landry didn''t say a word, didn''t say anything, and didn''t even ask for a lawyer.


    In desperation, they had no choice but to let the trace inspection department test Landry''s DNA first, and compare it with the DNA of the head in the refrigerator, trying to know the relationship between them.


    But the test results have not yet come out.


    Roan frowned when he heard this.


    "But we are not completely without gains."


    Mona turned around, handed some documents to Roan, and said with a smile:


    "We found information on Landry''s three associates.


    According to the data, the three of them are the remnants of the Davidic sect. "


    "Um?"


    Hearing the words in Mona''s mouth, Roan suddenly remembered the words "Praise Jesus, let''s see you on the Sabbath" that the bearded man shouted before his death.


    Davidianism is a branch of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a very well-known extreme sect in the Federation.


    Their teachings believe that the "Kingdom of Heaven" is coming, and the end of the world is a **** battle with the heathen, and they will sacrifice their lives for it in this "holy war" so that they can ascend to heaven.


    This group of people preaches terror and violence, fights non-cultists, builds estates and bunkers, hoards weapons and food.


    In 1993, the Branch Davidians shocked the Federation by setting fire to the manor and setting themselves on fire, including 21 children under the age of 16.


    In 1995, the Davidians again caused a big explosion in the federal government agency building in Oklahoma City, the capital of Oklahoma. More than 200 people were killed or buried in the rubble.


    After this, the FBI used great efforts to arrest the main leader of the sect and put it in prison.


    It can be said that among the numerous cult organizations in the Federation, the Davidic Sect has always been the top group in terms of hands-on ability.


    This also explains why the three bearded men dared to use bazookas to blow up the helicopters of NYPD and TV stations.


    The surviving cultists did not have the idea of ??fear of law enforcement officers.


    "OK."


    After reading the information, Roan threw it aside, and when almost everyone in the No. 5 investigation team came, he and Mona interrogated Landry again.


    Facing Roan, the guy who threw a knife and stabbed himself, Landry''s face was full of anger.


    But still did not say a word.


    After tossing for two hours, Roan and Mona got up helplessly and left the interrogation room.


    In addition to direct hands, the two used all kinds of words.


    Seeing Luo An also walk out of the interrogation room empty-handed, the faces of the agents of the No. 5 investigation team suddenly collapsed.


    "How about..."


    Lacey rested her chin on her hand, looked at Roan and asked tentatively:


    "The surveillance video in the interrogation room is broken again?"


    "..."


    Hearing this, the corner of Luo An''s mouth twitched.


    Rejecting Lacey''s suggestion of physical interrogation, Roan sat on the chair and pondered for a long time, then suddenly slapped:


    "Someone must know the identity of Joe Landry!


    She also has a high probability of knowing why Landry killed Judge Carolina and the other five people! "


    Lacey, Mona, William and the others all cheered up, and hurriedly asked:


    "who is it?"


    ��


    Jorgen Landry''s family.


    Because Landry was arrested and the nanny stopped coming here, the mother who was paralyzed in bed did not continue to take the medicine and woke up from sleep.


    Roan and her contact Mona helped her with personal hygiene and put her in a wheelchair.


    Knowing the purpose of the two, mother Hai Li trembled and took a sip of water.


    Time passed by, Haili sighed, and slowly told the story decades ago:


    Hailey did not go to college when she was young. After graduating from high school, she worked in a supermarket in order to make money, so she met her boyfriend Reed Thompson.


    The two got to know each other several times, and Hailey suddenly discovered that Reed was actually an addict.


    Hayley originally planned to leave Reed, but was deceived by Reed''s rhetoric, not only did not leave him, but agreed to go to the south with him to study and make money.


    Not long after, Haili, who had not taken isolation measures, became pregnant with Reed''s child, and then gave birth to him with Lao Mo.


    The two began to read together with their children.


    I often walk by the river, so how can I not get my shoes wet. During an operation, the two were discovered by border control personnel, Hayley escaped successfully, while Reed and the child disappeared during the escape.


    Hailey has had enough of this life of fear, so she finally chose to give up looking for Reed and the child, and came to New York alone.


    In New York, she started again at the supermarket, successfully married a supermarket executive a year later, and gave birth to a second child, whom she named Joe Landry.


    Several years later, Landry did not go to college, but chose to join the army and became a naval scout.


    Later, Hailey''s husband died of a sudden illness. In order to take care of his mother, Landry chose to retire from the army and return home.


    At this moment, the nightmare found her again.


    One night, Hailey was having dinner with Landry when several men suddenly broke into her home and killed Landry on the spot.


    The leading man told Hailey not to be afraid, he would not kill her, because his name was Gary Thompson.


    It was the child who was abandoned by Haili back then.


    According to Gary Thompson, his father told him since he was a child that Hailey deliberately left clues to provoke the Border Patrol, which led to him and his father being forced to flee. In the end, they had just left the wolf''s lair and entered the household registration, and were arrested by Davidians. people catch.


    It was also at that time that Gary Thompson met people like Big Beard and Thick Eyebrows, who were also children captured by Davidians.


    Later Davidians were destroyed by the FBI. Gary thought the nightmare was over, but his father Reagan was caught in prison and sentenced to life imprisonment.


    Although Reagan read and sold books, he killed people under the instructions of the Branch Davidians, was stronger than seeing people, and even made bombs.


    But Gary knew that his father Reagan was a good man.


    So he started contacting lawyers, trying to get his father out of prison.


    In the process, Gary accidentally found a photo of Hayley among his father''s belongings.


    Although the Davidians were destroyed at the upper level, there are still many tribes left at the lower level.


    Through the help of these Davidic remnants, Gary successfully found the current address of his mother Hayley, and also discovered that his living conditions were completely opposite to George Landry''s.


    Jealousy blazes in Gary''s chest.


    Driven by anger, Gary killed Landry and chopped off his head, and then through plastic surgery, he changed his appearance into Landry''s appearance.


    In this way, he can firstly escape the pursuit of the FBI, and secondly, he can live on as Joe Root Landry and take care of Haili for him.


    The way to take care of mother Hailey is to turn her into a disability, declare that she has mental problems, feed her medicine, and let her sleep.


    During the period, Hailey did not tell the truth, but how could Gary believe it.


    Last week, an elderly Reagan died in prison.


    In order to take revenge, Gary began to look for helpers and buy guns, and began to kill the lawyer and several other people who were dawdling in his eyes.


    In Gary''s eyes, if they weren''t careful, his father would have been released from prison long ago.


    After those people were dealt with, Gary set his sights on the female judge who opposed his and his father''s appeal request, Carolina Belloz.


    As for the killing of the female prison guard Kimola Kara and the NYPD policeman Bai Qianbasi, it is related to another matter.


    Note: The original case comes from the PublicAccesstoCourtElectronicR of the Federal Court of the United States. The author found it through the Internet and made some appropriate adaptations (the original case is too insincere, so the author feels that this book is not adapted) Might be gone...)


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 180： After the event and the truth of the case

    Chapter 180 Harvest after the fact and the truth of the case - Part 2


    The reason why Gary Thompson wanted to kill the female prison guard Kim Moura and NYPD''s Qian Baisi was because of a woman named Brill.


    Brill is the bearded younger sister who grew up with Gary and is also Davidian.


    A few months ago, Brill was arrested and imprisoned. He was released from prison not long ago because of minor charges.


    But not long after she came out, she was shot dead by NYPD on the spot and sent to the morgue for attacking others with a gun in a public place.


    The NYPD who sent Brill on the road was Qian Baisi, and he also got the aforementioned administrative leave because of this.


    The female prison guard Kim Moura-Kara was the female prison guard who often abused her when Brill was in prison.


    Whether there was real abuse is unknown, but Beard chose to trust his sister unconditionally.


    Hearing that Gary asked for help, the bearded man immediately nodded and agreed.


    In exchange, after the bearded man helped Gary kill judges and lawyers, Gary also helped the bearded man kill Qian Baisi and the female prison guard...


    Roan took out his mobile phone and helped Haili contact the service organizations in this community. After Mona and Haili had a brief chat, the two got up and left the house together.


    Sitting in the co-pilot, Mona hugged the laptop, her face full of sobs:


    "Roan, I feel like this story could be made into a movie."


    Readings, revenge, killings, cults, gun battles, hatred between two generations...there are too many elements.


    "maybe."


    Turning the steering wheel and driving the SUV back in the direction of Jacob''s Federal Building, Roan didn''t have much thought about this story. There will always be stories with more twists and turns than this in the world.


    Seeing Roan''s lack of interest, Mona pursed her lips and muttered a few words in a low voice, then suddenly remembered something, and asked excitedly:


    "Roan, do you think I have adapted this case into a screenplay, and then cast it in Hollywood, is there any chance of selling it to those large film and television companies at a high price?"


    "What? Are you serious?"


    Seeing the golden light in Mona''s eyes, Roan twitched the corner of his mouth and said hastily:


    "Don''t forget the FBI''s case confidentiality regulations."


    "I know~"


    Mona rubbed her face and muttered:


    "Just talking casually."


    Mona is a little short of money recently, so she started to think wildly.


    Looking carefully at Mona, and making sure she was really just joking, Roan breathed a sigh of relief.


    Mona Ben was repeatedly warned by August because she often used computers to invade other places to do things.


    But these are trivial matters. Mona''s skills are all on the computer, and Augustus just beats her.


    ��


    The office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    With old Haili''s confession, Mona and Lacey took "Jorgen Landry" to the trace inspection department to verify his authenticity.


    Verification is just to show more evidence in court.


    Facing a cultist + murderer like Gary Thompson + a prisoner who bombed the NYPD and FBI with a bazooka, and the buff is almost full, the judge knows how harsh his sentence will be.


    Of course, the follow-up work of collecting evidence, writing reports, and contacting judges in this case has nothing to do with Luo An.


    He is sitting at his desk now, fiddling with the new computer intently.


    Originally, Mr. Warren sent investigation team No. 5 and ten laptops shortly after the [Disappearing Case of the Rich Woman].


    But the notebook belonging to Roan was snatched by Mona as soon as she got it.


    So the current scene in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team is that Lacey, William and others have a new desktop computer and a new laptop.


    Roan only has a new desktop computer.


    In front of Mona is a new desktop computer and two new laptops.


    "..."


    Looking at Mona''s ten fingers flying and typing on the keyboards of the three computers, Roan was speechless.


    Are your fingers not tired?


    Also, why is Lacey next to her drooling again?


    At this moment, Augustus, who had been missing for a long time, pushed open the door of the No. 5 investigation team again and walked in, while shouting loudly:


    "Roan! Come to my office!"


    "Yes, sir!"


    Roan immediately got up and strode into the team leader''s office.


    I don''t know what reward this case can bring me.


    "sit."


    Throwing the folder in his hand into Roan''s arms, Augustus sat down on the old chair.


    The reason why it is an old chair, not a new one like the detectives, is related to Roan.


    Because Roan "accidentally" drove into a passerby''s fence and kennel while chasing the gray pickup the night before...


    casually promised Augustus that he would change it in the future, and never next time. Roan lowered his head and opened the folder in his hand.


    As expected by Luo An, the document contained bonuses for all members of the No. 5 investigation team, as well as proof that Luo An himself had doubled his bonus.


    The bonus on weekdays is 1,500 US dollars, doubled to 3,000.


    Equivalent to one month''s salary of a senior agent.


    Not only that, but in the [Serial Murder Case in the Deep Pit by the Sea], the $200,000 reward offered by the Long Island government will also be credited to Luo An''s account before leaving get off work today.


    Looking at the figure of 203,000 US dollars, Luo An suddenly grinned, raised his head with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly:


    "Thank you sir!"


    "You''re welcome."


    Augus waved his hand, he only hoped that Roan would destroy less things in the next mission.


    When he first came to the No. 5 investigation team, Roan just spent some shock bombs, which was not a big deal, and it was still within the range of Augustus.


    But last night''s fence and kennels...


    Augus took a sip of the new coffee on the table, feeling a little relieved.


    Roan just promised him that he would pay attention in the future. With his steady performance on weekdays, this kind of thing should not happen again in the future... right?


    Swallowing the coffee in his mouth, Augustus pulled out another folder and handed it to Roan:


    "This is the reward for the two cultists you killed the night before yesterday."


    "Um?"


    Roan was taken aback for a moment, Augustus saw this and explained with a smile:


    "Those two guys have been committing crimes over the years, but because they have always been helped by the Davidic remnants, and their status is too low, a certain department of the FBI didn''t search carefully, so they have been active until now.


    This money is a reward from a certain department of the FBI.


    The team leader of that department thought that the money would be taken by their own people, but they didn''t expect it to be taken by you. "


    The reward for each of the bearded trio was $30,000, because one of them was killed by the three SWAT players, so Roan could only get $60,000.


    But $60,000 is not a small amount.


    Adding the 203,000 just now, Roan did the math, and solved the case by himself, and got a total of 263,000 US dollars.


    Luo An��s eyes were full, if he could make so much money by solving every case, plus the Apple stock he bought before...


    Set a small goal first, earn him 100 million before the age of thirty-five!


    Seeing the golden $$ in Roan''s eyes, Augustus twitched the corner of his mouth. After chatting with Roan briefly, he waved him away.


    Just after leaving the team leader''s office and walking to the front of the office area, Mona and Lacey cast doubtful glances at Roan.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 181： Visit Verenes

    Chapter 181 Visiting Vernis


    Mona and Lacey mainly want to know about the bonus after the case is solved.


    "Same as ever!"


    Roan threw a folder into their hands and laughed loudly:


    "Everyone gets their bonuses again this week!"


    Papa Papa��


    Hearing Luo An''s words, the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team suddenly exploded. All the agents applauded Luo An and cheered loudly at the same time:


    "ohhh~"


    "Thanks Roan!"


    "Roan! You are the most handsome in the No. 5 investigation team!"


    "No! Roan is the most handsome in the whole building!"


    Hearing the more and more disgusting words behind the crowd, Roan waved his hands hurriedly, folded his arms and pretended to be trembling.


    All the agents laughed.


    After playing with the agents for a while, Roan sat in his new chair and thought for a while. He had nothing to do anyway, and then drove away from the No. 5 investigation team and went to the hospital where Verinisi was.


    Virenes is her own chief after all


    Now that she is injured and hospitalized, things like feelings still need frequent contact.


    Bought some fruits and flowers as usual.


    Boom! Boom!


    "Enter."


    "Good afternoon, sir."


    Entering the ward, Roan found that although Verinis was still lying on the bed, her mental state was much stronger than before.


    Put the fruit and flowers on the table beside the hospital bed, Roan smiled:


    "It seems that the chief is recovering well."


    "Um."


    Verinis still spoke briefly, and the two chatted briefly. As expected by Roan, Verinis still asked [The case of the female judge being shot to death]


    For Verinisi, the team leader, there was nothing to hide about the case, so Roan recounted to her in detail his own experience in solving the case, as well as the stories and secrets behind the case.


    Listening to Roan''s narration, a slight smile appeared on Verenice''s pale face.


    But when she heard that Roan had double-killed the enemy and captured Gary Thompson alive, she suddenly coughed.


    Seeing this, Luo An hurriedly poured her a glass of water.


    "Thanks."


    Slowly took a sip of water, Verniss calmed down, and after a while of silence, she suddenly said:


    "Roan, just the morning before yesterday, I got a message that someone wanted to parachute a deputy team leader to your No. 5 investigation team."


    "Um?"


    Hearing this, Roan paused slightly when pouring water.


    But he didn''t panic, because there must be more to come.


    Seeing this, Verinisi looked at Roan with the word satisfaction in her eyes.


    Here''s why she likes Roann:


    Not only can solve cases, he has a good brain and strong skills, but also has a thorough understanding of office politics.


    For Vernis, the last point is more important than anything else.


    She used to meet too many outstanding talents in certain aspects in the center of the Federation, but in the end they disappeared for no apparent reason because of politics.


    "The other party is our New York branch of the FBI, a chief of the anti-terrorism department under the Department of Homeland Security."


    Verinis'' body has not fully recovered, and she speaks slowly and panting.


    So as soon as she said a few words, Roan motioned her to drink some water and rest for a while before continuing.


    According to Verinisi, the chief of the anti-terrorism department submitted an application to the special agent in charge, Corbett, after learning that the detection rate of the No. 5 investigation team''s cases was steadily increasing.


    I want to transfer an old team member of their department to the No. 5 investigation team as the deputy team leader.


    but without success.


    Corbett just threw that application in the trash.


    When Roan heard Corbett''s name, he immediately grinned.


    "But this incident reminded me."


    Speaking of this, Verinisi tilted her head, fixed her eyes on Roan, and said in a deep voice:


    "If there are no accidents, the investigation team No. 5 will solve more and more cases under your leadership.


    As for the position of deputy team leader, which has not yet been held, more and more people will be targeted. "


    Roan''s eyes moved when he heard the words.


    Sure enough, Vernis said immediately:


    "The position of deputy team leader is still a senior detective, so you are also eligible to compete."


    As far as the internal level of the FBI is concerned, the senior agent is above the supervisory special agent, and Augustus, the leader of the No. 5 investigation team, is at this level.


    Even if he is the deputy deputy leader of the No. 5 investigation team, his rank is still a senior agent.


    However, after the position became the deputy team leader, the salary increased from about 3,000 US dollars per month to about 4,000 US dollars.


    Hearing this, Roan''s eyes lit up.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan thought of something again, and raised his brows:


    "But, sir, not long after I was promoted to senior detective, the position of deputy team leader..."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Verinisi''s expression remained unchanged, and she said softly:


    "Because of the previous bombing, the time for Corbett''s transfer to Washington may be brought forward."


    Hearing this, Roan suddenly realized, no wonder Corbett would throw that application into the trash can.


    Reciprocate, that''s all.


    After Corbett is promoted to Washington, there is a high probability that Vernis will take over his position.


    By that time, the new official Verinisi will take the post, and Luo An will naturally have the opportunity to become the deputy leader of the No. 5 investigation team.


    To tell Roan these news, Verinis had two main purposes.


    One of them was the specific course of action described by Roan this time, which scared Vernis a little.


    Dare to use rocket launchers to bomb the enemies of NYPD and FBI, she has not heard of it for a long time.


    Verinis doesn''t want Roan to continue to work so hard when he continues to arrest criminals in the future. Safety of life is the most important thing.


    The second is that Verini wanted to warn Roan, pay more attention to details in the future handling of the case, and try not to leave anything for those who are jealous of Roan.


    ��


    Backing to investigation team No. 5, Roan continued to fiddle with the new computer all afternoon, and then got off work at that point.


    Thursday and Friday, the No. 5 investigation team received no new cases, and the detectives have been dealing with the follow-up work of [the murder of a female judge at the entrance of the bakery] and [the serial murders in the deep pit by the sea].


    On Friday, Mona used three packs of breakfast in exchange for Roan to go find Augustus and ask the Financial Crimes Investigation Section how long it would take to deal with the murderer Salbato Chris in the [Park River Male Corpse Case] support.


    After all, the case has not been resolved, and the bonus has not been obtained.


    Mona has been poor recently.


    Hearing Roan''s question, Augustus only replied:


    "Don''t worry."


    "..."


    Hearing Roan''s reply, Mona lay down on the table speechlessly.


    "How are you doing recently?"


    Seeing Mona who was in a bad mood, Roan suddenly became interested, leaned over to her side and asked with a low smile:


    "Credit card maxed out?"


    "No."


    Mona shook her head, then nodded again:


    "But it''s coming soon."


    Mona didn''t say the specific content, but when he heard words such as discount, price reduction, clothes, bags, cosmetics, etc., Roan understood.


    Then Roan glared at Lacey, blaming her for leading Mona badly.


    Lacey: "???"


    On Saturday, Roan took his helmet and went fishing with Agent Norton, and on Sunday he lay dead at home and watched a movie all day.


    Come to the No. 5 investigation team on Monday, and seeing Augustus walking in with a serious face, Roan sighed.


    Sure enough, a new case came.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 182： 【The Kidnapping of the Chief Financial Officer】

    Chapter 182��The Kidnapping of the Chief Financial Officer��


    "Good morning, hardworking agents!"


    Augus pushed open the door of the No. 5 investigation team, and shouted loudly:


    "Unfortunately, another case happened in New York this morning, and we have work to do!"


    After receiving the materials that William distributed to everyone, Ryder swallowed the breakfast in his mouth and muttered:


    "Damn it, can''t these criminals in New York stop for a day?"


    After hearing this, Roan took the materials and cast a glance at Ryder.


    It is more reliable to hope for world peace than to hope that no case will happen in New York, a place of geomantic omen.


    Looking down at the materials, what I saw was a very beautiful photo of a middle-aged Caucasian woman with a headshot.


    ��The person in the photo is the victim of this case:


    Tris Perez, 41 years old this year, is the chief financial officer of a well-known cosmetics company in New York. "


    After distributing the materials, William introduced to everyone after receiving August��s instruction:


    ��This morning, when Triss Perez was leaving for work, she was kidnapped and taken away 100 meters south of her apartment.


    The caller was a lady who got up early to walk her dog. According to her, the kidnapper was a white man in a suit and leather shoes, with a temperament very similar to someone who worked on Wall Street.


    The incident described by the caller is very simple:


    The man followed Triss, and when Triss walked to a black car, the man pulled out a pistol from nowhere and put it against Triss''s head, while covering her mouth to keep her from making a sound.


    Immediately afterwards, the man opened the trunk of the car, stuffed Triss into it, and drove away from the scene.


    According to the caller, except for the process of tailgating, the man took less than three seconds to do anything, and the man drove away before her dog finished urinating. "


    After listening to William''s description, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team looked different.


    Sure enough, kidnapping only requires the most common behavior.


    According to the data, the person calling the police did not see the license plate of the car clearly, but only saw it driving east.


    Augus took the materials and discussed with the agents, then turned to look at Roan, and asked:


    "Roan, what should we do next, what do you think?"


    Hearing what Augustus said, Roan raised his head:


    "The information shows that Triss''s parents died a few years ago, and she is currently living alone, so Mona and I will go to her house to find clues first.


    Tris is the Chief Financial Officer, which is why this case was brought to us. Ryder and Lacey can go to that cosmetics company later and ask their boss.


    In addition, we also need to check the monitoring of the crime scene area to find the car, which can be taken care of by William and the others. "


    "Great."


    Augus nodded in satisfaction, clapped his hands vigorously, and loudly signaled that everyone would follow Roan''s arrangement in the next process of handling the case, and finally added:


    "Our most important goal now is to quickly find Triss and confirm whether she is dead or alive.


    The first to find a specific clue will be rewarded with a big hamburger!


    Now, everyone act! "


    Hearing Hamburg, all the agents immediately threw a pair of sanitation **** to Augustus, but they still acted quickly.


    The four of Luo An walked into the equipment warehouse, sorted out the equipment, and drove two SUVs to two directions.


    ��


    Tris Perez''s apartment.


    Roan looked around and asked two NYPD patrol officers to help visit the neighbors around Triss, maybe there might be some gains.


    With the search certificate, with the help of the trace inspection department, Roan and Mona successfully entered the apartment.


    "Wow, what a CFO of a cosmetics company."


    As soon as she stepped into the living room, Mona became emotional.


    Because she saw all kinds of lipsticks, masks, facial cleansers and a lot of skin care products.


    This is just the living room, more in the bedroom and bathroom.


    The only place without cosmetics is the study in the apartment.


    The desk in the study room only has computers, keyboards and other items.


    But the bookshelf opposite the desk is filled with materials and books related to federal taxation.


    Walking into the study room, Roan picked up a book related to the federal tax law and flipped through it, then turned around and said to several agents of the Trace Inspection Section:


    "Take away all the electronic devices here, and carefully check the bedroom and bathroom to see if there are any third-party fingerprints or DNA."


    "no problem!"


    Several detectives from the trace inspection department started to get busy. Roan turned and walked back to the living room, only to find that Mona was wearing gloves, looking at some cosmetics with a serious face.


    "What''s wrong, Mona?"


    Roan frowned, did she find a clue?


    Mona turned her head, her voice was low:


    "Roan, I checked carefully just now.


    Add up the price of all the cosmetics in this apartment, they are probably more expensive than the small apartment I bought! "


    Mona, who has been poor recently, has envy, jealousy and hatred written all over her face.


    "All right."


    Hearing this, Roan''s mouth twitched.


    "But this is actually an important clue, Roan."


    Seeing the speechless expression on Roan''s face, Mona rolled her eyes, she felt as if she had been misunderstood by Roan.


    Picking up the cosmetic set on the table in the living room, Mona has a serious face:


    "The market price of this set is 800 US dollars, but Triss just put them in the living room without using them..."


    Hearing the price of cosmetics in Mona''s mouth, Roan subconsciously scolded the cosmetics company, and lamented that women are the most willing to spend money on themselves in the world.


    But immediately afterwards, Roan immediately understood the meaning of Mona''s words, and raised his brows:


    "It shows that Triss doesn''t care about these cosmetics at all, even if they are expensive.


    In other words, Triss didn''t care about the person who gave her these cosmetics at all. "


    "Yeah."


    Roan took out his mobile phone and planned to call Lacey, asking her to investigate who is always sending cosmetics to Triss.


    Just then, there was a sudden noise from the door of the apartment.


    Roan took Mona to the door of the apartment, and found that the other party was a beautifully dressed white woman, and the other party was one of Triss''s neighbors whom the NYPD had just visited.


    After a brief look at the other party, Roan signaled NYPD to let her in.


    "snort!"


    He raised his head and snorted coldly at NYPD with his nostrils. A white woman strode in with a bag on her shoulders.


    "You can just call me Luisa."


    After introducing her name, Louisa''s eyes lit up when she saw Roan''s face.


    But seeing the trace inspection department investigators who were busy in the room, Luisa hurriedly asked:


    "What''s the situation? What about Triss? Where is she now?"


    Roan turned his head and gave Mona a look. Mona nodded calmly, walked aside and began to inquire about Luisa''s information.


    The two of them have become more and more in harmony.


    "terribly sorry."


    Roan took off his gloves and replied:


    "Tris was kidnapped at gunpoint this morning."


    NYPD didn''t tell her that.


    When he said this, Roan stared closely at Luisa''s facial expression.


    When she heard the news that Triss had been kidnapped, Louisa was shocked, but there was nothing wrong with it.


    "Oh My God!"


    Luisa covered her mouth and exclaimed:


    "I was with her last night! We had a few drinks.


    It''s because she was very emotional last night and kept crying, so I''m here now! "


    "Triss is emotionally broken?"


    Roan immediately grasped the point, and asked with a serious face:


    "What exactly is going on?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 183： The car was wrecked within 10 minutes of getting it

    Chapter 183 The car was crashed within 10 minutes of getting it


    "It''s just very broken."


    Maybe she was frightened, Luisa''s hands trembled a little, and her voice was not as proud as before. She carefully explained to Roan:


    "Triss came to my house yesterday after get off work with two bottles of wine.


    Drinking and drinking, she started to cry, saying that she was under too much pressure, life was too crazy, she wanted to die but didn''t dare to die, and so on a lot of messy things.


    Triss��s words were very messy, and she said what she thought, but she didn��t say it deeply, so I didn��t understand it very much, so I had to comfort her all the time...��


    Hearing Luisa''s words, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, and keenly grasped several important points.


    Mona on the side came over at this moment and gave Roan an "OK" gesture.


    "Thank you, Luisa, these words of yours have been very helpful to us."


    Nodding calmly, Roan took Louisa to the side and sat down, and continued to ask:


    "Do you know anything about Triss'' private life? Does she go to nightclubs? Does she smoke flour? Does she have a boyfriend?"


    Roan asked a lot of questions, and Louisa shook her head after listening:


    "I don''t know if Triss has a boyfriend, she hasn''t talked to me about these things.


    But I know that she never does what you just said, she is busy working every day, like a robot..."


    Continued to inquire for a while, Roan finally handed Luisa to Mona, asking her to write down everything Luisa said just now, and he went to the side to call Lacey.


    The call was quickly connected.


    "I''m Lacey."


    Roan asked directly:


    "What''s the situation with Triss''s company?"


    "It''s nothing. Triss''s colleagues were shocked when they heard that she had been kidnapped."


    After taking the coffee that Ryder bought, she nodded to express her gratitude. Lacey downstairs from the cosmetics company said:


    ��According to Triss��s colleagues, Triss�� personal financial situation is very good and she has no arrears.


    She is a little more rigorous when it comes to work, but she is very kind in daily life, and I have never heard of her offending anyone. "


    "Where''s the owner of the cosmetics company? What did he say?"


    Looking down at the cosmetics in the apartment, Roan was a little suspicious of the boss above Triss.


    "It''s not him, it''s her."


    Lacey corrected the word mistakes in Roan''s words, and then said that the boss of the cosmetics company is a white woman in her fifties who will soon be sixty.


    "O...K."


    Roan froze, it seems that he guessed wrong.


    But this is also good news, at least ruled out a wrong idea.


    After thinking for a few seconds, Roan continued to ask:


    "What about Triss'' love life? Have you asked?"


    "Of course I asked, how could I, Lacey, forget this."


    Hearing this, Lacey raised her head and laughed, and said:


    ��The owner of the cosmetics company told Ryder and me that Triss broke up with her boyfriend a month ago.


    But Triss doesn''t look too sad. "


    Really has a boyfriend!


    Roan frowned:


    "Is her boyfriend sad about the breakup?"


    "I have no idea."


    The boss of the cosmetics company doesn''t know, and Lacey certainly doesn''t know.


    "Sorry."


    Roan slapped his head, he ignored this, and asked:


    "What''s the name of Triss''s boyfriend?"


    Lacey asked this point:


    "His name is Loelle Post, and he''s an architect."


    "very good!"


    Roan''s eyes lit up, and he immediately told Lacey and Ryder to go talk to this ex-boyfriend now.


    Hanging up the phone, Roan saw that the detectives from the trace inspection department had almost packed up. Just as he was about to turn around and walk towards Mona, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    Press the answer button, William''s voice came from the other end of the phone:


    "We found the car."


    ��


    "The murderer threw the car into an abandoned factory in Brooklyn."


    Driving at high speed on the pitch-black SUV road, Mona sat on the co-pilot and clapped the keyboard with both hands to explain:


    "The owner of the car was an 18-year-old white youth named Quantle-Wolster, with no criminal record.


    After investigation by William and the others, Quantel was in school at the time of the crime and had no time to commit the crime. "


    "Quanter did not report the loss."


    Roan nodded, then said:


    "In other words, this car was recently stolen by the murderer."


    "Yeah."


    Mona was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Roan with admiration.


    She couldn''t keep up with this speed of reaction.


    Turning the steering wheel, Roan continued to ask:


    "How did William find this car?"


    "Uh, according to your instructions, William and the others carefully checked all the monitoring in the area near the crime scene, and finally succeeded in finding a vehicle that matched the description of the person who reported the crime."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Mona once again showed an expression of envy and hatred, and said:


    "Then William and the others discovered that this car was the latest Mercedes-Benz equipped with a GPS system, so they quickly located the car in Brooklyn."


    "The latest Mercedes?"


    Roan��s mouth twitched, and he turned around and asked:


    "This kind of car was lost, and the 18-year-old Quantel-Wolster didn''t find it?"


    "I really haven''t found it yet."


    Ten fingers tapped on the keyboard, Mona called up Quantel-Wolster''s information, showed it to Roan, and said with a smile:


    "The car was accidentally damaged by Quantel within 10 minutes after it was in the hands of Quantel, and it was sent to a car repair shop for repairs."


    "This driving technology...Cool."


    The SUV was speeding through the traffic on the road, and Roan and Mona soon arrived at the abandoned factory in Brooklyn.


    Every kind of garbage that comes into view.


    In 2005, the economic situation of the Federation was not bad, and there were not too many homeless people.


    If it was three years later, that is, in 2008, when the financial crisis came together, this area would immediately be full of homeless people.


    Opening the door and stepping off the SUV, Roan looked around at the terrain and structure of the abandoned factory, frowning:


    "It''s really a good place to kill and throw corpses."


    "What?"


    Hearing this, Mona was taken aback for a moment, but she didn''t care, and walked quickly to the Mercedes-Benz not far away.


    The car was placed carelessly among all kinds of garbage.


    Not surprisingly, there was no one in the cab of the Mercedes-Benz.


    Seeing that the trunk was tightly closed, Mona immediately opened the door of the driver''s cab, got inside and started looking for the car keys.


    Roan walked to the trunk and looked down, smelled it again, then turned around and left here, picked up an iron rod at random, and started rummaging in the nearby garbage dumps.


    After a lot of effort, Mona, who managed to find the car keys, got out of the car and frowned when she saw Roan''s actions:


    "Roan, what are you doing?"


    "Of course it''s Triss Perez."


    Roan kept moving, explaining:


    "As I said just now, this is a good place to kill and throw away corpses."


    As for the possibility that Triss is still alive and lying in the trunk...


    Thinking about the extremely quick movements of the murderer when he kidnapped Triss, and the murderer driving the car to this abandoned factory to judge others by himself, Roan thinks that the other party will probably not spare Triss''s life.


    "But��"


    Hearing Roan''s narration, Mona''s face was very ugly.


    Makes sense, but it''s too straightforward.


    But since she had found the car keys, there was no reason to give up. Mona immediately walked to the back, pressed the button, and opened the trunk.


    Empty.


    "Sonof than eat!"


    Mona yelled at the murderer.


    Turning to look for Roan, Mona found him standing behind a garbage dump not far away, holding the iron rod he picked up, and standing there with an ugly face.


    Mona was startled when she saw this. She couldn''t imagine what Roan, who was calm and calm in the past and never panicked when encountering problems, saw what made him show this expression.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 184： Chainsaw series

    Chapter 184 Chainsaw series


    Seeing Roan standing behind the garbage dump not far away with an ugly face, Mona hurried over and asked loudly at the same time:


    "Roan, what happened?"


    "Wait a minute! Mona!"


    Hearing Mona''s voice, Roan hurriedly turned around, waved his hand and loudly signaled her not to come.


    But Mona has already walked quickly to the garbage dump at this time, and also saw the scene behind the garbage dump.


    A breeze blew by, and Mona''s face turned pale instantly.


    In a pile of rotting and smelly garbage, there are two corpses of a man and a woman!


    Among them, the watermelon of the male corpse in a striped suit was split in half, and there was a big hole in the belly of the female corpse...


    There are yellow, white and red objects everywhere, and the picture is horrible.


    This kind of scene needs to be mosaiced even in the Federation.


    "Fu-k!"


    The color combination of yellow, white and red had too much impact, Mona hurriedly turned around and left there, cursing in a low voice, suppressing the discomfort in her heart.


    Roan walked up to Mona, patted her on the back, and said helplessly:


    "Is it okay?"


    "Yeah, I''m fine."


    Taking a deep breath, Mona got up and shook her head, showing an ugly smile to Roan.


    When she was in the FBI Academy before, Mona had seen this type of photo of a dead body, and had also observed a dead body up close.


    But the photo is a photo, and the observed corpse was also processed in advance, so it was not so bloody.


    It was the first time for Mona to witness such a scene suddenly.


    And from the perspective of time, Mona is still a newcomer, and does not have as long a work experience as Lacey.


    Feeling Roan''s hand gently patting her back, Mona suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked:


    "Roan, did you look so ugly just now because of the sight of the corpse?"


    Mona had heard from Lacey before that Roan was discussing fast food with the old coroner in the NYPD morgue.


    The scene of the dead body behind the garbage dump is indeed a bit scary, but it doesn''t seem to scare Roan.


    "Yes and no."


    Seeing that Mona''s condition has recovered a lot, Roan replied slowly:


    "I just analyzed something based on the state of the corpse."


    Just now, Mona was far away from the corpse, so she couldn''t see many things clearly, but Roan could see a lot clearly when she stood beside the corpse.


    The four feet of the two corpses were tightly handcuffed together, indicating that the two could not leave each other during their lifetime.


    The nails on the left hands of the two corpses were all pulled out, indicating that they had been tortured by the murderer during their lifetime.


    The purpose of the murderer''s doing this is most likely to get some information from them.


    Not only that, but there is a knife next to the male corpse, a small key in his right hand, and an ax right in front of him.


    Combined with the big hole in the woman''s abdomen and the iron cuffs on the two of them''s feet... Luo An speculates that the murderer has probably seen the chainsaw series released in 2004 and 2005 by a certain director named Wen.


    "Sonof than eat!"


    Hearing Roan''s speculation, Mona''s face became even more ugly, and she asked:


    "You speculate that the female deceased died at the hands of the male deceased, and the male deceased..."


    "Obviously, the murderer lied to him."


    Luo An took out his mobile phone and called the trace inspection department, telling them to send someone over quickly, and bring more bags, if there is less stuff, they won''t be able to hold it.


    Then he explained to Mona:


    "If I''m not mistaken, the murderer should have told the man that as long as he gets the key from the woman, he will be released.


    But when the man actually got the key, the murderer picked up the ax directly..."


    Mona took a breath, and then cursed:


    "****!"


    Roan nodded, this time the murderer obviously had mental problems.


    "correct,"


    Walking back to the SUV, Mona took a sip of a bottle of water, then handed it to Roan:


    "Is the female deceased identified as Triss?"


    Mona didn''t see the faces of the two corpses clearly just now.


    "Yeah, that''s her."


    After taking the water that Mona handed over, he raised his head and took a sip, Roan nodded:


    "But the identity of the male deceased, I''m afraid we won''t know until the trace inspection department finishes the autopsy."


    The watermelon has been turned into two halves. Luo An is not a forensic doctor, so he really can''t judge the other party''s original face with the naked eye.


    Jingle Bell-


    Just then, the phone in Roan''s pocket rang.


    Press the answer key.


    "I''m Roan."


    "It''s me, Lacey."


    Lacey on the other end of the phone said directly:


    "According to your request, I am now in the company of Triss''s architect boyfriend.


    According to colleagues in the company, Loelle Post didn��t come to work today, and he didn��t answer his phone calls. "


    Hearing this, Roan''s eyelids trembled and he asked:


    "...Ask those colleagues, is the clothes Loelle Post wore yesterday a gray striped suit?"


    The other end of the phone paused for a few seconds, and then came Lacey''s affirmative reply:


    "That''s right, that''s it."


    Mona on the side heard the words, closed her eyes and patted her head, while Roan sighed:


    "OK, you and Ryder can return to investigation team No. 5."


    ��


    A few hours later, investigation team No. 5.


    Ryder pushed open the door in front of the office area, distributed the materials in his hand to the agents, and said:


    "This is a rough autopsy report made by the Trace Inspection Division.


    According to the forensic judge, the cause of death of the two victims was the same as what Roan said. Triss Perez died of excessive bleeding in the abdomen, while Loelle Post died of the ax next to him. "


    Hearing Ryder''s words, all the detectives scolded the murderer.


    Sitting on the new chair, Roan took the materials and turned around in situ, then asked:


    "Ryder, did the Trace Inspection Department find any clues at the scene? Are there fingerprints of the murderer on the ax?"


    "They found footprints left by the two murderers at the scene."


    Ryder said that the trace inspection department found no DNA or fingerprints of the murderer, only traces of neoprene were found on the clothes of Triss and Loelle.


    "Neoprene?"


    Mona and Lacey tilted their heads in confusion.


    Ryder spread his hands, he didn''t know what it was.


    "Rubber gloves."


    Roan threw the materials on the table with a speechless face.


    The group of guys in the trace inspection department are always like this, throwing out a bunch of professional terms every time.


    Mona and Ryder suddenly realized when they heard the words, while Lacey next to him frowned:


    "That is to say, we have no way to find the murderer now?"


    The footprints found by the trace inspection department can be taken to court as future evidence.


    But there are no fingerprints, no DNA, no surveillance video and no witnesses. It is impossible to find the murderer only by footprints in New York, a large city with a large population.


    Hearing this, all the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team looked at each other and fell silent.


    "No, we still have a clue that we haven''t checked!"


    When everyone was scratching their heads without thinking, Luo An slapped his hands to attract attention and said:


    "Everyone, don''t forget that the Mercedes was stolen from the car repair shop by the murderer!"


    "right!"


    "Exactly!"


    The three of Mona nodded again and again, and came to their senses:


    "We might have a clue in that auto repair shop!"


    "Yeah."


    Roan stood up and said that he would go to the car repair shop with Lacey to find clues, and then said to Mona with a serious face:


    "Mona, you stay in the No. 5 investigation team, and together with William and the others, carefully investigate the information of Triss and Loelle.


    I feel that there is a big problem behind this case. "


    What kind of information did the murderer want to obtain by interrogating the two of them by such cruel methods as pulling out their nails?


    Mona immediately nodded and agreed after hearing this:


    "Leave it to us!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 185： cat and murderer

    Chapter 185 The Cat and the Murderer


    Queens, a large car repair shop, two kittens, one black and one white, are playing with each other at the door.


    and Lacey crossed the gate and walked into the store, ignoring the messy voices, Roan asked loudly:


    "Who is the manager of this store?"


    "I am!"


    As soon as Luo An finished speaking, a middle-aged white man in a denim suit came over and asked:


    "What are you looking for from me?"


    "FBI, you can call me Roan."


    He took out the golden badge from his pocket and showed it to the other party. Roan asked:


    "Have you lost a new Mercedes?"


    "Yes."


    Hearing Roan''s words, the middle-aged white man nodded hurriedly, stretched out his hand and shook him, and said:


    "My name is Frank Turner.


    Early this morning, as soon as I came here, I found the window at the back door was smashed. "


    Following Frank''s pointing, Roan saw a door with a hole in the lower left corner of the window.


    It is not difficult to see that the murderer broke the glass directly, then reached in and unscrewed the door from the inside.


    Frank took Roan and Lacey to the place where the Mercedes had been parked before, and continued to explain:


    ��When I found out that the Mercedes had been stolen, I immediately called the police.


    But the NYPD just came here to ask a few words, recorded the license plate number, and then left here, leaving me to wait for news. "


    Frank also encountered this kind of thing when he was young. He knew very well that there was a high probability that the Mercedes-Benz would never be found, and he would lose money.


    New York is a city where vehicles are lost every day, but less than one in ten is successfully recovered.


    "OK."


    Looking around the top of his head, Roan pointed to the camera on the side and asked:


    "Did the anti-theft monitor record anything?"


    ��Most of them are under repair, only one is still working.��


    Frank regretted it very much, and urged the maintenance workers before he knew about it.


    Roan nodded:


    "Look at the monitoring."


    Although there is only one camera, the area it is in charge of is between the rear door and the Mercedes-Benz parking position, and maybe something can be found.


    The surveillance video was quickly shown to Roan and Lacey.


    The video shows that the time is 3:30 this morning, and a black shadow walked in from the direction of the back door.


    But unfortunately, the car thief did not walk through the area monitored by the camera, but walked to the Mercedes-Benz from the other side of the area.


    "Shit."


    Lacey frowned, looked back at Frank next to him, and asked in a deep voice:


    "How many people know that the camera in the store is being repaired?"


    Lacey felt that the murderer might be a regular customer of this shop.


    "this��"


    Frank heard this and bowed his head in silence.


    Lacey looked puzzled:


    "Why, can''t you remember?"


    Frank shook his head:


    "No, there are too many people who know that the camera is being repaired, and I''m still counting."


    Lacey: "��"


    "Forget about the camera."


    Before Lacey was speechless and complained, Roan next to him waved and pointed to the screen in the video and asked:


    "Is this black shadow on the ground one of the two cats in front of your store?"


    There is no sound in the surveillance video, but when the car thief entered the hall, the shadow on the ground showed that a black figure had jumped on the car thief, and then quickly left the back door.


    "Not them, I brought them new this morning."


    Looking down at the monitor, Frank''s face was very ugly:


    "The cat in the surveillance is called Bush, and it''s another cat.


    That **** was found stealing a car by Bush and killed it with a gun. "


    A cat named Bush...


    Luo An raised his brows, swallowed his spit, and looked at the shadow in the surveillance that was rushing towards the car thief, he asked in a deep voice:


    "Can you give it to us, please?"


    In the social habits of the Federation, the status of animals such as cats and dogs is often equal to that of family members.


    Because he didn''t know if Frank had the same idea, Roan asked him for his opinion.


    "What?"


    Frank was slightly taken aback:


    "Bush has been buried by me, what do you want it to do?"


    Roan straightened up, turned his head to signal Lacey to copy the surveillance video, and then explained:


    "The video shows that when the car thief appeared, it jumped on the opponent''s body, and the murderer shot it...


    So I feel that it is very likely that when it was frightened, its claws accidentally caught the car thief. "


    If this is the case, the trace inspection department will have the opportunity to find the car thief''s DNA based on the traces on the cat''s paw.


    Hearing Roan''s words, Lacey, who was copying the surveillance video,''s eyes lit up, and hurriedly checked the surveillance video carefully.


    Frank was very shocked, and after a few seconds of silence, he nodded his head and agreed:


    "...OK!"

    At three o''clock in the afternoon, the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Everyone, great news!"


    Just when Mona, William and others were wrestling with computer keyboards, Lacey was busy handing over the Mercedes-Benz car with NYPD, and Roan was sitting in a new chair drinking coffee and circling boredly, Ryder suddenly opened the door and ran came in.


    Seeing everyone''s eyes turned to him, Ryder explained loudly:


    "Roan''s judgment is indeed correct!


    The trace inspection department found some fresh skin tissue in Bush''s two front paws!


    According to the test, we found a name in the database: Roseland-Lewis! "


    After listening to Ryder''s words, Roan clapped his hands with a smile on his face:


    "Nice job, Ryder!"


    "No, it''s Roan, you are amazing!"


    Ryder looked at Roan with admiration on his face, and he also watched the video surveillance brought back by Lacey, not to mention the darkness, and the cat appeared for a very short time.


    Under such circumstances, Roan can find key clues to lock the identity of the enemy...


    Ryder looked at Roan with grateful eyes, and he was also full of fighting spirit. He felt that this week''s bonus was stable again.


    Compared to other members of the No. 5 investigation team, Ryder, who has a wife and son, values ??the bonus after solving the case more.


    Because of this, although Ryder is older than Roan, he has already subconsciously obeyed Roan in the process of handling the case, putting Roan''s order first.


    After receiving the information from Ryder, Roan turned around and said:


    "Mona, next..."


    "I have already found the information on this Roseland-Lewis!"


    Before Roan could finish speaking, Mona threw him a pair of sanitation balls.


    When Ryder said the name, she started looking it up.


    "As expected of Mona, the speed is always so fast."


    Hey hey smiled, turning a blind eye to Mona''s white eyes, Roan asked:


    "What''s the specific situation of this guy?"


    "Rosland-Lewis, 42 years old this year, his parents died, he didn''t go to high school, and his family lives in Uptown Brooklyn."


    Mona tapped her ten fingers on the keyboard, and replied:


    ��At the age of 18, he chose to join the army, and later entered a certain mountain division.


    During some operations, Roseland was very brutal, raped children and raped women many times, causing dissatisfaction and complaints from many teammates.


    At the age of 33, Roseland retired, and the follow-up information is unknown.


    But according to the data, he is one of the suspects in several murder cases, but there is no evidence. So the database speculates that he should have changed his job to become a professional killer. "


    Speaking of this, Mona was taken aback:


    "If Roselan is really just a killer, it means there is someone behind this case."


    Roan nodded:


    "Catch him back first."


    The performance of federal soldiers in other countries is well known, and it is not uncommon for other soldiers to do what Roseland did.


    But Roseland could cause complaints from other soldiers... I think the scene at that time was probably quite unusual.


    Silently raised the danger level of Rosslan''s mental illness in his heart, Roan patted Ryder on the shoulder, and the two walked into the equipment warehouse quickly.


    Looking at Ryder''s back, William scratched his head:


    "This time, Ryder should not be injured."


    Mona: "��"

 Chapter 186： Teeth are knocked out, speech leaks

    Chapter 186 The tooth was knocked out, and the speech leaked


    Uptown Brooklyn.


    A street outside the Roseland-Lewis house, Roann and Ryder sat in an SUV, with a heavily armed SWAT team sitting nearby in a black troop carrier.


    Picking up the watch to check the time, Roan pressed the communicator:


    "Are you at the specified location?"


    Because the FBI database showed that Roseland might have changed his job to become a professional killer, so before the specific action, Roan sent several SWAT team members to quietly go around the house to check the situation.


    "Arrived at the scheduled location!"


    The voice of a SWAT team member came from the communicator:


    "The target person is in the living room on the first floor.


    Besides him, there were two white men in the house.


    The three of them had weapons at hand and were drinking at this time. "


    "Good."


    Roan nodded, glanced at Ryder next to him, pressed the communicator again, and said in a deep voice:


    "Completely block the intersections around the house! Take action!"


    As soon as the voice fell, the door of the SWAT troop carrier opened instantly, and a team of heavily armed SWAT members immediately moved quickly to Roseland''s house, followed by Roan and Ryder.


    Arrived at the gate of the house without a sound. The leading SWAT team did not use the battering hammer this time, but directly raised the shotgun, and smashed the door handle with a "bang".


    Boom��


    Immediately afterwards, another SWAT member kicked open the door and rushed in with a rifle in hand.


    "FBI!"


    "Drop your weapon! Don''t move!"


    "Get on the ground!"


    The moment the door was kicked open by the SWAT team, the three men in the room moved completely differently.


    One of the white men in a suit with a big belly was terrified, and immediately crawled under the table, covering his head, trembling crazily.


    Another white man who was drinking threw away the can of beer in his hand. Without hesitation, he picked up the pistol beside him and pulled the trigger at the SWAT team members.


    boom!


    boom!


    Two gunshots were fired, and the SWAT team members had special bulletproof shields in front of them. The bullets fired by the white men only splashed sparks on it.


    Another bullet was shot by the Glock 18 in Ryder''s hand, and it hit the white man''s chest directly, causing the man''s body to collapse instantly and fell to the ground.


    Seeing his close friend, the pot-bellied white man trembled even more.


    The target of everyone, Roseland Lewis, was getting new beer from the kitchen refrigerator when the door was opened.


    Clah��


    Hearing the voice of the FBI, Roseland jumped out of the house without saying a word, hit his head on the glass and jumped out of the house from the kitchen window, intending to escape from the side of the house.


    "Chase!"


    Seeing this scene, Ryder roared, and immediately turned around and led the SWAT team to leave through the door behind everyone, and ran out of the house to hunt down the opponent.


    Roan, who was fully armed, squinted his eyes when he saw this, and ran directly into the kitchen, and turned out along the glass that Roseland smashed.


    Boom!


    The moment Roan turned out the window, Roan was just about to get up when he saw Roseland running towards him.


    "?"


    Seeing the other party stretched out his grasping hand towards him, Roan''s brain turned, and he instantly understood the other party''s thoughts:


    Take yourself hostage.


    After all, several entrances and exits that could leave the house were blocked by SWAT team members arranged by Roan in advance.


    The only way to get out of here is to take a hostage and use him to threaten the SWAT team.


    It happened that he followed him and jumped out alone.


    only��


    Watching the opponent running towards him, Roan grinned, then got up and kicked.


    Seeing the smile on Roan''s face, Roslan, who was really thinking about taking hostages in his heart, was slightly taken aback.


    But now the situation is urgent, the surrounding area has been blocked by SWAT team members, and there is only one lone guy who jumped out of the house after him, who can be caught as a hostage.


    The opponent was indeed heavily armed, but Roseland did not panic in the slightest.


    Relying on his many years of experience as a killer and the fighting experience honed by life-and-death leaders, Roseland has sufficient confidence.


    He is confident that in just a few seconds, he can turn all the equipment on the opponent into his own weapons.


    Especially when he saw that the other party kicked him instead of shooting him immediately, a smile appeared on Roseland''s face.


    This is sure.


    Raising his arm to resist Roan''s kicking thigh, Roseland blinked.


    Why?


    The wind from this foot seems a bit loud?


    Bang!


    kicked hard, several teeth flying in the air, before Roselan could react, he flew upside down like a cannonball, and then fell headfirst into the trash can next to him.


    "If one force falls ten times, the ancients will never deceive me."


    Putting his legs down, Luo An smiled. The stamina potions and strength potions these days were indeed not in vain.


    Roseland received Roan''s kick, his ears buzzed, and his eyes stared.


    If it wasn''t for years of exercise, Roseland''s head would be relatively hard, and he felt like his brain would be kicked out.


    Climbing out of the fallen trash can, Roseland felt his head aching, and reached out to touch his face, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, all covered in blood.


    "Fu-k!"


    Roselan was just about to stand up and fight back, but Roan had already walked to his side.


    Kicking the pistol on the ground to the distance, Roan took out the handcuffs, and handcuffed Roseland, who was staring at the stars, with three strokes.


    "#%��*..."


    Roseland, who finally came to his senses, cursed loudly, but because a few teeth were knocked out, his speech was a bit leaky, so Roan waved his hand:


    "Stop scolding, stop scolding, I can hardly hear what you are talking about."


    Hearing this, Roseland''s face instantly turned red.


    Especially when Roan was kind enough to help him point out the teeth on the ground and asked him if he wanted to keep them as souvenirs, Roseland almost vomited blood in anger.


    At this moment, Ryder and a group of SWAT players also arrived here:


    "Roan! You''re all right...."


    Seeing Roseland''s swollen face and Roan who was smiling, Ryder felt a bit speechless halfway through his worried words.


    A group of SWAT members were shocked by Roan''s ability to catch the opponent so quickly, but they were also very puzzled when they saw the situation on Roselan''s face.


    In just a few seconds, what happened?


    "I''m fine."


    Patting Ryder on the shoulder, Roan handed the fragrant Roseland to the SWAT team and asked:


    "What about the guy in the house hiding under the table?"


    "I don''t know, he looks afraid of us, but he doesn''t say a word."


    Ryder shook his head:


    "But I have already asked the SWAT team to arrest him and send his photo back to the investigation team No. 5.


    With Mona''s speed, he should be able to find out his identity soon. "


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, turned around and was about to walk into Roseland''s house to search for clues.


    Right at this moment, that feeling of general discomfort came to my mind again.


    Although he lacked the urgency of burning his butt, Roan still stood still abruptly.


    Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two SWAT team members pulling Roseland towards the personnel carrier not far away. Thinking that the other party had interrogated Triss and Loelle by pulling out his nails, Roan suddenly thought of something, and his pupils constricted. , hastily shouted loudly:


    "Everyone! Get down!"


    "What?"


    Hearing Roan''s shout, everyone present was taken aback. Although they didn''t know what happened, they subconsciously bent over and lay down.


    Boom��


    At this moment, a bullet hole suddenly appeared on the SWAT personnel carrier.


    Immediately afterwards, a special gunshot appeared in the ears of everyone present.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 187： Sniper!

    Chapter 187 Sniper!


    "Sniper!"


    "Snipers! Take cover!"


    The bullets are in front and the sound is in the back. All the SWAT team members present understood the current situation, shouted hastily and bent down to find a cover.


    Not only that, one of the SWAT players who served in the Marine Corps also explained aloud:


    "M40! The sniper rifle used by the opponent is M40!"


    He is very familiar with this gun.


    "Where''s Roseland?"


    Hearing the model of the sniper rifle, Roan frowned, and hurriedly asked loudly about the situation of their target:


    "How is Roseland-Lewis doing now?"


    The moment a bullet hole appeared on the SWAT personnel carrier just now, Roan clearly saw a smear of blooming blood.


    Behind the personnel carrier, because they heard Roan shouting and hurriedly got down, the SWAT team members who felt that they had saved their lives looked at Roan gratefully.


    At the same time, the SWAT team member clasped his hands tightly to Roseland''s bleeding neck on the ground, and shouted:


    "Roslan was shot at the edge of the neck! Call an ambulance immediately!"


    Although the edge of the neck was shot, he was still saved.


    If it weren''t for Roan''s yell just now, two SWAT members subconsciously pressed Rosslan, and according to the location of the bullet marks on the personnel carrier, Rosslan had been headshot just now.


    Thinking of this, Ryder and all the SWAT players looked at Roan with shock and gratitude.


    As for how Roan pre-discovered the sniper, the people present did not ask Roan what he thought. They had already thought of the reason for Roan in their hearts:


    Intuition.


    Whether it is soldiers in the army or these SWAT players, they have been fighting the enemy all year round, and they have more or less their own intuitions, and these intuitions can often save their lives.


    In the eyes of all the SWAT players, Roan is obviously the kind of person with a particularly strong sense of intuition.


    Thinking of this, most of the SWAT team members put Roan at the top of the list of "most want to go on a mission together", and plan to build a good relationship with Roan in the future, and invite him to go out for a drink after the mission is over.


    The reason is very simple. If you go on a mission with a person like Roan with a strong intuition, the chance of surviving must be greater.


    Knowing that Roselan was not dead, Roan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pressed the communicator and said loudly:


    "Call an ambulance and come as quickly as possible!"


    "OK!"


    Hearing the affirmative reply in the contact, Roan hurriedly got up to observe the bullet marks on the personnel carrier, his thoughts turned quickly.


    The SWAT team member just said that the opponent is using an M40 sniper rifle, and the effective range of the sniper rifle is 1000 yards, which is about 910 meters.


    There is a difference of about 2 seconds between the time when the bullet marks appeared and the time when the sound appeared. The speed of the sound is 340, plus the wind speed and where Roseland was just now...


    Soon, Roan identified several places where the suspected snipers shot, and then led all the agents to rush there.


    Unfortunately, when the SWAT team arrived at those locations, no sniper was found.


    Based on the killer''s experience, Roan managed to lead Ryder on the roof of an uninhabited villa and found traces of the enemy''s shooting.


    But the opponent was obviously an experienced old fritter. He retreated immediately after missing a shot. He was very decisive and left no relevant clues to determine the identity of the opponent.


    ��


    When Roan and Ryder returned to the No. 5 investigation team, it was very late and they were about to get off work.


    "Now the case is getting more and more complicated."


    Hearing the news that someone used a sniper rifle, Augustus couldn''t sit still in the team leader''s office.


    Like the rocket launcher, the sniper rifle is also a weapon that both NYPD and FBI attach great importance to.


    Roan, who was sitting on the chair, rubbed his temples, feeling a little pain in his head.


    Seeing the frowning Roan, Mona poured him a cup of coffee silently and said:


    "Ryder and Lacey are on duty tonight to take care of Roseland. The guy''s neck injury is a bit serious, and the operation may take a long time.


    But once he''s done with surgery, we''ll have an interrogation. "


    Having said that, Mona, William and the others cast admiring glances at Roan.


    They also heard that Roan''s intuition was very accurate.


    "Regarding Roseland, the circumstances of this case have become much clearer."


    Picking up the coffee and taking a sip, Roan thanked Mona in a low voice, then walked to the front of the office area, pulled a whiteboard to write and draw, and analyzed:


    "Roselan was hired to kidnap Triss Perez and Loelle Post in order to get some information out of them.


    Wait for them to tell the news, Roseland killed them and threw their bodies in the trash.


    Without the cat named Bush, we may never find Roseland, and this case will become an unsolved case. "


    "That''s right."


    Augustus, who was standing next to the whiteboard, nodded and said:


    "When we went to arrest Roselan, the people behind the scenes sent killers to use sniper rifles to kill people, trying to completely erase the clues of this case.


    So, who is behind this scene? What exactly are they trying to hide? "


    "have no idea."


    Draw a big hello on the whiteboard, Roan threw the pen casually, turned around, and said to Augustus with a serious face:


    "But I''m worried about another thing now."


    "That Roseland''s life is safe, right?"


    Augustus patted his stomach, indicating that he knew what Roan was thinking, and explained:


    ��In addition to Ryder and Lacey, I also contacted two teams of SWAT players.


    They will take care of Roseland 24 hours a day and never let Roseland out of their sight. "


    "It''s not just Roseland."


    Roan shook his head:


    "Roseland is important, but he is not the most important."


    Augus was taken aback, and asked in doubt:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    "There is also our No. 5 investigation team, we are the main force to solve the case."


    Poured himself a cup of coffee, raised his head and poured it into his stomach, Roan said:


    "If the mastermind behind the scenes is pushed into a hurry, they may attack the agents of our No. 5 investigation team."


    "What?"


    "impossible."


    Hearing this, the faces of William and other technical agents became tense, Mona slapped the table and stood up, and Augustus''s **** face darkened several times:


    "you sure?"


    Kidnapping and murdering FBI agents will only make you fall into the federal FBI''s targeting and investigation. This kind of price is not affordable for ordinary people.


    But this situation is not unheard of.


    "I am not sure."


    Roan shook his head, he was not sure about this kind of thing.


    But considering that the other party dared to use a mentally problematic killer like Roseland...


    Before handling this kind of case, there must always be psychological preparation and advance planning, isn''t it?


    "Sonof than eat!"


    Augus cursed in a low voice, folded his arms around his chest and turned his eyes straight, with an uncertain expression on his face.


    After pondering for a long time, Augustus let out a long breath, raised his head and said:


    "Luo An, you can lead our No. 5 investigation team to solve the case, and leave this kind of thing to me!"


    When encountering such a thing, Augustus never thought of backing down. As a leader, it is his responsibility to protect the people below.


    "Okay, sir."


    Roan nodded, he likes a leader like Augustus who really matters.


    Augus quickly left the office area, Roan frowned, turned to look at Mona, and asked:


    "How about Mona, I asked you about Charteris''s information before, did you find anything?"


    "I didn''t find any clues here, Triss."


    Hearing this, Mona sat back in her original position, fluttering her ten fingers on the keyboard, and said:


    "But in her boyfriend, Loelle Post, I found something incredible."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 188： The true master of the company

    Chapter 188 The real controller of the company


    Hearing that Mona found a clue in another dead person, Roan immediately became interested.


    "Loelle Post is an architect and he has a small firm."


    Mona pulled out the information of the construction company, showed it to Roan, and said:


    "A month and a half ago, the company''s capital chain had some problems.


    But it didn''t take long for the company to have a new fund to plug this gap. "


    Roan sat on the chair and said with a smile:


    "If I''m not mistaken, the owner behind this fund is Triss."


    Snapped!


    Mona raised her hand and snapped her fingers, indicating that Roan had guessed right. She continued typing a few times on the keyboard and said:


    "The amount of money is not small, and Triss can''t afford it by herself.


    The only explanation I can think of is that Triss used her position as CFO to misappropriate funds from the cosmetics company. "


    Roan nodded, this is also his speculation.


    "And one more thing."


    Immediately afterwards, Mona called up another document, which contained a consumption record:


    "This is Loelle''s spending record at a well-known French restaurant in Manhattan a month ago.


    I checked the dining situation of that restaurant, and found that that night, Loelle booked the restaurant for two hours with the purpose of proposing to Triss. "


    "Um?"


    Hearing this, Luo An immediately straightened up and became interested.


    Looking carefully at the time of the proposal, Roan frowned and asked:


    "The time Lacey said before that Triss and Loelle broke up seems to be the day after the proposal."


    "Exactly!"


    Mona nodded heavily:


    "Although I don''t know what exactly happened during the proposal, but according to the waiter in the restaurant, the two had a very unpleasant quarrel that night."


    "Tsk tsk tsk."


    Roan put his hands on his chin and leaned back on the chair.


    Loelle and Triss have been together for more than two years. Loelle''s company has problems, and Triss even embezzled the company''s public funds to help him.


    But why did Triss reject Loelle''s marriage proposal?


    After being silent for a while, Roan suddenly thought of something and asked:


    "I remember Loelle has a younger brother?"


    Mona looked at the information and nodded.


    ��


    The next day, in the morning.


    Queens, in the construction company, upon learning of Roan and Mona''s intentions, Loelle''s younger brother Trent Post shook his head:


    "Sorry, I don''t know anything about my brother''s marriage proposal."


    Hearing this, the smile on Mona''s face slowly disappeared, while the smile on Roan''s face became brighter:


    "Are you sure about this statement, Mr. Post?"


    "Why, can''t it?"


    Trent narrowed his eyes slightly:


    "Under federal law, I have the right to refuse to answer your questions."


    "Of course you have that power, but we also have the right to investigate anyone involved in a criminal case."


    He and Mona poured a cup of coffee, took a sip, and Roan said with a smile:


    "That means we can subpoena your call records, emails.


    and your Internet browsing records at night, etc. "


    "What did you say?"


    Trent''s face changed, and Roan continued to say unhurriedly:


    "In addition, according to our investigation, your brother''s construction company has some financial problems. We have the right to investigate its operating conditions and financial information..."


    "OK! OK!"


    Hearing this, Trent, who owns the shares of this construction company, finally couldn''t sit still, and slowly squeezed out a stiff smile on his face:


    "Don''t be so serious, Mr. Detective.


    What question did you just ask? The circumstances of my brother''s proposal, right, I do know a few things. "


    "Then let''s talk."


    Put the coffee cup back on the table, Roan pouted. The quality of the coffee was too low to taste. Then he stared at Trent''s expression and movements when he spoke.


    Seeing the disgusted expression on Roan''s face, Trent twitched the corner of his mouth, pondered for a few seconds and said slowly:


    ��My brother failed to propose that night, and he tried to get the woman back afterward, but they ended up breaking up.


    The reason for the breakup was mainly because the woman said that she could fall in love with my brother, but she couldn��t get married, because she was under too much pressure, her life was too crazy and so on.


    Hearing these reasons, my brother was very angry, thinking that she was prevaricating himself.


    But my brother really likes that woman, so for more than a month, he always came to me for drinks. "


    Roan continued to ask:


    "Did your brother mention, what is the stress and madness that Triss said?"


    "No."


    Trent shook his head:


    "My brother hasn''t told me, and I don''t think he knows.


    If my brother knew, he probably wouldn''t have broken up with that woman, wouldn''t he? "


    "Mr. Post."


    As soon as Trent''s voice fell, Roan patted his thigh and stood up, with the same smile on his face:


    "The information shows that you graduated from Harvard University.


    As a top student at Harvard University, why did you choose to lie in front of FBI agents? "


    Hearing this, Mona, who was recording something, hurriedly stopped what she was doing, and then cast a cold look at Trent.


    In Mona''s cognition, if Roan said that the other party lied, then the other party must have lied.


    "What?"


    Trent was taken aback, with a look of panic in his eyes.


    Roan took a step forward, with the same smile but a cold tone:


    "When you talk, you pull your collar, your eyes are erratic, and your words and body behavior are completely opposite...Mr. Trent, has anyone ever told you that you are actually very good at lying?"


    "me��"


    Seeing the cold light in Roan''s eyes in front of him, Trent broke out in cold sweat, not knowing what to say.


    Snapped!


    Seeing this, Roan slammed the table hard, which shocked Trent.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan turned back directly and said to Mona:


    "Call the team leader, Trent Post has repeatedly concealed things from the FBI, hindering our investigation, apply now..."


    "No!"


    Before Roan finished speaking, Trent hurriedly shouted:


    "I say it! I say it all!"


    Mona, who was taking out her mobile phone, heard this, and cast a look of admiration at Roan calmly.


    The corners of Luo An''s mouth curled up slightly, it''s just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.


    The office was quiet for a long time. Facing Roan''s indifferent eyes, Trent opened his mouth and finally revealed what he was hiding.


    "Actually, my brother proposed to Triss for another purpose."


    Trent picked up the coffee and poured it all down his stomach, saying:


    "Through Triss, find a way to get the shares of that cosmetics company."


    After graduating from university, he has been struggling in the society for so many years. Although Loelle has a small company, the company''s operating conditions have not been good.


    It happened that Loelle met Triss at that time, so he came up with the idea of ??relying on Triss to reach the pinnacle of life.


    "..." x2


    Hearing Trent''s narration, Roan was speechless, while Mona''s face was full of disdain.


    As a woman, she is very disgusted with this behavior of deceiving people under the guise of love.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Roan asked with some doubts:


    "Tris is just the CFO of that cosmetics company.


    How does Loelle want to get shares in the company from her? "


    "My brother didn''t tell me the detailed method."


    Trent swallowed, and said truthfully:


    "But once my brother was drunk, he said that the cosmetics company, in a sense, the female boss is just a puppet, and the real controller is actually the chief financial officer Triss Perez."


    "What?"


    Hearing this, Mona raised her head in shock.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 189： Moved money that shouldnt be moved?

    Chapter 189 Moved money that shouldn''t be moved?


    The SUV drove towards the Jacobs Federal Building at high speed.


    Mona was sitting in the co-pilot, looking at the small notebook in her hand and scratching her head. Roan turned the steering wheel and drove the SUV to quickly overtake a car, and asked in a concentrated voice:


    "The white man with the big belly we caught yesterday, have you found out his identity?"


    "Of course, and I also figured out why he went to Roseland yesterday."


    Mona nodded, opened the laptop, tapped a few times and said:


    "That guy is a killer broker named Adam, who has worked with Roselan before.


    He went to Roseland yesterday because he had an order and wanted to ask the other party if he would accept it.


    The order to kill Triss was Roseland''s private work, and Adam didn''t know it. "


    "OK."


    Roan was just about to continue asking questions when the phone in his pocket rang suddenly.


    Press the answer button, and a familiar voice comes from the other end of the phone:


    "It''s me, Lacey."


    "Thank you for your hard work."


    Lacey and Ryder had been guarding Roseland last night, and it was really hard.


    The two exchanged a few simple greetings, and Roan asked:


    "How about it, did Roseland confess?"


    "No, he didn''t say anything."


    In the corridor of the hospital, Lacey looked at Roseland lying on the hospital bed with an angry face, and said through gritted teeth:


    "No matter what method Ryder and I use, Rosland will not say who asked him to kill Triss and Loelle."


    Hearing this, Mona in the co-pilot frowned.


    She didn''t understand why the mastermind behind the scenes asked someone to shoot Roselan with a sniper to silence him, but Roselan still chose not to confess.


    Roan, who was driving, nodded expressionlessly:


    "It''s about the same as I thought."


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Mona and Lacey were puzzled when they heard this.


    Luo An didn''t make a fool of himself, and explained in his own way:


    "This shows that the pressure on Roseland by the black hands behind the scenes is far greater than the pressure we put on him.


    In other words, Roseland felt that if he refused to confess and went to prison, he might still have a chance to survive.


    If he confesses, even with the help of the FBI, Roseland feels that he will die. "


    This is a new thought in Roan''s mind after hearing Trent''s words just now.


    "Fu-k!"


    "Sonof than eat!"


    Mona and Lacey are yelling.


    But they are also aware of a problem, that is, the mastermind behind the scenes is probably more powerful than they imagined.


    "Lacey, you and Ryder go back to investigation team No. 5 first."


    Glancing at Mona, who was sitting in the co-pilot with an uncertain face, Roan hung up the phone without changing his expression.


    ��


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    "Everyone!"


    Standing at the front of the office area, Roan held a folder and said loudly to the eyes of the agents:


    "According to the description of the male victim''s younger brother, Triss Perez is the real leader of the cosmetics company.


    So next, we will carefully explore all the information of Triss.


    The information this time must be detailed!


    We not only need to know where Triss was born and which university she went to, but also who she has come into contact with, who they are, and which hotel she has stayed in in recent years, where she has traveled, and Who are her phone contacts! "


    "clear!!"


    Hearing Roan''s request, Mona, William and other technical agents were all scalp numb, but they still agreed loudly.


    Seeing everyone''s fingers start to dance on the computer keyboard, Roan nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Augustus:


    "Sir, I need your help with something."


    Augus'' mouth twitched when he heard this.


    Said it was a request, but Roan''s tone obviously did not mean to let him refuse.


    Who is the chief?


    But Augustus didn''t care about this matter, after all, solving the case is important, so he asked directly:


    "What''s up?"


    "I want to check the financial status of Triss''s cosmetics company."


    Roan replied:


    "But none of us in investigation team No. 5 is proficient in this aspect.


    Besides, Triss is the chief financial officer herself, and her accounts must be difficult to check, so we need someone to help. "


    Contacting all the previous clues, Roan now seriously suspects that the cosmetics company has financial problems.


    For example, Triss moved money that should not be moved.


    In order not to scare the snake away, I can''t apply for a search warrant now, but can only investigate secretly.


    Hearing what Roan said, Augustus rolled his eyes, smiled and nodded in agreement:


    "OK, leave it to me."


    Seeing Roan standing with his hips akimbo at the front of the office area, Augustus strode away from the No. 5 investigation team, Mona, William and other agents looked strange.


    Who is the leader of the No. 5 investigation team?


    When Lacey and Ryder finally drove back from the hospital, they saw this scene:


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, all the detectives were sweating profusely, typing on the computer keyboards in unison.


    In the conference room, seven or eight large boxes were stacked together. Augustus, a thin middle-aged white woman, and several young men and women in black suits were frantically busy among piles of paper and computers.


    Roan sat at his desk, circling around with a folder, and occasionally took a sip of coffee.


    Lacey, Ryder: "��"


    A few hours later, Mona, William and other technical agents finally investigated Triss''s entire experience from birth to the present, as well as who she came into contact with, and the identities of those people.


    "Good job!"


    Roan got up and left the chair, strode to the front of the office area, pulled a whiteboard and asked:


    "How about it, have you found any problems?!"


    "I found something!"


    William raised his hand and said loudly:


    "The information shows that Triss is an orphan who grew up in a certain church in California.


    But that church was demolished a few years ago because of some cases. The information inside showed that Triss left there when she was four years old, and the adopter was a white woman.


    When Ketris was in school, the data showed that she had been in church. "


    "So Triss actually had a hiatus out of nowhere."


    Roan nodded, wrote this on the whiteboard, then turned and continued to ask:


    "Any more?"


    "I also found a special place here."


    Mona raised her hand and said:


    "Since Triss came to New York at the age of 30, every three months, from the 25th to the 29th, she will leave New York by plane and go to California."


    "What''s the situation? Where did you go?"


    Lacey on the side leaned her head over, wondering:


    "Los Angeles? Hollywood?"


    Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to her, Mona explained:


    "According to the information, the place she went to was Malibu."


    Malibu, located in the west of Los Angeles, is famous for its sandy beaches and sunshine.


    This is a high-end residential area, a favorite place for celebrities, surfers and people with dreams. Since the 1950s, it has been the shooting location of many American movies.


    Lacey scratched her head:


    "So, does Triss go there for a vacation every three months to relax?"


    "I''m afraid not."


    Thinking of what William said just now, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, and had a guess in his mind, so he asked:


    "Mona, can you find out where Triss went in Malibu? Who was she with during those few days?"


    Roan felt that he was getting closer to the truth.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 190： the truth

    Chapter 190 The Truth


    "The information shows that Triss has a small villa in Malibu."


    Mona danced her ten fingers on the keyboard, and replied:


    "Every time Triss arrived at the villa, she would be picked up from there.


    I looked up the car that picked her up. The owner''s name was Juan Alberto Canas. "


    After repeating this somewhat awkward name, it obviously comes from the Spanish family name, and Roan asked:


    "Who is he? What about the identity information?"


    "I know him, that guy is a rich, rich man."


    Before Mona could answer, Lacey, who had been sitting next to her, stood up and said solemnly:


    "And his father was one of the leaders of the previous generation of MS-13."


    MS-13, one of the most dangerous gangs in the Federation, originated in El Salvador, South America, and its members are located in every state and major city in the United States.


    Not only that, MS-13 is also involved in Lao Mo''s drug trade, and the methods are more cruel and radical than the local gangs.


    The FBI database shows that members of the organization in the San Francisco area brutally murdered a family just because they blocked the guy''s car.


    When Lacey worked in the Intelligence Service, she collected information about the MS-13 gang organization and met Juan Alberto Canas'' father.


    Unlike the other guys in MS-13 who have been struggling at the bottom of society, Kanas''s father fought desperately in the gang, and after gaining a certain status, he immediately sent Kanas to the Federation and asked him to study hard .


    Kanas lived up to his father��s expectations. Not only did he perform well, he often received scholarships, and finally he was admitted to Boston University and was evaluated by the university��s outstanding graduates.


    "So, you mean to say"


    Ryder also recalled it at this time, with an incredible expression on his face:


    "As the chief financial officer of a big company, Triss is with this guy Karnas every once in a while?"


    "I''m afraid Triss is not the only one."


    Thinking of Triss�� blank experience when she was a child, the time when Kanas��s father sent Kanas into the Federation, and Kanas��s age this year��


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued to ask:


    "Does Karnas meet other people every once in a while?"


    "You''re right."


    Checked the entire itinerary of the car that picked up Triss, Mona made a list on the computer, and said with a serious face:


    "In addition to Triss, there are three other people who are about her age. They are all women, and their occupations are also the chief financial officers of certain companies."


    "Good."


    Patted Mona on the shoulder, Roan thought for a while, looked at William and asked:


    "How did you check the phone records of those people around Triss?"


    "We found two unexpected phone records."


    William leaned back and showed Roan the information in the computer.


    Roan looked down and slapped his chin hard:


    "I knew it!"


    Immediately afterwards, Roan took the folder and walked quickly to the front of the office area, and began to write and draw on the whiteboard.


    Time passed for a long time, and the whiteboard was covered with handwriting. Luo An straightened up and threw the pen away, facing the eyes of the agents, he explained:


    "According to the information gathered by everyone in our No. 5 investigation team, the truth of this case can almost be revealed."


    Kanas''s father, although born in a humble background, has a very long-term vision.


    Not only did he realize the importance of knowledge, he kept Kanas away from the fighting inside MS-13, and sent Kanas to study in the Federation, making a plan for Kanas'' future.


    Kanas�� father recruited young female orphans in advance, brainwashed them to obey Kanas��s words in the future, and then asked them to study hard so that they could become Kanas��s future support.


    After graduating from college, Karnas began to send these women to help him manage the company as the chief financial officer, and Triss was one of them.


    As Kanas grows older, although Triss, who has entered the age of a tiger and wolf and lived in other places for a long time, does not have the courage to resist Kanas, she does have the courage to find a boyfriend to make her happy.


    Thinking that the boss of the cosmetics company is a puppet, and his role is probably to monitor Triss, Roan thinks that Kanas probably knows about Triss looking for a boyfriend, and he just turned a blind eye.


    Judging from her performance over the years, Triss is the kind of woman who can distinguish priorities.


    However, Roan thinks there is another possibility, that is, one-to-many all the year round, and Karnas, who is getting older and older, must be unable to hold on...


    But Karnas didn''t expect that Loelle, who wanted to rely on Triss to reach the pinnacle of life, tried his best every time he played the game, which made Triss'' heart get closer and closer to Loelle, and finally even secretly Helped Loair solve the capital chain problem of the construction company.


    When Loelle proposed to her, Triss suddenly came to her senses, and then gritted her teeth and rejected him.


    But Triss still has Loelle in her heart, and she hates this double life, so she finds someone to drink and cry after get off work.


    The duty of the female boss of the cosmetics company is to monitor Triss. When she found that Triss was guarding herself and stealing, she was drunk and asked someone to cry, so she called Kanas.


    Upon hearing the news, Karnas did not hesitate at all, and immediately asked his subordinates to contact Roseland-Lewis.


    These are the two phone records that William just mentioned. They appeared just a few hours before Loelle and Triss were kidnapped by Roseland-Lewis, one after the other.


    "Sonof than eat!"


    "Shit!"


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Mona and Lacey cursed in a low voice.


    Ryder looked at the content on the whiteboard and asked thoughtfully:


    "So, the purpose of Rosslan''s interrogation of Triss and Loelle by pulling out the nails is the flow of the funds, right?"


    Luo An heard the words, shook his head and denied:


    "No, it shouldn''t be!"


    Hearing this, Mona and Lacey, who were just about to nod, were taken aback for a moment, and Ryder froze in pouring coffee. The three of them looked at Roan in unison, and asked:


    "what is that?"


    "Don''t forget, Karnas'' father was one of the leaders of the previous generation of MS-13."


    Pointing to the information and photos in Mona''s computer, Roan took a sip of coffee and said:


    ��Although his father has passed away, Ekanas still maintains a close relationship with MS-13, and these photos are proof.


    Moreover, the information shown by Mona just now shows that the companies controlled by Kanas and these women are not small, but most of them are fixed assets.


    Karnas has always had a good cash flow, and those companies have never been short of funds since their establishment.


    For this situation, there is only one reason I can think of, and that is..."


    Before Luo An finished speaking, all the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team suddenly realized, and Qiqi said:


    "Money Laundering!"


    "Exactly!"


    Roan nodded, this should be the reason why Karnas rushed to interrogate and kill Triss and Loelle.


    Kanas wanted to know if Triss had told other people about this matter, after all, what he was most afraid of was the exposure of money laundering.


    That was his foundation.


    At this moment, the door of the meeting room opened suddenly, and Augustus walked out with a smile on his face.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 191： IRS and Arrests

    Chapter 191 IRS and Arrest


    "Your guess is right, Roan!"


    After listening to Roan''s analysis, Augustus smiled and patted him on the shoulder very satisfied:


    "That cosmetics company is indeed suspected of money laundering! The amount exceeds 100 million, and we have found evidence!"


    "Very good!"


    "I knew it!"


    Hearing what Augustus said, all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team showed joy, clapping their hands and cheering loudly.


    Not surprisingly, this week''s bonus has been settled again.


    Everyone looked at Roan''s back and felt that he seemed to be shining.


    Golden light!


    After cheering, Ryder said directly:


    "I''m going to apply for the formalities now, and then arrest the boss of the cosmetics company!"


    "Wait a moment!"


    Ryder was about to leave the No. 5 investigation team excitedly, but Roan hurriedly stopped him.


    Waved his hand to signal Ryder to wait a few minutes, Roan turned around and walked into the team leader''s office with Augustus.


    The two sides sat down, Augustus asked:


    "What''s the matter, Roan, what did you find?"


    Roan didn''t make a fool of himself, and said directly:


    "It''s easy to catch the boss of the cosmetics company.


    But the real culprit behind this case is that Kanas, and we have no direct evidence related to him yet. "


    It was Kanas'' driving subordinate who called Rosslan-Lewis, the killer.


    With Kanas��s financial resources, he could afford a lawyer who defended his innocence, and then said in front of the judge that this matter had nothing to do with him.


    Those companies controlled by women have a bunch of shell companies and limited companies behind them, and their registration is still in the Cayman Islands.


    If you want to find out the composition of the shares behind it and find the money laundering evidence of Karnas, it will be impossible to complete it in a short time.


    If the time is delayed for too long, it will be very detrimental to the case.


    "It''s okay, Roan, I''ll take care of it."


    Hearing Roan''s worried words, Augustus smiled slightly to show that he was not panicked at all.


    "Um?"


    Roan was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, the worry on his face gradually disappeared, and asked:


    "I don''t know what the officer plans to do?"


    "This is a money laundering case involving hundreds of millions of dollars."


    Augustus picked up the coffee and took a sip. Satisfied with Roan''s reaction speed, he replied:


    "When you catch the boss of the cosmetics company, the rest will naturally be handed over to professionals."


    Who are the professionals?


    Of course the IRS!


    Hearing this, the expression on Roan''s face suddenly lit up.


    Investigating money laundering evidence is very troublesome, not only time-consuming, but also requires a lot of manpower.


    Their No. 5 investigation team doesn''t have that many people at all, and they can''t devote all their follow-up time to this case.


    Passing the follow-up to the IRS and letting the IRS watch Kanas and find evidence not only saves time and effort, but also that group of people is definitely more active than the No. 5 investigation team, and they also want to send Kanas to prison.


    Luo An and the others don��t have to worry about being robbed of their credit, because their No. 5 investigation team handled the case earlier, and they also arrested the people involved.


    If people hold it in their hands, credit cannot escape.


    Afterwards, not only the bonus can be secured, but also the reward after Kanas is sent to prison, the IRS must also distribute a share to their No. 5 investigation team.


    After figuring out the joints, Roan looked at Augustus with admiration.


    As expected of a person who came out of the Criminal Investigation Section, the means to push the boat along the way are really easy to come by.


    Seeing Roan''s eyes, Augustus looked calm on the surface, but he already laughed out loud in his heart.


    Finally installed it in front of Luo An, it''s not easy!


    Coughed twice, Augustus put down the coffee cup in his hand, and said in a deep voice:


    "So, next we must catch the boss of the cosmetics company, she is very important."


    "no problem!"


    Luo An nodded heavily. The female boss is related to the bonus of this case, and he will never let her escape.


    Leaving the team leader''s office, Roan didn''t talk nonsense, and immediately led Ryder into the equipment warehouse.


    Black combat uniform, tactical helmet, plate armor vest, three smoke bombs, ten shock bombs, two assault pistols Glock 18, five pistols with extended magazines.


    After finishing the equipment, Roan and Ryder looked at each other, grinned together, and strode out of the No. 5 investigation team.


    ��


    In a cosmetics company building in Manhattan, the elevator door slowly opened, and Roan, who was fully armed, pressed the communicator, and walked out together with Ryder.


    "Hello."


    Ignoring the exclamation of the two beautiful girls at the front desk, Roan walked directly into the company, pulled a white woman who looked like a secretary, and asked:


    "We''re here for Lilanie Keller."


    This is the name of the female boss of this cosmetics company.


    Seeing Roan and Ryder in full armor, the secretary swallowed and replied:


    "Sorry, she''s not here."


    Roan frowned slightly, turned around and walked around her to the door of the boss''s office, without knocking on the door, he pushed it away forcefully.


    The office is empty.


    "Hey! You can''t do this!"


    "You guys are too much!"


    "Do you have a search warrant?"


    Seeing Roan''s actions, besides the female secretary just now, several white men who made a pose appeared out of nowhere.


    But was easily stopped by Ryder.


    Seeing the colorful hair and colorful outfits of these white men, Roan felt a toothache.


    As expected of a cosmetics company.


    "Here is the search warrant you want!


    Swallowing the discomfort in his heart, Roan stretched out his hand and pulled the loudest guy, and directly patted the search warrant on his chest.


    Then Roan turned his head to look at the crowd, and said sharply:


    "Listen, if you guys know where Lilanie Keller is and don''t tell us,


    Trust me, I can definitely send you all to jail for deceiving agents and disrupting official business! "


    "..."


    After hearing Roan''s words, everyone present fell silent.


    "snort!"


    Toasted and refused to eat fine wine, turned to look at the female secretary, Luo An''s eyes were cold, and he asked in a cold voice:


    "Tell me, where did Lilanie Keller go?"


    Looking at Roan''s face close at hand and the serious expression on his face, the female secretary swallowed, and hurriedly replied:


    "The boss went to the private airport in the south of Long Island, he just left half an hour ago.


    I just saw that she answered a phone call, which seemed to be from the bank. She was taken aback, so she left quickly. "


    "bank?"


    Luo An frowned upon hearing this, not understanding why there was something about the bank.


    But now is not the time to think about these things, bypassing the female secretary, Roan quickly walked to the elevator, bowed his head and said to the communicator:


    "Have you heard everything, Mona?"


    Since joining this company, Roan''s communicator has not been turned off.


    "heard it!"


    There was a sound of typing on the keyboard from the communicator, and Mona replied:


    "I just found out that Lilanie Keller, like Triss Perez, has a share in a private jet.


    The plane is now waiting on the runway of the private airport in southern Long Island, and the passenger list reported by the captain is Lilani Keller alone. "


    "Good!"


    The elevator quickly reached the first floor, Roan took Ryder to the parking lot and said at the same time:


    "Contact air traffic control immediately and ask them to stop this plane from taking off!


    Also, find out who the bank officer who called Lilanie Keller just now is, Lacey, you go and get him back immediately! "


    "no problem!"


    There were two clear and crisp responses from the communicator, and Roan and Ryder also ran to the side of the SUV.


    Opening the door and turning the key, the dark SUV rushed out towards Long Island like lightning.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 192： Standard American cut-off

    Chapter 192 Standard American Stop


    On the road leading to Long Island, a dark SUV shuttles through the traffic at high speed.


    Looking at the SUV overtaking with various unimaginable angles and methods, Ryder swallowed silently, and carefully tightened the seat belt.


    Selectively ignoring Ryder''s small movements, Roan stepped on the accelerator directly.


    Immediately afterwards, Luo An suddenly thought of something, looked at the traffic lights on the road and the congestion on the road, and calculated the distance between the company and Long Island Airport. After pondering for a few seconds, he pressed the communicator and said loudly:


    "Mona, I need your help!"


    "What help?"


    "You and William immediately check the private airport and the cameras on Lilani''s road to the airport!"


    Roan explained loudly:


    "Lilani should not be at the airport yet, I need to know where she is now!"


    Judging from the congestion on the roads in Long Island and Queens, Lilanie-Keller is now either stuck on the road or taking a detour.


    Judging from the urgency of the other party, the other party has a high probability of choosing a detour.


    Now as long as he knows Lilani''s detour route, Roan is sure to block her quickly.


    Hearing this, Ryder in the co-pilot was shocked. He didn''t expect Roan to have such a dual-purpose ability.


    "no problem!"


    As soon as the voice fell, Mona''s answering sound and the crackling of the computer keyboard came from the communicator.


    Soon, the keyboard sound stopped, and Mona said loudly:


    "You guessed it right, Roan, Lilanie Keller hasn''t arrived at the airport yet,


    Not only that, but we didn''t find Lilani Keller on the roads outside the airport! "


    Seeing that the road ahead was crowded again, Roan turned the steering wheel and drove the SUV to another road, and continued to ask:


    "Where is Lilanie Keller now?"


    After receiving the document from William, Mona on the communicator was all smiles:


    "Lelanie Keller drives the latest Porsche, also equipped with GPS!"


    After entering the car''s model, license plate, inventory record and other information into the computer, Mona flew her fingers on the keyboard, quickly located the other party, and then replied loudly:


    "The other party''s car is now on the northernmost side of Central Park Avenue, and its heading is due west. It looks like it doesn''t plan to go to Long Island''s private airport!"


    "What?"


    Getting the exact location of the other party, Luo An frowned slightly, but still quickly drove the SUV around and rushed out.


    Why didn��t the other party go to the airport?


    This question flashed in his mind, Roan thought for a few seconds, and continued:


    "Check the call history of Lilani-Keller''s mobile phone to see if it is an employee of the cosmetics company who told Lilani the news of our visit!


    If it is, send someone to catch him immediately! "


    "Not an employee of that company!"


    Mona on the communicator said that she had checked Lilani''s call records just now. Not long ago, she called Lilani from a phone number she had never seen before.


    "I''ve seen that phone number before!"


    Just when Mona was going to check the other party''s location based on the phone number to see if she could find out the other party''s identity through surveillance, William in the office area suddenly shouted:


    "A few hours before Triss and Loelle were killed by Roslan, and after we successfully arrested Roslan, that phone number was in contact with Kanas''s men!"


    Mona was slightly taken aback, not trying to figure out who the other party was.


    "Fu-k!"


    Roan in the SUV reacted quickly, cursed in a low voice and immediately explained:


    "The opponent is that sniper!"


    "Hollysh-t!"


    Hearing this, Mona also understood, her pupils shrank, and she said in a surprised voice:


    "The sniper was instructed to kill Lilani!"


    "Exactly!"


    Roan nodded heavily, thought for a while, and asked again:


    "Is there an airport in the direction Lilanie Keller is heading to now?"


    The killer can make Lilani turn around and leave the private airport, there must be a reason that can convince Lilani, such as a new route that can leave New York.


    "Lelanie is now speeding north on the Greenstone Highway..."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Mona quickly tapped the keyboard, and soon made a new discovery on the map:


    "The end of that road is a pier, Lilani is likely to plan to escape by boat!"


    "No, it should be said that the killer planned to kill Lilani at the pier to silence her."


    Roan snorted coldly, stepped on the accelerator again, and said loudly at the same time:


    "Immediately call the SWAT operation team for support, and let them block off the entire periphery of that pier!"


    The No. 5 investigation team agent nodded loudly:


    "no problem!!"


    Black lightning was speeding along the Greenstone Highway, and it took only ten minutes for Roan and Ryder to arrive at the spot where Lilanie Keller''s Porsche was just now.


    "Five hundred meters west of No. 134 Street, turn right at the fourth intersection ahead!"


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, William and other detectives stared at the computer screen closely. Inside, there were two flashing bright spots, one black and one red. Mona was remotely controlling Roan to hunt down Lilanie Keller.


    "Good."


    Listening to Mona''s remote control, Roan turned the steering wheel and quickly drove the SUV into another road, then asked:


    "How far is the nearest SWAT team?"


    "On the road, very close, about three miles northwest of you!"


    Roan nodded, and just about to say something, Ryder in the co-pilot suddenly raised his finger forward and said loudly:


    "See that Porsche! There it is!"


    "very good!"


    Following the direction Ryder pointed, Roan also saw the white car, so he immediately drove the SUV over.


    Seeing the menacing SUV, the white Porsche obviously panicked, and the speed suddenly increased.


    Seeing that the opponent was getting closer and closer to the pier, Roan did not hesitate, directly took out the Glock 18, aimed at the opponent''s left rear wheel and pulled the trigger.


    boom! boom! boom!


    A total of three bullets were fired from the muzzle, two of which hit the Porsche tires perfectly.


    After checking the equipment, Ryder grinned when he saw this:


    "Nice job! Roan!"


    The corner of Luo An��s mouth was slightly raised. Seeing that the other party��s tire was broken, but still had no intention of stopping, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove the SUV into the left rear of the Porsche, and then turned the steering wheel vigorously.


    Boom��


    Boom!


    Porsche immediately lost its balance after being hit, coupled with the force of the SUV in the opposite direction, the Porsche was directly across the road.


    Standard American cut-off!


    The next second, Roan and Ryder immediately opened the car door, and quickly approached the Porsche with a Glock 18 in a vigilant posture.


    "Don''t move!"


    "Hands up!"


    As soon as the two spoke, the Porsche driver''s door was opened, and a white man in a suit jumped out with a gun.


    bang bang bang��


    Ryder, who was closest to the driver''s seat, did not hesitate, and immediately aimed at the opponent''s chest and pulled the trigger.


    At the same time, Roan also found Lilanie Keller who was about to escape in the direction of the co-pilot.


    Seeing from the corner of the eye that Ryder easily dealt with the bodyguard, Roan immediately walked towards Lilani quickly, grabbed the back of Lilani''s neck, lifted her up on the spot, and then easily cuffed her hands behind her back.


    "Damn the FBI!"


    Feeling the cold handcuffs on her wrists, Lilanie Keller cursed with a ferocious face:


    "Son of..."


    But before she could finish speaking, Roan frowned, and pulled her hard, pushing her to the ground.


    The next second, a bomb crater suddenly appeared where Lilani was standing just now.


    Lilanni screamed in horror when she saw this, while Roan raised her head and looked in the direction of the building not far away, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised:


    "I found you, Mr. Sniper!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 193： Five bombs!

    Chapter 193 Five shock bombs!


    boom-


    The moment he heard the iconic sound of the sniper rifle, Ryder subconsciously bent down to look for the obstacle, and then suddenly found that Roan was on that side, and hurriedly moved there while his face changed, and asked loudly:


    "Roan! How are you doing?"


    "I''m fine!"


    The angry voice came to his ears, and Ryder just breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could react, an old woman in handcuffs suddenly fell into his arms from the front of the car.


    Looking at Lilanie Keller who was screaming loudly in his arms, Ryder twitched the corner of his mouth and asked again:


    "Roan! What''s next?"


    "You are optimistic about the suspect here, let the SWAT operation team come here as quickly as possible, and completely block this area!"


    Roan, who was hiding behind another car, checked his equipment, his eyes flickering coldly:


    "I''m going to deal with that sniper!"


    "What?"


    Hearing the previous words, Ryder nodded solemnly, but he was stunned by the latter words. Just as he got up to say something, Roan''s figure had completely disappeared.


    bang bang bang��


    On the other side, Roan kept shooting at the hidden position of the sniper, suppressing the opponent, and rushed into the building at an extremely fast speed.


    Just now when Roan crashed the Porsche and opened the door to get out of the car, he took a close look around at the fastest speed.


    Because this is a pier, there are not many places suitable for snipers to hide. Roan quickly found a few locations, and calculated in advance which locations fired bullets, and where the bullets were probably located.


    The moment Lilani Keller was caught, the urgent feeling of being on fire came again, and Roan knew that his guess was right, and the sniper really planned to kill him.


    Pulling Lilanie Keller to the ground, Roan glanced at the bullet marks on the ground and quickly determined the opponent''s position.


    At the same time, in a certain room in the high-rise building, a muscular middle-aged white man with a cropped cut was standing by the wall to avoid bullets, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.


    "Shit! How did that guy find me?!"


    Twice! Already twice!


    As a killer who roams the underground world all year round, a white man with a short hair who is good at using sniper rifles does not miss many times.


    But this time not only did he miss twice, the reason for the misses was also because of the same person!


    Suppressing the anger in his heart, the killer habit that he has cultivated all year round still makes the white man with a short hair quickly pack up the sniper rifle, wipe away the traces, and prepare to leave here quickly.


    "A tall and handsome FBI agent."


    At the moment before leaving, the white man with a short hair kept flashing Roan''s face in his mind:


    "I remember you."


    Turning around and walking quickly towards the departure route he had prepared in advance, the eyes of the short-haired white man were full of coldness.


    The inch-headed white man intends to leave here first. Judging from his experience, this area will be blocked soon.


    On the other hand, after avoiding the punishment of MS-13 mission failure, the white man with a short cut is still planning to find an opportunity to completely kill the FBI.


    Even if no one pays him this time!


    On the other side, Roan quickly checked the internal structure of the building, judged others by himself, and looked at the problem with the eyes of a killer, and soon found a suitable escape route.


    Quickly walked towards one of the stairs, and as soon as he arrived there, Roan heard hurried footsteps.


    Without hesitation, Roan took out two shock bombs and threw them over.


    Seeing two foreign objects that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, the white man with short hair instantly widened his eyes.


    "Shit!"


    Although he didn''t know how the other party found this way, but the experience of struggling on the line of life and death for many years made Cun Tou make the best response. He directly blocked the weapon box in his hand in front of him.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Bright flames and deafening explosions sounded suddenly, and the white man with a short hair was thrown to the ground violently.


    ��@#��%����


    Swearing a curse word from an unknown country, the next second, the short-haired white man resisted the discomfort from all over his body and got up on the spot, immediately took out his pistol and pulled the trigger in the direction of the shock bomb.


    bang bang bang��


    Using bullets to suppress the opponent, the expression on the white man''s face showed no panic. He had encountered this situation before, but in the end he survived.


    Not only that, but he also gained a lot of experience from those experiences.


    The inch-headed white man believes that he can also get rid of the opponent this time, and then leave smoothly.


    But Roan on the other side of the wall unhurriedly took out three shock bombs again.


    Gululu��


    Seeing the new foreign object on the ground, the expression on the white man''s face finally couldn''t hold back, and he cursed loudly:


    "Son of..."


    Before he finished speaking, the familiar explosion sounded again.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The flame broke through the limit and surged out. This time, the short-haired white man who was very close to the shock bomb felt a rush of hot air, followed by severe pain.


    The next second, his body soared into the air, surrounded by countless cement debris and shock waves, and slammed into the shaking wall next to him.


    The short-haired white man lying in the cement debris felt buzzing in his ears, and the world in front of him seemed to be shaking.


    "Tsk tsk tsk."


    Walking out from behind the wall in a vigilant posture, Roan saw the white man with a short hair and **** clothes all over his body. With a blank expression on his face, he kicked away the weapon on the ground.


    The moment he saw Luo An''s face clearly, the white man with an inch head slowly took out the third gun with his right hand under his body, and at the same time his eyes were tearing open:


    "Damn the FBI!"


    The white man with an inch head didn''t know Roan''s name, but it didn''t prevent him from opening his mouth to curse.


    "It''s me, what''s wrong?"


    Luo An chuckled, put his left hand into his pocket, and seemed to be planning to take out his phone to call an ambulance.


    Seeing this, the white man with an inch head was full of disdain, and immediately pulled out the third pistol.


    This is one of the hole cards of the inch-cut white man, and he is also an old buddy who has saved his life many times. The inch-length white man believes that this time is no exception.


    Boom!


    The next second, gunfire rang out.


    Cun Tou was stunned, it seems that I haven''t shot yet?


    Immediately afterwards, a splitting headache, numb hands and feet, and a feeling of losing control of his limbs came into his mind.


    Feeling the blood slowly flowing from his forehead, the white man with an inch cut realized that he had been shot.


    Immediately afterwards, an unspeakable sleepiness flooded his heart.


    Looking at the body of the white man with a short hair, Roan put away the Glock 18 in his right hand, and smiled disdainfully:


    "Do you really think I didn''t see your little moves?"


    There is no killer in the world who does not have a hole card, let alone a guy with a short head who has been in the killer business for decades, Roan has been guarding against him.


    Put a white man with a haircut in prison, and the judge will sentence him to death or life sentence 100%.


    But Roan knew that the other party would definitely use the hidden funds to buy the lives of himself or the agents of the No. 5 investigation team in the underground world before he died.


    Killers are the most vindictive group of people in the world.


    What''s more, there are still countless lives in the hands of white people with short hair...


    Pressed the communicator, Roan patted the dust on his body, and said softly:


    "This is Roan, Lilanie Keller was successfully arrested, and the sniper has been successfully resolved."


    "ohhh��"


    "Nice job! Roan!"


    "You are so awesome!"


    Luo An''s voice fell, and the applause of all the agents came from the communicator.


    Backing to the No. 5 investigation team, the agents applauded Roan again for a while, and before Roan sat down, Mona patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the team leader''s office, and said with a strange look:


    "Roan, Augustus has something to look for you."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 194： Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Unit (IRSCI)

    Chapter 194 Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Section (IRS-CI)


    Hearing that Augustus was looking for him, and seeing the weird expression on Mona''s face, Roan''s expression froze slightly.


    He thought of the SUV he had just used the American-style stop method and accidentally crashed the front of the car.


    At this moment, Lacey returned to the No. 5 investigation team.


    Roan''s eyes lit up and asked:


    "Well, Lacey, did the bank clerk get caught?"


    "certainly!"


    Lacey took a big sip of coffee and explained with a smile:


    "That guy is very timid, and when I was a little scared, he would do anything.


    That guy is an informant bought by Lilanie Keller with money. He usually has nothing to do, but as soon as he finds out that someone is investigating the financial situation of the cosmetics company, that guy will immediately call Lilanie Keller. "


    All the agents suddenly realized, Roan also nodded, and understood the reason why Lilanie Keller ran away in fright.


    After thinking about it, Roan turned to look at the crowd and said:


    "Guys, we have to learn from this experience.


    If there are similar activities in the future, be sure to monitor the communication between the target person and the people around him at all times. "


    "Exactly!"


    "you''re right!"


    All the detectives nodded solemnly when they heard the words, and William and other technicians even patted their chests to promise that they would pay more attention to these aspects in the future.


    Roan nodded in satisfaction, then took the investigation materials in Lacey''s hand, and walked into the team leader''s office calmly.


    "Hello, sir."


    Entering the team leader''s office, apart from Augustus, there is also a middle-aged white man in a gray striped suit.


    Nodding to greet the other party, Roan handed the folder to Augustus, then said with a smile:


    "Sir, the two suspects have been arrested, and the person who tipped off the information has been dealt with. Today''s operation was a complete success."


    "..."


    After taking the document, Augustus twitched the corner of his mouth when he saw the innocent smile on Roan''s face, as if he didn''t know what happened.


    The SUV in the garage is still waiting for Augustus to pay for repairs.


    But Augustus quickly put this matter behind him. Anyway, the SUV situation is not very serious, and the activities of the fifth investigation team can afford the money.


    "This is the senior agent of our No. 5 investigation team, Roan Greenwood."


    Put the folder on the table, Augustus smiled and introduced to both parties:


    "This is the senior investigation team leader from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigation Section."


    "Hello, Agent Roan."


    The unattractive middle-aged white man smiled and extended his hand to Roan:


    "Just call me Elmer."


    "Hello, Sir Elmer."


    Knowing Elmer''s identity, Roan was in awe, and hurriedly extended his hand to shake him.


    Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Section, or IRS-CI, is a terrorist department that makes countless federal citizens turn pale.


    The reason for the horror is simple. The general investigators in the IRS are responsible for managing illegal activities such as tax evasion and tax evasion, while the Criminal Investigation Section is in charge of financial crimes.


    In the army of tax evaders in the federal territory, apart from the ordinary rich people, there are also a bunch of rich people, big companies and big consortia.


    The IRS Criminal Investigation Section is primarily targeting these people.


    According to the Federal Constitution, the federal government has the power to tax the income of federal citizens from all sources.


    This "all sources" includes not only ordinary legal income, but also a lot of illegal activities such as smuggling, money laundering, robbery, and reading.


    However, talents who are often engaged in these blue ocean industries are often not motivated to pay taxes.


    So the Criminal Investigation Section of the Internal Revenue Service often chooses to use physical means to collect taxes.


    In the process of using physical means, weapons are not mentioned. In specific actions, the agents of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Internal Revenue Service can directly break into the door and arrest people without permission; ignore Miranda warnings; ignore the secrecy law, and have the right to call all other law enforcement Information materials within the department; suspects have no right to remain silent, etc.


    The most outrageous thing is that the department can first arrest people and then search for evidence.


    Thinking of this, Roan glanced at Augustus very calmly.


    He didn''t expect that the other party could pull the head of this department over to deal with the Kanas money laundering case.


    But that''s fine, Roan was still thinking about the possibility of Karnas, as a rich man, getting himself out of this case.


    But now Roan is not worried at all, being targeted by the IRS-CI, Karnas''s happy life has entered the countdown.


    "I''ve heard of you, Roan. Since you joined the No. 5 investigation team, the detection rate of this search team has skyrocketed."


    Withdrawing his hand, Elmer looked Roan carefully up and down, with a gleam of appreciation in his eyes, and asked with a smile:


    "How about it, are you interested in working under me?"


    Hearing this, Roan hadn''t reacted yet, and Auguston stood up with his eyes wide open:


    "Hey! Elmer, I''ve got you a present today, don''t take it too far!"


    Augus and Elmer worked together for a long time in a department in New York when they were young, and they knew each other very well.


    "To be honest, Augustus, I feel that a talent like Roan is a bit wasted on you."


    The smile on Elmer��s face remains the same. There is no leader who doesn��t like talents, especially a leader like him who fights wits and courage with the rich people every day.


    Elmer checked Roan''s profile briefly before coming here, and then he fell in love with this intelligent senior FBI agent.


    For Elmer, wisdom is far more important than skill, not to mention that Roan has solved so many cases in a short time.


    So Elmer selectively ignored Augustus'' dissatisfaction, smiled and said to Roan:


    "If you come to me, I can guarantee that your level will not change, you will still be a senior agent!"


    This is quite a sincerity.


    "Thank you for your appreciation, sir."


    Glancing at Augustus standing beside him, Roan smiled and said:


    ��But I prefer to solve cases. The team leader and team supervisor take good care of me, and the work and life of the FBI are more suitable for me.��


    Roan would not jump to the Criminal Investigation Section of the Internal Revenue Service as soon as his head became hot.


    The work there is really high-turnover and high-efficiency. It is their real goal to open and close the case as quickly as possible, and thus get tax revenue.


    Moreover, among the many law enforcement agencies in the federal territory, the work pressure of IRS employees is the highest, and the absorption rate and crime rate are also the highest.


    Luo An''s goal in this life is to solve crimes and make money to enjoy life, not to stage a 996 workplace battle.


    "Hahaha��"


    Augus laughed with satisfaction, walked out from behind the desk, and patted Elmer on the shoulder triumphantly.


    "All right."


    Elmer, who was rejected, was also not angry, with the same smile on his face, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Roan:


    "Take it, and if you change your mind later, you can make this call."


    After finishing speaking, Elmer patted Roan on the shoulder, and then left the team leader''s office with a folder. Before leaving, he didn''t forget to look back and add:


    "By the way, Augustus, all the information related to the money laundering case of Kanas, remember to send me a copy later!"


    "no problem!"


    Augus agreed with a wave of his hand, turned and sat back in his chair, casually threw the SUV maintenance files aside, then handed the other two folders to Roan, and said with a smile:


    "open to take a look."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 195： The Essence of the FBI and CIA

    Chapter 195 The Essence of FBI and CIA


    Because the [Chief Financial Officer Kidnapping Case] ??has not been completely resolved, the follow-up still needs the IRS to participate, so although the No. 5 investigation team solved the case and caught the murderer, the bonus and other money have not been issued for the time being. .


    However, the [Park River male corpse case] that the Financial Crimes Investigation Section intervened in was finally finished today.


    Among the two documents, one is the bonus received by investigation team No. 5 after the [Park River Male Corpse Case] ??was dealt with, and the proof that Luo An''s bonus doubled.


    The other is the post-event thanks of the Financial Crimes Investigation Section:


    Investigation Team No. 5 had a large amount of extra money in its activity funds, and there was also a pending receipt of 390,000 U.S. dollars in Luo An''s account.


    Roan and Augustus in the office looked at each other, and both grinned loudly.


    "Oh, right."


    The two laughed for a while, Augustus suddenly thought of something, slapped his head and said:


    "The identity of the short-haired white killer who was captured and killed by you today has been clarified.


    His name is Orson Monroe, he is 46 years old, and he is an old assassin in the underground world.


    In addition to the FBI, the CIA and NSA also offered rewards for the cases he has done. The total is about 470,000 US dollars. Remember to claim it later. "


    Roan''s eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily:


    "Okay, thank you sir!"


    "You don''t need to thank me, you are the one who solves the problem, and you deserve it."


    Augus waved his hand, then turned on the computer beside him, with an annoyed expression on his face, and said:


    "Actually, Orson-Monroe is carrying a bounty from the underground world, but you can''t get the money."


    "Underground world?"


    Roan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and hurriedly looked at Augustus''s computer, and found an encrypted website with black and red on the screen, and the content in it was the reward for Orson-Monroe.


    The conditions for receiving this reward are a bit harsh, that is, the killer must hand over the head of Orson Monroe to the other party.


    I don''t know what kind of deep hatred the other party has with Orson-Monroe.


    But because Orson-Monroe is dead now, this bounty has become gray.


    Roan glanced at the harsh requirements for receiving the reward, then looked away, and asked with a serious face:


    "Sir, what''s going on with this website?"


    Seeing this website, a man in a suit who killed five movies because of a dog suddenly appeared in Roan''s mind.


    In turn, it reminded me of the Continental Hotel.


    But Luo An has been in New York for so long, and he has never seen or heard of the name of the Continental Hotel.


    He has been to the building in the movie, it is just an ordinary hotel, and there are often movie crews filming there.


    Hearing Roan''s question and the "Continental Hotel" in his mouth, Augustus shook his head, saying that he had never heard of this organization in the Federation, and no well-known underground organization in the world had this name.


    Then Augustus pointed to the website on the computer and explained:


    ��This website was set up by a gangster over there in South America.��


    According to Augustus, when this killer website was just established, the FBI and CIA discovered it, and sent a lot of agents to register accounts to monitor each other.


    Even when the gangster was almost attacked by the enemy, the CIA group helped maintain the website to prevent the website from closing down.


    So now there are more FBI and CIA people on this website than real killers.


    "..."


    Not only that, Augustus took a sip of coffee, and continued to display several other various websites in the underground world.


    There are a large number of FBI agents and CIA agents stationed on these websites. These people also rely on these websites to disguise their identities and solve many cases.


    "..."


    Holding the folder, Luo An left the team leader''s office speechlessly.


    Sure enough, phishing law enforcement is the essence of FBI and CIA law enforcement.


    "How''s it going, Roan?"


    Seeing Roan walk out of the team leader''s office, Mona covered her mouth and smiled and asked:


    "Did Augustus criticize you for wrecking your SUV?"


    "How can it be!"


    Roan smiled slightly. There was so much more money in the activity funds of the No. 5 investigation team, Augustus laughed so happily that his back molars came out.


    But Augustus still reminded Roan to be more careful next time.


    Roan also smiled and nodded in agreement, saying that he would not do it next time.


    Throwing this week''s bonus payment certificate to Mona, before Roan sat in his chair, happy screams rang through the office area of ??the investigation team No. 5.


    Immediately afterwards, the agents of the No. 5 investigation team applauded and cheered for Luo An.


    The detectives quarreled and played for a while, then returned to their posts and started to deal with the follow-up of the case, while Luo An sat on the chair without doing anything and started circling.


    Here��s another reason Roann refuses to go to the IRS:


    He can fish fish openly in the No. 5 investigation team!


    Looking at the computer in front of him, Luo An''s eyes were blank, his mind was empty, and he silently calculated his accumulation and gains during this period.


    After spending 1.2 million to buy Apple stock, Roan has $220,000 left.


    The three doubling prizes for the male corpse case, the deep pit case and the female judge case add up to a total of $9,000, the $200,000 reward from the Long Island government, $60,000 for the bearded trio, and Salbato-Crystal''s $39 and Orson-Monroe''s $470,000.


    Combined with the weekly salary, Roan found that his income during this period was about 1.35 million US dollars.


    Writing and drawing on the paper casually, Roan leaned on his chin and frowned in thought:


    "Would you like to buy Apple stock next? Do you want to switch? But which one is better?"


    Continuous entanglement.jpg


    ��


    The clock at the front of the office area soon reached the closing time.


    As usual, Ryder and other agents went back to their homes, Mona stayed in the investigation team, and Lacey drove straight to the hotel.


    Roan bought some fruits and flowers again, and went to the hospital to visit Verinisi to get in touch.


    Verinis''s wounds are recovering well. When Roan brought her things to the hospital, she was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the scenery in the distance through the window of the ward.


    Seeing Roan, Vernis showed a faint smile on her face. After a few words of greeting, she changed the topic to the case again.


    "...that''s the story of the case, sir."


    After describing the general situation of the money laundering case, Roan handed her a peeled fruit and said with a smile:


    "The follow-up arrest of Kanas, the team leader Augustus handed over to those people in the IRS."


    "Um."


    After taking the fruit, Vernis nodded softly, with a satisfied look on her face.


    The two continued to chat for a while, and when the nurse arrived and indicated that it was time for the injection, Roan got up and left the ward.


    After brushing up his favorability, Roan drove back to his small apartment in Greenwich.


    The next day, in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, all the agents were busy with their own work. Luo An was still sitting on a chair fishing, while checking the system page in his mind.


    Last Wednesday to Sunday, because Roan didn''t do much, the system basically gave him a [Pass] evaluation, and all the treasure boxes that were opened were [Physical Potion] and [Strength Potion]


    Roan��s performance on Monday was evaluated as [good] by the system, and another bottle of [swift potion] that was used up before was opened in the treasure chest


    The case was solved yesterday, and the system gave Roan an evaluation of [excellent]. In addition to the four bottles of potion [Physical Potion] and [Strength Potion], there are two bottles of [Hemostatic Potion].


    Roan finished his breakfast and drank a bottle of [Physical Potion] in the lounge to moisten his throat.


    Just returned to his seat, Augustus suddenly pushed open the door of the office area and walked in, shouting loudly:


    "Roan, come to my office!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 196： sudden fire

    Chapter 196 Sudden fire


    Hearing Augustus'' shout, Roan, whose buttocks were still warm, slowly left the chair and straightened up.


    Because Augustus didn''t shout in front of the office area with a folder this time, Roan didn''t panic at all, indicating that this wasn''t a new case.


    Sure enough, when he entered the team leader''s office, Augustus handed him several thick folders.


    It is not a notice or an order, but just the completed files and reports of the previous cases.


    Augus felt that Luo An was idle because he was idle, so why not ask him to read the report and check if there are any mistakes in it.


    If anything, point it out and someone will fix it afterward.


    ��


    The time to go to work and fish is certainly happy, but it is always too little and goes by too fast.


    Roan felt like he just turned around on the chair a few times, and the date on the calendar next to him changed from Wednesday to the last working day of the week.


    Friday afternoon.


    Watching the sun run from east to west again, and it was almost time to get off work today, Roan sat on a chair and silently checked the system page in front of him.


    In the light blue system warehouse column, there are [Physical Potion x 2] [Strength Potion x 2] [Detox Potion x 2] [Hemostatic Potion x 4] [Feather Fall Potion x 1] [Weakness Potion x 1] [ Scuba Potion x 1] [Fire Resistance Potion x 1] [Analgesic Potion x 1]


    Not only that, on Thursday night, because Roan didn''t do anything during the day, the system gave him a [Pass] evaluation, and then the treasure box opened a $50 and a $100.


    Looking at Franklin in his hand, Roan showed a smile on his face.


    It seems that his previous guess was correct, the system treasure chest will give out a few dollars every half a month.


    Just as Roan was sitting on a chair and immersed in his own world, Lacey, who had finished the work at hand, suddenly came over.


    After taking the coffee from Lacey, Roan was full of doubts:


    "What''s wrong?"


    "I need your help with something."


    Touching Roan with a coffee cup, Lacey''s eyes glowed and she whispered:


    "How about coming with me to a bar in Manhattan after get off work?"


    Lacey recently met two beautiful girls who were in college in NYC at that bar, but haven''t taken it yet.


    Luo An suddenly became interested:


    "So, you want me to be your wingman?"


    "No."


    Lacey shook her head, she had figured out the interests of the two girls, one of them didn''t mind playing games with the same sex, and the other was very resistant to it.


    "The girl named Vivienne, who only likes handsome guys, I''ll leave it to you. I believe your face can definitely conquer her."


    Lacey came to Roan''s side, rubbed her hands together, and said in a low voice:


    "Leave the other one to me, one for each of us, OK?"


    "Forehead��"


    Luan frowned. Lacey is a seasoned veteran, and there are not many girls who can make her miss her so much.


    So is the other party''s figure too attractive, or his face too pretty?


    "Okay, please talk!"


    Roan didn''t answer. Lacey sat on the chair and scratched her head, which made her anxious.


    I want to see the photo first.


    Thinking of Lacey''s deed of not talking about martial arts earlier, Roan was going to ask her to show the photo of the other party first, and then decide whether to agree or not.


    Before he could speak, Augustus suddenly pushed open the door of the office area.


    Seeing the folder in Augustus''s hand and the gloomy look on Dahei''s face, Roan and Lacey''s hearts skipped a beat.


    "Everyone! A new case!"


    Hearing what Augustus said, and looking at the clock at the front of the office area, it was only ten minutes before getting off work. Roan suddenly raised his hand and covered his forehead speechlessly.


    The eager expression on Lacey''s face also instantly collapsed.


    "Just 20 minutes ago, a fire broke out in the Brooklyn government building!"


    Without a chance to see the various expressions on everyone��s faces, Augustus said loudly with a serious face:


    ��Although the fire was extinguished by FDNY (Fire Brigade of New York), it still killed a congressman and several students from Alfred University in New York!��


    Knowing that so many people died in the fire, the agents of the No. 5 investigation team immediately became serious.


    Passing the folder to William, Augustus continued:


    "Because the deceased had a congressman, the NYPD called us urgently, and they needed the help of the FBI."


    Roan got up and stood up:


    "Lacey and I will go to the scene to check the situation now."


    "Good."


    Augus nodded:


    "Pay attention to safety, don''t lose contact... Oh, by the way, today is a temporary overtime."


    Hearing the words behind Augustus, Roan smiled slightly, which means that there will be overtime pay afterwards.


    Pulling Lacey, who hadn''t reacted yet, into the equipment warehouse, the two left the No. 5 investigation team immediately after a while.


    The SUV whose front was damaged hadn��t been repaired yet, and Luo An drove another SUV of the No. 5 investigation team this time.


    On the co-pilot, Lacey saw the SUV under her body speeding through the traffic on the road, silently fastened her seat belt while swallowing, and said:


    "Roan, can you slow down a bit? This is the only car left in our No. 5 investigation team!"


    If the car is damaged again, they will probably have to borrow a car from other investigation teams to investigate the case next.


    "Trust my skills, Lacey."


    Roan smiled slightly, and stepped on the accelerator silently.


    Lacey snorted softly, then suddenly thought of something, took out her phone from her pocket and started typing.


    Turning the steering wheel to overtake a car, Roan turned his head and took a look, then said with a faint smile:


    "Sending messages to those two girls? Make an appointment to meet again at another time?"


    "No."


    Lacey''s eyes flickered with worry, she shook her head and said:


    "Remember when I said those two girls were college students?


    The university they went to was Alfred University. "


    "What?"


    Roan was a little surprised, and then hurriedly asked:


    "Are they in government buildings?"


    "No."


    Seeing the newly received text message in the phone, Lacey let out a long breath, turned her head and smiled and said:


    "The two of them were busy working part-time in bars to make money, so they were lucky not to encounter this fire."


    ��God always favors those who work hard.��


    Roan casually said a word of chicken soup that he didn''t know where he heard it, and then stepped on the accelerator again to overtake a car.


    Soon, the two arrived at the government building in Brooklyn.


    At this time, the square in front of the government building was crowded with people, not only the families of the victims, passers-by who joined in the fun, a large number of reporters reporting the news live, but also the NYPD who maintained order on the scene.


    Getting off the SUV, glanced at the burnt black government building not far away, Roan and Lacey walked quickly into the cordon:


    "Hello, Mr. Detective, I am Agent Roan from the FBI."


    "Just call me Bailey."


    Seeing the golden badge in Roan''s hand, a NYPD detective came up immediately. After shaking hands, Detective Bailey introduced directly:


    "A congressman and four college students died at the scene, and more than 40 people were injured due to smoke inhalation. The wounded have been sent to the hospital for treatment."


    Following Detective Bailey into the government building, Roan looked around and asked:


    "Are there any witnesses to the fire?"


    "I don''t know, we are still looking."


    The three walked quickly into the building. Bailey led Roan and Lacey to the door of a scorched room, and pointed inside, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 197： 【Case of MPs and students being set on fire】

    Chapter 197 [The case of members and students being set on fire]


    The room next to the two is a small conference room, but Lacey is not in the mood to check the structure of the conference room at this time, because the people from the trace inspection department have not yet arrived, and the bodies of the five victims are still in the room.


    So when Lacey turned her head, she smelled an indescribable smell of burnt barbecue.


    "Fu-k!"


    Hastily covered her nose, Lacey''s face was very ugly.


    "Go and get the monitoring of this building first."


    Roan didn''t respond at all, and arranged Lacey''s work casually, then took out gloves from his pocket and put them on, and walked slowly into the room that was still a little bit warm.


    The smell of barbecue in the room was even stronger. Seeing that the expression on Roan''s face hadn''t changed at all, Detective Bailey and the NYPD outside were full of admiration.


    First carefully check the door of the room, then Roan walked to the five corpses in the room and began to check their status seriously.


    There were some fragments at the feet of two of the corpses, and they took a flashlight to illuminate them, and Roan frowned suddenly.


    Not long after, the detectives from the Trace Inspection Section, who were driving relatively slowly, finally arrived, and Lacey also finished adjusting the monitoring and came back:


    "The monitoring in the corridor of the building has not been installed yet, I only found the monitoring outside the building."


    Holding a laptop in her arms, Lacey showed the screen to Roan and said:


    "Five minutes before the alarm went off, this guy was the only one leaving the back door of the building."


    In the surveillance video, there is a guy in a gray suit and a black and blue hat, running away from the building in a hurry.


    "Male, very thin."


    After watching the pictures in the video, Roan quickly concluded:


    "The left hand has been clutching the right hand tightly, indicating that his right hand is probably injured, and it may also be that there is the target item he finally got."


    "Exactly."


    Lacey nodded, then asked:


    "How about it, Roan, what did you find here?"


    Roan heard the words, and directly handed her the fragments he found under the corpse just now.


    "This is��"


    After taking the fragments, Lacey looked carefully, and said with some uncertainty:


    "Pieces of a bottle?"


    "To be precise, it is a fragment of a simple homemade Molotov cocktail."


    Loudly signaled to the investigators of the trace inspection department to take all the fragments on the ground back for inspection. Roan looked around and leaned on his chin and said:


    "Judging from the situation at the scene, before the incident, the congressman should be chatting with four college students.


    Immediately afterwards, the door was suddenly opened, and the Molotov cocktail was thrown into the room by the murderer.


    This room is not big, and it is relatively closed. In addition, the fire started to burn from the door and the middle of the room first, so the councilor and several students quickly lay in the flames. "


    Not only that, the door of the room was locked, and there were traces of Molotov cocktail fragments in the corridor.


    Even if one of them opened the door and ran out of the conference room, he would be burned to death by the flames of the Molotov cocktail in the corridor.


    After listening to Roan''s description, Detective Bailey''s eyes flashed with surprise, and Lacey''s face changed slightly.


    How much hatred did the murderer have with these five victims?


    "Go to the staff of the government building."


    Patting Lacey on the shoulder, Roan took off his gloves and walked out of the room, saying:


    "Wait a minute, make a list of the people who can enter this meeting room."


    "OK."


    Lacey nodded, and hurriedly followed with her computer in her arms.


    ��


    The next day, No. 5 investigation team.


    "Sorry, detectives, the impact of this case is too great, the mayor called to inquire about the situation, so we have to work overtime on Saturday!


    But don��t worry, overtime pay will never be forgotten to be transferred to your bank account afterward. "


    At the forefront of the office area, Augustus shouted loudly with his stomach puffed out.


    After William distributed the folder to everyone, he turned his gaze to Mona and said:


    "Introduce the information of these five victims."


    "OK."


    Mona nodded, tapped the keyboard a few times, looked at the computer screen and introduced loudly:


    "Four college students, two men and two women, named Vinny, Nickel, Kiana, and Vinina, are all from the Business School of Alfred University in New York, and there are still 6 months before their graduation.


    Another member of the victim''s name is Emmanuel Bain, 56 years old, a Republican, and this is his first year in the New York City Council. "


    "Wow."


    As we all know, New York has always been the stronghold of the Democratic Party. There are as many as 2.8 million Democrats and only 500,000 Republicans.


    In the New York City Council, the Democrats also occupy 51 seats, and the Republicans only have 3 seats.


    Thinking of this, Roan said:


    "So, we can tentatively determine that the murderer''s target is Senator Emanuel Bain."


    Roan determined the main direction of the next investigation, Augustus did not object, and continued to ask:


    "Mona, can you find out who Emanuel''s enemies are?"


    "It''s so easy."


    Mona smiled slightly, tapped on the keyboard with her ten fingers, and quickly adjusted Emmanuel''s political leanings and propaganda content:


    ��Our Senator Emanuel calls himself the guardian of traditional federal values.


    So he��s anti-feminism, anti-abortion, anti-gun ban, pro-white supremacy and white nationalism, pro-denominational schools, advocating market freedom����


    After listening to Mona''s introduction, all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team rolled their eyes except Roan. Augustus patted his stomach and nodded:


    "Very well, it seems that more than half of the people in New York are his enemies."


    After a few seconds of silence, Augustus turned his gaze to Roan who was aside.


    Roan did not hesitate to see this, and immediately asked loudly:


    "The fragments that were handed over to the trace inspection department last night, have the test results come out?"


    Ryder nodded hastily, and replied:


    "The result has come out, your judgment is correct, those things are indeed homemade simple combustion bottles, and the liquid used is all gasoline.


    Unfortunately, the Trace Inspection Division did not find fingerprints and DNA on those fragments, so it was impossible to find the identity of the murderer in the internal database. "


    Roan continued to ask with the same expression on his face:


    "Lacey, what about the list you mentioned last night, and Emmanuel''s recent itinerary?"


    "No problem found."


    Lacey gave Roan the list of people who could enter that conference room, and said:


    "Yesterday, Emanuel gave a speech in the square in Brooklyn, then went to several communities to express condolences to the masses, and finally returned to the government building to accept interviews with the four college students."


    Roan nodded, looked at the personnel list carefully for a while, then raised his head and said to the agents:


    "Everyone, we need to carefully investigate the surveillance in the area near the Brooklyn government building, and we must know where the man in the gray suit went after leaving the building!


    In addition, the interpersonal relationship, emotional status, and economic status of the four college students also need to be carefully investigated! "


    "no problem!!"


    The work content was a bit complicated and complicated, but William and several technical agents still nodded loudly and agreed.


    Roan nodded in satisfaction, turned to look at Lacey and Ryder, and said:


    "Next, you will visit the family members of Congressman Emanuel, as well as the relatives and friends of the four college students, and see if you can find any useful clues from them."


    "OK."


    Ryder and Lacey agreed to come down, dropped the folder, turned and walked into the equipment warehouse.


    Mona on the side saw this, raised her head and asked:


    "Then what do we do next?"


    "Let''s go find him!"


    Passing the list in his hand to Mona, Roan pointed to a name on it.


    "Who is this?"


    "Except for the four college students, he was the last person Congressman Emanuel saw before his death."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 198： Scolding MPs just for money

    Chapter 198 Scolding MPs just for money


    "I was indeed the last person to see Senator Emanuel."


    In a certain room of the government building in Brooklyn, a middle-aged white man in a suit and leather shoes nodded and replied after learning about Roan and Mona''s intentions:


    "Yesterday Congressman Emmanuel''s speech in the square was also organized by me and several colleagues."


    "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Dominique."


    Putting the FBI golden badge back into his pocket, Roan sat opposite Dominic and asked:


    "As far as I know, you are the security consultant of the Emanuel Congressman''s team. Do you have any doubts about yesterday''s tragedy?"


    There is a team behind each congressman in the Federation. They are not only responsible for the life and finances of the congressmen, but also responsible for protecting the personal safety and external image of the congressmen.


    Emmanuel was burned to death with a Molotov cocktail this time, and Dominic, who is a member of parliament''s security adviser, must have a hard time in the future.


    So when he heard Roan''s question, he immediately rummaged through his desk, and then handed a lot of information to Mona next to him, with a serious face:


    "These are the death threats we received against Congressman Emanuel before the speech yesterday, a total of fifty-four."


    "..."


    Looking at the pile of death threats in her arms, the corners of Mona''s mouth twitched, and Roan''s eyelids twitched, and asked:


    "With so many death threats, why did you agree to Emanuel''s trip yesterday?"


    "Because this is a strong request from Congressman Emanuel."


    Dominique was full of remorse, saying that he was just a consultant. If the employer, Mr. Emmanuel, had to do something, it would be difficult for them to stop each other.


    "OK."


    He took out a piece of paper and looked at it, and found that it was filled with the identity information of certain people. After thinking about it, Roan continued:


    "By the way, all political organizations that Emmanuel has been in contact with recently, whether they are friendly or hostile, make a list of them, and then give me a copy of their specific information."


    "no problem!"


    More than an hour later, Roan and Mona put two large cardboard boxes full of documents into the trunk of the SUV.


    "Hoo��"


    Mona straightened up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, sat in the co-pilot and turned her head to ask:


    "Roan, do you collect information about these political organizations, do you think the murderer came from those people?"


    "possible."


    Starting the SUV and driving out of the parking lot, Roan pointed to a crowd of loud protesters holding signs in the square not far away, black, white, brown, or not yellow, and replied:


    "Look at those people, every one of them has anger in their eyes.


    Any politician��s views and words will be labeled, and then be amplified by the hostiles before attacking them, not to mention the extreme conservatives like Emanuel.


    For these instigated people whose minds are full of radical ideas, killing people is nothing at all, just a group of idealists. "


    Through the car window, looking at the protesters in the square holding a lot of signs such as "anti-discrimination", "cut government spending", "death to the president", Mona opened her mouth and didn''t know what to say.


    Casting a glance at the silent Mona who understood but didn''t fully understand, Roan''s expression remained unchanged, but he shook his head deep in his heart, then stepped on the accelerator silently and left here.


    The Federation is a very magical country. A certain book divides society horizontally, regardless of men and women, and only divides them into haves and have-nots.


    They divide society vertically, first divide into male, female, male-to-female, female-to-male, and then divide them into black, white, Muslim, minority, vegetarian, etc., so that they can each other In the end, the rich and those in power sat firmly on the high platform, drinking red wine and smoking cigars and watching the show.


    This is the root cause of the emergence of political correctness more than ten years later, and the emergence of various buff superimposed chaos.


    ��


    Soon, Roan and Mona arrived at the base of a certain political organization that he suspected most, circled before Dominica.


    It is said to be a base, but it is actually a small two-story building. The sign on the house number shows that this is a small newspaper office.


    The day before Congressman Emanuel was burned to death, this newspaper once published an article that read "Congressman Emanuel should be burned on the spot".


    Parked the car and opened the gate to enter the newspaper office. After showing the golden badge to identify themselves, Roan and Mona successfully met the owner of the newspaper office and the leader of the political organization.


    A middle-aged black man with a natural curly cut, Cody.


    Roan didn''t talk nonsense, and directly explained his purpose of coming.


    "Just call me Cody."


    Poured two cups of coffee for Roan and Mona, and Cody replied with a smile:


    "You are right, my newspaper did publish such an article."


    "No, not just your newspaper."


    Hearing this, Mona shook her head, put the newspaper on the table, and fixed her eyes on the other person''s face:


    "The signature at the end of this article, the author is you."


    ����well, I did write this article.��


    Seeing the cold look in Roan''s eyes, Cody nodded in silence for a moment to admit it, and then spread his hands:


    "But the content in it is just a metaphor. That guy Emanuel Bain is a piece of garbage and opposes racial equality, so as a black man, isn''t it normal for me to hate him?"


    Speaking of this, Cody saw that the expressions on the faces of Roan and Mona hadn''t changed, they were still full of seriousness, and suddenly cursed a few words in his heart, and then he explained in a low voice:


    "Both, Emmanuel Bain''s death really has nothing to do with me, and I don''t even know what''s going on.


    To be honest, insulting Emanuel Bain is just to mobilize those masses and make enemies.


    In this case, I can not only attract their donations, but also increase the sales of newspapers. "


    "..."


    Mona frowned upon hearing this, but Roan nodded.


    Political inclination is all it takes, not making money is important.


    Looking back at the busy workers behind him, Roan continued to ask:


    "Then among the members of your organization, are there any guys who are more inclined to solve problems with violence?"


    "There were, but they all left because I didn''t allow them to."


    Cody laughed, saying that he is not those idealists, he is very realistic, shouting slogans and scolding congressmen is purely for making money.


    "Good."


    Seeing the smile on Cody''s face, Roan also laughed:


    "So can you give me a copy of these, the names and information of the people who want to stir up conflict?"


    "No."


    Cody shook his head again and again, indicating that this is someone else''s privacy.


    "Okay, let me change the way of asking."


    Roan''s smile became wider, and his tone became more amiable:


    "Give me their information immediately, or I will apply for a search warrant later, and then seize all the facilities of your newspaper office, and then carefully investigate the economic situation of your newspaper office."


    "..."


    Hearing this, the expression on Cody''s face suddenly froze.


    A few minutes later, Roan walked out of the newspaper office with a few folders, and Mona followed him silently with her computer in her arms.


    "What''s wrong, Mona?"


    Roan opened the door and let Mona go out, then asked with a smile:


    "Why have you been silent?"


    Mona sighed and replied:


    "I��"


    Just as Mona started speaking, the feeling of burning her **** came again. Roan''s pupils constricted, and he hurriedly grabbed Mona''s arm and pulled her into his arms, and quickly hid beside a car.


    The next second, a gray car was speeding past on the road, and several large bottles were thrown directly from the car in this direction.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 199： Molotov cocktail! ! !

    Chapter 199 Molotov cocktail! !


    "It''s a Molotov cocktail!"


    Seeing the specific appearance of those bottles in the parabola in the air, Roan''s face was very ugly, and he hurriedly carried Mona to the opposite direction of the car.


    Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!


    Boom!


    The next second, several large bottles landed heavily, and orange flames rose instantly.


    In the blink of an eye, the passer-by cars that Roan and Mona avoided just now, as well as the newspaper office next to them, were quickly engulfed by the fire, and there were exclamations and screams in the newspaper office.


    "Fu-k!"


    Quickly got up from the ground, Roan looked at the back of the car, greeted the family in that car, and then hurriedly turned his eyes to Mona underneath:


    "Are you OK?"


    "I''m fine!"


    Mona shook her head, feeling the heat from the direction of her thighs, and looked back at where she was standing just now. If Roan hadn''t pulled her into her arms just now, Mona felt that she might have been burned by now.


    All this happened so fast that she didn''t even have time to react. Mona turned her head and looked at Roan with gratitude.


    "It''s fine!"


    Roan grinned, hurriedly took Mona''s hand to lift her up from the ground, and then quickly ran to the SUV not far away.


    On another street not far away, there happened to be a NYPD patrol officer. Seeing the flames soaring here, he hurriedly drove here in a police car.


    Knowing the situation from Mona, the patrolman immediately called the nearby colleagues for support, and Roan also drove the SUV parked not far away here at this time:


    "Mona! Get in the car!"


    "OK!"


    As Mona closed the passenger door, the SUV rushed out like an arrow.


    After briefly describing the appearance of the gray car, Roan then asked:


    "Where is the other party now?"


    Mona on the co-pilot picked up the laptop from the front, tapped the keyboard quickly, and quickly found the other party:


    "Turn right at the intersection ahead! Go straight for 600 meters, then turn right at that intersection!"


    "OK!"


    Turning the steering wheel, the SUV quickly drove into another road. Before the intersection in the mouth, Roan suddenly noticed something and raised his eyebrows:


    "Which road they''re taking is a one-way street?"


    "Exactly!"


    Mona nodded, then turned around in doubt:


    "What are you going to do?"


    Roan grinned and stepped on the accelerator:


    "Stop chasing! Go directly in front of them and intercept them!"


    After speaking, the SUV quickly drove into another road.


    After overtaking the cars on the road at several unimaginable angles, leaving a shocking eyeball, Roan successfully led Mona to the end of the one-way street before the gray car.


    Parking the SUV not far away, Roan and Mona immediately took out their pistols and rushed towards the one-way street. Seeing the gray car coming in this direction, the two raised their pistols at the same time and aimed at each other, shouting loudly:


    "Stop!"


    "Stop Now!"


    There are three people in the gray car. The white young man on the co-pilot was shocked when he saw Roan and Mona:


    "Fu-k! How did they get ahead of us?"


    "who cares!"


    The young Caucasian driver gritted his teeth, not only did not intend to stop, but instead stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, causing the gray car to hit Roan and Mona at a faster speed.


    Seeing this, Roan and Mona pulled the trigger without hesitation.


    Mona''s main attack was the windshield of the cab in front of the gray car, and Roan''s target was the left and right tires in front of the gray car.


    boom! boom! boom!


    bang bang bang��


    After a few gunshots, the windshield of the gray car was shattered but no one was injured, but the two front tires had all been scrapped.


    Mona raised her eyebrows:


    "Nice job! Roan!"


    The guy on the co-pilot of the gray car had fear written all over his face, while the driver had a ferocious face, trying his best to control the car to move straight ahead.


    But the scrapped tire caused the inside to come into contact with the ground to emit sparks, and the car still drove towards the oblique side out of his control.


    Another middle-aged white man in the back seat of the car saw this, immediately opened the door and jumped out of the car, rolled a few times on the ground, got up and ran.


    This guy''s movement and figure were clearly seen by Roan, but now that the gray car had hit them both, Roan and Mona immediately got up and jumped to the side of the gray car''s path.


    The next second, the gray car slammed into the wall of a shop on the side of the road, directly making a big hole in the wall.


    Mona held a weapon, walked quickly to the side of the co-pilot in a vigilant posture, and directly knocked out the white youth on the co-pilot, but did not see the driver, and immediately shouted:


    "Roan! Watch out! I didn''t��"


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    Before Mona finished speaking, four gunshots rang out from the car, followed by Roan''s familiar voice:


    "The driver has been solved, you watch these two people, I will catch the one who escaped!"


    When Mona moved to the other side of the car, she found a white young man lying on the ground lying on the ground with bullets in both legs and arms, wailing loudly, and Roan''s figure had completely disappeared.


    "Damn it, it''s like this again!"


    Kicked the whining white youth unconscious and put them in handcuffs. Mona''s face was filled with worry, and she immediately took out her mobile phone and said:


    "William, this is Mona, send someone to help immediately!


    In addition, find out the identities of the three people who attacked Roan and me as quickly as possible! "


    On the other side, Roan had already run to the place where the middle-aged white man jumped off the car, and then chased him along the left side where he was running away.


    On the left side is a long alleyway, in addition to the messy garbage, there are many small umbrellas filled with unknown white liquid.


    When Luo An entered the alley, the middle-aged white man had already run two-thirds of the alley.


    Looking back to check the situation, the middle-aged white man was shocked when he saw Roan''s figure:


    "Shit! How is this guy so fast?"


    After judging the distance between the two sides, Roan was about to lift the Glock 18. At this moment, the middle-aged white man suddenly took out two glass bottles from his pocket and threw them towards the road between the two.


    Snapped! Snapped!


    The moment the glass bottle fell to the ground, an orange fire burst into flames instantly, blocking Roan''s way forward.


    "It''s Molotov cocktail again."


    Roan''s face was slightly gloomy, while the middle-aged white man grinned, then turned and ran forward.


    It''s just that the middle-aged white man''s running speed is a little slower this time. After all, there are Molotov cocktails blocking the pursuers. He doesn''t believe that Roan dares to risk being burned to death to catch himself.


    Soon, the middle-aged white man ran to the end of the alley, and when he was about to look back at the fire he had lit with a smile, a voice suddenly came from behind him:


    "Why did you stop? Keep running!"


    "What?"


    The middle-aged white man shrank his pupils and hurriedly turned around, only to see Roan rushing towards him unharmed with a background of blazing flames.


    What kind of monster is this guy? How did he get over the flames?


    The middle-aged white man had a hellish expression on his face, but before he could speak, Roan had already run not far from him.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan stepped on the ground with both feet, and rushed towards the middle-aged white man like a cannonball.


    The middle-aged white man''s brain was running fast, and just as he was about to turn around to avoid it, Roan''s knee was already in front of him.


    Boom!


    He was hit by his knee to his chest, and the severe pain came suddenly. The eyes of the middle-aged white man turned red, and then he slammed into the wall behind him hard, and a mouthful of blood spurted out directly from his mouth.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 200： another arson case

    Chapter 200 Another case of arson


    In the alley.


    Feeling the severe pain in his chest, and seeing the blood he spit out just now, the eyes of the middle-aged white man were full of anger.


    He took out a pistol from behind his buttocks, opened his mouth to curse, and prepared to attack Roan.


    "Son of..."


    Before the middle-aged white man finished speaking, Roan moved in front of him with cold eyes.


    Snapped!


    Easily grabbed the opponent''s wrist holding the pistol, and Roan twisted it hard.


    Click!


    "ah-"


    The sound of bones breaking was crisp and sweet, and the pupils of the middle-aged white man shrank suddenly, and he screamed and wailed loudly in an instant.


    Roan grinned and said coldly:


    "It was a Molotov cocktail just now, and now it''s a pistol. You have a lot of weapons."


    "Fu-kYou!"


    Because of the severe pain caused by the fracture, the forehead of the middle-aged white man was covered with beads of sweat, but he still did not forget to curse, and raised his own questions:


    "Damn FBI! How did you get through that flame?"


    Luo An frowned. Of course, it was the fire-resistant potion from the system treasure chest.


    But he didn''t need to answer the other party''s question, because at this moment, the other hand of the middle-aged white man quickly reached for another mini pistol that he had been hiding all the time, preparing to use it to continue attacking Roan.


    Roan, who saw the opponent''s movements clearly, narrowed his eyes slightly, first grasped the opponent''s wrist firmly, and using the opponent''s hand, threw the pistol to the ground behind the middle-aged white man.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan stepped back slightly, and directly kicked the middle-aged white man with a whip.


    Boom��


    The middle-aged white man only felt Roan''s figure flash, and he was hit hard in the abdomen, and his body hunched like a lobster and hit the wall just now.


    boom!


    The next second, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet hole appeared in the center of the forehead of the middle-aged white man, and his body limp and fell to the ground.


    On the plate armor vest on his chest, the three big letters of the FBI were written brightly. Under such circumstances, the middle-aged white man was still preparing to send Luo An to heaven again and again. There was no way, Luo An had to send the other party to **** first. up.


    Didididi��


    Just as Roan was carefully checking the wallet in the opponent''s pocket, Mona drove an SUV to the road outside the end of the alley, got out of the car quickly with a pistol and walked towards Roan, her eyes were full of tension and worry:


    "Are you okay, Roan!"


    "I''m fine."


    Roan waved his hand, indicating that he was unharmed, then handed the wallet he found from the corpse pocket to Mona, and said with a smile:


    "There''s this guy''s photo, credit card, and driver''s license in there. Go search for his ID."


    "no problem."


    After taking the wallet and seeing that there was no injury on Roan''s body, Mona breathed a sigh of relief. After agreeing to Roan''s request, she slapped his arm hard, with a serious face:


    "Roan, every time you chase the enemy by yourself, it''s too dangerous! You must not do this next time!"


    Roan chuckled:


    "Okay, not next time."


    "..."


    Glaring Roan a hard look, Mona took out her mobile phone and called the detective to come here to dispose of the corpse.


    and other professional agents arrived here, and Roan and Mona immediately drove the SUV back to the Jacobs Federal Building.


    ��


    In the interrogation room, the white young man in the co-pilot of the gray car sat on a chair, looked at the handcuffs on his wrists, and kept looking around, with panic written on his face.


    "The middle-aged white man is named Holland. He has been imprisoned for multiple crimes including illegal possession of multiple weapons, intentional wounding, and illegal possession of reading materials. He is now on parole.


    The guy in front of him is Kermit, and he is still a college student. "


    In the monitoring room, Mona showed the other party''s personal information to Roan and Lacey, and said:


    "The experience of growing up shows that Kermit is a good boy and has no criminal record."


    "There is now, and it starts with a felony assault on an FBI agent."


    Seeing the records in the computer data, the corner of Luo An''s mouth slightly raised.


    Because it shows that Kermit is timid.


    After Lacey prepared the notebook, Roan put away the smile on his face, took a deep breath, and directly kicked open the door of the interrogation room.


    boom!


    The sudden loud noise made Kermit tremble all over, his face full of panic. If his hands were not handcuffed, he almost jumped out of the chair.


    "Kermit Sheffield!"


    Seeing the other party''s performance, Roan pretended to be angry, and said loudly:


    "Are you crazy? Throwing Molotov cocktails at the FBI? And then trying to drive over us?!"


    "NONONO..."


    Seeing the cold light in Roan''s eyes, Kermit turned pale, waved his hands again and again, and explained in a very eager tone:


    "Our target is not your FBI, but that newspaper office!


    And I didn''t throw Molotov cocktails either! It was all thrown by Holland!


    It wasn''t me who was driving, it was Bob, he was the one who wanted to hit you and run away! "


    Kermit was startled by Roan, and immediately explained everything.


    Lacey, who was sitting on the chair, recorded what the other party said, and at the same time gave Roan a thumbs up in a place that Kermit could not see.


    Roan raised his eyebrows with his back to Kermit, and then continued to speak loudly:


    "Why? Why are you throwing Molotov cocktails at that newspaper office? Do you hate newspapers?"


    "No, I don''t hate the newspaper itself."


    Swallowing, Kermit replied:


    "I just hate the slogan of their organization, and their behavior.


    Newspapers were supposed to be a neutral object to express their own opinions, but they were changed by those self-proclaimed elites into a tool for wantonly insulting and insulting others. "


    Abusing others wantonly?


    Roan''s eyes flashed a light, and he thought of something in his mind, and asked:


    "So you hurt them with Molotov cocktails? Why?"


    "Just to scare them, I don''t want to hurt them."


    Kermit replied:


    "The reason is, of course, that group of people killed Congressman Emmanuel Bain!"


    Their political organization supports white supremacy.


    Roan nodded calmly, which was the same as his guess just now, and continued to ask:


    "Do you think that arson case is related to that newspaper office? Is there any evidence?"


    "I''m actually not sure about that either, that''s what Holland and Bob told me."


    Kermit shook his head, saying that he had just joined the political organization where the two of them belonged not long ago, and he didn''t know the specific situation inside, and then added:


    "However, when I first joined this organization, the base was set on fire with Molotov cocktails, and we had to move to a new location.


    Someone in that newspaper once claimed responsibility for it, so it is very likely that Emanuel Bain was also killed by someone in this newspaper. "


    "The base of your organization was burned?"


    Lacey, who was writing with her head down, frowned, and Roan continued to ask questions:


    "Have you called the police?"


    Kermit shook his head:


    "Because no one was injured, no police were called, only the New York Fire Department was contacted."


    "This will also make it easier for you to take revenge afterwards."


    Roan nodded, and instantly guessed the thoughts of the leader of this political organization.


    Ask Kermit the address of the fire-damaged base, Roan immediately took Lacey out of the interrogation room, and then contacted the investigators of the trace inspection department to search for clues at the base.


    That afternoon, Ryder walked into the No. 5 investigation team with the report from the trace inspection department, and laughed loudly:


    "Everyone, good news!


    According to the detection of the fragments of the two burning bottles at the scene of the fire by the trace inspection department, it was found that they were made of the same material, and the production methods and some details were also exactly the same!


    So the murderer behind these two cases is most likely the same person or the same group! "


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 201： Short in stature but big in heart

    Chapter 201 Slightly short in height, but with a big conscience


    After receiving the report from Ryder, Mona and Lacey laughed together:


    "Good!"


    "Good news indeed!"


    Roan next to him took a sip of coffee, looked up at Ryder, and asked:


    "How did you and Lacey investigate today, did you find any clues?"


    "Of course."


    Ryder walked back to his station, handed a folder to Roan, and said:


    ��We discovered that the four college students, Vinny, Nickell, Kiana, and Vinina, were not only from Alfred University��s business school in New York, but were also members of a political organization.


    The name of this political organization is "New Era", and the internal slogans of the organization are support for feminism, opposition to domestic violence, and so on. "


    Mona next to ??''s eyes lit up:


    "Wow, it looks like they are all opponents of the ultra-conservative Senator Emanuel."


    "uncertain."


    Lacey shook her head, and according to her inquiries to the friends of the two boys, Vinny and Nicole, she learned that these two actually joined this organization only to chase after Kiana and Venina.


    How much support the two people have for the slogan of this organization, no one can say for sure.


    Mona''s face changed when she heard this, but Roan nodded.


    It is a very normal phenomenon. In the political organizations of the Federation, there are actually not many people who shout slogans and support this slogan in their hearts.


    Most of them are political organizations like Vinny and Nickel who joined for other purposes.


    More people still want to use these political organizations to make money for themselves.


    Only a small group of idealists don��t know why, and really think that shouting slogans and holding demonstrations can achieve their goals and change society.


    Get up and walk to the front of the office area, pull over a whiteboard to write and draw. A few minutes later, Luo An turned his head and introduced to the agents:


    "Kermit''s political organization was ignited by a Molotov cocktail half a month ago, and Congressman Emanuel was burned to death yesterday.


    From arson to arson and homicide, the same murderer behind the two cases has rapidly escalated the criminal methods in a short period of time. "


    "Exactly."


    All the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team nodded, which means that if the murderer continues to commit crimes, it is very likely that he will still set fire to kill, and the number of dead people may continue to increase.


    Throwing the whiteboard marker aside, Roan asked:


    "William, how is the surveillance in the area near the Brooklyn government building? Did you find the man in the gray suit?"


    "Sorry, we didn''t find each other."


    William shook his head, his face was ugly, indicating that the man in the gray suit must have stepped on the spot beforehand, and he completely lost his shadow after leaving the back door of the building.


    "fine."


    Roan''s expression remained unchanged, he was already mentally prepared.


    Lacey and Ryder successfully discovered today that the four college students are members of a political organization. He thought about it and turned his attention to Mona:


    "Mona, just now Kermit said that after his political organization was burned, someone claimed responsibility for it. Have you found the information of that person?"


    "found it!"


    Mona nodded, showed Roan the information in the computer, and said:


    "The other party''s name is Emma Tasia, who was one of the editors of the Cody Newspaper before, and has written several articles against the political speeches of Congressman Emanuel.


    But not long ago, she went to prison for drunk driving, and left the Federation after she was released from prison. Recently, she has been working for a newspaper in Europe. "


    "Leaving the Federation?"


    Hearing this, Ryder frowned, and Roan''s expression sank slightly.


    Lacey next to her thought for a while, then tilted her head and asked:


    "Did Emma Tasia join any other political organizations after leaving the Kodi newspaper?"


    Mona tapped on the keyboard with ten fingers, and shook her head after a while:


    "Not found on the network."


    "Then make a list of the people Emma Tasia has contacted after leaving Cody Newspaper, and follow the investigation one by one, how about it?"


    Lacey spread her hands, and said a suggestion that made the scalps of William and other technical agents go numb.


    "Also."


    Roan bowed his head and thought for a long time, then nodded.


    The current situation is obvious. The murderer of the two arson cases is the same person, and Emma Tasia also claimed responsibility for the previous case. She is very likely to be related to the murderer.


    It��s just that Emma Tasia is in Europe now, and they can��t go abroad to catch the other party, so they can only investigate from people who have been in contact with the other party.


    "no problem!"


    Seeing Roan cast his eyes on himself, William and other technical detectives immediately nodded in agreement even though their scalps were numb.


    Watching several agents start to sit in front of the computer and type, Roan thought for a while and added:


    "You can first investigate those people who left the Kodi newspaper with Emma Tasia. They are all radicals, and the possibility of committing crimes is relatively higher."


    "OK!"


    The eyes of several technical agents lit up when they heard the words, Qiqi nodded in agreement, and William also gave Roan a grateful look.


    All the agents started to get busy, while Roan sat back on the chair, picked up the coffee and took a sip slowly.


    After receiving what Mona handed over, Emma Tasia''s itinerary after leaving Cody Newspaper, Roan began to check it slowly while circling around.


    After watching for a few minutes, Roan stopped spinning in circles.


    Because he discovered that Emma Tasia was also a student at Alfred University.


    Before leaving the Cody newspaper, she was also invited by Alfred University to give a speech as a senior.


    After pondering for a moment, Roan moved the chair to Lacey''s side.


    Lacey, who was checking the information, was taken aback:


    "What''s wrong?"


    "The two beautiful girls you mentioned earlier, what are they doing now?"


    Hearing this, Lacey suddenly showed a rippling smile, then shook her head hastily, and said:


    "It is important to handle the case now, and we will discuss this matter later."


    Rolling his eyes with a speechless face, Roan handed the information in his hand to Lacey, pointed to the place he drew a circle to explain to the other party, and finally said:


    "You said earlier that both girls were students at Alfred University.


    So I want you to give them a call, we might be able to get some clues from them. "


    "OK, OK."


    Hearing Roan''s words, Lacey''s face was a little embarrassed, she put her hands together to express her apology to Roan, and then quickly took out her mobile phone and sent a message to the two girls.


    A few minutes later, Lacey''s face changed slightly, and she looked up at Roan:


    ��I think we need to meet them.��


    ��


    Half an hour later, a bar in Queens.


    Opposite Roan and Lacey, sat two young girls with their own characteristics.


    The **** the left is Vivienne, she is a little short in stature, but has a big conscience.


    The **** the right is named Naomi, with a slightly smaller conscience but longer thighs.


    Plus the pretty face is not weaker than those well-known actresses on TV... Roan glanced at Lacey calmly, wondering how she knew these girls.


    Afterwards, Lacey must share the channel.


    Shaking hands with Roan, Naomi took the photo he handed over and replied:


    ��We do know Emma Tasia, we were there when she spoke.


    She also sent us something after the talk. "


    Speaking of this, Naomi patted Vivian''s arm beside her.


    Seeing this, Vivian immediately took out a piece of paper from her pocket and put it on the table.


    Lacey was just about to reach out for it, when Vivienne pushed the paper directly in front of Roan.


    Lacey: "��"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 202： Bringing guns to everyone reduces crime

    Chapter 202 Carrying guns for all can reduce the crime rate


    Seeing Vivienne''s movements, the corner of Lacey''s mouth twitched, and she withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened.


    After taking the paper handed over by the other party, Luo An raised his mouth slightly and said:


    "Thanks."


    Vivian smiled and didn''t speak. Seeing this, Naomi put her arms around Vivian''s shoulders, looked at Roan and said:


    "If you really want to express your gratitude, how about treating Vivian and me to have a drink after get off work?"


    Hearing this, Lacey''s eyelids trembled.


    She has been chasing Naomi for several days, but Naomi has never been very interested in her, and Vivienne doesn''t pay much attention to her.


    Now when she saw Roan, not only did Vivienne express her interest in him, but Naomi even proposed a date invitation.


    And there are still two people!


    Lacey felt a bit of a toothache, then picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.


    Seeing the look on Lacey''s face, Roan''s expression remained unchanged, but deep inside he laughed out loud.


    Finally let Lacey feel what he felt when he used to go out with her to pick up girls.


    Lowered his head and looked at the paper, and found a string of letters written on it: [New York Liberty Outpost]


    Luan showed doubts:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    "This is the name of an organization Emma Tasia said when she was interviewed by several of our classmates after the speech."


    Stuffing Roan''s contact information into Vivienne''s pocket, Naomi explained:


    "At that time, Emma Tasia briefly introduced the organization and called on students studying political science to join it, saying that they could realize their political ambitions and ideals there."


    "OK."


    Sent the name of this organization to Mona, and Roan continued to ask a few questions. When Naomi couldn''t tell more information, Roan and Lacey expressed their thanks, got up and left here.


    "Remember to call us back!"


    At the entrance of the bar, Naomi pulled Vivienne and waved to the SUV that was slowly leaving with a smile on her face.


    In the slowly moving SUV, Roan was in charge of driving, and Lacey called Mona from the co-pilot and asked:


    "How about it, have you found out the specific situation of the organization [New York Freedom Outpost]?"


    "Of course I found it!"


    Mona on the other end of the phone chuckled, saying that this is a trivial matter for her, and then introduced:


    ��This so-called [New York Freedom Outpost] is a political organization in New York that supports the Republican Party.


    Their political slogans are more radical, not only against homosexuality, against abortion, against the abolition of the death penalty, and against the ban on guns.


    And this organization also proposes that all citizens should have guns, and every federal citizen should be allowed to carry guns 24 hours a day, which can reduce the crime rate in New York. "


    ��������2


    After listening to Mona''s introduction, Roan and Lacey were speechless, and Qiqi rolled his eyes.


    Lacy rolled her eyes because the organization was anti-gay, which made her feel bad as a lesbian.


    And Luo An rolled his eyes because the purpose of this organization calling for all people to have guns is to reduce the crime rate.


    However, thinking of the dark forest effect caused by the fact that all people hold guns, it will eventually lead to Texas, which has the lowest crime rate in the entire federal...


    Roan scratched his head, he could only say that it was indeed the Federation.


    After thinking about it, he continued to ask:


    "This political organization is also in the Republican camp. Do they have any enmity with Congressman Emanuel Bain?"


    "It does."


    Mona on the other end of the phone tapped the keyboard for a while, and replied:


    "According to the data, the members of this organization include a large number of extremists with criminal records.


    When they learned that Senator Emanuel had got a seat in the New York Assembly, they were very supportive at first, but it didn''t take long for them to start abusing him in certain forums.


    Because they feel that the issues raised by Senator Emmanuel are too different from the previous performance, and they are too weak.


    Some time ago, the New York Assembly passed several gun suppression bills, which made them feel that Congressman Emanuel had lived up to their expectations. "


    Roan and Lacey showed a hint of understanding in their eyes. The most hated thing in the federal culture is a betrayer.


    Slowly parked the car on the side of the road, Roan continued to ask:


    "Who is the head of this political organization?"


    "A conservative activist named Ruben Paul, Emma Tacia''s distant uncle."


    Mona on the other end of the phone had a strange tone, and then said:


    ��Three days before Congressman Emanuel was killed, he had posted a video that read:


    We should fight for the freedom God has given us. Faith and weapons are indispensable to us. This is our right that cannot be exploited.


    Those who want to exploit our power are the enemies of the people, and the enemies of the people will definitely be eliminated. "


    "Wow, really tough."


    Lacey patted her arm and sighed, then turned to look at Roan.


    Roan didn''t talk nonsense, started the SUV again, and asked directly:


    "Where is this Ruben Paul now?"


    "Eh...he''s in the hospital."


    "?"


    ��


    In a hospital in Queens, Ruben Paul was lying pale on a hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around his chest.


    According to the NYPD''s data, five days ago, Ruben Paul was shot in front of a supermarket. There was no surveillance there, and the NYPD has not found the murderer yet.


    Knowing the purpose of Roan and Lacey''s visit, Ruben nodded while lying on the hospital bed:


    "Yes, I have heard the case of Senator Emmanuel being burned to death, and it is not surprising at all."


    Lacey paused: "What do you mean? You know Congressman Emanuel will be attacked?"


    "No, I''m just stating a possibility."


    Reuben shook his head:


    ��Rep. Emanuel cheated his own voters, and the patience of those patriots is limited.��


    Beside Roan threw the notebook aside and asked directly:


    "So, it was you who incited the supporters in the organization to eliminate Congressman Emmanuel, right?"


    "No, Mr. Agent."


    Ruben shook his head again and again, indicating that this kind of thing has nothing to do with him. The words in his words are just rhetorical. Roan can''t frame him, and then he added:


    ��Although I tend to be extremist, I am against violence, and even more against killing, because it will only backfire.


    So, no matter what you think, I''m not stupid, and I would never commit murder. "


    Hearing this, Lacey frowned, and Roan''s face remained unchanged. He took out the information that Mona found and asked:


    "Since last year, people from your organization have been arrested for violating the law. Every time you send someone to release them on bail."


    "Sorry, this is..."


    Ruben heard the words and continued to prepare a long speech. Roan was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him, so he said directly:


    "According to federal law, if your supporters did this, then you are suspected of inciting the other party.


    Trust me, if that''s the case, I can absolutely send you to jail. "


    "...cough cough cough."


    Hearing this, Ruben coughed again and again. After a few seconds of silence, he said:


    "I really didn''t do it, but there was a guy in the organization named Conor Trenner, a college student, who had said many times before that he was going to kill Emmanuel, the "traitor."


    Of course, I have nothing to do with him. "


    Casting a glance at Ruben, Roan and Lacey immediately turned and left the ward


    In the corridor, Roan pressed the communicator:


    "How about it, Mona, did you hear the name?"


    "heard it."


    There was a crackling sound from the other end of the phone, and then Mona''s tone was a little serious:


    "This Connor Trenner is very suspicious."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 203： The drifting journey of the mind

    Chapter 203 Drifting Mental Journey


    "What?"


    Hearing what Mona said, Lacey hurriedly asked:


    "Why do you say that?"


    "Connor Trenner, 22 years old this year, a student at a community college in New York, majoring in chemistry."


    Mona on the communicator introduced:


    "Back in college, Conor Trenner''s parents were both killed in a street shooting on Christmas Eve.


    Since then, Conor Trenner has joined political groups that oppose gun bans. "


    "..."


    Hearing this, Roan scratched his head with a strange expression.


    The cause and effect of this incident, and Connor Trenner''s mental journey, in his opinion, drifted a bit outrageously.


    But considering that this is a federation, it seems reasonable.


    ��Not only that, after the death of Senator Emmanuel, Connor Trenner was very active on social media.��


    In the communicator came the sound of typing on the keyboard, and at the same time came Mona''s introduction:


    ��Not only did he praise this incident, he insulted Congressman Emmanuel, and he also loudly called on people in the organization to do the same in the future. Only in this way can they successfully change this society.��


    As soon as Mona finished speaking, William''s voice came from the communicator again:


    "In addition, according to Connor Trenner''s credit card consumption records, he has recently purchased a large amount of gasoline and Styrofoam.


    And the political organization that Kermit joined was 30 minutes before being ignited, and he appeared in the surveillance of a store not far from there. "


    "Good job."


    Leaving the hospital building, the two quickly walked into the SUV. Roan asked while fastening his seat belt:


    "Where is Conor Trenner now?"


    Mona danced her ten fingers on the keyboard, and quickly replied:


    "Conor Trenner rented a warehouse in the Hackensack area of ??New Jersey for three months, according to credit card records.


    Surveillance video on the road in that area shows that Connor Trenner went there this morning and has not left yet! "


    "Ryder, contact the SWAT operation team and the trace inspection department immediately! We will meet up at that warehouse later!"


    Roan heard the words and immediately arranged loudly:


    "In addition, other agents of the No. 5 investigation team are always paying attention to the area where the warehouse is located, as well as the specific situation of Connor Trenner!"


    "no problem!"


    The voice of the communicator fell, and Ryder roared, and immediately rushed into the equipment warehouse.


    "Leave it to us!"


    William and other technical agents also responded loudly, and then began to tap the keyboard frantically.


    After Lacey fastened her seat belt, Roan stepped on the accelerator, and the SUV rushed out immediately.


    ��


    Always Clean warehouse in Hackensack, New Jersey.


    The pitch-black personnel carrier stopped slowly, and Ryder, a team of heavily armed SWAT action team members, and two trace inspection officers quickly walked down.


    "Quite fast, Ryder."


    Roan smiled and stepped forward to fist-fight with Ryder. Next to her, Lacey walked over with a middle-aged white woman and introduced:


    "This is Vanessa, the manager of this warehouse."


    "Hello, Mr. Agent."


    Vanessa reached out her hand and shook Roan, showed the information in her hand, and said:


    "The person you are looking for is at No. 162, E3 area, but there are some lack of lights in that area."


    "Thanks."


    Roan smiled and took the information handed over by the other party, glanced briefly, and immediately led Ryder and the SWAT team to the target area.


    Lacey didn''t participate this time because Roan had arranged other tasks for her.


    Seeing the slowly disappearing figures of Roan Ryder and others, Lacey turned her head and asked:


    "Manager Vanessa, where is the monitoring room? Can you see the scene of E3 area?"


    "The monitoring room is not far away, please come with me."


    Hearing Luo Leixi''s words, Vanessa immediately reached out her hand and led her to the monitoring room not far away, explaining at the same time:


    "Our monitoring covers all areas, and of course E3 area can also see it."


    "very good."


    The two walked into the monitoring room. Under Vanessa''s instruction, the security guard immediately adjusted the monitoring screen in the E3 area.


    At this time, Luo An, Ryder and SWAT team members had arrived in that area, and they were divided into two teams to block all the left and right roads of container 162.


    After confirming that everyone was ready, Roan raised his left hand and counted down to three, and then one of the SWAT team members immediately opened the door of the container, and Ryder led the rest of the team members to file in.


    "do not move!"


    "hands up!"


    "Put your stuff down!"


    The container was brightly lit, and a white youth was sitting busy at a table.


    The crowd who broke in suddenly startled the young white man, subconsciously stood up and raised his hands.


    But seeing the white text on the SWAT team members, the white youth''s face changed, and he suddenly remembered something, and immediately prepared to smash the thing in his right hand to the ground.


    Ryder at the front raised his eyebrows instantly when he saw this, and immediately stretched out his arms in a grappling posture to control the opponent.


    Poof!


    "ah-"


    The next second, a white light flashed in front of Ryder, and then the wailing of the white youth suddenly sounded in the container.


    Ryder reacted quickly, and immediately snatched the thing he was about to throw from the young white man''s hand, only to realize that the white light was a metal fork for eating, and it was firmly inserted in the young white man''s right palm at this time.


    The white youth clutched his right hand and wailed loudly. Although his face was very distorted, he could still recognize that he was indeed Connor Trenner.


    Ryder''s mouth twitched, and when he looked back, the expressions on the faces of all the SWAT players were the same as his, and they all looked at Roan in surprise.


    Standing at the door of the container, Luo An smiled at everyone, threw aside the other metal forks he picked up at the door of the container, waved his hand and said:


    "Stop watching, take Connor Trenner away immediately, and let the people from the trace inspection department inspect this container!"


    "OK!"


    Hearing Roan''s order, several SWAT team members put away the admiration on their faces, and immediately carried Connor Trenner out of the container, replaced by two detectives from the Trace Inspection Section.


    "Standard Molotov cocktail making laboratory."


    Two trace inspection officers carefully inspected the contents of the container, and said to Luo An after a long time:


    "In simple terms, the production materials here and the completed Molotov cocktail production technology are 80% the same as the leftover Molotov cocktails at the scene of the two cases.


    The specific results can only be determined after the laboratory of the Trace Inspection Department has thoroughly checked and compared them. "


    Hearing this, Ryder showed a smile on his face:


    "So, Connor Trenner is the murderer of this arson homicide."


    "No, he''s just the guy who makes Molotov cocktails."


    Roan next to him shook his head. He pointed to the completed Molotov cocktails on the ground and said to the remaining materials:


    "Judging from the remaining materials here, the other party should have made several bottles of Molotov cocktails, but they are not here now.


    So Conor Trenner should have an accomplice. "


    Ryder froze with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to say something, Lacey suddenly walked in from the door of the container.


    "You''re right."


    Handing the laptop in her hand to Ryder, Lacey said that Roan asked her to check the monitoring just now, and she found out:


    ��In addition to Conor Trenner, there was a guy in a hoodie who always came to this container and took several boxes from here.


    But the other party has been wearing a mask, and the other party''s face can''t be seen clearly in the screen. "


    Looking at the dark surveillance video in the computer, Ryder frowned. Roan thought about it and asked:


    "What about the surveillance outside the warehouse? Did you take a picture of how the other party left here?"


    "This one was photographed."


    Lacey nodded and called up another surveillance video of Hoodie opening a white sedan and driving away.


    "Let William investigate the license plate of this car."


    Put the computer back into Ryder''s arms, Roan strode out of the container:


    "Also, go back to investigation team No. 5 and interrogate Connor Trenner!"

 Chapter 204： "Soldiers" in the interrogation room

    Chapter 204 "Soldier" in the interrogation room


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    Roan was sitting on a chair, drinking coffee calmly while looking at the information in his hand, William not far away looked up and said:


    "According to the investigation, the license plate of the car driven by the man in the hoodie is a fake one, and the car was also stolen."


    Mona on the side tapped the keyboard a few times and added:


    "After the car left the area where the warehouse is located, it disappeared from the camera on the road."


    "He''s a very cautious guy."


    Roan put the coffee on the table, left the chair and stretched, turned his gaze to Lacey, and said with a smile:


    "Let''s go and interrogate Connor Trenner."


    Ten minutes ago, Connor Trenner, who had treated the wound on his hand, had been brought back to the interrogation room of the No. 5 investigation team by Ryder.


    "OK."


    Lacey nodded, immediately picked up her notebook and followed Roan.


    Mona and Ryder next to each other looked at each other, got up and walked into the monitoring room next to the interrogation room.


    In the interrogation room, Connor Trenner was handcuffed to the table, bowed his head in silence, expressionless.


    "Good afternoon, Mr. Trenner."


    Opened the door and walked into the interrogation room. Lacey sat on a chair, Roan leaned against the wall next to him with his arms folded, and said with a smile:


    "We found a lot of raw materials for making Molotov cocktails, such as gasoline, Styrofoam, and conduits, in the warehouse you rented."


    Connor Trenner shrugged:


    "I studied chemistry, these are just my experiments and research."


    Lacey narrowed her eyes slightly:


    ��After the death of Congressman Emanuel, you praised it in the forums and said that others should do the same.��


    Connor Trenner is still indifferent:


    "It''s just a complaint on the Internet, and what you say doesn''t mean you really want to do it. Federal law supports freedom of speech."


    "You have thought about these rhetoric for a long time."


    Roan, who was leaning against the wall, chuckled, took the information in Lacey''s hand, and said:


    "We have investigated your information. During your college years, you have illegally invaded the offices of other political organizations many times. During the parade, you used illegal means to disrupt social order... These are all very low-level activities.


    But Trenner, you really did something big this time. "


    Connor Trenner''s expression remained unchanged:


    "Sorry, I don''t understand what you''re saying."


    "Let me explain to you in advance, Trenner."


    Opening the folder and throwing it in front of Connor Trenner, Roan put away the smile on his face and said in a deep voice:


    "It doesn''t matter if you lit the flame or not, you''re already in trouble, and that''s called "risk sharing" in federal law.


    If those Molotov cocktails that were taken are used again and kill others, you will be held responsible.


    In addition, because you are the maker of Molotov cocktails and refused to cooperate after we arrested you, your charges will only be heavier than your accomplice, and you will spend longer in prison than him. "


    Connor Trenner froze immediately when he heard the words. After a few seconds of silence, he took a deep breath, raised his head, looked at Roan with a serious face and said:


    ��The death of a soldier for a purpose is the most noble thing in this world.��


    Hearing this, the faces of Lacey in the interrogation room and Ryder in the monitoring room all sank. This is obviously a situation of being brainwashed.


    Mona next to Ryder was also very nervous, but she saw that Roan''s expression remained unchanged, and the fist that was suddenly clenched slowly loosened again.


    Roan in the interrogation room snorted softly and asked:


    "This sentence was told to you by that accomplice."


    Connor Trenner didn''t answer, but the gaze in his eyes became firmer.


    "It seems so."


    Roan nodded, the other party''s reaction was not much different from a direct admission, and then he continued:


    "But you are not a soldier, Trenner."


    Connor Trenner''s eyes flickered slightly, and Roan, who saw this scene, narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued:


    "Plus, your political goal is against gun ban, right?


    You are dead, do you think this goal will be inherited by your accomplices? "


    Connor Trenner was about to raise his head to speak, but Roan shook his head, pointed to the information in the folder and continued:


    "Impossible, he cannot continue to support your goals.


    Depending on how much gasoline and styrofoam you bought, you probably made about 70 Molotov cocktails.


    But the two crime scenes, and the remaining Molotov cocktails in your warehouse, add up to less than 23 bottles, so where did the rest go? It must have been sold by your accomplices for money. "


    "impossible!"


    Hearing this, Trenner blushed immediately:


    "There''s no way he''d do that!"


    That''s what he said, but Trenner looked at the information in front of him and rolled his eyes, and at the same time began to subconsciously lick his chapped lips.


    Trenner''s sudden violent reaction startled Lacey, and Ryder and Mona in the monitoring room were also a little surprised. Roan raised his brows slightly, and asked with a smile on his hands:


    "Why is it impossible? You just handed over the Molotov cocktails to the other party. Do you know how the other party uses them?"


    "Because...because..."


    Trenner on the chair rolled his eyes wildly, and wanted to say something but didn''t know what to say.


    Seeing the opponent''s performance, Roan knew it was time, so he bent down, stared at Trenner, and said in a cold voice:


    "That guy is older than you, right?


    He tells you that it is noblest thing for a soldier to die for a purpose, so that you refuse to give us his name.


    After you enter the prison, he will take your money and live in style outside the prison. When he thinks of you, he will probably laugh at you for helping him take the blame..."


    Seeing the cold light in Roan''s eyes approaching, Trenner''s face turned pale and the corners of his mouth trembled.


    Seeing this, Luo An lowered the coldness in his voice, and said in a low voice:


    "Connor, you are only 22 years old, and you still have a lot of life waiting for you to spend. Prison is definitely not a good place.


    There is only one chance to save yourself, now, tell me, who is your accomplice? "


    The air in the interrogation room was extremely quiet. Sitting on the sidelines and watching the whole process clearly, Lacey didn''t dare to take a breath, her hands clenched into fists, and her eyes were fixed on Trenner on the opposite side.


    The same is true for the scene in the surveillance room. Ryder and Mona subconsciously slowed down their breathing, leaned forward, and fixed their eyes on the screen in the surveillance.


    "Wilkin, his name is Wilkin."


    After a long time, Trenner sighed and said in a low voice:


    "I met him at the Black Forest bar in Brooklyn."


    boom!


    The moment Trenner opened her mouth, Mona clapped her hands and raised the corners of her mouth. Ryder beside her also smiled instantly, and slapped the table hard:


    "Nice job! I knew Roan could do it!"


    Lacey''s eyes in the interrogation room were shining brightly. She didn''t speak for fear of attracting Trenner''s attention, but she looked at Roan with admiration, and calmly gave a thumbs up to Mona in the monitoring room behind her.


    Mona smiled even more when she saw this.


    Roan, who was interrogating, didn''t notice the expressions of the people behind him. After hearing Trenner''s words, he continued to ask:


    "Do you know where Wilkin lives?"


    "Sorry."


    At this time, Trenner lowered his head, and when he heard Roan''s question, he answered slowly:


    "I really don''t know where he is, we always meet at the warehouse."


    "It doesn''t matter."


    Roan straightened up and said with a smile:


    "A portrait artist will come over later, tell us all about Wilkin''s height, body shape, appearance, and skin color, OK?"


    "OK."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 205： Truth Capture Plan No. 2

    Chapter 205 Truth Capture Plan No. 2


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    "Wilkin Brook, a native of New Jersey, is 48 years old this year."


    According to Trenner��s dictation and the portrait made by the portraitist, William and several technical agents successfully found the other party��s relevant information in the FBI��s internal database:


    "This guy was a soldier when he was young, and the information in the army shows that he is very eloquent and very good at impromptu speeches."


    This is not surprising to Roan. If the other party is not eloquent, it is impossible to fool Connor Trenner into this.


    Seeing the bohemian face of Wilkin Brooke in the portrait, with different facial features, Roan twitched the corner of his mouth, took a sip of coffee, and sat on the chair and asked:


    "Then what?"


    ��Then he was kicked out of the army.��


    Mona shrugged, pointed to the information in the computer and said:


    ��Wilkin once played poker with his team leader, and he was caught cheating on the spot, so he was kicked out of the army.


    After leaving the army, he has been in and out of federal prisons many times for a host of crimes such as illegally carrying guns, intentionally hurting others, theft, resisting arrest, drunk driving, and manslaughter. "


    "Wow, still a ''good'' talent."


    Seeing the information in Mona''s computer, Roan said with a smile on his face, and continued to ask:


    "So, he has a grudge against Senator Emmanuel Bain?"


    Mona shook her head:


    "No, it should be said that his son has conflicts with Emmanuel Bain."


    "What?"


    Lacey on the side was a little surprised. Wilkin Brook grew up like this and has a son?


    Given Lacey a blank look, Mona continued to explain:


    "Wilkin''s son, named Henry, had joined Cody''s newspaper.


    Some time ago, Henry and those radicals left the Cody newspaper together. It didn��t take long for him to be imprisoned for violating the law and resisting arrest when he marched outside against Congressman Emanuel. "


    "Then Wilkin targeted Senator Emanuel Bain for revenge."


    Roan nodded, this style is very in line with the simple folk customs of America.


    At the same time, Trenner not only opposed Congressman Emmanuel, but also had conflicts with the political organization that Kermit belonged to.


    But Trenner had no intention of killing Senator Emanuel at that time, until he met Wilkin in the "Black Forest" bar.


    After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wilkin managed to get the information he wanted from Trenner''s mouth. At the same time, he used excellent eloquence and political slogans to stabilize Trenner, and began to let Trenner make Molotov cocktails.


    And one of the prerequisites for Trenner to choose to join Wilkin is that Wilkin took him and successfully set fire to Kermit''s political organization with a Molotov cocktail.


    "Everything is connected."


    After listening to Mona''s narration, all the agents nodded in unison, and then looked at Roan with admiration.


    If it wasn''t for Roan''s success in getting Trenner to speak, with Wilkin''s years of experience hiding in XZ, it would probably take quite a long time to figure out the real situation of this case and catch Wilkin.


    "Good job!"


    Standing at the front of the office area, August also glanced at Roan with a smile on his face, then turned to look at Mona:


    "How about it, did you find out where Wilkin is hiding now?"


    "It''s easy."


    Mona smiled and said that although Wilkin was very cautious, he was old and didn''t understand computer networks, let alone that the FBI had facial recognition information for an outstanding social talent like him who had been imprisoned many times of.


    Opening the FBI''s internal database network, Mona''s ten fingers were flying on the keyboard, and she quickly found the other party:


    "That guy is hiding in Sussex County, NJ right now!"


    ��


    Sussex County, located in the upper left of New Jersey, has a population of about 140,000. It is only a county in terms of administrative division, but the place is relatively small.


    In addition, Mona only found out that the other party was hiding in this county, but it took a lot of time for the agents of the No. 5 investigation team to find out where she was hiding.


    The next morning.


    "Everyone, this is the abandoned factory building where Wilkin Brook is hiding."


    In an unoccupied apartment a few streets away from the abandoned factory building, Roan explained the situation to Ryder and the two SWAT teams with a serious face:


    "According to our investigation, there are not only a few Molotov cocktails in this factory, but also a small number of rifles and pistols.


    At the same time, in addition to Wilkin Brook himself, there were five middle-aged white men who had the same experience as him in the factory. "


    Several of them were comrades-in-arms of Wilkin Brook when he was young. The reason why they got together this time, William and others have not found out yet.


    After receiving the photos of several people from Luo An, the SWAT teams of the two teams quickly circulated them. After discussing the plan for this operation, everyone immediately left here and got into the car.


    Different from directly using plastic bombs to break into the door in the past, in the action plan formulated by Roan this time, he also contacted two New Jersey policemen and asked them to drive a wrecker and loudly pull away Wilkin''s newly bought car.


    If Wilkin finds out and comes out to stop them, then everyone can swarm up to ease each other, and then slowly deal with the remaining few people.


    The two SWAT teams are ready at the designated positions, Roan nodded:


    "Action!"


    Two New Jersey police officers heard this and immediately drove the wrecker to the side of Wilkin''s new car.


    buzz buzz��


    When the double forks of the machine entered the bottom of the new car, a huge noise instantly rang through the area.


    Within a few seconds, the door of the warehouse was opened, and a middle-aged white man came out with a displeased face, pointed at the two policemen and shouted:


    "Hey! What are you doing?"


    Seeing that it wasn''t Wilkin Brook, Ryder and all the SWAT players were a little disappointed.


    But Roan didn''t care about it, anyway, they still have follow-up plans.


    Without hesitation, Roan immediately pressed the communicator:


    "Plan No. 2! Start to act!"


    "receive!!"


    After the voice fell, two SWAT members who had been ambushing for a long time jumped out from the side of the wrecker immediately, and before the middle-aged white man could react, they punched and kicked him into a deep sleep.


    At the same time, Roan and Ryder, who were heavily armed, each followed a team of SWAT agents and quickly rushed into the front and rear doors of the abandoned factory with weapons in hand.


    Because the police appeared here inexplicably with a wrecker, except for the middle-aged white man who came out to check the situation, the rest of the people in the factory also frowned and walked quickly to the gate, ready to check what happened outside.


    Then they saw the SWAT team that broke into the warehouse suddenly.


    "do not move!"


    "Hands up!"


    "Put your hands where we can see them!"


    Hearing the shouts of the SWAT team members and seeing the weapons in their hands, the expressions of Wilkin and several middle-aged white men suddenly changed.


    Because they heard the sound of the wrecker, they knew that it was the police who had come. They all left their heavy weapons in the warehouse and only had pistols in their arms.


    But before they put their hands into their arms and counterattacked with pistols, because the distance between the two sides was too close, a group of SWAT players had already pushed their rifles to their foreheads.


    "Shit!"


    "Sonof than eat!"


    The faces of several people became even more ugly, and they all yelled at this group of FBI for not talking about martial arts.


    Including Wilkin, there are five middle-aged white men standing at the warehouse door.


    There are 20 SWAT players at the front and back doors, each of them is divided into four, and there is only one Roan and one Ryder left on the scene.


    The extremely ugly and cursing Wilkin and others were stuffed into the personnel carrier, and a group of SWAT agents looked at Roan, the planner of this operation, with smiles and admiration in their eyes.


    The task was so easy and successful, and they, the SWAT team, had the bragging rights when they drank in the future.


    If there is no accident, the next time I hear that Agent Luo An of the No. 5 investigation team needs to assist in the operation, the competition between the several SWAT teams may be much fiercer.


    Roan didn''t see the eyes of these SWAT players, because Ryder just made some new discoveries in the warehouse.


    Looking along Ryder''s fingers, Roan frowned.


    Because he saw a bunch of detonators, C4 explosives, detonating cord.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 206： Case closed with Microsoft Corporation

    Chapter 206 case closed with Microsoft Corporation


    "Thanks to your plan of action, Roan."


    Looking at the detonators and other items on the ground, Ryder''s mouth was dry and he felt lingering fear.


    If you follow the previous mode of action, blow up the warehouse gate directly with plastic bombs, and then forcefully break into and arrest the target person.


    In case there is a mistake in the whole process, Wilkin and the group of guys have a chance to detonate the bomb...


    Mission failure is just a trivial matter, and it is a major event that some of them will go to heaven to chat with God with a high probability.


    Several SWAT team members next to him also thought of this, and then they looked at Roan with even more admiration.


    "I asked people from the trace inspection department to deal with these things."


    Seeing the dry throats of Ryder and several SWAT team members, Roan chuckled, took out his mobile phone and called the trace inspection department.


    Not long after, agents from the Trace Inspection Division arrived here.


    During this period, Roan and Ryder carefully inspected the depths of the warehouse, and found a bank''s floor plan, as well as the bank''s monitoring deployment and other information.


    Obviously, Wilkin Brook and his group are planning to rob a bank.


    But unfortunately, the bank that this group of people are targeting is one of the six previous serial bank robberies.


    As the bank''s security consultant, Luo An has helped them improve their security and monitoring facilities.


    But Wilkin-Brook and the others didn��t know this. The surveillance recorded in their blueprints were all surveillance cameras deliberately placed on the bright side by Roan.


    If Wilkin-Brook really went to rob that bank with the robbery plan they have now drawn up...


    Ryder grinned and raised his right hand to give Roan a thumbs up.


    After the Trace Inspection Section thoroughly dealt with the situation here, Roan called Augustus on the way back.


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Augustus laughed on the phone, praised Roan with great satisfaction, then got up and left the No. 5 investigation team, and strode to the office of the special agent supervisor Corbett.


    A popular congressman died in this case, and was burned alive with a Molotov cocktail.


    The death method is so cruel, this case is not surprising, the New York media has long been eyeing the FBI, Corbett has asked about the investigation of the case many times, and the mayor of New York has also called Augustus before. .


    Now that the case has been solved and the murderer was successfully caught by Roan''s men, the pressure on Augustus'' shoulders has been swept away, so his **** face is now full of smiles, and he even showed his own face in front of Corbett. Back molars.


    Corbett: "��"


    ��


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    Roan pushed open the door and walked in, which immediately caused a commotion.


    They all heard from William, the most well-informed, that Roan made a plan this time and led the SWAT team to successfully capture the target person without firing a single shot.


    Although this is not the first time in the history of FBI operations, it is also a rare record.


    "Everyone!"


    William raised the coffee cup on his table, and shouted loudly with a smile on his face:


    "A toast to our Agent Roan Greenwood!"


    Hearing this, Lacey and several technical agents laughed, and Qiqi raised the coffee cups on their table:


    "Hahaha��"


    "A toast to Detective Luo An!"


    Taking the coffee cup from the smiling Mona, Roan raised his hand to the agents and took a sip, smiling:


    "William, I like how quickly you get the news.


    So next time you hear about this kind of thing, how about replacing the coffee of our No. 5 investigation team with beer? "


    Laughter came from the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, and William waved his hands again and again with the same smile on his face:


    "Forget it, Augustus will probably kill me!"


    Ryder next to ?? laughed when he heard the words:


    "William, you haven''t tried it, what if Augustus also likes this way of celebration?"


    Hearing this, William couldn''t help but rolled his eyes, and there was a happy atmosphere in the No. 5 investigation team.


    Augus hadn''t come back yet, and without any urging, the agents of the No. 5 investigation team started chatting, and some of them made fun of Roan.


    Roan didn''t care either, he wasn''t glass-hearted, and that''s how federal people express humor, just get used to it.


    And after getting used to it, Roan also learned to tease each other instead.


    More than two hours later, Augustus returned to the No. 5 investigation team with a happy face, praised Luo An again for a long time, and then let the detectives start to deal with the follow-up of the case.


    Lacey and Mona are in charge of the interrogation of Wilkin-Brook this time. After all, the witness Connor Trenner is in their hands now, and several Molotov cocktails as physical evidence were also found in that warehouse at the same time as the rifle. .


    In the case of all the witnesses and material evidence, the interrogation is just a process, and there is no need for Luo An to take action.


    So just like usual, the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team should deal with documents, and write reports. Everyone started to work with their heads down.


    Only Roan sat on a chair and fiddled with the computer in circles, chatting with a group of people on an online forum about water experience.


    The two days of Saturday and Sunday belonged to temporary overtime work. When it was time to get off work today, Augustus announced loudly that the overtime pay would be paid together with the wages of all the detectives next week.


    William and the others applauded with a smile on their faces when they heard the news, but deep down they were not particularly happy.


    After all, they are all native-born federal people. Although there are overtime pay for overtime work, they still prefer to rest with their families on weekends.


    Mona and Roan were very happy when they heard the news.


    Needless to say, the reason why Luo An is happy, and the reason why Mona is happy is that she is still poor, and overtime pay can relieve her pressure.


    The next day, Tuesday.


    The others continued to go to work until the o''clock, and Roan called Augustus to ask for leave, and then drove slowly to Wall Street.


    In the eyes of the wealthy people in the Federation, if the US dollar remains in their hands, it will only depreciate in value, so the best way is to invest it out and let money make money.


    It��s just that investment is risky. No one can judge whether the money thrown out is a huge profit or a loss. Therefore, the stockbroker profession on Wall Street came into being. money.


    But Roan doesn��t need the help of a stockbroker. One is that he understands the methods and operating procedures of buying stocks, and the other is that he doesn��t need a stockbroker to help him distinguish which stocks are worthless and which are valuable.


    The names of several large Wall Street companies in later generations are well-known. At this time, Roan had 1.35 million US dollars in his hand. After thinking for a while, he spent 1.2 million US dollars to buy stocks again.


    Based on the idea that all eggs should not be put in the same basket, what Roan bought this time was not Apple stock, but another big company:


    Microsoft.


    At this time, the stock price of Microsoft in 2005 has been fluctuating between 15-25 US dollars.


    But in 2021, Microsoft''s stock has risen to around $230.


    With such a huge increase, Luo An, whose goal is to earn 100 million first, naturally chose to let the other party help him make money.


    After dealing with the stocks, Roan glanced at the busy figures at work, turned around, and left the building slowly.


    After buying more than a dozen packs of specialty snacks at a stall next to Wall Street, Roan drove slowly back to the Jacobs Federal Building.


    "Good afternoon, guys."


    Pushing open the door of the No. 5 investigation team office area, Luo An said loudly:


    "I brought you some snacks."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 207： For details, please move to the browser

    Chapter 207, please move to the browser for details


    Lacey gets up and pulls an enchilada from her pocket:


    "Thanks, this is my favorite."


    "Wow, I didn''t expect your taste to be so strong."


    Roan casually teased Lacey, then first took out a piece of Mona''s favorite "steak egg cheese boat" and handed it to Mona, and finally handed the pocket to Ryder for him to distribute to the rest of the agents.


    Ryder, who took the pocket, grinned when he saw his favorite "chicken curry pancake" in the pocket.


    Soon, the snacks in the package were distributed, and the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team was filled with the aroma of food for a while.


    Of course, Roan didn''t forget about Augustus. After chatting with Mona with a smile, he got up and walked into the team leader''s office with the "Super Thick Beef Burger".


    "Thanks."


    After taking the food in Roan''s hand, Augustus'' **** face was full of smiles.


    "By the way, Roan, you came just in time."


    But Augustus didn''t rush to bite the burger, but handed the two folders to Roan.


    Sitting on the chair, he opened the folder. As he expected, it contained the bonuses issued by investigation team No. 5 this weekend, and the proof that Roan himself had doubled his bonuses.


    The others will each receive $1,500, and Roan will receive $3,000.


    "Thank you, sir."


    Luo An chuckled, because just after buying the stocks, he only had a "mere" 150,000 US dollars in his hand, which made him feel very uncomfortable who has always been insecure.


    "You''re welcome."


    He took a big bite of the hamburger, and Augustus waved his hands, then vaguely asked about the details of several cases, quickly wiped his hands, and said:


    "Roan, you handled this case very well. When I went to the special agent''s office yesterday, Corbett was also very happy and praised you loudly."


    "..."


    Seeing Augustus finish the thickened hamburger bigger than his face in a few bites, Roan''s eyes showed surprise.


    However, after hearing what Augustus said, Roan still smiled and answered the other party. The two chatted briefly for a while, and Roan got up and left the team leader''s office.


    Returning to his seat, Roan pressed the power button of the computer and waited for the screen to turn slowly, before he opened the system page in his mind.


    The system gave Roan an evaluation of [excellent]. After a rough opening animation of the treasure chest, four bottles of medicine appeared.


    Seeing the names of these four bottles of potions, Roan frowned, because these four bottles of potions were not the [Physical Potion] or [Strength Potion] that had been prescribed a few days ago.


    It was [Sensitive Potion] [Danger Perception Potion] and [Sleep Potion] that hadn''t appeared for a long time.


    In addition, there is a bottle of [Tracking Potion] that Roan has never seen before, which was opened for the first time from the system treasure chest


    At this time, in the system warehouse column in Luo An''s mind, there is


    ��Hemostatic Potion��4��


    ��Physical Potion��2��


    ��antidote x 2��


    ��Strength potion��1��


    ��Sensitive potion �� 1��


    ��Sleep Potion��1��

    ��Featherfall Potion��1��


    ��Tracking Potion��1��


    ��Weakness Potion��1��


    ��Scuba Potion��1��


    ��Analgesic Potion��1��


    In addition to this, there is also a $50 and a $100 ticket issued by the system a few days ago.


    Looking at the new potion in his mind, Roan frowned slightly.


    As time went by, Roan discovered that there were two types of potions opened from the system treasure chest.


    One of them is ��Physical Potion����Strength Potion��. When you drink it, the ability will burst out immediately. After time, most of the abilities will disappear, but a small part of the abilities will remain in Roan''s body forever.


    The other one is [Featherfall Potion] [Fire Resistance Potion], which is a one-time potion. It bursts into action when you drink it, and the ability disappears completely after time passes.


    "So, is this [Tracking Potion] a one-off, or is a small part permanently left?"


    Roan opened his eyes and meditated quietly. At this moment, Mona, who had finally finished eating the "Steak Egg Cheese Boat", wiped her hands, turned around and came over:


    "Roan, can you do me a favor?"


    "Um?"


    Hearing this, Roan threw the tracking potion behind his head, turned his head and asked with a smile:


    "What''s busy?"


    "Help move something."


    Mona shrugged and said that the small apartment she bought in the capital has been renovated, so she plans to move out of the No. 5 investigation team after get off work today.


    It''s just that she has a lot of things, and I''m afraid I can''t take them back by myself.


    "OK."


    It''s just a trivial matter, Roan immediately nodded and agreed.


    Then when it was off-duty time, after all the other agents of the No. 5 investigation team left, Luo An looked at the six large boxes in front of him and fell into deep thought.


    Mona on the side saw this, her face flushed slightly.


    She really didn''t realize that she had brought so many things to the No. 5 investigation team during this time.


    Don''t ask, asking is a woman.


    More than an hour later, Roan put the last big box into the living room of Mona''s apartment, and then sat down on the sofa in the living room.


    "Gulu..."


    His stomach growled, and Roan''s chest was already hungry and his back was pressed against his back.


    "Let''s stay and have dinner together."


    Mona, who was packing her things, immediately went to the kitchen and took out a large steak and a dozen oysters from the refrigerator, saying that these were the promotions in the nearby supermarket, and she bought them during the discount.


    Mona and Roan both know how to cook, and with the cooperation of the two, the table beside them was quickly filled with food.


    Set the tableware, Roan opened a bottle of red wine, and the two started dinner.


    Picked up the wine glass and touched Mona, Roan tasted the steak made by Mona, his eyes lit up:


    "very delicious."


    "Thanks."


    Mona put down her wine glass and said with a smile:


    ��This is how my mom taught me to make it.��


    "Your mother?"


    Swallowing the food in his mouth, Roan hesitated, and tentatively asked about Mona''s family situation.


    Roan knows that Mona''s father works in the CIA, and his status is not low, but for her mother...


    Roan only knew that when Mona filled in the information, she wrote that her mother died.


    "my mother��"


    Hearing Roan''s question, Mona bit the steak in her mouth hard, and her eyes turned red under the influence of alcohol.


    After being silent for a while, Mona calmed down her emotions and said in a low voice:


    "My father was a CIA when he was young. He was away from home all the year round and only transferred money to my mother''s bank card. I have no memory of him since I was a child.


    Later, my mother was hospitalized because of cancer, and he never came back to see her until she died.


    It wasn��t until I was in college that he showed up to meet me one night and handed me a bank card and a phone number����


    After listening to Mona''s narration, Roan took out a piece of paper and handed it to her:


    "Sorry."


    "no need to say sorry."


    Mona shook her head, picked up the red wine on the table and drank it down.


    Soon, the two finished their dinner, and the afterglow of the sunset reflected into the room through the glass, rendering the entire living room and kitchen golden.


    Mona stood in front of the window and looked into the distance. Roan, who finished packing the tableware, walked behind her and hugged her in his arms.


    Mona just made a slight move.


    A moment later, as the sun set, Roan bowed his head and kissed her.


    Please move to your browser for specific content.


    Good time is always short. The next morning, Roan slowly opened his eyes.


    Seeing Mona eating Luo''s delicate body beside him, Roan smiled and kissed her on the face, then got up and made breakfast.


    Last night, I had been exercising for a long time, and those steaks have been digested.


    Walking back to the bedroom with breakfast to wake Mona up, Roan stretched out his hands and played around while she was getting dressed, causing Mona to scream.


    More than half an hour later, Roan drove Mona to the No. 5 investigation team.

 Chapter 208： Monas Hidden Objects

    Chapter 208 Mona''s Hidden Object


    From Wednesday to Friday, the No. 5 investigation team has been dealing with the follow-up of the previous cases, and no new cases have been handed over to them.


    In this situation, Luo An naturally became the person who was doing nothing and fishing openly every day.


    During these three days, Roan and Mona got tired of being together after get off work every day, and started playing games after dinner.


    Friday night, while playing a game, Roan accidentally discovered Mona''s hidden object: a toy!


    Roan didn''t have much thought about Mona''s hidden toys.


    This is the Federation, and the other party is a native Federation woman, or an adult woman who has been single for a long time. It is normal behavior to relax and help yourself relieve stress.


    But Mona''s skin is thinner after all, so the moment the toy was found, Roan''s eardrums were almost shattered by her.


    After reacting, Roan hurriedly coaxed Mona for a long time, and managed to make Mona agree to Roan''s suggestion to use toys to play games together in the next game.


    Then the next Saturday morning, Roan was kicked out of bed by Mona and kicked out of the bedroom.


    The reason is that Luo An has taken [Physical Potion] many times, and his physical fitness has improved so that he can play games for a long time each time. In addition, the design of the toy is to help the toy user relax to the maximum extent...


    When the two-pronged approach was taken, the big bed in the bedroom was directly soaked in the water.


    Roan, who was kicked out of the bedroom early in the morning, didn''t care. After a brief wash, he went into the kitchen again to make breakfast.


    The situation has been like this for the past three days, Mona is in charge of dinner, and Roan is in charge of breakfast.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Knocking on the door of the bedroom with the prepared breakfast, Roan said loudly:


    "Breakfast is ready, Mona! Open the door!"


    "No!"


    In the bedroom, Mona blushed as she looked at the sheets that she couldn''t sleep at all.


    If it weren''t for the soreness in her body last night, she really didn''t have any strength, she would never have slept on this big bed all night.


    Hearing that Roan made breakfast and asked him to open the door, Mona''s face became more ashamed and indignant.


    In the past few days, every time she got up to get dressed in the morning, Roan''s hands and feet were not clean. It was only because she had to go to work that she had to give up the idea of ??continuing to fight.


    But today is Saturday, and the morning is still the time when men are at their most energetic. Mona, who feels that her body has not recovered yet, will not let Roan in no matter what.


    "Okay, I''ll put breakfast on the table then."


    Roan outside the bedroom had already guessed what Mona was thinking, and he still understood the reason why too much was too late. After struggling for so long last night, Roan would not continue to do anything this morning because of Mona''s body.


    It��s just that Mona wouldn��t believe it, so she put the breakfast on the table, and Roan added:


    "Mona, breakfast is hot!


    I''ll go back to the apartment and change a set of clothes. Ryder invited us to his family barbecue party yesterday. Please pay attention to your time and don''t be late. "


    Roan originally wanted to go home and change clothes before picking up Mona, but Mona rejected this proposal last night, and she wanted to drive by herself.


    At present, Mona does not want to disclose her relationship with Roan in front of the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Get out of here!"


    Hearing Mona''s hoarse voice due to lack of water coming from the bedroom, Roan smiled, opened the door and walked out.


    It was a long time since the sound of the door closing, before Mona carefully opened the bedroom door and walked out of the room after looking around carefully.


    No way, last time when Mona took a shower, Roan also said that she was leaving, and then she just opened the door, Roan rushed in.


    When it comes to work or daily life, Roan is consistent, serious and serious. Mona trusts Roan very much.


    But at some point, Mona found that she couldn''t believe eleven out of ten sentences that Roan said.


    Finding that Roan really left the apartment, Mona patted her conscience in relief, and then ate the breakfast on the table.


    These days Roan made different breakfasts every time, but they were all Mona''s favorite taste, so the food on the table was quickly eaten up by Mona.


    Walking into the bathroom, Mona had a beautiful smile on her face when she saw the toothpaste, hot water, and a change of clothes that Roan had prepared for her in advance.


    But while taking a shower, Mona suddenly thought of something, and the happy smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a faint sadness.


    ����


    Driving the Chevrolet back to his small apartment in Greenwich, Roan only came back to change clothes these days.


    In addition, Roan hadn''t really lived here for too long, and when he walked into the room, he suddenly felt a faint sense of strangeness.


    After taking a shower, taking care of personal hygiene, and changing into a set of casual clothes that he usually wears, Roan looked at himself in front of the mirror, smiled, and left here again for Ryder''s house.


    The temperature in New York today is neither too hot nor too cold, which is very suitable for going out and playing.


    It was exactly ten o''clock in the morning when Roan arrived at Ryder''s house, but Ryder had already set up barbecue grills, beer and drinks on the lawn behind the house at this time, and roasted and drank by himself for more than half an hour.


    Seeing Roan coming, Ryder immediately got up and stood up, laughing loudly:


    "Good morning, Roan! I didn''t expect you to come so early!"


    Yesterday Ryder said the time was twelve o''clock.


    "Good morning, Ryder."


    Opened his hands and hugged Ryder, Roan took a bottle of cold beer and opened it, raised his head and took a sip, then replied with a smile:


    "Fortunately, I came early, otherwise you would have eaten all the barbecue by yourself."


    Just then, Ryder''s wife, Yvonne, came out with a bucket of cold beer.


    "Good morning, Yvonne."


    "Good morning."


    Yvonne slapped Ryder''s arm hard, then smiled and said to Roan:


    "Don''t worry, Roan, some time ago my father brought us a few cows from Texas, and Ryder would definitely not be able to eat them all by himself!"


    "..."


    Hearing the bold words of the farmer''s daughter, Roan was dumbfounded. He picked up the beer and touched Ryder. He said with a smile:


    "Ryder, to marry such a good wife as Yvonne, did you save Texas in your previous life?"


    Hearing this, Ryder kissed Yvonne **** the face, and then replied with a smile:


    "No, I probably saved the entire planet in my previous life!"


    Yvonne kicked Ryder''s thigh hard, rolled her eyes, smiled and had a brief chat with Roan. It happened that someone else came, and Yvonne and Ryder got up to greet each other.


    A few hours later, the lawn of Ryder''s house was full of people, among whom Yvonne, Mona, Lacey and other women chattered and grilled meat on the left, while Ryder, Roan, Augustus and other men drank and chatted loudly on the right.


    Among them, some children were playing around in the crowd, and the atmosphere at the scene was very lively.


    After a while, Roan put down the beer in his hand and was about to take a barbecue mat to pad his stomach. Augustus suddenly walked over, patted Roan on the shoulder and led him to the corner of the lawn.


    Luan showed doubts:


    "What''s the matter, sir?"


    Augus raised his mobile phone, with a serious face, whispered:


    "I just got a message.


    Special Agent Director Corbett will be transferred to the Washington headquarters next Monday! "


    "What?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 209： Deputy Head of Investigation Team No. 5

    Chapter 209 Deputy Head of Investigation Team No. 5


    "What?"


    Hearing this, the expression on Roan''s face was a little surprised.


    How could it be so fast?


    But before Roan asked the reason behind it, Augustus added in a low voice:


    "Verinis has almost recovered. I just asked about it. She will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."


    Hearing this, Luo An''s eyes lit up.


    Seeing Augustus''s **** face raising his eyebrows again, Roan also showed a smile on his face, and hurriedly picked up the bottle and touched Augustus:


    "Thank you for the message, sir."


    "You don''t need to thank me, this is what you earned through your own efforts."


    Patting Roan on the shoulder, Augustus picked up the bottle and touched him. After raising his head and taking a big gulp, the two looked at each other and laughed loudly.


    On Sunday, Roan and Augustus went to the hospital where Verinis was, and while visiting her, they helped her pack some things when she was discharged from the hospital.


    Early on Monday morning, Augustus was notified to go upstairs for a meeting.


    Five hours later, the most well-informed William was the first to get their FBI New York branch, the top leader of the [Crime, Network, Response and Service Department-Criminal Investigation Department], the special agent director Corbett, who was transferred to Washington. news from headquarters.


    And the person who took over the position of the special agent in charge is a woman named Vernis!


    The moment they heard the news, the various departments of the FBI New York branch suddenly became noisy.


    After all, the time now is 2005. Because there is no political correctness, there are not many female leaders in the federal government, let alone the FBI, which is completely led by men, and men occupy most of the law enforcement departments.


    The ordinary detectives at the bottom were very surprised by this, but some of the more well-informed leaders above understood the reason why Verinis was able to succeed.


    In addition to the fact that Verenice has thighs behind her, another important reason is that her No. 5 investigation team and the detective named Roan Greenwood in the No. 5 investigation team continued to solve the case. Pushed up.


    The No. 5 investigation team''s current detection rate is not 100%, and it is impossible to become 100% in the future.


    Because before Luo An was transferred here, the No. 5 investigation team took over several cases, but none of them were resolved, and finally had to be handed over to other investigation teams.


    So the detection rate of investigation team No. 5 at that time was 0%, and it was directly the last of the thirteen investigation teams.


    But since Luo An joined the No. 5 investigation team, the detection rate here has started to rise sharply, quickly approaching 100%.


    When Verinisi was successfully appointed as the head of the special agent, she finished her inaugural speech and began to announce new orders.


    One of them is to promote Detective Roan Greenwood to the deputy head of the No. 5 investigation team. All the leaders look at me and I look at you, and no one has any opinions or objections.


    Besides the reason why Verinisi''s new official took office three fires, another reason is that Roanne Greenwood deserves his name!


    Verinis''s two opponents were also a little emotional. If she didn''t have Roan Greenwood, or if Roan Greenwood was under her own hands, they might be able to replace Vernis as the special agent supervisor.


    After hearing the news from Augustus that Luo An was promoted to deputy team leader, all the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team were taken aback for a moment, and then applauded together.


    "marvelous!"


    "Congratulations! Roan!"


    "No, I will be called Deputy Team Leader Luo An in the future!"


    A group of agents laughed and cheered loudly, among them Mona had the most joy in her eyes, and Lacey applauded the most.


    While applauding, Ryder had some emotion on his face:


    "Luan became the deputy team leader at the age of 25, am I too old?"


    When the 35-year-old Lacey next to her heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she slapped Ryder''s arm hard.


    Although he was prepared in his heart, when the appointment was actually issued and the document was handed over to him by Augustus, Roan still couldn''t help showing a smile on his face.


    After all, after becoming the deputy team leader, his salary increased from 3000 to 4000!


    This is why he is happiest.


    After frolicking with the agents for a while, Luo An walked into the team leader''s office and asked:


    "Sir, Vernis has been promoted to be the head of the special agent, so who is our new team head?"


    Augus chuckled, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and replied:


    "It''s the former No. 2 investigation team leader, Huriel Horst."


    There are two reasons why Augustus was not promoted. The first is that the time he was transferred from another department to become the leader of the No. 5 investigation team was too short, and the second is that he was too old.


    Among them, being too old is the most important reason, even if Luo An quickly increased the detection rate of the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Hu Ruier is an old friend of mine. After the meeting just ended, I chatted with him for a while."


    Placing the coffee cup on the table, Augustus looked at Roan, laughed and said:


    "In the future, you can handle the case as you want. He will not interfere with the work of our No. 5 investigation team."


    On the surface, the No. 5 investigation team is under the jurisdiction of the newly promoted Huriel Horst team leader, but now no one knows that Roan Greenwood is from Verenice.


    And Hurriel Horst was able to be promoted to the team leader because of his qualifications for so many years, not because of someone behind him or other reasons.


    If there is no accident, until Hu Ruier retires, the highest position will only be the group supervisor, and he will not be promoted again.


    So when faced with a young talent like Luo An who became the deputy leader of the investigation team at the age of 25, and who was covered by Verinisi, who made it clear that he would continue to develop to the top in the future, Hu Ruier would not bow down to curry favor , but it will definitely not trip Luo An. Win-win cooperation is the kingly way.


    And judging from Hu Ruier''s many years of experience, Augustus''s team leader position is probably the next step that Verinis has prepared for Roan!


    Hearing what Augustus said, Roan immediately showed a smile on his face. After the two had a brief chat, Roan got up and left the office.


    After chatting casually with Mona and others, Roan left the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team and went to the office of the special agent supervisor, Vernis.


    When Roan arrived here, Vernis was sitting behind her desk, lowering her head to deal with the documents on the table that were twice as high as her head.


    Boom boom boom��


    "Enter."


    Verinis'' words were still short and to the point.


    Walking into the office and closing the door, Luo An chuckled:


    "Congratulations, sir."


    Looking up and seeing that it was Roan, Vernis slowly showed a smile on her expressionless face, and pointed to the sofa beside her:


    "sit."


    "Thank you, sir."


    Sitting on the sofa, Roan frowned, because Vernis not only got up and left the chair to walk to the sofa, but also poured him a cup of coffee with her own hands.


    "Thank you, sir."


    After taking the coffee, Roan took a sip, his eyes lit up, and it tasted better than the new coffee from investigation team No. 5.


    Seeing the light in Roan''s eyes, the corners of Vernis'' mouth slightly raised:


    "When you leave later, you can take some of the coffee beans here, they are of good quality."


    "Thank you, sir."


    Roan smiled and agreed, and Vernis looked at Roan with more and more satisfaction. After thinking about it, she handed Roan a folder.


    As Roan expected, it contained his grade promotion notice at the Columbus Foundation.


    "Wow."


    Roan smiled even more. Just as he was about to raise his head to speak, there was a sudden knock on the office door.


    Before Vernis, who was frowning slightly, could speak, the door of the office was opened, and the visitor said eagerly:


    "Sir, NYPD just called us and said they found the body of one of our senior FBI agents!"


    Hearing this, the faces of the two people in the office changed suddenly, and Vernis immediately stood up:


    "Who is this agent? What''s his name? Which department is he from?!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 210： [The former No. 5 investigation team female detective was shot dead

    Chapter 210 [The former No. 5 investigation team female detective was shot and killed]


    Office of the Special Agent in Charge.


    Hearing Vernis''s question, the female detective hesitated, and instead of answering immediately, she glanced at Roan.


    Seeing this, Verinisi said in a concentrated voice before Roan could speak:


    "It''s okay, just talk."


    "OK."


    The female agent walked into the office, closed the door and whispered:


    "That agent is Angelique Thompson, she is a senior agent of the Organized Crime Investigation Division, No. 2 investigation team."


    Roan frowned. Detective Norton came from the No. 1 investigation team of the Organized Crime Investigation Division, and when he was looking for Detective Norton, he seemed to have seen the victim by chance.


    The victim in my memory was a middle-aged white woman with freckles on her face, a flat figure, and a smile when she spoke.


    When Vernis heard this name, her expression turned extremely ugly.


    Roan was puzzled, and Vernis whispered in Roan''s ear:


    "Angelic Thompson, is the former senior agent of investigation team No. 5."


    "?!"


    Hearing that Angelique Thompson had such an identity, Roan''s pupils shrank.


    Could it be another revenge incident by the previous drug lord family, which family member who did not die?


    Seeing Vernis and Roan, you look at me, I look at you, they make eye contact but they just don��t speak. The corner of the female detective��s mouth twitched, and she hurriedly added:


    "Sir, this matter has been known by the news media in New York. There are a lot of reporters downstairs asking about this matter. Look..."


    ��Prepare for a press conference now.��


    Verinis didn''t hesitate. This was her first case as a special agent supervisor, and she had to get off to a good start, so after the female agent quickly left the office, Verinis immediately turned to look at Roan:


    "Roan, this case will be handed over to your No. 5 investigation team."


    "no problem."


    Roan guessed what Verinis was thinking, and it is no exaggeration to say that the No. 5 investigation team is the number one general under Verinis.


    Seeing Roan nodding his head in agreement, Vernis breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and then she added with a serious face:


    "Luo An, if you encounter difficulties during the investigation of the case, or if other departments fail to cooperate, please contact me immediately."


    Verinis is not particularly good at solving cases, but she will never stand idly by, let alone help Roan clear obstacles.


    Roan grinned when he heard the words:


    "Okay, sir."


    ����


    An hour later, investigation team No. 5, office area.


    "For the past fifteen years, Angelique Thompson has been an honored and respected member of our FBI family.


    To the FBI, and to those New Yorkers whom she helped, the loss of her is a devastating loss for us..."


    On the TV hung on the highest point in the front of the office area, the live broadcast of Verinis'' press conference was being played in real time.


    Augus and several team leaders all stood aside as background boards.


    "The feeling of familiarity is back."


    William sat on the chair, crossed his hands and stretched forward, and said with admiration:


    "Verenes always speaks off-script at press conferences, which is amazing."


    ��Forget about the press conference.��


    At the forefront of the office area, Luo An held a document and asked loudly:


    "How about it, have you found out about Angelique Thompson''s recent work?"


    "certainly."


    William looked away from the TV, tapped the keyboard a few times, and said:


    "The Organized Crime Investigation Section sent the relevant information just now.


    But unfortunately, we did not find anything suspicious in the recent work content. "


    Luo An, who had been looking down at the relevant files in the folder, raised his head and said:


    ��Then dig deep into the guys that Angelique Thompson sent to jail and are still breathing.


    Especially in some shooting drug cases, don��t forget, Angelique Thompson is a member of the former No. 5 investigation team! "


    "OK."


    Seeing William and the others begin to bow their heads and tap on the keyboard, Roan turned his gaze to Mona and said:


    "You look up Angelique Thompson''s financial situation, see if he owes anyone money, or someone owes him money.


    Take a closer look at his personal situation outside of work. "


    "no problem!"


    Mona nodded, and her ten fingers began to dance on the keyboard. At this moment, Lacey pushed open the door of the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team and said:


    "Angelic Thompson''s body has been transported back to the trace inspection department."


    Hearing this, Roan immediately threw away the folder in his hand and walked out of the No. 5 investigation team:


    "Go check the corpse now."


    ����


    Trace inspection department, autopsy room.


    "Angelic Thompson''s wallet, watch, cash, etc. are all there and have not been taken away.


    The cause of death was that she was shot five times in the chest, and the time of death was about eleven o''clock last night. "


    Forensic Morpu put his hands on his hips, pointed at the corpse on the mortuary table and said:


    "There was a very shallow burn mark on the chest, which means that the killer used the weapon very close to him."


    "That doesn''t look like a sudden robbery."


    Lacey frowned:


    "You mean, the murderer is very likely to be an acquaintance of Angelique?"


    Beside Roan leaned on his chin and analyzed:


    "Even if they are not acquaintances, Angelique is very likely to know the other party, and may even have the experience of talking with the other party."


    "That''s right."


    Forensic Morpu laughed and asked:


    "You are the deputy team leader Greenwood."


    "Just call me Roan."


    Roan stretched out his hand and shook hands with a smile. Forensic Morpu is in his fifties this year and has worked in the FBI for more than 30 years. He is a respectable senior.


    Forensic Morpu smiled and withdrew his hand. Such a young deputy team leader is very rare. He has worked in the FBI for so many years, and he has only seen one when he was young. Roan is the second he has seen.


    "The scene of the crime was in Lower Queens."


    Looking carefully at Roan up and down, the forensic doctor Morpu smacked his lips, feeling in his heart that the young man is awesome, turned around and took out a folder from the table, and said:


    "The crime scene was in Lower Queens, and the NYPD found no witnesses.


    And Angelique Thompson''s parking location is very remote, and we did not find the existence of surveillance. "


    "Fu-k."


    Lacey cursed in a low voice, but Roan thought of something and asked:


    "Is the ballistic trace compared?"


    "Compared, it is the most common 9mm M9 pistol."


    But Morpu''s forensic doctor said that there is no matching pistol in the FBI''s database, so they can''t know who the shooter is now.


    Roan nodded upon hearing the words:


    "He is really a cautious guy."


    At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise outside the autopsy room. Lacey listened carefully to the sound, her expression changed, she hurriedly opened the door and walked out, explaining at the same time:


    "It''s Angelique''s husband, and he''s also from the FBI."


    Roan hurried out following Lacey. At this time, a middle-aged white man who looked like a huge white lump was tearing up with a group of detectives from the trace inspection department, and at the same time shouted angrily:


    "@*��%#!


    Ler me get through! Angelique is my wife! I must see her! "


    "Hey! Hey! Tom, it''s me, Lacey!"


    Seeing this, Lacey immediately walked up to meet her, hurriedly grabbed her, and explained loudly at the same time:


    "I know you want to see Angelique very much, but we have to wait for the trace inspection department to finish processing the remains, okay?"


    "Lacey? Why are you here?"


    Seeing Lacey appearing here, Tom, who had been struggling violently, was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Lacey''s arm, with an eager expression on his face:

 Chapter 211： marilyn club

    Chapter 211 The Marilyn Club


    "Yes."


    Lacey nodded, and hurriedly withdrew her arm from the opponent''s hand with a tense expression.


    Tom was so strong that he almost crushed Lacey''s arm.


    "sorry Sorry."


    After reacting, Tom apologized again and again, and hurriedly let go of his hand.


    Roan also came over at this time, Tom saw his eyes lit up, and immediately broke away from the pull of the trace inspection team and rushed towards him.


    "!!"


    Seeing a huge white mass of flesh rushing towards him, Roan''s eyebrows jumped. Just as he was about to raise his hand to stop the opponent with all his strength, Tom suddenly braked to a stop, and then held Roan''s hand tightly, not letting go. It''s full of eagerness:


    "You are so handsome, you must be the deputy head of the No. 5 investigation team, Roan Greenwood, and I am Tom from the Criminal Justice Department.


    Please, I must find the murderer who killed my wife, I believe in you, you can definitely..."


    After the meeting this morning, most people in this building heard the news that Luo An, at the age of 25, had been promoted to deputy leader of the No. 5 investigation team.


    Many of them have never seen Luo An, and they don''t know what Luo An looks like.


    Those who met Luo An thought about it and said that he was the most handsome man in the No. 5 investigation team.


    Political correctness at this time has not penetrated into the FBI, and Tom, who is still aesthetically normal, of course recognized Roan behind Lacey at a glance.


    Hearing the name of the crime-solving expert in Tom''s mouth, Roan''s face twitched.


    Which guy gave him the nickname?


    Also, how good is the food at the Criminal Justice Department? Why are Augustus and this Tom so fat?


    "OK, Tom, just call me Roan."


    But now is not the time to talk about these things, he pulled Tom aside, and Roan asked with a serious face:


    "As Angelique''s husband, has Angelique received any threats recently?"


    "No."


    "Then when she went to work recently, was she nervous?"


    "No."


    Roan continued to ask a few questions, but Tom shook his head and said no, but explained at the end:


    "Angelic is currently investigating a Toy Wu club named "Marilyn" in Queens.


    She comes home very late every day, and always locks herself in the study to write, draw and record investigation information. "


    "The Marilyn Club"


    Hearing the name, Roan turned his gaze to Lacey, who nodded, and immediately took out a small notebook from the dimension pocket, and wrote down the name.


    Roan continued to ask:


    "Your information is very useful, Tom.


    But can you give us those documents that Angelique recorded? There may be important information about finding the murderer in it. "


    "no problem!"


    Hearing this, Tom nodded again and again, held Roan''s hand again and said a lot of requests to him to solve the case, and he would be grateful in the future. He only believed Roan and waited a lot of words, and immediately turned around and followed the trace inspection Branch agents went home together to retrieve the documents.


    Angelique''s body has not been completely processed, and it will be almost there when Tom comes back after taking the documents.


    Looking at the back of the white fleshy ball leaving quickly, Roan walked towards the elevator and said to Lacey:


    "Wait a while to investigate this Tom''s financial situation and work situation."


    "What?"


    Lacey in the elevator was slightly taken aback:


    "You think there''s something wrong with him?"


    Roan shook his head. Just now he carefully observed Tom''s movements and facial expressions when he spoke, and found nothing wrong.


    But the other party is the husband of the victim after all, and if one of the husband and wife is victimized and dies, the other party is under great suspicion.


    "OK."


    Lacey nodded. After returning to the No. 5 investigation team, she immediately led the technical detectives to check Tom''s itinerary information for the past few days.


    At the same time, after Mona took the paper that said "Marilyn Club", she also started to investigate quickly.


    Soon, Mona found out the relevant information of that club.


    "The owner of the club is Vikram Henry, 37 years old, who was sent to prison by our FBI for attacking others with weapons and carrying reading materials with him a few years ago."


    After typing the other party��s information on the computer, Mona introduced:


    "Henry was released from prison a year ago and opened this club. On the surface, the management of this club is all legal and there is no problem.


    But the Organized Crime Investigation Section suspects that Henry is building a gang, but no direct evidence has been found. "


    "Good."


    After listening to Mona''s narration, Roan continued to ask:


    "Where were Henry and his men at eleven o''clock last night? Is there any time and suspicion of committing the crime?"


    "At present, no."


    Mona put the information sent by the Organized Crime Investigation Section on the computer, and then called up a monitoring section, saying:


    "This is the surveillance video of the club''s gate. According to the video, Henry and his men haven''t come out at the latest."


    "Tom didn''t find any problems here."


    At this moment, Lacey also came over and said:


    "According to the investigation of several technical detectives, Tom''s financial situation is good. At eleven o''clock last night, Tom was forced to work overtime due to an emergency and had no time to commit crimes."


    "OK."


    After listening to Lacey and Mona''s description, Roan frowned slightly, then picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.


    After thinking about it, Roan asked:


    "What time does Angelique leave that club every day? Where does she leave from?"


    "She pretended to be a dancer in that club, and the off-duty time was two o''clock in the morning every day."


    Mona answered questions while quickly playing the surveillance footage from the previous few days.


    Roan next to him was also staring at the monitor. After a while, he suddenly discovered something, and suddenly said loudly:


    "Stop, Mona! Go back forty seconds!"


    Both Mona and Lacey were startled by Roan''s sudden shout, they gave Roan a hard look, and Mona slowly pulled back the monitor.


    "Back a little bit, a little bit further back..."


    After a while, the monitoring screen stopped. Roan pointed to a woman in colorful clothes, a man and a woman in the upper right corner of the computer, and asked:


    "This woman seems to be Angelique?"


    The picture on the monitor is not very clear, and Lacey can''t see it clearly either. Mona looked at it carefully for a moment, and her ten fingers began to dance quickly on the keyboard:


    "There is a store across from those stations, and the surveillance of that store can clearly see these three people!"


    After the voice fell, Mona called up the monitoring screen of the store, and the figures of Angelique, a man and a woman appeared on the computer screen immediately.


    "Gift Crab!"


    Seeing that one of the women was really Angelique, Lacey took a breath and looked at Roan with shocking eyes:


    "Mona Tune''s monitoring playback speed is so fast? How did you find out?"


    Roan chuckled and didn''t speak.


    One of the reasons is that he has good eyesight and is careful enough. In the past, he could find clues that others could not find in the surveillance.


    Another point is that Angelique''s body features are obvious. Roan didn''t mean to look down on or insult Angelique, but judging from the naked eye, Ryder is stronger than Angelique.


    The content in the video is very simple. On a certain night a few days ago, under the dim light, Angelique, who was dressed in colorful clothes, was hugging and chatting with a handsome white man on the corner of the street.


    Immediately afterwards, a tall woman with short hair suddenly rushed out from across the street with a face full of anger.

 Chapter 212： Hell Bliss Fall Low Version

    Chapter 212 Hell Bliss Fall - Low Profile Version


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    The monitoring screen on the computer is still going on, and William''s and other technical agents also came over.


    The moment he saw the angry short-haired woman, the man was visibly flustered. Angelique turned her back to the camera, and the three of them couldn''t see the expression on her face clearly.


    But as Angelique spoke, the anger on the short-haired woman''s face became more and more serious, and her right hand touched her lower back.


    Nothing was touched. The short-haired woman was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and slapped Angelique in the face, but the man hurriedly stopped her.


    The short-haired woman became even more angry. She slapped the man hard, kicked him in the crotch, spit on the man, and finally turned and left.


    "..."


    After watching the surveillance video, the entire No. 5 investigation team fell silent.


    Lacey scratched her head, trying to find a reason to explain something to Angelie who was pretending to be a dancer.


    But Angelique''s behavior with the man obviously surpassed the word "playing on the spot". If the short-haired woman hadn''t appeared, Angelique might have played games with that man on the street corner on the spot.


    "Ahem."


    There was a long silence, and finally Roan coughed lightly, attracting everyone''s attention, and said:


    "Angelic has worked in the FBI for more than ten years and is a respected member of our bureau, and her reputation is our reputation.


    Therefore, all the intelligence information we have obtained recently must not be leaked. "


    "learn!"


    "we know!"


    Reximona, William and the others nodded in unison.


    "Good."


    Roan was very satisfied, and then said:


    "So, everyone''s next goal is to find out the identity information of the man and woman in the video, as well as their current addresses!"


    "no problem!"


    After the voice fell, all the agents suddenly agreed.


    A moment later, Angelique''s husband Tom knocked on the door of the No. 5 investigation team''s office area with a few folders.


    Seeing this, Lacey had a strange look in her eyes, while Roan picked up a cup of coffee and bravely welcomed Tom into the lounge.


    "Hello, Deputy Team Leader Greenwood."


    Tom handed the folder in his hand to Roan, and then asked eagerly:


    "How about it, have you guys made any breakthroughs now?"


    "We did find some clues."


    "What clue? Is it the murderer who killed Angelique?"


    Tom hurriedly asked, seeing Roan shaking his head in silence, Tom quickly explained:


    "Sorry, my mind is in a mess right now, I just want an answer... I want to help, in any way, as long as you ask."


    "Sorry, Tom."


    Passed the coffee on the table to the other party, let him soothe his emotions, Roan said:


    "You are from the Department of Criminal Justice and you know that our procedures dictate that you have no access to this investigation."


    "OK, OK..."


    Hearing this, Tom sighed for a long time, then held Roan''s hand tightly again, begging Roan to catch the murderer who killed his wife.


    "Angelia is one of us, I will definitely catch the person who killed her."


    Roan nodded and agreed, and chatted for a while again. He sent Tom out of the No. 5 investigation team and asked Tom to wait at home in the near future. He will be notified as soon as there is any news.


    Seeing Tom leaving here in the elevator, Roan turned and returned to the No. 5 investigation team, asked two of the technical agents to continue investigating Tom, and then asked:


    "How is it? Did you find any information?"


    "certainly."


    William nodded and said:


    "Angelic''s bank card has a secondary card, on which there are several check-in information for a certain hotel.


    According to the surveillance video in that hotel, we found the man, named Tylenol, a second-line boxer.


    His girlfriend''s name is Aria, a former shooter. After comparing the photos, it is confirmed that she is the short-haired woman in the surveillance. "


    "Ex-shooter?"


    Roan was a little confused:


    "What do you mean? She retired?"


    "No."


    Mona next to ?? shook her head, tapped the keyboard a few times, and brought up several documents:


    ��Aria had conflicts with other contestants when he was young and participated in the competition. In the end, he used a weapon to attack the opponent and was imprisoned.


    Afterwards, the economic situation was too poor due to the loss of his athlete status. It didn''t take long for Aria to go to prison again for crimes such as theft, sales of reading materials, and illegal possession of weapons.


    She just got out of prison five months ago. "


    After describing the information in the computer, Mona hit her tongue:


    ��Affair is the most common motive for murder.��


    Lacey on the side nodded:


    "And Angelique''s wounds show that she had close communication with the murderer before her death."


    Roan was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly pulled Lacey into the equipment room, and said at the same time:


    "Ryder, you go get that boxer back now.


    Mona, where is Aria now? "


    ����


    Queens, a large gun store parts warehouse.


    When Roan and Lacey drove here, Aria was standing beside the car with two men who were loading and unloading large wooden boxes of guns, talking and laughing happily.


    Roan and Lacey got out of the car. Before they could speak, Aria, who saw the word "FBI" on them, shrank her pupils, kicked one of the men and the big wooden box down, and then turned and ran away. .


    "Fu-k!"


    Seeing this, Lacey got up and chased after him. Roan quickly observed the terrain, jumped over the man lying on the ground, and shouted while running:


    "You left and I right!"


    "OK!"


    After kicking down the wooden box, Aria turned around and ran quickly into the parts warehouse of the gun shop, opened the door and rushed in.


    Lacey responded to Roan''s order and quickly ran to another exit of the warehouse. Roan followed Aria''s back and also opened the warehouse door and broke in.


    The warehouse is very large, with flashing lights and full of large wooden boxes containing gun parts.


    Relying on his experience working here, Aria quickly shuttled through the small paths between the wooden boxes, while Roan, relying on his agility and quick reaction speed, quickly approached Aria through the gaps in the wooden boxes.


    "Shit!"


    Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Roan approaching him quickly with a smile on his face, Aria''s pupils trembled in cold sweat, and his right hand was about to touch his lower back, but another exit of the warehouse suddenly appeared in front of him, so he hurriedly opened the door and ran away go out.


    Aria''s figure disappeared, and the gate was still closed. Roan also ran out of the gate, and then saw Aria holding a pistol. After stopping a passing car, he was about to grab the driver and flee. .


    "Get out of here!"


    Aria opened the car door, and pulled the screaming female driver back eagerly.


    At this moment, Lacey also ran here. Seeing such a scene, she immediately raised her pistol and blocked the road ahead of the car, shouting:


    "Aria! Don''t move! Put down the weapon in your hand!"


    "Fu-k!"


    Hearing this and seeing the weapon in Lacey''s hand, Aria''s face became even more ugly, and she grabbed the female driver in a sudden brainstorm, planning to take her as a hostage.


    Before she could pull the female driver out of the driver''s seat, Aria suddenly felt her left hand being grabbed.


    Just as he was about to turn around, a terrifying force suddenly came from there, followed by a gentle man''s voice asking:


    "Have you heard of the low-profile version of Hell and Elysium?"


    "?"


    Aria was taken aback for a moment, but before she could figure out what the other person meant, she suddenly felt as if her feet had left the ground.

 Chapter 213： Cursing for 30 minutes is not the same

    Chapter 213 Swearing for thirty minutes without repetition


    Aria looked puzzled, and before she could answer, Roan grabbed Aria''s arm and threw her to the side forcefully.


    Boom!


    The next second, Aria hit the ground heavily, and the whole person was thrown in a mess. She didn''t even realize what happened at this moment.


    The female driver who saw this scene clearly stopped screaming instantly, and her small mouth opened into a cute O shape.


    "Good job!"


    Not far away, Lacey ran over quickly, and after admiring loudly, she hurriedly put away her pistol, took out a silver bracelet and handcuffed it behind Aria.


    "Damn...damn the FBI!"


    It wasn''t until Lacey pulled her up from the ground that she didn''t realize it. Aria, who felt pain in every part of her back, fixed her eyes on Roan, and cursed:


    ����%#*@��I want to sue you in court! Sue you for discriminating against women in the law enforcement process! Too harsh on female citizens! And����


    "..."


    Hearing what Aria said, Lacey rolled her beautiful eyes, and Roan smiled nonchalantly, shaking the pistol that Aria dropped to the ground:


    "Don''t worry, I will also sue you to the judge for intending to attack and harm FBI agents."


    "?!"


    For the time being, Aria, who just wanted to **** the car and escape, was in a bad mood when she heard this, but Lacey didn''t give her a chance to continue cursing, so she just stuffed her into the not far away SUV.


    Roan stuffed Aria''s pistol into the evidence bag, turned around and chatted with the female driver, and when he was sure she was not injured, he suddenly found a few extra sheets in his pocket with the phone number and family name of the female driver in front of him. address note.


    ����


    Investigation Team No. 5.


    ��@*#%��*����


    From the moment she entered the interrogation room, Aria sat on a chair and stared at the camera, frantically greeting Lacey and Roan who captured her.


    Even if Roan and Lacey hadn''t entered the interrogation room and started interrogating her.


    In the office area, Ryder also brought the boxer Taino into another interrogation room at this time.


    Lacey held a cup of coffee with surprise on her face:


    "Is she still swearing?"


    "Um."


    Mona at the door of the interrogation room nodded, her face full of admiration, and at the same time, her fingers were flying on the computer keyboard, quickly recording Aria''s cursing words.


    For more than 30 minutes, Aria did not repeat a few curse words. In a sense, this is also an incredible skill, and Mona thinks it is worth learning.


    Looking at this scene, Roan scratched his head. If Mona really learned it, once she quarrels...


    Lacey next to her also thought of this when she saw the expression on Roan''s face. She covered her mouth and smiled, then whispered next to Mona:


    "Give me a copy later."


    "OK."


    "��OK OK."


    Drinking the coffee in the cup in one gulp, Roan hurriedly stopped Mona from continuing to study, then pushed open the door of the interrogation room and led Lacey in.


    "@$��%#*!"


    Seeing Roan and Lacey, Aria''s scolding became even louder.


    "Tell me, Aria."


    Selectively shielding the swearing voices in the room, Roan asked with a serious face:


    "Why did you kill Angelique?"


    "Who is Angelie? I didn''t kill anyone!"


    Aria slammed on the table frantically and said angrily:


    "I did nothing wrong!"


    Lacey frowned:


    "Then why did you run away when you saw us?"


    Hearing this question, Aria froze slightly, and then said:


    "I''m still on parole, and also, maybe, remember I said maybe, I might have lost my parole certificates and papers."


    "..."


    Lacey was speechless for Aria''s words, but Roan continued:


    "Luckily, we are not interested in your things being stolen. We just want to know why you quarreled with Angelique a few days ago."


    Seeing the photo Roan handed over, Aria suddenly realized:


    "So it''s this cousin! What happened to her?"


    "Now I''m the one asking you the question."


    "Of course it''s because that woman seduced my boyfriend!"


    Aria said with disdain:


    "I''ve been with Tylenol for five months, we''ve been living together, and now he''s actually going to abandon me because of that woman?!"


    Roan nodded:


    "So you killed Angelique last night."


    "No! I said it, I didn''t kill anyone!"


    Aerea said aloud:


    "I was moving last night. The landlord and the moving company could prove it to me. I even persuaded them to send me a washing machine!"


    After a few minutes, William stopped typing on the keyboard and looked up at Roan:


    "The landlord and two moving company workers were with Aria from nine o''clock to twelve o''clock. Aria did have an alibi."


    Lacey frowned when she heard this:


    "What about ballistic detection?"


    "The report from the trace inspection department shows that the ballistic traces of Aria''s gun and the gun used by the murderer are completely inconsistent."


    "Fu-k"


    Lacey cursed in a low voice, then turned to look at Roan:


    "what to do?"


    "Contact the law enforcement officers in charge of Aria''s parole period and send her back to prison for further education."


    Roan stretched his waist, his face remained unchanged, and walked to another interrogation room:


    "Don''t forget, we also have Mr. Boxer."


    ����


    Interrogation room.


    "I saw the news that Angelique Ke was killed on the news. It wasn''t until this time that I realized that she was actually the FBI."


    Sitting on the chair, Taino had a complicated expression on his face:


    "You know how I felt? That feeling..."


    "Sorry, Mr. Tylenol."


    Lacey waved her hand, interrupted the other person, and said:


    "We''re not here to hear your thoughts.


    Excuse me, how long has the relationship between you two lasted? "


    "Three months."


    Tai Nuo was taken aback, with a wry smile on his face:


    "You have met my ex-girlfriend. When I first met, I didn''t find any problems with her, but after we actually started living together, conflicts broke out.


    Oh my god, you know what it''s like to have flies and mosquitos around your ears all the time? That''s really..."


    "OK, OK."


    Seeing that Tylenol was once again in the trend of long-winded speeches, Roan interrupted him hastily:


    "Where were you at eleven o''clock last night?"


    "What do you mean? Do you suspect that I killed Angelique?"


    Tai Nuo was taken aback, but seeing the cold look in Roan''s eyes, he quickly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and replied:


    "I was participating in a training camp at the time. You only know that I am just a second-line boxer and I need to train all the time."


    "Good."


    Seeing Lacey record the other party''s words in the notebook, Roan asked again:


    "Now that you know that Angelique is the FBI, can you recall any time she behaved wrong in recent days? Or did you say something strange?"


    "There is one thing."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Taino nodded, saying that he had been thinking about it since he knew the news of Angelique''s death:


    "When Angelique and I were playing games in the car the night before, she seemed to see something in the car, and she hurriedly put on her clothes and was about to run.


    I hurriedly grabbed her to ask about the situation, and Angelique answered me: her friend a gardener was killed, and she just saw the suspected murderer. "


    Lacey frowned:


    "Garden friend?"


    "Exactly."


    Taino shrugged:


    "Strange, isn''t it?"


    Leaving the interrogation room, Lacey threw the folder away and asked:


    "William, have you checked Angelique''s relationship before her death, did you find out that she has any gardener friends?"


    "No."


    William and others shook their heads again and again, saying that they hadn''t found it at all.


    Thinking that Angelique has been working in the Organized Crime Investigation Section, a place that often needs to deal with undercover agents, Roan leaned on his chin and said:


    "This "gardener", could it be someone''s code name?"

 Chapter 214： Black Mamba 7 and the identity of the murderer

    Chapter 214 Black Mamba-7 and the identity of the murderer


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    Hearing Roan''s guess, William and the others were slightly taken aback.


    Lacey, who also thought about Angelique''s work content, nodded. Just as she was about to say something, Mona next to her suddenly slapped her:


    "I remembered something!"


    Everyone hurriedly turned their attention to Mona.


    "It''s like this. When Roan asked me to investigate Angelique''s financial situation, I found that she often went to a church in Queens for the past seven months, but Angelique did not believe in God."


    Mona moved her ten fingers quickly on the keyboard, and quickly called up a message on the computer screen:


    "Five days ago, a murder case suddenly occurred in the church. The deceased was a gardener working in the church. He was also shot in the chest.


    And in the following time, Angelique used the FBI internal network many times to inquire about the follow-up of this ordinary murder case. "


    Seeing the information on the computer, the corner of Lacey''s mouth twitched:


    "Is "gardener" really just a gardener?"


    "Now it seems that this is not an ordinary murder case."


    Roan ignored Lacey and asked directly:


    "What weapon did the murderer use to kill the gardener?"


    "According to the bullets left at the scene, it is a pistol."


    Mona shrugged, saying that NYPD is still handling the case on the scene, visiting the monitoring stage and conducting autopsy stage, and the ballistic detection report has not yet been made.


    "Lacey!"


    Roan straightened up, turned around and said seriously:


    "You go to the NYPD to deal with ballistic detection now."


    "no problem!"


    Lacey nodded in agreement, and immediately turned and left the No. 5 investigation team.


    "I''m afraid it will take a long time for Lacey."


    Seeing Lacey''s back slowly disappear, Roan turned his gaze back again and said:


    "Assuming that the murderer who killed the gardener and Angelique is the same person, is there any connection between the gardener and Angelique?"


    Mona shook her head:


    ��The two of them live in the east of New York and the other in the west of New York, without any social or work intersection.��


    Ryder next to him picked up the testimony of Aria and Taino and shook:


    "Is it possible that the gardener is Angelique whom I met in the club?"


    "Angelic only recently went to the club, but she and the gardener obviously knew each other seven months ago."


    Hearing what Ryder said, Roan shook his head, and then continued to ask:


    "Has Angelique dealt with any cases seven months ago?"


    "have!"


    As soon as Luo An finished speaking, William in the distance suddenly kept his head fixed on the computer in front of him and said loudly:


    "Nine months ago, Angelique participated in the investigation of a large-scale anti-criminal organization as an undercover agent, and successfully destroyed a large-scale criminal organization, [Black Mamba-7]"


    Hearing the weird name of this organization, Roan showed doubts, and Ryder''s face suddenly became serious:


    "I know this Black Mamba, which is a large-scale criminal organization integrating a lot of illegal and criminal activities such as cults, gangs, trafficking, and drugs.


    They have their own branches in major federal cities. When I was not transferred to the No. 5 investigation team, they were one of the giant conch suppliers in the New York underground world. "


    "Completely correct."


    William nodded and continued:


    "According to the data, on Wednesday next week, the New York court will officially start the trial and litigation of the 141 persons involved in [Black Mamba-7].


    Angelie can be a participant in the case and needs to testify in court at that time. "


    Roan took a sip of coffee, understood, and guessed:


    "The gardener is probably an eyewitness."


    "The guess is very accurate!"


    William nodded and said:


    "The gardener used to work in customs, and I saw with my own eyes that a guy who was bribed helped the Black Mamba-7 deliver reading materials.


    So in court next Wednesday, he will also testify in court. "


    "Nice job, William!"


    Patted William on the shoulder vigorously, Roan said immediately:


    "Immediately contact the relevant person in charge of this case and ask them to provide protective supervision of everyone involved in this case!"


    "OK!"


    William picked up the phone on the table and started to contact others, Roan turned around and patted Ryder on the shoulder:


    "Come with me."


    "Um?"


    Ryder was taken aback for a moment, but hurriedly got up to follow:


    "where are we going?"


    "Go downstairs, Organized Crime Bureau."


    ����


    "Hi, I''m Ig."


    Organized Crime Investigation Division No. 2 investigation team, in the team leader''s office, a middle-aged white man with black and white hair reached out and shook Roan''s hand, and said with emotion:


    "I didn''t expect the deputy team leader Greenwood to be so young."


    "Just call me Roan."


    Roan chuckled, exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party, sat on the chair with Ryder without any nonsense, and directly explained his intention of coming.


    "You mean, Angelique could have been killed by the [Black Mamba-7] group?"


    The smile on Team Leader Yige��s face quickly disappeared:


    "Damn, I should have thought of that!"


    "Sorry, Team Leader Ig."


    Roan briefly comforted the other party, and continued to ask:


    "Can you explain the situation of this organization?"


    "certainly."


    Taking a deep breath, Ige quickly adjusted his emotions, and while rummaging through the documents on the table, he said:


    "I am very saddened by the death of Angelique, one of the best agents I had.


    Black Mamba-7 is well-organized, ruthless, and operates the organization in a way of brainwashing by companies and cults. It took Angelie more than a year to successfully break into the organization. "


    Roan frowned. It seems that this organization is quite troublesome. After thinking about it, he continued to ask:


    "You are planning to prosecute a total of 141 people involved in the case this time. Which one of them do you think is most suspected of killing Angelique and Gardener?"


    "Neither of them have it, but the other one has it."


    Ige managed to find a black folder among a large pile of documents, opened it and placed it on the table. Inside was a middle-aged white man with a cropped cut and scars at the corners of his eyes. He didn''t look easy to mess with.


    Before Yige could introduce him, Ryder next to him narrowed his eyes and said:


    "So it was him! Early Lewis!"


    Roan turned around and asked after hearing the words, Ryder did not hide it, and explained:


    "When I was on a mission in SWAT, this guy injured six of my teammates!"


    "You''re right."


    Yig nodded, his face also very ugly:


    "This guy has climbed to the position of the head of the New York area within the Black Mamba-7 organization in recent years. These are all in exchange for his killer skills. If the court really starts to open, although he has not been arrested now, But he also has a high probability of being sent to prison.


    Besides him, no one inside the Black Mamba-7 organization is powerful enough to kill an FBI agent. "


    Hearing that the other party was a professional killer, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly:


    "9mm bullets, M9 pistol, 3-5 shots in a row, like this Early Lewis style?"


    Iger slammed the folder shut:


    "It couldn''t be more like it!"


    The two left the Organized Crime Investigation Section. As soon as Roan handed Early-Lewis information to William and the others, the cell phone in his pocket rang.


    "It''s me, Lacey."


    Lacey on the other end of the phone didn''t talk nonsense, and said directly:


    "The ballistic test report came out, the pistol that killed Gardener is the same pistol that killed Angelique!"


    "Good job!"


    Hanging up the phone, Roan asked directly:


    "Guys, does anyone know where Early Lewis is now?"

 Chapter 215： Disposable Cell Phones and Coney Island

    Chapter 215 Disposable cell phones and Coney Island


    Brooklyn, Midtown.


    Because of Early Lewis'' killer experience and strength, Roan, Ryder, Lacey, and Mona all participated in this operation.


    Two teams of heavily armed SWAT players surrounded the three-story apartment in front of them, one behind the other.


    Roanne and Mona stood at the front door, Ryder and Lacey at the back door.


    One of the SWAT team members held a plastic bomb, carefully pasted it on the front door, and then stretched the thread while slowly retreating behind the SWAT teammate who was standing at the front with a bulletproof shield.


    Seeing the ready gesture of the SWAT team members, Roan immediately said to the communicator:


    "start to act!"


    Boom!


    After the voice fell, the SWAT team immediately pressed the explosion button, and the front door of the apartment was instantly blown into pieces, and the SWAT team members with bulletproof shields rushed in immediately.


    The SWAT team at the back door also broke into the apartment immediately.


    "FBI!"


    "Early Lewis! We''re the FBI!"


    The four of Roan were fully armed and followed SWAT quickly into the apartment.


    The apartment is very large, in addition to the first, second and third floors, there is also a basement.


    "Go to the basement!"


    "Upstairs! Upstairs!"


    "First team, speed! Speed!"


    Roan held a Glock 18 and quickly checked the living room and kitchen on the first floor. He frowned slightly when he saw the dishwasher still in operation, and then asked the communicator:


    "What did you find?"


    "Nothing."


    Ryder''s answer came from the communicator, he went to the basement:


    "There''s nothing here, I''ve looked all over at a glance!"


    Followed by Mona''s reply:


    "There is nothing on the top and third floors! Safe!"


    "No one in the front hall, safe!"


    "The bedroom on the second floor is empty, safe!"


    Hearing these words, Roan frowned, and also pressed the communicator:


    "The living room and kitchen are empty and safe."


    "Fu-k!"


    Walking out of the cloakroom, Lacey''s face was ugly:


    "The house is empty, and Early Lewis is afraid he has escaped."


    Mona came down the stairs and said:


    "I checked the bedroom and there is no sign that he packed his bags."


    Ryder on the side shook his phone and asked:


    "Do you want to contact the airport, train station and other places to issue a wanted arrest for Early Lewis?"


    "Publish it."


    Roan nodded, then frowned, picked out a red and white box from the kitchen trash, handed it to Mona, and asked:


    "Is this a box for a disposable phone?"


    Most of the mobile phones on the federal market are bundled with the operator''s service, so the buyer''s personal information will also be registered in the operator''s database, which is equivalent to the real-name system implemented by a certain eastern country.


    The disposable mobile phone is a non-contract model, or a contract-free short-term service bundled model, which is mainly provided for tourists or other temporary mobile phone users to purchase and use.


    Because there is no service contract, or only a short-term contract of more than one month, the management of the personal data of the buyer is not so strict, and there is not so much room for tricks.


    Anyway, according to the internal data of the FBI, the bulk of disposable mobile phone sales is not at all the so-called killers or local gangsters, but the lawless and indifferent CIA.


    "Um?"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Lacey and Ledziqi looked up at the box in Roan''s hand.


    "It''s really a disposable phone!"


    Mona''s eyes lit up, and she slapped Roan''s arm hard:


    "Really careful!"


    Roan chuckled, handed the box to Mona, and asked:


    "How about it, can you use this box to find each other?"


    "certainly!"


    Mona ran back to the SUV, took out a laptop from inside, and said with a smile:


    "There is the electronic serial number of this disposable mobile phone on the packaging box, give me three minutes, I can definitely find the other party!"


    "But"


    Lacey leaned over to the computer and said in a low voice:


    "If Early Lewis left after killing someone last night, this time is enough for him to leave the Federation... Do we have to go on a business trip next?"


    "No, Early Lewis didn''t go very long."


    Hearing this, Roan shook his head. Seeing the puzzled eyes of Lacey and Ryder, he walked to the dishwasher next to him and said:


    "This dishwasher was artificially set to run for thirty-five minutes. When I entered the kitchen just now, it had just finished running."


    "What?"


    Lacey looked at the dishwasher, and then at Roan, with a look of astonishment on his face. He was on the phone, and Ryder, who was inconvenient to speak, also gave him a thumbs up.


    "Roan is right!"


    Ryder hung up the phone and walked to Roan. Just as he was about to speak, Mona next to him stopped typing on the keyboard and said:


    "I sent a test packet to that phone, and it replied back to me itself.


    According to the location, Early Lewis is now in... Coney Island, south of Brooklyn! "


    Coney Island, also known as Coney Island, is an island. Its beach facing the Atlantic Ocean is a well-known leisure and entertainment area in the federal government. .


    "Fu-k!"


    Hearing that Early Lewis actually went to the place with a lot of children, Lacey''s expression changed drastically, and Ryder''s face instantly became black.


    "SWAT members, let''s go to Coney Island immediately!"


    Luo An''s heart skipped a beat, but as a commander, he must not panic, so Luo An''s expression remained unchanged, and he said with a serious face:


    "Mona, you immediately contact NYPD to block this apartment, and at the same time locate Early Lewis, and provide remote support at all times!


    Ryder, Lacy, you''re coming with me to Coney Island! "


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    As soon as the words fell, the two teams of SWAT members rushed out of the apartment and returned to the troop carrier. Ryder ran to an SUV, and Roan and Lacey walked quickly into another SUV.


    Put the accelerator to the bottom, and the SUV quickly drove onto the road to Coney Island.


    Lacey fastened her seat belt and was just about to speak when she saw Roan driving and took out her cell phone to call Vernis.


    Time to ask your thighs for help.


    "Sir, it''s me, Roan."


    "What''s wrong?"


    Verinis on the other end of the phone put down her pen and asked in a concentrated voice:


    "What''s the problem?"


    Roan briefly described the current situation, and then said:


    "If Early Lewis shoots in there ... it could have some really bad repercussions."


    After listening to Roan''s narration on the phone, Vernis frowned and felt a headache.


    But now is not the time to talk about these things, Vernis got up and left her seat, and said as she walked out of the office:


    "I will send more SWAT teams to support and blockade that area later, and I will do my best to prevent the New York media from entering, but you also need to minimize possible hostage or team casualties.


    If you are really not sure, please send me a message immediately, and I will send other people in to direct this operation, understand? "


    In the eyes of Verinisi at this time, Roan is the most important thing. She doesn''t want Roan to have some problems because of this action, which will cause him to be depressed in the future.


    "I see, thank you sir."


    Luo An chuckled, this is the advantage of having a thigh hug, not only can it provide help, but even prepare yourself for the back road.


    On the co-pilot, Lacey sighed after hearing what Verenice said on the phone. She had never met such a good officer before.


    But after thinking about it, Lacey is also very happy. After all, Roan is her teammate. As long as there are no accidents, the more benefits Roan gets, the more soup she can share.


    Suddenly, Lacey''s cell phone rang, and the call was from Mona, with a very urgent tone:


    "Roan! The NYPD received a call thirty seconds ago that there was a shootout at Coney Island!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 216： someone staring at earlys ass

    Chapter 216 Someone Staring at Early''s Ass


    The black SUV is driving fast on the road.


    "Just now, there was a shootout on Coney Island!"


    Mona on the phone is very anxious:


    "The person who called the police was a retired NYPD who was relaxing and playing with his children. He said that there were two people who shot."


    "Sonof than eat!"


    Lacey''s complexion instantly turned black, and she asked:


    "Was Early Lewis the one who shot? What the **** is going on?"


    "Sorry, I don''t know either!"


    Mona on the other end of the phone said that the caller did not say that she was trying to get the surveillance cameras in the amusement facilities in Coney Island.


    Turning the steering wheel, stepping on the accelerator to the bottom, under the astonished eyes of Ryder and the SWAT action team, Roan Blade overtook them and left them far behind.


    "If you guessed right,"


    Driving the SUV through the traffic on the road at low speed, Roan frowned and thought about it, and said:


    "It should be that the mastermind behind the scenes sent someone to kill Early Lewis to silence him."


    "What?"


    Lacey and Mona were slightly taken aback when they heard the words, but after thinking about it, this seemed to be the most reasonable guess.


    But Lacey still has some doubts:


    "Isn''t Early Lewis the person in charge and leader of [Black Mamba-7] in the New York area?"


    "You also said, it''s the New York area."


    Roan''s complexion remained unchanged:


    "The Organized Crime Investigation Section is preparing to prosecute a total of 141 people involved in the New York branch of the Black Mamba-7 organization.


    In this case, Early Lewis'' position must have been unstable long ago. "


    The internal rules of most gang organizations in the Federation are very simple:


    Those who can go up, those who are defeated go down.


    The position of the person in charge of the New York region is full of luxuries and high status... There must be many people who have been staring at Early Lewis'' ass, waiting for the critical moment to kill the millennium.


    Lacey nodded suddenly, and Mona on the phone said again:


    "Roan, the shootout over there has just ended, how long will it take you to get to Coney Island?"


    "It''s here!"


    "What?"


    As soon as Mona''s voice fell, Roan stepped on the brakes and parked the SUV to the side of the road, then pressed the communicator and said loudly:


    "Ryder and all SWAT members, once you arrive at Coney Island, immediately block all exits in this area!"


    "clear!"


    "knew!"


    "very good."


    Seeing the frantically fleeing families not far away, Roan grabbed a guy in a staff uniform, asked the direction of the gunshots, and immediately rushed over with Lacey.


    "Lacey, you are left and you are right! Always be vigilant!"


    "no problem!"


    Following the guidance of the staff just now, Roan and Lacey quickly walked to the place where the shootout happened just now.


    One place is not considered remote, it is located in the middle of a small forest, and there is a merry-go-round amusement facility with a sign under maintenance.


    At this time, the sign being repaired has fallen to the ground. Lacey carefully inspected the grass not far away, while Roan was holding a Glock 18 and approached slowly in a vigilant posture, and found that there were two bullets pierced on it. hole.


    Carefully inspecting the surrounding scene, Roan suddenly saw a small bloodstain and a few bullet casings on the chair next to him for resting. He frowned slightly and immediately moved quickly in the direction of the bloodstain on the ground.


    "Lacey, come with me!"


    "OK!"


    Didn''t go far, the blood stains came to a square house that resembled a power distribution room.


    Lacey also saw the blood on the ground at this time. While frowning, Roan wrinkled his nose slightly. After sniffing carefully, he immediately smelled a stronger smell of blood.


    Waving his hands, Lacey and Roan leaned on both sides of the door, looking at each other. Roan kicked the door open with a Glock 18 in his hand.


    The two walked slowly into the power distribution room, and a black male corpse leaning against the wall with his eyes wide open appeared in front of them.


    Seeing the corpse, Lacey''s eyebrows trembled:


    "It''s not Early Lewis."


    Bending down to briefly check around the black man''s body, Roan found that in addition to the pistol held by the black man, there were two 9mm bullets that did not belong to this pistol, but M9 pistols.


    "It''s not Early Lewis."


    Roan nodded, got up and said:


    "He should be the killer who was sent to kill Early."


    But Earle Lewis, who relied on his killer skills, was obviously stronger than the black man in front of him. Not only did he see through this guy''s purpose, but he also killed the guy who killed him.


    Roan licked his lips, his heart beat slightly higher.


    is an interesting guy.


    After receiving the M9 pistol 9mm bullet that Roan handed over, Lacey pursed her lips, her face was very ugly:


    "It''s not too far from the exits that leave Coney Island. Early Lewis may have escaped here."


    "No, he just left here."


    Roan shook his head. The blood on the ground has not yet solidified, the wound on the chest of the corpse is still bleeding, and there is still a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air at the door of the house. These all indicate that Earle just left Not long here.


    Lacey wrinkled her nose and sniffed carefully, but she didn''t smell gunpowder smoke. Her brows were slightly frowned, and she didn''t quite believe Roan''s analysis.


    Now that the situation is urgent, Roan is too lazy to explain. He walked out of the power distribution room quickly. He carefully observed the terrain here, and found out that there are two paths suitable for the killer to escape.


    Frowning slightly, Roan suddenly thought of the [Tracking Potion] prescribed by the system before. Before Lacey came out of the house, he immediately took it out, opened it, and poured it into his mouth.


    Holding the M9 bullet he just picked up from the ground in his hand, a light blue figure suddenly appeared in front of Roan''s eyes, clutching his arms and running quickly to the path on the left.


    Roan grinned when he saw this, stepped on the ground with his right foot, and rushed out towards the left path as fast as a cannonball, and shouted loudly at the same time:


    "Lacey! Contact the SWAT operation team and focus on blocking the two exits on the northeast side of Coney Island!"


    "What? Why?"


    Lacey, who was examining the corpse in the room, was puzzled when she heard this, and hurried out of the room to inquire, only to find that Roan had completely disappeared.


    "Damn it, Roan is getting faster and faster!"


    Lacey''s eyelids twitched. Although she still doubted Roan''s judgment, she hurriedly pressed the communicator:


    "SWAT Action Team! I''m Lacey!"


    On the other side, Roan, who was fully armed, followed the light blue figure, and rushed to a small square on the northeast side of Coney Island at an extremely fast speed under the astonished eyes of passers-by.


    Mona in the distance saw Roan through surveillance, and hurriedly asked:


    "Roan, what did you find?"


    Roan didn''t answer. At this time, there are four SWAT team members blocking the exit, carefully checking every passerby who wants to leave here.


    At this moment, the effect of the potion slowly disappeared, and the light blue figure began to disappear slowly.


    Roan doesn''t care either. Clothes can be changed, and costumes can be disguised, but the wound on the arm can''t be healed in a short time.


    Walking quickly through the crowd in the square with a serious face, a SWAT team member saw the deputy team leader Luo An and walked over quickly.


    Just as the SWAT team was about to speak, Roan''s nose moved slightly, his left hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and he slammed a father who was holding a little boy in his arms beside the SWAT team.


    Mona, who was checking the surveillance camera, shrank her pupils and hurriedly covered her mouth when she saw this.


    Feeling the sound of the wind coming from their ears, the SWAT team members were stunned and hurriedly prepared to speak.


    When seeing that Luo An''s target was actually a passer-by''s father, several passers-by in the square suddenly widened their eyes and were about to shout.


    Before everyone could say anything, the passer-by''s father looked very ugly, and suddenly blocked the head of the child in his arms in front of Luo An''s fist.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 217： The Existence Problem of a Killer and a Stepdaughter

    Chapter 217 The existence of the killer and the stepdaughter


    The man moved very quickly, and several passers-by didn''t react, and still raised their high notes.


    Mona and the SWAT team members, who had seen the man''s movements clearly, gasped and instantly understood the man''s true identity.


    Immediately afterwards, the two of them became afraid, because on the only way for Luo An''s fist to pass, the head of the little boy was the first to bear the brunt!


    Early Lewis, who was pretending to be his father, had a cold light in his eyes.


    Although he didn''t know how Roan found him, but with the child in his arms as a cover, even if he was discovered now, he was sure to escape from here.


    And there was a pistol in his arms, Early Lewis smiled slightly, and was going to take out the pistol and put it on the child''s forehead after Roan stopped.


    The next second, a gunshot rang out suddenly.


    boom!


    Early was taken aback for a moment, it seems that I haven''t fired yet?


    Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden sharp pain in his thigh, and it was only then that Early realized:


    No! I got shot!


    Just as various thoughts were running in Early''s mind, Roan''s left hand went around the little boy''s head and hit Early **** the face.


    At the same time, taking advantage of the shot in the thigh of the opponent, Roan stretched out the right hand that had just been shot, and snatched the child from Early''s arms.


    It was Roan who fired the shot. The fist in his left hand was a false move. He just smelled the blood on the man''s body, but he couldn''t be sure if the man was Early.


    But the action of the opponent holding the child to block the fist clearly proved that Luo An''s judgment was correct, so Luo Anguo disconnected the gun and hit the opponent''s thigh.


    A series of actions took place in just a moment. Before the screaming passers-by in the square could react, the little boy was already in Roan''s hands.


    Then the little boy who also didn''t react, his face was full of horror, was thrown by Roan to the stunned SWAT team members.


    Mona in the distance let out a long breath when she saw this, and her uneasy mood fell back, with a smile on her face:


    "I knew that Roan was prepared for everything!"


    Speaking of this, Mona was slightly taken aback.


    Wait, if that''s the case, the night before Roanne teased her with toys...


    the other side.


    "Fu-k!"


    Early, who fell to the ground because he was shot in the thigh and was punched by Roan in the face, saw that the child in his arms was also snatched away. When he cursed, his face was very ugly, and his right hand immediately stretched into his arms Ready to draw a pistol to attack Roan.


    Roan, who had seen Early''s movements clearly, didn''t give him a chance at all. As soon as Early was about to raise his right hand, Roan bent down to hold it, and stepped on the sole of his foot.


    "ah-"


    Amidst the other party''s screams, Roan clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it **** the other party''s face. At the same time, he took out the handcuffs and said with a serious face:


    "Sorry to inform you, Mr. Early-Lewis, that you have been arrested for killing an FBI agent and two other federal citizens!"


    Early didn''t answer, because Roan''s punch just now was too heavy, and he had completely passed out.


    Early''s only thought before he fainted was that the handsome FBI in front of him didn''t talk about martial arts and attacked him secretly...


    Roan didn''t know what the other party was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn''t care.


    Everyone is a killer, and what a killer does is sneak attack, right?


    Seeing that Roan put the handcuffs firmly on Early''s hand, and took out the weapon in the opponent''s arms and put it away, all the passers-by looked at each other for a second, applauded and cheered loudly.


    "so amazing!"


    "Excellent! Mr. Agent!"


    "You are a hero!"


    "Mom, that detective is so handsome, can you ask for his contact information?"


    "..."


    SWAT next to him also applauded wildly and looked at Roan with admiration.


    How can someone be the deputy leader of the No. 5 investigation team at such a young age? This observation, this reaction speed, and this skill are all second to none.


    The little boy who was rescued also came up, hugged Roan''s thigh, and said loudly with longing on his face:


    "Uncle Agent, thank you! Can you tell me your name? I want to be an FBI in the future!"


    "...Please call me Brother Detective, thank you."


    The corner of Roan''s mouth twitched, this was the reason why he didn''t like children.


    After comforting the little boy with a smile on his face, Roan handed Early to four SWAT team members, took a few photos with a few passers-by who forcibly approached him, and then hurriedly called Vernis phone.


    "Sir, it''s me, Roan."


    "I know."


    Verinis on the other end of the phone is sitting in the office with her legs crossed and her face serious, but her heart is very nervous:


    "How is the operation going, are there any casualties?"


    "The operation was a complete success, sir."


    Hearing the words on the other end of the phone, the corners of Verinisi''s mouth slightly raised. Before she could speak, Roan continued:


    "But one person died."


    "Um?"


    Verinis'' heart hung up again, and the corners of her raised mouth froze slightly:


    "who is it?"


    "Relax, sir."


    Hearing Vernis'' tone on the phone full of nervousness, Roan chuckled and said:


    "Not a passerby, not a SWAT member, just the killer who came to kill Early Lewis."


    "snort!"


    Verinis in the office snorted lightly, but she didn''t know that Roan had made a joke with her, so they had a brief chat and hung up the phone without complimenting Roan.


    But after hanging up the phone, a beautiful smile appeared on Verinisi''s face:


    "You did a great job, you really are the best detective in the 14 investigation teams of the Criminal Investigation Department!"


    On the other side, Roan, who was very happy, didn''t care. He turned off his phone and walked towards the direction of the SWAT team members.


    Lacey also came over with two SWAT members and the black killer''s body at this time.


    Seeing Roan, Lacey raised her eyebrows, raised her right hand and gave a thumbs up:


    "Topnotch! (Master, absolutely top-notch


    Lacey originally wanted to ask Roan how he judged that Early was escaping in this direction, but just now Mona talked about the first time Roan was looking for veterans in the woods through the communicator.


    After listening, Lacey also put this question behind her, and replaced it with another question when driving back to the Jacobs Federal Building:


    "Roan, tell me, why do we always meet killers in several cases? Why are there so many killers in this world?"


    "Forehead��"


    Hearing this question, the former killer Roan, who was resting on the co-pilot, scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.


    In the concept of his previous life, since the birth of human beings, the two professions of stepdaughter and killer have emerged as the times require, and they are firmly bound to human beings.


    The former takes money to accept the blows of others, while the latter takes the money to run to blow others.


    The rules are fixed and unchanged from ancient times, and are expected to last until the extinction of human beings.


    ����


    Two hours later, the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    "Early is still undergoing surgery in the hospital, and Ryder won''t be able to take him to the interrogation room for a while."


    Roan took a bite of the small hamburger, muttered and asked loudly:


    "How about it, have you found out who the killer who was counter-killed by Early is?"


    "Francisco Ford, nicknamed Black Bat."


    William nodded and showed Roan the black killer''s information:


    "It is a well-known killer who has emerged from the underground world in the past two years, and the mission completion rate is very high."


    "It''s a pity that our Mister "Batman" task completion rate will end today."


    After finishing the small hamburger in two or three bites, Roan continued to ask:


    "So, find out who sent Francisco to kill Early?"


    "No."


    William shook his head, but Mona next to her raised her hand and said:


    "I found some things, but they were encrypted by the Federal Department of Homeland Security. Do you want me to try to break into a wave?"


    Roan: "?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 218： The truth of the case and the trial

    Chapter 218 Case Truth and Interrogation


    According to the investigation, Mona discovered that before the killer Francisco Ford went to kill Early Lewis, there was a sudden extra sum of money in a certain bank account, and a call was received on his mobile phone. phone.


    The other party also used a disposable mobile phone, but according to the electronic serial number on it, Mona still found out the address of the other party when calling.


    But later on, it will involve the blockade of documents from the Federal Department of Homeland Security, and Mona can''t continue the investigation.


    "How about it, Roan."


    Mona has not yet hacked into the internal network of the Federal Department of Homeland Security. At this moment, she is eager to try, with excitement written all over her face:


    "Trust me, I can definitely get relevant information without disturbing the Department of Homeland Security!"


    Roan: "..."


    Mona''s proposal failed in the end, because Vernis walked into the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    Hearing that there was something about the Federal Department of Homeland Security, Vernis didn''t hesitate, and immediately took out her cell phone and made a call.


    More than half an hour later, a bearded middle-aged white man in a suit walked in with several folders in his arms.


    "introduce."


    Verinis stood at the front of the office area, and introduced to everyone with a cold face:


    "This is Lyndon Jones, the head of a department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the Federal Department of Homeland Security."


    "Hello, Mr. Lyndon!"


    "Hi there."


    Roan greeted Linden with the agents of the No. 5 investigation team. Linden waved his hand and extended his hand to Roan with a smile:


    "You are the deputy team leader Greenwood, you are so young!"


    Looking at the handsome Roan, Linden was deeply moved.


    Linden''s son is about the same age as Roan, but he still has nothing to do in society. Linden has to help him wipe his **** every once in a while, which is a headache to think about.


    Looking at Luo An, who became the deputy team leader at a young age, and the frighteningly high detection rate of the No. 5 investigation team... Lin Deng decided that he must talk to his son later.


    "Just call me Roan."


    Luo An chuckled, stretched out his hand and shook the other party, but he didn''t know that a young man would be beaten up because of him in a few days.


    Seeing the envious look in Linden''s eyes, Verniss kept the expression on her face unchanged in order to maintain her majesty, but she was very proud in her heart. At the same time, she glanced at Roan calmly and flatteredly.


    The two sides exchanged a few simple greetings. Linden didn''t talk nonsense, and distributed the folders to everyone, explaining:


    "This guy''s name is Bevan Hyman."


    In the folder is a middle-aged white man in a suit with a smile on his face.


    Bevan Heyman, the owner of a large building materials company in New York, has reported an annual operating income of around 30 million US dollars in recent years.


    Seeing the contents in the folder, Lacey frowned and guessed:


    "Sir Linden means that this Bevan Heyman is actually a [Black Mamba-7] person?"


    "No, it shouldn''t be."


    Roan shook his head and pointed to the equity ownership structure chart of the building materials company in the folder:


    ��A building materials company, with shares in S-corporations, limited liability companies, limited partners, and offshore partners in Panama and the Cayman Islands�� This is obviously the organizational structure of a money laundering company!��


    "That''s right!"


    After listening to Luo An''s analysis, Lin Deng smashed his tongue and took a deep look at Luo An. He deserves to be the deputy team leader at the age of 25.


    Sighing again deep in his heart, Linden continued:


    "Bevan Heyman has a close relationship with [Black Mamba-7] headquarters. The building material company under it is not only suspected of helping the criminal organization to launder money, but also because the company''s raw materials are produced in Brazil and located in South America, so the building material company is also suspected of helping Illegal immigration smuggling and human trafficking."


    The business content of Black Mamba-7 also includes human trafficking, and even human organ trafficking.


    At this moment, William suddenly raised his hand, saying that after computer investigation, several of their technical agents found that before Angelique and the gardener died, Early received Bevan Heyman''s phone call. contacting via phone.


    Roan frowned, turned around and began to write and draw on the whiteboard. The real situation of this case has surfaced.


    One of the hallmarks of the federal criminal organization is that "everybody does somebody''s job."


    Bevan Heyman didn''t want to leave a loophole in his years of business, so after ordering Early, the lone leader of the New York branch, to kill Angelique, he sent someone to kill Early Lewis to silence him. Close the investigation of this case.


    "But"


    After reading Roan''s case analysis on the whiteboard in front of the office area, Lacey frowned slightly:


    "We only have one phone number to the killer Francisco Ford right now.


    We''re not going to be able to take Bevan Heyman down on that alone. He has a way of paying a lawyer to argue that it wasn''t him who called, but his secretary or someone else. "


    Verinis'' face changed slightly, and she turned her gaze to Lyndon Jones beside her.


    "Feel sorry."


    Linden shrugged and closed the folder in his hand:


    "Our Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau has not yet found direct evidence that can confirm Bevin Heyman''s death."


    Otherwise, the Department of Homeland Security would have already done something to Bevan Heyman.


    Hearing this, Vernis'' face suddenly sank.


    Could it be that this case will be forced to end as soon as it is found here?


    Although their No. 5 investigation team has caught the murderer who killed Angelique at this time, they are still very unwilling.


    "Don''t worry, sir."


    Seeing that the faces of everyone present were not very good-looking, Roan chuckled, poured two cups of coffee and handed them to Linden and Vernis respectively, and said with a smile:


    "Don''t forget, we still have Early Lewis.


    Early, who was born as a killer, must always be vigilant and keep his hole cards, otherwise he would not be able to counter-kill Francisco.


    Early, who is used to keeping cards, has sat as the head of the New York branch for so long, and there is a high probability that he will have something we need in his hand. "


    After listening to Luo An''s words, the eyes of all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team lit up, and the corners of Vernis''s mouth slightly raised, her forehead was satisfied. Team leader Lin Deng smacked his lips... decided to have a good chat with his son tonight.


    Linden��s son: ������


    ����


    The next day, investigation team No. 5, interrogation room.


    Early-Louis was handcuffed tightly on the interrogation table at this time, and there were several white bandages wrapped around the position where the thigh was shot.


    Roan and Lacey were in charge of the interrogation, while Verenice, Linden, Augustus, Mona and Ryder sat in the monitoring room next door.


    Before entering the interrogation room, Roan whispered in Lacey''s ear:


    "So so, so so, OK?"


    "Forehead��"


    After listening to Roan''s words, Lacey had a series of question marks on her head, but she still nodded and agreed.


    Because Roan successfully arrested Early on Coney Island before, even if Roan said he was a woman, Lacey would not doubt it and would just nod.


    Roan: "..."


    "Good morning, Mr. Lewis."


    Walking into the interrogation room, Roan took a sip of coffee, smiled lightly and said:


    "It seems that you are recovering well."


    "Shameful sneak raider!"


    Looking at Roan, who opened his eyes and told nonsense, and shot and wounded himself, Early''s face was pale, and the constant pain from the muzzle of the gun on his thigh made him very angry, so he asked loudly:


    "What do you want to do?"


    "Relax, Mr. Louis, it''s just a necessary procedure."


    Ignoring the big hat the other party put on him, Luo An chuckled and said:


    "In addition, I also want to chat with you, for example, imagine with you the daily scenes of your life in prison for the rest of your life."


    Early''s mouth twitched, and he became even more angry.

 Chapter 219： Interrogation Routine and Fudge Success

    Chapter 219 Interrogation Routine and Fudge Success


    Seeing the scene in the monitoring room, Team Leader Lin Deng frowned, and said in a low voice:


    "Mr. Verinisi, isn''t the interrogation method of deputy team leader Luo An inappropriate?"


    At this time, shouldn''t Xiaozhi negotiate terms with Early with emotion and reason, and let Early tell clues about Bevan-Hyman?


    Verinis glanced at Linden, folded her arms around her chest, and said softly:


    "I trust Deputy Team Leader Luo An."


    "..."


    Linden''s eyelids twitched, you believe it but I don''t!


    But seeing that the faces of several people in the monitoring room were all normal, Linden took a deep breath and decided to continue watching.


    Interrogation room.


    "Fu-kYou!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Early felt that his lungs were about to explode, and he couldn''t stretch anymore.


    boom!


    But just as he opened his mouth to curse, Roan suddenly slammed the table down, and said loudly with a gloomy face:


    "What right do you have to be angry!


    You killed an FBI agent! She is like our real sister!


    Do you know what that means? "


    The loud noise from Roan''s sudden slapping on the table startled Early. Just as he was about to answer the question he heard, Roan approached Early and said in an unusually cold voice:


    "This means that your life in prison will be extremely happy. When you encounter difficulties, both prison guards and prisoners will help you free of charge."


    "Sonof than eat!"


    Early turned his head slowly, gritted his teeth and asked:


    "Are you threatening me?"


    "No."


    Roan shook his head, the coldness on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a smile as warm as the sun:


    "Didn''t I just say that, I just wanted to help you imagine your life in prison for the rest of your life.


    After all, you are the man behind the organized and planned killing of our FBI agents, how could we not provide you with some help? "


    "The man behind the scenes?"


    Hearing this word, and thinking that he was going to go to prison to enjoy his life as a pawn, and the real culprit who sent people to kill him behind the scenes was not only unscathed, but might even continue to send people to kill him after he entered the prison, Early sat down instantly. Can''t stop:


    "What do you mean? Do you think I am the main messenger of this incident?"


    Roan spread his hands:


    "Otherwise? You are the one who kills, and you are the one who has sufficient motives. Who is it if you are not?"


    "Fu-k!"


    Early slammed the table down and shouted angrily:


    "It''s not me who is behind the scenes, I was just ordered! The person who actually gave the order is..."


    Having said this, Early froze suddenly, and his words stopped abruptly.


    In the monitoring room, seeing Early who was sitting back on the chair during the interrogation and looking at Roan in surprise, Team Leader Linden was in such ups and downs that he almost couldn''t catch his breath.


    The faces of Verinis, Augustus and the others changed slightly, while Mona clasped her hands together, staring at the picture in front of her, praying silently for Roan from the bottom of her heart.


    Lacey''s heart skipped a beat in the interrogation room.


    But before the interrogation started, Roan had already guessed that this might happen, so he told Lacey in advance, don''t panic when encountering this situation, just keep your head down and write without speaking.


    So Lacey silently lamented that Roan was so good at planning things, and at the same time continued to bow her head and write without any other actions.


    Roan himself didn''t panic at all. He looked at the time on his watch and even took a sip of coffee:


    "If you don''t admit it in this situation, you still want to frame other people?


    You know, lying to the FBI is not a good idea, is it? "


    "Shit!"


    Seeing Lacey who had no other movements or expressions, and Roan who was calm and disdainful in his eyes, Early cursed in a low voice, but he began to be puzzled.


    Early suspects that the FBI has actually learned that the real man behind the scenes is not him, he is just a pawn, and today''s interrogation is actually just to find evidence through him.


    But doubts are doubts, Early found that he could not find any evidence, and no one told him whether the FBI had found the killer and the real identity of the killer.


    Besides, the female detective sitting in front of her didn��t care and just kept her head down to write. The male detective who arrested her was always checking the time besides using words to anger herself.


    Seeing the expressions on Early''s face flickering and turning on and off, Roan''s expression remained unchanged, but he nodded inwardly. He had already guessed what Early was thinking.


    But Early can''t help it, because he is actually the weak side in the current situation, after all, he is the one who went to jail.


    Even if Luo An and the others fail to catch the real culprit behind the scenes, they won��t suffer too much loss afterwards, and Early himself may be killed by the mastermind behind the scenes��


    And if Team Leader Lin Deng''s method is really used, Xiaozhi negotiates conditions with Early with emotion and reason, who knows what outrageous conditions the other party will raise when he finds out that he has become a strong party.


    Roan is not used to being passive, no matter when.


    Sipped the coffee, Roan taunted Early again, then drank the coffee in one gulp when Early''s face turned purple from anger, got up and clapped his hands, saying:


    "Come on, Lacey, the process is over, it''s time to send Early to prison to await trial."


    "OK."


    Lacey nodded and got up to leave the interrogation room.


    But just as she was about to leave, Early suddenly shouted:


    "Wait a minute, I have a clue!"


    Roan ignored him at all, and strode out of the interrogation room.


    Lacey followed the words Roan gave her before, pretending to be slightly stunned. After a few seconds of silence, she glanced at the corridor outside the interrogation room, then turned around slowly, and asked in a low voice:


    "what do you want to say?"


    Seeing Lacey''s actions, Early subconsciously assigned her the role of an agent who was bullied by Roan on a daily basis, sighed, and then said in a concentrated voice:


    "I''m just a killer, I''m really not behind the scenes, I have evidence!"


    In the monitoring room, Vernis, Augustus, Ryder, Mona and others saw Roan push open the door and walked in. They all got up and applauded for him with a smile:


    "Good job!"


    "Roan, you are amazing!"


    "It''s so handsome!"


    Leader Lin Deng also stood up and applauded Roan.


    At this time, he has completely understood what Roan is doing, which is nothing more than a combination of a good face and a bad face + the method of betting against the opponent.


    But the perfect combination of these two methods... It can only be said that the person who became the deputy team leader at the age of 25 is indeed a brush.


    Thinking of this, and thinking of his son who had achieved nothing and had a loud fight with himself last night, and refused to admit defeat no matter what, Team Leader Lin Deng''s face instantly became gloomy.


    Use the belt tonight!


    Linden��s son: ������


    Roan smiled and waved his hands to express his modesty, then turned his gaze to the monitor on the side.


    In the interrogation room, Lacey kept urging Early to speak quickly, focusing on the key points, and his tone was a bit impatient, but Early didn''t care. He quickly finished talking about the location where the evidence was hidden, and when Lacey left, he waved his hands again and again to show that grateful:


    "Ms. Agent, you have worked hard, thank you so much!"


    "..." x6


    Hearing this, Lacey almost tripped herself when she closed the door. Several people in the monitoring room had extremely complicated and strange expressions on their faces, and then applauded Roan again.


    When Lacey walked into the monitoring room, everyone laughed again, and then found that the evidence Early said was hidden in a certain bank, which was a note and ledger.


    Verinis said in a deep voice when she saw this:


    "Ryder, go get the evidence back immediately."


    "no problem!"


    Seeing the back of Ryder leaving the No. 5 investigation team quickly, Vernis nodded in satisfaction, then took Roan''s arm, and walked quickly into the conference room not far away.


    Roan: "???"


    Mona: "!!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 220： Luo An: Look at me, look at me, I have something to announce!

    Chapter 220 Roan: Look at me, look at me, I have something to announce!


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    At this time, Ryder went to the bank to collect evidence, while Lacey, William and others sat in chairs to sort out the details of the case.


    Mona, who was sitting at her desk, looked like she was sitting in a chair and sorting out documents. In fact, she had been paying close attention to the conference room not far away.


    During the period, Lacey encountered a problem and wanted to ask Mona for help, but seeing the expression on Mona''s face and a few signature pens that were accidentally folded in half by Mona on the ground, the corners of Lacey''s mouth twitched, and finally she chose to turn around Go find William.


    Roan didn''t know the scene outside the meeting room. He was looking at the items that Verenice handed him.


    Being dragged into the conference room just now, Vernis first praised Roan a few words, then she took out a business card and an invitation letter from her pocket and handed them to Roan.


    The style of business cards and invitations is very simple, and the color is also unremarkable earth gray.


    But the person who handed it to him was Vernis after all, so the dusty gray business card and invitation letter instantly gave Roan a low-key, luxurious and connotative feeling.


    Roan frowned and asked:


    "Sir, this is?"


    "This is a party invitation."


    Verinis opened the invitation, and the location inside was a well-known hotel in Manhattan, New York. She explained:


    "The time is this Saturday, and most of the leaders of the various departments of the FBI''s New York branch will participate."


    Luo An was promoted to the deputy leader of the No. 5 investigation team at this time, and he also stepped into this threshold with one foot.


    In addition to Roan''s excellent performance during this period, and Verinisi''s spare no effort to recommend, so the person in charge of the party also sent this invitation letter to Roan.


    "Thank you, sir."


    Roan suddenly realized, it seems that Vernis started to help him expand his network.


    "Good."


    Wait until Roan put away the business card and invitation letter, Verniss began to turn the topic to the case where the detective was killed.


    Knowing that there were some problems in Angelique''s private life, but after being locked by Roan, Vernis nodded with satisfaction, and said that after the case was completely resolved, she would personally explain the situation to Angelique''s husband Tom.


    "Thank you, sir."


    Roan said a few words with a smile. As a man, he really didn''t want to talk to Tom about this kind of thing.


    Not long after, Ryder returned to the No. 5 investigation team with a few notebooks, which not only contained the transaction records of Early and Bevan Heyman, but even hidden in the mezzanine of one of the notes was a secret photo of Early. chat video.


    "Nice job, Ryder!"


    After watching the content of the video, Vernis and Team Leader Linden smiled, and Augustus waved his hand directly:


    "Agents, set off immediately and bring Bevan Heyman to our No. 5 investigation team for a guest chat!"


    "no problem!"


    After the voice fell, the agents of the No. 5 investigation team suddenly agreed. Roan, Ryder, Mona, and Lacey walked into the equipment room quickly, and William and other agents ran back to their seats to take charge of remote support.


    The process of arresting Bevan Heyman was very smooth. After arriving at the construction company, Roan casually sent Bevan Heyman to No. investigation team.


    Then, with physical evidence, that is, video + notes, human witnesses, and Early willing to testify in court, Bevin Heyman was sent to the prison awaiting trial by the No. 5 investigation team before he could react.


    Bevin-Hyman hurriedly started to spend a lot of money to hire lawyers, but the Federal Department of Homeland Security will not give you help, but they are very good at making troubles.


    Finally, there was a chance to put Bevan Heyman in prison. The Federal Department of Homeland Security immediately mobilized its agents to search for evidence before Bevan Heyman''s men and the company could react. Vin Heyman kicked perfectly into jail.


    During the period, the IRS group also jumped out to get a share of the pie. With the existence of the IRS group of vampires, Bevan Heyman completely ended the chance of struggling.


    However, these latter things have nothing to do with Roan. After the interrogation was over and Bevan Heyman was sent to prison, Roan stood at the front of the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, raised his hand and shouted:


    "Everyone! Look at me, look at me! I have something to announce!"


    "???"


    A group of agents looked up in doubt, Roan put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly, and said with a smile:


    "I was promoted to be the deputy team leader. Tonight I will treat you to dinner. You choose the place!"


    It is an old tradition within the FBI to treat guests with a promotion. It��s just that a new case happened the day after Luo An��s promotion and appointment notice came out, so the dinner treat was forced to be postponed to today.


    After Luo An��s voice fell, all the detectives who remembered this incident suddenly realized, and then they all stood up straight and cheered:


    "Thank you, deputy team leader Luo An!"


    "Good offer!"


    "I absolutely agree!"


    "I agree too! I just haven''t had lunch at noon!"


    "Me too!"


    All the technical agents cheered, Augustus also patted his belly, and said with a smile:


    "We just solved the [Female Agent Murder Case] ??under the leadership of Luo An. Today is indeed a good day, and we should have a good drink!"


    Ryder raised his hand with a big grin:


    "I know a great barbecue place in Manhattan, how about going there tonight?"


    Before Roan had time to speak, Lacey and Mona shook their heads and refused loudly:


    "NO! No kebab shop!"


    Everyone just attended a barbecue party at Ryder''s house last weekend. The two women, Mona and Lacey, really don''t want to eat barbecue anymore in the short term.


    Ryder''s face froze slightly, and then spread his hands:


    "Then what do you say to eat?"


    Mona: "Seafood!"


    Lacey: "French food!"


    Other agents: ������


    Seeing the sparks in the eyes of Mona and Lacey, the air in the office area was quiet for a few seconds, and then suddenly the pot exploded because of what to eat at night.


    Roan himself smiled and sat back on his chair, taking a sip of coffee calmly.


    He still has hundreds of thousands of dollars in his pocket, just a meal, a small problem.


    A moment later, after intense discussions, the agents finally chose a restaurant not far from the Jacobs Federal Building.


    This restaurant not only serves barbecue, seafood, and French cuisine, but also other specialties. The agents used to go there often, and it belongs to the restaurant that FBI agents often go to for parties.


    And the price is not very expensive, the detectives are still very considerate of Luo An''s wallet.


    That night, after get off work.


    "Cheers!"


    "cheers!"


    "Respect Luo An, deputy team leader!"


    "Thanks."


    Roan smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank it down.


    Augus put down his glass and wiped his mouth, and patted Roan''s arm vigorously:


    "To be honest, Roan, recruiting you to the No. 5 investigation team is the most **** correct thing I have done in these years!"


    After leaving the Jacob Federal Building, Augustus would often pop out some not-so-clean tone words.


    Roan didn''t care, picked up the bottle and filled Augustus and himself, and replied with a smile:


    "Joining investigation team No. 5 is also the most correct choice I have made."


    This is what Luo An said in his heart. Except for No. 5 investigation team, the leaders of the other 13 investigation teams may not necessarily give him such great authority when solving the case.


    And the detectives in the team may not be as cooperative as the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team, and the atmosphere may not be as good. In addition to solving the case, they may also have to intrigue every day.


    "Hahaha��"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Augustus smiled even more. After drinking the wine in the glass again, he got up and joined Ryder, without eating a bite of food, and directly invited Roan to pick up the bottle and blow at each other.


    Roan: "..."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 221： The biological gap between men and women and after-the-fact gains

    Chapter 221 The physiological gap between men and women and afterward gains


    The atmosphere of the No. 5 investigation team dinner that night was very lively, which attracted the attention of many other FBI agents who came here for dinner.


    However, due to the atmosphere and habits of the Federation, no one came up to toast for no reason. Several agents from other departments just came up to greet Roan and Augustus after the dinner of the No. 5 investigation team. .


    At this time, Luo An, the 25-year-old deputy team leader, had a not-so-great reputation in the Jacob Federal Building.


    Luo socialized with the visitors for a while with a smile on his face, and then took a taxi to send all the agents back to their respective homes.


    Which does not include Lacy.


    When everyone was eating together, Lacey hooked up with a waitress in a restaurant. After everyone finished eating, Lacey led the waitress to take a step ahead with a smile on her face.


    Roan and Mona took a taxi back to her small apartment, because of the alcohol, Mona was extra indulgent tonight.


    At two o''clock in the morning, Mona finally fell asleep, while Roan clutched his waist and walked into the bathroom slowly.


    "Thanks to the blessings of stamina potions and toys, otherwise...


    Damn it, what the **** is God thinking in the West? Why is there such a big difference in the physiology of men and women? "


    At this time, Luo An finally had a deeper understanding of the old saying about the old cow and the field in the east.


    Breathing out a long breath, Roan opened the system page in his mind while washing and muttering in a low voice.


    The light blue system rated Roan as [excellent] for the past two days. After a rough opening animation of the treasure chest, eight bottles of medicine appeared.


    Among them [Physical Potion x3]


    ��Swift potion x3��


    ��Analgesic Potion x1��


    ��Sleep Potion x1��


    After the animation was played, Roan did not hesitate, and immediately took out a bottle of stamina potion and drank it.


    The next second, when his physical strength and energy were fully restored, Luo An looked at the sleeping body on the big bed, his eyes filled with disdain again.


    "Hmph, it''s just a Mona, I''m really overwhelmed!"


    system:"��"


    ����


    The next morning, No. 5 investigation team.


    At the workstations, Ryder, William and other technical agents were busy with their heads down, but because of yesterday''s party, they were not very energetic.


    While Lacey was busy working, she was distracted, and sometimes she didn''t know what to think of, and she covered her mouth and smiled shyly.


    Mona next to her was busy with her work, her eyelids were constantly kowtowing, and her limbs were weak and accompanied by occasional convulsions.


    Roan sat on a chair, sipping coffee and circling in circles, occasionally tapping the keyboard for a while, crazily greeting a certain member of the forum.


    Augustus: "��"


    Seeing the state of the agents in the office area, Augustus was speechless, with his hands on his hips, and was about to say something loudly when a sense of sleepiness suddenly came to his mind, and he subconsciously covered his mouth and yawned.


    Roan who saw this scene:


    (�``�`)


    "Ahem."


    Seeing the expression on Roan''s face, Augustus coughed twice in embarrassment, and then said loudly:


    "Roan, come to my office!"


    "Okay, sir."


    In the team leader''s office, Augustus handed over a document as usual, and Roan opened it with a smile as usual.


    No surprises, as usual, in the folder is a copy of the No. 5 investigation team''s bonus for solving the case this week, as well as a proof that Roan''s bonus has doubled.


    However, one difference is that because the deceased in this case was an FBI internal agent, the case was relatively serious and serious, so the bonus issued by the above was more than before, from $1,500 to $2,000.


    This also means that Roan''s doubled bonus has changed from $3,000 to $4,000.


    Thinking of this, the smile on Roan''s face became brighter:


    "Thank you sir!"


    Augus waved his hand and didn''t say much. After picking up the coffee on the table and taking a sip, he handed Roan a folder again, and said:


    "This is a follow-up to that IRS case."


    "IRS?"


    Roan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized when he opened the folder. It turned out that what Augustus was talking about was the [Chief Financial Officer Kidnapping Case]


    As I said before, the internal work of the IRS pursues high turnover and high efficiency.


    What is the truth about the case? unimportant.


    Was the suspect wronged? unimportant.


    Their goal is only one, and that is to open and close the case as quickly as possible, and then get the tax to collect the money.


    So after learning the details of the previous money laundering case, the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Section (IRS-CI) directly sent people to arrest Juan Alberto Canas.


    After throwing Juan into prison, the Criminal Investigation Section of the Internal Revenue Service began to search for relevant evidence, and in just two weeks, it figured out more than 90% of the accounts that the other party had concealed over the years, and finally successfully confiscated them. Juan money, and sent him to prison.


    Therefore, in the second document that Augustus handed to Roan, in addition to the reward issued for the case and the doubled reward certificate, there is also the 320,000 reward for solving the case transferred by the IRS, and it belongs to the fifth investigation. The group''s 550,000 activity funds.


    However, the difference in the past is that the two sums of money were directly deducted from taxes.


    Roan smashed his tongue: "As expected of the IRS."


    and Augustus continued to chat for a while, seeing Augustus yawning, Roan got up and left the team leader''s office.


    Backing to his workstation, Roan simply calculated his gains during this period.


    After the [Chief Financial Officer Kidnapping Case] ??ended, he received a double bonus of $3,000 and a reward of $320,000 from the IRS for solving the case


    [Case of Member and Student Arson] also doubled the bonus to 3,000 US dollars, and the bonus after [Murder of the former No. 5 female detective] was 4,000 US dollars, so the gains during this period add up to exactly 330,000 US dollars.


    Adding the remaining US$150,000 after buying Microsoft stock, Roan now has another US$480,000 in his pocket.


    Wednesday was spent in such a muddle-headed way, and so was Thursday and Friday, and Saturday came in the blink of an eye.


    Saturday afternoon.


    Opened his eyes and kissed Mona, Roan, who had spent a whole day with Mona, got up from the big bed, and slowly walked into the bathroom to resolve internal conflicts and wash up.


    While washing up, Roan reviewed his recent life.


    As far as work is concerned, except for the period when he first joined the No. 5 investigation team, he has generally "worked three times and rested four times" in recent weeks.


    That is, two or three days a week to solve the case, and four or five days to rest, and to go online to greet the family members of some people in the forum.


    Fishing every day cannot be said to be aboveboard, but it can also be said to be aboveboard.


    Not to mention the money, the car was given by someone else, the apartment was bought at a cheap price, and Luo An himself didn''t have much to spend.


    In terms of physical and emotional aspects, Lydia was with her in front of her, and after Lydia was sent away by him, there was Lacey... He helped introduce beautiful girls to him several times, and finally forged a deep friendship with Mona.


    Spit out the toothpaste in his mouth, Roan looked at himself in the mirror and his mouth curled up.


    Moreover, he was promoted to deputy team leader, and his salary has also increased a lot!


    After washing up, Roan changed into a suit for the party, walked into the bedroom and patted Mona gently:


    "I go first."


    Mona, who was sore, didn''t answer, and turned around to continue sleeping without opening her eyes. It seemed that she should be able to sleep until the next day.


    Leaving Mona''s house, Roan first drove to Verinisi''s apartment to pick up someone, and then went to the party with Vernisi, who was wearing a lady''s suit and light makeup.

 Chapter 222： Bush and Kennedy at the Banquet

    Chapter 222 Bush and Kennedy at the Banquet


    In the evening, Midtown Manhattan, Hilton Hotel.


    In addition to the internal gathering of the leaders of the FBI and other departments tonight, according to Verinisi, there is also a charity auction led by major local newspapers in New York in a certain place on the hotel''s upper level.


    So celebrities and celebrities flocked here tonight, and all kinds of luxury cars abounded. Roan''s Chevrolet was unremarkable.


    Tonight Roan wore a slim black suit and a dark bow tie. His hair was meticulously combed. He looked very capable and handsome.


    Verinis was wearing a gray lady''s suit, her short hair was neatly combed behind her head, a pair of platinum earrings with black gemstones hung down, and the waist of the suit was high, making her thighs very slender and slender.


    Combined with the light makeup on the face, the charm that a mature woman would possess rushed over her face, making the paparazzi of the entertainment group at the entrance of the hotel brighten up when they saw Verinisi.


    Although she didn''t know which star Vernis was, the flash turned the front of the Hilton Hotel into daylight.


    Ignoring the paparazzi, she stretched out her hand to hold Roan, who wanted to keep a certain distance from her. Vernis directly held Roan''s arm, and strode into the hotel gate with her head slightly raised.


    There were already many people in the banquet hall at this time. As soon as Vernis and Roan walked in, some former special agent director Corbett of the Mediterranean came over.


    Accompanied by him was a Caucasian woman in her forties, wearing a blue dress, long brown hair, and full of aura.


    "introduce!"


    Picking up a glass of wine from the waiter on the side, Corbett introduced with a smile:


    "Let me introduce the newcomer who participated in the party for the first time, Roan Greenwood, the deputy leader of the No. 5 investigation team!"


    Immediately after, Corbett pointed to the woman beside him:


    "This is Dorothy Bush, Special Agent Director of the FBI Homeland Security Division."


    "Hi sir, it''s an honor to meet you."


    Roan raised his wine glass and shook it, with a smile on his face, but his heart moved slightly.


    The federal president in 2005 was a certain Bush, and the woman in front of me was also surnamed Bush...


    Dorothy smiled, stretched out her hand and shook Roan:


    "Greenwood''s deputy team leader, he has known his name for a long time, and finally saw him today."


    Luo An was slightly taken aback, not because of the other party''s words, but because when the woman in front of him was speaking, her little finger ticked Luo An''s palm calmly.


    Roan: "..."


    Before Roan could speak, Vernis who was on the side suddenly picked up the wine glass and stopped between the two of them, saying with a blank face:


    "Long time no see, Dorothy."


    "Long time no see, Winnie."


    Seeing Vernis'' actions, Dorothy let go of her hand as if nothing had happened, then smiled and picked up the wine glass and touched Vernis.


    When the two looked up to drink, Roan clearly saw Dorothy winking at him.


    Regarding the actions of the woman surnamed Bush, Roan pretended not to see anything, and calmly looked away and chatted with Corbett.


    Caubert was able to be promoted to the Washington headquarters so quickly, and Roan''s performance in recent days played a big role.


    So the two had a brief chat, and Corbett reciprocated, greeted Vernis, and then personally took Roan around the party and introduced Roan to the heads of various departments participating in the banquet.


    Among them were not only the team leaders of other departments, but also the special agent directors of other departments, and even Corbett took Roan to the deputy director of the FBI New York branch.


    "Hello, sir, this is our newly promoted Roan Greenwood deputy team leader."


    "Hello, Greenwood."


    Seeing Roan introduced by Corbett, the deputy director''s eyes lit up, and he reached out and patted Roan on the shoulder vigorously:


    "I know you, you''ve been doing really well lately!"


    Luo Jian pretended to be a young man when he was praised by a boss:


    "Thank you, sir, for your compliment."


    "You''re welcome!"


    The deputy chief waved his hand, expressing that he had always heard from others that Chief Luo An was handsome, but seeing him today, Luo An was even more handsome than he imagined.


    Before Roan could speak, the deputy team leader smiled and introduced to him the identity of the middle-aged white man who was talking to him just now:


    "This is Deputy Secretary Trick Kennedy of the Insider Threat Office at the FBI''s Washington headquarters."


    Kennedy!


    Hearing this surname, Luo An''s heart moved slightly, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he smiled:


    "Hi sir, it''s an honor to meet you."


    "Hello."


    Trick Kennedy smiled and clinked glasses with Roan. After a brief chat, he found that Roan''s posture was neither humble nor overbearing, and his words were advanced and retreated. He immediately became interested, so he asked:


    "Corbert said that since you joined the No. 5 investigation team, you have solved many cases. Can you talk briefly?"


    Roan turned to look at the deputy director.


    The deputy director nodded with a smile.


    The boss��s bosses all spoke up, and Trick Kennedy was also an insider of the FBI, so Roan picked out a few cases that had been completely closed and described them vividly.


    Seeing that the deputy director and Trick Kennedy were all immersed in the story Roan explained, nodding and laughing occasionally, and patting Roan on the shoulder from time to time, Dorothy''s eyes not far away suddenly narrowed. Then he asked in a low voice:


    "Winnie, how far have you and this Greenwood developed?"


    "Please call me Vernis, thank you."


    Verinis took a sip from her glass and said:


    "Roan Greenwood and I are just a simple subordinate relationship."


    "Tsk tsk tsk."


    Hearing this, Dorothy turned her head and said with a low laugh:


    "Greenwood is so handsome and capable, and you just watch him like this? Aren''t you afraid that he will be tricked by other female officers?"


    Verinis'' expression remained unchanged, but she simply replied:


    "He''s mine."


    Dorothy is very capable at work, and she is more open to play in private, especially likes young handsome guys.


    But such a trivial matter is not even considered a scumbag in the federal political arena, and Dorothy can distinguish the seriousness, so Vernis just emphasized that Roan is her subordinate, then turned and left here.


    Verinis wasn''t worried that Roan would be tricked by Dorothy. According to her observations during this time, Roan liked young and beautiful white girls.


    And Dorothy''s age and figure... Verniss laughed, she couldn''t even compare to herself from the inside out, how could Roan like her.


    Dorothy: "��"


    On the other side, after listening to Roan''s description of several cases, Trick Kennedy took a drink from his glass and said with a smile:


    "Sure enough, the life of a front-line detective is more exciting. I also thought about going to the grassroots to solve the case before, but... hehe, I still didn''t make it in the end."


    Seeing Versailles, a guy who is less than thirty-five years old and works inside the Washington government, Roan''s eyelids twitched, and he began to chat with the two big men calmly.


    Not long after, Vernis also came over.


    "Good evening, Trick."


    "Good evening, Winnie."


    Standing aside, Roan raised his eyebrows slightly. Judging from the address, Vernis was obviously familiar with Trick Kennedy.


    After saying hello, Vernis asked:


    "What are you talking about?"


    "Talking about your outstanding agent."


    Trick Kennedy chuckled, and was about to speak when the feeling of fire under his **** suddenly struck Roan again.


    Roan twitched the corner of his mouth, and without hesitation, he immediately pushed Tricker, the deputy director, and Corbett down under the table beside him, and then pulled Vernis into hiding.


    The next second, a deafening explosion sounded suddenly!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 223： explode! the first lady!

    Chapter 223 Explosion! the first lady!


    The paparazzi outside the Manhattan Hotel are sitting bored waiting for the banquet to end.


    Boom! !


    Right at this moment, a sudden explosion startled them all, and one of the paparazzi even spilled coffee all over himself.


    Looking up and seeing the billowing smoke rising from the upper floors of the building, the paparazzi and passers-by were dumbfounded.


    After thinking about an incident that happened a few years ago, passers-by shouted and fled.


    The paparazzi, whose body was covered with coffee, shook suddenly, raised the camera and rushed towards the gate of the Hilton Hotel.


    It was just an explosion, the building hasn''t collapsed yet! First-hand news is the most important!


    The paparazzi also reacted when they saw this, and hurriedly picked up the camera and rushed towards the building. The security guard of the building who was also startled hurriedly reached out to stop it, and the scene was in chaos.


    Upstairs, the banquet hall.


    The sudden explosion also scared everyone to hide on the ground, and the ground was also covered with shattered glass.


    Fortunately, the place where the explosion happened was not this banquet hall, but a higher floor upstairs.


    So there are only some scratched people who dodged improperly, and unlucky people who were injured by falling objects.


    "Everyone! Get out of here immediately!"


    After the explosion, the feeling of burning buttocks disappeared instantly. Roan immediately got out from the bottom of the table and shouted:


    "Get out of the stairs quickly! It''s dangerous here!"


    "That''s right! That''s right!"


    "Quickly exit this building!"


    "Women go first!"


    "Everyone, don''t panic! Leave in an orderly manner!"


    After all, everyone at the scene was the leaders of various departments within the FBI, and immediately began to leave the banquet hall in an orderly manner after reacting.


    Roan overturned the dining table, first pulled Vernis up, and then reached out to the deputy director and Trick Kennedy:


    "Both officers, are you okay?"


    "fine!"


    "We are not hurt!"


    Trick Kennedy patted his thigh and pulled Roan''s hand to stand up. The deputy director felt a little pain in his buttocks. He probably didn''t react just now and was pushed to the ground by Roan. After all, he was old.


    Corbert also stood up quickly, and Vernis, who was next to him, shook his phone:


    "The NYPD and SWAT teams have rushed here and started cordoning off the scene."


    Roan nodded upon seeing this, and hurriedly said:


    "Several officers, leave quickly!"


    Then Vernis was placed at the forefront of leaving the banquet hall.


    Seeing this, the three deputy directors twitched their mouths, but after all, Verinis is a woman, and Roan also protected himself and the others just now, so the three of them didn''t say much, and quickly followed behind Verinis. stairs.


    When he reached the stairs, Luo An wanted to go upstairs to check the situation above. The place where the explosion occurred was several floors away from here. Simply calculate the distance, it should be the scene where the charity auction is being held.


    Roan wanted to go upstairs to see what was going on, maybe he could gain something.


    But just as Roan was about to turn around and go upstairs, he was held tightly by Verenice and Trick Kennedy.


    The reason why Vernis held Roan back was very simple, because she didn''t want Roan, a powerful subordinate, to risk herself. The ghost knows what happened above and how many enemies there are.


    He''s just an FBI agent, not a CIA agent.


    In the eyes of Verinisi, Roan''s life is more important.


    The reason why Trick Kennedy held Roan was more complicated. Seeing Roan wanting to go upstairs several times, thinking of Roan''s action of saving himself first, Trick Kennedy gritted his teeth and whispered in Roan''s ear. Bian whispered:


    "The First Lady is upstairs! It''s far safer there than us!"


    A certain Bush''s wife? When did you come? Why didn''t I see the car?


    Hearing this, the corner of Luo An''s mouth twitched, and he stopped talking about going upstairs, and hurriedly followed the four deputy directors downstairs.


    Since there is the first lady upstairs, it means that there must be people from the Federal Secret Service there. After all, the task of those people is to protect the federal president himself and his family.


    Now that there''s an explosion there, whether or not the first lady is injured, Roan is sure that the Secret Service gang is absolutely going crazy.


    At this time, it is better not to go into the muddy water there, who knows what the crazy Secret Service will do.


    Sure enough, Luo An just followed the four of Deputy Director Verinis to the first floor of the Hilton Hotel, and found that the outside of the hotel had been completely blocked by NYPD and SWAT.


    But before everyone left, a large group of guys in pitch-black uniforms rushed out from nowhere, surrounded everyone, and lined up to carefully check their identities one by one.


    "Fu-k!"


    "Shit!"


    "damn it!"


    The leaders of the FBI found themselves under scrutiny, and couldn''t help being very upset. Some of the hot-tempered leaders even scolded them directly.


    The secret service agent in charge of checking the identities of everyone was sweating profusely, pleading guilty repeatedly, but he refused to let them go, and had to check one by one.


    In the end, Trick Kennedy and the deputy director came out, identified themselves, and led the leaders of the FBI to quickly pass the inspection of the Secret Service agents.


    Among them, Roan, the little deputy team leader, was ranked fifth in the inspection queue, second only to Trick Kennedy, the deputy director, Corbett, and Vernis.


    Other leaders of the FBI who participated in the gathering: ������


    Dorothy at the end of the line: "???"


    After walking out of the building, Roan found the scene extremely chaotic.


    FBI, National Security Agency NSA, Defense Intelligence Agency DIA, Department of Homeland Security DHS... and many other departments all appeared and rushed to the scene to join in the grand event.


    Among them, the two chiefs of the New York Police Department NYPD and the New York Fire Department FDNY also rushed here, but they couldn''t squeeze in the front at all, so they could only shout loudly with loudspeakers in the back.


    Seeing the scene where at least ten leaders were smashed to death with a brick, Roan was very moved.


    This lineup and configuration are almost comparable to the day when the plane crashed into the building!


    If the man behind the bomb planted just now also planted a bomb here, then...


    After imitating the scene after the bomb exploded in his mind, the corner of Roan''s mouth twitched, and he couldn''t help shivering.


    Roan''s trembling was just seen by Vernis. She frowned slightly, patted Roan''s arm, and asked:


    "How is it? Where did you get hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check?"


    Trick Kennedy next to him heard this, and immediately took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Roan, saying:


    "Go to the Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. The deputy dean there is my uncle. Take out this business card and you can check it for free!"


    "..."


    Hearing this, Luo An, who was going to be polite, silently stuffed the business card into his pocket.


    As expected of the Kennedy family, the Federation is full of their relatives and friends.


    When such a big event happened, the whole of New York was shocked. It didn''t take long for the agents of the No. 5 investigation team to arrive at the scene.


    Among them, Mona was the fastest. Although she hadn''t recovered well, her legs were a little weak, and her arms were a little trembling, she still rushed to the scene to check on Roan''s condition, and she was relieved when she learned that he was not injured.


    After all, this case involves the first lady. According to past experience, the FBI Washington headquarters will send senior agents from the headquarters and other law enforcement agencies to conduct a joint investigation on this case.


    But a few hours later, Roan looked at the black folder in front of him and his mouth twitched:


    "This is��"


    Seeing the expression on Roan''s face, Vernis guessed what he was thinking, shook her head and said with a smile:


    "Don''t worry, we won''t be the main investigator of that case.


    But this case happened in New York after all, so we need our New York branch to send the best team of detectives to assist the headquarters detectives in the investigation. "


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 224： The Truth and the Bomb

    Chapter 224 The truth of the case and the bomb


    Hearing that Verinisi praised the No. 5 investigation team as the best team of agents in the New York branch of the FBI, the corners of Roan''s mouth twitched slightly, a little happy.


    but��


    Close the folder, Roan raised his head with a serious face.


    Seeing this, Verinisi''s face gradually became serious.


    After all, Luo An is a front-line detective and the main person who experienced the crime scene just now. Did he find any clues or problems?


    Just as Verini was thinking wildly, Roan finally opened his mouth and asked his own question in a deep voice:


    "Sir, if we go to assist in the investigation, will there be overtime pay?"


    Today is Saturday and tomorrow is Sunday. These two days are clearly stipulated rest periods within the FBI!


    Hearing this, Vernis froze the corners of her mouth and twitched slightly, then covered her forehead speechlessly:


    "...There is overtime pay, don''t worry."


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, and there is no problem with overtime pay. He continued to chat briefly, and after listening to Verinisi''s instructions and precautions, and calling her if there was something to do, he picked up the folder and left here.


    ����


    Because this is to assist in the investigation, the work location is not in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, but in the joint command center on a certain floor of the Jacob Federal Building.


    Investigation Team No. 5 is led by Team Leader Augustus and Deputy Team Leader Roan, with only Ryder, Lacey and Mona as members.


    Sunday, at one o''clock in the morning, the joint command center was brightly lit, various equipment buzzed continuously, and everyone was busy and noisy.


    Because it was the first time to participate in such a big battle, the three of Lacey were a little nervous.


    Although Augustus didn''t panic, his **** face was also tense.


    After Roan pushed open the door into the joint command center, his eyes lit up, and he greeted with a smile:


    "Good evening, Team Leader Melody, I didn''t expect you to come too!"


    "Meet you again, team leader Kevin, yes, yes, I have also been transferred!"


    "Good evening, Mr. Klaus! It''s me, you''ve worked hard!"


    The three of Augustus and Mona who watched this scene were stunned.


    Why does Roan look like he''s coming home?


    But Augustus quickly put Roan aside, because he also met an acquaintance, and as the leader of the investigation team, he needed to attend the meeting to listen to the work arrangement.


    All the officers left the hall and ran to the meeting, and Roan returned to where the three of Lacey were with a smile under the eyes of all the agents in amazement, envy, doubt, and jealousy.


    "Roan, what''s your situation?"


    Lacey couldn''t hold back her curiosity at first, and asked in a low voice:


    "How do you know so many officers?"


    Thinking of the Chief Lawrence who was talking and laughing with Roan just now, Lacey''s face was full of uneasiness.


    As far as she knew, Chief Lawrence was one of the leaders of the Security Department of the FBI New York Branch.


    The Department of Security within the FBI is equivalent to the Department of Internal Affairs of other law enforcement agencies!


    Hearing Lacey''s question, Mona and Ryder also moved over curiously.


    "Hehe, I just attended a banquet a few hours ago, Mona knew about it."


    Roan smiled and waved his hand, it''s just a trivial matter.


    As mentioned earlier, the former special agent chief Corbett took Roan around the banquet in person, and naturally many people knew Roan.


    In addition, Roan is handsome and sweet-talking, so before meeting Trick Kennedy, Roan had already met a lot of leaders, and a lot of business cards were stuffed in his pocket by those officers.


    The officers who greeted Roan just now didn''t even count as one-tenth of the number of business cards in their pockets.


    "..." x3


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Lacey''s face was full of speechlessness, Ryder''s face was full of envy, and Mona silently grasped Roan''s arm.


    She was a little afraid that Roan would be tricked by goblins from other departments and other investigation teams.


    Within a few minutes, the meeting of the leaders was over, and Augustus also returned to the location of the No. 5 investigation team.


    The four of Roan immediately became serious when they saw this, and asked:


    "Sir, what is our job?"


    "There is no work, just sit and wait for orders."


    Augus waved his hand, picked up a cup of coffee and sat down, and began to briefly explain the situation during this period.


    Learning that the charity auction attended by the first lady had exploded, the chief of the Secret Service swallowed two quick-acting heart-relief pills and immediately issued a death order, demanding that the people below must immediately catch the murderer behind the scenes.


    After the FBI headquarters in Washington learned of the news, although the high-level officials did not take the medicine, they immediately issued the same order to the senior agents under them.


    No matter which country it is, as long as the higher-ups with sufficient control give a death order, then the people below will definitely run out to carry out the task immediately, and complete it quickly with incredible speed.


    So within two hours after the explosion ended, two senior FBI agents from the Washington headquarters successfully captured the guy who planted the bomb.


    Then two senior FBI agents took the murderer to the interrogation room of the Joint Command Center to start a surprise interrogation, and two Secret Service agents were responsible for assisting and recording.


    As for why the murderer has been caught, there are still so many departments in the Joint Command Center, so many leaders in the...


    I can only talk about politics. You can be useless after you come, or you can just stay there, but you absolutely have to come.


    "All right."


    After listening to Augustus'' narration, the four of Roan sat down and waited for the news.


    Not long after, about 30 minutes, Augustus received the news that the interrogation was over, and then took Roan to the depths of the corridor of the joint command center.


    People in other departments were moved. After all, it is the duty and work of the FBI to solve the case.


    Pushing open the door of the monitoring room next to the interrogation room, Luo An frowned:


    "Sir Terry Kennedy!"


    In the monitoring room, besides the two officers wearing Secret Service uniforms, there were also two FBI leaders, one of whom was Trick Kennedy whom Roan had met at the banquet before.


    "Haha, Roan Greenwood!"


    Seeing Roan, Trik immediately came up with a big smile. The two extended their hands and shook hands. Trik introduced their identities to several people in the room. His gaze turned to the interrogation room aside.


    The interrogators were a man and a woman, two middle-aged white men in suits and uniforms, obviously from the FBI headquarters in Washington.


    On the chair opposite the two, a white youth who looked less than thirty years old was handcuffed.


    "The circumstances of this case are not complicated."


    Trick Kennedy handed over the identity information of the white youth to Augustus and Roan, folded his arms and said:


    "Huriel Harris, 28 years old this year, his mother died of painful complications from cancer a month ago.


    While her mother was suffering from cancer, Hu Ruier had been giving her some kind of special medicine that the first lady has vigorously supported and promoted in recent years.


    But the mother died of cancer in the end, so Hu Ruier has hated the first lady ever since..."


    Whether there is any problem with the specific medicine itself, Trick Kennedy didn''t say, neither did Augustus and Roan.


    It can only be said that the Federation has its own national conditions.


    After thinking about it, Roan asked another question.


    That is, since Hu Ruier has already confessed everything and the case is considered settled, why did you ask the two of them to come here?


    "There is one more serious matter."


    Hearing this, Trick Kennedy looked very serious:


    " Hu Ruier confessed that his bomb was bought.


    According to the seller, the seller has more than a dozen bombs that can "blow up an entire block"! "


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 225： $2 million!

    Chapter 225 $2 million!


    "What? A dozen?"


    Hearing Trick Kennedy''s words, Augustus was shocked by the quantity held by the seller, while Roan frowned and asked immediately:


    "What is the material of the bomb? Have you detected it?"


    Whether the seller is bragging about Roan is not sure, but the high-rise rooms of the Hilton Hotel have been completely turned into ruins at this time.


    The specific number of casualties has not been announced, but Roan has learned from Lacey that dozens of high-end rooms in the high-end New York hospital where a female friend of hers works are already full.


    "The material of the bomb is C4 explosive."


    As soon as Luo An asked the question, the door of the monitoring room was pushed open, and two middle-aged white men, a man and a woman, came in to answer the question.


    The two were in charge of interrogating Hu Ruier, an FBI agent from the Washington headquarters.


    A man and a woman stretched out their hands with a smile:


    "Hello, my name is Levi''s."


    "Hi, Wallita."


    Augus reached out and shook hands with the two of them. When it was Roan''s turn, Walita smiled slightly, and Levi also frowned:


    "Roan Greenwood, deputy team leader, right, I''ve heard of you for a long time."


    Roan was just about to ask, Levi explained with a smile:


    "When we were young, we studied at Quantico School with Verenes, and we also visited Mr. Clement''s house many times as guests."


    Luo An raised his eyebrows when he heard the words:


    "Just call me Roan, nice to meet you."


    Several people smiled and greeted a few words, and then immediately brought the topic to the topic.


    "According to the contact information of the bomb seller given by Hu Ruier, we have identified a suspect."


    Handing the folder to Roan and Augustus, Wallita introduced:


    "Zachary Moore, 32 years old this year, is a broker who has traveled around in New York, California, Florida, and Texas in the past two years."


    Seeing a middle-aged white man with a fashionable hairstyle in the folder photo, Augustus continued to ask:


    "So, our next goal is to find and capture him?"


    "Zachary is just one side."


    Worita said that Zachary did not make bombs, and all the bombs he sold were made by his partners.


    So capturing Zachary''s partner was also one of the goals.


    "Coincidentally, one of our agents has been chatting with Zachary on the Internet for several weeks, and they have reached a point where they can meet each other.


    We can take this opportunity to meet each other and catch each other. "


    Having said that, Levi''s took out another folder and handed it to Roan, saying:


    "If possible, also take this opportunity to directly capture the partners behind Zachary.


    But one thing is very unfortunate, the agent under me died a few days ago because of a certain mission, so..."


    "Um?"


    After reading the information in his hand, and hearing what the two people said just now, Luo An''s eyelids moved slightly, he raised his head, and said with a serious face:


    "So, when are the other agents on your team going to meet with Zachary, what kind of help do you need?


    Although you mention it, our No. 5 investigation team will definitely cooperate fully! "


    "..."


    Seeing Roan who was pretending to be confused, Levi''s and Walita twitched their mouths and looked at each other, seeing the helplessness in each other''s eyes.


    A few seconds later, Levi''s explained:


    "I hope this task can be carried out by you, deputy team leader Luo An."


    The reasons given by Levi''s are very good. Not only is Roan very similar to the chief detective who died under him, the same age, but also Roan is skilled and intelligent, and can fully cope with emergencies and support the arrival of reinforcements.


    And Roan is also from the FBI, Levi''s doesn''t want people from other law enforcement agencies to come here to get involved.


    A few people from the Secret Service next to him said that it doesn''t matter. Their duty is to protect the president and his family, and solving crimes has nothing to do with them.


    "No."


    Before Roan could answer, August next to him shook his head repeatedly to express his refusal:


    "Roan''s experience in performing disguise missions is not very sufficient, and his face has also appeared on TV and newspapers in the New York area. This mission is not suitable for him!"


    "I''ve seen Agent Luo An''s grades in school, and the camouflage score is not low.


    And we can set the meeting place in California, and our makeup experts help Roann make up, the chances of Zachary discovering Roann''s real identity are very, very low. "


    After Levi said these words, seeing that Augustus was about to shake his head and say something, he immediately turned his attention to Roan:


    "Roan, what do you think?"


    Augus'' words froze. If Roan himself agreed, he really couldn''t help it.


    Seeing Augustus'' eyes full of rejection and worry, Roan chuckled and asked:


    "Before I answer this question, can I go and make a phone call?"


    "sure!"


    Seeing the other party nodding with a smile, Roan immediately walked out of the room and took out his phone, and gave��


    Mona sent a message.


    In the message was the name of the dead agent that Levi said. Roan hoped that Mona would find out the specific situation of the other party as quickly as possible.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan called Vernis again, and briefly described the situation here. After listening, Vernis asked Roan to wait for a while, and immediately hung up the phone.


    Deep in the corridor, Roan was alone with his arms around his head and his head bowed in thought.


    To be honest, Luo An is not particularly repulsed by this task. After all, this is not the most difficult task. Going undercover to a gangster after a narrow escape is just pretending to be a criminal to meet the other party.


    Combined with his own skills, and the medicine prescribed by the system in his mind, even if his true identity is discovered by the enemy, Roan is sure to be able to escape smoothly.


    It''s just that Roan absolutely can''t agree so directly. After all, before he came here, Vernis said that they were "assisting" the other party''s investigation.


    If Roan obeyed the arrangement to carry out this task without saying anything, how would he be credited afterwards?


    On the other hand, Roan doesn''t trust Levi''s and Wallita very much either. The ghost knows whether the agent they are talking about is dead or not.


    For those who came out of Washington, Roan always maintained 100% vigilance.


    Not long after, Mona sent a message, which stated that the agent had indeed died a few days ago, and that there was indeed a chat and fishing content with Zachary in his work records during his lifetime.


    After reading Mona''s message, Roan nodded, and then Vernis also called.


    "I suggest you to carry out this task, Roan."


    Verinisi did not talk nonsense, and directly told Roan the situation she had investigated. Among them, the information about the dead detective was true, and there was also the issue of distribution of credit afterwards. Vernisi promised that she would never Let Luo Anbai contribute.


    Not only that, Verinisi also inquired about another piece of news:


    "Just now I learned from Mr. Clement in Washington that just now, a certain foundation owned by the first lady set up a new small foundation with 6 million US dollars.


    Among them, 4 million U.S. dollars were used to help passers-by who were victims of the bombing, and the remaining 2 million U.S. dollars belonged to law enforcement officers investigating the case. "


    Hearing the amount of the money, and thinking of Verinisi''s vow that she would never let her own credit go to waste, Roan''s eyes immediately shone brighter than flashlights.


    Two hours later, Roan, as the deputy team leader, led the three agents of the No. 5 investigation team, and together with Levi''s and Wallita, got on the plane to California.

 Chapter 226： There is a feeling of thighs on the back, and the needle does not poke!

    Chapter 226 There is a feeling of thighs behind the back, but the needle does not poke!


    Los Angeles, California.


    Located in the southwest of California, Los Angeles is the second largest city in the Federation and the largest city in the west of the Federation. It is often called the "City of Angels".


    When the plane that Luo An and others took arrived here, the sun had already risen, and the air was very warm and at the same time a little dry.


    The location of the FBI Los Angeles Branch is not far from the University of California, Los Angeles, and only 30 minutes away from Los Angeles International Airport, so everyone arrived there in a short time by special car.


    "Hi there."


    The crowd was greeted by a white man with a bald head. His position was the leader of an investigation team of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch. His name was Owen.


    "Hello, Team Leader Owen."


    The two of Levi''s smiled and stretched out their hands to shake each other. From the words of several people, Roan could clearly see that they had dealt with each other a lot before, and they were very familiar with each other.


    Seeing Owen turn his gaze to himself and the others, Roan, who led the team, immediately extended his hand with a smile:


    "Hello, Team Leader Owen, I am..."


    "Roan Greenwood, deputy team leader, has long admired his name!"


    Before Roan finished speaking, Owen called out his name, stretched out his hand and shook Roan tightly, and laughed loudly:


    "Verinis and I mentioned you, you are indeed young and handsome!"


    "You flatter me."


    Hearing Vernis in the other party''s mouth, Roan suddenly realized, and the polite smile on his face became a little gentler.


    Luo An originally thought that he and others would come to the site of other investigation teams to handle the case, and he was afraid that they would make things difficult.


    But since Vernis has already said hello in advance, this kind of thing will inevitably disappear a lot.


    There is a feeling of thighs behind the needle without poking!


    In an office of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch.


    Mona chatted with Zachary Moore through the computer and determined the location of the meeting. Lacey sorted out the equipment such as the contactor, and Ryder sorted out the US dollars to be used for the next meeting transaction.


    Roan sat on the chair next to him, looking down at the information, while Wallita was holding a lot of bottles and jars to apply makeup on his face.


    Mona and the three did not expect that Volita was the makeup master that Levi''s said.


    Seeing that Wallita was about to finish her makeup, Levi who was standing next to her immediately asked:


    "How is it, Roan, have you memorized it?"


    In the folder in Roan''s hand, there are all the chat records between the previous agent and Zachary, as well as the identity and personal information that the agent disguised for himself.


    These contents are very important. Levi''s asked Roan to remember them all from the moment he got on the plane.


    Just looking at the thick paper in the folder and the short time, Levi also felt that this request was making things difficult for Roan.


    But after all, it is related to Roan''s life safety and whether the task can be successfully completed, so Levi''s kept the apology in his heart, and said very seriously:


    "Roan, no matter what method you use, I must memorize them all!"


    "Relax, sir."


    Hearing what Levi''s said, Roan, who had finally finished his makeup, straightened up, shook his thighs, threw the folder aside, and said with a smile:


    ��I wrote it all down when I was on the plane.��


    The chat history in the folder is not complicated, it is nothing more than testing each other, and testing each other, and testing each other.


    From the perspective of an FBI agent, Roan quickly grasped the agent''s thinking and probing words.


    The identity was changed to a killer again, and Roan also touched the thoughts of Zachary, a broker, when chatting, so Roan thoroughly remembered the words of the two sides'' probing.


    At the same time, as a killer in his previous life, the most basic quality is to quickly integrate into his pretended identity, so Roan quickly memorized the identity and information that the detective fabricated for himself.


    "What?"


    Hearing this, and seeing the indifferent expression on Roan''s face, team leader Owen frowned, and Wallita''s face darkened instantly.


    Levi''s put his hands on his hips and said in a cold voice:


    "Roan, these materials are related to your life! You..."


    "I Konw (I know)."


    Too lazy to waste time arguing with Levi about this kind of thing, Roan handed the folder directly to the other party, and let Levi''s ask, Roan can always answer 99% of the answers.


    The remaining one percent are some sentences spoken by Roan, which are not exactly the same as the words in the original chat sentences.


    However, this is a normal situation. After all, the two sides have chatted for a few weeks, and some words and sentences must not be fully remembered by the two of them.


    "..." x3


    After listening to Roan''s answer, Walita and Team Leader Owen stood beside them with wide-eyed eyes and incredible expressions on their faces.


    Levi''s was also dumbfounded. After a long silence, he closed the folder and threw it aside, and patted Roan''s shoulder hard:


    "You did a great job, Roan, you deserve to be the deputy team leader at the age of 25!"


    After a pause for a few seconds, Levi continued to ask in a low voice:


    "By the way, Roan, do you have any plans to come to Washington after this mission is over?


    I just have a few vacancies under my command, and I think the position of team leader is very suitable for you..."


    "..."


    Seeing the green light in Levi''s eyes, Roan swallowed and laughed, and hurriedly pulled Vernis out as a shield.


    Levi''s slapped his tongue when he heard the words, and felt a little pity. At this time, the three of Lacey had all prepared, and Levi''s stopped talking nonsense and immediately started to take action.


    Lacey installed three micro-connectors on Roan''s body, which were respectively located behind the cuff buttons, clothes buttons and **** pocket buttons of the white shirt.


    These communicators will always work, so that Lacey and others can provide support at any time.


    At the same time, Team Leader Owen also prepared a black gun with the serial number erased for Roan, which was hidden in Roan''s back.


    "This mission has three goals. The first is to catch Zachary, the second is to try to catch the partner behind him who can make bombs, and the third is to find those bombs."


    "clear."


    Hearing what Levi''s said, Roan hooked the corner of his mouth and gave Mona a reassuring look. Then Roan remembered something, looked back at Levi''s, and asked:


    "Got glasses? Get me a pair."


    "?"


    Levi''s was a little puzzled, and Wallita also frowned slightly, and said:


    "No need to wear glasses, Roan, your makeup is absolutely fine."


    "I wear glasses just because my makeup looks good."


    Roan spread his hands and said:


    "I''m the guy who''s going to buy the bomb now, maybe I''m not pretending at all?"


    Hearing this, Levi''s slapped his head suddenly, and team leader Owen also reacted. Wallita blushed slightly, and ran out quickly to find a pair of flat mirrors for Roan.


    Putting on the mirror, Roan twitched his mouth when he saw the face in the mirror whose face value had dropped by at least 80%. Then he took the pocket with the money in Ryder''s hand and walked towards the car, driving it to the place Zachary asked for. meeting location.


    Mona and the others did not follow up immediately, because Roan judged others by himself, and guessing the location the other party mentioned for the first time was probably a pretense.


    Sure enough, more than half an hour after Roan''s car arrived at the abandoned pier that Zachary said, the phone suddenly rang.


    Press the answer button, and an enthusiastic voice came from the other end of the phone:


    "Sorry, Mr. Kurt, I suddenly feel that the pier is not suitable, how about changing it?"


    Cotter is Roan''s disguised name.


    Roan glanced at the tall tower not far away through the car window, and grinned:


    "OK."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 227： Bargain price reduction **** smell

    Chapter 227 Bargaining-Price Reduction-Smell of Blood


    Getting the new address given by the other party, Roan hung up the phone and drove around, while whispering to the communicator:


    "Can you hear me, Mona?"


    "certainly!"


    In a dark command vehicle, Mona is controlling the equipment, Levi''s and Wallita are always paying attention, Ryder and Lacey are preparing for Roan''s immediate support when encountering problems, and team leader Owen is also preparing to call for remote support at all times.


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona immediately asked:


    "What''s wrong? Did you find something wrong?"


    "Wait for the tower next to the pier, someone should come down."


    Hearing Mona''s tone full of tension, Roan chuckled and said:


    "This person is likely to be an accomplice or subordinate of Zachary. If conditions permit, you can try to follow each other, and there may be unexpected gains.


    In addition, don''t go to the next location immediately, wait for my notification before going there. "


    "OK."


    After listening to Roan''s words, Mona immediately turned her head to look at Levi''s, and Levi''s turned to Team Leader Owen.


    Team leader Owen nodded immediately when he saw this:


    "No problem, I''ll send someone right away."


    Soon, Roan drove to the second location Zachary mentioned, which was an abandoned warehouse.


    But Roan still didn''t get out of the car in a hurry. As expected, more than half an hour later, his phone rang again, and the enthusiastic voice was still inside:


    "Excuse me, Mr. Cotter..."


    "I know, I have to change places again, right?"


    Before the other party finished speaking, Roan interrupted him, and then said with the same smile:


    "I know what you''re worried about, I don''t mind that, it''s just a waste of time, I''m willing to show my sincerity.


    But when we meet later, I hope you can also show your sincerity, OK? "


    After Luo An''s words fell, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and finally agreed:


    "no problem!"


    Getting the new address, Roan drove the car out again, and at the same time said to the communicator:


    "It''s okay this time."


    "OK!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona turned to look at Ryder, who immediately turned the car key and stepped on the gas pedal of the command car.


    The meeting place this time is an abandoned shipyard in the south of Los Angeles.


    Parked the car to the side of the road, Roan got out of the car, and after a while, the phone rang.


    The enthusiastic voice is still on the phone:


    "It''s really fast, Mr. Cotter. I''m in the iron house not far from you!"


    "OK."


    Hanging up the phone, Roan quickly walked into the big metal room.


    There is a round table and two benches in the middle of the house, and a man is sitting on one of the benches.


    Seeing Roan''s figure, the man in a brown suit and with a stylish hairstyle immediately stood up, opened his hands and laughed loudly:


    "Hi, Mr. Cotter!"


    "It''s hard to see you, Zachary dear."


    Ignoring the other party''s outstretched hand, Roan glanced at the big box next to him calmly, then sat on the chair opposite Zachary, and said:


    "Trade directly, I have wasted enough time today."


    "no problem."


    Zachary didn''t care about the trivial matter of being rejected when he extended his hand. He sat down on the chair, twisted his buttocks, and said:


    "It''s just a small change in the situation, Mr. Cotter."


    "Yeah?"


    Hearing this, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    "What changes?"


    "Recently, the market has been in short supply."


    Zachary leaned back, raised his legs, and said with a smile:


    "You know, according to the laws of economics, when supply exceeds demand, prices will rise."


    "I didn''t expect you to be an economist."


    Roan grinned at the corner of his mouth and asked:


    "The original price was 200,000, how much did you raise?"


    Zachary Fly rubbed his hands and laughed:


    "Not much, just 500,000."


    "Fu-k!"


    Hearing this, Roan suddenly "raged", took out the black gun from behind his **** and aimed it at Zachary''s head.


    The next second, behind the big box that Roan glanced at before, a woman who was also holding a pistol jumped out immediately. She pointed the gun at Roan and said sharply:


    "lay down your weapon!"


    "Let me introduce, this is my bodyguard, Sophia."


    Seeing the woman jumping out, Zachary leaned back, spread his hands, and smiled:


    "I hope��"


    "I don''t want to hear your hopes, Zachary."


    Before Zachary finished speaking, Roan interrupted him, and said with a cold face:


    "Let me say this for the last time, I have only one goal in coming here today, and that is to buy bombs!


    And you, you have been wasting time, raising prices temporarily, and hiding a woman, without any sincerity!


    As for whether I am afraid of death, hehe, I am sure that before this woman shoots and kills me, I will shoot and kill you first! What do you think? "


    That''s what he said, but Roan kept staring at the woman from the corner of his eye.


    He had spotted the opponent just now, and at the same time, he had already prepared to avoid the opponent just now. Roan was 90% sure that he would be able to deal with the opponent.


    In the command car far away, Levi''s three faces were full of tension, and Mona and the three were ready to support at any time.


    In the iron house, Zachary��s face was ugly. He had just lived a good life of throwing a lot of coins for a few years, so he was silent for a moment, and he asked:


    "Then what do you want to do?"


    Roan heard the words and said expressionlessly:


    "Sell me the bomb at an original price of 200,000."


    "Impossible! 450,000!"


    "250000!"


    "400000!"


    "300000!"


    "350,000!"


    "290,000!"


    Hearing this, Zachary''s mouth twitched suddenly, why did he bring a reverse price cut?


    Roan shrugged:


    "Because I brought a total of 300,000 this time."


    Zachary clapped his hands:


    "That''s 300,000!"


    "No!"


    Roan shook his head again and again:


    "Only 290,000! When I came today, the organization gave me 300,000.


    I originally planned to deduct 100,000 by myself, but now I only have 10,000, no less! "


    "..." x2


    When the two people in the iron house heard the words, their faces were filled with speechlessness.


    But the two also understood one thing in their hearts, that is, Roan was not alone, he was sent by the organization behind him.


    It is not appropriate to kill Roan. The ghost knows whether this kind of organization that likes to make explosions will find them afterwards. Zachary, who only wants to make money, can''t afford to bet.


    This is also part of Roan��s plan, so Zachary finally reached out:


    "make a deal."


    "Good."


    Zachary waved his hand first to let Sophia put down the pistol, and then Roan put down the pistol, then reached out and shook Zachary.


    After negotiating good terms, Zachary also saw 300,000 real green bills in Roan''s car, and immediately invited Roan to get in his car to pick up the bomb with him.


    Roan didn''t refuse, but just held the money bag in his left hand and the pistol in his right, and sat in the back seat of the car with Sophia.


    Zachary drove the car for a long time, and finally arrived at an abandoned factory building on the south side of Los Angeles.


    Ryder was driving the command car far behind.


    "Trust me, you''re going to love this bomb."


    Walking into a certain factory building, Zachary bragged loudly while leading the way:


    "A large pile of c4 explosives has been bundled together by my brother in a magical way, and it is equipped with two detonation methods. The power of the explosion will definitely make your target disappear completely!"


    "If this is the case, we will definitely buy from you again in the future!"


    Walking beside Zachary, Roan had a "very satisfied" expression on his face, but before walking far, Roan suddenly moved his nose slightly and then frowned.


    What a strong smell of blood!


    Could it be that Zachary''s brother accidentally blew himself up when he was making a bomb?


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 228： 【First Lady Auction Bombing (222

    Chapter 228 [The Bombing of the First Lady��s Auction (Chapter 222 starts)]


    An abandoned factory building in South Los Angeles.


    Roan''s nose has always been very sensitive, the moment he smelled blood, he calmly prepared to fight.


    Zachary next to him was still bragging loudly, and continued to walk a few steps forward. The female bodyguard Sophia also noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly reached out her hand to stop the two.


    Zachary frowned when he saw this:


    "What''s wrong?"


    "It smells of blood!"


    Sofia waved her hand to signal Zachary to hide behind her, then took out her pistol and moved forward slowly in a warning posture.


    Roan glanced at Sophia with interest, then hurriedly took out his pistol and followed Zachary, whispering impatiently:


    "What''s going on? Why are there so many situations today? Are you professionals?"


    "..."


    Hearing Roan''s complaint, Zachary looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say.


    Could it be that I gave less money after going out to play games and exercise last time, which made my luck worse recently?


    Sophia led the two forward not far, and Roan saw a cement room with an iron door opened.


    On the ground of the cement room, a man was shot several times, and a large pool of blood flowed on the ground. The dead body of a white male appeared in front of the three of them.


    "Thomas!"


    The moment Sophia and Zachary saw the male body, their expressions changed suddenly, and they hurried into the cement room.


    There was no one in the square concrete room. Sophia immediately bent down and turned Thomas'' body over. After feeling for the pulse and making sure that the other party was completely dead, Sophia immediately turned red with eyes and cursed.


    "Fu-k! Damn it! Who the **** did it!?"


    "NoNoNoNo..."


    Zachary also panicked when he saw Sophia''s performance. He kept repeating words but didn''t know what to say.


    The people in the command car not far away had different expressions when they heard this through the communicator, but Roan hadn''t called for support yet, so Levi''s had to wave his hand to signal to stay still.


    Roan in the factory looked around, but found no bomb, so he immediately asked loudly:


    "Hey! Zachary! What the **** is going on?!"


    Zachary was still circling in circles, not knowing what to do. Seeing this, Roan didn''t hesitate, and slapped him directly in the face.


    Snapped!


    This slap was very hard, and the severe pain instantly woke up Zachary. Just as he was about to curse loudly, Roan grabbed Zachary''s shoulder and said loudly:


    "Zachary! I''m here today to buy bombs, OK?


    Your brother is obviously hopeless now, and we don��t know if the police will be called here later.


    So let''s get the deal done now and get out of here, OK? "


    "OK! OK! You''re right!"


    Sophia was still immersed in sadness and did not look up, but Zachary immediately woke up after hearing Roan''s words.


    Don''t care about Roan slapping himself just now, Zachary immediately pulled Roan quickly to a corner of the cement room, where there was an indoor fire hydrant hanging on the wall.


    Pull open the iron door outside the fire hydrant, inside is a big room, Zachary hastily led Roan into it.


    Entering the room, Roan saw four black packages with red TNT inside, and Zachary was furious when he saw this scene, and cursed:


    "Sonof than eat!


    That thief actually stole three bombs from me! "


    "What did you say?"


    Hearing this, Luo An''s pupils shrank, and the expressions of everyone in the command car changed drastically.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan did not hesitate, and immediately knocked four times on the communicator.


    This is the action order they agreed upon in advance, four times is action, three times is Yuya... is support.


    Hearing four knocks, the command car did not hesitate at all. Levi''s, Walita, Ryder, and Lacey immediately opened the door and rushed into the abandoned factory building with weapons.


    "One bomb is 500,000, three bombs is 1.5 million!


    Damn thief, he actually stole 1.5 million from me! "


    Zachary was immersed in the grief of losing a good brother and a large sum of money, but he still pulled up a black package and prepared to hand it back to Roan.


    But as soon as Zachary turned his head, a huge fist with a fist style appeared in front of his eyes.


    "F..."


    boom!


    Zachary widened his eyes and prepared to greet Roan, but before he finished speaking, Roan punched him unconscious.


    Sophia just got half of her body into the room at this time, and her pupils shrank suddenly when she saw Roan start. Just as she was about to draw out her gun to attack, Roan raised the pistol and pulled the trigger towards the hole in the wall.


    bang bang bang��


    Three shots were fired, Roan missed Sophia, and Sophia sat back on the concrete floor outside.


    ��@#%������


    There was some pain in the buttocks, but Sophia forgot about it. While swearing, she immediately got up from the ground, raised her pistol and hid beside the hole, planning to find a way to kill Roan.


    The next second, all four of Ryder rushed into the concrete room, aiming at Sophia''s head with four pistols, and shouted at the same time:


    "Do not move!"


    "lay down your weapon!"


    "Hands up!"


    Seeing the large white characters of "FBI" on Ryder and Lacey''s body armor, Sophia brows furiously, as ugly as her face can be.


    ����


    Half an hour later, FBI Los Angeles Branch, Criminal Investigation Section, Investigation Team No. 2, office area.


    Levi''s, Roan and others walked into the office area, and Team Leader Owen introduced loudly:


    "Everyone! These two are Chief Levi''s and Chief Warita from Washington!


    These four are from our FBI New York branch, the deputy head of the No. 5 investigation team of the Criminal Investigation Division, Luo An, and agents Lacey, Ryder, and Mona! "


    crackling��


    After listening to Team Leader Owen''s introduction, the twenty agents of the No. 2 investigation team all applauded and welcomed.


    For the two officers from Washington, the twenty agents looked away after a glance. After all, they had seen similar people before, so they were not curious.


    They still turned more attention to several people from the New York No. 5 investigation team.


    To be precise, it was Roan''s body.


    At first they thought that Ryder or Lacey were the deputy team leaders, but they didn''t expect that the real deputy team leader was this handsome man with a handsome face who was clearly under thirty years old!


    The eyes of the female detectives in the No. 2 investigation team glowed, while the male detectives had different expressions, thinking about everything.


    "These are Lucerne, Jack, Evie and Hayes."


    Introducing the main detectives of the No. 2 investigation team to Luo An and the others, Owen turned his attention to Levi''s, and Levi''s nodded.


    ����To sum up, we have now successfully captured the broker Zachary, the bodyguard Sophia, and the dead bomb maker Thomas, and successfully found four bombs.


    But unfortunately, there are now three bombs strayed out, no accident, they should still be in Los Angeles.


    So our next goal is to find these three stolen bombs as quickly as possible! Understand? "


    "Understood!" xN


    "Good."


    Levi''s nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and said:


    "Zachary is awake for interrogation."


    "OK."


    Roan was just about to speak, when Lucerne from the No. 2 investigation team next to him suddenly interrupted:


    "Deputy team leader Luo An, you must be tired from rushing here from New York to arrest people, how about leaving this interrogation to us?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 229： idol is john hinckley

    Chapter 229 Idol is John Hinckley


    Lucerne of the No. 2 investigation team is a white youth who looks similar to Ryder, has a lot of muscles, but is about the same age as Roan.


    Hearing what Lucerne said, Owen, the leader of the No. 2 investigation team, and the other three agents, Jack, Evie, and Hayes, had different expressions. Levi''s and Wallita didn''t speak, and all looked at Roan.


    Lacey and Ryder of the No. 5 investigation team narrowed their eyes slightly when they saw this, Mona frowned, and Roan''s expression remained unchanged, and said with a light smile:


    "Of course you can, then I will work hard for you."


    "No hard work, no hard work."


    Lucerne chuckled, turned around and led Jack into the interrogation room.


    Walita glanced at Roan with great interest, and Levi''s eyes were even more satisfied, but thinking that Roan was from Verenice, he sighed in a low voice, and the two finally walked in with Team Leader Owen The monitoring room next to the interrogation room.


    The four of Roan were invited into the conference room by Evie and Hayes. After pouring them a few cups of coffee, Evie and the two brought them four laptops and some other equipment.


    As Evie and Hayes left, the door of the meeting room was closed, and the smile on Mona''s face suddenly collapsed, and she turned to look at Roan:


    "Roan, why did you ask Lucerne to interrogate Zachary just now?"


    "Calm down."


    Picking up the coffee and taking a sip, Roan stretched out his arms and stretched vigorously:


    "This is Los Angeles, not New York."


    The FBI can indeed enforce the law across regions and arrest people, but cross-regional law enforcement also needs to greet the local FBI.


    Otherwise, go to someone else''s site and arrest the prisoner without saying anything, so the local FBI doesn''t want to lose face?


    What''s more, there are three bombs in this case, and each bomb has the power to blow up a venue.


    "Successfully finding these three bombs and catching the thief is a great achievement."


    Roan pressed the power button of the laptop on the table and said with a smile:


    "We are four people from New York, but we can''t take this big credit in Los Angeles alone. Win-win cooperation is king."


    Interrogating the prisoner is just a trivial matter. Anyway, Lucerne and the others will give a copy of the interrogation record to Luo An and the others. The four of them can just take this opportunity to rest for a while.


    "All right."


    Mona nodded, ignored the computer that Evie gave her just now, but took out her notebook and started typing.


    Seeing that Mona is still so energetic, Roan thought for a while and said:


    "Check carefully the monitoring on the road near the abandoned factory building."


    "OK."


    Mona continued to type on the keyboard, while Lacey and Ryder, like Roan, fiddled with the computer on the surface, but in fact each found a position and began to rest and recover their strength and recharge their batteries.


    Flying is also very tiring.


    Forty minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the meeting room, and then Luzern and others walked in with a few pieces of paper, and said with a smile:


    "How is deputy team leader Luo An resting? We have finished the interrogation."


    "You guys are so fast!"


    Roan smiled and praised the other party casually, and took the interrogation record, which showed that Zachary did not expect this kind of thing to happen.


    But after thinking about it carefully, Zachary remembered a suspect who had met Zachary the afternoon before yesterday and wanted to buy a bomb, but he didn��t take the money and asked to see the bomb first, so Zachary Flatly refuse.


    Zachary said that the person was about thirty years old, a white male, of medium height, with short black hair, and called himself Smith.


    Seeing that Zachary gave the suspect''s contact information, Roan handed the interrogation record to Mona, raised his head and said to Lucerne with a smile:


    "There are 2.3 million Smiths in the Federation, and we are busy now."


    "Maybe it''s just a fake name."


    Lucerne shrugged and said:


    "It''s like I always say I''m 1.9 meters."


    "Hahaha."


    After the voice fell, there was a happy atmosphere in the conference room, and Ryder''s previous dissatisfaction with Lucerne dissipated a bit.


    Boom boom boom!


    At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Evie stretched her head and said:


    "Everyone, we have found the owner of the phone number."


    Everyone hurried out of the conference room after hearing the words, and several technical agents from the No. 2 investigation team showed the information to everyone:


    "From the phone number that Zachary gave us, we found a guy: Reginald Ruben.


    I am 35 years old and live in Southwest Los Angeles (Harper Loy). "


    "Forehead��"


    Seeing the brown-skinned, long-haired man in the photo, who looked like an artist, Roan frowned:


    "This seems to be a bit different from the thief Zachary described, and his appearance is a bit different."


    Levi''s and Wallita didn''t speak, but they both nodded.


    A white person and a Latino person are of different races, and the gap is not usually large.


    Team leader Owen and the others in Lucerne frowned, and several technical agents spread their hands in frustration.


    The owner of the phone number is the man in front of him, and they are 100% correct.


    After a moment of silence, Team Leader Owen turned around and said:


    "Have you checked the surveillance near the abandoned factory building?"


    "Checking."


    Several technical agents of the No. 2 investigation team nodded, saying that they need some time.


    At this moment, Mona suddenly pulled Laroan''s arm.


    Looking down to see the information on Mona''s computer, Roan narrowed his eyes slightly, and whispered a few words of praise in Mona''s ear, then took the laptop with Mona''s ears flushed, and raised his right hand high , said:


    "There is no need to investigate, we have already found the suspect!"


    "Um?"


    "What?"


    After the voice fell, everyone in the office area of ??the No. 2 investigation team turned their attention to Luo An.


    "I would also like to thank you detectives for finding this guy just now."


    Roan first raised the technical agents of the No. 2 investigation team with words, and then showed the information in the notebook to everyone, saying:


    "Just now I asked Mona to check the monitoring on the roads in the area near the abandoned factory building, and Mona successfully found several suspicious vehicles.


    The owner of one of the suspicious vehicles is exactly this Reginald Ruben.


    But his image did not match the thief Zachary said, so Mona looked up Reginald Reuben''s personal situation.


    Reginald Ruben''s wife, surnamed Smith, is white. His wife has a younger brother who is just 30 years old this year and has short black hair. "


    "Good job!"


    Seeing the photo of Reginald Ruben''s brother-in-law in Roan''s laptop, Levi patted Roan''s shoulder vigorously, gave Mona a satisfied look, and asked loudly:


    "Where does Reginald Ruben''s brother-in-law live now? What about personal information?"


    Glanced at Mona and Roan with complicated eyes, the technical agents of the No. 2 investigation team lowered their heads and tapped on the keyboard, and soon found the suspect''s personal information:


    "Kayden Smith, 30 years old this year.


    After he became an adult, he spent most of his time in and out of mental hospitals, and is currently wanted for setting fire to the mansion of a famous Hollywood star, uh����


    Speaking of this, the technical agent stopped for some reason, and team leader Owen frowned, and said loudly:


    "What''s wrong? Keep talking!"


    The technical agent swallowed, and continued to read:


    "According to the information in the mental hospital, Cayden Smith stated that his idol is John Hinckley, and praised him as "a real man who dares to give everything for love. ""


    "What?"


    "What did you say?"


    Hearing the name John Hinckley, except for Roan, everyone in the office area of ??the No. 2 investigation team changed their faces drastically.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 230： the smiling federal president

    Chapter 230 The Laughing Federal President


    FBI Los Angeles Branch, Investigation Team No. 2, office area.


    Hearing the technical agent say the name John Hinckley, the faces of everyone in the room seemed to have opened a dyeing workshop, with red, green, purple and black in various colors.


    John Hinckley, born in 1955, was famous throughout the Federation for his assassination of Federal President Reagan in 1981.


    Under normal circumstances, the assassination of the president is either for political purposes, or for personal hatred or interests.


    But John Hinckley is different. His purpose of assassinating the president is to become famous, so as to attract and pursue a well-known Hollywood actress, Jodie Foster.


    After learning the truth, the entire Federation was in an uproar. Jodie Foster''s acting career was suspended for many years and she refused to express any opinions.


    But because his father was very rich, although John assassinated the president, he was not sentenced to death in the end, but was only admitted to a mental hospital.


    The issue of whether John Hinckley is mentally ill has been debated in the Federation for many years.


    But now everyone in the office area of ??the No. 2 investigation team can be sure of another thing, that is, Cayden Smith, who is more diligent in getting in and out of the mental hospital than going home, must be mentally ill.


    In addition, Cayden Smith said that his idol is John Hinckley, so the agents of the No. 2 investigation team looked at each other and instantly came to the same conclusion:


    This guy has the possibility of assassinating the current President Bush!


    "I will report this immediately!"


    Levi''s and Wallita also came to this conclusion, so they took out their mobile phones and called Washington without saying a word.


    "So, where has Kayden-Smith lived since leaving the mental institution?"


    At this moment, Roan on the side suddenly raised his hand. After successfully attracting everyone''s attention, he said loudly:


    "The other party stole three bombs, and the bomb maker Thomas has not been dead for too long, so we have a high probability of finding him in California!"


    "Yeah!"


    "That''s right!"


    Hearing Roan''s words, Levi''s and Team Leader Owen also reacted, and hurriedly turned their attention to the technical agent of the No. 2 investigation team.


    Before the technical agent of the No. 2 investigation team answered, Mona, who had already taken back the laptop from Roan, replied loudly:


    "According to information such as federal social security and credit card consumption records, Cayden Smith is now living with her sister''s family! Their house address is in South Los Angeles!"


    "..."


    Team leader Owen and the others in Lucerne froze when they heard the words. Just as they were about to speak, a technical agent not far away suddenly raised his hand and said loudly:


    "I just found traces of the car driven by Cayden Smith in a street surveillance camera in northern Los Angeles!"


    "Good job!"


    "Good job!"


    Lucerne, Jack and others immediately smiled and applauded, then turned to look at Team Leader Owen and said:


    "We set out immediately to arrest Cayden Smith!"


    Leader Owen nodded:


    "The opponent has a bomb in his hand, remember to call SWAT for support!"


    "clear!"


    Received the affirmative order, Lucerne immediately turned around and rushed into the equipment warehouse with Jack and Evie.


    Roan thought about it and said:


    "Then I''ll lead Ryder and the others to Caden Smith''s sister''s house, maybe there will be some gains."


    "OK."


    The two of Levi''s nodded, and Team Leader Owen added:


    ��Call for help immediately if you encounter a dangerous situation.��


    "OK."


    Roan agreed to come down, took Mona and the three into the equipment warehouse to replenish some equipment, and then left the building of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch with Lucerne and others going south and north.


    The SUV was speeding forward on the streets of Los Angeles. Ryder sat in the back seat to recharge his batteries. Lacey sat next to Ryder and stared out the window. Los Angeles is relatively hot, and there are many beauties showing their arms and legs on the street. .


    Mona sat on the co-pilot and continued typing on the keyboard, while asking in a low voice:


    "Roan, why are we going to Kayden-Smith''s sister''s house? Wasn''t it good to arrest Kayden-Smith with Lucerne just now?"


    Mona is a little unhappy. She feels that the credit belongs to the No. 5 investigation team and may be taken away by Lucerne and the others.


    Turning the steering wheel to easily overtake several cars, Roan replied with a smile:


    "Let''s go to Kayden Smith''s sister''s house, there is a high probability that we can find out who Kayden Smith wants to kill with the bomb."


    Lacey in the back seat of the car asked:


    "Isn''t the President of the Federation?"


    "The president is only a possibility, but the odds are not great."


    Roan shook his head, expressing that if he wanted to assassinate the president, using a bomb was not a good way. Those guys from the Secret Service were not for nothing, and they would carefully check the venue where the president was going every time.


    The best way to assassinate is actually to take an unexpected shot with a gun.


    On this point, the president who always laughs and has a big brain has the right to speak.


    Kayden-Smith is indeed mentally ill, but judging from the method and behavior of killing Thomas, he is not a fool, it is impossible not to think of this.


    After listening to Roan''s analysis, Mona and Lacey were just about to continue asking questions, but the SUV had already arrived at the target location, so the two swallowed the question, checked the equipment briefly, and quickly approached Cayden-Smith in groups of two. The spacious one-story house of my sister''s house.


    Lacey and Ryder took a brief look at the back of the bungalow, and found that several rooms were extremely quiet.


    But Mona and Roan in front of the bungalow found that the window in the kitchen of the house was not closed.


    At the same time, Roan also smelled a very strong smell of blood coming from the kitchen.


    "Shit!"


    Roan''s face changed, and he immediately pressed the contactor:


    "Break down now! Quickly check every room!"


    "OK!"


    Boom��


    After the voice fell, Ryder immediately kicked open the back door of the bungalow, and Roan also kicked the front door of the bungalow into pieces.


    Mona, who was walking behind Roan, twitched her eyes when she saw this scene, but still quickly checked each room with a pistol.


    Roan took the Glock 18 and went straight to the kitchen, and soon saw two corpses, one big and one small, a man and a woman, who had been shot several times in the chest and head, and the blood on the ground had already solidified.


    The male deceased had long hair and was of Latin American race. Roan recognized at a glance that he was Cayden Smith''s brother-in-law, Reginald Ruben.


    The female deceased was a little girl who looked less than ten years old. She looked somewhat similar to Reginald Ruben in appearance, and was most likely Reginald Ruben''s daughter.


    Soon, Ryder and Mona came over after inspecting each room, and when they saw the two corpses on the ground, they turned ugly and cursed.


    "Fu-k!"


    "Sonof than eat!"


    "Ryder, quickly contact Team Leader Owen and ask him to send the trace inspection department in Los Angeles to check whether the bullets in the two corpses and the bullet that killed Thomas came from the same pistol."


    Ryder nodded and turned to make a phone call. Roan looked back at Mona and continued:


    "Also, what''s the situation with Kayden-Smith''s sister now? Can you get in touch?"


    Mona took a deep breath, strode out of the kitchen and walked outside to the SUV, her computer was in the co-pilot:


    "Let me try."


    When Mona walked out of the bungalow, Lacey''s voice suddenly came from the basement:


    "Roan! I found something here!"


    "OK."


    Stepping on the wooden stairs and slowly walking into the dark basement, Roan casually took away a waiter''s clothing that was thrown on the handrail. At this time, Lacey not far away was holding a flashlight and pointing at the wall in front of him. Some stiff:


    "Roan, you guessed right, Cayden Smith''s goal is indeed not the federal president."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 231： next blast site

    Chapter 231 Next explosion site


    In the dark basement, the deepest part is a room specially isolated by wooden boards.


    Roan walked into the room quickly, followed Lacey''s guidance and cast his eyes on the wall.


    There is a whiteboard hanging on the wall, and there are a lot of stills of some handsome male characters in movies or TV series hanging on the whiteboard.


    In addition, on the back of the whiteboard are pictures of two elderly white males named Bowen and Sheamus.


    ��They are members of a well-known government in the Los Angeles area, and they are all ultra-conservative.��


    Lacey took out a few newspaper cutouts from the bedside table, which contained the political ideas they had put forward:


    Oppose female abortion, even if it is strong or chaotic.


    Support the right to hold guns, and people in public places also have the right to carry guns.


    Oppose same-sex faces, think it is a mental illness, and strongly recommend that they be locked up in a mental hospital.


    In addition to this, they have other claims, mainly related to little boys, little girls and some Liantong personnel.


    Just recently, these two people have handed over these proposals. Except for the fourth point, the rest of the propositions have attracted a lot of messages of abuse and threats to their lives, including opposition from several Hollywood actors with same-sex faces voice.


    One of the more well-known gay-faced actor''s stills and life photos was pasted in the center of the whiteboard, and there were some incomprehensible white substances on it.


    Lacey also found a half-written threatening letter from Kayden-Smith in the bedside cabinet, which she found unsatisfactory. Part of the content said that two congressmen would be killed.


    "OK."


    Seeing the grease, black shoulder straps and other things that Lacey found under the bed, Roan, who had figured out Kayden''s orientation, felt a little hot, and hurriedly left the room with Lacey, saying at the same time:


    "It seems that Caden Smith''s target is these two congressmen. By the way, the treatment records of the mental hospital show that Caden Smith has tendencies such as violence, paranoia, and delusions, right?"


    "Exactly."


    Lacey nodded, with a complicated expression on her face.


    After all, she is Lesbian, and the proposal of those two congressmen made her feel very uncomfortable.


    Thinking that Caden Smith''s idol is John Sinkley, and thinking about the remarks made by the two same-sex male actors just now, Roan roughly guessed Caden Smith''s motive.


    As soon as the two walked out of the basement, Mona came up holding the notebook and said:


    "I just contacted Kayden-Smith''s sister. She is fine and is currently rushing home. It is expected to take 30 minutes."


    Hearing this, Lacey was overjoyed, and then heaved a long sigh.


    According to the data in Mona''s computer, the reason why Cayden Smith was in and out of the mental hospital was because of his sister.


    Sometimes the sister believed that Kayden-Smith had recovered and took him home. When Kayden-Smith made her angry, her sister sent Kayden-Smith back to the mental hospital.


    Some time ago, my sister once again felt that Cayden-Smith had recovered and brought him home, but now my sister was unharmed because of going to work, but her husband and daughter all died unexpectedly...


    Ryder next to him came over and said that the trace inspection department would be there in five minutes. Roan nodded, and handed the photos and names of the two congressmen he found just now to Mona, saying:


    "Quickly look up the recent itineraries of these two people, where they will go, and whether there is a chance of appearing in a certain place at the same time."


    "OK!"


    Mona walked towards the SUV again with her laptop in her arms, when Roan''s cell phone rang suddenly.


    The other end of the phone is Levi''s, press the answer button:


    "Roan, Lucerne just failed."


    Levis said that ten minutes ago in Lucerne they successfully led two teams of SWAT and blocked the two cars under an abandoned viaduct.


    But the driver of the car was not Caden Smith, but a ragged, skinny white woman with many ulcers on her body.


    The other party said that she picked up the car on the side of the road and planned to sell it on the black market.


    She doesn''t know who Cayden Smith is. The woman has never seen the black package, nor is it in the car.


    Speaking of this, Levi''s tone was a little stiff, but he still suppressed his discomfort and asked kindly:


    "How is it, Roan, have you gained anything here?"


    After listening to Levi''s narration, both Monaresi and Ryder raised the corners of their mouths uncontrollably, and Roan''s brows also raised slightly, but there was no abnormal tone in his mouth, and he explained:


    "We did make some discoveries."


    After briefly describing what he and Lacey found in the basement, Roan concluded:


    "Kayden Smith''s target is, with a high probability, the two congressmen Bowen and Sheamus. Mona is looking for the situation where they will appear together next time. There is a high probability that it will be the location of the next explosion."


    After listening to Roan''s narration, the eyes of Levi''s and Walita in the office area of ??the No. 2 investigation team suddenly lit up, while Team Leader Owen frowned.


    Praised Mona a few words loudly, and Levi''s immediately told the news to the technical agents of the No. 2 investigation team and asked them to investigate with Mona.


    With the addition of the technical agents of the No. 2 investigation team, the speed of troubleshooting the error message was faster. Not long after, one of the agents raised his hand and said loudly:


    "I found the time and place where the two congressmen, Bowen and Sheamus, appeared at the same time recently!"


    Levi''s and Wallita quickly raised their heads and asked loudly:


    "When? Where?"


    The phone did not hang up, and Roan on the other end listened carefully.


    "Fran?ois, one of the leaders of Sony Corporation''s Columbia Pictures, held a coming-of-age ceremony for his daughter at twelve o''clock today at a large villa in Beverly Hills."


    Technical agent quickly said:


    "Bowen and Sheamus, the two councilors, are very close to Francois and are old friends of Francois, so they both received invitations to this banquet.


    In addition, according to the banquet process I found, Mr. Himos will also give a speech for the banquet at the very beginning of the banquet. "


    "Fu-k!"


    Picking up the watch and seeing that the current time is 10:53, Levi yelled at him immediately, and hurriedly turned to Team Leader Owen and said:


    ��Immediately send someone to the scene to evacuate people.��


    "Sorry, sir."


    Levi''s voice fell, but Team Leader Owen did not take action immediately, but whispered with embarrassment:


    "Mr. Francois held the coming-of-age ceremony for his daughter today, and the director of our branch also attended, so..."


    "So unless stronger direct evidence is found, if this is just a coincidence or a false alarm, the next situation may be quite troublesome, right?"


    Wolita picked up what Team Leader Owen had left to say in a cold voice, and then turned her gaze to Levi''s.


    Levi''s face was very ugly, just about to say something, the phone in his hand suddenly rang the sound of the car igniting, and the car started to move forward at a high speed.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan''s voice came from the phone:


    "Sir, I found a waiter''s clothes in the basement earlier. The style of this waiter''s clothes is exactly the same as the style of the waiter''s clothes in the banquet held by Francois.


    In addition, Mona found out that Kayden-Smith''s sister works in a catering company, and this catering company is the catering company that contracted Francois''s banquet. "


    "...nice job, Roanne. Mona, you''re awesome too!"


    Praising the phone loudly, Levi''s then hung up the phone and shook the phone:


    "Leader Owen, do you have any questions?"


    "Sorry, no more."


    Leader Owen gave a wry smile, and immediately took out his mobile phone to start contacting and went to the banquet site to evacuate the crowd.


    At this time, the time has reached 11:08.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 232： Two bombs!

    Chapter 232 Two bombs!


    Beverly Hills, a city within a city, the most expensive residence is located on the hilly land in the north. It gathers Hollywood movie stars, NBA basketball stars, famous artists and millionaires from all over the world. It ranks No. 1 among the ten richest areas in the Federation one.


    At this time, in a huge two-story villa, a large group of people in the kitchen were frantically preparing food, and in the hall and other rooms, many luxuriously dressed men and women were holding wine glasses, chatting together in twos and threes, and dozens of waiters shuttled among them with trays .


    Because the host of this banquet is one of the well-known leaders of Columbia Pictures, the members who participated in this banquet included not only well-known Hollywood stars, leaders of the Los Angeles government, local congressmen, and even some well-known big companies from Wall Street in New York. the person in charge.


    Besides, this is a coming-of-age ceremony after all, so there are also classmates and family members of Francois''s daughter, and these people are either rich or expensive.


    It was 11:38 when Roan and the three of Mona arrived here from the south of Los Angeles in a crazy racing car. Lucerne and Owen of the investigation team No. Just arrived here with the SWAT operatives.


    Open the door and quickly get out of the car, Lucerne and Jack of the No. 2 investigation team subconsciously turned to look at Roan and the others.


    Who is Cayden-Smith''s real target, and how other clues were found, Team Leader Owen has already told them.


    This made the expressions of Lucerne, Jack, Evie, and Hayes, who had wasted a lot of effort, very complicated, including jealousy, hesitation, gratitude, suspicion and so on.


    "FBI! Emergency!"


    Roan didn''t bother to care about these four people. The most urgent task now is to find the bomb as soon as possible.


    So after Roan got out of the car, he nodded with Levi''s, and immediately took Mona to the monitoring room of the villa, took out a golden badge to show his identity, and drove the security personnel aside, and then said:


    "Mona, quickly connect to the monitoring system of this villa, and hurry up to find the location where Cayden Smith hid the bomb!"


    "OK!"


    Mona took out the data cable to connect the laptop with the monitoring equipment, and then started typing on the keyboard frantically.


    At the same time, the agents of the No. 2 investigation team had entered the hall of the villa and began to evacuate the crowd loudly.


    "Everyone! I am Luzerne, a senior special agent of the FBI, please don''t panic!


    Now we need everyone to line up to leave this villa in an orderly manner and go to the open space in front, thank you! "


    Jack and Evie on the side waved again and again:


    "Come on, everyone! You heard me! This is not a request!"


    "What?"


    "What happened?"


    "what happened?"


    "What are you people talking about?"


    Lucerne''s voice fell, and the men and women in the villa looked at each other, and they immediately started to shout.


    Among them, the classmates of Francois''s daughter who came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony raised questions loudly, insisting on asking why, otherwise they would not leave no matter what.


    Faced with the questioning of these men and women, Jack and the others were all overwhelmed. In the end, Levi''s walked in quickly and successfully found the director who came to this banquet. After revealing his identity, he whispered to him and began to briefly describe the current situation. .


    On the other side, in the back kitchen of the villa, Ryder and Lacey had already changed into suits. While evacuating the crowd, they carefully observed each waiter quietly, trying to find Cayden Smith.


    In the monitoring room, Roan folded his arms around his chest, and Mona quickly found the current location of Cayden Smith and the place where he hid the bomb:


    "Fifteen minutes ago, Cayden Smith walked into the basement on the east side of the villa with a backpack.


    After he came out from the basement, the black backpack disappeared!


    In addition, surveillance shows that Cayden Smith is wearing a waiter''s costume on the stairs at this time, and is walking towards the hall! "


    "Good job!"


    Roan immediately pressed the communicator, informed Ryder and Lacey of Cayden Smith''s whereabouts, and at the same time pulled up the bomb disposal experts who had been waiting for a long time and rushed to the basement, followed by Mona.


    Received Roan''s order, Ryder and Lacey immediately left the kitchen and rushed to the stairs.


    The head of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch in the lobby, when he heard Levi''s saying that there was a bomb here, his face twitched, and then he hurriedly suppressed the fear in his heart, raised his hand and loudly showed his identity, and finally said:


    "Everyone! Leave this villa immediately! Go!"


    Seeing that the director of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch had spoken, everyone in the hall immediately turned pale, and hurriedly dropped their wine glasses and ran out of the villa.


    On the stairs, Ryder and Lacey had already seen Caden-Smith at this time, but they were still some distance away from each other, so Lacey immediately pressed the communicator and said to Agent Jack on the other end of the communicator:


    "I''m Lacey, pay attention to the stairs, Cayden Smith will appear soon, arrest him immediately!"


    "OK!"


    Hearing this, Agent Jack narrowed his eyes slightly, put aside the work of evacuating the crowd, and quickly led his colleague Hayes to ambush to the side of the stairs.


    Cayden Smith, disguised as a male waiter, walked out of the stairs with a tray, and saw the men and women in the hall, under the command of the FBI, all walking quickly to the open space outside the gate of the villa, and suddenly looked suspicious.


    The next second, Agent Jack immediately jumped out from the side and kicked Cayden-Smith to the ground. Agent Hayes next to him also rushed up when he saw this, took out the handcuffs and handcuffed him.


    "..."


    Seeing the FBI text on Jack and Hayes, Cayden Smith remained expressionless, as if he didn''t care about being caught.


    At this moment, the scene at the top of the stairs caught the attention of a classmate of Francois''s daughter, and she asked loudly:


    "Mr. Detective, what is going on?"


    Kaden Smith, who was tightly pressed to the ground, heard this and replied with a big smile:


    "Because I put fried here...!"


    Agents Jack and Hayes changed their faces greatly when they heard this, but Lacey who rushed to the stairs didn''t hesitate, and immediately took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Caden-Smith''s mouth, blocking his last words.


    But the "bo" in front of the word "bomb" was still heard by the female student, who immediately covered her mouth and screamed:


    "Bomb? That word he just said was bomb? Right?!"


    It doesn''t matter if it''s right or not. The second after the female classmate said the word "bomb", there was still order, and the hall that left orderly was quiet for a while, and then everyone shouted and screamed in an instant, making a mess At the same time, everyone frantically ran towards the open space outside the villa.


    Several women were pushed to the ground by the crazy crowd and trampled on, trying to maintain order. Wallita cursed immediately when she saw this, and the light in Levi''s eyes was even colder and frightening. She wanted to kill Detective Jack and Detective Hayes on the spot. member.


    Agent Jack and Agent Hayes looked bitter. Lacey and Ryder glanced at each other and patted their shoulders. They must be optimistic about Cayden-Smith, and immediately left the stairs and ran to maintain order.


    Glared at Jack and Hayes fiercely, shaking them all in fright, Levi took a deep breath, saw that the time was already 11:44, pressed the communicator hastily, and asked:


    "Roan! What''s going on with you? What''s going on with the three bombs?"


    "We''ve found the bomb, but there''s a little problem."


    In the basement of the villa, Roan and Mona held flashlights, their faces very ugly.


    They did find the bomb, but in the black package, there were only two.


    The remaining one is not in the basement at all.


    Not only that, the explosion time designed on the bomb is not 12:00 as they imagined, but 11:50.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 233： Mona: Roan! ! Jump! ! !

    Chapter 233 Mona: Roan! Jump! !


    "What did you say?"


    When Roan said that there were only two bombs in the basement, and that the explosion time was not 12:00, but 11:50, Levi''s face turned green.


    Less than 6 minutes left!


    Regardless of maintaining order in the hall and rescuing the trampled personnel, Reeves hurriedly ran to Cayden Smith, who was being held by Agents Jack and Hayes, and pulled out the rag Lacey stuffed in his mouth , asked angrily:


    "Where did you put that lone bomb?"


    "Hahaha��"


    Kayden-Smith laughed loudly when he saw this, not only did not answer Levi''s question, but shouted loudly:


    "Run, there is a bomb in the villa!"


    Hearing this, the order of the crowd in the villa hall became even more chaotic.


    "Fu-k!"


    Levi''s eyes were red, and under the surprised eyes of Jack and Hayes, he punched Cayden Smith hard in the face, and then pressed the communicator, his tone was very urgent:


    "Roan, do you have any clues?"


    At this time, Levi''s had already left the detectives of the No. 2 investigation team behind. He has now understood that this group of people has average ability and average level of solving crimes, and sometimes they even do bad things.


    If I really want to successfully solve the case or solve the problem, I have to find the No. 5 investigation team led by Luo An at the critical moment.


    In the basement, each member of the bomb disposal team had a flashlight on their head, squatting in front of the two bombs and busy quickly.


    After discovering that one of the bombs was missing, Roan immediately asked Mona to run back to the monitoring room to carefully check all the behaviors of Cayden Smith in the villa today, then turned his attention to the bomb disposal team and asked:


    "How? Are you sure?"


    "Of course, the structure of this bomb is not particularly complicated, and it can be done in three minutes."


    The leader of the bomb disposal team chuckled and said:


    "Relax, man, welcome to our world."


    One bomb takes three minutes. Although there are two bombs here, the bomb disposal team has six people, which can be dismantled at the same time.


    Roan nodded, it seems that the two bombs are all right, the most urgent thing is to quickly find another bomb.


    Hearing Levi''s question in the communicator, Roan frowned:


    "Sorry, sir, I don''t have any clues here, but I have asked Mona to go to the monitoring room to investigate all of Cayden Smith''s whereabouts."


    "OK."


    Levi''s gritted his molars and nodded, indicating that Kayden-Smith, who was caught by Agent Jack, had a very hard mouth and said nothing.


    Hearing that Cayden Smith had been captured, Roan''s expression didn''t change.


    But after listening to Kayden-Smith''s expression and attitude when he was arrested, and Kayden-Smith''s behavior of yelling that there was a bomb twice, Roan suddenly thought of something, suddenly slapped his hands, turned around and rushed towards the basement with a serious face shouted:


    "Sir, let the guests stay away from the open space in front of the villa immediately! There may be a problem with that open space!"


    "What?"


    Levi''s expression was a bit puzzled, but he quickly gave an order to the SWAT team members outside the villa to get everyone out of there, and then hurriedly ran towards the outside of the villa, and at the same time asked:


    "Why do you say that?"


    Roan smashed the window of the villa and jumped out. While running to the parking lot not far away, he said that Cayden Smith had no emotion when he was arrested, as if he realized that the FBI would come.


    At the same time, after being arrested, Cayden Smith shouted twice that there was a bomb in the villa. In addition to the possibility that he likes to see people panic, another possibility is that Cayden Smith also wanted to drive everyone to the open space.


    According to the banquet arrangement, there are many tables, chairs and benches in that open space, the purpose is for the guests to eat there after the coming-of-age ceremony.


    At the same time, when everyone is eating, a group of musicians will accompany them, and there are many musical instruments placed there.


    If Cayden-Smith had guessed that the FBI might be here and hid a bomb in the dining area as a backup plan, then��


    Kayden-Smith is indeed a psychopath, but judging from his killing Thomas, killing his brother-in-law and sister''s daughter, and using his sister''s work to help him, this guy obviously has his own set of behavioral logic.


    This set of behavioral logic is more paranoid and violent, and at the same time not very legal, and not very in line with the values ??of the world.


    "Roan, you are right!"


    As soon as Luo An finished speaking, Mona''s eager voice came from the communicator:


    "The monitoring records show that Cayden Smith took a black package to that area when he was arranging the tables and chairs!"


    "I found the black package!"


    After Mona''s voice fell, Levi''s found a black package under the stage prepared for the musicians.


    Unzip the zipper, and there is a black and red bomb inside.


    The countdown above is the same as the countdown of the two bombs in the villa, they are both designed to be 11:50.


    Levi''s face was green and purple, and there were still 1:37 seconds before the bomb exploded.


    But all the bomb disposal experts were in the basement, and there was no time.


    And the bomb exploded last time, successfully blowing up an entire floor of the charity party venue.


    Judging from the scale of the explosion, all the guests and related service personnel in this open space were included in the radius of the bomb explosion.


    A terrified Hollywood actress managed to get out of the villa, and was about to go to the back of the stage to have a urinate, but at the moment when she saw the red TNT in Levi''s hand, the actress turned pale instantly, and couldn''t hold back on the spot Opened the valve.


    But the female star couldn''t care less about running water at this time, she ran away from the back of the stage, screaming hoarsely at the same time:


    "Run! There are bombs here too!"


    "God!"


    "Help!"


    "What the **** is going on today?"


    Hearing the female star''s yelling, the guests and service staff in the open space became a mess again.


    Boom boom boom��


    At this moment, a black Lamborghini sports car rushed over from a distance like lightning.


    A beautiful flick hit the stage, Roan opened the co-pilot door of the sports car, and yelled at Levi''s:


    "Give me the bomb!"


    At this time, Mona, Ryder, and Lacey were also within the explosion radius of the bomb.


    Roan''s voice was a little loud, instantly attracting the attention of all the guests in the open space.


    At this time, there were 54 seconds before the bomb exploded. Levi, who understood Roan''s thoughts, hurriedly put the bomb on the co-pilot. Just as he was about to speak, Roan kicked the accelerator and drove the Lamborghini out.


    Seeing the back of the Lamborghini rushing out like black lightning, many female guests and service staff heaved a long sigh of relief, and felt their thighs go weak, and sat down on the grass.


    More guests and service staff were staring at the back of the Lamborghini. Although they had never seen the detective driving, they all clasped their hands together and prayed for Roan nervously.


    Ryder and Lacey in the clearing saw this and shouted loudly:


    "Roan! Are you dying? Jump out of the car!"


    With 49 seconds left, Levi''s and Wallita also yelled:


    "Roan! Jump in the car! This is an order!"


    Roan glanced at the bomb next to him, then at the system page, raised his brows, and stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom.


    There are 40 seconds left.


    Mona in the monitoring room hugged the laptop screen tightly, stared at the surveillance video with red eyes, and shouted:


    "Roan! Jump out of the car!!"


    Seeing that there were 35 seconds left in the time, Roan took out an iron rod and stuck the Lamborghini''s accelerator, then took out the quick potion, hemostatic potion and analgesic potion from the system page and drank them all, and finally opened the car door and jumped out .


    Rolled on the ground for a few laps, without hesitation, Roan immediately got up and ran in the opposite direction of the Lamborghini.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 234： roan nearly killed by ryder

    Chapter 234 Roan who was almost killed by Ryder


    Bilever Hills.


    On the road in a large villa area, a Lamborghini sports car with its accelerator stuck was driving forward at high speed. On its co-pilot, there was a bomb with a flashing red light, and the time on it was less than 30 seconds.


    The camera shifts to the opposite direction of the Lamborghini, and a man wearing an FBI jacket is running fast.


    Because of the blessing of the swift potion, Roan''s running speed was astonishing, and he quickly opened up a large distance from running out.


    The open space in front of the villa in the distance was unusually quiet at this time. Many guests, service personnel, Levi''s, Wallita, the director of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch, etc., were all staring at the running figure in the distance. There was a sign of the cross in front of them, and some people folded their hands and prayed silently. The only thing in common was that all of these people were extremely nervous.


    "Come on! Roan!"


    "Run! Roan! Run!"


    At the same time, Ryder was leading three SWAT team members to run towards Roan at high speed. They held explosion-proof shields in their hands, preparing to provide protection for Roan when the bomb exploded.


    Lamborghini didn''t run too far, and hit the wall of this villa area, and was buried by bricks and stones.


    Thirty seconds passed in a flash, and as the red number on the co-pilot returned to zero, a more dazzling red light also lit up inside the Lamborghini.


    Boom��


    A deafening explosion sounded suddenly, and the Lamborghini and the bricks that fell on the car were instantly blown into pieces, and then a small black and gray mushroom rose up.


    One second before the bomb exploded, Roan ran two-thirds of the distance at an astonishing speed, and successfully joined Ryder and three SWAT players.


    "Roan! Get down!"


    Ryder roared, without any hesitation, he immediately pinned Roan under him.


    The next second after the sound of the explosion, a terrifying shock wave directly knocked the three SWAT players holding the explosion-proof shields to the ground.


    The crowd standing in the open space not far away was also staggered backwards by the shock wave. Many of the women sat on the ground or fell backwards. At the same time, the glass of the villa beside them all shattered into pieces. fell down.


    The fragments from the bomb explosion completely shattered the surveillance on the villa. Mona in the surveillance room couldn''t see the situation clearly, so she immediately dropped her laptop and ran out of the surveillance room. She pressed the communicator and shouted:


    "Roan! Answer me! Ryder! Did you get it? Answer me! What''s going on now?"


    The communicator was switched to public release at this time, and Levi''s, Lacey and all other FBI people could hear it, and they all waited for the response from Roan and Ryder.


    "We''re fine."


    Put aside the shield that was covered with gravel on the surface, Roan, who only had a few wounds on his arm, patted Ryder''s thigh, pressed the communicator, and said with a smile:


    "The explosion didn''t kill me, but Ryder nearly crushed me."


    "Yeah!"


    "marvelous!"


    "Thank God!"


    Hearing Luo An''s unhurried voice in the communicator, everyone in the FBI present heaved a long sigh of relief. The guests and service staff in the open space also applauded and cheered loudly when they saw this scene.


    On the other side, Ryder quickly got up, stretched out his hand and pulled Roan up from the ground, and said with a serious face:


    "Your action this time is too dangerous, Roan."


    "Isn''t it all right?"


    Luo An chuckled, patted the dust off his body, and walked towards the open space in front of the villa, explaining:


    "And you, Lacey, Mona, SWAT team members, and other FBI agents were also within the explosion radius of this bomb just now. Time is running out, and there is really no time to discuss it before formulating a plan."


    "But��"


    Ryder wanted to say something more, but Roan, who saw Mona running towards him in the distance, patted him on the shoulder and strode over.


    Against the background of black and gray mushrooms and blazing orange flames, Roan, who had just saved everyone, slowly dripped blood from his arm, but with a smile on his handsome face, he led four team members towards the crowd.


    Everyone in the open space in front of the villa stared at this scene with wide eyes. The picture was so shocking that they would remember it for a lifetime.


    One of the cameramen who was in charge of taking pictures of today''s scene saw this scene comparable to a movie promotional poster, subconsciously raised the camera in his hand and pressed the shutter button.


    When Roan and the others were still some distance away from the open space, Mona also ran up to them.


    Roan smiled, and just stretched out his hands to both sides, ready to give each other a hug, Mona suddenly jumped into Roan''s arms and threw him to the ground.


    "you��"


    Feeling the pain from his buttocks and back, Roan''s mouth twitched, and as soon as he uttered a word, Mona bent down, gritted her teeth and whispered in his ear:


    "Roan, if you dare to do this next time, I will make you lie in bed forever."


    Is this forever in bed serious?


    Roan frowned, and just about to ask a question, Mona turned her head and blocked what Roan wanted to ask with her mouth.


    "..." x4


    Seeing Roan, who was firmly controlled by Mona, lying on the ground and unable to move at all, Ryder and the three SWAT team members looked at each other, shrugged, and continued to walk forward and left here.


    On the open space not far away, the guests, service staff and FBI personnel who were applauding and cheering for Roan saw this scene...


    Their cheers grew louder, and many whistled.


    After all, he is a federal citizen, so he likes to see this kind of pictures of beauties hugging and kissing after the catastrophe.


    The entire open space in front of the villa is full of joyful atmosphere, but one of them is very unhappy, and two people have other emotions besides being happy.


    The one who was extremely unhappy was naturally the murderer Cayden Smith. At this time, he was yelling and struggling frantically, but was quickly knocked down by several SWAT players, and Lacey took out a rag and stuffed it in his mouth again.


    Different from last time, this rag was picked up by Lacey in the trash can just now.


    The remaining two people who are happy and have other emotions are the owner of the Lamborghini sports car and Francois'' daughter.


    The owner of the Lamborghini wanted to cry at this moment. He was a classmate of Francois''s daughter. He begged his father for a long time to get this car in order to participate in this coming-of-age ceremony.


    Turns out he��s been driving it for less than a month, and now the car is a pile of burning debris.


    As for Francois'' daughter Leticia... Today''s banquet was supposed to be her coming-of-age ceremony, and the sudden bomb incident made her terrified and extremely angry.


    At the moment when Roan snatched the bomb to save everyone and returned successfully, Leticia looked at Roan''s handsome face with her hands folded in front of her chest, and felt that Roan was definitely the knight sent by heaven to save her.


    But in the next second, Roan was thrown to the ground by Mona, and Leticia''s originally blurred eyes widened instantly, and the sound of glass breaking suddenly came from the bottom of her heart...


    Unaware that they just shattered the fantasy of a rich girl, Roan and Mona kissed for a moment, looked at each other, licked their lips, and finally stood up separately.


    Levi''s and the director of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch saw this and finally walked over.


    But faster than Levi''s and the others is the owner of this villa, Francois.


    "Hello, Deputy Team Leader Greenwood."


    "Hello, Monsieur Francois."


    Roan extended his hand and shook hands with the other party. After expressing his thanks to Roan, Francois asked a question with a smile on his face:


    "I don''t know if Deputy Team Leader Greenwood is interested in adapting the movie?"


    Roan: "?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 235： Harvest afterwards and the second half of life is free forever!

    Chapter 235 Harvest afterward and the second half of life is free forever!


    Hearing what Francois said, Roan was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered the identity of the other party. He was one of the well-known leaders of Columbia Pictures.


    Roan didn''t have much thought about adapting his experience into a movie, just...


    "There are many details in this case, Monsieur Francois."


    Mona left here and went back to the monitoring room to get the computer. Roan glanced at her back and said with a smile:


    "I''m afraid it''s not up to me, the deputy head of the investigation team."


    "These are just minor obstacles!"


    Mr. Francois laughed after listening to Roan''s words, and waved his big hand to indicate that it was a trivial matter.


    It happened that Levi''s and the director of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch also came over, and Francois directly put forward his own ideas and Roan''s difficulties.


    Five hours later, after treating the wound on his arm, Roan successfully sold his case-solving experience in the past few days at a price of 1.83 million US dollars after tax.


    In the 2005 adaptation of a Hollywood live-action story, the highest authorized price was only $1 million, but Roan successfully broke this rule.


    Of course, the two sides also signed a lot of agreements.


    Among them, Luo An''s most important requirement is that when Columbia Pictures shoots this movie, the appearance of the male lead must not be much lower than his own.


    Columbia Pictures lawyer: ������


    According to the agreement, the 1.83 million US dollars belonged to Roan alone, and Mr. Francois also paid another 570,000 US dollars to other investigators in this case.


    Not only that, Francois also listed Roan as a lifetime VIP of Columbia Pictures. Not only can he receive gifts at various festivals in the Federation, but as long as it is a movie shot by Columbia Pictures, Roan can enter for free.


    That night, Roan grinned and smiled, holding a check for 1.83 million US dollars, and moved into the temporary apartment prepared by the FBI''s Los Angeles branch for their No. 5 investigation team.


    The reason why Luo An is so happy is not only because of the $1.83 million and lifetime VIP.


    The father of the Lamborghini owner who was crashed by him is one of the major shareholders of the well-known Hilton Hotel in the Federation.


    When Luo An went to express his apology, the other party kicked his son who wanted to speak aside, waved his big hand to express that there was no need to apologize, and the FBI did not need to compensate, and then gave Luo An a gold card, saying that as long as Luo An was in the federal territory Stay at Hilton Hotel, the second half of your life will be free forever!


    The other bigwig guests at the banquet also gave Roan a lot of lifetime discount cards, which almost included Roan''s basic necessities for the rest of his life.


    Not only that, Roan also got a group photo and signed photos of Hollywood male and female stars participating in the banquet, including Will Ferrell; Johnny Depp; Ray Romano; Will Smith; Quayle; Tom Cruise; Denzel Washington; Matt Damon; Jennifer Aniston; Nicole Kidman; Cameron Diaz; Naomi Watts��


    Luo An doesn''t chase stars, but the signed photos of these stars are very valuable, so after returning to the temporary apartment, he bought a photo album and organized them all.


    The case came to an end here. After listening to Roan''s report, Vernis from New York first praised Roan''s workmanship, reprimanded him for working too hard, and finally ordered him in a low voice to never do such a thing again in the future. After that, he waved his hand and gave Luo An and the others a four-day holiday.


    "Long live!"


    In the apartment, after Roan hung up the phone to announce the holiday, Ryder looked at Roan gratefully, and Lacey immediately raised her hands and jumped up:


    "Thank you so much Roan! I love you!"


    Of the 570,000 US dollars paid by Francois, Mona received 120,000 US dollars, and Ryder and Lacey both received 70,000 US dollars.


    Seeing the light in Lacey''s eyes, Roan frowned and said with a smile:


    "It seems that you don''t plan to come back tonight."


    "Exactly!"


    Lacey ran back to her room, changed into a nightclub exclusive style suit in the blink of an eye, and laughed loudly:


    ��I love California! Every girl here is passionate and unrestrained, it��s heaven!��


    After finishing speaking, Lacey opened the door of the apartment like a gust of wind and rushed out.


    Mona closed the door speechlessly, while Roan turned to look at Ryder, and said with a smile:


    "What about you? Ryder, what are your plans?"


    "I plan to call Yvonne later and ask her to fly here."


    Ryder grinned, gave Roan a bear hug to express his thanks, and then said:


    "I haven''t taken Yvonne on a trip for a long time. This time I got 70,000 US dollars and a four-day vacation. Of course, I will take Yvonne to have fun for four days."


    Mona was sitting on the sofa next to her. Hearing this, she picked up a grape and stuffed it into her mouth and nodded. Ryder is indeed a good man who takes care of his family.


    Roan was a little puzzled, tilted his head and asked:


    "Then what about your son?"


    Ryder waved his hand:


    "Yvonne''s younger sister also lives in New York, just let her help take care of it!"


    Roan: "..."


    There are many planes flying from New York to Los Angeles. Four hours later, Yvonne got on the plane to here, and Ryder also ran out of the apartment, and began to plan and find a place for future vacations.


    It was already dark at this time, but the only two people left in the apartment, Roan and Mona, hadn''t had dinner yet.


    Roan thought for a while, found a gold card of a well-known chain restaurant from the thirty or so cards in his wallet, and took Mona to Hermosa Beach Pier.


    Hermosa Beach Pier, located on the coast of Los Angeles, Hermosa Beach, with its soft and delicate sandy beaches and warm climate like spring all year round, attracts many tourists to visit.


    Hamosa Beach Pier is a dating place for couples. Most of the nearby restaurants can see beautiful sea views. Many couples enjoy romantic candlelight dinners here while admiring the sunset and ocean beaches.


    Ding-


    After clinking wine glasses with Mona, Roan took a sip of the red wine, and then began to compete with the charcoal-grilled oysters on the table.


    Seeing Luo An insert a short-bladed oyster knife into the head of the oyster shell, lift off the upper shell, then lift the lower shell, turn the oyster meat over with the knife, and the oyster meat is completely separated from the oyster shell. Na frowned:


    "Roan, you seem to like eating oysters?"


    Swallowing the oyster meat, Roan raised his eyebrows:


    "You know, I need to replenish my body, and I have a big meal waiting for me tonight."


    "snort."


    Swallowing the food in her mouth, Mona gave Roan a blank look.


    After a long silence, she picked up the wine next to her and drank it down, whispering:


    "Roan, promise me that you won''t do such a dangerous thing again, okay?"


    Roan paused, put down the oyster, held Mona''s hand, and said with a serious face:


    "Believe me, Mona, I care about my own life far more than you think."


    In today��s situation, if he didn��t have a system, no potion, and no absolute certainty, Luo An, who had a new life, would have run away early.


    Hearing Roan''s words, Mona''s face was still full of worry:


    "But��"


    "Trust me, Mona."


    Roan got up and moved to Mona, put his arms around her and said:


    "Today''s situation is special, after all, you are also included in the explosion radius of the bomb."


    "..."


    The man delivered a fatal blow, and the woman successfully fell into the man''s arms.


    But half an hour later, in the Hilton Hotel not far from He Maosha Beach, the man was pinned down by the woman again, unable to get up for a long time...


    So throughout the night, the FBI Los Angeles branch and the apartment specially prepared for the No. 5 investigation team were empty.


    Early next morning, Levi''s head was full of black lines after pressing the doorbell for a long time. He took out his mobile phone and called Roan:


    "Roan! You are not in the apartment at all, where did you go? I have very good news for you!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 236： FBI Merit Award

    Chapter 236 FBI Medal of Merit, FBI Medal of Valor


    In the Hilton Hotel not far from Hemaosha Beach, Luo An, who was lying on the big bed, heard the phone ringing, and pressed the answer button in a daze.


    Then he was taken aback by Levi''s yelling on the phone.


    Luo An, who woke up, scratched his head and touched his sore lower back:


    "Good morning, sir, what''s the good news?"


    "..."


    Hearing Roan''s lazy voice on the phone, who obviously just woke up, Levi''s, who had been knocking on the door for a long time in vain and couldn''t find anyone in the early morning, had dissipated a bit of his original excitement.


    But it is good news after all, so Levi cheered up and said loudly:


    "Congratulations, Roan, because of your heroic and outstanding performance in this case, the FBI Washington headquarters has decided to award you the FBI Medal of Merit and the FBI Medal of Valor!"


    "What?"


    As soon as Levi��s finished speaking, Roan hadn��t realized what the medal he was talking about was. Lying beside Roan, Mona, who had just been woken up, exclaimed:


    "FBI Merit Medal and FBI Valor Medal?!"


    Different from Roan, as a native of the Federation, her father is CIA, and Mona, who joined the FBI herself, knows these medals and other information very well.


    As far as she knows, the FBI established the Medal of Honor program in 1989 to recognize the outstanding behavior of FBI agents.


    The program has a total of four medals, namely FBI Star, FBI Medal of Merit, FBI Shield of Courage, and FBI Medal of Valor.


    Among them, the FBI star is awarded for serious injuries caused by direct physical conflict with criminals, injuries caused by weapons, gunshot wounds caused by missions, or serious injuries that require extensive emergency sutures and hospitalization. the behavior of.


    FBI Bravery Shield is awarded for providing significant assistance to special task forces or undercover operations, and for brave acts in major foreign cases that the FBI is responsible for.


    These two medals have nothing to do with Roan. After all, he did not go abroad to perform an undercover mission, nor was he forced to be hospitalized due to serious injuries after the mission was over.


    There are mainly the following two medals related to Roan:


    FBI Medal of Merit (FBI Medal for Meritorious Achievement), awarded in the mission of extreme challenge and great responsibility, in criminal or national security cases, or in the performance of missions to protect or directly save lives.


    The federal government announced that the agent who received this medal was named Harold Bickmore, a retired senior agent.


    He was awarded this meritorious medal for rescuing a 16-year-old girl who was out of breath and bleeding profusely at the scene of a traffic accident on a four-lane highway.


    The FBI Medal of Valor (FBI Medal of Valor) recognizes acts of heroism at the expense of personal safety and life, which must have occurred in the direct performance of duties or within the scope of the FBI''s work, and in the face of a criminal adversary .


    The federal government announced that the agent who received this medal was named Robert. When he and three other agents were arresting a fugitive, the fugitive shot at them. Melta risked his life to protect his colleagues, and received the Medal of Valor.


    In this bombing case, Luo An not only led the team to search for clues, found the truth, and caught the murderer, but also took away the terrible bomb alone, saving the service staff, guests and FBI internal agents in the entire villa area.


    After the case ended, Levi''s immediately applied to the FBI Washington headquarters for the FBI Medal of Valor for Roan.


    At the same time, Vernis also applied for the FBI Medal of Merit to the FBI Washington headquarters.


    Because of Roan''s outstanding performance and Mr. Clement''s full support, the FBI headquarters finally made an exception and decided not only to award Roan with the FBI Medal of Bravery, but also with Roan with the FBI Medal of Merit!


    These medals have always been considered to be one of the highest honors bestowed by the FBI, but at this time Roan was alone, and actually won two at the same time!


    After listening to Mona''s introduction, Roan also understood the value of these two medals, and hurriedly got up from the bed and grinned:


    "Thank you sir!"


    "You''re welcome, you deserve it."


    Levi''s, who left the apartment, sat in the car and laughed. If Roan snatched the bomb by himself yesterday and saved so many people with all his life, but couldn''t get the medals, then what''s the use and value of these medals?


    The only thing that Levi''s did not expect was that the headquarters actually decided to award Roan two medals at the same time!


    Many FBI agents have worked for decades without earning one of these medals.


    But thinking of Roan''s heroic performance in solving the case in the past two days, Levi also agrees with the fact that he won two medals at the same time.


    However, thinking that such an outstanding talent as Roan is under Verinisi''s subordinates, and that Roan did not break away from Verinisi''s thoughts and attitudes, Levi''s heart felt bitter, and sour water came out of his mouth. .


    envious! envy!


    After a brief chat with Levi''s, Roan called Vernis again to express his thanks.


    Winning two medals at the same time, Vernis and Mr. Clement behind her must have contributed.


    Otherwise, an ordinary FBI low-level agent with no background can be exceptionally valued by the Washington headquarters?


    Unless he saves the president like in the movie.


    "You deserve it, Roan."


    Verinis''s attitude was the same as Levi''s, and she also said with a smile that Roan''s performance deserved an exception from Washington.


    The two chatted for a few words, and Vernis immediately ordered Roan again to strictly refrain from such behavior in the future, and then let Roan enjoy the few days of vacation before hanging up the phone.


    At this time, Mona had left the big bed and entered the bathroom, so she called Augustus again. After chatting for a while, Roan threw the phone away, opened the door of the bathroom and rushed in.


    "Wait a minute, Roan! I''m washing up!"


    "What to wash? Let''s wash together later!"


    After waiting, the time came to the afternoon of that day.


    Called the restaurant last night to set up a location, and said that he would be there later, Mona went out to tidy up her clothes after taking a shower, and Roan turned on the system in his mind while taking a shower.


    It was still the familiar light blue page, but what surprised Roan was that the system gave him an evaluation of [excellent]


    At the same time, after a rough cutscene, the system treasure chest actually opened a full six bottles of medicine.


    The corner of Luo An''s mouth slightly raised, and there was a hint of understanding in his eyes:


    "It seems [Excellent] is 4 bottles, [Very Excellent] is 5 bottles, and [Excellent] is 6 bottles."


    Immediately afterwards, Roan was also a little curious. [Excellent] is above [very excellent], and above [very excellent] is [excellent].


    What about [Excellence]? Is there any higher evaluation?


    But after thinking about it, the evaluation of [excellence] is in close contact with the bomb, so the evaluation above [excellence]... Roan feels that he might not want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the missile.


    Thinking that his status will get higher and higher in the future, all social classes of the Federation will start to stack buffs crazily in the future, and the two parties in the political circle will also start to dance with demons... Roan feels that he may have a chance to get in touch with the Federation''s nuclear bomb.


    But thinking of the big mushroom that covered the sky and the sun, Roan quickly shook his head, and began to seriously examine the 6 bottles of potions that were opened from the system treasure chest.

 Chapter 237： System Treasure Chest, Goji Berries Soaked in Water, First Lady

    Chapter 237 System Treasure Chest, Goji Berries Soaked in Water, Letter from the First Lady


    Open the system''s warehouse page, and there is an extra ��Hemostatic Potion x2��


    ��Analgesic Potion x1��


    ��Sensitive potion x1��


    ��antidote x1��


    ��Feather Fall Potion x1��


    In the previous [Murder of a Female Detective from the Investigation Team No. 5], Roan once drank a bottle of tracking potion.


    Afterwards, Roan not only caught the murderer, but also discovered that the tracking potion, like the sleeping potion, was a one-time potion.


    In this [First Lady��s Auction Bombing Case], when Luo An was driving to transfer the bomb, in order to protect himself, he drank a bottle of swift potion and ran hard, drank a bottle of hemostatic potion and a bottle of analgesic potion , to prevent accidents from excessive blood loss.


    The situation after the explosion proved that the Swift Potion was indeed very useful. Roan''s running speed was astonishing, and several SWAT team members even suggested that Roan was still young and could completely become an athlete.


    The performance of the analgesic drug exceeded Roan''s expectations.


    The analgesic effect of the analgesic is too strong. When Roan chatted with those people, he didn''t feel the existence of the wound on his arm at all.


    If Lacey hadn''t called the nurse over, Roan would have subconsciously ignored the fact that the wound needed to be bandaged.


    However, because of the effect of the hemostatic potion, the matter of bandaging the wound was more for Roan to cover up his abnormality.


    At this time, in Luo An''s system warehouse page, there is [Hemostatic Potion x5]


    ��antidote x3��


    ��Swift potion x2��


    ��Strength Potion x2��


    ��Sensitive potion x2��


    ��Analgesic Potion x2��


    ��Feather Fall Potion x2��


    ��Physical potion x1��


    ��Sleep Potion x1��


    ��Scuba Potion x1��


    ��Weakness potion x1��


    Among them, there are many stamina potions, and a bottle can be opened almost every day from the system treasure chest.


    But every day after breakfast, Roan would pour himself a bottle of stamina potion to relieve his tiredness.


    Coupled with Mona''s innate advantage as a woman, there is only one bottle left in the system.


    At the same time, before Roan took the plane from New York to Los Angeles, he poured the [Danger Perception Potion] prescribed by the system into his stomach.


    There is no way, after all, Roan traveled by plane to the island country for inspection.


    Plus the fact that the plane left the ground and was flying in the sky, so Luo An was a little apprehensive about taking the plane.


    Drink the danger perception potion. If something happens to the plane in the air, Roan, who has been reborn, feels that he can prepare in advance, and the chance of surviving will be higher.


    "Roan? Have you finished washing?"


    After getting dressed, Mona put her hands on her hips and yelled loudly with a face full of displeasure.


    For the whole morning, Mona basically didn''t rest. She didn''t know whether Roan was hungry or not. Anyway, Mona felt that she was going to starve to death.


    "OK, it''s over!"


    Walking out of the shower quickly, Roan''s mouth twitched when he saw the radiant and radiant Mona, and he had a deeper understanding of the old Eastern saying.


    After changing their clothes, they went downstairs to eat with Mona. In the next few days, the two traveled to every scenic spot in the city of Los Angeles.


    California Disneyland to watch performances, Santa Monica beach to sunbathe, Walk of Fame to take photos, Sunset Boulevard to enjoy food.


    Daytime life is always colorful, making people happy and relaxed, while night life is relatively simple, there is no colorfulness, only more��


    ����


    Holidays always go by very quickly, and Roan feels that in the blink of an eye, the last day of the four-day vacation is here.


    On the plane back to New York, Mona, Lacey, and Yvonne, three moist and radiant women, sat chatting together, and Ryder, who had a strained lumbar muscle, was voluntarily sat beside Roan.


    Touching his sore lower back, Ryder felt as if he had lost a little weight.


    Tilting his head, he saw that not only did Roan''s face remain unchanged, but he was still full of energy. After a few seconds of silence, Ryder began to tilt his head and ask Roan for advice in a low voice.


    "..."


    Seeing the hope in Ryder''s eyes, Luo An, who had just drank a bottle of stamina potion this morning, twitched his mouth, remained silent for a long time, and finally chose to tell Ryder the mysterious ancient prescription [Sheng Hao + Gou Qi] from the East.


    After all, Ryder is in his forties this year. Although he has a lot of hair and a small belly, Yvonne is full of energy.


    "Thank you very much, Roan."


    Keep in mind the method that Roan gave him, Ryder expressed his gratitude sincerely. After thinking for a moment, he asked in a low voice:


    "Roan, what do you think about Agent Mona?"


    Ryder always called Mona by her name on weekdays, but now he suddenly called Agent Mona, and Roan immediately understood his problem:


    That is, although the FBI does not explicitly prohibit office romances, once two of the field agents of the investigation team fall in love, there is a high probability that one of them will be transferred to other departments or teams to prevent the field agents from getting together. A problem occurred while performing a mission outside.


    "It''s okay, Ryder."


    Seeing the worried look in Ryder''s eyes, Roan chuckled, he was already prepared:


    "Don''t forget, Mona is better at computer things than field work.


    After I was promoted to deputy team leader, there was one less field agent on the external list of the No. 5 investigation team. "


    Ryder thought for a few seconds after hearing the words, his eyes lit up and he suddenly realized.


    Mona''s marksmanship and fighting skills are really mediocre. Usually, she is out on the field, and it is more likely that the No. 5 investigation team is short-staffed, so she has to do it as a last resort.


    So Roan, as his deputy team leader, can ask Vernis above for more field agents.


    In this case, Mona is still a field agent in name, but because her ability is more on the computer, she actually works as a technical agent, and the field work is supplemented by new agents.


    "sharp!"


    Thinking about the subtext in Roan''s words, Ryder grinned and gave him a thumbs up silently.


    After all, Mona''s computer technology and Roan''s ability to solve crimes are obvious to all the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team.


    The transfer of either of them would be a huge loss to the sparsely manned No. 5 investigation team.


    Returning to the No. 5 investigation team, when the four of Roan walked into the office area, William led several technical agents to applaud.


    Augus had already smiled and praised the four of them with a big belly, and then pulled Roan into the team leader''s office again.


    "The medal awarding ceremony is scheduled for next Monday."


    Walking into the team leader''s office, Roan just sat down when Augustus grinned and said:


    "Also, I want to thank you, Roan.


    I got a message this morning, because our No. 5 investigation team has performed very well recently, and the detection rate has skyrocketed. Therefore, at this medal awarding ceremony, our No. 5 investigation team will also receive the overall medal! "


    Hearing this, Roan''s eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, Augustus, who was grinning, stuffed several folders into his arms.


    Among the documents, there is not only the notice of the time and place of the medal awarding ceremony, but also the notice that all four of the No. 5 investigators who went to deal with the case received bonuses, and among them, the notice that Luo An''s bonus was doubled.


    Not only that, Roan also saw a letter after opening the last folder.


    Seeing the signature on the letter, Roan frowned:


    Because it was the first lady who wrote to him!


    Continue to open new cases tomorrow


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 238： Monas move and cohabitation and award ceremony

    Chapter 238 Mona''s Moving and Cohabitation and Awarding Ceremony


    Investigation team No. 5, team leader''s office.


    Seeing the letter signed by the first lady, Roan frowned slightly, then tore open the opening and took out the paper inside.


    It''s just the first lady, not the first daughter, which is nothing unusual to Roan.


    The content of the letter is very simple. The previous content is basically to praise Roan for his outstanding performance in this case, brave and fearless, handsome and so on.


    They were all big truths. Luo An selectively ignored the various official documents inside, carefully read the adjectives that praised him in it five times, and finally turned his attention to the end of the letter.


    The end of the letter is generally the key point. Sure enough, at the end of the letter, the first lady stated that Roan Greenwood��s deputy team leader performed the best in this case, so the $2 million in the foundation will include 1 million US dollars will be distributed to Luo An within this month.


    Of course, the 1 million is pre-tax money, and Roan has to pay the tax by himself.


    Although taxes need to be paid, Roan''s eyes lit up.


    On this business trip, I not only received overtime pay, but also doubled the bonus, sold my experience to Columbia Pictures for 1.83 million US dollars, and the first lady received 1 million.


    In addition to this, there are a lot of other miscellaneous gold and silver cards for free for life.


    After briefly summarizing what he had gained, Roan accidentally exposed his back molars when he grinned.


    Immediately afterwards, Roan suddenly remembered that these were only his gains after the first lady encountered an attack, so if the federal president encountered an attack...


    Forget it, let��s talk about the future later!


    Put aside the thoughts in your head, Roan, and close the folder with a smile:


    "Thank you, sir."


    "You don''t need to thank me, I should be the one thanking you."


    Augus waved his hand, took a sip of the coffee on the table, and continued:


    "During the awarding ceremony of the medal next Monday, you must dress smartly!"


    "certainly!"


    Luo An smiled and nodded in agreement. After the two continued to chat for a few words, they got up and left the team leader''s office.


    After handing over the notification of the bonus distribution to Mona, Lacey and Ryder, and rejecting Ryder''s invitation to go to his house for a barbecue party tomorrow, Roan sat back at his desk and picked up the Coffee turned on the computer, logged into the community and started online.


    Because the last location of the bombing was Los Angeles, and if the Los Angeles side did not work hard, it would not be able to get a share of the foundation set up by the first lady, so the follow-up of the bombing has been related to Roan''s No. 5 The investigation team has nothing to do with it.


    Today is Friday, a day of aboveboard fishing, and soon it will be off work time, followed by two days off on Saturday and Sunday.


    Men and women in love always want to be with each other all the time. For two whole days, Roan and Mona never went out of the house.


    The place where the two fought fiercely this time was no longer Mona''s house, but the small apartment that Roan bought in Greenwich Village.


    On Sunday night, Roan drove Mona back to her little house to pick up the necessities.


    Several **** bags were carried into the car by Roan. Mona picked up the bags but did not leave immediately. She stood at the entrance and looked at the house in silence.


    Roan stood beside her and looked over there, trying to ease Mona''s possible anxiety:


    "The house won''t run away, Mona, you can come back anytime and have a look."


    Mona took a handbag from Roan, with a complicated expression:


    ��When I bought this house, I actually hesitated and considered for a long time before finally gritted my teeth and decided to buy it.


    But I didn''t expect that I would move out before I lived for long. "


    Hearing this, Roan laughed:


    "If you want, I can find someone to help you cash out after a while. Judging from the current housing prices, you can make a lot of money backhanded."


    Before the big real estate bubble happened in 2008, the federal government had always regarded real estate as one of the main means to stimulate the economy.


    But history has proved that once the economy relies too much on the real estate industry, the final outcome does not seem to be very good.


    Besides, there is Wall Street behind the Federation, which wants money and life.


    But now it is 2005, New York real estate has not had any problems, and it continues to rise.


    "Let''s keep it."


    Mona shook her head slightly and said:


    "In case the two of us quarrel and get awkward, I can also have a place to live."


    Roan reached out and held Mona in his arms, whispering in her ear:


    ��I try to solve problems as communicatively as possible.��


    "Women are all emotional. Once emotions are aroused, they will become irrational, and I am no exception."


    Mona put her arms around Roan''s waist, whispering:


    "If I''m really angry and run away, I''ll hide in a place where you can find it easily."


    Luo An''s heart moved, and he kissed her directly without saying anything.


    "No! No!"


    Just when Roan was about to make the next move, Mona suddenly pushed him away, raised her fingers and said solemnly:


    "We both had a meal in the morning today, I''m very hungry now, let''s eat first!"


    Roan agreed with a smile, wiped his mouth and picked up the package, and walked down the stairs with Mona, while tilting his head and asking:


    "roast steak?"


    "No, grilled lamb chops."


    "OK, you have the final say, but I want to add another fifty oysters."


    Mona: "��"


    ����


    Monday, the large conference center on the third floor of the Jacobs Federal Building.


    The medal awarding ceremony will be held here at ten o''clock in the morning.


    At this time, there were already many visitors, including the old forensic doctor and Detective Neil from the Trace Inspection Section, Old York from the Security Section, Detective Norton from the Organized Crime Investigation Section, Team Leader Dillon, and Vernis, the special agent supervisor, The same-level leaders of other investigation departments, as well as the deputy director and director of the New York branch of the FBI.


    There were also many family members sitting in the stands, including August''s wife and daughter, and Ryder''s wife and children.


    However, both of Roan''s parents died, Mona''s father was not in New York, and Lacey''s relatives were too old to come, so the relatives of the three of them were empty.


    The time reached ten o''clock, and the director began to speak on stage.


    The director of the New York branch of the FBI is an elderly white man with a very serious face, but his speech is serious but not lacking in humor, which makes the atmosphere of the scene very warm.


    After the speech, the music sounded, and the medal awarding ceremony officially began. The team medal was awarded first.


    Team leader Augustus stood at the front with a big belly, followed by deputy team leader Roan, followed by Ryder, Lacey, Mona, William and four technical agents.


    The director helped everyone to bring the medals, and after a few words of praise, they took a group photo, and everyone in the audience cheered and applauded.


    After the awarding of collective medals, everyone in the No. 5 investigation team walked off the stage, followed by the awarding of the FBI Merit Medal and the FBI Bravery Medal.


    Roan, who walked off the stage, turned and returned to the stage. He had just stood still, and before the director could speak, there was more enthusiastic applause and cheers than before:


    "Roan! Well done!"


    "marvelous!"


    "Awesome!"


    "Topnotch!"


    The atmosphere off the stage was extremely warm. The director put two medals on Luo An''s chest, and patted Luo An on the shoulder vigorously:


    "Nice job, Roan, you are the best agent I have seen in these years!"


    "Thank you, sir, for your compliment."


    Roan had a smile on his face.


    After the awarding ceremony was over, several members of the No. 5 investigation team went to share their joy with their family members. Just as Roan was about to say something to Lacey and Mona, Vernis walked over.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 239： 【Serial killings are all cut off】

    Chapter 239 [Serial murders were cut off]


    "Hello, sir."


    Roan greeted Vernis with a smile.


    Verinis nodded, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She felt that Roan, who had three medals hanging on his chest, seemed much more handsome.


    The two had a brief chat, and Roan learned from Vernis that the medal on his chest not only represented glory, but also had bonuses!


    Investigation team No. 5 received a collective medal, and each person can get a bonus of 10,000 US dollars.


    FBI Medal of Courage and FBI Medal of Merit, each with a bonus of $40,000.


    That is to say, Roan not only won three medals this time, but also received a bonus of 90,000 US dollars.


    Verinis chatted with Roan for a while, then turned around and left here. Agents Norton, Agent Nell and others quickly approached upon seeing this.


    After some fighting, they agreed on the time and place for dinner together on Tuesday night.


    Not tonight, because tonight is the dinner time for investigation team No. 5.


    ����


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    While the agents were sitting in the office area making noise, discussing the dinner place and the kind of food tonight, Augustus suddenly pushed open the door of the team leader''s office with a solemn expression.


    Seeing the expression on Augustus''s face, the noise in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team quickly quieted down.


    No nonsense, Augustus distributed the documents in his hand to everyone:


    "Guys, here''s a new case."


    Lacey, William and the others howled, it seems that tonight''s dinner is unnecessary.


    After the documents were distributed to each agent, Augustus introduced with a solemn face:


    "Attention, everyone, this case is not easy.


    Last night, Paul Blake, the host of the news channel of the Federal National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), died in his home.


    The death was very miserable. The murderer stabbed more than a dozen times in the chest, and the lower body was cut in two by the murderer. "


    "Hiss��"


    Hearing this, male detectives such as Roan, Ryder, and William subconsciously took a breath.


    Augus also changed his standing posture with the corners of his mouth trembling slightly, and continued:


    "Not only that, Paul Blake''s cousin, Kelton Blake, temporarily stayed at his home that night, so Kelton Blake was also attacked by the murderer.


    Unfortunately, he was also cut off by the murderer.


    Fortunately, when the police arrived on the scene, Kelton Blake hadn''t died completely and was currently receiving emergency treatment in the hospital. "


    When Augustus said this, Lacey raised her right hand and asked:


    "Who called the police? Community security?"


    "No."


    Augus shook his head and closed the folder in his hand:


    "The caller was Paul Blake''s nine-year-old daughter.


    When the case happened, she was hidden under the bed by Kelton Blake. "


    Hearing this, all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team looked very ugly.


    The father was killed in front of his eyes, and the shadow full of blood may hang over the little girl''s life.


    ��The reason this case was given to us was because there were two other victims who died in the same way as Paul Blake.


    This is a serial murder case. "


    Augus took out two other folders from behind and handed them to everyone, saying:


    "The first deceased was a real estate agent, Orson Chet, who died half a month ago, at home.


    The second deceased was the owner of a certain hotel, Hogan-Jamie, who died 10 days ago at his home.


    The two of them died in the same way as Paul Blake. They were stabbed in the chest multiple times and their lower body was cut off at the same time. "


    "The three deceased were all wealthy men."


    After reading the information in her hand, Mona said thoughtfully:


    "And all three live in a townhouse in an upscale neighborhood."


    "That''s right, the three rich men were killed in their own home with a knife."


    Augus nodded, then turned to look at Roan:


    "Roan, it''s up to you next."


    "OK."


    Throwing the folder aside, Roan picked up the coffee on the table and drank it down, saying:


    "Ryder, go to the trace inspection department and let them carefully examine the wounds of the three corpses to determine the habits of the murderer and whether the murderer is the same person.


    Mona, you and William carefully investigated the personal information of these four victims, focusing on their relationship status and whether they had any experience of paying for fun.


    If so, who is serving them, and whether there is any conflict between that person and them. "


    All four victims had their private parts cut off. The reason for the killer''s killing was definitely related to bed or sex.


    "no problem."


    William nodded and agreed, while Mona asked while typing on the keyboard:


    "Is Kelton Blake also investigating? I feel like he was just implicated by his cousin."


    Roan shook his head:


    "Let''s investigate, no one can say for sure about this kind of thing."


    "OK, listen to you."


    Mona didn''t say much, but tapped the keyboard more quickly.


    Augus nodded when he saw the busy people, then took out a car key from his pocket and threw it to Roan:


    "This is a new car I just bought for our No. 5 investigation team a few days ago, please drive carefully."


    Snapped!


    Hearing this, Roan''s eyes lit up after receiving the key:


    "Don''t worry, sir, I will definitely drive carefully!"


    Ten minutes later, Roan drove a brand new SUV, roaring like lightning, rushed out of the parking lot, and began to perform various thrilling corner overtakings on the roads of New York.


    "..."


    Seeing Roan with a happy face, Lacey sitting in the co-pilot didn''t say much, just closed her eyes, and fastened her seat belt firmly.


    She planned to go back and form a bet with the agents of the No. 5 investigation team. The content of the bet was how long the car would last in Roan''s hands.


    Augustus: "��"


    ����


    It didn''t take long for Roan and Lacey to arrive at the home of the victim, Paul Blake.


    Opening the door and getting out of the car, Roan patted the front hood of the SUV with a smile on his face:


    "What a nice car!"


    "Yeah, it should be enough to scourge you for a while."


    Lacey, who got off the co-pilot, rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand and shook hands with the oncoming NYPD:


    "Hello, Agent Lacey of the FBI''s No. 5 investigation team."


    "Hello, Agent Lacey, my name is Chuck."


    NYPD eyes lit up when he heard the words, and turned to look at Luo An:


    "Then you must be Roan Greenwood, deputy head of investigation team No. 5. I heard about you from Detective Walton."


    Because of his performance during this period, Roan was already considered a celebrity in various law enforcement agencies in New York.


    "Hi, Officer Chuck."


    Roan smiled and chatted briefly with the other party, and then changed the topic to this case:


    "Does this house have a security system?"


    ��The house has it, but it hasn��t been installed yet.��


    Chuck took the two into the villa and explained:


    "The victim just moved here not long ago, and it is still being renovated. During the day, many workers come in and out."


    Roan walked to the back door of the villa, looked down carefully for a few seconds, and frowned slightly:


    "There are signs of being warped around the keyhole. It seems that the murderer entered the room by picking the lock."


    Lacey looked down and nodded.


    Roan continued to ask:


    "What''s going on with Paul Blake''s daughter?"


    "Paul Blake''s ex-wife has arrived and she is staying with her daughter in the upstairs bedroom."


    "OK"


    and Lacey looked at each other, and Roan immediately got up and went upstairs to the bedroom.


    As the victim''s ex-wife, she should have some understanding of Paul Blake''s love life.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 240： Girl, white, wealthy area, 10 years old this year

    Chapter 240 Girl, white, wealthy area, 10 years old this year


    The bedroom on the second floor of the villa.


    The ex-wife of the deceased Paul Blake was named Iona, a young Caucasian woman dressed in very violent... cool clothes.


    When Roan and Lacey walked upstairs, she was smoking a lady''s cigarette and whispering to her daughter with her arms around her.


    "Hello, Ms. Iona."


    Roan and Lacey took out the FBI''s golden badge to show their identities, and then began to ask about relevant content.


    "I didn''t expect this to happen."


    Iona opened her mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke, knocked on Erlang''s legs, put her arms around her daughter and said:


    ��My daughter has experienced too much during this period. First, I cheated and divorced, and then my father died. This is really too difficult for her.��


    Because Iona''s clothes are too cool, when the other party raises her legs, Lacey can even see her center point and similar panties.


    In addition, Iona is not bad in appearance, so when Lacey took out her small notebook to record her words, her eyes always wandered a little uncontrollably.


    He slapped Lacey''s arm hard, and Roan was actually a little speechless. It was the first time he saw a woman cheating on him, and he said it so confidently.


    But this is the Federation, how can Iona engage in her freedom? After a brief chat with her, Roan turned his attention to the daughter in her arms, Keli.


    "I was sleeping."


    Keli��s emotions obviously haven��t recovered. Keli didn��t know how to answer the question Roan asked, but kept repeating everything that happened that night:


    "Uncle Kelton pulled me out of the bed and told me to hide under the bed, and then I saw Uncle Kelton fighting a black man with a knife under the bed.


    I seem to have seen that black man. He was the one who decorated this house. My dad had quarreled with him before, because when my dad was working outside, he took pictures of the man eating leaves and selling them when he was decorating.


    After the uncle fell down, the black man took off his pants, swung the knife a few times, and then left.


    When there was no movement in the room, I crawled out from under the bed and called the police. "


    Ke Li said that what she said when she called the police was a few words her father taught her before:


    Girl, Caucasian, 10 years old this year, lives in a wealthy area of ??an upscale community, someone wants to kill her, please help.


    Sure enough, the NYPD arrived at the villa in less than three minutes.


    "..." x2


    Ke Li��s last words were a bit sloppy, Lacey opened her mouth and didn��t know what to say.


    Also, Claire said the killer was black, but black serial killers are... so rare.


    Roan next to him rubbed his temples. He couldn''t tell whether the murderer was a black man. Ke Li was a bit out of line when she spoke, and the scene didn''t turn on the lights when the crime happened.


    But Roan noticed another important point in Keli''s words:


    "Ke Li, you just said that when your father was working outside, you took pictures of the unruly workers when they were working at your house?"


    The security system has not been renovated, and the cameras have not been arranged yet. Where did Paul Blake take the photos?


    Ke Li raised her head, with some doubts on her face, Roan had no choice but to turn her gaze to Iona.


    ��Paul likes to have hidden cameras in his home.��


    Iona exhaled another puff of smoke, and said coldly:


    "He''s a control freak, and he likes the feeling of monitoring others all the time."


    Iona said that she was indeed at fault for cheating, but was Paul Blake not at fault?


    "OK, OK."


    Hearing Iona''s words, Roan''s eyes lit up, ignoring the emotional conflict between the two, he got up and asked:


    "Where does Paul usually install his hidden cameras?"


    ����


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    In Mona''s computer, a surveillance video with a dark screen is playing.


    "This is a video taken by the hidden camera on the clock in Paul Blake''s living room!"


    Roan clapped his palms and signaled all the agents to come here to watch.


    The time on the surveillance was 12:46 last night. A man in black, black pants, and a black hood pried open the back door of Paul Blake''s villa and walked in slowly.


    The murderer has never appeared in the subsequent screens, because the two victims were assassinated upstairs.


    A moment later, the murderer walked down the stairs and quickly fled the place according to the route he came from, holding a **** sharp knife in his hand.


    "It seems that this is the murderer we are looking for, and the murder weapon was also taken away by him."


    Roan nodded in satisfaction, and then asked:


    "How about it, can you do face recognition?"


    "can not do this."


    Mona shook her head, tapped the keyboard a few times to zoom in on the video, and the detectives discovered that the murderer was wearing a black hood, and the video was blurry, so they couldn''t see anything clearly.


    "All right."


    Roan stood up straight with his hands on his hips, and continued:


    "So, does anyone else have any good news for me?"


    "The report from the trace inspection department has come out."


    Ryder next to ?? held up the folder in his hand:


    "According to the autopsy report, the three victims had the same marks of knife wounds, and the murderer also had the same habit of using a knife, so it can be determined that the murderer in the three murder cases is the same person."


    "So now it''s 100% sure it''s a serial murder case, but it''s not good news."


    Roan picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, then turned to look at William and other technical agents:


    "How about you? Is there any good news?"


    "certainly!"


    William chuckled, picked up a few pieces of paper from the table and said:


    "According to your request, we dug into the situation of the three of them together with Mona, and found that they have all called the same person many times recently.


    According to the investigation, the owner of this call is Magdalena, a 57-year-old mother who specializes in providing high-end prostitutes for rich men. "


    Took the paper from William, which contained a photo of Magdalena. Although she was 57 years old, she still had a charm and a good figure.


    Below the photo, there are Magdalena''s life mottos, one of which is "A woman''s body is an asset. Since it is an asset, it must be well maintained and sold at a good price."


    At the same time, Magdalena also despises the women in the streets and alleys very much, and has no economic awareness at all. She said that since they all spread their legs, why not improve themselves to make more money.


    "..."


    Roan scratched his head, not knowing how to comment on Magdalena''s words.


    But thinking that this is the Federation, and the breath of freedom is everywhere, Magdalena''s thoughts are nothing.


    Shaking the paper in his hand, Roan continued to ask:


    "So, what do you mean, the murderer may be related to the women under Magdalena?"


    Mona shook her shoulders:


    "We couldn''t find any specific information about Magdalena''s women.


    However, it is said that most of Magdalena''s women work part-time. They have their own lives and boyfriends on weekdays.


    In case a boyfriend discovers another side of his girlfriend, and the three victims have all been served by that woman..."


    "The fires of jealousy and rage are enough to set a man ablaze."


    Roan nodded, and was just about to ask someone to bring Magdalena back for questioning, when Augustus suddenly had a gloomy face, pushed open the door of the office area of ??the investigation team No. 5 and walked in:


    "Everyone, the NYPD just discovered a new victim."


    "What?" xN


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 241： Suicide in prison out of shame

    Chapter 241 Suicide in prison due to shame


    Augus'' words made the agents of the No. 5 investigation team frown, and Roan asked directly:


    "When did this happen?"


    "have no idea."


    Augus shook his head. NYPD only mentioned the location of the crime and the tragedy of the severed lower body of the deceased. They did not investigate the specific conditions of the corpse.


    "OK."


    Roan didn''t say much, and immediately turned around and said:


    "Ryder, Mona, you two go and bring Magdalena back now.


    Lacey and I go to this new crime scene. "


    "no problem!"


    Mona and Ryder got up and walked quickly into the equipment room, followed by Lacey, and Roan took out his mobile phone to call the trace inspection department.


    Forty minutes later, in a villa area on the Upper West Side of New York.


    "The name of the deceased is Karl Zoffer, a senior lawyer in a law firm."


    The NYPD and Luo An who were waiting at the scene exchanged a few simple greetings, and then led them to the victim''s death area:


    "According to the law firm''s account, Karl Zoffer asked for a few days off four days ago due to physical discomfort, but he didn''t go to work this morning, and the phone couldn''t be reached, so his boss asked us to take a look at his Condition."


    Walking up to the second floor of the villa, Karl Zoffer died in the study. The cause of death was also a large number of stab wounds on his chest, and his lower body was also horrific.


    Lacey glanced and turned her head to look for other clues, while Roan began to carefully examine the surroundings of the corpse and asked at the same time:


    "Does this house have a security system?"


    NYPD didn''t answer. An agent from the Trace Inspection Division nodded, picked up the laptop in his arms and said:


    "There is one, and the surveillance camera behind the house captured the murderer."


    Roan got up and looked at the computer in the opponent''s hand. Inside was a man of the same build, also wearing black clothes, black pants and a black hood, and even the method of picking the lock was the same.


    But the surveillance camera also failed to see the face of the murderer.


    "The four victims died 15 days ago, 10 days ago, 4 days ago and yesterday. This murderer is really..."


    After the video was played, Luo An smacked his tongue, not knowing how to describe this serial killer.


    Turning his head and continuing to check the study, Roan found half a **** footprint next to a carpet, and recruited the detectives from the trace inspection department to let them tidy it up. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Roan suddenly noticed that the posture of the corpse was a bit strange. Satisfied.


    According to the Trace Inspection Section and the judgment described by NYPD just now, the time of death of the victim Karl Zoffer should be around 3-4 days.


    At 2 to 3 days, the corpse will begin to rot from the abdomen of the human body, leaving gas after decomposition, so the body begins to swell, and at 3 to 4 days, the rot begins to spread from the abdomen, and the veins become more discolored.


    At this time, Karl Zoffer''s body did start to grow, but the growth rate seemed to be somewhat higher than normal.


    Roan scratched his head and was about to speak to the investigators of the trace inspection department in the study when Lacey''s voice suddenly came from the bedroom not far away:


    "Roan! Come to me!"


    "OK."


    Walking into the bedroom, an agent from the Trace Inspection Division was checking Karl Zoffer''s laptop, while Lacey was looking at a **** box with a strange expression.


    Seeing Roan coming, Lacey showed Roan the items in the **** box. Roan looked down and found that the **** box was full of various toys.


    "..."


    Roan''s mouth twitched, and he turned to look at Lacey:


    "Is it because of your **** attributes? How do you always find these things?"


    The last time I went to the home of Kayden-Smith''s sister who stole the bomb, Lacey was also under the bed in Kayden-Smith''s basement, and found a bunch of items that made Roan feel hot.


    "snort!"


    Rolling an angry look at Roan, Lacey took out a small box from the **** box and said:


    "This is the latest model that just came out this year, and it''s the kind that can be remotely controlled.


    I thought I''d be able to find the remote at Karl Zoffer, but I couldn''t. "


    Roan''s mouth twitched, as if thinking of something, Lacey didn''t see the expression on his face, pointed to the trace inspection officer at the side, and said:


    "We just found some chat records and photo screenshots in Karl Zoffer''s laptop, and then..."


    "OK, OK, it goes without saying."


    Roan waved his hands with a complicated expression, he seemed to understand the reason why the corpse rose a bit too much:


    "So, Lacey, you''re saying that Karl Zoffer is gay?"


    "It may be, but it''s not certain."


    Lacey nodded, then shook her head:


    "I don''t understand the thinking of these rich people. Maybe he just wants to try new things."


    "All right."


    Roan nodded. He didn''t understand what these people were thinking, so he turned around and told the two investigators of the trace inspection department in the study to pay more attention to the exit of the corpse when they moved the corpse, and then took out his mobile phone to call Mona. phoned:


    "How about it, did you catch Magdalena?"


    "Well, things are a bit complicated now."


    Mona on the other end of the phone showed a strange expression:


    "The two of us have successfully brought Magdalena into the interrogation room, but before Ryder and I started the interrogation, the special agent chief Vernis rushed to our No. 5 investigation team.


    Verinisi said that just now, a certain director of NYPD, a certain leader of the Department of Homeland Security, a certain leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology, a certain leader of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), a deputy mayor of New York City, a certain member of the New York Assembly, and our FBI The deputy directors of the New York branch all called her to inquire about the situation of the case.


    That''s why Verinis didn''t let Ryder and I interrogate Magdalena now, but waited for you to come back. "


    Roan: "..."


    After listening to Mona''s description, Roan''s face twitched and he felt a pain in his ass.


    He remembered a piece of news from his previous life.


    In 2008, a federal federal jury indicted a middle-aged white woman named Palfrey, nicknamed "Mrs. Washington" for "operating a prostitution ring".


    According to the news at the time, the "Pamela Martin Escorts" company operated by Palfrey in Washington was suspected of providing pornographic services.


    Palfrey herself not only obtained illegal income of more than 2 million U.S. dollars from it, but her clients were mostly Washington political elites, including Assistant Secretary of State, members of Congress, NASA officials, Navy officials, World Bank staff, international currency Fund managers, lawyers, etc.


    In order to force those "important people" to come out and provide favorable testimony for himself, Palfrey once provided the media with a batch of important client phone records, and stated that he would never go to prison to serve his sentence.


    At the same time, Palfrey also said: "I will definitely not go to federal prison, whether it is 4 years or 8 years, if necessary, I will bring all those clients in!"


    Offending so many people, Palfrey��s actions can be imagined, and in the end it was no surprise that ��Ms. Palfrey chose to commit suicide in prison when she was only 10 days away from the court trial due to her shame.��


    Roan didn��t want to know whether Palfrey committed suicide or not. He wanted to know one thing now:


    What is going on with this Magdalena?


    The current time is 2005. Could it be that this New York is Magdalena, the senior of Washington Palfrey?


    Wait for yourself. If during the interrogation of Magdalena, something irrelevant to this case is found out, then...


    Returning to the SUV in the Jacobs Federal Building, Roan immediately took out his mobile phone and called Vernis.


    Time to ask thighs for their thoughts and opinions.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 242： early scandal

    Chapter 242 The scandal that happened in advance


    Jacob Federal Building, office area of ??investigation team No. 5.


    Verinis sat with her legs crossed in the monitoring room next to the interrogation room, watching Magdalena in the monitoring room in silence.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    "Enter."


    Hearing what Verinis said, Roan pushed open the door and walked into the monitoring room, laughing:


    "Good afternoon, sir."


    Verinis twisted the chair and turned around, folded her arms around her chest and said expressionlessly:


    "Roan, you really gave me a big surprise."


    Roan spread his hands. He really didn''t expect that there would be so many people standing behind Magdalena for her.


    "Not for her, Roan."


    Verinis handed a folder with a black confidential clause to Roan, and said with a serious face:


    "Actually, our FBI New York branch has been monitoring Magdalena for certain things.


    It''s just that it''s not time yet, so I haven''t done anything to her. "


    Opening the folder, Roan saw a familiar name:


    Deborah Palfrey.


    According to the data, Magdalena and Palfrey have a "teacher-student" and "sister" relationship.


    When these two women were young, under the control of the same gangster organization, they carried out economic activities that spread their legs to measure the length of society.


    Later, the gang organization was destroyed, and these female technical workers under the banner naturally ran away.


    Magdalena first fled to New York to continue her old business, and thoughtfully combined her own advantages, proposed advanced concepts, opened up new markets, increased her assets steadily, and completed the industrial transformation.


    Palfrey came to New York to join his sisters because he didn''t do well in other places.


    Then he learned Magdalena''s advanced concepts as a matter of course, and after saving a sum of money, he went to Washington to open an **** company called "Pamela Martin".


    Not only that, but Palfrey has also carried out update iterations and industrial upgrades based on Magdalena''s theory.


    Women working in the "Pamela Martin" **** company must be at least 23 years old, have at least graduated from college, and have normal day jobs, and many of them are professional women with good salaries.


    Moreover, these girls are required by Palfrey to have outstanding appearance, decent clothes, modest jewelry and exquisite details (such as beautiful heels); "Drinking and reading are not allowed during the period, and must be strictly punctual...


    How could this kind of woman not be noticed by the FBI? The reason why the FBI has not done anything is only because of the high-level officials in Washington and no one took the initiative to lift the cover.


    And now Roan accidentally captured Palfrey''s "master", Magdalena.


    Roan: "..."


    After reading the information in the folder, Luo An felt very pained.


    Is this a surprise to the snake?


    He really didn''t expect that he would one day participate in a well-known scandal in the history of the Federation.


    Seeing the expression on Roan''s face, Vernis raised the corners of her mouth slightly, took a sip of coffee, and said softly:


    "Don''t worry, Roan, since you''ve already made a fool of yourself, there''s no need to keep covering this matter."


    Verenice said that she just called Mr. Clement in Washington. Clement thought for a long time, and promised to send someone to arrest Palfrey in the near future and deal with the "Parfrey" Mira Martin" Escort Company.


    If there is no accident, this scandal that happened in the previous life in 2006-2008 will be brought forward to 2005 this time.


    Hearing that Mr. Clement took over the matter, Roan was relieved.


    It is good to have thighs behind.


    Otherwise, if I were just a small grassroots agent, but lifted the cover... Who knows what will happen later.


    Close the folder, Roan smiled:


    "Thank you, sir."


    "You''re welcome."


    Verinis waved her hand. This kind of thing is indeed a big scandal. After it is revealed, it will definitely cause panic among some people in Washington.


    But for Mr. Clement, an old fox who has worked in Washington for decades, he can definitely exchange a lot of benefits for his camp through this incident.


    So at the end, Vernis handed Roan a cup of coffee and said softly:


    "If you want to be promoted from deputy team leader to team leader, there is a rigid rule, that is, the deputy team leader must have the experience of working in other cities."


    Roan nodded, he knew this, and this is one of the reasons why many police officers are reluctant to join the FBI, because working in the FBI requires moving from one city to another every few years.


    At the same time, Roan also knows one thing, that is, after the financial crisis in 2008 in his previous life, the requirement of changing work locations was abolished, and FBI agents can work in one city until retirement.


    Roan has already heard the subtext in Verinisi''s words, that is, he wants to help Luo An be promoted to the leader of the investigation team.


    But there are also huge differences between the major cities in the Federation. Some cities are world-renowned, and some cities have never heard of Roan.


    "So, what do you mean, sir?"


    "Next month, our New York branch will have a place to switch places with the Los Angeles branch."


    Verinis handed another document to Roan:


    "The time limit for changing the workplace is three years, but if the performance is outstanding and the Washington headquarters also issues a transfer order, they can be transferred to another city after one year."


    Roan''s eyes lit up when he heard this.


    It is not difficult to understand the meaning of Verinisi''s words, that is, let Roan go out to study for a year''s qualifications, and then come back and be promoted to be the leader of the investigation team.


    At the same time, Roan can also avoid the limelight of Palfrey''s case at the beginning. After all, this case has been tossed for three or four years in the previous life, and the time to deal with it in this life will definitely not be short.


    Seeing the enlightened look on Roan''s face, Verinisi nodded in satisfaction, and finally took out a business card from her pocket and handed it to Roan:


    "This is the contact information of the director of the FBI''s Los Angeles Branch-Criminal Investigation Section. You can contact him later."


    The name Roan on the business card is somewhat familiar, and I always feel as if I have seen it somewhere before.


    However, Roan is not in a hurry, so he can put it aside. What Roan wants to know is another thing:


    "Sir, how many places are there? One person, or the entire investigation team?"


    This is very important, Roan doesn''t want to go to Los Angeles alone.


    "There are eleven people in total."


    Verinis paused, and said softly:


    "Your No. 5 investigation team can only be assigned a maximum of four places."


    As the head of the special agent, Vernis can''t do too much, after all, there are 14 investigation teams.


    "OK."


    Hearing what Verinisi said, Luo An made up his mind and breathed a sigh of relief:


    "Thank you, sir."


    "no need to thank me."


    Verinis�� voice was still very calm, but there was a smile in her eyes:


    "After the interrogation of Magdalena, go and explain to Augustus yourself."


    Who these four places will be, Roan and Vernis are clear in their hearts.


    In this case, as the leader of the No. 5 investigation team, Augustus, the expression on his face when facing the investigation team with only a few technical agents like William...


    The corners of Vernis''s mouth raised slightly, she turned her chair and began to look at Magdalena in the interrogation room.


    "..."


    Thinking of Augustus''s **** face that was darker than the bottom of the pot, Roan''s mouth twitched.


    Sir, you can''t do this, sir!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 243： Found the murderer, went to arrest

    Chapter 243 Find the murderer, go to arrest


    The good news is that Vernis was just joking with Roan. She told Augustus about the quota just now, so Roan doesn''t need to tell it in person.


    The bad news is that Augustus knew exactly who the four places would be, so he still looked at Roan with a dark face for a long time.


    Roan had no choice but to smile and handed Augustus a super big hamburger that was thicker and bigger.


    But after all, it will be a month before they are transferred to Los Angeles, and the top priority is the serial murder case in their hands.


    So Roan and Augustus had a brief chat, and Augustus, who had eaten a few bites of the hamburger, waved his hand, signaling Roan to interrogate Magdalena first, and talk about the rest later.


    The interrogation of Magdalena was not long. This 57-year-old still attractive woman is obviously a smart person with unusually high IQ and EQ.


    As soon as Roan and Lacey sat down, Magdalena proposed that she knew a lot of things and had a lot of clues, saying that she had told everything and could testify in court.


    But there is a premise, that is, the FBI will join her in the witness protection program, and afterward, send her to a small city to spend the rest of her life incognito.


    After getting Vernis'' affirmative answer, Roan agreed to Magdalena''s request.


    To Verenes, Magdalena is of average value, her "disciple" and "sister", Palfrey is more important than her.


    After receiving Roan''s affirmative answer, Magdalena began to seriously answer the clues she knew about this serial murder case.


    ����


    Half an hour later, Magdalena was taken away by Verenice.


    Judging from Vernis''s attitude, Roan felt that she was going to let Magdalena give her "sister" and "apprentice" a backstab.


    Roan didn''t think too much about it, the most important thing is to deal with the serial murder case at hand first.


    "Everyone, according to Magdalena, our five victims, except cousin Kelton Blake.


    The rest of the real estate agent Orson Chet, the news channel host Paul Blake, the hotel owner Hogan Jamie, and the senior lawyer Carl Zoffer are all members of an underground club. "


    Lacey stood at the front of the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, and read aloud the few clues obtained from the interrogation just now:


    "Magdalena said that the club has two areas.


    The content of one of the areas is similar to the movie [Eye Wide Opener]. Magdalena is mainly responsible for sending girls to the club. "


    Speaking of this, Lacey licked her lips, he was not interested in men, but Magdalena said there was a women''s section there, and Lacey wanted to see the world a little bit.


    "So, what does this club have to do with this serial murder?"


    Ryder, who just went to the bathroom, raised his hand and raised his own question.


    He had seen more chaotic scenes than that during SWAT raids before, so he wasn''t curious about such things.


    Hearing Ryder''s question, he kept his head down to check the information. Roan, who didn''t speak, stood up and said:


    ��The second area of ??the club is related to finance. The people in that area are rich people. They always discuss investment, stocks, bonds and other information while playing cards, help each other, and make money together.


    As for whether this club has anything to do with this case, Mona and William are investigating. "


    "Of course it does!"


    After Luo An finished speaking, Mona immediately tapped the keyboard hard, then raised her head and said with a smile:


    "According to the information in the underground club, the four deceased often played cards with one person.


    That person''s name is Richard Meyer, 37 years old this year, the owner of a textile factory.


    I checked Richard Meyer''s financial situation just now, and found that his textile factory had gone bankrupt two months ago.


    The main reason for the bankruptcy was that Richard Meyer misappropriated the working capital of his factory to buy a stock. As a result, the stock fell all the way to the bottom and never got up. "


    Roan nodded:


    "If I''m not mistaken, that stock was recommended to Richard Meyer by the four deceased."


    "Exactly!"


    William next to ?? continued:


    "Not only that, after Richard Meier''s textile factory closed down, the land was also resold by the four deceased."


    "Whoa, that sucks."


    After listening to William''s narration, Ryder smashed his tongue and shook his head, his face full of regret.


    But Mona on the side threw a hamburger to Ryder, and said with a smile:


    "According to Richard Meier''s previous economic situation, the textile factory was not his at first.


    It was also obtained by Richard Meyer in the club, together with the four deceased, using similar means to get it from others. "


    Ryder froze after taking the hamburger. Roan next to him chuckled and patted him on the shoulder:


    "There is an old saying in the East, which is called "a dog bites the hair of the dog''s mouth" and "catch geese all day long, but the goose hits the eye". You can look up the meaning of these two sentences later."


    "All right."


    Ryder opened his mouth and took a bite of the hamburger in his hand. After chewing a few times, he suddenly remembered another question:


    "But if Richard Meyer is really the murderer, for revenge, he can just kill people directly, why bother to cut off the private parts of the four victims?"


    "Um��"


    Lacey frowned at Ryder''s words, and then she turned her eyes to William.


    William shook his head, and Lacey turned her eyes to Mona.


    Mona chuckled, and tapped the keyboard a few times to display Richard Meyer''s photo and his credit card consumption records on the computer screen:


    Richard Meyer on the computer is just a middle-aged white man with a lot of muscle.


    But his credit card records showed that he had repeatedly purchased the same toy in the black box that Roan and Lacey had found in the black box of the fourth victim, Carl Zoffer.


    "So, there is a high probability that Richard Meyer is gay."


    Lacey nodded suddenly, and Ryder took a hard bite of the hamburger in his hand.


    Roan next to him frowned slightly, but it must be the best choice to bring Richard Meyer back to the No. 5 investigation team for questioning, so he patted Mona on the shoulder and asked:


    "Where is Richard Meier now, can I find it?"


    "Simple."


    Mona fluttered her ten fingers on the keyboard, and quickly found Richard Meyer''s current location based on Richard Meyer''s recent credit card consumption records:


    ��A small community in lower downtown Queens, New York.��


    "OK!"


    Roan nodded, said without nonsense:


    "Ryder, Lacey, you will go to Queens with me now, and bring Richard Meier back to our No. 5 investigation team as a guest."


    "no problem!"


    Ryder and Lacey nodded, and the three walked quickly into the equipment warehouse together, and then drove a brand new SUV to Queens.


    When he was about to reach the target location, Roan''s cell phone rang suddenly.


    Press the answer button:


    "What''s wrong, Mona?"


    "The trace inspection department just sent a report."


    Mona on the other end of the phone said:


    "The content of the test is the footprint you found at the house of the fourth victim, Karl Zoffer.


    The report of the trace inspection department showed that the murderer was wearing a size 11 Stark shoe, which is the most common work boot on the market.


    Not only that, but the Trace Inspection Department also found some plant ash and small glass fragments that did not belong to that room in the carpet under the footprints. "


    "Good."


    Parked the SUV on the side of the road, Roan said that he had already learned about the matter, and then, together with Led Lacey, quickly moved to the door of Richard Meyer''s apartment with the Glock 18.

 Chapter 244： believers

    Chapter 244 Christians


    Queens, New York.


    Outside an apartment in a certain community, Roan, Ryder, and Lacey stood at the door with weapons in their hands, two on the left and one on the right.


    Looking at each other, Roan counted down to three, and then Ryder raised his foot and kicked hard towards the door.


    Boom!


    "FBI!"


    "Do not move!"


    The three yelled as they quickly checked every room in the apartment, and in the kitchen they saw a young white woman with headphones dancing her body making dinner.


    The young woman turned her head and saw Roan and Ryder suddenly appearing, and the Glock 18 in their hands, she was startled and screamed.


    "We are the FBI!"


    At this time, Lacey, who had checked all the rooms, walked back and shook her head at Roan. Roan frowned slightly, pulled off the earphones on the woman''s head, and asked:


    "Where''s Richard Meier?"


    "I don''t know, he''s not here!"


    Slowly calmed down her mood, the young woman named Irene explained:


    "It''s been two months since we broke up! Why are you looking for Richard?"


    "We suspect that he is related to a serial murder case."


    Roan put away the Glock 18 and said in a concentrated voice:


    "Do you know where Richard Meyer is? We need to talk to him.


    Or, you can also explain why you have been using Richard Meier''s credit card. "


    "What?"


    Hearing the word "serial murder case", Irene took a deep breath, waved her hands again and again to express that those cases had absolutely nothing to do with her, and then explained everything.


    "Richard and I met a year ago."


    Irene��s identity is a waiter working in a high-end restaurant. When Richard took someone there for dinner, the two met.


    Richard was attractive and a factory owner at the time, so Erin soon moved in with him.


    Those toys were bought together when the two lived together. After all, Irene was young and played with many tricks, and Richard was also willing to try new things.


    Hearing this, Lacey and Ryder glanced at each other, it seems that their previous judgment was wrong, Richard is not gay.


    Roan nodded calmly, and continued to ask:


    "And after that?"


    "Richard''s factory went bankrupt after that."


    Irene sat on the sofa with a complicated expression on her face:


    ��Richard had a breakdown at the time, and he started drinking too much.


    A month and a half ago, Richard suddenly sent me a message, saying that he was going to leave New York to go out and relax, and then I never saw him again, only occasionally contacted by message. "


    A month and a half ago, the words "send message" and "send message" made Roan''s eyes narrow, and he thought of a possibility:


    "You mean, you''ve never spoken to Richard on the phone since then?"


    Irene seemed to have thought of something, swallowed and nodded:


    "Exactly."


    Ryder and Lacey looked at each other, and they both thought of a situation.


    Roan said directly:


    "Can you still reach Richard by message now?"


    "No."


    Irene shook her head, walked into the bedroom and found a mobile phone, and said:


    ��I messaged him a week ago asking when he was going back to New York, but he never got back to me.��


    "Fu-k."


    Ryder slapped himself on the head and cursed, while Roan took the phone and handed it to Lacey, saying:


    "Lacey, immediately take this phone back to the No. 5 investigation team and let Mona try to see if she can use this phone to locate the location of Richard''s phone at this time."


    "OK."


    Nodding after taking the phone, Lacey quickly walked out of the apartment and started the SUV to return to the No. 5 investigation team.


    In the apartment, Ryder poured himself and Roan a cup of coffee, poured another cup of coffee and handed it to Irene, said in a deep voice:


    "Ms. Irene, you must have guessed a possible state of Richard at this time.


    So I hope you will think about it carefully. Is there anything wrong with Richard''s words and actions before he left you? "


    After taking the coffee, Irene''s face was pale and her hands were shaking.


    After thinking for a long time, Irene shook her head:


    "I''m really sorry, Mr. Detective, I don''t know what is wrong with you, because Richard was bankrupt at the time, and the whole person has always been wrong."


    "Will Richard repeat certain words after drinking?"


    Roan sat opposite Irene, and slowly guided:


    "Such as repeatedly scolding someone?"


    "This one does exist."


    Irene nodded:


    "He kept saying that he misjudged the wrong person, trusted the wrong person and so on."


    Ryder, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Irene, he knew who Richard was scolding.


    Roan continued to ask:


    "Then did Richard say what he planned to do? Like revenge or something."


    "No."


    Irene shook her head:


    ��I didn��t hear what Richard said about revenge, nor did I hear what he planned to do. I only heard him say that this is God��s punishment for him.��


    "God?"


    Roan''s brain turned sharply, as if he had discovered something:


    "Richard is a Christian?"


    "Yes, Richard has always been Protestant."


    Irene answered subconsciously, then suddenly remembered something, her body froze suddenly, she turned her head and said in a stuttering voice:


    "Mr. Detective, I remembered something.


    After Richard went bankrupt, every time he sobered up from alcoholism, he drove to a church for confession.


    And Richard sent me a message saying that the day he left New York, he also drank a lot of alcohol, and at the same time I never saw the two cars again. "


    "Great, Erin, this is great information!"


    Roan''s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked where the address of the church was.


    Ryder next to him also grinned, straightened up and stood up. Could it be that it was the hand of the pastor of the church?


    "That church is in New Jersey."


    Eileen found a Bible that was pressed under the bed. There was a bookmark inside, and the address of the church was on the bookmark.


    "Good."


    Taking the bookmark, Roan and Ryder immediately left the apartment, and then... took out their mobile phones to call the SWAT operation team.


    On the one hand, they need their help to arrest people later, on the other hand, the SUV of the No. 5 investigation team was driven away, and Roan and Ryder needed someone to pick them up.


    ����


    The vehicle of the SWAT operation team was driving towards the target location at high speed, and Roan was sitting in the back, calling Mona.


    "How is it? Did you find out where Richard''s cell phone is?"


    "Sorry."


    Mona in the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team sat on a chair and said helplessly:


    "The other party didn''t answer the phone or reply to the message, so I couldn''t find out the specific location of the other party.


    But we found the last time Richard''s car was seen, on the highways in New Jersey and New York. "


    Roan was already mentally prepared for this result, and briefly described the new clues he had just obtained from Irene. Roan finally said:


    "Check with William and the pastor of this church to see what is going on with him and whether he is suspected of committing a crime."


    "OK, give me a moment."


    Mona nodded, hung up the phone and began to work quickly with William and other technical agents.


    At 9:47 p.m., Roan, Ryder and a team of SWAT guys arrived at the church in New Jersey.


    At this time, the church was pitch black, and Roan and Ryder led several SWAT team members to block the front and rear doors of the church.


    After counting down to three, the two led the swat team and rushed in together.

 Chapter 245： culprit and truth

    Chapter 245 The real murderer and the truth


    However, this time the people entered the church in a more gentle way. They did not use kicks or bombs. Instead, a SWAT team member used a crowbar to quickly pry the door open.


    No way, the religious atmosphere in the Federation is very strong. Although Luo An doesn''t believe in religion, there are still many SWAT members who believe in religion.


    "FBI!"


    "Federals!"


    "Cover!"


    "Speed! Speed!"


    After the gate was pried open, a group of SWAT members rushed into the church. Because there was no light, everyone quickly checked every room in the church with the flashlight in front of the gun.


    "Stairs safe!"


    "The lobby is safe!"


    Roan and Ryder followed closely behind, and soon found a room where the pastor lived behind the church.


    Kicking the door open, Roan ignored Ryder''s twitching mouth, broke into the room and quickly checked the situation inside.


    But unfortunately, the room was empty.


    A SWAT team member came over:


    "The whole church is empty."


    Roan nodded and began to observe the bedroom carefully.


    The owner of the bedroom is very clean, and there is no dust on the corners of the bookshelves.


    Not only that, but the things in the whole bedroom are also arranged very neatly. The documents on the table are perfectly stacked together. When you open the closet, the clothes and pants inside are also neatly folded without any wrinkles.


    Opening the refrigerator, and seeing the food in a well-organized and organized manner, Ryder was speechless:


    "The obsessive-compulsive disorder of the owner of this bedroom is probably not as serious as usual."


    "Exactly."


    Roan nodded, and then found something behind the wardrobe in the bedroom, and moved the wardrobe away forcefully, behind it was a locked door.


    The two people in the room looked at each other, and Ryder called a SWAT team member to take the pliers to snap off the lock, and then Roan and Ryder pushed open the door and walked in.


    This hidden room is not big, and the layout is very simple.


    There is a cross hanging on the wall, a red carpet on the ground, and a small wooden box in the corner of the room.


    Open the box, and there is a barbed whip and a glass bottle inside, which is a stick-shaped object that was cut off with a knife and is unique to men.


    "..."


    Ryder��s eyelids twitched, he closed the box and turned his head:


    "It''s not going to be that pastor''s..."


    "High probability."


    Roan''s face remained unchanged. When he walked out of this room, he found a note on the desk in the outer room. Just as he was about to open it, a SWAT team member came over:


    "Sir, we found something on the lawn behind the church."


    "Um?"


    Roan and Ryder hurried out of the room, followed the leadership of the SWAT team, and walked to a green plant on the edge of the lawn behind the church.


    At this time, two SWATs were busy beside the green plant, and the stench of corpses was emitting from there.


    "Call someone from the trace inspection department."


    Luan walked up to the corpse and looked at it without changing his expression, then turned around and said:


    "The clothes of this corpse are similar to Richard''s clothes in a photo on the refrigerator of Irene''s house."


    "OK."


    Ryder understood the meaning of Roan''s words, and immediately took out his mobile phone to call the trace inspection department.


    Roan re-entered the bedroom. Just as he opened the notebook he found earlier, the phone in his pocket rang again.


    Press the answer button:


    "Roan."


    "It''s me, Mona."


    In the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Mona looked at the information she had just found in the computer and said:


    "I found out in the information of the church that the Baptist pastor of your church is named Terrence Robb. Transferred to your church.


    His elder brother is named Holden Rob, 41 years old this year, the owner of a small chemical factory, and a member of the club where Paul Blake and the others belonged before.


    According to his financial situation, Holden-Rob has also messed with others, but some time ago, Holden''s chemical plant went bankrupt, and Holden also committed suicide.


    Holden''s poker players include not only the four of Paul, but also Richard Meyer. "


    "Excellent, Mona."


    Roan nodded while flipping through the notebook, which can explain the death of the four Paul Blakes, but he still has a question:


    "Mona, what happened to Terrence Robb''s mistake a year ago?"


    "The specific content can''t be found. You know, the materials in places like the church are all paper."


    Mona on the other end of the phone curled her lips, then tapped the keyboard a few times, and said:


    "But I checked the case records related to that church some time before Terrence Robb was transferred.


    NYPD once destroyed a **** bar on suspicion of gambling, and then NYPD went to that church to investigate.


    Although I did not find out the specific content of the NYPD investigation, I found a screenshot of a video photo that looked very similar to Terrence Robb in the surveillance camera diagonally opposite the bar. "


    "OK."


    Roan nodded. It seems that Terrence Robb''s so-called "mistake" should be his surname orientation that he has been hiding all along. A place like the church is, after all, a well-known conservative side of the Federation.


    However, Roan felt that the church was making a fuss over a molehill. Didn��t they just like boys? In the past, there were pastors in Europe who liked little boys.


    Is it because Terrence Robb likes older ones?


    The content in the notebook is not complicated, mainly the requests and needs of the people who come to this church to worship. Roan did not find the psychological diary of Terrence Robb that he imagined.


    However, Roan found a space in the wardrobe. The space is not too big or small, just enough to hold a schoolbag.


    Thinking that Terrence Robb basically commits crimes every five days, and crimes must be done in advance, so Roan put the phone to his ear again:


    "Mona, can you find out where Terrence Robb is now?"


    "There is a suspected location."


    Mona on the other end of the phone tapped the keyboard a few times and said:


    ��There was a guy named Raymond Lakoff playing cards with his brother.


    But I didn''t find any evidence that Raymond was involved in his brother''s chemical plant, and Raymond had been abroad before and after the chemical plant accident. "


    "Terence will not carefully investigate the specific situation of Raymond in this matter now. He has killed four people, and his movements and methods are becoming more and more proficient, which shows that he has now begun to enjoy the feeling of controlling the fate of others. .��


    Roan quickly walked out of the bedroom and said:


    "Lacie, you can pretend to be a believer and call Terrence Robb for help. The information I found in the notebook shows that he does not discriminate against female believers.


    Mona, when Lacey called, you should have a way to locate the specific location of the other party, right? "


    Although it is not often shown, Lacey, who was born in the Intelligence Department, is not generally proficient in disguising other characters.


    Regarding this point, Lacey''s explanation is that practice makes perfect.


    I don''t know where she is familiar with.


    So when she heard Roan''s words, Lacey agreed without thinking, and Mona also crossed her hands and stretched forward, her fingers creaking:


    "Trust me, if Terrence Robb answers the phone, I''ll find him!"


    "Good."


    Roan walked out of the church and took Ryder and several SWAT team members into the car:


    "Find the location of the other party and send me the location immediately."


    "no problem!"


    Three minutes later, when everything was ready, Lacey sat next to Mona and took a deep breath, pressed Terrence Rob''s cell phone number and called him.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 246： End of Action and Late Party

    Chapter 246 The end of the operation and the late party


    Lacey''s camouflage skills are very superb, and when she is brought into the role, she is even more lifelike.


    According to Roan''s request, when Lacey called Terrence Robb, she pretended to be a female believer who had gone to church some time ago, but recently encountered difficulties in life and didn''t know what to do.


    Although Terrence Rob was a little surprised at the beginning, he was successfully tricked by Lacey with words, so Terence Rob didn''t have any doubts in the end, and began to enlighten Lacey.


    The moment Terrence Rob answered the phone, Mona''s ten fingers began to dance rapidly, and she quickly located the other party according to the meeting point between the signal towers.


    "Roan, the other party is in Queens!"


    "OK!"


    Getting the specific location, Roan told the SWAT team member who was driving the location, and the other party directly stepped on the accelerator and rushed out with the SWAT mobile car.


    Although there are not as many vehicles at night in New York as during the day, the rich nightlife still provides a lot of vehicles for the streets of New York.


    However, this did not delay the speed of Luo An and his party. The red and blue flashes of the SWAT vehicle made the drivers on the road give way.


    Being hit by a SWAT mobile vehicle is still a trivial matter. If SWAT later accuses itself of "obstructing official duties" and other titles, it will be too troublesome.


    According to the location, Terrence Rob is not far from Raymond Lakov''s house. Roan and Ryder packed their weapons and got out of the car quickly after arriving at the target location.


    "Ryder, one person and one team, you are on the left and I am on the right."


    "OK."


    A few blocks away from Raymond Lakoff''s house, there are several 24-hour shops and movie theaters, etc., and there is a lot of people here at this time.


    Roan, Ryder and others walked in from the two entrances of the street, one south and one north. At the same time, some heavy equipment was removed, and a black coat was worn outside the FBI body armor.


    Roan led a SWAT team member while walking, while carefully observing the pedestrians on the road and the chairs for people to rest on the roadside.


    Not far away, Roan sat on a chair next to a trash can and saw a middle-aged white male with a schoolbag beside him and a notebook in his hand writing.


    "We see Terrence Robb."


    Pressing the communicator, Roan whispered:


    "On the stool next to the trash can."


    Received Roan''s instructions, and Ryder quickly discovered the other party:


    "OK, we saw it too."


    Roan and Led Qiqi led people to surround Terence Rob''s position calmly. Terence Rob seemed to feel something. After looking around for a week, he frowned, picked up his schoolbag, straightened up and sat on the chair. Get ready to get out of there.


    At this time, there were no passers-by around the chair except Terrence Robb. Roan did not hesitate to see this, and immediately took out his pistol with the SWAT team and aimed at each other:


    "FBI! Hold on!"


    Terrence Rob''s face suddenly changed and he was about to run, but Ryder had already led two SWAT players to block him:


    "FBI!"


    "Don''t move! Put down the schoolbag in your hand!"


    Passers-by around this small area all ran away the moment Roan pulled out his pistol and yelled, and Terrence Robb''s face was extremely ugly when he saw that he was completely surrounded.


    "I don''t want that."


    After realizing that he had no way to escape, Terrence Rob''s face gradually became desperate:


    "I swear to God, I really didn''t mean to!"


    Roan was not in the mood to discuss this kind of matter with the other party. Seeing Terrence Rob reaching into his schoolbag while talking, he shouted again:


    "Get your hands off your schoolbag immediately! Terrence!"


    But Terence Rob didn''t stop, and even took out a pistol from inside.


    boom! boom! boom!


    The next second they saw the pistol, Roan, Ryder and the others all pulled the trigger of the pistol at the same time.


    Several streams of blood flowed out, and Terrence Rob fell to the ground slowly.


    Walking slowly to Terence Rob''s side, Roan kicked the pistol away from Terence Rob''s side:


    "Call an ambulance immediately."


    "OK."


    Ryder turns and leaves.


    Pick up the schoolbag and open it. There is not only a knife, some clothes, but also the notes written by Terrence Robb just now.


    After making the phone call, Ryder came back, saw the note in Roan''s hand, and asked:


    "What did you find?"


    "Some behavioral trajectories and personal information of Paul Blake and others, such as home address, license plate number, etc."


    Roan casually flipped through it a few times, then handed it to Ryder:


    "And Terrence Robb''s own mental thoughts, and some "revelation" from God to him."


    "God wouldn''t let a man chop off his stuff."


    Ryder pouted, flipped through the notes casually, and put them into the evidence bag.


    "really."


    Roan nodded, and when he saw the ambulance coming a moment later, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked with a smile:


    "By the way, Ryder, how do you feel about the city of Los Angeles?"


    Ryder: "?"


    ����


    the next day.


    Because he was busy until night yesterday, Roan didn''t get out of bed and drive to work until noon the next day.


    Then at my own workstation, I was on line with the guys in the community on the computer for an afternoon, and soon it was time to get off work.


    At eight o''clock in the evening, a barbecue restaurant called "Blue Tuna" near the Jacobs Federal Building.


    This is the one where investigation team No. 5 went after Luo An was promoted to deputy team leader last time.


    "cheers!"


    All the detectives of investigation team No. 5 raised their glasses and cheered.


    Drank the beer in the glass in one gulp, Augustus refilled himself again, then raised the glass and said loudly:


    "Everyone! Tonight''s gathering is not only because our No. 5 investigation team won the collective medal, but also because we successfully solved a serial murder case!


    Among these two things, there is one person who contributed the most, and that is our deputy team leader Luo An!


    So, let''s toast Roan! "


    "Greetings Roan!"


    Everyone raised their wine glasses and clinked glasses with Roan.


    Roan picked up the wine glass:


    "It is not my own efforts to win the collective medal and solve the case. It has always been inseparable from everyone''s support. I would like to offer a toast to everyone!"


    "Ha ha��"


    Everyone laughed in unison, and the atmosphere of the party became much more heated.


    After drinking the wine in the glass, Ryder and Mona took the steak and seafood and ate it. Lacey ran off to nowhere, and most likely she fell in love with another waitress.


    Roan swallowed the oyster in his mouth, turned to look at Augustus, thought for a while, and asked in a low voice:


    "Sir, regarding my transfer to Los Angeles next month... do you have any plans for the future?"


    The detection rate of the No. 5 investigation team is basically driven by Roan alone. Augustus is not very good at handling cases. During this time, he has been in charge of logistics, mainly dealing with equipment funds and follow-up work of the case.


    If he leaves, the detection rate of investigation team No. 5...


    Augustus, who understood the subtext in Roan''s words, gave him a blank look, then patted Roan''s shoulder, and said:


    "You don''t have to worry about it, I have my own way."


    Seeing Augustus'' face full of confidence, Roan chuckled, raised his glass and toasted Augustus.


    The atmosphere of the party that night was very lively, but there is no permanent banquet in the world. In addition, there will be normal work tomorrow, so after more than an hour, the agents began to return to their respective homes.


    Roan and Mona were just about to leave when Ryder came over suddenly and said that he had something to do.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 247： Ryders idea to take stock of Harvest Monas father

    Chapter 247 Ryder''s Ideas Inventory Harvesting Mona''s Father


    In the parking lot next to the restaurant, Roan and Ryder walked to the back of the Chevrolet.


    Roan made a drink break:


    "What''s wrong, Ryder?"


    "It''s about switching places with the Los Angeles branch."


    Ryder hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice:


    "Sorry, Roan, I want to stay in New York."


    Hearing Ryder''s words, the expression on Roan''s face did not change, and he understood the reason for the other party''s choice after a turn of his head:


    "It''s because of Yvonne and your son, right?"


    "Exactly."


    Ryder nodded. If he went to Los Angeles by himself, Yvonne and her son would have to go with her too. Being separated for a long time is not a good choice for either the wife or the children.


    Besides, Yvonne''s relatives and friends are not only in Texas, but also in New York. The two of them have no acquaintances in the city of Los Angeles.


    In addition, the child is also at the age of entering school this year. If he changes to a new school or a new residence, the child''s adaptability will also be a problem.


    "OK."


    Roan slapped his head, and Ryder was different from himself, Mona, and Lacey.


    Especially Lacey, she said in the previous chat that unless the Federation made same-sex marriage legal, she would never give up the big forest outside even if she was ninety years old.


    When Roan heard this, he laughed. He remembered correctly. In his previous life, in the middle of 2015, the Federal Supreme Court issued a ruling that same-sex marriage was constitutional.


    At that time, Roan will want to see if Lacey will give up the entire forest for a single tree.


    Ryder is already in his forties this year, has a wife and children, and his family has a greater influence on him.


    Moreover, Yi Ryder was transferred from SWAT, and his age problem also makes his room for promotion not very large.


    Seeing that Roan had no other emotions, Ryder was relieved:


    "Sorry, Roan."


    "No, I didn''t think twice."


    Roan shook his head. Family culture is one of the most basic and characteristic cultures of the Federation. Ryder did this for his own children, so he has no dissatisfaction.


    "But if you stay in New York, you will be busy later."


    The two chatted briefly, and Luo An suddenly smiled and said:


    "I''m afraid Augustus will turn you into a cow."


    After Roan left, when investigation team No. 5 came back with a new case, the only familiar old people were Ryder and William.


    William is a technical agent and will not go out to work, so when Augustus finds some new agents to join the No. 5 investigation team, Ryder, as a senior, must bear more responsibilities and pressure.


    "But the new car of investigation team No. 5 also belongs to me."


    Ryder laughed, there is no man who doesn''t like cars, let alone the FBI''s special SUV, because he was in a hurry to solve the case and arrest people and Roan was fast, so Ryder couldn''t grab the driver''s seat.


    But after Roan left, that position would naturally belong to Ryder.


    Luo An was a little speechless when he heard the words. After he came to the No. 5 investigation team, he has been driving the old car. He finally got the old car for repairs, and asked Augustus to change to a new one. As a result, he had to leave the new car before driving it a few times. up.


    After thinking about it, Roan leaned over to Ryder and whispered that when Ryder drove that new car in the future, he could "indulge" a little bit.


    Because of this, when he returned to New York, Roan felt that he only needed to work a little harder before he could get a new car.


    Ryder: "��"


    ����


    In the next few days, Roan first told Augustus and Vernis about Ryder, then returned to his workstation, continued to chat with his friends in the computer forum, and greeted each other by the way. , or greet someone with the other person.


    During the period, Roan calculated his gains during this period.


    After the first lady bombing, Roan sold his experience in solving the case and obtained $1.83 million after tax from Columbia Pictures, as well as $1 million before tax and $670,000 after tax from the First Lady Foundation.


    Plus $90,000 for three medals, $4,000 double bonus for cracking the bombing, $4,000 double bonus for cracking the serial murder, and $4,000 this month��s salary.


    After a simple calculation, Roan found that he had earned a total of 2,602,000 US dollars during this period.


    After all the funds entered the account, Roan drove to Wall Street again.


    The stock Roan bought for the first time was Apple, the stock he bought for the second time was Microsoft, and the third time he changed another company, this time to Amazon.


    After all, it is the Internet age. With the rise of online shopping, Amazon��s stock price continued to rise after the Internet bubble in 2000. It was less than $6 in 2001, but by 2012, Amazon��s stock price had exceeded $180.


    With such a huge increase, Roan has no reason not to buy it.


    All 2.5 million US dollars was used to buy Amazon''s stock. After the operation was completed, Roan looked at the rising Apple stock and Microsoft stock with a satisfied smile on his face.


    It is one step closer to the dream of earning a small goal.


    After buying a bunch of food and returning to investigation team No. 5, Luo An pushed open the door of the investigation team, and was surprised to find that none of the agents were working, but were all standing neatly at the front of the office area, watching the TV above. news.


    "Here''s your chicken wrap."


    Roan handed a package of food to Lacey casually, and then asked:


    "What are you looking at?"


    "Do you still remember Magdalena who was captured by Mona and Ryder before?"


    Lacey opened the packaging bag, opened her mouth and took a bite, then pointed to the TV in front of her, and said:


    "Magdalena''s sister, the Palfrey known as "Mrs. Washington," was charged today.


    But I don��t know what happened. Just now, several well-known news media suddenly said that Palfrey has a lot of phone records of prostitutes and other information, which involves a large number of military and political officials, businessmen and celebrities.


    Although these media do not have the specific content of the information now, it can be said that everyone in Washington is in danger. "


    "Wow."


    Roan picked up a non-spicy chicken roll and took a bite, nodding slightly in his heart.


    It seems that Mr. Clement made the move.


    But this matter has nothing to do with me, just watch the show quietly.


    Thinking of this, Roan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, took another bite of the chicken roll, then took a sip of coffee, and began to read the news happily.


    At this moment, Mona suddenly patted Roan''s arm, then pointed to the lounge next to her.


    Roan was a little puzzled, but still walked behind Mona.


    "What''s wrong, Mona?"


    After eating the chicken rolls in a few big bites, Roan picked up a piece of toilet paper and wiped his hands, then asked with a smile:


    "You will not stay in New York like Ryder?"


    "No, not this matter."


    Mona held a cup of coffee in both hands, with a complicated expression on her face. She shook her head when she heard Roan''s words, and whispered after a long silence:


    "I just got a call from my father, he said he will return to China in six months, and then leave the CIA to transfer to other federal law enforcement agencies.


    Estimated work location is...Los Angeles. "


    Roan: "..."

 Chapter 248： 【Case of Old Girl and Male Corpse in Garbage Dump】

    Chapter 248 [The case of the corpse of an old girl in a garbage dump]


    When he learned that Mona''s father was going to Los Angeles in a few months, the expression on Roan''s face remained the same, but his heart had exploded.


    Is Los Angeles such a good city?


    Although he lived two lifetimes, it was the first time for Luo An to meet the woman''s elders. When a man saw the other''s elders for the first time, he understood the anxiety in his heart.


    Moreover, Mona''s father is a CIA who has been performing missions outside for many years... Roan thinks that although the possibility of the other party''s attack is not high, it is not impossible.


    After Mona finished speaking, she continued to chat with Roan briefly, then turned and left the lounge.


    Roan followed closely behind, and returned to his workstation with Mona.


    There is an old saying in the East that a car must find a way when it reaches the mountain, and a boat will naturally sink when it reaches the bridge.


    However, some information still needs to be inquired in advance, so Roan began to insinuate about Mona''s father''s personal situation.


    Then Roan learned that Mona''s father was not from New York. Before marrying Mona''s mother, he had been living in Chicago.


    Chicago, the third largest city in the Federation, is not only the capital of finance and technology, but also its title of "Crime City".


    is a city where congressmen have called and proposed to require people in the city of Chicago to cease fire between 9 am and 9 pm.


    Roan: "..."


    ����


    The time of this week passed quickly. On Saturday and Sunday, Roan and Mona watched movies + went shopping, and did some exchange of feelings and sweat in the evening, so time came to Monday of the next week in the blink of an eye.


    Early in the morning, all the detectives were chattering, while Luo An was sitting on a chair and letting his mind go, slowly accepting the reality that he had started working again.


    Boom!


    "Everyone! Here comes a new case!"


    The door of the office area was pushed open with a bang, and August''s iconic loud voice rang out again.


    But when the agents turned their attention to Augustus, they found that he was not holding the documents in his hand as usual.


    "Just now, a body was found in a garbage dump in the suburbs of New York.


    Because it belongs to the territory of the federal government, the NYPD called us. "


    "OK."


    Roan took a sip of coffee, got up and went to the crime scene with Mona.


    The location of the incident is a little far from Manhattan Island, and it is a garbage dump itself, so the smell is very magical and complicated. Roan and Mona sneezed twice as soon as they got off the car.


    "Hello, I''m Roan Greenwood from Investigation Team No. 5."


    Showing the golden badge to the NYPD waiting at the scene, Roan and Mona raised the cordon and walked into the crime scene, asking:


    "What''s the situation with that corpse? Has the identity been checked?"


    "Hello, deputy team leader Luo An."


    NYPD reached out and shook Roan''s hand. Hearing Roan''s question, he explained:


    "Sorry, there is not one body, but two."


    "What?"


    Roan frowned, Mona showed surprise on her face, she turned her head and asked:


    "But when you called, didn''t you say a dead body?"


    "Yeah."


    NYPD spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face:


    "But when we found the first body, we briefly checked the nearby garbage, and then in a cardboard box, we found the second body."


    "All right."


    Mona sighed when she heard the words, and she and Roan had already walked to the side of the first corpse.


    NYPD began to briefly introduce:


    "The corpse is about 60 years old, a white female, with no wallet, no bank card, and no information related to her identity."


    The corpse had been covered with a white cloth. Roan bent down and lifted the white cloth. A body with a severely damaged face and a watermelon almost split in half appeared in front of his eyes.


    Beside Mona also saw this scene, cursed a word beginning with F in a low voice, then turned her head and asked:


    "Has the murder weapon been found?"


    "No, there is too much garbage here, we can''t find it."


    NYPD shook his head, then pointed to a black pocket not far away:


    "However, we found a **** disposable raincoat inside, which should have been left by the murderer."


    Roan nodded, covered the white cloth and led Mona to the second corpse, asking at the same time:


    "Can you find out which garbage dump brought these two corpses?"


    ��This dump is responsible for half of New York City��s trash, with nearly 150 garbage trucks going in and out every day.��


    NYPD followed Roan and said:


    "If it weren''t for the fact that the grinder in this garbage dump is a bit old, and the grinder is easy to get stuck if the garbage is not broken up, so that the staff of the garbage dump had to break up the garbage manually, the two corpses might have been crushed directly. Once the shredder is finished, there is no way we will find these two bodies."


    "Hope the staff who found the body have sweet dreams tonight."


    Roan said something casually, then bent down and began to look at the second corpse.


    The second corpse was a little boy, about six or seven years old. The overall body was somewhat mummified, and the traces of careful handling were obvious.


    Not only that, Roan also found that the fingers of the boy''s ten fingers had also disappeared.


    "What a bad day."


    Roan sighed, covered the white cloth of the second corpse again, then turned back to Mona and said:


    "Call the people in the trace inspection department."


    "OK."


    Mona nodded. Just as she took out her phone, Roan suddenly thought of something and added:


    "By the way, let me tell you about the situation at the scene and ask them to send more people and drive a slightly larger car. I''m afraid they need to take all the garbage around the two corpses back."


    Looking at the dense black packaging bags and all kinds of garbage near the two corpses, Mona grinned:


    "OK, no problem."


    ����


    At 12 noon, the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    "So, one homicide turned into two homicides?"


    Lacey picked up the coffee and took a sip, with a surprised expression on her face.


    "Exactly."


    Ryder nodded, and continued:


    "But there is also a good thing, that is, Roan and Mona didn''t find the third body in that dump."


    "That''s great news."


    Lacey was a little speechless, and then asked:


    "What are Roan and Mona doing now?"


    "Waiting for the forensic autopsy in the trace inspection department, and looking through the garbage to find clues."


    Ryder patted Lacey on the shoulder and said with a smile:


    "But because there is too much garbage on site, they won''t be able to finish it in a while, so Roan asked me and you to help."


    Lacey: "��"


    Trace Inspection Department, the forensic doctor has completed the preliminary inspection of the two corpses:


    "Corpse No. 1 had twelve puncture wounds on the left and right breasts, but the real cause of her death was pneumothorax."


    Roan stood aside and nodded:


    "That means she choked on her own blood, right?"


    "Exactly."


    The forensic doctor turned around and continued:


    "No other body fluids were found in the lower body of the corpse, but there were lacerations inside, and some small wooden thorns were also found. We found a qualified wooden table leg in one of the garbage bags."


    Mona looked to be in her 60s, but her skin was in good condition. The well-maintained corpse frowned. Roan, who was standing next to her, remained expressionless and asked:


    "Have you found out the identity of the victim?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 249： Women also indulge too much

    Chapter 249 Women can indulge too much


    "I''m afraid it will take a while."


    The forensic doctor heard the words with his hands on his hips and explained:


    "The fingerprints of No. 1 corpse were not found in the FBI''s internal database, indicating that she has never been in prison.


    At the same time, the face of corpse No. 1 was beaten to pieces by the murderer. If you want to make a facial comparison, you have to wait for my colleague to complete the facial construction, which will take a little time. "


    The forensic doctor raised his right hand, and used his thumb and index finger to make a gesture of insulting a man from a certain country.


    Considering that the facial construction technology in 2005 was not perfect, Luo An judged that the gap between the two fingertips of the forensic doctor was about three days.


    "All right."


    Roan turned his attention to the body of the second little boy:


    "What was his cause of death?"


    "The most common mechanical asphyxiation."


    The forensic doctor walked to the side of No. 2 corpse and said:


    "But he has traces of being invaded by the stars, and the location where he was invaded by the stars has not been recovered, which means that he was invaded by the stars shortly before his death.


    At the same time, according to the test, his bone age is 7 years old, and the time of death is about one month to one and a half months. Judging from the preservation of the body, he has been kept in a low-temperature environment since his death. "


    After listening to the forensic doctor''s introduction, Luo An subconsciously thought of the priest in the previous case.


    Shaking his head and throwing his thoughts aside, Roan continued to ask:


    "So, can the identity of deceased No. 2 be found out?"


    "Sorry, I can''t find it yet."


    Seeing the dissatisfaction on Roan''s face, the forensic doctor was also very helpless, sighed and said:


    "The murderer had amputated all ten fingers of corpse No. 2, so there were no fingerprints, and because he was too young, there was no way to make a facial comparison.


    But give us a little time, my colleagues may be able to find the fingerprints of the murderer or the corpse on the box or clothes containing the No. 2 corpse. "


    Mona''s eyes showed disappointment when she heard the words, Roan frowned slightly, continued to chat with the forensic doctor for a few words, then turned and left the interrogation room.


    "Mona, you go back to the No. 5 investigation team and check the monitoring of the garbage dump with William and the others to see if you can find the garbage truck that transported the two corpses.


    If you find it, carefully check the forward route of the two garbage trucks, and try to find the place where the corpse may have been discarded. "


    "No problem, leave it to me."


    Mona has always been handy with computer matters, so she immediately smiled and turned and walked to the elevator not far away.


    The elevator door closed slowly, and Luo An turned around and went to another large room of the Trace Inspection Department.


    In this big room at this time, Ryder and Lacey were digging through the garbage with several detectives from the trace inspection department.


    "I feel like no girl will want to approach me for the next week."


    Throwing aside a bag of kitchen waste dripping with an unknown yellow-brown liquid, Lacey twitched and said to Ryder:


    "This smell may last on the skin for a month!"


    "That''s just in time for you to rest for a while."


    Ryder smiled and did not answer. Roan, who pushed the door into the room, just heard this sentence, so he replied with a smile:


    "Don''t think that if you are a woman, you won''t have the problem of excessive indulgence. Be careful that some gynecological inflammations will come to you."


    "snort."


    Lacey wrinkled her nose and snorted softly. She didn''t care on the surface, but she took down Roan''s words in her heart quietly.


    Mainly recently, Lacey has found that she always suffers from insomnia, loss of appetite, and some pain in her lower abdomen.


    Went to the hospital for an examination and the doctor didn��t find any problems. If it��s really because of my excessive indulgence��


    After all, Lacey is already in her thirties, she doesn''t trust Roan blindly, but when she went shopping with Yvonne last weekend, she found that Yvonne''s complexion was much better than before, and she often praised Roan Germany.


    Taking a chair and sitting beside him, Roan asked:


    "How about it, did you find any useful clues?"


    "The investigators of the Trace Inspection Section found a **** coat not long ago."


    Ryder pointed to the next room and said:


    "The coat had marks of being stabbed by a knife, and the location of the knife edge was similar to the position of the wound of victim No. 1, so the detectives from the trace inspection department took the coat for a blood test.


    The identification results showed that the blood on the jacket was indeed from corpse No. 1, but no fingerprints of other people were found on the jacket. "


    Roan heard the words, raised his head in silence for a moment and asked:


    "What about the style of the coat?"


    Ryder was slightly taken aback:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Lacey on the side reacted, clapping her hands and her eyes lit up:


    ��We don��t know the identity of deceased number 1 yet.


    But we can find the store that sells the coat through the style of the clothes, and then find the person who bought the coat through that store, so as to find the identity of the No. 1 deceased! "


    "Exactly."


    Roan gave Lacey a satisfied look. When listening to the forensic doctor in the anatomy room just now, both Roan and Mona found that the skin of corpse No. 1 was well maintained.


    Caucasian women��s skin is far less delicate than that of Orientals, and they can maintain such a good condition in their 60s. The family background and economic level must be unusual, and the coats of such people cannot be the common style on the street.


    Roan got up and left the chair, pulled Lacey and walked quickly to the room where the coat was.


    The coat was put together with other physical evidence related to deceased No. 1. Roan took it out of an evidence bag and handed it to Lacey.


    Lacey often goes out shopping with different women and knows more about brands than Roanne.


    Sure enough, Lacey took the coat and observed it carefully. After a few seconds, she raised her head and said confidently:


    "The brand of the jacket is SuperTrash, and the style is the latest this spring. Most of the stores of this brand are in Manhattan!"


    "very good!"


    Roan nodded, and immediately took Lacey back to the No. 5 investigation team.


    Mona, William and others are looking for monitoring at this time, but found nothing.


    Because the garbage dump in the suburbs has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has not made much money, the federal government has already planned to sell it to a private company, so there are no surveillance cameras installed at all.


    "What?"


    For such a large garbage dump, the federal government has never been able to make money, and even has to subsidize it every year?


    Roan felt a little confused about this, and didn''t understand how the group of people in the federal government operated.


    But this is not important, tell William and Mona the name of the coat brand, Roan began to ask Mona and William to investigate carefully the consumers who have bought this style of coat.


    Because there are not many stores of this brand in New York, and the No. 1 deceased was older, so not long after, Mona and the others found each other''s identity in a member store:


    "Flavia Faran, 63 years old, works in the New York Health Department and is a doctor!


    Her husband has died, but when he was young, he owned a big company and left Flavia-Farlan a large inheritance after his death. "


    "Good."


    Roan nodded, this also explains why Flavia-Francia is rich.


    Leaving the chair and stretching, Roan continued to ask:


    "Where is Flavia-Farlan''s home? Do you have any close relatives living in New York?"


    After tapping the keyboard a few times, Mona replied:


    "Her home is on Manhattan Island, and she has no close relatives. Her son also died of AIDS at the beginning of this year."


    Roan frowned slightly when he heard this, and pulled Lacey into the equipment room quickly, then drove the SUV to Flavia-Francia''s home.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 250： HIV positive

    Chapter 250 People living with HIV


    Manhattan Island, Greenwich Village.


    The pitch-black SUV slowly pulled up to the side of the road. Lacey got out of the car, looked at the huge single-family apartment in front of her, and patted Roan on the shoulder:


    "Roan, it seems that this place is not very far from your home, right?"


    Roan looked at the big house in front of him, which was at least three times larger than his small apartment, and nodded with his tongue.


    Flavia-Farlan''s house is in the southernmost part of Greenwich Village, and Roan''s house is in the northernmost part of Greenwich Village. It seems that the distance between the south and the north is very long, but in fact it is only a few minutes'' walk.


    Two investigators from the Trace Inspection Division followed behind and opened the door of Flavia-Fran''s house through technical means. Roan entered Flavia-Fran''s house and went straight to the study.


    Lacey went straight to the bedroom as usual. Roan opened his mouth when he saw this, but in the end he didn''t say much.


    I don''t know if her **** attribute will be activated again this time.


    Pushing open the door and entering the study, Luo An saw a few stacks of documents on the table that were taller than people.


    Roan flipped through and found that there were some cases and medical knowledge, etc., and then found a locked cabinet under the desk.


    Open the cabinet calmly, inside is a thick folder, the folder is full of personal information and photos of some people.


    Roan checked the circle carefully and found that the people in the folder had one thing in common, that is, they were all infected with AIDS.


    Seeing the records of Flavia-Francia, many people in the folder were infected with AIDS through the transmission of surnames. Then I thought that when I first came to this world, I had contact with several women...


    Luo An''s face tightened, and he decided to go back to the hospital for a test, anyway, it won''t cost much.


    "Roan, I found something."


    Just then, Lacey opened the door and walked in.


    Seeing that there was only a mobile phone in her hand, Roan frowned and asked:


    "what''s the situation?"


    Lacey said that she found Flavia-Francia''s mobile phone in her bedroom. After turning on the mobile phone, she found that the other party had been in frequent contact with a person recently. That person was her colleague, and he had come here now.


    "OK."


    Roan nodded, and handed the folder in his hand to Lacey.


    "what?"


    Lacey was a little puzzled, but opened the folder anyway.


    Roan talked about his plan to go back to the hospital, and then asked Lacey if she wanted to go with her.


    Although HIV is not transmitted through saliva, there is more to woman-to-woman communication than just kissing.


    What if a woman is infected with AIDS and accidentally has a **** wound on her body, and Lacey accidentally comes into contact with her blood...


    The probability of this series is indeed not high, but it can''t stand that the base of women that Lacey has come into contact with is too large, and her emotional life is much richer than Roan''s.


    Sure enough, Lacey opened the folder, her face turned green when she saw the contents inside, she nodded immediately and decided to go to the hospital with Luo An for a blood test.


    It didn''t take long for Flavia-Fran''s colleagues to come here and bring two thicker folders.


    "Hello, just call me Lena."


    Flavia-Francia''s colleague is a white woman in her forties. She handed the folder to Lacey. When Roan asked her about Flavia-Francia''s recent work, she replied:


    ��Since her son died of AIDS, Flavia has devoted her work to treating AIDS patients, providing them with help, and finding the source of AIDS patients.��


    Lina said that many people do not know that they have been infected with AIDS. Flavia surveyed people who had close contact with AIDS patients, and then told the possibility to the other party and the other party''s family members.


    "Wait a moment."


    Roan interrupted the other party when he heard this frown:


    "You mean, Flavia will ignore the request of the AIDS carrier and directly tell the family of the AIDS patient?"


    "Exactly."


    Lina nodded, with a complicated expression on her face.


    Roan and Lacey looked at each other, their expressions changed slightly, and they both understood each other''s thoughts.


    Infecting with AIDS, even in a place with a relatively open atmosphere like the Federation, makes people talk about it, and AIDS patients are often discriminated against and disgusted by others.


    Fleivia''s original intention was to protect the safety of the family members of AIDS patients, and hoped that the family members could help AIDS patients to tide over this difficulty together.


    But in fact... the first feeling of the word AIDS is always fear.


    Angry parents, disgusted by wives and children, and shunned by colleagues and friends are the true portrayal of what AIDS patients face most of the time.


    Federals still value the right to privacy, and Flavia''s behavior is obviously betting her own life on the kindness of others.


    But judging from the current situation, Flavia obviously lost the bet.


    Right or wrong of Flavia''s behavior, Roan didn''t discuss it, he asked directly:


    "Has Flavia received threatening calls recently?"


    "You should ask me why she hasn''t received threatening calls."


    Lena sighed and said that since Flavia started doing this, the phone in her office has been ringing multiple times a day.


    "In addition to those who called her to scold her, there were also people who wrote threatening letters."


    Lina pointed to the two ultra-thick folders she brought, one of which was filled with threatening letters from others, and the other contained the HIV carriers that Flavia had already found out .


    ��There is a thin line between invasion of privacy and AIDS prevention.��


    Roan knew what those threatening letters would be without reading it. After thinking about it, he asked:


    "Do you know how Flavia investigated the connection between these AIDS patients? Field visits or other means?"


    "On-site visits are the main method, and there are other means."


    Lena replied:


    "Flavia has a brown notebook, which is usually placed in the red handbag she carries, and the notebook records the entire process of her investigation.


    Every time Flavia wrote a name on it, 80% of the other party had been infected with HIV in the next investigation, so we often jokingly called that notebook "the book from hell". "


    "Red handbag and brown notebook?"


    Lacey frowned when she heard the words. They didn''t see these two items, and turned to look at Roan. Roan thought that Flavia''s wallet and other belongings had disappeared, nodded and said:


    "There is a high probability that it was taken away by the murderer."


    ����


    In the afternoon of the same day, investigation team No. 5, office area.


    Ryder was distributing a few folders brought back by Roan and Lacey. Augustus stood at the front. After briefly introducing Flavia''s situation, he said loudly:


    "Everyone, the murderer who killed Flavia was most likely an AIDS patient who had contact with her. What you have in hand is the personal information of these patients.


    Our next goal is to carefully investigate and find the murderer among these people! "


    The number of people in several folders adds up to nearly 200, and there are nearly a hundred threatening letters on the other side. After Ryder distributed them, William looked at the more than forty papers on his desk and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched.


    Ryder smiled when he saw this, fortunately he is not a technical agent.


    But when he turned his head and saw that Roan and Lacey''s seats were empty at this time, Ryder was a little puzzled. He hadn''t heard of any new missions.


    Augus took a sip of coffee:


    "The two of them asked for leave with me just now to deal with some private matters."


    Beside Mona who also looked puzzled: "??!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 251： Laceys blood test results and the suspects

    Chapter 251 Lacey''s blood test results and the suspect


    A private hospital in Manhattan, New York.


    This hospital often receives well-known rich people and politicians from all walks of life in the New York area, so it is very private.


    In a certain VIP reception room, Roan and Lacey were waiting for the blood test results.


    The expression on Luo An''s face is quite calm. After he came to this world, he has not been in contact with many women. He came here for the blood test today just in case, and to reassure himself by the way.


    But Lacey beside him was sweating on her forehead at this moment, and she was restless.


    Not only because Lacey has come into contact with too many women, but also because she and Roan returned to the No. 5 investigation team with the folder, and when they carefully checked every HIV carrier in the car, they accidentally discovered that one of the women She has seen it!


    That woman is also Lesbian. Although Lacey has never had **** with her, she has had **** with her in the same bar.


    In places like bars, fish and dragons are mixed together, who knows if your fingers have walked through the same passage as the other party.


    Thinking of this, Lacey''s face became paler and paler.


    "Calm down, Lacey."


    Seeing the expression on Lacey''s face, Roan hurriedly got up and poured her a cup of coffee. Now he was a little worried that Lacey would be scared to death by his wild thoughts before the blood test results came out.


    "Thanks."


    Taking the coffee and taking a sip, Lacey took a few deep breaths, and slowly calmed down her emotions.


    After a few seconds of silence, Lacey showed a wry smile:


    "Roan, I''m afraid I know why the murderer wanted to kill Flavia.


    If the doctor opens the door and walks in and says I tested positive, honestly, I want to kill that doctor too. "


    "Forehead��"


    Roan was a little speechless, but he was still waiting for the test results at this time. It is not difficult to understand Lacey''s psychology by simply bringing it in.


    Seeing that there was still some time before the test results came out, Roan thought about it, and started chatting with Lacey to divert her attention:


    "Lacey, I feel that your result is likely to be negative. If this is the case, what are you going to do in the future?"


    Lacey was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she understood the meaning of Roan''s words to persuade herself to play less in the future, but she immediately shook her head:


    "It''s okay, Roan, I can wear a protective cover like you men in the future."


    "..."


    Roan''s face froze, what''s the use of wearing a protective cover if you''re just playing with your fingers?


    The picture was so beautiful that Roan didn''t dare to think about it. Just as he was about to continue talking, Lacey suddenly asked:


    "Roan, you and Mona are already living together, right?"


    "Exactly."


    Roan nodded, then thought that Lacey was asking him if he would tell Mona about it later, so he replied:


    "Don''t worry, I''ll take care of it."


    Receiving Roan''s affirmative answer, Lacey couldn''t help muttering a few words in a low voice.


    She originally planned to share an apartment with Mona when she went to Los Angeles.


    Now it seems that this idea is bankrupt.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    After a while, the people in the reception room were rang, and then a doctor walked in.


    After receiving the test sheet and seeing that there was nothing wrong with his blood, Luo An was relieved.


    Just when she was about to turn around, Lacey jumped over from the side and hugged Roan''s arm, shouting excitedly:


    "Great! I''m fine! I''m fine!"


    Lacey was jumping up and down on the spot, and her overall state was similar to that of someone from the East.


    Roan didn''t stop the other party. He was scared just now, so it''s good to vent his emotions now.


    "You keep strangling my arm."


    A few seconds later, Roan shook his arm:


    "You''re going to tear my sleeve off."


    Lacey quickly let go of Ronan and said:


    "Sorry, I''m so excited."


    Lacey was so emotional that she picked up the coffee on the table and drank it all in one gulp:


    "I was not as excited as I am today when I pulled a woman onto my bed for the first time!"


    Lacey''s sentence has a lot of slots, but Roan didn''t complain because he discovered another thing.


    "Lacey, I have a question for you."


    Not in a hurry to leave here, Roan pondered for a few seconds, looked up at Lacey, and asked:


    ��If you just got a positive blood test, you must really want to know who gave you HIV, right?��


    "certainly!"


    Lacey nodded, and seeing the expression on Roan''s face, she suddenly came to her senses:


    "You mean, the murderer who killed Flavia would also want to know this very much!"


    "Exactly!"


    This is completely human nature.


    And Roan also thought of another point, that is, even Flavia, who told the murderer about AIDS, the murderer killed the murderer, so what about the guy who killed the murderer infected with HIV? Will the killer let him go?


    "It is very likely that there is another dead person!"


    After listening to Roan''s analysis, Lacey slapped her hands and continued:


    "And the deceased may be in those few folders!"


    "Exactly."


    Roan immediately took Lacey out of the hospital and drove the SUV back to the Jacob Federal Building. At the same time, he told William and the others about the analysis through his mobile phone.


    "Okay, let''s check to see if anyone else has died."


    William on the other end of the phone agreed, and then said:


    "In addition, we just discovered that the phone in Flavia''s office is actually equipped with a caller ID, which can record communication records.


    According to the communication records, we found a guy who not only insulted Flavia, but also said that he would kill the other party with a knife, and poked a few holes in Flavia''s chest. "


    "It fits Flavia''s death method very well."


    Roan''s face remained the same, but the curse words were similar, and the other party could never say that he would slap Flavia''s legs when he was threatening.


    And it is impossible for William to tell him about this matter based on this sentence alone, so Roan said:


    "Are there any other discoveries?"


    "Exactly!"


    This time the voice on the other end of the phone was replaced by Mona:


    "We found the identity of the man based on the phone call, named Darrell Roger, who had been in prison for sexual assault, illegal possession of a gun, intimidation, first-degree wounding and other crimes, and was released on parole four months ago. But it was never reported to the parole officer.


    The detectives from the Trace Inspection Section scanned all the threatening letters, and found a large number of Darrell''s fingerprints in the text of one of the letters and other places, which can prove that the letter was written by him. "


    "Wow."


    Lacey on the co-pilot frowned:


    "This guy is really talented."


    Roan, who was driving, glanced at her. It seemed that her usual energy had returned after the blood was fine.


    After thinking about it, Roan asked:


    "Can you find out where this Darrell is now?"


    "certainly."


    Mona told Roan the other party''s address, Roan nodded, turned the steering wheel and drove the SUV in another direction.


    Darrell Roger is a middle-aged white man with a bald head and no beard. He works in Brooklyn, New York, and is a small food workshop.


    Darrell Roger and two men were unloading flour from a car when Roan and Lacy got here.


    Parked the SUV to the side of the road, Lacey walked in that direction and shouted:


    "Darrell Roger? We have something to ask you!"


    The next second, Lacey''s pupils shrank, because Darrell Roger looked up at himself and Roan, and without the slightest hesitation, he took out a pistol from his pocket.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 252： roux face

    Chapter 252 Flour Face


    Brooklyn, outside a small food workshop.


    "Fu-k!"


    Seeing the pistol in Darrell Roger''s hand, Lacey shrank her pupils and cursed, her body subconsciously dodged backwards, preparing to hide behind obstacles to avoid the opponent''s bullets.


    boom! boom!


    The next second, Lacey suddenly heard two gunshots.


    It''s just that these two voices came from behind her.


    "ah-"


    Immediately afterwards, a man screamed in front of Lacey.


    Lacey turned around and found that Darrell Roger had fallen off the car at this time, and blood continued to flow from his right hand, staining a large piece of flour that fell on the ground red.


    Lacey subconsciously turned her head to look at Roan.


    Sure enough, Roan was slowly putting away the Glock 18. Seeing Lacey looking at him, Roan slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at her.


    Roan had already pulled out his pistol when he got out of the car just now. The moment Darrell Roger took out the pistol and aimed it at himself and Lacey, he directly pulled the trigger.


    Thighs in front and back, body bent forward, the whole posture looks a bit indecent and awkward, Lacey''s mouth twitched.


    Not knowing why, Lacey felt that Roan did it on purpose.


    Passing past Lacey and patted her on the shoulder, Roan walked slowly to Darrell Roger, kicked the dropped pistol in front of Lacey, and said with a smile:


    "Congratulations, Darrell Roger, you are going to prison for further training again."


    "Bah!"


    Darrell Roger heard the words, his face without beard and hair suddenly showed a ferocious expression, and he spat thick phlegm at Roan fiercely.


    But Roan easily blocked it by pulling a broken flour bag.


    Not only that, Roan also threw the flour bag back in Darrell Roger''s face.


    "Ahhhh��"


    Darrell Roger, who was covered in thick phlegm and flour on his face, was even more angry, struggling frantically but there was nothing he could do, because Lacey had already pulled out the handcuffs and handcuffed his hands.


    Also, because she was worried that Darrell Roger would spit again, Lacey didn''t take the flour bag off his head, and just stuffed Darrell Roger into the SUV.


    So after the hospital dealt with the gunshot wound on Darrell Roger''s wrist, everyone in the Jacob Federal Building saw Lacey and Roan escorting a performance art guy back to the No. 5 investigation team.


    Darrell Roger: "��"


    In the interrogation room, Roan took off the flour sack on Darrell Roger''s head. The sudden light made Darrell Roger narrow his eyes. After seeing Roan and Lacey in front of him, he subconsciously wanted to continue. spit.


    Roan smiled when he saw the other party''s actions, and shook the flour bag in his hand:


    "Think clearly and spit!"


    Darrell Roger''s face froze when he saw this, do you want to swallow it?


    Darrell-Roger slowly calmed down, Lacey opened the folder in her hand, and began to count all the crimes of the other party over the years: sexual assault, illegal possession of guns, intimidation, first-degree wounding...


    "And now add arrests, and assaults on federal agents."


    Closing the folder, Lacey said with a blank expression:


    "Darrell, how''s life going these days? Still threatening to force women to sleep with you?"


    "No, since I have money, there are women**."


    Darrell-Roger smiled disdainfully, and then made a clean-up to Roan:


    "Dude, I''m afraid your partner needs a ***."


    As a talent who has lived in prison for a long time, Darrell''s mouth is full of dirty words and swear words. Roan didn''t bother to talk to him, and said directly:


    "You don''t like my partner with this type of woman? Because she threatens you, right? Like Flavia Farran?"


    "That''s a meddlesome watch!"


    Hearing the name of Flavia from Roan''s mouth, Darrell''s face was full of anger. He knocked on the table and said angrily:


    "She actually wanted to tell those girls about my HIV infection!


    It��s fine to tell them, but that cousin plans to tell the boss and colleagues at my workplace?


    Damn it, do you know how hard it is for me to find a job? "


    Roan nodded, and then Darrell said:


    "So you killed Flavia Faran to protect your job, right?"


    "I didn''t kill anyone! You **** FBI! ***"


    Darrell was very angry when he heard the words, and began to spit fragrance crazily.


    Roan leaned back and calmly hugged his shoulders:


    "If you didn''t kill someone, why did you draw your gun without hesitation when we were looking for you?"


    "..."


    Hearing this, Darrell Roger fell silent for an instant.


    "Are you still planning to hide it?"


    Lacey smiled disdainfully, and threw the folder in her hand on the interrogation table:


    "We''ve sent people to search your home and your warehouse, hopefully it''s cleaner than your mouth."


    "OK! OK!"


    Darrell was silent for a few seconds and raised his hands, saying that the reason why he shot just now was because he thought that the little leaves he was hiding in the basement had been discovered, and he did so because he was afraid that his brain would get hot.


    "But I really didn''t kill Flavia-Francia!"


    After listening to Darrell''s narration, Roan gave Lacey a look. Lacey nodded and left the interrogation room, took out her mobile phone and called Ryder who was going to search Darrell''s house, and asked him to focus on searching the basement.


    "I accept your explanation for now."


    After Lacey left the interrogation room, Roan chuckled, continued to look at Darrell Roger, and asked:


    "But you are still guilty of assaulting federal agents, so in order to mitigate your crime, do you have any clues about Flavia being killed last night?"


    Darrell Roger, who has been in and out of prison as usual, has been ill for a long time and has become a doctor. At this time, he already understands some federal laws and regulations, such as exchanging clues for commutation of sentence.


    Thinking for a moment, Darrell suddenly raised his head, and after receiving Roan''s affirmative answer, he said one thing:


    ��This morning, when I left home to go to work, I found someone following me with a laptop. I wanted to catch that guy and teach him a lesson, but the guy was riding a bicycle and I didn��t catch up.��


    Luo An heard the words and narrowed his eyes slightly:


    "What color is the notebook in that guy''s hand?"


    "I don''t know, I didn''t see clearly."


    Darrell Roger shrugged:


    "But the bike that guy is riding looks good, you can check the surveillance video of that area... if there are surveillance cameras."


    Leaving the interrogation room, as soon as Roan walked to his station, Lacey answered with her mobile phone, and smiled:


    "Ryder found a whole cabinet of plus-size bags in the basement of Darrell Roger''s house, and Darrell was clearly trying to cash in on them."


    "Unfortunately, Darrell can''t make it."


    Roan didn''t care about the big size, so he casually replied to Lacey, and then asked Mona and William to retrieve the surveillance records of the area that Darrell said.


    Watching this scene, Lacey put her hand on her chin and looked at Mona who was typing on the keyboard with doubts on her face, and asked:


    "Roan, if the guy who followed Darrell was the murderer of Flavia, why did he follow Darrell? Doesn''t it make sense?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 253： HIV positive zero

    Chapter 253 HIV carrier zero


    Roan was also a little confused about this question at first, but bringing in the scene of the previous blood test, Roan roughly guessed what the other party was thinking.


    Pulling Lacey aside, Roan asked in a low voice:


    "Lacey, if the blood test report at that time showed that you were positive, what would you have thought?"


    "If you mean the most extreme idea, it is of course killing the guy who infected me with HIV on the spot."


    Lacey frowned slightly upon hearing this:


    "You mean, the murderer suspected that Darrell Roger was the one who infected him with AIDS? Wanted to kill him?"


    "This is just one of the possibilities."


    Roan shook his head and analyzed:


    "It''s still the previous assumption, but this time you not only know who infected you with HIV, but also who infected the other person''s virus, so what will you do?"


    "Of course I will do something to that person, after all, the virus came from him!"


    Lacey replied subconsciously, but when she thought that the guy was still holding Flavia''s notebook, she suddenly realized, and clapped her hands:


    "You''re saying the killer is actually continuing what Flavia-Farlane left off, which is finding the original HIV positive and killing him?"


    "Exactly!"


    Roan nodded. According to colleague Lena''s explanation, Flavia-Fran was actually about to find out who the original infected person was. The specific situation and the method to find that person are in that notebook.


    So if the murderer really wants to find out the original infected person, he can do it with that notebook.


    At this moment, Mona''s voice suddenly sounded:


    "Everyone, I found the shadow of that guy!"


    Roan and Lacey hurried to Mona''s side, while a short surveillance video was playing on the computer.


    A guy on a bicycle is holding a notebook, opening it to write and draw from time to time, and sneaking behind Darrell Roger.


    But because of his poor skills, he was easily discovered by Darrell Roger, a talent who had studied in prison, so he hurriedly turned the direction of the bicycle head and left quickly.


    But the quality of the surveillance video is not very good, and the guy on the bike is wearing a hood and a mask, so Mona and the others couldn''t see each other''s faces clearly.


    But they were not in vain. When the other party rode away on a bicycle, he showed his white wrist, so the three of Roan accurately identified the other party as a federal white man.


    "And this guy should not be very old."


    Mona tapped the keyboard a few times to zoom in on the bicycle that the white man was riding in the video, and the screen showed that it was a very fancy bicycle.


    Lacey pouted when she saw this, and Roan asked:


    "Can you find out who bought this bike?"


    "There is no way to check."


    Mona shook her head. Because this type of bicycle is very popular with young people, it is everywhere in New York, and there are countless cases of reporting the loss of this type of bicycle to NYPD.


    Luo An''s face remained unchanged, and he did not feel any negative emotions due to Mona''s words. He clapped his hands vigorously, and after attracting the eyes of all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team, Luo An asked loudly:


    "William, you haven''t found the second deceased among the characters recorded by Flavia, have you?"


    "Exactly."


    William nodded, and then said that they found that the characters in the two folders were incomplete. Some people''s information should be in Flavia-Fran''s notebook, and Flavia hadn''t had time to sort it out.


    Roan felt that the doubts of William and the others were most likely correct, and then briefly talked about the analysis he and Lacey just had, and then said:


    "The murderer is now most likely looking for the original HIV infection zero, who is his next target.


    So, next, we need to find this infected person zero before the other party, and then find a way to catch the murderer of Flavia-Francia by waiting for a rabbit or other methods! "


    "no problem!"


    The eyes of all the detectives in the No. 5 investigation team lit up, and they promised loudly. After Luo An''s voice fell, William and other technical detectives immediately started to act.


    Putting everyone''s information in the folder together, Roan quickly discovered Flavia''s investigation method, which was to find out who everyone had **** with.


    After all, **** is one of the important means for the rapid spread of HIV.


    After starting the investigation through this method... everyone in the No. 5 investigation team felt what freedom is.


    One of them, a white woman named Yinka, had almost two football teams with men she had **** with in a short period of time.


    If it wasn''t for Flavia''s investigation and the data showing that her HIV was transmitted from someone else, Roan and the others would have thought that this woman was a carrier of HIV No. 0.


    Connect these people with arrows, and the No. 5 investigation team quickly found three people that the arrows did not point to, so the next goal naturally became to find other people who had **** with these three people.


    Because there were not many people, Roan and Mona were in a group, Lacey was in a group, and Ryder was in a group to find the three selected guys.


    Just returned to investigation team No. 5, Ryder, whose **** is still hot: "..."


    "So, this is actually an AIDS epidemic, right?"


    Arriving at the community where the first target person lived, Mona got off the co-pilot and glanced at Roan speechlessly.


    "You can say that."


    Roan nodded, the situation of this case has been sorted out, and the overall content is not complicated:


    A guy who was suffering from HIV at the beginning had no sense of public morality, not only did not go to treatment, concealed his illness, but also changed his partner frequently.


    After these surnamed couples are infected with AIDS, they have **** with other people, and then spread the virus to more people. Once it spreads to ten, ten directly spreads to hundreds.


    The murderer who killed Flavia-Francia was a poor member of the "hundred".


    Mona smashed her tongue, and then knocked on the door of the first originator.


    This source is a male student (adult) named Barry.


    "So, why didn''t you wear protection?"


    Roan was really puzzled. He remembered that many schools in the Federation distributed contraceptives to students for free.


    "Because I''m Catholic."


    Barry shrugged, young people always have their own unique reasons:


    "In addition, I also joined an environmental protection club in our school. One of the core ideas of this club is anti-rubber."


    Roan: "...Six."


    Because of the status of the FBI, Roan and Mona easily asked Barry about the person who infected him with HIV. Not surprisingly, it was a woman who lived nearby.


    This woman is named Wen Qian. She is very young and has a good figure and appearance, but she has a husband who likes to go out to play in the jungle. Therefore, under various dissatisfaction, Wen Qian also started her career in the field.


    Knowing the purpose of Roan and Mona''s visit, Vincy struggled a little at first, but finally said a man''s name: Matthew Ethan.


    Just after leaving Vincy''s house, Lacey and Ryder called Roan one after another, saying that they also found the name Matthew Ethan.


    "Good."


    Hanging up the phone, Roan turned to look at Mona:


    "It seems that this is Mr. Zero who has no public morals.


    How about, can you find out where this guy is now? "


    "Easy."


    Backing to the co-pilot of the SUV, Mona turned on the computer and tapped, and quickly found the location of the other party:


    "St. John''s Hospital, Queens!"


    Roan frowned slightly when he heard this:


    "Hospital?"

 Chapter 254： Patient Zero and the Murderer

    Chapter 254 Patient Zero and the Real Murderer


    Because he had been busy all day and it was time to get off work, Roan and Lacey walked into St. John''s Hospital in Queens together the next morning.


    In a certain ward, the two managed to see a middle-aged Caucasian man who was lying on a hospital bed covered with a quilt, with a tube inserted in front of his nose. Although he looked a little decadent, his appearance was quite in line with Western aesthetics.


    Matthew Ethan was flirting with a female nurse when Roann and Lacy came in.


    Take out the golden badge of the FBI and drive the female nurse out of the room, who was blinded by the male sex. Lacey''s face is full of disdain:


    "Good morning, Matthew Ethan, you are really popular with women."


    "Is it my fault that Zhang Cheng looks like a heartthrob?"


    Matthew Ethan chuckled indifferently, looked carefully at Lacey and Roan for a few seconds, and then his eyes lit up.


    Roan frowned slightly. According to the data, Matthew Ethan does not distinguish between men and women. He only distinguishes whether the other party is beautiful or ugly.


    Too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, Roan took out a pair of handcuffs from behind, and directly handcuffed Matthew Ethan''s right hand to the hospital bed:


    "Congratulations, Matthew Ethan, you''ve been arrested.


    The charge is that you knew that you had AIDS, but you did not tell your partner about it, and you had incomplete **** with her/them. "


    "What?"


    Seeing his hands being handcuffed by Roan, Matthew Ethan, who was lying on the hospital bed, was surprised, and then shouted loudly:


    "Why do you say I know I have AIDS? I don''t know about it! I''m innocent! I''m a victim!"


    "Don''t tell such lies that can be broken at once. We have found your credit card records a long time ago, which shows that you went to the hospital for an AIDS test at that time."


    Lacey, who was standing next to her, laughed when she heard the words. Roan also pulled out Matthew Ethan''s medical records from the pocket in front of Matthew Ethan''s bed, and said softly:


    "In addition, your medical records show that you were hospitalized this time because of Pneumocystis infection, which is a common pneumonia in AIDS patients.


    How about it, you feel very uncomfortable right now. "


    "��Fu-k, is your FBI so free now?"


    After listening to Roan''s words, Matthew Ethan looked very irritable:


    "I don''t care. Anyway, you can''t tell more people about this. Federal law stipulates that this is my right to privacy."


    "It depends on your performance. According to federal law, federal citizens are obliged to answer questions from federal agents."


    Roan frowned slightly, and turned to look at Lacey. Seeing this, Lacey immediately took out a small notebook from behind and asked:


    "Matthew Ethan, have you encountered any special circumstances in the past two days?"


    "I''m a person who has fun outside every night, and I''ve been lying in the hospital for the past two days. Is this considered a special situation?"


    Matthew Ethan yelled at Lacey very unhappy, then turned to look at Roan:


    "What the **** are you doing?"


    Roan did not explain the matter of Dr. Flavia Fran with Matthew Ethan, but simply stated:


    "According to the exact information we got, no one was infected with AIDS because you spread the seeds everywhere.


    One of the guys who is infected with AIDS has come to you with a knife for revenge. "


    "Sonof than eat!"


    Matthew Ethan''s face changed suddenly. Although he would die from AIDS, at least he could live for a while longer. He refused to be directly hacked to death with a knife.


    Brain turned quickly, Matthew Ethan seriously recalled the situation of the past two days, suddenly found something, raised his head and said eagerly:


    "Last night, I left the ward to go out for a few minutes, and then returned to this ward with two nurses.


    When the three of us walked to the door of the ward, we found a man standing in front of my hospital bed looking at my medical records.???? We asked who he was, and the guy said he was in the wrong room, and before we could talk, he walked away. "


    We asked who he was, and the guy said he was in the wrong room, and before we could talk, he walked away. "


    Speaking of this, Matthew Ethan was afraid for a while, because now he carefully recalled the scene at that time, only to find that the man seemed to have something in his pocket, which looked like a dagger in shape.


    Not only that, but the way that person looked at him when he was talking was not quite right.


    and Roan exchanged glances, Lacey immediately raised the notebook in her hand:


    "Tell me what that guy looks like."


    "Caucasian, skinny, young looking, twenties..."


    Matthew Ethan hurriedly described the person''s appearance, and finally said eagerly:


    "Mr. Detective! Ms. Detective! You must send someone to protect me later! I feel that the hospital is not very safe!"


    Matthew Ethan described the image of that person, which is almost the same as the appearance of the cyclist in yesterday''s surveillance.


    "Relax, Matthew Ethan, if you think the hospital is not safe, then we can change you to a safer place, such as a prison, it must be safe there!"


    and Lacey looked at each other, Roan chuckled, he was too lazy to deal with such a selfish and ungrateful guy, ignored the other party''s wailing, got up and left the ward directly.


    But that being said, after Roan and Lacey left, the two SWAT team members who notified in advance still sat at the door of this ward.


    St. John''s Hospital has relatively complete surveillance facilities, and many surveillance cameras are installed in the corridors.


    Take out the FBI golden badge to show his identity, Roan asked the person in charge of the monitoring room of the hospital to transfer to the monitoring last night, and soon found the white youth.


    The other party was wearing a hat, and kept lowering the brim of the hat all the way, but when going downstairs at the corner of the stairs, in order to avoid the two oncoming patients, the surveillance camera snapped at the other party''s face.


    "Good."


    After briefly expressing his gratitude to the person in charge of monitoring, Luo An took the monitoring records back to the No. 5 investigation team and asked:


    "How about it, can you find this guy through the face recognition system?"


    William and other technical agents took a screenshot of the video recording, and after tapping their fingers on the keyboard for a while, their faces were full of embarrassment:


    "Sorry, this guy can''t be found in the face recognition system."


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged. In the records of the federal 05��s face recognition system, all the guys who made mistakes were recorded. The white man in the picture is very young, and it is possible that he has no criminal record.


    Turning his head to look at Mona, Roan continued to ask:


    "What about the AIDS-infected people in the folder? Is there anyone with the same face as this guy?"


    "nor."


    There was a crackling sound, Mona looked at the information in the computer and frowned slightly:


    "Not only are there no people infected with AIDS in these two documents, but the white youth is also absent among those people infected with AIDS that we checked later."


    "What?"


    Ryder was puzzled when he heard the words:


    "Could it be that the direction of our investigation is wrong? For example, this guy didn''t kill Flavia because of AIDS."


    Lacey scratched her head:


    "But he still went to Matthew Ethan, how to explain that?"


    Roan picked up the folder containing the personal information of the AIDS patient, sat on the chair and read it carefully. After a long silence, he suddenly threw it on the table and said loudly:


    "Everyone, start now and investigate the family members and friends of these AIDS patients!


    This white youth killed Dr. Flavia, and went to the hospital to find and prepare to kill Matthew Ethan, probably not for himself! "


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 255： The Truth about AIDS and the Identity of Little Boys

    Chapter 255 The truth about AIDS and the identity of a little boy


    After Luo An''s voice fell, the agents of the No. 5 investigation team suddenly realized, and immediately began to get busy in front of the computer.


    With the right direction of investigation, William, Mona and the others needless to say about their strength. They found the identity information of this white youth within a cup of coffee.


    "This guy''s name is Elud Brook. He is 24 years old. He lives in Queens, New York. He has never gone to college and has no criminal record."


    William looked at the information in the computer and introduced loudly:


    "There is a woman infected with AIDS in the folder. It is Elud Brook''s mother, who is in her forties this year.


    But Elud''s mother was not infected with AIDS by Elud''s father, so some time ago, after Flavia told Elud''s father the news that his mother was infected with AIDS due to going out to play, the family has now fallen apart. . "


    Ryder, Lacey and others sighed together when they heard the words, Roan also nodded, and just about to speak, Mona on the side suddenly said:


    "I also found out one thing, that is, a girl infected with AIDS in the second folder is a high school classmate of Elud''s, neither of them went to college, and they both work in a chain supermarket. couple relationship.


    This girl was also infected with AIDS after Elud''s mother, but the channel through which she contracted AIDS... was not Elud. "


    ������xN


    The atmosphere in the No. 5 investigation team became quiet for a while.


    I learned one after another that my mother betrayed my father and was infected with AIDS, and my girlfriend betrayed me and I was infected with AIDS, and it was the same woman who told me the two news...


    Roan took a sip of his coffee, not knowing how to evaluate the behavior of the instigator, Flavia-Farlan.


    But now is not the time to discuss Elud Brook''s inner journey. After drinking the coffee in one gulp, Roan clapped his hands to attract everyone''s attention, and said:


    "Can you find out where Elud Brook is now?"


    "Of course, it''s easy."


    Mona tapped on the keyboard, and soon found the other party:


    "Ellud Brook went to the house of his HIV-infected girlfriend once this morning, and then rode straight to St. John''s Hospital in Queens."


    "OK!"


    Roan heard the words, just got up to speak, Augustus suddenly pushed open the door of the No. 5 investigation team office area and walked in, smiling loudly:


    "Everyone, good news, the trace inspection department has just found out the identity of the little boy!"


    ������xN


    The expressions of the agents of the No. 5 investigation team froze slightly, and then they all turned their gazes to Luo An.


    Roan was also a little helpless, but he reacted immediately and continued to narrate the unfinished order just now:


    "Ryder, Lacey, you two immediately lead a team of SWAT to arrest Elud Brook!"


    "no problem!"


    Ryder and Lacey Qiqi nodded, and then walked quickly into the equipment warehouse.


    "Mona, you and I go to the trace inspection department."


    "OK."


    Mona picked up a laptop and stood up. Augustus saw that there was something wrong with the expressions on everyone''s faces just now, so he asked what was going on.


    After learning what happened to Elud Brook from William, the expression on Augustus'' face...


    Nothing has changed.


    After all, he has been in the Criminal Justice Department for so many years, and Augustus has encountered many times worse and outrageous situations than this, and the threshold of emotional fluctuations has already been raised a lot.


    ����


    In a room in the office area of ??the Trace Inspection Section.


    "Thank you, everyone."


    Pushing open the door and entering the room, Roan immediately expressed his gratitude to the investigators of the trace inspection department with a smile on his face.


    After a brief chat between the two parties, Roan changed the topic to the business, and Mona next to him also asked:


    "Nell, how did you find out the identity of this little boy? Fingerprints on the clothes?"


    As mentioned earlier, the little boy was too young to do face recognition, and all ten fingers were amputated in advance, and the fingerprints could not be tested.


    So the forensic doctor at the time said that he hoped to find fingerprints on the box containing the corpse, so as to find the identity of the little boy.


    "Fingerprints? Of course not!" ????Hearing Mona''s question, the chubby Agent Nell shook his head again and again:


    Hearing Mona''s question, the chubby Agent Neil shook his head again and again:


    "We didn''t find any fingerprints on that box, the killer was definitely a very cautious guy."


    "Then how did you do it?"


    Roan picked up a cup of coffee from the side and handed it to Agent Nell, smiling:


    "Don''t be a fool."


    "Hehe, it''s very simple."


    Agent Nell frowned, opened the small refrigerator beside him, and took out a tightly sealed glass bottle from it.


    And in the glass bottle are two truncated little feet.


    Mona was dumbfounded when she saw the contents of the glass bottle clearly, and Roan was also a little speechless to the group of technical guys in the trace inspection department:


    "If I''m not mistaken, these are the two feet of the little boy?"


    "Exactly!"


    Agent Neil explained with a smile:


    "As you know, the little boy''s body has been somewhat mummified, and his feet are a bit shriveled.


    So I separated his feet from the joints, soaked them in antiseptic solution, and after the muscle fibers swelled up, I could naturally extract the lines of his feet. "


    After listening to Agent Nell��s description, the corners of Mona��s mouth twitched slightly, and seeing Agent Nell��s expression of pride and complacency when he spoke...


    Mona took a step back silently, and decided to minimize contact with this group of people in the trace inspection department in the future.


    In Luo An��s view, it��s true that the trace inspection department is lacking in technical aspects alone, but��


    Luo An sighed, and he could only hope that the little boy''s family members would not make trouble after seeing their child''s fingers and feet cut off.


    "OK."


    Waving his hand and rejecting Nell''s offer to hand over the glass bottle for him to enjoy, Roan asked directly:


    "So, who is this little boy?"


    "His name is Ansel Ward, he is 7 years old."


    Agent Nell put the glass bottle back into the refrigerator, walked to the side computer and tapped a few times, then pointed to the interface inside and said:


    "Ansel''s grandma recorded his fingerprints and foot prints in the hospital during Ansel''s safety week."


    "Good."


    Roan glanced at the information in the computer, then turned and left to give Mona the seat.


    Mona entered little Ansel''s information into the notebook on her chest, and after some simple typing, she quickly found her grandmother''s home address: a community in Queens, New York.


    Half an hour later, Roan and Mona managed to meet an elderly Caucasian woman who was physically uncomfortable.


    "Oh, God."


    My grandma��s name is Lan Ruisa, she believed in God, and when she heard the news of little Ansel��s death from Roan and Mona, her eyes were filled with sadness, and she held the cross on her neck tightly with both hands.


    "Please mourn."


    Seeing that Lan Ruisha was in a bad state of mind, Mona hurriedly moved to her side to comfort her, and Roan also poured her a glass of water.


    After soothing Lan Ruisha''s emotions, Roan began to briefly ask about Ansel''s situation.


    "It shouldn''t belong to little Ansel."


    Lan Ruisha sat on the sofa with a complicated expression on her face:


    "It should be Polly who died!"


    Mona was a little puzzled:


    "Who is this Polly?"


    Lan Ruisha said coldly:


    "Polly is my daughter!"


    Roan, who was sitting by the side, didn''t understand what a daughter had done that would make his mother so angry. Just as he was about to ask, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 256： rancid smell urine smell salty fish smell

    Chapter 256 Smell of rancid urine and stinky salty fish


    A community in Queens, New York.


    The phone rang, and Roan immediately got up and walked to the side of the room.


    "This is Roan."


    "It''s me, Ryder."


    The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit noisy, but Ryder''s words were still very clear:


    "The mission was successfully completed, we have captured Elud Brook, and there were no casualties."


    This operation was just to arrest an ordinary young man who had no systematic training. For Ryder, Lacey and the group of SWAT players, it couldn''t be easier.


    "Good."


    Roan nodded, but when he heard that Ryder''s tone seemed a little wrong, he immediately asked:


    "Is something wrong?"


    "Well, there is indeed a problem, but it''s not Erud Brook''s."


    Before Ryder finished speaking, the phone was snatched by Lacey. Lacey''s voice was a little soft, but her tone was gloating:


    "Roan, we just arrested Elud Brook at the gate of St. John''s Hospital.


    After our operation was over, the doctors who took care of Patient Zero Matthew Ethan told us that they had just detected early signs of Kaposi''s sarcoma and two other tumors in Matthew Ethan''s body. "


    "Forehead��"


    Roan frowned slightly when he heard this. Kaposi sarcoma is a common complication of AIDS patients. In most cases, people suffering from this kind of thing basically have 1-3 years of life left.


    Plus there are traces of other tumors in the body... Matthew Ethan doesn''t have much savings at this time, and his remaining time is obviously just around the corner.


    But for Matthew Ethan, a selfish, selfish guy who harmed a group of people by himself, Roan had no sympathy, so his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly:


    "Lacey, it''s enough to be happy for a while. Let''s bring Elud Brook back first."


    "OK."


    Lacey smiled, nodded in agreement and hung up the phone.


    Roan put the phone back in his pocket and sat back on the sofa. Grandma Lan Ruisa was introducing her daughter Polly to Mona.


    "I really regret giving birth to her!"


    Judging from the appearance and conversation between words, Lan Ruisha is a very well-mannered old woman.


    But when it comes to her daughter Polly, Lan Ruisha''s face is full of anger:


    "From childhood, Polly has always been a naughty child, but her father and I didn''t care. After all, we are children, and being lively is not a problem.


    But when she got older, Polly got worse. She not only skipped classes and dropped out of school, but also hung out with a group of cronies, and even got into reading later! "


    Mona and Roan frowned slightly when they heard the words. Once they get infected, nothing good will happen most of the time.


    Sure enough, Ranrisa continued:


    "Then one day, Polly suddenly came back with a big belly, and she didn''t say who the father of the child was.


    There is no way, her father and I can only help her bear the cost of having a child, and name the child Ansel Ward..."


    "OK."


    Mona briefly recorded the information in a small notebook, and then asked:


    "So, have you been taking care of little Ansel all this time?"


    "We care?"


    Lan Ruisha sneered when she heard the words:


    ��Sometimes Polly would ask me to babysit little Ansel for one night, and then she would disappear for months.


    Then she went home consciously, saying that she had quit drugs, and hoped that I would return little Ansel to her..."


    Lan Ruisa said that she didn''t want to hand little Ansel to Polly, but she was getting old and her husband died during this period, so she didn''t have enough energy, so she had to choose to trust Polly once, after all, she was little Ansel''s mother.


    But judging from the current situation, Polly is the same as before, still untrustworthy.


    Mona continued to ask while writing:


    "When was the last time you saw little Ansel?"


    "Six or seven months ago."


    "What about Polly?"


    "Same, I haven''t seen her since then." ????Mona frowned slightly when she heard this, while Roan, who was sitting by the side, straightened up and asked:


    "Ms. Ranrisa, do you have a picture of Polly here?"


    ����


    The darkness was due to the SUV driving slowly on the road, not because Roan didn''t want to step on the accelerator, but because Mona in the co-pilot was searching for that Polly through her laptop.


    In the photo Lan Ruisa gave to Roan and Mona, Polly is a white girl with short blonde hair, a delicate face, and a passionate appearance.


    Roan briefly glanced at the photo, then threw it aside:


    "Unfortunately, I got infected with the reading material."


    "Polly probably wouldn''t have been a good mother if she hadn''t gotten into the reading material."


    Mona on the co-pilot said casually while typing on the keyboard:


    ��I have a high school classmate, she is very similar to Polly, she also chose to drop out of school and hang out with a group of guys who don��t know where they came from early on.


    We chatted some time ago. Although she didn��t get infected with reading materials, her husband was missing, and she beat and scolded her children. Her whole life was a mess. "


    Roan was a little confused:


    "Which high school classmate of yours? When did you contact me?"


    "It was some time ago, when I first moved into your apartment."


    Mona replied casually:


    ��She was desperate for money, so she contacted me.��


    Roan frowned slightly:


    "Did you lend it to her?"


    "of course not!"


    Mona curled her lips. She and that female classmate had only talked in high school and were not familiar with each other, but now she actually started to ask her to borrow money.


    Mona judged that there was a high probability that she had already borrowed money from people she was familiar with, but she hadn''t paid it back. As a result, no one was willing to continue to lend her money, so she started contacting people she didn''t know very well like Mona.


    Roan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and at this moment, Mona tapped the keyboard and said with a smile:


    "OK! I found this Polly!"


    "Great, thanks for your hard work!"


    Roan held the steering wheel tightly with both hands:


    "Where is that woman now?"


    "Records indicate she was in a women''s shelter in Brooklyn at 114A Abbey Street."


    ����


    Half an hour later, inside the shelter.


    Showed the golden badge of the FBI to the person in charge of the shelter, Roan took out Polly''s fraudulent photo, and the other party nodded:


    "Yes, Dina is indeed in this shelter."


    Mona frowned:


    "Dina?"


    Roan didn''t care about it, it''s just a fake name, it''s normal, so he asked directly:


    "Where is she now?"


    "She''s in there."


    The person in charge pointed to the densely packed beds in the shelter and shrugged:


    "Go find it yourself, I don''t know exactly where it is."


    "OK."


    Note here is a women''s shelter, so most of the women inside are dressed casually.


    Seeing a handsome man like Roan come in, some young women hurriedly pulled up their clothes to cover their vitals, and more older women not only didn''t care, but whistled at Roan.


    Roan, whose appetite has been spoiled by Mona, doesn''t bother to talk to these women, not to mention the mixed smell of rotten urine, stinky salted fish, etc. in the asylum.


    Especially the smell of salted fish, even though Luo Anxin was determined, he still felt a little nauseated.


    Hold your breath and search one by one. Roan just searched halfway on the left side of the shelter when Mona''s shout suddenly sounded from the right side of the shelter:


    "Stop! Don''t run!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 257： poisonous insect

    Chapter 257 Poisonous insects


    Hearing Mona''s yell, Roan hurriedly turned around and found a **** woman jumping between the big beds in the room, aiming for the exit of the shelter.


    The woman''s hair was not blond but brown, but her face was 80% similar to Polly in the photo. Roan immediately decided that she was the person he and Mona were looking for.


    "Fu-k!"


    Mona followed closely behind the woman, her face was not usually ugly.


    But the reason for Mona''s ugly face was not because the other party ran away, but when the other party ran away just now, she subconsciously yelled, and then was rushed by the strange smell in the shelter.


    The moment Roan saw the opponent''s face clearly, without hesitation, he jumped from between the beds and rushed towards Polly like the wind.


    Luo An''s actions startled many women lying on the bed and jumped. Some women turned pale with panic and cursed, but many women watching the show applauded for Luo An instead:


    "Cool!"


    "So handsome!"


    Ignoring the group of women watching the show, Roan moved to the door of the shelter in the blink of an eye, blocked Polly''s way forward, and said seriously:


    "Stop!"


    Polly didn''t intend to stop, she grabbed a piece of clothing from the bed of a passer-by woman who was watching the show, and threw it at Roan, while turning around and starting to run to the other side.


    But in the next second, Roan casually patted the dress aside, quickly moved to Polly''s side, and tightly grasped her two hands:


    "do not move!"


    Mona also ran over at this time, and immediately took out the handcuffs and handcuffed her wrists.


    "Damn! Why did you arrest me?"


    I felt that Polly was struggling crazily with her hands handcuffed, but years of drug use made her very weak. She ran for a while just now.


    Adding that Polly was not wearing any clothes on her upper body, the corner of Roan''s mouth twitched, and he hurriedly took a piece of clothing to cover her body.


    Giving Roan a blank look, Mona took the clothes and forcibly put them on Polly''s body, then took her out of the large bed room of the shelter, and temporarily borrowed the administrator''s office.


    "Why on earth are you arresting me? I didn''t do anything!"


    Polly was still very angry, Roan knocked Erlang''s legs:


    "Then why did you run?"


    Polly rolled her eyes:


    "You didn''t say you were the FBI when you came in. I thought you were the group of poor ghosts who asked me for money."


    In order to make a living, Polly also has some side jobs, such as temporarily acting as a thief and robbing Fu Ji herself.


    "OK."


    Roan did not continue to talk nonsense with Polly on this issue, he directly turned the topic to the point:


    "Polly, we are here today for your son, Ansel Ward.


    Unfortunately, he was killed. "


    "oh."


    Roan''s voice fell, Polly''s face remained unchanged, and she said softly:


    "It''s also a good thing for him."


    "What? What did you say?"


    Seeing that Polly didn''t care about it, and even yawned, Roan frowned slightly, and Mona stood up and widened her eyes:


    "You have this attitude towards your son? That''s your own son!"


    "so what?"


    Polly is still indifferent:


    "When you die, you die."


    "Fu-k!"


    Hearing this, Mona was completely angry, and Roan didn''t bother to continue talking nonsense with Polly here, and directly pulled her up from the chair forcibly:


    "Come with us!"


    ����


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    "Ellud Brook has pleaded guilty." ???? Lacey and Ryder walked out of an interrogation room, handed a folder to Roan, and said:


    " After a very relaxed interrogation, after learning that Matthew Ethan, the zero-infected person, did not have much time to live, Elud Brook admitted everything.


    Not only did he explain the whole process of killing Dr. Flavia-Farlan, but he also explained where the murder weapon, notebook and the red bag were hidden at this time. "


    Roan took the folder and looked down. Mona, who was sitting next to him, asked casually:


    "What is the reason for the crime?"


    "Of course it is because of anger, the reason is the same as the previous guess."


    Ryder picked up the coffee on the table and drank it down, saying:


    "In a few days, Elud Brook first learned from Flavia that his mother was infected with AIDS, and then learned that his girlfriend had betrayed him and was infected with AIDS. Out of anger, he killed Flavia. -Fran, the person who told him the news, is an evasive mentality."


    "What about the guy who got his girlfriend infected with AIDS?"


    Mona was a little puzzled. Elud Brook didn''t kill his girlfriend, but he could understand that he loved his girlfriend very much, even if she betrayed him, he couldn''t bear to kill her.


    But what about the guy who gave her girlfriend HIV? Although Mona is not a man, she can understand what is going on with a man''s anger.


    "Because that man is Elud Brook''s good brother since he was a child, and that guy saved Elud Brook''s life once when he was young, so..."


    Roan read the interrogation record, closed the folder, and answered Mona''s question.


    At the same time, it has deepened the understanding of the concept of fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-good brothers.


    "All right."


    Mona felt a little emotional after hearing the details of this incident. Lacey next to her stretched her waist, and then pointed to another interrogation room:


    "What''s the situation with that woman? Why didn''t you interrogate her after you brought her back?"


    "That woman is a whore!"


    Mona, who had been dependent on her mother since she was a child, was very dissatisfied with Polly. For the first time, she used dirty words to describe Polly in front of several people.


    But after hearing what Mona said about Polly''s attitude towards her son, Ryder and Lacey''s expressions were not very good.


    The Commonwealth is a country that attaches great importance to family culture. People like Polly are not used to them.


    But hearing that on the way back to the Federal Building, Mona found two more small bags of flour in Polly''s pocket, Lacey rolled her eyes and understood Roan''s thoughts:


    "Roann, you''re going to hang Polly out and interrogate her when she''s addicted to drugs, aren''t you?"


    "Exactly."


    Roan chuckled, and now everyone can see that Polly is a poisonous woman.


    You can''t believe things like poisonous insects.


    But on the contrary, when drug addiction strikes, they can also agree to any request of others for that morsel of flour, even if it means asking him to cut off his own thigh, or even kill his whole family.


    So Luo Anbian planned to interrogate Polly when her drug addiction broke out. At that time, she would take the initiative to confess everything without any psychological tactics.


    Sure enough, more than an hour later, when Roan and Lacey entered the interrogation room, Polly, whose hands were handcuffed to the chair, was fidgeting, runny nose, sneezing and sweating.


    "Good afternoon, Ms. Polly, you don''t seem to be doing well."


    Roan handed Polly a glass of juice:


    "Drink some of this to moisten your throat."


    "When will you let me go?"


    After taking the juice and gulping it down, Polly trembled all over and turned pale:


    "Is it enough to find the murderer who killed my son? I sold my son to him for 800 dollars, and I know who he is! You go and call the sketcher now, and I can provide you with his sample." appearance!


    Damn it...can I just go after that? By the way, I''ve already told everything I know, can you give me back a little less flour, just a little bit, please..."


    It was exactly the same as Roan''s idea. They didn''t interrogate at all, and Polly confessed everything on her own initiative.


    It''s just that the content of the explanation made Lacey in the interrogation room, as well as Mona and Ryder in the monitoring room all gloomy.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 258： cage-like villa

    Chapter 258 The cage-like villa


    Investigation Team No. 5, office area.


    According to Polly''s description, after the portrait artist drew the appearance of the guy who bought the child with money, Roan and Lacey did not give Polly flour, but let the detectives of the trace inspection department use some methods to force her to survive. The period of drug addiction


    Backing to their respective workstations, several technical detectives including William began to look up the identity of that person based on the portrait. Mona looked at the interrogation record with an ugly face:


    "So this woman, Polly, sold her son just because she needed money to buy flour?"


    "Exactly."


    Roan took a sip of coffee with a blank face, and Lacey added from the side:


    "Polly has a history of sucking flour for more than 20 years. In the eyes of this kind of person, as long as they can get flour, there is nothing that cannot be traded."


    At the very beginning, Polly used her money to buy flour.


    But as the time spent sucking flour became longer and longer, some ulcers began to appear on Polly''s body, and some disgusting problems began to appear underneath, so Polly''s price became lower and lower until finally no one cared.


    After this road was completely blocked, Polly began to shift to the road of petty theft and robbery.


    "Sonof than eat."


    Mona cursed in a low voice, put the interrogation record back on the table, and Roan turned to look at William:


    "How is it? Is the identity of the guy in the face portrait in the database?"


    "Of course! And it''s very detailed!"


    William chuckled, pointed to the information he just found in the computer and introduced:


    "Criminal records show that this guy is Fecundo Hunter, 37 years old this year, and has been in and out of federal prisons many times for illegal possession of guns, intentional wounding, drunk driving and other crimes.


    Information in the database shows that he currently lives in a mid-range community on Long Island.


    In addition, the records of the ATF (Federal Administration of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) show that Fecundo-Hunter is suspected to have purchased a large number of weapons in the underground world, and these items are likely to be stored in the community where he lives at this time inside. "


    "In our free Commonwealth, traffickers need guns to keep themselves safe."


    Roan raised his head and drank the coffee, got up and looked at Ryder:


    "Let''s go, let''s discuss the consequences of human trafficking with this trafficker."


    "OK!"


    Ryder grinned, got up and walked into the equipment room with Roan.


    ����


    Two hours later, a mid-range community on Long Island.


    Ryder, who is heavily armed, is standing next to the black SUV, and Roan, who is also heavily armed, is lowering his head and fiddling with the shock bomb in his hand.


    It��s been a long time since I��ve used it, so I don��t know if it��s unfamiliar.


    Beside the two of them, there are two teams of heavily armed SWAT team members holding explosion-proof shields. Two of the team members are investigating the specific situation of the three-story villa where Fecundo Hunter is located.


    "Sir, there are people in the target villa. The front and rear doors are made of steel + wood, and the steel is extremely thick."


    Not long after, the communicator on Roan''s chest rang, and there were the two SWAT members investigating the situation:


    "Suggest using a lot of plastic bombs."


    "OK, thank you for your hard work."


    Roan nodded, turned to look at Ryder, Ryder immediately led a team of SWAT players to the back door, Roan and another team of SWAT players slowly moved to the front door.


    The team member holding the explosion-proof shield stood at the front. After reaching the side of the door of the villa, the SWAT team behind him immediately walked out of the team, took out a large yellow plastic bomb and stuck it on the door.


    "Three, two, one!"


    Counting down to three, the two SWAT players at the front and rear doors pressed the start button at the same time.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    A deafening explosion sounded suddenly, and the steel plate + wood room book was instantly blasted into the villa by the flames.


    "FBI!!"


    "Go! Go! Go!" ???? "Speed! Speed!"


    "Upstairs! Upstairs!"


    "Double check the basement!"


    The second after the explosion ended, two teams of SWAT members filed in in an instant, holding rifles in both hands and quickly inspecting every room in the villa.


    Roan was not in a hurry to go upstairs. He walked to the gate of the villa that was blown up and looked at it, and found that the gate was not only composed of steel plate + solid wood, but also equipped with foam board and rubber inside, and the sound insulation measures were in place.


    At the same time, a magnetic lock is added to the top of the gate. The owner of the villa pays great attention to safety, for fear that the gate will be pried open.


    But the FBI never pry open the door, they either kick it directly or blow it up directly.


    boom! boom!


    The sudden intrusion of the SWAT team obviously startled the two guards in the villa. They raised their weapons and wanted to fight back, but they were shot in the head by the SWAT team.


    Fecundo Hunter was also taken aback. He was watching TV when the explosion sounded.


    Hearing the visitor yell FBI, Fecundo-Hunter''s face changed suddenly. He grabbed the pistol beside him and fired two shots at the SWAT team.


    At this moment, Luo An happened to be walking up to the second floor, and he found that the floor and walls of this villa had been heightened and thickened, and sound insulation measures had obviously been taken.


    When he walked to the balcony, Roan found that the glass here was also a special thickened type, which was firmly locked and could only be opened with a key.


    "A special cage...maybe there are other uses."


    Roan smashed his tongue, and when he turned around, he saw Fecundo Hunter rushing towards him with a pistol and red eyes.


    "Shit!"


    Seeing obstacles on his way forward, Fecundo Hunter raised his pistol and was about to pull the trigger without hesitation.


    But Roan was faster than him. When he saw Fecundo Hunter for the first time, Roan threw the shock bomb he had held for a long time at him.


    Boom!


    With a violent explosion and a blinding white light, Fecundo Hunter instantly felt his eyes turn white and his ears hurt, and he lost his balance and fell in front of Roan.


    Kicking Fecundo Hunter''s dropped pistol to the distance, Roan waved to the SWAT team members who were standing behind them holding rifles and looking at each other, with a very calm expression from Feicundo -Hunter stepped over and said:


    "Take this guy away in handcuffs, remember to put the pistol in the evidence bag."


    "OK!"


    Several SWAT team members nodded and hurriedly turned sideways to make way for Roan. At the same time, Ryder''s voice came from the third floor of the villa:


    "Roan! Here''s a discovery!"


    The layout of the third floor of the villa is very simple, just a few separated rooms, and the doors are all equipped with magnetic locks.


    Roan walked up the stairs to the third floor, and Ryder pointed to four of the rooms. In each room there was a shivering little boy, who was no more than 10 years old by visual inspection.


    Luo An looked carefully for a week, and found that there was not even a landline in the entire villa:


    "It really is a cage."


    Ryder put away the rifle in his hand, sighed, tilted his head and said:


    ��Before this operation, I thought it was a transit point for a human trafficking organization.


    But now it seems that this is not the case. "


    Ryder had cracked similar cases when he was in SWAT before, but the conditions that those traffickers prepared for their "goods" were not so good.


    "This villa obviously has other uses."


    Turn around and ask the SWAT team to take the children back to the federal building, then Roan called the trace inspection department and asked them to check the villa carefully, and finally said:


    "Go back and ask this Fecundo Hunter, he should tell us a lot."

 Chapter 259： "Federal Youth Hobby Association"

    Chapter 259 "Federal Youth Hobby Association"


    Investigation Team No. 5, lounge.


    The four little boys who were rescued from the villa were sitting here. Two women, Mona and Lacey, were distributing snacks and juices to them while comforting them in a low voice.


    Augus, who was holding the document, stood at the door of the lounge and glanced inside, frowning slightly, turned to William and asked:


    "How about it, have you found out the identity information of these four children and who their parents are?"


    "Sorry, I only found identities for two of the kids."


    William spread his hands, saying that it was useless to find them. The two children had no parents, and they were one of the missing children reported by the New York Children''s Welfare Agency.


    As for the other two children, William and other technical agents directly stated that they could not find the identities of these two children.


    "It''s because they''re not federal."


    At this moment, Lacey pushed open the door of the lounge and walked out, explaining:


    "Mona and I just asked. The remaining two children don''t know who their parents are, but they both come from a children''s welfare institution in El Salvador."


    "South America..."


    Augus sighed when he heard the words, handed the document in his hand to Lacey, and said:


    "This is the physical examination report of the four children just now conducted by the trace inspection department. They all have a lot of bruises on their bodies, and they also left permanent damage behind them."


    Lacey glanced at the contents of the report, her brows tightened:


    "So, we''ve actually met a connectivity freak group this time?


    How many perverts raped these children in New York? "


    "Those people are probably not a small number."


    At this moment, Roan and Ryder, who had a gloomy face, came over.


    Seeing the doubts on the faces of Lacey and Augustus, Roan took out a few video tapes from behind his buttocks:


    "This is what the trace inspection department found in the basement of that villa. The contents inside...well, it hurts my eyes."


    After hearing Roan''s words and seeing the expression on Ryder''s face, both Augustus and Lacey guessed what was in the video tape.


    Augus took the video tape and shook it, then asked:


    "Aside from these children, are there any other male faces?"


    "No."


    Roan didn''t speak, and Ryder on the side was dignified:


    ��I forced myself to watch the entire tape, but there were no faces of men, only tattoos on some of the men.��


    "Better than nothing."


    Augus nodded and patted Ryder on the shoulder. Ryder''s children were about the same age as these children, and watching these things was really torture for Ryder.


    "It doesn''t matter."


    Ryder shook his head and said that he was fine, as long as he caught these guys.


    ����


    Half an hour later, after confirming that there was nothing else found by the trace inspection department, Roan and Mona walked into the interrogation room and began the interrogation of Fecundo Hunter.


    "Good afternoon, Fecundo-Hunter, congratulations, you are going to prison for further study again."


    Seeing that Mona opened the laptop and was ready, Roan took a sip of coffee and said with a smile:


    "I just don''t know how you will be treated in prison this time. I heard that homosexuality seems to be easily bullied in prison."


    The adjective of being bullied has been weakened a lot by Roan, together with the actual status of fetishism in federal prisons, including but not limited to being beaten by other people when they are in a bad mood, being spat on by food or other liquids, being raped in the shower... etc.


    Anyway, nothing good.


    As a prisoner who has been in and out of prison many times, and has looked down upon homosexuality before, and has even done something to such people, Fecundo Hunter immediately shouted excitedly when he heard Roan''s words:


    "Don''t slander me! I''m not homosexual! I never touched those little boys!"


    "Wow." ????Roan frowned:


    "The structure of that villa is so special, and those boys still have scars on their bodies. Do you think the judge will believe your words?"


    "Fu-k! I''m really not a homosexual!"


    Fikundo-Hunter cursed a few more words again, then he was silent for a moment, and said seriously:


    "I can say everything I know, but only if you grant me complete immunity in this case."


    "This joke is too cold, Fecundo."


    Luo An leaned back, raised his legs, and said with a smile:


    "But we can explain to the judge as appropriate based on the specific circumstances you said."


    "..."


    Seeing the expression on Roan''s face, Fecundo Hunter was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.


    Seeing the photo of Ansel Ward Jr. that Roan put in front of his eyes, Fecundo Hunter admitted that he spent money to buy the child back from her mother, and said:


    "His mother sold him to me on her own initiative. I didn''t force her at all, OK? I''m the passive party!"


    Mona rolled her eyes at a place where Fecundo Hunter couldn''t see, Roan didn''t bother to argue with him on this, and asked directly:


    "But Ansel Ward died a few days ago, what''s going on?"


    "how could I know?"


    Ansel Ward waved his hand, saying that he was just a coolie working at the grassroots level, only responsible for taking care of children.


    "If you say that, then I don''t think there is any need for an interrogation."


    Seeing that Fecundo-Hunter picked himself up completely, Roan sneered:


    "Listen, Fecundo Hunter, now is our chance to give you, not us begging you to give us information!


    To tell you the truth, the trace inspection department found a lot of useful clues in that villa. The reason why we came to interrogate you is just a necessary procedure, understand? "


    After speaking, Roan got up and was about to leave. Seeing this, Feicundo Hunter quickly called out:


    "OK! OK! Let me talk about the situation after that!"


    "Good."


    Seeing Mona give himself a thumbs up calmly, Roan slightly raised the corner of his mouth and gave her a look, then sat back on the chair again, and said coldly:


    "Then let''s talk."


    "I didn''t lie to you just now, I''m really just an ordinary person working at the grassroots level."


    Fecundo-Hunter sighed and began to talk about the whole thing.


    When he was studying in prison last time, Fecundo met a guy named Reike who was released earlier than him.


    The other party said that there is a way to make money after he is released from prison. If Feicundo can''t make it anymore, he can go to him.


    So after he was released from prison, Fecundo went to defect to Riker without even thinking about it.


    After meeting and chatting with Reich for a few days, Feicundo realized that the way to make money that the other party said was actually buying and selling children, especially little boys.


    "I actually hesitated at the time."


    Having said this, Fei Kundo made a gesture of insulting Bangziguo by raising his thumb and index finger.


    However, considering that Feicundo said that it was all for making money, and what he did was not important, Roan felt that his so-called consideration should be less than ten seconds.


    According to Fei Kunduo, this organization is very large, named [Federal Youth Hobby Association].


    They have their own organizational charters, their own guiding principles, and even guidelines for teaching association members how to hack without being discovered by law enforcement agencies, and how to cultivate and develop the bodies and minds of young people so that they will always listen to their own words.


    Finally, Fecundo Hunter sneered and said:


    "This organization has a lot of members. According to Reich, in the city of New York, there are already more than 10,000 members."


    Hearing Feicundo''s introduction, Mona''s face completely darkened.


    Roan frowned slightly, realizing some problems.


    At this moment, Augustus suddenly pushed open the door of the interrogation room and said:


    "Roan, Mona, come out."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 260： Verenes Investigation and Mona Upgrade

    Chapter 260 Verinisi investigation and Mona upgrade


    Investigation Team No. 5, the corridor outside the interrogation room.


    Hearing what Augustus said, Roan and Mona walked out of the interrogation room and found Vernis, the head of the special agent, standing in the corridor.


    Taking Roan into the monitoring room next to the monitoring room, Vernis sat on a chair and asked in a concentrated voice:


    "Roan, what is going on with this case?"


    Just now Augustus sent her a message saying that the No. 5 investigation team had discovered another major incident, but he did not explain it in detail.


    "Sir, have you heard of [Federal Youth Hobby Association]?"


    Roan first asked Vernis a question, and then began to briefly describe the investigation process of this case.


    During the description process, Roan kept observing the expression on Verinisi''s face quietly. Vernisi was not surprised when she heard the name of the association, and her expression didn''t change much.


    Luan frowned when he saw this. Sure enough, how could the FBI never discover this kind of organization.


    I just don��t know why there has been no action.


    After listening to Roan''s narration, Verinisi pondered for a while, frowned slightly and said:


    "Roan, this organization has actually been under the surveillance of our FBI."


    Verinis has more information on the ��Federal Youth Hobby Association��.


    In her introduction, the main strongholds of the [Federal Youth Hobby Association] are San Francisco and New York, and they have repeatedly called on Congress to legislate or amend the law so that children can have "sexual rights under the premise of not being sexually harassed and exploited." , "Repeal the age of sexuality laws, especially those laws that prohibit adult men from freely having **** with juveniles.", "We demand the release of men and juveniles imprisoned under these laws."


    The slogan is very loud, but it is actually a violation of boys under the pretext of "protecting the sexual autonomy of teenagers".


    In 1995, [Federal Youth Hobby Association] was disintegrated due to strong criticism from the federal public opinion and raids by law enforcement agencies. A contact mailbox that rarely responds.


    After all, child crime is one of the federal felonies, so the FBI has never let go of monitoring the remaining members of the organization.


    Luo An frowned when he heard this:


    ��But the group has come back in New York, and it��s getting bigger.��


    "Exactly."


    Verinis nodded and said in a deep voice:


    "So, someone gave them shelter."


    Roan''s expression remained unchanged, this was obvious.


    It''s just that the FBI hasn''t taken any action, so now he has some doubts whether some people at the top of the FBI are also involved.


    "You must keep the investigation process of this case a little more secret, and don''t let too many people know."


    Lowering her head and thinking for a while, Vernis stood up, looked at Roan with a gloomy face and said solemnly:


    "The methods, behaviors, procedures, etc. in the process of handling the case must be legal, and try not to leave excuses for the other party to attack.


    I will investigate this case when I go back next time, and I must communicate in time when I find out. "


    The meaning of Verinisi''s words is very obvious, that is, she is going to investigate the situation at a higher level, and the investigation team No. 5 will be responsible for the following specific details.


    "Okay, sir."


    Roan nodded and agreed, and opened the door for Verinisi when she left the monitoring room, whispering:


    "Be careful, sir."


    "Um."


    Verinis raised her mouth slightly, and also responded in a low voice.


    Although she didn''t think she would encounter any danger in investigating this case, Roan''s caring words still made her very useful.


    Flushed for a wave of Verinisi''s goodwill, Roan looked at the back of the other person walking into the elevator and smiled, then turned and walked back to the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team.


    Mona sat on the desk in the office area and asked:


    "Roan, what did Chief Verenes say?"


    Augus also came out of the team leader''s office at this time.???? "Continue to investigate!"


    Luo An waved his hand, saying that there is no reason to let go of this kind of case involving children, and there is no problem in continuing the investigation.


    It''s just that the case may involve some high-level figures, so the specific investigation process should be kept secret.


    "Good!"


    "marvelous!"


    All the detectives of investigation team No. 5 heaved a sigh of relief.


    After all, there are still some cases within the FBI that the high-level officials choose to suppress and prevent investigation.


    This situation is not uncommon.


    Augus��s expression remained unchanged. Verenice��s choice and order did not surprise him. After all, there was an uncle at the headquarters in Washington, and it was rare for Verenice to back down.


    Mona glanced at Roan with a smile on her face. Just as she was about to return to her seat and start working, Augustus suddenly said:


    "Roan, Lacey, Mona, come to my office."


    "OK."


    In the office, the four of them sat down, and Augustus handed the three of them several folders.


    Open the folder, it is not the notification of the reward after the detection of [Dr. Flavia-Francia AIDS murder]. After all, the neat case has just ended today, and the case report has not yet been written.


    In the folder is actually a notice that Roan, Mona, and Lacey will be transferred to work in Los Angeles next month.


    In the notice, there are three positions. Without accident, Roan is still a senior special agent and deputy team leader, and Lacey is also a senior special agent.


    To Mona''s surprise, the notice showed that after she was transferred and arrived in Los Angeles, her level was promoted from ordinary special agent to senior special agent.


    Mona raised her head in surprise, while Roan and Lacey applauded her with smiles on their faces:


    "Congratulations, Mona!"


    "congratulations!"


    From the perspective of other trainee agents who joined the FBI New York branch at the same time, Mona was promoted from an ordinary special agent to a senior special agent, and the speed was too fast.


    A small number of them are still trainee agents, and after most of them become regular special agents, it is even more distant to be promoted to senior special agents.


    But compared to Roan, Mona''s promotion speed is much slower.


    And in so many cases, Mona''s role in the investigation is visible to the naked eye.


    Because of this, Roan always felt that Mona''s promotion speed was too slow, so after briefly talking about Ryder''s situation with Vernis, he also talked about Mona''s level at the same time.


    "Thank you, sir."


    Mona thanked her repeatedly with a smile on her face. In fact, like Roan, she didn''t care about the rank of the agent.


    But after being promoted to a senior special agent, her salary was much higher, which made her very happy.


    As a relatively independent woman with many years of celibacy, Mona has no idea of ??relying on others for money. When financial problems arise, Mona subconsciously and habitually chooses to reduce her clothing and food to fight hard. Instead of asking someone for help.


    Even if that person is Roan who is already living with Mona.


    In the team leader''s office, the four chatted briefly about Mona''s promotion with a smile, and then Augustus asked Lacey and Mona to leave early, leaving Roan alone.


    As the door of the team leader''s office was closed, Augustus didn''t talk nonsense and asked directly:


    "Roan, do you know who the director of the FBI Los Angeles Branch-Criminal Investigation Section is?"


    "I know, Chief Verenes gave me the contact information of that person."


    Hearing Augustus'' question, Roan nodded with a smile.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 261： The central organization of 【Youth Hobby Association】

    Chapter 261 [Junior Hobby Association] Central Organization


    FBI Los Angeles Branch-Criminal Investigation Division Team Leader''s name was familiar to Roan before.


    Looking back carefully at Roan Greenwood''s memory, Roan found out that the other party''s name was Potente Byrne, and Roan Greenwood had attended courses taught by him when he was studying at the FBI Training Academy.


    However, within a few sessions of that course, Potente Byrne was transferred away, and Roan Greenwood still felt quite regretful at the time.


    "That''s right, it was your former teacher."


    Augus took a sip of coffee and said with a smile:


    "As far as I know, he used to be active outside the Federation and has a lot of experience in solving crimes. You should be able to learn a lot of new things when you go there this time."


    Roan smiled when he heard the words, but did not answer.


    Fortunately, Potente Byrne spent a relatively short time at the FBI Training Academy at that time, and there were not many lessons for Roan Greenwood.


    In addition, Roan Greenwood had just entered the FBI training academy at that time, and he was not very used to it, so his performance in all aspects was average, and he was not taken seriously by Potente Byrne.


    Otherwise, an FBI that has been active outside the Federation for many years, who knows if it will find any problems with Roan later.


    The two chatted briefly for a while, then Luo An got up and left the team leader''s office, turned around and returned to his work station.


    At the same time, William and other technical agents have found the Reich through the testimony of Fecundo-Hunter.


    "Rick Hull, 41 years old this year, has been in and out of various federal prisons for multiple crimes. Recent data shows that his financial situation is good, and his living standard has improved a lot compared to before."


    William tapped the keyboard a few times, displayed Reich''s current residence on the computer screen, and then raised his head and asked:


    "Are you going to catch this guy?"


    "Not for now."


    Roan shook his head, at this time Lacey and Ryder had finished interrogating Fecundo Hunter.


    Holding the interrogation record, Roan flipped through it and explained:


    "According to Fecundo-Hunter, the association divided the little boys into A, B, and B categories based on quality.


    The four little boys rescued by us in the villa are only the lowest-ranked grade C, and the customers are all ordinary people who go to that villa occasionally.


    The corpse we found earlier, Ansel Ward Jr. belongs to the B category, and the association sells this type of boy to its members.


    As for the highest grade A, Fecundo Hunter didn''t know that his grade wasn''t high enough to get in touch with those people. "


    "Not only that."


    Roan''s voice fell, and Lacey next to him continued:


    "Fikundo-Hunter also said that the people in the association were divided into groups like a terrorist organization, so that they could not accuse each other."


    Mona nodded, understanding what the two said:


    "That is to say, we can''t go directly to catch this Reich-Hull back now, just in case we startle the snake.


    Instead, find a way to follow this line, find all the perverts in this organization, and then wipe them all out! "


    "Exactly."


    Roan nodded, gave Mona a look, and then added:


    "Plus, this organization has actually been buying and selling young boys for a profit, so they must have a central organization


    Our next primary goal is to find this central organization and destroy it.


    As long as this central organization is destroyed, we have a high probability of being able to find every pervert and boy in this association through the people in the central organization! "


    "clear!"


    All the agents of the No. 5 investigation team nodded in unison, and William and other technical agents began to tap the keyboard quickly:


    "We''re starting to investigate Reich Hull''s relationship!"


    Lacey glanced at Roan, got up and said:


    "Fecundo Hunter said that Reich Hull, like him, only joined this organization to make money, and he is heterosexual, and often hangs out in several bars. I will go to those bars to find out the news. "


    "Be careful."


    Roan nodded, turned around and signaled Ryder to act with her, and to meet her outside at any time. At the same time, he handed Lacey a communicator: ????"If you encounter any problems, please call for support immediately."


    "rest assured."


    Lacey took the communicator and stuffed it into a different-dimensional pocket, then turned around with a smile and left the No. 5 investigation team with Ryder.


    Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Roan touched his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and began to rummage on the desk.


    Mona was a little puzzled when she saw Roan''s actions:


    "What are you looking for?"


    "I''m looking for the physical examination reports for the four little boys from the trace inspection department. Do you know where they are?"


    Mona turned around and moved to Ryder''s station after hearing this, and soon found the folder there:


    "At this."


    "Thanks."


    After taking the folder, Roan began to carefully examine the contents of the report, while Mona sat aside and waited quietly until Roan frowned and raised the corners of his mouth.


    "what have you found?"


    "Teeth! These children''s teeth!"


    Roan didn''t keep it secret, he directly opened the report in the folder, pointed to a part of the content and said:


    "The trace inspection department stated that the four little boys had been bathed, had been well cared for, and were not sick.


    Except for the irreversible wound on the back, the rest is healthy.


    Especially the teeth of these four children, the people in that organization spent a lot of money on them, the purpose is to make them grow a perfect set of teeth. "


    "So, we can look for the dentist who operated on these four children!"


    Mona clapped her hands, understood the meaning of Roan''s words, patted him on the shoulder, immediately turned around and started typing on the keyboard.


    The work of investigating suspicious persons one by one is very complicated, and the time in the afternoon quickly came to an end. After the agents of the No. 5 investigation team got off work and went back to their homes, at noon the next day, they found a lot of suspicious clues .


    At the front of the office area of ??the No. 5 investigation team, Lacey was the first to speak.


    "Based on last night''s investigation, I''m 100 percent sure Rick Hull is straight."


    Lacey posted the guy''s mugshot on the whiteboard, her face full of disdain.


    She stated that Riker approached three young girls in a bar last night, but all failed.


    After getting angry, this guy went out and paid three prostitutes, but he didn''t last ten minutes in the hotel.


    "Um��"


    Ryder, who also witnessed this scene with Lacey, grinned disdainfully, and William smiled slightly, but a male technical agent behind him touched his thigh calmly, and took two steps back.


    Roan didn''t comment on this, and turned to look at Mona, who immediately walked out, took out another photo of a middle-aged white man, and pasted it on the whiteboard:


    "This guy''s name is Jon, he''s 54 years old, and he''s a dentist who immigrated from South America.


    The four little boys we rescued from the villa yesterday, all had orthodontic surgery done by this guy.


    Not only that, but I also checked Jon''s financial situation. The income of his dental clinic did not match his usual financial situation at all. "


    "Good."


    Mona retreated to her station, and Roan immediately turned to William.


    William strode out, and while pasting photos on the whiteboard, he said:


    "We should have found the central organization of this [Federal Youth Hobby Association]!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 262： four position umbrella

    Chapter 262 Four Umbrellas


    In the office area of ??Investigation Team No. 5, at the front, William posted three photos on the whiteboard.


    The three photos are all adult white men, but there is a slight difference in age.


    ��First, Carl.��


    ?William pointed to the 37-year-old, slightly bald, middle-aged white man in the photo and introduced:


    ��This guy is a surgeon at a hospital in New York. He is never married and has three sons, aged between 5 and 10 years old. They are all adopted.


    We checked and found that there were some issues with his adoption certificate and it was most likely false. "


    Luo An wrote down this guy��s name in his notebook:


    ��A doctor can effectively check the physical condition of children at any time.


    You can also do something you like to do by the way. "


    Mona and others agreed with Luo An��s view. William continued to introduce the second suspect, a middle-aged fat white man in a suit and tie with a bright smile:


    ��This guy��s name is Doyle. He is the owner of a travel agency called [Imagination Wandering]. He is single and has no children.


    We checked the travel company. In addition to some tourism projects on the surface, the company also has some travel projects that must be registered as a member to view the specific content.


    But how to register as a member, we have not found a way. "


    Hearing this, Lacey raised her hand, looked at the detectives and said:


    ��I understand this. It is 100% the model of membership invitation and introduction.��


    ��That��s right.��


    ? Luo An expressed his affirmation of Lacey��s conjecture.


    ?This method was very common in later generations when the Internet was developed. Some adult forums basically relied on invitation codes to enter and register.


    ?William expressed that they had the same suspicion, and then went on to introduce the last person.


    ??This white man is very young. In the photo, he is standing on the school playground, holding a pair of little boys playing football and smiling:


    ��His name is Vincent, and he is the youngest son of our deputy mayor of New York City.��


    "Um��"


    Hearing William''s words, all the agents of Investigation Team No. 5 fell silent.


    Luo An turned his pen a few times and asked in a deep voice:


    ��You think these three people are the central organizational figures of the [Federal Youth Hobby Association] in New York City. Do you have any concrete evidence? Direct evidence is best.��


    ��There is no direct evidence, but we found a lot of clues.��


    William walked back to his work station, handed a few pieces of paper to Luo An and the other four, and said at the same time:


    ��Karl won��t say anything. There is something wrong with his adoption certificate, and it is most likely false.


    ?Doyle��s travel company��s main business is in South America, South Asia and other regions, and its annual reported income does not match Doyle��s own economic status.


    As for Vincent����


    William handed Luo An a newspaper. There was an article in the lower right corner. The main content was that someone revealed that the youngest son of the deputy mayor of New York often played with little boys. One of the parents later discovered that his son was not in a good state and was arrested after calling the police. Intimidation forced private settlement.


    ?This kind of report happens every once in a while and never stops, but the article is always in the corner and no one cares about it at all. The newspaper even went bankrupt some time ago.


    ��Tsk tsk tsk, it��s dark, it��s so dark.��


    Luo An was speechless after reading the contents. It is indeed a capitalist country. These guys who have the right to speak really want to have wind and rain.


    ��But these are circumstantial evidence and we cannot apply for a search warrant.��


    ?? Ryder frowned as he looked at the three little boys in the photo who were about the same age as his son and were adopted by Carl.


    Who knows what Karl did to them. ��So the next goal is to find direct evidence.��


    Luo An walked to the front of the office area, crossed his arms and looked at the photos on the whiteboard for a while, then turned to look at everyone and said:


    "Lacie, you and Ryder go to the school where the three little boys adopted by Carl go to. Ask the teachers and other people in that school to see if you can get some clues... Go to the immigration office as well. one time."


    "no problem!"


    ? Ryder and Lacey responded, threw away the folders in their hands, turned and left the No. 5 Investigation Team.


    Luo An then looked at Mona, the corners of his mouth raised slightly:


    ��Mona, I believe you have a way to get into that travel company��s website, right?��


    ?Mona smiled, raised her right hand and gave Luo An an "OK" gesture.


    "Wait a moment."


    William was a little anxious when he saw this and said:


    ��Luo An, you don��t want Mona to invade that company��s internal network and look for evidence directly, do you? In this case, the judge will decide that there is a problem with our law enforcement procedures!��


    "of course not."


    ??Although Luo An did not deal with the follow-up of the case very much, he still knew a lot about the federal procedural justice, so he explained to William and Mona with a smile:


    ��Mona, you just need to register as a member on that travel company��s website and find out the specific business of that travel company.��


    ??Mona threw an OK sign to Luo An again. Upon seeing this, William seemed to understand what Luo An was planning to do, but Luo An did not continue to explain to him, but left the No. 5 Investigation Team with the folder.


    Office of the Special Agent in Charge.


    "This is one of the suspects we found, sir."


    ??Luo An sat across from Veranith and placed information on the situation of the New York deputy mayor''s youngest son, Vincent, on the other side''s desk.


    ��Your speed is great.��


    Veranith picked up the folder, flipped through it briefly, then put it back on the table, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and handed Luoan another folder:


    ��This Vincent is indeed one of the founders and managers of the New York Association, but there are four umbrellas behind him.��


    Luo An opened the folder and found that the situation found by Veranith was more detailed. In addition to the New York deputy mayor, the identities of the four umbrellas also included a congressman, a senior executive of the New York judicial department, and an FBI New York branch. Head of a certain department.


    ?Selectively ignoring the contents of the folder about the investigation conducted by the Washington headquarters, Luo An raised his head and showed a smile to Veranith:


    ��As expected of you, sir, for finding out these things so easily.��


    Veriness heard this and threw a pair of beautiful hygiene **** to Luo An.


    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Veryness took a folder from the pile of documents next to her, lowered her head to continue working, and said at the same time:


    ��The rest will be left to you. Remember to inform me when you start taking action. I��m going to hold a large press conference.��


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this and said in a low voice:


    ��Sir, this is a big case.��


    ��It��s indeed a big case.��


    Veranith subconsciously repeated Luo An''s words, and then she paused while lowering her head to write. She slowly raised her eyes to look at Luo An, and her tone also changed a little:


    "How to say?"


    ��Sir, what are the requirements for the Special Agent in Charge to continue to be promoted?��


    ??Luo An leaned back tactically with a smile on his face and crossed his legs.


    ??I am going to Los Angeles next, and I will definitely not be able to see Veranith for a while.


    In order to prevent Veranith''s favorability towards him from declining due to distance in the future, Luo An decided to brush up Veranith''s favor before leaving New York so that she would not be able to forget him in a short time.


    At the same time, doing so would also be beneficial to Luo An himself.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 263： The evidence is ready, ready to arrest

    Chapter 263 Evidence is ready, ready to arrest


    Luo An still doesn��t know the specific situation in Los Angeles, but if he has the reputation of having just solved a major case, Luo An will definitely encounter less resistance there.


    As soon as Luo An said his words, Veranith, who was not weak in political means, instantly understood his thoughts.


    ��I have just been promoted to Special Agent in Charge, and it is unlikely that I will continue to be promoted in the short term.


    ?However, the greater the impact of solving a case, the higher the impact on future promotions. "


    Veranith also crossed her legs, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said while thinking:


    ��So, the press conference after this case can actually invite reporters from more news media.��


    ?Luo An''s mouth twitched when he heard this. Veranith was obviously used to holding press conferences, and she subconsciously wanted to hold a press conference whenever something happened.


    ??But in fact, the role of the press conference is limited. Thinking of this, Luo An no longer held back and said directly:


    ��Sir, under federal law, violating a child is a felony, but there are still many such things happening.


    I think as an FBI, it is necessary to tell the public about this kind of thing, so that they can strengthen their awareness of prevention and protect their children. This needs to be vigorously promoted by us!


    Coincidentally, we happen to have a vicious case against children in our hands. We can let the media and citizens clearly see our FBI''s determination to crack down on this type of crime, and at the same time severely crack down on the arrogance of similar criminals... "


    Luo An said a lot eloquently, but in fact, he only needed one sentence to explain it clearly:


    Propaganda, publicity, or ***propaganda!


    ?Especially since Veranith is a woman herself, she has an inherent advantage in dealing with child crimes, which can allow more people to see her determination in law enforcement, and at the same time, it can also allow her to accumulate a wave of qualifications within the FBI.


    ??It would be even better if a higher-level official could be invited to speak and express determination and encouragement.


    After listening to Luo An��s description, Veranith��s eyes instantly became extremely bright as she easily understood the subtext of his words.


    To be honest, what Luo An described was not very complicated, nor was it anything new. Veranith also knew the importance of publicity, so she held a press conference every time to answer reporters�� questions.


    But this was after all, 2005, and the large-scale news bombing methods of later generations had not yet become particularly widespread, so Luo An''s words undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for Veranith.


    ??Seeing Luo An swallowing subconsciously, Veranith''s eyes were bright, but her face became very serious, and she said in a deep voice:


    ��Thank you for your advice, I think your ideas are very useful.


    The specific action process of this case will be left to you. If you have any difficulties, remember to contact me immediately! If there is a problem, I will help you solve it! "


    "Okay, sir."


    ??Seeing the extremely satisfied light in Veranith''s eyes and her impatient hands, Luo An chuckled, briefly chatted for a few words, then got up and left the office.


    ??Luo An''s efforts in this operation were not in vain, and there was no benefit at all.


    ??In addition to what was mentioned above, this wave of operations can reduce the resistance in Los Angeles, and Luo An can actually make a lot more money.


    After all, the cake has grown bigger, and Luo An will definitely be able to get more than before.


    ��I don��t know how much the reward will be after this case.��


    ?Luo An took the folder and walked back to Investigation Team No. 5 with a smile.


    As soon as she returned to her work station, Mona turned to Luo An and said:


    ��Luo An, I have successfully registered as a VIP member on that travel company��s website, and it cost me US$200!��


    ��Wow, it��s really expensive.��


    Luo An sighed expressionlessly, then moved his chair to Mona''s side and asked:


    ��What are the specifics of the travel projects that members can view?��


    ??Mona��s fingers were flying on the keyboard and she made a disgusted expression on her face:


    ��The travel company described it as a dream trip.


    But for the specific travel content, you need to submit an application first, and then take the application materials and personal identification documents to the office of [Chang Xiang Wandering] travel company to have a detailed discussion with the boss. �� ? ? ��It��s really prudent. "


    ??Luo An hesitated and instead of asking Mona to submit the application now, she asked Mona to try to find out all the registered members through this website.


    ?Time soon passed in the afternoon, and Lacey and Ryder also returned to the No. 5 Investigation Team.


    ��Our Dr. Carl is a very cautious doctor, but his agent friend at the immigration office doesn��t pay much attention to details.��


    Lacie posted a document on the whiteboard at the front of the office area, turned around and said with a smile:


    ��At this time, the fake visas we found at the immigration bureau, and the three little boys adopted by Dr. Carl were all from South America.��


    ��Good, it seems we have grounds to arrest Dr. Carl.��


    ? Luo An checked a box on his notebook, then turned to look at William and other technical agents.


    ��We mainly checked Vincent��s financial status and recent itinerary.��


    ?William stepped forward, pasted several forms and photos on the whiteboard, and said:


    ��Our deputy mayor��s son goes to South America or South Asia several times a year, and every time he goes, he withdraws a small amount of funds from his account.


    ?According to information from the Department of Homeland Security, the money ended up in the hands of a smuggler who transported illegal immigrants to the federal government.


    The amount of money is equal to the price of a child from two to four years old entering the Commonwealth each time. "


    Lacie crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows:


    ��In other words, Vincent actually smuggled little boys?��


    "Exactly."


    ?Luo An continued to write and draw in his notes, and then looked at Mona:


    ��How is the investigation going on here?��


    ��I have found almost all the VIP customers in that travel company, and I have already made a list.��


    ??Mona��s face was full of disgust, and then she added:


    "In addition, I also found the details of this so-called "dream trip" on the computer of one of the VIP customers."


    The main content is [Imagination Roaming]. The company takes VIP customers in need to take a plane to South America or South Asia according to specific needs, and see a little boy or girl in a hotel there.


    After the event, if VIP customers want to continue, they can pay to purchase these children, and the [Imagine Roaming] company will be responsible for bringing these children back to the federation.


    ��FU-K!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ��What a bunch of ***!��


    After listening to Mona��s introduction, the entire No. 5 investigation team��s agents began to curse.


    ��In other words, the travel agency owner Doyle is responsible for contacting VIP customers and arranging itineraries. The mayor��s youngest son Vincent is responsible for official relations and smuggling children. Doctor Carl is responsible for taking care of the children and checking their health.��


    ?Luo An quickly figured out the division of tasks between the three people.


    The agents of Investigation Team No. 5 had ugly expressions when they heard this. Ryder was too lazy to talk nonsense and turned to look at Luo An and asked:


    ��Luo An, what should we do next?��


    ��The evidence is almost ready, of course we have to arrest them.��


    Luo An closed the notebook, threw it on his desk, and sneered:


    ��But for the sake of procedural justice, this arrest operation can be a little more special, such as arresting them in the same way as current criminals!��


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 264： 1015 year old boys are angels

    Chapter 264 Boys aged 10-15 are angels


    Because of the four umbrellas, the preparation for this arrest took a little longer.


    After receiving Luo An��s notice, Veranith first went to the Director of the FBI��s New York Division and reported the case to him.


    ?After a political deal, the outcome of the four umbrellas has been discussed. The head of a certain department within the FBI will be internally controlled and dismissed, and the remaining three umbrellas will be handed over to Luo An for simultaneous arrests.


    Since there were many people who needed to be arrested and children who needed to be rescued this time, and the locations were scattered, Veranith immediately temporarily added a large number of people to Luo An''s staff after coming out from the director of the FBI''s New York branch.


    Upon seeing this, Luo An immediately dispersed these people and divided them into several groups. He did not tell them what the specific operational goals and tasks were, but only informed them to be ready for action at all times.


    With everything ready, August looked at the well-organized detectives who were easily managed by Luo An. His face was full of smiles, but at the same time he was also a little emotional.


    ??Patted Luo An on the shoulder, Augustus asked:


    ��I heard that you plan to carry out this operation in the same way as current criminals. What do you plan to do?��


    Hearing this, Luo An first turned his eyes to Mona. After seeing Mona stretching out her right hand and making an "OK" gesture, he looked at August''s **** face and laughed:


    ��Sir, would you like to know more about your fetish?��


    Augus:?


    ����


    ?At 12 noon that day, Augustus drove a car and arrived at the downstairs of [Changxiang Wandering Travel Company].


    ?At this time, Augustus was wearing a casual suit, but in his pocket was not only a communicator, but also a recording pen.


    ?At the same time, behind the car that August stopped, there was also a black van, in which Mona, who was responsible for computer monitoring, and a team of SWAT members were seated.


    ?At the same time, Lacey led several teams of FBI agents, respectively responsible for arresting the deputy mayor of New York, a certain congressman, and a senior executive of a certain judicial department.


    ?? Ryder led several teams of FBI agents and SWAT teams, responsible for arresting the VIP members of this association who traveled frequently.


    ??Luo An led four teams of SWAT team members to the secret base of the [Federal Youth Hobby Association], and later prepared to deal with the guards here and rescue the children.


    All four groups of personnel arrived at the designated locations. Except for the four leaders of Luo An, the other members still did not know the specific content of the operation at this time.


    As soon as Augustus received specific evidence, other locations began to carry out unified operations.


    In the office area of ??Investigation Team No. 5, Veranith sat on the table, her eyes fixed on the actions in William''s computer and the communicator beside her.


    ??This time August needs to dress up as a VIP customer who has just joined the travel company. After all, his appearance in the No. 5 investigation team seems to be more suitable for this identity.


    ?Augus: ������


    ?Getting out of the car, Augustus patted the communicator:


    ��What��s going on? You can hear it, right?��


    ��Don��t worry, sir.��


    Luo An, who was fully armed on the other side of the communicator, checked the rifle in his hand and chuckled:


    ��We can even hear your breathing!��


    ��Good.��


    Augustus bent over and took out the documents and other information that Mona had prepared for him from the car, then turned and walked towards the building of the travel company.


    The interior decoration of the travel company is not high-profile, but very warm, giving people a feeling of returning to home.


    Because he had an appointment, he was a VIP customer, and he was dealing with hidden business of the travel company, so Augustus was quickly taken into a more private office by the front desk.


    ��Hello, you are Mr. Oval.��


    ?Every once in a while, Doyle, the owner of the travel company, would open the door and walk in with a smile.


    He has always personally received and been responsible for the hidden business of the travel company.


    ��John Oval.��


    Augustus stood up, smiled, shook hands with the other party, and asked:


    ��Have you received my application?��


    ��About our Special Ops trip to South America, right? Of course got that!��


    Doyle is a middle-aged fat white man who looks slightly similar to August with a big belly. After answering August��s questions with a smile, Doyle took August to his office and asked:


    ��But before that, I must ask, where did you learn about our travel company?��


    ��From a mutual friend of ours, of course.��


    Walking into Doyle''s office, Augustus sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "But I don''t want to mention anyone''s name."


    Doyle sat in his chair and stared at Augustus after hearing this.


    ?? Augustus�� expression remained unchanged as he took out ten thousand dollars in cash from his pocket.


    Doyle laughed upon seeing this and handed August a cup of coffee:


    ��It doesn��t matter, your private information and credit history have passed the check.��


    ?Luo An had guessed this a long time ago, so he asked Mona to make a temporary engineer''s identity information for August in advance, which was guaranteed to be fake.


    Augustus also knew this, but there was still a surprised expression on his face:


    ��Have you checked my credit history?��


    ��Of course, this is to make sure you are who you are and for both our safety.��


    Doyle nodded, admitting this as a matter of course, and later added:


    ��So, Mr. Oval, I need you to show me your ID.��


    "no problem!"


    Augustus took out the ID that Mona had prepared for him in advance from his pocket, handed it to the other party, and said with a smile:


    ��I was a little worried about safety before coming here, but now it seems that you are very professional and my friend did not lie to me.��


    ��We are a professional company that absolutely considers our customers. Our customers�� needs are our needs.��


    Doyle glanced at August''s ID briefly and returned it to him, then looked at the computer with a smile and introduced:


    ��Our trip lasts for two weeks, fourteen days in total. The round trip is business class. You will also stay in a business hotel. The $10,000 includes travel expenses, food, drinks and entertainment. Is that okay?��


    Augustus nodded with a smile on his face:


    ��The entertainment project is...?��


    Doyle crossed his arms:


    ��Do you like boys, girls, or both?��


    ??Augus patted his big belly, gave Doyle a look, and said with a smile:


    ��Girls are boring, I only like boys aged 10-15, they are angels, aren��t they?��


    "No problem at all!"


    Doyle saw the look in August''s eyes when he handed it to him, and his smile became even brighter:


    ��I agree with you, and don��t worry, we have cooperation with local orphanages. There are children as young as five years old. You may be able to try the new world.


    ??And you can also take a video as a souvenir, and we can help you bring the video into the federation afterwards. This is an additional service and is free of charge. "


    "marvelous."


    Hearing this, Augustus nodded repeatedly, expressing that he was very satisfied, and then handed the ten thousand dollars to the other party:


    ��This is the full amount, you can check it, I don��t want to leave a paper trail.��


    Taking over the ten thousand dollars, Doyle looked at the computer on the desktop with a smile and asked:


    ��Excuse me, what are you planning to do? Do you need to change your name when buying a ticket?��


    ��I want to use the name August, and I also want you to call me FBI.��


    ??Augus took out the FBI''s golden badge from his pocket, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly:


    ��Stand up! Put your hands behind your back!��


    ��Fu-k!��


    Doyle was stunned for a moment, then cursed loudly:


    ��Damn it, you are tempting law enforcement!��


    ��No, federal law calls this a conspiracy.��


    ?Mona rushed in with a team of SWAT members. At the same time, Roan, Lacey, Ryder and others in the distance also started taking action:


    ��Plastic bomb, blow it up for me!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 265： The troops were divided into N routes and the operation was successful.

    Chapter 265 The troops were divided into N routes and the operation was successful


    ??When August called out the FBI, Luo An immediately shouted through the communicator:


    "start to act!"


    ��Received!��x2


    After finishing her words, Lacey immediately sent the mission target to the agents behind her, and then divided her troops into several groups to start taking action.


    After receiving the order, Ryder immediately issued arrest warrants for the more important VIP customers, home addresses and personal information to all SWAT members, and led the team to quickly arrest people.


    The same is true here in Luo An. The base where the [Federal Youth Hobby Association] takes care of little boys is a row of townhouses located in a relatively remote area of ??Long Island.


    ?The decoration of these townhouses is the same as that of the villa that was broken into when Fequundo Hunter was arrested. The doors are all made of solid wood + steel plates.


    Not only that, there are guards outside several townhouses here, and each guard also has a rifle.


    After giving orders to Lacey and Ryder, Luo An pressed another communicator responsible for contacting the five SWAT teams in this area and said loudly:


    ��Attention all teams, approach the villa and surround the guard point as a team. Once you encounter force resistance from non-police personnel, you are allowed to kill. Repeat, you are allowed to kill!��


    "clear!"


    The order was officially issued, and the five SWAT teams immediately surrounded the villa that their respective teams were responsible for, and soon exchanged fire with the guards of the villa.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    Boom!


    ��FBI!��


    ��The enemy has a rifle in his hand!��


    ��Left side! Watch the left side!��


    ��Speed! Speed!��


    ?The number of guards in several villas was not large, but after all, they were no match for the fully armed SWAT team members, so it didn''t take much time for the teams of SWAT team members to reach the gates of their respective target villas.


    boom! boom!


    The same goes for the No. 4 SWAT team led by Luo An. They rushed into the villa at extremely fast speeds like ghosts. Luo An shot two guards in the head. At the same time, a SWAT team member attached a thickened special plastic bomb to the villa. on the door of the villa.


    Luo An did not hesitate and said sharply:


    ��Blow me up!��


    Boom!


    Boom! boom! boom!


    ??As Luo An''s words fell, the SWAT team members of Team 4 immediately activated the activation device. At the same time, the other four teams also used plastic bombs to blow up the door of the villa at about the same time.


    ? A deafening explosion resounded through the villa area, and bright flames and black smoke burst out at the same time. Luo An led the SWAT team members and immediately broke into the villa through the special door that fell to the ground.


    ?As expected, there were several armed guards in the villa.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ?Seeing the SWAT team members breaking into the villa, the guard immediately hid in the room on the second floor and fired bullets at the door of the villa on the first floor.


    ��Avoid! Avoid!��


    ��Move to the right!��


    ? Several SWAT team members subconsciously looked for obstacles to avoid, but Luo An quickly moved towards the stairs the next second the bullet hit him.


    Luo An''s speed was like a ghost. Before several guards could react, he ran to the stairs on the second floor.


    ?One of the guards'' rooms was facing the stairs. The moment Luo An ran up, he happened to meet his eyes and saw him very clearly.


    Luo An grinned upon seeing this, showing his white teeth.


    ��Shit! There��s����


    ??Seeing the smile on Luo An''s face, the guard''s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly raised his rifle and prepared to call his teammates to attack Luo An.


    ?? But Luo An didn��t give him a chance to finish his words. The next second the other person was about to move the rifle, Luo An raised the Glock 18 and pulled the trigger at this guy.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Two guns were fired into the chest and one into the head. Before he could finish his last words, the guard closed his eyes and fell backward to the ground.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��The enemy is coming up!��


    ��What? How did you get up?��


    Hearing the gunshots coming from their side and seeing their teammates lying in a pool of blood, the remaining guards were shocked and cursed. They raised their weapons and prepared to shoot at the stairs where Luo An was. . But the SWAT team members downstairs had already found their respective hiding positions. While some of them moved quickly towards the stairs, others fired at the rooms on the second floor to suppress the guards.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    Several guards were suppressed by bullets in their respective rooms. Seeing this, Luo An calmly took out a few shock bombs from his pocket.


    ��I like fairness, one for each person.��


    Luo An raised his lips slightly and threw the gifts he brought to the room where several guards were.


    Boom! boom! boom! boom!


    A burst of dazzling white light lit up. Luo An and the two SWAT team members immediately split up on the left and right sides and moved towards several rooms. Without hesitation, they pulled the trigger on the guards inside the room who did not see clearly who was coming.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    With the sound of several gunshots, several guards fell to the ground.


    ��Damn FBI!��


    At this moment, the last guard who successfully evaded the shock bomb saw the shivering little boy hiding in the corner of the room.


    ??The guard''s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled the little boy into his arms, then put the gun on the little boy''s head and shouted:


    ��FBI! I have����


    boom!


    ??Before the guard finished speaking, a **** hole appeared in the center of his forehead, and then he fell back with hope in his eyes and shock on his face.


    ??The little boy who was caught was shocked when he saw Luo An appearing in front of him with a pistol raised. He didn''t even see how the other person appeared in front of him just now.


    The eyes of several SWAT team members were also filled with shock. They felt Luo An''s silhouette flash and the guard fell to the ground after being shot.


    The sound of someone falling behind him made the little boy subconsciously want to turn around. Luoan put away his Glock 18 and put his hand in front of the little boy''s eyes, preventing him from turning around:


    ��No need to look, that uncle has already gone to chat with God.��


    ??The corners of the blindfolded boy''s mouth twitched. He was not a four or five-year-old kid who didn''t understand anything. At the age of ten, he already understood what Luo An meant.


    ?However, the little boy had no intention of breaking free from Luo An''s hands. Instead, he followed Luo An out of the villa and asked:


    ��Thank you, uncle, can you tell me your name?��


    ��Just call me brother, I��m not that old.��


    Leaving the matters in the villa to the SWAT team members, Luo An walked out of the villa, and at the same time, the communicator on his chest also rang:


    ��Villa No. 1, Villa No. 5, cleaned up!��


    ��Villa No. 2 and Villa No. 3 have been cleaned up!��


    ?Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly:


    ��Villa No. 4 has been cleaned up! Thank you for your hard work, everyone!��


    ? After briefly chatting with the captains of several SWAT teams and learning that there were no casualties and only two scratches, Luo An asked the ambulance to come here quickly, and then pressed another contact:


    ��Lacie, Ryder, how are you doing over there?��


    ??Lacie looked at a senior leader of the judicial system who was locked in the car and smiled:


    ��The mission was a complete success.��


    On the other side, looking at the white lawyer who was pushed into the car by the FBI agents and yelled for a lawyer, Ryder grinned:


    ��My side is also very successful, everyone on the list has been caught.��


    ��Well done.��


    ?After hearing what Ryder said, it was not Roan who said this, but Veranith who had been sitting in the No. 5 investigation team waiting for news.


    ??William saw a smile on Veranith''s lips, stood up and left her seat, and said to the communicator:


    ��This operation was very hard.��


    Because of Luo An��s previous suggestion, Veranith used some means to publicize a wave of child crimes last night. Not only will she attend today��s press conference, but the director and deputy director of the FBI New York Division will also attend.


    Not only that, after the press conference, there was a wave of large-scale publicity.


    Just as Luo An was about to speak, Veranith on the other end of the phone pressed the private contact channel and added:


    ��Luo An, after the press conference, come to my office alone...��


    Luo An:?

 Chapter 266： special investigative unit

    Chapter 266 Special Investigation Team


    Jacobs Federal Building.


    ??In a large conference room, Veranith, wearing a women''s suit, spoke loudly about the case in front of dozens of reporters.


    "...In this operation, we successfully destroyed an evil organization that committed crimes against children in New York City, and successfully rescued a large number of children who were violated by criminals... This is the largest and most successful crime against children in the FBI New York Division''s case. action!"


    After Veranith finished speaking, reporters from major media outlets in New York stood up with microphones in their hands:


    ��Ms. Special Agent in Charge, can you explain in detail the course of this operation?��


    ��It is said that the deputy mayor of New York City was also taken back to the Jacobs Federal Building by you. What does this case have to do with him?��


    ��Ms. Veranith, what happened to the head of the judicial department who was taken away by you? Does he also have the same addiction?��


    ����


    Looking at the reporters "waiting for food" in front of them, Veranith raised the corner of her mouth slightly:


    ��Don��t be anxious, come one by one!��


    ����


    Investigation Team No. 5, interrogation area.


    ��I told you, there is absolutely no way I would have **** with an underage boy!��


    A middle-aged white man who was thin and somewhat bald shouted loudly:


    ��You FBI are slandering my character!��


    ��What about the video tape found in your safe?��


    With a look of disdain on his face, Ryder pushed the bald white man into the temporary prison area:


    ��You should think about how to ask your lawyer to prove that you are not the person in the videotape!��


    On the other side, Lacey held a folder and said loudly:


    "In this operation, we not only captured the three organizers of the [Federal Youth Hobby Association] in New York, but also successfully captured 38 perverts with relatively high social status. Among them were teachers, court clerks, engineers, lawyers, Wall Street Stock expert����


    Mona next to her asked:


    ��Where are the children? How many were rescued in total?��


    ��There are 19 in the New York area, and there are currently no known ones abroad. The local government is investigating those children��s welfare homes.��


    Lacie turned over the records in her hand and continued:


    ��New York��s Child Welfare Department is helping these children move into temporary foster homes.��


    Mona was about to ask something else, but Luo An patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile:


    ��Don��t forget a more important thing, that is, what is happening to the murderer of Ansel Ward Jr. now?��


    After all, the original investigation of this big case was to find the murderer of little Ansel.


    ??Mona slapped her head after hearing this and hurriedly returned to her work station. After rummaging around on the table for a while, she took out a piece of paper and handed it to Luo An:


    ��According to the interrogation record of Doyle, the owner of the travel company, the guy who bought Little Ansel Ward is named Lewis, and he is a surgeon. We have now captured him.��


    "marvelous."


    Roan took the file and found that the FBI agents led by Ryder found many photos of Ansel Ward Jr. in this guy''s home, and a small freezer was also found in the basement.


    After thinking about it, Luo An added:


    ��Don��t forget to ask the Trace Inspection Department to go to this surgeon��s home to carefully search for evidence. We must nail this pervert and let him go to prison to experience the beautiful life of a homosexual.��


    ��I have asked the Trace Inspection Department to investigate.��


    At this moment, Augustus came over, patted Luo An on the arm, and said with a smile:


    ��Well done, Roan, the course of action was really great!��


    ��It��s all the result of everyone��s joint efforts.��


    ?Luo An replied with a smile.


    Augustus, who had just returned from the press conference, was a little emotional when he heard this. After all, Luo An was about to leave New York for Los Angeles.


    However, Augustus also knew what was going on in Luo An��s trip to Los Angeles, so he patted Luo An��s arm again and grinned: ��The press conference is over, Veranith wants to see you if I have anything to do. , you should hurry up and go to her office."


    ��OK.��


    ??Recalling the words that Veranis emphasized on the phone before, Luo An''s head jumped slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. He nodded and left the No. 5 investigation team with a smile.


    Office of the Special Agent in Charge.


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    "Enter!"


    ??When Luo An entered the office, Veranith did not sit on the chair as usual, but faced the window and dialed the phone.


    She gave Luo An a look and asked him to sit down first. Veranith did not hide anything from Luo An during the phone call. The overall content was that more than a dozen large, medium and small media in New York would work together to report this case, and strive to make the entire The citizens of New York know that the FBI uncovered a major crime against children.


    Of course, Veranith herself definitely does not have such energy, but at the press conference just now, the director of the FBI New York Division also attended and briefly explained the case, and praised Veranith and the person responsible for this case. investigation team for the case.


    A few minutes later, the call finally ended. Veranith turned around and looked at Luo An with a smile on her face:


    ��Luo An, I am very satisfied with the gift you gave me before you left New York. Thank you.��


    ??Virinisi guessed Luo An''s thoughts after thinking about it for a while. She was happy and relieved that she had indeed seen the wrong person.


    ��This is what I should do, sir.��


    ??Luo An chuckled. He was really lucky to meet Veranith after joining the FBI. He had the brains, background, and the opportunity to give his subordinates the opportunity to take charge. It is not easy to find such a leader.


    ??The long, white thighs must be hugged tightly and must not be pried away by others.


    Veranith smiled even more when she heard Luo An''s words. She raised her coffee towards Luo An. Upon seeing this, Luo An also raised the coffee and Veranith looked at each other and smiled, then raised their heads and drank together.


    ��I��m calling you to the office this time, mainly because I��m giving you a chance.��


    The two of them put down their coffee. Veranith didn''t show off and handed Luo An a document.


    ? Luo An opened the folder and found that the contents inside actually came from the FBI headquarters in Washington.


    ��With the rapid development of the federal cyber world, the way our FBI investigates cases also needs to be rectified.��


    ?Veranith picked up the coffee on the side and refilled it for herself and Luo An, and said:


    ��In the past, to investigate a case, we sometimes needed to contact other departments, but this was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but sometimes other departments refused to cooperate.


    ??Our own internal personnel at the FBI are also relatively redundant, and occasionally there are delays..."


    ?Luo An''s eyes lit up slightly when he heard this. He thought of the later FBI and the relatively streamlined organizational structure of some departments.


    As expected, Veranith then said that the Washington headquarters decided to set up ten "special investigation teams" with streamlined personnel to judge whether reforms can be carried out based on their performance in daily work.


    ?Veriness successfully obtained a spot on the investigation team for the Los Angeles branch where Luo An was going.


    ?In the future work of this investigation team, the personnel structure will not exceed seven people, including one staff member who is responsible for contacting other law enforcement departments. The specific law enforcement content is not fixed and will be decided by the leader of the investigation team.


    In layman''s terms, this kind of investigation team has a small number of people, and they can handle whatever case they want to handle. The team leader has the final say.


    "Wow."


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows when he saw this and looked at Veranith:


    "Then the leader of the investigation team I joined is...?"


    ��There is currently no team leader.��


    Veranith leaned back tactically, kicked up Erlang��s legs, looked at Luo An and laughed softly:


    ��According to regulations, when there is no team leader, the deputy team leader shall act as the team leader!��

 Chapter 267： Case ends Hollywood cult dinner

    Chapter 267 Case ends Hollywood cult dinner


    ?Hearing Veranith''s words and seeing the smile on her face, Deputy Team Leader Luo An also grinned.


    ?However, some questions still need to be asked in advance:


    ��What about the members of this investigation team?��


    ��The team leader decides to recruit at his own discretion.��


    ��Where are the funds for the investigation team?��


    ��Distributed directly by the local FBI branch finance department.��


    After asking several questions in succession, deputy team leader Luo An had a bright smile on his face and closed the folder:


    ��Thank you, sir, I will definitely live up to your expectations.��


    "I trust you."


    Veranith nodded, she trusted Luo An in solving the case.


    ?However, Luo An will assume the responsibility of the leader of the investigation team in the future, so Veranith briefly explained to him some problems he may encounter in the future, as well as the corresponding solutions.


    ? Luo An memorized it in his mind seriously. This kind of knowledge is more important than solving crimes. After all, people with guns cannot play politics.


    ?Seeing Luo An��s attitude of listening carefully, Veranith was even more satisfied and said that she would call her in time if she encounters any problems in the future. Finally, she added:


    ��After all, these ten special investigation teams were set up by the Washington headquarters in ten major cities in the federal territory, so as long as they perform well, it may not take more than a year to be transferred to other cities.��


    ��I understand, sir.��


    Hearing this, Luo An patted the folder in his arms, then smiled and raised the coffee cup in his hand to Veranith.


    Veranith also raised the corner of her mouth when she saw this, and raised the coffee cup in her hand again.


    ??The sun shines into the office through the glass, and the air is slightly hot, but the two of them feel even hotter in their hearts.


    ����


    Leaving Veranith''s office, Luo An held the folder in the corridor, thinking as he walked:


    ??The personnel structure of this special investigation team cannot exceed 7 people, including 1 guy who is responsible for contacting other law enforcement agencies.


    Including himself, Mona and Lacey, there are actually only 3 people that Luo An can actually recruit.


    Luo An is the team leader...the deputy team leader, responsible for overall leadership.


    ?Mona��s skills are all on the computer, so she can be responsible for computer-related technical work such as checking information and monitoring.


    The difference between Lacey''s skills lies in disguising her identity and searching for clues. The difference is that Lacey is good at finding clues offline, and her success rate is extremely high. Therefore, in the future, she will investigate suspects'' interpersonal relationships offline, and perform disguise and role-playing work suitable for women. , she can be responsible for it.


    ��So, what expertise do the remaining three people need?��


    ? Luo An walked into the elevator with the folder and felt a little headache.


    Back to Investigation Team No. 5, there is still some confusion here.


    There was no way. There were too many people arrested at once this time. Although Veranith also sent other investigation teams to temporarily help, they still could not completely solve the problem for a while.


    But these had nothing to do with Roan as usual. He handed the folder he took from Veranis to Mona and Lacey. As soon as he explained it carefully, Augustus called him to his office and got it. Two folders.


    ?One of the folders contained a notification of the reward for the "Murder Case of Dr. Flavia Farlan". Among them, the agents of the No. 5 Investigation Team each received US$2,000, and Luo An received US$4,000.


    Seeing the smile on Luo An''s face, August couldn''t help but sigh.


    After Luo An leaves for Los Angeles, the monthly salaries of the agents of their No. 5 Investigation Team will definitely drop a lot, and he, the leader of the investigation team, is no exception.


    ??Augus patted his big belly and decided to do what Luo An did before he came to the No. 5 Investigation Team, go to Dillon''s place for a drink after get off work.


    Dillon:?


    Opening the second folder, the content inside was somewhat beyond Luo An''s expectation, because it contained an interrogation record. "This is the interrogation record of Vincent, the youngest son of the deputy mayor of New York. When you went to Veranith''s place, Lacey and I had already finished interrogating him."


    Augustus straightened up, with a serious expression on his face:


    ��According to Vincent, the [Federal Youth Hobby Association] was an organization he joined when he was a student at the University of Southern California.


    In addition to him, many classmates also joined this association. "


    ��University of Southern California.��


    Looking at the text in front of him, Luo An''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    The University of California, also translated as the University of Southern California, referred to as the University of Southern California, was founded in 1880 by the Board of Regents. It is the oldest private research university on the west coast of the Commonwealth and a world-renowned institution of higher learning.


    The point is not the history of this school, but the location of this school in Los Angeles.


    The Federal Juvenile Hobby Association was first established in San Francisco, where there is still a mailbox for the organization to receive money from others.


    The distance between San Francisco and Los Angeles only takes 6 hours by car and only 1 hour by plane.


    Recalling some news from his previous life, Luo An raised his head and asked:


    ��Sir, there seem to be a lot of cults in Los Angeles or Hollywood, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Augustus nodded. There were too many rich people and celebrities in places like Hollywood, which naturally made them the targets of cults. Therefore, there were countless cults there, and they were of various types, including all kinds of weird teachings.


    More importantly, although those celebrities look glamorous on the outside, they are actually very insecure. There is great pressure in the industry and they often feel that their talents are not in line with their reputation. Cults can easily give them a sense of belonging and a sense of belonging. Meaning of life beyond career.


    ��Tsk tsk tsk.��


    ?Luo An shook his head, closed the folder, and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you sir, I will pay more attention to this association of perverts when I am in Los Angeles.��


    "That''s good."


    Augustus leaned back. The New York branch of this organization was led by Luo An to carry out such a heavy blow this time. It was impossible for the guys in the headquarters of this organization not to bear grudges against the FBI, so Augustus went out of his way to do it this time. Warn Luo An to be more careful in the future.


    The two chatted briefly for a while, then Luo An got up and left the place and returned to his work station.


    ? Time soon came to off-duty time. The two cases had been solved and there was no need to work overtime, so the agents of the No. 5 Investigation Team came to the "Blue Tuna" barbecue restaurant not far from the Jacobs Building.


    ��Cheers!��


    A group of agents raised their glasses and cheered loudly.


    After drinking the glass of wine, Augustus raised his glass again and proposed loudly:


    ��Everyone, let��s give a toast to Deputy Team Leader Luo An!��


    ??Hearing August calling Luo An deputy team leader, all the agents at the wine table understood what he meant. After all, everyone already knew that Luo An and the others were going to Los Angeles in a few days.


    ��Greetings to Luoan!��


    "Thanks."


    Luo An raised his glass.


    The wine glasses fell and the atmosphere of the party cooled down a bit. However, as Luo An and Lacey took the initiative to joke around, laughter soon erupted again around the wine table.


    Because he had to go to work tomorrow to deal with the follow-up of this case, the banquet ended quickly, and the detectives also drove back to their homes in their own cars.


    ?However, what surprised Luo An was that this time Lacey did not disappear with a certain waitress during the banquet. Instead, after the banquet, she got into Luo An and Mona''s car.


    ??Mona:��


    Luo An:?


    A new case in Los Angeles will start tomorrow. I wonder if any book friends have any suggestions for the new agents, such as their specialties and so on.''''

 Chapter 268： New harvest of talent Lacey Luan system

    Chapter 268 New Harvests from the Talent Lacey Luan System


    The atmosphere inside a Chevrolet in the parking lot of the restaurant was a bit strange.


    ?Luo An was sitting in the driver''s seat of the car, looking at Lacey who suddenly broke into the back seat with a confused look on his face.


    ?Mona in the co-pilot was also a little confused, but she didn''t panic. Lacey''s usual performance made her feel reassured.


    "Do not misunderstand."


    ?Seeing Luo An��s eyes, Lacey stood up from the wine stall and waved her hand, saying:


    "I just want to ask a question and then leave. There is a girl waiting for me."


    ��OK.��


    Luo An turned around and changed into a more comfortable position:


    "what is the problem?"


    ��About investment issues.��


    ? Lacey rubbed her hands and smiled, saying that she had recently saved more than three hundred thousand dollars and wanted to buy some stocks that could be held for a long time, so she came to Luo An for advice.


    ��Have you saved more than three hundred thousand dollars?��


    Before Luo An could say anything, Mona immediately turned around and asked with surprise:


    ��How did you get all this money?��


    ��Of course it depends on your Luo An.��


    Lacey laughed and said that since Luo An joined the No. 5 Investigation Team and solved the first case, she has been saving the bonuses and monthly wages given after each case. Basically, Never spent it.


    What��s more, she also received tens of thousands of dollars after the previous bombing in Los Angeles.


    ��It��s impossible to have so much money!��


    ??Mona shook her head repeatedly. She was also a beneficiary, but she had been frugal and had not saved that much money until now. Not to mention that Lacey stayed up every night and went to various bars and parties after get off work every day.


    Hearing Mona��s question, Lacey straightened up and put her hands on her hips, her face full of pride:


    ��Do you think I��ll spend money when I go to the bar?��


    Lacey said that when she goes to bars and hotels, she always uses her superb ventriloquism and finger skills to get the other party to spend money on her. Occasionally, she can also get entertainment venues run by female bosses to give her a free bill.


    Not only that, Lacey said that she did not have any pressure on rent because the landlord was in his 40s and it took her a week to win over him.


    So Lacey��s actual daily expenses are only food, but she usually eats breakfast from others or doesn��t eat it at all, and usually goes to a bar for dinner. In the end, the only real expense is lunch. .


    ��??!��


    ??Mona was dumbfounded when she looked at the proud Lacey in the back seat of the car. Roan''s eyes also widened. After a long silence, he raised his right hand and gave Lacey a thumbs up:


    ��You are such a talent.��


    "Hahaha��"


    Lacie looked up and laughed when she saw this:


    ��I also think I am a talent!��


    ?However, the stock market is risky and investment needs to be cautious. After Luo An told Lacey the three companies he invested in, he repeatedly emphasized that he must not invest all his money in the stock market, and he could only invest one-half at most.


    ?Three hundred thousand seems like a lot, but in a place like Wall Street it can only be regarded as a small leek.


    ��OK, I��ll keep your advice in mind.��


    Lacie happily took the note handed over by Luo An. Tonight was another sleepless night for her.


    ?However, Lacey said that she has actually restrained herself a lot recently, and she is no longer staying up at night seven days a week and six days before.


    There are only five days left.


    ?There is no other way, she is getting older. Touching the corners of her eyes, Lacey sighed. She is already a woman running for four years.


    ??Mona and Luo An were about to say something when they saw this. The next second, the sadness on Lacey''s face disappeared instantly. She opened the door and ran out of the car, saying with a smile on her face:


    ��But at this age, it��s even more important to have fun in time, isn��t it? What��s more, you can still save money!��


    After saying that, Lacey shook the note to express her gratitude to Luo An, then turned and ran to the edge of the parking lot, where a girl was waiting for her.


    ����


    ?Looking at the figure in the distance who started hugging and laughing with the girl, Luo An''s face twitched and he didn''t know what to say.


    ?Fasten your seat belt, step on the accelerator and drive the Chevrolet out of the parking lot. Luo An turns his attention to Mona because the air pressure on the passenger side is a bit low.


    ��What''s wrong?�� ????��I''m so stupid, really.��


    Mona leaned against the car window and looked out the window, whispering:


    ��I didn��t expect Lacey to have saved so much money.��


    ??Mona had always thought that Lacey, like herself, was a free-spirited person who spent money today and tomorrow...


    Unexpectedly, the good sister stabbed her directly in the back.


    ��But haven��t you already bought a small apartment?��


    ?? Luo An was speechless when he saw this. Mona actually earned a lot of money, but just to buy that apartment, her money was always tight.


    Luo An''s comfort had no effect, and Mona''s whole body was still gray-white.


    The few jokes that she usually kept on her lips still couldn''t make Mona laugh. At this time, the Chevrolet had arrived downstairs in the apartment. Seeing this, Luo An was too lazy to continue talking. After parking the car, he directly took Mona out of the passenger seat and said viciously. :


    ��No matter how big the deal is, I��ll let you make several hundred million tonight!��


    ??Mona: ��??!��


    One million words later, Mona successfully fell asleep, and Luo An wandered into the bathroom.


    Pressing the switch to start showering, Luo An opened the system page in his mind, took out a bottle of stamina potion and drank it.


    After solving the AIDS case previously, the system rated Luo An as excellent, and the four treasure boxes opened were [Stamina Potion x1] [Danger Sensing Potion x2] [Sensitive Potion x1].


    After cracking the case involving the Federal Youth Hobby Association, the system gave Luo An an extremely good rating. The five treasure boxes it opened included [Analgesic Potion x2] [Scuba Potion x1] [Sleep Potion x1] Swiftness Potion x1].


    At this time, in Luo An��s system warehouse page, there is [Hemostatic Potion x5]


    ��Antidote x3��


    ��Swift Potion x2��


    ��Strength Potion x2��


    ��Sensitive Agent x2��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x4��


    ��Featherfall Potion x2��


    ��Stamina Potion x2��


    ��Sleep Potion x2��


    ��Scuba Potion x2��


    ��Weakness Potion x1��


    ��Danger Sense Potion x2��


    As usual, Luo An gargles a bottle of stamina potion after meals every day, and after drinking the two bottles of [Danger Sense Potion] into his stomach, Luo An found that there seemed to be some other changes in himself.


    When a dangerous situation occurred in the past, Luo An would feel an early warning before the danger occurred.


    ??Although Luo An was a little uncomfortable with the feeling of his **** being on fire, he was a life-saving presence after all.


    After drinking two bottles of [Danger Sensing Potion] this time, Luo An discovered that not only could he receive early warning when encountering danger, but under normal circumstances, when face to face with other people, Luo An could also faintly sense unknown dangers. It comes from the attitude of others towards you.


    ?For example, Roan feels very comfortable when facing Mona. Roan can also feel a warmth when facing Lacey, August, Ryder and others.


    When facing those guys he captured, as long as Luo An''s mind moved slightly, a wave of cold malice suddenly hit his face.


    Not only that, when taking the elevator in the Jacobs Federal Building, he sometimes met some unfamiliar passers-by, and Luo An could also faintly sense their attitude towards him.


    Because everyone has many emotions, admiration, jealousy, curiosity, etc. are too complicated. Luo An can''t figure out what the other person is thinking when they see him.


    ?However, Luo An can still easily distinguish between the cold disgust and the warm and spring-like good feeling.


    ��So, I have an extra team member enemy identifier?��


    ? Luo An grinned in the water and began to become a little curious about his life after going to Los Angeles.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 269： Luo An: Los Angeles, here I come!

    Chapter 269 Luo An: Los Angeles, here I come!


    ?However, even if he began to feel other people''s attitudes towards him in his mind, Luo An had no intention of relying entirely on it.


    Because human thoughts are too complex.


    Some people may have a really good attitude towards you, and they may have the best intentions for you, but their actual actions are seriously hurting you. In this case, the "emotional feelings" in the mind cannot be accurately distinguished.


    Therefore, Luo An only intends to use his newly acquired ability as a tool to assist him, not as a dependence.


    A month sounds like a long time, but when Luo An and the four returned from Los Angeles, it was already around the 10th of that month.


    After they came back, they encountered another [serial murder case in which both bodies were cut off] and two murder cases in the garbage dump. Therefore, in less than a week, the agents of the No. 5 Investigation Team had not finished handling the [Federal Youth Hobby Association]. As this case continued, it was time for Luo An, Lacey, and Mona to head to Los Angeles.


    Neither Luo An nor Mona had the idea of ??renting out their apartment, so in the past few days, they found a company that specializes in such situations and asked them to help them in the next year. take care of.


    ??Due to their FBI status, the company also upgraded Luo An and Mona to VIP customers for free.


    ??The Chevrolet was left in the garage in New York by Luo An. It was unrealistic to drive all the way from New York to Los Angeles. It would take too long.


    ??The price of consignment is also too expensive, a few thousand dollars is not worthwhile...so Luo An plans to spend 100,000 dollars to buy a new car after arriving in Los Angeles.


    Mona: ������


    In the airport, Luo An, Mona, and Lacey were saying goodbye to August, Ryder and other agents of the No. 5 Investigation Team.


    ��Thank you for taking care of me during this time, sir.��


    Roan hugged Augustus, then turned to hug Ryder and slapped each other on the back:


    ��Thank you also Ryder for your help during this time.��


    ��We should be the ones thanking you.��


    Roan''s powerful slapping made Ryder feel like his blood was about to come out. He hurriedly pushed Luo An away from his arms and said with a smile:


    ��Remember to call us when you get to Los Angeles. When the holidays come, Yvonne and I will go there for vacation!��


    ��Don��t worry, I will treat you to barbecue when the time comes.��


    ?Luo An laughed and turned around to continue chatting with Augustus.


    Lacey and Mona were also chatting with William and others. Soon it was time to board the plane. No one said anything more. After hugging and waving their hands again, the three of Luo An turned and walked towards the depths of the airport.


    ??Augus was very emotional when he saw Luo An gradually disappearing. He initially thought that Luo An would be the one to replace him as leader of the No. 5 Investigation Team in the future.


    But now Luo An has become the deputy leader of one of the ten "special investigation teams". When the two meet again in the future, Luo An may be on the same level as him.


    ��It��s good to be young.��


    ??Augus patted his big belly and sighed in a low voice, then turned to look at Ryder, William and other agents aside, and said loudly:


    ��Go back to Investigation Team No. 5! The association��s follow-up to this case has not been completed yet. When it is completed, the bonus will be distributed!��


    Investigation Team No. 5 agents: ������


    When they thought that after today, their monthly salary would most likely return to the original level, the faces of the agents suddenly turned bitter.


    ??In the distant Jacob Federal Building, Veranith sat in her office and looked at the time. She thought of something and smiled, then continued to lower her head and process the documents at hand.


    ??The plane quickly climbed into the sky. Mona and Lacey sat together, holding a magazine and muttering something in a low voice. Roan took a sip of coffee and looked at the scenery outside the window, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised:


    Los Angeles, here I come!


    ����


    ??There was no air hijacking incident as imagined, and the three of Luo An arrived in Los Angeles safely.


    As soon as he walked out of the airport, Luo An saw several white people in suits talking together in the parking lot.


    One of them, a middle-aged white man with a serious face, a short beard and a straight body, stood in the middle. When he saw the three Luo An, he immediately raised his hand and shouted: "This way!"


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the face of a middle-aged white man. The person who came was none other than Roan Greenwood''s teacher at the FBI training academy, Potente Byrne, the team leader of the Criminal Investigation Division of the FBI''s Los Angeles Branch.


    After giving Mona and Lacey a look, Roan quickly walked up to them, smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Potente-Bourne''s hand:


    ��Hello teacher, I will learn from you again in the future.��


    While speaking, Luo An''s mind moved slightly, opening up the emotional feelings in his mind, and then he felt a feeling that was neither warm nor cold.


    Luo An''s expression remained unchanged. After all, the two of them had not seen each other for a long time, and they had no interest in each other. It was normal to have a neither cold nor indifferent attitude.


    ??If the other person gives him a very warm feeling, Luo An should pay more attention.


    "Um."


    Potente-Bourne stretched out his hand to shake hands with Roan, then patted his arm. Without saying anything else, he pointed directly at the car beside him and said:


    ��Luo An, get in one car with me, and the rest of us get in another car.��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    The dark SUV left the airport parking lot and merged into the traffic. Potente Byrne, who was sitting in the back seat of the car with Luo An, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Luo An. Luo An took it with a smile but did not smoke it. :


    ��Thank you, sir.��


    Potente-Bourne didn��t care either. He lit the cigarette and opened the car window. After a few seconds of silence, he turned around and said:


    ��To be honest, Roan, a lot of people here don��t like you.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he chuckled:


    ��I��m not a dollar, so I definitely can��t make everyone like me.��


    ??The spot for this "Special Investigation Team" originally belonged to the Los Angeles branch, but it was taken away by a guy from New York. Luo An thought about it with his buttocks and knew that many people in the Los Angeles branch must be unhappy with him.


    But so what?


    Within the rules, Luo An was sure to suppress the dissatisfaction of those people.


    ??But outside the scope of the rules... Luo An said that he has never forgotten his killer skills.


    ?Hearing Luo An''s words and seeing the confident look on his face, Potente-Bourne took a drag on his cigarette, his expression unchanged, and he was a little satisfied with Luo An in his heart.


    Potente Byrne had seen Roan''s performance in internal materials before, but he had been on the verge of death for many years and was a little suspicious of everything. In addition, he had no idea about Roan Greenwood in his mind. There were too many impressions, so he came here specifically to observe Luo An this time.


    At present, Luo An feels pretty good about himself.


    ??The expression on Luo An''s face remained the same, and the emotional feelings in his mind made him realize that the other party''s attitude towards him was a little warmer.


    ��Here are the keys to your special investigation team��s exclusive office, vehicle keys, and case-handling funds.��


    ?The car quickly arrived at the hotel temporarily rented by the FBI''s Los Angeles branch for the three of them. After the three got out of the car, Potente Byrne handed Luo An a folder and said expressionlessly:


    ��You have three days to rest, and after three days you will appear in that office.��


    After saying that, Potente-Byrne led the convoy directly to leave the hotel.


    ��What a cold guy.��


    Lacie curled her lips, turned around and walked into the hotel with her luggage:


    ��Luo An, can I move around freely these three days?��


    ��Remember not to be late in three days.��


    ��OK!��


    After tidying up the hotel room, Lacey disappeared. Luo An was going to take Mona to buy a car first and then go to dinner. They were going to spend these three days well.


    But soon, Los Angeles, the City of Angels, gave them a big surprise.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 270： The female knight is in crisis!

    Chapter 270 The female knight is in sudden crisis!


    City of Angels, Los Angeles.


    As the world-famous movie mecca of Hollywood, the city of Los Angeles never lacks all kinds of luxuries, and all kinds of services are also quite complete.


    Traveling in the huge city of Los Angeles is inseparable from a car, so after Luo An and Mona finished briefly tidying up at the hotel, they headed to the 4S store not far away.


    ��What car are you planning to change into this time?��


    On the way to the 4S store, Mona, dressed in a cool vacation outfit, asked while holding an ice cream.


    ??The sun in Los Angeles is so abundant that Mona decided to buy more sunscreen products later.


    Luo An, who was walking beside Mona, finished the ice cream in his hand in two bites and replied:


    ��You know, the car I drove in New York was a Chevy.��


    ??Mona nodded and followed his words and began to check out several new Chevrolets not far away. Unexpectedly, Luo An took a big breath and continued:


    ��So, I��m a little tired of driving Chevrolet, and I plan to change to a Porsche this time.��


    ����


    ??Mona stopped walking when she heard this and narrowed her eyes slightly to stare at Luo An.


    What does "tired of driving" mean?


    Luo An reacted quickly upon seeing this, hurriedly put his arms around Mona, and laughed softly:


    ��Just talking about cars.


    Mona, you know me. Which night do I not concentrate on my hard work? "


    She rolled her eyes at Luo An. Mona knew that Luo An was talking about cars, and she also knew his attitude towards her.


    But as a smart woman, sometimes she still needs to give a man a proper blow to prevent him from having some evil thoughts.


    ??The Chevrolet that Luo An drove when he was in New York was given to him by someone else, so this is actually Luo An''s first time buying a car.


    ?But as I said before, Hollywood is a world-famous place, and there are too many people here who quickly become millionaires every year because of movies or other reasons. The first thing these new rich people do after they get money is to buy.


    So in most stores in this area of ??Los Angeles, the services inside are very good and the attitude of the service staff is also good. No one has trouble with money.


    Although Luo An and Mona were wearing cheap holiday clothes, they did not meet the kind of waiters who would come up to make people slap in the face, so Luo An quickly spent 140,000 US dollars to buy a Porsche and drank a cup of tea. The other party took care of all the matters related to the car.


    ?Hum buzz��


    Opening the door and sitting in the cab, Luo An touched the console and inserted the key into the starter. The brand new Porsche suddenly roared.


    ?Sure enough... no matter what era it is in, the sound of a new car is so exciting.


    ??The silver car swerved onto the road, and the wind slid in through the half-opened window, blowing the hair of Luo An and Mona, which made people feel very happy.


    ?More than two hours later, Mona also bought a car, but the car she bought was just an ordinary second-hand car and the cost was less than US$5,000.


    During this period, Mona refused Luo An��s gift of a new car. At this time, Mona still regarded herself and Luo An as two independent individuals. Years of independent living also made Mona not want to develop the habit of relying on Luo An. .


    So the house the two rented in Los Angeles this time also has two bedrooms, and the rent is AA. Everyone has his own private space.


    Luo An had no choice but to respect Mona''s independent attitude.


    ?At 8:30 in the evening, Luo An put on a suit and Mona put on a red dress, and drove a Porsche to a high-end restaurant in Los Angeles.


    After finishing two slices of steak, two portions...two boxes of caviar, some other meals and fruits, Luo An drove Mona to a mountainous road near the sea in Los Angeles.


    ?Looking down this road, you can just overlook half of Los Angeles and the ocean with lights shining in the distance.


    ��It is indeed the city of angels.��


    ??Luo An got out of the car and stretched himself against the lukewarm evening breeze. Mona on the side was a little distracted looking at the beautiful scenery.


    The breeze blew, and Mona''s red skirt fluttered slightly. Coupled with her curvy figure and delicate face, Luo An''s heart suddenly became hot.


    ??Walked behind Mona and stretched out his arms to hug her. Luo An whispered in her ear:


    ��Mona, you look like an angel now.�� ��Thank you.��


    The smile on Mona''s face was as bright as a firework. She grabbed the hand that had moved to her chest at some point, turned around, and pushed Luo An onto the front hood of the Porsche.


    ??The expression on Mona��s face gradually became arrogant:


    ��You know what, angels may not be able to ride horses, but I can!��


    "Wow."


    The scene here is very similar to the scene at the end of Transformers 1 when the hero and heroine kissed Bumblebee on the hood of the car.


    Luo An raised the corners of his mouth and folded his hands behind his head:


    "Then let me see the style of a female knight."


    ??A smirk flashed in Mona''s eyes, she grabbed the tie on Luo An''s chest and lowered her head to kiss him.


    ?As time passed, the air on the front hood of the Porsche was getting hotter and hotter, and dinner was about to begin. But at this moment, a roar of a sports car suddenly came rushing towards us from a distance.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ?Mona, who was on the front hood of the Porsche, quickly jumped out of the car to tidy up her clothes. Luo An also quickly stood up and cursed.


    At this time, Luo An was very angry. While quickly arranging his clothes, his eyes full of anger were fixed on the direction where the sound of the sports car came from.


    He wants to see who is disturbing him. If there is a chance in the future, he must have a good chat with the other person.


    Within a few seconds, Luo An saw a silver-gray sports car.


    ??But what Luo An didn''t expect was that there were several cars speeding behind the sports car.


    Not only that, the people in the cars behind also pulled out their guns and pulled the triggers on the sports car!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    The silver-gray sports car was darting left and right on the mountain road and hurriedly dodged. When Luo An saw this group of people getting closer and closer to him, his face suddenly became extremely ugly:


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ??At this time, there was no time to start the Porsche and run away. He didn''t bring a gun to go to a high-end restaurant tonight, so Luo An had no choice but to grab Mona and hide behind the Porsche.


    ?As soon as Mona was pinned down, the silver-gray sports car roared past on the road in front of Luo An.


    The speed of the sports car was so fast that Luo An couldn''t see the details of the other person''s face, but he saw two people in the sports car, both of whom were men.


    ?After the sports car left here, five cars followed at lightning speed, leaving behind a sky filled with smoke and the smell of gun smoke.


    ��Damn it! What on earth is going on?��


    ??Mona, who was pinned down by Luo An, struggled to raise her head, looked at the dusty red dress and cursed. This dress was her most expensive dress!


    ��Don��t move! Get down!��


    ?The next second, Mona��s head was pressed down by Luo An again, because after the five cars drove away, there was a black car of the same model behind them.


    Not only that, the people in the car also raised their rifles and pulled the trigger towards the Porsche!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ��I@*��%#%����


    Hearing the sound of bullets hitting the Porsche, Luo An''s face suddenly became extremely angry.


    ??But the angrier he got, the calmer Luo An became. Cars like the Porsche were good, but they couldn''t withstand bullets at all, so he hurriedly took Mona back to a rock further back.


    Boom! !


    As soon as the two moved behind the stone, the Porsche suddenly exploded and turned into a big fireball.


    Not only that, the black car slowly parked on the side of the road, and two guys wearing masks and holding rifles walked in this direction.

 Chapter 271： Luo An: I just bought a new car!

    Chapter 271 Luo An: I just bought a new car!


    ��I just bought a new car!��


    ?Looking at the flames rising in front of him, Luo An''s face was full of anger, and his eyes began to turn blood red little by little.


    ??Mona, who was hiding behind Luo An, just raised her head when several bullets were fired at her. She hurriedly lowered her head to avoid it. Cold sweat fell from Mona''s forehead, and she cursed in an extremely annoyed tone:


    ��Fu-k! If I had known, I would have brought a gun to dinner tonight!��


    ??Mona felt that her heart was about to jump into her throat, and she subconsciously looked at Luo An at the critical moment:


    ��Luo An, what should I do?��


    ��Hide well and follow my orders to act.��


    At this time, Luo An felt murderous intent. After answering Mona without emotion, he picked up a few stones from the ground and handed them to Mona:


    ��When you hear what I say, throw stones at the enemy��s position!��


    ��What?��


    Luo An��s words left Mona Zhanger confused, but at the critical moment she did not raise her own questions. Instead, she pulled the tie on Luo An��s chest and kissed him **** the mouth. A flash of determination flashed in her eyes:


    ��If you die, I will stay with you.��


    ��Don��t worry, we won��t die tonight.��


    ?Luo An chuckled, then quickly turned around. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a chilling indifference.


    The two of them were back to back. Luo An took out a bottle of swiftness potion, a bottle of analgesic potion and a bottle of hemostatic potion from a position where Mona could not see and poured them into his stomach.


    Immediately afterwards, Luo An''s mind moved slightly and he turned on the "emotional perception" in his mind, and then two cold feelings of malice came from behind the stone.


    ??Although he could not see the other person while hiding behind the stone, Luo An, who clearly sensed the location of the two people opposite him through malicious perception, raised the corner of his mouth slightly:


    ��Sure enough, I knew that this emotion perception has other uses!��


    The plan of pretending to surrender and looking for an opportunity was cancelled, and he was ready to become a **** directly!


    At this time, one of the guys wearing a mask and with thick hair took the lead and slowly walked towards the side of the big stone with a gun in hand. He made a tactical gesture and his teammates nodded, and then he planned to move behind the stone with them. shot.


    At this moment, Luo An suddenly shouted:


    "Stone!"


    ?)


    The sudden shout startled the hairy guy. Luo An, who had discovered the opponent''s location through "emotional perception", rushed out suddenly and moved in front of him as fast as a ghost.


    ??The hairy guy was obviously very experienced in combat, and he pulled the trigger the moment he saw Luo An appear.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??But Luo An was faster than he thought, and Luo An, who had discovered the opponent''s position in advance, stretched out his hand to push the muzzle of the gun away, and his other hand had already followed closely to clamp the enemy''s neck.


    The hairy guy''s pupils suddenly shrank, and then he heard a familiar sound in his ears.


    Click!


    Rather than letting the enemy''s body fall down, he held it in front of him and at the same time raised the M4A1 he snatched from the opponent''s hand and turned towards the remaining enemy.


    On the other side, when she heard Luo An shouting, Mona threw a few stones in her hand towards the big stone without hesitation.


    The sudden appearance of shouts and a few stones also startled the guy wearing a mask, and also attracted his attention. On the other side, Luo An had already quickly killed his teammates.


    ��Shit!��


    ??The guy wearing the mask was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly turned the muzzle of the rifle in his hand from the big stone to Luo An.


    But unfortunately, Luo An was faster than him and pulled the trigger before him.


    This time Luo An did not follow the habit of shooting two guns in the chest and one in the head. Instead, he emptied the M4A1''s magazine with a cold look on his face.


    ?The gunfire ended quickly, and there was a masked corpse on the ground that the forensic doctor would scratch his head at.


    ��Luo An, you are too����


    ??????????????Mona, who didn''t see Luo An''s specific movements clearly, but saw the two corpses, covered her head and exclaimed.


    While her heart was racing and her eyes were red, the strong suspension bridge effect between life and death made other parts of Mona feel a little wet.


    ��Don��t move! Keep hiding behind the stone!��


    Before she could finish her words, Luo An shouted, picked up another M4A1 from the rotten meat on the ground, and continued running towards the car parked on the roadside.


    ??Seeing Luo An''s back running towards the distance like a hungry wolf, Mona''s expression changed, because they were hiding behind the rocks just now and didn''t see how many enemies were in the car!


    On the other side, Luo An did not panic at all, because when he turned on his emotional perception, he discovered that in addition to these two enemies, there was another enemy in the driver''s seat of the car.


    ?Just thinking about it briefly, Luo An has already guessed the general situation of the whole incident:


    ??This group of people chased the two guys driving the sports car with guns for some unknown reason. On the way, they happened to meet two young men who were hunting on the mountain road, so they chose to silence them without hesitation.


    It is not difficult for such well-trained people to kill two people, so they only left the last car, and for safety reasons, they also got out two people.


    ??But what they didn��t expect was that the men, who were ordinary junglers and men, suddenly turned into more terrifying guys than them and killed them.


    ??Luo An''s process of counter-killing the enemy is actually very fast, and it only takes a few seconds including emptying the magazine.


    ?This caused the guy in the black car to feel that he had just taken a nap, and found that he was the only one left in the original three-person team.


    ��MotherFu-ker?��


    ??Seeing Luo An snatching his teammate''s weapon and running towards him quickly with an M4A1, the driver''s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly pulled out a gun from the sole of his foot and opened fire wildly outside the passenger side.


    But the next second, the driver��s eyes were filled with shock and horror.


    Because when the driver lowered his head to look for the gun, Luo An''s body burst out with a terrifying force, his legs suddenly exploded with force, the wind roared in his ears, and his whole body moved like lightning to a place less than two meters away from the car. .


    By the time the driver opened fire outside the passenger side, Luo An had already moved to the side of the black car.


    ��Fu-k, what kind of monster is this!��


    ??The driver felt his scalp was numb. He gritted his teeth and quickly replaced the magazine with a new one, preparing to try to kill the opponent again, but the enemy was no longer in sight.


    ?The other party ran to you!


    ?At this time, the driver has realized that he has caused big trouble. His years of tactical knowledge have warned him that the best way to avoid an enemy that he cannot defeat is to avoid it. Therefore, the driver no longer hesitates, immediately drops the gun and prepares to drive away.


    It��s just an ordinary mission, not much money, no need to risk your life!


    Bang!


    ?The next second, the glass of the driver''s seat of the black car was suddenly shattered. A hand suddenly reached out from the outside and grabbed the driver''s chest.


    ��Shit!��


    ??The driver was frightened, and he hurriedly stepped on the accelerator, but a huge force suddenly burst out from his chest. The driver''s eyes widened, and he found that he had been dragged out of the car!


    ??Luo An pulled the driver out of the car and threw it heavily on the ground. Then he raised his foot and kicked the driver hard in the stomach, causing the driver to roll on the ground several times.


    Holding the stolen M4A1, Luo An slowly walked towards the driver who was holding his stomach and sweating coldly. Luo An''s eyes were red, the expression on his face was like ice, and his voice was extremely cold:


    ��TellMe, MotherFu-ker, WhoYouAre?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 272： Call the floor cleaning treatment site

    Chapter 272: Call to wash the floor...process the scene


    ??On a road in the mountains near Los Angeles, the Porsche was burning with flames. Luo An turned his back to the flames with a cold look on his face, holding the stolen M4A1 and staring closely at the driver in front of him.


    ?The middle-aged white male driver was furiously cursing in his heart at the temporary captain who asked his team to silence Luo An and Mona:


    They are just a young couple out to play in the wild. They have no intention of provoking us. Why should we provoke them?


    ??It''s okay now. Both teammates were killed by others, and I also had a gun on my head.


    ?Thinking of the scene where he was pulled out of the car by Luo An, the driver''s face turned red and white. If he was lucky enough to survive today, he would shoot the temporary captain no matter what in the rest of his life.


    ?Seeing the male driver��s expression changing, Luo An loaded the M4A1 bullet with a click and said directly:


    ��To say or not to say?��


    ��Say! I��ll say it!��


    ?The driver shouted hurriedly, holding his painful stomach:


    ��My name is Henry! I am a mercenary!��


    On the other side, Mona came over from behind the big rock, holding a pistol found on the enemy.


    ?Her face looked ugly at this time. In addition to the life-and-death crisis just now, another important reason was that the red dress she was wearing had a lot of cuts.


    This is my most expensive piece of clothing!


    ??Walking to the driver''s side, Mona raised her foot and kicked the driver''s back hard. She raised her pistol and asked sternly:


    ��Why attack us?��


    ��#%��@����


    Being kicked by a high-heeled shoe is not pleasant. The driver cursed the temporary team leader again in his heart, and replied with a twisted face:


    ��It was just an accident!��


    ??The reason explained by the driver was similar to what Luo An had guessed before. When the other party was chasing the sports car, they saw Luo An and Mona seeing this scene, so they planned to kill them.


    After listening to the driver��s explanation, Mona kicked the driver hard again.


    ?Luo An continued to ask:


    ��Who are those people in the sports car? Why are you chasing them?��


    "I have no idea."


    "Um?"


    ?Luo An pushed the rifle in his hand hard, and the driver hurriedly shouted:


    ��Sorry, I didn��t lie to you! I really don��t know!��


    The driver said that they were only a temporary team, and only the temporary team leader knew the specific details of the mission. They only knew what the face of the person they wanted to kill was like.


    ��Really cautious.��


    ??Luo An smiled disdainfully, ignored the driver''s plea for mercy, raised the **** of his gun and knocked him unconscious.


    ??Mona next to her became more and more angry when she saw the messy red dress on her body, and kicked the driver hard again.


    Turning around and seeing the still burning Porsche and the two corpses on the ground, Mona stretched out her hand and tore off a piece of cloth from her red skirt. She arranged her hair and asked:


    ��Luo An, what should we do next?��


    ��This is my new Porsche... This matter must not be left alone!��


    ? Luo An carried the M4A1 behind his back, saying that he had to get back the money to buy the car from this group of mercenaries or the guy driving the sports car, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well in the future.


    ??Took out his mobile phone and called the FBI in Los Angeles, asking them to send someone here to wash the floor...and deal with the scene. Then Luo An thought about it and called Lacey again.


    The call was quickly connected, and before Luo An could speak, Lacey��s exclamation came from the other end of the phone:


    "Luo An! The security here in Los Angeles is really bad! There are actually a group of people openly driving on the road at night, shooting and chasing others!" "...The security here is really not that good."


    Hearing the sound of police cars in the background of Lacey''s words, Luo An twitched the corner of his mouth, briefly described what he and Mona had just experienced, and finally said:


    ��Let��s work overtime temporarily, Lacey. Follow us right away and see what��s going on tonight.��


    "��All right."


    When Lacey learned that Roan and Mona were almost killed, she immediately accepted the order without any nonsense.


    After making an appointment with her female companion for the next meeting, Lacey got a brand new motorcycle from somewhere, put on her helmet and followed the sports car''s route quickly.


    ?At this time, alarm bells were ringing all over the west side of Los Angeles, and many roads were turned into a mess.


    ? It��s not a big deal to race a sports car at night, but it doesn��t make sense to be followed by a group of armed gangsters openly shooting and killing people, so a group of LAPD (Los Angeles Police) were dispatched to surround this group of lawless guys.


    ?Several of the higher-level LAPD officers also called the FBI, because if they saw correctly, the gangsters seemed to have rocket launchers in their hands.


    Standing on the mountain road, Luo An and Mona could vaguely see the messy firelight in the distance. They thought that the FBI from the Los Angeles branch would send someone soon, but it was not until forty minutes later that four FBI agents arrived. Too late.


    ?These four detectives are also acquaintances of Luo An and Mona, namely several detectives from the No. 2 Investigation Team.


    The leader among them is Agent Evie (Chapter 227)


    ??Mona was a little surprised when she saw that there were only four people coming, while Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and silently wrote down this account in his heart.


    You should know that although Luo An and the others have not officially started working at the FBI Los Angeles branch, their personnel and identity information have been transferred to the FBI Los Angeles branch''s internal system.


    ??Luo An''s identity is still the deputy director of the investigation team who holds the position of temporary team leader. A deputy leader of the investigation team was attacked, and the FBI actually sent so many people, and it took so long.


    What does this mean?


    ??This means that either someone in the FBI Los Angeles Division headquarters building said hello, or when the other end sent people here, these agents were stopped by others!


    "very good."


    Looking at the back of Mona who started to chat with Evie, Luo An slowly showed a warm smile on his face.


    Before this, he didn��t know who his enemies were, but as soon as this incident happens tonight, Luo An will know who his enemies are.


    On the other side, the four agents were a little surprised when they saw the scene here. Then Mona said that neither she nor Luo An had guns, but Luo An single-handedly killed three people. The four agents looked at Luo An. His eyes were immediately filled with shock.


    Agent Ewei of the No. 2 Investigation Team was also dumbfounded. She subconsciously turned her gaze to Luo An. When she saw Luo An waving to her with a smile on his face, there was a pile of rotten meat not far from his feet. Agent Ewei suddenly He shivered hard.


    From the previous bomb incident, Evie knew that Luo An was a ruthless person at heart, but seeing this scene now, Evie found that she still underestimated him.


    Several detectives began to deal with the scene silently, looking at Luo An with admiration.


    ??Luo An didn��t care. After the scene was almost cleaned up, he walked up to Agent Iwei and asked with a smile:


    ��Thank you for your hard work. By the way, why did the FBI Los Angeles branch send you here?��


    Scrubbing the floor... It is not the duty of the investigators of the investigation team to handle this kind of work at the scene.


    ��Well��actually it wasn��t the notice coming from the branch building, but the one asked by Team Leader Owen to come.��


    Evie tilted her head and thought for a moment, without hiding anything, and whispered:


    ��There was a little friction in downtown Los Angeles, and several investigation teams went there to check on the situation.


    When the branch building issued a notice that you needed manpower to handle the scene, the leader of the No. 4 investigation team said that urban Los Angeles needed more manpower, so he put your situation behind. "


    ��Oh, the leader of investigation team No. 4.��


    Hearing this, Luo An��s smile became brighter:


    ��Evie, can you tell me the name of the leader of Investigation Team No. 4?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 273： Luo An: Lacey, you came at the right time.

    Chapter 273 Luo An: Lacey, you came at the right time


    ��Morton-York.��


    Seeing the smile on Luo An''s face, Agent Ivie suddenly thought of the minced meat, and subconsciously took a step back and replied:


    ��Investigation Team 4 has the highest case detection rate. Team leader Morton York has worked in the FBI��s Los Angeles branch for a long time and has very senior qualifications.��


    ?? A flash of understanding flashed in Luo An''s eyes. His seniority was very high, which meant that he knew a lot of people in the FBI''s Los Angeles branch, so it was not difficult to set a small obstacle for himself.


    ��Thank you, Evie.��


    "You''re welcome."


    The two agents Evie drove the two bodies, and the other two agents drove the black and gray Porsche. Luo An and Mona escorted the driver and drove into the black car with a missing window. car.


    During this period, Luo An and his wife returned to the hotel where they lived and changed their clothes alternately.


    ?While sitting in the car waiting for Mona and the guard driver, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.


    Pressing the answer button, Luo An asked:


    ��Lacie, how is the situation over there? Are you injured?��


    ��Don��t worry, I��m fine.��


    Lacey on the other end of the phone sounded a little gloating, saying that she had just watched an immersive movie on the streets of Los Angeles:


    ? ? Under the brightly lit streets of Los Angeles, a silver-gray sports car was speeding from left to right amid a hail of bullets. Several black cars behind it were chasing after them with guns drawn and open fire. Behind the black car was a group of LAPD police cars with harsh sounds.


    As time went by, the distance between the silver-gray sports car and the black car became closer and closer. Just when everyone thought that the two people in the sports car were going to die on the spot, several new cars suddenly appeared on the road.


    ?This new group of guys inserted themselves directly between black cars and sports cars, and violently collided and exchanged fire with several black cars. The situation on the streets of Los Angeles suddenly became more chaotic.


    ? LAPD and the FBI quickly evaded to avoid being accidentally injured and called SWAT for support.


    The chaos didn''t last long. The new forces'' firepower became more intense. Four of the five black cars were quickly defeated, and only one found that something was wrong and ran away quickly.


    ?After the black car ran away, the newly emerged forces quickly fell into pieces and disappeared.


    When the LAPD and FBI finally entered the battlefield, they were left with only a few grotesque cars and a lot of corpses.


    Speaking of this, Lacey was amazed:


    ��Luo An, these waves of people are obviously not ordinary people. The leader of the investigation team headed by the FBI immediately sent SWAT team members to completely surround the nearby area, but judging from his face, it seems that no one was caught.��


    Luo An raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked:


    ��Where��s the sports car?��


    ��The sports car also disappeared.��


    ?? Lacey stood on the side of the road, looking at the angry-faced FBI investigation team leader not far away and smiled, then turned around and left and whispered:


    ��But I took advantage of the chaos to take a few photos of the two people in the sports car. Although the picture quality is not very clear, I can barely see their faces clearly.��


    ��Well done, Lacey!��


    ??Roan asked Lacey to rush to the FBI headquarters in Los Angeles. He wanted to see who made his newly purchased Porsche turn into a fireball.


    The other party must pay this money!


    ����


    The FBI Los Angeles Division Headquarters is located in West Los Angeles. It is a square building with a solemn appearance.


    Across the street to the southwest of the building is a veterans'' hospital, and not far to the east is a museum. It''s less than twenty minutes'' drive from Beverly Hills, and only thirty minutes from Hollywood.


    ?Handing the key to the exclusive office area of ??the Special Investigation Team that was given to them by Potente Byrne, the former team leader, Luo An and Mona escorted the driver and took the elevator into the 11th floor of the branch building.


    Then I saw a large office area at the end of the corridor that was spacious and bright, with a wide view and plenty of moonlight...but it was dusty, had only a few broken tables and chairs, and did not have any professional equipment.


    ����


    At the door of the office area, Mona, holding a notebook in her arms, was silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at Luo An.


    ?Luo An felt a bit toothache. He didn''t have any ideas when he didn''t care about money before. Now that he has the funds for handling the case in his hand, Luo An suddenly understood how Augustus felt at the time. Thinking of August, Luo An thought of the brand-new equipment of the No. 5 Investigation Team... He really wanted to get them all here.


    ?Several thoughts flashed through his mind. Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and grabbed the driver in Mona''s hand, and then said to Mona with a smile:


    ��Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will get better later.��


    ��Hopefully.��


    ?? He opened the iron door where the prisoners were temporarily held and threw the driver in, selectively ignoring the driver''s protest about the dust everywhere. Luo An shook the interrogation record in his hand. Seeing Mona getting water and preparing to clean the room, Luo An hurriedly said:


    ��Mona, there is no need to clean up the office area.��


    ?This office area is very large, and there are a lot of debris, garbage, etc. It will definitely take a long time for Luo An and Mona alone.


    ?Mona was a little confused:


    ��If we don��t clean up the office area, how will we handle the case next?��


    ��One team leader��s office is enough. Anyway, we only have three people now.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, took the tool from Mona''s hand, pushed open the door of the team leader''s office and walked in.


    Then the two found that the team leader��s office was cleaner.


    There are at least some shabby desks in the office area outside, but there is nothing visible in the team leader''s office. Apart from dust, there is only dust, and dust.


    ???The expression on Luo An''s face remained unchanged, he picked up the tools and started cleaning the team leader''s office. Mona, who was following him, sighed, also picked up the tools and started cleaning, and asked:


    ��So, when we come to Los Angeles, we have to buy our own desk?��


    ��No.��


    Luo An looked through the window at the black car he drove just now and said with a smile:


    ��Someone will give us a desk. Maybe we don��t have to buy a computer or anything.��


    ?)


    ?Mona turned back in confusion, and just as she was about to ask, Lacey''s voice suddenly came from outside:


    "Roan! Mona! Did I go to the wrong place? Or did I come at the wrong time? What''s going on here?"


    ��No, you came just in time.��


    ? Luo An opened the door to the team leader''s office, saw Lacey''s eyes lit up, and asked hurriedly:


    ��Thank you for your hard work tonight, Lacey, where are the photos?��


    ��I made a date tonight, and you have to pay me a special Mexican chicken taco tomorrow.��


    ??Lacie took out her cell phone from her pocket and handed it to Luo An. There were more than a dozen photos in it. The picture quality was indeed not very clear, but she could barely see the faces of the two people in the sports car.


    ��Mona, the rest is up to you!��


    ?Handing the phone to Mona, Luo An asked her to try to check the identities of the two people, and then put the office cleaning tools in her hands into Lacey''s hand.


    Lacie:? ? ?


    Seeing the expression on Lacey''s face, Luo An grinned:


    ��I��ll leave the hygiene in the team leader��s office to you. I��ll go out to do some errands and I��ll be back soon.��


    After saying that, without waiting for Lacey to answer, Luo An quickly left here with the interrogation record.


    Seeing Luo An disappear in an instant, Lacey''s lips twitched, and she turned her gaze to Mona. She found that Mona raised the laptop in her hand, and handed another cleaning tool to her, with a nice look on her face. smile:


    "come on!"


    ����


    Lacey looked at the tools in her hands and raised her head speechlessly:


    The rest of your life will not fall into the hands of this couple!


    ?Just as Lacey started cleaning up in the team leader''s office, several SUVs slowly drove into the parking lot.


    A white man led by him got out of the car. When he saw the black car in the parking lot that was the same model as the one on the streets of Los Angeles, he frowned and turned around and asked sternly:


    ��What��s going on with this car?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 274： Investigation Team No. 4 started robbing people

    Chapter 274: Investigation Team No. 4 starts robbing people


    The parking lot under the FBI Los Angeles branch building.


    ??A group of people followed behind him. The middle-aged white man with a serious face was the leader of the No. 4 investigation team, Morton York.


    ??When Luo An reported it before, he didn''t go into too much detail. He only said that he and Mona encountered an attack and the scene needed to be dealt with.


    ??So Morton York, the leader of Investigation Team No. 4, only knew about the difficulties Luo An and the others encountered, but he did not know that the people who caused them to fall into crisis were the same group of people who chased and killed others through racing on the streets of Los Angeles.


    ?When a gunfight broke out on the streets of Los Angeles, Morton-York had already contacted SWAT and LAPD to conduct a comprehensive containment of the nearby area.


    But unfortunately, after the gun battle, they didn''t catch anyone and only harvested a lot of corpses.


    Morton-York has sent people to investigate the identities of these corpses, but after all, the dead are not as good as the living. After learning in the parking lot that Roan and Mona captured an accomplice in a street shooting alive, Morton-York made a big move. With a wave of his hand, he led everyone into the elevator:


    ��Go to the Special Investigations Unit!��


    At the end of the 11th floor of the branch building, in the team leader''s office, Lacey was cleaning the room with tools, with a few drops of sweat on her forehead and a few black marks on her face from dust.


    Mona next to her was also cleaning up with her with tools. The two photos Lacey took were from a good angle, and she had finished investigating those two people.


    ?The team leader��s office is not big, and there is not much garbage in the room. The two of them quickly cleaned it up.


    ��What did Luo An do? Why hasn��t he come back yet?��


    ??While walking out with the tools, Mona murmured something in a low voice, then turned around and asked:


    ��Lessie, have you rented the house you will live in for the next few months? Do you need any help?��


    ��I��ve got it all done!��


    Lacie rubbed the dark marks on her face with her hands, the expression on her face was very proud.


    She said that she rented a large house not far from here. The landlord was a woman and a small-time Hollywood actor.


    ??The landlord had a nice motorcycle, but he stopped riding it for a long time due to work, so it took Lacey two hours to successfully convince the landlord to lend him the motorcycle.


    ??And the other party also came with a very handsome black and red motorcycle suit.


    ��Two hours?


    ??Mona was a little speechless, but she was not interested in the details. After Lacey showed off proudly, she asked in a low voice:


    ��So, you and Luo An are living together again this time?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Mona then explained:


    ��This time it��s a shared apartment. Luo An and I each have a room.��


    ?Lacie raised her eyebrows when she heard this:


    ��Appropriately maintain some freshness?��


    ��That��s right!��


    ?Mona nodded and said that men like the new and hate the old, so leaving a little distance and private space will help maintain the emotional balance between the two.


    ??Lacie, a guy who is T most of the time, took on his role, and then nodded with deep understanding:


    ��You��re right, if it��s too familiar it will soon become boring.��


    Mona: ������


    The two women quickly began to whisper, but not long after, the door to the office area was suddenly pushed open, and a group of men in suits walked in.


    ??Lacie subconsciously put her hand to the pistol at her waist and asked loudly:


    ��Who are you?��


    ��This is the newly established special investigation team.��


    ?Morton York looked around the dirty and messy environment with an expressionless expression. The faces of the several agents behind him showed a bit of disdain. Lacey and Mona frowned as they watched. ��I am Morton-York, the leader of Investigation Team No. 4.��


    After explaining his identity in a stiff tone, Morton-York said directly:


    "Thank you for catching the driver. I will report the matter to you later."


    After saying that, Morton-York waved his hand, and four detectives immediately walked out from behind him and strode towards the room where the driver was temporarily detained.


    "damn it!"


    ��Fu-k!��


    ?? Lacey and Mona''s expressions changed immediately when they saw each other''s actions, and they immediately rushed to the four of them and raised their hands to stop each other.


    ?Seeing that the other party was trying to rush in regardless of the two of them, Lacey immediately cursed loudly, while Mona took out a pistol from her waist with eyes full of anger:


    ��Everyone, stop!��


    ??This driver not only represents Mona��s red dress and Roan��s Porsche, but also represents the face of their special investigation team.


    ??If this was robbed in front of you, you don��t have to think about how the people in this building will look at the Special Investigation Team tomorrow!


    ?Morton-York saw Mona''s movements and his eyebrows slightly moved but his expression remained unchanged. The four agents who were about to rob someone were startled at first, but they were relieved when they saw that their team leader was calm and composed.


    The leader of the group chuckled:


    ��Ladies, stop making trouble. Since you haven��t finished cleaning the house yet, we will take care of this person for you. You��re welcome!��


    ��I thank you#%*����


    Hearing this, Lacey immediately cursed and took out a pistol from her waist.


    ��What, you really dare to shoot?��


    The smile on the leader''s face became even bigger, and he reached out to drop the pistols in Lacey and Mona''s hands.


    ?Mona and Lacey''s expressions changed. They really didn''t dare to shoot, but they couldn''t fight against the four people opposite them without shooting.


    Just as Mona gritted her teeth and prepared to take a leave of absence until her father came to Los Angeles, a very disdainful voice suddenly came from behind the crowd:


    ��It turns out that Investigation Team No. 4��s number one case detection rate was obtained by bullying other investigation teams and stealing people from other investigation teams!


    I finally understand what it means to fight internally but not outside! "


    Hearing this voice, the ugly expressions on Mona and Lacey''s faces immediately disappeared, and they breathed a long sigh of relief.


    ?Morton York, the leader of Investigation Team No. 4, changed his expression slightly. He turned around and found that the person speaking was a very young man with a very handsome face.


    The visitor is none other than Luo An.


    "you��"


    As soon as Morton-York said a word, Luo An, who had just entered the office area and closed the door, raised his foot and kicked the knee of the guy closest to him hard in the hip area.


    The agent knelt on the ground before he could react. Luo An took the guy''s arm and hit the other person''s abdomen hard, and then the whole person was like a ghost, killing Morton in three strokes. All five agents behind York fell to the ground.


    Not only that, Luo An also took off the pistols on them and threw most of them far away, leaving one on the head of the agent who had just spoken rudely to Lacey and Mona, and asked with a smile. road:


    ��Come on, guess now whether I dare to shoot?��


    The five agents lying on the ground looked at Luo An with shock in their eyes. Seeing Luo An defeat his teammates so easily and freely, the leading agent looked horrified, and Morton York also looked moved. color.


    ?Morton-York had indeed heard that Luo An, the deputy team leader, was very skilled, but he didn��t expect his movements to be so sharp!


    ??Glancing at his men on the ground, Morton-York said in a deep voice:


    ��Roan Greenwood, you...��


    Before Morton-York finished speaking, Luo An raised his pistol and knocked **** the head of the leading agent, and asked loudly:


    ��I��m asking you something! Did you hear it?


    Guess whether I dare to shoot!


    answer me! ! "


    ??Seeing the cold light in Luo An''s eyes who was so close, the leading agent''s mouth trembled and his face trembled, while Morton York''s face darkened instantly.


    Luo An was not asking the leading detective. He was clearly asking him!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 275： Luo An: Just ask if you have any requests, I promise not to

    Chapter 275 Luo An: If you have any requests, just ask, I promise not to agree.


    ??The office area of ??the Special Investigation Team was extremely quiet at this time, and everyone''s eyes were turned to Luo An, who was holding a gun, and the leading agent who had a gun pressed against his head.


    ?Morton-York, leader of the No. 4 Investigation Team, said with a dark face:


    ��Roan Greenwood, you...��


    As soon as the other party spoke again, Luo An interrupted him again and asked the leading detective again:


    "answer my question!"


    ?Morton York twitched the corner of his mouth: "Roan Greenwood! You..."


    ? Luo An continued to ask the leading detective:


    "answer my question!"


    ����


    ??After repeating it several times, Morton-York''s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. The fool also understood what the current situation was, so the leading agent swallowed and said hurriedly:


    ��You can��t shoot!��


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    "you sure?"


    The leading agent��s calves were shaking:


    "��I am sure!"


    ??Luo An just stared into the eyes of the leading detective quietly. The agents of Investigation Team No. 4 watched this scene with fear. Lacey and Mona held their hands together, trying to persuade Luo An not to dare to speak now.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and finally Morton-York could no longer hold his breath and said:


    ��Roan Greenwood, you...��


    As soon as Morton York opened his mouth, Luo An interrupted him with a grin, put away his pistol, and patted the leading agent on the shoulder:


    ��Just kidding, of course I can��t shoot, we are all FBI, how could I shoot my colleagues? Right?��


    ?Morton-York''s face turned from black to dark purple.


    on purpose! This Roan Greenwood did it on purpose!


    ?Feeling the pistol above his head disappear, and hearing Luo An''s words, the leading detective immediately breathed a sigh of relief.


    Opening his mouth, the lead agent was about to speak when Luo An grabbed his arm and pulled him under his body, then kicked him hard to the ground.


    After the facial features were in close contact with the ground, the leading agent was about to burst into tears. Luo An ignored him at all and smoothly lowered the other three agents to the ground. He turned around and stretched out his hand towards Morton York. Got the hand:


    ��Hello, Captain Morton-York, I��ve heard of you for a long time. I wonder why you came to our special investigation team today?


    If you need any help, just ask! I promise not to agree to anything! "


    Hearing Luo An''s words, Lacey couldn''t help but burst into laughter, and then hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth.


    ??Mona glanced at Luo An in a funny way, and suddenly realized that she really liked Luo An''s naughty look.


    ?Morton York''s face suddenly changed from dark purple to... a normal color when he heard Luo An''s words, because he took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.


    "Roan Greenwood, a well-known name."


    ??Stretched out his hand and shook it with Luo An, Morton York said in a low voice:


    ��You beat up the agents of my No. 4 Investigation Team like this, aren��t you afraid that your superiors will punish you afterwards?��


    ��Beating? What beating?��


    ?Luo An spread his hands, his face full of doubts:


    "Why did not I see?"


    ??Everyone saw what Luo An did just now. Morton York''s eyes widened and he didn''t understand how Luo An dared to tell lies with his eyes open.


    But just as he was about to ask the question, he suddenly discovered something:


    That is because no investigation team has been stationed in this office area, so there is no surveillance installed at all.


    Not only that, if you turn around to report the nine agents under your command, and are knocked to the ground by one of them...


    ?Then Morton-York''s No. 4 Investigation Team is famous in this building.


    ??Thinking again of how Luo An deliberately closed the door when he entered the office area before... Morton-York looked at Luo An in front of him and laughed angrily:


    "Roan Greenwood, you are very good, I still underestimated you before."


    ��No, I underestimated you before, Captain Morton-York.��


    Luo An said that when he was in New York before, he had never seen an incident where investigation teams went to other investigation teams to rob people. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to Los Angeles, Patriarch Morton-York opened his eyes to a new world.


    "snort!"


    ?Morton York snorted coldly, looked at Luo An and the other three carefully, turned around and was about to leave with his men. At this moment, Luo An suddenly spoke and stopped the other party:


    ��Wait a minute! Captain Morton-York!��


    ?Morton-York turned his head, his eyes full of anger:


    ��What else do you want?��


    "How can you say this from a man like you?"


    Roan seemed not to see the anger in Morton-York''s eyes. He smiled and stretched out his hand to hug the other person''s shoulder...


    Didn��t get it!


    ?Morton-York took a step back to avoid Roan''s arm.


    ?Luo An didn��t care and continued:


    ��I know you want that driver, I can give that guy to you, it��s useless for us to keep him anyway.��


    Lacey next to her immediately tightened her face when she heard this and was about to speak, but Mona hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold her back.


    ?Mona knows Luo An better. He never trades at a loss.


    ?Morton-York narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a few seconds, then turned to look at Luo An, and asked:


    "what do you want?"


    ?Morton York has now seen that the Roan Greenwood in front of him is a little fox, and he is ruthless, shameless and shameless.


    ?Morton-York thought back on the people he had met over the years and found that Luo An was one of the best among so many people. He was obviously a person who could do great things.


    After all, those successful bosses and bosses have nothing to be ashamed of.


    How could such a little fox do such a thankless thing? Morton-York immediately guessed what Luo An was thinking as he glanced at the office area, which contained nothing but dust and broken tables and chairs.


    As expected, Luo An replied:


    ��I lack everything in this office area. I need a driver, ten desks, ten computers, and you can clean up the garbage in the office area for us.��


    ��You just beat up one of my detectives, and now you actually want to ask for so many things from me?��


    ?Morton-York was laughed out of anger again:


    ��Just a driver, not worth this!��


    ��Hey, this is the only one of the gang who survived the shootout on the streets of Los Angeles!��


    ?Luo An spread his hands, with an expression on his face as if you have made a lot of money:


    ��If you rely on this guy to catch that group of enemies and solve this case, your No. 4 Investigation Team will make a lot of money!


    You have gained nothing today. If the major media in Los Angeles come to inquire tomorrow, what will you say? "


    ��Media?��


    Luo An nodded:


    ��Of course, maybe this news will leak out accidentally from me!��


    ����


    Seeing the obvious expression on Luo An''s face, Morton York suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth.


    ??Thinking that this case was such a big deal and senior officials from various departments would definitely come to inquire tomorrow, Morton-York pondered for a few seconds and chose to suffer the loss for the time being:


    ��Four desks, four computers.��


    ��Nine desks! Nine computers!��


    The two haggled for a while, and finally agreed on six desks and six computers. The agents of the No. 4 Investigation Team helped clean up the office area. When the things were in place, Luo An would hand over the people to each other.


    ?Morton-York has worked in the Los Angeles branch for many years and has a solid foundation in Investigation Team No. 4. In just a few hours, he got these things for Luo An and the others, and the office area was also tidied up.


    ��Goodbye, come back often!��


    ??Luo An stood at the door of the office area waving a handkerchief, and the leading detective escorting the driver felt very painful.


    In the brand-new office area, Mona looked at Luo An and laughed, while Lacey frowned slightly:


    ��Luo An, hand over the driver to the other party, shall we ignore this case from now on?��


    "How can it be."


    ??Luo An stretched his waist, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Lacey, grinning and saying:


    ��People are not important, clues are the most important!��


    Lacie took the paper and started to look at it. Roan turned to look at Mona:


    ��Who are the two people driving the sports car?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 276： Kill two birds with one stone Luo An and the world-famous hacker

    Chapter 276: Killing two birds with one stone, Luo An and the world-famous hacker


    Deep inside the 11th floor of the FBI Los Angeles branch building, there is the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    ?The original dilapidated tables, chairs and benches have disappeared, replaced by six brand-new desks and six computers.


    ??Although there is still a little dust in the corners of the office area, the overall look is brand new.


    Taking the paper handed to her by Luo An, Lacey looked down with confusion and found that it was a case report certificate.


    ?As far as the FBI''s internal rules are concerned, as long as the investigation team submits case reports or interrogation records, witness statements and other information, the case procedurally belongs to the investigation team.


    In other words, after Luo An reported the case report and interrogation records in which he and Mona were attacked by mercenaries and accomplices as FBI agents, the criminal driver was procedurally a member of their "Special Investigation Team" Prisoner.


    ??As for the case of the driver''s accomplices in the future, their "Special Investigation Team" will also have the power to investigate. After all, the three drivers followed the orders of the accomplice captain to kill Luo An and Mona.


    So, Investigation Team No. 4 did take the driver away, but Luo An and the others did not lose anything:


    ??The follow-up investigation rights of the case are still in their hands. They have finished interrogating the driver and have all the clues and confessions.


    The three of them don��t need to leave anyone in the office area tonight to guard the driver.


    Finally, Luo An also exchanged this driver for a bunch of equipment and facilities in the office area...


    ?Thinking about Luo An''s stupid operation in her mind, Lacey''s eyes widened and she was dumbfounded. She looked at Luo An''s back with a face full of disbelief.


    ? Sensing Lacey''s astonishment, Luo An turned around and showed a warm smile, and then found that Lacey took several steps back as if she had seen a savage beast.


    ? Luo An was a little confused:


    ��What are you doing? I didn��t do anything to you?��


    "hehe��"


    After reacting, Lacey smiled awkwardly, and silently put ten exclamation marks on Luo An''s head:


    ?Although she has some tricks, she is obviously not as good as Luo An. Lacey is now a little afraid that she will be sold by Luo An, and she happily counts the money for him...


    ??Luo An didn''t understand the awkward smile on Lacey''s face, and he had no interest in lesbians. He was just about to say something to ask, when Mona over there finally opened her laptop and said:


    ��Of the two people in the sports car, I can only find specific information about one of them.��


    "oh?"


    ?Hearing Mona speak, Luo An decisively put the matter of Lacey aside, walked over quickly and asked:


    "which one?"


    ��It��s the young white man sitting in the passenger seat.��


    ??Mona tapped on the keyboard with her ten fingers and displayed a piece of identity information of the character on the computer:


    ��Esodo Zarek Dujak, 29 years old, is one of the world��s most well-known hackers. He is wanted by governments in 9 countries around the world for 26 computer crimes.


    But he is Polish and holds a Polish passport. Polish law does not recognize these computer crimes, so he has been living a good life these years. "


    ??Seeing that in the FBI''s internal information database, it was specifically marked in red letters that this guy was prohibited from entering the Federation, Luo An raised his eyebrows:


    ��Wow, he is a high-tech talent.��


    It is not something that ordinary people can do to get the federal government to issue such an order.


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Mona said with a serious face that her level of computer technology may not be as good as her opponent.


    When Lacey next to her heard this, her eyes suddenly changed:


    ��This kind of person actually entered the Federation this time? And was chased by a group of people with guns? What on earth did he do?��


    ?Mona spread her hands:


    ��I don��t know, but it��s definitely related to the computer or the Internet. It��s just that I can��t find the other party��s location at this time, and neither the computer nor surveillance can do it.��


    Lacie sat down on the chair:


    ��How did such a person enter the Federation?��


    "You can call the federal customs office and ask them to work overtime tonight...although it''s probably useless." Luo An stretched his waist. Although he didn''t know what Esaudo wanted to do when he entered the federation this time, He knew that the person who could allow this guy to dare to enter the Federation and bring him into the Federation must be a rich man.


    After all, the people in the Customs and Immigration Bureau are not vegetarians. They will only become blind suddenly when facing rich people.


    Lacey thought for a while, pointed at the middle-aged white male driver with a slicked back hair who was driving the sports car, and continued to ask:


    ��This driver��s driving skills are very good. What��s going on with him?��


    ??A guy who can drive a car calmly in a hail of bullets without changing his expression is definitely not an ordinary person.


    ��Sorry, I can��t find anything here.��


    ?Speaking of this driver, Mona frowned and said that she had searched the FBI''s internal database, the CIA''s external database, and the NSA''s database, but could not find any information.


    ��It seems like this should be a big event.��


    ??Luo An crossed his arms over his chest, looking at the big figure on the computer with his eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking about.


    ??Lacie looked at Mona''s computer in silence for a long time, then turned to look at Luo An:


    ��Luo An, what should we do next?��


    Hearing this, Mona also turned her attention to Luo An.


    Luo An clapped his hands and said with a smile:


    ��Don��t do anything next, let��s go back to sleep!��


    ������x2


    ??It was already after nine o''clock when Mona and I went out to play in the wild after dinner. Later, we killed the enemy again, and returned to the investigation team to have a passionate exchange with the No. 4 investigation team. Now it was already early in the morning, and it was time to go back and rest.


    ??After simply cleaning up, Luo An and Mona closed the door of the investigation team, left here and went back to sleep, while Lacey drove her motorcycle straight into the distance.


    She had a date that she hadn''t finished yet, so she might be able to catch up with the second half if she goes back now.


    On the other side, unlike the Luo An trio who were relaxed and ready to rest, the office area of ??Investigation Team No. 4 was brightly lit at this time.


    ??The group of guys who were fighting with guns is still being hunted in urban Los Angeles, and the agents of the No. 4 Investigation Team are updating information in real time.


    ?At the same time, several detectives were sitting in the interrogation room, interrogating the driver they had exchanged for a desk, chair, bench and computer.


    Two hours passed again, and several groups of people in downtown Los Angeles finally found the retreat route of the two groups, but these people were still not found.


    ?Morton York, the leader of Investigation Team No. 4, looked down at his watch after hearing this, and his face suddenly became very ugly.


    At this moment, the leading detective came over with another document and whispered the news that Luo An had submitted the case report before their No. 4 investigation team.


    After saying this, the leading detective was very upset and swallowed silently, thinking that the team leader Morton York would curse again.


    But what the leading detective didn��t expect was that after hearing the news, the team leader Morton York was silent for a few seconds, took the folder, and then raised the corner of his mouth and smiled:


    ��He is indeed a little fox!��


    ?Today''s young people are either thin-skinned or inexperienced, or they don''t know what''s going on when someone praises them a few times, and give up their actual interests for the sake of face.


    ??If you put aside their respective departures, Morton York, who is in his forties this year, actually admires young people like Roan Greenwood very much.


    But unfortunately, Luo An is the deputy leader of the special investigation team. He is the leader of the No. 4 investigation team and cannot put aside his position.


    ��Let��s order some burgers and coffee for everyone. Let��s work hard tonight. I��ll give everyone a few days off afterwards.��


    Taking out a few dollars from his pocket and handing them to the leading detective, Morton-York drew a pie loudly.


    ??The leading detective turned and left, and the detectives of Investigation Team No. 4 continued to work with their heads down. Morton-York thought that this case would be busy for a long time.


    ??But what he didn��t expect was that just a few hours later, this group of guys showing off their marksmanship on the streets of Los Angeles would appear again and do another big thing!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 277： Bombings? Bank robbery!

    Chapter 277 Explosion? Bank robbery!


    It was past twelve o''clock the next day, and Luo An and Mona walked out of the apartment they rented.


    In the past, when they were in Investigation Team No. 5, they had to abide by the working hours in the morning...at least they couldn''t arrive later than August.


    ?? But now Luo An is the deputy leader of the special investigation team, and there are only three people in the investigation team... so Luo An decisively chooses to play a small favoritism, and he has the final say when to go to work.


    ?Sitting in Mona��s second-hand car, which cost less than five thousand dollars, Luo An thought about his own Porsche.


    ?His face was slightly distorted, and he felt his heart bleeding.


    Taking a big bite of the breakfast...lunch in his hand, Luo An, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, said fiercely:


    ��I have to catch these guys, they have to pay for this money!��


    Seeing Luo An acting like he was biting someone while eating, Mona, who was driving, rolled her eyes.


    ?But she understood Luo An��s mentality at this time, because Mona also wanted those guys to pay for her red dress.


    ??The red light came on, Mona stepped on the brakes and parked the car, and Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.


    ��It��s me, Lacey.��


    ??The roar of a motorcycle came from the other end of the phone:


    ��How long will it take you to get to the branch building? Where is the key?��


    ��Stop talking on the phone while riding a motorcycle and be careful, okay?��


    ?Luo An complained casually and turned to look at Mona. Mona tilted her head to think about it and raised three fingers.


    ?Three minutes more.


    ??Luo An nodded, and just as he was about to answer Lacey''s question, there was a sudden loud noise in the distance!


    Boom! !


    Mona''s raised **** suddenly trembled with fright, and the pedestrians on the road were even more frightened. Some squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, some screamed and ran away, and the street suddenly became frightened. It was a chaotic mess, and everyone was frightened out of their wits.


    "Bombings?!"


    ?Luo An, who was in the passenger seat, was holding the food firmly with his left hand and his mobile phone with his right hand, with a rather solemn expression.


    Because if he remembered correctly, there seemed to be a bank in the direction where the explosion sound came from!


    ??And it��s the ��Commonwealth Bank��!


    ����


    The time goes back two minutes.


    ??On the streets of Los Angeles, a group of young men and women were walking leisurely on the street, chatting and shopping. Suddenly, on the road next to them, several pure black off-road vehicles and a modified school bus appeared.


    These cars formed a convoy and drove forward. Although the modified school bus looked a bit out of place, this was Los Angeles not far from Hollywood. Everyone��s first reaction was that this should be a film crew preparing to film a movie.


    ?So a group of passers-by watched the convoy moving forward with great interest. Then the convoy passed through an intersection. The off-road vehicle at the front suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the "Federal Bank" on the side of the road.


    Boom!


    The first off-road vehicle easily smashed the glass outside the bank and broke into the bank lobby. The second and third off-road vehicles followed closely and broke into the lobby from the other two directions. The two drivers in the car quickly turned the steering wheel. The two off-road vehicles were blocked at the original location of the glass wall.


    ??The modified school bus at the end of the queue increased its accelerator and knocked aside several passerby''s cars parked on the road outside the bank. Then the driver blocked the bus in front of the bank.


    ?Everyone on the street immediately screamed and ran away when they saw this scene. Customers and employees in the bank hall reacted and immediately screamed to avoid the car. Upon seeing this, the bank manager immediately pressed the alarm button under the table.


    After the second and third off-road vehicles parked, four guys wearing suits and black balaclavas with rifles quickly jumped out and fired into the air.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?While firing, they shouted at customers and bank employees:


    ��Back off! Back off!��


    ��Put your hands on your head, everyone!��


    "Did you hear me!"


    Customers and employees did not dare to resist and sat together following the robbers'' instructions. One of the robbers took out a large box from the back of an off-road vehicle and walked towards the group of people. After the first off-road vehicle broke into the bank, three guys with black hoods immediately jumped out of the car and walked towards the manager''s office. They kicked open the door and the leading guy raised a gun and put it on the manager''s head:


    ��Give me the key! Don��t let me say it a second time!��


    The street where the "Commonwealth Bank" is located is a wealthy street in downtown Los Angeles. There are many LAPD patrol officers. When they saw an accident at a bank in the distance, several LAPD police cars immediately drove towards the bank.


    ??The school bus driver wearing a black hood outside the bank saw this scene, sneered, took out a black backpack from behind and threw it at the nearest police car.


    ��Avoid! Avoid!��


    ??The LAPD in the police car reacted very quickly. The moment they saw the black backpack, they immediately twisted the steering wheel crazily, but the black backpack that fell to the ground exploded the next second!


    Boom! !


    A deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and the police car was immediately blown to the ground and burst into flames. The glass of the surrounding shops was instantly shattered into pieces by the shock wave generated by the explosion.


    ??What Luo An and Mona heard in the distance was this explosion.


    ����


    ��Fu-k! Bombing?!��


    ?Mona put away her fingers, took a deep breath, and cursed fragrantly.


    ?Just now there was a loud noise outside the car, which shook the windows of the second-hand car and really startled her.


    ��No, I��m afraid it��s a bank robbery.��


    ?Luo An raised the cell phone in his right hand and said quickly:


    ��Lacie, don��t go to the branch building...��


    "I know, I heard an explosion from my side too, I''m not far from there!"


    Lacey was also startled by the sudden explosion. After hearing Luo An''s words, she immediately squeezed the clutch and shifted to a higher gear:


    ��I��ll be at the explosion site right away!��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An turned off his cell phone, finished the breakfast in his left hand in a few mouthfuls, opened the door and ran out of Mona''s car.


    ?This place is not too far from the location where the explosion occurred, but there was a traffic jam ahead due to the sudden explosion, so it was better to run. He was always running very fast anyway.


    ��Mona, I��m going to check the situation first, please drive carefully!��


    When Luo An opened the door and got out of the car, he put one hand in his pocket. The black pistol handle was exposed at the corner of his clothes, and there were several pistol magazines hidden in his lower waist.


    ��You must be careful!��


    ??Luo An closed the car door and stepped on the ground hard, and ran out in the direction of the explosion like a cheetah.


    The reason why Luo An went to the crime scene is very simple. Such a big case will definitely attract the attention of all parties. Whether it is the top brass of the LAPD, the FBI Los Angeles branch, or the Los Angeles government, they will definitely turn their attention here.


    ?As the deputy leader of the "Special Investigation Team" who has just arrived in the Los Angeles branch, this is obviously a moment to show his face in front of senior officials and show his prestige in front of subordinates.


    ??As the newly appointed deputy leader of the "Special Investigation Team" transferred from New York, he needs to shock the agents of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch with a case.


    ?Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Another important reason is that the moment the explosion sounded, Luo An had an intuition in his heart:


    ??The group of guys in front are most likely the same people who destroyed his Porsche!


    ??Thinking of his Porsche, which had not been driven for a day and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, Luo An''s eyes flashed with anger, and his running speed became a little faster in the eyes of passers-by who were shocked and horrified!


    ?On the other side, Investigation Team No. 4, who had stayed up all night, had no intention of getting involved in this case.


    ??But after learning from the LAPD that the number of robbers in this group was exactly the same as the second wave of forces that emerged last night, team leader Morton York immediately got up and took several off-duty detectives to the scene to check the situation.


    ?At the same time, inside the bank, a group of hostages turned pale with fright, because there were more than a dozen bombs in the big box!

 Chapter 278： The scene and the robber’s demands

    Chapter 278 Situation on the scene and the robbers�� demands


    ��It was indeed a bank robbery.��


    ? Moments later, Luo An ran wildly to the scene of the crime and saw a large group of LAPDs surrounding the street outside the entrance of the "Commonwealth Bank", filled with various police vehicles of different heights and sizes parked.


    ?On the promenade in the distance, there were more than two dozen reporters from various media in Los Angeles. In addition to some large news groups, there were also many small entertainment newspapers.


    ��As expected of Hollywood.��


    At this time, Luo An, wearing a suit and long legs, walked quickly into the LAPD blockade. His posture was very outstanding. The firelight from the police car not far away shone on his face, making him look very determined.


    ��Hello, I��m Detective Albert.��


    At this time, several LAPD officers walked out from the right, led by a middle-aged white man who looked to be in his forties, chubby, but with sweat on his forehead.


    ��FBI Los Angeles Division Special Investigations Unit, Deputy Chief Roan Greenwood.��


    Taking out the golden badge from his pocket, Luo An briefly showed his identity and asked:


    ��What is the specific situation at the scene?��


    As a detective who has worked in the Los Angeles Police Department for many years, Albert only knows a few numbered investigation teams within the FBI. This is the first time he has heard of the Special Investigation Team.


    ??And this was the first time for Albert to meet such a young deputy team leader.


    ??However, there was nothing unusual about what Luo An showed. Detective Albert glanced at Luo An carefully, then turned around and took him into the scene:


    ��A group of criminals drove into the bank with the goal of robbing the bank. They had bombs in their hands and also took a group of hostages.


    ?The number of hostages is currently unknown, the number and identities of the criminals are unknown, and the criminals have not yet made any demands. "


    ?At the internal scene, all the LAPD dispersed, lying behind the car with guns in both hands, pointing the guns tightly at the bank door. Everyone''s face was covered with sweat.


    ??The LAPD in the car that was overturned by the bomb just now has been rushed to rescue. No one knows whether he will survive. Anyway, the appearance is quite bad.


    ?In addition, a group of SWAT team members carrying semi-automatic rifles and anti-riot shields were further ahead, and several snipers were squatting on several high platforms opposite the bank.


    ?After the explosion, the LAPD was shocked and responded as quickly as possible. The speed of dispatching the police was unprecedented.


    ?Although there were a large number of people, the higher-ups had not arrived in a short period of time, so they relied on a slightly higher-ranking Detective Albert for temporary command.


    ??The reason why Albert is still just a police detective at such an old age is because his ability level is average, but he works long hours and only relies on his seniority to get to the position.


    This was not the first time Albert had encountered a bank robbery, but he had never been in charge before. He just happened to be on duty today, and everyone at the scene was currently at the highest level for him, so he had to bite the bullet and go ahead.


    ?Now that Luo An, the FBI, appeared, Albert breathed a sigh of relief.


    Luo An didn''t care about Albert''s eyes. After listening to the other party''s introduction, he casually took a small telescope from an LAPD, jumped onto the police car and observed the inside of the bank, and found that there were several guys wearing hoods in the lobby. Bombs are planted on the hostages.


    ?The situation deeper in the bank cannot be seen. There are eight robbers in total, only five of them are in the lobby, and three others are missing.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Luo An cursed in a low voice when he saw this, jumped out of the police car and turned around and asked:


    ��Where are the bank executives? Let them get here immediately!��


    ??Although the bank that was robbed was called "Federal Bank", it was not owned by a federal country, but a large bank controlled by a California consortium.


    ��The senior bank officials will be here soon.��


    Detective Albert quickly answered, and at the same time, a SWAT team member came over and said loudly:


    "The backdoor of the bank has been deployed! Two SWAT teams have completely blocked the area."


    ��Good.��


    ? Luo An waved and asked the LAPD to get him a loudspeaker. While waiting, he crossed his arms and stared at the bank not far away, frowning in thought.


    ?As far as Luo An knows, although this bank is located in Los Angeles, its main business is not ordinary Los Angeles people, but the big companies in Hollywood. From the start of filming to the release of a movie, a large amount of money is definitely indispensable. In order to share risks, Hollywood film company funds often do not bear all the funds at one time, but go out to find outsiders or peers to invest in it.


    In order to prevent their funds from disappearing under unknown circumstances, investors usually find a third party to supervise the expenditure of funds during the filming process. This is one of the main businesses of this "Federal Bank".


    So, there is not much money in the vault of this bank building, and there is not much gold. Both are far inferior to the JPMorgan Chase Bank on another street, not far from here.


    ?From the perspective of effort and gain, it seems that it is not very cost-effective to engage in such a big show and spend so much effort to rob this bank.


    ?But think of the world-class hacker Mona found out before...


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and had some new ideas about the bank robbery in front of him.


    LAPD quickly brought a loudspeaker to Luo An, but before Luo An could speak, two people suddenly walked out of the bank opposite:


    ?A robber wearing a black hood held a gun against a pale and trembling hostage with a bomb strapped to his body.


    ??The robber was not afraid at all in the face of numerous gunpoints. He took out a mobile phone from his pocket and threw it at the nearest LAPD, and then slowly returned to the bank.


    ??The phone was quickly delivered to Detective Albert. Albert subconsciously handed the phone to Luo An, and Luo An waved his hand to indicate to the other party to answer the call.


    Albert''s mouth twitched slightly and he pressed the answer button. A magnetic and unhurried male voice came from the other end of the phone:


    ��Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Jack.��


    ��Hello, Jack.��


    ??Luo An was standing next to Albert and also heard the voice on the phone. Albert took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:


    ��Say what you want.��


    ��I like straightforward police officers!��


    ?Jack on the other end of the phone laughed and said:


    ��Within 30 minutes, the airport will prepare a plane for us to go abroad. We will go to the airport with the hostages in a car later.


    To give a brief introduction, the hostages in the bank are now tied with bombs. If you do not complete my request within the specified time, I will blow up one hostage every three minutes. "


    After saying that, Jack hung up the phone first without waiting for Albert to answer.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Hearing the busy signal on the phone, Detective Albert cursed loudly. How could a young detective like him have such authority?


    ?But at this time, behind a police car ten steps away from him and Luo An, the LAPD police chief and FBI team director Potente Byrne all arrived at the scene.


    ?Morton York, leader of Investigation Team No. 4, also arrived here from another direction with two detectives.


    Detective Albert''s eyes lit up when he saw the chief arriving. Roan and team leader Potente Byrne looked at each other. Just as they were about to walk over with Albert, Mona and Lacey suddenly appeared together.


    ? Among them, Mona quickly ran to Luo An holding her laptop and whispered:


    ��Luo An! I discovered something here!��


    Roan made eye contact with the team leader Potente Byrne for a second, then stopped and took the computer handed to him by Mona.


    ?At times like this, clues are the most important!


    Detective Albert quickly ran to the police chief, raised his mobile phone and introduced the case to the boss:


    ��Sir, the situation is urgent now. The robber��s request is...��


    On the other side, Morton York, the leader of the No. 4 investigation team, frowned when he saw the three Luo An at the scene. He did not expect that they had arrived here earlier than him.


    ?But now we should first understand the situation on the scene. As soon as Morton-York raised his feet and prepared to go to the team leader''s position, Luo An suddenly held his laptop and walked there faster than him.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 279： LAPD Director and FBI Team Leader

    Chapter 279 LAPD Director and FBI Team Leader


    ?Mona handed the laptop to Luo An, which contained several surveillance videos.


    ??The content of the video was captured by surveillance cameras on several streets as the group drove to the bank in a car.


    The people in the car were wearing black hoods from beginning to end, so the faces of the group could not be seen clearly.


    However, Mona followed the surveillance video that first appeared in the motorcade and searched back, and successfully found the silver-gray sports car and these off-road vehicles last night in a peripheral surveillance area outside the villa area in northeast Los Angeles. The scene that appears.


    Not only that, when the sports car was attacked last night, several black cars of the same model as those driven by the second wave of people also drove out of the villa area.


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly after watching the surveillance. He guessed right. The robber in the bank was the culprit who caused his Porsche to turn into a fireball.


    ??The second wave of people who appeared last night were also from this group of robbers. Their purpose was to protect the robber leader, who was most likely the guy named Jack.


    At this time, there is only one other question left, and that is what happened to the group of mercenaries chasing Jack.


    ?However, Luo An turned around and forgot about this matter. After catching this group of robbers, the reasons behind it will naturally surface.


    ��Thank you for your hard work, Mona.��


    Roan walked quickly towards where the LAPD director and team leader Potente Byrne were. Mona and Lacey knew that there was no need to enter that circle, so they stayed where they were, preparing to wait for people from the bank to arrive.


    ? LAPD Director and FBI Team Director Potente Byrne are currently the highest-ranking people on the scene, so they naturally became the decision-makers in this case.


    After listening to Detective Albert''s account, the two of them had extremely solemn expressions.


    For high-level officials, having bombs in the hands of robbers is not a big problem, but having hostages in their hands is a problem, but there are ways to solve it.


    But the group of robbers in front of them not only had both, but also tied bombs to the hostages, which was really a headache.


    ?Especially at this time, there were a lot of reporters outside the scene who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.


    Given the desperate nature of this group of guys to make headlines, the LAPD chief and team leader Potente Byrne are sure that there are definitely a few guys in this group of reporters who are eager for their operation to fail and the hostages to suffer casualties. It is best for the robbers to come back. Escape from them.


    ??Seeing the chief''s brows frowning slightly, a superintendent above Detective Albert asked tentatively:


    ��Sir, why don��t you try a direct attack?


    ??If we act fast enough, we should be able to save a group of hostages before the other party reacts. "


    ?You must not wait around at the scene. Before someone from the FBI comes, someone from the LAPD must make suggestions.


    Suggestions may not be useful, but they must be mentioned. This is an attitude.


    "no!"


    The LAPD director immediately frowned when he heard this proposal and vetoed it solemnly:


    ��Our LAPD��s image must be maintained, and neither the police force nor the hostages may suffer too many casualties.��


    If he sacrificed his life to win this bank robbery, then his job as director would be over.


    ��Director, we can satisfy the bank robbers�� conditions first, wait until they release the hostages, and then send elites to pursue them...��


    After the chief rejected the first proposal, another LAPD superintendent next to him immediately proposed another idea.


    ����


    The LAPD chief did not speak.


    ?This idea seems to be the safest method on the surface, but doing so is equivalent to handing over the initiative to the group of robbers.


    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out out to


    ?? Luo An had already walked here with his laptop and took the initiative to say:


    ��Sir, I have found some clues related to this group of robbers.��


    The LAPD director was slightly startled when he saw Luo An''s face. He turned to look at team leader Potente Byrne and asked:


    ��Who is this?�� He had met several investigation team leaders from the FBI��s Los Angeles branch, but this was the first time he met Luo An.


    ��This is the newly transferred deputy leader of the Special Investigation Team from our FBI Los Angeles Division, Roan Greenwood.��


    ?Team leader Potente Byrne answered the LAPD director��s question and asked with a serious face:


    ��Luo An, what clues did you find?��


    Hearing Potente Byrne''s words, the expression on the LAPD chief''s face remained unchanged, but the look in his eyes was a bit surprised.


    It is rare to see such a young deputy leader of an investigation team.


    I wonder if this handsome young man rose to power based on his strength or something else?


    ? Feeling Potente Byrne''s serious gaze and the somewhat questioning look from the LAPD director, Luo An looked calm, showed the laptop in his arms to the other party, and narrated in an orderly manner:


    ��This is the surveillance video of the route that this group of robbers took to this bank...��


    ??Luo An briefly described the contents of the surveillance video, last night''s street fight in Los Angeles, how he and Mona captured an enemy when they went out, and the identity of the hacker.


    After finishing the information quickly, Luo An paused for a few seconds and expressed his previous guess with a serious face:


    ��I suspect that the target of this group of robbers is not the gold or banknotes in the bank vault at all, but the servers in this bank!��


    ?This conclusion was not just spoken by Luo An. He had real evidence in his hand and showed it to the two superiors as he spoke. It seemed very reasonable and convincing.


    ��It turns out that the big fight last night was actually related to the current bank robbery!��


    Detective Albert, who also participated in the siege last night, was secretly speechless. The LAPD superintendents were even more excited. They were thankful that the chief had not issued an order just now.


    From Luo An''s account, the group of robbers in the bank who were able to fight with mercenaries were obviously not ordinary people. If they really didn''t know anything and just fought hard, they might cause many casualties.


    The LAPD director glanced at Luo An, his expression unchanged, but he nodded secretly in his heart.


    ?Luo An is in a high position at such a young age, so he really has two skills.


    Potente-Born, the team leader, noticed another problem, frowned, and asked:


    ��What��s going on with that group of mercenaries?��


    ��Sorry, sir, I don��t know either.��


    ?? Luo An closed the computer and shook his head, then turned his eyes to Morton York, the leader of Investigation Team 4, and said:


    "The people responsible for last night''s street fight in Los Angeles were Investigation Team 4. They may know what happened."


    Upon hearing this, team leader Potente Byrne immediately turned to look at Morton York.


    ?Morton-York: ������


    He came here just now when Luo An was showing the clues on his computer. He was also listening when Luo An was describing the situation. Although he was a little shocked by Luo An in his heart, he found that he still underestimated the other party.


    ??And when he heard Luo An directing the conversation to him, Morton York, who had not yet found out the specific situation of the group of mercenaries, suddenly became angry.


    ??Looking at Luo An calmly, and after secretly writing down the account, Morton York took a deep breath and replied:


    ��Sorry, sir, we are still investigating.��


    ��Intensify investigation.��


    Potente Byrne frowned slightly but said nothing. The top priority right now was still the bank robbery, so he paused for a few seconds, looked at Roan and Potente Byrne and asked together:


    ��Do you have any suggestions or ideas about this situation?��


    ?Morton-York was silent. The current situation was a bit complicated, and he couldn''t think of any good solution at the moment.


    At this moment, Luo An, who was beside him, raised his lips slightly and opened his laptop again:


    ��Sir, please look, I have another clue here.��


    ?Morton-York:?


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 280： Nearly 10 billion US dollars and 8 million US dollars

    Chapter 280 Nearly 10 billion US dollars and 8 million US dollars


    ?? Behind a police car diagonally opposite the gate of the "Commonwealth Bank", Luo An was preparing to continue explaining the clues to the officers in front of him.


    But he was interrupted as soon as he spoke, because several bank executives arrived at the scene, and Lacey brought them to the leadership circle.


    The bank executive headed by him was an older white man wearing a suit, slightly fat, and with a slicked back hair. He obviously knew the LAPD director and team leader Potente Byrne. He exchanged a few words and immediately asked about the situation at the scene.


    After learning from the two of them that the real target of the robbers was most likely the server in the bank, the old white man hurriedly turned his attention to an executive behind him. When the executive heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his lips trembled. said:


    ��The server is loaded with more than a dozen fund accounts related to major Hollywood film and television company foundations!��


    ??This group of servers in the bank is not connected to the Internet, nor is there any external network cable. Therefore, hackers can only enter the internal network by breaking into the bank and manually connecting the network cable to the server.


    After all, no matter how powerful a hacker is, he cannot break into a computer without a network cable.


    ?The bank server is equipped with the highest level firewall on the market, and there is no shortage of encryption methods and protection methods.


    But no one knows how long these methods can withstand that world-class hacker.


    Not only that, there are a lot of other accounts in the server that cannot be explained to the outside world, and the information of the owners behind them is relatively secret. The money in these accounts is far more than the funds in those foundations.


    ??The cumulative funds in these accounts total nearly 10 billion US dollars.


    ?Seeing the look in the eyes of the senior executive, the old white man also thought of this, his face suddenly changed and he covered his heart.


    The LAPD chief and team leader Potente Byrne looked at each other with solemn expressions.


    They don��t know about the secret accounts, but they have heard about the foundations of several film and television companies. They are all large foundations with funds of over 100 million.


    ��What a big appetite!��


    ?Several superintendents, Detective Albert, Morton-York, Lacey and others were stunned. This was the first time they had encountered such a bold bank robber.


    Luo An, who was holding his laptop, nodded secretly. The leader of this group of robbers was indeed a smart guy. It would be faster to steal banknotes and gold than to transfer money directly from other people''s accounts!


    ??And seeing the old white man with his mouth open and constantly hitting his chest, Luo An suspected that there might be some other shameful things in the server.


    ��You two, please capture this group of robbers as quickly as possible!��


    ??The elderly white man took out a few pills from his pocket and stuffed them into his mouth. His mental state improved a little, and then he couldn''t wait to say:


    ��Our bank is willing to donate US$8 million afterwards!��


    ?Compared to the possible losses of nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars, 8 million U.S. dollars is really nothing.


    Whether the $8 million should be given to the LAPD or the FBI, the old white man did not say, but everyone present knew that whoever caught the robber would get the money.


    The LAPD chief and several superintendents began to breathe slightly after hearing this. Potente Byrne, the head of the FBI team, remained calm, as if he didn''t care about the 8 million US dollars at all.


    Roan was a little surprised when he saw this scene, and began to be a little curious about Potente-Byrne''s previous experience.


    But before Roan could think about it carefully, Potente-Bourne turned around and said in a deep voice:


    ��Luo An, you said you found some clues before, what specific clues are they?��


    ?Looking up and seeing the glint in the team leader''s eyes, Luo An was speechless.


    ?It seems that Potente-Byrne doesn''t care about the money, but he just does better on the surface.


    ��Ahem, that��s it.��


    ?Luo An coughed twice and attracted everyone''s attention, and explained:


    ��Everyone, from the calm attitude of the robbers in the bank, we can see that these guys are definitely prepared.��


    There is no one around to talk to you, this is obvious. Luo An paused for a moment and continued:


    ��Since the other party is prepared, it is impossible for them not to think about the countermeasures of our law enforcement personnel in advance.


    So if we meet the other party''s request, we allow them thirty minutes...twenty-five minutes later to drive the school bus to the airport with the hostages. After arriving at the airport...no, during the escort! We will definitely encounter emergencies! "


    At the end of his words, Luo An looked extremely confident and judged an inference as a definite answer in his words.


    Of course Luo An was sure, because he could think of no less than a dozen escape strategies when he put himself into this group of bank robbers.


    Hearing this, team leader Potente Byrne and the LAPD director were shocked. They both had enough experience, and Luo An''s guess was very likely in their eyes.


    The LAPD director didn��t say much. When a police superintendent saw Luo An from the FBI attracting such attention, he frowned slightly and said subconsciously:


    ��We can take more precautions during the escort, and the other party will never be able to escape from our hands!��


    ��What if a crane suddenly appears in the middle of the road and lifts the other school bus to another road?��


    ? Luo An closed his notebook and calmly stated four or five escape strategies, including but not limited to car accidents blocking roads, bombing tunnels, bombing bridges, and planes hoisting school buses, etc.


    ����


    After hearing these words, the LAPD team, Lacey, Morton-York, etc. all looked at Luo An in stunned silence.


    ??The corners of the mouth of team leader Potente Byrne also twitched a few times.


    ??Had it not been for Luo An''s innocent identity and the fact that he was the deputy leader of the special investigation team, they would have suspected that Luo An was an accomplice of the bank robber.


    ��This is Hollywood.��


    ??Luo An handed the laptop to Lacey and casually said that he had had the dream of being a director before. Finally, he said with a serious face:


    "So, we are currently unable to determine what the back-up preparations of this group of robbers are. In order to prevent them from escaping from our hands, we must keep these guys in the bank forever!"


    ��That��s right!��


    ??The bank executives and others next to him came to their senses and clapped their hands and cheered loudly for Luo An''s words. Potente Byrne, the team leader, also cast an approving look at Luo An.


    ��But what to do with the bombs in the hands of this group of robbers?��


    The LAPD director briefly thought about it and found that Luo An��s analysis was reasonable. He didn��t say anything. The superintendent on the side asked again:


    ��These bombs are now tied to the hostages!��


    ��Then first find a way to defuse the bomb, and then find a way to deal with this group of robbers!��


    ??? Before Luo An could speak, team leader Potente Byrne gave the superintendent a cold look and answered the other person''s question.


    Roan''s analysis is undoubtedly the best solution to the current situation. Potente-Byrne, who is used to doing things directly, is really in no mood to argue with the LAPD in this regard.


    Potente-Byrne took out his cell phone from his pocket and prepared to call the counter-improvised explosive device department of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch and ask them to come to the scene quickly to check the situation. After all, this department is the expert in bomb research.


    ��No need, sir.��


    Just as Potente-Byrne was about to press the button, Luo An said that he came to the scene and had already called the counter-improvised explosive device department when he saw the injured LAPD rushed to the hospital for rescue.


    ??Grabbed the watch on Lacey''s wrist and took a look at it, Luo An smiled and said:


    ��They should be on the scene soon.��


    As soon as he finished speaking, the dark van of the counter-improvised explosive device department stopped on the road behind everyone.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 281： LAPD Chief: Give them a plane!

    Chapter 281 LAPD Director: Give them a plane!


    ?The Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Division is a major incident response team under the FBI''s Crime, Cyber, and Services divisions.


    ?This unit is at the same level as the Hostage Rescue Team (HRT), Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT), and Behavioral Analysis Unit (BUN).


    ??This time the bank robbers not only threw bombs at the LAPD wildly, but also tied a bunch of bombs to the hostages. Luo An called the department as soon as he saw this situation.


    ? Many times this department will not take the initiative because there are some members of the SWAT team who are responsible for targeting bombs.


    So as the anti-IED unit van entered, the LAPD director, superintendent, FBI team director Potente Byrne, No. 4 investigation team leader Morton York and others looked at Luo An again. Not a small change.


    ? Luo An has indeed not conducted any command since arriving at the scene, but everyone has now seen that Luo An definitely has sufficient experience in field control and has a unique understanding of the situation on the scene.


    Furthermore, Luo An has not had any problems with exceeding his authority, and everything he did was within the scope of his responsibilities.


    After thinking about this, the LAPD director looked at Luo An with a flash of light in his eyes. It was indeed unusual to become the deputy leader of the investigation team at such a young age.


    Seeing that he is about the same age as my daughter, it seems that they can get to know each other in the future...


    "very good!"


    Potente Byrne, the team leader, patted Luo An on the shoulder with great satisfaction, and then waved his hand, asking the agents of the counter-improvised explosive device department to rush in to check the bomb situation.


    Jingle Bell-


    ?At this moment, the black phone in Detective Albert''s hand rang again, and the scene suddenly fell silent.


    After a few seconds of silence, the LAPD chief took the phone and pressed the answer button:


    ��I��m the chief of the LAPD.��


    ��Hello, Mr. Director.��


    ??The magnetic male voice was still on the other end of the phone:


    "There are still...23 minutes left before the time I mentioned before. How are you preparing the plane I want?"


    ��I have sent people to the airport to prepare.��


    The LAPD director started talking nonsense, and then said that the time requested by the other party was too tight, and there were some difficulties at the airport, and he hoped that the other party could give him more time.


    ��That��s your problem, Mr. Director.��


    Jack on the other end of the phone dismissed the director��s words:


    ��I will only give you 23 minutes. If you are not ready at the end of the time, I will blow up the hostages one by one!��


    The director''s face turned ugly when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Jack on the other end of the phone suddenly smiled and asked:


    ��Do you think these bombs are fake?��


    After saying that, the director hung up the phone directly without giving any response.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Hearing the busy tone on the phone, the LAPD director��s face changed drastically and he shouted hurriedly:


    ��Hostage! The other side wants to kill the hostages! Find a way to save them!��


    The words of the LAPD director made everyone present change their expressions, but there was no way out now. Potente Byrne, the team leader, had no choice but to loudly tell everyone present to be careful about bombs.


    ?Sure enough, a few seconds later, a knocked out hostage was thrown out.


    Boom! !


    The next second, a bright fire rang out, the bomb exploded suddenly, and the hostage who fainted on the ground disappeared directly.


    ?The reporters in the distance screamed. One unlucky guy had some flesh and blood splattered on his body. The horrific scene made him vomit all over the floor. Other reporters also vomited when they saw this.


    The LAPD and SWAT members who were hiding behind the police car hid behind the barrier a second before the hostages were thrown out, so no one was injured.


    In the decision-making circle where the LAPD director and team leader Potente Byrne were located, no one was injured because they evaded in time, but everyone''s face was completely blackened.


    "damn it!"


    ��Sonof than eat!�� ????��This is a bunch of lunatics!��


    They thought that the other party was just seeking money, but now it seems that these guys don''t care about human life at all!


    ??The black phone rang again. The LAPD chief pressed the answer button. Before he could speak, Jack''s roar came from the other end of the phone:


    ��I said it! We want a plane!


    If the plane is not in place after 22 minutes! Then just watch the hostages die one by one! "


    Snapped-


    ?The other end hung up the phone again.


    ��*#%������


    Hearing the busy signal on the phone, the LAPD chief cursed a lot of slang with an ugly face, then took a deep breath, put the phone into the hand of team leader Potente Byrne, and said in a deep voice:


    ��The robbers want a plane, so I��ll give them a plane!��


    As for the rest, I��ll give it to you on the spot! "


    After saying that, the LAPD director turned around and took the two superintendents away from here to the airport.


    ��These crazy people!��


    ??Team leader Potente Byrne also looked very ugly. He took the phone and looked around, and found that Luo An was suddenly missing.


    ??After a careful search, I discovered that Luo An was actually with the agents of the counter-improvised explosive device department.


    When the director was hung up for the first time, Luo An had already pulled Lacey and quickly ran to several anti-improvised explosive device agents.


    At that time, these detectives were studying the fragments of the bomb that had overturned the police car. After Luo An ran to them, he immediately handed the binoculars to them and said:


    ��When the robbers activate the bomb, you should quickly check the details of the bomb!��


    After saying this, Luo An quickly said to Mona:


    ��Take out your phone and take photos of the thrown hostages! The more photos you can take, the better!��


    ��What?��


    ??The counter-improvised explosive device department agent quickly understood what Luo An meant, and quickly made preparations with Mona.


    The moment the hostages were thrown out, Mona immediately began to take photos frantically, and the anti-improvised agents also began to carefully observe the bombs on the hostages.


    After the bomb exploded, Luo An turned to look at Lacey, pointed at the reporters vomiting face to face in the distance, and said:


    ��It will be of great use to bring all the equipment that those people just took photos with.��


    ��OK.��


    Lacie raised the corners of her mouth slightly and began to move quickly towards the group of reporters.


    ?Let the SWAT team members go to deal with the broken bodies and debris. Luo An turned to look at the anti-simple department agents and asked:


    ��How about it, have you seen what kind of bomb the hostage is carrying?��


    The agent of the Anti-Simple Department took a deep breath, discussed with several colleagues behind him for a moment, and replied:


    ��It looks like a remote-controlled bomb, but the time just now was too short, so it��s not clear what type of remote-controlled device it is.��


    ��It��s okay, I��ve prepared photos for you.��


    ??Luo An��s expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and he handed Mona the cell phone that she had just used to take pictures. Lacey also stole...borrowed their camera equipment from the reporters.


    ?Not long after, the SWAT team members also found some remaining fragments after the bomb explosion, and then handed them over to the agents of the anti-improvised department.


    Holding photos from several angles and fragments of two bombs in his hand, the anti-improvised department agent cast an admiring look at Luo An, and then quickly discussed with his colleagues.


    Team leader Potente Byrne and leader of Investigation Team No. 4 Morton York also moved here at this time. After learning the specific content of Luo An��s actions just now, Potente Byrne raised his eyebrows and praised him repeatedly. Luo An''s reaction speed, Morton York stood aside in silence.


    Just a few minutes later, the agent from the counter-improvised explosive device department turned around and said to Potente, Luo An and others with a serious face:


    ��Sirs, we know how to deal with these bombs.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 282： The PPT may not be true, but the slogan must ring

    Chapter 282 The PPT may not be true, but the slogan must ring


    ??The words of the agent from the Counter Improvised Explosive Devices Department immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.


    ?Team leader Potente Byrne asked impatiently:


    "How to deal with it?"


    ?Roan, Lacey, Mona, and Morton York, the leader of Investigation Team No. 4, all looked at the detective with burning eyes.


    ��Thanks to the help of deputy team leader Luo An, we have figured out the composition of the bomb used by the robbers.��


    ?An anti-improvised department agent picked up a piece of bomb fragments and explained:


    ��Sirs, please see, this bomb is mainly composed of TNT, starter, and signal receiving device...��


    ??A lot of professional vocabulary came out of the anti-simplified department detective building, and the leader of the No. 4 Investigation Team, Morton York, frowned when he heard it.


    Potente Byrne, the experienced team leader, understood this. Although Luo An did not understand the professional vocabulary very well, he understood the meaning of the other party''s words and finally concluded:


    ��You mean that the bomb used by the other party is actually a remote-controlled bomb, and the remote control method may be a mobile phone signal, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Anti-simplified department agents nodded repeatedly:


    ��We can prevent the bomb from exploding by blocking the signals in this area!��


    The working principle of the signal jammer is to scan from the low-end frequency of the forward channel to the high-end at a certain speed. This scanning speed can form garbled interference at the receiving end, so that the end of the receiving signal cannot detect the normal data sent by the remote control end.


    Since cell phone bombs frequently appeared in certain areas outside the Federation, such jammers have appeared within the Federation. Naturally, the FBI also has this kind of professional equipment.


    ��Well done!��


    Potente Byrne, the team leader, patted the anti-simple department agent heavily on the shoulder, took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call:


    ��I��ll ask someone from the headquarters to send the equipment!��


    Potente-Byrne has made up his mind to launch a raid as soon as the equipment arrives at the scene.


    ��Wait a minute, sir!��


    At this moment, the anti-simple department agent suddenly stood up and stopped Potente-Byrne''s movement, and said with a serious face:


    ��As deputy team leader Luo An just said, mobile phone remote control is only one possibility, and it cannot be ruled out that the robbers used other remote control methods.


    In addition, there is a manual mechanism on the starter of this bomb. If the robbers find that they cannot start the bomb by remote control, they still have a chance to start the bomb manually! "


    ??The words of the anti-simple department agent made Potente-Byrne freeze. He understood the meaning of the other party''s words, that is, the other party was not sure whether the signal jammer would work 100%.


    ?Morton-York, Lacey, and Mona frowned when they heard this. Roan crossed his arms and thought for a while, then asked:


    ��If we know what kind of remote control method the other party is using, can you take corresponding measures?��


    The agents of the anti-simple department were silent for a few seconds and nodded after hearing this, but the key point now is that they don''t know what kind of remote control method the other party uses.


    The two bombs that appeared in front of them had already exploded. They only had some messy explosion fragments in their hands, but no bombs themselves at all.


    The complete bomb was inside the bank hall. The hall was blocked by off-road vehicles, and they were unable to carefully study the details of the complete bomb.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ? Potente-Byrne cursed under his breath, but still called the FBI headquarters in Los Angeles to send the signal-blocking equipment as quickly as possible.


    Let��s not talk about whether it will work or not. It is more important that the equipment is in place first.


    Potente-Byrne had just hung up the call from the FBI when the black cell phone rang again. There was still a magnetic male voice on the other end of the phone. The purpose of the other party''s call was to remind the law enforcement officers outside that there were still 19 seconds left. minute. ��Shit!��


    ?The other party hung up the phone again, and Potente-Byrne''s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.


    ?There was silence at the scene. Luo An, who was next to him, was holding the internal structure diagram of the bank brought by the bank executive. He analyzed it with his fingers for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and said:


    ��Sir, I have an idea.��


    ? Potente-Byrne cheered up:


    "explain!"


    ��Please look here.��


    ? Luo An showed the PPT�� internal structure diagram of the bank to Potente-Bourne and analyzed:


    ��The bank��s vault and servers are placed in two adjacent rooms semi-underground inside the bank. The doors are made of special concrete and special steel cladding.


    ? To enter these two rooms, there is only one way to go around the bank counter side and behind it, first open a locked iron door, and then follow the steps into the interior. "


    At this time, the hostages were trapped in the bank lobby, and several robbers were also in the bank lobby. Behind the lobby were the bank counter and manager''s office.


    Potente-Bourne looked at the drawings, thought for a moment, and said:


    ��You mean to send someone to sneak into the bank, find a way to photograph the specific situation of the bomb, analyze its specific remote control method, and then formulate a specific action plan?��


    Potente-Bourne''s eyes became brighter as he talked. Judging from his ability and experience when he was young, the success rate of this plan was extremely high. If he could be ten years younger, he would be sure to complete this task.


    ?Thinking of this, Potente Byrne looked at Luo An with very satisfied eyes, but unexpectedly Luo An shook his head and continued:


    ��No, sir, it��s just one of them.


    ??After sneaking into the bank and trying to take photos of the bomb, you can completely lure the bank robber leader Jack out of the room where the server is located.


    ??Then the people who sneaked into the bank quickly killed each other, and the people outside acted in sync, without giving the other party a chance to react, and quickly broke into the bank and killed the other robbers!


    ??There isn''t enough time for the hostage rescue team to get here, so I''m applying for this mission alone! "


    ?Luo An''s sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the scene. After speaking, Morton-York, Lacey and the bank executives not far away were all shocked.


    ??Mona frowned, and Potente-Bourne looked up and down at Roan with a solemn expression:


    ��This plan is too dangerous!��


    Leaving aside the bomb issue, Potente-Byrne believed that there were eight robbers inside the bank. Once one of them was killed, the other seven would definitely fight back quickly.


    Facing the various looks from everyone, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged.


    From the outside, this plan is indeed dangerous, but the emotional perception in Luo An''s mind allows him to discover the location of others in advance, and the medicines prescribed by the system can also ensure his life safety.


    ??It is really impossible to defeat him. With these methods, Luo An is still 100% sure that he can successfully escape from the opponent''s hands.


    What''s more, Luo An didn''t really intend to do this. He was just saying these words to the group of bank executives next to him. After all, the other party had come up with 8 million US dollars this time.


    How can I convince these bank executives without being cold, serious and dangerous, and how can I give myself a chance to take the bulk of the money?


    The products on the PPT may not be real, but they must be powerful and the slogans must be loud!


    ??So Luo An calmly glanced at the bank executives next to him who looked moved, smiled slightly in his heart, and said loudly again:


    ��Sir, I apply to carry out this mission!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 283： Get started: Sneak into the bank!

    Chapter 283 Take action: Sneak into the bank!


    Behind the police car, Luo An��s words shocked everyone like a bomb.


    ? Lacey and Mona frowned, Morton York looked complicated, Potente Byrne looked solemn, and the bank executives looked at Luo An in shock.


    No one at the scene doubted that Luo An was brave enough to fight, but he could fight hard. He could deal with this group of well-trained and unusually skilled robbers by himself, and it was a one-on-one battle. Bullets don''t have long eyes. As long as a stray bullet hits, Luo An An didn''t even have a chance to walk out of the bank door.


    But this is from the perspective of others. Luo An himself never does anything he is not sure of.


    Potente Byrne, the team leader, saw the expressions on the faces of bank executives out of the corner of his eye. He was silent for a long time, nodded heavily and said in a solemn voice:


    ��OK, Deputy Team Leader Roan Greenwood, this task will be left to you.��


    ��Don��t worry, you know me and are waiting for my good news.��


    Roan first turned to Mona and Lacey and blinked, and then said to Potente-Byrne:


    ��Thank you sir, but I need some equipment!��


    Before he came here, Luo An had a Glock 18 and several magazines, and he didn��t even have a body armor.


    ?Although he was confident enough, he didn''t want to be too embarrassed, not to mention that if he didn''t make more preparations, how could he highlight the danger of the mission?


    ��Just say it!��


    ?At this time, no one present refused Luo An''s request. No matter what equipment he wanted, Potente-Born nodded in agreement and asked others to quickly bring it to Luo An.


    Soon, Luo An was wearing a body armor, two shock bombs and two smoke bombs stuffed into his body. He was holding a Glock 18 in his hand and two extended magazines on his waist.


    At this time, there are still 13 minutes left before the time required by the bank robbers.


    ??Mona and Lacey stood behind Luo An to help him sort out his clothes. Potente Byrne, the team leader, asked in a solemn voice:


    ��How do you plan to get inside the bank?��


    ?The ventilation and exhaust ducts in the movie cannot be penetrated in real life, and the front and back doors of the bank are guarded by armed robbers.


    ��It��s very simple, just walk from the top.��


    Luo An grinned. This little thing was not difficult for him. Since he couldn''t walk forward or backward, and he couldn''t dig a hole from below, he had to walk from above.


    At this time, the FBI headquarters in Los Angeles sent three laptop-sized jammers and a mobile phone that can take photos and send photos. Luo An stuffed them into his bag and straddled his back, and then asked Mona Lacey and Potente respectively. -Bourne and the bank executives nodded, turned around and moved quickly towards the side of the bank.


    ??The action plan for this operation is simple:


    ??Luo An sneaked into the bank and tried to take photos of the bomb and send them out. He waited for the agents from the counter-improvised explosive device department to figure out the remote control method of the bomb before deciding whether to activate the jammer.


    ?As long as the jammer is activated, break into the bank and kill the group of robbers quickly.


    ??If the jammer fails to work, it will be up to Luo An to adapt accordingly. The SWAT team members and LAPD outside are always ready to take Luo An''s instructions.


    ��Let��s not move, just stand at the door and wait for him to come back!��


    ??Team leader Potente Byrne was still standing behind the vehicle, and everyone pretended that nothing had happened, quietly waiting for Luo An''s voice to be heard from the communicator on the side.


    ?At the same time, Jack stood in the huge server room, pinched his watch, and asked:


    "how long will it take?"


    ? World-class hacker Esado Zarek Dujak stood nearby, his fingers flying wildly on the keyboard of his laptop, with an unnatural flush on his face:


    ��Hurry! Hurry!��


    ?Jack frowned slightly:


    ��You better hurry up, we only have 5 minutes left!��


    ��OK, OK!��


    Hacker Essodo didn��t even raise his head. Lying beside them was a corpse with a gunshot wound to the forehead. It was the bank manager who had handed over the keys before.


    ����


    ?At this moment, the side of "Commonwealth Bank". This street is in a well-known and wealthy area of ??Los Angeles. The houses on the entire street are not high, and this bank is only on the fourth floor.


    ??Looking at the sniper in the distance calmly, Luo An took out a bottle of stamina potion and a bottle of feather fall potion from an angle that no one could see and poured them into his stomach.


    Feeling that his body had become very light, Luo An raised the corners of his mouth slightly, ran forward a few steps, stamped his feet on the ground, grabbed the top of the window frame on the first floor with both hands, and then pushed upward with force. After a pause, his hands grabbed the bottom of the second floor window again.


    ? ? Pushing open the window quietly, Luo An''s figure flashed into the unoccupied room on the second floor.


    The snipers not far away were stunned by Luo An''s series of movements as he climbed the stairs. They were all shocked by Luo An''s grip and arm strength.


    ?These people are all SWAT members. After a simple comparison, they all found that they could not do what Luo An did just now.


    ��This deputy leader of the special investigation team is indeed no ordinary person!��


    ��I don��t know how he practices!��


    The second to fourth floors of "Commonwealth Bank" are the VIP customer area, office area, storage service area and other parts.


    ???The robber''s area of ??activity was only the lobby on the first floor, the semi-underground vault and the front and rear doors. Therefore, Luo An was not noticed when he entered the room on the second floor.


    ??The internal surveillance of the bank has been destroyed by this group of robbers. Their original intention was to prevent the LAPD or FBI from observing the situation inside the bank through the camera, but the destroyed surveillance at this time also made it easier for Luo An to sneak into the bank.


    ??Walking quietly in the corridor on the second floor of the bank, Luo An crossed the elevator and walked to the stairs, and slowly moved along the stairs to the first floor.


    ??The stairs are located deep in the lobby on the first floor, diagonally behind the bank counter. It is still some distance away from where the hostages are, but diagonally opposite is the bank counter.


    ??A dozen hostages with bombs tied to their bodies were sitting together in the lobby. The bombs could not be photographed from the direction of the bank counter. The only place where the bombs could be photographed was in the manager''s office on the other side.


    ?There were eight robbers inside the bank, two guarding the back door and two guarding the front door.


    ? ?Two people are missing, they should be Jack and the hacker. They are most likely in the server room at this time, so there are only two robbers guarding the hostages in the hall.


    Because the hostages were all tied with bombs and tied together, the two robbers were quite relaxed at this time, and they chatted happily while using their guns to see how they were used:


    ��When this operation is over, I will marry my girlfriend.��


    ��Great idea! By the way, I heard your girlfriend is pregnant?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ��Then what does your girlfriend��s husband think?��


    ��He is very unhappy and is divorcing my girlfriend, so I plan to have a good chat with him after this is over.��


    ����


    Luo An, who was hiding in the dark, rolled his eyes. He was worried before that his operation would fail, but now that he heard the robbers planting flags for him, Luo An suddenly felt confident.


    ??Taking off the package and hiding it, Luo An moved the manager''s office like a ghost in the shadow where the hostages couldn''t see it.


    He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, took a dozen photos of the bomb on the hostage across the street and transmitted it to the outside.


    After the photo-taking operation was over, Luo An quietly returned to the stairs from behind the manager''s office.


    Outside the bank, several agents from the counter-improvised explosive device department received the photo and immediately checked the details of the bomb.


    At the same time, inside the bank, a familiar magnetic male voice suddenly followed the footsteps and came from far to near:


    ��Number 9, Number 6, the operation will end soon, remember to act according to the plan!��


    ��OK!��


    ??The two people in the hall nodded repeatedly, but the footsteps of the familiar male voice seemed to have no intention of stopping. Instead, they were getting closer and closer to the staircase where Luo An was.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 284： The plan worked, but not entirely

    Chapter 284 The plan succeeded, but not completely


    ?Inside the bank, the magnetic male voice walked toward the bank lobby step by step, getting closer and closer to the stairwell.


    ?Time passed by second by second and passed by in the blink of an eye. The magnetic male voice quickly walked to the stairs. He subconsciously turned his head and took a look but found nothing. He continued to walk towards the bank hall.


    ?At the side of the stairs on the second floor, where the magnetic male voice could not be seen, Luo An stood against the wall holding a backpack with a jammer.


    Just now, when he heard the other party walking towards here, Luo An took advantage of the effect of the Featherfall Potion before it ended, stepped on the ground and jumped onto the handrail of the stairs, and jumped from the handrail to the second floor.


    The next second Luo An hid on the side of the stairwell, a magnetic male voice walked past the stairwell on the first floor.


    ??Sighing out a breath, Luo An took out his mobile phone from his pocket and sent a message to inquire about the research progress of the counter-improvised explosive devices department agents.


    ? Potente-Byrne, Director of the Results Group, responded:


    ��Still working on it.��


    ����


    Luo An shook his head speechlessly. It was now less than ten minutes before the time requested by the other party.


    ??Moreover, the person downstairs just now said that the operation will be over soon. Who knows how much time the counter-improvised explosive devices department agents will need.


    ?Typing on the keyboard of his mobile phone, he sent a text message saying "Immediately break into the bank and start taking action when you hear gunshots".


    ? Luo An put away his cell phone, hid the signal jammer, checked the bullets in the Glock 18, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly:


    ��Next, it��s my turn to take the lead.��


    ?Outside the bank, team leader Potente Byrne''s pupils shrank when he saw the text message from Luo An. He didn''t like this kind of unexpected situation where things were out of his control.


    But when he saw the agents from the counter-improvised explosive device department on the side, they hadn''t really discussed a result yet. Potente-Byrne had to take a deep breath, waved his hand and called Lacey and Mona, asking them to notify all SWATs present. Action Team members and LAPD officers:


    ??When gunshots are heard in the bank, immediately break into the bank and rescue the hostages!


    Inside the bank.


    At this time, the magnetic male voice was still in the bank lobby, whispering something to the bank robbers code-named No. 6 and No. 9:


    ��It��s going very well inside. As long as the follow-up plan goes well, the money...��


    ��OK����


    ?Luo An, who was as silent as a ghost, saw this scene and silently analyzed the next plan.


    The top priority now is to figure out what and where the remote control terminal of the remote-controlled bomb is.


    Luo An did not see anything in the hands of the magnetic male voice. He only found that the pocket on the man''s chest was bulging and contained a square box with an antenna, which seemed to be a remote control device.


    But it cannot be ruled out that it is a mobile phone.


    ? Luo An pondered for a moment and decided to make a move:


    ??Making a little noise upstairs attracted the attention of the three people in the hall. While the three of them went upstairs to check the situation, they themselves checked the reaction of the magnetic male voice.


    ??If the object on the opponent''s chest is really the remote control device of a remote control bomb, then when an unexpected problem occurs, the opponent will definitely have the remote control device in his hand.


    ??And when No. 6 and No. 9 went to check the situation, the magnetic male voice would not directly detonate the bomb and kill the hostages. At most, it would call the law enforcement officers outside to warn them not to play tricks.


    On the other hand, as long as he figured out what the opponent''s remote control device was, Luo An would be absolutely sure to kill the opponent directly.


    After the plan was formulated, Luo An immediately turned around and returned to the second floor of the bank. On a table in one of the reception rooms, he simply set up a small device that could delay the cup from falling to the ground, and then moved from the shadows to the manager''s office again. .


    ?Time moved forward second by second. The magnetic male voice finished discussing with the two robbers in the hall in a low voice. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a clear voice suddenly came from the second floor:


    ����


    ?The sudden sound startled everyone in the hall, and all the hostages were so frightened that they all trembled. The two robbers No. 6 and No. 9 subconsciously raised the rifles in their hands and pointed at the stairs on the second floor. The magnetic male voice immediately took out a pistol from the waist and at the same time took out the other hand from the chest pocket. Square box with antenna.


    Luo An, who was hiding in the dark, raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this. As he expected, the enemy''s first reaction upon discovering the unexpected situation was to take out the remote control of the bomb.


    ��No. 6! Go and check the situation!


    No. 4! Come back! "


    What Luo An didn''t expect was that the magnetic male voice not only instructed one of the robbers in the lobby to go to the second floor to check the situation, but also asked one of the two robbers guarding the front door of the bank, code-named No. 4, to return to the bank lobby.


    The magnetic male voice himself held the remote control device, put away the pistol, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the law enforcement agencies outside, and at the same time walked quickly towards the vault and server location deep in the bank!


    Luo An frowned when he saw this. No. 6, who went to the second floor to check, was not very fast. On the contrary, the magnetic male voice was walking very fast. It was expected that Luo An would completely lose sight of him in a few seconds.


    ??In order to prevent the remote control device from leaving his sight, Luo An must kill the magnetic male voice now!


    But there were now three robbers with rifles in the bank lobby, and the robbers guarding the front door of the bank also noticed the scene.


    ??So Luo An not only needs to kill the magnetic male voice in a very short time, but also needs to deal with four bank robbers holding rifles at the same time!


    The plan succeeded, but not completely.


    ��Shit!��


    ?Now is not the time to hesitate. Luo An opened the system page, took out a bottle of hemostatic potion and a bottle of agility potion and poured them into his stomach. Then he opened the safety of the Glock 18 and quickly stood up in the manager''s office.


    ��Hmm? Who is it?��


    In the manager''s office, which was already deserted, a handsome man with a gun suddenly appeared, startling everyone present again. The hostages with bombs tied to their bodies all stared wide-eyed. They didn''t know when Luo An appeared. here.


    ???The three armed robbers in the hall also shrank their pupils, but their years of fighting reactions made them immediately raise their guns and shoot at Luo An the second he appeared.


    boom!


    ?Bang bang bang bang��


    ??But Luo An was faster. He pulled the trigger and a bullet rushed out, instantly piercing the forehead of the magnetic male voice not far away.


    ??The magnetic male voice subconsciously turned around to check when he heard something behind him, but as soon as he turned his head and before he could see Luo An''s face clearly, a bullet made his body limp and fell into a pool of blood.


    Luo An, who had absolute confidence in his marksmanship, did not even look at the magnetic male voice after firing the first shot. Instead, he rushed out quickly without any hesitation, rolled a few times on the spot, and squatted firmly at the bank clerk''s counter diagonally opposite the manager''s office. side.


    ??The next second Luo An left the manager''s office, bullets from the three robbers in the hall shattered the desks and glass inside into pieces.


    ��Shit! What��s going on with this guy?��


    ��The remote control is over there!��


    ��Kill this guy!��


    When the three robbers saw the body of the magnetic man, their eyes were full of anger. Although they were surprised that Luo An''s speed actually dodged their bullets, they were three people after all, and Luo An was only one person. They were sure to win if they had more enemies than less.


    ??In addition, the body of the magnetic male voice is right behind Luo An, and the remote control device also fell to the ground. In order to prevent the group of law enforcement officers outside, they must **** the remote control device back!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    Rapid gunshots rang out instantly in the bank hall, and bullets were fired in the direction of Luo An. Three robbers were shooting and walking towards this direction quickly.


    ?At the same time, the moment he heard gunshots coming from the bank, team leader Potente Byrne immediately shouted:


    "start to act!"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 285： When the action is over, there will be no good end for those who planted the flag.

    Chapter 285 The operation is over, and those who planted the flag will not have a good ending.


    ?Following the order from team leader Potente Byrne, the SWAT team members and LAPD who had been waiting for a long time at the front and back entrances of the bank immediately got up and rushed to the bank quickly.


    ?Several SWAT snipers who had been lying down at the commanding heights for most of the day also pulled the triggers.


    boom!


    boom!


    boom!


    ?Three gunshots were fired, and the only remaining robber at the front door of the bank and the two robbers at the back door immediately fell to the ground with blood spattered on their heads.


    ��The police outside are on the move! Get the remote control quickly!��


    ��Kill this guy!��


    ?At the same time, the faces of the three robbers in the bank lobby changed drastically. Two of them continued to shoot wildly at Luo An''s location, and the other one ran faster towards the ground remote control device.


    Ding!


    ����


    At this moment, the three of them suddenly saw a round thing in front of their eyes. Robber No. 4, who was running at the front, had his eyes wide open and shouted:


    ��shock����


    Boom!


    Before he finished speaking, a deafening explosion suddenly exploded, and the extremely dazzling white light made Robber No. 4''s ears and eyes instantly bleed with blood.


    boom!


    ?The next second, a bullet shot out from the Glock 18, successfully entered the forehead of Robber No. 4 and sent him to hell.


    After one person was eliminated, there were two left. Luo An, who had already opened up the "emotional perception" in his mind, pulled the trigger, switched the gun muzzle, and shot at the other two figures in an instant.


    boom! boom!


    After two short and powerful gunshots, one of them lay on his back and fell to the ground. Luo An was about to shoot again at the second man''s position when a sharp wind blew quickly towards his ears.


    boom!


    ?Seeing No. 6''s ferocious face and the cold light of the dagger in his hand, Luo An took a step back. Zama lowered his head, dodged, and immediately straightened his back, ready to pull the trigger.


    ����


    In order to avoid you coming towards his neck, Luo An deflected the gun and hit the steel wall of the vault not far away.


    ��Ouch!��


    No. 6 struck again with a dagger. Luo An simply turned the pistol in his hand, inserted it back into his waist, shouted in a low voice with red eyes:


    ��Playing with a dagger in front of me? How dare you?!��


    ??I saw Luo An decisively switching from his gun to his fists. His muscles were flexible to dodge the opponent''s dagger. His legs dodged and he made a side lunge, and punched out in the middle.


    With the blessing of physical fitness, the boxing style becomes extremely pleasant, like an arrow shooting from a startled string, directly towards the empty space in No. 6''s abdomen.


    ?There is a saying in the Eastern martial arts world that "a thousand dollars cannot buy a sound." That means making a sound when practicing kung fu is a sign of profound martial arts.


    ?Luo An is good at killing skills. Because of the system, his physical fitness is already very high at this time, and the sound is not too difficult for him.


    No. 6 heard the ringing in his ears and looked horrified. He instantly bent over and cut Luo An''s wrist with the dagger again.


    Boom!


    ?Hit the No. 6 gap with one punch, making a pleasant sound, and instantly bursting out with huge power.


    ? No. 6''s body retreated uncontrollably until his back hit the steel wall of the bank counter. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth uncontrollably, with a shocked expression on his face.


    ��Who is this guy?��


    ??Seeing the dumbfounded look on No. 6''s face, he still endured the pain in his body and continued to rush towards the remote control device not far away. Luo An was too lazy to continue to compete with him in martial arts, and directly took out the pistol from behind.


    boom!


    ?The bullets shot out from the barrel of the gun, and a **** hole suddenly appeared on the back of No. 6''s head. His legs weakened and he fell forward to the ground.


    The right hand that went to pick up the remote control device was forward. No. 6 looked at the remote control device less than ten centimeters away from his right hand, and his eyes were about to burst. A wisp of blood flowed from his forehead down his eyes to the corner of his mouth and finally to the ground. He stared blankly and lost his mind. Take a breath.


    ��Those who plant flags for themselves will not end well.��


    ??Luo An put away the Glock 18, picked up the remote control device from the ground, and shook his head repeatedly as he looked at No. 6, who was still staring at death.


    It was this No. 6 who planned to go back and chat with his girlfriend��s husband after robbing the bank.


    Now it seems that it is impossible to talk.


    ?Handing the bomb''s remote control device to the SWAT team member not far away, Luo An continued walking towards the location of the vault deep in the bank with the pistol in hand.


    There were eight robbers in total. SWAT killed three gatekeepers, Luo An killed four himself, and there is still one left.


    If nothing else happens, the remaining guy should be the hacker. The SWAT team members and LAPD who took over the bomb''s remote control device and broke into the bank were shocked when they saw the four bodies on the ground.


    ?Except for the robber leader who held a pistol, the remaining three were all ruthless men holding rifles.


    In the previous battle on the streets of Los Angeles, they were able to kill the hostile mercenaries, which is enough to show that this group of people has extraordinary skills.


    ??But I didn��t expect that Luo An killed three of the opponents with just a pistol.


    ?Several SWAT agents looked at each other. They heard that Luo An was the deputy leader of the Special Investigation Team.


    ??And it seems that the Special Investigation Team has just been established in the FBI''s Los Angeles branch, and it is said that there is a shortage of personnel now.


    ??Mona frowned as she looked at the corpse on the ground, and quickly followed Luo An''s figure while holding her laptop.


    ??Although Luo An explained to her beforehand that he was sure, how could she not be worried about him.


    After this operation is over, I must have a chat with Luo An. He is already the deputy team leader, so there is no need to be at the forefront of everything...


    ??Lacie looked at Luo An''s back and swallowed silently. She found that Luo An''s skills were getting more and more terrifying. She really wanted to know how he practiced. She didn''t see him practicing fighting often.


    ??Having the opportunity to ask Luo An for advice, Lacey didn''t think she could defeat Luo An, but after learning the opponent''s skills, Lacey felt that she might be able to have the physical strength and skills to fight one against three, or even one against five.


    ?Morton York, the leader of the No. 4 Investigation Team, was silent. Let alone Luo An��s crime-solving skills, Luo An��s skills alone made the position of deputy leader of the Special Investigation Team more than enough for him.


    ??It''s a pity that the two have different identities, otherwise he would really want to recruit Luo An into his hands. None of the young people in the No. 4 Investigation Team can compare to Luo An.


    ??Team leader Potente Byrne looked at Luo An''s back and his eyes lit up. He never expected that Luo An could do this!


    ?Looking back at his age, Potente-Byrne found that his ability was far inferior to Roan.


    ��It��s a good seedling!��


    Potente-Bourne opened his legs and quickly followed Luo An''s back towards the depths of the bank. He planned to have a good chat with Luo An after this matter was over.


    ?Potent-Bourne knew that the thigh behind Roan was Veranith, and he also knew who was behind Veranith.


    But in his opinion, overseas is the most suitable place for Luo An to develop. Places like Washington will only bury Luo An''s skills.


    On the other side, Luo An slowly walked towards the room where the server was located with a pistol in hand. When he saw Mona and Potente-Born following not far away, Luo An nodded towards the two of them, and then rushed forward holding a Glock 18. Entering the room:


    ��FBI!��


    ?No one answered in the room, except for the bank manager who had been dead for a long time on the ground. A young white man lay silently on the ground, next to a pile of computers that had been burned to pieces by fire.


    ??Luo An slowly walked over and pulled away, and found that the other party was indeed the hacker Essodo, but at this time he had lost his breath, his ears, mouth and nostrils were bleeding outwards, his eyes were red, and his face was distorted.


    ��Cold-blooded enough.��


    ??Although he didn''t know the specific cause of this guy''s death, Luo An was sure that the person who did it was 100% Jack.


    ? ? Putting away the Glock 18, Roan noticed a small piece of something stuck on the sole of this guy''s shoe out of the corner of his eye. As soon as he picked it up, Potente-Bourne and Mona walked into the room.


    "How about it?"


    ��Obviously, I was silenced before I came.��


    A flash of light flashed in Luo An''s eyes, he silently put away the small thing and replied:


    ��It may take a long time before the bank��s losses are clarified.��


    ��That��s a bank problem.��


    Potente-Byrne glanced at the body on the ground, the two briefly discussed it, and the scene was handed over to subsequent trace inspection detectives.


    Far away, at the airport, the LAPD chief��s cell phone suddenly rang.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 286： Luo An, who was shown love from afar

    Chapter 286: Luo An is shown love from afar


    From the direction of the airport, the LAPD chief pressed the answer button. Opposite him was one of his police superintendents.


    Several ways to escape LAPD hunted by Luo An did not care about it on the surface. In fact, after leaving the bank with the director, they immediately sent someone to search for several routes from the bank to the airport.


    ?Through careful investigation, several patrol policemen actually found a pile of explosives under a viaduct. The amount of explosives was enough to blow up the bridge.


    "good, very good!"


    The LAPD chief praised the superintendent repeatedly, with a smile on his old face and said:


    ��Is the time requested by the robbers coming soon? We can let them drive to the airport! We can catch them all on the road or at the airport!��


    Hearing what his chief said, the superintendent on the other end of the phone looked a little embarrassed.


    After a pause for a few seconds, he said that the robbers had been solved by the FBI. The particularly young deputy leader of the Special Investigation Team went deep into the bank alone, cooperated internally and externally, and killed four robbers in one fell swoop.


    ����


    The smile on the LAPD director''s face froze, and he slowly fell silent.


    ??The superintendent on the other end pondered for a few seconds, and just as he was about to speak, the LAPD chief said again:


    ��Then contact the media immediately and hold a press conference now! We are better at this than the FBI!��


    ? It was the FBI who killed the robbers, but the LAPD had been controlling the scene from beginning to end and also discovered the explosives prepared by the robbers. They still deserve credit, so they must blow them out now.


    The size of the work is not important, it must be known and seen.


    After all, he is an experienced veteran who has been the chief of the LAPD for many years. In just a moment, he thought about the speech he would give at the press conference.


    ??There is also the deputy leader of the Special Investigation Team, Roan Greenwood. The LAPD director found that this is a very good talent, and he can contact him more in the future.


    The "Commonwealth Bank" robbery happened suddenly and ended quickly.


    ??When Luo An walked out of the bank door at the lead, the case came to a successful conclusion.


    ?Standing in front of the bank, Luo An raised his head and looked at the SWAT team members inside the police line. The rescued hostages had sweat and dust on their faces, as if they were stage lights, making Luo An''s handsome face even more dazzling.


    ?The reporters not far away seemed to be going crazy, pressing the shutters frantically to take pictures of the scene, and there were also several curses such as "Where is my camera?".


    ??Lexi, who was standing behind Luo An, glanced over there calmly, raised her head and raised her chest, her expression unchanged, she didn''t know anything.


    That afternoon, the entire bank robbery was published in newspapers, news and magazines.


    This is Hollywood after all, and sending news a minute late is disrespectful of the speed of reporters here.


    ?This bank robbery was successfully solved at an extremely fast speed with the sincere cooperation of the FBI and LAPD.


    ?Due to the special request of Roan and team leader Potente Byrne, there was no photo of Roan in the newspaper, only "Deputy Chief of the FBI Special Investigation Team Roan Greenwood", a series of reports of on-the-spot command.


    The report also devoted a large space to describing the record of a total of eight robbers. Deputy leader Roan Greenwood entered the bank alone and killed four of them by himself.


    I don��t know if the reporter who wrote this report has written a script for a movie before. In his writing, Luo An seems to have become a superhero in the movie, a lone hero, not afraid of death, brave and resourceful...


    The culture of the Federation has always worshiped heroes who succeeded in saving the world alone. As soon as this report came out, the name Roan Greenwood immediately resounded in Los Angeles, and the sales of the newspaper exploded.


    Many of them were dismissive, saying that these reporters were exaggerating and could not be believed at all.


    However, the hostages at the bank who had seen the whole struggle between Luo An and the robbers came forward one after another, saying that the reporters did not lie, and even the content they wrote was far inferior to the real Luo An. Luo An''s handsome face was not inferior to that group of movie stars. , several female hostages even started courting through the air.


    Because of the words of these female hostages, the name Roanne Greenwood became more and more popular, and the hot momentum completely overwhelmed the LAPD director''s press conference. No one cared that the LAPD discovered the robbers'' back-up preparations, and even No one scolded them.


    LAPD Director: ������


    As for the interior of the FBI Los Angeles branch building, although Luo An''s photo was not published in the newspaper, as word of mouth spread among the SWAT team members who participated in the on-site operation, everyone in the building knew that the young and handsome deputy team leader was Luo An. .


    So when Luo An took Mona and Lacey back to the headquarters, when he parked the car and walked into the building from the parking lot, all the agents on the road looked at Luo An differently.????Some are afraid, some admire, some are afraid, and some are curious.


    But no matter what they were thinking in their hearts, when Luo An walked in front of them, all kinds of emotions immediately turned into respect.


    ��Good afternoon, sir!��


    ��Good afternoon, sir!��


    The detectives greeted him one after another.


    Luo An nodded: "Good afternoon."


    Without stopping, Luo An took the elevator back to the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team. Luo An casually pulled up a chair and sat down, stretching his waist vigorously.


    ��No one is looking down upon our special investigation team now.��


    ?Mona and Lacey followed closely behind. Lacey poured herself a cup of coffee and smiled:


    "But Luo An, you are so famous this time, I''m afraid you will have a little trouble solving the case in the future."


    ��Please call me deputy team leader, thank you.��


    ?Luo An replied casually, then moved his chair and came closer to Mona.


    ?Mona didn��t talk to Luo An much along the way. She was obviously angry because she was worried about his safety during this operation.


    ?? He put his arms around Mona''s slender waist, suppressing the other person''s unhappy struggle, and with a few sweet words, Mona''s unhappiness immediately dissipated.


    Lacie: ������


    ?Seeing the man and woman openly making love to each other in front of her, Lacey rolled her eyes, took out her cell phone and started sending a message to the landlord who lent her the motorcycle.


    She learned something new from someone last night, and Lacey wants to show it to her landlord tonight.


    Lacey quickly stared at her phone, immersed in her own world with a smile on her face. Mona next to her broke away from Cairo An''s arms and said in a condensed voice:


    ��Luo An, this operation is really too dangerous.��


    Just as Luo An was about to explain, Mona continued:


    ��I know you want to say you are sure, but bullets don��t have eyes. How can you guarantee that you won��t get hurt every time?��


    ��Don��t worry, Mona, it won��t happen again.��


    ?Luo An blinked. He didn��t know how to talk to anyone but himself about the system in his mind, so he comforted Mona and said:


    ��After this incident is over, our special investigation team will definitely need to recruit people.


    We can recruit a few guys with good skills and good marksmanship in the future. Then I will sit at home like August and don��t have to do it myself. "


    ??Mona nodded silently when she heard this, and then kissed the corner of Luo An''s mouth gently.


    ??Luo An held Mona in his arms and was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly remembered the little thing he had found under the hacker''s body.


    ?Just when he was about to ask Mona, there was a sudden knock on the door of the special investigation team office area.


    ?Mona immediately separated from Roan, and Lacey also raised her head.


    Luo An picked up the coffee and said loudly:


    "Enter!"


    The visitor opened the door with a serious face. It was Potente Byrne, the team leader.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 287： How to divide the banks losses and the $8 million

    Chapter 287 How to distribute the bank��s losses and the US$8 million


    ?Pushing the door open, Potente-Byrne saw the new desks and chairs in the office area, as well as the computer on the desk, and smiled softly.


    ??He already knew what happened last night, the leader of the No. 4 investigation team, Morton York, came here with his agents to rob people, but several of his men were overthrown by Luo An alone.


    From Potente-Byrne''s point of view, it was very normal for Luo An to kill four robbers by himself and easily defeat the ordinary agents of Investigation Team No. 4, and he also kept his hands.


    ??The fact that Luo An exchanged his driver for a lot of things later made Potente-Byrne look at Luo An with admiration and even more satisfied.


    ?This means that Luo An is not only good at skills and brains, but also understands office politics or higher-level politics.


    After all, one of the essences of federal politics is the exchange of interests.


    ��Hello, sir.��


    Seeing that the person coming was Potente Burn, the three of Luo An immediately stood up.


    "No need to be like this, sit down, I''m here to see Luo An."


    ?Potente-Bourne waved his hand and motioned for Mona and Lacey to sit down as before. Roan nodded when he knew the other party''s intention, and led him into the team leader''s office next to him.


    ?At this time, the office was extremely clean, with nothing but air, so Luo An took two chairs from the office area outside.


    Roan poured Potente-Born another cup of coffee and said with a smile:


    ��After all, I just came to Los Angeles and the office hasn��t been cleaned up yet.��


    ? Potente-Bourne took the coffee and raised his eyebrows slightly:


    ��Really, where did the tables, chairs and computers outside come from?��


    Luo An smiled and replied:


    ��A gift from a kind-hearted person.��


    Potente Byrne smiled and said nothing. Morton York, the leader of Investigation Team No. 4, was not a kind guy.


    ?Taking a sip of coffee, Potente-Born stopped talking nonsense about this matter and began to change the topic to business:


    ��The losses on the ��Commonwealth Bank�� side have been calculated, and the apparent loss is US$1 billion.��


    It was said to be 1 billion U.S. dollars, but Potente Byrne checked through various connections and found that none of the fund projects of the well-known film company foundations had suffered losses, so how was the 1 billion U.S. dollars calculated? It is impossible to determine whether it is true or false.


    Roan''s eyes moved slightly, and he noticed the key words in Potente-Bourne''s words:


    ��On the surface?��


    ? Potente-Byrne nodded, and then gave Roan an indescribable look.


    After the previous operation ended, before the hacker��s body was pulled out of the room by the Trace Inspection Section agents, a group of bank executives rushed in with several technicians holding computers.


    The computer was turned on and the server was connected to a complex system operation. A technician whispered something into the ear of a bank executive. A lot of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the bank executive. The elderly white man also took a deep breath. Several times.


    Seeing the other party''s appearance, Potente-Byrne simply did not believe that their loss was only one billion US dollars.


    ??But the bank executives refused to allow FBI agents to intervene in the server, so he didn��t know the exact amount of the loss.


    Potente-Byrne didn''t bother to know. Anyway, the bank robbers had been solved and the FBI had done its job. He was not interested in the dirty things inside the bank. The one who was interested should be the IRS.


    ? Luo An was not interested in this either, but he thought of another thing:


    ��Sir, did the bank tell you what the chances are of getting the money back?��


    "have no idea."


    Potente-Byrne does not understand these things. However, an agent from the Trace Inspection Section who specializes in computers later explained to him that if the hacker��s computer was still there and the USB flash drive was there,


    They may be able to find the program set up by the other party to transfer money through reverse calculation through a computer bug specially made by hackers to break through the bank''s server protection wall.


    ?Although banks can now find account numbers for money transfers, there must be a lot of them. The money was definitely not transferred only once. It is normal for each money to be transferred hundreds or even thousands of times, so it is impossible to find out the final destination of the money.


    ??The only hope was the computer and USB flash drive, which were burned to pieces by fire.


    Detectives from the Trace Inspection Section said that the two chips had been burned into carbon, making technical recovery impossible.


    ? Luo An swallowed his coffee and concluded:


    ��The hacker is dead, the robber leader Jack is dead, and the computer USB flash drives are all scrapped. There is a high probability that the bank will not be able to recover the money that was stolen from them.��


    ��That��s right.��


    Potente Byrne patted Luo An on the shoulder and said that the whereabouts of the money had nothing to do with the FBI. The performance of bank executives showed that the money they lost was probably dirty. If there was really an investigation, it would be the IRS''s turn.


    Drinking the coffee in one gulp, Potente-Born looked at Roan and said seriously:


    ��Forget about the aftermath of this case! Luo An, your performance today is very good, far beyond my expectations! Well done!��


    ��It��s all under the command of the commander.��


    ?Luo An replied with a smile.


    The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and chatted for a few words. Luo An asked:


    ��Sir, when will the thank you payment promised by the bank be received?��


    ��I��m afraid it will take a while.��


    ?Eight million US dollars is not a small amount of money, and it is impossible for the guys who want to read and write in banks to take out this money very quickly.


    ?But defaulting on arrears is even more unlikely. This is the US$8 million promised before. The LAPD and FBI are not kind-hearted institutions that are easy to talk to.


    How to distribute this money, the FBI will definitely get the lion''s share, so the LAPD will most likely only get $1.3 million, the SWAT team will get $800,000, and the remaining $5.9 million belongs to the FBI alone.


    The $5.9 million was divided among several other departments involved in the case, including Team Director Potente Byrne, FBI Los Angeles Division Director, Deputy Director, Special Agent in Charge, and the FBI Financial Facilities Department, leaving the rest. The approximately US$3 million invested belongs to Luo An''s special investigation team.


    ?On the surface, the special investigation team only received 3 million out of the 8 million U.S. dollars in gratitude, but in fact, the director, deputy director, special agent director, etc. all received a sum of money, which meant that Luo An directly entered the high-level attention.


    If the senior management is satisfied, the subsequent work life will definitely be smoother.


    After the Finance and Facilities Department received the money, it would normally use part of it to improve the office conditions of various departments. Within this scope, Luo An''s special investigation team would definitely receive some minor care, so another sum of money was returned.


    ?Other unfamiliar departments in the building will definitely treat Luo An much more kindly afterwards. After all, the funds they received were obtained by Luo An, so Luo An will definitely have an easier time handling cases in the future.


    ��By the way, your special investigation team is still missing some members, right?��


    When Potente Byrne was about to leave the special investigation team, he suddenly thought of something and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Roan:


    ��This is the document I asked the director to sign.��


    ? Luo An took the document, which contained a notice that the special investigation team could choose its own team members in any department or team of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch.


    ��Wow, thank you sir.��


    ?Such a great power made Luo An''s lips slightly raised. The money is not free. Isn''t this the door of convenience?


    "You''re welcome."


    Potente-Bourne waved his hand to indicate that Roan deserved it. After pondering for a few seconds, he asked:


    ��By the way, Luo An, are you interested in going overseas?��


    Luo An:?

    ?Seeing the doubtful look on Luo An''s face, Potente-Byrne began to explain patiently. Only then did Luo An know that the other person was a CIA who had been active overseas for many years when he was young.


    Hearing that Potente Byrne was interested in his skill and intelligence and wanted to recommend him to show off his skills overseas, Luo An immediately shook his head and rejected the other person''s suggestion.


    The Federation is a country with distinct classes. It treats the poor very unkindly, but it treats the rich very well.


    ??It just so happened that Luo An had also accumulated several million US dollars in small assets at this time, and could barely be considered a wealthy man.


    ?In this case, if he does not enjoy a sinful life in a capitalist society, he will go out and risk his own life to fight for the Federation if he is crazy.


    As for Potente Byrne''s statement that Washington would bury his force, Luo An didn''t care at all. When his status is higher in the future, he will most likely not need to go out and take action himself.


    When the time comes, having a bunch of lackeys...a bunch of agents at your disposal will be no more satisfying than going out and wielding the knife yourself.


    ?Of course, you can''t say this in an explicit rejection, so Luo An repeatedly expressed that Veranith had been kind to him, and he would not say goodbye without saying goodbye.


    Potente Byrne didn''t want to persuade him when he saw this. He just silently lamented that he was a bit unlucky and did not meet a talent like Roan Greenwood earlier.


    ?After a brief chat, Potente-Byrne left the special investigation team, and Luo An sat down on the chair in the office area again.


    Lacie put down her phone, raised her head and asked:


    ��Luo An, what were you talking about just now?��


    ��Please call me deputy team leader, thank you.��


    Luo An replied casually, turning on the computer on his desk and replied:


    ��The bank��s losses came out and were said to be one billion dollars.��


    ��What?��


    ��How can it be only this little?��


    Hearing this, Mona and Lacey were both slightly startled. Seeing Luo An give them a look, the two of them suddenly understood.


    ��As expected of a bank.��


    ??Mona muttered something in a low voice and continued to type on her laptop. Lacey also curled her lips, lowered her head and continued to compete with her mobile phone.


    Touching his pocket, Luo An looked at the startup screen of the computer, with a flash of light in his eyes.


    Inputting the URL and opening the website, Luo An logged into a familiar forum and was about to continue fighting with a familiar opponent. Mona suddenly showed him the screen of her laptop and asked:


    ��Luo An, we have received a lot of letters in the mailbox of our special investigation team.��


    ��What letter?��


    ��Self-recommendation letters and letters of recommendation.��


    ??Mona shrugged. After this bank robbery, Luo An successfully established a reputation for himself and their special investigation team. Many detectives now particularly want to join this newly emerged investigation team.


    ��There��s no rush, we��ll talk about it later.��


    ??Luo An glanced at it casually and stopped paying attention. He handed the notice in his pocket that Potente Bourne had just given to him to Mona and said softly:


    ��We��ll look for it ourselves later.��


    "Wow."


    ??Mona looked surprised when she saw the content in the notice, and Lacey was also a little shocked. However, she took Mona''s computer, opened a few letters, looked at them, and asked again:


    ��I can understand if you don��t read the recommendation letter, but don��t you want to read the self-recommendation letter too?��


    ??Lacie opened a few letters of recommendation at random, and the person who wrote the letter could come up with a lot of dazzling resumes. Each of them had their own pride, and no one was an ordinary person.


    ��We��ll talk about it later, we��ll talk about it later.��


    ?Luo An still didn��t raise his head, and he said the same thing.


    Lacey and Mona were immediately furious when they saw this. They grabbed Luo An''s chair and Mona asked condescendingly:


    ��Luo An, what do you think?��


    After all, this is about choosing teammates who can be relied upon to support them in future actions, so they cannot help but be careless.


    Roan on the chair looked up at Mona and Lacey, who had their hands on their hips. He smiled helplessly and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked them a question.


    ��If the choice was given to you, who would you choose as your teammate?��


    Lacie raised her hands very quickly, with excitement on her face:


    ��Female! Beautiful!��


    ��Get out!�� ??? Luo An glared at her angrily, Mona thought for a while and said:


    ��You are responsible for the home field and taking the lead in solving the case, I am responsible for checking the information online and on the computer, and Lacey is responsible for investigating the information offline.


    Because our special investigation team has a limited staff, we no longer need others in these three areas.


    ??Then what we lack is an agent who understands political procedures and can write documents, and an agent who is good at skills and marksmanship and can assume the previous role of Ryder. "


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An nodded and continued:


    ��And there is a high probability that these two people will follow us to solve cases in the future, so the candidates must be chosen carefully.


    Instead of checking letters of recommendation and self-recommendation letters one by one like a beauty pageant, it is better for us to contact each other personally in the process of solving the case in the future and find out the temperament and situation of the other person before we can decide on the specific candidates for these two positions. "


    For Luo An, teammates can have some shortcomings, such as Lacey, but they must be able to distinguish the importance at critical moments, let alone a pig.


    Pig teammates are far scarier than enemies.


    ��OK.��


    Mona and Lacey, who knew Luo An''s thoughts, nodded in unison. The plan to contact others first and then decide whether they could become teammates also perfectly considered their needs, so the two stopped entangled with Luo An and immediately turned around. Turn around and start...checking the mail on your computer.


    ??Mona wanted to find out what computer talents there were in the FBI''s Los Angeles branch, while Lacey discovered that there were many beauties from other departments, so she started frantically recording their contact information.


    ����


    Luoan had a toothache when he saw Lacey crazily saving phone numbers on his mobile phone. After thinking about it, he coughed and said:


    ��Lacie, there��s something you need to do.��


    "What''s up?"


    Hearing that there was a mission, Lacey immediately stopped what she was doing, put away her narrow eyes and turned to look at Luo An seriously.


    ??Luo An was very satisfied with this. This was the reason why he had never thought of excluding Lacey from the special investigation team. Once something serious happened, Lacey had always been very serious and never lost her temper.


    ?Pointing to the room next to him, Luo An said:


    ��Have you seen the team leader��s office?��


    Lacie nodded.


    Luo An took out a sum of money from the funds of the special investigation team, handed it to her, and said with a smile:


    ��It��s a little empty inside. Go get some office supplies and fill it up.��


    Taking the funds handed over by Luo An, Lacey rolled her eyes. She thought there was something big going on.


    ?Every woman doesn��t like spending money to buy things. Lacey made a show of preparing to pull Mona up and go with her. When Luo An saw this, he quickly stretched out his hand to stop her and said:


    ��Wait a minute, Lacey, go on your own, Mona has other things to do.��


    ??Mona turned back with doubts on her face. Lacey looked at Luo An and then at Mona. She pondered for a few seconds and made a sudden realization:


    "I understand, Luo An, and add an extra folding bed, right?"


    "roll!"


    "Hahaha��"


    ??Lacie dodged the kicks from Luo An and Mona, laughed and waved her hands, turned and left the special investigation team:


    ��I��ll definitely finish it for your office tomorrow morning!��


    ?Luo An rolled his eyes, and Mona was a little helpless. Then she turned to look at Luo An and asked:


    "what do I need to do?"


    "one little thing."


    ??Luo An stood up and walked to the door of the Special Investigation Team office area. He found that Lacey had completely left and there was no one else around, so he closed the door.


    ??Mona''s pupils shrank suddenly when she saw this scene, and she hurriedly backed away with her chair:


    ��Luo An! No! This is the office!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 289： Three small goals!

    Chapter 289 Three small goals!


    ?)


    ?Hearing Mona''s words, Luo An didn''t react at all for a moment. Only when he saw her retreating repeatedly did he realize that Mona was thinking wrongly.


    "You think too much!"


    ?? Luo An was speechless, it was all Lacey''s fault, she had led Mona astray!


    Lacie in the distance: ��?��


    ��Then what do you want to do?��


    ?Seeing that Luo An had no such idea, Mona breathed a sigh of relief.


    ?After all, this is the office area where serious cases are handled, and she will not do anything bad here.


    Luo An walked back slowly and said with a smile:


    ��I just want to learn something new from you.��


    Mona immediately stepped back again after hearing this:


    ��And you said you didn��t have any bad ideas!?��


    ???��


    ??Luo An stood there with his head raised and speechless. He planned to go back and teach Lacey a lesson so that she would stop telling little stories to Mona.


    Confirming that Luo An really didn��t have any bad thoughts, Mona breathed a sigh of relief, sat back at her desk again, and asked:


    ��What are you going to study?��


    ��Learn a little bit about computer money laundering.��


    ??Luo An sat next to Mona and said that this bank robbery case opened his eyes. He did not expect that the computer world could still commit crimes through such means.


    ?In a place like Hollywood, where money never sleeps, the chances of them encountering financial crimes in the future are definitely very high. Now they are learning some new knowledge. They don��t expect to become experts in computers. They just hope to find some clues when they encounter this type of crime in the future.


    ��OK.��


    ? Luo An��s reasons were well founded. Mona did not suspect anything. She turned on the computer and began to briefly introduce to Luo An how to conduct money laundering activities through the computer.


    ?A few hours later, Mona introduced Luo An to how to set up a program to make various transfers to various accounts around the world, so that the bank could not trace the knowledge.


    Because this aspect requires practical operation, Mona��s hacker nature exploded instantly, and she transferred a small amount of money in front of Luo An.


    Luo An: ����six.��


    After pouring a cup of coffee for Mona, Luo An studied some of the things he didn''t understand for a while and practiced briefly. After Mona found the mistakes and corrected them several times, Luo An left with Mona. Special Investigations Unit.


    That night, Luo An tried his best to make Mona fall into a deep sleep lying on the dripping sheets. He went back to his room to clean himself, drank a bottle of stamina potion, put on another set of clothes, opened the window and climbed out. .


    ??According to the preliminary investigation, Luo An borrowed a laptop with very good hardware configuration and a USB flash drive loaded with a lot of learning knowledge from a shop that dealt with stolen goods in the underground world of Los Angeles. He also conveniently kept a bottle of gasoline in the car.


    Luo An took them and quietly sneaked into the territory of another gangster.


    ?Taking out the USB flash drive, Luo An carefully opened it, and then took out the small thing he got under the hacker''s feet from his pocket:


    ?That is a flash memory chip of a USB flash drive.


    ?? After carefully installing the flash memory chip bit by bit, Luo An opened the laptop, looked at the startup interface of the computer, and took a deep breath.


    From the beginning of time travel to now, Luo An has never been so nervous.


    ??The money that this group of bank robbers took from the bank was definitely more than one billion, but because the money was unclean or had questionable sources, the bank refused to disclose the real information.


    ?As a hacker who is mainly responsible for transferring money, his computer and USB flash drive are definitely closely related to the money in the bank.


    ??The only problem now is that Luo An doesn��t know what is contained in the flash memory chip:


    ??Is it a computer bug created by hackers to invade the bank server, or a program to transfer money from a bank account, or it is directly the bank account number being transferred. Luo An has already made up his mind. If the flash memory chip contains the first two, he will burn the computer directly later, put the flash memory chip away again, and try again after learning more computer knowledge in the future.


    ??If it is a third party, then he will find a way in the future to secretly investigate all the information about Jack from birth to death, and then find a way to analyze the account password, and finally withdraw the funds in the account.


    ?At this time, the computer was ready. Luo An took a deep breath and slowly inserted the USB flash drive into the computer.


    Ding dong!


    The moment the USB flash drive was inserted, there was a soft sound from the laptop, and a few seconds later, a black interface popped up on the screen.


    ??On the black interface is not the bank account number to be transferred, but a lot of dazzling English letters and numbers.


    ��Could it be the program created by that hacker?��


    ?Luo An frowned and silently pulled down the letters. If this was the case, then he might need to continue learning computer knowledge in the future.


    ??But as Luo An continued to pull down the black interface, soon it was no longer complicated letters and numbers, but a bunch of very regular numbers and letters of different lengths with clear and identical intervals.


    "This is��"


    ??Luo An looked at the numbers and letters carefully, and carefully recalled the knowledge Mona taught today. After a few seconds of silence, his eyes suddenly lit up:


    ��These are TM��s bank account number and password!��


    If you want to transfer the money from hundreds of accounts to hundreds or thousands of other accounts, it is impossible to tap them one by one. You can only set up procedures in advance, and then those hackers can just press the keyboard and let hundreds of Funds in each account are transferred outward at the same time.


    ?These are the knowledge that Mona taught Luo An this afternoon and demonstrated it to him personally.


    ??However, what made Luo An a little confused was that he scrolled down the black interface to the end and found that there were only a dozen accounts in it, far from the dozens he thought.


    But this is not important. In order to prevent the USB disk from having a locating program or the bank discovering these accounts, Luo An immediately followed Mona''s instructions and created several accounts in several countries in Africa and South America, and then entered the black interface one by one. The money from the account is transferred to these accounts.


    The process of transferring money also uses batch and multi-level transfer techniques of money laundering methods.


    A few minutes later, Luo An looked at the total funds of 300 million US dollars in several accounts and grinned uncontrollably.


    ��Fu-k! Fu-k! Fu-k!��


    ?Luo An clenched his fists with excitement. This was the largest amount of money he had ever seen in his two lives combined!


    A small goal was achieved just like that!


    No, it��s three!


    ??Luo An also saw the situation of the money now. It was impossible for them to be the money stolen by the robber leader Jack, because the goal of the group could never be so small.


    ?Furthermore, in the burning USB drive, the Trace Inspection Section agents saw the remains of the flash memory chip.


    ??So this flash memory chip is most likely a private product prepared by the hacker Ersodo Zarek Dujak himself.


    ��I want to get more money from Jack, but what Jack wants is your life.��


    ?Keeping in mind the account number and password where the money was located, he unplugged the USB flash drive, took out the flash memory chip, and broke the computer. Luo An poured gasoline on both of them and took out a lighter.


    Boom!


    ?Orange flames rose instantly, and the computer and flash memory chips were burned into pitch-black fragments in an instant.


    The gangsters not far away noticed the movement here, and immediately ran over with weapons, shouting, but when they arrived, all they had left at the scene was a pile of dark debris.


    Half an hour later, Luo An quietly returned to the apartment they rented from the window.


    After taking another shower, Luo An was about to walk into Mona''s room when the cell phone placed on the table in the living room suddenly rang.


    Pressing the answer button, Lacey''s solemn voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone:


    ��Luo An, something happened here.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 290： [The case of eight teenage corpses]

    Chapter 290 [The Case of Eight Teenage Corpses]


    An area west of Los Angeles.


    ? Luo An arrived here in the SUV of the special investigation team, and followed Lacey''s guidance on the phone to a relatively remote area.


    ?Although this area is relatively remote, it is brightly lit and the LAPD has set up a cordon.


    ��Hello, FBI Special Investigations Unit.��


    ? Getting out of the car, Luo An took out his FBI gold badge to show his identity. The LAPD who stopped him was surprised when he learned Luo An''s name. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to Luo An and said loudly:


    ��Hello, Deputy Leader Greenwood!��


    The LAPD patrol officer''s voice was a bit loud, causing the LAPD officers not far away to turn their heads. Then everyone looked at Luo An with expressions of shock or astonishment on their faces.


    ??The bank robbery occurred in the morning of this day. Roan Greenwood entered the bank alone and successfully killed four robbers without getting hurt. The story has been spread within the LAPD police station.


    They are all law enforcement departments. Every LAPD knows how difficult it is to do this. Regardless of the positions of different departments, most LAPD admire Luo An.


    ??And within the LAPD police station, there are some guys who are more confident in themselves and submitted letters of recommendation to the Special Investigation Team.


    "Hello."


    Hands out to shake hands with the LAPD who came up one by one, Luo An''s face was full of smiles.


    Suddenly I had the illusion that I had become a star.


    ?Seeing that Luo An was planning to enter the scene, a LAPD hurriedly set off a warning tape for Luo An.


    "Thanks."


    ?Luo An smiled and thanked the other party and walked into the cordon, and then saw Lacey outside the other cordon.


    ??Lacie was standing next to a big rock by the sea. Sitting on the big rock was a middle-aged white woman in cool clothes with a good figure and a beautiful face.


    But at this time, the white woman buried her head on Lacey''s belly, her body was shaking, and she was sobbing softly.


    He and Lacey looked at each other and nodded. Luo An turned his attention to the scene and found that there were four tents here, with a fire and barbecue in the middle. It was obviously a camping site.


    But at this moment, next to the fire at the camping site, eight pieces of white cloth were extremely eye-catching. There were eight corpses covered under them.


    ��Hello, I��m Sheriff Bill, Deputy Chief Greenwood. It��s an honor to meet you.��


    ��Hello, Mr. Sheriff.��


    ??Stretched out his hand to shake hands with the LAPD sergeant at the center of the scene again, Luo An asked:


    ��What��s going on at the scene?��


    ��Eight teenagers died while camping, within 4 hours.��


    Sheriff Bill looked at the white cloth at his feet and sighed, pointed at Lacey and the white woman not far away, and said:


    ��That person is the sister of one of the girls and the person who reported the crime.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An bent down, opened one of the white cloths and took a look. There was no external injury on the body, so he asked:


    ��Has the cause of death been found?��


    ��There is a high probability that it is a unique product.��


    Sheriff Bill��s face didn��t look very good:


    ��According to the documents on the victims, we found that these children were not yet adults, and we did not know who sold the items to them.��


    Sheriff Bill has a daughter who is about the same age as the deceased teenagers. She has been having a tantrum recently and has not spoken to him for a long time.


    ??And Los Angeles is a world-famous world of entertainment, with all kinds of temptations emerging in an endless stream. Sheriff Bill''s hair is almost turning gray because of his daughter''s hair.


    Beside the corpses, Luo An��s expression did not change when he heard that the causes of death of these victims might be unique.


    After coming to Los Angeles, he discovered that because of Hollywood and the group of stars, the uniqueness of Los Angeles cannot be described as a simple overflow compared to New York. It is simply an overflow that ordinary people cannot understand.


    Many bars or private parties even boast unique products such as cannabis.


    Although the LAPD Police Department has been cracking down on unique crimes, it is unable to effectively crack down on unique crimes on a large scale because of the group of wealthy celebrities, as well as the political friends or other wealthy people behind the wealthy celebrities. ��This case is left to you.��


    Sheriff Bill stood aside and answered the phone, briefly narrated a few words, walked over and looked at Luo An and said apologetically:


    ��Another case happened in Hollywood, and we really don��t have enough manpower.��


    Because of the existence of Hollywood, Los Angeles has ushered in unprecedented prosperity.


    ?But also because of Hollywood, the workload of LAPD police officers has always been high in the rankings of major cities in the federal territory.


    "no problem."


    Luo An took out his mobile phone and called the Trace Inspection Department and asked them to send someone here as soon as possible. Then he pointed to the road in the distance and asked:


    ��Is there surveillance there?��


    ��Sorry, no.��


    Sheriff Bill shook his head and said that this area was too remote and there were no surveillance cameras at all.


    Luo An was not disappointed. He just asked casually. After a brief discussion with Chief Bill, he turned and walked to the other end of the crime scene.


    ��Hello, ma��am, I��m Roanne Greenwood, deputy director of the FBI��s Special Investigations Unit.��


    ??Walking to the side of the big stone, Luo An explained his identity:


    ��He is also Lacey��s team leader.��


    The middle-aged white woman raised her head, stretched out her hand and shook hands with Luo An:


    ��Hello, Deputy Leader Greenwood, I know you.


    Just call me Vivian, I��m Lacey��s landlord. "


    ??Luo An discovered at a close distance that Vivian was far more beautiful than he expected, and she was no less beautiful than the female stars in Hollywood.


    ?Especially since Vivian is in her thirties this year, her mature temperament comes across her face and is very attractive.


    Luo An, who knew Lacey''s two-hour performance, glanced at her calmly, secretly feeling that he still underestimated Lacey, but the expression on his face remained unchanged and he said in a solemn voice:


    ��I would like to express my condolences about your sister. Can I ask you a few questions?��


    ��It doesn��t matter, just ask.��


    Vivian took out a piece of paper and wiped the tears on her face. Luo An did not ask the other party immediately, but turned his attention to Lacey.


    Upon seeing this, Lacey immediately understood what Luo An meant and explained:


    ��I have reserved the tables and chairs in the office tonight, and then Vivian and I will cook dinner together at home.


    ?After dinner, Vivian found that her sister Tina had not returned home yet, so she called her, but no one answered.


    Tina said that tonight was a party between classmates and left her address beforehand, so Vivian and I rushed here based on the address she left.


    Then I saw the situation at the scene. "


    ?Luo An nodded and asked Vivian:


    ��Does Tina have a history of eating flour?��


    ��No, there isn��t.��


    Vivian shook her head repeatedly:


    ��My parents have always paid close attention to Tina and disciplined her very well. She is a good child. She only drinks a little secretly on weekdays.��


    Tina, as the younger sister, is still in her teens this year, but Vivian, as the elder sister, is already in her thirties...


    Silently admiring the appearance of the two sisters'' parents, Luo An continued to ask:


    ��Is there anything abnormal in Tina��s recent behavior or attitude towards daily life?��


    Vivian continued to shake her head:


    ��Tina is still an adolescent girl, and her temper will definitely be abnormal, but this is all normal and nothing special.��


    ??After asking a few more questions, but still getting nothing, Luo An thought for a while and finally asked:


    ��Can you give us Tina��s mobile phone? There may be clues in it.��


    "no problem!"


    Vivian nodded repeatedly and repeatedly asked Luo An to help find the murderer of her sister''s death.


    Not long after, agents from the Trace Inspection Section arrived here. Luo An comforted Vivian with a few words and turned to walk towards the scene. At this moment, Lacey suddenly followed and whispered in Luo An''s ear:


    ��Luo An, I know something about Tina, this girl����


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 291： Let people who have hurt you make money for yourself

    Chapter 291: Let people who have hurt you make money for yourself


    ?Hearing Lacey say that she knew about Tina, Luo An was slightly startled, turned around and asked:


    "what happened to you?"


    ����don��t think wrongly, okay?��


    ??Lacie threw a pair of hygiene **** to Luo An. Although she was a lesbian, as a federal law enforcement officer, she knew nothing about breaking the law. The other person was still underage, so she would not pay attention to him at all.


    Roan believed that Lacey was not lying on this point, so she asked:


    ��What exactly happened?��


    ��This Tina is not just an ordinary, simple girl as she appears.��


    Lacie said that when she first moved into Vivian''s apartment, she habitually placed some safety devices in her room, and then the next day she found that things in her room had been tampered with.


    Although nothing was lost, Lacey was instantly vigilant and immediately began to investigate secretly. Then she discovered that the person who sneaked into her room was actually the landlord''s sister, Tina, who was still in high school.


    When the two met for the first time, Lacey didn''t notice anything strange about Tina, but after a private investigation, Lacey was immediately given a big surprise.


    ��This Tina appears to be just a high school student, but in fact she has accumulated far more money than her sister Vivian imagined.��


    ??Lexi took a deep breath, the expression on her face was very serious, but her eyes still showed a bit of shock:


    ��Tina is a very smart girl. When she first came to Los Angeles to attend high school, she suffered from some problems in school because she was unfamiliar with the place. Later, after her grades improved, she learned less about such things.��


    ��OK.��


    ? Luo An opened his mouth and chose to believe Lacey on this point. After thinking about it carefully, he asked about a point that he was more confused about:


    "But according to Vivian, their parents control Tina very strictly. How did Tina do the above things?"


    ��That was in middle school.��


    ??Lacie glanced at Vivian sitting on the big rock in the distance and whispered:


    ��Tina��s parents are not in Los Angeles. It is only because Vivian is in Los Angeles that they allow Tina to come to Los Angeles to attend high school and hope that Vivian will take good care of her sister.


    Vivian is a young actor working in Hollywood. She is so busy that she has no time to pay close attention to Tina. She can only supervise her sister through phone calls or other methods.


    ??Tina is very smart, rarely showing flaws in her work, and her grades have always been very good and have not declined, so Vivian has never discovered the other side of her good sister. "


    ��six.��


    ?Luo An was silent for a few seconds, looking at the beautiful girl''s body being carried away by the Trace Inspection Department in the distance, feeling very emotional.


    School violence is a chronic disease in federal society, so there are many cases of various **** incidents, and countless students, teachers and parents are killed or injured every year.


    But this was the first time Luo An had seen Tina do this.


    ��Go back and comfort Vivian, remember to go to work on time in the morning.��


    ??Luo An patted Lacey on the shoulder, raised his hand and yawned.


    There were a lot of things going on this night. Helping Mona fall into a deep sleep took a lot of time and energy from him. Going out to play with the computer and get the chip didn''t take much energy, but it took a lot of time.


    As a result, another large-scale murder case has occurred.


    ?Although with the support of physical strength potion, Luo An''s body will not feel tired, but the physical fatigue cannot be eliminated by physical strength potion.


    "no problem."


    Seeing Luo An yawning in distress, Lacey''s eyes flashed with understanding. She patted Luo An on the shoulder and whispered:


    ��I know some tricks that can quickly defeat the enemy without much effort. Do you want them?��


    ??Lacie didn''t feel like she had any problem with Mona by saying this. Anyway, she was the final beneficiary.


    "Um?"


    ??Luo An, who had just killed four people during the day, subconsciously thought it was a killing technique. However, Lacey''s skills were limited and he turned his head in confusion. Seeing the light in Lacey''s eyes, Luo An realized that she was talking about a killing technique.


    "snort!"


    ?Snorted coldly, Luo An, who had a system in his mind, was confident in his own physical strength, and there was no need to learn anything from Lacey, a lesbian.


    Lacey thought that Luo An��s cold snort meant he was going to reject her. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Luo An suddenly whispered in her ear:


    ��Go back and compile it into a report and give it to me quietly.�� ?????����


    ?Selectively ignoring Lacey''s speechless face, Luo An strode away with a righteous look on his face.


    It��s not that I��m not confident in myself, it��s mainly because there is an old saying in the East across the Pacific Ocean: There are too many skills to overwhelm the body.


    Luo An has always been a person who likes to learn new knowledge.


    ����


    The next day, outside the morgue gate of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch.


    ��Hello, Deputy Leader Greenwood, my name is Paul.��


    ??The forensic doctor here is a chubby, very fat, bald, middle-aged white man who loves to laugh and looks to be in his forties.


    ��Hello, Paul.��


    ?The other person��s smile was contagious, and Luo An also grinned:


    ��Just call me Luo An.��


    Paul has been working here for twenty years. Although his rank is not high, the polite Luo An respects his seniors.


    ��Then I��ll call you Deputy Team Leader Luo An.��


    Forensic Paul smiled and handed Luo An a mask, saying that he had heard about Luo An''s behavior in the bank robbery case and admired Luo An. He also said that if he were twenty years younger, he would definitely recommend himself to the special investigation team. letter.


    ?Luo An took the mask without wearing it. He smiled and exchanged greetings with Paul, and then brought the topic down to business:


    ��How about it, have the autopsies been done on the eight corpses last night?��


    ?Seeing Luo An take the mask but not wearing it, forensic doctor Paul''s smile became even brighter. He pushed open the door of the morgue and said as he walked:


    ��I and several colleagues have finished the work, but we haven��t written the autopsy report yet.��


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Looking at the eight corpses in the room, Luo An chose to ignore the smell in the room and asked:


    ��What was their cause of death?��


    ��Drug overdose.��


    Forensic doctor Paul pulled up a chair and sat down, folding his hands on his chest:


    ��We found fentanyl and carfentanil in the stomachs of these eight deceased people.��


    ��Deadly combination.��


    Luo An was speechless. Carfentanil was usually used to anesthetize elephants. These young men only weighed more than 100 kilograms, so how could they compare to an elephant weighing several tons.


    ��Are there any other situations?��


    "have."


    ?Paul took Luo An into the depths of the morgue, lifted up the white cloth on one of the corpses, and said:


    ��This girl��s situation is a little more complicated than others.��


    ?Luo An looked down and found that the girl was Vivian''s sister Tina.


    ��What��s complicated?��


    ?Paul took a piece of paper from the side and handed it to Luo An. Luo An glanced at the content on it, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated.


    Ten minutes later, Roan returned to the special investigation team. Mona was sitting on a chair calmly drinking coffee, while Lacey was far away from Mona, lowering her head and writing something.


    ?Seeing Luo An come back, Lacey immediately closed the folder on the table:


    ��How is it, do you have any clues?��


    "certainly."


    Roan handed the paper in his hand to Lacey. Just as he was about to ask Mona how the investigation of the eight deceased people was going, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    Tina��s behavior in this case was not fabricated by the author, but something that really happened in South Carolina. It can only be said that Great America is indeed a leading country, and its version has always been at the forefront of the world...

 Chapter 292： What to do with the IRS and $300 million

    Chapter 292 How to deal with the IRS and US$300 million


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ?Taking out his cell phone, Luo An found that the person calling him was Potente Byrne, the team leader. The other person said that he had something to do and asked him to go to the office.


    ��OK.��


    Nodding and hanging up the phone, Luo An asked Mona and Lacey to wait for a while, then turned and left the office area.


    ?Mona didn''t care either, and turned around to continue typing on the computer, but found Lacey looking at the report in her hand with a complicated expression.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Lacie licked her lips and did not answer, but just handed the report to Mona.


    Taking the report, Mona found that it showed that the deceased named Tina had drug residues in her body, including fentanyl and carfentanil, as well as drugs that could cause coma.


    ?At the same time, Tina��s two wrists and two ankles had bruises from being pinched hard, and her lower body was also violently violated.


    ??Tina did not have any traces of her attacker��s white genetic material in her body, but dimethicone was detected.


    ?This ingredient was found in the remaining four male deceased.


    ?Mona looked up at Lacey. She also learned about Tina''s other side from Lacey this morning.


    ?These contents in the report clearly tell what Tina experienced last night.


    The two women in the office area looked at each other and fell silent.


    ?On the other side, Luo An stood in the elevator, with his hands in his pockets, silently guessing why Potente Byrne called him to the office this time.


    ? There is a high probability that it is not the 300 million US dollars that I got last night, otherwise the other party would not ask me to go to the office, but bring a bunch of people to the door in person.


    ?How to deal with these 300 million US dollars? Luo An does not plan to transfer them immediately into the federal territory, but plans to continue to use money laundering methods in the future to continue transferring the money in batches and at multiple levels.


    Luo An plans to do this process three times again. There is nothing wrong with being careful. Only by being cautious can you sail a ten thousand year boat.


    ?After three transfers, Luo An plans to register some accounts in tax havens such as the Cayman Islands and Panama and deposit the money into them in batches.


    As for the legendary "world''s safest bank" Swiss Bank, Luo An only plans to deposit a little amount of money in it that matches his apparent worth.


    After all, based on the experience of his previous life, he knew that the "neutral position" of this so-called "permanent neutral country" was too Schr?dinger, and Luo An did not want to expose himself because of their cunning operations.


    ??Arriving at the office of team leader Potente Byrne, Luo An knocked on the door and pushed the door open after receiving permission:


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    ��Good morning, sit down.��


    Potente-Bourne pointed to the chair in front of his desk. Roan sat down and asked directly without any nonsense:


    ��I don��t know what the mission is for me, sir?��


    ��It��s not a task, I just need to explain some situations to you.��


    Potente-Bourne leaned back and crossed his legs, crossed his hands on his knees, looked at Luo An and said:


    ��In the previous bank robbery case, the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CI) began to participate in the investigation.��


    The expression on Luo An''s face did not change, he had already guessed this.


    ?There is an old saying in the Federation: Only death and taxes are eternal.


    Although every major consortium in the federation has its own banks, these banks also need to pay taxes.


    One of the largest taxes is the "federal income tax", which is the bulk of the federal government''s annual funding for various social undertakings.


    ??In this bank robbery case, the bank refused to disclose to law enforcement agencies how much money they had been robbed by the robbers. This was a violation of federal tax laws, and it was only natural for the IRS to take action.


    ?However, Luo An did not panic. The IRS took action. The most they could do was investigate how much money had been robbed from the bank. It was impossible to recover the money. After all, the money has been in bank accounts in many countries around the world, jumping left and right many times.


    Thinking of this, Luo An also crossed his legs. Potente-Bourne called him here today for no other reason than this.


    ?As expected, Potente-Byrne paused for a few seconds and continued:


    ��There were two waves of people involved in this bank robbery, the robbers headed by Jack, and the driver and mercenaries who wanted to kill him and silence him.


    We have found out Jack''s identity. He is the former leader of a certain action team of a federal law enforcement department. The six robbers were all soldiers before he left that department. "


    Speaking of this, Potente-Born looked at Roan with surprise and regret in his eyes again.


    The reason why I was surprised was that the information showed that the six guys were not ordinary soldiers. Each of them had sufficient battlefield experience, but Luo An still killed three of them without any injuries.


    The reason for regret is that Luo An is not his subordinate, and he has no intention of switching to his own.


    Roan selectively ignored the look in Potente-Bourne''s eyes and asked with a smile:


    ��What about the group of mercenaries that the driver belongs to? Have their specific circumstances been found out?��


    "snort!"


    Hearing this, Potente Byrne snorted coldly, saying that the No. 4 Investigation Team successfully found two of the people last night, but failed to catch the other alive.


    ?The group of robbers drove a total of six cars, one of which was killed by Luo An and captured a driver.


    ?The people in the remaining four cars died in the street shootout that night, so only the people in one car managed to escape.


    There were three people in this car. Two of them died during the rough operation of the No. 4 investigation team last night. The whereabouts of the last one are still unknown.


    According to the information investigated by the No. 4 Investigation Team, the last person was the "temporary captain" mentioned by the driver.


    Unfortunately, the No. 4 Investigation Team only guessed the identity of the other party among the mercenaries, but did not find any photos or other information clues about the other party.


    ��Wow, what a cautious guy.��


    After listening to Potente Byrne''s description, Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly and was a little surprised by the captain. The opponent''s anti-reconnaissance capabilities and other methods were obviously extraordinary.


    Then Luo An laughed. Investigation Team No. 4 is indeed a very powerful investigation team, but it is not an ordinary difficulty to find someone who deliberately avoids them in Los Angeles, a big city with a population of more than three million. .


    After talking about this, Potente-Byrne finally revealed the reason why he called Luo An to his office today, that is, he wanted to ask him if there were any clues related to the driver and the mercenaries.


    ?Luo An shook his head. He really didn''t hide any clues before and refused to report them. After all, it didn''t make much sense to do so.


    After thinking about it, Luo An added:


    "I think we can focus on investigating the specific situation of Jack later. He may be related to the mercenary captain."


    "All right."


    ?Seeing Luo An shake his head, Potente-Bourne sighed. In doing so, he was treating a dead horse as a living doctor, and he didn''t actually think that Luo An had deliberately concealed clues.


    It''s just a habit accumulated over the years, and I always feel uncomfortable if I don''t ask about it.


    ��By the way, be sure to pay more attention when traveling in Los Angeles in the future.��


    At the end of their conversation, Potente-Byrne said seriously:


    ��After all, you killed members of that group of mercenaries. We cannot rule out the possibility that the ��temporary captain�� may attack you.��


    ��OK, thank you, sir.��


    ? Luo An grinned, indicating that he understood, then turned and left the office.


    ? Pushing open the door of the special investigation team, Luo An was surprised to find Lacey and Mona arguing loudly about something.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 293： Relationships that could fill a book

    Chapter 293: Interpersonal relationships that could fill a book


    ??In the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, Mona and Lacey immediately stopped arguing when they saw Luo An opening the door and walking in.


    ?Mona and Lacey''s loud argument startled Luo An. He originally thought Er Er had some irreconcilable conflict.


    ??But seeing that the two of them only looked a little embarrassed after they stopped arguing, and not as expected, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked:


    ��What��s going on with you?��


    "Forehead��"


    Lacey and Mona looked at each other and were awkwardly silent for a few seconds. Finally, Mona pointed to the computer in front of her and explained:


    ��We are just arguing about the relationship between the eight deceased people.��


    ?)


    ?Luo An looked confused, and then Lacey handed him a piece of paper.


    On the white paper are the names of the eight victims, which are connected by lines. The relationships between them are marked on them, such as friends, boyfriend and girlfriend, intimacy, hatred, general, opposition, ambiguity, etc.


    ?Then Luo An was shocked to find that under each of the eight people''s names, there were at least five lines connecting them to other people.


    Among them, Tina is the most numerous. She and the other seven people are connected to at least two lines each.


    ����


    Luo An felt dizzy looking at the complex interpersonal relationships. He simply stopped checking and threw the paper aside and asked:


    ��What exactly is going on?��


    ??Mona tapped the computer keyboard a few times, displayed the identity information of the eight deceased people on the computer screen, and explained:


    ��The paper you gave us before contained the circumstances that Tina encountered before her death.


    But Tina is obviously a smart girl, so Lacey and I wanted to investigate what happened last night. "


    To this end, Mona pulled out all the message and chat records of the eight teenagers, checked and checked them one by one, and then Lacey and Mona drew the paper full of lines just now.


    Lacey sat on the chair next to Mona, holding the piece of paper in her left hand, pointing to the chat history on the computer with her right hand, and said:


    ��On the surface, Edwin and Lanresa are a couple, Klaus and Karen are a couple, Anthony has been pursuing Tina, and Melody and Ben have an ambiguous relationship.


    But privately, Lanressa and Ben, Anthony and Karen, Edwin and Melody..."


    ��OK! OK! STOP!��


    Eight people could write a book about the complex interpersonal relationships. Luo An''s head was swollen and his eyes were dizzy. He hurriedly raised his hands and shouted to stop the other person.


    Luo An was very moved when he saw the innocent looks in Mona and Lacey''s eyes and how easily the two of them figured out and casually told the relationship between the eight deceased people.


    Perhaps this is the difference between men and women.


    Taking a deep breath, Luo An concluded:


    ��So, what you are saying is that at the bonfire party last night, due to the role of contraband, all the hidden conflicts and problems between girls and boys broke out, eventually leading to their deaths, right?��


    "actually��"


    Lacey was about to continue explaining after hearing this, but Mona next to her immediately suppressed her, looked at the chat history on the computer, pondered for a few seconds and nodded:


    ��Small details are a little wrong, but overall there are no problems.��


    ��OK.��


    ? Luo An was relieved when he heard this, and then looked at Tina''s photo on the computer and felt a little regretful.


    Obviously, this Tina is a very smart girl. She held the other three girls tightly in her hands so that they did not dare to resist. She also deceived the four boys and had no idea that her girlfriend was doing it behind her back. whats the matter.


    ?It''s a pity that Tina didn''t expect to be able to taste this kind of thing alone. The desire of the boys who took the medicine suppressed their reason, and the anger of the girls suppressed their fear.


    ? Luo An shook his head repeatedly, not knowing how to evaluate Tina''s short life.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An asked:


    ��Who brought the fentanyl and carfentanil? Have you found out?��


    The person has died, the truth has been revealed, and the reaction of the parents of teenagers after knowing the truth is what will happen later. The most urgent task now is to quickly find the person who sells this unique product to minors to prevent more teenagers from dying.


    ?Especially a terrifying unique product like carfentanil. Fentanyl is 100 times more effective than the analgesic drug morphine, while carfentanil is 100 times more effective than fentanyl.


    Only 0.02 grams can kill an adult weighing more than 100 pounds.


    ??If this horrible thing continues to be sold to teenagers in Los Angeles, who knows how many families will be ruined and disappeared.


    ��Of course I found it!��


    ?Mona said the clues were in the chat history.


    ?With a few simple keystrokes, Mona called up a copy of Anthony��s chat history, then pointed to the computer and explained:


    ��Forty minutes before the campfire started, he sent a message to a guy named Dingo asking if he had any regular gum.


    ?The other person said that the usual chewing gum was gone and he now had some more powerful little gum balls. "


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��It seems that Anthony has the habit of eating flour on weekdays.


    ??This "wild dog" is most likely the guy who sold him fentanyl. "


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Mona raised the chat history and set the time to 18 hours before the bonfire party. Pointing to a chat record, she said:


    ��At this time, Anthony said that he had bought medicine that could make people fall asleep.


    ??And told Edwin that he planned to drug Tina in her wine while she was drinking, and he no longer had the patience to spend time with Tina. "


    ��But there was no alcohol left in Tina��s stomach, which means she didn��t drink.��


    ??Luo An sat on the chair. He didn''t drink, which meant that Tina had already been prepared for last night''s party.


    But unfortunately, one girl is still unable to withstand the brute strength of four boys.


    Beauty and wisdom without the blessing of powerful force will eventually be destroyed by others.


    ??Lacie sat aside and cursed in a low voice. She now had a headache. How on earth was she going to tell Vivian about her sister later.


    ?Luo An continued to ask:


    ��Who is that ��wild dog��? Have you found out?��


    ��Wild Dog, his real name is Victor Kai Toma Jemol, a Peruvian, 25 years old this year, and a second-generation immigrant.��


    ?Mona tapped her fingers on the keyboard, and soon found a young man whose appearance was very obvious of mixed race.


    ��Do you have a criminal record?��


    ��Three counts of wounding with intent, one count of illegal possession of a firearm, and one count of carrying drugs in a public place. This guy just got out of jail five months ago.��


    ��Another young and promising young man with great ambitions.��


    ??Luo An is not surprised by this. Judging from the situation across the federation, in addition to the rich, a large number of second-generation immigrants will be affected by the "free" atmosphere of the federation and embark on a smooth path in and out of prison.


    Drinking the coffee in the cup, Luo An took Lacey into the equipment warehouse:


    ��Where does this guy live now?��


    ��A street in East Los Angeles!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 294： 360p480p, Outlook 1080p

    Chapter 294 360p480p, Outlook 1080p


    East Los Angeles.


    ??Lacie was driving an SUV on the road, and Luo An was sitting in the passenger seat and lowered his head to check the gun.


    ��Why am I driving this time?��


    Driving the SUV around an intersection, Lacey raised her own question.


    ��Because I didn��t sleep well last night.��


    ?Luo An yawned. He experienced a lot last night.


    "All right."


    Lacie glanced at Luo An, pondered for a few seconds, and whispered:


    ��I have finished writing the information you asked for, and it is now in the folder in the team leader��s office.��


    Lacie has always been very efficient in doing things. Last night she took the funds Luo An gave her to go shopping, and this morning the team leader''s office had a completely new look.


    The new desk and chair have been completed, and there is even a pot of green plant that Luo An doesn''t know the name of.


    ?But there is no new computer, so Luo An plans to go back and pick one of the six computers in the office area to take it in.


    ?In addition, there is a lot of free space in the office. Luo An originally planned to get a foldable sofa so that he could rest alone or together on weekdays.


    ?? But Mona said they won��t stay in Los Angeles for long, and buying a sofa is a waste of money.


    Under her strong protest, Luo An had to give up this plan.


    ??However, Luo An remembered this. There was a study room in the apartment they shared, and he planned to buy Mona some unique clothes suitable for the study background during future holidays.


    "Thanks."


    ?Hearing Lacey''s words, Luo An gave her an appreciative look, then ignored Lacey''s eye roll, turned his gaze to the car window, and silently opened the system page in his mind.


    In the previous bank robbery, Luo An drank a total of two bottles of potions, namely [Strength Potion] and [Featherfall Potion]


    After solving this case, the system gave Luo An an excellent rating, and the four treasure boxes opened were [Swift Potion x2] [Danger Sensing Potion x1] [Analgesic Potion x1]


    At this time, in Luo An��s system warehouse page, there is [Hemostatic Potion x5]


    ��Antidote x3��


    ��Swift Potion x2��


    ��Strength Potion x2��


    ��Sensitive Agent x2��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x4��


    ��Featherfall Potion x1��


    ��Stamina Potion x6��


    ��Sleep Potion x2��


    ��Scuba Potion x2��


    ��Weakness Potion x1��


    There are a lot of [Stamina Potions] in the warehouse page. This is because of the previous incident where Luo An''s Porsche exploded and killed the enemy. The system gave him an excellent evaluation the next day, but the four bottles of potions that were dispensed were all ��Stamina Potion��


    ? Luo An thought it might be that the system found that he had interacted with Mona too much recently and needed some stamina potion.


    ?The [Danger Sensing Potion] prescribed by the system after the bank robbery was taken out and poured into the stomach by Luo An as soon as it was prescribed.


    ?As expected by Luo An, the "emotional perception" ability in his mind has improved again.


    ??If Luo An''s perception of other people''s attitudes and emotions towards him were converted into resolution, it might not have been 360p at the beginning.


    Drink this new bottle of [Danger Sense Potion]. Although it does not reach 480p, 360p is more than enough.


    The progress seems a bit slow, but Luo An is not in a hurry. As long as he continues to solve cases in the future, [Danger Sensing Potion] will definitely appear more and more often. It is only a matter of time before it is gradually upgraded to 1080p or even 2k. He can afford to wait. .


    Luo An also made another discovery. When he first acquired the ability of "emotional perception", if he wanted to perceive the emotions of others, the distance was limited to face-to-face communication between himself and others, and the distance between the two people could not be too far apart. After drinking this new bottle of potion, Luo An was a little further away, about three to four meters.


    ��In other words, in the future, as long as someone is hostile to me within four meters, they will not be able to escape my eyes.��


    ?Squinting his eyes slightly, Luo An licked his lips.


    He is a little curious now, wondering which lucky person will be the first to experience this ability of his.


    ??Lacie drove at a very slow speed, and the two soon arrived at the community where "Wild Dog" Vidocq Kay Thomas Jemol lived.


    ?Getting out of the car, I walked into the community with Lacey, followed Mona''s guidance and walked into one of the buildings, and then met several LAPD who were handling the case.


    After revealing their identities and exchanging simple greetings with each other, Luo An and Lacey were shocked to discover that the subject of the case handled by the LAPD was actually the "wild dog" Vidoc they were looking for.


    ��Vidocq is dead?��


    ??Lacie opened the door and walked into the room rented by the other party, and asked with surprise:


    ��How did you die?��


    ��Judging from the rough conditions at the scene, he was suffocated with a pillow.��


    The leading LAPD sergeant stretched out his hand and shook Luo An��s hand, explaining:


    ��The deceased was already one week in arrears with his rent, and the landlord really didn��t want to wait any longer, so he brought someone to his door two hours ago to ask for rent.


    ??The landlord knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered, but the phone rang from the room, so the landlord took his own key and opened the door. "


    ��Then I saw Vidocq��s body.��


    ?? Luo An nodded, walked into the room, and followed the sergeant''s words.


    ��That��s right.��


    The LAPD sergeant followed Luo An and said that his colleagues briefly investigated the situation in the area. There was no surveillance in the building, there were no witnesses who noticed something was wrong, and no suspects could be found.


    However, the two entrances and exits of the community are monitored, and the LAPD has gone to investigate and may find something.


    Other than the landlord, the landlord��s brother and the deceased himself, no other person��s fingerprints were found at the scene, but the two landlords could testify to each other and the others could testify to the approximate time of the deceased��s death.


    ��Where��s the cell phone?��


    ?Luo An briefly looked through the scene and asked:


    ��Have you investigated the deceased��s mobile phone?��


    Just as the LAPD sergeant was about to answer, Lacey came over with a mobile phone in an evidence bag and said with a smile:


    ��The time is too short, the LAPD is busy processing the scene, and investigating the mobile phone is time-consuming. They plan to check it later.��


    The LAPD sergeant shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.


    ?There is no way, the LAPD police station has always been short of personnel, and every police sergeant has at least two cases in hand at the same time. This is completely normal.


    ��Thank you for your hard work.��


    ?? He casually comforted the other party, and seeing two LAPDs busy in the bedroom, Luo An continued to ask:


    ��Have you found anything unique in this room?��


    ��We found some marijuana.��


    ��What about the others? Like fentanyl in pill form, or carfentanil.��


    ��No, I didn��t find the two things you mentioned.��


    ?Seeing the LAPD sergeant shaking his head repeatedly, Luo An and Lacey looked at each other at the same time.


    The chat history between Anthony and Vidoc last night showed that Vidoc had just obtained the fentanyl and carfentanil not long ago, and he still had a lot left in his hands, so it was impossible to sell them out so quickly.


    ?These two drugs were not found in the room, indicating that they were either hidden by Vidocq in another place, or they were taken away by the person who killed Vidocq last night.


    ? ? After continuing to chat with the LAPD sergeant for a while, Luo An took over the murder case on behalf of the FBI Special Investigation Team, and then notified the agents from the Trace Inspection Division to come here to take over the LAPD''s handling of the scene.


    That afternoon, Lacey went to the Trace Inspection Department to obtain Vidocq��s autopsy report.


    ??Roan was sitting in the office area with a cup of coffee, and Mona was sitting in front of her computer. She had already opened Vidocq''s cell phone and found several interesting chat records in it.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 295： The real goal of the mastermind behind the scenes

    Chapter 295 The real goal of the mastermind behind the scenes


    ?On the computer, Mona mainly called up three chat records.


    In the first chat record, the person chatting with "Wild Dog" Vidocq was "Ben", one of the eight deceased.


    That is, the young man who had an affair with Melody and slept with Lanrisa.


    ?This chat record shows that the first person to meet Vidocq was actually "Ben". The two met in a bar where "Ben" worked as a summer job and earned pocket money.


    After the two got acquainted a little bit, "Ben" introduced Vidocq to Anthony, and Anthony quickly became familiar with Vidocq.


    ? Judging from this chat record, "Ben" didn''t find anything unusual from beginning to end.


    Roan and Mona, who were more experienced, could tell at a glance that Vidocq had been guiding each other when they were chatting.


    Let Ben introduce himself to Anthony, which is also the subtle role of Vidocq.


    ? Flipping through the chat history, Mona concluded:


    ��Actually, the person Vidocq really wanted to get close to was Anthony.��


    "Um."


    ??Luo An was noncommittal and turned to look for the family background information of the eight deceased people on Lacey''s table, and motioned to Mona to continue with the second chat record.


    The second chat record is calculated based on the time when the information was released. It was after Vidocq and Anthony had known each other for a while.


    The content inside is very brief. It mainly consists of a sentence sent by Vidocq to a burner phone:


    ��Anthony started eating sweets.��


    ??Disposable mobile phones reply to:


    ��Good, see you at the bar tonight.��


    ? ?Mona knows what the other person is talking about at a glance at the word "sugar" in the chat history.


    The current situation is obvious. The mastermind behind the scenes is targeting Anthony.


    ?The goal is most likely to get Anthony addicted to drugs bit by bit, and finally achieve his goal through Anthony who is addicted to drugs.


    ??But the other party did not expect that Vidocq gave the other party a combination of fentanyl and carfentanil last night. The two terrifying drugs were superimposed and sent Anthony and the other seven young men and women away directly.


    ��It cannot be ruled out that the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to kill Anthony with a unique product in order to take revenge on Anthony��s parents.��


    ?Hearing Mona��s analysis, Luo An responded smoothly.


    ??He successfully found the family backgrounds of the eight deceased people on Lacey''s table, and turned to Anthony''s page, which showed that his mother was an ordinary restaurant owner and his father worked for the Federal Transportation Security Administration.


    ??The Federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is an agency under the federal Department of Homeland Security and is responsible for the security of public transportation in the United States.


    The main responsibility of this department is to use various screening equipment and technologies to identify dangerous items in baggage, cargo and passengers, and to prevent these items from being carried on board the aircraft.


    ?Such as guns, ammunition, unique items, bombs, fire cans, poison gas and other dangerous goods.


    Before the establishment of this department, this work has been the responsibility of each airport, hiring third-party security personnel.


    ??However, the occurrence of the 911 incident severely slapped these third-party security companies in the face, prompting the federal government to establish the Federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to inspect federal citizens taking transportation on various transportation arteries across the country.


    Anthony��s father is a federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employee who works at Los Angeles International Airport.


    ??And he is also a small supervisor of ground work named Nassef.


    "Wow."


    Seeing the identity of Anthony��s father Nassef, Mona sighed with emotion and suddenly realized:


    ��If Anthony is successfully controlled to threaten his father Nassef, it will be very easy for the mastermind behind the scenes to make a lot of money by transporting unique products by plane, or to send bombs to hijack planes to cause terrorist incidents.��


    ��That��s right.�� Luo An nodded. The federal security check is very interesting. In order to ��respect human rights��, everyone who wants to pass the security check can choose to have it scanned by machine or have it checked by the staff of the Federal Transportation Security Administration.


    ??As for the specific content of the work that the Federal Transportation Security Administration staff personally inspected, the operability is not generally large.


    ? As far as Luo An knows, sometimes the FBI will greet this group of people from TSA in order to restrict certain people from leaving the country.


    Then this group of people will find contraband from unknown sources on the target person''s body or luggage, and finally force the target person to stay in the Federation.


    On the contrary, if a person successfully bribes the staff of the Federal Transportation Security Administration, then this person can choose to go through manual security inspection, then walk through it easily, and finally take the contraband and dangerous goods and take the traffic leisurely. tool.


    ?Luo An looked through Nasef''s specific information and found that his economic level was average, his financial status was good, and his colleagues also rated him very well.


    ??And he works very hard. In the past few years, he has used his rich experience to catch a dozen guys who tried to board the plane with contraband or dangerous goods, and was promoted to a small supervisor.


    ��Apart from the situation of wanting to use Antony to control Nassef, it cannot be ruled out that this is an act of revenge.��


    ?Luo An pointed out the contents of the paper to Mona, which showed that Nassef had found a guy carrying plastic explosives in his underwear more than a year ago.


    ??This kind of person wants to take revenge on Nassef, and there are too many reasons.


    ?Mona took the paper and nodded:


    ��I will investigate the situation of these people.��


    The crackling keyboard sound started to sound, and Lacey quickly opened the door of the Special Investigation Team and walked in with a few tapes in her arms.


    ��The specific autopsy report has not been released yet, but I have already asked about the autopsy results.��


    ��Well done.��


    ??Luo An praised the other party, then stood up and took the tapes from Lacey''s chest and asked:


    "What''s happening here?"


    ��This is some surveillance video found by the LAPD near the community where Vidocq died.��


    ?Ploping the remaining pile of tapes onto an unused desk with a crash, Lacey said that the surveillance systems in that neighborhood were relatively old, and the most traditional tape recorders were still used for surveillance.


    She said that when she left, she and a female LAPD patrol officer left each other''s contact information, and the other party promised her to send all the surveillance cameras later.


    Luo An��s mouth suddenly twitched when he heard this.


    when did it happen? Why didn''t he know?


    Since he and Lacey have been working together all the time and have never been separated, why didn��t he see Lacey chatting with the female patrol officer?


    Seeing Luo An��s shocked eyes, Lacey put her hands on her hips and was very proud.


    In terms of force, Lacey admitted that even five of them could not defeat Luo An.


    But as for women, Lacey dared to say that even ten Luo An could not compare with her!


    Snapped!


    ??Seeing the undisguised pride and arrogance in Lacey''s eyes, Luo An felt unhappy and picked up a folder, tapped her on the head, and then said with a righteous face:


    ��Tell me about Vidocq��s autopsy results!��


    "snort!"


    ??Laying a glance at Luo An, Lacey was very unhappy with his behavior of avenging public and private revenge, but she didn''t care and explained:


    ��The real cause of death was the same as the LAPD guessed, which was that he was strangled to death by others. The time of death was probably around 4:30 to 5:00 this morning.


    In Vidoc''s body, the forensic examiner detected some alcohol and food residues.


    Judging from their appearance, the forensic doctor believed that the time from when Vidoct ate them to the time of his death was less than an hour. "


    ��Good.��


    Just as Luo An was about to continue asking, Mona next to him suddenly pulled his arm, pointed at the computer and said:


    ��Luo An, look here!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 296： The William Mas Gang and the Discovery of Suspects

    Chapter 296 The William Mas Gang and the Discovery of the Suspect


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    Hand was pulled, Luo An followed Mona''s guidance and looked at the computer.


    ?In the computer interface, there is a young man wearing a federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uniform. He is one of Nassef��s men and is now dead.


    Seeing that the other party died in a street shooting, Luo An frowned slightly:


    "what happened?"


    ??Mona tapped the keyboard a few times to jump into another computer interface and explained:


    ��According to the FBI��s internal information, this guy helped the solitaire bring the souvenirs onto the plane, but the Federal Transportation Security Administration discovered something was wrong.


    ??This man is also a talent. He found out that the administration was suspicious of him and prepared to escape. However, before he could take any concrete action, he was silenced by the monopoly behind the scenes. "


    ��Tsk tsk tsk.��


    Lacey next to her came over. After hearing what Luo An and the two had just discovered, she smacked her lips and said:


    ��When the person below dies, it��s natural to choose someone higher up to protect you.


    ?So, this case was actually the work of a certain dealer in Los Angeles? "


    ��High probability.��


    Luo An replied, and then patted Mona on the shoulder:


    ��Let��s take a look at this case and see who the suspects are.


    Then cross-compare the interpersonal relationships with "Wild Dog" Vidocq to see if there are any overlapping guys. "


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona nodded and started typing on the computer keyboard. Roan turned around and waved the tape in his hand towards Lacey:


    ��Let��s check these surveillance cameras to see if there are any suspects or other clues related to Vidocq��s death.��


    "no problem."


    Lacey copied a tape and started working in front of her computer. Luo An sat in front of another computer and repeated the same steps with Lacey. While waiting, he asked:


    ��By the way, Lacey, did the forensic and trace examination department find anything else?��


    ��The trace examination department found nothing, but the forensic doctor has a guess.��


    Lacie replied while checking the surveillance footage in the videotape:


    ��The medical examiner said that the undigested food in Vidocq��s stomach looked like a set meal for two.


    So Vidocq must have dined with someone during his lifetime, and the other person was most likely a woman. "


    ����


    ? Luo An remained silent. Although this clue was described in words, an indescribable smell still hit his face.


    ?As time passed, the three of them quickly found some useful clues.


    The first is Mona. She followed Luo An��s instructions and successfully found a suspect through cross-reference.


    ��This guy��s name is Ryan. He has a juvenile record when he was ten years old and has been in prison.��


    ??Mona transferred a photo of a white young man to her computer, shook her finger and said:


    ��He is 28 years old and is one of the suspects in the previous case of killing Nassef��s subordinate.


    He had previously been in prison for assault with a firearm. Ryan and Vidocq had lived in the same cell and were fellow inmates.


    ?? Ryan was successfully released from prison a year ago. According to information from the FBI''s Los Angeles Division''s Organized Crime Investigation Section, after he was released from prison, this guy joined a medium-sized gang called the Wilmas in northern Los Angeles. "


    Luo An took a look at Ryan''s photo. He was a guy with unruly eyes, and then asked:


    ��What is the main business of this gang? What is the connection between Vidocq the Wild Dog and them?��


    ��The William Mas Gang has a wide range of businesses, including strip clubs, exclusive products, gambling, small-scale money laundering, etc. Judging from the information within the Organized Crime Investigation Department, Vidocq has no connection with this gang on the surface. , not from this gang.


    But Ryan has been promoted to a minor leader in this gang, and Vidocq has always kept in touch with him, and the relationship is still very good. "


    ��He was promoted to a small boss in less than a year. He is indeed a talent.��


    ? Putting aside his position, anyone who can rise so quickly in the gang is not an ordinary person.


    Roan motioned to Mona to type out the photos of the main leaders of the "Williammas Gang", and then asked Lacey:


    ��How are you doing here?��


    ��I found a surveillance video of Vidocq and a woman kissing on the street.��


    ??Lacie moved her chair and showed Luo An the surveillance video behind her. The video was showing Vidocq kissing a mature-looking woman in cool clothes on a street corner.


    The two kissed for a moment, and Vidocq''s cell phone probably rang, so Vidocq stopped talking and took out his cell phone from his pocket.


    Vidocq then made an apologetic gesture to the woman, waved his hand to stop the taxi and sent the woman away. Finally, while answering his cell phone, he walked towards the community where he rented.


    ?Seeing that there was time in the video, Luo An immediately asked Mona:


    ��Can you find out whether this call was made to Vidocq? Who is the other party?��


    ??Mona immediately started investigating on the computer after hearing this, and soon shook her head:


    ��Sorry, the other party is using a burner phone.


    ??However, I have sent a specially crafted email to that burner phone. As long as the other party opens the email, I can immediately locate the other party. "


    ��Well done.��


    ??Luo An praised Mona, moved his chair and ran to his computer, showing the clues he found to Mona and Lacey.


    ??The surveillance video content in this tape is very simple:


    ?A taxi that can be seen everywhere in Los Angeles stopped opposite the community. A guy with a hood whose face could not be seen got out of the taxi. After a while, he returned to the taxi and drove away.


    ? Mona and Lacey were a little confused at first after watching the surveillance video, but they soon discovered a problem:


    "time!"


    ??Lexi pointed to the constantly beating time in the lower right corner of the surveillance video and said:


    ��The time this guy got out of the car was less than five minutes before the death of Vidocq the Wild Dog, and the time he left the community was less than ten minutes before the death of Vidocq.��


    ��That��s right.��


    Roan nodded. Vidocq died in the early morning. At this time, there were not many taxis in this less affluent area.


    ??He checked more than a dozen surveillance videos, and only this one showed a taxi.


    ??Moreover, the taxi driver covered himself tightly with a hood. When he left here, his pockets were much bigger than before, which was really suspicious.


    ??Mona took the mouse and zoomed in on the surveillance video. After seeing the taxi''s license plate number, she immediately started investigating and soon found out the driver''s identity:


    ��Hogan Haley, 39 years old, has been in jail for eating flour and wounding with intent, and has been driving this taxi for three years.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An raised his hands and stretched his waist hard, then stood up and said:


    ��Lacey, bring a few SWAT team members and invite this driver to our special investigation team as a guest.��


    ��OK!��


    ??Lacie covered her mouth and smiled, then turned and walked into the equipment warehouse.


    ��Mona, come with me to chat with Anthony��s father Nassef.��


    ??Luo An then picked up from the table the photos of the main members of the Wilhelmath gang that Mona had just asked to print, and said:


    ��Let Nasef see if there��s anyone he knows in there.


    Then let��s see whether we arrest only some members of the gang this time, or whether we should arrest all the gang members. "


    ?That night, at 6:30, in a single-family apartment in a community in west Los Angeles.


    On the sofa in the living room of the apartment, Anthony''s mother sobbed softly. Although his father Nassef did not shed tears, his eyes were red and his face was full of sadness.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 297： Three pieces of news that shocked Luo An

    Chapter 297 Three pieces of news that shocked Luo An


    ?Seeing the FBI golden badges displayed by Roan and Mona, Nassef immediately welcomed them into the living room, cheered up and motioned for them to sit down, and planned to pour water for them.


    ��No need to go to such trouble, thank you.��


    ?Luo An immediately stopped Nassef��s actions:


    ��We are very sorry for what happened to Anthony, and we ask for your condolences.��


    Seeing Nassef''s face holding back his grief, Luo An sighed deeply.


    In the photos that Mona retrieved before, Nassef was still very energetic and his hair was all brown.


    But at this time, there were a lot of white hairs on Joseph''s head, which could not be concealed at all.


    ��We really didn��t expect that this kind of thing would happen to us����


    ?Hearing Luo An''s words, Anthony''s mother immediately began to cry in a low voice, describing the grief in her heart and Anthony''s daily behavior.


    ?Luo An and Mona listened quietly, and keenly discovered that Anthony''s mother did not know about Anthony''s eating flour, and Anthony''s lewd relationship on campus.


    The two looked at each other. Luo An saw that Anthony''s mother''s mental state was obviously not suitable for asking questions, so he turned his attention to Nassef:


    ��Do you mind if I ask some questions?��


    "no problem."


    ?Concerning his son, Nassef did not refuse Roan''s request.


    ??Although he was a little confused and asked the two of them to chat alone, Nassef took Luo An into his study after seeing the state of his wife.


    The two sat down, and Nassef poured two cups of tea for Luo An and himself.


    "Thanks."


    After taking a sip of tea, Nassef''s mental state improved a little. Seeing this, Luo An stopped talking nonsense and directly handed the photo to him:


    ��Please identify these people and see if there is anyone you are familiar with or have met and chatted with.��


    ??If the man behind the scenes is really a senior member of the William Mas Gang, then they will definitely send someone to secretly investigate Nassef, or send their subordinates to contact him quietly.


    The photos that Roan asked Mona to print are the main leaders of the William Mas Gang, as well as their close associates and well-known members.


    ??As long as Nassef can find the guy who contacted him or was seen by him when he secretly investigated Nassef, then Nassef can be used as a witness, and Luo An can start taking action to arrest people in gangs tomorrow.


    Of course, in order to prevent Nassef from blindly identifying him out of his desire to avenge his son, Luo An chose to let him see the photos first, and then describe the case.


    ??Moreover, these photos are also mixed with many photos of passers-by that Mona found randomly.


    ?Taking the photo handed over by Luo An, Nassef was a little confused, but he still looked through it carefully.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and Nassef finally pointed at a woman in the photo and said:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, I have met this person before.��


    Luo An was moved, reached out to take the photo, and asked at the same time:


    ��Mr. Nassef, are you sure?��


    ��One hundred percent sure.��


    ??Nassef nodded with certainty, saying that he had worked for the Federal Transportation Security Administration for more than ten years and had to interact with hundreds of people flying on airplanes every day.


    ?Although he could not be said to have a photographic memory of Western faces, he could basically recall them once he had seen them.


    ��OK.��


    ??Nassef''s words did not surprise Luo An. He had expected this.


    ??But the photo that Nassef found made Luo An''s lips and eyebrows twitch.


    Because the woman he identified was not the mistress of a certain leader in the Wilhelms Gang, but the middle-aged woman who kissed "Wild Dog" Vidocq last night.


    ?Luo An took back the photo with a twitch of eyebrows and asked:


    ��When did you meet her?��


    ��Just after one of my children went to the point of no return and was killed.��


    ??Nassef said that he was promoted to a small supervisor. A young man was lured by money and began to provide help to the monopolies to help them achieve independence. In the end, he was killed by the monopolies.


    ??Roan asked the young man''s name and confirmed that Nassef was describing the case that Mona had investigated before.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An continued to ask:


    ��Where did you meet this woman?��


    ��A bar I often go to after get off work.�� Nassef said that shortly after the incident, he went to the bar to drink and chat after get off work, and saw him next to his car when he returned home.


    ��That woman is very beautiful, but not a good person. She said she wanted to negotiate a business deal with me, and she could earn thirty thousand dollars a month.��


    ?Nassef sneered and said:


    ��I��ve been working for the Federal Transportation Security Administration for so many years, and any business that makes a lot of money means one thing:


    The other party wanted to use our authority to do things that violated federal laws, so I rejected her without hesitation. "


    As he spoke, Nassef��s face suddenly turned ugly and he asked:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, wasn��t this case caused by an accidental overdose of drugs?��


    "Sorry, Mr. Nassef, based on a detailed investigation of this case, we found that this case is not actually an accidental drug overdose case as you mentioned, but a behind-the-scenes case, and the behind-the-scenes case is still aimed at you."


    Roan briefly described to Nassef Vidoc "Wild Dog", his cellmate Ryan, the murders of Nassef''s men, and the situation of the William Mas gang.


    The specific details are not described in detail, but the entire chain of the story is enough to explain the general situation behind it.


    ?Sitting in a chair and listening to Roan''s narration, Nassef was first shocked by the interpersonal relationship between Anthony and the other seven people, then he was confused, then shocked, and finally his eyes were filled with blazing anger.


    boom!


    ��Fu-k!*#%��*����


    ??When Luo An finished speaking, Nassef slammed the desk in front of him, then his face turned red and he cursed.


    After a moment, Nassef looked at Luo An with a pleading face:


    ��Deputy Greenwood, I heard about your role in the bank robbery.


    ?Please, we must catch the murderer who framed my son! "


    But your son was actually the murderer who caused the deaths of the other seven teenagers.


    ? Luo An licked his lips and did not say this sentence. It is up to these parents to deal with what they want to do afterwards.


    Leaving Nassef''s home, Luo An drove the SUV back to the FBI''s Los Angeles branch building. Mona sat in the passenger seat and began to investigate the identity of the middle-aged woman.


    The SUV hadn''t gone far when Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button and saw Lacey on the opposite side.


    ��How is it, has the taxi driver been caught?��


    ��The person was caught, but now there is a little problem.��


    Lacey on the other end of the phone was speechless. She glanced at the agents in front of her and whispered:


    ��The FBI��s Los Angeles Division sent several agents from the Organized Crime Bureau and said that this driver was their undercover agent.��


    ?)


    Roan grinned when he heard this, and just as he was about to say something, Lacey handed the phone in her hand to a tall detective:


    ��Hello, Deputy Chief Greenwood, I am Deputy Chief Frese from the Organized Crime Investigation Branch.��


    "Hello."


    The two exchanged brief greetings, and then Deputy Team Leader Frese said a new piece of information:


    ��The Ryan you are investigating is also our undercover agent.��


    ??


    Luo An''s eyes twitched when he heard this. Before he could speak, Mona in the passenger seat suddenly patted his arm with a strange expression.


    Turning his head to look at the computer, Luo An was shocked to find that the middle-aged white woman who had contacted Nassef and kissed Vidocq last night was actually Ryan''s mother!


    ����


    ?This time Luo An fell completely silent.


    After a long silence, Luo An said to the phone:


    ��Give me five minutes and I��ll be at the headquarters right away.��


    Without waiting for a response from the other end of the phone, Luo An hung up the phone, then stepped on the accelerator as low as possible, and the SUV instantly rushed forward like an arrow.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 298： If you are ruthless, the wolf will be destroyed.

    Chapter 298: Cruel person...no, wolf destroys


    FBI Los Angeles headquarters building, parking lot.


    It was said to be five minutes, so Luo An didn''t waste much time and quickly drove the SUV back here.


    Bringing Mona back to the Special Investigation Team, Lacey was chatting with several agents.


    ??Seeing Luo An push open the door and enter, the eyes of the tall white detective who was over 1.9 meters tall suddenly lit up. He stood up and extended his hand to Luo An:


    ��Hello, Deputy Chief Greenwood, this is Frese from the Organized Crime Investigation Division.��


    ��Hello, Deputy Leader Fleiss.��


    ?Luo An stretched out his hand and shook the other person''s hand, then looked up at the other person.


    After coming to this world, this was the first time Luo An met someone who needed him to look up to. He felt that this Fleiss was probably not two meters tall.


    ??When Roan was sizing up Fleiss, Fleiss was also sizing him up.


    Fleiss also heard the story of the previous bank robbery. As a veteran who had been on the battlefield, he admired Luo An''s deeds of killing four robbers alone.


    After a brief exchange of greetings, Luo An and Fleiss walked into the team leader''s office together. The two sat down. Luo An stopped talking nonsense and asked directly:


    ��Deputy Leader Frese, what��s going on with Ryan from the William Mars Gang?��


    ��He is an undercover agent of our department.��


    Fleiss crossed his hands on his legs, saying that Ryan''s latest imprisonment was their fault. They had already negotiated terms with Ryan before he was imprisoned.


    ?The other party��s goal when he was imprisoned that time was to get close to the core members of the William Mas Gang.


    Ryan lived up to their expectations and successfully established a good relationship with the core members of the William Mas Gang.


    After being released from prison, Ryan naturally joined William Masbon. With Ryan''s own efforts, the recommendation of core members, and the help of the Organized Crime Investigation Division, the other party quickly climbed to the management level.


    ??The original plan of the Organized Crime Investigation Division was to help Ryan enter the core leadership of the William Mas Gang and find ways to master the core evidence of the gang. Finally, the Organized Crime Investigation Division would annihilate it in one fell swoop.


    ��Sorry, I don��t understand two questions.��


    ??While Deputy Team Leader Fleiss was talking, Luo An stretched out his hand to interrupt him, frowning and asked:


    ��As far as I know, this kind of undercover situation is generally top secret. Why did you explain it to me in such detail?


    ?Also, the undercover agents dispatched by the FBI are mostly selected from agents within the FBI or law enforcement officers from other law enforcement departments. Why did you choose a guy who works harder in prison than at home to be an undercover agent this time? "


    ?Hearing this question, Fleiss paused, looked at Luo An with a raised brow, pondered for a few seconds, and replied:


    ��Ryan was chosen as an experiment for our Organized Crime Bureau.


    We have a first-degree murder case related to Ryan with a very solid chain of evidence. "


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and he understood deeply.


    ??This is not the first time that the FBI has done this. Every year, they screen some serious criminals, conduct transactions with them, and let them do some work such as undercover gangs and contact with sole traders.


    After all, the risk factor of this kind of work is very high. If an FBI agent or other law enforcement personnel is discovered and killed by the enemy, for the FBI, it not only means that the mission has failed, but also means that they have to pay a large pension. .


    ??If a felon is killed after his true identity is discovered, the FBI will have too many maneuvers in this matter.


    Of course, using these people to perform tasks for the FBI is more risky. After all, no one knows whether they will choose to run away from the federal government after leaving prison, or not listen to the FBI and kill more innocent people.


    ��So, if you are willing to tell me Ryan��s situation now, there is a high probability that something is wrong with him, right?��


    After Fleiss finished speaking, Luo An continued.


    ??Picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, frowning slightly. After drinking the tea at Nassef''s house, Luo An suddenly realized that the coffee didn''t taste very good.


    You can change the coffee and go back to buy some tea.


    ��That��s right.��


    Fleiss said in a deep voice:


    ��The reason we chose Ryan in the first place was that he was very filial to his mother.


    So we convinced the other party with the first-degree murder case of his mother and Ryan himself.


    But recently, our detectives responsible for contacting Ryan have found that Ryan��s emotions and thoughts are getting more and more abnormal, and there are also some problems with his activities, so...�� After hearing Fleiss��s grand expression, they used Ryan��s mother After "persuading" the other party, Luo An''s expression remained unchanged and he sneered twice in his heart.


    Luo An didn''t bother to care about how the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau persuaded Ryan.


    ??But when it came to Ryan''s mother, that middle-aged woman who looked very beautiful, Luo An''s eyes flashed.


    Whether Ryan knows about the relationship between his mother and the wild dog Vidoc, or whether there is any plan by Ryan in this.


    ?It doesn''t matter if you don''t know. If you know, there is a real plan, it means that Ryan is a ruthless person... No, he is a wolf killer.


    ?Shaking his head and putting the matter aside for the time being, Luo An continued to ask some questions about Ryan, and then walked into the interrogation room with Lacey. The taxi driver had not yet been interrogated.


    In the interrogation room.


    The taxi driver was a white man who looked to be in his thirties.


    ?Luo An and Lacey sat down on the chairs opposite the taxi driver and asked:


    ��We already know your identity, so we won��t talk nonsense to you anymore.


    ?Tell us, why did you drive to this neighborhood this morning? "


    ?Taking the surveillance photos handed to him by Luo An, the taxi driver waved his hands repeatedly:


    ��No, No, the person in the photo is not me. I have never been to that community.��


    Lacie asked:


    ��Isn��t the taxi in the photo yours?��


    ��The taxi is mine, but I��m not the one driving it.��


    Seeing the scene in the photo, the taxi driver breathed a sigh of relief and explained:


    ��I have a good relationship with a guy from the William Mas Gang. He sometimes asks me to borrow his car.


    In order to build a good relationship with him and earn some pocket money, I often lent him my car. The same happened last night. I have an alibi. "


    ��Good.��


    Luo An casually scratched a few times in the notebook and continued to ask:


    "Who is this guy?"


    ��Cody-Kyan.��


    ����


    Special Investigation Team, at the front of the office area.


    Luo An borrowed two whiteboards from Investigation Team No. 4 and said he would return them after using them.


    Investigation Team No. 4: ������


    ��Cody Kiyan, 23 years old, has no criminal record. On the surface, he is not a member of the William Maas Gang, but he is actually one of Ryan��s hidden confidants.��


    ?Getting the name of the murder suspect from Luo An, the Organized Crime Investigation Section quickly found information about the other party.


    ��Keeping a close eye on Ryan, huh?��


    Lacey, who couldn''t stand the behavior of the Organized Crime Investigation Department, muttered in a low voice. Mona patted her arm calmly, then looked up at Fleiss and asked:


    ��What��s this guy��s driver��s license number?��


    One of Frese��s agents told Mona the number. Mona started typing on the keyboard. Roan thought for a while and added:


    ��By the way, carefully check the chat records between this guy and Ryan, between Wild Dog Vidoc and Ryan, and between Ryan and his mother.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona raised her hand to give Roan an "OK" gesture. At this moment, one of Frese''s technical agents suddenly said loudly:


    ��Guys, we know what Ryan is going to do.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 299： The secret behind the case

    Chapter 299 The hidden story behind the case


    ??The William Mas Gang, a medium-sized gang located in North Los Angeles, is involved in all kinds of illegal and criminal things that can make money.


    ??The organizational structure of this gang is relatively simple. There is one gang leader and three big bosses.


    Under the three big bosses, there are four to five small bosses respectively.


    ?One of the big bosses named "Johnson" was in charge of the white flour business of the William Mars Gang, and Ryan was a small boss under Johnson.


    ??In the previous case of working for the Federal Transportation Security Administration, an employee of Nassef was killed helping a gangster transport drugs. The gangster behind the scenes was William Masbon, and the person who gave the order was most likely Johnson.


    ��After this employee died, the income from Johnson��s white flour business dropped a lot.��


    ??Fress��s technical agent pointed at the information in the computer and explained:


    ��As Johnson��s junior boss, Ryan is the most motivated and capable guy.


    ??There is a high probability that it was Ryan who first proposed the method of buying Nassef, as evidenced by his mother''s contact with Nassef.


    ?After this method failed, there was a high probability that Ryan came up with the idea of ??luring Nassef''s son with a unique product, thereby forcing Nassef to commit the crime. "


    ��Ryan��s cellmate Vidocq is proof of that.��


    ?Fress, who was standing behind the technical agent, suddenly understood, and then gritted his teeth and said:


    ��This is not a task we assigned to Ryan, and Ryan never reported it to us.


    ??It seems that Ryan is really planning to climb up in the William Mas gang and betray the FBI at the same time. "


    ��The reason why Ryan did this may not be that he wanted to climb up the William Maas Gang.��


    After Fleiss finished speaking, Roan, who was standing behind Mona, saw the information she had found out, pondered silently for a moment, and sneered:


    ��This guy is probably planning to make some money and take his mother out of the federation!��


    ��What?��


    Fleiss��s expression froze:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    ?Seeing the confusion on the other party''s face, Luo An glanced at Frese. He had long heard that the Los Angeles LAPD''s case handling methods were notoriously rough throughout the federation and were often complained about.


    I didn��t expect that the methods of the Los Angeles branch of the FBI were not very good, as rough as the LAPD.


    ??Hold his hands across his chest, Luo An raised his chin towards Mona''s computer and explained quietly:


    ��Your Organized Crime Bureau pushed Ryan too hard. He really wanted to betray the FBI. The subtext in the chat logs with his mother showed this.


    ?But Ryan knows that he has the power in your hands. If he dares to betray the FBI, the FBI may use the help of gangsters to get rid of him.


    So he planned to extort a sum of money from you and the gang, and then run away with his mother. "


    Based on Ryan''s chat records with Vidocq, chat records with his mother, Ryan''s action records within the Organized Investigations Division, Ryan''s current situation, and Ryan''s behavior patterns in prison and gangs, Luo An quickly judged the other party''s plan:


    ??Ryan''s previous plan was similar to what Frese''s men had guessed, which was that the big boss Johnson''s route for transporting flour was cut off. He made suggestions and proposed a plan to bribe Nassef.


    ??But Ryan had investigated Nassef and knew that this guy had a tough attitude and would not be able to agree to him.


    So after Nassef rejected his mother and faced the questioning from his boss Johnson, Ryan did not panic at all and said the second plan he had really prepared:


    Use flour to control Anthony, and finally force Nassef to commit the crime.


    ?There are two advantages to doing this. First, the flour needs to be paid by the boss Johnson, and Ryan can retain a small amount and exchange it for the most needed money before running away. The second is that this operation can make Johnson value Ryan more and more. In the future, when Anthony is really controlled and it is time to persuade Nassef, Ryan can propose to Johnson that he should take the money himself, or he can Take the flour and fly on a plane to test whether Nassef really chooses to cooperate.


    ??Whether Nassef��s cooperative attitude is true or false is not important, what is important is the money or flour.


    ?As long as he gets one of these two, Ryan can take his mother to escape the Federation and spend the rest of his life in other countries.


    ?Before this, you can also ask the FBI for a sum of money. There are many reasons. Luo An can take a look at the other party''s position and he can name a lot of them just thinking about it.


    ??The success rate of this plan is very high, because the FBI did not imprison Ryan''s mother, but only sent a few agents to briefly monitor the other party.


    ? ? Letting his mother come into contact with Vidocq is, on the one hand, to test the attitude of the FBI. On the other hand, it cannot be ruled out that Vidocq is the tool in Ryan''s plan to take his mother out of the FBI''s surveillance sight.


    But the problem also lies with Vidocq.


    Vidocq, who did not succeed in his studies in elementary school, only knew that the fentanyl and carfentanil that Ryan gave him were "strong" and "awesome". He had no idea that carfentanil had a terrifying effect of killing just 0.02 grams. .


    Finally, he succeeded in killing Anthony and seven other teenagers, and also sent himself to the gate of hell.


    During the analysis process, Luo An constantly took out the chat records found by Mona and the files of the Organized Crime Investigation Department as evidence for his judgment.


    So after everyone in the office area listened to the analysis, Mona and Lacey looked at Luo An with admiration. Several agents from the Organized Crime Investigation Division were dumbfounded. Deputy Team Leader Frese also looked at him with surprise. Luo An.


    ?After a long silence, Fleiss stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously with Luo An, and said with bright eyes:


    "I heard that Deputy Chief Greenwood''s Special Investigation Team is still short of a lot of agents. If you have time later, you can go to our Organized Crime Investigation Division and have a look. We have many hard-working and promising young people here with various specialties. Agent!"


    Fleiss thinks that he is too old and has little chance of joining the special investigation team, but his young detectives still have a chance.


    ??As long as he joins the Special Investigation Team, with the ability of Roan Greenwood, the deputy leader, his future will definitely be very bright.


    ??In the future, when the other party is in a high position, Frese doesn''t expect how the other party will repay him, but having another big leg to lean on is also a good choice.


    ��OK, I��ll definitely go there if I have time����


    ? Luo An grinned and took out his palm from the opponent''s hand.


    There are indeed big problems with the way the FBI''s Organized Crime Investigation Section handles cases, but most of the time it is orders from leaders like Frese, and those low-level agents can only follow orders.


    ??Furthermore, there are very few agents who join the Organized Crime Investigation Division who are not intelligent enough. When comparing their personal qualities alone, most of the agents in this department can almost stand in the first echelon of quality among the entire FBI agents.


    After all, they sometimes need to go undercover, and they won��t survive long without brains or skills.


    After writing this down in his mind, Luo An glanced at the time and saw that it was already nine o''clock in the evening, so he said in a deep voice:


    ��Tomorrow morning, we...��


    Before Luo An could finish his words, Fleiss interrupted him with a smile:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, leave the arrest of Ryan to our Organized Crime Investigation Division. We are 100% sure to catch him.��


    "Um?"


    Fleiss��s words made Lacey and Mona frown, and Roan also looked up at each other expressionlessly.


    ??Fries still had a smile on his face, and the air in the Special Investigation Team office area instantly became quiet.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 300： Want to pick peaches halfway and join forces?

    Chapter 300 Want to pick peaches halfway and join forces?


    The air in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team is extremely quiet.


    ?Mona, Lacey, and the detectives from the Organized Crime Investigation Division all stared closely at Roan and Fleiss in the center of the room.


    ??The meaning of Frese''s words is obvious: the truth of the case has been revealed, and he wants to **** the peach halfway.


    ?Grabbing credit is one aspect. Simply thinking about it from another perspective, Luo An judged that Frese��s real target should be Ryan.


    ??The other party is an undercover agent who escaped from the control of the Organized Crime Investigation Division. This kind of thing is a scandal no matter how you say it. Fleiss and the others naturally want to catch him tightly.


    Thinking about the crude methods used by the people in the Los Angeles branch, Luo An felt that if Ryan was imprisoned in the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau''s prison, it would not be long before this guy committed suicide out of fear of crime.


    ?But... what does the scandal in the Organized Crime Investigation Department have to do with Luo An''s special investigation team? Luo An didn''t do this.


    ?Having been busy for so long, if the peach was picked by others, Luo An felt that he would not be able to sleep at night.


    So when faced with Frese��s gaze, Luo An was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and said directly:


    ��At 3:30 tomorrow morning, the Special Investigation Team will lead the SWAT team to officially launch an arrest operation against the ��Williammas Gang��.


    The main targets were Ryan, an undercover agent from the Organized Crime Bureau, and Johnson, the leader of his gang.


    ?The time has been set, and the specific details of the task, division of labor and other information will be reported to the team leader Potente Byrne later.


    ??If someone disturbs the William Mas Gang before the specific action tomorrow, I will report the matter to the senior leadership immediately:


    There is someone in our branch who is closely related to the gang, violating FBI regulations and federal laws! "


    ?Luo An��s words were sonorous and powerful, his face was serious, and his eyes were fixed on Fleiss, which was extremely oppressive.


    ?While Luo An was speaking, Fleiss wanted to interrupt many times, but was interrupted by Luo An''s momentum. He opened his mouth several times but failed to speak.


    At the last two paragraphs of his words, Fleiss looked moved and said in a deep voice:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, you...��


    As soon as Fleiss finished speaking, Luo An stretched out his hand and shook it:


    ��Certainly the Organized Crime Branch provided us with a lot of help in the investigation of this case.


    As a thank you, when we finish this case, you will have the opportunity to interrogate Ryan. "


    After Luo An finished speaking, he did not let go, and just looked at Fleiss quietly.


    ����


    ?After a long silence, Fleiss looked tense and said in a deep voice:


    ��This case of William Maas is very important to the deputy director, and he will support me.��


    ?Luo An replied:


    ��Eight teenagers died in this case, which has a great social impact and is even more important to the director. He supports me very much.��


    After hearing this, Frese took a deep breath, stopped talking nonsense, took his hand out of Luo An''s hand, waved his hand, and quickly left the office of the Special Investigation Team with the agents of the Organized Crime Investigation Division. district.


    ?It is useless to say more at this point. Frese has a deeper understanding of the strength of Roan Greenwood, the deputy team leader.


    ??The detectives behind Fleiss looked at Luo An with mixed looks when they left here, including disgust, fear, admiration, etc.


    ??Mona breathed a long sigh of relief, and Lacey also put away the serious expression on her face after Fleiss and others left, and patted Roan''s arm lightly:


    ��Well done! I thought you would make this a joint case!��


    ��This is our case, why should we jointly handle it?��


    ??Luo An chuckled. When Fleiss planned to pick peaches, this possibility no longer existed.


    After a pause for a few seconds, Luo An continued:


    ��I went to report the case to team leader Potente Byrne.


    ? Lacey, please contact SWAT. Mona, you must find out the location information of the Wilhelms Gang''s headquarters, warehouse, etc. "


    "no problem!"


    ��It��s all on me!��


    Lacie and Mona immediately nodded in agreement.


    ��Good.�� Luo An took out his mobile phone and was about to call Potente-Born, and said by the way:


    ��It��s considered overtime tonight. After we finish this case, we��ll take a day off!��


    As the deputy leader of the special investigation team, Luo An has this authority.


    ��Awesome! I love you so much, Roan!��


    ??Lacie cheered immediately after hearing this. The feeling of being a little sleepy immediately dissipated, and her whole body became energetic instantly.


    ??Mona also smiled, and then suddenly remembered something:


    ??Luo An has been struggling more and more recently. If she fails to come to work the next day, is this considered a work-related injury? Is there any subsidy?


    On the other side, Potente Byrne pressed the answer button and immediately straightened up and became energetic after hearing Luo An''s account of the details of the case.


    ����


    The next day, it was about 3:20 in the morning.


    ??In some villas and apartments, some bars, and an abandoned factory area in South Los Angeles, several black troop carriers from the SWAT team were parked some distance away from them.


    ??Lacie is responsible for leading the team in the bar area, Luo An is responsible for leading the team in the factory area, and Mona is responsible for leading the team in the villa apartment and other areas.


    As for Ryan��s mother, they were handed over to another team of SWAT members, who have now arrived outside the house where Ryan��s mother lives.


    ?In a troop carrier, after Luo An checked to make sure that all the equipment on his body was OK, he looked up at Potente Byrne, the team leader sitting opposite him, with a helpless expression on his face.


    ?After listening to Luo An��s narration of the case, Potente-Byrne immediately stated that he would also participate in this operation, and then hung up the phone without giving Luo An a chance to respond.


    ?This left Luo An, who was holding the phone in his hand, messy in the wind. Instead of sitting in the center, monitoring the progress of the operation and preparing to hold a press conference, a team leader went to the front line in person, and it seemed that he was planning to go out and shoot two shots...


    After a long silence, Luo An asked:


    ��Sir, won��t we hold a press conference after the operation is over?��


    ��I have notified the headquarters to prepare.��


    Potente Byrne, who understood Roan''s subtext, laughed. This was not the first time he had done this kind of thing on the front line. He had done it many times since he was transferred to Los Angeles.


    Potente-Bourne, who spent the first half of his life surrounded by gunfire, likes the tension and excitement of the front line.


    ??And when holding press conferences, Potente-Byrne also likes to wear front-line combat uniforms and appear directly in front of reporters to answer their questions.


    ��OK.��


    Luo An did not comment on Potente Bourne''s habits. Anyway, he did not **** his first-line command, and he did not intend to rush to the front. Luo An stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand to look at the time, and pressed Next contact:


    ��Mona, report the situation!��


    ��Everything is normal in all regions!��


    ��Good.��


    Luo An continued loudly:


    ��The time is now 3:28. In two minutes, we will launch unified action!��


    "clear!"


    Lacie and the SWAT team leaders in the communicator suddenly agreed.


    Calm, thoughtful, and well-planned... Potente Byrne looked at Luo An with admiration.


    Two minutes passed in the blink of an eye and came to an end very quickly.


    The next second, Luo An said loudly:


    ��The action begins!��


    Boom!


    As soon as the words fell, the door of the personnel carrier was immediately opened from the inside, and the heavily armed SWAT team members quickly rushed towards the target!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 301： A unique factory within a factory! crisis!

    Chapter 301 The independent factory in the factory! crisis!


    ?At three-thirty in the morning, the streets of Los Angeles are still brightly lit, and rhythmic music continues to play out in bars and other entertainment venues.


    ?Girls in cool clothes come and go here, some come here to have fun, and some are having fun themselves.


    ?Some young men squatting on the roadside were happily discussing which girl suited their aesthetic better. The next second, two teams of dark SWAT members suddenly appeared in front of them.


    ��FBI!��


    ��Unrelated personnel should squat down with their hands on their heads!��


    ��Don��t move!��


    ? A SWAT team member pulled the trigger and killed a guy who tried to shoot them, then quickly rushed into the bar.


    The SWAT team members behind them quickly followed up, and Mona and several agents started shouting behind them to maintain order.


    On the other side, Lacey also led the SWAT team members and rushed into the apartment or villa where several high-level leaders of the William Mas Gang lived.


    ?Her job is relatively simple, capturing gang leaders alive and killing the remaining rebels.


    ?At the same time, Luo An followed the SWAT team members and rushed towards the target factory.


    ��Plastic bomb!��


    ��Ready!��


    ��Three seconds countdown...detonate!��


    ??The exterior door of the abandoned factory was tightly closed. It was a very thick iron door. The SWAT agent did not hesitate and immediately attached a plastic bomb based on past experience.


    Boom!


    The order to detonate came down, and the SWAT team member holding the controller immediately pressed the button. There was a dazzling fire and a deafening explosion, and the iron door of the warehouse flew out instantly.


    The moment the iron door flew out, the SWAT team members holding explosion-proof shields immediately took the lead and rushed into the warehouse.


    ??The rest of the team members quickly followed up, and while quickly searching the inside of the warehouse, they shouted:


    ��FBI!��


    ��Raise your hands above your head!��


    ��Get us out of the warehouse! Get out!��


    ��Show us your hands!��


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ??When the SWAT team members broke in, there were several armed security personnel guarding the place.


    ?Several of them did not hesitate and immediately pulled the trigger on them, but were quickly shot in the head by the SWAT team members.


    Luo An, who was walking behind the SWAT team members and turned on the "emotional perception" in his mind, suddenly felt a cold malice coming from behind the shelf not far away from him, so he turned around, turned the muzzle of his gun, and pulled the trigger there. .


    boom! boom! boom!


    Three shots were fired based on the ability of "emotional perception". The next second, a middle-aged white man with two holes in his chest and a hole in his head fell to the ground from behind the shelf.


    ?This middle-aged white man''s eyes widened and he did not intend to close them until he died. He would not understand until his death how he was discovered.


    Potente-Byrne''s heart moved slightly when he saw Roan''s sudden shooting action, but before he could react, the dead body of a middle-aged white man appeared in front of him.


    ?Potente-Bourne''s pupils shrank when he saw this scene, he looked at Luo An in surprise, and asked:


    ��How did you find out?��


    ?Luo An chuckled and continued to walk forward slowly:


    ��Intuition.��


    ����


    Potente-Bourne raised his eyebrows, and without saying anything, he immediately raised his steps and followed Luo An.


    ? With the two teams of SWAT members opening the way, the enemies in the warehouse were quickly eliminated. At the same time, a lot of raw materials for contraband were also found inside the warehouse.


    There is a basement hidden in a room deep in the warehouse.


    After the SWAT team members cleared out the enemies in the basement, Roan and Potente-Byrne walked into the basement and found that there was actually a room isolated in the basement.


    What shocked Roan and Potente-Born the most was that there were more than a dozen tables placed in the isolation room, and on the tables were more than a dozen high-top pots and pans that had been roasted by the fire. Trembling and rumbling.


    Obviously, this is a factory with completely failed safety standards and shoddy workmanship.


    Seeing this scene, Luo An and Potente-Born''s expressions changed suddenly.


    ��Fu-k!��


    "Stand back! Get back and leave this room immediately!" Potente-Bourn shouted loudly, ordering the SWAT team members to get out of here quickly.


    The fire under the pot is still on. If there is an explosion, who knows what terrible chain reaction will happen later.


    Roan also quickly retreated towards the basement exit with Potente-Byrne, and at the same time said loudly:


    ��Get the hazmat team to get here quickly!��


    As the words fell, a figure wearing SWAT uniform suddenly advanced instead of retreating, and quickly rushed towards the isolation room.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Potente-Bourne immediately cursed when he saw this scene, and Luo An also frowned and quickly chased after him, preparing to stop him:


    ��What are you going to do?��


    ��The hazmat team is too late! The fire must be turned off now!


    Once the equipment inside explodes, the factory will collapse and unique products will be scattered everywhere! We all can''t survive! "


    ??The SWAT team member had a very urgent look on his face. Without talking nonsense to Luo An, he picked up a gas mask from the ground and ran into the room.


    Luo An��s face turned solemn when he saw this, and he turned around and shouted:


    ��Everyone, get out of the basement immediately!��


    Then he picked up another gas mask from the ground, opened the door to the isolation room and rushed in in a flash.


    ��#%*@��


    When Potente Byrne saw Roan running into the isolation room, he immediately cursed a lot of local slang, but this was not the time to hesitate, so he immediately called out to the SWAT team members to exit the basement.


    ??In the isolation room, Luo An and the SWAT team member covered their noses with gas masks, and quickly closed a dozen high-top pots that were roasted by the flames, trembling and rumbling.


    Luo An was very fast and quickly closed all the eight flame igniting valves on the left. When he turned around, he found that the SWAT team member was sweating profusely and struggling with one of the pots.


    Hurry to the other side and close the flame valves under the two pots at the back. Luo An then moved to the SWAT team members and asked:


    "what happened?"


    ��This valve is stuck!��


    ?This SWAT team member was sweating profusely:


    ��I can��t move it!��


    "give it to me!"


    Upon hearing this, Luo An immediately pushed aside the SWAT team member, held the switch of the valve and turned it hard.


    Can��t turn it!


    Luo An was stunned. He was so strong that he couldn''t even twist it. He hurriedly lowered his head to check, and then cursed:


    ��Fu-k! This valve is broken! It can��t be closed!��


    ??The high-top pot above his head rumbled, and the trembling became more intense. Luo An immediately turned around and asked:


    ��Can you just push this pot over?��


    The SWAT team members shook their heads repeatedly:


    ��No, it will definitely explode immediately!��


    Luo An didn��t know much about the manufacturing of unique products. At this time, it was most appropriate to trust the other party. Without hesitation, he proposed the second plan again:


    ��Hurry and find the main valve!��


    ��OK!��


    ??The SWAT team member''s eyes lit up when he heard Luo An''s words, and he quickly followed the pipeline structure to find the main valve. Luo An quickly found the main valve following his guidance, and then screwed it to the closing command position.


    Seeing the flames under the pot slowly disappear, the SWAT team members let out a long sigh of relief.


    ��Get out of here quickly!��


    ?Now is not the time to sigh. Who knows if those pots will continue to explode behind them. Luo An immediately pulled the SWAT team members out of the isolation room and headed for the exit of the basement.


    On the other side, outside the factory, a team of SWAT team members were escorting the people they arrested into the car. Potente Byrne, the team leader, had his arms folded on his chest and stared at the inside of the factory with a solemn face.


    ?No one came out of the factory. Potente-Bourne pondered for a while, looked at the SWAT captain next to him who was also nervous, and asked:


    ��What��s the name of the SWAT team member who just broke into the isolation room?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 302： Operation Success Reaps Michel Hugo

    Chapter 302 The operation successfully harvested Michel Hugo


    ?Outside the abandoned factory, the red and blue lights on the roof of the troop carrier flashed on everyone''s faces.


    ��Hunter Anderson.��


    Hearing Potente-Bourne''s question, the SWAT captain next to him replied:


    ��Formerly a person from the Weapons of Mass Destruction Agency.��


    The Weapons of Mass Destruction Bureau, one of the departments of the Department of Homeland Security, is mainly responsible for investigating, collecting and handling weapons of mass destruction, including chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear weapons and explosive weapons.


    ��No wonder he knows the dangers of unique products in the factory and how to deal with them.��


    Potente-Bourne suddenly realized that at this moment, two people supported each other and walked out of the dark factory together. One was handsome and smiling, and the other was wearing a SWAT helmet with a wide grin.


    ?Seeing the figures of Roan and Hunter, Potente-Byrne and the SWAT captain all breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest of the team members also cheered excitedly.


    ��Well done!��


    "marvelous!"


    "Thank God��"


    ??Luo An waved his hands to everyone and looked at Hunter, whose name he had just asked:


    ��Remember to call later when you have time, and we��ll go out for a drink together.��


    ��OK, definitely!��


    Hunter grinned, and Luo An patted him on the shoulder without saying anything. He continued to direct the scene. The first task was to let the hazardous materials handling team deal with the unique semi-finished products in the basement.


    ??This operation was very successful. Lacey and Mona led the SWAT team members to kill all the leaders of the William Mas Gang. The main target Ryan and his mother were also brought back to the special investigation team.


    Luo An''s side also went smoothly. After the hazardous materials handling team entered the basement, they all took a breath of cold air, and then gave a thumbs up to Luo An and Henry.


    ??Had they not closed the valve in time, the captain of the hazardous materials handling team said that the entire street would have been blown up in less than two minutes.


    ??Moreover, there is a large amount of powdered carfentanil in the basement. Once it explodes, the powder will definitely spread, and everyone near the factory will not have good results.


    Hearing these words, everyone present looked at Luo An and Henry with gratitude and admiration.


    ?At eight o''clock in the morning, a large number of people appeared in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team. These were detectives that Potente Byrne temporarily transferred to Luo An from other investigation teams to help the Special Investigation Team handle this case.


    ??Lacie and Mona were responsible for command and assistance, while Luo An led an agent into the interrogation room to interrogate the undercover Ryan.


    ?In front of the witnesses and evidence, Ryan did not remain silent for long before confessing everything. Just as Luo An had judged before, his ultimate goal was indeed to break away from the control of the Organized Crime Investigation Division and lead his mother out of the federation.


    The general content of the plan is similar to what Luo An had deduced before. There are a few differences, that is, Ryan''s mother is not pretending to be a snake with the wild dog Vidocq, but really has feelings for the other party. Ryan also Know this.


    "Um��"


    ??This kind of story about a friend''s mother made Luo An scratch his head. He could only say that the atmosphere of the Federation was too liberal, and this kind of thing was not a big deal in their eyes.


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    There was a knock on the door of the interrogation room. It was Lacey, and Luo An stood up and walked out.


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��The gains from last night��s operation have been clearly taken into account.��


    ??Lacie handed Luo An a folder. The expression on her face was very excited, but she tried hard to suppress her excitement and whispered:


    ��During this operation, we seized a total of 850 pounds of narcotics, nearly 1 ton of cocaine, 93 pounds of conchine, 50 pounds of marijuana, 30 pounds of fentanyl, 20 pounds of carfentanil, and $4.4 million in cash. .


    According to research, unique products worth approximately US$35 million hit the streets in Los Angeles every month.


    ??The ones we seized last night accounted for about 1/4! "


    "Wow, what a big harvest." Luo An raised his eyebrows, turned his head left and right to see if there was no one around, bent down and whispered into Lacey''s ear:


    ��I remember that the FBI regulations stipulate that the action team in such cases can receive a certain percentage of rewards, right?��


    ��That��s right, that��s right.��


    ??Lacie''s eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly. After all, the Duopin case was different from other cases. The risk factor was not as high as usual. Therefore, the FBI''s top brass would always use a certain percentage of the funds to reward the operators afterwards.


    ??Lacie leaned into Luo An��s ear and whispered:


    ��Probably around 14.5%.��


    ��The harvest will be left to you.��


    Luo An��s eyes shone when he heard this, and he returned the folder to Lacey and said in a deep voice:


    ��Make sure to keep an eye on them!��


    ��No problem! Leave it to me!��


    ?Thinking about the bonus she could get this time, Lacey''s eyes flashed with golden light, and she agreed firmly without hesitation, then turned around and left here.


    She planned to move a chair to the reading room to sit now. She would not leave until the senior management finished receiving it, no matter who ordered her to leave!


    Senior management: ������


    ??This case involved many people and the content of the case was complicated, so even though Potente-Byrne sent more than a dozen detectives to assist Luo An and the three of them, they still struggled for a full week.


    ?This is because Luo An��s reputation has been relatively high recently, and other law enforcement agencies are easier to talk to and have simplified some procedures.


    At the LAPD''s efficiency, it would take longer, at least more than a month.


    ??During this week, Luo An did not write complex case reports as usual, but he sorted out a lot of documents that made his head spin.


    There is no way. Luo An''s status is different at this time. As the supervisor of the special investigation team, he must grasp the content related to money and people, and cannot rely on others at all.


    ?But Luo An is very smart and very hard-working, although at first he was slower than a snail in sorting out these documents. The angry team leader Potente Byrne wanted to do it himself.


    But with the guidance of a female agent named Michelle, Luo An made rapid progress. In just three days, he figured out the contents and other contents of most of the files. The team leader Potente Burt watched. Eun was stunned.


    ?This person''s name is Michel Hugo, who just joined the Special Investigation Team on the second day after the operation. He is the agent who is mainly responsible for contacting other law enforcement agencies.


    She is the director of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch. She spent some energy and specially found her for the special investigation team.


    ??After Luo An came to Los Angeles, he handled two cases in total, namely a bank robbery case and the death of a teenager.


    ??The former provided a sum of money to the director of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch, and the latter''s huge reading harvest made the director famous in front of the Los Angeles media. The director now looks at Luo An more kindly than the team leader.


    To reciprocate the favor, the director specially found the talent Michel Hugo for Luo An��s special investigation team.


    Michelle Hugo, 29 years old, has short blond hair, average build, average appearance, average height, and her fighting and marksmanship skills are about the same as Mona''s.


    But Michelle has one very strong ability:


    Not only can she take on the task of contacting other law enforcement agencies, but she is also proficient in all types of documents from most federal law enforcement agencies. She can also write these documents very quickly. Neither Lacey nor Mona combined can match her.


    On the first day after being transferred to the Special Investigation Team, Michelle finished writing all the documents that had been piled up before, sorted them into categories, and handed them over to other departments perfectly in accordance with FBI regulations. Luo An, Mona and Lacey was stunned.


    ��Just a small skill.��


    ?Michelle picked up the coffee and took a sip, then asked with a smile:


    ��Is there any other work involved?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 303： Newcomers who love reading and taking stock of their gains

    Chapter 303 Newcomers who love reading and taking stock of their harvest


    Michelle��s words were unavailable to Luo An. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.


    ?Seeing that Mona and Lacey didn��t know what to say, Luo An had to ask:


    ��What other skills do you have?��


    ��I used to work in the Office of Inspector General at FBI headquarters.��


    ?Michelle��s smile remains the same:


    ��I know the regulations of most agencies including the FBI, CIA, NSA (National Security Agency), and DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency).


    I also have some understanding of federal laws, state laws, laws of some well-known regions and cities in the federation, and the regulations of local law enforcement agencies.


    So, I can help you to reasonably avoid legal risks during case handling or other actions. "


    ������x2


    ?Mona and Lacey looked at each other in amazement. After pondering for a few seconds, Mona asked:


    ��How do you memorize so many legal provisions?��


    ��It��s very simple, just read more books when you have nothing to do.��


    Michelle took out a thick book from the pocket behind her, titled "Emanuel''s Essentials of Law".


    ? Seeing Mona and Lacey looking at him in surprise, Michelle was a little embarrassed:


    ��I just like reading books.��


    According to Michelle''s explanation, the reason why she was transferred from the FBI headquarters in Washington was because she had read all the books in Washington that interested her.


    ??The Los Angeles Library is very famous and has a very rich collection of books.


    ?Michelle��s next goal is to read the books in the Los Angeles Public Library that interest her.


    ?This is also the reason why Michelle joined the FBI, because her status as an FBI gives her the right to view the books collected in most libraries in the federal territory.


    ?Of course, Michelle also promised that she would only read in her free time and would never delay the normal work of the special investigation team.


    Roan stood aside and didn��t know what to say. Lacey thought for a moment, moved her chair to Michelle��s side, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Have you been reading like this and not dating a boyfriend?��


    ��I don��t plan to get married. Desire is a low-level human desire. My needs in this area are very low. For good health, I only need it once a week and I can solve it by myself.��


    ??Michelle still had a smile on her face, and her tone and attitude in answering questions didn��t change at all:


    ��Compared with wasting time on the relationship between men and women, I prefer reading books. The knowledge in books is the most important to me.��


    Lacey, a guy who felt uncomfortable every day without seeing a beautiful girl, could tell that Michelle was not mocking her, she really just thought this way.


    With her hands spread out, Lacey returned to her original position with a speechless face. She had nothing to say.


    ?Mona tilted her head, thought for a while, and asked:


    ��I just said that you only read books on topics that interest you. Which aspects are you interested in?��


    ��History, music, architecture, law����


    Michelle answered more than a dozen eloquently. Except for computer, chemistry, physics and other high-tech aspects, almost all the others were included in Michelle''s interests.


    ??Mona also spread her hands with a speechless face after hearing this, and Luo An only sighed with one word:


    ��


    ��Since you all have no questions, I have a question to ask.��


    Michelle turned her attention to Luo An and asked:


    ��When will our special investigation team be paid?��


    ��Are you short of money?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Michelle said that she spends her weekly salary according to the plan, most of which is used to buy books.


    ?The day before yesterday, she flew to Los Angeles according to the transfer order, but she encountered some unexpected situations and spent a lot of extra money, so she is now a little short of money.


    Another person who is short of money comes.


    ??Luo An glanced at Mona and Lacey speechlessly, then without any nonsense, he walked directly into the team leader''s office, took out a folder, and said with a smile:


    ��Since you asked, let��s share what we have gained during this period today!��


    "Um?"


    The eyes of the three women in the office area suddenly lit up.


    Including the new Michelle, the three female ranks in the Special Investigation Team are all senior special agents, with a weekly salary of US$750 and a monthly salary of US$3,000. Luo An is the deputy team leader. His weekly salary is US$1,000 and his monthly salary is US$4,000.


    In the previous bank robbery case, the three members of the special investigation team each received a bonus of US$2,000, and Luo An doubled his bonus and received US$4,000.


    ?The same was true for the murder of a teenager. The special investigation team received a bonus of US$2,000 per person, and Luo An doubled it and received US$4,000.


    ?In addition to these, the $3 million in gratitude money from the previous bank robbery has also arrived. Lacey took away 300,000, Mona took away 300,000, and Luo An took away 2.4 million.


    The top management also calculated and entered the 14.5% bonus for those unique products into the accounts of the special investigation team. A total of 1.27 million, Lacey 200,000, Mona 200,000, Luo An 500,000, and the remaining 370,000 entered the special investigation team. The investigation team��s case handling funds.


    So this time Lacey and Mona��s gains (weekly wages) are $604,750 respectively, while Luo An��s gains are $2,909,000.


    ?Luo An did not tell the total amount of his harvest, but only gave Mona and Lacey''s harvest to them respectively.


    Seeing the beaming Mona and Lacey shouting "Long live Roan, I love you so much", Michelle was shocked. She had worked in the FBI for five or six years and had never seen such a large bonus. .


    Does the Special Investigation Team live off bonuses?


    ��Michelle, this is yours.��


    ?Taking the folder that Luo An handed him blankly, Michelle looked down and saw that the amount on it was not US$750, but US$20,750, and her pupils suddenly shrank.


    ?? He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully twice to make sure that he had read it correctly. The number above was really 20750. Michelle hurriedly looked up at Luo An:


    ��Deputy Leader Luo An, are you mistaken?��


    ��That��s right, that��s right.��


    Waving his hand, he pushed aside the dancing Lacey. Roan picked up a document she had just finished writing on Michelle''s desk, pointed at it and smiled:


    ��You didn��t participate in the previous bank robbery, so you didn��t get your share of the bonus.��


    Michelle nodded. This was normal. She had been reading books all year round and had no idea about it.


    ��But this juvenile case...��


    ?Luo An interrupted her:


    ��This money is not only because you participated in the follow-up processing of the juvenile case, but also because you single-handedly sorted out the backlog of documents of our special investigation team.��


    Since arriving in Los Angeles, Luo An has had a lot of documents that he has not had time to process, including not only the establishment details and reports of the special investigation team, some meeting reports, follow-up work reports on the bank robbery case, handover reports with other departments, and follow-up reports on the juvenile case. Work report...etc.


    ?There are a lot of them, and since Luo An arrived in Los Angeles, he has not been grateful for any report.


    Mona and Lacey gave Luan a blank look when they saw this, and they expected to spend three days sorting it out.


    But Michelle did it all by himself in just one day, and there were almost no internal mistakes.


    ??And during this period, Michelle was teaching Luo An while submitting documents to other departments.


    ��This money is not given to you personally by me, but is deducted from the US$370,000 that was just entered into the case handling funds.��


    ??Luo An has a clear distinction between public and private affairs. Michelle joined in the middle of the juvenile case. She has done a lot of follow-up work. It is inappropriate not to pay bonuses.


    What''s more, if nothing else happens, Michelle will need to be the main force to complete the follow-up of every case of the special investigation team in the future...


    ??Patted the shoulder of Michelle who looked complicated, Luo An waved his hand:


    "I said before that I will have a day off after handling this case. Today and tomorrow are weekends, and I will have an extra day off on Monday!"


    ��Ugh! Thank you so much, Luo An!��


    ��Call me the deputy leader!��


    Michelle sat on a chair, watching this scene and didn��t know what to say. He hesitated for a long time, put away the folder, and whispered to himself:


    "Thanks."


    Saturday and the weekend flew by in the blink of an eye. Luo An had planned to go to the beach in Los Angeles on Monday to see the scenery and eat some seafood. However, he suddenly received a call that night.


    Pressing the answer button, gunfire suddenly came from the other end of the phone


    ?Bang bang bang��


    Luo An��s expression changed, and a familiar male voice came from the phone:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, help!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 304： [The murder of the leader of the No. 2 investigation team]

    Chapter 304 [The Murder of the Leader of Investigation Team No. 2]


    Sunday, 5:30 pm, in Luo An��s rented apartment.


    ??The voice on the phone was very familiar to Luo An. It was the No. 2 investigation team leader who had handled the [First Lady Bomb Case] ??with him before, Team Leader Owen (Chapter 225)


    ??When he first came to Los Angeles, Luo An and Team Leader Irving greeted each other. When dealing with the "Eight Teenage Corpses Case", Team Leader Irving also provided Luo An with a lot of help.


    ??We worked together not long ago. Team leader Owen has a very friendly attitude towards Luo An and has invited Luo An to his home for dinner many times.


    So when he heard the gunshots on the phone and Team Leader Irving calling for help, Luo An didn''t hesitate at all. He immediately sat up from the sofa and ran out of the apartment quickly:


    ��Where are you? I��ll call for backup right now!��


    boom!


    Before Team Leader Owen could answer his question, a gunshot was heard from the other side of the phone, followed by the sound of the phone falling to the ground and Kazuo falling to the ground.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??Luo An''s expression changed and he slapped the SUV hard, but his curse voice was low because the phone hadn''t been hung up yet, so he might be able to hear the murderer''s movements.


    It was unusually quiet in the SUV. Luo An looked solemn and listened carefully to the voice coming from the other end of the phone.


    There were rustling footsteps, then the sound of groping for a body, and then the phone was picked up, paused for a few seconds, and then hung up.


    Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Luo An''s eyes flashed with a cold light.


    ?The footsteps on the phone were made by only one person, but the gunshots in front could not have been made by one person.


    In addition, there was a pause for a few seconds after the phone was picked up. Luo An guessed that the person who picked up the phone asked his teammates what to do, and determined that there were at least two people who killed Team Leader Owen.


    ? Driving the SUV speeding forward on the road, Luo An looked at the traffic in front of him and thought for a moment. With a flash of light in his eyes, he turned the page on his mobile phone and called the team leader Potente Byrne first.


    ??The call was quickly connected:


    ��This is Potente-Bourne.��


    ��Sir, it��s me, Luo An.��


    Luo An said in a deep voice:


    ��I��m afraid Team Leader Owen of the No. 2 Investigation Team has been killed.��


    ��What did you say? Are you sure?��


    Potente-Bourne was very shocked when he heard this and hurriedly asked:


    ��When? Where?��


    ��Team Leader Owen called me just now, and there was gunshots on the other end of the phone.��


    ?Luo An briefly described the situation just now and said in a deep voice:


    ��The time was just now, the location is not yet known.��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Potente-Bourne was extremely angry and said directly:


    ��I��ll contact the LAPD right away, and I��ll definitely find Team Leader Owen as soon as possible!��


    After finishing speaking, Potente-Byrne hung up the phone without waiting for Luo An to answer.


    Hearing the busy signal on the phone, Luo An licked his lips not knowing what he was thinking. After pondering for a while, he called Mona.


    ??Mona and Lacey went shopping on the streets of Los Angeles this afternoon and haven''t come back yet.


    ��It��s me, Mona.��


    The phone was picked up quickly, and Mona, who had bought a lot of the latest clothes, asked with a smile:


    "What''s wrong? Luo An, do you want me to bring you some food when I go back?"


    ��Sorry, Mona, there was an emergency.��


    ?Luo An turned the steering wheel and passed several cars, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Team Leader Owen of the No. 2 Investigation Team was most likely killed just now. You and Lacey quickly go back to the Special Investigation Team and try to find a way to secretly get a copy of Team Leader Owen��s recent work.��


    ��What?��


    ??Mona''s pupils shrank when she heard this and her face was filled with shock, but she immediately agreed:


    ��No problem, we��ll go back right away.��


    ��By the way, remember to call Michelle with you.��


    ?Luo An��s eyebrows twitched and he added:


    ��She may be able to provide you with some help.��


    ��OK.��


    ����


    Six o''clock in the afternoon, at a pier in southwest Los Angeles.


    Luo An was not the first to arrive at the scene. When he drove here, the scene had already been cordoned off, and nearly ten LAPD patrol officers were controlling the scene.


    ?Taking out his FBI gold badge to show his identity, Luo An opened the cordon and walked inside, beginning to observe the crime scene. A silver Camry was parked next to the container. Luo An recognized this car as the personal car of Team Leader Irving.


    ??Team Leader Irving was lying outside the driver''s door. The passenger door was opened. Luo An walked to him and found that Team Leader Irving had been shot in the right temple. The scene was horrific.


    ��Hello, I��m Sheriff James.��


    ??Luo An bent down and was about to check other situations at the scene, when a middle-aged white man with a big beard suddenly walked over.


    ?Seeing the other person''s extended hand, Luo An stopped moving and stretched out his hand to shake it:


    ��Roan Greenwood.��


    ��I know you, deputy director of the FBI��s Special Investigations Unit.��


    Sheriff James said directly after shaking hands with Luo An:


    ��The LAPD chief just called me and asked us to cooperate with you.��


    The leader of the FBI investigation team was killed. This is a major case that has not happened in Los Angeles for a long time. Chief James really can��t figure out who is so bold.


    "Thanks."


    Hearing this, Luo An didn��t waste any nonsense and asked directly:


    ��Have you visited the area?��


    ��A security guard guarding the dock heard gunshots.��


    ??Chief James took a deep breath, turned around and led Luo An not far away, and said:


    ��But the director asked us to cooperate with you, so we suspended the inquiry.��


    Roan glanced at Chief James and said nothing. He walked to the dock security and asked:


    ��Can you tell me what you saw?��


    The security guard at the pier is a very thin white man, who looks to be in his fifties, and has a gun on his waist.


    Hearing Luo An��s question, he replied:


    ��I was patrolling on the other side of the pier. When the gunshots were fired, I ran over here, but I didn��t see anyone.��


    ?Luo An frowned slightly and continued to ask:


    ��What about the surveillance at the terminal?��


    ��It��s been broken for half a year.��


    The security guard pouted:


    ��There are some homeless people in the neighborhood who come here to steal things, and they always break the surveillance.


    After it broke more than a dozen times, the Los Angeles government stopped sending people to repair it, and I was left alone to patrol it at night.


    I did the work of four people by myself, but they didn��t give me a salary increase..."


    ? Luo An continued to ask the security guard a few questions, but did not get any useful clues, so he temporarily let him leave.


    At this time, the agents from the Trace Inspection Section and the No. 2 Investigation Team all arrived at the scene. Luo An shook hands with the leading agents and handed the scene over to them.


    ??The faces of the agents of Investigation Team No. 2 were all very ugly, and several female agents all covered their mouths and shed tears.


    ?At this moment, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that the person calling him was Lacey.


    ��It��s me, Luo An, have you found any clues?��


    ��Mona just contacted Team Leader Owen��s wife.��


    Lacie on the other end of the phone said:


    ��I have sent an agent to find her. She will arrive at our office area in twenty minutes. Do you want to come back and ask her some questions?��


    ��OK, I��ll go back right now.��


    ?The Trace Inspection Section is in charge of the scene. Luo An has nothing to do if he stays here, so he might as well go back to the office area directly.


    Fifteen minutes later, Luo An returned to the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    ?Mona, Lacey and Michelle are currently sitting in front of their respective computers busy.


    ��You��re back just in time, Luo An.��


    ?Seeing Luo An push the door open and walk into the office area, Mona immediately raised her hand to greet him:


    ��I discovered a little situation here.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 305： Use your own money to repair the bus and steal clues from others

    Chapter 305: Spend your own money to repair the bus and grab clues


    ��Hmm? What��s going on?��


    Hearing this, Luo An quickly walked to Mona.


    ��Our internal data shows that the investigation team vehicle driven by Team Leader Irving was sent to the logistics department for maintenance a few days ago.��


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard a few times, pointed at the content inside and said:


    ��But the money for the repairs did not go to the public accounts of the No. 2 Investigation Team, but from Team Leader Irving��s own money.��


    ��I spent my own money to repair the investigation team��s bus����


    ??Luo An crossed his arms on his chest. Team leader Owen was not a rich man, and he was also a company-oriented person on weekdays.


    ��There are some unwritten rules within the FBI.��


    ?Michelle, who was sitting next to Mona, was silent for a few seconds, raised her head and said:


    ��If equipment is repaired out of public accounts, the contents of the documents will be scrutinized strictly, and photos will be taken for files.


    ??If it is a private account, the review will be much simpler, and the document review will not be too strict. "


    "Um?"


    Hearing this, Roan, Mona and Lacey all turned their attention to Michelle.


    Michelle saw this and smiled slightly:


    ��Don��t forget, I used to work in the prosecutor��s office.��


    Michelle said she had seen these things a lot and she was no longer surprised.


    ?Mona suddenly realized, Lacey asked in a low voice:


    ��Are there any benefits to the latter approach?��


    ��Mainly, it can erase some or hide some traces that are inconvenient for others to know.��


    ?Michelle didn��t hide anything and answered directly:


    ��In addition, there is some small profit in the smuggling account, and we can establish a good relationship with logistics.��


    Lacie was speechless when she heard this, Mona frowned slightly, Luoan pondered for a while and said:


    ��Team Leader Owen probably isn��t doing it for the profits of the latter. It��s most likely the former, that is, he wants to hide something.��


    ��That��s right.��


    Michelle nodded, she had the same idea.


    Upon seeing this, Luo An thought for a while and said:


    "Michelle, Lacey, you two go to the logistics department tomorrow to find out what Team Leader Irving is hiding."


    ��OK.��


    Michelle and Lacey both nodded in agreement.


    A few minutes later, Team Leader Irving��s wife was sent here by an agent.


    Team leader Owen��s wife, Rebecca, a night shift nurse, had red eyes and tears in her eyes.


    ��Owen and I have been married for 22 years.��


    ??Rebecca took the tissue that Lacey handed to her and said with sobs:


    ��We were planning to move to Hawaii in two years����


    ��I��m sorry, Ms. Rebecca.��


    Roan had met Rebecca before, and Team Leader Owen also expressed to him that he was very proud to have Rebecca, a kind-hearted wife.


    Team Leader Owen was injured when he was young, so he and Rebecca did not have children. The two even discussed the dream of adopting a child...


    ??Luo An sighed and comforted Rebecca in a low voice for a long time. After seeing that her mood had calmed down a little, he tentatively asked:


    ��Ms. Rebecca, is there anything abnormal in Team Leader Owen��s life recently?��


    ��No, it��s always the same, nothing out of the ordinary.��


    Rebecca shook her head and said:


    "For all these years, I have never gone to Owen''s study. I never disturbed him when he was working." Luo An pondered for a few seconds and continued to ask:


    ��What about financially? How is your financial situation?��


    ��Very normal.��


    Rebecca said:


    ��We have no debts, our car loan and house loan have been paid off long ago, and we don��t have any financial problems.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Looking at Michelle next to him, Luo An continued to ask:


    ��We found out that Team Leader Owen had some problems with his car at work some time ago. Do you know about this?��


    ��I know this.��


    Rebecca nodded when she heard this and said:


    ��Owen told me about this. He said that when he was driving some time ago, a bird flew onto the front windshield and broke the glass. He was shocked.��


    bird��


    ?Roan, Mona, Lacey, and Michelle looked at each other, and they all saw the suspicion in each other''s eyes.


    After a few seconds of silence, Luo An coughed slightly and prepared to continue asking.


    ?At this moment, the door of the special investigation team was suddenly pushed open, and several familiar figures suddenly strode in.


    ��Sorry, Deputy Leader Greenwood, we can solve Captain Owen��s case, so I won��t bother you anymore!��


    ??The four of Luo An went too far and discovered that the visitor was Lucerne, Jack, Evie and Hayes, the four agents of the No. 2 Investigation Team.


    Lucerne was the leader among the four, followed closely by Jack and Hayes. Evie stood at the end, looking at Luo An and the others with somewhat complicated eyes.


    When Roamona was killing mercenaries on the mountain roads of Los Angeles, it was Evie and the agents who helped them deal with the scene and follow-up.


    ??Evie is the one who witnessed Luo An��s abilities and methods with her own eyes.


    ??Evie was shocked at the time. Later, she learned that Luo An had solved four robbers in a bank robbery alone without being hurt. Evie''s shock towards Luo An directly turned into admiration and admiration.


    ??Having just learned the news that Team Leader Owen was killed, Evie was very sad, and her eyes are still red to this day.


    ?However, after learning that Luo An appeared at the scene and took over the case, although Evie was still sad, she felt much more at ease in her heart.


    She believes in the ability and ability of Deputy Team Leader Roan Greenwood, and believes that Roan can lead the special investigation team to find the murderer of Team Leader Owen.


    ??Just now when I heard Lucerne say that Team Leader Owen is the leader of their No. 2 Investigation Team, this case belongs to the No. 2 Investigation Team and must be investigated and solved by themselves, Evie opened her mouth many times to say something.


    ?Having worked in the No. 2 Investigation Team for so long, Evie is very clear about Lucerne and Jack''s case handling skills.


    ??In the past, when Team Leader Owen was here, they could successfully solve the case under the leadership of Team Leader Owen.


    ?? Now that Team Leader Owen is gone, Ivie feels that Lucerne and the others will need at least three to four times the time to handle the case now, and it is still unknown whether they can succeed.


    ?However, Lucerne put too much pressure on her. Other agents of Investigation Team No. 2 also supported Lucerne. Evie''s status in Investigation Team No. 2 was not high. She was silent for a long time, and in the end she did not dare to speak her mind.


    ??Evie has also made other plans. If the case is handed over to the No. 2 Investigation Team, it is easy to say that the murderer will be found.


    ?If the murderer was not found, she would submit an application to Luo An''s special investigation team to see if she could be transferred to the special investigation team.


    ??Then find a way to get Luo An to take over the case again, and finally catch the murderer of Team Leader Owen and avenge Team Leader Owen.


    Lucerne of the No. 2 Investigation Team did not know that there was a guy behind him who doubted his ability. He had always been convinced of his ability to handle cases.


    What''s more, Captain Owen is the leader of their No. 2 investigation team. If the case is handed over to the special investigation team, what will others think of him?


    Lucerne has always regarded himself as the deputy leader of the No. 2 investigation team for such a long time.


    So when he walked into the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, Lucerne walked directly to Rebecca without any nonsense, took her hand and prepared to walk out:


    ��Mrs. Rebecca, believe me, I will find the murderer of Team Leader Owen and avenge him!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 306： Leaving in despair, 20 million jewelry counterfeiting case

    Chapter 306 Leaving in despair, 20 million jewelry counterfeiting case


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    Lucerne spoke and walked very quickly, and Rebecca, who had tears in her eyes, was pulled up from the chair before she could react.


    "what are you doing?"


    "What do you mean?"


    ?Mona and Lacey''s expressions changed suddenly when they saw this, and they immediately left their chairs and stretched out their hands to stop each other.


    ?Michelle didn''t say anything, just stood up silently and blocked behind Lucerne.


    ?Seeing three beautiful women preparing to stop him, Lucerne grinned disdainfully, turned around and prepared to squeeze them away with his shoulders.


    ?The next second, severe pain suddenly came from the wrist of his right hand. Lucerne''s face instantly distorted, and he subconsciously let go of Lady Rebecca''s hand.


    After reacting, Lucerne quickly turned around and found that it was Luo An who had reached out and clamped his wrist.


    ?Pulling Rebecca behind him and handing it over to Mona and Lacey, Roan said expressionlessly:


    ��Team Leader Owen has just passed away, and you treat his wife like this. You are really a good subordinate of Team Leader Owen.��


    ??The pain in his right wrist made Lucerne take a breath. He looked at Luo An with surprise, and he didn''t understand why Luo An''s hand was so strong.


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Lucerne suddenly became angry:


    "Deputy Team Leader Greenwood, don''t say such things to sow discord. Team Leader Owen was the leader of our No. 2 Investigation Team. He passed away. The case must be investigated by us!"


    ?While speaking, Lucerne took a step back, trying to take his right hand out of Luo An''s hand.


    ?But until Lucerne''s face turned red from suppressing his anger, his right hand was still firmly clamped by Luo An.


    ?Just when Lucerne''s face was filled with anger and he stretched out his left hand to attack Luo An, Luo An raised his brows slightly and suddenly let go of his right hand.


    �O


    Before Lucerne could pull back his right hand, the inertia of Luo An''s sudden release caused his whole body to still move backwards, so he sat down on the ground without reacting.


    ?Mona and Lacey burst out laughing. Michelle did not laugh out loud, but she slightly curled her eyes and raised her hand to cover her mouth.


    Agent Jack and Agent Hayes of the No. 2 Investigation Team looked at Lucerne a little strangely. Agent Ivie wanted to laugh but was embarrassed, so she could only turn her head and purse her lips.


    Rebecca, the protagonist who was being fought over by both sides, also reacted at this time. She glared hard at Lucerne, whom she usually didn''t like very much, and sat back on the chair of the special investigation team.


    ? Feeling the eyes of everyone in the office looking at him, Lucerne, who was sitting on the ground, his lips were trembling and his hairs were almost exploding with anger. He immediately stood up and wanted to pounce on Luo An:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, you...��


    Luo An''s eyes were full of disdain, and his right hand behind his back was silently clenched into a fist.


    ��Lucerne! What are you doing?!��


    At this moment, the shout of team leader Potente Byrne suddenly came from the door of the special investigation team. Lucerne''s movements suddenly froze. Luo An raised his brows and calmly let go of his clenched right hand behind him. .


    ��What are you doing here?��


    Potente-Bourne walked into the office area with a dark face. Evie and Jack hurriedly made way for him. Lucerne also hurriedly turned around and said:


    ��Sir, we are here to deal with the murder of Team Leader Owen...��


    ��This case is under the responsibility of the Special Investigation Team. You just need to provide assistance.��


    ??Team Leader Irving��s last phone call before his death was not made to his detectives in the No. 2 Investigation Team. Instead, he made a call to Luo An, the deputy leader of the Special Investigation Team.


    Potente-Bourne, who spent most of the first half of his life in intrigues, never believed that this was just because Team Leader Owen pressed the phone smoothly when dialing the phone, or because of other accidents.


    ?Thinking of this, Potente-Born glanced at Lucerne with a bad look on his face and waved his hand:


    ��Go back to your investigation team No. 2. Leader Owen has passed away. Your investigation team still has a few cases that have not yet been solved. Hurry up and deal with those cases!��


    Lucerne��s face turned red:


    "But��"


    Potente Burn immediately turned his head with a gloomy face:


    "Um?"


    ����Okay, sir.��


    Lucerne was silent for a few seconds, and finally left the special investigation team with Jack and the other three in despair.


    ? ? "Hmph." ? ? ? Looking at Lucerne''s back, Potente-Born snorted coldly, then turned around and handed Roan a folder and said:


    ��These are all the cases that Team Leader Owen has investigated in the past year. The information inside may be helpful in finding the murderer of Team Leader Owen.��


    Luo An took the folder:


    ��Thank you, sir.��


    Potente-Bourne said nothing, walked up to Rebecca and whispered:


    ��Lady Rebecca, Potente-Byrne, Captain Owen��s chief.


    I''m sorry about what happened to Team Leader Owen, but I promise you that we will definitely catch the murderer of Team Leader Owen! "


    "Thanks."


    Rebecca nodded, her eyes turning red again.


    After briefly comforting the other party for a moment, Potente Byrne pulled Roan to the side and whispered:


    ��Luo An, the nature of this case is very bad. The director will hold a press conference on this case tomorrow, so you must solve this case.


    If you need help or encounter a problem, send me a message immediately, do you understand? "


    "no problem."


    Luo An agreed. Now he is a little confused. What was the reason why the murderer killed Team Leader Owen?


    ??Killing an FBI investigation team leader represents a provocation to federal law enforcement and will only trigger a crazy counterattack by the FBI.


    ?Who is so brave?


    ����


    The next day, Monday, ten o''clock in the morning.


    ?Michelle pushed open the door to the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, shook the folder in her hand, and said:


    ��Captain Owen��s autopsy report has come out. The fatal injury was the gunshot wound to his temple.��


    ?Luo An, who was lowering his head to pack things, heard this and raised his head and asked:


    ��Has the bullet been tested for ballistics?��


    ��It has been done, but unfortunately, the gun that killed Team Leader Irving was a black gun. There is no information about this gun in the FBI��s internal data.��


    Michelle sat back in her chair, picked up her coffee and took a sip:


    ��And the Trace Inspection Section carefully checked the seabed near the dock where the crime occurred and found many black guns involved in other cases, but they did not find the gun that killed Team Leader Owen.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An turned to look at Mona:


    ��How��s your check going?��


    ��In the documents that Potente Byrne brought last night, I found several possible murderers suspected of killing Team Leader Irving.��


    Mona tapped her fingers on the keyboard, and several suspects were quickly displayed on the computer desktop:


    ��Four months ago, Team Leader Owen led his team to detect a jewelry counterfeiting case worth 20 million.��


    ?Luo An put his chin on his hand and shook his head:


    ��The purpose of the counterfeiting is just to make money. They don��t want to get their hands dirty. There is no need or the courage to kill the FBI investigation team leader.��


    ��What about this?��


    ?Mona pointed to the second paragraph of information and continued:


    ��Eleven months ago, Captain Owen led his men to dismantle a branch of a white supremacist organization that committed first-degree murder.��


    "This kind of people will not delay their revenge for so long. They will definitely take action immediately to express their attitude."


    Luo An continued to shake his head:


    "anything else?"


    ��There are two others.��


    ?Mona was about to continue reading, but at this moment, Lacey opened the door of the investigation team and walked in:


    ��Everyone, I have found out that Team Leader Owen spent his own money to repair the bus.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 307： Four questions, clues, suspects

    Chapter 307 Four questions, clues, suspects


    ?Hearing what Lacey said, Luo An immediately asked:


    "what happened?"


    ??Mona and Michelle also cast questioning glances.


    ��This is a photo.��


    ??Lacie did not answer, but directly took out the photo of Captain Owen''s bus before maintenance and put it in front of everyone.


    Luo An and the others looked down and found that there were seven or eight cracks in the windshield in front of the passenger side of Captain Irving''s bus in the photo, with the glass facing inward and a hole the size of a baby''s fist.


    ?Mona grinned:


    ��Could this be done by a bird?��


    Lacie drained the coffee in the cup in one gulp and continued:


    ��Perhaps the bird has a dynamite strapped to it.��


    Next to Michelle added:


    ��The question now is that Captain Owen��s bus was shot at. Not only did he not report the incident, why did he spread the alarm?��


    ��Maybe Captain Owen knew the person who shot him, or maybe he knew who fired the shot.��


    Luo An answered smoothly, crossed his arms over his chest, narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head and pondered.


    After thinking for a moment, Luo An suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked Lacey:


    ��By the way, how did you get this photo?��


    It seems that it is not easy for the logistics side to speak out about things that involve their interests.


    ��Michelle��s credit.��


    Lacie put her arm around Michelle''s shoulders and said with a smile:


    ��She taught me to say things that the agents in the back office couldn��t say no to.��


    ?Mona looked at Michelle in surprise, and Michelle smiled slightly:


    ��I used to work in the prosecutor��s office and have dealt with this kind of thing and know how to deal with those people.


    ??And Lacey is very smart and learns quickly. I only said it once and she remembered it. "


    Glancing at Lacey, who had her hands on her hips and a proud face on her face, Luo An coughed lightly, walked to the front of the office area, picked up a pen and wrote on the whiteboard borrowed by the No. 4 Investigation Team that had not yet been returned, while speaking:


    ��Everyone, we have a few questions that we are not clear about right now.


    First, why did Captain Owen conceal the incident when his bus was shot at?


    Second, why did Team Leader Owen make his last phone call to me for help?


    Third, what was the reason why Team Leader Owen was killed? Revenge or something else? "


    Speaking of this, Luo An''s eyes flashed, something suddenly occurred to him, and he asked while writing:


    "Fourth, why did Team Leader Owen go to the pier in southwest Los Angeles last night? What did he do there?"


    Hearing Luo An��s fourth question, Mona raised her hand and answered:


    ��I have checked the surveillance cameras in the dock area and found nothing unusual or unusual vehicles.��


    Michelle and Lacey frowned and fell silent upon hearing this. Roan threw the whiteboard marker aside, thought for a while, and asked:


    ��Have you checked the call records of Team Leader Owen?��


    "call records?"


    ??Mona shook her head in shock, then quickly moved her chair back to her computer:


    ��I��ll start checking now.��


    ��OK.��


    Roan continued to say to Lacey and Michelle:


    ��Lacey, Michelle, please go to the office of the leader of Investigation Team No. 2 now and bring us all the office supplies and personal belongings of Leader Irving.��


    "no problem."


    The two nodded, stood up and left the special investigation team.


    There are not many supplies for Captain Owen in the office of the leader of the No. 2 Investigation Team. Except for some case reports and files, there are not many other items. Luo An, Lacey and Michelle sat together and looked through Captain Owen''s belongings bit by bit. The time soon came to noon.


    After lunch, Mona was busy in front of her computer for a while, and then suddenly raised her hand:


    ��Everyone, I found a clue.��


    ??Luo An and the other three immediately moved their chairs and came closer to Mona:


    ��What clue?��


    ��Call records with different phone numbers but the same location.��


    ?Mona typed on the keyboard for a moment, and a series of phone numbers and a map suddenly appeared on the computer. She pointed at these and explained:


    ��Since half a year ago, Team Leader Owen has had multiple calls with different one-time phone calls.


    The time for contact between the two is not fixed, but the frequency is fixed, twice every month.


    The reason why I believe that there is the same person behind these different disposable phones is because although the numbers of these disposable phones are different, the location of each call is the same and never changes. "


    ?Whether it is an ordinary phone or a disposable phone, the way they work is to transmit signals into a base station, and then send signals through the base station to contact others in the distance.


    ??Although the person who contacted Team Leader Irving changed his disposable cell phone many times, the base station that sent his signal was always the same one, which shows that the other party never changed locations when making calls.


    ��But I can��t be sure that the other party is the same person.��


    Lacie raised her own questions:


    ��Can��t it be that there is a store selling disposable mobile phones in that area? Those people just bought the phones and called Team Leader Owen directly there..."


    As he spoke, Lacey��s voice became smaller and smaller.


    Because she found that the possibility she said was lower than what Mona said.


    ��The analysis is very reasonable, don��t analyze it in the future.��


    Roan patted Lacey on the shoulder, looked at Mona, and then asked:


    ��Are there any other discoveries?��


    ?Mona smiled and said proudly:


    ��Of course!


    ??And I can already answer the fourth question you wrote on the whiteboard. "


    ?Mona zoomed in on the map on the computer screen and explained:


    ��In the area where the signal base station is located, I checked the people who had social contacts with Team Leader Owen, and successfully found a middle-aged white man named Pearson.


    ??This Pearson is also an FBI, working in the Criminal Justice Information Department in Los Angeles. He graduated from the same police academy as Team Leader Irving, and the two were classmates in the same class.


    Before Team Leader Owen called Luo An, you had a phone call with him last night.


    Not only that, while Captain Irving drove to the dock, Pearson also drove away from home.


    ??Pearson''s driving route was a bit circuitous, and he deliberately avoided many surveillance cameras, but his final direction was the Southwest Pier in Los Angeles. "


    "The Ministry of Criminal Justice...is the same department as August."


    ?After listening to the clues that Mona found, Lacey clicked her tongue and analyzed:


    ��Could it be that Team Leader Owen accidentally handled an unjust, false and wrong case, and the victim sought revenge from him after he was released from prison?��


    Luo An stood up, stretched his waist, and patted Lacey on the shoulder:


    ��Lacie, I think you should go to Hollywood and become a screenwriter.��


    ��How can you make money as a screenwriter by working on your case?��


    Lacey chuckled. She had roughly figured out the structure of Hollywood during this period. The status of editors there was not ordinary. A movie had a box office of tens of millions, and those who could get half a million were the best in the industry. The screenwriter.


    Most editors only have a few hundred dollars a month, and survival is a problem.


    Getting up from the chair, Lacey asked:


    ��Where shall we go to see Pearson next?��


    "certainly!"


    Roan signaled Michelle to stay in the office area, continued to search for Team Leader Irving��s office supplies, and then walked into the equipment room with Lacey:


    ��Let��s go visit Mr. Pearson and ask him what he talks about when he talks to Team Leader Irving on the phone every month.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 308： Gunshots! Booby trap! Lacey in a cold sweat

    Chapter 308 Gunshot! Booby trap! Lacey in a cold sweat


    Southern Los Angeles, a certain community.


    ? Luo An and Lacey slowly parked the SUV to the side of the road, checked their equipment, got out of the car and walked to Pearson''s second-floor apartment.


    Pushing open the fence door, Lacey looked at the lawn on the ground and grinned:


    ��Wow, it looks like our Mr. Pearson is rich.��


    Luo An didn��t know much about lawns. Hearing Lacey��s words, he asked casually:


    "How to say?"


    ��This is an expensive lawn in Los Angeles.��


    Lacie bent down and picked off a piece of grass:


    ��It would probably cost tens of thousands of dollars to build such a large lawn.��


    ��That��s really rich.��


    ?Luo An grinned. Although he now had a lot of money, he was still not used to the luxurious, wasteful, corrupt and extravagant life of the rich in federal capitalism.


    ?Spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a lawn. Luo An had the money, but felt it was unnecessary.


    ??The two walked towards the door of the apartment while talking. As soon as Lacey''s right foot stepped on the stairs at the door, a gunshot suddenly sounded from inside the apartment!


    boom!


    ��Fu-k!��


    The sudden gunshot startled Luo An and Lacey.


    After reacting, Lacey''s expression changed, she took out her pistol and prepared to rush into the apartment.


    "Wait a moment!"


    But just as Lacey was about to take out her right leg, Luo An suddenly felt the feeling of water under her buttocks being burned by fire again, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed Lacey.


    Lacie made a move, turned around quickly and asked:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ����


    ?? Luo An''s eyebrows twitched. He thought there was a gunman nearby who was going to attack the two of them, so he and Lacey were going to find obstacles to avoid them.


    But as soon as Lacey retracted her right leg, the feeling of her **** being burned instantly disappeared. Luo An''s mind was spinning rapidly, and he immediately realized that there might be something wrong with the apartment in front of him.


    Turning on the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An only felt the panic of Lacey in front of him, but he didn''t feel any emotion in the apartment, neither cold disgust nor warm goodwill.


    In other words, there was no living person in the apartment at this time, but there was something deadly.


    Luo An figured it all out in an instant, took a tentative step forward, and found that the burning feeling in his **** came again. Without saying a word, Luo An immediately motioned for Lacey to walk to the back door of the apartment with him.


    ??Lacie was a little confused, but she always believed in Luo An''s judgment when encountering an enemy, so she followed Luo An in a vigilant posture and hurriedly followed.


    Slowly approaching the back door of the apartment, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief when he didn''t feel the feeling of his **** being burned by the fire.


    Bang!


    ?Hash breaking the glass with one punch, Luo An reached out and grabbed the handle from inside, and opened the back door of the apartment bit by bit.


    ?The corners of Lacey''s mouth twitched when she saw this scene:


    ��Luo An, you...��


    Before she finished speaking, Lacey suddenly saw Luo An pointing his finger towards the front door of the apartment, and subconsciously followed his guidance. The next second, Lacey took a breath:


    I saw two booby traps placed under the handle of the front door of the apartment!


    ??As long as someone breaks into the apartment, those two booby traps will explode instantly!


    ��sonof is better than eating!��


    ??Lacie cursed loudly, thinking that she almost pushed the door open and broke into the apartment just now, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.


    ��@*#%����


    Reaching out to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, Lacey looked at Luo An with gratitude in her eyes:


    ��Thank you, Roan.��


    ��Call me the deputy leader.��


    ??Luo An smiled and waved his hand, thinking that his "emotional perception" had previously deduced that there was no living person in the apartment, but there was gunfire, so he immediately took a warning posture and slowly walked towards the second floor of the apartment. Seeing this, Lacey once again glared at the booby trap at the front door, raised her pistol and followed Luo An.


    As soon as he entered the second floor, Luo An''s sensitive nose smelled a strong smell of blood.


    After checking back to back with Lacey to make sure no one was hiding in other rooms, Luo An stood by the door of the last bedroom, holding a pistol and slowly opening the bedroom door.


    A strong smell of blood instantly burst out from the room. The first thing that caught Luo An and Lacey''s eyes was a chair with its back to them. There was a person sitting on the chair with his head lowered.


    The two men approached slowly with guns in hand, walked to the chair, and saw each other''s faces clearly, which was the goal of their trip:


    Pearson.


    ???The cause of Pearson''s death was the hole made by the bullet in his forehead. The blood was very fresh and should have been caused by the gunshot just now.


    But both Luo An and Mona saw that there was something wrong with the range of the gun muzzle on Pearson''s forehead, which meant that the other party had been shot in the forehead a long time ago. The shot just now was just another bullet hole in the forehead. Just a gun.


    Opposite Pearson, there is a table with a pistol on it, and a very ingenious structure is set at the trigger of the pistol:


    ??As long as someone walks in front of the apartment, the trigger of this gun will be lightly pulled by the mechanical mechanism.


    ��When they heard gunshots coming from upstairs, except for passers-by, the first reaction of most of the investigators who came here to investigate was to rush into the villa to check the situation.


    ??Then the booby trap at the front door of the apartment will be triggered, and the visitor will be killed. Most of this apartment is still a wooden structure, and the flames will rise and burn instantly..."


    ? Luo An put away the Glock 18 and marveled at the mechanical structure in front of him:


    ��A smart guy not only understands mechanical structures, but also understands human psychology. He is a talent.��


    ��MotherFu��r!��


    Hearing Luo An''s words, Lacey walked on the line of life and death, and her back was soaked with cold sweat. She cursed loudly. She wished she could kill the guy who designed this structure with one shot right now.


    ��Call the Trace Inspection Department.��


    After Lacey vented a few words and her mood stabilized, Luo An smiled and said:


    ��Let them come here and take care of the scene.


    ?There should be very few people in the city of Los Angeles who can design this kind of delay mechanical structure. I''m afraid we will be able to find the murderer soon. "


    ��OK.��


    ??Lacie nodded, took out her mobile phone and started to make a call. After contacting the Trace Inspection Department, she hung up the phone, pondered for a few seconds, raised her head and asked:


    ��Luo An, how did you find those booby traps at the front door?��


    ��Intuition.��


    Luo An turned around and left the bedroom, smiling:


    ��I��ve always trusted my instincts.��


    Looking at Luo An��s back, Lacey hurriedly followed, while pouting and whispering to herself:


    ��Isn��t it said that women��s intuition is the most accurate...Is there something wrong with me or Luo An?��


    Half an hour later, agents from the Trace Inspection Section arrived at the scene. They saw the booby trap at the front door of the apartment, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.


    ?After trying their best to dismantle the mechanical structures and booby traps in the apartment, the agents of the Trace Inspection Section looked at Luo Ping An with expressions of emotion and admiration in their eyes.


    Luo An stretched out his hand and shook it with the leading trace inspection agent, and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you for your hard work.��


    ?The two parties exchanged a few brief greetings and then drove back to the Jacobs Federal Building together.


    ??Returning to the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, it wasn''t long before the off-duty time came, and Luo An and the four of them left here and went back to their homes.


    ? ? Together with Mona, Luo An bought some fruits and flowers outside, and the two of them returned to the rented apartment while talking and laughing.


    Inserting the key and opening the door, Mona stepped in with a smile on her face. However, the second Luo An entered the room, his smile disappeared and his face instantly darkened.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 309： Luo An: Someone sneaked into our apartment.

    Chapter 309 Luo An: Someone sneaked into our apartment


    The apartment rented by Luo An and Mona.


    ��I want to eat oriental food tonight, Luo An, you cook and I wash the dishes.��


    ??Mona was in a good mood today. When the apartment door opened, she walked in humming a song and made arrangements for tonight''s dinner.


    Snapped!


    ?The next second, Mona suddenly felt her arm being pulled tightly by Luo An. Thinking of some of the crazy behaviors the two had done, she hurriedly twisted her body to get rid of each other:


    ��NO! Luo An! I��m hungry��


    At least you should close the door first! "


    ����


    Stretching out his hand to close the door, Mona''s words left Luo An speechless. Why didn''t he feel like he was not a good person?


    ??But that was not what Luo An meant when he grabbed Mona. He slapped her **** hard to calm her down. Then he whispered in Mona''s ear:


    ��There��s something wrong with the room, someone has come in.��


    "Um?!"


    Hearing this, Mona instantly stopped twisting in Luo An��s arms, the expression on her face instantly became serious, and she whispered:


    "you sure?"


    "Um."


    Luo An didn��t say much, he just pointed at the two windows in the living room and the small thin line on the top of the apartment door.


    After the small apartment Mona bought was secretly entered by gunmen, although the gangster was caught by Luo An, it still left some psychological shadow on Mona.


    Since then, every time Mona leaves home, she will follow what she learned at the FBI training academy and place some small items, such as toothpicks and thin strings, in the cracks of windows and doors in advance to prevent anyone from sneaking into the room.


    In Luo An''s opinion, Mona''s counter-reconnaissance skills are really average. If it were him, he would have several ways to sneak into Mona''s room secretly, and he could also put those little things back in place afterwards to prevent Mona from discovering anything unusual. .


    The two started living together, and they talked about it during the halftime of a certain sport.


    ?So Luo An taught Mona shirtless and tested Mona��s learning results.


    ?The process took a long time, but the result... wasn''t great. Mona still didn''t learn much.


    ?For Mona��s sense of security, Luo An designed the warning props in the room by himself. This habit started in New York and continued to Los Angeles.


    ??So following Luo An''s guidance, Mona saw that the false toothpick warning object at the left window of the living room was still in place, but the real thin line warning object had disappeared.


    ��Shit!��


    ??Mona cursed in a low voice, and then looked at Luo An with a solemn face:


    ��What��s next?��


    ��Check the room carefully to see if anything is missing.��


    ??Luo An''s eyes flashed coldly, and he patted Mona on the shoulder. The two of them immediately walked into their own rooms to check.


    There weren''t many things in Luo An''s bedroom, and he always paid attention to details, so he checked his room quickly and found nothing missing.


    ??Mona''s bedroom has a lot of stuff. Not long after she arrived in Los Angeles, she filled two wardrobes. After Luo An checked his own room, he walked into her bedroom to check together.


    ?Ten minutes later, the two of them completed the inspection and found that nothing was missing from Mona��s bedroom.


    ?Mona frowned upon seeing this and guessed:


    ��So, did that guy want to come to our place to look for something, but he didn��t find it and left?��


    She and Luo An are both serious people and have no habit of keeping diaries.


    ��Don��t forget, we have other rooms.��


    ??Roan shook his head, left Mona''s bedroom and walked into the study next to her.


    ??Mona didn''t say anything when she saw this, turned around and walked into the kitchen on the other side.


    Soon, Mona finished rummaging through the kitchen, which didn��t have many things. Just when she was about to continue rummaging through the living room, Luo An��s voice suddenly called from the bathroom:


    ��Mona, come here for a moment.��


    ��Why is it the bathroom?��


    ?Mona frowned when she saw this:


    "What can be stolen in the bathroom?" "NO, you said it wrong, Mona, that guy is giving us a gift."


    ? Luo An walked out of the bathroom with a sneer, holding a small purple notebook the size of an exercise book but very thin in his hand.


    ?Handing it to Mona, Luo An added:


    ��Found in the thin mezzanine on top of the bathroom.��


    ??Mona looked very unhappy when she saw the purple notebook handed over by Luo An, but when she opened the notebook and saw the contents inside, Mona''s expression was startled:


    ��Overseas account?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An sat down on the sofa in the living room. He did have some accounts outside the Federation, which contained the 300 million US dollars he had obtained before.


    ?However, the account numbers and passwords of those accounts were firmly remembered by Luo An. Being insecure, he felt that things written on paper could never be kept secret, so he never wrote down those account numbers.


    This is the first time Luo An has seen the overseas bank account in the purple notebook, and he doesn��t know where it comes from.


    ��It��s most likely stolen goods.��


    ?Seeing Mona''s solemn expression with a frown on her face, Luo An grabbed her arm, pulled her into his arms, and said with a smile:


    ��I just don��t know who wants to frame me.��


    ��It must be Captain Owen��s case.��


    ??Mona is not stupid. She and Luo An have not offended anyone since they came to Los Angeles. The only possibility is that they took over the murder case of Team Leader Owen in the past two days.


    ? Owen is the head of the investigation team of the FBI��s Criminal Investigation Division and can be considered a middle-level manager of the FBI.


    ??When this kind of person is killed, either the murderer really doesn''t care about Irving''s status as the leader of the investigation team, or the man behind the scenes really doesn''t care about Irving''s status as the leader of the investigation team.


    ??This afternoon Luo An and Lacey went to Pearson''s house and encountered a booby trap. Lacey also told Mona that the mastermind behind it was obviously planning to kill people.


    ?Thinking of this, Mona broke away from Luo An''s arms, straightened up, and said with a serious face:


    ��Luo An, how about we hand over this case to other investigation teams.��


    ��What?��


    Roan looked surprised. Just as he was about to ask, Mona covered his mouth and said in a serious but calm voice:


    "Luo An, there is obviously a bottomless pool behind this case. There is no need for us to risk our own lives to investigate."


    ??Mona is a woman first, and then an FBI. She doesn��t want to see the man she loves being framed and sent to jail for this kind of thing.


    ?Mona, whose father works for the CIA, is very aware of the filth deep within federal government agencies, but Mona didn''t care before, and it didn''t bother her anyway.


    ??But now that the man she loves is being targeted in a dirty way, Mona can''t hold back for a moment. Her subconscious thought is to throw the trouble away. She just wants the man she loves to be okay.


    ?Seeing the frowning Mona, Luo An didn''t say anything, just stretched out his hand to pull her up and kissed her.


    ?As time passed, the two let go of each other. Mona raised her head and stared at Luo An:


    ��You promised me?��


    ��Sorry.��


    ?Luo An shook his head and did not agree to Mona.


    ?Mona suddenly looked angry, and just as she was about to speak, Luo An covered the other person''s mouth just like Mona did before.


    ��Mona, the other party has already brought XZ things to our house. Do you think they will let us go even if we take a step back?��


    Being patient and retreating cannot solve any problems, Luo An knows this truth very well.


    Only by knocking the opponent down, defeating fear, defeating him, and beating him to death can the fundamental problem be solved.


    ��Trust me, Mona, we can handle this case.��


    ??Already holding the purple notebook in his hand, Luo An''s eyes flashed with a cold light.


    ??He is now becoming more and more interested in what case Captain Owen was investigating before he died, and what is the situation behind this case.

 Chapter 310： The sudden appearance of the Supervision Department

    Chapter 310 The sudden appearance of the Supervision Department


    The next day, in the morning, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    ?Mona sat at her desk, typing on the computer keyboard with a look of displeasure.


    ??Lacie lowered her head and continued to rummage through Team Leader Owen''s office supplies. Luo An sat in another unoccupied chair, drinking tea while silently recalling the details of the case.


    ??What Luo An can be sure of now is that Captain Owen and his police school classmate Pearson were definitely silenced by the mastermind behind the scenes because they knew about some problems.


    The two of them knew what the problem was. Luo An was not in a hurry to think about it. Someone would take the initiative to send clues later.


    ??What Luo An is thinking now is that a thoughtful person like Team Leader Owen will definitely hide the clues about that matter.


    But where are the clues hidden? Have they been stolen or snatched away by someone behind the scenes?


    Lacie checked the house of Team Leader Irving carefully last night when sending Ms. Rebecca home, and found nothing hidden.


    Michelle also checked the items in Team Leader Owen��s office, but found no hidden items either.


    Luo An picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and whispered to himself:


    ��Is it really taken away by the mastermind behind the scenes?��


    ��Everyone!��


    At this moment, Michelle pushed open the door of the investigation team and walked in, raising the documents in her hand:


    "Pearson''s autopsy report, as well as the booby traps and mechanical structures in Pearson''s home, the Trace Inspection Department has completed the inspection!"


    Hearing the booby trap, Lacey still gritted her teeth.


    She is only in her thirties this year, and there are still a lot of girls waiting for her. Lacey does not want to die young.


    "Thanks a lot."


    ??Luo An handed Michelle a cup of coffee, took the folder and started to look at it.


    The Trace Inspection Section found no other fingerprints or footprints at Pearson''s home. The specific cause of Pearson''s death was consistent with Luo An''s previous judgment. It was indeed that he had been shot in the forehead before.


    ??The gunshot he and Lacey heard was just a inducing device to lure the eager two people to open the apartment door, and was never killed by a booby trap.


    ? ?The mechanical devices in the apartment are indeed very ingenious and cannot be made by ordinary people. The Trace Inspection Section stated in the report that there are two guys in the FBI database who can make such mechanical devices.


    ?One of them is currently studying in a prison in Los Angeles, and the other has gone to chat with God due to a car accident two years ago.


    ��Let��s go to jail and interrogate that guy!��


    After Luo An finished reading the report, Lacey also took it and took a look at it. Then she made fists with both hands and made a squeaking sound, with a cruel look on her face:


    ��Ask that guy in prison, who did he pass on his technology to?��


    For some motivated people, federal prison is a very good place, because they can learn new knowledge inside that cannot be learned outside, but can make a fortune.


    ? Luo An closed the folder and put it aside, picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip:


    "Not urgent."


    ??Looking at this scene, Lacey��s forehead was covered with black lines, and question marks popped up on her head:


    ��Why are we not anxious? That guy is definitely related to the booby trap that almost killed us! Aren��t we going to interrogate him?��


    "us��"


    ?? Luo An wanted to give a random reason to excuse Lacey, but as soon as he started speaking, he suddenly remembered something and his words suddenly stopped.


    With a flash of light in his eyes, he lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds. Luo An put the tea cup aside, suddenly stretched out his hand to pull the confused Lacey to him, and whispered:


    ��Lacie, there is a task for you. You must do it yourself. You must be careful during the process and do not attract anyone��s attention..."


    ?)


    Hearing this, Lacey looked confused, and then her face darkened little by little. After hearing Luo An''s words, she asked in a low voice:


    "are you sure?"


    "uncertain."


    ?Luo An shook his head and replied:


    "But this is the best possibility I can think of." "OK, leave it to me."


    ?The matter was important, and among the four members of the special investigation team, she was the only one suitable to carry out this task. Lacey nodded and agreed without hesitation, went to the equipment room for a few minutes, then opened the door of the investigation team and left quickly.


    Roan and Lacey��s exchanges were so low that Mona and Michelle didn��t hear what they said. Seeing Lacey leave the office area, Mona turned around and asked:


    ��What did you ask Lacey to do?��


    ��A little thing.��


    Roan picked up the tea cup again. Seeing this, Michelle no longer asked about this matter, but asked another question:


    ��Then what is the direction of our next work?��


    Luo An thought for a moment and said:


    ��Mona, please check Pearson��s work content and interpersonal relationships.


    ?Michelle, please go into the FBI database and check the identity information of the prisoner in prison who can make mechanical booby traps, and the specific contents of the case in which he was imprisoned. "


    Mona rolled her eyes at Roan and turned to start working, while Michelle agreed with a smile:


    "no problem."


    ?As time passed, Pearson''s information was quickly checked by Mona, and the information of the prisoner in the prison was also checked by Michelle.


    ??Just when Luo An was about to check the computer screen, there was a sudden knock on the door of the Special Investigation Team.


    Luo An said casually:


    ��Please come in!��


    After the words fell, the door of the special investigation team was pushed open, and five white men in suits and ties, with a blue sign on their chest and serious faces, walked in.


    ?Mona raised her head in confusion, while Michelle''s pupils shrank.


    Without waiting for Luo An to ask questions, the middle-aged white man in the lead revealed his identity:


    ��Hello, I am Horst from the Supervision Department.


    ?Deputy Leader Roan Greenwood, we have something that we need your cooperation with. Please come with us. "


    ��Department of Supervision?��


    Hearing this, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, while Mona looked solemn and looked back at Michelle.


    Michelle stood up and walked to Luo An''s side, looked at Horst, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner:


    ��According to Article 19 of Example 3 of the Office of the Ombudsman��s Work Guidelines, when there is a situation that requires the cooperation of FBI management personnel, and..., the specific content of the required cooperation must be made clear to the other party in person.


    Roan Greenwood is the deputy leader of our special investigation team. He assumes the authority of the team leader when he is absent and is one of the managers stipulated in the regulations.


    So, please make it clear now why you came to our deputy leader of the special investigation team this time. Otherwise, deputy leader Roan Greenwood has the right to reject your request. "


    ����


    ??What Michelle said made Luo An and Mona look at her with admiration, and several agents from the Supervision Department also looked at her with surprise.


    ��Michelle Davis, former Special Agent in Charge of the FBI��s Prosecutor��s Office in Washington.��


    ?Horst was not very surprised. He had already investigated the files of everyone in the Special Investigation Team before coming here.


    ?So after hearing Michelle��s words, Horst��s expression remained unchanged and he said directly without any nonsense:


    ��According to our investigation, the bullet that killed Detective Pearson of the Department of Criminal Justice came from one of the guns owned by a gunman from the William Maas Gang.


    When your special investigation team dealt with the William Mas Gang some time ago, Deputy Team Leader Greenwood found two of the guns. We suspect that Deputy Team Leader Greenwood secretly hid the other guns. "


    ��What?��


    Hearing this, Michelle subconsciously looked back at Luo An, while Mona''s pupils trembled as she realized something.


    Luo An didn��t panic at all when he heard this. He looked at Michelle and asked with a smile:


    ��Michelle, I have a question about the rules, I would like to ask.��


    Michelle: ��?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 311： Clues held by the Supervision Department

    Chapter 311: Clues held by the Supervision Department


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Michelle hurriedly said:


    "what is the problem?"


    ��A small problem.��


    Roan looked at Horst in front of him:


    ��Do I have the authority to ask team leader Potente Byrne that you, and Mona, come with me to the Inspection Department?��


    ?Horst frowned slightly when he heard this, and several detectives behind him frowned. One of them even planned to interrupt Michelle.


    Michelle ignored the other party and nodded:


    ��You have this power under Article 22...


    ?However, when you are being interrogated, we can only watch and cannot help you answer questions. "


    ��It��s okay, you can go if you can.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, looked at the detective behind Horst and grinned:


    ��I��m just a little worried that the Ministry of Supervision will use dirty methods when interrogating me, and some people will need to watch and testify.��


    "you��"


    ??The faces of the agents behind Horst changed when they heard this, but Horst raised his hand to block it and asked coldly:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, when do you plan to come with us?��


    ��Michelle, go and call the team leader Potente Byrne.��


    ?Luo An patted Michelle on the shoulder and asked her to go out and call someone, then spread her hands:


    ��When the team leader comes, I will go with you.��


    After saying that, Luo An ignored the attitude of these guys, turned around and pulled Mona to the depths of the office area, and whispered:


    ��Mona, I have something for you.��


    Mona, who had an anxious face and had realized something, wanted to speak, but Luo An covered her mouth. She only heard Luo An whisper:


    ��You stay in the special investigation team later. Except for me and Lacey, no one can enter the gate.


    ??If the opponent wants to force his way in, shoot! "


    ??Mona wanted to ask Michelle or Potente-Byrne, but when she saw the cold light in Roan''s eyes, she realized something, hesitated for a few seconds, and nodded silently.


    Luo An breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this and whispered:


    "Believe me."


    "Um."


    ??Mona didn''t say much, she just kissed the corner of Luo An''s mouth gently from a direction that the group of agents couldn''t see.


    ?Team leader Potente Byrne arrived soon, and when he saw Horst and the others, his face was not generally ugly.


    ??But seeing Roan grinning at him, Potente-Born suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Horst and said coldly:


    ��Lead the way!��


    Horst didn''t say anything, and turned around to walk to the elevator not far away. Luo An, Michelle and Potente-Byrne were sandwiched by other agents. Mona stayed at the door of the Special Investigation Team, watching. Looking at Luo An''s back, his eyes were full of worry.


    ����


    Supervision Department, interrogation room.


    ?Luo An was sitting on a chair, without handcuffs on his hands, with his legs crossed, looking around him with a curious expression.


    ??This interrogation room is larger than that of an ordinary investigation team, and it is well decorated. There are more surveillance cameras in all directions.


    The time now is 2005, but Luo An is actually here, feeling the level of development in the next 15 or even 20 years.


    ??Roan was the only one in the interrogation room at this time. Next door to the interrogation room was the control room. Potente-Byrne and Michelle could only stay here.


    At this time, Potente-Born looked ugly, pointing at Horst and shouting angrily:


    ����#%*��motherfuc-r, how do you do things? Why do you think Roan Greenwood is the murderer of that Pearson?��


    ? Potente-Bourne felt like he was about to be **** off, and at the same time his heart felt cold.


    Years of experience in intrigues between life and death made him seriously suspect that Luo An was being tricked, and Luo An was currently investigating the murder of Team Leader Owen... ? ? ? Potente-Bourne felt awe-inspiring, and he was now a little unsure. Whether he was safe or not, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart. While he was cursing, he began to silently figure out what to do next...


    Michelle next to him looked at Luo An and remained silent.


    After so many days of communication, Michelle felt that Luo An was a little petty, a little fond of money, a little narcissistic, a little fond of bullying Lacey when he was fine... and many other shortcomings.


    ?Other than these, Luo An is still very serious most of the time, and there is no way he could be the murderer of Pearson.


    ??But he was in a humble position and had no evidence in his hand. Apart from praying silently, all Michelle could do was wait and guard the person responsible for interrogating Luo An to prevent him from doing something inconsistent with the regulations.


    ?Horst ignored Potente-Born and waited for a while before a female agent brought a cup of oriental tea. He picked up the cup of tea and led an agent out of the surveillance room and into the interrogation room.


    ��Good afternoon, Deputy Team Leader Greenwood.��


    Placing the tea on the table in front of Luo An, Horst sat on the chair opposite him and said:


    ��Now that you know why we��ve called you today, can you explain what��s going on with that gun?��


    ??Luo An picked up the cup of tea and smelled it without drinking it. He looked at Horst in front of him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled, turned to look at the male agent who came in with Horst, and asked:


    "May I have your name?"


    ?The male detective was slightly startled and replied:


    ��My name is Ulric.��


    ��Urik, what a good name.��


    Luo An smiled and nodded, then adjusted his suit, leaned back tactically, and replied:


    ��I believe you must have checked the file on the William Mas Gang case. I have already written about the two guns in it.


    If you haven��t checked it, check it now. "


    ??The gun mentioned by the inspection team was the weapon of one of the gunmen Luo An killed during the previous operation at the Zhidu Factory.


    ?The case was later found to be that the gunman had committed several crimes and had a total of three commonly used weapons, but during that factory operation, Luo An only encountered two.


    ��We did check the file on that case.��


    ?Horst took out a photo of the bullet found in Pearson��s head, placed it in front of Luo An, and asked:


    ��According to the description in the file, there was no one else around when you killed the gunman.��


    ��Hey, you guys are going a little too far.��


    Luo An spread his hands:


    ��When I killed the gunman, Potente Byrne, the team leader, was right behind me, less than two meters away from us.


    ??If I stole a gun, there was no way Potente-Byrne wouldn''t see it.


    Also, handling cases depends on evidence. From the time you appeared in front of me to talking to me now, I have not seen you produce any valid evidence in your hands. "


    ��Of course we have evidence.��


    ??Horst heard Luo An''s words and looked at Yurick beside him. Yurick immediately turned the screen of the computer he brought and showed the video inside to Luo An.


    There are two videos in total. The first one is from the night when Pearson was killed. The surveillance camera of the neighbor diagonally across from Pearson''s house captured a guy wearing black clothes and black pants with an unclear face sneaking into Pearson''s house.


    ??The second video was from the street behind the apartment where Luo An and Mona rented. The surveillance camera in a corner captured the scene of the man in black walking into the building where Luo An lived while avoiding people.


    ??The man in black was very similar to Luo An in terms of height, stature, body shape, etc., and he also wore a pair of the same sneakers that Luo An owned.


    ����


    After reading these two pieces of surveillance, Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly.


    ??He was very sure that he was definitely not the murderer of Pearson, and at this point in the video, Mona had not found Pearson yet.


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    ??While Luo An was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the interrogation room.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 312： Search Warrants and Roans Discovery

    Chapter 312 Search Warrant and Luo An��s Discovery


    ??A sudden knock on the door interrupted Luo An''s thinking. Horst stood up and walked to the door of the interrogation room. He whispered a few words to the visitor, took a piece of paper, and walked back to Luo An.


    ��This is a search warrant issued by the court.��


    ?Placing the paper with black and red fonts in front of Luo An, Horst said seriously:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, if you are really not the murderer of Pearson, then please accept the search warrant and don��t make it difficult for us.��


    Seeing the piece of paper in front of him that he usually handed to others, Luo An''s mind raced and he quickly figured out the logic behind the whole incident.


    "Hahaha��"


    ?Luo applauded and laughed:


    ��Awesome, so awesome!��


    ?Horst silently looked at the laughing Luo An without saying a word, but Yurik beside him could not sit still and said sharply:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood! If you still think you are an FBI, please cooperate with our work!��


    ��Don��t pressure me with such words!��


    Hearing Yurik��s words, the smile on Luo An��s face disappeared instantly, his eyes were full of cold light and he said coldly:


    ��Listen, as deputy chief of the FBI��s Los Angeles Division��s Special Investigations Unit, I will not refuse a search warrant issued by the court.


    But I also have a request, that is, before your Supervisory Department agents enter my house to search, they must let my agents check each of their clothes and pockets!


    I don��t want to be searched in my own home and find things that I haven��t even seen! "


    ?Horst''s expression remained unchanged after hearing this, but Yurik''s face turned red instantly:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, you...��


    ��Michelle!��


    Luo An did not give the other party a chance to speak, but directly shouted:


    ��I remember that according to FBI regulations, management personnel can make such a request! If I remember correctly, just smash the glass three times!��


    The air in the interrogation room was quiet for a few seconds, and then there was a knocking sound on the glass on the side.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Exactly three times.


    ��According to Example 14 and Article 7, management personnel may request the investigation team to temporarily select agents from a third-party team to search their own space.


    ?Deputy Team Leader Greenwood��s request is not excessive. "


    ?Horst nodded with a businesslike expression, and then glanced at Yurik next to him:


    ��Go back and copy the FBI��s internal regulations ten times and bring them to me when you��re done.��


    "��Yes, sir."


    ?Luo An grinned and grabbed the search warrant on the table:


    ��Let��s go, everyone, where should we go first?


    My rented house, or my special investigation team? "


    ?Horst selectively ignored Luo An''s strange aura, and even opened the door to the interrogation room for Luo An:


    ��The Special Investigation Team is in the building, go there first.��


    ����


    ??In the corridor outside the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, Luo An stood beside him with a search warrant and folded his arms. Mona was responsible for searching the pockets of the female detectives from the Supervision Department, and Michelle searched the remaining male detectives.


    ??Luo An originally planned to ask the team leader Potente Byrne to help search the male agents, but seeing Potente Byrne''s wide eyes, he finally did not dare to let him help.


    Soon, eight agents from the Supervision Department, five men and three women, completed the search. Luo Anunun mouthed, and Horst waved his hand and sent them into the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    Luo An and the others had not been in Los Angeles for a long time, and they had not handled many cases, so the office area was quickly inspected.


    The team leader''s office is even simpler. Luo An seldom works there on weekdays. He mostly sits in the office area outside with Mona and the others, so it is very clean inside and there is nothing at all.


    In less than half an hour, the eight agents walked out of the Special Investigation Team office area with empty hands.


    Seeing the leading detective shaking his head at Horst and Mona��s unkind look, Luo An said coldly:


    ��When you go to my rented house to search, your hands and feet should be clean, and everything should be put back in its place, otherwise..."


    ��Watch your attitude, Deputy Leader Greenwood.�� Horst glanced at Luo An:


    ��Verbally threatening my agents, I��ll remember that.��


    Luo An grinned:


    "Then after today''s incident is over, I will let you remember me for the rest of your life."


    ����


    Outside the apartment rented by Luo An and Mona.


    Because Mona also lives here, Michelle is responsible for the inspection of the female detectives of the Inspection and Supervision Department, and the inspection of the male detectives is given to the team leader Potente Byrne.


    Potent-Byrne: ������


    ?Seeing the other party glaring at him, Luo An shook the search warrant in his hand with an innocent face:


    ?Don''t blame me, he is the only man in the special investigation team. If you want to blame, just blame Horst!


    ?Horst fell silent when he saw Potente-Born staring at him.


    ?Three women and five men were quickly checked by the two men, then they opened the door and walked into the apartment rented by Luo An and Mona.


    ?One of the male agents quickly found the same sneakers as the Man in Black. Horst waved his hand and motioned for his men to put them on. Seeing this, Roan patted Mona''s arm and added:


    "Mona, go to the trace inspection department with them later. Don''t let someone take away the dirt on the soles of my sneakers."


    Horst glanced at Luo An and said nothing. Some of the agents from the Supervision Department next to him were almost furious at Luo An''s strange words.


    Time passed by. The apartment that Luo An and Mona rented was not small. There were several rooms. In addition, there were a lot of things in Mona''s bedroom, so eight detectives searched it for nearly three hours. Just finished checking.


    A male detective came out:


    ��Sir, the weapon suspected of killing Agent Pearson has not been found.��


    After a few minutes, a female detective also came out:


    ��Sir, we have found nothing unusual.��


    Hearing this, Horst was silent and frowned slightly. Ukri behind him took a step forward and asked in a serious voice:


    ��No clues found?��


    Before the eight detectives could reply, Luo An, who was standing aside, yawned and said with a smile:


    ��It seems that Mr. Ukri doubts the working ability of several of your colleagues. How about you go in and search them again?��


    After Luo An finished speaking, the eight detectives who searched the room suddenly looked at Ukri with unkind expressions. Ukri''s face turned green when he saw this:


    ��That��s not what I meant! You...��


    "alright!"


    ?Horst suddenly spoke and interrupted Ukri loudly. He looked at Luo An intently and said seriously:


    ��I��m sorry today, Deputy Leader Greenwood. If there is any progress later, I will contact you again.��


    Having said that, Horst waved his hand and prepared to lead his agents away from here, but Luo An suddenly jumped out and was firmly blocked in front:


    ��Leader Horst, I��ve been tormenting me for so long today, so it��s not appropriate to leave like this now.��


    "What do you want?"


    ��The murder of Pearson is the case of our special investigation team.��


    ??Luo An sneered: "Give us the video in front!"


    ?Horst did not refuse, but he also had his own demands:


    ��We need to keep the original, and we can only give you a copy.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Seeing Luo An nod in agreement, Horst breathed a subtle sigh of relief. Just as he was about to continue walking forward, he found that Luo An was still standing in front of him and did not move.


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, what else do you want?��


    ?Luo An raised his arms and grinned:


    ��I want him!��


    ?Looking along the guidance, everyone discovered that Luo An��s target was actually the Ukri behind Horst.


    ??Seeing the tense and overwhelmed Yukri, Luo An sneered from the bottom of his heart.


    Just like what he said while laughing earlier, Luo An finally figured out the logic behind this matter.


    There are three updates today, and there will be three updates tomorrow. Thank you all book friends for your support! ()


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 313： The mastermind behind the plan to frame Luo An

    Chapter 313 The mastermind��s plan to frame Luo An


    ?Outside the apartment where Luo An and Mona rented, everyone looked at Luo An and Yurik, who was pointed at by Luo An, with confusion.


    ?Luo An ignored everyone''s doubts. He had already figured out the role of the Supervision Department in this matter:


    Tool person.


    ??Those two videos he saw before, Luo An was very sure that the person in them was definitely not him.


    ??When the Supervision Department took a search warrant to search the apartment rented by Luo An, his pair of sneakers of the same style as the man in black would definitely be sent to the Trace Inspection Department to test the composition of the soil on the soles.


    ??Roan did not wear those shoes to Pearson''s house, and when he and Mona inspected the house before, he did not find that his shoes had been tampered with.


    So the mud on the soles of that pair of sneakers will definitely not be the same as the soil test results of the Pearson family.


    ??The real purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is not the pair of sneakers, but to use those two videos to reasonably apply for a search warrant from the court to search Luo An''s home!


    Don��t forget, there was an overseas account in the bathroom of the apartment Luo An rented before!


    ??If the Ministry of Supervision discovers the overseas account, what follows will be interesting:


    The composition of the soil in the soles of Deputy Team Leader Roan Greenwood��s sneakers is indeed different from the details of the soil in the Pearson family. Our Supervision Department can temporarily exclude him from the suspicion of killing Pearson.


    But we found some overseas accounts with US$700,000 in funds that he could not explain at the home of Deputy Team Leader Roan Greenwood.


    There is a lot of money in those accounts, and it has been cleaned very well. The Ministry of Supervision can definitely arrest Roan Greenwood and interrogate him on some financial charges such as "huge property with unknown source".


    ??As long as Luo An is detained by the Ministry of Supervision, everything that follows will be easier. The mastermind behind the scenes has many ways to send Luo An to prison for a few years.


    After all, the IRS likes to get involved in matters related to money, and Luo An has no way to prove that those accounts have nothing to do with him.


    ??The customs in American prisons are well known. As an FBI law enforcement officer, Luo An will definitely be targeted when he enters. There is also a high probability of being shot in the back and committing suicide.


    ??While Luo An is in custody, other people in the Special Investigation Team will most likely be at a loss, and it will be easier for those behind the scenes to erase their knowledge of the investigation into the murder of Team Leader Owen.


    By then, some evidence suddenly disappears for unknown reasons. The investigation team that takes over the murder of Captain Owen from the Special Investigation Team will definitely have a greater difficulty in handling the case, and the masterminds behind the scenes will basically be able to sit back and relax.


    ??The whole plan went smoothly, link by link. After Luo An figured it out, he wanted to applaud the mastermind behind the scenes:


    They have a lot of experience in using political means to easily and reasonably send people to prison, which is worthy of the liberal democratic federal style.


    Luo An, who had figured out all this, sneered from the bottom of his heart. Thanks to his killer abilities and methods in his previous life, he discovered the overseas account in advance, otherwise he would definitely be in a very, very passive situation now.


    As for where the overseas account is now?


    After discovering the overseas account last night, Luo An asked Mona to use the Internet to create a program. That program would launder the money in the overseas account to an account in Africa that only Luo An and Mona knew after 24 hours.


    ? There is no reason to refuse the gift sent by the enemy. You can keep the sugar coating and throw the shells back conveniently. Don��t give up the US$700,000 in vain.


    ?The reason why the computer program is set to 24 hours is because Luo An concluded that the mastermind behind the scenes would definitely attack him within this time.


    ?The other party has definitely investigated Luo An. With his ability, in another 24 hours, he will definitely find more clues related to the mastermind behind the scenes.


    ��Sorry, Deputy Leader Greenwood.��


    ?Horst pressed down Roan��s arm and refused:


    "you have not��"


    "I have!"


    Before Horst finished speaking, Roan interrupted him and said bluntly:


    ��Today you inexplicably intervened in the case of my special investigation team, called me a murderer, put me in an interrogation room, and searched my home!


    ??I now suspect that this Ukri is the murderer of Pearson! He did this just to frame me!


    So, as the deputy leader of the special investigation team, I now ask him to cooperate with our investigation for 24 hours. Is there any problem? "


    ������xN


    Hearing Luo An''s unabashed expression of revenge, Mona and Michelle looked at each other in silence. Potente-Bourne was stunned for a moment, then laughed, folded his arms and looked at Huo in such a funny way. ster.


    A group of agents from the Supervision Department were so angry that they almost vomited blood. Horst, whose expression had not changed much, subconsciously twitched his lips when he heard these words.


    Seeing that Luo An''s attitude was so resolute and he would not let them leave unless they agreed, Horst pondered for a few seconds and patted Yurik on the shoulder: "Cooperate with Deputy Team Leader Greenwood''s investigation, I believe that especially The investigation team will not do anything that violates FBI regulations."


    ??Horst said the following words while looking at Luo An. Luo An grinned and did not refute, turning around to let Horst and the others clear the way to leave.


    ?Horst patted Yurik on the shoulder and led them away. He could see that Luo An was a man of rules and was not worried about Luo An using torture on Yurik. He was just torturing Yurik for a while to vent his anger.


    Horst didn��t panic. It happened that Yurik��s recent work behavior and attitude made him dissatisfied. Letting Roan train Yurik would be good for his future growth.


    ?Urik, who was abandoned by his superiors and colleagues: ������


    ��Hey hey hey����


    After Horst and others had all left, Luo An stepped forward and patted the frightened Yurik on the shoulder, his face almost turning green. Without giving him a chance to speak, he said directly:


    ��Michelle! Take our suspect back to Investigation Team No. 5! I will interrogate him personally later!��


    "no problem."


    Michelle nodded, took out a pair of handcuffs from his waist, walked up to Ulric, and asked:


    ��Go by yourself? Or should I pull you along?��


    ??Urik smiled bitterly, turned around and walked towards the exit with Michelle.


    ?Team leader Potente Byrne chuckled:


    ��Luo An, please be careful.��


    ��Okay, sir, I won��t make it difficult for you.��


    ��Good.��


    Hearing Luo An��s assurance, Potente-Born nodded with satisfaction and added:


    "I will report this matter to the director later. The Supervision Department went too far this time."


    Luo An smiled:


    ��Thank you, sir.��


    ? Potente-Bourne waved his hands and said nothing, and turned around and left.


    As Potente Bourne''s figure gradually disappeared from his eyes, the smile on Roan''s face slowly disappeared. After pondering for a few seconds, he turned around and whispered to Mona next to him:


    ��Mona, go to the Trace Inspection Department and pay attention to those sneakers. Don��t let anyone tamper with them.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona nodded and agreed. She was in a state of ups and downs with her mouth slightly raised. Just as she was about to speak, Luo An continued to whisper in her ear:


    ��Also, take Yurik��s cell phone when you go back.


    ?Carefully investigate this guy��s interpersonal relationships, call records, and his specific whereabouts in the past two days! "


    "Um?"


    ??Mona''s expression changed, and when she saw the twinkling light in Luo An''s eyes, she immediately realized something. She nodded vigorously, hugged Luo An, turned around and ran quickly towards the exit.


    The place that was bustling just now finally became quiet. Luo An saw everyone leaving through the window. He pondered for a while, took out his mobile phone and called Lacey:


    ��It��s me, Luo An, how are you doing over there?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 314： The clues Lacey found

    Chapter 314 The clues Lacey found


    ��Fu-k!��


    After Luo An finished speaking, Lacey on the other end of the phone immediately used several modal particles in a row, and then asked with excitement and shock:


    ��Luo An! You are so amazing! How could you guess that they are really here?!��


    Hearing Lacey say that she really found something, Luo An was slightly relieved and explained with a smile:


    ��I guessed it. I just used a little elimination method.��


    ��You��re so **** smart!��


    ??Lacie on the other end of the phone praised Luo An crazily after hearing this. Luo An had a smile on his face and motioned to Lacey to talk more and not stop.


    ����


    Lacey, who was holding the mobile phone, rolled her eyes when she heard this, looked at the thing in her hand, and asked:


    ��This is a hard drive, what do I do next?��


    ��Go buy a laptop, import stuff into it, and drop it off at a store in South Los Angeles.��


    ? Luo An pondered for a while, then named a store, indicating that he would arrive in an hour, and finally added:


    ��Later, take your hard drive and find a secluded place to rest for a while. Don��t answer anyone��s contact except me, okay?��


    "no problem!"


    ?For Lacey, who was born in the intelligence department, disguising her identity and hiding are her basic skills, so she agreed without hesitation.


    ?Hang up the phone, Luo An sat down on the sofa in the living room and closed his eyes to rest, silently thinking about what to do next.


    It is no exaggeration to say that the murder of Team Leader Owen is the most difficult case that Luo An considers to be the most difficult case since he came to this world.


    The previous cases were really unsolvable, so Luo An still had the option of passing the case to others.


    ??But in this case, the other party dared to send someone to kill the leader of the investigation team, could make reasonable use of the Supervision Department in the FBI, and could also send someone to hide stolen goods in his home...


    ��Interesting, really interesting.��


    After thinking for a while, Luo An grinned, stood up and walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out a few large steaks and started cooking.


    The first wave of attempts by the mastermind behind the scenes to frame him were blocked, but as time progresses, we cannot rule out the possibility that the mastermind behind the scenes might jump over the wall and turn the table over, and directly send people to attack him.


    ?Faced with the possible war that would follow, Luo An decided to fill his stomach first.


    There are still a few bottles of stamina potion, but they need to be kept temporarily. Luo An doesn��t know what will happen next.


    Forty minutes later, after the steaks were cooked, Luo An ate three pieces for himself, brought one piece each to Mona and Michelle for dinner, then walked out of the apartment and drove away.


    Halfway along the way, Luo An parked the car next to a large shopping mall, got out of the car and entered inside.


    Using his killer skills and his previous experience of being here, Luo An changed his clothes. He hid in a corner and found two agents from the Supervision Department who were following him. He sneered and left here through another road and went to The store he told Lacey about before.


    After picking up the computer at the agreed location, Luo An did not return to the large shopping mall. Instead, he walked around on a road. He checked again and found that no one was following him. Finally, he stopped a taxi and went there. FBI Los Angeles building.


    In a large shopping mall in the distance, two agents from the Supervision Department are still searching and waiting for Luo An...


    ����


    Special Investigation Team, office area, 5:30 pm.


    ��The steak I brought for you.��


    Luo An, who put on his suit again, pushed open the door and handed two steaks to Mona and Michelle respectively, and then smiled at Michelle:


    ��I made it myself, let��s see how it tastes?��


    "Thanks."


    Michelle took the steak, opened the box and smelled the fragrant aroma, raised his head and said in surprise:


    ��I didn��t expect that Team Leader Luo An could actually cook and his skills were so good.��


    ��It��s a small thing, just get used to it. I��ve incorporated some Eastern methods.��


    Luo An chuckled and picked up the tea cup on the table to drink. Mona next to her was eating steak while handing over a folder and mumbling incoherently: "The report from the Trace Inspection Department has come out. They said Your sneakers haven��t been to the land near the Pearson home.��


    "Um."


    ?Luo An took the folder without looking at it, which was expected.


    Michelle took a bite of the steak. The traditional yet novel yet delicious taste made her raise her eyebrows. She swallowed the steak in her mouth and asked:


    ��That Yurik is in the interrogation room now, are you going to interrogate him later?��


    ��It��s not going to be used for the time being, just keep it closed.��


    ?Luo An waved his hand and rejected the suggestion of interrogating the other party and providing him with dinner. He would still starve without eating a meal.


    ??Then he pulled Mona and Michelle into the team leader''s office, handed the laptop he brought to Mona, and said with a serious face:


    ��This is the clue I asked Lacey to find. You can sort it out.��


    ???��


    Mona took the laptop and was stunned for a moment. After seeing the content inside, her pupils shrank:


    "These are...these are the cases investigated by Captain Owen and Pearson, and the clues they compiled about that case?! Where did you ask Lacey to find it?"


    Not only was Mona shocked, Michelle also looked at Luo An with surprise, and even forgot to continue chewing the steak in his mouth.


    ��In a place we have neglected.��


    Luo An made himself a new cup of tea and showed a calm smile to the two of them.


    ?As mentioned before, Team Leader Owen is such a thoughtful person, and he will definitely hide the clues he secretly investigates.


    But there is none at home, not in the office, and Team Leader Owen has no other women outside, and he has never opened a safe in the bank.


    Luo An thought about it and only thought of a place that they had found before but left behind:


    ??The car was shot through the front windshield, and the car behind it was repaired by Team Leader Irving at his own expense.


    ��What?��


    ��In the car?��


    ?Hearing Luo An''s words, Mona and Michelle were shocked at first, and then they all reacted and patted their heads together.


    ??Yes, that car is indeed the safest place.


    ??The masterminds wouldn��t have thought of this, because they sent someone to shoot the car as a warning to Team Leader Irving.


    ??The investigation team that came to investigate Captain Irving''s life experience would also ignore this car, because they would only notice the fact that Captain Irving was threatened with a gunshot during his lifetime.


    ��Team Leader Owen is worthy of being an old man who has worked in the FBI for more than ten years.��


    ?Mona and Michelle were very emotional about this, and then looked at Luo An with eyes full of admiration.


    ��Thank you to Lacey for this.��


    Luo An waved his hand, Lacey put a lot of effort into this matter.


    Because Lacey had to sneak into the car secretly and find an unknown piece of information without disturbing the logistics department, the No. 2 Investigation Team and other passerby agents. This was a very laborious and difficult task. Work.


    Learning that Roan asked Lacey to hide temporarily with the original clues, Mona and Michelle said nothing. This was indeed the most suitable for the current situation.


    ��Open the folder and take a look.��


    ??Luo An shook the teacup in his hand and raised his chin towards the laptop. Mona stopped talking nonsense and started typing quickly on the keyboard with her fingers.


    Soon, a line of text appeared in front of the three people''s eyes. Mona and Michelle''s expressions instantly became extremely ugly, while Luo An showed an expression of realization.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 315： 30 million US dollars, 9 million US dollars, too dark

    Chapter 315 US$30 million, US$9 million, too dark


    At the top of the document on the computer screen, a line of text is displayed:


    FBI Agents and SWAT Team Members Injury, Disability Retirement Security Fund.


    ??The specific purpose of this fund is clearly stated in the text.


    ?This is located in Los Angeles. Many rich people and celebrities want to have a good relationship with the FBI, so they often donate to FB and LAPD in Los Angeles.


    The FBI also allocates a fund here every year. After years of accumulation and investment, the money in this fund has reached nearly 30 million US dollars.


    ??Team leader Irving stated in the document that there is a problem with the accounts of this fund. According to his and Pearson''s investigation, some guys stole nearly 9 million US dollars from this fund!


    "Wow."


    Seeing these words, a flash of enlightenment flashed in Luo An''s eyes, and he finally understood why the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to kill Team Leader Owen and Silence Pearson.


    9 million US dollars is a large number worth risking for most people in the Federation.


    ��Shit!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    After reacting, Mona and Michelle cursed in a low voice. All agents performing tasks on the front line can enjoy benefits from this fund. The money can definitely save their lives at critical moments.


    After all, they know exactly what the federal ��free medical care�� is.


    How can we not make people angry when the money that can save their lives is stolen by some people?


    "calm down."


    ??An unknown Mr. Luo An, who already had three small goals, patted the two of them on the shoulders and motioned for Mona to continue checking the contents of the computer.


    ??The top priority is to see where Team Leader Owen has investigated and which suspects he has found.


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona took a deep breath and continued typing on the keyboard.


    ?According to the information of Team Leader Owen, this case was first discovered by a front-line SWAT team member, but he was silenced before he could report the incident.


    When Pearson was working in the Department of Criminal Justice, he heard about this from a criminal by chance. As soon as he was about to investigate in detail, the criminal hanged himself in prison because he felt that he was guilty.


    From then on, Pearson began to secretly investigate. After a long period of observation, he determined that Captain Owen did not know about it, so he roped in Captain Owen to join the gang.


    With the help of Captain Owen, an experienced investigation team leader, the two men''s investigation progressed rapidly, and they soon found a reliable informant who knew a lot of inside information.


    ?Then the informant disappeared after get off work one day.


    ?This incident shocked Team Leader Irving and Pearson. They hurriedly suspended the investigation for a period of time, and only resumed operations half a month later.


    By this time, Team Leader Irving and Pearson had already targeted ten targets. After all, stealing money from the foundation is not an easy task. It requires high-level participation and must involve multi-party cooperation.


    ??That day, Team Leader Owen drove to the dock, intending to discuss with Pearson which person to start the investigation first.


    Then Captain Owen was shot, and Pearson left this world with him not long after.


    ��Dark, so dark.��


    After reading the information, Luo An shook his head repeatedly, while Mona and Michelle looked very ugly.


    ??Because among the ten suspects listed by Team Leader Irving, there were not only the financial director in charge of the fund, but also the deputy director of the Los Angeles branch of the FBI, a senior executive from the Supervision Department, a senior executive from the Criminal Justice Department, a senior executive from the SWAT team...


    ��Gulu.��


    ??Mona swallowed her saliva, looked back at Luo An, and said in a somewhat unpleasant tone:


    ��Luo An, who should we investigate first?��


    Most of the ten suspects are of higher status and rank than those in their special investigation team.


    ��Don��t worry about these people yet.��


    ?Seeing that Mona and Michelle looked embarrassed, Luo An reached out and patted their shoulders, showed a reassuring smile, and asked:


    ��Mona, I asked you to investigate the Yurik in the interrogation room. How did your investigation go?��


    ? ? "Urik?" ? ? ?Mona was stunned for a moment, took the laptop that Michelle handed to her, and asked while typing:


    ��I don��t quite understand why you want to check him.��


    ��Because my gut tells me there��s something wrong with him.��


    After a casual prevarication with Mona, Luo An got a pair of hygiene balls.


    ? Luo An didn��t care either. He didn��t lie to Mona. He really thought there was something wrong with Ulric.


    ?But the reason is not intuition, but the "emotional perception" in the mind.


    When Horst led the inspectors from the Supervision Department into the Special Investigation Team, Luo An turned on the "emotional perception" in his mind. It wasn''t until they all left the rental apartment that Luo An turned off the "emotional perception".


    During this period, Horst''s impression of Luo An was always an unchanging coldness. The feelings of other agents were similar. Only when Luo An provoked them, his attitude became colder.


    ?But Yurik was different. As soon as Luoan turned on his "emotional perception", that stinging evil feeling came over him.


    Luo An, who had some guesses, continued to test Yurik:


    ??When Luo An said that the Supervision Department had no evidence, Yurick, who showed the video, was extremely proud; Luo An clapped his hands and laughed, and Yurick felt even more disgusted.


    ??Luo An proposed to inspect the other party first before allowing the search. Yurik was stunned at first, and then his face was very dissatisfied, but he was very proud in his heart.


    ??When his colleagues searched Luo An''s apartment, Yurik was very calm and even a little happy; when his colleagues found nothing, Yurik was first extremely shocked, and then felt an unspeakable fear...


    After many tests, Luo An was 100% sure that Yurick knew about overseas accounts.


    ?Of course, Yurik may not necessarily know about the overseas account itself, because his technical skills are average and he is unable to sneak into the apartment secretly.


    What Luo An was referring to was the mastermind behind the scenes, who most likely told Yurick that there was evidence in the apartment that could crucify Luo An, but the other party did not tell Yurick what the evidence itself was.


    ??Afterwards, when Luo An asked Horst for the two surveillance videos, he carefully observed everyone''s expressions.


    ??Other agents from the Supervision Department all glanced at Yurick subconsciously, and Yurick pursed his lips slightly.


    ?This shows that the two surveillance videos are most likely Horst''s given by Yurik.


    ?Through these circumstances, Luo An judged that this guy Yurick should be the tool of the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, the mastermind behind the scenes has a relatively high status and cannot handle everything himself.


    ��I checked Yurik��s cell phone and call history.��


    ?Mona typed on the computer keyboard for a moment and shrugged:


    ��But no abnormalities were found.��


    Luo An did not panic and continued to ask:


    ��What was his itinerary in the previous 48 hours?��


    ??The man behind the scenes wants to frame Luo An, so he must hand over the surveillance video to Yurik, so the other party must meet.


    The surveillance video does not exceed 48 hours, so the time when Yurik and the other party met was definitely within these 48 hours.


    ��Sorry, I haven��t noticed anything unusual yet.��


    ??Mona frowned slightly and played all the surveillance footage she found to Luo An, including Yurik leaving home, driving to work, buying coffee for breakfast, working, etc.


    ?Suddenly, Luo An pointed to a piece of surveillance video and said loudly:


    "Pause!"


    ??Mona quickly stopped playing the video. Here was a scene of Yurik getting off work last night and heading to the parking lot alone.


    ?Luo An pointed to the lower left corner of the surveillance screen and said solemnly:


    ��There��s a person here, zoom in a little bit.��


    ??Mona quickly zoomed in on the screen and quickly saw the man''s face clearly:


    It is the same Hunter Anderson from before, the captain of his SWAT team!


    Looking at this middle-aged white man who was similar in height and build to Luo An, Mona and Michelle frowned, and Luo An also crossed his arms over his chest and fell silent.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 316： The suspect, prepare in advance, go to the other partys house

    Chapter 316 Suspect, prepare in advance and go to the other party��s house


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ?The middle-aged white man who appeared on the computer was named Lawrence. He was the SWAT captain who stood with Potente-Byrne and answered each other''s questions during the previous factory operation.


    ? Lawrence has been working in SWAT for nearly ten years. He has rich experience and strong abilities. His colleagues have a very good impression of him and comment on him as a good teammate who is willing to help others and can be trusted to support others.


    After pondering for a moment, Luo An said:


    ��Mona, check the two guys who are good at making booby traps and mechanical structures to see if they have any connection with Lawrence.��


    ��OK.��


    Mona nodded. Just as she was about to investigate the case, Michelle next to her said:


    "No."


    "Um?"


    Roan and Mona both stopped and looked at her. Michelle walked out of the team leader''s office quickly, then came back quickly and handed Roan a folder:


    ��After I came back from the Trace Inspection Section, I carefully investigated the two suspects who could make mechanical structures.


    ?The suspect in jail has no connection to Lawrence.


    But the guy who died in a car accident two years ago committed the last crime during his lifetime when Lawrence led his men to arrest him. "


    ?The folder handed over by Michelle showed that the suspect was making a mechanical structure and preparing to commit a crime, and then he was blocked at home by Lawrence and the SWAT team.


    ?Afterwards, the mechanical structure was taken away by SWAT for a short period of time before being handed over to the Trace Inspection Department.


    ��Luo An, I found something.��


    ?At this moment, Mona suddenly called out to Roan and Michelle. She pointed at the computer and said:


    ��The night Captain Owen was killed, internal SWAT operational records show that Lawrence and one of his men went out on a mission.


    The content of the mission is confidential, so I can��t find out, but the execution time of the mission is not much different from the time of Captain Owen��s death.


    in addition��"


    ??Mona tapped the keyboard with her ten fingers and called up a consumption record:


    ��One of Lawrence��s team members once bought a pair of sneakers of the same style as yours.��


    ?This means that the man in black who appears in the surveillance is most likely Lawrence.


    ?This Lawrence is very skilled, and he might also be the one who sneaked into Luo An''s house to give him gifts.


    ��Tsk tsk tsk����


    ?Throwing the folder aside, Luo An smacked his tongue and said with a smile:


    ��Using an experienced SWAT captain to frame me was a big deal.��


    ?But then Luo An thought about it and realized that this was also a good thing.


    ?The other party used the SWAT captain to personally perform the task, which shows that the captain is a person who is more trusted by the mastermind behind the scenes. Lawrence and the mastermind behind the scenes must have had face-to-face contact.


    The confidential matter of stealing money from the fund cannot have too many people involved.


    ??The other party can contact Lawrence, and the circle of suspects has been narrowed a lot.


    This is also the reason why Luo An was not in a hurry to start investigating from those ten senior executives:


    The senior management will never take matters into their own hands. They have more time to deal with their own details and strive to be foolproof and flawless.


    It is undoubtedly very difficult to find a breakthrough from them.


    ? It is definitely easier to find clues from those at the bottom who actually execute the orders than those at the top.


    ?The only problem is how to get those at the bottom who execute orders to admit it, or how to closely connect these bottom with the top with clues.


    How to do this, Luo An didn''t panic, he had already thought of some ways.


    At the senior management of the Los Angeles branch, Luo An temporarily could not determine which problem is no problem, and he could not believe the other party for the time being.


    ??The Washington headquarters is out of reach, but Luo An has contacted Veranith and has made some preparations for the follow-up.


    ??Looking up at the clock not far away, it was already 6:15 in the afternoon. Luo An no longer hesitated and said:


    ��Michelle, you and Mona will keep the special investigation team with you later.


    ?Except for my orders, if anyone asks you to leave the office area, or if the other party wants to enter the office area, you cannot comply. Do you understand? "    "clear. "


    ?Michelle agreed decisively, while Mona frowned and realized some problems:


    ��Luo An, do you plan to go out alone next time?��


    "Um."


    ? Luo An nodded. He had a system and medicines. Even if he met an enemy, he was confident that he could defeat him or escape.


    But if you bring someone else with you, this very confidence will most likely be 28 points. He is... well, the other person is 8 points.


    "But��"


    Mona was still very worried. When she was about to say something, Luo An walked up to her and whispered:


    ��Mona, trust me.


    In addition, you must stay with the Special Investigation Team this time. I need your help with some things..."


    ?Hearing what Luo An whispered in her ear, Mona was stunned for a moment, and then nodded thoughtfully:


    ��No problem, leave it to me.��


    ����


    ? Half an hour later, everything was ready. Luo An called Lacey to make sure that the other party was hiding. After a few brief explanations, he walked into the equipment warehouse and left the special investigation team.


    ? Driving the SUV away from the FBI Los Angeles branch building, and doing a few simple laps on the road, Luo An grinned when he saw a familiar car through the rearview mirror, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the SUV rushed forward like lightning.


    ?Captain Lawrence��s home is in West Los Angeles. Luo An parked the SUV on the side of the road, briefly checked the equipment, walked to the apartment and knocked on the door.


    Soon, a middle-aged white man about the same height as Luo An, with brown eyes and a hooked nose opened the door.


    ��Good evening! Deputy Team Leader Greenwood!��


    Seeing Luo An, Lawrence''s eyes flashed with an imperceptible coldness, but a warm smile appeared on his face. While reaching out to Luo An, he asked:


    ��What do you want from me?��


    ?Luo An stretched out his hand and shook it, and said with a smile:


    ��I have a little question and I want to ask you for some clues. Can you come in and chat?��


    ?Lawrence quickly turned sideways and stretched out his hand into the room:


    ��Of course, come in!��


    "Thanks."


    ??Luo An walked into the apartment with a smile on his face. Lawrence behind him reached out to close the door and locked it quietly at the same time.


    Lawrence''s home is the most common two-story apartment on the market in Los Angeles. It has a small living room, kitchen and other rooms on the first floor.


    ??When Luo An walked into the living room, he saw someone who surprised him:


    Hunter-Anderson.


    Seeing Luo An, Hunter quickly got up from the sofa and stretched out his hand:


    ��Good evening, Deputy Leader Greenwood.��


    "Good evening."


    Luo An glanced at the wine glass on the table, shook hands with the other party with a smile, and then asked casually:


    "Why are you here? Are you communicating with Captain Lawrence? Did I come at the wrong time?"


    ��Stop joking, Deputy Leader Greenwood, we only like women.


    Hunter came to my house. He just had a small problem at work and didn��t know what to do. He came to talk to me. "


    ?Lawrence came over at this time, explained with a smile, then picked up the wine glass and poured a glass of wine for Luo An:


    "I wonder what question Deputy Team Leader Greenwood wants to ask me tonight? As long as I know, I will definitely not hide anything!"


    ��Don��t be too outgoing, just call me Luo An.��


    ??Luo An smiled and took the wine glass, clinked it with Lawrence and Hunter, and then sat down on the sofa:


    ��Since Captain Lawrence said this, I will stop talking nonsense.


    I would like to ask, Captain Lawrence, how did you feel when you shot and killed Captain Owen? "


    As soon as the words fell, the air in the living room became quiet for an instant.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 317： Luo An: These are the people I’m waiting for

    Chapter 317 Luo An: These are the people I��m waiting for


    ??As Luo An spoke, an imperceptible cold light flashed through Lawrence''s eyes without changing his expression. Hunter''s hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and his eyes subconsciously turned to Lawrence.


    Seeing Hunter''s actions and Hunter''s cold and unconcealed distaste for himself but unabashed distaste for Lawrence in "Emotional Perception", Luo An''s mouth moved slightly, and he seemed to have gained something unexpected.


    ?But Hunter is not important now, Lawrence is the key.


    ��Sorry, Deputy Leader Greenwood.��


    The air in the living room was quiet for a few seconds, Lawrence put down the wine glass and shook his head:


    ��I can��t hear����


    ��Rooney Jean!��


    Before Lawrence could finish speaking, Luo An called out the name of one of the ten suspects investigated by Team Leader Irving.


    ? Seeing that Lawrence was just stunned for a moment without any other change, Luo An kept talking, staring at the other person''s face, and called out the names of the other nine suspects in quick succession.


    ??When calling out the name of a senior official named "Hernandez" from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Lawrence''s face moved slightly, and Luo An suddenly smiled:


    ��It turns out the person above you is him!��


    ?Hernandez, a senior official in charge of financial crimes in the Criminal Division of the FBI''s Los Angeles Division. His status and rank are higher than Pearson''s, but he is not in the same office.


    ??However, there is definitely more than one person behind the scenes, and the other person''s power and ability are not that great.


    ?Seeing Luo applauding and smiling, Lawrence''s expression turned completely gloomy. He pointed to the apartment door not far away and said:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, if you are here to cause trouble tonight, the door is over there.


    ?Also, please provide evidence when you speak. If you continue to falsely accuse me, I will appeal to the Ministry of Supervision and accuse you of this matter! "


    ��Don��t be so angry, Captain Lawrence, calm yourself down.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, picked up the wine on the table, poured it into Lawrence''s glass, and said casually:


    ��Of course I have the evidence. Don��t you know? When I first moved into that apartment, I installed a small surveillance camera in the eye of the teddy bear in the corner of the living room...��


    Hearing this, and seeing Luo An''s carefree expression, Lawrence''s pupils shrank, and he glanced at Hunter, who was sitting blankly on the sofa next to him. He no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth, and immediately took out a pistol from behind and took aim. Roan.


    Luo An, who looked leisurely on the surface, but actually had tight muscles, was faster than him. The moment Lawrence stretched his hand behind him, he picked up the freshly poured wine on the table and threw it hard in Lawrence''s face.


    boom!


    ?The next second, a gunshot rang out, but because the drink was thrown on his face, Lawrence''s pistol was forced to miss, and the bullet hit the wall not far away.


    When the wine in the glass was gone, Luo An threw the glass into Lawrence''s face, made a fist with his right hand, and hit Lawrence''s chest hard.


    score


    A muffled sound came from Lawrence''s chest. The terrifying force made Lawrence''s pupils shrink and he fell backwards onto the sofa uncontrollably.


    ??Luo An took advantage of the situation to **** away the opponent''s pistol, took out the handcuffs and cuffed Lawrence''s hands, pressed his knees firmly against the opponent''s thighs, and completely controlled the opponent.


    ��Shit!��


    ??Luo An''s series of actions were so fast that Lawrence, who was still dripping with alcohol, realized that he was being controlled as soon as he realized what he was doing. His face turned red and his eyes widened.


    Hunter Anderson next to him also reacted at this time, quickly stood up, took out his pistol and aimed it at Luo An.


    "Do not move!"


    ��


    The moment Hunter stood up, Luo An also took out a pistol from behind with his other hand. Then while Hunter was aiming at himself, he aimed the gun at Hunter and said in a cold voice without looking back:


    "Hunter Anderson, since you have just been transferred from the Weapons of Mass Destruction Bureau to the SWAT team not long ago, I will give you a chance to put down the gun."


    ��No!��


    Hunter, who was shocked by Luo An''s strong skills, swallowed. He felt that he couldn''t beat the opponent, but he still refused to put down the weapon in his hand, and said seriously:


    ��You let go of my captain first!��


    ? ? "Hehehe..." ? ? ? Lawrence, who was controlled by Luo An, sneered when he saw this. Just as he was about to speak, Luo An slapped him hard in the face.


    Snapped!


    ��Where does all this nonsense come from.��


    ??Luo An firmly pressed Lawrence, turned to look at Hunter, and briefly described to him the murder of Team Leader Owen and the general situation of the foundation''s funding problems, and finally said in a solemn voice:


    ��You saw it just now, it was Lawrence who pulled out the gun first. If he had no problem, would he have done this?��


    After Roan finished narrating, Lawrence Roan barely broke free from his control, and immediately shouted to Hunter:


    ��False accusations! All false accusations!


    Listen Hunter, what Greenwood said are all lies, you must..."


    Before he finished speaking, Lawrence saw the pistol in Hunter''s hand slowly move from Luo An''s body to his forehead.


    Lawrence: ������


    ��I trust Deputy Leader Greenwood.��


    Hunter Anderson''s face gradually turned cold and he said sternly:


    ��Do you remember Clarence, my dear Captain Lawrence?��


    Hearing this name, Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly. He seemed to have seen this name somewhere.


    Lawrence��s expression changed:


    ��What is your relationship with him?��


    Hunter sneered:


    ��He is my aunt��s cousin.��


    ??Luo An recalled an incident at this time. Team leader Owen''s information showed that the problem with the fund was first discovered by a front-line SWAT team member, who was later silenced (Chapter 314)


    The name of the frontline SWAT member who was silenced was Clarence.


    Hunter next to him said that it was precisely because his cousin died of unknown causes and his aunt passed away in grief. In order to avenge the two of them, Hunter chose to leave the more relaxed department of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Bureau and join the SWAT team. Front-line departments that walk on the boundary between life and death every day.


    ? Came to the SWAT team where his cousin was before his death. Hunter had been disguising himself as an ordinary team member, while secretly investigating the cause of his cousin''s death.


    ??After so many days of investigation, Hunter has not yet found the specific cause of his cousin''s death, but found that this matter is definitely related to the captain Lawrence.


    In order to find more clues, Hunter chose this period of time to proactively establish a good relationship with Lawrence, and would bring some wine to Lawrence''s house to have a drink with him every few days.


    ??When Luo An first talked about the two cases, Hunter was still wary. But when he heard that the time of death of the first-line player was exactly the same as that of his cousin, Hunter immediately confirmed the authenticity of what Luo An said.


    After saying these things, Hunter looked at Luo An with red eyes:


    ��Thank you, Deputy Leader Greenwood.��


    "You''re welcome."


    Roan replied casually. He now finally understood what was going on in his previous "emotional perception" of Hunter''s undisguised dislike of Lawrence.


    ��Sonof better than eating.��


    After listening to Hunter''s narration, Lawrence cursed in a low voice, then closed his eyes and said no more words.


    ?Seeing Lawrence''s attitude, Hunter, who had identified the murderer, prepared to question him physically. Seeing this, Luo An reached out to stop him and said:


    ��Let��s search his bedroom and study. There may be clues we need in there.��


    ? ����OK.��


    Hunter took a few deep breaths, swallowed the anger in his heart, turned and walked to the study room upstairs in the apartment.


    But before a few minutes passed, Hunter ran down with a face full of urgency:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood! Someone is coming outside the apartment!��


    ?At this time, two cars were parked on the road outside the front and rear doors of the apartment. A group of guys in suits and holding rifles began to slowly approach the front and rear doors of the apartment.


    Unlike the anxious look on Hunter''s face, Luo An, who was pressing Lawrence, saw the familiar cars through the glass and grinned:


    ��It��s okay, these are the people I��m waiting for.��


    Hunter:? ? ?


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 318： Hunter is ready to change his life, the enemy attacks!

    Chapter 318 Hunter is preparing to change his life, the enemy attacks!


    ??The apartment of Lawrence, the leader of a certain SWAT action team.


    Outside the apartment, two cars were parked on the road between the front and back doors. Four people got out of each car. A total of 16 guys in suits, masks, and rifles slowly approached the apartment.


    Hunter Anderson, who only had a pistol in his hand in the apartment, saw cold sweat on his forehead when he saw so many enemies. He was sure to take one or two enemies by surprise, but he was really powerless to do the rest.


    Hunter, who had just learned part of the cause of his cousin��s death, swallowed. He thought for a moment, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes:


    ??He planned to risk his life to contain the enemy for Luo An, and help Luo An break out of the apartment and escape from here.


    Hunter has now seen that the murder of his cousin is just a minor incident in the foundation''s major case.


    Lawrence and others who attacked their cousin were nothing more than a knife.


    ?Hunter indeed hated the murder knife, but he hated the person holding the knife even more, that is, the mastermind behind the murder order for Lawrence and others.


    ??The mastermind behind this major case definitely has a high status. Hunter believes that as a grassroots team member, there is a high probability that he will not be able to defeat the opponent.


    Rather than letting both himself and Deputy Team Leader Greenwood die here, it is better to fight and use your own life to exchange Deputy Team Leader Greenwood for a chance to break out.


    Hunter has heard about Luo An''s performance in the bank robbery and has always admired Luo An and believed in Luo An''s skill, ability and courage.


    Hunter just heard about Luo An''s description of the case and Luo An''s determination to find the murderer for Team Leader Irving.


    ??So he believed that Luo An would never give up on this case, and would definitely find out the truth and avenge Team Leader Owen, himself, and his cousin.


    Luo An didn��t know Hunter Anderson��s psychological activities. When he saw the enemy outside the apartment, he forcibly opened Captain Lawrence��s eyes and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��Captain Lawrence, do you think these people are here to save you? Or are they here to silence you?��


    ?The answer to this question was obvious. Lawrence gritted his teeth and did not answer, but his face trembled uncontrollably.


    Just as Hunter was about to express his thoughts to Luo An, Luo An grabbed Lawrence in his shocked eyes and hid him in the corner of a room on the second floor of the apartment.


    ��Everyone doesn��t want to die. Only by living can you have a future, right?��


    Ignoring Hunter��s shocked eyes, Luo An grabbed Lawrence and asked:


    ��Tell me the specific reasons why the foundation funds were lost, and I can explain it to the judge in court.��


    ��Hehehe... Do you think you can get out of here alive today?��


    ??Lawrence smiled disdainfully. Hunter saw the enemies getting closer and closer outside the apartment, circling anxiously. Luo An looked at Lawrence''s face in silence for a second, and suddenly grinned:


    ��You are worried that you will die if you reveal the person behind the scenes, so you might as well die today. Anyway, you have already planted the seeds, right?��


    Laurence frowned when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Luo An took out his mobile phone and said in a false voice where Lawrence couldn''t see the screen:


    ��Lessie, if I die tonight, execute plan four!


    Let Lawrence��s ex-wife go bankrupt and throw his son into jail! I want them to have the life to take the money but not the life to spend it! "


    The information Michelle previously found showed that Lawrence had been married before, and his son was six years old and lived with his ex-wife.


    After saying that, Luo An directly put away the phone whose screen was no longer on the dialing interface.


    ��Fu-k����


    Hearing this, Lawrence suddenly stared and cursed, then Luo An picked up a rag and stuffed it into his mouth, grabbed Lawrence''s head and knocked it against the wall, stared into his eyes and said fiercely:


    ��Remember, Lawrence, you have the blood of your colleagues on your hands!


    If I die, your son will not get better either. "


    After saying that, Luo An ignored Lawrence who was struggling wildly with his eyes split open, turned around and left the place and walked to Hunter''s side.


    ����


    Hunter looked at Luo An, who was looking down at the gun with a complicated expression. He heard what Luo An had just threatened Lawrence.


    Rationally, Hunter did not agree with Roan''s behavior of threatening Lawrence with his children.


    But emotionally, my cousin, whom I grew up playing with, died at the hands of Lawrence. I and Deputy Team Leader Greenwood are also facing a group of enemies at this time, and we don��t know what the outcome will be...


    ?Taking a deep breath, Hunter threw aside the many complicated thoughts in his mind, leaving only the first thought, and said to Luo An with a serious face:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, wait for us to attack the enemy at the back door. I will use all my strength to contain the enemy. You can find a way to escape from here..."


    ��Huh?�� Luo An, who was quietly checking the enemy situation outside the apartment after checking his equipment, was slightly startled when he heard this.


    ??Looking back and seeing the decisive look on Hunter Anderson''s face, Luo An understood the subtext of the other person''s words, laughed, and patted the other person on the shoulder:


    ��Relax, none of us are going to die today.


    Don��t forget, we had agreed to go out drinking together before. "


    Hunter didn''t know where Luo An got his confidence. There were only two of them out of sixteen people, so when he heard Luo An''s words, Hunter''s face became even more anxious.


    Luo An didn��t explain either. He just magically took out three shock bombs from his lower back and put them into the hands of Hunter, who was full of astonishment:


    ��Be careful later, if it doesn��t work, just throw one away.��


    ? ����OK.��


    ?Just when Hunter nodded in agreement with a complicated face, the enemies outside the apartment had also reached the door of the apartment. The enemies at the front and back doors held rifles and broke into the apartment at the same time, leaving a few people outside the apartment waiting for an escape route.


    ��Check every room!��


    ��Speed ??speed!��


    ��Go upstairs, go upstairs!��


    ??The enemies in black wearing black masks moved quickly, holding rifles and began to quickly search every room in the apartment.


    ?One of the enemies in black stepped up the stairs of the apartment. Luo An did not hesitate, took out a shock bomb and threw it downstairs.


    The enemy in black at the head shrank his pupils:


    ��Careful! Shock bomb!��


    Boom��


    ?The next second, a deafening explosion and bright light suddenly erupted in this small apartment, and the glass on the first floor of the apartment instantly shattered to the ground.


    Upon seeing this, Luo An immediately said coldly:


    ��Shoot!��


    boom! boom! boom!


    As soon as the words fell, Hunter reacted and immediately raised his pistol and pulled the trigger downstairs.


    The leader of the enemy in black, whose face was bruised by shock, was instantly shot and fell to the ground, but the enemies behind him immediately raised their weapons and opened fire upstairs.


    ?Bang bang bang bang��


    There was a burst of gunfire in the apartment, and Hunter''s pistol was quickly empty of bullets. Upon seeing this, Luo An handed him the pistol he had snatched from Lawrence, and then threw a shock bomb at the stairs. .


    Boom!


    boom! boom!


    The shock bomb exploded again. Hunter, who was also very agile and had very sharp marksmanship, saw this and shot and killed an enemy again.


    But Luo An temporarily left the battlefield at this time and returned to the room where Lawrence was.


    ??Hurrying to Lawrence''s side, Luo An pulled the rag out of his mouth and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��I��ll give you one last chance! Say it or not!��


    "I said!"


    ??Lawrence looked at Luo An with eyes full of anger, but he only had one son, so although Lawrence wanted to bite Luo An to death, he quickly told everything he knew at this level.


    Hunter outside finished the bullets in his pistol again and shouted:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood! They are coming up!��


    ��Come to me quickly!��


    ?At this time, Lawrence finished narrating, Luo An saw this and stuffed the rag back into his mouth again, and pressed the communicator as he walked out:


    ��Mona, call someone! Start taking action!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 319： Enemies with explosive mentality and the coming FBI

    Chapter 319: Enemies with explosive mentality and the coming FBI


    In a small apartment, gunfire broke out.


    ??Several enemies in black at the entrance of the stairs were yelling curses. Although their faces could not be seen clearly with masks on, it was clear that their faces were definitely very ugly.


    They knew that the deputy leader Greenwood in the apartment had the habit of using shock bombs, but they never expected that there were so many shock bombs!


    ?At this time, four enemies in black had fallen at the stairs on the first floor. Except for the one Luo An killed at the beginning, the remaining three were killed by Hunter.


    Hunter''s tactics are also very simple. When he sees the enemy coming up, he throws a shock bomb, and then takes advantage of the moment when the opponent can''t see clearly to shoot him in the head.


    ??If the opponent''s teammates suppress him with firepower, Hunter will throw a shock bomb at the moment the opponent walks up to the second floor, and then shoot him in the head.


    The routine is simple, but very useful.


    ??Had it not been for the pistol bullets and the shock bombs Luo An gave him, Hunter felt that he might have killed all these enemies.


    ??Luo An doesn��t know what Hunter is thinking. If he knew, he would definitely beat him up:


    ?The people on the opposite side are holding rifles and there are many people. They just have the advantage of the spatial layout. If the opponent insists on killing them at all costs, Hunter, who has no advantage, will most likely be sent to heaven.


    "come here!"


    ?Hunter heard Luo An''s words, Hunter immediately left the room and retreated to Luo An''s position, and then heard Luo An''s call of "start action" as he pressed the communicator.


    ?Although the pistol was out of bullets, Hunter''s eyes instantly became extremely bright when he heard Luo An''s words:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, do we have support?��


    ��Indeed there is.��


    ??Luo An nodded, causing Hunter''s lips to instantly raise. Then Luo An continued to add:


    ��But it will take a while.��


    Hunter smiled slightly:


    "how long it takes?"


    "I don''t know either."


    ����


    ?Seeing Hunter''s frozen smile on his face, Luo An grinned:


    ��Just kidding, support will be here soon.��


    ??Patted Hunter on the shoulder, Luoan opened the safety of the Glock 18, glanced at the enemy in black who was about to walk up to the second floor, and said without looking back:


    ��Be sure to keep an eye on Lawrence, he will be of great use to this case!��


    ��No problem, but...��


    Hunter Yangyang had a gun with no bullets in his hand and wanted to ask Luo An what he was going to do.


    ??But before he could say anything, Hunter saw Luo An leaving the room and rushing out like a ghost.


    ��Sh-t!��


    Hunter''s eyes widened when he saw this scene. Just as he was about to go out to check, there was a burst of fierce gunfire outside the apartment.


    ??Remembering the four black-clad enemies outside who were responsible for blocking their retreat, Hunter quickly stepped over Lawrence on the ground, moved to the window to check quietly, and then saw a group of FBI agents with guns attacking the black-clad enemies.


    The enemies in black also heard the gunshots outside the apartment. An enemy standing behind saw the FBI outside, his pupils suddenly shook, and he hurriedly turned around and asked:


    ��Someone is coming from outside! What should we do?��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ??Seeing the identities of the FBI group outside, the face of the leader of the enemy in black suddenly changed, his mind turned quickly, he gritted his teeth, waved his hand and said immediately:


    ��Kill them upstairs! Take people as hostages!��


    ��OK!��


    ??A total of 4 people outside the apartment were responsible for blocking the escape route from the front and back doors. Luo An and Hunter had just killed 4 more people at the stairs. At this time, there were only 8 men in black left in the apartment.


    ?Hearing what the captain said, the remaining seven enemies in black immediately raised their rifles and prepared to rush to the second floor of the apartment in one go.


    ?For them, who are extremely familiar with the FBI''s operational procedures, the only way out is to take hostages.


    But the next second, three objects suddenly rolled in front of everyone.


    Everyone who saw the appearance of the item suddenly yelled:


    ��Fu-k!��


    Boom��


    Boom��


    Boom��


    The shock bomb exploded again, and a white light that was more dazzling than before shone in their eyes again.


    The moment he left the room, Luo An opened the system page, took out a bottle of swiftness potion and poured it into his stomach where no one could see it. Then he threw a shock bomb towards the stairs and carried the Glock 18 by himself. Just flashed past. Before leaving the special investigation team, Luo An had already expected that enemies who would kill him would appear.


    The reason is that the mastermind behind the scenes used overseas accounts to frame him as his first move, but Luo An had already blocked it.


    ?The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it will be to the mastermind behind the scenes, so the other party will definitely send someone to intercept Luo An tonight.


    ?For this reason, Luo An not only made a corresponding plan, but also took a full 10 shock bombs from the equipment warehouse.


    I used 1 pill before and gave 3 pills to Hunter. Luo An still had 6 pills left in his hand.


    ?The next second after throwing three shock bombs at once, Luo An stepped on the wall of the stairs and jumped downstairs very quickly, and then pulled the trigger on the heads of the three enemies in black closest to him.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Three gunshots were fired, and three watermelons burst open and their juices spread all over the floor.


    ��He��s on the left!��


    ��Shoot!��


    The moment his teammates fell, the remaining enemies in black who had not yet recovered from the white light immediately opened fire wildly in the direction from which the gunfire came.


    ?Bang bang bang bang��


    With the sound of gunfire, a large number of thumb-sized craters suddenly appeared on the wall, but there was no trace of Luo An as expected.


    ��Ceasefire!��


    Upon seeing this, the enemy in black led by the leader quickly ordered everyone to stop shooting. After all, they did not have many bullets left and they must not waste them.


    ??After briefly checking the situation near the stairway, the enemy in black immediately pointed to the kitchen next to him:


    "That��"


    Before he finished speaking, two more objects flew out of the living room.


    Boom��


    Boom��


    ��*#%������


    The moment the two shock bombs exploded, the five remaining enemies in black were furious. They all subconsciously pressed the triggers towards the location where the shock bombs flew out.


    ?How many years have passed and how many years they have been working? This is the first time they have encountered this kind of thing, and their minds are about to explode!


    ?One of the detectives in black with gray eyes yelled:


    ��Don��t use shock bombs if you can! You coward!��


    ??Luo An ignored the other party, just raised the Glock 18, expressionlessly pulled the trigger on the head of this guy and an enemy next to him.


    boom! boom!


    Two gunshots were fired, two more watermelons were shattered, and the enemy''s team in black was reduced by two more.


    ����


    At this moment, the rifle magazine of the leader of the men in black had been emptied, and he was about to reload. Luo An, who noticed this, stepped on the ground hard, moved behind him like lightning, and asked with a smile:


    ��Do you need me to lend you some bullets?��


    !!��


    The sudden sound in his ears made the hairs on the head of the black-clad enemy immediately stand up, and his head broke into a cold sweat. He subconsciously grabbed the dagger at his waist and prepared to attack the opponent, but suddenly he felt a heavy blow on his lower back.


    Bang!


    ??Luo An raised his fist and punched the black-clothed enemy''s lower back hard. The terrifying force made the black-clothed enemy''s eyes bulge, and an indescribable pain instantly spread throughout his body.


    ??The enemy in black, who was hit hard by a heavy punch, fell forward uncontrollably, but was grabbed by Luo An and blocked in front of him.


    Because the remaining two enemies in black have found Luo An, raised their rifles and aimed at this place, shouting:


    ��Put him down!��


    Luo An, who was hiding behind the enemy in black, did not panic at all and asked:


    ��Are you sure?��


    "I��"


    boom! boom!


    Before the remaining two enemies in black could finish their words, two gunshots rang out from behind them. A bleeding hole appeared behind the watermelon. Their pupils dilated and they fell to the ground.


    The people who fired the shots were the FBI agents who arrived.


    ?Seeing these FBI, Luo An knocked out the leader of the black-clad enemy who was still alive, and grinned:


    ��You came very quickly.��


    ??The two FBI agents who fired the shots moved out of the way. The officer behind them came over, looked at Luo An and said expressionlessly:


    ��Deputy Team Leader Greenwood encountered an attack, how could we not rush over quickly?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 320： Luo Ans tricks and conspiracy

    Chapter 320 Luo An��s tricks and conspiracy


    Captain Lawrence''s apartment, first floor.


    ??Luo An bent down, found his cell phone in the pocket of the black-clad enemy, and sent a casual message to Mona. Then he stood up and looked at the familiar face in front of him, smiling:


    "What do you think now? Do you still think I am the murderer of Pearson? Captain Horst?"


    The group of FBI outside the apartment were the same agents from the Supervision Department who had searched Luo An''s house before. The leader was naturally their chief Horst.


    ??The Ministry of Supervision searched the apartment with a search warrant. Luo An used "emotional perception" to find that Yurik was the person in question, and he came up with the idea of ??using Horst and the people in the Ministry of Supervision.


    ??The reason is simple. Luo An is now unable to determine which of the top officials of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch and other agents outside their special investigation team is problematic and which is not.


    Instead of looking for some support who need to be on guard at all times to see if they will backstab you when you move later, it is better to go directly to the guys like Horst from the Supervision Department.


    The first is that Luo An has determined that most of them only have a general dislike for him, without that kind of coldness and malice. The only one who has other thoughts about him was imprisoned by Luo An in the interrogation room of the special investigation team. .


    So the former enemy has become the best protection in this situation. For the sake of its own case and face, the Supervision Department will not let Luo An, the "suspect", die in the hands of others.


    The second thing is related to the mastermind behind the scenes. Since the mastermind behind the scenes just wants to use the Supervision Department and treat them as tool men, it shows that the mastermind behind the scenes is not as capable as those in the Supervision Department.


    Otherwise, even if Luo An takes away the overseas account, the mastermind behind the scenes will be able to fabricate some other charges against Luo An.


    After thinking about this, Luo An immediately decided to use his plan:


    ??The mastermind behind the scenes uses the Ministry of Supervision as a tool to plot against himself, so of course he can also use the Ministry of Supervision as a tool to plot against the mastermind behind the scenes.


    Roan left Mona and Michelle in the special investigation team because they needed them to contact Horst and the others as quickly as possible when Roan needed them.


    ??When he left the FBI building in Los Angeles and noticed a vehicle being followed behind him, Luo An pressed the communicator to contact Mona and asked her to contact the Supervision Department.


    ?While chatting with Lawrence in the apartment, the Supervision Department was on the way.


    A group of black-clad enemies attacked the apartment. When Luo An successfully asked Lawrence what he knew, Mona said that the Supervision Department would be arriving soon.


    During this period, Mona followed Luo An''s arrangement and used computer technology to transfer the negotiations between Luo An and Lawrence to the Supervision Department. Lawrence later revealed all the clues, and the Supervision Department heard them clearly. .


    ?In this case, Horst and the people from the Supervision Department naturally knew the true circumstances of Luo An��s frame-up, and also learned about the criminal behavior of a senior executive who took advantage of his position to steal money from the foundation.


    ? Luo An thought very clearly that confronting the FBI''s top brass, even if he had evidence, would be a very time-consuming task in the subsequent production of evidence, trial, etc.


    ??The people of the Special Investigation Team can be counted on one hand, and they must not spend all their time on this case.


    What''s more, Luo An can''t guarantee whether the FBI''s high-level allies will take action against several other people in the special investigation team after today.


    In this case, it is naturally the best choice to leave the follow-up work of this case to the Supervision Department:


    ? Their Supervision Department is responsible for cases involving crimes committed by FBI internal management personnel, and they have many people and rich experience in handling such cases. They have the time and ability to fight with those FBI senior officials.


    Of course, the benefits of the special investigation team cannot be less. After all, the key clues were found by Luo An and the others, and the special investigation team would have to share at least half of the harvest afterwards.


    ??Luo An��s plan was a conspiracy. Horst from the Supervision Department quickly figured this out when he received Mona��s call for support.


    ??But Horst couldn''t refuse, because there was a handle on Yurik, the mole, and he was still in Roan''s hands.


    ??Moreover, Mona also followed Luo An��s previous instructions and said that Yurik��s interrogation records have been compiled and are placed in the computer mailbox of the Special Investigation Team, ready to be sent to Washington at any time...


    ??Waving his hand, he signaled the detectives behind him to dispose of the bodies at the scene and go upstairs to arrest Lawrence. Horst gritted his back molars and stared at Roan:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, what a good idea.��


    "Where, fortunately, I want to thank you for saving me." Luo An laughed and stretched out his right hand towards Horster.


    ?Horst glanced at Luo An for a few times, then stretched out his right hand to shake his hand.


    As for Roan��s words of thanks, Horst didn��t believe them at all.


    There were sixteen enemies in total, and Luo An killed half of them by himself, and the whole process was done with ease.


    ?Horst felt that even if their supervisory department didn''t come, Luo An would probably be able to kill all the remaining enemies.


    Not only Horst felt this way, but the agents from the Supervision Department behind him also gasped and stared at Luo An in stunned silence when they saw the body on the first floor of the apartment.


    ??They had heard about bank robberies before and knew that Luo An could fight, but they never expected that Luo An could be so good at fighting!


    Looking at Luo An in front of me... he not only has extraordinary intelligence, but also knows how to use political methods, and he is also so skilled. No wonder he became the deputy leader of the special investigation team at a young age.


    Coupled with the big legs behind him, as long as nothing unexpected happens in the future, there will definitely be a place for Luo An in Washington.


    ?Horst thought about these things and wanted to continue climbing up. A glint flashed in Horst''s eyes, and he silently made up his mind to have a good relationship with Luo An in the future.


    ?However, the change of attitude was too fast, which could easily arouse Luo An''s vigilance, so after the two shook hands, Horst still had a cold face and said without saltiness:


    ��Now that Deputy Team Leader Greenwood is safe, we can leave the rest of the matter to our Supervision Department and we will take care of it.��


    Luo An grinned when he heard this:


    ��Hey, this is a bit much.��


    ��I think it��s Deputy Team Leader Greenwood who is going too far.��


    ?Stepping back to avoid the hand holding his shoulder, Horst glanced at Luo An:


    ��Does Deputy Team Leader Greenwood plan to handle the follow-up of this case himself?��


    ?Horst has already guessed Luo An��s conspiracy, so his attitude is very clear:


    ??Their Supervision Department did make some small mistakes in this case. They may do some dirty, tiring and time-consuming work in the future, but the benefits must not be lacking!


    Roan pretended not to notice Horst��s unhappy look and replied with a smile:


    ��This is a big case, and it is enough for our two teams to work together. Of course, we need to solve the subsequent work together.


    ?However, do you think this case is over here? "


    "of course not!"


    Horst glanced at Luo An. Lawrence only told what he knew just now. He didn''t know about higher-level things, so there must be follow-up to this case.


    ?However, Horst said that he was not in a hurry. Their Supervision Department had rich experience in this kind of cases and was confident of digging into the case to the end.


    Hearing this, Luo An spread his hands and kept smiling:


    ��But if you do this, it will take you a long time, right?��


    ?This is for sure. The work responsibilities of the Supervision Department determine that their investigations must be limited and cannot be too fast.


    So Horst looked at Luo An and asked:


    "What do you want?"


    ?Luo An didn��t waste any time and whispered directly:


    ��I will gain thirty-seven points afterwards! I want seven!��


    "impossible!"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 321： Bargaining and the real story behind the case

    Chapter 321 Bargaining and the real situation behind the case


    ?Hearing Luo An��s words, Horst shook his head and refused without thinking.


    They co-authored the Supervision Department to be responsible for the most complex, time-consuming and offending work. As a result, they could only get 30% of the profits from this case?


    ?Horst stretched out his hand and stared at Roan:


    ��Thirty-seven points is fine, I want seven!��


    "no!"


    ?Luo An also shook his head and refused:


    ��Don��t forget, that Yurik from your Supervision Department is still in my interrogation room.��


    ?The problem of having a mole among your subordinates is not a big deal for people at the management level. It all depends on whether others are involved in this aspect.


    ?Horst immediately stared at Luo An with wide eyes, and Luo An stared back not to be outdone.


    The two were in a stalemate for a moment, and Horst pursed his lips:


    ��Four or six points, I want six!��


    ��I want six!��


    Luo An��s eyes flashed and he whispered:


    ��If this case drags on for too long, those people may have the opportunity to leave the federation!


    ??Leader Horst, you don��t want to see your detectives working so hard to identify the suspect, only to have him escape early because of a mistake on your part, right? "


    ����


    ?Horst��s face twitched when he heard this. Why did he always feel that there was something wrong with Luo An��s words?


    ?Taking a deep breath, Horst asked in a low voice:


    ��Do you have any clues?��


    "certainly!"


    ?Luo An nodded, took out his mobile phone and looked at:


    ��The other party is now ready to leave the Federation.��


    ������five-fifty!��


    After pondering for a while, Horst gritted his teeth and spoke out his final distribution plan. He didn''t have to take it, but he must not lose the share of his agents.


    Roan looked at Horst silent for a few seconds and nodded slowly:


    ��OK, then it��s five to five.��


    Horst finally breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to speak, Luo An suddenly pulled him back and asked in a low voice:


    ��Last question, who is Five?��


    ???��


    ����


    ??Having a little joke with Horst, Luo An briefly chatted with the other party, handed the scene to the group of agents from the Supervision Department, and then walked towards the car not far away under the admiring eyes of the agents.


    "Wait a moment!"


    ?At this moment, Hunter Anderson suddenly ran over and said to Luo An with a serious face:


    ��Thank you, Deputy Leader Greenwood.��


    "Um."


    Roan knew what he was talking about, so he responded casually and was about to drive away, when he heard Hunter continue:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, I would like to apply to join your special investigation team.��


    "Um?"


    ? Luo An, who was sitting in the driver''s seat of the SUV, was slightly startled and turned to look at Hunter.


    ?Hunter��s physical fitness, marksmanship, and fighting skills will definitely not be bad if he can join the SWAT team.


    ??Furthermore, Hunter had been working in the Bureau of Weapons of Mass Destruction before, and he chose to join SWAT in order to avenge his cousin. This shows that Hunter has a high level of knowledge, is emotional, has tenacity, and can control his emotions at critical moments.


    ?From these aspects alone, Hunter is qualified to join the special investigation team.


    ?However, those who have submitted self-recommendation letters to the Special Investigation Team are all extraordinary and have their own unique skills. Compared with Hunter, there is really nothing outstanding about them.


    After thinking for a while, Luo An said:


    ��The special investigation team may hold a test in the next few days. If you are interested, you can sign up.��


    After saying that, Luo An didn��t wait for the other party to answer, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the SUV rushed forward.


    ?Looking at the back of the car as it drove away, and then seeing Lawrence being stuffed into the car, Hunter Anderson pursed his lips, silently made up his mind, and finally turned around and left.


    On the other side, Luo An drove an SUV through an intersection, held his cell phone and asked with a smile:


    ��How is it, Mona, did you find the clue?��


    ? ? "Of course!" ? ? Mona in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team patted Michelle''s arm and replied with a smile:


    ��It��s Michelle��s credit, she found some clues about the other party in the database of the FBI headquarters in Washington.��


    ��Well done!��


    ?Luo An briefly chatted for a few words, and then called Lacey:


    ��Your temporary vacation is over, Lacey, come out and join me.��


    ?Getting Lacey''s response, Luo An hung up the phone and drove towards the target location while silently reviewing all the clues he had obtained in this case.


    ??The clues Lawrence gave previously mentioned a senior executive of the SWAT team and a senior executive of the Department of Criminal Justice.


    They were the two men who gave the order to kill Captain Owen and Pearson.


    These two people alone were unable to steal 9 million U.S. dollars from the foundation, so Horst just took off the masks on the faces of the black-clothed enemies and asked the Supervision Department to check their identities, and then discovered that these people were all nationals. Security Service agent.


    Previously, Luo An picked up the cell phone of the enemy in black and sent a message to Mona. Mona successfully found the last person contacted by the cell phone and found that the other person was a senior official of the Department of Homeland Security.


    ??On the surface, this senior official''s financial accounts are very clear, but privately, he has many overseas accounts, and the dates of deposits in several of these accounts are similar to the days when the foundation lost funds.


    Not long after, Lacey, who had been hiding for a long time, got into the SUV and brought Luo An a thickened burger.


    ?After listening to Luo An��s narration, Lacey nodded and muttered while eating:


    ��So, the real man behind this is this senior official from the Department of Homeland Security. He is the one who stole the money from the foundation, right?��


    ��No.��


    ? Luo An continued to drive forward quickly in the SUV and shook his head:


    ��Actually, this senior official of Homeland Security was only responsible for covering up the news.��


    ?)


    Lacie was full of doubts:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    "literal meaning."


    ??Luo An handed his mobile phone to Lacey and explained:


    ��Why did Team Leader Owen write in the previous clue that someone ��stole�� $9 million from the foundation? Because the operation of the man behind the scenes was really stealing!��


    ?According to the provisions of the FBI Agents and SWAT Team Member Injury and Disability Retirement Security Fund, injured frontline team members have the right to request help from this fund.


    ?In order to take money from the fund in a reasonable and unobtrusive way, the senior SWAT official would falsely report the number of injured personnel to the foundation, fabricate many injured players that exceeded the true situation, and withdraw excess funds from it.


    ?In order to prevent anyone from discovering this matter, senior officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice used their own methods to monitor the matter at all times and sent people to silence them if something was wrong.


    According to the principle of separation of powers with federal characteristics, the internal structure of this foundation is also the same. Part of the responsibilities of the senior official of the Department of Homeland Security happens to be the accountant of the foundation.


    The accountants inside the foundation knew exactly how much money the foundation had and how the money was spent. However, they happened to be under the jurisdiction of senior officials of the Department of Homeland Security, so the news of fund problems was tightly locked up by the other party.


    "But��"


    Hearing this, Lacey raised her own questions:


    "However, according to the rules of that foundation, if you want to take money out of the fund, you need to review it by the other party. It is impossible for them to do this..."


    As he spoke, Lacey finally reacted when she saw Luo An��s slightly raised corners of her mouth, her eyes widened and she exclaimed:


    ��You mean that the person behind the scenes who is really in control of this is actually the person who is responsible for reviewing whether funds are released?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An grinned and said:


    "In the federal society, if a person''s car is not damaged, but he wants to tell the insurance company that his car was damaged and wants to apply for compensation, then he must pay the applied money to the insurance company that comes to review it. part of the company''s staff.


    Conversely, if the employee of this insurance company wants to make money, what will he do? "


    ��sonof is better than eating!��


    Lacey immediately understood the subtext of Luo An''s words. She cursed secretly under her breath. After a few seconds of silence, she pointed at the three suspects in Luo An''s cell phone who were responsible for reviewing this aspect and gritted her teeth and asked:


    ��Who specifically is it?��


    Luo An did not answer, but glanced at the rearview mirror:


    ��There��s no rush, let��s get rid of the tail first.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 322： Private airport, Luo An: No, no, no

    Chapter 322 Private Airport, Luo An: No way, right?


    ??The black SUV was driving forward quickly. When Lacey heard Luo An''s words, she quickly turned around and looked back.


    ��Don��t panic.��


    ?Seeing Lacey��s nervous expression, Luo An explained:


    ��One-half of one��s own people.��


    ?)


    ??Lacie looked confused, Luo An pointed to a Buick car not far behind them, and smiled:


    ��People from the Supervision Department.��


    Just now, Luo An and Horst had a friendly exchange on the issue of the distribution of the profits after the case, and finally decided to split it 50-50.


    ??However, one of the reasons why Horst agreed to this distribution agreement was that Luo An still held a clue about the lowest-level mastermind.


    ??If the other party can be arrested before Luo An, Horst can reject the 50/50 split and renegotiate with Luo An.


    So as soon as Luo An left the scene, Horst sent someone to drive up and hoist him up.


    ? Luo An, who has long been aware of the follower, is not dissatisfied with Horst''s approach. If he simply puts himself in his shoes, Luo An would do the same.


    It''s just a matter of face, not as important as the actual benefits.


    ��OK.��


    After understanding the identity of the other party, Lacey sat back in the co-pilot and breathed a sigh of relief and asked:


    ��Are you going to do this?


    The target location is a bit far away from here, so it is unrealistic without driving. This area is also a bit congested, so it may not be easy to get rid of the other party. "


    ��It��s okay, I��ve been prepared.��


    ? Luo An gave Lacey a reassuring look, then turned the steering wheel and drove the SUV to another road.


    The Buick behind saw this and quickly followed.


    But just after turning the intersection, the two detectives in the Buick saw an SUV parked on the side of the road.


    After getting out of the car and searching carefully for a while, the two Supervision Department agents looked at each other with ugly expressions, took out their mobile phones and called Horst:


    ��Sorry, sir, we failed...��


    On the other side, Lacey, who had changed into a set of clothes as Luo An requested, looked at the No. 2 SUV of the Special Investigation Team in front of her and said with surprise:


    ��Luo An, when did you prepare this car?��


    ��Thrown here before.��


    ?This SUV was the same car that Luo An left home with the steak and deliberately threw it near the shopping mall.


    ? After getting off the No. 1 SUV with Lacey, Luo An quickly took her through several streets, entered the shopping mall through a side door, and finally walked to the No. 2 SUV in the parking lot.


    Luo An is not worried about whether the two Supervisory Department agents who are following him will discover this.


    ??After the two agents who failed to track the SUV in the parking lot, Horst most likely will not continue to hand over the tracking task to them.


    ??The detectives responsible for following the car for the second time most likely didn��t know about the SUV in front of them. By the time Horst told them about it, Luo An had already driven away from the mall during this time.


    ��Cool.��


    Sitting in the passenger seat, Lacey looked at Luo An with a smile after listening to his narration. When the car continued to move forward, she asked again:


    ��Luo An, you haven��t answered my previous question.


    ?Those three senior officials responsible for reviewing the foundation��s external grants, which one is the real mastermind behind the scenes? "


    ��Naturally, he is the one who is most closely related to money, and he is relatively short of money.��


    ??Luo An handed the phone to Lacey. Inside it was a senior official who Mona had found. She had many contacts with senior officials of SWAT, Homeland Security, and the Department of Criminal Justice.


    ����


    ??At a private airport in northern Los Angeles, a thin, white-haired white man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties was sitting in the waiting area, looking out the window expressionlessly. On the surface, he seemed to be unhurried, but the **** that kept rubbing together showed that his mood was not peaceful.


    Beside the gray-haired white man, there were four sturdy men in suits standing.


    Raising his hand and looking at his watch, the gray-haired white man turned back and asked in a hoarse voice:


    ��How long will it take for the pilot to arrive?��


    ����


    ??The man in a suit standing next to the white-haired man was just about to answer when a male laughter suddenly came from the door not far from the waiting area:


    "It would have taken another minute, but my agents called the pilots three minutes ago and told them to go home and rest."


    ??Seeing a man and a woman walking towards him not far away, the white-haired man narrowed his eyes and stood up:


    ��Deputy Leader of the Special Investigation Team, Roan Greenwood.��


    ��I didn��t expect my name to be spread so widely. I��m really surprised.��


    The visitors were none other than Luo An and Lacey. They walked up to four sturdy men in suits. Luo An chuckled:


    ��Good evening, Chief Alexander Harris, Deputy Director of the Information Management Division, FBI Los Angeles Field Office.��


    ??This deputy director of the Information Management Department is one of the main persons responsible for supervising the foundation''s fund allocation review.


    Through his means of squeezing out and exchanging interests, the other two senior officials responsible for the review work have only the name of supervision but no actual supervision.


    Patting the sturdy man in a suit and asking them to move aside, Alexander walked up to Luo An, with a slight smile at the corners of his eyes:


    ��I wonder what Deputy Team Leader Greenwood wants to see me for today?��


    ��A small thing, very simple.��


    ?Luo An said the catchphrase casually and said with a smile:


    ��It��s just that you took advantage of your position to steal money from FBI agents and SWAT members�� Injury and Disability Retirement Security Fund. This happened, so I��m here to ask you to return to the headquarters to cooperate with the investigation.��


    Alexander��s expression remained unchanged:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, you will be held legally responsible for spreading rumors and making false accusations.��


    ��We already have the evidence.��


    ��Evidence can also be forged.��


    ��You can confront the people in the Supervision Department about this later.��


    ??Luo An decisively chose to pass the blame and was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with the other party. He crossed his hands, crunched his fists, and asked with a smile:


    ��I wonder which process Chief Alexander plans to follow?


    Shall I beat your four men with my fists first, and then you go with me? Or do you skip this step and go directly with me? "


    Alexander, who was almost sixty years old, his eyelids twitched when he saw this, and he slowly backed away.


    When the four men in suits saw this, they opened their mouths with ferocious expressions and walked up with their hands crossed and clenching fists.


    There were only two people on Luo An��s side, he and Lacey, but there were four people on the opposite side. Alexander felt that the situation was stable, so he laughed:


    ��I��ve long heard that Deputy Team Leader Greenwood��s skills are extraordinary. This time����


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    Before Alexander could finish his words, Luo An pulled out a pistol from behind at lightning speed, aimed at the thighs of four muscular white men and pulled the trigger.


    The next second after the four men fell to the ground wailing, Lacey took out a handcuff from behind and immediately stepped forward to cuff Alexander''s hands.


    ����


    ??The smile on Alexander''s face froze. Everything happened so fast that he didn''t even react.


    ��What era is this, when we don��t use pistols but fists?��


    ?? Luo An selectively ignored the words of the four people on the ground who scolded him for not practicing martial ethics and carrying out a sneak attack, and just used his fists to deceive them. Instead, he walked up to Alexander and said with a smile:


    "You don''t really think that I will compete with the four of them with my fists, and then I will be knocked to the ground by one move, and finally let you escape from here smoothly, right? No?"


    When Alexander heard this, his face turned red and white, and his hair almost exploded with anger.


    ??Waving to Lacey who was covering her mouth and snickering, she motioned for her to take Alexander away quickly. Then Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Mona:


    ��What��s going on with the Supervision Department?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 323： The end of the case, spitting at each other

    Chapter 323 The end of the case, spitting at each other


    ��The Supervision Department has finished dealing with the Lawrence family.��


    Special Investigation Team, in the office area, Mona sat in front of the computer and yawned:


    ��Two agents from the Supervision Department came just now and wanted to take Yurik away from the interrogation room, but Michelle stopped them with a gun.��


    ��Well done.��


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:


    "Tell Michelle later that after this case is handled, our special investigation team will have a three-day holiday, and she can go and read freely."


    ��You gave us a day off last time.��


    ??Mona sat in a chair and spun around, saying speechlessly:


    ��As a result, the case of Team Leader Owen came out, and I didn��t get through the holiday that day.��


    "Forehead��"


    Luo An opened his mouth and didn''t know what to say. Last time he had a day off, the case of Team Leader Irving came out, so this time he would have three days off...


    ?Shaking his head vigorously and quickly throwing away the thoughts that came to his mind, Luo An briefly chatted with Mona for a few words and immediately hung up the phone.


    ??Continue to call the ambulance and ask them to come here to deal with the wounded who were accidentally shot. When the ambulance arrived and took away the four muscular men who kept thanking him, Luo An took the car back to the special investigation team.


    It was already midnight at this time. Because they had Yurik and Alexander in their hands, Luo An, Mona, Lacey, and Michelle temporarily rested for a night in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, and waited until the next day. Meet with Horst and others from the Supervision Department.


    Looking at the familiar face of Alexander Harris and the copy of some of the key clues that Mona gave him, Horst looked at Roan with a solemn expression:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, you can always bring me some surprises.��


    Luo An smiled slightly:


    ��It��s okay, you��re welcome.��


    ����


    Hearing this, Horst gained some understanding of Luo An''s thick skin, and then turned around and left the special investigation team with his detectives.


    ?Horst didn��t say much, but deep down he was still very happy that Roan had successfully captured Alexander.


    ??If Alexander really succeeded in leaving the federation last night, even if their Supervision Department completed the investigation of the case, the real mastermind behind it would not be caught in time, resulting in a less satisfactory outcome afterwards.


    From this perspective, whist should be grateful to Roan.


    ??But Horst would not say thank you to Luo An, because when he thought about the gains after handling the case, which would be 50-50 with Luo An and the others, Horst felt his heart bleed.


    ��How rude.��


    ?Seeing Horst leave here without saying anything, Roan curled his lips and turned to look at Michelle:


    ��Michelle, Lacey, you go to the Supervision Department and watch them handle this case.


    If they need help in handling the case, please contact us in time. If you find them doing something small, remember to contact us in time. "


    After all, Michelle came from the Inspection Department of the FBI''s Washington headquarters. She is familiar with the work process of the Inspection Department and can detect in time whether the Inspection Department is engaging in small tricks.


    Lacey came from the Intelligence Department. Although she didn''t know much about the work process of the Supervision Department, she knew women. Luo An believed that Lacey could definitely rely on this skill to get what she wanted through the female agents in the Supervision Department. Information.


    ��OK!��


    "no problem!"


    ?Michelle smiled and nodded, Lacey grinned, and they all turned around and left the special investigation team.


    "ah-"


    Luo An sat back on the chair, stretched his waist vigorously, and said with emotion: "This case is considered finished, I''m so tired!"


    ��Is it done? Are you sure?��


    ?Mona next to her finished the breakfast in her mouth in three or two mouthfuls. After taking a sip of coffee and swallowing the food, she asked:


    "Most of the information and clues we have about the senior SWAT official, the Department of Criminal Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Information Management, etc. are only indirect clues and there is not much direct evidence. We can really successfully bring him down. Them?"


    ��That depends on what your definition of the word ��we�� is.��


    ??Luo An reached out and grabbed another package of breakfast on Mona''s table, and said while eating:


    ��If it were just our special investigation team, there would be absolutely no way for a few of us to bring down these people.


    But with the existence of the Supervision Department, this possibility of success increases to 80%. "


    �� In the early days of the FBI, the Supervisory Department was always an unpopular department. The reason is very simple. Their job was to investigate their daily colleagues.


    It was not until the death of Edgar Hoover, the first FBI director who wished to remain anonymous, that the federal president and other senior officials sought to weaken the FBI''s influence. The powers and work content of the FBI''s Inspection Department began to develop rapidly, until it now has corresponding powers.


    ��If it is the senior officials in charge of our special investigation team, then we cannot rule out the possibility that the four of us were assassinated by black hands after get off work.��


    ??In Mona''s angry eyes, Luo An finished his breakfast quickly and explained with a smile:


    ��If the Ministry of Supervision is the main one, with a group of senior officials at the top, then most of the attention of those senior officials will be attracted by the Ministry of Supervision, and the possibility of the four members of our special investigation team being assassinated will be greatly reduced.


    ??If during this period, any agent of the Supervision Department is assassinated because of this case, then what follows will be more interesting. "


    ??After the death of Edgar Hoover, the federal president gave the FBI a lot of considerable powers in order to support the FBI''s inspection department.


    Although with the passage of time, many of those powers have been taken back, some of them still exist.


    ??Once an agent of the Supervision Department is killed, the mastermind behind it will definitely face a crazy counterattack by some senior FBI officials and agents.


    ��OK, I understand what you mean.��


    After understanding the idea of ????"You handle the difficult things and I share half of the benefits" in Luo An''s words, Mona stopped worrying about this aspect and turned around to start...


    Call a pizza shop not far from the FBI''s Los Angeles branch and ask them to come here to deliver the food.


    Team Captain Owen, the overall framework of this case has been worked out, but there are still many details that need to be dealt with. Roan is not very good at these things, so it can only be handled by Mona, Lacey and Michelle.


    In the next week, the Special Department and the Supervision Department were dealing with this major case.


    During this period, there were many lawyers and others from those senior officials who accused them of insufficient evidence, but they were all blocked by the experienced Supervision Department, who easily came up with more direct clues.


    ?One day a week later, Luo An, who was standing outside the door and watching the show with a tea cup, was very emotional as he watched the detectives from the Supervision Department spitting with each other with the evidence they had just found and the lawyers of high-ranking officials.


    ��Sure enough, the Supervision Department has rich experience in dealing with this group of people.��


    Horst, who was so busy these days that he couldn''t sleep for more than a few hours a day, saw Luo An''s appearance, with black lines all over his forehead:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, don��t disturb my subordinates�� work, okay?��


    "no problem."


    At this time, Luo An respected Horst and others who were responsible for the hardest part of the work. He smiled and distributed the food he brought to the agents. Luo An briefly discussed with them and finally focused on Huo An. On Ste.


    ??Luo An asked Horst in a low voice how long it would take for the case to be concluded, and how long it would take for the reward to be paid afterwards.


    ��Hehehe����


    Hearing this question, Horst glanced at Luo An, then raised the folder in his hand:


    ��This case won��t be completed in a few months. Let��s wait for rewards or something.��


    Roan��s eyes widened when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Michelle suddenly came up and said:


    ��Luo An, the team leader Potente Byrne has something to ask you.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 324： Special case handling funds

    Chapter 324 Special Case Handling Funds


    FBI Los Angeles Division, Office of the Team Leader.


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    "sit down."


    Roan sat on the chair, looked at Potente-Bourne and asked with a smile:


    ��Sir, what��s the mission for calling me here?��


    ��I don��t have a mission, I just have something I want to talk to you about.��


    ? Potente-Bourne leaned back tactically, crossed his legs, crossed his hands and said:


    ��Chief Owen, your special investigation team did a very good job in this case. The director praised you a lot.��


    ��We would also like to thank our commander for helping us.��


    Roan chuckled, and a smile appeared on Potente-Born''s face after saying a few words.


    After a few brief words, Potente-Byrne finally got down to business and handed a folder on the table to Roan.


    Roan took the folder and opened it to check the contents. Potente-Byrne slowly explained:


    ��Luo An, the director is very satisfied with the fact that your special investigation team did not cause too many casualties or cause too much impact during the handling of the case.��


    The contents of the folder were notices of bonuses issued by four members of their special investigation team, among whom Luo An continued to double his bonus.


    ?In addition, there was a second piece of paper. Luo An opened it and saw that their special investigation team had received a "special case handling fund" of US$400,000.


    ?Luo An��s eyes moved slightly, he closed the folder and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you, director, thank you, sir. This is what we should do.��


    The content of the document did not specify the specific use of this special fund. Coupled with Potente-Bourne''s words, Luo An understood the true meaning of the money after a moment''s thought: hush money.


    From the beginning, in order to protect himself and Mona, Luo An never made this case particularly big. Except for the Special Investigation and Supervision Department, there were not many other people who knew about it.


    ?Only some senior officials of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch knew about it. Most of the lower-level agents only knew about the murder of Team Leader Irving and did not know any subsequent details.


    Other law enforcement departments outside the FBI, such as the LAPD, NSA Los Angeles Division, etc., as well as the various media in Los Angeles who follow the wind and rain, do not know the specific details of this case.


    ??The murder of Team Leader Irving is essentially a scandal within the FBI. Of course, the top officials of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch don''t want it to be known to the whole city.


    They were very satisfied with the actions of the special investigation team. The senior management must praise the special investigation team, but direct praise always has to be justified, so there was this "special case handling fund" on the surface, but in fact it was US$400,000 in the form of hush money + bonus. funds.


    ��You��re welcome, you deserve this.��


    ?Seeing Luo An''s eyes and smile, Potente-Byrne knew that Luo An already knew the true meaning of the money. He nodded with satisfaction and smiled slightly, picked up the coffee and began to shift the conversation to other things.


    The two continued to chat for a while, and Luo An turned around and left.


    ?Looking at the time, he didn''t rush back to the special investigation team. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and called Veranith.


    Since arriving in Los Angeles, Luo An has called Veranith almost every three to four days to communicate with her.


    ?After handling the bank robbery case and the murder of the teenager, Luo An did not forget to briefly describe the general situation of the case to Veranith, and by the way, he also paid attention to Veranith.


    ??Even though Roan and Verenis are located at the east and west ends of the federal territory, they are not unfamiliar, but rather familiar.


    During this period, Luo An also asked about the current status of Investigation Team No. 5.


    After Roan took Lacey and Mona away, Augustus, who had no one to use, had to go to the training department to select people. Ryder took the knowledge he learned from Roan and reluctantly broke through with the newcomers. several cases.


    Although it took a little longer to handle the case and Ryder suffered a few minor injuries, at least the case was solved and the suspect was caught. The case detection rate of Investigation Team 5 after leaving Luo An has not dropped off a cliff.


    So Augustus has already begun research to promote Ryder to the deputy leader of Investigation Team No. 5.


    After learning about this incident, Luo An immediately called Ryder. While caring about his physical condition, he also expressed congratulations to him and made an appointment to come to Los Angeles to entertain him and Yvonne in the future. thing.


    ?However, Ryder still planned to take Yvonne out to play alone and leave his son at home.


    son:"��"


    ����


    At 5:30 pm that day, the office area of ??the special investigation team. Michelle and Lacey returned here after a busy day and sat back on their chairs. Lacey stretched her waist vigorously:


    ��Finally finished the work we have to do with the Supervision Department!��


    The Supervision Department is responsible for most of the subsequent court sessions, case reports, evidence sorting and other work, while the special investigation team is only responsible for a small part, which is a very light task.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ?Mona brought the two of them a cup of coffee. She was mainly responsible for sorting out clues these days, and her work was much easier than Lacey and Michelle.


    "Thanks."


    Michelle took the coffee and said thank you, while Lacey hugged Mona��s arm, shook her and asked:


    "Mona, does the three-day vacation that Luo An promised us still count? We are exhausted these days!"


    ?Mona spread her hands and she didn��t know.


    ��Of course it counts!��


    At this moment, Luo An opened the door of the team leader''s office and walked out, shaking the folder in his hand:


    ��Today is Tuesday, starting from tomorrow, we will have three days off from Wednesday to Friday! We will also be closed on Saturday and Sunday as normal!��


    ��Ouch!��


    Hearing this, Lacey immediately jumped up with energy, Mona smiled and clapped, and Michelle also looked at Luo An with crooked eyes.


    ��Sit tight, sit tight.��


    ??Grabbed Lacey by the shoulders and pushed her back to the chair. Luo An handed the folders in his hands to them respectively:


    ��Here��s the $2,000 reward for each of you if this case is resolved.��


    Hearing this, Michelle immediately took the folder with bright eyes:


    "Thanks."


    ? Lacey and Mona didn��t say anything. They had already gathered together to study new clothing in Los Angeles.


    "And one more thing."


    ??Luo An raised the fourth folder in his hand, successfully attracting the attention of Mona and Lacey.


    ��This is the special case-handling fund of our special investigation team.��


    ?Luo An briefly explained the source and situation of the funds, and then the three of them received US$80,000 each, and Luo An kept US$160,000.


    After receiving the money, Mona and Lacey''s previous work fatigue disappeared instantly. Not only did they study newly launched women''s clothing, they even began to study new cosmetics on the market.


    ?Michelle was shocked when she received the money. She had worked at the Washington headquarters for so long and had not saved so much money.


    Recalling the jealous face of a former colleague when he heard that he was going to be transferred to work for Roan Greenwood, Michelle looked at the money in her hand with a sudden realization:


    ��No wonder����


    "What''s wrong?"


    ?Seeing Michelle''s dull face, Luo An patted her shoulder:


    ��Are you okay?��


    "fine."


    Michelle shook her head, and then said in a very sincere tone:


    ��Thank you very much, Deputy Team Leader Luo An.��


    "You''re welcome. You have contributed a lot to this case, and you deserve it."


    ??Luo An smiled and waved his hand, and when Lacey and Mona weren''t paying attention, he took the snacks on their table and returned to the team leader''s office.


    Normally, Luo An didn''t like to stay in the empty team leader''s office, but during this time he had some things that needed to be done here.

 Chapter 325： Taking stock of harvest, Mona’s nimble fingers

    Chapter 325 Taking stock of harvest, Mona��s nimble fingers


    ??After previously solving the murder of a teenager, Luo An received a total of US$2,909,000.


    After the case of the murder of Team Leader Owen was solved, Luo An received a doubled bonus of US$4,000 and US$160,000 in special funds.


    With a weekly salary of US$1,000, Luo An left US$200,000 in emergency funds before buying a car.


    ?With these funds added up, Luo An already has a cash flow of US$3,274,000.


    In terms of fixed assets, Luo An owns a small apartment in New York and a Chevrolet.


    ? There are also stocks in Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon. They were purchased for about US$5 million and are now worth close to US$7 million.


    ??In addition to these on the surface, there are also overseas accounts used by the masterminds to frame Luo An.


    The total money in those accounts was a full $700,000, with Roan and Mona each receiving half, receiving $350,000 each.


    ?In addition, there is the $300 million that Luo An obtained in the flash memory chip during the bank robbery.


    ??The reason why Luo An is staying in the team leader''s office now is that he is seriously studying the methods of money laundering in overseas accounts, and then plans to deposit the money in tax havens such as the Cayman Islands and Panama according to the original plan.


    ??Luo An does not plan to put all of the 300 million US dollars in his account to eat dust, but plans to use 200 million US dollars for investment.


    ??The federal government has done too much, and the U.S. dollar has been depreciating. If it is not invested to make money, it means losing money.


    ?Especially with the federal financial crisis a few years later and the economic shocks in other countries, it really makes no sense not to make a lot of money in other places except the East.


    After making almost enough money, Luo An will see if he can continue to move up.


    The politics of federal society are closely linked to money from beginning to end. Only those with money have power.


    There is no Underwood family in Washington in this world, and Roan does not intend to be president.


    ??But if there is a chance to establish a Greenwood family...it seems like a good idea?


    ?Shaked his head and threw aside the thoughts that came to his mind. We will talk about the future later. The top priority now is to get rid of the 300 million US dollars quickly.


    ?Taking a deep breath, Luo An picked up the Internet money laundering case files on the table and the corresponding Internet-level books, and began to study seriously.


    It was soon time to get off work, because the holiday would begin tomorrow, and Lacey rode her motorcycle straight to a nightclub.


    ? Michelle took a taxi to the Los Angeles Public Library, intending to borrow a dozen books before it closed. She would not leave the rental house during the holidays.


    Roan got into Mona��s second-hand car and returned to their rental house with her.


    ?Looking at the slowly retreating scenery, Luo An sat in the passenger seat, pondered for a while, and said with a smile:


    ��Mona, come with me to buy a car tomorrow.��


    ?)


    ?Mona was stunned for a moment and turned around:


    "you sure?"


    "certainly."


    Luo An nodded and continued:


    ��But I don��t plan to buy something too expensive this time, just one worth about ten thousand dollars.��


    Mona smiled when she heard this:


    ��What, are you scared by that Porsche thing?��


    ? Luo An grinned bitterly and did not answer. He was not afraid of meeting enemies, but he really didn''t want to experience the terrible feeling of having his new car destroyed again.


    That night, Luo An and Mona prepared dinner together.


    ??Luo An took out a few candles and lit them, turned off the lights, put on the music, and raised his glass to Mona with a smile:


    "cheers."


    ��cheers.��


    ??Mona raised her head and took a sip of red wine, picked up the knife and fork and began to taste the food made by Luo An:


    "It was delicious."


    ��As long as you like it.��


    ??Luo An ate two pieces of steak and a few oysters. After dinner, the two did not clear the table. Instead, they hugged each other and danced slowly to the music.


    ?As time passed by, the air between the two people became hotter and hotter. Mona leaned against Luo An��s ear and whispered:


    .


    "Um?"


    ��I��m going to tell you a secret.��


    ??The air blown out by Mona when she spoke made Luo An''s ears feel a little itchy, but his heart was getting hotter and hotter. So he also leaned into Mona''s ear and asked in a low voice:


    ��What secret?��


    ��I told you not to be angry.��


    ��Then it depends on what you are talking about.��


    Mona chuckled and bit Luo An''s ear: "Not tonight, I''m going to be ahead of schedule."


    ����


    Hearing this, Luo An''s face froze, and his hot heart instantly cooled down.


    ?However, Luo An suddenly remembered another thing, and hurriedly pulled Mona away and asked seriously:


    ��How many times is this? Are you sick? Let��s go to the hospital for a checkup.��


    ��No, it��s just that I��ve been under a lot of pressure at work these days.��


    ??A warm feeling flashed in Mona''s heart, she hugged Luo An again and started dancing:


    ��Just take a break and it��ll be fine.��


    "��All right."


    ?Luo An chose to believe Mona, but while dancing, he planned to make something for Mona to eat at this time as an oriental woman.


    ?Feeling that Luo An was a little absent-minded and that his body was no longer as strong as before, Mona raised her eyebrows slightly:


    ��Are you unhappy?��


    Just as Luo An was about to express his thoughts, Mona suddenly bit Luo An��s ear and whispered with a rosy face:


    ��Go to my room, I have a little surprise for you.��


    ?)


    Without waiting for Luo An to ask questions, Mona pulled him into Mona''s bedroom.


    ?Two hours later, tired Mona finished washing and fell asleep, and Luo An walked into the shower room with a grin on his face.


    ��Typing on the computer keyboard is useless, my fingers are too flexible.��


    ? Luo An turned on the shower, closed his eyes and started taking a shower, then opened the system page in his mind.


    After solving the two cases [Murder of Teenagers] and [Murder of Team Leader Owen], the system gave Luo An excellent evaluations.


    The eight treasure boxes opened are [Swift Potion x2] [Strength Potion x1] [Analgesic Potion x1] [Antidote Potion x1] [Featherfall Potion x2] [Weakness Potion x1]


    At this time, in Luo An��s system warehouse page, there is [Hemostatic Potion x5]


    ��Antidote x4��


    ��Swift Potion x2��


    ��Strength Potion x2��


    ��Sensitive Agent x2��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x4��


    ��Featherfall Potion x2��


    ��Stamina Potion x4��


    ��Sleep Potion x2��


    ��Scuba Potion x2��


    ��Weakness Potion x2��


    ?During the battle at Lawrence''s house, Luo An drank a bottle of [Swift Potion], so there were only two bottles of [Swift Potion] in the system at this time.


    ?In addition, three days ago, two $100 bills were written out of the treasure chest, which Luo An casually stuffed into his pocket, preparing to use them to buy daily breakfast and dinner ingredients.


    ?Luo An has now completely figured out the logic of opening the treasure chest:


    On weekdays, the treasure chest will be evaluated according to Luo An��s performance, and then potions will be randomly distributed.


    ?Every half a month, the system treasure chest will randomly draw out US dollars, and the amount is not fixed, ranging from 1 US dollar to 100 US dollars.


    ��At least I can save a lot of food money every month.��


    ?Luo An smacked his lips, closed the system page, returned to Mona''s bedroom after taking a shower, and fell asleep with Mona in his arms.


    In the next three days, Mona and Lacey went shopping during the day, while Luo An watched movies and exercised at home.


    ??The two wandered the streets of Los Angeles in the evening, randomly selected restaurants to enjoy delicious food, and lived extremely happily every day.


    Saturday night, Roan and Mona were watching the sunset at the beach and enjoying their world together. At this moment, Lacey suddenly called them.


    ��I��m Luo An, what��s wrong?��


    Lacey on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious and weird:


    ��Roan, I can��t contact Michelle!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 326： Los Angeles Central Library theft

    Chapter 326 Theft from Los Angeles Central Library


    Hearing Lacey��s words, Mona got up from Luo An��s arms. Luo An didn��t panic, straightened up and asked calmly:


    ��Which phone number did you call Michelle?��


    Since the special investigation team was declared on holiday on Tuesday, Michelle has been living the life of a homebody.


    Michelle has a total of three phone numbers, one for dealing with non-urgent situations such as insurance companies and landlords, one for contacting relatives, friends and former colleagues, and the last one for answering mission calls from Luo An��s special investigation team. .


    Most of the time, Lacey makes the second call to Michelle, but except for the third call, Michelle can easily refuse to answer the first two calls because she is reading, so Roan asks Lacey this question.


    ��I��ve beaten both the second and the third.��


    Lacie on the other end of the phone explained:


    ��Michelle has run out of food these days, so she asked me for help and asked me to send her some food.


    But when I arrived at her door, I found that no one was home and I couldn��t reach her on the phone. "


    In order to read more books these days, Michelle ate all the fast food that she had bought before.


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An frowned slightly when he heard this. Although Michelle was obsessed with reading, she could distinguish the important from the important and rarely failed to contact him.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An said into the phone:


    ��Lacie, please carefully check Michelle��s room and the surveillance in that building, I��ll go...��


    Before Luo An finished speaking, Mona''s cell phone suddenly rang.


    ?Mona picked it up and looked at it and found that it was Michelle''s phone.


    Luo An immediately stopped talking when he saw this. Mona pressed the answer button with a solemn expression. After a few seconds, her expression became weird.


    ?Hang up the phone, Mona looked at Luo An, who was full of doubts, and couldn''t tell whether to laugh or cry:


    ��Michelle is now at the LAPD. The books in the Los Angeles Library have been lost. The LAPD suspects that Michelle is a thief.��


    ����


    ����


    Half an hour later, inside the LAPD police station.


    ??After Luo An showed his identity to Mona and Lacey, he quickly clarified the situation of the entire incident from a police chief.


    ?At about 11 o''clock last night, the LAPD received a report from the Los Angeles Central Library, saying that they discovered that the library''s security system had been compromised, and then found that the originals of some of the library''s rare books had been stolen.


    The original value of those rare books was very high. When the LAPD learned about the incident, they immediately dispatched the police and quickly mobilized surveillance inside and outside the library.


    ?Then the LAPD discovered in the library monitoring and library borrowing records:


    Two weeks ago, Michelle came to the library many times to borrow copies of those books. She did not come to the library a week ago, and then came to the library three days ago to borrow copies of those books.


    ?The timing was a bit coincidental, so the LAPD regarded Michelle as one of the suspects and asked her to come to the LAPD police station to cooperate with the investigation.


    After figuring out the whole story, and with the guarantee provided by Lacey and others, Michelle quickly walked out of the LAPD police station.


    ��Michelle, you really shocked us!��


    ??Mona��s car drove forward slowly, Lacey slapped Michelle **** the arm and said with a smile:


    ��I thought you were robbed!��


    Michelle looked apologetic:


    ��I��m really sorry.��


    "People safe is good."


    Luo An was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at the rearview mirror, and asked casually:


    ��By the way, what specific books were stolen from the Los Angeles Central Library?��


    ��Mainly some collections of books and original documents on topics such as Europe and America between 1000 and 1500 AD.��


    Speaking of this, Michelle��s eyes shone:


    ��They are all very valuable books. After I came to Los Angeles, I submitted an application to the library to view the original manuscripts, but it was never approved, so I was ready to use the FBI to investigate the case.��


    ������x3


    When Luo An and the three of them heard this, they all looked at Michelle strangely. If the three of them hadn''t known that Michelle had been squatting at home these days, and that Michelle was of average physical fitness, had simple interpersonal relationships in Los Angeles, and wasn''t very good at computers, they might have begun to suspect that Michelle was stealing these things. Book thief.


    Seeing the looks in the eyes of the three people, Michelle was slightly startled, and then felt a little embarrassed:


    "Feel sorry."


    "fine."


    Luo An replied casually, and Mona, who was driving, thought about it and asked:


    ��Michelle, when you said those books were very valuable, did you mean in terms of knowledge or money?��


    ??This case belongs to the LAPD. If the library does not seek help from the FBI, the FBI will not take the initiative to intervene. And even if the FBI intervenes, it does not require their special investigation team to be dispatched, so Mona is just a little curious about it.


    ��On both levels.��


    ?Hearing Mona��s question, Michelle thought for a while and explained:


    ��Needless to say, in terms of knowledge, many experts and professors in the Federation have completed their research by relying on the original collection of books and materials.


    In terms of money����


    ?Michelle scratched her head and paused for a few seconds before saying:


    ��If you are someone who likes this kind of books very much, they will most likely offer a very high price.��


    Hearing this, Lacey also became curious and came up to ask:


    ��How high is very high?��


    ��Maybe 200,000 to 800,000 US dollars.��


    ?Michelle said:


    ��Maybe more than $800,000.��


    "Wow."


    Lacie opened her mouth and sighed, and Luo An smiled and said:


    ��This is the value of knowledge.��


    ?The four of them chatted and laughed all the way back to Michelle''s house. Mona and Lacey had been here before, but Roan was the only one who came here for the first time.


    Enter the room and glanced around, and then heard Michelle''s introduction. Luo An raised his eyebrows and found that Michelle in life and Michelle at work were completely different people.


    At work, Michelle is conscientious, never procrastinates, and completes every task conscientiously.


    There is no jewelry on the body for decoration, the clothes are decent, and the spirit is very good.


    Michelle in life, she said that her schedule these days is very chaotic. When she gets sleepy after reading, she goes to bed. When she wakes up, she continues to read. When the curtains are drawn and the lights are turned on, she has no idea whether it is day or night outside.


    ?The food we ate was purchased fast food, but the scene in the room was not as chaotic as imagined, but rather orderly:


    On the left side of the living room are several tall stacks of books and a desk, where Michelle reads and takes notes.


    ? To the right of the living room is the bedroom. There is only a folding bed and a long clothes rack in the bedroom.


    Michelle sleeps and changes clothes here on weekdays. Most of the clothes on the hangers are the clothes Michelle wears when working. There are only a few clothes in life, less than one-tenth of Mona''s.


    In addition, the entire room is also very clean, the garbage is sorted and placed outside the door, and the food is placed within easy reach. Michelle herself is clean except for her clothes and hair, which are a little messy.


    ?Seeing Michelle who had almost suppressed her desire to eat, drink, play and have fun to a minimum, Luo An had nothing to say except admiration. He helped her repair the broken lamp and then prepared to leave with Mona and Lacey.


    Hearing this, Lacey shook her head and said that she would leave later. She had something to ask Michelle for advice.


    ??The mysterious appearance aroused the curiosity of Luo An and Mona, but Lacey did not say whether he was dead or alive, so Luo An and Mona did not ask in detail, and they turned and left here.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 327： Hollywood billionaire shot

    Chapter 327 Hollywood rich man was shot


    On the way home, Luo An was driving this time.


    ??Mona sat in the passenger seat and was silent for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked with a smile:


    ��Roan, Lacey doesn��t want to be with Michelle, does she?��


    ��Most likely not.��


    Luo An heard this and shook his head:


    ��Lessie is a very dedicated person, she only likes girls aged 18-25, who are young, beautiful, and have excellent figures.


    ?Michelle is 29 years old this year. Her appearance and figure are all in the general category, and she is completely outside of Lacey''s range of choices. "


    "Forehead��"


    ??Mona twitched the corner of her mouth when she heard this, and then raised her brows:


    ��What about you, Luo An? What do you like?��


    ��Of course I like you like this.��


    The experienced Luo An easily bypassed the pit that Mona dug for himself. Mona was very happy after chatting with her with a few simple words of love. Luo An smiled when he saw this and continued:


    ��I think the question Lacey asked Michelle for advice was most likely about what a more artistic woman like Michelle would prefer.��


    Luo An��s words were not without purpose. When he went out for lunch a few days ago, he saw Lacey hooking up with a female college student waiter who wore glasses and was working as a part-time student in a restaurant.


    ??Although the waitress looks a bit rustic in appearance, Luo An, who has good eyesight, is sure that as long as she changes her hairstyle and clothes, she will definitely be as good as those stars in Hollywood.


    ??When Lacey was chatting with the girl, Luo An found that the girl''s conversation, outlook on life and values ??were more literary.


    In addition, when Lacey went out in the past few days, she often carried several books that she borrowed from Michelle but had hardly read, so Luo An made the judgment just now.


    After listening to Luo An��s words, Mona yawned and threw Lacey��s matter behind her.


    She usually has little interest in Lacey''s private life. When she asked Luo An this question just now, Lacey''s mysterious look aroused her curiosity.


    Saturday night passed quickly, and on Sunday, Luo An and Mona continued to go shopping in Los Angeles.


    During the period, the two met FBI Investigation Team No. 1 and went up to say hello. Only then did they learn that the LAPD stated that it was unable to handle the Los Angeles Library book theft case, so it handed the case over to the FBI.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Tapping the shoulders of the two detectives of Investigation Team No. 1, Luo An handed the coffee he just bought to them, and then left the scene with Mona and a smile.


    ��Thank you, Deputy Team Leader Greenwood.��


    ?The two agents took the coffee and thanked them profusely. One of the agents with short hair looked at the backs of Luo An and Mona and sighed with emotion:


    ��They are also an investigation team of the Criminal Investigation Division. Why does the work of the Special Investigation Team seem so easy?��


    "You think too much."


    Another older agent took a sip of coffee and said with a smile:


    ��It��s because Deputy Leader Greenwood is so good that he makes you feel that the work of the Special Investigation Team is easy.��


    "Um��"


    ??The short-haired detective originally wanted to discuss the leader of his No. 1 investigation team, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words.


    ��Let��s go and keep working.��


    ��OK.��


    The day on Sunday passed quickly. After Luoan once again experienced Mona��s dexterous little surprise, he started a new week��s work.


    Monday, the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    ��Good morning, Aribadi.��


    ??Luo An opened the door of the investigation team while eating breakfast:


    ��How was your weekend?��


    ??Mona rolled her eyes at Luo An and did not answer. She walked to her seat, opened the bag and started eating breakfast.


    ??Lacie did not answer Luo An, but at this time her face was full of smile, and the word "proud" was written all over her smile.


    Michelle swallowed the breakfast in her mouth and replied seriously to Luo An��s words:


    ��I read books all day on Sunday and had a great time.��


    ��Good.��


    After finishing breakfast in two or three mouths, Luo An took out his mobile phone from his pocket, shook it and said:


    ��Everyone, get ready for work, the LAPD has sent us a new gift.��


    ����


    Central Los Angeles, a certain street. Luo An and Lacey parked their SUV on the side of the road. Not far away diagonally across from them, several LAPD police cars surrounded a silver-gray convertible sports car.


    An isolation tape was drawn around the police car. Several LAPD patrol officers stood outside the isolation tape, trying to maintain order and prevent the media with cameras and microphones from crowding into the scene.


    ��Wow, what a journalist from Los Angeles.��


    ??Lacie followed Luo An slowly towards the scene, raised her watch and glanced at the time:


    ��It seems like it was less than twenty minutes from the time we were notified by the LAPD to the time we arrived at the scene.��


    ��If you were a journalist, you would definitely be fired.��


    Luo An grinned when he heard this:


    ��If this group of reporters had taken more than ten minutes to arrive at the scene of the crime, their positions would have been taken away by their colleagues.��


    Lacie shook her head:


    ��Crazy Los Angeles.��


    ��No, it should be sick Hollywood.��


    ??After casually correcting Lacey''s words, Luo An took out a golden badge to show his identity, then opened the isolation tape and entered the scene.


    An LAPD sergeant came over, stretched out his hand and said:


    ��Hello, Deputy Leader Greenwood, I am Yolande.��


    ��Hello, Chief Yolande.��


    Luo An stretched out his hand and shook it, and asked:


    ��What��s going on at the scene?��


    ��The victim was driving and talking on the phone to his lawyer when he died.��


    Yolande led Luo An to the side of the silver-gray convertible, pointed at the body in the car and said:


    ��The lawyer heard two gunshots and the sound of a vehicle collision. After several calls to his boss but no answer, the lawyer quickly called the police.


    The lawyer is a witness. We have asked him to come to the scene and he is currently on the way. "


    ��Good.��


    ? Luo An nodded and began to check the condition of the bodies in the sports car.


    Because the corpse''s head was tilted to the left, Luo An couldn''t see the corpse''s face clearly from this side, but Lacey on the opposite side could see it more clearly.


    After looking down on the face of the deceased, Lacey was suddenly surprised and said:


    ��It��s Xander-Ghis!��


    Luo An was full of doubts:


    "You know him?"


    ��I��m even more surprised that you don��t know him.��


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Lacey was a little speechless, and then patiently explained the identity of the deceased:


    ��Sander Gies, in his thirties, is the boss of a well-known Hollywood film company. He is a second-generation rich man and a billionaire.


    ?Hander-Gies has been in the news ever since he successfully acquired the film company using inherited funds.


    Because this guy has so many emotions, he has had scandals with some female movie stars from time to time. "


    ��This is Hollywood, it��s normal.��


    ? Luo An had no feelings about this. The other party was the boss of a film company, and it was normal for him to be with a female star.


    There is a saying that the end of Mulholland Drive in Hollywood is a bed.


    Lacey thought for a while, walked to Luo An, and whispered in Luo An��s ear:


    ��In addition, this guy has a lot of criminal records.


    In the FBI''s internal database, there are many cases in which victims sued him, but he used money to wipe them out. "


    ?This news surprised Luo An. Sander and Geese are both billionaires, so the game is not consensual?


    Lacey didn��t see the surprise in Luo An��s eyes, and she continued in a low voice:


    ��If Sander Guise really died because of a woman, there would be too many suspects in this case.��


    ��How many can there be? Hundreds?��


    ��No, it��s definitely over a thousand.��


    ����


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 328： Is the shooter a woman?

    Chapter 328 Is the shooter a woman?


    At the crime scene, next to the silver-gray convertible car.


    Hearing that Sander-Ghis had had relations with nearly a thousand women during his lifetime, Luo An suddenly fell silent.


    ??It is indeed a liberal democratic federation, but the life of the rich is really boring and boring.


    ?Also, what do these rich people use to maintain themselves?


    Lacey next to her lowered her head and said nothing. She had seen the tidbits about Sander Gies in the media. It is no exaggeration to say that the women the other party dealt with were either in good shape or good-looking. Never treat yourself poorly in this regard.


    The thought that there were nearly a thousand women like this... a feeling of envy, jealousy, and hatred immediately lingered in Lacey''s heart.


    ??Luo An coughed twice, patted Lacey on the shoulder, then took out his mobile phone and called Mona:


    ��Mona, how��s the surveillance going around here?��


    ��Sorry, I only found the scene when the murderer fired.��


    Mona on the other end of the phone typed on the keyboard a few times, frowned and explained:


    ��There was an intersection in front of the victim��s sports car. At that time, the victim just slowed down the car and then he was shot in the chest.


    ?When the gunfire rang out, passers-by on the roadside fled in all directions. There was no trace of the murderer in the surveillance footage, and there was no footage of the murderer shooting. "


    ��There is no trace of the murderer?��


    Roan raised his eyebrows, leaned forward and looked at the location where Sander Giese was shot in the chest. He used his experience as a killer to guess the general direction of the murderer''s shooting, and then walked to the road next to him with his cell phone:


    ��Mona, where exactly was the victim shot?��


    ��You keep walking backwards.��


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard to turn the computer screen to the real-time surveillance video of the crime scene, and remotely controlled Luo An to the exact location where Sander Guise was shot in his sports car.


    ?That location is not far from the intersection and is in the middle lane of the road.


    ��This place����


    ?Standing at the position where the victim was shot, Luo An squatted down slightly, followed the traces of bullet holes on Sander-Ghis''s chest, looked up and looked not far away, and then his face changed slightly.


    ?According to Mona��s surveillance investigation, the murderer was not in the surveillance footage when he shot Sander Guise.


    The distance between most of the locations outside the surveillance screen and the location where Sander-Ghis was shot was at least more than 200 meters.


    ?After investigation just now, Luo An and Lacey determined that the bullet in Sander-Ghis�� chest was a 9mm pistol bullet.


    An ordinary 9mm pistol with an effective range of 50 meters.


    Although it is still lethal at a distance of 200 meters, when shooting at this distance, the 9mm bullet is affected by gravity, wind speed, etc., so whether it can accurately hit the target is a big problem.


    What''s more, this is an outdoor area with many passers-by and complex scenes. All kinds of things have a great impact on the shooter.


    Even so, the murderer quickly took out his 9mm pistol and fired twice at a location 200 meters away. The two bullets perfectly hit Sander-Ghis''s chest, and then he put away the pistol and ran away quickly.


    ��He is a ruthless character.��


    ?Standing up straight, Luo An glanced at several places in the distance and clicked his tongue. It seemed that this gunman was no ordinary person.


    ��Roan! LAPD found a witness.��


    ?At this moment, Lacey shouted to attract Luo An''s attention, and then came over with a black girl with dreadlocks.


    ?Hearing what Lacey said, Luo An immediately returned to the silver-gray sports car, briefly introduced his identity, and asked:


    ��What did you see when the gunfire rang out? Did you see the murderer?��


    ��No.��


    ??The black girl shook her head, saying that she did not see what the murderer looked like.


    At the time of the incident, she was tying her shoes across the street. The sound of gunshots when the murderer opened fire scared her and she sat down on the ground.


    The black girl said that she subconsciously looked towards the location where the gunfire came from, but did not see who the shooter was, nor did she see any men. There were all women running around in panic. ��No men? All women?��


    Hearing what the black girl said, Luo An didn��t say anything. Lacey hurriedly asked:


    "you sure?"


    ��Yeah.��


    Once again confirming that the black girl had read correctly, Lacey turned to look at Luo An and spread her hands:


    ��I didn��t expect the murderer to be a woman.��


    ?Luo An tilted his chin and nodded, adding:


    ��She is also a woman with extraordinary skills and excellent marksmanship.��


    ����


    Noon, Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ��Sander Gies, 39 years old, is the boss of a well-known film company in Hollywood. That film company has made many movies in recent years and earned a lot of box office.��


    ?Mona sat at her work station and introduced the victim��s information to others:


    ��Sander-Gies��s father was an entrepreneur engaged in the chemical industry. After his father��s death, Sander-Gies chose to abandon the traditional physical industry and began to enter industries such as film and media.


    ?Sander-Gies��s personal financial situation is good, and the film company��s financial situation is also good. There are no problems with funds for the time being. "


    Luo An nodded and was about to speak when Lacey suddenly became interested and asked:


    ��Does Sander-Ghis have a son or daughter? Who will inherit the property when he dies?��


    ??Mona glanced at Lacey, tapped the keyboard a few times, and said:


    ��Sander-Ghis has no sons or daughters unknown to the public, nor any wives, and both his father and mother are dead.


    ??The only person we have found who can legally inherit Sander-Gies��s legacy is a cousin of Sander-Gies who is currently attending university in another state, studying biology and ethics. "


    Lacie stopped talking after hearing this.


    She originally wanted to investigate who was the biggest beneficiary of the death of Sander Geese, then that person might be the suspect in the murder of Sander Geese.


    ??But the probability that a girl who is far away from the other side of the Federation and has never seen Sander Geese since her birth is suspected of killing Sander Geese is really low.


    ��Lucky girl.��


    Luo An did not comment on this girl who had the opportunity to become a billionaire. He asked:


    ��How are you doing with your investigation of the women who have had relationships with Sander Guise?��


    "not so good."


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Mona suddenly showed a headache expression, typed on the keyboard a few times, pointed to the information inside and said:


    ��Sander-Gies��s life secretary gave me a lot of information, including 622 women.


    In addition to these, the secretary said that Sander Geese also had relationships with many women that she did not know. She did not know the names of those people, not even Sander Geese himself, so I could not investigate at all. . "


    Looking at the pictures of models, hosts, fitness instructors and other women on the computer, Lacey''s eyes turned red and she became even more envious and jealous.


    ��Go back and ask Lacey for a copy of Sander-Geece��s recipe and medicine. I think she might be able to use it.��


    ??Throwing a pot to Lacey casually, selectively ignoring Lacey''s dissatisfied look and the hygiene ball that Mona threw to him, Luo An continued:


    ��Leave these women alone for now.


    I remember Lacey said before that Sander-Geece had many cases involving strong men, but they were all suppressed by money. Have you investigated those women? "


    ��I��ll check it right now.��


    ??Mona nodded, turned around and continued to type on the computer. At this moment, Michelle held a folder, pushed open the door of the investigation team and walked in:


    ��The Trace Inspection Section has completed the investigation of the crime scene and the preliminary autopsy of Sander Gies. This is a brief report issued by them.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 329： Bloody photos, asking for investigative clues

    Chapter 329 Bloody photos, asking for investigation clues


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Taking the folder handed over by Michelle, Luo An opened it.


    ?The Trace Inspection Section��s judgment is the same as Luo An��s previous judgment. The cause of death of Sander-Ghis was indeed two 9mm bullets in the chest.


    The Trace Inspection Section also conducted a ballistic test based on the two bullets and found that the gun used by the murderer was not in the FBI''s internal database, nor in the gun sales files on the market. It was a black gun that appeared for the first time.


    ?However, the Trace Inspection Section has entered the gun''s data into the FBI''s internal database. As long as the other party uses this gun again, they will have a chance to catch the other party.


    ��By the way, the Trace Inspection Department found this thing in the clothes on the victim��s chest.��


    ?Michelle took out a small transparent evidence bag from her pocket, which contained several **** mugshots.


    Luo An took the photo and looked at it. Not surprisingly, the person inside was a very beautiful white girl.


    Lacey, who was standing next to her and clearly saw the faces of the people in the photo, grinned and said:


    ��It��s really a photo that fits the character of Sander Geese.��


    Roan heard this and handed the photo back to Michelle:


    ��Log in to the FBI��s internal database and check the identity of the girl.��


    "no problem."


    Michelle took the photo and began to investigate. Mona, who had been busy for a long time next to her, said:


    ��I��ve almost checked it.��


    "marvelous."


    Roan and Lacey immediately came to Mona:


    ��What are the specific circumstances of those health-care cases?��


    ��There are a total of 19 **** cases recorded in the FBI and LAPD databases related to Sander Guise.


    ?As for those who were silenced by Sander-Ghis with money, I can��t find out. "


    ?Mona brought the specific circumstances of these cases to the two of them and explained:


    ��The names and identities of the nineteen victims.


    ?One thing they have in common in their accounts is that Sander-Gies forced their will by putting something in the wine. "


    When speaking of this, the expression on Mona''s face was extremely disdainful. She looked down upon Sander-Ghis''s behavior very much.


    The other woman, Lacey Lacey, also had contempt in her eyes.


    ?Luo An was a little confused and didn��t quite understand why Sander-Ghis did this.


    ???These nineteen women all said in their narratives that they had been dating Sander-Ghis for a period of time before they were harmed by each other.


    ?Without tools, there is a high probability that Sander-Gies can achieve his goal. After all, few women can refuse the pursuit of a billionaire.


    In this case, why did Sander-Gies do this?


    Do you have any weird hobbies?


    ��I don��t understand the world of rich people.��


    Shaking his head and throwing the matter behind him, Luo An asked:


    ��Did any of the nineteen victims work in the federal military, law enforcement, or participate in gun-related sports?��


    "I am searching."


    ??Mona continued to type on the keyboard after hearing this, and Michelle on the other side raised her hand:


    ��Deputy Leader Luo An, I found out the identity of the girl in the photo.��


    "oh?"


    Luo An immediately turned around:


    ��What is the specific situation of that girl?��


    ��The girl��s name is Lexi and she is 23 years old.��


    Michelle transferred the girl��s information to the computer desktop and explained:


    ��The information shows that she is from Arizona, currently working in a high-end restaurant in Hollywood, and studying in an acting class on weekends. She seems to be a girl who is ready to make a career in Hollywood.��


    ��A very motivated girl.��


    Luo An admired this girl''s fighting spirit, but was not very optimistic about her future.


    ?Hollywood is a world-class film center. Every year, there are countless girls like Lexi who pursue fame, but only a few of them ultimately succeed.


    After all, Hollywood is the most powerful and male-dominated place in the world. It is simply impossible for women to get what they want simply by working hard without giving anything else.


    Hearing Roan��s evaluation of Lexi, Michelle nodded and continued to add:


    ��Sander-Geece''s credit card showed that he had dined with Lexi thirty minutes before he was killed.�� ?????��OK.��


    ??Roan patted Lacey''s arm and asked her to go to the equipment room to get something. Then he looked at Mona and asked:


    ��How is the investigation going on here?��


    ��I am investigating the life experiences of the nineteen victims one by one.��


    ?Mona picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said casually:


    ��Give me another five minutes.��


    ��Check slowly, don��t be in a hurry.��


    Roan picked up Mona��s coffee cup and refilled it, and then left the special investigation team with Lacey:


    ��Let��s go talk to that beautiful Ms. Lexi and see what she thinks of Sander Guise, a guy who likes to bully women.��


    ����


    ??A high-end restaurant in the Hollywood area of ??Los Angeles.


    ��Sander is a gentleman!��


    After learning the identities of Roan and Lacey and their purpose, Lexi, who was wearing waiter''s clothes but still couldn''t hide her excellent figure and pretty face, immediately gave Sander-Geece the highest praise:


    ��He is the finest man I have ever met!��


    ������x2


    Looking at this young girl with glowing eyes, Luo An and Lacey felt their teeth hurt a little.


    ? Judging from appearance alone, Sander-Ghis is well-dressed and has a tough face. He does look handsome.


    But internally��


    After pondering for a while, Lacey briefly explained that Sander Giese had been killed and his previous experience of bullying women.


    What surprised Roan and Lacey was that Lexie''s expression did not change at all after hearing the news, neither surprised nor any other emotion.


    ��I have seen the news about Sander Guise��s murder on the news.��


    Lexi shrugged. A billionaire was shot and killed. How could the media in Los Angeles, which wanted to pay attention to his life, let this news go?


    ?Shortly after Roan and Lacey arrived at the crime scene, the news hit the top of the Hollywood press, and soon the whole of Los Angeles knew about it.


    ??As for Lexi''s first explanation, Lacey nodded and chose to believe it, and then asked:


    ��What about the news about Sander Guise��s experience of bullying women? Do you know about this?��


    "Of course I know!"


    Lexi said that she has been in Hollywood for so long and has some sources of information. She has long known about Sander Geese��s experience of bullying women.


    ?But Lexi didn''t care after knowing this, because Sander-Ghis told her that those women were fabricating such rumors to frame him in order to defraud him of money.


    Lacie grinned:


    ��You believe what Sander-Gies said?��


    Lexi raised her head:


    "Of course! He is a single billionaire, there must be women who want to take advantage of him."


    Lacie has black lines all over her head:


    ��Then you are not afraid that what Sander-Ghis said is false and that he will attack you and bully you when the time comes?��


    "So what?"


    Lexi spread her hands:


    ��If he is sincere, I will have a chance to leave this restaurant in the future.


    ??If it is false and he really bullied me, at worst, I will take him to court and ask him to pay me a sum of money.


    No matter what happens, I won��t lose anything. "


    ����


    ??Hearing Lexi''s logical and logical words, Lacey was stunned, and Luo An, who had been silent, also had black lines on his head.


    ?Sure enough, those who have been able to do well in Hollywood for such a long time do not have simple roles. It was because they thought each other was simple before.


    Without further ado, Luo An asked directly:


    ��You have had a lot of contact with Sander Guise during this period. Was there anything wrong with him during this period? For example, was he nervous or worried?��


    ��Well, there is indeed one thing.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 330： Two suspects, interrogated, suddenly confessed

    Chapter 330 Two suspects, interrogated, suddenly confessed


    In a well-known restaurant in Hollywood.


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Lexie tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said:


    ��One afternoon a few days ago, Sander and I were walking in the park. Suddenly a woman jumped out of nowhere and cursed Sander, saying that she wanted to find someone to kill him, and she also laughed at me for being a fool.��


    At the end of the sentence, Lexi��s face was full of disdain.


    On the first day she came to Hollywood, Lexi was already prepared to sacrifice something. Of course, it would be best to succeed. If she didn��t, she would be bitten by a dog.


    Lexi looked down on the kind of woman who only cared about being sad and angry after being bullied without taking advantage of herself in time.


    ����


    ??Lacie was speechless, silently lamenting that Hollywood is indeed a place where talents are born in large numbers.


    Roan did not comment on Lexie��s outlook on life. He valued the case in his hand more. He made a few notes in a small notebook and continued to ask:


    ��Do you know what that woman��s name is?��


    ��No.��


    ? Lexi shook her head, then added:


    ��But Sander��s secretary may know, because Sander called his secretary that day, and it was his secretary who brought someone to deal with the woman.��


    ��Secretary? Which secretary?��


    ��The one with the red hair seems to be Sander��s life secretary.��


    Half an hour later, in Sander Guise��s villa.


    ��Christiana Selene.��


    The door to the study room was pushed open, and a middle-aged white woman walked in. She stretched out her hand and looked at Luo An and Lacey with an apologetic face and said:


    ��I��m sorry to keep you waiting.��


    "It doesn''t matter."


    ?Luo An stretched out his hand and shook it. He had previously wondered how Sander could let the women around him go with his character and habits.


    ??What kind of woman dares to work next to him and isn''t afraid that Sander will get interested and add spices to the wine one day?


    ?Now seeing Christiana''s pudgy figure and average face, Luo An finally understood where the other person''s confidence lies in daring to work for Sander.


    ��You two, please take a seat.��


    There is a large desk at the back of the study, and a smaller desk on the side. Christiana sat behind the small desk, poured two cups of coffee for Roan and Lacey, and explained:


    "I''m really sorry. Sander left so suddenly. We are already busy with his funeral."


    ??Luo An took the coffee and nodded. After all, Sander-Gies is a billionaire and has no parents or children. How to distribute so much money and company stocks is indeed a big problem.


    ??However, Luo An was too lazy to pay attention to these things. Briefly introducing the incident Lexi mentioned, Luo An asked directly:


    ��Do you know who that woman is?��


    ��I know that the woman sent Sander multiple emails insulting him.��


    ?Hearing Luo An��s question, Christiana suddenly understood. She immediately turned sideways and typed on her computer, while explaining with a wry smile:


    ��But that woman didn��t know at all that I was always in charge of Sander��s public email address.


    ??That woman��s emails insulting Sander were actually all sent to me. "


    Lacey, who was sitting aside, frowned slightly when she heard this:


    ��As Sander��s life secretary, you must know very well what Sander is doing, how do you...��


    ��How could I turn a blind eye to those things and continue working for Sander with peace of mind, right?��


    Before Lacey finished speaking, Christiana interrupted her, then handed a printed piece of paper to Roan, looked at Lacey and explained:


    ��It��s simple, this is Hollywood and I need to make money to support myself.��


    Lacey was about to say something when she heard this, but Luo An stretched out his hand to stop her, then pointed at the woman named "Viola" on the paper and asked:


    ��What exactly is going on between Viola and Sander?��


    Christiana didn��t introduce much, she just said:


    ��This woman went to Sander��s company and cursed Sander, saying that Sander bullied her against her will.��


    ��OK.��


    Roan understood the meaning of Christiana''s words, stood up and extended his hand to her:


    ��Thank you for your cooperation. We may contact you during the follow-up investigation. Please keep your communication open.�� Christiana shook hands with Luo An and smiled:


    ��Of course, I will cooperate.��


    The two left Sander-Geece��s villa, Luo An got into the SUV, took out his cell phone and called Mona:


    ��Mona, how is your investigation going?��


    ��I found a suspect.��


    Mona on the other end of the phone typed on the keyboard a few times, looked at the character information on the computer and said:


    ��Among the 19 victims, a young woman named Alana told her psychiatrist a week ago that she wanted to find a killer to kill Sander Guise.��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows:


    "Psychologist?"


    Lacie in the co-pilot saw this and explained:


    ��It should have been the psychiatrist who judged that Alana had ��potential homicidal tendencies�� and called the police.��


    Snapped!


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone snapped her fingers:


    ��Lacie is right.��


    ��Good.��


    ??Luo An picked up the paper in his hand, told Mona the general information about Olvera, and then said:


    ��This lady has had trouble with Sander, please check her situation briefly.��


    ��OK, give me two minutes.��


    ?Hang up the phone, Luo An started the SUV and started driving slowly toward the FBI Los Angeles branch building.


    The SUV hadn��t gone far when Luo An��s cell phone rang again. Mona on the other end of the phone said in a serious tone:


    ��Roan, this Olvera and Alanna know each other, they once worked together in a company.


    ??The difference is that after Alanna was bullied, she reported it to the LAPD''s Special Victims Unit.


    ?Overa did not; she was an unrecorded victim in the archives. "


    After listening to Mona��s description, Lacey in the co-pilot concluded:


    ��The two women knew each other, and they both said they wanted to find someone to kill Sander.��


    "Finding a killer is not a cheap thing. Paying half the money per person is a very cost-effective solution."


    Luo An nodded when he heard this, threw the paper aside and asked:


    ��Mona, where do these two ladies live?


    ?You and Michelle should also go on a field trip. We need to invite them to our special investigation team for a cup of coffee. "


    ����


    Two hours later, at 3:30 pm, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    The two ladies, Olvera and Alana, were already sitting in the two interrogation rooms.


    ?Roan and Michelle pushed open the door and entered the interrogation room where Olvera was.


    Ovela behind the table is a young woman with obvious mixed-race characteristics. She has a face as delicate as a doll and a very good figure.


    ?Seeing Luo An and Michelle walk into the room, Olvera directly crossed her legs and sneered:


    ��I don��t want to lie to you, to be honest, I��m very happy that Sander Guise is dead, very happy.��


    "Yeah?"


    ?Michelle turned on the computer and started recording the interrogation content. Luo An sat down on the interrogation table, looked down at Olvera, and asked with a smile:


    ��Do you think hiring a killer to deal with the other party is a good idea?��


    ?Ovela raised her head and said with a cold face:


    ��Why not?��


    ??Luo An smacked his lips and was about to speak when there was a sudden knock on the door of the interrogation room. He left the interrogation table and opened the door, only to find that the person knocking on the door was Lacey.


    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Lexi glanced at Olvera in the interrogation room, and then whispered in Luan''s ear:


    ��Alanna pleads guilty.��


    Luo An:?


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 331： Take money to kill yourself

    Chapter 331: Kill yourself with money


    ??Lacie''s words stunned Luo An for a second, then he walked out of the interrogation room, closed the door, stood in the corridor and asked:


    ��What exactly happened?��


    ��It��s very simple.��


    ??Lacie shrugged and said that after Roan and Michelle entered Olvera''s interrogation room, she and Mona also entered Alana''s interrogation room.


    Lacey briefly exchanged greetings with Alanna, and then Mona said that she had checked Alanna''s bank account consumption records. There was a sum of two hundred thousand dollars in cash that Alanna had withdrawn from the bank, but Alanna had not used it. Records of money spent.


    ?After listening to Mona''s words, Alanna, who had already completed her revenge and was filled with anger, did not hesitate or make any more detours. She directly stated that she would use the money to hire a killer to kill Sander-Ghis.


    ?Overa was not involved. This matter was just Alana��s private business, and she paid for it herself.


    ����


    Luo An��s head was full of black lines when he heard this, but he suddenly thought of a question:


    ��The information shows that Alanna is just an ordinary person working in a company. Where did she get two hundred thousand dollars?��


    ?Most ordinary people in the Federation have less than $100,000 in savings in their lifetime.


    Two hundred thousand dollars is a huge sum of money that Alana, who has only been working for a few years, cannot afford.


    Hearing Luo An''s words, Lacey looked a little strange. She did not answer Luo An immediately, but asked him a question:


    ��Do you remember what Mona said before that Alanna had reported to the LAPD��s Special Victims Unit and accused Sander Guise?��


    "I know."


    Luo An nodded:


    ��But this kind of thing was suppressed by Sander-Ghis with money..."


    Speaking of this, Luo An suddenly realized:


    ��You mean, Sander-Ghis gave this money to get Alanna to drop the accusation and buy her to shut up?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Lacie said with a bitter smile:


    ��Alanna said that Sander-Geece spent three hundred thousand dollars to convince her to shut up and give up on the matter.��


    ��Alanna then used the $200,000 to hire a hitman to buy Sander Guise��s life, and she still had $100,000 left.��


    ? Luo An grinned when he heard this, and he couldn''t help but smile like Lacey.


    ??Never thought that Sander-Ghis would die with his own money.


    ??Does this count as buying your own life with your own money?


    ??Luo An and Lacey looked at each other, and they both saw the good look in the other''s eyes.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An opened the door of the interrogation room, let Michelle come out to rest for a few minutes, then opened the door of the interrogation room where Alana was and walked in.


    ?Entering the interrogation room, Luo An cast his eyes on Alana behind the interrogation table. The first thing he felt when he saw her was that she was big.


    It��s too big, it��s really too big.


    Not the kind of burdensome size, nor the kind of abrupt size, but the kind of size that perfectly matches Alana''s delicate face and excellent figure.


    ??Although he despised Sander Guise as a person, Luo An admitted that the other party had a good vision in choosing women.


    ?Suppressing the male biological instinct, Roan pulled his eyes out of Alanna''s abyss, and then sat down next to Mona.


    "snort."


    ?Hearing Mona''s soft snort in his ear, Luo An showed no emotion and decided to have a good fight with Mona tonight.


    Coughing twice, Luoan looked at the interrogation record recorded by Mona, looked up at Alanna, and asked directly:


    ��You said you hired a killer to kill Sander-Ghis. Where did you contact the killer? What did the killer look like?��


    ��Sorry, no comment.��


    Alana behind the interrogation table glanced at Luo An, leaned back, and said:


    ��Don��t you just want to know who asked for Sander-Ghis to be killed?


    I admit it, I did it, hurry up and take me to court. "


    Seeing Alana''s completely opposite attitude from before, Luo An became interested. His mind was spinning rapidly and he asked with a smile:


    ��Alanna, if you continue to have this attitude, then when you go to court for trial, in addition to hiring a murderer to kill, you will also be charged with not cooperating with the FBI and lying to FBI agents.


    You should know that lying to and deceiving FBI agents is a serious crime under federal law. "????Hearing Luo An''s words, Alana straightened up immediately and stared at Luo An with wide eyes:


    "you��"


    Luo An chuckled when he saw this, crossed his legs, leaned back, and looked at the opponent.


    The two looked at each other for a moment, and in the end, Alana was defeated first:


    ��Sorry, I don��t know.��


    Luo An didn��t say anything, Mona frowned and asked:


    "I do not know what that means?"


    ��I just don��t know.��


    Alana curled her lips and said:


    ��Suppose I found the person online and kept in touch by phone without ever meeting the killer.


    ?Then how do I know who the killer is and what the killer looks like? "


    ����


    ??Mona opened her mouth when she heard this, not knowing what to say next, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Luo An.


    Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he saw this and asked:


    ��How did you hand over the two hundred thousand dollars to the killer?��


    Alana thought for a while and said:


    ��He messaged me and asked me to put the money in a trash can on a street somewhere in West Los Angeles.��


    ��OK.��


    ? Luo An was not surprised by this answer, but he felt that the killer''s methods were a bit old-fashioned and nothing new.


    Luo An then asked:


    ��Is this $200,000 all the money the killer asked for, or is it a deposit?��


    A kind of killer makes money by taking orders, which is divided into two stages:


    ?First, take a deposit to kill the person. If you fail, the deposit will not be refunded. After success, the death scene of the target person will be sent to the employer. After the employer confirms, the remaining payment will be paid to the killer.


    ?Most killers in this situation generally do not have a very high status and their abilities can only be considered average.


    Another type of killer makes money by taking orders, taking the full amount directly from the employer. After killing the person, he notifies the employer that the target person is dead and then disappears.


    ??If the target person is not dead, then this kind of killer will continue to attack the target person until he kills him.


    ?Most killers in this situation are not ordinary people. They have strong abilities and excellent professional skills, and they also have enough confidence in themselves.


    ??In addition to these two types, there are also some wild killers. Their methods of asking for money are not fixed, their methods are different, and their strength is not fixed. Some people think they are clever and terrifying, and some people think they are just for fun.


    ��Of course it��s all the money.��


    Alana said that after receiving the money, the other party asked her to wait for news at any time these days, and then today she saw the death information of Sander Guise on the news.


    Hearing this, Luo An frowned and remained silent. Mona thought for a while and asked:


    ��On what day did you throw the money into the trash can? Where is the specific location of the trash can?��


    ��The time was five days ago at night.��


    ?Alanna carefully told the street where the trash can was located and the location of the trash can.


    ??Mona clicked away at the computer with her fingers for a moment, and found that the trash can was in the blind spot of the surveillance, and it was impossible to see who had been there.


    The two asked Alana some simple questions again, then got up and left the interrogation room.


    ??In the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, Mona told about the situation of the trash can. Lacey thought about it, pointed to Alanna��s mobile phone, and asked:


    ��Since the person who went to dig through the trash can cannot be seen in the surveillance, should we use this mobile phone to contact the killer? And then try to find the other party��s location and identity?��


    ?Mona did not answer, but looked at Luo An, who was sitting quietly and meditating with a tea cup next to him.

 Chapter 332： Luo An worth $80,000

    Chapter 332 Luo An worth $80,000


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ?Seeing Mona, Lacey and Michelle all turn their eyes to him, Luo An stopped what he was thinking about, nodded and said:


    ��You can give it a try.��


    Michelle is a little worried:


    ��Will doing this arouse the other party��s alertness? Will it disturb the other party?��


    ??Mona picked up a data cable and plugged it into Alana''s phone, sat back in her chair, and said calmly:


    ��As long as there is sufficient reason, there is a high probability that the other party will not discover the abnormality.��


    ��But what reason should we use?��


    Hiring a murderer to kill someone is usually a one-time cooperation, and long-term cooperation is rare.


    Lacie next to her thought for a moment, clapped her hands together, and said with a smile:


    ��We can say that we want to kill another person and want to cooperate with the other party again.��


    Michelle did not deny this method, but there is an unsolvable problem with this method:


    ��Who do we let the other side kill?��


    ?According to Alanna, the killer first asked her for basic information about the target before deciding whether to accept the order.


    ??If Lacey wants to deceive the other party, the other party must provide the other party with basic information about the target person before agreeing to cooperate.


    ��This is simple.��


    ?Mona, who was sitting on the chair, smiled easily:


    ��I can create a person in the FBI database who looks real.


    But there is a prerequisite for doing this, that is, the person must really exist in this world. I just gave him a false identity, and that person must cooperate with us. "


    "this��"


    Lacie and Michelle frowned slightly when they heard this, thinking about where to find such a person.


    ??Luo An, who was sitting aside and thinking about the problem, and didn''t say much, suddenly said:


    ��Let the killer kill me.��


    "Um?"


    ??Mona and the three of them looked at Luo An with surprise, and Luo An grinned:


    ��I��ve thought about the reason. This time it��s not Alanna herself, but a married female friend of Alanna.


    ??This female friend wanted to kill her husband and defraud the insurance company of a high amount of insurance money. "


    ������x3


    ?Mona, Lacey and Michelle looked at each other and found that the reasons, characters and background given by Roan were reasonable, so they decided on the plan and started getting busy.


    ??Lacie pretended to be experienced, picked up Alanna''s cell phone, and began to contact the killer and send text messages using Alanna''s previous speech habits.


    Under Mona''s guidance, Michelle quickly forged the identity of a young and rich accountant for Luo An in the FBI database.


    In the photos of people, Michelle also lowered Luo An��s appearance a lot, to the point where even acquaintances couldn��t recognize the person in the photo as Luo An.


    ??Mona quickly typed on the keyboard while Lacey was sending messages to the other party, trying to locate the other party through the Internet and find out the other party''s true identity and place of residence.


    ??The killer on the other end of the phone replied to Lacey not long after, his words were very simple:


    ��Your friend��s contact information.��


    Upon seeing this, Lacey immediately sent her contact information to the other party.


    Soon, Lacey received a text message on her cell phone. Luo An did not rush for Lacey to reply, but turned his attention to Mona next to him.


    ?Mona shook her head and made no sound but mouthed:


    ��Give me a little more time.��


    ? Luo An nodded. Lacey paused for a few seconds when he saw this, and began to discuss with the other party in the tone of a femme fatale-hearted woman.


    ??The other party received the identity information of Luo An disguised by Michelle, and sent the price a moment later:


    80,000 US dollars.


    ??Lacie''s mouth twitched when she saw the price, and Luo An''s eyelids also twitched.


    ?But what Lacey didn��t expect was that the other party never asked her why she wanted to kill Luo An.


    After confirming that Lacey had no objection to the price, the other party directly named a location and asked Lacey to put the money in a trash can in that area in the afternoon two days later.


    ?Then no matter how much Lacey asked, the other party would no longer answer her questions.


    ��Shit!��


    Lacey cursed in a low voice, while Luo An''s expression remained unchanged and he looked at Mona calmly: "How''s it going? Have you found the other party?"


    ��No.��


    ?Mona��s face looked a little ugly:


    ��The time was too short and the other party was using a disposable mobile phone. I only found the general location of the other party in a certain area in south Los Angeles.��


    "It doesn''t matter."


    Roan patted Mona on the shoulder to briefly comfort her, then looked at Lacey and smiled:


    ��It��s time for our performance later.��


    "no problem."


    Lacie smiled slightly and raised her hand to make an "OK" gesture.


    In order to prevent the killer from coming to investigate Luo An''s situation tonight and discover anomalies, within two hours of contacting the killer, Mona and Michelle quickly arranged the house, company and information for Luo An based on the previously forged information. Cars and other items.


    The only problem is that Luo An��s face is a little... very different from the face in the information.


    ?But this was not a problem for Luo An. He went to the supermarket to buy something, and then, under the astonished eyes of Mona and Michelle, he transformed himself into the man in the photo in the villa.


    ??Mona stepped forward and touched Luo An''s face, saying in disbelief:


    ��You actually still wear makeup?��


    ��There was this course at the FBI academy, and I did pretty well.��


    ??Luo An gave the reason that he had prepared a long time ago, then pinched Mona''s face and said with a smile:


    ��Lacie is going to be my wife in the next two days, won��t you be angry?��


    ??Mona rolled her eyes at Luo An when she heard this. It was just work, and she didn''t take it to heart at all.


    Not long after, Lacey, who had also put on makeup, walked out of the room. Her makeup and temperament were very gentle, but there was a lot of arrogance and ambition in her eyes.


    Papa pa pa��


    ?Roan, Mona and Michelle all applauded Lacey:


    ��As expected of a senior agent from the intelligence service!��


    "Thanks."


    ??Lacie covered her mouth and smiled, then bent down and made a lady''s bow to the three of them.


    Everything is ready, Lacey is living the life of a housewife at home, Mona and Michelle monitor the surroundings of the villa from the basement of the villa, and Roan starts commuting like an office worker.


    ?During this period, Luo An used all his killer skills and checked more than once to see if there were any followers around him, but he found no one.


    Luo An believes that in this situation, either the other party''s skills are far superior to his, or the other party is not tracking and investigating him at all.


    ?Two days later in the afternoon, Lacey left home with $80,000 in case funds and headed to the location requested by the killer.


    ?Mona and Michelle drove far behind, preparing to see who took the money later, and then follow each other.


    Luo An disguised himself as someone else and left the company without anyone noticing.


    ?? He did not follow Lacey, nor did he plan to check who took the money. He knew without even thinking that the person who took the $80,000 was most likely not the killer himself.


    ??So Luo An began to use the killer''s ability to quietly check around the trash cans requested by the killer. Those places were suitable for hiding himself and observing the nearby situation.


    ?According to the plan, Lacey threw the $80,000 in her fast food pocket into the trash can on the corner and left directly.


    ?Mona and Michelle got out of the car, pretended to be two passers-by and watched the trash can from a distance.


    Not long after, a homeless man in tattered clothes walked to the trash can from a distance, glanced around, picked up the fast food bag, and turned away.


    ?Mona and Michelle looked at each other and immediately followed each other calmly.


    Before the two of them had walked a few steps, Luo An��s voice rang out from the communicator:


    ��Arrest the homeless man immediately and get the money back, I have caught the killers!��


    Hearing this, Michelle did not hesitate and immediately ran up. As Mona followed quickly, she asked suspiciously:


    ��Killers?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 333： A harmonious and loving couple

    Chapter 333 A harmonious and loving couple


    ?Three minutes ago, when Lacey walked to the area where the trash can was with the money, Luo An arrived on the roof of a six-story building southeast of the trash can.


    Before coming here, Luo An had quickly checked three places that were suitable for observing around the trash cans and hiding oneself as mentioned before. This rooftop was the fourth place Luo An judged.


    ?When Luo An opened the door and walked to the top of the building, as soon as Luo An went out, he saw a male and female couple hugging each other and kissing passionately not far away.


    The couple saw the sudden appearance of Luo An and quickly let go of each other. Then some of the bald men wiped the lipstick on their lips, smiled at Luo An, and prepared to pull the woman in the miniskirt away.


    ��You two, please wait a moment, I��m the FBI.��


    ??Luo An stretched out his hand to stop the man and woman, showed the FBI''s golden badge, and asked with a smile:


    ��I wonder if you saw any suspicious people when you came here?��


    ??The bald man glanced at his girlfriend next to him and asked back with a puzzled look on his face:


    ��What suspicious person? What does the person you are talking about look like?��


    Hearing this, Luo An��s smile became even warmer:


    ��It��s killers like you who have pistols hidden in your waist, armpits and thighs, and daggers hidden in your calves.��


    After Luo An finished speaking, the bald man''s face quickly turned cold. He raised his foot and kicked Luo An quickly in the abdomen. The woman wearing a miniskirt next to him also turned cold, and quickly took out a pistol from her waist and prepared to aim at Luo An.


    �ˡ�


    Luo An reacted quickly, raised his left hand to catch the bald man''s big foot, turned sideways and pulled him forward to make him unstable. He raised his foot and kicked the knee of the bald man''s other leg violently. At the same time, he touched the bald man''s waist with his right hand like lightning. pistol.


    boom! boom!


    ??The woman in the miniskirt was about to shoot, but Luo An immediately lowered his head to dodge. The opponent''s two shots missed, and the bald man''s fist hit Luo An''s temple.


    boom!


    ??Luo An pulled the trigger, and the bullet instantly flew into the bald man''s thigh. He leaned back to avoid the opponent''s attack. He also hid himself firmly in front of the bald man so that the woman in the short skirt could not fire.


    Regarding the gunshot wound on his thigh, the bald man''s expression remained unchanged, as if he didn''t feel the pain at all. After emptying his fist, he immediately reached into his armpit, preparing to take out a pistol and shoot Luo An to death.


    Luo An saw this and jumped forward, grabbing the bald man''s hand that was about to hold the gun. When the other man stopped, he snatched the gun away from him. He raised his right foot and kicked the bald man directly to the ground.


    The moment the bald man fell to the ground, Luo An was also exposed to the girl in short skirt. Without hesitation, the girl in short skirt immediately aimed at Luo An and pulled the trigger.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Three bullets flew out from the muzzle of the gun, and the expression on the girl''s face changed from pride to shock.


    Because the three bullets didn''t hit Luo An at all, Luo An teleported in front of her at a speed that she couldn''t react to, and then squeezed the girl''s hand in the short skirt.


    Under the terrifying force, the girl in the short skirt was in pain and uncontrollably let go of the pistol. The moment Luo An dropped the pistol, he kicked it far away. He pulled the girl in the short skirt''s arm and twisted it backwards. He also hid in the short skirt. Behind the skirt girl.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??The joints of both arms were buckled backwards, and the girl in the short skirt was forced to be controlled by Luo An. While she cursed loudly, she raised her head and hit Luo An with the back of her head.


    score


    Then the back of the woman in the short skirt hit the pistol held by Luo An.


    Luo An was already prepared.


    ��Sonof����


    ??The woman in the short skirt who was in pain was just about to continue to curse Luo An, when Luo An raised his pistol and aimed it at the bald man opposite, and laughed:


    ��Be civil and don��t say bad words or I��ll shoot your boyfriend.��


    ??The woman in the short skirt was slightly startled when she heard this, and then she cursed louder and louder.


    ����


    Luo An was speechless when he saw this. He looked at the bald man opposite and asked:


    ��What��s going on? Are you having a conflict?��


    ?At this time, the bald man had already stood up from the ground, turning a blind eye to the gunshot wound on his leg, and raised his pistol and pointed it at Luo An.


    Hearing Luo An��s question, the bald man chuckled:


    ��She is like this, she wishes I would die soon.��


    Luo An suddenly understood and nodded:


    ��They are really a harmonious and loving couple.��


    ��Damn it, we��re not a couple!��


    When the girl in the short skirt heard this, she struggled and twisted in Luo An��s arms very dissatisfied:


    ��I have nothing to do with him, I just came to him to learn something!��


    Hearing this, Luo An looked at the bald man and his eyes moved slightly:


    "It''s actually a relationship between teacher and student?" The bald man grinned, gave Luo An a "you know" look, and then said:


    "Mr. Detective, you let her go, and I let you go. How about we just pretend that neither of us has seen each other today and we all go our separate ways?"


    At this time, Luo An��s face was still covered with makeup, and the bald man and the woman in short skirts did not recognize who he was.


    Luo An did not answer, but glanced at the scene at the trash can in the distance, then turned on the contactor and said:


    ��Arrest the homeless man immediately and get the money back, I��ve caught the killers.��


    Hearing this, the bald man and the woman in short skirts looked at each other and immediately understood each other''s eyes.


    ?The next second, the woman in the short skirt suddenly tilted her head to the side, revealing Luo An''s head behind her. The bald man did not hesitate, pointed directly at the position where the woman in the short skirt''s head was just now, and pulled the trigger of the pistol.


    boom!


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    ?Five gunshots rang out, but Luo An''s head was still behind the woman in the short skirt, unscathed.


    ??The bald man looked at his body in astonishment. His left and right hands and left and right shoulders had each been shot once. After looking at Luo An with a complicated look, he fell backwards to the ground.


    ��Spencer!��


    ??Seeing the bald man lying on the ground in a pool of blood, the woman in the short skirt turned pale instantly. She shouted loudly, regardless of the fact that her joints were being buckled, and she struggled frantically to break free from Luo An''s control and ran to the bald man.


    Seeing such a touching scene, Luo An also expressed emotion and was quite touched.


    ?So he took out two handcuffs, cuffed the hands and legs of the woman in short skirts together, searched all the weapons on her body and the bald man''s body, and finally allowed the woman in short skirts and the bald man to lie in a pool of blood together.


    ������x2


    ��Lacie, it��s me, Roan.��


    ??Selectively ignoring the yelling and murderous looks of the woman in the short skirt, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Lacey:


    ��Call an ambulance and come to me as soon as possible.��


    ��OK.��


    Not long after hanging up the phone, Lacey arrived here with the ambulance crew.


    Roan and Lacey left with the ambulance and were responsible for guarding the bald man. Mona and Michelle drove back to the special investigation team with the woman in the short skirt.


    In the hospital, Luo An looked at the operating room boredly, waiting for the operation to end. Lacey came over with a few bags of food.


    "Thanks."


    Luo An took the food and took a big bite. Lacey sat down next to him and asked:


    ��How did you find out something was wrong between these two people?��


    ��Because I found they had a lot of weapons hidden.��


    ??Luo An swallowed the food in his mouth, indicating that the two men''s hiding methods were really average. He glanced at the opponent and saw the weapons on the other side.


    ?Lacie was a little surprised when she heard this:


    "It''s that simple?"


    ��Of course...it��s not that simple.��


    ?Luo An gave Lacey a big gasp, and then said with a smile:


    ��Remember the surveillance that Mona checked when we went to the crime scene before?


    ??When I returned to the Special Investigation Team, I took a closer look at the people captured by the surveillance cameras. The woman in the short skirt caught today was among those people. "


    Hearing this, Lacey gave Luo An a thumbs up with admiration. Just as she was about to speak, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang.


    ��I��m Mona.��


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone sounded a little strange:


    ��Luo An, the woman we caught has a problem with her identity.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 334： Stockholm Syndrome, Luo An’s poisonous tongue

    Chapter 334 Stockholm Syndrome, Luo An��s poisonous tongue


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ?After the operation on the bald killer named Spencer, Luo An took him back to the special investigation team and put him in another interrogation room.


    In the office area, Luo An sat down next to Mona and asked:


    ��You said before that the woman in the miniskirt had a problem with her identity? What exactly happened?��


    Lacey next to me also came up, she was also curious about this matter.


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard a few times and said:


    ��The FBI database shows that the girl��s name is Lexa O��Dell and she is 18 years old.��


    Hearing this, Luo An couldn''t hold himself any longer.


    When we first met, the girl in the short skirt had a lot of messy things on her face. Later, when she shed tears, she turned into a little cat with black and white streaks on her face.


    Luo An always thought that she was at least 25 years old, and it was not impossible to be thirty.


    ��I��ve long heard that Caucasian people tend to look older, but I didn��t expect it to be so outrageous.


    Luo An sighed silently, and Mona continued:


    ��In the FBI files, Lexa O��Dell��s father was a wealthy man in Las Vegas.


    ?Three years ago, the rich man called the police and said that his 15-year-old daughter was missing. However, the Las Vegas police never found him, nor did they find out how the rich man''s daughter disappeared.


    ?The rich man saw that the police were unreliable and offered a reward of US$2 million just to find his daughter. "


    ��So, we caught a rich girl?��


    ?After listening to this introduction, Lacey��s face was full of surprise:


    ��But why would a rich girl become a killer?��


    ��I was bored and looking for fun, I had conflicts with my family, I ran away from home because I was angry, I was dissatisfied with my father��s control and I took revenge on my father...��


    Luo An picked up the tea and took a sip, casually mentioned several possibilities, and finally concluded:


    ��It��s also possible that he was simply kidnapped and ended up contracting Stockholm Syndrome.��


    ??The most famous example of Stockholm Syndrome is Patricia Hearst, the daughter of the well-known federal wealthy Hearst family.


    After she was kidnapped by the "Symbionese Liberation Army", she was severely beaten and tortured, and eventually joined the organization and robbed banks with them. She was then wanted by the police, arrested and imprisoned, and her sentence was gradually commuted. Finally, she was pardoned by the president, successfully cleared of her crime, and started a new life. Returned to the socialite.


    Lacey, who also knew about this, shook her head speechlessly, and Mona continued:


    "The specific reason for Lexa O''Dell''s disappearance is not yet clear, but I have contacted the psychologist from the FBI''s Special Victims Services Department. The psychologist will come to us to contact Lexa later."


    ??Mona finished speaking, and Michelle next to her handed a folder to Luo An and said:


    ��Mona and I just briefly interrogated Lexa O��Dell, and she said that she was not the murderer of Sander Geese, but she knew who the murderer was.


    Lexa said that she could tell the identity of the murderer, and in exchange, we must let Spencer go. "


    ��She��s not a murderer?��


    Lacey frowned slightly when she heard this. Luo An had guessed this a long time ago, because when he fought with the two on the rooftop before, he discovered that Lacosa''s skills and marksmanship were only average.


    ??However, regarding Lexa O''Dell''s bargaining, Roan threw the finished folder back on the table:


    ��It seems that the rich man��s daughter is probably suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.��


    After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An stood up from his chair and said:


    ��Michelle, please contact the wealthy man and briefly explain his daughter��s situation.


    ?Mona, please cooperate with the psychologist more later.


    ? Lacey, come with me to Mr. Spencer''s interrogation room and we ask him what it was like to kidnap a 15-year-old minor. "


    ��Okay, Deputy Team Leader Luo An.��


    ��OK!��


    ����


    ??In the interrogation room, Spencer in the wheelchair had his arms tightly wrapped with bandages and his legs were firmly cuffed. He looked very depressed and no longer as energetic as he was on the rooftop. Roan sat across from Spencer''s interrogation table, frowned, and said to Lacey behind him:


    ��Turn off the light above his head. The light is a bit dazzling.��


    "oh."


    ??Lacie subconsciously glanced at Spencer''s somewhat reflective bald head, pressed the switch, and silently turned off the light.


    ����


    ?Hearing Luo An''s words and seeing Lacey''s movements, Spencer''s face twitched and his breathing accelerated several points.


    ��Good evening, Mr. Killer with thin hair.��


    ?Seeing that Spencer was preparing to face the interrogation in silence, Luo An felt disapproving and launched a vicious offensive:


    ��Can you tell us what the crime of bullying a minor is under federal law?


    ?Also, how do those guys in prison who are so hungry and eager to dig into any hole they find treat those criminals who bully minors? "


    ??Spencer was furious when he heard Luo An''s words, but still didn''t speak, just staring at the two people opposite him.


    Luo An was not in a hurry. He crossed his legs, picked up the tea cup and drank slowly. He continued to chat with Spencer one-sidedly, but he never left the other person''s bald head. He would definitely be able to contact Lexa O''Dell within five sentences. .


    ?Spencer, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was getting more and more irritable and his breathing was getting heavier and heavier.


    Finally, when Luo An despised him as "a killer who has been around for many years, even two of his apprentices can''t beat me or the FBI", Spencer finally couldn''t bear it anymore:


    ��Sonof is better than eating! It��s obviously you who didn��t practice martial ethics and hid your identity in the first place!��


    Spencer''s face turned red, and he was about to explode with anger.


    Since the bank robbery, the face and name of Roann Greenwood, the deputy leader of the FBI Special Investigations Unit, have become quite famous in the underground world of Los Angeles.


    Many killers keep Luo An''s face in their minds and choose to take a detour if they meet him in the future.


    ??Because these killers are not sure that they can break into a bank controlled by a group of robbers alone like Luo An, and kill each other while leaving themselves unharmed.


    ?Spencer is also one of these killers. He does not think it is shameful to do so, because those who care about face and life have already gone to hell.


    ??When I met Luo An this afternoon, Spencer did not recognize his identity because Luo An was wearing makeup, so he chose to confront Luo An head-on.


    ?As a result, Spencer was lying on the ground, seeing the scene of Lacey helping Luo An take off her makeup, and Spencer almost felt regretful.


    After listening to Spencer''s narration, Lacey opened her mouth slightly and looked at Luo An in shock. She didn''t expect Luo An to have such a famous reputation in the underground world.


    ??Luo An was also very surprised by this. He had never been to the underground world of Los Angeles, but he really didn''t know about it.


    ��It seems that we need to prepare a few more vests in the future.��


    Luo An was extremely vigilant and silently wrote down the matter. On the surface, his expression remained unchanged and he continued:


    ��Let us not waste any more time, Spencer, and tell me who the murderer of Sander Guise was.


    In return, I will not explain to the judge your failure to cooperate with our request just now. "


    Hearing these empty words, Spencer had a dark expression and had a deeper understanding of Luo An''s thick skin.


    ??But now people are fighting for their swords and others are fighting for their flesh and blood. Spencer was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said:


    ��I can tell you who the killer is, and I can also help you find her or even capture her.


    But I also have a request, that you give up prosecuting Lacosa. "

 Chapter 335： The real killer, kaka bar

    Chapter 335 The real killer, kaka bar


    ??Regarding Spencer''s request, Lacey also learned Luo An''s venomous tongue:


    ��I��m sorry, Mr. Spencer, it��s not time to go to bed yet, so don��t talk in your sleep.��


    ??Spencer''s eyes changed when he heard this, and just as he was about to continue speaking, Luo An suddenly realized a problem and asked:


    ��Spencer, when and where did you and Lacosa meet?��


    ��A year ago, in a bar in Los Angeles.��


    ??Spencer frowned slightly, not understanding why Luo An asked about this matter, but still answered his question seriously:


    ��I went there to drink, and Lacosa was owed wages by the bar owner, so I helped her out.��


    Roan and Lacey looked at each other after hearing this. It seemed that there was another reason for Lacosa O''Dell''s disappearance.


    ?Spencer didn��t understand what Luo An and Lacey meant. He continued to say with a serious face:


    ��Two agents, since Lacosa came to me, I haven��t killed anyone so far. I really didn��t lie to you about this����


    ��OK.��


    ??Roan waved his hand and interrupted Spencer''s words. Lexa O''Dell had a wealthy father. If she had really never killed anyone, the other charges would not be a problem to her at all.


    ??Spencer didn''t know that Lacosa''s father was a rich man, and when he got a positive reply from Roan, he stopped talking nonsense and directly told the killer''s situation.


    "The female killer is called "Jane", which is not her real name. No one knows what her real name is."


    Spencer introduced seriously:


    "This woman is about 40 years old. She is acting alone. She should be from the military. Her killing methods have the shadow of the military. She likes to kill with one blow."


    Lacie began to record carefully in her notebook, and Luo An asked:


    ��How do you know it was her who committed the murder?��


    ��Because on the day Sander-Ghis died, Lacosa was visiting the spot and she saw the woman.��


    ??Spencer said that after he took the order to kill Sander-Ghis, he had been using him to practice Lexa''s spotting ability in the past few days.


    ??That day, Spencer was watching Lexa step out from a distance when he suddenly heard gunshots and saw Sander Guise dead.


    ??Lakesha saw the appearance of the murderer in the chaos. When she turned around and said to Spencer, Spencer immediately recognized who the other person was.


    ?Luo An continued to ask:


    "Do you know the reason why this "Jane" killed Sander Guise?"


    ��No.��


    ??Spencer shook his head, how could he possibly know why the other person killed him:


    "I feel like "Jane" just took on the task of killing Sander-Ghis. This woman only cares about money."


    ?Luo An picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It seemed that this time he wanted to catch the killer first, and then investigate the person behind the order.


    Lacie finished recording in her notebook, raised her head and asked:


    ��Where does this ��Jane�� live?��


    "I have no idea."


    The killer''s residence has always been a secret, and no one else will know it except those with particularly close connections.


    Lacie frowned slightly when she heard this:


    ��You don��t know where she lives? Then you just said you could help us find her?!��


    ??Luo An beside her was not in a hurry, because every killer has his own method.


    As Luo An expected, Spencer grinned and explained:


    ��I really don��t know where ��Jane�� lives, but I know where her favorite place is.


    When there is no task, "Jian" spends most of her time there having fun. "


    ��Good.��


    Luo An put down the teacup and nodded with satisfaction:


    ��Where is that place?��


    ��Kaka�� bar on 19th Street in West Los Angeles.��


    ��??!��


    Hearing the name of this bar, Lacey''s pupils shrank. Seeing the change in her expression, Roan glanced at her without saying anything and continued to ask Spencer questions.


    After a while, the interrogation ended, and the two walked out of the room. After the door closed, Luo An asked directly:


    ��What happened just now?��


    ��I know that ��Kaka�� bar!��


    Lacie did not hide anything or hesitate, she said directly:


    ��It is the most secluded and informative **** bar in West Los Angeles. I often went there to have fun some time ago.��


    ������???Luo An��s mouth twitched when he heard this, and he was silent for a few seconds before patting Lacey��s shoulder:


    "very good.


    ??You will lead the way in this operation to capture the killer "Jane". "


    Lacie nodded, thought about it, and asked:


    ��I met a few friends in that bar, should we try to find clues about ��Jane�� through them?��


    Luo An asked in a deep voice:


    ��Are your friends reliable?��


    ��Absolutely reliable.��


    Lacie smiled and shook her finger:


    "You have to believe me."


    When Luo An saw this, he covered his face helplessly:


    ��OK, give it a try.��


    ��No problem, leave it to me.��


    Lacey walked away to make a phone call, and Roan returned to the office area and handed Mona the portrait of "Jane" that the portraitist drew based on what Spencer said, asking her to try to find out the true identity of "Jane" name, and other useful information.


    Michelle walked over at this time and shook the mobile phone in her hand:


    ��Psychologists from the Special Victims Unit are in contact with Lacosa O��Dell, and the atmosphere in the room is not bad.


    ?In addition, Lexa O''Dell''s wealthy father has already taken a private jet to come to us from Las Vegas and should be arriving soon. "


    Roan��s eyes lit up when he heard the word private jet. He pulled Michelle to the side and asked in a low voice:


    ��What do you think of the $2 million reward that the rich man issued to find his daughter?��


    ?Michelle was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head in embarrassment:


    ��Sorry, I forgot to ask.��


    ����


    ?Looking at Michelle, who had an apology written on his face but didn��t know what the specific mistake was, Luo An sighed speechlessly.


    ??It''s still that the time he worked under Luo An was too short, and he didn''t learn the essence of the special investigation team''s case handling.


    ?After coughing twice, Luo An began to teach Michelle briefly. Michelle had a very correct attitude and nodded repeatedly while studying hard.


    ��Good.��


    Roan was very satisfied with Michelle��s attitude. At this moment, Mona raised her hand:


    ��I found out the true identity of this ��Jane��.��


    After hearing this, Luo An immediately walked over to Mona. On the computer was a photo of a young white woman with short hair.


    ��Jianaya Jones, a former CIA agent, was fired by the CIA due to a major mistake in an operation, and later switched to a professional killer.


    There are family genetic problems regarding mental health, which are not particularly stable and require long-term use of certain medications. "


    ?After listening to Mona''s introduction, Luo An looked at the line "Extremely accurate marksmanship" in the other party''s information, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.


    ?It seems that she is the real killer of Sander-Ghis, but I don��t know who is the person who issued this task to her.


    At this time, Lacey came over shaking her cell phone and said seriously:


    "My friend met that "Jane" not long ago, and she is now in a hotel not far from the "kaka" bar."


    ��Well done.��


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction, then thought for a while and said:


    ��Michelle, Mona, you stay with the special investigation team and guard the interrogation room.


    ? Lacey, contact the SWAT team and we will go to the hotel to check the room together. "


    ��Okay, Deputy Team Leader Luo An!��


    "no problem!"


    Thirty minutes later, two SWAT teams blocked the front and back doors of the hotel.


    Luo An and Lacey took several other SWAT members along the stairs to the floor where Janaya was. Everyone slowly moved to the door of Janaya''s room. Lacey was about to take the room card to open the door, but Luo An suddenly stretched out his hand. Stopped the other party.


    Lacie looked confused, and just as she was about to raise her head, Luo An suddenly pushed Lacey to the ground with force.


    boom! boom! boom!


    The next second, several bullets suddenly shot out from the room!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 336： Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, one effort can defeat ten levels

    Chapter 336: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, defeat ten with one force


    The ninth floor of the hotel, at the door of a certain room.


    The sudden bullet made Lacey''s pupils shrink when she fell to the ground. Roan glanced at Lacey to make sure she was not injured, and immediately picked up the key card and opened the door.


    ??The four SWAT members behind the two men did not hesitate when they saw this, and immediately hid behind explosion-proof shields and rushed into the room with rifles raised.


    ��Don��t move! Get down!��


    "Raise your hand!"


    There were three young girls without clothes in the room. The SWAT team members entered the room and shouted orders. Their faces were full of panic, and they all fell down on the bed facing the gun.


    On the other side, a rope hangs from the balcony of the room.


    Luo An, who was behind the SWAT team members, could clearly see that the moment they broke into the room, a figure jumped from the balcony along the rope.


    Luo An quickly walked to the balcony, briefly shook the rope, determined the length of the rope, immediately pressed the contact device, and ordered in a cold voice:


    ��Comprehensive blockade of the fourth to eighth floors!��


    "clear!"


    All SWAT members in the communicator responded in unison. Seeing Lacey walking to the balcony, Luo An said in a deep voice:


    ��Take someone to carefully check the elevator shaft in the hotel. Janaya may choose to escape from there.��


    ��OK.��


    Lacey nodded after receiving the order. Luoan put the Glock 18 back on his waist and jumped to the convex wall on the other side of the balcony rope.


    Then Luo An bent down, jumped out of the balcony wall with his lower body, grabbed the balcony with his fingers, and then suddenly let go of his hands under the shocked eyes of Lacey and several SWAT members!


    Luo An''s actions startled Lacey. She hurriedly stretched her head out of the balcony, and then she was shocked to find that Luo An was hanging on the eighth floor balcony wall with both hands.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Seeing Luo An continue to let go and jump to the balcony on the seventh floor, Lacey took a deep breath, secretly cursed Luo An for his life, turned around and quickly left the room with the two SWAT members:


    ��Notify the hotel to stop the elevator! Check the elevator shaft carefully!��


    Downstairs outside the hotel, I looked up and saw Luo An going down to the balcony level by level without any protective measures, relying only on his arms and hands to support himself. Several SWAT team members looked horrified and their eyes changed.


    boom! boom!


    Suddenly, just as Luo An jumped to the balcony of the room on the fifth floor, two gunshots suddenly rang out from there. Several agents downstairs were startled, and their hearts jumped into their throats.


    ?On the other side, in the room on the fifth floor, Janaya��s face was filled with disbelief.


    She had been raising her gun to guard against the rope she had left, preparing to shoot someone down the stairs quickly if someone jumped down the rope.


    What Jianaya never expected was that Luo An actually jumped down from the other side of the balcony with just his arms and no other preparations!


    ?However, the experienced Janaya quickly moved the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger, but in the second she was stunned, Luo An''s reaction speed was faster than her.


    ??Grabbing hard with both hands, Luo An suddenly jumped onto the balcony. Luo An successfully dodged the first bullet from Janaya, while the second bullet slightly grazed his calf.


    A few drops of blood seeped onto his pants, and Luo An didn''t care. He raised his head slightly, grinned, and showed a smile to Janaya, who was in cool clothes and with short brown hair:


    ��IFoundYou (I found you)��


    ??Luo An thought his smile was very friendly, but in Janaya''s eyes, it was definitely the scariest smile she had ever seen in her life!


    ?Especially when she saw Luo An''s face clearly, Janaya''s pupils shrank suddenly and the hairs on her body stood up instantly.


    ??She had seen Luo An''s face painting in the Los Angeles underworld and heard about Luo An''s performance in the bank robbery.


    ?At that time, Janaya only remembered the name and face of Roan Greenwood in her head, but didn''t pay much attention to it.


    ??As a former CIA agent, Janaya is very familiar with the operations of the federal government. She believes that Luo An''s real ability is only about 80% of what is reported in the news.


    ??But when one bullet missed and another missed the edge, Jian Naya, who was absolutely confident in her shooting skills, couldn''t help but curse:


    ??What are those bugs at the top of the federal government thinking? Why put such a scary guy in the FBI? Is it overkill? !


    ?Bang bang bang bang��


    ??She frantically pulled the trigger of the pistol towards Luo An''s position. At the same time, Janaya turned around and quickly ran out of the room with her thighs open. He stepped **** the ground with his right foot and turned his body to the left at an extremely fast speed to avoid the bullet. Luo An stared at Janaya''s back with his eyes fixed on her, and he rushed over like a cheetah.


    score


    The moment Luo An grabbed the back of Janaya''s neck with his right hand, Janaya suddenly turned around, crossed her hands and grabbed Luo An''s right hand, jumped onto Luo An''s shoulder, and hung on Luo An like a snake. Spin quickly, and finally throw Luo An to the ground with force.


    Luo An, who was lying on the ground with his head firmly clamped by Janaya''s long legs, did not panic at all and asked:


    ��Brazilian jiu-jitsu? Good practice.��


    ??Jiannaya held Luo An''s arm firmly with both hands and sneered:


    ��Thank you for the compliment, but this is a physical technique that will send you to hell.��


    "Really? But you should know a saying, one force can defeat ten groups."


    ??Luo An grinned, put his left hand firmly on the ground, and suddenly stood up from the ground with Janaya on his shoulders.


    ??While her right hand was grabbed by Janaya, a confused Luo An slammed her against the wall of the room.


    Bang!


    Under the terrifying force, an indescribable pain suddenly came from Janaya''s back.


    ?Jiannaya��s face turned livid:


    "you��"


    Before she could finish her words, Luo An continued to raise his right arm and smashed it against the wall of the hotel.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Three muffled sounds of flesh contacting the wall resounded through the room. Jian Naya''s face turned from blue to gray, and a lot of blood flowed from the corners of her mouth. However, she still used her last strength to lock Luo An''s head firmly with her legs and her hands. He also grabbed Luo An''s arm and refused to let go.


    ?Seeing that Luo An was about to hit herself against the wall, Janaya''s expression changed, and she suddenly grabbed the fingers of Luo An''s right hand and prepared to break them in the opposite direction.


    ??Feeling Janaya''s movement, Luo An''s face suddenly darkened, so he suddenly changed direction and slammed the right hand that was hitting the wall to the ground.


    score


    ??The tiles on the floor of the hotel room instantly shattered, Janaya''s expression changed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out uncontrollably.


    ??However, Janaya still chose to use her body to cuff Luo An and not let go. Seeing this, Luo An was not in the mood to waste time with her. He raised his left hand to grab Janaya''s foot and violently broke it to the side.


    Click!


    "ah-"


    ?Huge beads of sweat instantly appeared on Janaya''s head. Luo An then used his left hand to break open the thigh that had lost a lot of strength on his head, and then threw Janaya out of the room with all his strength.


    Bang!


    ??The door of the room was smashed to the ground from the inside out in an instant. Janaya was lying in the corridor, staring at Luo An who was walking towards her with a stern face, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and finally fainted with a look of reluctance on her face.


    ? Several SWAT members who came here not far from the corridor looked horrified when they saw this scene, and they all swallowed their saliva.


    ��Hurry up and call an ambulance. People can��t die, but she is still useful.��


    ? Luo An casually said a few words to the SWAT team members, then bent down and briefly searched Janaya''s body, and found something similar to a phone card.


    ��OK, no problem.��


    The SWAT team members hurriedly nodded and pressed the communicator. One of the team members saw that Luo An��s calf was still bleeding and said quickly:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, let��s ask someone to bandage you.��


    ��Thank you, no need for now.��


    Luo An thanked him, then looked at the card in his hand, pressed the contact device, and said:


    ��Mona, come to the scene with your laptop, we need your help here.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 337： A paradise for criminals, the cases mentioned by the killer are true

    Chapter 337 Criminal��s Paradise, the truth about the case from the killer��s mouth


    Two hours later, the hotel scene was sorted out, and Janaya was taken to the hospital by Lacey and four heavily armed SWAT members in an ambulance.


    ?According to the judgment of the doctors in the operating room, Janaya''s thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, scapulae, ribs and foot bones all had varying degrees of fractures and injuries.


    The doctor said that she will not be fit to walk for a long time in the future. Even during the interrogation, Janaya must lie on the hospital bed, otherwise there is a risk of broken bones and punctured internal organs.


    Looking at the certificates and reports issued by the doctor, Lacey and several SWAT team members looked at each other, and they all saw the speechlessness and shock in each other''s eyes.


    Since then, Roan Greenwood has become an urban legend as the deputy leader of the FBI investigation team among a small group of SWAT members in Los Angeles.


    Luo An just smiled at the admiring looks the SWAT team members looked at him. He didn''t care about the extent of Jian Naiya''s injuries, as long as she didn''t die.


    ??Luo An��s entire attention now is on the card in Mona��s hand that looks like a phone card:


    "What is this?"


    ��It should be a certificate.��


    In the SUV, Mona studied the card carefully for a moment, then took out a card reader from the back seat of the car and inserted the card.


    ��Certificate?��


    Luo An was slightly startled when he heard this word. Thinking of Jian Naya''s identity as a killer, he raised his eyebrows:


    ��Is it the login credentials for a killer website?��


    After inserting the card reader into the computer, a page with blue sky and white clouds and a beautiful scenery suddenly popped up.


    Mona��s fingers were flying on the keyboard, and after a moment she shook her head helplessly:


    ��Sorry, Luo An, the protection of this website is very high. It is best to use a password to log in. If it is cracked by force, I am worried that it will cause excessive losses.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An nodded and did not let Mona break it violently. Anyway, Janaya was also in their hands.


    Not long after, Luo An��s cell phone rang:


    ��It��s me, Lacey.��


    Lacey on the other end of the phone glanced at Janaya, who was tightly tied to the hospital bed with her silver teeth clenched, and said in a strange tone:


    ��Jiannaya has finished the operation. She wants to see you and has some things she just wants to talk to you alone.��


    Luo An:?


    ??Mona:? ? !


    ?Hearing Lacey''s words, Luo An was a little confused, while Mona narrowed her eyes slightly.


    ??Although Janaya is a killer, she has good looks and excellent temperament. Her 40-year-old age also provides her with a special charm.


    ??Mona didn��t think Luo An would have anything to do with Janaya, but she was still very wary of Janaya.


    Don��t ask, it��s a woman if you ask.


    ��OK, I��ll be there soon.��


    ? Luo An glanced at Mona in the passenger seat in a funny way, hung up the phone, started the SUV, and headed to the direction of the hospital.


    Twenty minutes later, Luo An and Mona walked into the ward where Janaya was.


    ��Good evening, Ms. Killer.��


    ??Luo An handed the late-night snacks he bought on the way to several SWAT members in the corridor and Lacey in the ward, then looked at Janaya and said with a smile:


    ��How are you? How many bones are broken?��


    ����


    Jianaya glared at Luo An fiercely. She wanted to take a deep breath to calm down her mood, but when she took a deep breath, she smelled the food in the hands of Lacey and others, and she suddenly became even more angry.


    ?After a long silence, Janaya finally calmed down her mood, so she whispered:


    "Greenwood, I have something to say to you alone. Please ask other irrelevant people to leave the room."


    ��Sorry, there are no irrelevant people here.��


    ?Besides himself, there were only Mona and Lacey in the room. Luo An decisively waved his hand to reject Janaya''s request:


    ��If you have anything to say, just say it. If nothing happens, I��ll go back and rest first.


    I have been busy all day today and I had a fight with you just now. I am very tired. "


    "you��"


    Jianaya''s eyes suddenly widened, and Luo An didn''t care, just looking at her quietly. Time passed minute by minute, and finally Janaya lowered her head and whispered a string of numbers and letters:


    ��3f76d9s4����


    After saying this string of words, Janaya whispered:


    ��You should get my pass. This is my account name, and the password will be kept secret for the time being.


    I know the true identity of one of the founders of this website and can tell you who he is.


    My request is very simple. You must reduce my sentence to the greatest extent possible, and you must not send me to a prison such as Angola Prison. "


    Angola Prison, one of the most terrifying prisons in the Federation, the prison administrator claims that no one can get out alive, and only after death can the body leave the prison.


    ??Luo An did not immediately agree to Janaya''s request, but asked instead:


    ��What��s going on with this website?��


    ��A paradise for criminals.��


    Jianaya sneered and explained:


    ��Human trafficking, arms smuggling, hiring murders, gambling transactions, live streaming of murders, and other criminal activities you can think of are all here.��


    When Lacey and Mona heard this, their expressions darkened. Luo An��s expression did not change. Isn��t this the mysterious dark network that will be passed down from later generations?


    ??It''s just that the one in Janaya''s hand is more hidden and mysterious. Not only does each person''s physical card pass need to be exclusive to enter the website, but if the pass is lost, Janaya said that person will never be able to enter the website in his life.


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��So, the killing of Sander-Ghis was the task you took on in this website?��


    ��Sander-Ghis?��


    ??Jiannaya was slightly startled:


    "Did you arrest me because of him? No, how did you know that I killed him?"


    ??Jiannaya has always paid great attention to details. She can guarantee 100% that when she does it, no surveillance camera will see her, nor any other cameras in the nearby area.


    ��You don��t have to worry about it.��


    Luo An did not tell her the reason behind it, and asked again:


    ��What happened to the murder of Sander Guise?��


    ?At this point, Janaya had nothing to hide and said directly:


    ��An order placed by her daughter.��


    ��?��x2


    Hearing this, Lacey subconsciously turned her eyes to Mona. Mona was also stunned for a moment, then shook her head:


    ��No, Sander-Ghis has no women����


    Halfway through speaking, Mona suddenly remembered something, and Luo An''s eyes moved slightly:


    ��Illegitimate daughter?��


    ��Yeah.��


    ??janaya nodded and said that half a month ago, a young girl found her in the "kaka" bar and took out a sum of money and begged her to kill Sander-Ghis.


    Jianaya made a brief inquiry and learned that this girl had a relationship with Sander-Ghis not long ago, and found out that she was pregnant after being abandoned.


    The pregnancy was discovered by the girl''s mother, who asked who the child''s father was. The girl''s mother collapsed and committed suicide because twenty years ago she took $200,000 to withdraw her sexual harassment accusations against Sander-Gies.


    After living with her mother for many years, the girl almost collapsed when she learned the truth. After selling everything, she took the money and found Jianaya. Jianaya agreed to take over the task, and the girl did not wait for Sander-Gis. Upon hearing the news of his death, he immediately jumped off the building and committed suicide.


    After Janaya said this, she sneered:


    ��As a killer, I have to do things when I get paid. This is my basic quality.��


    ������x2


    ? Mona and Lacey had different expressions and didn��t know what to say. Roan felt that the reason why Janaya killed Sander-Ghis was not simply because of money, but also had a lot of personal emotions.


    Shaking his head, Luo An then briefly asked for the girl''s name, identity information and other information, asking Mona to verify the authenticity of the matter, and then prepared to ask Janaya again about the website.


    ?At this moment, Luo An��s cell phone suddenly rang.


    ��Deputy leader Luo An, it��s me, Michelle.��


    Michelle on the other end of the phone whispered:


    ��Lakesha O��Dell��s wealthy father has come to our special investigation team, and he asked to see you.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 338： Bail, oldmoney, the truth of the case

    Chapter 338 Bail, oldmoney, the truth of the case


    The next day, at nine o''clock in the morning, the special investigation team conference room.


    ??Lakesha O''Dell''s wealthy father is an elderly white man named Puranna O''Dell who sits in a wheelchair and is followed by two middle-aged secretaries, a man and a woman.


    ? Luo An is not particularly good at distinguishing the age of white people. The age of black people is more difficult to tell, but the old white man in front of him has too many wrinkles on his face. Luo An feels that he is at least 70 years old.


    ?As expected, Michelle handed him the brief information of the other party. Luo An looked down and found that the other party was 86 years old this year.


    ��Lakesha O��Dell is 18 years old this year, and her father is 86 years old����


    ?? After simply calculating Lacosa''s age when she appeared, Luo An was secretly stunned. The life of rich people is indeed extraordinary.


    ?Throwing aside the messy thoughts in his heart, Luo An straightened up, stretched out his hand and shook Puranai O''Dell:


    ��It��s an honor to meet you, Mr. O��Dell.��


    ��Hello, Leader Greenwood, you are such a young and promising young man.��


    ?Purannai O''Dell smiled while sitting in the wheelchair and praised Luo An several times.


    ��Mr. O��Dell deserves the award.��


    Luo An smiled and exchanged greetings with the other party, and then brought the conversation to the main topic:


    ��I don��t know that Mr. O��Dell asked to see me. Is there anything you need my help with?��


    ��Bob.��


    ?Purannai-O''Dell did not immediately answer Luo An''s question, but called the male secretary behind him, who immediately took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Luo An.


    Roan glanced at Pranay O''Dell, slowly opened the file, and found that inside was a certificate from a large foundation in Los Angeles that donated a sum of funds to their special investigation team.


    ?Purannai-O''Dell smiled slightly and said:


    ��I��m very grateful to Team Leader Greenwood for helping to find my daughter who likes to have a bad temper. These are my little thanks.��


    Looking at the US$1 million in the fund donation certificate, Luo An was immediately wary of the old fox in front of him, but the smile on his face remained:


    ��It is our FBI��s responsibility to protect the lives of federal taxpayers. Mr. O��Dell is too kind.��


    When the two secretaries, a man and a woman behind the wheelchair, heard this, they immediately cast strange looks at Luo An, as if they didn''t expect Luo An to be able to say such words.


    When Purannai O''Dell heard this, he cast an appreciative look at Luo An.


    It was not because what Luo An said made him happy, but because he did not expect that Luo An would be so thick-skinned at such a young age, which was really rare.


    ?Purannai-O''Dell thinks that when he was Luo An''s age, he was not as thick-skinned as Luo An.


    ??Seeing Luo An''s ordinary handsome face and his experience of becoming the deputy leader of the FBI investigation team at the age of 25, Pranay O''Dell subconsciously thought of recruiting Luo An.


    After a second thought, Pranay-O''Dell thought of something else and gave up the idea.


    After chatting with Luo An for a while, Pranay O''Dell finally stopped talking nonsense and stated his request:


    ��Leader Greenwood, I hope to take Lacosa home today.��


    The psychologist had almost finished chatting with Lexa O''Dell last night. She was just doing some sneaky things. During the period of contact with Spencer, she was just learning killing techniques. It was not time to practice them yet. There are no lives in it.


    ??Just pay a bail amount for stealing, which is really not worth mentioning to Pranay O''Dell.


    ??However, during the previous arrest, Lexa O''Dell had shot herself, so this matter cannot be forgotten like this.


    Luo An raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when the female secretary behind the wheelchair suddenly took out a folder from her briefcase and handed it to Luo An.


    ??Looking at Pranay O''Dell thoughtfully, Luo An took the folder and opened it. Inside was a certificate of ownership of the stocks of a well-known federal company.


    ?The shares are worth a combined $4 million and the owner''s name is Roan Greenwood.


    But Luo An was very sure that he had never bought this stock.


    Seeing Luo An��s expression unchanged, Pranay O��Dell nodded secretly in his heart, appreciating Luo An��s composure, and then asked with a smile:


    ��Leader Greenwood, I offer $4.916 million to buy this stock from you, what do you think?�� ��No problem.��


    Hearing what Purannai O''Dell said, Luo An agreed without hesitation for long.


    ??This money was obviously the money that Luan paid to put down Lexa O''Dell and shoot him.


    The extra 900,000 US dollars is the tax that Luo An needs to pay for selling stocks. The other party has even calculated the tax for Luo An and plans to pay it for him.


    ??Moreover, doing so was very much in compliance with federal laws. Luo An''s eyes moved slightly when he looked at Pranay O''Dell.


    Ginger is still old, and these federal "old money" are indeed extraordinary.


    ?Seeing Luo An nod in agreement, Puranai O''Dell chuckled, stretched out his hand towards Luo An and said with a smile:


    "When Team Leader Greenwood comes to Las Vegas for a trip in the future, he can call Bob. The O''Dell family will provide all necessary support to our family friends, and it will definitely make Team Leader Greenwood feel like Las Vegas." The beauty and joy of Garth.��


    ?Luo An stretched out his hand and shook it, and also smiled slightly:


    ��Then I��ll bother you when I get the chance.��


    ��Where where����


    The atmosphere in the conference room was very lively. Luo An and Pranay O''Dell chatted for a while again, and then asked Michelle to take the lawyer brought by Pranay O''Dell downstairs to handle Lacosa- O''Dell''s parole process.


    ?At 2:30 that afternoon, all the parole procedures related to Lexa O''Dell were completed, and Pranay O''Dell left the FBI Los Angeles branch building with more than a dozen bodyguards and her daughter.


    ��Tsk tsk tsk.��


    Looking at the huge motorcade downstairs, Luo An shook the 4 million US dollars after tax he got from selling the stocks in his hand, and clicked his tongue:


    ��There are five bullets in total, each bullet costs 800,000����


    At this moment, Lacey came over. She didn��t quite hear Luo An��s words and said doubtfully:


    "What did you say?"


    "nothing."


    ?Luo An shook his head, turned around and asked:


    ��Why are you looking for me?��


    "Mona has found out the information about the girl Janaya said. She asked you to go over and have a look."


    ��OK.��


    Hearing this, Luo An immediately walked to Mona:


    ��How about it, is what Janaya said true or false?��


    ��Sorry, it��s true.��


    ?Mona looked at the character information on the computer and sighed with a complicated expression.


    The name of the pregnant girl is Shanna. Her mother worked at the Sander-Gies home twenty years ago, and her job was to clean the rooms in the villa.


    ? Sander-Gies was 19 years old at the time. After the girl��s mother accused Sander-Gies of sexual harassment, Sander-Gies��s father bought her to shut up with $200,000.


    Dana was born when Sander-Ghis was 20 years old.


    To make sure nothing goes wrong, Mona also asked the Trace Inspection Section to dispose of Shan Na��s body. According to comparison, she and Sander-Ghis were indeed father and daughter.


    The connection between the child in Dana''s belly and Sander-Gieski is also very close.


    ������x3


    After reading this information, Lacey, Michelle and Mona looked ugly, and Luo An frowned slightly:


    ��An ethical tragedy.��


    The air in the office area became quiet for a moment. After a while, Luo An interrupted the somewhat solid air with a voice:


    ��How is the website we found from Janaya going?��


    ??Mona was shocked when she heard this and immediately started typing on the keyboard:


    ��I made a big discovery!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 339： Clues to the library theft case, reporting work

    Chapter 339 Clues to the library theft case, reporting work


    ?Federal law has always had a heavy emphasis on negotiation. If law enforcement officers want to obtain specific clues about the case, they must reach a certain agreement with the criminal within a reasonable range.


    On the contrary, if criminals want to reduce their charges and sentences, they must tell law enforcement officials useful clues that they do not yet know.


    ??Jiannaya is a former CIA agent and a killer in the underground world. She doesn''t know too many things and secrets, so Luo An and the others didn''t waste much time and quickly reached an agreement with her.


    After the agreement was reached, Michelle was responsible for recording the secrets narrated by Janaya, including the truth about many murders or other cases.


    ??Mona got the login password of the website from Janaya, successfully entered the website, and then...


    Eye-opener.


    As soon as Luo An sat down next to Mona, he saw a post about human trafficking:


    A young girl named Nicole, her hands were tied to an iron pole, and she was completely naked. Next to her stood a man wearing a mask. There was also an auction information below, "Female, 18 years old, no disease, starting bid of $200,000, free shipping to Europe..."


    There are not many such posts. Mona checked and found out that this website was established not long ago, and the review is strict, so the number of members on the website is not very large, just over 15,000.


    ??However, the types of crimes on the website and the areas involved are too many and too wide:


    ??The **** trade in Bangzipinba, telecommunications fraud in Gayaozibei, human trafficking in Southeast Asia, arms smuggling in the oil region, exclusive product trading in the Golden Triangle and Silver Triangle, and other piecemeal criminal live broadcasts...


    ?Luo An shook his head helplessly. It was only 2005, there were not many such websites, and these things were just the tip of the iceberg for the underground criminal world.


    After pondering for a while, Luo An asked:


    ��Mona, you just said you made a big discovery, what was it specifically?��


    ��Clues to the Los Angeles library theft the other day!��


    With an ugly expression on her face, Mona moved her eyes away from a **** post on the website. After typing on the keyboard a few times, a green post showing "Completed" appeared in front of Luo An''s eyes.


    ??The content of this post is very simple:


    ��I am in urgent need of some original copies of the books in the Los Angeles Central Library. If someone can take them out from the library, I am willing to pay a high price for them. The specific price can be discussed in detail via private message.��


    ����


    ?Luo An glanced at the name of the owner of this post and asked:


    ��Mona, how is the investigation of the theft investigation team No. 1 going?��


    ?Mona was slightly startled, she really didn��t know about this.


    "I know I know!"


    At this moment, Lacey next to her suddenly raised her hand and said with a smile:


    ��They found two suspects and took our FBI small plane yesterday to arrest people in other states of the federation.��


    The FBI in major cities in the federation has some private jets.


    But these private planes are not big. Except for the pilot, they can only seat up to six people in the cabin, and they are very crowded. Luo An doesn''t like it very much.


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An nodded, thought for a while, and did not immediately share this clue with Investigation Team No. 1. Instead, he asked Mona to briefly sort out the clues about this website and prepare to go to the team leader Potente Byrne later.


    Handling cases like criminal websites requires a lot of manpower and funds, and requires a long investment of time. It also requires frequent communication with other departments and even other countries. It is completely unsuitable for Luo An and his team''s current special investigation team of four people.


    Instead of taking the trouble of taking the lead yourself, it is better to just throw the case to the superiors and let them have the headache.


    ??Mona and Michelle began to sort out relevant content and documents. Luo An picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and found Lacey sitting in front of the computer, looking at the photo of the girl who committed suicide in a daze.


    ?Luo An patted Lacey''s arm and asked:


    ��Hey, how are you doing?��


    ��I just sympathize with her a little bit.��


    Hearing this, Lacey rolled her eyes at Luo An, then let out a long sigh, pointed to the information on the computer and explained:


    ��Information from the LAPD shows that Shan Na was not completely dead when the ambulance crew arrived, and the child in her belly also had a chance to survive, but Shan Na refused the ambulance crew��s help..."


    ��In addition to being resentful of Sander-Ghis and having an emotional breakdown, Shanna probably did this to ensure and force Janaya to take action.��


    ? Luo An pondered, narrowed his eyes and said:


    "Jiannaya said before that the money Shan Na gave her was only 30,000 US dollars. Normally, Jiannaya would not take on a task with such a small amount of money. But Shanna''s suicide method inspired Jianna, who was also a woman. Jian Na Ya��s resentment, so even if Shan Na dies, Jian Na Ya has completed the mission.��


    "Maybe."


    ?Lexi shrugged, Sander-Ghis, Dana, and Dana''s mother, the three parties involved have all died. What they were thinking at the time, maybe only God knows.


    Lacie picked up the coffee and took a sip, with a complicated look on her face:


    ��It��s like taking advantage of the **** the other side of the federation. Sander-Ghis��s worth of hundreds of millions belongs to her.


    ??If Shanna finds Sander-Ghis and explains her identity, then this matter may go another way. "


    ��But there is no if in this world.��


    Roan took the folder that Michelle sorted and handed to him, and then said:


    ��Besides, have you forgotten about the IRS people?��


    The federal government has a special tax called inheritance tax. The rate of this tax is determined based on the total amount of the estate. The tax rate table contains 12 tax brackets, with the lowest being 18% and the highest being 40%.


    ??As a billionaire, Sander-Gies�� inheritance tax rate is definitely the highest.


    So the "lucky" girl had to spend a huge sum of money before she could inherit everything in Sander-Ghis, which was not an easy task.


    In a previous life, a woman actually worked as a stepdaughter for a long time in order to inherit her father''s billions of property. Through this profession, she quickly earned the money she needed to pay in inheritance tax.


    ??When Luo An learned about this for the first time, he was very emotional. As expected, everyone is destined to come out. Unless he is chosen, he has no idea how big his potential is.


    Besides...this woman is ruthless enough.


    Soon, Mona also figured out the clues and content of the website. Roan took the files Michelle and she had compiled and went to the office of the team leader Potente Byrne.


    ��Good afternoon, sir.��


    ��Good afternoon, sit down.��


    Potente-Bourne took the document handed over by Luo An, glanced at it casually, and then his eyes suddenly froze.


    "This is��"


    ��A paradise for a group of criminals to party.��


    ?Luo An briefly described the contents of the murder of Sander Guise, as well as the situation of former CIA agent and current professional killer Janaya.


    ??Finally, he said that his special investigators were too small to deal with such a large-scale criminal website, so he came to add more burdens to the chief... Well, he came to the chief for help.


    ����


    Looking at Roan speechlessly, Potente-Bourne didn''t say anything more, just put the document aside:


    ��I will contact FBI Interpol to handle this case later.��


    Roan grinned and looked at Potente-Byrne as if he didn''t see it.


    The two chatted briefly for a while, and Potente-Byrne suddenly changed the topic to the Washington headquarters:


    ��Luo An, the Washington headquarters has begun to summarize the cases handled by your special investigation team during this period.��


    Luo An��s brows moved slightly when he heard this, and he asked with a smile:


    ��What do you mean, sir?��


    Potente-Byrne took a deep look at Roan, and then handed him a black folder.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 340： Conversation in supervisors office, investigation team office

    Chapter 340: Conversation in the supervisor��s office, chat in the investigation team��s office area


    FBI Los Angeles branch building, office of the team leader.


    Taken the folder handed over by Potente Byrne, inside was a notification order.


    It requires Luo An to arrive at the FBI headquarters in Washington on Monday half a month later to accept the headquarters'' evaluation and inspection.


    Roan''s eyes moved slightly, Potente-Bourn crossed his legs and asked quietly:


    ��Luo An, do you still remember the reason why the Washington Headquarters established ten of your special investigation teams in major cities across the federation?��


    "certainly."


    ?Luo An closed the folder and nodded.


    In 2005, the FBI''s internal structure of front-line case investigators was still somewhat complex and redundant. Cooperation with other law enforcement agencies was not very smooth, and incidents of holding each other back often occurred.


    The ten special investigation teams organized by Luo An and others are essentially a pilot plan developed by the Washington headquarters.


    ??The group at the Washington headquarters wanted to use the specific performance of these ten special investigation teams to study whether the streamlining plan can proceed smoothly and where help and improvement are needed.


    After recalling these things in his mind, Luo An''s mouth twitched. He seemed to have overlooked some small issues.


    Under his leadership, the special investigation team successfully solved several cases of various sizes, which gave the special investigation team and himself a good reputation.


    But the cooperation between their special investigation unit and other federal law enforcement agencies, except for the LAPD, others seem to...


    not many.


    Most of the time, Luo An asked Mona to go directly to those departments to find information, and the number of communications with those departments was very few.


    ?Seeing the embarrassed expression on Luo An''s face, Potente-Byrne was also speechless and didn''t know what to say.


    ??Roan had politely rejected Potente-Bourne''s recruitment before. Potente-Bourn had not taken any action to suppress Luan, or made some small moves to create obstacles for Luan and his special investigation team.


    On the one hand, it was because of the existence of Veranith, and on the other hand, Potente-Born was sure that Roan was a very good talent and he admired Roan very much.


    In the previous cases, Luo An''s performance, the FBI Los Angeles Branch''s senior officials all praised the deputy team leader of the special investigation team, Luo An Greenwood was extraordinary, his brains, and brave.


    ??Moreover, his words and deeds make the people above and below him comfortable, and he understands the operating rules of politics very well.


    From every aspect, Roan Greenwood is excellent.


    There are two fundamental reasons for the establishment of the special investigation team.


    In terms of handling cases, Luo An is very good and undisputed.


    In terms of cooperation and exchanges with other federal law enforcement agencies��


    ??The group of people at the Washington headquarters are used to sitting in offices, and when problems arise, it is their traditional craft for superiors to blame subordinates.


    ??If Luo An wants to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Washington to become a regular official and become the leader of the special investigation team, I''m afraid it won''t be easy.


    ��There are still two weeks until we go to Washington.��


    Potente-Bourne put down his legs, crossed his hands and looked at Luo An, and said seriously:


    ��During this period, the special investigation team will handle more suitable cases.��


    ��Okay, thank you, sir.��


    Roan understood what Potente-Byrne meant and nodded with a smile.


    ?Then he suddenly thought of something, pointed at the folder he had just brought to Potente-Byrne, and said with a smile:


    ��Sir, I suddenly remembered that our special investigation team has some other information about this website where criminals gather.


    While the detectives from other departments handle this case, let us help them solve the problem simply. "


    ?There is an opportunity in front of me to cooperate with other federal law enforcement agencies. I can''t hand it over in vain, let alone waste it.


    ?Seeing the difference in Luo An''s attitude towards criminal websites, Potente-Bourne had a lot of black marks on his head, but he didn''t say much and nodded in agreement.


    Leaving the team leader''s office, Luo An looked at the black folder in his hand, thought for a moment, took out his cell phone, and decided to call his long-legged patron in the distance.


    On the one hand, I finished another case and chatted with Veranith to connect with her.


    On the other hand, they are seeking off-site assistance to see if Veranith can get herself a copy of the situation and information of the other nine special investigation teams. Since the reason why Washington called them this time is for judgment and inspection, Luo An and the other nine heads of the special investigation team must be rivals, and may even compete with each other.


    ?In this case, it is necessary to first find out the details of the opponent.


    Know yourself and your enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle. This is the wisdom of thousands of years.


    The call was picked up quickly:


    ��This is Verenith.��


    ��Good afternoon, sir, I��m Luo An.��


    ?Luo An chuckled, exchanged a few simple greetings, and began to describe his experiences during this period.


    ����


    On the other side, the special investigation team, office area.


    The preliminary arrest work of [Hollywood Rich Man Shot Case] ??has been solved, and the next step is to handle the later case procedures and other aspects.


    ??Mona has two folders, Lacey has two folders, and Michelle has twelve folders. The three women are currently sitting at their desks busy.


    ? Mona and Lacey��s work was not particularly urgent. They poured some coffee for Michelle and got some snacks. The three women chatted while doing the work.


    ?Mona picked up a piece of potato chips and stuffed it into her mouth:


    ��Lessie, how is your beautiful landlady doing now?��


    In the previous case of teenage death, Lacey��s beautiful landlady was at a loss when she learned about her sister. Some Hollywood film companies stopped sending her interview notices.


    ��She took a break from Hollywood and went home to rest.��


    Lacie spread her hands and sighed:


    ��I will take care of the house for the time being, and I will live in such a big house alone...but I won��t go back to live there very often.��


    ??Mona has a deep understanding of Lacey''s living habits, and Michelle, who has not long joined the special investigation team, has also heard about it.


    After typing a line of text, Michelle shook her hands, picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, tilted her head and asked:


    ��Mona, has Roan ever had a situation where we would take a vacation after this case is over?��


    ��I never said that.��


    ?Mona shook her head and asked with a smile:


    ��What, you want to spend a few days at home reading again?��


    ��Yes.��


    Michelle was very emotional when thinking about her experience during this period after joining the special investigation team.


    ?While she was grateful and admired Roan Greenwood as the deputy team leader, Michelle prayed ten thousand times in her heart that the top management should never parachute a team leader over. It would be best if Luo An was directly promoted to the team leader.


    ?The three women then chatted about the case they were dealing with, and then the topic became more and more crooked for some reason. Finally, they started talking about other investigative teams and the LAPD, and the embarrassing and strange things they encountered while handling the case.


    At this moment, Luo An came back and saw three laughing women leaning back and forth, and asked in confusion:


    "What are you talking about?"


    ��A somewhat bizarre case.��


    Hearing this, Lacey smiled and explained:


    ��Some time ago, the LAPD caught a kidnapper who kidnapped 19 people.


    But the kidnapper neither harmed these people nor threatened them for money. Instead, he forced them to play Monopoly with him for 48 hours. "


    ��six.��


    Luo An was speechless. The Federation is vast and rich in resources, and has all kinds of talents.


    ??He always thought that there were more guys with weird brain circuits in a certain state in the southern part of the federation, but he didn''t expect that there were quite a few in Los Angeles.


    Clapping his hands to attract the attention of the three, Luo An handed them the document in his hand:


    ��Everyone, this is what we gained after handling this case.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 341： Inventory of harvest, Michelle’s attitude, dinner party

    Chapter 341 Taking stock of harvest, Michelle��s attitude, dinner


    ??Hearing Luo An''s words, the corner of Mona''s mouth raised slightly, and Lacey''s eyes immediately opened the folder.


    ?Michelle��s personality is relatively reserved, but she can open folders much faster than before.


    The contents of the folder were exactly the $1 million gifted to their special investigation team by a foundation under the father of the previous wealthy man from Las Vegas, Pranay O''Dell.


    There are currently four people in the special investigation team. Luo An also received a huge amount of additional funds, so the US$1 million was divided equally among the four people, with each person receiving US$250,000.


    ��I love you so much! Luo An!��


    Seeing the number 250,000, Lacey immediately jumped up on the spot, grabbed Luo An''s arm, and said with excitement on her face:


    ��Luo An, what do you want to eat for dinner today? I��ll buy it right now!��


    After saying this, Lacey glanced at Mona, who was immersed in the folder with her head down, her face slightly red, and then whispered in Roan''s ear:


    ��When I was investigating the case of the Hollywood billionaire being shot, I got the recipe you mentioned from Sander Guise��s lifetime in the hands of the red-haired life secretary... I will write it to you secretly later.��


    Luo An raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Who are you looking down on? What kind of things do I, a person with a strong body, a system and medicines, use?


    ??Glanced at Lacey fiercely, Luo An coughed lightly and whispered:


    ��Remember to put it in the drawer on the far left of my desk.��


    Nothing else, Luo An is just a little curious about the eating habits of billionaires and wants to gain more experience and learn something new.


    Mona, who knew Luo An''s strengths and weaknesses and Lacey''s personality preferences, ignored the two people who were chatting together. Instead, she found the calculator in the computer and began to seriously calculate how much she had gained during this period. .


    ��This time it��s US$250,000, as well as the overseas account, special case-handling funds, monthly salary and bonus...��


    ??Mona��s eyes became brighter and brighter, and she became addicted to the addition and subtraction of numbers.


    ? On the chair next to Mona, Michelle, who had just joined the Special Investigation Team but already had assets exceeding US$300,000, was breathing rapidly, her pupils were constricted, and her face was full of shock.


    ?On the one hand, he was shocked by the speed at which the special investigation team made money, and on the other hand, he was very shocked by Luo An''s generosity to his subordinates.


    When she worked in the Supervision Office, she was used to seeing some leaders take the eighth, ninth, or even tenth floor and only give their subordinates a bowl to lick the taste.


    What��s more, they didn��t even leave the bowl.


    Did the goose pluck its feathers?


    ?They didn��t pluck the geese at all and just left them alone.


    Compared with those insects, Luo An started to shine in Michelle''s eyes.


    Golden light!


    Silently making up her mind, Michelle decided to work for the Special Investigation Team to the end. Roan''s status in her heart rose several levels, just a little lower than the few books Michelle collected.


    ??Roan didn''t know what Michelle was thinking in her heart, but the "emotional perception" in his mind told him that Michelle''s attitude towards him had begun to develop in the direction of Lacey''s attitude towards him.


    ?In the "emotional perception" in Roan''s mind, Mona''s attitude towards him is almost like a blazing fire, and Lacey''s attitude towards him is almost equivalent to a lit torch.


    When Michelle first joined the Special Investigation Team, her attitude toward Luo An was mostly respect and admiration.


    After this period of cooperation and exchange, the flame belonging to Michelle, although small, has been ignited.


    This is also the reason why Luo An chose to split the money equally: Although he is not at the point where "I am not interested in money", he is not particularly short of this thank you money.


    ?Everyone in the world is interested in money. Luo An does like money, but he pays more attention to his teammates�� thoughts and attitudes towards him.


    A teammate who never lets up on the situation, never stabs you in the back, or even never abandons you at critical moments, is much more important than this money.


    After laughing with Lacey for a while, Luo An thought about it, looked at Michelle, and said:


    ��Let��s go out for a meal tonight, just as a welcome to Michelle to our special investigation team!�� Michelle stood up quickly after hearing this:


    ��Deputy leader Luo An, I...��


    "Ok, deal!"


    ??Roan waved his hand and without giving Michelle time to speak, he pulled Mona over who was still addicted to the arithmetic game and asked with a smile:


    ��Before Michelle came, what was the name of the restaurant the three of us went to that time?


    I remember that you left their phone numbers and quickly sent them a message to reserve a seat. If it was too late, you wouldn��t be able to get it..."


    "I know I know!"


    ???? Before Mona could say anything, Lacey raised her hand and came over:


    ��Leave it to me, I have the phone number of the female manager of the restaurant!��


    Luo An: ������


    When did you get this?


    ?Seeing the three people noisily together, Michelle, who was used to being alone, felt even more moved, and her eyes were slightly red.


    Seeing that Michelle��s torch in ��Emotional Perception�� was getting hotter and hotter, the corners of Luo An��s mouth raised slightly.


    8:30 pm, "CatchSX" restaurant on the west coast of Los Angeles.


    Because they had plenty of time and were in an excited mood today, Mona and Lacey simply dressed up. A set of casual outfits highlighted Mona''s excellent figure, and Lacey''s more neutral style was very heroic.


    What surprised the three of them was that Michelle also simply put on light makeup.


    The golden glasses on the bridge of her nose, coupled with her special temperament developed from years of reading, make Michelle even more eye-catching than usual.


    At least Lacey ran up quickly with a smile and took Michelle''s arm.


    ? Luo An was a little surprised by Michelle''s change. After making sure that the three of them had left nothing behind, Luo An took them to the location of the restaurant.


    ? Along the way, the foursome of Luo An, with the proud Mona on the left, the dashing Lacey on the right, and the knowledgeable Michelle, was extremely eye-catching.


    ?Coupled with Luo An''s handsome face and special temperament, many passers-by who had never seen Luo An''s face suspected that this was a rich boy from somewhere playing games.


    ?While passers-by turned back frequently, several journalists passing by also took a few photos.


    In the restaurant, Roan sat at the main seat, Mona sat on his left side, Lacey sat opposite Roan, and Michelle sat opposite Mona.


    ?? This is a restaurant specializing in seafood, and it takes a long time to serve the food. Not long after Lacey sat down, she disappeared with the restaurant manager. Michelle also went to the bathroom not long after.


    Not long after Michelle left, Mona came close to Roan and snorted in a low voice:


    ��How about it, the three of us are with you tonight, don��t you feel great?��


    Luo An immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this, as if he had done something.


    He has no interest at all in Michelle, who is older than him and of average stature.


    He is even less interested in Lacey, a guy who only likes women.


    ?But Luo An knew why Mona said this, it was just a woman��s petty temper and jealousy.


    Without arguing with Mona, Luo An gently held Mona''s little hand under the dining table, leaned over and kissed her lips gently, and soon made Mona happy with her words.


    After a while, Michelle came back. Roan and Mona let go of each other. When the waiter started serving the dishes, Lacey also sat back in her chair with the lipstick on her collar and a bottle of red wine given by the restaurant. .


    ������x3


    ??The three people at the dining table all rolled their eyes. Luo An swallowed the food in his mouth. Looking at Lacey who was devouring it as if she had been hungry for decades, he said helplessly:


    ��Lessie, after finishing this meal, you won��t have a second half, right?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 342： Lacey: This table is free!

    Chapter 342 Lacey: This table is free of charge!


    ? Los Angeles West Coast, CatchSX restaurant.


    At a square table deep in the restaurant, Luo An, Mona and Michelle enjoyed the food leisurely.


    ??Lacie was crazily stuffing food into her mouth like a starving ghost reincarnated.


    ??Luo An ordered two set meals for two tonight. Before all the dishes were served, Lacey picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth:


    ��I��ve eaten.��


    Upon seeing this, Luo An swallowed the food in his mouth and was about to speak. Lacey picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, smiling slightly and saying:


    ��By the way, if you are not full later, you can continue.


    ��There is an event in the restaurant today, and our table��s order has been waived. "


    Seeing Lacey with her hands on her hips and a proud look on her face, Michelle, who felt Lacey''s power for the first time, didn''t know what to say. Mona rolled her eyes and continued eating. Luo An was speechless and then raised his hands. Called the waiter:


    ��Hello, give me two more portions of the seafood barbecue set on the menu.��


    ������x2


    ?Seeing the waiter turn away, Mona rolled her eyes at Luo An. Michelle looked around, but still didn''t know what to say, so she had to lower her head and continue to enjoy the food.


    Lacey''s mouth twitched when she saw Luo An''s actions, but she didn''t panic. She had promised that she would be responsible for Luo An''s dinner tonight, so she would not break her promise.


    There are only two more set meals... Lacey tilted her head and looked at the beautiful manager of the restaurant not far from the hall. When she saw the other party looking at her, Lacey raised her eyebrows, turned to Luo An and the other three and said:


    ��I��ll leave first, call if I have something to do.��


    After saying that, without waiting for the three of them to reply, Lacey stood up and quickly left the chair.


    Not long after, the figure of the female manager wandering in the hall disappeared.


    Lacie left, and Michelle became even more taciturn. Seeing this, Roan started chatting with each other while eating.


    ��Michelle, last time I went to your home, I saw a lot of notes on your desk. What are your random thoughts or reflections when you were reading a book?��


    ��Only a small part of it is my random thoughts.��


    Michelle swallowed the crab meat in her mouth and explained:


    ��Actually, most of those notes were taken down when I was reading a book and I just jotted down whatever I thought was interesting. The content is very miscellaneous and includes everything.��


    ��Can you give me an example?��


    ��Of course, do you know who Napoleon��s favorite woman was����


    When talking about books, Michelle slowly started to talk more.


    Roan and Mona also discovered during this period that Michelle was basically a humanoid database.


    Michelle is most interested in stories that have happened in the world. She also likes to figure out the reasons behind the stories, the thoughts of the characters in the stories, or the origins of the items, so she knows a lot of weird, unpopular and unpopular things. Knowledge.


    As he spoke, seeing Luo An and Mona looking at him intensely, Michelle��s voice gradually became quieter:


    ��Is there something wrong with me?��


    ��No.��


    Hearing this, Lacey shook her head repeatedly:


    ��We were just a little surprised.��


    ??Roan nodded in agreement with Mona''s words. He had already seen that Michelle was definitely a highly intelligent person and understood the relationship between trade-offs.


    While she has her own hobbies (reading books) and life goals (reading a million books before she dies and building her own library), she also understands the importance of money in achieving her goals, so she will suppress her innermost feelings. Not happy, go out to work to make money, and use the money earned to enrich your hobbies.


    ?Picking up the red wine that Lacey brought, Luo An poured it into the wine glasses of the three people on the table, and then said with a smile:


    ��Michelle, although you are a little late, welcome to the Special Investigation Team.


    Here you will have the opportunity to achieve your life goals. "


    With a smile on her face, Michelle picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Luo An and Mona:


    ��Thank you, I have no doubts about it.


    cheers. "


    "cheers!"???The new seafood barbecue set was served to the table not long after. Mona and Michelle, who had little appetite, only tasted a small amount, and Luan stuffed the rest into their stomachs, which attracted their attention. Many people looked sideways.


    Since Lacey didn��t know where she ran, Roan and Mona drove Michelle back to her rental house before returning to their home.


    Opening the door of the rental house, Mona kicked her high heels aside and asked as she walked:


    ��Luo An, you have eaten too much tonight, would you like to get something to help with digestion?��


    ??Luo An closed the door, walked quickly behind Mona, lifted her on his shoulders and walked towards the bedroom, grinning and saying:


    ��Eating is digested too slowly, exercise is more helpful for digestion!��


    ��Hey! My bedroom hasn��t been tidied up yet!��


    ��Then don��t go to the bedroom, the living room is also good!��


    "you��"


    ����


    In the following week, the Special Investigation Team did not receive any new cases and had been dealing with the [Hollywood rich man shot case] and the situation on the criminal website.


    ??The Rich Man case is not complicated. The two killers are in jail awaiting trial. Michelle Lacey and Mona are writing case reports and records. Luo An is sitting in the team leader''s office and reviewing the funds for their special investigation team.


    ? Firearms, ammunition, and occasional repair costs for the two SUVs were the bulk of the case-handling funds, and other expenses were not much.


    Unlike other investigation teams, there are informant fees, undercover fees, compensation for public property losses, etc. every month.


    After calculating the expenses of the special investigation team last month and writing the report, Luo An, who had nothing to do, crossed his legs and put them on the table, took out his mobile phone and started playing the cube game.


    In 2005, there were a lot of mobile games in the Federation, including puzzle fighting and other types of games, but Luo An was not interested in them. He liked simple games like cubes that did not require much use of the brain.


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    ?At this moment, Mona knocked on the office door a few times and walked in.


    Luo An didn��t even raise his head:


    "had lunch?"


    ��No, it��s time for midnight snack.��


    ?Seeing the sun outside the window, which had not yet come out for a long time, Mona handed the folder to Luo An speechlessly:


    ��A document from New York was sent to me by the team leader Veranith, requiring me to keep it confidential and hand it over to you alone.��


    ��A document from Verenis?��


    ?Hearing Mona''s words, Luo An immediately put away his legs on the table, threw the phone aside, took the folder and began to look at it carefully.


    ??Just as Luo An thought, the contents of the folder were the basic information about the other nine special investigation team members he had asked Verinis for help.


    Including their personnel composition, team leader status, work experience, cases handled during this period and case handling process and other information. It is not particularly detailed, but the general framework is not lacking.


    ??Mona briefly glanced at the document while receiving it. Seeing the serious expression on Luo An''s face, she suddenly asked in a deep voice:


    ��Luo An, is there any particularly big case that requires us to cooperate with other special investigation teams?��


    ��What? No.��


    Roan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and explained what Potente Byrne, the team leader, had said before, that he needed to go to the Washington headquarters on Monday next week.


    ??Mona��s eyes gradually brightened when she heard Luo An��s explanation:


    ��When you go to Washington this time, do you have a chance to be promoted to the leader of our special investigation?��


    "Maybe."


    Roan replied casually that he was not in a hurry since Verenis and Mr. Clement were here.


    At this moment, the door of the team leader��s office was knocked again, and Lacey stuck her head in:


    ��Luo An, someone is looking for you.��

 Chapter 343： Library theft case, meeting

    Chapter 343: Library theft case, meeting


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ??The person who came to see Luo An was none other than Lewis, the leader of the No. 1 investigation team responsible for the library theft case.


    ??Lewis is a middle-aged white man who seems to be very affable. Because the former leader of the No. 2 Investigation Team Irving, Luo An and Lewis had a good relationship, and they also drank together after get off work.


    ??Seeing Luo An walking out of the team leader''s office, Lewis laughed suddenly, walked over quickly and gave Luo An a big hug:


    ��Luo An, thank you so much this time!��


    Luo An, who didn��t like being hugged by men, grinned and pushed Lewis away, pulled him into the team leader��s office, and asked with a smile:


    ��What, the library case is solved?��


    "Roughly the same."


    Sitting on the chair opposite Luo An, Lewis smiled and briefly described the case.


    ?After receiving the theft case from the Los Angeles library, Lewis began to lead his men to carefully search for clues. After a few days, he finally found a suspicious car that had left Los Angeles.


    After confirming the driver''s identity and the other party''s suspicion, Lewis took his men to other states to arrest him, but encountered a lot of trouble.


    The suspect''s resistance was just a trivial matter. The key point was that after Lewis and the others successfully arrested several suspects, they did not find the stolen books or key evidence.


    ��Thanks to your special investigation team for finding that website.��


    Lewis looked at Luo An with a red face. If they hadn''t known about this website, the agents of their No. 1 investigation team would not have cared about the suspected boss who deliberately hid it in a pile of discarded mobile phones, wires, and computers. If you wait for the small card in the parts, you will get the key evidence of the suspect''s boss'' theft.


    After saying these things, Lewis also took out a small box of tea from the East and put it on Luo An''s table to express his gratitude.


    "Too polite."


    ?Luo An took the tea and smiled, then asked:


    ��Then have you found the guy who ordered this group of suspects to steal books from the Los Angeles library?��


    "not yet."


    Lewis shook his head. According to the plan discussed in advance, after the suspects stole the books, they directly placed the books in a pothole under a stone beside a road in southern Los Angeles. They had no idea what was going on behind the order. Who is the person.


    ��But we have found the lost book under that stone.��


    ?Lewis chuckled and said calmly:


    ��The man behind the order can be investigated slowly, and he will always be found.��


    ��Have you found the stolen books?��


    ?Luo An tilted his head and was confused. He didn''t quite understand why the guy who placed the order didn''t take away the books after paying for them.


    ?Meet something unexpectedly? Or have you discovered the investigation of Investigation Team No. 1?


    Luo An, who was confused, simply stopped thinking. Anyway, the book was found, the gang of thieves were caught, and the investigation team No. 1 was responsible for the follow-up. There was no need for him to waste his thoughts on the magical brain circuits of the people behind the scenes.


    I agreed with Lewis to drink together today, and Luo An talked with the other party for a while. Lewis, who had a lot of work on hand, got up and left Luo An''s office.


    ��BaekhoSilverNeedle��


    Sitting on the chair, Luo An looked at the English letters on the small tea box with confusion on his face. He opened the small box and saw clearly the shape of the tea inside, and then suddenly realized:


    ��It��s actually a silver needle.��


    Putting away the tea leaves for the time being, Luo An stood up and walked out of the office. He looked at Mona, Lacey and Michelle and smiled:


    ��Guys, I��m going to the Washington headquarters on Monday next week, and it��s expected to take a few days.


    Our special investigation team is on temporary vacation for a few days. Do you want to travel to Washington? "


    ??Mona''s eyes lit up when she heard this and she nodded repeatedly. She wanted to know the news of Luo An''s permanent job as soon as possible.


    Michelle, who only wanted to read in her free time, shook her head and refused. Lacey raised her hand and asked with a smile:


    ��If I travel to Washington, will the expenses be reimbursed?��


    Luo An grinned:


    ��0.1% can be reimbursed��


    Lexi''s whole body suddenly changed, and she suddenly lost interest in traveling or anything like that.


    She originally wanted to see the customs and customs of female government workers in Washington, DC.


    Since Luo An won��t reimburse, there��s no need to go. The girls in Los Angeles are more enthusiastic.


    ��By the way, Deputy Team Leader Luo An.��


    At this moment, Michelle handed a few pieces of paper to Luo An and said:


    ��This is the inside story of several murder cases confessed by the killer Jian Naya in order to reduce her sentence.


    Two of the cases have remained unsolved in two other states of the federation. You see..."


    ��Wow, a serial murder that killed six people, an arson that destroyed a building.��


    ?Luo An took the paper and raised his eyebrows. He briefly read the inside story of the case, thought about it, returned the paper to Michelle, and said:


    ��Contact the FBI in those states and briefly explain the case to them.


    By the way, don��t forget what I taught you a few days ago. "


    ?Before the operation to arrest the killer Jianaya, Luo An carefully taught Michelle the essence of case handling by their special investigation team:


    You can eat whatever you want, as long as you don��t suffer any loss; if you want to take something from me, you must leave something behind.


    Michelle looked slightly embarrassed when she heard this. This was her first time taking on such a task, but she agreed without hesitation:


    ����No problem, Deputy Team Leader Luo An, I will do a good job in this task.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, then patted Lacey on the shoulder:


    ��If Michelle is in trouble, help her.��


    ��OK.��


    Lacie smiled, she liked bargaining for benefits the most.


    ??There is also the matter of the killer website. Team leader Potente Byrne has begun to contact other departments within the FBI. As the primary discoverer of clues, Luo An must participate in many case discussion meetings.


    That afternoon, another complicated meeting ended. After everyone left, Luo An, who was sitting on the chair with aches all over his body, walked out of the meeting room with a speechless face and stretched his waist vigorously.


    ?Joint operations are the same no matter where they are. The first thing to discuss during the meeting is not what the clues are and what to do next, but how to divide the pot and how to get the benefits.


    ��Fortunately, the special investigation team is only responsible for investigating information and is not responsible for taking the lead in handling cases.��


    ?Thinking of the noisy scene in the meeting, Luo An shook his head repeatedly. For a moment, he suddenly didn''t want to change his mind.


    ��If I become a full-time employee, let��s see if I can get a smart deputy team leader to attend this kind of meeting for me����


    ?Walking in the direction of the special investigation team with random thoughts in his mind, Luo An turned a corner and a voice suddenly stopped him:


    ��Luo An! Wait a minute!��


    ?Hurrying to a stop, Luo An looked back and saw that it was Potente Byrne, the team leader.


    ?Potent-Bourne''s face didn''t look very good at this time, obviously because of the bargaining behavior of the shameless guys at the meeting just now.


    ��Good afternoon, sir.��


    ?Luo An chuckled. Anyway, his special investigation team was not the main person in charge of the case, so it was not his turn to have a headache.


    "Um."


    Potente-Bourne hurriedly walked to Luo An, handed him a folder, and said:


    ��It��s a small case. Your special investigation team happens to have no case at hand, so let��s deal with this matter first.��


    Thinking that there were still seven days before he left for Washington, Luo An opened the folder and found that it was a disappearance case.


    ? Luo An: "...the disappearance case is a small case?"

 Chapter 344： [The case of a six-year-old girl missing from her home in the villa area]

    Chapter 344 [The case of a six-year-old girl missing from her home in the villa area]


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    Pushing open the office door, Luo An shook the folder in his hand:


    ��Everyone, Team Director Potente Byrne has sent us a new gift.��


    "Wow."


    ?Mona expressed her surprise expression expressionlessly. Michelle did not speak. Lacey put down the coffee cup in her hand, raised her head and asked:


    ��What type of gift is it?��


    ��The one that parents all over the world fear the most.��


    ? Luo An handed the folder to Mona:


    ��A few hours ago, a 6-year-old girl disappeared from her home.��


    Lacie frowned when she heard this:


    ��Doesn��t look like a human trafficker.��


    Human traffickers rarely go to other people��s homes to steal children.


    ��Maybe it��s kidnapping for ransom.��


    ??Roan patted Michelle on the arm and motioned for her and Mona to stay in the office to check the surveillance near the place where the child disappeared, as well as the information about the parents of the missing child.


    ��Lacie, come with me to see the scene.��


    "no problem!"


    Eastern Los Angeles, a certain villa area.


    ??A white bald police chief took Luo An and Lacey into the villa and said as they walked:


    ��The intruder broke into the villa three hours ago, at around 2:20 p.m.��


    ��A very cozy villa...but a very scary story.��


    Luo An glanced around at the layout and decoration of the villa and asked:


    ��Where did the intruder come in?��


    "back door."


    ??The bald sergeant led the two men towards the back door of the villa. At this time, the back door glass was broken near the door handle.


    ?It is not difficult to see how the intruder entered the villa by breaking the glass, reaching inside and unscrewing the back door.


    ��OK.��


    Luo An walked forward and looked at the broken glass carefully. Lacey thought for a while and asked:


    ��Does this villa have an alarm system?��


    ��Indeed, it does, but unfortunately, it has no effect.��


    ??The bald sergeant took Lacey to the second floor of the villa. At the stairwell of the second floor, Lacey saw the body of a chubby white woman.


    ��Samira Lee, 45 years old, is the family��s full-time nanny and has worked for the family for eight years.


    ?Perhaps due to negligence or other reasons, the alarm system of the villa was not turned on. "


    Lacey bent down and looked at the body of a woman with a bullet hole in her forehead on the floor, her expression was not very good:


    ��So, the intruder entered through the back door of the villa, went upstairs with a gun, killed the nanny, and then took away the child?��


    ��Yeah.��


    ??The bald sergeant nodded, led Lacey into the little girl''s small room, pointed to a toy clock in the corner and said:


    ��This is a monitor. The child��s mother was shopping outside when the incident occurred. During the break, the child��s mother wanted to check on her daughter, but found that her daughter was not in the room, and no one answered the call to the nanny.


    ?The mother of the child immediately called her neighbor for help because she was worried, and then the neighbor called the police. "


    ��One will leave a psychological shadow on people.��


    Seeing the pink bedroom full of childlike innocence and warmth, Lacey frowned and pointed at the monitor:


    ��Is there a video of this thing?��


    ??The bald sergeant spread his hands and said helplessly:


    ��No, it��s just real-time monitoring, no video recording.��


    ��This is really bad news.��


    On the other side, downstairs of the villa, Luo An waved his hand and called an agent from the Trace Inspection Section:


    ��Check the glass to see if there are any blood or other traces. Also, check the door handles to see if there are any fingerprints from the intruder.��


    The Trace Inspection Section detective nodded repeatedly:


    "sure no problem."


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Leaving the back door and walking towards the living room of the villa, a female LAPD was sitting on the sofa, whispering to comfort a middle-aged white woman with long burgundy hair who was sobbing softly.


    ??This woman is the mother of the missing little girl, Madalyn Allen. Seeing Luo An arrive, the female LAPD smiled at him and then left the living room of the villa.


    ?Seeing Luo An��s FBI identity, Madalin immediately leaned forward and grabbed Luo An��s arm, and said excitedly:


    "How is it? Did you find my daughter? Did you find any clues? Oh, god..."


    "I''m sorry about your daughter, but please believe me, Ms. Allen, we will do our best to help find your daughter."


    Hush to soothe Madalyn - Allen sat back on the sofa. Seeing Lacey arriving and taking out a small notebook, Roan began to ask:


    "Ms. Allen, we didn''t see men''s daily necessities in the villa. Are you and your daughter the only people living in this villa? Where is the father of the child?"


    ��I divorced him and we separated peacefully.��


    ?Madalene Allen explained while wiping away tears:


    ��He works in another state of the Union and has his new girlfriend.


    I just called him and he is on his way back by plane. "


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he continued to ask:


    "Have you had any quarrels over your children recently? Is it possible that it was him..."


    ��No, absolutely impossible.��


    ?Madalene Allen shook her head repeatedly:


    ��Our relationship has always been very good. The divorce was only due to work issues, and we are still good friends now.


    ??And John is a good person, he is good to Carla and he is also good to Samira. He will never do such a thing. "


    John is the name of her ex-husband, and Cara is the name of Madalyn Allen''s lost daughter.


    Lacie next to her was silent for a few seconds and asked:


    "Have you had any conflicts with anyone recently? Can you think of someone who would steal your daughter?"


    ��I have been working in a securities company, and there are only minor workplace conflicts between me and my colleagues, and they will never escalate to the level of family members.��


    As he spoke, Madalyn Allen became excited again:


    ��Oh, God, I never thought this would happen to me����


    Upon seeing this, Lacey quickly pulled out a piece of toilet paper and comforted the other party in a low voice.


    After Madalyn Allen''s mood gradually stabilized, Luo An said:


    ��In order to find you Carla as soon as possible, we need a copy of her DNA, so we need to take away some of her toothbrushes, combs, hair, etc.


    By the way, we also need to monitor your mobile phone and the landline at your home. If the other party calls you to extort money..."


    ��No problem, no problem, it��s all okay.��


    ?Madalene Allen nodded repeatedly:


    ��As long as you can find my daughter, you can do anything.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Lacie continued to calm Madalyn Allen''s emotions, and Luo An and the agents from the Trace Inspection Section greeted them twice and asked them to install surveillance equipment.


    When everyone started to get busy, Luo An walked to the corner, took out his cell phone and called Mona:


    ��How��s it going, Mona, how are you doing with the surveillance in the nearby areas?��


    ��Unfortunately, there are no clues.��


    Michelle in the office area shook her head and said:


    ��No suspicious vehicles were found in the surveillance.��


    ��Michelle, go ahead and check the list of sexual assault offenders in the nearby area.��


    Luo An��s expression did not change:


    ��Where are Kara��s parents? Is there anything unusual about their information?��


    ��Cara��s mother, Madalyn Allen, is a manager at a securities company in Los Angeles.


    ?Cara��s father, John Rodriguez, is a partner in a chemical company in Ohio.


    ??Both people are in good financial condition, and there is nothing unusual in the call records. "


    ��A very wealthy couple.��


    ??Luo An looked at the time and found that four hours had passed since Carla disappeared. He thought about it and said:


    ��Let��s monitor Madalyn Allen��s cell phone and phone number first. If the robber is after money, we must get the news as soon as possible.��


    "no problem."

 Chapter 345： Poisonous insect, the fingerprint of the third person

    Chapter 345: Poisonous Insect, Fingerprint of the Third Person


    Three hours later, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    ��Luo An, the test report of the bullet that killed the nanny Samira at the crime scene has come out.��


    Lacie opened the door and walked into the office area, threw the folder aside and said helplessly:


    ��The most common 9mm bullet on the market, but there is no matching result within the FBI system. This is a new gun.��


    ��Very good, a useless clue has been eliminated.��


    Roan handed Lacey a cup of coffee and turned to look at Mona and Michelle:


    ��How is the investigation going on here?��


    ��We have checked all the people with sexual assault records near the crime scene.��


    Michelle shook her head:


    ��That area is a wealthy area, and there are not many such people. They all had alibi when the crime occurred.��


    Luo An picked up the tea cup and took a sip:


    ��Very good, we have eliminated another useless clue.��


    Lacey, who was sitting on the chair, was speechless when she heard this:


    ��But the key problem is that we haven��t found a useful clue so far.��


    ��No, now there is a useful clue.��


    ??? Before Luo An could speak, Mona next to her suddenly raised her hand:


    ��The Trace Inspection Section found the fingerprints of a third person besides Madalyn Allen and the nanny Samira on the back door handle.��


    Luo An and Lacey immediately came over:


    "who is it?"


    ��Dagny Moses.��


    ??Mona tapped her fingers on the keyboard and called up a skinny white woman with a gloomy face:


    ��She is the cousin of the nanny Samira. She went to jail for theft a few months ago and stole jewelry from Madalyn Allen��s house.��


    ��A female thief.��


    ?Luo An glanced at the faces in the photo and asked:


    ��Does this woman have a criminal record?��


    ��Yes, and quite a few.��


    ??Mona transferred the other party��s criminal record to the computer desktop:


    ��One count of illegal possession of a gun, several counts of intentional injury, multiple counts of theft, possession of unique items, trafficking in unique items and many other charges.��


    Looking at the acne on Dagny Mothers''s face and a lot of marks on her arms in the latest photo taken in prison, Lacey had a look of disgust on her face:


    ��Looks like another poisonous insect.��


    Polly, the drug addict who sold her son for drug money and didn''t care whether her son died or not, really left a deep impression on them. (Chapter 256)


    ��If you really have no money to buy flour, kidnapping the daughter of your cousin��s employer is indeed a good way.��


    ?Luo An drank the remaining tea in the cup in one gulp and asked:


    ��Do you know where this imprisoned lady is now?��


    "certainly."


    Mona calls up an address:


    ��This is the home of an aunt of the nanny Samira. Her aunt is almost eighty this year.


    ??This old man is also Dagny Moses'' aunt, and she spends most of her time eating and sleeping there. "


    ��Lacie, contact SWAT.��


    Luo An didn��t waste any time and immediately stood up and walked to the equipment room:


    ��Let them send a small team to go with us to the old lady��s house to get rid of the bugs.��


    "no problem!"


    ??Lacie raised her hand to make an "OK" gesture, and immediately took out her mobile phone and made a call.


    ����


    South Los Angeles, outside a red-brown bungalow in an ordinary community.


    An ordinary black car slowly parked at the door of the neighbor''s house diagonally opposite the bungalow.


    ?A moment later, the car window slowly rolled down, and a black gun muzzle protruded from the car, aiming directly at the reddish-brown bungalow.


    ?The SWAT team member, eyes fixed on the sniper scope, turned on the communicator and whispered:


    ��Arrived at the designated location, please give instructions.��


    ��Received, please stand by.��


    ??In a black personnel carrier at the back door of a reddish-brown bungalow, Luo An turned off the communicator, looked up at the other SWAT team members in the car, and said seriously:


    "Everyone, we must reduce the noise during this operation. If the suspect notices something abnormal, she is very likely to harm the child. In addition, our main target is the child, so we must control the suspect as soon as possible. , we can��t give her a chance to have contact with the child, okay?��


    "clear!"


    Lacie and all the SWAT team members nodded in unison and agreed.


    The Federation is a very two-faced country. On the one hand, it attaches great importance to the rights of children and regards them as little angels who have fallen into the mortal world. On the other hand, the crimes against children in the Federation are also among the highest in the world. ��


    At this moment, the contact group on Luo An suddenly sounded, and the sniper in the car said:


    ��I saw the target person, Dagny Moses, in the front room of the house with an old woman.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An stopped talking nonsense, took out the Glock 18, turned on the safety, and said coldly:


    "start to act!"


    As soon as the voice fell, the SWAT team members immediately divided into two teams, following Luo An and Lacey respectively as they slowly approached the reddish-brown bungalow.


    The two teams gradually approached the red-brown bungalow, one on the left and the other on the right. The team led by Lacey bent down and gradually stopped at a bedroom in the bungalow.


    ?A SWAT team member stepped forward, slowly looked at the scene in the bedroom, and whispered:


    ��The room is empty.��


    Lacie has no nonsense:


    ��Enter now!��


    On the other side, Luo An led several SWAT team members to the back door of the bungalow. A SWAT team member immediately stepped forward and quietly opened the back door.


    ?At this moment, the sniper��s voice suddenly sounded from the communicator:


    ��Everyone, Dagny Moses started to leave the living room and went to the kitchen.��


    Hearing this, Lacey immediately led the SWAT team members to rush into the house and suddenly appeared in front of Dagny Moses:


    ��Don��t move! Put your hands up!��


    The sudden appearance of Lacey and the two SWAT members startled Dagny Moses. After subconsciously raising her hands, Dagny Moses suddenly pushed the old woman next to her towards Lacey and the others. After passing by, he turned around and ran away.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ?Lacie and a SWAT team member quickly reached out to catch the old woman, and another SWAT team member quickly chased after her with a gun.


    ?The direction in which Dagny Moses escaped was not the front and back doors of the house, but another bedroom not far away.


    But as soon as she ran to the bedroom door, Roan suddenly appeared around the corner, kicked Dagny Moses in the waist.


    score


    Dagny Moses lay down on the ground without reacting at all. When she raised her head with her hands on her waist and her face full of pain, a SWAT team member behind Luo An had already taken out the handcuffs and pulled Dagny Moses out. His hands were cuffed.


    ��Better eat! Shit! You guys*#%������


    ??Selectively ignoring the curse words that popped out of Dagny Moses'' mouth, Luoan walked into the bedroom and did a simple search. He didn''t find the little girl, but only found two small bags of flour and a few bags of leaves.


    ?Luo An nodded with understanding. It seemed that Dagny Moses didn''t want to escape just now, but wanted to throw these things into the toilet and destroy them.


    On the other side, Lacey led the remaining SWATs to quickly check every room in the house, and soon her face became very ugly.


    Because they only found a 9mm pistol in the basement, and did not find the little girl Carla.


    ����


    ??The ninth hour of Carla��s disappearance, the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    ��The 9 mm pistol found has been sent to the Trace Inspection Department for testing, and the results will be available soon.��


    ??Lacie opened the door and walked into the investigation team''s office area. Seeing that Mona was the only one in the office area, she pointed to the interrogation room next to her:


    ��Roan and Michelle have already started interrogating?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Mona glanced at the time:


    ��Just been in for five minutes.��


    Lacie glanced at the interrogation room and didn''t know what she was thinking.


    At this time, a woman''s somewhat wanton laughter suddenly sounded in the interrogation room.

 Chapter 346： Kara’s father’s disposable cell phone and concealment

    Chapter 346 Kara��s father��s disposable cell phone and concealment


    Special Investigation Team, interrogation room.


    Dagny Moses, who was thin and skinny, with many sores on her arms and face, sat on a chair and looked at Roan and Michelle across the interrogation table with an indifferent expression.


    ��Looking at the acne on your body, you must have been eating flour for a long time.��


    ?Seeing that Michelle was ready, Luo An crossed his legs and asked with a smile:


    ��Just now we found two packets of methamphetamine and two packets of leaves that you had hidden in your aunt��s house. It seems you can go to jail again to recuperate.��


    "I do not know what you''re talking about."


    Dagny Moses yawned:


    ��Those things are not mine.��


    ��It��s not yours. Could it be your 79-year-old aunt��s?��


    Luo An was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with her and asked directly:


    ��Tell me, where did you take Carla?��


    ��Cara? Who is Kara?��


    ?Dagny Moses was full of doubts when she heard this. Seeing the photo that Michelle threw to her, Dagny Moses suddenly realized it, then raised her head and laughed wildly:


    ��What do you FBI guys do? What��s the use of catching this kid?��


    Luo An placed the photo of her cousin��s death scene in front of her and said coldly:


    ��But you went to Carla��s villa today.��


    Seeing the tragic situation in the photo, the smile on Dagny Moses'' face disappeared instantly, and she asked in a solemn voice:


    ��Is this my cousin?��


    ��What do you think?��


    ?Luo An stood up and sat on the interrogation table, and asked condescendingly:


    ��Why did you kill her?��


    int


    Dagny Moses shook her head repeatedly:


    ��I definitely didn��t do this, okay? I went to see my cousin today just to borrow money from her.��


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��Borrow money?��


    ��Well, okay, actually I want money.��


    ? Dagny Moses shrugged and said that her cousin��s employer would give her a large amount of money to buy ingredients every month, and her cousin would always have a lot of money left over.


    ?After Dagny Moses learned about this, she had a reason to threaten her cousin, so she went to her cousin every once in a while to ask for money.


    Dagny Moses spread her hands:


    ��I thought I could keep this secret for the rest of my life, but I didn��t expect it to end today.��


    ?Michelle glanced at Dagny Moses calmly, her eyes full of contempt. Roan''s eyes moved slightly and continued to ask:


    ��When did you go to Kara��s house today?��


    ��Around one-thirty in the afternoon.��


    ��When did you leave?��


    ��It��s about two o��clock.��


    ��When you left, did you see anyone nearby?��


    ��No.��


    Speaking of this, Dagny Mother paused for a moment, and then said:


    ��But I saw a black Buick sedan.


    I originally wanted to see if there was anything in the car that the owner didn��t want that I could take away, but the car suddenly drove away. "


    ��Black Buick?��


    ?Michelle was shocked, and Luo An crossed his arms over his chest:


    ��Did you see the license plate number?��


    ��I only remember the last three numbers.��


    ����


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ��Lacie, please send this Ms. Dagny Moses to the temporary detention location later.��


    ??Out of the interrogation room, Roan handed the interrogation record to Mona and was about to ask Mona to check the license plate number Dagny Moses confessed. At this time, Lacey suddenly raised her hand and said:


    ��Roan, Kara��s father has arrived in Los Angeles.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An nodded, and Lacey continued:


    ��But there seems to be something wrong with Mr. John.��


    "Um?"


    Luo An was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly walked to Lacey and asked:


    ��What��s going on?�� ��John called Carla��s mother Ellen as soon as he got off the plane.��


    ? Lacey opened the monitoring and other equipment previously set up for Allen on the table and said:


    ��I thought this phone call was just an ordinary call to report safety, but John��s words turned out to be very interesting.��


    ?Luo An didn��t speak, and Michelle also listened carefully to the sounds in the surveillance equipment.


    ?The first is the voice of Kara��s mother, Madalyn:


    ��Thank God you finally made it to Los Angeles.��


    John on the other end of the phone sounded very calm:


    ��The FBI is already here, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ��Okay, don��t panic, Carla will definitely be fine.��


    ��What? You?��


    ??Madalene wanted to ask carefully, but suddenly realized something and immediately stopped the topic and asked John about how long it would take to get home from the airport and other information.


    "Wow."


    ?Luo An sat down on the chair and raised his eyebrows:


    ��It seems that our Mr. John knows something that we don��t know.��


    Michelle nodded:


    ��And Ms. Madalyn also has something to hide from us.��


    ��You two, I��ve discovered something here.��


    At this moment, Mona raised her hand, pointed at her computer and said:


    ��I just checked John��s itinerary and found that before he flew to Los Angeles, he bought a disposable mobile phone in a store near the Ohio airport.


    ?According to positioning, this phone is currently on John''s possession. "


    ��The daughter disappeared, the mother asked the FBI for help, but the father bought a burner phone and told the mother not to be afraid... This thing is getting more and more interesting.��


    Luo An became more energetic. After thinking about it, he asked:


    ��Can we find out who John has contacted using this burner phone?��


    ��Can��t find it.��


    ?Mona shook her head and said:


    ��Disposable mobile phones are all encrypted. I can only check that John did use it to make outgoing calls.��


    ?Luo An continued to ask:


    ��Can you find out the phone number of this burner phone?��


    ?Seeing Mona nod, Luo An said directly without hesitation:


    ��Lacie, call John now, but don��t talk.��


    ��OK.��


    ??? Lacey immediately understood what Luo An was thinking, picked up a private landline phone on the table of the Special Investigation Team and called John.


    ?The phone soon beeped, waiting to be answered, and both Mona and Michelle moved their chairs to be next to Lacey.


    Soon, the other end of the phone was connected. Luo An and the four of them looked at each other, and they all raised a finger and put it in front of their mouths.


    ��Hello?��


    Mr. John��s male voice came from the other end of the phone. He suppressed his anger and said coldly:


    ��I know you��re listening.


    Listen, I''ll get to you on time, but you have to make sure my daughter doesn''t get hurt at all.


    If there are wounds on her body, believe me, I will definitely make you regret coming into this world!


    Did you hear what I said? Did you hear that? ! "


    Lacie hung up the phone directly.


    ?Mona and Michelle looked at each other, and Lacey looked up at them, her eyes full of surprise:


    ��So John actually knows who kidnapped his daughter?��


    "And he is still in contact with the other party. Judging from his words, it seems that he has agreed on a meeting place with the kidnapper."


    Luo An crossed his arms over his chest, leaned back on the chair, pondered for a few seconds, and asked:


    ��Michelle, please check the specific situation of the Buick sedan Dagny Moses just mentioned and find its location.


    Mona, you start tracking John��s journey from now on, and you must not let him leave our sight!


    Lacey, you and I go to Ms. Madalyn''s house and we will discuss her ex-husband''s affairs with her in detail. "


    ��OK!��


    "no problem!"

 Chapter 347： Convince Madalyn Allen

    Chapter 347 Convincing Madalyn Allen


    On the way to Kara��s house.


    ??The dark SUV was speeding forward. Lacey''s cell phone in the passenger seat suddenly rang. She pressed the answer button and Mona''s voice came from the other end of the phone:


    ��Both of you, John has disappeared and I can��t find him.��


    ��What?��


    Luo An, who was driving, looked unchanged. Lacey frowned slightly when she heard this:


    ��When did it happen? Where did you disappear?��


    ��Three minutes ago, the missing location was on the road next to Los Angeles Airport.��


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone sounded a little annoyed:


    ��In just one traffic light, John��s figure completely disappeared.��


    Lacie sighed:


    ��The daughter disappeared first, and the father disappeared again. Today��s case is so lively.��


    ?Luo An ignored the lamented Lacey. He grabbed the phone and asked:


    ��Michelle, how is your investigation going?��


    ��Still working hard!��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An continued:


    ��Mona, while you are looking for John��s whereabouts, carefully investigate John��s past resume and his bank account to see if he has withdrawn money recently.��


    ��OK!��


    ?Hang up the call and throw the phone back to Lacey. Luoan stepped on the accelerator and the dark SUV moved forward a few minutes faster.


    Five minutes later, Kara''s house.


    ��Good evening, Ms. Madalyn.��


    ?? Entering the villa with Lacey, Luo An asked directly:


    ��Where is your ex-husband now?��


    ��My ex-husband? You mean John?��


    ?Madalene Allen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly explained:


    ��He��s on his way here.��


    ??While Madalyn Allen was speaking, Luo An had been observing her expression and movements, and it was obvious that she was not lying. She really thought that John was driving here.


    Lacie and Luo An looked at each other, pulled Allen to sit on the sofa, and said softly:


    ��Ms. Madalyn, according to our investigation, your ex-husband John has just disappeared. Do you know where he is most likely to go?��


    ��John is missing?!��


    Mcdalen Allen''s pupils shrank when she heard this. She suddenly thought of something, her expression calmed down again, she shook her head and said:


    ��Impossible, he called me just now and said there was a bit of traffic on the road, but he would be here soon.��


    Luo An''s lips moved slightly when he saw this, and he stopped wasting time and asked directly:


    ��Ms. Madalyn, do you really think your ex-husband alone can bring your daughter back?��


    ??Madalene Allen subconsciously looked up at Luo An, and when she saw Luo An''s eyes, she quickly turned to look at Lacey:


    ��Sorry, Deputy Leader Greenwood, I don��t understand what you mean.��


    ��No, you understand, you just don��t want to admit it.��


    ?Luo An sat on the chair, staring at Madalyn Allen, and said in a deep voice:


    ��We know that John promised you that he would bring his daughter back, but have you ever thought about a question:


    ??The guy who kidnapped your daughter is most likely not one person, but a group of people.


    ??Is John really capable of escaping unharmed from a group of enemies with his daughter?


    ??Also, the other party killed the nanny Samira in order to kidnap your daughter. It is obvious that the other party does not care about human life at all, you..."


    "enough!"


    Following Luo An''s words, Madalyn Allen''s whole body began to tremble, and her eyes quickly turned red. She suddenly stopped Luo An from continuing to speak loudly, and said in a condensed voice:


    ��I believe John.��


    ??Lacie frowned angrily when she saw this, and just as she was about to speak, Luo An grabbed her hand and asked:


    ��Ms. Madalyn, are you sure?��


    Madalyn Allen didn''t answer, her eyes moved left and right unconsciously. It was obvious that she had taken what Luo An just said into her heart, but her ex-husband''s confident assurance also made her unable to ignore it. She didn''t know what to do, and she continued to struggle. . Luo An can understand Madalin''s mentality and approach for her daughter, but her current behavior has obviously hindered her from handling the case.


    After pondering for a moment, Luo An''s eyes flashed with light, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and said in a deep voice:


    ��In accordance with the mandatory reporting requirements for child abuse and neglect under federal child protection laws, and the conduct of Mr. John and Ms. Madalyn in this case:


    We now have sufficient reason to suspect that Mr. John is the main suspect in the kidnapping of Carla. Ms. Madalyn has been deceived by the other party and is unable to make a correct judgment that is beneficial to Carla''s life safety.


    ?In response to the above situation, according to federal law, the FBI has the right to temporarily deprive Ms. Madalyn of her right to take the lead in this case, and the next actions will be based on the FBI��s judgment!


    Lacie! Immediately issue an arrest warrant for John Rodriguez! Let all law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles pursue John Rodriguez with all their strength! "


    "no problem!"


    After understanding the look Luo An gave her, Lacey immediately stood up and left the sofa. She agreed loudly and took out her mobile phone to make a call.


    ��No! You can��t do this!��


    ?Hearing Luo An��s words and seeing Lacey��s actions, Madalyn Allen suddenly panicked and hurriedly stood up and shouted:


    ��You can��t do this! You don��t have the power!��


    Luo An spread his hands:


    ��I��m sorry, but federal law allows me to do this when a parent is unable to make good judgment.��


    The federal law in 2005 was relatively mild. If in more than ten years, teachers in some schools encourage their children to take drugs or use physical means to directly change their gender without telling their parents, and the parents find out about it and take this matter to court, the court will On the contrary, it will deprive the parents of their custody rights.


    The reason is that the parents are ��characteristically discriminatory�� and ��ignorant of gender pronouns����


    Madalyn Allen doesn''t know the future magical world. She only knows that if Luo An really issues a wanted order against John, it will be unpredictable whether her daughter can come back.


    ��I really don��t know where John is now!��


    After staring at Luo An for a moment, Madalyn Allen begged:


    ��Please, I really don��t know where he is, I just want my daughter to come back safely.��


    ��Then please cooperate with us, Ms. Madalyn.��


    ?Luo An poured a glass of water and handed it to her hand:


    "Time waits for no one. If we delay it any longer, none of us know what will happen."


    ?After a moment of silence, Madalyn Allen whispered:


    ��An area south of Los Angeles Airport where John once had a house. I don��t know if it still exists.��


    ??Madalene-Allen said that when she and John first got married, she thought that John was cheating on her and secretly checked the house. John did not know about it.


    ��Good.��


    ??Taking out a pen and paper to check the specific location of the house, Luo An signaled the two female agents to guard the place and immediately drove out of the villa with Lacey.


    On the way, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Mona:


    ��How are you, have you found John?��


    ��Still working on it.��


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone was typing on the computer keyboard frantically:


    ��I already have an idea, give me some more time.��


    ��OK, good work.��


    ?Hang up the phone, Luo An drove the SUV quickly toward the house that Madalin said.


    Ten minutes later, Luo An and Lacey came to an ordinary community and found a more ordinary-looking room.


    ��There is no one in the room.��


    ?Handing a pistol close to the door of the room, Luo An made a quick judgment, and then entered the room with Lacey.


    ��Looks like no one has lived there for a long time.��


    Lacie touched a handful of dust on the coffee table and put away the pistol:


    ��It doesn��t look like anyone has been here. It seems we are in the wrong place.��


    "No"


    Luo An looked at the paintings hanging on the bathroom wall and said with a smile:


    ��We��ve found the right place.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 348： Johns true identity

    Chapter 348 John��s true identity


    An ordinary room in a community south of Los Angeles Airport.


    Hearing Luo An''s words, Lacey immediately walked into the bathroom and followed his gaze to the paintings hanging on the wall.


    This is a very ordinary and common landscape painting. What is noticeable is that a small part of the painting is concave inward.


    ??Lacie gave a thumbs up to Luo An, raised her hand to pick up the painting, and a black combination lock safe appeared in front of them.


    ��A big surprise.��


    ??Lacie threw the painting aside casually. Luo An came up and knocked on the safe, turned around and asked:


    ��Let��s ask someone from the Trace Inspection Department to open the gift box.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Lacie took out her mobile phone and contacted the agents from the Trace Inspection Division. While waiting for the agents from the Trace Inspection Division to arrive, Luo An called Michelle:


    ��How is the investigation going on here?��


    ��I found the black Buick car that drug addict Dagny Moses said was on a camera south of Allen��s villa area.��


    Michelle��s sigh came from the other end of the phone:


    ��But unfortunately, that black Buick had someone else��s license plate on it, and the real owner of that license plate had been at work.��


    Luo An frowned slightly when he heard this:


    ��Can you clearly see the appearance of the driver of the black Buick in the camera?��


    ��Can��t see clearly.��


    ?Michelle manipulated the mouse to enlarge the surveillance screen:


    ��But Mona helped me improve the quality of the footage recorded by the surveillance camera. The black Buick had a driver in the front and a person sitting in the back seat.��


    ��It seems that the crime was committed by a gang.��


    Luo An nodded, pondered for a few seconds, and added:


    ��Continue to look for the Buick and see where it was last seen.��


    "no problem."


    Not long after hanging up the phone, people from the Trace Inspection Section also arrived. A few minutes later, agents from the Trace Inspection Section carrying professional equipment successfully opened the old combination lock safe.


    "sharp!"


    ??Luo An grinned and gave a thumbs up to the agent from the Trace Inspection Section. Then he looked at the professional tools in the other person''s hand, his eyes flashing, and he didn''t know what he was thinking.


    ��Thank you, thank you for your hard work.��


    ??Lacie thanked the detectives from the Trace Inspection Division and opened the door of the safe. There was only a locked metal box inside.


    ??This box naturally did not require the intervention of the agents from the Trace Inspection Division. Luo An stepped forward and in just ten seconds... removed the lock from the box.


    ������x2


    Lacey and the detectives from the Trace Inspection Section were speechless as they looked at the lock thrown aside. Luo An ignored their looks and immediately opened the metal box after removing the lock.


    There were not many things in the metal box, except for a few US dollars stacked up to about 70,000, a loaded 9 mm pistol, 5 social security cards, driver''s licenses, and passports with different identities.


    ??The names above are all different, but the faces are all the same, John Rodriguez.


    ��Wow, looks like we found a Mr. Spy.��


    ??Lacie carefully checked her driver''s license and passport and found that they didn''t seem to be fake. Upon seeing this, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Mona:


    ��Mona, please do some hard work and check the authenticity of these documents.��


    ?According to the ID numbers Lacey described on the phone, Mona��s fingers were flying on the computer and she quickly found out the status of these IDs:


    ��Unfortunately, these documents are all genuine and are genuine documents issued by the federal government.��


    ��This is really unsurprising news.��


    ?Luo An sat down on the sofa in the living room and asked:


    ��So which one is our Mr. John��s true identity?��


    ��John Rodriguez, this is who he really is.��


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone looked at the information on the computer and replied:


    "Under this name, I found his birth certificate, childhood photos, and medical insurance and other information." "This news is a bit surprising."


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows, and Lacey next to him saw this and asked:


    ��So, who is John Rodriguez? A spy? An agent?��


    ?Mona handed the phone to Michelle:


    ��I don��t know, Michelle is checking.��


    ��The National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security have gotten back to me and said John is not one of their people.��


    ?Michelle put down the landline phone in her hand and was about to continue talking when another landline phone suddenly rang.


    After answering the phone, Michelle nodded and answered a few words, then covered the landline phone and said to Mona��s mobile phone:


    ��The CIA said that John is their senior agent and asked our special investigation team to immediately stop the current case-handling activities.��


    ��It��s these jerks again!��


    Hearing Michelle''s words, Mona and Lacey both rolled their eyes.


    ? Luo An glared at Lacey when he heard this. He couldn''t speak clearly. If the CIA is a troublemaker, who are we?


    ?After a second of silence, Luo An said seriously into the phone:


    ��Michelle, tell the CIA group that our operations cannot be stopped. If you have any request, come to my place and discuss it face to face.


    ?In addition, briefly inform them of John��s current whereabouts, and let them ask for John��s information.


    If not, if any problems arise between John and Kara during this period, all responsibility will be borne by the CIA. "


    ?Michelle immediately repeated Luo An��s words to the other party. Mona, who was holding the mobile phone next to her, had bright eyes. She liked Luo An��s domineering look.


    Lacie and the agent from the Trace Inspection Section also gave Luan a thumbs up when they heard this.


    A few seconds later, Michelle��s voice sounded again:


    ��Deputy Team Leader Luo An, John��s superior asked where you are now. He wants to meet with you in person to discuss this matter.��


    Michelle finished speaking. Although Mona and Lacey were far apart, they both had beautiful smiles on their faces.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he glanced at the room that had been searched and there was nothing useful, and said:


    ��Don��t come here, go directly to our special investigation team. Lacey and I will go back right away.��


    ����


    Half an hour later, the special investigation team conference room.


    ��John is one of the most capable agents we have in South America.��


    John��s superior is an old white man with a stern face and a black suit named Wander.


    ?He crossed his legs and looked at Luo An expressionlessly:


    ��His return to the Federation for the sake of his family is a great loss to us.��


    Seeing that the other party kept looking at him with a cold face, Luo An''s face also turned cold, and he asked with the same expressionless face:


    ��So, John is not an active agent now?��


    ��He is now mainly responsible for management matters.��


    Wande asked rhetorically:


    ��Why are you investigating John this time?��


    Luo An did not answer, but just glanced at Lacey next to him.


    Upon seeing this, Lacey immediately opened the recording of the call between John and his wife Ellen after he got off the plane.


    ?After the recording was played, Luo An said coldly:


    ��John��s daughter was kidnapped. It was not difficult to hear in the recording that John had been in contact with the kidnapper and even knew who the kidnapper was.


    As John��s commander, what are your thoughts on this? "


    ?After listening to the recording, Wande''s eyes quickly darkened. Regarding the question raised by Luo An, he pondered for a few seconds and said:


    ��I should know who the other party is. There is a high probability that they are a group of guys from South America looking for revenge on John.��


    Luo An crossed his legs and leaned back:


    ��Can you explain it in detail?��

    Chapter 349: People are not important, only heads are important


    Special Investigation Team, conference room.


    ��Do you know Diego Rodriguez de Silva?��


    ?Wande did not answer Luo An��s question directly, but asked him in turn.


    ?Luo An didn��t answer, just looked at Wande quietly.


    "I know him."


    ?Just as the air gradually became quiet, Lacey nodded and said:


    ��A few years ago, there was a large gang in a small country in South America. Their main business was gambling products, and they transported a large amount of gambling products to the federal territory every year.


    ?This Diego Rodriguez de Silva is the gang leader of this gang. "


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Wande gave Lacey a "you are very good" look, and then explained:


    ��For the sake of the Federation, John led his teammates to kill Diego Rodriguez de Silva a few years ago.


    But Diego��s youngest son escaped. This incident should be the one that sought revenge from John. "


    "Um."


    After hearing Wande��s explanation, Lacey nodded in confusion, and Luo An also nodded slightly.


    ?On the surface it seemed that Luo An accepted this background story, but in fact he didn��t believe a word of it.


    The whole world knows Ccia''s behavior outside the federation. Compared with Wande''s "for the federation", Luo An is more willing to believe that John leads people to kill the gang leader. In fact, it is just to support a guy who is more cooperative with Ccia to rise to power.


    ? Even when John led people to kill the gang leader, Luo An chose not to believe it.


    ??At the first sight of Wande, Luo An could tell that this old guy was thick-skinned and must have been used to telling lies. Who knows if what he just said was just fabricated.


    Or the possibility of blaming John for what others did was not small.


    Too lazy to get to the bottom of things with the CIA, a group of people who are prone to lying and who say nine out of ten sentences are false, Luo An asked directly:


    ��Now John is going to face the kidnappers alone. Do you know where these kidnappers will be hiding?��


    ��No.��


    ?Wande shook his head first, then stood up from the chair, marked the buttons on his suit, and said coldly:


    ��But I know the locations of several safe houses that John has arranged in Los Angeles, and we will definitely be able to find John in those places.��


    ? Luo An and Lacey also stood up and left their chairs after hearing this. Regarding the question revealed in Wande''s words, Luo An just glanced at him and didn''t say much.


    It can only be said that it is a CIA, and it has become their habit to prevent foreigners from being imprisoned.


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    With Wander telling the locations of several safe houses, Mona soon found John in a corner store and discovered what kind of car John was driving and the license plate number of the car.


    Seeing that it only took Mona a few minutes to locate John''s current location based on the license plate number, and completed the work that had not been completed for so long, Luo An''s eyebrows jumped and he glanced at Wande calmly. .


    ?Sure enough, teammates who backstab are far more deadly than terrifying enemies.


    Things like safe houses cannot be used again after being exposed once, and Wande actually exposed so many safe houses for John this time... A flash of light flashed in Luo An''s eyes and he said:


    ��It seems that your CIA attaches great importance to John.��


    Wan De crossed his arms on his chest and did not answer. He was silent for a long time before saying:


    "John is a hero of our CIA, he should not die in the hands of these avengers."


    Hearing Wande��s words, Luo An��s expression did not change, but he laughed out loud in his heart.


    ?These CIAs are indeed hypocritical.


    ??Luo An can guarantee that if Mona tells the news that John is dead now, Wande will never feel sad, but will immediately find a way to silence those people in the name of "avenging John".


    John himself is not important. As a former CIA agent and current CIA manager, the information he knows in his head is the most important.


    ??What Wande fears most now is not that John will die, but that he will be captured.


    ?? Once John is controlled by the kidnappers, no one knows whether John will be unable to withstand the torture and tell some information that Wander does not want him to tell.


    ??There are more and more people rebelling in the Federation every year, and there are also a lot of CIA. Federal culture has always been centered on individuals or families, with the country and national interests only ranking third compared to these two.


    ??Although Luo An despises Wander, he has no intention of exposing him. The top priority now is to quickly find John, find Kara, and catch the group of murderers who kidnapped Kara.


    ��Everyone! I found where John��s car is!��


    At this moment, Mona suddenly said loudly:


    ��He was driving straight in that direction on a certain highway in southeast Los Angeles!��


    ��There is an abandoned industrial park not far ahead of that road, which is very suitable for hiding or ambush.��


    When talking about the ambush, Luo An glanced at Wande calmly, and sure enough, he saw Wande''s eyelids twitching subconsciously.


    Smiling inwardly, Luo An quickly pulled Lacey and Michelle into the equipment room, and loudly said at the same time:


    ��Mona, always locate and monitor John��s status!


    Also, contact SWAT and have them get to John''s location as quickly as possible! "


    "clear!"


    ??Mona immediately picked up the landline and started making a call, and Wander also took out his cell phone and started dialing it.


    When Luo An, Lacey and Michelle were fully armed and ready with weapons, Wande quickly followed and said seriously:


    ��I am with you in this operation.��


    Hearing this, Luo An glanced at Mona behind Wande, saw her giving an "OK" gesture, and immediately nodded and agreed to take him to the elevator:


    ��Yes, but you do not have on-site command authority.��


    "certainly."


    ����


    The fifteenth hour of Kara��s disappearance.


    ?Two dark SWAT personnel carriers were speeding forward on the streets of Los Angeles. Luo An followed them in an SUV and quickly surpassed them.


    Lacie was sitting in the passenger seat, and Michelle was sitting in the back seat of the car, looking down at the equipment in silence.


    Wande was also sitting in the back seat of the car, looking at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the car and Luo An''s magical overtaking at various wonderful angles. The older man''s face gradually turned pale, and his tone was no longer as calm as before, and he was trembling a little. He pulled on the seat belt tightly and said:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, there is no need to drive so fast, please pay more attention to safety.��


    ��What? Not fast enough?��


    ? Seeing that Wande was just a little scared and not physically uncomfortable, Luo An selectively misheard the other party''s words, grinned, and directly stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the SUV''s forward speed increased by another level:


    ��Don��t worry! We will definitely arrive at the scene before John dies!��


    ����


    ?Wande didn''t say anything. He just looked at the scenery outside the car and tightened his seat belt a little tighter.


    Lacie in the co-pilot finished checking the equipment, and following Luo An��s instructions, she took out her mobile phone and called Mona:


    ��How about it? Positioning shows where John is now?��


    ��It��s in the abandoned industrial park you guessed before, Luo An!��


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone typed on the keyboard a few times and said:


    ��John pulled up there three minutes ago.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An simply calculated the distance and said:


    ��We will arrive at the industrial park in five minutes.��


    ��OK, be careful.��


    ?? Mona hung up the phone with a simple instruction. Just as Lacey was about to put the phone away, the phone suddenly rang again.


    ��It��s still me, Mona.��


    Lacey pressed the answer button, and Mona on the other end of the phone spoke in a hurry:


    ��Just now, the LAPD received a report. The reporter said that there were fierce gunshots in the industrial park where you were going!��

 Chapter 350： Abandoned Industrial Park, PACA, SR25

    Chapter 350 Abandoned Industrial Park, PACA, SR-25


    ��Shit!��


    ?In the SUV driving forward like black lightning, Luo An��s expression did not change after hearing Mona��s words, Lacey breathed out fragrance, Michelle frowned, Wande...


    ?Wande didn''t say anything. The SUV was moving too fast, and he had already closed his eyes and was wandering around.


    ��Mona, continue to monitor the situation near the industrial park at all times.��


    Without any nonsense, Luo An signaled Lacey to turn off her phone, then pressed the communicator and said seriously to the SWAT team members:


    ��Everyone, the target location has been confirmed, an abandoned industrial park.


    If you encounter any rebels after arriving at the scene, you are allowed to kill them on the spot! repeat! Allowed to be killed on the spot! "


    ��Understood!�� xN


    ? ? Turning off the contactor, Luo An turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. The SUV immediately passed between the two passers-by and the driver in their astonished eyes.


    ?Five minutes later, the SUV driven by Luo An arrived at the abandoned industrial park first and saw the car driven by John.


    I opened the safety of the Glock 18 and stepped out of the car. At this time, the interior of the industrial park was extremely quiet, and there was no sound of gunfire at all.


    ��Michelle, you stay here, wait for the SWAT team, and go inside with them.��


    ??Luo An grabbed Michelle, who was feeling unwell under the pressure and was about to move forward with a gun. He pointed at Wande, who was still sitting in the car and was recovering, and whispered:


    ��Also, pay more attention to Wan De��s safety.��


    Hearing "safety" in Luo An''s mouth and seeing the look in Luo An''s eyes when he handed it to her, Michelle immediately understood the true meaning of Luo An''s words and nodded seriously:


    ��Okay, make sure to complete the task.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An patted Michelle''s arm with satisfaction, and then slowly walked into the industrial park with Lacey in a vigilant posture.


    ��Look at the corners.��


    Because he was not sure how many enemies there were, for the sake of Lacey''s safety, Luo An did not choose to split his troops into two groups. Instead, he and Lacey stayed close to each other, cautiously and slowly exploring the situation in the industrial park.


    Slowly walking through the first two factories, Luo An and Lacey found nothing except a lot of waste.


    The two reached the end of the second factory building. Lacey and Luo An suddenly stopped because in the open space between the second factory building and the three factories, there were four people standing with rifles, wearing body armor and covering their heads. A guy whose face can''t be seen clearly, only two eyes showing.


    ��With this look, I thought I had entered a drug dealer��s den in South America.��


    ??Lacie looked at the four of them and complained in a low voice. Luo An pointed to the body armor on the four of them and laughed in a low voice:


    ��The drug traffickers in South America can��t afford PACA��s body armor.��


    PACA, the full name of Protective Apparel Corporation of America, is one of the pioneers in the law enforcement, military and private security markets. It provides law enforcement officials and special forces with a variety of high-quality bulletproof and knife protection products. At a high price, it is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Just play casually.


    "It really is?"


    Lacey was slightly startled when she heard this, and then frowned slightly, because the performance of the body armor on the other party was not much different from the body armor on her and Luo An.


    ��It seems that there are other circumstances behind this case that we don��t know about.��


    Luo An observed the circle carefully, pondered for a few seconds, pointed in another direction and said:


    ��You wait here for a moment, I will go to that direction to check the situation.


    If gunshots are heard from that direction, on the premise that you are sure that you are safe, fire two shots at random to attract attention, then exit the area, wait for the SWAT team to arrive, and then act with them. "


    ? ����OK.��


    Lacey wanted to refuse, but considering the difference between her own skills and reaching out to the opponent, she looked at Luo An deeply after a long silence and said in a deep voice:


    ��Be careful.��


    ��Don��t worry, trust me.��


    ??Luo An grinned and ran quickly towards the shadow not far away, and then disappeared in front of Lacey in a flash.


    ?Seeing Luo An completely disappear, Lacey took a deep breath, silently prayed to God for him, then found a hidden spot with a gun and slowly hid.


    ??The location Luo An went to was one of the commanding heights of the industrial park. From that position, he could clearly see the details inside Factory Building No. 3. Anyone with a little knowledge of military knowledge can see the importance of this commanding height.


    ?This group of guys wearing PACA body armor are obviously not ordinary people, so this commanding height must be defended.


    ??But Luo An didn''t panic, because this commanding height was not very big and could only accommodate two people at most.


    There is still a small blind area of ??vision below the commanding heights. The place is a bit small, but Luo An made a simple judgment and found that it was enough to climb up by himself.


    ��A mission to seize the commanding heights.��


    Luo An, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at the slight bulge on the commanding heights, twisted his wrist, grinned, took out a bottle of hemostatic potion and a bottle of agility potion and poured them into his stomach.


    The next second, Luo An''s figure disappeared from the place like a ghost.


    On the other side, at the commanding heights, a man with short hair and a hooked nose, and a man with the same short hair, but with scars at the corners of his eyes, holding telescopes, lay on the platform and carefully observed the surroundings.


    ?The one with a hooked nose was stroking the SR-25 sniper rifle in front of him with joy in his eyes.


    SR-25 sniper rifle is a product that is a combination of AR-10 rifle and AR-15 rifle. 60% of their parts are directly taken from these two rifles.


    Currently, the federal army, navy, marines, and some private military contractors are equipped with the SR-25 sniper rifle. It is one of the weapons of choice for special forces and operational forces, and has received high praise for both civilian and military use. .


    ?Hooked Nose has been working for so many years, and this is the first time to use such a good and new sniper rifle.


    ?Hooked Nose wouldn''t be so excited if he only had the chance to use this gun once.


    What really excited Hook Nose was that the boss said that the boss heard that he was good at sniping and bought it for him specially.


    ??Thinking that the gun in front of him will always belong to him from now on, the bad teeth behind his hooked nose laughed.


    The man with the scar at the corner of his eye put down the telescope and turned his head in confusion:


    ��Hey, what are you laughing at?��


    ?? He wiped his nose with his hooked nose and explained with a low smile:


    ��I plan to wait until this mission is over and go back with this gun to beat up the bald guy who always laughs at me.


    Then I snatched the girl from his arms and let him see how powerful I am. "


    The man with the scar at the corner of his eye, aware of the conflict between the two, shook his head speechlessly and used the telescope to observe his surroundings again.


    Zila��


    At this moment, the intercom next to the man with the scar at the corner of his eye suddenly rang, and a hoarse voice came out:


    ��The mission is over, prepare to evacuate.��


    ??The man with the scar at the corner of his eye quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and replied:


    "Received, we will retreat."


    ? After the words fell, the intercom was turned off, and the hooked nose carefully touched the SR-25. The guy with the scar at the corner of his eye also picked up the telescope again.


    At this moment, the two of them suddenly realized that their shadows were not right, as if there was an extra person.


    After reacting, the hook-nosed pupils shrank suddenly. He subconsciously took out a dagger from his waist and prepared to stab behind him. However, he suddenly found that his hand was grabbed by someone, and at the same time, another hand appeared and grabbed his chin.


    ?Hooked Nose, who understood what the opponent was trying to do, widened his eyes and struggled wildly to try to break away from the opponent. As a result, the opponent''s right hand was like an iron vise and he couldn''t break free at all.


    ����


    ?? He pushed hard to the right. Under the terrifying force, the hooked nose and neck broke instantly, and then the body became limp and breathless.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??Luo An''s movements to help Hook Nose fall into a deep sleep were so quick and sharp that the man with the scar at the corner of his eye had trembling eyebrows and was dumbfounded.


    ?But now is not the time to hesitate. The man with the scar at the corner of his eye was eager but not panicked. The moment before his hooked nose fell to the ground, he had already taken out his pistol and aimed it at Luo An.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 351： The dagger is sharp. Sniper!

    Chapter 351 The dagger is very sharp. Sniper!


    ��On the high platform where there were two people, a third person appeared.


    ??The man with a hooked nose, broken neck, breathless, and scars at the corners of his eyes was already aiming his gun at Luo An, who suddenly appeared.


    Just when he was about to pull the trigger, Luo An was faster than him. He grabbed the pistol with his right hand and pressed it down. At the same time, his left hand snatched the dagger that was stabbing him from the hook-nosed hand and took it towards the man with the scar at the corner of his eye. The finger of the gun crossed.


    ����


    ??A white light flashed, and the man with the scar at the corner of his eye suddenly took a breath of air, then looked at his right hand that was missing **** and screamed in pain:


    ��Sonof����


    ??The man''s finger was cut off and the man with the scar at the corner of his eye loosened his grip subconsciously. Luo An took advantage of the situation to grab the pistol, turned it sideways and hit the man with the scar at the corner of his eye in the temple.


    score


    ??Suffering a heavy blow to the temple and with scars at the corners of his eyes, the man''s eyes bulged and he fell to the side uncontrollably, and the greetings in his mouth also stopped.


    The moment he fell, the man with a scar at the corner of his eye who was still awake endured the pain. He immediately took out another dagger and stabbed forward hard. At the same time, he opened his mouth and prepared to shout loudly, hoping to attract the attention of those inside the factory.


    ����


    The next second, a familiar white light flashed in front of his eyes. The man with the scar at the corner of his eye suddenly felt that his neck was in great pain. His body was shaking and twitching uncontrollably. He wanted to breathe and speak but couldn''t find the strength...


    Luo An, who took away the dagger from the man with the scar at the corner of his eye and sent him and the hooked nose into deep sleep, breathed a sigh of relief. The action of killing these two people just now was actually very fast. Only a few seconds passed, but in order to prevent the enemy Discovering something unusual here, he still ignored the red liquid on the platform and quickly lay down.


    ��The dagger is very sharp, thank you.��


    ?Putting the dagger into the pocket on his thigh, Luo An took the hook-nosed SR-25 and began to carefully observe the situation inside the factory.


    ?Through the SR-25''s magnifying glass, Luo An discovered that the two gates in the north and south of Factory No. 3 were guarded by four guys wearing body armor, holding rifles, and wearing hoods and shirts whose faces could not be seen clearly.


    There are many people inside the factory. In addition to a young man wearing a suit and holding a pistol, a man holding a rifle and wearing a black hood, there are six other guys holding rifles and dressed the same as the defenders outside.


    ??Two of the six people were shot in the arms and legs, and some simple treatment was performed to stop the bleeding.


    To the north of the factory, there are two chairs facing each other.


    ?In one of the chairs sat John Rodriguez, whose hands and feet were tied, with a lot of bruises and blood on his face, and a gunshot wound to his arm.


    There are two guys walking towards John now. Based on what was heard from the walkie-talkie just now, Luo An judged that this group of people should be preparing to carry John to evacuate the place first, and the snipers and observers on the high platform left last.


    ??Luo An can understand the fact that John was captured, after all, the opponent has a large number of people.


    ??What Luo An didn''t understand was that he took a sniper rifle and looked around carefully, but he didn''t see the little girl Kara at all.


    "Is Kara not here at all? Or has she been taken away by this group of people in advance?"


    Roan didn��t understand whether John had seen Kara or not, or whether Kara was here.


    ?However, the enemy was already preparing to retreat at this time. It was not time to continue speculating about this matter. Luo An immediately pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��Lacie, how are you doing here?��


    ��Luo An? Did you succeed?��


    Hearing that there was nothing wrong with Luo An��s tone of voice, Lacey, who had been worried for a long time, breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly replied:


    ��I��m fine, the enemy hasn��t noticed me yet.��


    "very good."


    Luo An adjusted the channel and continued to ask:


    ��Where are the SWAT teams now?��


    ��Arrived at the designated location outside the industrial park.��


    ??The voice of one of the SWAT team leaders came from the contact:


    ��What specific actions will be taken next?��


    ��It is estimated that there will be 16 enemies and 1 hostage. The left and right teams will be divided into two groups to completely surround the No. 3 factory building in the industrial park. Act quickly!��


    Luo An didn��t talk nonsense and said directly:


    ��The enemy has rifles and body armor in his hands, be careful!��


    "clear!"


    The SWAT captain waved his hand:


    ��Action, action! Go fast!�� ��GoGoGo!��


    A group of SWAT members immediately rushed toward the target location with rifles in hand.


    ?Wande, who was in a much better situation, was about to take out his mobile phone and make a call when he saw this, but found Michelle holding a gun standing closely beside him, with no intention of acting together with the SWAT team members.


    ?Wande frowned slightly when he saw this, and walked to the other side of the SUV with his cell phone.


    Then Michelle walked to him silently, holding the weapon.


    Without speaking, he looked at Wande quietly with a standard smile showing eight teeth in the federal style.


    Wande: ������


    Luo An didn''t care about Wande''s depressed mood outside the industrial park. The SWAT team members made a lot of noise when they moved, and everyone in Factory No. 3 had already noticed something was wrong.


    ??The young man turned to look at the man wearing a black hood next to him. The man in the black hood waved his hands and motioned to the people behind him to protect the young man and John. Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and asked as he walked:


    ��antonio, happen����


    On the high platform, Luo An tilted his head slightly when he heard the voice from the intercom. He didn''t know which of the two corpses this "antonio" was.


    ??It doesn��t matter which one, slow down your breathing, aim the SR-25 at the target, and Luo An directly pulls the trigger.


    boom-


    A dull gunshot sounded from the high platform. Before the man in the black hood could finish his words, a sharp pain suddenly came from his right shoulder, and he fell backward uncontrollably to the ground.


    ��Sniper!��


    ��Escape!��


    ��antonio has rebelled!��


    "*#%@ Idiot! This is obviously antonio who was killed! It was definitely not him who shot!"


    The moment the man in the black hood was shot and fell to the ground, the man in the suit subconsciously shrank his head and squatted on the ground. A dozen guys whose faces could not be seen clearly shouted loudly, and while shooting at the commanding heights, the others immediately pulled the man in the suit, John and The three men in hoods quickly ducked behind the obstacle.


    ?At this moment, the SWAT team members and Lacey also arrived and pulled the trigger on them without saying a word.


    ��There are enemies behind!��


    ��Attention to the sides! Sides!��


    ?Bang bang bang bang��


    boom! boom! boom!


    ��Left left! Quick encirclement!��


    "clear!"


    ?Two teams of heavily armed SWAT members immediately exchanged fire with the dozen or so guys in shirts and hoods. The gunfire was loud and the fighting was very fierce.


    ?Bang��bang��bang��


    ? Luo An on the high platform shot the guys with their heads exposed and shirts and hoodies one by one, and quickly killed three guys who didn''t care about their butts and heads.


    ??Although this group of guys in shirts and pullovers had excellent weapons and armor, their physical abilities were average, and they were quickly defeated by the experienced and orderly SWAT team members.


    Seeing that more than half of his men were injured, the hooded man immediately endured the severe pain in his right shoulder, stretched out his left hand to grab one of his men, and shouted coldly:


    ��Jos��! Bring someone to cover their retreat!��


    The "they" mentioned by the man in the hood are the young man in suit and the captive John.


    ��But you...��


    ??The guy named Jose was stunned and hesitated when he heard this. The man in the hood immediately kicked him hard and roared:


    ��Listen to my orders! Retreat!��


    The guy named Jose was kicked, and he took a deep look at the man in the black hood, and then pulled over the two teammates beside him. Jose himself dragged the young man in the suit, and the two teammates picked up John and quickly rushed to the SWAT team. The direction under control broke through.


    On the other side, Luo An carried the SR-25 and moved it slowly from the high platform to the ground.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 352： It was him you held hostage, why did you ask us to let him go?

    Chapter 352 It��s him you��re holding hostage. Why do you ask us to give way?


    The southeast side of Factory No. 3, the direction that the SWAT team members did not come and blocked all.


    John Rodriguez, who was held on his shoulders by two guys with shirts over his head and whose face he couldn''t see clearly, and whose face was bruised and bruised, didn''t panic at all.


    ?He looked at the young man in a suit who was holding a pistol and walking quickly behind Jose with a solemn expression and laughed:


    ��Farhad, look at how you look now! You are even more embarrassed than you were before your father died!��


    When Farhad, a young man in a suit, heard this, he glanced at John coldly and said nothing, but deep down in his heart, he had already made plans to turn around and tie up John, and let him watch with his own eyes as the flesh on his body was cut off bit by bit.


    ?Seeing that Farhad did not reply, John, who was bruised and bruised, smiled even more brightly and cursed even more cheerfully.


    On the other side, the guys in shirts and hoods at the end of Factory No. 3 have all been shot dead by the SWAT team members.


    Only the man in the black hood and two guys in shirts and hoodies were left, hiding in a corner inside Factory No. 4 and resisting.


    ? Seeing several SWAT team members starting to study how to attack the last few enemies, Lacey put down her rifle after killing two enemies, breathed a sigh of relief, then pressed the communicator and said:


    ��Luo An? How are you doing over there?


    ? We haven��t found the young man and John you mentioned before here. Team A SWAT has gone to hunt them down based on the traces. "


    "I''m fine. By the way, let the two SWAT team members go to the high platform to dispose of the body."


    ??Luo An was standing at a slightly higher place with the SR-25, looking at the five Farhards who were escaping quickly, and the SWAT members of Group A who were not too far away from them, and said with a smile:


    ��Then come to the back of Factory No. 6. I have already found John and the others.��


    After saying that, Luo An turned off the contact device, slammed his right foot on the ground, and carried the SR-25 forward like lightning in the direction of Farhad and others'' escape.


    boom!


    A few seconds later, as the five Farhards were running forward quickly, there was a muffled gunshot. One of the guys carrying John''s shirt and hood was immediately shot in the middle of the eyebrow, and his legs went weak and he fell down. rise.


    score


    John, who lost part of his support, suddenly fell to the ground, face first.


    John: ������


    ��Zhaite!��


    ??The remaining Farhad and Jose were startled by the sudden gunfire and hurriedly hid behind the last bunker around them.


    boom!


    Just as the remaining guy in a shirt and hoodie threw John to the two of them, another muffled gunshot was heard not far in front of them, and then the guy with a hole in his temple closed his eyes forever.


    After successfully killing two enemies, Luo An��s eyes lit up behind a certain bunker and he shook the SR-25 in his hand vigorously.


    ? No wonder Hook Nose is so happy to get the SR-25. The accuracy, reliability and adaptability of this gun are indeed extraordinary, and it is both comfortable and comfortable to use.


    Checking the magazine and finding that there were still 10 bullets left in the SR-25, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief.


    ?Using the "emotional perception" in his mind to find the three emotional objects closest to him, Luo An judged the hidden location of the other party, took a deep breath, and immediately moved to the other side like lightning.


    ��I found him!��


    ???The moment Luo An moved quickly, Jose, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately spotted his figure, raised the rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ��They��re here!��


    On the other side, Lacey, who quickly caught up, and the SWAT team members of Group A also arrived here. Seeing Jose''s back with a gun raised, they immediately raised their guns and prepared to shoot behind Jose, Farhad and John.


    boom!


    The next second, before the SWAT team members of Group A could fire, a muffled gunshot suddenly rang out, followed by a look of shock that did not understand why Luo An was so fast, and Jose, who had a bullet hole in the middle of his eyebrows, the gun When he landed, his body fell softly to the ground.


    ??The swat members of Group A who saw Luo An shooting were in disbelief. Lacey was also speechless. She felt that Luo An''s reaction speed was getting faster and faster. But now was not the time to discuss this matter, they immediately raised their guns and aimed at their last enemy, Farhad.


    ��*#%������


    ??Seeing the pursuers of Group A swat members behind them, and Luo An blocking the road in front, he only had a pistol in his hand, and Farhad, who had fired a few bullets just now, looked extremely ugly.


    "Hahaha��"


    ?John, who was lying on the ground, grinned widely when he saw this. Just as he was about to continue taunting, Farhad immediately grabbed John''s collar and pulled him up from the ground.


    Farhad hid tightly behind John, put a gun to John''s temple, slowly retreated to the left of Luo An and the right of Lacey and the SWAT team members, gradually leaning against the wall of the abandoned factory, and then faced everyone present shouted loudly:


    ��Don��t come over here! Otherwise I��ll shoot him!


    Make way for me! Let me leave! "


    ? Lacey and the swat members of Group A frowned when they saw this. John swallowed and said nothing, while Luo An smiled calmly while holding the SR-25:


    ��It was him you held hostage, why did you ask us to give way?��


    ��???��xN


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Lacey and the swat members of Group A were stunned. The kidnapped John��s eyes widened in shock.


    Farhad was at a loss for words. The intuition in his head told him that in a sense, Luo An''s words were correct and made sense.


    ��No, you...��


    boom!


    Farhad was stunned for a few seconds and was about to continue yelling. At this moment, a familiar muffled gunshot sounded again, followed by an unbearable sense of pain from his right hand.


    "ah-"


    When Farhad didn''t react, Luo An shot Farhad''s right hand and shot him. Then he moved in front of John like a ghost, grabbed the pistol, and at the same time flew up and kicked Farhad hard. De kicked out.


    score


    Farhad was knocked to the ground hard. Seeing the dust stirred up, Team A SWAT members rushed forward and took out handcuffs to lock Farhad''s hands and feet tightly.


    Looking at John who was bruised and swollen, Luo An raised the corners of his mouth and asked with a smile:


    ��Are you okay, Mr. Rodriguez?��


    ����I��m fine.��


    John, who felt as if his heart was on a roller coaster, froze for several seconds before slowly shaking his head and answering Luo An''s question. Then he reached out and grabbed Luo An''s hands, expressing his gratitude to him sincerely.


    .


    At this moment, Lacey pressed the contact group and nodded, then walked over and said:


    ��The battle inside Factory No. 4 has ended. The SWAT team killed one enemy and captured two guys who tried to commit suicide. One of them was wearing a black hood and was suspected to be the boss of this group of shirt-wearing guys.��


    ��Well done.��


    ? Luo An nodded, calmly took his hand out of John''s hand, and then, under the admiring eyes of the SWAT members of Team A, began to briefly explain the follow-up content of today''s operation.


    After the order was narrated, Lacey and the SWAT members of Group A escorted Farhad away to stop the bleeding. Roan and John walked behind and asked solemnly:


    ��John, what��s going on today?


    ??Also, where is your daughter Carla now? "


    Hearing Luo An��s question, John Rodriguez��s expression changed and he sighed longly.


    On the other side, outside the industrial park, looking at Michelle holding a weapon in her hand, following him wherever he went, and not answering any questions he asked, Wande''s mouth twitched, and his face was speechless...

 Chapter 353： Belize, interrogation

    Chapter 353 Belize, interrogation


    Special Investigation Team, office area, the 20th hour when Kara disappeared.


    Three interrogation rooms were occupied by the young man in a suit, Farhard, who had finished treating his wounds, the man in the black hood, whose name was Maxwell, and John Rodriguez, who had caused a little trouble for their special investigation team.


    ?John''s boss, Wander, was sent to the office of team leader Potente Byrne by Luo An.


    After all, this case was handed over by Potente Byrne to the Special Investigation Team. Now that Roan wants to interrogate John Rodriguez alone, he naturally needs to ask Potente Byrne, who is higher than himself, to help deal with John''s superiors. .


    ??The first thing Luo An entered was the interrogation room where John was. He poured a cup of coffee and pushed it in front of John:


    ��Tell me, what happened today?��


    ��This is a revenge and trap against me.��


    John took a sip of coffee, and the bruised and swollen John smiled bitterly and explained:


    ��Farhad and the others are actually related to a certain operation that I handled before.��


    ?In John��s words, there were some problems in the internal environment of the country of Belize in the past few years. In order to protect a certain liberal democratic gang, they helped to ��weaken�� the hostile liberal democratic gang.


    Farhad is the son of a high-ranking member of the rival gang.


    ����


    After listening to John��s narration, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little confused.


    The reason for confusion is not that the mission mentioned by John is different from the mission mentioned by Wande before. It can even be said to be completely opposite.


    ??After all, Luo An had already thought about the fact that Wande was full of lies and would most likely lie to him.


    The reason that really confused Luo An was...where is Belize?


    It wasn��t until Luo An thought seriously for a long time and carefully recalled the map of America in his mind that he remembered that Belize is a very, very small country located below Mexico and above Panama. The official language of the country is English.


    Luo An nodded calmly. The Federation has always regarded America as its own backyard.


    ?Except for a cesspit called Haiti, the rest of the Americas have the shadow of CIA doing things. As long as the government of a certain country is not free and democratic, the CIA will bring freedom and democracy to that country. What John said is very reasonable.


    ? Luan has no opinion on the conflict between John and Farhad. Anyway, after this incident, John will definitely be censored, targeted and suppressed by the CIA, just because John has the experience of being captured this time.


    Roan now just wanted to know what happened to Kara, so he heard John continue:


    ��I received a phone call soon after Alan called me to tell me about Carla��s disappearance.


    The other end of the phone first sent me a photo of Carla, saying that Carla was in their hands, and required me to go meet them with five million dollars alone.


    For the sake of my daughter, I agreed to their request..."


    Hearing this, Luo An thought clearly about most of John''s previous actions. After thinking about it, he raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully:


    ��Did you see Kara when you arrived at the abandoned industrial park?��


    ?As a professional CIA, it was impossible for John to rush to the enemy''s location alone without seeing and confirming his daughter.


    As expected, John nodded and said in a deep voice:


    ��After arriving at the industrial park, a guy in the group who had a shirt on his head and couldn��t see his face gave me a real-time video of Kara��s situation.


    ??I said a few words to Carla and made sure that the video was not a recording and that Carla was fine, and then I entered the factory. "


    ?Then John was beaten up by the enemy and exchanged fire with the enemy.


    John was alone after all, and was quickly captured by the opponent. When he saw Farhad appearing in front of him, John finally understood who was behind the trap.


    Luo An took out a small notebook and wrote down what John said. After pondering for a few seconds, he raised his head and asked:


    ��So, you didn��t see Kara inside the abandoned industrial park at all, right?��


    John nodded silently, so he said before that this was a trap and trap specially designed for him.


    After asking John some questions again, Luo An stood up and left the meeting room after confirming that John was not lying about key nodes and main details.


    ??Pushing open the door of the interrogation room and walking into the office area, Luo An picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and asked in a deep voice:


    ��Mona, Michelle, how are you checking the black Buick car that the poisonous Dagny Moses mentioned not long ago?��


    Hearing this, Mona leaned back in her chair and spread her hands: "Sorry, I found nothing. I couldn''t find any clues about the car."


    Lacie shook the information in her hand:


    ��This is the information about the vehicles that Farhad and his group have rented these days. Isn��t this information helpful at all?��


    "No."


    Michelle shook her head, and Mona explained:


    ��None of these cars were the Buicks driven by Carla��s kidnapper.


    ?This means that either Farhad and the others used other cars that we haven��t found yet to kidnap Carla, or..."


    ?Luo An took over what Mona said:


    ��Either the real murderer who kidnapped Carla was someone other than Farhad.��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Mona and Michelle agreed deeply, while Lacey frowned in confusion.


    ��But John had a video chat with Kara in an abandoned industrial park, which shows that they are definitely connected with the people who kidnapped Kara... and the guns and equipment of this group are extraordinary.��


    ??Luo An briefly described the situation that John said and the state of the enemies during the action. After thinking about it, he asked:


    ��Mona, have you found out the true identities of Farhad and Maxwell?��


    "certainly!"


    ??Mona tapped her fingers on the keyboard, and Luo An leaned over to take a look. The content displayed on the computer was similar to what John said.


    Farhad''s father is the main leader of a gang in Belize. Maxwell is Farhad''s father''s most trusted subordinate and loyalist. Farhad himself has always been regarded as the successor of the gang.


    Since its establishment, the gang has been using physical persuasion methods to people in the country of Belize, but because it has never touched the bottom line of the federation, the federation has never paid attention to them.


    ?Until Belize''s father started to target the Federation for some unknown reason, the CIA headed by John immediately went out to support an opposing gang.


    ??Although this rival gang also uses heavy-handed tactics within Belize...


    In the whole story, there is no truly good person among the Belizean father, the hostile gang, and the CIA headed by John. Farhad comes to seek revenge from John, which is also a case of revenge after the fact.


    ��OK.��


    ?? After briefly reading the information from Farhad and Maxwell, Luo An raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, stood up and walked to the interrogation room:


    ��Lacie, come with me to see the Avengers�� mental journey.��


    "OK."


    Lacie smiled when she heard this, and immediately followed him with a small notebook in hand.


    ����


    In the interrogation room, young Farhad''s right hand was wrapped with a bandage, his left hand was handcuffed on the interrogation table, and his feet were also handcuffed together. He sat expressionlessly on the chair, looking at Luo An and He quietly. Lacey.


    ��Hello, Mr. Avenger.��


    ??Luo An handed the other party a cup of coffee, sat down on the interrogation table, looked at Farhad condescendingly, and asked with a smile:


    ��The information we have found shows that your father died at the hands of people in Belize.


    What do you think about this way of death? "


    Hearing this, Farhad''s eyes turned red instantly.


    ?Luo An smiled slightly. In matters like interrogation, you are not afraid of the anger of the person being interrogated, but you are afraid that the person being interrogated will remain motionless.


    It just so happens that Luo An has many ways to cause mood swings for a diehard like Farhard who is full of evil.


    It��s the fourth update, the boss doesn��t care about personnel T^T, just after the eleventh day, he started to tossing me again...


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 354： Principles of interrogation, findings in the interrogation room

    Chapter 354 Principles of interrogation, findings in the interrogation room


    Special Investigation Team, interrogation room.


    Although Farhad had been a gambler, treated ordinary people as nothing, killed many people, and forced women, he knew that he was a good person and had always regarded his father as his idol in life.


    ?So when he heard Luo An talking about his father, Farhad''s eyes suddenly turned cold and he wanted to kill Luo An on the spot.


    ��The eyes are so sharp.


    But unfortunately, looks can��t kill, so John is still alive and well. "


    Luo An didn��t care at all about the look in the eyes of a guy who was destined to go to prison. He left the interrogation table and sat back on his chair. Luo An crossed his legs and asked directly:


    ��Farhad, I��m too lazy to talk nonsense with you, let��s make a deal.


    ?You tell me who kidnapped the little girl Carla and where they are now. When the court is in session, I will tell the judge about your cooperation with our interrogation. "


    ?Thinking that Luo An was just talking nonsense, Farhad sneered and said:


    ��I want to see a lawyer, and I won��t answer any of your questions until the lawyer arrives.��


    ��Do you think a lawyer can help you clear your name?��


    Luo An chuckled and said:


    ��You led a group of gun-wielding thugs to kidnap and extort John, charged with violent assault, illegal gun possession and many other serious crimes, which have been perfectly combined with you.


    There is a high probability that you will be labeled a terrorist. In this case, how can a lawyer help you? Being able to enter Pelican Bay Prison is because the judge showed mercy to you. "


    ?Pelican Bay Penitentiary, California��s ��Tomb of the Living Dead.��


    To prevent prisoners from forming cliques and causing chaos, Pelican Bay Prison implements complete solitary confinement. Everyone must be alone in a room with only a small door, no windows, and is only 2 square meters in size.


    ?The prisoners are imprisoned for more than 22 hours a day, and they don��t see anyone at all except the prison guards who deliver meals.


    After listening to Luo An''s words, Farhad pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly slammed his bandaged right hand against the interrogation table.


    Bang!


    There was a muffled sound, and the wound on the right hand that had been shot before instantly burst open, bleeding again, and soon stained the bandage on it red.


    Farhad''s painful right arm trembled uncontrollably, then he raised his head and looked at Luo An, saying coldly:


    ��Mr. FBI, I��m hurt.


    According to federal law, I have the right to request a suspension of the trial and request a doctor to treat me. "


    Lacey was startled by Farhad''s actions, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly. She subconsciously turned to look at Luo An, only to find that Luo An was still sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, and the smile on his face did not change at all.


    ?Feeling Lacey''s gaze, Luo An gave her a reassuring look, then stood up slowly and said calmly:


    ��Farhad, have you ever thought about this question, why didn��t I have someone handcuff your injured right hand?��


    Farhad''s eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.


    As expected, Luo An continued:


    ��Even if you injure yourself again, you must stop the interrogation.


    ?This situation can only explain two problems..."


    Roan spoke at a leisurely pace. Lacey raised her head with confusion and waited for the next sentence. Farhad also endured the pain and stared at Roan, waiting for the other person to say the two questions he asked.


    ?Then... Luo An chuckled and changed the subject:


    ��Lacie, suspend the interrogation and call a doctor for Farhad. Don��t let people come back and say we don��t respect human rights.��


    After saying that, Luo An smiled at Farhad, opened the door of the interrogation room, and walked out leisurely.


    ������x2


    ??Seeing the closed door of the interrogation room, Lacey''s mouth twitched, but she still hurriedly stood up and carried out Luo An''s order.


    Farhad''s face darkened instantly. The pain in his hand was just a minor thing. The key was what did Luo An guess? He hates this feeling of half-talking!


    ?Thinking of what Luo An had just said and the look in his eyes at the end, Farhad had so many thoughts in his mind that he was confused and restless.


    In the corridor, Luo An left the interrogation room where Farhard was. Instead of returning to the office area, he directly waved to Michelle and entered the interrogation room with Maxwell, the man in the black hood next to him.


    ?Ten minutes later, the doctor briefly treated Farhad''s wounds, and Lacey sent the doctor away. As soon as she returned to the office area, she saw Roan and Michelle walking out of the interrogation room where Maxwell was.    "How about it?"


    Lacie hurriedly came up and asked:


    ��Did you get any useful clues?��


    ��No clues, Maxwell didn��t say a word.��


    ?Michelle handed the interrogation record to Lacey. It was full of Roan��s words, and there were ellipses below Maxwell.


    "All right."


    Lacey threw aside the useless interrogation record and continued to ask the question that had been swirling in her mind for a long time:


    ��Roan, what did you mean by what you just said to Farhad?��


    ��Two guesses. Although Maxwell never responded, his expression helped me verify that these two guesses were correct.��


    Luo An sat on the chair and asked about four major principles, called "rat principles".


    An abbreviated meme, "rat", also known as "MICE", represents the four most useful breakthroughs: money, ideology, coercion and threat, and ego.


    Use I and E when you encounter someone who is firm in your beliefs, and use M and C when you encounter someone who is not firm in your beliefs.


    ??Just now interrogating Farhad and Maxwell, Luo An found that these two people''s "faith" is very firm.


    Of course, based on the life experiences of these two people, it is absolutely impossible for their beliefs to be any ideology or doctrine. The only possibility is that someone has given them a guarantee after the "action failed."


    ��I mentioned John during both the interrogations of Farhard and Maxwell.��


    Facing the confused looks from Mona, Lacey and Michelle, Roan explained:


    ��But the expressions on the faces of these two men were only the regret of failure and resentment towards us, but not the disappointment that they could not continue to carry out operations against John in the future.


    ??And when I talked about the court and prison, the expressions of these two people did not change. They seemed not to care at all..."


    Hearing this, Mona and Lacey suddenly realized:


    ��You mean, Farhad and Maxwell actually have backup plans!


    And the person who implemented this back-up preparation was the man behind the scenes who provided them with weapons and equipment! He was also the one who kidnapped Kara! "


    ��That��s right.��


    ��But what is the mastermind going to do?��


    Michelle scratched her head and raised two questions of her own:


    ��And how can Farhad and Maxwell guarantee that the man behind the scenes did not lie to them?��


    ��The probability of prison robbery is not high, and those prisons are not vegetarian.


    ?However, in the process of escorting prisoners, there are not many opportunities to get hands-on. "


    ?Luo An picked up the tea cup and took a sip, pondered for a few seconds, and then said:


    ��As for the second question, it is our next investigation target: Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? What is his relationship with these two guys?


    ??Lacey, contact the federal Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security to find out how this large group of people entered the federal government.


    ?Mona, Michelle, you should carefully investigate the consumption situation, residence location and other information of this group of people in the Federation, and be sure to find out who is the mastermind behind this. "


    ��OK!��


    "no problem!"


    Seeing the three girls starting to get busy, Luo An put down his tea cup and nodded with satisfaction:


    In this way, we can not only investigate the case, but also have contact with other federal law enforcement agencies, killing two birds with one stone.


    ?Of course, Luo An couldn��t just sit back and watch the show when the three of them were working. He turned on the computer and found an extra folder on the desktop, and asked in confusion:


    ��Mona, what is this?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 355： Biology knowledge, who are Kara’s parents?

    Chapter 355 Biological knowledge, who are Kara��s parents?


    ��This is the investigation content of the black Buick car, and a little something I found on Madalyn��s computer when you were interrogating the prisoner just now.��


    ??In response to Luo An��s question, Mona didn��t even raise her head. She answered while typing on the keyboard of her computer:


    ��I haven��t looked at the contents in detail, but I took a quick glance and found that they are all photos and videos.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An nodded and began to carefully check the surveillance footage near Allen''s house, trying to find traces of the suspicious black Buick car.


    But unfortunately, a period of time passed and Luo An found nothing.


    ��It seems that the kidnappers are well aware of the surveillance near Madalin��s house.��


    ? Luo An whispered a few words to himself, thought silently for a few seconds, and began to check the photos and videos Mona said.


    The photos and videos are very messy. The scenes inside include not only photos of Carla and Madalyn��s life, travel photos, videos of playfulness, but also surveillance records of the nanny taking care of Carla.


    Luo An judged that this was secretly recorded by Madalin when she was inspecting the nanny, in order to prevent the nanny from misbehaving.


    Continuing to scroll down, John''s shadow gradually appeared in the photos and videos. Considering that the real target of Farhad and his group was John, Roan began to check carefully to see if he could find any useful clues in the videos.


    ?Most of these photos and videos are also records of Madalyn and John��s life and travels. It can be seen that they have a good relationship with each other. There are even several relatively intimate videos between the couple.


    ? Luo An, whose head was full of black lines, was about to turn off the video, but suddenly he frowned and discovered some problems.


    ��Luo An, over there at the federal customs...��


    At this moment, Lacey came over with a folder, and when she saw the video scene on Luo An��s computer, she raised her lips:


    ��It��s not good to peek into the private life of the person who reported the crime.��


    ��Don��t make jokes, you know that��s not what I meant.��


    glaring at Lacey, then Luo An asked in a serious voice:


    ��Let me ask you a question, when was Carla born?��


    ��July 23, the time is 1999.��


    Lacey always remembered the basic information of the missing person very clearly. After answering Luo An��s question, she asked doubtfully:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��But the time in the video is March 1999.��


    Luo An pointed to the time recorded in the corner of the video recording on his computer, crossed his arms, and said softly:


    ��Pregnant women can indeed have appropriate intimate activities with their husbands during pregnancy, but Ms. Madalyn in the video has a very flat belly.��


    "Wow."


    ??Lacie quickly returned to her seat and checked Kara''s basic information. After confirming that she was correct, Roan also pulled Mona over and asked her to check whether the video had been tampered with.


    It was confirmed that both clues were normal. Mona and Michelle were very surprised:


    ��So, Kara isn��t actually John and Madalyn��s child?��


    Lacie spread her hands:


    ��Physiologically speaking, it is impossible for a pregnant woman to lose weight and still have small abdominal muscles before the baby is born.��


    ��It��s not physiology, it��s common sense.��


    ??Luo An drank the tea in the cup, left the chair and walked into the interrogation room where John was with Lacey.


    ����


    ��We have checked and there is no record of Carla being adopted, which means she is not an orphan.��


    Roan showed the screenshot of the video to John, and Lacey asked:


    ��Could you please explain it?


    Because from a physiological or other point of view, Carla cannot be your biological daughter. "


    ����Kara is my biological daughter!��


    John glared at Lacey fiercely. When he saw the way Luo An looked at him, he was silent for a long time and said:


    "At that time, I needed to leave the Federation to perform a mission, so I told Madalyn that I wanted to have a child. Madalyn loved me very much, and she agreed, but we tried many methods without success, and finally The doctor told us that there was a congenital problem with Madalyn��s eggs and she would never be able to conceive a child in her lifetime.��


    After listening to John��s narration, Lacey said nothing, and Roan continued to ask:


    ��Where did Kara come from?��


    ��Surrogate (rhymed)��


    John sighed and continued:


    ��After learning that she had a physical problem, Madalyn��s mood swings were very big. She loved me very much, so she made this suggestion.��


    Surrogate is illegal in many countries in the world. After all, it involves many issues such as ethics.


    ?However, after all, the Federation is several versions ahead of other countries in the world. This matter is legal and compliant in many states of the Federation, and these states have also established special legal provisions and basis to protect the interests of both parties.


    Lacie thought for a while and asked:


    ��Is it physical contact? Or test tube?��


    ��Of course it��s a test tube!��


    John��s eyes suddenly widened:


    ��I love Madalyn! I have never betrayed her!��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An patted Lacey''s arm and finally asked:


    ��Who was the woman who provided the egg and uterus? What was her name?��


    ��Her name is Belva, she is a college student.��


    John didn��t hesitate and directly said the other party��s name and the reason for doing so:


    ��She agreed to Surrogate mainly to earn money for college tuition.��


    ����


    ? Luo An was a little speechless. The federal university tuition fees are indeed an eternal pain for ordinary people in the federation.


    ?As far as ordinary public universities in the federation are concerned, children from ordinary families have only two options, either they can spend US$30,000 to US$50,000 per semester to pay tuition, or they can apply for university student loans.


    ?The federal university student loan is world-famous. If nothing else happens, as long as the application is successful, you will need to spend the rest of your life repaying it.


    ?One of the most famous things is that a certain president did not pay off his college student loans until he became the official president, which took a total of 21 years.


    ?Many college students have used various methods to solve their student loans, and many of them are independent.


    ��But Belva is dead.��


    Just when Luo An wrote down the name and planned to look it up again, John continued to add:


    ��When Carla was one and a half years old, Madalyn and I received news from the agency that Belva was involved in a car accident on her way home from college and died on the spot.��


    ��Such sad news.��


    ??Lacie frowned when she heard this, and Luo An''s writing movement also paused slightly, and some thoughts in his mind were temporarily put aside.


    ??Continuing to ask John some questions, as soon as Luo An and Lacey walked out of the interrogation room, the team leader Potente Byrne and John''s boss Wander walked into the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team one after another.


    ��Thank you for your hard work.��


    Potente-Bourne nodded to the busy Mona and Michelle, then walked to Roan and asked:


    ��How��s John Rodriguez doing here?��


    Luo An gave Lacey a look. Upon seeing this, Lacey immediately took the interrogation record and walked to the side to investigate the situation of Belva with Mona. Roan glanced at Wander behind Potente Bourne and smiled. asked:


    ��The investigation has not been completed yet. After all, John is the father of the missing Carla, and his help is still needed for many things.��


    Potente-Bourne frowned slightly and said nothing, while Wander walked forward quickly. Just as he was about to speak, Mona and Lacey on the side suddenly raised their hands and said loudly:


    ��Luo An! We have discovered something here!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 356： Negotiations, gains, and problems with Wande

    Chapter 356: Negotiations with Wande, gains, and problems


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    Hearing what Mona and Lacey said, Luo An did not rush over to check the situation. Instead, he looked at Wande with a smile and asked:


    ��What��s the problem, Mr. Wander?��


    Wan De had no expression on his face and said directly:


    ��There are some things we need to ask John here, so����


    ��OK, no problem!��


    Before Wan De finished speaking, Luo An chuckled, nodded and said:


    ��John is in the interrogation room now. The interrogation room can be lent to you for as long as you want.��


    ??Seeing Luo An pretending to be confused, team leader Potente Byrne raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said nothing. Wande''s eyebrows twitched, he took a deep breath calmly, and continued:


    ��I need to bring John back to cia temporarily.��


    ��So that��s how it is.��


    ?? Luo An had a look of realization on his face, and then under Wande''s unblinking gaze, he shook his head and said:


    "no."


    It is said to be "temporary" now, but it will not be certain after the person is in their hands.


    ����


    Luo An didn''t care at all about Wande''s gloomy expression and pretended he didn''t see it.


    ?Judging from Farhad and Maxwell in the other two interrogation rooms, this kidnapping and murder case was obviously a case of the CIA and others engaging in trouble outside the federation, but they were retaliated by the enemy after they pursued them into the federation.


    To put it in a harsher way, this case was basically Luo An��s special investigation team wiping their CIA��s butt.


    Forget about wiping his butt, now Wander wants to open his mouth and take John Rodriguez away in his hand... Luo An snorted coldly, how can there be such a good thing in this world, the special investigation team also There is no habit of "suffering a loss is a blessing".


    Luo An said that he was short-sighted and should leave such a great blessing to others.


    Wan De also had no good solution to Luo An who refused to give in. It was simply unrealistic to rob people.


    Originally, Wander had planned to persuade Potente Byrne to order Luo An to release the people, but Potente Byrne was an old fox. If Wande hadn''t reacted quickly, Potente Byrne might have led him away. Into a ditch.


    After a long silence, Wande walked to Luo An and whispered:


    ��I heard that Washington is planning to inspect you, the leaders of the special investigation team, in the near future.


    ?Through our cooperation on this case, we at the CIA feel that Luo An has excellent abilities in all aspects and can definitely be promoted to the official leader of the investigation team. "


    Wande said that he could support Washington in helping Luo An become a regular official.


    Luo An smiled:


    ��Thank you CIA for your evaluation of me.


    But I believe that most of the FBI officers have a clear idea of ??what my abilities are, so I won��t bother you to help. "


    Holding Veranith''s thigh, relying on Mr. Clement''s support, and relying on his performance in so many cases, Luo An dare not say that he will be promoted to the leader of the special investigation team 100% , but the chance is only 90%.


    ?In this case, do you need Wande, the CIA, to come forward to help? Is this the FBI''s special investigation team or their CIA''s special investigation team?


    ? What''s more, the CIA has always been known for its habit of lying and its speed of changing faces. Luo An doesn''t believe their empty words.


    The speaker of the federal government who was deceived by an old witch in later generations is a living example.


    Wande, who understood the subtext of Luo An''s words, remained calm and continued to say a few empty words. When Luo An continued to shake his head, he finally turned pale and asked:


    ��I don��t know what deputy leader Greenwood means?��


    ?Just now, I was called Luo An, and now I am the deputy team leader Greenwood.


    ??Glancing at Wande calmly, Luo An opened his mouth and said:


    ��In order to investigate this case, our special investigation team��s bus was damaged in many places and can hardly be used.


    ??The equipment in the equipment library has also been lost a lot, and the ones that have not been lost are also old weapons and equipment that are about to be phased out..."


    ? Luo An said a lot, but the meaning behind his words was very simple: I want a new car! Need new equipment!


    ?It is unrealistic to ask for money directly. It is impossible for Wande to take money out of his own pocket, and it is even less possible to use the CIA''s public accounts.


    So instead of asking for money, it is better to change the form of money, which looks good and has a high success rate.?????����


    ?? Thinking of the SUV he had ridden in not long ago, as well as the equipment and weapons that Luo An and Lacey had worn before, Wande''s eyelids twitched, and he didn''t understand how Luo An could open his eyes and tell lies...


    ??No wonder he can become the head of the special investigation team at such a young age!


    ?Thinking of this, a flash of regret flashed in Wande''s eyes. Luo An was still a talent for working in the FBI. He was obviously a good candidate for their CIA.


    John was captured after all, and no one knew what he said. The longer the delay, the worse it would be for the CIA. Wande pondered for a few seconds and whispered:


    ��An SUV, some new weapons and equipment.��


    ? Luo An has no objection to the quantity and style of weapons and equipment mentioned by Wander, but he has his own ideas about SUVs:


    ��Five SUVs.��


    "impossible!"


    Wande widened his eyes and refused sternly. Let��s not talk about how much five SUVs cost. Your special investigation team only has four people. Why do you need so many cars?


    Luo An raised his eyebrows and whispered:


    ��Four people each have one car, and the rest are kept as spare cars.


    ??After all, our special investigation team often handles difficult and complicated cases, so it is normal to need a backup car. "


    Looking at the upright Luo An, Wande felt that his tooth hurt a little. He was silent for a few seconds and whispered:


    ��Two cars!��


    ��Four cars!��


    ��Three cars!��


    "make a deal!"


    ����


    ?Seeing Luo An agreeing so quickly, Wan De''s old face twitched. Just as he was about to speak, Luo An continued in a low voice:


    "By the way, you just said that you support me becoming a team leader...after all, it''s just empty talk. You might as well just write a report or explanation."


    ??Luo An didn��t really want Wande to help him become a regular person, but if someone said that the special investigation team he led had too little contact with other federal law enforcement agencies, he would throw what Wande wrote in front of those people:


    Look, CIA certified! The law enforcement agencies that have cooperated with the special investigation team led by Luo An all said yes!


    ����


    After hearing what Luo An said, Wande was silent for a few seconds, sighed silently and nodded in agreement.


    ?His previous judgment was wrong. Luo An was not a good candidate to join the CIA at all.


    On the contrary, as long as Luo An is thrown into cia, he will be able to start working immediately!


    After Wander''s matter was settled, John Rodriguez was escorted away. Luo An briefly chatted with Potente Byrne, the smiling team leader, and finally turned around and walked towards Mona and Mona in the office area. Lacey.


    ��Now the special investigation team has two SUVs, plus the three SUVs we just got. In the future, each person will have one SUV, and there will be one left..."


    Luo An briefly calculated the harvest in his mind, then walked to the two girls with a smile and asked:


    ��What is the discovery you just mentioned?��


    ��It��s related to the clues Lacey found before.��


    ??Mona was a little confused as to why Luo An was so happy, but she didn��t ask in detail. She pointed to the information on the computer and said:


    ��Lacie previously found out from the Federal Customs and Border Protection that Farhad and the others entered the Federation a year ago.


    Helping them enter the federal government was an underground gang in southern California whose main business was smuggling and smuggling called "Cullio"..."


    ��Pause, I have a question.��


    ? Luo An stood up in a T-shape with his hands and looked at Lacey in confusion:


    ��How did the federal Customs and Border Protection agency know and confirm that it was the ��Culio�� gang that assisted Farhad and the others to enter the federation?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 357： Evidence, the real mastermind

    Chapter 357 Evidence, the real mastermind


    "Forehead��"


    ??Regarding Luo An��s question, Lacey��s face had a strange expression:


    ��The reason given by Customs and Border Protection is that they have an undercover agent in the Coolio gang, and this information was confirmed by the undercover agent.��


    If the undercover had used it like this, he would have been dead long ago.


    ? Luo An was a little speechless: "What''s the real reason?"


    ��The real reason is most likely that the Coolio Gang has been in contact with Customs and Border Protection.��


    Lacey did not answer. Michelle next to her raised her hand and explained calmly:


    ��I��ve seen this happen with the FBI, because there are so many people sneaking into the federal government every year, and Customs and Border Protection has no way of determining who is an ordinary person and who is a terrorist.


    ?For the sake of "federal security," some people in Customs and Border Protection will work with certain gangs on the border:


    Gangs tell people who are smuggled into the federal government who they are. When Customs and Border Protection officers arrest the smugglers and deport them or throw them into jail, they also reduce the targeting and investigation of these gangs. "


    ����and then Customs and Border Protection gets the credit, and if the smugglers still want to come into the Commonwealth, the gangs can make another profit, right.��


    Luo An was speechless. He could only say that this is a capitalist country where everything is about money. This kind of operation of eating two things for one fish is really reasonable in the federal territory.


    ?Waving his hands, Luo An threw this matter behind his mind:


    ��Let��s talk about the clues you found.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona continued talking to the computer:


    ��After Farhad and the others entered the Federation, there was no trace of them for a long time.


    But it��s impossible for so many people to leave no trace at all, so I carefully checked where Customs and Border Protection said Farhad and his companions entered the Federation.


    In a small town ten miles away, I found the driving records of two tour company buses.


    Records show that one of the buses was Farhad''s group, and their identities in the travel company were listed as company employees. "


    ��Well done!��


    ??Luo An clapped his hands and smiled, and Michelle next to him continued:


    ��I checked this travel company, and internal FBI information shows that this travel company is just a small company under the ��Mueller Group�� in California.��


    ��This Muller Group has been very interesting recently.��


    As soon as Michelle finished speaking, Lacey handed a copy of the news to Roan and said with a smile:


    "Old Muller, the founder of the Muller Group, passed away nine months ago. In his will, he distributed all his property to his immediate family members in proportion, and stipulated that only his immediate family members were eligible to receive it from him. everything.


    But within these six months, Lao Muller''s two sons and their family members died one by one. At present, all immediate family members have passed away.


    ?The only one left is not a direct relative of Muller, but he is his last wife, 37-year-old Jessenia. "


    ��Wow, what a cruel woman.��


    ? Luo An was speechless as he looked at the woman on the news.


    ??Although according to other FBI investigations, the death of Old Muller''s immediate family members was not directly related to her, she is the biggest profiteer at the moment, and it is difficult not to doubt her.


    ?Looking at the contents of the news carefully, Luo An continued to ask:


    ��What is the connection between this matter and our case?��


    ��Two very big connections.��


    ??Mona tapped her fingers quickly on the keyboard, and a tree diagram was quickly displayed on the computer screen. She pointed at Old Muller at the top of the tree diagram and said:


    "Old Muller had a total of two sons in his life. The eldest son had a son and a daughter, while the second son only had a wife and no children. But in fact, the second son liked to play very much when he was young. He made a lot of jokes and even It has enlarged the belly of many young girls.


    ??These girls basically aborted their second son''s children after taking a large sum of money, under the surveillance of the Muller family, except for a girl named Elda Brown, who disappeared. "


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��I remember Belva��s full name, which is Belva-Brown.��


    ��Yes, Belva is Elda Brown��s daughter.��


    ??Mona placed the ID photos of the two women together, and took out the photo of Old Muller��s second son:


    ��So, Belva is actually the illegitimate daughter of the second son.


    ?Berva is dead, but the child Carla she gave birth to by providing her eggs and uterus is the only fourth-generation direct family member left by Muller.


    He is also the only person currently qualified to inherit everything from Old Muller according to his will. "


    After listening to Mona��s narration, Luo An threw the newspaper aside and then asked:


    ��Are Jessenia and Farhad related?��


    ��Jesenia doesn��t have it, but her uncle does.��


    Michelle handed a folder to Luo An and said:


    ��Jesenia��s uncle was from a political family belonging to a certain party in Belize and had a close relationship with Farhad��s father.��


    ��The age difference between Jessenia and Farhad is less than 10 years, so there is every chance that they know each other.��


    After Michelle finished speaking, Lacey poured two cups of coffee and handed them to Mona and Michelle, then looked at Roan and concluded:


    ��Through many years of business, Jesseniya successfully took the position of Old Muller��s last wife... Maybe Old Muller��s death was also related to her.


    Dafu Hao had a pre -marital agreement during his lifetime, and Old Laler died without much money.


    ??But as long as all of Old Muller''s immediate family members disappear, then as his last wife and having been in business for so many years, Jessenia will have too much maneuverability.


    It happened that Farhad''s father died, and only revenge was on his mind. Jessenia could use this matter as an exchange to let him kill people.


    ??Now it seems that as long as Old Muller''s fourth-generation direct relative Carla is killed, Jessenia''s plan to occupy the magpie''s nest will be completely successful. "


    This is also the reason why Farhad is not panicked about going to jail, because as the person who specifically did it, Jessenia will definitely send someone to rescue him, otherwise Farhad will tell the story, and Jessenia will The plan completely failed.


    ?After listening to Lacey��s summary based on the evidence they had on hand, Mona and Michelle nodded repeatedly while looking solemn.


    ??They are all women, and they admit that Jessenia��s heart is much crueler than theirs, and her methods are harsh enough.


    Looking at the information compiled by Mona, Michelle and Lacey in front of him, Luo An pondered for a long time, slowly shook his head and said:


    ��There is also a probability that Jessenia will not kill Kara at the moment, but will temporarily control Kara for a period of time.��


    Moving the six-year-old child Carla out, letting her stabilize the Muller Group first, and inherit everything from the old Muller, and then slowly digest Carla''s wealth later, this is far more in line with Jay''s decision than killing Carla directly now. Xenia''s interests.


    Because as the immediate family members of the old Muller queue up to die as if they were cursed, the Muller Group''s stock price and economic situation have begun to have problems. Jessenia wants to inherit the building, not the ruins.


    Lacie and Michelle pondered for a few seconds and nodded. Roan''s analysis did make sense, but Mona spread her hands:


    ��So, what do we do next?��


    ?With the financial resources Jessenia now has, she has every means to say that Carla was ��rescued from the robbers with money�� by her.


    ��It��s very simple.��


    ?Luo An pondered for a while and then suddenly laughed:


    ��Remember why we formed the Special Investigations Unit? It��s time to partner with the rest of the federal law enforcement community.��


    ��???��x3

 Chapter 358： Luo An dug a hole, the confrontation at the shareholders meeting

    Chapter 358 Luo An digs a hole and the confrontation at the shareholders�� meeting


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    Roan did not explain in detail to the confused looks from Mona, Lacey and Michelle. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and left the office area, and started to make a call:


    ��Wander? Yes, it��s me, Roan Greenwood.


    I have something good to say to you...I didn��t lie to you, how could I lie to others? It��s really a good thing..."


    "Sir Elmer? Hello, I''m Roan Greenwood. I have a case here that I think you might be interested in..."


    ?Seeing Luo An standing next to the coffee machine and talking on the phone with a friendly smile on his face, Michelle still tilted her head in confusion. Seeing this, Lacey patted Michelle''s arm and whispered:


    ��Did you see the expression on Luo An��s face clearly? Be careful with this expression. It means Luo An is going to dig a hole for others again.��


    ?Michelle was a little surprised when she heard this, Mona was speechless, and when Lacey was about to continue talking, Luo An turned around after making the phone call and said with a smile:


    ��Lacie, Michelle, there is something you need to do tomorrow.��


    "What''s up?"


    ?Luo An did not answer immediately, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.


    ����


    The 28th hour when Kara disappeared.


    ? Pleasanton is located in the heart of the federal state of California, about 100 miles south of San Francisco. It has very convenient transportation hubs with Northern and Southern California.


    The Muller Group is located in this city. At 9:30 in the morning, the group��s internal shareholders�� meeting was held. A group of middle-aged white men in suits and ties took their seats.


    ?Sitting at the head of the conference room was a middle-aged white woman wearing a women''s suit, with long red hair and a gentle face.


    ��Jacenia, why is there another shareholders�� meeting?��


    As soon as everyone sat down, an elderly white man sitting on the left side of the long table asked with a cold face:


    ��The current internal situation of Muller Group is very bad. You held a meeting to find out which branch has financial problems again?��


    Elderly white people don��t care about the Muller family. They care more about the interests at hand than the so-called ��sentiment.��


    ??If Jessenia hadn''t used coercion and inducement to divide the shareholders in the room, making it impossible for them to unite, the old white people would have gathered everyone to overthrow Jessenia.


    ��There is only one topic at the shareholders�� meeting today, and that is the issue of the Muller family��s shares.��


    Facing the cold treatment from the elderly white man, Jessenia smiled slightly and explained:


    ��As we all know, our Muller family members have encountered unexpected events in recent months, which has made it impossible to inherit the shares held by the Muller family smoothly, which has caused a lot of trouble for the Muller Group..."


    ??Jesinia did not blush or breath when describing these things, as if everything had nothing to do with her. She pretended not to see the shareholders on both sides of the conference table with different expressions, and continued:


    ��But fortunately, through my unremitting efforts, I successfully found a fourth-generation member of the Muller family, the only person who meets the provisions of Old Muller��s will and can inherit everything from him.��


    After Jessenia''s words fell, the buzz of shareholders suddenly sounded in the conference room. Some people doubted the authenticity of the identity of the heir she mentioned, and some people thought quickly and quickly guessed Jessenia''s true purpose.


    Without waiting for the shareholders to express doubts or other opinions, Jessenia clapped her hands with a smile, her voice fell, and the door of the conference room not far away was opened from the outside.


    ??Everyone turned their attention to the door of the conference room, wanting to see what the fourth-generation heir that Jessenia said looked like... and then they saw a group of guys in suits and ties walking in.


    Behind them there was a woman who was at a loss. In her arms was a little girl who was burying her head and not daring to speak.


    ��Good morning, Ms. Jessenia.�� At the front of a group of people in suits and ties was Lacey with short hair and a heroic face, and behind her stood Michelle.


    Taking out the FBI��s golden badge to show her identity, Lacey said expressionlessly:


    ��According to our investigation, Kara was kidnapped by robbers 28 hours ago and disappeared mysteriously. I would like to ask, why is she here with you now?��


    Looking at the female subordinate who was holding Kara and preparing to give the shareholders a surprise, Jessenia took a deep breath and her expression remained unchanged. She had already prepared and calmly explained:


    ��I also know the news about Carla��s kidnapping.


    ?For the safety of Carla''s life, I worked hard to find the kidnapper who kidnapped her, negotiated terms with the kidnapper, and exchanged 5 million US dollars for Carla''s life. "


    ?The people do not punish the officials, and Jessenia��s willingness to spend her own money to replace someone certainly did not violate any federal laws.


    The only problem is that Jessenia did not notify Kara''s parents immediately.


    But this point, Jesseniya can completely throw the blame to her subordinates and say that her delay in work has nothing to do with her.


    ? So after hearing Jessenia��s reasons, Lacey didn��t say much. She took a step back and gave up her position, and then a middle-aged white man with an unattractive appearance walked out:


    ��Hello, I am Elmer, the senior investigation team leader of IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division). We have some matters that require your cooperation in the investigation, Ms. Jessenia.�� (Chapter 193)


    ??The other law enforcement agency Luo An chose to cooperate with was the IRS, but it was the IRS''s Criminal Investigation Division.


    ??The reason is that on the one hand, Luo An and Elmer have met and had contact before, and on the other hand, the Muller Group is a large company, and the job of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division is to investigate these people.


    ??When the Muller Group is running smoothly, it is a bit difficult for the IRS Criminal Investigation Division to investigate them.


    ??But now that the old Muller is dead, the Muller family is in chaos, and the Muller Group is also in chaos. This time is just right for the IRS Criminal Investigation Division to launch an investigation.


    ??The IRS Criminal Investigation Division does not care about the specific reasons for the case. They only care about whether large companies have evaded taxes.


    ??But how could a large enterprise like the Muller Group not make "reasonable" moves in taxation?


    Hearing Elmer��s identity, all the shareholders present changed their expressions and turned their attention to Jessenia.


    ??Jesinia''s face also darkened. She briefly glanced around the shareholders at the conference table and quickly thought about who was behind the scenes. At the same time, she quickly stood up and walked towards Elmer, saying seriously:


    ��I will ask my lawyer, financial advisor and the company��s financial director to cooperate with your investigation, but I still have a shareholders�� meeting to hold, so����


    ??Jesinia��s plan is to first identify Kara and then identify herself as Kara��s guardian, so that she still has control over the Muller Group.


    ?But before Jessenia could finish her words, a woman who had kept her head lowered suddenly came out from behind Michelle, stared at Jessenia fiercely, and said coldly:


    "Jacenia! I am Cara''s mother, Madalyn Allen, and I accuse you of abusing Cara! I request private negotiations with you!"


    The sudden appearance of Madalyn Allen startled Jessenia, but with Madalyn making a big fuss, and Elmer, Lacey and others eyeing her, today��s shareholders�� meeting It definitely couldn''t go on any longer, so Jessenia had no choice but to announce the suspension of the shareholders'' meeting, turned around and left the meeting room with Elmer and others.


    ?In the conference room, all the shareholders looked at each other in confusion and looked at others with doubts, wondering who was responsible for this series of operations.


    The shareholders with evil intentions briefly discussed for a while. Just as they were about to leave, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a man with a bruise on his face walked in with a smile:


    ��Everyone, don��t leave in a hurry. Let me introduce myself. I am Carla��s father, John Rodriguez����


    ?At the same time, in the distance, in the interrogation room of the Special Investigation Team, Luo An showed the video surveillance to the man in front of him and smiled:


    ��Look, I didn��t lie to you.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 359： The identity of the kidnapper, Luo An’s serial plan

    Chapter 359 The identity of the kidnapper, Luo An��s serial plan


    ??The man sitting opposite Luo An in the interrogation room was the man in the black hood from the previous shootout in the industrial park, Maxwell, Farhad''s father''s subordinate and loyalist.


    ??The surveillance that Luo An showed him was exactly the scene of Jessenia being taken away by Lacey and the IRS Criminal Investigation Division.


    ��Do you know what the IRS Criminal Investigation Division does?��


    Looking at Maxwell, whose expression remained unchanged but the frequency of eye movements increased significantly, Luo An poured him a cup of coffee and explained softly:


    ��The main job of this department is to tax federal citizens�� income from all sources.


    This "all sources" can include smuggling, money laundering, robbery, drug trafficking..."


    ��OK! I know what the IRS Criminal Investigation Division does!��


    When Luo An said that Jesseniya''s financial situation had many problems and that she was now being targeted by the IRS Criminal Investigation Division and had no time to save them, Maxwell couldn''t hold him back anymore and raised his head to stare at Luo An. :


    ��What do you want to do?��


    ��I don��t want to do anything, I just feel unworthy for you.


    How much have you done for Jessenia and how much money have you made for her? The results of it? What did Jessenia give you? "


    ?Luo An chuckled, took back the surveillance camera in front of Maxwell and handed it back to Mona, smiling:


    ��Without Jessenia��s help, you and Farhad would have lived in federal prison forever for the rest of your lives.


    ?As far as I know, Farhad doesn��t seem to have any children yet, right? His family was completely over when he came to him.


    ??Moreover, he is less than thirty years old this year, and he is not bad looking. Those guys in federal prisons are easy to trick..."


    Roan''s interrogation method is very simple. Farhad only has revenge in his mind. Threatening him with Jessenia will most likely be of no use. Instead, it will arouse his resistance.


    ?Since Maxwell is a die-hard loyalist to the Farhard family, it is impossible for him to ignore Farhard''s lower body...the rest of his life.


    ?As expected, after listening to Luo An��s detailed description of the customs and customs in the federal prison, Maxwell��s face turned completely dark:


    ��That��s enough! What do you want?��


    ?Seeing Maxwell��s face, Luo An stopped talking nonsense and said directly:


    ��Tell me who the men who kidnapped Kara are and where they are.


    In return, when the court comes, I will ask the judge to get a better prison for you. "


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Maxwell sneered:


    ��Just help us fight for a different prison? I ask you to help us apply to the judge for the maximum reduction in sentence!��


    ��You know this is impossible, Maxwell.��


    Luo An spread his hands and said with a smile:


    ��How many people from the federation did you bring in this time, how many weapons and equipment did you bring, and how many people did you dispatch from the SWAT team? It��s not an exaggeration to say that this was a terrorist attack.


    I said I would help you fight for a new prison, which proves that I did not lie to you.


    ??If I said that I could successfully help you commute your sentence and get parole, would you believe it? "


    ����


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Maxwell fell silent.


    ?Although he wanted to curse, he had to admit that Luo An was right.


    The air in the interrogation room was quiet for a long time. After a long time, Maxwell sighed and said in a deep voice:


    ��In addition to a more comfortable prison, I have another request, that is, you must put me, Farhad, and the few remaining people in the same prison.��


    ?In addition to Farhad and Maxwell, there were three more lucky guys among the guys in shirts and hoods who were not dead.


    ??If they could be locked up in the same prison, Maxwell would have some confidence in protecting Farhard''s lower body...and the rest of his life.


    ?Luo An thought for a moment, then nodded:


    "OK, I will explain this to the judge." Seeing Luo An nod in agreement, Maxwell breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the coffee on the table and drank it in one gulp, and whispered:


    ��The guy who kidnapped the little guy was not one of ours, he was an extra guy that Jessenia found.


    I don��t know his name. I just know that he is a white man with no hair and no eyebrows.


    In addition, before taking action, one of my men saw the car he was driving and told me the license plate number of the car. "


    ��Good.��


    ??Luo An nodded with satisfaction. After asking for the license plate number, he immediately asked Mona to start investigating. At the same time, he called the portrait artist to come to the interrogation room as soon as possible to make a simulated portrait of the guy without eyebrows mentioned by Maxwell.


    ? With the exact license plate number, Mona quickly found the car before the portrait artist had finished drawing the portrait:


    ��The other party used a fake license plate, but it was indeed a black Buick sedan.


    In addition, the driving trajectory showed that the car drove directly to a small town south of Pleasanton on the night Kara disappeared. "


    "very good."


    ?Luo An bent down and looked at the computer interface carefully, and asked at the same time:


    ��Have you found out who is driving the car?��


    ��Of course! He was photographed getting out of his car to buy food in a parking lot in North Los Angeles.��


    ??Mona tapped her fingers quickly on Nianpanshan, and the ID photo of a guy without hair and eyebrows appeared on the computer screen:


    ��Kendrick, 37 years old, has been convicted of multiple crimes and is unemployed.


    ??However, the FBI database shows that this guy is suspected to be a killer. "


    ��It seems that the killer profession is really a blue ocean industry in the Federation.��


    Roan smiled and patted Mona on the shoulder, then took out his mobile phone and called the team leader Potente Byrne:


    ��Sir, we have found the guy who kidnapped Kara and killed the nanny, in a small town south of Pleasanton...��


    After all, Kendrick''s location is a bit far from Los Angeles. Instead of driving all the way to arrest him, it is better to directly ask the team leader for help and ask him to coordinate with the local law enforcement agencies to arrest the person.


    After Potente-Bourne nodded in agreement, saying that he would solve the matter, Roan hung up the phone with a smile. Mona raised her head when she saw this, and asked doubtfully:


    ��Why did you ask Lacey and Michelle to go to Pleasanton?��


    ��Delay time.��


    Luo An sat next to Mona, stretched his waist, and explained with a smile:


    ��The main purpose of doing this is to make Jessenia unable to do anything else.��


    Roan''s plan is simple, let Lacey...Michelle, Elmer and Kara''s mother Madalyn Allen interrupt Jessenia''s plan to establish Kara as the heir at the shareholders'' meeting, and herself as Kara Guardian Action.


    ??Then let Carla''s father, John Rodriguez, do this for Jessenia at the shareholders'' meeting, establish Carla as the heir, and establish himself as Carla''s legal guardian.


    As for whether that group of shareholders will refuse... there are various ulterior motives among the shareholders, and there are also many who are dissatisfied with Jessenia. As long as the interests are sufficiently divided, John, an experienced CIA and partner of a chemical company, cannot fail.


    ?At the same time, Luo An interrogated Maxwell himself, obtained information about the kidnapper, arrested him, and then tried to find a way to get the kidnapper to identify Jessenia.


    ?Hence, as the mastermind behind the scenes, Jessenia, with the joint identification of Maxwell and the kidnapper, will naturally fail completely and come to an end when she is unable to do anything else.


    Papa pa pa��


    ?After listening to Luo An��s explanation, Mona clapped her hands with admiration:


    "awesome!


    ? And Lacey was indeed right, once you smile so beautifully, you are planning to trick people. "


    Luo An: ������


    ?Two hours later, Luo An was waiting for news of the operation in the town when his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and found that the person calling him was Lacey.


    ?Luo An frowned slightly, is there something wrong with Pleasanton City?


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 360： At the end of the case, Luo An succeeded in one fell swoop

    Chapter 360: The outcome of the case, Luo An wins in one fell swoop


    Special investigation team, in the team leader��s office.


    ��This is Luoan.��


    Pressing the answer button on the phone, Luo An asked:


    ��How are you, Lacey? Did the operation go well?��


    ��The operation certainly went very smoothly.��


    ??In a corridor inside the Muller Group in Pleasanton City, looking into the room through the glass, facing Jessenia with a dark expression in the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, Lacey smiled and said:


    ��As expected, there are problems with Jessenia��s personal financial situation and the financial management of Mueller Group, and the IRS Criminal Investigation Division has begun to prepare to take action.��


    Thinking of this, Lacey felt great admiration for Luo An. She knew that Luo An knew Chief Elmer of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, but she really didn''t expect that Luo An could actually call him in for help.


    ��Good.��


    Luo An was slightly relieved when he heard that the plan went well, took the teacup that Mona handed to him, and then asked:


    ��How��s it going over there, John?��


    ��I called you just to tell you something about him.��


    When mentioning John Rodriguez, Lacey glanced at Michelle next to her and whispered:


    ��He has just successfully established Kara as the fourth generation legal heir of the Muller family.


    Until Carla comes of age, he is temporarily in charge of the Muller family''s shares on Carla''s behalf.


    Not only that, John also successfully convinced more than half of the shareholders to make him the president of Muller Group within the next year. "


    ?Thinking of John Rodriguez''s coercion, inducement, differentiation, and both soft and hard tactics at the shareholders'' meeting, the expression on Lacey''s face was very strange:


    ��Luo An, John is indeed an experienced CIA, his methods are flexible and powerful.


    ?But wasn��t John taken away by Wander of CIA before? How did you convince him to let him go? "


    ��I didn��t ask Wan De to release him, I simply provided him with a plan.��


    ?Hearing John''s performance at the shareholders'' meeting, Luo An smiled calmly. He had expected this situation.


    ?Handed a chair to Mona and asked her to use the computer to keep an eye on the situation in the town. Luo An briefly answered Lacey''s question:


    ��The reason Wande was eager to take John away was just because he was worried that John said something he shouldn��t have said during his capture, which would cause damage to the CIA��s layout.��


    ?So Roan briefly described Carla��s identity, the situation of the Muller Group, and the role that John could play in this matter.


    The Muller Group is a large group with companies and factories inside and outside the Federation. If John takes control of this group, the CIA will only have more options available when doing things overseas.


    ??As an old CIA, Wande only thinks about the size of the interests.


    ? Confirming that John''s control of the Mueller Group would bring greater benefits to the CIA, Wande immediately agreed to Luo An''s request.


    Not only that, Luo An immediately grinned when he heard Lacey say that John had a very good understanding of the temperament and background of each shareholder at the shareholders'' meeting.


    He did not give John any information about these people, so the information could only be provided by the CIA.


    As the actual operator of the matter, John will naturally not refuse Luo An and Wande''s request.


    ? On the one hand, Kara is his biological daughter, and it is a good thing for Kara to inherit the legacy of the old Muller family. On the other hand, John has no choice now. The CIA''s internal review and investigation is not a simple and interesting matter.


    ?The only problem is that as John''s control over the Mueller Group becomes deeper and deeper, he will naturally have conflicts with the CIA later, and he will be dissatisfied with the CIA''s control, and may even cause trouble.


    ??But what does that have to do with Roan? He didn''t force John to do anything he didn''t want to do. Luo An used his financial interests to promote the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS; he persuaded the CIA with the benefits of having multiple options when working abroad in the future; and he impressed John with his daughter and freedom.


    ??The special investigation team caught the man behind the case, found the killer of the specific operation, and also obtained several new cars and new equipment.


    Throughout the whole incident, except for Jessenia, the mastermind behind the incident, and those who worked for her, everyone else was very happy.


    Use visible benefits to drive others, and instead of blaming Luo An, those people will thank him.


    ?Luo An deepened his relationship with these people and left a good impression. With simple operations, he could achieve great results with one fell swoop.


    ������x3


    After listening to Luo An��s analysis, Lacey stood in the corridor, dumbfounded, and took a breath of cold air.


    ??Mona next to Luo An looked stunned at first, then a little shocked, and then her face gradually turned red. Looking at Luo An''s side face, her breathing became slightly faster.


    ?She likes Luo An''s strategizing style.


    ?Michelle''s eyes widened, and she realized that she still underestimated Luo An''s wisdom and methods.


    ??And Michelle also discovered something that Roan didn��t say and Lacey and Mona didn��t discover:


    ??This time the IRS Criminal Investigation Division has gained a lot from Jessenia and the Muller Group. When Luo An goes to the Washington headquarters, he will definitely receive recognition and support from the IRS, and Luo An has a higher chance of becoming a regular employee.


    ??Similarly because of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, turmoil within the Muller Group is inevitable.


    ??But the culprit who caused the appearance of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division was Jessenia. John can take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, master the Mueller Group faster, and the CIA will be more satisfied with it.


    ? So as long as Luo An opens his mouth, the CIA will never be stingy in supporting Luo An''s permanent appointment.


    ?Luo An has extraordinary intelligence, agility, and knows how to use office politics. He also has a backer and support behind him.


    The only thing that prevents him from becoming the leader of the special investigation team is his age and seniority.


    After all, Luo An''s promotion speed was so fast that none of the other nine special investigation team leaders were younger than 30 years old.


    But now we have the two big players, Veranith and Clement, the CIA��s approval, the IRS��s recommendation��


    ? Michelle swallowed. If Luo An couldn''t become the leader of the Special Investigation Team after going to Washington this time, she would never read a book again in her life.


    Michelle silently made up her mind. From now on, she would stay in this special investigation team. Unless Luo An drove her away, no one could pull her away!


    Gently pinching Mona''s face, ignoring her shining eyes, Luo An smiled and simply told Lacey to hang up the phone, and then called the southern town of Pleasanton to capture the killer Ken Operation Derek, call from SWAT team leader:


    ��The mission was a complete success. No one in the SWAT was injured. The target person was shot in the leg and abdomen and has been sent to the hospital for treatment.��


    ��Thank you for your hard work!��


    ? Luo An smiled slightly, asked about the action process and details, and then made an appointment with the leader of the swat team to have a drink together before hanging up the phone again.


    ?Throwing the phone aside, Luo An stretched his waist vigorously and sighed loudly:


    ��This case is finally over!��


    Snapped-


    ?The next second, before Luo An could retract his arms, Mona suddenly sat on his lap, and at the same time took out his tie and lightly tied Luo An''s wrists.


    ?Feeling the hands being controlled, Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly as he looked at Mona''s pretty face so close in front of him:


    ��Hey, this is an office. As you said before, an office can only be a working place.��


    ��This is your team leader��s office, not our office area.


    And as long as you don��t do the last step, you��ll be fine. "


    ?Mona bit her red lips and smiled, grabbed Luo An''s head and lowered her head to kiss him.

 Chapter 361： Aftermath of Arson, Head to Washington Headquarters

    Chapter 361 The Consequences of Arson, Heading to Washington Headquarters


    That afternoon, the killer Kendrick was sent to the special investigation team and quickly explained the entire incident.


    ??Jesinia was also temporarily taken away by the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service due to tax issues, along with her personal secretary and personal lawyer.


    ??These two people know the most. Given the federal social custom of giving priority to individuals, it is easy to imagine Jessenia��s ending. Federal prison is her destination.


    Chief Elmer of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CI) also called Luo An in the afternoon. While briefly explaining the situation, he did not mean to blame him. He also said to Luo An with a smile: "This will happen again in the future." Be sure to call me if you have any cases."


    ??The Criminal Investigation Division of the National Taxation Bureau is not afraid of tiredness or trouble, but it is afraid of not getting money.


    ����


    ??Luo An was speechless when he hung up the phone. At the same time, he had a new understanding of the style and power of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division.


    In the evening, before leaving get off work, Lacey and Michelle returned to Los Angeles.


    Since they had been dealing with this kidnapping case for three consecutive days, Luo An simply took half a day off, and the four of them came to work at noon on Thursday.


    ��I hate half-day vacations.��


    On the chair in the office area, Lacey yawned and took a big bite of Mexican chicken tacos. She looked very decadent:


    ��I can��t sleep well even if I��m lazy, and I can��t have enough fun even if I play.��


    On the chair next to her, Mona took a sip of coffee and said with a smile:


    ��Very good, then I will tell Luo An later that if there is another half-day holiday like this in the future, Lacey won��t have to take it.��


    Hearing this, Lacey''s eyes suddenly widened, and she opened her hands and rushed towards Mona:


    ��Wow, what a bad woman you are!��


    "Wait a moment!"


    Just when Lacey was about to pounce on Mona, Mona hurriedly picked up a burger from her desk and blocked Lacey''s mouth:


    ��I had a bad meal yesterday and am not feeling very well now.��


    ��Sorry.��


    ?Hearing Mona''s words, Lacey immediately stopped and sat back on her chair.


    ??Mona was slightly relieved when she saw this, and then glanced at the team leader''s office calmly and viciously.


    ??Yesterday in the team leader''s office, she only lit a fire but did not put out the fire. She was very happy to see Luo An''s anxious look, covering her mouth and laughing.


    ??Then last night Mona knew the consequences of setting fire randomly. Until now, she has not fully recovered and her legs are still a little weak.


    ?This made Mona suspect that this so-called half-day holiday was Luo An''s revenge.


    ��I have some stomach medicine here.��


    When Michelle heard Mona say that she was not feeling well, she immediately took out a bottle of medicine from her desk and handed it to her. Mona had a flash of embarrassment in her eyes, but she still said thank you.


    ?Michelle smiled and nodded, moved her chair back to her desk, and asked with some confusion:


    ��Lacie, why are you so sleepy?��


    ?During this half-day vacation, Michelle took a good nap after reading a book and is now very energetic.


    Without answering Michelle''s question, Lacey fell asleep on the table before she finished chewing the burger in her mouth.


    ����


    Michelle didn��t know what to say when she saw this. Mona patted her on the shoulder and said she didn��t need to worry about it:


    ��You don��t know about Lacey��s situation yet. She must have gone out with another girl last night.��


    "probably."


    Michelle nodded helplessly. She found that there were no normal people in this special investigation team:


    ?She Michelle likes reading very much and can give up other desires for reading;


    Lacie likes pretty girls very much. She feels uncomfortable if she can��t see a pretty girl for a day;


    ?Mona likes to use computers to hack into various programs. If she hadn''t been wearing an FBI uniform, she would have been imprisoned long ago.


    As for the deputy team leader Luo An... Michelle scratched her head. On the surface, Luo An seemed normal in all aspects, but in fact Luo An was probably the most abnormal one, but she hadn''t noticed anything unusual about Luo An. Thinking of this, Michelle asked:


    ��Mona, where is Deputy Team Leader Luo An? I haven��t seen him today.��


    ��He went to the team leader��s office.��


    ?Mona replied casually:


    ��It should be a matter for the Washington headquarters.��


    ?Michelle heard this and nodded and stopped asking.


    ??There is still a lot of work to be done in Kara''s case, and there are a lot of documents on the desks of the three of them.


    Seeing that Lacey was sleeping soundly, Michelle simply covered her with some clothes, then took several documents from Lacey''s desk and put them on the folders on her desk, and started to deal with them with her head down.


    On the other side, the team leader��s office.


    ??Team leader Potente Byrne handed a notice to Luo An, leaned back, and looked at Luo An with eyes full of admiration.


    As the team leader, Potente Byrne naturally knew what Luo An did in the second half of the case. With his rich experience, he quickly discovered Luo An''s successful operation method.


    After a brief analysis of the benefits and benefits obtained by all parties when Luo An did this, Potente Byrne sighed repeatedly.


    It is such a pity that such an outstanding talent is not his.


    ??Roan didn''t know what Potente-Byrne was thinking. He took the folder handed to him and found that inside it was the exact notice that had just been issued by the Washington headquarters, ordering him to go to Washington next Monday.


    ??The notice also briefly introduced the contents of the evaluation and inspection of the leaders of the special investigation team:


    In addition to reviewing and judging the cases handled by these special investigation teams in the past, there is also a psychological evaluation and an interview review.


    Psychological evaluation Luo An can understand and doesn��t care much.


    But here at the interview review, the notice did not specify the specific content of the interview assessment and what aspects were specifically reviewed, so Luo An raised his head and asked with a smile:


    ��Sir, what exactly is going on with this interview review?��


    ��It��s just a simple interview question.��


    Potente-Byrne chuckled. According to the regulations of the FBI, if you want to be officially promoted to a team manager within the FBI, you must have sufficient organizational and coordination skills, flexible adaptability and other professional means. This is what the interview will examine.


    ��Normally, there are seven interviewers, one chief and six assistants, and the questions they ask are the situations that are most likely to be encountered when handling the case����


    ? Potente-Bourn briefly described for Luo An some questions that he might encounter during the interview. They were not too difficult and were not a problem for Luo An.


    After listening to Potente Byrne''s description, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:


    ��I understand, thank you sir.��


    "Um."


    The two briefly chatted for a while. Potente-Byrne asked Luo An to hurry up and deal with the follow-up of the kidnapping case, and warned Luo An not to forget to bring his shoes with all the cases he had handled before when he went to the Washington headquarters. The examiner may ask targeted questions about the details of those cases.


    ��Okay, thank you sir.��


    ?Luo An suddenly understood and left the team leader''s office a few minutes later.


    Over the next two days, Luo An and the special investigation team have been dealing with the follow-up of the kidnapping case. However, this case involved many things. By the time Luo An and Mona went to Washington together, they were still not all dealt with.


    On Sunday, Luo An and Mona took a plane to the FBI headquarters in Washington.


    ?At the same time, while Lacey and Michelle were working overtime in the office area to handle the follow-up of the case, there was a sudden knock on the door of the Special Investigation Team.


    The two of them turned back together, and a familiar man appeared in front of them.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 362： Arrive in Washington and learn new information from the investigation team

    Chapter 362 Arrive in Washington and learn new news from the investigation team


    Federal Politics Center, Washington, Sunday.


    ?Before going here, Luo An had called Veranith. While exchanging feelings with her, he also asked sideways about the evaluation standards this time.


    Veranith did not go into details, but she said that she happened to need to leave New York on Monday and go to Washington to report work, and she would meet and chat then.


    ��So, Veranith asked to meet you?��


    After getting off the plane, Luo An and the two walked out of Washington Dulles International Airport, hailed a taxi and headed to the pre-booked hotel. After listening to Luo An''s account, Mona asked with some worry:


    ��There won��t be any problems, right?��


    ��It��s just an interview, what problems can arise?��


    ??Luo An put his arms around Mona''s slender waist and laughed, pointed at the scenery outside the car window, and said calmly:


    ��Don��t think about those things, just think about where we will go shopping and eat after we finish cleaning up at the hotel.��


    "you''re right."


    ?Seeing that Luo An was not at all panicked, Mona also let go of her worries and began to carefully consider the well-known landmarks in Washington, DC.


    Monuments, the National Mall, museums, and cultural venues such as the National Theater, Convention Center, and National Portrait Gallery are all places that tourists in Washington like to visit.


    The taxi arrived at the hotel, paid and got off. Luo An and Mona didn''t take any luggage. The hotel waiter came over and looked at it, then silently stepped back.


    ??Mona was carrying her satchel and was about to walk into the wine list, but found that Luo An was standing still, still watching the taxi slowly leaving.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Upon seeing this, Mona quickly walked to Luo An and carefully recalled the driver in the taxi just now. She had not paid much attention to him just now.


    ��It��s okay, I��m just a little surprised that we were so lucky to meet a taciturn taxi driver.��


    ?There are not many silent taxi drivers in the Federation, let alone taxi drivers in areas near scenic spots.


    ??Luo An smiled and shook his head, turned around and hugged Mona and walked into the hotel.


    ?Judging from the calluses on the taxi driver''s hands and body movements, Luo An could tell that the taxi driver was no ordinary person.


    At first, he thought the other party was coming for him and Mona, but the "emotional perception" in his mind found that the driver had no inappropriate emotions towards him, and there were no abnormal actions along the way. He dropped them at the designated location and left directly. .


    ??The Federation has had a lot of retired soldiers in recent years. There is really no other way. It is also a good choice to make money by taxiing. Maybe this is the case for this driver.


    Since the other party is not targeting him, Luo An, who is too lazy to meddle in other people''s business, will naturally not target the other party.


    ??? Borrowed a phone in the hotel lobby, contacted the law enforcement department in Washington, and briefly explained the taxi driver''s situation. Luo An and Mona walked to the hotel elevator while chatting and laughing.


    The taxi driver in the distance: ������


    Roan and Mona''s room is on the eleventh floor of the hotel. The two are now colleagues on the surface. In order to prevent anyone from looking for trouble based on this, superficial work still needs to be done, so this room is a suite.


    ?The price of the suite is slightly expensive, but it only lasts for two days. For Luo An, who has a small fortune, it is not too distressing for him.


    After entering the room to rest for a while, Luo An and Mona simply packed up their belongings and left the hotel to visit various attractions in Washington.


    ?Luo An himself has almost no artistic talent. The history of the Federation is too short and he does not have a deep understanding of it.


    ?Mona is similar to him. Various cultural landscapes are far less interesting to her than mechanical and electronic networks.


    So the two of them just visited a few scenic spots and went to a well-known restaurant in Washington to enjoy delicious food.


    In the evening, the two returned to the hotel suite and rested for a while until late at night.


    ??While Mona was asleep, Luo An felt a little hungry, so he went to the hotel''s 24-hour buffet restaurant to prepare for a late night snack. ��Deputy Team Leader Greenwood?��


    ?Just as Luo An was sitting on a chair in the restaurant with a knife and fork, fighting with the large pieces of steak on the plate, a strange man''s voice came from behind.


    ??Stop what he was doing and turned around, Luo An found that the person who came was a middle-aged white man with short brown hair, wearing glasses, over 1.9 meters tall but not much muscle. He looked very much like a scholar.


    ??Luo An had previously asked Veranith for names from other special investigation teams, so he quickly recognized the identity of the person:


    ?Ethan-Patel, head of the Special Investigations Unit of the FBI''s Chicago Division, is 36 years old.


    Chicago''s customs and customs are very famous throughout the federation. As the leader of the city''s special investigation team, Eason Patel looks like a scholar, but he has handled a lot of cases and dealt with all kinds of ruthless people. Quite a few.


    ��Hello, Captain Patel.��


    ?Looking at the other person smiling and extending his hand towards him, Luo An naturally stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said with a smile:


    ��I didn��t expect it to be such a coincidence that we actually stayed in the same hotel.��


    ��Not just us, but others too.��


    After shaking hands, Essan Patel sat down opposite Luo An with a glass of wine and said with a smile:


    ��In addition to me, Team Leader Phillip from Houston and Team Leader Wilson from Philadelphia also live here. We chatted together this afternoon.��


    ��Wow, looks like I missed a nice party, what a shame.��


    ?Luo An quickly finished the steak on the table, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other person, laughing and chatting.


    ?Eason-Patel speaks neither hastily nor slowly, and his tone is very kind, indeed more like a scholar.


    ?? Luo An was not sure what the other party''s purpose was now, and it was not appropriate to leave directly, so he started chatting randomly with the other party.


    Seeing Luo An taking the topic further and further, from the steak on the table to talking about the annual forest fires in federal neighbors, Eason-Patel looked at his watch and found that it was already early morning. The corner of his mouth twitched, he raised his glass and spoke to Luo An. An touched it and finally spoke to bring the chat to the main topic:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, what do you think of our ten special investigation teams?��


    ��Special Investigation Team?��


    ?Hearing Erson-Patel''s question, Luo An''s head moved slightly, but he did not answer, but asked:


    ��I wonder what Team Leader Patel thinks of the Special Investigation Team?��


    ?Ethan-Patel smiled slightly and did not answer:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, this is my question to you.��


    ��So that��s it.��


    ?Luo An suddenly realized and patted his head, then replied with a smile:


    ��I feel the same way about the Special Investigations Team as you do about the Special Investigations Team, Chief Patel.��


    ����


    ?Hearing Luo An��s answer, Essen-Patel couldn��t laugh or cry, and secretly thought:


    ��It seems that the information found is correct. Roan Greenwood is indeed a cautious and cunning little fox. No wonder he can control a special investigation team at such a young age.��


    Roan still had a smile on his face regarding Essan-Patel''s dissatisfaction. He now had no idea what Essan-Patel was thinking and what he wanted to do.


    In this case, naturally you cannot reveal your own judgment. Who knows whether the other party''s position will be friend or foe after speaking out.


    ?Seeing that if he didn��t come up with something, Luo An would definitely continue to pretend to be stupid. Ethan Patel stopped being the Riddler and directly revealed a piece of news in a low voice:


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, it is said that one of the reasons why the Washington headquarters summoned us here this time is to see if there is any need for our special investigation teams to exist.��


    Roan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He finally understood what Essen-Patel meant.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 363： Bargaining, Luo An counterattacked

    Chapter 363: Bargaining, Luo An counterattacks


    A hotel in Washington, a cafeteria.


    ?Looking at Essan Patel in front of him, Luo An picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his mind spinning rapidly.


    The special investigation team was established for two main reasons:


    ?First, the federal network world is developing rapidly, but the FBI''s case-handling methods are still somewhat outdated. The newly established special investigation team needs to innovate the FBI''s traditional case-handling methods and models, and is a pioneer.


    Second, the FBI often needs to cooperate with other federal law enforcement agencies when handling cases, but the failure of the other parties to cooperate will cause many problems. The special investigation team needs to find a new model for efficient cooperation with other law enforcement agencies.


    ?In the words of the other side of the ocean, these ten special investigation teams are ��pilot projects�� created by the FBI��s Washington headquarters.


    Because this is a pilot project, the Washington headquarters gave these ten special investigation teams a lot of authority, making the ten special investigation team controllers have much more power than before.


    When he used to work in the No. 5 Investigation Team, Augustus was responsible for the management work. In addition, he had been in the leadership for too short time and had insufficient experience. He was not particularly familiar with the twists and turns inside, so Luo An was very familiar with the special team. There is no particularly clear understanding of the investigation team��s excessive authority.


    But people like Eason-Patel are different. Before they became the special investigation team, they were the leaders of the front-line investigation team.


    ?After becoming the leaders of the Special Investigation Team, they immediately figured out how to "reasonably use" the power and authority given to them by the FBI headquarters in Washington.


    Once the seeds of power are released, taking them back will inevitably lead to resistance.


    Eason-Patel and others have this idea, so the special investigation team must not be cancelled.


    If we really want to cancel it, it can��t be done now... at least it must be canceled after they are promoted.


    ��What you mean by telling me this is����


    Roan''s mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the reason why Eason-Patel told him this. On the surface, he showed a shocked expression and put down the wine glass in his hand:


    ��Leader Patel, where did you hear this news? This is impossible! How long has our special investigation team been established?��


    ��No one can say for sure about this kind of thing.��


    Eason-Patel did not say where he got the information from. As for Roan��s statement that the special investigation team had only been established for a short period of time, he smiled disdainfully:


    ��Isn��t it rare that the group of people on Capitol Hill voted to approve the decision in the morning and then invalidated it in the afternoon?��


    "Forehead��"


    Roan didn��t know how to answer. Eason-Patel used the example of the Congress, and he really couldn��t refute it.


    There are too many things that change day and night, and members'' repeated jumps are just basic operations. For example, in the election for the chairman of the parliament, a certain member jumped between "elect" and "not elect" three times in half a day. The voters were left speechless.


    ��Deputy Leader Greenwood, I have heard about your deeds in Los Angeles. They are very admirable and powerful.��


    ?Seeing that Luo An was silent, Essen-Patel picked up the wine bottle and poured wine into their glasses and said:


    ��I believe you will be officially promoted to a regular employee this time and become the leader of the Special Investigation Team of the FBI��s Los Angeles Division.��


    "Thanks."


    ?Luo An smiled, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other person, and said with a smile:


    ��I wonder what Team Leader Patel means?��


    ��If the special investigation team is cancelled, wouldn��t your time have been in vain?��


    ?Ethan-Patel put down his wine glass, stared at Luo An and said in a deep voice:


    ��I have spoken with Chief Philip of Houston, Chief Wilson of Philadelphia and several other investigation team leaders. The Special Investigation Team is of great significance to the FBI and must not be canceled casually.


    Based on your performance during this period, the Washington headquarters will definitely pay attention to your opinions. As long as you tell them the importance of the existence of the special investigation team, plus our support, I believe that the Washington headquarters will give up this time. Eliminate the idea of ??a special investigative unit. "


    ?After listening to Essen-Patel''s words, Luo An sneered from the bottom of his heart, and his face instantly became serious. He raised his glass and said in a deep voice:


    ��Captain Patel, I didn��t expect you to have done so much for our special investigation team! Thank you so much for your hard work.��


    ?Ethan-Patel picked up the wine glass again and said with a smile:


    ��It��s all for everyone, as it should be.��


    Ding-


    The two of them touched their wine glasses, raised their heads and took a sip of their wine. Then they put down their glasses. Luo An nodded and said:


    "No problem, Team Leader Patel, I will definitely express my opinions to the Washington headquarters tomorrow." Essen-Patel raised the corners of his mouth upon hearing this, and was about to speak when Luo An asked:


    ��But what conditions do you offer me?��


    ����


    ?Ethan-Patel was stunned for a moment, then his face returned to normal, and he asked with a smile:


    ��What does conditional mean?��


    Luo An pushed the wine glass aside and said with a smile:


    ��I am the first person to express my opinions to the Washington headquarters. If you don��t give me some benefits, can you rest assured?��


    ��makes sense.��


    ?Ethan-Patel was moved in his heart, and just as he was about to speak, Luo An added:


    ��If it takes too long, don��t use it. It��s best to give it to me tomorrow.��


    ����


    ����


    As soon as the voice fell, Essen-Pat fell silent and looked at Luo An quietly. Luo An did not avoid it and looked back with the same smile.


    The air on the dining table was quiet for a long time. Essan Patel finally put away the smile on his face, glanced at Luo An coldly, stood up and left the place without saying a word.


    ��How rude.��


    ??Looking at the back of Ersan Patel leaving quickly, Luo An sneered with disdain on his face, stood up and went to get another piece of freshly prepared steak.


    ??Ethan-Patel''s words just now clearly meant that he wanted to use Luo An as a gunman and let him face the wrath of the Washington headquarters.


    Luo An was not a fool, how could he not see this clearly, so he took advantage of the situation and offered benefits.


    ??In fact, he had no intention of raising any objections to the Washington headquarters. He only planned to take advantage of the situation and use it to free Eason-Patel.


    Since Luo An��s current goal is just to become a regular employee, whether the special investigation team is banned or not will not have much impact on him. As long as he is successful in becoming a regular employee, he will still be the leader of the investigation team anyway.


    What''s more, Luo An doesn''t bother to use those tortuous things to benefit himself. The money is not as much as he made from solving the case.


    From the beginning, Eason Patel seemed to be planning to promise benefits to Luo An, but once Luo An said it took too long, it was not difficult to see that the benefits Eason Patel wanted to give Luo An were just empty words. vernacular.


    ?So when he heard Luo An put forward the supplementary conditions, Essen-Patel guessed that Luo An had already seen his thoughts.


    ?Finding that he was almost deceived and tricked by Luo An, he was embarrassed and found that his plan had failed. Eson-Patel naturally turned around and left here.


    ��I want to sell others and collect the money myself, but I also want to have no contribution, and I even want the person being sold to be grateful to me...��


    ??After finishing the new steak, Luo An drained the wine in the glass and looked at the place where Ethan Patel was sitting just now and sneered:


    ��This guy can��t be Jewish.��


    Silently putting Ersan Patel on the blacklist in his head, the petty-minded Luo An was ready to see if he could "help" Ersan Patel in the past few days.


    After eating and drinking, Luo An left the restaurant and returned to the suite, where he found that Mona was awake and playing with the computer.


    Hearing the sound, Mona looked up and asked:


    "Where have you been?"


    ��Let��s go have some late-night snacks and chat with a stingy guy.��


    ??Luo An answered with a smile, then sat next to Mona and asked:


    ��Why did you wake up?��


    ��Lacie and Michelle called me just now.��


    ??Mona covered her mouth and yawned, then pointed at the computer screen and said:


    ��They are in big trouble.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 364： FBI Washington Headquarters

    Chapter 364 FBI Washington Headquarters


    Hotel suite, early morning.


    ��Big problem?��


    Hearing this, Luo An frowned. Lacey and Michelle were members of the special investigation team. If they didn''t come to him as the deputy leader as soon as they encountered a problem, what would happen if they went to Mona?


    ��It��s not a work matter, it��s a personal matter for them.��


    ? Seeing that Luo An seemed to have misunderstood something, Mona hurriedly explained:


    ��Do you remember Lacey��s actress landlord?


    She went back to Los Angeles yesterday and sold the house. As compensation, the motorcycle was given to Lacey for free.


    ??The new landlord no longer rents the house and hopes that Lacey will move out as soon as possible. Lacey has no choice but to temporarily leave her belongings at Michelle''s house. The two of them have been busy for a long time today. "


    Lacey called Mona. She was calling the landlord of the house she wanted Mona and Roan to rent together. Lacey wanted to ask if the other party still had a suitable house.


    ��OK.��


    After listening to Mona��s narration, Luo An��s face relaxed and he smiled:


    "Had I known this would happen, I would have let you stay in Los Angeles. Our rental house can also help Lacey put some things."


    Michelle''s rental house is not big, and there are a lot of books crammed into it. Lacey''s things are all put in her place... It will be a problem for the two of them to sleep tonight.


    ��Life is always full of surprises.��


    ??Mona shrugged her shoulders, then suddenly remembered something and continued:


    ��By the way, Lacey just said on the phone that not long after we got on the plane to Washington, a man went to the Special Investigation Team office area.��


    Luo An looked confused when he heard this. Mona then said that the man was John Rodriguez. He came to the Special Investigation Team just to find Luo An. When he heard that Luo An was not there, he left, saying that he would wait until Luo An returned to the Special Investigation Team. Come again.


    After saying this, Mona looked a little nervous:


    ��Isn��t there still some unresolved issues in the kidnapping case?��


    "probably not."


    After pondering for a while, Luo An slowly shook his head:


    ��If there are any further developments in the case, John will definitely contact us directly by phone. There is no need to go to our door in person.��


    "That is how the matter?"


    ��If you don��t know, don��t worry.��


    ??Luo An didn''t panic. Anyway, the review at the Washington headquarters was completed today. He and Mona would be able to return to Los Angeles tomorrow. By then, the troops would come to cover up the water and the ground, and they would just have to adapt to problems when they encountered them.


    ��It��s time to get up in six hours, let��s rest first.��


    Luo An pointed to the clock not far away, stood up and walked towards the bed:


    ��When you enter the Washington headquarters for the first time, you must always leave a good impression on the people inside.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona closed her computer and walked to the big bed next to her with Luo An.


    ����


    Monday, 7 a.m., John Edgar Hoover Building, FBI headquarters in Washington.


    Wearing a suit and looking very refreshing, Luo An walked into the building and took a quick glance around. The interior and exterior decoration of the building gave him a rough feeling.


    ?Following the route given to him by Veranith before, Luo An soon found Veranith sitting on the sofa in an office, and also met an elderly white man sitting behind the desk.


    ?Seeing the face of the elderly white man, Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled:


    ��Good morning, Mr. Clement, Chief Verenice.��


    ??The elderly white man is the big leg behind Veranith, Mr. Clement, the director of the FBI��s Washington headquarters and special adviser to the director.


    ��You��re welcome, sit down.��


    Clement smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to signal Luo An to sit down, and then said:


    "Veranis is right, you are indeed a rare and handsome guy... It seems like this is the first time we have met." Roan nodded. They had many indirect contacts through Veranis before. This is indeed the first time we have met directly.


    ??Clement didn''t say much to Luo An. After simply praising Luo An''s performance, he left the office with his secretary and went to the White House with the FBI director. It looked like he wouldn''t be able to come back for a while.


    ?Seeing that Veranith had no intention of leaving the office, and neither Clement nor the secretary said anything, Roan did not move. He turned to look at Veranith and said with a smile:


    ��Sir, you look a little tired. You should take more care of yourself.��


    "Um."


    Veranith sat on the sofa, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and said softly:


    ��I read the case file report you handled after you went to Los Angeles, and you did a good job.��


    ��Thank you, sir.��


    Facing the more familiar Veranith, Luo An relaxed a lot and chatted briefly. He asked about the news he got from Essen-Patel yesterday:


    ��Sir, there is news that the Washington headquarters is planning to abolish the Special Investigation Team. Is this true or false?��


    ��Half true and half false.��


    ?Veranith put down her coffee cup and said directly:


    ��The vast majority of people at the Washington headquarters are satisfied with the performance of most of the special investigation teams, and a small number of questioning voices have been suppressed.


    ?But now there is another voice, which is to continue to expand the case-handling authority of the Special Investigation Team from a major federal city to a federal state.


    At present, the Washington headquarters has basically set the tone. They plan to select three out of ten special investigation teams and try to make these three investigation teams responsible for cases in a state.


    Of the remaining seven investigation teams, due to funding issues and the fact that several investigation teams performed mediocrely, the headquarters plans to cancel two to three special investigation teams and return them to their original ordinary investigation teams. "


    ��So that��s it.��


    After listening to Veranith''s narration, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the source of information from Essen-Patel was not accurate and he only knew half of the situation.


    ?In addition, on the surface, it seems that the responsibilities, authority, status, etc. of these three special investigation teams have been greatly improved, and the leaders in charge of the investigation teams have also become much more powerful.


    But cross-regional law enforcement is always a problem, even in the same state, because except for the state government and counties, which have a superior-subordinate relationship, other federal agencies perform their own duties and are not subordinate to each other.


    So the phenomenon of federal characteristics has emerged:


    Whether the president goes to any state or city, the governor and mayor do not care and are still busy with their own affairs. Essentially, this is because they do not have a superior-subordinate relationship.


    ��It seems that these three special investigation teams have much greater power, but the police where the case occurred, the local FBI, and other local law enforcement agencies will all have conflicts with these three special investigation teams.


    ?The cases handled by these three special investigation teams will also become difficult and complicated cases that cannot be solved by the above departments, or even old cases..."


    ??Luo An shook his head repeatedly. He had a small appetite and couldn''t bear this kind of blessing. It was better to let others do this kind of good thing.


    ?For example, Eason Patel is good. At first glance, he seems to be a person who does big things.


    "very good."


    Hearing Luo An''s statement, Veranith smiled and was very satisfied. She knew that Luo An was a smart person and would be able to distinguish the pros and cons of this matter.


    ?Verenice and Luo An both have the same goal now, and they both intend to take this opportunity to promote Luo An from deputy team leader to team leader.


    Since Luo An is still young, there will be plenty of opportunities to continue to move up. One step at a time is the safest way to go. There is no need to rush.


    As for whether the situation can be successfully changed this time, Luo An did not ask, nor did Verinis say. The fact that Mr. Clement met Luo An specifically today already explained a lot of problems.


    ?The time soon reached half past eight, half an hour before the nine o''clock review time stipulated in the notice. Luo An got up and left the office with Veranith.


    The two of them had not gone far when Luo An met several acquaintances.

 Chapter 365： Judgment and inspection, return to Los Angeles, unexpected encounter

    Chapter 365: Judgment and Investigation, Returning to Los Angeles, Encountering a Big Case Suddenly


    ��Good morning, Chief Trick Kennedy! Long time no see. Let��s have a drink together?�� (Chapter 221)


    ��Isn��t this Captain Levi? What case are you working on?��


    ��Volita Deputy, I haven��t seen you for a few days and you have become beautiful again!�� (Chapter 224)


    ��Good morning, Chief Elmer, why did you come to the FBI? Have you encountered any other cases...��


    Along the way, Luo An met many acquaintances. Some of them greeted him, and others greeted him.


    Veranis next to her twitched her mouth when she saw this. She was speechless and felt a sense of crisis.


    There is no doubt that Luo An is excellent. These people are not blind. They will not compete with him, right? !


    Veranis looked solemn, thinking about how to keep Luo An by her side. The other detectives passing by looked at Luo An curiously, and the other nine leaders of the special investigation team had complicated expressions.


    ??Most of the nine leaders of the special investigation team saw Luo An in person for the first time. They never expected that Luo An would frighten them as soon as they met.


    ?The team leaders have worked for many years, and there are many familiar people at the Washington headquarters, but most of them are not as high-ranking as the people Luo An knows.


    ?For example, at the FBI''s Washington headquarters, Deputy Secretary Trick Kennedy of the Insider Threat Office, all the investigation team leaders wanted to ask Luo An how he met him?


    When the other investigation team leaders saw this scene, they were just a little shocked by Luo An. However, Essan Patel, who had chatted with Luo An last night, his face instantly became extremely ugly.


    In Eson-Patel''s view, Roan knew so many people and obviously knew the internal situation of this review better than he did.


    Not only did Luo An not reveal anything to him, but he also watched him struggle for a long time as if he were watching a play!


    ??A flash of anger flashed in Esan-Patel''s eyes, but now was not the time for an attack. He suppressed the emotions in his heart and prepared to have a good chat with Luo An, build some relationships, and then...


    There are a total of twelve chairs in the waiting area. Luo An sat at the other end nine chairs away from Essen-Patel and chatted in a low voice with another team leader, completely ignoring Essen-Patel.


    Essen-Patel twitched the corner of his mouth and saw that there was an empty seat on the other side of Luo An. He stood up and was about to walk there when the office door in front of everyone suddenly opened from the inside. A young agent held a list. asked:


    ��Who is Team Leader Eason-Patel from Chicago? Please come into the office.��


    ����


    ?Ethan-Patel''s eyelids twitched. He never expected that the first person would be himself.


    ??As he walked towards the door of the office, Ersan-Patel glanced at Luo An subconsciously. Luo An smiled slightly and raised his arm to make a "come on" gesture to him.


    ��#%*������


    ?Looking at Ersan Patel entering the office with a dark face, Luo An smiled slightly and continued to chat with the leader of the investigation team from Miami next to him.


    ??The so-called evaluation and inspection did not take long. In less than twenty minutes, Eshan Patel walked out of the office. After several people came in and out, Luo An was the sixth to enter the office.


    There are seven guys in suits and ties in front of the office, one chief and six assistants, exactly as the team leader Potente Byrne said before.


    ��Deputy Chief of the Special Investigations Unit from Los Angeles, Roan Greenwood.��


    "Yes, sir."


    ��We have seen your information. You had excellent grades at the FBI training academy. After being assigned to the FBI New York Division, you quickly became a full-time official and entered the No. 5 Investigation Team of the Criminal Investigation Division.


    ?Not long ago, you were recommended to Los Angeles again to serve as the deputy leader of the Special Investigation Team, and you solved many cases during your tenure, which is enough to prove that you are a capable person. "


    The middle-aged white man sitting in the middle stopped after saying these words and looked at Luo An quietly. Upon seeing this, Luo An immediately began to talk about his thoughts:


    ��I can grow so fast in the FBI without the guidance of my superiors and the help of my colleagues. They have provided me with a lot and taught me through words and deeds how to work in the FBI.��


    ??The middle-aged white man nodded, and the other assessors began to write and draw on the paper. Luo An didn''t see clearly what they wrote. After the middle-aged white man finished writing, he looked up at him and continued to ask:


    ��What do you think is the most important thing for the Special Investigation Team?��


    ��Of course it��s the orders from superiors, federal laws, and the detection rate.��


    ?Luo An kept a calm attitude, smiled, and explained his views in a leisurely tone.


    The middle-aged white man nodded again after listening to Luo An''s words. His real thoughts could not be seen clearly on his face. After a few seconds of silence, he asked again: "As the head of the Los Angeles branch of the Special Investigation Team, what do you think about the Special Investigation Team?" Is the existence of the group necessary?��


    ����


    After hearing this, Luo An secretly cursed a few times, but his expression remained unchanged on the surface. He did not answer the other party''s question directly, but explained the special investigation team''s role in the Los Angeles branch of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles before and after its establishment. influences in all aspects.


    The content is clear and easy to understand. At the same time, Luo An also briefly introduced Potente Byrne, the leader of the investigation team from the Chicago branch, and greatly praised his ideas and attitude.


    ����


    After listening to Luo An��s narration, the middle-aged white man and the others looked at each other and had no questions to ask.


    ��Deputy Team Leader Roan Greenwood, your judgment and inspection are over. You will receive a notification of the results within three days. You can leave now.��


    ��Good sir.��


    ?Luo An smiled slightly, thanked him briefly, stood up and left the office.


    Veranith had already left, and Trick Kennedy and others were busy. Seeing this, Luo An had a brief chat with them, and then left this rough-style building.


    On Monday afternoon, Luo An and Mona left Washington on a plane. Not long after arriving in Los Angeles, Luo An saw John Rodriguez knocking on the door in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    ��You are really well informed.��


    ??Taking John Rodriguez into the conference room, Luo An smiled and asked:


    ��You wouldn��t send someone to keep an eye on the door of the FBI��s Los Angeles branch building, would you?��


    "No no."


    ?John shook his head repeatedly, and then said that he and many people at the Los Angeles Airport have a common friend, and this friend is named Franklin.


    ? Franklin, a well-known person in the Confederacy who dared to fight thunder and lightning. Another reason why he is famous is that his face has always been printed on the Confederate 100 face value currency.


    ?The other party is now the president of Muller Group, so taking money to open a road is nothing at all.


    ?Picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Luo An stopped talking nonsense and asked directly:


    ��What do you want to see me for?��


    ��As Carla��s father, I am here to express my sincere gratitude to you.��


    ?John stood up with a serious face, took out a folder from the handbag beside him and handed it to Luo An.


    In addition to a copy of a US$1 million "case handling fund" donated by a company under the Muller Group to the Special Investigation Team, there was also a personal check of US$3 million signed by John Rodriguez and Madalyn... Allen, Kara-M��ller.


    Looking at the three surnames of the family on the check, Luo An''s eyebrows jumped and he suppressed the complaints in his mouth.


    ??Didn''t take the check immediately, Luo An crossed his legs and leaned back tactically, looked at John, and asked with a smile:


    ��Just a simple thank you?��


    ��As expected of Deputy Team Leader Greenwood, I know I can��t hide it from you.��


    John laughed and sat back on the chair, picked up the coffee on the table and drank it in one gulp. He pondered for a while, and just as he was about to speak, the door to the conference room was opened violently, and the team leader Potente Byrne left with a serious face. He came in and said in a deep voice:


    ��Luo An, come with me quickly, there��s a big case happening outside.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 366： [Los Angeles Council Speaker’s Physical Secession Case]

    Chapter 366 [Physical secession case of Los Angeles Assembly Speaker]


    ?Monday, seven o''clock in the evening, an apartment in an upscale community in South Los Angeles.


    Because the team leader Potente Byrne appeared, John immediately stopped talking. He agreed with Luo An to talk to him next time, left the folder and check, and left the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    Upon seeing this, Luo An took Lacey with him and went to the scene of the crime with the team leader Potente Byrne.


    ?At this time, the lights outside the two-story apartment were brightly lit, and more than a dozen LAPD were struggling to maintain order at the scene. A large number of reporters outside were noisy, and the flashlights for taking photos never stopped.


    ��The deceased��s name was Heman.��


    Potente-Bourne got out of the car, opened the blockade with Roan and Lacey and walked quickly to the apartment. His face was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water:


    ��He is 55 years old. He is the most popular among the Los Angeles council members and is also the Speaker of the Los Angeles City Council.��


    "I know him."


    Luo An didn��t know much about these things, but Lacey next to him nodded and said with a serious expression:


    ��Seaman has repeatedly spoken out for the underclass people in Los Angeles and proposed many initiatives to benefit the underclass people.��


    ??Luo An��s expression remained unchanged. It sounded like Speaker Seaman was a good person. He stepped onto the lawn outside the apartment and asked:


    ��What was the cause of Speaker Seaman��s death?��


    Potente-Bourne''s face became even colder upon hearing this, and he did not answer Luo An directly:


    ��You��ll find out later.��


    "Um?"


    Luo An''s eyebrows twitched. Did the murderer use torture and humiliation before killing Speaker Seaman?


    ??The moment he walked into the apartment, Luo An realized that he had underestimated his imagination.


    ??The living room inside the apartment had no room for anyone to stand at this time, and the place was filled with solidified crimson liquid.


    In the middle of the living room, Speaker Seaman, who was in his fifties, was naked, with a white towel tied to the back of his head stuffed in his mouth. His eyes were split open and his face was ferocious.


    ?In addition, "up and down" is not a verb but an adjective. Speaker Seaman is really centered on the waist, and it becomes two parts on the physical level. The two parts are so messed up that it cannot be described in words.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Seeing the messy scene in the living room clearly, Lacey''s face was filled with shock, her expression instantly became extremely ugly, and she subconsciously covered her mouth.


    Luo An was also slightly startled and cursed in a low voice.


    ??This kind of scene is quite impactful to Luo An, mainly because the smell of blood is too strong, and Luo An''s sense of smell is relatively sensitive. He feels that he can hardly breathe in the living room.


    Turning his head to glance at Potente Bourne, Roan finally understood why his face was so gloomy.


    After exiting the living room of the apartment and making way for the Trace Inspection Section detectives who also had horrified expressions on their faces, Luo An, Lacey and Potente Byrne walked into the adjacent kitchen together and turned their attention to the sink that was already there. A middle-aged white man who was vomiting until he looked horribly pale.


    ?The middle-aged white man named Aiden is the secretary of Speaker Seaman and the first person to discover the scene and call the police.


    ?Potent-Bourne briefly explained a few words, left the apartment and walked outside to start dealing with the media.


    Roan and Luo An walked to Aiden and found that he could no longer spit out anything. Lacey handed him a glass of water, patted his shoulder, and whispered:


    ��Let��s go out and talk.��


    ??The kitchen is not far from the living room, and this image is still very impactful to ordinary people.


    ��Thank you, but no, I can do that.��


    Shakingly, Aiden took the water handed over by Lacey, thanked him, and then reluctantly shook his head to reject the proposal.


    Lacey was speechless as Aiden looked like a noodle, unable to hold himself up, but his mouth was still hard. Luo An was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly used physical means to take Aiden out of the apartment for special investigation. The group��s new SUV��


    On the road next to it.


    ?Mainly because Luo An has a keen sense of smell. He smelled a faint smell of urine on Aiden. The SUV was new after all, so it wouldn��t be good if it got dirty.


    The CIA''s Wande is very fast. Before Luo An and Mona went to Washington, Wande sent three SUVs and some new weapons and equipment to the special investigation team. Neither Luan nor Lacey meant to look down on Aiden. After all, the other person was an ordinary person. It was good that he didn''t faint when he saw this scene.


    ��How did you know I fainted?��


    ?Aiden raised his head in surprise and said that when he opened the apartment door and saw the scene in the living room, his eyes darkened and he fainted.


    ??Had it not been for the pain of his head falling on the steps and waking him up, Aiden''s call to the police might have been much later than it was now.


    ������x2


    Lacie rolled her eyes, and Luo An stopped wasting time and asked directly:


    ��What is the specific situation between you and Speaker Seaman today? What have you experienced?��


    ��Speaker Seaman called me this morning and said he was not feeling well and needed to rest at home for a few hours.��


    ?Aiden took a deep breath and began to describe his experience today in detail:


    ��Speaker Seaman has always been in poor health. This kind of thing is normal, so I didn��t pay attention to it.


    Just according to Speaker Seaman''s wishes, the meeting and other matters are temporarily postponed until after three o''clock in the afternoon.


    At 2:30 in the afternoon, I called Speaker Seaman again, but he never answered.


    Considering that Speaker Seaman was still asleep after taking medicine in the past, I drove here with the documents, and then..."


    Luo An looked solemn when he heard this. Aiden had basically no useful clues. Seeing that Speaker Seaman��s family had not appeared at the scene for so long, Luo An asked again:


    ��What��s going on with Speaker Seaman��s family?��


    ��Chancellor Seaman has been separated from his wife for several years.��


    ?Aiden sighed after hearing this and explained:


    ��Speaker Seaman and his wife have secretly gone through the divorce procedures, but they have not made it public.


    They have a daughter, who has been working outside the Federation and has only met with Speaker Seaman a handful of times. "


    Luo An was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Does Speaker Seaman have any other women?��


    The murderer''s methods were so cruel, there was a high probability that there was hatred between him and Speaker Seaman, and love killing was also one of the possibilities.


    �� ��There is indeed one.��


    ??Aiden was silent for a long time. He looked up at the reporters in the distance. Seeing that there were only Luo An and Lacey in the SUV, he lowered his voice and said:


    ��The woman��s name is Corinna. She is 21 years old and a student at a university in Los Angeles.��


    ����


    ? Luo An and Lacey looked at each other, and both saw the inexplicable look in the other''s eyes.


    The two of them didn''t say much. After Lacey asked for the general information about Corinna, an agent from the Trace Inspection Section came over.


    ??This Trace Inspection Section agent''s expression was very normal. Aiden was taken away by other agents. He said to Luo An and Lacey:


    ��We found that the victim��s tongue was cut out, but it was not found at the scene. He should have been taken away by the murderer.��


    ��Are there any other discoveries?��


    ��Then we have to wait for the autopsy results.��


    ��OK, thank you.��


    The Trace Inspection Section agent turned around and left, and Lacey immediately analyzed:


    ��The tongue was cut out, which is the fate of whistleblowers in many cases. Is it possible that this is also the case in Speaker Seaman��s case?��


    "maybe."


    ??Luo An stood next to the SUV, folding his hands and looking at the brightly lit and noisy scene. He observed carefully for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and called Mona:


    ��Mona, have you found any clues through the surveillance in this community?��


    ��There are clues, but not completely.��


    ?)

 Chapter 367： Real cause of death, clues

    Chapter 367 The real cause of death, clues


    At the crime scene, next to the SUV, Luo An looked confused when he heard Mona''s words.


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone didn��t waste time to sell her off, and went on to explain:


    ��When you went to the scene, I checked the surveillance cameras in that area, and all of them were damaged. They are still in the repair stage, so I can��t find out what happened in that apartment at all.��


    ��This area?��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��How big is this area?��


    ��It��s not big, it just happens to be in this community where you are, and the two communities on the left and right next to it.��


    ??Mona had a smile on her face:


    ��Quite a coincidence, isn��t it?��


    ��Indeed, what a coincidence.��


    Luo An nodded with interest, and then said:


    ��I��ll leave the clues in this area to you, I believe you.��


    "no problem."


    ?Mona agreed loudly, hung up the phone and immediately started typing on the keyboard.


    Seeing Luo An put away his phone, Lacey turned sideways and asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ��Go and visit the neighbours.��


    Luo An pointed to another apartment not far away and said:


    ��I just heard a dog barking over there. Maybe there will be some surprises for us there.��


    ��OK.��


    Lacie nodded and immediately walked towards the neighbor''s house with Luo An.


    ����


    The next day, Tuesday, at 9:30 am, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    ??Luo An crossed his legs on the desk, leaned back on the chair, and was watching the TV news in front of the office area.


    The content in the news was the scene of Speaker Seaman being murdered, and the team leader Potente Byrne standing in front of reporters and responding to their questions.


    Roan and Lacey went to the leader''s house last night, and it turned out that he had indeed heard right, there was indeed a dog there.


    But there is only one dog. The neighbor��s family has been away from the community for the past few days, and the dog has been temporarily handed over to the care of the community management staff. The management staff did not see any useful clues at all.


    It is possible that the puppy saw or heard the clue, but unfortunately no one knew what it was talking about, so Luo An had to keep it as a way to identify the murderer in the future.


    Today, Lacey went to Speaker Seaman''s office to look for clues. Michelle went to the Trace Inspection Department to wait for the autopsy report. Mona sat on the chair and continued to type on the keyboard.


    From last night��s busy work until now, Mona has only slept for five hours, but she has not found any clues.


    ?Seeing Mona''s angry face, Luo An handed her a cup of coffee, walked up to her, squeezed her shoulder, and comforted:


    ��Don��t worry, there will always be clues.��


    "Um."


    ??Mona picked up the coffee and took a sip, nodded, and continued to fight with the computer.


    ����


    Luo An''s mouth twitched slightly when he saw this. He thought about it and prepared to buy more delicious food at noon.


    ?At this moment, the door to the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team was pushed open, and Michelle walked in with two folders:


    ��The autopsy report from the trace examination department and the crime scene inspection report have both come out.��


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Roan then handed Michelle a cup of coffee, sat back on the chair, and asked:


    ��What is the specific situation?��


    "The crime scene trace inspection department found no hair, footprints, fingerprints, etc. of the third party. There were no signs of damage to the glass doors and windows of the apartment. The door locks of the front and rear doors were also normal. There were only Speaker Seaman and Aiden on the door handles. fingerprints."


    Michelle picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, sat on his chair, and said seriously:


    ��The Trace Inspection Department determined that Speaker Seaman should have opened the door himself and brought the murderer into the apartment.��


    "It seems that the murderer is a person who made Speaker Seaman unprepared. Maybe he is an acquaintance or a staff member in some field." Luo An analyzed a few sentences with his chin on his lips, and then looked at Michelle:


    "continue."


    Michelle opened the second folder and introduced:


    "The autopsy report shows that the forensic doctor found traces of being hit with a stick on the back of Speaker Seaman''s head, bruises caused by rope binding on his wrists, and traces of pinholes on the elbows. A small amount of Nikshami was found in the speaker''s body."


    Hearing the word Nikeshami, Luo An frowned slightly:


    ��If I remember correctly, Nikeshamide seems to be a substance used to stimulate the central nervous system.��


    ��That��s right.��


    The expression on Michelle��s face was very solemn:


    ��The Trace Inspection Section determined that after entering the room, the murderer first knocked down Speaker Seaman with a stick, then tied him up with a rope, and then injected Speaker Seaman with a stimulant-like drug.��


    ��Where is the murder weapon?��


    ?Luo An continued to ask:


    ��Human bones are very hard. It is not an easy task to break Speaker Seaman into two parts. What tool did the murderer use? A chainsaw or a chainsaw?��


    ��The Trace Inspection Department determined that it was a bone-chopping knife.��


    Michelle took out a few photos from the folder and handed them to Luo An and said:


    ��The forensic doctor found traces of chopping with a cleaver on the bones. In addition, the forensic doctor speculated that Speaker Seaman was not dead when the murderer struck because he was injected with stimulant drugs.


    ??The real cause of Speaker Seaman''s death was not excessive blood loss, but huge fear. "


    ��In other words, Speaker Seaman was frightened to death by the murderer��s methods and the pain on his body.��


    ??After briefly looking at the photo that Michelle handed over, Luo An, with an ugly face, put it aside.


    ??It''s not that Luo An feels uncomfortable with the scene in the photo, but Luo An really can''t figure out how much hatred the murderer and Speaker Seaman have, so he would use such cruel methods.


    After a few seconds of silence, Luo An left his chair and walked to the front of the office area. He forgot to return the whiteboard to Investigation Team No. 4. He picked up a pen and began to write and draw. While writing, he said:


    ��Even if you use a bone-cutting knife, cutting off bones is not an easy task. The murderer is quite strong, butchers, doctors, retired soldiers, etc. are all possible.


    ? Judging from the surveillance near the crime scene and the fact that the murderer left no useful clues at the scene, the murderer also has very sharp and excellent counter-investigation capabilities... This guy is definitely not an ordinary person. "


    ??Mona was immersed in the computer without looking up. Michelle nodded repeatedly to show that Luo An��s judgment was correct, and then added:


    ��And there is definitely a lot of hatred between the murderer and Speaker Seaman, otherwise the murderer would have no need to choose such a time-wasting method to commit murder.��


    "you''re right."


    ??Luo An frowned in thought while holding a whiteboard pen. After pondering for a long time, he took out his mobile phone and called Lacey:


    ��How is the investigation going on over there?��


    "not so good."


    ??In Speaker Seaman��s office, Lacey felt very headache looking at the pile of documents in front of her, and said helplessly:


    ��Speaker Seaman has done too many things since he entered politics. It is impossible to find out the people who have interest disputes with him. If we look at his enemies alone, they are basically all over Los Angeles..."


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Luo An also knew that the interpersonal relationships between people like Speaker Seaman must be quite complicated, so he directly asked Lacey to take all the documents in Speaker Seaman''s office and bring them back to the Special Investigation Team. Those who could not be taken simply recorded the person who blocked them. Identity, go back and check carefully.


    Just as Luo An hung up the phone, Michelle raised her phone and said:


    ��Ms. Corinna, who is related to Speaker Seaman, has been found by the LAPD and sent to us.��


    ��Good, take her upstairs immediately. I��ll wait for her in the interrogation room.��


    "OK."


    ? Michelle immediately stood up and left the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team. Luo An also threw aside the whiteboard pen and walked into an interrogation room not far away. The air in the office area instantly became quiet.


    As time passed, Mona suddenly raised her hand and shouted:


    ��Everyone! I found a big clue!��


    ����


    ?The air was quiet, and Mona looked around with confusion, only to realize that she was the only one left in the office area.


    ��#%*����


    ?Muttering a few words in a low voice, Mona quickly stood up and began to contact others. The clues she had just discovered were so important that they might fundamentally change the direction of the investigation of this case.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 368： Clues, another body found

    Chapter 368 Clues, another body found


    Special Investigation Team, interrogation room.


    Sitting across the interrogation table, Ms. Corinna sat quietly, sobbing quietly.


    Corinna is a very "mature" girl. The "mature" here does not describe her way of doing things or her speech and behavior, but her appearance is very mature. At first glance, you would not think she is only 20 years old, even if you say she is 40 years old Everyone will believe it.


    ? Luo An and Michelle looked at each other, and they had some understanding of Speaker Seaman''s preferences.


    ��I didn��t expect something like this to happen.��


    ?Corinna put down the toilet paper in her hand and said with red eyes:


    "Heman is a good man. He should go to heaven. Such cruel things should not happen to him."


    Roan glanced at Michelle. Seeing this, Michelle immediately handed Corinna some toilet paper, and then asked in a low voice:


    ��We know that you and Speaker Seaman have been living together for a period of time. Did you find anything wrong during this period?��


    ��Sorry, I want to explain one thing first.��


    ?Corinna stopped wiping her tears, raised her palms and said seriously:


    ��Heman just needs a stable home and a woman who won��t complain to him. We have never had a relationship.


    I never ask about Seaman''s work. Every time he comes to my place, we only talk about every detail of life. During this time, I have never found anything wrong with Seaman. "


    ? ����OK.��


    ?Corinna��s answer was somewhat unexpected by Roan and Michelle.


    After questioning for a while, the two learned that Corinna had not had a father since she was a child, and He-Man had no interest in sexual matters. Therefore, the relationship between her and Speaker He-Man is difficult to describe. It is more of a platonic relationship where each gets what he needs. .


    ??In addition, Corinna''s interpersonal relationships in college were very simple. She had no boyfriends, ex-boyfriends or secret admirers. The possibility of her killing someone for love was very low.


    "Thank you for your cooperation."


    ?Hello signaled Michelle to send Corinna off politely. As soon as Luo An turned around, he saw Mona appearing in front of him holding a laptop.


    ��...you scared me.��


    ??The expression on Luo An''s face was a little speechless, but Mona ignored his words and directly took the laptop and showed the computer screen to Luo An:


    ��I haven��t gotten to the bottom of the surveillance aspect, but I��ve discovered a few other things.


    A week ago, an officer of the federal navy disappeared mysteriously. The military is still investigating and no one has been found.


    ??The community on the left where Speaker Seaman lives is temporarily called Community No. 2.


    ??When I was checking the records of the residents of Community No. 2, I found that there was a house that the naval officer had secretly bought using some means..."


    Hearing this, Luo An looked solemn and asked:


    "You don''t want to tell me that the naval officer died in that house."


    "I have no idea."


    ?Mona shook her head, closed her laptop, frowned and said in a deep voice:


    ��But before problems arose with the surveillance in these three communities, the naval officer happened to be in a shop outside the community.


    After problems with community monitoring, the federal navy discovered that the officer was missing.


    The timing of the monitoring problem is so coincidental, I don��t believe there is no connection at all. "


    ����


    Luo An''s face suddenly darkened. Without hesitation, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called Lacey:


    ��Lacie, don��t come back yet. Ask a few LAPD patrol officers to join you and check an apartment in the community next to Speaker Seaman��s community.��


    ??Lacie agreed, Luo An hung up the phone, rubbed his temples and sat back in his chair.


    Not long after, Michelle returned to the special investigation team. After learning the news from Mona, her face became equally ugly.


    ?Time moved forward minute by minute. Forty minutes later, the phone rang. Luo An immediately pressed the answer button, and Mona and Michelle both turned their eyes.


    Lacey on the other end of the phone didn��t talk nonsense and said in a stiff tone:


    ��Luo An, another body was found.��


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Shet!��


    ??Mona and Michelle immediately raised their hands to cover their foreheads after hearing this. Luo An��s expression did not change, and then asked:


    ��What was the cause of death? Is it the same as Speaker Seaman? Is the victim��s tongue still there?��


    There were a lot of questions. Lacey on the other end of the phone glanced at the victim who was staring blankly on the bed in the bedroom, quickly turned around and left, and answered one by one with a very complicated expression: "This victim''s situation is different from Speaker Seaman. His waist is fine. But the head and body were separated at the neck.


    As for the tongue...it was not found in the victim''s mouth, nor was it found at the scene. "


    ������x2


    ?Mona and Michelle looked at each other, and both saw the solemn look in the other''s eyes.


    The last thing we expected happened, it was a serial murder case.


    ��Mona!��


    At this moment, Luo An suddenly raised his head, looked at Mona and said seriously:


    ��I remember monitoring the community where there was a problem, and there was one.��


    Hearing this, Michelle felt a rush of cold air from her lower back to her forehead. Lacey on the other end of the phone felt the hairs on her body stand up instantly and exclaimed in a low voice:


    ��What do you mean? There��s another one?!��


    ?Mona��s face turned pale instantly, and she immediately opened her laptop and typed on the keyboard:


    ��I��ll start investigating right now!��


    ��Lacey! Take the LAPD to protect the scene and wait for the agents from the Trace Inspection Section.��


    ??Luo An stood up, pulled Michelle and walked towards the equipment room:


    ��Mona, use the Internet to carefully investigate the situation in Community No. 3.


    Michelle, you and I will go to Community No. 3 for on-site investigation. "


    ��OK!��


    "no problem!"


    ����


    ??The new SUV is powerful and has superior performance. It only took Luo An and Michelle ten minutes to arrive at Community No. 3 next to Speaker Seaman��s residential community.


    After parking the car, Luo An and Michelle quickly found the community manager and asked directly:


    ��Are there any of your residents here who haven��t been around for a long time?��


    "this��"


    ??The community manager is a pot-bellied white man in his forties. Hearing Luo An��s question, he shook his head:


    ��No, residents in our community have no problems during this period.��


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and Michelle stepped forward quickly and continued to ask:


    ��What about the residents�� families? Are there any problems?��


    ��Sorry, I don��t know.��


    The pot-bellied white man spread his hands with a look of embarrassment on his face, saying that the people living in this community are all middle-class people. He, the community manager, is actually a telephone man who helps solve problems in the house. It is a matter of the residents'' families. He didn''t know much.


    ?DiDiDiDi��


    ?Michelle was about to speak after hearing this, when a police car suddenly stopped at the gate of the community, and an LAPD patrol officer opened the door and walked over.


    Roan and Michelle immediately walked towards the patrol police upon seeing this, showed their identities and asked:


    "What happened?"


    ??Seeing the two FBI agents Luo An and Michelle appearing here, the LAPD patrol officer was surprised, but he still explained:


    ��People from nearby churches said that the pastor did not go to lead prayers on time today. This is the first time in thirty years.


    People were worried that the pastor might have a health problem, so they reported the incident and asked us to come here to check on the situation. "


    ������x2


    Michelle looked at each other, and Luo An immediately took out the Glock 18 from his waist and asked:


    ��Which building is the vicar��s apartment?��


    LAPD patrol officer was startled by Luo An��s actions and quickly replied:


    ����Building 11 on the left.��


    ��OK.��


    After getting the address, Luo An and Michelle immediately picked up their weapons and ran quickly in the direction of the parsonage.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 369： Discussions, clues and guesses in the supervisor’s office

    Chapter 369 Discussions, clues and guesses in the supervisor��s office


    As soon as he ran to the road outside the apartment, Luo An smelled the faint smell of blood.


    While his face darkened, considering that the death scenes of the first two victims were a bit too impactful, he motioned to Michelle and said:


    ��You go to the back door of the apartment to defend, and if you find the enemy, shoot directly.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Michelle didn''t think so much. After hearing Luo An''s order, she immediately ran towards the back door of the apartment with a pistol in hand.


    ?Seeing Michelle arrive at the designated location, Luo An immediately activated the "emotional perception" in his mind and found that there was no reaction in the apartment in front of him, and there was no sense of danger.


    Slightly relieved, Luo An slowly walked into the apartment. There was nothing unusual about the living room and kitchen on the first floor.


    ?Hand in hand, he slowly walked up to the second floor following the smell of blood. There was nothing strange in the bedroom. He slowly opened the door to the study and finally saw the victim.


    ?At this time, the study room was in a mess, with books, computer fragments, etc. everywhere.


    ??The victim, like Speaker Seaman, was naked, with a white towel wrapped around the back of his head stuffed in his mouth, his face was ferocious, and his eyes were still open.


    ??The difference is that this time the victim did not physically break into two parts. The whole person is still a whole, but the whole body is covered with bruises and swelling, and there are many marks on the head.


    The experienced Luo An could tell at a glance that the priest was beaten to death by the murderer using a stick-like object.


    The specific kind of stick-shaped object is unknown, and no murder weapon was found at the scene.


    Luo An put on the gloves he took out of his pocket and opened the victim''s mouth with force.


    ?Sure enough, the tongue inside disappeared again.


    ��No enemy found.��


    Soon, Michelle also walked up and saw the tragic situation in the study, her face was very ugly.


    ??It was not that he was frightened by the appearance of the corpse. As an FBI, Michelle had seen many corpses before.


    ??The reason why he looks ugly is because it is now confirmed that this case is a very difficult serial murder case.


    After checking carefully in the study for a long time and finding no useful clues, Luo An waved his hand towards Michelle:


    ��Call the Trace Inspection Department.��


    ��OK.��


    Michelle took out her mobile phone from her pocket. Seeing Luo An starting to walk out, Jin Ang asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ��Like Lacey, you guard the scene with the LAPD and wait for the agents from the Trace Inspection Unit to arrive.��


    ?Luo An walked out of the priest''s apartment without looking back, saying as he walked:


    ��I��m going to have a chat with the team leader and see what he thinks about this case.��


    ����


    ��Serial murder case??!��


    ??In the team leader''s office, Potente-Bourne''s eyes widened when he heard Luo An''s words:


    "you sure?"


    ??Roan did not continue to explain, but put the photos taken by the Trace Inspection Department at the three crime scenes, especially the ones where the tongues of the corpses were missing, on Potente-Bourne''s desk.


    ����


    ?Seeing the horrific photos on the table, Potente Byrne raised his hand to rub his temples, feeling a headache.


    ��I need help, sir.��


    ?Seeing the expression on Potente Byrne''s face, Luo An said without any nonsense:


    ��The murderer of this case is most likely not one person, but maybe a group of people. Our special investigation team is short of manpower and is in urgent need of help.��


    "how do you want to do it?"


    Potente-Bourne was speechless about Roan saying that he didn''t have enough men.


    ?Ever since Luo An solved the bank robbery case, there has been an endless stream of people wanting to join the special investigation team, and many people have come to him to tell him about it.


    ?Potent-Bourne also asked Luo An''s thoughts in a subtle way, but Luo An always pretended not to see it, which made Potent-Bourne very helpless. Luo An didn��t show off, he took out a folder directly from behind his back, handed it to Potente Byrne, and said with a smile:


    ��Here is a list I made. There are five people in it. Please help me, sir, and temporarily transfer them to the special investigation team to handle this case with us.��


    ��Cooper, 26 years old, an agent of a branch of the Department of Homeland Security.


    Chie Anne, 30 years old, agent of the International Business Department.


    Winslow, 32, hostage rescue team agent.


    Patricia, 29, Victim Services Unit detective.


    Anwar, 30 years old, agent of the anti-terrorism department. "


    Opening the folder, team leader Potente Byrne briefly looked at the list of five people and the information. There were no problems, so he nodded in agreement. Then he thought of something and asked:


    ��I remember that you had a good relationship with a member of the SWAT team named Hunter Anderson. Why is he not on this list?��


    ??Roan''s intention behind handing over this list was not concealed at all. Potente-Byrne could tell at a glance that Roan planned to take advantage of this case to select a few of these five people to join the special investigation team.


    ??Although I don��t know how many of these five people Roan plans to keep, the absence of Hunter Anderson��s name on the list still aroused Potente Byrne��s interest.


    ��He is not suitable.��


    ? Luo An shook his head and said that he had a drink with Hunter Anderson some time ago, and the latter now serves as a captain in the SWAT action team due to his outstanding performance.


    Hunter Anderson, who has no relatives, no girlfriend, and no worries due to the death of his cousin and the death of his aunt due to excessive grief, is now acting more and more radically.


    ?Luo An talked about the Special Investigation Unit while drinking some time ago, and Hunter Anderson rejected Luo An''s solicitation.


    ��Hunter said that he now enjoys life in the SWAT team. Fighting to save people and the sound of gunfire allowed him to find the meaning of life.��


    Speaking of Hunter Anderson, Luo An frowned:


    ��His current mental condition is obviously problematic. I helped him find a psychiatrist, but the special investigation team is no longer suitable for him.��


    ??What Luo An needs now is a team member who takes the overall situation into consideration and is brave and resourceful, not a berserker who is more desperate than him.


    ?Perhaps Hunter Anderson can adjust his mentality and emotions later, but as the head of the special investigation team, Luo An cannot leave time to wait for him.


    ��OK.��


    ? After listening to Luo An��s description, Potente-Byrne frowned slightly and was about to turn back and talk to the head of the SWAT team about the psychological condition of the first-line team members.


    Putting this matter aside, Potente-Bourn crossed his hands on the table and asked seriously:


    ��Luo An, you just said that the murderer of this serial murder case may be a group of people. Do you have any basis for it?��


    ��If the murderer were a man, he would be very powerful.��


    ?Luo An once again picked up the photos from the Trace Inspection Department and explained:


    ��The murderer has a lot to do, including surveillance video, the living habits of the three victims, personal information, the flow of people in the three communities, and preparing the murder weapon..."


    He went on to say a lot of things that the murderer needed to do. Under so many conditions, the time interval was still so short. The murderer''s methods were not only cruel and violent, but also did not leave any useful clues... Luo An shook his head repeatedly. Murder and torture are not the same at all. One thing, the former is easy and simple, the latter is complicated and troublesome.


    ��OK, I��ll leave this case to you.��


    Potente Byrne stopped talking nonsense. After reconfirming the help Luo An needed, he took out another folder and handed it to Luo An, smiling:


    ��This is a notice from the Washington headquarters.��


    "oh?"


    ?Seeing the smile on Potente Byrne''s face, Luo An raised his eyebrows and had some suspicions in his mind.


    Just as he was about to open the folder, there was a sudden knock on the door of the team leader''s office. Before Potente Byrne could speak, the door was pushed open violently.


    Roan and Potente-Byrne took a look and realized that the person coming was Lacey. They didn��t give them a chance to ask questions. Lacey said with a face full of shock:


    ��Sorry sir, but a new body was found outside.��


    ��??!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 370： Horrifying new crime scene

    Chapter 370 A terrifying new crime scene


    ��Fu-k!��


    ?Hearing Lacey''s words, Roan stopped chatting with Potente-Bourne and nodded at Potente-Byrne, then quickly walked out of the team leader''s office with the folder in hand.


    In the corridor, Luo An and Lacey hurried to the elevator, asking as they walked


    ��What exactly is going on?��


    ��Ten minutes ago, LAPD went to a house to investigate based on a report and found a body in the room of that house.��


    The two of them walked into the elevator together. Lacey''s face looked very ugly:


    ��People die or go missing every day in Los Angeles. When the LAPD doesn��t see the body, it just thinks it��s an ordinary case����


    ��But the corpse��s tongue is gone, right?��


    ?Stepping out of the elevator, Luo An took Lacey''s words and walked quickly towards the special investigation team, asking at the same time:


    ��What did the victim��s death scene look like? What was the cause of death?��


    ??Lacie shook her head and followed Luo An into the special investigation team:


    ��I don��t know, the LAPD didn��t say anything, they just urged us to let people from the Trace Inspection Section handle the scene.


    But I asked a female LAPD patrol officer and learned from her that several patrol officers who saw the crime scene vomited. "


    ����


    ??Luo An''s eyes twitched. He signaled Lacey to contact the Trace Inspection Department immediately. Then he looked at Mona in the office area and asked:


    ��Mona, how is the investigation of the first three victims going?��


    ��Under investigation.��


    ??Mona typed on the computer keyboard frantically and replied without raising her head:


    ��The first victim, the Speaker of Parliament, was named Seaman, the second victim, a naval officer, and the third victim, a church minister, had different surnames but were both named James.


    ? There is no obvious connection between the three people, but they have one thing in common:


    They are all very rich, and they also have some private information that I cannot find out for the time being. "


    After contacting the Trace Inspection Department, Lacey walked out of the equipment room. When she heard Mona''s words, she said casually:


    "The murderer may be a rich enemy, or these three people may have done something to hurt the murderer or the murderer''s family...a case of revenge or revenge."


    ��There is a certain possibility.��


    ??Luo An took the equipment that Lacey handed him and put it all on his body. He said to Mona:


    ��You continue to search for connections between the first three victims. When Michelle comes back, ask her to go to the trace examination department and wait for the autopsy reports of the priest and the naval officer.��


    ?Mona didn��t look back, picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp:


    ��OK.��


    ����


    ??The SUV speeded through the streets of Los Angeles like a black lightning bolt, and arrived at the scene of the fourth case ten minutes later.


    ??What surprised Luo An was that the scene of the crime this time was not a high-end community or a middle-class single-family apartment, but an ordinary building where ordinary people in Los Angeles lived.


    The kind with four to five households on one floor.


    ??Walking to the fourth floor where the crime scene was located, Luo An''s nose moved slightly and he immediately smelled an indescribable smell of blood and fishy smell. There was also a stronger smell of vomit at the entrance of the stairs.


    ��*#%������


    Luo An''s expression changed, and he cursed a few words under his breath. He endured the discomfort and stepped forward, took out the FBI''s golden badge, and showed his identity to the two LAPDs at the door.


    ??Then under the looks of fear and admiration from the two patrol officers, Luo An and Lacey put on professional gloves and shoe covers and slowly walked into the room.


    ?Just after entering the door of the room, Luo An keenly discovered that the gap in the door of the house had been treated. It seemed that the murderer did not want the smell to spread from the room.


    Continuing to walk forward, there is a bathroom on the left. There is nothing strange inside. After passing the bathroom, you will find the living room of the room.


    There are three dark red sofas arranged in a zigzag pattern in the living room. Opposite the sofa is a TV that has accumulated a lot of dust.


    ??Luo An and Lacey slowly walked to the front of the largest sofa in the center. The next second, Lacey''s pupils tightened and her face changed. She covered her mouth and walked out of the room quickly.


    I didn��t vomit, but the impact was a bit strong and I need to slow down a bit.


    I saw a middle-aged white bald man with wide eyes and a ferocious expression sitting on a dark red sofa, his mouth gagged and a white towel wrapped around his head. From the bald man��s neck down to his lower abdomen, the skin on the entire front and both arms had disappeared. Like a shirt, it was folded flat and placed on the coffee table in front of the victim.


    On the skinless body, many insects are crawling freely on it.


    ����


    ?Looking at the tragic situation of the victim, Luo An frowned slightly, remained silent for a while, and began to carefully check other situations in the room.


    ?Not long after, several agents from the Trace Inspection Section arrived here, and then...


    ?They vomited or not, they were professionals after all, but their faces were full of shock. After all, such crime scenes were rare.


    ��Thank you for your hard work.��


    ??Luo An stretched out his hand and shook it with the detective from the Trace Inspection Division, then pointed to the window of the room and said:


    ��The gaps in these windows were treated by the murderer, most likely to prevent the smell from escaping from the room.


    If you check it carefully, you should be able to find useful clues in this regard. "


    "no problem."


    Looking at Luo An, who had nothing on his face and remained expressionless, the faces of several Trace Inspection Section agents wearing masks were full of admiration.


    Leaving the scene of the crime, Lacey immediately walked up in the corridor and briefly introduced the information she had just obtained from her neighbor:


    ��The victim��s name is Butters. He is 39 years old. He has no wife or children. He is an alcoholic. He has taken his street stepdaughter home for the night many times. He works in a leather factory and is an ordinary worker.��


    ��Doesn��t sound like a rich person.��


    ??Smoothly glanced at the vomit beside the stairs, Luo An took Lacey to the window at the other end, opened the window to take a breath, and Luo An asked:


    ��Is there video surveillance?��


    "No."


    Lacie spread her hands:


    ��The person in charge of the building said that there was originally surveillance, but the residents in this building were doing everything.


    They say that the existence of surveillance is an invasion of their privacy, so if the surveillance becomes bad one by one, over time no one will install surveillance for free and let others mess with it. "


    ��It is truly a situation in keeping with the liberal spirit of the Union.��


    ??Luo An shook his head speechlessly and took a deep breath of fresh air. He didn''t smell any sweetness. He patted Lacey on the shoulder and walked towards the stairs:


    ��Let��s go back to the special investigation team first and wait until the Trace Inspection Section has finished its work.��


    Lacie followed Luo An quickly. On the stairs, she asked in a low voice:


    ��I heard from Mona that you plan to transfer five people from Bi��s department to handle this case together?


    How many of these five people do you plan to eventually retain in our special investigation team? "


    ��I don��t know, it depends.��


    Luo An replied casually:


    ��Maybe one, maybe two, maybe three. Anyway, our special investigation team has seven people.��


    Lacey nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly thought of something, smiled and said:


    ��If you just call five people this time, there won��t be the murderer of this case among them, right? This is how it��s done in TV dramas I��ve seen.��


    "If there is really one person who is the murderer of this case, I will buy a lottery ticket immediately. If I win one billion, I will give you ten dollars."


    Opening the door of the SUV, Luo An thought for a moment and closed it again, and said to Lacey:


    "By the way, you go to the factory where Butters works to find out about the situation. Make sure you find out when Butters started losing contact."


    "no problem."


    ?Lacie nodded in agreement, immediately started the SUV and drove forward to leave.


    ?Luo An was in no hurry to return to the special investigation team. The four victims were discovered one after another too quickly, giving him no chance to think carefully.


    Luo An planned to take a walk and think about the situation of this case in detail.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 371： Promotion to team leader, case analysis, clues, discovery

    Chapter 371 Promotion to team leader, case analysis, clues, discovery


    Wednesday, 9 a.m., office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    ??Team director Potente Byrne is very fast. Luo An gave him the list yesterday afternoon, and this morning he sent all the people to the special investigation team.


    ?At the front of the office area, Luo An briefly introduced the identities of the five men and women in suits to Mona, Lacey and Michelle:


    ? ? Cooper, 26, from the Department of Homeland Security, has a standard federal toothy smile and a cool hairstyle.


    Chie Anne, 30 years old, from the International Business Department, has an expressionless face and an open suit, looking very sophisticated.


    Winslow, 32 years old, comes from the hostage rescue team. He has short hair and is a head taller than Roan. His muscles are not as exaggerated as Ryder, but he still has a strong visual impact.


    ??Patricia, 29, from the Victim Services Department, has a little freckles on her face and gives people a very friendly feeling.


    ?Anwar, 30 years old, comes from the anti-terrorism department. He also has short hair and a long scar on his neck. Although he is smiling, the first impression is that this guy is not easy to mess with.


    ?Five people can be selected by Luo An. Their marksmanship, fighting skills, tactical judgment and other abilities are all good. The only difference is their personality, thinking mode and professional judgment.


    ??Then he briefly introduced the situation of Mona, Lacey and Michelle to the five people. Roan finally took out the folder that team leader Potente Byrne gave him yesterday.


    ??In the folder is a notice issued by the Washington headquarters, which states that the FBI Los Angeles Division, Roann Greenwood, deputy leader of the Special Investigation Team, has been officially promoted to full-time and becomes the leader of the Special Investigation Team!


    Not only that, Luo An also found out from Veranith last night that the Chicago branch''s team leader Eason Patel and two other unlucky guys... two lucky ones, their investigation team was successfully promoted to responsible A state''s difficult case has arisen.


    "marvelous!"


    "I knew it!"


    Papa pa pa��


    Hearing the news that Roan had been promoted to a regular job, Mona and Lacey immediately cheered, Michelle clapped with excitement, and the five new agents had different expressions, but they all smiled and clapped vigorously.


    ��Everyone, let��s not talk nonsense. Let��s seize the time to deal with the case at hand.��


    Luo An didn��t waste any more time on this matter. He waved his hand to signal the five new agents to take their seats. He pulled the whiteboard over and began to introduce the clues and information he currently had at hand.


    ��The death scene of Victim No. 1, Seaman William, 55, Los Angeles City Council Speaker, physically split into two parts.


    ?Victim No. 2, James Hunter, a naval officer, 40 years old this year, died in a scene where his head left the body.


    ?Victim No. 3, James Smith, a church pastor, 49 years old, was beaten to death with a stick.


    ? Victim No. 4, Butters Johnson, was a leather factory worker. He was 39 years old. The scene of his death was that he was skinned. "


    After briefly describing this basic information, Luo An turned his eyes to Michelle and asked:


    ��What did the Trace Inspection Department say?��


    ��The autopsies of the four victims have been completed.��


    ?Michelle stood up from her chair, holding a folder in her hand, and said loudly:


    ��First of all, let��s talk about the similarities: the four victims all had pinprick marks on their bodies, and the substance Nicosamide, which stimulates the central nervous system, was also detected in their bodies.


    This shows that the murderer is indeed the same person, and he injected them into the victim''s body while the victim was still alive, and then began to torture the victim.


    The next difference: the four victims died at different times.


    ? The autopsy report shows that the first person to die was Butters Johnson, a leather factory worker. He died about 19 days ago.


    The second person is naval officer James Hunter, who died about 7 days ago.


    The third person is Speaker of Parliament Seaman-William. He died around the morning of the day before yesterday.


    The fourth person was church pastor James Smith, who died around early yesterday morning. "


    ��Good, thank you for your hard work.��


    He nodded and motioned for Michelle to sit down. Seeing the five new agents, except for Annie Che, who had her suit open, the other four were lowering their heads and taking notes seriously. Roan blinked and turned his eyes to Mona:


    ��What clues have you found here?��


    ��At the economic level, there are no clues.�� Mona did not get up. She sat on her chair, looked at the computer in front of her and narrated:


    ��The speaker of the parliament, the naval officer and the church pastor have a lot of savings on the surface, and they also have some money privately.


    The sources of most of these funds have been found out, and there is no direct connection.


    As for surveillance, I''m sorry, the murderer used physical means to destroy the camera, not network means. I couldn''t find any useful clues. "


    ��No, that��s a useful clue.��


    ?Luo An tilted his chin and analyzed:


    ��There are quite a few surveillance cameras in those three communities, and some of them are in very hidden locations.


    Since the other party used physical means to destroy them, it means that the other party has either carefully observed that area, or the other party has the installation and distribution records of those surveillance cameras. "


    ��And the Trace Inspection Section also determined that the four victims opened the door to the murderer on their own initiative.��


    ?Hearing Roan''s words, Mona and Michelle frowned and thought, while Lacey raised her hands and loudly said:


    ��This shows that the murderer definitely has an identity that makes it easy for people to let down their guard, or that the murderer pretends to be this identity and gets others to open the door for him!��


    ��You are absolutely right.��


    ?Luo An agreed very much with Lacey��s idea and then asked:


    ��Lacie, did you find any clues yesterday?��


    "certainly!"


    Lacie smiled, pulled out an inquiry record from her desk, and said:


    ��I learned from a colleague of Butters Johnson, a leather factory worker, that Butters lost his male ability due to an accident.


    ?But I heard from Butters��s neighbor before that Butters often brought his stepdaughter home from the street, and these two clues obviously conflicted.


    So I went to the streets to find those stepdaughters, and learned from one of them that they did not use normal means to serve Butters, but instead used other objects to beat and torture Butters at his request. "


    ������xN


    After Lacey finished speaking, the air in the office area was quiet for a few seconds, and Luo An''s expression did not change:


    ��What does ��mean?��


    "Butters, the tannery worker, has no male abilities, the church pastor has been alone for many years, the naval officer has no girlfriend, and you have seen the female friend of the Speaker of Parliament, but they have never had a relationship, and they call it platonic love. "


    Lacey shrugged and threw the inquiry record back on the table:


    ��Don��t you think this is a coincidence?��


    Everyone in the office area understood the meaning of Lacey��s words. Michelle frowned and said:


    ��You��re saying that all four victims had issues with their sexual orientation?��


    "uncertain."


    Lacie shook her head and said:


    ��They may not all be of this orientation, but they may have been to regular places where male homosexual groups go.��


    ��Make a note of this clue and go back to investigate.��


    ??Roan gestured to Michelle to record Lacey��s thoughts, and then asked:


    ��Are there any other clues?��


    ?Mona, Lacey and Michelle shook their heads, and Roan turned his attention to the four new agents:


    ��What do you think about this case?��


    ?Annie Che, who came from the International Business Department and was wearing an open suit, immediately raised her hand when she heard this, attracting the attention of everyone in the office area.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 372： Analysis of five new agents, orders from Roan

    Chapter 372 Analysis of the Five New Agents, Luo An��s Order


    ��I noticed that these four crime scenes all have the same conditions related to the murderer.��


    Special Investigation Team, office area, Annie Chee, wearing an open suit, stood up from her chair, faced everyone''s gaze, and analyzed expressionlessly:


    ��First, after the murderer took control of the victim, he used a white towel to block the victim��s mouth.


    Second, the murderer cut out and took away all the tongues of the four victims. This must be related to the behavior or thoughts of the four victims during their lifetime.


    Eighty percent of serial killers in the world have a sense of ritual. Currently, no connection can be found between the four victims. Let��s explore the reasons behind the murderer��s tongue-cutting behavior in this case and find the source of those white towels. I think it''s a direction for investigation. "


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded and motioned for Che Annie to sit down. He reviewed her information in his mind. The most prominent point was that Che Annie had a very good memory.


    Although she doesn��t have a photographic memory, as long as she takes a look at the faces of the east and the west, she will remember them correctly for a long time. Her memory of numbers, letters, etc. is much sharper and stronger.


    ??Mona and Michelle briefly glanced at Annie Che. Lacey glanced at Annie Che and licked her lips at the same time. Roan pretended not to notice and continued to ask the remaining four detectives:


    ��What do other people think about this case?��


    ��We can investigate the source of the Nicothamide substances in the bodies of the four victims.��


    Cooper, who had a handsome hairstyle, raised his hands first, then stood up, looked at everyone and smiled:


    ��Nikexamid is not something that can be obtained casually. California has certain controls on such drugs that involve the central nervous system. I think we can investigate from this aspect.��


    "very good."


    Roan nodded with satisfaction. Cooper smiled and sat back down. Anwar, who had a scar on his neck, was about to stand up. Winslow, a muscular man with a short head, stood up before him and said in a deep voice:


    ��I have no opinion on the direction of the next investigation, I just want to briefly explain my views on this case.


    First of all, the Speaker of the Parliament, the No. 1 victim, was split into two halves. This was not an easy task, because human bones are not generally hard, and the murderer must be very strong and endurance.


    Secondly, victim No. 4, a leather factory worker, was skinned to death. Skinning is a job that requires very high skills, and ordinary people simply cannot do it.


    ??The murderer either worked in a related industry or had similar experience, or he was the person who attacked victim No. 4 and was not the same person who attacked the Speaker of Parliament. "


    After speaking, Winslow smiled at Roan, and then sat back down. Mona and Michelle frowned upon hearing this, and Lacey asked directly:


    ��You mean, the murderer of this case is not one person? Is it a gang crime?��


    ??Luo An has not told Mona and the three girls what he thinks about the case yet. When he heard Lacey''s question, he crossed his arms over his chest and turned his eyes to Winslow, wanting to hear his answer.


    ��An intuition.��


    ?Seeing the suspicious look on Lacey''s face, Winslow pursed his lips and said seriously:


    "If the murderer of this case is just one person, then he not only has a lot of abilities and skills, but also has extraordinary anti-reconnaissance capabilities. Otherwise, with the capabilities of Team Leader Greenwood and the Trace Inspection Section, it would be impossible to find any clues. Not found.


    ??If it is a gang that commits the crime and they work together to erase the traces they left behind, I think this is more likely to happen. "


    ??Lacie and others began to think deeply, and Luo An was also thinking, but he was not thinking about this case, but was recalling Winslow''s identity information.


    There is one police officer for every 900 people in the federal government, one FBI SWAT officer for every 30 police officers, and only one FBI hostage rescue team member for every 55 FBI SWAT officers.


    ?Winslow, who came from the hostage rescue team, is 32 years old but has served for more than 6 years.


    Being able to survive in a hostage rescue team, a place that is more torturous than the SWAT team, for such a long time without any conspicuous scars on his body, on the one hand, it proves that Winslow is very capable, and on the other hand, it also shows that Winslow is very capable. Slo definitely has a unique knack.


    Just now Winslow said that his intuition told him that the murderer in this case was not the same person...


    ??Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and rubbed his fingers quietly. He planned to turn around and ask Mona to use some means to pull out Winslow''s entire combat record and take a look.


    ��I remembered something.��


    ??When the air in the office area was quiet, Anwar, who had taken a step slower just now and had scars on his neck, stood up and faced everyone''s eyes and said:


    "I remember that the Trace Inspection Section can detect the composition of the soil present at the crime scene. Based on the composition of the soil, it can be inferred which area the murderer came from, or what items were in the area where the murderer was present, and finally find the murderer. There are now four suspects in this case. Victim, we can carefully check the four crime scenes to see which substances should not be present at the crime scenes to find traces of the murderer."


    ��It��s a good direction for investigation.��


    ? Luo An glanced at Anwar with a smile. He did not expect that the other person also knew something about solving crimes through technology.


    ?Four of the five new agents expressed their opinions. Luo An, Mona and others all turned their attention to the last agent, Patricia with a little freckles on her face.


    ������I have a little idea.��


    ?Seeing everyone��s gaze, Patricia stood up after pondering for a few seconds and said:


    ��The Speaker of the Parliament was killed the day before yesterday, and the church pastor was killed yesterday, within a very short time.


    ??The tannery factory worker was murdered 19 days ago, and the naval officer was murdered 7 days ago. There is a long gap between the two times.


    So...could there be people who were killed by the murderer but were not discovered by us? "


    ����


    The office area was quiet. Although everyone didn''t want this to happen, they had to admit that the probability of this happening was high.


    Papa pa pa��


    ??Luo An clapped his hands to attract the attention of everyone in the office area, walked to the whiteboard, and said loudly:


    ��Everyone��s analysis just now is good. Let me assign the following investigation tasks.


    Che Annie, Cooper, you two are responsible for the white towels and nikoshami that appeared at the crime scene, and find out their purchasers and sources.


    ?Winslow, Lacey, the two of you, together with the agents from the Trace Inspection Unit, carefully investigate the four crime scenes for other substances that should not be present.


    Anwar, Patricia, and Michelle, the three of you will next contact the relatives and friends of the four victims and carefully investigate the personal information of the four victims.


    Investigate from the time of birth, whether they have been in the same car, on the same plane, traveled to the same place, eaten in the same restaurant... Be sure to find out all their experiences for me.


    The murderer attacked four of them, there is definitely a connection between them! We must find this connection!


    ?Mona, you are going to investigate the report records received by the LAPD from 19 days ago to 7 days ago, focusing on disappearances and other similar cases. "


    "no problem!"


    "OK!"


    "clear!"


    After Luo An finished speaking, everyone in the office area immediately responded loudly, picked up their equipment and left the special investigation team one after another.


    The five new agents all have at least three years of working experience in the original department, and the tasks assigned to them by Luo An are not difficult.


    ��Fortunately, I got a few more SUVs from Wande.��


    ?Looking at the backs of the agents leaving quickly, Luo An looked proud and said with emotion:


    ��So this is what it feels like to order your subordinates to do things, without the needle poking you.��


    After sighing, Luo An put away his smile, walked back to the whiteboard, and began to think seriously.


    What is the connection between the four victims? Why did the murderer attack them and cut out their tongues?


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 373： Thoughts, Judgments, New Victims, Questions

    Chapter 373 Thoughts, Judgments, New Victims, Questions


    Wednesday, 11:15 am, Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ?Mona is sitting at her workstation, typing on the keyboard with a serious look on her face.


    ? ?Accompanied by the crackling sound of the keyboard, Luo An held the tea cup and carefully looked at the photos and information of the four victims on the whiteboard.


    Normally, cutting out the tongue is a punishment for the informer, which means that the other party said something that should not be said.


    The current identities of the four victims are a speaker, a priest, a naval officer and a tannery factory worker.


    The first three victims had a higher status and may be related, but the tannery factory workers and these three were not from the same world at all.


    ?Judging from the very solid national conditions of the federal class, if nothing unexpected happens, leather factory workers may never be associated with the first three in this life.


    Then follows the manner of death among the four victims.


    The Speaker was cut in half, officers were beheaded, priests were beaten to death with sticks, and tannery workers were skinned.


    The only person whose identity is related to the manner of death is the leather factory worker. He was the only one who often came into contact with animal skins during his lifetime. His skinning can be regarded as the "punishment" of the murderer.


    But if you think about it this way, except for the naval officer''s military status, which is barely related to the beheading, there is obviously no connection between the identity of the other two victims and the way of death.


    ��This is a dead end.��


    Putting down the tea cup, Luo An shook his head. This road was dead, and he couldn''t continue to waste time on it.


    ? Turning around, Luo An looked at Mona and asked casually:


    ��How��s the check going?��


    At this time, an hour had passed since the other agents left the special investigation team. Luo An planned to let Mona take a break and help him get Winslow''s action file later. Luo An now had a strong sense of Winslow''s "intuition". interested in.


    ��There are too many people missing every day in Los Angeles. The LAPD receives reports of missing cases every day, and even more reports of missing persons.��


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Mona spread her hands, leaned back on the chair with a helpless face, closed her eyes and rested:


    ��From 19 days ago to 7 days ago, the LAPD received a total of fifty missing cases.


    I found 3 guys there who lost contact first and then disappeared, and there were also some guys who had other places to live without telling their family and friends.


    ??We have just called the LAPD for help and went to those residences to check the situation. "


    "Thanks for your hard work��"


    ??Luo An handed Mona a cup of coffee, walked behind her, squeezed her shoulders, and said with a smile:


    ��I��ll reward you well tonight.��


    "snort!"


    Thinking of the scene where her legs were sore during the half-day vacation, Mona immediately leaned forward to avoid Luo An''s hands, then snorted coldly and gave Luo An a hard look.


    Luo An, who was planning to ask Mona if she wanted steak or mutton chops tonight, was slightly startled by her actions. After seeing the expression on Mona''s face clearly, she realized that she had misunderstood what she meant.


    ??Luo An rolled his eyes speechlessly. It was all because Lacey said some nonsense all day long. Mona was taught bad things by her!


    Lacie sneezed hard in the distance...


    Jingle Bell-


    Just when Luo An was about to explain what he really meant, the landline phone on Mona''s desk suddenly rang. She pressed the answer button and heard the trembling voice of an LAPD patrol officer on the other end of the phone.


    ��Special Investigation Team? We found a body in the house you mentioned.��


    Hearing this, Luo An and Mona''s faces instantly darkened.


    ����


    Half an hour later, in a community southeast of Los Angeles.


    This community in Los Angeles is dominated by the middle class, and the houses are pretty good, with basically two units per building. Luo An and Mona arrived at the community in a brand new SUV. After parking the car and taking a look at the SUV, Luo An laughed.


    ??The special investigation team originally had two SUVs, plus the three that were snatched from Wande, there were now a total of five.


    The five new detectives went out to investigate clues this time. They all drove old SUVs. Only Lacey��s group drove one of the three new SUVs.


    ? Luo An is very satisfied with the new agents.


    Walking into the community, Luo An and Mona took the elevator to the crime scene on the sixth floor, took out their golden badges to show their identities, and slowly walked into the room.


    This room is very large. As soon as you enter the door, you see the spacious and bright living room. Things in the living room are a bit messy, and there is a lot of dust on the debris on the floor. Luo An and Mona can tell at a glance that there has been a fight here. .


    ?Haunted into the living room, turned right and walked a few steps, which was the bedroom of this room. Before reaching the bedroom, a **** smell hit his face and entered Luo An''s nostrils.


    He and Mona walked to the door of the bedroom together and looked inside. A red world suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.


    ??The overall decoration style of the bedroom is mainly white, the most common color in Los Angeles, but at this time, there are splatters of blood everywhere on the surrounding walls.


    There is a big bed in the center of the bedroom. There is no one on the bed, but the original brown sheets have been stained black with blood.


    Under the big bed, a tattered corpse lay curled up, with bone-breaking stab wounds all over the body, and the ground was covered with coagulated blood.


    After seeing the scene in the bedroom clearly, Mona''s face immediately darkened, and Luo An frowned. Based on his experience, he could instantly tell that this newly discovered victim was hacked to death by the murderer using a knife.


    ??Pulling Mona away, he waved his hand to signal the agents from the Trace Inspection Section to enter the bedroom to check the situation. Luo An took Mona back to the living room, and while carefully inspecting the items in the room, he asked:


    ��Mona, what is the personal information of this victim?��


    ��Matthew Modlin, 43 years old, works at the Los Angeles Department of Taxation.��


    ??Mona opened her laptop, looked at the information inside and explained:


    ��He was discovered missing by his colleagues 14 days ago and called the police. This guy likes to gamble and is a frequent visitor to Las Vegas.


    Because of gambling, Matthew''s wife and daughter had left him, and his colleagues also knew about Matthew, so the LAPD only conducted a simple investigation and determined that Matthew ran away because of money. "


    ??Luo An was not interested in the character and life experience of the gambler, but he was very confused about why a bad gambler like Matthew had such a house that no one else knew about.


    ��Nominally, this house belongs to Matthew and is left to his daughter.��


    ??Mona spread her hands and said that Matthew bought this house when he was not addicted to gambling, but Matthew did not tell his wife about this house.


    Matthew has been gambling for many years, and this house has always been his trump card. This house has changed hands many times over the years, but it finally returned to Matthew.


    ��Then he died here.��


    Luo An shook his head. Gambling has always been a point of no return. If the tongue in Matthew''s mouth hadn''t disappeared in the bedroom, knowing what Matthew had experienced before his death, he would most likely have thought it was revenge from Matthew''s enemies. The next hand.


    ??Continuing to inspect the house, as Luo An expected, he still found nothing useful. At this time, the agents from the Trace Inspection Section also came out. Mona quickly asked:


    ��Have you noticed anything?��


    The Trace Inspection Section detective shook his head and said:


    ��Not at the moment. It will take some time to conduct detailed investigations on site.��


    ��OK, good work.��


    ??Mona was a little helpless. She turned around and found Luo An standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, looking quietly into the distance. She walked to Luo An and followed his gaze and saw a cross. It was a church. Mona''s face was full of doubts:


    ��Luo An, what did you find?��


    Luo An pondered for a while, with a half-smile expression on his face, and asked:


    ��Mona, except for the priest, do all the other victims have faith?��

 Chapter 374： The detectives clues revealed a new victim.

    Chapter 374 The detectives�� clues and a new victim appeared


    Wednesday, 1:30 pm, the living room of the fifth victim''s room.


    ??Luo An has been thinking about a question while inspecting the living room at the scene of the crime:


    Why did the murderer use so many different methods to kill?


    Those serial killers with records in the Federation, most of the killing methods and methods are the same every time they kill, and the behavior is planned and repetitive. The killer''s signature items or other circumstances will be left at the crime scene.


    In this serial murder case, the murderer took away the victim''s tongue each time, but the method of killing the victim was different each time.


    Five victims, using five methods respectively.


    Since there is no connection between the victims, Luo An decided to focus on the methods of serial killers.


    The reason why serial killers commit crimes continuously is always to satisfy their own desires. The killer in this case used five methods to kill people. There must be a reason why the killer thought it was necessary.


    ?At this time, the reasons for killing for love, vendetta, and money killing in ordinary cases can be put aside, and replaced by content such as political preference, religious beliefs, thoughts and behaviors.


    ��And now I feel more and more that the death of these five deceased people is becoming more and more ritualistic.��


    ??In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, seeing Mona��s puzzled pretty face, Luo An explained in a deep voice:


    ��The sense of ritual is often related to religion, isn��t it?��


    ��That��s right!��


    ?After listening to Luo An��s explanation, Mona suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly while holding her laptop.


    ??The people in the country of the Federation are simple and honest, and the profession of serial killers is also full of talents. Apart from some who are born with anti-social personalities, there are also many serial killers who kill because of their religious beliefs.


    "But... among the five victims, only the pastor is a standard believer in Christianity, and the speaker of the parliament is half. He occasionally attends services."


    ??Mona opened her laptop, typed a few times, frowned and said:


    ��A naval officer, a tannery worker, and a tax collector, all three of them are unbelievers.��


    ��Then give up investigating the beliefs of the five victims and turn around to investigate the teachings of those cults within the Federation.��


    ?At this moment, Luo An��s cell phone suddenly rang, and he said to Mona:


    ��Let��s see if there is any cult teaching that states that people who kill people in this way can become gods after death.��


    ??Mona nodded and continued investigating, Luo An pressed the answer button:


    ��This is Luoan.��


    ��It��s me, Michelle.��


    Michelle on the other end of the phone said that she, Anwar, and Patricia were currently on the outskirts of the community where the fourth victim, a leather factory worker, lived, and Anwar and Patricia found a clue.


    ?Michelle handed the phone to Anwar. Anwar took the phone and said seriously:


    "Team leader, Patricia and I learned in a store near the community where the crime occurred that a black car had been parked on the road diagonally across from the community for a few days. After the leather factory worker died, the car disappeared. .


    Not only that, the store owner also told us that he once saw an LAPD officer opening the car door and entering the car one night. "


    Luo An��s expression changed: ��LAPD?��


    ��Yes, a LAPD.


    The store owner said that he did not see the face of the LAPD man clearly, but he was tall, strong and a white man. "


    The person on the other end of the phone was Patricia, and she explained:


    ��I remember that in these cases, the victim took the initiative to open the door and invite the murderer into the house. If the other party was an LAPD, that would make sense.��


    ��It doesn��t have to be the real LAPD. If the murderer has LAPD clothes or badges to prove it, he can do this.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes, briefly praised the three people on the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone.


    It still took some time for the agents of the Trace Inspection Section to process the scene, so Luo An started the SUV and took Mona back in the direction of the special investigation team.


    ?Halfway, Luo An��s cell phone rang again, and it was Lacey and Winslow on the other end of the phone.


    ��Luo An, there is something discovered.��


    Lacie on the other end of the phone said without any nonsense:


    "Remember the towels that were stuffed in the mouths of the four victims? Detectives from the Trace Inspection Section detected traces of the presence of sodium hypochlorite on the towels in the mouths of the Speaker of Parliament and the church pastor. There was no such thing at the crime scene, or these The towels were exposed to sodium hypochlorite before being purchased by the murderer, or there was sodium hypochlorite in the location where the murderer stayed."


    ��Sodium hypochlorite?��


    ?Hearing this word, the killer ability in Luo An emerged again:


    ��If I remember correctly, this thing seems to be the main component of disinfectant.��


    "Yes."


    Lacie��s voice disappeared, and the voice on the other end of the phone became Winslow:


    ��Sodium hypochlorite is a strong oxidizing bleach, mainly used for disinfection and sterilization, and is a common household cleaning bleach.


    In addition, sodium hypochlorite can also interfere to a certain extent with the detection of blood stains at crime scenes by luminol. "


    ��Good.��


    ??Luo An nodded. It seemed that Winslow, who was from the hostage rescue team, also had a lot of knowledge. He continued:


    ��What are you going to do next?��


    ��Cheani and Cooper are currently investigating the presence of Nicothamide in the victim��s body.��


    ?Winslow said:


    ��Lacey and I are going to investigate the source of these towels. With the clue of sodium hypochlorite, we may be able to find out something.��


    ��OK.��


    ?? Luo An nodded and hung up the phone. Nicotsamid, like Adrenalin, is a high-warning drug. It is not easy for ordinary people to obtain them easily.


    But in a capitalist free federation, it is not very difficult for some people to obtain them. It will take some time for Cheani and Cooper to start in this regard.


    ??The new SUV arrived downstairs at the FBI''s Los Angeles branch and parked the car in the parking lot. As soon as Luo An and Mona got out of the car, his cell phone rang again.


    ??The person who called Luo An this time was not the special investigation team agent, but the leader of the No. 4 investigation team, Morton York.


    ��Good afternoon, Team Leader Morton.��


    Pressing the answer button, Luo An chuckled and asked:


    ��What do you want from me?��


    Luo An''s mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly remembered that the whiteboards at the front of the Special Investigation Team''s office area were the ones he had borrowed from the No. 4 Investigation Team before, and he had forgotten to return them.


    ��Good afternoon, Team Leader Greenwood, congratulations on your promotion.��


    ?Morton York, the leader of the No. 4 Investigation Team on the other end of the phone, said it was a congratulations, but there was no congratulations in his tone. He continued:


    ��Our Investigation Team No. 4 just took over a case that may be of interest to you.��


    Luo An��s expression changed and he asked in a deep voice:


    ��It��s not the victim��s tongue that��s missing, right?��


    ?Morton-York chuckled:


    ��As expected of the leader of the special investigation team, his guess is really accurate.��


    ����


    ??Rolling his eyes with a speechless face, he opened the door and got in the car again. Luo An asked directly:


    "Place?"


    ??Looking at the **** scene at the crime scene, Morton-York turned to look at the beautiful scenery outside the house and said softly:


    ��A community in West Hollywood, not far from our FBI Los Angeles branch building.��


    ��OK, I��ll be there soon.��


    ?Hang up the phone, Luo An found that Mona was putting her laptop on the hood of the car, tapping it, her face looking very ugly.


    ?Seeing Luo An looking at her, Mona stopped and raised her head:


    ��Luo An, your guess is correct. This case is indeed related to religion, and the murderer may continue to kill many people.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 375： Discover connections, concrete causes, teachings

    Chapter 375 Discovering connections, specific reasons, teachings


    ��Get in the car first.��


    ??Luo An waved his hand and motioned for Mona to quickly get into the passenger seat. The SUV quickly drove out of the parking lot and headed to the location mentioned by Morton York. After passing several passers-by, Luo An asked:


    ��What exactly happened?��


    ��Do you know the Twelve Apostles of Christianity?��


    In the passenger seat, Mona waved her hands and explained:


    ��The twelve followers of **** recorded in the Bible.��


    Roan doesn��t know much about Christianity, but he knows one thing:


    ��Those are the people in that painting of The Last Supper, right? There��s a traitor named Judas in there.��


    ��That��s right, it��s them.��


    ?Mona nodded and said in a heavy tone:


    ��According to your guess, I just briefly checked the cult files recorded by the federation, and most of the cult teachings have not been found to be related to this case.


    But in a religious content from Europe called "Devil Worship", part of the content teaches believers how to transform their souls into devils after death to gain eternal life.


    ?One of the main requirements was to kill the twelve disciples of **** with their own hands and drink their blood. "


    ?Luo An frowned slightly, not because he was frightened by the content of "Devil Worship Cult", but because he really couldn''t figure out what was wrong with the minds of people who believed in this religion.


    ?However, there is still a problem that is not clear. Luo An then asked:


    ��What is the connection between the twelve disciples you mentioned and the five victims now?��


    ��Occupation and name are the same.��


    ?Taking a deep breath, Mona opened her laptop and explained:


    ��A Zealot disciple named ��Simeon�� was recorded as being sawed in half, which corresponds to Speaker Seaman��s name and his occupation.


    The two disciples whose translated names are James, were beaten to death and beheaded respectively. Their names and occupations corresponded to church pastors and naval officers respectively.


    A disciple whose translated name is Matthew. He was a tax official and was hacked to death with a knife. This corresponds to the victim Matthew we just discovered who worked in the tax department. "


    ?After listening to Mona��s introduction, Luo An��s lips twitched. Did all the twelve disciples of **** die in such tragic ways? He then asked:


    ��What about Butters, the tannery worker? Which disciple does he correspond to?��


    ��A disciple named Bartholomew.��


    ?Mona pulled down the computer screen and frowned:


    ��The translation of Bartholomew is Bart, whose skin was flayed when he was martyred.��


    Luo An sighed helplessly. The names of the twelve disciples were not originally in English, and the English translation was still different from the original ones. He did not understand the content of Christianity, and the logic of the murderer''s behavior could not be imagined at the moment.


    ??Mona is also very helpless. They are not religious either. The entire federation is dominated by Protestantism, and they have been exposed to Protestantism since they were young.


    The content of Protestantism emphasizes the participation of individuals and churches, focusing on praise, teaching and prayer, and direct contact with God. There is not much content related to **** and the Twelve Apostles, which is basically only found in church schools.


    European Catholicism emphasizes rituals, sacraments, masses and communions, and contact with God through the church and Jesus. Therefore, the vast majority of the people in the Federation do not know the names, translations and professional experiences of the Twelve Saints.


    Just like the "Seventy-two Sages" in the East, most people know at most three or four. Except for students and experts in this field, most ordinary people know the names, occupations and abilities of the remaining "sages". What.


    ?Seeing that the new crime scene was still some distance away, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Morton York, the leader of the No. 4 investigation team, and asked directly:


    ��Captain Morton, have you found out the victim��s name, occupation and other information?��


    "certainly."


    ?At the scene of the crime, Morton-York waved to one of his detectives, took the information from the other party and replied:


    ��The victim��s name is Thomas, he is 44 years old and works in a construction company as an architect.


    ??The victim died in the bathtub of the house. Not only was his tongue missing, but his right hand was also chopped off and missing. He should have been taken away by the murderer. "


    "The right hand was cut off?" Luo An raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to look at Mona. Mona in the co-pilot pulled down the computer screen and whispered after a few seconds:


    ��There was indeed one among the twelve disciples whose name was translated as Thomas. The Bible records that he did not believe in the resurrection of **** until he saw with his own eyes and touched the wounds on Jesus�� body.


    The murderer cut off the victim''s right hand, probably because of this story. "


    ? Luoan was silent for a few seconds, and then asked Morton-York a few questions on his mobile phone.


    ?Morton-York answered one by one and finally asked:


    ��How long will it take for you to get here?��


    ? Luo An twisted the steering wheel hard at the intersection and drove the SUV directly back to the direction of the FBI Los Angeles branch building:


    "I''m not going."


    ?Morton-York:? ? ?


    ?Luo An chuckled. Anyway, Morton-York had gone to the crime scene with the agents from the Trace Inspection Section.


    The on-site inspection was handled by the agents of the Trace Inspection Section, and Luo An and Mona only went there to check the situation at the scene.


    Originally going to the scene of the crime, Luo An hoped to find out the identity of the murderer and the reason for the crime through the clues left by the murderer at the scene.


    ?? Now that the reason why the murderer committed the crime is known and determined, we can try to find the identity of the murderer through the trace inspection department''s investigation of the scene, so there is no need for him and Mona to go to the scene.


    ��Thank you for your hard work, Team Leader Morton.��


    ??Luo An expressed his gratitude to Morton York, the leader of the No. 4 Investigation Team, with a smile on his face on the phone, and finally said:


    ��After you return to the FBI Los Angeles branch building, I will send someone to your office area to hand over this case. Thank you.��


    ??Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Morton-York''s face darkened. He originally planned to tease Luo An on the spot, but he didn''t expect Luo An to not come at all.


    ?After a few seconds of silence, Morton-York raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. He was not angry about this little thing, but he felt that Luo An was becoming more and more interesting.


    ��Becoming the leader of the special investigation team at such a young age����


    Putting away his cell phone, Morton-York waved to one of his detectives and said:


    ��Process the scene well, and when the special investigation team comes to take over the case, remember to give them everything about the case.��


    ?Morton-York now has no idea of ??stumbling on Luo An. Cooperation and exchanges are beneficial to both parties, and he is not stingy about showing his goodwill first.


    ?On the other side, after Luo An hung up on Morton-York, he immediately called other people in the special investigation team.


    The first is to ask them about the current status of their investigation, and the second is to order them to return to the special investigation team.


    ??Mona''s discovery just now is both good and bad: the good thing is that they finally figured out the murderer''s murder logic in this case. Based on the name and occupation, the special investigation team may be able to find other potential victims.


    The disadvantage is that there were a total of twelve disciples of **** recorded in the Bible. Six have died and six are left.


    ?Whether or how many of these six people died is a big question.


    After receiving Roan��s call, a group of detectives quickly returned to the Special Investigation Team. Lacey and Winslow were the first to return, followed closely by Michelle, Anwar, and Patricia.


    ?Then half an hour passed, and Annie and Cooper still hadn''t come back, and the phone calls went from being answered within seconds to being unanswered. The faces of Luo An and the other agents all darkened.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 376： Los Angeles XC District, sewer

    Chapter 376 Los Angeles XC District, sewer


    Five minutes ago, Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ?After listening to Mona��s narration of the clues about the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, Lacey suddenly realized:


    "So, the murderer behind this case is actually a believer in the "Devil Worship Cult" who wants to turn his soul into a devil after death?"


    Anwar and Patricia showed understanding on their faces, Luo An waved his hands and said:


    ��It doesn��t have to be a believer in the ��Devil Worship Cult��. It can be targeted at the Christian Church, Christians, Christ himself, or fundamentalists.��


    Winslow, who was standing next to him, thought for a while and added:


    ��It may also be a boy who believed in Christianity when he was a child, but was hurt by a priest...��


    ����


    Winslow��s words made the air in the office area quiet for a few seconds. Luo An raised his head and glanced at Winslow, then turned his chair to look at Michelle and asked:


    ��How long will it take for Cheanne and Cooper to come back?��


    Michelle, who was responsible for contacting the two, put down the landline phone, raised her head and said seriously:


    ��Bad news, I can��t contact either of them. No one answered the phone.��


    ��What?��


    Hearing this, the faces of all the agents suddenly darkened. Luo An quickly stood up from his chair and walked to Michelle and asked:


    ��Where were they investigating clues to the case?��


    ��Los Angeles XC area.��


    ?Michelle quickly replied:


    ��Cooper said before that they found clues about Nikoshami in a hospital in that area.��


    Upon hearing this, Luo An immediately ordered loudly:


    ��Patricia, you continue to contact Cooper and Cheanne on the landline.


    Michelle, check the surveillance in that area for signs of our Special Investigations Team''s SUV.


    Mona, see if you can use the computer to locate the current locations of Annie and Cooper through their mobile phones! "


    ��OK!��


    ��I��ll locate them right now.��


    Michelle and Patricia started working immediately, and Mona also opened her laptop and started typing on the keyboard.


    At this moment, Lacey suddenly put down her mobile phone and walked to Mona, pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down a series of numbers and said:


    ��The person who contacted Michelle before was always Che Annie��s work phone number. This is Che Annie��s personal life phone number. It can��t be reached now. You try to use it to locate her.��


    ?Winslow, Anwar and Patricia, who had just joined the Special Investigation Team and were not familiar with Lacey''s behavior, were surprised when they saw this.


    ?Michelle and Luo An��s eyelids twitched, Mona paused, and asked in a low voice with a speechless face:


    ��When did you get this?��


    ��Just when I set out to investigate the clues.��


    Seeing the expressions of Luo An and others, Lacey smiled:


    ��We are all teammates, we will arrive soon.��


    Roan patted Lacey on the shoulder. Lacey immediately put away the smile on her face and walked away from Mona. Mona also immediately started to investigate based on the phone number.


    ?On the other side, it didn��t take long for Michelle to raise her hand and loudly said:


    ��I found the Special Investigations Unit��s SUV!��


    Roan and others immediately approached Michelle. The screen displayed on the computer was of a crossroads in the XC area of ??Los Angeles, not far from the hospital where Chenelle and Cooper were investigating.


    ?Michelle reversed the surveillance footage, which showed that Cooper parked the car at an intersection, then ran out of the car with Chenelle, and quickly rushed into an alley not far away.


    ��Lacie, Anwar, and Winslow, get all the equipment and go with me to investigate here immediately!��


    After watching the surveillance video, Luo An immediately strode towards the equipment warehouse and loudly ordered:


    "Others stay with the special investigation team and continue to locate Chenelle and Cooper!" "Understood!"


    "no problem!"


    ����


    Because the matter was urgent, the intersection where Cheani and Cooper disappeared was a bit far from the FBI Los Angeles branch building, so Luo An took the other three people into the same SUV this time.


    ??The first thing Lacey did when she got into the passenger seat of the SUV was to fasten her seat belt tightly. Anwar and Winslow were a little confused when they saw this, but they looked at each other and fastened their seat belts as well.


    The next second, a strong pushing feeling startled the two of them. With a harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground, the SUV left the parking lot and entered the road. Then the car rushed forward like a black lightning bolt. go out.


    ?Looking at the rapidly reversing scenery outside the car window, Anwar swallowed. When he encountered emergency situations while working in the anti-terrorism department, none of his colleagues had ever driven so fast.


    Winslow''s expression remained unchanged and he continued to carefully check the situation of guns and ammunition. However, judging from his uncontrollable rapid breathing, it was obvious that his mood was not as calm as he appeared.


    ?Halfway, Lacey��s cell phone suddenly rang. She pressed the answer button and Mona��s voice came from the other end of the phone:


    ��I have used Chenier��s personal mobile phone to locate the location. It is not far from the intersection in the surveillance. It should be that alley on the map.


    I just sent a message to Chenille, but I haven��t received a reply yet. "


    ��Well done.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, turned the steering wheel, and the SUV immediately drove towards the store Mona mentioned.


    ?Three minutes later, the SUV arrived at the designated location. Luo An and Lacey got out of the car, took out their weapons and approached the old SUV parked at the intersection. A brief search found no clues.


    ?Anwar and Winslow had already reached the entrance of the alley with weapons in hand. Luo An and Lacey left the old SUV. The four of them slowly entered the alley with weapons in hand.


    The alley was littered with rubbish. As the four of them walked deeper, they saw a place that was messier than other places, but with a lot less **** on the ground and a lot of blood stains on the walls.


    After briefly scanning the surroundings, Anwar frowned and said:


    ��Cheani and Cooper must have encountered an unexpected situation, and there was more than one person on the other side.��


    Winslow next to him nodded and added:


    ��There is a high probability that Cooper and Cheanni entered here chasing a person and were ambushed.


    The two of them fought with the enemy, but failed to defeat the group of people. They were controlled by the enemy and taken away. "


    When Lacey heard this, she frowned while holding the weapon.


    ??Cooper and Cheyenne are both very skilled, and they also carry guns. If they are both captured by the enemy, how many enemies are there, and how powerful are those people?


    Luo An was noncommittal about the two people''s analysis. He carefully scanned the garbage around him. His eyes lit up when he saw a piece of newspaper. He bent down and picked up the newspaper. There was a mobile phone lying quietly under the newspaper.


    On the other side, Anwar and Winslow quickly figured out the enemy''s way out of the alley based on their past experiences:


    A sewer covered with garbage.


    Looking at the sewer manhole cover that was pulled open by the two, an indescribable smell hit her face. Lacey grinned and looked up at Anwar and Winslow:


    ��Are you sure this is where it is?��


    "Sure."


    ?Anwar nodded repeatedly and explained:


    ��Both Chenelle and Cooper worked in the FBI for a while, and if there were a bunch of people in the alley, they wouldn��t just rush in.


    The only explanation is that the enemy suddenly appeared. This is some distance from the entrances and exits on both sides of the alley. Appearing from the two sewers and surrounding them is the most likely scenario. "


    Winslow pointed to the edge of the sewer and added:


    ��And the edge of this sewer entrance is very clean, with very little dust and mud compared to other places. Someone must have entered and exited here many times, or multiple people must have entered and exited here quickly.��


    ��I understand everything...��


    ?After listening to what the two said, and then smelling the strange smell coming slowly, Lacey''s eyelids jumped as her biological gender was female, and she turned to look at Luo An, who was playing with his mobile phone not far away.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 377： mole: mole spy mole

    Chapter 377 mole: mole spy mole


    Seeing the mobile phone held by Luo An, Lacey widened her eyes and said in surprise:


    ��Isn��t this Chenille��s personal cell phone? Where did you find it, Roan?��


    ??? Lacey walked to Luo An as she spoke, and looked down at Chenelle''s phone. There was a memo page on it with two words in it:


    mole, doctor


    Obviously, this is the clue left by Cheniel.


    But when she saw the word "mole", Lacey fell silent for a moment.


    ?This word not only means "mole", but also represents "spy" and "traitor".


    Considering Chenelle��s good skills and marksmanship, and the fact that Cooper was the first person to run out of the SUV in the surveillance video, countless guesses and ideas flashed through Lacey��s mind.


    ?Seeing the uncertain expression on Lacey''s face, Luo An guessed what she was thinking.


    Putting away his phone and putting it in his pocket, Luo An glanced at Winslow and Anwar, whose faces were also solemn beside him and Lacey. He patted Lacey on the shoulder and smiled:


    "The word doctor obviously represents the hospital that Chenille and the others investigated before. Lacey, go to that hospital immediately to check the situation. If you see which doctor has a problem, call SWAT for support and take him back to the special investigation team. !��


    "But��"


    When Lacey heard this, she subconsciously raised her head, but after seeing the expression on Luo An''s face clearly, she immediately swallowed the words and nodded to accept the order. She gave Luo An the three shocking bombs in her waist. Lacey quickly left the small house. lane.


    ?? Shaking the thirteen shock bombs on his waist, watching Lacey''s back gradually disappear, Luo An glanced at Winslow and Anwar, and waved:


    ��We enter the sewer.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Winslow and Anwar looked at each other and immediately turned around and walked towards the entrance of the sewer.


    Winslow took the lead, followed closely by Anwar. Roan stood at the entrance of the sewer and took a deep breath. The last one entered the sewer.


    The height of the sewers in Los Angeles is not low. Luo An and the three of them can stand upright. There is smelly sewage flowing slowly below. Fortunately, the sewage is not very high.


    Turning on the light on his helmet, Luo An glanced left and right. He did not go to the left side he judged, but asked:


    ��Which direction are we going?��


    ��Left side!�� x2


    ?Winslow and Anwar said in unison. After they finished speaking, they looked at each other. Winslow was the first to explain:


    ��There are traces of people walking on the left side, but there are no traces on the right side.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Roan nodded and made a tactical gesture. Winslow once again got ahead of Anwar and took the lead and walked out to the left of the three of them.


    ?Anwar frowned when he saw this, but he followed immediately. Luo An was at the end and followed him slowly.


    In the dark sewer, the lamps above the heads of the three people illuminated the way forward. Accompanied by the sound of sewage, the three men moved forward slowly with weapons in hand.


    The three of them passed through several criss-crossing sewer intersections in succession, but their direction judgments were consistent every time, so the three of them moved at a not slow pace.


    Turning right again into another sewer, Luo An suddenly said:


    ��What do you think the ��mole�� left behind by Chenille means?��


    The three of them continued to advance at the same speed. Anwar was silent for a few seconds without speaking. Winslow, who was at the front, thought for a while and replied:


    ��I think Chenelle is talking about the mole tribe.��


    The "Mole Tribe" is a unique landscape owned by the Federation. They are a group of homeless marginalized people who live in abandoned subway passages under the most prosperous areas of major cities in the Federation. Like moles, they live a life of darkness. .


    The ground above our heads is the center of the prosperous federal cities in the world. The abandoned subway passages or abandoned sewers beneath the ground are the homes of the "Mole Tribe".


    ?? New York has the most mole populations, Los Angeles and other large cities also have them, and Chicago has the least. After all, the folk customs in Chicago are more honest than other cities. The Mole clan will accumulate a lot of items picked up or stolen for life in their residences. For many homeless people who are brave and aggressive, this is a place where they can start. A place for free treasure chests.


    Roan was noncommittal to the two men''s answers and continued to move forward for a moment. Winslow, the leader, suddenly stopped and whispered:


    ��There is someone in front.��


    ??Luo An also heard the noise coming not far ahead. The three of them turned off the lights on their helmets together and moved forward slowly in the dark world.


    ?At a platform for sewer cleaning workers to rest on the right side of an intersection, under a dim light, three guys with pistols around their waists were squatting on the ground playing cards.


    The three of them were playing cards and joking, and their words never left the subject of the price and feelings of white powder, as well as their performance and time in the bed of a woman on the street.


    Winslow frowned upon seeing this and asked in a low voice:


    "what to do?"


    ?The three people in front of you are obviously guards. It is easy to kill them by shooting, but once the sound of gunfire attracts the attention of the enemy above the sewer entrance, things will become troublesome.


    ??Although Winslow is from the hostage rescue team, he can''t guarantee that he can rush out at the sewer entrance to face a group of enemy bullets.


    ?Anwar from the anti-terrorism department also thought of this. He was good at hard attacks and was silent for a few seconds before making a suggestion:


    ��Let��s break the lamp above their heads with throwing objects first, and then����


    Anwar stopped mid-sentence, because the three men opposite also had guns in their hands. Once one of them fired, it would eventually attract the attention of the enemy at the entrance of the sewer.


    ��We leave here temporarily and move to the ground from the sewer entrance on the other side.��


    Winslow offered his own ideas:


    ��We attack from the ground.��


    Winslow''s proposal, who was a member of the hostage rescue team, is relatively safe, but it also has some problems. For example, there are three enemies in the sewers, and there will only be more enemies on the ground.


    ��It��s taken too long.��


    Luo An, who was walking at the back and had just drank a bottle of hemostatic potion and a bottle of swiftness potion while the two were not paying attention, shook his head, signaled Anwar and Winslow to retreat, put away his pistol and took out the dagger on his body, and then Borrowing one from Winslow, he grinned:


    ��I��ll deal with these three people.��


    ��???��x2


    Hearing this, Winslow and Anwar were full of confusion and didn''t understand what Luo An meant. As soon as they turned to look at Luo An, their eyes were filled with shock.


    The two of them saw Luo An rushing away from them at an extremely fast speed. A white light flashed, the dim light disappeared, and the entire platform fell into darkness instantly.


    The three guys squatting on the ground playing cards were startled by this sudden situation. They all subconsciously stood up and touched the pistols on their waists. The guys closest to Winslow and Anwar felt that their touch was empty. Then I lay down on the ground with a sore throat.


    ??Just as the other two took out the pistols from their waists, a white light suddenly flashed in front of their eyes, and there was a sharp pain in the hand holding the gun.


    Before the two of them could exclaim, the person standing on the left suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat, as if something had been inserted into it. The guy on the right only felt two hands grabbing his head, and then suddenly turned to the side. Lost his consciousness.


    ??The three poisonous insects were dealt with silently. Luo An turned on the lamp above his head and waved his hand to signal Anwar and Winslow to come over. It was time to take the next step.


    Not far away, Winslow and Anwar were stunned with shock on their faces. The sewer was too dark just now, and they didn''t see Luo An''s specific movements at all. They only felt their eyes darken and then light up. The three people who were squatting and playing cards lay down. He fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.


    Selectively ignoring Winslow and Anwar''s admiring looks, Roan stretched out his hand and started to climb the sewer stairs. The top priority now was to find Chenelle and Cooper as soon as possible. They had been missing for long enough.


    ?The performance and words of Winslow and Anwar just now also gave Luan some other ideas about the word mole.

 Chapter 378： SWAT support, find Chenelle and Cooper

    Chapter 378 SWAT support, find Chenelle and Cooper


    In the sewer, Luo An is slowly climbing up the iron steps made of steel bars.


    ??Hold up the manhole cover and look around, and found that this place is in the middle of two warehouses. At the entrance of the warehouse at the diagonal corner, there are two middle-aged white men with their backs to here, smoking and chatting.


    Changing the perspective, Luo An looked at the familiar building in the distance and recalled the map of Los Angeles in his mind. He judged that this place should be the warehouse of a small movie prop manufacturing company in West Los Angeles.


    After putting down the manhole cover and returning to the sewer, Luo An briefly described the above situation to Winslow and Anwar. Before Winslow and Anwar could suggest the next action plan, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Lacey. :


    ��Our location is probably at a company warehouse in West Los Angeles. Has the SWAT team been dispatched?��


    ?Lacie on the other end of the phone replied immediately:


    ��We are currently at the hospital! We will arrive at your location in one minute!��


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction:


    ��Start the countdown, and the action will officially begin in one minute and thirty seconds. If the enemy uses force to resist, he is allowed to be killed!��


    "clear!"


    Seeing Luo An hang up the phone and ordering himself to check the equipment, Winslow and Anwar were a little confused at first, but soon a look of understanding flashed in Winslow''s eyes, and Anwar understood after a few seconds. , the two began to lower their heads and check their weapons.


    ?Luo An, who had been observing the two of them, raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.


    ??The order to call the SWAT team was given by Luo An quietly when he asked Lacey to leave the alley. Lacey, who had been with Luo An for a long time, naturally understood the subtext in his words.


    ? Winslow and Anwar also saw the word "mole". The meaning of "spy, traitor" in the word can easily make people think of whether there is a mole within their special investigation team.


    Roan asked Lacey to leave the alley, first to call for support from the SWAT team to ensure that the rescue of Chenelle and Cooper went smoothly.


    The second is to ensure Lacey��s safety. Anwar and Winslow are also new members of the special investigation team. If there is a mole among the two in the sewer and takes action, Luo An is sure to ensure his own safety, but he cannot guarantee 100% the safety of Lacey.


    ?The third purpose of doing this is that Luo An wants to determine whether there is a mole inside Winslow and Anwar by observing their reactions in the sewer.


    In order to prove that he was not a mole, Winslow was the first to be attacked and showed his back to his teammates to show that he was fine. At the same time, if Anwar was a mole, Luo An could also kill the opponent the moment Anwar took action.


    ?Anwar also thought of this, but when he grabbed the front position among the three, he was one step behind Winslow.


    In order to prove that he was okay and to always pay attention to whether Winslow made any strange movements, Anwar did not ask Luo An to say that he was behind the throne, but stood in the center of the team without thinking. During the entire march, Anwar''s body kept Maintain an alert posture ready to face emergencies at any time.


    ? During a journey in the sewer, Anwar and Winslow each had their own thoughts and purposes, and Luo An saw it clearly at the end.


    Coupled with the emotional perception in his mind, Luo Luo arranged not only the suspicion that the two were moles, but also made him very satisfied with their performance:


    ??The new agent Luo An wants is not a reckless man who can''t control his emotions and just rushes forward.


    It is an agent who is clear-headed at critical moments, able to correctly judge the situation and respond correctly.


    ? During the process of marching in the sewer, Winslow and Anwar displayed very sophisticated and rich tactical knowledge and operational experience. At the same time, they were quick-thinking and could be regarded as brave and resourceful.


    ?One minute passed quickly. Lacey and Luo An aligned the countdown on the phone. Thirty seconds later, two SWAT troop carriers opened the door with a bang and rushed to the warehouse gate.


    A group of SWAT team members quickly advanced with anti-riot shields and rifles, shouting: "Hands up! Put down weapons!"


    ��Put down your weapons! Get down on the ground!��


    ��Left, left! Move forward quickly!��


    On the other side, Luo An, Winslow and Anwar also rushed out of the sewer with weapons at the moment they arrived at the scheduled time of one minute and thirty seconds.


    ??The two middle-aged white men at the door of the warehouse were startled by the unexpected situation. Luo An didn''t talk nonsense to them, and directly threw two shock bombs at the door of the warehouse in front of Winslow and Anwar, whose eyelids were shaking.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    ??The dazzling light and deafening explosion instantly subdued the two guards. Luo An and the other two rushed into the warehouse followed by the SWAT team members.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    boom! boom! boom!


    ��Right! Right!��


    "lay down your weapon!"


    There were many enemies in the warehouse, but when faced with a group of SWTA members who blocked the front and rear doors of the warehouse and were armed to the teeth, not many of them actually resisted with guns. Most of them threw their pistols aside, holding their heads with their hands and sticking their butts out. Lying on the ground.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??Roan led Winslow and Anwar, and after killing three enemies who were fighting back with guns one by one, they went straight to the center of the warehouse to look for Chenille and Cooper, the main targets of the operation.


    In the center of the warehouse, there is a movie prop that looks like a gallows. Chenille and Cooper are currently having their hands tied and their toes off the ground. There are three guys with gloves and sticks around them. In front of them is a person sitting on the gallows. On the wooden box prop, there is a middle-aged bald white man with a smile on his face.


    Before the SWAT team took action, the bald man coughed and was about to continue talking. He was startled by the sudden shouts and explosions outside.


    The bald man stood up subconsciously and turned around to order his three subordinates to go out to check the situation. Seeing this, Chenier immediately raised her legs and turned over to hook up the beam above the gallows. Then she continued to turn over and sat upright on the beam above the gallows. She lowered her head and used Teeth quickly untied his hands bound by the rope.


    ??Cooper, who was watching this scene and had his hands tied next to him, was stunned. He had just planned to tell Chenelle that this was a good opportunity to escape. Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Chenelle broke away from the rope.


    ??The bald white man looked back and was even more shocked to see Chenelle on top of the gallows. He didn''t understand how Chenelle did it. Are all the women in the FBI so powerful now?


    However, he was surprised. The bald white man quickly raised his pistol and pulled the trigger at Chenier. Chenier jumped from the gallows to a movie prop behind the gallows that resembled a door just one second before the opponent fired. passed.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??The bald white man fired three shots in a row. Due to distance and speed issues, Chenelle successfully dodged two bullets, and the third bullet hit her right foot.


    ?Chenelle frowned, endured the pain, rolled around on the ground, and hid behind a movie prop that looked like a door.


    ??The bald white man cursed when he saw this, walked quickly to the gallows, and fired three or two times at the movie prop where Chenille was. As a result, the movie prop fell down and Chenille disappeared.


    ��This **** watch!��


    ??The bald white man''s expression became even more ugly. He tilted his head and saw Cooper beside him, who was still struggling with the rope.


    Seeing the bald white man turn his attention to himself, Cooper twitched the corner of his mouth, stopped moving, and a stiff smile slowly appeared on his face:


    ��We can talk about the terms.��


    ��Talk about��%#����


    ??The bald white man''s face became even more angry when he heard this, and he immediately raised the pistol in his hand towards Cooper.

 Chapter 379： Battle inside the factory, additional gains

    Chapter 379: Battle in the factory, extra gains


    ??The moment she saw the bald white man raising his pistol, Chenelle''s pupils shrank suddenly after she had moved to the other side behind the movie props.


    The pistols on the two men were taken away by the men of the bald white man and placed on a wooden box not far away.


    Chenelle originally planned to quickly go behind the movie props, go around to the wooden box to retrieve the pistol and fight back against the bald white man, but she was shot in the right foot and was forced to slow down a step.


    Now that the other party aimed his pistol at Cooper, Chenelle immediately stopped, picked up a plate-type prop from her side, and threw it at the bald white man.


    ?At the same time, Cooper saw the bald white man raising his pistol and preparing to attack him. A cold light flashed in his eyes. With the help of his tied and hung hands, Cooper jumped up suddenly, raised his legs and kicked the bald white man with all his strength.


    Snapped-


    The plate Chenelle threw successfully hit the bald white man, causing him to move.


    ??Cooper''s kick was blocked by the bald white man''s hand. Although he took a few steps back, he did not fall. The pistol was still aimed at Cooper''s chest.


    ??The bald white man sneered, and immediately pulled the trigger under Cooper''s frown and Cheniel''s angry gaze.


    boom!


    boom! boom! boom!


    boom!


    ?Several gunshots rang out in the center of the warehouse. The next second, Cooper fell to the ground. He was not shot.


    ??The bald white man looked at Chenille in surprise, his body bleeding, he lay on his side with a puzzled expression and fell to the ground.


    ?Looking at the bald white man lying on the ground in front of him, Cooper picked up the pistol that the man dropped on the ground and quickly looked in the direction of the gunshot.


    Chenelle also turned her gaze to the direction where the gunfire came from. What caught their eyes was Luo An, Winslow and Anwar.


    ??Luo An was still holding his pistol up, so it was obvious that he was the one who fired the gun just now.


    ?Different from Cheanne and Cooper who didn''t see clearly what happened just now, Winslow and Anwar were always by Luo An''s side and clearly saw all of Luo An''s actions just now.


    When the three of them arrived here, they happened to see the bald white man about to pull the trigger. Upon seeing this, Winslow and Anwar immediately prepared to kill the bald white man, and Luo An had already pulled the trigger before them.


    ??Roan fired four shots in succession, and four bullets were fired one after another. One of them successfully broke the rope that tied Cooper''s hands. The rope broke and Cooper sat on the ground.


    ?The other three bullets hit the right hand, left arm and left leg of the bald white man holding the gun respectively, causing the bald white man to miss the shot and then lay heavily on his side and fell to the ground.


    Roan''s superb and accurate shooting skills and extremely fast reaction speed made Winslow look in disbelief. Anwar also looked moved and took a breath.


    But now is not the time to ask how Luo An practiced to such an extent. Winslow and Anwar, who are rich in tactical knowledge, suppressed the shock in their hearts, raised their weapons and quickly walked to the middle-aged white man, took out the handcuffs and controlled the other man. stand up.


    Roan nodded satisfied with the actions of Winslow and Anwar, put away his pistol, looked at Cooper and Chenier, and asked:


    ��Are you okay?��


    Cooper quickly got up from the ground, shook his head and thanked:


    ��I��m fine, thank you, Team Leader Luo An.��


    "Um."


    Luo An answered casually, and then looked at Chenille. When he learned that she had been shot in her right foot, he immediately called the SWAT team to help her stop the bleeding. He and the bald white man carried her to the ambulance and sent her to the hospital. Lacey was sent to follow her with a gun. same.


    ?Five minutes later, the interior of the entire warehouse was processed, and the SWAT team members escorted a group of people into the car. Luo An leaned on the new SUV with his arms folded and watched the scene. When he saw Cooper coming over after finishing his work, he asked directly:


    ��What exactly happened today?��


    ��The doctor Chenelle and I found out about this serial murder case definitely knows something about it!��


    ?Hearing Luo An��s question, Cooper immediately frowned and explained what happened. As a clinical respiratory stimulant, the share of nicosamide used by hospitals every month generally does not fluctuate much.


    ? But at this hospital in the XC area of ??Los Angeles, there has indeed been no significant fluctuation in the use share of nicoxamid in the past three months, but some of the usage records are far more blurry than before.


    ??Cooper and Chenier immediately realized the problem and began to investigate. When they received a call from Luo An to return to the special investigation team, they had already found three suspects directly related to Nikoshami.


    ��One of them was a doctor named Nickmi, who told me and Chenelle lies.��


    Cooper said that both he and Chenelle had received training within the FBI and knew some common methods of identifying whether others are lying. He continued:


    ��While Chenelle and I were questioning the second suspect, we saw Nikimi driving downstairs and escaping, so we immediately drove to follow him.��


    The situation after entering the alley was the same as what Winslow and Anwar had speculated. When the two were about to capture Nikmi, a group of guys with guns rushed out from the sewer and surrounded them. Outnumbered, the two were forced to Capture.


    Cooper didn��t see the scene where Annie Qie threw her cell phone, so he didn��t mention it. Luo An��s brows moved slightly when he heard this, and he continued to ask:


    ��What are the identities of the bald man and these guys?��


    Without waiting for Cooper to answer, Winslow and Anwar came over carrying several transparent bags containing green dumplings.


    ?Handing the packaging bag to Luo An, Anwar grinned and said:


    ��We found these things in several small movie props. We just dismantled a few large movie props and found a large amount of OxyContin and a large amount of drugs similar to oxycodone inside.��


    Looking at the ball of marijuana leaves in his hand, Luo An was speechless when he heard Anwar''s words.


    ??If they guessed correctly, this time they seemed to have found a criminal gang that used movie props as disguises and secretly smuggled large amounts of addictive drugs.


    Doctors in the federal government have been abusing addictive opioids for a long time. Many patients who have been taking these drugs all year round have only two options after becoming addicted. They can either continue to take this type of drug, or take something more addictive. Such as white flour or white rock sugar.


    The Federation is a free capitalist country. When there is demand, supply will naturally arise. Even compared to smuggling white flour, smuggling opioids is a highly profitable blue ocean industry.


    ��There is also an unexpected gain.��


    After returning the transparent packaging bag to Anwar, Luo An called Michelle and asked her to come to the scene together with the agents from the Trace Inspection Section. Such a large batch of goods is worth a lot of money, and the special investigation team can also get a lot of extra gains afterwards.


    "no problem."


    Just as Michelle nodded in agreement, Mona��s voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone:


    "Roan, Lacey asked me to check on the doctor named Nickmi before, and I found that he has a big problem."


    Luo An was not surprised by this. Since the bald man and his group were engaged in drug smuggling, it was only natural that Nikmi, the doctor who was obviously related to the bald man, would have financial problems.


    ��No, that��s not what I��m talking about.��


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone shook her head and explained:


    ��In my consumption records of Nickmi in the past three months, I found that he had purchased disinfectant containing sodium hypochlorite many times.


    But during the surveillance in the community where Nikimi lived, I never noticed him taking disinfectant home once. This is strange, isn''t it? "


    Roan grinned when he heard this, and immediately took Cooper''s mobile phone and called Lacey:


    ��Lessie, where is the doctor I asked you to arrest before?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 380： During interrogation in the hospital, Luo An once again launched his vicious tongue

    Chapter 380 Interrogation in the hospital, Luo An once again activated his poisonous tongue skills


    ??Lacie was currently sitting in the ambulance heading to the hospital.


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Lacey explained:


    ��Sorry, when I arrived at the hospital, I didn��t find a doctor.��


    ???? Lacey said that when she arrived at the hospital, she heard the story about the doctor leaving the hospital on the pretext of temporary business, and then two FBI agents chased him.


    The two detectives were obviously Chenelle and Cooper. Cooper went on to say that when the group of people surrounded him and Chenelle in the alley, Dr. Nickmi and one of the guys whose left and right eyes were different sizes After saying a few words, he entered the sewer and left them at a certain intersection.


    ��But I also got some clues.��


    Lacie on the other end of the phone then added:


    ��I was in the hospital and asked about the doctor��s home address and personal relationships, and submitted all these clues to Mona.��


    Hearing this, Luo An raised his phone again:


    ��Mona, how��s your check going?��


    ��Michelle has helped you write a wanted order against Dr. Nikimi. It can be officially released as soon as you authorize it.��


    There was a crackling keyboard sound from the other end of the phone, followed by Mona��s voice:


    ��In addition, I have been looking for this doctor, but his car is parked at the entrance of the alley and it is not moving, which means that the doctor has abandoned the car.


    ??I used the surveillance video to check the recent itinerary of the doctor��s car and found that he often traveled to a certain area in northern Los Angeles during this period. There was no doctor��s property or relatives in that area.


    ??However, there are very few surveillance cameras in the area north of Los Angeles, so I haven''t found out where the doctor has gone yet. "


    ��Michelle, immediately issue a warrant for the arrest of Doctor Nikmi within the major law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles.


    Then bring someone to the warehouse to handle the scene. "


    Luo An thought for a while and said:


    ��Mona, you and Patricia continue to search for traces of the doctor, and contact me as soon as you find any trace of the other party.��


    "OK."


    "no problem."


    Michelle and Patricia both nodded in agreement, while Mona was a little confused:


    ��Aren��t you going to return to the Special Investigations Unit?��


    ��No, I��ll take someone to the hospital.��


    ??Luo An looked up at the criminal gang being escorted into the car by the SWAT team members and said:


    ��That big bald man may know where the doctor has gone.��


    After hanging up the phone, Luo An returned the other mobile phone to Cooper, and at the same time waved his hand for Cooper to get in the car. The warehouse was temporarily under the control of Winslow and Anwar. They would come back after Michelle arrived here. The hospital looks for Luo An.


    Several people started to act according to the order. Cooper got into the passenger seat of the SUV and was shocked by the way Luo An drove. Looking at the scene of rapid reversing outside the car window, Cooper was heartbroken when he was pointed at a gun just now. Jumped to the throat again.


    ?Hatching the seat belt that tightly tied his body, Cooper''s face was shaking, he felt a sense of security, swallowed a little saliva, and asked:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, will issuing a wanted order against the doctor alert the murderer behind this case?��


    ��Yes, so I just asked Michelle to issue this wanted notice within the major law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles.��


    Roan nodded and answered Cooper''s question. Judging from the descriptions of Cooper, Mona and Lacey, there is a high probability that Doctor Nickmi will not be the murderer of this serial murder case. He does not have the abilities and abilities that a murderer should have. Traits.


    ?The large-scale public notice of arrest warrants targeting doctors is very likely to cause the murderer to kill the doctor.


    ?Issuing a wanted warrant within the law enforcement department will greatly reduce this chance.


    ??The ambulance with the bald white men Creed, Chenelle and Lacey was the first to set off, but less than five minutes after the ambulance entered the hospital, Roan and Cooper also arrived at the hospital in an SUV.


    ?? Creed and Chenelle both had ordinary gunshot wounds, and the experienced doctors in the operating room were already used to it. It didn''t take long for them to skillfully remove the bullets and treat the wounds. Creed, a bald white man, looked a little pale due to excessive blood loss, but since he hadn''t fainted yet, it was nothing serious.


    So as soon as Creed was pushed out of the operating room and entered the ward, he was tightly surrounded by Roan, Lacey, Cooper and Chenelle in a wheelchair.


    ����


    ?? Creed''s face was trembling on the hospital bed, he glared at Chenelle and Cooper fiercely, looked up at Roan, and asked in a hoarse voice:


    ��Don��t waste your time on me, I won��t say anything.��


    ��Don��t get me wrong, what I��m asking about has nothing to do with those movie props.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, pulled up a chair and sat down. He just asked Cheniel about the description of her experience during her kidnapping.


    ��I noticed something was wrong.��


    As to Luo An��s question, Chenelle explained:


    ��I tested Creed in turn, and judging from his words, Creed thought we were actually here to investigate him this time.��


    Because of this, Creed wanted to know how far the FBI had investigated the smuggling situation, so he did not kill Chenelle and Cooper immediately.


    Sitting next to the hospital bed, Luo An poured a glass of water. Instead of handing it to Creed, who had dry lips and tongue, he raised his head and drank it himself.


    ?? Then with a smile on his face, Luo An briefly described the serial murder case to Creed and the relationship between the case and the doctor Nickmi. Finally, Luo An patted Creed on the shoulder and smiled:


    ��Obviously, in order to escape our pursuit, Nikimi not only used you, but also sold you, your men, and your business.


    ?How many movie props are there? How much did you lose this time? Can you tell me so that I can gain insights? "


    ����


    After listening to Roan''s words, and seeing Lacey, Chenelle and Cooper''s uncontrollable smiles because they were unprofessional, Creed''s originally pale face suddenly turned rosy with anger, and his face looked as ugly as possible. His lips were trembling with anger.


    Upon seeing this, Luo An hurriedly poured a glass of water for Creed, but did not feed him immediately. Instead, he smiled and asked:


    ��How about, do you know where Nikimi will hide? Or, can you contact Nikimi?��


    ��Give me my phone number.��


    Looking at the water glass in front of him, Creed was silent for a long time, licked his chapped lips, glared at Luo An, and said in a hoarse voice:


    ��Let me make a call, I��ve got a way to find that **** Nicki through the LA underworld!


    But I also have a request, I want to get a reduced sentence! "


    ��It��s a pleasure to work with.��


    ??Luo An nodded with satisfaction, handed the water glass to Creed, and then turned back to signal Lacey to hand her mobile phone to Creed.


    ??Haven''t given Creed his cell phone back to save him from mischief.


    ??Regarding Creed''s dissatisfaction, Luo An directly spread his hands and said that the mobile phone had been broken in the previous battle and could not make calls.


    ?? Creed snorted noncommittally, took Lacey''s cell phone, pressed a few numbers, and said to the other end of the phone:


    "It''s me, Creed, find that guy Nickmi as quickly as possible!"


    After saying this, Creed hung up the phone without waiting for a response from the other party.


    Cooper frowned slightly when he saw this, Lacey and Chenelle''s expressions remained unchanged, and Roan took Lacey''s cell phone back into his hand, and started talking to the unhappy Creed with a smile on his face.


    ?Time passed by, and ten minutes later, Lacey''s cell phone rang again. Roan did not hand the phone to Creed, but directly pressed the answer button to turn on the speaker, and looked at Creed with a smile.


    Creed��s face was full of dissatisfaction, but he still pinched his nose and swallowed, and asked:


    ��Where is the person?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 381： The arrest was successful, the truth of the case, 30 silver coins

    Chapter 381 Successful arrest, the truth of the case, 30 silver coins


    ��Already left Los Angeles.��


    The other end of the phone replied:


    ��The person you are talking about is fleeing south along Route 19 in southern Los Angeles.��


    ?? Creed glanced at Luo An, gritted his teeth and said:


    "Thanks."


    After the words fell, the other end of the phone hung up on his own initiative. Luo An immediately threw the phone back to Lacey, stood up and said to Lacey and Cooper:


    ��Contact the LAPD in South Los Angeles immediately, send them a photo of Nicki and ask them to intercept Nicki!


    Lacie, Cooper, together with Winslow and Anwar, drive immediately to hunt down Nickmi! "


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    After hearing this, Lacey and Cooper immediately turned around and left the ward. Luo An also took out his mobile phone and told the other people in the special investigation team the news.


    As for Chenelle��


    ??Luo An looked back at Creed who was lying on the hospital bed. He walked out of the ward and called two SWATs to ensure the safety of this place. Then he patted Cheniel on the shoulder and said with a smile:


    ��This guy Creed still has a lot of things in his hands. I leave the task of interrogating him to you. Try to figure out the smuggling matter as much as possible.��


    ?Chenelle looked up in confusion. Didn''t Roan just agree to Creed''s commutation conditions?


    Luo An spread his hands:


    ��That��s Creed��s condition for helping us find Dr. Nickmi. What does it have to do with the crime of smuggling?��


    ??Seeing Luo An''s reasonable appearance, Chenier, who had always had a cold face, flashed a bright light in her eyes, slowly showed a smile, and nodded heavily in agreement:


    "no problem!"


    ����


    After learning from Luo An the direction of doctor Nickmi''s escape, it didn''t take long for Mona to find traces of the doctor who drove away under a false identity on a road in southern Los Angeles.


    ?Send the model and specific appearance of Nickmi��s car to the LAPD, and the LAPD quickly located him.


    ?With the joint efforts of Winslow, Anwar, Lacey and Cooper, more than two hours later, they successfully captured doctor Nikmi on a road in southern Los Angeles.


    The four members of the special investigation team lost some bullets, several shock bombs, and the front of an old SUV was damaged in trying to stop the other party.


    As for the doctor, Nickmi, he was shot several times because he resisted arrest with a gun and was sent to another hospital for treatment.


    ??? Still didn��t give Nickmi much time to react. As soon as he was pushed out of the operating room and into the ward, Luo An walked in with Lacey holding a cup of coffee and said with a smile:


    ��It��s not easy to meet you, Mr. Nickmi.��


    ??Nikmi is a middle-aged white man with a slicked back hair, no beard on his face, and looks very clean.


    ?At this time, Nickmi''s face was a little pale. Hearing Luo An''s words, he smiled bitterly and did not answer.


    "As a doctor, I believe you must have some knowledge of the customs in federal prisons."


    Sit down next to the hospital bed, Luo An took a sip of coffee and asked directly:


    ��I won��t waste time, let��s talk about this serial murder case? Who is the murderer? Where is he?��


    The air in the ward was quiet for a long time. Finally, Nikimi slowly exhaled and whispered:


    ��I don��t know their real names.��


    ��Then say the name they told you.��


    Lacey��s eyes lit up, and Luo An waved his hand indifferently and said:


    ��Professional painters will come here later, and you can describe their faces.��


    ? ����OK.��


    After pondering again for a few seconds, Nickmi whispered:


    ��Those two people are a couple, the man��s name is Mike and the woman��s name is Mary.��


    ��Couple?��


    Lacey was a little surprised. Luo An��s expression did not change when he heard this. He nodded and said:


    ��Continue.�� Nickmi said that he met a girl two years ago. When he went out to play with the girl, he was dragged to an underground place by the girl.


    At first, Nickmi thought it was some bar or entertainment venue, but when he arrived, he discovered that it was actually a crazy church that believed in the original teachings of Christianity. The girl was a believer in this church.


    ?The male leader in that church, Michael, claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus, and the female leader, Mary, is the reincarnation of Mary. If they believe that they can enter heaven and obtain eternal life after the destruction of the world.


    ������x2


    ??Lacie was speechless, and Luo An also grinned and asked:


    ��Do you believe it?��


    ��Of course I don��t believe it.��


    ??Nikmi shook his head repeatedly. How could he, who had gone to university and received professional studies, believe in such an underground cult? In order to ensure his own safety that night, he participated in the ceremony held by the other party.


    The next day, he wanted to break up with the girl and never see her again. Unexpectedly, Mike and Mary suddenly visited the hospital where he worked.


    Nickmi was shocked at the time, but Mike and Mary were very kind. After chatting with them several times, Nickmi finally figured out their purpose, which was that they wanted to buy something that could be used as a gift through Nickmi. Fantasy psychoactive drugs.


    It goes without saying that Nickmi knew how Mike and Mary planned to use these drugs. At first, Nickmi agreed to the two for his own safety. After a while, Nickmi''s mentality changed a lot when he looked at the accumulated wealth.


    ?Luo An nodded slightly. It seemed that the smuggling of drugs with Creed and his group started here.


    After thinking for a while, Luo An then asked:


    ��What��s going on with this serial murder case?��


    ��Because Mary has cancer!��


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Nickmi showed a complicated look on his face and said:


    "Six months ago, cancer cells were detected in Mary''s body. From then on, I discovered that Mike and Mary were crazy. They actually began to truly believe that those teachings were useful. They could kill other people and let themselves return to the form of souls after death. Get eternal life!��


    ?The mentality of Mike and Mary at this time is similar to that of the founder of Apple who always went to a certain country to worship Buddha after he got cancer. Luo An could guess it.


    Lacey also understood this, but she was unhappy with the fact that in order to continue to make money from Mike and Mary, Nickmi never called the police.


    ? ? Disinfectant and other items were also purchased by Nickmi at Mike��s request.


    After asking Nickmi about the location of the underground church and the area where he sent the disinfectant every time, Luo An immediately left the ward and asked Winslow, Anwar, and Cooper to investigate respectively. Lacey took two detectives to Nickmi''s home to process relevant evidence.


    ??We must seize the time to catch this Mike and Mary. First, the couple has been attacking faster and faster recently, and if it takes a long time, someone will definitely be poisoned.


    Secondly, Nickmi mentioned that Mike and Mary started taking action half a year ago, but the earliest deceased discovered by the special investigation team was only 20 days ago. Who knows how many more deceased have not been discovered.


    Not long after Luo An returned to the Special Investigation Team, the portraitist sent Nickmi the appearance of Mike and Mary. Mona logged into the FBI internal database and quickly found the true identity of "Mike". She raised her head and said:


    ��Gerald Morris, the late Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent, died six years ago during a border operation involving Mexico.


    As for Mary, I haven��t found it yet. Give me some time. "


    ��The file says he is deceased, but he is not actually dead.��


    ?Standing behind Luo An, Luo An crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes:


    "With this "death and resurrection" situation, I understand why he calls himself the reincarnation of Jesus."


    ?Mona looked at Gerald''s photo with a flash of disgust. At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.


    On the other end of the phone was Lacey. She said in a hurried tone:


    ��Mona! Tell Roan, I found thirty silver coins in the living room of Nickmi��s house!��


    ?Mona was slightly startled:


    ��Thirty pieces of silver, that��s the money Judas got for betraying Jesus!��


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??Luo An''s mind was spinning rapidly, he cursed in a low voice, quickly took out his mobile phone and called the four SWAT team members guarding Nikmi at the hospital, and at the same time rushed out of the special investigation team office area with the equipment.

 Chapter 382： Discovery and battle inside the hospital

    Chapter 382 Discovery and battle in the hospital


    On the streets of Los Angeles, an SUV was moving at lightning speed.


    Putting down his mobile phone and controlling the steering wheel to overtake the vehicle in front, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief.


    When he heard Judas'' name and the thirty silver coins just now, Luo An immediately guessed that the murderer Gerald Morris, a guy who claimed to be Jesus, had regarded Nickmi as the traitor Judas and planned to get rid of him. he.


    Luckily, Luo An had just contacted the four SWAT agents responsible for guarding Nickmi in the hospital, and they found nothing unusual, which meant that Gerald Morris had not started taking action yet.


    ? ? Controlling the SUV to turn right onto another road, Luo An thought about it and called Mona:


    ��Mona, the wife of Gerald Morris, how is the true identity of Mary being investigated?��


    ��I have only found a few false identities in the Federation that Mary obtained with money.


    ??However, I just checked the information records of the Federal Customs and Border Protection Service and found her true situation. "


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone stretched her waist vigorously, looked at the computer screen and said:


    ��The other party is not from the Federation, but from Mexico, and her name is Catalina Hidalgo.


    There is no record of his mother, and his father is a drug lord in a city very close to the Federation. His brother has been engaged in the flour business with his father since he was a child.


    ??The action Gerald Morris participated in was a conflict with a drug gang headed by Catalina''s father.


    Customs and Border Protection shows that Katarina died in the war. I can��t find out how she met and fell in love with Gerald.


    ??However, two people who were lucky to survive the war, a man and a woman, still hate each other... I already have the plot and scenes of the movie in my mind. "


    ����After this case is solved, we will go to the theater to watch a movie together.��


    Roan answered Mona casually. When he heard Catarina��s nationality, he figured out another reason why she killed someone according to the conditions of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus:


    ??The main religion in each country in Mexico is Catholicism, which accounts for about 80% of the country''s population. There is a high probability that Catarina is also a Catholic. It is normal for Gerald to be infected by her and start to believe in religion.


    The SUV soon arrived at the hospital. Luo An walked to the ward where Nickmi was, and a nurse was preparing to change his dressing.


    ??The nurse was still the same one that Luo An and others had seen when Nickmi came out of the operating room.


    ?Luo An frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to stop the other party:


    "Wait a moment."


    ??The nurse paused for a moment with a puzzled look on her face. She was shocked when she saw the expressions of the four SWAT team members change slightly and they grasped their weapons.


    ��It��s okay, don��t be nervous.��


    Luo An waved his hand, with a sunny smile on his face, took the medicine bottle from the nurse, and asked with a smile:


    ��Did you prepare this bottle of medicine with your own hands just now?��


    The nurse breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head and said:


    ��No, it was matched by my colleague.��


    ��Then please prepare another bottle yourself.��


    With the smile still on his face, Luo An led the nurse out of the ward.


    The nurse has been working in this hospital for more than ten years. Naturally, she guessed what Luo An meant. Her heart skipped a beat but she didn''t say anything. She took Luo An to the room where the nurse dispensed medicine.


    There was nothing unusual in the dispensing room. The nurse prepared a new bottle of medicine in front of Luo An as usual.


    Walking out of the dispensing room, the nurse, whose mood had returned to normal, asked as she walked:


    ��Mr. Detective, can you tell me a little bit about the cases involving the people in the ward?��


    Luo An chuckled:


    ��A case related to homicide.��


    ??The nurse rolled her eyes after hearing this, and when she was about to continue talking, she suddenly found Luo An taking out an object from his waist, opening the door of the dressing room next to the dressing room, and throwing it in.


    "You..." The nurse''s pupils shrank when she saw this. As soon as she said a word, Luo An pushed her to the ground not far away.


    Boom!


    ?The next second, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and the glass of the door to the dressing room shattered to the floor. The nurse quickly looked up and saw that Luo An rushed into the dressing room like a cheetah.


    On the way to the hospital, Luo An kept thinking about **** Nikimi if it were him.


    There are four SWAT members inside and outside Nikmi''s ward. If you want to pretend to be a doctor and enter the room, or directly break in, the success rate is too low.


    The bed where Nikimi was lying was in the corner of the ward. There was no suitable field of view for long-range sniping. Luoan thought about it and found that the only way to achieve the highest success rate was to manipulate Nikimi''s medicine.


    ?From the moment he entered the hospital, Luo An opened up the "emotional perception" in his mind. There were no problems with the SWAT team members and nurses along the way. Only when passing by the dressing room, Luo An felt a deep malice.


    Sure enough, as soon as Luo An rushed into the dressing room, a sharp white light quickly struck his neck. He hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the dagger and was about to shoot at the opponent. The opponent slammed the dagger across and turned aside the pistol, and took advantage of the situation to take the gun at Luo An. He slashed with his right hand.


    ?Judging from the sharpness of the dagger, if it hit him this time, his right hand would probably be severed on the spot.


    Taking a quick glance at the middle-aged white man in front of him with a cold face, a big hooked nose, and a white coat he got from nowhere, he looked exactly like Gerald Morris in the photo. Luo An felt cold at heart. With a grunt, he crossed the pistol to block the blow. He also took out a dagger from his leg with his left hand and stabbed the opponent fiercely.


    Snapped-


    Gerald Morris reacted equally quickly. He immediately raised his other hand to hold Luo An''s left hand. While his right hand continued to hold the dagger and wiped it towards Luo An''s neck, he also raised his knee towards Luo An''s neck. He was hit hard in the abdomen, but Luo An managed to break away and fight back.


    On the other side, not far from the ward where Nickmi was, four SWAT team members heard the explosion. The two standing at the door immediately rushed towards the dressing room with guns in hand.


    "do not move!"


    "Raise your hand!"


    ??The moment two SWAT team members ran to the door of the dressing room, raised their guns and shouted, Luan happened to be a little distance away from Gerald.


    With a sneer, Luo An held the pistol in his right hand and held it against Gerald''s waving arm. He grabbed the dagger and suddenly slashed at Gerald''s wrists with his backhand. At the same time, he quickly pulled the trigger of the pistol with his right hand.


    boom! boom!


    Two traces of blood flew out from Gerald''s left and right wrists, and two gunshots spattered blood on Gerald''s shoulders and chest. Before the other party could react, Luo An then raised his right foot and kicked him hard. Gerald''s chest.


    score


    With a look of pain on his face, Gerald flew out and hit the two SWAT team members hard. He put away his dagger and walked out of the dressing room. Luo An said in a cold voice with disdain on his face:


    ��It just so happens that this is the hospital, handcuff him and take him to the operating room!


    ??By the way, there is also the bottle of medicine wasted just now, the account will be borne by him! "


    "��clear!"


    ??The two SWAT agents, eyes wide with shock on their faces, nodded quickly when they heard this and swarmed up. They handcuffed Gerald tightly, pulled a medicine cart and pushed the other toward the operating room.


    ??The two SWAT agents saw clearly that the gunshot wounds to Gerald''s chest and shoulder looked serious, but not fatal.


    ??The really serious part was Gerald''s two wrists. Roan cut off the opponent''s hand tendons with two blows. If nothing happened, Gerald would have no chance to continue to use daggers and kill people in the future.


    Jingle Bell-


    ?Selectively ignoring the nurse''s quick breathing glances, Luo An took out the ringing cell phone from his pocket:


    "What''s up?"


    "good news."


    ??It was Mona''s voice on the other end of the phone. She smiled and said:


    ��Mary was found.��

 Chapter 383： The end of the case, the truth, other victims

    Chapter 383: Ending of the case, truth, other victims


    ?According to Roan''s order, Winslow, Anwar and Cooper went to investigate the location of the underground church and the area where Nickmi delivered disinfectant and medicine every time.


    Because Mary was suffering from cancer, the underground church had been abandoned for a long time. The three of them did not find any useful clues. However, Winslow spotted a suspicious car on the camera of a store in the area where Nickmi delivered disinfectant every time.


    "Every time that car appeared, it was after Nickmi delivered something. The car left there not long after Nickmi left. Winslow felt that the car was suspicious, so he asked me to check it. "


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone explained while typing on the computer:


    ��I checked the car and found that it had a fake license plate. Road surveillance showed that the car eventually disappeared in the South Los Angeles area.��


    ? Winslow, Anwar and Cooper immediately went to the southern area of ??Los Angeles to investigate. With the help of the LAPD, they quickly found the owner of the car: the female owner of a bakery.


    After some questioning, they learned that the female boss occasionally lent her car to her best friend. After seeing a photo taken by the female bakery owner and her best friend while having dinner, the Winslows and the three found out that the best friend had put on make-up. of Mary.


    ��Well done.��


    At the door of the operating room, Luo An sat on a chair, looked at the red light above, and nodded with satisfaction:


    ��Let Winslow and the others bring the people back.��


    ��OK.��


    Not long after Mona hung up the phone, the lights in the operating room were turned off and Gerald was pushed into the ward.


    ??Luo An was sitting in the hospital, bored and waiting for news about Winslow''s actions, when Chenille suddenly called Luo An.


    ��Leader Luo An, I��ve already asked.��


    Chenelle��s signature cold voice came from the other end of the phone, and in the background there was a faint curse from a man:


    ��Crider has already explained the source and route of the smuggled drugs, which law enforcement officers he bribed, the identity of the buyer, etc.


    ?In addition, I also asked where Creed��s hidden warehouse is. "


    ����


    ??Luo An''s mouth twitched. He really didn''t expect Cheniel to ask so many things, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.


    Hearing the noise in the background of his mobile phone, Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��Is Creed okay?��


    Turning around, he glanced at Creed who was lying on the hospital bed with trembling lips and a red and purple face. He kept greeting others and looked like he was about to faint from anger. Chenelle calmly shook her head and said:


    "It''s okay, Creed is very cooperative and emotionally stable."


    As Chenelle finished speaking, the background sound on her mobile phone became noisier.


    Luo An praised Chenille and hung up the phone. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly laughed. These new agents brought him a lot of surprises. He never expected that Chenille would still return. Somewhat sinister.


    Not long after that, news came from Winslow that Mary had been successfully captured. Winslow, Anwar and Cooper were not injured, and the mission plan was a complete success.


    Not only that, Winslow also found a key to a rental warehouse in the house where Mary lived.


    Opening the door of the rental warehouse, Winslow found nineteen glass bottles inside, each containing an embalmed tongue...


    ����


    ��Jesus!��


    ��Happy gift crab!��


    ��WhatTheFu-k!��


    The next day, at nine o''clock in the morning, everyone in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team was extremely shocked when they saw the nineteen tongues that Winslow brought back.


    Lacey covered her mouth and exclaimed: "In other words, Gerald and Katarina killed a total of 19 people in the past few months?


    ? We have only found 5 so far. There are still 14 victims in the city of Los Angeles that have not been found? "


    ?Mona, Michelle, Patricia and Chenelle, who was sitting in a wheelchair, all looked extremely ugly, even though the murderer of this case had been caught.


    ��No, it��s 12.��


    Luo An walked out of the team leader��s office, raised the folder he was holding on his phone, and said:


    ��This is the list of victims that Winslow found in the rental warehouse. Because it was time to perform a religious ritual of calling out names, the murderous couple wrote down the names of all the victims.


    ?Among the twelve disciples of Jesus, one disciple, translated as John, survived and died a normal death.


    So the murderous couple just dug up the graves of two people named John who died from normal causes of death, and took the tongues of the two Johns from the corpses. "


    From the records, the original idea of ??the couple Catarina Hao and Gerald was to kill 24 people who fit the description of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and divide each person in half.


    When Catalina dies of cancer, Gerald will follow her. Accompanied by the tongues of twenty-four disciples and several candles, the two of them will become immortal devils and be together forever...


    ������xN


    ?After listening to this weird love story, and then thinking of the scene in Luo An''s mouth, all the agents in the special investigation team office area felt goosebumps on their bodies.


    ��Everyone, now that the case has been solved, the murderer has been caught, and the evidence is conclusive, it��s time for us to move on to the next step.��


    ??Luo An opened the folder, distributed the paper with the victim''s name inside to the detectives, and said:


    ��Lacie, Patricia, Cooper, and Anwar, the four of you, hurry up and find the bodies of these twelve victims.


    Chenelle, Winslow, Michelle, and Mona, the four of you are responsible for handling the serial murder case and the follow-up procedural issues of the smuggling case. "


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    All the detectives nodded in agreement. Luo An nodded with satisfaction. After everyone set off to start work, Luo An took the case report he wrote overtime last night and went to the office of the team leader.


    ?Potent-Bourne''s face suddenly darkened after listening to Luo An''s account of the case.


    He never expected that such a murderous couple would be discovered in a murder case of the Speaker of the Parliament.


    ��The nature of this case is so egregious that I need to hold a press conference.��


    After reading the case report written by Luo An, Potente Byrne raised his head and asked:


    ��As the main person in charge of the case, you must come forward this time.��


    ?After a moment of silence, Luo An nodded slowly, but he also had a request:


    ��I will only answer questions related to this case. I will not answer other questions involving myself or other cases. At the same time, I will also publicly state that I will not accept media interviews alone.��


    ? ? In the past, as a grassroots agent, early contact with the media would definitely cause inconvenience to the work, so Luo An refused to attend press conferences with Veranith several times.


    ?? Now that Luo An has been promoted to the leader of the special investigation team, despite his different status, if he still refuses to participate in the press conference, the more concealed he is, the more attention he will attract to reporters, who will think that Luo An has big news.


    Rather than having a bunch of reporters keep a close eye on him in the future, it would be better to attend the press conference openly. Without the suspense, the group of reporters who only pay attention to the news will lose much interest in him.


    ��OK.��


    Potente-Byrne nodded and agreed to Luo An''s request. The two continued to chat for a few words, and Luo An took the initiative to get up and leave the team leader''s office.


    Back to the special investigation team, Luo An immediately waved and called Michelle into the team leader''s office.


    Beside, Mona, who planned to ask Luo An something:? ? !


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 384： Harvest of the smuggling case, dinner party

    Chapter 384 Harvest of the smuggling case, dinner party


    Special Investigation Team, Team Leader��s Office.


    At this time, the team leader''s office is no longer as clear as it was at the beginning. Desks, computers, chairs, bookcases, small sofas and other items all appear in the room.


    There is a green plant in the corner of the room that Luo An doesn��t know the name of. It has become very yellow due to lack of water for a long time.


    Luo An prefers tidiness, so the documents on his desk are very neat.


    ??Usually when there is no case, Luo An pours himself a cup of tea, turns on the computer, crosses his legs, logs into the online forum to post and chat, and starts fishing openly and openly for revenge.


    ??However, Luo An did not fish today. He called Michelle into the team leader''s office to ask about something important:


    ��Michelle, have you taken stock of the gains from that smuggling case?��


    ��It��s been checked out.��


    ?Michelle nodded suddenly, tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied:


    "In that warehouse, we seized a total of 370 kilograms of marijuana among movie props, 90,000 OxyContin tablets at a 10-milligram dose, 110,000 OxyContin tablets at a 80-milligram dose, and approximately 100,000 tablets of Thelenin containing oxycodone. 190,000 pills, with a total value of approximately $14 million.


    ?In addition, the warehouse Chenelle asked Creed about also contained a small amount of marijuana leaves, a large amount of OxyContin and other pills, with a total value of approximately US$10 million. "


    ?Luo An''s eyes lit up. As he said before, FBI regulations stipulate that the investigation team that solves this kind of case can receive a certain percentage of rewards afterwards.


    The risk factor of unique product cases is high, with the proportion at 14.5%, while the proportion of smuggling cases is slightly lower, at only 9.3%.


    ? Luo An is currently in 2005, and there is still more than a month until 2006.


    A bottle of OxyContin tablets containing 10 milligrams of each pill has a wholesale price of nearly $100. The highest dose of 80 milligrams per pill costs $600 to $700 per bottle.


    ??The price is very high, but at this point in time, OxyContin is still a pain relief myth on the federal market. Regulation is not strict, and it is not regarded as a highly addictive drug in the law.


    ? It was not until 2016 that OxyContin was taken off the altar and regarded as an opioid containing opium ingredients, both a drug and a drug.


    ?So the batch of pills seized by the special investigation team this time can only be counted in ordinary smuggling cases, but not in unique product smuggling cases.


    Luo An pulled out a calculator and did a simple calculation. The special investigation team��s earnings after the incident were approximately US$2.23 million.


    ??Michelle turned and left the team leader''s office. Luo An sat in a chair and cursed a few shameless pharmaceutical groups in the federal government, then pulled the files and started to handle the follow-up work of the two cases.


    After officially becoming the leader of the special investigation team, Luo An has a lot more work that must be personally responsible for.


    ? ? Luo An can leave other ordinary tasks to other people in the special investigation team, but matters related to power and money still have to be handled by Luo An personally.


    ?Time is moving forward minute by minute, and it will soon be time to get off work.


    Musso Grill Restaurant.


    "cheers!"


    ��Cheers!��


    At a long table in the back of the restaurant, nine people from the special investigation team toasted and drank together.


    ?Luo An took a big sip of beer and said with a smile:


    ��Everyone has worked hard these days. Let��s eat more barbecue tonight. I��ll treat you!��


    ��Thank you, Team Leader Luo An!��


    After Luo An finished speaking, the eyes of all the agents lit up, and the scene suddenly burst into noise.


    There were a lot of women at the table, and Winslow, Anwar and Cooper couldn''t fit in, so the three of them turned around and started chatting with Luo An.


    Cooper is younger, not much different in age from Luo An, and the topic they chat with has always been about cars.


    The topics Winslow and Anwar chatted with Luo An never left the subject of marksmanship and fighting.


    ??The scene in the sewer where Luo An killed three enemies in an instant left a deep impression on the two of them. Winslow and Anwar have always wanted to know how Luo An did it.    "it''s actually really easy."


    Hearing this question, Luo An took a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth, and answered with a smile:


    ��I��m just a little faster than them and a little stronger than them.��


    Roan thought he had said it clearly, while Winslow and Anwar were full of doubts.


    The two of them looked at each other. This was a restaurant and it was not suitable for a competition of marksmanship. So Winslow picked up his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. He looked at Luo An proudly and expressed that he wanted to test his strength by wrestling with Luo An.


    ?Winslow and Anwar had already competed in private, and the two were equally matched. In the end, Winslow relied on his own strength to last longer, slightly overpowering Anwar.


    As for Cooper, although he also has a lot of muscles, his strength can only be considered average. The muscles he exercises are mostly for picking up girls.


    ��OK, no problem!��


    ??Seeing the amused expressions on Anwar and Cooper''s faces, as well as Winslow''s provocative eyes, Luo An swept away the barbecue on the plate and nodded in agreement without hesitation.


    Upon seeing this, Anwar and Cooper immediately stood up and left the table to prepare a suitable place for Roan and Winslow.


    Mona, Lacey, Chenelle and Patricia next to them were also attracted by the movements of the four men.


    Turning around, she found that it was Luo An and Winslow who were about to compete with each other. Mona immediately lost interest and went back to discuss the new women''s clothing and cosmetics in Hollywood with Patricia.


    ??Lacie was also not interested in the arm wrestling between men. She glanced at Winslow funny, then came close to Chenelle again and chatted with her in a low voice.


    ??Patricia and Chenelle were a little curious about the competition. While chatting, they also watched the scene, and were somewhat confused about how long Roan could last in Winslow''s hands.


    Soon, Luo An and Winslow sat face to face. Cooper sat next to them and helped them clear away the food on the table. Anwar acted as a temporary referee, covering the right hands of Luo An and Winslow, confirming that the two were After getting ready, he said:


    ��Three, two, one, start!��


    After finishing his words, Winslow immediately exerted his strength on his arm, preparing to find out where Luo An''s strength is at the upper limit, and then knock down Luo An.


    What shocked Winslow was that as his strength continued to increase, he found that he had never figured out Luo An''s background.


    Until Winslow exerted all his strength, veins popped up on his arms. Although Luo An''s face was solemn, his arms were still straight and not skewed at all.


    Luo An is a head shorter than Winslow. Although he has muscles, he is not as big as Winslow. As a result, the two are now evenly matched. Anwar, Cooper, Chenier and Patri looked at this scene. The four Xia people all widened their eyes.


    Just when the four of them began to guess how long Luo An could hold on, Winslow''s eyes suddenly turned red and he grabbed his thigh with his left hand because he found that Luo An actually started to increase his strength and put his hand downwards. Pressed!


    score


    ?A few seconds later, under the shocked gazes of Cooper, Chenelle and Patricia, Winslow''s right hand was severely pressed to the table by Roan''s right hand.


    ��OK, the game is over!��


    Before Winslow could react with shock on his face, Luo An took out his right hand, pushed a large glass of beer in front of Winslow, and laughed loudly:


    ��You lose! Drink!��


    Winslow, who was absolutely confident in his own strength, had disbelief written all over his face. After reacting, he picked up the large wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp. Then he extended his left hand to Luo An and said loudly:


    ��Continue! This time we compete with the left hand!��


    Roan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at the three large wine glasses filled with beer next to the stunned Cooper, and asked with a smile:


    "you sure?"


    "I am sure!"

 Chapter 385： Candidate, Request of John Rodriguez

    Chapter 385 Candidates, John Rodriguez��s request


    After a moment, Winslow looked at his left hand, which was pinned down by Luo An on the dining table, and fell silent for a moment.


    ?Anwar, Cooper, Cheniel and Patricia had incredible expressions on their faces, and the way they looked at Roan changed completely.


    ??They never expected that Luo An''s strength would be greater than Winslow, the strongest among them, and Luo An seemed to be able to do it with ease!


    Luo An, who drank a bottle of stamina potion every day and prepared another bottle of strength potion every few days, chuckled and without saying anything else, he directly pushed the three large glasses of beer in front of Winslow and picked up another small glass. of:


    "drink wine!"


    "drink wine!"


    Winslow looked at Luo An deeply with admiration, first stretched out his right hand and gave Luo An a thumbs up, then picked up three large glasses of beer on the table, drank them all in one gulp three times in a row, and then again Start chatting with Luo An.


    With Winslow''s actions and attitude of admitting defeat, the atmosphere on both sides of the table became heated again. The dinner lasted until ten o''clock in the evening. Everyone was drunk and could not drive, so they tried their best to take a taxi or ask friends to pick them up. He went home.


    Winslow, Anwar, Cooper, Chenier and Patricia were only temporarily seconded to the Special Investigation Team in this case. On the third day after the dinner, they returned to their respective places. The office area of ??his original department, the Special Investigation Team, has also returned to its original empty appearance.


    These five people performed very well in this case, and Luo An would not do anything to make things worse. On the day the five people returned to their original departments, Luo An distributed the bonuses they should receive after solving the case. past.


    "so��"


    ??On Friday, when it was time to go to work, Potente Byrne looked at Luo An sitting at his desk in the team leader''s office and asked with a smile:


    ��Which of these five people do you plan to transfer to the special investigation team?��


    ??Luo An chuckled and handed the report he wrote to Potente Byrne. Potente Byrne opened the folder and there were two names in it:


    Che Anne, Winslow.


    ��Are they just these two people?��


    Potente-Byrne took a brief look at it, closed the folder, and asked with a smile:


    "The special investigation team has seven people. Even if you add these two people, your special investigation team only has six people."


    "enough."


    ? Luo An shook his head. For a special team like the Special Investigation Team, there are not many agents who are skilled.


    ?Luo An himself is at the home court, strategizing and processing clues in the case, and is the brains of the special investigation team.


    He thinks he is the face of the Special Investigation Team.


    ??Mona is responsible for computers, investigating case clues through the Internet, and the internal network information security of the special investigation team.


    Lacie is responsible for investigating clues offline. Her camouflage skills, investigative abilities, physical fitness, and reaction speed when encountering unexpected situations are all excellent.


    Michelle is responsible for the follow-up procedures and documents after the case is over. She has some knowledge of computers and can assist Mona. She also has good information processing and identification skills and coordination and support capabilities. She can assist Lacey and Luo An and is a qualified logistics assistant. personnel.


    ?Chenelle has been working in the International Business Department and has outstanding abilities in adaptability, marksmanship, interrogation and counter-interrogation.


    Not to mention Winslow from the hostage rescue team, he is an absolute elite. His ability, spirit, thinking, experience, etc. are not comparable to ordinary agents.


    When Chenelle, Winslow and Lacey go out to perform investigative tasks, their safety will be greatly improved in case of emergencies.


    ��OK.��


    Potente-Byrne nodded and agreed to Luo An��s request, but it took some time to go through the process. It would take at least two weeks for Winslow and Chenelle to officially join the special investigation team.


    This little time does not matter to Luo An, he is not in a hurry anyway.


    ?Back at the Special Investigation Team, Luo An found that Mona and Michelle were the only ones in the office area, so he asked with some confusion:


    ��Where is Lacey?�� Michelle looked up from her desk and replied:


    ��Lacie asked me to ask you for leave. She felt unwell and went to the hospital.��


    Luo An frowned:


    ��What is the specific situation?��


    Michelle shook her head:


    ��I don��t know, she didn��t elaborate.��


    "All right."


    ??Luo An nodded and signaled Michelle to call Lacey later and told her that she didn''t have to go to work today. He gave Lacey a day off and then turned back to the team leader''s office.


    ?After the dinner party the night before yesterday, the former CIA and current group president John Rodriguez came to the special investigation team again at noon yesterday.


    John Rodriguez did not sell out this time. He came to Luo An with only one request, and that was to ask Luo An for help and introduce him to Mr. Clement.


    Luo An quickly guessed the situation that John Rodriguez was facing. It must be Wander and others from the CIA who began to use John''s status as the president of the Muller Group to ask him to use the resources of the Muller Group to help outside the federation. CIA does things.


    ??Now that John Rodriguez has left the CIA, he just wants to ensure that his daughter can successfully inherit an intact and wealthy Muller Group.


    ?Using the Mueller Group to do things for the CIA will eventually come to light, and no one can tell what will happen to the Mueller Group by then.


    ??As a former CIA insider, John knew that he alone could not compete with Wander and others. The only way was to embrace another thigh.


    Luo An��s leg is promising in the future, but it is not fully developed yet and is not big enough.


    ?The thighs that can satisfy John''s needs are not enough for Verenis, only Mr. Clement behind Verenis.


    As for John Rodriguez''s request, Luo An thought about it and did not refuse.


    It is not difficult for Luo An to do this, and he can have a good relationship with John. After all, John is a rich man who controls a large group. Even if Luo An does not take this path, it will be wasteful at best to follow other people''s path. Take some time.


    ?Secondly, although doing this will make the CIA feel unhappy, the CIA will only feel unhappy with Luo An, and will not attack Luo An, who has a background and connections.


    Three... John Rodriguez is willing to pay Luan two million dollars for this matter.


    ??It''s not that Luo An likes money, he mainly appreciates John, a man who can do great things at first glance, and is willing to help him.


    ??After receiving Roan''s introduction, John took the time and restaurant location set by Mr. Clement''s secretary, grinned and thanked him repeatedly and left the special investigation team.


    What happened after that had nothing to do with Luo An. He was not interested in what conditions Clement and John would reach. After collecting the check left by John, Luo An took a sip from the tea cup, turned on the computer, and started his daily routine. fishing life.


    During this period, Luo An called a high-end Western restaurant, booked two seats for Saturday night, and bought two movie tickets. He planned to go relax and have fun with Mona that day.


    ?Mainly because Luo An didn��t know why, Mona was always having a little temper these past few nights. While tossing around like crazy, she was extremely stubborn even though she was too tired to move.


    But it did bring some new experiences to Luo An...


    Just when Luo An was thinking wildly, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the team leader''s office. When he opened the door of the team leader''s office, Luo An found that Lacey had returned to the special investigation team, and she actually had some injuries on her face.

 Chapter 386： The injury on Laceys face, news about Monas father

    Chapter 386: The injury on Lacey��s face, news about Mona��s father


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ??The injuries on Lacey''s face were not serious, and she used cosmetics to cover them up. Unless they looked closely, ordinary people could not see the marks on Lacey''s face.


    ?But there are no ordinary people in the Special Investigation Team. Mona, Michelle and Roan quickly discovered the cover-up Lacey put on her face.


    ??Mona quickly moved her chair to Lacey''s side and asked with concern on her face:


    ��What��s going on? What happened to you last night?��


    While talking, Michelle wanted to pull Lacey to sit on a chair, but Lacey hurriedly took a step back to avoid Michelle''s hand. Only then did Mona and Michelle realize that Lacey''s arm was also injured. A little injury.


    "hehe��"


    Seeing Roan, Mona and Michelle all focusing on her, Lacey smiled awkwardly:


    ��It��s okay, it��s just that I accidentally touched it while driving last night. I just need to rest for a day and it will be fine.��


    "Your excuse is as clumsy as if you accidentally fell down while walking on the road."


    ?Luo An poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Lacey, smiling:


    ��I remember you left with Chenier yesterday... You won��t attack Chenier, right?��


    Luo An doesn��t know Chenille��s orientation, but because she works in the International Business Department, Chenille��s mind and senses are very sensitive.


    ??If Lacey really took advantage of Chenille''s drunkenness last night and took advantage of her, she might have been beaten a few times by Chenelle''s subconscious reaction.


    ��Not Chenelle.��


    Lacey shook her head repeatedly. She had always been the main attacker when getting along with people of the same sex. After learning about Chenelle''s amazing performance in the warehouse, she briefly compared her own skills with Chenelle''s and found that she probably couldn''t beat her. .


    ?Chenelle also has a strong character, and I''m afraid there will be a fight over who will be on top. Lacey can''t beat her, and she doesn''t want to be on the bottom, so she lost interest in Chenelle.


    Seeing the curiosity in the eyes of Luo An, Mona and Michelle, who would not give up until the reason was asked, Lacey twitched the corner of her mouth, remained silent for a few seconds, and whispered:


    ��Well, it was an accident.��


    Lacie said that she met a female college student majoring in acting at a university in Los Angeles in a bar last night.


    The experienced Lacey quickly returned to the other party''s university dormitory with the other party, preparing to return to college.


    In the dormitory, Lacey played a game with a female college student who is good at acting. As a result, the other party''s acting skills were too superb. She accidentally misunderstood her roommate who had learned some women''s self-defense and fighting skills. She must not be distracted by alcohol and critical moments. Under the influence, Lacey didn''t react at all.


    ����


    ?Roan, Mona and Michelle all rolled their eyes, turned around and left Lacey aside, selectively ignoring Lacey''s next words of help for some trivial matters.


    The day of the special investigation team once again reached the end of the day with a lot of fights and fights. Tomorrow and the next two days are Saturday and Sunday. Michelle, like before, bought some fast food and went home to read.


    ??Lacie went straight to the bar as usual, even though her right arm was inconvenient and couldn''t suppress her restless heart, she still had a left arm anyway.


    ??Due to being busy with cases these past few days, the rental house has not been tidied up very much. Mona drove her car home first. Luo An finally left the special investigation team and used the public car privately to start the SUV and go to a large supermarket to buy ingredients.


    ? Luo An has not eaten hot pot since he came to this world. He plans to have a big meal tonight to satisfy his craving.


    ??The supermarket Luo An went to was a large membership supermarket in Los Angeles. Luo An did not take the initiative to apply for the membership card, but it was one of the convenient little gains he got after the previous bombing of the first lady, like lifetime discounts or free hotel rooms.


    The supermarket has a wide variety of meat and seafood, and Luo An bought a lot of them.


    There are not too many types of vegetables, but not too many. Luo An only picked some types that Mona likes to eat on weekdays.


    After buying a mandarin duck hot pot, Luo An drove to a Chinese store and bought two kinds of spicy and non-spicy hot pot bases.


    The two of them had some entertainment after the meal. It might not be very convenient if the food is too spicy.


    In the rental house, Mona looked at the boiling mandarin duck pot and a lot of ingredients, tilting her head in confusion:


    ��This is... hotpot (hot pot)?�� ��That��s right, have you eaten it before?��


    ��I ate it once in Chinatown with some classmates when I was in college. It was very spicy.��


    ?? Mona talked about this with a frightened expression on her face:


    ��I felt sick to my stomach for a long time after eating.��


    ��So I made two flavors today, you can have the non-spicy one.��


    ??Luo An mixed the dipping sauce and handed it to Mona, and then took a piece of meat from the non-spicy grid and put it into Mona''s bowl.


    ??Took a bite, and Mona��s eyes lit up:


    ��It��s not spicy, and it tastes pretty good.��


    ��There is also seafood here that I have prepared. You can try it.��


    ��OK.��


    It is naturally not suitable to drink red wine when eating hot pot. Luo An and Mona chatted while drinking beer. During this period, Mona also tried to eat a few mouthfuls of food in the spicy pot. Her ears turned red, her heartbeat accelerated, and Luo An''s lips became dry.


    After finishing the hot pot, the two simply cleared the table. When they opened the window to let out the smell, Luo An sat on the sofa with Mona in his arms, and they rested quietly together watching the program on the TV.


    Snapped-


    ?Suddenly, Mona grabbed a restless hand on her body and gave Luo An a pair of white eyes.


    ?? Luo An chuckled, and just as he was about to turn up the sound of the TV program, Mona suddenly stood up from his arms, looked at Luo An and said seriously:


    ��Luo An, I received a message before that my father will return to the Federation in about a month.��


    ����


    Hearing this, Luo An''s agitated heart suddenly cooled down and he was a little confused:


    ��I remember you said before that your father would return to the Federation in six months?��


    At that time, Roan and Mona were still in New York, and it has only been two and a half months now.


    ��He didn��t tell me why the time was advanced.��


    ??Mona shook her head. She didn''t know what the reason behind it was. She told Luo An about this because she wanted to ask Luo An what she should do.


    Not seeing each other for many years, her mother died alone without anyone, but her father never stopped giving her money on time for many years so that she could go to college... These things made Mona have complicated feelings towards her father, and she didn''t know how to deal with it. to each other.


    ??Luo An reached out and hugged Mona into his arms again, whispering to comfort Mona. At the same time, his expression was a little strange.


    This is the first time in his two lives that Luo An has to face a creature like his girlfriend��s father. It would be false to say that he is not nervous, but he is extremely nervous and not afraid... in short, his emotions are quite complicated.


    Because of this incident, Luo An and Mona lost interest tonight. They lay on the bed and hugged each other and slept quietly all night.


    The next day, Saturday, seeing that Mona was in a low mood and absent-minded, and listless when washing up, Luo An took her directly to the Los Angeles Disneyland, visited all the areas inside, and played crazily for a whole day from opening to closing. sky.


    In the evening, the two of them watched a movie in the cinema, and then went to the restaurant Luo An had booked before, where they rested and enjoyed the food.


    A few hours later, in the apartment at night, Mona pushed Luo An onto the sofa, grabbed the collar of Luo An''s clothes, raised her chin and looked down, and asked arrogantly:


    ��Say, what crime have you committed?��


    Looking at his cuffed hands, Luo An grinned.

 Chapter 387： Mona Talks, Gains, New Cases

    Chapter 387 Mona��s conversation, harvest, new case


    On Sunday, Mona, who felt the sun''s rays, muttered something unhappily, and without opening her eyes, she pulled up the quilt and covered her head.


    "Time to wake up."


    ??Luo An pushed the door open and walked into the room, put a glass of water on the cabinet next to the bed, pulled the quilt off Mona''s head, and said with a smile:


    ��If you don��t get up, your share of dinner will be gone.��


    ��I won��t have breakfast, I��ll have it at noon!��


    ??Mona reluctantly snatched the quilt back and covered her head again. After a few seconds, she suddenly lifted the quilt and said doubtfully:


    ��Dinner?��


    ��Yes, dinner.��


    ??Luo An stepped aside to get out of the way, and the familiar sun appeared in front of Mona''s eyes.


    But what is different from the past is that today the sun is not on the left side of the room window, but on the right side.


    Seeing the sun clearly on the west side of the sky, Mona stood up suddenly and sat up, with a face full of shock and said:


    ����How come it��s night? I��ve been sleeping all day?!��


    ��Get dressed, wash up, eat, and change the sheets later.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, put the water glass into Mona''s hand, pushed aside some messy hair and kissed Mona gently on the face, then turned and walked out of the room.


    Mona, who had just woken up, was a little slow in thinking. She subconsciously picked up the water glass and took a sip. Then she realized and looked down at the sheets in Luo An''s mouth.


    Seeing the moonlight of the lotus pond on the sheets, Mona''s face turned red and she finally recalled what happened last night.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??Muttered a curse under her breath, Mona quickly got up and walked to the bathroom. After getting out of bed, she felt her noodle-like legs, and Mona cursed even louder.


    While washing up, Mona''s mind was filled with doubts. Books and computers said that men must be the ones who lose the battle in the end. Why was it the other way around for her?


    ??Mona was thinking randomly while washing up. At the same time, Luo An was sitting at the dining table eating quietly.


    It seemed like nothing happened to him, but the movements of raising his legs from time to time to adjust the ballistic trajectory still showed that Luo An was far from being as calm as he appeared on the surface.


    Stamina potion can make Luo An energetic and increase his physical fitness and endurance little by little, but it will not change the composition of human muscles.


    The strength can be increased, the time can be increased, but the wear and tear cannot be repaired, and hemostatic medicine does not care about this aspect.


    A few minutes later, Luo An finished eating and sat on a chair to rest. Mona finished washing and walked to the dining table. After sitting down, she stared at Luo An with gritted teeth, knocked the table hard, and said viciously:


    ��Roan! Weneedtotalk! (We need to talk!)��


    "Um?"


    ? Luo An was startled. These words seemed familiar. He seemed to be seen often in some American TV series.


    score


    Seeing Luo An stunned, Mona knocked on the table again and repeated what she just said.


    Luo An spread his hands:


    ��OK, what do you want to talk about?��


    ��About time!��


    Mona said with a serious face that the kind of war last night was wrong. It was the oppression of women by men and it was tyranny.


    Luo An��s mouth twitched when he heard this:


    ��It��s obviously you...��


    ��Stop!��


    As soon as Luo An finished speaking, he was interrupted by the shy and angry Mona who raised her hand. Luo An didn''t listen to the principles that Mona said next, but focused on the system interface in his mind.


    ? Luo An successfully solved the disappearance case and the serial murder case. The system rated him as excellent and extremely excellent respectively, and a total of 9 treasure boxes were opened.


    At this time, in Luo An��s system warehouse page, there is [Hemostatic Potion x6]


    ��Antidote x5��


    ��Swift Potion x3��


    ��Strength Potion x1��


    ��Sensitive Agent x2��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x5��


    ��Featherfall Potion x3��


    ��Stamina Potion x9��


    ��Sleep Potion x2��


    ��Scuba Potion x2��


    ��Weakness Potion x2��


    The [Danger Perception Potion] that Luo An wanted was not prescribed. He always wanted to know whether there would be any new changes in the "emotional perception" in his mind if he continued to take this potion.


    ?????????At this moment, the sound of Mona knocking on the table reached Roan''s ears, and at the same time, Mona''s question came:


    ��Luo An? Luo An!


    Did you hear me? "


    Luo An, who came back to his senses, nodded subconsciously:


    ��I heard it, I heard it.��


    ��What did I just say?��


    ��I think what you said makes sense, and I agree very much.��


    ��Roan Greenwood!!��


    ����


    The next day, Monday, the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    ? Winslow and Chenelle were still going through the procedures and had not yet arrived at the Special Investigation Team. At this time, Michelle, Lacey and Mona were sitting together in the office area bored.


    Michelle, who has a relatively normal daily routine, is in good spirits. Lacey��s injuries on her face and arms have improved a lot, but I don��t know what she went through during the two days over the weekend, and now she feels a little depressed.


    ??Mona slept all day during the day yesterday and couldn''t sleep at night. She only managed to sleep for three hours in the early morning. Now she feels a little sleepy and not particularly energetic.


    ??But when they talked about the new women''s clothing and newly launched cosmetics in the Grove Shopping Center near Beverly Hills, Mona and Lacey immediately became energetic.


    Next to him, Michelle, who was not particularly concerned about these things: ������


    ��Good morning, everyone.��


    At this moment, Luo An opened the door of the special investigation team and walked in. He raised the folder in his hand and said loudly:


    ��As expected, a new case came up.


    Michelle, Mona, you two investigate the victim��s financial situation and the surveillance video of the victim��s vicinity when he was killed.


    Lacie, come with me on a field trip. "


    ��OK!��


    "clear!"


    ??The black SUV drove forward quickly. Lacey sat in the passenger seat, looked at the information in the folder, and frowned:


    ��At 2:30 a.m. on Monday, in Room 1196 on the 11th floor of a hotel, Los Angeles judge Taylor Davis was shot in the head with a sniper rifle from a long distance while her daughter was exercising.


    ?The victim, Taylor Davis, is 46 years old, a newly appointed judge, and has a wife and a son...


    At the time of the incident, the lucky daughter��s name was Samia, she was 26 years old, and the LAPD recorded that she had been working in the industry for 3 years����


    Luo An nodded:


    ��The murderer used a sniper rifle, so the case was handed over to us.��


    ��Another guy who **** behind his wife��s back.��


    Looking at the middle-aged white man with meticulously combed hair in the photo, Lacey sneered, turned the page, and started reading other information.


    Soon, the SUV arrived at the hotel where the crime occurred. Luo An shook hands with the LAPD sergeant guarding the scene. Under the leadership of the other party, he met a young white woman with a nervous face.


    Lacey recognized the other party as Samia, the lucky girl at the time of the incident, but why was there a white young man holding her tightly next to the other party?


    ��I am Samia��s boyfriend.��


    Hearing Luo An��s question, the white young man Spark quickly stood up and replied:


    ��I can guarantee that Samia has nothing to do with this case!��


    ? ����OK.��


    Lacie and Luo An looked at each other. Lacey pointed at the scene behind her and asked uncertainly:


    ��You know what Samia was doing here last night, right?��


    "I know."


    Sparkle nodded:


    ��I was waiting for her downstairs.


    We have already booked a restaurant, and when she finishes, we will go there to eat together. "


    ����


    After chatting for a while, Luo An and Lacey learned that Spark and Samia had known each other for five years. They were both Christians and had never done anything as a couple. The two agreed to have their first time together. Stay on your wedding night.


    Lacey froze on the spot. Luo An was silent for a few seconds and asked in a low voice:


    ��So, you haven��t done those things yet?��


    Spike''s eyes were a little wandering when he heard this, and he replied:


    ��No, my uncle and I had something to do, but I��ve almost forgotten about it.��


    Luo An, Lacey: ��???��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 388： [The case of the judge being sniped during the sports event at the Hotel]

    Chapter 388 [Case of being sniped during the Judge Hotel Movement]


    ?Monday, nine o''clock in the morning, room 1196 on the 11th floor of a hotel.


    ??This room is a very common suite in the Federal Hotel. There are two LAPD officers standing at the door of the suite, and several FBI agents from the Trace Inspection Section are working inside the room.


    On the big bed in the bedroom, there lay the body of a middle-aged white man without clothes. The cause of death was a bullet wound on the victim��s head.


    There wasn''t too much blood on the bed, but there were a lot of yellow and white things on the sheets, which looked very visual.


    There was a clear bullet hole next to the glass not far from the big bed. Using technical means, detectives from the Trace Inspection Section quickly located the location where the murderer shot: the 14th floor of the high-rise office building diagonally opposite the hotel.


    In the bedroom, a group of Trace Inspection Section agents were handling the scene in an orderly manner. Outside, in the corner of the living room, the air was extremely quiet.


    After listening to Spark''s narration, even Lacey, who was born and raised in the Federation, felt that the amount of information was a bit overwhelming. Luo An felt even more emotional in his heart. The Federation is worthy of being a beacon to the world. The 2005 version was so far ahead of other countries. many.


    ??Luo An also suspected that Spark''s true identity was Chicken Head at the beginning, and Samia was just one of his lucky daughters.


    However, after calling Mona, I learned that Speck��s identity information showed that he was just an ordinary office worker. He went to church every week, had some money saved in his account, and even made a reservation with Samia for a year. After the wedding hall, there is no problem.


    Hang up the phone, Luo An looked at Sparks with admiration in his eyes.


    Spike couldn''t find any clues here, so Luo An turned his attention to the person involved in the crime scene last night who witnessed everything, Samia, who had a clear distinction between public and private matters.


    ��I was shocked!��


    In response to Luo An��s question, Samia took the tissue handed by Spark, adjusted her mood and replied:


    ��Tyler is an old customer of mine, and he called me yesterday afternoon to make an appointment for this room and time.


    After we got here, we both drank a little wine to cheer us up, and then..."


    ��Pause, Samia.��


    ??Roan quickly stopped Samia''s detailed description of last night''s process. It wasn''t that he was embarrassed, but that Spark''s boyfriend sat aside and listened nonchalantly. The impact of this scene was really too great.


    Luo An��s version has not been upgraded to this point, so he said:


    ��Samia, you can directly describe the moment when the crime occurred.


    In addition, how is the victim Taylor Davis feeling today? Is there any performance that is different from the past? "


    ��I was down there when the incident occurred. Before I could react, I heard the sound of glass breaking, and then I noticed that Taylor was not moving.��


    Samia then said that she was shocked, and she quickly ran out of bed and lay on the ground behind the bed. In a panic, she first called Speck downstairs for help. Speck helped dial the police number. .


    As for Luo An��s next two questions, Samia said that Taylor-Davis was no different from before. He didn��t mention anything about work. Even the entire process and posture were exactly the same as before, with nothing new.


    ??Spark and Samia both had a look of disdain in their eyes.


    ����OK, thank you.��


    ? Luo An twitched the corner of his mouth, nodded and left the living room with Lacey. Upon seeing this, the LAPD waiting nearby took the two away from the scene.


    After all, Samia is engaged in the work of physically helping others. Although calling the police is commendable and can be exempted from imprisonment, she still has to pay a fine.


    ��Samia and Sparks should have nothing to do with this case.��


    Lacey, who was also eye-opening, shook the phone in her hand and said:


    ��Michelle found the surveillance video at the entrance of the hotel at the time of the incident. Spark was indeed waiting in the car and never got out of the car.��


    ?Luo An raised his hand and rubbed his temples with a complicated expression.


    It''s not that they are worried because they didn''t get any clues, but that Spark and Samia regard this kind of thing as a normal "job", and one code is the same, and the version of values ????that separates public and private is a bit ahead of its time, Luo An Admit that you are lagging behind and need to slow down. ��Team Leader Greenwood.��


    At this moment, an agent from the Trace Inspection Section came over, holding a transparent bag in his hand, which contained a bullet stained with a lot of red and white.


    ��This is the murder weapon we found in the bedroom.��


    Luo An took the bullet handed to him and looked at it, frowning slightly:


    ��This is a .338 Lap Magnum bullet.��


    ��That��s right.��


    The agent from the Trace Inspection Section nodded:


    ��One of the most common sniper rifle bullets on the market, suitable for many types of sniper rifles.��


    Luo An returned the transparent packaging bag to the Trace Inspection Section agent. Lacey glanced at the building in the distance and asked:


    ��Have you checked the location of the sniper?��


    ��Two of my colleagues have been there.��


    ? Trace Inspection Section detectives return to:


    ��Based on the sniper rifle ballistic test, my colleagues determined that the location where the sniper fired was the corner of the stairs on the 14th floor of the office building.


    But unfortunately, there were no surveillance cameras there. The murderer also took away the bullet casings after firing a shot, and nothing was found at the scene. "


    ��Thank you for your hard work. Please let us know as soon as the bullet trajectory report is completed.��


    ��OK, no problem.��


    There were no useful findings at the crime scene. Luo An and Lacey went to the office building opposite the hotel and walked around the location where the murderer shot. They also found no useful clues and drove back to the special investigation team.


    ��Can you two pretty ladies tell me any good news?��


    ? ? Pushing open the door of the special investigation team, Luo An looked at Mona and Michelle and asked with a smile:


    ��Lacey and I gained nothing this time...but we gained some insights.��


    ��Have gained knowledge? What does it mean?��


    Mona asked casually, then moved her chair and took a step back, looking at the computer and said:


    "Judge Taylor-Davis''s personal financial situation is good, and his family''s financial situation is not a problem. Among the couple''s loans, except for the college loan, the car loan and the house loan were all paid off a year ago. Now their account is poorer than mine. .��


    ��Sure enough, even for a judge, it��s not easy to pay off college loans quickly.��


    ??Lacie picked up her coffee and took a sip and complained speechlessly. She also had unpaid college loans on her shoulders.


    Michelle next to him continued:


    ��Judge Taylor-Davis��s son is still in school, and his wife will arrive here soon. She is not in Los Angeles during this time and has gone to Texas on a business trip.��


    ??Roan walked to Michelle, bent down and glanced at the photo of Taylor-Davis''s wife on the computer. She was a middle-aged white woman with glasses and a very attractive face, named Heather. Roan asked:


    ��How likely is it that this case is related to Heather? Killing for love? Jealousy? Revenge?��


    ��I don��t know, but the probability is not high.��


    ?Mona loaded Heather��s personal information, consumption records, and travel records for the past year onto her computer desktop and said:


    ��Heather has traveled to Texas several times for business in the past year, stayed in hotels many times, and many times other men were seen staying in the same room as her.


    But there is no record of quarrels and conflicts between Heather and Taylor in the records. I suspect that the two of them are likely to have an open marriage. "


    ��six.��


    Luo An, who was several steps behind in the version, was a little speechless. He swallowed his desire to complain, and then asked:


    ��How is Judge Taylor-Davies�� work? Has he sinned against anyone or had any conflicts with anyone in his recent work?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 389： The murderers target, the victims wife, suspected

    Chapter 389: The murderer��s target, the victim��s wife, the suspect


    ��Tyler-Davis has only been a Los Angeles City Judge for six months. He is a new judge and has not handled many cases.��


    ?Mona called out the cases that Taylor-Davis handled after becoming a judge. There are all kinds of cases in them.


    Roan took a quick glance and saw that Taylor-Davis''s legal literacy was pretty good. Judging from the records in the file, the decisions made by Taylor-Davis were basically in compliance with federal laws.


    ?However, Luo An was just a bystander and did not know the details of those cases. He knew that in these cases, there must be some witnesses who were dissatisfied with the judge''s judgment.


    Luo An thought for a while, walked to the front of the office area, wrote and drew on the whiteboard, and said while writing:


    ��According to Samia��s description, the moment Taylor-Davis was shot, she was dazed on the bed for a long time, and five or six seconds later she screamed and ran off the bed and lay on the ground to hide.


    This period of time was enough for the sniper to fire another shot to kill Samia, but the sniper did not. Instead, he simply put away the gun, picked up the bullet casing and left the scene.


    The target of the murderer is very clear, that is Taylor Davis.


    ??The reason why she didn��t kill Samia was either because she was in a hurry to leave the scene; or because she felt it was unnecessary to kill Samia and was too lazy to kill her. "


    Lacie thought for a while and added:


    ��There is another possibility. The sniper cherishes her beauty and does not want to kill Samia.��


    ��The probability is there, but not high.��


    Roan nodded, looked at Mona and Michelle, and added:


    ��The murderer has a very high level of sniping. He is either a professional killer or a veteran and must have experience in this field.


    Mona, Michelle, you two are now going to investigate the cases that Taylor Davis handled during his lifetime, and see who the parties involved in the cases, and their relatives and friends, meet the conditions I mentioned. "


    ��OK.��


    "no problem."


    ? Mona and Michelle immediately agreed to start working. At this time, the landline phone next to them rang. Lacey answered the call and said a few words, then looked back at Luo An:


    ��Tyler Davis�� wife is downstairs.��


    ��OK, go ahead and bring the people up.��


    ??Luo An stood up and walked to the conference room to wait. Five minutes later, Heather, who was wearing a women''s suit and gold-rimmed glasses, with a curvy figure and the charm of a mature woman, walked into the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team in a dusty atmosphere.


    ?As expected from Luo An, except for the exhaustion from the journey, Heather''s face did not have the sadness and grief that would appear on a wife''s face when she learned of her husband''s death in other cases.


    Heather was very calm. She was not angry after hearing that Taylor Davis died on the bed. She just remained silent for a few seconds, opened her handbag, took out a women''s cigarette, looked at Luo An, and asked:


    "May I?"


    ��Please do it.��


    ?Luo An raised his hand to indicate that it was okay. Lacey next to him took out a pen and began to write and draw in a small notebook.


    After finishing all the women''s cigarettes, Heather picked up the coffee on the conference table and drank it in one gulp. She leaned back and crossed her legs, speaking in a rather cold tone:


    ��Many people in the Federation are killed by gunfire every year, but very few are killed by sniper rifles. I didn��t expect Taylor to become one of these people.��


    ��Unexpected things happen in life.��


    Seeing that Heather''s mood was quite stable, Luo An stopped talking nonsense and asked directly:


    ��Has Taylor-Davis been threatened by anyone recently?��


    ��I don��t know, I haven��t received any threats here.��


    While speaking, Heather took out a key from her handbag and put it on the conference table, then pushed towards Luo An with slight force:


    ��This is the key to our house. Taylor��s computer and personal belongings are in the study. There is a small part in the bedroom. You can take them all away for investigation.��


    ?Hold the key sliding on the conference table, Luo An raised his eyebrows and said:


    "In most federal cases, when one spouse dies, the other spouse is suspected to a certain extent. Ms. Heather, what do you think of this sentence?"


    Hearing this, Heather glanced at Luo An with interest, took out a women''s cigarette from her handbag again, took a puff, and then replied:


    ��Obviously, I am that small part of what you are talking about. I know that Taylor is looking for women outside, and we discussed this matter before we got married.


    I can''t meet his needs, and he can''t meet mine. Instead of quarreling and torturing each other after marriage, it''s better to set conditions in advance and let go.


    ??Tyler and I have a good relationship. We can help each other at work and in relationships. He needs me and I need him. Marriage is just a way to strengthen the connection between us. "


    ?Luo An''s eyes trembled. He really didn''t expect that the words "the relationship is very good" would appear in the adjectives of the relationship between husband and wife.


    ??Luo An and Lacey then asked some questions, and Heather did not hide anything. She answered all the questions openly and directly. Her attitude was very good. She was the most cooperative person Luo An had met in a long time.


    A few minutes later, Heather asked:


    ��Are there any other questions? If not, can I leave?


    I need to go to school to see my son first, and then I need to go to other states for a business trip, and some work has not been completed. "


    ����No problem, please do as you please, but the phone will remain open at all times.��


    ��OK.��


    ?After receiving Roan''s affirmative reply, Heather got up from her chair, walked out of the special investigation team with her handbag in hand, and made a phone call in the corridor. It was not difficult to tell from her words that the topic was related to her work.


    Looking at Heather''s resolute back, Lacey was speechless. Roan thought for a while, looked back at Mona, and asked:


    ��By the way, did Heather and Taylor buy each other��s personal safety insurance with high compensation?��


    ��No.��


    ?Mona shook her head and said that she had checked before and found that the two of them did not have such insurance. Instead, their son had a personal accident insurance with a compensation amount of 1 million, and the beneficiaries were the couple.


    ��Scare me.��


    After listening to Mona��s description, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, while Lacey let out a long sigh of relief.


    If the insurance payout on their son exceeds three million, Lacey will suspect that the reason behind this case is that Heather first hired a murderer to kill Taylor to prevent him from sharing the money or to prevent herself from killing her son, and then killed her son. Cheating insurance money.


    Hearing this, Luo An glanced at Lacey with a strange expression. Lacey raised her eyebrows when she saw this:


    "What''s wrong? This Ms. Heather is obviously a more rational person than emotional person. If she encounters unsolvable difficulties, I would never be surprised that she would do such a thing."


    "maybe."


    ??Roan did not argue with Lacey about this matter, and his judgment of Ms. Heather was similar. She was very rational, direct, resolute, extremely self-centered, did not care about other people''s eyes, had her own values, and firmly believed in them.


    ?Throwing the key that Heather had just given to her to Lacey, Roan motioned for her to take a few Trace Inspection Section agents to Heather Taylor''s house and get back Taylor-Davis'' computer and other useful items.


    Lacie turned around and left. Roan walked between Mona and Michelle and asked:


    ��How is it? Did you find anything?��


    ??Mona nodded and displayed the headshot and identity information of a middle-aged white man on the computer screen:


    ��Following your request, I found a suspect. Coincidentally, he happens to be from the shooting shop.��


    ??Roan bent down and saw the name of the suspect in Mona''s mouth, and the case related to the other party handled by Taylor-Davis:


    Obeid, the kidnapping case of his daughter.

 Chapter 390： "Wild Cat Bullets", Talented Persons in Prison

    Chapter 390 ��Wild Cat Bullets��, Talents in Prison


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ��Kidnapping** case?��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��What exactly happened?��


    ��Obeid��s daughter is a college student and has just come of age.��


    ?Mona tapped the keyboard a few times to retrieve the case file from the legal system and replied:


    ��One night a few months ago, Obaid��s daughter was kidnapped on her way back to her university dormitory after working part-time.


    ?At first the other party only wanted money, but when he saw that Obaid''s daughter was more beautiful, he had other ideas.


    More than forty hours after the incident, the Department of Special Victims Services found Obaid��s daughter. She had many scars on her body and her mental condition was not stable.


    In the court, the lawyer presented the test report that the murderer had smoked flour at the time of the crime and had mental problems. Judge Taylor-Davis did not agree to Obeid''s request to sentence the other party to death or life imprisonment, but only sentenced him to a few years in prison. . "


    After listening to Mona''s narration, and then seeing the information records on the computer about Obaid''s daughter''s psychological counseling experience for several months, and that her mental state has not recovered so far, and she even dropped out of college, Luo An He sighed in a low voice:


    ��An angry father will do anything for his daughter.��


    ?Michelle next to her nodded, Mona pursed her lips and said nothing.


    ?At this moment, the landline phone next to him suddenly rang. Michelle picked up the answer and answered a few words, then hung up the phone and turned around:


    ��The Trace Inspection Section said that the ballistic test report and crime scene report for this case have been completed, and the autopsy report will take some time. I will go downstairs to get them back.��


    ��OK, thank you for your hard work.��


    Michelle turned around and left. Roan patted Mona on the shoulder and walked to the equipment room aside:


    ��Let��s go, Mona, come with me to talk to this father.��


    ����


    ?Obeid��s gun shop is located in the southern area of ??Los Angeles. The gun shop is very large and the decoration is very straightforward and rough. As soon as Luo An opened the door, he saw several rifles pointed at him.


    ?Obeid, the owner of the gun shop, has a sinewy face, is very tall and strong, and does not look like a guy to be trifled with at first glance.


    ��FBI.��


    Facing the clerk who came up to ask what he and Mona needed, Luo An took out the FBI''s golden badge and showed it to him, then selectively ignored Obaid''s unkind gaze, walked up to him and said softly:


    ��Hello, Mr. Obaid, Weneedtotalk.��


    ??Mona glanced at Luo An calmly. Obaid stared at Luo An with wide eyes for a few seconds, then coldly snorted and threw the gun he was cleaning to the clerk, turned around and walked to a room at the back of the gun store:


    ��Let��s go there and talk, don��t affect my business!��


    ?In the room for temporary rest, Obaid poured himself a glass of water and drank it in one gulp. He had no intention of pouring it for Roan and Mona and asked directly:


    ��What do you want from me?��


    ��There��s something I��d like to ask about.��


    Looking at the dirty cup, Luo An gave up the idea of ??pouring himself a glass of water and asked:


    ��Where were you early this morning?��


    ��I��m sleeping at home.��


    ?Obeid''s mind was spinning very quickly. After answering the question, he immediately thought of many things. He leaned forward and looked at Luo An, and said with a serious face:


    "I don''t know what other cases you have encountered. Those things have absolutely nothing to do with me."


    "OK." Luo An nodded. On the way here, Mona had been checking the surveillance records of Obaid''s community. It indeed showed that Obaid had been with his wife and daughter since returning home and had never left. Home door.


    ??At this point, Obaid''s suspicion could be temporarily ruled out, and there was no need for Roan and Mona to come to this gun store, but later they received a new message from Michelle.


    Luo An took out a photo from his pocket. In the photo was the bullet slug left at the crime scene.


    ??Michelle said that based on the trace inspection department''s test, they can determine that this is a processed "wildcat bomb."


    ��Wildcat bullets�� are homemade bullets made by federal shooters. They are usually manufactured by modifying existing commercial bullets in order to optimize the performance of the ammunition, such as higher kinetic energy and straighter flight.


    ?There are many people who can make this kind of bullets, and gun shop owners are definitely one of them, especially Obaid, who has been in the gun shop for more than ten years.


    ��Our records show that Mr. Obaid you have attended six times, the Los Angeles Gun Association, gun shows, and even served as a judge on bullets once.��


    ?Luo An handed the photo to Obaid and said quietly:


    ��I��m sure you can tell who��s behind this bullet, right?��


    ��Sorry, I��m old and I didn��t see it.��


    Obaid took the photo and glanced at it briefly. He handed the photo back to Luo An in less than a second and replied:


    ��Can you leave now?��


    Luo An, who had been observing Obaid carefully, clearly saw the unnatural look on his face when he checked the bullet in the photo, so Luo An did not take the photo back, but took out a business card from his pocket with a string of telephone number:


    ��We know about your daughter and this is a foundation that helps special victims.


    ?Your daughter��s situation is completely within the scope of this foundation��s help, and I think you may need it. "


    Roan had previously asked Mona to investigate the murderer who hurt Obaid��s daughter. He was indeed a bad person.


    ??But Luo An is now a law enforcement officer after all, and it is impossible for him to give Obaid the contact information of the prison administrator of the prison where his daughter''s murderer is held just because he sympathizes with him.


    ?Obeid is a stranger to Luo An. Once this kind of thing is done, there will be clues left if someone wants to investigate. Luo An and Obeid are not related, so it is impossible to do this.


    ?However, if conditions permit, it is still possible to help Obaid''s daughter. An innocent young girl should have a better life and should not be ruined by this incident.


    "you��"


    ??At first when he heard Luo An mention his daughter, Obaid was still full of anger, but when Luo An finished speaking, Obaid fell silent instantly.


    ?Obeid has spent a lot of money to solve his daughter''s mental problems, and he may be selling the gun shop soon.


    After a long silence, Obaid''s whole body seemed to collapse. He was no longer as stiff as before, and whispered:


    ��I��m sorry, I��m just... I��m really sorry.��


    While apologizing, Obaid turned the photo in his hand to the back, took out a pen and wrote a line of letters on it, and finally stuffed it into Luo An''s arms, sighed and whispered:


    ��This is the guy��s name and address. If you encounter anything else later, I will do my best to cooperate with you... I��m sorry. I apologize to you for my actions and words just now.��


    Looking at the old father in front of him who was worried about his daughter, Luo An didn''t mention what happened just now. He handed Obaid the contact information of the foundation, took back the photo and handed it to Mona, and briefly chatted with Obaid. After a few words, he left the room with Mona and walked to the SUV, preparing to use his laptop to check the other party''s identity information.


    In the passenger seat of the SUV, Mona quickly found the other person based on the information behind the photo:


    ��Hex-Lawrence, 43, who was in and out of prison many times as a young man, is now the organizer of a gun club in southeast Los Angeles.��


    ��Another talent from the prison system.��


    Looking at the chubby middle-aged white man in the photo, Luo An started the SUV and drove toward southeast Los Angeles, and then asked:


    ��Is there any connection between Hex, or any of Hex��s family and friends, and Judge Taylor-Davies?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 391： Club, committing suicide out of fear of crime

    Chapter 391 Club, committing suicide out of fear of crime


    The SUV was driving fast on the streets of southern Los Angeles. Mona��s fingers were typing on her laptop for a moment, her brows slightly furrowed:


    ��Basic information on Hex and Taylor-Davies��no connection was found.��


    ��Then don��t check it yet.��


    ??Turn the steering wheel and drive onto another road, Luo An smiled and handed Mona a bottle of water and said:


    ��We��re going to the club soon, let��s talk to Hux first.


    I believe he will choose to cooperate with us like Obaid and tell us who bought those bullets from him. "


    "Maybe."


    ?? Mona replied casually to Luo An, her attention still focused on the laptop in front of her. Since Hux himself couldn''t find any clues, Mona began to focus on the members and guests of the gun club.


    Three minutes later, the SUV successfully arrived at the door of the club.


    It was already afternoon, and Luo An and Mona had not had lunch yet. After getting off the car, they went to a fast food restaurant not far away to buy some hamburgers and Coke. After eating and drinking, they entered the club.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    As soon as they entered the hall, Luo An and Mona heard a muffled sound of gunshots coming from deep inside the club, followed by some female cheers and male cheers and laughter.


    ??Luo An looked around. The club''s decoration style was more outdoor, giving people the feeling of a jungle. There were many places for people to rest, and there were some food and juice nearby, but no wine.


    ��A very interesting club.��


    Pinched the soft stuffed toys on the chair and on the counter, Luo An looked at Mona''s glowing eyes and couldn''t help but grinning slightly.


    ??The owner of this club is a wonderful person, and his main customers are obviously women, which is reflected in every detail.


    Compared to men, the connection between women and guns was not close in the past. However, as the voice of feminism has continued to increase in recent years, the connection between women and guns has also slowly increased.


    ??As the number of female customers in the club gradually increases, how can there be fewer male customers? The teasing laughter between men and women deep in the club is enough to prove this.


    ��Hello.��


    ?Seeing Luo An and Mona pushing through the door together, a very young girl immediately approached them and asked them what help they needed, and then pretended to introduce the contents of their club to them.


    ��FBI.��


    ?Luo An chuckled and took out the golden badge to interrupt the other party:


    ��I��m looking for the owner of your club, Hux.��


    The moment she saw the golden badge, the waiter girl was stunned for a moment:


    ����Okay, please wait a moment, I��ll go find the boss right away.��


    ??The waitress planned to take Luo An and Mona to a sitting area next to them, but Luo An waved her hand and refused:


    ��No, let��s go with you.��


    ? ����OK.��


    The expression on the waitress''s face changed slightly, but she didn''t say much. She immediately turned around and took Luo An and Mona upstairs.


    She is a salaried person, and she only earns a little money a month. What does the matter between her boss and the FBI have to do with her?


    Looking at the waitress with admiration, Luo An and Mona followed her upstairs, and then discovered that there were some lounges on the second floor. The decoration inside was very warm, with sofas, blankets and curtains.


    ? Luo An and Mona looked at each other. They had seen that style of sofa in a shopping mall before. If they remembered correctly, they could turn the sofa into a bed by opening the seat and pulling it out.


    ����


    Thinking of the men and women downstairs, Mona''s eyes flashed with disdain, and Luo An grinned. He was now becoming more and more interested in the talent of Hux.


    Soon, the two were led deep into the second floor. The waitress walked to an office door and knocked hard:


    ��Boss! Someone is looking for you!��


    icular


    After knocking several times, there was still no answer in the room. The waitress cursed a few times, looked back at Luo An and Lacey, and whispered:


    "The boss sometimes brings some female friends he is familiar with as guests. Maybe he..."


    ��You go to the back first.��


    Before the waitress could finish her words, Luo An pulled her behind Mona and took out a Glock 18 from the back of her waist. Luo An didn''t smell the smell of blood this time, but just now the waitress told them that the boss went into the office to rest at noon today and never went downstairs. More than two hours have passed now.


    Mona pulled the waitress back a few steps. Luo An tried to open the office door from the outside, but found that it couldn''t be opened, so without hesitation, he raised his foot and kicked the office door hard.


    score


    ??The office door was kicked open by Luo An in an instant. Luo An and Mingming immediately rushed into the office quickly with pistols in hand.


    ?The office is very large, with desks and chairs arranged internally, and a small room in the corner.


    ??Luo An quickly checked the small room and found no one, and immediately returned to the office with a desk.


    At this time, in the center of the office, a chubby middle-aged white body was hanging from the ceiling. At the foot of the body was a slumped chair.


    The expression on the corpse''s face was a bit ferocious, but Luo An and Mona still recognized each other''s identity, and it was officially the target they were looking for on this trip: Hux.


    After taking away the screaming waitress, Mona took out her mobile phone and called the Trace Inspection Department, asking them to come to the scene to dispose of the body.


    After making the call, I realized that I turned around and found Luo An standing in front of his desk, looking down at something. He walked up and followed Luo An''s gaze and found that it was a letter.


    ?It��s not appropriate to say it was a letter. It was actually more like a confession, which stated that he was the murderer of Judge Taylor-Davis.


    The reason for the murder was that Taylor-Davis was not a judge. When he was still working in the prosecutor''s department, he helped the murderer make perjury in a case related to Hex''s sister''s daughter.


    In the end, the murderer escaped, and the sister and her daughter set fire to suicide and died in their own house.


    ??The houses of ordinary people in Los Angeles are mostly made of wood and catch fire very quickly. By the time Hex discovered it, it was already too late.


    After learning that Taylor-Davis was not punished for this case but was promoted to a judge, Hux said that he finally couldn''t stand it anymore and decided to kill him in his own way.


    ����


    After reading the narrative on the paper, Mona''s face suddenly darkened.


    ? Judging from the handwriting alone, the handwriting on this piece of paper is exactly the same as the words written by Hux in the nearby document. Without technical inspection, the naked eye can almost confirm that the person writing the letter is Hux himself.


    ??Moreover, the letters are not sloppy, giving people a sense of a guilty plea that a great revenge has been avenged without any regrets.


    Mona also observed the corpse next to her carefully for a moment, but found no sign that Hux had been killed first and then hung up.


    It does appear that Hux got on the chair himself, committed suicide out of fear of guilt, and everything was fine.


    but��


    ��It��s too fake, it��s really too fake.��


    ??Mona shook her head repeatedly and saw the mobile phone that fell to the ground. She hurriedly put on her gloves to pick it up, waved her hands and prepared to walk out:


    "Roan, I''m going to check Hux''s last phone call records. Maybe I can find out who forced Hux to commit suicide."


    "No."


    "Um?"


    ?? Mona stopped quickly with confusion on her face when she heard this. She turned around and found that in front of the office window, Luo An was looking at the scenery outside the window with his back to her.


    Luo An was silent for a while, turned around, smiled, and said:


    ��The person who drove Hux to suicide was not on his phone, he was here at the time.��


    ??Mona: ��?!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 392： Being voluntarily committed suicide, weakness

    Chapter 392: Voluntary suicide, weakness


    The next morning, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    "so��"


    Lacie sat at her work station, picked up the food and took a big bite. After chewing a few times, she said vaguely:


    ��Roan, what you mean is that the gun club owner Hux didn��t really confess to committing suicide, but was forced to commit suicide.


    ??And the person who forced him was in the office at the time, right? "


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An Sanjiangkou finished the food in his hand and nodded to confirm this.


    ??Yesterday when he entered Hux''s office, he quickly discovered something was wrong with the office windows. There were no signs of opening or closing on the two adjacent windows, only the middle one.


    ?At first Luo An thought that the window was opened by Hux on his own initiative to add some fresh air to the office.


    But when Luo An opened the window and looked outside, there were no footprints or other marks on the edge of the window, only a thin layer of dust.


    Hearing this, Lacey was full of doubts:


    ��Since there are no footprints or other traces, how do you determine that the other party climbed in through the window? Isn��t it normal to have dust?��


    ??Mona next to her also looked at Luo An with a puzzled face, not understanding how he judged.


    ��But there was only dust there, not fine grains of sand.��


    Luo An shook his head and said that there was a road not far outside the window of Hux''s office. Over the years, a lot of fine sand had accumulated on the small platform outside the other two windows. You could touch it with your fingers. a lot of.


    ?Only the outside of the middle window is very sparse, only a small part at the edge, and the rest is covered with dust.


    ��Then I found a small speck of fine sand on the ground next to the chair behind Hux��s desk.��


    ?Seeing Lacey, Michelle and Mona looking at each other, Roan chuckled and then explained:


    ��Hex himself could not have been outside that window, and the corpse��s hands were also very clean, indicating that he did not bring those fine grains of sand into the office.


    ??The club attendant also said that the Hex office has not been cleaned these days. The only explanation is that there was a second person in the office at the time. "


    ??Luo An speculated about the scene at that time. Hux joked with the club members downstairs for a while and went upstairs to return to his office. But as soon as he opened the door and entered, he saw someone sitting on his chair.


    Roan didn��t know whether Hux knew that person, but the other person must have something against Hux.


    ?Only for this reason, the murderer could easily force Hex to write a confession, and then kick down the chair and hang himself in front of the murderer.


    Judging from the fine grains of sand left next to the chair, the murderer should have been standing nearby when Hex was writing the confession. Most likely, this was to prevent Hex from hiding clues about the murderer in the text.


    After Hux struggled for a moment and lost his breath and finally died, the murderer turned around, opened the window, and left easily from the original route.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ��Damn killer!��


    After listening to Luo An''s description, Lacey and Mona frowned and cursed in a low voice. At this moment, the door of the Special Investigation Team office area was pushed open, and Michelle raised the folder in her hand. said:


    ��The autopsy results of the victim Hex have come out, and the cause of death was indeed mechanical asphyxia caused by hanging.


    ?There is no intervention from other people in the behavior of hanging. For example, if someone kills him first and then hangs him up, it can be considered that the victims actively hang themselves.


    At the same time, based on the suggestion of Team Leader Luo An, the Trace Inspection Section examined the windows of the crime scene and indeed found a small amount of substances that did not belong to Hux''s office. It can be judged that there were indeed items in the crime scene at that time. Someone other than Hux. "


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ??Lacie picked up a bag of breakfast and threw it to Michelle. Michelle caught it easily. Roan took the report issued by the Trace Inspection Department. Mona next to her opened the computer and asked without looking back:


    ��So, what do we do next?�� ��It��s very simple, investigate the connection between the new victim Hex and the previous victim Taylor-Davis.


    Start the investigation with Taylor-Davies as a judge and previous cases he handled when he was in the prosecution service. "


    ? Luo An threw the folder aside and said:


    ��One is a judge who was promoted from the prosecutorial department not long ago, and the other is a club owner who spent the first half of his life working harder in prison than at home, and finally worked in a legitimate industry in the second half of his life.


    As soon as we found out, the two of them died one after another. This can''t be a coincidence. There must be something in the middle that we haven''t discovered yet. "


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona nodded and started typing on the keyboard. Roan then looked back at Lacey and asked:


    ��How did you inspect the belongings in Taylor-Davis�� house?��


    "not so good."


    Lacey pointed at the conference room. There were three large cardboard boxes inside, which contained items she had taken back from Taylor-Davis��s home:


    ��Michelle and I rummaged through Taylor Davis��s personal computer yesterday. It was very simple. Except for cases, there were cases, and almost all of them were related to work.


    In terms of private life, Taylor-Davis keeps two notebooks, one of which contains the phone numbers of relatives and friends, and the other contains records of his legal knowledge.


    In Taylor-Davis�� cell phone, I found a hidden note, which contained the contact information of Samia and several other women who were traveling with Samia. "


    "Wow."


    Luo An thought for a while and said:


    ��Leave the investigation of Taylor-Davis�� personal belongings to me.


    ? Lacey, Michelle, you two investigate Hex''s situation. Maybe you can find familiar items related to Taylor-Davis in his place. "


    "no problem."


    ��Leave it to us.��


    Lacie and Michelle nodded, immediately got up and left the special investigation team, and went to Hex''s home to check the situation.


    ? Luo An pushed the door open and walked into the conference room. He felt a headache looking at the personal belongings related to Taylor-Davis in front of him. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then took a folder and started to look at it.


    ?Time passed one by one. Two hours later, when Luo An was checking Taylor-Davis��s own work log, his cell phone rang suddenly. He pressed the answer button and Lacey said on the other end of the phone:


    ��Roan, I found a safe under one of the tiles on the floor of the Hux kitchen.


    In addition to some U.S. dollars, a pistol and a passport, there was also an overseas bank account in the safe.


    ?Michelle checked the status of the bank account, and the records showed that Hux would deposit a sum of money into it every month, and then the money would be withdrawn in a European country. "


    ?Luo An frowned slightly:


    ��Can you find out who that person is?��


    ��The identity of the other party cannot be found. The other party is very cautious and hides his face firmly in front of the surveillance camera every time he withdraws money.��


    The voice on the other end of the phone was Michelle, and she replied:


    ��However, bank records show that their system has promoted maternity products and maternal and infant products to the other party, and it seems that the other party should be a woman.��


    ��Then the opponent should be Hux��s weakness.��


    ?Luo An sneered, using weakness to force others is always the most convenient and effective way.


    ?At this moment, Mona��s voice came from outside the conference room:


    ��Luo An, come to me, I found something here.��

 Chapter 393： Big fish, Luo An with black eyes

    Chapter 393 Big fish, Luo An with black eyes


    Hearing Mona��s voice, Luo An immediately walked out of the conference room with his mobile phone and asked as he walked:


    "what''s the situation?"


    ��I��ve always wondered how Hux, a thirty-five-year-old guy with less than $500 in the bank who had been in and out of prison many times, got the money to open such a gun club.��


    ??Mona took a step back to get out of the way, showed the information on the computer to Luo An, and explained:


    ��Opening a gun club is not a trivial matter and requires a large amount of start-up capital.


    So I checked Hex��s financial situation and found that the first large amount of money he received came from a one-man business group. "


    ??Luo An bent over and looked at the computer. On the screen was information about the one-man enterprise group. The information showed that this group had more than fifty limited companies, all of which were established overseas.


    ��Cayman Islands, Belize, Isle of Man����


    ?Luo An looked at the addresses of these companies and raised his eyebrows slightly:


    ��It seems that these companies are used to transfer funds and launder money. They can clean large amounts of money without leaving traces... There may be a big fish behind this.��


    ��But I can��t find out the real situation of those companies.��


    Behind Luo An, Mona scratched her head. There were too many cross-shareholdings and diversified investments among these companies, and many places were not shown to the public. She could not find out who the bosses behind these companies were on her own.


    ��Teach you a method.��


    ? Luo An thought for a while, turned around and smiled at Mona:


    ��Cross-compare the accounts of these companies with the physical storefronts they own to see which region has the most storefronts and who is the owner of those stores.��


    ?After hearing Luo An��s words, Mona��s eyes lit up, she slapped Luo An��s arm hard, and immediately started typing on the keyboard:


    ��OK, I��ll start the operation now.��


    ??Complex pages began to flash on Mona''s computer. Luo An, who was standing behind her, pondered for a while, suddenly thought of something, turned around and quickly walked into the conference room, and then returned to his team leader''s office.


    After a long time, Mona suddenly showed a smile on her face, raised her hand and said loudly:


    ��Luo An! I...��


    Bang!


    As soon as she started talking, there was a sudden knock on the table in the team leader''s office. Mona was startled and quickly stopped talking and looked back. Then she found Luo An holding a folder and leaving the team leader''s office expressionlessly. walked out.


    ?Luo An asked before Mona could do it:


    ��Mona, what did you find out?��


    ��Well... I found out that among the fifty companies, one of them has a trust fund, and that trust fund bought more than a dozen buildings in a certain city in Canada.


    ??The chairman of this trust fund is named Lonique-Sheffield.


    And Lonique Sheffield��s husband is named Treveon Sheffield. "


    ?Mona investigated the couple��s personal information and left more area on the screen to her husband:


    ��The FBI��s internal database shows that Treveon Sheffield has been prosecuted for flour trafficking, murder and many other crimes, but has not been found guilty.


    ?In addition, the FBI''s internal database speculates that several bank robberies, drug gangs, hired murders, etc. in California are related to him, but there is no evidence. He is an out-and-out gangster figure. "


    ?Luo An nodded and explained:


    ��Previously, we had been focusing on the cases that Taylor-Davis handled during his lifetime, so we didn��t find any clues.


    ?Just now I checked the work diary recorded by Taylor-Davis, which shows that he will handle a big case with the federal Department of Justice next month. The specific content of the big case is not written in the diary.


    ??I just called the Department of Justice, and the Department of Justice sent me the case report on that case, which showed that the case was related to Treveon-Sheffield. " The reason why Luo An knocked on the table just now was not because he thought of this, but because the documents sent by the Ministry of Justice were all black at first glance.


    Throughout the document, Roan only saw the name of Treveon Sheffield and the names of the three victims, Taylor Davis and Hux. He could not see anything else. More than ten pages of text were all blacked out. It��s black, and the proportion of black blocks is as high as 98%.


    Luo An, whose eyes were darkened, was speechless.


    However, considering that a certain federal president will be indicted in the future, when the FBI faces media inquiries, the positive documents it produces are full of black spots. The media and the public are in an uproar... Luo An can only lament that these federal law enforcement agencies are really the same strain and don''t care at all. Influence and opinions, just work.


    ��So, what you mean is����


    ?Mona pondered for a few seconds, looked up at Luo An, and said:


    ��The Justice Department secretly prepared a courtroom trial to send Treveon-Sheffield to prison, with Taylor-Davis as one of the prosecutors and Hex as a juror or witness.


    ??As a result, Treveon Sheffield got the news out of nowhere, and then found someone to kill Taylor Davis and Hux. "


    ��From the information that the Ministry of Justice gave me, telling me about this court extension, I can basically confirm this.��


    ??Luo An crossed his arms and nodded in agreement with Mona''s statement, and then said:


    ��I have asked the Ministry of Justice for the full list of participants in the courtroom they have prepared, including the judge, jury members and witnesses, and they will send the information to me later.


    We need to find out who is the person who leaked this news. Trayveon Sheffield must have had many enemies over the years. Once he is convicted, Treyveon Sheffield will never be able to leave prison for the rest of his life.


    ?In order to avoid going to jail, Treveon-Sheffield may still take action, and jurors or witnesses may die later. "


    The jury system is a feature of federal law. In addition to the judge, there are about 12 jurors sitting next to the court to listen to the evidence, the witnesses'' speeches, the descriptions of the defender and the prosecutor, and finally make a verdict against the defendant. Prisoner''s legal judgment.


    ?These twelve jurors are usually randomly selected. When encountering criminal cases, their personal identity information will be kept confidential to prevent the defendant or plaintiff from contacting them before or after the case.


    Many people praise the jury system, saying that it ensures the fairness and democracy of judicial decisions, and at the same time enhances federal citizens'' sense of identity and participation in the judicial system.


    But also because of the existence of the jury system, a large number of "eloquent" defense lawyers have emerged in the Federation.


    ?They not only read the law thoroughly and know how to apply it, but they are also always able to convince the jury by "knowing what they know and using emotion and reason" to help criminals escape guilt or reduce their crimes.


    After all, juries are all human beings, and human beings will be affected by personal biases and social values. This was shown in a certain movie. A lawyer won the defense by telling the jury "This is not freedom" based on politically correct values. victory.


    Luo An did not comment on the quality of the jury system. At 1 p.m., he posted the photos of the twelve jurors and six witnesses handed over to him by the Ministry of Justice on the wall of the conference room.


    After a brief glance, Roan looked back at Mona, Lacey and Michelle and asked:


    ��So, are any of the eighteen survivors connected to Trayveen Sheffield or the organizations around him?


    Has anyone received an unusually large amount of money, or has their consumption suddenly increased abnormally recently? "


    Lacie and Mona shook their heads together. Michelle raised her hand, picked up a person''s personal information, and said:


    ��I found one, she should be the informant on the jury.��

 Chapter 394： Sonic, one piece of good news, two pieces of bad news

    Chapter 394 Sonic, one good news, two bad news


    Special Investigation Team, conference room.


    As Michelle raised her hand, Roan, Mona and Lacey all turned their attention to her.


    Michelle distributed the paper in his hand to the three people and introduced:


    ��The lady��s name is Annette and she works for the federal postal service.��


    ��Wow, it��s not easy to work in the postal service for twenty years.��


    ??Luo An looked at Annette��s photos and information and raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked:


    ��What��s wrong with her?��


    ��Not surprisingly, the money aspect.��


    ?Michelle pulled up a cash flow record from Annette��s bank account and said:


    ��Federal law stipulates that in criminal offenses, if a federal citizen suddenly receives more than $10,000 in his bank account within a short period of time after being selected as a juror, then the juror and the funds he received will be investigated.


    ?Last Wednesday and last Saturday, our Ms. Annette deposited $3,000 and $6,000 in cash into the bank respectively. "


    ��The total amount is 9,000 US dollars, which is just under the 10,000 US dollars limit.��


    Lacey next to her laughed when she heard this, Luo An nodded, and then asked:


    ��So is there any connection between her and Trevean Sheffield?��


    ��I found a connection.��


    Michelle didn��t say anything. Mona, who had been typing on the keyboard next to her, suddenly made a sound. Roan and Lacey came to her side. Mona explained:


    ��Ms Annette herself works in the postal service and her husband, a doctor, works in a hospital.


    ? Treveon Sheffield has not been to that hospital, but his wife, Lonique Sheffield, went to that hospital for laser hair removal surgery some time ago. "


    ������x3


    Hearing the name of the operation, the three people outside Mona were silent for a few seconds. Luo An was the first to break the silence and said:


    ��Mona, Michelle, you two stay with the special investigation team and carefully investigate the situation of Trayvon Sheffield and his wife Lonique Sheffield, as well as the subordinates, employees, relatives, etc. around them.


    Lacey, come with me and we��ll talk to Ms. Annette about wages in the federal postal service. "


    ��OK!��


    "no problem!"


    ����


    On the road, Luo An drove the SUV forward quickly, and Lacey sat in the passenger seat and carefully checked the information records of Annette��s family:


    ��Records show that Annette and her husband have not paid off their car loan, house loan, college loan, etc., and there is basically not much left over from their monthly salary.


    The two of them have a daughter who was diagnosed with a chronic heart-related disease some time ago...I think this may be the reason why Annette did this. "


    ��The probability is very high.��


    ? Luo An nodded. In the country of the Federation, there are too many people who have no choice but to turn to crime for the sake of their family and money.


    As an ordinary person living in the Federation, he is basically inseparable from loans from birth to burial. If you encounter the slightest risk, you may fall into the abyss.


    Arrived at the target location, Luo An parked the SUV on the side of the road and walked to Ms. Annette''s house with Lacey.


    ??Going to the door of the small apartment, just as Lacey was about to knock on the door, Luo An''s expression changed, he grabbed Lacey and took out a pistol from his waist.


    Having a keen sense of smell, he smelled the smell of blood.


    Upon seeing this, Lacey''s expression changed, and she quickly took out a pistol from behind. The two of them leaned against the door of the apartment, one on the left and the other on the right. Counting to three, Luo An raised his foot and kicked the door of the apartment hard.


    score


    ??The two men quickly checked every room in the apartment with pistols to make sure there were no enemies, and shouted loudly to inform each other:


    ��Second floor is safe!�� ��The basement is safe!��


    The two put away their pistols and returned to the living room on the first floor. At this time, there were several stuffed animals sitting. In the middle of the very warm living room, there was a man lying on the floor, who was Annette''s husband.


    Sitting on the couch in the living room was a woman holding a child in her arms, namely Annette and her daughter.


    ?Annette herself had her hands and feet tied to the sofa with ropes. There were many bruises and scars on her face and body, and she had obviously been tortured before her death.


    There was a bullet hole on the back of Annette''s husband, in the center of Annette''s eyebrows, and on the back of Annette''s daughter''s head. The blood that flowed out stained several staggering stuffed animals red.


    The situation at the scene was very simple. The experienced Lacey and Luo An quickly guessed the scene when the crime occurred:


    Annette''s husband opened the door to the murderer and led him into the living room with his back to the murderer.


    ?At that time, Annette was sitting on the sofa holding her daughter, so the murderer who saw the target of the trip shot and killed Annette''s husband without saying a word.


    The murderer then took control of Annette and her daughter and tortured Annette.


    After getting the clues or answers they wanted, the other party shot Annette and her daughter to death and turned away.


    As for what clues or answers the other party wants, it is not difficult to guess whether Annette told others about her snitch for Trevion Sheffield.


    ��Damn the murderer! Sonof than eat!��


    Looking at the little girl in Annette''s arms, Lacey looked very ugly. She cursed a few times and then took out her mobile phone and called the Trace Inspection Department. They were needed to handle the scene.


    ?At the same time, Luo An, who was next to him, crossed his arms and carefully inspected the scene. Then he suddenly walked to the TV in the living room and squatted down to inspect it.


    ??Lacie hung up the phone, saw Luo An''s movements and hurriedly came to his side, and asked:


    ��What did you find?��


    ��A new toy.��


    Following Luo An��s guidance, Lacey found a furry two-headed toy sitting next to the TV. She asked hesitantly:


    ��This is��Sonic?��


    ��No, this is a camera.��


    ?Luo An picked up the blue stuffed toy and pinched its left eye. Only then did Lacey realize that the eye was actually a camera.


    ��This should be Annette��s back-up plan for herself.��


    Luo An thought for a while, stood up, glanced at the body of the girl holding the **** the sofa, and muttered:


    ��It��s impossible that Annette didn��t know the dangers of working with someone like Traywin Sheffield, so she planned to threaten the other person with surveillance video or other items to protect her own safety.


    But as an ordinary person, she obviously underestimated desperadoes like Treveon Sheffield, and the killers sent by the other party did not bargain with her at all. "


    Lacie nodded with an ugly face, and then added:


    ��After seeing the killer kill her husband, Annette knew that she and her daughter would never survive today, so she did not tell anything about the camera until her death.


    Maybe it��s to atone for sins, or maybe it��s because they want us to help their family get revenge. "


    ??Roan patted Lacey''s arm and took her to the second floor of the apartment. Maybe she could find something hidden by Annette.


    But there were signs of being rummaged through on the second floor. Luo An and Lacey found no clues. Laptops, diaries and other items were all missing. It was most likely that they were taken away by the murderer.


    Soon, the trace inspection department arrived. Luo An and Lacey handed over the scene to them and asked them to find out the three bullets that killed Annette''s family. After handing them the ballistic test report as soon as possible, they started The SUV was returned to the Special Investigations Unit.


    ?After getting the Sonic brought back by Luo An, Mona worked hard for a while, then picked up a data cable and connected the camera to the computer.


    Mona typed on the keyboard a few times, then raised her head and asked:


    ��Everyone, there is good news and one...and two bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?��

 Chapter 395： Introverted, mild-mannered murderer arrested

    Chapter 395: Introverted and gentle murderer, arrest operation


    ??In the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, Luo An and Lacey didn''t answer when they heard Mona''s pretentious words. They just crossed their arms and looked at her quietly.


    ?Michelle, who wanted to answer Mona''s question, saw this, silently swallowed the words in his mouth and sat back in his seat.


    "��Really boring."


    ??Seeing the actions of Luo An and Lacey, Mona murmured something in a low voice, tapped the keyboard a few times, and started to play the video recorded in the surveillance camera. She said at the same time:


    ��There was a problem with the placement of Sonic. The surveillance camera only recorded the scene of Annette��s husband entering the room with the murderer. There was no record of the other party��s murder and torture.


    ?In addition, Annette must have been deceived by the seller. There was also something wrong with the camera itself. It was a defective product and only recorded images but no sound. "


    ������x3


    Roan and Michelle twitched their mouths when they heard this. Lacey swallowed her words and asked:


    ��So, this Sonic is useless?��


    ��No, its toy function is still there, just ignore its missing right eye.��


    ??Mona shook her head and continued to type on the computer keyboard to convert the surveillance footage into the FBI''s internal database. She said while operating:


    ��No kidding. As I said just now, this camera only recorded the scene of Annette��s husband entering the room with the murderer, and the murderer��s face was still very clear in the picture.


    The FBI''s internal database has found the identity of the other party: Sampson Brooke. "


    ��Well done, I��ll reward you with a secret steak for dinner�� provided you don��t work overtime tonight.��


    ?Luo An patted Mona on the shoulder, looked down at the computer, and asked:


    ��What is the specific situation of this Sampson?��


    ??Mona rolled her eyes speechlessly, but still transferred Sampson''s message to the computer screen:


    ��An ex-convict, 40 years old, has just been released from prison for four months for assaulting someone with a weapon and is currently living in a halfway house.


    ?In the FBI''s internal database, several murder cases are related to him, but one lacks key evidence, which is why he has been at large for so long. "


    Halfway House sounds like a very commercial name, but in fact its English name is Halfway House, which can be called a "reintegration training center" or a "community correction center". It is a transitional residential community that improves environmental adaptability. Correctional Institutions.


    The operating costs of federal prisons used to guard prisoners are too high, and this is all taxpayers'' money, so some prisoners with good behavior will be recognized by the judge and allowed to be paroled.


    It may be difficult for paroled prisoners to integrate into society, or they may have nowhere to go or a house to live in. Therefore, transitional institutions and government public housing for social adaptation training are needed to accommodate them.


    Habitat houses provide necessary accommodation and food for such a specific group of people, protect their necessary privacy, help develop plans for reintegration into society, and provide a place where staff can help solve the above problems.


    ��Come on, Lacey, let��s go out again.��


    After writing down the location of Sampson��s halfway house, Luo An glanced at the time displayed on the computer and the middle-aged Caucasian Sampson with short hair. He patted Lacey on the arm and walked to the equipment room:


    ��If we move faster, maybe we won��t have to work overtime tonight.��


    ��OK.��


    Lacie followed closely behind Luo An and asked as she walked:


    ��By the way, if you don��t work overtime tonight, can you give me a share of the secret steak you mentioned?��


    ����


    ����


    ??North Los Angeles area, a halfway house.


    ? A SWAT troop carrier slowly parked on the side of the road. Luo An and Lacey stepped out of the Special Investigation Team''s SUV. After the SWAT team blocked the back door, they walked in through the door of the halfway house.


    ��Hello, FBI.�� The person in charge of this halfway house is a chubby older white woman named Adele. Luo An showed the golden badge to the other person and asked:


    ��Which room is Sampson Brooke in? We have something we want to talk to him about.��


    ��Sampson?��


    ? Adele was stunned for a moment, got up and left the office and led Luo An and Lacey up the stairs. As she walked, she asked:


    "What do you want Sampson to do? He is a very introverted child. He behaves very well on weekdays and is very gentle in dealing with others."


    Hearing the other party refer to 40-year-old Sampson as a child, 25-year-old Luo An''s mouth twitched.


    ??But thinking about a certain witch in later generations calling the eighty-year-old federal president a child, Luo An still suppressed the complaints in his heart and replied with a smile:


    ��We came to Sampson this time because he is too introverted and too gentle when bringing people around.��


    Adele: ��?��


    Sampson''s room was on the second floor. Roan and Lacey were leaning on either side of the door. Adele followed Lacey''s instructions, stood on the side and knocked on the door, saying:


    ��Sampson, there��s a package for you downstairs!��


    ��Okay, thank you, I��ll be down right away!��


    After Adele finished speaking, a male voice suddenly sounded in the room.


    ??Lacie pulled Adele behind her. A few seconds later, within a few seconds, as expected, the door was slowly opened from the inside.


    Looking at the gradually enlarging door, Lacey''s lips raised slightly.


    ?The next second, the door opened suddenly, and the person in the room slammed the door shut. Seeing this, Luo An raised his foot and kicked it in without hesitation:


    ��FBI! OpenTheDoor!��


    boom! boom! boom!


    ???The moment Luo An rushed into the room, Sampson inside immediately fired three shots at the door. Luo An, who reacted quickly, rolled and successfully avoided it, but Sampson also took this opportunity to hide deep in the room.


    ��Fu-k! He shoots whenever he meets, what an introverted guy!��


    ??Roan quickly caught up with the weapon. Lacey asked Adele to leave quickly, followed closely with the pistol, and quickly followed.


    At the back of the room is a kitchen with a bathroom. Luo An does not comment on the head of the room designer because the kitchen window has been removed, and Sampson has climbed out from the second floor along this window.


    ��SWAT team! The suspect is escaping to the east!��


    ? Glancing at the street outside, Luo An immediately pressed the communicator to notify the SWAT team to move eastward to block Sampson. Then he grabbed the iron edge of the window and rolled out, starting to chase Sampson eastward.


    ��*#%����


    Lacey''s eyelids jumped as she looked at the window in front of her. She cursed a few times in a low voice and quickly opened the window.


    ?? Sampson ran away very quickly, and he chose to run on crowded roads. His hands were not very clean while escaping. He not only pulled down trash cans on the roadside, but also pushed passers-by to create obstacles for Luo An who was chasing him.


    There were too many pedestrians on the road, and Luo An was afraid of accidental injury and did not dare to shoot at will.


    However, the obstacles created by Sampson were nothing to him with his quick reaction. While Luo An was dodging left and right, he was quickly pulled between the two of them under Sampson''s astonished eyes. distance.


    On the other side, the SWAT team was not slow either. They quickly drove to the road Sampson was heading towards. Sampson frowned when he saw this. Before the SWAT team could react, he immediately turned left and entered next door. alley.


    ??Luo An, who was behind Sampson, saw him entering the alley, touched the shock bomb on his lower back, grinned, and quickly followed.


    ?At the same time, Lacey was also running forward quickly on another street at the end of the alley. When she heard the route of Sampson mentioned by Luo An on the communicator, she also took out her pistol and turned into the alley.

 Chapter 396： Fighting in the alley, Mo doesn’t like to work overtime

    Chapter 396 Fighting in the alley, Mona doesn��t like working overtime


    ?North Los Angeles, an alley east of a halfway house.


    Beside two trash cans in the middle of the alley, a pair of middle-aged white men and women in simple clothes were working. The man had a ferocious face and moved quickly. The woman had her back to him and her face was expressionless. She was counting the dollars in her hand with her head down and spit.


    ?At this moment, an uninvited guest suddenly ran into the alley from outside. The man was frightened and the woman hurriedly put the US dollars into her arms.


    The visitor was none other than Sampson. He had planned to quickly cross the alley and escape from the pursuit of Luo An and others through another road at the end of the alley.


    ??But what Sampson didn''t expect was that a woman holding a pistol was blocked at the end of the alley.


    The woman at the end of the alley was Lacey. Following Luo An��s instructions, after entering the alley and seeing Sampson holding a gun, she immediately hid at the side of the alley and shouted:


    ��Stop! Throw down the gun! Put your hands up!��


    ��Damn your watch!��


    Sampson cursed loudly and immediately turned around to go back the way he came and ran away from another alley. However, he found that Luo An was very fast and had already blocked the position where he had just entered the alley.


    ??Luo An showed an amiable smile to Sampson, shook the pistol in his hand, and said in a very kind tone:


    ��Put down your weapons and put your hands up, or I��ll shoot.��


    ��*#%������


    ?Sampson looked ugly and said a lot of greetings to Luo An, Lacey and the FBI.


    Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man squatting silently behind the trash can because of fear and not wanting to cause trouble. Without saying a word, Sampson pulled the middle-aged woman up from the ground and blocked it in front of him, and put the pistol in front of him. Putting it on the middle-aged woman��s temple, she shouted:


    ��Let me go! Otherwise I��ll shoot!��


    The disheveled middle-aged woman''s face was full of panic, but she suppressed the fear in her heart and gritted her teeth without screaming. She just looked at Luo An with a pleading look on her face.


    ?Beside the trash can on the ground, a middle-aged man who was also disheveled had no intention of helping the middle-aged woman. He just silently arranged his clothes, lowered his head, and began to work hard to reduce his sense of presence.


    ��Sampson, there��s no point in doing this.��


    ??Seeing the woman held hostage by the other party, Luo An''s expression remained unchanged, he slowly approached Sampson with his pistol raised, and said quietly:


    "Let go of the hostages. Maybe I can speak for you in front of the judge later."


    Whether you say good or bad things depends on the performance of the other party.


    ��I say it again! Put down the gun! Let me leave!��


    Looking at Lacey blocking the end of the alley behind him, and then seeing Luo An getting closer to him in front of him, Sampson''s face became increasingly ugly.


    Suddenly, Sampson suddenly removed the pistol from the temple of the middle-aged woman in his arms, pointed the gun at the middle-aged man who was trying to reduce his presence by the trash can, and shouted sharply:


    ��Don��t think I don��t dare to shoot! He��s dead! Just because you didn��t let me leave!��


    boom! boom!


    boom!


    The next second, three gunshots rang out at the end of the alley.


    ??Sampson fell to the ground with a face full of disbelief and shock. When he shouted loudly and was about to shoot, Luo An fired faster than him, directly pulling the trigger and shooting two bullets in succession.


    One bullet hit Sampson''s right hand holding the gun, knocking off the pistol Sampson was holding. Another bullet hit Sampson''s exposed left leg, preventing him from escaping and falling to the ground.


    ?At the same time, Lacey, who had been waiting for a long time to take aim at the end of the alley, heard the gunfire and fired a shot. The bullet perfectly hit Sampson''s other leg.


    ??The man sitting next to the trash can was sitting there like a wooden man. When he saw Sampson pointing the gun at him, he was frightened and stunned.


    ??The middle-aged woman who was held hostage by Sampson''s legs collapsed to the ground. After taking a few deep breaths, her face suddenly turned ferocious. She cursed and at the same time turned around and kicked Sampson on the ground.


    ��Stop!��


    While Luo An called SWAT to come here to deal with Sampson, he quickly stepped forward to stop the middle-aged woman''s movements. At the same time, Lacey also came here, first put away the gun that Sampson dropped on the ground, and then took it. Handcuffs were released and Sampson was restrained. ��OK, OK, no problem.��


    ? Seeing Luo An stopping herself, the middle-aged woman immediately stopped her movements, and the ferocious look on her face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a smile:


    ��Thank you, Mr. Agent, thank you very much. If it weren��t for you, I might have����


    A lot of complimentary words came out of the middle-aged woman''s mouth, and they were thrown at Luo An as if they were free of money. As she said this, the middle-aged woman also kicked the middle-aged man next to the trash can several times, and finally looked at it with a smile. Xiang Luo An said:


    "Since the person has been caught, I will leave first. Thank you again..."


    The middle-aged white man who was kicked by the trash can finally reacted. He glared at the middle-aged woman, quickly stood up, expressed his gratitude to Luo An and Lacey, and then ran away with the middle-aged woman. Quickly left the alley.


    Seeing the genetic material on the calves of the middle-aged white man��s pants, Lacey��s eyes showed a hint of disgust and asked:


    ��Luo An, these two people����


    Lacey knew clearly the identity of this middle-aged man and woman. They had violated federal laws and the FBI had the power to arrest them.


    "Don''t worry, the LAPD outside will deal with them both."


    ??Looking at the backs of the middle-aged men and women leaving quickly, Luo An was not in the mood to deal with street girls and ticket buyers, nor did he want to steal the LAPD''s job. At the moment, the most important thing was to deal with Sampson and the sniper case first.


    Soon, SWAT arrived in the alley. Lacey and several SWAT team members took Sampson to the hospital for treatment. After treating the wound, he took him back for interrogation. Luo An walked back to the entrance of the halfway house, preparing to drive the SUV back to the special investigation. Group.


    ?At the same time, across the street in the alley, two patrol officers were stuffing a middle-aged man and woman who were yelling at the LAPD into a car...


    ����


    Special Investigation Team, office area, 8:30 pm.


    Taking a bite of the secret steak that Luo An brought back, Mona muttered while eating:


    ��I hate working overtime.��


    Beside Mona, Michelle, who was also eating the secret steak, said nothing. He just swallowed the food in his mouth and silently poured Mona a cup of coffee.


    Opposite the two of them, Lacey was eating the free food and didn''t want to say a word.


    She has been busy saving money during this period and often eats for free.


    ?Roan, Mona and Michelle didn''t care about the snacks, and the women outside didn''t know how they were persuaded. Anyway, Lacey''s expenses during this period were surprisingly low.


    Luo An, who finished his meal faster than the three women and ate three steaks by himself, drank a cup of tea, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile:


    ��I don��t like working overtime either, so after this case is finished, the special investigation team will take a two-day holiday to rest.��


    "marvelous!"


    Hearing this, Lacey was the first to raise her fork and cheer loudly. Mona smiled. The faint smile on Michelle''s face remained unchanged and she just silently poured Luo An a cup of tea.


    Luo An picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It happened that the team leader Potente Byrne told him this afternoon that Chenier and Winslow''s department transfer procedures were almost completed. Although not all were completed, People can already come to the special investigation team to participate in the work.


    ?After Mona, Lacey and Michelle had eaten and drank enough, and rested for a while, Luo An drank all the tea in the cup, stood up and walked to the interrogation room, raised the folder in his hand, and asked:


    ��Let��s go, who will go to the interrogation room with me and give Sampson a supper?��

 Chapter 397： interrogation, making cake, how to make cake

    Chapter 397: Interrogation, making cake, how to make cake


    Special Investigation Team, interrogation room.


    ??Mona still had work on hand, and Lacey was a little stuffed and couldn''t move for the time being, so it was Michelle who entered the interrogation room with Roan.


    In the interrogation room, Sampson, who had been shot in both legs, was sitting in a wheelchair, his hands were handcuffed on the interrogation table, and his bandaged feet were also handcuffed together. He lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking. .


    ��Good evening, introverted Mr. Sampson.��


    Roan sat down opposite Sampson, opened the folder in his hand, looked at it, and said:


    ��You were negligent during the operation in the hospital. We found a cello box in your room at the halfway house, and found a sniper rifle and two pistols inside.


    After testing by the Trace Inspection Department, it can be determined that this sniper rifle was the murder weapon used to kill Judge Taylor-Davis.


    Sampson, do you have anything to explain? For example, you actually picked up that sniper rifle. "


    ?Sampson raised his head, glanced at Luo An coldly, and said nothing.


    "All right."


    Luo An didn��t care, and then opened the second page of the folder, took out a photo of a four or five-year-old girl with light blue eyes, and said:


    ��We checked your bank account and to my surprise you have a wife and daughter.


    ?This girl��s eyes are exactly the same as yours. You can tell without a DNA test that she is definitely your daughter. Life is a miracle, right? "


    Looking at the photo of his daughter placed in front of him by Luo An on the interrogation table, Sampson''s eyes moved subconsciously. Luo An smiled slightly when he saw this, then pushed the photo slightly in front of Sampson and said:


    ��Sampson, you are now standing at a fork in the road, but you are not the only one standing here, there is also your daughter.


    To assassinate a judge, a key witness who is to testify in court, the best outcome you can encounter is to enter the highest-level federal prison, where you squat in a small, light-tight box 23.5 hours a day. kind.


    You have to live this kind of life until your death, for decades. For decades, you will not be able to receive visits or see your wife and daughter.


    ??Your daughter is not in school yet, so you don��t know the atmosphere in federal schools..."


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Sampson��s face became more and more ugly, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he suddenly shouted from behind:


    "enough!"


    score


    ��Not enough!��


    Sampson suddenly shouted. Luo An slammed the table and stood up, shouting even louder than Sampson:


    ��You are just a little shrimp, you know? Our target is the big fish!


    Do you really want to live in that dark box? Never see your daughter again? Don��t forget the common saying of the Federation: Blood ties trump everything! Don''t destroy her! "


    ����


    Sampson��s eyes were red, his chest was beating back and forth, and he was breathing heavily, just staring at Luo An.


    Not to be outdone, Luo An stared at the other party. Time passed by. Finally, Sampson''s breathing rhythm slowed down and he asked in a hoarse voice:


    ��How can I be sure that you can bring him down? He has too many methods and he knows too many people!


    This is the Federation! He has money! He has plenty of ways to know who the people on the jury and those witnesses are, and then get rid of them! "


    ?Sampson didn��t say who ��he�� was, but both Roan and Michelle knew that the other person was talking about the man behind the scenes: Treveon Sheffield.


    ?Looking at Sampson, whose eyes were red and his ears were red, and his face was full of disbelief in himself, Luo An was not angry, but grinned.


    ?Luo An is not afraid of questioning or negotiating conditions, because this means that the other party''s position has begun to loosen, and the next step is nothing more than the conditions and benefits. "Don''t worry, of course I have a way to defeat him 100%, otherwise I wouldn''t discuss this with you, and I won''t do anything to waste time."


    ??Luo An patted Sampson on the shoulder, then extended his hand to Sampson and said with a smile:


    "So, you will be our witness, right? Blood ties trump everything."


    ?Sampson was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth for the last time, stretched out his hand and shook Luo An''s hand.


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:


    ��Great, you made the right decision.��


    ??Letting go of Sampson''s hand, Luo An turned back to signal to Michelle that the interrogation was over, and the two of them left the interrogation room together.


    ??The first time he walked out of the interrogation room, Luo An called the person in charge of the Ministry of Justice responsible for the Trewin-Sheffield case.


    After the other party promised to come to the office of the Special Investigation Team immediately, Luo An fiddled with his phone, found a familiar phone number, and dialed:


    ��Team Leader Elmer? Yes, it��s me, Luo An����


    Luo An smiled and hung up the phone when he received the response that the other party immediately brought someone with him to the special investigation team.


    ?Luo An likes to eat a piece of cake by himself, but when the cake is too small and it is a bit difficult to eat by himself, he prefers to make the cake bigger.


    Everyone ate cake together, and Luo An got more than before. He also established a good relationship with those people. When he met other things in the future, there were also people who helped him, and he achieved more with one stone.


    ����


    The next day, at eight o''clock in the morning, the meeting room of the special investigation team.


    As soon as Luo An sat down at the main seat in the conference room, a familiar laughter sounded outside:


    ��As expected of Roan Greenwood��s special investigation team, the agents under his command are all talented!��


    Michelle entered the conference room with the visitor and the visitor''s detectives. Luo An stood up to greet him. The other party was Elmer, the senior investigation team leader of IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division).


    Elmer and Luo An are old acquaintances. From the time they were first introduced to each other by August in Investigation Team No. 5, to the cooperation between the two in several cases, and the two men joking and chatting at the FBI headquarters in Washington, it can be said that Luo An Definitely one of Elmer''s favorite young men over the years.


    Not only because Luo An was promoted to the leader of the Special Investigation Team at a young age and has a bright future, but also because every time Luo An comes to Elmer, he can give him a big gift.


    For IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division), the latter is the most important.


    The IRS also has internal assessment standards. The ability to excel and the mediocre is clearly demonstrated in the IRS. Elmer has eaten a lot of cakes with Luo An''s help in the past two times, which has aroused the jealousy of many colleagues.


    ?Elmer secretly decided that even if there was nothing to gain from his visit to Los Angeles, or even a repayment, he would spare no effort to help Luo An, and Luo An would never be allowed to come into contact with other team leaders in the IRS.


    ??So Elmer also brought a gift to Luo An this time: a large box of Yingde black tea.


    ?After learning that Luo An likes to drink tea, Elmer made some Yingde black tea.


    This is the Queen''s favorite tea of ??the United Kingdom. Elmer doesn''t know much about tea, but he feels that the Queen likes it and the quality is definitely not bad.


    ��Thank you, Captain Elmer, it��s so valuable.��


    Taking the tea leaves from the other party, Luo An showed a warm smile on his face. The two sat on the chairs and chatted happily. Elmer''s agents were speechless. They rarely saw their parents'' attitude like this. Amiable.


    Not long after, Cecilia, the head of the Ministry of Justice who was responsible for the Trewin-Sheffield case, also arrived at the Special Investigation Team with several agents.


    The three parties gathered together and briefly introduced each other''s identities. Luo An coughed slightly. After everyone calmed down, he pulled up a whiteboard with a bunch of photos posted on it and began to formally draw the cake...the meeting officially began.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 398： Discussions in the conference room, arrest plan

    Chapter 398 Discussion in the conference room, arrest plan


    Special Investigation Team, conference room.


    ?At the center of the whiteboard, there is a photo of a middle-aged white man wearing a black suit and wearing a federal standard smile with eight teeth.


    ��This is the guy we want to send to jail in this case.��


    ??Luo An pointed at the guy in the photo and introduced to the agents in the conference room:


    ��Trewayne Sheffield, 39 years old, has a wife, Lonique Sheffield, and a son who is studying in a country outside the Commonwealth.


    ?FBI internal database shows that Treveon Sheffield is a standard template for someone who started in the underworld.


    At first, he led a few people to rob many banks and saved the first pot of gold. Later, he started selling drugs and smuggling. Instead of grabbing territory like ordinary gangsters, he continued to expand his legitimate industry and used the money to open wallets. The company helps itself launder money and make money. "


    After Luo An finished the brief introduction, he turned his attention to Team Leader Cecilia from the Ministry of Justice. The other party was not polite when he saw this. He stood up and walked to the whiteboard, took the pen Luo An handed her, and continued to introduce:


    ��Treveon Sheffield is a guy who likes to make quick money.


    When faced with industry competition between companies, he often hired killers or asked his men to directly kill the other company''s boss.


    ??At the beginning, when Treveon-Sheffield''s company lacked funds for expansion, this guy directly used kidnapping, extortion, and bank robbery to get money, laundered it, and injected the money into the company in batches.


    We have noticed Treveon Sheffield a long time ago and have sent undercover agents to him, but the other party is very cautious, and we have never been able to catch him..."


    ??Team leader Cecilia from the Ministry of Justice was talking nonstop while holding the documents in hand. Luo An listened for a moment and finally figured out why they had not brought down each other for so long:


    Not only does he rigidly implement federal laws and regulations, firmly believe in procedural justice and cannot find key evidence, he is also selfish and has no spirit of cooperation. He has always wanted to handle the Treveon-Sheffield case by himself and eat the cake himself.


    If Luan hadn''t led the special investigation team and first caught the killer Sampson who killed Judge Taylor Davis, Witness Club owner Hex, and juror Annette, Team Leader Cecilia of the Department of Justice would never have done it. Attend this meeting.


    Even if she participated, Team Leader Cecilia would not say so much. She might even pass the document with 98% of the content blacked out to Roan and Elmer.


    Thinking of this, Luo An looked at Team Leader Cecilia with prominent cheekbones, a hint of disdain in his eyes, and then looked at Team Leader Elmer sitting opposite him.


    After hearing Team Leader Cecilia say that the amount of money laundered by Treveon Sheffield over the years may exceed 100 million U.S. dollars, Team Leader Elmer''s breathing quickened slightly.


    There is less than a month left until the Federation��s annual Christmas.


    ?Every Christmas, the IRS conducts an internal comparison of work content in various aspects, and the good ones are promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted.


    When this case is resolved, Elmer feels that he may have the opportunity to take another step forward.


    Team Leader Elmer subconsciously turned his head and looked at Luo An with joy in his eyes, only to find that Luo An first looked at Team Leader Cecilia who was talking eloquently in front of him, and then gave him a look. Elmer was stunned for a moment, and then handed over He gave Luo An a look back.


    The next second, the corners of the mouths of the two foxes, one old and one young, raised slightly. They both understood what the other meant:


    ??The cake of this case is not small, and the leadership cannot be left to team leader Cecilia of the Ministry of Justice. We must first work together to squeeze her out, and then discuss which of them will take the lead.


    So when Team Leader Cecilia, who was standing in front of the whiteboard, said that they had been investigating Trevion Sheffield for a long time, and that her investigation team would be responsible for the follow-up work, Team Leader Elmer immediately He stood up with a smile:


    ��Team Leader Cecilia, how about how to solve the Treveon-Sheffield case next? How about I tell you my plan?��


    ��OK.��


    ??Team leader Cecilia had no reason to refuse. She nodded and left the whiteboard and walked back to her seat. Elmer coughed twice and said:


    ��What we can do next is, first of all, our IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation) can bring Treveon Sheffield to us first����


    Elmer''s plan is very simple. Just like how he solved the problem of Mafia boss Al Capone, he directly takes Treveon Sheffield to the IRS for a period of time, and keeps tossing him about tax issues so that he can''t do anything. Focus on dealing with other things to achieve the purpose of cutting off his contact with the outside world.???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Federal law stipulates that the IRS�\CI has the power to arrest people first and then provide evidence.


    During this period, other law enforcement agencies took advantage of Trayvon Sheffield''s men to panic, quickly searched for evidence, arrested and interrogated them, obtained key evidence from these people, and finally put Trayvon Sheffield in jail. .


    The plan is a bit old, but Elmer doesn''t care. The routine is not new but effective, as long as it succeeds.


    After listening to Elmer��s description, team leader Cecilia, who had always wanted to take the initiative, shook her head and stood up, saying:


    ��No, do this...��


    ��As expected of Team Leader Elmer, he was able to think of a solution to this case so quickly!��


    Before team leader Cecilia could finish her words, Luo An stood up with a smile and applauded, interrupting her.


    ??Elmer smiled slightly, and then he and Luo An quickly worked out a specific action plan together, without giving team leader Cecilia a chance to interrupt.


    ��*#%����


    ??Team leader Cecilia, who has worked in the Ministry of Justice for so many years, is not a fool. She quickly realized that Luo An and Elmer had already privately discussed the matter of taking the lead in the case.


    After making the plan with Elmer, Luo An smiled slightly, turned to look at Team Leader Cecilia, and asked with a smile:


    ��I wonder, Team Leader Cecilia, if you have any suggestions for this action plan?��


    In view of the fact that the plan formulated by Luo An and Elmer together had a much higher success rate and faster efficiency than the plan he had drawn up before, Team Leader Cecilia glanced at the other agents in the conference room, took a deep breath and pressed down With the anger in his heart, he chose to suffer this secret loss and replied:


    "No."


    ??The plan drawn up by Roan and Elmer seems fair:


    The IRS imprisoned Traywin-Sheffield, cut him off from the outside world for a short period of time, and investigated Traywin-Sheffield''s tax issues.


    The Special Investigations Unit cordoned off Traywin Sheffield''s companies and properties to arrest his associates and prevent anyone from leaving the Commonwealth or transferring funds.


    Cecilia''s investigative team from the Department of Justice holds a pile of evidence and is responsible for interrogating Trayvon Sheffield''s men. The Special Investigation Team is assisting to quickly find out what can send Trayvon Sheffield to prison. key evidence.


    ?Of course, as mentioned before, the action plan "looks" fair.


    Because one of the most important elements is not included in the plan, and that is how the harvest will be distributed after the case is over.


    ?Most of the companies and funds in Treveon-Sheffield''s hands were illegally obtained, and federal law enforcement agencies have the power to block and confiscate them afterwards.


    ?Federal law enforcement has no need to operate them and will simply sell them to anyone willing to acquire them.


    ?The vast majority of the money will be collected by the federal government, but the law enforcement team handling the case will also receive a small portion.


    How to divide this small part...


    Roan and Elmer looked at each other, smiled, and turned to look at Team Leader Cecilia.


    ?Team leader Cecilia from the Ministry of Justice: ������


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 399： The distribution of the cake, the end of the case

    Chapter 399: Distribution of cake, final outcome of the case


    Ten minutes later, special investigation team, conference room.


    ?At this time, the conference room was no longer as lively as before. More than a dozen agents from the three investigation teams all left and went to the office area outside to discuss plans and make preparations before starting the planned operation.


    In the conference room, only the leaders of the three investigation teams were left.


    ??Roan sat at the main seat and drank tea calmly, Elmer sat on the left drinking coffee, and Cecilia sat on the right motionless, with a frighteningly cold face.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and finally it was Cecilia who could no longer hold her breath and spoke out first:


    ��We have the most evidence, I want 50%.��


    ?The three of them just did a simple calculation. The total value of Treveon-Sheffield''s companies, industries, illegal income, etc. is about US$370 million.


    ?Most of the money will be collected by the federal government afterwards, and the three investigation teams will be able to share about 11 million U.S. dollars.


    The 50% that team leader Cecilia said is half of the 11 million she wants.


    "impossible."


    ?Elmer put down the coffee cup and smiled and rejected the offer. The IRS had tried so hard to get just that little.


    ??Thinking that she had led the team to handle this case for such a long time, but now was separated by others, Cecilia''s voice became even colder:


    ��40%!��


    Elmer still shook his head. Just when Cecilia''s face became even more ugly and she was about to continue talking, Luo An put down the tea cup and asked with a faint smile:


    ��Team Leader Cecilia, I heard that you were almost promoted last time. Is this true?��


    After Luo An finished speaking, Team Leader Cecilia frowned slightly, while Team Leader Elmer��s eyes lit up slightly.


    Five minutes later, Team Leader Cecilia left the conference room expressionlessly. Team Leaders Roan and Elmer looked at each other and laughed together.


    The final result of the three-person discussion was that the special investigation team and the IRS totaled 75%, and the investigation team headed by Cecilia of the Ministry of Justice 25%.


    In exchange, the case was attributed to Team Leader Cecilia on the documents. It was under her leadership that everyone solved Treveon Sheffield, a big guy in the underworld.


    Compared with money, team leader Cecilia lacks merit and wants to be promoted more.


    Luo An, who has just become a regular employee, cares more about actual interests than the nominal matters of the case. He also doesn''t like to be in the limelight and face the inquiring media.


    As for Elmer, as long as he solves the money laundering matter of Traywin Sheffield, his credit within the IRS is indispensable, so he doesn''t care about the nominal issues of the case.


    With the departure of team leader Cecilia, the next issue is the distribution of the 75%.


    After some simple bargaining, 44% belonged to Roan��s Special Investigation Team and 31% belonged to Elmer��s IRS-CI.


    Of course, taking into account Elmer''s intervention, when the IRS searches and processes Trevion Sheffield''s companies, properties, and illegal gains, the combined value must be higher than $11 million. The extra portion, Luo An''s special investigation team wants 40%, and Elmer''s IRS-CI wants 60%.


    ?? As for Team Leader Cecilia of the Ministry of Justice, she received 25% of the $11 million. She didn��t ask for the extra just now, so it has nothing to do with her.


    ��Old fox!��


    "Little Fox!"


    After the discussion, Elmer and Luo An looked at each other, said something to each other from the bottom of their hearts, then raised their tea cups and coffee cups together, clinked them, and laughed:


    ��Happy to work with you!�� x2


    ����


    That night, nine o''clock in the evening. Luo An, Elmer and Cecilia briefly discussed with the agents in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team the specific details of the operation and the plan to deal with emergencies, and then immediately ordered the agents start to act.


    Sampson has been captured by Luo An and his men. The best thing to do is to seize the time to avoid long nights and nightmares, and to let Treveon Sheffield and others pay attention to alert them and escape.


    As mentioned before, IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division) has the power to arrest people first and then provide evidence, so Elmer did not fight nonsense and directly led people to break into Trevion Sheffield''s villa. No one dared to stop or resist on the road.


    The name of the IRS is real, not to mention that Elmer arrests people in the name of tax inspection.


    ?? Once the resistance turns into armed tax resistance, the tax agents who will be dispatched behind will not be these tax agents with only a small pistol. Tanks may even rush up.


    Treveon Sheffield was easily taken away by the IRS. While he was busy contacting private accountants and private lawyers, Roan was leading Lacey, Mona and Michelle to lead the SWAT team to attack Trevean. - Henchmen documented in the Sheffield FBI database.


    ??The whole action process was quite fast. First, the new account''s jammer was turned on to prevent his subordinates from contacting Trevion Sheffield or asking for help. Then he directly broke into the room to arrest people, and directly killed the lower-level shrimps who used force to resist.


    After Roan and others successfully arrested Treveon Sheffield''s men and returned them to the Special Investigation Team, Team Leader Cecilia of the Ministry of Justice immediately led his men to severely interrogate these people.


    In addition to physical means, other methods including coercion, inducement, carrot and stick were used by Cecilia and other agents, trying to obtain the key evidence in the shortest possible time that could put Treveon Sheffield in prison forever. .


    A few hours passed, especially after Luo An, Lacey and others also joined the interrogation work, finally one of the subordinates couldn''t bear it and spoke.


    One thing leads to another, and soon the detectives of Team Leader Cecilia of the Ministry of Justice obtained key evidence. Cecilia didn''t waste any time when she saw this, and immediately applied to the court for an arrest warrant and to block Trevion- Request for all assets in Sheffield.


    A few hours passed again, and it was 2:30 pm the next day.


    Before Trayvon Sheffield, his wife Lonique Sheffield, and several accountants and private attorneys could leave the IRS office, Chief Cecilia of the Department of Justice arrived with an arrest warrant. In front of them, looking at the ugly couple, they sneered:


    ��Trewyane Sheffield, Lonique Sheffield, you are under arrest.��


    Just when Team Leader Cecilia was holding an arrest warrant and showing off her power in front of the abusive Treveon-Sheffield couple, Roan was sitting in the monitoring room, holding a teacup and drinking a cup of tea given by Team Elmer. His Yingde black tea.


    In the computer in the monitoring room, there is a picture of the interrogation room next to it. Michelle and Lacey are lowering their heads to record. Opposite them is the murderer Sang who has chosen to plead guilty and is willing to testify to identify Treveon Sheffield and tell everything. Pusen.


    ��This case is basically over at this point.��


    ??Sitting on the chair next to Luo An, Mona looked at the scene on the computer with a complicated expression.


    Although there is still a lot of work to be done in the follow-up, Trevion Sheffield will definitely spend money to fight back, but with the joint efforts of the Special Investigation Team, IRS-CI, and the Cecilia Investigation Team of the Department of Justice, Special Investigation Team Ray Wynn Sheffield was destined to lose everything and end up in jail.


    ��So, those who are black will not have a good ending.��


    ??Roan smiled and patted Mona''s arm. Whitewashing from black to white is the right path, but this path has too many black and white prerequisites. Treveon-Sheffield does not have those, so it is doomed to fail.


    ��Stop talking about this.��


    ?Mona shook her head and put aside the messy thoughts in her mind. After Lacey and Michelle finished interrogating, the two left the monitoring room to deal with Sampson''s follow-up work.


    In the next few days, because this case involved many things, Luo An and the detectives from the special investigation team were busy working on it, and even worked two days of overtime.


    On Friday night, Lacey knocked on the door and walked into the team leader��s office. She pointed to the landline phone in the office area and said:


    ��Luo An, someone is looking for you.��

 Chapter 400： Taking stock of harvest, the reason why Lacey is short of money

    Chapter 400: Taking stock of harvest, the reason why Lacey is short of money


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ??Luo An left the team leader��s office, answered the landline phone, and found that the person on the other side was John Rodriguez (Chapter 384)


    ?Under Luo An��s introduction, the other party successfully met with Mr. Clement from the FBI headquarters in Washington, DC.


    Luo An didn''t know exactly what the two talked about or what conditions they exchanged, but when he heard John''s hearty laughter on the phone, Luo An knew that this trip to the other party was definitely not in vain.


    ��Congratulations, President John.��


    ?? Luo An chuckled. In the country of the Federation, the connection between businessmen and politicians is far closer than ordinary people imagine. The two help each other and restrain each other.


    In the past, when John Rodriguez was working in the CIA, Clement didn''t have to meet him, but now that John has become the president of the Muller Group, there is a lot more maneuverability, and Clement Sir, he wouldn''t mind solving some minor CIA problems for John.


    ?Hearing what Luo An said, John Rodriguez on the other end of the phone laughed loudly and said a few words of modesty. After chatting with Luo An for a while, he finally revealed the purpose of his call:


    ?John and John��s wife, as well as their daughter Carla, reserved a table at a French restaurant in Los Angeles on the weekend and wanted to invite Roan to have a casual dinner.


    "no problem."


    Luo An thought about it and immediately figured out that the other party''s purpose was to have a relationship with him. Luo An happened to also think of something that the other party could help with, so he smiled and nodded and agreed.


    ??After continuing to chat for a while, the two hung up the phone. John, who was far away, immediately called his wife with a smile on his face to explain the situation. Luo An turned around and returned to his team leader''s office. He still had some unfinished work.


    ?While dealing with the work, Luo An also calculated the gains during this period.


    Starting from the [Hollywood tycoon shot case] to the [Judge Hotel Sports Murder Case] ??which was handled a few days ago, Luo An handled a total of 4 cases during this period.


    ?Each case was solved and there was a bonus of US$2,000. In two of the cases, the bonus was doubled afterwards. In addition to the salary of US$1,000 per week, Luo An''s basic income during this period was US$16,000.


    After the [Hollywood tycoon shot case] was solved, the father of the 18-year-old female killer Lacosa O''Dell (Chapter 337), 86-year-old "oldmoney" Puranna O''Dell, donated $1 million to the Special Investigation Team , and "purchased" $4 million worth of stocks in Luo An.


    ?The $1 million has been divided equally among the other three people in the special investigation team. Luo An received 250,000. Adding the 4 million, Luo An gained a total of 4.25 million U.S. dollars in this case.


    In the next [Case of Missing Girls in Villa Area], John Rodriguez donated 1 million US dollars to the Special Investigation Team. According to past situations, the four members of the Special Investigation Team once again shared the money equally. In addition, John also donated Luo An was given a personal thank you payment of US$3 million and a reward of US$2 million for helping to meet Mr. Clement.


    [Los Angeles Assembly Speaker Physical Secession Case], the smuggling case encountered in the middle, the special investigation team received a total of 2.23 million US dollars. Five other new agents participated in this case to assist, so the money was also given to Luo An afterwards. They divided a small part, and most of the rest was merged into the special investigation team''s case handling funds. The four Luo An only divided a small part.


    ? ? Adding up the gains during this period, Luo An��s accumulation reached 9.56 million US dollars.


    ? ? 9 million US dollars of which was used by Luo An to buy Netflix stock, and the remaining 560,000 US dollars was set aside by him as a reserve fund for emergencies.


    As for the [judge hotel movement was sniped] case that Luo An is currently dealing with, the post-event harvest from the companies that bought and sold illegal income could not be obtained within a year and a half, so Luo An chose to wait quietly.


    After taking care of his harvest, Luo An also simply distributed the portion that belonged to Mona, Michelle and Lacey.


    Looking at the 506,000 US dollars that belonged to him in the folder, Michelle''s eyes looked at Luo An with a bright light. Then there was never a shortage of water in Luo An''s teacup. Except for the documents that Luo An had to handle himself, other documents It has never appeared on Luo An''s desk.


    When Mona saw this number, her breathing became rapid and her eyes widened with ripples. Luo An, who was familiar with Mona, could tell at a glance that she couldn''t hold it in any longer, but this was the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team after all. An had no choice but to give her a look, telling her to endure it until she got home in the evening.


    When Lacey saw this number, she cheered and became excited again. The listlessness she usually felt when dealing with documents disappeared in an instant. She gave Luo An a big hug and waved her hand, taking Luo An for the next three months... one month. lunch. Luo An: ������


    ?Seeing the speechless expression on Luo An''s face, Lacey chuckled, walked behind Luo An and massaged his shoulders, and explained with a smile:


    ��You know, I am short of money.��


    Luo An turned around with doubts on his face:


    ��What on earth are you doing? Why are you so short of money?��


    Based on Lacey��s ridiculously low daily expenses, coupled with the gains she has gained from the Special Investigation Team for such a long time, Luo An judged that her gains combined must exceed one million.


    ��Well...I plan to prepare more pension money for myself.��


    Facing Luo An��s question, Lacey was silent for a few seconds and explained with a low smile:


    ��The chance that the federal court will support same-sex marriage is very low, and I don��t know what will happen in the future. There is a high chance that I will be alone until I grow old, so it is absolutely right to prepare more pension funds.


    I plan to save money to buy a house, buy a car, and buy some pension insurance. "


    ����


    Looking at Lacey, who was now making plans for retirement, Luo An licked his lips and said nothing.


    He remembered that not long after 2005 in his previous life, several state courts in the federation passed bills allowing same-sex marriage. If Lacey wanted to marry a girl, she could go to that state at that time.


    However, Luo An had no way to tell Lacey this kind of thing, and he couldn''t say that he had the ability to predict the future, so he had no choice but to pat Lacey''s arm to express his support for her. Living in the country of the Federation, saving money is always the most important thing. a good thing.


    "Thanks."


    Hearing that Luo An supported her, Lacey smiled and thanked her as usual, and her gratitude to Luo An increased even more in her heart.


    This is another reason why Lacey likes to stay in the Special Investigation Team and work under Luo An:


    ? Luo An does not discriminate against Lacey''s orientation, and he has never shown any discrimination against Lacey in his speech or behavior. He has always treated Lacey as a normal person.


    ?This is not easy. In 2005, the federation was still dominated by conservatism, not to mention the FBI, a law enforcement agency where conservative personnel accounted for the vast majority.


    "You''re welcome."


    Roan smiled and replied. He had roughly understood Lacey''s thoughts for a long time, and he didn''t want to do anything specifically. He just let nature take its course, so he pointed to his left shoulder and said:


    ��Go on, use a little more force here.��


    Lacie: ������


    The time soon came to get off work. Luo An and Mona played a game of poker on Friday night and stayed at home for a day off the next day. At 8:30 on Sunday night, Luo An drove Mona with him. They both accepted the invitation and went there. What John Rodriguez calls a high-end French restaurant.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 401： Deals in restaurants, newbie reports, breaking news

    Chapter 401 Transactions in the restaurant, newbie reports, emergencies


    ??The French restaurant that John Rodriguez booked is called "Noah". It is located at the foot of Beverly Hills and is one of the most upscale French restaurants in Los Angeles.


    The restaurant has no obvious signboard, only a small dark wooden door, which can be found corresponding to the Valet parking service sign at the door.


    The interior of the restaurant is large, with romantic decoration and artistic flavor, and the environment is comfortable and comfortable. The entrance is like a flower room, and the seats are arranged under the glass ceiling. With soft lights and elegant music, it creates a mysterious and elegant atmosphere. Atmosphere.


    ??However, Luo An didn��t have any artistic bacteria. When he walked into the restaurant with Mona, who was wearing a red dress, he had only one feeling: expensive.


    As expected, following the waiter''s guidance, when Luo An and Mona walked into the depths of the restaurant, they saw dishes on the menu that easily cost thousands of dollars, which successfully verified Luo An''s suspicion.


    Deep in the restaurant, John Rodriguez, Madalyn Allen, and Carla Muller''s family, all dressed in costumes, were waiting. When Roan and Mona arrived, John immediately stood up and walked towards them, stretched out his hand and said with a smile:


    ��Good evening, Team Leader Luo An, Ms. Mona.��


    ��Good evening, President John, we are not late.��


    ??Roan stretched out his hand and shook it, Mona also said hello to Madalyn Allen face to face, and then sat next to the little girl Kara Muller.


    ��It��s not too late, we have just arrived.��


    John replied with a smile, sat down with Luo An, exchanged a few words, and waved his hand to indicate to the waiter that the food could be served.


    The dishes that were served were very sumptuous, and the people at the table chatted and laughed constantly while eating.


    ?One of the big problems with French food is that it takes a long time to cook. By the time the last dish came, Luo An, who digested it quickly, was almost hungry.


    When it was time for dessert after the meal, Mona, Madalyn Allen and the little girl Kara Mueller began to chat together. Roan picked up the wine glass, pointed to the balcony not far away, looked at John and smiled:


    ��Let��s go over there and have a chat?��


    "no problem."


    John smiled and agreed, and the two walked to the balcony with wine glasses. Roan looked at the beautiful scenery of Beverly Hills outside the window and said:


    ��President John went to Washington this time and gained a lot.��


    ��I would also like to thank Team Leader Luo An for the introduction.��


    John replied with a smile, and then said that if there is any need, he can definitely help.


    ��There is indeed a small matter that requires President John��s help.��


    Hearing this, Luo An did not show off to the other party. He briefly introduced the female killer Jianaya (Chapter 335) and the killer Spencer (Chapter 333), and briefly explained the situation in the underground world of Los Angeles.


    John is a smart man. After listening to Luo An��s narration, he picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and asked:


    ��Team Leader Luo An wants to know the specific situation of the underground world in Los Angeles?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An nodded and learned from the two killers that his name had been spread in the underground world of Los Angeles. Insecure, he had been trying to figure out the composition and details of the underground world of Los Angeles. It is not a good thing to keep the enemy in the dark while we are clear. .


    He has no intention of completely destroying the underground world. If there is a demand, there will be a market. It is impossible for this thing to disappear completely in the federation. Luo An only plans to find out the structure of the underground world in Los Angeles and get some informants to help him solve the case and get information. And monitor whether anyone wants to attack you.


    ???Roan''s current identity is the leader of the FBI Special Investigation Team. He cannot disappear and lose contact for a long time. Lacey, Mona and Michelle cannot go undercover, and they have no time to explore the underground world.


    So Luo An planned to ask John, a rich man, to help him find out the components of the underground world in Los Angeles, and then Luo An would find time to chat with some of the people in it.


    "no problem!"


    John Rodriguez agreed without hesitation. This was not difficult for him. It happened that he wanted to have a good relationship with Luo An and help each other to make the relationship between the two better. It��s like the theory of borrowing money: the people with the highest success rate in borrowing money are not relatives and friends, but people who have lent you money before.


    ?After the matter was settled, Luo An and John picked up their wine glasses, clinked them, looked at each other, smiled and drank the wine in one gulp.


    ?More than half an hour later, dinner was over. Luo An and Mona left first. Because they drank some wine, they asked a driver from a French restaurant to help drive.


    ?? Returning to the rental house, Luo An sat down on the sofa to rest. Mona returned to the room and changed into a set of household clothes. Then she sat next to Luo An, slowly squeezed into Luo An''s arms, and asked while watching TV:


    ��What did you and John do when you left the dinner table?��


    ��We talked about a little matter.��


    ?Seeing that Luo An didn''t say anything, Mona stopped asking and turned the topic to Madalyn Allen and her daughter Kara Muller.


    ��Madalene is very uneasy now.��


    ?Mona watched the program on TV and said:


    ��Because John needs to consolidate Kara-M��ller��s position in the M��ller Group, he often takes her around to visit the industries and companies under the M��ller Group, which makes Madalyn spend less and less time in contact with Kara����


    In a biological sense, Carla Muller is John Rodriguez''s biological daughter, and Madalyn Allen is just the adoptive mother. Although Madalyn loves Carla very much, as Carla grows up, and No one in the wealthy Muller Group knows what will happen next.


    ?John��s purpose is to help his daughter win her part of the Mueller Group. Madalyn only wanted her daughter more, and she didn��t care about the Mueller Group.


    ?Listening to Mona''s narration, Luo An''s expression remained unchanged and he did not express his own opinion. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. They can only handle the affairs of John''s family by themselves, and Luo An cannot and does not need to get involved.


    ��Don��t mention these things anymore.��


    ??Luo An smiled and pinched Mona''s pretty face, his right hand got into her clothes like a snake, and laughed softly:


    ��I was cleaning up the room at noon today, and I seemed to see it in your bedroom...��


    ��Stop!��


    ??Mona''s face instantly turned red when she heard this, and she suddenly turned over and jumped on Luo An. Luo An smiled when he saw this, selectively ignored the screams in his ears, and walked into her bedroom with Mona in his arms.


    ����


    Monday, 9 a.m., Special Investigation Team, office area.


    There were four workstations in the office area before, one each for Mona, Michelle and Lacey. The extra team leader Luo An used it occasionally, and more often for temporary stacking of documents or miscellaneous items.


    Today there are two more workstations in the office area. Two newcomers are standing in front of the whiteboard. Luo An pointed at the two of them and said with a smile:


    ��Chenelle, Winslow, we are all acquaintances, so I won��t introduce you in detail. I will leave the two new work stations to you.��


    ? Winslow smiled and waved to everyone, Chenelle nodded without saying anything, Mona, Lacey and Michelle all applauded to welcome the two of them.


    After saying a few words, Luo An turned and left the special investigation team and went to say hello to Potente Byrne, the team leader.


    ?Michelle helped Winslow organize his personal belongings, while Lacey ran to Chenelle to help. It wasn��t that she had any thoughts about Chenelle, but she just liked to get close to women out of habit.


    ? Half an hour later, Winslow and Chenelle had almost sorted their personal belongings and were about to turn on their computers and follow Mona''s instructions to log into the Special Investigation Team''s network when the door to the office area was suddenly pushed open from the outside.


    ?Mona, Lacey and Michelle all looked up. The three of them thought that it was Luo An who was returning to the Special Investigation Team with a folder of new cases as usual.


    ??It turned out that the person who came was not Luo An, but Morton York, the leader of the No. 4 investigation team. He asked with a serious face:


    ��Is Team Leader Luo An in the office? I have something urgent to ask him!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 402： [The case of a naval officer who disappeared in the middle of the night]

    Chapter 402 [The case of a naval officer who disappeared in the middle of the night]


    Office of the group leader.


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    Roan knocked on the door and entered the office. He was chatting with Potente Byrne. Chenier and Winslow were able to transfer to the special investigation team in such a short time. Potente Byrne helped a lot.


    ? Potente-Bourne looked at Luo An with a smile on his face, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became.


    ?A few days ago, Potente Byrne and Luo An just held a press conference for the [physical secession case of the Los Angeles Assembly Speaker]. The serial murder case of more than a dozen victims caused an uproar among the citizens of Los Angeles.


    ??Major media outlets are reporting like crazy. If you leave the building and buy a newspaper on the streets of Los Angeles, you will see photos of Potente Byrne and Roan Greenwood on it.


    ??The mayor of Los Angeles, the new speaker of the Los Angeles Council, and even the governor of California have expressed their views on the case and called Potente-Byrne to offer praise and encouragement.


    Veranith from afar also called and praised Luo An. Mr. Clement also took the time to call Luo An, praising Luo An for his good work and inviting Luo An to come to Grammar during the Christmas holiday. A potluck dinner at Clement''s house.


    Luo An agreed to the other party''s invitation. He knew that this was Mr. Clement''s move to win people''s hearts, but he didn''t mind. After all, only high-value people can be valued by the other party. What''s more, Luo An''s journey will definitely change after this. Smoother.


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    ??Just when Potente Byrne and Luo An were chatting happily, there was a sudden knock on the door of the team leader''s office. It was Morton York, the leader of the No. 4 investigation team.


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    After entering the room, Morton-York exchanged a few brief greetings without any nonsense. He turned his eyes directly to Luo An who was sitting on the chair and said:


    ��I have a case that I would like to ask Team Leader Luo An for help with.��


    Luo An:?


    ? Morton-York did not mince words, saying the case he was talking about was a disappearance.


    ? Ordinary disappearance cases do not require the FBI to intervene. Even if the FBI does, the experienced Morton-York is capable of handling the case.


    But this case is different. The missing person is still related to Morton York. According to the FBI''s internal regulations, Morton York cannot handle this case.


    ?At the end, Morton-York once again apologized for the previous incident and sincerely asked Luo An for help.


    Potente Byrne, the team leader next to him, did not speak. He knew about the bad blood between Roan and Morton York. With Roan''s performance during this period, the balance in Potente Byrne''s heart began to move towards Roan. An tilted, he now respected Luo An''s personal attitude.


    ?Under Morton-York''s nervous eyes, Luo An looked at the general information of the case, was silent for a few seconds, laughed, raised his head and said:


    ��OK, I can take this case, but I also have something to ask Team Leader Morton for help.��


    ?Roan wanted Morton-York to do the same thing as John Rodriguez: figure out the ins and outs of Los Angeles�� underworld.


    ?Morton-York has spent a lot of time in Los Angeles and must have some knowledge of the Los Angeles underworld.


    By then, by comparing the clues found by John Rodriguez with the clues provided by Morton York, Luo An will be able to roughly determine the true situation of the underground world in Los Angeles.


    "no problem!"


    ?Morton-York agreed without hesitation. He had seen Luo An''s performance during this period. While he regretted his original behavior, he had also been busy building a good relationship with Luo An.


    ?Morton-York also helped Luo An several times in the previous cases. It was because he saw the other party''s current attitude and behavior that Luo An chose to take on this case.


    ??Then he briefly chatted with Potente Byrne, and after Morton York gave him all the information about the disappearance case, Roan returned to the special investigation team with these documents.


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    Lacey, Michelle and Mona were chatting with the newcomers Winslow and Chenelle. Winslow was okay, he looked fierce but spoke very gently, while Chenelle''s attitude was a bit cold, not that I don''t like Lacey and others, I just don''t like talking, and the whole person is a bit boring.


    ��Good morning, fellow agents!��


    ? ? Pushing open the door of the Special Investigation Team, Luo An smiled, raised the folder in his hand, and said:


    ��We can put aside the old talk. It��s still some time before Christmas, but we have received new gifts in advance.��


    ��I hope you don��t receive this kind of gift on Christmas Day.��


    Lacie turned her chair back to her original position and complained in a low voice. Mona next to her asked directly:


    ��What case is it again?�� ��A disappearance case, this time the missing person is a soldier.��


    ?Handed the folder to Michelle, who distributed it to the agents. Luo An turned around and posted photos of the missing people on the whiteboard and introduced:


    ��Peteto-Ossen, 45 years old, is a federal navy captain.


    ??Last night around 11:30, I lost contact and was nowhere to be found. Time has passed by now..."


    ?Luo An looked up at the clock and then said:


    ��Ten hours.��


    ��The naval officer is missing?��


    Looking at the folder in her hand, Lacey scratched her head:


    ��It��s not a terrorist seeking revenge, is it?��


    ��It��s also possible that he has done something, and now his identity is exposed and someone comes to visit him.��


    Luo An casually replied with another guess, then tapped the whiteboard and said loudly:


    ��Everyone, the missing person is a naval officer, and there must be a lot of things in his head. These things are most likely the targets of the kidnappers.


    48 hours is the prime time for a kidnapping case, and we must find each other within this time.


    ?Mona, Michelle, you two stay with the special investigation team and use the computer to check Pitdo Olson''s personal financial status, emotional status, recent whereabouts and other information.


    Lacey, Winslow, you two go to the naval base where Pitdo Olson served and see if there are any clues.


    Chenelle, you and I come together. We go to the location where Pitdo Olsen was last seen yesterday to check on the situation and see what the witnesses say. "


    ��OK!��


    "no problem!"


    ?After receiving the exact order, a group of agents started working as required. Two SUVs drove out of the parking lot and began to move quickly in two directions.


    The federal army is different from the armies of many countries. First of all, there are military bases set up by the federal navy next to major cities in the federation, as well as in cities in some foreign countries.


    Secondly, the management of the federal army is also very lax. Whether soldiers or officers, unless they make a mistake, they can leave the base for a period of time to have fun.


    ? ?The last place Peter Olsen was seen before his disappearance was a bar in north Los Angeles.


    ? ? The car driven by Pitdo Olson was parked on the corner diagonally across from the bar. It was intact and there was no surveillance nearby. Roan and Chenier didn''t find any clues here, so they opened the door and entered the bar.


    "I know him, he came last night, but I didn''t expect him to be a naval officer... But now that I think about it, he does fit the image of a naval officer."


    ??The bar owner is a fat middle-aged woman. After seeing the photo of Pitdo Olsen shown by Luo An, she put down the glass in her hand and smiled:


    ��Every time this guy comes to my place, he brings a woman with him, or he temporarily finds a woman in the bar. After the two of them have a drink, he will drag the woman straight to the Express Hotel not far away.��


    ��OK.��


    Roan declined to comment on Pitto-Ossen��s personal lifestyle, and went on to ask:


    ��Did anything unusual happen when he was here last night?��


    ��There is indeed one thing.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 403： Angry suspect, clues

    Chapter 403: Angry suspect, clues


    ?Hearing Luo An��s question, the bar owner pointed to the trash can outside the bar behind Luo An and Cheniel and said:


    ��This guy had a fight with a bald guy in the trash can last night. The bald guy didn��t win. In the end, he said he would bring someone to take revenge.��


    Luo An looked at the trash can and asked:


    ��Do you have surveillance here?��


    ��There is one, but the surveillance areas are the bar and the main hall, and the trash cans cannot be illuminated.��


    ??The bar owner laughed, got two glasses of ice water for Luo An and Cheniel, and said with a smile:


    "But I know who the bald guy is. His name is Nat. He is a frequent visitor to our place. He lives in a community not far from here."


    After getting the bald man��s home address, Luo An laughed and nodded with satisfaction:


    "Thank you for your cooperation."


    "You''re welcome."


    ?The bar owner pointed to the ice water on the bar:


    ��Two dollars, thank you.��


    ����


    Leaving the bar, Roan and Chenelle drove to Nat''s house. They didn''t go far when they received a call from Mona.


    ��Pitto-Ossen��s economic situation is very simple.��


    ??The target on the other end of the phone looked at the information on the computer, spread his hands, and said:


    ��Pitto Olsen has no real estate and has been living at the naval base. He has a borrowed car and less than $4,000 in the bank. He has no additional income and lives solely on his navy salary.��


    ��It��s been a long time since I��ve met a guy with such a simple financial situation.��


    ??Luo An frowned slightly and replied casually. The information Mona found showed that the kidnapper''s goal was not money. After thinking about it, he told Mona the information about Nat and asked her to check the other party.


    It didn��t take long for Mona on the other end of the phone to find the other party��s brief information:


    ��Nat Norris, 38 years old, was a member of the Federal Army a year ago.��


    ? Luo An was a little confused:


    "a year ago?"


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Mona replied:


    ��Mr Nutt was kicked out of the Army a year ago after he punched his superior in a sneak attack.��


    ��Has a bad temper.��


    ?Thinking that he had a fight last night, Luo An smiled and asked:


    ��Is there any connection between him and Pietto-Ossen?��


    ��One is the navy and the other is the army. Judging from the service units alone, there is no direct connection.��


    As soon as Mona on the other end of the phone finished speaking, Michelle��s voice suddenly sounded and said:


    ��However, Nat Norris��s wife works as an assistant in the Navy, and she has many phone calls and emails with Pete Olson�� There are many hotel room numbers and heart-shaped patterns in the emails the two communicate.��


    ��OK.��


    ? Luo An suddenly realized, this could explain why Tunnate beat Pitdo Olson last night.


    ?Let Mona and Michelle continue to investigate the situation of the missing person, Luo An hung up the phone, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and soon arrived at the community where Nat Norris lived.


    Rather than go directly to Nat Norris��s home to check the situation, Luo An and Chenelle went to the community manager first and asked:


    ��Do you have surveillance here?��


    ?The manager of the community is an old white man in his fifties. When he saw Luo An showing the FBI''s golden badge, he immediately raised his hands and made a lot of gestures.


    Luo An frowned slightly when he saw this, and Cheniel standing next to him immediately stood up and explained:


    ��He is deaf-mute.��


    ?Speaking, Cheniel also raised her hands and made some gestures. The old white man''s eyes lit up when he saw this, and he made more gestures, and the two started communicating with each other.


    After a moment, Chenelle turned back and said:


    "He said that there was no surveillance here, but he saw Natn Norris last night. The other party returned here at more than one o''clock in the morning, and never left." Yes, there was a gap of more than an hour."


    ??Roan nodded, imitated Chenelle and made a "thank you" gesture to the old white man, then turned and walked upstairs to the room where Nat Norris was.


    While climbing the stairs, Luo An looked at Chenelle and smiled:


    ��I didn��t expect you to know sign language.��


    ��I learned a little before.��


    Cheniel whispered back without further explanation.


    Seeing that Chenelle didn��t want to say anything, Roan didn��t ask in detail. The two quickly walked to the door of Nat Norris�� house, took out their pistols and stood on either side. Roan knocked on the door and shouted:


    ��Nat Norris! Are you at home? There is your package downstairs!��


    A few seconds later, a male voice that sounded like he had just woken up came from the room and asked doubtfully:


    ��Who are you? My package? Are you sure?��


    Luo An��s tone was very unhappy and he said:


    "The name on the package is Nat Norris. Is this person you? If so, hurry up and get it! I have other packages to deliver! Don''t waste my time!"


    ��Fu-k!��


    Hearing Luo An''s words, Nat Norris''s curses suddenly rang out in the room. In less than two seconds, the door was opened. Nat Norris walked out of the room with an angry face and cursed loudly. road:


    ��Sonof����


    Before the word "Bite" was uttered, Luo An reached out and quickly grabbed Nat''s arm. With a strong grasp, he pressed his whole body against the wall. Chenille next to him raised his pistol and aimed closely at Nat. head, said coldly:


    ��FBI! Don��t move!��


    ��#%������


    ??Nat Norris was stunned by this sudden situation, and after reacting, he cursed even louder.


    ??However, there are only a few curse words that Nat Norris uses back and forth, far less than Aria (Chapter 212) who cursed a lot in [The case of the former No. 5 female detective from Investigation Team being shot].


    ?Handled Nat Norris into the room, Chenelle followed closely and closed the door. Roan threw him back on the sofa and asked directly:


    ��Stop scolding and tell me, where is Pitdo Olsen?��


    ? Nat Norris was slightly startled:


    "who?"


    ��Pete Olson, the guy who fought with you at the bar last night.��


    Luo An shook the handcuffs in his hand and said:


    ��We have found out about your fight with him and the relationship between him and your wife. Tell us what happened last night.��


    ��So you are talking about the guy raised by my cousin.��


    ??Nat Norris looked suddenly enlightened and said with a smile:


    ��You FBI came to me because he was killed, right? He deserved it!��


    Roan and Chenelle looked at each other. They both discovered the hidden problem in Nat Norris''s words, so they asked directly without any nonsense:


    ��What really happened last night?��


    Nat Norris was smiling all over his face. He happily picked up the water on the coffee table and took a sip. He said with a smile:


    ��A few people got out of a van, and the guy who was raised by my cousin was pulled away before he could react.��


    Nat Norris said that he had not beaten Pete Olson last night, and he planned to call someone to help him, but those "friends" ignored him at all, and Nat Norris was so angry that he kicked him down several times. A trash can on a street corner.


    Unable to swallow his breath, Nat Norris took a sip of wine, picked up a stick, and planned to attack Pitto Olsen later. As a result, he saw Pitto Olsen being abducted by a van.


    ��Those guys are definitely not ordinary people.��


    ??Nat Norris has been in the Army for several years, and still has good eyesight. He said that those few people were agile and well-trained, and they were definitely not ordinary people.


    As for why he didn''t call the police at the time... Nat Norris laughed and said that he was too drunk and forgot about it, but both Roan and Chenelle guessed that the real reason was definitely related to Pete Olsen and Nat''s wife.


    Chenelle took out her mobile phone and was about to call Mona, and asked at the same time:


    ��What does that van look like? Did you see the license plate number?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 404： Lumber factory, missing person found

    Chapter 404: Timber Factory, Find the Missing Person


    The living room of Nat Norris''s home.


    ??Now that the FBI has come to the door, it means that Peter Olson''s matter has been focused on them. Nat Norris has a bad temper but is not a fool and does not want to go against the FBI.


    ?Hearing Chenelle��s question, Nat Norris tilted his head, thought for a while, and said:


    ��The other party was driving too fast and I couldn��t see the license plate number clearly.


    ??However, the van was off-white, with a brand name that seemed to be Ford. It had a Confederate flag and several cartoon character stickers on it, and there were four or five people inside. "


    ��Confederate flag? Cartoon character sticker?��


    Roan frowned slightly when he heard this. Chenier pressed the dial button and told Mona the information.


    Not long after, Mona��s reply came from the other end of the phone:


    ��I was monitoring the corner four streets away from the bar and found the car.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An took Cheniel��s cell phone and asked:


    ��Who is the owner of the car? Can you see what the driver looks like?��


    ��Judging from the license plate number����


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone answered while typing on the keyboard:


    ��The owner of this van is the owner of a store in northern Los Angeles, but according to bank accounts, his family recently left the Commonwealth by plane and sent their daughter to university in the United Kingdom.


    As for the driver, the car entered the surveillance camera from a diagonal angle, and I couldn��t see the driver. "


    ��OK, it means this car is stolen.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he continued to ask:


    ��So, besides these two bad news, do you have any good news for me?��


    "certainly."


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone smiled and said:


    ��After I entered the car��s information into the LAPD database, I discovered that this car was captured in a patrol officer��s dash cam last night.


    I checked the surveillance camera based on where the patrol officer was at that time and found that the van finally entered a lumber factory in northern Los Angeles and never came out. "


    ��Well done!��


    ??Luo An praised Mona loudly, threw the phone back to Chenelle, and said:


    ��Contact the SWAT team and we��ll go to the lumber factory to arrest people.��


    "no problem."


    Chenelle started to contact SWAT, and Luo An took her to the SUV parked outside the community. While walking, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Lacey:


    ��It��s me, Luo An, how are you doing over there?��


    ��No clues were found related to the disappearance of Pitdo Olson, but there is a little problem.��


    On the other end of the phone, Lacey said that Winslow was negotiating with people at the naval base. She was now in Pitdo Olson''s office and whispered:


    ��I found a notebook at the bottom of the files on Pitdo Olsen��s desk.


    There were not many English letters written in the notebook, but there were a lot of neatly arranged numbers. I checked carefully and found that these numbers were not Morse code or anything else, but accumulated accounts of some funds. "


    Luo An frowned slightly when he heard this:


    ��You mean that Pitdo Olson had a financial chain that we couldn��t find during his lifetime?��


    ��It��s very likely.��


    ??Remembering that Nat Norris said earlier that the group of people who kidnapped Pitdo Olsen were unusual, Luo An was silent for a few seconds and said:


    ��Be careful during the next investigation, and you and Winslow must not act separately.


    ??If you feel something is wrong, stop the investigation immediately and return to the original route. If it doesn''t work, remember to call for support immediately. "


    "clear."


    Lacie understood the subtext of Luo An''s words and nodded solemnly in agreement.


    Luo An hung up the phone and lowered his head in thought. Chenille raised her phone and said that the SWAT team had set off to north Los Angeles. Luo An opened the door and got into the driver''s seat of the SUV. He waited for Cheniere to fasten her seat belt and started immediately. The SUV darted into the road. Half an hour later, a lumber factory in northern Los Angeles.


    The SWAT personnel carrier and the SUV of the Special Investigation Team arrived at the designated location. Luo An and Cheniel arranged their weapons, turned on the communicator, and said:


    ��The goal of this operation is to find Pitdo Olson, and the photos have been distributed to everyone.


    ?If the enemy violently counterattacks with a gun, he is allowed to be killed. Repeat, if the enemy violently counterattacks with a gun, he is allowed to be killed! "


    "clear!"


    ?A group of SWAT team members agreed with a bang. Luo An checked the time with everyone. After the time reached the designated position, he loudly said:


    "start to act!"


    Boom��


    As soon as the words fell, a group of SWAT team members who were ready rushed out of the personnel carrier. After getting off the vehicle, they immediately divided into two teams and rushed into the factory from the front and rear doors of the lumber factory.


    ??Heavily armed Luo An and Chenille followed the SWAT team closely and slowly entered through the front door of the lumber factory.


    Before entering the factory, Luo An and Chenier found the Ford van in the open space outside the factory. The two looked at each other without saying a word. They planned to call the people from the trace inspection department to inspect it. Maybe they could find it there. I found some clues in the car.


    ?This lumber factory is large, but it seems to have been shut down for a long time. The SWAT team quickly searched forward and found no one.


    ?Luo An knew that Chenier was very skilled, so he moved very quickly after entering the factory this time, and he and the SWAT team quickly moved forward to inspect every room.


    ��Find the target person!��


    Suddenly, the communicator on Luo An��s chest heard the cry of a SWAT team member:


    ��At location D1, the target person was found!��


    The current location of Luo An and Chenier was not far from the D1 position. When Chenier heard the voice in the contact, she immediately ran over with her gun raised, and then saw Petedo who was tied to a chair. - Olson.


    The chair is a household wooden chair that can be seen everywhere in the lumber factory, and the rope used to tie people up is also the hemp rope that can be found everywhere in the lumber factory. Pitto Olsen on the chair has his head lowered and has lost his breath.


    At the same time, there were bruises and scars everywhere on Pitdo Olsen''s face, chest, arms, and other places. There were also two bone-deep cuts on his left and right thighs, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground under the chair. Dark red blood.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??Seeing the miserable state of Peter Olson who was obviously tortured to death, Chenelle cursed in a low voice with an ugly face.


    The SWAT team members have completed their operation and have not found any enemies in the factory. Upon hearing this, Cheniel subconsciously turned her head and looked to her side, preparing to ask Luo An what to do next.


    ??As a result, Chenelle turned her head and found that Luo An was not beside her at all, but squatting on the ground not far away, carefully picking up something.


    ?Chenelle quickly walked over to Luo An and took a closer look, only to realize that the thing Luo An was playing with was a toothpick.


    ��This is most likely left behind by the group that kidnapped Pitdo Olsen.��


    Luo An took out the white evidence bag, put the toothpick in it, and explained with a smile:


    ��This factory has been shut down for a long time, but this toothpick is obviously new. If we turn it over to the Trace Inspection Department, we may be able to get some useful clues.��


    ?Chenelle nodded and walked with Roan to the chair where Pitdo Olson was tied. She pointed to the wounds on Pitdo Olson''s legs and said:


    ��The wound looked very much like a military dagger.��


    ��Either an image, or a military dagger.��


    ??Looking at the wound, Roan confirmed Chenier''s guess, then squatted on the ground, looked up at Pitdo Olsen''s drooping head, and frowned:


    ��Obviously, these kidnappers are a group of guys with military backgrounds, and they kidnapped Pitdo Olsen to get a message out of him.


    ?Now it seems that they have a high probability of success. "

 Chapter 405： emergencies, anti-tank missiles

    Chapter 405: Emergencies, anti-tank missiles


    ?? Chenier looked at the corpse on the chair, pondered for a few seconds, walked to Luo An and whispered a guess of hers:


    ��Could it be someone from the naval base who did it?��


    Luo An was silent for a few seconds and slowly shook his head:


    ��It��s possible, but not very likely.��


    ??If people at the naval base were to do it, they would have plenty of ways to make the action more secretive. There is no need to make it so big.


    ��But there is definitely a connection between this case and the naval base.��


    ??Luo An straightened up, patted Cheniel on the shoulder, took out his mobile phone and called the Trace Inspection Department and asked them to handle the scene.


    ?While waiting for the trace examination department to arrive, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, and Lacey''s voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone:


    ��Luo An, something happened.��


    ����


    Northwest of Los Angeles, a warehouse next to a seaport.


    ?Hang up the phone, Luo An and Cheniel drove here not long after. As soon as they got out of the SUV, they saw an ambulance driving out quickly from the two of them.


    Luo An glanced at the blood on the ground in front of the warehouse, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the short-haired middle-aged white man who came to him, and introduced himself:


    Hello, Roan Greenwood, head of the FBI''s Special Investigations Unit.


    ��Hello, just call me Elliot.��


    The white man with an inch hair looked very ugly, but he still suppressed his anger and stretched out his hand to shake Luo An''s hand.


    Luo An didn��t waste any time and asked directly:


    "How is this going?"


    ��Forty minutes ago, a car parked at the door. Someone entered the password and broke in through the door.��


    Elliott said that this is a temporary warehouse for storing ammunition, and the defense is not as strict as other military warehouses.


    Elliot pointed to the pools of blood on the ground and said:


    ��Several intruders shot and killed the four sentries guarding the warehouse, and then used the password to directly enter the warehouse. The process was very fast. After finding the target, they took it and left. The whole process took less than ten minutes.��


    Roan and Cheniel looked at each other and guessed where the intruder''s password came from.


    Glancing at a warehouse not far away where a bunch of people were coming in and out, Luo An frowned slightly and asked:


    ��What is missing from the warehouse?��


    ��I don��t know, I��m still screening.��


    Elliot shook his head. The weapons in this warehouse were all destined for a military base outside the Federation. They were temporarily piled here due to some problems. The weapons and equipment were very messy, and it would take some time to find out.


    ??Roan and Cheniel were speechless about this, but the federal army has been in a state of chaotic management for more than a day or two. The army itself is still very closed, and others have never been able to intervene.


    During the war in the previous life of the federal army, nine sheep cost 6 million US dollars, a USB adapter cost 2,800 US dollars, and a coffee cup cost 700 US dollars. Luo An was very emotional about this.


    Sure enough, making money still depends on capitalist countries. He is still too young and cannot grasp many things.


    ?Time passed by, and after more than four hours, the list of lost items was finally listed, and Winslow and Lacey also arrived.


    A lot of more common weapons and ammunition were not lost, only 10 rifles, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, some grenades, smoke grenades and shock grenades were missing.


    ?Neither Roan nor Elliot paid much attention to these things, because they both focused on the other missing weapon:


    FGM-148


    ��Shit!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Seeing this string of English letters, Elliot''s face suddenly became so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his eyes. Winslow and Chenelle took a breath of cold air, and Luo An''s eyebrows twitched, and his face looked very ugly.


    Lacey next to her didn��t see the string of letters clearly. Seeing how ugly the faces of several people were, she asked in a low voice:


    ��What was lost?��


    Luo An rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice


    "Three anti-tank missiles were lost." FGM-148, also known as "Javelin", is a man-portable anti-tank missile developed by the federal government.


    ? It is the world��s first portable anti-tank missile using focal plane array technology. It has a long range and precise strike, and can effectively strike against enemy armored targets.


    The operation is brainless and very simple, just like a prop in a video game. After debugging, it only requires two steps: aim and fire.


    ��Happy gift crab!��


    Hearing Roan''s words, Lacey also took a breath. She looked at Elliot hurriedly and asked:


    ��Don��t you have surveillance here?��


    ��There is surveillance, but it has been turned off by intruders.��


    Elliot''s face was extremely ugly. He knew about Pitdo Olson. Although the other party was dead now, the idea of ??killing him still came to his mind.


    As the person in charge of this temporary warehouse, the loss of three anti-tank missiles is enough for Elliott to drink a pot. If the intruder succeeds in killing a bunch of people with these three anti-tank missiles, then he...


    ?Thinking of this, Elliot grabbed Luo An''s hand. The expression on his face was extremely sincere and his tone was extremely sincere. He hoped that Luo An would catch this group of people.


    ��O��K.��


    Luo An twitched the corner of his mouth, pulled his hand out of the other party''s hand, and then asked:


    ��Military warehouses generally have surveillance backups. I need you to bring up the surveillance before this group of people broke into the warehouse and shut down the surveillance. Maybe there will be some clues in it.��


    ��OK, no problem.��


    Elliot nodded and immediately led Luo An and the other four to the control room.


    At five o''clock in the afternoon, Luo An and others returned to the special investigation team with surveillance cameras. While Mona was sorting out the surveillance cameras, Luo An stood in front of the whiteboard with a folder and summarized the information obtained so far on the case.


    ��Last night at 11 o��clock, Peter Olsen had a fight with Nat Norris at the door of the bar, and then a van drove over and a group of people got out and took him away quickly.��


    Roan posted the photo of Pitdo Olsen in the center of the whiteboard and said while summarizing the information:


    "The gang drove Pitto Olson into the suspended lumber factory, tortured him severely, and asked Pitto Olson for the password to the warehouse, and possibly the layout and feedback of the warehouse. The exact location of the tank missiles.��


    ? Lacey walked up to Luo An, posted the photo of FGM-148 on the whiteboard, and added:


    ��Then this group of people broke into the warehouse this afternoon, killed the sentry, turned off the surveillance, grabbed a pile of weapons and ammunition and three anti-tank missiles, and finally drove away and disappeared.��


    ��That��s right.��


    Roan wrote the last line on the whiteboard, threw the whiteboard pen aside, looked back at Winslow, Chenelle, Michelle and Lacey and said:


    ��This group of people were very courageous to dare to rob a military warehouse, and the actions of the other party throughout the case are enough to show that they are well-trained and skilled, and they are most likely to have a military background.


    Our next goal is to seize the time to find this group of people, or find out the reason why this group of people robbed the anti-tank missiles, and try not to let these three anti-tank missiles explode. "


    ?Winslow and Chenier nodded repeatedly. They knew how powerful anti-tank missiles were. It was no exaggeration to say that three anti-tank missiles were enough to flatten a street.


    Luo An looked at Michelle and asked:


    ��How is it going at the Trace Inspection Department?��


    ?Michelle quickly walked to the landline phone and said:


    ��I don��t know, I��ll call and ask.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An signaled that Michelle was in an urgent situation and could do some trace testing. Then he looked at Mona and asked:


    ��Are there any clues from monitoring here?��


    ??Mona nodded heavily, leaned back to make way for her position, pointed at the computer and said:


    "have."


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 406： surveillance, clues, suspects

    Chapter 406 Surveillance, clues, suspects


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ??Mona''s computer is playing the synchronized backup of the warehouse surveillance system, showing the scene before the group broke into the warehouse.


    ?? I saw a black MPV driving quickly from a distance and parked in front of the warehouse gate. Upon seeing this, the two sentries immediately took out their weapons and asked each other''s identity.


    After the sentry finished speaking, the back seat door and window of the MPV opened, and two rifles with silencers stretched out from inside, killing two sentries at the same time.


    Seeing the sentry fall to the ground, five guys in jeans and jackets, wearing black gloves and black hoods whose faces could not be seen, walked out of the MPV together.


    The leading guy walked straight to the warehouse door with a password lock, entered the password and easily opened the door. At the same time, the other two sentries also noticed the movement and came to check. The two hooded men behind the leading guy raised their guns and shot him dead. Two new sentries arrived.


    After the five people entered the warehouse area, the division of labor was clear. Three people went straight to the depths of the warehouse to find weapons, and two people went to the control room to handle monitoring.


    When the surveillance video did not show the scene of the weapon being snatched away, the surveillance video went dark. It is not difficult to guess that the two guys entered the surveillance room at this time and turned off the surveillance system.


    ��A group of guys who are well planned and organized.��


    After watching the surveillance video, Luo An straightened up, patted Mona on the shoulder and asked:


    ��Can you find the owner of this MPV?��


    ��It��s a pity that this group of people also stole this car.��


    Mona said that she had just checked the license plate of the car. The license plate was authentic. The owner was a female owner of a flower shop. However, the other party had called the police before the case, saying that her car was lost and she still paid for it. I got into a fight with the LAPD patrol officer.


    ��Congratulations to the flower shop owner, we found the car for her...but we don��t know where it is now.��


    Luo An said casually that there was nothing gained from the surveillance video. At least now they got the general situation of this group of people:


    Five people, well-proportioned, with heights between 175-180cm.


    At this moment, Michelle next to him suddenly raised his hand, covered the landline phone and said to Luo An:


    ��The Trace Inspection Section said they have found some clues, but the report has not been written yet. If you are in a hurry, you can go find them downstairs.��


    ��Good.��


    Roan nodded upon hearing this and motioned for Mona to continue investigating the traces of the MPV. Chenille, Winslow and Michelle assisted, and then walked out of the special investigation team with Lacey and walked into the elevator going downstairs.


    ����


    Trace Inspection Section.


    Amed, the agent of the Trace Inspection Section, is a white young man with long hair. He took the autopsy record written by the forensic doctor and introduced to Luo An and Lacey:


    ��The cause of Pitdo-Ossen��s death was this wound in his neck, through which his throat was cut and the blood poured in.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An was not surprised by this. He had guessed this when he saw the corpse in the lumber factory. His current goal was to find out the identity of the robbers, so he asked directly:


    ��Are there any clues in that van?��


    ��In that van, we only found the fingerprints of the original owner and his family.��


    ??Ahmed put the autopsy records aside, and while leading Luo An and Lacey to the office next to him, he said:


    ��But there is some fresh dust on the car floor mat, and the dust is mixed with a lot of fresh buttercup (gen four tone) chopped segments and barbecue seasoning sauce.


    ?? We checked and found that the only place that could have both items was a barbecue restaurant in South Los Angeles, and the guy driving the car had definitely been to that restaurant a short time before he kidnapped Pete Doolson. "


    Luo An��s expression did not change when he heard this, and Lacey then asked:


    ��Are there any other clues?��


    "And that toothpick." There were a lot of various instruments in the office. Ahmed picked up a transparent evidence bag, which contained the toothpick that Luo An found at the scene. Ahmed explained with a smile. :


    ��This toothpick must have been in someone��s mouth for a long time, and we found a bit of oral mucosa on it and got the other person��s DNA.


    There is no DNA sequence of this person in the FBI''s internal database, so we cannot directly find him through DNA.


    ?However, if you find the suspect, you can identify him through DNA testing. "


    When Lacey heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. Luo An also took the handwritten report outline from the other party with a smile and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you, thank you for your hard work.��


    "You''re welcome."


    ?Ahmed waved his hand, and then suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly picked up the autopsy record written by the medical examiner and added:


    ��By the way, the forensic doctor said that judging from the two wound marks on the leg of the deceased Pitdo Olsen, the torturer should have used a SOG-S37 military dagger.


    ?Furthermore, there were many marks on Pitdo-Ossen''s face that he had been beaten. Based on these marks, the forensic doctor determined that there was a problem with the finger bones of the attacker''s right hand, and he was most likely injured, and was partially dented compared to normal people. "


    ?Luo An nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. After thanking the other party again, he returned to the special investigation team with Lacey.


    ?Getting the address of the barbecue restaurant given by the Trace Inspection Section, Mona quickly called up the surveillance video of the barbecue restaurant.


    Then Mona turned back the time to the time before Pitdo Olson was kidnapped, that is, before 11:30 last night. Michelle, Lacey and Chenelle assisted, and soon discovered a Suspected white man.


    Half an hour before the incident, this guy was having dinner with a white woman who looked to be in her forties. While they were having a happy chat, the white man suddenly received a call. He held the phone and exchanged a few words. The white man said to the table The person opposite apologized, got up and left the restaurant.


    "This guy''s name is Kelly Hunter. He is 37 years old. The woman opposite is his cousin."


    Mona��s fingers were flying on the keyboard, and she quickly found out the identities of the two people:


    ��Kelly Hunter had served in the Union Army for a long time and fought on the battlefield outside the Union. Finally, he left the army due to conflicts with his superiors.


    ? Records show that Kelly-Hunter was an excellent shooter and served as a sniper or observer in many operations. "


    Looking at the photos and information of Kelly Hunter with her head held high in Mona��s computer, Luo An then asked:


    ��How is his financial situation? Has anything unusual happened recently?��


    ��Not recently, but Kelly-Hunt��s financial situation has never been normal.��


    Michelle next to her pulled up Kelly Hunter��s bank records and said:


    ��This guy has a used car worth several thousand dollars, no real estate, and hasn��t filed a tax return in four years.


    In the past four years, he has had no record of employment and his bank deposits have remained at around US$2,000.


    But he has always lived a good life. Although he is low-key, his daily behavior is not like that of a person with only 2,000 US dollars in savings. "


    ��Either Kelly-Hunter has a bank account that we don��t know about yet, or he gets cash every once in a while through ��work.��


    ?Luo An chuckled and expressed his guess, then patted Michelle on the shoulder and asked:


    ��Where is this guy now?��


    Michelle did not answer, but Mona next to her said:


    ��Surveillance surveillance shows that Kelly Hunter returned to his cousin��s house ten minutes ago and has not come out since then.��


    Roan looked at Mona, then at Michelle, a hint of speechlessness flashed in his eyes, then turned around and walked quickly to the equipment room, saying:


    ��Chanelle, Winslow, Lacey, let��s go and talk to Mr. Sniper about his tax evasion problem.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 407： Arrest, crashed into a trash can

    Chapter 407: Arrest, crashed into the trash can


    ??The black SUV was driving forward quickly on the streets of Los Angeles at night. Considering Kelly Hunter''s extraordinary skills, Luo An ordered a SWAT personnel carrier to follow closely behind the SUV in order to reduce the chance of an accident.


    ??This time it was not Roan who was driving, but Winslow. Lacey and Chenelle were sitting in the back seat of the car inspecting their equipment. Roan was sitting in the passenger seat while inspecting their equipment and was on the phone with Mona.


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone looked at the computer in front of her and said:


    ��I just compared the stature, walking posture, habitual movements, etc. of Kelly Hunter and the five guys who robbed the warehouse, and I can confirm that he is the driver responsible for driving the MPV.


    ??It was not the two guys who shot and killed the four sentries, it was the one who entered the surveillance room and turned off the surveillance system for one of the two men. "


    ��Well done.��


    Luo An thought for a while and then asked:


    ��Have you checked Kelly Hunter��s personal relationship? Can you find the remaining four people through this method?��


    ��Sorry, I can��t find it.��


    ??Mona spread her hands in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team and said that the call to Kelly Hunter in the restaurant surveillance video was from a public phone on the streets of Los Angeles. There was no surveillance there and she didn''t know who the caller was.


    Because he doesn��t want to pay taxes, Kelly Hunter keeps a very low profile. The interpersonal relationships that can be found are clear at a glance. He basically has no friends. The people around him are all related to his cousin Leona.


    Hearing this, Luo An didn''t say anything more. He briefly chatted with Mona and hung up the phone.


    ??The next goal is to capture Kelly Hunter back to the Special Investigation Team first. As long as we find a way to get him to talk, we will have a chance to know what this case is about.


    Twenty minutes later, the SUV and the troop carrier arrived at the community where Kelly Hunter''s cousin, Leona, lived.


    ??Mona had checked Leona''s personal information before. She worked as a manager of a turf company in Los Angeles. She was in good financial condition and did not own real estate. She rented the small two-story apartment where she lived.


    ??A few dozen meters away from the apartment, a SWAT team member looked through a telescope to remotely confirm that everything was normal in the apartment. After receiving the news, Luo An immediately decided to split up with Winslow.


    Roan and Chenier teamed up, and followed several SWAT team members to raid from the front door. Winslow and Lacey teamed up, followed several SWAT team members and went straight to the back door of the apartment. At the same time, they also sealed off the surrounding area of ??the apartment to prevent the target person Kelly - Hunter escapes.


    After the plan was designated, all parties checked the equipment again, and after confirming that there were no problems, Luo An pressed the communicator and whispered:


    "start to act!"


    Boom��


    As soon as the words fell, several SWAT team members rushed towards the apartment. The leading SWAT team member slammed the door with a breaking hammer and easily opened the door of the apartment in an instant.


    ��FBI!��


    "do not move!"


    ��Go upstairs, go upstairs!��


    The moment the door was opened, several SWAT team members behind him quickly rushed into the apartment. While shouting slogans, they quickly checked each house. After finding that no one was in the living room, kitchen, storage room, etc. on the first floor, they immediately went to the second floor of the apartment. Lou rushed over, followed closely by Luo An and others.


    Snapped-


    The SWAT team members headed by them had just reached the second floor. When Luo An and Cheniel were still on the stairs behind them, there was a sudden sound of glass breaking on the second floor, and then the shouts of the SWAT team members suddenly sounded outside the apartment. :


    "He''s here!"


    ��Dodge! Dodge! The opponent has a gun in his hand!��


    boom! boom! boom!


    Hearing the noise coming from outside the apartment, Luo An frowned slightly, leaned on the stair railing with his right hand, turned his body, and quickly jumped to the first floor. Then, under the shocked gazes of Chenille and several SWAT team members, Luo An disappeared from the spot instantly and rushed out of the apartment like a cheetah.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ?? Cheniel was stunned for a moment and cursed in a low voice. She quickly turned around and ran down the stairs in a few steps, followed by Luo An and ran out of the apartment.


    ?At the same time, Lacey and a SWAT team member had walked into the apartment through the back door. Only Winslow and three SWAT team members were responsible for the blockade outside the apartment.


    Seeing Kelly Hunter suddenly jumping out from the second floor, the four Winslows subconsciously wanted to pull the trigger. However, when Kelly Hunter jumped out from the second floor, he first headed towards where Winslow and others were. Several shots were fired from his position, and Winslow and others had to turn around and dodge, preparing to fight back when Kelly Hunter landed on the ground and escaped.


    �O


    The moment he landed, Kelly-Hunter took advantage of the situation and rolled forward. Upon seeing this, Winslow raised his gun and shot without hesitation. The bullet successfully hit Kelly-Hunter''s shoulder.


    Kelly Hunter''s reaction speed was also very fast. The moment he was shot, he had already finished rolling and was about to get up and escape. Then without thinking, he raised his pistol and aimed at Winslow''s location.


    He was about to pull the trigger and force Winslow back behind the barrier. Kelly Hunter bet that Winslow valued his life more and bought himself time to escape.


    ??But what Kelly-Hunt didn��t expect was that Winslow had no intention of evading, but raised his pistol almost at the same time as Kelly-Hunt. At that moment, the two men��s guns were aimed at each other.


    Kelly Hunter felt cold in his heart and was about to pull the trigger without hesitation. But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards him with the sound of howling wind.


    ??The startled Kellyll-Hunter subconsciously turned his head, and the right hand holding the gun tilted slightly. The muzzle of the gun originally aimed at Winslow couldn''t help but tilted a bit, and the path of the bullet was also deflected a lot.


    ?Winslow took advantage of the situation and crouched down to fire, successfully hitting Kellyll Hunter''s right hand holding the gun.


    But what really made Kelly Hunter lose his resistance was not the bullet, but the black figure.


    ?Kelly Hunter just saw the black shadow in the corner of his eye, and before he could react, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from his waist.


    There was a sharp pain in the right hand that was hit by the bullet. Before he could say anything, Kelly Hunter''s whole body was like a rag doll under the huge force. He flew out uncontrollably and hit the back of the apartment. on the trash can.


    �O


    ?The trash can tipped forward in an instant, and all the garbage inside was scattered on Kelly Hunter.


    Grabbing the garbage on his face and throwing it aside, Kelly Hunter cursed with anger on his face. Just as his vision returned to normal, he suddenly saw a pair of big feet kicking towards his head. Before he could finish swearing, his eyes flashed like this. Fainted.


    Luo An rushed out of the apartment like lightning, kicked Kelly Hunter away, walked to the trash can, and kicked Kelly Hunter unconscious. Chenelle was stunned and swallowed slowly. Spit, she gained some new understanding of her team leader''s skills.


    Winslow''s eyes widened a bit. He had seen Luo An''s speed in the previous case, but it was too dark at the time to see clearly.


    ?Now seeing Luo An''s movements, Winslow found that he still underestimated him. A simple comparison, Winslow found that his speed and strength were the same, and maybe, maybe, or probably still couldn''t compare to Luo An.


    ??Taking out the handcuffs to control Kellyll Hunter, Roan patted Winslow on the shoulder who was a little doubtful as to why he came to the Special Investigation Team, handed Kellylle Hunter to him and Chenelle, and said:


    ��Call an ambulance and take this guy to the hospital to stop the bleeding. You two will monitor him tonight and bring him back to the special investigation team tomorrow.��


    ��OK.��


    "no problem."


    Winslow and Chenelle nodded in agreement, and Roan was about to continue talking. Lacey suddenly walked out of the apartment, walked towards Roan and the others with a strange expression, and whispered:


    ��Roan, I found something related to Kelly Hunter.��

 Chapter 408： Interrogation, siblings’ children

    Chapter 408: Interrogation, siblings�� children


    At 8 a.m. the next day, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    Winslow and Chenelle were escorting Kelly Hunter from the hospital to the special investigation team. Lacey and Michelle were taking Kellyll Hunt''s cousin Leona from Her family rushed the Special Investigations Unit.


    After hearing what Lacey said last night, Luo An followed her into the apartment again. Only then did Luo An have time to carefully observe the interior layout of the apartment, and found that the overall feeling was very warm, and he felt like home.


    Kelly Hunter''s cousin Leona was standing in the bedroom on the second floor of the apartment, yelling at several SWAT members in the room.


    Lacey took Luo An into the bathroom of the bedroom and opened the ceiling above the bathroom. There was a black suitcase in the hidden compartment. When she opened it, it was filled with one dollar, five dollars, ten dollars and twenty dollars. old bills, adding up to less than $30,000.


    ? It is not difficult to guess that the money is the harvest obtained by Kelly Hunter after completing his work, as well as his daily expenses.


    ? Lacey closed the suitcase and said that it was impossible for Kelly Hunter to get just this small amount from one thing. There must be other funds hidden.


    ??Roan agreed with Lacey, but didn''t say much because his attention was on another thing:


    There are many cosmetics for pregnant women in the bathroom, as well as many boxes of folic acid, which all indicate that Kelly Hunter''s cousin Leona is pregnant.


    However, according to the information that Michelle had found before, Leona had not dated a boyfriend recently, and her daily life was simple, mostly at home, work, and supermarkets. She had not been to bars, nightclubs, etc. Entertainment venues��


    ��Luo An, I found it.��


    Just as Luan was sitting in Lacey''s seat in the office area, looking down at the file records of Kelly Hunter since her birth, Mona next to her suddenly reached out and patted his arm and said:


    ��Four months ago, accompanied by Kelly Hunter, I went to a hospital in Los Angeles to do some gynecological examinations, fetal heart rate and other tests that pregnant women need.


    I can��t find out what the specific results were, but the surveillance records in the hospital corridor showed that Kelly Hunter and Leona were very happy..."


    ??The computer in front of Mona is playing the surveillance footage from the hospital corridor that day:


    Kelly Hunter and Leona walked out of the doctor''s office with faces full of joy. Kelly Hunter kissed Leona for a moment, then squatted down and put her ear to Leona''s lower abdomen. Leona was After a few gentle blows on the shoulder, Kellyll Hunter slowly left the hospital with Leona in his arms.


    "So...the child in Leona''s belly is Kelly Hunter''s."


    After watching the surveillance, Luo An scratched his head with a strange expression. Mona next to him shrugged and said:


    ��I just did some careful research and found out that the parents of Leona and Kelly Hunter are the third generation of the Hunter family, and they are the fourth generation of the Hunter family.


    Although the two are siblings, they are not considered to be married by consanguineous relatives. "


    ��OK.��


    Luo An nodded. When he checked Kelly Hunter''s file just now, it showed that when Kelly was a child, his parents went to heaven due to a car accident and stayed at Leona''s mother''s house for the next ten years. It seems normal to develop feelings over time.


    ?At this moment, Winslow and Chenelle escorted Kelly Hunter to the special investigation team. Upon seeing this, Luo An stopped thinking about the fifth generation of the Hunter family and immediately stood up and walked into the interrogation room.


    In the interrogation room, Kelly Hunter, who had some bandages wrapped around his shoulder and right hand, and whose left hand was tightly handcuffed to the interrogation table, sat in a chair and said nothing.


    No matter what Roan and Chenelle asked, even if they talked about the child in Leona''s belly, he remained silent and remained silent. At most, when he was tired from sitting, he would move a little to change his position.


    Half an hour later, the two of them found nothing and walked out of the interrogation room. Luo An threw the notebook on the table, cursed in a low voice, then picked up the teacup and drank.


    Chenier''s face was also ugly. As far as interrogation work is concerned, she is not afraid of being scolded, swearing, or spitting sweet things by the interrogator, but she is afraid that the interrogator will not say a word.


    ??If it is an ordinary case, you can also find a psychologist to slowly grind it out with the suspect, and get the other person to talk bit by bit.


    But now there are three anti-tank missiles missing in this case, and the special investigation team is really not suitable to use this method that takes a long time.


    Fortunately, it didn''t take long for Lacey and Michelle to arrive at the Special Investigation Team together with Leona.


    Considering that Leona was currently pregnant and she was not the main suspect in this case, Luo An did not let Lacey and Michelle put her in the interrogation room, but took her into the spacious room next to her. In the bright conference room, he also brought a carton of milk to Leona on Lacey''s desk. Lacey: ������


    In the conference room, Luo An sat opposite Leona, and Chenelle sat next to Leona.


    Pregnant women are emotionally sensitive and easily agitated. Sitting next to Leona, who is also a woman, can quickly reduce Leona��s discomfort in a new environment. She can also give Leona some comfort and quickly build a closer relationship with Leona. .


    So the next interrogation was mainly conducted by Chenier, and Luo An was more responsible for recording and prompting.


    ��Good morning, Ms. Leona.��


    Chenelle slowly pushed the cup with milk in front of Leona, briefly introduced the situation of the case, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Do you know any clues about this matter?��


    ����


    Leona kept tapping the glass of milk with her right hand but did not drink it. After a few seconds of silence, she asked:


    ��I wonder how Kelly is doing now?��


    Chenelle helped Leona pick up the glass of milk and replied:


    ��He is now in jail and will face a felony charge of first-degree murder. He will probably stay in jail for the rest of his life.��


    Hearing this, Leona rubbed the cup and said with a complicated expression:


    ��He doesn��t talk, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Chenelle nodded and then said:


    ��But if you cooperate with us, we can help him.��


    ����


    A long silence again.


    ??Roanne and Chenelle were not in a hurry this time, because Leona''s hands were rubbing the milk glass more and more, and the changes in her eyes were gradually increasing. It was not difficult to see that she was struggling with how to choose.


    As time passed, Luo An thought for a while, wrote a child''s word on the paper, and showed it to Chenelle from a position where Leona couldn''t see it.


    Chenelle immediately understood what Roan meant when she saw this, and began to chat with Leona about pregnancy, children, and the difficulties they would encounter during the two processes.


    Finally, Leona sighed and whispered:


    ��Kelly has always been like this since he was a child. When he does something wrong, he would rather choose to be beaten and bear everything than say anything to apologize.��


    ��But this time he made a little too big of a mistake.��


    Hearing this, Chenier whispered:


    ��In the Federation, it is difficult for a woman to raise a child alone, and the child��s growth cannot be separated from the father, isn��t it?��


    "You''re right."


    ?Leona nodded heavily, picked up the milk and took a sip, then said in a deep voice:


    ��I know something and I can tell you all about it, but I have one condition.��


    Chenier frowned slightly, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and asked:


    ��What conditions?��


    Chenelle thought that Leona was going to offer to reduce the sentence of Kelly Hunter, or other similar conditions, but unexpectedly, Leona put the milk glass heavily on the table and said coldly:


    ��I��m going to slap Kellyll!��

 Chapter 409： Poison?

    Chapter 409 Poison?


    Special Investigation Team, conference room.


    ?Hearing Leona''s request, Cheniel was a little confused and speechless, but she did not have this authority, so she turned her attention to Luo An.


    Luo An thought for a while, nodded, and said:


    "Okay, after we confirm that the clues you mentioned are correct, you can meet with Kelly, but we will be by your side during the meeting."


    ��Don��t worry, I don��t want to send any message to Kelly, I just want to give him a slap in the face.��


    Leona understood what Luo An was worried about. She snorted softly and picked up the milk glass again and took a sip. After thinking about it, she said:


    ��Kelly has a friend named Alex. He and Kelly used to be in the army. They have a good relationship. They have been working for the same boss.��


    Leona didn��t know who the boss was. Every time she contacted Kelly, it was Alex. Once she received a call from Alex, Kelly would lose contact for a few days and then come back with some money.


    ��I have this picture of Alex on my phone.��


    ??Leona handed her mobile phone to Roan and said that she had found someone to secretly investigate Alex in the past because she was worried about Kelly.


    ??But the private detective she found was not good enough. Except for Alex''s own photos and temporary residence, he found no other information, which was a waste of her money.


    ��OK.��


    ??Taking Leona''s cell phone, Roan motioned for Chenier to continue asking, and he quickly left the conference room and handed the cell phone to Mona, asking her to investigate Alex.


    There was a crackling sound on the keyboard, and Mona quickly found the other party��s message:


    ��Alex Crow, 38 years old, served in the same team as Kelly Hunter for a period of time. He retired from the army and returned to the Federation before Kelly Hunter.


    ??FBI internal database shows that not long after this guy returned to the federation, he went to prison for a period of further training for crimes such as theft, robbery, and violent robbery.


    ??After Alex was released from prison, he was suspected of joining an illegal arms trafficking criminal organization called "Purple Poppy".


    ?This criminal organization is not big, just a few people, they act covertly, and no key evidence has been found to deal with them. "


    ��Now there is evidence.��


    Roan looked at Alex��s current address on the computer, patted Mona on the shoulder with satisfaction, then turned to the others and ordered:


    ��Lacey, Winslow, and you two are working with the SWAT team to bring Mr. Alex back. They are most likely responsible for this case.��


    "no problem!"


    ��Let��s go.��


    Lacie and Winslow nodded, immediately entered the equipment room, took weapons and left the special investigation team.


    Roan signaled Michelle and Mona to pay attention to the remote cooperation, then returned to the conference room and continued to question Leona with Cheniel.


    Leona doesn''t know many things, but she knows a lot. She said that she grew up with Kelly Hunter. Kelly Hunter''s little moves can''t be hidden from her as her sister. She just pretends to be stupid a lot of the time. Too lazy to expose Kellyll Hunter.


    As for the relationship between Kelly Hunter and Leona''s brother-sister + husband and wife, Luo An, who was behind in the version, briefly thought about it and threw it behind him.


    ??In a country like the Commonwealth, where one in seven people is infected with syphilis and one in three people has smoked tobacco, this matter is nothing at all, and reporters are not in the mood to pay attention to it.


    Leona finished narrating all the information she knew. Chenelle stayed in the conference room to accompany her. Roan walked to the office area and started to check how Winslow''s operation was going.


    Then Luo An heard what Lacey asked on the phone:


    ��Luo An, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?��


    Luo An thought for a while and replied:


    ��Which one do you choose, working overtime tonight or not working overtime tonight?��


    ������ Lacey on the other end of the phone was slightly startled when she heard this, muttered a few words in a low voice, and then said:


    ��The good news is that Winslow and I found not only Alex himself but three other people at Alex��s house.


    ?One of them had a problem with the knuckles on his right hand and it was a little dented. He should be the guy who tortured and interrogated Pitdo Olson.


    ??Coupled with Kelly Hunter, who was captured by us last night, we can basically confirm that Alex and these three people are the guys who robbed the temporary warehouse and kidnapped the naval officer Pitdo Olson. "


    ? Luo An didn��t feel happy when he heard this, because Lacey said before that there was bad news.


    As expected, Lacey continued:


    ��But unfortunately, all four of them are now dead in Alex��s living room.��


    ��Fu-k.��


    Luo An cursed in a low voice, rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and asked:


    ��What��s the cause of death?��


    ��There were no signs of being shot or other injuries among the four Alexis.��


    After Luo An��s question ended, Lacey��s voice on the other end of the phone disappeared and was replaced by Winslow. He analyzed:


    ��But the four Alexis�� limbs are stiff, their faces are distorted, and there are still several glasses of unfinished wine on the table. I suspect that they have been poisoned.��


    Winslow stood in the house where Alex lived, looking at the four corpses in front of him, guessing that there should be another person in the room at the time of the crime. This person drank with Alex and the four of them, and chatted briefly. The last person left first.


    ??This person either didn''t drink the glass of wine, or took the antidote in advance, or drank the wine and immediately had his stomach washed. In short, this person was not dead. He deceived Alex and killed four people, and finally left the scene easily.


    Winslow said a lot, and finally analyzed and concluded:


    ��This person should be the one who paid to buy the three anti-tank missiles from Alex and the others.


    He did this either because he didn��t want to pay for the crime, or because he wanted to kill Alex and others to silence them and erase his own traces. "


    ��The two possibilities you mentioned are probably the plans of the mastermind behind the scenes.��


    ? Luo An sat down on Lacey��s seat, rubbing his temples and said:


    ��People like Alex have always been very secretive, and they only have some ordinary weapons in their hands, and there is no such thing as anti-tank missiles.


    ??It should be that the person behind the scenes paid too much this time, which aroused the greed of Alex and others, so they chose to attack the warehouse and take a desperate risk. "


    Winslow fell silent after hearing this. Luo An��s analysis made sense. If you think about it from his perspective, there were too many benefits for the mastermind behind killing Alex and others. After all, only the dead keep secrets.


    ��Let��s call the Trace Inspection Department to go to the scene later.��


    Luo An thought for a while and finally said:


    ��You two are now going to investigate whether there is surveillance in the area where Alex lives. You may be able to find clues.��


    ��OK.��


    Winslow agreed and hung up the phone. Luo An turned to look at Mona next to him and said:


    ��Mona, please investigate the surveillance of the area before and after we went to arrest Kelly Hunter last night.��


    Mona, who had been sitting nearby and listening, quickly reacted and said suddenly:


    ��You mean, the man behind the four deaths of Alex also went to find Kelly Hunter last night, wanting to kill him and silence him.


    But because we caught Kelly Hunt early, he didn��t succeed. "


    ��There is a possibility.��


    Luo An nodded, thought for a moment, stood up and pulled Michelle towards the interrogation room again. This time, with the news that Alex and the other four had been silenced by the people behind the scenes, he believed that Kelly Hunter would say something. of.

 Chapter 410： Broker who buys anti-tank missiles

    Chapter 410 The broker who purchased anti-tank missiles


    ??This is Roan��s second interrogation of Kelly-Hunt.


    ??It was a little different from the last interrogation. Before this interrogation, under the supervision of Chenille, Michelle and Roan, Leona and Kelly Hunter met briefly in the holding room.


    Seeing Leona, Kelly Hunter''s eyes lit up instantly, and she hurriedly walked to the iron bars of the holding room to say something. As a result, Leona directly put her hand into the iron bars, and hit Kelly Hunter hard. He slapped his face, and finally turned around and left with a cold snort.


    Special Investigation Team, interrogation room.


    ??Kelly Hunter, who had been slapped, was breathing rapidly and his face was extremely ugly. Luo An, who was sitting opposite him, glanced at Michelle who was ready and said softly:


    ��I have bad news for you, Kelly Hunter. Your good brother Alex and several others were all killed.��


    Kelly Hunter suddenly raised his head after hearing this, his eyes filled with shock, but the shock quickly disappeared and was replaced by deep distrust. He suspected that the FBI was lying to him.


    Roan didn''t waste any time when he saw this. He directly picked up the photo taken by Lacey and Winslow of four people dead at the crime scene and slowly pushed it to Kelly Hunter''s eyes.


    ����


    Seeing the scene in the photo, Kelly Hunter''s eyes darkened, and he raised his hands to cover his eyes with a look of pain on his face.


    ��You should be grateful that we caught you, Kelly.��


    ?Luo An leaned back tactically, crossed his legs, and said:


    "If we hadn''t caught you first last night and the guy who killed Alex and others, I''m afraid he would have attacked you and your sister last night. I believe the other party must be ten times crueler than us. What do you think? ?��


    ?Kelly-Hunter was silent for a long time, and finally cursed through gritted teeth:


    ��sonofbetter than eating!��


    Roan did not expect that the first words Kelly Hunter said were curses, but he did not care about this. It was a good thing to be able to speak. Roan continued:


    ��There is good news for you, that is, the whereabouts of the three anti-tank missiles are still unknown.


    I believe you must know who the guy who killed Alex and others is, right? "


    Kelly Hunter was silent for a few seconds after hearing this. He looked at Luo An with red eyes and said coldly:


    ��I want a pardon.��


    ��You know this is impossible.��


    ? ? Kelly did not shoot and kill anyone in this case, but he participated in the entire process of kidnapping and robbing the arms warehouse, so Luo An said:


    "But if you are willing to hand over useful information related to this case, I can help you apply for a plea agreement."


    The Federation is a free and democratic country, and a plea agreement plays an important role in federal law. It refers to an agreement reached between the defendant and the prosecutor when facing criminal charges. By admitting the crime, he can obtain a series of benefits, such as reduced sentences and suspended sentences. , exemption from prosecution or reduced criminal liability penalties, etc.


    ��OK.��


    ?Kelly-Hunt thought for a long time, agreed, and then began to tell what he knew, saying:


    ��The guy who bought these anti-tank missiles calls himself Tom.��


    ??Luo An said while taking back the photo:


    ��It sounds like a fake name at first sight.��


    ��Yes, we think so too.��


    Kelly-Hunt said that among them there was a man named "Kim", who was the boss and one of the four deceased in the photo.


    Under the leadership of Jin, their small organization has been doing acquaintance business, and Tom is a new customer introduced by an acquaintance.


    Out of caution, Jin investigated this "Tom" and finally found out what Kelier and others didn''t know. Jin didn''t go into details, but just told them that the other party''s identity was no problem and that this was more than just business.


    The trust they have cultivated over the years has led Kelly-Hunter and others to believe Jin''s words, but now that Kelly thinks about it, Jin may have been aroused by the high price offered by the other party, and selectively ignored the risks involved. As a result, he and himself were ruined. The lives of Alex and several others.


    After listening to Kelly Hunter��s words, Luo An asked:


    ��Where did you trade the anti-tank missiles with that Tom? How did you trade them?��


    "I have no idea."


    Kelly Hunter shrugged his shoulders and said that he was responsible for driving and handling most of the time. Jin and Alex were always responsible for the transaction, and he never asked about the details. Luo An''s expression did not change after hearing this, and then asked:


    ��You��ve seen that Tom, right? Can you describe what he looks like?��


    "Can."


    ?Kelly-Hunter nodded to indicate that he had no problem, and then told the location of the warehouse where their small organization stored weapons and other information.


    More than two hours later, the simulation artist made a portrait of "Tom" based on Kelly Hunter''s description. Luo An took the portrait and directly asked Michelle to enter it into the computer and compare it with the FBI''s internal database. right.


    Soon, Michelle and Mona found out each other��s identities:


    ��Tom Torres, 40 years old, was a member of a certain unit of the federal army. When he quit the army and returned to the federation, he was imprisoned for multiple injuries due to post-war syndrome and PTSD.


    ?After being released from prison, Tom Torres became a broker and middleman traveling in the black and white world, living by earning commissions. "


    Cheniel was a little surprised when she saw this:


    ��It��s really called Tom?��


    ��Tom Torres is a broker, and he should not be the person behind the purchase of anti-tank missiles.��


    ?Luo An rubbed his temples, feeling that this case was like a matryoshka doll, layered inside one layer after another. The man behind the scenes was really cautious.


    Chenelle analyzed Luo An��s words:


    ��A broker��s goal is to make money, and killing someone is a bad thing for a broker��unless he has to do it.��


    ��For example, if someone threatens or forces him.��


    Roan then looked at Michelle and Mona and asked:


    ��Can you check the recent situation of Tom Torres?��


    ��Sorry, can��t find it.��


    ? Seeing Michelle shaking her head, Roan turned his attention to Mona. Mona put her hands on the keyboard and started typing, then suddenly stopped and said:


    ��The DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) has a record showing that the second-in-command of a large independence cartel in a certain South American country, a guy named Bebeto Holguet Vita, infiltrated the federation a few days ago.


    ?Tom Torres met the second-in-command a few days ago, and has been missing since then, until yesterday when he appeared in the case at Alex''s house. "


    Bebeto Holguy Vita is a guy with obvious mixed race characteristics and many tattoos on his body. Records in the DEA show that one of the characteristics of this person is that he likes to take advantage of other people''s weaknesses and threaten them to do things for him. .


    If things are done well, Vita is very trustworthy and will not only let people go, but also give them some monetary rewards.


    But things didn��t work out, and Vita was more concerned with credibility and would never allow anyone to survive until the next day.


    ��The second-in-command of the independence trafficking group... fits the characteristics of the mastermind behind the scenes, but I don��t know what he is doing by threatening Tom Torres to help him get anti-tank missiles this time.��


    Luo An asked about the guy in Mona��s computer who had obvious mixed-race features and many tattoos on his body:


    ��Has anyone in this independence trafficking group been arrested by the DEA or other law enforcement agencies?��


    ?Hunter leaders like Bebeto Holguet Vita would normally not infiltrate the Federation at the risk of being jailed.


    Unless there is a reason to do so, such as eliminating traitors.


    ?Mona shook her head and said:


    ��I didn��t find anyone from this independence-trafficking group was arrested, but I found out another thing.��

    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    Hearing Mona��s words, Roan, Chenier and Michelle both came to her side, and Roan also asked:


    "What''s up?"


    ��The boss of this pro-independence group is very financially savvy. After he made a lot of money through pro-independence trafficking, he invested money all over the world and made money by doing legitimate business.��


    ??Mona called up an investigation report jointly issued by the federal Ministry of Finance and the DEA. This report includes the specific investment status of major South American tycoons, as well as moths and other people in some South American countries, in the federal territory.


    ? This report shows that the boss of the independence trafficking group above Vita has invested a total of nearly 200 million US dollars in the federal territory, of which 100 million is in the stock market.


    Some time ago, a listed company in California that the top boss of Vita invested heavily in was suddenly accused of falsifying its accounts. It went bankrupt soon after, and its stock price plummeted.


    �� According to the investigation afterwards, the president of that company used some financial tricks and was sent to jail. However, the money he earned has become legal and his own through some means.


    ??The CEO is in jail, but his wife and son are in peace and contentment. He is still a rich man and can live a happy life outside.


    ��It��s not so easy to get money from an independent tycoon.��


    Looking at the white CEO with a slicked back hair in the photo, Luo An grinned and said:


    ��If you want to kidnap the mother and son for money, you don��t need anti-tank missiles. Once those things are launched, the entire villa will be reduced to rubble, and nothing will be left of the mother and son.


    So, which prison is that company president in now? Are there any other situations? "


    ??Mona quickly called up the prisoner records within the Ministry of Justice and replied:


    ��At three o��clock this afternoon, the company president and several other prisoners for economic crimes will be transferred from the Los Angeles Temporary Prison to the Zhouli Prison in California.


    The entire process will be guarded by five cars, filled with security guards from the Ministry of Justice. "


    ��So, the goal of Vita and others is this car.��


    ?Luo An picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He looked up at the clock in front of the office area and found that the time had reached 2:21 pm.


    He lowered his head and carefully observed the route map of the vehicle that the Ministry of Justice expected to transfer prisoners this afternoon. Luo An found that there were two locations suitable for ambush and use of anti-tank missiles to bomb the vehicle. He threw the pen aside, pointed at the map and said:


    ��Mona, contact the judicial police leaders at the Ministry of Justice to transport prisoners and ask them to cancel the original plan at three o��clock in the afternoon. It is best to get a few fake cars to cooperate with the operation.


    ?Also, call Winslow and Lacey and ask them to go to location 1 on the map immediately.


    The special investigation team will stay behind and pay attention to the surveillance near the two locations. If you find anything, please contact us immediately.


    ? Chenier, call SWAT and ask them to immediately send several action teams to locations 1 and 2. You and I will go to location 2 later.


    Michelle, the special investigation team behind you, cooperates with Mona for observation and surveillance.


    In addition, after we leave, you log into the FBI internal network, contact the Federal Criminal Information Center, Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security, LAPD, DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) and other major law enforcement agencies, and report Bebeto Holgue- Vita''s personal information was communicated to them. "


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    Chenelle, Mona and Michelle nodded in unison, but Michelle was a little confused about the last order.


    ??Since we have identified the location where Vita may attack and are ready to capture the opponent, why do we need to issue a nationwide notice of Bebeto Holgai Vita''s personal information?


    Regarding Michelle��s doubts, Luo An chuckled and did not answer directly. He just patted her on the shoulder and whispered:


    ��During the exam, not only must you answer the questions correctly, but the sound of turning the papers must also be loud enough.��


    Seeing Luo An quickly leaving the special investigation team, Michelle thought quickly and suddenly understood what he meant. This time the suspect had an anti-tank missile in his hand. The louder the sound, the bigger the case. The credit will be greater. Luo An left the special investigation team and did not immediately go downstairs and drive to location No. 2. Instead, he turned around and took the elevator to the team leader''s office.


    ??The leader of the special investigation team only has the authority to cooperate, contact, and exchange information and clues with other law enforcement agencies. He does not have the authority to order other law enforcement agencies. Such matters still require the team leader to contact and coordinate.


    ??In addition, Luo An had no way to guarantee that this operation would be a success. If something went wrong, someone would need to be able to tell the truth, so he approached the team leader Potente Byrne.


    After all, as long as the investigation team below successfully solves the case, the team leader will get a share of the credit. If it fails, the team leader cannot escape the blame.


    As expected, after listening to Luo An��s description of the case and hearing that the other party had three anti-tank missiles, team leader Potente Byrne couldn��t sit still for an instant.


    ??While quickly getting up and contacting the leaders of the Ministry of Justice who were responsible for operating the criminal police, Potente-Byrne repeatedly emphasized to Luo An that this operation must be done with caution.


    Anti-tank missiles are not gadgets. They are used to attack tanks and armored vehicles. If humans are blown up by them, it will be good if they can find debris.


    ��OK.��


    Roan nodded to Potente-Byrne with a serious face, and then quickly turned around and went downstairs with Chenelle.


    ??The president of that company and other criminals who need to go to jail for economic crimes have recently been held in a temporary holding cell in a Los Angeles courthouse.


    The route planned by the Marshals to transfer prisoners this time was very simple. They left directly from the back door of the court, turned around a few streets and turned onto the highway, left downtown Los Angeles through the highway, and drove straight to the California Prison in the distance.


    Luo An thought about it from his perspective. The best place to start on the entire route was the streets behind the courthouse.


    ?The traffic jam there is very serious on weekdays. It takes the bailiffs half an hour to leave, which is considered fast. During this period, it is not easy to use anti-tank missiles to blow up the cars transporting prisoners.


    The No. 1 and No. 2 locations designated by Luo An are the two central points of these streets.


    ??The dark SUV sped through the streets of Los Angeles as fast as lightning, and finally arrived at the outskirts of the area around 2:50.


    As expected, the SUV could not enter those streets due to traffic jams, so Luo An and Cheniel left the SUV and quickly walked to those streets.


    When the two of them arrived at the designated place, Potente Byrne''s voice came from the communicator on Luo An''s chest:


    ��Luo An, air support will take five minutes and will be here soon.��


    It is a good thing to have air support, but Luo An and Chenier are not in the mood to deal with this matter now, because in the street not far away, a prison van transporting prisoners is currently blocked in the middle of the road, and there are several prisoners inside. A prisoner wearing prison uniform is not a fake car at all.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??Luo An cursed in a low voice, and hurriedly ran to the prison car with Cheniel. He took out his golden badge to show his identity and asked:


    ��What��s going on with this car?��


    The black bailiff headed by the police said that after receiving the notice from the FBI, his superiors ordered them to leave early to avoid encountering the enemy, but unexpectedly they were still stuck in a traffic jam.


    As for the enemy having anti-tank missiles, the black bailiff spread his hands and repeated the words of his superior to the two of them:


    ��What if it��s fake?��


    ����


    Chenier''s face darkened completely after hearing this, and she almost couldn''t hold back her anger and started to curse. Luoan narrowed his eyes slightly, held Chenier down and didn''t say anything more. He just left the prison car and pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��Winslow, Lacey, where are you now?��


    ��Arrived at the designated location.��


    As soon as Lacey finished speaking, Winslow''s voice suddenly sounded:


    ��The target person appears! I found him!��

 Chapter 412： The enemy upstairs was suppressed by fire

    Chapter 412 The enemies upstairs were suppressed by firepower


    Los Angeles Courthouse, on the street at the back door.


    ??While Roan and Chenelle were talking to the black bailiff, Winslow and Lacey were looking for traces of Bebeto Holgay Vita and others.


    Winslow has seen how to use anti-tank missiles. After he and Lacey arrived at location 1, they kept carefully observing the nearby tall buildings.


    Winslow didn''t see any suspicious people on the high-rise building. Instead, he found a man carrying a huge black suitcase under an office building not far away. There was also a man beside him holding a large iron pliers.


    After cutting the lock on the door, the guy holding the iron pliers opened the door. The guy holding the suitcase quickly walked into the building. The guy behind then threw the iron pliers away and followed closely into the building.


    The large suitcase was far larger than the normal size, but it could just hold an anti-tank missile, and there were two black backpacks hanging on the backs of the two people. The experienced Winslow could tell at a glance what the two black backpacks contained. rifle.


    Winslow didn''t hesitate when he saw this, and quickly called Lacey. The two of them quickly ran to the cut and locked gate on the other side of the road. They quickly pressed the communicator and told Luo Ansu that they had discovered the enemy.


    ��Be careful!��


    ??Roan emphasized through the communicator that Winslow and Lacey must pay attention to their own safety, and then quickly contacted the SWAT team and asked them to go to the location Winslow mentioned for support.


    Luo An himself was not prepared to go to location 1 to support Winslow, because when the black bailiff was still complaining about today''s incident to Cheniel, he found four people with backs outside the first floor of the parking lot of the building diagonally across the street from him. Guy with black backpack.


    ??Luo An also saw that the four people had rifles in their black backpacks. Not only that, two of them were also carrying two large black suitcases.


    ��I also found an enemy here!��


    Seeing the four people entering the building in an instant, Luo An immediately picked up Chenelle and ran in that direction.


    ?While quickly jumping forward on the hood of the blocked car, Luo An pressed the communicator, described the locations of the four people to another SWAT team, and asked them to rush to the scene quickly for support.


    "clear!"


    ?Four heavily armed SWAT action teams were divided into two parts. One part rushed to Winslow and Lacey''s No. 1 location, and the other part quickly rushed to the location mentioned by Luo An to support them.


    ??The parking lot of the building diagonally opposite the court has an elevator and stairs inside. When Luo An and Cheniel entered the first floor, they happened to see the elevator closing.


    ??Looking at the sign that the elevator was slowly going up, Cheniel''s face was full of anxiety, and she was immediately ready to turn around and run to the stairs not far away. Seeing this, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, grabbed her first, and said:


    ��Focus on the third and fourth floors. These two floors have the best angles for using anti-tank missiles to attack the prisoner van. There is a high probability that these four people will go to these two floors.��


    ��OK.��


    Chenier subconsciously nodded in response, and then suddenly realized something. Just as she was about to turn around and ask, Luo An continued:


    "You go to the left and I go to the right. I''ll go up the stairs on the right. When you find the enemy later, don''t act rashly. Remember to report the location to SWAT first."


    After saying that, Luo An quickly turned around, slammed his right foot on the ground, and instantly ran towards the stairs a little further to the right at an extremely fast speed.


    Seeing Luo An running to the stairs in the blink of an eye, Chenier''s eyes widened for a moment, but this was not the time to be surprised. Chenier quickly followed Luo An''s plan and climbed up quickly. The stairs beside you.


    On the stairs on the right, Luo An climbed two steps at a time and quickly went upstairs. At the same time, he opened the system page in his mind and quickly took out a bottle of hemostatic potion, a bottle of agility potion, a bottle of physical strength potion and a bottle of analgesic potion, all in one breath. All poured into the stomach.


    ? With the blessing of stamina potion and agility potion, Luo An''s speed was a little faster, and he soon reached the third floor of the parking lot. He quickly rushed to the third floor with a weapon and a vigilant posture to check around. He didn''t find the four people. Luo An quickly turned back and ran back up the stairs to the fourth floor. At the same time, he pressed the communicator and said:


    ��Chenelle, there��s no one on the third floor! Go directly to the fourth floor!��


    Chenier, who had just reached the second and a half floor, was stunned for a moment when she heard this. A flash of astonishment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly pressed the communicator and agreed:


    "clear!"


    After Chenier finished speaking, she just ran to the third floor when she suddenly heard fierce gunshots coming from upstairs.


    ?Bang bang bang bang��


    Chenelle took a breath and quickly pressed the communicator to call SWAT. While reporting the location so that they could speed up to the scene, she also hurriedly speeded up to the fourth floor.


    On the other side, a few seconds ago, as Luo An expected, he found the four enemies on the fourth floor.


    ?One of the guys in a black suit jacket was standing on the edge of the building looking out. A guy in a brown leather jacket was standing next to him packing his backpack.


    ?Two other sturdy guys wearing black leather jackets were squatting on the ground, opening a large suitcase, and taking out a long cylindrical metal tube.


    ?Those two long metal barrels are the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missiles that were lost before.


    At this time, there were many cars parked on the fourth floor of the parking lot. Luo An bent down and quickly approached the four enemies with a weapon. He glanced outside the parking lot from the corner of his eye and found that he was directly opposite the prison van. Wen Si The place Luo and Lacey rushed to was behind the prison van.


    Obviously, the Bebeto-Holgai-Vita group planned to attack the prison car from both front and rear, without giving the prison car or passers-by near the prison car the slightest chance.


    Jingle Bell-


    Suddenly, the cell phone in the black suit jacket rang. As soon as he picked up the phone, before he could press the answer button, Luo An stood up immediately behind a car in the distance, raised his pistol, aimed at the two of them, and pulled the trigger.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Luo An''s shooting was very accurate and he successfully hit the head of the man in the black suit and the man in the brown leather jacket. When the two fell to the ground, one of the two black leather jackets who reacted immediately took out the black backpack next to him. The rifle, with a ferocious look on its face, was shooting towards Luo An like bullets were free of charge.


    ?Bang bang bang bang bang��


    A series of bullets instantly shattered the glass and tires of passers-by''s cars, leaving a pair of craters and bullet marks on the car''s surface.


    ?? Luo An quickly bent down to avoid the bullet and moved back to avoid the bullet. Another guy in a black leather jacket, while his teammates were attacking Luo An, accelerated the action of opening the Javelin anti-tank missile.


    Before launching the Javelin anti-tank missile, it needs to search for the enemy through an optical sight or an infrared thermal imager, and then it can launch after locking on the enemy. The missile will match the locked infrared signature and track the enemy until it hits the enemy.


    At this time, two of the four people had been killed by Luo An, and one person was busy attacking Luo An with a rifle. The guy playing with the anti-tank missile became more and more anxious. At this time, Chenier also ran down the stairs to the fourth floor of the parking lot. .


    ?Bang bang bang bang bang��


    ??The guy holding the rifle is using the rifle to suppress Luo An, and at the same time, he is walking little by little towards Luo An''s location.


    Because there were passers-by and cars blocking the way, Chenier, who rushed to the fourth floor, did not immediately see the guy playing with anti-tank missiles. Instead, she directly saw the man in the black jacket holding a rifle fire to suppress Luo An, with his back turned to her. Chenier didn''t hesitate, raised the gun and pulled the trigger towards the opponent''s back.


    ?At the same time, Luo An also took out two shock bombs from his lower back.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 413： Missile launched, Luo An disappeared

    Chapter 413 Missile launch, missing Luo An


    ?Bang bang bang bang bang��


    ??On the fourth floor of the parking lot, there was loud gunfire. A guy in a black leather jacket was holding a rifle and slowly walked towards Luo An with a ferocious face.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Chenille fired several shots, two bullets missed, but more bullets hit the back of the black leather jacket.


    "ah-"


    Feeling the pain coming from his back, the strong man in a black leather jacket roared, turned around desperately, aimed the rifle at Cheney and pulled the trigger.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    Chenille, who reacted quickly, immediately turned sideways and returned to the stairs to avoid the bullet. The man in the black leather jacket endured the pain and was about to move forward when he suddenly noticed a black object flying from the corner of his eye.


    ?)


    ??The man in the black leather jacket had a flash of doubt in his mind, trying to see what the object was. The next second, a dazzling white flash flashed in front of his eyes.


    ??Followed by a deafening explosion, the strong man in the black leather jacket who had been shot only felt a shock, and then he fell to the ground uncontrollably and lost consciousness.


    Luo An, who had used a shock bomb to knock down the enemy, walked out from behind the car and glanced at the man in a black leather jacket lying on the ground. Knowing the importance of re-shooting, he aimed at the opponent and pulled the trigger again.


    boom!


    When the gunfire fell, the strong man on the ground shook and stopped moving. At the same time, the remaining enemy suddenly straightened up from behind a car not far away, carrying a huge giant on his shoulders. The cannon barrel aimed at Luo An and shouted with a ferocious look on his face:


    ��Fu-kYou!��


    boom! boom!


    boom! boom! boom!


    The moment the strong man stood up, Luo An did not hesitate, immediately raised the muzzle of his gun, aimed at the opponent and pulled the trigger.


    ?Chenelle on the other side also walked out of the stairs and fired bullets at the strong man''s back. All their bullets hit the enemy.


    Several flowers of blood spattered on the strong man''s body. His legs weakened and he fell forward to the ground. However, at the last second, he still pressed the launch button of the anti-tank missile.


    ����


    One of the biggest features of the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile is that the missile head will automatically pursue the enemy after being launched. Therefore, even if the operator falls down, a flame will still burst out from behind the missile head and fly straight in the direction of Luo An.


    ��Luo An!��


    ??Seeing this scene, Chenier''s pupils shrank suddenly and her face changed. She screamed and raised her weapon, frantically pulling the trigger towards the missile head in an attempt to blow it up.


    When Luo An saw this scene, his expression changed and he turned around and ran away. In the blink of an eye, he ran into the stairwell that he had just entered when he went upstairs.


    The Javelin anti-tank missile head has the function of locking and tracking enemies, but it does not have the ability to turn at right angles. As soon as Luo An''s figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, it hit the wall at the top of the stairs.


    Boom��


    A terrifying explosion exploded suddenly, the walls disappeared instantly, cement bricks flew everywhere, a black and gray smoke filled the surroundings, and the whole building seemed to shake.


    Chenier, who turned pale, quickly ran towards the place where the explosion occurred. At this time, there were no stairs and it was a mess. Only a large empty hole appeared in front of her eyes. Because of the black and gray smoke, she could not see the specific situation inside. .


    Chenelle��s legs went limp and she lay down next to the big hole, shouting:


    "Luo An! Team leader Luo An! Where are you? Answer me!"


    At the same time, such a loud explosion was deafening and resounded in the ears of everyone around. The black bailiff shook his body and cursed loudly. The passers-by on the ground screamed and ran away everywhere, not even the cars blocking the road. .


    Not far away, Winslow and Lacey had already successfully killed each other before the other two people took out anti-tank missiles. When they heard such a loud explosion, their hearts skipped a beat, and they looked at each other and pressed the button quickly. Contact Luo An via the contact line.


    "Luo An? Luo An?" ????"Team Leader Luo An? Can you hear me, Team Leader Luo An?"


    ?Seeing that no one answered on the communicator, Lacey and Winslow''s expressions suddenly turned ugly. As they quickly got up and ran to location two, they quickly contacted Chenelle:


    ��Chanelle? Are you there? Can you hear me?��


    "��I am here."


    With red eyes, Chenille asked the ambulance to rush to the scene. At the same time, she was running from the other side of the stairs to the third floor, preparing to go there to find Luo An.


    Hearing the sound of the communicator, Cheniel slapped herself hard, forced herself to calm down, and then replied:


    ��Four enemies have been successfully killed, anti-tank missiles exploded, and the whereabouts of Team Leader Luo An are unknown.��


    Winslow''s face turned pale when he heard this and he didn''t say much. He just ran to location No. 1 a little faster.


    ??Lacie felt her vision go dark, and then she ran faster like Winslow, while constantly yelling at the unconscious enemies.


    On the other side, team leader Potente Byrne received the news of Luo An��s disappearance. He immediately threw the signature pen aside and walked out of the room with a stern expression.


    ?Mona, who stayed behind in the special investigation team, heard that her face suddenly turned white and her fingernails turned white, and she ran away from the special investigation team without saying a word.


    Michelle''s expression next to her also darkened. When she saw Mona running out of the office area, she quickly got up and chased after her.


    ? Michelle knew that Mona would definitely drive to the scene now, but she was afraid that Mona would have problems driving too fast because of her excitement, so she planned to grab Mona''s steering wheel and let her drive.


    ?While everyone was anxiously looking for Luo An, Luo An took a deep breath on the traffic-jammed street behind the parking lot and struggled to get up from the ground little by little.


    When he saw the anti-tank missile flying towards him, Luo An was sure that he could not move from the fourth floor stairs to the first floor in a short time. So Luo An, who knew the power of the warhead explosion, did not hesitate and went directly from the third floor to the middle of the fourth floor. The windows on the stairs rolled out.


    Luo An looked around before going upstairs. He remembered that the street behind the building was just like the court in front, and there was a traffic jam. If he fell out from the third floor and a half, he would fall on the car and not hit the ground directly.


    Facts have proved that Luo An''s guess was very accurate. After jumping out of the window, he did hit a passerby''s car hard and then fell to the road.


    But Luo An underestimated the impact of jumping from a three-and-a-half-story building. The roof of a passerby''s car was directly dented by the heavily armed Luo An. Luo An was also shaken by the impact and felt that something was wrong in all his internal organs. , the bones also seem to be broken.


    Because he drank analgesic beforehand, Luo An was not unable to move due to severe pain.


    The good news is that Luo An stood up without much effort and time. The bad news is that apart from being sure that his left hand is injured, he can''t be sure whether other parts of his body are injured. He can only feel it. Something wasn''t quite right in the past.


    Hearing Cheniere''s loud shouting upstairs, Luo An wanted to press the communicator to answer, but found that the communicator was smashed and his cell phone was also thrown away when he jumped off the building. He stood on the street and shouted Not a good way either.


    So Luo An wiped the blood on his face, knocked on the passenger door of the car next to him with a dented roof, and looked at the young couple in the car through the broken glass window, revealing a look that he thought was amiable. Smile and say:


    ��Hello, FBI, let me lend you your cell phone.��


    The girl in the passenger seat with a frightened face said: ������


    ?The boy in the driver��s seat + the owner of the car: ����$%*@��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 414： Hospital, Luo An’s injuries

    Chapter 414: Hospital, Luo An��s injury


    ??In the parking lot of a building next to the Los Angeles Courthouse, there is a large hole in the middle stairway on the fourth floor. A thick black and gray smoke can be seen in the distance.


    ??On the road behind the parking lot of the building, there was parked a black car with a big dent in the roof.


    ?? Luo An has a very good appearance. The few wisps of blood that appeared on his face not only did not make people feel ferocious, but gave people an indescribable sense of handsomeness.


    ??The girl in the passenger seat of the car was in shock, but when she saw Luo An talking to her with a smile, her eyes lit up and she subconsciously took out her mobile phone and handed it to Luo An.


    The boy who was also shocked in the driver''s seat of the car saw his girlfriend staring at Luo An intently. In addition, Luo An smashed a big hole in the new car he just bought. The boy''s face turned red and his anger surged up instantly. He opened the car door and went straight to Luo An, saying angrily:


    ��Sonof! Hey, this is the new car I just bought! You **** guy����


    ??Roan told the boy that someone would take care of his car, then got the cell phone from the girl and immediately called Chenelle.


    At this moment, Chenelle��s eyes were red, squatting and rummaging through the concrete ruins on the third floor of the parking lot. She pressed the answer button when her phone rang, her voice a little hoarse:


    ��I��m Chenelle.��


    The young boy felt that Luo An was prevaricating him, and became more and more angry. When he saw his girlfriend getting out of the car and telling him not to disturb Luo An, his anger instantly rushed to the boy''s head. He raised his hand and grabbed Luo An''s shoulder and pushed back hard. Bye, I want Luo An to turn around and listen to me.


    ��It��s me, Luo An, I��m fine.��


    ??Luo An moved a step to the left to avoid the boy''s hand, and said to Chenelle:


    ��I��m on the road behind the parking lot. I��m a little injured now. Please help me contact an ambulance.��


    The analgesic medicine is very effective. Luo An can''t feel any pain at all now. But after smashing the car into such a big hole, his body is definitely injured. It''s absolutely right to go to the hospital for a checkup quickly.


    ??This case is such a big deal. Killing the enemy without any injuries or successfully killing the enemy with serious injuries can certainly win the admiration of others, but the latter can gain greater credit.


    Only a child who can cry can be fed by milk. This saying is applicable everywhere.


    Beside him, the boy became even more angry when he saw that Luo An still ignored him. When he heard his girlfriend start to scold him, the boy''s eyes turned red instantly, and he raised his fist and hit Luo An regardless.


    Feeling the sound of wind coming from behind, Luo An turned around and raised his hand to easily block the boy''s fist, then twisted the boy''s arm in the opposite direction and pinned it behind his back. Finally, with a hard push, he easily pressed the boy onto the hood of the car.


    ?On the other side, Chenelle was stunned for a moment when she heard Luo An''s voice. She was ecstatic when she heard the news that Luo An was still alive.


    ??But later when she heard Luo An telling her to call an ambulance, Cheniel''s heart skipped a beat again. She quickly got up and ran to the edge of the third floor to look down, and asked quickly:


    "I''ll call an ambulance for you right away! Where are you injured? Have you been shot? I..."


    ?A few seconds later, Chenelle could no longer speak. She looked down from the edge of the building and saw Luo An easily pressing the boy on the hood of the car.


    Chenelle: ������


    Downstairs, the girl looked at Luo An with a worried face. Luo An gave her a reassuring look, indicating that he would not do anything to her boyfriend. Then he picked up the phone and answered Chenier''s words:


    ��Don��t ask so many questions, hurry up and call an ambulance for me, I��m seriously injured.��


    The girl looked at a loss, and the boy cursed even louder when he heard this. Chenille, who was upstairs, twitched her lips and nodded:


    ? ����OK.��


    Chenelle hung up the phone and quickly explained Luo An''s location to the ambulance that had rushed to the scene. Then she ran downstairs and pressed the communicator to tell Winslow, Lacey and others that they had found him. News from Roan.


    Winslow, Lacey and others were all happy when they heard this, and immediately asked Luo An where he was injured, where he was lying now, and whether anyone was giving him first aid and other questions.


    ����


    ? Chenier was speechless. She opened her mouth and didn��t know what to say. She could only vaguely say that she didn��t know either and that she was rushing towards Luo An.


    On the other side, after Chenille hung up the phone, Luo An did not return the phone to the girl immediately, but continued to call Mona. Luo An, who knew Mona''s temperament, was also worried that she would carelessly race on the streets of Los Angeles. Mona''s driving skills were average. Luo An knew that there was nothing serious about her, but he didn''t want Mona to end up in the hospital.


    On the streets of Los Angeles in the distance, an SUV was driving forward quickly. Michelle was driving the car, and Mona was sitting in the passenger seat.


    ?At the critical moment, Mona still listened to Michelle and gave her the steering wheel.


    Chenille explained to the communicator that she had found Luo An. Mona and Michelle also heard the news. They were relieved but still very nervous because Chenille hesitated and did not say at all what Luo An was. What exactly is the injury?


    Before Mona could ask further questions, her cell phone suddenly rang. Luo An on the other end of the phone smiled and comforted:


    ��It��s me, Luo An, don��t worry, I��m fine.��


    ��Fu-kYou! Luo An!��


    Hearing Luo An��s relaxed tone as before, Mona couldn��t hold back her anger and cursed loudly, then continued to ask with an anxious look on her face:


    "Where are you injured? Is it serious? Is there any bleeding..."


    ��He was injured, but not particularly serious, and there is no bleeding at the moment����


    ?Luo An didn''t care when Mona scolded him. He knew that the other person cared about him, so he answered each of the other person''s questions with a smile.


    A few seconds later, he looked up and saw Chenelle, Winslow, and Lacey not far away, as well as several doctors carrying a stretcher. Luo An said a few words and hung up the phone. Returning the phone to the girl, she let go of the boy she was holding down and said:


    ��Hey, my team members will come here later. Leave your personal information and we will deal with your car afterwards.��


    After saying that, Luo An took a few steps back, sat down on the ground, leaned back, closed his eyes and lay on the ground.


    The girl who picked up the phone was speechless when she saw this scene. The boy who finally got up from the hood turned red and purple. The first thing he did when he got up was to kick Luo An on the ground.


    Seeing this scene, Winslow and Lacey, who were not far away, immediately took out their pistols and shouted:


    "do not move!"


    "Raise your hand!"


    The boy''s movements suddenly froze in place: "%$@..."


    Chenelle: ������


    Half an hour later, Luo An was sent to the operating room of the hospital.


    ?According to the doctor''s examination, Luo An had bone fractures in his left leg and right shoulder, a lot of bruises and shrapnel scratches on his back, some damage to his internal organs due to severe vibration, and a fracture in his left arm.


    ?The injuries were serious, but not particularly serious. After all, there were no fatal injuries.


    ??However, due to the request of the head of the FBI Special Investigation Team and the sake of the check, when Luo An was pushed out of the operating room, his upper body had been mummified by the doctor with bandages, and the examination results showed that there were several more fatal injuries.


    ?In the ward, looking at the half-mummy Roan on the hospital bed, Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle looked at each other in shock after learning his true state of injury.


    ��What do you know?��


    ?Selectively ignoring Mona''s eye roll, Luo An smiled and took a sip of the water she fed him. Just as he was about to speak, Michelle suddenly pushed the door open and said:


    ��Luo An, the team leader is here.��

 Chapter 415： Finale of the case, harvest, heading to Boston

    Chapter 415 Finale of the case, harvest, heading to Boston


    Hospital, ward.


    With the arrival of team leader Potente Byrne, Mona, Winslow and other team members walked out of the ward and went to the corridor to chat quietly.


    ��Your special investigation team has made a big splash this time.��


    Potente-Bourne entered the ward and was shocked to see Luo An, who was wrapped up into a half-mummy. After chatting with Luo An for a few words, he found that his body was seriously injured, but his mind was still clear before he was relieved. , said:


    ��The location where the anti-tank missile exploded is now surrounded by several Los Angeles media helicopters.��


    Since the 9/11 incident, the federal public has been wary of explosions.


    ??The billowing smoke caused by the anti-tank missile explosion made many people on the streets of Los Angeles wonder whether terrorists had turned their attention to Los Angeles.


    Luo An smiled and said in a hoarse voice:


    ��I hope that missile didn��t explode.��


    ��That��s what I think too, but those media are eager for missiles to blow up two more.��


    Potente-Bourne poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and said:


    ��Luo An, you did a very good job this time. The mayor of Los Angeles and the director of the FBI��s Los Angeles branch both called me and praised your special investigation team...��


    Potente-Bourne was very emotional and praised Luo An for a long time. Finally, he coughed lightly and whispered:


    ��A reporter will contact you tomorrow morning to conduct an exclusive interview with you. Her father works in the FBI, so you don��t have to worry.��


    ?Seeing the look in Potente Bourne''s hand as he handed it to him, Luo An understood what the other person meant in a flash of his mind. After agreeing with a smile, he asked:


    ��Sir, those cars in the parking lot...��


    ??When Roan and Chenelle exchanged gunfire with the four men, there were many cars parked on the fourth floor of the parking lot, many of which had craters and bullet holes from bullets.


    The anti-tank missile at the back exploded, causing a big hole to collapse on the fourth floor. A pile of cars turned into pieces and fell to the third floor of the parking lot with cement bricks, destroying a bunch of cars parked in the parking lot on the third floor.


    The total losses of these cars are not a small number.


    ����It��s okay, I��ll take care of it.��


    ?Potent-Bourne''s face twitched slightly when he heard Luo An mention this matter.


    ?However, Potente-Bourne, who is experienced, does not panic. It is impossible to pay for compensation, even in this life. The FBI can help those car owners contact the insurance companies and help them track the insurance company''s compensation progress.


    As for some car owners not buying insurance, that is not the FBI��s problem.


    In the thrilling federal life of liberal democracy, if you don��t buy insurance for your car, what does it have to do with federal law enforcement if something goes wrong?


    The Federation treats everyone equally, but some people are more equal.


    ?After listening to Potente-Bourne''s words, Luo An remained silent, and he was more convinced in his heart that he would use the official car privately.


    The two continued chatting for a while, and Luo An suddenly remembered something and said:


    ��Sir, I would like to take some time off.��


    Now that I am injured, I can take this opportunity to rest for a while, go out and enjoy the dull and impetuous capitalist life of the Federation with Mona.


    As for the injuries on his body, Luo An didn''t panic at all. He could almost recover by drinking a few more bottles of stamina potion.


    "no problem."


    Potente-Bourne agreed without thinking. Luo An was injured now and needed training and psychological counseling.


    It was Christmas again in a few days, and he heard that Luo An had not returned to Boston to visit his late parents for a long time. Potente Byrne waved his hand and gave Luan six months to let him Just figure it out yourself.


    ?Potent-Bourne left the ward. Roan, who had been given half a year of free time, did not smile, but frowned in thought.


    Roan Greenwood��s deceased parents have always been ignored by Roan in his heart, but Potente Byrne��s words today still brought back memories of this matter in Roan��s mind. More than half an hour later, Winslow, Lacey, Chenelle and Michelle left the ward one after another. Luo An looked at Mona who was helping him organize his personal belongings. He was silent for a few seconds and told her about his half-year vacation. thing, and then said:


    ��Mona, come with me to Boston in a few days.��


    Escape is never the answer, and it��s time to go to Boston with Mona.


    When she first heard Luo An talking about the half-year vacation, Mona suddenly smiled and happily thought about how to arrange this time.


    But later when she heard that Luo An was going to take her to meet Luo An''s deceased parents, Mona suddenly fell silent.


    Luo An frowned slightly when he saw this, stretched out his hand to hold Mona, and asked in a low voice:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ����Nothing, it��s just a little sudden and I��m a little surprised.��


    ??Mona was silent for a long time, then stood up and came to Luo An, lowered her head and bit Luo An''s lips, and whispered:


    ��I love you, Roan.��


    Just as he was about to answer Mona''s words, Luo An suddenly felt something moving underneath him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered:


    ��Mona, my left leg is broken now, but there��s nothing I can do����


    ��It��s okay, you don��t need to move.��


    ??Mona bit Luo An''s lips hard, then got up and left the hospital bed, walked to the ward door, locked it, and closed the curtains on the door...


    ����


    In the next few days, Luo An first lay on the hospital bed and accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from what Potente Byrne, the team leader, said.


    ??The female reporter is from the Los Angeles Times. She is highly professional and beautiful. During the entire interview, she never asked Luo An any questions that were embarrassing or did not want to be answered.


    ??The column article written by the female reporter in the newspaper after the incident also perfectly reflected Luo An''s handsome, humorous, courageous and resourceful positive image.


    ??The only problem is that the female reporter looked at Luo An in a wrong way. If Mona hadn''t been standing at the door staring coldly, the other party might have helped Luo An change the bandage.


    Afterwards, the female reporter secretly gave Luo An a business card, but Mona tore it into pieces and flushed it into the toilet.


    ?Team leader Luo An is hospitalized, but the work at hand of the special investigation team cannot be stopped.


    Lacie and Michelle stayed in the Special Investigation Team and carefully dealt with the follow-up of the documents of the "Missing Naval Officer Case".


    ? Chenier and Winslow wasted some time and found Tom Torres, the broker who had killed everyone.


    Not surprisingly, the reason why Tom Torres killed everyone was indeed threatened. Bebeto Holgue Vita''s men imprisoned Tom Torres''s daughter and asked Tom Torres to do something for him, otherwise he would kill him. That girl.


    The main participants in the entire case, Tom Torres and Kelly Hunter, were sent to a temporary prison to await trial in court. Bebeto Holgai Vita and others all died and were sent to the morgue.


    ?Under the leadership of Michelle, the special investigation team spent several days processing the documents and reports, and the case was finally concluded.


    ??Luo An returned to the special investigation team in a wheelchair with a bandage on his left hand. He took out a folder from the team leader''s office and motioned for Michelle to distribute it to everyone.


    In the folder were the bonuses received by the detectives after handling the case, each of which was 2,000 US dollars, as well as a notice signed by Luo An that the special investigation team would be on vacation for the next two months.


    ???????????????????????????????????????????????


    In the previous serial murder case, both of them got a large bonus from Luo An, which was a large bonus for them. Now that Christmas is coming, both of them are planning for the next holiday.


    The next day, the Special Investigation Team officially started their vacation. Mona and Luo An, who was on crutches, got on a plane to Boston together.

 Chapter 416： Luo An: Feeling the joy of money making ability

    Chapter 416 Luo An: Feeling the joy of money making ability


    Massachusetts, Boston, Brookline area.


    ??This area is one of the most popular towns in Massachusetts and is famous throughout the United States for housing in high-quality school districts. Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are across the river from this area.


    A certain president of the Federation who had a great imagination once attended a private high school in this area.


    Luo An''s parents'' house is in this area, but because the prices of real estate in this area remain high, after his mother''s sudden death, Luo An, who has not yet gone to college, has no ability to pay the high inheritance tax. , so the tall villa was naturally taken away and auctioned by the Boston government.


    Arriving in Boston by plane with Mona, Luo An learned that the current owner of the villa went bankrupt half a year ago and was putting the villa up for sale. Luo An did not hesitate and immediately contacted the agent and spent more than six million US dollars to buy the villa again. A villa.


    The interior decoration of the villa is no longer what it once was in Luo An''s mind. Fortunately, before Luo An had to move out of the villa, he rented a long-term warehouse in the suburbs of Boston to store his parents'' belongings, personal belongings and his own personal belongings. Put it all inside.


    ?At that time, Luo An also took a lot of photos of the previous layout of the villa. After buying the property, Luo An immediately contacted the construction team and asked them to redecorate the villa according to the layout in the photos.


    ?With the help of money ability, the construction team took less than a week to perfectly replicate the decoration in the photo. Luo An was very emotional about this. He finally felt the joy of Batman.


    Christmas is one of the traditional festivals of the Federation. Tonight, in addition to the warm decoration in this villa, there is also a Christmas tree in the center of the hall. The tree is decorated with various lights, flowers, toys, stars, and hung with various Christmas gifts.


    ??The Christmas tree was purchased and decorated by Luo An and Mona. The two were making dinner in the kitchen at this time. Mona''s laughter was clear and sweet, and Luo An''s face was also full of smiles.


    ��Okay, stop making trouble.��


    After sniffing, Mona''s face changed when she smelled the burnt smell in the air. She pushed away Luo An, who was entangled with her, and quickly ran to the oven and opened the oven door. A dark turkey appeared. In front of her eyes.


    "damn it."


    ??Mona took out the roasted turkey, took off her gloves and threw it at Luo An, and said angrily:


    ��It��s all your fault, we have no dinner tonight!��


    ��It��s gone when it��s gone.��


    Luo An raised his hand to easily catch the gloves flying in the air, put them aside, and said with a smile:


    ��Let��s go out to eat directly.��


    ?Luo An can cook some Eastern dishes, but he really can��t cook Western turkey, so he has to leave it to Mona.


    ??Mona can make some quick meals, and she also knows a little about how to cook turkey. Before cooking, she specially carried a few packages of gifts and went to her neighbor''s house to ask for advice.


    But when he looked back and saw Mona holding a bunch of weird smelling things and stuffing them into the turkey''s belly, Luo An made up his mind that he couldn''t eat this turkey at all tonight, so he just just Deliberately entangled Mona.


    ??Mona wrinkled her nose, walked up to Luo An and looked at him carefully. Seeing that Luo An''s expression did not change at all, she hummed and nodded in agreement:


    ��OK, I��ll go upstairs to change clothes.��


    After saying that, Mona slapped Luo An''s **** hard, then ran towards the stairs with a smile.


    ��How dare you hit me?��


    ?Luo An grinned, turned around and leaned on his crutches and shouted:


    ��Don��t run away, let me fight back!��


    "I don''t!"


    ??Luo An drank a lot of stamina potions these days, and all the wounds on his body have healed. The fractured left leg and shoulder are almost healed, and the fractured left arm is also healing quickly.


    ??But in order not to attract attention, Luo An still used crutches, and his left arm was always tied with a plaster hanging on his chest.


    Women always spend some time on their clothes and face when going out. After more than an hour, Luo An and Mona drove out of the villa and went to a restaurant that Luo An used his money power again to make a reservation. Luo An is now more and more aware of how easy it is to use money in the Federation. Apart from spending money, the rest is happiness.


    ??This time it was not Luo An who was driving, but Mona. The car was an orange sports car Dodge Hellcat.


    ??Other than the explosion, Luo An had never driven a sports car. Wanting to know what it would be like to drive a sports car with one hand, Luo An bought the cat directly.


    But because the left arm is really tied with a plaster and cannot move, Mona can only drive during this period.


    �C


    At the entrance of a well-known restaurant in Boston, the orange Hellcat attracted the attention of a large number of passers-by. Mona, who was wearing a silver dress and had a curvy figure, opened the door and stepped out of the car. Then she walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, and stretched out her hand to Luo An. , raised his head and said:


    ��We��re at the place, honey.��


    ����


    He raised his head and looked at Mona who was snickering like a little fox who had successfully eaten a chicken. Luo An''s eyes flashed with a hint of speechlessness, but he didn''t say much. He handed his hand to Mona and got out of the passenger seat. stood up.


    Amid the complex looks of envy, jealousy, hatred and other expressions from passers-by, Luo An stood up and pulled Mona into his arms. He lowered his head and nibbled on her lips, and then whispered in Mona''s ear:


    ��I��ll take care of you after dinner.��


    ��It��s not certain who will clean up who.��


    ??Mona bit Luo An''s ear in turn, chuckled, threw the car keys to the doorman next to her, and pulled Luo An into the restaurant.


    Not long after he sat down at the reserved seat, several dishes were brought to the table. Luo An picked up a piece of turkey and tasted it, and then he never touched that dish again.


    ? Luo An felt that the food was very bad, but Mona felt good and ate it with gusto.


    ??Picked up the red wine and took a sip. Luo An grabbed the disturbing object that was rubbing against his calf, sandwiched it between his legs, and said softly:


    ��Today is Christmas. I wonder how everyone else in the Special Investigation Team is doing.��


    Mona looked slightly stiff. She tugged hard and found that she couldn''t get away, so she stopped trying and replied:


    ��I called them this morning, and as usual, they all had their own business.��


    Michelle stayed alone in the rental house reading, but bought a turkey for dinner in the restaurant.


    ??The other end of the phone from Lacey was extremely noisy, saying that there was a party tonight, and there were young girls in it. She was going to make an effort tonight and get two or three to spend Christmas with her tonight.


    Chernelle didn��t have many relatives or friends in Los Angeles. The day after she got the holiday, she flew directly back to her parents�� home in Mississippi and spent Christmas with her parents.


    ?Winslow was previously married and had an ex-wife and a young son. The ex-wife has now formed a new family with someone else.


    Fortunately, Winslow had a good relationship with his ex-wife. During the Christmas day, he played happily with his son for a day. In the evening, he used the bonus he received from the Special Investigation Unit to buy a lot of gifts for his son, and then sent his son back. Arrived at my ex-wife''s place.


    As for Christmas night, Winslow recently met a female coffee shop owner, and they made an appointment to have dinner together tonight...


    As she was talking, Mona''s fork suddenly fell onto the dinner plate with a "ding" sound. She looked at Luo An unnaturally, her face turned red and she revealed her little fangs and shouted in a low voice:


    ��Luo An!��


    ?Seeing that Mona seemed to be biting herself to death, Luo An chuckled, stopped and began to taste the dishes normally.


    Christmas customs include a Santa hat.


    ?It is a red hat. It is said that if you wear it to sleep at night, you will not only sleep peacefully and warmly, but you will also find some gifts from your loved ones in the hat the next day.


    ??Roan and Mona both prepared gifts for each other, but they had no intention of waiting until the next day to see them. After dinner, they returned to the villa to rest for a while, and the two began to look at the gifts that the other party had given them.

 Chapter 417： Christmas bells, casino, surprise tracking

    Chapter 417 Christmas bells, casino, unexpected tracking


    Boston, Brookline area, a villa.


    On the second floor of the villa, Mona opened the Santa hat and found a wooden box inside.


    Open the box and there is a small box inside.


    ����


    ??Mona was a little speechless and continued to open the small box. Inside...this time it was not a small box, but two air tickets to Las Vegas and a hotel suite order.


    Some time ago, when Mona and Luo An were watching a movie together in the cinema, they once said that they wanted to go to Las Vegas to see the local customs and customs.


    It happened that Luo An didn��t know what Christmas gift to give Mona, and he also wanted to visit Las Vegas to test one of his conjectures, so he booked these two air tickets.


    "ah-"


    ??Mona also remembered this incident, and suddenly exclaimed with a smile on her face, and shouted towards the outside of the room:


    ��Luo An! Thank you for your gift! I like it very much!��


    ?Hearing Mona''s shout, Luo An, who was sitting on the sofa on the first floor of the villa, chuckled, lowered his head and opened the Santa hat that Mona gave him.


    ?There are a lot of things in this Christmas hat, including a long pink rope with a bell, a foldable antler headdress, and a pack of ***.


    ����


    Looking at these three items, Luo An''s eyes suddenly flashed with light. He still didn''t understand what Mona meant. He got up and left the sofa, picked up these three items, and went straight to the second floor of the villa with a cane.


    At this time, one of the classic Christmas tunes is playing in the villa: Jingle Bells.


    ?The jingling of horse bells makes people happy. We are so happy skiing tonight, singing skiing songs...


    ����


    Las Vegas, also known as the gambling city and the entertainment capital of the world, is the largest city in the federal state of Nevada and one of the four major gambling cities in the world. It is a world-renowned resort city for tourism, shopping and vacation centered on the gambling industry. It has It is known as the "Entertainment Capital of the World" and the "Wedding Capital".


    Among the tourists who come to Las Vegas every year, the majority come to shop and enjoy delicious food, while only a minority come specifically to gamble.


    Luo An and Mona were no exception. The two of them flew here on the second week after Christmas. After a short rest in the hotel for a night, they went straight to the Las Vegas Strip and walked straight along this avenue. Go shopping, play, eat and drink from place to place.


    ?But when you came to Las Vegas, how could you not go to the casino? Plus Luo An wanted to test some of his ideas, so he suggested to Mona that they go to the casino for a while.


    ��No.��


    ??Mona rejected Luo An��s proposal with a serious face and said in a serious voice:


    "Luo An, I know you have made a lot of money during this period, but that money is nothing at the gambling table. Gambling can be addictive, but gamblers will not end well."


    ��Thank you, Mona, I know.��


    ?Seeing the worry written in Mona''s eyes, Luo An, who knew that she cared about him, stood up and kissed Mona for a moment, and then said seriously:


    ��Trust in my control, Mona, I will never get the upper hand.��


    ??Mona shook her head after hearing this, and just as she was about to continue speaking, Luo An came up with an idea:


    ��Well, I��ll only take a little money this time, and if we lose it all, we��ll leave the casino and never go back again, okay?��


    ? ����OK.��


    ??Mona frowned and pondered for a few seconds, nodded, and then said:


    ��That��s $1,000.��


    ����


    Luo An was speechless and suggested:


    ��One hundred thousand dollars.��


    ��No!��


    ?Mona loudly refused:


    ��10,000 US dollars, no more!��


    ?Seeing Mona staring at him fiercely, Luo An sighed and nodded in agreement:


    ��Okay, just $10,000.��


    ?Caesar Palace in Las Vegas, one of the well-known hotels and casinos.


    ? Luo An exchanged 10,000 US dollars for a pile of chips ranging from 1 US dollars to 500 US dollars, and walked into the depths of the casino with Mona, found a table where they were playing Texas Hold''em poker, and sat down.


    ?Picking up a $1 chip and looking at it, Luo An felt as if he had been embarrassed by his seniors who went to the casino and easily took out millions. Mona casually asked a waiter to exchange chips for a glass of wine, then stood behind Luo An and watched without saying anything.


    ??There are five players on this gambling table including Luo An, two men and women dressed as tourists, a white uncle who looks to be in his forties with a sad face, and a white young man who looks from left to right with a strange look on his face.


    The chips of the four of them were between 5,000 and 10,000 US dollars. After playing a few simple games, Luo An didn''t notice anyone pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. After thinking about it, it was normal. After all, the ante at this table was too low. How could anyone with his skills come to play at this kind of card table.


    Because he didn��t particularly understand the rules of Texas hold��em poker at the beginning, Luo An lost more than 6,000 US dollars in just a few games.


    Mona��s expression behind him remained unchanged. She knew this would be the result and had already begun to think about where to eat after the gambling.


    ?At this time, a wave of people had changed at the card table. The two tourists and the uncle each won a little money and left the card table immediately.


    The white young man with a novel face lost worse than Luo An. He originally had 10,000 US dollars in chips, but now only has 2,000 dollars left. His whole face is no longer full of novelty. Now he is breathing very quickly, his eyes are red, and he keeps urging Luo An. Ann and the other three newcomers opened the cards.


    ??Luo An put his chin in his hand and did not open the cards immediately. Instead, he turned back and patted Mona:


    ��Give me a sip of wine.��


    ��Hmm? Oh, here you go.��


    Mona was stunned for a moment, and then handed the wine glass to Luo An. Luo An took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He changed his position and started to turn over his cards, which were two jacks of clubs, one jack of hearts, one king of hearts and a king of spades


    ?This card is called "Full House" in Texas Hold''em. It is not the biggest card, but it is bigger than all the cards of other people on the gambling table, so Luo An successfully won back three thousand US dollars in this wave.


    ��Fu-k!��


    �O


    ??The white young man''s cards happened to be slightly lower than Luo An''s. This time he completely lost the remaining two thousand US dollars. After slamming the table, he glared at Luo An and turned around to leave the table.


    Several other people who had lost their cards also glanced at Luo An and turned around to leave. Luo An smiled nonchalantly. He had roughly confirmed his guess, so he threw a fifty-dollar chip to the dealer. He also got up and left the card table.


    ??Mona followed closely, looking at the more than 6,000 US dollars in chips in Luo An''s hand, she smiled and asked:


    ��Is it over? Let��s go eat!��


    ��No, wait for me a little longer.��


    ?? Luo An smiled and shook his head, and before Mona could get angry, he asked:


    ��By the way, which restaurant do you want to go to? How much does it cost?��


    ?Mona was stunned for a moment and replied:


    ��Well...it��s the seafood barbecue buffet next to it. Five hundred dollars is enough for the two of us.��


    ��OK, let��s go when we win $10,500.��


    Luo An smiled and nodded, pulling Mona to another card table not far away.


    ��What?��


    Before Mona could come to her senses, Luo An had already sat at another Texas Hold''em poker table. Mona was very angry when she realized it. But seeing that Luo An had already started a new round of poker, she suppressed her anger. Prepare to discuss this matter with Luo An after he loses everything.


    ??But what Mona didn��t expect was that after several rounds of poker, Luo An lost first and then won, and actually got back his original capital of 10,000 US dollars, and won more than 2,000 US dollars more.


    Leaving the card table and walking out, Luo An threw the chips to Mona and said with a smile:


    ��We��re not going to eat at the buffet tonight, we��re going to eat something more expensive!��


    Mona, who took the chips, looked shocked and asked in a low voice:


    "how did you do that?"


    ?Luo An smiled and pointed at his brain without saying anything.


    It��s not that Luo An can see through other people��s cards, but because he has been exercising and using the ��emotional perception�� in his mind for a long time, he discovered a new function after the last case.


    ??Mona thought that Luo An pointed at his head to praise his good memory. Just as he was about to speak, Luo An suddenly pulled Mona and quickly walked into a slot machine next to him, and whispered:


    ��Someone is following us.��


    ?Mona��s face changed slightly:


    ��A gambler who just lost money? Or someone from the casino?��


    ?Luo An frowned slightly, remained silent for a few seconds, and said:


    "It''s not the people you mentioned. The other person is a woman, and...I don''t know if I saw it wrong, but her face looks a bit like yours."


    ??Mona: ��?!��


    Sorry, I have temporarily modified the driving content...The review is getting stricter...

 Chapter 418： Luo An: Do you want to call the police? Just right, I am

    Chapter 418 Luo An: Do you want to call the police? That''s right, I''m the FBI


    ?Las Vegas, Caesars Palace Casino.


    ? Behind a certain slot machine, Luo An pretended to be injured with his left hand hanging on his chest, holding Mona with his right hand, lowering his head and pretending to kiss her, but in fact he was observing the situation on the other side through the reflection of the colorful glass on the pillar next to him.


    At the gambling table just now, Luo An had been using his "emotional perception" ability to compare the emotions others would have when seeing cards of a certain suit. He compared his own cards with those of the other party, first guessing and then verifying, to achieve the first goal. The result of winning after losing.


    During this period, because there were too many people in the casino, the gamblers'' hearts fluctuated too much, so in order not to be distracted by other people, Luo An only used his "emotional perception" on his own card table and ignored other players. Passersby.


    ??But when the bet was over and Luo An pulled Mona away, the "emotional perception" in his mind suddenly discovered that a person began to follow him, and the other person''s emotions were very complicated, with warmth and coldness coexisting, both goodwill and repulsion.


    Luo An was a little confused about this, but pretended not to know. When he threw the chips to Mona, he quietly looked back through the colorful glass that can be seen everywhere in the casino, and found that the other person was dressed as a tourist, holding a glass of wine. A young woman covering her face and wearing black-rimmed glasses.


    After playing the slot machine, Mona looked confused after hearing Luo An��s words:


    ��You said she looks a bit like me? Are you sure?��


    "Sure."


    Luo An frowned slightly. After he and Mona came to the slot machine, the "emotional perception" in his mind noticed that the other party paused for a moment, then turned and left. He quickly exceeded the range of "emotional perception" and disappeared among the gamblers. .


    What else did Mona want to ask? Luo An thought for a moment, raised a finger to cover her mouth, and whispered:


    ��As if this never happened, let��s go on to eat.


    ?It��s hard to do anything in a casino because there are so many people there, that person will definitely come back later. "


    ��OK.��


    ?Seeing the look in Luo An''s hand, Mona nodded and smiled again on her face. She pulled Luo An out, smiling and discussing with Luo An what she wanted to eat later.


    ? Las Vegas is a large tourist city with countless hotels and restaurants. In order to entertain ordinary tourists, the prices of the dishes are generally not very high, with most dishes ranging from a few dollars to more than a hundred dollars.


    Luo An just won more than two thousand dollars in the casino. This time he and Mona did not go to ordinary restaurants, but went to a famous steak restaurant and saw and ate several pieces of standard steak "without antibiotics and hormones" .


    Luo An couldn''t taste the difference between these steaks and the ordinary steaks sold outside. Even because the chef used molecular gastronomy, Luo An chewed them hard a few times and felt that they were not as delicious as the steaks sold outside.


    ??But the beef ribs, shrimp cold cuts and raw oysters in this restaurant were so good that Luo An ate a pound of them.


    ?After dinner, Luo An and Mona walked slowly to the hotel where they lived while exploring the brightly lit night view of the Las Vegas Strip.


    The journey was uneventful, and Luo An didn''t notice the person following them, as if that person had completely given up on the matter.


    ?


    ?Walking all the way to the parking lot of the hotel where the two lived, Mona breathed a sigh of relief.


    Raising her head, she was about to express her thoughts to Luo An when Luo An suddenly raised his brows slightly, pressed Mona''s slender waist lightly, then pulled Mona to lean against a parked red car, lowered his head and kissed her. Go down.


    ?Mona was stunned for a moment, but she subconsciously catered to her needs. Under Luo An''s guidance, the two of them moved entangled and gradually moved to the driver''s seat of the car.


    Suddenly, Luo An pinched Mona''s waist lightly. Mona''s expression suddenly became clear. Before she could ask questions, Luo An pushed her to the side, then opened the driver''s door of the red car and pulled her out. A young woman.


    ?The young woman is wearing a red backless dress. She has a curvy figure and long and slender legs. Her whole person has an indescribable sense of temperament.


    The young woman who was suddenly pulled out of the car screamed in panic. Luo An ignored her at all. His right leg firmly clamped the opponent''s thigh that was kicked from the side, and his right hand pinched both of the opponent''s arms and pressed her to the ground. With his back to Mona, Luo An said coldly:


    ��Mona, go look in her handbag!��


    From the moment he entered the parking lot, Luo An felt the same emotional fluctuations as when he was in the casino, and as he and Mona got closer, the emotional fluctuations became bigger and bigger. It was obvious that the other person was the same person who was following them in the casino. personal.


    ��OK!��


    The woman''s face was turned away from Mona, so Mona couldn''t see her clearly. After hearing Luo An''s words, Mona quickly went to the driver''s seat of the car to look for her bag.


    The woman who was pinned down by Luo An screamed when she saw this:


    "Damn it! I''m going to call the police! You two robbers..." Luo An chuckled, glanced at the young woman''s long legs calmly, and said with a smile:


    ��I am the FBI. If you have anything, you can tell me.��


    Young woman: ������


    ??Mona soon found the other party''s handbag in the car, which contained a folding dagger, a pistol, three photos of Roan and a dozen photos of Mona.


    ?Mona didn��t pay too much attention to these things. All her attention was attracted by the woman��s driver��s license and passport.


    ??The name on the driver''s license is Celeste, and the name on the passport is Carol. It is not difficult to guess that these are two fake names.


    But the two documents showed the face of the same woman, and this woman''s face was very similar to Mona.


    Mona''s pupils shrank, and she quickly exited the car and walked to the front of Luo An and the woman. She squatted down and saw that the other person''s face was almost 50% similar to hers. Mona''s face was extremely cold, and she asked in a solemn voice:


    "Who are you?"


    ??The young woman glanced at Mona, took a deep breath, and said:


    ��Let go of me first, I have no ill intentions towards you.��


    ��But these things in your bag don��t seem to mean that.��


    ??Luo An clamped the young woman''s hands with his right hand, bent down, picked up the pistol with his left hand pretending to be injured, and said with a smile:


    ��For self-defense?��


    ��This is the Federation, how can a woman protect herself without a gun?��


    The young woman was justified, and Mona��s face became even more gloomy:


    ��Answer me, who are you?��


    ??The young woman struggled for a moment, raised her head and glanced at the face of Mona in front of her, which was 50% similar to her own. She was silent for a few seconds and said the same thing:


    ��Let me go and I will speak.��


    ??Mona was about to ask when she saw this, but Luo An suddenly heard the voice of a security guard not far away, so he threw his handbag to Mona, and then knocked the young woman unconscious.


    Standing up and carrying the other party on his shoulders, Luo An said:


    ��Someone is here, please go back to your room first and ask again later.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona nodded, followed Luo An, avoided passers-by through the back door of the hotel, and secretly returned to the hotel room where the two lived.


    ??In the room, Luo An tore down the curtains and tied the young woman to a chair. Mona was more direct, getting some water from the bathroom and throwing it on the young woman''s face.


    ����


    ??The young woman woke up instantly. Luo An sat aside and studied the items in the handbag. Mona had a cold face, folded her hands on her chest, and still had the same question:


    "Tell me who you are?"


    "damn it!"


    ??The young woman opened her eyes and saw that she was tied to the chair. She cursed in a low voice. She glanced at Luo An first, then looked at Mona, stared into Mona''s eyes, and replied:


    ��My name is Caroline. Caroline Evans.��


    Hearing this name, Luo An paused and frowned at the young woman, because Mona''s full name was Mona Evans.

 Chapter 419： Mona Evans, Caroline Evans

    Chapter 419 Mona Evans, Caroline Evans


    ??The tenth floor of a hotel in Las Vegas.


    ??In the living room of a certain suite, a woman wearing a red backless dress was tied to a chair. Her two long and slender thighs were very eye-catching.


    ??The hair on her forehead was messed up by the water, and the makeup on her face was also soaked with water. The pretty face that was 50% similar to Mona not only did not become ugly because of the makeup, but became more attractive.


    ��You said your name was Caroline Evans?��


    ??Looking at Mona who was silent, Luo An asked in a serious voice:


    ��What is your relationship with Jawari Evans?��


    ??Jawari Evans is Mona��s biological father, whom Mona has not seen for many years. (Chapter 49)


    ��He is my father.��


    ?Caroline didn��t look at Roan, but still stared at Mona and answered the question:


    ��So, Mona Evans, you should call me sister.��


    "impossible."


    ??This time, before Luo An could speak, Mona also stared at Caroline and said:


    "I have no sisters. My mother only gave birth to me. I''m pretty sure of that."


    ?Caroline��s face is very similar to Mona��s. People who don��t know will definitely think that she and Mona are twins.


    ??But when Mona was sorting out her mother''s belongings, she saw the hospital test report when her mother was pregnant, the hospital''s certificate of birth, and other documents, which all showed that Mona''s mother was only pregnant with Mona.


    Caroline twisted a few times, changed into a more comfortable position, and said softly:


    ��It has nothing to do with your mother, I am your father��s adopted child.��


    Caroline said that when she was seven years old, she was trafficked to Western Europe. After Javari Evans led a team to destroy the criminal organization, he saw that she looked very similar to Mona when she was a child, so he began to help her contact her family. .


    "But my biological parents died in the war, so your father adopted me."


    Caroline said calmly:


    ��To satisfy his father��s love that he cannot return to the Federation and cannot see his biological daughter.��


    ����


    ??Mona had a dull face and said nothing. Before Roan could continue to ask questions, Caroline continued to stare at Mona closely and said:


    "Your father sent me to the home of a down-and-out nobleman in Europe. He funded my education and allowed me to learn piano, violin, ballet, German, English, French, Japanese, Chinese and even Latin. When I was 18 years old, he also provided money. Help me open a music store..."


    At the end of the sentence, Caroline smiled and said in a deep voice:


    "Of course, when our father needs it, I will also go to some banquets and help him get some information. I will be a socialite in appearance and a spy in reality."


    ����Fu-k!��


    ?After listening to Caroline''s description, Mona looked into her eyes and was silent for a long time, cursed in a low voice, left the living room and walked into the bedroom and started typing on her laptop.


    ??Looking at Mona''s back, Luo An pulled up a chair and sat across from Caroline, and asked with a smile:


    ��So, if you don��t live in Europe, why do you come to the Federation to find us?��


    Roan did not comment on Javari Evans'' behavior. He just wanted to find out why Caroline followed them.


    ? Seeing Luo An sitting in front of her, the cold look on Caroline''s face disappeared, replaced by a beautiful smile and said:


    ��Roan Greenwood, leader of the Special Investigation Team of the FBI��s Los Angeles branch, is young and promising, handsome and athletic, the FBI��s rising star����


    ? Luo An smiled and waved his hands, indicating that he would like to hear more of the compliments he received.


    ?Caroline was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes slightly and concluded:


    ����and he is very thick-skinned and not very gentlemanly.��


    ��The so-called gentlemanly demeanor is nothing more than a sanctimonious fa?ade used by some people to cover up their barbaric ignorance and do anything for their own interests.��


    ?Luo An spread his hands and said with a smile:


    ��I treat my friends well and my enemies badly. It doesn��t matter to me whether my enemy is a man or a woman.


    So you don��t need to try to take the moral high ground and use your words to suppress me. It��s useless. I don��t care. "


    Caroline raised her eyebrows:


    ��You don��t care about morality, even if your girlfriend is next to you, you stare at other women��s thighs? And this woman is your girlfriend��s sister?��


    ��Wow, that��s an accusation that scares a man.�� Luo An stared at Caroline for a moment and smiled:


    ��Caroline, you are a very beautiful woman.��


    "Thanks."


    ��But you are troubled inside.��


    ?Luo An leaned back on the chair and said:


    ��If what you just described is true, then you must have been very afraid for so many years, afraid of being hurt again, afraid of being abandoned again.


    That''s why you suppress yourself and study hard just to show your usefulness.


    You are very beautiful, and there was no shortage of male pursuits during this period, but you don��t know how you will be arranged. A woman��s first time is sometimes very useful, so you rejected those men.


    During this period, you discovered that the best way to reject a man who pursues you as quickly and successfully as possible is to show your aggression.


    Over time, whenever you find that a man makes you feel uneasy and troublesome, you will subconsciously show aggression to make yourself look less weak, right? "


    ?Looking at the smiling Luo An in front of her, Caroline''s face froze slightly, and after a few seconds of silence she smiled again:


    ��It seems that Team Leader Greenwood is a very confident man.��


    ��Only at certain times.��


    ??Luo An poured a glass of water, brought it to Carola''s mouth, helped her take a sip, and then said:


    ��Although it is very unfair, in this world, women often cannot solve problems on their own. Sometimes it is the right thing to show your weak side appropriately, and it will not make people look down upon.��


    After drinking the water, Caroline stared at Luo An and laughed softly:


    ��Is this why Mona likes you? Will you always protect her?��


    ?Seeing the glimmer of light in Caroline''s eyes, Luo An smiled and did not answer. He put the water glass aside and said:


    ��Stop beating around the bush and tell the truth. What happened to you in Europe?��


    Caroline was silent for a while and said:


    ��My and Mona��s father has disappeared.��


    In the bedroom, Mona, who had been listening to the conversation in the living room with her ears pricked up, paused, frowned, and then the sound of typing on the keyboard became faster than before.


    Luo An looked slightly moved and asked:


    ��What exactly is going on?��


    "I have no idea."


    Caroline shook her head and said that Javari Evans would talk to her on the phone every two or three days. If there was time for holidays, they would have a meal together. If there was no time, they would make a phone call to explain the situation. Over the years, Never stopped.


    But since Christmas night, Javari-Evans has lost contact. No matter whether Caroline uses her own mobile phone, hidden numbers or other backup methods, she cannot contact him.


    Even what Caroline knew about, Javari Evans��s men, disappeared, as if they had evaporated without a trace.


    ?Just when Caroline was at a loss, she suddenly received a package signed by Javari Evans.


    ?At this moment, Mona came over with her laptop in her arms, glanced at Caroline, then turned her gaze to Luo An, and said with a complicated expression:


    ��I��ve checked her identity and found no problems so far, and I can��t contact my father now.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An nodded and then asked:


    ��What��s in the package?��


    ?Caroline sighed and revealed the contents of the package. Roan frowned and Mona''s face instantly darkened.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 420： [The case of Mona’s father’s disappearance and severed hand]

    Chapter 420 [Mona��s father��s disappearance and severed hand incident]


    ?Las Vegas, a room on the tenth floor of a hotel.


    ??Mona just checked Caroline''s personal information through the computer, and the content displayed above was correct to what Caroline said, so Mona temporarily determined that Caroline was telling the truth and did not lie to them.


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Caroline sighed and said:


    ��Inside the package was a severed hand and a note.


    Through a small scar on the severed hand, I recognized it as my father Gyawali��s left hand.


    There is only one word "Help" on the note. "


    ����


    ?Hearing that Javari Evans'' left hand was cut off, Luo An remained silent. Mona''s face became very ugly. After thinking about it, she asked in a solemn voice:


    ��Why don��t you contact the CIA?��


    ��How do I contact the CIA?��


    Caroline asked:


    ��I have never been in contact with any CIA other than my father in these years, and I have never met those people at all.


    ??And my gut tells me that there is something wrong with that letter. "


    Caroline said that if the package was mailed by his father himself, why would he put his severed hand in and cut it off to prove his identity?


    ?Isn''t this method too irritable? Jawali can write a little thing that only he and Caroline know to prove his identity.


    ��I don��t know who to turn to for help.��


    ?Caroline glanced at Roan, stared at Mona, and said:


    ��My father told me about you before, saying that he had a daughter in the Federation who made him uneasy and joined the FBI.


    Since you are in the FBI, you must have more connections and means than me. I came to the federation this time just to tell you the news.


    As for whether to avenge my father and how to avenge, it is up to you to decide. I really want to avenge my father, but my ability is really limited and I cannot do this. "


    Looking at the face in front of her that was five points similar to her own, Mona breathed rapidly and gritted her teeth. She was silent for a few seconds. She stood up suddenly and walked behind Caroline, pulling the chair tied to her and walking to the bathroom.


    Caroline, who was tied to the chair, was startled and shouted:


    ��Wait a minute, wait a minute, what are you going to do?��


    ��Let you stay in the bathroom for a while.��


    ??Mona locked Caroline in the bathroom with a chair with a cold face, then returned to the living room, hugged Luo An tightly, her eyes were red, her whole body was trembling and she asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, what should I do?��


    Mona is not actually a particularly independent person. Many times she takes the initiative to do something because something forces her.


    ?For example, she became an FBI because she learned that her father, Jawali, was a CIA agent, and Mona joined in order to take revenge on him.


    There is also superb computer technology. When the two of them took a break and had a heart-to-heart talk after exercising, Luo An learned that Mona was ridiculed and despised by her computer-savvy classmates when she was in school. In order to get rid of her face, she worked hard to study computer hacking technology.


    ?Mona��s feelings for her father, Javari Evans, have always been very complicated.


    Because Jawali rarely went home to see Mona since she was a child, Mona was often scolded by her classmates for being a child without a father. Moreover, her mother suffered in the hospital bed, and Jawali did not come until her death. One look made Mona hate him even more.


    But on the other hand, Gyawali has not cut off Mona��s financial resources for many years. If it weren��t for that money, Mona would not have the money to buy a cemetery for her mother, keep the house left by her mother, and save herself from having to borrow a lot of money. With a college loan, you can successfully complete college.


    Just now, Caroline said in and out of words that Mona was Jawali''s favorite daughter, and it was only because she was afraid that the danger would affect her daughter that she never returned to the Federation... These words made Mona feel even more entangled.


    ??Caressing Mona''s back, Luo An tilted his head and kissed her gently on the face. When Mona stopped shaking, Luo An was silent for a few seconds and said:


    ��Let��s go to Europe together.��


    ?After listening to what Caroline just said, Roan also found that the package was full of weirdness. It was impossible for a veteran like Javari Evans, who had worked in the CIA for so many years, to do such a contradictory thing. It is unclear what the truth behind the package is, but there is a question that has been placed in front of Luo An:


    The fact that Caroline is Jawali''s adopted daughter has been exposed. In addition, Caroline came to the Federation to find Mona. Regardless of whether Caroline''s identity is true or false, it means that Mona and Roan''s identities have been revealed by someone. Some people are watching.


    ??Escape can''t solve the problem. No one can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Instead of sitting at home and waiting for the enemy to come to attack you, or waiting for the enemy to stumble on you secretly, it is better to go to Europe to investigate the situation and face the difficulties head-on.


    Hearing Luo An''s words, Mona was silent for a few seconds, tilted her head and bit Luo An''s lips fiercely, and kissed Luo An like crazy for a moment. She leaned into Luo An''s ear and whispered:


    ��If we come alive this time, you...��


    ��Stop! Stop! Stop!��


    Hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on Luo An''s back. He quickly raised his hand to cover Mona''s mouth, preventing her from setting a flag for herself.


    ??Mona''s eyes widened and she was at a loss. Luo An sighed speechlessly and said:


    ��We will definitely come back alive this time, don��t say this again.��


    ?Mona didn��t understand why, but she nodded anyway, and then Luo An took his hand off her mouth.


    ��Hello?��


    ?At this moment, Caroline��s voice came from the bathroom:


    ��Are you done discussing it? Can you let me go? I need to solve a personal problem!��


    ����


    Luo An did not answer, but looked down at Mona. Mona looked at the bathroom, then at Luo An, hummed softly, and whispered:


    ��That��s a bad woman, stay away from her, okay?��


    Luo An smiled and nodded in agreement. Mona walked into the bathroom and let Caroline go. After Caroline had resolved her personal conflict, Mona glanced at the red backless dress with a seductive look on Caroline''s body. She thought After thinking about it, he found a new set of clothes from the bedroom that he had just bought but had not yet worn, and asked Caroline to change into them.


    After a moment, looking at Caroline sitting opposite him, wearing sunglasses + long sleeves + trousers + jacket, covering herself tightly, Luo An silently glanced at Mona sitting next to him and said nothing. , coughing slightly, he asked:


    ��Caroline, where did you put the box that was mailed to you?��


    ��In my music shop.��


    Caroline revealed the specific location of the box and learned that Roan and Mona planned to go to Europe to investigate the matter. She was shocked and said:


    ��Aren��t you going to ask someone for help?��


    ��The fewer people know about this, the better.��


    Roan glanced at Caroline meaningfully. Of course he couldn''t fight alone, but he didn''t plan to tell her what to do next because he still couldn''t trust her 100%.


    ?Looking at Luo An on the left, and Mona on the right who listened to Luo An''s instructions during the specific investigation process, Caroline twitched the corner of her mouth and swallowed:


    ��You two are really crazy.


    OK, I can go crazy with you. When will we set off? "


    "Not urgent."


    ??Luo An shook his head, continued to ask Caroline a few questions, and then said:


    ��Before heading to Europe, we need to go to Maine, which lies in the upper right corner of the Commonwealth.��


    ��What?��


    ��Why?��


    Hearing this, not only did Caroline look puzzled, but Mona also showed doubts in her eyes.


    Luo An laughed upon seeing this, handed a copy of the Federal Geographic Magazine to the two of them, and explained:


    ��Because Maine is sparsely populated, has high forest coverage, and is very close to Canada.��

 Chapter 421： Arrival in Europe, severed hand DNA, rich widow

    Chapter 421: Arrival in Europe, DNA of severed hand, rich widow


    A week later, Luo An, who had changed his hairstyle and looked like a tourist, and Mona and Caroline, who wore sunglasses and also looked like tourists, got off a cruise ship from England to Germany.


    ??When it was decided to go to Europe that day, Luo An did not choose to take a plane directly. Instead, he took some money and went to the underground world of Las Vegas to get some fake documents for himself, Mona and Caroline.


    ??Then Luo An took his two daughters to Maine, rented a car, bought some camping supplies, and drove the two daughters into the deep mountains and forests of Maine.


    In a ravine not too far from Canada, Luo An hid the car, smuggled Mona and Caroline into Canada, and then boarded a cruise ship to the UK in Canada, and finally returned to Canada. Arriving via cruise ship in Germany, where Caroline has been.


    ???The reason why Luo An made such a big deal was because he was not sure who was behind this matter. It was too risky to investigate openly and openly, so it was most appropriate to investigate secretly and privately.


    ??This way Luo An can get rid of possible stalkers, and secondly, it can prevent someone from finding his traces later and contact him with the investigation into the cause of Jawali''s disappearance.


    ?Before leaving Las Vegas, Luo An went to the supermarket and drugstore to buy some things, and disguised himself, Mona and Caroline''s faces.


    ??Now that the three people who have successfully arrived in Germany can no longer recognize their original appearance, and the names on their documents have changed to Andrew, Anna and Rhea respectively.


    ??In a certain hotel in Munich, under the envious and jealous eyes of passers-by, Luo An booked a room with Mona and Caroline, and then walked in with his luggage.


    ��OK, successfully arrived in Munich, it��s time to investigate.��


    Luo An threw his luggage on the ground, walked to the window and closed the curtains, turned around and asked:


    ��Caroline, where is your music store exactly?��


    Since he was not sure if anyone was watching the music store, Luo An planned to check it out tonight, and then decide how to enter the music store to retrieve the box based on the situation.


    ��Not far from Goetheplatz.��


    ?Caroline took out a piece of paper and wrote down the specific address and handed it to Luo An, then threw the luggage aside, picked up a few clothes and walked into the shower room to take a shower.


    Out of caution and safety considerations, the three of them have basically been living in the same room all the way. They were a little uncomfortable at first, but as time went by, the embarrassing things and feelings became much less.


    During this period, Luo An and Mona discovered Caroline''s problem. This woman was arrogant and loved to be clean. She would lose her temper if she didn''t take a shower for a day. Luo An was not easy to do anything, but Mona was much more direct and used physical means to persuade Caroline.


    Caroline only knew some basic women''s self-defense skills, and she couldn''t beat Mona. With tears in her eyes and aggrieved, her temper became much less tempered from then on, but every time she had the opportunity to take a shower, she was still the first to take a bath, no matter what. No matter how Mona threatened her, it was of no use.


    ??Selectively ignoring the sound of water coming from the shower room, Luo An called the hotel front desk to bring some food, then looked at Mona and said:


    ��Your father��s public identity in Europe is that of a small antique dealer. Check his personal information, consumption records, travel history, etc., and see if you can find any useful clues.��


    "no problem."


    ?Mona nodded, took out a newly bought high-end laptop from her luggage, and started typing on the keyboard to investigate.


    ��Oh, by the way, there��s one more thing.��


    ?Luo An suddenly slapped his head and said:


    ��Let��s find an institution that can do DNA testing and make an appointment for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.��


    ?)


    ?Mona raised her head with doubts on her face:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Roan touched his chin and expressed his intention to take the severed hand and Mona for a paternity test to see if the hand belonged to Javari Evans.


    Luo An has never met Javari Evans and doesn��t know what his hand looks like. Mona has not seen her father for a long time. The broken hand belongs to Javari Evans. The news came from Caroline. Just in case, it would be right to do a DNA test.


    ??Mona nodded silently after hearing this, and continued to type on the keyboard with her head lowered. Soon the hotel sent food to the room. Roan ate some simple food, took Caroline''s piano store key, and left the hotel for Goethe Square.


    ?More than ten minutes passed before Caroline finished taking a shower, wore long sleeves and long trousers, and walked out while wiping her hair.


    Seeing that there was one less person in the room, Caroline sat next to the food, picked up a sausage and asked while eating:


    ��Luo An has gone to the music store?��


    ??Mona ignored her, and Caroline didn''t care when she saw it. After finishing the food on the table, she walked aside, picked up a notebook, and began to write the translation between French, German and English.


    ??Luo An can speak Chinese and Japanese. After all, in his previous life, he prepared to go to an island country and learned Japanese by himself. After coming to the Federation, he learned English. However, Luo An really didn''t understand French and German.


    But this time I came to Europe, and even though I could use English, it was sometimes not very convenient. It happened that Caroline knew almost all the languages ??in Europe, so Luo An asked her to do a favor and teach him French and German.


    Caroline didn''t think that Luo An could learn much in such a short time, but if he could learn a little, it might be useful at a critical moment, so Caroline began to write down words and sentences in her notebook, teaching Luo An little by little. install.


    But what Caroline didn''t expect was that Luo An''s memory was amazing. In less than a week, he had memorized 80% of the words and sentences taught by Caroline. Although there were problems with stuck and missing words, But it is enough for daily communication.


    Lowering her head and writing the text she was going to teach today on her notebook, she thought of how Luo An initially communicated with her in French and German, but his subsequent sentences became more and more fluent, and he even learned some images of words and phrases in classical literature. Caroline Glancing at Mona, an indescribable complex look flashed in her eyes.


    ?Feeling Caroline''s gaze, Mona frowned and raised her head. Upon seeing this, Caroline immediately lowered her head to write again, and just let out a subtle sigh.


    On the other side, Luo An quickly arrived at the piano store near Goethe Square. He did not immediately take the key to open the door and go in. Instead, he bought a cup of coffee, sat on a chair, and read the newspaper nonchalantly.


    As Luo An expected, someone has been secretly observing the piano store in a room above a store diagonally opposite the piano store. That location has a good view and is very suitable for surveillance.


    Because he was not sure of the identity of the other party, in order not to alert the enemy, Luo An did not go upstairs to have a friendly exchange with the other party. Instead, when the sun was about to set and the other party was changing people, he drank a bottle of Feather Drop Potion and flipped to the piano from the roof of the third floor. Sneak into the second floor window at the back of the house, find the box, and leave along the roof again.


    The next day, with the help of the check, Luo An and Mona got the DNA test report of the severed hand that afternoon.


    The report shows that the blood test results of the owner of the severed hand and Mona reached 99.99%, which can confirm that the other party and Mona are parent-child.


    ?Seeing this result, Mona looked very unhappy. Luo An put his arm around her waist, comforted her in a low voice, and then said:


    ��Let��s investigate the reason for your father��s disappearance and find out the last mission he performed before his disappearance, and we should be able to find him.��


    ��By the way, I discovered something.��


    ??Mona nodded, put the test report aside, typed on the computer a few times and said:


    ��My father��s consumption record shows that he has purchased high-end cosmetics, flowers and hotel rooms many times.


    I checked the hotel and found that every once in a while, he would go to that hotel with a woman to book a room. "


    ����


    Roan scratched his head and did not comment on Javari Evans'' private life. He looked down at the photos of women that Mona had found. Before he could finish them, Caroline next to him suddenly exclaimed:


    ��I��ve seen this woman! I��ve seen her at a cocktail party!��


    "what does she do?"


    ��I��m sorry, I forgot, but I remember she was rich and a widow.��

 Chapter 422： Mrs. Hanover, the Exploding Safe House

    Chapter 422 Mrs. Hanover, the exploding safe house


    The capital of Austria, Vienna.


    As a famous music capital in the world, Vienna has always been known as the center of art and gorgeous Baroque architecture. It is the city with the highest quality of life in the world, and the famous Golden Hall is located here.


    In the evening, Isabella Hanover, who is nearly fifty but has a proud temperament and is wearing a brand new high-end dress. After listening to the music played in the hall, she simply socialized with others for a while, and then returned to her car under the **** of bodyguards.


    ? Sitting in the back seat of the Bentley Continental, the car slowly started to move forward as usual. Isabella Hannover, who was lowering her head to fix her makeup, suddenly frowned and realized that the car was traveling in the wrong direction.


    Slowly closing the makeup box, she looked up at the driver and asked calmly:


    ��Who are you? Where is my driver?��


    "Good evening, Mrs. Hanover. Your driver is in the trunk of the car. He is fine. He just fainted."


    Luo An, who was driving, drove the car slowly to a villa on the outskirts of Vienna and explained in a calm tone:


    ��The matter is somewhat urgent, please forgive me for being too direct this time.��


    Roan had previously asked Mona to investigate Isabella Hanover''s information, and found that she was born in a noble family in Europe, and her husband was also an established European aristocrat. He died of cancer a few years ago.


    Luo An didn''t look up to these so-called nobles, and he wasn''t too cold about it, but it was not easy to meet them. Caroline said before that she could try to contact Isabella Hanover, but then the other party''s personal secretary asked her to meet them. The time is scheduled for one month later.


    Since the official channel was unavailable, Luo An was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked Mona to find out Isabella Hannover''s itinerary in the past few days. Then he arrived at the parking lot outside the Vienna Golden Hall at night, knocked out the driver and stuffed it into the trunk. .


    ��This is one of my estates.��


    Mrs. Hanover did not show the slightest worry or fear. Seeing the scenery outside the car window gradually becoming familiar, she calmly pressed the button on the cosmetics, carefully looked at Luo An who was driving, and asked:


    ��What are you looking for me for tonight?��


    ��We are not aiming at you, Mrs. Hanover.��


    ??Luo An drove the car into the villa area, followed closely by a Beetle, and slowly parked the car at the entrance of the guest building. Luo An got out of the car, pulled the back seat door, handed his hand to her, and explained:


    ��Mr. Garrett is missing, and we hope to get some clues about him from you.��


    Gellert, the disguised European name of Jawari Evans.


    ��Gellert is missing?��


    ?Putting her hand into Luo An''s, Mrs. Hanover slowly walked out of the back seat of the car, tilted her head and glanced at the Beetle behind her, and two young women got out of it.


    ??A woman was carrying a computer that she had never seen before, and the other woman looked familiar to her. Mrs. Hanover frowned and thought for a few seconds before saying:


    ��I seem to have seen you somewhere.��


    The woman who looked familiar to Mrs. Hanover was Caroline. Today, only Roan and Mona had done some camouflage makeup. Caroline did not. After hearing the other party''s words, she smiled and said the name of the charity dinner together, indicating that they We met then.


    ��OK.��


    Mrs. Hanover nodded, turned and walked into the villa hall, saying as she walked:


    ��I haven��t contacted Gellert for a long time. I thought he was like some men and found other women, but I didn��t expect that he disappeared... It��s really a news that makes women feel complicated.��


    Luo An followed him into the guest room, took two wine glasses and ordered some wine, handed Mrs. Hanover a glass, took a sip himself, and then expressed his suspicion that Mr. Garrett had buried a child here in Isabella Hanover. I got some clues and wanted to look them up.


    ?According to Mona''s investigation, Javari Evans often comes in and out of this villa, and it is very likely that there is something he hides here.


    ��OK, you can do whatever you want.��


    Mrs. Hanover sat on the sofa and took the wine glass and nodded, telling some places where Jawali often went. Luo An gave Mona next to him a look, and first handed the computer that Jawali had touched to Mona, and then he Then he went upstairs to search again.


    Seeing Mona lowering her head to fiddle with the computer, Mrs. Hanover turned her eyes to Caroline who was doing nothing and asked with a smile:


    ��What is your relationship with Gellert?��


    ��I am his adopted daughter, and they are private detectives that I paid a lot of money to hire.��


    ?According to Roan��s instructions before the operation, Caroline revealed her identity, which was used to gain Isabella Hannover��s trust on the one hand, and to cover up Roan and Mona on the other. ��Adopted daughter?��


    Mrs. Hanover frowned slightly when she heard this. She looked at Caroline carefully. She snorted and said:


    ��It seems that Gellert told me a lot of lies.��


    ��All men��s mouths are like this.��


    Caroline answered the other party with a smile, and the two began to chat slowly. At the same time, Luo An found several books that were placed in a special way in a study room on the second floor of the villa.


    Opening the book, Luo An found some old landscape photos with the following names tagged inside. After listing them together, he found that the numbers and letters in these names formed several latitude and longitude coordinates.


    After continuing to search for a while, Luo An, who found nothing else useful, returned to the first floor and handed these longitude and latitude coordinates to Mona for her to investigate.


    Looking up, he found Caroline and Mrs. Hanover moving to the window to chat. Roan picked up the wine glass and walked to the two of them. After a brief chat, he suddenly said:


    ��Mrs. Hanover, it��s too cold by the window, so go back to the sofa.


    In addition, I asked my companion to block the car and the private positioning signal you sent. Those people you are waiting for will not be here in a short time, so there is no need to wait and see. "


    Caroline was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and subconsciously turned to look at Mrs. Hanover. She found that her face changed slightly, and the smile on her face quickly disappeared. She glared at Luo An, gave Caroline the wine glass in her hand, and turned around. Sitting back on the sofa.


    Luo An laughed and didn''t care. He did this to buy time and look for clues related to Javari Evans. What he lacked most now was time. He didn''t want to waste time fighting with Mrs. Hanover''s men first. .


    Mrs. Hanover sat on the sofa and stopped talking this time, and looked at Caroline quietly. Caroline was a little stiff under her gaze, and an unnatural smile slowly appeared on her face.


    Upon seeing this, Luo An poured another glass of wine for Mrs. Hanover and handed it to her, blocking Mrs. Hanover''s sight with his body.


    Mrs. Hanover took the wine glass, looked at Luo An with squinted eyes for a few seconds, and said softly:


    ��You don��t look like a private detective.��


    ��This shows that my disguise was successful.��


    Luo An clinked his wine glass with Mrs. Hanover and said with a smile:


    ��If people can tell at a glance that I��m a private detective, how can I still get along in this business?��


    ��That makes sense.��


    Hanover nodded noncommittally. At this moment, Mona next to him suddenly raised his hand:


    ��Boss, I��ve discovered something here.��


    Roan and Caroline hurried over after hearing this, and Mrs. Hanover also came over. She was also curious about what Javari had hidden in her villa.


    ��Here are the coordinates of a safe house, just on the other side of Vienna.��


    ?Mona didn��t show off and directly put a photo of a house on the computer screen.


    ??But before Luo An could speak, Mona then placed another photo of the ruins on the computer screen and continued with a stern face:


    ��But this safe house was destroyed eleven days ago. The Vienna police case report stated that the house was blown up by high explosives.��


    ��Eleven days ago?��


    Roan looked at Caroline, who frowned:


    ��I started to lose contact with my father, and it started from that day.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 423： The discovery of the safe house, the disk in the hotel

    Chapter 423 The discovery of the safe house, the disk in the hotel


    ��High explosives?!��


    Looking at the information on Mona��s computer, Mrs. Hanover frowned, turned to look at Luo An, and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��Who is Gellert? Who are you?��


    Normal people would not use the word safe house, nor would they associate it with such things as high explosives.


    ?At the same time, lights suddenly lit up in the distance of the villa, and the roar of several cars sounded from the distance. Mrs. Hanover''s security personnel finally found the place.


    ��What is Mr. Gellert��s identity? It is more appropriate for him to answer this question himself.


    As for me, I''m just an ordinary private detective. "


    Roan smiled and replied to Mrs. Hanover, patted Mona and Caroline on the shoulders, and the two women quickly put away their computers and other items, got up and ran into the Bentley Continental outside.


    Mrs. Hanover was about to ask something else. Luo An picked up the $100,000 bottle of Patrus red wine that had not been finished on the table, walked quickly to the Bentley Continental, waved to her with a smile, and said:


    ��The wine was nice, thank you for the hospitality. Goodbye, Mrs. Hanover.��


    After saying that, Luo An got into the driver''s seat of the Bentley Continental. The next second, the car roared fiercely, like a dark cheetah, nimbly shuttled among the pursuit of several cars, and left the place in the blink of an eye. area.


    "damn it!"


    With a large number of people, we finally found the security director here. His face was extremely ugly when he saw this scene.


    ??The housekeeper who rushed here waved his hand for him to chase after him quickly. At the same time, he quickly ran to Mrs. Hanover and asked nervously:


    ��Madam, are you okay?��


    "fine."


    Looking at the car lights disappearing in the distance, Mrs. Hanover raised her lips slightly, turned back to the villa, and said:


    ��There��s no need to chase him, let him come back.��


    ??The butler frowned slightly, but did not raise any objection. Mrs. Hanover thought for a while, then told the butler the names of Gellert and Caroline, and said:


    ��Find out the relationship between them. In addition, Gellert is missing, check this matter out.��


    ��Yes, ma��am.��


    ?In the distance, the Bentley Continental swerved left and right on the road, and soon lost sight of the cars following it.


    Caroline, who was in the passenger seat, didn''t feel any worry or fear because she was still not used to the way Luo An drove. At this time, she was holding a bag that Luo An had prepared for her in advance, lowering her head and vomiting.


    After vomiting a few times, Caroline''s face turned pale, she raised her head and asked:


    ��Luo An, aren��t you worried about Mrs. Hanover asking someone to investigate my father��s disappearance, so as to arouse suspicion?��


    ��What I want is for her to alert the enemy.��


    ??Roan gently patted Caroline on the back. Mrs. Hanover was a wealthy old aristocrat with a wide network of connections. She would definitely be able to find out something if she wanted to.


    Even if she alerts someone, she still has the ability and confidence to protect herself. Luo An and others are not that powerful, so they can stand behind Mrs. Hanover to hide themselves and protect themselves, and at the same time see who is being alerted.


    ??Glancing at Caroline, Mona, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, holding her laptop, asked with a serious face:


    "The safe house was blown up and the clues were broken again. Mrs. Hanover may not have any clues in a short time. Luo An, what should we do next?"


    ��Let��s go back to the hotel first. I��ll go check out the ruins later. Maybe I can find something.��


    Luo An replied casually, and then parked the Bentley Continental on a street in Vienna. The two women immediately got out of the car and walked to a small alley not far away as originally planned.


    ??Luo An got out of the car and walked behind the Bentley Continental and opened the trunk. Inside was a middle-aged white man wearing a white lining, his mouth was gagged, and he had a big nose.


    He was the original driver of this car. When he saw Luo An''s face, his eyes widened and he screamed.


    "Stop yelling." Luo An took off his suit jacket, which was originally the other person''s suit jacket, threw it back to him, and said with a smile:


    ��The car is good, but the gas is almost running out. Remember to refuel later.��


    After saying that, Luo An took out a dagger and threw it to the other party, then turned and left towards the alley not far away.


    There was a car that had been prepared at the end of the alley. Mona and Caroline waited for a while, and Luo An got into the driver''s seat, started the car and left.


    ?The car slowly stopped next to the hotel. Caroline covered her mouth again and ran out of the car. Luo An looked at her speechlessly, then turned back to Mona and said:


    ��You guys go back to your room first and check your father��s consumption records to see if there are any other clues.


    I''ll go check out that safe house and come back later. "


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona got out of the car holding her laptop, and Luo An stepped on the accelerator and drove the car towards the other side of the city of Vienna.


    Ten minutes later, Luo An arrived at the safe house and found that the scene there was completely different from the scene in the photo.


    Not only have bricks and **** been cleared away, but construction has begun again and building materials have been prepared.


    ����


    Luo An walked around with a speechless expression, but found nothing useful, and unlike the last time at the piano store, he didn''t find anyone watching here.


    Turning around to leave, Luo An suddenly discovered that there was a locked house diagonally opposite the safe house, which was the most suitable location for monitoring the safe house.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An moved to the back of the house and looked inside through the glass. He keenly noticed that there were some hairline-thick lines on the windows and doors.


    With a flash of light in his eyes, he turned on "Emotional Perception" and found no sign of anyone inside. Luo An immediately turned over and entered the room, and soon found a hidden secret room in the ordinary basement.


    There were some dusted weapons and bullets in the secret room, some photos and papers on the wall, and a computer that couldn''t be turned on without power.


    ��He is also a person who likes to play with matryoshka dolls.��


    ?Luo An chuckled, found a pocket, packed all these things and took them back to the hotel.


    Just after returning to the hotel room, before Luo An could speak, Mona, who was sitting with Caroline, suddenly raised her head and said loudly:


    ��Luo An, I found a new clue here!��


    ?Luo An took the things he had just found aside, walked to Mona and asked:


    ��What clue?��


    ??Mona said that Caroline had just discovered that Javari''s consumption records showed that every time he and Mrs. Hanover went to the hotel, it was the day after he had a phone call with Caroline.


    Jawali would not tell Caroline what his mission was, but he would say that he was going on a business trip.


    Mona invaded the hotel system and checked the records, and found that under normal circumstances, Jawali used his own ID to book a room, but the day before each business trip, the name used to book a room was Mrs. Hanover, and Jawali would be in the hotel. Handle storage business.


    ��Mona, could you edit a few sentences using the hotel manager��s voice?��


    ?Mona was stunned for a moment, then nodded suddenly and said:


    "no problem!"


    When Mona was ready, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called the hotel manager. He said that he was the regional manager of a multinational company and was going to book a banquet at that hotel. He discussed with the hotel manager whether the hotel could host it. time.


    Two hours later, through Mona editing and forging the audio of the hotel manager''s speech, the hotel front desk accepted Luo An''s identity as Gyawali''s secretary, took Luo An into the semi-basement of the hotel, and handed over the items stored by Gyawali. Got him.


    ?The thing was not big, just a disk in a box. Mona used the drive to open the disk. After a moment, she said in surprise:


    ��Luo An, the contents of the disk and the computer you brought back are all new tasks that my father received some time ago.


    But the content of the two documents is very different... No, the content is roughly the same, but the logic is completely different. It can be said to be completely opposite! "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 424： The document is authentic and false, return to Munich, music store

    Chapter 424: Authenticity of documents, return to Munich, music shop


    Vienna, a hotel room.


    After handing the disk to Mona, Luo An sat next to her and sorted out the items found in the house next to the safe house.


    In two of the boxes, Luo An found two P9s pistols equipped with silencers.


    P9s, one of the world''s famous pistols, is famous not only for its high shooting accuracy and reliability, but the most important thing is that it uses a rifle-style roller locking device, which makes it a snap after firing. The muzzle jitter is very small, and coupled with a silencer, it immediately becomes the world''s top assassination pistol.


    ??Luo An liked these two pistols very much, but he briefly looked at them and put them aside because he found that the height of the box was wrong and there was something inside.


    Taking out the soft pad that cushioned the pistol, I found that there was still a layer underneath.


    Open the mezzanine, and there are three pocket glass bottles in each of the two boxes, filled with milky white potion.


    ?Caroline, who had been sitting next to Luo An, saw this and asked curiously:


    ��What is this? Poison?��


    "maybe."


    Luo An picked up one of them and shook it. There was no writing on the glass bottle, and he couldn''t guess what the milky white liquid inside was.


    ?At this moment, Mona, who was sitting at the table not far away, figured out the contents of the disk and called Luo An in surprise to check it out.


    ��Contrary logic?��


    ?Luo An quickly moved to Mona''s side and bent down to look at the computer screen.


    Just as Mona said, the contents of the two documents are roughly the same, and both introduce a criminal organization.


    ??The organization''s main business is human trafficking, transporting more than 100,000 women and children every year from South America, the Middle East, East Asia, Africa and other places to the leisure industry in Western Europe and other places around the world.


    ?At the same time, the organization is also involved in side businesses such as human bone trading, counterfeit medicine, smuggling, and money laundering.


    Some time ago, an agent from the Commonwealth who infiltrated the organization was exposed as a traitor and gave away a lot of information, which put a large number of agents in danger and even implicated the CIA. Because wherever there is chaos, there is CIA and they are also here. There are people buried in criminal organizations.


    The CIA doesn''t care what the Commonwealth thinks. Having lost many people, the CIA now just wants to get rid of that traitorous guy, so this task was assigned to Jawali Evan who had submitted his retirement application and agreed to do the last task. On Sri Lanka.


    ?These are the messages in the disk that Luo An found. The mission requirement is for Javari to lead a team to eliminate the traitors.


    ??But the files on the computer in the basement showed that Gyawali knew the traitorous agent when he was young, and the injured agent also had his friends.


    ?Learning about this, Gyawali took the initiative to apply for a mission to eliminate traitors and rescue other trapped CIA agents.


    ? CIA headquarters thought twice and agreed to Gyawali��s request and gave him some necessary information, as well as a specific action plan and instructions for next steps.


    ������x3


    ?In front of the computer, Caroline looked left and right with confusion on her face, not understanding what the two documents were about.


    ??Mona was shocked and confused. Her mind was so confused that she couldn''t figure out which was true and which was false. She subconsciously raised her head and turned her eyes to Luo An.


    ?Luo An held his chin and pondered for a while, then suddenly let out a chuckle and said:


    ��Download the files on the laptop and put them aside. We will focus on the files on the disk next.��


    Caroline suddenly realized:


    ��You mean, the files on the disk are real? What about the files on the laptop?��


    ��No, I suspect both documents are fake.��


    ??Luo An shook his head slightly, but did not give a detailed explanation to Caroline who was scratching her head. He just said casually:


    ��In this case, distinguishing between true and false is not the most important thing, choosing which one to take as the next action plan is the first priority.��


    ??Mona was silent for a few seconds with a twinkle in her eye. After sorting out the files on the disk, she looked at the traitor information, criminal organization information and other information inside, and asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ?Although we now know the general mission of Jawali, we still don��t know where he is now, whether he is alive or dead.


    How to find him and where to find him are the key issues.


    ��Go back to Germany and go to the piano store.�� Roan patted Mona on the shoulder, looked at Caroline, and said with a smile:


    ��Don��t forget, your music store still has clues that we haven��t checked yet.��


    ??Mona nodded and immediately stood up to pack things with Luo An. Next to her, Caroline, who had always had a confused look on her face, became even more confused:


    ��Luo An, what on earth are you going to say?��


    ?Caroline didn''t know the phrase "The Riddler get out of Gotham," but she now felt the mood of the person who said it.


    ����


    One day later, Munich, Germany.


    ?On a street not far from Goethe Square, a piano store with a decoration style very European in the last century stands in front of tourists.


    Because the boss is away, the music store has been closed for a long time. Many tourists who want to go in and visit feel a little regretful. In a room on the third floor diagonally opposite the music store, two white people wearing casual sportswear also feel Very irritable.


    ?The two of them have been observing the music store here for many days, but found nothing. The boss did not let them go back, so they could only stay here boringly.


    Fortunately, there are two of them and can be interchanged at intervals, and the boss is not short of money and gave them a lot of funds, so that they can order food and have afternoon tea, which can be regarded as relaxing.


    ��So, your target is them.��


    ??In a high-end coffee shop on the other side of Goethe Square, Caroline finally figured out the goal of Luo An''s trip. After thinking about it, she asked with some worry:


    ��How can you tell that these two people are not from the CIA? If they are not from the CIA, who are they?


    ?Also, if you attack them, will it alert them? "


    ��The CIA��s surveillance level is not that bad. Who they are, we will find out later.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, then patted the P9s pistol hidden in his clothes and said to Caroline:


    ��As for alerting the enemy, that��s for sure, but I��ve already found the person who will take the blame.��


    At this time, a waitress in the coffee shop walked out carrying a paper package for a delivery order. Luo An, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked to her side and expressed in German that she was a friend of the person who placed the order and did not need her to deliver the food. .


    ??The waitress didn''t believe it, but after Luo An gave her a tip of 5 euros, the waitress smiled and handed the paper bag to Luo An and said she enjoyed the meal.


    Taking the paper bag, she walked to a room downstairs diagonally opposite the piano store. Mona, who had been waiting for a long time, helped Luo An put on the same clothes as the coffee shop waiter that she had prepared in advance. Then Luo An walked up the stairs and walked He went to the door of the room, knocked on the door, and said in German:


    ��Hello, your scheduled afternoon tea has arrived.��


    ??The two people in the room frowned slightly when they heard the man''s voice and looked at each other. One of the white men with short hair took out a pistol from his waist and slowly moved to the door of the room without opening the door immediately. He asked:


    ��Why has the person changed? Where is the original waiter?��


    ��She stole my job and was transferred by the boss to collect money.��


    Luo An said impatiently:


    ��Can I collect the food? I have to go to other places to deliver the food.��


    ��You wait a moment.��


    The man with the short hair still didn''t open the door. He walked to the landline phone in the room, picked up the phone and called the coffee shop, asking the owner if there was Luo An.


    ??Luo An, who was well prepared, had already asked Mona to cut off the phone line in advance, so the call from the short-haired man was actually made to Mona.


    ??But Mona doesn��t speak German, so Caroline, who speaks German, disguises herself as a coffee shop waiter and confirms Roan��s identity.


    After receiving a positive reply, the short-haired man slightly lowered his guard, but still did not put down the pistol. He just put the pistol behind his back and opened the door to the room.


    "Have a nice meal."


    ??Luo An spoke in German and handed the paper bag to the other party with a smile. Then, when the short-haired man reached out to take the paper bag, he took out a P9s pistol equipped with a silencer from his waist.


    The man with an inch-shaped hair said: "!!"

 Chapter 425： Bullet enchantment, get important clues, Mona

    Chapter 425: Bullet enchantment, important clues obtained, Monaco


    Ever since he obtained [Sleep Potion] and [Weakness Potion], Luo An has been thinking about how to use them.


    [Sleep Potion] Fortunately, it can still be used when suffering from insomnia, but Luo An has never had a clue how to use [Weakness Potion].


    ?Until a few days ago, Luo An suddenly had an idea. He bought a few acupuncture needles, soaked the needles in [Sleep Potion] for a few minutes, and then pricked his arm.


    Soon, a wave of sleepiness came to Luo An''s head, and he fell into a deep sleep without giving him a chance to resist.


    ?More than twenty minutes later, Luo An woke up and looked at the pistol and bullets on the table, with a kind smile on his face.


    ??The moment he saw Luo An take out the P9s pistol, the short-haired man''s pupils shrank, and he quickly threw the paper bag at Luo An and immediately took out the pistol behind him.


    Poof! puff! puff!


    But Luo An was faster than him. He fired three shots without hesitation. With the muffled sound of the bullets passing through the silencer, the right hand, right arm and right shoulder of the short-haired man holding the gun were all hit, and three red flowers burst out. blood flower.


    Immediately afterwards, Luo An kicked the short-haired man in the stomach, kicked him into the room, and smashed the coffee table not far away into pieces.


    The silencer will not completely silence the sound of the gun, but will only reduce it by some decibels, so another white man in sportswear who had been guarding the window heard the sound immediately when Luo An fired.


    ??The white man in sportswear''s expression changed, and he quickly took out a pistol from his waist and turned around, preparing to fire back.


    ??The second after Luo An kicked the short-haired man away, he moved into the room at a ghostly speed. As soon as the man in sportswear turned around and raised his gun, Luo An pulled the trigger of the P9s pistol again.


    Poof! puff!


    ?Three blood flowers bloomed from the right hand and left leg of the white man in sportswear holding the gun respectively. Unable to hold the gun, he roared, suppressed the pain in his left leg, and rushed towards Luo An.


    ??The short-haired man who smashed the coffee table also endured the pain in his right arm, got up from the ground and rushed towards Luo An with his fists waving.


    Suddenly, the two of them suddenly felt that their legs were weak, their waists and knees were weak, as if they had been drained of all their strength after fighting ten times in a row.


    Before Luo An could reach him, the two of them turned pale, leaned forward and hit the ground.


    Immediately afterwards, their eyelids were fighting crazily, and an uncontrollable sleepiness surged into their heads, giving them no chance to resist. In the blink of an eye, they fell into a deep sleep.


    ?Looking at the two snoring guys lying on the ground in front of him, Luo An blew the port of the silencer and smiled:


    ��Sure enough, enchantment is the correct way to open these two potions.��


    Immediately afterwards, Luo An took out another pistol that was not enchanted with bullets, and fired several shots at the place where the man in the suit was standing in the room, the wall and the ground.


    There is no other meaning, I just want the bullets from this P9s pistol to leave traces here, so that those who come to investigate will know what kind of weapon Luo An used.


    Mona and Caroline who walked into the room were dumbfounded and shocked when they saw this scene. Luo An didn''t give them a chance to ask questions. He quickly put away his pistol and motioned for them to simply treat the wounds of the two snoring guys.


    Putting the two of them into the back seat of the car, Luo An quickly dealt with the blood stains and personal belongings in the room in CIA style, making sure that no grass was growing anywhere, and then drove away from the scene with Mona and Caroline quickly.


    ??In the basement of an ordinary house far outside Munich, two people were tied to two chairs in two rooms.


    ?Looking at Caroline, who was excited and excited as she held the rope to tie the two of them up, a strange color flashed in Luo An''s eyes, as if he had discovered something.


    ?Although ordinary bullets are waterproof, they cannot be used after being soaked for more than 24 hours. For caution and safety reasons, Luo An only soaked the bullets in the P9s pistol in [Sleep Potion] and [Weakness Potion] for more than two hours.


    ?This makes the two medicines not particularly effective for a long time. In about an hour, the man with the short hair and the man in sportswear woke up from their chairs.


    ��I found out the identities of these two people.��


    Without rushing to ask questions, Luo An first asked Mona to check the situation of these two people, and learned that their names were Hans and Fuchier, who were German and Czech respectively.


    They have no experience of going to prison for further education, not because they have never committed illegal acts. They have been listed as the prime suspects in first-degree murder, intentional homicide and other cases several times.


    But they did things cleanly, had professionals to help them finish the work, and someone hired professional lawyers for them, so they have been able to get away with it.


    The two of them had not fully recovered after waking up. Although they were angry and frightened about being tied to the chair, they did not have the strength to struggle at all. Mona and Caroline wore masks on their faces. After Caroline briefly introduced their identity information in German, Roan took a dagger and walked into the room where Hans was first.


    ??Neither of them are strong-willed guys, and both of them have a lot of lives in their hands, so Luo An''s interrogation this time is relatively straightforward:


    ?First he took out a bottle of sensitive medicine and poured it into their mouths to amplify their senses and sensitivity to pain. Then Luo An directly used physical means to chat with the other party.


    ?During this period, Luo An also discovered what the bottles of milky white liquid found in the two gun boxes were: an enhanced version of truth serum specially made by the CIA.


    Under the combined influence of the sensitive medicine and the enhanced version of Veritaserum, it didn��t take long for the two of them to tell everything they knew, and they also admitted to all crimes including intentional homicide.


    ??However, the two of them knew nothing about the news related to Javari Evans that Luo An and the others wanted to know most. No matter how Luo An asked, they both said that they had never heard of this name.


    Looking at each other with Caroline and Mona, Roan then asked:


    ��Who sent you to monitor the piano store?��


    ��Our boss.��


    ��What��s your boss��s name?��


    ��Bernykov��Robert.��


    ??Luo An looked back at Mona. Mona immediately opened the computer and typed on the keyboard to investigate the name. Luo An saw this and then asked:


    ��Where is your boss now?��


    "I have no idea."


    With the exact name, and the more and more information Luo An got from the two people, Mona quickly found out the information about Burnekov-Robert.


    ��Robert Burnekov, 43 years old, Czech, owns several companies, and is a very rich man.��


    ??In the living room of the private house above the basement, Mona looked at the information on the computer with a gloomy face and said:


    ��I found in the disk file the personal information of Robert Bernekov who was investigated by the CIA.


    It shows that he is a rich man on the surface, but secretly he is one of the three heads of the international criminal organization in Europe, mainly responsible for business around the Mediterranean.


    The traitorous agent may work under him after his rebellion. "


    Luo An pondered for a while, then asked:


    ��Does the disk contain your father��s thoughts about him?��


    ��No, but Burnekov-Robert��s name is highlighted in red.��


    ??Mona tapped on the keyboard with her fingers for a few seconds, then raised her head and said:


    ��A few days ago, Burnekov-Robert��s arm was injured. The time when he was injured was less than a day apart from the time when he lost contact with my father.��


    ��Wow, what an amazing coincidence.��


    ??Luo An snatched the rope that Caroline had been playing with, thought about it, and asked:


    ��Can you find out where Burnekov-Robert is now?��


    "certainly."


    ??Mona simply tapped the keyboard a few times, showed the computer screen to Luo An, and said:


    ��Just in the south of France, Monaco.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, walked toward the basement with the pistol in his hand, and said as he walked:


    ��Go back and pack your things, we will go to Monaco tomorrow.��


    ��Wait a minute, I have a problem! A serious problem.��


    At this moment, Caroline suddenly raised her hand loudly. Seeing both Roan and Mona looking at her, she said seriously:


    ��If we go to Monaco to find someone, we need to calculate and discuss the money issue first. A bottle of Coke there costs 6 US dollars.��

 Chapter 426： It’s hard to move without money, and the injury on Caroline’s back

    Chapter 426 It��s hard to move without money, the scars on Caroline��s back


    Living in this world may not be possible with only money, but it is absolutely impossible to live without money.


    ??Since the federation went to Europe to investigate the disappearance of Jawali, 80% of the food, clothing, housing, transportation and actions of Luo An and the others were paid for by Caroline.


    ?? Mona does not have much money, and Luo An does have money, but in order to conceal his identity, the money in the account in the federation cannot be touched at all.


    ?On the surface, Caroline, who has a piano shop nearby and investments in many companies in Germany''s Goetheplatz, a famous luxury store area, is indeed the richest of the three.


    ??So when traveling from the Federation to Europe, Caroline took the initiative to propose that in the matter of finding Jawali, Luo An would provide the manpower, Mona would provide the technology, and she would provide the funds. It was fair and reasonable.


    ?Then...Caroline had a toothache and discovered that reality and the movie seemed different.


    ?There are also some spy movies in this world, in which the protagonists are not short of money and can go wherever they want, as if they have never thought about money.


    But when the three of them traveled from Germany to Austria, and then back to Germany from Austria, Caroline was horrified to find that the money in her wallet had shrunk a lot.


    ??Monaco is a country that has always been famous for its high-end tourism, luxury residences and extremely high prices...


    ?Caroline knew that saving people was more important, but when she saw that the money in her account might be cleared or even turned into a negative number, she couldn''t help raising her hand and raising her own question even though her heart was bleeding.


    ?? Mona fell silent after hearing this. This was indeed a problem. She subconsciously turned to look at Luo An. She didn''t know how much money Luo An had, but he was definitely richer than her.


    ??Luo An thought for a while and was about to speak when Mona suddenly remembered something and clapped her hands violently, then typed on the computer keyboard, and finally laughed and said:


    ��You two, I discovered something.��


    "What?"


    ��Since this guy Burnekov-Robert was injured, he has more than a dozen bodyguards around him than before. It seems that we can��t get close to him at all.


    ?But this guy goes to the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco for a whole day every two days. "


    After speaking, Mona looked up and looked at Luo An, who looked at Caroline with a grin:


    ��Sounds like good news. We can not only solve the money problem this time, but also the people problem.��


    ����


    ?Monaco is one of the richest countries in the world, and the gambling industry is the country��s pillar industry.


    ? ?The famous Monte Carlo Casino combines classicism and Baroque style. Its appearance is as luxurious as a palace, with Greek-style stone columns and complex stone carving decorations, which are extremely brilliant under the light.


    The interior decoration of the casino is even more in line with the palace. Marble floors, crystal lamps, embroidered fabrics, German furniture, Asian silks, and Italian artworks make the Monte Carlo Casino comparable to the aristocratic clubs or royal palaces in Paris and Berlin. .


    In order to show the luxurious temperament of their casinos, the early Monte Carlo Casino did not entertain passers-by. To participate in gambling, invitation tickets were required, and gamblers needed to wear formal attire. Men wore suits and ties, and women wore evening gowns.


    It didn��t take long for this rule to disappear into history, but the custom of suits and dresses still remained.


    ??After two days of on-the-spot investigation, it was determined that Burnekov-Robert would go to the Monte Carlo Casino from noon today to tomorrow morning. Luo An carefully formulated the action plan and then started taking action.


    First of all, Luo An asked Mona to get a false identity information for Caroline, from Europe to South America to Africa and even to the East, layer by layer, so that no one could find out Caroline''s true identity in a short time.


    Then, Roan asked Caroline to write a letter in Russian, as a down-and-out nobleman, requesting to meet with Burnekov-Robert, and then asked Mona to disguise her identity and go to the place where Burnekov-Robert lived. Deliver to the other party''s secretary.


    Soon, the other party rejected Caroline''s request to meet. Although the secretary did not directly ridicule Mona, her tone was not good either.


    In a hotel room in Monaco, Caroline, who bought an expensive and high-end dark red dress, put the dress in the bedroom. When she saw Mona returning empty-handed and looking unhappy, she asked in a low voice:


    ��So, we failed?��


    ��On the contrary, it was a success.��


    ??Luo An put aside the high-end black suit he just bought, shook his head with a smile, walked to the table, picked up a few pieces of paper, handed it to Caroline, and said:


    ��This is who you are tonight, remember it.


    ?Then, come and sit down on the chair. I need to draw something on your back. "    "��What''s the meaning? "


    As she asked, Caroline took the paper and sat on the chair in front of Luo An. Just as she was about to lower her head to check, a tingling sensation suddenly came from her right back shoulder, and Caroline screamed in fright. , jumped up subconsciously.


    "do not move!"


    ??Mona walked up to Caroline, pressed her shoulders, pushed Caroline back onto the chair, and said with a smile:


    ��Luo An needs to draw a scar on your shoulder. This is a disguise for your identity tonight.��


    Looking back and seeing the small pointed needle in Luo An''s hand, Caroline swallowed and asked with trembling lips:


    "Are you sure this is a painting? Not a tattoo? It won''t stay on my body forever, will it?"


    ��Don��t worry, I know you girls don��t like scars. Trust me, these things will disappear after being washed and wiped with professional things.��


    Luo An chuckled. This was an ancient technique from the East taught to him by an old killer in his previous life. It looked lifelike for a short time. Afterwards, it was cleaned with a fixed proportion of medicine. After a few days of cultivation, it would not leave any traces.


    But if it is not washed within 48 hours, this thing will remain on the body, and it will be quite troublesome and time-consuming to get rid of it.


    ? ����OK.��


    ?Caroline swallowed and chose to believe Luo An. After a few seconds, she got used to the slight tingling sensation and relaxed her brows. She lowered her head and read the contents of the paper carefully.


    Tonight, Caroline is a woman named Godunova Yevdokhi, a woman from Eastern Europe. Her ancestors are surviving Tsarist Russian aristocrats. Over the generations, her family has saved a lot of money, and there are some in Eastern Europe. A shady industry.


    Because her subordinates did something some time ago, she learned the identity of Burnekov-Robert. This time she came to Monaco to talk to him about cooperation.


    It didn''t take long for Luo An to finish his work. Caroline stood up and looked through the mirror and saw the "scar" nearly 10 centimeters behind her right shoulder. The corner of her mouth twitched:


    ��Does it really need to be this long?��


    ��When a beautiful woman wears an elegant backless dress but has a long scar on her back, she will definitely attract everyone��s attention.


    People will be emotional and curious, wondering where this scar came from.


    When you focus all your attention on one thing, you will ignore some other aspects. "


    ??Luo An stood up, put away the tools and handed them to Mona, walked to Caroline, looked at her in the mirror and smiled:


    ��You are the boss tonight, responsible for attracting attention and diverting attention.


    I am your subordinate, responsible for gambling. Through gambling, I contacted Burnekov-Robert and got the opportunity to meet him alone.


    ??Mona is observing the sentry outside and is also responsible for picking up us. "


    ��What a thoughtful man.��


    ?Caroline pulled up her shirt to cover her shoulders, rolled her eyes at Luo An, and then walked back to the bedroom with the pieces of paper:


    ��I can learn them by heart, but I don��t have much money. Don��t lose it all tonight, otherwise I will go to the Federation later and look for you to eat and drink.��


    ??The door to the bedroom of the suite was closed. Luo An chuckled and ignored Caroline. He walked up to Mona and put his arms around her, kissing her on the face:


    "Angry?"


    "A little."


    ??Mona glared at Luo An, bit him on the lip, and then said with a worried face:


    ��Are you sure about tonight? If not, let��s change a plan.��


    ��Trust me, it��s no problem.��


    ??Luo An lowered his head to cover Mona''s lips and gave her a long kiss. Then Luo An stopped and whispered in Mona''s ear:


    ��By the way, I need you to prepare something tonight.��


    "Um?"


    ?Mona was stunned for a moment, then after listening to Luo An''s words, her eyes moved slightly and she nodded silently.


    ?The time soon reached three o''clock in the afternoon. According to the plan, Luo An and Caroline changed their clothes, drove a sports car and went to the palace-like Monte Carlo Casino.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 427： The funds are doubled, and the players at the poker table have their own identities.

    Chapter 427: Funds doubled, poker players with different identities


    Monaco is a country where there is never a shortage of luxury cars and sports cars on the streets. Bugatti, Ferrari LaFerrari, Pagani, 765LT, F50, Porsche 918, etc. can be seen everywhere.


    ?Compared with these cars, the Lamborghini driven by Luo An and Caroline this time is really not conspicuous.


    ?However, fortunately, the color of the Lamborghini driven by Luo An this time was red, and the bright color still attracted the attention of many people.


    At three o''clock in the afternoon, a lot of people had already gathered at the Monte Carlo Casino. When the red Lamborghini parked at the entrance of the casino, it was not particularly eye-catching.


    But the handsome Luo An got out of the driver''s seat, stretched out his hand and pulled out Caroline, who was wearing a precious dark red dress. Her face was disguised but also very delicate, and she had a proud figure with a curved front and back, revealing a large piece of snow-white back. Suddenly, a bunch of people stopped and stared.


    ?Especially when they saw the long scar on Caroline''s shoulder, everyone gasped. Some men looked pity, some women looked admiration, and of course many people frowned and looked away.


    Caroline''s originally rather arrogant character helped a lot at this time. She didn''t care at all about those people who despised her scarred eyes, as if those people were trash, and had no interest in them at all. When Luo An threw the car keys to The doorman, she took Luo An straight into the casino.


    ??Roan pretended to be Caroline''s subordinate this time, so he was one step behind Caroline along the way, perfectly playing the role of a bodyguard.


    Not in a hurry to participate in the gambling, the two of them walked up to the bar on the second floor. Caroline sat and Luo An stood beside her.


    ? Feeling that many people here were turning their attention to the scar on her back, Caroline chuckled, handed Luo An a glass of wine, and whispered:


    ��It seems your plan was very successful.��


    Luo An took the wine glass and thanked him, smiled and replied in a low voice:


    ��Because you are beautiful, and humans don��t like cracks in beautiful things, right?��


    "hehe��"


    ?Caroline chuckled, took a sip of wine, glanced at the card tables downstairs and upstairs, and asked:


    ��What are you going to do next?��


    ??This time the two entered the casino with a total of 2.4 million US dollars.


    ?500,000 US dollars of which came from Caroline, and the other money was money from overseas accounts that Luo An obtained from the murder of Team Leader No. 2 and several other cases.


    ??But every bet that Bonykov-Robert participated in was on the third floor of the casino, with a minimum of $5 million and no upper limit.


    ??So Luo An needs to get 2.6 million in a short period of time before he can go to the third floor and participate in the gambling game where Burnekov-Robert is.


    ?Caroline knows very well that gambling is a game of probability where the banker is sure to win. Although she had seen Luo An playing cards from a distance in Las Vegas, she really didn''t know where Luo An got his confidence.


    ?Luo An grinned, picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and put the glass back on the bar:


    ��You are right, gambling is indeed not a good thing. No one can win all the time, and even gambling on dogs will not end well.��


    Facing Caroline''s question, Luo An said a few words casually, but did not answer. He just gave her a look, then took the chips and walked straight to the "FiveCardStud" gambling table not far away.


    Scientific name FiveCardStud, five-card stud, is a type of poker game in which the outcome is determined by the arrangement and combination of five cards.


    At the beginning of the game, each player will be dealt a hole card (this card can only be revealed at the end).


    After the second card is dealt, the player with the better card decides the bet amount, and others have the right to choose to "follow", "raise", "give up" or "clear the pot".


    After the five cards have been dealt, each player turns over all the hole cards to compare their sizes, and the biggest one is the winner.


    ??Luo An himself doesn��t like gambling. When he was young in his previous life, the old killer once played cards with him. At that time, the two of them were not comparing money, but who lost and who got whipped.


    In the first few times, Luo An lost and won, but he mainly won. Later, Luo An, who was convinced that he was a sure winner, increased the bet and increased the number of whips to fifty. As a result, the old killer came out with a thousand, and Luo An lost completely. , his skin was torn apart by fifty whips.


    Since then, Luo An knew that gambling was not about cards, but about people outside the game, so he never touched cards again.


    ?If he hadn��t had the ��emotional perception�� in his mind, which allowed him to sense the different emotional fluctuations of others when they got different cards, Luo An would probably never have walked into a casino to participate in the game.


    Even with "emotional perception", Luo An is very careful. He first guesses, then tests, and then verifies. He takes every step very cautiously. He chooses to give up if he feels something is wrong and never takes risks. So Caroline stood nearby holding a wine glass and stopped to watch, feeling as if her heart was on a roller coaster.


    Luo An lost four out of five games at first, then gradually changed to three losses and two wins out of five games, and then one loss and four wins out of five games. Caroline''s breathing was short, her heartbeat was racing, and her face was rosier than when she first came. A lot.


    Three hours later, at 6:30 pm, under the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, Luo An successfully changed his chips from 2.4 million to 6.7 million, then confessed and left, with Carlo Lin went to the restaurant to have dinner together.


    In the booth, Caroline held Luo An''s hand tightly and asked with a look of disbelief:


    ��How? How did you do it?��


    ��Get a hold of your emotions, Caroline.��


    ?Luo An stared into Caroline��s eyes and said in a deep voice:


    ��Don��t forget the goal of our trip, okay?��


    ? ����OK.��


    Looking at the stern look in Luo An''s eyes, Caroline''s breath was stagnant due to the surge of adrenaline and dopamine. She quickly changed her eyes and let go of Luo An''s hand.


    Sitting on the other side, she took a few deep breaths. After her mood gradually calmed down, her face stiffened slightly when she felt some discomfort. She apologized to Luo An in a low voice, then got up and went to the bathroom.


    After a while, Caroline returned to the box, and the dishes were all served. Luo An reached out to ask her to eat first, and then discuss what to do next, but Caroline grabbed Luo An''s arm:


    ��Luo An, something new has happened.��


    ?Luo An was slightly startled:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    ��I saw a familiar person.��


    ?Caroline looked very unhappy and said that she had just come out of the bathroom and saw Mrs. Hanover and a few people walking into the restaurant talking and laughing.


    ��Mrs. Hanover?��


    Roan frowned slightly when he heard this, and Caroline asked nervously:


    ��Could she be with Burnekov-Robert?��


    ?Luo An pondered for a while and slowly shook his head:


    ��It��s unlikely.��


    Caroline was about to say something when she heard this, but Luo An pushed her down on the chair and said with a smile:


    "No matter what, let''s finish the meal first. This meal costs nearly 20,000 US dollars."


    Hearing this, Caroline''s eyes widened instantly, she rolled her eyes at Luo An, and quickly lowered her head to taste the food.


    Half an hour later, with Luo An''s comfort, Caroline returned to the proud woman again, and she and Luo An walked to a large room on the third floor of the casino.


    In the center of the room, which is decorated in a low-key and restrained style, there is a large gaming table. In the middle of the left side of the gaming table, there is a dealer wearing a black women''s suit and white gloves with an expressionless face. He looks like he is in his thirties. .


    In the remaining directions of the gambling table, five men and women playing cards were seated.


    ??The target of Roan and Caroline''s trip, Robert Bernekov was sitting on the far left side of the card table, and Mrs. Hanover was also sitting in the center on the right side of the card table, with a large pile of chips in front of her.


    Unlike Caroline, Roan��s eyes were not on Mrs. Hanover, nor on Burnekov-Robert, but on the other three players on the card table.


    What Luo An asked Mona to do before was to investigate the people who often appeared at this card table.


    Among the three people, there is a blond man in a suit, a white woman in a blue skirt, and an African face wearing a gold Rolex.


    ??The African face was selectively ignored by Luo An. The other man and woman, according to Mona''s investigation, the man is from the United Kingdom and is suspected to be MI6, and the woman is from the Commonwealth and is suspected to be CIA.


    Soon, the man with the African face lost a lot and stopped playing. He turned around and left the room. Luo An did not hesitate, walked up to the card table with the chips, and took his seat.


    Seeing Robert Bernekov, Mrs. Hanover, a woman suspected of CIA, and a man suspected of MI6 at the card table, all turned their attention to him. Luo An chuckled, picked up the wine glass, raised it to them, and asked with a smile. road:


    "you do not mind?"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 428： The card game begins, sherry, gin, vodka

    Chapter 428 The card game begins, sherry + gin + vodka


    ??On the third floor of the Monte Carlo Casino, there is a room decorated in a European last century style.


    There is a huge oval card table in the center of the room, with the dealer sitting on the long straight side.


    Wearing a black suit and light blue eyes, Burnekov-Robert is sitting at the arc on the far left side of the card table.


    ?At the straight card table opposite the dealer, from left to right are a white woman named Perna who is suspected to be CIA, Mrs. Hanover, and a blond white man named Vincent who is suspected to be MI6.


    ??Roan was sitting at the arc on the far right side of the card table, far away from Burnekov-Robert, and on the left was Vincent.


    Seeing Luo An pick up the wine glass, Bernekov-Robert smiled slightly and lowered his head to arrange the chips. Mrs. Hanover glanced at Luo An and withdrew her eyes expressionlessly. Vincent did not speak. Perna knocked on the table and urged. road:


    "can we start?"


    ??Luo An glanced at the chips in front of Perna and found that she had lost the most, half of them.


    Mrs. Hanover followed closely behind and lost a lot, but she didn''t care.


    ��Please draw cards and determine the dealer according to the size of the cards.��


    The game played on this card table is Texas Hold''em with some minor rules. The dealer dealt five playing cards to the five people on the card table. The five people showed their cards one by one. Mrs. Hanover''s card was the highest, and the dealer took it back. Poker nodded:


    ��Mrs. Hanover is the banker, please place your bet.��


    Mrs. Hanover was a little lazy. She picked up a red chip and threw it on the table. The dealer said:


    ��Mrs. Hanover placed the small blind, 10,000.��


    Soon, the dealer dealt the cards again, and the ten cards were placed on the table and distributed to the five people one by one. Luo An picked up his two cards and took a casual look. His expression did not change, and he began to use "emotional perception". "Feel other people''s emotions.


    Soon, the first card game ended. Luo An stopped betting midway and lost half a million. The expression on Caroline''s face not far away did not change, but her eyes still moved slightly.


    ?After a few rounds, Luo An lost nearly 3 million. The 2.4 million U.S. dollars when he entered the casino today has been completely lost.


    ?Caroline, who was sitting at the bar not far away, stopped looking at who won and who lost at the card table in order not to expose herself, and instead started chatting softly with the woman brought by Bernekov.


    ?Perna, who had been losing at the table, had won several times with Luo An. Not only did the anxiety on his face begin to disappear, but Zhongzhi also gave Luo An several smiles.


    ??Burnikov and Vincent also won a few games respectively. Mrs. Hanover frowned slightly when she saw Luo An, who had been losing. Then her expression remained unchanged and she continued to place bets as if nothing had happened.


    A new round of poker began. The dealer dealt two playing cards to each of the five people. The betting rounds of one, two, three and four ended quickly. Five illuminated playing cards appeared in front of the dealer. All five players at the table followed through to the final round.


    ��Betting is over.��


    After the five people placed their bets, the chips in the center of the table totaled 11 million. The dealer spread his hands:


    ��Everyone, please show your cards.��


    Perna, whose face was flushed with excitement, was the first to show her cards. Her two hole cards and the five community cards in front of the dealer were just enough to form a straight.


    But it��s a pity that Vincent��s cards and Mrs. Hanover��s cards are both higher than Perna��s.


    ??And Bernekov''s card is higher than Mrs. Hanover''s.


    ??The ups and downs of the front foot giving birth to the back foot and dying made Perna look extremely ugly, and Vincent''s face was also very ugly.


    Mrs. Hanover''s expression remained unchanged, and she didn''t care about the lost money at all. She just turned her attention to Roan like Bernekov.


    After four rounds of calling, Luo An only had more than one million chips left, and the rest were placed on the gambling table. If he loses this hand, unless Luo An''s next hand is the largest and rarest royal card Flush, otherwise Luo An''s chances of leaving the gambling table are not very high.


    ??Burnikov is also keeping a close eye on Roan. His cards in this round are four with the same number, which is the biggest card on the table. It is not easy to beat him.


    ?Amidst everyone''s different looks, Luo An chuckled and pushed his cards to the dealer. The dealer opened Luo An''s two cards, combined them with the five community cards on the table, and said quietly:


    ��Flush, Mr. Brian (Luo Anxin��s pseudonym) has the best card.


    The game is over and the cards are collected. "


    After confirming that all parties had no objections, the dealer put away the cards on the table and pushed all the chips on the table to Luo An.


    ?In this game, Perna, Vincent, Mrs. Hanover and Bonykov each lost more than 2.5 million. Luo An not only won back his principal, but also made more than 3 million.


    ��shit!��


    Perna, who lost again, cursed in a low voice, then raised his hand and said loudly:


    ��Bartender, bring me a glass of Gordon��s gin on the rocks.��


    Vincent next to him heard this and said loudly:


    "Same!"


    Mrs. Hanover and Bernekov didn''t speak. Luo An glanced at the two of them, and then at Caroline, who was sitting at the bar chatting with someone but keeping her ears open to listen to the situation. She smiled slightly and turned to the bartender. Shengdao:


    ��Three parts sherry, one part gin, one part vodka, one part agave, shake with ice, and add a lemon slice.��


    ����Okay sir.��


    ??The bartender''s mouth twitched when he heard this. This was the first time he heard such a request for bartending, but his good professionalism prevented him from questioning it and he immediately nodded and agreed.


    Soon, the intermission was over, and after the bartender brought all the drinks requested by several people to the table, a new round of card games began again.


    In the next few card games, Luo An lost and won, but mostly won. Mrs. Hanover, Vincent and Perna basically didn''t win much, and Bernekov won more cards than Roan.


    ? Time passed by, and after more than two hours, Vincent lost all 10 million in chips. Shen left the card table with a face and sat at the bar to chat with people.


    Mrs. Hanover also lost a total of 17 million, but she still had 10 million chips in front of her, so she was still sitting lazily on the chair, her expression unchanged, as if there was no winning or losing in her eyes.


    Perna lost all her chips faster than Vincent, but after losing her initial nine million, she left the room for a moment, and soon returned to the gaming table with another twelve million in chips, her head held high. .


    ?This scene attracted everyone in the room to look at her sideways. Even Luo An couldn''t help but look at her twice.


    ? Luo An didn��t know whether the money belonged to Perna himself or to the CIA... If it was the latter, I can only say that the CIA was worthy of being the CIA, and it was indeed rich and powerful.


    ?At the poker table, there were only two people winning money, namely Luo An and Bernekov.


    ??Bernikov��s original capital was relatively large, a full 20 million. Coupled with the money won from other people, the chips in front of him have accumulated to about 48 million.


    ?However, Bonykov with light blue eyes was not the one who attracted the most attention. Luo An, who was sitting opposite him and occasionally picked up the wine glass and took a sip, attracted the most attention from the onlookers in the room.


    ? Luo An initially had the smallest capital among the five, only US$6.7 million.


    But now, Luo An has several thick and tall layers of chips stacked in front of him, which add up to a total of 34 million.


    ? A new round of poker started, and the four rounds of betting ended. Perna stopped betting midway. The only ones following at the end were Roan, Bernekov and Mrs. Hanover. The chips in the middle of the table had accumulated to 30 million.


    Mrs. Hanover was still lazily leaning on the chair. Bernekov narrowed his eyes and stared at Luo An. Luo An picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The dealer placed the five community cards and said:


    ��Three of you, please show your cards.��

    Chapter 429 All-in, 152 million, Mantis and Cicada


    ?At the card table, after the dealer finished speaking, Mrs. Hanover was the first to show her cards, followed closely by Luo An, and the last person to show her cards was Bernekov.


    Mrs. Hanover''s card is the smallest, Roan''s card is the second, and Bernekov''s card is the largest.


    ?Bernikov, who had the best cards, glanced at Luo An, smiled slightly, and took away the 30 million US dollars in chips in the center of the table.


    ������xN


    ??Perna curled his lips and muttered something in a low voice when he saw this scene, urging the dealer to start the next round quickly.


    Mrs. Hanover glanced at Luo An, frowned slightly, and changed her posture.


    ?Luo An''s breathing changed slightly, he glanced at Bonykov, picked up the wine glass again and took a sip.


    ?The games ended quickly. Perna had almost lost all her new twelve million chips, and Mrs. Hanover''s twenty-seven million chips were not much left.


    Unlike Perna who looked impatient and restless, Mrs. Hanover''s expression did not change at all. She raised her hand and yawned, asked the bartender for a glass of French Cordon Bleu, and then looked lazily at the card table. of two other people.


    At this time, Bonikov had 65 million chips in front of him, and the total chips in front of Luo An amounted to 54 million. All the money that everyone lost in the entire card game was taken by the two of them. In hand.


    A new round of the game started, and the dealer dealt two cards to the four people respectively. The third round of betting ended, and the dealer showed the fourth community card. She looked up at the four people and said softly:


    ��The pot is now 10 million to 4 million, please place your bet.��


    ?Perna thought for a moment and did not place a bet:


    Mrs. Hanover also did not place a bet:


    ?Burnikov and Luo An also made the same choice. They looked at each other and both chose to give up.


    ��Check all cards, there are four players left in this round.��


    The dealer repeated as usual, then placed the fifth community card and said:


    ��The fifth round has begun, please place your bets.��


    ??Perna frowned slightly, picked up his two trump cards and looked at them. He was silent for a few seconds and then rolled out five stacks of chips:


    ��Bet, five million.��


    ??The dealer repeated Perna''s words, and then looked at Mrs. Hanover. Mrs. Hanover pondered for a while and pushed out all eight piles of chips in front of her:


    ��All in, eight million.��


    ��All-in, eight million, pot twenty-seven million.��


    The dealer repeated Mrs. Hanover''s choice, then turned to look at Bernekov:


    ��Please place your bet.��


    ??Burnikov looked at Luo An, who was sitting opposite him, for a few seconds, chuckled, and pushed out ten stacks of chips:


    ��Add, ten million.��


    ��The pot is thirty-seven million.��


    The dealer looked at Luo An:


    ��Please place your bet.��


    Roan did not go with the card barber. He stared at Bonykov sitting opposite him. He pondered for a while, then suddenly grinned, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, pushing out all the chips in front of him:


    ��Fifty million, all in.��


    ����


    ??Seeing Luo An''s actions, the onlookers at the gambling table suddenly burst into an uproar, and a buzzing sound suddenly sounded.


    Vincent, who had already got off the gambling table, stood up and stood up. Caroline, who was sitting at the bar, could not sit still either. Her face changed slightly and she turned her attention to the card table.


    ��Fifty million, all in.��


    ??The dealer repeated what Luo An said, then turned to look at Perna:


    ��Do you want to follow the bet?��


    Perna was a little confused. She looked down at her cards and then at Luo An, who was smiling. After a few seconds of silence, she gritted her teeth and pushed out all the remaining chips in front of her:


    ��Five million, call, go all-in!��


    ??Hanover Lady Stud, Roan Stud, Perna Stud, a lot of chips have been stacked in the center of the card table, and everyone present turned their attention to Bernekov.


    ??Burnikov, who had already chosen to follow the bet in the previous round, never expected that Luo An would actually stud. For a moment, he couldn''t tell whether Luo An was cheating him or if he was really confident.


    ??Burnikov''s light blue eyes were closely watching every move of Luo An, who was sitting opposite him. Luo An didn''t care about the other person''s eyes, with a faint smile on his face, and in turn, he was also staring at Bernikov. The air in the room was extremely quiet at this time, and everyone was waiting for Bernekov''s choice.


    ??Burnikov was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed softly and pushed out all the chips in front of him:


    ��Sixty million, call, go all-in!��


    ��Sixty million, call, go all-in. Pot is 152 million.��


    After the dealer finished speaking, there was a sudden gasp from the audience at the gaming table.


    At this time, there was still more than half a month until 2006, and the chips on the poker table were a real 152 million euros. This was a quite large number. At this time, the market value of many European companies did not have that much. .


    The dealer is a person who has seen a lot of things in the world. She still looks very calm:


    ��Gentlemen and ladies, please show your cards.��


    At the card table, a group of bystanders stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks, trying to figure out the cards of the four people. Caroline did not look at the card table like them, but turned around and looked down at her wine glass, as if there was something in the wine glass. The lemon slices were more interesting, but the white knuckles of her left hand showed that her mood was far from calm.


    At the card table, Mrs. Hanover took a deep look at Luo An. Without any nonsense, she was the first to reveal her two cards. They could just form a flush with the five community cards.


    Perna laughed upon seeing this and immediately pushed his two hole cards to the dealer. The dealer opened them and said softly:


    ��Three eights, a pair of jacks, a boat card, and a flush.��


    ?Perna raised his head and looked at Roan and Bernekov with a smile. Bernekov chuckled and pushed his cards to the dealer.


    The dealer opened these two cards, arranged them with the five cards on the table, and said softly:


    ��Three Jacks, a pair of 10s, a bigger boat card.��


    Perna''s eyes widened when she saw this scene. Bonykov ignored her at all. He just glanced at the audience around him, then spread his hands towards Luo An and smiled lightly: It''s your turn.


    ??The smile on Luo An''s face slowly disappeared, and Mrs. Hanover frowned upon seeing this. Caroline, who was at the bar not far away, still didn''t look back, but her hand held the wine glass a little tighter.


    The air in the whole room was extremely quiet, and the onlookers didn''t dare to breathe. Seeing that there was no smile on Luo An''s face, all kinds of thoughts and expressions suddenly appeared on their faces.


    After a few seconds of silence, Luo An looked around and suddenly laughed, handing his cards to the dealer.


    The dealer opened the two cards, arranged them with the five public cards on the table, and said quietly:


    ��7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, all spades, a straight flush, greater than the boat card.��


    ��Jesus!��


    "How can it be?"


    ��A straight flush?!��


    When all the onlookers saw this scene, they all opened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise. Caroline on the edge of the bar took a deep breath, relaxed and turned around, returning to her original arrogant look.


    ?At the card table, Bonykov looked at Luo An with a cold face for a few seconds, stood up and left the card table without saying anything.


    ?Perna slapped the table hard, glared at Luan fiercely, and then walked out of the room. Mrs. Hanover looked at Luan with interest for a moment, then also left the card table and walked out.


    ��Well done.��


    ?Caroline walked slowly up to Luo An, handed him a glass of wine, and after praising him, she glanced at the pile of chips that belonged to them on the table, her eyes glowed a little, and she asked in a low voice:


    ��What to do next?��


    ��My original idea was to take advantage of the end of the card game to contact Bonikov alone.��


    ?Looking at the guests gradually walking out of the room, Luo An had a strange look in his eyes and chuckled softly:


    "But now this plan needs to be changed temporarily. This room is full of talents... Let''s wait a few minutes until the mantis and cicada are done tossing before we enter."


    Caroline: ��???��


    Sorry, today��s two chapters were posted backwards. I��m contacting you for revision. I��m really sorry (Sorry/(��o��)/~~)

 Chapter 430： Sudden explosion, new card game, lost hand

    Chapter 430: Sudden explosion, new card game, losing hand?


    Monte Carlo Casino.


    ? ?A card game in which the pot could accumulate to 152 million was not a common occurrence even in the Monte Carlo Casino in 2005.


    When the news of this card game spread to the first and second floors of the casino, everyone was aroused with great curiosity and wanted to know who had won such a big card game.


    Among them, the better informed ones learned that Winning was a subordinate of a woman with a delicate face and a good figure, but with scars on her shoulders. The ones who were more alert suddenly had various thoughts.


    ??But to everyone''s disappointment, Caroline and Luo An didn''t go downstairs at all after winning the card game. After people exchanged the chips, the two asked for a temporary rest room and walked in.


    Caroline sat on the sofa, her eyes brightening as she looked at the more than 100 million euros in the newly opened bank account.


    Luo An closed the curtains, stood in front of the window, gently opened the gap in the curtains, carefully observed the situation downstairs, and took out his mobile phone to call Mona:


    ��Mona, the original plan has been temporarily cancelled. I will notify you of the follow-up situation.��


    ��What?��


    ??In a car outside the casino, Mona was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She wanted to ask why, but she was used to trusting Luo An and suppressed her questions and nodded in agreement.


    Roan smiled softly when he saw this. He knew that Mona had questions, so he briefly talked about the situation of Perna, Vincent, and the onlookers in the casino, and explained:


    "When we were playing cards just now, almost two-thirds of the people in the room were going to Bonykov. We don''t need to compete with them for the time being."


    "��All right."


    ??Mona was speechless when she heard this. Caroline, who knew Chinese on the sofa, also wanted to understand what Luo An meant by the mantis and cicada.


    ?Caroline thought for a while. She still had a question. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a deafening explosion!


    Boom��


    ??The explosion resounded through the sky so suddenly that the entire casino building seemed to shake.


    ??All the players in the casino were startled. Many people subconsciously got under the card table. When others reacted, they immediately screamed and ran wildly outside the casino.


    ?The whole casino suddenly became extremely chaotic. Some people ran away, some called to inquire about the situation, and some took advantage of the chaos to steal the chips that no one wanted, especially the big ones.


    Luo An, who was in front of the window, did not expect the explosion. Seeing the sky-high flames and the subsequent black and gray smoke rising from the direction of the parking lot outside the casino, Luo An quickly picked up the phone and asked:


    ��Mona, are you okay?��


    ��I��m fine.��


    On the roadside not too far from the parking lot, Mona, who was also startled, looked at the burning cars in the parking lot dozens of meters away and frowned:


    ��Roan, if I��m not mistaken, the car that exploded belonged to Bonykov!��


    ??In the room, Caroline, who was trembling with fright from the explosion just now, quickly came to Roan''s side. When she heard Mona''s voice on the phone, Caroline covered her mouth in surprise:


    ��Is this silencing or what? Who did it? MI6 or CIA?��


    ��The only person who dares to act so unscrupulously in other countries is the CIA.��


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone thought for a while and suddenly frowned:


    "But did Mrs. Hanover also come against Bonykov? She couldn''t have done it, right?"


    ��No, not them.��


    After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An suddenly took Caroline''s hand and walked out of the door, saying as he walked:


    ��I��m afraid it��s Burnykov��s own fault.


    No one in this group of people is simple, and they all have their own thoughts. "


    Mona and Caroline were stunned when they heard this. The situation was urgent. Luo An did not give them a detailed explanation. He quickly told Mona on his mobile phone to resume the original plan. Then he lowered his head and whispered in Caroline''s ear. After a few words, he and Caroline finally walked to the room on the other side of the third floor.


    At the door of a dark red room, Luo An knocked on the door, and a few seconds later, a strong white man in a black suit walked out.


    ?Caroline stood behind with an expressionless face. Luo An looked at the strong man and said with a smile:


    ��Miss Yevdoki (pseudonym of Caroline, Chapter 245) asked to meet with Mr. Bonykov.��


    ??The strong white man glanced at Luo An and replied expressionlessly:


    ��I��m sorry, Mr. Bonykov is not here, he has left.��


    ��Miss Yevdoki previously sent a secretary to contact Mr. Bonykov through letters, but he was rejected by Mr. Bonykov.��


    Luo An chuckled and continued nonchalantly:


    "We have a way to solve the problem faced by Mr. Burnekov, but only if Mr. Burnekov is willing to pay us another 150 million euros." Luo An''s words are to explain to Burnekov that we have contacted you before. I want to cooperate with you, but you won''t meet with us, so I came to the casino to win your money.


    The second is to reveal one''s identity and show that they are not in the same group as certain people.


    ??The strong white man''s expression did not change when he heard this, and he still said that Bonykov was not here.


    ?Caroline turned around and left without expression. Luo An smiled at the strong white man and quickly turned around to follow.


    Walking quickly back to the room where the two of them were just now, Caroline asked in a low voice as she walked:


    ��Are you sure this will work?��


    ��Not sure. But if it doesn��t work, I have other ways.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, and Caroline frowned slightly when she heard this, because until the two of them opened the door and walked into the room, the strong white man did not catch up to them and stop them.


    After closing the door to the room, Caroline turned to look at Luo An and spread her hands:


    ��So, it��s a failure this time? What��s your next plan?��


    ��No hurry, wait another 60 seconds.��


    ??Luo An shook his head, then looked down at Caroline''s slender thighs and asked with a smile:


    ��Are all the things still there?��


    Caroline rolled her eyes at Luo An:


    ��Of course I am, but I feel a little uncomfortable.��


    ��It��s the same for the first time, just get used to it.��


    ����


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    ?Caroline��s mouth moved slightly, and just when she was about to complain, there was a knock on the door next to the two of them.


    Giving Caroline a look, Luo An walked over and opened the door. Outside was a beautiful woman in a silver dress. She smiled at Luo An and said:


    ��My boss wants to meet you, please come with me.��


    Luo An was not in a hurry to agree, but asked:


    ��Is your boss ready for the 150 million euros that Miss Yevdoki wants?��


    ??The woman in the silver dress stiffened slightly when she heard this, but quickly returned to normal and replied with a smile:


    ��This depends on Miss Yevdoki��s ability.��


    ?Luo An looked at the woman in the silver dress for a few seconds, then turned to look at Caroline, perfectly portraying the image that a subordinate should have.


    Caroline stood up and left the sofa, glanced at the woman in silver dress, and said softly:


    ��Lead the way.��


    ??The woman in the silver dress smiled slightly and quickly stretched out her hand to the left to guide Caroline and Luo An.


    Soon, the two were taken to a room on the fourth floor of the casino. The woman in silver dress pushed open the door and greeted Roan and Caroline not Bonykov, but several strong men in black.


    ??The other party stretched out his hand to stop Luo An, indicating that he wanted to search Luo An for weapons.


    ?? Luo An opened his arms indifferently and allowed the other party to search him. There was nothing on him, and the search ended quickly.


    But when the woman in the silver dress examined Caroline, she found a pocket pistol and a folding dagger on the inner side of Caroline''s thigh.


    Facing the distrustful eyes of the woman in silver dress, Caroline followed Luo An��s previous teachings and said softly:


    ��I��m a woman and I carry a pistol and a knife in my thigh, which makes sense.��


    ??The woman in the silver dress was silent for a few seconds. She accepted the answer and continued to lead the two of them into the depths of the room.


    Pushing open a door, Roan and Caroline finally saw Bernekov.


    ??Burnikov, who had light blue eyes, laughed when he saw the two of them, pointed to the card table in front of him, and said:


    ��Good evening, Miss Yevdoki. Mr. Brian, I didn��t expect us to meet again so soon. The card game just now was not fun enough. How about we play another game?


    ?But the bets are changed this time. We don��t bet money. Whoever loses will have one hand cut off. "


    ?Hearing the word "cut off hand", Caroline''s eyes moved slightly, recalling Jawali''s severed hand.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 431： Negotiation, jumping, screaming Caroline

    Chapter 431: Negotiation, jumping off the building, screaming Caroline


    In a room deep in a room on the fourth floor of the Monte Carlo Casino, Burnekov-Robert was sitting on a chair with his back to the window, and a large gaming table in front of him.


    On both sides of Bonykov''s back and on the left and right corners of the doorway of the room, there were four bodyguards wearing black suits with expressionless faces, holding pistols and keeping an eye on Roan and Caroline.


    When hearing the word "broken hand", it is difficult not to think of Jawali''s severed hand.


    ?However, Caroline reacted quickly and replied coldly:


    ��The game can be played, and so can the gambler.


    ?But Mr. Bonykov, are you sure you want to play cards at this time? There is a group of people waiting for you outside. "


    ?Hearing what Caroline said, Bonykov laughed, threw the cards in his hand aside, and said:


    ��Miss Yevdoki��s words make sense. Please sit down.��


    Caroline sat down, and Roan stood behind her. A bodyguard stepped forward and poured two cups of coffee for Caroline and Bernekov. Bernekov took a sip and said bluntly:


    ��I don��t know, Miss Yevdoki, do you have any suggestions?��


    According to Luo An��s previous teachings, Caroline said quietly:


    ��It��s very simple, just throw the pot to someone else.��


    Caroline said that since your organization has three people in charge in Europe, and MI6 and CIA have also set their sights on Bonikov, then Bonikov can completely pass the blame to one of the other two people in charge, saying that the matter The person in charge was the mastermind, and Bonykov was just doing a favor.


    At that time, Bernekov will use the CIA and MI6 to get rid of the person in charge, which will not only get rid of the trouble, but also expand his sphere of influence, killing two birds with one stone.


    ?Of course, Bonykov is now being watched by the CIA and MI6, and it is a bit difficult to do this alone, so Caroline can help as a third party.


    ?But there is no free lunch in the world. After this matter is resolved, Bonykov needs to give Caroline part of the business in Eastern Europe. At the same time, Caroline will also want half of the business of the person who took the blame.


    Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!


    After listening to Caroline��s words, Bonykov��s eyes moved slightly, he smiled and clapped:


    ��I didn��t expect that Miss Yevdoki would have such a big appetite at such a young age.��


    ��When I was young, my father died early, and some people took away most of the family business.��


    ?Caroline smiled slightly, folded her hands on her legs, and said softly:


    ��But I wasn��t angry at the time, because I knew those people would run the stolen business well.


    ?Sure enough, when I grew up, the value of those businesses had increased tenfold, so I took them back one by one.


    To express my gratitude, I sent those who took away my business and their whole family to meet with my father, so that my father could express my gratitude to them in person. "


    Upon hearing this, Bernekov smiled even more, but he did not agree immediately, and then asked:


    "So, Miss Yevdoki, how do I know whether you can do what you said?"


    ??Burnikov is still not sure whether Caroline''s words are true or false, but since the other party dares to say so, he doesn''t mind taking advantage of her.


    Caroline''s expression did not change when she heard this. Following Luo An''s plan, she waved her hand, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and said softly:


    ��Brian.��


    ��Okay, miss.��


    Luo An nodded, smiled at Bonikov, then turned and walked to the left side of the door. There was a bodyguard standing with a gun. He raised his head and stared at the other person for a second. Luo An grinned and punched the other person in the chest. passed.


    �O


    Luo An''s movements were too fast and he was so strong that the bodyguard was punched back and hit the wall before he could react. Luo An took advantage of the situation and grabbed the opponent''s right hand holding the gun and aimed the gun at the bodyguard on the right side of the door. The trigger was pulled directly.


    boom!


    ??The bodyguard who also failed to react was shot in the head. The two bodyguards at the window finally reacted, raised their weapons, aimed at Luo An, raised their guns and shot.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ??Luo An moved himself behind the bodyguard in his hand in a blink of an eye, using him as a cover. He raised his pistol and swept it left and right, pulling the trigger at a very fast speed.


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    Four gunshots rang out, and the two bodyguards at the window fell to the ground. Luo An let go of the unlucky guy in front of him who was beaten to death by his teammates, walked quickly to the door of the room, picked up a chair and pressed it firmly against the door handle. .


    ?All this happened too fast. In the blink of an eye, the four bodyguards lost their breath. Bernekov''s expression changed suddenly. He stood up and grabbed Caroline''s hand, took out a gun and put it on her head:


    ��Miss Yevdoki, what do you mean? Who are you?��


    ��You��ll know after you take a nap.�� ????Bang!


    Luo An raised his hand and fired a shot, accurately hitting Bonikov''s hand holding the gun. The opponent was in pain and dropped the pistol to the ground. Before the angry Bonikov could say anything, Luo An quickly moved to his side, and from He took out a bottle of sleeping potion from behind his butt, opened his mouth and poured it all in.


    Before this operation, Luo An went to the drugstore to buy some things, and pretended to mix some potions in front of Mona and Caroline, so Caroline was not interested in letting Bernekov fall asleep quickly. [Sleep Potion] was confused.


    But Caroline was shocked by another thing. She widened her eyes and asked:


    "Luo An, how did you bring this thing in? Are those guys who searched you outside blind?"


    "secret."


    ??The gunshots in the room had attracted the attention of the bodyguards outside, who were breaking down the door. Roan winked at Caroline without explaining, pushed the unconscious Bernekov to Caroline, and said:


    ��Keep an eye on him, call Mona, explain our location, and ask her to go downstairs.��


    ??Putting away the pistol and walking to the window, Luo An pulled down the curtains and tore them into pieces. He quickly tied them into a long rope, one end of which was tied to the gaming table in the room, and the other end to Luo An''s own waist.


    ?While tearing the curtains apart, Luo An took out a bottle of [Featherfall Potion] and poured it into his stomach while Caroline was not paying attention.


    ?Caroline, who was struggling to support Bernekov, saw that Roan was only tying a rope for herself. She was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully:


    "What about mine?"


    ��What��s yours? Here you go, bite it.��


    Luo An stuffed a piece of curtain rag into Caroline''s mouth, kicked the window glass, and then placed Caroline on the gaming table with Caroline in his left arm, Bonikov in his right arm, and Bonikov in his thigh. The computer jumped out of the window directly in front of Caroline''s shocked face.


    "ah-"


    It turns out that Luo An still overestimated the role of the rag. The moment she jumped out of the window, Caroline opened her mouth and screamed in fear.


    Especially because time was too short and the rope was not long enough. When the three of them were hanging on the second floor and could not go down, Caroline was even more frightened and screamed louder.


    At this time, Mona had parked the car and was getting ready downstairs. Luo An released his right arm and threw the sleeping Bernekov and his computer onto the roof of Mona''s car. Mona followed the plan she had made before. , put Bonykov into the car, took out a lifelike dummy from the car, threw it to the ground, and finally drove away from the area quickly.


    ??Then Luo An untied the rope around his waist, hugged Caroline and jumped to the ground.


    "ah-"


    Bang!


    ??The moment she landed smoothly, Caroline still screamed with her eyes closed tightly, holding on to Luo An tightly with both hands and refusing to let go.


    ��There they are!��


    ��Get downstairs quickly!��


    ��Go downstairs and arrest people!��


    At this moment, several heads suddenly appeared in the room upstairs and shouts were heard. Luo An raised his pistol and fired, then he patted the pretty face of Caroline in his arms:


    ��Stop barking!��


    Before Caroline could react, Roan picked up the dummy on the ground and stuffed it and Caroline into the back seat of another car that Mona had prepared in advance.


    ??Then Luo An got into the driver''s seat and drove the car quickly in the opposite direction of Mona.


    ?Bernikov��s bodyguards followed closely behind in their cars. The CIA and MI6, who were testing each other because of the explosion just now, heard about this, looked at each other, and also chased after them in their cars.


    So on the streets of Monaco at night, tourists were stunned to see a car leading a dozen cars, a rare sight.


    ?Looking at the cars behind him that were clinging to his car, Luo An chuckled. Under Caroline''s horrified eyes, he operated the steering wheel with one hand and called Mona with the other hand:


    ��How are you doing over there?��


    ��It��s going well with me.��


    ??In a basement, Mona was playing with Bernekov''s computer and asked:


    ��How long will it take for you to finish?��


    ??Luo An glanced at the rearview mirror, selectively ignored Caroline''s cry of terror, and said softly:


    ��Give me five minutes.��

 Chapter 432： F1 car, racing Luo An, jumping off the car

    Chapter 432: F1 racing, racing Luo An, jumping out of the car


    ? ?Monaco is a world-renowned wealthy country, and it is also a world-renowned country with a small territory. The total area is only 0.8 square kilometers. Some villages with a larger population in a country in the east are larger than it.


    At the same time, Monaco also has one of the four shortest F1 tracks in the world. This track is integrated with the streets of downtown Monaco. The racing cars pass directly between the blocks at high speed. City residents can see it when they lean out their windows. F1 racing cars speed by under the window.


    Most F1 races are held during the day. Tonight, I saw a car leading the race on the streets of Monaco, followed closely by other cars. Although the people and tourists on the roadside did not know what was going on, they just wanted to watch the excitement. Not feeling it was a big deal, he still waved the food in his hands, screamed, clapped and cheered.


    ?Bernikov��s bodyguards, CIA, and MI6 who drove to chase Roan: ��@#*%����


    ?Hang up the phone, Luo An glanced at the rearview mirror, smiled disdainfully, straightened his sitting posture, and said softly:


    ��Sit tight, Caroline, I��m going to start accelerating.��


    ��W-T-F?��


    Caroline, whose lips had been trembling since she got into the Audi car, heard this and felt that her heart almost stopped beating. She tightly grabbed the seat belt on her body and said in disbelief:


    ��You want to speed up? There��s a curve ahead!��


    ��You have to accelerate when you reach a corner. Who doesn��t know how to accelerate in a straight line?��


    Luo An chuckled, turned the steering wheel, pressed the brake, and applied the handbrake. With one smooth movement, the black Audi left two long traces on the ground at an incredible angle, amidst the shock and cheers of passers-by, and then shook off. Tail leap into another street.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Brake! Brake!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Of the dozen or so cars behind the Audi, the three drivers who were at the front and bit the hardest didn''t even react. They drove their cars into a roadside shop amidst the yelling of their teammates.


    score


    Boom!


    The violent explosion was deafening. Three cars were packed together one after another, and the orange-red fire instantly illuminated the entire street. Many passers-by who reacted hurriedly screamed and fled.


    But there are also a few middle-aged rich people who like F1 and have come to Monaco to watch F1 races in the past. Watching the scenes of the cars behind them slowing down and passing through the flames and continuing to chase the Audi cars, their faces were flushed with excitement and they shouted loudly. call:


    ��This is called racing!��


    ��Who is that Audi owner? Don��t know? If you don��t know, check it out for me! I want to sign him! I want him to be the chief racing driver of my F1 team!��


    ? Luo An didn��t know that he was spotted by several wealthy people who liked F1 racing. Even if he knew, he wouldn��t care. He was closely observing the situation of several cars following him.


    ?Through four consecutive sharp turns, Luo An had successfully sent away nine cars, and the ones following him had also opened a long distance away from the Audi.


    ??Looking away from the rearview mirror and making sure that the long road ahead was a straight line, Luo An reached out and patted Caroline and said:


    ��Caroline, come to me quickly!��


    "What?"


    ?Caroline was so dizzy as the car made several extremely fast turns that she couldn''t react for a moment.


    "ah-"


    Luo An was a little confused when he saw her whole state, so he simply didn''t bother to explain. He quickly reached out and unbuckled Caroline''s seat belt. When Caroline screamed, Luo An hugged her to his body. He said seriously in her ear:


    ��Hold on to me! Don��t let go!��


    After saying that, without waiting for Caroline to answer, Luo An took out the lighter from his pocket and threw it directly at the dummy in the back seat of the car.


    Phew��the dummy that had been smeared with something in advance burned instantly when it came into contact with the flames. Luo An opened the windows on both sides of the back seat, and billowing smoke and flames instantly came out along the windows. In the eyes of others, this The Audi car seemed to be speeding forward, dragging flames and smoke.


    In the driver''s seat, sitting face to face in Luo An''s arms, with her arms tightly wrapped around Luo An''s chest, Caroline looked at the flames burning close at hand in the back seat of the car. She said nothing, asked nothing, and her expression did not change. He just put his head firmly on Luo An''s shoulder.


    Caroline only has one idea now:


    It doesn��t matter what happens, I��m tired.


    ? Pulling the black Audi with flames and thick smoke, he turned into another street again and saw a port not far away, with extremely beautiful lights and many yachts passing through it.


    Roan glanced at the pursuit vehicle that had not yet appeared behind him in the rearview mirror, his face became stern, and he said to Caroline again:


    ��Hold on to me! Hold your breath!��


    After saying that, Luo An stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. After the car engine roared out of the street guardrail and flew directly towards the ocean in the port, he opened the car door fiercely, jumped out of the driver''s seat with Caroline in his arms.


    ??Amid the stunned gazes of a group of yacht guests, a flaming car broke through the guardrail, flew straight off the road not far away, and plunged into the sea.


    Boom��


    ��Jesus!��


    ��Ohmygod!��


    ��Save people quickly!��


    The moment the car crashed into the sea, a group of people on the yacht suddenly screamed. Some people picked up cameras to take photos, and some called the police. The staff who had been patrolling the area also immediately started the yacht to enter the water towards the car. The location was opened.


    ?At the same time, three cars on the street not far away stopped on the side of the road with harsh brake sounds. Several people quickly got out of the car and ran to the broken railing to look down.


    ?When they saw several yachts circling around a bubbling place, their faces all became extremely ugly.


    Several people from different organizations looked at me, and I looked at you, and then they snorted coldly, and turned around and returned to their cars. While reporting the situation, they drove the car away from here and headed to the port, trying to clear out the car. specific situation.


    Just as people from all parties were heading to the location where the car crashed into the sea, trying to send people to salvage and check the situation, on the other side of the port, a yacht was docked on the edge. In a dark place with lack of lights on the side, a man and a woman emerged from The sea slowly floated up.


    ?Caroline had no strength at this time, and her whole body was still shaking due to the cold water. Luo An picked her up from the sea and carried her into the interior room of the yacht that had been prepared in advance.


    ?Handing the bath towel and new clothes to Caroline, Luoan turned and left the room. He stood in the living room while changing clothes and called Mona:


    ��Where has your side reached now?��


    ��It��s time to reach the final step. The CIA��s enhanced Veritaserum is very effective. Bernekov said a lot of things.��


    ??In the basement of a certain room, Mona raised her head and glanced at Bonykov-Robert, who was sitting on a chair not far away and had fainted. Then she lowered her head, typing on the computer, and asked:


    ��What��s going on over there? How is Caroline?��


    During the entire operation today, Roan kept dragging Caroline along. He was really forced to do so, because among the three of them, only Mona was good at computers, interrogation, investigation and counter-reconnaissance. Therefore, the task of driving Bonikov to leave first was no choice. Leave it to her.


    ??Luo An took Caroline and drove in the opposite direction to cover Mona.


    As for why not to replace Caroline with a dummy, on the one hand, time is tight and there is no time to make two. On the other hand, the pursuers must see Caroline running and alive, so that they can identify Luo An. real. The chance of being discovered holding two dummies is much greater than the chance of being discovered holding one dummy.


    ??Luo An took off his fingers to cover his fingerprints, but they were soaked in seawater and got a glove. Just as he was about to answer the question, Mona on the other end of the phone suddenly exclaimed:


    ��Luo An! My father is still alive! I found the place where he was imprisoned!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 433： clues, thirty-six strategies, harvest, conspiracy

    Chapter 433 Clues, Thirty-Six Strategies, Harvest, Conspiracy


    In the yacht, Luo An took off his wet clothes and put them into a backpack, preparing to take them away and destroy them together with Caroline''s wet clothes.


    Hearing Mona say that Jawali is still alive, Luo An asked while putting on new clothes:


    "Where is he?"


    ��In an underground bunker in Albania.��


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone typed on the keyboard a few times and replied:


    ��That��s a transit point for the human trafficking criminal organization under the banner of Burnekov.��


    Luo An nodded understandingly:


    ��OK, I��ll go back later.��


    After hanging up the phone, Luo An thought about the situation in Albania. Because of a certain unreliable leader, this small country is full of bunkers and has obtained nearly 1 million guns and more than one billion from other countries. Shoot bullets, a bunch of tanks and planes.


    Not long after, Albania��s Ponzi scheme led to the bankruptcy of the country��s finances and people. As a result, various gangs and criminal organizations quickly emerged in a short period of time, and human trafficking directly became a basic business.


    Thinking of this, Luo An had a slight headache.


    The good news is that they don��t have to worry about weapons and ammunition this time when they go to Albania, because the most valuable thing there is weapons, and AK bullets can be bought for two cents each.


    The bad news is that the guards responsible for detaining Gyawali are not short of weapons. Considering that ordinary people there can drive tanks to go shopping, the guards may not be short of tanks either...


    After thinking for a few seconds, Luo An slowly thought about plans A to Z. After changing clothes, he walked to the room deep in the yacht and knocked on the door:


    ��Caroline, how are you?��


    ��I��ve finished packing.��


    ?The door opened quickly, and Caroline''s face was still a little pale. She stuffed her wet clothes into the backpack in Luo An''s hand, and then left the area in a car with Luo An.


    On the way, Roan told Caroline that Mona had found Jawali. Caroline suddenly felt happy, then she thought about it, lowered her head and counted on her fingers.


    ? Luo An was a little confused:


    ��What are you thinking about?��


    ��I��m thinking about your plans these days.��


    Caroline said this sentence in Chinese. She clapped her fingers and said with admiration:


    ��There is an ancient book in the East called Thirty-Six Strategies. From the time when the Federation went to Europe, you used the words in this book to hide things from the sky, create things out of nothing, make false claims to the east and attack the west, covertly conceal the old warehouse, hide a knife in a smile, scare the snake in the grass, capture the thief and capture the king, escape from the golden cicada, hide your ears and steal the bell, and work together..."


    ��Stop!��


    Hearing that Caroline''s idioms became more and more outrageous, Luo An interrupted her with a black line on his face:


    ��The following words don��t seem to be in Thirty-Six Strategies.��


    "Yeah?"


    ?Caroline blinked, and then said that Eastern culture is too complicated, and it is good that she can understand so much. Don''t worry about small details and mistakes.


    ?Caroline then looked at Luo An with wide eyes, switched her language back to English, and asked with a smile:


    ��What are you going to do next to rescue my father? Are you still using the words in that book?��


    "maybe."


    Roan was still not sure. A few minutes later, he drove the car out of Monaco and into France.


    ����


    As a wealthy man who cares about his own life safety, Mr. Burnekov-Robert spent a lot of money to implant a positioning chip in his arm.


    It''s a pity that Luo An thought of this possibility. Although he couldn''t be 100% sure, but based on the principle of caution and just in case, Luo An still asked Mona to get a shielding device and was stuffed in Bernekov When getting into the car, Mona followed Luo An''s plan and tied the jammer directly to his stomach.


    After the effect of the [Sleep Potion] wore off, Bonykov woke up and found himself tied to a chair. He was not very panicked. He even smiled slightly, showing off his calm temperament.


    ??But when he lowered his head and found something tied around his stomach, and a woman wearing a mask holding a needle to stab himself, Bonykov''s expression changed, and he finally couldn''t hold himself back and cursed loudly. Roan and Caroline arrived in the basement and saw Bonykov lowering his head, muttering in a low voice, and even drooling. They were stunned for a moment. Caroline frowned and looked at Mona:


    ��Have you made him dementia?��


    "Probably not. Bonykov''s physical condition is not good, and I didn''t do it on purpose."


    ? Mona spread her hands and felt a little helpless, saying that the dose of truth serum she injected into Bonykov was the same as that given by Luo An to the two guys who were guarding the music store.


    ??But Bonykov is a little older and his body has been emptied by wine and sex, so he looks like this.


    ��Forget it, it��s not important.��


    ?Caroline wanted to say something else, but Roan waved his hand, walked to Mona, and looked down at the interrogation records she had compiled.


    ??Mona asked a lot of questions, and the content was varied. In addition to information about her father Jawali, there was also a lot of information about the human trafficking criminal organization, as well as Bernekov��s own bank account and secret bank account number.


    What is somewhat surprising is that although Bonykov is a rich man and apparently owns several companies, those companies are all fixed assets and do not have much cash flow. His real major assets are the trafficked women and children. And the messy black industry.


    But these things cannot be easily converted into legal funds. After a long interrogation, Mona asked Bernekov for a secret account number with 130 million euros in it. This was the pension money that Bernekov had prepared for himself. .


    ��Lacie will probably die of jealousy if she knows so much pension money.��


    ??Luo An chuckled and decisively asked Mona to transfer the pension money to another bank account. Caroline''s eyes gleamed when she saw this scene. After thinking about it, she asked:


    ��What are we going to do with this guy Bonykov-Robert?��


    ��Fish in troubled waters and frame someone up.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, without any nonsense, he took out his pistol and sent Burnekov-Robert to **** to let him redeem his sins.


    ??Then Luo An patted Mona on the shoulder and said:


    ��Mona, send a message to one of the persons in charge of this criminal organization in Greece. The content is: The order has been completed. Please enter the original account number within the specified time for subsequent payments. Happy cooperation.


    ?In addition, if this news is leaked "accidentally", it is best to be discovered by MI6 or CIA. "


    As mentioned before, Bernekov is only one of the three heads of the European business of this human trafficking criminal organization. The other two heads are one in the United Kingdom and one in Greece.


    ??On the surface, the three responsible persons seem to have a good relationship, but secretly they all want to kick the other two out and take charge of the business themselves.


    After receiving the news, the person in charge of Greece knew that someone was framing him, but he would never say that he was framed. He would only immediately plunder and seize the business and territory left after Bernekov''s death.


    The CIA and MI6 will doubt the authenticity of this matter, but they have no choice. After all, they found the clues "through their own efforts", and the Greek person in charge has the most to gain afterwards, so they can only investigate him first.


    ??At that time, the person in charge of Greece will fight to the death with the CIA and MI6, and the European underground world will be in chaos. Everyone''s attention will be attracted to them. Luo An and the others can get Gyawali out silently.


    Papa pa pa��


    After thinking about this, Caroline looked at Luo An with admiration, applauded him, and praised:


    "Luo An, you are so powerful. Isn''t this what the East calls "yang conspiracy"?"


    Luo An chuckled:


    ��Don��t stop, keep praising, I like to hear it.��


    ����


    Caroline rolled her eyes when she heard this, and Mona, who was sitting next to her, asked while typing on the keyboard:


    ��So, we��re going to Albania later?��


    ��NO.��


    ?Luo An pondered for a few seconds, shook his head slowly, took out his mobile phone and said:


    ��I need to make a phone call first.��


    ??Mona and Caroline were a little confused:


    ��Who to call?��


    ��Mrs. Hanover.��

 Chapter 434： Start the rescue and suddenly encounter a third party!

    Chapter 434: The rescue begins and a sudden encounter with a third party!


    Before the previous gambling game, Luo An had always been skeptical about Mrs. Hanover''s position.


    ?According to the information Mona has investigated in the past, Mrs. Hanover has almost no contact with gambling. She prefers cocktail parties and art exhibitions in high society in Europe, so her trip to Monaco this time is very questionable.


    ??When Caroline and Luo An entered the room and sat down at the card table, Luo An noticed that Mrs. Hanover''s eyes moved slightly. It was obvious that she had noticed the two of them, but she did not make any announcement.


    ?? Later in the official card game, Luo An discovered that Mrs. Hanover didn''t care about winning or losing at all. After a few rounds of simple testing, Luo An discovered that she was just rushing to lose money to Bonikov.


    From this, Luo An made a bold speculation that Mrs. Hanover might have obtained the news that Javari was in the hands of Bonikov through her own means.


    Roan''s plan is to win a large sum of money from Bernekov through a card game and get the opportunity to meet Bonikov privately.


    Mrs. Hanover did not have this ability, so she planned to lose money to Bernekov to meet with him in private. The two sides had different paths, but the same goal.


    ??Afterwards, when Roan and Caroline successfully kidnapped Bonikov, Mrs. Hanover''s performance in the casino also confirmed this:


    Monacha also sent people to chase Roan and Caroline, but the people she sent were more likely to cause trouble for Bernekov''s men. This was obviously to help Roan and Caroline escape better. Hunt.


    ��Good evening, Mr. Detective.��


    Hearing Luo An��s voice, Mrs. Hanover from afar laughed softly:


    ��It seems that I underestimated you before.��


    Mrs. Hanover already knew from her subordinates that Luo An successfully escaped capture, but she didn''t ask in detail. She didn''t care how Luo An did it. She just wanted to know where Jawali was.


    ��Good evening, Mrs. Hanover.��


    ? Luo An chuckled, said nothing nonsense, and directly expressed that he needed her help next.


    Mrs. Hanover waved her hand:


    ��Just say it.��


    ��Mr Gyawali is currently being held in Albania where he has a number of guards.��


    ??Luo An mentioned the address of a bunker, saying that the enemy there was outnumbered and had tough physical methods. In addition, the opponent had local advantages. It seemed a little difficult for the three of them to rescue Jawali alone.


    ?After listening to Luo An��s narration, Mrs. Hanover suddenly nodded, smiled slightly and nodded in agreement:


    ��OK, I understand what you mean.��


    Mrs. Hanover said that she would send some subordinates with better physical means to rescue Gyawali later.


    After finishing speaking, Mrs. Hanover asked with a smile:


    ��Mr. Detective, after the deal with Caroline ends, do you have any plans to change your job?��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly:


    ��What does Mrs. Hanover mean?��


    Thinking of the previous scene of Luo An playing at the card table, and Luo An and Caroline''s successful kidnapping of Bernekov, Mrs. Hanover''s eyes were full of brilliance. She admired Luo An very much now and wanted to take Luo An under her control. work.


    ??Luo An smiled and declined Mrs. Hanover, but this was a good thing, indicating that Luo An''s previous nesting doll disguise plan was successful. Mrs. Hanover has not yet found out Luo An''s true identity.


    Mrs. Hanover, who was rejected, didn''t say much. The two parties reconfirmed the situation in Albania, simply set a time and hung up the phone.


    ��OK.��


    Roan threw the phone to Caroline and stretched it hard. Mona next to her also closed her laptop, raised her head and said:


    ��The news has been sent to the person in charge in Greece, and it was also ��accidentally�� known to MI6.��


    MI6 knows about it, which means that the CIA will know about it soon.


    ??Luo An nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and briefly disposed of Bonikov''s body. Luo An erased all traces of the three people''s existence, and finally drove away from the area to the hospital. The next day, Luo An and the three took a boat across the Mediterranean to Albania.


    ??The language of Albania is Albanian, which is an independent language with a spelling similar to Latin. Roan and Mona cannot read or understand it.


    Fortunately, the three-person team also included Caroline, an expert who was proficient in most European languages. After successfully finding a place to live, with the help of money and the landlord, the three of them soon obtained several pistols and rifles. A few grenades and a bunch of ammo. The pistol and rifle looked a bit old on the outside, but fortunately they were practical and cheap. After a brief process, the three of them rented a car and headed to the area where Gyawali was being held.


    The place where Jawari was imprisoned is in the Korca district of Albania. To the right of Korca District are the two countries of Macedonia and Greece. Because it is close to the border between the two countries, this area is one of the important transit points for human trafficking organizations.


    ??Arrived in this area, Luo An had a phone call with Mrs. Hanover again, and soon contacted the person sent by Mrs. Hanover.


    There are thirteen people on the other side. They are a mercenary group privately funded by Mrs. Hanover''s family. The leader is a strong Czech named Wojcek.


    xihao.


    ?Seeing the three of Luo An, Wojciek stretched out his hand to shake Caroline first, then Luo An, and finally Mona.


    It��s not that Wojciek looks down on Roan, but the information he received showed that Caroline is the leader of the three, and Roan and Mona are Caroline��s subordinates.


    Luo An didn''t care either. Caroline didn''t know much about fighting. After a few brief exchanges, she stepped back, indicating that she would listen to Luo An for her next actions.


    Wojcek frowned upon hearing this and turned his eyes to Luo An.


    ��Hello, Mr. Wojciek.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, knowing what the other party was worried about, so he made it clear that during the next action, he would obey the other party''s command and would never compete with Wojciek for leadership.


    Hearing this, Wojciek''s mouth suddenly grinned.


    ?Having been on the battlefield for many years, Wojciek is most afraid of not how terrifying the enemy is, but of his teammates who are holding their hips back.


    ?Before the three Luo An arrived here, the resolute Wojciek had already sent several members of the mercenary team out to investigate the situation and information about the bunker where Gyawali was being held.


    ��The specific room where the target person is found is not found.��


    After the team members came back, they reported:


    ��But we found that the bunker has four floors, one on the ground and three underground.


    Judging from the daily food requirements of the bunker, there are about three hundred people inside.


    Among these foods, there are only 50 high-calorie foods, and the rest can only meet the basic needs of human survival.


    So the remaining 250 people should be trafficked women, children and prisoners of similar target persons. "


    ��OK.��


    After learning the number of enemies in the anchor, Wojciek nodded with satisfaction. After carefully checking the equipment and ammunition on his body, Mona and Caroline stayed outside, Roan was assigned to his side, and finally Wojcek With a wave of his hand:


    ��Start taking action! Fight quickly!��


    "clear!"


    As a mercenary group that has been on the line of life and death on the battlefield all year round, this raid on the human trafficking organization and the rescue of Gyawali was an easy task for Wojciek and others.


    So their plan is very simple, break in suddenly, make a quick attack, get straight to the point, rescue the target person and quickly retreat, and conduct a lightning operation.


    The plan was simple to formulate and executed smoothly. The traffickers in the bunker were no match for this group of mercenaries who had been licking blood all year round. They were beaten back steadily without any reaction and were unable to fight back.


    Just as Wojcek took Luo An and others deep into the second underground floor of the bunker, the communicator hanging on Wojcek''s chest suddenly sounded the high-pitched voice of the mercenary group who stayed on the first floor of the bunker to guard the situation. A cry:


    ��My cousin raised me! Boss, a third party is here!��


    ?Bang bang bang��


    As soon as he finished speaking, the communicator suddenly heard a fiercer firefight than before!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 435： To find Jawali, the ideas and plans of all forces

    Chapter 435: Finding Gyawali, the ideas and plans of all parties


    ?Bang bang bang bang bang��


    The firefight this time was far more intense than the previous exchange of fire between the Wojciek mercenary group and the human traffickers. Moreover, two of the few mercenaries who stayed on the first floor died quickly, and the remaining one quickly escaped into the underground of the bunker. layer.


    ��Fu-k!��


    When Wojciek heard the news, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he quickly ordered the rest of the team members to retreat underground.


    Luo An''s expression also changed. He thought of Mona and Caroline outside. He took out his mobile phone and found that he couldn''t contact them. He frowned slightly, wondering what their situation was now.


    ��Alois!��


    The situation was urgent now. Wojciek glanced at Luo An calmly, stretched out his hand to pull a team member, and motioned for him to follow Luo An and continue to the third underground floor of the bunker.


    ?The underground floor of the bunker is the residence of the traffickers and the storage room for weapons, ammunition and food.


    There were a lot of abducted women and children in the second underground floor, but Jawali was not found inside.


    ?Seeing the look in the eyes from the boss Wojciek, Alois pursed his lips and nodded, leading two teammates and continuing to walk down together with Luo An.


    Roan next to him had a flash of light in his eyes, and he also understood Wojciek''s eyes. The other party suspected that the group outside was brought by Luo An, so if Alois found something wrong, he would kill Luo An first.


    ? To save others by oneself, if it were Luo An, he would also make such a choice, so Luo An did not feel angry, just pretended that he had not seen anything, but he was silently vigilant.


    ? Wojcek suspected that Luo An had a problem, and Luo An also suspected that Wojcek''s men had a problem. The group outside might have been caused by Wojcek''s men.


    ?Entering the third underground floor of the bunker, there was not a single caretaker. The first feeling that several people felt when they walked in here was only two words: damp and smelly.


    Even Alois��s three mercenaries, who were used to seeing corpses on the battlefield, frowned and covered their noses.


    Luo An was also stricken by the compound odor that was difficult to express in words, but now that time was running out, he hurried forward and checked every room.


    Soon, Roan found Javari Evans in the fifth small room on the left.


    Jawali''s hair and beard were long and messy at this time, his eyes were sunken and his face was dry. His whole person was much thinner than the image in the photo provided by Caroline.


    ??If he hadn''t seen that he was missing his left hand, Luo An would not have recognized him for a while.


    Hearing Luo An call his name, Jawali turned his head from the bed with difficulty and asked in a hoarse voice:


    "Who are you?"


    ��I��m an ordinary private detective.��


    With several mercenaries like Alois here, and due to other considerations, Roan did not explain his true identity, only stating that he was entrusted by Caroline and came here specifically to rescue Jawali.


    After saying that, Luo An ignored Jawali''s reaction and shot the lock on the door. Seeing that Jawali was struggling to get up because he had been hungry for a long time, Luo An directly carried him on his shoulders, turned around and quickly walked out. Walk.


    ?Alois and the other two mercenaries looked at each other and found nothing wrong. They quickly followed Luo An and left the third underground floor as if they were running away.


    There were a group of women and children locked up in a room on the second underground floor. Luo An broke the door lock of their room while on the way, but the gunfire was still going on upstairs, and these women and children had no intention of coming out.


    On the underground floor, gunshots, shouts and curses echoed endlessly. When Luo An carried Jawali up here, a bomb exploded not far away.


    ? ? Bang bang bang �� ? ? A burst of gunfire rang out, and Wojcek''s mercenary group lost one more person.


    ����%#����


    When Wojciek saw this scene, his face was extremely ugly, and he cursed a lot of swear words in other languages ??that Luo An couldn''t understand.


    Smelling an irritating smell, Wojciek turned his head subconsciously and found that it was Luo An who was carrying Jawali. He glanced at Alois behind Luo An and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��Is this the target person?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Because Luo An��s running movements were a bit intense, Jawali had already passed out.


    ??Luo An was speechless. He put him on the ground, pulled over a corpse, took off the body armor and put it on Jawali. Then he took out his pistol and moved behind Wojciek and asked:


    ��Do you know who the other party is?��


    ��Also a mercenary.��


    When Wojciek heard this, he immediately cursed. Luo An learned from his swearing that the group of people opposite was a mercenary group called "Desert Storm". In the past, Wojciek and his mercenary group had had small conflicts. There was a conflict. I don��t know whose order the other party accepted this time and came here to attack them.


    Using the word "Desert Lion" as the name of the mercenary group seemed a bit low, but Luo An''s attention was not focused on it. He suddenly remembered the two different documents he had found before.


    ??The computer found in the safe house once contained a specific action plan and instructions for next steps.


    In the action plan, the name "Desert Lion" appeared as a mercenary group.


    At that time, Luo An simply glanced at it and put it in the back of his mind. Now that he combined the mercenaries outside with the document, plus the fact that Jawali was missing and imprisoned, Luo An''s mind turned quickly and he finally figured out what happened. Approximately:


    ?There is a mole in the CIA where Javari-Evans works.


    ??This mole gave Gyawali a document that was both true and false, causing Gyawali''s mission to fail.


    The true goal of the mole is to let Gyawali die in this operation.


    But according to Mona��s interrogation, it was learned that Bonykov wanted to ask some things from Gyawali, and at the same time planned to use Gyawali as a gift to one of his partners, so he did not kill Gyawali, but Imprisoned him.


    The ghost was very angry when he found out about this, but he had no choice but to send people to find out where Jawali was imprisoned and find a way to kill him and silence him.


    On the other side, the mole forged a mission document and placed it in the basement room to check if anyone was ready to rescue Jawali. The mole planned to trick the person who rescued Jawali into a trap and let the "Desert Lion Mercenary" "Group" and others killed the rescuer without anyone noticing.


    This mole and the CIA member Perna in the poker game are most likely not on the same team. Mona has checked before and found that the opponent and Jawali are not on the same team. Perna''s real goal is simply to capture Bernekov. , to figure out where Gyawali is, there is a high probability that she belongs to the faction within the CIA that chose to rescue Gyawali.


    A CIA mole with ulterior motives who wants to kill Gyawali, a CIA rescue group represented by Perna, an MI6 who wants to capture Bonykov and find out where the traitorous agent is, and someone who wants to save people. Mrs. Hanover, and the Luo An trio who also want to save people...


    ?Thinking about the forces and thoughts of all parties, Luo An suddenly grinned. The operation to rescue Javari Evans was definitely the most powerful thing he had encountered since he came to this world.


    ??And none of the people in these forces are simple. If Luo An hadn''t acted quickly and directly, who knows how far this matter would have developed.


    Boom!


    The sudden explosion of a grenade drew Luo An''s attention back.


    ??The mercenary group on the opposite side lost their patience and began to throw grenades frantically into the underground floor, obviously intending to blow up the stairs and completely bury Luo An, Wojciek and others.


    Luo An, who couldn''t get through to Mona and Caroline, looked stern. We''ll talk about the mole later. The most important thing right now is to get out of here! Find Mona and Caroline!

    Chapter 436 AK single shot, destroying the mercenary group!


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Shit!��


    ��*#%����


    Seeing that the other party was planning to bury the person, the five remaining mercenaries on the first floor of the basement, as well as Wojciek, all changed their expressions.


    Wojcek didn''t care too much. With a wave of his hand, he asked the team members to tear off the body armor from the corpses on the ground, and then rushed up with the body armor against the bullets.


    "Hey you��"


    Wojcek looked back at Luo An. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly found Luo An lowering his head to arrange grenades, bundling together the remaining bullets, weapons and grenades on the corpses.


    ? Wojcek was stunned for a moment:


    "what are you planning to do?"


    ��Blow up the building!��


    ??Roan grinned, revealing a smile that made Wojciek''s pupils tremble.


    ?At the moment, it is obvious that the "Desert Lion" mercenaries upstairs plan to blow up the stairs and bury Luo An and others underground forever with cement masonry and other rubble.


    Once the other party succeeds, they will inevitably face lack of water, food and oxygen when buried underground.


    There is still a way to do not be human in water and food, which can make them support for a while.


    But once there is a lack of oxygen, all you can do is wait for death.


    The body armor can only withstand some damage caused by bullets, and is completely useless against the grenade offensive upstairs. Wojcek''s order just now was actually to ask the team members to block the gun for him. Wojcek used the lives of his team members to protect him. Fight for your own chance of survival.


    Rather than bet on whether the opponent''s bullets and grenades are enough, Luo An prefers to surprise the enemy by using bombs to blow a hole above his head, and then climb up through the hole to attack the enemies upstairs.


    This method also has risks, but it is much lower than Wojciek''s plan, so Luo An quickly ran into a room deep in the underground layer, placed the prepared bundled bomb close to the ceiling, and then ran out of the room. He raised the pistol from a distance, aimed at it and pulled the trigger.


    boom!


    Boom��


    ?The next second the gunshot sounded, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and a pile of dust instantly fell on the heads of Wojciek''s team members.


    The dust quickly dispersed, and a hole nearly two meters in diameter appeared in their eyes. Wojcek was overjoyed when he saw this and said:


    ��Get weapons! Let��s go upstairs from here and fight back!��


    "clear!"


    ??The mercenary members, who also looked happy, immediately responded loudly, and then climbed up from the hole one by one with weapons.


    ??This bunker is not small, with many rooms on each floor. What Luo An blew up was the floor of a room deep on the first floor.


    The members of the Desert Lion mercenary team only heard a loud noise coming from the room not far away, but they did not expect Luo An''s operation of blowing up the ceiling, so they were caught off guard.


    Luo An carried the still unconscious Jawali to the first floor, threw Jawali into a pile of boxes to cover up, drank a bottle of hemostatic potion, a bottle of stamina potion, a bottle of agility potion, and first threw a grenade Opening the way, he took the AK rifle he picked up and rushed out closely behind Wojciek and others.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Luo An adjusted the AK in his hand to single-shot mode, and moved around in various rooms like a ghost. Under the shocked eyes of Wojciek and others, as well as the Desert Lion mercenaries and others, he shot one after another. Headshot is like a grim reaper holding an AK. Every time a gunshot falls, a mercenary dies under his gun.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Where did this monster come from?��


    ��Give me the fire on this guy!��


    A total of twenty-two Desert Lion mercenaries came on this trip. In the blink of an eye, Luo An killed eight with a single point with his AK. In addition, Wojciek and others killed six. The leader of the Desert Lion mercenaries Extremely angry and with a chill in his heart, he took out a grenade and threw it at Luo An''s position, loudly ordering everyone to shoot at Luo An.


    Boom��


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ??The grenade exploded, and a large number of bullets flew towards Luo An''s position. Upon seeing this, Luo An quickly turned over and hid behind a bunker. While dodging the bullets, he also replaced the AK with a new magazine.


    ?A few seconds later, the fierce gunfire temporarily stopped. Luo An was about to stand up and continue the attack when he suddenly found that the remaining members of the Desert Lion Mercenary Group began to retreat out of the bunker.


    "No! Get out of here!" Before Luo An could say anything, Wojciek''s face suddenly changed. He quickly got up and ran frantically to the window on the other side of the bunker, shouting as he ran:


    ��This is the combat habit of the Desert Lion Mercenary Group. They plan to use RPG to clear the ground!��


    ��Fu-k!��


    Luo An''s expression changed after hearing this. He had no intention of using his body to confront the RPG head-on, so he quickly found the unconscious Jawali and carried him quickly out of the bunker from the other side.


    ����


    Boom! boom! boom!


    Several pointed and fat-bellied warheads crossed arcs and broke into the interior of the bunker. The next second, there was a sudden explosion that shook the earth. The entire bunker instantly collapsed and turned into ruins. Luo An and others lay heavily on the ground. On the ground, almost buried in rubble.


    ��What a bunch of beasts!��


    Thinking of the women and children below the bunker who were afraid to move because of fear, Luo An frowned and cursed several times in a low voice. Without hesitation, he immediately picked up the AK rifle and took advantage of the dust generated by the explosion to dissipate. Stomping on the ground, he rushed towards the location of the Desert Lion group like a cheetah.


    ��Check the scene carefully!��


    Looking at the razed bunker, the captain of the Desert Lion Mercenary Group glanced at the number of people who had been reduced by half, snorted coldly, and ordered loudly:


    ��Make sure those people are dead!��


    "clear!"


    ??The remaining seven members of the Desert Lion Mercenary Group nodded loudly.


    boom! boom!


    ?Putting the RPG aside, the seven people picked up their rifles and prepared to check the situation. Suddenly, two gunshots were heard from the side, and then two people were hit in the head and fell to the ground.


    ��There are enemies on the side!��


    ��I saw him!��


    ?Seeing their teammates fall to the ground, all of them reacted extremely quickly. They aimed their guns in the direction of Luo An and pulled the trigger without hesitation.


    But Luo An was very fast and his marksmanship was extremely sharp. He moved left and right between several bunkers like a ghost and kept shooting. At the cost of being shot twice in his left arm and calf, a single AK shot hit his head continuously. Not only did he kill the remaining five team members, but he also shot the leader of the Desert Lion mercenary team in the right hand holding the gun.


    ?Hold the AK rifle, Luo An had a cold face, stepped over the corpses with shocked and surprised faces, and walked slowly to the leader of the Desert Lion mercenary team.


    The eyes of the leader of the Desert Lion mercenary team were filled with shock. He swallowed slowly and did not choose to give up. Seeing Luo An walking in front of him, he shouted and took out a dagger from his pocket with his left hand, and pointed it fiercely at Luo An stabbed it.


    score


    Luo An slightly dodged to the left to avoid the dagger, raised his right leg and kicked him hard. Then he grabbed the dagger and plunged it directly into the left hand of the captain of the Desert Lion mercenary team, nailing his left hand firmly. on the ground.


    "ah-"


    Bang!


    The captain of the Desert Lion mercenary team screamed, and Luo An punched him in the face. Then he bent down, his whole body exuding an indescribable chill, staring into the opponent''s eyes, and asked in a cold voice:


    ��Where are the two women? Who sent you?��


    Hearing this, the captain of the Desert Lion Mercenary Team suddenly grinned and said ferociously:


    ��Let me go and I��ll tell you.��


    ��Then you go and die.��


    After hearing this, Luo An stared at the opponent''s eyes for a few seconds, suddenly grinned, and stopped talking nonsense. He stood up and kicked the captain of the Desert Lion mercenary team in the stomach, then picked up a grenade from the corpse beside him and stuffed it into the Desert Lion mercenary. The captain of the army said, turning around and leaving without looking back.


    Boom!


    Seeing the captain of the Desert Lion mercenary team behind Luo An, who was blown to pieces by a burst of fire, and the corpses with heads shot everywhere in front of Luo An, Wojciek took a breath and looked at Luo An. Extremely shocked, disbelief written all over his face.


    ?Seeing Luo An carrying the AK around him and walking straight away, Wojciek swallowed and asked dryly:


    "Where are you going?"


    ����


    ??Luo An replaced the AK in his hand with a new magazine, drank a bottle of analgesic medicine where Wojciek could not see it, and replied in a cold voice without looking back:


    ��Kill!��

 Chapter 437： Kidnapper, AK single shot, kill the driver first

    Chapter 437: Kidnapper, AK single shot, kill the driver first


    Albania, Korca District, in a building two kilometers southwest of a certain bunker.


    ??A desert lion mercenary group is missing **** on his right hand. A mercenary named Bert is holding a communication device and shouting loudly:


    "Boss? Are you there? What''s going on over there?"


    ?After the words fell, there was no response from the other end of the communication device. Bert swallowed and was silent for a second. He dialed the communicators of other people in the team.


    Still no one answered.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Upon seeing this, Bert''s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He put away the communicator, walked out of the room quickly, and said in a solemn voice to the three mercenary team members in the corridor outside:


    ��Everyone, I��m afraid the mission failed, boss, let��s evacuate as soon as possible!��


    ��What?��


    "What did you say?"


    ?Several mercenary members looked at each other in disbelief and said:


    ��Are there other organizations coming in?��


    ???The mercenaries in the Desert Lion team know their boss and equipment very well. They have also read the enemy''s information before setting off for this mission. In addition, this is a sneak attack, so they do not think that this mission will fail at all.


    ?Now that the boss and his teammates are all unable to contact each other, the only reasonable explanation they can think of is that after the person who carried out the sneak attack this time, someone else carried out a sneak attack on them.


    ��I don��t know the specific situation. Evacuate immediately first. We��ll talk about the rest later!��


    As a mercenary, it is a basic skill to run away immediately when something goes wrong.


    Staying here waiting for the enemy to come, or rushing out to avenge the boss, Bert thought that he had never thought of such a plan. He was not one of those brainless guys.


    ��OK!��


    ?Several mercenaries nodded repeatedly. One of them opened the door behind him, pointed at the situation in the room, and asked:


    ��What should they do?��


    ?In the room, it was Mona and Caroline who were tied together and had tape on their mouths. Next to them lay the corpses of two members of Wojciek''s mercenary team.


    ?Not long after Roan and Wojcek entered the bunker, the Desert Lion mercenary group made a sneak attack on the area.


    ??The incident happened suddenly, and the other party had a large number of people. The few people who stayed outside the bunker did not react at all, and were made dumplings by the Desert Lion mercenary group.


    ??Two of Wojciek''s team members were killed by direct headshots. Mona and Caroline were left behind because the Desert Lion mercenary captain received a call.


    ��Take them with you!��


    ??Burt waved his hand to take Mona and Caroline with him, partly because he was right next to him when the boss answered the phone and heard the person on the other end of the phone naming them and wanting to keep them.


    On the other hand, Mona and Caroline can be held together, and they can be used as hostages at critical moments, or used to block guns.


    "clear!"


    After hearing this, several mercenaries immediately walked into the room, untied the ropes around Mona and Caroline''s legs, put guns to their heads, and said sternly:


    ��Get up! Get in the car with us!��


    After all, Mona is the FBI and has taken similar courses at the FBI training academy in the past, so she was not very panicked. Her mouth was sealed and she couldn''t speak. Mona glared at the mercenary beside her, then stood up to protect Ka Rowling walked out.


    ?Caroline''s eyes were red and her body was shaking. She was the most frightened one because she had never learned what to do if she was kidnapped in the first half of her life.


    ?Several people on the other side were holding guns against her, and their eyes were not very clean. Caroline, who was well-read and knowledgeable, instantly recalled many messy stories and tragedies in her mind.


    ??Had Mona not been comforting her by pinching each other''s fingers and sending messages through Morse code, Caroline felt that she might not be able to hold on any longer.


    The two were pushed into the back seat of a large off-road vehicle. They looked at the two mercenaries sitting next to them with guns guarding them. Caroline''s hands were tied behind her, and Mona was also grabbed. The hands tied behind his back began to squeeze Mona''s fingers crazily and asked in Morse code:


    "what should we do?"


    ��Where are they taking us?�� ��How is Roan?��


    ��Will Luo An come to save us?��


    ����


    Seeing the off-road vehicle start to drive into the distance, Mona felt very anxious, but she still suppressed the negative emotions in her heart and slowly pinched her fingers to respond to Caroline:


    ��Believe in Luo An, believe in him.��


    Caroline''s face turned pale. She had not been a religious person before, but occasionally went to church to attend services with some friends out of politeness.


    But now Caroline hopes that God is real, and starts to pray to God crazily deep in her heart...


    ?At the same time, on the top of a house directly south of the off-road vehicle''s route, Luo An was holding an AK rifle and taking aim seriously.


    ?After killing the leader of the Desert Lion mercenary team, Luo An immediately drank a bottle of analgesic potion and ran to the position where Mona, Caroline and others had previously stayed.


    During this period, because the bullet was in his body, there was no pain but a foreign body sensation, which made him unable to run fast. So Luo An took out a dagger and dug out the bullets in his left arm and left calf.


    The hemostatic potion he drank quickly took effect. The wound did not heal but stopped bleeding. After Luo An ran to the stay position, he quickly found them based on the clues left by Mona and the traces left by the Desert Lion mercenaries. .


    ?Finding that the other party was about to drive away, Luo An quickly picked up the AK and took a shortcut to the side of the off-road vehicle''s path, preparing to block it with a gun.


    ��Ladies, relax, we won��t do anything to you now because someone wants to see you.��


    ?Seeing the uncontrollable panic in Caroline''s eyes, Bert, who was sitting in the passenger seat, chuckled, turned around, and looked at the two of them up and down.


    ??Mona glared at Burt when she saw this, and Caroline whimpered to express that she wanted to speak. Burt reached out and tore off the tape on Caroline''s mouth. Caroline swallowed and asked:


    ��Are you sure you won��t hurt us?��


    ��Of course, we won��t have trouble with money.��


    ??Burt spread his hands, and before Caroline could breathe a sigh of relief, Bert suddenly grinned and said:


    ��But if people say you are useless later, that may not necessarily be the case.��


    ?Caroline, who had just relaxed a little, was lifted up again with a look of horror on her face. Upon seeing this, Bert and the other mercenaries raised their heads and laughed.


    boom!


    At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and the next second, a hole appeared in the windshield of the off-road vehicle. The grinning driver was shot directly in the forehead, and his head sank and hit the steering wheel.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??Everyone in the off-road vehicle was startled. Bert, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly pushed away the dead driver and took control of the steering wheel.


    Not far ahead was a passerby''s house. Bert''s movement was a step too slow. The off-road vehicle directly smashed the wall of the house and broke into the room, and was covered by the collapsed house.


    Luo An, who was far away, sneered when he saw this, grabbed the wall in front of him, turned over and jumped off the roof.


    ��Shit!��


    "damn it!"


    In the off-road vehicle, Bert and the other two mercenaries hurriedly crawled out of the dust and cursed a few times. The three of them quickly reached out to grab Mona and Caroline. When they saw that the two women refused to get out of the car, they immediately raised their guns. shouted sharply:


    ��Get down quickly! Otherwise I will...��


    boom! boom!


    Before the mercenary could finish his words, two gunshots rang out, and the two men''s heads were suddenly shattered by bullets flying from a distance.


    ��*��%#����


    Bert''s pupils shrank suddenly when he saw this scene, and he quickly ran to the other side of the off-road vehicle to avoid the bullets. At the same time, he opened the door on the other side, pulled the screaming Caroline out of the car, and blocked it in front of him. , shouted loudly towards the smoke in the distance:


    ��Come out! Come out! Throw your weapons out! Otherwise I will shoot!��

 Chapter 438： Jawalis face turned stiff after learning Luo Ans identity.

    Chapter 438 Jawali��s face turned stiff after learning Luo An��s identity


    Until all his teammates died and he was the only one left, Bert always believed that the reason why his boss was wiped out was that another organization appeared to carry out a sneak attack. The killing of his teammates in the off-road vehicle was also the work of this organization.


    So when the dust cleared and he saw only Luo An holding an AK rifle, Bert couldn''t help but look back behind him and around him, and shouted loudly:


    ��Where are the others? Let them come out!��


    "nobody else."


    ??Luo An slowly moved forward with the AK in hand, grinning with a sneer:


    ��Give you a chance to put down your arms.��


    "impossible!"


    Bert still refused to believe Roan''s words. He kept observing his surroundings, paying full attention to guard against enemies that might appear behind him or in other directions. At the same time, he held a pistol against Caroline''s temple and screamed loudly. call:


    ��Don��t try to lie to me, I say for the last time, let those people come out, otherwise I will shoot!��


    ����


    Thinking about it from his perspective, Luo An can understand that the enemy opposite him doesn''t believe his own words.


    ?However, Luo An still felt a little speechless about this. He turned his eyes to Mona and Caroline, changed his tone, and said softly:


    ��How are you, are you okay? Sorry, I��m late.��


    ��We��re fine.��


    ?Mona, who was sitting in the car, and Caroline, who was being held hostage, saw Luo An��s face, their eyes lit up with excitement.


    ?Especially Caroline, although she is still being held hostage, her body is no longer shaking at all. She now believes in Luo An.


    When Mona answered the question, she gave Roan a look. She was sitting in the car at this time, very close to Bert, and could do something to attract his attention and help Roan get rid of him.


    ??Luo An, who was extremely familiar with Mona, understood her thoughts, but shook his head calmly. He had a way to deal with the other party, and there was no need to let Mona take risks.


    Ignoring Mona��s glance, Luo An said loudly:


    ��Hey! I can let my teammates come out, but don��t hurt the hostages!��


    ?Bert snorted coldly when he heard this:


    "Do not talk nonsense!"


    ��OK.��


    Roan put down his AK, then raised his hand and waved to the half-collapsed wall on his right and on Burt''s left:


    ��Brother, come out.��


    When Burt saw this, he subconsciously tilted his head and glanced in that direction. At this moment, Luo An suddenly moved to his left side quickly, then raised the AK and pulled the trigger towards Burt.


    boom! boom!


    Two single shots were fired. One bullet hit Burt''s right hand holding the gun, and another bullet hit his right arm.


    Just as Burt let out a scream, the next second, Luo An moved in front of him like a cheetah, and kicked Burt **** the waist with his whip leg. Burt was hit to the ground like a rag doll, and he was violently hit. A cloud of dust arose.


    ??Luo An followed closely and moved to Bert''s side. Bert subconsciously took out a dagger and stabbed him, but Luo An easily dodged it, then grabbed the dagger and threw it aside.


    ??Raised his fist and hit Burt **** the head, knocking him unconscious. Roan tore Burt''s coat to pieces and tied Burt''s hands and feet tightly together.


    ��Luo An!��


    Luo An took out a dagger and cut the rope on the hands of Caroline and Mona. Caroline took one step ahead of Mona and gave Luan a big hug. Then without waiting for Luo An and Mona to react, Caroline quickly ran to Beside the bound Bert, he raised his foot and kicked him hard.


    ����


    Luo An was speechless when he saw this. Mona stepped forward to hug Luo An and gave him a bite on the mouth. When she found the wound on Luo An''s left arm, Mona''s expression instantly became very nervous and she quickly rummaged through the body. Emergency medicines.


    Roan laughed upon seeing this and let Mona handle his left arm. When Caroline came back with a malicious mouth, he told the two of them about the situation of their father, Javari Evans.


    ��The mission was a success. The person was just locked up for a long time and was a little short of nutrition. Other than that, there was nothing serious.��


    ?Caroline''s face immediately lit up when she heard this. Mona raised her head and took a deep look at Luo An, and then continued to treat the wound on Luo An''s calf.


    Caroline thought for a while, pointed to Bert who was **** not far away, and asked: "Is there any use in keeping him?"


    ��He may know the identity of the mole or a clue.��


    ??Luo An briefly talked about the previous speculation, but he had no intention of finding out who the mole was. The father of the second daughter, Jawali should hate that person more than him.


    ?Sure enough, the next day, Javari-Evans drank some salt water. After his body recovered a little, he walked directly into the room where Bert was detained and interrogated him.


    The interrogation was not long and ended in less than ten minutes.


    Caroline was a little confused about this. Jawali laughed and said that he had carefully reviewed the situation of this mission dozens of times during his imprisonment, and investigated and analyzed everyone who had contact with this mission. .


    Jawali has already locked in a certain suspect, and interrogating Burt this time is just to verify his thoughts and guesses.


    The results of the interrogation proved that Gyawali��s judgment was correct, and the mole was who he thought he was.


    Luo An didn''t care and didn''t intend to ask who the identity of the mole was and what Jawali planned to do afterwards, because Jawali was staring at him intently at this time.


    At first, when Jawali woke up from the hospital bed, he saw Luo An with a smile on his face.


    ??Because Javari remembered that before he fell into coma, Luo An said that he was a private detective hired by Caroline. Although the other party was for money, he saved his life after all. Javari was still very grateful to Luo An.


    Later, when he saw Mona who had wiped off her disguise, Jawali was surprised. Just as he was about to say something, he learned from Caroline that Roan''s true identity was not a private detective, but Mona''s boyfriend. The smile on Jawali''s face suddenly froze, and the look he looked at Luo An suddenly became something wrong.


    ��I know you, Roan Greenwood.��


    Looking at the face in front of him that was even more handsome than when he was younger without any disguise, Jawali slowly exhaled a breath and said in a condensed voice:


    ��The youngest head of the FBI Special Investigations Unit, right?��


    ??While Jawali was sizing up Luo An, Luo An was also sizing him up.


    When he first came out of the dungeon, Jawali was unshaven, his hair was messy, and he looked more like a tramp than a tramp.


    Jawali has now taken a shower and taken care of his hair and beard. He has become a little thin due to malnutrition, but the mature, steady and handsome manly temperament still comes to his face. Luo An understands why Mrs. Hanover is so interested in Jawali never forgets it.


    ��That��s right, Mr. Gyawali.��


    Luo An chuckled and answered the other party''s question.


    ?? This was the first time in his two lives that he had a formal conversation with his father-in-law, but the scene now was different from what he had imagined before:


    The two were sitting on a cruise ship heading to France. He and Jawali were the only two people in the room. Mona and Caroline lived next door.


    ?There was a small coffee table in the center of the room. Javari and Luo An were sitting face to face. There was no tea on the coffee table, only three bottles of vodka and two wine glasses.


    ��Mona is my favorite daughter.��


    ??Jawali picked up a bottle of vodka, filled the wine glass in front of Luo An, and also filled the wine glass in front of himself. Then he picked up the wine glass and signaled:


    ��You saved my life this time, and I��m very grateful for that.


    But if you hurt her later, believe me, I will still shoot you. "


    ��I won��t give you this chance.��


    ?Luo An chuckled, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Jawali, and then the two of them raised their heads and drank down the wine in one gulp.


    ��A good drinker.��


    Putting down the wine glass and looking at Luo An, whose face was calm and his breathing was steady, Jawali nodded with satisfaction and continued to fill up the two glasses with vodka.


    The two picked up the wine glasses again, and Jawali suddenly asked:


    ��What do you think of Caroline?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 439： The end of the incident, the harvest, the old father’s disbelief

    Chapter 439 The end of the incident, harvest, and old father��s distrust


    Jawali��s words were meaningless and a bit sudden. Luo An was stunned for a moment and replied with a smile:


    ��Linguist, very smart.��


    "Yeah?"


    Hearing this, Jawali looked at Luo An deeply and said nothing. They clinked their glasses and drank again, and then started chatting about other topics.


    ?At the same time, next door to the room where Roan and Javari were, Mona was sitting on the table playing with the computer, and Caroline was lying on the bed, holding a pen and calculating their expenses and gains during this period.


    It cost a lot of money, but Caroline had forgotten it, and all her eyes were on the harvest.


    The first is the 152 million that Luo An won in the casino before.


    Before entering the casino, they had already allocated funds. As the leader of the card game, Luo An took 70%, a total of 106.4 million, and Caroline took 20%, a total of 30.4 million. , Mona gets 10%, a total of 15.2 million.


    In addition, there is also the 130 million pension fund that Bonikov prepared for himself. Luo An took 50% of this money, 65 million, and Mona and Caroline each received 25%. , 32.5 million.


    To add up the gains, Luo An received a total of 171.4 million, Mona received 47.7 million, and Caroline received 62.9 million.


    "ah-"


    Looking at the numbers in front of her, Caroline''s eyes flashed with an extremely bright light, she screamed excitedly, then she hugged Mona and kissed Mona **** the face.


    ??Mona was startled by Caroline''s sudden shouting. When she saw the other party suddenly attacking her, she immediately pushed her away with a look of disgust on her face:


    ��Caroline! Why are you crazy?!��


    ��Nothing, I just want to express my gratitude to you and Luo An.��


    Caroline chuckled, placed the results of her calculations in front of Mona, then put her hands on her hips and said with a smile:


    "Besides, I''m older than you, so you have to call me sister, not my name."


    ��Got it, Caroline.��


    ??Mona saw the numbers on the notebook, and a happy smile flashed in her eyes, but she didn''t pay much attention to Caroline. After replying casually, she threw the notebook back to Caroline and continued to type on the computer keyboard.


    "snort."


    ?Caroline threw the notebook back on the bed and snorted coldly. She looked at the sea water outside, suddenly came close to Mona, and asked with a low smile:


    ��Guess what the two men in the next room are talking about?


    I guess their topic must be you. "


    ??Mona ignored Caroline, and Caroline didn''t care either. She continued to talk to herself:


    ��Luo An likes you very much, there is no need to analyze this.


    But your father also loves you very much, and has always hoped that you would stay away from chaos and danger and live a peaceful life as an ordinary person. When he learned that you joined the FBI, he was very angry..."


    Caroline said a lot and finally concluded:


    ��Father will probably ask Luo An to convince you to leave the FBI, and Luo An loves you very much and will probably agree..."


    ��Have you said enough?��


    ??Mona closed the computer with a "snap" sound, looked back at Caroline, and said coldly:


    ��First, Luo An loves me, but he also respects me, and he will not force me to leave the FBI unless I want to.


    Second, Gyawali is my biological father, but he has had very little involvement in my life over the years, so he has no right to dictate my life choices.


    ??If you are idle and bored, just think about how to spend the money after returning to Germany, whether it is investment or not, make a plan yourself and don''t disturb me, OK? "


    After finishing her words, before Caroline could answer, Mona opened the door with her laptop in her arms, got up and left the room.


    ����


    ?Looking at the closed door, Caroline was silent for a long time, not knowing what to think. Finally, she opened the quilt on the bed and got in.


    ��������


    In the next room, two bottles of vodka were missing from the table, and Jawali''s face and eyes had turned red.


    ??Luo An was also in a daze, so he drank two bottles of stamina potion while Jawali was pouring wine, which made him feel better.


    ? ? "Mona is a very contradictory girl." ? ? ? Picked up the wine glass again and clinked it with Luo An, Jawali said:


    ��She is lazy in life, but diligent in her studies; she is very smart on the computer, but sometimes she does stupid things that leave people speechless.


    But these are not the biggest problems. Do you know what Mona��s biggest problem is? "


    Without giving Luo An a chance to answer, Jawali continued:


    ��She looks very strong, as if she can handle everything on her own.


    But Mona is very cowardly in the mainland, so cowardly that when she meets Luo An, someone who can protect her, she will unconsciously stick to you. Do you understand what I mean? "


    "I see."


    ??Luo An nodded and said that it was Jawali, an old father, who was still afraid of him hurting Mona.


    ?Luo An has never been a father and cannot put himself in his shoes, but he can guess what Jawali is thinking.


    ��No, you don��t understand at all����


    After another glass of wine, Jawali continued to ramble on whatever he thought of. Luo An sat across from him and listened quietly. He was not impatient. If he had a cabbage in the future, but the cabbage brought back a pig, Luo An would An felt that she might also have no choice but to drink.


    Wait a minute, doesn��t this mean I��m likening myself to a pig?


    Luo An''s expression changed and he pushed the wine glass aside. The wine was indeed not a good thing and it confused his thinking.


    Soon, Jawali was lying on the ground snoring loudly. Luo An got up and lifted him to the bed. Then he left the room and went outside to get some fresh air and clear his head in the sea breeze.


    On the deck of the cruise ship, Mona found Luo An smelling of alcohol. She ordered two glasses of lemon honey water and walked over to Luo An and handed him a glass.


    "Thanks."


    Luo An took the lemon honey water and thanked her, then he smiled and took a sip.


    ??Mona patted Luo An on the back, was silent for a few seconds, and asked in a low voice:


    ��What did you and Jawali talk about?��


    ??Before Jawali was rescued, Mona would still call each other father when facing Roan and Caroline. But after Jawali was rescued, she kept calling him by his name. Jawali himself didn''t care. Roan and Caroline didn''t say anything when they saw this.


    ��Talked about the old father��s worries about his daughter and the old father��s distrust of his daughter��s boyfriend.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, put the lemon honey water aside, then put his arms around Mona, guiding Mona to open her arms to welcome the sea breeze like the Titanic.


    ??Mona turned back, biting Luo An''s ear first, and then moved to Luo An''s lips. The two kissed quietly in the sea breeze.


    Half a day later, the cruise ship arrived in the south of France. Mrs. Hanover had been waiting at the port for a long time. Jawali, who was smelling of alcohol, touched her cheek after getting off the ship, and then motioned for Roan, Mona and Caroline to leave first. He had something to do with Mrs. Hanover. business.


    ??With a blank look at Jawali, Mona and Caroline got into the car. Luo An drove the two of them out of the port and went straight to the five-star hotel they had booked before.


    In the next few days, Caroline returned to Germany and began to organize her piano store. Roan and Mona began to travel around Europe to experience the unique customs, customs and food of each country.


    As for the mole, after returning to Europe, Gyawali began to contact others to handle it himself. The contacts and relationships accumulated over the years allowed Gyawali to successfully find the other party and clean up the person.


    ?One morning half a month later, Roan and Mona were lying in a hotel in Norway, discussing whether to go skiing or to go to a hot spring today.


    ??Just when the two decided to use rock and scissors to decide the outcome, their mobile phones suddenly rang. They pressed the answer button and Jawali''s voice came from the other end of the phone.


    "good morning."


    Jawali on the other end of the phone laughed and said:


    ��Can your trip be suspended for a few days? I have something I want to discuss with Mona.��

 Chapter 440： The truth behind the incident, the 500,000 fruit plate

    Chapter 440 The truth behind the incident, 500,000 fruit plate


    Europe, the capital of Austria, Vienna.


    As the time spent in contact with Jawali grew longer and longer, Luo An found that the other party became more and more talkative.


    Especially when Jawali had a drinking contest with Luo An, he didn''t win; when he looked for an opportunity to compete with his marksmanship, he didn''t win; he tried his fists but didn''t win; and he learned about Luo An''s outrageous gambling from Mrs. Hanover and Caroline. After the technology, Jawali''s attitude became better and better.


    ??Now the relationship between Javari and Luo An seems more like a year-end friendship.


    When they went out to drink together, Jawali insisted that he had deliberately given up to Luo An in the previous competitions. When he was young, ten Luo An combined could not beat Jawali alone.


    ?Luo An kept his expression unchanged and smiled, then waved his hand to the waiter, indicating that the waiter should replace all the red wine on the table with vodka.


    ����


    Jawali''s eyes widened when he saw this, and he glanced at Luo An.


    ??He also saw during this time that Luo An was not only a quick-witted and agile little fox, but also a thick-skinned, narrow-minded, and somewhat sinister person.


    ?Selectively ignoring Luo An and handing him a glass filled with vodka, Jawali picked up a piece of fruit on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked while eating:


    "How have you and Mona been these past few days? Have you noticed anything wrong?"


    "No."


    ??Luo An shook his head. He and Mona were traveling to various European countries these days, experiencing local customs and enjoying delicious food everywhere.


    ?Spain��s baked seafood rice, Belgium��s cream-stewed vegetables and seafood, and the restaurant built next to a volcano, which relies on the volcano barbecue made by the flaming lava, all left a deep impression on Roan and Mona.


    ?However, Jawali would definitely not ask such a question for no reason, so Luo An put down his glass and asked:


    "What happened?"


    ��Remember that mole?��


    Jawali swallowed the fruit in his mouth and calmly explained to Luo An the ins and outs of the whole incident.


    ??Gyawali is 54 years old and has been working for the CIA through life and death for more than 30 years.


    In the past few years, because of Jacqui Jon (Chapter 115) and some other things, he was irritable, and as he got older and wanted to spend the rest of his life with Mrs. Hanover, Giavari submitted a retirement application to the CIA headquarters.


    The CIA headquarters did not reject Gyawali��s request, but only gave him one last task, which was the Burnekov matter, and promised Gyawali that after handling this task, he could retire and enjoy the rest of his life.


    But a guy named Ross targeted Gyawali because of this incident.


    ??Ross is Gyawali��s colleague who is responsible for providing logistical assistance when performing certain tasks in Europe. His rank within the CIA is slightly higher than Gyawali��s.


    Jawali has worked in the CIA for so many years. Naturally, in accordance with the tradition of the CIA, he used various methods to get himself a large sum of pension money.


    ??Ross didn��t know the exact amount of the money, but he knew Jawali and knew that it could never be a small amount.


    ?So Ross did some tricks in the mission file, causing Javari''s mission to fail. With the help of Bonykov, he obtained the account number and password hidden in Javari''s heart.


    Before carrying out this mission, Gyawali made some preparations. But it''s a pity that those back-up preparations were eliminated by Rose, who was familiar with him.


    ?Just in case, Ross also made a fake file on the computer in the safe house, hoping to use a trap to catch Gyawali''s back-up preparations that he had not discovered.


    As for Caroline, Ross knew about her existence. The reason why he didn''t do anything to her and even mailed the severed hand to her was because he wanted to use Caroline''s hand to see if Jawali had any back-up preparations, and then erase them together. .


    ??But Ross never expected that Caroline would find such an outrageous guy as Roan.


    Out of caution and prudence, and because he was worried about exposing himself and Mona, Luo An gave the three of them three false identities since the beginning of the federation, and pretended to be other people.


    Luo An also specially made fake finger cots for all three people��s ten fingers to prevent fingerprints from being exposed. He also drove into the deep mountains and forests, smuggled them into Canada, and finally transferred to Europe. With Luo An''s operations, Ross, who was basically based in Europe, completely lost track of Caroline.


    It happened that at this time, the CIA sent Perna and other people to investigate the reason for the failure of Jawali''s mission, so Ross could only play coy with them and temporarily look away from Caroline.


    ??Then... Luo An took Caroline and Mona all the way, checking for clues, entering casinos, jumping off buildings to rob people, and found clues to Jawali.


    ??Ross was completely confused at the time. After reacting, he cursed loudly and quickly contacted the Desert Lion mercenaries to track and kill Luo An and the others, and kill Jawali.


    ??As a result, Roan was like the legendary Ares, killing the group of mercenaries and successfully rescued Jawali from the bunker...


    If it weren''t for Luo An, Ross''s plan to kill Jawali, get the money Jawali had accumulated over the years, and deceive the CIA headquarters would most likely succeed. Caroline would also be secretly disposed of by Ross after a while. Leave no trace behind.


    But unfortunately, Luo An gave Ross a big surprise that he didn''t seem to like very much.


    ����


    ?After listening to this narrative, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged. He picked up the pineapple on the table and stuffed it into his mouth. He stared at Jawali and asked:


    ��You just asked Mona and I if we had noticed anything strange in the past few days. What did you mean?


    ??When you called me and Mona back, you didn''t want to tell me that Rose was not dead and had escaped from you. "


    ��That��s not true.��


    Jawali shook his head. He had worked in the CIA for so many years and he was not a free man. Ross knew him, and he also knew Ross very well. So Jawali didn''t spend much effort to find Ross and send him to him. Go to **** to repent.


    ??Ross has few friends, never married, no relatives, friends, sons, etc. If he dies, he will die. No one will seek revenge from Jawali specifically for him.


    ??Luo An breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that this story was going to be like the ancient novels in the previous life, where the villain was beaten and the old was eliminated, and it went back and forth for dozens of chapters.


    "so��"


    ?Luo An swallowed the fruit in his mouth and asked:


    ��Why did you call Mona and me back?��


    ��I asked people to come back, not including you, only Mona.��


    Jawali glanced at Luo An. If Mona and Luo An hadn''t been stuck together all day long, he would have had no choice but to ask them to come back together.


    ??Luo An paused when he heard this and didn''t say much. He just took the fruit plate in front of Jawali and placed it in front of him.


    ����


    Jawali was speechless and put his fork aside, saying that Ross had obtained an account password from him before and took away his money.


    ??This time Gyawali escaped from the bunker and found Rose. In a cycle of cause and effect, he also obtained Rose''s pension money from Rose.


    Jawali asked Mona to return to Europe because he planned to give the money to Mona and Caroline.


    Hearing this, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his penniless hand in front of Jawali, and asked:


    "What about mine?"


    ��What��s yours?��


    Jawali was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Luo An was talking about.


    ??Slapping Luo An''s hand away, Jawali pointed to the fruit plate in front of Luo An and said:


    ��This is your share, this fruit plate, five hundred thousand.��


    ����Do you think this is German bread before World War II?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 441： The stimulated Jawali, harvest, sudden passion

    Chapter 441 The stimulated Jawali, harvest, emergencies


    ??Deep in a certain street in Vienna, in a certain tavern, the young and handsome Luo An was facing the mature uncle-like Jawali, staring closely at each other.


    Hearing that Luo An wanted his share, Jawali''s eyes widened and he breathed heavily.


    From the beginning of cautious buying and selling, to gradually mastering the CIA''s traditional skills of reselling arms and supplies, Gyawali lived and died in the CIA for more than thirty years and accumulated nearly 50 million US dollars.


    Fifty million US dollars in 2005 is definitely a big sum, and Gyawali has therefore made plans:


    After retirement, give Mona twenty million dollars and Caroline ten million dollars. The remaining twenty million dollars will be enough for him and Mrs. Hanover to live leisurely.


    Although Mrs. Hanover is richer than him and it is not his turn to pay for a leisurely life, men always have to save face, and Jawali is no exception.


    Jawali thought that after he gave Mona 20 million US dollars to make her bold, Mona would definitely show her independent side better in front of Luo An. Once she was bullied by Luo An, Mona would also have the courage to immediately Fight back and leave Roan.


    But Javari never expected that he heard from Caroline that Luo An won more than 150 million euros in a gambling game, and he generously gave her more than 30 million euros, and Mona also received a thousand euros. Thousands.


    ??As well as the gains they got from Bernekov, Roan got nearly 200 million in total, Mona got more than 40 million in total, and Caroline got more than 60 million in total.


    The euro is still a currency with a higher exchange rate than the U.S. dollar.


    ����


    Hearing the news, Jawali froze in place for a long time.


    This old man in his fifties, who had been on the battlefield for more than thirty years, was used to seeing dead bodies, being used to being injured, and having close comrades die in front of his eyes. He no longer had much emotional fluctuations. Suddenly he felt his heart twitching. , a feeling and impulse that cannot be described in words came to my mind.


    ??If it weren''t for Caroline''s support, Jawali almost fainted.


    ??Ross has accumulated no more than five million US dollars in these years, otherwise he would not have targeted Gyawali and attacked him.


    So when Javari was dividing the money, he simply selectively ignored Luo An, who was richer than him.


    ��Three million dollars?��


    Hearing this number, Luo An frowned slightly. Before Gyawali could speak, he stretched out his right hand towards Gyawali again:


    ��I don��t care, you must give me a share of this money!��


    ??Roan, like Mona, has experienced the life of a poor man and still values ??every penny and will never waste it.


    ??In the matter of rescuing Gyawali, Luo An said that he had made great efforts, so he must have his share.


    "impossible!"


    Jawali��s left hand... his left hand was cut off and he couldn��t hit the table.


    Jawali banged the table with his right hand, and said with an unhappy face that his daughter had become Luo An''s girlfriend, so Luo An would definitely not have a share of the money.


    ?Of course, Jawali said that Luo An saved his life after all, and he couldn''t say nothing, so he treated his guests to drinks tonight, and Luo An could drink whatever he wanted, and he could eat whatever he wanted from the fruit plate.


    ����old fox!��


    "Hahaha-"


    ?Seeing Luo An''s flabby look, Jawali raised his head and laughed, waving his hand to the waiter to serve the fruit.


    The expression on Luo An''s face was a little speechless. In fact, there was no anger or dissatisfaction in his heart. Money is not important, but attitude is what matters.


    ?Of course, Luo Anxin is not big-sighted and does not like to take revenge overnight.


    So he changed the topic of the next chat to other things, using words to relax Jawali''s vigilance while helping Jawali pour wine.


    ?Three hours later, Luo An threw the snoring Jawali into the back seat of the car, drove the car to the door of Mrs. Hanover''s villa, and handed Jawali to Mrs. Hanover''s housekeeper.


    ?Seeing Mrs. Hanover looking at Jawali with a cold face, Luo An showed a worried smile on his lips.


    ����


    "came back."


    ?? Returning to the hotel room where she lived, Mona, who had just finished taking a shower, sat in front of the mirror, applied makeup, and said something casually.


    Smelling the strong smell of alcohol on Luo An��s body, Mona frowned slightly:


    ��Did you go drinking with him again?��


    ?Luo An is not an alcoholic, and he does not drink much, but every time he meets Jawali, he comes back smelling of alcohol. Mona feels that Jawali has led Luo An astray.


    Jawali, who is far away on the other side of Vienna: "��" "Yeah, I drank a little."


    Luo An thought about the five bottles of vodka on the table, smiled, took off his coat and hung it next to him, then walked behind Mona, stretched out his hand and slowly touched Mona''s shoulders and neck, while looking up at Mo in the mirror. Na, smiled and said:


    ��Have a brief discussion with your father about the mole.��


    ��Speaking of that mole, I have something to tell you.��


    ??Mona grabbed Luo An''s hand and turned around to tell Luo An about the three million dollars.


    She did not have the same unpleasant thoughts as Jawali. Luo An played a great role in the whole incident, so Mona planned to transfer two-thirds of the portion Jawali gave her to Luo An.


    ��Not important.��


    Luo An, who was slightly drunk, stretched out his hand to press Mona''s lips to stop her from continuing to speak. Then he smiled, picked up Mona by the waist, and walked directly to the shower room.


    ?Mona screamed and struggled to break free:


    ��Hey! Luo An! I just finished washing!��


    ��Then wash it again!��


    ��The makeup I just put on is not finished yet!��


    ��I��ll wipe it again tomorrow morning��tomorrow afternoon!��


    ��??!��


    ����


    The next morning, Caroline came to the hotel to look for Luo An.


    She and Mona had the same idea. They both felt that there was something wrong with Jawali''s approach, and wanted to give part of the money Jawali gave her to Luo An.


    Roan smiled and waved her hand to reject Caroline. After stressing several times, Caroline frowned and took back the money, but said that she would treat Roan and Mona to a very famous restaurant in Vienna for a meal today at noon.


    ��Hmm�� let��s change the time to noon tomorrow.��


    Luo An was about to nod in agreement, but something suddenly occurred to him, so he suggested changing the time.


    ?Caroline nodded without thinking too much. After leaving the hotel for a long time, she suddenly realized something. Her face turned red, she cursed a few words in a low voice and then drove away slowly.


    ??After Caroline left, while Mona was still asleep, Luo An went into the shower room to wash up and tidy up his personal hygiene, and then asked the hotel waiter to come here to deliver the meal.


    While waiting, Luo An opened the system page in his mind.


    This time around Europe, during the incident of rescuing Mona''s father Jawali, the system rated Luo An as "Excellent" and "Excellent" which are rarely seen once, and the treasure chest has accumulated to ten. indivual.


    During this period of time, Luo An has used four bottles of [Stamina Potion], three bottles of [Swiftness Potion], three bottles of [Hemostatic Potion], two bottles of [Analgesic Potion], two bottles of [Featherfall Potion], and two bottles of [Sleep Potion] , two bottles of [Weakness Potion] and one [Sensitive Potion]. ��


    I don''t know, when it was frightened, Luo An found that the incident was definitely the most consumed at the most.


    ?Looking at the ten treasure boxes on the system page, rubbing his fingers, Luo Ping''an prayed to all the gods in the East and West whose names he knew.


    Taking a deep breath, Luo An was about to open the treasure box when the cell phone next to him suddenly rang.


    ? Luo An was a little speechless, but when he realized that it was Lacey who called him, he frowned slightly and pressed the answer button.


    ��It��s me, Lacey.��


    Lacey on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious. She asked directly without any nonsense:


    ��Roan, do you still remember the 18-year-old female killer, Lexa O��Dell?��


    "who?"


    Luo An was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered who the other party was, and suddenly said:


    ��The rich man��s daughter who ran away from home, right? (Chapter 333) What happened to her?��


    ��The Odell family she belonged to, together with the maids, nannies, chefs, etc., all of them except Lexa Odell died overnight!��


    ��What?!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 442： [The horrific case of everyone dying in their sleep at the family villa

    Chapter 442 [Terrorist case of death of everyone in the family villa while sleeping]


    Vienna, in a suite of a well-known hotel.


    Luo An was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding his mobile phone with a serious face, and asked in a deep voice:


    ��Lacie, what exactly is going on?��


    ��A terrible, big case.��


    Far away, in a room in the Federation, Lacey swallowed and explained what happened.


    ? 1 hour ago, Lacey was playing games with two new young girls she met, and then suddenly received a call from Lacosa O''Dell.


    ??Lakesha O''Dell, the suspect she met in the previous [Hollywood shooting case] had a killer boyfriend who was much older than her (Chapter 326 to Chapter 336).


    At that time, because Lakesha O''Dell was not the murderer in the case, and there was no human life at hand, and she had only done some thief and petty crimes, her father, 86-year-old Puranna O''Dell, paid for bail. Taken away from the Special Investigations Unit.


    ?At that time, Luo An also complained that Pranay O''Dell was in her 80s and actually had an 18-year-old daughter. Rich people really know how to take care of her.


    Leisi received a call from Leka Odell, with doubts, and did not understand what the other party was looking for, but after pressing the answer button, Ryse''s eyes widened for a moment.


    ?Ever since she was escorted back to Las Vegas, Lexa has been messing around in various ways and has never stopped.


    ?His father Puranna O''Dell is over eighty years old this year and really doesn''t have that much energy to spend with Lexa.


    After trying to reason for a few times but unable to make sense, Pranay lost her patience and directly had Lakesha locked in the basement of the manor. In addition to meeting Lakesha''s basic daily needs, Internet TV, new clothes, etc. were completely cut off.


    ?Lykesa initially cursed and refused to eat, and was hospitalized for a time due to hunger and lack of water.


    But afterwards, Lakesha did not change her old ways and continued to go her own way and make noises. Puranna respected Lakesha''s choice and locked her into the basement again.


    50 hours ago, Pranay O''Dell held a cocktail party in the manor, and there were many people and guests.


    The reception went smoothly, with music and food throughout. The guests talked about things and built relationships all night long, and in the end everyone was satisfied and drove away.


    But there were also a small number of guests who, for various reasons, temporarily stayed for one night at Purannai''s manor with their female or male companions.


    ��The next day, everyone in the manor died.��


    Speaking of this, Lacey shuddered with a very ugly face and said:


    ��The next morning, some people called people in the manor and found no one answered.


    ?At first they thought there might be a problem with the phone line in the manor, so they contacted the patrol in that area to check and repair it.


    Due to the existence of the castle law, several patrol policemen did not break into the manor directly. Instead, they rang the bell at the door of the manor, but no matter what, no one answered.


    More than two hours later, several patrol policemen drove into the manor at the urging of the superiors and the guests�� families.


    Entering the duplex villa in the manor, the patrol found that everyone in every room had left this world in their sleep, whether they were guests, members of the Odell family, maids, chefs, and drivers.


    Only Lexa O''Dell, who was locked in the basement, was okay, but she had been locked up during this period and had no idea what was going on. "


    ����


    After listening to Lacey��s narration, Roan began to carefully recall the situation of the O��Dell family.


    ?The population of the O''Dell family is not very large. The wife of 86-year-old Puranai O''Dell died when he was young and left him a son.


    Unfortunately, this son died in a car accident when he was young, leaving Puranai O''Dell with a daughter-in-law.


    When Puranai O''Dell was old, he married another woman. This new wife gave birth to a son to Puranai O''Dell after the marriage, and many years later she gave birth to a daughter. This daughter is Lexa O''Dell.


    ?Compared to the unreliable Lacosa O''Dell, that son is very reliable. He is not only smart but also has means. He manages Puranai''s company in an orderly manner.


    Purannai O''Dell was very satisfied with having such a reliable heir, thinking that he would basically have nothing to worry about in the future.


    But accidents always happen in life, and this son��s life was short-lived. A few years later, while taking a private plane, the private plane crashed. The son, the pilot, secretary and others died on the spot.


    Because of this incident, Pranay O''Dell instantly aged a lot.


    ?Because of his health problems, his son got married but left no offspring. The 86-year-old Pranay O''Dell had no choice but to focus on his last child: Lexa O''Dell.


    ?Purannai-O''Dell felt that his time was running out, so he wanted to use hard measures to win back Lacosa''s temper. However, he never expected that before he succeeded, he, his daughter-in-law, and others would leave this world.


    "so��"


    ?Luo An rubbed his temples, held up his mobile phone, and asked:


    ��What does Lacosa mean by calling you? What does she want to do?��


    ��She came to our special investigation team for help.��


    ??? Lacey said that as the only survivor in the duplex villa, and also the only remaining descendant of the O''Dell family, Lacosa O''Dell was suspected of being the mastermind behind the case from every angle.


    The enemies of the O''Dell family companies and enterprises outside, as well as those with ulterior motives, have also begun to make various moves.


    Coupled with the fact that the relatives and friends of the dead guests are demanding explanations from Lexa, and some of them intend to take advantage of the situation to tear up and devour the O''Dell family, Lexa-O''Dell is now surrounded by enemies on all sides.


    ??If Lexa O''Dell was really a useless waste, then things wouldn''t be that troublesome, and the O''Dell family would soon be torn apart and surrounded.


    But Lexa O''Dell is not a waste. On the contrary, she is very smart and capable. She is ruthless to herself and even more ruthless to others.


    ??The previous fussing was more to express dissatisfaction with Puranai O''Dell''s manipulation of his life.


    ?Lakesha O''Dell knew that only with the existence of the O''Dell family could she have the capital to do whatever she wanted.


    So after figuring out the current situation she was in, Lacosa did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward. In the eyes of everyone''s astonishment, she stood up to stabilize the precarious situation of the O''Dell family.


    ??Using various methods such as recruiting one group to suppress others, killing chickens to scare monkeys, etc., Lacosa used sharp methods to temporarily suppress those who were ready to make moves in the O''Dell family company at an extremely fast speed.


    But the top priority is to quickly find out the truth of this case. While avenging his father, he should also give an explanation to the family and friends of the guests, maids, chefs, drivers, etc.


    ??Lakessa couldn''t trust the local law enforcement agencies in Las Vegas at all. She couldn''t be sure which of those intricately connected people would not do evil things.


    At this time, Lacosa thought of Luo An, who had captured her, and Luo An''s special investigation team.


    ??The people in the special investigation team are all foreigners, and the team leader Roan Greenwood is very capable and handsome, and the team members are also talented people, so they can definitely find out the truth about this matter.


    Luo An frowned when he heard this. So many people died in this case, it was not simple at first sight, and the vacation was not over yet, so he shook his head and said:


    ��This case is still����


    Before he finished speaking, Lacey on the other end of the phone added:


    ��Lakesha O��Dell is willing to fund the Special Investigation Team with $10 million in special case-handling funds!


    ??Lakesha is willing to pay an additional US$2 million in overtime pay for each member of the special investigation team, and the team leader��s overtime pay is US$3 million! "


    ��...Tell Lacosa that she knows how to solve crimes, and the special investigation team will find out the truth of this case.��

 Chapter 443： Investigate clues, the wealthy Lakesa

    Chapter 443: Investigating clues, the wealthy Lacosa


    On the second Monday of January 2006, Roan and Mona arrived in Las Vegas by plane.


    Lacie, Michelle, Winslow, and Chenelle had also arrived at the pre-booked hotel a few hours before.


    When Luo An took this case, he was not thinking about himself, but more about other people in the special investigation team.


    None of the four Laceys are rich people. The overtime pay of 2 million US dollars is definitely a sky-high price for them. They should not take the blame. Luo An, as a team leader, cannot stifle the team members'' ability to make money. Chance.


    ?Of course, Luo An is not a wasteful person, so he easily accepted the team leader��s $3 million in overtime pay.


    ?This case is a cross-regional law enforcement after all. Although the FBI has the ability to enforce laws across regions, when it goes to work on other people''s territory, it must say hello to other people.


    Roan did not hide this from the team leader, Potente Byrne, and said hello to him.


    After learning that Lacosa O''Dell was willing to donate US$5 million in equipment replacement funds to the FBI''s Los Angeles branch, the team leader Potente Byrne waved his hand and contacted Russ without waiting for Roan''s request. Law enforcement in Vegas.


    ??Moreover, Potente-Byrne also granted the special investigation team the power to act expediently, and repeatedly told Luo An to call him in time when encountering problems. Luo An agreed with a smile.


    ��Good morning, everyone!��


    Walking into the hotel��s pre-booked room, Lacey, Michelle, Chenelle and Winslow had all been waiting for a long time. They hugged each other. Roan smiled and said:


    ��How have you been during this vacation?��


    ��Great!��


    Michelle was smiling, Lacey gave Roan a "you know" look, Chenelle smiled and said nothing, Winslow took Roan''s luggage and put it aside, and replied with a smile:


    ��The vacation was great, but it was too long and I had nothing to do. I��m afraid my skills will be more rusty than before!��


    ��This time I��ll give you a chance to perform again.��


    ?Luo An laughed and exchanged a few simple greetings. He stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand:


    ��Everyone! Go back to your room and change clothes!��


    ??Now all of them are dressed in drag and immediately start investigating the case. Naturally, they have to change into the standard suits of FBI agents.


    "clear!"


    All the agents nodded in unison, men on the left and women on the right, all turned around and walked into the bedroom in the suite.


    A few minutes later, everyone had finished changing their clothes, and all six of them were wearing suits with pistols on their waists.


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, put the FBI''s golden badge and ID card into his pocket, and said loudly:


    ��Everyone, I have told you the general information of the case before, so I won��t go into details here. I will now arrange the distribution of the next work content.


    ??The FBI''s Trace Inspection Section in Las Vegas has already gone to the crime scene, which is the duplex villa, to investigate.


    But when they learn that the case is handed over to us, it may not go so smoothly.


    So, Winslow, Chenille, and you two went to the Trace Inspection Department to get the report first, and then went to the villa at the crime scene to carefully check the clues there to see if there was anything that had been missed.


    In addition, remember to get a copy of the identity information, home addresses, etc. of all the victims in the villa. "


    "no problem."


    ? Chenelle and Winslow gave Roan an OK sign and immediately turned around and left the suite.


    The two left, and Luo An turned his attention to the remaining people.


    ��Lessie, Mona, you two go get the autopsy report.


    We must find out the real cause of death of those in the villa. Only in this way can we speculate how the murderer acted.


    In addition, the surveillance of the villa, the surveillance of roads and other places near the villa, as well as the travel records of the guests that night, departure and return time and other information must also be clarified. I leave this to you two. "


    "a piece of cake!"


    Lacey smiled, pulled Mona and left the suite. Lacey''s low voice of inquiry echoed in the corridor: "Mona, your face looks beautiful again. What kind of cosmetics do you use? Can you recommend it?"


    Mona: ������


    Roan was too lazy to talk to Lacey. He turned to look at Michelle who was left in the room and said:


    ��Michelle, you come with me. Let��s chat with Lexa O��Dell, a young rich woman who is both lucky and unlucky, and see if there are any clues.��


    ��Okay, team leader.��


    ?Michelle nodded and prepared to follow Luo An to leave the suite.


    "Not urgent."


    ??Luo An reached out to hold the other party, then took out some small strings, feathers and other objects, and made a circle around the suite door, windows, bedroom door, and even the bathroom.


    Facing the confusion on Michelle''s face, Luo An''s eyes flashed, but he didn''t explain much, just smiled:


    ��It��s okay to be careful, let��s set off.��


    "OK."


    ?Michelle nodded and followed Luo An in the car to leave the area.


    ����


    ?The O''Dell family is an established wealthy family that has been operating in the city of Las Vegas for several generations.


    Since the Great Depression in 1931, in order to survive the economic difficulties, the Nevada State Assembly passed a bill legalizing gambling. When Las Vegas began to rise, the first generation of the O''Dell family came here and began to work in this city. Climb upward.


    With the efforts of several generations, the O''Dell family not only owns shares in several well-known casino hotels in Las Vegas, but also has a share in the food industry, clothing industry, and even universities.


    ?In terms of transportation, the O''Dell family almost monopolizes a quarter of the buses, buses, taxis, trams, etc. in Las Vegas.


    When she learned that the special investigation team had arrived in Las Vegas, Lacosa O''Dell immediately sent someone to deliver six brand-new Dodge cars. She said that if they were damaged, they would not have to pay for it. It was fine. She also prepared a few cars for the special investigation team. A spare.


    ������x6


    When Lacey, Michelle, Chenelle and Winslow heard this, their faces were filled with confusion as they were stunned by the money. Mona, who had seen the world, was speechless.


    Luo An frowned slightly. Lexa O''Dell was obviously a little confused now. On the surface, she was trying to support her without any fear, but inside she was extremely frightened and flustered. Otherwise, she would not keep throwing money away.


    ?Roan drove and Michelle quickly arrived in Las Vegas, where they met Lexa O''Dell in an office on the roof of a building.


    In the office, Lexa O''Dell is wearing a red women''s suit, with heavy makeup on her pretty face, her eyes are flying, and her red lips are like blood. She gives people a very sharp look, and she doesn''t look like she is 19 years old at all.


    When Roan and Michelle arrived, Lacosa was sitting behind a large desk, facing five trembling secretaries, with a cold face, signing various documents, and sternly ordering them to execute what she just said. out work arrangements.


    ��Good morning, Team Leader Luo An.��


    ?Seeing Luo An and the two walking into the office, Lacosa waved her hand and told the five people to leave the office quickly to execute the order, and then said without raising her head:


    ��Both of you, please sit down. I��ll finish this report right away. There��s coffee on the table. I��ll pour it myself.��


    ��Good morning, Miss Lacosa.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, not caring that the other party''s words were a bit harsh, and poured two cups of coffee for himself and Michelle. Luo An took a sip and said with a smile:


    ��It seems you have guessed our purpose.��


    ��It��s not hard to guess because many people think the same way.��


    Lacosa signed her name on the last page of the document, threw the pen away, raised her head and sneered:


    ��Everyone thinks that I was responsible for this case and that I killed so many people, right?��


    ??Luo An grinned, did not answer her words, put down the coffee cup, stared at Lexa, and asked:


    ��Excuse me, Miss Lacosa, what happened on the night of the crime?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 444： Diary, 26 victims, causes of death

    Chapter 444 Diary, 26 victims, causes of death


    ?Las Vegas, an office on the roof of a building.


    ?Luo An put down the coffee cup, leaned forward slightly, stared at Lacosa, and asked his question.


    Lacosa''s expression remained unchanged. She raised her head, stared into Luo An''s eyes without any sign of weakness, and said word by word:


    "I have no idea."


    Lexa said that the basement where she was locked was located in the innermost room of the basement of the duplex villa.


    When she was first imprisoned, Lacosa used the skills she had learned from being deceived and deceived in the society over the past few years to break the locks and escape several times.


    ?After being recaptured by security personnel, the locks were successfully updated and there were several more doors in the basement.


    ??Every day the person who delivers her meals with the key wants to come in, and it takes more than ten minutes to enter from one floor to the next.


    She didn��t know what happened on the night of the crime. She only knew that no one brought her food the next morning.


    ??If the two patrolmen hadn''t learned about Lakesha''s situation and struggled for a long time to find the key and come to the basement to find her, Lakesha felt that she might have been locked to death in the basement.


    ?After listening to Lakesha''s narration, Luo An was noncommittal and then asked:


    ��Did you find anything wrong with the meal that night?��


    ��No.��


    Lexa shook her head, left her seat and got herself a cup of coffee, took a sip and said:


    ��My father felt that food that was too delicious would make me feel in the mood to continue to resist, so he replaced my three meals a day with the most ordinary jam, bread slices and milk, with occasional bacon or vegetable salad.


    ?These are delivered to the basement at once every morning, and I need to carefully count every bite, otherwise I will have nothing to eat at night. "


    ����


    Michelle, who had been holding a pen to record the words next to her, her eyelids jumped when she heard these words, and the corners of Roan''s mouth also trembled. The father and daughter, Lexa O''Dell and Pranay O''Dell, are really not ordinary people. .


    ��OK.��


    Putting aside the messy things in his mind, Luo An picked up the folder on his desk and looked at it casually, then asked:


    ��So, has the O��Dell family provoked anyone recently?


    In other words, who has a deep hatred against the O''Dell family? "


    ??If Lexa had also died that night, the Odell family would have been completely wiped out. This is not an ordinary hatred, and it is not something that ordinary people can do.


    Lexa snorted coldly, walked behind the desk, opened the cabinet underneath, took out a metal box and handed it to Luo An, saying:


    ��Here are some of the things my father recorded after I had someone cut open the safes in his bedroom and study.


    In addition, this box also contains a document I compiled, which contains a list of companies or families that have had financial or other frictions with the O''Dell family in the past ten years.


    I think they may be able to provide some help to Team Leader Luo An. "


    ��Hopefully.��


    Roan took the metal box and briefly chatted with Lacosa. After getting no useful clues, he left the building with Michelle.


    ??The brand new Dodge car was driving slowly on the streets of Las Vegas. Michelle sat in the passenger seat and carefully looked at the diary in the metal box. Roan yawned and asked softly:


    ��Have you found anything?��


    ��Except for some emotional stories and dissatisfaction and abuse against competitors, no useful clues were found.��


    ?Michelle shook her head and said that when he was young, Purannay-O''Dell was a lover and was very playful. After the death of his first wife, he gradually calmed down.


    ??Luo An was a little speechless. The tidbits were indeed interesting, but he was not interested now. Just as he was about to continue talking, Michelle suddenly frowned and said:


    ��Wait a minute, there��s something not quite right about this page.��


    "What?"


    ��Look here, these marks.��


    Turning the diary to a page full of words, Michelle held up the page behind her back and signaled it to Luo An. She said solemnly: "The mark left on the back of this page is the same as the mark on the front." The text does not match, and there are traces of daubing, modification and covering.


    According to my experience, Pranay O''Dell should have written something, then erased it, and then wrote the current words on it. "


    Luo An briefly glanced at the diary. He didn��t know much about this aspect, so he asked directly:


    ��Michel, can you figure out what Pranay-O��Dell originally wrote?��


    Michelle nodded:


    ��I try my best, but I need a little time.��


    ��I��ll get back to the hotel later, and I��ll have free time as I wish.��


    Leave professional matters to professional people. Luo An was relieved to let Michelle handle the diary. At this moment, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang.


    ��It��s me, Lacey.��


    Lacey on the other end of the phone said seriously:


    ��Luo An, Mona is checking the surveillance records and has found no clues yet.


    ?However, we have already obtained the autopsy reports of the victims. "


    The autopsy report showed that there were 26 deceased people in the retest villa.


    Including four members of the O''Dell family: Puranai O''Dell, Puranai O''Dell''s wife, and Puranai O''Dell''s two daughters-in-law.


    There are six temporary guests, three men and three women. The three men are well-known wealthy locals in Las Vegas. The two women are the female companions of two of the men.


    ??The last remaining woman was older and a long-time friend of Pranay O''Dell. Due to physical discomfort, she temporarily lived in the duplex villa.


    In addition, there are two drivers, two chefs, nine maids, a nanny, and two security personnel.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he asked:


    ��What was their cause of death?��


    ��Poisoned.��


    Lacey on the other end of the phone looked at the autopsy report in her hand and said in a deep voice:


    ��Autopsy results showed that the two substances diquinol trioxide and estazolam were found in the bodies of all 25 victims.��


    ��Estazolam? Dioxin trioxide?��


    ? Luo An was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the dioxygen trioxide mentioned by Lacey had another name in the far east: arsenic.


    As for estazolam, Lacey explained that it is mainly a sedative, hypnotic, and anxiolytic drug that is clinically used for the short-term treatment of various types of insomnia.


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said:


    ��So, the murderer put these two drugs into the food of everyone in the villa that night, and then made everyone feel sleepy and went to bed, and then lost their lives in their sleep, right?��


    ��Most victims are like this.��


    ??Lacie nodded, and then said that many of them were awakened from their sleep due to severe poisoning and pain. They wanted to call for help, but for some reason they could not contact the outside world, and eventually died of pain while holding the phone.


    ?So when the Trace Inspection Section arrived at the scene, they saw several people lying next to their phones with ferocious expressions, and several people lying on the ground clutching their phones tightly as they died.


    As soon as Lacey finished speaking, Mona next to her stopped what she was doing, pointed at the computer and said:


    ��The Trace Inspection Section��s report shows that the villa��s phone line to the outside world was cut off inside the villa.


    In addition, I discovered that from the third hour after the cocktail party on the night of the incident to 2:30 a.m. the next day, the patrol officers patrolling that area reported that the signal was temporarily lost.


    Therefore, during the time of the incident, someone in that area may have used some means to deliberately block the signal there. "


    ��It seems like this was an organized and planned crime.��


    ??Roan rubbed his temples, parked the car in the hotel parking lot, and called Chenelle:


    ��Have you found anything here?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 445： Winslows Clues, Potion Harvest, Report

    Chapter 445: Winslow��s clues, potion harvest, report and discussion


    ��We found the work schedule of the service staff on the night of the incident.��


    ?Chenelle on the other end of the phone didn''t talk nonsense and directly stated that she and Winslow had found out the working arrangements of the service staff during the reception in the head maid''s room of the villa.


    The work arrangement at the beginning of the reception is not important. What is important is the list of people staying in the villa after the reception.


    ��The work schedule shows that there is no maid named Iona in the list of people who should stay on the night of the crime.��


    Chenier looked at the book in her hand and said coldly:


    ��But there was a maid named Belinda who asked for leave that night due to family matters. Iona took over the position and stayed in the villa that night.��


    ��Iona?��


    Luo An��s brows moved slightly when he heard this and asked:


    ��Is this woman among the 26 victims?��


    "have."


    Chenelle replied:


    ��The crime scene report of the trace examination department showed that Iona also died that night in the room where she lived with several other maids.��


    ��But there��s something wrong with this woman��s death.��


    As soon as Chenelle finished speaking, before Roan could speak, Winslow''s voice sounded on the other end of the phone:


    ��Team leader, after the Trace Inspection Section arrived at the crime scene, they took some photos of each victim��s death scene.


    There were four maids in the room where Iona lived.


    ??The remaining three-life maids all showed pain on their faces, with ferocious expressions and obvious signs of struggle.


    ?? But Iona didn��t. Although she also showed pain on her face, she clenched her teeth and lay straight on the bed. It felt more like..."


    ��It��s more like committing suicide by taking poison after successfully committing the crime, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?? Luo An''s expression moved slightly, and he took in Winslow''s next words. While his mind was spinning rapidly, Luo An continued to ask:


    ��Are there any other discoveries?��


    ��The three telephone lines for external communication in the villa, two for regular use and one for backup, have all been cut off.��


    Winslow mentioned a few clues he found, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:


    ��Also, team leader, I suspect that there were more than 26 victims and 1 Lexa O��Dell in this villa on the night of the crime. I��m afraid there were others...and not just one person.��


    ��??!��


    Luo An looked stern when he heard this and said sternly:


    ��After the on-site inspection is completed, come back and explain in detail!��


    "clear!"


    After hanging up the phone, Luo An took Michelle back to the hotel suite. No trace of anyone breaking in was found. Luo An was slightly relieved.


    Waving his hand to signal Michelle to sort out the diary, Luo An sat down on the chair and began to close his eyes and meditate on the clues to the case.


    ? After pondering for a long time, Luo An came up with several follow-up investigation plans for the case, and decided to adapt accordingly based on the actual situation.


    ?Looking up at the time, Luo An found that Mona and Cheniel would not be back soon, so he closed his eyes again and began to check the system pages in his mind.


    The system gave Luo An an [Excellent] rating for his previous performance, and he accumulated ten treasure chests.


    After praying to the gods whose names he knew in the East and West, Luo An opened the ten treasure chests one by one.


    A total of two bottles of [Featherfall Potion], two bottles of [Analgesic Potion], two bottles of [Hemostatic Potion], one [Scuba Potion], one [Swift Potion], and two bottles of [Danger Sense] were found in the ten treasure chests. Pharmacy].


    At this time, in Luo An��s system warehouse page, there is [Stamina Potion x6] that can be dispensed almost every day.


    ��Hemostatic Agent x4��


    ��Antidote x5��


    ��Swift Potion x3��


    ��Strength Potion x3��


    ��Sensitive Drug x1��????��Analgesic Drug x6��


    ��Featherfall Potion x2��


    ��Sleep Potion x1��


    ��Scuba Potion x1��


    ??Seeing the two bottles of [Danger Sense Potion] that he had been thinking about for a long time but never appeared, Luo An suddenly grinned, took them out of the system and poured them into his stomach without saying a word.


    After drinking two bottles of [Danger Sensing Potion], Luo An sat on the sofa and waited for a long time, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, quietly waiting for the new effects brought by these two potions.


    But...nothing seems to have changed.


    Luo An was full of doubts and remained silent for a few seconds. He then tried to open the "emotional perception" in his mind to chat with Michelle. Only then did he realize that "emotional perception" increased the emotional changes of others a lot.


    ??Michelle''s various emotional fluctuations occurred when he answered different questions. After several trials, Luo An found that he could guess the truth or falsehood of what the other party said, just like he did in the poker game, with a success rate of nearly 90%.


    Not only that, Luo An then let Michelle throw the pen at him. He found that he could clearly sense whether Michelle really wanted to harm him, and thus made corresponding judgments and reactions.


    This ability��


    ?Handing the signature pen back to Michelle, Luo An scratched his head and walked back to the living room, looking down and thinking about the use of this new ability in the future.


    ? Michelle held the signature pen in her hand, looking confused and at a loss. She was silent for a few seconds, and continued to deal with the diary with her head lowered. She had a hunch that there might be important clues in this diary.


    ����


    At one o''clock in the afternoon, Mona, Lacey, Chenelle and Winslow all returned to the hotel suite.


    Luo An pulled over five temporarily purchased whiteboards and pasted the photos of the duplex villa, the photos of the 26 victims, and the photo of Lexa O''Dell on three of the whiteboards, and then looked at everyone, said:


    ��Everyone, please tell me about the clues you have found.��


    ��I��ll come first.��


    ??Lacie was the first to raise her hand, but she didn''t say much. She still talked about the causes of death and autopsy reports of the 26 victims.


    After Lacey finished speaking, she returned to her seat. Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he looked at Mona.


    ��I checked the monitoring situation.��


    Because of his emphasis on personal privacy and his distrust of modern technology, Pranay O''Dell did not install surveillance cameras inside the villa, so what exactly happened in the villa on the night of the incident remains a mystery.


    ?However, security personnel have installed many surveillance cameras outside the villa and at the walls of the designated area.


    ��After careful observation, I found that there was a problem with the surveillance on the night of the incident.��


    ?Mona showed the surveillance screen on her laptop to everyone. In the third hour after the reception, that is, after the guests had left, the surveillance screen jittered slightly for less than a second.


    ??Mona pointed to the trees in one of the monitoring screens and said coldly:


    ��From the moment of this shaking, the surveillance cameras were changed, and all the surveillance videos played inside were disguised surveillance videos.��


    ��Wow, it seems that the other party is also a computer expert.��


    ??Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned to look at Chenier. Chenier straightened up, distributed a dozen documents to everyone, and said while dividing them:


    ��This is the identity information of the 26 victims and the basic information of their family and friends.


    ?In addition, in the thicker folder at the back, the first page is the list of people at the cocktail party that night, and the following dozens of pages are the identity information of all the people participating in the cocktail party, as well as the basic information of their family and friends. "


    ??Everyone took the thick folder and looked at Chenelle with surprise, wondering how she got all this in such a short period of time.


    Chenelle did not laugh, but explained quietly:


    ��Quite simply, there��s no shortage of talent in Las Vegas.��


    ��OK, good work.��


    Roan didn��t ask any more questions. He knew that Chenelle would not cross the line, so he turned to look at Winslow who was sitting next to him, and asked in a serious voice:


    ��Winslow, you said before that there were other people at the scene of the crime. What exactly happened?��

    ?Las Vegas, the living room of a hotel suite.


    ��I found that the barbed wire fence had been broken outside the duplex villa at the southwest corner wall.


    On the road outside the barbed wire fence, traces of cars stopping were also found. "


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Winslow stood up with a serious face, handed a few photos to everyone, and explained:


    ��Based on observation, I can confirm that two to three people sneaked into the villa area from this location.


    After the incident, they also dealt with their footprints and barbed wire, but the traces cannot be completely erased. "


    Luo An looked down at the photo handed over by Winslow, and could clearly see the traces of someone walking there.


    "but why?"


    Lacie shook the photo in her hand and asked with confusion on her face:


    "Since the maid named Iona has poisoned the people in the villa and committed suicide herself, why do these people still break into the villa?"


    ? Chenier was silent for a second and expressed her speculation:


    ��Could it be these people who want to rummage through the villa and take away something?��


    Winslow added:


    ��These people may have sneaked into the villa to confirm whether the poison administered by Iona had any effect.


    ??Or the prosecutor could check to see if Iona got scared when something happened and didn''t dare to poison her. "


    Michelle next to her thought for a while and expressed her speculation:


    ��Is there a possibility that it was not the maid Iona who drugged everyone in the villa, but these guys who sneaked into the villa?


    ??The maid Iona is only responsible for delivering poison to those people one by one. "


    ��It��s all possible.��


    ??Luo An nodded and confirmed the guesses of several people. The key problem now is that there is no surveillance in the villa. Everyone left this world due to poison and there are no witnesses. Therefore, the situation on the night of the crime can only be reasonably speculated.


    Luo An was silent for a few seconds, turned to look at Mona, and asked:


    ��Mona, are there no clues in the surveillance video about these guys who sneaked into the villa?��


    ��At present, no.��


    ??Mona shook her head and typed on the keyboard while indicating that the surveillance on the outer wall of the villa had been replaced on the night of the crime. She could not find out who the people who sneaked into the villa were.


    ?In addition, the Odell family''s villa is located in a large area with convenient transportation, but there are not many road surveillance cameras and many roads are blind spots. Mona can''t find the suspect vehicle at all.


    ��It��s not all bad news, though.��


    ?Mona suddenly stopped what she was doing, turned the laptop around, pointed at the screen and said:


    ��I calculated the distances between the outside of the barbed wire fence, the road where parking is possible, inside the duplex villa, and the patrol officer who reported the signal loss on the night of the incident.


    ? It is a coincidence that the duplex villa and the locations of several patrol policemen can form a circle.


    The road outside the wall happens to be the center of the circle. "


    ��What a beautiful coincidence.��


    ?Luo An chuckled and posted the clues and photos that everyone had compiled on the whiteboard one by one, summarizing as he posted:


    ��So, on the night of the crime, and in the third hour after the reception, someone used computer technology to replace the surveillance on the villa wall.


    ?Then, a car stopped at the wall in the southwest corner of the villa, and two or three people got out, cut off the barbed wire, blocked the signals in the area, and made it impossible for people to connect to the outside world, and then sneaked into the villa.


    Inside the villa, we are currently unable to determine who specifically administered the poison that night and by what means, but the maid Iona is the most likely suspect.


    ?Everyone was poisoned and died. The two or three guys who sneaked into the villa most likely did something else. After doing it, they followed the position of the barbed wire fence, left the area, and drove away without a trace. "


    After listening to Luo An��s analysis, the agents of the special investigation team nodded. Lacey thought for a while, stood up and asked:


    ��What should we do next?�� Luo An drew a big circle on the photo of the barbed wire fence:


    ��The most important thing is to find out the identities of the two or three people who sneaked into the villa.��


    Hearing this, Lacey was about to continue talking when Roan suddenly stopped, looked back at Chenille and Mona, and asked in a deep voice:


    ��What is the name of the maid who took temporary shifts with the maid Iona that night? Where is she now?��


    ��The maid��s name is Belinda, she is 40 years old and has a son who is in middle school.


    ? Belinda is mainly responsible for the logistics area, so I suspect that Iona, who switched shifts with her, is the one who poisoned me. "


    Chenelle immediately described Belinda��s identity. As for where Belinda was now, Chenelle turned her head and looked at Mona.


    ??Mona��s fingers flew rapidly on the keyboard, and suddenly she frowned:


    ��Everyone, since the night of the incident, Belinda took leave and went home, and her new travel and consumption records have not been found.


    In addition, his son did not go to school the next day, and both of them are now out of contact. "


    ��Fu-k!��


    When Lacey heard this, her expression suddenly changed and she cursed. Luo An said without any nonsense:


    ��Mona, you stay here and use computer methods to see if you can find out the identity information of those people. Chenille, you assist Mona.


    ?But before that, you two first check the last consumption records, call records, etc. of Belinda and her son before they lost contact, and see if you can find any useful clues.


    Michelle, please hurry up and find out what happened to that diary.


    Winslow, Lacey, come with me and go to Belinda''s house immediately! "


    "clear!"


    ?The agents agreed with a loud voice and immediately got up to carry out their respective tasks.


    ��


    The Dodge was speeding down the road in Las Vegas. Winslow was sitting in the backseat inspecting the equipment. Lacey was sitting in the passenger seat, talking to Mona on her cell phone.


    ��Where Belinda and her son live, there are very few cameras on the road, and there is no surveillance installed in their home.


    I checked the records of disappearances and kidnappings in that area and found nothing special. "


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone said quickly:


    ��I followed Luo An��s request and checked the call records between mother and son.


    It shows that the night when Belinda took temporary leave, it was her son who called her.


    The content of the phone conversation cannot be found, but the whole process from the time her son called to Belinda asking for leave and leaving the villa took less than three minutes.


    ? In several road surveillance cameras with cameras, it can be seen that Belinda has a rather anxious attitude when driving. "


    After Mona hung up the phone, Lacey tilted her head and looked at Luo An, who was driving, and guessed:


    ��So, someone may have kidnapped Belinda��s son that night, threatened Belinda with his son, and took a temporary leave of absence from the villa, thus allowing the long-awaited Iona to take her place.��


    ??Luo An was noncommittal, and the car quickly arrived at the residence of Belinda and her son. They lived in an ordinary residential building on the edge of Las Vegas.


    ?At the door of a certain room on the third floor, Luo An, Winslow, and Lacey stood on the left and right sides, counted down to three, and broke into the room together.


    There were no corpses in the room as expected, no traces of kidnapping or ransom, or even signs of struggle. There were only normal warm decorations and undisposed kitchen waste.


    Lacey picked up a pillow and looked at it. She didn''t find anything wrong. She looked at Winslow and shrugged:


    ��It seems that the situation is different from what I imagined.��


    ??Had Mona not confirmed through road surveillance that Belinda had returned to this community, and they also saw Belinda''s car downstairs, Lacey would have suspected that Belinda disappeared before returning home at all.


    ��Lacie, Winslow, come to me.��


    ??? Before Winslow could answer, Luo An''s voice suddenly came from the bedroom:


    ��I discovered something.��

 Chapter 447： Fifty thousand US dollars, new information the female classmate knew

    Chapter 447: Fifty thousand dollars, new information the female classmate knows


    ?This bedroom is on the left side of the room. It is quite messy inside. There are many Spider-Man posters on the wall and many superhero comics on the desk.


    It is not difficult to guess that this is the room of Belinda''s son, Henry, a middle school student.


    Selectively ignoring the toilet paper next to the computer and the Pretty Girls DVD under the bed, Winslow and Lacey walked into the room and asked in confusion:


    ��Roan, what did you find?��


    ��A bag of money.��


    ?? Luo An dug out a stack of U.S. dollars in the mezzanine of the desk. Lacey reached out and took it and shook it. Luo An frowned slightly and said:


    ��About thirteen thousand dollars, Henry can��t get that much pocket money.��


    Winslow added:


    "Belinda can''t give him so much. Her financial situation is not that good yet."


    ��So, Lacey, go check on the situation of this money and see where Henry got it from, whether he secretly sold illegal drugs or not, and whether it is related to this case.��


    ??Luo An didn''t care much about whether Henry, a middle school student, had done anything that violated federal laws. He just wanted to know where the mother and son were now.


    ??As soon as Lacey took the money and turned around, Luo An and Winslow found no useful clues in the room, so they left the room, checked the surveillance and asked the neighbors.


    ? It is a pity that because of advocating "freedom" and "privacy", the surveillance cameras in this building were smashed, and nothing was found from the surveillance.


    Belinda��s neighbors also had no clue. They had no idea what happened to the mother and her son, and they heard no struggling or shouting.


    With the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An could be sure that the neighbors were telling the truth. Just as he and Winslow, who was speechless, were about to leave, a white old woman living on the corner of the first floor suddenly said one thing.


    ��Belinda and her son, together with a man, left the building that evening.��


    ?Under continued questioning by Luo An and Winslow, the white old woman said that she did not see clearly what the man looked like. She only saw that the man was white, taller than Winslow, but thinner than Luo An.


    ����


    Roan and Winslow left the building and drove not far when Lacey suddenly called them:


    ��You two, I found out the source of that money.��


    Roan raised his eyebrows, and Winslow was very surprised:


    "So fast?"


    "certainly."


    Lacie on the other end of the phone chuckled and said:


    ��Except for Henry��s fingerprints, each of the money has another person��s fingerprints on it. The other person is absolutely inseparable from the money.��


    "who''s that person?"


    ��A female classmate of Henry��s, Jessie.��


    ����


    ��Good afternoon, Jess.��


    ??A branch of a business school in Las Vegas, an office.


    Winslow was sitting at the door of the office, slowly drinking a cup of coffee. Roan and Lacey were sitting on two chairs in the office, looking at the young girl with long red hair and a little freckles on her face across the table.


    ��Henry and her mother have been missing for two days. What terrible news.��


    ?Seeing Jesse��s face full of panic and confusion, Lacey pushed a cup of coffee in front of her, smiled, and asked:


    "Don''t be nervous, we just found out that you and Henry are very close. You know something about him, right?"


    ��Henry and I are indeed friends.��


    ??Jessie swallowed, looked at Roan and then at Lacey, and said:


    ��But I don��t know anything about him. You know, I��m a girl, and he won��t tell me many things.��


    Luo An chuckled:


    ��Like that more than ten thousand dollars?��


    ?Jessie was stunned for a moment, quickly retracted her gaze, picked up the coffee, took a sip, shook her head and said:


    ��Sorry, I don��t know what you are talking about.��


    Seeing Jess''s expression and actions, Luo An didn''t say anything, and Lacey laughed directly: "Jessie, deceiving the FBI and lying to the FBI is a violation of federal law.


    ?Except for Henry��s fingerprints, every one of the remaining pieces of money has your fingerprints on it. So, were you the one who gave Henry the money? "


    ??Jessie lowered her head and was at a loss. Lacey raised a brow and reached out to pat her shoulder:


    ��Jessie, give you one last chance to tell us the truth, otherwise we will contact your parents.��


    ��No! Don��t contact my parents!��


    Hearing this, Jessie''s pupils suddenly shrank and she raised her head and shouted. Looking at the expressionless Luo An, her body trembled violently, and she suddenly lowered her head and started crying.


    Luo An: ������


    After a few minutes, Jess''s mood gradually stabilized and she told what she knew.


    ?Henry and Jess actually have a closer relationship. The two of them, both of whom have good grades in middle school, have begun discussing where to go to college.


    ?However, if you want to go to college in the Federation, tuition is a big problem. Jess��s family is not particularly rich, but it is enough to pay for her to go to college.


    ?Henry, on the other hand, is a single-parent family whose financial situation is very average. If he wants to go to college, the only way is to apply for a college loan.


    ��A few days ago, Henry suddenly and mysteriously pulled me aside and took out $50,000.��


    Jessie swallowed and said she was shocked and thought Henry had done something illegal.


    ?Seeing that Jessie was worried, Henry patted his chest and said there was no need to be nervous. He made the money online through legal means and there was absolutely no problem.


    With Henry''s repeated assurances, Jess gradually let go of her anxiety, and the two began to live a life of debauchery after school. In the city of Las Vegas, they spent $10,000 in the blink of an eye. .


    ?The reason why Jessie didn''t dare to admit this was because Henry spent more than half of the ten thousand dollars on her, buying a lot of clothes and jewelry.


    Of course, Henry also loved his mother very much, but he couldn''t explain the money, so he secretly saved $20,000 and planned to give it to his mother for a suitable reason after he went to college.


    Raising his head and looking at each other at Lacey, Luo An asked quietly:


    ��What exactly happened to the money that Henry allegedly earned legally online?��


    ��Henry said that someone told him on the Internet that he called his mother one night and lied that he was seriously ill and asked his mother to go home.


    ?This $50,000 is a deposit. As long as his mother returns home smoothly, the man will give him another $50,000. "


    Speaking of this, Jie Qian burst into tears again.


    ??Jessie knew about Henry''s mother''s work. The case at the O''Dell family villa was so hotly debated that she also heard about it.


    Coupled with the fact that Henry lost contact the next day, she was smart and immediately thought of something, but because of fear and the messy thoughts in her mind, she did not dare to speak out at all, let alone call the police. She could only suppress herself. After these few days, A life of fear.


    ��OK.��


    ? Luo An frowned slightly and nodded. He did not comment on the behavior and actions of the 16-year-old girl in front of him. He asked directly:


    ��Jessie, the person Henry said he was communicating with online, do you know who he is?��


    "have no idea."


    ??Jessie shook her head and then added:


    ��But I have seen Henry chatting with the other party on the computer. In order to prevent Henry from getting too close to other girls, I know the password of Henry��s chat account.��


    ��Good.��


    ??Luo An nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Lacey to take Jessie to log in to Henry''s chat account. He took out his mobile phone and called Mona:


    ��How is the investigation going on here?��


    ��Sorry, Chenelle and I haven��t found any useful clues yet.��


    ??Then Mona changed her subject:


    ��But Michelle found some interesting new clues in that diary.��

 Chapter 448： Purannais **** operation, three suspects

    Chapter 448 Purannai��s **** operation, three suspects


    ?Las Vegas, a hotel suite.


    ??Taking Lacey and Winslow back to the suite, Roan walked directly to Michelle and asked:


    ��What clues did you find in that notebook?��


    ����not easy to describe.��


    ?Michelle scratched her head, with a complicated expression on her face, while Mona and Chenelle next to her had cold expressions.


    ?Luo An was a little confused when he saw this, and reached out to take the text that Michelle handed him.


    The content of the text is a few passages written and erased by Lakesha''s father, Pranay O''Dell.


    ? Feeling that she might not have much time left, Pranay O''Dell decided to eliminate a group of people so that her daughter Lacosa could successfully take charge of those companies and enterprises in the future.


    ??If these people are fired directly and arbitrarily, it may have an adverse impact on the company''s business, people''s hearts and other situations, and a compensation will also be required.


    ?So Purannai-O''Dell found his long-time friend, one of the three women who temporarily lived in the villa after the cocktail party, the older one among them.


    The old woman''s name was Krista, and she was a family friend of the O''Dell family. When she was young, she had an unclear relationship with Pranay O''Dell.


    ?Purannai��s operation was not complicated. He asked Krista to spend high salaries to hire people he wanted to fire into companies owned by Krista.


    ?After those people chose to change jobs, Purana fired them smoothly.


    Some of them have signed non-competition agreements with Purannai-O''Dell''s company, so Puranay-O''Dell is also planning to have lawyers sue those who changed jobs over time and demand a liquidated damages from them.


    ������x3


    After reading the content in the text, Winslow snorted and said nothing. Lacey was dumbfounded. She never expected that she could still do this.


    ?Luo An threw the text aside, with the same emotion on his face. It is indeed a capitalist country, and the billionaire Pranay O''Dell is really a leader in the capitalist society.


    "so��"


    ?Picking up the text that Luo An threw aside, Lacey lowered her head and looked at it carefully, and then had a strange expression on her face:


    ��Could the murderer of this case be a group of people who were tricked by Pranay O��Dell and Krista?


    ??Is this a case of revenge? "


    "Maybe."


    ??Luo An was noncommittal. He handed Mona the account password he had obtained from the middle school student Jessie and said:


    ��The person who gave Henry $50,000 and asked him to pretend to be sick on the night of the crime and trick his mother Belinda into leaving the villa and go home was most likely the same group of people who broke into the villa on the night of the crime.


    ??This is Henry''s chat history, Mona, try to find out the other person''s true identity. "


    "no problem."


    ??Mona took Henry''s account password and immediately started tapping on the keyboard with her ten fingers.


    The time on the clock has reached six o''clock in the evening. Lacey called the hotel waiter and asked someone to deliver the meal. Luo An and the others continued to analyze the clues of the case around the whiteboard.


    ?Looking at the photos of the victims on the whiteboard, Luo An suddenly pointed at the maid Iona who was suspected of being poisoned, and asked:


    ��Chenelle, did you find anything on this or that woman?��


    ��Only find some basic information.��


    Chenelle turned around and found a folder, opened it and read:


    ��Iona, 33 years old, her parents are in Arizona. She is not married, has no boyfriend, her financial status is average, and there are no abnormalities in her consumption records and bank account records.��


    Luo An thought for a while and then asked:


    ��How is Iona��s online record? Is there anything wrong with the people she speaks and contacts?��


    ��Iona in the online world is very average.��


    ?Chynielle explains:


    ��Iona rarely expresses her opinions on the Internet and spends most of her time browsing shopping pages.


    In terms of online social interaction, Iona has almost no friends. She seems to be more traditional and does not like those guys who praise themselves on the Internet. Many men who applied to add her as friends were rejected by Iona. However, Iona��s consumption records show that for the past six months, every Wednesday night after get off work, she would go to a coffee shop in southwest Las Vegas to buy a cup of coffee to take away.


    But there was no surveillance near the coffee shop. The service staff in the coffee shop only knew that Iona left to the left after shopping. We don��t know where she went, and we can��t find it. "


    Winslow was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, then frowned and said:


    ��Why does it feel like this woman is hiding herself or avoiding something?��


    "I also have this feeling."


    After Winslow finished speaking, Lacey came over after ordering her meal, nodded repeatedly and said:


    ��Iona is not bad looking, has a good figure, and has no shortage of men to chase her, but her love life has been blank.


    There is only one possibility in this situation. There is a man who keeps her avoiding her love life. "


    ?Luo An didn��t say anything, and Chenier tilted her head with confusion on her face:


    ��Why can��t it be Iona who likes women?��


    ��Because she is not that kind of person.��


    Lacie put her hands on her hips, smiled and said confidently:


    ��Believe me, I can tell at a glance that Iona is definitely not Lesbian.��


    ������xN


    Before Luo An and others could complain, Mona, who had been busy next to her, suddenly raised her hand and said loudly:


    ��Everyone, I found out who the guy who chatted with Henry online and gave him $50,000 was.��


    Hearing this, Luo An and the other five quickly stood up and came to Mona''s side. They lowered their heads and looked at the computer screen. There was a fair-looking white young man inside.


    ??Mona pointed at the computer and introduced:


    ��Pietro, 23 years old, has never gone to college, his family situation is average, and he is currently unemployed.��


    ��He doesn��t look like a guy who could cough up $50,000.��


    Luo An complained and asked:


    ��Can you find out where he got the $50,000?��


    ��Of course, it��s very simple, and there are unexpected benefits.��


    ?Mona��s fingers were flying on the keyboard, and she quickly called up photos of two other people next to Pietro��s photo.


    Both of them are white, but older. They look to be at least thirty years old.


    ��The bearded guy on the left is named Daryl, and the guy with the tattoo on his neck on the right is named Hubert. They are both the same age, both 42 years old this year.��


    ??Mona pointed to the photo of two middle-aged white men and introduced:


    ��Their fathers were neighbors and had a good relationship. Darryl and Hubert grew up together, went to middle school together, dropped out of school together, and joined the army together.


    The two left the army at different times, but they got together immediately after leaving the army. Pietro was the son of their comrade.


    Records show that the three of them are currently living together. Pietro is unemployed. Hubert and Daryl jointly opened a car repair shop that is about to go bankrupt. The $50,000 was transferred from an account registered by Daryl. of. "


    ��It��s not just that.��


    As soon as Mona finished speaking, Michelle next to her also discovered the clue. She looked at her computer and said loudly:


    ��Two days before and after the incident in the villa, the car repair shop coincidentally closed for two days.


    Furthermore, the normal consumption of the three people on weekdays also stopped during those two days. "


    ��It��s a coincidence that they have a good closing time, and they also own a car repair shop, and they also joined the army together.��


    Roan straightened up and patted Mona and Michelle on the shoulders, grinned, and asked:


    ��Where are these three gentlemen now? They don��t seem to have paid taxes on the $50,000. Let��s go and briefly discuss tax issues with them.��

 Chapter 449： If one arrest doesnt work, then two will be arrested.

    Chapter 449 Arrest operation, if one fails, then two


    Carson City, the capital of the federal state of Nevada, is at the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, 50 kilometers south of Reno and northwest of Las Vegas.


    The city is mainly engaged in mining, agriculture, forestry trade and other industries. On the west side of the city, there are the Sierra Nevada ski resort and the Lake Tahoe tourist resort, and the scenery is very beautiful.


    ??However, the members of the special investigation team led by Luo An had no intention of enjoying the scenery when they arrived in Carson City. They immediately contacted the local SWAT team after getting off the car, and then headed to a car repair shop in the southern suburbs of Carson City.


    According to Mona''s investigation, Daryl, Hubert and Pietro were staying at home at this time.


    ?Two black SUVs drove forward quickly, followed closely by a dark personnel carrier.


    Roan''s SUV was in the middle. Chenelle, who was sitting in the back seat, was checking the equipment carefully, while Mona, who was in the passenger seat, was typing on the keyboard with her head down.


    Following Winslow, who was driving in front, and turning into another intersection, Luo An asked:


    ��Mona, have you found the connection between the three Huberts and the O��Dell family?��


    ??After the three Huberts were identified as suspects in the villa case last night, everyone in the special investigation team began to search for the reasons why they committed the crime.


    The bearded Daryl, the tattooed Hubert, and the fair-skinned Pietro, the three of them simply live in two different worlds from the O''Dell family.


    If nothing unexpected happens, in this capitalist country like the Federation, the lives of both parties may never intersect in this lifetime.


    Because of Pranay O''Dell''s dirty tricks recorded in the notebook, Lacey once carefully searched for the connection between the O''Dell family and the three of them, trying to see if the O''Dell family had harmed them, or if their relatives.


    But a few hours later, the members of the special investigation team checked all the records of the three Darryls since they were born, and could not find any connection with the O''Dell family.


    Except they occasionally buy some food sold by a food company owned by the O''Dell family.


    But if you kill your whole family because you feel bad about eating... I feel like this reason is really unjustifiable.


    ��Sorry, not found.��


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Mona in the co-pilot shook her head and sighed. Chenille in the back seat saw this and said:


    ��When we catch these three people and interrogate them, we will know the reason.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An stopped asking further, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and immediately rushed in front of Winslow''s SUV.


    A few minutes later, three cars slowly stopped two streets away from Daryl''s small apartment where the three of them lived.


    ?The two SWAT team members set off first to check the situation. Luo An sat in the driver''s seat, took out his Glock 18, and began to carefully check the equipment.


    ��Discover the target person.��


    Soon, the communicator on Luo An��s chest sounded the voice of the SWAT team member:


    ��There is a target person in the living room on the first floor and a target person in the left bedroom on the second floor. Both of them have pistols beside them.


    ?There is one person left who has not been discovered yet. "


    ?Luo Anjie tilted his head and looked at Mona. Mona frowned and typed on the keyboard quickly, and quickly answered:


    ��Street surveillance did not find anyone leaving. I can��t find the details of the third person here. He is suspected to be in the basement.��


    ��OK.��


    Since time was running out, Luo An didn��t waste any time. He directly pressed the communicator and said:


    ��The third person is suspected to be in the basement. The two target persons have weapons in their hands. Please be more careful and focus on investigation later.


    Now, start taking action! "


    "clear!"


    ?As soon as the words fell, the door of the personnel carrier was opened instantly. A team of fully armed SWAT members, holding blast shields, breaching hammers and rifles, quickly moved towards the target apartment.


    Heavily armed Roan, Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle followed closely behind. Mona and Michelle stayed in the car to check the situation and prepare for support.


    ��Act separately!��


    There are two doors in the apartment, front and back. Upon seeing this, members of the SWAT team immediately divided into two teams. One team went to the front door, and the other team prepared to block the back door.


    Just as the SWAT team members holding blast shields arrived at the front door of the apartment, the communicator on everyone''s chest suddenly heard the shouts of the SWAT team members who were responsible for observing the situation in the distance:


    ��The target person in the bedroom on the second floor has been discovered! They are preparing to attack!��


    Hearing this, Luo An did not hesitate and immediately waved his hand:


    ��Break the door!�� ��������Understood!��


    ?The SWAT team member holding a door-breaking hammer quickly ran to the front door of the apartment, and without saying a word, he rammed the door hard.


    Boom��


    The ordinary wooden door was instantly smashed into pieces. The SWAT team members holding the door-breaking hammer quickly retreated. The SWAT team members carrying the explosion-proof shield quickly stepped forward, picked up the explosion-proof shield, knocked down the apartment door, and broke into the apartment. At the same time, they shouted loudly:


    ��FBI!��


    ��FBI! Put your hands up!��


    Hubert, who was watching TV and drinking beer in the hall, was startled. He subconsciously grabbed the pistol not far away and prepared to attack.


    ??The SWAT team members holding explosion-proof shields did not hesitate when they saw this. They directly followed the action plan, raised their rifles and pulled the triggers on Hubert''s limbs.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Hubert, who was shot, fell to the ground instantly. Luo An didn''t say anything. He waved to Winslow and others who rushed into the apartment from the back door to go upstairs and arrest them in the bedroom, while quickly heading to the door of the basement of the apartment.


    ??But Luo An didn''t rush in and went straight in. Instead, he took out two shock bombs from his back waist.


    ����


    ? Chenelle and Lacey twitched their lips when they saw this, but Luo An pretended not to notice, opened the basement door directly, and threw two shock bombs in.


    ??The moment the shock bomb entered the basement, a roar suddenly came from inside:


    ��Fu-k!��


    Boom!


    Boom!


    ?The next second, the shock bomb exploded, and the sound of swearing disappeared instantly. Luo An grinned, immediately opened the door and rushed down the stairs.


    At the end of the basement steps, a white young man with a touch of black ash on his face lay quietly on the ground.


    ??Took out the handcuffs and locked up the white young man. Luo An handed him over to Lacey and Chenelle, and then quickly left the basement and headed to the second floor of the apartment.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?At this time, in the bedroom on the left side of the second floor of the apartment, the bearded Daryl was firing continuously, while Winslow and two SWAT members were leaning diagonally opposite to avoid the bullets.


    ?When he realized something was wrong, Daryl closed the curtains in sequence. The two SWAT members outside who were responsible for observing the situation could no longer see clearly what was going on in the bedroom.


    ��Sonof better than eating.��


    Hearing the explosion of the shock bomb coming from downstairs, Winslow, who cursed Daryl in a low voice, grinned and immediately took out a shock bomb from his lower back.


    Since joining the Special Investigations Unit, Chenelle and Winslow have started carrying a few shock bombs on their backs every time they go out on a mission.


    ?Seeing this scene, Mona and Lacey were very speechless, while Luo An nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face. It was a success to have a successor.


    ?Taking out a shock bomb, Winslow moved quickly and threw it directly in the direction of the bedroom on the left.


    ��Shit!��


    In the bedroom, Daryl''s pupils shrank as he was thinking about an escape plan. While greeting Winslow, he reacted quickly and immediately picked up the magazine of a girl with no clothes on the table next to him, and knocked the shock bomb out of the bedroom. .


    Boom!


    ?A white light flashed, the shock bomb exploded in the corridor, and the magazine instantly turned into pieces.


    ?


    ?Daryl breathed a sigh of relief and just got up from the ground when he suddenly found two more shock bombs flying towards him in the air.


    Daryl: ��I*#������


    Boom! boom!


    ?The next second, two shock bombs exploded. Daryl only felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and then he was pressed on by several people and his hands were cuffed.


    ��If one is not enough, use two.��


    At the stairs on the second floor, Luo An patted Winslow, who had a dull face, smiled, then turned and walked towards the basement.


    Chenelle had just called out to Roan, saying she had found something in the basement.

 Chapter 450： Interrogation, the roles of Pietro and the three men in this case

    Chapter 450: Interrogation, the roles of the three Pietros in this case


    The basement of an apartment in the southern suburbs of Carson City.


    Before, he was busy going upstairs to arrest people and did not observe the basement carefully. This time he followed Cheniel''s call and returned to the basement. Luo An observed carefully while going down the stairs.


    Colorful sensor lights, speakers, projectors, computers with multiple displays, and computer chairs with flashing lights on the back... The decoration in the basement looks very technological, and even the toilet paper on the bedside not far away is sandwiched between in a box with a flashing light.


    ??However, the colorful lights were too flashing, which made Luo An a little annoyed. He reached out and turned on the lighting on the wall, walked to Chenier''s side, and asked:


    ��What did you find?��


    ��Pietro��s laptop.��


    Chenelle handed Luan a thick suitcase with a laptop inside.


    Chenelle said that she had just discovered that Pietro had hidden it in the wooden sandwich under the bed. After finding it, Chenelle found that it was still warm to the touch, indicating that Pietro was definitely using this machine before they came here. computer.


    ��But hearing our FBI voice, Pietro��s first reaction was to hide it, so there was definitely something wrong with the laptop.��


    ??Roan chuckled, nodded with satisfaction and patted Chenelle''s arm, instructing her and Lacey to deal with the scene and take away all the things in the room. Then he turned and left the basement, giving the laptop to Mona.


    Beside the SUV, Mona took the suitcase handed to her by Luo An, and her eyes lit up after opening it:


    ��Wow, it��s actually a laptop that I built myself.��


    Luo An was a little surprised when he heard this:


    "Homemade?"


    ?Mona turned around and went to the SUV to get her laptop and data cable, and said:


    ��Yes, the guy who assembled this computer is a talented person, but I don��t know if the other person has installed his own programs in the system.


    ??For example, if a firewall or incorrect login password is entered, it will explode and self-destruct immediately. "


    ����I��ll leave this computer to you.��


    ?Leave the laptop to Mona, and wait for Lacey and Chenelle to finish handling the scene, Roan called the Carson City FBI branch and temporarily borrowed an office and several interrogation rooms.


    ? Luo An doesn��t know much about computer technology, but he has great experience in interrogation work.


    ?In the interrogation room on the far left, Luo An and Cheniel pushed open the door and entered. The first person they began to interrogate was Pietro, a 23-year-old young man.


    "good afternoon."


    ?Entering the interrogation room, Chenelle sat on a chair with a gloomy face, took out a small notebook and began to record her words.


    Roan placed a cup of coffee in front of Pietro, sat sideways on the interrogation table, and asked with a smile:


    ��This is your first time being arrested by the FBI. How does it feel?��


    "not so good."


    ?Perhaps due to squatting in the basement without seeing the sun all year round, Pietro''s skin has a sickly pale color.


    ??Looking up at Luo An in front of him, Pietro swallowed, snorted coldly, and said:


    ��I want to find a lawyer, and I won��t say anything until the lawyer comes.��


    ��He is indeed a young man.��


    Luo An burst out laughing when he heard this, and clapped his hands.


    Pietro raised the corner of his mouth when he saw this, and just as he was about to speak, Luo An suddenly put away the smile on his face, and instantly changed it to an extremely serious and gloomy expression. He stared at Pietro with his eyes and said in a serious voice:


    ��Do you really think that a lawyer will be of use to what you are doing?��


    ����


    ??Pietro was startled by the speed and expression of Luo An''s face change. He swallowed and was about to speak. Luo An sneered, stood up and walked behind Pietro, saying as he walked:


    ��Your desktop computer and that laptop are now in our hands. There are many computer experts in the FBI. Who do you think is stronger in terms of your skills and their skills?��


    Hearing the words coming from behind him, Pietro lowered his head, his face uncertain.


    Upon seeing this, Luo An regained the smile on his face and said to Pietro with a smile: "Since you want to wait for the lawyer, then wait.


    ?But let me remind you, if we open your computer first and find evidence in it, we may not interrogate you later..."


    "Wait a moment!"


    Hearing this, Pietro was sweating on his forehead. When he saw Luo An preparing to leave the interrogation room while speaking, he finally lost his composure and said loudly:


    ��I can answer your questions, but I want a release agreement!


    No, three acquittals! "


    "impossible."


    Luo An spread his hands:


    "You must have guessed why we arrested the three of you. You have killed so many people, and it is impossible to get a pardon."


    ��No! We didn��t kill those people!��


    Hearing this, Pietro''s eyes widened immediately and he said with anger:


    ��You are setting this up! We never did those things!��


    Chenelle looked up at Pietro calmly. Luo An''s head moved slightly, but his expression did not change. He continued to say expressionlessly:


    ��Anyone who commits a crime will never admit what he has done in the first place.��


    ��Fu-k!��


    ?? Pietro hammered the interrogation table hard and was silent for a few seconds. He raised his head, stared at Luo An, and said:


    ��We really didn��t kill those people. I can tell you everything, but I want three plea agreements.��


    Plea agreements and exoneration agreements are legal provisions with deep federal characteristics.


    Plea agreements are applicable to defendants in criminal cases, whether it is murder, robbery, drug trafficking or economic crimes. As long as they sign a plea agreement, the defendant can obtain a series of benefits such as sentence reduction, probation, exemption from prosecution or reduction of criminal liability.


    ��At present, only you are willing to tell what happened, so you can only sign one plea agreement.��


    Roan hesitated for a few seconds and agreed. Pietro nodded helplessly. An hour later, the agreement was signed. Pietro picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, frowning and saying:


    ��This matter is actually an order we received in the online world.��


    ??Pietro said that the website was an underground criminal website, which was full of all kinds of illegal and criminal activities.


    Pietro didn''t dare to touch black criminal orders such as murder, pimping, and exclusive trading. Daryl and Hubert didn''t want to touch it, so the three of them had only been taking some gray orders inside.


    As time goes by, the development speed of the website accelerates, there are more and more black criminal orders, and naturally there are fewer and fewer gray orders. Life for the three Pietros gradually begins to become difficult.


    ?Some time ago, when Pietro was thinking about what he would do in the future if he left this website, he suddenly discovered a gray order, which was to steal something from a certain villa.


    ��The employer who placed the order said that he had already investigated the structure of the villa, personnel arrangements, and activities in the villa that day, etc. He only needed someone to steal the items, so the three of us accepted the order.��


    When saying this, Pietro cursed in a low voice, and then continued:


    ��According to the employer��s plan and the information given to me, I first established a good relationship with a guy named Henry online.


    Using the money our employer gave us, I bribed Henry to pretend to be sick and call his mother home that night.


    ?The employer would then send another woman he found to take over the role of Henry''s mother that night, enter the villa and drug everyone''s food.


    Then the three of us sneaked into the villa and stole those things..."


    Hearing this, Luo An frowned slightly and asked:


    ��You said that the employer asked the woman to give drugs to stun everyone, so why did everyone in the villa die?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 451： The story that happened in the second half of the night of the crime

    Chapter 451 What happened in the second half of the night of the crime


    "how could I know?!"


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Pietro cursed immediately.


    ??He said with anger on his face that the three of them did not know who the woman who was replaced in the villa was. The woman had been in single-line contact with her employer.


    The three Pietros had questioned this, but the employer said that they either believed that women were okay or quit the task. The three people who were short of money looked at each other and felt that the commission after the task was successful was more important.


    ?Pietro continued:


    ��That night, the three of us followed the plan, drove around the surveillance camera, and arrived at the outskirts of the villa.


    ?First of all, the woman found a way to insert a USB flash drive prepared in advance in the monitoring room. I used this to hack into the villa''s monitoring system and replace the monitoring with a replay video.


    After success, we drove the car close to the southwest corner of the villa. I stayed in the car and turned on the signal jammer to prevent anyone from calling the police. Hubert and Daryl sneaked into the villa from under the barbed wire fence and stole things according to the list..."


    ??But what Daryl and Hubert never expected was that they successfully sneaked into the villa, but in the process of stealing things, they found that all the people in the villa had lost their breath.


    ?Hubert and Daryl were frightened when they saw that all twenty people were dead. The two of them, who had grown up playing together, looked at each other and understood each other''s thoughts and gave up the mission.


    ??The two took nothing, quickly erased all traces of their entry into the villa, got out of the barbed wire fence and returned to the car, pushed Pietro away, turned off the signal jammer, and drove quickly away from the area.


    The employer was contacted afterwards, but the employer lost contact, and the three men immediately started to curse.


    ?But fortunately, they did not lose money on this trip, because the employer originally expected to give Henry $100,000, but the three Pietros withheld half of it and only gave Henry $50,000.


    ����


    After Pietro finished narrating, Chenelle frowned and looked at Luo An, who was silent for a few seconds and asked:


    ��What did you mean when you said that the employer asked you to steal some things? Are there many target items?��


    "a lot of!"


    ?Pietro nodded heavily and said that the employer listed more than a dozen items.


    Among the precious ones are Pranay O''Dell''s fingerprints, photos taken from all angles of the safe in Pranay O''Dell''s study, a certain ivory sculpture in the upper right corner of Pranay O''Dell''s study, and Pranay-O''Dell''s study. Certain papers, etc. on the bottom floor of O''Dell''s desk.


    ?In addition to things related to Purannai-O''Dell himself, there are also items belonging to Purannay-O''Dell''s two daughters-in-law, as well as things belonging to six overnight guests, such as fingerprints, bracelets, necklaces, keys, rings, etc.


    ?There are a lot of them, nearly twenty kinds in total.


    So that night, Daryl and Hubert both sneaked into the villa with bags on their chests, giving the impression that they were buying goods.


    ������x2


    Chenelle twitched her lips when she heard this, and Roan was speechless. He continued to ask Pietro a few questions, and then the two of them got up and left the interrogation room.


    In the corridor, Chenelle looked at the small notebook in her hand that recorded the interrogation content, raised her head and asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ?Luo An held his chin and pondered for a few seconds, then turned and walked towards the other two interrogation rooms:


    ��Continue the review and see if there is any difference between Hubert and Daryl��s description and Pietro��s words.��


    "no problem."


    ����


    ?Three hours passed, at 4:30 in the afternoon, Roan and Chenelle ended the interrogation of Daryl and Hubert.


    ??The interrogation of these two people was similar to Pietro''s, and the general direction was the same, that is, they found the dead people when they entered the villa, and then ran away quickly.


    ?However, there are some differences in small details. For example, Hubert and Daryl did not actually return empty-handed.


    They confiscated the cash from the deceased in the villa, as well as the high-end cosmetics that a certain daughter-in-law of Purannai O''Dell had just bought and had not yet been used.


    Because a woman Daryl knew was celebrating her birthday, Daryl planned to use the cosmetics to give her a birthday surprise.


    Luo Ancheng always turned on the "emotional perception" in his mind. After several inquiries, he was sure that the three people were telling the truth, so he asked these small details.


    But these small details are of little use at present, because it was not the three Pietros who drugged and killed people, they were just hired thieves. "The good news is that we caught the three thieves and know what happened in the second half of the night of the villa tragedy."


    ?Hold the interrogation record, Lacey swayed on the chair and said with a strange expression:


    ��The bad news is that we still don��t know what happened in the first half of the night of the villa tragedy, who was the poisoner, and why that person did it.��


    ��We don��t yet know who the employer placed the order for the three Pietros.��


    Next to Michelle added:


    ��Henry and his mother Belinda have not been found either, and it is not known where they are now.��


    Lacie threw the interrogation record aside and sighed:


    ��Well, it sounds like there��s more bad news.


    ?But at least we have the next direction of investigation, which is to find out who the mysterious employer is. "


    Chenelle picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip. She looked at Mona who was typing furiously on the keyboard and asked:


    ��Mona, how did you check that website?��


    ?? Before Pietro��s interrogation was over, Mona had opened Pietro��s laptop and discovered the criminal website.


    ??Then Mona discovered that if she wanted to log into the criminal website, she only had two opportunities to enter her account password.


    ??Once you enter the wrong account and password, the account and password will be canceled on the spot. If you want to get a new account, it will not only take a month to review, but also require 10,000 US dollars.


    ?Ten thousand dollars is not important. One month is too long for important matters, and the special investigation team seems unable to wait.


    ??Just when Mona was hesitant to try to invade, Roan''s interrogation ended and he asked Pietro if he recognized the account password.


    ??Mona successfully logged into the website and discovered the chat history between Pietro and the employer, and then began to track down the identity of the employer.


    ?Hearing Cheniel��s question, Mona didn��t even raise her head, her eyes were fixed on the letters and numbers flashing on the computer, and she said coldly:


    ��Give me some more time!��


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ?Chenelle nodded, reached out on the table and picked up a piece of cake Lacey bought, sat down next to Mona and fed it to her.


    ?Mona kept her eyes still, opened her mouth, took a bite, and began to eat the cake while typing on the keyboard.


    Lacey, who saw this scene next to her, frowned slightly. She didn''t know if it was an illusion. She felt that Cheniel, a cold-hearted person who didn''t like to talk, seemed to like feeding others?


    Winslow and Michelle lowered their heads to exchange their views on the case. They turned around and found Luo An sitting on a chair, holding a piece of paper and frowning in thought. He stood up and walked to Luo An and asked:


    ��Team leader, what are you thinking about?��


    As he spoke, Winslow looked down at the paper Luo An was holding and found that it contained a list of items that Pietro and the three of them had narrated, and that the employer wanted them to steal from the villa.


    ?Luo An pondered for a few seconds, handed the paper to Winslow, picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, frowning and saying:


    ��I��m wondering if the real target of the mastermind behind this is not the O��Dell family at all?��


    ��What?��


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Hearing this, except for Mona, Chenelle, Lacey and Michelle all raised their heads and turned their attention to Roan.


    Bang!


    Winslow seemed to have thought of something and moved his eyes to speak. At this moment, Mona suddenly smashed the keyboard and shouted angrily:


    ��Fu-k! NSA! (Federal National Security Agency)��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 452： NSA fishing, the real purpose of the “employer”?

    Chapter 452: NSA fishing, the real purpose of the ��employer��?


    At five o''clock in the afternoon, the temporarily borrowed office area.


    score


    ??The sound of Mona typing the keyboard suddenly startled everyone. Lacey put aside her doubts about Luo An''s words, turned around and asked:


    ��Mona, what happened?��


    ��Damn NSA (Federal National Security Agency)!��


    Swearing a few words angrily, she stood up and handed the computer to Luo An. Mona said with an unhappy face:


    ��Roan, the criminal website that Pietro logged into was most likely created by the NSA group.��


    ???��


    Lacey, Chenelle, Winslow and Michelle had questions on their faces. Roan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded:


    ��For fishing?��


    ��High probability.��


    ?Mona nodded heavily, indicating that she had just tried to use some means to bypass the firewall and log into the backend of the website to find the employer''s computer IP and other information.


    ??As a result, Mona discovered that the underlying architecture pattern of this criminal website felt very familiar to her. Before she could think about it carefully, someone suddenly started to trace Mona in reverse.


    ??Mona had just logged into the underlying structure of the website and had not yet carried out any sabotage operations. The other party did not use more direct methods immediately, so Mona had an opportunity to invade the other party.


    But just when Mona was about to succeed, a powerful third party suddenly appeared. Not only did she cut off Mona''s intrusion structure, but she also almost successfully invaded Mona''s computer and forced Mona''s computer to report her location to the other party. Location.


    ��That new group of third parties is definitely the NSA!��


    Mona gritted her back molars and said she would never admit the wrong person. When she first joined the FBI and was still in Investigation Team 5, she had been beaten back several times by the people in the NSA. Mona was very familiar with the other party. Internet style.


    ?Furthermore, the structure of this criminal website is exactly the same as some websites established by the NSA that Mona hacked before. The underlying logic is exactly the same. Mona said that she will never admit her mistake. This criminal website was definitely established by the NSA.


    ������x4


    After listening to Mona��s narration, Chenelle, Lacey, Winslow and Michelle looked confused, while Roan nodded thoughtfully.


    NSA, the Federal National Security Agency, is the largest intelligence department among federal government agencies. It is responsible for collecting and analyzing foreign and domestic communications data. It is affiliated with the Department of Defense and is also known as the National Security Agency.


    ?This department is mainly responsible for monitoring radio broadcasts, communications, and the Internet, especially military and diplomatic secret communications.


    ? 14 years later, it was revealed that the Federal National Security Agency had implanted surveillance software in 100,000 computers around the world. World-renowned companies such as Samsung and Dell have not escaped its clutches.


    At this time, the time has just reached 2006, and computers have not yet developed to the point of prosperity as in later generations. However, the CIA has begun to use the method of establishing criminal websites, attracting criminals to settle in, monitoring each other at all times, and catching them all at critical moments, and the NSA is learning from it. This is also normal.


    In fact, 80% of the mysterious "deep web" and "dark web" that have been rumored in later generations are under surveillance. As soon as some people who don''t know why place an order, there will be FBI, NSA and even CIA to knock on them. The door is closed.


    ?? He reached out and grabbed the angry Mona and pulled her to sit on a chair. Luo An chuckled and handed her a piece of cake, saying that he would contact the NSA later and would definitely get the "employer''s" information from the NSA.


    ��But we need to investigate one other thing now.��


    ?Picking up the list of items stolen by the three Pietros requested by their employer, Luo An distributed the paper to everyone and explained:


    ��I have been thinking before, why did the employer want the three Pietros to steal so many things.��


    ???The list provided by the three Pietros lasted for several pages. It was rich in variety and complete with samples, and they almost did not take away the clothes of those in the villa.


    Winslow was the first to react and said in a deep voice:


    ��You mean that the employer��s real goal may be just one of the items in the list, or even one of them?


    The reason why he wrote so much was just to cover up his true purpose? " After the words fell, Lacey suddenly realized, clapped her hands, and continued:


    ��According to what the three Pietros said, their original plan was just to stun the people in the villa.


    If the plan goes well, when those people wake up the next day and see that one of their own items is missing, they may panic and make guesses, but when they see that everyone else��s items are lost, that person will feel relieved. "


    Michelle next to her also thought clearly about the logic of this matter and added:


    ��Moreover, there are many missing items and various types, which will cause great trouble to the law enforcement agencies who come to investigate.��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An nodded, then pointed at the paper in the hands of the agents and said:


    ��Everyone, I will contact the NSA to find out the identity of that ��employer��.


    You will investigate these items in the list next, connect them with the item holders, and see if any item has a special function. "


    At this point, Luo An paused, then looked at Mona and Michelle, and said:


    ��In addition, you two should carefully check the information about the six guests, as well as the chef, driver, maid, etc. outside the Odell family.


    See if two, or more than three of them are related to a certain person or organization. "


    "no problem!"


    ?All the agents nodded in unison and walked to their seats to start working. Luo An picked up the cake on the table and ate it in two bites, then walked to the balcony with his mobile phone.


    The NSA (Federal National Security Agency) is the agency that employs the largest number of PhDs in mathematics, PhDs in computer science, and linguists in the world. It is also one of the most mysterious intelligence agencies in the federal government.


    Because it is too mysterious and even completely unknown to other departments of the federal government, its abbreviation NSA is often jokingly called "No Such Agency".


    ? Luo An has been in the Federation for so long, and he has never had any contact with people in this department. The only indirect contact he had was with Lydia (Chapter 48) a long time ago.


    ?However, Luo An is not familiar with the NSA, but some people are very familiar with the NSA, such as Mr. Clement, such as Team Leader Elmer of the IRS.


    The latter is, after all, a member of the IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Investigation Division), and he is somewhat thin-faced wherever he goes.


    ??But Team Leader Elmer paid more attention to money matters, and this case had little to do with them, so Luo An walked to the balcony and took out his mobile phone and called Veranith first.


    ?While on vacation some time ago, Luo An once treated Veranith to a casual meal on a weekend night to build up the relationship.


    ??Although Luo An and Veranith have a lot of phone calls on weekdays, seeing them is better than seeing them. Having the opportunity to chat in person is definitely far better than chatting on the phone.


    ��Good evening, sir.��


    The phone call was quickly answered. Luo An stood on the balcony and looked at the beautiful night view in the distance, smiled, and started chatting with Veranith.


    The two chatted briefly for a while, and Luo An brought the topic to the case he was currently handling.


    ��NSA����


    After listening to Luo An��s narration, far away in New York, wearing a gray close-fitting thermal shirt, Lacey Verenis sat lazily on a chair, frowned slightly and thought about it, then quickly agreed and hung up the phone.


    ?Ten minutes later, Luo An��s cell phone rang again. He pressed the answer button and a serious male voice sounded on the phone:


    ��Hello, Team Leader Greenwood. I��m Kotlik, Team Leader of the NSA��s External Liaison Department.


    ?Excuse me, is Mona Evans with you now? "


    Hearing the following words, Luo An''s eyes suddenly narrowed.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 453： Check the clues and find the suspect!

    Chapter 453: Investigate clues and discover the suspect!


    ?From the moment he met Mona, Luo An discovered that Mona was not a peaceful person.


    The restlessness here does not refer to Mona��s lifestyle or emotional aspects, but to the part of Mona related to computers.


    ??Mona��s computer skills are very good, but they are not among the best in the Federation.


    ? Mona has two goals in life: one is to save money to buy a large villa of her own, and the other is to hone her computer skills to the top and reach the best level.


    ? It goes without saying that the first goal needs to be elaborated. In order to achieve the second goal, Mona has never stopped exercising her computer skills since she joined the FBI.


    ??The exercise method is very simple. The federal intelligence system includes 18 member agencies, such as CIA, FBI, NSA, DIA (Federal Defense Intelligence Agency), etc. Mona invaded one by one.


    Although they were defeated by the people in those departments, Mona''s computer skills have been improving rapidly, and Mona is very happy about this... August, the leader of the No. 5 investigation team, feels very headache about this, and the people behind it have headaches. Then he became Luo An, the leader of the special investigation team.


    ?But Mona knew the rules. She only fought with the computer technicians in those departments and did not do anything too extreme.


    ??Coupled with the rapid rise in Mona''s computer skills, the special investigation team needed computer talents, so Luo An had a headache, but he did not directly ban Mona''s behavior.


    Hearing the words of Kotlik, a team leader of the NSA��s External Liaison Department, Luo An chuckled:


    ��Yes, Mona Evans is with me now. Our special investigation team is investigating a case. She followed my order and investigated an Internet crime website..."


    Roan gave a brief summary of the case. Team Leader Kotlik on the other end of the phone understood the meaning of Roan''s words. He was silent for a few seconds, coughed, and said with a serious face:


    ��The NSA has also been paying attention to this criminal website, and we have some understanding of the situation inside.


    We at the NSA have investigated the "employer" you provided and cannot find out the specific identity of the other party. However, we have found the network IP and signal source when the other party logged in to the website. I can give these contents to you..."


    ?Hearing Kotlik''s words, the corners of Luo An''s lips raised slightly.


    Obviously, the NSA did not admit that the website was set up for fishing. Luo An wanted to know who the "employer" was and needed to check it himself. The NSA could only "find" some basic information.


    ?Luo An doesn��t care about this either. He doesn��t care who the big fish the NSA wants to catch is. Now he just wants to solve the case in his hands.


    ??After receiving the information given by Team Leader Kotlik, Luo An exchanged a few words with the other party and hung up the phone. Then he quickly walked back to the room and handed the information to Mona.


    "I knew it��"


    After receiving the message, Mona muttered a few words with an unhappy face, then pulled out her laptop, took a deep breath, and started typing on the keyboard quickly.


    With the accurate IP and signal source, Mona quickly found the other party��s location:


    Oregon, Portland, a coffee shop at the end of a street in the southwest corner.


    Lacie was slightly startled when she saw this position:


    ��So, the ��employer�� is the owner of this coffee shop?��


    ��No.��


    ??Mona kept typing on the keyboard. She shook her head and said:


    ��I found out the information about the owner of this coffee shop. He is a sixty-three-year-old grandmother.


    Leaving aside whether she knows how to use a computer, judging from her life history, she and her son have nothing to do with the O''Dell family or the few guests living in the villa. "


    ��Then check who was in the coffee shop when the employer spoke to the criminal network.��


    ?Hold his hands across his chest, Luo An said in a deep voice:


    ��Records show that this coffee shop has free internet. It doesn��t matter whether the coffee in the coffee shop tastes good or not. Only with free internet can there be good business.��


    ?Michelle and Winslow nodded after hearing this, Chenelle looked confused, and Lacey was speechless.


    ��What you said makes sense, but it��s a pity that this coffee shop has an Internet connection, but because of customer complaints, the original surveillance video was removed.��


    ??Amidst the crackling sound, Mona told the bad news with a helpless expression.


    Just as Luo An and others were about to speak, Mona changed her tone, smiled slightly, and continued:


    ��But there is also good news. Opposite this coffee shop, there is a 24-hour ATM. This ATM records everyone who enters and exits the coffee shop..."


    While speaking, Mona��s computer began to play the flow of people in the coffee shop. Just when Mona was about to investigate these people one by one, Luo An suddenly raised his brows, pointed to the computer, and said loudly:


    "Pause!"


    ?Mona looked puzzled:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��Go back.��


    ??According to Luo An''s words, Mona began to play back the surveillance video bit by bit. After a few seconds, Luo An pointed at a tall man in the surveillance camera and said coldly:


    ��Look this guy up.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona nodded in agreement. Chenelle, Lacey and Michelle were a little confused when they saw this. Winslow reacted quickly and said:


    ��It��s the man described by the old white lady downstairs where Hunter and Belinda, mother and son, live!��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An nodded. When he and Winslow went to Hunter''s house to investigate, the old white woman who lived on the corner of the first floor of that building said that Belinda and Hunter left the building with a man that night. building.


    The grandmother didn��t see what the man looked like specifically, but the man was taller than Winslow, but thinner than Luo An. He could just match the man in the surveillance video who walked into the coffee shop carrying a computer bag.


    ��I found it!��


    ??As Michelle logged into the FBI''s internal database and used facial recognition technology, Mona quickly figured out the identity of the tall man:


    ��Hector Jamie, 34 years old, has been in prison for violent injury.


    Before this incident, Hector Jamie worked as a gardener at Krista''s manor for a period of time! "


    ����


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly. Krista, 75 years old, was one of the guests who temporarily lived in the villa on the night of the tragedy, and she was also an old friend of Pranay O''Dell.


    ��I also found something here!��


    As soon as Mona finished speaking, Chenier beside her suddenly raised her hand, handed the list in her hand to Luo An, pointed to a red circle inside and said:


    ��This is the cross around Krista��s neck, one of the things that the ��employer�� asked the three Pietros to steal.


    When I was investigating Krista''s situation information just now, I found that Krista''s family has a legend that the cross around her neck, combined with a ruby ??ring from Krista''s family, can open a gram. The hidden treasure of Lista''s family ancestors.


    ??It is impossible to determine whether this treasure is true or false, but the ruby ??ring suddenly disappeared a few years ago.


    The time when the ring disappeared happened to coincide with the time when Hector Jamie was working as a landscaper and went to prison for violent injuries! "


    As soon as Chenelle finished speaking, Michelle said loudly:


    ��I checked Hector Jamie��s consumption records in recent times.


    ? Records show that the day before the incident in the villa, he happened to take a plane to Las Vegas and went to several casinos to play.


    On the night of the incident, consumption records showed that Hector Jamie went back to the hotel to rest because he lost money. "


    ��What a couple of beautiful coincidences.��


    After listening to the three women��s narration, Luo An chuckled, picked up the coffee on the table and drank it in one gulp, saying loudly:


    ��Everyone, please work overtime tonight. Michelle, book a flight and we��ll fly to Portland, Oregon!��

 Chapter 454： Discussion among the agents, arrest operation

    Chapter 454 Discussion among the agents, arrest operation


    Portland, Oregon.


    Due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the climate is wet, cold and rainy in winter and hot and dry in summer, making this climate suitable for growing roses. Therefore, there are many rose plantations in Portland. Portland is also known as the "City of Roses" and has been chosen as the "City of Roses" for many years. Rated as one of the most livable cities in the Commonwealth.


    When Luo An led the special investigation team to Portland, it happened to be snowing lightly. The falling snowflakes made the whole Portland seem to be put on a crystal clear new dress, wrapped in silver, fresh and refined.


    "Really cold."


    ??Next to the 8-seater black MPV temporarily borrowed by the local FBI, Michelle opened the door and got in, distributed the hot coffee she bought to everyone, then looked at Luo An and asked:


    ��When do we act?��


    ��Wait a moment.��


    ??Taking the hot coffee, Luo An thanked her, then pointed at Mona on the passenger seat and said:


    ��Mona is locating Hector Jamie��s location.��


    The FBI internal database shows that Hector Jamie is currently working as a cook in the back kitchen of a hotel. Before starting the operation, you need to confirm where the other party is, whether he is resting at home or working in the hotel.


    Michelle nodded, took a sip of the hot coffee, and turned around to find Lacey holding the coffee and looking out the car window in a daze. Michelle patted Lacey lightly and asked with a smile:


    "what''s on your mind?"


    Lacie came back to her senses and replied with a smile:


    ��I��m thinking about how to spend the overtime pay after this case is over.��


    ???Although Lakesha O''Dell is young, she is a woman who knows how to solve crimes.


    In order to give an explanation to the families of those guests, and to wipe away the dirty water on her body, Lakesha O''Dell is willing to fund the special investigation team with 10 million US dollars in special case handling funds. Each member of the special investigation team, Lakesha also He was willing to pay an additional US$2 million in overtime pay, and the team leader''s overtime pay even reached US$3 million.


    The salary of FBI agents is actually not high. Every year, up to 9% of FBI agents in San Francisco are forced to resign due to low salary. Before Lacey and others joined the special investigation team, salary had always been a headache for them.


    Since following Roan to Los Angeles and joining the Special Investigation Team, Lacey''s salary has remained the same, but other gains after each case is solved have begun to increase rapidly, making Lacey''s pocket gradually fuller.


    ??The same is true for Michelle, and Chenille and Winslow, who joined the Special Investigations Unit not long ago, also feel the same way.


    ?Especially for Winslow, his previous salary was not enough to spend on himself. In addition, his ex-wife is now looking for a husband who is an engineer and has an excellent living standard. Winslow has been embarrassed to see his ex-wife and son.


    Since joining the Special Investigation Unit, Winslow''s pockets have begun to swell, and the money has emboldened him. Winslow began to have the courage to meet his ex-wife and son, and bought many gifts for his son.


    ??So when they heard Lacey''s words, Michelle, Winslow and Chenelle''s eyes all lit up. They all glanced at Luo An in front of them with gratitude, and then began to discuss their plans after the case was over.


    Winslow and Lacey had the same idea as before, they still wanted to save things first, and Michelle was the same. Something happened with Chenelle''s parents, so she planned to take a leave of absence after the case was over and go back to her parents'' place. Take a look while you''re at it.


    ��It��s not a good thing to open champagne at halftime, please stop for a moment.��


    ?A few people discussed for a while, and Luo An suddenly turned around and interrupted them with a smile:


    ��Mona has found the location of Hector Jamie, he is in that hotel.��


    ��OK!��


    Hearing this, all the agents stopped their discussion and nodded in unison. Luo An stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand:


    "Set off!"


    ?The next second, the eight-seater MPV roared suddenly and quickly drove into the driveway.


    Hector Jamie''s restaurant is located on a street in the southwest of Portland. Its main dishes are seafood and barbecue, and there is a lot of traffic. Even if it snows today, the restaurant is still bustling with customers.


    ??The black MPV slowly parked at the street entrance diagonally opposite the restaurant. Luo An glanced at the bustling restaurant, and then began to inspect the equipment and arrange tasks:


    ��Lessie, you and I go in through the front door and arrest someone.


    ?Mona, Michelle, you two stay at the front door of the hotel. If anything happens, be sure to block it.


    ? Winslow, Chenelle, and you two went to the back door and found the target person fleeing from there, so they arrested him immediately! "


    "clear!"


    All the agents responded in unison. Luo An nodded with satisfaction. After checking the equipment, he immediately got out of the car and took Lacey into the restaurant.    "Hello."


    ?Seeing someone pushing the door open, the restaurant waiter stepped forward subconsciously. Without saying anything, Luo An took out the FBI''s golden badge from his pocket and asked sternly:


    ��FBI. Where is Hector Jamie?��


    ������He is in the kitchen.��


    The waitress was stunned for a moment, then led Mona and Lacey to the kitchen. The waiters nearby turned around immediately when they saw this. It seemed that they were going to find the manager. Luo An and Lacey ignored them and grabbed Heck first. To-Jamie is the most important.


    The restaurant��s kitchen was filled with the sounds of flames burning and the chaos of dishes and pans being handled. Following Luo An��s instructions, the waitress stood at the door of the kitchen and shouted:


    ��Hector! The manager is looking for you!��


    ��OK!��


    As soon as the words fell, a tall and thin man responded immediately. He patted the colleague beside him and handed him the unfinished work. He stood up and walked to the kitchen door. As he walked, he asked:


    ��What does the manager want from me?��


    ??The waiter''s eyes moved slightly and he was about to answer. Hector Jamie was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He suddenly grabbed the kitchen door and slammed it shut. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran towards the back door of the restaurant.


    ��Fu-k!��


    "Chase!"


    ?Lacie, who was ambushing at the door of the kitchen, yelled and cursed. Seeing this, Luo An kicked the door open and quickly chased after her with Lacey.


    "Step aside!"


    ��Get out of my way!��


    ??This restaurant is not small in scale. In addition to the back kitchen, it also has a cold storage and a long corridor. Hector Jamie ran away from the back door as fast as crazy. He pulled all the pedestrians and boxes on the road to the ground.


    ��Shit!��


    The narrow corridor and fallen pedestrians'' belongings caused a lot of trouble for Luo An and Lacey. Lacey yelled and cursed, and Luo An frowned slightly. For fear of accidentally injuring passers-by, he did not raise his gun and shoot directly, but continued the chase. other side.


    ?Hector Jamie quickly ran to the back door, but as soon as he opened the door, a big fist appeared in front of him.


    score


    Winslow, who was in ambush, took advantage of Hector Jamie''s unpreparedness and punched him hard in the face. Hector''s eyes suddenly bulged, and blood instantly flowed from his nose.


    Hector Jamie, who was busy running for his life, gritted his teeth and forced himself to keep himself from falling to the ground. He dodged Chenier''s second punch. Seeing Winslow standing on the left with a cold face, Hector hurriedly stood up and prepared to go to the right. run.


    boom! boom!


    ?The next second, two gunshots rang through the area. Hector Jamie felt a sharp pain in his two calves, and then he fell forward uncontrollably and fell to the ground.


    ?


    ??Slowly walking out of the back door with Lacey, Luo An looked at Hector Jamie on the ground with a look of pain on his face, smiled slightly, and blew the muzzle of the Glock 18:


    "take away!"


    ����


    Three hours later, a special investigation team temporarily borrowed an interrogation room at the Portland FBI branch.


    ��Good afternoon, Hector Jamie.��


    Across the interrogation table, Luo An and Cheniel sat down and asked directly without any nonsense:


    ��Where are Henry and his mother Belinda now?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 455： The truth about the case as told by the suspect

    Chapter 455 The truth about the case as told by the suspect


    ??In the interrogation room, Hector Jamie, who had been shot in both legs, was sitting in a wheelchair, his hands were handcuffed together, and he was silent for a long time. He sighed and replied in a low voice:


    ��The mother and son should still be alive. They are in the basement of a house in south Las Vegas.��


    Chenelle in the interrogation room was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Winslow, Mona, Lacey and Michelle who were observing the interrogation in the monitoring room nearby were also slightly stunned.


    After learning that the mother and son Belinda and Henry were missing and could not find any clues, the special investigation team had prepared for the worst. After all, the murderer had killed 26 people in the villa, not least Belinda and Henry. Henry these two.


    Knowing that the mother and son might still be alive, Luo An frowned slightly and immediately asked:


    ��Where is the specific location of that house?��


    ??Hector Jamie revealed the specific location, and Luo An immediately suspended the interrogation, left the room, took out his cell phone, and called the local FBI in Las Vegas, asking them to help go to that house to rescue people.


    Hang up the phone, Luo An walked into the monitoring room and said to Winslow and Lacey:


    ��You two will take a plane to Las Vegas now to confirm the situation of Belinda and Henry, mother and son.��


    "clear."


    ?Winslow and Lacey nodded in unison, turned around and left immediately. Roan pondered for a few seconds, walked back to the interrogation room, and continued to interrogate Hector Jamie.


    ��You must already know why we arrested you.��


    Roan put a cup of hot coffee in front of Hector Jamie, then sat back on the chair and asked:


    ��Tell me, what is going on in the villa case?��


    ?Hector Jamie did not answer Roan��s question immediately, but stated his request with a serious face:


    ��I ask to sign a plea agreement.��


    ?? Chenier frowned slightly when she heard this and turned to look at Luo An. Only the leader of the special investigation team has the power to decide whether to agree to the other party.


    ??Luo An stared at Hector Jamie for a long time, until Hector Jamie looked unnatural and twisted around in his chair. Luo An suddenly grinned and agreed to the other party''s request:


    ��No problem, but you know the requirements for signing a plea agreement, right?


    After signing the agreement, you must truthfully admit the crime and must not make perjury or make false statements. "


    ?Hector Jamie nodded repeatedly, and Luo An stopped talking nonsense when he saw this. Two hours later, the two parties signed a plea agreement, and Hector Jamie looked relaxed and explained everything.


    When Hector Jamie was young, he met a boss who resold second-hand antiques. He heard about the legendary treasure of the Krista family from him. After ten years of investigation, Hector Jamie Make sure that treasure actually exists in this world.


    ?The cross that Krista lost was indeed stolen by Hector Jamie who deliberately disguised himself as a gardener and entered the manor.


    But Hector Jamie only stole the cross and the ruby ??ring, which Christa had been wearing on her hand, and he had no chance to get it.


    After leaving prison, Hector Jamie had been thinking about how to get the ruby ??ring. At this time, he met Iona in a bar in Las Vegas.


    Hector Jamie sighed and said:


    ��Iona was very sad at the time because her favorite boyfriend, who was forced by Pranay O��Dell��s eldest daughter-in-law, died suddenly of an overdose during exercise.��


    Iona''s boyfriend was very handsome and worked in the O''Dell family''s company. For some reason, he was attracted by Pranay O''Dell''s eldest daughter-in-law, so the tragedy happened.


    Iona hated that woman very much, but she had a high status and money, so Iona couldn''t take revenge. Hector Jamie didn''t care after knowing about it, because he couldn''t help her.


    Until some time ago, Hector Jamie, who had been observing Krista, learned about the reception.


    ?Hector-Jamie thought quickly and found Iona. Hector Jamie didn��t tell Iona about the treasure. He only said that he wanted to steal things and make money. The cocktail party was an opportunity. Iona could also take advantage of the cocktail party to take revenge on Puranai Odell��s eldest daughter-in-law.


    Not only that, Hector Jamie also said that he found out that Puranai O''Dell''s eldest daughter-in-law secretly deposited an bearer bond worth 50 million US dollars in a bank in Las Vegas.


    ??As long as he gets the fingerprints of Pranay O''Dell''s eldest daughter-in-law, Hector Jamie can take out the bond from the bank, which will cost the two of them half of the US$50 million.


    ?Hector Jamie felt that what he said was a bit false, but Iona agreed without thinking, and then began to make a plan.


    The plan made by the two was not very complicated. Hector Jamie first found the information about Belinda and her son, and then posted an order online to find a capable and skilled thief.


    On the night of the reception, Henry, a middle school student who received $50,000, pretended to be sick and called his mother to trick her into going home. Iona took the opportunity to take over Belinda''s position as the cook, put drugs in the food, and stunned everyone in the villa. , the thief took the opportunity to enter the villa, purchase goods according to the list... and stole things.


    As for the mother and son Belinda and Henry, Hector Jamie��s original plan was to deceive the two and kill them, completely erasing their traces.


    ��But the plan is the plan, and when it comes to killing someone, I still back down.��


    Hector Jamie swallowed and said that he still underestimated the psychological pressure of killing someone.


    According to the original plan, when Hector Jamie brought Henry and Belinda, mother and son, into the prepared basement, Iona on the other side of the villa should have already drugged them, and the thief should also have entered the villa. , began the theft operation.


    But as soon as Hector Jamie brought people into the basement, his cell phone started ringing crazily.


    Hector Jamie, who found out that it was the three thieves who called him, was puzzled because he didn''t have this step in the plan because he didn''t know what happened. At the same time, he was worried that the law enforcement department had caught the three thieves and took them. The phone was fishing, so Hector Jamie didn��t dare to answer it.


    ?Hector Jamie did not kill Henry and his son immediately, but took them to a backup location that only he knew, preparing to wait until tomorrow to figure out the situation.


    ?Then the next day, Hector Jamie watched on TV and saw the major news media in Las Vegas reporting overwhelmingly the news that everyone in the villa had died.


    ��Iona has always been responsible for the drugging, because she needed to do it that night, so I didn��t ask carefully.��


    Speaking of this, Hector Jamie��s eyes widened and he said with shock:


    ��But I didn��t expect that this woman Iona is a lunatic! In order to avenge her boyfriend, she actually drugged and killed everyone in the villa!��


    After hearing the news that everyone in the villa had died, Hector Jamie, who only wanted money, sat down on the ground and was at a loss.


    After giving himself a few hard slaps, Hector Jamie managed to calm down.


    Because of fear and the fact that kidnapping and murder are two different things, Hector Jamie did not kill Belinda and Henry, mother and son, but he did not dare to let them go, so he tied them together to fight for life and death. Leaving it to God to decide, I quickly returned to Portland, Oregon...


    ?Hector Jamie didn��t speak very fast. More than two hours had passed since the interrogation ended, and the time had reached 3:30 that afternoon.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ??Roan and Chenelle left the interrogation room and walked into the nearby monitoring room. Michelle gave them two Big Mac burgers and said with a smile:


    ��Winslow just called me and Mona and said that the mother and son Belinda and Henry have been found in Las Vegas. Apart from malnutrition and poor mental state, they have no other problems.


    Hector Jamie has explained almost everything here. It seems that this case is almost over. "


    ??Luo An slowly tore off the packaging on the burger, looked at Hector Jamie lying on the table in the surveillance video, and smiled:


    ��The end? I��m afraid Mr. Hector Jamie hasn��t gotten us to the last step yet.��


    ?Michelle was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Chenille sneered, looked at the surveillance screen in front of her, and took a big bite of the burger.

 Chapter 456： the real truth of the case

    Chapter 456 The real truth of the case��Part 1


    ? Portland FBI Division, a surveillance room temporarily borrowed by the Special Investigation Team.


    Seeing Chenelle and Luo An��s faces turned cold after taking a big bite of burger, Michelle was a little confused:


    ��Luo An, I don��t understand what you mean.��


    Luo An did not explain immediately, but took out his mobile phone and called Lacey.


    ��I��m Lacey.��


    ?Lacie in Las Vegas was working with Winslow on the situation of Henry and his son. When she received a call from Roan, she was a little confused:


    "What''s up?"


    ?Luo An said without any nonsense:


    ��You now go to the Krista family��s manor immediately and investigate the situation when Hector Jamie was working as a gardener there.��


    Lacie didn��t know why, but she immediately nodded in agreement, and then asked:


    ��Winslow with me?��


    "No."


    ??Roan shook his head, motioned for Lacey to hand the phone to Winslow, and then said:


    ��Winslow, this guy Hector Jamie, said that Iona committed this crime to avenge her boyfriend.


    ?That boyfriend��s name was Fay, and he lived in the north of Las Vegas. Go and investigate his circumstances carefully. "


    ��OK.��


    Winslow had no doubts and immediately nodded in agreement. Roan and Lacey continued to talk for a few words and hung up the phone. Mona, who had been busy writing interrogation records on the computer next to her, saw this and raised her head and frowned and asked:


    ��Luo An, what happened?��


    ��It��s simple, our Mr. Hector Jamie has been lying.��


    ?Luo An finished the big burger in his hand in two bites, looked at Hector Jamie in the surveillance video, and sneered again and again.


    ?During the previous interrogation, Luo An had always turned on the "emotional perception" in his mind, and then he discovered that Hector Jamie was narrating the story.


    ?Hector said that he was only seeking money and his goal was treasure. This was half true and half false.


    ?? Iona��s boyfriend died due to coercion and overdose of medication by her eldest daughter-in-law, which is also half-truth.


    ?There is an unnamed $50 million bond in the bank, truth be told.


    ?Hector went online to look for the thief. In order to conceal his true purpose, he wrote the long list to Pietro and the three of them, telling the truth.


    Hector kidnapped Henry and his son, but he did not dare to kill him because of temporary fear, so he lied.


    ?Hector said that he was deceived by Iona, but Iona changed the drug to poison, which was a lie.


    In addition to these key nodes, in the entire story narrated by Hector Jamie, the ratio of truth to lies is almost half and half. Not only Roan, who has "emotional perception" in his mind, discovered this, but Chenille also felt it. Something is wrong.


    ??The difference is that Roan noticed exactly where Hector had lied, while Chenelle simply felt that the other person was lying, but could not figure out the specific situation.


    "damn it."


    ??Hearing this, Mona and Michelle immediately looked at Hector in the surveillance video and cursed a few times, and then asked:


    ��Luo An, what should we do next?��


    ��Of course we will investigate carefully according to the story Mr. Hector told us.��


    ?Looking at Hector Jamie who was sleeping on the interrogation table, Luo An chuckled and said:


    ��Previously, Cheniel found out that Iona went to a coffee shop in southwest Las Vegas every Wednesday night after get off work for the past six months to buy a cup of coffee to take away, but she could not find where she went.


    Michelle, you and Chenelle, set off to Las Vegas now, carefully investigate the area around the coffee shop, and be sure to find out where Iona went after buying the coffee! "


    ��No problem!�� Chenelle and Michelle nodded heavily and immediately turned around to leave. Mona raised her hand and asked:


    ��Luo An, what about me?��


    ��From now on, carefully investigate all of Hector��s whereabouts and consumption records in the past year.��


    ?Luo An crossed his arms over his chest, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice:


    "I would like to see what our Mr. Hector is hiding from us."


    After Luo An finished speaking, Hector Jamie, who was sleeping in the interrogation room, seemed to have woken up. He glanced around, raised his head, and gave a faint smile to the camera.


    ����


    The next day, Luo An, together with several temporarily borrowed detectives, escorted Hector Jamie back to Las Vegas, where the case occurred, while Mona stayed in Portland to continue searching for clues.


    Because of this investigation, the computer network in many places could not help, so for the next week, Winslow, Lacey, Chenelle and Michelle could only visit on the spot, working hard door to door. After knocking on the door and making inquiries, he finally returned to the office temporarily borrowed by the Special Investigation Team.


    ?? This is the most difficult time for the special investigation team to search for clues since its establishment. Fortunately, everyone''s hard work has not been in vain, and all the agents have found useful clues.


    ?All the agents sat down, with serious faces on their faces. Winslow was the first to speak:


    ��Team leader, you are right, Hector did lie.��


    ?According to Winslow''s investigation, the man named Faye had a sister, and it was learned from her sister that Faye had indeed pursued Iona and played sports games with Iona.


    But the relationship between the two is not good enough to be entrusted with life and death. My sister has seen Iona, and a woman��s intuition tells her sister that Iona is not a good woman, but before her sister and Iona can talk in detail, My younger brother Faye passed away due to unexpected circumstances.


    After Winslow finished speaking, Michelle looked at each other and followed closely:


    ��We found out where Iona went after she left the coffee shop.��


    The two women checked door to door for several days, and finally found a landlord in a community south of the coffee shop, and learned that Iona had rented a room there.


    After spending $1,000, the two women learned from their neighbors that every Wednesday night, the sound of a man and a woman playing would come from that house.


    The woman is Iona, but the neighbor has never seen who the man is. However, the two women played Hector''s voice to the neighbor, who said it was very similar to the man''s voice.


    After Michelle finished speaking, Chenelle added:


    ��In addition, we found Iona��s underwear and a small amount of white powder in that room.


    According to laboratory tests, the white powder was the dihydrogen trioxide and estazolam that caused death in the villa case.


    Not only that, the room showed signs of being carefully cleaned, and we couldn''t find anyone''s hair or fingerprints except for Iona''s. "


    After Michelle and Chenelle finished speaking, Mona stood up immediately and said:


    ��I found no useful clues about Hector��s whereabouts and consumption records.


    But I found out one thing. When Hector was in prison, the inmate next to him was a guy who understood psychology and entered the prison because he psychologically induced others to commit crimes. The relationship between Hector and that inmate very nice.


    After Hector was released from prison, he rented a house to live in. Not long after, the neighbor��s consumption records of that house showed that the neighbor bought a bunch of psychology books. "


    Luo An took the folder handed to him by several people, was silent for a few seconds, and concluded:


    ��So, there is a high probability that Hector and Iona are actually in a relationship, and Hector used his knowledge of psychology to control Iona and asked Iona to kill those people in the villa and commit suicide.��


    ��The possibility is very high.��


    ? Chenier and Winslow nodded solemnly. They had rich experience and had seen how religions brainwash people, and how those brainwashed believers were willing to commit suicide.


    ?Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, Mona frowned slightly and asked:


    ��But why did Hector do this? There were 26 people in the villa that night.��


    After the words fell, Lacey, who had been silent until now, stood up with a sneer and said:


    ��I found out the reason.��

    Chapter 457 The real truth of the case��Part 2


    Lacie stood up, and everyone in the room turned their attention to her.


    ��Following Roan��s guidance, I went to the old woman Krista��s family estate to investigate.��


    Lacie distributed the folders in her hands to everyone and said as she distributed them:


    ��The people in that manor have a very bad attitude. I couldn��t find any news at all in the past few days.


    ?But then I found an old chef who had worked at the manor for more than ten years and had just left the manor some time ago.


    I chatted with the old chef and learned from him that Krista, an old woman, has the same private life as Pranay O''Dell''s eldest daughter-in-law. She is older but still likes to play. "


    ??Lacie said that Hector was very handsome when he was young. Not long after he entered the manor disguised as a gardener, he was spotted by Krista.


    Not only that, Krista, an old woman, had a good relationship with Pranay Odell��s eldest daughter-in-law, so she recommended Hector to the eldest daughter-in-law.


    At this point, Lacey��s face was full of disgust, and the faces of Winslow, Michelle, Mona and Chenelle were also full of disgust.


    Luo An''s expression remained unchanged. This kind of thing was nothing among the wealthy people in the Federation. He was now paying more attention to the case itself.


    Looking down at the folders in front of him, Luo An was silent for a while, then narrowed his eyes slightly and concluded:


    ��So, Hector, this guy, wanted to pretend to be a gardener, enter Krista��s manor, steal the cross and ring, and find the treasure to make a fortune.


    ??But unexpectedly, because of his handsome appearance, he would be spotted by Krista, who is in her seventies, and she would also be recommended by Krista to Pranay O''Dell''s eldest daughter-in-law.


    Although he successfully stole the cross, he did not get the ruby ??ring, and he wanted revenge, so Hector found Iona and used emotional and psychological means to brainwash Iona, making her willing to do things for him or even commit suicide. .


    After learning about the reception, Hector made a plan to let Iona drugged and poisoned the two old women to avenge himself. Three thieves went in to steal things so that he could have a chance to seize the treasure.


    ??Hector can also put the blame entirely on Iona, who committed suicide due to brainwashing, and show that he was just an accessory, minimizing the crime and killing three birds with one stone. "


    ��Shit!��


    ��Damn guy!��


    Luo An��s analysis combined all the clues currently available to everyone. The five detectives looked very ugly and cursed after hearing this.


    After cursing for a moment, Mona suddenly thought of something, her face changed, she raised her hand and said:


    ��Everyone, we are now faced with a problem.��


    ? Winslow and Lacey turned their heads in confusion, Chenelle and Michelle quickly reacted, looked at each other and said in unison:


    "evidence!"


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Mona nodded heavily, her face becoming even more ugly:


    "Iona is dead. We have no absolute evidence that Hector brainwashed Iona and instructed her to poison her."


    Although the detectives have now figured out Hector''s lies, found Hector''s motives, and understood his plan to commit the crime, Hector Jamie can admit that he panicked, or he can admit that he and Iona''s relationship.


    ?But it was Iona who poisoned her on the night of the crime. Hector Jamie could have bitten her to death in court, saying that he had no idea Iona would do that.


    As for the brainwashing of Iona, the client has committed suicide and passed away. All the special investigation team has is indirect evidence. In court, Hector''s lawyer has many rebuttal reasons.


    Chenelle and Michelle thought faster because they knew more about the follow-up work of the case. Winslow and Lacey were not very familiar with this aspect of work, but they figured it out quickly after thinking about it, and their expressions suddenly changed. They looked extremely ugly and cursed one after another.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Next to her, Mona��s eyebrows were beating fast. She frowned and thought for a long time but couldn��t think of any good solution. Then she looked up at Luo An and put forward her own suggestion:


    ��How about we contact the Office of Legal Counsel?��


    Office of Legal Counsel, one of the agencies within the FBI.


    ??When the FBI investigation team encounters legal problems that are difficult to solve, such as the current situation of the Special Investigation Team and it is unable to accurately convict the suspect, the Office of Legal Counsel will find an appropriate solution in accordance with federal laws and regulations.


    But many times the Office of Legal Counsel is not popular.


    ??The FBI easily catches the petty thieves, but when encountering difficulties they don��t need to convict them. The FBI��s grassroots agents have their own unique solutions, such as the Great Memory Restoration Technique. When encountering major cases, many suspects are able to spend large sums of money to find well-known barristers. In order to make money and their own reputation, these well-known barristers understand federal law far better than the people in the legal counsel''s office.


    So the legal counsel��s office has always been in an awkward position. They are not needed for small cases, but they often cannot solve major cases...


    ??Luo An was holding a folder in his hand, sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and concentrating. He had thought of the difficulties encountered in the evidence before Mona, and had been thinking about countermeasures.


    ?Hearing Mona��s suggestion, Luo An opened his eyes and nodded:


    ��Michelle, please call the Legal Counsel��s Office.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Michelle got up and left to make a phone call. Chenille was about to continue talking when Roan suddenly grabbed Mona''s arm and pulled Mona, who was holding her laptop, into another room.


    ������x3


    Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey looked at each other in confusion when they saw this scene. The three people who knew the relationship between Roan and Mona didn''t know what Roan was going to do.


    A moment later, Luo An walked out of the room alone, waved his hand and said:


    ��Winslow, Lacey, you go to the holding room and bring Hector Jamie into the interrogation room.


    Chenelle, you will interrogate this guy with me later. "


    "no problem."


    ? Winslow and Chenelle stood up and nodded, and Lacey muttered:


    ��Only forty seconds, so fast.��


    ����


    Snapped-


    ??Luo An, who had black lines all over his head, picked up a folder and hit Lacey on the head hard.


    ����


    ?Wednesday, 12 noon, an interrogation room of the FBI Las Vegas branch.


    ��Good afternoon, Mr. Hector Jamie.��


    Opposite the interrogation table, Chenelle sat down, and Roan sat down on the interrogation table, looking down at Hector Jamie, and smiled:


    ��You really opened my eyes.��


    ??This sentence is Luo An''s heartfelt words. Ever since he came to this world and has seen so many cases, Hector Jamie is still the guy who makes Luo An feel difficult in the true sense.


    ??It''s not that the case is difficult to solve, but that the person has been caught and the truth has been found out, but there is no guarantee that the other party will be convicted 100% of the time. This is what makes people uncomfortable.


    Hearing Roan��s words, Hector Jamie smiled:


    ��Sorry, Leader Greenwood, I don��t understand����


    Before he finished speaking, Luo An directly threw the large frame of clues he found in front of him. Hector Jamie lowered his head and glanced a few times. The smile on his face did not disappear, but became brighter:


    ��I��m sorry, Leader Greenwood, I still don��t understand what you mean.��


    Luo An straightened up from the interrogation table, took back the folder, and said expressionlessly:


    ��No more nonsense, because you lied to us before and now the plea agreement is invalid. Do you have a problem?��


    "no problem."


    Hector Jamie shook his head and then added:


    ��I admit that I lied to you before, and I also admit that I had a relationship with Iona.


    But I really didn��t instruct Iona to kill anyone. My goal was just money. Iona made her own decision regarding the poison. I really didn��t know anything. "


    Snapped-


    ??Roan threw the folder next to Chenille, leaning on the interrogation table with both hands, looking at Hector Jamie expressionlessly, while Hector Jamie raised his head and looked at Roan with a smile.


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    ??The air in the interrogation room became increasingly oppressive. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 458： The real truth of the case

    Chapter 458 The real truth of the case��Part 2


    FBI, Las Vegas branch, an interrogation room.


    There was a knock on the door. Roan looked away from Hector Jamie, turned and walked out of the interrogation room. Michelle and two unknown men and women in suits were standing in the corridor.


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    ?Standing at the front, a white woman in a suit with a ponytail stretched out her hand towards Luo An, introduced herself with a smile:


    ��My name is Fiona and I��m from the Office of Legal Counsel.��


    "Hello."


    Stretching out his hand and shaking hands with the other party with a smile, Luo An and Michelle took Fiona and her colleagues to the office area. After a few brief greetings, Luo An gave the second person the legal aspects of the case. people.


    After checking carefully for a while, Fiona narrowed her eyes slightly and began to communicate in a low voice with her male colleague for a while, then stood up and walked to Luo An, smiling:


    ��Leader Greenwood, can you take a moment to speak?��


    "certainly."


    ??Luo An took Fiona into a nearby conference room, closed the door, poured two cups of coffee for himself and Fiona, and asked:


    ��What do you think about this case?��


    ��To be honest, if it goes to court now, the Special Investigation Team will be very disadvantaged.��


    Fiona took the coffee and thanked her, then frowned and said:


    ��Our special investigation team currently has no direct evidence to prove that Hector Jamie is the mastermind behind this case.��


    Luo An took a sip of coffee, his expression remained unchanged, and he said softly:


    ��That��s why I sent my men to find you.��


    ??If the Special Investigation Team had direct evidence now, there would be no need to call on these people in the Legal Counsel''s Office for this case.


    ��What Leader Greenwood said makes sense.��


    Fiona was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then chuckled. Then she thought about it and said that she and her colleagues had come up with three methods.


    The first step is to do nothing. Based on the evidence at hand of the special investigation team, go to court and try to convince the judge that Hector Jamie is the mastermind. This plan has the lowest success rate.


    The second method is to destroy Hector Jamie''s current "accomplice" status and use the evidence at hand to convince the judge in court that Hector Jamie is an "accomplice" in this case.


    Federal law has a strong principle of "following precedent", and Hector Jamie has been in prison before. Fiona is confident that "bad people only do bad things", saying that Hector Jamie will definitely be able to make things happen. , taking advantage of Iona''s love for him and watching her poison the reason, to convince the judge and jury.


    ??Roan''s expression remained unchanged and did not speak. This plan meant that Fiona had given up on revealing that Hector Jamie was the mastermind behind the case.


    After a few seconds of silence, Luo An asked:


    ��What is the third method?��


    Iona smiled, put down the coffee cup, and said:


    ��Respect federal law, respect Hector Jamie��s plan, but also respect the rights of the relatives of the 26 victims.��


    Roan''s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he understood the meaning of Fiona''s words.


    ?According to federal law, the special investigation team cannot tell these relatives all the details of the case, but the relatives of the 26 victims have the right to know who the murderer of their loved ones is.


    ?There are many wealthy people among those relatives, and these wealthy people always have ways to find out the truth of this case from other places.


    ??How the rich people will treat Hector Jamie who is in prison after learning the truth is not something that the special investigation team can control.


    It can only be said that in a capitalist country like the Federation, those with money can really do whatever they want.


    After thinking about this clearly, Luo An looked at Fiona in front of him and frowned slightly.


    Looking at Luo An who was silent, Fiona''s eyes flashed with light, she coughed lightly and said:


    ��Leader Greenwood, I think����


    As soon as Fiona started to speak, Luo An reached out to interrupt her, then opened the conference room door and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you for your help, Ms. Fiona, I will consider your suggestions.��


    "��OK."


    ??Fiona was taken aback for a moment, then left the conference room with a smile. Luo An briefly exchanged greetings with the two of them, and then motioned to Michelle to send them off.


    As soon as Michelle and the three walked out of this area, Luo An walked up to Lacey not far away and whispered expressionlessly:


    ��Lacie, go check on this Fiona and her colleagues.��


    "Um?"


    ??Lacie was full of doubts when she heard this. She looked up and saw Luo An''s expressionless face. Her expression changed instantly and she nodded heavily in agreement.?????��No problem, I��ll go right away.��


    ?Looking at Lacey''s back as she quickly left, Luo An crossed his arms over his chest and narrowed his eyes slightly.


    Luo An thinks that he is not a good person, and he has taken many lives in his hands since he came to this world.


    But the third suggestion Fiona made was on another level, and might lead to falling into a pit from which one could never climb out.


    ?This made Luo An start to think about whether Fiona was just giving suggestions, or she had other ideas, or there was someone behind her.


    ��Hey! Luo An!��


    ?While Luo An was deep in thought, Mona suddenly ran out of the room with her laptop in her arms and her face full of excitement:


    ��You are so awesome! How do you know...��


    ��Stop!��


    Upon seeing this, Luo An quickly reached out and covered Mona''s mouth.


    ?? After looking down at the laptop screen for a few times, Luo An grinned, turned around and returned to the interrogation room with the laptop in his arms.


    Entering the interrogation room again, Luo An asked directly without any nonsense:


    ��Hector Jamie, you admit that you had **** with Iona, right?��


    Hector Jamie looked at Roan for a moment and nodded:


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An followed up and asked:


    ��Did you have **** in the room Iona rented?��


    "I��"


    ��Don��t lie, dear Mr. Hector.��


    As soon as Hector started to speak, Roan interrupted him, staring at him closely and said:


    "You have already lied before. If you lie again this time, the judge and jury in the court may have a much worse impression of you."


    Hector was silent for a long time after hearing this, and nodded slowly:


    "Yes, we did have **** in the room Iona rented."


    "very good."


    ?Luo An smiled with satisfaction, then placed the laptop in front of Hector Jamie and said:


    ��My detectives have just found out that the diquinol trioxide and estazolam in that room were ordered on a criminal website.


    ??This criminal website is the same website that you contacted the Pietro Thief Trio, and when the buyer placed an order, the signal address showed that the orderer was in the room rented by Iona.


    What do you think about this matter? "


    ��I��m sorry, Leader Greenwood, as I said before, Iona has always been responsible for purchasing medicines, and I didn��t ask.��


    Hector Jamie��s expression remained unchanged, with a smile on his face, and he explained lightly:


    ��As for the website where Iona bought medicines, it was the same as the website where I contacted the Pietro trio, because when I contacted the Pietro trio, I did not avoid Iona.


    Iona saw this website, registered an account, and secretly placed orders for medicines behind my back. Isn��t it normal? "


    ��It��s really normal.��


    Luo An smiled slightly:


    ��That room was carefully cleaned, and we couldn��t find Iona��s computer. Maybe it was broken into a lake or burned by you, so there��s no way to prove the truth of what you said.��


    ��Wow, Captain Greenwood.��


    ?Hector Jamie smiled even more, but he shook his head and said:


    "I can sue you for defamation in court if you speak nonsense without evidence."


    ��Sue whatever you want.��


    Roan slowly leaned forward, looked at Hector condescendingly, and said:


    ��I just want to tell you one thing. That criminal website has actually been monitored by the NSA.��


    ����


    After the words fell, the smile on Hector''s face suddenly became extremely stiff, while the smile on Luo An''s face became gentler and kinder.

 Chapter 459： Key clues, successful trap, final outcome of the case

    Chapter 459 Key clues, successful trap, final outcome of the case


    ?Arsenic trioxide, an impurity-free extract commonly known as "arsenic" in the East, is an odorless, tasteless, white frosty powder.


    ? Estazolam, benzodiazepines, sedatives, and psychotropic drugs.


    These two are not items that can be bought casually. Only in the underground world can they get large quantities that can kill 26 people.


    When Mona and others were thinking about how to prove that Hector Jamie had brainwashed Iona and made Iona willingly poison her and commit suicide afterwards, Roan had been wondering where Hector Jamie was. Got these murderous things.


    Thinking of the criminal website full of ghosts and monsters, and thinking that Hector contacted the three Pietros on that website, Luo An made a bold guess. Hector probably bought the medicine on that website.


    ?After catching "employer" Hector, Mona has obtained his account, and there is no record of Hector purchasing medicines in that account.


    However, Hector Jamie kept telling Luo An that it was Iona who purchased the medicine and it had nothing to do with him. Luo An naturally focused on Iona''s computer and suspected that Hector was using Iona''s computer. Computer, log in to that website to purchase medicines.


    Hector Jamie obviously thought of this before he made the plan for this case, so the room Iona rented was completely cleaned by him, and Chenier and others could not find Iona at all. Computer.


    ��But you don��t know, this criminal website has been monitored by the NSA (Federal National Security Agency).��


    Roan did not directly say that the creator of the website was the NSA. He just looked at Hector Jamie and said with a bright smile:


    ��I don��t know whether the NSA caught a big fish or not, but I, the head of the FBI��s special investigation team, caught a little loach like you.��


    ����


    ??The smile on Hector Jamie''s face has long since disappeared. He stared at Roan for a few seconds, snorted coldly and said:


    ��Sorry, I still don��t understand what you mean, Leader Greenwood.


    ?? Even if that website has been monitored by the NSA, so what? It was Iona who bought the medicine, not me! "


    "Wow."


    ??Luo An left the interrogation table, walked to Cheniel who had been recording things, patted Cheniel on the shoulder, and said with a smile:


    ��Look at our Mr. Hector, he tells so many lies that he even believes it himself.��


    Hector Jamie looked very ugly and said word by word:


    "I did not lie!"


    ��A lie repeated a thousand times remains a lie.


    ?It may deceive some people for a while, but when the truth comes out, lies will always fail. It just depends on whether people are willing to accept it. "


    Luo An said a few words casually, then took the laptop on the interrogation table in front of him, and while typing on the keyboard slowly, he said:


    ��My agents followed my request and contacted the NSA, and obtained the account number for purchasing diclonal oxide and estazolam from the NSA.


    The computer can be destroyed, but the records in the account will always exist. The place where the account placed the order was in the room Iona rented. I have already mentioned this before, so I won��t go into details..."


    When Roan was describing this, Hector Jamie listened closely with his eyes wide open. Suddenly Roan changed the subject, looked up at Hector, and asked with a smile:


    "By the way, dear Mr. Hector, the information shows that you went to college. Did Ms. Iona go to college? I remember that the information showed that she came to Las Vegas before finishing high school. Si broke into trouble."


    Hearing Roan''s question, Hector Jamie was stunned for a few seconds. Suddenly he remembered something, his face suddenly became very ferocious, and he cursed angrily:


    ��Fu-k! Roan Greenwood! You��re just a cousin! @#��%����


    ??The curses were so fierce and loud that all the detectives outside the interrogation room changed their expressions and ran to the door of the interrogation room to check the situation in case something unexpected happened.


    ??Roan in the interrogation room showed no anger at being scolded, and the smile on his face became brighter. He liked the hysterical look of Hector Jamie when his plan failed.


    Chenille, who had been writing down things next to her, lowered her head and glanced at the words she had written, and suddenly realized: "The information shows that Iona never went to college, and the way and tone she writes English letters is different from that of Hector J. Rice is completely different!��


    Snapped-


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An smiled and snapped his fingers, and showed Cheniel the records of the purchase of two drugs, diquinotrioxide and estazolam, which Mona found in her laptop, and the purchaser''s chat with the seller when placing the order. .


    English is different from Eastern writing. Eastern writing is ideographic writing, while English is phonetic writing.


    Even ordinary people cannot understand some professional words, but through the original meaning and combination of several oriental characters, ordinary people can roughly guess what the word represents.


    But English is different. Each combination of 26 English letters into a word has a new meaning. The connections between words are different. You must write them all down to understand what the sentence is.


    This leads to the fact that even when Westerners enter society as adults, some people still have dyslexia and cannot understand what each sentence means.


    If an Oriental person cannot read when entering society, such a person will generally be considered to have intellectual problems.


    In the Western world, there are very big differences in the way people speak, write English, and grammar and vocabulary, etc., between those who have received higher education and those who have not.


    ?This is also one of the reasons why the United Kingdom looked down on the "old hats" of the Commonwealth in the past. Many people in the Commonwealth who use professional vocabulary simply don''t know what it means, let alone what it represents.


    In the laptop computer, when the buyer placed an order for the two drugs, diquinol trioxide and estazolam, the words, word structure, and tone spoken by the seller were completely unmatched by Iona, a woman who dropped out of middle school. Only Hector Jamie, a highly educated man, can tell.


    Luo An induced several times before, making Hector Jamie admit that he had had a relationship with Iona, and it was in the room rented by Iona, so Hector Jamie had already lost his relationship at this time. All excuses.


    ??If Hector Jamie had not stepped into the trap dug for him by Luo An and killed himself for not having been to that room, then Hector Jamie would still have a chance to quibble.


    ?But now, NSA clues emerged. Under Luo An''s guidance, Hector Jamie walked step by step into the trap dug for him by Luo An. The complete failure of the plan was exposed, and then he lost control of his emotions and cursed crazily.


    Papa pa pa��


    After Luo An finished explaining, Hector Jamie''s eyes turned red and he cursed even more fiercely.


    Chenelle next to her and Mona, Winslow, and Michelle in the corridor all looked at Roan with excitement and admiration, and applauded Roan.


    ��Winslow, Michelle, take this person away.��


    ?Opening the door to the interrogation room, Luo An waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to take Hector Jamie to the holding room.


    There was surveillance video throughout the interrogation process, and everything Hector Jamie said was recorded. With the evidence found by Roan and Mona, Hector Jamie had no chance to turn around no matter how much he cursed. .


    ? Winslow and Michelle escorted Hector Jamie away. Mona got her laptop back, smiled and patted Roan on the arm:


    ��Well done.��


    ��Thank you for your hard work too.��


    ?Luo An chuckled, stretched his waist, raised his hand to look at the time, and waved his hand:


    ��Everyone, the case is solved, let��s have dinner together tonight, let��s have a big meal!��


    Chenelle was smiling, and Mona was just shouting happily when Lacey suddenly walked into the room from the outside, grabbed Roan''s arm, and said with a serious face:


    ��Luo An, you guessed it right, there is something wrong with Fiona.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 460： Dinner, Fiona’s identity, the logic behind it

    Chapter 460 Dinner party, Fiona��s identity, the logic behind it


    ?8:30 pm, Las Vegas, "Joel Robuchon" restaurant.


    ??This is a Michelin three-star French restaurant that specializes in traditional French cuisine. It is particularly famous for its 16-course dinner set. Those who order it can even enjoy an extended Lincoln transfer sent by the restaurant.


    In a room deep in the restaurant, there is a long Western table. Winslow, Chenelle, Lacey, Michelle and Mona sat on both sides of the long table, chatting softly while enjoying the novelties on the table. Beautiful French cuisine.


    There were several candle lamps placed on the table beside the five people. At the other end of the long dining table, Luo An, who was wearing a suit and ties, and Lacosa O''Dell, who was wearing a red dress, sat looking at each other. There were colored scented candles in front of them. All kinds of delicious food, but neither of them had the intention to eat.


    ??Today, the makeup on Lexa O''Dell''s face was not as sharp as when they first met a few days ago, but became much gentler.


    ?Picking up the wine glass, Lacosa shook it towards Luo An and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you very much for leading the special investigation team to solve the case of our O��Dell family, Chief Greenwood.��


    ?Luo An chuckled lightly and did not answer this sentence. Instead, he picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other person, and said with a smile:


    ��There are six people in the special investigation team, and six set meals are served in the restaurant. Miss Lacosa spent a lot of money tonight, thank you.��


    The two of them clinked their wine glasses together. Lacosa laughed, raised her head and took a sip. Then she put down the wine glass, leaned back and crossed her legs. She looked at Luo An with a smile and asked:


    ��As a family member of the victim, I would like to know the details of this case. Can Team Leader Greenwood tell me some?��


    Luo An raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked:


    ��Didn��t Miss Lacosa already know?��


    ??Roan had previously asked Lacey to investigate Fiona in the Legal Counsel''s Office. As a result, Lacey found out that Fiona had close ties with the head of a certain group within the FBI''s Las Vegas branch.


    Not only that, not long after Fiona left the special investigation team, she called the team leader.


    When Luo An heard the news, he immediately understood the logic behind it.


    ??The case of the O''Dell family villa is an outright major case. As long as the murderer is identified and caught, it will be a great achievement.


    But because Lexa O''Dell felt that the murderer in this case was coming for the O''Dell family, and there was a group of intricate enemies outside the O''Dell family. She didn''t trust the local law enforcement in Las Vegas, so she called in Luo An, who was out of town, handed the case over to the special investigation team.


    From another perspective, this kind of thing is a slap in the face of the local law enforcement agencies in Las Vegas.


    But Lexa O''Dell quickly gained a foothold with her powerful methods, and Roan Greenwood also had a few thighs looking after her. Even if the local law enforcement agencies in Las Vegas were unhappy, they could only temporarily suppress their emotional choices. Wait and see what happens, and you may even secretly curse Luo An and the others for failing to solve the case.


    ??But Luo An broke their illusions, successfully led the special investigation team to detect the case, and caught the murderer.


    ??The local law enforcement department in Las Vegas was even more unhappy and frustrated when they learned about this incident, but they had no choice but to do anything. Until Luo An was stuck for a full week because he could not find the key evidence.


    This was an opportunity, and they sent Fiona.


    If Roan follows Fiona''s third suggestion and "accidentally" leaks the story of Hector Jamie''s crime to the families of the wealthy victims, once Hector Jamie is in trouble because of the incident, Death in prison, Luo An has a handle.


    ?This handle can be big or small. If someone uses it at a critical moment, it will definitely blow Luo An into disgrace.


    Even going deeper, I wonder whether the people who attacked Hector Jamie were the rich relatives of the victims; whether some people would use this excuse to persuade Luo An to do something; or whether some people He just wanted to take this opportunity to win over Luo An and make Luo An switch sides at the critical moment...


    ??Before coming to this restaurant at Lexa''s invitation tonight, Roan first called Veranith and Potente-Born and briefly talked about the matter.


    Soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus generals, this kind of thing naturally has to be left to the higher authorities to deal with.


    On the one hand, it is to ask for help, and on the other hand, it is to prove one''s abilities and reflect one''s worth to the superiors.


    ?At the same time, neither Veranith nor Potente-Byrne are fuel-efficient lamps. They will definitely get some benefits from some people in the local law enforcement department in Las Vegas.


    ??Roan is the one being targeted, and Veranith and Potente-Byrne will definitely share some of the benefits with him after the matter is resolved.


    Success in one fell swoop, Luo An likes to do this kind of thing the most. As for what Roan just said about Lexa O''Dell already knowing about the case, it was not a lie or a test.


    After all, the O''Dell family has been operating in the city of Las Vegas for several generations. The Federation is still a capitalist country. Lacosa, the current sole controller of the O''Dell family, will not be able to get information about this case if she can''t get it. It''s a lie.


    ��I do know some general information.��


    Lexa smiled and nodded, then crossed her hands and leaned her chin, looked at Luo An with her two big eyes, and laughed softly:


    ��But Team Leader Greenwood is an eyewitness to this case after all. I believe you must know something that I can��t find out.��


    ��Since you can��t find out, don��t ask. Many times it��s not good to know too much about things. No matter how high a person��s status is, this sentence is useful.��


    Roan turned a blind eye to Lacosa''s admiration and seductive gaze and chuckled:


    ��Mr. Purannai-O��Dell died not long ago, and the O��Dell family should still have a lot of things to deal with.


    I think those things are more important than getting news from me, don''t you think? "


    ?Hector Jamie��s life will definitely not be very good after entering prison. Those rich people will definitely have the means to find out the situation behind this case. This is determined by the federal system.


    As the leader of the special investigation team, Luo An had no intention of telling Lakesha too many details about the case.


    Lexa blinked and stared at Luo An for a long time, until Mona, who was not far away, narrowed her eyes slightly, then chuckled and withdrew her gaze:


    ��Well, Leader Greenwood is indeed a good person.��


    ��It��s hard to say that you are a good person, you just do what you do and what you don��t do.��


    Luo An smiled and waved his hand. Just as he was about to continue saying something, Lacosa suddenly stood up and motioned to the secretary who had been standing next to her to put on her thick woolen coat. Then she walked to Luo An and bent down. He whispered into Luo An''s ear:


    ��I have already asked someone to enter the account for the fund that was agreed upon in advance.


    ?Also, to be honest, if you weren''t too young, I might have fallen in love with you. "


    After speaking, Lacosa straightened up, looked around at everyone in the room, especially glanced at Mona a few times, then smiled and left the room with the female secretary.


    The side of his face was vaguely surrounded by the smell of perfume left by Lacosa, but Luo An didn''t pay attention to the smell, but thought about what Lacosa had just said with a strange expression.


    What do you mean he is too young? He is 26 years old this year, and Lakesha O''Dell is only 19 years old.


    ??However, recalling the various ways Lacosa tormented her eighty-year-old father, and the bald middle-aged killer from before... Luo An''s eyes narrowed slightly, as if he understood something.


    On the other side, after seeing the scene just now, Lacey swallowed the food in her mouth, tentatively approached Mona, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Mona, are you okay?��


    "What?"


    ??Mona was stunned for a moment. Only when she saw the look in Lacey''s eyes did she understand what she meant. She immediately laughed, shook her head and said:


    ��Don��t worry, I��m fine. There��s no way Luo An is interested in that woman Lakesha.��


    Lacie was full of doubts:


    ��Why?��


    ?Mona proudly puffed up her chest and said softly:


    ��Because she is too young.��


    Lacie: ������

 Chapter 461： Take stock of your harvest and head to the bar

    Chapter 461 Taking stock of the harvest and heading to the bar


    ??When you ask someone what are the characteristics of French food, they may say that the cooking skills are superb and the ingredients are rich, or they may say that they pay attention to details and emphasize dining rituals.


    But for Luo An, French food has only one characteristic: slow! The more expensive the French food, the slower it is!


    The "JoelRobuchon" restaurant is undoubtedly an excellent restaurant. Every dish Luo An tastes has a rich flavor unique to the ingredients, which is very unique and charming.


    ??The meal Corykesa ordered for everyone in the special investigation team was a 16-course dinner set menu, one for each person. They ate for nearly three hours, from 8:30 pm to 11:30 pm.


    Since drinking the stamina potion, Luo An''s appetite has become bigger and bigger, and his digestion speed has become faster and faster.


    After tasting all 16 dishes, Luo An was not only not full, but even hungrier.


    ?Others in the special investigation team, Michelle and Mona, have smaller appetites, and they did not even finish the 16 dishes.


    Lacie and Chenelle finished eating and felt a little full.


    Winslow, who was tall and strong, was not as hungry as Luo An, but he also felt lonely after eating.


    ?At 11:30 in the evening, after the dishes were finished, several people looked at each other, and finally turned their attention to Luo An.


    Lacie scratched her head and asked tentatively:


    ��Luo An, what are we going to do next?��


    ��What are you doing?��


    ??Luo An chuckled, took an empty plate, put his mobile phone in the center of the plate and pushed it to everyone, grinning:


    ��Of course, let��s calculate the gains after this case is over!��


    Before coming to Las Vegas, Lacosa O''Dell showed her sincerity and said that she was willing to pay an additional US$2 million in overtime pay to each member of the Special Investigation Team. Team leader Luo An''s overtime pay was US$300. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.


    Lacosa kept her word. The money just arrived at the account number given by Luo An, and Luo An also directly forwarded it to everyone.


    Not only that, Lacosa also funded the special investigation team with 10 million US dollars in special case handling funds. Chenelle, Winslow, Michelle, Lacey and Mona each received 1 million of this money, Luo An received 3 million, and the remaining 2 million was reserved as funds to handle other cases in the future.


    ??At the end of the case, Luo An, the leader of the special investigation team, received a total of US$6 million, and the five team members received US$3 million each. Everyone made a big profit!


    ��Luo An, I love you so much!��


    Seeing the text message sent to her by the bank on her phone, Lacey suddenly screamed with excitement. While shouting, she hugged Mona''s arm.


    ?Luo An was stunned, and Lacey smiled:


    ��If I don��t hug you, Mona will be angry if I hug you.��


    ��You hugged Mona, and I was also very angry!��


    Roan pretended to be angry, and stood up and rushed to catch Lacey. Lacey smiled and prepared to push Mona out, but unexpectedly, Mona turned her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth, and grabbed Lacey in turn.


    Lacie:? !


    After reacting, Lacey and Mona started laughing and joking together. Chenelle, who was also very excited, walked up to Luo An and expressed her gratitude with gratitude on her face.


    Luo An waved his hand and was about to speak when Winslow flushed with excitement. He walked up to Luo An and solemnly saluted Luo An as a hostage rescue team would do.


    ?? Cheniel reacted when she saw this scene, stood upright, and treated Luo An with the courtesy that the international business department would do.


    ??Michelle didn''t know much to say, she just showed a big smile to Luo An, silently made up her mind to handle the follow-up work of the case in the future, and then ran to the side to help Mona.


    Lacie:? ? !


    ?In the "emotional perception" in Luo An''s mind, Chenelle, Winslow, and Michelle''s good impressions of him all rose to the same level of golden light and warmth as Lacey!


    "Not so polite."


    ??Luo An pulled down Chenelle��s arm, then put her arm around Winslow��s shoulders and said with a smile on her face:


    ��You��d better think carefully about what gift to buy your son in the next few days!��


    "Hahaha��"


    Winslow, who was flushed, burst out laughing when he heard this. Chenelle also moved her eyes slightly and said:


    ��Luo An, I want to take a few days off and go back to see my parents.��


    Among the members of the special investigation team, Winslow is married and divorced, with a young son and an ex-wife; Lacey likes young and beautiful girls, and shows love every night; Michelle has no worldly desires and only like reading.


    As for Cheniere, after getting to know each other for such a long time, Luo An and others learned that Cheniere had a boyfriend in the past, but during a certain mission, her boyfriend was caught by the enemy and tortured to death. Although Cheniere took revenge later and killed the enemy with her own hands, it left a deep psychological shadow and completely lost the desire to find a new boyfriend. She is currently a non-marriage person and just wants to take care of her parents. , let parents enjoy their old age in peace.


    Roan agreed to Chenille without hesitation and turned to look at Mona. Lacey was having an indissoluble quarrel with Mona and Michelle.


    ��Hey, three ladies, stop making trouble.��


    ??Luo An picked up a small tomato from the dining table and lightly hit Lacey on the head. After attracting the attention of three people, Luo An waved his hand and said loudly:


    ��I��ll make the decision tomorrow and everyone will have a day off.


    There is a bar not far away. Let��s go together. We won��t come back until we get drunk tonight! "


    Hearing the word bar, Lacey''s eyes suddenly lit up and she cheered.


    ?The people did not hesitate, picked up their belongings, and immediately left the restaurant and headed to the bar.


    ?The music is loud, the lights are flashing, men and women are drinking and drinking. This is a very well-known bar in Las Vegas. It is open 24 hours a day and only serves customers who have won or lost money in the casino upstairs.


    ??Everyone in the special investigation team was very happy tonight. As expected, Lacey ran directly to a corner and discussed career lines with two young and beautiful girls, and even roped in a third girl later.


    Chenelle chatted with a female boxer who was visiting Las Vegas. After drinking a few glasses of wine, the two of them flushed, walked to a gym not far away, and began to compete with each other.


    ? Luo An initially thought that Winslow was older after all and might be more stable.


    Unexpectedly, after a few glasses of wine, Winslow walked to a booth not far away, chatted briefly with a voluptuous white woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties, and then left the bar together. Faster than Lacey.


    Luo An: ����I never thought there would be a master.��


    turned to look at Michelle. She was the only normal one. She had been drinking with Mona for a long time and had been knocked unconscious by Mona. She lay down on the booth sofa and fell asleep quietly.


    ??The remaining Mona had already drank a lot of wine. When Michelle lay down, she approached Luo An with a smile, handed the wine glass to Luo An, and asked:


    "now you."


    Luo An was still very conscious at this time. He took the wine glass and saw Mona''s flushed face. He suddenly had bad thoughts. He hugged Mona, leaned into her ear and whispered:


    ��Drinking is okay, how about we play a game?��


    Under the influence of alcohol, Mona��s thinking was a little slow and she asked doubtfully:


    "what game?"


    ��We each make a bet, and whoever loses will..."


    ?Mona��s eyes moved slightly and she nodded heavily:


    ��OK!��


    Hearing this, Luo An raised his lips slightly and reached out to pick up the wine glass on the table.


    ?The plan was beautiful, but the reality always surprised people. Mona didn��t drink much at all. Just like Michelle, she lay down on the booth sofa and fell asleep.


    Luo An was helpless. He carried the two of them upstairs and opened two rooms in the hotel. Michelle was in a separate room. He asked a waitress to help her with her clothes. Then he walked into another room and threw Mona on the bed. .


    ??Mona muttered something and turned over to continue sleeping. Luo An turned around and walked into the bathroom. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.


    Press the answer key:


    ��It��s me, Luo An.��


    ��It��s me, Jawali.��


    ??The voice of Mona��s father, Javari Evans, sounded on the phone. He asked:


    "Are you free now?"


    "Um��"


    ?Looking at the newly opened toilet, Luo An hesitated for a second and nodded:


    ��It��s convenient.��


    ?)


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 462： House Purchased by Jawali, Real Estate Investment

    Chapter 462: House purchased by Jawali, real estate investment


    ?Las Vegas, a hotel suite.


    On the other end of the phone, Mona��s father, Javari Evans, was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said speechlessly:


    ��What a bad joke.��


    ��It��s not a joke, it��s just a fact.��


    After solving the problem, Luo An washed his hands and asked:


    ��I��m calling you so late, what��s wrong?


    ??Mona just drank some wine and is sleeping now. She won''t wake up for a while. "


    ��It has nothing to do with Mona, I mainly called you.��


    On the other end of the phone, Gyawali stood on a cruise ship, looking at the dimly lit high-rise buildings in the distance, took a sip of red wine, and said in a very unhappy tone:


    ��I bought Mona a house in Los Angeles, and you guys can move there later.��


    ??Jiavari checked the current addresses of Mona and Luo An a few days ago and wanted to mail some European specialties there. It turned out that the two had been renting a house in Los Angeles.


    Jawali suddenly felt very unhappy when he learned that Luo An had made a lot of money.


    Later, when he learned about the rent of this rental house and that Luo An and Mona were splitting the rent equally, Gyawali wanted to return to the Federation on the spot and kill Luo An with an axe.


    ?But thinking that Mona��s heart was all about Luo An, Jawali had no choice but to put down the idea with a curse.


    In order to prevent Mona from "suffering" in the rental house, Gyawali directly asked an acquaintance for help and bought a villa in Mona''s name not far from the FBI branch in Los Angeles.


    Considering that both the euro and the U.S. dollar continue to depreciate, investment is king. Gyawali also bought several villas in several well-known communities in Los Angeles, waiting for the villas to appreciate in value in the future, and then sell them back to make a fortune.


    ����


    After listening to Jawali��s narration, Luo An raised his head and covered his eyes with a speechless face.


    They rented a house because both Luo An and Mona knew that they would not be in Los Angeles for a long time and there was no need to buy a house.


    ? ?The rent for the two people is split in half on the AA system. It is more because Mona wants to prove her independence. Luo An respects Mona and does not want to have a conflict with Mona in this regard. In fact, neither of them takes this matter to heart.


    ??Jawali spent money to buy a house and let Luo An and Mona live in it. Luo An didn''t feel like "taking advantage of others" because he had more money.


    ??The reason why he felt speechless was because Luo An remembered that in his previous life, starting in 2007, there was a subprime mortgage crisis in the Federation, and the entire country''s real estate collapsed. During that time, law enforcement agencies from all over the country frequently went to shovel corpses under certain buildings.


    ?Now that the timeline has officially entered 2006, Gyawali bought a large villa at this time... Luo An has already begun to calculate how much money Gyawali will lose this time.


    As for the impossibility of direct bankruptcy, Gyawali is an old fox and has become a subconscious habit. He will not put all his money in real estate.


    ?In addition, behind Gyawali is Mrs. Hanover, who is even richer.


    ??Luo An also tried to persuade Jawali in a subtle way, but Jawali blocked him indifferently. Luo An had no choice but to sigh, change the topic and ask:


    ��By the way, what��s going on with your retirement application now?��


    ��Already passed!��


    ?Speaking of this incident, Jawali laughed very happily. Although he was almost tricked to death by the mole, he finally got through this game with Luo An and others.


    ? Having worked in the CIA for so many years, Jawali is used to seeing life and death, and has also seen many guys who died halfway. Not only did he get to the end, but he could also get a pension and retire peacefully. He was quite satisfied.


    On the other end of the phone, Jawali picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, blew in the sea breeze, and said with a smile:


    "Mrs. Hanover and I have made plans to travel around the world. Mona and Caroline will be taken care of by Luo Anqi during this period."


    ����


    Roan''s eyelids twitched. He could understand that Mona was entrusted to him to take care of. What did Caroline mean?


    Suddenly, Luo An thought of something again and added:


    ��When you and Mrs. Hanover travel around the world, you must remember to bring more bodyguards.


    You have worked in the CIA for so many years, and you must have a lot of enemies. I don��t want to receive a call from Caroline again one day, saying that you are missing again. "


    "...crow''s mouth." Jawali on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes, and then he threatened Luo An by saying that if Mona was bullied, he would come back and shoot Luo An, and then hung up. Telephone.


    ??In the hotel, Luo An threw the phone aside, stretched his waist vigorously, then walked into the bedroom, briefly disposed of Mona''s clothes, and then walked into the bathroom with Mona in his arms.


    After drinking so much wine, Luo An didn��t want to be vomited all over by Mona in the middle of the night.


    ����


    The next day, all members of the special investigation team had a day off.


    Before eight o''clock in the morning, Mona woke up and opened her eyes. She wanted to wash up and call for breakfast, but as soon as she straightened up from the bed, Luo An reached out and grabbed her arm.


    "Um?"


    Mona, whose hair was disheveled and looking very lazy, turned back in confusion:


    ��What are you doing?��


    After a night of hangover, although Mona woke up, she was still a little confused and her thinking was much slower than before.


    ��What are you doing?��


    ??Last night, Mona was drunk and failed to achieve her intended purpose. Luo An, who was full of anger in the morning, dragged Mona back to bed, covered her with the quilt and grinned:


    ��What did you say I was going to do?��


    Looking at Luo An who was so close, Mona��s eyes widened instantly:


    "wait for me��"


    Before Mona could finish her words, the hands of the clock on the wall not far away slowly reached twelve noon.


    "damn it!"


    ??Mona grabbed the pillow, threw it at Luo An who walked out of the bathroom, and said viciously:


    ��Call to order! I��m starving!��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An chuckled and handed the towel to Mona, successfully receiving a roll of eyes from Mona as a reward.


    ??Mona got up and went into the shower room to wash up. Luo An walked into the living room and called the hotel waiter to order food. Then he called the members of the special investigation team one by one to briefly inquire about the situation to avoid any accidents.


    ? Michelle had already left the hotel and was currently selecting books from a small bookstore that was about to close down on a street corner in Las Vegas. She received a call from Luo An and thanked Luo An for helping her open a room last night.


    Winslow was with the woman from last night, and they were eating at a restaurant when he answered the phone.


    ?Chenelle and the female boxer are in a clinic. Last night, the two got angry during the match due to alcohol, and they are currently applying medicine in the clinic.


    As for Lacey, the one who answered the phone was not her, but a woman with a sweet voice. When he heard Lacey laughing unbridledly with four or five women on the phone, and occasionally there were some more exciting voices, Luo An hung up with an expressionless expression. Got the phone.


    There is no envy or jealousy, I just feel that it is very bad for Lacey''s health to live this kind of life for a long time.


    So Luo An decided to increase the amount of work that Lacey has to deal with tomorrow by one...three times, so that she can focus more on her work and take good care of her body.


    It didn��t take long for the hotel waiter to deliver the food to the suite. After Mona finished washing, she began to sit with Luo An and taste the special steak recommended by the waiter.


    After finishing a piece of steak, Luo An wiped his mouth and told Mona that Jawali bought a villa in Los Angeles. Mona was stunned for a moment, silent for a few seconds without saying anything, and continued to eat the food with her head down.


    After a moment, Mona suddenly raised her head and looked at Luo An. She didn��t mention anything about the villa, but asked another question:


    ��Luo An, this is Las Vegas. Have you reminded Lacey and the others not to play in the casino?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 463： Return to Los Angeles, case follow-up work assignment

    Chapter 463 Return to Los Angeles, case follow-up work assignment


    ��I warned you, don��t worry, they know what��s appropriate.��


    ?Luo An shouted down the food in his mouth and nodded with a smile.


    ?Except for Mona, the other four members of the special investigation team actually have little interest in gambling.


    There is no need to say more about Michelle. Lacey is like a hamster. She only thinks about saving money for retirement. She didn��t pay for the hotel room last night. There is no way this guy can enter the casino to play cards.


    ??Although Chenelle is not as "saving" as outrageously as Lacey, she is still busy saving money to take care of her parents and will not go into the casino.


    ? Winslow has the most mature mind, and he also has a son whom he misses from his ex-wife. He also won''t spend money randomly in the casino.


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona finished the food on the table, leaned back and patted her belly gently, took a deep breath, and asked with a smile:


    ��Now that we��re full, what should we do next?��


    Roan turned to look at the bedroom. Mona immediately crossed her hands to make an X on her chest, widened her eyes and said loudly:


    ��NO! I haven��t had a good rest yet, no!��


    ��What are you thinking about?��


    ??Luo An rolled his eyes, raised his finger and pointed to the clothes racks in the bedroom. He had just made a phone call and asked the waiter to deliver some new women''s clothing, and said:


    ��You were drunk and vomited yesterday, and you can no longer wear your clothes.


    ?These are new clothes. You change into one and we go out shopping.


    Unless something unexpected happens, if we leave Las Vegas this time, I��m afraid we won��t be back for a long time. "


    ��I love you so much, Luo An!��


    ??Mona''s eyes lit up when she heard this, she got up from the chair and kissed Luo An **** the face. Then she ran into the bedroom with a smile, closed the door and started to change clothes.


    ��What are you doing with the door closed? It��s not like you haven��t seen it before.��


    ??Looking at the bedroom door being closed, Luo An murmured in a low voice, turned to look at the scenery outside the window, and began to guess what the villa Jawali bought looked like.


    ??This is the first time Luo An has encountered this kind of thing where his father-in-law takes the initiative to buy a house for himself and Mona to live in. It feels quite strange...


    Caesar Palace Shopping Center, Fashion Show Shopping Center, Premium Outlet Shopping Center, Grand Canal Shopping Center.


    ?These are long-standing and large-scale shopping malls in Las Vegas. They have all kinds of brands and a dazzling array of products. Merchants say that almost all items from around the world can be found here.


    ?From 1:30 in the afternoon, the bright-eyed Mona took Luo An to go shopping until 9 in the evening.


    Even though the two of them ate and drank constantly, and rested in restaurants and other places, Luo An still felt that his whole body was about to collapse, not physically, but mentally.


    Because Mona has been shopping but hasn��t bought much, she wants to experience the novelty of seeing new clothes and new bags while shopping.


    The next day, on the plane from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, Mona and Lacey sat together and happily discussed yesterday''s shopping scene. Luo An sat by the window, looking at the scenery below the plane, his eyes straight and dull.


    Winslow, who was coming over, saw this scene, waved his hand and asked the stewardess for a glass of juice, patted Luo An on the shoulder and handed the juice to him, smiling:


    "Get used to it."


    ����


    ����


    Los Angeles, FBI branch building, Special Investigations Unit office area.


    ��Everyone, let��s not talk nonsense. Our first priority is to handle the follow-up of the case.��


    ?Luo An pulled up a whiteboard and gave a brief explanation of the follow-up work of the "26 Deaths in the Villa", and then distributed the folders to the detectives one by one.


    ��Huh? Wait a minute.��


    After all the folders were distributed, Lacey looked at the pile on Mona''s desk on the left, the pile on Michelle''s desk on the right, then looked at the three piles on her own desk, raised her hand and looked at Roan:


    ��Why do I have so many?��


    ��Because Cheniel took a temporary leave to go home, please do me a favor.��


    Roan pointed to the empty seat next to Winslow not far away. Chenelle''s parents had some health problems and flew home to visit their parents.


    ��I know about Chenelle��s leave.��


    ?Chenelle did not get on the plane when she returned to Los Angeles from Las Vegas, and Lacey knew about it. Mona��s doubt is that even if Chenelle��s work is given to her, there are only two stacks of folders, so why is there another stack?


    ��Oh, you said this.��


    Luo An suddenly realized and said without changing his expression:


    ��The extra pile is mine.��


    ???��


    ?Lacie tilted her head in confusion:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    ��It��s no fun, I have to go to the team leader for a meeting, and I��ll give these documents to you.��


    ??Luo An smiled and patted Lacey on the shoulder, then made a "come on" gesture towards her with both fists, then turned and walked out of the special investigation team office area.


    ����


    ??Looking at Luo An''s disappearing figure, Lacey''s eyelids twitched. Winslow next to her chuckled and asked:


    ��Lacie, did you do something to make Roan unhappy?��


    "how could I know?"


    Lacie scratched her head with pain in her cheeks and pain in her chest. Mona laughed, patted Lacey on the shoulder, and then took a few folders from Lacey to herself.


    ?Michelle and Winslow also took a few copies from themselves, and the folders in front of the four of them became evenly distributed.


    "snort."


    Lacey raised her head and snorted at Luo An''s back. She stood up and walked to the empty desk not far away. She picked up a lot of snacks that Luo An had just bought and distributed them to everyone. Then she started eating and processing the snacks. follow-up work on the case.


    Luo An, who was familiar with the detectives of the Special Investigation Team, knew what the scene in the office area would look like without even thinking about it. It was just a joke with Lacey. He walked to the door of the team leader''s office and knocked on the door, and got permission. He walked in after the sound.


    Today, team leader Potente Byrne did not sit behind his desk to process documents as usual. Instead, he stood in front of a nearby bookshelf and carefully read a case record.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he smiled:


    ��Good afternoon, sir.��


    "good afternoon."


    Potente-Bourne closed the case record, raised his head and smiled at Luo An, stretched out his hand to motion for Luo An to sit down, and said with a smile:


    ��Luo An, you really made a big splash this time.��


    Roan looked confused, Potente-Born laughed, leaned back and crossed his legs, saying:


    ��What happened at the O��Dell family mansion is no secret, and many people want to know what local law enforcement in Las Vegas will do.


    ??But I didn��t expect that the current generation of the O��Dell family would actually ask your special investigation team to handle this matter. Moreover, your special investigation team solved the case in less than two weeks, which really opened the eyes of many people. "


    ?As far as some people at the top were concerned, it didn��t take long for Luo An to solve the case before they knew what happened.


    Seeing the leisurely and effortless manner in which Luo An led the special investigation team to handle this case, many people began to be jealous of the good luck of Veranith and Potente Byrne. Why did they not have talents like Luo An? .


    Roan grinned and briefly described the investigation and handling of the case. Potente Byrne nodded repeatedly.


    ?At the end, when Roan took advantage of the information gap to dig holes and fill soil for that guy Hector Jamie, Potente Bourne clapped with a smile on his face.


    ��Oh, by the way, the head of a certain team at the FBI in Las Vegas talked to me on the phone yesterday.��


    After Roan finished narrating, Potente-Byrne brought up the matter of Fiona.


    ?But this matter is a little complicated. Someone was sent to apologize first, but it may take some time to deal with it later. Potente-Bourne motioned to Luo An not to worry.


    ?Luo An laughed when he heard this. He was not afraid of being late for a good meal. He was never in a hurry for such things.


    ��Good.��


    Potente-Bourne nodded with satisfaction, and the two continued to chat for a while. Luo An got up and left the office. Tomorrow and the next two days are Saturday and weekend. He needs to go with Mona to see the villa that Jawali bought and move into it. Home.


    Starting a new case tomorrow, searching and sorting out information...


    In addition, the Commonwealth is indeed rich in talents, especially Florida, which really does not support idle people.

    Chapter 464: Villa moving, party, news on TV


    Saturday, 9 a.m., FBI branch building in Los Angeles, a high-end community ten kilometers south.


    "Wow."


    ?According to the address left by Jawali, Luo An drove Mona to the community. He got out of the car and looked at the villa in front of him. Luo An sighed, and Mona''s eyes also lit up.


    In front of them, they saw a villa with a distinctive European style. It had two floors, a pointed roof, and the crimson roof tiles were very eye-catching in the sun.


    Enter the gate, next to the road for vehicles, there is a cobblestone path among the lush grass. Walk along the path to the door of the villa, step on the marble steps and open the door of the villa. The first thing that comes into view is the living room with high floor-to-ceiling windows. The sunlight is abundant and makes people feel relaxed.


    The internal structure of the villa combines simplicity and magnificence, with bright mirror-like ceramic tiles, gorgeous crystal chandeliers, and red and black fragrant wood furniture. It is elegant and exquisite but also comfortable. The master bedroom, study room and other rooms are equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows for viewing, and the restaurant is located in the north and south. Traffic, indoor and outdoor scenes are perfectly integrated.


    ��This villa seems a bit big.��


    ??Mona took the key and walked around carefully, with a smile on her face, but she said:


    ��It��s probably too deserted for the two of us to live here.��


    After saying that, Mona turned around and didn''t see Luo An. After searching carefully, she found Luo An in the master bedroom, squatting on the floor playing with something.


    ?Mona looked puzzled:


    ��Luo An, what are you doing?��


    ��Nothing, I just measured the size of this bed.��


    ??Luo An stood up, looked at the two-meter-five-by-two-meter big bed in the master bedroom and laughed, put his arms around Mona, pointed to the bed and said:


    ��This bed is so big. It would be too wasteful for you to sleep alone. I will help you and we will sleep together at night.��


    While staying in a hotel, Luo An and Mona lived together. But when they returned to the rental house in Los Angeles, Mona asked the two of them to sleep in separate rooms in each house. This made Luo An, who was used to sleeping with Mona in his arms at night, very unhappy, so he started fighting in this house. Villa idea.


    ??Mona rolled her eyes when she heard this, crossed her hands and made a big X on her chest:


    ��No! This bedroom is mine, and the guest room next door belongs to you, that��s it.��


    The reason why Mona has been forced to sleep in separate rooms with Luo An is mainly to keep the relationship fresh and exciting between the two. This is what she learned from Lacey.


    ?In addition, Luo An is too tossing sometimes, and Mona needs to rest herself. At the same time, she also considers Luo An''s health.


    ??Luo An blinked and did not continue to dwell on this topic. Anyway, he lived next door and he could come over at any time at night.


    "Oh, right."


    ??Mona suddenly patted her head, turned to look at Luo An with a smile, and said:


    ��We are going to live in this new villa after all. Just in case, I called the lock company before. They will be here soon and they will replace all the doors in this villa with new locks.


    I also requested that the locks in both our master bedroom and guest bedroom be changed to combination locks.


    ?While the people from the lock company haven''t arrived yet, think about your guest bedroom combination lock and what the code should be. "


    After speaking, Mona smiled and patted Luo An''s head gently, then hummed a song softly, turned around and left the master bedroom.


    ����


    Looking at Mona''s swaying back, Luo An''s face was filled with speechlessness.


    ?But he didn''t take it seriously and regarded it as a little game between the two of them.


    ??And the room was locked with a code... Luo An smiled and rubbed his hands together, which made him feel even more excited.


    Behind the kitchen on the first floor of the villa, there is a small European-style arched corridor, which leads directly to the garage and warehouse. Luo An and Mona thought it was empty and empty, but they did not expect that there were two brand-new Ford cars and a black one inside. A white car.


    I called Jawali to inquire and found out that these two cars were also bought by Jawali.


    ?The white Ford sedan was given to Mona by Gyawali, because the car Mona was driving now was only a second-hand car worth less than 5,000 US dollars, and Gyawali really couldn''t stand it.


    As for the black Ford sedan, Gyawali said on the phone:


    "Luo An, it''s okay if you want to drive that car. But you have to pay me the money to buy that car first. It''s not expensive, it''s only 150,000 US dollars."


    Snapped-


    ??Luo An hung up the phone directly. He was suddenly deafened just now. He couldn''t hear clearly what Jawali said specifically. He only knew that Jawali said that he drove the car.


    Upon seeing this, Mona threw a pair of hygiene **** to Luo An, pinched Luo An''s arm lightly, then took out her phone, pressed the button, and said:


    ��You can come over now.��


    ��Okay, let��s go!��


    On the other end of the phone was the moving company that the two had contacted before. Although Luo An and Mona had only arrived in Los Angeles not long ago, they had already accumulated a lot of various things.


    ?Especially for Mona, her clothes fit into two large wardrobes and occupied one of the two wardrobes in Luo An''s room.


    ??Luo An was speechless about this, because he had never seen Mona wear many of the clothes. Not long after buying them, Mona said that the style was out of date and she wanted to buy new ones, and then she repeated this behavior.


    Fortunately, Mona was only interested in new clothes and not in more expensive bags, cosmetics, etc., so Luo An didn''t say much about it. He only hoped that the cloakroom in this villa was big enough and he could hold on more. a period of time.


    ?For Franklin''s sake, the moving company took care of everything for Roan and Mona before two o''clock in the afternoon.


    According to federal custom, moving into a new home requires a party.


    At eight o''clock in the evening, the queue started. There were not too many people. Amidst the cheerful music, a group of people gathered in twos and threes to drink and chat. Luo An and Mona, as the hosts of the party, held wine glasses and chatted between men and women.


    Together with several male detectives from the Trace Inspection Section, they chatted about the anecdotes they encountered in several cases. Everyone laughed. Luo An took the wine glass and was about to go to the kitchen to get ice cubes. At this moment, someone in the room The music was suddenly turned off.


    ??Everyone turned to look at the place where the music was turned off, and found that the man was Agent Tony from the Trace Inspection Section. Agent Tony laughed, pointed to the TV in the living room, and said:


    ��Guys, look who��s in the news again?��


    ?Everyone turned their attention to the TV playing in the living room, where a blonde female host said with a smile:


    ����FBI��s Chief Roan Greenwood successfully led the special investigation team to solve the sensational murder case at the O��Dell family villa and caught the real murderer����


    "oh-"


    "Luo An! Luo An! Luo An!"


    ��Yeah!��


    Papa pa pa��


    ?All the guests turned their attention to Luo An, and loud cheers, whistles and applause suddenly erupted in the living room of the villa.


    "Thanks."


    Luo An smiled, raised his glass, and said loudly:


    ��This is not my fault alone. The successful detection of the case is inseparable from the efforts of everyone in the special investigation team. Thank you all.


    ?In addition, the barbecue will be grilled soon, beer, red wine, champagne, and all kinds of wine are ready. Everyone will not come home until they are drunk tonight! "


    ��Ohhh������


    After Luo An finished speaking, all the guests raised their glasses and said loudly with smiles on their faces:


    ��You won��t come home until you��re drunk!��


    �O


    ??Lacie suddenly opened a bottle of champagne, and the wine suddenly splashed onto the people around her. Amidst the screams, laughter and curses, the joyful atmosphere in the living room of the villa became even more intense.

 Chapter 465： Taking stock of all gains, tax issues, new cases

    Chapter 465: Taking stock of all harvests, tax issues, new cases


    On Sunday morning, Mona wore a white shirt by Luo An on her upper body, with her long and white thighs bare underneath, wearing furry slippers, smiling, humming music while making breakfast.


    ? Luo An was sitting at the dining table, yawning and tapping on the laptop in front of him.


    ??Mona put the prepared sandwich, omelette and milk breakfast on the dining table, sat opposite Luo An and asked while eating:


    "What are you doing?"


    After taking the breakfast, Luo An thanked him softly, and then replied:


    ��I��m sorting out my current assets. It��s almost time to pay my annual taxes.��


    When talking about the issue of paying taxes, Luo An couldn''t help but frown slightly and stretched out his hand to rub his temples.


    ?On the Internet in the far East, someone listed several suicide attempts in the world:


    The East is promoting independence, the federal government is evading taxes, Mexico is banning independence, and the bear country is taking hostages.


    April 15 is an important date for federal taxpayers. They need to file their personal income tax returns and pay the corresponding taxes before this date. These taxes include payroll income taxes, self-employment taxes, investment taxes, etc. Earnings tax and a whole host of other taxes.


    At this time, the time has officially entered 2006, and Luo An needs to calculate his gains last year.


    In terms of fixed assets, Luo An currently owns a small apartment in New York, a Chevrolet sedan, a large villa in Boston, an orange sports car, and a Dodge Hellcat.


    ?In terms of current assets, Luo An purchased shares of three companies, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, for about US$5 million at the time of purchase, and the current value is nearly US$9 million.


    ?While in the No. 5 Investigation Team and since leading the Special Investigation Team, Luo An��s salary, bonuses, and extra gains after solving the case totaled nearly 27 million US dollars.


    ??In the case of Mona''s father, Luo An obtained a total of nearly 200 million euros from the casino and the underworld boss, which is currently in overseas accounts.


    ?In addition to these apparent gains, Luo An also obtained US$300 million in flash memory chips in the previous bank robbery, which is currently lying around in some accounts in the Cayman Islands.


    Looking at the 200 million euros won from that gambling in the computer record, and the 300 million US dollars in the chip that were not recorded in the computer, Luo An frowned slightly and whispered to himself:


    ��Sure enough, it��s better to make money faster through other ways. It��s too slow to make money seriously by solving crimes.��


    ����


    Hearing this, Mona, who was sitting opposite him, twitched her eyes and almost choked on the sandwich in her mouth.


    ? Mona currently has 40 million euros in overseas accounts. Giavari gave her 10 million U.S. dollars. The FBI��s salary, bonuses, and additional gains after solving the case totaled nearly 6 million U.S. dollars.


    Before meeting Luo An, Mona had never thought that her savings could exceed five figures. For a long time, she felt that the numbers in her account were unreal.


    Only when Luo An took the initiative and bit Luo An''s lips tightly did Mona know that this was not a dream.


    ??Mona is not a greedy person. Mona doesn��t know exactly how much money Luo An earns, and she has no interest in finding out. Anyway, it must be more than herself.


    ??But when she heard that Luo An, who was richer than herself and made money at a rate that was several times faster than anyone she knew, actually thought that she was slow in making money, Mona suddenly had black lines on her head and she couldn''t stand it at all.


    ?After finishing her portion of the sandwich in two or three bites, Mona reached out to grab Roan''s portion and took a bite.


    Luo An, who was just about to eat breakfast, was stunned for a moment, his face full of doubts:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    "snort."


    ??Mona snorted and said nothing. She didn''t know the words "pretentious" and "Versailles", but what Luo An said just now made her very unhappy, so Mona unilaterally decided that Luo An would not have breakfast today.


    Too lazy to talk to Mona, Luo An ate the omelette in several bites, drank a glass of milk, and then began to think carefully about his tax issues.


    After finishing breakfast, Luo An didn''t talk nonsense. He selectively ignored Mona who was tempting him with her big white legs. He picked up the phone and called Lexa O''Dell and John Rodriguez and asked them for some reliable information. The phone number of the accounting firm.


    For the next week, the Special Investigation Team lived from nine to five every day. He seemed very busy, but in fact he was very relaxed. Because there were no new cases and there were no urgent tasks above, Luo An had been leading the detectives to deal with the follow-up of the case in a leisurely manner. He did not arrive late or leave early, but only paddled and fished.


    Soon, it was a new Saturday, and a well-known local accounting firm in Los Angeles came up with a tax payment plan for Luo Anming��s assets.


    In the plan, the other party suppressed the amount of taxes Luo An needed to pay to a point where Luo An himself was embarrassed to see it.


    In response to this, in the accounting firm, among the two accountants who were responsible for Luo An, the bald middle-aged white man on the left said with a smile on his face:


    ��Rest assured, Mr. Greenwood, this tax avoidance scheme complies with federal law.


    Our accounting firm has always abided by laws and regulations and will never do anything that violates the law. "


    The middle-aged white man with a big belly on the right also told Luo An in a low voice with a smile on his face. Many wealthy people in the Federation "legally avoid taxes" every year. Compared with those people, Luo An is nothing. On what.


    ��OK.��


    Looking at the two thick-faced guys in front of him, Luo An showed a satisfied smile, stretched out his hand and shook hands with them:


    ��Thank you.��


    "this is what we are supposed to do."


    The two middle-aged white men reached out and shook hands with Luo An, and laughed together with Luo An.


    Driving off this street, looking in the rearview mirror, several familiar celebrities also entered the building. Luo An''s lips slightly raised. He could only say that the Federation is indeed a capitalist country, a paradise for the rich and a **** for the poor. .


    After the tax matters were settled, a stone fell on Luo An''s heart.


    That night, in the villa, there was a candlelight dinner, music and red wine, and a moment of kissing with Mona, when Luo An suddenly pressed her against the glass.


    ?Mona��s eyes widened instantly and she struggled:


    ��Luo An, let��s go to bed!��


    ��It��s okay, trust me.��


    ??Luo An bit Mona''s ear, took out a remote control and pressed it, laughing:


    ��I just discovered last night that this is a one-way glass that can be controlled remotely...��


    ����


    ����


    ?It was sunny in Los Angeles on Monday, but the mood of the special investigation team agents was a little cloudy.


    On the one hand, there is a new case, and on the other hand, the victim of this case is somewhat special.


    Chenelle has returned to the team today. Luo An waved his hand and motioned for her to distribute the information in the folder to everyone. Then Luo An said with a serious face:


    ��Everyone, the victim in today��s case is named Paul Osborne. He is 16 years old. He disappeared last night. Someone called the police early this morning and found his body.


    ?Paul��s father, named Lyndon Osborne, is the former team leader of our FBI Los Angeles branch. He retired in less than a year.


    ??We need to investigate this case carefully to determine whether the murderer is targeting Paul Osborne or his father, Lyndon Osborne. "


    ��Oh Shet!��


    ?All the agents listened carefully to Luo An''s words, but when they took the photos in the folder, they couldn''t help showing ugly expressions, and Lacey even cursed outright.


    In the photo, 16-year-old Paul Osborne looks like an animal waiting to be slaughtered. His head is down and his feet are **** and hung high. There is a long wound from his lower abdomen to his chin. This boy is directly in physics. The level opens up...

 Chapter 466： [The ex-group manager’s son was dissected after an explosion at his home

    Chapter 466 [Case of son��s dissection after explosion at former team manager��s house]


    ?Monday, at ten o''clock in the morning, on the streets of Los Angeles, an SUV was driving quickly forward on the highway.


    ? Winslow was driving the car. Sitting in the passenger seat was Lacey who was sorting out prosecutorial equipment. Luo An was sitting in the back seat of the car, sorting out the equipment while carefully looking through the documents of the case.


    ?Beside Luo An, there was also team leader Potente Byrne.


    Potente-Bourne''s face was very gloomy and he was silent for a while. He turned his head and said seriously:


    ��Luo An, thank you to the special investigation team for your hard work this time. You must catch the murderer.��


    The deceased this time was Paul, the only son of Lyndon Osborne, the former group supervisor.


    ?Linden had retired less than a year ago, and now his son was hung upside down and disemboweled. The death was very tragic. It is difficult not to think that this was the murderer''s revenge on Lyndon.


    ? Potente-Byrne and Lyndon Osborne have known each other for many years and have a good relationship. Potente was able to take the current position of team leader with Lyndon''s help.


    In addition, Potente-Byrne, as the team leader, has more things to think about.


    ?For example, will the murderer target other FBI retirees? The year Lyndon Osborne retired, many people retired with him.


    ?Even more, will the murderer��s targets include current employees, such as other team supervisors or other investigation team leaders?


    ��We��ll do our best, sir.��


    ?Luo An closed the folder and nodded. He had been thinking about why the murderer hung 16-year-old Paul upside down and disemboweled him.


    Is it simply torture, or does it have other meanings?


    Luo An also suspected that the murderer in this case was targeting Lyndon Osborne, so he planned to ask the other party for a list of people with whom the other party had a deep hatred to see if he could find anything. .


    ?Winslow drove very steadily, and it didn''t take long to arrive at Lyndon Osborne''s home.


    ??This is a very common duplex villa in Los Angeles. There are two lawns in the front and back of the villa, and there is a swing and a round table in the front corridor, which gives people a very warm feeling.


    The SUV slowly parked on the side of the road. Potente-Byrne immediately got out of the car without hesitation. Winslow and Lacey also opened the door.


    At this moment, the familiar burning sensation came again. Luo An��s head jumped sharply. He quickly reached out and took Potente Byrne��s arm, and said loudly at the same time:


    ��Something��s wrong, everyone, get back to the car quickly!��


    Winslow and Lacey twitched their brows when they heard this. The two of them, who believed in Roan in their hearts, quickly turned around and prepared to return to the SUV. Potente-Byrne subconsciously stopped and turned around.


    Boom��


    The next second, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted, orange-red flames shot up into the sky, bricks, wooden planks, and rubble flew everywhere. The villa that was full of warmth just now was instantly turned into ruins, and the cars on the entire street buzzed and screamed.


    The moment the explosion sounded, the experienced Winslow and Lacey subconsciously lowered their heads and bent down. They were not seriously injured, but were hit a few times by a few pieces of wood.


    Potente-Bourne took a step too late to get back to the car in time. He was hit hard by the blast wave and his back was hit hard by several flying bricks.


    ??The only person who was not injured was Luo An, who did not get out of the car at all, but his body was covered with glass shards. Because he was too close, the explosion shock wave blew all the windows of the SUV into pieces.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Potente-Bourne, whose clothes and hair were covered in dust, didn''t care about the pain coming from his back. While cursing, he quickly got up from the ground, turned around and ran towards the villa.


    ?At this time, the second floor of the villa has disappeared, leaving only the first floor of the villa burning with blazing flames. Black explosion traces and gray smoke are the only things left here.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ?Winslow and Lacey, who were also covered in dust, quickly got up from the ground and looked ugly when they saw this scene.


    ? Seeing Potente Byrne running towards the villa regardless of the possibility of a second explosion, Winslow and Lacey tried to catch up. Roan quickly jumped out of the car, grabbed the two of them, and said quickly:


    ��Lessie, call the ambulance, trace inspection unit, and counter-improvised explosive device unit and ask them to hurry up and come to the scene as quickly as possible!


    Winslow, please maintain order at the scene and don��t let irrelevant people enter the scene. In addition, carefully observe the people at the scene and arrest the suspicious ones on the spot! "


    The sudden explosion startled everyone. A number of cars parked on the street honked their horns indiscriminately. Many passersby shouted to God and came over. Some people took out their phones and called 911. Considering that the cause of the explosion is currently unknown, but the murderer who caused the explosion is likely to come to the scene of the crime to view his masterpiece, Luo An asked the more experienced Winslow to maintain order.


    "clear!"


    ??Lacie nodded heavily and took out her cell phone. Winslow instantly understood what Luo An meant, turned around and ran to stop those who wanted to approach the scene.


    The two of them started to take action, and Luo An quickly ran towards the burning villa.


    Luo An, who has a keen sense of smell, not only smelled the smell of burning wood here, but also smelled an indescribable smell of barbecue.


    Considering that before coming here with Potente-Byrne, Roan had called Linden, and the other party said that he and his wife were at home. It goes without saying what the smell of barbecue means.


    As for Potente Byrne, Luo An just wants to get him out of the villa first. The former team leader has most likely died in the explosion, and Luo An doesn''t want to find that the team leader also died in this.


    ��Sir!��


    ?? Lifting his leg and stepping over a broken arm burning with flames, Luo An''s eyes twitched and he quickly ran to Potente Byrne and took his arm:


    ��It��s too dangerous here!��


    "fine!"


    Potente Byrne shook his head, his expression extremely ugly. He walked quickly among the ruins, rummaged for a while, and finally found part of the former team director Lyndon Osborne... under a collapsed board.


    As for Lyndon Osborne��s wife, they were scattered on the walls and floors around Potente Bourne.


    ?While Potente-Byrne was rummaging around, Roan also found a smashed laptop under a burning board.


    ?? After a brief look at the hard drive and found that it was fine, Luo An put the computer away and prepared to go back and ask Mona to investigate the situation in the computer.


    ����


    ?Ten minutes later, the LAPD, Los Angeles Fire Department, FBI Trace Inspection Section, FBI Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Unit and others all arrived at the scene.


    ??While the fire brigade was using tools to extinguish the fire, the all-pervasive group of reporters in Los Angeles also came here after hearing the news, holding microphones and cameras to record the scene.


    Potente Byrne, the team leader, took a look at the ruins of the villa, took a deep breath, patted Luo An on the shoulder and handed the scene to him. Then, without cleaning up the dust on his body, he walked directly to the group of reporters and answered expressionlessly. cause their problems.


    ��It��s been such an eventful winter...��


    ?Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Luo An rubbed his temples. His son was disemboweled and his father and mother were blown up. There was no need to guess now. The murderer came for the Linden family.


    ?Seeing several agents from the counter-improvised explosive devices department walking out with a bunch of things, Luo An quickly stepped forward and asked:


    ��What��s inside this? Has the cause of the explosion been found?��


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    The detective from the counter-improvised explosive device department headed by ? nodded and explained:


    ��We found fragments of semtin, traces of batteries and electrical circuits at the site.


    ??This bomb is detonated using a radio frequency signal. When the explosion occurs, the murderer will never be too far away from the villa. "


    ??The detective went on to say that judging from the layout of the villa, the explosion occurred in Paul''s room. When the explosion occurred, the distance between the two victims and the bomb was definitely not more than 1.5 meters.


    ��OK.��


    Luo An nodded and was about to continue asking, when an agent from the Trace Inspection Section suddenly came over:


    ��Captain Greenwood, we have found some items that may be able to help with this case.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 467： Discovery at the crime scene, direction of investigation, lines of inquiry

    Chapter 467: Discovery at the crime scene, investigation direction, clues


    ?Taking the box handed over by the Trace Inspection Section agent, Luo An found a half-burned diary, a dusty handheld video recorder, a computer hard drive linked to home surveillance, and some other miscellaneous items.


    ��Good, thank you for your hard work.��


    Luo An nodded, patted the agent from the Trace Inspection Section on the shoulder, and then pointed to Lacey not far away, indicating that the agent would hand over some of the things inside to her, while the rest would be handed over to the Trace Inspection Section as usual. deal with.


    Half an hour later, the bodies of the two victims were cleaned up and taken away. Nothing else was found at the scene, and Luo An and others drove away.


    When assigning tasks before, Roan led Winslow and Lacey to Linden''s house, planning to ask Linden for information.


    ? Cheniel, Mona and Michelle were sent by Luo An to the location where the death of the 16-year-old boy Paul occurred.


    Unlike Luo An and the others who encountered a sudden explosion, Chenier and the others completed their investigation smoothly and returned to the special investigation team before Luo An and the others.


    After learning about the explosion, Mona, who had been waiting for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the clothes of Luo An and the others were only a little dirty and had a lot of dust on them, but their bodies were not harmed.


    ?Handing the electronic items found at the explosion site to Mona, Luo An entered the team leader''s office, simply changed into a new coat, then walked to the whiteboard at the front of the office area with a pen, looked at Chenier, and asked:


    ��How is your investigation going?��


    Chenelle stood up, frowned and replied:


    ��We found a lot at the scene of Paul��s death.��


    The scene of Paul''s death was in a long-abandoned tire factory in northwest Los Angeles.


    ?According to the investigation of the Trace Inspection Department, Paul had marks on the back of his head that he had been hit with a heavy object, and the tool was also found, which was a **** hammer in the corner of the crime scene.


    There was a needle hole in Paul''s right arm. When the autopsy department performed an autopsy, it was discovered that Paul had been anesthetized before his death.


    ?At the same time, there were obvious signs of struggle where the opponent��s feet were tied and hung, indicating that Paul was still conscious at the time.


    When Lacey heard this, she frowned and asked:


    "You mean to say that Paul was still conscious when he was disemboweled by his murderers?"


    ? Chenier nodded solemnly:


    ��This possibility is very high.��


    ��sonof is better than eating.��


    "damn it."


    ? Winslow and Lacey Wen heard this and cursed a few times with ugly faces.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and then asked:


    ��Are there any other discoveries?��


    "nothing now."


    Chenelle shook her head. The murderer was very careful. No footprints or fingerprints were found at the crime scene, and there was no surveillance in the nearby area.


    ??The reporter of this case was a homeless man who continued to scavenge in the area. The person was startled by the hanging corpse, but no other suspicious people or suspicious vehicles were found.


    As for Paul, he went out with some friends the day before yesterday and suddenly disappeared on his way home in the evening. Those friends had no clues. Lyndon and his wife immediately called the police and also contacted the FBI.


    But there was no surveillance at the location where Paul disappeared, and there were no witnesses nearby, so neither the FBI nor the LAPD found anything.


    It wasn��t until yesterday when they received a call from the homeless man that the police found the missing Paul.


    ��OK.��


    Luo An turned around and posted the photos of Lyndon, Lyndon''s wife, and son Paul at the top of the whiteboard, and then wrote the cause of their death below the three, "bomb" and "disembowelment." .


    After finishing writing, Luo An threw the whiteboard pen aside and said sternly:


    ��Everyone, the murderer behind this case obviously came to the former team leader, Lyndon Osborne��s family.


    There are two main directions for our next investigation:


    First, investigate the cases that Lyndon Osborne has handled during his years working in the FBI, and identify suspects who have a deep grudge against Lyndon and are very likely to attack him. Especially those who have been released from prison in the past year, or who have experienced major changes in the past year.


    Second, the counter-IED agent told me that the bomb went off in Paul''s room.


    It is impossible for Lyndon and his wife to run to their son''s room with a bomb, so there are only two possibilities. One is that the bomb was secretly hidden in Paul''s room by the murderer, and the other is that the bomb was sent by Paul without his knowledge. , took it back by myself.


    So we will carefully investigate the surveillance of the villa before the explosion, and at the same time investigate Paul''s life experience, who he had conflicts with at school, who he had contact with, and people he had contact with on the Internet. "


    "clear!"


    Luo An��s analysis was very simple and straightforward. The detectives found no problems, so they all nodded in agreement.


    Roan first left the special investigation team and went to the office of Potente Byrne, the team leader, to explain the situation to him and asked to see all the cases that Lyndon Osborne had handled during his lifetime.


    Potente-Byrne agreed without hesitation. Roan returned to the Special Investigation Team with authority and asked Michelle to log into the FBI internal network to start investigating clues.


    ? Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey respectively went to Paul��s school, the Linden family��s neighbors and other places to conduct offline investigations.


    Luo An began to look through the diary found by the Trace Inspection Section at the crime scene.


    But unfortunately, Lyndon is a serious person. This diary does not belong to him, but to his wife. Apart from some complaints, there are no other useful clues in it.


    After pondering for a while, Luo An turned his attention to Mona. He had handed over to her the computer he had found at the crime scene and the electronic equipment found at the crime scene by the Trace Inspection Department.


    ��I did find some clues here, but they seem a bit complicated.��


    ?Mona rubbed her sore eyes, pointed at the computer on the table and said:


    ��The computer found by the Trace Inspection Section and connected to the home surveillance system recorded what happened before the explosion.��


    There was no sound from the surveillance. The footage showed that some time before the explosion, Linden��s wife had been sitting on the sofa crying. Linden��s face was full of anger, but he still hugged his wife and kept comforting her.


    Suddenly, the two of them seemed to hear something. They both looked up at the stairs and discussed for a few words. Linden and his wife walked up the stairs to the second floor and entered their son Paul''s room.


    ??The scene in the room could not be seen due to the angle of the surveillance camera. Three seconds later, the explosion occurred and the surveillance camera instantly went dark.


    After watching the surveillance, Luo An frowned slightly. Before he could speak, Mona continued:


    ��This period of monitoring is automatically covered every seven days. During these seven days, no one was found to have sneaked into the villa.


    ??In addition, the handheld video recorder is useless. It only contains a few birthday party videos and other daily videos recorded by the Linden family.


    ??But that laptop you found, I did find some interesting things in it. "


    ??Mona tapped her fingers on the keyboard, and soon a long list appeared on her computer screen.


    ?Mona pointed to the list and explained:


    ��The laptop you found belonged to Lyndon, and the list was created the second hour after the couple received news of Paul��s murder.


    I looked up the name "Miller Merman" at the top of the list. He was a notorious tycoon. Among the names behind him were assassins, intelligence traffickers, and serial murderers. The murderer, the bomber who made the bomb...are not ordinary people. "


    ��The name of a group of ��talents��.��


    Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly and said suddenly:


    ��Therefore, this list is most likely those people who hated him to the core and might have taken action against his son Paul, as Linden himself had reviewed before he was alive.��


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Mona nodded, picked up the coffee and took a sip. Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he was thinking about the names of these talents, Michelle who was not far away suddenly raised his hand and said hesitantly:


    ��Luo An, I seem to have found some clues, uh, or problems.��

 Chapter 468： The remote control distance of the bomb and the way to leave the scene

    Chapter 468 The remote control distance of the bomb and the method of leaving the scene


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    Hearing Michelle say that she had made a new discovery, Luo An quickly moved to her side:


    ��What did you find?��


    ?Michelle pointed to the screen on the computer and said:


    ��Lyndon Osborne has obviously retired, but the FBI��s internal database shows that he had a new ��document to be created�� some time ago. "


    ?The so-called "file to be created" is an investigation file that must be established in the FBI''s internal database as soon as possible according to the rules when each FBI investigation team is preparing to handle a new case.


    In other words, although Lyndon Osborne has officially retired, he still has a case under investigation.


    ?However, when Michelle opened the "file to be built", it was blank and contained nothing, so she had previously wondered whether it was a "clue" or a "problem." Maybe there was a program vulnerability in the FBI''s internal database.


    ��The likelihood of vulnerabilities is not very high.��


    ??Hearing Michelle''s question, Mona put her hands on her hips and said with pride:


    ��In the past, there were indeed many procedural loopholes in the FBI��s internal database, but since I joined the FBI, the programmers in the logistics department have continued to work overtime, and their technology has gradually improved.


    It is now almost impossible for loopholes in these basic procedures to occur. "


    ������x2


    Roan and Michelle looked at Mona speechlessly and were silent for a while. Roan signaled Mona and Michelle to continue the investigation, and he went to Potente-Bourne''s team leader''s office again.


    Seeing the new situation brought by Luo An, Potente-Bourne was also stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly and said:


    ��I don��t know about this.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he continued:


    ��The reason for the explosion may have some connection with Chief Linden��s secret investigation of this case during his lifetime.��


    "I see."


    Potente-Bourne nodded solemnly.


    ? ? Killing the former FBI team leader is not a trivial matter. The other party dares to do this. On the one hand, it shows that the murderer or the mastermind is definitely not an ordinary person. On the other hand, it also shows that the other party has a reason to kill Lyndon Osborne.


    ?Potent Bourne��s previous speculation was the same as that of Roan, who suspected that this was one of Lyndon Osborne��s enemies seeking revenge on him.


    But the new clues discovered now provide a new possibility for the two of them:


    ? It is very possible that Lyndon Osborne discovered something while secretly investigating something, or that he was discovered to be investigating and was silenced.


    Potente-Bourne pressed down Luo An��s folder and said seriously:


    ��I��ll handle this matter. I��ll let you know as soon as I find out.��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    ?Luo An nodded, then briefly narrated a few words and immediately turned around and left the team leader''s office.


    ??Walking to the door of the office, Luo An quietly glanced at Potente-Born, who was frowning and thinking behind the desk, then closed the door and walked to the elevator not far away.


    Before coming to the team leader''s office, Luo An asked Michelle to make a secret backup of the clue she discovered.


    First, it was simply a backup just in case, and second, Roan felt that something was not quite right about Potente Byrne''s condition.


    ?Potent Bourne has always given Luo An the feeling that he is cunning, steady, and has a thick face and a sinister heart.


    ?Before the explosion occurred, Potente-Byrne ran desperately towards the rubble and rummaged through it. It seemed that he was eager to find someone to save people.


    From another perspective, I wonder if Potente Byrne wanted to carry Roan on his back, rummaging around to get something.


    ??There is also the "document to be built" that Michelle found. Potente-Born, as the team leader, said that he was not aware of this matter...


    In the elevator, Luo An closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. Plan-A to Plan-99 flashed through his mind, and finally he whispered to himself:


    ��I hope my guess is wrong.��


    Ding-


    The elevator door opened, Luo An opened his eyes, and his usual kind smile appeared on his face again. He greeted the passing detectives and nodded. As soon as he walked into the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, he saw Mona holding up her mobile phone and shouting :????"Roan, Chenelle and Winslow have made a new discovery!"


    ?Luo An quickly walked to Mona:


    ��What is the specific situation?��


    ??Mona handed the phone to Luo An, and Chenelle on the other end of the phone explained:


    ��We would like to thank the agents from the Counter-Improvised Explosive Devices Unit for providing us with clues.��


    ??When dealing with the scene of a villa explosion not long ago, two detectives from the counter-improvised explosive device department determined that the bomb at the crime scene was detonated by a radio frequency signal, and said that when the bomb exploded, the distance between the remote controller and the bomb would not be too far.


    ??While Chenier and Winslow were visiting the area around the bombing scene, the counter-improvised explosive device unit completed testing of the bomb and its remote detonation device.


    The test results show that the maximum receiving signal distance of the radio frequency signal device on the bomb does not exceed 40 meters.


    ?This means that when the explosion occurred, the guy holding the remote control device was within a circle with a radius of 40 meters centered on the Lyndon Osborne Villa.


    After receiving the exact information, Chenier and Winslow immediately began to investigate what happened in the surveillance records within a 40-meter radius before and after the explosion, and carefully searched for suspicious persons.


    ?After careful investigation, the assisting community manager found no strangers or faces, but found a car that started and left the community immediately after the explosion.


    ?Chynielle and Winslow immediately began investigating the identity of the car''s owner and drove to each other''s home.


    According to the investigation, the owner of this suspicious vehicle is a male computer network after-sales service staff with a great figure. The villa belongs to a rich second generation. When the explosion occurred, the owner was dating a woman of the rich second generation for a long time. Repair computers and networks.


    ??But this lie was quickly exposed by the experienced Chenier and Winslow, because the tools in the car were not opened at all, and there was a smell of perfume that did not belong to him on the other party''s clothes.


    Under the interrogation of Winslow and Chenier, the after-sales service staff finally told the truth. He was indeed not going to repair the computer today, but the rich second generation was not at home today. He had been dating that woman for a long time and took the opportunity to go to the villa today. Went to play games with that woman.


    ��OK.��


    ?After listening to Cheniel��s narration, a flash of disdain flashed in Mona��s eyes, Michelle��s mouth curved slightly, and Luo An��s expression remained unchanged as he asked:


    ��So, this guy who likes to steal homes is not the remote-controlled bomb murderer, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Winslow��s business was on the other end of the phone. He laughed and said:


    ��It��s really not him. This guy is very timid. When he found out that Chenelle and I were FBI, our legs were immediately frightened.��


    ��The reason why my legs are weak is not necessarily because I was scared by you.��


    Luo An said casually, and Michelle then asked:


    ��What does the murderer of the remote-controlled bomb explosion have to do with this maintenance worker?��


    Winslow was slightly stunned when he heard Luo An''s words, then raised the corners of his mouth and answered Michelle''s question.


    ?While inspecting the after-sales service staff''s vehicle, Winslow found a gap among the mess of tools in the trunk of the other person''s car.


    When I asked the after-sales service staff, the other person said that he didn��t know why this was happening. This old car made all the noise except the horn. He had not opened the trunk of the car at all today.


    ? Recalling that the car happened to be within a 50-meter radius when the explosion occurred, Chenier, who was quick-minded, immediately suspected that the guy who exploded the remote-controlled bomb was most likely to have successfully entered the community by hiding in the trunk of the car.


    ??The other party''s remote-controlled bomb exploded. The explosion shocked the maintenance man. He was worried that the rich second generation would come back, so he quickly stopped, put on his clothes and drove away.


    ??The murderer who exploded the remote-controlled bomb also took this opportunity to leave the community as a matter of course.


    ��This is very likely.��


    After Winslow finished speaking, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, immediately looked at Mona, and said:


    ��Mona, check the trajectory of this car, focusing on when he was waiting for the traffic light to stop!��


    "What''s the meaning?"


    ?Michelle and Winslow didn��t react, but Mona��s eyes lit up and she nodded heavily:


    "I see!"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 469： Find the suspect, start arresting, suddenly explode

    Chapter 469 Found the suspect, started arresting, and suddenly exploded!


    ��What?��


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Winslow and Chenie were stunned.


    ?The two of them originally planned to take the old car driven by the after-sales service staff back to the FBI so that agents from the Trace Inspection Section could carefully examine the situation in the trunk of the car, and they might be able to find some useful clues.


    ��It��s not that troublesome.��


    ??While Mona was typing furiously on the keyboard, Luo An explained:


    ��While the car is driving, the murderer must not directly open the trunk and jump out. This is not only dangerous, but also easily attracts the attention of the driver and other people.


    ?So if the murderer of the remote-controlled bomb is really hiding in the trunk of that car, he has only two options:


    ?Either quietly open the trunk and leave while the car is waiting for the traffic light; or wait for the maintenance man to arrive at the home or company parking lot, then open the trunk and leave. "


    When Roan said this, Winslow and Michelle both reacted and said suddenly:


    ��Yes, the car itself has various abnormal noises, and there is also a problem with the trunk. Even if it suddenly bounces off halfway, the owner will not care.


    ??Moreover, the later plan takes a long time and has a high probability of being discovered, so the murderer will most likely choose the former plan. "


    ��That��s right.��


    Roan confirmed Winslow''s follow-up speculation. There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. Chenelle glanced at the after-sales service staff not far away who was crying with a sad face and asked:


    ��What to do with this car?��


    ��Bring back the FBI Los Angeles branch building.��


    Luo An did not hesitate and replied:


    ��Let the trace inspection department check the contents of the trunk.


    ??If we find the murderer, but the murderer refuses to admit it, as long as we find useful clues in the trunk, the other party can answer. "


    "clear."


    Chenelle nodded heavily and then hung up the phone.


    ?After the car left the community where the explosion occurred, the route it took was not complicated. Most of the intersections were monitored. Mona and Michelle worked together to quickly eliminate these intersections.


    There were three remaining intersections without surveillance cameras. Mona and Michelle checked them one by one and soon found out.


    ��Luo An, this is the second intersection without surveillance cameras eleven minutes after the explosion.��


    Mona��s fingers were flying on the keyboard, she zoomed in on the video on the computer screen and said:


    ��This is the driving recorder footage of a late-model Cadillac.��


    ?The red light turned on at the intersection ahead, and the Cadillac slowly stopped behind three taxis.


    ?The lower left corner of the driving recorder screen is the car driven by the after-sales service staff.


    ?Suddenly, the trunk door of the car slowly opened, revealing a small gap. A person squeezed out quickly, then closed the trunk, turned around and left in a leisurely manner.


    ��As expected of Los Angeles, there are plenty of luxury cars.��


    ??Mona complained, looking at the picture on the computer, Luo An frowned slightly.


    ??The good news is that Winslow and Chenelle were right, and his guess was also correct. The guy who ran out of the trunk of the car was most likely the person who exploded the remote-controlled bomb.


    The bad news is that this guy is very cautious, wearing a black hoodie, a hat and a mask. Apart from being sure that the other person is white and most likely male, no other useful information can be obtained at all.


    ��Mona, Michelle, carefully investigate the surveillance video in that area and see if you can find this guy.��


    ??Roan patted Mona and Michelle on the shoulders, then took out his mobile phone and called Lacey, asking her to go to the area for on-the-spot investigation.


    "no problem."


    After listening to Luo An��s narration, Lacey immediately nodded in agreement. At the same time, she also told the clues she had found:


    ��I was at the school where Paul went to school, and I got a message:


    Some time ago, a female classmate of Paul��s saw Paul taking a large package from a man��s hands and taking it home.


    ??The man is white, of medium build, and about 175cm tall. The female classmate couldn''t see his exact appearance, but she saw two complex tattoos on his arm.


    ??The female classmate did not ask Paul what the specific package was, but I suspected that the package was most likely the bomb. The other party deceived Paul for some unknown reason and allowed Paul to take the package home. "


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ? Luo An nodded with satisfaction, briefly told Lacey about other situations, and then hung up the phone.


    ? Half an hour later, Winslow and Chenier drove the car back to the FBI''s Los Angeles branch building. Luo An and the two of them had some simple food, and then drove together to the area where the suspect climbed out of the trunk of the car. They met up with Lacey, and the four of them began to investigate the area together.


    More than two hours later, the team of Luo An and Lacey, with the photo of the suspect wearing a black hoodie that Mona captured in the video, and two photos of $10, successfully sold a Mexican chicken taco vendor on the street. The owner learned that the other party pulled away a black car parked on the side of the road and left the area.


    As for the license plate number of the black car, the stall owner did not remember it, but he remembered that there were two black stickers on the rear window of the car.


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, told Mona this information, and asked Mona and Michelle to check the car.


    ??While Luo An was on the phone, Lacey took away two Mexican chicken tacos that the stall owner had just made.


    Stall owner: ��#%��*����


    ?With the car information, Mona quickly found the other party:


    ��Roan, that car belongs to an old couple in a neighborhood in South Los Angeles.


    ??However, the old couple rented a house some time ago, and the tenant''s name in the records was "Tony".


    I checked the other party''s true identity through the surveillance video in the nearby area. This "Tony"''s real name is "Enestone". He is 37 years old. He has just been released from prison less than half a year ago. He has served as a soldier and has a backpack on his back. He was charged with multiple crimes including violent assault and illegal possession of weapons. He had tattoos on his arms and back.


    ?In addition, there are several first-degree murder cases that are suspected to be related to him, but there is always a lack of key evidence to identify him.


    FBI internal database shows that this guy is suspected to be a killer who earns money to support himself by accepting murder orders. "


    "very good."


    ??Luo An nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to signal Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey to get in the car. Then he opened the door and got into the driver''s seat of the car and asked:


    ��Where is this Mr. Killer now?��


    ��Just in a neighborhood in South Los Angeles.��


    Ask Mona to contact the SWAT team and inform them to go to that area. After hanging up the phone, seeing that Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey all fastened their seat belts immediately, Roan grinned and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. , the SUV suddenly rushed into the street like a beast.


    ����


    ?Monday, 7 p.m., in a community in south Los Angeles.


    Because it is winter, the sun has set at this time, and the street lights on both sides of the road are lit up one after another, taking on the responsibility of lighting.


    ?Two streets diagonally across from the community, SWAT personnel carriers are in place, and everyone from the special investigation team has also arrived.


    After checking all the equipment, Luo An first looked at Mona next to him:


    ��How is the target person doing?��


    "Feel sorry."


    ??Mona shook her head and replied:


    ��I can only confirm through the surveillance footage that the other party has never left the building.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he pressed the communicator and continued to ask:


    ��Are the snipers in position? What is the target��s condition now?��


    ��Snipers are in position.��


    The SWAT team member on the other end of the contact replied:


    ��The window of the bedroom where the target person is located is blocked by obstacles.


    ?The windows in the living room were not blocked, and the target person was sitting on the sofa watching TV, but his chest and head were in the sniper blind spot. "


    ��OK.��


    Luo An nodded and stopped talking nonsense. He waved his hand and said:


    "start to act!"


    "clear!"


    As soon as the words fell, a group of SWAT team members immediately rushed out of the personnel carrier and headed to the building where the target person was located, followed closely by the heavily armed special investigation team.


    Soon, everyone divided into two teams and climbed the stairs of the building on the left and right at the same time.


    Boom��


    ?At this moment, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded in the building!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 470： Four explosions, jumping into the elevator shaft

    Chapter 470 Four explosions, jumping into the elevator shaft


    Boom��


    The SWAT team had just sealed off two stairs and an elevator inside the building when a deafening explosion suddenly sounded and the whole building seemed to shake.


    ��Are there any casualties?��


    ?Luo An quickly asked loudly about the situation of the SWAT team members, then quickly pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��Mona, where did the explosion happen?


    Sniper, what''s going on now? "


    ��The explosion location is on the fourth floor where the target person is!��


    ?Mona, who stayed outside and was responsible for surveillance video matters, frowned and quickly typed on the keyboard while replying:


    ��The target person found out about our actions through some unknown means!��


    As soon as Mona finished speaking, the sniper lying on the roof of another building continued:


    ��The explosion location is the target person��s bedroom!


    ?The scene is now obscured by smoke and obstacles, and I can��t see clearly what��s going on inside! "


    Luo An cursed in a low voice, and then ordered loudly:


    ��Comprehensive blockade of this building! The rest of the personnel, quickly go upstairs to search for the target person!��


    "clear!"


    ?A group of agents responded in unison. The SWAT agents quickly divided their forces into two teams to carry out Luo An''s order. Several agents from the special investigation team also worked in pairs to start searching for the target person.


    Luo An and Chenier were in a group. The two of them ran up the stairs quickly with weapons in hand. When they reached the third floor, Luo An suddenly grabbed Chenier and several SWAT team members and retrieved three items with them. room on the first floor.


    ??The layout of this building is somewhat similar to the layout of some university dormitories in the East. There is a long corridor inside the building, with houses for residents or families on the north and south sides.


    Chenier held the weapon and stood close to Luo An to inspect it carefully. As she walked, she asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, do you think that guy Eneston came to the third floor?��


    "possible."


    ?Hearing Cheniel��s question, Luo An replied in a low voice:


    "Enestone is a killer. It is impossible for this guy to commit suicide. The explosion just now may be that he wants to eliminate some clues, or it may be that he wants to divert our attention."


    Before this operation, Luo An had already sent someone to get the layout of this building. Through observation, he found that there was no suitable way to escape from the roof of this building. Unless the opponent dared to escape without his life, he dared not reach the eighth floor. BASE jumping.


    There are SWAT members waiting on the street. They dare to shoot if the opponent dares to jump.


    Since this road was unavailable, Luo An thought about it like a killer and found that the best way was to detonate a bomb to attract the attention of the SWAT team members, quickly run to the third or second floor, and then find a way to leave.


    But the SWAT team members had already arrived on the second floor, so the only place the other party could go was the third floor.


    After listening to the explanation, Cheniel nodded slightly. What Luo An said made sense, but there was also a problem. There were so many residents on the third floor. It was impossible to determine whether the people in each room were working or resting at home at this time.


    ??Thinking of this, Cheniel frowned slightly and asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, we...��


    Before Chenier finished speaking, Luoan''s face changed due to the early warning feeling brought by the danger sensing potion. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Chenier''s arm and pushed her to the ground. At the same time, he shouted loudly to the SWAT team members:


    ��Get down!��


    Boom��


    Boom��


    Boom��


    Boom��


    The next second, four deafening explosions suddenly erupted not far from Luo An and others. The doors of the three rooms were instantly blown to pieces. Orange-red flames and black-gray smoke and dust instantly drowned several SWAT members.


    Fortunately, Luo An warned in time, and several SWAT team members reacted quickly enough. Their clothes lying on the ground were only burned by the flames, and one team member''s head with a helmet was hit by a wooden block. Nothing serious outside.


    ��MotherFu-ker!��


    ? Chenier quickly got up from the ground, looked at the messy scene in front of her and cursed:


    ��What a madman!��


    ?? Turning to look at Luo An, he found that Luo An quickly ran to another room that was not destroyed by the bomb. He kicked open the door and rushed into the house quickly.


    Chenelle followed closely behind and hurriedly ran into the room and found Luo An standing at the door of the bathroom in this room. The wall behind the toilet had been blown open, and there was a **** hole inside. Seeing the sparks flying from time to time on the lines around the wall of the big hole, Cheniel quickly reacted, looked at Luo An with admiration, and analyzed:


    ��The fourth explosion just now turned out to be here. This is the elevator shaft. That guy Eneston is going to escape from the elevator shaft to the first floor?!��


    ��No, he should go to the underground parking lot of this building.��


    ?Luo An shook his head and pulled off a piece of sheet from the bed in the bedroom.


    ??Amid the doubtful looks of the SWAT team members and Chenelle, Luo An wrapped the bedsheets around him, pressed the communicator, and said loudly:


    ��Winslow, Lacey, take people to the underground parking lot quickly!


    ?Mona, check the surveillance video of the underground parking lot. Is there anything going on? "


    ?Winslow and Lacey quickly agreed and led the people towards the underground garage. Mona tapped the keyboard quickly with her fingers, and then said urgently:


    ��There are two surveillance cameras in the underground parking lot, and they were just smashed!��


    ��OK, I get it.��


    The sheets had been wrapped up, and Luo An turned his head to several SWAT players behind him:


    ��Hurry to the underground parking lot and remember to take the stairs.��


    Several SWAT members nodded and quickly turned around to leave. Chenelle frowned slightly:


    "What about us?"


    ��Hold on to me.��


    Luo An grinned, stretched out his left hand and grabbed Chenier''s waist. With his right hand, he shook the made sheet hard, tied the steel cable in the elevator shaft, and jumped directly to the bottom of the dark hole with Cheniel. Go down.


    ��Holyshit!��


    ��Jesus!��


    Several SWAT team members were shocked when they saw this scene. They looked at each other, said a few federal-style exclamations and curse words, and hurriedly left the room and ran down the stairs to the underground parking lot.


    ??In the dark elevator shaft, Chenelle held Luo An with a tense face. She found that she had far underestimated Luo An''s acting style and courage.


    ??The location where the elevator stopped in the underground parking lot, as well as the lift''s upper cover being opened, proved that Luo An''s guess was correct. Eneston''s escape route was indeed the underground parking lot.


    ?The rope made of bedsheets was of average quality and was quickly cut into two pieces by the elevator cable.


    ??But Luo An didn''t panic, because the moment the sheets were cut, he just arrived at the elevator with Chenelle.


    Luo An gently stepped on the roof of the elevator, threw the torn sheets aside, released his hand on Chenier''s waist, and sent her into the elevator. Then he jumped into the elevator, walked out of the elevator door and entered the underground. Parking lot, and tidying up my hair that was blown away by the falling breeze.


    ����


    After seeing this scene, Cheniel''s thoughts were in a mess. She opened her mouth and didn''t know what to say. She paused for a moment and took a deep breath, holding the weapon and observing the surroundings carefully.


    ?At this time, Winslow, Lacey and several SWAT members also rushed out from the stairs not far away on the other side.


    Without hesitation, they scattered with weapons in hand, while Winslow shouted:


    ��Look carefully at the bottom of the car and the trunk of the car! The target person is definitely here!��


    ?Hurrying forward to retrieve the weapon, Winslow was stunned for a moment when he saw Roan and Chenelle.


    ??The SWAT team members who followed Luo An and the others had not yet arrived at the underground parking lot. How could Luo An and Cheniel go downstairs so fast?


    ��You came down by the elevator?��


    Chenelle rolled her eyes, shook her head and said:


    ��No, I jumped down the elevator shaft.��


    ? Winslow: ������


    ? ? Winslow and Chenelle both looked at each other strangely during the regular meeting. Roan quickly walked to the surveillance video that Mona had said was shattered before, and looked around carefully. He suddenly pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��Mona, when will the nearest subway arrive at the nearby station?��


    ��Estimated 6 minutes left.��


    Mona on the other end of the communicator typed on the keyboard a few times, quickly answered Luo An��s question, and then asked:


    "Why do you ask?"


    Winslow and Chenelle also came over at this time. Roan pointed to the grid drain under the wall not far away and said coldly:


    ��This guy Eneston, I��m afraid he escaped from here to the subway station!��

    The building where the SWAT team, the Special Investigation Team and others are currently located belongs to the older ones. The underground parking lot, sewer pipes, and subway all have connections between them that ordinary people are unaware of.


    Roan realized this. He had been thinking about the reason why Eneston went to the underground parking lot. Judging from the two entrances and exits of the underground parking lot and several stairs and elevators, the place was a dead place.


    ??But if you focus on the drainage system of the underground parking lot, then Eneston has a good reason.


    Coupled with the route of the smashed surveillance camera discovered by Mona, as well as the traces of the grid drain in front of him being twisted and the missing screws, Luo An can be 100% sure that Eneston left the underground parking from here. field.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ��Motherfu-ker!��


    After listening to Luo An��s words, Winslow and Chenelle quickly thought of this.


    After all the SWAT team members in the underground parking lot said that they had not discovered anything, the two of them suddenly looked even worse.


    "Winslow, Lacey, take people to the nearby subway station. If there is an emergency, completely block the area."


    Luo An snorted coldly, bent down and opened the mesh drain outlet, and then said:


    ��Chenelle, you and I start from here to arrest people!��


    The space in the drain hole is not very big. Chenelle''s figure can easily enter it, and Roan can barely squeeze in. Winslow''s figure is too strong and cannot get in at all.


    "clear!"


    ? Winslow nodded heavily and quickly took Lacey and the SWAT team members to the nearby subway station.


    ?Walking along the narrow drainage opening, Luo An and Chenelle entered a sewer pipe after not walking far.


    ??Although this sewer pipe exuded an indescribable odor, under the light of the front light of the gun, Luo An and Cheniel could clearly see the traces left by someone walking in front of them.


    Chenier glanced at Luo An with admiration and pointed to the traces of sewage splashing not far away:


    ��It seems that Eneston did leave from here.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded without saying anything, and then walked forward while using the "emotional perception" in his mind to check the situation ahead.


    ? Sewer pipes extend in all directions. Luo An and Cheniel followed the traces on the ground, passed through several turns, and suddenly walked out of the sewer and arrived at a house built between several huge metal pipes.


    ??This kind of house is a maintenance room for subway workers. Chenelle quickly broke into the room and did not see Eneston. She only saw a few pieces of smelly clothes thrown on the ground.


    Obviously, this was the clothes that Eneston had prepared before. He just walked out of the sewer and quickly changed the clothes here.


    "damn it!"


    ?Chenelle stomped on the clothes on the ground, her face was very ugly. She didn''t expect Eneston to be so fast.


    Roan''s face was not angry at all, and the corners of his mouth even raised slightly. He grabbed Chenelle and walked out, saying as he walked:


    ��Stop scolding, the nearby subway station is 300 meters to the left of this house. There are still 4 minutes until the subway arrives. Let��s go there to arrest people!��


    ?? Chenier subconsciously followed Luo An and ran towards the subway station, but she still didn''t understand why Luo An judged that the other party must have gone to the subway station.


    ��I wasn��t sure before, but now I��m sure when I see these clothes.��


    Roan said that since Eneston changed his clothes, it meant that he had no intention of continuing to escape from the sewer. The reason for changing his clothes was most likely because he did not want to attract the attention of passers-by and law enforcement officers.


    ?The most popular place nearby is the subway station not far away.


    The distance of 300 meters was nothing to Luo An and Cheniel. They quickly ran to the subway platform.


    At this time, nearly a hundred people had gathered on the platform. Under the astonished eyes of passers-by, Luo An, who was smelling bad, jumped from the rails to the subway platform and walked quickly to the other side of the platform.


    Cheniere on the railway track twitched her mouth when she saw this scene. She quickly climbed onto the platform and carefully scanned every passerby around her.


    boom! boom! boom!


    "ah-"


    "Help!"


    Suddenly, three gunshots rang out not far ahead. A group of passers-by hurriedly bent down, held their heads, screamed and fled. Chenier quickly looked up to where the gunshots came from, and found that Luo An was already with a violin box. The men started fighting.


    ?Enestone, who was wearing a brown leather jacket, jeans, and glasses, looked at Luo An with shock written all over his eyes. Eneston didn''t understand how Luo An discovered him. Luo An just walked straight towards him. Not only that, Eneston secretly took out a pistol, aimed at Luo An and pulled the trigger. However, he never expected that Luo An seemed to have expected it. When it came to his movements, he actually dodged his bullets to the left in advance and rushed towards him like a cheetah.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??Enestone leaned back, quickly dodged the fist that appeared in front of him, took out a dagger to fight back, and asked with a ferocious face:


    ��Where did you come from, monster?��


    Roan grinned, dodged the flashing dagger, grabbed Eneston''s arm, and said coldly:


    ��Very well, Mr. Eneston, you now have another libel charge!��


    ?While chasing Eneston all the way, Luo An always opened up the "emotional perception" in his mind.


    ??Arrived at this subway platform, passers-by saw Luo An wearing an FBI body armor. They were curious, confused, and disgusted with his feelings.


    ??But the cold and undisguised emotion of wanting to kill Luo An was the only one holding the violin case, so Luo An immediately targeted him.


    simultaneously!


    ��������


    A cold light flashed, and the clothes on Luo An''s shoulders were instantly cut open by the dagger in Eneston''s hand. At the same time, Luo An snatched the pistol hidden in Eneston''s hand and waist, then flew up with a kick, and hit hard Kicked Eneston in the stomach.


    �O


    ?A huge force came from his belly, and Eneston flew out instantly and hit the square pillar of the subway platform hard.


    ��Don��t move! Throw away the weapon!��


    Chenier also ran here at this time. She raised her pistol and stared at Eneston, saying sternly:


    ��Put your hands behind your head! Get on the ground!��


    ��Hehehe����


    ??Enestone, who was leaning against the square pillar, spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at Chenier coldly, raised his hand to wipe the blood around his mouth, grinned a few times, and then suddenly pounced on a passerby girl not far away.


    "ah-"


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Chenelle shot directly without hesitation, hitting all three shots, but Eneston still gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and ran to the white girl with a frightened face.


    ??Enestone no longer has the idea of ??counterattack in his mind. First, because Cheniel appeared, there were two people on the opponent''s side, and he did not have an advantage in two against one.


    The second reason is because Eneston found that he could not defeat the male FBI!


    After the fight just now, Eneston discovered that the male FBI was not only stronger than him, but also had a firm hold on him. He also had no idea what the guy ate and grew up. He seemed to have an average figure, but his strength was not that great. !


    As soon as the two of them fought, Eneston was stunned by Luo An''s fist. If it weren''t for the dagger in his hand, Eneston felt that he might not be able to hold on now.


    ��Get this hostage and get out of here!��


    With a ferocious expression on his face, Eneston stretched out his right hand toward the girl''s neck. He also had a dagger in his hand. There were so many passers-by at the scene. Eneston believed that the two FBI agents in front of him would never dare to do so in front of so many people. Ignore the safety of the hostages!


    ?The next second, Eneston suddenly felt a gust of wind in his right ear, and before he could react, a familiar fist appeared in front of him.


    �O


    ??Roan moved to the girl''s side like lightning, punched Erneston **** the face, and a mouthful of blood mixed with teeth spurted out. Erneston felt his eyesight go black, and then he completely lost consciousness...


    ��Chenelle, handcuff him, and don��t forget to call an ambulance.��


    ?Handlessly catching the young girl who was so frightened that her body was limp, Luo An answered the phone that had been ringing since just now:


    "What''s wrong?"


    After finishing speaking, Lacey��s anxious voice suddenly sounded on the other end of the phone:


    ��Roan, I just received news that team leader Potente Byrne has been suspended!��


    ��??!��

 Chapter 472： A bigger secret behind the case

    Chapter 472 The bigger hidden secret behind the case


    Southern Los Angeles, a subway station platform.


    At this time, nearly a hundred passers-by stood on both sides, forming two human walls. All eyes were on the two men and women wearing FBI body armor, especially Luo An, who was on the phone.


    ??Just now, the scene where Luo An punched to the flesh, pressing down on Eneston and beating him, saw many men present with their eyes wide open in shock.


    ?The women present were more excited than the men. The image of Luo An moving quickly in front of Eneston like a cheetah and knocking him to the ground with one punch caused many women to scream.


    Looking at Luo An''s handsome face, the younger girls present wished they could take their place and become the blond woman in Luo An''s arms.


    ??The more mature women in the department present had already begun to move quietly towards Luo An and Chenille, preparing to find ways to get Luo An''s contact information.


    Chenelle: ������


    ??Luo An ignored the looks of these passers-by. He was more concerned about what Lacey had just said on the phone, and asked in a low voice with a serious face:


    ��What happened to Potente-Byrne��s suspension? Can you find out the specific circumstances?��


    ��Sorry, can��t find it.��


    ?? Lacey looked a little anxious. She had just heard this news from some people within the FBI in Los Angeles. She was sure it was true news, but she didn''t know what happened specifically.


    ?At this moment, Chenelle, who had just handcuffed Eneston, suddenly heard the phone ringing in her pocket.


    Chenelle pressed the answer button and her face instantly became serious when she heard the voice inside. Then she looked up at Luo An and said:


    ��Luo An, I��m looking for you.��


    ??Luo An frowned slightly, lowered the blond girl in his arms to the ground, walked to Chenier, and asked in a low voice:


    "who?"


    ? Chenier didn��t make a sound, she just made a mouth shape:


    ��Director.��


    When Luo An saw this, his mind suddenly became filled with thoughts, but his expression remained unchanged on the surface. He took Cheniere''s phone, coughed lightly and said:


    ��This is Luoan.��


    ��I am the director of the FBI��s Los Angeles field office.��


    ??The serious voice of a man who was not particularly unfamiliar to Luo An sounded on the other end of the phone. The branch director said directly without any nonsense:


    ��Leave the scene to the members of the special investigation team. You should return to the branch building immediately and come to my office.��


    ��Okay Director.��


    After receiving a positive reply, the branch director immediately hung up the phone. Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, handed the phone back to Cheniel, pondered for a few seconds, and whispered:


    ��Chenelle, I will **** Eneston to the hospital with Winslow and Lacey.


    Also, I need you to do something..."


    ??Luo An whispered a few words into Cheniel''s ear. Cheniel was silent for a few seconds and just nodded heavily.


    ��Good.��


    He patted Chenille on the shoulder. A few minutes later, the ambulance and Winslow and others arrived at the scene. Luo An immediately drove alone and returned to the FBI Los Angeles branch building.


    ?Nasim Hernandez, Director of the FBI Los Angeles Division, is a white male, slightly fat, 63 years old.


    ??This is not the first time Luo An has met with the branch director.


    ??During the previous investigation of the [First Lady��s Auction Bombing Case], two bombs were planted in a villa in Beverly Hills, and the branch director was also at the reception at that time (Chapter 231)


    After Luo An successfully solved the bomb crisis, the branch director took the opportunity to introduce the identities of the guests at the banquet to Luo An, and his words were full of praise for Luo An.


    Arriving at the director''s office, Luo An knocked on the door and pushed the door open after receiving permission:


    ��Good evening, Director.��


    "Good evening, come here and sit on the chair." Behind the desk, the branch director raised his head and smiled slightly, waving to Luo An, motioning for Luo An to sit on the chair in front of his desk.


    After a few simple greetings, the branch director asked directly:


    ��You have led the team to capture the murderer of the Lyndon-Osborne family, right?��


    ��Yes, Director.��


    "very good."


    ?Getting a positive reply from Luo An, the branch director nodded with satisfaction, then pulled out a folded piece of paper from his desk and handed it to Luo An, and said at the same time:


    ��Potent-Byrne��s suspension is temporary. As long as no problems are found after the review, he will return to his original position.��


    Luo An''s expression did not change when he heard this. He didn''t say anything more and silently opened the paper and looked at it.


    At the top of the paper, there is a long list of English names. Luo An roughly counted about 30 people.


    Under the names of the 30 people, there are words written by former group director Lyndon Osborne during his lifetime.


    The content in the text is not complicated. Before the former team leader Lyndon Osborne officially retired, when he was leading the handling of a certain case, the undercover agent he sent was discovered by the enemy leader for some reason and his true identity was discovered. He was brutally killed. The enemy leader was also in the FBI. During the subsequent operation, he was accidentally killed by a stray bullet.


    It happens every year that undercover agents are exposed and killed.


    ? Lyndon Osborne, as usual, apologized to the undercover relatives and offered some compensation.


    ?After sitting in the position of team leader for so many years, Lyndon Osborne has become a little indifferent and accustomed to this kind of thing.


    ?While sorting out the undercover��s lifetime information later, Lyndon Osborne suddenly discovered something not quite right.


    ? It sounds a little cruel, but for the work of undercover agents, the FBI has a "death indicator" every year after the undercover agent is discovered.


    The significance of this indicator is to use the number of undercover deaths each year to evaluate information such as the job evaluation of management personnel dispatched undercover. The indicator is assessed every six months.


    When carefully comparing the cases in which other team supervisors and other managers at the same level needed to send undercover agents, Lyndon Osborne discovered:


    For some unknown reason, an undercover agent was brutally killed after being discovered by a criminal leader who discovered his true identity, and then the leader of the criminal organization died due to various reasons, which happens every year.


    ? Lyndon Osborne didn��t think much about it at first, thinking it was just a coincidence, but after further investigation, he discovered a strange phenomenon:


    ??The number of deaths if a management personnel dispatches an undercover agent that year is still a long way from the annual "undercover death indicator" figure.


    ??Then there is a 100% chance that one of the undercover agents sent by this management staff will reveal his true identity for some reason and be killed by the criminal gang leader.


    ??Killing this undercover criminal leader will lead to his subsequent death in strange ways due to various reasons.


    On the other hand, if a managerial personnel dispatched undercover agents to die that year, the number of deaths has exceeded the "undercover death indicator."


    ??Then, 60% of the undercover agents dispatched by this management staff to a certain case will survive successfully, but 100% of the time, the undercover agent''s identity will not be exposed inexplicably.


    Lyndon-Osborne also found that these undercover death cases occurred to 1-2 management figures every year, 1-2 times, and each time was 5-6 months apart.


    Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, what are the three times?


    What''s more, the number of such cases has reached double digits and spans more than 6 years!


    Looking at the situation he found out, Lyndon Osborne''s face changed drastically, and he felt the hair standing on end all over his body.


    ??The only explanation he can think of is that there is a cautious and cunning mole within the FBI''s Los Angeles branch, who has been exposed as an undercover agent one after another, and whose status is definitely not low!


    ?After tossing and turning for a long time, Lyndon Osborne finally reported his findings to Nasim Hernandez, director of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch.


    Just in case, Lyndon Osborne secretly told Potente Byrne about the incident before reporting it to the director.


    Because Potente Byrne has a good relationship with Lyndon Osborne, Potente Byrne has been with the FBI''s Los Angeles branch for less than two years and has been operating outside the federal government before. There is no way he is involved in this case. The mastermind.


    ??If something unexpected happens to him, Lyndon Osborne also believes in Potente Byrne. He is absolutely capable of investigating the truth of this case and avenging him.


    ����


    After reading the contents of the paper, Luo An��s eyebrows were beating fast, and he had only one thought in his heart:


    The undercover business is indeed a big pitfall.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 473： The directors arrangement, Potente Burns role

    Chapter 473 The Director��s Arrangements, Potente-Byrne��s Role


    The Federation is a country that advocates individual heroism. When fighting a certain big red guy, the people of the Federation didn��t understand why that country��s agents refused to betray even after being tortured to death.


    ?Federal agents who believed that these people had been brainwashed began to study the occult that could control people''s minds, selectively ignoring the importance of faith.


    ?Due to a lack of faith and persistence and focusing more on personal interests, countless federal law enforcement personnel defect or become gangsters every year, and they cannot be traced at all.


    When the enemy is evil and ruthless, the boss may not be reliable; even if the boss is reliable, the boss''s boss may not be reliable, to be an undercover agent with a future full of uncertainty... Luo An directly stepped on this option into the trash can. .


    Putting the paper back on the desk, Director Nasim crossed his hands, looked at Luo An, and said seriously:


    ��I was also shocked at first by Lyndon Osborne��s discovery.��


    Roan''s expression did not change when he heard this. On that piece of paper, Lyndon Osborne had suggested to Director Nasim to launch an investigation into the top brass in the FBI branch building.


    But Director Nasim did not carry out this plan. Luo An figured out the reason as soon as his head turned. Compared to Linden, Director Nasim thought more about it.


    The building of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch looks like a strict barrier, but in fact it is a big sieve full of loopholes.


    ?Except for some highly confidential information, ordinary information cannot be hidden from anyone. Once a large-scale investigation is launched, I am afraid that the matter will be published in the Los Angeles News in a few hours, and the entire federal government will know about it in a day.


    With such a big scandal exposed, it is not certain whether Nasim��s position as branch director is stable.


    Director Nasim then told Luo An that he had left the matter of finding the mole to Linden for secret investigation. After all, Linden was nominally retired and it was easier to hide his true situation.


    ?But I never expected that the murderer would be so cruel, causing Linden and his wife to die directly in the explosion.


    ?Luo An was silent, he thought of some other aspects.


    ?For example, Linden was able to confirm that Potente-Byrne was not the mastermind behind this case, and Director Nasim could not have thought of it.


    ??Suspending Potente-Byrne for investigation is most likely Director Nasim''s way of protecting him.


    ??It not only allows others to draw their attention away from the relationship between Potente-Bourne and the Linden family''s death case, but also prepares for Potente-Byrne to lead the investigation of this case in the future and find the mole.


    Sure enough, Director Nasim then raised his hand to fold the paper on the table and said that Luo An would lead the special investigation team detectives to investigate this case carefully. The length of time is not important. What is important is that there must not be too many people. Attention, pay attention to your own safety at the same time, and find out the truth.


    ��I understand, Director.��


    Hearing this, Luo An grinned and nodded. He understood the meaning of Director Nasim��s words:


    Making it a priority to keep secrets and not attract attention. There is no need to rush the investigation of the case. Luo An''s level is still too low at the moment. In the future, Potente Byrne, a tall man in the management, will come out to lead them to solve the case. The current priority of the special investigation team is to ensure their own safety.


    ��Good.��


    Director Nasim nodded with satisfaction, then briefly praised Luo An''s performance some time ago, and then handed Luo An a document, which contained an opportunity to go to "Quantico" for further study.


    "And one more thing."


    Just when Luo An was about to get up and leave, Director Nasim suddenly handed Luo An another folder, indicating that Horst from the Supervision Department had been temporarily transferred to the Special Investigation Team. (Chapter 310)


    "��OK."


    ??Luo An raised his eyebrows. The man behind this case was definitely not someone from the Special Investigation Team. Horst had no need to monitor every move of the Special Investigation Team. So this person was obviously sent to do protection work.


    After all, the mastermind behind the scenes even dared to blow up Lyndon Osborne with a bomb. Who knows if the other party would attack someone in the special investigation team? Once an emergency situation occurs in the special investigation team, Horst from the Supervision Department will You can quickly contact Director Naseem for assistance.


    ??Stepping out of the director''s office, Luo An looked at the folder in his hand, brows relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.


    ??Since according to the arrangement of Director Nasim, the follow-up investigation of this case is under the responsibility of team leader Potente Byrne, Luo An is not in a hurry.


    ??At present, Luo An has led the team to catch the murderer of Lyndon Osborne, and their contributions will definitely be indispensable afterwards.


    ??Coupled with the complexity of the behind-the-scenes circumstances of this case, which involves higher-level officials than the team leader, it is naturally a good choice to wait for Potente-Byrne to come out and investigate later.


    Whether it will be a success or a failure in the future, with the FBI''s habit of searching one level at a time, it will naturally be Potente-Byrne''s business.


    ??Taking the elevator back to the Special Investigation Team, Luo An called Chenelle while changing her clothes:


    ��How��s the trial going?��


    Because he didn��t know what was going on with Director Nasim in advance and the case might be stolen, before returning to the FBI Los Angeles branch building, Roan asked Chenille and Winslow to secretly find the killer Enestone. He was sent to another hospital to prevent other investigation teams from robbing people. Chenelle also followed Roan''s instructions. After Eneston finished the operation in the hospital, she and Winslow started the interrogation work directly, without giving Eneston a chance to rest.


    ��Sorry, it��s still a little short.��


    Chenelle on the other end of the phone frowned. Eneston was not an ordinary tough talker and refused to cooperate no matter what the two of them said.


    ��OK, I��ll be there soon.��


    ?Luo An frowned slightly, picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp. Not long after, Horst from the Supervision Department came here.


    ?Luo An didn''t talk nonsense to him and took him directly to the hospital.


    ��Are you conducting an interrogation of the murderer?��


    ?Hearing what Chenelle and Winslow were doing, Horst, wearing a suit and tie with a serious face, frowned and said in a solemn voice:


    ��The director��s order is that the case will be handed over to the team leader Potente to lead the investigation afterwards.��


    ��That��s right, it��s true.��


    ? Luo An turned the steering wheel, drove the SUV into another street, and replied with a smile:


    ��But even if Potente, the team leader, begins an investigation, the first step will definitely be to interrogate Eneston, who was captured by us.


    This kind of work will definitely still be done by our special investigation team in the future. Since there is no change before and after, what are the problems with our current interrogation? "


    ����


    Horst, who had a serious face, remained silent for a few seconds because what Luo An said was very reasonable and he could not think of a reason to refute it.


    ?Luo An glanced at Horst calmly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.


    The SUV quickly arrived at the hospital where the murderer Eneston was staying. After parking the car on the side of the road, Roan gave Horst a thumbs up.


    ?Horst was the first person to sit in a car driven by Luo An for the first time, and his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.


    ?Walking into the hospital and arriving at Eneston''s ward, Chenelle and Winslow were standing at the door of the ward waiting for Roan.


    ��This is Horst from the Supervision Department.��


    ?Luo An briefly introduced the three of them to each other.


    Horst still had an expressionless and serious face, while Winslow and Chenelle''s hearts skipped a beat. The Ministry of Supervision did not represent a good role in their hearts, and they did not understand why the other party appeared here.


    Because of the special circumstances of this case, Luo An did not explain carefully to Winslow and Chenelle. He first took out his mobile phone and called Mona, asking her, Michelle and Lacey to come to the hospital, and then He opened the ward door directly and walked in.


    ��Good evening, Mr. Eneston, who was shot three times by one of my men.��


    Luo An casually took a chair and sat next to the hospital bed. He looked at Eneston who was tightly chained to the hospital bed, smiled slightly, and asked:


    ��How do you feel? Are you still used to living here?��


    ��Fu-kYou!Mohterfu-ker#%��**����


    ??Seeing Luo An''s face, Eneston''s face turned red instantly on the hospital bed, and the voice of the federal greetings suddenly echoed loudly in the room.


    ??However, because several teeth were knocked out by Luo An''s previous fist, Eneston''s speech was a bit leaky now. In addition, his accent was relatively serious, and Luo An could not hear a word of the subsequent greetings.


    ??Luo An didn''t care about the other party''s greetings. He smiled slightly and took out several photos of men from his pocket.


    ?Seeing the photo, Erneston suddenly stopped insulting and was silent for a while. He stared at Luo An fiercely and asked in a serious voice:


    "What do you want to do?"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 474： Interrogation, Killer Broker, New Corpse

    Chapter 474: Interrogation, Killer Broker, New Corpse


    Southern Los Angeles, a hospital ward.


    ?On the bed in the center of the ward, there lay a white man with many bandages on his body, a bruised nose and a swollen face, and several missing teeth.


    Beside the hospital bed, Luo An was sitting on a chair with a smile on his face. Horst from the Supervision Department crossed his arms and stood against the wall behind Luo An. Winslow and Chenelle stood directly in front of the hospital bed.


    ??Seeing the photo in Luo An''s hand, Eneston''s face instantly became very ugly.


    ??There are all men in several photos, all wearing prison uniforms. Their appearance cannot be said to be ugly, it can only be said that they have their own characteristics, and they look like each other forever.


    ??When Eneston was in prison before, he had unresolved conflicts with these people, but at that time there was another boss guarding Eneston, and Eneston was able to be released from prison smoothly.


    ??The boss who was guarding Eneston has now left the prison. Eneston is indeed very skilled, but the guys in the prison are outnumbered, and it is impossible for Eneston to be prepared for sneak attacks every minute.


    ??Once back in that prison, how long Erneston can survive will definitely become a betting game among the prison guards.


    ??These photos were found by Mona when she was investigating Eneston''s identity information. Luo An didn''t expect that they would come in handy at this time.


    ?Pouring himself a glass of water, Luo An drank it all in one gulp, then looked at Eneston with a smile and said:


    ��It looks like you don��t want to die yet.��


    ��Bullshit.��


    Erneston stared at Luo An fiercely. As a killer, he did not have much sense of worldly morality, but his life was definitely the most important thing to him. When he was alive, there was still hope, but when he died, he had nothing. .


    ��These old friends in prison, I believe you will still remember them, and I think they will also remember you.��


    Luo An threw the photos in his hand onto the hospital bed, then crossed his legs, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile:


    ��Tell me, who is the mastermind behind the order for you to kill someone?


    ?Or, you can keep your mouth shut and say nothing. Later, you can go back to this familiar prison and catch up with these old friends. "


    ?Looking at the photos on his chest, Enes looked at Luo An with blazing eyes, biting his back teeth and said:


    ����You are a really good FBI.��


    "Thank you for the compliment."


    ??Roan laughed, and Eneston killed Lyndon Osborne and his wife with a bomb, and disemboweled Lyndon''s son.


    He had also used bombs to ambush the Special Investigation Team and SWAT team before. If Luo An hadn''t reacted quickly, no one knew how many people would have died in that operation.


    ??For such a guy who was full of evil, Luo An directly eliminated the idea of ??discussing a deal with him in a soft voice. Directly presenting the facts and talking about threats was the most effective method.


    After a moment of silence, Erneston grabbed the photos, threw them all to the ground, looked at the ceiling and said:


    ��I also want to tell you who is the person behind the order, but I don��t know because I have never met that person.��


    Luo An��s expression did not change and he continued to ask:


    ��Then tell us what you know.��


    ??Enestone said that he is a traditional killer and has always made money by taking orders through traditional middlemen.


    Since he was short of money after being released from prison, Eneston found a middleman who he was familiar with and had a good reputation in the industry, and then took the order.


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction:


    ��What��s the name of this middleman?��


    ��I always call him Vincent.��


    Enestone said a name, but he did not know whether the name was true or false, and he had never cared about it before.


    Enestone then provided information such as the contact information of the other party, the location where they contacted each time, and the appearance of the other party.


    It didn��t take long for Mona, Michelle and Lacey to arrive here. With the suspect��s appearance and portrait, Mona quickly found the suspect:


    ��Sean Huffman, 39 years old, opened a private detective agency called ��Guaranteed to Meet Your Requests��.


    He is the only boss and the only employee of the detective agency. "


    ��That��s why he was named...I feel like he should work in an advertising agency.��


    Looking at the information found on Mona��s computer, Lacey complained speechlessly, while Luo An waved his hand:


    "Winslow, Lacey, Chenelle, come with me and set out to arrest people!"


    ��Understood!�� x3


    ??Looking at the figures of Luo An and the other four people setting off quickly, Horst from the Supervision Department standing aside had his eyelids trembling and his lips moved a few times, but after thinking about it, he didn''t say anything and hurriedly followed them.


    ����


    ?? Southeastern Los Angeles, a small villa community dominated by the middle class.


    The SUV quickly parked on the side of the road, Roan and Lacey quickly moved to the front door of the villa where Sean Hoffman lived, and Winslow and Chenelle moved to the back door of the villa.


    ??Both parties reached the designated position, and after three counts, Luo An suddenly raised his foot and kicked towards the front door of the villa, followed by Winslow and kicked towards the back door of the villa.


    �ء� �������ء�


    ?Two sounds of the door being kicked open were heard one after another. Lacey and Chenelle quickly rushed into the villa and shouted:


    ��FBI!��


    ��Sean Hoffman! Come out!��


    ??This villa is not big, but it is not small either. There are many rooms and there is also a basement. The four of Luo An shouted and quickly checked each room.


    ��Safety on the first floor!��


    ��The basement is safe!��


    ??Lacie followed up and shouted:


    ��There is a discovery on the second floor!��


    "What?"


    ��The target person is dead!��


    ?Hearing Lacey''s shout, Winslow and Chenelle hurried to the bedroom on the second floor.


    In the bedroom, a white man wearing a shirt and casual floral pants was shot in the center of his forehead. He was lying on the big bed with his eyes open, looking directly at Lacey, Chenelle and Winslow at the door of the bedroom.


    ��Fu-k.��


    The three of them put away their pistols. Chenille cursed in a low voice. Winslow walked to the body and looked at it carefully. He raised his head and said:


    ��We are a step too late. This guy should have been dead for two to three days.��


    Lacie nodded, turned around and asked:


    ��Where��s Luo An?��


    ��He��s in the basement.��


    Chenelle took out her cell phone to call the Trace Inspection Department while walking down the stairs with Winslow and Lacey.


    The three of them walked down the stairs into the basement, where there was a room with the walls covered with photos.


    At this time, Luo An was standing at a square desk in the center of the room. Seeing the light shining on his side, Luo An continued to organize things and asked without raising his head:


    ��What did you find?��


    ��Sean Huffman is dead.��


    Lacey briefly described the situation on the second floor, then pulled a photo off the wall. Looking at the beautiful woman in the photo with the camera behind her back, she frowned slightly:


    ��Looks like we found a stalker.��


    ��This is what a private detective does.��


    Chenelle and Winslow stepped forward to help organize the photos on the table, and Roan continued:


    "And Sean Hoffman is not an ordinary private detective. The things on the table show that he has handled many divorce cases and clients with secrets. The hush money probably made him a lot of money. "


    A flash of disdain flashed in Lacey''s eyes. She posted the photo back on the wall and asked:


    ��Roan, why don��t you feel the news that Sean Hoffman is dead?��


    ��Have guessed that this possibility is possible.��


    Before coming to this villa to arrest someone, Luo An put himself in the murderer''s shoes and thought about it.


    Killing Sean Hoffman and erasing traces of his own existence is a very cost-effective method for the murderer.


    After packing up the laptop, a lot of eavesdropping equipment and a lot of audio tapes that he found, Luo An handed one to Lacey and explained:


    ��Our trip was not fruitless. Sean Hoffman has been a private detective and killer broker for so many years. He definitely has his own unique way of storing information.


    ??This villa has no traces of being rummaged through, which means that the information is most likely still in the room.


    ??If we find and decipher this information, we should be able to know who was behind the order from Sean Hoffman and the murder of the Linden family. "


    ��Sounds like a very difficult and time-consuming job.��


    ??Lacie let out a long sigh, Winslow and Chenelle looked at each other, and they were both ready to work overtime in the next few days.


    ?Suddenly, Horst from the Supervision Department shouted at the basement door:


    ��Leader Greenwood, I have a phone number for you!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 475： Clues about the deceased, investigation, and discoveries made by the detectives

    Chapter 475: Clues to the deceased, investigation, and findings of the detectives


    Taking the mobile phone handed over by Horst from the Supervision Department, a familiar male voice suddenly sounded on the other end of the phone:


    ��It��s me, Potente-Byrne.��


    ��Good evening, sir.��


    ?Luo An glanced at Horst calmly and asked with a smile:


    ��Sounds like you��re in good condition, sir.��


    ��It��s really okay.��


    In a large interrogation room in the Supervision Department of the FBI''s Los Angeles Branch, Potente Byrne looked at the Coke hamburger set on the table in front of him. He chuckled and asked directly without further talking on this topic:


    ��Where did the special investigation team investigate this case?��


    ��We just found the killer broker and he is already dead.��


    Roan briefly described the situation at the scene. After listening, Potente-Byrne was silent for a few seconds and said:


    ��You have done a good job. In the next five days, the special investigation team must pay more attention to safety.��


    ��I understand, sir.��


    A flash of light flashed in Luo An''s eyes. He understood the meaning of Potente-Bourne''s words. In five days, he would leave the Supervision Department and come out to lead the special investigation team to secretly handle the case.


    ��Good.��


    ? Potente-Bourne nodded with satisfaction, briefly chatted with Luo An about other matters, and then hung up the phone.


    ?? Luo An handed the phone back to Horst, and not long after, several agents from the Trace Inspection Division also arrived at the scene. After processing the findings at the scene, everyone returned to the FBI Los Angeles branch building.


    ����


    The next day, at 11 o''clock in the morning, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    Because they worked overtime for a long time last night, with Luo An''s permission, the agents of the special investigation team took a good rest for a few hours and came to work near eleven o''clock.


    ?That''s another reason Winslow and Chenelle like the Special Investigations Unit: The hours are very flexible.


    Other ordinary investigative teams of the FBI''s Los Angeles Division do not have this privilege.


    First, there are many detectives in the investigation team. If one detective takes a temporary break, other detectives can take over.


    Second, the special investigation team is a temporary establishment. In many cases, the special investigation team is the leader of the team. Certain rules are not mandatory for the special investigation team.


    Because of this, I went home late last night, but this morning I entered the FBI Los Angeles branch building to work as usual at 8 o''clock. I waited until 11 o''clock to see the faces of Luo An and others. Horst, the supervisor, took a deep breath. He rubbed his sore eyes and suppressed the unhappiness and swear words in his heart.


    After resting for several hours, Luo An, who was full of energy, patted Horst on the shoulder, handed him a bag of breakfast...lunch, and said with a smile:


    "Thanks a lot."


    ����


    Horst, who had a serious face, stared at Luo An for a moment, and then took the food:


    "Thanks."


    ?Luo An chuckled and pointed to the sofa in the back right corner of the Special Investigation Team''s office area, indicating that Horst could go there to rest.


    "Wait a moment."


    ?Horst frowned when he heard this, grabbed Luo An who was about to turn around and left, and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��What is the work plan of your special investigation team today?��


    ��Work plan? What plan?��


    Roan blinked, not understanding what Horst��s words meant.


    Horst said that the Supervision Department has a corresponding work plan every day, that is, what work needs to be completed every day, and whether it is completed or not corresponds to different evaluation criteria.


    ����It��s not easy for the people in the Supervision Department to persist until now.��


    ?After hearing the other party��s explanation, Luo An��s lips twitched. He finally understood how Horst��s meticulous work style came about.


    ��My special investigation team has no work plan. When investigating cases, no one knows what will happen in the next second.��


    ? Luo An was too lazy to discuss this issue with Horst. He finished his lunch in a few mouthfuls and stood up directly and walked into the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    "Good afternoon, everyone." Luo An walked to the whiteboard at the front of the Special Investigation Team office area, pasted the photos of the killer Enestone, and the broker and private detective Sean Hoffman on the whiteboard, and then turned back first He looked at Michelle and asked:


    ��How is the autopsy done by the trace examination department?��


    An autopsy is a very complex task. There are many aspects to be written in the formal report and it takes a very long time.


    ?However, many times, the special investigation team and other ordinary investigation teams will not wait for the official autopsy report to be written. Instead, they go directly to the trace examination department to ask about the cause of death of the victim, materials found at the scene and other information, and then directly start the next step of the investigation.


    ��The specific report has not yet come out, but the cause of death has been determined.��


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Michelle, who had gone to the Trace Inspection Department before and asked for a handwritten brief report, stood up and answered:


    ��The cause of death of the victim Sean Hoffman was a gunshot wound in the center of his forehead.


    Based on the broken pillow found at the scene, the Trace Inspection Section determined that the murderer put the pillow in front of the gun''s muzzle before shooting and used the pillow as a silencer.


    There are no signs that the villa where the crime occurred has been broken into, so the murderer is most likely someone Sean Hoffman knows, or the two have met in the past.


    ?In addition, the ballistics test of the bullet that killed Sean Huffman has also been completed.


    Unfortunately, there is no matching gun in the FBI''s internal database. This is a new black gun. "


    Luo An then turned his attention to the others, and Lacey stood up immediately, frowning and saying:


    ��Based on the information found last night, I found the last investigation of Sean Hoffman before his death.


    ?It was a divorce case, and Sean Hoffman was entrusted by the boss of a financial institution to find evidence of his wife''s infidelity.


    ??But Sean Hoffman used this opportunity to blackmail the cheating wife of the financial institution boss for money and sex..."


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ��What a scumbag.��


    After Lacey finished narrating, the other women present all looked ugly and cursed in a low voice.


    Winslow frowned and picked up the coffee and took a sip without saying anything. Seeing that no one else found anything, Luo An clapped his hands and said:


    ��Everyone, our next task is to investigate Sean Hoffman��s life experience, who he met, what he did, and what happened in the surveillance around the villa.


    ?At the same time, carefully check the photos, tapes, disks, bugs, memory cards, laptops and other items in the villa, and try to find out who the murderer is! "


    ��Understood!�� x5


    The five detectives responded in unison, and then immediately began to move their chairs back to their seats, and began to carefully investigate the clues according to Luo An''s request.


    As for Sean Hoffman''s whereabouts during his lifetime, due to his identity as a private detective, anti-reconnaissance skills, and always using cash for consumption, Mona and Michelle tried hard for a long time, but could not find any useful information, and in many cases did not even find out at all. No trace of the other party could be found.


    ?However, from the disks, memory cards and tapes in the villa, the members of the special investigation team got information beyond their imagination.


    ?Affairs, cheating, frame-ups, photos of male stars�� private lives, female stars�� private lives�� there are a lot of exciting contents that will cause reporters to revel in them as long as they are shown.


    After reading the information in her hand, Lacey��s face was full of disgust:


    ��I always thought that the news that a Hollywood actress had an affair with the president of a certain film and television company some time ago was a fake scandal, but I didn��t expect it to be true.��


    Chenelle raised her head and said in surprise:


    ��Are you still chasing stars?��


    ��I��m not star-chasing, I��ve just been attracted by the female star��s independent image.��


    Lacie put the disk aside and shook her head:


    ��I know that in a place like Hollywood, how can there be a woman who becomes famous purely by her strength.��


    ��I can��t say for sure����


    Chenelle replied casually and began to discuss with Lacey in a low voice.


    On the other side, Winslow looked at some of the information backups he found on the disk, and faced Luo An and said with emotion:


    ��I really want to know how much money Sean Hoffman made from this information during his lifetime.��


    ??Luo An frowned slightly, and just stood up to emphasize the confidentiality of the information to the agents, when Mona suddenly said with a strange look on her face:


    ��Roan, I think I found the murderer of Sean Hoffman and who is behind this case.��


    ��What?!��

 Chapter 476： The man behind the order to kill the Linden family

    Chapter 476: The identity of the man behind the order to kill the Linden family


    At 12 noon, Special Investigation Team, office area.


    Hearing Mona say that she might have found the mastermind behind the case, all the detectives immediately moved to her side.


    "Is such that."


    ??Mona showed the screen on her computer to everyone, and pointed at several mobile phones that Luo An and others got back from the villa, and explained:


    ��I checked Sean Huffman��s phone records and found a man named Martin. They both attended the same Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.��


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard, transferred the photo and identity information of this "Martin" to the computer desktop, and continued:


    ��According to the FBI��s internal database, Martin is affiliated with the Naroa Trafficking Group on the southern border of California.


    He is one of the subordinates of Tahvili, the leader of the independence cartel. "


    ?Luo An frowned slightly, Lacey''s eyes lit up and asked:


    ��You mean that the person who ordered the killing of the former team leader Linden��s family was the leader of this independence cartel, Tahvili?��


    ��The probability is very high.��


    ?Mona nodded and explained:


    ��The killer Eneston whom Luo An captured before said when he was interrogated that in the murder order, the person who placed the order had a special request:


    The son of former team leader Lynn Osborne must be hung upside down and disemboweled.


    ??I looked up the experience of drug trafficker leader Tahvili. A few years ago, his eldest son, who was a sole dealer, was arrested after a transaction failed due to the appearance of an undercover agent.


    The eldest son''s children and wife, who were Tahvili''s grandson and daughter-in-law, failed to evacuate in time. They were caught and hanged by the hostile forces, the other party to the transaction, and disemboweled and died on a high wall in a certain city. superior.


    And the leader of that operation..."


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard quickly, and a familiar face appeared on the computer screen:


    ��It��s none other than the former group director, Lyndon Osborne.��


    ��Fu-k!��


    "damn it!"


    ?After listening to Mona��s explanation, the detectives suddenly realized and understood the connection between the whole incident:


    Because of the appearance of an undercover agent, his son was arrested and his grandson and daughter-in-law were killed.


    ??In order to take revenge, Tahvili found someone to kill the original undercover dispatcher and the leader of the case, Lyndon Osborne and his family.


    ��But�� something seems not quite right.��


    Winslow pondered for a while and said:


    ��Under normal circumstances, a leader of a pro-independence group like Tahvili would usually let his subordinate, Martin, directly kill people, instead of asking him to go to a broker and issue a killing order.


    The possibility of encountering an accident or unexpected situation when issuing a murder order is too high. "


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Chenelle next to her nodded, and then added:


    ��Also, how did Tahvili, the leader of a criminal organization, find out that the leader of the original operation was former team leader Lyndon Osborne?��


    In response to Chenelle��s question, Lacey crossed her arms over her chest and sneered:


    ��There is no airtight wall in this world.


    ?As long as Tahvili pays enough money, someone will definitely tell Tahvili who was the leader of the original action.


    ?Maybe this person is an agent who participated in that operation and is now short of money. "


    ??Every year, the number of FBI agents who betray all kinds of information for money is countless. Lacey has seen this kind of thing too many times.


    ��But what Winslow said makes sense.��


    Michelle pointed to the computer in front of her and said:


    ��The FBI��s internal database shows that in cases where gangs and criminal organizations seek revenge, 90% of the cases are carried out by gang members themselves or by trusted subordinates.


    ?It is a bit strange for Martin to find a broker to place an order to kill people. �� ? ? Lacey frowned slightly and subconsciously turned her head to look to her side:


    ��Luo An, where are you...your people?��


    ??Lacie was stunned for a moment. She thought Luo An had been by her side, watching them discuss the case, but when she turned around, she found that he was missing.


    ��Luo An and Horst from the Supervision Department just left here together.��


    ?Chenelle, who was standing at the end, casually answered about Roan''s whereabouts, then handed Mona a croissant and continued to discuss the case.


    ??Mona took a bite of the food in her hand, and a flash of light flashed in her eyes. The woman''s intuition told her that Luo An was probably hiding something from her.


    ??? There may be a high-level mole in this building. Luo An did not tell the agents just to be safe. Currently, there are only four people who know about it:


    Roanne Greenwood, head of the Special Investigations Unit, Naseem, director of the FBI''s Los Angeles Division, Potente Byrne, the team leader, and Horst of the Inspectorate.


    After listening to what Mona had found out, several thoughts and speculations came to Luo An''s mind. So when Lacey and others were discussing the man behind the murder of the Linden family, Luo An had already taken Horst to the director. Naseem''s office.


    ��Good afternoon, Director.��


    Knocking on the door and getting permission to enter the office, Luo An briefly described the current situation and asked directly:


    ��Director, does our FBI Los Angeles Division currently have an action plan against the leader of the Naroa drug cartel, namely Tahvili?


    In other words, are there any undercover agents sent by our FBI Los Angeles branch around Tahvili? "


    Lacey previously suspected that Tahvili had paid money from grassroots agents to learn that the leader of the original operation was Lyndon Osborne.


    But Luo An, who knew more about the matter, suspected that Tahvili might have learned about it from the mouth of the mole.


    Director Nasim��s face changed slightly when he heard this. He also thought of this, so he said solemnly:


    ��In terms of the Department of Homeland Security, there is indeed an operation targeting the Naroa independence trafficking group, which has been operating for more than a year.��


    Director Nasim is not particularly familiar with the specific circumstances of this operation of the Department of Homeland Security. After all, the director is more concerned with issues such as the general development direction of the branch.


    ??Picked up the landline phone on the desk and briefly narrated a few words. Then Director Nasim hung up the phone and asked Horst from the Supervision Department to go to the Department of Homeland Security and secretly get the documents related to the operation here.


    ��Okay, Director.��


    Horst nodded with a serious expression, turned around and left the office. Director Nasim leaned back on his chair, closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and asked:


    ��Luo An, do you have any guesses about the identity of this mole now?��


    ��Sorry, Director, not yet.��


    ??Luo An shook his head. He was just an ordinary leader of the special investigation team. He didn''t know much about high-level matters.


    ?However, since the director asked a question, Luo An couldn''t answer nothing, so he pondered for a while and said:


    ��Director, I think the death of former team leader Lyndon Osborne��s family may be a plan by the insider to kill two birds with one stone.��


    Director Nasim asked directly without opening his eyes:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    ? Luo An coughed lightly and explained:


    ��I have always been thinking about the purpose of the mole constantly leaking the identity of the undercover agent to the leaders of criminal organizations.


    ?After thinking about it for a long time, there is only one reasonable reason: for money.


    ?There are undercover agents around him. As long as the leaders of criminal organizations know about this, they will not be stingy about spending a large sum of money to buy the information from the insider. "


    Director Nasim raised his head and signaled Luo An to continue. Seeing this, Luo An continued:


    ��This mole has hidden himself for so many years, so he must be a very cautious guy.


    ?The leaders of these criminal organizations later died in various accidents, and the insiders also knew the identities of the undercover agents.


    ??So we can be sure that the status of the insider is either very high; or the status of the insider is not high, but the position is very critical; or the insider has other accomplices, and the whole thing was done by the cooperation of several people. "


    Hearing this, Director Nasim raised his eyebrows, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Luo An, and asked:


    ��You just said that this case may be a plan by the insider to kill two birds with one stone. Please explain in detail.��


    Just as Luo An was about to speak, Horst from the Supervision Department suddenly knocked on the door and returned to the office with a sealed document bag.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 477： The moles plan to kill two birds with one stone

    Chapter 477 The mole��s plan to kill two birds with one stone


    ?Placing the sealed document bag on Director Nasim''s desk, Horst took a few steps back and walked to Luo An.


    ?Luo An glanced at Horst calmly. This guy was indeed too serious and serious, but some higher-ups, such as Director Nasim, would definitely like this kind of person.


    While Director Nasim opened the document bag, he motioned to Luo An to continue.


    Luo An paused for a few seconds and then said:


    ��The mole may have discovered that former team leader Lyndon Osborne was secretly investigating the strange death of the undercover agent, and also knew about the Department of Homeland Security��s actions against the Naroa independence cartel.��


    Roan said that the insider might have used some means to contact Tahvili, the leader of the Naroa independence cartel, and told Tahvili that there was an undercover agent sent by the FBI with him.


    ?Given Tahvili��s hatred for the undercover, the mole could use his status as an undercover agent to ask for a large sum of money from Tahvili.


    ?At the same time, the mole can also give Tahvili a "free news". That is, the leader of the incident in which Tahvili''s son was arrested and his grandson and daughter-in-law were killed was Lyndon Osborne.


    ?With Tahvili��s hatred for that incident, Tahvili will definitely take action against the Linden family.


    When Lyndon dies and the people investigating the mole disappear, the mole not only makes a fortune, but also has more time to prepare for subsequent plans, whether he leaves the FBI''s Los Angeles branch or makes other plans.


    At this point, Luo An paused and added:


    ��Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the insider��s identity as an undercover agent, and the situation of Lyndon Osborne, sold two copies to the Naroa Cartel and made two copies of the money.��


    ?Horst raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Luo An''s analysis and judgment were definitely one of the best investigation team leaders he had ever seen.


    ??And he didn��t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Luo An seemed to be very experienced in these things.


    Director Nasim raised his head and looked at Luo An with a very satisfied look in his eyes. He put down the document in his hand and said in a deep voice:


    ��Your analysis is very good, and your guess is correct. The Department of Homeland Security sent a total of 6 undercover agents to the Naroa independence cartel.


    Four of them currently have a low status and nothing much happens.


    The other two with the highest status suddenly lost contact some time ago. The Department of Homeland Security judged that there was a high probability that their identities had been exposed and they were killed by the Naroa cartel.


    As to the reason why the identities of the two were exposed, the Department of Homeland Security is still investigating. "


    ?Horst''s expression darkened when he heard this, and Luo An''s expression also darkened. The Department of Homeland Security''s "still investigating" also meant that they didn''t know the reason for this incident.


    ?This means that Luo An''s guess just now is most likely correct. The identities of these two undercover agents are most likely to be exposed directly to the leader of the Naroya trafficking group by the insider.


    ??Director Nasim had a dull face and kept tapping the fingers of his right hand on his desk, not knowing what he was thinking.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, he looked up at Luo An and Horst, and said in a deep voice:


    ��I will order the Department of Homeland Security to go to southern California the day after tomorrow to carry out a raid on the Naroa separatist group.


    ?Roan, you lead the special investigation team to participate in this event to ensure that the leader of the Naroa cartel, Tahvili, is brought safely back to Los Angeles.


    ?Horst, �� is responsible for contacting the Department of Homeland Security. "


    ��Understood!�� x2


    After Director Nasim finished speaking, Luo An and Horst nodded in unison, said a few words, and left the Director''s office together.


    Horst from the Supervision Department nodded to Luo An and left first. Luo An walked into the elevator, looked at the slowly declining numbers, and began to think about the meaning of Director Nasim''s words just now.


    ??The most obvious point is that Director Nasim is now somewhat suspicious of the situation within the Department of Homeland Security and is worried that Tahvili died of "unknown reasons", so he asked Luo An to lead the special investigation team to participate in the operation.


    In his words, Director Nasim also stated that the leader of this operation was the Department of Homeland Security, not the Special Investigation Team.


    ??The case of the Naroa independence trafficking group belongs to the Department of Homeland Security. Naturally, the Special Investigation Team cannot rush to pick peaches. Luo An understands Director Nasim��s arrangement and does not want to compete with the other party for this credit.


    ??In addition, the joint operation of the Department of Homeland Security and their special investigation team must not be hidden from the people in this building.


    ??Director Nasim��s arrangement is probably to alert the enemy, to see how some people react, and to find out the mole.


    ?Thinking about this, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that Director Nasimka liked and was good at conspiracy. Luo An then began to think about possible emergencies that might occur when he takes action the day after tomorrow, as well as solutions and other plans.


    ?Back at the office of the Special Investigation Team, Luo An said that he would go to California to arrest someone the day after tomorrow, and all the agents were immediately in an uproar.


    Chenelle stood up first and said seriously:


    ��Team leader, all we have is indirect evidence and reasonable guesses.


    ? There is currently insufficient evidence to prove that Tahvili was the real culprit behind ordering Martin to kill the Lyndon-Osborne family. "


    "I know."


    ??Roan motioned for Chenelle to sit down. He had already thought of this before.


    ??The Special Investigation Team currently has no direct evidence of the murder of former team leader Linden. Homeland Security has executed two undercover agents, but they have spent a year on each other and it is impossible to get nothing.


    ?In the eyes of Director Nasim, the most important thing is to quickly and secretly find the mole. Whether Tahvili can be convicted only comes second.


    ?Seeing that Chenelle still wanted to speak, Luo An continued:


    ��This operation was a joint operation between our Special Investigation Team and the Department of Homeland Security.��


    Michelle, Lacey and others were all stunned for a moment. A flash of light flashed in Luo An''s eyes, then he waved and said:


    ��Mona, Winslow, Chenelle, come to my office.��


    ��OK.��


    The three of them looked at each other in confusion, but they still nodded in agreement and followed Luo An into the team leader''s office.


    ��Mysterious.��


    Seeing this scene, Lacey, who stayed in the office area, complained in a low voice, then sat back on the chair and began to slowly eat snacks with Michelle.


    Because Los Angeles is a bit far from southern California, at 7pm the next day, the Special Investigation Team, together with the Department of Homeland Security and several SWAT teams, went to Elson, a city in southern California very close to Mexico. Luo.


    ��Good evening, Captain Greenwood.��


    ??In a large, black troop carrier, a white man who looked to be in his forties, somewhat bald, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, and less than 1.7 meters tall, smiled and stretched out his hand to Luo An and said:


    ��I have long heard that the leader of the special investigation team is very young. When we met today, I found that I still lack some imagination.��


    ��Good evening, Captain Arnold.��


    ? Luo An chuckled, stretched out his hand to shake the other person''s hand, and exchanged a few simple greetings.


    Chief Arnold, head of an investigation team in the Counterintelligence Division of the Department of Homeland Security, has always been handling the case of the Naroa independence trafficking group.


    ??This is the first time Luo An and team leader Arnold have met. On a personal level, there is no conflict between the two.


    But in terms of work, because the Special Investigation Team was transferred by Director Nasim and temporarily participated in this arrest operation, the agents under Team Leader Arnold looked at several agents from the Special Investigation Team with unkind eyes. .


    ?However, Team Leader Arnold and Luo An had a good chat, and Horst from the Supervision Department had been sitting next to him, so the atmosphere in the car was quite peaceful, and the team members from the Homeland Security Department did not say anything excessive.


    A few hours later, several large, dark troop carriers arrived on a road in the eastern part of the city of Elsandero.


    ?Following this road for more than two hours, you will find a large farm that looks unremarkable and is very common in California.


    ??But it is this unremarkable farm that provides white flour and other addictive substances to one in six drug addicts in California every year.


    The farm is the centerpiece of the Naroa cartel and the target of the trip by Homeland Security, Special Investigations and SWAT teams.

 Chapter 478： Farm war, capturing enemies, emergencies

    Chapter 478: Farm War, Capturing Enemies, Emergencies


    In the eastern part of the city of Elsendro, several large black personnel carriers extinguished their headlights, like several black cheetahs waiting to hunt, quietly hiding in the wilderness.


    ?In the compartment of a troop carrier in the center, Team Leader Arnold from the Department of Homeland Security took out a map.


    ��Everyone, this is the topographic map of the farm in front.��


    Leader Arnold pointed to the red locations on the map and said seriously:


    ��These are observation posts and armed counterattack points set up by the independence-trafficking group.


    According to the information obtained beforehand, these positions contained rifles, grenades, smoke grenades, etc. Each of the central positions had a rapid-fire machine gun, and the number of guards was 2-3. "


    ������xN


    Looking at the red location on the map, everyone in the car frowned. Luo An raised his hand and rubbed his temples.


    The Federation has a well-known law: the Castle Law.


    ?That is, when federal citizens encounter danger at home, they have no obligation to retreat and can resist violently to protect their lives and property.


    Leader Arnold continued to introduce the details of the farm, such as warehouses, residences of ordinary peripheral members, and residences of key figures in criminal organizations.


    In addition, Team Leader Arnold also marked the entrances and exits of several tunnels in the farm, and requested that they must be blocked or destroyed as soon as possible during the subsequent actions, and the people in the farm must not be given a chance to escape. .


    The specific operation time was set in the early morning a few hours later. Team leader Arnold did not give direct orders as to how the special investigation team would proceed. Instead, he and Luo An briefly discussed a few words before formulating a plan.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was three o''clock in the morning on the third day.


    After resting for a few hours, the spirits of the over 100 agents and SWAT team members in total returned to their best state. Team Leader Arnold nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this, but did not directly order everyone to set off. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and made a call first. A phone call.


    Others in the carriage were a little confused, but Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of something.


    Sure enough, within ten minutes, the rumble of helicopters suddenly sounded in the wilderness. In addition to 5 police helicopters, there were also 2 military helicopters filled with weapons and other equipment.


    ����Six��


    Seeing the machine guns and rocket launchers on the three military helicopters, Luo An''s mouth twitched. He knew that Team Leader Arnold had worked in the Department of Homeland Security for so many years. There was absolutely no way he would bet the lives of his men and let people go directly to the farm. Li Chong.


    Seven helicopters roared over the wilderness, and Captain Arnold waved his hand:


    "Set off!"


    ?Ten helicopters separated in all directions, forming a circle to surround the farm in the distance. Several large troop carriers also divided their forces and advanced straight forward from the three paths outside the farm.


    Seven helicopters arrived above the farm, and Team Leader Arnold shouted:


    ��Fire!��


    ?Hum, boom, boom��


    ?Bang bang bang��


    As soon as the words fell, the FBI in two military helicopters immediately aimed at the defense facilities of the farm below and pulled the trigger.


    ?The drivers in the personnel carrier on the ground took advantage of this opportunity, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, directly broke through the gate of the manor and rushed in.


    In an instant, this quiet area turned into a battlefield. The fierce gunshots and explosions were deafening, and the orange-red flames from the muzzles became the most prominent light of the farm.


    ??The whole operation went very smoothly. The FBI was well prepared and had strong force. Before the operation, they cut off the farm wires, knocked down the sentry points, turned on the signal jammer, and followed the helicopter straight forward.


    The moment the wires were cut off, the Naraya Trafficking Group in the farm felt something was wrong, but before they could prepare an effective counterattack, the defensive platform outside was interrupted by a helicopter, and a bunch of personnel carriers rushed after them. Entered the farm.


    Boom! boom! boom!


    boom! boom! boom!


    ��FBI! Put your hands up!��


    ��Put down your weapons! Put your hands behind your head and lie on the ground!��


    ��Forward! Forward!��


    ��Watch the warehouse! There are grenades inside!��


    There are many houses on the farm, and the agents and SWAT teams went to their respective areas as planned.


    boom!


    The heavily armed Luo An ran out of the personnel carrier. Under the shocked eyes of the Department of Homeland Security agents, he raised his rifle and shot the guy in the warehouse not far away who wanted to blow them up with a grenade. Then he rushed in quickly without looking back. Tahvili lived in the villa and shouted at the same time:


    ��People from the Special Investigation Team! Follow us!��


    The target of the special investigation team in this operation was only Tahvili. Roan rushed into the villa first. Winslow, Michelle, Lacey, Chenelle and Mona immediately formed two teams to search closely. Tahvili''s whereabouts. ��Don��t shoot!��


    ��I have no weapons!��


    boom! boom! boom!


    This villa is very large, and the decoration style is extremely luxurious. However, Luo An and others were not interested in observing the scene in the villa. Instead, they quickly inspected each house. Enemies who attacked with guns were killed directly, and those who threw away their weapons were directly handcuffed together. Mutual supervision.


    ��The target person was not found on the second floor!��


    ��Not on the third floor!��


    ��Not even in the basement!��


    ? Chenier, Mona and Lacey killed several drug dealers who resisted, but did not find the target of their trip, Tahvili.


    Winslow was preparing to arrest a drug dealer for questioning. At this moment, the explosion of a shock bomb suddenly came from a room on the other side of the big villa.


    ??This is a bedroom at the corner of a villa. Michelle, fully armed, stood at the side of the door and said loudly:


    ��There is a secret passage in this room that we don��t know about. The target person just entered it together with five drug dealers with guns!��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An nodded. Time was running out now. Before Winslow, Chenelle and others could come here, he took out two smoke bombs and two shock bombs from his waist and threw them directly into the room.


    ����


    Bang! Bang!


    The next second after the shock bomb exploded, Luo An ducked into the room under Michelle''s shocked eyes.


    ?Inside the room, several drug dealers were startled by the sudden appearance of smoke bombs. They subconsciously turned around and fired back, only to be caught off guard by two more shock bombs.


    boom! boom! boom!


    The next second, a bullet hole appeared in the center of the foreheads of all three drug dealers. Luo An, who had "emotional perception" turned on in his mind, was like a ghost and easily killed the three enemies with a pistol.


    ��Shit!��


    The two remaining drug dealers gasped in shock when their teammate suddenly fell to the ground and died. They hurriedly raised their pistols and fired like crazy at the shadow of the humanoid shape in the smoke grenade.


    boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!


    ??The two drug dealers instantly emptied the bullets in their pistols. The drug dealer on the left quickly changed the magazine and asked:


    ��Is the person dead?��


    "not yet."


    The drug dealer nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly realized that the voice was wrong, and the voice came from behind him!


    ??The drug dealer''s pupils shrank suddenly, a cold feeling rushed from his back to his brain, and the hair on his body suddenly exploded, and he quickly turned around and prepared to shoot.


    boom! boom!


    The next second, two gunshots rang out. Two drug dealers were shot in the forehead and fell to the ground with shock in their eyes.


    The secret tunnel in this room was under the bathtub in the bathroom. Tahvili noticed something was wrong and ran here immediately, preparing to escape to Mexico along the tunnel.


    ??But Tahvili was already over sixty this year, and his health was not very good, so his movements were a bit slow. As soon as he arrived at the tunnel from the bathtub, Luo An killed the five people.


    ��Mr. FBI, we can negotiate a deal!��


    ??Seeing Luo An standing at the entrance of the tunnel, Tahvili cursed those people in his heart for being useless, but the expression on his face was very calm and he said:


    ��How about five million dollars and letting me go?��


    ??Luo An grinned, and Tahvili also laughed when he saw this. Just as he was about to continue talking, Luo An suddenly jumped into the tunnel and knocked Tahvili unconscious with one punch.


    The smoke slowly dissipated. Seeing Luo An unharmed and slowly walking out of the tunnel with Tahvili on his shoulders, the Department of Homeland Security agents who rushed here swallowed their saliva, their faces dumbfounded and shocked, and hurried Turn around and make way for Luo An.


    ??Luo An chuckled, walked out of the room, and was about to hand Tahvili to Winslow and Chenier.


    At this moment, the familiar sense of danger suddenly surged into Luo An''s head. The next second, a gunshot rang out not far away, and a bullet flew straight towards Luo An!


    Dear book friends, you must keep warm and protect yourself in the near future. The feeling of flu is too uncomfortable (�n). This wave of flu is very severe. People in the hospital are also hanging medicine bottles because of the flu. There are not enough chairs in the room to sit, which is outrageous...

 Chapter 479： Source of bullets, suspects, end of fight

    Chapter 479 The source of the bullet, the suspect, and the end of the battle


    In the eastern part of the city of Elsendero, extremely fierce gunshots and explosions resounded from a certain farm.


    Outside the corridor of the corner bedroom of the central villa on the farm, Homeland Security agents lined up on both sides to make way for Roan. Winslow and Chenelle were preparing to take over the target of their trip from Roan. , Tahvili.


    boom!


    Because it was blocked by other gunshots outside, the sudden gunfire did not attract everyone''s attention. Only Mona and Lacey, who were standing behind, realized something, changed their faces and screamed:


    ��Luo An! Be careful!��


    At the same time that the two screamed, Roan seemed to suddenly soften, and together with Tahvili, he jumped forward in front of Winslow and Chenelle.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��There��s a sneak attack!��


    ��The enemy is on the right!��


    ??The moment Luo An fell to the ground, mixed with the shouts of Mona and Lacey, everyone realized what happened, and their expressions changed drastically.


    Michelle quickly flew to Luo An''s side, preparing to use her body to block the bullets that might come next. Winslow and Chenier subconsciously raised their weapons and looked in the direction of the bullets to find the enemy. And prepare to fight back.


    ?? Homeland Security agents, like Lacey, Chenelle and others, all immediately took up arms and turned around to look for the enemy.


    But the agents searching for the enemy found nothing, because the bullets flew in the direction of a small battlefield not far from the villa where several drug dealers were being cleared. The place was currently enveloped by a bunch of orange-red flames from the muzzles. No one knew. Where did that bullet come from?


    Unlike others, Mona quickly moved to Luoan''s side to check the situation after he fell to the ground, with panic and worry written on her face.


    ��I��m fine.��


    ??Looking up at the bullet holes on the wall beside him, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly. The target of the shooter was not him, but the head of Tahvili who was caught by him.


    ??If it weren''t for that familiar sense of danger that made Luo An rush forward and Tahvili was hit by a bullet in the head, today''s operation would have been in vain.


    ��I��m fine!��


    Roan got up from the ground, grinned at the people around him and repeated it. Then he handed Tahvili to Winslow and Chenier, and gave them a look. The two people who reacted were serious. Nodding, he immediately covered Tahvili tightly behind him.


    ?Seeing the actions of Luo An and the other three, the faces of all the agents present slightly changed as they realized something. Several agents from the Department of Homeland Security turned their heads and exchanged glances.


    ??Luo An glanced at her calmly, squeezed Mona''s arm gently to tell her not to worry, then picked up the weapon and moved quickly towards the battlefield outside the villa, shouting at the same time:


    ��Lacie! Come with me to help!��


    "clear!"


    Lacey, who instantly understood Roan''s thoughts, immediately picked up her weapon and quickly followed. Mona and Michelle did not receive Roan''s order. They looked at each other and immediately moved to Chenier and Winslow, and also moved the tower. Heveli protected behind him.


    In the corridor, the special investigation team covering Tahvili and several agents from the Department of Homeland Security instantly became two distinct parts, and the air in this area became strangely quiet.


    Not far from the villa, three SWAT team members and three agents from the Department of Homeland Security were working together to besiege five drug dealers.


    ??It��s not that these five drug dealers have high marksmanship skills, but that there happens to be an ammunition storage point that collapsed to the ground behind the five of them.


    ?Bang bang bang bang��


    ? With full firepower and continuous crackling bullets, the three SWAT members on the left side of the camp were pressed so hard that they could not lift their heads.


    Suddenly the gunfire slowed down slightly, and the three of them were about to raise their heads to fight back when they saw a savage-faced guy in the middle of the drug dealer camp suddenly aiming at them with a freshly dug rocket launcher.


    The faces of the three SWAT team members changed drastically, and they quickly moved to other locations to avoid the situation. The drug dealer with a sinister face grinned widely, and was about to pull the trigger:


    ��Hahaha��all go to hell����


    ?At the same time, Luo An and Lacey rushed here from the other side. Seeing this scene, Luo An did not hesitate, immediately raised his weapon and shot two bullets into the head of the man with a sinister face.


    boom! boom!


    Two gunshots rang out, and the head of the man with a sinister face was instantly spattered with blood. He fell forward, but he happened to press the launch button of the rocket launcher at this time, and the rocket followed his fall and hit him directly. In the camp of drug dealers. ��Fu-k!��


    ��Shit!��


    The other four drug dealers all turned green when they saw this scene. They didn''t care about the SWAT team and the other four people not far away, and quickly stood up and prepared to jump out of the position.


    Boom��


    ?The next second, a burst of dust erupted in all directions, rockets exploded violently in the position, and drug dealers with sinister faces instantly filled the entire position.


    Two of the remaining four drug dealers were tossed to the ground like broken dolls and fell into a deep sleep forever. The other was screened by Lacey and Homeland Security agents. The last drug dealer had his legs blown until he disappeared. There was no immediate death, and indescribable screams echoed throughout the small area.


    ??The three SWAT team members who walked around the line of life and death got up from the ground, walked to Luo An, stretched out their hands and shook Luo An''s hands, expressing their gratitude with seriousness and gratitude on their faces.


    ?Luo An smiled and shook hands with the three of them, chatted briefly, and then turned around and focused his attention on the three agents from the Department of Homeland Security.


    ��Thank you, Leader Greenwood.��


    The three agents also shook hands with Roan and expressed their gratitude. Roan briefly asked their names, which were Weasley, Wilder and Thomas.


    "You''re welcome."


    After shaking hands, the few people left quickly. Luo An looked at the backs of the three of them and narrowed his eyes slightly.


    ??He looked at the location where Agent Wilder was just now and found that it was separated from the other five agents, in the blind spot of the five people''s vision, and could just see the inside of the villa where Luo An had just been shot.


    ��What��s next?��


    ??Lacie also discovered the problem with Agent Wilder''s location, but she couldn''t find any evidence and didn''t understand why the other party did what he did.


    Winslow just checked the bullet in the villa and told Lacey that it came from a common weapon of the drug dealers at the scene. This means that there are only two possibilities for what happened just now:


    ?Either it was just a stray bullet, or the murderer picked up a drug dealer''s weapon here and fired a shot.


    ?Judging from the murderer''s level of caution, the other party most likely wiped off his fingerprints quickly after firing the gun, or even destroyed the gun directly.


    Hearing Lacey''s question, Luo An smiled, and then whispered a few words in Lacey''s ear. Lacey paused for a few seconds and nodded heavily.


    During the process of shaking hands and talking with several people, Luo An kept turning on the "emotional perception" in his mind. The other five people''s emotions toward Luo An were gratitude, shock, etc.


    ?Only Agent Wilder from the Department of Homeland Security showed little gratitude when shaking hands with Roan, but more shock, anger, resentment and fear.


    After finishing the explanation, Lacey turned around and walked quickly to the villa. Luo An looked at the backs of the Homeland Security agents not far away, narrowed his eyes, recalled all the clues he knew so far, and began to slowly integrate and analyze them.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and not long after, the sounds of fighting in the farm stopped all before the sun rose.


    This joint operation between the Special Investigation Team, the Department of Homeland Security and the SWAT team was very successful. It destroyed the core base of the Naroa independence trafficking group, captured Tahvili, the leader of the Naroa independence trafficking group, and seized nearly tons of All kinds of heavy-duty unique products, as well as unique product manufacturing raw materials and factories and other facilities.


    Suddenly, the entire California media began to cover the operation frantically. A lot of photos were taken, and the FBI''s Los Angeles branch held press conferences for several hours.


    On behalf of the Special Investigation Team, Luo An briefly attended the first half hour of the press conference. After briefly answering a few questions, he left the rest of the time to Team Leader Arnold of the Department of Homeland Security.


    ??Team Leader Arnold had already heard about what happened in the villa from his subordinates. He was about to talk to Luo An about the matter, but was stopped by Horst from the Supervision Department.


    Roan didn''t care about Team Leader Arnold''s situation. He returned to the Special Investigation Team and did not immediately start interrogating Tahvili. Instead, he first called Winslow, Chenier, and Mona into the team leader''s office. .

 Chapter 480： Interrogation, the identity of the mole

    Chapter 480: Interrogation, the identity of the mole - Part 1


    Thursday, 3 pm, office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    ��Good afternoon, Mr. Tahvili.��


    ??Luo An walked into the interrogation room alone, turned on the surveillance video, gave Tahvili a cup of coffee with his hands cuffed, sat on the chair opposite him with a smile, and asked:


    ��How is your head? Are you still awake?��


    Roan jumped into the tunnel before and knocked out Tahvili with one punch.


    Tahvili, who is in his sixties, does not have much white hair on his head, and his face looks very kind. If his identity is not introduced, ordinary people will most likely not think that he is the leader of the Naroa independence cartel. It feels more like an old retired man playing chess in the park.


    ?At this time, his hands were cuffed, and the expression on Tahvili''s face was very calm, and he replied with a slight smile:


    ��It��s okay, it��s just that the recovery is a bit slow. You young people don��t know how to respect the elderly at all.��


    "I have always respected ordinary old people, but there is no need to respect the big independent owl."


    Luo An did not continue to go around in circles and directly asked the other party about the situation of the two dead undercover agents.


    ��Oh, you are talking about those two children.��


    Tahvili suddenly understood, then took a sip of coffee and said with a smile:


    ��To be honest, they are very good and I like them very much.


    But there is no way, their luck is not very good. People with bad luck are destined to not live long, right? "


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and then asked:


    ��When and where did you know they were undercover agents?��


    ��I don��t know, I forgot.��


    ??Tahvili put down the coffee cup, rubbed his temples, and said with a smile:


    ��You were a little too strong before. I was hit by that punch and I forgot a lot of things.��


    ??Tahvili thought that Luo An would have some negative emotions after hearing this, but unexpectedly Luo An suddenly laughed.


    "It doesn''t matter, just forget it. I''ll help you recall some other things."


    The smile on Luo An''s face was very bright. He opened a folder and took out two photos from it. They were of Martin, the murderer, and Tahvili''s other young son, Naroa. The next generation leader of the group, Willoughby.


    ??Luo An pushed the photos of the two of them in front of Tahvili, then took out some transfer records and call records, and said with a smile:


    ��I have been wondering before, why do you hate Lynn Oscar so much, why would you send your subordinate Martin to pay a broker to find a killer, and let the killer kill people.


    Through investigation later, I discovered that Martin had actually betrayed you and gone to work for your son Willoughby. "


    ??Roan called Mona, Winslow and Chenelle into the office before and asked the three to investigate and arrest Martin.


    According to the internal information of the Naroa cartel organized by the Department of Homeland Security, as well as the last information returned by the two deceased undercover agents during their lifetime, Willoughby has already attacked his sixty-year-old father. I have been feeling dissatisfied for a long time.


    Coupled with the investigation of Mona and the others, Roan discovered that Martin was one of the people Willoughby secretly attracted.


    After learning that Tahvili asked Martin to murder the Linden family, Willoughby immediately took this opportunity to ask Martin to deliberately leave some traces, so that the FBI would notice and arrest Tahvili, and kill with a borrowed knife. He would then take over and control the situation. Roya Trafficking Group.


    ? In the past six months, Willoughby has been working for the Naroa cartel in Mexico. This joint operation did not catch him, which means that Willoughby''s plan has been successful.


    Papa pa pa��


    With a smile on his face, Luo An clapped his hands a few times, looked at Tahvili and said with a smile:


    ��A father��s kindness and his son��s filial piety are eye-opening.��


    ����


    ??Tahvili was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed, poured the unfinished coffee on the photos of Willoughby and Martin, then looked up at Roan and said:


    ��The identities of the two undercover agents and the situation of Lyndon Osborne were told to me by someone within the FBI.


    I can tell you everything I know in exchange for a quieter cell with a view of the woods. "


    Tahvili didn''t mention the plea agreement. On the one hand, it was impossible to reduce the many charges against him. On the other hand, Willoughby was his son after all. Tahvili believed that Willoughby was better than someone who was good at others. , we will definitely be able to develop the Naraya Independent Group even better.    "Can."


    Roan did not refuse the small request for the cell. Tahvili said that some time ago, he suddenly received a call on his personal mobile phone.


    ??The voice on the other end of the phone could not be identified as male or female. The other party said that there was an FBI undercover agent beside Tahvili. If he wanted to know who that person was, Tahvili would need to pay the other party US$2 million.


    ? Tahvili was skeptical, but he was willing to use $2 million as a test, so he made a transaction in accordance with the other party''s request.


    The transaction process is that Tahvili first transfers the money into an overseas account. After the other party receives the money, he asks Tahvili to send his men to pick up documents from a locker at an airport in a certain city or a train station. The document states: The undercover��s true identity.


    According to the detailed investigation by his subordinates, Tahvili found that the information given by the other party was true, so he made two transactions with the other party, using US$2 million and US$500,000 respectively, and learned about another undercover agent, and Details of the Lyndon-Osborne family.


    The person who sold the information later lost contact, as if he didn''t exist. Tahvili didn''t care. He first had two undercover agents sent by the Homeland Security Department be killed, and then sent Martin to deal with Lyndon Os. This family.


    "very good."


    ?Roan carefully recorded Tahvili''s account in his notebook, and then asked a certain question every once in a while. He asked it over and over again several times to make sure that there was nothing wrong with Tahvili''s explanation, and then he turned and left the interrogation room.


    As soon as she returned to the office area, Lacey came over and said seriously:


    "Luo An, I have already found out what you asked me to check before."


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, pulled Lacey into the team leader''s office, and asked:


    ��What is the specific situation?��


    ��Agent Wilder from Homeland Security, there��s something really wrong with this guy.��


    Lacey snorted coldly. When she was at the farm, Roan asked her to investigate Agent Wilder''s financial situation. Lacey didn''t find anything unusual at first. Agent Wilder''s own bank account, his wife''s, and his parents'' bank account Nothing wrong with the accounts was found.


    Lacie had no choice but to use the oldest method: tracking.


    ? Facts have proven that some methods are old but still effective.


    During the tracking process, Lacey learned that Agent Wilder''s car had an accident the day before the farm operation was launched, and he drove the car to a repair shop for repairs.


    The repair bills that Agent Wild later paid to the repair shop were all in old, non-sequential $20 bills.


    ?In the past, when Agent Wilder had car problems or made other large transactions, he basically used credit cards and rarely used large amounts of cash.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ??Luo An nodded with satisfaction, then lowered his head to write and draw in his notebook for a while, and walked out of the team leader''s office with Lacey. He clapped his hands to attract the attention of other agents and said:


    ��Everyone, I need you to investigate something.��


    ��What?��


    ?Michelle, Winslow and Chenelle, who were processing the follow-up documents of the Lyndon Osborne family''s murder case, all looked up in confusion, and Mona also looked confused:


    ��Are there any issues with this case that have not been resolved?��


    Luo An didn��t explain much. He just picked up the snacks on Lacey��s table and gave a few packets to everyone. Then he gave some information obtained from the interrogation just now to the detectives for them to investigate the situation.


    Lacie: ������


    ? Winslow, Michelle and others didn''t know the reason, but since they believed in Luo An, they still received their respective information and investigated it carefully.


    With Mona and Michelle''s speed, it didn''t take long for them to finish processing the information they needed to investigate, and handed the list to Roan, followed closely by Chenille and Winslow, who also handed it over a few minutes later. Got two lists from Luo An.


    ??Luo An was looking down at the four lists when Horst from the Supervision Department suddenly knocked on the door and walked into the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, saying that the director asked Luo An to go to his office.


    Luo An closed the folder, raised his head and showed a smile:


    ��It just so happens that I also have something to report to the director.��

 Chapter 481： Analysis, under the identity of the mole

    Chapter 481 Analysis, the identity of the mole-Part 2


    FBI Los Angeles Division, Office of the Director.


    Knocking on the door, Luo An entered the office together with Horst from the Supervision Department. At this time, in addition to Director Nasim, there was also team leader Potente Byrne, whom he had not seen for a long time.


    This is already the third time Luo An has met with Director Nasim in just a few days.


    As the leader of a grassroots investigation team, it is very rare for the FBI''s Los Angeles branch to enter the director''s office so frequently.


    ��Good afternoon, director, sir.��


    Entering the office, Luo An first said hello to Director Nasimhao''s team leader Potente Byrne, then handed the folder in his hand to the Director, and said with a slight smile:


    ��The leader of the Naroa independence cartel, Tahvili, has confessed.��


    "very good."


    Opening Luo An��s interrogation record, Director Nasim couldn��t hide the joy in his eyes. He lowered his head to check for a moment. He handed the folder to Potente Byrne, looked at Luo An with a smile, and said:


    ��Roan, you are worthy of being the leader of the special investigation team that Potente-Byrne has always praised.


    ??The murder of the Linden family has only been going on for a long time, and you have found out the whole incident. I have to say, your work is very good! "


    Facing Director Nasim��s compliment, Luo An stood up straight and grinned, without saying too many modest words.


    After all, Western culture is different from Eastern culture. Excessive modesty will leave a bad impression on Director Nasim.


    ?Potent-Bourne briefly read the contents of the folder and said with a smile:


    ��I have many talents under my command, and the leader of the Special Investigation Team, Roan Greenwood, is definitely one of the best. He deserves the praise of the director!��


    The Virgo smiled and nodded, joking with Potente-Born for a few words. Then he picked up the coffee and took a sip. His face gradually became serious, and he asked Luo An in a deep voice:


    ��How far have you reached the investigation regarding the mole?��


    When Director Nasim raised the question, Horst from the Supervision Department and Potente Byrne, the team leader, all turned their attention to Luo An.


    The smile on Luo An��s face did not change, he chuckled and said softly:


    ��Report to the director, I have found that person.��


    Roan finished speaking, Horst''s expression was moved, which was replaced by disbelief. Director Nasim and Potente-Born''s expressions showed no change in expression, they looked at each other and said:


    ��Explain it in detail.��


    "no problem."


    Roan took back the folder from Potente-Byrne''s hand, turned to the last few pages, showed it to the three of them, and explained:


    ��This mole is very cautious and has done a lot to erase traces of his existence, but the more things he does, the faster he is exposed.��


    ? Luo An listed all the things the mole did:


    The mole himself, an associate or associate of the mole, contacted Tahvili by phone; collected money through three different overseas bank account numbers; printed documents with information about the undercover and the Lynn-Osborne family; placed the documents in Lockers at train stations or airports; contact Homeland Security Agent Wilder through unknown means, send him money and order him to kill Tahvili during the chaos.


    In addition, this insider also has access to the identity information of undercover agents in the Department of Homeland Security and other departments; he knows the FBI''s Los Angeles branch and the annual "undercover death indicators" for middle-level managers; and the unexplained deaths of undercover agents whose identities are revealed. The time lasted for more than six years, which means that the mole had served in the FBI''s Los Angeles branch for at least 6 years...


    ��I listed all these conditions, checked the FBI Los Angeles branch building one by one, and quickly found three officers who met the conditions.��


    Roan pulled out a piece of paper at the end of the folder and handed it to Director Nasim. Director Nasim glanced at the name on it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and handed the paper to Potente Byrne.


    Potente Byrne looked down and found the three insider suspects listed by Luo An, namely Frederick, Director of the Information Management Division of the FBI Los Angeles Branch; Semanji, Director of the Insider Threat Office; and Professional Responsibility Chief of Staff - Ms. Melanie.


    Director Nasim narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Which one of these three people do you think is the mole?��


    Luo An said seriously:


    ��Director of the Insider Threat Office - Mr. Semanji.��


    ��What is the key reason?��


    ��On the one hand, Mr. Semanji has the right to access information about undercover agents in various departments, which meets all the above conditions, and he has served in various departments of the FBI Los Angeles Division for more than 6 years.��


    Luo An handed the list of information he had previously asked the special investigation team detectives to find out to Director Nasim and Potente-Byrne, and explained at the same time: "On the other hand, there is a problem with the frequency of Mr. Semanji''s business trips. "


    ?According to Tahvili��s previous testimony, he paid first, and after the other party confirmed that the money had arrived, he immediately told him which locker the undercover information was hidden in.


    This means that the mole has prepared the undercover information in the locker before calling the leader of the criminal organization.


    ?Judging from the number of years of undercover killings alone, there is nothing wrong with Semanji, the director of the Insider Threat Office.


    But as long as the time of the undercover''s murder is advanced to the time when the leader of the criminal organization discovers the identity of the undercover, it will be found that Director Semanji is either on a business trip or on the way.


    In addition, because federal law stipulates "legitimate political donations," the bank accounts of senior federal law enforcement agencies are more or less problematic, and senior executives of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch are no exception.


    ??Mona��s investigation found that Semanji��s bank account is too ��clean�� compared to others. Although there is some ��extra income��, it does not match his daily consumption performance at all.


    ??However, Luo An did not say this out loud. He just put it in the folder as another piece of evidence. How to deal with it is up to Director Nasim.


    After listening to the narrative, Horst turned his head and took a deep look at Luo An.


    He had to admit that Luo An, as the leader of the special investigation team, had done the work within his scope of authority to the extreme. In such a short time, his analysis and reasoning were very sound and well-founded. Horst suddenly felt a pang for Luo An in his heart. Indescribable feelings of admiration.


    Papa pa pa��


    Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!


    "good very good."


    After listening to Luo An��s narration, Director Nasim slapped the table and raised his head, laughing loudly and praising him repeatedly.


    Feeling that the two words of praise were not enough, Director Nasim paused for a few seconds and continued to applaud, while exclaiming with admiration on his face:


    ��Excellent! As expected of the youngest investigation team leader of our FBI Los Angeles branch!��


    Potente Byrne, the team leader, was also stroking his hands and smiling. After the director finished speaking, he looked at Luo An with emotion on his face, and then added jokingly:


    ��Luo An is not only the youngest investigation team leader of our FBI Los Angeles branch, but also the youngest special investigation team leader in the entire federation!��


    ��That��s right!��


    Director Nasim admitted the flaw in his words with a smile on his face. His laughter gradually died down. He stood up and walked to Luo An and asked:


    ��I heard that during the previous operation, you went to catch the target person alone?��


    "this��"


    Upon seeing this, Director Nasim raised his hands and patted Luo An''s shoulders hard, and said with a smile:


    ��You are still a young person, and I have only been a team leader for a short period of time and I am not used to it. Remember to call someone when you encounter situations in the future, and don��t rush forward on your own.��


    Seeing the kind expression on Director Nasim''s face, Luo An immediately smiled and nodded.


    "very good."


    Director Nasim was very satisfied. He patted Luo An on the shoulder again and turned back to his seat. Upon seeing this, Potente Byrne smiled and handed Luo An a black folder and explained:


    "Your analysis and judgment are very accurate. Director of the Insider Threat Office - Semanji, is indeed the person we are looking for."


    ??At the same time that the Special Investigation Team and the Department of Homeland Security went to destroy the farm, Director Nasim and Potente-Byrne were naturally not idle and immediately took the opportunity to launch a secret investigation.


    The two had high status and had access to a lot of information. Coupled with Luo An''s previous analysis and the clues found, when the farm was destroyed, Director Nasim and Potente Byrne quickly locked in the identity of the mole. .


    Luo An was not surprised or surprised by this. He had already found so much information and clues before. Director Nasim, who was several levels above him, and Potente Byrne, who was experienced, would have Still can��t find the mole��


    ??There is definitely a big problem with the identity of the mole. Luo An had been prepared to ask the headquarters for help before this time.


    Of course, this idea must not be revealed. Luo An was surprised after reading the contents of the folder, and his words were full of admiration for the two officers.


    The two officers smiled with satisfaction, and the whole office was filled with a happy atmosphere.

 Chapter 482： The case is over, the suspect’s fate

    Chapter 482 The case is over and the suspect��s ending


    In the FBI Los Angeles branch, the director��s office was filled with laughter and laughter.


    They chatted for a while. Director Nasim and Potente-Byrne picked up their coffee and took a few sips. Luo An brought the conversation to the main topic and said:


    ��Director, after I successfully arrested Tahvili during the previous farm operation, someone tried to kill this guy during the chaos.��


    ??Luo An briefly described the scene when the incident occurred and the abnormal conditions discovered in the garage when his agents went to investigate Agent Wilder.


    ?After listening to Luo An��s narration, Director Nasim and Potente-Byrne��s smiles disappeared and were replaced by serious faces.


    Director of the Insider Threat Office - Semanji, has worked for the FBI''s Los Angeles branch for many years. No one knows how many people he has bribed with money, such as Agent Wilder of the Department of Homeland Security, and they need to be carefully interrogated and investigated in the future. .


    "I see."


    ??Director Nasim nodded, then he raised his finger and pointed at Horst, the Supervision Department next to Luo An, and said in a deep voice:


    ��This matter will be handled carefully by the Supervision Department, Luo An, you don��t have to worry.��


    After all, the case of Semanji, the director of the Internal Threat Office, should not be publicized. Director Naseem and team leader Potente Byrne also used other charges when they controlled him.


    Roan''s performance this time was perfect. Neither Director Nasim nor team leader Potente Byrne wanted to see Roan''s reputation and image damaged due to his investigation and handling of his colleagues.


    For someone like Agent Wilder of the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Supervision is the most suitable person to take action. Firstly, he will not attract undue attention, which is the job of the Department of Supervision. Secondly, the reputation of the Department of Supervision is not very good. , it doesn��t matter how bad the image is.


    Horst from the Ministry of Supervision: ������


    ?Horst��s eyelids trembled, but he still agreed with a serious face.


    Luo An smiled when he saw this:


    ��Thank you, Director.��


    Director Nasim waved his hand and then said a few words, signaling Horst from the Supervision Department to stay first. Potente-Born took Roan and left the director''s office first.


    ??In the corridor outside the director''s office, Potente Byrne looked at Luo An carefully and smiled as he walked:


    ��Luo An, you really opened my eyes this time.


    ??This case within a case was solved in a few days. If Director Nasim hadn''t pulled me out of the Supervision Department quickly, I''m afraid this case would have been over by the time I came out. "


    ?Potent-Bourne is now feeling happy and proud, but at the same time a little speechless.


    What makes him happy and proud is that Luo An is indeed his most promising leader of the investigation team. Not only does he have excellent investigative and analytical skills, but he is also very capable, and this time he has made a big splash in front of the director.


    The point that I am speechless about is that Luo An��s ability seems to be a bit too good.


    Potente-Byrne was right. If the director hadn''t asked him to come out in advance to investigate and arrest people, I''m afraid this case would have been solved by Luo An.


    After hearing this, Luo An shook his head repeatedly, smiled and praised Potente Bourne. After all, the status of the suspect in this case was somewhat high. In addition, his performance was obvious to all and his credit was sufficient, so Luo An had no intention of arresting anyone. , I definitely can��t eat the cake by myself.


    ?Potente-Bourne smiled even brighter on his face and patted Luo An on the shoulder. He still had some follow-up work to deal with in this case. He gave a few simple instructions and turned around to leave.


    Luo An took the elevator back to the Special Investigation Team. The detectives who were dealing with the murder of the Linden family raised their heads and said hello when they saw him coming back. Mona just hugged her laptop and stood up and walked after Luo An. Entered the team leader''s office.


    ??Mona entered the office, placed the laptop directly on Luo An��s desk, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, are there other problems in this case?��


    The agents of the Special Investigation Team are all smart people. Horst from the Supervision Department came here inexplicably, and Luo An''s mysterious behavior and actions made them aware of something.


    It''s just that they didn''t guess what the matter was, they just felt that something was not quite right.


    ?But Luo An didn��t mean to say anything. Lacey, Winslow and others had no intention of asking because they had extraordinary trust in Luo An.


    ?Only Mona, who couldn''t suppress her curiosity, came here to make some inquiries.


    ��There are indeed other questions, but the team leader won��t let me talk about them.��


    ?Luo An chuckled and threw the pot to Potente-Byrne.


    ??Mona''s face fell when she heard this. She was a person who knew how to behave, so she simply stopped asking. Instead, she pointed at the screen of her laptop, changed the subject, and asked:


    ��We have captured the current generation leader of the Naroa drug cartel, Tahvili. But Tahvili��s son, Willoughby, is the next generation leader of the Naroa drug cartel and is currently in Mexico. , what should we do next?"


    ��The Department of Homeland Security will handle him, and our Special Investigation Team will not have to deal with it.��


    ??Luo An closed the laptop and handed it back to Mona. He mentioned this to Director Nasim not long ago, and also briefly described Willoughby''s operation of borrowing a knife to kill people and being a loving father and a filial son.


    Director Nasim thought about it for a moment after hearing the incident, and finally decided to hand it over to the Department of Homeland Security to handle the follow-up work of this criminal group.


    One is because Willoughby is currently outside the federal territory, making the investigation and handling work more difficult. The other reason is that Director Nasim is worried that Willoughby has a small but elite special investigation team. Team leader Arnold of the Department of Homeland Security has rich experience. , can handle similar problems well.


    Team Leader Arnold: ������


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona nodded and left the team leader''s office with her laptop in her arms. Luo An also took a folder and began to process the follow-up paperwork for the "murder case of the former team leader''s family".


    At the same time, on another floor of the FBI Los Angeles branch building, Horst, wearing a black suit with a blue ID card stuck on his chest, looked expressionless, followed by several similarly dressed agents from the Inspection Department. Under the various looks of passers-by, I walked straight to the area where the Department of Homeland Security was located.


    ? Pushing the door and walking into an action group, Horst turned a blind eye to the hostile gazes of the agents from the action group and looked directly at the target of their trip, saying coldly:


    ��Hello, Agent Wilder, please come with us.��


    Upon hearing this, Agent Wilder''s face suddenly darkened.


    ??That night, when the special investigation team agents were packing their things to get off work, Lacey suddenly exclaimed and shouted:


    ��Ladies and gentlemen, big story, Director of the Office of Insider Threats, Semanji has been fired.��


    "Wow."


    ??Mona moved her chair closer to Lacey and asked curiously:


    ��What��s the reason?��


    ��I don��t know, but other agents speculated that it was a financial issue.��


    Lacie spread her hands, she had seen this kind of thing too many times.


    ?Mona suddenly understood, and Winslow, Michelle and others also began to laugh and discuss other similar cases.


    As for the news about a dozen grassroots agents below the news, such as Agent Wilder and others who were taken away for review by the Supervision Department, it was selectively ignored. After all, the Supervision Department will review certain agents every once in a while. They are all used to it.


    Luo An changed his clothes and walked out of the team leader''s office. Seeing everyone chatting together, he smiled and asked:


    ��What are we discussing?��


    ��Discuss the importance of money in federal life.��


    After Lacey answered Luo An��s question, she smiled and asked:


    ��Luo An, this case has been solved. Our special investigation team has been busy for so many days. Shouldn��t we take a break?��


    ��Yes, you really should take a break.��


    Hearing Winslow mention the news of someone being dismissed from office, Luo An had a strange look in his eyes but said nothing. Then he waved his hand and said loudly:


    ��Let��s go to the barbecue restaurant for dinner tonight, and then go to work at noon tomorrow! Lacey��s treat!��


    ��What?!��


    ?The smile will not disappear, it will only shift. After Luo An finished speaking, the smile on Lacey''s face disappeared instantly. Mona, Michelle and others smiled even more. Fierce cheers rang out in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 483： Harvest, exercise, and financial crisis

    Chapter 483: Harvest, Exercise, and Financial Crisis


    Lacey''s treat was just a joke made by Luo An. Before going to the barbecue restaurant, Luo An called the owner of the restaurant. After they arrived at the restaurant, within a few minutes, beef, mutton, chicken, and various seafood were roasted. Vegetables were also brought to the table.


    ��Cheers!�� x6


    At the fragrant dining table, the agents raised their glasses and drank, happily enjoying the food.


    ?The next morning, Luo An was awakened by the urge to urinate. He climbed out of bed sleepily and walked into the bathroom to deal with his personal conflict.


    ?This room is the second bedroom on the second floor of the villa, and it is also the room where Luo An lives on weekdays.


    ? ? Last night, under the influence of alcohol, both Mona and Roan got into the mood, so they played wildly for two hours in Mona''s room, the master bedroom of the villa.


    Afterwards, Luo An was about to go to the bathroom of the master bedroom to clean up, but was pushed out of the room by Mona.


    ?This made Luo An very unhappy. What does it mean to throw it away after use?


    While washing, Luo An opened the light blue system page in his mind.


    ?As expected of Luo An, the system rated Luo An��s handling of recent events as [Excellent], and he accumulated four treasure chests.


    After a rough cutscene, four treasure chests revealed a bottle of [Analgesic Potion], a bottle of [Hemostatic Potion], a bottle of [Featherfall Potion], and a bottle of [Swift Potion].


    At this time, in Luo An��s system warehouse page, there is [Stamina Potion x5] that can be dispensed almost every day.


    ��Hemostatic Agent x5��


    ��Antidote x5��


    ��Swift Potion x4��


    ��Strength Potion x3��


    ��Sensitive agent x1��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x6��


    ��Featherfall Potion x3��


    ��Sleep Potion x1��


    ��Scuba Potion x1��


    Luo An has been thinking about it and feels that the [Danger Sensing Potion] has the greatest effect has not been prescribed yet.


    ?However, Luo An is not in a hurry. With the increasingly honest social atmosphere of the Federation, there will be opportunities to obtain treasure chests in the future. There are always treasure chests that can open [Danger Sense Potion]


    After washing up, Luo An took out a bottle of [Stamina Potion] and drank it in one gulp. His mental state was instantly full, and his lower back was restored to its best condition.


    After changing his clothes, Luo An went downstairs and made two simple breakfasts. After eating his own portion, he rested for more than 40 minutes and walked into the gym at the corner of the first floor.


    ?This gym was originally a room provided for nannies or chefs in the villa, but neither Luo An nor Mona like to hire nannies, and usually clean the room by themselves.


    Since they couldn''t deal with it anymore, the two called the community management and called two housekeeping staff temporarily.


    This left the room vacant. Luo An and Mona happened to both have fitness needs, so they bought a treadmill, a spinning bike, dumbbells, floor mats and other items and turned the room into a gym. .


    ??At first, there was a fitness ball in this room. Later, Mona and Luo An developed some new functions for this fitness ball, so Mona put the ball in the dressing room of the master bedroom.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    In front of a red standing sandbag, Luo An was doing boxing and kicking exercises in a leisurely manner.


    ? Luo An has a very clear understanding of himself and the system. The system in his mind has a greater role in raising the upper limit of his physical fitness.


    Fighting techniques, killing techniques, marksmanship, etc., still require continuous hard work, learning and honing. These are the foundation of one''s career.


    "Good morning."


    When Luo An punched the sandbags from various angles, he tied a ponytail and put on a set of dark gray underwear + gray high-waisted pants. Mona walked away carrying the breakfast that Luo An had prepared before. Entered this room.


    Luo An exhaled a breath, looked back at Mona, and said with a smile:


    "Good morning."


    ��The breakfast you made is much better than the breakfast I made.��


    After finishing breakfast in a few mouthfuls, Mona blinked her big eyes and asked doubtfully:


    ��Luo An, why is your boxing speed always so slow?��


    Luo An grinned and replied:


    ��Because I��m afraid that if I move too fast, I��ll beat the sandbag to death.��


    He has lost count of how many bottles of [Strength Potion] Luo An has drank so far. He also drank a lot of [Strength Potion], which slowly increased over a long period of time, making Luo An very strong.


    Luo An had secretly bought a hanging sandbag before. When he went all out, the sandbag was kicked away by Luo An and hit the wall. The contents of the sandbag were scattered all over the floor.


    ??So Luo An hits the sandbag mostly to repeatedly practice his killing and fighting moves. Speed ??is not important.?????����


    ?? Mona knew that Luo An was very strong, but she didn''t know what the specific situation was. She just thought Luo An was joking with her, rolled her eyes at Luo An, put the plate aside, and started to do simple muscle stretching.


    ?It is not suitable to exercise just after eating, because it can easily lead to gastroptosis and other symptoms in the long run. It was not until more than 40 minutes later that Mona stepped on the treadmill and started to officially exercise.


    ??Luo An continued to beat the sandbag leisurely. Mona trotted on the treadmill for a while and suddenly said:


    ��Luo An, I want to invest my money, do you have any suggestions?��


    ?Yesterday, when Mona and Lacey were sitting together for dinner, they learned from Lacey that the stocks she had bought based on Luo An''s advice had made her a lot of money.


    Eighty percent of the extra income Lacey later earned from the Special Investigation Unit was used by her to continue to buy those stocks.


    ?No one cares about making money. Mona has always ignored this before. She only remembered this when she saw Lacey''s face full of admiration and gratitude to Luo An.


    "invest��"


    Hearing this word, Luo An frowned slightly and slowly stopped punching.


    ? Luo An is not particularly familiar with the principles behind the financial crisis, but he remembers the story before the financial crisis officially broke out in 2008, when the Federal Savings Board began to raise interest rates.


    As interest rates increased, subprime borrowers could not afford the higher interest rates and interest rates, so they began to default on their loans.


    ?Once these people defaulted on their loans, they started to trigger a wave of foreclosures. Eventually, companies lost money, banks went bankrupt, investment banks failed, and the financial crisis broke out.


    ? Time has come to 2006. When Luo An was taking a break some time ago, he took a look at the interest rate of the Federal Reserve Fund. It has increased a lot compared with 2004, which means that the financial crisis is coming soon.


    ����Luo An? Luo An?!��


    ?Mona called out a few words loudly, and then asked:


    ��What are you thinking about?��


    "nothing."


    Luo An, who came back to his senses, smiled, took off the gloves from his hand and threw them aside, and said with a smile:


    ��Mona, don��t worry about the investment. I will study it carefully for a while later.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona''s face looked a little confused, but she still nodded and agreed. After such a long period of experience and running-in, she believed that Luo An would not lie to her.


    After finishing their fitness exercise, Luo An and Mona returned to their respective rooms, changed their clothes and set off to work.


    What makes Mona a little speechless is that Luo An always sits in the passenger seat of the white Ford she drives when he goes to work every day.


    ??The black Ford sedan in the garage is only driven by Luo An during holidays. Luo An travels on weekdays, mostly driving the SUV of the Special Investigation Team.


    In the follow-up work of [the murder case of a former team leader''s family], due to the information provided by the Department of Homeland Security, the charges of Tahvili, the leader of the Naroa drug cartel, were quickly determined one by one, and the subsequent court trial Once the work is completed, there is no need for the special investigation team to continue to follow up.


    ??In the next few days, under the wise leadership of the team leader Luo An, the agents of the special investigation team began their working life from nine to five.


    Time quickly came to Friday next week. On a chair in the office area, Lacey held a bag of snacks in her hand and asked while eating:


    ��What are your plans for the next two days?��


    Winslow grinned and asked with a smile:


    ��What, Lacey, are you going to treat me to dinner?��


    Snapped-


    ��Eat your snacks and don��t talk in your sleep.��


    ??Lacie rolled her eyes at Winslow and threw a bag of snacks to Winslow.


    Winslow laughed loudly. Lacey was too lazy to pay attention to him. She looked around and found that there was one less person in the office area, so she asked:


    ��Where is Michelle?��


    ��When you went to the bathroom just now, she was called to the conference room by Luo An.��


    ??Mona raised her hand and pointed to the room not far away and said:


    ��Someone from the IRS came just now.��


    ��IRS?!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 484： Team leader Elmer was promoted, and the leader of a previous case

    Chapter 484 Team Leader Elmer��s promotion, a big gain from a previous case


    Special investigation team office area and conference room.


    ?At the end of the long conference table in the center of the room, near the door, were several thick folders.


    ? Sitting on the chair next to the conference table, Michelle sat face to face with a female agent from the IRS, carefully reading the documents on the table to see if there were any irregularities or problems in them.


    At the other end of the conference table, Luo An sat with a middle-aged white man and chatted over coffee, with smiles on their faces.


    The person who came was none other than Luo An��s acquaintance, Team Leader Elmer of IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Section).


    ?However, the word team leader was a title in 2005. Entering 2006, team leader Elmer successfully took a step up and has now been officially promoted to one of the supervisors.


    ?In a place like the IRS, which values ??money but not people, being able to defeat others and get promoted is inseparable from the support of political performance with real money.


    ? ? Supporting Elmer''s successful political achievements are naturally the [Chief Financial Officer Kidnapping Case], [Villa Girl Missing Case] ??and [Judge Hotel Sports Murder Case] ??that Luo An asked him to handle last year.


    ??The number of cases was not large, but there was a lot of real money in it, which allowed Team Leader Elmer at the time to obtain a large amount of tax revenue.


    ??At the end of the year, when colleagues were comparing and reviewing their work, Team Leader Elmer punched and kicked his opponent, who refused to obey and took the position of supervisor.


    ? After successfully taking the position, how could Director Elmer forget Roann Greenwood, the head of the FBI Special Investigation Team who had helped him a lot? He immediately wanted to contact Roan to express his gratitude.


    ?However, Luo An was busy handling other cases at the time and had no time, so Director Elmer did not come to disturb him, but pushed the time to now when Luo An is not busy.


    From the moment he entered the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team and saw Luo An, the smile on Director Elmer��s face never stopped, and the look he looked at Luo An was full of kindness.


    The female IRS agent watching this scene once wondered whether Roan and Director Elmer were related, because when Director Elmer was at the IRS, he was always known as a serious and severe person. The look on his face There are only a handful of smiles.


    ��That��s very kind of you.��


    Taking the high-end tea gift from supervisor Elmer, Luo An''s face was filled with a smile.


    ?The fact that the other party was promoted to supervisor was indeed a bit unexpected by Luo An, but after thinking about it, Luo An also realized that this was a good thing.


    Needless to say, the reputation of the IRS in the federal government. In the federal movies every year, various people hack the FBI, CIA, and other government departments, but they dare not hack the IRS. This incident fully illustrates the image of the IRS in the hearts of federal people, and its Big boss status in the federation.


    IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division) is the boss of the boss of the IRS department. Now Elmer has become one of the directors of this department. As the leader of the FBI investigation team, Luo An worked with him The benefits of maintaining a good relationship definitely far outweigh the disadvantages.


    ?For example, when investigating certain cases in the future and encountering hard problems that are difficult to solve, as long as the situation and method are suitable, Luo An calls Director Elmer, and the other party will never hesitate to help him solve minor difficulties.


    The connections in IRS-CI are not something that ordinary people can have.


    In other words, most managers in federal law enforcement agencies do not have such connections.


    Elmer and Luo An chatted in a very harmonious atmosphere. After a brief exchange of greetings, Director Elmer took out a childlike invitation from his pocket and said with a smile:


    ��By the way, the day after tomorrow, that is Sunday night, I held a coming-of-age party for my eldest daughter. This is an invitation made by my younger daughter.��


    ? ?The coming-of-age ceremony is a unique ideological activity in the country of the Federation.


    For an ordinary federal family, adulthood means being independent, working part-time, paying rent and food expenses to the family, and even having children who move out directly.


    In wealthy families of the middle class and above, the coming-of-age ceremony is more of a social status, which means that from that day on, the child becomes an adult and needs to formally assume family responsibilities.


    Being invited by parents to attend their children''s coming-of-age dinner means that the relationship between the guests and the parents is very close and they are very good friends.


    ??Although Elmer was promoted to supervisor, he did not have a condescending attitude toward Luo An and still planned to treat Luo An as a friend.


    ??Like Luo An, Elmer also wanted to have a good relationship with Luo An.


    On the one hand, Luo An may not be able to bring him a large tax case in the future, allowing him to take another step forward.


    On the other hand, Luo An has excellent crime-solving skills and has support behind him. Moreover, he is so young and has a bright future. He will most likely go higher and further than himself in the future. Even if Elmer does not think about himself, he must do it for his next generation. Do consider. ��What a lucky girl.��


    ?Luo An accepted the invitation with a smile, and then chatted about the other party''s two children.


    Director Elmer and his wife have two children together. The eldest daughter will grow up this year and has a more stable personality. The second daughter will go to middle school next year and has a quirky and naughty personality.


    ��Don��t worry, I will definitely be there that night.��


    Luo An happened to have nothing to do that night on Sunday, and then he said that he would never be absent that night, and then laughed:


    ��I hope your daughter will like the gift I gave you that night.��


    ?Giving gifts is also a tradition in the Federation. Generally, the other party opens them on the spot to express gratitude. If a child from an ordinary family doesn''t like it, they will take it out and return it, and the person who gave the gift will not be angry.


    ��Team leader Luo An is so young and handsome. My daughter will definitely like the gift he gave me.��


    Director Elmer laughed, and the two chatted briefly about other topics. After a few minutes, Michelle walked up to them and nodded, indicating that there was nothing wrong with those documents.


    ��OK.��


    Roan��s smile became even brighter when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Director Elmer:


    ��Thank you for your hard work this time.��


    ��It��s nothing hard.��


    Director Elmer stood up, his eyes narrowed, and the word sincerity was written in his smile:


    ��Happy to work with!��


    ��Of course, happy to work with you!��


    The two shook their hands heavily, smiled at each other, and chatted for a few words. Director Elmer took the lead and left.


    After Luo An and Michelle sent the people away and turned back to the special investigation team office area, Mona, Chenille and others all gathered together. Lacey asked curiously:


    ��Roan, what is Team Leader Elmer here for?��


    ��Team leader Elmer has been promoted. Remember to call me supervisor Elmer next time we meet.��


    ??Luo An took out the folder from the conference room, patted Lacey''s head gently, and then said with a smile:


    ��He came to the Special Investigation Team today, so naturally he gave us a gift!��


    ??Lacie covered her head in confusion, and Mona, Chenelle and Winslow also looked suspicious.


    The gift Luo An mentioned refers to the previous case of [The Judge Hotel Sports Sniper Case] ??(Chapter 398). After it was detected, the suspect Trevion Sheffield��s companies, properties, illegal gains, etc. were Distribution of harvest after sale.


    According to normal circumstances, the time required to sell off those criminal properties is at least one year, maybe two or three years.


    But as Elmer was successfully promoted to supervisor, in the spirit of reciprocating kindness, Elmer immediately took the IRS agents and worked overtime to sell off the criminal property and allocate his share to the Special Investigation Team. .


    Director Elmer came to the Special Investigation Team today just to give money.


    According to the previous agreement, the mastermind behind the case, after the sale of Treveon-Sheffield''s criminal assets, the Special Investigation Team''s share is 44%, Director Elmer''s share is 31%, and the Department of Justice''s Chief Cecilia Investigation Team''s share is 25%. According to the distribution requirements, the Special Investigation Team received a total of US$4.84 million.


    ?In addition, when the IRS seized and processed Treveon-Sheffield''s criminal assets, the combined value of which was greater than $11 million, IRS-CI accounted for 60% and the Special Investigations Unit accounted for 40%.


    ?This 40% portion totaled about US$900,000. Adding in the previous US$4.84 million, the special investigation team��s harvest in that case totaled US$5.74 million!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 485： Distribute gains, calculate other gains, participate

    Chapter 485: Distributing the Harvest, Calculating Other Harvests, and Participating in the Banquet


    During the investigation and handling of the [Judge Hotel Sports Murder Case], the Special Investigation Team only consisted of Roan, Lacey, Mona and Michelle. Winslow and Chenelle had not yet joined the Special Investigation Team.


    So of the US$5.74 million, team leader Luo An received US$2 million, while Mona, Lacey and Michelle each received US$900,000.


    The remaining US$1.04 million was put into the activity funds of the special investigation team by Luo An.


    After the funds were allocated, Mona''s eyes lit up, she gave Luo An a look that only two people could understand, and turned back to her seat to continue typing on the computer.


    ? Michelle was not very good at expressing emotions. She just filled Luo An''s tea cup with water, then returned to her seat and silently helped Luo An write and organize all the files and reports on recent cases.


    "I love you to death!"


    Lacey was much more direct. When she saw the $900,000 she had received, she flushed and jumped excitedly to Luo An, hugged Luo An''s arm tightly, and then suddenly became serious and said:


    ��Luo An, how about you go for **** reassignment surgery, and I��ll marry you.��


    ����TM*#%��#��


    ?Luo An was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the folder and started chasing Lacey, the lawless Lesbian.


    Lacie covered her head and ran around to hide, and the whole office was suddenly filled with happy air.


    After a while, the fun was over. Luo An threw Lacey, who was covered with buns, to Mona, then waved his hand and turned back to the team leader''s office.


    ? Seeing Mona looking at herself with a smile, Lacey swallowed, showed an embarrassed expression, and explained:


    ��Mona, don��t get me wrong, I was just joking.��


    "I know."


    Mona nodded. Of course she knew what Lacey just said was a joke. Lacey''s Lesbian attributes were deeply rooted. The relationship between Roan and her was more like friends and brothers between men. Neither of them had any interest in each other. .


    But knowing that she knew it, Mona still decided to punish Lacey a little, not because of the joke Lacey just made to Luo An, but because Lacey accidentally knocked off Mona''s other laptop when she was running away. computer.


    Mona has always had a desktop computer and three laptops on her desk.


    When Luo An was in the No. 5 Investigation Team, after Luo An led the detectives to solve a case, his family members gave each member of the No. 5 Investigation Team a laptop.


    ??Mona was assigned a computer and stole another computer from Luo An. Later, she spent money to buy parts and assembled a computer by herself.


    ??In Lacey''s horrified eyes, Mona rolled up her sleeves and smiled, and stretched her claws to Lacey''s waist. By chance, Mona learned about Lacey''s most ticklish place.


    Regarding the "tragedy" that happened next to them, Michelle and Winslow, one blind and the other deaf, both typed on the keyboard leisurely, wrote reports and handled work.


    Chenelle said a few words to Mona to help Lacey beg for mercy, but while speaking, Chenelle silently grabbed Lacey''s hands trying to fight back against Mona.


    Lacie: ������


    Winslow and Chenille had no other ideas about matters that they did not share in the harvest of the case. They were very mature thinkers. They did not participate in the investigation and handling of the case, so naturally they did not share in the harvest.


    ??And Winslow and Chenelle were not in a hurry. Not long after joining the Special Investigation Unit, the two of them made money that they had not made for so many years of work.


    ?With Luo An��s ability and ability in solving crimes, they will have many opportunities to make money in the future.


    ?Back in the team leader''s office, Luo An turned on the computer on his desk, transferred US$2 million into his bank account, and then began to sort out and calculate the case-handling funds of the special investigation team.


    Since he became the leader of the special investigation team, Luo An has understood the feelings of August, the leader of the No. 5 investigation team.


    The vast majority of the case-handling funds of the August 5 investigation team come from the above-mentioned allocations. In addition, the team leader Veranis is a bit stingy...and saves a lot, so August''s life is not easy. Most of the time, the case-handling funds are not available. They are all quite nervous.


    Luo An is different. Although the funds given to him for handling cases are not large, he can always earn funds for the special investigation team on his own.


    Not only does it include the US$1.04 million earned in the [Judge Hotel Sports Sniper Case] ??just now, but after the previous [Death Case of the Odyson Family Villa] was solved, the special investigation team funded by Lacosa had US$10 million in case handling funds, and US$8 million. The US dollars were divided by Luo An and others, and there was still US$2 million left.


    ?Coupled with the previous cases handled by other special investigation teams and the various financial gains, the case-handling funds on the books of the special investigation team at this time have accumulated to 5.33 million US dollars.


    ����


    ??It��s not that he didn��t know, but he was shocked when he calculated it. Luo An never expected that the money would be accumulated so much.


    It makes sense if you think about it carefully. Every time the special investigation team handles a case, the main expenses are only three items:


    The gas expenses of the SUV; bus fares, meal expenses, etc. when each agent investigates the case; and ammunition expenses when going on a mission.


    ?In addition, the desk in the special investigation team''s office area was "gifted" by Luo An from other investigation teams; the computers used by the agents were also "gifted" by Luo An from other investigation teams. Even several SUVs from the special investigation team were still "given away" by Luo An by others.


    ?Coupled with Luo An''s excellent case-handling abilities, the special investigation team''s case-handling funds have always received far more money than it spent.


    Silently closing the computer page, Luo An became more determined to use the bus for private use.


    ����


    Sunday, evening.


    ?At the invitation of IRS-CI Director Elmer, Luo An wore a suit and took Mona, who was also dressed up, to the coming-of-age ceremony of Elmer��s eldest daughter.


    Elmer��s eldest daughter��s name is Xia Anne. Tonight��s coming-of-age ceremony dinner will be held in a small hotel that specializes in this industry.


    There were not many guests. Except for the classmates of the eldest daughter Xia Anne, the only ones left were immediate family members of Elmer''s family, and friends invited by Elmer who had a good relationship with the couple.


    "Good evening."


    ??Seeing Luo An walking into the hotel with Mona, Elmer and his wife immediately greeted them and briefly introduced the identities of the women on both sides. Luo An smiled and asked:


    ��We��re not too late.��


    ��No way, it won��t officially start until more than half an hour.��


    Elmer laughed and led the two of them into the depths of the hotel. Luo An briefly looked around and found that the dinner venue was mainly orange, dotted with balloons, and there were many daily photos of Xia Anni. The overall layout was... The feeling is very warm.


    After a brief chat, Mona was dragged by Elmer''s wife to the female guests to chat. Elmer apologized and left to entertain other guests. Roan picked up a glass of wine on the dining table and began to hang out.


    xihao.


    Just when Luo An was checking the photos in the venue, a female voice with a high sugar content suddenly came from behind. Luo An subconsciously turned around and found that it was a woman wearing a light blue dress with a beautiful face, but a little ordinary. strange young girl.


    "Hello."


    Luo An didn��t know who the other party was, so he said hello and asked with a smile:


    "Can I help you?"


    ��My name is Adeanna, Xia Anne��s classmate, what is your name?��


    ??The young girl blinked her surprisingly big eyes, raised her head slightly and looked at Luo An, and asked:


    ��You are not among Xia Anni��s classmates. Who invited you here? Can you tell me?��


    ��My name is Roan, Roan Greenwood.��


    Luo An didn��t understand what the girl in front of him wanted to do, so he smiled and replied:


    ��I am a friend of Xia Anne��s father.��


    ��Uncle Elmer��s friend? Also works for the IRS?��


    "Why do you ask?"


    ��Because you are very handsome.��


    ?Adanna picked up the wine glass filled with milk and clinked it with Luo An. She stared at Luo An unblinkingly and asked with a smile:


    ��Do you have a girlfriend? If not, I want to be your girlfriend.��


    Luo An: ������


    ��Stop it, Adeanna.��


    ?Just as Luo An was thinking about how to answer, a white man in his fifties, wearing a suit and a Mediterranean hairstyle, came over.


    He lightly patted Adriana on the shoulder, then smiled and stretched out his hand to Luo An:


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood, my name is Philip, from the CIA.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 486： Philips identity, the small goals set by Luo An

    Chapter 486 Philip��s identity, the small goal set by Luo An


    Sunday, evening, a small hotel.


    ??Philip, who had a Mediterranean hairstyle, stretched out his hand to Luo An with a smile on his face. Luo An shook his hand and said with a smile:


    ��Hello, just call me Luo An. This is the first time I��ve met someone who actively calls themselves cia.��


    The reputation of the CIA is not much better within the federal government.


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Philip chuckled and was about to answer. The young girl beside him, Adriana, took the lead and asked with curiosity:


    ��Luo An, Uncle Philip calls you the team leader. Which department are you the team leader?��


    ??Luo An smiled and did not answer the other party''s questions. Philip showed a hint of apology to Luo An, then snatched the wine glass from Adriana''s hand and said with a straight face:


    ��Stop making trouble, Adrianna, Group Leader Luo An and I need to discuss something. You can go and play with your classmates.��


    ??The wine glass was snatched away, and Adriana rolled her eyes at Phillip. Then she took out a golden business card from nowhere, stuffed it into Luo An''s suit pocket, and said with a smile:


    ��Leader Luo An, this is my business card and contact information. You are very handsome. I will definitely come back to you.


    ?Also, I will turn 18 in a month, and I will have the final say on my boyfriend from now on. "


    After saying that, Adriana turned around, looked at Philip wrinkled his nose and snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving the two of them with a beautiful back.


    ����


    ?Taking the golden business card out of his pocket, Luo An looked at it and put it aside, then asked with a smile:


    ��Could you please introduce this Ms. Adrianna?��


    ??Luo An naturally has no interest in Adrianna, but this kind of young people in the rebellious stage are generally difficult to deal with. The girl herself is not important, her parents are the targets that Luo An needs to pay attention to.


    ��Adeanna��s father is the assistant director of the IRS, and her mother works at a Hollywood film company.��


    Philip briefly introduced the identity of Ediana''s parents and said that he didn''t need to worry about it. Ediana was just a little spoiled. If he saw her pestering her in the future, he could just call her parents directly.


    ? Luo An smiled when he heard this, clinked wine glasses with Phillip, and changed the topic from this girl to other aspects.


    ��Leader Luo An, I heard your name a long time ago at the FBI headquarters in Washington.��


    ?Philipp and Luo An walked to the sofa in the corner of the banquet, sat down together, and said with a smile:


    ��The 25-year-old leader of the special investigation team is really a powerful young man.��


    ��That was last year.��


    ?Luo An put down the wine glass, picked up the grapes on the table, ate one, and said with a smile:


    ��I am 26 years old this year. I am already old.��


    ����


    ??Hearing Luo An, who was less than thirty years old, say that he was old, Philip, who was about to turn fifty, suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth and his head was covered with black lines.


    ? Luo An continued to eat the fruit leisurely, pretending not to notice the expression on the other person''s face.


    Luo An didn''t know what he wanted to do with this inexplicable contact with Philip in front of him. Since the other party kept going around in circles, Luo An was not in a hurry. Luo An liked to do this kind of nonsense all over the world.


    After a while, Luo An talked about the signs of life activity deep in the Mariana Trench from the smell of various fruits on the table. Philip, whose eyelids were twitching, finally couldn''t sit still anymore. He coughed lightly and asked:


    ��Leader Luo An, how do you feel about the work of the CIA?��


    ��Feeling average.��


    Hearing this question, Luo An''s eyes flashed with light, then he shook his head and replied:


    ��I have seen the work of the CIA overseas. It is too dangerous and far less safe than within the federal territory... although the federal territory is not particularly safe.��


    Luo An glanced at Philip calmly. Could this guy be trying to recruit him to the CIA and then let him work overseas?


    ��You��re right, the CIA��s overseas work is too dangerous.��


    What Roan didn��t expect was that Philip didn��t deny what he said, but nodded with an expression of ��It��s true�� on his face, and then suddenly said:


    ��However, there are also some jobs in government departments outside the federal government that are not as dangerous as the CIA.��


    ? Luo An didn��t answer and continued to taste the fruits on the table.


    ??Elmer really paid enough attention to his eldest daughter''s coming-of-age ceremony today. Not only were all the fruits on the table fresh enough, but they were also rich in variety, many of which Luo An had never seen before.


    ����


    ?Seeing that Luo An didn''t answer his words, Phillip almost couldn''t breathe, and he forgot all about the draft he had prepared in his stomach.


    ?With his eyelids twitching and taking a deep breath, Philip finally stopped beating around the bush and asked directly:


    ��Leader Luo An, are you interested in the work of the federal embassy in other countries?��


    Luo An raised his eyebrows, turned around and asked in surprise:


    ��Mr. Philip, don��t you work in the CIA?��


    ?Philip picked up the wine glass and took a sip, saying that the CIA was only one of his jobs, and he also worked at the DIA.


    DIA, the Federal Defense Intelligence Agency, is the main foreign military intelligence organization under the federal Ministry of Defense. It is the superior management agency of the federal defense attach�� system. It is mainly responsible for dispatching foreign military attach��s, federal embassies and consulates in other countries, and other work.


    Luo An suddenly realized that it seemed that the CIA was most likely a cover given to him by Philip, and he was actually working for the DIA. The federal government has a total of 18 intelligence agencies including the FBI, CIA, NSA (National Security Agency), DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence), etc.


    ?When going out to perform missions, you use my skin, and I use your skin, layer by layer, so that other departments take the blame and get scolded. This kind of thing is not new in the Federation.


    ?Luo An touched his chin and said:


    ��I��ve never seen the work of an embassy before.��


    Philip''s eyes lit up when he heard this, and just as he was about to continue speaking, Luo An smiled and shook his head, pointed at the host who started to speak on stage not far away, and said:


    ��Mr. Philip, the coming-of-age ceremony has officially begun, and it��s time to give gifts.��


    The idea of ??going to other countries to fight for the Federation through life and death has never entered Luo An''s mind.


    ?Solve crimes, send some murderers to prison, earn some money on the way, and enjoy the boring and decadent capitalist life in the Federation. Having more money and less things to do and being close to home is what Luo An likes most in his life.


    After understanding the other person''s thoughts, Luo An continued to chat with him briefly, and then stood up and left under Philip''s helpless eyes.


    After giving the prepared gift to Elmer��s eldest daughter, and sitting with Mona to taste the food, Luo An frowned slightly, and a lot of thoughts flashed through his mind.


    ??As his performance gets better and better and his status gets higher and higher, he will definitely attract more people''s attention in the future. Philip will definitely not be the last person to issue a solicitation.


    The people who appear now have average status and abilities, so Luo An doesn''t care.


    But if a tough-minded person with the same or even higher status than Mr. Clement appears in the future and this person wants to recruit Luo An, Luo An really has no suitable way to refuse.


    ?Even worse, think about whether someone will take advantage of your weakness and force you to do things for him.


    ?This kind of thing is not impossible to happen in the Federation.


    ?Suddenly, Luo An felt Mona bumping him lightly. He turned his head and found Mona asking with confusion on her face:


    ��Luo An, what are you thinking about?��


    ��I��m thinking of a line from a movie.��


    ��What line?��


    ��People must rely on themselves.��


    Facing the confused Mona, Luo An narrowed his eyes and grinned.


    The Federation is a capitalist country, where money = power = status.


    The formula is not rigorous, but the principle behind it is similar.


    ?Luo An swallowed the food in his mouth, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he silently set a small goal for himself:


    Earned US$2 billion before the financial crisis.


    When the financial crisis officially breaks out, use these 2 billion to make 10 billion!


    The coming-of-age ceremony dinner was over. Luo An exchanged a few words with Elmer��s family and turned to leave. Halfway through, Mona in the passenger seat suddenly asked:


    ��Luo An, what��s going on with that girl?��


    ?Luo An, who was driving, yawned:


    ��She thinks I��m handsome and wants to be my girlfriend.��


    "Yeah?"


    ??Mona narrowed her eyes slightly, stretched out her hand and grabbed Luo An''s thigh:


    ��Then how did you answer?��


    ��I��ve thrown away my business card, how can I answer this?��


    Luo An��s expression suddenly changed and he said seriously:


    ��Mona, I��m driving.��


    ��You do your thing, I do mine, don��t disturb each other.��


    ����Fu-k!��


    Luo An''s eyelids twitched and he quickly drove the car into a dark alley.


    ? Luo An had seen similar cases in the FBI files before, and he didn''t want a car to crash and kill anyone.


    ?Mona raised her head with doubts on her face:


    ��Why did the car stop?��


    ��What do you think?��


    ? Luo An grinned and turned off the car. This car was difficult to drive. He wanted to drive in another car!

 Chapter 487： Lacey talks San Fernando Valley, new cases

    Chapter 487 Lacey talks about San Fernando Valley, new case


    The next day, Monday of the new week.


    ??Lacie looked exhausted, yawning as she pushed the door open and walked into the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    "Good morning."


    "Good morning."


    ?Winslow threw a packet of breakfast to Lacey and asked with a smile:


    ��Which bar did you spend your Saturday weekend in vain?��


    There are four women in the special investigation team. Michelle is quite quiet, focusing on handling her work and showing her role in front of Luo An.


    Chenelle didn''t talk much most of the time except when she was on a mission. Mona didn''t talk much when she was busy working on the computer. Only Lacey was carefree and like a chatterbox every day, so Winslow came to the special investigation. Not long after we formed the group, Lacey and I became good brothers.


    The two of them also occasionally go out to have fun together. Lacey likes young girls under the age of 25, and Winslow likes mature women over the age of 30.


    The two have different goals and there is no conflict. Sometimes they even cover for each other.


    When Luo An and others learned about this, they were all speechless.


    ��Forget it, I accidentally looked at it last night.��


    Taking the breakfast that Winslow threw for her, Lacey opened it and ate it. While eating, she said:


    ��Remember the ��Black Jasmine�� bar we went to together before?


    I was in that bar yesterday and met two young girls who looked like college students. "


    Winslow looked curious:


    "Then what?"


    ��Those two girls are actually actors who went to Hollywood to pursue their dreams, and they didn��t even finish high school.��


    Lacie finished her breakfast in two bites and complained:


    ��If I hadn��t reacted quickly enough, I would have been deceived by them last night.��


    Chenelle��s ears perked up quietly. Winslow was a little confused and asked:


    ��What can they lie to you about?��


    ��Money, of course, and even getting sick.��


    Lacie shook her head and explained:


    ��Every year, more than 60% of the young girls who come to Hollywood and dream of becoming famous overnight go to the nearby San Fernando Valley.


    ??The San Fernando Valley is a mixed bag, and these girls are lucky enough to find a reliable company.


    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????


    ? San Fernando Valley, located 30 kilometers northwest of Los Angeles, covers an area of ??895 square kilometers and is known as the "Hollywood of the **** industry". There are approximately more than 300 **** production companies located here.


    ?Once those girls signed up for a company in the San Fernando Valley, they lost their chance of ever making a name for themselves in Hollywood.


    Winslow frowned slightly when he heard this. Before he could speak, Lacey raised her head and drank a large cup of coffee. Then she took a deep breath and asked:


    ��Have Mona and Michelle not come to work yet?��


    At present, in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, there are only Lacey, Winslow and Chenelle, and the rest of the seats are empty.


    ��They are here, but they were called away by Luo An just now.��


    Just as Cheniel was about to continue explaining, Luo An suddenly appeared at the door of the special investigation team''s office area, patted the door hard, and said loudly:


    ��Everyone, stop chatting and go downstairs quickly. Our special investigation team has a new case!��


    "clear!"


    After hearing this, the three of them quickly got up and walked out. Lacey stopped halfway, turned around and ran back to the office area quickly, taking away the other packages of breakfast that Winslow had not eaten.


    ? Winslow: ������


    ����


    ?Two dark SUVs were driving forward quickly on the streets of Los Angeles.


    Turning on the communicator, Luo An, sitting in the passenger seat of the first SUV, fiddled with the folder in his hand and introduced:


    ��Everyone, today is a bank robbery.��


    ? Los Angeles, home to the world-famous film center Hollywood, is the second largest city in the Commonwealth and is known as the "City of Angels".


    ?At the same time, the city is also known for its high crime rate.


    Let��s not talk about common cases such as knife robbery, armed robbery, rape, and homicide. On average, 6-8 bank robberies occur every day in Los Angeles.


    ?? Once a bank on a street corner in southern Los Angeles was robbed 11 times in 24 hours, and it immediately reached the top of the robberies record.


    ?However, the losses to that bank were not that big, because except for the first four robbers who returned home with a lot of money, the next seven robbers almost went in vain and did not get much money. In this case, an ordinary bank robbery would not require the dispatch of a special investigation team.


    Some ordinary agents from the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) and the FBI will come out to record the case and then try to catch the bank robbers.


    ��So, this bank robbery is unusual, and that��s why we were asked to take action?��


    In the back seat of the second SUV, Lacey pressed the communicator while eating and asked:


    ��What exactly happened when the crime occurred? Did many people die?��


    Didn��t answer Lacey because Luo An didn��t know the specific situation.


    Less than ten minutes, the Special Investigation Team''s SUV arrived at the bank that had been robbed.


    ??This bank''s building is very tall and not far from Hollywood. It is called "First Republic Bank of California".


    ? ?First Republic Bank of California was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in San Francisco. It specializes in financial management services for "high-net-worth individuals" and provides low-interest loans to the wealthy. It ranks 14th among federal commercial banks in terms of asset size.


    At this time, the LAPD had put up a cordon outside the bank. Many curious people gathered to discuss or looked up into the bank. There were also many news reporters filming the scene or conducting live news broadcasts.


    Showing the FBI''s golden badge to the LAPD in charge, Luo An quickly walked into the bank with five agents from the special investigation team.


    ?The scene inside the bank was very chaotic. There were hostages temporarily controlled by the LAPD and there was also a lot of white sewage on the ground.


    Roan waved his hand, Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey immediately went to calm the hostages and ask for clues. Michelle and Mona went to check the surveillance. Roan walked up to a LAPD sergeant and asked:


    ��What is the specific situation?��


    ��This group of robbers is a well-trained group of guys.��


    LAPD sergeant stretched out his hand to shake Luo An��s hand and introduced the case in detail:


    ��The robbery happened 15 minutes ago. There were 6 robbers in total, and they all had weapons in their hands.


    They robbed a maintenance vehicle that had not yet been reported missing. After parking the vehicle in front of the bank, they took a "temporarily closed" sign and hung it on the door. "


    Luo An picked up the sign and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows:


    ��This doesn��t seem to be the brand of this bank.��


    ��Indeed not.��


    The police sergeant spread his hands and said:


    ��It looks like a movie prop, but the people outside don��t know what��s going on. When they see this sign, no one knocks on the door and comes in.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An nodded and put the sign aside. Upon seeing this, the police chief continued:


    ��After this group of people broke into the bank, they had a clear division of labor. The three of them were responsible for controlling the situation. They quickly rushed all the employees in the bank lobby together and ordered them to lie down on the ground.


    Then they took away their mobile phones, put them all in a big box, and then filled the box with water. "


    Bringing the box over, he showed Luo An the mobile phone that had been soaked in water until it was scrapped. The police chief pointed to the white sewage everywhere on the ground and said:


    ��After taking control of the hostages, the three robbers began to sprinkle water in the hall. According to the test, it was all bleach.��


    ?Luo An nodded:


    ��Cover up the traces.��


    ��Yeah.��


    The police sergeant then led Luo An towards the bank vault door and said:


    ��Three other robbers got the keys from the bank manager.


    ?After the time lock on the bank vault was lifted, they threatened the bank manager with a gun and opened the vault door with the password. "


    ? Time lock is an anti-theft device found in bank vaults. That is, the bank vault door cannot be opened even with a password before the preset time is reached.


    ??Luo An rubbed his temples. This group of bank robbers knew about the time lock, which meant that either the robbers had conducted a detailed investigation, or there was an insider in the bank.


    ?Suppressing the two guesses in his mind and leaving them for subsequent investigation, Luo An asked:


    "what''s next?"


    ��Then the three robbers broke into the vault...��


    The police chief continued to introduce. At the same time, a white mist suddenly appeared inside the vault.


    Luo An''s face changed drastically when he saw this, and he pulled the police sergeant back quickly, because for the first time, the danger perception in his mind was as crazy as an electric motor installed!

 Chapter 488： Emergency situation! Horrible death!

    Chapter 488 An unexpected situation! Horrible death!


    Near Hollywood, First Republic Bank of California.


    Because a bank robbery occurred here, the small square area outside the high-rise building was surrounded by passers-by watching the theater and news media workers.


    ?In the lobby inside the bank, there are many bank employees who were threatened by the robbers and turned into hostages, as well as customers who came to handle business just after the bank opened.


    ?Some LADP police officers and several detectives from the Special Investigation Team were sitting on chairs with them, comforting their emotions while asking for clues on the robbers, such as their voice, language, skin color, and whether there were scars or tattoos.


    ? Continuing deeper into the bank hall, there is a very thick round iron door less than five meters to the right rear.


    ?The iron door has both a time lock, a fingerprint lock and a password lock, and the precautions are very strict.


    ?Stepping into the iron gate, there is a brightly lit corridor.


    On the left side of the corridor, there is a room called the vault, which is responsible for the temporary storage of cash. On the right side, there is a room full of large and small metal cabinets, called the safe vault, which is responsible for storing various customer secret requests.


    At the end of the right side of the corridor, there is an elevator going down. You must have a password, fingerprint, and iris to activate it.


    At the end of the elevator, there is the bank''s vault. The vault door requires several layers of complex passwords to open.


    ?This time the robbers had no idea of ??gold, the elevator was still intact and not running, and the vault was safe and sound.


    But the vault above where the cash was stored and the safe room full of cabinets were both ransacked.


    In the center of the vault, there is a metal table used to store cash. At this time, more than half of the cash on it has been lost.


    A third of the metal cabinet in the safe vault was broken open by violence, and the items in the cabinet were looted. There were only a large number of metal boxes on the ground that were not wanted by the robbers, and some papers or notes whose contents were unknown. .


    ?When the special investigation team arrived at the bank, there was a bank manager and several bank employees working with the LAPD to calculate the specific damage to the two houses.


    ? Luo An was planning to enter the safe room and the vault together with the LAPD sergeant to simply check for any useful clues. At this moment, a white mist suddenly poured out from the safe room.


    In the dangerous perception of the mind, such as the madly shocking warning of the motor, Luo An''s face transformed, and immediately pulled the LAPD sheriff around him to retreat, and yelled at the same time:


    ��Everyone! Get out of the bank quickly!��


    The bank hall has been echoing with the low-noise buzz of people communicating. Luo An''s sudden shout shocked everyone, and the buzz suddenly stopped. After reacting, many people frowned, and the buzz started again. :


    ��What?��


    "who''s that person?"


    ��What did he just say?��


    ��He told us to leave.��


    "Why?"


    Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey from the Special Investigation Team reacted instantly. This was the first time they saw such an anxious look on Luo An''s face, so the three of them quickly got up and drove the people around them out. shouted:


    ��Everyone! Get out of here!��


    ��Hurry up! Get out of here!��


    The white mist spread very quickly. Luo An''s pupils shrank suddenly when he saw this scene. He didn''t care about the problem of verbal expression and kicked him a few times without reacting. The LAPD police officers and some female bankers were dawdling. The employee roared:


    ��Mother-Fu-ker! Get out of here all of you!��


    With an angry shout, Luo An pushed the LAPD sergeant beside him away, loudly ordered him to take people out of here quickly, and then rushed into the control room not far away at a very fast speed.


    In the control room, Mona, Michelle and a bank employee were studying computers and handling surveillance work. Luo An suddenly broke in and startled the three of them.


    Just as Mona was about to ask, Luo An no longer cared about explaining. He loudly ordered the bank employees to evacuate the place quickly. Then he grabbed Mona and Michelle and ran out of the bank with the two of them.


    ??Although the LAPD sergeant didn��t understand what was going on, he quickly maintained order at the scene and asked everyone to leave quickly.


    As soon as Luo An ran out of the bank with Mona and Michelle in his arms, the female bank deputy manager who had been kicked by him ran over with an angry face, preparing to slap Luo An:


    ��You **** FBI! Why did you just...��


    "roll!"


    ??Luo An was too lazy to discuss with the female bank deputy manager and pushed her aside directly, asking Mona and Michelle to call an ambulance quickly, and then ran to the bank lobby again.


    ?There were several witnesses in the bank lobby who witnessed the scene where the robbers ran away. Among them was a young woman who was holding her five-year-old daughter to write notes. Winslow and Chenelle ran out with the mother and daughter, but due to the obstruction of some people in front, they were blocked behind the crowd.


    ??Just as the last few people were about to leave the bank hall, the mother and daughter suddenly fell forward and fell to the ground for some unknown reason. Winslow and Chenelle hurriedly prepared to help them, but suddenly they both felt their heads became a little dizzy.


    ��Don��t sleep!��


    Luo An, who ran to the door of the bank, supported Winslow and Chenelle, and asked the two LAPDs to force them to exit the bank lobby quickly. Then Luo An picked up the little girl and her mother and quickly evacuated. Bank door.


    ��What are you doing there?��


    "what happens?"


    ��Why are everyone running outside?��


    ??Onlookers in the square outside the bank saw everyone suddenly running out of the gate, and their faces were filled with doubts and they were discussing in low voices.


    Some news media workers suddenly became excited when they saw the scene where Luo An slapped down a female bank clerk.


    ??Many of these journalists knew Luo An''s identity. They immediately took photos and videos of the scene where the female bank employee fell to the ground. They immediately thought of the news headline for this moment.


    But before these people could finish taking photos, something more terrifying happened before their eyes:


    ?The three LAPD and bank employees who were at the end and had not had time to run out of the bank hall suddenly rolled their eyes and fell to the ground. They struggled and twitched a few times and then stopped moving.


    ??The male bank security guard who was closest to the bank door lay on the ground, clutching his neck with his left hand, and stretched his right hand forward to grab the ground and leave the hall. The next second, he lost his breath.


    ??The bank security guard was less than ten centimeters away from the bank entrance. The scene of a death with a ferocious face immediately made everyone outside widen their eyes. They were confused and at the same time backed away with fear on their faces:


    ��Oh-My-God!��


    ��What happened in the bank?��


    ��What the **** is that?��


    ?The LAPD and bank employees who were lucky enough to survive outside the bank were soaked in cold sweat when they saw this scene.


    The LAPD sergeant also had all the hair on his body standing on end. He quickly ran to Luo An and helped Luo An take away the unconscious mother and daughter. At the same time, he asked in horror:


    ��Team Leader Luo An! What happened inside?��


    ?Hearing the Sheriff''s question, everyone nearby turned their heads and turned their attention to Luo An. They also wanted to know what happened.


    ??Roan did not answer the Sheriff''s question, but first walked to Winslow and Chenelle to examine the situation.


    ?Seeing that the two of them had fallen into a coma, Luo An''s face suddenly darkened.


    .


    ??Mona came over with a mobile phone, her face was also very ugly, and she whispered:


    ��The ambulance from the nearby hospital will be here soon, and I have already called the team leader.��


    ��Not enough.��


    ?Luo An shook his head and said coldly:


    ��Continue to call the Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate of the FBI Homeland Security Division, the FBI Hazardous Materials Team, the Los Angeles Division of the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona nodded heavily, turned around and pulled Michelle to the side and started making calls.


    Lacey, who had been performing chest compressions on Chenelle and Winslow next to her, had been doing chest compressions for a long time to no avail. She raised her head, her eyes were red, and she bit her back molars and asked:


    ��Luo An, what��s going on in the bank hall?��


    At this time, Luo An had calmed down, his face expressionless, but his voice was as cold as ice, and he replied:


    ��It��s most likely poisonous gas.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 489： [Bank robbery and gas murder]

    Chapter 489 [Bank Robbery and Gas Murder]


    ? Facts have proved that Luo An��s guess was correct.


    Ten minutes later, staff from the FBI''s Weapons of Mass Destruction Bureau, FBI Hazardous Materials Team, the Los Angeles Branch of the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other departments arrived at the scene. After conducting some tests, they determined that the horrific The culprit behind the scene is poisonous gas composed of botulinum toxin.


    At this time, the twenty-story tall building of the First Republic Bank of California was already empty, and there was no sign of anyone around the outer square.


    ??More than a dozen staff members wearing yellow and white professional anti-infection isolation suits and professional gas masks were carefully handling the bodies in the bank building.


    ?In the bank lobby, there were three deceased people who had not had time to run out. They were a male LAPD police officer, a female bank employee, and a male bank security guard.


    Two female employees lost their lives in the vault where cash was stored behind the circular iron door.


    ?In a safe vault filled with metal cabinets, two LAPD police officers, two female bank employees, and a male bank manager died.


    Fortunately, because the First Republic Bank of California was robbed by robbers just after it opened in the morning, there were not many employees above the building.


    ?The poisonous gas traveled along the central air conditioner and did not kill these employees on the spot. Only some of them fell into a coma and could be rescued.


    Winslow, Chenelle, and the mother and daughter were rushed to the hospital in time and the amount of poisonous gas they inhaled was small. They were also rescued and are currently sleeping in the advanced care unit.


    Potente Byrne, the team leader, also arrived at the scene. This case was so big that the mayor of Los Angeles, the director of the FBI Los Angeles branch, and even the governor of California called him to inquire about the situation.


    ??On the street corner more than ten meters diagonally opposite the building, there are several square column parasols, forming a temporary command center.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Behind the command center, Potente Byrne hung up the governor''s phone and cursed a few times with an extremely ugly face. Then he walked to Luo An and asked in a deep voice:


    ��How is the on-site handling going?��


    ��The culprit responsible for the accident has been found.��


    Roan pointed, and Potente-Born followed the guidance. There was a large transparent glass box placed on the table not far away.


    The lid of the glass box has a red hazard sign with three yellow semicircles printed in the center.


    Inside the glass box, there is a blue metal bottle that is as thick as an adult''s arm and is placed quietly.


    ��A bottle filled with botulinum toxin gas.��


    Luo An looked away from the hospital in the distance and replied:


    ��The protection staff told me that it was full of botulinum toxin, which is botulinum toxin.


    After dilution, it is an excellent product to help women smooth wrinkles.


    But in high concentrations, it is the deadliest and most terrifying poison in the world.


    It only takes a few seconds for it to paralyze a person and then lead to death from suffocation. "


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    After listening to Roan��s explanation, Potente-Byrne cursed a few words in a low voice again, and then asked:


    ��Have you figured out who sent this bottle of poison gas into the bank?��


    ��Under investigation, but there is a high probability that it will not be found out.��


    Luo An pointed to the bank manager not far away who was put into a professional body bag by staff wearing protective clothing. He frowned and replied:


    ��This bottle of poison gas was found in the security vault.


    ??The business of that safe warehouse is to help some people store secret items. As for who the person''s true identity is and what items he stores in the metal cabinet, the bank does not ask or know.


    When the security personnel entered the safe vault, the bottle of poisonous gas was lying on the ground. No one knew which metal cabinet it was taken from.


    ??There is a high probability that after the group of bank robbers found it, they found it useless and worthless, so they threw it aside.


    ?Then the bank manager took several employees to check the lost items, and accidentally opened it by accident. "


    Eighty percent of the people in the world would not be able to recognize poisonous gas immediately.


    ??People who are a little more curious may even come up and give it a sniff.


    Then��


    There''s no after that.


    In a few seconds, enough poison gas filled the room, and everyone lost their lives before they even reacted.


    ??Had Luo An not reacted quickly enough, it is probably unknown how many people in the bank hall would have survived today. The entire army may be wiped out.


    Potente-Bourne closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. He was silent for a long time. He took a deep breath and said:


    ��So, these are two cases, a bank robbery and a poison gas possession case, right?��


    No country in the world, East or West, allows private ownership of poisonous gas.


    ?Luo An nodded:


    ��If no department or laboratory comes forward to say that this bottle belongs to them, then there is a high probability that it will be two cases.��


    ��Fu-k!��


    When Potente Byrne heard this, he cursed angrily again.


    ?Potent-Byrne said this word more times today than Roan has said it since he met him.


    ?After a moment of silence, Potente-Byrne then asked:


    ��Luo An, do you have any clues about this case?��


    ��Sir, I have a question.��


    "explain."


    ��Which one should investigate the gas case first or the bank robbers first?��


    This issue is very important. The special investigation team, including the team leader Luo An, has a total of six people.


    ?? Winslow and Chenelle are currently lying in the hospital after accidentally inhaling poisonous gas while rescuing people. The special investigation team is missing two pillars and is back to its original four-person status.


    In this case, the two cases must be investigated in order, and it is impossible to handle them at the same time.


    ��Check the poison gas case first!��


    Potente-Bourne pulled Roan aside and said in a solemn voice:


    ��This gas case is serious, no, very serious.��


    ?He briefly stated the situation on the phone just now, and finally said with a serious face:


    ��Luo An, you must do your best to investigate this case as quickly as possible.


    If any department fails to cooperate during this period, please call me immediately and I will definitely resolve it as quickly as possible.


    ??If I can''t solve it, I''ll go to the director of our FBI Los Angeles branch; if the director still can''t solve it, I''ll go to the mayor or the governor of California! "


    Since the 9/11 incident, attacks in public places have become a nightmare for federal people.


    ??This case is so big that it has already made headlines in Los Angeles. Not surprisingly, the entire federal government will know about it in a few hours.


    Potente-Byrne is under a lot of pressure, but he does not panic because he still holds the trump card of Luo An, the leader of the special investigation team.


    Potente-Bourne has confidence in Luo An. As long as he resists the pressure from above and does not let some messy things disturb Luo An, Luo An will definitely be able to handle this case!


    ��Yes, sir.��


    Getting the answer, Luo An nodded and agreed.


    After briefly continuing the discussion with Potente Byrne, Luo An did not start investigating the case directly. Instead, he temporarily handed over the scene to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other departments, and then took Mona, Lacey and Michelle to a different location. The hospital in the distance.


    Not long after Luo An and others left, Potente Byrne also left here.


    ?But before that, Potente-Byrne made a phone call to suppress the matter that Luo An had pushed to a female bank deputy manager and banned the Los Angeles mainstream media from reporting it. He did not want these things to affect Luo An.


    ??The mainstream media in Los Angeles were also happy to sell the FBI a favor, but some small media still reported the matter, but it was quickly suppressed by the reports of the large media.


    When they arrived at the hospital, they saw Winslow and Chenelle lying unconscious on the bed in the ward. Lacey cursed in a low voice. Mona and Michelle frowned. Roan was silent for a while and pulled over a nurse. asked:


    ��Will they leave any sequelae in the future?��


    "this��"


    The nurse was hesitating how to answer when Lacey''s cell phone next to her suddenly rang. She pressed the answer button and listened briefly, then handed the phone to Luo An:


    ��Looking for you.��


    ?Luo An frowned slightly and took the phone:


    ��Hello, Roan Greenwood.��


    ��The car driven by the bank robbers has been found.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 490： Rams successors

    Chapter 490 Ram��s Successors


    The person on the other end of the phone who called Luo An was someone from the LAFD (Los Angeles Fire Department).


    ??So many people died in today''s bank robbery + gas case, coupled with the publicity of major media, the whole of Los Angeles knew about it.


    Every law enforcement agency quickly learned that the person responsible for the case was the Special Investigation Team of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch, so they immediately called Luo An after discovering the clues.


    ��Thank you, I��ll be there right away.��


    Getting the specific address of the robber''s abandoned vehicle, Luo An simply thanked him and hung up the phone.


    ?Throwing the phone to Lacey, Roan glanced at Winslow and Chenelle who were unconscious in the ward, then quickly turned around and left the hospital building.


    As soon as he walked to the hospital parking lot, Luo An suddenly thought of something and turned around and said:


    ��By the way, Michelle, go to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Once the test results come out, call me immediately.��


    Botulinum toxin is a special pathogen that grows in soil and has anaerobic properties, which means that oxygen can kill it.


    But this kind of thing cannot be made casually, especially a whole bottle of poison gas, which means that the person who made it has quite complete experimental equipment.


    When the staff of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention arrived at the scene, Luo An had asked them to seize the time to collect the pathogens left at the scene, go back and conduct tests, analyze the genome of the botulinum toxin in the air, and determine where the bottle of poisonous gas came from.


    ��OK, I��ll go to the lab right now.��


    Michelle nodded heavily upon hearing this, turned around and walked quickly in the other direction.


    ?Mona and Lacey got into the SUV, Luo An stepped on the accelerator and drove the vehicle towards the location mentioned by LAFD.


    ?While waiting for the traffic light at an intersection, Luo An suddenly tilted his head and asked:


    ��Mona, how is the monitoring situation at the bank?��


    "Very bad."


    ??Mona frowned when she heard this, and without making any move to open her laptop, she directly spread her hands and said:


    ��The surveillance videos of that bank are all saved on the disk at the back of the computer.


    The staff in the control room said that as soon as the robbers broke into the bank, they entered the control room and pulled out all the disks.


    ??One of the robbers first threw the disks into a box filled with water to soak for a while, and then put them in the microwave in the rest area. After starting the microwave, the disks exploded together with the microwave, causing complete damage beyond repair. "


    ��We met a very well-trained group of guys this time.��


    After Mona finished speaking, Lacey in the back seat of the car sighed with emotion, and then counted the actions of the robbers with her fingers:


    ��There were six robbers in total. When they entered the bank, they first took out a ��Closed for Business�� sign and hung it at the door to prevent anyone from entering.


    ? ?Three people controlled the scene, herded the hostages together to prevent anyone from pressing the alarm device, and then took away their mobile phones and disks in the control room, throwing them all into a box and soaking them in water.


    ??The other three men held the manager hostage and walked to the big iron gate. They waited for the time lock to open and asked the manager to use the password and fingerprint to open the big iron gate. Then they entered the safe and vault to withdraw money and open the box.


    ? In less than ten minutes, several people completed their actions. They took out the prepared bleach liquid and spread it everywhere to erase any fingerprints or other traces they might have left. The last few people quickly exited the bank and drove away before the police discovered anything unusual. "


    ��Really a group of talents.��


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and was silent for a few seconds before asking:


    ��Lacie, did the hostages at the scene see the characteristics of the robbers?


    Such as tattoos or scars. "


    ��No, no clue.��


    Lacie shook her head and explained:


    ��The robbers were all wearing black clothes, black pants and black gloves, with several circles of tape wrapped around their wrists to prevent the gloves from falling off.


    On their heads, these people all wore poker masks that only had their eyes missing and covered their necks.


    The hostages could not clearly see the specific faces of the robbers. The only thing they were sure of was that judging from the position of their eyes, the robbers were all white. "


    ?After hearing what Lacey said, Mona frowned:


    ��So, we actually didn��t get any useful clues about this group of robbers?��


    ��No, there are still some.��


    Luo An chuckled and said:


    ��At least we know that there are six robbers in total, and the weapons they hold are AR-15 automatic rifles.


    ?Also, Lacey, what are the patterns on the six people��s playing card masks? �� ? ? Lacey thought for a while and replied:


    ��A big king, a small king, a red ace, a red 3, a black 4 and a black 8.


    ?The three people in the front go in to grab the money, and the three people in the back are responsible for controlling the field. "


    ��Clear division of labor, tacit cooperation, quick action, and careful planning.��


    ? Luo An turned the steering wheel, drove the SUV into another street, and said with a smile:


    ��Another group of inheritors of ��Ram Technology��.��


    ?Mona and Lacey were speechless when they heard this. They knew who the "Ram" in Luo An''s mouth was.


    ??The SUV quickly arrived at the address mentioned by LAFD. It was a small parking lot, not too far from the scene of the bank robbery.


    When Luo An and the other three arrived, several Los Angeles firefighters were holding two large water pipes to extinguish a burning van.


    ��Hello, Roan Greenwood.��


    ??Ten meters away from the fire-fighting site, Luo An took out the FBI''s golden badge, briefly introduced his identity, and asked:


    ��What exactly is going on?��


    ��A passer-by called the police.��


    ?An LAPD sergeant reached out and shook hands with Luo An, then pointed at the white young man with a lot of freckles on his face who was communicating with Lacey not far away and said:


    ��He was riding a bicycle waiting for his girlfriend in this area and called the police when he saw the burning car.


    When we came here and took a look, we found that this car turned out to be the car abandoned by the group of bank robbers. "


    ��OK, good work.��


    ?? Luo An briefly exchanged a few words with the police chief. Seeing that it would take some time to put out the fire not far away, he turned and walked towards the young man holding a bicycle beside him.


    "Hello."


    ��Hello, just call me Allen. You are the FBI��s Team Leader Greenwood, right? You are so handsome!��


    ??The boy named Allen looked to be underage. While shaking hands with Luo An, he kept talking and said with excitement on his face:


    ��That car on fire was the car driven by the bank robbers, right?


    so cool! I really didn''t expect that a story like this in a movie would happen before my eyes!


    Oh, I''m sorry, Captain Greenwood, I didn''t mean that the robbers were powerful, I meant... um..."


    ��OK, I know what you want to say.��


    ??Luo An chuckled. He could understand what the young boy in front of him was thinking. He asked directly without saying anything critical:


    ��Besides the scene of the car on fire, did you see anything else?��


    ??Allan shrugged and said that when he arrived here on his bicycle, he only saw a black 8-seater MPV, also known as a station wagon, passing quickly in front of the burning van.


    What should be a lighter was thrown from the rear window of the black MPV, and then the van burst into flames.


    Luo An and Lacey looked at each other and both guessed the situation at that time.


    ?Before Allen arrived here, the group of robbers had already moved their money and guns from the van they used to rob the bank to a black MPV they had prepared here in advance.


    Considering that there was a strong smell of burning gasoline in the van where the flames were being extinguished, Luo An guessed that the group of bank robbers had probably filled the van with gasoline before getting out of the car.


    ??The lighter Allen mentioned should be correct. It was the scene where the robber used the lighter to ignite the gasoline, causing the car to burn.


    Luo An thought for a while and continued to ask:


    ��Alan, have you seen the license plate number of that black MPV?��


    ��No, it was too far away at the time, and I didn��t pay much attention, so I didn��t see it clearly.��


    ?? Allen shook his head, Roan''s expression remained unchanged, Lacey frowned upon hearing this, and just when she was about to say something, Allen continued:


    ��But before the black MPV left the parking lot, another LAPD police car drove out of the parking lot, and the time difference was less than one minute.


    I feel that the police in the police car should have seen the group of robbers. "


    ��What? Police car?!��

    Chapter 491 Concealment in the parking lot


    Luo An and Lacey looked at each other, and then briefly asked for a moment. After confirming that Allen had no other clues and that the fire fighting in the distance had ended, Luo An asked Lacey to go there to check the situation, and he returned to the SUV of the Special Investigation Team. beside.


    ��How is it, Mona, did the surveillance find anything?��


    ��Nothing.��


    The co-pilot of the SUV, Mona pointed to the laptop on her lap and said helplessly:


    ��This group of bank robbers 100% visited this area before committing the robbery.


    Not only is the monitoring system in this parking lot in disrepair, but there are also no monitoring facilities at several nearby intersections. "


    ??Luo An��s expression remained unchanged. He had guessed this before. He coughed lightly and briefly described the incident about the police car that Allen mentioned.


    It is impossible to determine whether the police car Allen mentioned is true or false. It is not appropriate for the FBI and them to directly ask the LAPD sergeant not far away, so Luo An asked Mona to investigate the specific situation first and then decide what to do next.


    "police?"


    ??Mona''s eyelids twitched, and several worst-case scenarios instantly appeared in her mind.


    But she didn''t say much, just nodded and started investigating according to Luo An''s instructions.


    LAPD police cars generally have positioning devices, and the itineraries and routes of patrol officers can also be checked at the LAPD headquarters information center, so it didn��t take long for Mona to find useful information.


    ��Luo An, that Allen is right.��


    ??Mona tapped her ten fingers on the computer keyboard for a moment, then turned the computer to show the screen to Luo An, and said:


    ��Allan called the police, indicating that before a car caught fire in the parking lot, there was indeed a police car that patrolled the parking lot.��


    ��Good.��


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Who is the policeman in that police car? Where is he now?��


    ��The other party is Patrolman Davis.��


    ??Mona whispered the other person''s name, then pointed to a small circle not far away where several LAPD and Los Angeles firefighters were chatting.


    ?One of them was a chubby middle-aged white man wearing a LAPD patrol uniform with his hands in his pockets. He was Patrolman Davis.


    ��OK.��


    ?Seeing the other party''s appearance clearly, Luo An nodded and was silent for a second. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he strode towards the circle.


    ��Hello.��


    ??Walking to the circle, Luo An, with a smile on his face, briefly introduced his identity, thanked the Los Angeles firefighters for their hard work for a long time, and then asked about the situation of the burned van.


    ��There��s a lot of gas in that van.��


    A firefighter shook hands with Luo An and explained with a slight smile:


    ��When we got here, the car was almost burned, and all we could do was put out the fire.��


    The implication is that there is nothing useful left in the van, so there is no need to think about clues or anything like that.


    ��It seems that this group of robbers was well prepared.��


    Luo An''s expression remained unchanged, and he complained about the robbers with everyone. They chatted briefly for a while. After the scene was handled, everyone was ready to leave. Luo An calmly walked to Patrolman Davis and pointed at him not far away. The police car in charge smiled and said:


    ��Let��s go there and talk?��


    Patrolman Davis paused, a smile appeared on his chubby face, and just as he was about to speak, Luo An suddenly put his arm around his shoulders and whispered:


    ��It��s just the two of us. Too many people will be bad for you and me, okay?��


    ?? Patrolman Davis'' breathing quickened slightly when he heard this, and he was silent for a second and nodded:


    ��OK.��


    ??The smile on Luo An''s face remained unchanged, and he briefly greeted the LAPD sergeant who had some doubts on his face, and then walked behind the police car while talking and laughing.


    ? Patrolman Davis looked back at Luo An and asked seriously:


    ��I don��t know, Team Leader Greenwood, what problem do you have with me?��


    ��Just call me Luo An.��


    Luo An chuckled and said softly:


    ��I led the special investigation team simply to find the group of robbers.��


    ��Sorry, Leader Greenwood, I...��


    Patrolman Davis shook his head, and before he could continue speaking, Luo An did not mention Allen''s narrative, but directly told the clues that Mona had found, then he hugged Patrolman Davis'' shoulders and said in a deep voice. :????"Officer Davis, we''re all paid, aren''t we?"


    ??Mona previously found out that Patrolman Davis is in his thirties, has a wife who loves him, and two lovely children, a boy and a girl. The family''s financial situation is good.


    When Luo An saw this information, he immediately guessed what Patrolman Davis had seen the robbers but selectively ignored:


    ? Patrolman Davis, who has a son, a daughter and a wife at home, only has a pistol in his waist and a rifle in the trunk. He 100% does not want to go to the Police Martyrs Monument so early.


    ??With just that little salary a month, there is no need to risk your life with that group of robbers armed with rifles.


    ??Roan said that he understood the difficulties of Patrolman Davis and did not want to embarrass him. He just wanted to know the situation of the group of robbers.


    ?? Patrolman Davis was silent for a long time, and then he let out a long sigh and slowly collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his support. He covered his face and whispered:


    ��I��m sorry, Team Leader Luo An, I was really����


    ??Roan patted Patrolman Davis on the shoulder and said nothing. He just took out the paper and pen he had just taken out from Mona''s pocket and asked Patrolman Davis to describe the situation of the robbers in detail.


    ?More than half an hour later, Luo An returned to the SUV. Mona glanced at Patrolman Davis, who was pulled into the car by the sergeant not far away, and asked:


    ��He said everything?��


    "certainly."


    Roan shook the paper in his hand. The paper was full of words. Patrolman Davis wrote everything he saw on it.


    Lacie picked up the paper and looked at it, frowned, and asked:


    ��Officer Davis, what will happen next?��


    ? Patrolman Davis saw the bank robber, but selectively ignored it and failed to report it. At best, he was afraid of life and death; at worst, he failed to perform his duties, neglected his duties, and concealed clues.


    ?This kind of thing is a situation that needs to be dealt with seriously no matter which federal law enforcement agency it is in.


    ��Let the LAPD handle it.��


    ? Luo An started the SUV, turned the steering wheel and drove away, and replied casually.


    The FBI and LAPD already have various conflicts resulting from overlapping responsibilities.


    ??Whether reporting this matter to the LAPD or to team leader Potente Byrne, Roan will gain little.


    In this case, since we have obtained the clues we want, we might as well let the LAPD handle it themselves.


    ??That LAPD sergeant is not a fool. Patrolman Davis chatted with Luo An for a few words and his condition became so bad. How could he not see the problem?


    How the LAPD will deal with Patrolman Davis later, whether he will be suspended for self-reflection or some other punishment, has nothing to do with Luo An of the FBI.


    He motioned Lacey to hand the piece of paper to Mona, and asked Mona to check the license plate number that Patrolman Davis had written and what he saw. Then, while driving, Roan took out his mobile phone and called Michelle. :


    ��Michelle, at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention laboratory, where is the process?��


    ��The results of the botulinum toxin genome test at the crime scene have just been made.��


    Michelle on the other end of the phone had a strange tone and said:


    ��Staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that this kind of botulinum toxin is generally stored in laboratories with biosafety protection level three and above.


    ?There are many such laboratories in the federal territory, and there are more than a dozen in California alone. "


    ?Luo An didn��t understand what Michelle��s words meant:


    "so what?"


    "so��"


    ?Michelle swallowed, walked to a deserted corner, and whispered:


    ��Not only do several universities in California have laboratories of this level, our FBI, CIA, the Army, Navy, and even the Air Force also have laboratories of this level.��


    ��Fu-k, I get it.��


    ??Luo An rubbed his temples with a speechless face. He understood the reason for Michelle''s strange tone.


    ??Whether it��s the CIA, the Navy, the Army or the Air Force, there��s no one easy to deal with. It��s not that complicated to investigate whether the bottle of poison gas came from them.


    ?Sighing out a breath, Luo An didn''t panic. Anyway, he was supported by team leader Potente Byrne, so he hung up the phone on Michelle, and he planned to call Potente Byrne again.


    ?At this moment, Mona in the co-pilot suddenly said:


    ��Luo An, I found a new clue.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 492： bank robber suspect

    Chapter 492 The Suspect of Bank Robbers


    ??What Patrolman Davis wrote on the piece of paper carefully described what happened in the parking lot:


    ?At that time, Patrolman Davis drove his police car slowly and patrolled the neighborhood he was responsible for as usual.


    ??Hearing the news that the group of bank robbers in Bonne drove away, Patrolman Davis did not think too much and did not think that the robbers would flee into his neighborhood.


    ? Driving his police car into the parking lot, Patrolman Davis planned to pause his patrol and buy a cup of Starbucks nearby.


    As soon as he entered the parking lot, Patrolman Davis saw a van parked in a parking space, and six men wearing poker masks ran out of the van, holding a rifle in one hand and a large black bag in the other. Guy.


    ??At the same time that Patrolman Davis saw the robbers, the robbers on both sides of the van also saw Patrolman Davis in the police car.


    There were seven people on both sides, all of them were stunned in place at that moment.


    ������x7


    Tick-tick-tick


    ? Time is moving forward second by second. These few seconds are definitely the slowest the seven people have ever felt in their lives.


    ?A few seconds later, Patrolman Davis turned his head and did not look at the people. As if nothing happened, he drove the police car slowly out of the parking lot.


    The six bank robbers looked at me and I looked at you. They were all a little confused. After reacting, they quickly ran to another MPV with weapons and large bags full of money, and drove away from the area quickly. .


    ������x3


    After reading Patrolman Davis��s description, Luo An and the other three people had black lines all over their heads.


    Fortunately, those few seconds left a deep impression on Patrolman Davis, and he took note of a lot of things.


    For example, the license plate numbers of the van and the MPV, the heights of the six robbers, and when the six robbers bent down to get into the MPV, the blue and yellow shirts under the black jackets of two of them were exposed at the waist.


    Patrolman Davis felt familiar with the styles of those two shirts. When he thought about it carefully, he remembered that they were the jerseys of the Rams, the Los Angeles football team.


    ��I haven��t found anything useful about jerseys or anything like that.��


    ?Mona showed the laptop to Roan and Lacey, and explained with a smile:


    ��But based on the license plate number of the MPV, I did find some useful clues.��


    ??Mona found out that the owner of the MPV was a celebrity agent who worked at a brokerage company in Los Angeles. At the time of the crime, he was doing activities in a European country with the celebrity in charge, and he had no time to commit the crime.


    This agent has divorced his wife, and his ex-wife was not available to commit the crime at the time of the crime.


    ?However, the agent��s ex-wife��s cousin, a guy named Cogglin, is very suspected of committing the crime.


    ��Coglin, 26 years old, was convicted of theft and intentional injury and went to prison for a period of further education.��


    On the laptop screen was a photo of a young white man taken while in prison. Mona pointed at the man and said:


    ��Two years ago, Coghlin was released from prison and found a job at a telecommunications equipment company in Los Angeles.


    Six months ago, he was fired from a telecommunications equipment company due to multiple unexcused absences from work, and has been unemployed ever since. "


    ??Mona then typed a few times on the keyboard to bring up Coglin''s work records when he worked at the telecommunications equipment company, and showed it to Luo An with a smile:


    ��These are the places where Coghlin goes most often when he��s working.��


    ��A branch of Wells Fargo, a branch of Trust Bank, JP Morgan Chase, First Republic Bank����


    Lacey read out the words on the laptop screen one by one. Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and grinned:


    ��Our Mr. Coghlin likes to repair telecommunications equipment for places with money.


    It seems that the coffee in these places tastes better when you take a break from work. "


    Lacie sneered, and then said Luo An:


    ��Perhaps this guy wants to figure out the structure of these bank vault doors and the set times of time locks.��


    ��The probability is very high.��


    ?Luo An nodded and then asked:


    ��Mona, are there any other clues?��


    "there is none left."


    Close the laptop and spread her hands:


    "The clues we just found are just reasonable guesses based on the information. At present, we can''t find direct evidence to prove that the other party participated in the bank robbery." "It doesn''t matter, at least we already have a target of suspicion."


    ?Luo An��s expression remained unchanged. He had no intention of leading a team at the moment and would go directly to the place where Coglin lived to conduct a door-to-door search.


    ?There is a serial number record of the robbed US dollars at the bank. Most likely, this group of robbers will not spend the money they robbed directly, but will find someone to clean it first and then use it.


    ?In this case, it is impossible to identify this group of robbers in a short time, catch them and send them to prison. Luo An is already prepared to deal with this case slowly in the future.


    ?However, the investigation that needs to be done still needs to be done. Roan asked Mona to retrieve all the information about Coghlin and give it to Lacey.


    Lacey is the most suitable person in the special investigation team to follow up and investigate Cogglin offline.


    ��No problem, leave it to me.��


    ?Taking the documents and information, Lacey nodded heavily in agreement, then she stretched out her right hand towards Luo An, showing a penniless smile:


    ��Give me some investigation funds first.��


    ������x2


    ??Lacie began to act alone to investigate the situation of the bank robbers. Roan and Mona returned to the special investigation team. Michelle had returned to the office area and waited for a long time.


    ��Next, it will be up to the three of us to handle this gas case.��


    ??In the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, Mona and Michelle sat obediently on chairs, and Luo An posted the photo of the poison gas storage tank in the center of the whiteboard at the front.


    Rubbing his temples, Luo An looked back at Michelle and asked:


    ��At the CDC, are there any suspicious laboratories?��


    ? Michelle shook her head, showed the report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to Luo An, and said:


    ��Staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that botulinum toxin found at crime scenes is the most common type, and many laboratories can produce it.


    In addition, in addition to the official work records, many laboratories also have a bunch of confidential experiments that only a few people will know about, so..."


    Luo An took the report and looked at it. The content was very long, with a lot of professional terms, and he couldn''t understand it at all.


    ?However, the meaning was summed up by Luo An:


    Potentially produced by every Level 3 or higher laboratory within the Commonwealth.


    "All right."


    ?Luo An rubbed his temples and felt a little headache. After pondering for a while, he said:


    ��Mona, Michelle, please first check the level 3 or above laboratories in various universities in California to see if they have manufactured or produced botulinum toxin.��


    "no problem."


    Compared to other government departments, surveying laboratories in various universities is relatively simple.


    Mona moved her chair back to her seat and started typing on the computer keyboard to investigate. Michelle assisted her on the side. Roan picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp. He took out his cell phone and called Potente Byrne, the team leader. :


    ��Good afternoon, sir. It��s me, Luo An.��


    Roan briefly described the report issued by the monitoring center. Potente-Born thought for a few seconds and said in a deep voice:


    ��I will contact the CIA and the military. If there is any news, I will call you.��


    ��OK, thank you, sir.��


    ��You��re welcome, please handle this case properly.��


    ?Hang up the phone, Luo An sat down on the chair, staring at the photos on the whiteboard, leaning his chin in thought.


    Time passed by, and Mona and Michelle did not find any clues. In addition, some university laboratories did not conduct large-scale external networking, and even used separate regional networks, so this work was far more complicated than before. It''s a bit more difficult than they imagined.


    As the clock at the front of the office area reached the end of the day, Luo An first called Lacey, briefly asked about the situation, and made sure that everything was normal. Luo An left the Special Investigation Team office area with Mona and Michelle and drove to to the hospital where Winslow and Chenelle were staying.


    When the three of them arrived at the hospital, Winslow''s ex-wife and young son, as well as the ex-wife''s current husband, all came to the hospital.


    Two adults stood in the corridor outside the ward, discussing things in a low voice with the doctor. When they saw Roan, Winslow''s ex-wife immediately walked up.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 493： Gas investigation, clues in San Diego

    Chapter 493 Poison Gas Case Investigation, Santiago��s Clues


    Winslow��s ex-wife is named Lanita. She is a woman who is taller than Roan and almost as tall as Winslow.


    Lanita''s current husband is slightly shorter than Mona, but the fact that a woman is taller than a man is nothing in the Free Federation, and no one here cared about it. They simply shook hands and introduced their identities, Lanita. Tower then discussed Winslow''s situation with Roan.


    Winslow and Chenelle have woken up in the ward. They all have symptoms of difficulty breathing and muscle weakness. They are lying on the hospital bed with faces full of pain and are very uncomfortable.


    Fortunately, the doctor said that the two of them did not inhale much botulinum toxin, and since they are in excellent physical condition, they will recover quickly and there is a high probability that there will be no sequelae later.


    ?Everyone present breathed a long sigh of relief and exchanged greetings for a while. His ex-wife Lanita, her son and her husband left first.


    ?Mona and Michelle walked into the ward and began to comfort the two of them. Luo An quietly took out a bottle of [antidote] from the blind spot of the surveillance area, poured it into the drinking water and helped Winslow and Chenelle drink it.


    "Feel sorry."


    After drinking some water, Winslow felt that his chapped lips felt much better, and then he apologized:


    ��We didn��t expect things to turn out like this.��


    ��It doesn��t matter, take good care of yourself first and then talk about the rest.��


    ??Luo An smiled and shook his head. This kind of thing was not Winslow and Chenelle''s fault. They were like this because they were trying to save people. Who would have thought that something as terrible as poison gas would appear in a bank.


    ��By the way, the doctor just said that the mother and daughter also woke up not long ago.��


    ??Roan patted Winslow and Chenelle''s arms and said with a smile:


    ��Their condition is not bad, and their families are very grateful to you.��


    A flash of light flashed in Winslow''s eyes. Chenelle grinned and said with a solemn expression:


    ��I should��thank��Luo An��you.��


    Winslow and Chenelle knew the person who had the greatest credit for the previous incident, and they did not notice anything unusual at all at the time.


    ??Had Luo An not reacted quickly enough and asked people to leave the hall in time, by the time they reacted, everyone on the scene might have lost their breath.


    Michelle looked at Luo An with gratitude. She and Mona were in the deeper control room at that time. If Luo An hadn''t rescued them in time, it would have been 100% too late by the time she felt something was wrong.


    ? Luo An waved his hands and said nothing. Even though he warned in time, so many people still died on the scene.


    ??Now Luo An just wants to catch the owner of the bottle of poison gas quickly, and then ask the other person why he put such dangerous poison gas in the bank''s storage cabinet?


    After chatting for a while, Luo An and the other three were driven out of the ward by the doctor and nurse, so the three of them decided that Winslow and Chenelle would take good care of themselves, and they would come back later.


    Luo An secretly poured a bottle of [antidote potion] into the two of them, and Luo An felt much more relaxed. However, after a day of running around, he and Mona were not in the mood to exercise when they returned to the villa. They simply ate and took a shower, then returned to their respective bedrooms to sleep. .


    The next day, Lacey continued to act alone to investigate the suspects in the bank robbery. Mona went to the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team alone and used computers to investigate the conditions of the laboratory that can produce botulinum toxin.


    Roan and Michelle conducted offline research and visited several university laboratories that use regional networks.


    After working all morning, everyone gained nothing.


    ��So, is our investigation going in the wrong direction?��


    In the SUV, Michelle took a big bite of the burger, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and said:


    ��The source of that bottle of poisonous gas may not be the laboratory.��


    ??Luo An finished his burger, drank a large glass of Coke in one gulp, belched loudly, patted his belly and replied:


    ��If it��s not a laboratory, it can only be the army.��


    The military is one of the most unique systems and the most exclusive camp in the Federation.


    ??If the source of the bottle of poison gas in the bank was the military, then there would be no FBI involvement behind this case, and there would be no need to investigate.


    ?Michelle swallowed the burger in her mouth and was about to speak when Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang.


    ?Taking out his mobile phone and looking at the phone number, Luo An pressed the answer button:


    ��What��s the matter, Mona?��


    ��I found out something.��


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone took a bite of the bread she found in Lacey''s drawer, looked at the computer screen in front of her, and said:


    ��Five months ago, the Federal Army, the University of California, San Diego, and Hudson University in New York conducted an experimental activity together. The contents of this experiment are top secret and I cannot find out.


    However, I discovered that during that period, there were several students majoring in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, bacteriology, virology, microbiology, etc. in the two universities. They had several more A''s in their coursework. These students had previously All studies have content related to botulinum toxin. "


    ��Well done!��


    Roan''s eyes lit up when he heard this. He praised Mona loudly and immediately started the car and headed to the University of California, San Diego.


    ??The distance between Los Angeles and San Diego is about 120 kilometers. Luo An drove the SUV quickly and successfully arrived at the university at 2:30 in the afternoon.


    By showing the FBI''s golden badge, Luo An and Michelle soon met one of the heads of the Level 3 Biological Bacteria Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego. He had half black and half white hair. He looked about 60 years old and was wearing a white coat. of an elderly white man.


    ��Just call me Brown.��


    In an office, an elderly white man reached out and shook hands with Luo An, his face full of doubts:


    ��What do you want from me?��


    ��Hello, Professor Brown.��


    ??Luo An briefly introduced the identities of himself and Michelle. When he learned that they were here for botulinum toxin, Professor Brown wiped his glasses and said:


    ��Most bacteria need a biological host. Botulinum toxin only needs the infected organism to die and rot in the soil to complete its own cycle, so it is called a toxin.


    So what you are saying is that the botulinum toxin that appeared at the bank in Los Angeles the day before yesterday may have come from our laboratory? Are you sure this isn''t a joke? "


    ��I also hope this is just a joke.��


    ?Luo An smiled and asked:


    ��Do you have any machinery and equipment here that can extract botulinum toxin?��


    ��Of course, our laboratory is well-equipped.��


    Professor Brown walked to the desk behind him and began to look for documents on the table. At the same time, he said:


    ��However, most of our experimental equipment is common to more than a dozen scholars, researchers and students. Once someone does something wrong, it will 100% be discovered by others.��


    ?Luo An then asked:


    ��What about doing some top-secret experiments?��


    Professor Brown paused, some wrinkles appeared on his forehead, and he raised his head and stared at Luo An:


    "What do you mean?"


    ��I mean no harm, Professor Brown.��


    Luo An spread his hands and said:


    ��We know that the military conducted experiments with you in the past, but we are not interested in the specific content of those experiments.


    We just want to know whether the bottle of botulinum toxin that killed so many people came from your laboratory, and who actually put it into that bank. "


    ��OK.��


    Professor Brown pondered for a while and nodded, then found a certificate under a pile of documents, signed it, and said:


    ��The person in charge of that top-secret experiment was not me, but Professor Ferdinand who was diagonally opposite my office.


    Most of our laboratories are open 24 hours a day, but every time you enter the laboratory and use experimental equipment, you must swipe your card to prove your identity. Experimental equipment that can produce botulinum toxin is no exception.


    This is the certificate I signed. You can take it to retrieve the usage records of those experimental equipment. "


    ��OK, thank you Professor Brown.��


    Luo An smiled and thanked him, took the paper signed by the other party and left the office. He found a college student who had just finished the experiment in the laboratory and asked him to help retrieve the usage records of the equipment.


    ?Sent all the records back to Mona, Luo An and Michelle had just walked to the gate of the University of California, San Diego, when Luo An��s cell phone suddenly rang.


    Pressing the answer button, Mona''s somewhat excited voice sounded on the other end of the phone:


    ��Luo An, I found the suspect who made the poison gas!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 494： Suspect of suicide, third party at the scene

    Chapter 494 Suspect of suicide, third party at the scene


    ??University of California, San Diego, in the parking lot not far from the school gate.


    Hand Michelle opened the car door and got into the SUV together, Luo An asked with his cell phone:


    ��Who is the suspect?��


    ��Professor of Virology, University of California, San Diego, Lloyd Webster.��


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone explained:


    ��Among the mechanical equipment experiment records you sent back, this professor��s situation is the most prominent.


    Not only did he go in and out of those laboratories many times from midnight to three in the morning, but every time he entered those laboratories, the electricity consumption of the laboratories suddenly increased a lot. "


    Michelle thought for a while and said:


    ��Either Professor Lloyd Webster goes to the laboratory every night to steal electricity, or he uses large electrical equipment.��


    Luo An nodded and said:


    ��For example, a centrifuge is an indispensable piece of equipment for making botulinum toxin, but it consumes a lot of electricity.


    ?Mona, where is this Professor Lloyd-Webster now? "


    ��After the gas incident, Professor Lloyd-Webster took a week��s leave on the grounds that he needed to recuperate from his chronic illness.��


    ??The typing on the keyboard on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, and Mona replied:


    ��He is most likely at home now. The house is not far from the University of California, San Diego, and it takes ten minutes to drive.��


    ??Roan hung up the phone, waited for Michelle to fasten her seat belt, and immediately drove the SUV to the location Mona said.


    ?Less than ten minutes, the SUV arrived at the destination.


    What surprised Roan and Michelle was that the house Professor Lloyd-Webster lived in was very ordinary, just an ordinary house in a community building.


    ?Stepping into the elevator, Michelle glanced at some unknown objects that emitted a peculiar smell at the corner of the stairs not far away. Her eyelids twitched and she said:


    ��Professor Lloyd-Webster is short of money.��


    ?Luo An didn��t speak, just held his breath.


    The Federation is a free country, and people are naturally free to go to the toilet wherever they want.


    ?The elevator slowly opened when it reached the designated floor. The two stepped out of the elevator and walked directly to the house where Professor Lloyd Webster lived.


    ?Standing on both sides of the door of the room, one on the left and one on the right, Luo An raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying loudly:


    ��Hello, is this Mr. Lloyd-Webster? Here is your package!��


    ����


    ?After the words fell, the corridor was extremely quiet, and no one in the room answered.


    ??Knocked on the door a few more times, but still no one answered. Luo An and Michelle looked at each other and nodded. Then they counted down to three, raised their feet and kicked the door fiercely.


    �O


    ??In Michelle''s shocked eyes, the door of the room was instantly kicked to the ground by Luo An''s terrifying force. When she reacted, she quickly raised her pistol and followed Luo An into the room, quickly checking the situation in each room.


    "Safety!"


    "Safety!"


    ??This room is not big, and the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom were quickly checked by the two of them to make sure there were no problems. However, the moment they walked into the study, they both frowned.


    ?The study room in this house is not big, with only a desk, a chair, a computer, some books and documents, and a pot of cactus placed on the windowsill.


    Professor Lloyd Webster is sitting on the chair. At this time, his head is tilted back and his head is upward. His eyes are closed and his mouth is wide open. There is a **** hole in the center of his head. There is a long hole on the wall behind the chair. Splattered blood.


    Professor Lloyd-Webster''s hands were hanging down powerlessly, his left hand was naturally slightly bent, and there was a pistol on the ground next to his right hand.


    Bent down to examine for a few seconds, Michelle looked very ugly:


    ��Professor Lloyd-Webster committed suicide?��


    Roan nodded expressionlessly. The situation at the scene was not complicated. Professor Lloyd-Webster put the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, then pulled the trigger and took his own life. Luo An put on his gloves and briefly looked through the files on his desk. He didn''t find anything like the last words he imagined, but he found traces of the computer being tampered with. His eyes moved slightly and he continued to search. Luo An quickly Some other clues were discovered.


    ? After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called the local FBI Trace Inspection Section, and at the same time said to Michelle:


    ��We are not the first ones here, there are others who have been here.��


    Michelle suddenly thought of something when he heard this, and his expression changed:


    ��You mean that Professor Lloyd-Webster was forced to commit suicide with a gun?��


    ��This possibility is not ruled out, but the probability is not high.��


    Luo An pointed to the corpse in the study and explained:


    ��Judging from the marks around the hole in Professor Lloyd-Webster��s head and the coagulation of his blood, he died not long ago and should have occurred on the day when the media reported the gas case.


    But look here. "


    ??Luo An took Michelle to the door where he kicked him to the ground and said:


    ��The lock has signs of being picked from the outside. If Professor Lloyd-Webster is still alive when this person comes, there is no need for this person to pick the lock.��


    Michelle was silent for a few seconds, then looked up at Luo An:


    ��So, not long after Professor Lloyd-Webster committed suicide, someone entered the house by picking the lock, and then that person operated Professor Lloyd-Webster��s computer before leaving.��


    ��That person also took away something like the last words that Professor Lloyd Webster wrote before he committed suicide.��


    Luo An said that there was a writing pen placed on the dominant position of the right hand of the desk. There was also a blank area in the center of the desk. It was obvious that some items were placed there before, but now they are gone.


    "damn it."


    Michelle cursed in a low voice after hearing this, and then asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ��Take the computer and go back to Los Angeles.��


    After careful investigation of the scene, Luo An can determine that there is more than 90% possibility that Professor Lloyd Webster committed suicide.


    But what was the reason why Professor Lloyd-Webster committed suicide, why he secretly made poison gas, and why he put the bottle of poison gas into the bank.


    ??And who was the person who sneaked into the room, and what was written in the last words he took away, these are what Luo An needs to investigate next.


    ? After a brief exchange of greetings with the local FBI in San Diego, Michelle collected all the computers, books, documents, etc. found at the crime scene, and Luo An started the SUV and returned to Los Angeles.


    At five o''clock in the afternoon, Luo An and Michelle returned to the special investigation team smoothly. When Mona saw the two of them, she immediately finished a piece of bread in two or three bites and said loudly:


    ��Boy, I have found out why Professor Lloyd-Webster is short of money.��


    "what happened?"


    ��Professor Lloyd Webster��s son has brain cancer.��


    ??Mona said that she carefully checked Professor Lloyd-Webster''s financial situation during his lifetime and found that most of his funds in the past year were spent on a large hospital in Los Angeles.


    Mona continued to follow this clue and found that Professor Lloyd Webster had been paying for the treatment of a brain cancer patient in his thirties. After checking the identity of the brain cancer patient, she found that The man is the biological son of Professor Lloyd Webster.


    Professor Lloyd-Webster divorced and his son married his wife. Later, when his wife was in her thirties, she developed a tumor in her head and died painfully. Unexpectedly, her son also inherited his mother''s family disease.


    After reading this information, Luo An nodded in understanding, and Michelle suddenly realized:


    ��Professor Lloyd-Webster secretly manufactured botulinum toxin in order to sell it for money and then use the money to treat his son.��


    ??Mona nodded, and Luo An then handed her the computer found at the crime scene and asked:


    ��This computer has signs of being tampered with. Can you find out the details?��


    "certainly."


    ??Mona took the computer and laughed, started the computer and said at the same time:


    ��As long as it is not physically destroyed, even if it is formatted, I can still check his browsing history during his lifetime!��


    ����


    Luo An''s eyelids jumped when he heard this. He planned to go back and ask the agents from the Trace Inspection Section downstairs if they could make a laptop that could self-explode and burn.

 Chapter 495： Part of the truth about the gas case and the clues to the bank case

    Chapter 495 Part of the truth about the poison gas case, clues to the bank case


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    It took Mona a while to process the computer, so Luo An took out his mobile phone and called the owner of a nearby restaurant, ordered a few dinners and asked them to be delivered to the investigation team''s office area, and then he called Lacey. Got the phone.


    ��It��s me, Luo An, how are you doing over there?��


    "all the best."


    The voice on the other end of the phone was a little noisy. Luo An heard Lacey and some people apologize, then walked to a quieter place and whispered:


    ��I did not approach Coghlin directly but went to one of his favorite bars.


    ??That guy Coglin didn''t spend money lavishly, nor did he look for women or gamble, which made me suspect that I had the wrong person. "


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    "what have you found?"


    ��I found this guy is too stable, abnormally stable.��


    Lacie sneered and said:


    ��Coglin has always been unemployed, and most of his daily expenses come from moving things to bars or nearby supermarkets to earn some hard-earned money. The source of funds is extremely unstable.


    ??But not only did Coghlin not show any pressure, he was very calm. When faced with the teasing of some gangsters in the bar, he didn''t care at all, and even had a bit of contempt in his eyes..."


    Luo An nodded. He understood the meaning of Lacey''s words. This guy Coghlin is clearly living a life where one meal may not mean the next, but he reveals a kind of "I can turn over if I want to". A sense of pride.


    ??Moreover, Coglin doesn''t smoke green hemp, smoke flour, or drink much alcohol. He just likes to smoke a little, and his mental state is fine.


    Lacie concluded:


    "I suspect that Coghlin is most likely one of the group of bank robbers. He either hid the money and planned to spend it after the limelight has passed; or the money has not been cleaned yet, and he is now in a waiting state. "


    ��Good, thank you for your hard work.��


    ? Luo An pondered for a while, briefly discussed the subsequent investigation plan with Lacey, and then hung up the phone.


    Not long after, the dinner ordered by phone was delivered to the office area. Luo An took out a few dollars and gave them to the delivery boy, then walked into the office area with the food and said with a smile:


    ��Two ladies, great news, our dinner has arrived.��


    "Thanks."


    After taking the dinner, Michelle thanked her. Mona raised her head and said with a smile:


    ��I also have good news. Professor Lloyd Webster��s computer has been restored by me.��


    ??Mona put the dinner aside, then showed the computer to Luo An and said:


    ��And I found that thing that was cleared. It was the chat history of an online chat room.��


    Luo An��s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he bent down to look at the computer screen. The chat records inside spanned a long time, but the content was not complicated.


    ? Half a month before the military launched the top-secret experiment, Professor Lloyd-Webster met a man named "White Bruce" in a chat room.


    The "White Blues" said in his words that he knew Professor Lloyd and knew about Professor Lloyd''s son.


    ? He ??respected and sympathized with Professor Lloyd, and was willing to donate $50,000 to Professor Lloyd''s son, but he also wanted to ask Professor Lloyd to do him a favor, that is, to create a bottle of botulinum toxin gas.


    Professor Lloyd immediately and sternly rejected "White Blues" at first, but as time went by, Professor Lloyd''s son''s condition became worse and worse, and the money he had accumulated over the years was gradually spent, so Professor Lloyd took the initiative Find "White Bruce" and agree to make a bottle of botulinum toxin for $300,000.


    "White Blues" said the price was too expensive, and the two bargained, and the final price was set at $100,000.


    ?After the bottle of botulinum toxin was successfully produced, Professor Lloyd actually took the bottle of poison gas to Los Angeles to make a deal with "White Blues" in the name of going to Los Angeles to see his son.


    ?At the same time, Michelle found out the cause of death of Professor Lloyd''s son. He was not suffering from late-stage brain cancer, but died on the spot when he took advantage of the nurse''s unpreparedness and committed suicide by jumping off the building.


    The time happened to be the same as the time when Professor Lloyd took the poison gas and went to Los Angeles to make a deal.


    ??Luo An frowned slightly and continued to scroll down the chat history. "White Bruce" did not wait for Professor Lloyd at the time and address that had been discussed in advance, nor did he get the poison gas, so he turned around and questioned him sternly in the chat room.


    Professor Lloyd did not reply to the message at first. When he was settling his son��s death the next day, he went online to say that his son was dead and the transaction was cancelled. Luo An pondered for a while and asked Mona to check the names of the account holders of the robbed First Republic Bank of California and the metal cabinets that were robbed.


    Soon, Mona found a woman named "Avery Owen" and opened a metal cabinet for four months.


    ?That was the name of Professor Lloyd''s ex-wife.


    ??The content in the subsequent chat room is basically "White Bruce" asking where the bottle of poison gas is, requesting to continue the transaction, or even increase the price.


    Professor Lloyd never responded to the other party. When he was later threatened by "White Bruce", Professor Lloyd said that "White Bruce" would kill him in the worst case, but the other party still couldn''t get the bottle of poison gas.


    "White Blues" was silent for a long time and then went offline. He never spoke to Professor Lloyd again, and the chat history ended here.


    ������x3


    After reading these contents, the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team became quiet.


    After a long silence, Michelle frowned and concluded:


    "Professor Lloyd originally planned to use the bottle of poison gas to sell his son for money, but because the son did not want to drag his father down and committed suicide by jumping off a building, Professor Lloyd unilaterally canceled the transaction and stored the bottle of poison gas in the metal in the First Republic Bank of California. cabinet."


    ?Mona tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said:


    ��Professor Lloyd probably saw that the poison gas he chose to temporarily store in the bank caused so many deaths, and his son committed suicide, so he had no desire to live, so he chose to commit suicide.��


    ??Luo An nodded. Mona and Michelle''s analysis were both reasonable, but he was now focused on another issue:


    ?????? Is this "White Blues" the guy who infiltrated Professor Lloyd in front of me?


    So Luo An patted Mona on the shoulder and said seriously:


    "Mona, try to find out the identity of this "white blues".


    We need to figure out what this guy wants to do in such a hurry to buy poison gas.


    ?Also, if he didn��t get the poison gas from Professor Lloyd, would he turn his attention to other people? Did he get the poison gas from other people? "


    Poison gas, as long as it is used, will 100% kill a lot of people.


    There were obvious anti-social thoughts in the words of "White Bruce". From this, Luo An judged that this guy did not get what he wanted from Professor Lloyd, and would most likely contact other people.


    ��OK, I��ll investigate now!��


    ?After listening to Luo An��s analysis, Mona nodded seriously and immediately started typing on the keyboard with a serious look on her face. Seeing this, Michelle next to her also moved to Mona��s side to help.


    ??Luo An walked to the whiteboard and looked at the photo of the bottle of poison gas, frowning and thinking. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.


    ?Finding that the caller was the team supervisor, Luo An quickly pressed the answer button:


    ��Good evening, sir.��


    Potente-Byrne, the team leader on the other end of the phone, said "hmm" without any nonsense and said directly:


    ��I got a message from the Federal Army. Some of their internal departments collaborated with the University of California and Hudson University to conduct some experimental activities some time ago. Part of the experimental activities were related to botulinum toxin..."


    ����


    ?Listening to the clues and analysis found by team leader Potente Byrne on the phone, Luo An had black lines all over his head and felt a toothache.


    ?Had this news been earlier, it would not have been so late.


    ??Just when Roan was hesitant to describe the clues found by their special investigation team to the excited Potente-Byrne, Mona''s cell phone suddenly rang.


    ??Mona pressed the answer button, and Lacey''s anxious voice sounded on the other end of the phone:


    ��Mona, give your phone to Luan quickly, that Coglin guy is getting ready to leave Los Angeles!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 496： The identity of the suspect, everyone has a bright future

    Chapter 496 The identity of the suspect, everyone has a bright future


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    Hearing what Lacey said on the other end of the phone, Mona quickly stood up and gave the phone to Luo An. Upon seeing this, Luo An simply apologized to the team leader Potente Byrne, took the phone and asked:


    "what happened?"


    ��That Coghlin guy is leaving Los Angeles.��


    ?? Lacey said she just found out that Coghlin bought a ticket to Las Vegas tomorrow morning.


    ?Luo An closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, then suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile:


    ��Lessie, thanks to Coglin, your dream of traveling with public funds can come true this time.��


    ��This kind of public-funded tour is not what I want.��


    Lacey on the other end of the phone rolled her eyes. She understood the meaning of Roan''s words, that is, she was going to follow Coghlin to Las Vegas this time.


    ??The situation is urgent now. There are six bank robbers in total. The special investigation team has only found this one suspect so far. Luo An can only ask Lacey to follow him closely.


    After thinking for a while, Luo An then smiled and said:


    "It''s a good thing, Lacey, you said before that Coghlin didn''t smoke flour, he didn''t find women or gamble during this period, and he drank very little.


    ?Judging from the fact that Coghlin is planning to go to Las Vegas, this guy is obviously recuperating for the next debauched life.


    This is the time when he is most likely to let down his guard, and it is also the time when we are most likely to find flaws in him. "


    "I see."


    After seeing Lesse in various flowers world, I knew that most ordinary people suddenly changed their mentality after a richest manner, and she turned her mind quickly, and soon thought about her tracking plan.


    ?? After a brief discussion, before Luo An hung up the phone, Lacey asked her last question:


    ��How much is the funding for this publicly funded tour?��


    ����


    Luo An rolled his eyes and hung up the phone. The money he would give would definitely not be less, but not too much either. With Lacey''s character, she would not take the money and put it into her own pocket, but would only spend extravagantly. , everything is for the best.


    ?Handing the phone back to Mona, Luo An then picked up his own phone and briefly discussed the current progress of the poison gas case special investigation team with Potente Byrne on the other end of the phone.


    ?Learning that the special investigation team had found the suspected suspect, Potente Byrne was surprised at first, and then overjoyed. He repeatedly praised Luo An for his clear thinking and thorough consideration.


    ??He thought it would take Luo An about half a month to have a chance to investigate this case, but now it seems that he still underestimated the special investigation team.


    Roan smiled and discussed a few words with Potente-Byrne, then turned the topic to the bank robbery case and briefly talked about the current situation of the group of bank robbers and their special investigation team.


    ��It��s okay, Luo An, just handle the gas case.��


    ??Team leader Potente Byrne laughed when he heard this and whispered that there was no need to worry about the bank robbery.


    Although First Republic Bank of California suffered a lot this time, banks are robbed every day in Los Angeles. In more than 70% of cases, the robbers cannot be found for a long time.


    For this situation, most FBI investigators wait until the next time the robbers make a mistake when they rob a bank. Then, while the robbers are being held, they carefully investigate past bank robberies, compare them one by one, and finally The court added jail time to the caught robbers.


    ?At the end, Potente-Byrne whispered that the bank robbery was the best to solve. If he really felt unsure, the special investigation team could hand over the case and he would let other investigation teams handle it.


    ??As long as this poison gas case is solved, the special investigation team''s contribution will be indispensable.


    Luo An��s eyes flashed when he heard this, he grinned and nodded:


    ��I understand, thank you sir.��


    ?Hang up the phone, Luo An sat on a chair nearby and started eating the dinner that was delivered to him. After struggling for a long time, the barbecue was a little cold.


    ??As for whether to hand over the bank robbery case, Luo An briefly thought about it and abandoned this option.


    ?The reason is simple. Since Coghlin is going to Las Vegas to have fun, it means that he is not the kind of guy with a very strong will.


    ?However, people who are used to making big money and quick money cannot calm down and work for others step by step and get paid. They will only continue to make quick money.


    They may also set a goal for themselves at the beginning, such as earning a million dollars and then quitting. But once they make one million, this goal may become two million, then three million, and continue to increase until they are caught and imprisoned.


    Las Vegas is a world-famous gold-selling cave. The money Coghlin grabbed this time is nothing at all. It won''t take long before he will spend it. By then, he will most likely contact the five previous people. Someone among the robbers discussed taking another shot, and that was the time for the special investigation team to arrest him.


    ?After the robbers are caught, the bank will naturally have to explain the business trip and other expenses of the special investigation team. After all, the Federation is a capitalist country that is all about money.


    At that time, the team leader will have gained political achievements, the special investigation team will have received funds, the bank will have smoothed its accounts, the robbers will have the opportunity to enter prison for further education, and everyone will have a bright future.


    ?The robbers: ������


    ?A few large pieces of Mexican barbecue were devoured, and he took a big sip of the Coke given by the hotel. Luo An burped.


    ?On the other side, Michelle and Mona also finished their dinner. Most of what they wanted were vegetables, pasta and other foods. They only had a small portion of the barbecue and had not finished it yet.


    ��Roan, I found out about the ��White Blues��.��


    ?Picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth, stopped typing on the keyboard, and showed the laptop screen to Luo An and said:


    ��The guy was very careful and covered himself with several layers of skin, but I still found his computer IP and found out his address and identity.��


    ??Luo An moved the chair next to Mona, looked at the computer screen and narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��San Francisco East New Area, Tom Hamilton.��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Mona nodded and then introduced:


    ��Tom Hamilton, 38 years old, once insulted black and yellow people in public, had conflicts with others, and was eventually imprisoned for using weapons to violently injure others. After he was released from prison, he opened a small bar.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An nodded, and suddenly he discovered that in one of Tom Hamilton''s bar photos, there was a photo posted on the wall in the corner of the bar, and he slowly zoomed in. The photo had a red background, and in the middle there was a large figure with many flames surrounding it. White sun, there is a double diamond pattern in the middle of the white sun.


    Luo An looked puzzled and pointed at the photo and asked:


    ��What pattern is this?��


    ?Mona frowned, took back the computer and said:


    ��I��ll investigate right now.��


    ��No need to look into it, I know what it means.��


    ?At this moment, Michelle next to her opened her mouth and attracted the attention of Roan and Mona. She frowned and explained:


    ��That is the totem of the First Order, a white supremacist organization.


    The organization has clear slogans and goals, such as "We must protect our people, protect the future of white children, and remove garbage that should not exist on federal lands" and other similar words. "


    ?Mona frowned:


    ��Sounds a bit like a Nazi slogan?��


    ��There is this totem hanging in that bar, which shows that Tom Hamilton has most likely joined the organization.��


    Luo An thought for a few seconds, connected everything together, and said:


    ��So Tom Hamilton went online to buy poison gas from Professor Lloyd Webster, probably to fulfill the goals of the ��First Order�� and use poison gas to eliminate people of color on a large scale.��


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Damn guy!��


    ??Mona and Michelle''s expressions darkened. Mona quickly tapped the keyboard a few times, raised her head and said with a serious face:


    ��Tom Hamilton��s computer has traces of encryption. I want to investigate his chat history and other information. I need some time.��


    ��Check on the road.��


    Luo An said as he put on his coat and walked out:


    ��We are going to San Francisco now to talk to Mr. Tom Hamilton about the federal race problem.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 497： white supremacist, sarin gas, arrested

    Chapter 497 White supremacists, sarin gas, arrest


    The Federation is a well-known immigration country in the world. Immigrants account for about 14% of the country''s total population.


    The largest number of immigrants are from Latin America and the Caribbean, followed closely by immigrants from Asia and Europe.


    Coupled with the descendants of black people in the South during the plantation period, as well as the "3G1A" (Gay, Guns, God religion, and Abortion) issues that have existed since the founding of the Union until modern times.


    As a result, the social atmosphere in the entire country of the Federation cannot be said to be harmonious, but can only be described as intrigue and chaos.


    The state of all social strata can also be said to be full of vitality and everything is in full swing.


    ??White supremacy organizations first appeared during the Federal Civil War, also known as the "KKK", and like to achieve their goals through violent means.


    Compared to the "KKK", the "First Order" is undoubtedly a younger brother within a younger brother.


    ?Michelle pulled out all the information about the organization, and Luo An learned that the members of the organization were young and their slogans, programs, etc. were plagiarized from other organizations.


    The organization has a slogan that declares, ��It is people of color and immigrants who have brought crime, monopoly and violence to this land.��


    ? Luo An grinned. Those Indians with numb scalps probably felt the same way.


    ? Los Angeles and San Francisco are two cities, one in central California and the other in northern California. They are about 560 kilometers apart and it takes more than 6 hours to drive there.


    Fortunately, the FBI''s Los Angeles branch had several small planes, so Luo An submitted an application to the team leader Potente Byrne, and then took Mona and Michelle there on a small plane under the guidance of the pilot. FBI branch in San Francisco.


    In less than two hours, Luo An and the others arrived at the FBI San Francisco branch, and Mona also found new clues.


    ??Stop typing on the keyboard, Mona looked very solemn:


    ��I hacked into Tom Hamilton��s computer and found in his chat history that he had recently contacted a captain who had recently retired from the army.


    ??The captain''s last task was to take care of the armory. When he left the job, the captain took some things from the armory. "


    "what?"


    ��Two GB gas bombs.��


    Michelle looked at Luo An in confusion:


    ��What does GB mean?��


    Luo An��s face darkened instantly:


    "Sarin!"


    Sarin gas mainly attacks the connection between the nerves and muscles of the human body. It only takes a few minutes to paralyze a person from head to toe, making them unable to move and eventually unable to even breathe.


    Such pain usually lasts for 10-15 minutes, and eventually the person is tortured to death.


    ��Fu-k.��


    ?Luo An took out his mobile phone with a dark face and asked:


    ��Did Tom Hamilton buy those two gas bombs?��


    ��Not yet, but the transaction time has been agreed upon.��


    ??Mona quickly scrolled down the chat page, then suddenly raised her head and said with a serious face:


    ��Just four hours later, in an abandoned parking lot south of San Francisco!��


    ��OK!��


    ? Luo An immediately pressed the button after hearing this and began to contact the San Francisco FBI branch and the local SWAT team.


    Later, Luo An also called the local disease control department in San Francisco and asked them to prepare a large number of antidote shots just in case.


    Upon learning of the existence of poison gas bombs, the FBI''s San Francisco branch immediately exploded and immediately dispatched two investigation teams and two SWAT teams to the target location together with Luo An and the others.


    ��Hello, Leader Greenwood, I have heard your name for a long time, but I didn��t expect you to be younger than I thought.��


    ?In an extended black personnel carrier, a middle-aged white man with a slicked back hair, sunken eye sockets, and stubble stretched out his hand to shake hands with Luo An and introduced himself:


    ��I am the leader of tonight��s operation, just call me Kevin.��


    ��Hello, Captain Kevin.��


    Luo An shook hands with the other party, exchanged a few brief greetings, and then asked:


    ��How are the preparations for the antidote injection going?��


    ��The situation is not ideal.��


    ?Captain Kevin��s face didn��t look very good. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does have antidote shots for sarin gas, but the quantity is very small.


    ?The situation tonight is too sudden, and the CDC can do nothing in a short time. Currently, there are less than ten antidote needles in the hands of more than 30 team members. The reason why we do not choose to arrest people in the city is mainly because we are afraid of unexpected situations and gas bombs leaking in the city.


    ??The transaction address that Tom Hamilton and the captain discussed was a remote abandoned parking lot with few residents around, only some homeless people.


    ? In order not to alert the enemy, the FBI San Francisco branch had no plans to evacuate the homeless people. It was best to capture the two people who were preparing to trade gas bombs alive.


    When the detoxification needles are not enough, the solution given above is to be more careful when taking action and never let the bullets hit the two gas bombs.


    ����


    After hearing Captain Kevin��s words, Luo An��s eyelids jumped sharply.


    ?Taking a deep breath, he decided to let Mona and Michelle stay in the car later, farther away from the action site. If he found something wrong, he would run away quickly.


    Everyone quickly arrived at the target location and found that the area around the abandoned parking lot was very empty and not suitable for an ambush.


    There was an abandoned factory building only three hundred meters to the southwest, so Captain Kevin sent two snipers to the location of the factory building to hide them at a high place.


    ?Several personnel carriers were hiding further away, and two teams of SWAT members and Luo An and others were hiding further away.


    ? Nearly two hours have passed since I contacted the FBI San Francisco branch, plus the branch contacted the dispatch team and rushed here.


    So Luo An and others did not wait long, and a black Toyota Camry slowly drove towards the parking lot from a distance.


    ??The Camry drove into the parking lot. The driver had no intention of getting out of the car, but waited quietly.


    Upon seeing this, Captain Kevin was about to press the communicator and let the SWAT team and snipers control the man first, when Luo An suddenly reached out and suppressed him.


    ?In another direction not far away, a white Coward suddenly appeared and drove into the parking lot from a distance with lights on.


    ?Two cars faced each other far away in the abandoned parking lot. Each of them flashed their lights a few times to confirm that the code was correct. The driver''s doors of the two cars opened at the same time.


    ?A strong black man and a middle-aged white man, each carrying a bag, slowly appeared in front of the ambushing Captain Kevin, SWAT team members and others.


    Roan frowned when he saw this scene. Tom Hamilton is a white supremacist. How could he do business with black people?


    ?At this time, in the abandoned parking lot, illuminated by the headlights of two cars, the white man Tom Hamilton was shaking hands with the black captain.


    ?At the same time, the voices of the two snipers rang out from Captain Kevin��s communicator:


    ��The target person has been targeted.��


    ??Captain Kevin did not answer, but quietly watched the transaction scene in the parking lot. The black captain and Tom finished their greetings, and then came the scene of looking at each other''s money and goods.


    Upon seeing this, Captain Kevin waved his hand suddenly and said:


    ��Action!��


    As soon as the words fell, a group of SWAT team members who had been waiting for a long time immediately raised their weapons and surrounded the two people in the parking lot from all directions, shouting sternly:


    ��Don��t move!��


    ��Put your hands behind your head!��


    ��Get down on the ground! Hurry! Get down on the ground!��


    The sudden appearance of the crowd startled Tom and the black captain. Tom reacted and cursed loudly. He immediately took out a pistol from his waist, aimed it at the black captain''s head and prepared to pull the trigger:


    ��Sonof! You **** farm implement, how dare you lie to me?!��


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    The next second, under Captain Kevin''s astonished gaze, Luo An, who had taken out his pistol at some point, fired four shots in a row. Four gunshots rang out. The pistol held by Tom spattered a burst of sparks and fell to the ground. His right hand There was also a splatter of blood on the arms and the left and right thighs.


    ?The next second, several SWAT members swarmed forward, threw Tom and the black captain to the ground, took out handcuffs and cuffed their hands tightly.


    The two were successfully captured. Luo An blew his gun and put away his pistol. Captain Kevin turned his head, with an expression of surprise and shock on his face:


    "Leader Greenwood, you..."


    ? Luo An grinned, and before he could speak, a SWAT team member suddenly shouted in the middle of the parking lot:


    ��Sir! The gas bomb is fake! The money in the bag is also fake!��


    ???��

 Chapter 498： The truth about the poison gas case

    Chapter 498 The truth about the poison gas case


    An abandoned parking lot in southern San Francisco.


    The shouts of SWAT members attracted the attention of everyone present.


    Captain Luo An and Captain Kevin quickly walked to the package in the center of the crowd. They lowered their heads and examined it carefully. They found that in the money pocket of the white man Tom Hamilton, only a small part of the top layer contained a few stacks of real money, and the rest was made with his hands. A fake dollar bill that feels off when you touch it.


    ??The **** bag used by the black captain to hold the gas bombs was not a real gas bomb, but just two prop models covered with a metal shell of the gas bomb.


    Luo An and Captain Kevin raised their heads and saw the speechlessness in each other''s eyes.


    Before they could say anything, Tom Hamilton and the black captain, who also saw clearly the objects in each other��s packages, glared at each other and cursed:


    ��Fu-kYouNigger! You piece of trash, a piece of farm equipment! How dare you lie to me with fake cannonballs!��


    ��You��re getting fake money too! My cousin raised me! You whitemoron!��


    Hearing Tom Hamilton calling himself a farm tool, the black captain also lost his temper and immediately cursed a lot of discriminatory words against white people.


    ?Coupled with the black rap talent, the captain''s curse words were very rhythmic and rhythmic, which made Tom Hamilton so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he had no chance to interrupt.


    ������xN


    ? The SWAT team members and FBI agents at the scene all had black lines in their heads when they saw this scene. Luo An waved his hands and asked everyone to quickly pull the two of them up from the ground and **** them back to the FBI San Francisco branch building.


    After the hospital treated Tom Hamilton''s gunshot wound, after a brief interrogation, Tom Hamilton explained the entire incident.


    Almost consistent with Luo An��s previous reasoning, Tom Hamilton found Professor Lloyd Webster in an Internet chat room in order to buy poison gas from him, and then use the poison gas to create a massacre of people of color in downtown San Francisco. large-scale activities.


    On the day of the transaction, Professor Lloyd Webster''s son committed suicide by jumping off a building, which made the professor lose his mood and motivation for trading, so he skipped the transaction and made Tom Hamilton''s trip in vain.


    Tom Hamilton later contacted the professor online, questioned him, and planned to buy the bottle of poison gas from the professor, but the professor refused to trade.


    ?Threatening the professor with his life, the unconcerned professor said that it didn''t matter if he died. Tom Hamilton was extremely angry but had no choice but to give up the goal of buying poison gas from the professor.


    ??When a poison gas case broke out in a Los Angeles bank, Tom Hamilton saw the news on TV and learned from the media that the poison gas was composed of botulinum toxin. Tom Hamilton immediately understood that the professor had hidden the poison gas there.


    ??Because he was worried that the FBI would find out about the professor, the professor would be interrogated and then confess himself, hindering his noble plan to eliminate people of color, Tom Hamilton decided to go to the professor''s house and kill him instead of doing anything else.


    But the professor also saw the news on TV. Filled with guilt and regret, he committed suicide by swallowing a gun. Before his death, he wrote a long suicide note in which he wrote the entire incident in detail.


    Not long after the professor died, Tom Hamilton sneaked into his home. He did not expect that the professor would commit suicide, but the moment he saw the suicide note, Tom immediately decided to take it and destroy it, then delete the chat history between the two on the computer, and finally He left the house quietly.


    As for taking fake money when trading with the black captain, it was because Tom Hamilton had no intention of trading with the other party from the beginning. Instead, he planned to shoot and kill the other party directly after successfully obtaining the gas bomb.


    ?The reason why Tom Hamilton did this is very simple. He said that he is a member of the "First Order" and a white supremacist. Black people should not live in this world. Killing black people is a waste of bullets.


    After interrogating Tom Hamilton, Luo An and others turned around and walked into another interrogation room to interrogate the black captain. They soon learned from the other party the location of the two gas bombs, which was in the basement of the black captain''s home.


    At the same time, Luo An and others also learned the reason why the black captain traded fake gas bombs:


    The black captain said that he was a patriot. As a soldier, he knew very well how many people sarin gas bombs would kill and the horrific impact they would have. In order to protect federal citizens and peace, he had no intention of actually selling those two sarin gas bombs. Gas bombs. Of course, if you love your country, your own life is also important.


    So the black captain agreed to the deal and planned to use fake cannonballs to swindle some money from Tom Hamilton.


    ������x2


    After the interrogation, Captain Kevin quickly sent people to search and recover the two gas bombs. Luo An walked out of the interrogation room and was very emotional. The land of the Federation really does not support idle people. It is full of talents, and there are all kinds of crouching dragons and phoenixes emerging in endlessly.


    ?? After being busy for most of the night, Luo An and the other three had a good night''s rest at a hotel not far from the FBI''s San Francisco branch, and walked into the building the next day to continue working on the case.


    ??After a brief discussion with Captain Kevin, the FBI''s San Francisco branch finally agreed to Luo An''s request. They would send a fully armed team to safely **** Tom Hamilton to the FBI''s Los Angeles branch.


    The case of the "First Order" group of white supremacists and the two gas bombs found in the black captain''s house were left to Captain Kevin and others.


    ??Luo An nodded and agreed. First, the two events happened in San Francisco after all. As the leader of the special investigation team in Los Angeles, it was not convenient for him to intervene.


    Second, the "First Order" organization has over a hundred members and is involved in racial discrimination. The case is complicated and difficult to handle. Luo An had no intention of handling that case.


    As for the two gas bombs discovered by the black captain, they still need to communicate with the military later, and there are more and more complicated things involved.


    ??The only case Luo An was responsible for was the poison gas case. Now that the real culprit of the case has been caught, there is no need to add any extra details. It is better to build a good relationship with the FBI''s San Francisco branch, Captain Kevin, and others, and achieve multiple goals with one stone.


    On the way back to Los Angeles, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Potente Byrne, the team leader, and briefly described the case and the current situation of the suspect.


    ��The suspect has been brought back?!��


    ?After listening to the narration on the phone, Potente-Bourne had a look of astonishment on his face, then slammed the table and stood up, laughing and praising Luo An repeatedly.


    ?? As soon as Potente Byrne entered the office this morning, the mayor of Los Angeles called him to inquire about the situation because of the various negative reports in the news media. He was asking about the progress of the case investigation.


    In order not to disturb the progress of Luo An��s investigation, Potente-Byrne briefly introduced the clues he had found before, causing the mayor of Los Angeles to hang up the phone with some dissatisfaction.


    Potente-Bourne understood the hard work of frontline personnel. In order not to disturb Luo An, he originally planned to call Luo An during lunch time to inquire about the progress of the case.


    ?But he didn��t expect that Luo An called him first and gave him such a big surprise!


    After asking about the approximate time the **** team would arrive in Los Angeles, Potente Byrne took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart and said seriously:


    ��The suspect must be brought back to Los Angeles intact. I will report this matter to the director immediately and ask for credit for your special investigation team.


    ??As the leader of the special investigation team, you, Luo An, are indispensable for the investigation and handling of this case and the successful arrest of the suspect, as well as Mona and Michelle, you have also worked hard! "


    Mona and Michelle''s faces were full of smiles, and they were in a very comfortable mood. Potente Byrne had never praised them so much in the past. This case was such a big deal, and they participated in it and solved it with their own hands. Afterwards, It will definitely be a great addition to your career resume.


    Not to mention Luo An. He was the biggest profiteer from solving this gas case. He has been fully responsible for the investigation and direction of the work. He also personally identified and arrested the suspect. No one can erase his role in the investigation. Among them, the first credit has been definitely taken.


    Hang up the phone, Potente-Byrne immediately got up and went to the director''s office to report the situation. Luo An and the other three sat in the second car behind the **** vehicle, waiting quietly to return to Los Angeles.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 499： Return to Los Angeles, report the case, have a late birthday

    Chapter 499 Return to Los Angeles, report on the case, birthday dinner


    On the way back to Los Angeles, an agent from the FBI''s San Francisco branch drove the car. Luo An sat in the back seat of the car, bored and looking at the scenery outside the window.


    ??Mona held her laptop and tilted her head to look at Luo An''s profile, feeling an inexplicable emotion in her heart.


    In just one year and a few months, Luo An took up the position of leader of the special investigation team at a speed that is unbelievable to ordinary people. Coupled with the detection of this poison gas case, although his position will not change in a short time, But his status and reputation within the FBI will definitely increase a lot.


    As Luo An��s girlfriend, Mona is naturally proud and happy for Luo An.


    ?While she was happy, Mona was also a little troubled. It was a good thing that Luo An was excellent, but he seemed to be a little too good.


    The Federation is a country that values ??family. Various families have always had a tradition of marriage. Through marriage, families are bound together and talents are absorbed into their own families.


    ?Judging from Luo An''s performance, some families have definitely noticed him now. Although Mona is Luo An''s girlfriend, her girlfriend is not his wife, and wives may get divorced.


    Thinking of some watches that were younger than her, bigger than her, longer than her legs, and prettier than her, a strange light flashed in Mona''s eyes.


    ??Mona kept staring at her, attracting Luo An''s attention. He turned around and asked:


    ��What are you looking at me for?��


    "nothing."


    ??Mona shook her head, keeping some things that Lacey had taught her in the past deep in her heart, smiled, changed the topic, and asked:


    ��The suspect in the poison gas case has been caught and the case has entered the final stage. What should we do next?��


    ��What��s not to do? Just do the finishing work slowly.��


    ��What about those bank robbers?��


    "wait."


    ��Wait? What do you mean?��


    ��Waiting for news from Lacey.��


    Luo An stretched his waist vigorously. When Lacey followed Cogglin to Las Vegas, Luo An made a rough plan for Lacey. The content required Lacey, who was experienced, to adapt to circumstances and calculate the time. It should be almost there on the west side.


    ? Mona and Michelle looked puzzled when they heard this, but now that there were other people in the car, Luo An stopped discussing the matter and planned to return to the special investigation team to explain the situation.


    Escorting is a very hard job, and riding in a car is equally hard. Luo An and others took the car for more than six hours from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The three of them suffered backaches, leg cramps, and it took a long time to recover after getting off the car. .


    ?However, Luo An and the three of them were nothing, because the FBI San Francisco branch agents responsible for escorting them had to rest for a few hours and then drive back, which took more than six hours.


    ��Thank you for your hard work.��


    In the parking lot of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch building, Luo An sympathetically patted the shoulder of the agent who was holding the three of them while driving. Just as he was about to say something, team leader Potente Byrne came with a few A detective came over.


    After waving his hand and letting the detectives behind him handle the handover of suspect Tom Hamilton and deal with food and rest issues for the escorts in the San Francisco branch, Potente Byrne grabbed Roan''s hand. Arm, pulled him towards the direction of the building:


    ��Luo An, your special investigation team handled this case very well. The director wants to see you.��


    ��Yes, sir.��


    ??Roan hurriedly kept up with Potente-Bourne, and at the same time looked back at Mona and Michelle. Mona raised her hand and scanned it. They had long been used to it and knew what they were going to do next.


    Walking straight to the director''s office, Director Nasim couldn''t hide the joy in his eyes when he saw Luo An walking into the office.


    Several people died in the gas attack, and a large number of people were hospitalized in coma. It took several days to disinfect the entire building. The First Republic Bank of California directly announced that the building would be on holiday for a month, and the work was transferred to other branches.


    ??Coupled with the chaotic reports from major news media in Los Angeles, which described the incident as a terrorist attack, Nasim, Director of the FBI Los Angeles Division, also had a headache and was under a lot of pressure. A few hours ago, I heard Potente Byrne say that Luo An had led the special investigation team to solve the case and was currently escorting the prisoner back to Los Angeles. Director Nasim''s eyes lit up, and then he sternly ordered Potente. Ter-Bourne, when Luo An returns to Los Angeles, he must be brought to his office as soon as possible.


    ??When Luo An and the two walked into the office, a smile suddenly appeared on Director Nasim''s face. He stood up and walked to Luo An, patted his arms vigorously, and motioned for the two to sit down.


    The secretary brought three cups of coffee to the three people in the room, smiled at Luo An, turned and left the office. Director Nasim sat back in his chair and asked Luo An to introduce the investigation process of the case.


    ?Picked up the coffee and took a sip. Luo An pondered for a few seconds and started talking about the test report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


    ??This case itself is not particularly complex, but the excessive number of injuries and deaths easily attracts attention, and it is superimposed with the bank robbery case, making it easy to go in the wrong direction of the investigation and miss some details.


    ?Compared with the description of the team supervisor, when Luo An faced Director Nasim, his description of the investigation process of this case was more ups and downs and more spectacular.


    It��s not that Director Nasim likes to hear this kind of story, but Luo An guesses that Director Nasim will most likely hold a press conference later, and the ups and downs of the case will attract the attention of the media.


    Sure enough, after listening to Luo An''s case introduction, Director Nasim''s eyes were full of approval. He didn''t say too many words. He just nodded Luo An a few times with his hand, then took out an invitation letter from his desk and handed it to Luo An. An, with a smile on his face said:


    ��You will definitely be able to handle the follow-up work of this case properly, so I won��t say more.


    In a moment, our FBI Los Angeles branch will hold a large press conference on this gas case. Luo An, Potente, you will attend with me.


    In addition, this is an invitation letter from the Mayor of Los Angeles to his birthday party. The mayor personally sent it to you. Luo An, you must not miss it that day. "


    After Potente-Byrne told Director Nasim about the detection of the case, Director Nasim also called the mayor of Los Angeles to communicate about the matter.


    The mayor of Los Angeles was a little skeptical at first, but when he learned that the organizer of the case was Roanne Greenwood, the leader of the special investigation team, the mayor of Los Angeles, who had experienced the [First Lady Bombing Case] ??before, was exposed. Smiling, he then asked the secretary to add Roan Greenwood''s name to the banquet list, and at the same time sent an invitation letter to Roan and asked Director Nasim to help deliver it.


    Luo An took the invitation and was slightly stunned when he saw the time on it, and then agreed.


    Director Nasim nodded with satisfaction, and the three continued to communicate for a while. Luo An and Potente-Byrne left the director''s office first.


    Returning to the Special Investigation Team, there were actually four people here. In addition to Mona and Michelle, Winslow and Chenelle also appeared in the office area.


    Luo An put the invitation aside and frowned slightly:


    "you��"


    ��Sorry, team leader, we have����


    ?Winslow and Chenelle stood up instantly, with awkward and complicated expressions on their faces.


    Before the two of them finished explaining, Luo An, who guessed what happened, waved his hand to say we would talk later, then walked into the team leader''s office and started to change clothes.


    Director Nasim was impatient and held a press conference right away. This did not leave him and Potente-Byrne with much time. The two of them had to discuss what matters in the case were not convenient to talk about later.


    While Luo An was changing clothes, Winslow picked up the invitation:


    ��Our team leader actually got an invitation letter to the Los Angeles Mayor��s birthday party?��


    ��Birthday party? The mayor��s or the mayor��s wife��s?��


    ?Michelle next to me took a sip of coffee and said:


    ��I remember that the daughter of the mayor of Los Angeles seems to be twenty years old this year. She has no boyfriend, is very beautiful, and has always wanted to go to Hollywood.��


    ��??!��


    ??Mona��s ears immediately stood up when she heard this.

 Chapter 500： Scared Mona, Laceys emergency call

    Chapter 500 Scared Mona, Lacey��s emergency call


    FBI Los Angeles branch building, a large conference room.


    ?At this time, the conference room was full of people, and a large number of news media workers holding microphones and cameras were making a lot of noise.


    ?Potent Byrne, the team leader, stood behind the podium with a federal standard eight-tooth fake smile on his face as he answered questions.


    Under the flickering lights, Roan sat on the chair behind Potente-Bourn, wearing the same standard fake smile.


    Because Hollywood is home to stars, directors and film companies from all walks of life, news media workers in Los Angeles ask almost any question compared to the more serious New York media.


    When Director Nasim took the stage, the reporters were a little more restrained and asked many questions about the poison gas case.


    ??Team leader Potente Byrne came on stage, and the reporters began to go off topic.


    ??When it was Luo An''s turn to take the stage, the reporters'' questions had completely shifted in other directions.


    ��Leader Greenwood, can you tell me about your current emotional state?��


    ��Captain Greenwood, how much is the salary offered by the FBI? You are so handsome and have great skills. Do you have any thoughts on developing your career in Hollywood? For example, make some action movies?��


    Luo An: ������


    After replying with a lot of "no comment" and "please don''t ask questions unrelated to the case", the press conference ended and Luo An finally left the conference room.


    Seeing Luo An''s long sigh of relief, Director Nasim chuckled, then patted Luo An on the shoulder kindly, mentioned the dinner party again, and asked him not to be late that day, and then left with his secretary and others. this area.


    ??Team leader Potente Byrne stepped forward, patted Luo An on the shoulder, and said with a smile:


    ��You have to get used to this kind of thing, just get used to it.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An rubbed his temples helplessly. He might not be able to fully adapt to this kind of thing in a short time.


    Chatting and laughing with Potente Byrne, he took the elevator upstairs and arrived at the floor where the investigation team was located. Luo An left first. As soon as he returned to the office area of ??the special investigation team, Mona took the dinner invitation and followed him closely. Entered the team leader''s office.


    Luo An took off his coat and started to change his clothes, his face full of doubts:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��It��s nothing, I just want to help you bring the invitation in so that it doesn��t get lost outside.��


    ??Mona smiled, put the invitation on the desk, then stepped forward and started to help Luo An sort out his clothes, while quietly asking about the origin of the invitation.


    ??There is nothing to hide, so Luo An briefly talked about what happened in the director''s office.


    ??After the brief description, Luo An also changed his clothes. He turned to look at Mona, raised his brows, and asked:


    ��What, did you find something wrong with the mayor of Los Angeles?��


    ��That��s not true.��


    ??Mona shook her head, stretched out her hand to help Luo smooth out the wrinkles on his suit, and replied with a smile:


    ��I just did a quick search on the Los Angeles mayor��s family.


    Apart from the fact that his 20-year-old daughter is very beautiful and looks like a group of stars in Hollywood without makeup, there is nothing special about her. "


    ??Luo An rolled his eyes speechlessly. He really didn''t know about the mayor of Los Angeles'' daughter, but how could he not understand the meaning of Mona''s words.


    ??So Luo An suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged Mona''s slim waist with force, looked down at her pretty face, and asked with a smile:


    ��Why, are you afraid that I will find another woman?��


    ??Mona blinked, raised her head and nipped the corner of Luo An''s mouth:


    ��I am 26 years old this year and will be 30 soon. I am already old.��


    ����


    ??Luo An��s forehead was full of black lines, but knowing Mona��s previous life experience and family situation, he could understand the panic and uneasiness in Mona��s heart.


    With his mind spinning slightly, Luo An gently bit Mona''s lips, leaned into her ear and whispered:


    ��How could I go to find other women? How could you find those people...��


    ��Shut up!��


    ??? Before Luo An finished speaking the next words, Mona''s face turned red instantly, she pushed Luo An away hard and stared at him with wide eyes:


    ��Luo An!��


    ��Don��t be angry, just kidding.��


    ??Luo An chuckled and put his arms around Mona again, comforting her for a moment. He gently kissed Mona''s ear and whispered:


    "We met in New York, came to Los Angeles together, went to Europe together, and worked on cases together... We have walked so far together hand in hand. You know you are the only one in my heart." He buried his head in Luo An''s chest and held his hands tightly. Holding Luo An''s waist, Mona was silent for a few seconds and whispered:


    "Sorry, Luo An, I didn''t mean to...I was just a little scared."


    "I see."


    ?Luo An reached out to help Mona smooth her hair and whispered:


    ��I��m getting off work soon, how about we go buy some candles and red wine later.


    Since we moved into that villa until now, we have not had a candlelight dinner. "


    ??Mona nodded, and just as she was about to continue saying something, there was a sudden knock on the office door.


    ??Mona quickly let go of Luo An, straightened her clothes and expression and walked to the side. Luo An coughed lightly and quickly walked forward and opened the office door:


    "What''s wrong?"


    The person who knocked on the door was Michelle. When she saw the door opened, she apologized first, and then quickly handed the phone to Luo An:


    ��Lacie is in an emergency.��


    ?Luo An frowned when he heard this and quickly took the phone:


    ��It��s me, Luo An, what��s wrong?��


    ��There is an emergency.��


    There was also the sound of cars driving fast in the background on the other end of the phone. Lacey��s voice was a little anxious and she quickly explained:


    ��Luo An, Coglin was kidnapped and I��m following him!��


    Roan''s expression changed, and he immediately raised his finger and pointed at Winslow and Cheniel in the office area, and said loudly:


    ��You call the FBI and police in Las Vegas immediately and ask them to help stop this person!��


    ��Understood!�� x2


    ?Winslow and Chenelle nodded heavily and quickly picked up the landline phones on the table to contact others. Roan followed Michelle and said quickly:


    ��You should contact the team leader now and apply for a small plane to Las Vegas. It will leave in twenty minutes!��


    ��I��m going right away!��


    ?Michelle quickly turned around and ran to execute the order. Roan then picked up the phone and began to ask Lacey what happened, while giving Mona an apologetic look in the office.


    ??The situation is urgent now, Mona understands the importance, gives Luo An a reassuring look, and then quickly leaves the office and returns to her place to start packing her things.


    Meanwhile, Lacey on the other end of the phone began to explain carefully what had happened.


    Since arriving in Las Vegas, Coghlin has been spending money like crazy: gambling, gourmet food, high-end suits, renting sports cars to pick up girls, and one night he even found six women.


    Since he bought a high-end suit worth over 10,000 yuan, Coglin has been wearing it every day, so Lacey secretly put a locator in the pocket of the suit while Coglin was gambling.


    This afternoon, Coghlin lost another sum of money in the casino, and then he found a restaurant to start eating.


    ??Lacie thought that today would be like any other day, that Coglin would go on to spend money to find a few women, and then go back to the hotel to play games together.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as Coghlin walked into the parking lot and was about to drive his newly rented fourth sports car, a Buick car next to the sports car suddenly jumped out of three strong men wearing black hoods.


    ?Three strong men knocked out Coglin with several punches, then put Coglin into a Buick and drove away.


    ��I��m following that Buick car at a distance now.��


    Lacie on the other end of the phone said:


    ��Judging from the route, the three people should be planning to leave Las Vegas.��


    While Luo An and others quickly packed their things, Mona put forward her own guess:


    ��Could it be that Coghlin has been too ostentatious these days and attracted the attention of some red-eyed guys?��


    ��There is such a possibility.��


    Chenelle nodded, Luo An did not discuss this topic further, and then asked:


    ��Lacie, have you seen the license plate number of that car? Mona may be able to find out the situation of that car.��


    ��I...Fu-k!��


    �O


    As soon as Lacey started speaking, she suddenly cursed, and then there was a sudden screeching sound of brakes and a car collision on the other end of the phone!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 501： Lacey gets into a car accident, weird new situation

    Chapter 501 Lacey had a car accident, a strange new situation


    ??What happened suddenly on the phone shocked Mona, Michelle Winslow and Chenelle, and Roan''s expression also changed:


    ��Lacie! How are you? Lacey?!��


    ?Luo An shouted several times in succession, but no one answered on the other end of the phone.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Luo An looked at Winslow with a gloomy face and asked:


    ��What do the FBI Las Vegas branch and the local police say?��


    Winslow frowned and replied:


    ��We are transferring people, but it will take a while.��


    ?Mona��s face was immediately filled with displeasure:


    ��By the time they finished mobilizing the people, the robbers had all run out of Nevada!��


    Luo An suppressed Mona��s words and said seriously:


    ��Let them send someone to check on Lacey first!��


    "clear."


    Winslow continued to communicate. At the same time, Michelle hung up the phone in her hand, raised her head and said loudly:


    ��The small plane is ready!��


    ��Let��s go now!��


    ����


    ? Los Angeles is in the federal state of California, and Las Vegas is in the federal state of Nevada.


    ?However, the distance between the two is not far. It takes more than four hours to drive. Luo An and others took a small plane from the FBI''s Los Angeles branch and arrived in Las Vegas in just over 50 minutes.


    As soon as Luo An and others got off the plane, they received a call from the local FBI in Las Vegas. They said that they could not find the car driven by the three robbers and that the group of people had disappeared without a trace.


    ??However, the local police in Las Vegas said they found Lacey and sent her to the hospital, where she is currently undergoing surgery.


    Leading the special investigation team, he borrowed an eight-seater MPV from the FBI''s Las Vegas branch. While driving to the hospital, Luo An first thanked the Las Vegas police for arriving, and then asked Lacey how injured she was and how the scene of the car accident was.


    ��The female detective suffered some wounds on her head, and some injuries on her arms and left leg.��


    ??The police sergeant on the other end of the phone had a good attitude and explained:


    ��After preliminary judgment, the cause of the accident was that when the female detective was driving fast, someone shot and blew out the front tire of the car.


    ??The female detective subconsciously wanted to straighten the car, but opposite her, there was a car that was approaching at a fast speed. The front wheel of that car was also damaged by a bullet, so the two cars collided together. "


    Speaking of which, the police sergeant said that Lacey��s driving skills were good.


    Judging from the obvious dark ruts left on the road at the scene, Lacey reacted very quickly and quickly used the unoccupied passenger seat to push against the car that was also out of control.


    But the owner of the out-of-control car obviously had average skills. Not only did he fail to react, he even stepped on the wrong accelerator, directly knocking Lacey''s car sideways, and then pushed it against the street light, causing Lacey to be hit from two sides and forced to be injured.


    ����OK, thank you.��


    Hang up the phone, Luo An closed his eyes and lowered his head in thought. Mona next to her was slightly relieved when she learned that Lacey had been sent to the hospital. Winslow thought of something and said in a condensed voice:


    ��So, the three guys who kidnapped Coghlin and their accomplices.


    The accomplices discovered Lacey who was following her, and then they blew out the tires of her car and organized her to continue following her. "


    Chenelle shook her head and retorted:


    ��Lacie said before that because of the tracker, there was a long distance between her and the Buick sedan driven by the three people.


    Such a long distance, coupled with Lacey''s tracking skills and cautious habits, it was impossible for the three people to detect Lacey. "


    ?Michelle looked puzzled:


    ��You mean the shooter was not an accomplice of the three robbers?��


    ?Mona looked stern:


    ��Is there a third party?��


    A few people looked at each other, and finally they all turned their heads and turned their eyes to Luo An next to them.


    After a few seconds of silence, Luo An narrowed his eyes and said seriously:


    ��The original tracking and positioning device in Lacey��s hand was damaged due to the car accident just now, so we went two ways in parallel.


    ?Winslow, Chenelle, you guys will go to the scene of the car accident with me later, check the surveillance and other circumstances, and see if you can find the guy who shot the tire.


    ?The opponent fired two shots in a short period of time and blew out the tires of two high-speed cars. Regardless of whether the opponent was two people or one person, the shooting skills were absolutely extraordinary.


    Be careful when the time comes. If you find something is wrong, remember to seek help first. "    "clear. "


    ? Winslow and Chenelle nodded heavily, Roan then looked at Mona and Michelle and said:


    ��Michelle, you two go to the hospital to take care of Lacey.


    ?? Lacey, if you remember the license plate number of that car, Mona, use your computer to try to find them. "


    "no problem."


    Mona and Michelle nodded in agreement, and the MPV arrived at the hospital first. They got out of the car and rushed to the operating room where Lacey was. Chenelle stepped on the accelerator, pulled Roan and Winslow, and headed there quickly. An investigation is underway at the scene of the crash.


    Because the car accident occurred on a main traffic road, in order not to delay traffic, the scene of the car accident was cleaned up soon, and the two damaged cars were pulled to the area responsible for the FBI.


    By the time Luo An and the other three arrived at the scene of the car accident, it was already seven o''clock in the evening. Under the illumination of the street lights, the ruts caused by several brakes on the road were very noticeable.


    Holding the flashlight and shaking it, the three of them walked to the location where the rut marks first appeared. They looked to the opposite side from where the tire was shot. There was a six-story building with several businesses open on the first floor. of shops.


    Luo An and the three of them looked at each other and went to those shops to ask if they were under surveillance.


    Unfortunately, there is indeed surveillance, but it is all aimed at the inside of the store.


    ?Only one supermarket has surveillance facing the outside, and the monitorable area is only a small part of the supermarket entrance.


    ?Luo An then asked:


    ��In the car accident just now, did you see anyone or anything that looked wrong?��


    At the entrance of the supermarket, the young female cashier with short red hair shook her head. Seeing this, Luo An took out twenty dollars from his pocket.


    The cashier took the dollar and stuffed it into the pocket behind his butt. He raised his hand and pointed to a streetlight not far away. He chewed bubble gum and said:


    ��A minute or two before the car accident happened, a black Ford car drove quickly and stopped suddenly under the street light.


    A man about the same height as you and about the same height as you got out of the car wearing a mask and a hat. He was holding a pistol in his right hand and two things that should be mineral water bottles in his left hand. I don��t know if I saw it correctly.


    ??The man put two mineral water bottles in front of his pistol and fired two shots very quickly, with little sound, and then the two cars collided with each other. "


    Roan��s eyebrows jumped when he heard this, Chenier��s face changed slightly, and Winslow continued to ask:


    "Then what?"


    The female cashier didn''t answer, she just blew a big bubble and looked at him quietly.


    Winslow''s eyelids twitched, and he took out five dollars from his pocket. The female cashier took it smoothly...she didn''t take it, and tugged hard before grabbing it.


    ?Putting the money into her pocket, the female cashier replied calmly:


    ��The man threw the two bottles to a homeless man scavenging and drove away.��


    ��Which direction are you driving in?��


    ��South.��


    After getting the information they wanted, Luo An and the other three walked out of the supermarket. Chenier frowned and whispered:


    ��That man should be a killer.��


    ? She is from the international business department and has seen many wild killers. One of their methods is to fill a plastic bottle with something and make a simple disposable silencer.


    Winslow nodded and added:


    ��The cashier said that the man drove the car here first and was ready to fire the gun after a while.


    ?This shows that the other party has discovered Lacey in advance, drove the car here before Lacey, and then shot Lacey to collide with other cars. "


    Winslow looked puzzled, unable to understand the man''s motive for doing this.


    ?Luo An was silent for a while, then took out his cell phone and called Mona:


    ��How is Lacey doing now?��


    ��She is okay, she has a lot of injuries, but she is very conscious.��


    ??Looking at Lacey who was lying on the hospital bed and talking to Michelle, Mona tapped the keyboard a few times and said:


    ��In addition, Lacey said some good news. She actually prepared two sets of positioning tracking monitors.


    ?The one in the car was smashed, but there is another monitor that can find Coglin who has a locator installed! "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 502： Found Coglin, two bodies at the scene

    Chapter 502: Finding Coghlin, two bodies at the scene


    ?In the south of Las Vegas, an eight-seater MPV was driving slowly southward along the main road.


    In a distant hospital, Lacey was lying on the hospital bed with bandages on her body, while Mona sat beside the hospital bed and typed on the keyboard to investigate the surveillance video.


    ?Michelle just went to Lacey��s residence these days to pick up the second positioning monitor and is currently returning to the hospital.


    Lacey''s mental state was not bad. She asked Mona to help move the pillows, found a more comfortable position, and began to briefly describe the findings she had been following these days on her mobile phone.


    ��Luo An, I suspect there is something wrong with the amount of money robbed in this bank robbery.��


    Lacie shook her neck slightly, hummed and said:


    ��The data given by the bank is that they were robbed of approximately US$3.5 million in cash.


    As for the metal cabinets that were robbed, about two-thirds of the people did not come forward afterwards, so the bank did not know how much those items were worth. In the end, it only gave a figure of approximately US$3 million. "


    "I know."


    ?Winslow was driving. Luo An was holding his mobile phone and nodded slightly while sitting in the back seat of the MPV.


    ?The owners of two-thirds of the metal cabinets knew that their belongings had been robbed, but did not dare to declare the lost items. There is only one possibility in this situation, and that is that those items will not be seen.


    After the anesthesia wore off, Lacey groaned softly at the pain in her head, and she continued:


    ��According to the data given by the bank, they were robbed of a total of about US$6 million, and each of the six robbers probably received about US$1 million.


    I carefully calculated Coghlin��s expenses in the past few days. He lost nearly 500,000 US dollars in the casino. In addition, he stayed in luxury hotels, found different women every night, and rented luxury sports cars. These expenses added up to Up, it��s already over $700,000����


    ��But before Coglin was kidnapped, he was still in a calm state, which shows that the 700,000 US dollars has not hurt his muscles and bones.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and continued following Lacey''s analysis:


    ��In other words, the $3.5 million in cash that was robbed was only a small part of what the robbers harvested. The majority of what they harvested came from the unreported items in the metal cabinets.��


    After Luo An finished speaking, Chenier''s eyes moved slightly and she made her own guess:


    ��Could the three people who kidnapped Coghlin and the person who blew out the tires of Lacey��s car be the owners of those metal cabinets?


    ?They lost a large amount of shady money, so they began to investigate this group of bank robbers privately, and finally found the somewhat swaggering Coghlin. "


    ��It is indeed possible, but����


    ?Luo An nodded silently for a while, then slowly shook his head.


    In 1971, in London, the capital of Great Britain, almost Northern Ireland, and not quite the United Kingdom, a bank robbery occurred that shocked the entire country:


    A group of robbers dug into a bank vault and stole a large amount of cash and jewelry.


    ??That bank vault also hides a bunch of shady secrets, such as royal **** scandals, murders, political corruption transactions and other information.


    ?After this incident, upper-class people in many countries stopped storing their shady things in banks. Instead, they bought safes at high prices to hide them themselves.


    ?This incident was later adapted into a movie, released in many countries in the Western world, starring a certain bald diver.


    "Wait a moment."


    ?Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered that the movie was released in the same year as the Olympic Games was held in a certain country in the East, that is, 2008.


    The time is now 2006, and this movie may not have been approved yet.


    Some of the new rich people in the Federation, as well as the people in the middle and lower reaches, basically don��t know about the bank robbery decades ago, so they still have the possibility of storing some shameful things in bank metal cabinets.


    Thinking of this, Luo An frowned. Is this really the reason why Coglin was kidnapped?


    ??While Luo An was thinking about the clues, Mona''s excited voice suddenly came from the phone:


    ��Roan, Michelle got the positioning monitor back!��


    "very good!"


    Luo An put aside the speculation in his mind and asked: "Where is the positioning?"


    "Wait a moment."


    Mona on the other end of the phone started to fiddle with the monitor. After ten seconds, she replied loudly:


    ��It��s in Clark County, south of Las Vegas! You need to drive about twenty minutes from there!��


    ��That will take ten minutes.��


    Roan grinned when he heard this, patted Winslow on the shoulder to indicate that he should drive instead, and at the same time said to Mona:


    ��Contact the SWAT team and ask them to quickly go and seal off the area where the location is located!��


    "clear!"


    Mona on the other end of the phone answered loudly, and Luo An also sat in the driver''s seat, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the eight-seater MPV rushed forward like a tiger.


    Clark County is located in the southeast of Las Vegas. Functionally, it is a satellite city of Las Vegas.


    Mainly intended to provide a lower-rent residence for people who work in Las Vegas but are unable to live in Las Vegas due to the high rents.


    ?Eleven minutes passed, and mpv successfully arrived at the area displayed by the positioning. This is the outer suburbs of Clark County, where abandoned factories and a small number of homeless people gather.


    The mpv parked on the side of the road, and several homeless people in the distance immediately cast various looks at it.


    As Luo An and the other three stepped out of the car, they saw that they were holding rifles in their hands, pistols on their waists, and body armor on their chests. The body armor also had the letters FBI written on it. These homeless people were ready to make a move. The innocence in their eyes instantly returned, and many people quickly turned away with expressions of "I was just passing by."


    ??Looking at these homeless people, Roan took Winslow and Chenelle and hurried to the abandoned building where the positioning device was located.


    ?The three of them took weapons and followed Mona''s guidance as they cautiously ascended the stairs, and soon reached the third floor where the positioning device was located.


    ?His nose moved slightly and he smelled a strong smell of blood. Luo An frowned.


    Waving his hand, he signaled Winslow and Chenelle to flank him. Counting down to two, the three of them rushed into the room where the positioning device was located.


    This is a very large room. Judging from the structural layout, this was originally an area where employees of a company worked.


    At this time, this area was empty. Tables, chairs, benches, etc. had long been evacuated by homeless people. There was only dust on the ground and a few discarded wooden boards in the huge area.


    In the center of the room, there was a breathless man lying on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face. Four of the five fingers on his left hand were chopped off. His left foot was smashed to pieces with a hammer-like object. His right arm was cut off from the center and the broken arm was thrown to the ground. In the distance, there is an X-shaped incision on the chest with bone visible, and a large amount of bright red blood is flowing under the body.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ?Seeing clearly that the deceased was Coghlin, Winslow cursed in a low voice, and Chenelle looked ugly:


    ��It seems that the three kidnappers have most likely gotten the information they want.��


    ? It is not difficult to see from the scene at the scene that Coglin experienced brutal torture before his death. Without professional training, more than 95% of him would tell the other party what he wanted to know.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged. He knelt down and carefully examined the blood stains on the ground for a few seconds, then stood up and said:


    ��It didn��t take long for the blood to coagulate. The group of people should have been away for no more than 20 minutes.��


    It takes 5-12 minutes for a blood clot to form.


    Winslow and Chenelle also knew about this. They nodded and were about to speak when Roan suddenly frowned and moved his nose slightly. Then he suddenly picked up the rifle and walked towards another staircase not far away.


    ?Winslow and Chenelle looked puzzled but quickly followed, raising their weapons and following closely.


    The three of them stepped over the broken arms on the ground and walked quickly to another staircase. They looked down the stairs and saw that the ground of this staircase was full of traces of a fight.


    On the stair landing between the third and second floors, a sturdy bald white man was sitting against the wall. There was a deep wound in the main artery of his neck. The blood flow soaked his clothes and the surrounding ground, and his eyes were Yuan stares with unblinking eyes.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 503： The identities of the three kidnappers, prepare for action!

    Chapter 503: The identities of the three kidnappers, prepare for action!


    ?Winslow and Chenelle looked at Luo An in astonishment, wondering how he discovered the anomaly here.


    Luo An walked to the platform and carefully examined the messy footprints and broken glass on the ground for a moment, frowning slightly:


    ��It seems that Mona��s previous speculation was correct. The guy who shot out the tires of Lacey��s car with a gun should belong to a third party.��


    Chenelle briefly inspected the body of the bald man, looked back at Luo An, and said seriously:


    ��The corpse showed no violent resistance before death, or in other words, he didn��t react at all, so the aorta was cut directly. The killer was very powerful.��


    Winslow put away his weapon, thought for a moment, and concluded:


    ��The killer shot out the tires of Lacey��s car and immediately drove after the three kidnappers.


    But he was still a step too late. By the time he arrived here, the three kidnappers had already gotten the information they wanted from Coghlin and killed Coghlin. "


    ��The killer most likely wanted to get some clues from Cogglin, so he clashed with the three kidnappers at this staircase.��


    After speaking, Luo An took out his mobile phone from his pocket, took a photo of the face of the deceased on the stairs, and sent it to Mona to ask her to investigate the identity of the other person. Then he turned to Chenille and said:


    ��Chenelle, you stay here temporarily and hand over to the SWAT team to collect the body.��


    ��OK.��


    Chenelle nodded, and Roan looked at Winslow and said:


    ��Winslow, go find some homeless people nearby, investigate the situation not long ago, and find out where the suspected killer and the other two kidnappers went.


    ?Coglin is dead, I''m afraid only these three guys know the identities of the remaining five bank robbers. "


    "clear."


    ? Winslow nodded heavily, turned around and walked quickly down the stairs.


    Luo An then carefully checked the conditions on the two corpses and found no documents or mobile phones. At this moment, Mona��s voice sounded from the communicator on his chest:


    ��Luo An, I found out the identity of the second deceased person on the stairs.��


    ��Who is he?��


    ��A wanted criminal.��


    In the hospital, Mona sat beside the bed, staring at the text on the computer screen, and introduced:


    "His name is Francisco. He is 38 years old. He has more than a dozen charges including arson, theft, drag racing, kidnapping, fraud, first-degree murder, illegal possession of weapons, assaulting police officers, and prostitution. He is a cross-border criminal recorded within the FBI system. One of the state��s most wanted fugitives.��


    ����


    Luo An''s mouth twitched. This is the first time he has met someone with so many crimes since he came to the Federation.


    Mona on the other end of the communicator continued:


    ��Internal FBI systems show that Francisco was last identified a week ago in Oregon.


    Together with two other wanted criminals, he robbed a gun store in the middle of the night. While killing the owner of the gun store, he also stole a large amount of cash. "


    ��With two other wanted criminals?��


    Cheniere next to her suddenly lit up when she heard this, and Luo An also looked slightly moved and asked:


    ��What are the identities of the two wanted criminals?��


    ��One is named Noble Pollard, who is 35 years old this year; the other is named Barton Pollard, who is 37 years old this year. The two are cousins.��


    There was a crackling keyboard sound on the other end of the communicator, and then Mona introduced:


    ��The charges against them are similar to those against Francisco: arson, theft, speed racing, kidnapping, first-degree murder, illegal possession of weapons, assaulting police officers��


    The difference is that the brothers served as soldiers when they were young and were very capable on the battlefield. However, they were eventually kicked out of the army because they suffered from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and attacked their teammates. "


    ��OK.��


    After Mona''s introduction, Luo Anchen nodded. It seemed that the people who tortured Coglin in so many cruel ways were probably these brothers.


    Turning off the communicator, Luo An just walked down the stairs when he saw Winslow walking over quickly and said urgently:


    "Roan, I asked about the traces of those three people!" Winslow spoke quickly, saying that he had just gone nearby and found a few homeless people who had peeked at their MPV car before. He was holding two dollars in his left hand and two dollars in his right hand. Armed with pistols, the homeless men confessed everything.


    The homeless said that there was a burst of fierce gunfire in this building not long ago, and then a black SUV drove southward in hot pursuit of a black Jeep.


    These homeless people did not see the license plate numbers of the two cars, but they said they were easy to find because there were many bullet marks on the back butts of both cars.


    "very good."


    Chenelle stayed in the building, Winslow got into the passenger seat, and Luo An opened the door and got into the driver''s seat of the MPV. While starting the car, she also told Mona about the new discovery and asked her to quickly search for the two cars.


    Not long after, Mona��s excited shouting came from the contact:


    ��Roan! In Henderson County, southeast of Clark County, the local police received a report a few minutes ago that two cars were racing on the street and shooting each other with guns!


    The reporter��s description of the two cars was exactly the same as what you just said! Both were an SUV and a black Jeep, both cars had massive bullet marks on their butts! "


    ��Good.��


    ? Luo An stepped on the accelerator of the MPV car to the bottom and drove forward quickly while saying:


    ��Contact the local police department in Henderson County and briefly describe the wanted criminal brothers and the three suspected killers, and ask them to help intercept them.


    Also, contact the SWAT team and ask them to send a team to Henderson County to capture those three guys with us! "


    "clear!"


    The communicator hung up, and Mona and Michelle immediately followed Luan''s order and began to contact other law enforcement agencies.


    ?Henderson County is not too far from Clark County. If Clark County is a satellite city of Las Vegas, then Henderson County is...also a satellite city of Las Vegas.


    Unlike Clark County, which is home to migrant workers, the people living in Henderson County are mainly middle class. The crime rate is neither high nor low, and it is above the average level within the federal territory.


    But today a big news happened in this city. Two cars roared past the highway outside the county town, and even fired at each other while driving, which shocked many residents.


    ?After receiving reports from residents, the police in Henderson County quickly called patrol officers from all walks of life to surround the other party.


    Most of the residents in this land are middle class, and the Henderson County police''s annual salary level depends entirely on these people. When encountering criminals, they are naturally more dedicated than the Clark County police.


    By the time Luo An and the other three arrived at the county town, the local police had already forced the two cars to an abandoned mining company on the edge of the county town, not far from a certain road.


    ��Hello, my name is Roan Greenwood, head of the FBI��s Special Investigations Unit.��


    ��Just call me Duane, I��m the Sheriff of Henderson County.��


    ?Surrounded by the sirens of a bunch of police cars, Luo An got out of the car, shook hands with a pot-bellied white man in his forties wearing a county police uniform, briefly introduced their identities, and then asked:


    ��How is the situation at the scene?��


    Chief Du En��s expression was not very good. He pointed at five or six police cars not far away and said:


    ��That group was very powerful and two of our police officers were injured.


    ?In addition, there are some abandoned mines a few hundred meters behind this mining company.


    ?Those mines are older than my father. No one present can say for sure where they are connected and what exits there are. "


    After Chief Duen finished speaking, Winslow''s face suddenly darkened. Luo An was silent for a moment, borrowed a large speaker from the police officer next to him, and shouted a few words toward the factory building.


    No one answered, as if there was no one there.


    Soon, a heavily armed SWAT team finally arrived. Luo An and Winslow quickly put on their weapons and equipment, preparing to carry out operations with the SWAT team.


    Boom��


    ?At this moment, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the distance.


    Immediately afterwards, under the shocked eyes of everyone, a big hole appeared in the corner of the factory building. Under a chain reaction, the factory building, which had been abandoned for many years, collapsed bit by bit and turned into ruins!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 504： The battle in the mine

    Chapter 504 The battle in the mine tunnel


    ?Southern Las Vegas, Henderson County, an abandoned mining company.


    Boom��


    ?The factory building that has stood in this area for decades started from a destroyed hole in the corner and gradually collapsed in all directions like dominoes.


    Within a matter of tens of seconds, the towering factory building collapsed into a huge ruin, and the thick dust that was thrown up spread like smoke around.


    ?Roann, Winslow, SWAT team members and the Henderson County police who were standing not far away saw this scene and they all squatted or turned their backs to avoid the dust.


    ��Ahem����


    After the dust dispersed, the Henderson County police officers stood up. Chief Duen coughed a few times, looked at the ruins in the distance and guessed:


    ��Those three guys won��t be buried in the factory, right?��


    "maybe."


    Luo An, who had changed his equipment, casually replied that he thought this was unlikely. Seeing that Winslow had also changed his weapons and equipment, Luo An waved his hand and said loudly:


    ��Action!��


    As soon as the words fell, the nine SWAT team members next to them immediately raised their explosion-proof shields and quickly walked to the collapsed factory building with their weapons in hand. Luo An and Winslow followed quickly.


    ?The ruins caused by the collapse of the factory building were quite large, but a group of SWAT team members did not conduct a search operation in the ruins. Instead, under Luo An''s order, they went straight to the place where the explosion occurred.


    After arriving at the designated location, the SWAT team members began a simple search of the surrounding area. Luo An put away his weapons, walked to the ruins and lifted up a large piece of iron sheet, and found that there were many dark bricks inside.


    ��This is one of the pillar structures of the factory building.��


    Winslow stepped forward, took a look, and said in a deep voice:


    ��The factory has been abandoned for too long, and many of its structures are aging and would collapse as soon as they exploded.��


    ��It looks like Noble Pollard and Barton Pollard, the cousins, did it on purpose.��


    Luo An let go of his hand, and the big iron sheet fell back to the ruins with a bang. He turned his head and looked at the mine not far away, which was not far from here.


    ?Following Luo An��s gaze, Winslow also saw the mine not far away. He frowned slightly:


    ��You mean, those three guys ran into the mine?��


    ��The probability is very high.��


    Luo An walked down the ruins and nodded. The area was surrounded by multiple armed law enforcement officers. They were hiding in the factory and just waiting to be killed.


    As long as the factory building is blown up, they can use the cover of the thick dust just now to run into the mine not far away and wait for an opportunity to escape. Luo An briefly thought about it from his perspective. If it were him, he would do the same thing. choose.


    ?Leaving the ruins of the huge factory to Sheriff Duane and the Henderson County police officers to search, Luo An picked up the weapon again and headed to the mine not far away with the SWAT team members.


    ??When talking to Sheriff Dun just now, Luo An learned that these mines appeared earlier than the city of Las Vegas. Henderson County was originally a town derived from the mining industry.


    ?Due to economic cost and time issues, the entrances to these mines have not been sealed, and no one knows what is happening inside.


    For safety reasons, the nine SWAT members were divided into three teams of three each. Luo An and Winslow worked in pairs, back to back, turned on the flashlight next to the gun, and cautiously entered the mine.


    ?As we go deeper step by step, the mine becomes darker and darker, and the temperature slowly drops.


    ��Found fresh footprints!��


    Suddenly, the communicator on Luo An��s chest sounded, and SWAT Team No. 2 whispered:


    ��The number of footprints is two, and it is suspected that two enemies were found.��


    ��We��ll be there right away.��


    Hearing the news, Luo An and Winslow immediately turned around and headed to the mine tunnel where Team No. 2 was located.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    Suddenly, there was a burst of fierce gunfire from the mine where Team 2 was located, and it was also accompanied by the loud shouting of the SWAT team members:


    ��Enemy found! Enemy found!��


    ??The sudden noise attracted the attention of all the groups. Luo An and Winslow ran with guns in their hands with serious faces, and soon arrived at the location of Group 2.


    When the two arrived there, the gunfire had stopped, but it was not because the battle was over, but because the rifles in the hands of the three SWAT Team 2 people had been taken away and thrown away. The three of them were holding daggers at close range with the two enemies. fighting.����������������������������������������������������������


    The two enemies were none other than the Pollard brothers. They had fierce expressions and ferocious faces. They held daggers in their hands and moved very quickly. Each move hit the vital parts of the three SWAT team members. The two of them were actually holding down three of them. SWAT team members fight.


    Because the fighting movements of the five people were entangled, Winslow was afraid that the ammunition would accidentally injure his teammates. He did not choose to shoot immediately. Instead, he quickly rushed to help the SWAT team members, intending to separate the Pollard brothers and then attack with guns.


    boom! boom!


    Luo An didn''t talk nonsense. When he saw the scene of the three men fighting, he immediately raised his rifle, aimed at the Pollard brothers and pulled the trigger.


    Because the area illuminated by the light was too small and the five men were entangled in the fight, the two bullets did not hit the heads of the Pollard brothers, but only hit their shoulders.


    The moment they were shot, the two Pollard brothers groaned uncontrollably. At the same time, Winslow also ran to the center of the battle and kicked Noble Pollard down to the ground with a flying kick.


    �O


    The moment Noble Pollard fell to the ground, Barton Pollard suddenly took advantage of the chaos and grabbed the dagger of a SWAT team member, slashed Winslow''s neck, and at the same time, he accurately threw the dagger in his hand at the same person. Luo An''s head rushed to the scene.


    "careful!"


    boom!


    ����


    ?Seeing a cold light hitting his neck, Winslow''s hair stood on end. He quickly leaned back to avoid the deadly dagger, but was kicked in the calf by Barton Pollard and fell to the ground.


    ??Seeing the dagger flying towards his head, Luo An did not hesitate. While dodging sideways, he raised the rifle in his hand and knocked it away, nailing it to the wall next to the mine tunnel.


    When Roan turned around, Winslow fell down with two SWAT members, and the Pollard brothers fled the area in a flash.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    After reacting, Winslow cursed loudly, and Luo An quickly followed him in a flash, and at the same time said loudly:


    ��Watch the mark I left on the wall!��


    "clear!"


    Winslow and two SWAT team members quickly got up from the ground and responded loudly. When the SWAT team members picked up the weapons on the ground not far away, the other two SWAT team members also ran here from other mine tunnels, so all the team members immediately raised their weapons. He picked up his weapon and moved forward quickly, starting to follow Luo An''s pace.


    ?While tracking the Pollard brothers, Roan drew a big X on the wall of the mine tunnel as a mark for Winslow and the SWAT team members.


    ?Winslow and the SWAT team members followed the marks closely, and when they reached an intersection, they all stopped suddenly.


    Because the same big X appeared at the entrances of the three mine tunnels!


    The faces of all the SWAT team members became extremely ugly. Winslow''s face turned so dark that he could drip water. He quickly thought of something and cursed angrily:


    ��It��s the **** killer raised by that watch!��


    ����


    ?At the same time, on the other side, Luo An was speeding forward in the mine tunnel, chasing the Pollard brothers.


    Because the mine tunnels were rugged, it was impossible to be 100% sure of hitting the Pollard brothers. In order to save bullets, Luo An did not shoot and attack the two men while running.


    Turning an intersection, Luo An just drew a big X on the wall when a dark figure suddenly appeared from the side and rushed behind Luo An with a dagger.


    "go to hell!"


    ?Barton-Pollard''s voice was harsh and his face was ferocious. This was the moment he had been waiting for.


    ?The next second, under Barton Pollard''s astonished gaze, Roan seemed to know that he was going to make a sneak attack. He just turned sideways to avoid his dagger, and at the same time raised his rifle and pulled the trigger.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Three gunshots rang out, and Barton Pollard was hit by three bullets in his right arm. Luo An then flew up and kicked him in the stomach. A huge force came, and Barton Pollard''s pupils shrank. In an instant, It hit the wall of the mine tunnel uncontrollably, and then hit the ground hard, kicking up a cloud of dust.


    "you��"


    ?Barton-Pollard raised his head with his whole body trembling, staring at Luo An with red eyes.


    Luo An chuckled, and before he could speak, two cold lights suddenly appeared, striking from behind him from both sides!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 505： Luo An fights three, the body of the suspected killer man is revealed

    Chapter 505 Luo An fights three, the identity of the suspected killer man


    The moment two cold lights appeared behind Luo An, Barton Pollard, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and an imperceptible sneer appeared on his ferocious face.


    ??Although he didn��t know how Luo An discovered him just now, the two people behind him could definitely kill him in a sneak attack this time.


    Thinking of the scene of Luo An vomiting blood and dying in anger, coupled with the constant pain from being shot in his right arm, Barton Pollard was breathing heavily and became excited!


    The next second, the excitement in Barton-Pollard''s heart suddenly came to an end.


    Because Luo An seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, he suddenly moved forward to avoid the sneak attack of the two cold lights, then turned around, raised his weapon, aimed at the two sneak attacks, and pulled the trigger again.


    boom! boom! boom!


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Three shots on the left and three on the right. The three bullets fired from the rifle on the left accurately hit the two arms of the sneak attacker Noble Pollard.


    Of the three bullets fired from the right side, two missed, and only one hit the left arm of a middle-aged white man wearing a black coat and having a short haircut.


    The moment Noble-Pollard and the middle-aged man were shot, their eyes were full of shock. Not only did they not understand why Luo An reacted so quickly, but they also didn''t understand how Luo An discovered them.


    ??But now was not the time to ask questions. Noble-Pollard and the middle-aged white man looked at each other, raised the dagger again and stabbed Luo An.


    Luo An''s face turned gloomy and he raised his rifle again to prepare for a counterattack. Suddenly, Barton Pollard, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly rushed up from behind. While hugging Luo An tightly, he used crazy force to force Luo An into his hands with desperate force. The muzzle of the gun is raised upward.


    boom! boom! boom!


    All three shots missed and hit the top of the mine tunnel. Noble Pollard also rushed to Luo An''s side. Not only did he grab the rifle, but he also cut Luo An''s throat with a dagger with a cold light. The middle-aged white man held it in his hand. The dagger also stabbed Luo An in the lower abdomen.


    ?Barton Pollard, who was clinging to Luo An''s body, saw this scene and sneered again and again.


    Luo An''s mind was spinning quickly, he quickly released his grip on the rifle, tilted his head to avoid the dagger in Noble Pollard''s hand, and then turned around directly, using Barton Pollard behind him as a shield to block the enemy. On the path of the middle-aged white man''s dagger.


    ��


    ??The sound of a weapon being pierced into the body was heard. Barton Pollard''s face froze instantly, and the middle-aged white man''s dagger pierced his body.


    Barton Pollard raised his eyebrows angrily. Before he could finish his curse words, a familiar strong force came. Roan grabbed Barton Pollard''s arm and threw him directly, knocking Noble Pollard down. Germany, then Luo An swept with a whip kick, kicking the middle-aged white man back several steps.


    ��Mother-Fu-ker!


    Cochrane! You, the guy raised by your cousin, definitely did it on purpose! This is your revenge! "


    ??Barton Pollard, who was lying on the ground, stared at the middle-aged white man and cursed loudly. The middle-aged white man covered his stomach that was extremely painful after being kicked by Luo An, and showed an ugly smile:


    ��Don��t talk nonsense, it��s most important to deal with the common enemy first, isn��t it?��


    ??Barton-Pollard continued to curse, Noble-Pollard helped him get up from the ground, then aimed the rifle he had just snatched at Roan, and sneered:


    ��Any last words? Damn the FBI.��


    ��It��s not a big deal because the gun has no bullets.��


    ??Luo An grinned and shook the rifle magazine in his hand. Just now he noticed that the other party was about to grab the gun, so he stepped back and took back the rifle magazine.


    ����Fu-k!��


    When Noble Pollard saw this scene, his face suddenly darkened. He threw the rifle aside and cursed Roan.


    Beside him, Barton Pollard''s expression changed and he took out a pistol from his waist.


    ??This is the pistol he just stole from Luo An''s waist while Luo An was not paying attention.


    Looking down and taking a closer look, sure enough, there was no magazine.


    ������x3


    Seeing the expression on Barton Pollard''s face that was so dark that he wanted to bite himself to death, Luo An grinned and felt a little embarrassed:


    ��Because I was worried that the weapon would be taken away, I first removed the bullets from the pistol magazine and barrel.��


    "you this**%@#/��"


    Hearing this, the Pollard brothers cursed even louder. Luo An ignored them and turned to the middle-aged white man next to him and asked:


    ��Your name is Cochrane?��


    ��That��s his fake name.�� Before Cochran could answer, Barton-Pollard bent down and rummaged through his pockets and replied:


    ��He��s the guy who killed our teammate.��


    Luo An��s eyes moved and he asked:


    ��Why did you two brothers and that Francisco kidnap Coglin? Can you tell me?


    ?Also, Cochran, who are you? "


    ��You��ve seen too many movies, Mr. FBI.��


    ?Barton-Pollard sneered, took out two syringes from his pocket, and said:


    ��Do you think we will be like those mindless villains in the movies, who answer whatever you ask?��


    With that said, Barton-Pollard handed one of the two needles to Noble-Pollard next to him. Then the two of them removed the cap and fiercely inserted the needle into the muscle next to the bullet.


    Luo An was convinced before that there were no biochemical weapons or biochemical agents in this world. Then he thought of something and frowned:


    ��Adrenaline?��


    "you guess."


    The Pollard brothers replied with a sneer. After seeing the two men''s bodies shaking and their breathing gradually becoming more rapid after injecting the medicine, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief.


    He knew the reaction of the human body after using adrenaline. The reaction of the Pollard brothers was exactly the same. Luo An immediately threw away some of the thoughts in his mind and put down the big stone in his heart.


    ?After the injection of epinephrine, the veins in the Pollard brothers'' necks bulged, and the pain of being hit by bullets was much suppressed.


    ��Kill him!��


    ??The brothers glanced at Cochran next to them, roared, suddenly raised their daggers and rushed towards Luo An.


    ��Mr. Agent, I made more marks next to the marks you made before. Believe me, your teammates will not be able to save you in time!��


    ??The guy whose name is suspected to be Cochrane is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He first yelled a few words to suppress Luo An''s psychological defense, hoping to make Luo An vulnerable in the next battle, and then joined the battle with a dagger.


    But Luo An didn''t panic about this, because his "emotional perception" was always turned on in his mind. He just used it to detect the sneak attack of the three people, and now he also relies on it to feel the emotions of Winslow and others. They are not very far away from here. Far.


    Facing the three enemies who were charging forward with murderous intent, Luo An snorted coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. He reached out and took out the dagger from the pocket next to his thigh. Without retreating, he advanced forward and charged directly towards them!


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    For a moment, this small area was only dimly illuminated by the flashlight at the front of the rifle. The dim mine tunnel was filled with the metallic sound of daggers clashing and the muffled sound of flesh colliding.


    Because of adrenaline, the Pollard brothers traded injuries for injuries, their eyes were red, and they attacked Luo An frantically as if they were desperate.


    ����


    Unable to dodge, a cold light flashed through, and Luo An''s left arm was cut with a wound.


    Kicked Barton Pollard away, feeling the pain from the wound, and seeing the red blood flowing out of the wound, Luo An''s eyes became colder, but with a smile on his face, he picked up the dagger and rushed into the battlefield again!


    Angry Luo An''s heart was beating wildly, and his attack speed and power were even higher than before. The Pollard brothers and Cochran became more and more frightened as they fought, their pupils constricted, and their faces looked like they had seen ghosts.


    Because they discovered that after Luo An became familiar with the moves of the three of them, he actually started to beat the three of them by himself!


    The lips of the Pollard brothers were trembling, but they continued to attack Luo An despite the wounds on their bodies. Cochran was so anxious that he no longer wanted to fight Luo An. He tried to escape several times but was always pulled back by Luo An. battlefield!


    ��Luo An!��


    ��Here they are!��


    ?At this moment, Winslow and a group of SWAT members suddenly appeared not far away, and the Pollard brothers and Cochran were startled.


    Taking advantage of the moment when the three of them were distracted, a dazzling white light flashed from the dagger in their hands. Luo An''s figure flashed like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he cut off the hand tendons and hamstrings of the two Pollard brothers and kicked them down. On the ground.


    ??The frightened Cochran tried to run away, but Luo An kicked him **** the waist with a familiar whip kick. With the terrifying force, Cochran directly hit the wall uncontrollably.


    ??Luo An moved to his side and raised the dagger. Cochran, who was in so much pain that he couldn''t stand up straight, saw this scene and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He suddenly shouted loudly:


    ��I am the CIA! I know the identity of the robbers! I know the truth about the bank robbery!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 506： Three wanted men kidnap a bank robber

    Chapter 506 The reason why three wanted criminals kidnapped a bank robber


    In the dark mine tunnel, Cochran''s shouts were too urgent and broke like an ancient Eastern eunuch.


    ??Luo An paused when he heard the other party''s words. When he saw the cold tip of the dagger stopped in front of him, Cochran breathed a sigh of relief.


    ����


    "ah-"


    ?The next second, white light flashed and blood burst out. Cochran''s pupils shrank suddenly and he screamed because Luo An still used the dagger to break the tendons in his left wrist.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Cochran was in severe pain, and was very aware of the consequences of having his hand tendon severed. He stared at Luo An with red eyes and cursed:


    ��I told you, I��m cia! Why are you still...��


    ��Because I don��t believe what you say.��


    ??Roan picked up the dagger and wiped the blood on Cochran''s clothes, grinned, and showed what he thought was an amiable smile:


    ��Since you said that you know the identity of the robbers and the truth about the bank robbery, let��s make these things clear first.


    ??Also, how do you prove that you are the CIA? Why did the CIA intervene in this bank robbery? "


    ��*#%������


    Seeing the smile on Luo An''s face, Cochran took a breath.


    ?From Cochran��s perspective, the smile on Luo An��s face was extremely ferocious and scary.


    On the other hand, Cochran found that he could no longer lift his left hand, and the pain in his waist that had just been kicked by Luo An was extremely severe, and several bones were probably broken.


    ??Taking a few quick breaths and suppressing the intense pain radiating from various parts of his body, Cochran said in a hoarse voice:


    ��The names of the five bank robbers are Joseph, Carter, Maudlin, Ferdinand and Brooke����


    Cochrane stated that he came up with these names by asking the Pollard brothers.


    Previously, when the Pollard brothers and Francisco were drinking in a bar in Oregon, they heard a man boasting about buying a sports car after drinking.


    ?Others laughed in disbelief. The man was drunk and loudly boasted that he was rich now, but he refused to explain the reason why he suddenly became rich.


    At first, the three wanted criminals only thought it was a drunkard bragging shamelessly after drinking too much. They had seen this kind of thing many times.


    But the three of them happened to be short of money now. In order to make a difference, the three of them kidnapped the drunkard and extorted some money.


    ??But the three of them did not expect that the drunkard named Modlin was actually very rich, and was actually one of the robbers in the previous Los Angeles bank robbery.


    After extremely cruel torture, the three learned that the group of robbers had robbed more than 3 million US dollars in cash from the bank, as well as several checks totaling nearly 5 million US dollars in the metal cabinet. Six people had robbed nearly 8 million US dollars. .


    Successfully extorted nearly 110 million US dollars from Modlin, and asked the identities of the other five bank robbers. The three wanted criminals killed each other without hesitation, and then briefly discussed and formulated the following plan:


    ?Find five other bank robbers, fight against them, and steal all the money the robbers robbed from the bank into your own hands!


    The first person the three of them were looking for was Coghlin, because he was closest to Oregon.


    ??The person who shot at Lacey''s car before was indeed Cochran, with the purpose of hindering Lacey''s tracking operation.


    After successfully blocking Lacey, Cochran immediately drove the car, chasing the Pollard brothers and Francisco.


    ?Three cruel guys tortured Coghlin in the building and asked a lot of questions. When Cochran arrived there, he only heard about the millions of dollars, but not the identities of the other five robbers.


    ?Then the Pollard brothers and Francisco discovered Cochrane. Cochrane didn''t want to fight the three wanted criminals at first. He just wanted to ask a few questions.


    But the three wanted criminals seriously doubted Cochran''s identity and did not believe his words at all, so they were too lazy to talk nonsense and started taking action directly.


    Cochran fought back and killed Francisco. The Pollard brothers became even more angry and began to chase Cochran madly.


    ?Until he arrived in this small town, he was driven into an abandoned factory by the local police and surrounded by the FBI and SWAT team.


    Facing a common enemy, the Pollard brothers chose to stop fighting and prepared to temporarily join forces with Cochran to counterattack and escape the encirclement before talking about the rest. After blowing up the factory building and escaping to the mine under the cover of dust, Cochran finally asked the two Pollard brothers for the names, identities and other information of the five robbers.


    ��That��s the way it is����


    Because of the severe pain in his body, Cochran twitched and spoke slowly and slowly.


    As for the Pollard brothers next to them, adrenaline could only have a temporary effect. The two of them were picked off by Luo An and kicked to the ground, and they never got up again.


    Coupled with the **** holes made by the bullets and the wounds cut by Luo An''s dagger, the Pollard brothers were covered in blood, and their shirts were soaked with blood. They fell completely unconscious not long after lying on the ground. passed.


    As Cochran recounts, Winslow and the SWAT team arrived, all armed.


    Seeing the Pollard brothers lying on the ground unconscious and Cochran with a look of pain on his face, the SWAT team members were stunned.


    The situation at the scene was not difficult for the SWAT team members to judge. It was obvious that Luo An defeated three enemies one against three.


    The three SWAT members who had been suppressed and beaten by the Pollard brothers before looked at the Pollard brothers whose bodies were covered with wounds and blood, and saw the few knife wounds on Luo An''s body. Looking at each other, they could see the disbelief in the other person''s eyes.


    It is known that the Pollard brothers relied on sneak attacks to be equal to three SWAT members. Now that Luo An defeated the Pollard brothers and the killer who talked twitchingly with one against three, wouldn''t Luo An''s strength be equal to four? Five or even five or six SWAT team members?


    The style was not very rigorous. When the SWAT team members thought of this, their minds were suddenly filled with impossible thoughts. Luo An is so powerful. Which one of them or Luo An is in the office?


    Unlike the SWAT team members whose eyes were full of disbelief, admiration and admiration, Winslow breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Luo An was safe and sound.


    Winslow was also shocked by the surrounding scenes, but he quickly suppressed his excitement, walked quickly to Luo An, pointed his gun at Cochran, and asked with a serious face:


    ��Luo An, how are the wounds on your body?��


    "fine."


    ?Luo An smiled slightly. The wounds on his body did hurt a little, but they were not many or deep, and they were within a tolerable range.


    ��Pull those two guys out quickly.��


    ??Roan waved his hand, signaling Winslow and others to quickly take the Pollard brothers lying in a pool of blood out of the mine.


    ??If he remembered correctly, the brothers had committed many evil deeds and had many lives on their hands. In addition, they had been running away without being caught, so the two of them had several reward orders in the FBI''s internal database, and the reward amounts on them were quite large.


    ��OK.��


    ? Several SWAT members suppressed the shock in their hearts, took a deep look at Luo An, quickly put away their weapons, carried the Pollard brothers and began to walk out.


    "And I!"


    Seeing this scene, Cochran raised his hand and made a sound, indicating that he could still save him.


    ��You don��t have many wounds on your body, so don��t worry.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, and before Cochran could curse, he waved the dagger in his hand in front of the other person''s eyes and said:


    "You haven''t answered my question yet. How can you prove that you are the CIA? Why did the CIA intervene in this bank robbery?"


    ��I really am the CIA.��


    Cochrane was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head and said:


    ��Not many people can know the reason for this matter. I can only tell you alone.��


    Winslow frowned when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Luo An stopped him and stopped him. He stared at Cochran for a few seconds. Luo An agreed with Cochrane''s request with a smile and let Winslow leave for a while.


    ��I��m waiting for you not far away.��


    Winslow glanced at Cochran coldly, put away their weapons and walked away with several SWAT team members. When everyone left, Luoan spread his hands:


    ��OK, you can say it.��


    Cochran took a few deep breaths and began to briefly describe the reasons why he intervened in this case.


    ?Luo An listened for a moment, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger.


    Because except for the first sentence "I am the CIA" which is true, 60% of Cochran''s subsequent words are lies or half-truths!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 507： Cochrans true identity, the IR in the robbery case

    Chapter 507 Cochran��s true identity, the IRS who robbed the case


    ?In Cochran��s description, the metal cabinet at the First Republic Bank of California was a safe house where a certain CIA operation team stored passports, weapons, cash, etc.


    ?It doesn��t matter if cash and weapons were stolen, the key is those passports.


    Cochran said that the numbers on those passports were all real and recorded, and they only lacked the corresponding photos and personal information.


    As long as you put photos and personal information on the passport, and confirm this information through a website, these "fake passports" will have an 80% probability of being "real passports" that can pass the federal government and most countries'' customs!


    ? After learning that the First Republic Bank of California had been robbed, the superior officer of a CIA operation team was immediately extremely angry and immediately dispatched Cochrane, asking him to find out the identities of the six robbers and seize the blank passports from their hands.


    ??Cochran took a deep breath after saying this, and apologized to Luo An sincerely, saying that the reason why he attacked Lacey before was just because he was worried that she would hinder his actions, and it was a last resort.


    This matter was something he did wrong. Cochran was willing to bear the expenses of the female agent��s hospitalization and other expenses, and was also willing to make some compensation within his ability to express his apology.


    After Cochran finished speaking, Luo An had a very kind smile on his face. After thinking about it, he tilted his head and asked:


    ��There are multiple bank robberies in every federal state. Why would your CIA choose to store those things in the bank? Isn��t it obvious that they are waiting to be robbed?��


    ����


    Cochrane twitched the corner of his mouth and replied:


    ��If you store those things in some houses that have been unoccupied for a long time, the chance of being stolen and lost will only be higher.��


    Compared with the bank robberies that occur every month, thefts from unoccupied houses occur almost a dozen or even dozens every day.


    ?Not only is the probability of this kind of case happening, but the success rate of searching for the thief and recovering the items is astonishingly low.


    The CIA has no choice but to choose the lesser of the two powers.


    ����


    After hearing Cochran''s explanation, Luo An grinned. He could only say that it was indeed a federation with freedom, harmony and simple folk customs.


    ��So, can we go out?��


    Cochran had an ugly smile on his face, pointed to his waist, and said:


    "Your kick was so strong that I felt like my bones were broken."


    ��I want to go out too, but you are full of lies and don��t tell the truth, so it��s hard for me to handle it.��


    ??Luo An shook his head and sighed. Cochran''s face changed slightly. Before he could speak and explain, a cold light flashed through, and Luo An directly cut off the tendons of Cochran''s right hand with a dagger.


    ��Fu-kYou!��


    ?Feeling the pain in his right wrist, Cochran''s expression suddenly changed, and he immediately cursed loudly and questioned Luo An.


    Luo An, who had kept the "emotional perception" in his mind open from beginning to end, judged that the other party was lying, was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with the other party, and punched Cochran **** the head. The smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by With a cold expression on his face, he said sternly:


    ��Cochran, give you two choices: One, answer my questions seriously and tell the truth. Two, continue to lie and tell lies, and bet on whether I can hear it.


    Anyway, you still have two feet and two chances to try. "


    Cochran roared loudly:


    ��What I just said is the truth!��


    "very good!"


    Luo An grinned, raised the dagger and slashed towards Cochran''s left hamstring.


    When the dagger immediately struck Cochran��s left foot, Cochran��s face suddenly changed and he hurriedly shouted:


    ��No! No! No! What you just said was a lie! I��ll tell you the truth!��


    ??Luo An''s movements almost stopped, and he looked at Cochran expressionlessly.


    ?Not only is this guy full of lies, but during the fight just now, Cochran''s attack method was the most sinister and vicious.


    He asked the Pollard brothers to stand in front of him and withstand Luo An''s fiercest attacks for him. He would look for opportunities to sneak attack from behind, either using a dagger to attack Luo An''s throat, heart, lower abdomen and other fatal places, or using a penetration tool. Eyes, kicks in the crotch, and chokeholds are the quickest ways to kill an enemy.


    ??Cocoran is like a cold and poisonous snake, and every move reveals the fatal aura of killing Luo An. If Luo An hadn''t reacted quickly and powerfully, Luo An would be lying on the ground now.


    ??If Roan falls, there is a high probability that Winslow and the SWAT team members will not be able to match the three Pollard brothers and Cochran who are good at sneak attacks. Maybe today''s operation will be completely annihilated.


    ?Seeing Luo An staring at him expressionlessly, Cochran took a few deep breaths, remained silent for a long time, gritted his molars and said:


    ��I��m the CIA, I really didn��t lie to you.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he shook the dagger in his hand:


    ��Go on, your true name, your true purpose.��


    ��My name is Chad Evans.��


    ? Cochran gritted his teeth and said that he left the CIA privately because of some things.


    He told the truth about some of the previous things and did not deceive Luo An.


    ??The reason why he intervened in this bank robbery was indeed to find out the names of the other five bank robbers, find those five people, and get blank passports.


    ? Blank passports do exist, but they were not established by a CIA team, but were secretly set up by Cochran himself behind the CIA''s back.


    ?Since his escaping was discovered, all the remaining safe houses set up by Cochran have been monitored by the CIA.


    ? ? Want to leave the Federation, Cochran has no other option but one way: ? ? Find a way to find out the identity of the bank robbers, find the stolen blank passport, and **** it back.


    Through the "emotional perception" judgment in his mind, Luo An was sure that the other party was telling the truth this time.


    ��So, you are an agent who defected from the CIA.��


    Putting away the dagger, Luo An sneered:


    ��The kind with average skills.��


    Hearing this, Cochran snorted and almost vomited blood from his anger.


    ??He has been in the CIA for more than ten years, and his skills are very strong from every angle. It was only for the purpose of preserving his life that he let the Pollard brothers take over and he paddled behind to carry out sneak attacks.


    In the end, I didn��t expect to meet Luo An, a pervert who appeared out of nowhere. He pressed down on the three of them and beat them. By the time he realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, it was already too late, and Luo An knocked him down and defeated him.


    ?But now is not the time to talk about this. Cochran took a deep breath and whispered:


    ��I have an overseas account with $700,000 in it.


    Mr. FBI, if you let me go, the money will be yours. "


    Luo An��s eyes lit up when he heard this and he grinned:


    "you sure?"


    "certainly!"


    Seeing the smile on Luo An''s face, Cochran let out a sigh of relief, suppressed the pain and forced out a smile:


    "Don''t worry, Mr. FBI, this money will definitely..."


    ����


    �O


    ?Just in the middle of what Cochran said, a familiar white light flashed in front of his eyes, and then a familiar pain suddenly came from the ankles of both feet.


    ??The hamstrings of both feet were severed, and Cochran''s eyes suddenly widened. Before he could say anything, Luo An quickly stood up and kicked Cochran in the head, knocking him unconscious.


    ��A few people are here!��


    ??Looking at Cochran lying on the ground, Luo An showed no expression on his face and said loudly:


    ��Get this guy out of here!��


    "clear!"


    ?Hearing Luo An''s cry, several SWAT team members immediately carried the unconscious Cochran out of the mine. Winslow also took a simple bandage to help Luo An treat his wounds.


    "Thanks."


    ??Out of the mine, Luo An patted Winslow on the shoulder and thanked her, then took out his cell phone and called Mona.


    The second robber, the drunkard Modlin, and the gambler Coglin, have been killed by three wanted criminals.


    There are four remaining bank robbers out of the six, namely Joseph, Carter, Ferdinand and Brooke.


    ??Luo An described the information he had just learned from the interrogation and asked Mona to investigate the situation of these four guys.


    "no problem!"


    In the hospital far away, Mona nodded heavily and her fingers flew on the keyboard for a moment. She quickly found the information of the four guys and their current location according to the information provided by Luo An.


    ??Just as Luan was about to call Mona to take the next step, three white men in black suits suddenly walked past the Henderson County police and SWAT team and walked up to him.


    Hello, Roan Greenwood, head of the FBI''s Special Investigations Unit.


    ?Luo An reached out and shook hands with the other party, feeling a little confused:


    "You are?"


    The middle-aged white man headed by the leader chuckled:


    ��We��re from the IRS, and we��re here to take over the bank robbery case you��re currently handling.��


    ��What?!��


    Hearing this, Winslow suddenly walked out from behind Luo An with a look of displeasure on his face, his eyes widening.


    ??Waving his hand to suppress Winslow''s emotions, Luo An''s expression remained unchanged and asked:


    ��Can I ask the reason?��


    "certainly."


    The middle-aged white man headed by him smiled kindly:


    ��According to our investigation, this group of bank robbers robbed at least $5 million, but they did not turn over any taxes. This is a serious violation of federal law.��

 Chapter 508： The end of the case, the harvest

    Chapter 508: Ending of the case, harvest - Part 1


    ?Southern Las Vegas, Henderson County, at the entrance of an abandoned mining company.


    Hearing the words of the man from the IRS in front of them, Luo An and Winslow''s faces were filled with speechlessness.


    ??The IRS, the federal tax agency, looks very strange no matter from which angle you look at it.


    On the one hand, IRS people believe that their duty is only to "collect taxes" and that other incidents such as murder, kidnapping, trafficking, and bombings have nothing to do with them.


    On the other hand, the folk customs in the Federation are relatively simple after all. If one group of pro-independence groups and criminal groups is eliminated, another group will pop up, and it is impossible to defeat them all.


    ?In this case, instead of spending a lot of time and organizing teams to eradicate these illegal and criminal groups every time because these criminals have not paid taxes, it is better to create some "black property tax types" and let the other parties take the initiative to pay taxes to the IRS.


    The IRS also promised the other party that it would not inquire about the other party��s specific criminal violations, nor would it hand over evidence of these people��s criminal violations to other federal law enforcement agencies.


    In this case, the IRS and various illegal and criminal groups in the federal territory have successfully maintained this tacit understanding:


    ??The IRS can easily get the illegal tax revenue from the company, and the illegal criminal groups also make money to become bigger and stronger in the future. Everyone has a bright future.


    ?In bank robberies with an amount of less than $500,000 to $800,000, the IRS generally does not go to great lengths to investigate. Instead, it will wait for the robber to be caught and then seek tax collection from the other party.


    ??But if the amount exceeds 800,000 US dollars and the robber has not taken the initiative to pay taxes, the nature of the matter has changed. The IRS will definitely investigate, find out the identity of the other party, and seize federal taxes from the other party.


    IRS: I don��t care how you earn your money, but I must have a share in it!


    After a few seconds of silence, Luo An''s eyes flashed with light. He took out his mobile phone and waved it in front of the middle-aged white man from the IRS:


    ��Is it okay if I call my superior officer?��


    ��Please do it.��


    The middle-aged white man nodded with a smile. He knew Luo An''s identity and knew about the transfer of cases. Luo An would definitely ask for instructions from his superiors, so he waved his hand to signal Luo An to do whatever he wanted, and then he took the two people behind him. An IRS agent walked to the side and waited.


    "Thanks."


    ? Luo An chuckled and called the team leader Potente Byrne.


    ��Good evening, sir, it��s me, Luo An.��


    ��Good evening, what��s up?��


    ��I have led the special investigation team to solve the bank robbery.��


    ?Luo An briefly described the course of the bank robbery and the roles played by three wanted criminals and a defected CIA agent in the bank robbery.


    ��The case has been solved?!��


    After hearing Luo An''s previous narration, Potente Byrne''s face was full of surprise. He already had guesses about Luo An and the speed of action of the special investigation team, which were several levels higher than those of other investigation teams, but every time Luo An An will give him a big surprise.


    Thinking of this, Potente-Bourne felt jealous again. He really didn''t know why that woman Veranith was so lucky to meet such an outstanding talent as Roan before him.


    ? Hearing what Luo An said later that the IRS had appeared and was preparing to **** the case away, the shock and smile on Potente-Byrne''s face slowly disappeared. He suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, pondered for a while, and said:


    ��Luo An, promise the other party.��


    After speaking, Potente-Byrne was worried that Roan would have negative emotions because the case was taken away at a critical moment. He coughed lightly and comforted and reassured in a low voice:


    ��The IRS only cares about tax collection and will not take away the credit of your special investigation team.��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    ??Luo An nodded in agreement, indicating that he was complying with the commander''s order, then discussed a few words with Potente-Born about the follow-up work of the case, and then hung up the phone. In the distant office, Potente Byrne hung up the phone and pondered for a while. He first picked up the landline phone and briefly communicated with the IRS, and then called Director Nasim on his personal phone. He couldn''t hide the smile on his face. , said:


    ��Good evening, Director, I have good news...��


    ?At the same time, Roan hung up the phone. Instead of being angry, he felt a little happy that Potente-Byrne asked him to hand over the case to the IRS.


    ?The reason is very simple. Luo An was already in the mine just now and learned the identities of the four bank robbers who were still alive, as well as their addresses.


    ?These people''s addresses are not together. In order to hide their traces, the four people hid in four states.


    ?According to Luo An��s original plan, he would later need to contact the law enforcement departments of four states to organize a large-scale operation to arrest four people at the same time, in case someone found something wrong and escaped the siege or ran away in advance.


    ?This kind of work is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it��s easy to be owed a favor. Now that the IRS is willing to take over the case, Luo An is extremely happy.


    ?? As for whether the IRS operation would fail and the four robbers accidentally let the four robbers escape, Luo An was not worried and did not think this would happen.


    ??The IRS is the boss among the bosses of federal law enforcement agencies. With an order, almost no law enforcement agency dares to fish in the water without exerting its efforts.


    ? Putting away his cell phone, Luo An walked up to the middle-aged white IRS man, stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, and shook hands with him:


    ��Then this case will be **** you.��


    After a brief discussion with Luo An, he learned that Luo An had solved the case and had found out the identities of the six bank robbers, as well as the current addresses and identity information of the remaining four bank robbers. The white man from the IRS and the person behind him The two IRS agents were suddenly taken aback.


    The white man from the IRS naturally saw Luo An''s plan to use the IRS to arrest people, but he didn''t care too much. Arresting people across state lines is considered troublesome work in the eyes of some law enforcement agencies, but it is not considered a troublesome job in the eyes of the IRS. What.


    ??Moreover, Luo An has now found out the identities of these robbers, so the IRS does not need to continue their laborious investigation, which has saved the IRS a lot of work and time.


    A flash of admiration flashed in the IRS white man''s eyes. He stretched out his hand and shook Luo An''s hand, saying with admiration on his face:


    ��I have long heard that the special investigation team led by Captain Roan Greenwood is the best among the ten special investigation teams, and now it seems that it is indeed well-deserved.��


    "you flatter me."


    ??The smile on Luo An''s face became brighter, and he praised IRS a few words in return. The middle-aged white man laughed loudly, and the scene was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.


    ??The work of the special investigation team later was relatively simple. The SWAT team members escorted the unconscious Pollard brothers and former CIA agent Cochran to the hospital for treatment.


    Chenille, Mona and Michelle from the Special Investigation Team went to the hospital to guard the three people. Luo An and Winslow worked for most of the night and found a hotel to have a good night''s rest before going to the hospital to check on the three people the next day. Case.


    The Pollard brothers were still in a coma due to excessive blood loss. Cork had already woken up. When he saw Luo An, he wanted to curse, but he couldn''t speak because of the bandage on his mouth. He could only stare at Luo An with angry eyes.


    ??Luo An didn''t care about the other person''s eyes at all. After confirming that the other person was still alive, he walked out of the ward, took out his mobile phone and started making calls.


    The first call was made to the police in a certain city in Ohio. They were responsible for the case of the wanted criminals Pollard Brothers and Francisco, who murdered the bank robber Modlin.


    ? After learning that the FBI''s special investigation team had solved the case and caught the murderer, the police in a city in Ohio simply praised Luo An and hung up the phone.


    Luo An smiled and didn''t care about the slight dissatisfaction revealed in the other party''s words. After all, the other party had worked hard to investigate for many days and found nothing. It was normal to complain a little.


    ? Putting the Ohio incident behind him, Luo An then asked Mona to check the information Cochran had previously described, briefly investigate his situation, then took out his mobile phone and called the CIA.


    ��Hello, I��m Roan Greenwood, the head of the FBI��s Special Investigations Unit.��


    At the entrance of a deserted staircase in the hospital, Luo An looked at the scenery outside the window, the corner of his mouth raised slightly:


    ��We caught a guy yesterday who goes by the alias Cochran, but whose real name is Chad Evans, and he said he was one of your guys.��


    After Luo An finished speaking, the other end of the phone suddenly became extremely quiet.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 509： The end of the case, the harvest

    Chapter 509: Ending of the case, harvest - Part 2


    The name Roan Greenwood is not unfamiliar within the CIA. For example, before (Chapter 110-128), Mrs. Heloise was so angry that she vomited blood and was hospitalized. Later, she was blamed by other CIA people and she was so angry that she vomited blood again. He was pushed into the operating room, but he failed to win the resurrection match and was hung up with a black and white photo.


    ??The direct person who caused Mrs. Heloise to vomit blood and be hospitalized was Veranith, but the key person in handling the investigation of that case was Roan, so the name Roan-Greenwood naturally attracted the attention of a small number of people in the CIA.


    Later, Luo An''s performance got better and better. Even when the trainee agents of the same batch, such as Fisher (Chapter 2) and others, had just been promoted to senior agents at most, Luo An had been promoted to the leader of the Special Investigation Team. , the name Roan Greenwood naturally attracted the attention of more law enforcement agencies.


    ??Hearing Luo An mention Cochran''s name, the other end of the phone was quiet for a long time. After several people had a heated discussion, a man with a gentle voice finally answered the phone:


    ��Hello, Leader Greenwood, you can call me Corbin.��


    ��Hello, Mr. Corbin.��


    ??Luo An is not interested in the internal affairs of the CIA, nor does he want to know the reason why Cochran left the CIA privately. He only made this call for two purposes: to let the other party come to pick him up, and...


    ?? Before Luo An could finish what he said, Mr. Cobbin on the other end of the phone took the lead and said that they would fully bear the cost of Lacey''s hospitalization, the treatment of Luo An''s wounds, and other odds and ends.


    Luo An grinned. This was the first time he met someone so proactive.


    ��We��ll be there in three hours.��


    Kaobin on the other end of the phone briefly discussed a few words with Luo An, and finally smiled before hanging up the phone and said in a kind tone:


    ��Jawari Evans had talked to me about Qi before and he said he was unhappy with Mona��s boyfriend.��


    ����


    Hang up the phone, Luo An''s eyelids jumped. He didn''t expect that this matter actually had such a relationship.


    When he heard Cochran say his name was Chad Evans, which was the same as Mona, Luo An also doubted whether this guy was related to Javari Evans, so before going to bed last night, Luo An Let Mona look into the matter carefully.


    The results show that the two parties simply have the same surname and have no connection whatsoever.


    ?But I never expected that Cochrane��s commander was actually related to Mona��s father, Javari Evans.


    When Javari Evans was chatting with others, he revealed that he was dissatisfied with himself. Luo An didn''t care. In the process of getting along with Javari Evans before, he was used to the other person telling the truth. A way of expression that doesn��t mean what you say.


    Thinking of this, Luo An figured out the reason why Mr. Cobbin agreed to pay in advance: it must be that Javari Evans mentioned Luo An''s unwillingness to suffer losses when chatting with him.


    "snort."


    Roan curled up his lips and felt a little unhappy. He decided that the next time he met Javari Evans, the gift he gave would be replaced by vodka that the other party didn''t like.


    ? Turning around and walking towards the ward where Lacey was, Luo An planned to see how she was doing.


    ?Just after stepping out of the elevator, his phone suddenly rang. Luo An looked down and found that the person on the other end was Potente Byrne, the team leader.


    ?Slightly confused, Luo An still pressed the answer button:


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    "good morning."


    ??The voice on the other end of the phone was not Potente Byrne, but Director Nasim. The other party on the phone laughed heartily:


    ��Luo An, I didn��t expect you to figure out this bank robbery so quickly! Well done!��


    ??In the director''s office, Director Nasim was sitting on a chair with a smile on his face.


    ?Not long after the previous [Poison Gas Case], Luo An solved this [Bank Robbery Case] ??in less than a week.


    While shocked, Director Nasim was very excited. The reason why he called Luo An was that he was going to hold a press conference when Luo An captured the bank robbers to show the public the FBI''s Los Angeles operations. The speed and ability of the branch to solve crimes.


    A political achievement is useful only if it is known to others.


    I learned from Potente Byrne that Luo An didn''t like press conferences very much, so Director Nasim gave up before hanging up the phone and said in a kind tone that he would wait until Luo An handles the case. , returned to Los Angeles with confidence, and he prepared a small surprise for Luo An.


    ��Okay, thank you, Director.��


    ?? Luo An nodded in agreement, hung up the phone, his eyes moved slightly, and he began to guess what surprise Director Nasim was talking about.


    Given the other party''s status, the surprise cannot be too simple or crude.


    ?While thinking, he pushed open the door of Lacey��s ward:


    ��How is your health? Lacey����


    Halfway through the words, Luo An stopped because the bed in the room was empty and Lacey was not seen at all.


    ��Sorry, I��m in the bathroom!��


    A voice came from the bathroom of the ward. A few seconds later, Lacey slowly moved out of the bathroom on crutches, followed by a young female nurse who carefully supported her. The two women''s faces were flushed and their breathing was slightly short.


    Luo An: ������


    ??The female nurse gently helped Lacey onto the hospital bed, covered Lacey with a quilt, nodded to Luo An and walked out of the ward. Seeing Luo An looking at her expressionlessly, Lacey coughed lightly:


    ��Don��t get me wrong, I was just inconvenient, so I asked a nurse to help.��


    ??Remembering the slightly messy clothes of the female nurse just now, Luo An rolled his eyes speechlessly.


    Not bothering to pay attention to the broken things on Lacey''s **** and ring finger, Luo An turned around and left the ward after making sure that Lacey''s wounds were okay and she was recovering well.


    "Oh, right."


    ?Less than five seconds after the door closed, and just as Lacey let out a deep breath, Luo An suddenly opened the door again and stepped in half sideways, saying:


    ��There were some unnecessary expenses on the bill when you were tracking the suspect in Las Vegas, and the money was deducted from your salary this month.��


    Lacie��s eyes suddenly widened: ��What?!��


    ����


    Less than three hours, CIA personnel arrived at the hospital.


    In the shocking gaze of the special investigation team, the group directly pushed the Coveland Lian people to push a ambulance, and then pulled him away.


    ����


    ? Winslow, Chenelle, Mona and Michelle looked at each other with different expressions. Roan reached out and shook hands with a white man in a suit, with blond hair, who looked to be in his fifties, and said with a smile:


    ��Mr. Corbin?��


    ��I��ve wanted to get to know Team Leader Greenwood for a long time, but I never had the chance.��


    Kaobin took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Luo An, and asked with a smile:


    ��I wonder if Cochran said anything bad when you were arresting him?��


    Luo An took the envelope, narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the paper note inside, and replied with a smile:


    ��He only told me that he had an overseas account with a lot of money in it, and he wanted to use the money in exchange for me to let him leave.��


    ��Apart from this?��


    "Gone."


    Mr. Corbin smiled and nodded, then whispered into Luo An��s ear:


    ��The account number and password for that account are in the envelope. I believe the Special Investigation Team will forget about it, right?��


    "certainly."


    A flash of light flashed in Luo An''s eyes, he put the envelope into his arms, and the smile on his face was very sunny:


    ��I can��t remember that person��s name anymore.��


    Kao Bin raised his eyebrows when he heard this and patted Luo An on the shoulder:


    ��If we have a chance to go drinking together, I��ll treat you.��


    ��OK.��


    The two briefly exchanged greetings. Mr. Cobbin and several men in suits turned and left. Upon seeing this, Winslow and others immediately walked to Luo An. Mona frowned:


    ��Luo An, these people...��


    ��Just pretend this never happened.��


    ??Luo An shook his head, turned around and walked into the room and took out an envelope. In addition to a check for 200,000 US dollars, there were two strings of numbers written on the back of the envelope. Mona briefly checked and found that there were 900,000 US dollars in the account.


    ?Luo An asked Mona to distribute the $900,000 according to the previous proportions, of which Luo An took $240,000 and the remaining five people each received $120,000.


    There were too many dirty things in the CIA, and Luo An was not interested in getting to the bottom of everything. Winslow, Chenelle, Mona and Michelle briefly discussed this matter for a while, and Luo An then focused on the rest. Four bank robbers.


    After all, the case is not over until the person is caught.


    ??The afternoon before the Los Angeles Mayor''s Banquet, the four bank robbers, Joseph, Carter, Ferdinand, and Brooke, who had been stripped of their skins, finally walked out of the IRS building with bitter faces after a lot of hard work.


    Not far away, the four of them saw a SWAT personnel carrier.


    ?Beside the troop carrier, there were still standing Luo An, Winslow and Chenelle with amiable smiles and waving to them.


    Four robbers: ������


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 510： Analysis by Roan, California Medal of Courage

    Chapter 510 Roan��s Analysis, California Medal of Courage


    ?In a fast-moving personnel carrier, the four robbers, whose hands were tightly tied together with silver bracelets, looked angry and stared at Luo An and the three of them and cursed.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ��Fu-kyou!��


    Among the four robbers, Joseph, Carter, Ferdinand, and Brooke, Joseph is the main planner and leader of the bank robbery. Now that he is caught, he is the most criticized:


    "Damn IRS! They violated the agreement! And you **** FBI..."


    ��Hey, stop scolding.��


    Winslow and Chenelle, who were sitting next to them, were too lazy to pay attention to them. Roan yawned, thought for a while, and said with a smile:


    ��Honestly, you should be thanking us.��


    ��What?��


    "What did you say?"


    Hearing this, Winslow and Chenier subconsciously looked at Luo An in confusion. The four robbers were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes were full of anger and became even more angry:


    ��Let me analyze it for you.��


    ?? Before Joseph, Carter, Ferdinand, and Brooke could even curse more fiercely, Luo An began to explain simply.


    First of all, their FBI special investigation team found the traces of the four robbers before the IRS and was ready to arrest them.


    ? It��s just that the IRS has a higher priority, so the four robbers were arrested by the IRS before the FBI took action.


    The goal of the IRS is only to collect taxes. As long as they get the tax they want, the IRS will let them go, so the four robbers can use the money they robbed from the bank to hand over the tax.


    ??If the FBI takes the first step to arrest the four people, the money the four robbers stole from the bank will be confiscated by the FBI.


    The IRS will not change the tax collection from the four robbers, but at this time the money they robbed from the bank has been confiscated by the FBI. The four robbers themselves did not have so much savings, so they could only owe a large sum to the IRS. tax debt.


    ??This money cannot be turned over to the IRS within the specified time, and it will also accrue tax interest. The longer the time, the higher the interest.


    ��You are simply arrested by the FBI now, instead of being arrested by the FBI and then owing the IRS a sum of unpaid taxes. While you are in jail, the interest keeps rising.��


    After explaining, Luo An��s face was filled with a sunny smile:


    ��So, should you thank us?��


    ������xN


    As soon as the words fell, the air inside the troop carrier became extremely quiet.


    Winslow and Chenelle''s faces were full of speechlessness. Joseph and the others had their mouths open but could not speak. They didn''t know what to say. Several SWAT agents next to them looked at each other and nodded, and then imitated Arrived new knowledge.


    ����


    ?At seven thirty in the evening, a large conference room in the FBI Los Angeles branch building.


    ??Lacie is still hospitalized, and other detectives from the Special Investigation Team, such as Mona, Michelle and others, are upstairs handling the follow-up work of the [Gas Case] ??and [Bank Robbery Case].


    Roan, as the leader of the Special Investigation Team and the main investigator of the [bank robbery case], was once again pulled by Director Nasim and team leader Potente Byrne to participate in this press conference.


    "This is an exciting time. Under my leadership, our FBI Los Angeles Division has successfully..."


    Perhaps it was because the time between the two cases being solved was very short, or perhaps because Luo An��s performance greatly increased his face. In short, Director Nasim was very excited.


    ? He ??was smiling so hard that his molars almost broke out. He spoke on stage for more than an hour. The reporters below who couldn''t get a word in were twitching at the corners of their mouths. The smile on Luo An''s face became stiffer and he could not sit still.


    Roan calmly tilted his head and looked at the team leader beside him. A flash of surprise suddenly flashed in Luo An''s eyes, because the smile on Potente Byrne''s face did not change at all, and even his sitting posture did not change at all.


    ?Luo An felt a flash of admiration in his heart, and he could only say that he was indeed a man worthy of being the team leader.


    ����Thank you, that��s all for now.��


    ?Another ten minutes passed, and Director Nasim finally finished his opening remarks.


    ? Luo An was slightly relieved. When he was about to move his buttocks and change his posture, Director Nasim suddenly waved his hand, and a female FBI agent who had been waiting outside the door for a long time walked into the conference room carrying a wooden tray.


    Seeing the wooden plate held by the female agent, Luo An was slightly stunned. Potente-Bourne raised the corner of his mouth slightly, patted Luo An''s shoulder lightly, and whispered: "The director promised your surprise, stand up quickly." stand up."


    ??Luo An stood up quickly. Director Nasim nodded with satisfaction. He picked up a red, yellow and blue medal from the wooden plate and introduced it loudly:


    "Please allow me, on behalf of the California State Government, the Los Angeles City Government, and the FBI Los Angeles Division, to award this "California Medal of Courage" to the Special Investigation Team who fought bravely for the citizens of Los Angeles, were loyal to their duties, risked their own lives, and continuously solved major cases. Chief, Roan Greenwood!"


    The states of the federation have great autonomy in economic, political and other aspects. They have the right to establish their own law enforcement departments. Therefore, each state also has the power to design and issue various types of medals that are unique to their own states. The California Medal of Courage is one of them.


    In the huge state of California, there are not many people who have received this medal. The value of spiritual inspiration is very precious.


    ��Thank you, Director.��


    Luo An really didn��t guess this before. Director Nasim put a medal on him, patted Luo An on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and then the two of them made smiles to the reporters, posing for the flash.


    ��Leader Greenwood, please say a few words.��


    "certainly."


    Luo An nodded and showed a humble smile to the reporters.


    ??It wasn''t that Luo An wanted to be too modest on purpose, but the flashlights of these reporters were so enthusiastic that he really couldn''t open his eyes.


    ??Team Director Potente Byrne and Director Nasim hid the news very closely. Luo An really didn��t think about the medal before, so he didn��t prepare any speeches.


    ??However, this kind of thing did not trouble Luo An. He smiled and nodded, and pressed his hands to let him say a few words before taking pictures. He thought for a few seconds. When the enthusiastic flash stopped, Luo An coughed lightly and said:


    ��First of all, I feel worthy of this honor and this medal...��


    ?The content is not complicated. Luo An directly changed the speech he gave when he won two FBI medals and moved it here.


    After Roan finished his brief introduction, team leader Potente Byrne stood up:


    "I declare that the awarding ceremony is over. Next, we will enter the question and answer session for reporters."


    Papa pa pa��


    There was a burst of applause, and the press conference continued for more than 40 minutes before it ended.


    In the corridor, Director Nasim walked up to Luo An, helped Luo An simply arrange his clothes and the medal around his neck, nodded and praised Luo An with a smile, and took the lead to leave the place.


    ��I didn��t expect that the Special Investigation Team would investigate the bank robbery case so quickly.��


    ?Potente Byrne, the team leader, reached out and touched the medal on Luo An��s chest, and said with a smile:


    ��Originally, I wanted to apply for the FBI Medal from the headquarters for you, but you have already received two medals before. There is a high chance that this application will not be approved, so the director applied for this California Medal of Courage for you.��


    ��Thank you, sir, I like this medal very much.��


    ? Luo An grinned, this was what he meant.


    The two previous FBI medals each had an accompanying bonus of $40,000. Luo An received a total of $80,000, and the California government''s "Medal of Courage" had an accompanying bonus of $50,000.


    ?The two walked into the team leader''s office. Potente-Byrne picked up a folder on the desk and handed it to Luo An, smiling:


    ��This is a reward for a wanted criminal and a thank you payment from First Republic Bank of California.��


    ? Francisco, one of the most wanted criminals, died at the hands of CIA Cochran, who left privately, so there is no reward for him in the folder.


    ? ? Opening the folder and checking briefly, Luo An found that the reward for each of the Pollard brothers was as high as 340,000 US dollars, which added up to 680,000 US dollars.


    ?The bank paid the Special Investigation Team $800,000 as a thank you, which was part of the money that the group of bank robbers took but was recovered by the FBI and IRS.


    ?The robbers: ������

    Chapter 511 Money and System Harvest, Mona killed 300 enemies and suffered 1000 self-losses


    Special Investigation Team, office area.


    ?Hold the folder and push open the door to the office area. Winslow, Chenelle, Mona and Michelle were not working. They were all looking up at the TV at the front of the office area.


    What was playing on the TV was the scene where Director Nasim awarded the medal to Luo An.


    ��Wow, look who��s back?��


    ??Seeing Luo An open the door and return, Mona ran to him with excitement on her face and said with a smile:


    ��Congratulations, you have won another medal.��


    ?Winslow, Chenelle and Michelle all turned around and applauded Roan with smiles on their faces, but Winslow had a question:


    ��What does ��again�� mean?��


    Michelle explained while applauding:


    ��Luo An has also won two FBI medals before.��


    ��What?��


    ?Winslow''s eyes widened in surprise. This was the first time he knew about this.


    ��Thank you, I cannot obtain this medal without your help.��


    ??Luo An grinned and gave the medal to Mona, who was full of curiosity and asked her to look at it. Then he shook the folder in his hand and said loudly:


    ��So, it��s time for the bonuses!��


    When Michelle, Winslow and Chenelle heard this, their eyes instantly became extremely bright.


    ??But Luo An was speechless, Lacey was not in the hospital, and he was really a little uncomfortable without her shouting excitedly next to him.


    ?The bank thank-you money totaled 800,000 U.S. dollars, Luo Anna received 240,000 U.S. dollars, and Mona and other five agents each received 110,000 U.S. dollars.


    Of the $680,000 bounty offered by the Pollard brothers, Luo An received $380,000, and Winslow and the other five agents each received $60,000.


    Coupled with the funds previously obtained from the CIA, the case was closed. Michelle, Mona, Winslow, Chenelle, and Lacey each received US$300,000, and Roan received US$860,000. .


    Coupled with the $50,000 accompanying bonus from the California Medal of Courage, Luo An received a total of $910,000.


    After the harvest was distributed, everyone in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team was very happy. They originally wanted to have a dinner together, but Lacey was injured and hospitalized, so Luo An chose to postpone the dinner until Lacey was discharged from the hospital.


    After a while, Luo An announced that he was off work and would have a day off tomorrow. Several agents drove back to their homes.


    ??Mona drove, and Luo An sat in the passenger seat. After a busy day, he looked at the scenery receding outside the car window and yawned widely.


    The car was very quiet, and just when Luo An was about to fall asleep, Mona suddenly asked:


    ��Luo An, I remember you are going to attend a banquet hosted by the mayor of Los Angeles tomorrow, right?��


    ��That��s right~��


    Luo An cheered up, stretched himself out, and replied boredly:


    ��It��s the birthday party of the mayor of Los Angeles. By the way, I haven��t bought a gift yet����


    The investigation experience these days has been too intense. [Stamina Potion] and [Hemostatic Potion] can smooth over Luo An''s physical fatigue and pain, but the mental fatigue cannot be solved. Luo An just wants to Lie on the big bed and have a good sleep.


    ??Mona drove around an intersection, glanced at Luo An calmly, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said:


    ��I checked out the daughter of the mayor of Los Angeles before. She is indeed very beautiful and very photogenic. No wonder she always wanted to work in Hollywood.��


    "Um��"


    ?Luo An yawned again, his eyes almost unable to open.


    A few minutes later, the two returned to the villa. Luo An tore up a bag of instant bread for dinner, took a quick shower, and climbed into the big bed in a guest room on the second floor.


    ?Just when I was about to fall asleep, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside.


    ??The alertness developed over a long period of time made Luo An subconsciously open his eyes and look up at the door.


    ??Then Luo An saw Mona walking into the room wearing her own white shirt on her upper body and two bare legs on her lower body, biting her lips, and locked the door behind her back.


    ����


    Luo An''s eyelids twitched, he forced himself to calm down and stood up, leaning against the head of the bed, covering his body with a quilt:


    ��Mona, I��m a little tired today, and I��m very sleepy now.��


    "I know."


    ??Mona nodded, walked barefoot to Luo An''s bed, turned over and sat on the quilt, reached out and touched Luo An''s face, her tone was unusually gentle:


    ��So you have a rest today and don��t move.��


    Luo An: ������


    The next day, when Luo An walked into the bathroom to wash up, he finally discovered the flaw in the [Stamina Potion].


    ?This potion can indeed make people feel energetic and energetic from a weak state in an instant.


    But some things are gone when they are gone. They cannot create something out of nothing. They can only wait for the laws of nature and let the human body slowly form.


    Pressing the button to take a shower, Luo An closed his eyes tightly and opened the system page in his mind.


    ?The system evaluated Luo An��s recent handling of two cases as [Excellent] this time, and he accumulated 10 treasure chests at one time.


    Familiar rough cutscene, 10 treasure chests each contain two bottles of [Pain Relief Potion], one [Danger Sense Potion], two bottles of [Strength Potion], two bottles of [Swiftness Potion], and three bottles of [Stamina Potion]


    At this time, in the system warehouse page, there is [Stamina Potion x6]


    ��Hemostatic Agent x5��


    ��Antidote x5��


    ��Swift Potion x4��


    ��Strength Potion x3��


    ��Sensitive agent x1��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x7��


    ��Featherfall Potion x3��


    ��Sleep Potion x1��


    ��Scuba Potion x1��


    ��Danger Sense Potion x1��


    Finally prescribed the [Danger Sense Potion] that he had been longing for. It was a very happy thing, but there was no smile on Luo An''s face.


    Looking at Mona, who was lying on the big bed not far away and fell into a deep sleep due to being too tired. Her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled due to pain in her sleep, and her thighs were shaking from time to time. Luo An raised his hands and covered his face speechlessly.


    After washing up, take out the [Danger Sensing Potion] and drink it in one gulp.


    ? ? Based on observing the system for such a long time, Luo An found that the effectiveness of the various potions it produced was somewhat similar to some online games in the East.


    If it takes 10 points to upgrade from level one to level two, then 20 points are needed to upgrade from level two to level three, and so on. The higher the level, the more points it takes to upgrade.


    The ability of "emotional perception" has been developed by Luo An in three ways.


    The first usage is a passive skill. At some critical moments, Luo An can sense the danger that is detrimental to him.


    The second usage is that other people will have different emotional fluctuations when they speak. Luo An uses this to judge the truth and falsehood of other people''s words, and to judge the different likes and dislikes of others towards him.


    The third usage is more special. When others look at different items, they will have different emotional fluctuations. Luo An can compare the differences in these fluctuations to determine what the other person is looking at. This is what Luo An mainly uses when gambling. ability.


    Closing his eyes and feeling carefully for a moment, Luo An felt that his "emotional perception" seemed to have changed a little, but the fluctuation was not big, and it seemed not at all, giving people a feeling of "change".


    ?However, Luo An soon discovered the direction of change, that is, the detection range of "emotional perception" expanded outward by about 3 meters.


    ??The original detection distance of "emotion perception" has always been about 10 meters, but this time it was directly increased by one-third. Luo An''s eyes suddenly lit up.


    After changing his clothes, Luo An walked to the bed, bent down in front of Mona, and whispered:


    ��Mona, Mona?��


    ��*#%����


    After muttering a few words that Luo An couldn''t understand, Mona turned over and continued to sleep without opening her eyes.


    ??Luo An was a little speechless. It was not difficult to guess what Mona was thinking. She was worried that Luo An would go out to find other girls, so she wanted to give Luo An a hard beating to show him that other girls were powerless.


    ??But Mona overestimated herself and underestimated Luo An, and in the end she accidentally killed three hundred enemies and lost a thousand to herself.


    Luo An picked up Mona and took her back to the master bedroom, then returned to his room to change into a new set of sheets and quilts, threw the old ones into the washing machine, then went downstairs to make a simple breakfast, and after the meal, drove out of the villa to go shopping. Dinner gift.


    ??When Luo An returned to the villa, it was already three o''clock in the afternoon. Mona had woken up and was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.


    She turned red when she saw Luo An, but she didn''t say anything. She lowered her head and continued to fork at the cold eggs.


    ??Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly and put the gift aside. As soon as he sat down next to Mona, the doorbell suddenly rang at the door of the villa.

 Chapter 512： Home Owners Association’s Front and Back Attitudes

    Chapter 512: The forward and backward attitudes of the homeowners association


    Los Angeles, the villa where Mona and Roan live.


    Hearing someone ringing the doorbell at the door outside the villa, Mona turned to look at Luo An with confusion on her face:


    ��Looking for you?��


    ��You are the owner of this villa, maybe I am looking for you.��


    Standing up from the chair, Luo An bent down and kissed Mona''s forehead, then turned and walked out of the villa.


    ?At the gate at the end of the lawn outside the villa, stood a middle-aged white man wearing a black suit, slicked back hair, a long face, and a smile.


    ?Luo An thought for a moment and remembered the other party''s situation.


    ?The other party��s surname is Darren Bent, one of the residents of this villa area and one of the managers of the homeowners association.


    From the perspective of responsibilities, the owners'' association is somewhat similar to the property management companies in the East, that is, it collects management fees from the owners and carries out activities such as management, maintenance and repair of public places in the community.


    The difference is that federal homeowners associations are autonomous institutions, and many regulations and decisions are voted on by all homeowners in the community, with the minority obeying the majority.


    ??For example, the amount of annual maintenance fees, what kind of safety insurance to buy for the community, which security personnel to hire, and rigid rules such as keeping the appearance of the house clean and prohibiting making noise. If violated, some owners can even be forced to leave the community.


    ??When Luo An and Mona first moved into this villa, the owners association sent someone to meet with them and conduct a brief investigation on their career and financial status.


    This villa is in the name of Mona. Mona is a senior FBI agent. Her father bought the house for her. Luo An is the leader of the FBI Special Investigation Team and lives with Mona as her boyfriend. The annual income level is average.


    After learning this information, the people from the homeowners association did not say anything sarcastic, but their attitude was very general.


    When the villa is being renovated, the owners'' association will send people to collect community management fees. During the renovation days, people will be watching every day, demanding that the community be kept clean and tidy to ensure that other owners enjoy a harmonious life and a good environment.


    ?Luo An and Mona were busy handling a case at the time and were not in the mood to deal with the homeowners association, so they left all those matters to the decoration company and asked them to communicate with each other.


    ??When they lived in this community later, Luo An and Mona rarely communicated with the people in the homeowners association. They usually called them when they encountered problems and asked them to send someone to solve them. Usually, they didn''t bother to talk to them.


    ??Seeing that Darren Bent, one of the leaders of the homeowners association, came to the door today, Luo An was a little confused, but he still walked to the door with a fake smile, stretched out his hand and shook Duofang:


    ��Hello, what��s the matter?��


    "Hello."


    ?Darren Bent had a very kind smile on his face.


    ? ? When meeting Darren Bent in the past, Luo An used his "emotional perception" to find that the other person''s smile was the same as his own, and he didn''t like the other person''s polite fake smile.


    But today Darren Bent is very different from before. His smile is no longer a fake smile, and his attitude is also very sincere.


    Mr. Darren Bent handed Luan two pieces of paper and said:


    ��At eight o��clock this evening, the homeowners association will vote on installing cameras in some public areas of the community and hiring more security personnel to strengthen the security level. I hope you two can attend on time tonight.��


    Luo An took the paper handed over by the other party, looked at it briefly, and found that the notice was issued three days ago, but the other party just informed him and Mona today.


    Darren Bent smiled and apologized, saying that the employees of the homeowners association were too busy and accidentally forgot about it.


    "What''s wrong?"


    ?At this moment, Mona changed her clothes and walked out of the villa. Luo An smiled, handed the paper to her, and replied:


    ��Something to be voted on.��


    Then Luo An smiled and said to Darren Bent:


    ��I have other things to do tonight, so I won��t go.��


    ??Mona replied immediately:


    ��I won��t go at night either.��


    The smile on Darren Bent��s face did not change and he asked:


    ��Can I ask the reason? Is it work?��


    Luo An replied casually:


    ��She��s not feeling well, and I��m going to the Los Angeles mayor��s dinner.��


    Hearing this, a flash of astonishment flashed in Darren Bent''s eyes, and then the smile on his face became more kind. Seeing this scene, Luo An''s brain turned and he immediately understood the reason for the change in the other party''s attitude.


    With a funny emotion flashing through his heart, Luo An briefly exchanged greetings with the other party for a moment, then sent him away and returned to the villa with Mona in his arms.


    "what happened?"


    ??Mona slapped the hand on her waist, rolled her eyes at Luo An, and then asked with some confusion:


    ��Why did Darren Bent come to us today?��


    Luo An replied casually:


    ��Maybe you saw Director Nasim��s press conference on TV.��


    There are only a small number of very wealthy people living in this community, and most of them are middle class or slightly upper class people.


    It is only because of the booming situation in federal real estate and stocks in recent years that these people moved into this villa area. A prominent feature of a section of the middle class in the Federation is that they look down on people with lower status than them, and want to establish relationships with people with higher status than them.


    ??Luo An and Mona��s apparent salary income is indeed average, and can only be regarded as the lower reaches of the middle class.


    But yesterday, the press conference where Luo An received the "California Medal of Courage" was reported by all major media and made a fuss. It was probably seen by some people in this community, so Darren Bent personally came to the meeting just now. The matter of door-to-door invitations.


    After hearing Luo An��s explanation, Mona sneered, with a flash of disdain in her eyes.


    It is so common that after becoming rich and famous, everyone around you becomes a good person. Luo An didn''t have much thought. He walked back to the villa with Mona. When the door was closed, he suddenly stopped and hugged Mona. In arms.


    ��Luo An!��


    ??Mona subconsciously put her arms around Luo An''s neck. After reacting, her face was full of horror and she shouted loudly:


    ��No! I��m not feeling well! I haven��t recovered yet!��


    ��What are you thinking about?��


    ??Luo An rolled his eyes, bit Mona''s lips lightly, carried her to the sofa, held her in his arms, and asked:


    ��Why didn��t you wear slippers when I came back just now?��


    ?Luo An and Mona have lived together for such a long time, and they both know a lot about each other''s living habits, and they have gotten along with each other a lot.


    For Luo An, many of Mona��s little habits are fine with him, but there is only one thing that bothers him:


    I don��t wear slippers at home and like to walk around with bare feet.


    This is the habit of most people in the Federation. It can only be said to be a social custom that is passed down from generation to generation.


    ??Mona is sometimes prone to diarrhea. Luo An guessed that this is most likely related to her habit of walking barefoot on the ground since she was a child.


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Mona blinked her big eyes and slowly looked away:


    "I forgot."


    ???? Before Luo An could speak, Mona suddenly turned back to look at him, her eyebrows raised:


    ��When I went to the kitchen just now, why didn��t you wash the dishes after breakfast?��


    The question of who washes the dishes after meals has also been a topic that Mona and Luo An have argued about since they started living together.


    ?Luo An was stunned for a moment, then grinned:


    "I forgot."


    The two looked at each other quietly for a few seconds, then they both laughed and changed the topic to other places.


    ��About what time will you be back tonight?��


    ��I don��t know, it depends on the situation. What are your plans?��


    ��I��m going to drive to the hospital to see Lacey later. I just called her and heard that she was accidentally injured again.��


    ��What��s going on? Where are you injured?��


    ��She did not elaborate on the cause of the injury, but the condition was not serious. A nurse was present at the time and immediately helped her deal with the injury.


    In addition, her injuries seemed to be on her left arm, as well as the **** and ring finger of her left hand. "


    ����Don��t go, let her have her leg amputated directly.��


    ???��


    ����


    A few hours later, at 8:30 pm.


    ??Luo An wore a smart black suit and drove the black Ford bought by Mona''s father and arrived at the hotel where the Los Angeles mayor''s dinner was held.


    After parking the car, Luo An just walked to the door of the hotel when he suddenly heard someone calling his name. When he turned around, he saw that it was Director Nasim and his wife.


    ��Good evening, Director.��


    ?Luo An smiled and greeted the two of them, and walked into the hotel together.

 Chapter 513： Dinner, sudden call from FBI headquarters

    Chapter 513 Dinner, sudden call from FBI headquarters


    Today''s dinner is the birthday party of the mayor of Los Angeles. There are many guests, businessmen, politicians, some stars from Hollywood, and even according to Director Nasim, the governor of California will also come to the dinner.


    ��There are all elderly people here, so don��t stay with us here.��


    After chatting for a while, Director Nasim handed the wine glass to the passing waiter and smiled at Luo An:


    ��Upstairs is the place for young people. Go there and have a look.��


    After saying these words, Director Nasim patted Luo An on the shoulder and continued in a low voice:


    ��The mayor��s daughter is also there, you can go and have a chat with her.��


    Looking at Director Nasim��s eyes as he handed it to him, Luo An��s eyes flashed with a hint of speechlessness.


    ��A very good young man.��


    Looking at Luo An''s back, Director Nasim''s wife raised her lips slightly. Luo An had left a good impression on her during the conversation just now. She put the wine glass next to her and asked:


    ��You want to introduce this Greenwood team leader to the mayor��s daughter?��


    ��There��s no harm in letting them meet.��


    Director Nasim smiled and shook his head. This kind of matter was not his to have the final say. Seeing a familiar congressman walking towards the two of them, the two tacitly agreed not to discuss the matter anymore and began to chat with the visitor about other things with a smile. matter.


    ??Take the elevator and walk into the second floor. Like the one downstairs, it is also full of guests attending the banquet. The difference is that the people on this floor are younger and there are more female guests. There is a very beautiful girl in the center.


    ??The girl has long blond hair, a delicate face, dazzling pearl pendants hanging from her ears, and wears a silver backless dress. The long, white thighs exposed when walking around are very eye-catching.


    ??Luo An recognized the other party as Carolina, the daughter of the mayor of Los Angeles.


    ?However, Luo An glanced at the other party briefly, then turned and walked to the cold table nearby.


    ?The other person is very good-looking, but not Luo An''s cup of tea. Not only because Luo An already has Mona, but also because the other person may have spent all his efforts on his face and thighs, and has not gained weight where he should be, and is far inferior to Mona.


    Just as Luo An was standing by the cold table, slowly tasting the food, a girl suddenly came over:


    ��Hi! Luo An! See you again!��


    The girl''s voice was full of sugar. Luo An swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at the other person. He found that the face looked familiar, and he quickly remembered the other person''s name:


    ��Adeanna?��


    ��That��s right, it��s me!��


    ?The girl put her hands on her hips, blinked her surprisingly big eyes, and looked at Luo An with a smile.


    ??It was the girl that Luo An met not long ago when he attended the coming-of-age ceremony of Elmer''s daughter.


    ?Luo An was a little surprised:


    ��Why are you here too?��


    ��Because my mother works part-time as the mayor��s financial advisor.��


    Adiana was very proud:


    ��That��s why I went to this party.��


    ?? Before Luo An could continue to speak, Adriana suddenly ran away, and then pulled a young boy here from the crowd in the distance. Adriana''s face was full of happiness and she asked:


    ��This is my boyfriend, Martin. Isn��t he handsome?��


    ??Luo An nodded. This boy was a little shy, but he was indeed handsome. However, Luo An didn''t understand why Adrianna showed him to him.


    ��It��s not interesting, I��m just telling you that I��m no longer interested in you.��


    Adiana waved her hands, saying that she saw the press conference yesterday and felt that Luo An��s job was too dangerous and she didn��t like it.


    ??Then without waiting for Luo An to reply, Adriana stood up on tiptoes and kissed the boy on the face, then threw the boy down and ran away in a hurry and started chatting with other girls.


    ����


    ??Luo An was a little speechless and didn''t quite understand Adriana''s brain circuit. He picked up a wine glass and Luo An smiled and stretched out his hand to the boy in front of him:


    Hello, my name is Roan Greenwood.


    ??The boy smiled shyly, stretched out his hand and shook Luo An''s hand:


    ��Martin, Martin-Viclar.��


    The moment the two shook hands, Luo An''s heart moved slightly. He had always turned on his "emotional perception" and realized that what the other party said was a lie.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he took a sip of wine and asked with a slight smile:


    ��Can I ask about your job?��


    ��I��m a singer.��


    When mentioning music, Martin''s eyes flashed with light, and he looked a little more confident. He talked a lot about music to Luo An. But Luo An keenly discovered that except for the knowledge about music, which was true, other things the other party said were still lies.


    Luo An became more and more interested. At this moment, people in the whole room suddenly began to move towards the stairs in the distance. Adriana ran over quickly, picked up Martin and left, urging Luo An at the same time:


    "The banquet is about to start. The mayor is going to speak downstairs. Come downstairs quickly!"


    ��OK.��


    Luo An followed the two of them downstairs. At this time, the music in the hall had stopped. The mayor of Los Angeles stood in the middle of the crowd. He needed to say something to express his feelings for tonight. The attitude you should have.


    ?Looking around briefly, the mayor raised the wine glass in his hand:


    ��Thank you! I want to thank you all for being here, and also thank you for your support over the past few years����


    Mr. Mayor��s voice gradually increased, and only his voice could be heard in the quiet hall.


    ��Being the mayor of Los Angeles is always stressful.��


    ��For example, economic problems, such as public security problems����


    As he was talking, the mayor of Los Angeles suddenly said loudly:


    ��Mr. Greenwood!��


    Mr. Mayor looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Luo An.


    ??The crowd separated and Luo An was exposed to people''s eyes. Some people looked at him in surprise. They did not expect that Luo An would be called by name alone on such an important occasion.


    ��Mr. Greenwood is an excellent law enforcement officer. The gas case and bank robbery case some time ago were quickly solved due to his efforts..."


    After briefly mentioning the two cases, the Mayor of Los Angeles quickly moved on to other aspects, such as CEOs of certain companies and economic issues. However, as the first person mentioned by the Mayor of Los Angeles, Luo An was It attracted many people''s surprised and curious eyes.


    Soon, the mayor finished his words and raised his wine glass high. All the guests present also raised their wine glasses. The music started again and the atmosphere became high in an instant!


    The next step will be individual and deeper communication. Everyone can chat with the Mayor of Los Angeles about what they care about and are interested in. Of course, this is also the core content of this dinner event.


    Roan wanted to continue chatting with Mr. Martin, but was stopped by the mayor��s daughter Carolina:


    ��Hello, Mr. Greenwood, you look more handsome than you do on TV.��


    ?Luo An stopped and clinked his wine glass with her:


    ��You are beautiful too, Miss Severi.��


    Severy is her surname.


    ��Just call me Carolina.��


    ??The girl''s eyes were slightly curved, and a beautiful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and asked:


    ��I am very interested in the poison gas case that my father just filed. Can Mr. Greenwood tell you a little bit about it?��


    "Of course, but there are some inside stories, because I can''t tell them all because of the regulations."


    ��Of course, I understand.��


    The two chatted for a while, and Carolina suddenly asked:


    ��I heard that there is a movie based on Mr. Greenwood��s personal experience of the case?��


    ��I just sold the adaptation rights about me in that case to Columbia Pictures.�� (Chapter 234 - The Bombing of the First Lady)


    Thinking of what Mona and Michelle mentioned before, Carolina has always wanted to develop in Hollywood, Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, he had a guess in his mind, and he asked with a smile:


    ��Is Miss Severi interested in that film adaptation?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Carolina didn��t hide anything, she nodded directly and said:


    ��As far as I know, Columbia Pictures has already begun preparations for the film and is currently in the casting stage.


    Mr. Greenwood, do you think I have what it takes to play the heroine in that movie? "


    ??Luo An laughed when he heard this. The girl in front of him was obviously ill and sought medical treatment. He was not the director or producer, he just sold the story to Columbia Pictures.


    ��Mr Greenwood, I think����


    ?Seeing Luo An smiling and saying nothing, a flash of urgency flashed in Carolina''s eyes. At this moment, Director Nasim suddenly walked over from the side.


    ��Sorry, Carolina, for interrupting your conversation.��


    Director Nasim apologized briefly, and then said to Luo An:


    ��The Washington headquarters just contacted me and asked you to rush there.��


    Luo An frowned, and before he could speak, Director Nasim followed and said in a deep voice:


    "The request on the other end is immediate! I have prepared the plane for you, you can leave now!"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 514： Plane, Meeting Kennedy Again, New Case Situation

    Chapter 514 Plane, meeting Kennedy again, new case situation


    ?At nine-thirty in the evening, a black Ford car roared past on the streets of Los Angeles.


    ??The person driving the car was the personal secretary of Nasim, the director of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch. He was very good at driving. While the speed was fast, the interior of the car was also very stable.


    Luo An was sitting in the back seat, looking at the receding scenery outside the window with an expressionless expression.


    Before leaving the dinner, Director Nasim repeatedly emphasized to Luo An in a low voice that his mobile phone must be turned off and no one could be contacted during the whole journey. This made Luo An full of doubts and guessing what happened.


    Not long after, the black Ford arrived at the small airport of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch. Director Nasim''s secretary quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Luo An:


    ��Go straight ahead.��


    ��OK, thank you.��


    ??Smoothly turning on the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An got out of the car and thanked his secretary. The secretary nodded, turned back to the car, and drove the Ford directly away.


    ?In the dark night, red and blue lights flashed on the ground in the center of the runway at the small airport of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch.


    There are some tall warehouses around the runway, where small aircraft used by FBI Los Angeles branch agents for emergency trips are parked, as well as some special-purpose helicopters.


    Under the dark night, gusts of cold wind blew in my face.


    Wearing a suit, Luo An stood alone on the asphalt concrete ground of the airport. When he saw the lights of a large warehouse not far away, he narrowed his eyes slightly and walked over quickly with his thighs open.


    In the large warehouse, the lights were shining, and parked was a small plane with a familiar style. Luo An had flown in this plane before when he took the special investigation team to San Francisco on a business trip.


    ??When Luo An walked into the warehouse, there were several workers busy under the small plane.


    Just as Luo An was about to walk over and ask, a very strong black man suddenly walked up not far away. He asked expressionlessly:


    ��Roan Greenwood?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An looked at him and nodded. Seeing that he was right, the black man took out a black hood from behind and grinned:


    ��Sorry, please understand.��


    ����


    After saying that, the black man put the hood directly on Luo An''s head. Luo An lost his vision and could only be led forward by the other party.


    ?But Luo An didn''t panic. On the one hand, his "emotional perception" told him that the other party had no ill intentions.


    On the other hand, Luo An has just memorized the layout of this warehouse, and the "emotional perception" in his mind has nothing to do with vision. Even if he closes his eyes, he can find where the people around him are.


    ??Contrary to what Luo An imagined, the other party did not take him to the small plane in the center of the warehouse, but took him to a helicopter at the other end of the warehouse.


    The helicopter started, and Luo An, the black man, and a helicopter pilot flew into the sky amidst bursts of roar.


    About ten minutes, Luo An felt the helicopter slowly descending and finally stopped somewhere.


    The black man pulled Luo An, who was wearing a hood, out of the helicopter. He continued to walk forward for a while, opened the door and took him into a room. He pressed Luo An on a chair without letting him take off his hood and said:


    ��Sit down and rest for a while until someone comes to see you later.��


    After saying that, the black man turned around and was about to leave. At this moment, Luo An, who was wearing a hood on the chair, suddenly said:


    ��The person is already opposite me, why do I have to wait?��


    ����


    Hearing this, the black man immediately stopped and looked at Luo An in surprise, and then looked at the person sitting opposite Luo An in surprise.


    Seeing the person opposite waving to him, the black man nodded, took a deep look at Luo An, then turned and walked out of the room.


    ��Can I take off my hood?��


    Hearing the sound of the door closing, Luo An turned his head to his right side and asked aloud:


    ��This thing is very boring.��


    After the words fell, a chuckle came from Luo An��s right side:


    ��Of course, please do so.��


    ?? Raising his hand and taking off his hood, Luo An squinted his eyes to adjust to the light in the room, and briefly checked the layout of the room.


    ?This room is not big and the layout is very simple. Apart from the light tubes on the ceiling, there are only two chairs on the floor and a big computer monitor on the table. Sitting on the chair opposite Luo An was a middle-aged white man with short hair, no beard, and wearing a black suit.


    ??The man''s face was very familiar to Luo An. It was the deputy director of the FBI''s Washington Headquarters in Washington, D.C., who Luo An and Veranith met when they attended a banquet together: Trick Kennedy (Chapter 221)


    ��Good evening, Roan.��


    ��Good evening, Mr. Kennedy.��


    ?Trick Kennedy raised the corners of his mouth, took the hood that Luo An took off his head, and asked with some confusion:


    ��Tell me, please, how did you find someone across from you?


    I obviously didn��t move, and I had already controlled my breathing very well. "


    ��Intuition.��


    ?Luo An grinned. The moment he entered the room, the "emotional perception" in his mind discovered the other person''s existence.


    ?Trick Kennedy didn��t believe this explanation, but couldn��t think of any other reasons, so he could only smack his lips and look at Luo An in admiration:


    ��Well, a great intuition.��


    ��So, what��s going on today?��


    ?Luo An glanced around, spread his hands and asked:


    ��I thought I would take a plane to the FBI headquarters in Washington, but I didn��t expect that I would still be in Los Angeles.


    ??It''s so mysterious, do you want me to be an agent to perform some mission? "


    ��It��s not like I��m an agent, I just have a case that needs to be handled by this excellent leader of the special investigation team.��


    ?Trick Kennedy took out a briefcase from behind his back, took out a folder and handed it to Luo An, while explaining:


    ��Three days ago, Mr. Alexander Henderson, director of the Information Management Division of the FBI��s Washington headquarters, collided with a large truck while driving his car on his way to work and died on the spot.


    ??The driver of the large truck died at the scene of the crime due to excessive blood loss before the police arrived. "


    "Wow."


    Looking at the photos of the crime scene in the folder and the autopsy reports of the truck driver and Alexander, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he asked:


    ��There are so many powerful guys in the FBI headquarters in Washington. It seems that this kind of murder case doesn��t require me to be the leader of a small special investigation team.��


    ��Don��t underestimate yourself, Roan.


    ?The case detection rate of the special investigation team you lead is among the best even at the FBI headquarters in Washington. "


    ?Trick Kennedy stood up and walked to Luo An, smiled and patted his shoulder, and then introduced:


    ��In addition to this case, we also found out one more thing.


    ?? Before his death, Minister Alexander arranged for three agents from the FBI''s Washington headquarters to work with the Chicago branch''s special investigation team to secretly investigate and handle a case.


    But after the car accident, the three headquarters detectives and the Chicago branch''s special investigation team, a total of ten people, all went into a state of loss of contact.


    No one knows where they went, or whether they were alive or dead. "


    ��Chicago Division��s Special Investigations Unit?��


    ?Luo An was stunned for a moment, remembering the other party''s situation.


    ???The leader of the special investigation team, named Eason Patel, is the guy who made Luo An face the wrath of the Washington headquarters when he wanted to use him as a gun when he went to the Washington headquarters for an interview (Chapter 362)


    Later, Luo An saw through the other party''s idea and tricked the other party during the interview, allowing the other party to successfully "promote" and be responsible for starting to handle cases in a state.


    ?Luo An originally thought that the other party had been dealing with old difficult cases, but he didn''t expect that he had lost contact now.


    Closing the folder, Luo An looked up at Trick Kennedy and asked:


    ��So, you want me to find these ten missing agents?��


    ?Trick-Kennedy nodded and then added:


    ��And find out what case Minister Alexander asked these ten people to investigate before he was alive; who was behind the murder of Minister Alexander; and what was the reason behind the murder.��


    Luo An frowned:


    ��There are so many agents at the FBI headquarters in Washington, why are they looking for me?��


    ��Because you are good enough, and I can only confirm that you, and your Special Investigation Team, have no connection with Minister Alexander.��


    Speaking of this, Trick Kennedy''s face darkened:


    ��Those people in the Washington headquarters, maybe.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 515： [The case of the missing FBI agent after the death of a certain director]

    Chapter 515 [The case of the death of a certain FBI headquarters minister and the missing agent]


    ?Seeing the gloomy expression on Trick Kennedy''s face, Luo An frowned and raised his hand to rub his temples.


    ?It is not difficult to understand the meaning of the other party''s words, which is that he is worried that there is a mole in the FBI headquarters in Washington, or there is something else wrong.


    ?Such things happen one after another in both the CIA and the FBI. Luo An has heard of many similar cases.


    ����


    ?At this moment, there was a burst of electricity in the room. Luo An opened his eyes and found that Trick Kennedy bent down and opened the big computer monitor on the table next to him.


    ?A burst of black and white snowflakes flashed by, and the face of an old man appeared on the monitor. It was Veranith''s uncle and superior officer, Mr. Clement.


    ��Good evening, Roan.��


    ��Good evening, sir.��


    Mr. Clement on the other end of the monitor said without any nonsense:


    ��Kennedy should have already introduced the matter, so I won��t repeat it.


    Luo An, this case is under special circumstances. You must find out the circumstances behind it. "


    "I will try my best."


    Luo An didn��t finish his words too much, and then he asked:


    ��Where is Chief Verenis��?��


    ��You are only responsible for me and Kennedy in this case. If you have any questions, please call us directly.��


    Mr. Clement on the screen gave Trick Kennedy a look. Seeing this, Trick Kennedy immediately turned around and took out a flip phone from his briefcase and handed it to Luo An.


    ����


    Luo An��s lips twitched as he looked at the retro-style flip phone in his hand.


    Mr. Clement said a few words briefly and hung up the monitor. Trick Kennedy then turned off the monitor here and said:


    ��Luo An, we must do our best to investigate this case.��


    ?Luo An tilted his head in confusion:


    "How to say?"


    ��Some time ago, there was another quarrel at the FBI��s Washington headquarters over the existence of our ten special investigation teams.��


    ?Trick Kennedy sneered and said:


    ��The final agenda of that group of people is to cancel your ten special investigation teams and return you to your original sequence of ordinary investigation teams.


    A group of short-sighted guys who only think about cat **** coffee! "


    Luo An frowned slightly when he heard this and asked:


    ��Have they decided yet?��


    "It has been confirmed that for some reasons, this news will be officially released in four months."


    ?Trick Kennedy patted Luo An on the shoulder and said with a serious face:


    "But as long as this case is investigated clearly, Mr. Clement will have sufficient reason to silence those people and preserve your special investigation team."


    ��OK.��


    Luo An was silent for a while and nodded, then asked:


    ��Before investigating this case, do you have any information files that you would like to give me?��


    ?Trick Kennedy shook his head:


    "No."


    ��New technology device?��


    "No."


    ��What work did Minister Alexander handle during his lifetime?��


    ��It was taken away by the Information Management Department and I can��t get it.��


    ��Information about the three agents from the Washington headquarters?��


    ��Previously taken by Minister Alexander.��


    ����So, you can��t provide any help?��


    ��No, I just gave you the autopsy reports of Minister Alexander and the truck driver.


    Also, you still have that flip phone in your hand, you can call me and Mr. Clement. "


    Luo An: ������


    Ten minutes later, Trick Kennedy left the room with the black bodyguard.


    They also wanted to take the small plane back to the FBI''s Washington headquarters. The plane was designed to prevent some people from noticing that Trick Kennedy was meeting Roan tonight, and it was deliberately concealed.


    Starting tonight, the special investigation team led by Luo An will begin a three-month vacation.


    This period of time is essentially the time that Mr. Clement and Trick Kennedy left for the Special Investigation Team to secretly investigate the case.


    At the top of a building in Los Angeles, outside a small room, lights flickered and cold wind howled. Looking at the back of the helicopter that carried Trick Kennedy and the black bodyguards away, Luo An, who was wearing a black suit and his hair was messy in the wind, had a stern expression and was silent for a long time. He took out his mobile phone in his pocket:


    ��Members of the Special Investigation Team, we will gather in Lacey��s ward in two hours.��


    ����


    Winslow arrived at Lacey''s ward first, and saw that in addition to the original injury, she also had a plastered left arm and two bandaged fingers. He was suddenly surprised:


    ��Lacie, what happened to you? Did you fall when you were going to the bathroom?��


    ����


    ?Lexi, who was lying on the hospital bed, rolled her eyes at Winslow and was too lazy to talk to him.


    Winslow smiled, pulled up a chair and sat next to her, picked up an apple from Lacey''s bedside table and ate it.


    ��Hey, are you going a little too far?��


    Lacie��s eyes suddenly widened:


    ��You came to my place and didn��t take any gifts, but you actually robbed a wounded soldier of mine.


    When Luo An and Mona came here before, they brought me a few bottles of drinks. "


    ��You can��t eat it now anyway, and it would be a waste if it goes bad.��


    Winslow quickly finished the apple in several big mouthfuls. While eating, he said that he had been drinking with someone in the bar before, and he came as soon as he got the call. He didn''t have time to buy a gift, so he would make up for it next time.


    Before Lacey could speak, Winslow picked up the second apple and asked at the same time:


    ��Do you know why Luo An called us so urgently just now?��


    The time is now close to twelve o''clock in the evening.


    ��Ever since I joined the special investigation team, Luo An rarely calls people to gather at this time.��


    Lacie yawned greatly and guessed:


    ��There may be another case.��


    ?Winslow is still confused:


    ��But when you encounter a case, you should go to the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.��


    ��Maybe this is a case that happened in the hospital.��


    ��makes sense.��


    Not long after the two chatted, Chenelle and Michelle arrived at Lacey''s ward together, followed by Mona. After another ten minutes, Roan was the last to arrive in the room.


    ��Sorry, I��m late.��


    ?Luo An entered the room, waved his hand and apologized. Trick Kennedy and the black man were really cheating.


    ??The building they were in just now was an office building. The door on the roof was locked, and there were several security guards patrolling inside the building.


    ?Trick and Kennedy left easily by helicopter, but Luo An still had to pick the door lock on the roof of the office building, then take the elevator downstairs, and finally take a taxi to the hospital.


    ??Luo An was very speechless along the way. He could only say that those agents in the movie who were always graceful were nonsense. He would have to discuss this matter with Trick Kennedy later.


    After confirming that everyone was present, Luo An asked Winslow and Chenille to check the ward carefully, and once again ensured that there were no bugs or other similar equipment in the room, just in case there was no problem, Luo An briefly introduced Minister Alexander the circumstances of the case.


    ��What?��


    After listening to Luo An��s narration, Lacey��s face was full of surprise:


    ��Let our special investigation team investigate and handle cases at the FBI��s Washington headquarters?��


    "normal circumstances."


    Chenelle leaned against the wall, folded her hands on her chest, and said coldly:


    ��The agents there are much more complicated than those in our branch. Minister Trick-Kennedy cannot believe that they are the norm.��


    ?Winslow, who was sitting in the chair, was focused on another thing. He said solemnly:


    ��There are three agents in the FBI��s Washington headquarters and seven agents in the Special Investigations Unit in Chicago.


    ??Ten well-trained detectives, each with their own specialties, can lose contact. The strength of the mastermind behind this case is definitely extraordinary. "


    Mona took out her laptop again and analyzed:


    ��Is it possible that these ten people lost contact voluntarily?


    They were investigating something at the time and learned that Minister Alexander had a car accident. As a precaution, they had no choice but to lose contact. "


    ?Michelle, who previously worked in the Office of Inspector General at the FBI��s Washington headquarters, nodded and said:


    ��There is such a possibility.��


    ?A few people analyzed for a moment, and finally looked at Luo An and asked:


    ��Team leader, what should we do next?��


    Luo An raised the corners of his mouth and waved his hand:


    ��It��s very simple, since it��s already a holiday, let��s go on a trip!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 516： Analyzing clues, the vests of Luo An and others

    Chapter 516 Analysis of clues, the vests of Luo An and others


    ?The next afternoon in Las Vegas, four people, Luo An, Mona, Winslow and Chenelle, wearing sunglasses and traveling attire, walked out of the airport leisurely with their bags.


    ?Take a taxi to a hotel, carry your belongings and walk into the pre-booked room, agreeing to meet in an hour.


    Because Lacey was injured and hospitalized, Lacey was unable to participate in the operation, so Luo An gave her several bottles of vitamin energy drinks and asked Michelle to stay with her to cover up the situation.


    An hour later, the three of them simply packed up their personal belongings, rested for a while, and came to Luo An''s room together.


    ??In the room, Luo An found a roll of tape and pasted it on the wall with the photos and names of the seven members of the Chicago Special Investigation Team and its team leaders, as well as the photos and names of three agents sent by the FBI''s Washington headquarters.


    ?Pointing to the photos on the wall, Luo An said in a deep voice:


    ��Secretary Alexander at the Washington headquarters is dead, and only these ten people know what happened.


    So our first goal next is to find them. "


    After Luo An finished speaking, Cheniel narrowed her eyes slightly and analyzed:


    ��There are ten of them, and they will not be a small target wherever they go. Should we check their itinerary?��


    ��Of course we have to check.��


    Luo An nodded and said:


    ��Winslow, Chenille, next you will mainly investigate the ticket sales records of planes, trains, buses, etc. in the area where the FBI��s Washington headquarters is located.


    Surveillance of surrounding roads must also be investigated, and the possibility of these ten people driving out of the Washington headquarters area cannot be ruled out. "


    "no problem."


    ?Chenelle''s computer skills are about the same as Michelle''s, and they can both help Mona. Winslow is not very good at computers, but he can still compare surveillance.


    The two nodded in agreement. Luo An then looked at Mona and asked:


    ��Minister Alexander, and Chief of the Chicago Special Investigation Team Eason Patel, can you find any clues on their computers?��


    ??The circumstances of this case were somewhat special, and Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Clement gave him free rein to investigate, so Luo An asked Mona to use some methods that he would not usually allow the other party to use.


    ��I checked it last night.��


    Hearing this, Mona spread her hands and sighed:


    ��Those two people should be older, not very good at using computers, or don��t trust computers. In short, there is no useful information there.


    I now very much suspect that these two people were most likely using traditional paper materials to record the circumstances behind this case. "


    ��Then let��s check other people��s situations, such as computers, consumption records, and financial status, and try to find clues.��


    "no problem."


    ??Mona and the other two started busy, Luo An closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.


    Kennedy''s side couldn''t get paper information, so they had to fumble around in the dark to investigate, and the progress was very difficult.


    After pondering for a while, Luo An''s thoughts turned from the situation of this case to the issue of the survival of the special investigation team.


    Previously, Trick-Kennedy said that the headquarters planned to cancel the establishment of the special investigation team.


    Once this happens, Luo An will either return to New York or stay in Los Angeles, but no matter where he is, he will become the leader of an investigation team with a number, and his power, funds, etc. will be greatly reduced...


    ��Luo An, I have a new discovery here.��


    ??While Luo An was thinking about the future of the Special Investigation Team, Chenille suddenly said loudly:


    ��I found out the itinerary of some of the ten people!��


    ??Luo An quickly moved to Cheniel��s side:


    "where?"


    ��Washington, D.C. to New York, and Chicago to New York.��


    Chenelle called up a surveillance video on a highway, pointed at a car on the computer and said:


    ��Three agents arrived at the FBI headquarters in Washington. They started from the headquarters in Washington and drove straight along the highway to New York.


    Seven people from the Chicago Division''s Special Investigation Team departed from Chicago and took a civil aircraft to New York.


    ?The two parties should have met in New York City, but the itinerary of the ten people behind them was completely undetectable. "


    "New York��"


    A flash of light flashed in Luo An''s eyes, and he stood up thoughtfully. At this moment, Mona next to him suddenly said:


    ��Luo An, I also found something here.��


    Luo An and the other three moved to Mona. On Mona��s laptop screen was a photo of a woman��s head. Mona pointed to the photo and explained:


    "This is one of the ten missing people, one of the members of the Chicago branch''s special investigation team. Ivan''s wife, named Kayleigh, works in a veterinary clinic. When I was investigating the family members of these missing people just now, Those people are either calling everywhere to inquire about the situation, or they don��t know about it yet and go to work normally every day.


    ?Only Ms. Kayleigh��s consumption records show that she bought a plane ticket to go abroad, preparing to leave the Federation and go to Africa. "


    "Africa?"


    ?Winslow was surprised:


    ��It doesn��t seem like a good place there.��


    Cheniere, who was born in the international business department, her eyes lit up, she thought of something, and said:


    ��But there are many countries out there that are perfect for hiding your identity and spending the rest of your life incognito!��


    ?Seeing that the information found by Mona on the computer showed that neither Kayleigh nor her husband Ivan had any relatives or friends in Africa, Luo An did not hesitate and said immediately:


    ��Mona, contact the airline and ask them to find a way to prevent Ms. Kayleigh from going abroad.


    Let��s set off for Chicago! "


    "clear!"


    ����


    ?Chicago, one of the world''s financial centers, the third largest city in the federation, is also a well-known crime capital. It once ranked first in the federal crime rate.


    ??The councilman even called on criminals in the city to only shoot after 9 pm, and try not to shoot and commit crimes between 9 am and 9 pm, so as to give citizens a stable life.


    ?Mona��s father, Javari Evans, was born in Chicago. The local customs and customs were so welcoming that he chose to join the CIA.


    ? ?In an apartment in a certain community in the south side of Chicago, a young woman with long red hair and a little freckles under her eyes was packing her personal belongings in the room with a nervous look on her face.


    Ding dong��


    At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door on the first floor. Nervous Kai Lei was startled and her body trembled. After reacting, she quickly took a deep breath, went downstairs and walked into the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, and then walked to the door of the room. , asked:


    ��Who��s knocking on the door?��


    ��Hello, we are agents of the NSA (Federal National Security Agency)��


    It was Luo An and four others who knocked on the door. However, this case was special. In order to avoid attracting the attention of some people during the investigation, Luo An put an NSA vest on the four of them.


    In addition to the NSA, the four Luo An also had certificates from CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), CSS (Central Security Service), IRS (Federal Inland Revenue Service) and other departments in their pockets. Using different documents, there are always ways to make different people afraid to ask and provoke.


    ��NSA?��


    ?Kailei in the room was stunned for a moment and asked through the door:


    ��What do you want from me?��


    ��I think it might be more appropriate to talk in the room.��


    "��All right."


    ?Kailei pondered for a few seconds, took a deep breath, threw the kitchen knife aside, and slowly opened the door.


    Seeing Luo An and the other four looking at her with smiles outside the door, a stiff smile appeared on Kai Lei''s face, she stepped aside and said:


    ��Please come in.��


    "Thanks."


    Luo An and the other four walked into the room. Kai Lei stood by the coffee table, clasping her hands behind her back and asking:


    ��Are you looking for me or my husband Ivan?


    Ivan is the FBI. He went on a business trip and hasn��t come back yet����


    ��It is precisely because your husband Ivan has not come back from a business trip that we came to find you.��


    Turning on "Emotional Perception", he found that the woman in front of him was full of panic and confusion. Luo An gave Chenier a look. The other party nodded understandingly, stretched out his hand to pull Cailei to sit next to him on the sofa, and began to comfort her. conversation.


    ?At the same time, Mona walked to Luo An holding her laptop and whispered:


    ��There is a discovery.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 517： Florida, new discovery

    Chapter 517 Florida, new discoveries


    ??Before going to Chicago, Luo An and others carefully investigated Kai Lei��s identity information.


    According to the data, Kai Lei and Ivan''s parents are neighbors. They grew up together and went to the same school from elementary school to middle school. In college, they went to different schools, but the two schools were still in the same city. .


    Kai Lei''s parents are devout Christians. Kai Lei was naturally religious under the influence of her parents. After marrying Ivan, she went to work at the pet hospital on weekdays and volunteered at the church on weekends. Ivan loved Kai Lei very much. There was almost no quarrel after marriage.


    On the sofa, Chenelle showed the search warrant to Kayleigh. While comforting the other person in a low voice, she began to briefly ask the other person why she wanted to leave the Federation.


    ?At the same time, as soon as Mona entered the room, she took the other party''s mobile phone to investigate communication records and other information from several magazines on the coffee table.


    ??There was a text message that was deleted not long ago but was restored by Mona, which caught her attention. She showed it to Luo An. The content of the text message was very short, with only one number: 1


    Luo An looked away from the travel magazine on the coffee table and frowned slightly:


    ��Can you find the person who sent this text message?��


    ��Can��t find it.��


    ??Mona shook her head:


    ��The other party is using a disposable mobile phone, the kind that is thrown away after use.��


    ��OK.��


    Roan nodded, Winslow came down the stairs and shook his head:


    ��There are no clues in the study.��


    Roan turned his attention to Ms. Kelly on the sofa. She didn''t have much opinion, but she was already shaken by Michelle''s words.


    ��Ivan told me before this business trip that if I receive a text message with the content ��1��, I will buy a ticket and leave the Federation.��


    ?After a moment of silence, Kai Lei took a deep breath and said:


    ��Other than that, I don��t really know what happened.��


    Chenier frowned slightly when she heard this:


    "Ms. Kelly, you..."


    Roan waved her hand and interrupted Chenelle. "Emotional Perception" confirmed that the other party was telling the truth, which meant that Kayleigh really didn''t understand what happened to her husband.


    After thinking for a while, Mona asked:


    ��Ms. Kelly, did your husband do anything inappropriate before his business trip?��


    ��No, or I didn��t notice it.��


    ?Mona and Cheniel asked several questions in succession, and Kayleigh shook her head to express that she knew nothing.


    ??Mona, Chenelle and Winslow, who had found nothing else except the text message, looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other''s eyes. They turned to look at Luo An. Luo An pondered for a few seconds and asked:


    ��Ms. Kelly, before Ivan went on this business trip, did he tell me where he was going?��


    ��He never told me about those things, and I never asked.��


    ��Who bought these travel magazines on the coffee table?��


    ��I bought it, is there anything wrong with it?��


    ��No, thank you for your cooperation.��


    Roan waved his hand, picked up a travel magazine and walked out of the apartment. The three Winslows were helpless, but they had no choice but to turn around and follow.


    ?The four of them left the apartment and the moment the door closed, Kayleigh''s eyes on the sofa instantly turned red and she raised her hands to cover her cheeks.


    ?Walking to the car, Mona frowned and asked:


    ��I can��t find any clues about that text message, what should we do next?��


    ??Luo An handed the magazine to Winslow, took out his mobile phone and walked aside, saying at the same time:


    ��Mona, Chenelle, get in the car and check the plane, train, highway and other information in Florida to see if there is any information about the Chicago Special Investigation Team.��


    "Florida?"


    ?Mona and Chenelle looked at each other with doubts on their faces:


    ��Why that state?��


    ��Let��s check it first and then talk about it.��


    ?Luo An waved his hand, walked aside and started making a phone call. Mona and Chenelle had no choice but to get in the car and pick up their laptops to investigate. Winslow next to them glanced at the magazine in their hands, and his eyes lit up as if he thought of something.


    ?Taking out the flip phone, there are only two phone numbers in the address book.


    Roan first called Trick Kennedy. After dialing for a long time, the phone rang. When the other party picked up the phone, nearly ten minutes had passed. Roan''s face was full of speechlessness.


    ??Hearing Luo An��s complaint, Trick Kennedy on the other end of the phone laughed and said that this flip phone is a special phone and the signal is sometimes not good, but confidentiality can definitely be guaranteed.


    ??Luo An did not waste time on this topic. He directly stated that he was currently short of manpower and needed the other party to find a way to send people to Kai Lei.


    "no problem."


    ?Trick Kennedy on the other end of the phone agreed wholeheartedly. Before he could ask what stage the case was in, Roan hung up the phone first because Mona in the car called him loudly.


    ��Luo An! Come here quickly!��


    A flash of shock flashed through Chenelle''s eyes. The two of them had indeed found traces of the Chicago Special Investigation Team driving on the surveillance of a highway in Florida.


    Mona looked at the information found on her computer, suppressed the shock in her heart, and asked:


    ��Luo An, how do you know that Ivan and the others went to Florida?��


    Roan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pointed at the travel magazine in Winslow''s hand, and said with a smile:


    ��When I entered the room just now, I found several new travel magazines on the coffee table that I bought a few days ago.


    ??Kailei has been between the pet hospital and the church these years. She is more likely to buy animal magazines or Bible books.


    I just asked who the purchaser of the travel magazine was. Kai Lei said it was her, but her eyes unconsciously looked to the side, indicating that she was lying.


    The couple has no children, and the gifts given by the guests cannot be travel magazines, so the only person who actually buys those magazines is his husband Ivan.


    ?The information before coming here shows that Ivan has no travel plans in the short term, and he is not a person who spends money randomly, so I speculate that those magazines are most likely related to the place where Ivan will go on a mission in the future. "


    ?In addition to these analyses, before Luo An called Trick Kennedy just now, he was also prepared to stay with Cailei for a long time.


    ??But after hearing Mona��s shout just now, Luo An gave up on this Plan-B.


    Winslow took the travel magazine and looked at it, with a flash of admiration in his eyes:


    ��The main contents of these travel magazines are all about Florida. I have noticed these magazines before, but I really didn��t expect this.��


    Chenelle patted Winslow on the shoulder. She had been trying to get clues from Kayleigh, but she also ignored the situation in the magazine.


    ��Wait a minute, everyone, I found something new.��


    ?Suddenly, Mona��s expression changed as she was typing on the keyboard. She suddenly stopped and showed the computer screen to Luo An and said:


    ��I learned from some posts on the Internet that a fierce gunfight occurred at an abandoned port in southern Florida.


    ?? But apart from these posts, I couldn��t find any information about the reasons for the gunfight or the identities of the people who died in the incident. It seemed that someone had deliberately erased it. "


    Winslow and Chenelle frowned slightly when they heard this. Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and asked:


    ��What was the specific time when the gunfight occurred?��


    After typing on the keyboard for a moment, Mona suddenly raised her head and said in a deep voice:


    ��Just a few hours before Minister Alexander died in a car accident!��


    Hearing what he said, Luo An didn''t mean anything nonsense. He immediately opened the door and got into the car:


    ��Mona, buy a plane ticket! Let��s go to Florida!��


    "no problem!"


    ����


    Florida, located on a protruding peninsula on the southeast coast, has a warm climate and beautiful scenery. It is one of the world''s famous tourist areas.


    In addition, due to Florida government regulations, local criminal violations and judges�� sentencing methods must be disclosed to the public, resulting in a large number of bizarre cases being made public.


    ??For example, sneaking into a neighbor''s house in the middle of the night to shave the neighbor''s pet''s head, climbing over the wall into a prison to play with friends in the middle of the night, etc., which led to the emergence of the meme "Florida does not raise idlers" on the Internet.


    The four Luo An arrived in Florida at midnight. On the way to the reserved hotel by taxi, Mona, who was typing on the keyboard of her laptop, suddenly changed her expression, patted Luo An''s arm, and whispered:


    ��Roan, I��m afraid I��ve found someone from the Chicago Special Investigations Unit!��

    Chapter 518: Find the Chicago branch agent, the mole!


    ?Florida, a hotel near the airport, parking lot.


    ��Nine hours ago, in an area a few kilometers north of the abandoned port, someone called the police and reported that they found two suspicious persons with gunshot wounds and weapons in their hands.��


    With her fingers flying on the keyboard, Mona''s laptop screen soon played the recording of the police call received by the Florida Police Center at that time.


    The person who called the police was a young woman. She suspected that the two people were people who had just smuggled into the Federation.


    Chenelle frowned:


    ��Have the police found those two people?��


    ��NO.��


    ??Mona shook her head and said that the local police just drove to the area where the police were called, walked around for a while and then left. They found no trace of the two people and had no intention of looking for them. Stowaways are the norm in Florida.


    ��But I found them.��


    Mona then typed on the keyboard a few times, which revealed a surveillance video from a supermarket near the alarm site. The video showed a person sneaking into the supermarket warehouse, stealing some first-aid items and leaving quickly.


    ??Mona zoomed in on the man''s face. He was one of the seven members of the Chicago Special Investigations Unit named Norberto.


    ��Two hours after this surveillance video, a gunfight occurred on the southeast side of the supermarket.


    ?According to the descriptions given by passers-by when they called the police, one of the two warring parties was an injured duo with only pistols, and the other was a dozen heavily armed guys. "


    ?Mona then typed on the keyboard a few times, then showed the computer screen to Luo An and the other three, and said proudly:


    ��Surveillance on the road showed that the two men had been captured, and they are currently in an abandoned industrial park ten kilometers west of the battle site!��


    ��Well done!��


    Winslow and Chenelle were excited when they heard this. Roan waved his hand and said loudly:


    ��Let��s go to the industrial park!��


    ����


    At two thirty in the morning, outside an abandoned industrial park in a certain area of ??Florida.


    ??Before coming to this abandoned industrial park, Luo An, who had no weapons on him, first took Winslow with him as the NSA to "borrow" a batch of weapons and equipment from the local law enforcement agencies.


    ?Of course, according to regulations, identity must be filled in on the weapons and equipment transfer form, so Luo An left the name of Trick Kennedy.


    Luo An, Winslow, and Chenier put on their body armor, checked their rifles, ammunition and other equipment, and had already sneaked into another building in advance. Mona, who was in charge of logistics, was also ready. She typed on the keyboard a few times and said coldly. road:


    ��The enemy situation has been determined. The infrared thermal imaging camera shows that there are 13 enemies in total, 4 on each of the second and third floors, and 5 on the fourth floor.


    ?In addition, according to the infrared thermal imaging camera, there are two people tied to chairs in the center of the fourth floor. They are most likely the members of the Chicago Special Investigation Team we are looking for! "


    ��Good.��


    ?? Luo An simply pressed the contact device on his body a few times to make sure that there was no problem with the contact device, and then began to formulate an action plan and ordered:


    ��Chenille, I��ll leave the enemies on the second floor to you, Winslow, you��ll be in charge of the third floor, and I��ll go to the fourth floor.


    Judge the appropriate place to infiltrate by yourself, follow my orders and act together, use grenades to clear the way, focus on saving yourself, and decide whether to stay alive depending on the situation! "


    ??Luo An himself was confident that he would keep alive for interrogation, but because he was worried about Winslow and Chenelle being injured, he asked them to give priority to protecting themselves.


    "clear!"


    ? Winslow and Chenier nodded heavily, Luo An made a gesture, and the three of them immediately bent down and raised their weapons, quickly sneaked into the industrial park from different directions, and went straight to the building where the target person was located.


    ?Moving quietly to the back of the building, Luo An took out a bottle of [Swift Potion] and a bottle of [Featherfall Potion] and poured them into his stomach.


    A flash of light flashed in his eyes. Luo An put the rifle behind him, stepped on the ground with his feet and jumped up suddenly. He immediately grabbed the concrete floor with his hands, then took advantage of the situation to grab the iron fence, and continued to jump up and climb, and soon he was in the air. Without anyone noticing, he moved from the first floor to the fourth floor.


    ��Arrived at the designated location.��


    On the fourth floor full of ruins, Luo An hid behind a pillar, squatting and holding up his rifle, carefully observing the enemy not far away through the magnifying glass, and whispered expressionlessly:


    ��The location of 5 enemies has been determined, and no hostages have been seen.��


    ??Mona''s position was just right enough to see the hostages, but she couldn''t see Luo An.


    ??Hearing Luo An tell her his location, Mona''s eyes flashed with surprise. She didn''t understand how Luo An moved there so quickly, but she still quickly replied:


    ��The two hostages are behind the wooden cabinet behind the second enemy on your right.��


    After observing carefully for a moment, Mona��s voice suddenly became colder:


    ��The hostages were identified as one male and one female. The male was Norberto, whom we discovered earlier, and the female was Agent Donnetta from the Chicago Special Investigations Unit.


    The two of them were suspected of having been injected with truth serum, and their mental state was not very good. "


    "I see."


    Roan''s eyes moved slightly, and then asked: "Winslow, Chenelle, how are you guys doing?"


    ��Arrived at the designated location.��


    ?Chenelle on the second floor was the first to answer. Within a few seconds, Winslow''s breathing sounded through the communicator:


    ��We have arrived at the designated location. Pay attention! The enemies on the third floor have rocket launchers in their hands. Your enemies there may also have similar weapons, so be careful!��


    "clear."


    ??Cherniel, who was in the corner of a room on the second floor, narrowed her eyes and nodded heavily. Luo An reached out and took out two grenades from his waist, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Start the countdown, take action in three seconds!��


    "three!"


    "two!"


    "one!"


    At the moment when the last number ended, several identical grenades flew out from different locations on the fourth, third, and second floors towards the area where the enemy was!


    Boom! boom! boom!


    Boom! boom! boom!


    A deafening explosion sounded suddenly, and the glass in the factory was instantly blown into locking pieces. Several gun-wielding enemies did not even react, and were knocked to the ground by grenades.


    ��Enemy attack!��


    ��Attention! There are enemies!��


    ��Right, right!��


    ��Watch out for grenades!��


    "Counterattack! MotherFu-ker! Counterattack! Counterattack!"


    ?Bang bang bang��


    In an instant, explosions and firefights were heard from the second, third, and fourth floors at the same time.


    ??Winslow and Chenelle followed Roan''s previous instructions, first opening the way with grenades and killing two enemies. Then, before the enemies could react, they quickly raised their guns to attack and easily killed the remaining two enemies.


    ??On the fourth floor, the two grenades thrown by Luo An successfully blew up two enemies, and their bodies fell directly to the first floor along the large hole.


    ??The moment the glass shattered, Luo An sprang out like a cheetah, holding up his weapon and quickly rushed towards the remaining three enemies.


    boom! boom! boom!


    boom! boom! boom!


    With two guns in the chest and one in the head, as soon as the two enemies raised their guns, Luo An sent them to God with six bullets.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ??The last bald enemy''s eyes flashed with shock, but at the same time his face was full of anger. He raised the rifle in his hand and was about to pull the trigger at Luo An.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ??The next second, Luo An moved to the bald man''s side like a ghost, grabbed the man''s rifle with his left hand and raised it, emptying all the bullets.


    ??Luo An then kicked the opponent''s calf, causing the opponent to bend and kneel uncontrollably. He raised his right fist and punched him in the head under the horrified gaze of the bald white man.


    score


    The next second, the bald white man''s eyes rolled white, his body went limp, the weapon in his hand fell to the ground, and he fainted on the ground.


    ��The enemies on the second floor have been cleared!��


    ��The third floor is completed!��


    ��The enemies on the fourth floor have also been dealt with. After replenishing the guns, hurry up and go upstairs.


    Mona, come here too. "


    Luo An pressed the communicator and replied casually. He bent down and took out the handcuffs and cuffed the hands and feet of the bald white man together. Then he walked around the wooden cabinet and walked towards the hostage behind.


    ?There was a man and a woman **** on two chairs. Their faces were covered with swelling and wounds, their eyes seemed to be open, and their mouths trembled and whispered something from time to time.


    Luo An frowned slightly, and while untying the two of them, he gently patted their cheeks:


    ��I am Roan Greenwood, your team leader should have mentioned me.


    How about it? Can you hear me? "


    ?The next second, the male agent Norberto��s eyes suddenly widened, he grabbed Luo An��s arm and shouted:


    ��The mole! Report to the headquarters! There is a mole!��

 Chapter 519： The mission of the Chicago Investigation Team, the story of the day of the operation

    Chapter 519 The mission of the Chicago investigation team, the story of the day of the operation


    After Norberto yelled heartbreakingly, blood suddenly came out of the corner of his mouth, his body twitched wildly, and he quickly lost his breath.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Seeing several empty syringes of Veritaserum on the table nearby, Luo An cursed in a low voice.


    Fortunately, the female agent Donnita next to her was in poor condition, but her breathing was still stable. Luo An quickly untied the rope behind her and lowered her smoothly to the ground.


    Soon, Winslow, Cheniel, and Mona arrived on the fourth floor one after another. When they saw the dead Norberto, the three of them had very ugly expressions.


    ?Luo An bent down to examine carefully for a moment, then raised his head and concluded:


    ��There were many untreated wounds on Norberto��s body, and even bullets were inside.


    ?Mona found previous surveillance cameras that showed that Norberto had gone to the supermarket to steal medicines. Now it seems that most of those medicines were probably used by him to treat Donnita, and he probably didn''t use much of them himself. "


    ��With the addition of these excess doses of truth serum����


    ?Chenelle and Winslow looked at the bald man who fainted on the ground next to them with dark expressions, their eyes full of anger.


    ??The gunfire just now was too fierce, and because he was worried about involving the local police, Luo An asked Chenier and Winslow to take some photos of the faces of the dead enemies and keep them as evidence for subsequent identity investigations.


    Mona helped Tangnita go downstairs. Luo An carried the fainted bald man and carried Norberto''s body into the car. After Winslow and Chenier took the photos, they immediately drove away from the abandoned area. industrial area.


    ?More than an hour later, in a remote forest a few kilometers away, Donnita slowly woke up.


    Upon learning the identities of Luo An and others, Donnita''s eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, but when she saw Norberto''s body next to her, Donnita couldn''t control her emotions, her eyes turned red and she began to sob.


    The air in the car was very depressing. Chenier and Mona comforted Donnita in low voices. When Donnita''s mood stabilized, Luo An talked about Norberto''s shouting about being a mole just before his death, and how Minister Alexander died in a car accident. matter, asked:


    ��What mission will your Chicago Special Investigation Team and FBI headquarters agents carry out this time?


    What happened on the day of the mission? "


    ��We have been betrayed! Someone betrayed us!��


    Tangnita gritted her teeth and replied:


    ��We have two tasks this time. The obvious task is to make a deal with an arms dealer in the underground world.


    The actual mission is to take this opportunity to seize the arms dealer! "


    Tangnita said that the arms dealer she was talking about was named "Hamilton", and he was a very powerful and famous arms dealer in the underground world.


    Some time ago, Minister Alexander and others at the headquarters secretly arrested a man named "Jasper". He was the leader of a criminal group and had many dealings with the arms dealer Hamilton.


    So Minister Alexander planned to have Jasper contact the arms dealer Hamilton before the news spread that "the leader of the criminal group, Jasper, had been arrested" and said that he wanted to buy a batch of weapons to lure the arms dealer Hamilton into taking the bait. , take the opportunity to catch the opponent.


    The arrest plan was handed over by Minister Alexander to the Chicago Special Investigation Team. Three agents from the FBI headquarters were responsible for guarding and escorting Jasper, the leader of the criminal group.


    The three Winslows looked at each other. This plan was not difficult to understand. Roan then asked:


    ��Something unexpected happened on the trading day?��


    ��That��s right!��


    ??Donnita wiped away her tears, nodded and replied:


    ��On the day of the transaction, our Chicago Special Investigation Team and three agents from the FBI headquarters pretended to be subordinates of the criminal group leader Jasper, and successfully met the arms dealer Hamilton himself at the dock.


    Just as we were preparing to take action, a group of enemies with weapons suddenly appeared outside the dock. They not only attacked us, but even attacked the arms dealer Hamilton and others.


    Because the incident happened suddenly, a large number of our people were killed and injured instantly.


    ??Chicago Special Investigation Team, except for Norberto and I who managed to escape, the team leader Ethan Patel and team members Ivan, Allen, James, and Vivian all died on the scene.


    Three agents from the FBI headquarters were killed in the first wave of attacks by the enemies who suddenly appeared, and all our ambush personnel also died in their hands..."


    After listening to Donnita''s description, Winslow and Mona frowned. Chenille suddenly changed her expression and thought of something. She subconsciously looked up at Luo An and was about to speak.


    ?Seeing Cheniel''s movements, Luo An calmly gave her an expression to signal her to stop talking, and then asked:


    ��Donnita, what��s the mole you and Norberto talked about?��


    ��Isn��t it very simple?��


    ??Donnita wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and said with an angry face:


    ��This mission is top secret, and mobile phones and other communication equipment were taken away from all of us along the way.


    ?But on the day of the transaction, a group of enemies suddenly appeared and wanted to kill us. If there were no insiders, how would that group of enemies know about this operation? "


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��Then Donita, who do you think is the mole?��


    Tangnita replied without thinking:


    ��Of course the one who survives is Gui����


    Speaking of this, Donnita''s expression suddenly changed.


    Because everyone else is dead and she is the only one alive now!


    It��s broken, I��m a mole! Donnita took a deep breath and her breathing became rapid. Seeing Luo An looking at her expressionlessly, Donnita waved her hands back and said with panic on her face:


    ��No, I��m not a mole, I��m really not����


    ��OK.��


    Roan waved his hand, Mona immediately stepped forward and hugged Donnita and walked away. Winslow frowned slightly and said:


    ��Luo An, I don��t think the mole is Donnita.��


    ??Luo An nodded, the "emotional perception" in his mind was always on, and he was sure that everything Donnita said just now was the truth.


    Rubbing his temples, Luo An pondered for a few seconds and said:


    ��Remember the text message we found on a burner phone at Kelly��s house in Chicago?��


    ��That��s what I just wanted to say.��


    ? Cheniere next to her looked serious:


    ��Donnita just said that her colleague Ivan died in that battle.


    ??I now seriously suspect that Ivan actually faked his death that day, or faked his death to escape. He was the mole! "


    ��But what��s the reason why Ivan did this?��


    Winslow also thought of this and his face darkened:


    ��For money? Or for something else?��


    ��It��s possible����


    ??Roan waved his hand to interrupt the discussion between Winslow and Chenelle, then took out a pistol from his waist, walked over to the still unconscious bald white man, and kicked him in the stomach.


    score


    The severe pain caused the bald man to wake up instantly, but when he saw the black hole of the gun muzzle on his forehead, cold sweat fell down, and he stopped as soon as he started to curse.


    ��I asked, and I answered.��


    ??Luo An lightly hit the bald man on the head with his pistol, looked at him expressionlessly, and said:


    ��It��s obvious that you do things for money. Only when a person is alive can he have a future. With just a little money a month, there is no need to risk his life like your colleagues, right?��


    ??The bald man nodded repeatedly with a serious face. He felt that what Luo An said was very reasonable. He agreed with it very much. Then he said that Luo An asked whatever he wanted and he promised to tell the truth 100%.


    ��Very good, what��s your name?��


    ��Omalion.��


    ��Age?��


    ��35.��


    Luo An asked several questions in succession. The bald man told the truth, so he continued:


    ��Who was the person who sent you to arrest the man and woman just now and interrogate them?��


    ��Our boss, Hamilton!��


    ��??!��


    Hearing the name of the arms dealer, Winslow and Chenelle''s expressions changed slightly.


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly to make sure that the other party was telling the truth. He was silent for a second, and then asked:


    ��What did Hamilton ask you to ask?��


    ��Ask them if they know where Jasper is.��


    ��That criminal group leader? He��s not dead?��


    ��He��s not dead. He ran away on the dock that day and we didn��t catch him.��


    ��Why did you also attack your boss Hamilton on the dock that day? A bitter trick?��


    "I have no idea."


    ??The bald man shook his head repeatedly, indicating that their boss''s order was to kill everyone on the dock, except Jasper, the leader of the criminal group.


    ??The bald man then said that he was just a grassroots soldier and had never seen the boss in person. He heard this order from the captain, and they had only seen photos of Jasper, the leader of the criminal group.


    ?? Luo An then asked a few questions and determined that the bald man had no other clues, so he knocked him out again.


    Winslow and Chenelle on the side frowned, feeling that there were more and more questions about this matter.


    ??Rubbed his temples, Luo An was silent for a few seconds, walked to a distance, took out his flip phone, and called Trick Kennedy.

 Chapter 520： Mission objectives, analysis, and mole?

    Chapter 520: Mission objectives, analysis, and mole?


    Far away, Washington, DC.


    ��What?��


    ?After listening to Luo An��s narration on the phone, Trick Kennedy��s eyes suddenly widened and he said in disbelief:


    ��The mission that Minister Alexander asked the Chicago Special Investigation Team to carry out was to take Jasper, the leader of the criminal group, to lure and arrest the arms dealer Hamilton?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An nodded and continued:


    ��But because there was a mole, the operation failed...��


    ��Fu-k! Fu-k! Fu-k!��


    Trick Kennedy on the other end of the phone was walking back and forth in circles, his face looking as ugly as possible, and he cursed a lot of federal greetings.


    After a long silence, Trick Kennedy took a deep breath and whispered:


    ��Roan, you must find and capture Jasper!


    If you encounter any difficulties, call me immediately and I will definitely find a way to help you solve it!


    ??If I can''t solve it, Mr. Clement will help you solve it! "


    Luo An��s face changed slightly and asked:


    ��What about the arms dealer Hamilton and the mole?��


    ��They don��t matter!��


    ?Trick Kennedy on the other end of the phone was breathing heavily and his eyes were red:


    "Listen, Luo An, as long as you find and capture Jasper, you will definitely get a lot of credit!"


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said:


    ��Sir, could you please tell me why Jasper is so important?��


    Trick Kennedy on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time after hearing this. He took another deep breath and whispered:


    "Luo An, I can''t say too much about the specific situation. You just need to know that Jasper is not only the leader of a criminal group, but he also holds several lists related to the FBI, CIA and other departments!"


    At this time, Trick Kennedy was furious, because Jasper was captured by people from their lineage. After some exchange of interests, Jasper was transferred to Minister Alexander''s lineage.


    ??I never expected that Minister Alexander would be so bold as to use Jasper himself to go fishing, and the fishing failed, leaving Jasper missing and running away without a trace.


    ?The two briefly discussed a few words and hung up the phone. Trick Kennedy picked up his coat on the table and walked out.


    ??This matter must be reported to Mr. Clement immediately. The group of people opposite have made such a big mistake, and it is time to have a good talk with them.


    ?At the same time, in a forest in Florida, Luo An put his flip phone in his pocket, pondered for a moment, then turned and walked back to the car.


    ?? Agent Donnita of the Chicago Special Investigation Team fell into a deep sleep due to physical discomfort. The bald man was also unconscious beside him. Mona, Chenille and Winslow were sorting and analyzing the clues they had so far.


    ?Mona analyzed:


    ��First of all, we can confirm that on the day of the port operation, there was a mole in the Chicago Special Investigation Team.


    This traitor told someone about the day''s action and time, which resulted in the failure of the day''s action and heavy losses. "


    Winslow nodded and added:


    ��This mole is most likely Ivan, and the person in contact with him is most likely the arms dealer Hamilton.��


    ��No, this doesn��t make sense.��


    Hearing this, Chenier shook her head repeatedly, pointed at the unconscious bald man beside her and said:


    ��This guy just said that the order they received was to kill everyone in the port except Jasper, the leader of the criminal group.


    ?This owner includes not only the Chicago Special Investigation Team and three FBI headquarters agents, but also the arms dealer Hamilton himself.


    ??If Hamilton had learned from the insider that the Chicago branch and others were targeting him, then there would be no need for Hamilton to go to the site for trading that day, let alone issue such an order to kill himself. "


    Winslow and Mona frowned slightly. Chenelle thought for a while and then said:


    ��Is there a possibility that the group of people who suddenly appeared were actually called by Jasper, the leader of the criminal group, in order to find a way out of the predicament in which he was caught?��


    Winslow nodded suddenly and said:


    ��The bald man just said that the boss��s order is to kill everyone except Jasper!


    ??Furthermore, he has never seen the boss��s appearance. He only knows that the boss calls himself the arms dealer Hamilton.


    ?Then "Hamilton" is most likely the identity that Jasper pretends to be. The person contacted by the mole Ivan was actually not the arms dealer Hamilton, but the captured criminal group leader Jasper! "


    ��No, it��s still wrong!��


    ?Mona shook her head repeatedly and said:


    ��Don��t forget, the reason why the bald man and the others arrested the detectives from the Chicago Special Investigation Team was to get traces of Jasper from them.


    ??If this group of people were from Jasper, how could they do such a thing of looking for themselves? "


    ����


    ?Mona��s rebuttal is very reasonable, but the matter is stuck here again.


    At this moment, Luo An came over, and Winslow asked first:


    ��Luo An, what are we going to do next?��


    ��The order from the headquarters is for us to find a way to find and capture Jasper.��


    Luo An rubbed his temples, pondered for a while, and said:


    ��We now only speculate that the mole is Ivan, but there is no key evidence.


    Chenelle, go to the law enforcement agency near the port and try to get an autopsy report of the person who died at the port that day to see if Ivan is in it.


    ? Winslow, the headquarters said they will send someone to deal with Agent Donita from the Chicago Special Investigations Unit, and the bald man next to you. Please join me to do the handover work later. "


    "no problem!"


    "clear!"


    Winslow and Chenelle nodded in agreement. Mona thought of something and asked aloud:


    ��Luo An, you just said that our next task is to find Jasper. Do you have any plans?��


    ��Fierce gunfights don��t happen every day.��


    ?Luo An patted Mona on the shoulder and said:


    ��The bald man and his gang are currently looking for Jasper. Jasper will definitely fight back when he escapes, and there is a high probability that the two sides will fight.


    You have worked hard and check the shooting cases in Florida these days, especially the area near the port of the crime to see if you can find useful clues. "


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona nodded in agreement, and Luo An took a brief rest and began to perform their respective tasks according to the previous words.


    Chenelle left first. When she learned that she was going to be sent back to the headquarters, Agent Donnita from the Chicago Special Investigation Team was not afraid. She just emphasized over and over again that she was really not a mole. Luo An listened. and Winslow''s ears were almost calloused.


    As for the bald man Omarian, he barely opened his eyes a few times along the way. As soon as he woke up, Luo An stretched out his fist to help him close his eyes again. The main thing was to fall asleep 100%.


    ?Trick Kennedy acted quickly, and it didn��t take long for someone to pick up Donnita and the bald man. As Roan and Winslow drove back to the temporary location, their cell phones suddenly rang:


    "It''s me, Mona, I think I''ve found Jasper''s trace."


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone said that based on Luo An''s speculation, she carefully searched the area near Anfa Port.


    ?In the surveillance video outside a gym, Mona found Jasper''s fleeting figure, and then there was no trace of Jasper in other surveillance cameras.


    ��But I found a case.��


    There was a burst of typing on the keyboard on the other end of the phone, and Mona introduced:


    ��In the sixth hour after the gym surveillance video, someone called the police on the seaside a few kilometers south of the gym to report that there was a burst of violent gunfire.


    ?After receiving the report, the local police waited for the gunfire to stop before going over to check on the situation.


    ??The content of their report showed that there was a fierce gun battle on that beach, with unknown casualties on both sides. Only one body was found at the scene, and the identity of the body was also found out. It was a smuggler who had been engaged in human smuggling all year round. "


    Winslow, who was driving, quickly thought of something and frowned:


    "Isn''t it that Jasper has secretly left the Federation by boat?"


    ��It��s not impossible.��


    Roan nodded. Before he could say more, Winslow''s cell phone suddenly rang:


    ��It��s me, Chenelle.��


    Chenelle on the other end of the phone spoke in a somewhat urgent tone:


    "I have obtained the death information, but Ivan is missing more than one person! I''m afraid there is also a mole!"

    Half an hour later, the incident happened on a beach a few kilometers south of the port.


    ��These are the death information of all the deceased people in the port that day.��


    ?Next to a car, Chenelle took out a few pieces of thick paper from her pocket and handed them to Luo An and the other three. At the same time, she explained:


    ��The local law enforcement authorities only conducted basic autopsies on these deceased persons. Before the autopsy reports were completed, I simply compared their information.��


    The dead at the port, except for some suspected men of the arms dealer Hamilton, as well as the dead from third-party forces that suddenly appeared, were only three agents from the Chicago Special Investigation Team and the FBI headquarters.


    Chenelle��s face turned cold and she said:


    ��There are seven people in the Chicago Special Investigation Team, and the dead at the port include team leader Eason Patel, and team members Alan, James and Vivian, a total of four people.


    We previously met Donnita and Norberto who escaped and were captured.


    As for team member Ivan, there was only his blood at the scene, not his body. "


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Winslow cursed under his breath and said:


    ��Now it seems certain that Ivan is the mole.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged. Seeing this, Cheniel handed him the paper in her hand and explained with an ugly expression:


    ��The three agents from the FBI headquarters in Washington are all men, and their names are Wilson, Leon, and Alex.


    ?Local law enforcement authorities found only the bodies of Wilson and Leon at the port.


    The last agent Alex, there was only his blood at the scene, not his body! "


    ?Winslow looked left and right, then cursed and said:


    ��How did Minister Alexander choose the people, and how did he get so many moles in one operation?��


    Chenelle rolled her eyes at Winslow, looked at Luo An and said in a deep voice:


    ��The question now is, whose mole is Alex? What is his purpose? Where is he now?��


    ??Luo An rubbed his temples, feeling that the inside story of this case was getting more and more complicated. He was silent for a few seconds, put away the documents, looked at Mona, and asked:


    ��Have you found any information about the smuggler��s subordinates?��


    ??Now the main goal of the four of them is to find Jasper, the leader of the criminal group. Although the smuggler is dead, it is certainly impossible for all of his men to die. There is always someone who knows some information.


    ��The smuggler has a cousin who is also in the smuggling business.��


    ??Mona turned around her laptop, showed a photo of a man to Luo An, and said:


    ��He must know something.��


    ��Good.��


    ??Luo An waved his hand for Cheniel to get in the car, and then said:


    ��Winslow, drive, let��s go talk to this cousin.��


    ����


    Previously, I learned that the bald man and his group were also looking for Jasper. In order not to alert the enemy, Luo An decided not to use his identity as a law enforcement agency this time.


    ?He first asked Chenelle to buy some black balaclavas, and then asked Winslow to drive to the entertainment venue where the snakehead cousin often went.


    After waiting for a moment, the snake-headed cousin walked out of the entertainment venue with a smile and hugged two women with heavy makeup. The three of them walked to the parking lot. Luo An, whose face was covered with a hood, immediately picked up a brick that could be seen everywhere and hit the snake-headed cousin on the head. superior.


    score


    With a muffled sound, the snake-headed cousin rolled his eyes and went limp. Luo An took advantage of this and put the black hood he had prepared earlier on his head.


    Then Luo An gave the two women ten dollars each to silence their screams. Finally, he picked up the smuggler''s cousin and threw him into the car. Winslow stepped on the accelerator and the vehicle disappeared on the road in an instant. , the entire kidnapping process took less than 30 seconds.


    ������x4


    Two women with heavy makeup couldn''t stop looking at the ten dollars in their hands for a long time. Chenille''s eyes in the car were very shocked, and Mona was speechless. Why did she feel that Luo An was very skilled in kidnapping? Look!


    Half an hour later, at the beach a few kilometers south of the port where the crime occurred, the snakehead cousin slowly woke up with the familiar sea breeze blowing.


    As soon as he opened his eyes, the snakehead cousin saw a man and two women wearing black hoods not far away, digging holes on the beach with tools.


    "woke up?"


    ??The snakehead cousin''s eyes widened immediately. Luo An, who was wearing a hood, laughed when he saw the other person''s performance. He took out the rag from the other person''s mouth and asked:


    ��I ask and you answer, otherwise you go to sleep in that pit. Is there any problem?��


    ��Fu-k!��


    The rag from his mouth was taken out, and the snakehead cousin suddenly cursed:


    ��Do you know who I am? Damn it...�� ????Bang��


    Luo An didn��t talk nonsense. He hit the snake-headed cousin **** the head with his pistol, then held the gun against the snake-headed cousin and asked:


    ��I��m asking, Q&A, for the last time, do you have any questions?��


    ����


    ??Seeing the pistol with the safety on in Luo An''s hand, the snake-headed cousin nodded with a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead. Then he thought of something and quickly shook his head wildly.


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An took back his pistol and asked directly:


    ��What happened on the day your cousin died?��


    Hearing Luo An��s question, the snakehead cousin let out a sigh of relief and quickly answered:


    ��My cousin received an order that day, and the person asked to leave the Federation and go to the Bahamas as quickly as possible.


    My cousin was resting at the time and had no intention of agreeing, but the other party gave him too much..."


    After listening to the smuggler��s cousin��s account, Luo An took out a photo of Jasper from his pocket and asked:


    ��Is he the one who is looking for your cousin?��


    "have no idea."


    ?The snakehead cousin shook his head. He didn��t go with him that day, and he didn��t see the other person��s face. He didn��t know who the big customer was.


    ��However, when a gun battle broke out later, my cousin called me for help and said that the group of people were wearing body armor, holding rifles, and were well-trained..."


    After hearing how powerful the enemy was described by his cousin on the phone, the smuggler cousin immediately... hung up the phone and did not dare to rescue anyone.


    ??Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, and the enemy''s equipment and clothing described by his cousin were exactly the same as the bald man and others they met in the abandoned industrial park before, so the person looking for the smuggler was most likely Jasper.


    ?After a few seconds of silence, Luo An then asked:


    ��Where is your cousin��s boat? Can you find it?��


    ��Has been driven to the Bahamas!��


    ??The smuggler''s cousin said that his acquaintances in the Bahamas saw his cousin''s boat, but not his cousin, and called him to inquire about it.


    "very good."


    ??Luo An nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand slightly. The three Winslows not far away immediately stopped digging the hole. The snakehead cousin let out a sigh of relief when he saw this.


    Without waiting for the snakehead cousin to speak, Luo An shook the pistol in his hand and asked with a smile:


    ��Two final questions: How long does it take to get to the Bahamas from here? And, where is your ship?��


    Snakehead cousin: ������


    ����


    The Bahamas, an island country located on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, has 31 districts and 19 island groups. It is the richest country in the Caribbean. Its per capita GDP is second only to the Commonwealth and Canada in the Western Hemisphere. It is a world-renowned tourist destination.


    From Florida to the Bahamas, the straight-line distance is about 80 kilometers, and it only takes half an hour by plane.


    Let Trick Kennedy''s people take away the smuggler''s cousin secretly. The four of Luo An borrowed the smuggler''s cousin''s boat and left the federation in a few hours and arrived at a major island in the Bahamas.


    ?Stepping off the boat, Winslow looked at the sparkling ocean behind him and said speechlessly:


    ��I never thought that when I came to the Bahamas, it would be for work.��


    ��After you finish this case, you will have a chance to fly here during your vacation.��


    ??Luo An smiled and patted Winslow on the shoulder, and then took the three of them to find the acquaintance that the snakehead cousin mentioned before.


    ?The other party has been in the Bahamas for many years, and there is a high probability that he will be able to find Jasper.


    At this moment, Mona, who had been busy typing on the computer keyboard with her head down, suddenly changed her face slightly and said aloud:


    ��Wait a minute, everyone, it seems we don��t have to look for the snakehead��s cousin��s acquaintances.��


    Luo An quickly moved to her side and asked:


    ��Have you found Jasper?��


    ��Not just Jasper, I��ve found someone else.��


    ??Mona turned the computer screen, showed a photo of a person to Luo An, and said:


    ��Our agent Alex, who disappeared at the dock where the crime occurred, is also in the Bahamas!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 522： Chasing party, new forces, islands

    Chapter 522: Pursuing Party, New Force, Island


    The Bahamas, a major island.


    ?Hearing Mona''s words, Roan, Winslow and Chenelle immediately turned their eyes to her computer screen, and sure enough they saw the photos of Agent Alex and Jasper on it.


    Chenelle opened her mouth but did not speak. Mona saw this and said in confusion:


    ��Chanelle, what do you want to say?��


    "Forehead��"


    ?Seeing that Winslow and Luo An both turned their eyes to her, Chenelle showed an awkward smile on her face and whispered:


    ��I don��t mean anything else, I��m just curious as to why Mona, you can always use the computer to find people so accurately.��


    ?Mona rolled her eyes speechlessly, turned to the computer screen, and explained:


    ��It��s easy to find Jasper and Alex.


    ?Since they arrived in the Bahamas, gun battles have occurred one after another on these islands, and their information naturally appeared in the Bahamas police system. "


    Mona said that in the third hour after Alex and Jasper arrived in the Bahamas, a group of pursuers dressed like the previous bald men arrived in the Bahamas.


    ??The pursuers quickly found Alex and Jasper, and there was a gun battle between the two sides. There were many pursuers, but the two had no fight and were easily captured by the pursuers.


    At the end of the battle between the two sides, when the Bahamas police were about to come out to clear the ground, a new group of equally well-equipped forces suddenly appeared and fought with the pursuers who had captured Alex and Jasper.


    ??The pursuers were caught off guard, fought and retreated, and are now blocked by new forces on a small island in the Bahamas.


    As for the Bahamas police, a big shot above issued an order for unknown reasons, so they did not intervene with force and are currently waiting for the fighting to end on other islands.


    ������x3


    After listening to Mona��s narration, Luo An and the other two fell silent, not knowing what to say.


    Chenelle apologized to Mona in a low voice. Mona waved her hand and said it was okay. Winslow looked at Roan and asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    Luo An was silent for a few seconds and asked:


    ��Mona, can you find out the number of pursuers and new forces?��


    ��Before landing on the island, the number of pursuers was about 10, and the number of new forces was about 18.��


    ?Mona typed on the keyboard a few times, raised her head and replied:


    ��However, the island has lush vegetation and complex terrain, and some big figures on it have not spoken. The Bahamas police have never landed on the island, and they don��t know how many people are still inside.��


    Winslow��s eyes were burning, and he thought of something:


    ��Luo An, what do you mean...?��


    ?Luo An replied:


    ��Call the headquarters for help, and then go to the island to arrest people.��


    Chenelle next to her thought for a few seconds and said:


    ��If we land on the island as a third party, I��m afraid it will trigger a joint attack by two waves of forces on the island.��


    ��So before we go to the island, we need to disguise our identities.��


    ??Roan grinned, took out his cell phone and called Trick Kennedy.


    ����


    The Bahamas is located opposite the southeast coast of the federal state of Florida and northeast of Cuba. The country consists of more than 700 islands, of which only more than 20 islands are inhabited.


    Because it is so close to the federation, the U.S. dollar has directly become the common currency of The Bahamas, and the economy relies almost entirely on the single pillar of tourism.


    ??? After receiving Luo An''s call, Trick Kennedy, who was arguing with someone at the FBI headquarters in Washington, did not hesitate. He immediately stopped the quarrel and walked out of the room, took out another phone and called some people.


    In less than an hour, the four of Luo An met a 7-man team sent by Trick Kennedy.


    The captain of the seven-man team was a middle-aged white man with a beard. He grinned widely and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Luo An:


    ��Hello, I am the captain of this team, just call me John.��


    ��Just call me Luo An.��


    Luo An stretched out his hand to shake hands with the opponent, and the three Winslows took the weapons and ammunition from the opponent''s team members. Because of Luo An''s request, most of the equipment they took was the same model as the group of pursuers on the island. .


    ??After confirming that Luo An and the four had obtained weapons and equipment, Trick Kennedy said seriously on the phone:


    ��Luo An, this team is temporarily under your command.


    In addition, I have sent people from the Federation to the Bahamas to support you. They will arrive in three hours. You must be careful during this trip! "


    ��OK.��?????? Luo An briefly chatted with the other party and then hung up the phone. Captain John had received Kennedy''s order before coming here. Seeing this, Luo An did not waste time and directly talked about his plan to land on the island:


    "Mona, after landing on the island, you can find a way to access the pursuer''s contact channel. We will pretend to be the previous team of bald men and attack from both sides to defeat the new forces. Then we will defeat the pursuer and capture Alex. With Jasper.��


    ?Mona nodded heavily and agreed. Captain John frowned slightly and asked:


    ��Leader Luo An, why don��t we wait until the fighting between the two parties on the island ends before we go up to arrest people?��


    Roan glanced at Captain John and explained while arranging his weapons:


    ��First, 5 hours have passed since the pursuers and new forces landed on the island. During this time, it is impossible for both parties to stay on the island. They will definitely fight, so the number of people will definitely decrease.


    Second, the island is not small, and there are many ships on both sides. We only have such a small number of people, and it is impossible to disperse and guard the entire island. The battle between the two sides is over, and the winner takes Alex and Jasper away. We There is a high probability that it will not be discovered immediately.


    ?This is not far from Cuba, and it is not difficult to escape to Mexico. We cannot pursue them all the way to Cuba and Mexico.


    Thirdly, the Bahamas police have not taken action because of the big shots above. I suspect that the person who contacted the big shots is probably the boss behind both sides of the fighting on the island.


    If the fighting on the island continues, the boss will most likely increase his manpower. By then there will be more enemies on the island, and we will only become more passive. "


    Putting the loaded magazine into the firearm, a clear sound rang out, and Luo An looked up at Captain John:


    "Any question?"


    Captain John grinned and shook his head:


    ��Team Leader Luo An��s analysis is very reasonable, I have no problem.��


    ��Good.��


    ? Luo An stuffed the smoke bombs and grenades into his waist and waved his hand:


    "Set off!"


    As soon as the words fell, the 11 people automatically divided into two teams and drove two speedboats to the target island.


    ??The process of sailing the boat was very smooth, without encountering any blows. The group successfully boarded the island and walked into the jungle. They stopped and looked around. Luo An looked at Mona and asked:


    ��How is the channel? Can you connect to the chasing side?��


    "I''m trying."


    ??Mona frowned and quickly operated the computer and communication equipment. At this moment, gunfire suddenly came from not far away, and then the voice of Captain John''s team member rang through the communicator in everyone''s ears:


    ��The enemy has been discovered! The enemy has also discovered us!��


    ��Attack!��


    Luo An didn''t waste any time and immediately asked the team members to start attacking the enemy. Then he asked Chenier to stay to protect Mona and let Mona continue to work hard. Then, together with Winslow, Captain John and others, they quickly rushed into the deep jungle with guns. at.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ��Enemy attack! Enemy����


    Following Luo An''s order, fierce firefights immediately sounded on the southwest side of the island. Captain John''s team members worked together to kill two enemies. Winslow raised his hand and shot another enemy who was trying to contact. Captain John appreciated it. I glanced at him:


    ��Good marksmanship.��


    "Um."


    Winslow nodded expressionlessly, then walked to Luo An, who was inspecting the body, and asked:


    ��Team leader?��


    ��These three enemies are the new forces that Mona mentioned before.��


    Luo An stood up from the corpse, looked up into the distance where sporadic firefights were heard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:


    ��In addition, the equipment of this group of people looks familiar.��


    Winslow was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered something and his eyes widened.


    At this moment, the crazy warning of "emotional perception" in his mind made Luo An''s face change. He pushed Winslow down with force and shouted:


    ��Everyone! Get down!��


    ?The next second, a penetrating crater suddenly appeared in the tree behind where Luo An and Winslow were standing!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 523： Battle on the island, third party?

    Chapter 523 Battle on the island, third party?


    ��Sniper! There is a sniper!��


    ��Take cover! Take cover!��


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Captain John and others were stunned for a moment. They didn��t react until they saw the trees being penetrated by bullets, and quickly bent down to find cover.


    ��He��s on the south side!��


    ??Looking at the craters in the trees, Luo An immediately judged the direction of the sniper, and then shouted an order:


    ��I��ll deal with the sniper! You continue to move forward and deal with the enemy, I��ll be right back!��


    As soon as he finished speaking, Luo An rushed toward the area where the sniper was like a cheetah.


    ��Leader Luo An! Luo An��Fu-k!��


    ??Seeing Luo An disappearing in the blink of an eye, Captain John''s eyes suddenly widened with urgency. He loudly ordered his team members to follow Luo An''s orders and continue moving forward. Then he quickly got up and chased after Luo An''s back.


    At the same time, seeing Luo An running towards him quickly, the sniper flashed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He changed his position and raised his gun to aim at Luo An. He took a deep breath for a few seconds and pulled the trigger fiercely.


    boom!


    ?The gunfire sounded, and the next second, in the sniper''s shocked eyes, Luo An seemed to know that he had fired, and took a step to the right in advance to avoid the bullet.


    "impossible!"


    The sniper''s expression froze and his pupils shrank suddenly, with disbelief written all over his face. On the other side, Captain John, who saw the scene just now, was even more shocked than him. His scalp felt numb. He had no idea how Luo An managed to avoid the bullet. Bullets.


    "Got you."


    ?Feeling the new direction of the bullet flying, Luo An immediately located the opponent with the "emotional perception" in his mind. He grinned with a sunny smile on his face, and quickly rushed towards the sniper in a flash.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??Seeing the cruel smile on Luo An''s face, the sniper was shocked by the scene just now. He reacted and quickly moved the muzzle to prepare to continue attacking Luo An.


    But at this time, under Captain John''s unbelievable gaze, Luo An moved in front of the sniper at a very fast speed, then grabbed the muzzle of the sniper''s pistol with his left hand and raised it up, and hit the sniper''s Adam''s apple with the palm of his right hand. .


    score


    There was a muffled sound, and the sniper who was hit hard in the throat had red eyes. Uncontrollably, he let go of the hand holding the gun and turned to cover his neck. He breathed heavily and fell backwards to the ground.


    ??Luo An took advantage of the situation and knocked the sniper unconscious with one punch. He tore off the opponent''s clothes and **** the sniper''s hands and feet. By the time Captain John ran here, the sniper had been completely controlled by Luo An.


    ��He will leave it to you.��


    Picking up the AR-15 with a high-power scope that belonged to the sniper on the ground, and taking the remaining bullets from the sniper, Luo An smiled and patted Captain John on the shoulder, then turned around and quickly went to Winslow and others. The direction in which people move forward.


    Looking at the sniper on the ground, and then looking up at the back of Luo An who disappeared again, Captain John was breathing heavily, his lips were trembling, and he had no idea what to say.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    On the other side, Winslow and the other 6 members of Captain John''s team have begun to engage in firefights with 10 new enemies.


    In the direction behind the new forces, the remaining five pursuers also started to counterattack frantically because there was a cliff with no way to retreat behind them.


    ??However, the enemies of the new force were in a slightly higher position and had a terrain advantage. Even though there were enemies in front and behind them, not only were they not seriously injured for a while, but they suppressed the pursuers, Winslow and others.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    A burst of bullets swept through, and Winslow and others were forced to lower their heads. After cursing, he took out the grenade and said loudly:


    ��Throw a grenade!��


    ??Captain John''s team members agreed in unison, threw the grenade and exploded with a bang. However, because they were hit by bullets and could not see the specific position of the opponent, this wave of grenades did not achieve the desired effect.


    Winslow cursed a few more times. At this moment, Luo An��s voice suddenly sounded from the communicator in his ear:


    ��Wait for me to shoot first, and then you guys will throw grenades.��


    Winslow, who was weighed down by the bullet and couldn''t lift his head, didn''t hear clearly. He was stunned and asked:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    boom!


    The next second, a gunshot came from not far away. An enemy of the new force fell to the ground with a red bullet hole on his forehead.


    ��Sniper����


    boom!


    The people next to him shrank their pupils when they saw the miserable condition of his teammates. Just as he started to shout, another gunshot rang out. He was also shot in the forehead and fell backwards and fell to the ground.


    boom!


    boom!


    boom!


    There were three more gunshots, and three enemies of the new force fell to the ground. Only then did the remaining five people react and hurriedly put their heads behind the obstacle.


    Winslow also understood what Luo An said at this time, grinned and said loudly:


    ��Grenade!�� ???Boom! boom! boom!


    No longer being hit by bullets, Winslow and others saw the enemy''s position clearly this time before throwing grenades. Several explosions sounded. The enemies of the new force immediately lost their combat effectiveness and were captured by Winslow and others.


    The remaining five people on the pursuing side saw that Winslow and others had mostly the same equipment as themselves. They looked at each other and did not attack immediately. They asked loudly who Winslow and others were.


    A strange look flashed in Winslow''s eyes, and he answered according to Luo An''s previous teaching:


    ��We are teammates of O��Malion, who were previously responsible for hunting down the Chicago Special Investigations Unit!��


    ?The air was silent for a few seconds, and then the other party pulled the trigger on Winslow and others again.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    "damn it!"


    Winslow and the others hurriedly hid and cursed a few times in a low voice, wondering where the flaw was.


    boom!


    Familiar gunfire sounded from behind again, and an enemy was shot in the forehead and fell to the ground. Winslow grinned and took out the grenade again.


    Boom! boom! boom!


    ?Several explosions sounded, and the pursuing troops also lost their combat effectiveness.


    A few minutes later, under the admiring gazes of John''s team members, Luo An slowly walked from a distance holding the AR-15 rifle with a magnifier that he had just captured.


    ?At this time, Winslow and Captain John''s team members had found Alex and Jasper with their hands tied.


    ��Good morning, Agent Alex.��


    Roan handed the rifle to Winslow, looked at Alex who had a lot of dust on his face, and said with a smile:


    ��I heard from the Chicago Special Investigation Team detectives that you died on the dock that day. I didn��t expect that you were still alive and seemed to be doing well.��


    A strange color flashed in Alex''s eyes. He took a deep breath and was about to speak. Roan picked up a rag and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he looked at Jasper aside and said:


    ��Good morning, Mr. Jasper, it��s not easy to find you all the way.��


    Jasper sighed and asked:


    "Who are you?"


    ��You probably haven��t heard of my name, so I won��t introduce it.��


    ??Luo An waved his hand, and just as he was about to have someone take them away, Winslow suddenly came over with a man.


    ?Seeing the man''s face clearly, a trace of surprise flashed in Luo An''s eyes, and then it became clear. Alex''s face was full of displeasure, and Jasper was extremely shocked and asked:


    ��Hamilton? Why are you here!?��


    ??The man was none other than the arms dealer Hamilton, who was the object of the transaction on the dock that day by the Chicago Special Investigation Team and others.


    Hearing the name Hamilton, the two captured pursuers were even more surprised before Hamilton himself could speak:


    "boss?"


    Hearing the words of the two pursuers, Hamilton, whose face was filled with dust, suddenly cursed:


    ��Motherfu-ker! I��m not your boss!��


    ?Looking at Hamilton who was so angry that his body was shaking, Winslow, Captain John''s team members, Alex, Jasper and others were filled with doubts. Jasper was the first to ask:


    "what is going on?"


    Jasper, who was captured by the pursuers, always thought that the pursuers were sent by Hamilton.


    Alex had the same idea, because the pursuers kept saying that their boss Hamilton wanted to see the two of them.


    "how could I know?!"


    ?Hamilton, who had been injured by a grenade and had a wound on his leg, inhaled repeatedly and exhaled fragrance while saying that he came to the Bahamas along with the group of people who were chasing Alex and Jasper.


    The new force mentioned by Luo An and others is him and his men.


    Luo An, who was next to him, was silent for a long time, his mind spinning rapidly. Suddenly he clapped his hands and attracted everyone''s attention, and said:


    ��Is there a possibility that there is a third party among you.


    ?This third party is the boss of the pursuers, but this boss uses the name "Hamilton" to give orders to the pursuers to capture Alex and Jasper.


    At the dock, a third party force suddenly appeared and wanted to kill everyone. This was also the order given by the fake "Hamilton". "


    Hearing Luo An''s words, the group of people became even more confused. Hamilton himself and Jasper looked at each other as if they had thought of something, and they frowned and fell into deep thought.


    At this moment, Cheniel suddenly ran over and said with a serious face:


    ��Luo An, Mona just connected to the pursuer��s communication equipment, and there is information showing that more than fifty enemies are about to land on the island!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 524： Luo An: Timid, afraid of shaking hands, so I have to pay more

    Chapter 524 Luo An: Timid, afraid of shaking hands, so I have to pay more


    The Bahamas, an uninhabited... usually uninhabited island.


    ?Hearing Chenier''s words, Winslow''s expression changed. He turned around and grabbed the two pursuers who had just been captured, and asked:


    ��Are those fifty or so enemies yours?��


    "certainly!"


    One of the pursuers with some blood on his face nodded.


    He then said that the reason why they quickly judged that the identities of Winslow and others were fake was because their boss had sent them this news not long ago.


    ?As long as they persist for a while, as soon as these fifty or so teammates arrive, it will be time for them to counterattack Hamilton and the others, which is the moment when Luo An and others call them the "new forces."


    ��Fu-k!��


    Winslow''s face was very ugly, and the others frowned and all turned their attention to Luo An.


    Luo An did not hesitate, immediately stood up and said:


    ��Retreat! Let��s leave this island as quickly as possible!��


    "clear!"


    Everyone agreed with a loud voice, and Winslow, Chenille, and Captain John''s team members quickly escorted the prisoners to the edge of the island.


    But before everyone had gone far, Mona''s urgent voice suddenly sounded in the communicator, indicating that more than a dozen speedboats had appeared in the waters around the island, all loaded with enemies, and were speeding towards the island. !


    When everyone heard the news, their faces instantly darkened.


    They were still a long way from the edge of the island. Judging from the speed of the enemies, when a dozen of them moved to the edge of the island at the fastest speed, they were face to face with more than fifty heavily armed enemies.


    ��Turn around and go back to where we were!��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he immediately ordered everyone to return to the battlefield.


    Hamilton and others were in a good position just now, which was very suitable for building a defensive position. As long as they blocked the nearby commanding heights, a dozen of them would be able to fight even if they faced more than fifty enemies.


    "clear!"


    After hearing this, everyone quickly turned around and walked back. Luo An pressed the contact device and asked Mona and Captain John to come to the area where they were. Winslow led Captain John''s team members to sort out their weapons and equipment, build a defensive position, and then He pulled Jasper and Hamilton to the side.


    ��No more nonsense, the current situation is obvious, those fifty or so enemies are coming for you.��


    ??Arms dealer Hamilton and criminal group leader Jasper sat down on the ground. Luo An crossed his arms on his chest, looked at the two expressionlessly, and said:


    ��When I mentioned that there might be a third party just now, both of your expressions changed. It seems that you thought of the suspicious guy, right?��


    ?Hamilton, Jasper, Roan and others are now grasshoppers on a rope. They were silent for a while. The two looked at each other. Hamilton first asked:


    ��I suspect it��s Harrison, where are you?��


    Jasper frowned slightly:


    ��I suspect it��s Hector.��


    The two guessed several different people in succession. Luo An stood aside in silence for a few seconds, briefly recounted the death information of Minister Alexander, and said:


    ��Don��t just think about the people with whom you have conflicts, think about the other party, as well as Minister Alexander, the people who have conflicts with the three of you!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Hearing Roan''s words, Hamilton and Jasper thought for a moment. The former suddenly became angry, and the latter turned pale, looked at each other, and said a name in unison:


    ��Herrick!��


    At this time, Mona arrived here with the help of Cheniel, and Roan asked:


    ��What does this Herrick do?��


    Arms dealer Hamilton sneered and replied:


    ��He is my companion.��


    ��He has conflicts with you, with Jasper, and with Minister Alexander?��


    ��That��s right!��


    Hamilton and Jasper nodded heavily. This was the only common enemy they could think of at the moment.


    Luo An rubbed his temples. The situation was a bit urgent now. He did not ask what the specific contradictions were. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked:


    ��Do you two have Herreke��s contact information?��


    Hamilton and Jasper didn''t know why, but they nodded.


    ��Then call him!��


    Roan waved his hand and motioned for Chenelle to get him a mobile phone. Hamilton and Jasper looked puzzled, and Mona and Chenelle were also very puzzled:


    ��Luo An, what are you going to do?��


    Roanchenier pushed back the security phone handed over, took the most ordinary mobile phone from Mona''s hand, and gave it to Hamilton and Jasper. At the same time, she didn''t explain much, she just ordered:


    ��Mona, when they talk to Herric later, you can find a way to locate the other party��s location through the signal!��


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona''s eyes lit up as she thought of something, and she immediately started preparing computers and mechanical equipment according to Luo An''s order, with Cheniel helping her on the side.


    ?Hamilton and Jasper took the mobile phone and made a few calls to certain people. It didn''t take long before they contacted Herrick. A somewhat lazy middle-aged man''s voice sounded on the other end of the phone:


    ��Good morning, who are you?��


    "I am your father!"


    Hearing the other party''s voice, Hamilton was immediately furious. He cursed a lot of greetings to the other party''s family, and finally asked:


    ��Herrick! What the **** do you mean?��


    ��It��s nothing interesting, I just want you to have a chat with Jasper.��


    Halrick on the other end of the phone did not pretend to be stupid and admitted the matter directly. At the same time, he was not going to say anything to Hamilton and Jasper and was about to hang up the phone.


    Next to her, Mona was typing rapidly on the keyboard. When she heard the other party''s words, she suddenly became anxious because the call time was too short and she hadn''t found the other party yet.


    Upon seeing this, Luo An immediately grabbed the phone from Hamilton��s hand and said with a smile:


    ��Hello, Mr. Herrick.��


    ?At the other end of the phone, Herrick heard Luo An''s unfamiliar voice and was too lazy to respond and was about to hang up the phone.


    At this moment, Luo An narrowed his eyes and said coldly:


    ��Mr. Herrick, Hamilton and Jasper are in my hands now. If you hang up the phone, I will kill them!��


    ??Although it is not completely clear what Herrick''s real purpose is, the fact that the other party has spent so much effort to get Jasper into his hands is enough for Roan to judge that the other party absolutely does not want to see Jasper die.


    ����


    Hearing this, the other end of the phone fell silent. After a few seconds, a cold voice sounded on the phone:


    "Who are you?"


    ��I��m just a little snakehead.��


    ??Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and assumed the identity of the smuggler''s cousin before, saying that because his cousin was killed, he came to Jasper to seek justice.


    ??Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, I actually caught Hamilton and Jasper.


    ??Looking at Hamilton and Jasper, whose mouths were gagged by Chenier with rags, as well as the progress bar showing 40% progress on Mona''s computer, Luo An grinned and said:


    ��I heard from Mr. Hamilton that the fifty guys with guns outside the island are your people.


    But I am a bit timid. When I am scared, I like to kill two people to embolden myself, so Mr. Herrick, you see..."


    Luo An was not worried that his identity as the smuggler''s cousin would be revealed because the smuggler''s cousin was kidnapped by him before and then secretly taken away by Trick Kennedy''s people. Not many people knew about this. Carefully Investigations take time.


    Herrick, like Luo An and others, lacks time now.


    ?As expected, after hearing Luo An��s words, the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then the cold voice rang again:


    "What do you want?"


    ��It��s not what I want, it��s what you want, Mr. Herrick.��


    Seeing the 75% progress bar on the screen of Mona��s laptop, Luo An asked:


    ��Now the people outside this island are all yours. I am timid and very scared.��


    Halrick on the phone sneered and said:


    ��Well, then, give me Hamilton and Jasper, and I will let you and your men leave the island.��


    "Mr. Herrick, stop lying to children like this. Do you really not care about the lives of Hamilton and Jasper?"


    Hearing that Roan always used Hamilton and Jasper to threaten him in his words, Herric''s face turned deathly dark on the other end of the phone. He was silent for a few seconds and then said:


    ��Five million dollars, plus let you and your people leave the island, and you hand over Hamilton and Jasper to me.��


    Hearing this, Luo An took a deep breath and said with anger on his face:


    ��Mr. Herrick, I came to this island because of my dead cousin!


    That��s my cousin! My brothers and sisters! "


    Mr. Herrick on the other end of the phone sneered:


    "so what?"


    Luo An grinned:


    ��More money, I want 10 million US dollars.��


    ������xN


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 525： Bargaining, twenty minutes!

    Chapter 525: Bargaining, twenty minutes!


    Hearing Luo An''s words of "adding more money", Hamilton and Jasper rolled their eyes as their mouths were stuffed with rags.


    Captain John, who returned here with the prisoners, and Captain John''s team members all looked at Luo An blankly.


    ??Although they knew that Luo An was trying to make ends meet with the other party, they didn''t know if it was an illusion. They felt that team leader Luo An seemed to be very skilled in asking for money!


    ?Winslow hurriedly slapped everyone silently and then adjusted their positions. Mona and Chenelle didn''t care about Roan''s words. They were focused on looking at the 93% progress bar on the computer.


    Halrick on the other end of the phone heard Luo An announcing the figure of 10 million US dollars, and he laughed out loud:


    ��Do you think this number is possible?��


    Luo An walked to the rocks aside and saw the speedboats that had begun to land on the island in the distance. He narrowed his eyes and replied:


    ��The US$10 million is just my first offer, and Mr. Herrick can make a counteroffer.��


    ��Okay, $8 million.��


    "make a deal!"


    ����


    Hearing Luo An agree so quickly, Herrick suddenly choked.


    ?Taking a deep breath, he continued:


    ��You let them go, and I��ll pay you to let them go.��


    Luo An shook his head and refused:


    "Impossible, you finish the fight first and let us go, and we will let him go last."


    ��You can��t trust me?��


    ��No, it��s Mr. Herrick. You can��t believe me.��


    ����


    After Luo An finished speaking, the air was silent for a long time. Herrick on the other end of the phone snorted coldly and hung up the phone.


    ��The talks fell apart?��


    Winslow next to him saw this scene, his face changed slightly, and he asked:


    ��Herric isn��t afraid that we will kill Hamilton and Jasper?��


    ��From Herric��s point of view, we wouldn��t dare.��


    ?Luo An shook his head. He had pretended to be a snakehead just now, and Hamilton and Jasper were the only bargaining chips in his hand.


    ?From Herrick''s perspective, as long as Roan did not want to die in the hands of those fifty or so people, he would not dare to kill Hamilton and Jasper directly.


    Is a smuggler afraid of death? There is no doubt that he is afraid of death. Luo An''s sky-high asking price just now proves this.


    Halrick''s words just now were always a test. He realized and confirmed that Luo An was greedy for money and was afraid of death, so he dared to hang up the phone directly.


    ??However, Herrick was on the third floor and Roan was on the fifth floor. He smiled and patted Winslow on the shoulder. He walked to Mona and asked:


    "How about it?"


    ��Succeeded!��


    ??Mona and Cheniel''s faces were full of joy. Roan just delayed the time and allowed the two to successfully locate Herrick''s position:


    ��The other party is now on a major island in the Bahamas!��


    Winslow''s face suddenly became excited, and Roan''s expression remained unchanged. He had already guessed this possibility before. Herrick attached so much importance to Hamilton and Jasper that he sent more than fifty people to the island. He Naturally, there is a high probability that I will come to the Bahamas.


    After confirming the location of the other party, Luo An immediately took out his flip phone and called Trick Kennedy:


    ��Sir, I��ve got Jasper.��


    ?Trick Kennedy on the other end of the phone was suddenly surprised, but before a smile appeared on his face, he heard that Luo An and the others were currently surrounded by people.


    ��FU-K!��


    After listening to Luo An��s description, Trick Kennedy immediately slapped the table with eagerness on his face and stood up, saying anxiously:


    ��I will send people to that island to rescue you right away!��


    ��It��s too late, sir.��


    Looking at the enemies who had begun to enter the jungle not far away, Luo An briefly described the conversation he had just had with Herrick, as well as Herrick''s current location, and then said:


    ��Sir, didn��t you send a group of people to the Bahamas before? Let them capture Herrick!


    ??As long as we capture Herrick and force him to issue an order to terminate the operation, our side will become safe. �� ? ? ? ��ok, ok, ok! "


    ?Trick Kennedy nodded repeatedly, immediately picked up the landline phone next to him and called to inquire about the situation of the group of people. After a while, he quickly picked up the phone and said to Luo An:


    ��Luo An, the action team has arrived in the Bahamas, and the arrest operation is expected to take fifteen minutes! You must hold on for fifteen minutes!��


    "knew."


    ?Hang up the phone, Luo An looked at the position that had been dealt with by Captain John and others, shook his phone, and said loudly:


    ��Everyone, twenty minutes! We insist on twenty minutes!��


    Considering the possibility of unexpected situations, Luo An extended the time by five minutes.


    "no problem!"


    "clear!"


    After learning that the headquarters had sent support, Captain John and his team members were immediately boosted in morale.


    After a while, a team member guarded Hamilton, Jasper and other prisoners. Mona, Winslow and 4 team members, a total of 7 people, were squatting at the position. Roan, Chenier and Captain John were each squatting at the surrounding commanding heights. , prepare to join forces to face the enemy.


    There are 53 enemies in total. This is the news that Mona received in the message before. As time passes, more and more enemies slowly appear in front of everyone. Luo An immediately presses the communicator:


    ��Attack!��


    ?Bang bang bang��


    boom! boom! boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    After Luo An finished speaking, fierce gunshots and deafening explosions sounded instantly. Because the terrain was narrow and small, Winslow and others were in a higher position. Luo An and the other three had occupied the commanding heights, and Herrick''s men suddenly Was caught off guard.


    ��Left! Left!��


    ��Seize the high ground!��


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??Roan took the AR-15 rifle with a magnifying scope that he had captured previously. Under Captain John''s stunned eyes, he shot one enemy at a time and quickly eliminated four guys who were trying to seize the commanding heights.


    The first wave of enemies suffered heavy losses and immediately retreated upon discovering the situation. Winslow and others did not pursue, packed up their weapons and ammunition, and waited for the arrival of the second wave of enemies.


    Not long after, the enemy launched a second wave of offensive. Luo An killed an enemy with one shot. He frowned slightly and realized that something was not right. He immediately pressed the contact device and said:


    "Winslow, the number of enemies is wrong. Look back to see if there is anything going on on the cliff behind!"


    "clear!"


    Winslow quickly stood up and left the position and ran towards the cliff not far behind. After observing for a few seconds, his pupils suddenly shrank, he pressed the communicator and said urgently:


    ��Luo An, you are right! There are enemies under the cliff!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ?Hearing that the enemy was moving around to prepare for a sneak attack, everyone''s expressions suddenly changed. Their number was several times smaller than the opponent''s. If they divided their forces and went to the rear, the situation would only be worse.


    But if the troops are not divided, once the enemy successfully bypasses the enemy, they will not be able to escape.


    ��Leave it to me at the cliff!��


    ??Luo An calmly took out a bottle of [Stamina Potion] and a bottle of [Hemostatic Potion] and poured them into his stomach, then pressed the communicator and ordered Winslow to cover his commanding heights, and he went to deal with the enemies on the cliff.


    "But��"


    Winslow wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Luo An''s loud order, so he had to rush to the commanding heights. That position was also very important.


    ?The cliff behind everyone is not unreachable. On the contrary, as long as one enemy successfully climbs along the rocks to the top to block the attack, the others can all climb to the top along that path.


    Luo An quickly moved behind a big rock and saw that the bottom of the cliff had no vision due to several smoke bombs thrown by the enemy. He immediately grinned and turned on the "emotional perception" in his mind.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Three gunshots rang out, and the three enemies who were climbing in the thick smoke fell to the ground. The others were shocked when they saw this, and quickly moved to find cover, guessing loudly:


    ��Do the people up there have infrared equipment?��


    "how could I know?"


    ��Shoot! Suppress the opponent with fire!��


    Halrick''s group of men actually had no choice. The road ahead was firmly suppressed by Winslow and others, and they could not seize the commanding heights, so they had no choice but to go back.


    boom! boom! boom!


    More than a dozen enemies threw several smoke bombs again. While the team members climbed up, the others used guns and fire to suppress Luo An.


    What shocked them was that Luo An was obviously suppressed by them and was hiding behind the stone and could not show his head. But every time his teammates were about to climb to the top, a grenade would fly from behind the stone to the summiter with great accuracy. Exploded.


    ?The enemy couldn''t understand and was even more angry because there were more than a dozen of them, and they were dragged here by Luo An alone!


    At the same time, in the distance, on an island in the Bahamas, more than a dozen fully armed action team members were ready and rushed into a seaside villa with guns raised.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 526： Herrick was caught, unexpectedly, Luo An was alone

    Chapter 526: Herrick was captured, an unexpected incident occurred, and Luo An acted alone


    "What did you say?"


    ??In an office at the FBI headquarters in Washington, Trick Kennedy was holding a cell phone with an angry face.


    ?One minute ago, Captain Cyrus called the action team responsible for going to the villa to arrest Herrick, saying that they had captured the target Herrick.


    Before Trick Kennedy could be happy, Captain Cyrus then said that they could not pry open Helrick''s mouth. Helrick would not contact the fifty or so men on the island anyway, so that Those people stopped attacking Luo An and the others.


    ?Trick Kennedy said loudly with his mouth full of birdsong and flowers:


    ��Then take Herrick��s cell phone and call his men!��


    ��Sorry, sir, we have already tried this method and it didn��t work.��


    ??Looking at Herrick, who was sitting in a chair with a gun pointed at his head and looking at him with a smile, Captain Cyrus looked gloomy and said:


    ��The people who went to that island were Herric��s direct subordinates.


    Even if Herrick is captured, they will not stop their actions. Instead, they are preparing to capture Team Leader Luo An and others on the island, take them as hostages, and threaten us to release their boss. "


    ��****!��


    ?Trick Kennedy became even more angry when he heard this. The veins on his neck popped out, and he yelled loudly with his mobile phone:


    ��Then leave a few people to guard Herrick, and you and the other team members will go to the island to rescue people!��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    ??Regarding Trick Kennedy''s anger on the phone, Captain Cyrus'' expression remained unchanged. He agreed and then asked:


    ��Who is the main target of the rescue?��


    "What''s the meaning?"


    ?Trick Kennedy was stunned for a moment. Captain Cyrus ordered his men to set off quickly while explaining to his cell phone that there were currently two important targets on the island.


    One is the leader of Roan Greenwood, and the other is Jasper, the leader of the criminal group.


    ?Captain Cyrus certainly wants to save both, but any situation is possible during the operation, so he must prepare for the worst in advance.


    ?Trick Kennedy understood the subtext of Captain Cyrus��s words. After a moment of silence, Trick Kennedy said in a deep voice:


    ��Save Captain Roan Greenwood! Put him first! We must save him!��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    ?Captain Cyrus nodded, hung up the phone, and got on the speedboat with his team members, and immediately drove towards the island.


    ?Trick Kennedy hung up Captain Cyrus��s contact information and immediately called Roan again.


    Island, behind a certain stone above the cliff.


    ??Luo An pressed the answer button on his mobile phone and after listening to Trick Kennedy''s narration, his expression remained unchanged. He pondered for a few seconds and asked:


    ��Captain Cyrus, how long will it take for them to reach this island?��


    ��About fifteen minutes!��


    ��It��s too late.��


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly. Winslow and others had successfully killed more than a dozen enemies in the front position, but several team members were also injured inside the position.


    There are still more than 20 enemies outside the position, and there are still 13 enemies under his cliff. Wait another fifteen minutes, and there is no telling what the situation will be like.


    ?Handing Captain Cyrus��s contact information to Roan, Trick Kennedy took a deep breath and continued:


    "Luo An, if the situation is unfavorable, you will surrender to the opponent with your men!"


    ?Trick Kennedy has prepared for the worst. If it doesn''t work out, he will let Roan and others surrender and be captured, and then ask Captain Cyrus to trade Herrick with the enemies in exchange for Roan and the others.


    ����


    ?Luo An''s eyelids twitched and he threw this suggestion out of the window.


    You cannot reason with a lion when it bites your head.


    After hanging up the phone from Trick Kennedy, Roan then called Captain Cyrus.


    Captain Cyrus was outspoken and stated his rescue order clearly. Luo An stressed several times that he asked the other party to rescue Winslow, Mona and others first, but failed. In desperation, Luo An had no choice but to describe the situation on the island. Lie that he is at the position.


    Hang up Captain Cyrus'' call, Luo An was just about to continue attacking the enemies on the cliff, when he suddenly found that they began to retreat away from the area.


    Luo An frowned. If these 13 enemies moved to the position, the pressure on Winslow and others would increase instantly. They already had wounded people. If the commanding heights were robbed and the defense line was breached, all the previous efforts would be in vain. .


    Roan did not believe that this group of enemies would treat Winslow, Mona, Chenelle and Captain John well.


    ?After thinking about it, the 13 enemies under the cliff chose to evacuate at this time. They might also be planning to lure the snake out of the hole, lure Luo An to the bait, kill him, and then climb the cliff for a sneak attack. There are two possibilities. Luo An pondered for a moment, pressed the communicator, and told Winslow alone how long it would take for Captain Cyrus and others to arrive, as well as the sudden evacuation of the enemy under the cliff.


    Knowing that Luo An was going to go down the cliff to chase the 13 enemies to relieve the pressure on their position, Winslow looked at the more and more injured teammates in the position. Chenier and Mo were unable to lift their heads under the pressure of bullets. Na, and the enemies who were getting closer and closer to the position in the distance, his face was ashen and he said in a deep voice:


    "clear."


    ��Well, don��t tell Mona yet.��


    ����


    Without waiting for Windslo to answer, Luo An hung the linker and removed the equipment from his ears into his pocket.


    ?At the position, when he heard the busy tone in the communication device next to his ear, Winslow let out a long breath, his eyes blazing with rage, he stood up, aimed at the head of an enemy, and pulled the trigger fiercely.


    At the cliff, behind the stone, Luo An took out [Analgesic Potion], [Swift Potion], [Strength Potion] and [Featherfall Potion] and drank them all in one gulp, then took out two smoke bombs and threw them towards the cliff. The moment the smoke filled the air. , he flew directly and jumped off the cliff!


    In the woods below the cliff, several hidden enemies looked at each other in shock when they saw someone jumping directly off the cliff without any ropes or other items.


    ��Is this...suicide?��


    ��It looks like it is.��


    ��So, our plan worked?��


    ��Should...should be.��


    ?The people looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other''s eyes.


    Their plan was the same as what Luo An had imagined before, which was to pretend to evacuate here and go to the front to support the position, but in fact lured Luo An to take the bait.


    Since Luo An was dead, several enemies no longer hesitated, and immediately took out their communicators and prepared to tell the captain and others hidden behind about the situation here, so that they could start taking action.


    ��It really made me laugh to death.��


    ?An enemy liaison captain, and the remaining three enemies gathered together with smiles on their faces:


    ��I really didn��t expect that the man on the cliff would jump right off!��


    "Indeed, I didn''t expect it either. I just didn''t see clearly whether the person was a man or a woman. If it was a woman..."


    ��Why, are you still planning to commit suicide?��


    ��It��s not impossible.��


    ��You are so perverted!��Add me when the time comes.��


    ��What if it is a man? ��


    ��As a man, you can actually...��


    Hearing someone asking about male gender, an enemy subconsciously answered. After saying this, he suddenly realized something was wrong because the voice was so unfamiliar!


    The hairs on the hair of the three enemies stood on end instantly, and they quickly turned their guns to the direction of the sound.


    ����


    ?The next second, a dazzling white light flashed in the eyes of the three people, and no gunshots were fired. The three people lay on the ground holding their bleeding necks.


    ?Seeing the unfamiliar Luo An holding a dagger, he silently walked towards their teammate who was responsible for contacting the captain. The three of them had anxious faces and their bodies twitched. They kept making "ho ho" sounds but were unable to do anything. In the end, they completely lost their breath.


    ��Captain, the plan has been successful. The man on the cliff jumped directly... I don��t know the reason... OK, I��ll wait for you.��


    ?Hang up the contact, the enemy grinned and turned to look at his teammates behind him:


    ��Everyone, the captain will be here soon����


    ����


    A dazzling light flashed in his eyes, and a pain suddenly came from his neck.


    The smile on Luo An''s face was extremely bright. He held the enemy''s hand and helped him cover the wound. He slowly lowered the frightened opponent to the ground, gently took away the opponent''s gun, and said with a smile:


    "Your captain and others will be here soon. I have heard the news. Thank you for your hard work."


    Seeing Luo An in front of him, the liaison enemy''s eyes widened, and the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost.


    From the corner of his eye, he stared at his three teammates. He wanted to say something, but his throat was cut open and blood poured back into him. Apart from the sound of "ho...ho...", he couldn''t say anything. In the end, he could only say something. Can look at the sunny smile on Luo An''s face and lose his breath in despair.


    ��13 people, 4 died, 9 are left.��


    ?? After sitting the four corpses upright together, Luo An took out a grenade and made two booby traps that exploded when touched. Then he put away the weapon and slowly walked into the woods not far away.

 Chapter 527： Luo An 1 versus 13, everyone was angry and shocked

    Chapter 527: Luo An 1 versus 13, everyone was angry and shocked


    ��Forward! Forward!��


    ��The other side of the cliff has been successful!��


    ??The leader of the team in charge of the cliff led the eight team members at full speed through the woods, and soon arrived at the location of the four communicators.


    ��Climb the cliff!��


    The captain waved his hand, and several team members quickly took ropes and other items to prepare for rock climbing. While others were responsible for guarding the surroundings, two team members moved to the four communicators and stretched out their hands to slap them:


    ��Hey, you guys...��


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The body was triggered by a booby trap, and the two of them disappeared in the explosion without even reacting.


    ��Alert!��


    ��Fu-k!��


    "what happened?"


    ??The remaining enemies were startled and quickly got up from the ground to alert the surroundings. Looking at the corpses of the six men on the ground like tattered dolls, the team leader''s face was gloomy. After a few seconds of silence, he said loudly:


    ��Those who are alive, report their numbers!��


    "1!"


    "2!"


    When the number read "5", there was no further explanation, and everyone''s expressions suddenly changed.


    6 out of 13 people died. Including the captain, there should have been 7 people left. The number should be "6".


    ?A few people quickly observed the teammates around them, and as expected, another familiar face was missing.


    ��Damn it! When did he disappear?��


    "I did not see it!"


    ��Who are the enemies? Where are they?��


    ??The remaining five team members were dominated by panic and hurriedly gathered together back to back, holding up their rifles and carefully observing the surroundings.


    ??The team leader had a bead of sweat on his forehead, raised his rifle and ordered:


    ��Work in pairs and search carefully!��


    "clear!"


    ?The six people were divided into three groups back to back, carrying rifles and entering the jungle to search carefully. Suddenly, the group on the far left saw Luo An squatting in the grass handling the body, and his face was filled with excitement.


    But when the two saw Luo An, Luo An also saw them. His movements were much faster than the two enemies. When the two turned their guns, Luo An had already pulled the trigger.


    boom! boom!


    The two enemies were shot in the middle of their eyebrows, and their bodies went limp and fell to the ground.


    ��The enemy is here!��


    ?Bang bang bang��


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??The sound of gunfire as Luo An killed two enemies immediately attracted the attention of the remaining four people. They immediately raised their guns and fired bullets at Luo An''s position.


    ??Luo An reacted quickly and got up to run away, but the enemy fired too many bullets in an instant, and he was hit in the left calf by one of the bullets.


    ��I hit him!��


    ?One of them was filled with excitement when he saw this scene, and he and his teammates rushed forward to arrest Luo An. However, the two of them walked past a big tree and opened the grass, but they did not find Luo An at all.


    "what happened?"


    ��Where are the people?��


    ��I''m here. ��


    Behind the big tree beside the two of them, Luo An stepped out and answered their questions. In the eyes of the two of them, whose hairs were rising and full of fear, Luo An grinned, raised his weapon and pulled the trigger.


    boom!


    A bullet was shot from the muzzle of the gun and passed through the heads of two enemies from the side, splattering out two dazzling sprays of blood.


    ??Two more enemies were killed. The remaining team leader and one team member ran here. Seeing this scene, they did not hesitate, aimed directly at Luo An''s position and pulled the trigger crazily.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ?Countless bullets were fired one after another, the grass was instantly smashed, and there were a lot of bullet holes in the trees.


    Under the unbelievable gazes of the captain and team members, Luo An directly grabbed the enemy who had just been killed. While hiding behind a tree to avoid the rain of bullets, he used the corpse to block the bullet for himself, and then violently pushed the two corpses toward the captain and team members. The team member threw it.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??The captain and team members were shocked by Luo An''s strength. While cursing, they quickly stopped shooting and ducked sideways. Taking this opportunity, Luo An''s figure quickly moved to the two of them like a ghost, directly raised his weapon and killed the team members.


    ??The remaining team leader reacted quickly. When Luo An killed the team member, he immediately flew to the distance to avoid Luo An''s bullets, and took out a grenade and threw it at Luo An.


    Boom!


    ?The grenade exploded. Luo An used the "emotional perception" in his mind to dodge first, and moved to the captain''s side with a stunned expression on his face.


    icular


    ??The captain made a sneak attack and grabbed Luo An''s rifle and threw it aside. Luo An took the opportunity to remove the rifle, pistol and dagger from the opponent. After dodging the dagger stabbed at his throat, the captain with his empty hand cursed, quickly turned over and took the opportunity to pick up a wooden stick as a counterattack.


    ??Luo An dodged the wooden stick and kicked the captain **** the waist with a whip. Under the terrifying force, the captain couldn''t control himself and fell backwards, and his waist hit a fallen tree.


    "ah-"


    ??The sound of broken bones was heard, and the severe pain from his waist made the captain scream loudly. Luo An didn''t waste any time, raised his dagger and slashed towards the opponent.


    ??The captain used his remaining strength to hold the dagger, looked at Luo An in front of him with shock and fear in his eyes, and asked with great effort:


    ��Motherfu-ker��who the **** are you?��


    ��Go to **** and ask.��


    ?Luo An grinned and pressed the dagger down hard.


    ����


    ??A cold light flashed, the dagger was drawn out, blood burst out from his neck, and a large amount of liquid came out of his mouth. The team leader''s body trembled violently for a moment, and he collapsed on the ground and completely lost his breath.


    ?


    ??The enemies were all killed. Luo An also sat down on the ground and quickly opened his clothes to treat his injuries.


    The effect of the [Analgesic Potion] was so good that Luo An knew that he must have been injured, but he had no idea of ??the specific location. He did not want to kill all the enemies, only to die here due to bleeding from the wounds and excessive blood loss.


    ����


    On the other side, Captain Cyrus has already led his people to the island. He used sneak attacks and attacked Winslow and others inside and outside the position, and successfully killed more than 20 enemies on the periphery of the position.


    ��Thank you, you guys.��


    The people in the position were relieved. Chenier quickly expressed her gratitude to Captain Cyrus and others. Captain Cyrus could not find the target person, Team Leader Luo An, in the position and asked hurriedly:


    ��Where is Team Leader Luo An?��


    ��He��s on the cliff in the back.��


    ?Mona took a deep breath, wiped the dust from her face, and briefly talked about the situation with enemies behind her.


    ��Let��s go find Team Leader Luo An quickly.��


    ?Captain Cyrus was about to go to the cliff. Winslow suddenly stretched out his hand to hold him and said in a deep voice:


    ��Team Leader Luo An is not on the cliff.��


    ?After the words fell, Mona, Chenier, Captain John and others all turned back to look at him. Captain Cyrus frowned:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    ?Winslow took a deep breath and briefly talked about the plan and orders Luo An had previously described.


    After listening to Winslow''s description, the whole place instantly became extremely silent.


    ??Captain John and his team members were stunned in disbelief. The eyes of Captain Cyrus and others were filled with shock and admiration. Hamilton and Jasper, who were captured on the side, were also stunned.


    ��Winslow!!��


    Snapped-


    Chenelle raised her hand and slapped Winslow directly, roaring:


    "Are you crazy? There are more than a dozen enemies over there! You let Team Leader Luo An go alone?! Why didn''t you tell us!"


    Winslow remained silent after being slapped. As a man, and having worked in the hostage rescue team for so long, he understood what Luo An was thinking.


    ?Chenelle yelled at Winslow like crazy, and then suddenly froze, looking at Mona nervously.


    ??Mona stood there, her body trembling, her eyes red, biting her lips and saying nothing.


    ?Seeing Cheniel looking at her and Winslow preparing to speak, Mona ignored them and turned around and walked directly outside the position, preparing to go around here and go to the bottom of the cliff to find Luo An.


    ?Chenelle kicked Winslow as hard as she could, then hurriedly ran to follow Mona.


    ??Chenier thought of something while running, stopped and turned around and shouted:


    "Winslow! You *** hurry up and use the communicator to contact Luo An!"


    She was so angry that she almost forgot about the communicator.


    ��OK!��


    ?Winslow quickly got up from the ground and agreed. The battle just now was too fierce, and everyone''s communicators were put away.


    ?Captain Cyrus left a few people behind to take care of the wounded and guard hostages such as Hamilton and Jasper. He led the other team members to the cliff location and prepared to take the shortest road to find Roan.


    ?Captain John took a deep look at the cliff in the distance, suppressed the admiration in his heart and quickly followed.


    Several injured team members scrambled to grab the medicine and bandages, and briefly treated the wounds themselves. Regardless of whether the bullet was still in the body, they all supported each other and moved to Winslow''s side, staring closely at the contact in his hand. equipment.


    After handling the communication equipment and opening the communication channel, Winslow quickly pressed the button:


    ��Leader Luo An, how are you?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 528： Luo An was carried on a stretcher, coffee from the Washington headquarters

    Chapter 528 Luo An was carried on a stretcher, coffee at the Washington headquarters


    ��Leader Luo An, how are you?��


    As the words came out, the area around the communication equipment was extremely silent. Winslow and the injured team members subconsciously held their breath.


    Shasha��


    ?A harsh sound of electricity flashed by, and a few seconds later, a familiar voice sounded in the contact:


    ��I��m fine, how are you doing over there?��


    ��Yeah!!��


    ??The moment they heard Luo An''s voice, all the injured team members were filled with excitement and cheered loudly, ignoring the wounds on their bodies and frantically slapping each other.


    ?Winslow suppressed the excitement in his heart:


    ��The fighting on our side is over����


    "That''s good."


    After asking where Luo An was, Winslow quickly ran out of the position holding the communication device, preparing to search for Luo An with Chenille and Mona.


    ??Knowing that Roan was still alive, Chenil was relieved for a moment. Mona didn''t speak when she heard the news. She just wiped away the tears under her red eyes and silently accelerated her pace.


    ?In the woods far away, Luo An took off all his equipment and shirt in order to check his injuries. Finally, he found that his upper body only had some bruises and scratches, which were not serious.


    ?? But looking at the lower body, Luo An''s situation is not ideal, because not only was his left leg hit by a bullet, but his left foot was also fractured at some point.


    ?While treating the wound, Luo An tore the trousers of his left leg to pieces, picked up the dagger and inserted it into his left leg little by little, and took out the bullet inside.


    ?When Winslow, Chenelle and Mona rushed over, what they saw was Luo An��s upper body was naked, covered with scratches and bruises, and his lower body was wearing a pair of pants with only one leg.


    He was sitting next to a tree that had fallen to the ground with a corpse not far away. He was holding a dagger in his mouth and his face was full of pain. He was holding a torn piece of cloth and trying to deal with the hideous wound on his left leg. Wound.


    ��Luo An!��


    ��Team Leader Luo An!��


    ?Seeing this scene, Winslow and Chenelle felt extremely worried and shouted quickly, while Mona ran directly towards Luo An.


    Hearing the shouting, Luo An raised his head and saw the familiar faces of the three people. He took off the dagger from his mouth and showed a smile. He stretched out his hands as a gesture to hug Mona.


    ??Then Mona stopped, hit Luo An''s arm twice, glared at him fiercely, said nothing, and quickly took out emergency medicine from her pocket to help Luo An treat the wound.


    ??Luo An grinned and stretched out his hand to help Mona wipe the dust off her face. However, Mona, who was eager to deal with the wound, knocked his arm away and stopped his movement.


    Chenelle followed closely and ran to Mona. While giving Mona a hand, she carefully checked Luo An''s injuries to make sure that he was not seriously injured. Then she took a deep breath and let go of the big stone in her heart.


    Winslow also wanted to step forward to help treat Luo An''s wounds, but was kicked again by Chenier and had no choice but to leave. Instead, he took out his dagger and chopped wood nearby to prepare a simple stretcher.


    ?While processing the wood, Winslow checked the surrounding corpses just in case.


    Even though he was mentally prepared for Luo An''s strength, Winslow was still speechless and shocked when he saw clearly the death conditions of more than a dozen enemies and thought that they were all killed by Luo An alone.


    Not long after, Captain John and others also arrived at this area from the cliff.


    ?Seeing that Luo An was still alive and the injuries on his body were not particularly serious, Captain Cyrus'' tension immediately relaxed.


    The team members behind him looked at Luo An with admiration. The team members not only saw the corpses along the way, but also saw from the battle marks on the ground how Luo An managed to kill several people by himself. than his enemies.


    They were all front-line combatants. The team members had fought against those enemies just now, so they naturally knew how difficult this kind of thing was. While they were shocked, they couldn''t help but admire Luo An, the leader of the special investigation team who sounded like he was sitting in an office. .


    Captain John next to him now had nothing but heartfelt feelings for Luo An, and helped carry Luo An onto the temporary stretcher made by Winslow. He only had one question that was puzzling to him, and he asked:


    ��Leader Luo An, how did you move from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff?��


    Captain Cyrus and his team members all turned their heads when they heard this.


    Earlier, they ran from their position to the cliff, expecting to see a rope or other object, but Luo An followed it down the cliff.


    ??As a result, they found that the cliff was empty. They took the rope and struggled to get to the bottom of the cliff, but found nothing. They really didn''t understand how Luo An moved to the bottom of the cliff. Jump off the cliff directly?


    This answer was rejected by Captain Cyrus and his teammates before it was spoken. It was simply unacceptable...


    ��Jumped down directly.��


    On the stretcher, Luo An tried to grab Mona��s hand, but she knocked her away again. He smiled and replied:


    ��I��m pretty lucky.��


    ������xN


    ?Hearing Luo An''s answer, the first thought in everyone''s mind was "impossible", but they did not find anything at the scene. No matter how impossible this answer is, it can only be the only answer.


    Looking at Roan who was lightly beaten several times by Mona on the stretcher and had no choice but to lie down, Captain Cyrus, the team members, and Captain John all felt dumbfounded and their scalps were numb. Mona bit her lip tightly, and Chenelle He breathed heavily and was silent for a few seconds before giving Winslow a hard slap in the face again.


    ? Winslow: ������


    ?More than two hours later, Captain Cyrus led his people to dispose of the body, escorted the prisoners such as Hamilton and Jasper, and escorted Roan and others away from the island.


    Arriving at the seaside villa, Luo An and others finally met Herrick.


    ��Good afternoon, Mr. Herrick.��


    ?Sitting in a wheelchair, Luo An was slowly pushed forward by Mona. Seeing Herrick being guarded by several rifles, Luo An showed a sunny smile from the heart:


    ��Unexpectedly, the mission of your men failed, and we accidentally left the island alive.��


    ?Herrick, who was sitting on the sofa, was breathing heavily and was silent for a moment. He asked:


    ��Your voice sounds familiar. Are you the snakehead cousin?��


    Roan smiled and nodded, and Herric showed a sneer. Just when he was about to say something, the door to the room suddenly opened, and two men rushed in:


    ��Herric! You cousin��s bastard!��


    "I*#%*��"


    ??The two men were Hamilton and Jasper. While they were yelling curses, they raised their fists and smashed Herric in the face.


    ?The incident happened suddenly. Heilrick was caught off guard and was immediately punched in the face. After he reacted, he quickly prepared to fight back, but he was beaten to the ground by the two of them together.


    ��Hey! Hey! Hey! Pull them away quickly!��


    ??Luo An grinned and quickly suppressed it, loudly scolding Winslow and Chenelle, who were responsible for guarding the two, and at the same time waved to everyone to pull them away.


    ?Winslow and Chenelle entered the room shortly afterwards, apologized profusely, and hurried to call people to break up the fight.


    But because there was some chaos at the scene, the two of them accidentally hit Halrick in the face several times and kicked Halrick in the body several times.


    Herrick: ������


    ??Mona raised her brows slightly and pushed Luo An to leave the room silently. Luo An pondered for a few seconds, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found a contact and called him.


    At the same time, at the other end of the corridor, Captain Cyrus chose to ignore the noise from Roan. He was talking to Trick Kennedy on his cell phone.


    ����


    FBI headquarters in Washington, an office.


    ?A middle-aged white man with gold-rimmed glasses, black pupils, slightly bald head, and a fat body held a document and loudly said:


    "Trick! What are you doing here recently? Do you know that you have violated many rules?"


    ?The middle-aged white man waved the document and spat everywhere. Trick Kennedy sat on the chair and sneered at each other, not answering at all.


    ?Suddenly, Trick Kennedy''s cell phone rang. The middle-aged white man temporarily stopped talking and picked up his coffee to take a sip before continuing.


    score


    Suddenly, Trick Kennedy, who was answering the phone, slammed the table and stood up. He accidentally overturned the coffee cup in the middle-aged white man��s hand and exclaimed in shock:


    "you sure?!"

 Chapter 529： Return to the Washington headquarters to find out the truth about the case

    Chapter 529 Return to Washington Headquarters, the truth of the case - Part 1


    ��I��m sure, sir.��


    In the corridor of the seaside villa, Captain Cyrus replied:


    ��The mission was successfully completed, we successfully rescued team leader Luo An and his team members.


    ??The criminal group leader Jasper, the arms dealer Herrick, the arms dealer Hamilton, and Alex, the mole that team leader Luo An said are also under control..."


    ?Trick Kennedy was extremely shocked when he heard what Captain Cyrus described.


    ?Until Captain Cyrus asked for next instructions, Trick Kennedy took several deep breaths, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and said in a deep voice:


    ��I will send a plane to pick you up right now, and make sure everyone returns to the Washington headquarters smoothly!��


    "clear."


    ??In the headquarters office, when I saw Trick Kennedy hanging up the phone, a middle-aged white man whose face was full of anger because he had just spilled a lot of coffee, pretended to slap the table.


    Bang!


    ?The next second, an even more deafening sound of knocking on the table was heard. The middle-aged white man was startled. Trick Kennedy slammed the table directly in front of him and shouted angrily:


    ��Antoine! Get out of my office!��


    Middle-aged white man Antoine was suddenly filled with anger:


    ��Trick! You...��


    ��Getoutofmyface! (Get out of my face!)��


    "you��"


    ��GetOut! (Get Out!)��


    Antoine''s face was flushed, his chest was heaving, and he felt like his lungs were about to explode.


    ??After staring at Trick Kennedy for a few seconds, he clapped the documents in his hand, turned around and walked out of the office.


    score


    ??The office door was slammed shut. The next second, the anger on Antoine''s face in the corridor disappeared instantly, and his red face returned to normal very quickly. As he walked forward quickly, he took out his mobile phone and said coldly:


    ��There��s a new situation happening over at Trick, hurry up and investigate for me!


    I don��t know what difficulty is. If you can��t find out, you don��t have to come back! "


    At the same time, inside the office.


    ?Trick Kennedy quickly put away the angry look on his face, pressed the phone and asked someone to come in and deal with the coffee on the floor. Then he took out his flip phone and called Mr. Clement who was in the White House:


    ��Good afternoon, sir, I have good news...��


    ����


    Six hours later, as the sun went down, Luo An and his party arrived in Washington, the federal capital, from Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, on a luxury private plane.


    Luo An, who was flying on this kind of plane for the first time, narrowed his eyes slightly and gained a deeper understanding of Trick Kennedy''s abilities.


    ??The private plane landed slowly. Captain Cyrus and others got off the plane first. Mona pushed Luo An in the wheelchair out of the cabin last.


    As soon as the two of them walked down the stairs, they saw Mr. Clement, Trick Kennedy and others standing and waiting under the light not far away, as well as Captain Cyrus and his team members who had a look of astonishment on their faces.


    Winslow and Chenelle were also a little surprised. Mona��s expression remained unchanged and she slowly pushed Luo An forward. A flash of thought flashed in Luo An��s eyes, but a smile appeared on his face:


    ��Good evening, sir.��


    ��Good evening, thank you for your hard work.��


    Mr. Clement had a kind smile on his face and stretched out his hand to shake Roan''s hand.


    ?Trick Kennedy was a little more direct. He smiled so hard that he could hardly keep his eyes open. After shaking hands with Luo An and saying a few words, he directly replaced Mona and started pushing Luo An''s wheelchair forward.


    ?Captain Cyrus and others were shocked when they saw this scene. They all knew the identity of Trick Kennedy, but this was the first time they saw Trick Kennedy treat someone so intimately.


    Soon, the criminal group leader Jasper, the arms dealer Herrick, the arms dealer Hamilton, the mole Alex and others were taken away directly by Mr. Clement''s people.


    Captain Cyrus and his team turned around and left after the mission was over. Winslow, Mona, and Chenelle got into an FBI-standard SUV with a driver. Roan was pushed by Trick Kennedy, and he and Clark Together with Mr. Clement, they got into a stretch car.


    ��I heard you were injured, so we called a car at short notice.��


    ?As the car moved forward slowly, Trick Kennedy opened a bottle of Coke and handed it to Luo An, then asked with a curious smile on his face:


    ��Luo An, can you describe the battle on the island in detail?��


    After taking the Coke, Luo An kept turning on the "emotional sensing" function from the moment he got off the plane. He could confirm that Trick Kennedy had no ill intentions and even had a high degree of favorability towards him.


    But... Luo An looked at Mr. Clement aside and saw Mr. Clement taking out a few pills and swallowing them.


    ��As I get older, my blood pressure is a little higher. This is vitamin C.��


    Mr. Clement chuckled, pointed at Trick Kennedy, and explained:


    ��Trick wanted to be a detective and a battlefield when he was a child, but he couldn��t do these things, so he was very curious about them.��


    ?Trick sat next to him and sighed. Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, thinking of the other person''s last name "Kennedy" and the "curse of the Kennedy family", and he immediately understood the subtext of Mr. Clement''s words.


    ?So Luo An picked up the Coke and touched it with Trick, and began to describe the battle on the island in detail.


    After some minor artistic processing, the experience described by Luo An was ups and downs and gripping. Not only did Trick Kennedy look nervous, but even Mr. Clement, who was not very interested at first, couldn''t help but sit still. Straighten your back.


    ����Finally, the dagger slashed down and successfully cut the opponent��s throat.��


    ?? Luo An finished his vivid description, and the car just arrived at the parking lot of the FBI headquarters in Washington.


    Feeling the soreness in his waist, Mr. Clement finally realized that he had listened attentively all the way. He smiled warmly and nodded twice at Luo An, then turned around and slowly walked out of the car.


    ?Trick clenched his fists, putting himself into the role of Luo An. He was so excited after listening to the whole story that he wanted to raise his head and shout a few times.


    ??But the situation was not suitable now, so Trick... gently patted Luo An on the shoulder, pushed the wheelchair out of the car, and whispered to Luo An to visit his home this weekend.


    ��Definitely go.��


    ? Feeling that Trick''s favorability towards him had increased to another level, Luo An''s lips raised slightly and he agreed with a smile.


    In the eyes of the passing detectives who were either shocked or surprised, Roan in the wheelchair was pushed all the way into Mr. Clement''s office by Trick, followed closely by Winslow, Mona and Chenelle. Room.


    ��I should have let you rest tonight, but things are a bit urgent, so I��m really sorry.��


    The secretary poured some tea for several people, closed the door and left. Trick Kennedy said a few words briefly, and Mr. Clement then asked:


    ��Luo An, I hope you can describe the investigation process of this case in detail.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An nodded, and just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the office, and then a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and two white men in black suits walked in.


    ��Good evening, sir.��


    ?Antoine entered the room and greeted Mr. Clement first. Trick frowned slightly:


    "What''s your business?"


    Antoine smiled and replied:


    ��I heard that the murderer of Minister Alexander was caught, so I came over to learn more about this case.


    After all, we are also investigating the death of Minister Alexander. "


    ?Trick''s face changed slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Mr. Clement interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then motioned to the secretary to get three more chairs, indicating that they had not started yet, and Antoine and the other three could listen.


    ��Thank you, sir.��


    ?Antoine smiled and nodded to Mr. Clement. Then, with Trick''s ugly expression, he walked up to Luo An and stretched out his hand, smiling and saying:


    ��You are the leader of the Special Investigations Unit, Roan Greenwood. Hello, I am the Director of the Office of Professional Responsibility, Antoine.��


    ?Antoine��s smile was very sincere, but in Luo An��s ��emotional perception��, the other person��s true attitude was actually very unpleasant.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and shook it:


    ��Hello, sir.��


    ��If you have a chance, you can come to my place and have a chat.��


    Under Terry''s cold gaze, Antoine and Roan exchanged brief greetings, and then sat on the chairs next to them.


    The secretary turned and left the office. Mr. Clement knocked on the table lightly:


    ��Luo An, it��s time to start.��


    Roan asked Mona, Winslow and Chenille to turn over the whiteboard not far away, and then turned over Minister Alexander, criminal group leader Jasper, arms dealer Hamilton, mole Alex, and arms dealer Herrick and Ivan, a member of the Chicago Special Investigations Unit, their photos were posted on the whiteboard one by one.


    After preparations were completed, Luo An sat in the wheelchair and smiled slightly when facing everyone''s gaze:


    ��Everyone, this case is full of accidents from beginning to end.


    ?Everyone thinks they have everything under control, but in fact no one has ever learned the big picture. "

 Chapter 530： You hide it from me, I hide it from you, the truth of the case is

    Chapter 530: You hide it from me, I hide it from you, the truth of the case - Part 2


    ��Before returning to the Washington headquarters, our special investigation team has completed the interrogation of all persons involved in the case.


    So, let��s start with Minister Alexander. "


    ?? Luo An moved his wheelchair, tapped Minister Alexander��s photo, and said:


    ��Secretary Alexander dispatched the Chicago Special Investigation Team and three agents from FBI headquarters to the dock where the crime occurred, with three goals:


    First, use the criminal group leader Jasper to capture the arms dealer Hamilton.


    Second, there is a senior mole in the Washington headquarters and his subordinate moles. He plans to use this operation to find out and confirm the identity of the senior mole.


    Third, seize the key evidence of the high-level mole. "


    ��The mole?!�� x5


    When the words came to an end, Mr. Clement��s expression remained unchanged, Trick Kennedy��s eyes moved, and Antoine and his two men looked at each other and asked:


    ��So, Team Leader Luo An, have you found out who the high-level spy is?��


    ��It hasn��t been found yet.��


    ??Luo An spread his hands and said that he didn''t know much about the Washington headquarters, and then said:


    ��But by the time I finish describing it, I believe the officers will be able to find out the identity of the other party.��


    ��Good.��


    Mr. Clement nodded with satisfaction:


    "go on."


    ?Luo An picked up the whiteboard marker and continued:


    ��Minister Alexander��s plan is this:


    First, ostensibly, let the Chicago investigation team **** Jasper, the leader of the criminal group, to the dock to make a deal, and take the opportunity to seize the arms dealer Hamilton.


    Second, before this operation, Minister Alexander had already identified the mole at the grassroots level, and it was most likely among the three agents from the FBI headquarters he dispatched, but he had not yet determined which one it was.


    So Minister Alexander gave the task of finding the identity of the grassroots mole to the leader of the Chicago Special Investigation Team.


    The whole dock operation is a hook.


    ??A hook to seduce the grassroots insider, find a way to let the criminal group leader Jasper go, and then let the leader of the Chicago Special Investigation Team observe and capture the grassroots insider. "


    Mr. Clement picked up the coffee and took a sip. He had seen similar behavior too many times and did not find it too strange.


    ?Trick Kennedy took out a notebook and started recording. Antoine and the three people next to him discussed in low voices for a few seconds and asked:


    ��Leader Luo An, what��s next?��


    ��Next, we focus on Jasper, the leader of the criminal group.��


    ??Luo An moved his wheelchair, pointed the whiteboard marker at Jasper''s photo, and said:


    ��The leader of the criminal group, Jasper, was captured by the headquarters some time ago and later fell into the hands of Minister Alexander.��


    Upon hearing this, Trick Kennedy glanced at Antoine and the three people next to him calmly, and sneered.


    ?Luo An continued:


    ��According to the interrogation, we learned that Jasper was caught by Minister Alexander at that time, so he had to agree to Minister Alexander��s request and go to the dock to make a deal with the arms dealer Hamilton.


    ??Jasper naturally has his own ideas, such as running away and leaving the Federation.


    But he was imprisoned at the time and could do nothing. At this moment, the insider at the grassroots level appeared. "


    ?Hearing this, Trick Kennedy''s attention suddenly focused, and the eyes of Antoine and the others widened slightly.


    Luo An knocked on the whiteboard:


    ��There was a low-level mole who followed the instructions of the senior mole and used some means to contact Jasper.


    ??The senior mole said he could help Jasper escape.


    But in exchange, Jasper had to find a way to let the men of the high-ranking mole capture the arms dealer Hamilton. "


    ?Trick Kennedy looked solemn and narrowed his eyes slightly. The three Antoine looked at each other and saw the strange color in each other''s eyes.


    It is not difficult to understand the meaning of Luo An''s words. The senior mole planned to make a deal with Jasper, let Jasper betray the arms dealer, and then capture the arms dealer himself and get the big credit.


    ?Even if you think more deeply, the senior mole probably didn''t intend to really let Jasper go, but planned to take advantage of Jasper later and then capture him. In order to prevent this matter from being exposed, the subordinates of the senior mole will most likely kill Jasper later.


    ?This kind of thing is treacherous and dishonest, which is very disgusting.


    But everyone present was not too excited. They were all people from the Washington headquarters. They had seen this kind of thing a lot.


    ?Luo An continued:


    ��So, we can know that the senior mole also has three plans and ideas:


    First, he let his subordinates at the grassroots level take action and used some means to release Jasper, which led to the failure of Minister Alexander''s mission.


    Second, make a deal with Jasper and use him to capture the arms dealer Hamilton.


    ?Third, go out and clean up the mess yourself and capture Jasper and Hamilton.


    Not only did he get a lot of credit, but he was also able to step down Minister Alexander, who "failed the action and let Jasper go". "


    ������xN


    The air in the office was silent for a long time. Trick Kennedy glanced at Antoine and the other three and asked:


    ��So, Jasper, the leader of the criminal group, agreed?��


    "Of course he agreed, because he wanted to escape and he had no choice."


    ?Luo An chuckled, spread his hands, and said:


    ��But Jasper cannot completely follow the instructions of the senior mole. He also has his own ideas and plans:


    First, he made a false promise with a senior insider, pretending to agree to the other party, and borrowed the other party''s hand to pass the news to the arms dealer Hamilton.


    ?The content of the news is that he plans to use the [FBI and CIA lists] he knows as a bargaining chip to make a deal with the arms dealer Hamilton, hoping that the other party can rescue him that day.


    Second, find a way to leave the Federation and take revenge on the senior mole and Minister Alexander afterwards. "


    ?Trick Kennedy wrote and drew in his notebook for a moment, then raised his head and said:


    ��According to what you just said, the arms dealer Hamilton received the message from Jasper and agreed to his terms.


    At the dock that day, the arms dealer Hamilton made a deal with the Chicago Special Investigation Team.


    The actual purpose is to rescue Jasper, and then ask Jasper for the [FBI��s list of good CIAs].��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An nodded and then added:


    ��In addition, the arms dealer Hamilton also planned to kill Jasper after getting the list.


    After all, the less people know about a list, the more precious it is, right? "


    ??Luo An paused for a moment while talking. The air in the office was very quiet, and everyone was thinking and sorting out the information they just heard.


    ? Minister Alexander��s purpose is to use the dock operation to seize the arms dealers and find out the insiders at the grassroots level and the insiders at the top.


    ??The purpose of the senior mole is to sabotage Minister Alexander''s actions, capture the arms dealer and Jasper himself, and climb up the ladder by stepping on Minister Alexander.


    ??Jasper''s purpose is to use the senior mole and arms dealer Hamilton to escape from the FBI and leave the federation.


    ??The purpose of arms dealer Hamilton is to rescue Jasper and get the [FBI and CIA list] from Jasper.


    ?These are the intrigues of the big guys above, and the specific implementers of the actions also have their own plans.


    ?For example, the members of the Chicago Special Investigation Team only knew their apparent mission, which was to **** Jasper to the dock to make a deal and capture the arms dealer Hamilton.


    Three agents at FBI headquarters are tasked with guarding Jasper.


    ?As the leader of the Chicago Special Investigation Team, in addition to the above transaction and arrest tasks, he also has to observe, find and arrest grassroots moles.


    ??The task of the grassroots mole is not only to hide his identity, but also to find a way to release Jasper and obtain evidence to slander Minister Alexander.


    It can be said that the whole operation was full of intrigue from the beginning.


    ?You hide it from me and I deceive you. Everyone has their own ideas and goals, but on the surface they still pretend to know nothing.


    The air in the office was quiet for a long time. After everyone thought about and sorted out the information explained by Luo An, Mr. Clement unknowingly straightened his waist and asked:


    ��Luo An, the arms dealer named Herric behind him, what��s going on with him?��


    ??Luo An moved his wheelchair to the other side of the whiteboard, tapped Herrick''s photo, and said in a deep voice:


    ��He was an accident, a variable that no one thought of, not even himself!��

 Chapter 531： There are information gaps everywhere. The truth behind the case

    Chapter 531: Information gaps everywhere, the truth of the case - Part 2


    ��Before discussing Herric��s purpose, we need to introduce his identity first.��


    In the wheelchair, Luo An looked at Chenier next to her. Chenier opened the folder in her hand and said loudly:


    ��Herrick, 40 years old, is one of the arms dealers in the underground world. He has a competitive relationship with the arms dealer Hamilton and has some business grievances.


    A few months ago, Minister Alexander and others conducted an operation to capture him. In the end, the operation failed due to some unexpected circumstances, causing Herrick to escape.


    ?Herrick was also seriously injured in that operation, and almost died in this world after being insulted by the arms dealer Hamilton. "


    After Chenier��s introduction, Trick Kennedy narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��You just said that Minister Alexander��s operation unexpectedly failed. Was this accident due to the senior mole?��


    ��Unable to determine at this time.��


    ?Luo An took the document in Cheniel��s hand and replied:


    ��It can only be said that it is possible.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Trick Kennedy glanced coldly at Antoine and the other three who were discussing in low voices, and said:


    ��Leader Luo An, please continue.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An raised the folder in his hand and continued:


    ��Ever since he escaped with great damage during that operation, Herric has always wanted to take revenge on Minister Alexander.


    Some time ago, he discovered that Minister Alexander contacted the Chicago Special Investigation Team very frequently, so he wanted to see if he could get any useful information from the people in the Chicago Special Investigation Team. "


    ??As a result, Herrick conducted a brief investigation and found that Ivan, a member of the Chicago Special Investigation Team, had a case of death in a car accident that was suppressed by Ivan with money.


    Halrick sent someone to transfer the family of the victim of the car accident under his control. Through some coercion and inducement, he successfully persuaded Team Ivan to do things for him.


    This is also the reason why Luo An and others didn''t know about this before. They were all taken away by Herrick''s people and they couldn''t find out at all.


    ?Trick Kennedy frowned slightly and carefully recorded it in his notebook. Antoine pondered for a few seconds and asked:


    ��Herrick learned about Minister Alexander��s dock operation from Team Ivan, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Luo An nodded, tapped the picture of Herrick with a whiteboard pen, and said:


    ��Herrick not only learned about Operation Pier, but also learned about Jasper��s [FBI and CIA list].


    ?Thus, Herrick formulated his plan to kill four birds with one stone:


    First, send someone directly, that is, the truck driver, to kill Minister Alexander to avenge what happened some time ago.


    Second, he left some clues related to the arms dealer Hamilton at the truck driver''s house, and blamed the incident on the arms dealer Hamilton.


    Third, on the day of the dock transaction, he hired a group of mercenaries in the name of the arms dealer Hamilton to ambush him in advance.


    ??Planned to kill the arms dealer Hamilton on the day of the transaction, not only to avenge the previous infliction of insult, but also to hide his identity by leaving the frame-up unsubstantiated.


    Fourth, kidnap Jasper, the leader of the criminal group, and ask him for the [FBI and CIA lists]. He is also very interested in this matter. "


    ��Sonof better than eating.��


    ?Trick Kennedy cursed a few words in a low voice, and Antoine and the three discussed in a low voice again. Mr. Clement pondered for a while and asked:


    ��Luo An, what did you mean by accident before?��


    ��It��s very simple. There are information differences everywhere in the whole incident.��


    Luo An moved his wheelchair, tapped the photos on the whiteboard one by one, and said seriously:


    ��Minister Alexander, the senior mole, Jasper, and the arms dealer Hamilton, all four of them have their own plans, but they don��t know the plans of the others.


    ??The Chicago investigation team members, team leader, FBI headquarters agents, and grassroots insiders also did not understand the overall situation.


    As for Herrick, he got the information from Agent Ivan. He only knew about the transaction at the dock, but he did not know the plans of the four people above.


    At the trading site that day, everyone on the dock was actually ready for a firefight.


    This led to the fact that when Herrick asked the mercenaries to swarm him, the people on the dock were caught off guard, but the arms dealer Hamilton successfully retreated under the cover of his men; the mole agent took advantage of the chaos and released Jasper, making Jasper Sibo left successfully.


    ??The only ones killed by the group of mercenaries were the leader of the Chicago Special Investigation Team, most of the agents, and two agents from the FBI headquarters. Herrick tried hard, but failed to get the part of the target he wanted most, so he could only continue to send more people to hunt down Jasper and the arms dealer Hamilton. "


    ??The bald man and others in front were chasing Donnita and Norberto in Chicago for this reason. They wanted to get clues from the two arms dealers Hamilton and Jasper.


    After hearing this, Trick Kennedy''s eyes widened. The two men in suits next to Antoine looked at each other in confusion. Mr. Clement''s mouth was smiling and his eyes were full of approval. Antoine pondered for a few seconds with surprise on his face. , then asked:


    ��Leader Luo An, we already understand the ins and outs of the dock operation. Could you please tell me how you investigated this case?��


    ��Of course, our special investigation team also took advantage of the information gap between the parties.��


    Luo An put away the whiteboard markers, opened the folder in his hand, looked around at everyone in the room, and said with a smile:


    ��First of all, although team member Ivan is a mole, he also has his own plan. He faked his death on the dock with the arms dealer Herrick behind his back, and planned to take his wife to leave the federation. Our special investigation team used this to find the dock where the crime occurred.


    ??That grassroots insider is Alex, one of the three agents at the Washington headquarters.


    ?When a fight broke out at the dock, he didn''t understand what was going on, so he had to fake his death and escape. Just in case, he chose to follow Jasper.


    The two parties fighting on the beach were Jasper, Alex who was following him, and the pursuers sent by Herric.


    ??Jasper and Alex successfully escaped to the Bahamas, and Herric''s pursuers set out to pursue them.


    ??Arms dealer Hamilton didn''t know what was going on with the group of mercenaries at this time, but so many of his men died on the dock, and Jasper even ran away.


    ?So in order to find out the truth and get a list of names to catch Jasper, Hamilton followed all the way to the Bahamas after learning about the battle on the beach, becoming the "new force" behind.


    The smuggler died. Our special investigation team found out the news and hurriedly followed him to the Bahamas. "


    What happened next was that Luo An brought people to the island, arrested everyone, and faced the direct subordinates sent by Herrick. He used the information gap to pretend to be the smuggler''s cousin, called and took the opportunity to get the address, and asked Captain Cyrus to arrest them. catch.


    In the end, Luo An defeated 13 enemies. He eliminated the enemies, walked out of the island, and took his people back to Washington.


    Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!


    "good very good!"


    After Luo An finished narrating, Mr. Clement looked happy and full of admiration. He stretched out his hand and tapped him twice, and then praised loudly and clapped his hands.


    Trick Kennedy, who was listening to Luo An''s description attentively, was full of excitement. He only reacted when he heard the applause. He immediately stood up and applauded Luo An loudly with a smile on his face.


    Antoine looked complicated and left his chair to applaud Luo An. Although the two men in black suits beside him were full of dissatisfaction, they were still amazed by Luo An''s case-solving process and raised their hands to applaud him. .


    Beside Chenelle and Winslow, their eyes were shining brightly. Mona��s face was expressionless, but her hands tightly twisting her clothes behind her were slowly loosened amidst the applause.


    ?Outside the room, the secretary was surprised when he heard the applause in the office that had not stopped for a long time, and then a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He must have a good relationship with Team Leader Luo An in the future.


    "Thanks."


    Roan smiled and nodded his thanks. Antoine praised him briefly, then suddenly turned to look at Mr. Clement and said:


    ��Sir, Jasper, Herrick, Hamilton, the mole Alex and others have been captured by Team Leader Luo An.


    But that member Ivan is still on the run, I..."


    Before Antoine finished speaking, Trick Kennedy stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder:


    ��I will send someone to catch him, so I won��t bother Minister Antoine.


    I think the most important thing that Minister Antoine needs to do now is to screen the senior mole, isn''t it? "


    Antoine turned his eyes and smiled:


    ��The matter of the senior mole is not urgent...��


    ��Are you not in a hurry, or do you just don��t want to look for it?��


    ��Minister Trick, what you said is a bit excessive.��


    The two of them were going back and forth in various strange ways. Just when Mr. Clement was about to speak, Roan next to him suddenly coughed lightly and said:


    ��Sirs, that Ivan has been captured by my team members.��


    ��??!��x5

 Chapter 532： Attitudes of all parties, Mona’s conversation

    Chapter 532: Attitudes of all parties, Mona��s conversation


    FBI headquarters in Washington, a large office.


    After Luo An finished speaking, Mr. Clement, Trick Kennedy, Minister Antoine, and the two men in suits in the room all turned to look at him in surprise.


    After reacting, Trick Kennedy grinned, glanced at Antoine beside him calmly, suppressed himself from laughing, his voice was slightly trembling due to excitement, and asked:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, what exactly is going on?��


    ��I called the Special Investigations Unit agents before when I was at that beach house.��


    Roan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, smiled and said that the call he made was to the Special Investigation Team, Agents Lacey and Michelle who were staying in Los Angeles.


    After the operation at the dock, Herrick learned that the mercenaries had not found the body of Ivan, so he guessed the other party''s idea of ????faking death to escape, so he sent another team to catch him.


    ?Helric was captured later, and Luo An and others found out the location of the team and the traces of Ivan''s team members without much effort.


    ?So Roan made a few calls to Michelle and Lacey and asked them to lead a team to arrest the pursuit team and Ivan team member.


    Team Lacey was hospitalized due to injuries and was unable to take any specific actions. Based on Luo An''s description, Michelle first found Team Ivan and the group of pursuers. Then, under Lacey''s command and advice, she contacted the nearby SWAT team to carry out specific actions. , and finally succeeded in catching both sides.


    ��My agent Michelle and a SWAT team are currently escorting Team Ivan and the pursuers sent by Herrick to the Washington headquarters.��


    Luo An put the whiteboard marker aside and said with a smile:


    ��They are expected to arrive here in three hours.��


    After Luo An finished narrating, Trick Kennedy suddenly raised his eyebrows, couldn''t hide his smile and laughed out loud. He gave Luo An a "well done" look, and then reached out and patted Minister Antoine next to him on the shoulder. , smiled and said:


    ��Minister Antoine, you should go and take care of the senior mole.


    I think this matter must be investigated as soon as possible. The sooner the better, what do you think? "


    ����


    Minister Antoine was too lazy to pay attention to Trick Kennedy. He took a deep look at Luo An, turned around and briefly apologized to Mr. Clement, and then took the two people behind him and looked into Luo An''s eyes. The man in the suit, who was filled with admiration, resentment and other emotions, quickly left the office.


    ??Seeing the backs of Antoine and the others walking out of the door, Trick Kennedy raised his head and was about to laugh loudly. At this moment, Mr. Clement reached out and knocked on the table and said:


    ��Trick, control your emotions!


    Luo An and the others have been busy all day, so you take them to have a good rest. "


    Mr. Clement could not hide the smile on his face when he watched Luo An speak. His impression of Luo An was already good, but it was improved by several levels tonight.


    ��Okay, sir.��


    ?Trick Kennedy quickly closed his grin and nodded in agreement, then took Mona''s position again and pushed Luo An out. As he walked, he asked excitedly about some details of the case in a low voice.


    The three Winslows followed closely and left the office. The room became empty. Mr. Clement leaned back in his chair, looked at the whiteboard not far away, raised his hands and put them in front of his mouth, and murmured to himself in a low voice. Said:


    ��Special Investigation Team����


    On the other side, the Office of Professional Responsibility.


    As soon as Minister Antoine returned to the office, he got the information from his secretary about Roan Greenwood and the special investigation team he led that he had asked the secretary to investigate before.


    After a brief glance around, Antoine''s pupils shrank when he saw the 100% case detection rate of the special investigation team so far.


    The secretary next to him had also seen this information before and was also shocked. Seeing that the superior was silent, he asked tentatively:


    ��Sir, do we want����


    ��No.��


    As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Antoine slammed the folder shut with a serious expression on his face and said in a deep voice:


    ��Continue to dig deeper into Roan Greenwood��s information to see what he likes. Money, women, or power, and try to find a way to bring him to our side.


    Attention, this should be done more secretly. "


    A trace of astonishment flashed in the secretary''s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and nodded heavily in agreement.


    ����


    Half an hour later, Washington, D.C., Four Seasons Hotel.


    ??This hotel is located at the entrance to Georgetown, the crossroads of the social and political heart of Washington, D.C., just a few dozen meters away from the Confederate Monument. Trick-Kennedy arranged three high-end suites for Luo An and the four of them, and he had enough money to rent them for a week, so that Luo An and the four of them could relax and go sightseeing in the past few days.


    After a moment of greetings, Trick Kennedy left with his secretary first. Winslow and Chenelle looked overjoyed. After a brief discussion with Roan, they took their room cards and headed to their rooms.


    ??Mona pushed her wheelchair and walked into the last suite with Luo An.


    ?The door was closed, and Mona pushed the wheelchair to the opposite side of the sofa. She sat down on the sofa, folded her hands on her chest, and stared at Luo An expressionlessly.


    Upon seeing this, Luo An immediately raised his French military posture:


    ��Sorry.��


    ??Knowing Mona''s depth, he immediately guessed what Mona was thinking. She must have been angry because of what happened on the island.


    ?Mona was silent for a long time, her eyes became a little red, her voice was slightly hoarse, and she said:


    ��Luo An, I thought you were dead.��


    ??Luo An moved his wheelchair forward and stretched out his hands to hug Mona, but Mona waved them away. She continued:


    ��When I heard Winslow say that you were going to face the enemy behind the cliff alone, I had only one idea, which was to find your body, kill the prisoners, and finally shoot myself����


    Luo An could feel that what Mona said were her real thoughts. Luo An didn''t know what to say about this, so he had to press down the other person''s struggling arm with a little force, hold Mona tightly in his arms, and gently Kissed her cheek and whispered in Mona''s ear:


    ��I��m sorry for making you worry����


    After struggling a few times and finding that she couldn''t get away, Mona gave up the struggle, then raised her hands and hugged Luo An''s waist from behind, sobbing softly and repeating:


    "Luo An, I thought you were dead..."


    ??Luo An didn''t answer, he just stood up and hugged Mona''s cheek, lowered his head and kissed her.


    ?Mona''s reaction was very violent. She held Luo An''s head tightly with both hands and refused to let go. During the kiss, she even started to bite Luo An''s lips.


    After a long and almost suffocating kiss, Mona pushed Luo An''s head away, licked the blood from the corner of her mouth with her tongue, and suddenly said:


    ��Luo An, let��s have a baby.��


    Hearing this, Luo An immediately ignored the pain of the wound on his lip. Before he could speak, Mona added:


    ��We don��t want to get married, we just want children.��


    ����


    ? Luo An was silent for a moment, and he thought of Mona''s parents being separated all the time, and Mona, who grew up in a single-parent family, was afraid of marriage.


    but��


    Without waiting for Luo An to answer, Mona started to move directly. Luo An subconsciously ducked back:


    ��Mona, I��m not injured yet����


    ��It��s okay, your injury is on your calf, I��ll be careful, trust me.��


    ??Mona skillfully removed Luo An''s defensive measures, then hugged Luo An''s head and kissed him heavily.


    Luo An: ������


    ����


    The next day, ten o''clock in the morning.


    ??Luo An slowly opened his eyes and looked at Mona, who had slept all night with something under her butt, and sighed with a twitch in the corner of his mouth.


    ?Last night, Mona''s movements were not as fierce as before, but rather gentle, and there was no defensive measure between the two of them.


    Luo An didn��t feel any pain from the wound on his left leg, but after lying there all night, he only felt a little pain in his waist.


    ?Getting up and moving to the bathroom to tidy up his personal hygiene, Luo An opened the system page in his mind.


    ?As expected, the system evaluated him as [Excellent] this time, and he accumulated 10 treasure boxes at once.


    The familiar rough cutscene ended. Luo An clearly saw the potion from the treasure box, and his expression changed slightly:


    ��New potion?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 533： New Potion, President John F. Kennedy

    Chapter 533 New Potion, President John F. Kennedy


    On the light blue system page, the 10 treasure chests contain two bottles of [Danger Sense Potion], two bottles of [Strength Potion], two bottles of [Swift Potion], two bottles of [Scuba Potion], and two bottles of [Regeneration Potion] ��


    At this time, in the system warehouse page, there is [Stamina Potion x5]


    ��Hemostatic Agent x4��


    ��Antidote x5��


    ��Swift Potion x4��


    ��Strength Potion x4��


    ��Sensitive agent x1��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x5��


    ��Featherfall Potion x3��


    ��Sleep Potion x1��


    ��Scuba Potion x3��


    ��Regeneration Potion x2��


    ��Danger Sense Potion x2��


    The [Danger Sensing Potion] that I had been longing for was prescribed, and there were only two bottles. This was a very happy thing, but Luo An��s eyes were not on them, but on the newly appeared [Regeneration Potion] Potion.


    The effect of this new potion is not difficult to guess. It can be seen from the name. Luo An thought for a moment, took out a bottle and poured it into his stomach. After a few seconds, an indescribable numbness and tingling sensation suddenly appeared from his left side. The wound on the leg erupted.


    Luo An frowned at the strong discomfort and sat down on the toilet.


    Looking down at the wound on his left leg, Luo An found that the flesh and blood in the wound was not recovering as fast as expected, nor did he want to recover in the blink of an eye like a game.


    ??But after calculating the time based on the feeling of the wound, Luo An found that the wound on the calf would probably heal in less than 8 hours, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised.


    From the beginning to now, this is the first time Luo An has obtained a therapeutic potion. When he was injured in the past, he always used [Hemostatic Potion] + [Analgesic Potion] + [Stamina Potion] to resist.


    One of the abilities of [Physical Strength Potion] is to increase physical fitness. As physical fitness increases, the speed of wound healing will increase, and a transition is needed in the middle.


    Now that you have obtained the [Regeneration Potion], you don��t have to work so hard after being injured. First use the [Hemostatic Potion] to stop the bleeding, and then use the [Regeneration Potion] to treat the wound.


    ??Moreover, the word "rebirth" also made Luo An think of some other things.


    ��Luo An?��


    Hearing Mona��s shouting in the room, Luo An temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind, covered up the wound on his left leg, walked out of the bathroom and asked:


    "What''s wrong?"


    "fine."


    ??Mona forcefully pulled out the pillow from under her buttocks and threw it aside. She turned sideways and looked at Luo An, her pretty face blushed slightly, and she said with a smile:


    ��I��m just a little worried that someone will run away quietly.��


    Luo An immediately rolled his eyes and slowly moved to the big bed:


    ��I��m not BlackMan.��


    ?Mona raised her hand and hit Luo An on the arm:


    ��Wow, how dare you be racist.��


    ?Luo An lowered his head and kissed Mona''s face, then raised his head and asked:


    ��Stop talking about this, what do you want to eat? I��ll call the waiter to bring it to you.��


    ��Milk, lean meat, broccoli, apple, foie gras.��


    ?Mona tilted her head and thought for a moment, then added:


    ��Ask the waiter to buy some folic acid tablets and bring them to you. Remember to leave a tip.��


    These are foods that should be eaten during pregnancy preparation.


    Luo An looked at Mona speechlessly, and Mona looked away unconsciously:


    ��Why do you look at me like that?��


    ��Mona, to be honest, how long have you had the idea of ??having a child?��


    ��Just yesterday.��


    "Um?"


    ������went a little further yesterday.��


    ��How much is a little bit?��


    ��When you got hurt for the first time after we moved in together.��


    ����


    That was a long time ago.


    Luo An was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand to gently rub Mona''s belly. Mona raised her head and kissed the side of Luo An''s face, and whispered:


    "I love you, Roan. Promise me not to risk your life again, okay?" "...Mona."


    "Um?"


    ��The amount last night may not be enough. I��ll give you some more.��


    ����No! I object! You must not be hungry if you didn��t move last night. I have been busy for so long and now I am hungry!��


    "invalid objection."


    ����


    An hour later, Luo An was unable to move due to his leg injury. He and Mona packed up their clothes and began to taste the breakfast served by the waiter at nearly twelve o''clock.


    ?Winslow and Chenelle had sent messages to Roan in the morning, and they each went to have fun or go shopping.


    ?? Michelle arrived at the Washington headquarters at around 5 a.m., and after handing her over, Trick Kennedy also opened a high-end suite for her, right next to Chenelle''s room.


    ??Lacy''s recovery is also good. Doctors in Los Angeles said she is expected to leave the hospital in another week.


    ?? Luo An heard the news on his mobile phone and automatically extended the time by a week.


    Because the prerequisite for Lacey to leave the hospital in a week is that she does not have trouble with the female nurse during this period.


    The possibility of Lacey not causing trouble is almost non-existent.


    ����


    A few days of relaxation time flew by, and it was Saturday night of the second week.


    ?Winslow and Chenelle went out to have fun as before, one went to a bar and the other went to the gym.


    ? Michelle used to work at the FBI headquarters and had some acquaintances in Washington, D.C. Tonight, at the invitation of a girl, she went to her house for dinner.


    ?Roan and Mona each put on a formal outfit tonight and went to the other party''s house for dinner at the invitation of Trick Kennedy.


    In front of a luxurious villa, Luo An and Mona got out of the car and reached out to shake hands with Trick Kennedy:


    "Good evening."


    ??Luo An''s leg injury has healed at this time, but in order to hide his injuries from others, he still uses a medical aid cane.


    With a smile on his face, Trick Kennedy stretched out his hand to shake hands with Luo An, and then pointed to a woman next to him with short blond hair and a face that was not particularly beautiful, but looked very luxurious and said:


    ��Good evening, this is my wife, Michelle Kennedy.��


    It is a federal tradition for women to take their husband��s surname after marriage. Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and he reached out and shook hands with Trick Kennedy��s wife:


    ��Good evening, Ms. Michella.��


    ��Good evening, Mr. Greenwood.��


    ��This is Mona.��


    ??Luo An briefly introduced Mona''s identity, and Mi Qila smiled and took the gift from the two of them. After a few brief greetings, they walked into the villa together.


    ?This villa is not a family asset of the Kennedy family, but a house purchased by Trick Kennedy with his own money after his marriage. Only he, his wife, and some servants live in it.


    The four chatted for a while. Mona was taken away by the hostess of the villa, Mi Qila. The two went to discuss some female topics in a distance. Luo An was pulled by Trick Kennedy to his study on the second floor. .


    ??This study room is very large, almost equal to the total area of ??Luo An''s office area in the Los Angeles Special Investigation Team. It is decorated in a simple and elegant way. Behind the desk, there is a huge bookshelf filled with various books and documents.


    ??But after Luo An entered the study, his eyes were not on the large and conspicuous bookshelf, but on a photo in the corner of the desk.


    The man in the photo is smiling and has a kind expression, and he bears a slight resemblance to Trick Kennedy.


    ? It was the man who left a lot of mysteries and conspiracy theories in the world, the 35th President of the Confederacy, John F. Kennedy.


    Seeing Luo An��s gaze, Trick Kennedy��s eyes flashed with a complicated light, and he introduced with a smile:


    ��President Kennedy, you must know him, he is my second grandfather.��


    "Feel sorry."


    ??Luo An withdrew his gaze and apologized. In his two lifetimes, this was the first time that he had such close contact with the president''s personal photos and descendants.


    "It doesn''t matter."


    ?Trick Kennedy patted Luo An on the shoulder, handed him a cigar, and then sat on the sofa and chatted with Luo An with a smile.


    Luo An, who did not smoke, took the cigar without moving it. The two chatted for a while, and Trick suddenly said:


    ��By the way, I said before that the FBI Washington headquarters plans to cancel the establishment of the Special Investigation Team. Do you remember this?��


    "certainly."


    ?Luo An nodded, he has never forgotten this matter.


    ��I have bad news for you.��


    ?Trick took a deep puff of his cigar, and amid the smoke he said in a deep voice:


    ��This matter has been decided and there is no way to change it.��


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    ?At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the study door. Before Trick could speak, the door was pushed open and a man walked in.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 534： Special Investigation Team No. 13

    Chapter 534 Special Investigation Team��Investigation Team No. 13


    A luxurious villa, study room.


    It is very impolite for the study door to be pushed open without the owner''s permission.


    ??But Trick Kennedy seemed to be used to this. The moment the door was pushed open, his first reaction was not to be angry, but to quickly put out the cigar in his hand.


    ??The white man who entered the room was wearing a black slightly striped suit. His hair was half black and half white, with a slicked back hairdo. He was about fifty years old.


    ??Seeing the smoke-filled study and the action of Trick Kennedy busy putting out his cigar, the old white man snorted coldly, and then stretched out his hand to Luo An with a serious face:


    "You must be Luo An, I am Trik''s father."


    A flash of light flashed in Luo An''s eyes, he stood up and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party.


    ??Before being invited to this villa tonight, Luo An asked Mona to briefly check the family relationship of Trick Kennedy, so she knew something about Trick Kennedy''s father.


    ? Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, is the fourth generation politician of the Kennedy family.


    ��Hello, Mr. Kennedy.��


    Luo An smiled, neither humble nor overbearing, and exchanged a few simple greetings with the other party:


    "Nice to meet you."


    ��Please sit down.��


    Robert Kennedy Jr. always looked very serious. He waved his hand for Luo An to sit on the sofa with him. He ignored Trick Kennedy and said:


    ��I heard about Team Leader Luo An��s experience in solving crimes. He was very impressive. Among the young people I know, it is very rare for someone as outstanding as you to be.��


    "Thanks."


    Luo An was not modest and simply followed the federal tradition and agreed with a smile and nod.


    Seeing this, Robert Kennedy Jr. flashed a flash of approval in his eyes. After a few simple chats, he changed the topic to the federal political parties:


    ��What does Leader Luo An think of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party?��


    ��One is an arms dealer and the other is a tobacco dealer.��


    Roan made a mocking reference to the two parties from a federalist, spread his hands, and said:


    ��I work for the FBI, which is loyal to the federal government and non-partisan.��


    ?Luo An has always had little interest in the various parties in the federation. It happened that the FBI also had such regulations, so he took the opportunity to answer the other party''s questions.


    ��Good.��


    ?Hearing Luo An''s answer, Robert Kennedy Jr. had a strange look on his face but it quickly disappeared, and then chatted with Luo An about other issues.


    Luo An, who was keenly observant, saw the change in the other party''s expression for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged as if nothing had happened, and he continued to discuss various federal topics with the other party.


    After chatting for a while, Robert Kennedy Jr. said that he still had things to do. He stood up and shook hands with Luo An again. He walked aside with Trick Kennedy and briefly communicated in a low voice before leaving the study.


    He was originally the host but became a spectator. Trick Kennedy, who was sitting next to him and barely spoke a moment ago, stood by the study window to confirm that his father had really left in the car. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and regained the smile on his face. He laughed at himself:


    ��My father looks scary, doesn��t he?��


    ? Luo An smiled and did not answer, picked up the lighter and cigar on the table, and asked:


    "continue?"


    "certainly!"


    ?Trick Kennedy took the cigar from Luo An, then found a bottle of wine from behind the bookcase and said with a smile:


    ��This time with a bottle of rum!��


    ??Took the goblet and took a sip of the strong rum. The spicy taste filled his lips and teeth, and Luo An''s eyes suddenly lit up.


    ?Trick took a sip of wine and a cigar, took a few deep breaths, and relaxed a lot.


    ��Where were we talking about before? By the way, it��s about the organization.��


    The air in the study was quiet for a moment. Trick patted his head and said:


    ��Those guys who are full of cat **** have decided to cancel the establishment of ten special investigation teams and let them return to the original numbered investigation teams.��


    ??The expression on Luo An''s face did not change at all, and he even picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Trick.


    Trick raised his eyebrows after clinking wine glasses with Luo An: "You don''t seem worried?"


    ��I believe tonight��s dinner invitation is definitely not a bad news conference.��


    ?Luo An took a sip of the rum in the glass and said with a smile:


    ��Isn��t it?��


    "Hahaha��"


    ?Trick laughed loudly, drank all the rum in his glass, and said:


    ��At the FBI��s Washington headquarters, there are twelve numbered investigation teams under the Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Divisions.


    The day before yesterday, the department established a new investigation team No. 13. The leader of the team has been selected. The name on the document is Roan Greenwood, who will take up the post in two months. "


    Luo An raised the corners of his mouth:


    ��Thank you, sir.��


    "no need to thank me."


    ?Trick waved his hand and explained:


    ��I am only the deputy secretary of the Internal Threat Office and do not have the authority to establish Investigation Team 13.��


    ?Luo An nodded clearly, explaining that this investigation team was promoted by Mr. Clement. It seemed that he would need to go to Mr. Clement��s office a few more times.


    "And one more thing."


    ?Trick took a few sips of wine, suddenly reached out and patted Luo An on the shoulder, and whispered:


    ��Luo An, the investigation fee you reported before was too small.��


    Luo An thought about it carefully and realized that the other party was talking about the [Death Case of Minister Alexander]. After the case was over, the headquarters would reimburse him for the investigation expenses he reported.


    Out of caution, Luo An did not do anything when reporting this expense. Even so, the expense exceeded US$80,000.


    "too low!"


    ?Trick waved his hands repeatedly:


    ��The other twelve investigation teams spend no less than 200,000 US dollars each time they go out to investigate a case! Some even cost as much as one million US dollars!


    ??You led the special investigation team this time and worked so hard to investigate the [Minister Alexander case], but only spent so much money. You must have underreported a lot of accounts! "


    ����


    ??Luo An''s hand holding the wine glass trembled, his eyelids twitched, and he was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.


    ??The meaning of Trick''s words is not difficult to understand. Luo An only reported a small amount of expenses, which will definitely attract the attention and dissatisfaction of the other twelve investigation teams and superiors:


    ?Everyone takes it, but you don��t. What do you mean?


    ?Thinking of the well-known "revolving door of politics and business" in the Federation, Luo An secretly sighed:


    ??As expected of a capitalist country, people like these in the headquarters are making money legally.


    ?Trick reached out and patted Luo An on the shoulder and said with a smile:


    ��The accounts you reported are probably missing about $300,000. Like other investigation teams, Mr. Clement and I have helped you make up for it.��


    ??Luo An was silent for a few seconds without saying anything. He picked up the wine glass, touched it with Trick, and asked:


    ��I am transferred to the headquarters, who is my superior?��


    ��The Minister of Crime, Cyber, Response and Services, named Stacey, is 48 years old. You don��t have to worry.��


    ?Trick took a deep breath of the cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said:


    ��Verenice, who is from the FBI New York branch and the team leader of the same department, will be transferred to the headquarters in half a month due to her rich work experience.


    ?Her position is Minister Stacy��s work assistant, responsible for the handover of the work of the No. 12 and No. 13 Investigation Teams. "


    From a nominal point of view, Luo An is still just the leader of the investigation team, and his level is still a supervisory special agent. His job level has not been improved, and his work content has not changed. He is still investigating and handling cases.


    However, the head of the investigation team at the headquarters is definitely different from the leader of the investigation team at the branch.


    Each local branch of the FBI, under the crime, network, response and services department, has established multiple departments according to different types of work, such as the Criminal Investigation Department, the Major Matters Response Team, the Internet Department, the International Operations Department, and the Victim Services Department.


    But at the FBI headquarters in Washington, under the criminal, cyber, response and services divisions, there are only twelve...thirteen investigative teams, not those divisions.


    ??Moreover, the investigation scope of these investigation teams has also expanded from cities and states to Washington, D.C., and the entire federal government!


    A flash of light flashed in Luo An''s eyes, he suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, and then asked:


    ��Sir, what will happen to the case-handling funds that were originally handled by the special investigation team after they are transferred to the headquarters?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 535： After dinner, Luo An hugged the pillow and Veranith

    Chapter 535 Dinner is over, Luo An hugs the pillow, and Veranith


    The word "special" in front of the special investigation team includes many things.


    ?For example, the priority level of case handling, cooperation methods with other departments, contact methods, case handling methods, etc. are all very different from the previous numbered investigation teams.


    Simply put, it means high priority, great power, and self-contained.


    ?Except Luo An, the leaders of the other nine special investigation teams were previously the leaders of the frontline investigation teams in each city.


    ?Having worked for many years, they know very well how to "reasonably use" the power of the leader of the special investigation team to seek their own interests.


    ?This is also one of the reasons why the headquarters decided to cancel the establishment of special investigation teams, because there are FBI branches in several cities, and some special investigation team leaders have created a mess.


    ??Luo An is different. He is not particularly interested in power matters, but simply likes to make money. Therefore, the political situation of the FBI''s Los Angeles branch has always been stable.


    ??Luo An asked about the case-handling funds of the Special Investigation Team, which is also one of the "specials" that the Special Investigation Team has, that is, the Special Investigation Team has the power to handle the money on its own.


    As for Luo An��s investigation team, the money has accumulated to 5.34 million US dollars.


    If the headquarters��


    ?While Luo An was thinking, Trick Kennedy put down his wine glass, waved his hand and said:


    ��The money isn��t much, you can just handle it yourself.��


    ?Trick-Kennedy said that the Chicago Special Investigation Team only had US$200,000 in its fund account, and the Atlanta Special Investigation Team, the richest, had only US$560,000 in its fund account when it was dealt with due to some matters some time ago.


    Luo An suddenly fell silent after hearing this. Among the ten special investigation team leaders, he seemed to be the only one busy making money.


    ?After a few seconds of silence, Luo An decisively chose to change the topic and talk about the matter to other aspects.


    Not long after, the servant knocked on the door to indicate the start of dinner, and Luo An and Trick left the study and walked to the dining room.


    ??Mona and Ms. Mi Qila had a very happy chat. The four of them enjoyed some sumptuous dinner in the restaurant. After the meal, they rested and chatted for a while. Luo An and Mona got up and left the villa.


    ?Roan and Mona both drank some wine tonight. The driver of Trick''s family was in charge of driving. He sent them back to the hotel, and the driver returned to Trick''s villa.


    Returning to the hotel room, Mona finished washing, lay on the bed and fell asleep soon after.


    ?? After washing briefly, Luo An poured a glass of ice water, looked at the scenery outside the window, sat on a chair and fell into deep thought.


    When Robert Kennedy Jr. appeared in the study room before, the "emotional perception" in Luo An''s mind found that the other person''s emotions were very contradictory, including admiration and disgust, goodwill and struggle, as if he was hesitating about something.


    ?Trick Kennedy''s mood was the same. Facing Luo An, while he admired and had a good impression, he was also hesitant about something.


    When his father Robert Kennedy Jr. appeared, Trick was slightly excited. When he left the villa, Trick was relieved on the surface, but his actual mood was very sad.


    ?Luo An frowned slightly. He remembered that in his previous life, during the epidemic, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his participation in the federal presidential election as a Democratic Party.


    He advocates policies such as ��opposing hegemonism, attacking the rich, restoring the federal middle class, seeking peace, and eliminating the ��carefully planned�� hatred between various camps and races in the federation.��


    This resulted in very low votes for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., not even as good as a certain female writer.


    Robert Kennedy Jr. is a person who likes to do practical things. This kind of person is not popular in the liberal democratic federation, because as long as he does practical things, he will definitely offend some people or organizations.


    ?President John F. Kennedy also liked practical things at the time, such as nationalizing the Federal Reserve Bank of America, conducting flexible diplomacy with certain countries, and improving people''s insurance interests.


    Then it was gone.


    ??Because the May Fed, which has caused trouble all over the world, is not a federal government agency, but a private organization with the power of printing and issuing currency, bankers from several large families who rely on the financial market to compete with the federal government.


    President John F. Kennedy wanted to nationalize it��


    Luo An doesn��t know yet what the Kennedy family��s thoughts are.


    Mr. Clement must have had his own plans when he transferred himself to the headquarters.


    Luo An needs to carefully consider and plan how much benefit he can get from it.


    The situation at the FBI''s Washington headquarters is far different from that of local branches. There are more and greater opportunities, interests, benefits, etc., but there is also no shortage of traps, temptations, etc.


    ?Luo An tilted his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��It seems that more preparations need to be made in the future...��


    .


    Just when Luo An was thinking, Mona suddenly came from behind and hugged him, put her chin on Luo An''s shoulder, and asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"


    Roan put back the thoughts in his mind, turned around and kissed Mona''s pretty face, and asked with a smile:


    "I was thinking, weren''t you asleep just now? Why did you wake up? Did you have a nightmare?"


    ��I didn��t have any nightmares.��


    ??Mona yawned and rubbed her hair against Luo An''s ear:


    ��I woke up just to find that you were not in bed.��


    ��Wow, am I sleeping pills?��


    ��No, you are a pillow.��


    ��How does it feel to hold this pillow?��


    ??Mona pinched Luo An''s face gently and said with a smile:


    ��It feels average, but I��m used to it and don��t want to get a new one.��


    ��Have you ever thought about changing to a new one?!��


    Hearing this, Luo An suddenly became "livid" and turned around and rushed towards Mona:


    ��Don��t run away, you��ve been riding the pillow for the past few days, it��s time to change it tonight!��


    On the other side, in the distance, New York, a high-end apartment.


    In the huge, bright and empty living room, Veranith was wearing a light-colored pajamas and sitting on the sofa. Her long, white legs were exposed from her pajamas. She was holding a glass of red wine in her right hand and looking down at the documents in her left hand. His expression was complicated.


    ?The contents of the document were issued by the FBI''s Washington headquarters, requiring Veranith to take up a post at the headquarters in half a month.


    When she first received this document, Veranith was very surprised because she had not heard any news about it.


    ?Perplexed, she called Mr. Clement. Mr. Clement said that the order was a temporary decision because Veranith and Roan were the most familiar.


    Mr. Clement��s tone on the phone was very serious:


    ��The special investigation team led by Luo An has a case detection rate of 100%! Do you know what this means?��


    ��It means that Luo An is very good, and the special investigation team he leads is far superior to those in some investigation teams at the headquarters.��


    ?Thinking of Mr. Clement��s words on the phone, Veranith raised her head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. A few drops of red liquid dripped onto her chest, slid down and slowly disappeared.


    Snapped-


    After finishing the drink, Veranith threw the cup aside and looked at the document in her hand, her eyes sparkling.


    ?Veranith always thought that she would enter the Washington headquarters first, and then she would find a way to transfer Luo An to her staff.


    ??Unexpectedly, Luo An actually entered the Washington headquarters first, and because of Luo An, he was transferred to the headquarters.


    The sequence of events cannot be said to be somewhat different, it can only be said that Veranith never imagined it in her wildest dreams.


    ��Roan-Greenwood, Roan-Greenwood����


    Thinking of the scene when Luo An and he first met, the serial murder case that was broadcast live, and some subsequent cases...


    Veranith took a deep breath, took off her pajamas and walked into the shower room. She used ice water to suppress the restlessness in her heart. Then she walked into the bedroom and lay down on the bed to prepare for sleep.


    The work content, interpersonal relationships, interests of all parties, etc. of the FBI''s Washington headquarters are far more complicated than those of the local branches. Veranith plans to spend the next few days sorting out relevant information.


    In the next few days, everyone in the special investigation team still rested, went shopping, drank, and had fun.


    As expected by Luo An, Lacey was discharged from the hospital two weeks later and headed to Washington, D.C. She didn��t find a hotel, but stayed in the same room with Michelle.


    On Sunday, Roan, Mona and Lacey agreed to go to New York together to have dinner with Ryder and others from Investigation Team 5.


    ?Halfway through the drive, Mona��s cell phone suddenly rang.

 Chapter 536： Caroline moves to Commonwealth to live with Mona Roan

    Chapter 536 Caroline moves to the Federation to live with Mona Roan


    Washington, D.C., highway to New York.


    Hearing the phone ringing, Mona pressed the answer button:


    ��Who?��


    ��It��s me, Caroline.��


    ??A familiar female voice sounded on the phone, it was Mona''s sister, Caroline Evans, who lives in Europe.


    Hearing the woman''s laughter, Mona glanced at Luo An calmly. Luo An, who was driving, looked intently and pretended not to hear anything.


    ??When Mona faced Caroline, her tone of voice was not very good and she asked directly:


    ��Why are you calling me? My father��s hand was cut off again?��


    ��I will relay your words to my father.��


    ?Caroline on the other end of the phone chuckled lightly, stopped talking nonsense, and said:


    ��I sold the music shop and planned to leave Europe and move to the Commonwealth.


    I heard that your father bought you a house in Los Angeles, and I will temporarily live there for a while. "


    ?Mona��s eyebrows suddenly stood up:


    "I disagree!"


    "invalid objection."


    ?Caroline��s laughter on the phone was clear:


    ��Father has already given me the key to the villa. I��m just calling you to inform you, bye~��


    ??The call was hung up. Mona''s pretty face turned red and her chest heaved. She was almost furious. She immediately lowered her head and started looking for her father Javari Evans'' number on her phone.


    ? Lacey in the back seat of the car looked confused. She didn��t know Caroline��s identity and didn��t understand what happened. She could only look out the window in silence, reducing her sense of presence.


    Luo An, who was driving, looked unchanged. Hearing what Caroline meant just now, it seemed that it was their father''s intention to move from Europe to live in the Federation.


    ?After thinking for a while, Luo An slowly parked the car to the side of the road and asked Lacey to wait in the car for a while. He and Mona got out of the car together.


    ��It��s me! Mona!��


    ??Jawali Evans�� call was quickly answered, and Mona��s tone was cold and scary:


    ��What do you mean by letting Caroline come to live with me?��


    ��Don��t be angry, don��t be angry����


    ??Gyawali on the other end of the phone spoke in a friendly tone and repeatedly comforted Mona. After a few brief greetings, he said:


    ��Mona, give your phone to Luo An and I��ll tell him something.��


    ��No.��


    ?Mona thought very quickly, and she thought of something in the past few minutes, and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��Did an enemy come to visit me again? Did you arrange for Caroline to stay with me so that she could avoid trouble?��


    Luo An frowned, this was also his guess just now.


    ����As expected of my daughter, her reaction is very quick!��


    There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and Jawali''s somewhat embarrassed laughter rang out. After praising Mona for a few words, he retorted softly:


    ��I��m not really an enemy, it��s just a minor conflict. You��d better give your phone to Luo An.��


    "snort-"


    ??Mona snorted coldly. Since the situation was special, she suppressed her discomfort and handed the phone to Luo An.


    ��It��s me, Luo An.��


    ?Luo An took the phone, kicked the dirt on the ground, and asked:


    "What happened?"


    Jawali Evans on the other end of the phone chuckled and explained:


    ��Mrs. Hanover and I are currently traveling in Australia, and the day before yesterday we met a few acquaintances with whom I had a little conflict when I was young.


    Just in case, I asked Caroline to live with you for a while. "


    Luo An chuckled and asked:


    ��You are just in case, how much is it in case?


    50% or more, or 70% or more? "


    There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and Javari Evans said awkwardly:


    ��It��s low, it should be around 90%.��


    Luo An was speechless. He was silent for a few seconds and then asked:


    ��Are you sure it��s okay for Caroline to come to the Federation by herself?��


    ��Absolutely no problem with that.��


    Jawali on the other end of the phone grinned and explained in a low voice:


    ��Actually, I sent someone to secretly send Caroline to the Federation the day before yesterday. She is in Los Angeles at this time and is on her way to your villa.


    The only one left in Europe was Mrs. Hanover''s maid. "


    ��...six.��????? Luo An was speechless at Jawali''s secret move and Chen Cang''s move. While secretly feeling sorry for the old fox, he said:


    ��Mona and I are not in Los Angeles, but in Washington, D.C., and our future work location will also be in Washington, D.C. Please let Caroline come here.��


    ��What?��


    Jawali on the other end of the phone was very surprised. He just hadn''t contacted the two of them for a while. Why did Luo An go to Washington again?


    ? Luo An chuckled, briefly described what happened, and finally concluded:


    ��After solving a small case, I was recruited to the Washington headquarters.��


    ����


    Jawali, who has worked in the field for half his life and has never entered the CIA headquarters a few times, breathed slightly heavily. He was silent for a few seconds. He suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a complicated tone:


    ��I��ll call Caroline later.��


    ��OK.��


    Roan smiled and nodded, and just as he was about to return the phone to Mona, Jawali on the other end of the phone suddenly said:


    ��Wait, there��s one more thing!��


    ?Luo An made a move and took back his phone:


    "what else?"


    ��Roan, Mona is your girlfriend, do you understand?��


    ??On the phone, Javari Evans�� tone suddenly became very serious:


    ��Caroline looks a lot like Mona, but she��s not Mona!��


    We are all men, and Jawali is very worried that if Caroline and Luo An live together for a long time, something he does not want to see will happen.


    "��I know."


    ??Luo An rolled his eyes. He understood the meaning of Jawali''s words and didn''t bother to talk to him. He directly returned the phone to Mona.


    ?Mona briefly exchanged a few words with Jawali and then hung up the phone.


    The two of them walked towards the car. Luo An thought for a while and said:


    ��Tomorrow let��s go see where there is a suitable house and buy one.��


    Luo An��s original plan was to rent a house in Washington, D.C., for a period of time, and then buy it at a low price when the financial crisis broke out and high-quality properties were sold.


    The current situation is special. It is not convenient to do many things in a rental house, so the only choice is to buy a house first.


    "Um."


    ?Mona nodded heavily and said with an unhappy face:


    ��Let Caroline pay for the house!��


    Luo An glanced at her helplessly. Before he could speak, Mona suddenly reacted and frowned:


    ��No, if Caroline pays, then we will become tenants!


    ??We still have to pay for it, but Caroline can��t live in vain and leave the housekeeping work to her..."


    ? Seeing Mona counting on her fingers, Luo An was speechless, started the car and continued driving towards New York.


    ?Washington, D.C. is not far from New York, and it didn��t take long for the three of them to arrive at Ryder��s home.


    Familiar house, familiar people, familiar wine, meat and barbecue grill.


    ??Amidst the fireworks of the barbecue party, Luo An and Ryder laughed and hugged, and patted each other **** the back:


    ��We haven��t seen each other for a long time!��


    ��Yeah, yeah, you��re fat again!��


    ��Xie Te, that��s called strong!��


    ��You only have one muscle on your belly?��


    ??Roan and Ryder were sarcastically teasing each other and laughing with their beers. Not long after, Augustus and others arrived in the car. They exchanged a few words and drank meat and wine, and the atmosphere at the scene became even more lively.


    ?Mona and Lacey hugged Ryder''s wife, Yvonne, and then went into the house to eat food and chat.


    Lacey was still the same as before. After chatting with Yvonne for a while, she got up and left. She walked towards a few girls with whom she had a good relationship in the past. When Mona saw Lacey leaving, her eyes moved slightly and she put down her wine glass and moved closer to Yvonne. Asked in a low voice:


    ��Yvonne, did you have any preparations before you got pregnant?��


    Yvonne��s eyes widened immediately. She looked up and down at the moist and shiny Mona for a moment. A flash of surprise and imperceptible envy flashed in her eyes, and she began to pull her to start a small class in a low voice.


    At the same time, outside the room, several bottles of wine were consumed, and the wife and girlfriend were in the room. Women were not allowed to talk, so the conversation among these men naturally turned to work.


    ??Hearing that Luo An was transferred to work at the FBI''s Washington headquarters, everyone present was shocked. Augustus was stunned for a few seconds and burst into laughter:


    "Luo An! Well done! You are worthy of being the agent brought out by Augustus!"


    ??Everyone looked at August in silence. Ryder opened a new bottle of wine and handed it to Luo An. A group of people stood up, clinked the bottles, and loudly congratulated Luo An with smiles on their faces!

    The next day, Monday, noon, airport.


    ??The sunshine is very good today. Mona is wearing a hat with a long brim, folding her hands in front of her chest, and standing expressionlessly at a gate of the hall, waiting for someone.


    Not long after, Caroline Evans, who was fully dressed for traveling, walked out of the exit pulling a large suitcase. When she saw Mona, she waved her arms and ran towards Mona:


    ��Good afternoon, my good sister!��


    ?Caroline gave Mona a big hug. The scene of two beauties hugging always attracts attention. In addition, Mona and Caroline��s faces are very similar, and the eyes of the men nearby are full of surprise.


    "let go."


    ??Mona broke away from Caroline''s arms, gave her a cold look, did not take the other person''s luggage, turned around and walked out of the airport:


    ��Follow up.��


    ?Caroline didn��t care at all about Mona��s cold attitude, she smiled and followed closely with her luggage.


    In the parking lot, Mona walked to a white car she rented temporarily, opened the trunk, and pouted at Caroline.


    Caroline struggled to stuff the suitcase in, got into the passenger seat, looked at Mona driving, and asked curiously:


    ��Where is Luo An? Why didn��t he come? Did you two have a conflict?��


    ��Luo An has his own things to do.��


    ??Mona drove the car out of the parking lot, then took a folder from the back seat of the car and handed it to Caroline, expressionlessly saying:


    ��You must memorize the rules of shared living.��


    ��Cohousing rules?��


    Caroline opened the folder and saw some rules written in categories about the three of them living together.


    ?For example, Caroline "cannot wear short skirts or shorts; cannot expose too many body parts..." etc., which filled ten pages.


    ����


    ?Caroline smiled slightly, opened the car window and threw the folder onto the road outside.


    ?Mona looked at Caroline unhappily, and the corners of Caroline''s lips raised slightly:


    "There''s no need to be so nervous, my good sister, I have no intention of robbing you of Luo An."


    "snort-"


    ??The red light turned green, Mona started the car with a sneer and continued to drive forward. Caroline stretched her waist vigorously and asked:


    ��Where are we going?��


    ��Go buy a house.��


    ��I must buy a bigger house with good sound insulation. I don��t want to be unable to sleep at night and have dark circles under my eyes the next day because of the sound of Luo An and You����


    ��Caroline!!��


    ����


    At the same time, on the top floor of a building in Washington, DC.


    This is a high-end private restaurant that must be booked in advance to get a seat. The decoration style makes people feel like they have entered Europe in the last century.


    ??In a private room deep in the restaurant, Veranith, who was wearing a silver dress, was communicating with the waiter in French. Luo An, who was wearing a suit, was sitting opposite, boredly observing the wall lamp on the wall to the left of the two of them.


    Not long after, the waiter nodded, bent slightly towards Luo An and turned to leave. After the door closed, Veranith smiled, looked at Luo An and said softly:


    ��This restaurant��s red wine braised beef is very special.��


    ��Then I��ll have a good taste later.��


    ??Luo An smiled and started chatting with Veranith.


    After a while, the waiter brought two small appetizers and turned to leave. Luo An was not in a hurry to taste them because Veranith took out a piece of paper from the handbag on the side and handed it to him.


    ��This is the personnel and department composition of the FBI��s headquarters in Washington.��


    Veranith picked up the fork, picked up a small piece of appetizer, put it into her mouth, and explained with a smile:


    ��Here��s what you need to know if you want to work at the Washington headquarters.��


    ? Luo An looked at the information on the paper carefully. From an organizational structure point of view, the FBI Washington headquarters can be divided into two parts:


    Director��s office and functional department groups.


    The Director''s Office, including the Office of the Director of FBI Headquarters, the Office of the Deputy Director of FBI Headquarters, and the Office of the Director of FBI Headquarters, is mainly responsible for administrative work.


    In the functional department group, there are a bunch of departments, each of which is responsible for different functional tasks. Simply put, the former is responsible for politics and the latter is responsible for doing things.


    ��Mr. Clement, is the Director of Headquarters and Special Advisor to the Director.��


    Seeing Luo An thoughtful, Veranith took a sip of red wine and said softly:


    ��Some of this position is not very good.��


    ?Luo An raised his head in confusion, and Veranith''s face darkened slightly as she asked:


    ��Roan, do you think Mr. Clement has a chance to be promoted to director of FBI headquarters?��


    "impossible."


    Roan shook his head without thinking. Since the death of Edgar Hoover, the presidents and senators of the federal government have begun to suppress the FBI in unison.


    Since 1972, the term of the FBI director has been limited to 10 years, and he must be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate before he can be appointed.


    ?These are the regulations on the surface, but they also form an unwritten rule secretly:


    The director of the FBI headquarters cannot be promoted from the FBI headquarters. He must find an outsider from the Department of Justice or other departments to be parachuted in.


    ?Hence, the possibility of Mr. Clement being promoted to become FBI Director is almost zero. The most he can do is reach the position of Deputy Director of FBI headquarters.


    Thinking of this, Luo An had a guess, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked:


    ��Mr. Clement, do you want to join the Department of Justice?��


    The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Marshals Service, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) are all subordinate departments of the federal Department of Justice.


    Since the position of director of FBI headquarters has been blocked and the position of deputy director cannot be satisfied, Mr. Clement wants to continue to move up. He can only find a way to enter the Department of Justice.


    ��That��s right!��


    ?Veriness nodded and glanced at Roan appreciatively.


    ?If you want to be promoted from the FBI to the Department of Justice, there are only two ways: outstanding political performance; or someone to promote you.


    Being promoted is very common in the federation. As long as the benefits are sufficient, the president can help.


    ??Roan''s eyes moved slightly. This must be the reason why Mr. Clement always goes to the White House.


    ?However, promotion also needs to have sufficient reasons. If the work ability is excellent, the benefits paid are not enough, it is not easy to silence the opponent, and other political achievements are also required.


    For example, solving certain cases.


    Mr. Clement certainly cannot end up solving a case on his own, so he needs someone who is capable, performs well, has real talent, and can be trusted.


    The twelve investigation teams at the FBI''s Washington headquarters are all agents under the functional department of the [Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Division]. The personnel are complex and each has their own thoughts.


    Mr. Clement, who was responsible for the direction of political work, could not believe them, so the No. 13 Investigation Team led by Luo An appeared.


    ? ? Mr. Clement is promoted to the Ministry of Justice, and Luo An will naturally benefit from it. Promotion and salary increase are one aspect. There is a high probability that he will be transferred to the Ministry of Justice for reasonable reasons.


    When the time comes, he will continue to move up. He is still young, and relying on his understanding of some things... Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly. It is impossible for him to become the president, but he has a great chance to become a minister of certain departments!


    ? Luo An is not particularly keen on power, but he is very interested in money. The Federation is a capitalist country, and the "revolving door of politics and business" and "political donations" are all reasonable and legal.


    Roan quickly figured it out, and a smile flashed in his eyes. When Veranis saw this, the admiration in her eyes became more intense. The two picked up the wine glasses, clinked them, looked at each other, and laughed together:


    ��Cheers!��


    ��Cheers!��


    ??The piece of paper Veranith gave to Luo An included not only the organizational structure of the FBI''s Washington headquarters, but also the identities, work experiences, good and bad relationships, and conflicts of interest among the heads of various departments.


    ?There is almost no blatant hostility, but due to their different interests, there are many things that get in the way of each other. Veranith sorted out all this information and told it all to Luo An, hoping that he would pay more attention to it in the future.


    This piece of paper cannot be kept. After Luo An read it, he kept the information in his mind and burned it to ashes with fire.


    ??After lunch, the two walked out of the restaurant. Veranith took the first step to leave in the car. Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Mona:


    ��How does the house look?��


    ��Something happened.��


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone said in a strange tone:


    ��You need to come here quickly.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 538： [An ordinary murder case]

    Chapter 538 [An ordinary murder case]


    Washington, D.C., a medium-sized community.


    ?This community is located south of the FBI headquarters in Washington, not too far away. It is a townhouse area with middle-class residents as the main residents.


    The location where Mona and Caroline are located is a high-end villa in the community. It has bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, study rooms, and supporting facilities. There is also a large and carefully cared for lawn outside the villa. The villa is also the highest-grade in this community. That batch.


    When Luo An arrived by car, in addition to Mona who was sitting next to her silently, and Caroline who was waving to him repeatedly, there was also a female salesperson and a man in a striped suit.


    ??The man in the striped suit smiled and stretched out his hand to Luo An, introducing himself:


    ��Hello, Mr. Greenwood, my name is Kelleyd-Jax.��


    ��Hello, Mr. Jax.��


    ?Luo An stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other person and asked:


    "Who are you?"


    ��I am a friend of the owner of this villa, and this villa has been sold under my trust.��


    ??The smile on Jax��s face was very sincere and he said loudly:


    ��In addition, I also work at the FBI headquarters in Washington and have heard about Team Leader Luo An��s reputation for handling cases.


    I came over when I learned that Team Leader Luo An was planning to buy this villa. "


    ��So that��s it!��


    ? Luo An had a look of surprise on his face, and the "emotional perception" in his mind told him that the other party was telling the truth.


    ??But Luo An was still a little wary. He didn''t believe in such a coincidence.


    After a brief exchange of greetings with the other party, Luo An entered the villa and walked around a few times, indicating that he would go to other places to see, and then left the community with Mona and Caroline.


    ��This villa is very nice.��


    ?Caroline looked at the slowly retreating villa through the rearview mirror and asked doubtfully:


    ��Luo An, is there something wrong?��


    ��There��s nothing wrong with it, but I don��t like that villa.��


    ?Remembering the information about the intrigues between various departments that he had received from Veranith, Roan casually replied to Caroline, and at the same time secretly decided to go back and check on this Kelid Jax. It would never go wrong to be careful.


    A few hours later, the three of Luo An found a three-story villa of the same type in a community northwest of the FBI headquarters in Washington.


    ? It has six bedrooms and four bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a study room and other supporting facilities. The former owner was a wealthy man who got rich from stock trading. Due to losses in stocks, he is currently forced to sell the villa and collect funds from other real estate investments.


    The villa was listed for US$5.5 million. After some bargaining, the transaction price was lowered to US$5 million.


    In the federation, money can do anything, from finding a villa, buying a villa, signing property rights transfer documents, registering with the government, cleaning out old furniture and replacing them with new ones, and packing your bags to move in. The whole process took less than 10 hours. In the middle of the night, Luo An and the three of them Lived in this villa.


    ?The next morning, Luo An opened his eyes and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling in silence for a while, then realized that he had moved into a new villa.


    Because of Caroline, Roan and Mona once again slept in separate rooms.


    ??Luo An, who was used to this, finished washing and walked out of the room. Seeing that Mona and Caroline hadn''t gotten up yet, he went to the kitchen to make three breakfasts.


    ?Eat a portion for yourself, drive out and call Lacey, asking her and Michelle to help check on the Kelleyd-Jax.


    ?Four hours later, Luo An got the investigation results from the two of them. Judging from the basic information of the other party, there was nothing unusual about Kelid Jax, and nothing related to Luo An could be seen.


    But there is one thing about Kelid-Jax''s interpersonal relationship that caught Roan''s attention:


    Kellyd-Jax has a good friend named Uriah.


    ?This Uriah is the director of the Office of Professional Responsibility at the FBI''s Washington headquarters and Antoine''s secretary.


    ��An interesting coincidence.��


    ??Recalling the previous tit-for-tat scene in Mr. Clement��s office between Trick Kennedy, deputy director of the Office of Internal Threat, and Antoine, director of the Office of Professional Responsibility, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into thought.


    ����


    ??The leisure time passed in a flash. In the middle of the next month, Luo An and his team walked into an area deep on the fifth floor of the FBI headquarters in Washington, and Investigation Team No. 13 was formally established.


    This area is fully equipped with tables, chairs, computers and other facilities. In addition to the team leader''s office, interrogation room, conference room, etc., there is even a small rest area with a coffee machine, a TV, and several Small recliner.


    ?While Mona, Michelle, Lacey, Winslow, and Chenelle were sorting their personal belongings in their respective places, Veranith walked in wearing a gray and black women''s suit and sharp makeup.


    "Good morning, everyone." Veranith nodded slightly to everyone, then handed the document in her hand to Luo An, and said in a deep voice:


    ��The break is over, Investigation Team 13 needs to handle the case.��


    ��So anxious? A case comes on the first day?��


    ??Luo An took the folder handed by the other party, laughed and made a comment, lowered his head to look at the contents inside, and frowned slightly:


    ��A murder case?��


    ��That��s right, it��s a murder case.��


    Half an hour later, in a park next to the Potomac River in Washington, DC, a gray-haired park director said while walking:


    ��This morning, a couple came here for a run together.


    Halfway through the race, they decided to do some exciting activities, so they started looking for a suitable location.


    Then the two found the body in a secret corner. "


    Following the guidance of the person in charge of the park, Luo An and Winslow walked to a river in the park that was blocked by stones. On the sand and gravel on the shore, there was a body lying head down, wearing a black coat and brown pants. male corpse.


    ??The person in charge of the park pointed at the body but did not look at it. He said with an ugly face:


    ��This park is federal land, and according to regulations, the case is handled by the FBI.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Winslow put on gloves and began to inspect the condition of the body. Luo An looked around for a moment and then asked:


    ��You just said, them?��


    ��Yeah.��


    ?The park manager��s eyes flashed with disdain, but his tone did not change and he said:


    ��The couple were two men.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he said:


    ��Get them over here, I need to ask some questions.��


    "OK."


    ??The person in charge of the park nodded and turned around to look for the two startled lovers not far away. Luo An looked at Winslow and asked:


    ��How is the condition of the body?��


    ��It��s very bad. There are no relevant documents. The murderer may have taken it away.��


    Winslow took off his gloves and stood up, his expression not very good:


    ��In addition, there were blood stains and gun muzzles on the back of the body��s head.


    He should have been hit by something first, and then the murderer aimed a gun at his head and shot him twice.


    ??Because of these two shots, the victim''s face was smashed, and facial recognition may not be possible. "


    ��Hate the victim so much?��


    ?Luo An frowned slightly, looked at the time, and said:


    ��The Trace Inspection Section will be here in ten minutes. Let them go back and check the victim��s fingerprints, DNA, and conduct ballistic testing.��


    "no problem."


    Winslow nodded in agreement. At the same time, the two lovers who found the body were brought over by the park director. Luo An took out the FBI''s gold badge and simply showed his identity and asked:


    ��Did you see anyone or hear anything strange before you found the body?��


    ��No.��


    ??Two men, one wearing black and one brown sports suits, shook their heads after hearing Luo An''s question.


    The two said they came to this park for a morning run very early. There were almost no people in the park. They had only seen a few men and women who were like them, wearing sportswear and getting up early to run.


    Roan was just about to continue asking when, at this moment, Chenelle and Lacey suddenly came over from a distance and whispered in Roan''s ear:


    ��Luo An, there is a problem with the monitoring of this park.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 539： Undetectable fingerprints and DNA

    Chapter 539 Undetectable Fingerprints and DNA


    Washington, D.C., a park.


    ��Is there a problem with monitoring?��


    Luo An looked at Lacey and asked:


    "what happened?"


    ��There are several surveillance cameras at the four open entrances of the park in the southeast, northwest and northwest.��


    Lacey pointed to the body on the ground, indicating that this area was close to the west of the park, and then said:


    ��The park monitoring and management personnel said that around three o��clock this morning, two cameras in the west area were attacked by unknown objects and were damaged.��


    Winslow, who was next to him, came over, a little confused:


    ��Unidentified object? UFO?��


    ��No, it��s a stone.��


    Chenelle rolled her eyes at Winslow and said:


    ��Lacey and I just went there to take a look and found that the two surveillance cameras were smashed with rocks in the blind spot a few meters away.��


    Luo An thought for a while and asked:


    ��Does surveillance cameras being smashed happen often in this park?��


    ��No.��


    Lacie shook her head:


    ��I asked the manager of the park surveillance, and he said that the people living in the area near the park are all middle-class people, and homeless people are almost invisible. This kind of thing has happened, but not much.��


    ��A body appeared in the park, and the surveillance camera was smashed on the same day����


    ? Winslow put forward his own speculation:


    ��Could it be the murderer? Because the two surveillance cameras caught him.��


    "maybe."


    There is insufficient evidence at the moment, and Luo An has no good ideas.


    Wearing gloves, he walked over to the victim''s body and squatted down to examine it for a moment. Luo An suddenly frowned and discovered something. He slightly raised the body''s right arm and asked:


    ��Everyone, what is this? Can you recognize it?��


    Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey hurried over and followed Luo An''s guidance to look at their right arm. They found that it was a dark red pattern imprinted on the skin because it was covered up by the blood and bean curd flowing from the muzzle of the head. , very difficult to find.


    ? Winslow was the first to put forward his own guess:


    ��Is it a tattoo?��


    ��It looks like a tattoo sticker.��


    Chenelle put forward her guess. Lacey watched carefully for a long time and suddenly said:


    ��No, everyone, that seal.��


    ��Seal?��


    ? Winslow and Chenelle were stunned for a moment, and Roan quickly reacted:


    ��The kind in a bar?��


    Lacey nodded. Winslow lowered his head and stared at the dark red pattern. After a moment, he shook his head:


    ��No, it��s too covered up and I can��t see the specific pattern clearly.��


    ��So, let��s leave this work to the Trace Inspection Department at the back.��


    Luo An straightened up, put away his gloves and said:


    ��Chenelle, Lacey, you two continue to search for clues in this park and get back the previous surveillance video.


    ? Winslow, you will work with the Trace Inspection Section later. Remember to go back and get the investigation results back, especially... get back the No. 13 Investigation Team. "


    ??The name of the Special Investigation Team was already easy to pronounce, but Luo An was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden change to the No. 13 Investigation Team.


    "clear."


    "no problem!"


    ? Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey nodded in agreement and took action on their own. Roan walked out of the park and drove back to the FBI Washington headquarters.


    In the corridor, many passers-by detectives smiled and nodded at Luo An. Luo An also smiled and nodded. It was not until he entered the elevator that his expression relaxed.


    ��Luo An?��


    The elevator reached the fifth floor. As soon as Luo An walked out, he met Antoine, the director of the Office of Professional Responsibility, and his secretary.


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    Luo An glanced at the secretary calmly, stretched out his hand to shake Antoine''s hand, and the two briefly exchanged greetings before Antoine asked:


    ��Team Leader Luo An is going to handle the case?��


    ��A murder case.��


    In this building, this kind of investigation cannot be concealed at all, so Luo An spread his hands and complained:


    ��But the identity of the deceased has not been found out yet.��


    ��This kind of trivial matter is definitely not a problem for Team Leader Luo An.��


    ?Antoine smiled, then changed the topic and asked:


    ��I wonder if Team Leader Luo An is free tonight. I know a good restaurant. How about having a meal?��


    "Sorry, I''m not sure if I have time tonight." Luo An didn''t say too much, saying that he was working on a case and something might happen tonight, so he would call him then.


    ��OK.��


    ?Antoine smiled, shook hands with Luo An again, and walked into the elevator with his secretary.


    The elevator door closed. Luo An narrowed his eyes, thought for a few seconds, grinned and turned to leave. In the elevator, Antoine looked at the flashing numbers and asked:


    ��How is the investigation going?��


    ��It��s almost done.��


    The secretary nodded and whispered:


    ��Roan Greenwood has not done much in politics since he became the leader of the Special Investigation Team and is not very keen on power.


    As for women, Roan Greenwood''s private life was a bit chaotic at first when he was single. Later, he only lived with Mona Evans. "


    ��A dedicated man.��


    Minister Antoine smiled and then said:


    ��So, he likes money?��


    ??The secretary nodded and briefly described how Luo An earned funds from various places when he led the special investigation team to handle cases.


    ��Good.��


    ?A flash of light flashed in Antoine''s eyes, the air in the elevator gradually became quiet, and the two did not continue to discuss this topic.


    At the same time, deep on the fifth floor, there is the office area of ??Investigation Team No. 13.


    Luo An pushed the door open and asked directly:


    ��Mona, did you find anything from the surveillance near the crime scene?��


    ��Unfortunately, there is nothing.��


    ??Mona pushed the table with her hand, and the chair under her **** suddenly spun in a circle. She put her chin on her hand and replied:


    ��Not only was the murderer not seen, but the victim was also not detected by the surveillance cameras near the park.��


    Michelle next to him nodded and added:


    ��It gave the impression that the victim suddenly appeared and died in the park.��


    ��Then let��s wait for the test results from the Trace Inspection Department first.��


    ??Luo An unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and drank it into his stomach, then wiped his mouth and briefly talked about the seal found on the arm of the corpse, and said:


    ��Mona, Michelle, you two will check the bars in the area near the park where the crime occurred to see which bar still has the habit of stamping, sort them out in advance, and save them for subsequent comparison.��


    Speaking of this, Luo An paused, suddenly remembered the lunch he had with Veranith before, and added:


    ��In addition, try to check some private parties, clubs, restaurants, etc.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona and Michelle nodded in agreement, moved their chairs and started typing on the keyboard.


    ?Luo An pushed the door open and walked into the team leader''s office. The case had come in a hurry, and the computers, desks, chairs, documents, etc. in the team leader''s office had not yet been sorted out.


    ?A few hours passed, at 1:30 in the afternoon, Winslow held a folder and pushed the door open and walked into the No. 13 Investigation Team:


    ��Everyone, I��m back!��


    In the office area, Lacey sat in a chair and spun around, pointing at the food on Winslow��s table and smiling:


    ��Winslow, if you come back a few minutes later, I will finish your lunch for you.��


    Winslow handed the folder to Mona, picked up the warm lunch on the table and smiled:


    ��It seems that I came back at just the right time.��


    ??Luo An also heard Winslow��s loud voice, walked out of the team leader��s office, and asked:


    ��How are the results from the Trace Inspection Department?��


    ��The autopsy results showed that the direct cause of death of the victim was the two gunshot wounds to the back of the head.��


    ??Mona opened the folder, frowned slightly, and said:


    ��Ballistic testing showed that what killed the victim was a new black gun that had no record of existence.


    The DNA comparison and fingerprint comparison yielded no results, and the identity of the victim could not be found.


    ??His face was also smashed, making it impossible to perform facial recognition.


    The only thing the trace examination department can confirm is that genetic testing shows that the victim has one-eighth German ancestry. "


    ��There are no clues in DNA or fingerprints?��


    After listening to Mona��s narration, Lacey��s eyes suddenly widened. Chenelle frowned and looked at Winslow. Winslow spread his hands and had nothing to say. Michelle thought for a while and said:


    ��So, today��s victim has never been caught by law enforcement for a crime?��


    Luo An thought for a few seconds and said:


    ��Besides this, there is another possibility.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 540： A clean victim

    Chapter 540 The Clean Victim


    The FBI''s internal database can only find the fingerprints and DNA of people who have been imprisoned for crimes and who have undergone relevant tests.


    ? ? Ordinary people who have never been arrested by law enforcement agencies for crimes and have not undergone relevant tests, whether it is the FBI or other law enforcement agencies, have a very difficult time finding each other for the first time.


    Hearing Roan mention another possibility, Michelle and Winslow were all stunned for a moment. Chenelle and Lacey were the first to react and frowned:


    ��You mean, there��s a problem with the victim��s identity?��


    ?Mona also thought of this, suddenly became a little excited, and guessed:


    ��Is the victim��s information deliberately hidden by a certain department or some people?��


    ?Thinking of Mona��s habit of using computers to hack into various department systems, Luo An twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hands and said:


    ��Don��t worry about it for now, Mona. Is there any information about the seal in the folder?��


    ?Mona lowered her head:


    "I am searching."


    ��On the last page.��


    Winslow, who was next to him, suddenly raised his hand and said:


    ��The trace examination department used some reagents that I couldn��t understand to restore the pattern on the victim��s arm.


    ?It was a red heart with two small horns on top. There were two designed artistic letters in the heart, which looked like a K and an S. "


    ??Mona turned the paper in the folder to the last page, looked at the pattern photo on it and pursed her lips. Roan turned his eyes to Michelle, who said in the distance:


    ��Sorry, Mona and I found a lot of bars that stamped people, but none of them had a similar pattern.��


    ��What about private parties, clubs, restaurants?��


    ??Mona closed the folder, raised her head and replied:


    ��We can��t find some private organizations, and those we can find don��t have similar patterns.��


    ? Winslow and Lacey had a flash of disappointment in their eyes. Chenelle was silent. Mona put the folder aside and whispered eagerly:


    ��Luo An, do you want me to...��


    ��You wait a moment.��


    Seeing Mona eager to use the computer to invade, Luo An felt a little headache and helpless.


    ?Hand waved her to wait a moment, Luo An walked into the team leader''s office with the folder and called Veranith.


    After listening to Luo An��s description, Veranith on the other end of the phone immediately agreed to help with the investigation.


    ?Less than twenty minutes later, the phone rang again, Luo An pressed the answer button, and Veranith said:


    ��I found out that it was the logo of a private club in the southern part of the SAR.


    I just contacted the person in charge of that club. They intercepted part of the surveillance. You can just send someone there to get it back. "


    Luo An smiled when he heard this:


    ��Thank you, sir.��


    "You''re welcome."


    Veranith on the other end of the phone crossed her legs, smiled, and said softly:


    ��Luo An, this is the first case handled by Investigation Team No. 13. We must work hard to investigate.


    If you encounter any problems, remember to call me or Mr. Clement in time. "


    "I see."


    Roan understood the subtext of "the thighs are always there" in Veranith''s words, and immediately agreed with a smile.


    Hang up the phone, Luo An walked out of the office, handed the folder to Mona, and said:


    "The source of the seal has been found out. Chenille, Lacey, and you two go to this location in the south of the Special Zone to get the surveillance camera back."


    ��OK.��


    Chenelle and Lacey looked at Roan in surprise, nodded and agreed to leave immediately. Winslow and Michelle were also a little surprised. Only Mona sighed and her typing on the keyboard became a little weaker.


    Forty minutes later, Chenelle and Lacey quickly returned to the office area holding a laptop.


    ??Lacie handed the computer to Mona. Mona operated it briefly and soon played the surveillance video given by the club leader.


    The surveillance video was very short, less than thirty seconds, and there was only one scene in the screen, which seemed to be at the gate.


    Winslow frowned slightly and asked in a low voice:


    ��Lacie, what kind of club is that?��


    ��I don��t know, we didn��t go into the club.��


    Chenelle looked normal, while Lacey''s face looked a little strange and she whispered:


    ��But judging from my experience, I��m afraid it��s quite interesting in that club.��


    ��Bullshit.��


    Winslow rolled his eyes at Lacey. Roan next to him frowned slightly when he saw Lacey hesitated and asked:


    ��Lacie, what did you find?��


    "Uh..." Lacey was silent for a moment, pulled Luo An to the side where no one was, and whispered:


    ��Luo An, do you remember the disappearance case we first cooperated to investigate?��


    Luo An thought for a while and asked:


    ��You are talking about Sabina (Chapter 20), the case where the husband and wife each played their own game.��


    Lacie nodded and whispered:


    ��The private club Chenelle and I just went to has the same smell as the entertainment center Sabina went to.��


    ����


    Thinking of the entertainment center that was full of music, chaotic play between men and women, and full of toys and whips, Luo An was silent for a while and asked a question:


    ��You just said that you and Chenelle didn��t enter the private club?��


    ��Trust me, Roan, I��m not talking about smell, I��m talking about atmosphere.��


    Lacie put her hands on her hips, looked serious, and said with some pride:


    ��I have been to many venues over the years and have a lot of experience. Chenelle can never compare to me in this regard.��


    ��Six.��


    ??Luo An was speechless and didn''t know what to say, so he patted Lacey on the shoulder. Just in the distance, Mona loudly expressed that she had discovered something, and the two hurriedly walked over.


    ��This is the sports car the victim drove that night.��


    ??Mona adjusted the position of the surveillance video a few times, and the scene showed the victim driving outside the club gate and handing the car keys to the doorman.


    ��I checked the information about the sports car and it came from a car rental company.��


    Mona��s fingers were typing rapidly on the keyboard, her eyes getting brighter. Finally, a picture of a man��s head suddenly popped up on the computer screen, and she said with a smile:


    ��He was the one who rented the car, Nokwijk-Prague!��


    ��Well done!��


    ?Luo An praised Mona loudly and then asked:


    ��What does this guy do?��


    ��I don��t know, but it must be private work.��


    Michelle next to her knocked on the computer keyboard a few times and added:


    ��Norkwick-Bragg, 40 years old, has a wife, no children, and lives in an ordinary community in northeast Washington, DC.


    ? There is no work record, but his bank account has regular deposit and withdrawal records, and the money is not much each time, just under the red line that will be investigated by the IRS. "


    ?Luo An then asked:


    ��What about the criminal record?��


    ��As clean as a piece of white paper.��


    Mona''s fingers flew on the keyboard for a few seconds, looking at the information she found, and said meaningfully:


    ��A man who lived forty years without even a speeding ticket or a record of running a red light.��


    ��It��s really rare for federal residents to abide by the law.��


    A flash of light flashed in Luo An''s eyes, and he patted Cheniel on the shoulder:


    ��Chenelle, come with me to talk to the widow of Mr. Nokwick-Bragg.


    ?Winslow, Lacey, Mona, Michelle, please investigate where Nokwick went after leaving the club last night and who he came into contact with. "


    "clear!"


    ����


    As the center of federal politics, Washington, D.C.��s economic and cultural level is at the forefront of the entire federation, as is its consumption level. Ordinary people living here are under great pressure.


    ???In the northeast of Washington, D.C., in a community mainly populated by ordinary residents, Luo An and Chenelle rang the doorbell of a small red apartment.


    Soon, a female voice sounded from the apartment:


    ��Who?��


    ��Hello, FBI.��


    ?Luo An took out the FBI golden badge in his pocket and shook it. There was silence in the apartment for a few seconds, and the door slowly opened.


    ??A white woman in dark blue clothes, brown hair, who looked to be in her thirties, gestured sideways for the two of them to enter the room, and asked at the same time:


    "Come in, do you have anything to do with me? Or do you want to find Nokwick? My husband is not here. He has received an order and gone out of town these days."


    Roan and Cheniel looked at each other and asked:


    ��Excuse me, what is Mr. Nokwick��s job?��


    ��He is a taxi driver.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 541： spy? Letting go? Arrests!

    Chapter 541 Spy? Letting go? Arrests!


    "impossible!"


    In the small apartment, his wife Ma Jinli saw the photo in the screenshot of the surveillance video, threw it back on the table, shook her head and said loudly:


    ��Impossible! He is definitely not my husband Nokwick!��


    ??Luo An glanced at Chenier and said nothing. Chenier moved her chair to sit next to Ma Jinli and asked in a low voice:


    ��Ma Jinli, have you had any contact with your husband in the past eight hours?��


    ��No, but every once in a while Nokwick would go out and drive for people to make money.


    Because we are worried about being charged money in the middle, we basically don��t make phone calls. This has happened many times, and I��m used to it...��


    As she spoke, Ma Jinli��s voice became softer and softer, and her eyes became redder and redder. Finally, her voice slowly stopped, and she covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly.


    ??Luo An poured a glass of water and pushed it to the other party. Chenier gently patted Maggie''s back and comforted her in a low voice:


    ��I know this must be hard for you, I��m sorry...��


    ?As time passed by, Ma Jinli��s mood gradually stabilized, and Cheniel continued to ask:


    ��Does Nokwick have any enemies?��


    ��I don��t know, he��s just a taxi driver����


    ?Ma Jinli picked up the photo again, looked at the familiar face of the man in the photo, and kept repeating a few sentences.


    Luo An whispered:


    ��Ms. Makinli, the best way to find out who killed your husband is for you to tell us all the information you know.��


    ??Ma Jinli''s mouth moved slightly when she heard this, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped. Seeing this, Luo An took the tissue and put it in front of her, and then added:


    ��Ms. Makinli, we are on the same side as you in finding the murderer.��


    ?After a long silence, Ma Jinli picked up a tissue and wiped her tears, and said with a choked voice:


    "I...I sometimes did suspect that Nokwick had a secret, but I didn''t intend to ask, because I could see that his secret had nothing to do with women, and he didn''t find another woman..."


    Chenelle patted Maggie''s back gently and asked:


    ��What��s the secret? Can you tell us?��


    ����Norkwick would sometimes hide money, in the basement.��


    ?Ma Jinli had an ugly smile on her face and explained:


    "There is a safe that he hid there. Nokwick always thought that I didn''t know about it. In fact, I was just too lazy to expose him."


    ��OK.��


    Luo An nodded:


    ��Can we check the safe? There may be some clues in it.��


    ?Ma Jinli nodded:


    ��Yes, but I don��t know the password.��


    Half an hour later, the trace inspection detective who was called by Luo An took out some professional equipment and quickly opened the safe behind the basement wall.


    ��A very high-end safe.��


    The agent from the Trace Inspection Section smiled at Luo An:


    ��But it doesn��t seem to fit well with a taxi driver.��


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ?Luo An patted the other party''s shoulder, and Chenelle opened the door of the safe and started to take things out.


    "what is inside?"


    ��Dollar dollars, euros, pounds��each bundle is about 10,000 yuan.��


    Chenelle put aside a dozen piles of money and complained:


    ��We didn��t find a spy, did we?��


    ��For a spy, there must be something like a passport or a weapon.��


    ?Luo An picked up the coins, looked at them casually, and asked:


    ��Is there anything else in the safe?��


    ��There is also a locked metal box.��


    Chenelle handed the box to Luo An, bent down to look at the contents of the safe, stood up and shook her head:


    "Gone."


    ��OK.��


    Outside the metal box, there was a small lock, the most common on the market. The agent from the Trace Inspection Section was just about to get the tools, but Luo An had already used the wire he found to open the lock in twos and twos.


    The agent from the Trace Inspection Section froze on the spot and looked at Luo An in surprise. Luo An handed the lock to his hand and smiled, then opened the metal box.


    ?Chenelle stretched her neck and looked inside the box, only to find that there was only a mobile phone, a key, and nothing else.


    ����


    Chenelle picked up the key and looked at it. She was silent for a few seconds and said:


    ��Why do you feel like we are playing a problem-solving game? What treasure chest does this key allow us to find next?��


    ��Maybe, maybe there will be some big rewards in the treasure chest.��


    Luo An replied casually, picked up the mobile phone in the box and looked at it. After pondering for a few seconds, he led people to clean up the scene and drove back to Investigation Team No. 13.


    "Winslow, Lacey, you two go check this key and see if you can find out anything."


    Back in the office area, Luo An handed the keys to Winslow and Lacey, then handed the phone to Mona and said: "This is up to you."


    "no problem."


    ??Mona took the phone, plugged in the data cable and connected it to the computer. Roan and Chenelle sat next to them to rest. As soon as they picked up the food and took a few bites, Mona said:


    ��Everyone, there is so much information in this mobile phone.��


    ?Luo An took a bite of his burger and moved his chair to Mona:


    "How to say?"


    ��The first is the memo. The owner of this mobile phone actually kept an account book in the memo.��


    ?Mona showed the computer screen to Luo An. It was full of digital records of income and expenses. It took a long time to scroll down to reach the end.


    ��The most recent record was three days ago, with an income of +10,000.��


    Luo An took a closer look and saw that there were only income and expenses in the account book. There were no specific reasons, and the source and whereabouts of the money could not be seen at all.


    Chenelle glanced briefly and looked away, then asked:


    ��Besides this account book, are there any other clues?��


    ��At 8:30 this morning, someone sent a text message to the owner of this phone.��


    ?Mona typed on the keyboard a few times, and a text message appeared in front of the two of them:


    ��Areyoughostingme? (Are you letting me go?)��


    After seeing the content of the text message clearly, Chenier became energetic and said:


    ��The time of death of the victim Nokvik was early this morning. The person who sent this text message seems not to know about it!��


    Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��Mona, can you find out who sent this text message?��


    ��Can��t find it.��


    ??Mona shook her head, pointed at her laptop and said:


    ��The other party��s number is not registered, and the GPS is not turned on. The only thing that is certain is that when the other party sent this text message, the base station that received the signal was in the west of Washington, D.C., and the other party should be in Washington, D.C.��


    ? Chenier frowned slightly when she heard this and looked at Luo An:


    "what to do?"


    Luo An thought for a while and said in a deep voice:


    ��Send a text message and answer that person! Agree on a meeting place and time, and let��s catch some fish!��


    "no problem."


    Chenelle picked up the phone and asked:


    ��Where is the appointment?��


    ��Make an appointment in a place with few surveillance and not too many people.��


    ?Luo An thought for a while and gave an address:


    ��Garfield Park.��


    Chenier thought about the habit of texting and chatting between Nokwick and her that she had seen on Maginli��s phone before. She disguised her typing method and sent the time and place.


    ?Time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the office area was very solemn.


    A few people were staring at their mobile phones closely. Except for the sound of Mona typing on the keyboard to locate the other party, Roan was silent with his arms folded on his chest. Michelle and Chenelle''s breathing became much quieter.


    Ding dong��


    Suddenly, a text message rang. Chenier quickly picked up her phone to check, and saw a message from the person opposite:


    ��OK��


    ��Yes!��


    Chenelle and Michelle were immediately excited, clapped each other''s palms and shouted. Roan looked at Mona and asked:


    ��Have you located that person?��


    ?Mona shook her head:


    "Time is too short."


    ��Then prepare weapons.��


    ?Luo An patted Cheney on the shoulder and said:


    ��Send a message to Winslow and Lacey, and in three hours we will go to Garfield Park to arrest someone!��


    "clear!"


    ����


    Three hours passed in a flash, Garfield Park.


    ?Roan, Chenelle, Winslow and Lacey dressed as ordinary people, hanging out or chatting with passers-by. Mona and Michelle sat in a car, connected to the computer to monitor the situation.


    Not long after, a man wearing a brown jacket came into view. The man paused for a moment, then turned around and ran away!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 542： Real and fake contacts, arrest, identity

    Chapter 542: Real and fake contacts, arrest, identity


    Washington, D.C., Garfield Park, 6:30 pm.


    ?Roan, Chenelle, Winslow and Lacey, like the passers-by who were strolling, chatting and jogging, were dressed in ordinary clothes and eating and drinking with casually bought snacks in their hands.


    Suddenly, a white man with short red hair and a brown jacket came into view.


    The man walked to the meeting place mentioned in the previous message, looked around briefly, and within five seconds, suddenly turned around and ran away!


    ��Fu-k!��


    Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey, who were calmly surrounding the meeting place, cursed when they saw this scene and hurriedly chased after the man:


    ��Don��t run!��


    ��Stop!��


    ??The man in the brown jacket ran very fast, and there were a lot of passers-by in the park. He pushed down several passers-by as obstacles while running, and managed to escape from the encirclement of Winslow, Chenelle, and Lacey.


    ?Passers-by at the scene looked confused and didn��t understand what was happening. While they screamed out in surprise, in line with the rule of life in the Federation and not to meddle in other people��s business, they all hurried to the side to make way for the running people.


    Because he was worried about accidental injury and it was temporarily inconvenient to fire, Lacey immediately shouted and ran to the side:


    ��I��m going to the left!��


    ��Leave it to us on the right side!��


    Chenelle and Winslow replied quickly, then ran quickly to the right, preparing to block the escape route of the man in the brown jacket.


    ?In a car not far away, Mona and Michelle, who were in charge of observation and surveillance, heard what Lacey described about the scene and prepared to get out of the car and go to help.


    ?At this moment, Luo An��s order suddenly sounded from the communicator in the ears of the two of them:


    ��Mona, Michelle, go to the rockery on your right!��


    ??The rockery is not far from the car, but it is not at all on the same route as the escaping man in the jacket. It can even be said to be completely opposite.


    ??The two women who had just gotten out of the car looked at each other with surprise and confusion on their faces, but now was not the time to have questions. They all quickly turned around and ran according to Luo An''s order.


    In the huge park, Lacey, Winslow, and Chenelle chased the man in the brown jacket all the way south; Michelle and Mona quickly headed toward the rockery in the opposite north.


    As the team leader, Luo An was walking leisurely towards the road in front of the rockery.


    There were many passers-by there at this time. Most of them took one look at Luo An and withdrew their gaze. One of the men in sportswear turned to look at Luo An. Luo An immediately waved to him with a smile on his face. smile.


    ����


    A flash of surprise flashed through the man in sportswear, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. He naturally looked away from Luo An, then turned around and left.


    The man in sportswear walked at a natural speed and posture, but he kept looking at Luo An behind him from the corner of his eye.


    ?Seeing Luo An following him steadily, getting faster and faster, and getting closer and closer to him, the man in sportswear''s face instantly darkened, and he quickly accelerated his speed.


    ?After walking around a corner, the man in sportswear saw Mona and Michelle running in this direction not far away. His face suddenly became even more ugly, and he pretended to turn around and walk to another path.


    ?At this moment, a hand suddenly placed on the shoulder of the man in sportswear, startling him.


    Luo An, the owner of the palm, chuckled and asked:


    ��Hello, I have something I want to talk to you about.��


    ??Is this guy so fast? Why did he run up behind me? !


    ??The man in sportswear took a breath to suppress the shock in his heart, and asked in a calm tone:


    ��Did you find the wrong person?��


    While speaking, the man in sportswear flashed his eyes, turned around quickly, and made a palm with his right hand, preparing to grab the hand on his shoulder, using the force to press and capture the man behind him, take away the opponent''s weapon, and then between the two Before a woman runs here, leave here quickly!


    The plan was formulated by the man in sportswear in the blink of an eye, and the man in sportswear was not flustered. He has experienced many similar things, but they all ended in his success. He has enough experience, and today will be no exception.


    ?The moment he grabbed the palm of his shoulder, the man in sportswear raised the corner of his mouth and turned around a few minutes faster. It only took a few seconds for his plan to succeed!


    The man in sportswear who turned around suddenly stopped and froze on the spot. Because a black hole of gun muzzle appeared in front of him.


    Men in sportswear: ������


    ??Luo An held up the Glock 18 in his hand, with a bright smile on his face, and asked:


    ��What do you want to do?��


    I*#%��


    For a moment, the man in sportswear was filled with greetings to Luo An, but he was not panicked yet, he just pretended to be frightened:


    "I should be asking you this! What do you want to do? I have money in my pocket! I can give it all to you!"


    At the same time as he spoke, the man in sportswear calculated the running speed of the two women and determined that they should be very close to here, so he suddenly reached out and grabbed the pistol in front of him, preparing to **** the weapon away from them before he could knock them down and leave. this area.


    score


    ?The next second, when the man in sportswear stretched out his hand, Luo An was faster than him and punched the opponent in the stomach.


    The moment the man in sportswear fell backward due to the uncontrollable force, Luo An took out the handcuffs from his waist and cuffed the opponent''s right hand, raised his foot to wrap around the opponent and forced him to fall to the ground, and cuffed the other handcuff to the opponent''s left hand and knee. Pressing behind the man, he firmly controlled him and laid him on the ground.


    ??The whole process was concise and fast. Mona and Michelle, who were running towards here not far away, had wide eyes. The two women felt that they just blinked before Luo An locked a man on the ground.


    ??The man in sportswear who was pressed to the ground was even more shocked. He struggled wildly in disbelief and yelled:


    ��Damn it! Who are you? Just wait! I��m going to find someone to complain about you!*#%����


    A few seconds later, Mona and Michelle finally ran here. The two women calmed their breathing a little. Mona asked first:


    ��Who is this guy?��


    ��The name is unknown.��


    Luo An smiled and pressed the opponent so hard that he couldn''t move, and replied:


    ��But he was the real target of our text messages.��


    From the moment he came to this park, Luo An has always turned on the "emotional perception" in his mind. The previous improvement in perception distance allowed Luo An to always check the situation near the scene while wandering around.


    ??When the man in the brown jacket appeared, Luo An found that the other man''s mood was only confusion and nervousness, which was definitely not the emotion that a contact person should have.


    After the opponent ran, Winslow and others quickly followed. Most of the passers-by were panicked and confused. Only the man in sportswear near the rockery did not panic at all, and even had a "sure enough" mood.


    ??So Luo An turned his attention to the man in sportswear. The man''s expression was normal but his mood swings were very intense, which was obviously abnormal.


    Coupled with the fact that the man in the brown jacket was in a bad mood, Luo An immediately guessed that the man in the sportswear was probably just a bait prepared by the man in sportswear, mainly to test whether the situation at the joint was safe.


    Sure enough, as soon as Mona and Michelle pulled the man in sportswear up from the ground, Lacey''s somewhat frustrated voice sounded from the communicator in the ears of the three of them:


    ��Team leader! The three of us have caught him, but he is just making extra money!


    ??Someone gave him three hundred dollars and asked him to come and go to that street spot for a few seconds and then run away. The person who gave him the money hid his appearance, and this guy didn''t know who the other person was! "


    ??Luo An bent over to examine the man in sportswear, found a pistol from his pocket, and at the same time answered Lacey with a smile:


    ��It doesn��t matter, I��ve caught the person who gave him the money.��


    ��What?��


    Lacey, Winslow and Chenie on the other end of the communicator were suddenly surprised, but Luo An didn''t explain much and just ordered them to take people to the car first.


    Turning off the communicator, Luo An shook the pistol he found from the other party and said with a smile:


    ��Are you going to keep pretending to be stupid?��


    The man in sportswear stared at Luo An for a long time and said:


    ��I want to see your superior!��


    ��Tell me who you are first.��


    ����IamUSSS! (I��m from the Federal Secret Service!)��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 543： Identity, $1 million entry case

    Chapter 543: Identity, $1 million case


    Federal Secret Service, United States Secret Service, abbreviated as USSS.


    This department is affiliated with the federal Department of Homeland Security. Its employees are divided into special agents and uniformed departments. It is mainly responsible for the prevention and investigation of counterfeiting of U.S. dollars, Treasury bonds, and other notes, as well as the protection of the federal president, vice president, and their families.


    Forty minutes later, in the conference room of Investigation Team 13, Roan and Veranith were sitting on the center chair, Winslow and Chenelle were standing behind them, and opposite the four of them sat an expressionless sportsman. Pretending to be a man.


    ??Mona''s laptop was placed in front of Luo An and Veranith on the conference table, and the identity information of a man in sportswear was displayed on the screen.


    ��Alejo-Moore.��


    ?Luo An looked at some of the information that could be found on the other party and said with a smile:


    ��A rare name.��


    Alejo ignored Roan. He turned his eyes to Verenis and said:


    "I will not answer any of your questions until my immediate superior comes."


    The makeup on Verenis''s face was very cold, and it felt even colder when her face was expressionless. She opened a folder and threw it to Alejo opposite:


    ��This is an order signed to you by the commander directly above you.��


    Alejo is just an ordinary senior agent in the USSS (Secret Service).


    ?His superior was the agent team leader, but Veranith didn��t have the other party��s contact information, so she directly called the agent team leader��s superior, a certain director.


    Alejo: ������


    ?Seeing the person opposite holding the document, his face flushed, and his mouth opening and closing several times without knowing what to say, Luo An grinned, picked up the coffee pot and filled the coffee cup in front of Veranith.


    The thighs beside him are not only long, white and eye-catching, but also never fall off the chain at critical moments, which is really impressive.


    Alejo looked down at the folder and was silent for a long time, then raised his head and asked:


    ����What do you want to know?��


    Veranith turned her attention to Luo An, who found the photo of the victim Nokvik and handed it to him and asked:


    ��Is he from your Secret Service?��


    ��NO.��


    Alejo shook his head and replied:


    ��Norkwick had participated in the review and training of the Secret Service before, but failed to persist to the end, so he changed his job and became an informant for our Secret Service.��


    ��Who is Nokwick��s superior? Are you responsible for liaising with him?��


    ��To be more specific, it��s been me in the past five years.��


    Alejo licked his chapped lips and replied:


    ��His original supervisor was promoted within the Secret Service, so Nokwick was transferred to my staff.��


    ?Thinking of the safe he found earlier, Luo An asked:


    ��The money in the safe comes from your Secret Service?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Alejo nodded:


    ��Norkwick is a very good informant, which is why his previous contact was able to solve so many cases and advance so quickly.


    Because of this, Nokwick has always received the highest-level informant fees. "


    ��OK.��


    Winslow, who was next to him, thought for a while and then asked:


    ��So, Nokwick was killed because his identity as an informant was exposed?��


    The word informant is often combined with "informant", "betrayer", etc. in the federal cultural station, and the identity is very unpopular.


    ??Norkwick was an excellent informant who made a lot of money in this capacity. There was no telling how many people wanted to kill him.


    ��It��s possible.��


    ??Luo An nodded, looked at Alejo, and said:


    ��The question now is what exactly Nokwick was investigating before he was killed.��


    ?Seeing Luo An��s gaze, Alejo was silent for a moment, with a gloomy face, and replied:


    ��Sorry, I don��t know.��


    ��What?��


    "I really do not know."


    Alejo looked very unhappy and explained:


    "A month ago, Nokwick contacted me and said that he had discovered a big case, but he needed some funds to investigate the case. He didn''t have enough money, so he asked me to borrow some."


    ��Approximately how much?�� ????��...$600,000.��


    Seeing that Winslow and the two looked at him slightly strangely, Alejo quickly explained:


    ��That��s my own money! I��ve saved it over the years!��


    ??Norkwick approached him before and said that as long as he solved this case, he could make a lot of money, and Alejo would definitely be promoted.


    Alejo pondered for a while. Considering that Nokvik had almost no mistakes in so many years and was extremely reliable, he finally agreed and lent the other party the funds a week ago.


    ?In addition to Alejo��s $600,000, Nokwick himself spent a large portion of the informant fees he had saved over the years, nearly $400,000.


    The two together spent nearly 1 million US dollars, just to solve the big case that Nokwick said.


    ?Winslow looked at Alejo with disbelief:


    ��You took such a large amount of money, 600,000 US dollars! But you don��t know what case Nokwick is investigating?��


    "I really do not know!"


    ?Seeing that Winslow doubted himself, Alejo suddenly had veins bulging out, his face became as ugly as possible, and he said:


    ��After Nokwick got the $600,000, I lost contact with him!


    During this week, I have paid attention to the situation of Nokwick''s wife, Maginli! Prevent her from leaving the Federation!


    Last night, Nokwick finally sent me a message and agreed to meet me at a certain place.


    But I waited for a long time and didn��t get to Nokvik, so I sent him a message to ask about the situation..."


    Winslow and Chenelle looked at each other with suspicion on their faces. They still didn��t quite believe Alejo��s explanation. Alejo was so anxious that he was restless and his face turned red.


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes, picked up the coffee and took a sip.


    ?Through "emotional perception", Luo An determined that the other party was telling the truth. After thinking for a moment, he figured out the entire incident:


    A month ago, Nokwick discovered a big case but was unable to investigate it due to lack of money, so he found Alejo.


    ?Because of the large amount, Alejo thought for a long time before agreeing to Nokvik a week ago


    After receiving the money, Nokwick told his wife Maginli that he was going out to drive for someone, but he was actually going to investigate the case. Makinli and Alejo lost contact with Nokwick from then on.


    Last night, Nokwick, who had been out of contact for a long time, sent a message. It may be that he found some clues, or it may be for other reasons. In short, he asked to meet with Alejo.


    ?But Alejo waited in vain for several hours, because Nokwick was killed in a park next to the Potomac River in the early morning.


    ��A case that requires US$1 million to be eligible for admission for investigation����


    ??Luo An put down his coffee cup with a strange look in his eyes, and waved his hands to let Winslow and Chenelle take Alejo out of the conference room.


    ?The door to the conference room was closed, and Veranith''s tense and cold face slowly softened, and she asked softly:


    ��Luo An, what do you think?��


    ��The case is a bit complicated.��


    Roan spread his hands, the private club that Lacey and Chenelle couldn''t enter, the one million dollar "case handling fund", and Nokwick''s lifeless death, all of which revealed the circumstances behind this matter. Unusual.


    How to investigate is Luo An��s job, but should we continue the investigation...


    ??Luo An picked up the coffee pot again, filled Veranith''s coffee cup, and then looked at the other person''s mature face, silently.


    From the perspective of political performance, Luo An guessed that Veranith would not give up this case because she and Mr. Clement needed more credit and interpersonal relationships.


    As expected, after pondering for a while, Veranith stood up and said seriously:


    ��Luo An, this case is handed over to you.��


    ??Luo An nodded, and before he could speak, Veranith whispered in Luo An''s ear:


    ��Mr. Clement was invited to Mr. President��s dinner a few days ago. If you encounter any problems, remember to call.��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    Luo An suddenly laughed, thought for a moment, and said:


    ��Sir, it��s not convenient for us to investigate that private club.��


    ��I��ll handle it.��


    ?Vereniss nodded slightly to Luo An, put away the folder and left Investigation Team No. 13.


    The door closed, Mona looked up and looked at Luo An:


    ��What do we do next?��


    Luo An pointed at the clock on the wall and said with a smile:


    ��It��s time to get off work, go home!��

 Chapter 544： Investigation direction, informant’s informant

    Chapter 544 Investigation direction, informant��s informant


    FBI headquarters in Washington, a villa in a community on the northwest side.


    ?At eight o''clock in the evening, Roan and Mona returned to the villa. Caroline, who was wearing long sleeves and long trousers, yawned and walked downstairs:


    ��Good evening, you two.��


    "Um."


    ??Mona replied casually, put on the slippers Luo An handed her, and walked into the kitchen to prepare food.


    ??Roan nodded towards Caroline. He was planning to go upstairs and enter the room to change clothes, but suddenly he found a large object in the corner room:


    ��Caroline, what did you buy?��


    Caroline poured herself a glass of juice, took a sip and replied with a smile:


    ��I bought a new grand piano, and the workers just brought it in this afternoon.��


    ����


    Roan''s eyelids twitched and he was too lazy to speak. He returned to the room to change clothes. Mona in the kitchen inserted the knife into the cutting board with a bang and glared at Caroline:


    ��Hey, we agreed before that that room should be used as a gym!��


    ��That room is very big. Even if there is a grand piano, the remaining space is enough for you to put fitness equipment.��


    Caroline held the juice in her left hand, leaned lazily at the door of the kitchen, and said with a smile:


    ��You both have jobs and have something to do during the day.


    I have no job and am bored at home, so I had to buy some music equipment to pass the time. "


    ?Caroline actually guessed the reason why Javari Evans sent her to the Federation.


    In order to avoid causing trouble to Roan and Mona, Caroline has basically never left the villa since she moved into it. The furthest distance she has walked is the gate at the end of the lawn outside the villa.


    Roan and Mona also designed and installed some monitoring, defense, and emergency contact devices around the villa, just in case.


    "snort."


    ??Mona glanced at the other person, turned around and continued to prepare the food. Roan changed his clothes and came down to help. Caroline stood aside and started to cheer for the two of them.


    ?Caroline''s cooking skills are astounding. The first time she entered the kitchen, she made a pot of indescribable yellow paste for the two of them. From then on, Roan and Mona never let her enter the kitchen again.


    Soon, the dinner was finished. Caroline had a small appetite, so she put down the tableware after eating a little, walked into the room not far away, and started to tidy up the large grand piano.


    ��Caroline!��


    ?Luo An swallowed the beef in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and asked loudly:


    ��Have you contacted your father these days?��


    ?Mona rarely called Gyawali, while contact between Caroline and Gyawali was frequent.


    ��Contact me!��


    ?Caroline in the room replied:


    "I called. My father is visiting Australia with Mrs. Hanover these days."


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An turned his eyes to Mona, who pretended not to care, but actually pricked up her ears. He chuckled, picked up the tableware and continued to taste the steak.


    Not long after, Roan and Mona finished their dinner, and the task of clearing the dishes was handed over to Caroline. They chatted for a while and each went back to their respective rooms, without talking for the rest of the night.


    The next day, FBI Washington headquarters, office area of ??Investigation Team 13.


    "Good morning everyone."


    Luo An walked out of the team leader''s office, reached out and knocked on the huge whiteboard hanging on the wall at the front of the office area, and said:


    ��Regarding this park homicide, we have two goals to investigate next:


    First, find the murderer of the victim Nokwick.


    Second, find out what case the victim Nokwick was investigating during his lifetime. "


    Winslow and Chenelle nodded in unison. Lacey swallowed the breakfast in her mouth and asked:


    ��Where do we investigate next?��


    Luo An asked back:


    ��How are you doing with the key you found in the box in Nokwick?��


    "not so good."


    ??Lacie finished the breakfast in her hands in two bites, picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp. She took a deep breath and said:


    ��Winslow and I asked a lock company, and they said that it comes with a key and is the most common lock on the market.


    ??It can be sold in any hardware store, and there are no less than a few thousand people using it in Washington, DC. In addition, there is no need to register to buy and sell it. You can just sell it for money, and it is impossible to find out which lock it is equipped with. "


    After Lacey finished explaining, everyone looked at each other helplessly.


    ?Now they have the key, but they can��t find which lock it opens.


    ��When watching the surveillance video before, Mona found out that the sports car driven by Nokwick was rented from a car rental company.��


    Luo An pondered for a few seconds, pointed to the laptop on Mona''s desk, and said: "Winslow, Lacey, go to that car rental company and investigate.


    Let''s see if there are any clues there. Also, remember to get back the personal information that Nokwick left when renting that car! "


    "clear!"


    ?Winslow and Lacey nodded in response, stood up and...picked up the unfinished breakfast on the table, ate it and left the office area.


    ��Mona, Michelle, please investigate Nokwick��s economic situation and consumption information, etc., and see if there are any clues.��


    "OK."


    Mona and Michelle began to work with their heads down. Roan then looked at Chenelle and said:


    ��Chenelle, bring Alejo from the USSS (Secret Service) here. I have something to ask him.��


    ��OK.��


    An hour later, Alejo and Cheniel walked into the conference room again.


    "good morning."


    ��Good morning, Team Leader Luo An.��


    ??Luo An stretched out his hand and shook it with the smiling Alejo. He didn''t quite understand why the other person''s attitude changed so much today.


    Alejo did not hide it, saying that he briefly asked about Luo An��s work history yesterday.


    Seeing the 100% case detection rate of the special investigation team led by Luo An, Alejo was stunned and couldn''t believe it. He carefully read it several times to make sure that he had read it correctly. Alejo was filled with admiration, and then his eyes became extremely bright. .


    ?The reason is simple. Nokwick was killed, and Alejo was worried about what to do with his $600,000.


    ��Since Team Leader Luo An is taking the lead, I believe this case will be investigated clearly.��


    ??Alejo grabbed Luo An''s hand and shook it repeatedly. The expression on his face was very sincere, as sincere as he wanted.


    ����


    Roan pulled his hand out of Alejo''s hand speechlessly, and asked directly without any nonsense:


    ��Alejo, Nokwick is your informant, do you know anything else about him?��


    "for example?"


    ��Such as the source of his weapons, his consumption habits, where he often goes, and other similar information.��


    Alejo now had almost nothing to say to Roan. He thought for a long time and said:


    ��When investigating a certain case before, Nokwick said that he had an informant who had a good relationship with him, and Nokwick got a lot of information from that informant.��


    ��Informant��s informant����


    There was a strange flash in Cheniel''s eyes, and Luo An asked:


    ��What��s that informant��s name? What does he do?��


    ��The name seems to be Behrend.��


    ??Alejo frowned and lowered his head to try to recall the conversation at that time. Suddenly he clapped his hands and raised his head, his eyes lit up and he replied:


    ��He works in a maintenance company and is an electrician by profession!��


    ?Ten minutes later, Mona found Nokwick��s informant. She pointed to the information on the computer and introduced:


    ��Behrend, 49 years old, single, has little savings, likes to drink, and basically spends his earned wages on women on the street.


    Because he was not paid for the concert and got into a fight with someone while drunk, he was imprisoned at the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. three days ago and is still there. "


    ������x3


    Michelle, Alejo, and Cheniel were speechless, and Roan raised the corner of his mouth:


    ��How can the Metropolitan Police accuse him of singing without giving him any money? Chenille, come with me. Let��s go to the police station and have a chat with this talented person.��


    "no problem!"


    ?? Metropolitan Police Department, Roan and Chenelle took out their FBI golden badges and soon saw Behrend in a corner interrogation room.


    ��FBI?��


    ?Hearing the identities of Luo An and Cheniel, Behrend sat on a chair with surprise written on his face:


    ��I just had a fight and had no money to pay for it. Why are you FBI looking for me? Is that guy dead?��


    ��It has nothing to do with your fight.��


    Roan pushed the photo of Nokvik and the key to him. Behrend''s pupils shrank when he saw the photo clearly.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 545： Clues to the Key, Night Watcher

    Chapter 545: Clues to the Key, Night Watcher


    Roan, who was keenly observant, saw the change in Behrend''s eyes, smiled, and said:


    ��It seems you know something.��


    Because he had been imprisoned for several days, there was still wine, body odor, vomit, etc. on his body, which made Behrend''s body smell very complicated. When he heard Luo An''s words, he frowned slightly, scratched his scalp, and a stream of snowflakes fell, and asked road:


    ��What��s wrong with Kevin?��


    ?Kevin?


    Roan and Chenier looked at each other, noticed the problem in each other''s words, and asked calmly:


    "he died."


    ��What was the cause of death?��


    ��Mr. Behrend, we are interrogating you now.��


    ?Luo An lightly tapped the table and pretended to be unhappy:


    ��Do you know what��s going on with this key?��


    ��I know, but I don��t want to tell you.��


    ?Berend grinned, revealing a pair of slightly messy yellowed teeth:


    "Unless you help me give the guy who was beaten a sum of money and let him drop the lawsuit against me."


    ��You are too greedy, Mr. Behrend.��


    Chenier��s face was slightly cold, Luo An chuckled, leaned back and crossed his legs:


    ��It��s just a piece of news, not worth the price.��


    ��Then what do you give in exchange?��


    ��A cleaner cell, a clean set of shirts, and a chance to take a shower.��


    ����not enough, plus three packs of cigarettes.��


    ��A pack.��


    ��Two packs.��


    ��Half a bag.��


    ???��


    ��Five roots.��


    ��Half a bag! Just half a bag! Deal!��


    Seeing that Luo An was talking less and less, Behrend was stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped and agreed.


    Chenelle glanced at Luo An with a funny look in her eyes, and gave him a thumbs up calmly. The cold expression on her face did not change. She opened the small notebook and said in a deep voice:


    ��Say it.��


    ��Kevin is a friend I met while taking a taxi. We have a good relationship. He often drives me to...well, meet women for drinks.��


    Seeing that he almost admitted the crime, Behrend quickly changed his words. Luo An knocked on the table and said seriously:


    ��We��re not interested in your lower body, tell me about the key.��


    ��That��s the key to a rental warehouse!��


    ?Berend breathed a sigh of relief and said:


    ��One time Kevin and I went out drinking, and Kevin��s key was broken. I asked someone to fix it for him.��


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction:


    ��Where is that warehouse?��


    ��I don��t know exactly where it is, but I know that the warehouse company is in the northwest of the District!��


    ����


    Warehouse company, a specialty industry that exists in the Federation.


    Because most federal people live in rented houses and have trouble moving every time; or the houses they buy are small and there is no place to store items, warehouse companies choose to build a group of warehouses on a certain piece of land and rent them out for people to use to make profits, while people Use fixed warehouses to store things.


    There are two warehouse rental companies in northwest Washington, D.C. The first one failed to find a target, so Roan and Chenelle drove to the second company.


    ??At the gate outside the warehouse area, Luo An and Chenelle had just stepped out of the car when they heard a fierce quarrel not far away.


    Walking around the corner, I found that the two parties involved in the argument were a man in a suit and two white women who looked to be in their thirties.


    ?Hands and ears were red, and he was shouting at the top of his lungs. Every sentence was inseparable from words starting with "F".


    ��Hello, FBI.��


    Chenier took out a golden badge to show her identity, temporarily interrupting the quarrel. The man in the suit took a deep breath, quickly smiled at Chenier, and asked:


    "Is there a problem?"


    Chenelle handed him the search warrant, then showed him Nokwick''s identity information and said:


    ��We need to check the warehouse he rents here.��


    "no problem!"


    ? ?The man in a suit was the manager of this warehouse. He quickly walked into the office not far away, found the warehouse that Nokwick rented, took Roan and Cheniel over and opened it with the key. The warehouse here is similar to a container. The moment the door was opened, Chenelle immediately walked in with a flashlight.


    Not far away, two middle-aged women came over angrily again. The manager cursed a few times in a low voice. Luo An asked:


    ��What��s going on with you?��


    ��Their father is dead and they insist that I killed him. He deserves to die����


    ??The manager''s expression was ugly, indicating that the fathers of the two women across from him had previously worked in this warehouse area and were responsible for keeping watch, monitoring surveillance, and ensuring the safety of this warehouse area.


    Early yesterday morning, the fathers of two women died suddenly of a heart attack. Their company has decided to pay each other a sum of money.


    But the two daughters were very dissatisfied, saying that their father was exhausted from staying up late for a long time, and asked the company to pay more compensation.


    Roan''s face changed slightly when he heard this. He thought of something. Before he could ask, Chenier suddenly walked out of the warehouse with a very ugly face:


    ��Luo An, we are late.��


    ?At this time, Cheniel had found the lamp in the warehouse and turned it on. The interior of the warehouse was very clear under the light.


    The warehouse is not big. There is a folding bed and a suit in the corner, and there are a few unopened bottles of water and bread on the ground in the middle.


    ??The most eye-catching thing is that the entire wall on the right side of the warehouse is covered with a lot of tape. Luo An can tell at a glance that many photos have been posted here.


    But now all those photos have disappeared, and there are only a few scattered corner fragments stuck to the tape, swaying in the wind.


    "Norkwick should have rested here. The photos on the wall should be the information that Norkwick investigated."


    Wearing gloves, Cheniel picked up a bottle of mining water on the ground and said with a gloomy face:


    ��But they were all torn to pieces and carried away.


    I suspect that the person who came here before us was the guy who killed Nokwick in the park! "


    ��Call the Trace Inspection Department and ask them to come here to detect fingerprints and other clues!��


    ?Luo An pondered for a few seconds and moved his eyes away from the tape on the wall. After Cheniel responded to the order, he immediately walked out of the warehouse.


    ��I told you, the money you want is absolutely impossible!��


    ��Your company is a bunch of vampires! Disgusting vampires!��


    "damn it��"


    Not far away, the manager was still arguing with the two women. When he saw Luo An, the manager who couldn''t quarrel with the two women hurriedly ran towards him, preparing to use Luo An''s identity to temporarily avoid the confrontation.


    ��Mr. Manager, I have something to ask you.��


    ?Luo An grabbed the manager who was about to hide behind him and said with a serious face:


    ��You said their father��s death time was early yesterday morning?��


    The manager was stunned for a moment, nodded and replied:


    ��That��s right.��


    ��What��s the specific time?��


    "have no idea."


    ��The cause of death was heart disease? Are you sure?��


    ��That��s what the company said. They said the autopsy results were like this. That��s all I know.��


    ��Do you have surveillance here? How are the surveillance equipment and videos like now?��


    ��The surveillance equipment is all normal now. It was just that it broke down for a few hours yesterday, and there was a period of missing surveillance video. This kind of thing is not uncommon, and it has happened in the past..."


    While the two were talking, two middle-aged women, because of Luo An''s FBI status, stood aside and stared at the manager with suppressed temper.


    ??The more the manager answered, the colder Luo An''s face became. At the end of the sentence, the manager also reacted. His heart went crazy. He swallowed and asked tentatively:


    ��Mr. FBI, are you saying that there is something wrong with their father��s death?��


    The two women were also attracted by the conversation between Luo An and the manager, and looked at each other with surprise on their faces.


    ??They actually just wanted to get more money during this trip. Now it seems that their father''s death may really be a problem?


    ��You go get the surveillance.��


    ??Luo An did not answer the manager''s question, but asked him to get the monitoring equipment, and asked Chenelle to follow him closely. Then Luo An walked aside, took out his mobile phone and called Mona.


    ��It��s me, Luo An.��


    Luo An told the name of the night watchman in the warehouse, as well as the information that he had two daughters, and said:


    ��Mona, can you find out the real cause of death? Or do another autopsy on him?��


    There was a burst of rapid typing on the keyboard on the other end of the phone, and soon Mona took a breath:


    ��Luo An, the night watchman was cremated within 10 hours after his death was confirmed!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 546： Keys and locks, temporary workers

    Chapter 546 Keys and Locks, Temporary Workers


    Washington, D.C., a warehouse rental company in northwest Washington, D.C.


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone frowned, and Luo An in the warehouse was silent for a moment, walked up to two middle-aged women not far away, and asked about their fathers.


    ��Father was cremated?! How come we didn��t know?��


    The two middle-aged women looked at each other with astonishment and shook their heads:


    ��Impossible, you are absolutely mistaken about this.��


    Luo An asked without arguing with the two women opposite:


    ��Where is your father��s body now?��


    The woman on the left replied:


    ��In the morgue of Maria Hospital.��


    Upon hearing this, Luo An immediately picked up his cell phone and ordered:


    ��Mona, Michelle, you should go to Maria Hospital now to investigate the procedures for cremation of corpses and other information.��


    "no problem!"


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone nodded, patted Michelle on the shoulder, covered the computer, got up and walked out quickly:


    ��Let��s set out now!��


    After hanging up the phone, Luo An suggested that the two middle-aged women go to Maria Hospital to see if the corpse in the morgue was their father.


    But the two women looked at each other and took a few small steps back. They began to suspect that Luo An and the manager were in the same group, and these words were just to deceive them.


    ����


    ??Luo An rolled his eyes. He had no time to argue with the two middle-aged women. He stopped talking nonsense when he couldn''t make sense. He put away his mobile phone and walked to the monitoring room not far away.


    When the two women saw this, they lowered their heads and discussed for a few seconds. Finally, they decided that one would go to the hospital and the other would stay and wait here.


    ?At the same time, Luo An quickly entered the control room and asked directly:


    ��How��s it going, Chenelle?��


    ��The surveillance shows signs of being compromised.��


    Chenelle looked gloomy, looked away from the computer, and said:


    ��I can��t find the surveillance footage from yesterday morning on my computer, and there��s no backup either.


    I checked the hardware facilities here and found that the old hard drive was taken away and the new hard drive is now working. "


    ?While speaking, Cheniel turned her eyes to the manager standing next to her. The manager was startled and waved his hands repeatedly:


    ��I really don��t know what��s going on! If the Night Watchman hadn��t died, I would rarely come here!��


    With "Emotional Perception" turned on, Luo An was sure that the manager was telling the truth. Looking at the old monitoring equipment in front of him, he put his chin on his hand and frowned slightly in silence.


    Chenelle pushed the manager out of the room, then walked to Luo An and whispered:


    ��Luo An, the surveillance camera was taken away, and the night watchman was cremated not long after his death. The person behind this incident����


    ��The person behind it is definitely not an ordinary person.��


    ??Luo An''s eyes flashed with a faint light, and he smiled slightly, preparing to leave the house.


    At this moment, on the table next to him, the lock that the manager had just cut off with pliers and used to lock the door of the warehouse where the photos were taken suddenly caught Luo An''s attention.


    It was 2006, and the warehouse of this warehouse company still used metal drop-down doors. There was an iron ring on the ground that was imprisoned by cement. Warehouse tenants needed to buy their own locks to lock the doors.


    ??Picked up the lock and looked at it, Luo An''s face changed slightly, and Chenelle looked confused:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��There��s something wrong with the lock.��


    ? Luo An has some knowledge about sliding door lock picking... and using technical means to open locks.


    The keys may look the same in appearance and color, but the length, thickness, and distance of the tooth marks are actually different.


    Before getting the key, Luo An had carefully observed the tooth marks on it and deduced the lock it belonged to and what shape the lock core should be.


    ?Before going to the warehouse company, Luo An asked Chenelle to keep the key with her just in case.


    ??When searching for the warehouse just now, the manager saw the search warrant and took out the pliers without giving the two men a chance to use the key.


    ��The cylinder of this lock does not match that key.��


    Luo An picked up a thin wire, inserted it into the lock from behind and poked it a few times. Then he pulled out the wire and threw it aside. He handed it to Chenier with his right hand and frowned:


    ��Give me the key.��


    "Forehead��"


    Chenelle doubtfully took out the key from her pocket and handed it to Luo An. Luo An took the key and inserted it into the lock. After inserting it halfway, he couldn''t insert it anymore.


    ��Sure enough.��


    Luo An grinned, handed the half-inserted and half-exposed key and lock to Cheniel, and said with a smile: "This key is not used to open the lock on the warehouse door."


    Chenelle looked at the lock and key in her hand with a look of astonishment on her face. She really didn��t expect that Luo An had this kind of ability and was so meticulous in his observation.


    Suppressing the shock in her heart, Cheniel raised her head and frowned:


    ��But there are no locked items in that warehouse.��


    Speaking, Cheniel''s face suddenly changed, another guess came to her mind, and she lost her voice:


    ��Luo An, the items that should be opened with this key will not be taken away like the photos on the wall of that warehouse, right?!��


    ��It��s not impossible.��


    ??Luo An''s eyelids twitched and he nodded silently. Chenier''s face became even more ugly, and she couldn''t help but whisper a few greetings starting with "F".


    ��But there is another possibility.��


    After thinking for a long time, Luo An suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up. He quickly walked out of the room and pulled the manager over, asking:


    ��Mr. Manager, what is the name of the tenant of Warehouse No. 636?��


    Warehouse No. 636 is the same warehouse where the lock was opened and the photos inside were taken away.


    ??The manager sat next to the computer and found out the information about the warehouse tenants. At the same time, he took out the information about Nokwijk Bragg that Luo An had just handed him and compared it:


    ��Prague, that��s the last name of the owner of this warehouse.��


    ��Where��s Nokwick?��


    ? Chenier also realized something at this time, her eyes lit up and she quickly asked:


    ��Have you ever registered a warehouse rental using the name Nokwick?��


    "I am searching��"


    ?The manager carefully browsed through the search for a moment, pointed to the information he found, and said:


    ��For people with the same name, the other person is a woman.��


    A basin of cold water fell, and the excitement in Cheniel''s eyes disappeared.


    ?She raised her head and looked at Luo An. Luo An''s expression remained unchanged. After thinking for a while, he said another name:


    ��Find another guy named Kevin, Kevin Heyman.��


    ?Kevin Hyman, when the two of them interrogated the guy who found a woman without paying him in the Metropolitan Police Department, the other party gave him the false name that the informant Nokwick Bragg used to disguise himself.


    ��Kevin Heyman����


    ??The manager repeated the name in a low voice, slowly tapped the keyboard, and entered the letters into the system page one by one.


    ?A few seconds passed and the computer page flickered. The manager��s eyes lit up and he nodded:


    ��There is a record of this Kevin Heyman in the system!


    He has a warehouse that he has rented for more than ten years in another warehouse area of ??our company in Northeast Washington! "


    ��Good!��


    Hearing this, Chenier raised her eyebrows and clapped her hands. Luo An chuckled and asked:


    ��What��s the warehouse number?��


    ��193!��


    ?Twenty minutes later, agents from the Trace Inspection Section arrived at the warehouse area and began processing the traces inside Warehouse No. 636.


    ?Roan and Chenelle exchanged brief greetings with them and then drove to the location of Warehouse 193 in Northeast Washington.


    ??The distance between the two warehouse areas is not that far. As Cheniel drove forward, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang:


    ��It��s me, Mona.��


    Mona on the other end of the phone sounded slightly unhappy. A woman��s loud yelling echoed in the background. She whispered:


    ��Roan, Michelle and I are at Maria Hospital now, and the night watchman was indeed cremated.


    The place that originally belonged to him in the morgue was a patient who had been dead for a long time and had no relatives.


    ??The explanation given by the hospital was that a temporary worker made a mistake. He mistakenly looked at the numbers of the patient and the night watchman in the morgue. "


    ��Temporary workers����


    Hearing this word, Luo An had a flash of ridicule in his eyes and asked:


    ��Where is the temporary worker now?��


    ��He has been expelled from the hospital... Do you want to investigate his information?��


    ��Just conduct a simple investigation, and then focus more time and attention on the people in charge of these things in the hospital.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Hang up the phone, Chenier, who was driving, was about to ask, but before she could speak, Luo An''s cell phone rang again.

 Chapter 547： Clues from all sides, cases investigated during the deceased’s lifetime

    Chapter 547: Clues from all sides, cases investigated during the deceased��s lifetime


    In the fast-moving car, Luo An gave Chenelle a look and pressed the answer button.


    ��Roan, it��s me, Lacey.��


    ??A familiar female voice sounded on the phone, Lacey said:


    ��Winslow and I found some interesting clues at that car rental company.��


    "for example?"


    ��Like the name Nokwijk-Prague.��


    ?In a car in the distance, Lacey looked at the paper in her hand and said:


    ��When Nockwick-Bragg rented the car, he used the name Luthur Field and identified himself as a wealthy man from Hawaii.


    besides��"


    ��Wait a minute, Lacey.��


    Looking at the warehouse area that was about to arrive not far away, Luo An interrupted Lacey��s words and said:


    ��You and Winslow return to the investigation team with clues first, and we will discuss it together when we return.��


    ��OK.��


    Lacey on the other end of the phone immediately nodded in agreement. Roan hung up the phone, walked out of the car with Chenelle, took out the FBI''s golden badge, and soon headed to Warehouse 193 under the leadership of the person in charge.


    ??At the door of the warehouse, under Cheniel''s nervous gaze, Luo An took out the key, bent down, and inserted the key into the lock.


    Click!


    With a slight turn, the crisp sound of unlocking sounded. Luo An chuckled. Chenie immediately reached out and gave a thumbs up to Luo An, her eyebrows raised and her eyes lit up.


    ??Luo An stood up, and the metal rolling shutter door was suddenly pulled open by him. A complex smell of long-term air stagnation rushed out along with dust.


    ? After taking a few steps back, Luo An and Cheniel waved their hands to blow away the dust, waited for a moment, turned on the flashlight, and walked into the warehouse.


    ?This warehouse is very large, and the first thing you see is a parked orange taxi.


    ������x2


    ?Finding the switch and turning on the lights, Luo An and Chenelle quickly looked away from the taxi and began to carefully search the situation in the warehouse.


    There are many and miscellaneous items in the warehouse, including clothes, pants, papers, folding beds, whiteboards, food, etc.


    Roan and Chenier quickly figured out that this was most likely the place where Nokwick-Brag would stay when he was working as an informant, and would stay when searching for and organizing clues after leaving home.


    ��Luo An, I found a notebook.��


    Soon, Chenelle found a hidden book behind a desk. She turned around to look for Luo An and found that Luo An was sitting in the taxi, flipping through something.


    ��It��s some photos and documents.��


    ? Feeling Cheniel approaching, Luo An raised his head with a smile and handed the thing in his hand to her:


    ��The case Nokwick investigated this time is indeed very interesting.��


    ����


    At 2:30 pm, the office area of ??Investigation Team No. 13.


    ? Luo An walked out of the team leader''s office, and Michelle was distributing coffee, cakes and other food to the agents one by one.


    After a short rest, everyone finished eating. Luo An picked up a napkin to wipe his hands. He first looked at Mona and Michelle and asked:


    ��Mona, how is your investigation going?��


    ��The survey results cannot be said to be perfect, they can only be said to be almost useless.��


    ??Mona sighed with helplessness, opened her laptop, and said:


    ��The surveillance in the hospital was bad. The patient who was supposed to be cremated was replaced by a night watchman, and was sent directly to the cremation site without inspection or cleaning.


    ?There are many problems in the whole process, such as some people not checking the list, not confirming their identity, etc.


    ??But the patient had no family or friends, and he didn��t pay for the cremation. His cremation was a charity, so many people didn��t even bother to check, and the prescribed procedures were just for show, so..."


    ��So this matter cannot continue to be investigated. There are problems with everyone in the whole process.��


    ?Luo An nodded and accepted Mona��s words:


    ��In a word, all the fault comes from the temporary worker, right?��


    ��That��s right, that��s what a hospital means.��


    ??Mona had a flash of ridicule in her eyes, and then said:


    "Michelle and I also went to investigate the fired temporary worker. He was very angry and said that he definitely did not remember the number wrong at the time. He also followed the number when pushing the body. He did nothing wrong." ????? Lacey Swallowing the coffee in his mouth, he sneered and said:


    ��There is a high probability that someone exchanged the numbers of the two corpses without the temporary worker knowing. The temporary worker is just a scapegoat who knows nothing.��


    ?Michelle nodded, Mona spread her hands, they had the same idea.


    ? Luo An picked up the whiteboard pen and wrote the information "hospital" and "temporary workers" on the whiteboard, and then looked at Lacey:


    ��Lessie, Winslow, what clues did you find?��


    ��The first thing is the name. When Nockwick rented the sports car, he used the pseudonym Luthur Field.��


    Lacey continued to eat without saying anything. Seeing this, Winslow picked up the folder on the table and introduced:


    ��We looked up Luthur Field and found out he was a real person in the world, not much older than Nokwick.��


    "Wow."


    ? Chenier was a little surprised:


    "Is Nokwick so brave? Isn''t he afraid of having his identity revealed?"


    ��I��m afraid Nokwick really isn��t worried about this.��


    ?Winslow took out the information he found and handed it to everyone, explaining:


    ��Although Luthul Field was a wealthy man, most of his assets came from inheritance from the previous generation.


    He himself prefers traveling and adventure. The company has been handed over to professional managers, and not many people have actually met him. "


    ��SIX.��


    Luo An took the paper and looked at it, then asked:


    ��Is there any more?��


    "certainly."


    Winslow nodded and continued:


    ��According to Luthul Field��s name, Lacey and I found the hotel where he lived.


    During the hotel investigation, we learned that Nokwick had contacted a testing agency and spent a sum of money to have the other party test something. Lacey and I have not yet found out the specific items that were tested. "


    ��Good.��


    ??Roan nodded with satisfaction, wrote the false identity of "Lutehul Field", and the information about "hotel" and "testing agency" on the whiteboard one by one, and finally turned his attention to Chenille.


    Chenier nodded, stood up and distributed the document bag she had been holding for a long time to everyone. Luo An stood in front of the whiteboard, posted two photos of a man and a woman, and introduced:


    ��Everyone, this white man with short blond hair is named Osmond. He is 38 years old and is the owner of a pharmaceutical company.


    In the photo next to her, there is a white woman with gold-rimmed glasses, long burgundy hair, and a tough face named Vivina. She is 40 years old and is the head of scientific research projects of this pharmaceutical company. "


    ��Pharmaceutical company?��


    ?Michelle looked confused:


    ��I��ve never heard of this company��s name. What drugs do they mainly develop?��


    ��A drug for liver cancer, the company has not yet launched it on the market.��


    ?Luo An smiled and added:


    ��The drug has not even been sold yet and is still in the research and development stage.��


    Lacie suddenly said:


    ��Is this what Nokwick is investigating? Did the drugs produced by this pharmaceutical company kill people?��


    ��No.��


    ? Luo An shook his head, picked up the photos and documents he found in the taxi, and said:


    ��Nokwick learned from some sources some time ago that the boss of this pharmaceutical company is selling stocks, saying that their products have miraculous effects on liver cancer patients.


    Pharmaceutical companies will go public soon. If you buy stocks now, you will definitely make a lot of money by then.


    Many people were skeptical about this, so Osmond took the doubters to their company''s internal laboratory. Vivina, the head of the scientific research project, introduced his medicine to them in detail. "


    Winslow looked at the document in his hand. It contained a bunch of professional terms that he didn��t understand. He simply threw it aside and asked:


    ��This seems to be just an ordinary share purchase and sale?��


    ��From the perspective of selling stocks, it is indeed the case.��


    ?Luo An took another document from Chenier��s hand and said with a smile:


    ��But while he was selling his company��s stock, Osmond was also doing something else.


    He claimed that he had a fund with an annual return of 13%-17%. Because he bought shares of his own pharmaceutical company, Osmond believed that everyone was a friend, so he recommended this fund. "


    ��17%??!��x4


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 548： Ponzi scheme or insider trading

    Chapter 548 Ponzi Scheme or Insider Trading


    FBI Washington Headquarters Building, Office Area of ??Investigation Team 13.


    ��17% annual return?!��


    Hearing Roan''s words, Winslow''s eyes suddenly widened. Lacey''s face was full of disbelief. Michelle and Chenelle looked at each other and realized something, and they both said in unison:


    ��Osmond has inside information? Did he jump ahead?��


    "Ponzi scheme?"


    Both women realized that something was wrong with the rate of return, but their imagination went in completely different directions.


    ? Michelle used to work at the Washington headquarters and saw many cases where inside information was used to create trouble.


    ?Chenelle has worked in the international business department, and most of the similar financial cases she has seen were Ponzi schemes.


    ��Both are possible.��


    ??Luo An handed the documents in his hand to everyone. Now that he had insufficient information, he could not yet determine what Osmond, the boss of the pharmaceutical company, was doing.


    ??But Luo An has a simpler thinking logic: stocks, funds, financial products, etc. with an annual return rate of more than 6% must be marked with a big question mark.


    Because the annual rate of return offered by most banks is only between 3% and 6%, banks are the most profitable guys in the world.


    All the detectives present knew what a Ponzi scheme was. Several of them looked at the documents in their hands. Lacey and Chenelle stood together:


    ��I think the fund Osmond talks about is a Ponzi scheme.��


    ?Winslow shook his head. He chose to trust Michelle��s judgment:


    ��I think Osmond is using inside information to get ahead and cut off the leeks of the people at the bottom.


    We can all recognize the Ponzi scheme, but what about the rich people who can��t see it? "


    ��No, Winslow, you��re thinking of something wrong.��


    ??Mona threw the folder aside, raised her head, sneered, and said:


    ��The Ponzi scheme is actually a story of three people becoming tigers. You believe that you can make money, I believe that you can make money, and then we deceive the next person and it will make money, and finally we can really make money.


    ?This thing itself is an exploitation system, which exploits and **** blood from those who come later to enrich those who come first.


    ? Many rich people probably know that this is a scam, but they all think that as long as they withdraw their money before the scam is exposed, they will not lose money. "


    ?Luo An grinned and added:


    ��Just to see who has a sensitive nose and who can run fast.��


    ��OK.��


    Michelle hesitated for a few seconds and nodded. Winslow thought about it and smiled:


    ��I still think Osmond is using inside information to jump the gun.��


    ��This cannot be ruled out.��


    Luo An did not deny this possibility. He was silent for a few seconds. He picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, and said:


    ��Everyone, whether it was a Ponzi scheme or an inside job, Nokwick-Brager must have been killed because he found out something.


    ? Before his death, Nokwick used the fake name of Luthur Field to find something to be tested by a scientific research institution.


    ?Mona, Michelle, you two use the computer to investigate and see if you can find out what the detected object is.


    ?Winslow, Chenille, Lacey, and the rest of them went offline to investigate the scientific research institution, including surveillance video, entry and exit records, experimental records, etc., and tried their best to get a copy back. "


    ��OK!��


    "no problem!"


    ?The five agents nodded in unison. Michelle and Mona returned to their seats and started operating the computer. The other three simply organized their equipment and immediately left the office area of ??Investigation Team 13.


    As the team leader, Luo An pondered for a while, briefly organized the folders, and took them to Veranith''s office.


    ??After Veranith was transferred to the FBI''s Washington headquarters, her position was Secretary Stacey''s staff assistant.


    As a work assistant, Veranith''s office in this building has more than doubled in size compared to the office she used to work as a team leader in the New York branch.


    ?Luo An knocked on the door and entered the office:


    ��Good afternoon, sir.��


    "good afternoon."


    ?Seeing Luo An, Veranith didn��t waste any words. She waved her hand for him to take a chair and sit down, and then said:


    "What''s up?"


    "About the case in hand, I led people to find some clues." Luo An handed the folder to Veranith and briefly described Osmond, the boss of the pharmaceutical company, Vivina, the head of scientific research, and the Just a fund thing.


    ??Osmond and Vivina''s identities are both ordinary. For such wealthy people, the investigation team''s previous investigation methods are not suitable, because the other party will 100% say nothing and ask for a lawyer.


    ??Coupled with the large number of people and money involved in this case, Luo An believed that he was just the leader of a small investigation team, and his status and position were not suitable for lifting such a big lid.


    So it��s time to ask for help.


    Looking at the information in her hand, Veranith had a slightly strange expression on her face. After Luo An finished narrating, she closed the folder and raised her eyebrows slightly, took a deep look at Luo An, and said softly:


    ��You are so fast.��


    Luo An: ������


    Without waiting for Luo An to speak, Verenes found a black folder from a bunch of files next to it, handed it to Luo An, and said:


    ��I happened to find some clues about that private club.��


    ?Luo An took the folder and lowered his head to look at it. Veranith leaned back and crossed her legs, introducing:


    ��The owner of that club is a certain senator in Congress.


    ??Osmond, the pharmaceutical company boss you just mentioned, and the senator are college friends. They belong to the same fraternity and have a very good relationship.


    When I looked up these clues before, I was still wondering why the relationship between Osmond and the Senator was so good.


    The fund you just introduced with an annual return rate of 17% finally made me figure this out. "


    "Wow."


    After reading the information in the document, Luo An casually said an exclamation.


    ?Luo An was actually not surprised. This was a federation where there was no corruption and everything was in compliance with the law.


    It is normal for the senator to have a good relationship with the company boss.


    ��As for the Vivina you mentioned, I also found out something about her.��


    A strange color flashed in Veranith''s eyes, and her voice changed slightly:


    ��She, Osmond, and the senator often went to certain places to gather together.��


    ?Seeing that something wasn''t right about the expression on Veranith''s face, Luo An suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively:


    ��Sir, what is the party you are talking about?��


    ��Just what you think.��


    The air in the office suddenly became quiet, and Luo An was a little surprised this time.


    After a few seconds of silence, Luo An changed the subject with a slight cough and asked:


    ��Sir, how should we deal with this case next?��


    Senator, company boss, Ponzi scheme, insider trading, private club...each of these words represents trouble.


    Verineth glanced at the watch on her wrist, stood up and started packing the documents, and said:


    ��Mr. Clement will be back soon.��


    After finding clues about the club, Veranith originally planned to contact Mr. Clement first, then call Luo An with the clues, and go to Mr. Clement''s office with Luo An to discuss the case.


    ??But Veranith never expected that Luo An would investigate the case so quickly. He found out about Osmond almost at the same time as her, and also found clues such as the fund that she had not found.


    ?Thinking of this, Verinis, who had finished packing the documents, glanced at Luo An calmly, with a flash of admiration in her eyes, and said softly:


    ��Roan, come with me to Mr. Clement��s office.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An stood up and followed, and after a short walk, he arrived at Mr. Clement��s office.


    ??Just as Veranith was about to reach out and knock on the door, the secretary outside the office pushed open the office door first. Then he smiled at the two of them and made a "please come in" gesture.


    Veranith had a strange look in her eyes, took a deep look at Luo An, and said softly:


    ��This is the first time I��ve entered this office without knocking.��


    ����


    ?Luo An was a little surprised but said nothing. He didn''t know if it was an illusion. He felt like he smelled a smell of vinegar?


    ? ? Walking into the office, Mr. Clement was leaning on the table writing something. He took the document handed over by Veranith and checked it for a moment. He suddenly looked at Roan and asked:


    ��Luo An, what do you think of Tairen?��


    Luo An: ������


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 549： Power, clues, new discoveries

    Chapter 549 Power, clues, new discoveries


    An office at the FBI''s Washington headquarters.


    Mr. Clement��s question came to an end, Veranith��s face changed slightly, and Roan fell silent.


    It��s not that Luo An didn��t want to answer, it��s just that except for some unpleasant greetings, there didn��t seem to be many other words.


    ?Silence is also an attitude. Mr. Clement looked at Luo An for a few seconds and suddenly laughed:


    ��Don��t be nervous, just asking casually.��


    ? Luo An grinned. He was not nervous at all, he just remembered something.


    ?Before coming to the Washington headquarters, Luo An asked Lacey and Mona to briefly investigate some people''s information and political leanings.


    ?Mr. Clement, Veranith, Trick Kennedy, etc., from the perspective of race, they are all Anglo-Saxons, which are the so-called Ansa.


    The five agents in Investigation Team 13: Mona, Lacey, Chenille, Winslow, and Michelle. Their grandfathers or great-grandfathers were all native Europeans. They are the descendants of European immigrants. Not Jewish either.


    Roanne Greenwood��s parents are also not Jewish. They immigrated to the Federation from Europe with previous generations.


    ??The only Jew Luo An knew was Antoine, the director of the Office of Professional Responsibility.


    Antoine''s secretary, Iolaia, was not a Jew but married a Jewish wife.


    ?Thinking of this, Luo An suddenly realized something.


    ?If I remember correctly, the information he and Veranith investigated just now showed that the senator was from Onsa, but Osmond and Vivina, both of their parents were Jewish.


    The most important thing about working in the federal government is choosing a side.


    Mr. Clement��s desire to serve in the Ministry of Justice cannot be circumvented.


    A strange color flashed in Roan''s eyes. As expected, within a few minutes, Mr. Clement coughed a few times and said:


    "Vereniss, Luo An, you continue to investigate this case, but be careful not to arrest anyone for the time being, and wait for the call."


    "clear."


    Veranith and Roan nodded in agreement. This order was not difficult for them to understand. They were concerned about the case itself, while Mr. Clement was concerned about the politics behind the case.


    ?Out of the office, Luo An walked with his head down, silently thinking about what Mr. Clement might do.


    ??After returning to Investigation Team No. 13 with random thoughts, Luo An opened the door of the office area and asked:


    ��How��s the check going?��


    ��No clue.��


    At the work station, Mona spun around on her chair again. When she heard Luo An��s question, she answered helplessly:


    ��That scientific research institution has very strict preventive measures, and I can��t find any information at all.��


    ��What?��


    ? Luo An, who was very aware of Mona��s computer skills, was a little surprised:


    ��You can��t even enter that scientific research institution? What��s the origin of that scientific research institution?��


    ��It��s not a big one, it was jointly funded by a certain university and a certain company.��


    Michelle handed a cup of coffee to Luo An and explained with a smile:


    ��However, that scientific research institution does not receive much funding every year, so the equipment is relatively old, and the computers used are mostly used as information storage. There is no Internet connection, and Mona cannot invade.��


    Luo An: ������


    ??Mona spread her hands. No matter how powerful she is, she cannot hack into a computer that is not connected to the network cable.


    ��OK.��


    Luo An rubbed his temples and said helplessly:


    ��Then let��s wait for the results of Winslow��s investigation.��


    After saying that, Luo An turned around and returned to the team leader''s office. There were a lot of expenses during the investigation of this case, and he needed to do some simple calculations.


    ?Three hours later, Lacey, Winslow, and Chenelle returned to the office area each holding a cardboard box.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ?? Luo An took a piece of food that had just been delivered by the restaurant and put it into Lacey''s hand, and said with a smile:


    ��What did you find?��


    Lacie picked up the food and put it into her mouth, and said while eating:


    ��That scientific research institution is very poor, and its professors, researchers, and students all have the habit of making extra money.


    They will take some social orders, keep a small part of the money they earn, and choose to hand over most of the money to maintain the normal operation of the institution, so that they can continue to do research. �� ? ? Mona and Michelle looked at each other. They knew that the scientific research institution was very poor, but they didn��t expect it to be so poor.


    ?Chynielle added:


    ��The professors and students at that institution were so united that we couldn��t even figure out who the person who helped Nokwick do the testing was.


    ?However, because of our FBI status, two professors finally gave us the report on the items tested by Nokwick, as well as the surveillance video outside their research institution. "


    ��Well done.��


    ?Luo An took the monitor and handed it to Mona. Winslow rummaged through the cardboard box for a moment, handed a piece of paper to Luo An, and said:


    ��This is the report, but I can��t understand it.��


    Luo An took the paper and looked at it for a few seconds, without changing his expression, and handed it to Michelle next to him.


    Lacey smiled when she saw this, and Luo An picked up the snack and hit her on the head lightly.


    Winslow and Chenelle beside them lowered their heads to eat, selectively ignoring the actions of Roan and Lacey.


    ��This is a drug test report.��


    ?Michelle, who had the most knowledge and knowledge reserves present, took the paper and looked at it carefully for a moment, and said:


    ��Within the designed range, the proportional relationship between the measurement response value and the concentration of the analyte in the sample is too low, UV and HPLC methods..."


    ��Stop.��


    Before Michelle could finish speaking, Luo An interrupted her with his hands in a "T" shape:


    ��Can you tell me the conclusion directly?��


    ��The conclusion is that the drug being tested does not meet the standards.��


    ?Michelle pointed to the last position of the paper and said:


    ��The pharmacological effect on cancer treatment is very low, and the psychological comfort effect is very high.��


    ??Remembering what he found out earlier that Osmond, the owner of a pharmaceutical company, would take people to visit the company''s drug laboratory before selling stocks, Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, and a conjecture came to mind:


    ��It seems that Nokwick entered the private club under a false identity, successfully connected with Osmond, and entered the laboratory to visit.


    ?Norkwick then stole several pills and took them to a testing agency for testing. "


    Lacie swallowed the food in her mouth and continued:


    ��This matter was discovered by Osmund, so he sent people to kill Nokwick.��


    Chenelle frowned slightly:


    ��But Osmond is introducing that fund with an annual return of 17% everywhere. He can make a lot of money through a Ponzi scheme...Isn��t that pharmaceutical company a front?��


    ��Why is it a pretense?��


    ? Luo An took the report aside:


    ��If the money defrauded through the Ponzi scheme is invested in pharmaceutical companies, we will find ways to speed up the research and development of drugs.


    ?As long as the drug is successfully developed and the company is listed, the scam will no longer be a scam, but will become an early investment. Osmond will also transform into a successful businessman and entrepreneur. "


    ������x4


    ? Winslow, Chenelle, Lacey and Michelle fell silent.


    ?At this moment, Mona, who had been typing on the keyboard next to her, suddenly said:


    ��Everyone, the surveillance has discovered something!��


    ??Everyone quickly moved to Mona. Mona pointed to the surveillance screen on the computer and introduced:


    ��This is the surveillance video of Nokwick entering the testing facility.��


    In the surveillance footage, Nokvik parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and quickly walked into the scientific research institution.


    ?Mona then zoomed in on the upper right corner of the surveillance screen. A few dozen seconds later, a black off-road vehicle slowly appeared on another street on the side.


    ??????????????Mona immediately called up the second surveillance video without waiting for anyone to ask.


    ?? This was half an hour before Nokwick''s death, at the corner of a road outside a street in the park where the crime occurred. At this time, a black off-road vehicle was also parked here.


    ?Mona took screenshots of two black off-road vehicles and put them together and said:


    ��This is the same car.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Who is the owner of the car? Can it be found out?��


    ��This car is in the name of a security company.��


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard a few times and quickly retrieved the information about the security company:


    "WWW" security company, the boss of the company is...wait a minute!"


    ??Mona was halfway through speaking, her eyes widened and she suddenly stopped:


    ��Information is blocked?!��

    Office area of ??Investigation Team No. 13.


    ��The security company��s information is blocked?!��


    After Mona finished speaking, Lacey, Winslow, and Michelle suddenly widened their eyes in surprise. Chenelle was also very surprised and asked hurriedly:


    ��Which department is closed?��


    Mona quickly typed on the keyboard a few times, and a red warning message appeared on her laptop:


    ��It��s the USSS! (Secret Service)��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he asked:


    ��What��s the reason?��


    ??Mona spread her hands and looked very ugly:


    ��Involving confidentiality, no specific reason was written.��


    Winslow and others looked at each other in confusion. Chenelle looked at Roan and put forward her own suggestion:


    ��Are you going to call that Secret Service agent Alejo Moore?��


    ��You can give it a try, but he is just an ordinary agent, not even a captain. His authority is limited, so I��m afraid he is not that capable.��


    ??Roan did not reject Chenelle''s suggestion and asked Lacey and Chenelle to call Alejo Moore. At the same time, he briefly sorted out the information and went to Veranith''s office again with his laptop.


    ��Information is locked?��


    In the office, Veranith frowned immediately after receiving the computer from Luo An. Without hesitation, she immediately found the relevant phone number and called the Secret Service.


    The call was quickly connected. Luo An looked at this scene, picked up the coffee pot and filled himself and Veranith with coffee. Veranith took the cup casually and said:


    ��Hello, I am Veranith, staff assistant in the Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Division, FBI Headquarters in Washington.��


    "Hello."


    ??A slightly hoarse middle-aged male voice sounded on the other end of the phone:


    ��What��s the matter?��


    ��We are currently investigating a case here.��


    ?Verineth briefly described the overview of the case at hand, and finally expressed the hope that the Secret Service could open up the security company''s information to the FBI.


    After Veranis finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and she replied without any fluctuation in her voice:


    ��Sorry, I can��t help you.��


    ?Veranith��s face turned cold:


    ��Why?��


    ��This security company involves the security information of some important government officials.��


    The work of the Federal Secret Service is mainly responsible for protecting the president and vice president of the federation, their spouses and family members, foreign heads of state visiting the federation and their spouses, important figures, and government officials.


    ??The man on the other end of the phone had no problem expressing himself in words, but his attitude was very perfunctory. His answer to Veranith''s question was simple:


    If you can''t do it and don''t have the power, go to your superiors.


    Hang up the landline phone call, Veranith''s chest heaved with anger, and her face looked very ugly.


    ??Taking a few deep breaths and slowly suppressing the negative emotions, Veranith looked at Luo An, who was sitting opposite her, and said in a deep voice:


    ��An hour ago, Mr. Clement went to the Houses of Parliament.��


    Veranith was very angry, but the Secret Service was full of official talk and was so reasonable that it was impossible to find any flaws. She couldn''t force the other party if they didn''t cooperate, so she could only wait to turn around and seek help from Mr. Clement.


    ??Veriness actually doesn��t want to ask Mr. Clement for help. On the one hand, she is a proud woman and hopes to deal with the problems she encounters during her work by herself.


    On the other hand, Veranith was a little afraid of being looked down upon by Luo An. She was originally transferred to the FBI headquarters because of Luo An, but now she has to go to Mr. Clement for help when she encounters problems. Then she seems to be a bit unworthy as a commander. Optional.


    As for asking [Crime, Internet, Response and Services Department] Minister Stacey for help, Veranith thought about it for a while and threw the idea into the trash can.


    The FBI Washington Headquarters, under the [Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Division], has a total of thirteen investigation teams. Behind the leader of each investigation team, there is support from different forces.


    Behind Minister Stacey, there was a former deputy director who supported him. Due to some things, the former deputy director voluntarily retired. Minister Stacey used some means to retain his position, at the cost of starting his own semi-retirement life.


    ??Except for holding the financial power in his hands, Minister Stacy has handed over most of the other work to Veranith and several other staff assistants.


    ??The focus now is to help Luo An solve the problem. Other things can be put aside for the time being. Veranith suppressed the messy thoughts in her mind, looked at Luo An and said:


    ��Luo An, please return to Investigation Team 13 first. I will help you handle this matter tomorrow.��


    Luo An��s eyes moved slightly, he put down the coffee cup and asked with a smile:


    "Sir, I heard that you have a good relationship with the IRS?" Luo An actually doesn''t like asking Mr. Clement for help all the time, not to mention that the matter has not reached a dead end yet.


    Even if the Secret Service does not cooperate, Luo An still has ways to get the information about the security company, such as asking Mona to invade by force, or asking the IRS for help.


    But the former is not necessary. It is not convenient to ask other departments for help. After all, it is necessary to save some face for the superior, so Luo An gave Veranith a little reminder.


    ��IRS?��


    Veranith was stunned for a moment and didn''t react. She thought carefully for a few seconds before remembering that Roan was talking about Director Elmer of IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Section).


    ?Veriness and Elmer have collaborated in the past, and their relationship is not bad, but they don��t have much contact with each other, and they don��t think of each other for a while.


    ?After Luo An reminded her, Veranith suddenly remembered the incident, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she picked up the landline and called Elmer.


    ��Hello, this is the IRS, I��m Elmer.��


    ��Hello, Director Elmer, I��m Verenith.��


    The two exchanged a few simple words, and Veranith brought the conversation to the main topic.


    Director Elmer was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that the person in charge of the case was Luo An, he immediately agreed:


    ��No problem! Just leave this matter to me!��


    ��Thank you, Director Elmer.��


    Hang up the phone, Veranith looked at Luo An with sparkling eyes.


    Veranith knew Elmer��s experience of being promoted from team leader to supervisor, and she also knew the relationship between Luo An and Elmer��s supervisor. She also knew that Luo An��s words just now set a stage for her.


    Suppressing her somewhat heavy breathing and calming down her emotions, Veranith spoke in a very gentle tone:


    ��Director Elmer has agreed, Luo An, please go to his place later.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An smiled and nodded in agreement, drank the coffee in his cup, exchanged a few words, and then stood up and left the office.


    Looking at Luo An��s back, Veranis�� bright eyes flashed, her eyebrows raised, and she pondered for a few seconds. She opened the drawer, took out a small notebook, and wrote silently:


    1. The coffee beans are good. Luo An seems to like them very much and will buy more later.


    2. I remember that some people in the Secret Service were causing trouble and refusing to cooperate.


    ����


    ??The Federal Internal Revenue Service Building is located at the intersection of 12th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue in the Northwest District of Washington, DC. It looks square and very serious as a whole, not far from the FBI''s Washington headquarters.


    ?Led by the IRS agents, Luo An walked into the IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division) area and met Director Elmer in an office.


    ��Haha, Team Leader Luo An!��


    As soon as he entered the office, Director Elmer gave Luo An a big hug, patted Luo An on the back repeatedly and said with a smile:


    ��I really didn��t expect that you would be transferred to work in Washington, D.C. so quickly!��


    "lucky."


    ??Luo An and Director Elmer patted each other on the back and said with a smile:


    ��I came here after solving a few cases.��


    "lucky?"


    ??Elmer let go of his arms, poured two cups of coffee for himself and Luo An, poured two small glasses of wine and handed them to Luo An, and said with a smile:


    ��Bless your luck!��


    Looking at the wine in his hand, Luo An raised his eyebrows:


    ��Is it okay for you IRS to drink alcohol on the job?��


    ��Of course not!��


    Elmer chuckled and whispered:


    ��We��ve been working overtime every day this week, so just drink a little less to refresh ourselves.��


    ?? He had long heard that the work pressure in the IRS was high. Luo An''s eyes flashed, he picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Elmer, and the two drank it down with a smile.


    After putting away their wine glasses and chatting for a while, the two of them turned to serious matters. Luo An asked:


    ��What��s going on with that security company?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 551： Information, speculation, action to arrest people

    Chapter 551 Information, speculation, and action to arrest people


    Roan��s idea and plan is very simple. Whether it is insider trading or a Ponzi scheme behind the murder of Nokwijk Bragg, after the case is completely solved, the IRS will inevitably come out to collect taxes from all parties.


    ??Instead of letting other people in the IRS get the credit, it is better to contact the supervisor Elmer whom you are most familiar with and give him a favor along the way.


    After Veranith reacted, she also thought of this. The Federation is also a country that cares about you helping me and me helping you.


    The IRS may not be the law enforcement agency with the most federal power, but it is definitely the law enforcement agency with the highest federal priority.


    ??IRS-CI, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, this one is even more important and belongs to the priority among priorities.


    ?Hearing Luo An��s question, Director Elmer chuckled, turned around and picked up a black folder from the desk and handed it to him.


    The security company��s information was blocked by the Secret Service. What does this have to do with their IRS?


    "Wow."


    ? Luo An raised his eyebrows, took the folder and started to look at it.


    The owner of WWW Security Company is Lewis Coote, 40 years old. He is a battlefield veteran and has participated in many military activities.


    ?Except for the boss, Lewis Coote, the company has only two employees, a black aunt who is responsible for cleaning, and a driver who is responsible for sorting weapons and equipment and driving.


    ��Three people are a security company.��


    ?Luo An raised his head and asked:


    ��Is there any other information?��


    ��Boss Lewis has some problems with his financial situation.��


    Director Elmer picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said:


    ��A few days ago, this guy��s secret account received a darknet cryptocurrency transfer worth US$300,000.��


    ��Can you find the source of that cryptocurrency?��


    ��Normally it��s not possible, but if Lewis didn��t pay taxes, you can find out.��


    Director Elmer smiled, handed Luan the second folder, and said:


    ��The payer account of cryptocurrency, the owner is a woman named Vivina Torres.��


    ����


    The next day, in the morning, the office area of ??Investigation Team No. 13.


    ��Vivina Torres?��


    Lacie saw the information that Luo An got back and said with surprise:


    ��Isn��t this the person in charge of the scientific research project of that pharmaceutical company?��


    ��It��s her!��


    ?Chenelle snatched the folder from Winslow��s hand, nodded heavily and said:


    ��The $300,000 in darknet currency is most likely the advance payment Viviana paid to Lewis to kill Nokwick.��


    ��Vivina pays to kill people?��


    Winslow crossed his arms over his chest and said:


    ��I always thought that the person who really wanted to kill Nokwijk was Osmond, the boss of the pharmaceutical company.��


    Michelle thought for a while and said:


    "It is also possible that Osmund handed over the killing of Nokwick to Viviana, and then Viviana asked Lewis to kill him."


    ?Mona stopped typing on the keyboard, raised her hands, and said:


    ��Everyone, I found something.


    ? More than ten years ago, when Lewis Coote went on the battlefield for the first time, Vivina served as a scientific research consultant for that army. It is possible that the two had a connection at that time.


    ??When Lewis Coote later established the "WWW" security company, there was insufficient initial capital.


    Coincidentally, Vivina, Osmond, and Lewis were in the same city at the time, so it didn��t take long for the security company to be established. "


    Lacie suddenly realized:


    ��So, Lewis is actually Viviana and Osmond��s black glove.


    ??This security company is just a cover. The real purpose of Vivina and Osmond is to use Lewis to kill those who block their progress. "


    At this point in the analysis, the detectives have a context and understanding of the circumstances behind this case. The next thing they need to do is to arrest the person.


    ?So Lacey, Winslow and others all turned their attention to Luo An, who was sitting on a chair not far away and had been silent.


    ��Tell me, is there another possibility?��


    ?Luo An pondered for a while, closed the folder, raised his head and smiled:


    ��This murder was committed by Vivina behind Osmond��s back.��


    ��???��x5


    ? Winslow, Michelle and others looked puzzled and did not understand what Luo An meant.


    ??Luo An did not explain in detail, but took out his mobile phone and called Veranith.


    ??It is not a difficult problem to arrest people, but thinking about Osmond and Vivina behind the case, Luo An needs to think more about alerting the enemy. ��Luo An, we can arrest people.��


    After answering the phone, Veranith said in a slightly strange tone:


    ��This morning, the SEC sent people to Osmond��s pharmaceutical company to conduct an investigation.


    ?Osmond is not responsible for us, you can just bring Lewis and that Viviana back. "


    The Securities and Exchange Commission, abbreviated as SEC, is an independent agency of the federal government, responsible for the supervision and management of securities, and is the highest agency in the securities industry.


    ��OK.��


    Hearing the word sec, Luo An was a little surprised. He didn''t expect Mr. Clement to be so fast.


    After hanging up the phone, Luo An didn��t waste any time and waved his hand:


    ��Action! Start arresting people!��


    "clear!"


    ?The agents of Investigation Team No. 13 were divided into two groups. Mona, Michelle, and Lacey led the team and went to Vivina''s scientific research laboratory to arrest people.


    ?Roan took Chenille, Winslow, and a SWAT team to the "WWW" security company, preparing to capture the suspect Lewis Coote.


    The address of the "WWW" security company is located on the outskirts of a community in the westernmost part of Washington, DC. It is an ordinary bungalow with a gray main body.


    ��Looks more like a **** shop than a security company.��


    ?In an SUV in the distance, Luo An arranged his equipment and asked:


    ��How is the situation of the target person?��


    "everything is normal."


    ??In a two-story building in the distance, Cheniel held a pair of binoculars to observe the inside of the security company, pressed the communicator, and replied:


    ��There were three people in the house, the black lady was cleaning, and Lewis Coote was sitting with the driver.


    The two were drinking and eating, and both had weapons and pistols around them. "


    ��They seem to be in a good mood after drinking at this time.��


    ??Looking at the time on his watch, which was less than ten o''clock, Luo An chuckled, pressed the communicator, and ordered:


    "start to act!"


    "clear!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, a black van parked on the side of the road not far away, six heavily armed SWAT members rushed out, holding explosion-proof shields and weapons, and quickly surrounded the front and rear doors of the bungalow.


    ?Roan and Winslow followed closely and ran out of the SUV. In the distance, Chenelle was always on guard with a sniper rifle.


    �O


    The SWAT team members picked up the breaking hammer and slammed open the front and rear doors of the security company. The team members behind them immediately filed in, and the whole bungalow reverberated with deafening shouts:


    ��FBIOpenTheDoor!��


    ��Put your hands behind your head!��


    ��Stay away from the weapon!��


    ��Get down! Get down!��


    The SWAT team members suddenly burst into the room, startling the three people in the room.


    ??The black aunt threw the rag aside without hesitation, raised her hands, and pressed her whole body against the wall.


    ??The driver subconsciously prepared to fight back with a gun and escape toward the back door. However, when he saw that there were more SWAT members at the back door than at the front door, he immediately threw the pistol aside, put his hands behind his head, and fell to the ground.


    Lewis''s movements were extremely fast, but instead of fighting back with a gun, he stood up and overturned the table to block the movements of the SWAT team members. Then he picked up the wine he had not finished and poured it all towards the laptop not far away. The keyboard fell over.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ?Lewis''s act of destroying evidence immediately attracted everyone''s attention. Winslow cursed and prepared to stop him quickly.


    Luo An''s speed became even faster. Under the shocked eyes of everyone, he moved to Lewis in the blink of an eye. He grabbed Lewis with his right hand to stop him and snatched the wine from his hand. Then he kicked Lewis hard with his whip leg. .


    Bang!


    ? ? Lewis was unable to react under the terrifying force and instantly flew out, hitting the wall next to him. Then he lay forward and hit the driver on the ground.


    driver:"��"


    ?The SWAT team members who reacted swarmed over and quickly controlled Lewis and the driver.


    ?Suddenly, Cheniel��s voice sounded through the communicator in Luo An��s ear:


    ��Team leader, I just received the news that there was a car accident in Osmond!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 552： The truth of the case, you want profit, I want principal

    Chapter 552 The truth of the case, you want profits, I want principal


    FBI Washington Headquarters, Office Area of ??Investigation Team 13.


    ??The office area was a little busy. Several people were organizing their belongings in preparation for the interrogation that was to come. Lacey approached Chenelle with a folder and asked:


    ��I just heard that Osmond was hit by a car?��


    Hearing this, Winslow, Michelle and Mona all turned their attention here.


    "Um."


    Chenelle nodded:


    ��People are being rescued in the hospital.��


    ��It seems that someone is preparing to silence him.��


    Lacie curled her lips, suddenly remembered something, and asked:


    ��Should we investigate this car accident later?��


    ?Chenelle spread her hands to express that she didn��t know. Just as Mona was about to speak, Luo An suddenly opened the office door and walked in.


    Hearing Lacey��s question, Roan, who had just returned from Verenis�� office, replied:


    ��We don��t need to investigate that car accident.��


    ?The detectives present were a little surprised. Luo An took off his coat and put it aside, explaining:


    ��The person behind the driver who caused the car accident has been found to be a buyer of Osmond��s fund with an annual return rate of 17%.��


    Winslow and others looked at each other, and Lacey was a little surprised:


    ��Isn��t it silence?��


    ?Luo An handed the folder in his hand to everyone and explained:


    ��The SEC has completed its review of Osmond��s fund and determined that it was a Ponzi scheme.


    ?The possibility of silence has not been ruled out, but current investigation results show that this car accident was more like revenge and anger. "


    ?The man behind the hiring of drivers to cause car accidents was the owner of a chain store. He spent nearly ten million dollars to buy Osmond''s fund.


    Winslow and Chenelle looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the documents in their hands. Roan took a sip of the coffee and said:


    ��The owner of the chain store recognized this Ponzi scheme.


    But he believes that at least he will not lose money. Even if the scam fails in the end, he can still get his principal back.


    ??But Osmond''s use of the money was as I had guessed before. He did not continue to play the ordinary Ponzi scheme of demolishing the east and paying for the west. Instead, he invested the money in the drug research and development of pharmaceutical companies. "


    Lacie suddenly realized:


    ��In other words, all the money has been spent?��


    ��Not all was spent, but a large part was used.��


    ?Luo An put down the coffee cup and said quietly:


    ��The remaining money cannot make up for the huge shortfalls of those buyers who purchased funds.


    Some people invest tens of millions of dollars, but only get back a few million in the end. "


    ??Mona closed the folder, sneered, and concluded:


    ��It��s a game of drumming and passing flowers. These buyers thought that an unlucky guy would eventually take over. Osmond, the organizer of the game, would go to jail and they would make a lot of money.


    Unexpectedly, what Osmond only wanted was their principal. "


    Winslow threw the document aside and smiled disdainfully. Chenelle and Lacey scoffed. Michelle looked down and sorted the items without changing her expression. She has worked in Washington, DC for many years, and she knows one thing deeply:


    In the Federation, the richer the people, the greedier they are.


    ? Luo An chuckled, took the information handed over by Michelle, and said with a smile:


    ��Interrogation started, people were caught, but we still haven��t figured out why Nokwick was killed.��


    Chenelle nodded, picked up the notebook, and walked to the interrogation room with Luo An.


    ??The first person Luo An started to interrogate was Lewis, the owner of the security company.


    ? ? There was indeed some evidence in the laptop that Lewis was eager to destroy during the previous arrest, and Mona retrieved that information without much effort.


    With the evidence overwhelming, Lewis-Coote quickly confessed to everything, signed a basic plea agreement, and then admitted to killing Nokwick-Bragg.


    ??But Lewis was just taking money to do things and didn''t know why he wanted to kill Nokwick, so Roan and Chenelle then walked into another interrogation room nearby.


    ??In interrogation room No. 2, a white woman with long burgundy hair, gold-rimmed eyes, and a white women''s suit sat on a chair with her head bowed, her hands cuffed to the interrogation table, and she said nothing.


    ?Chenelle walked into the interrogator first, holding a notebook and sitting across from the interrogation table with an expressionless face. "Good afternoon, Ms. Viviana."


    After a while, Luo An walked into the room with two cups of coffee, placed one of them in front of Vivina, and said with a smile:


    ��These are the coffee beans my commander gave me just now. They taste very good. You can try them.��


    ����


    Vivina looked up at Luo An, was silent for a few seconds, picked up the coffee and took a sip, then asked in a slightly hoarse voice:


    ��What��s going on at the company now?��


    "not so good."


    Luo An took a sip of the coffee in his hand and replied with a smile:


    ��The boss of your company, Mr. Osmond, accidentally got into a car accident and is still in the operating room. His condition doesn��t seem to be very good.��


    There was another long silence. Luo An finished drinking the coffee and said softly:


    ��Ms. Vivina, Lewis has explained everything, silence cannot solve the problem, what do you think?��


    Hearing this, Vivina slowly raised her head and asked expressionlessly:


    ��What do you want to know?��


    ��The reason for hiring a murderer to kill someone.��


    ��That guy stole my stuff.��


    Vivina leaned back and crossed her legs, sneered and said:


    ��The Bible says, You shall not steal; anyone who steals deserves to be killed.��


    ��I didn��t expect that Ms. Vivina, as a scientist, would actually believe in religion.��


    ??Luo An smiled, put the coffee cup aside, picked up four documents from Chenier''s side, slowly pushed them to Vivina, and asked with a smile:


    ��Ms. Vivina, the report on the left is the test report of the drug you developed from the laboratory that Nokvik paid for. It shows that your drug has almost no effect.


    The two copies in the middle are the test reports that my detectives found on your desk in the scientific research laboratory and from the company boss Osmond.


    The above shows that your medicine is very effective, but it is not yet stable enough to be mass-produced.


    The report on the right is also the test report that my agents found in the scientific research laboratory. It''s just that it''s not on your desk, but in your safe.


    ?The content of this test report is actually the same as the test report made by Nokvik, which also shows that your medicine has almost no effect. "


    Looking at the three test reports in front of her, Vivina''s face turned gloomy. Luo An said with a smile:


    ��Ms. Vivina, it seems to be written in the Bible that lying is also a sin.��


    "damn it!"


    After Luo An finished speaking, Vivina suddenly shouted with anger on her face:


    "I''m not lying! There is no problem with my research direction! The current drugs are just a transitional period. Just give me a little more time, and I can definitely overcome the difficulties!"


    Looking at Vivina who was so angry that her face was red, Luo An smiled and did not argue with her about scientific issues:


    ��But the reports you gave Osmond were all false.��


    ��It��s not a lie! I said it! It��s not a lie!��


    Vivina clenched her fists with both hands and repeatedly knocked on the interrogation table, and said excitedly:


    ��That��s my expected research result! It��s just that there are still some technical bottlenecks, and I��m leading people to overcome them. It��s not fake!��


    ����


    ? Chenier looked at Vivina with a speechless face, Luo An grinned and put away the test report.


    ??When Mona and the others went to arrest Vivina, they found two different drugs in the scientific research laboratory.


    One is the ineffective medicine that Nokwick stole, and the other is the effective medicine.


    ??But according to tests, the effective drugs are certain anti-cancer drugs on the market, which only contain too many nutrients. Vivina has been using them to deceive Osmond.


    Norkwick stole the real medicine from the laboratory. Vivina was afraid that the medicine''s ineffectiveness would be revealed, so she sent someone to kill him.


    ��One plays a Ponzi scheme and defrauds others of money; the other wants to have money to do research. In order to reassure the other party, he not only painstakingly prepares counterfeit medicines, but also plays poker with the other party and his good friends..."


    After the interrogation, Chenelle had a strange look in her eyes after learning the truth. As soon as she walked out of the interrogation room, Lacey came over:


    ��Roan, Veranith asked you to go to her office.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 553： Elmer: I can introduce you to Bernard Maddow

    Chapter 553 Elmer: I can introduce you to Bernard Madoff


    ��Good afternoon, sir.��


    Knocking on the door and entering Veranith''s office, Luo An said with a smile:


    ��The murderers Lewis Coote and Vivina Torres explained what happened, the interrogation was completed, and then the follow-up processing of the case began.��


    ��Thank you for your hard work, sit down.��


    Veranith motioned to Roan to take the chair and sit on it, saying:


    ��The senator has been arrested on several federal criminal charges.��


    After all, the other party is a senator, and the follow-up of the case related to him is very troublesome. Considering that there are not many members in the 13th Investigation Team, and the work has been busy enough recently, Mr. Clement handed over the case to others to deal with.


    Veranis told Luo An about this, hoping that Luo An would not think too much about it.


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An smiled and nodded. He just didn''t want to be pushed out so quickly and attract attention. It would be best for him to leave the cases related to the senator to others.


    Veranith��s eyes moved slightly, then she took out a white folder, handed it to Luo An, and said:


    ��Also, here��s what you earned from the Columbus Foundation last year.��


    Roan took the folder and was stunned for a moment before he remembered what the Columbus Foundation Veranith was talking about.


    When the serial murder case was solved (Chapter 43), Luo An was recommended by Veranith to join the Columbus Foundation because of his outstanding performance and huge development potential.


    The management staff of the foundation will deduct one-tenth of the salary of the foundation members every month for operation. At Christmas, the foundation will distribute a sum of funds to the members, which is higher than the salary deduction.


    ?Luo An performed well later, and his level in the foundation rose again and again, and his funding level became higher and higher.


    But as Luo An made more and more money from solving crimes, he put the Columbus Foundation behind him. He didn''t expect it to make much money and only regarded it as a human connection.


    Opening the folder to check, Luo An found that his level in the Columbus Foundation had been upgraded to the level of team leader, which was the same level as Verenis.


    Not only that, the amount at the bottom of the document shows that the accounts under Luo An��s name made $600,000 last year thanks to the Columbus Foundation��s investment!


    Luo An��s eyes lit up. He really didn��t expect this. He closed the folder and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you, sir.��


    "You''re welcome."


    Veranis glanced at Luo An with admiration. The two of them ignored the matter. After discussing it for a while, Luo An got up and left the office.


    Returning to Investigation Team 13, Winslow, Lacey, Chenelle and Mona began to deal with the follow-up of the case under the leadership of Michelle. Roan nodded with satisfaction and walked into the office to start processing what the team leader needed to do. work.


    In the next few days, the agents of the No. 13 Investigation Team began their nine-to-five life.


    ?Sent Lewis Coote and Vivina Torres to jail, contacted the court, contacted lawyers, and processed documents. The daily work was not busy but very troublesome.


    ??The senator''s trial could not be processed in a short time, and Osmond, the owner of the pharmaceutical company, was finally saved by a doctor.


    But as soon as he opened his eyes, Osmond saw the SEC��s accusations against him.


    ?In addition, two IRS tax staff came to the hospital bedside and asked Osmond to pay back certain taxes.


    ����


    ?Osmond''s face was extremely pale, his breathing was heavy, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.


    ����


    Sunday, 8 pm, a bar in southwest Washington, DC.


    ?The music is soft and the lights are orange and yellow. There are not many customers in the bar, and two people are sitting together chatting.


    Ding-


    At the bar, Luo An picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Director Elmer. Both of them were smiling and said in unison:


    ��Cheers!��


    He raised his head and picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.


    Luo An first put down his wine glass, picked up a piece of fruit, and asked with a smile:


    ��Is the IRS not working overtime these days?��


    "How can it be!"


    Elmer put down the glass and took a deep breath, forked the fruit like Roan, and replied with a smile:


    ��There are so many things in the case you have discovered this time that we are almost overwhelmed!��


    ?The essence behind this case is a Ponzi scheme. Not all people in it lost money, and some of the first people to enter the market actually made a small profit.


    In the federation, whether buying or selling, there are corresponding taxes and the taxes payable.


    The IRS doesn''t care about anything else. It''s your business to make money or lose money. We only care about collecting taxes, and the taxes you should pay must not be less!


    When the topic reached this point, Elmer laughed out loud. He picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for Luo An, and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you so much for what happened this time.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Elmer. The two chatted for a while, and Elmer suddenly moved his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice:


    "Luo An, I remember you invested in some stocks, right?" "That''s right."


    ? Luo An nodded. The stocks he bought were basically well-known companies in later generations, such as Apple and Amazon. In the long run, he was not worried about losing money.


    ?But Elmer worked in the IRS and might know something, so Luo An put down his glass and asked with a smile:


    ��Do you have any recommendations or suggestions?��


    ��No, I have a bad eye for stocks, so I won��t give you bad ideas.��


    ??Elmer shook his head, then stretched his neck to get close to Luo An, and asked in a low voice:


    ��But I know another thing. Do you know Bernard Madoff?��


    "certainly!"


    ??This name was like thunder, and a strange color flashed in Luo An''s eyes, and he asked:


    "You know him?"


    ��I had the opportunity to meet before.��


    ?Elmer nodded heavily, and then whispered:


    ��He has an investment advisory business that specializes in managing money for wealthy individuals, hedge funds and other institutional investors.


    ??If you are interested, I can help you make an introduction. "


    Luo An: ������


    ? Bernard Madoff, the operator of the largest Ponzi scheme in history, defrauded more than 50 billion US dollars.


    Looking at Elmer with a serious face in front of him, Luo An would have almost thought that the other person was planning to retaliate for kindness if he hadn''t turned on the "emotional perception" to make sure that the other person really meant well and had no bad thoughts.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An asked:


    ��You gave your money to Bernard��s company to manage?��


    "certainly!"


    ��Don��t you think Madoff��s annual rate of return is a bit high?��


    Hearing this question and thinking of the case they were dealing with, Elmer slowly put down his wine glass and frowned:


    ��Luo An, what do you mean?��


    Luo An didn��t speak, just looked at Elmer quietly, picked up a piece of fruit and put it into his mouth.


    "impossible!"


    Elmer shook his head and said:


    "Madoff is the chairman of the board of directors of Nasdaq! He participated in formulating the rules of the SEC! He can''t possibly..."


    ?He didn''t say that word, and Elmer''s eyebrows almost twisted into knots.


    ?Luo An can understand the other party''s thinking, because Madoff''s status is too high, all major investment banks are his clients, and he is a legendary figure on Wall Street who can make a shock by just stamping his feet.


    It is still 2006. Before the financial crisis in the previous life, many people had full trust in Madoff.


    After a long silence, Elmer thought more and more something was wrong, and finally he was covered in cold sweat.


    ?With trembling hands, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. He took out a dollar and pressed it under the glass. Elmer gave a somewhat ugly smile:


    ��Sorry, Luo An, I��ll go back first and I��ll treat you tonight.��


    Roan swallowed the fruit in his mouth and watched Elmer almost run away from the bar.


    ??Luo An is not worried about Elmer''s safety. He has worked with him for many years and knows what to do.


    ?? Madoff''s Ponzi scheme has been noticed very early. The other party even published newspapers and gave speeches to criticize Madoff. In the end, everything was fine, so Luo An was not worried about his own safety for the time being.


    ��I wonder what Elmer plans to do����


    ?Finding someone to drive back to the villa, Luo An suppressed the random thoughts in his mind, opened the door and said loudly:


    "I''m back!"


    ��Just right.��


    Caroline stood up from the sofa in the living room, shook the mobile phone in her hand, and said with a smile:


    ��Father has something to ask you.��


    ��OK.��


    Putting on his slippers and taking the phone, Luo An asked:


    ��Where��s Mona?��


    ��She went upstairs to make a bomb and said she would die with me.��


    ?)


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 554： There is no contradiction on the physical level, the sound of gunfire

    Chapter 554: No more contradictions on the physical level, gunfire


    The northwest side of the FBI headquarters in Washington, a certain community, a certain three-story villa.


    In the living room, Caroline spread her hands, and the expression on her face looked as innocent as possible.


    Luo An took the phone and asked with a speechless face:


    ��What did you do again?��


    Since the three of them moved into this villa, Mona and Caroline have had frequent quarrels.


    Caroline has a good attitude, she won��t argue too much with Mona, and she apologizes quickly.


    But apologizing �� admitting your mistake.


    ?Facing the angry Mona, Caroline��s attitude has always been:


    I''m sorry, but I won''t change it and I''ll try again next time.


    ?Mona��s face turned red with anger and she wanted to go to the kitchen to find knives.


    ��It��s nothing.��


    ?Caroline smiled slightly, picked up a freshly peeled apple from the table, handed it to Luo An, and explained:


    ��I just bought some more instruments.��


    ��Some? What do you call some?!��


    Before Roan could ask further questions, Mona ran down the stairs, grabbed her pillow and threw it at Caroline, saying angrily:


    ��That room is filled with all the stuff you bought! Do you want to have a concert by yourself?��


    ?Caroline quickly moved behind Luo An to avoid Mona''s first attack, then picked up the pillow on the sofa in the living room and started to fight back, saying dissatisfied:


    ��I like music, don��t you?��


    ��You **** like music! You��re just idle and want to spend money! What a wasteful woman!��


    ��What��s wrong with my money? Didn��t you also buy a lot of useless things for your computer?��


    ��Those are the devices I used to upgrade my computer! They are not useless!��


    ��Same! The musical instruments I bought are all used to learn art!��


    ����


    In the living room, Mona and Caroline slapped each other randomly with their own pillows, and the woman''s screams and shouts resounded throughout the villa.


    Luo An''s eyelids twitched slightly, and he quietly walked around the battlefield and walked to the corner room next to the stairs.


    Opening the door and walking in, I found that in addition to a huge grand piano, there was also a cello, a violin, a guitar, and a bunch of arranged drums in the room.


    There are even a few incomprehensible paintings hanging on the wall.


    ����


    The pile of musical instruments on the ground took up almost half of the room. Luo An''s mouth twitched, and he understood why Mona was angry.


    ??Although Mona and Caroline have similar faces and similar bodies, their personalities and preferences are very different.


    Caroline likes music, painting, dance and other more artistic things.


    ?Mona prefers computers, mechanical equipment and other items with more practical applications.


    The only thing they have in common is that they both like fitness and pay great attention to their bodies.


    ??But the two have different ways of exercising, and neither one can convince the other, and they still can''t talk together.


    ??Going around the drum set, Luo An casually grabbed the yoga mat bought by Mona, spread it out and sat on it, took the mobile phone and called Jawali.


    ??The phone was quickly connected, and Javari Evans'' voice came out:


    ��What��s the matter, Caroline?��


    ��It��s me, Luo An.��


    ??The sound of fighting outside the room had not stopped yet, Luo An asked directly:


    ��Caroline said you wanted to see me if you had something to do?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Jawali on the other end of the phone didn��t talk nonsense and asked with a smile:


    ��I remember that your card skills are very good, can you come and help me?��


    ?Luo Anluo was a little confused:


    ��The game? Who are the two sides? You and your enemy?��


    ��Enemies? No!��


    ??Jawali��s smile was hearty on the phone:


    ��The conflict has been resolved, and my acquaintances have nothing to say.��


    A strange look flashed in Luo An��s eyes:


    "Is your word "nothing to say" a spiritual adjective or a physical adjective?"


    ������I like your description, Roan.��


    Jawali was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed and replied:


    ��Physically, of course.��


    Luo An nodded:


    "That means the matter has been resolved and Caroline is safe, right?"


    "this��"


    Jawali on the other end of the phone hesitated for a few seconds and did not answer immediately. Seeing this, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    "You don''t want to tell me that if you hit the young one, you will get old. This matter is not over. People will continue to cause trouble for you later, right?" ? ? ? "Hit the young and the old will come... This sentence is very interesting, but still Not really."


    Jawali on the other end of the phone smiled and said:


    "These acquaintances of mine are the "old guys" you call them. They do have some subordinates, but they don''t have many die-hard loyalists. They all work with money.


    I have already sent someone to deal with the "little guy" you mentioned, so you don''t have to worry. "


    ? Luo An rubbed his temples speechlessly:


    ��I can��t help but worry when I hear these words from you.��


    Hearing this, Jawali��s voice suddenly rose:


    ��You doubt my ability?��


    ��There is no doubt, just some distrust.��


    ??Jawali: ������


    ??? Before Jawali could speak, Luo An asked first:


    ��How long do you estimate it will take to send someone to deal with those ��little guys��?��


    Jawali thought for a while and said:


    ��About a week.��


    Luo An automatically extended the time and said:


    "OK, then I will calculate it as one month. Mona and I will protect Caroline for another month."


    ����


    ??Jawali''s face was immediately filled with displeasure, and he really didn''t understand what Mona liked about Luo An.


    The matter of the card game was settled. The two chatted for a few words and hung up the phone together.


    At this time, the noise of fighting outside the room had disappeared. Luo An walked out of the room and found two pillows lying on the floor of the living room. Mona and Caroline were sitting on the sofa and huddled together, holding fashion magazines and whispering. They were discussing something and looked very happy.


    Luo An: ������


    When it comes to new clothing, Mona and Caroline have similar preferences and tastes, and they can chat together.


    After briefly describing the contents of the phone call with the two women, Luo An went into the kitchen to find some food, took it upstairs and returned to his bedroom.


    After eating, he went into the bathroom to wash up. While taking a shower, Luo An opened the system page in his mind.


    The system evaluated Luo An as [Excellent] this time, and he has accumulated four treasure chests.


    The rough cutscene ended, and the four treasure chests revealed [Regeneration Potion x1] [Swift Potion x1] [Stamina Potion x1] [Featherfall Potion x1]


    Open the system''s warehouse page. There is [Stamina Potion x5] here.


    ��Hemostatic Agent x4��


    ��Antidote x5��


    ��Swift Potion x4��


    ��Strength Potion x4��


    ��Sensitive agent x1��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x5��


    ��Featherfall Potion x4��


    ��Sleep Potion x1��


    ��Scuba Potion x3��


    ��Regeneration Potion x2��


    The [Danger Sensing Potion] was not prescribed, and a flash of disappointment flashed in Luo An''s eyes.


    ??But it was good to prescribe a bottle of [Regeneration Potion]. After taking a shower, he walked out of the room. After a busy day, Luo An began to lie down on the bed and close his eyes to rest.


    In the next few days, Luo An led the detectives to continue handling the [Ponzi scheme case].


    Since it is no longer a special investigation team with greater authority, after becoming the No. 13 Investigation Team, the procedures for case handling are as complicated as those of the No. 5 Investigation Team in the past.


    Fortunately, Michelle has rich experience and excellent ability, and can help Luo An handle many procedural tasks.


    As the investigation team at the headquarters, funds are required to be reported after each case is completed. Luo An simply calculated the case handling expenses for this [Ponzi scheme case] and reported it in the document as US$200,000.


    ?Verineth was silent for a few seconds after receiving the document, then picked up the pen and drew an extra slash, so the number became 800,000 US dollars.


    Luo An: ������


    In the past, the special investigation team has accumulated funds for handling cases as high as US$5.34 million.


    In order to avoid attracting attention, Luo An finally left only $340,000 in the account. Of the remaining $5 million, Luo An took away 2 million, Mona, Lacey, Michelle, Winslow, and Cheney. There are 5 of you, each of you got 600,000.


    ?A week passed in the blink of an eye. On Wednesday afternoon, Luo An was walking out of the FBI Washington Building when his cell phone suddenly rang.


    Luo An was a little confused when he picked up the number and found that it was an unfamiliar number, but he still pressed the answer button:


    "Hello. Who is this?"


    ��Hello, is this Mr. Roan Greenwood?��


    ??A young male voice came from the phone:


    ��Someone called the police and said there were gunshots in your villa.��


    ��?!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 555： Emergency situation, deceased outside the villa

    Chapter 555: Emergency situation, the deceased outside the villa


    ??The male young man on the other end of the phone was a patrol policeman. Three minutes ago, the patrol policeman received a notification from the headquarters that someone in a certain community called the police.


    ?The gunfire ended quickly, but there was no other evidence except the words of the caller. Considering the castle law, the patrol did not rush into the villa immediately, but chose to contact the owner of the villa first.


    ��I��ll go back right away.��


    Hang up the phone, Luo An frowned, walked towards the car, and called Mona.


    Mona was not feeling well today, so Luo An asked her to rest at home, while Caroline stayed at home to take care of her.


    Because he was worried about the safety of the two of them, Luo An also asked Lacey to help take care of them for a day.


    ?Michelle, Winslow, and Chenelle also heard the voice on the phone, looked at each other, and hurriedly followed Luo An.


    ??The call was quickly connected, and the background sound on Mona��s phone was a little noisy:


    ��What��s wrong? Luo An?��


    Hearing Mona''s voice, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was a little solemn:


    "Where are you?"


    "I am at the hospital."


    Because she was not feeling well, Mona felt a little weak. She leaned on the chair and replied in a weak voice:


    ��Lacie went to get my medicine, and Caroline is with me. You don��t have to worry.��


    ?Luo An looked slightly relaxed:


    ��Is Caroline at your place?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Just as Mona was about to explain, Caroline snatched the phone away and said:


    ��I haven��t been feeling well these days, and Mona needs to be taken care of, so I came to the hospital with Mona for a check-up.��


    ��OK.��


    Hearing that Mona and Caroline were both in the hospital, Luo An was relieved.


    ?Walking into the parking lot, Roan asked Chenelle and Michelle to drive to the hospital, while he and Winslow drove towards the community.


    "What''s wrong?"


    On the other end of the phone, after hearing Luo An��s arrangements, Caroline in the hospital looked puzzled:


    "what happens?"


    Luo An asked back:


    ��When did you go to the hospital?��


    ?Seeing Lacey not far away, Caroline smiled and waved to her, showing her and Mona''s location, while holding her mobile phone and explaining:


    ��The car Lacey drove two hours ago.��


    ��Where is Lacey?��


    ��She��s right here.��


    Taking the medicine from Lacey, Caroline thanked her with a smile, and then gave her the phone:


    ��Luo An comes to see you for something.��


    Lacie took the phone and asked with a smile:


    ��What, it��s that time of the month when you feel unwell too?��


    ?Luo An briefly described the situation of the gunshots, and finally said solemnly:


    "Chanelle and Michelle have rushed to the hospital. Please keep an eye on Mona and Caroline. Thank you."


    ��You��re welcome, don��t worry.��


    After hearing what Luo An said, Lacey suddenly became very serious and promised:


    ��I will protect them.��


    ?Hang up the phone, Luo An stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car rushed out like lightning.


    ?Less than twenty minutes, the car arrived at the community. Luo An and Winslow got out of the car with their weapons and equipment and saw the metropolitan patrol officer.


    Seeing the weapons in the hands of Luo An and Winslow, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the waiting young patrol officers.


    "Hello."


    It wasn��t until he saw the FBI��s golden badge that the young patrolman stopped being nervous, stretched out his hand and shook Luo An��s hand, and said:


    ��The community leader didn��t tell me that the owner of this villa is the FBI.��


    ?Roan smiled and opened the trigger of the Glock 18 with Winslow. The young patrol officer swallowed, and an action movie appeared in his mind in which someone sought revenge on Luo An because of his FBI status, so he tentatively asked:


    ��Do you need me to contact support?��


    "No, thanks."


    ?Luo An, who had turned on his "emotional perception", determined that there was no one alive in the villa, so he rejected the young patrolman, took out the key and opened the gate outside the villa.


    ?Hand Winslow, one on the left and one on the right, there was nothing unusual about the lawn. Luo An took out the key and opened the door of the villa, and the two of them rushed in quickly.


    After quickly checking every room to make sure there was no one else in the villa, Luo An took Winslow and walked toward the trees behind the villa.


    ??On the lawn next to the bushes, two corpses exuding the smell of blood were lying.


    The two corpses were both male, looking about thirty years old. They were lying on their backs, their eyes were wide open, their faces were very surprised and shocked, and there was a bullet hole in their foreheads.


    ��No bullet casings were found on the ground. They may have been taken away by the murderer.��


    Winslow lowered his head and looked around. He didn''t find the expected bullet casings, but he saw eight guns ready to go in the bushes.


    The experienced Winslow could tell at a glance that this was a defensive measure designed by Luo An. Looking at the black muzzles of the guns, Winslow swallowed and asked with a numb scalp:


    ��Luo An, who are you guarding against?


    Also, the two guys on the ground have pistols on their backs. They don��t look like thieves. Do you know them? "


    ��I don��t know them, but I can guess who they are. In comparison, I am more interested in the guy who killed them.��


    ??Luo An put away the pistol and narrowed his eyes slightly. He waved his hand and asked Winslow to call the Trace Inspection Department and asked them to send someone here to dispose of the body. Then he turned and went upstairs to the study.


    Half an hour passed, Mona, Chenelle, Lacey and others returned to the villa from the hospital.


    On the lawn, Caroline''s face changed slightly when she saw that the Trace Inspection Department was handling the corpse. However, she had seen corpses before, so she did not vomit, but just covered her mouth.


    Seeing this, Michelle pulled Caroline to the side to divert her attention. Lacey frowned, turned her gaze to Mona, who was being supported by Chenelle, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Mona, can you tell me what��s going on?��


    ??Mona covered her belly and shook her head with a pale face. Lacey was a little anxious. Just as she was about to continue asking questions, Luo An appeared at the door of the villa not far away and said:


    ��Everyone, come to the study room.��


    Lacie and Chenelle looked at each other and walked towards the door of the villa together.


    Since I just moved in not long ago, this study room is still a little empty. Fortunately, the area is enough. Winslow, Chenelle, Lacey, Michelle, as well as Roan, Mona and Caroline, each of the seven people can take one. After sitting down on a chair, the room didn''t seem crowded and there was still a lot of free space.


    ��This is Caroline, Mona��s sister.��


    Roan briefly introduced Caroline��s identity, and then took out Mona��s laptop.


    To protect Caroline, Roan and Mona designed and installed some monitoring, defense, and emergency communication devices around the villa.


    Because of this, although the people who sneaked into the villa destroyed and bypassed some external defense measures, the hidden surveillance designed by Luo An in the corner still recorded what happened in the villa:


    First, a guy with a black mask whose face could not be seen clearly jumped from the fence behind the villa onto the lawn, carefully destroyed several defense measures, and sneaked into the villa.


    ?Ten minutes later, two guys in leather jackets rolled into the lawn from the other side.


    The two of them had average skills and did not notice the defensive measures designed by Luo An. They were about to continue walking when the masked man in front suddenly jumped out of the window on the first floor of the villa.


    ?The three men looked at each other in confusion. The two men in jackets subconsciously prepared to draw their guns, but the man in the black mask was faster, drew his gun and fired. He fired two shots, killing the two men, and then fled the area quickly.


    ��Damn it, if I had known I wouldn��t have gone to the hospital today!��


    ??After watching the surveillance video, Caroline smacked her palms with displeasure.


    ??Luo An designed and prepared two sets of defense measures, one inside the villa and one outside the villa.


    In order to prevent accidental injuries in daily life, the defense measures in the villa need to be turned on manually.


    ?As soon as she discovered something abnormal in the surveillance, Caroline pressed the switch, and the backend contacted Luo An urgently to call the police. At the same time, the defense measures in the villa were activated, preparing to attack the enemies who had sneaked into the villa.


    But today Mona, Caroline and Lacey went to the hospital together, and no one activated the defense measures in the villa, which gave the man in the black mask the opportunity to destroy the defense measures on the outside of the villa and break into the villa.


    Lacie put her chin on her hand and asked:


    ��So, these people are all here for Caroline?��


    ��NO, the target of the two men in jackets is indeed Caroline.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, played the next surveillance video, and said coldly:


    ��But the guy with the mask was targeting me.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 556： Mona is sick, clues, looking for the mask man

    Chapter 556 Mona is sick, clues, looking for the mask man


    A three-story villa in a community northwest of the FBI''s headquarters in Washington.


    ��Coming for you?��


    Hearing Luo An��s words, everyone present was surprised. Mona��s face became paler, and Lacey hurriedly asked:


    ��What��s going on? How do you know that for sure?��


    ��Watch the surveillance.��


    ? Luo An pushed the laptop and showed the surveillance screen inside to everyone.


    ??In this villa, Luo An installed a lot of hidden surveillance cameras. In addition to Mona and Caroline''s bedrooms and bathrooms, Luo An didn''t even spare his own bedroom.


    ? Luo An installed five monitoring devices from different directions in several different corners, which can clearly show everything happening in the bedroom.


    ??Everyone looked at the computer screen and saw the man with a black mask sneaking into the villa, going straight to the study on the second floor and Luo An''s bedroom, and starting to rummage for items.


    I don��t know what the goal of the man in the black mask was. In short, he searched for a long time but couldn��t find anything. Finally, he turned and walked towards Mona and Caroline��s room.


    ??The time the man in the black mask spent entering Mona and Caroline''s room to rummage did not exceed four minutes in total, but the time he spent rummaging in Luo An''s bedroom was far more than ten minutes.


    In the end, the man in the black mask found nothing. He turned around and went downstairs, climbed out of the window and was about to leave. Then he met two men in jackets.


    After the surveillance screen was played, the air in the study became extremely quiet.


    ��I have found out the identities of the two men in jackets.��


    ??Luo An typed on the computer keyboard a few times, and pictures of two white men appeared on the computer screen.


    ?Before Winslow contacted the Trace Inspection Department, when Mona, Caroline and others were rushing back from the hospital, Luo An went upstairs and stayed for a while.


    During this time, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Jawali, briefly describing the appearance of the two men in jackets. Jawali quickly found out and confirmed that they were the ones he had described before. Caroline went there, the "young guys" working for the "old guys".


    Jawali sent the two people��s information to Mona��s computer. Luo An checked it carefully and found that one of them was a Yeluzi killer and the other had worked for a pro-independence group. Neither of them were ordinary people.


    Winslow and others also quickly read the information from the two men in jackets. Chenelle frowned:


    ��Luo An, you are right, the man with the black mask is most likely targeting you.��


    ??Mona''s face darkened, a flash of worry flashed in Caroline''s eyes, Lacey raised her head and asked doubtfully:


    ��Luo An, who have you made enemies with recently? In other words, what items did you take?


    ??This man with a black mask is obviously here to look for something from you. "


    ��I��m thinking about it, but I haven��t thought of it yet.��


    ?Luo An closed his eyes and rubbed his temples with a headache.


    From joining the No. 5 Investigation Team, to being promoted to the Special Investigation Team, and then to being transferred to the No. 13 Investigation Team, Luo An solved many cases along the way.


    ?Looking back at these cases one by one, Luo An has made enemies with so many people along the way that the list cannot be written on a piece of paper.


    ? Luo An closed his eyes and meditated. Winslow and others had no thoughts and could only continue to check the surveillance screen.


    Michelle supported Mona beside her, thought for a while, and asked:


    ��Can you find the fingerprints of the man in the black mask?��


    ��Can��t find it.��


    Chenelle shook her head, Winslow frowned slightly and replied:


    ��This guy was wearing gloves and two black shoe covers.


    In addition, this guy''s movements have the shadow of an army. He is cautious and pays attention to details, leaving basically no clues. "


    ��No, there are still clues.��


    ?Luo An opened his eyes, leaned forward and pulled the computer over, and said in a deep voice:


    ��The height of the cabinet in my room is 170cm. This guy was standing next to the cabinet, and the top of the cabinet only reached his earlobes.


    The distance from the earlobe to the top of the head is generally 20cm, and this guy''s height should be about 190cm.


    1.9 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure, suspected to be from the military, with strong skills, quick reactions, and sharp marksmanship..."


    As he spoke, Luo An narrowed his eyes and gradually stopped talking. Just as Lacey was about to ask, Luo An suddenly raised his head and said:


    ��Everyone, split up and check the surveillance video in and around this community.


    ??It is impossible that this man with a black mask left no other clues except the surveillance in my bedroom. "


    ��OK!��


    "no problem!"


    Winslow and others all nodded in agreement. After a few brief explanations, everyone filed out, and soon only Mona, Caroline and Roan were left in the study.


    ??Mona sat on a chair in the corner, holding her belly and looking pale, while Caroline sat next to her and whispered comfort.


    Everyone left, Luo An walked to Mona and hugged her gently, and asked in a low voice with a worried face:


    ��What did the doctor say about the test results?��


    ??Mona tilted her head and leaned into Luo An''s arms, and replied in a low voice:


    "Some inflammation, just take medicine and rest for a while." Luo An nodded but said nothing, and then turned his eyes to Caroline next to him.


    ?Caroline opened her mouth to speak but didn''t say anything. Luo An''s eyes moved slightly when he saw this. He picked up Mona by the waist and walked to another unoccupied guest bedroom not far away.


    ??Laying Mona flat on the bed, Luo An lowered his head and kissed Mona gently on the forehead, comforting her in a soft tone:


    "Then you have a good rest today. Caroline will stay with you. I will be back later."


    "I see."


    ??Mona knew that the current situation was a bit special, so she reached out and touched Luo An''s face, raised her head and kissed the corner of his mouth, with a pale smile on her face:


    ��Be more careful.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An smoothed the messy hair on Mona''s forehead to the side, helped her tuck the quilt, stood up and left the guest room.


    The door closed, and Luo An''s face suddenly darkened. He pulled Caroline to the side and asked in a solemn voice:


    "what happened?"


    ��Don��t look so ugly, it��s not yet the end of life and death.��


    Caroline patted Luo An on the shoulder, then took out the medicine and handed it to him, explaining:


    ��Mona didn��t lie to you, it was really just some inflammation.


    ??But because Mona likes to drink cold water and eat cold food for a long time, her gastrointestinal condition is not good to begin with. In addition, her monthly calendar is irregular, and a bunch of diseases all burst out in these few days, which is why she became like this. "


    ��OK.��


    ??Confirmed that Caroline was telling the truth, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief.


    ??Walked into the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, took out a bottle of stamina potion and poured it into it. Carrying the kettle, he walked into the guest room and placed it on the cabinet. Luo An looked at Caroline, who was taking care of someone:


    ��It��s up to you, Mona.��


    "Do not worry."


    ?Caroline nodded and gave an OK gesture to Luo An.


    ?Lexi was left to help take care of and guard the two daughters. As soon as Luo An walked out of the villa, Chenelle came over and said seriously:


    ��Luo An, Winslow and I checked the community surveillance and couldn��t find the man with the black mask.��


    Winslow next to him frowned:


    ��That guy is very cautious. I suspect he has visited this community before, otherwise he would not know the location of the surveillance cameras so well.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and he led the two of them to the position of the community leader. As he walked, he asked:


    ��Were there any suspicious vehicles before the man in black mask broke into the villa?��


    "No."


    Winslow and Chenelle shook their heads together. Michelle next to them thought for a while and said:


    ��There were several taxis parked on the road in the east part of the community.


    But the location of those taxis is a bit remote, and the surveillance cameras cannot record the driver��s face. "


    "taxi?"


    Luo An looked slightly moved and asked:


    ��Can you see the license plate numbers of those taxis?��


    ?Michelle held Mona��s laptop in her arms, raised her head and replied:


    ��The surveillance cameras in the community will not work, but the cameras at the intersection not far away will work.��


    ��Then check the identities of these drivers.��


    "no problem."


    ? Michelle nodded, sat in the car and started typing on the computer keyboard. Fortunately, this work was not troublesome. She could just apply to enter the system as the FBI.


    ?At the same time, Luo An also took Winslow and Chenille to obtain the records of vehicles entering and leaving the community before and after the villa was broken into from the hands of the community leader.


    While the three of them were checking the records, Michelle found out the identities of all the taxi drivers:


    ��Luo An, these are the people.��


    ? Luo An looked at the computer and suddenly spotted a familiar figure.


    "It''s him?!"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 557： Mask man’s identity, clues, credentials, pursuit

    Chapter 557: Mask man��s identity, clues, credentials, pursuit


    "who?"


    ?? After Luo An finished speaking, Winslow and Chenelle immediately looked up at the computer screen, and Michelle also looked down at the photos of the drivers.


    But the three of them looked carefully for a moment and all looked puzzled, because they had never seen any of the drivers.


    ��Luo An, who are you talking about?��


    Winslow was confused and asked:


    ��These people seem to have nothing to do with the cases we have handled?��


    ��Upper left corner, second, the guy named Etwang.��


    Looking at the white man with short hair, expressionless face and a bit of mixed race characteristics on the computer, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said:


    ��This guy really has nothing to do with the cases we handled, but I��ve seen him before.��


    ? Chenier was stunned for a moment, then tentatively guessed:


    ��Meet you while taking a taxi?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ������x3


    ? Chenelle, Winslow, and Michelle looked at each other in confusion. Roan threw the entry and exit records aside and explained:


    ��This guy is the guy Mona and I met when we came to Washington, D.C. before.��


    ?? Luo An briefly described the incident when he first came to Washington, D.C., to undergo a review and inspection by the headquarters.


    ?This driver is the taxi driver who stopped them when they just got off the plane (Chapter 361)


    ??This driver is taciturn, has calluses on his hands, and has military habits in his body movements, which has attracted Luo An''s attention.


    Luo An initially guessed that the other party was coming for him and Mona, but his "emotional perception" found that the driver had a normal attitude towards the two, acted normally, and only treated them as ordinary passengers.


    He dropped the two of them at the door of the hotel, got the fare, and the driver drove away from there without looking back.


    "Etwang, 40 years old, unmarried, has been on the battlefield, retired due to injury, and has been in prison for intentional injury. He is 187 cm tall and weighs around 190 cm in shoes."


    Chenelle read Etwang��s message and frowned:


    ��Has this guy been following Luo An?��


    ?Winslow and Michelle were moved when they heard this.


    ��No.��


    ? Luo An shook his head. The "emotional perception" in his mind was enough for him to detect whether there was a stalker around him, who had a bad attitude towards him, and who was trying to do harm to him.


    ?Although his memory has not reached the point of photographic memory, it will definitely leave an impression on those who have seen it once, and the impression will be even deeper on those who have seen it a second time.


    ??This taxi driver is Etwang. Luo An is sure that he has only met him once, and the other person has not followed him.


    ��But we can��t rule out the possibility that this guy has investigated me secretly.��


    Looking at the picture of Ete Wang with an expressionless face on the computer, Luo An sneered and asked:


    ��Michelle, where is this guy��s address?��


    Michelle knocked on the keyboard a few times and replied:


    ��A community in northeast Washington, D.C.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, stood up and clapped his hands:


    ��Let��s go and have a chat with this driver!��


    ��Understood!�� x3


    ����


    An hour later, northeast of Washington, D.C., in a civilian area.


    ??This is Roan''s second time coming to this area. The last time he came here, he was looking for the widow of Nokwick (the deceased in the park) and looking for her to investigate clues.


    ?On the road outside a small apartment dominated by red bricks, two black cars were parked on the roadside.


    ?Winslow and Chenelle each led several SWAT members and raided the apartment from the front and back.


    After a while, Winslow walked out of the apartment with an ugly expression:


    ��Team leader, there is no one in the apartment.��


    ? Luo An��s expression remained unchanged:


    ��Any clues?��


    Winslow raised the data cable in his hand and frowned slightly:


    ��A safe was found in the kitchen fireplace, but it had been opened and contained no contents.


    There appeared to be a laptop on the table in the bedroom, but it also disappeared.


    It seems that Etwang had already taken his things and ran away before we came here. "


    ??Luo An put the pistol back into his pocket, turned to look at Michelle, and asked:


    ��Can you find out where the taxi in Ettewang is?�� ????��Checking now.��


    In the back seat of the car, Michelle typed on the computer keyboard quickly. After a long time, she raised her head and said helplessly:


    ��Sorry, I can��t find it.��


    "It doesn''t matter."


    ?Luo An was not angry. Michelle''s computer skills were at an average level, not much better than his own, and far inferior to Mona''s.


    Before asking the question, Luo An was already prepared for failure and prepared a second plan.


    ?Taking out his mobile phone and punching in the number, the call was quickly connected:


    ��Sir, it��s me, Luo An.��


    "Um."


    Veranis on the other end of the phone nodded and said softly:


    ��I have issued orders and requests to various law enforcement agencies in Washington, D.C., and as long as Etwang is still in Washington, D.C., we will be able to find him.��


    ��Thank you, sir.��


    The phone hung up and it took time to find someone, so Luo An handed Michelle the phone and asked her to keep in touch at all times, and then walked into the apartment.


    In the apartment, Chenille was leading the SWAT team members to search for clues. When she saw Luo An, she immediately came over with a notebook she had just found and handed it to him.


    Opening the notebook, there was a bunch of dates and numbers inside. Chenelle frowned and guessed:


    ��Probably a ledger.��


    ��Thank you for your hard work, put it away first.��


    There was a lot of content in the notebook and I couldn��t read it all in a while, so Luo An returned it to Chenelle.


    ??Going into the bedroom to search for a while, he didn''t find anything. He left the bedroom and walked into the study. Luo An opened the drawer on the cabinet and found a bunch of data cables, plugs, mechanical parts and other items.


    Just as Winslow was about to speak, Luo An''s expression suddenly changed. He took away the messy data cables and found a dark red card about the size of a phone card among a pile of mechanical parts.


    ?Seeing Luo An discovering new items, Winslow and Chenie immediately came over and asked:


    "What''s this?"


    ��Maybe it��s a certificate.��


    Luo An replied casually, his face not very pretty.


    In the original [Hollywood tycoon murder case] (Chapter 326), Luo An defeated the female killer Jian Naiya in the hotel (Chapter 335)


    ??In the case of the female killer Jian Naya, Luo An obtained a certificate for a criminal website that was similar to a phone card, which was also a metal card.


    The difference is that the metal card of the female killer Janaya is gray-white, while the one in front of her is dark red, but the two are the same size, and the magnetic strips on them are also very similar.


    ?? Later, under the contact of the team leader Potente Byrne, the FBI Interpol and other law enforcement departments began to cooperate with the Special Investigation Team to deal with the criminal website (Chapter 338)


    ?At the time of the investigation, Winslow and Chenelle had not yet joined the Special Investigations Unit.


    After listening to Luo An��s narration, the two of them were very surprised. Chenier thought quickly and guessed after a while:


    ��Is there a new underground criminal website? Is this card the login credentials for the new website?��


    "maybe."


    ??Luo An handed the metal card to Chenier and asked her to put it away and prepare to continue looking for clues.


    At this moment, Michelle suddenly ran into the apartment with her mobile phone and shouted:


    ��Team leader! We��ve found Etwang!��


    ��Well done!��


    Hearing this, Luo An immediately walked out quickly with Winslow and Chenelle, and asked at the same time:


    ��Where is this guy?��


    The apartment scene was handed over to two SWAT operators, and the remaining SWAT operators quickly ran to their personnel carriers.


    ��That guy is driving to Baltimore, northwest of Washington, D.C.!��


    ?A few people quickly opened the door and got into the car. Michelle fastened her seat belt in the back seat and explained:


    ��Etwang robbed a passerby��s SUV with a weapon, and the passerby called the police. The Metropolitan Police immediately informed us of the incident.��


    ��Grab a car? It seems that Etwang really wants to get a few more stars.��


    ??Luo An chuckled in the driver''s seat. Seeing that all three people were fastening their seat belts, he immediately put down the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The car roared and moved forward quickly.


    ����


    ??Baltimore, the largest city in the federal state of Maryland, is an important seaport city on the Atlantic coast.


    ??On a straight road from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore City, a brown off-road vehicle was driving crazily. Its dangerous behavior of constantly overtaking attracted many passers-by and car owners to curse.


    The off-road vehicle quickly disappeared from sight. Before the passers-by and the owner could calm down for a few seconds, a faster black SUV suddenly rushed out from them!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 558： Chase on the highway, successful arrest

    Chapter 558: Chase on the highway, successful arrest


    ?At night, at nine o''clock, on a straight road from Washington, DC to Baltimore City, some vehicles were speeding forward at a constant speed in their respective routes.


    ?Suddenly, a brown off-road vehicle swerved left and right, overtaking these vehicles in various ways, and almost hit passers-by''s cars several times, which immediately caused many drivers to curse.


    ?The off-road vehicle quickly disappeared. Before the passersby and drivers could calm down, a black SUV suddenly flew out from behind the car, bypassed them at a faster speed, and chased after the off-road vehicle in front.


    ��Fu-k!��


    "damn it!"


    ��Where did this guy come from?!��


    The overtaking action of the SUV was more aggressive than that of the previous off-road vehicles, which shocked many passers-by and drivers.


    ?A few grumpy guys reacted, yelled a few curses, and immediately prepared to reach out for their guns and have a fast and furious game on the road.


    Dududu��


    Suddenly, the window of the black SUV in front opened, and the co-pilot put a red and blue flashing light on the roof. The light illuminated the surroundings of the car, making the irritable old man''s face calm and his temper settled down.


    The person behind put the pistol back to its original position, and the person in front also silently slowed down the car to make way for the SUV.


    "very good."


    ??Luo An praised Cheniel in the passenger seat, then passed the Buick car in front and asked without looking back:


    ��How are the preparations ahead?��


    In the back seat of the SUV, Michelle tapped the computer keyboard a few times and quickly replied:


    ��The police have blocked the road at the intersection 800 meters ahead, and the tire breaker is ready.��


    ��Good, help me say thank you to the police.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, stepped on the clutch and shifted the accelerator, and the SUV''s forward speed suddenly increased by a few points!


    ?In a brown off-road vehicle that was moving quickly, a white man with short hair saw the SUV getting closer and closer to him. He was in disbelief and had a tense expression on his face.


    ?The right hand put the accelerator in gear and stepped all the way, suddenly passing a white Toyota. The short-haired man turned the steering wheel to block the car behind him.


    ??The owner of the white Toyota car behind saw the car in front suddenly slow down and subconsciously turned the steering wheel to avoid it. Under the influence of huge inertia, the car immediately rolled sideways uncontrollably!


    �O


    The rolling white Toyota left a pile of parts on the ground. In the horrified eyes of the driver of the Ford sedan not far away, the two cars collided head-on!


    Boom��


    ??Huge collision sounds resounded through the night sky, and the two damaged cars that collided instantly blocked the road. The short-haired man looked at the rearview mirror and sneered, put the gear in gear and stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle sped forward again!


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ?Two passers-by and cars collided and the road was blocked. While the other passers-by and the car owners were yelling curses, they quickly applied the brakes and slowed down their vehicles to prepare to stop.


    "damn it!"


    In the SUV, Winslow''s face darkened instantly, Michelle''s eyes were full of anger, and Chenelle in the passenger seat was also very angry, but when she noticed that the speed of the car had not slowed down at all, she immediately turned around and asked in surprise:


    ��Team leader, what are you going to do?��


    ��Everyone, sit tight and hold on to the armrests!��


    Luo An yelled, and then without waiting for the three people to reply, he suddenly turned the steering wheel to the left. The SUV instantly rushed to the left. The front wheels pressed against the masonry in the middle of the road and jumped up, flying into the opposite lane!


    score


    The SUV hit the ground heavily and continued to speed forward, startling the passers-by in the opposite lane, the car owner and Chenille.


    Luo An��s goal was just to pass over the two colliding cars. He quickly turned the steering wheel and drove the SUV back to the original lane, and continued to pursue the off-road vehicle.


    ��Shit!��


    ?The distance of eight hundred meters is not that far. The short-haired man in the off-road vehicle has already seen the police at the intersection in the distance, as well as the tire breaker and other interception devices set up by the police.


    Even as he was cursing, the short-haired man was not too panicked. The car he grabbed was an off-road vehicle. The road was lined with land instead of trees and grass. The road was a little rough, but the car could still drive.


    ?Hence, the short-haired man did not hesitate and immediately turned the steering wheel, intending to forcefully break out from the side of the blocking device deployed by the police.


    boom! boom! boom!


    At this moment, several gunshots suddenly reached the ears of the short-haired man. He subconsciously looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the SUV was catching up again!


    "What''s going on?!" The man with the short hair looked surprised and couldn''t believe it. Before he could react, the left rear tire of the off-road vehicle had been blown out by the bullet fired by Chenier on the co-pilot. Luo An also had a short hair. With the man''s shocked eyes, the SUV he drove hit the right rear of the off-road vehicle hard!


    score


    The front of the car hit the side of the car and the rear of the car, making a loud sound. When Luo An made a standard American stop, the off-road vehicle suddenly ran uncontrollably across the road.


    ?The two cars stopped at the same time. Roan, Winslow, Chenelle and Michelle immediately opened the door and ran out of the car. They surrounded the SUV from both sides with pistols and shouted:


    ��Put your hands on the steering wheel!��


    ��Watch your moves! Don��t move!��


    In the off-road vehicle, the short-haired man looked at Chenille and Michelle outside the passenger seat, and then at Luo An and Winslow outside the driver''s seat window. He pondered for a few seconds and put his hands on his hands expressionlessly. on the steering wheel.


    ?Luo An shook the pistol in his hand and then ordered:


    ��Get off the car, move slowly, and don��t make any other movements.��


    ??The man with the short hair glanced at Luo An and reached out to pull the car door.


    Because the short-haired man couldn''t stop his body from twisting, Michelle who was standing outside the passenger window suddenly found a black pistol stuffed in the storage slot of the driver''s door. Her pupils shrank and she hurriedly shouted:


    ��Watch out! He��s going to get a gun!��


    boom! boom! boom!


    While shouting, Michelle pulled the trigger of the pistol without hesitation. The moment the bullet entered his body, the short-haired man opened the driver''s door and took out the pistol, ready to aim at Luo An!


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??Luo An, who has always turned on his "emotional perception", noticed something was wrong with the short-haired man long before Michelle shouted.


    ??The moment the short-haired man opened the car door, Luo An took a step forward before him and stretched out his hand to press the short-haired man''s gun hand. The other man successfully pulled the trigger of the pistol, but all the bullets hit the ground.


    �O


    ??Then Luo An raised his elbow hard and suddenly hit the short-haired man''s chest. There was a muffled sound, and the indescribable severe pain made the short-haired man''s face turn red instantly.


    Taking advantage of the situation, Luo An grabbed the pistol and threw it aside. Luo An grabbed the short-haired man''s clothes with his other hand, pulled him out of the driver''s seat and threw him to the road. He grabbed his knees with both hands and pressed the short-haired man firmly to the ground. Luo An sneered:


    ��Good evening, Mr. Etwang, congratulations on your arrest.��


    Roan''s series of actions were so smooth that Etwang didn''t even have a chance to react. The eyelids of Winslow, Michelle and Chenelle beside him were twitching. They could only see the outline clearly.


    ??The police who came to support not far away were stunned. They didn''t react at all. They only felt that the suspect was controlled by Luo An and pinned to the ground in the blink of an eye.


    ?Etwang, who was pressed on the ground, was also shocked by Luo An''s speed and strength, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    ??But Etwang didn''t speak, he just kept sucking in big breaths. The power of Luo An''s elbow just now was too terrifying. Etwang was sure that his sternum must be broken, his internal organs were also very uncomfortable, and even breathing became very laborious.


    ��Where��s the ambulance? Send to the hospital first.��


    ??Luo An stood up and handed Etwang to the police. Winslow, who was standing next to him, picked up the gun and walked over. He looked at Luo An with a complicated look:


    ��Luo An, are these guys okay?��


    ��It��s okay, I have a sense of discretion.��


    ??Luo An put away his weapon and smiled. Aite was 1.9 meters tall and weighed nearly 200 kilograms. He had extraordinary agility and a lot of muscles to withstand beatings.


    It is easy to kill someone with a direct elbow strike to the heart, so Luo An deliberately missed the target just now and withdrew some force.


    ��OK.��


    Seeing that Luo An was confident, Winslow breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered:


    ��Luo An, what was the name of that move you just made?��


    Luo An turned around, looked Winslow up and down, and asked with a smile:


    ��What, you want to learn?��


    Winslow nodded heavily, his eyes filled with admiration:


    ��Killing the enemy with one blow, so cool!��


    ??Luo An smiled and was about to speak, while Cheniel on the side waved her hands and said loudly:


    ��Everyone! There is something found in the car!��


    ��What clues did you find?��


    ��Computers, money, weapons, etc., and your photos, Luo An!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 559： cross

    Chapter 559 The Cross


    The next day, at ten o''clock in the morning, in a hospital ward in Washington, DC.


    ��Good morning, Mr. Etwang.��


    ??Luo An opened the door and walked into the ward, grabbed a chair and sat down, followed by Winslow, Chenelle and Michelle entering the room.


    ��This is your surgery fee and the cost of your ambulance ride yesterday.��


    ? Luo An smiled and put the two bills on the hospital bed, which showed that the surgery fee + hospitalization fee was more than 60,000, and the cost of the ambulance was not low, more than 3,000 US dollars.


    ����


    ?Etwang was lying on the hospital bed, his eyelids jumped when he saw the numbers in the bill, and his eyes were full of murderous intentions for Luo An.


    Luo An pretended not to notice, poured himself a glass of water, took out the dark red metal card, and asked:


    ��Etwang, let��s not waste any time.


    ?You tell me all the information about the matter, and I will help you apply for a cheaper hospital. The deal is very reasonable, how about it? "


    ����


    The wound on the chest was caused by Luo An, the ambulance was called by Luo An, and the hospital was chosen with Luo An��s help.


    ??The number on the bill is inseparable from Luo An, and now Luo An still uses it as a reason to make deals with himself...


    Aitewang''s eyes turned red again, he gritted his teeth and looked at Luo An, took a few deep breaths, and said:


    ��OK, okay.��


    ?In order to spend less money and avoid debts, Etwang chose to swallow this sigh of relief.


    ��Good.��


    Luo An smiled with satisfaction, took out his notes from the back, and asked:


    ��First question, what is this metal card?��


    ��Identity certificate.��


    Etwang put the bill aside and replied:


    ��This credential is required to log into an underground network.��


    ��Underground website?��


    A strange look flashed in Luo An''s eyes, and Michelle also remembered the previous case.


    Opening Mona''s laptop, Roan asked Etwang to tell him the website address and his account password. Michelle quickly logged in using a metal card.


    ��Sure enough, it��s another criminal website.��


    ?Michelle simply tapped the keyboard a few times, and her face suddenly filled with anger. Winslow and Chenelle came over and took a look, and found that it was full of posts about various illegal activities.


    ?Weapons, unique items, human trafficking, human organs, photos of minors, and various crimes are all available.


    Seeing a post that boasted that as long as the price was enough, they could customize the organs they needed for customers, Winslow and Chenelle''s expressions suddenly became extremely ugly.


    Suppressing the negative emotions in his heart, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and then asked:


    ��So, you went to my villa and took the order from this website?��


    ��That��s right!��


    Without waiting for Etwang to answer, Michel tapped the keyboard a few times, glared at Etwang, and replied:


    ��This guy received an order a few days ago to find a cross in your villa.


    Outside of the country, this guy has received several murder orders in the past! "


    Facing Michelle��s angry gaze, Etwang chuckled nonchalantly and said:


    ��When you live in the Federation, you always need to make money, don��t you?��


    Hearing this, the three Winslows looked at Etwang with an extremely unkind gaze. Luo An noticed another thing, frowned slightly, and asked:


    ��What cross?��


    ��It��s just a cross.��


    When mentioning this cross, Etwang��s face also looked very ugly:


    ��I saw a post a few days ago where someone was looking for a cross and suspected that it was in your hands.


    ?The other party offers $5,000 and hopes someone will go to your villa to look for it.


    ??If found, the owner of the post is willing to pay $30,000 for it. "


    At first, Etwang thought this was a simple theft, but later he found out Luo An''s identity and found it a bit tricky.


    ?So he later found the owner of the post and contacted him via private message to increase the price to US$10,000 before agreeing to go to Luo An''s villa to find out.


    What Etwang didn''t expect was that Luo An actually set up so many things in the villa, and later met two ugly-looking guys in leather jackets who planned to shoot him.


    In order not to be killed by the two people on the opposite side, Etwang had no choice but to shoot the other person first.


    Before sneaking into the villa, Etwang investigated Luo An''s identity. Now that the person was dead, he knew that Luo An would never give up, so he immediately drove home and started running away.


    ��Cross����


    Roan''s eyes moved slightly, guessing something. Before he could ask further questions, Winslow and Chenelle''s expressions suddenly changed slightly. Michelle pointed at the laptop and frowned:


    "Luo An, the owner of that post, sent Etwang a photo of the cross. You can take a look." Luo An did not get up after hearing this, but asked:


    ��Is it a cross that is dark red all over, inlaid with silver rims, and tied to the top by a black rope?��


    The three Winslows looked at each other and nodded.


    ��Fu-k!��


    After receiving a positive reply, Luo An suddenly cursed in a low voice with an unhappy face and ordered:


    ��Contact someone from Krista��s family and ask what��s going on!��


    The Krista family, one of the local families in Las Vegas.


    ?The family��s seventy-year-old Mrs. Krista was the real target of the murderer Hector Jamie (Chapter 454) in the previous [Death in Sleep Case in the Family Villa] (Chapter 441).


    There has always been a treasure legend in the Krista family. According to the legend, the way to unlock the treasure is to combine the ruby ??ring passed down from generation to generation in the family with a cross.


    The cross that Luo An mentioned was exactly the cross in the family''s legend.


    ??Hector Jamie, the prisoner in the original case, pretended to be a gardener and entered Krista''s manor. He wanted to steal the cross and ruby ??ring and find the treasure to make a fortune.


    But unexpectedly, because of his handsome appearance, he was targeted by Krista, who was in her seventies, and was recommended by Krista to Pranay O''Dell''s eldest daughter-in-law, which eventually led to the tragedy in the villa. .


    Hector Jamie had successfully stolen the cross before that, but not the ruby ??ring.


    After committing that case, he not only wanted to avenge the murder, but also wanted to get the ruby ??ring and continue to look for treasures to make a fortune.


    Later, the murder case was solved by Luo An and others, and the cross was also found in the basement of Hector Jamie''s house. After the FBI kept it as a physical evidence for a period of time, it was returned to the Krista family.


    ��OK.��


    ?Michelle nodded heavily and began to sit next to her and type on the keyboard.


    Roan then interrogated Etwang and learned a lot of information from him. For example, the dark red card underground website appeared much earlier than the criminal website that their special investigation team had discovered before.


    ��Luo An, I found out something.��


    ?Suddenly, Michelle��s eyes moved slightly, she sat down next to Luo An with her laptop and whispered:


    ��The murderer of the villa tragedy, Hector Jamie, died in prison a few days ago.��


    Winslow and Chenelle on the side also saw the information on the computer, and their expressions suddenly changed slightly.


    Luo An thought of something, frowned slightly, and then asked:


    ��Where��s the Krista family cross and ruby ??ring?��


    ��All are missing.��


    ?Michelle swallowed and lowered her voice:


    ��In addition, the current situation of the Krista family is very bad.��


    ��Someone died again?��


    ��Several people died.��


    ����


    Luo An was speechless when he heard this. He rubbed his temples, thought for a moment, and said:


    ��Contact local law enforcement in Las Vegas and simply inquire about the situation.��


    "OK."


    ?Michelle nodded and agreed. Although she didn��t know what happened to the Krista family, the matter was now involving Roan, so it was necessary to ask some questions.


    ??The murderer who sneaked into the villa has been caught, and Luo An handed over the follow-up work to Winslow and Chenille.


    ??During the lunch break, Luo An took the time to drive back to the villa to check on Mona''s condition.


    Mona is recovering well, her face is not as pale as before, and her mental state is much better.


    ?Caroline kept urging Mona to drink hot water, which led to Mona needing to run to the bathroom not long after the two chatted.


    ?Walking into the kitchen, Luo An found that Caroline was not only heating hot water for Mona, but also drinking one cup after another. He suddenly looked puzzled and asked:


    ��What are you doing?��


    ��Of course it��s to cure the disease!��


    Caroline put down the water glass, wiped her mouth, and replied with a smile:


    ��It is said in the East that hot water can cure diseases. This is indeed true!


    ??Mona felt so uncomfortable before, but after drinking all the pot of hot water you boiled, she immediately recovered a lot! "


    ����


    Luo An, who had secretly added some [Stamina Potion] to the pot of hot water before, was very speechless. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn''t know how to say it.


    ?But there is no harm in drinking more hot water. Seeing Mona return to the room, Luo An also left the kitchen silently.


    At this moment, Michelle suddenly sent a message to Luo An:


    ��Team leader, someone wants to see you.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 560： [Cross Ruby Ring Curse Case]

    Chapter 560 [Cross+Ruby Ring Curse Case]


    At 2:30 pm, Mr. Clement��s office at FBI headquarters in Washington.


    ??The secretary opened the door, Luo An thanked him softly and walked into the office, and then said hello to Mr. Clement:


    ��Good afternoon, sir.��


    In the office, in addition to Mr. Clement, there is also a middle-aged white man with blond hair and who looks to be in his thirties.


    ?Seeing Luo An walk into the office, Mr. Clement nodded to him, then stood up and introduced:


    ��This is the leader of Investigation Team No. 13, Roan Greenwood.


    ?This is Ethan Murray from Nevada. "


    ��Hello, Mr. Morrie.��


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    The two reached out and shook hands. Luo An vaguely guessed something, but still asked with some doubts:


    ��Sir, what��s the matter with calling me here?��


    Mr. Clement did not answer, but turned his attention to Ethan Mori.


    Upon seeing this, Ethan Mori immediately picked up his briefcase on the sofa, took out a document from it and handed it to Luo An, explaining:


    ��Leader Luo An, I am the chief of staff to the Senator from Nevada, Shermore-Christa.


    A few days ago, after a dinner party, Congressman Shermel Christa, his sister Lucille Christa, and two bodyguards around them, a man and a woman, a total of four people, all left the banquet. Disappeared, no one alive, no dead body.


    The impact of this incident is very bad. I hope you can lead the No. 13 Investigation Team and participate in the investigation of this case. "


    ?Luo An looked at the information in the folder, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he remained silent.


    In the original murder case of everyone in the family villa (Chapter 441), the real target of the murderer was a 75-year-old white woman named Krista.


    Member Seymour-Krista in the document is 40 years old and is the eldest son of the 75-year-old woman.


    Lucille Christa, 38 years old, is the second daughter of the old woman.


    In addition, the old woman also has a third son, 33 years old, named Riester Christa.


    Information in the document shows that the third son was traveling in other countries at the time of the incident and is currently taking over and presiding over the affairs of the Krista family.


    ��Mr. Morrie, I have a question.��


    After thinking for a few seconds, Luo An closed the folder, raised his head and asked:


    ��This case, both local law enforcement in Las Vegas and law enforcement in Nevada have the ability to investigate this case.


    So, why are you looking for me? "


    Chief of Staff Ethan Mori did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Mr. Clement aside.


    Mr. Clement waved to Ethan Mori, who nodded, turned and walked out of the office.


    ?Luo An frowned slightly:


    ��Sir?��


    "sit."


    Mr. Clement motioned to Roan to take a chair and sit down. He pondered for a few seconds and said:


    ��Luan, Nevada is a swing state.��


    Swing state, a term with very federal characteristics.


    There are two political parties in the Federation, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Every four years in the presidential election, the two political parties will compete for votes in the fifty states across the country and find ways to expand their advantages.


    There are fifty states in the federation. Voters in some states often cast different votes. It is possible that they voted for the Democratic Party this time but voted for the Republican Party the next time.


    ?These states where voting ideas are swinging are called swing states.


    ?Luo An nodded. Although he didn��t pay much attention to these things, he had lived in the Federation for such a long time and knew something about it.


    Mr. Clement continued:


    ��In recent years, the battle between Republicans and Democrats in Nevada has become more and more intense. Now it��s 2006, and it��s time to elect a new president.


    Congressman Shermore-Christa belongs to the Republican camp in Nevada, and the family behind him still has some strength. The business and political circles are entangled together, making it difficult for all parties to believe this matter and making the case difficult to investigate. .


    So some local high-level officials hope that our FBI headquarters will send people to investigate and deal with this case. "


    After Mr. Clement finished explaining, Luo An nodded suddenly:


    ?The local area is in a mess, and no one from all parties can trust it, so they have to sit down to talk about cooperation and find an unrelated outsider to break the situation.


    ��In addition, the Christa family also has its own attitude.��


    Mr. Clement then added:


    "The family''s third remaining son, Lister Christa, said that the missing persons were his brother and sister. He is willing to fund law enforcement officers who investigate the case, with 10 million U.S. dollars in special case-handling funds." The families in the city of Las Vegas really know how to solve crimes.��


    Hearing this, Luo An''s face suddenly became serious and he said in a deep voice:


    ��No problem, sir, I will definitely work hard to investigate this case.��


    ��Good.��


    ? Clement glanced at Luo An speechlessly, and after a few brief words, Luo An turned around and left the office.


    Investigation Team No. 13, office area.


    ��So, you have to go on a business trip again this time?��


    Lacey sat on the chair, spinning around in boredom, looking at the documents Luo An got back, and complained with an unhappy face:


    ��And it��s Las Vegas again! Didn��t you say before that you would never go to that casino again if something unexpected happened?��


    ��You��ve already said it, as long as there are no surprises.��


    ??Luo An took the folder and lightly tapped Lacey on the head:


    ��Someone is dead now. Isn��t this an accident?��


    "snort."


    ??Lacie wrinkled her nose and snorted at Luo An. Luo An ignored him, then turned his eyes to Michelle next to him and asked:


    ��You said before that the situation of the Christa family is very bad now. Is this what you were referring to?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Michelle nodded and added:


    ��Also, the cross that the guy in the hospital mentioned has been carried by Councilor Shermore-Christa since we returned it to the Christa family.


    ?The ruby ??ring was worn by his sister, Lucille Christa.


    Now the two are missing, and the cross and ruby ??ring have also disappeared. "


    Winslow, who was next to him, thought for a while and said with a strange expression:


    ��Is there any curse on this cross and the ruby ??ring?��


    Roan and Michelle looked at him doubtfully. Lacey next to him suddenly widened his eyes and clapped his hands and said:


    ��It is indeed possible!


    You see, the 75-year-old woman Christa died in that villa with a cross around her neck and a ruby ??ring on her hand.


    This time her eldest son was wearing a cross and her second daughter was wearing a ruby ??ring. As a result, both of them disappeared, neither alive nor dead.


    Only the third son, who was wearing nothing, escaped the disaster. "


    ������x3


    Seeing Winslow and Lacey with solemn faces, Michelle and Chenelle were speechless, Luo An waved his hands helplessly:


    ��Stop thinking so wildly and pack your things quickly. The plane is ready and we��ll leave soon!��


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    Michelle, Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle all nodded in agreement.


    ?Luo An turned around and walked into the team leader''s office to pack his things. There was a flash of thoughtfulness in his eyes, and he whispered to himself:


    ��Curse����


    ����


    Because Mona had not recovered yet, she had to stay in the villa on Washington, D.C. Road to rest.


    Two hours later, the agents of Investigation Team 13, together with Senate President Ethan Murray, boarded a plane bound for Nevada.


    ?There was no talking all the way, and after a few hours of flight, everyone arrived in Las Vegas smoothly.


    ?The long flight required rest, so everyone took a taxi to the hotel they had booked in advance, ready to rest for a night before officially starting the investigation tomorrow.


    ??Suddenly staying in a hotel alone, Luo An actually felt a little uncomfortable. After packing up his personal belongings, he lay on the bed and read the relevant information provided by Chief of Staff Ethan Mori.


    Ding dong��ding dong��


    ?Suddenly, there was a sound of ringing the doorbell at the door. Luo An got out of bed and asked:


    "who?"


    ��It��s me, Michelle.��


    Opening the door to let the other party in, Michelle didn''t waste any time. She immediately picked up her laptop and showed it to Luo An, with a shocked expression on her face:


    ��Roan, do you remember that Lexa O��Dell who is only 19 years old this year?


    I just found out that she is engaged to the 33-year-old third son of the Christa family! "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 561： analysis, clues, suspicion, interrogation

    Chapter 561 Analysis, clues, suspicion, interrogation


    ?Las Vegas, Winslow, Chenelle, Roan, Michelle, and Lacey were sitting on the sofa in the living room of a certain hotel room.


    ��One is 19 years old and the other is 33 years old. Is this a distortion of human nature or a moral issue..."


    ��Stop!��


    Waving to interrupt Lacey who was sitting next to her, Luo An was speechless and said:


    ��Where did you read these words?��


    ��Online.��


    Lacie grinned and replied:


    ��I recently met some people from Eastern countries on the Internet. They have a TV show that always says this sentence at the beginning. I think this sentence is very appropriate now.��


    ����


    ? Luo An rubbed his temples speechlessly. A certain Eastern program was only produced in 2003, and now it is 2006. This meme is not outdated now.


    ��Stop talking about these useless things and focus on this case.��


    ??Luo An casually took an apple from the table, stuffed it into Lacey''s arms to shut her up, then looked at Michelle and said:


    ��Tell me what you found.��


    ��OK.��


    Michelle typed on the keyboard a few times, showed the information to everyone, and said:


    ��The Christa family has three legal heirs.


    ?The eldest son, Seamore Christa, did not take over the family business and chose to enter politics. He was a state legislator before his disappearance.


    The second daughter, Lucille Christa, took over the entire family business after her mother died. She was the president of the group before she disappeared.


    ?The third son, Lister-Christa, has been having fun for many years and has traveled all over the world on adventures.


    ?Five days ago, the eldest son, the councilman, and the second daughter, the president, disappeared. The third son was immediately called back to start handling the family business. "


    Winslow nodded and asked doubtfully:


    ��What��s the engagement you��re talking about?��


    ?Michelle looked strange and said:


    "On the third day after the disappearance of the eldest son and second daughter, that is, two days ago, Lexa O''Dell and Lister Christa suddenly announced that they were engaged, and the outside world was immediately in an uproar."


    ? Lexa O''Dell, the only survivor of the original [Villa Case] ??(Chapter 441), is 19 years old and the current sole leader of the O''Dell family.


    ��From any angle, there are big problems here.��


    Lacie grabbed the computer, pulled the page to the top, pointed at the information inside and said:


    ��You see, after the second daughter of the Christa family took over the family business, she had a conflict with Lexa Odell because of business issues, and the two were inextricably linked.


    ?So, is there a possibility: Lexa O''Dell chooses to capture the thief first and capture the king first, and directly sends people to physically kill the eldest son and second daughter of the Christa family.


    Then she married her third son, who didn��t know much about business, and gradually annexed the other family��s business. "


    ��Isn��t this a big sacrifice?��


    Winslow held his chin and said dumbly:


    ��Don��t forget, Lexa O��Dell is only 19 years old, and marrying a 33-year-old man is too����


    ��You don��t understand the world of women.��


    Lacie shook her head, patted Winslow on the shoulder, and said:


    ��Also, don��t forget two things:


    ?First, Lexa O''Dell was alone and on her own, withstanding a lot of pressure and enemies, to forcefully lead the O''Dell family''s business out of trouble. Her methods were tough and sharp.


    Second, Lexa O''Dell lived with a killer for a long time before returning to the O''Dell family (Chapter 333). She had seen blood, but she had never done it herself.


    At the same time, the life experience with the killer also caused Lexa O''Dell to have problems with her emotional orientation.


    She likes mature men who are older than her, and she even disliked the young Luo An for this reason (Chapter 459).


    ��There is no need to say the following sentence.��


    ??Luo An glared at Lacey, Lacey chuckled, and Chenelle beside her pondered for a few seconds and said:


    ��Is there another possibility that the third son actually found someone to kill his eldest brother and second sister in order to seize the family property?��


    ��It��s possible, but unlikely.��


    Michelle took back the computer, typed on the keyboard a few times, showed a stock curve chart to everyone, and said:


    ��After the eldest son and second daughter disappeared, even if the third son returned to the family to sort out the business, the group��s stock price continued to fall.


    It wasn��t until Lakesha O��Dell and her third son announced their engagement, and Lakesha O��Dell strongly intervened in the Christa family��s business, that the group��s stock recovered a lot.


    ??Furthermore, the third son has been traveling around the world these years and has basically never learned anything about business. "


    Chenelle shook her head:


    ��You might as well be hiding your strength and biding your time while pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.��


    ?A few people discussed for a while, and finally all turned their attention to Luo An:


    ��Team leader, what should we do next?��


    ��You��ve been looking at business and family matters, don��t ignore Nevada politics.��


    Luo An rubbed his temples, answered a few words casually, thought for a few seconds, and said: "In addition, the case cannot be solved by guessing. We still need to start with the crime scene and the experience of the crime.


    The eldest son, the second daughter, and their personal bodyguards, a total of four people, could not have disappeared without leaving any clues.


    ?Winslow, Michelle, and Lacey, the three of you are responsible for investigating the dinner party on the night of the crime.


    ?For example, the identity of the guests, whether they were absent, who left the banquet, and the route of the eldest son and second daughter after leaving the banquet, etc.


    Chenelle, come with me to talk to Lexa Odell and that Riester Christa.


    As the younger brothers of the two missing persons, and possible younger siblings in the future, the two of them definitely knew something. "


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    ����


    The next day, FBI Las Vegas branch, a temporarily borrowed office.


    ?On both sides of the long table in the conference room, Roan and Chenelle sat together, and opposite them sat Lexa O''Dell.


    Today, Lacosa O''Dell is still wearing a red women''s suit, with heavy makeup and red lips like blood.


    ?Although she is only 19 years old, her temperament developed from being in a high position for a long time makes her very aggressive and oppressive when she is serious.


    ��We meet again so soon, Team Leader Luo An.��


    Lekesha O''Dell picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, then chuckled:


    ��I just didn��t expect that you would actually regard me as a suspect.��


    ��Life is always full of surprises and surprises.��


    ??Luo An was completely unaffected by the other person''s temperament and attitude. He replied with a smile, tilted his head and gave Chenier a look, indicating for her to start recording, then opened the file and said:


    ��Besides, this isn��t the first time you��ve met the suspect, is it?��


    "really."


    Lekesha O''Dell nodded:


    ��In the original [villa case], some people suspected that I was responsible.


    I didn��t expect that it had only been so long before the Christa family members disappeared, and some people suspected that it was me. This is really interesting. "


    ?Luo An stopped talking nonsense and asked directly:


    ��You and Riester-Christa are engaged, what��s going on?��


    Lekesha O''Dell leaned back, crossed her legs, folded her hands around her chest, and said softly:


    ��Simple, a deal.��


    ��What deal?��


    ��Use my body in exchange for the Krista family��s business.��


    Roan frowned slightly, Chenelle paused in her writing, and Lexa O''Dell smiled:


    ��Why, is it difficult to understand?��


    ??Luo An shook his head. He had always turned on "Emotional Sensing" and made sure that the other party was telling the truth. He smiled and said:


    ��It��s not difficult to understand, I just didn��t expect Miss Lacosa to be so direct.��


    ??Lakesha O''Dell''s words clearly told Roan and Chenelle that her marriage to Lister was for the Christa family''s business.


    ��I��ve always been honest.��


    ?Lekesha O''Dell smiled:


    ��It��s just that many people don��t believe what I say.��


    ��So, the disappearance of the two Krista family members and their bodyguards has nothing to do with you?��


    "certainly!"


    ��Then do you know anything related to the disappearance of Seamore and Lucille?��


    ����


    Hearing this question, Lexa O''Dell suddenly fell silent.


    Upon seeing this, Chenier slowly raised her head and looked at the woman across the conference table. Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang.


    Pressing the answer button, Lacey on the other end of the phone sounded a little hasty:


    ��Luo An, we found the four missing people!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 562： What Lakesha ODell did behind her back

    Chapter 562 What Lacosa Odell did behind the scenes


    FBI Las Vegas Branch, a temporarily borrowed office.


    ��Have the four missing people been found?��


    ?Hand out of the conference room with the phone in hand, Luo An stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office area, looking at the scenery outside the window, frowning slightly, and asked:


    ��Where did you find it? Tell me the details.��


    ��Someone gave us a call and found it.��


    Lacey on the other end of the phone had a very strange tone and explained:


    ��After Michelle, Winslow and I arrived at the dinner scene on the night of the crime, we began to investigate the hotel��s surveillance, dinner guests, and the flow of people after the dinner.


    After checking for a few minutes, a hotel receptionist suddenly came over and said that someone called us.


    Winslow and I were confused, but we walked to the front desk and answered the phone.


    There was a strange woman''s voice on the other end of the phone. After Winslow and I revealed our identities, the other party gave an address and then immediately hung up the phone.


    Michelle stayed at the hotel to continue investigating. Winslow and I immediately rushed to the address the woman mentioned, which was an abandoned building in the north of Las Vegas, and found the four missing people inside. "


    ��How are the four of us doing?��


    ��All dead, each with a muzzle in his head.��


    Looking at the corpse in front of her, Lacey said with an ugly expression:


    ��Among them, Councilor Shermore and his sister, President Lucille, their bodies still have traces of being tortured.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then asked:


    ��Are there any signs of the body being disposed of?��


    Lacie was a little confused:


    ��What kind of processing are you talking about?��


    ��Such as antisepsis, or freezing, etc.��


    "No."


    Lacie shook her head and then said:


    ��But Winslow and I are certain that this abandoned building is definitely not the scene of the first crime.


    Coupled with that phone call, I seriously suspect that someone deliberately moved the body here and asked us to find it! "


    "I see."


    Luo An nodded:


    ��And I can probably guess who did it.��


    Without waiting for Lacey to ask, Roan ordered her and Winslow to call the Trace Inspection Unit and take the body back to the FBI branch for processing, and then hung up the phone.


    ?Looking at the busy scenery outside the window, Luo An''s lips curled up slightly, he turned around and pushed the door back into the conference room.


    In the conference room, Chenelle and Lexa O''Dell sat opposite each other with expressionless faces. After Roan entered the room, he smiled and said:


    ��Two ladies, there is good news. The four missing people have been found.��


    ��Congratulations, Team Leader Luo An.


    On the second day after arriving in Las Vegas, I found such an important clue. "


    ??Lekesha O''Dell picked up the coffee on the table, smiled at Roan, and then asked:


    ��So, can I leave?��


    ��Sorry, that can��t be done.��


    ??Roan sat back down to his previous position, looked at Lacosa O''Dell with a half-smile, and briefly described what Lacey said just now about someone calling her.


    After hearing this, Chenelle��s expression changed slightly, and she raised her head and stared closely at Lexa O��Dell. The smile on Lexa O��Dell��s face was still there, and she asked:


    ��Leader Luo An, do you suspect that person is me?��


    ��The person calling is definitely not you.��


    ?Luo An shook his head and said:


    ��But the person behind the call, I highly doubt it��s you.��


    Lexa O''Dell smiled and shook her head, ready to deny the matter. Before she could speak, Roan said first:


    ��Miss Lacosa, there are some things we��d better talk about openly and honestly.


    In this world, as long as you do something, it will definitely leave traces, and what I am best at is looking for them.


    ?It doesn��t seem like a good choice to deny leaving now, but let me keep staring at you from now on, right? "


    ����


    As soon as the words fell, the air in the conference room suddenly became extremely quiet. Luo An and Lexa O''Dell looked into each other''s eyes expressionlessly, neither saying a word.


    ?As time passed by, Lexa O''Dell suddenly smiled:


    ��As expected of Team Leader Luo An, his case handling skills are really amazing.��


    Luo An chuckled:


    ��So, you admitted about the corpse?��


    "Yes, I asked someone to send the body."


    ??Lakesha O''Dell stopped talking nonsense and directly admitted that before coming here, she asked her subordinates to reveal the body to Roan''s team members at the designated time.


    Following this, Lakesha O''Dell added:


    "But I was not the one who killed them, it was just my men who found their bodies before anyone else." Chenier snorted coldly:


    ��Do you think this sentence is true?��


    ??Lakesha O''Dell chuckled, glanced at Chenelle with disdain, and ignored her at all.


    Roan, who has always turned on "emotional perception", can confirm that what Lexa O''Dell said next is true, and it was indeed not her who sent people to kill four people.


    But there were still some doubts, so Luo An asked:


    ��Why are you doing this?��


    Lekesha O''Dell was silent for a moment and said:


    ��There are two reasons.


    First, the news that Shermore and his sister Lucille had been killed should not be revealed too early.


    Because of this news, the share price of Christa Family Group will plummet. "


    ? Lexa O''Dell wants to take control of the Christa family group, which reflects badly on her.


    Chenelle frowned slightly and said doubtfully:


    ��If the stock price plummets, wouldn��t you be able to buy stocks faster and take control of the Christa Family Group faster?��


    ��No, a plummeting stock price is not a good thing, because it will attract more people to buy it, and it may even attract malicious sharks.��


    Roan smiled, looked at Lexa O''Dell, and said:


    ��It��s okay for stocks to fall, but you must be prepared.


    ??It is most cost-effective to hold the bodies of the four missing people, release some news from time to time, and use some means to reasonably control the decline of stocks and buy them at the bottom. The dead are sometimes more useful than the living. "


    industries


    Lexa O''Dell clapped lightly, looked at Roan with approval, and said:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, seriously, have you ever felt that being in the FBI is not interesting?


    How about coming to my company? I can give you a very good position. "


    Roan picked up the coffee and took a sip without answering. Chenelle snorted softly and then asked:


    ��What is the second reason?��


    ��The second reason is naturally Team Leader Luo An beside you.��


    Lexa O''Dell chuckled lightly, crossed her arms over her chest, a flash of admiration flashed in her eyes, looked at Roan and said:


    ��A hundred percent crime detection rate is really an unimaginable figure!


    When I heard that Team Leader Luo An was involved in the investigation of this case, I already decided to hand over the body to you.


    Instead of waiting for Team Leader Luo An to find out about me, it would be a better choice for me to take the initiative, right? "


    Chenier glanced at Luo An with bright eyes. Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and asked:


    ��Where did you find the four missing people?��


    ��When I first heard the news that the four people were missing, in order to prevent anyone from framing them, I immediately sent people out to look for them.


    Luckily, my men were very capable and quickly found the four people before everyone else. "


    Lekesha O''Dell took the coffee and drank it in one gulp, and said:


    ��I will have someone send you the information about the first crime scene, the missing route of the four people, etc. later to ensure that all the information is true.��


    ��Good.��


    After continuing to talk for a few words, Lexa O''Dell walked out of the conference room and left the building. Chenelle looked at her back and frowned slightly:


    ��Roan, do you think what Lexa O��Dell said is true or false?��


    ?Luo An smiled:


    ��Most of it is true, but some of it is half-written.��


    ��What words?��


    ��The reason why she gave her body to us.��


    ?Luo An picked up the information recorded by Cheniel and said:


    ��In addition to the two points just mentioned, there should be a third reason.


    ?That means that Lexa O''Dell should have completed her expected control of the Christa Family Group by now, and no longer needs the four corpses to make a fuss.


    ?The corpse is useless. Instead of holding it in your hands and waiting to rot, it is better to leave it to us. "


    ��Fu-k!��


    ? Chenier frowned and cursed in a low voice, feeling extremely unhappy with the 19-year-old figure in the distance.


    Taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the negative emotions in her heart, Chenelle asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ��Call the third son over, we still need to talk to him.��


    Chenier nodded. Before setting off, she suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice:


    "Roan, do you think Lister Christa knows that the bodies of his brothers and sisters have been held in the hands of Lexa O''Dell these days, and even used by Lexa O''Dell to Manipulating the stocks of his family group?"


    ��Who knows.��


    ??Luo An''s eyes flashed with a faint light, and he laughed softly:


    "I have a hunch that this "fianc��" is probably a very interesting person."

 Chapter 563： Riester Christas ideas and plans

    Chapter 563 Riester-Christa��s Ideas and Plans


    Two hours later, the FBI Las Vegas branch, a temporarily borrowed office.


    Same office, this time with a different visitor.


    ??The man has short dark brown hair, a pair of black glasses on the bridge of his nose, broad eyebrows, and a high-end black suit. He smiles and makes people feel very kind.


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    ??The man was Riester Christa, the third remaining son of the Christa family. He stretched out his hand to Luo An and said with a smile:


    ��I��ve heard of Team Leader Greenwood from Lacosa before, who is good at handling cases and is handsome.


    When I saw it today, I found that I had underestimated it a lot. "


    ��Hello, Mr. Lister, please sit down.��


    ?Luo An chuckled, stretched out his hand and shook the other person''s hand. The two sat down and exchanged a few words. Luo An brought the conversation to the main topic:


    ��Mr. Lister, where were you on the night of the incident?��


    ��I am traveling abroad.��


    ?Liester chuckled and looked calm:


    ��Many people know about this matter. There were many people around me at the time, so it was easy to investigate.��


    After a few non-nutritious questions, Luo An continued:


    ��Before I came here, there were many rumors from the outside world that it was Mr. List who killed his brother and sister. What do you think of this?��


    ��Slander, slander.��


    ?Liester shook his head and said:


    ��Semore and Lucille are my biological brothers and sisters, and I definitely did not do this.


    To be honest with Team Leader Greenwood, my dream since childhood has always been to travel around the world and explore mysterious rumors around the world, rather than dealing with the business in the company, which I am not good at. "


    ??Liester said that he only planned to hold his brother and sister''s lap to eat, drink and have fun, and had no motive to kill the two of them.


    Chenier frowned slightly when she heard this, and looked at Luo An calmly. Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and then asked:


    ��Have you done anything since Councilor Shermore and President Lucille disappeared?��


    ��I sent people to look for them.��


    ��Who are you sending?��


    ��There are all the people in the family and the detectives who paid to find him.��


    ?Liester took a sip of coffee and said:


    ��If Leader Greenwood needs it, I can give you the list of those people.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An agreed and then asked:


    ��Have these people found any clues?��


    ��A few things have been found, but the body has not yet been found.��


    ��Corpse?��


    Hearing this word, Chenie immediately raised her head, and Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Mr. Lister has confirmed that Councilor Shermore and President Lucille have passed away?��


    "uncertain."


    ?Liester shook his head, put down the coffee cup, and said:


    ��Dan has been missing for so long, and no one has contacted us to ask for ransom or make demands.


    The family has been psychologically prepared for what happened to Shermore and Lucille. "


    ��Very good reason.��


    Luo An smiled and nodded, then changed the topic and asked:


    ��I heard that Mr. List and Miss Lacosa are engaged?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Rister said:


    ��Lakessa is beautiful and powerful, so she will be a good wife, isn��t she?��


    ��My brother and sister have just disappeared, so it��s not a good idea to get engaged so quickly.��


    ��Follow the authority when things are urgent, our family doesn��t care much about this.��


    ��So, Miss Lacosa, have you sent anyone to look for Councilor Shermore and President Lucille?��


    "certainly."


    "did you find it?"


    "nor."


    ����


    Luo An and Riester looked at each other quietly for a few seconds, then took a sip of coffee and asked:


    "There are many questions that remain unsolved in this case. Our No. 13 Investigation Team needs some information on the work experience, travel arrangements, and movement of protective personnel around Congressman Shermore and President Lucille before they disappeared. I hope Riester Sir, you can give us this information." ? ? ? "No problem, I''ll have someone bring it to you later!"


    ?Liester nodded repeatedly:


    ��If you have any other needs, just ask Team Leader Greenwood, and I will definitely cooperate with you!��


    ??Continuing to talk about other issues, Luo An stood up and sent Lister away.


    Before the other party left, Luo An once again stretched out his hand to shake Riester''s hand and said with a smile:


    ��Miss Lacosa is very beautiful, congratulations to Mr. List.��


    ��When we get married, I will send an invitation to Team Leader Greenwood.��


    ?Liester��s face was full of joy and he said:


    ��Team Leader Greenwood must come then.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An smiled and nodded in agreement, then suddenly remembered something, slapped his head and asked:


    ��I would like to ask, have you decided on the names of your children after marriage? I think this matter needs to be thought about more in advance.��


    ��It��s too early, I haven��t thought about it yet.��


    ??Loose his hand, Lister looked at Luo An and said:


    ��But it��s Christa after all, isn��t it?��


    After a few brief greetings, Liester took the people away. Chenier put away her notebook, looked at the other person''s disappearing back, turned to look at Luo An, and asked in a low voice:


    "How about it?"


    ?Chenelle knew that Luo An was very good at "micro-expression analysis" and could judge the truth and falsehood of other people''s words.


    ??Although she didn��t quite understand how Luo An did it, after handling so many cases together, Cheniel was convinced by Luo An, because more than 90% of his judgments were correct.


    ��There are many truths and few lies.��


    ??Luo An shook his head, turned and walked back to the conference room. Just now, he relied on the "emotional perception" in his mind to confirm that Rist''s statement that it was not him was the truth, that is, he was not the mastermind behind this case.


    Besides, Riester said that he knew that the people sent by Lacosa did not find Councilor Shermore and President Lucille, which was a lie.


    ?That is to say, Liste knew that Lakesha had found the bodies of her brother and sister.


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Chenie��s eyes suddenly widened and she said in disbelief:


    ��Liester knew about this and still pretended not to know?


    ??He just watched the corpses of his brothers and sisters being controlled by Lexa O''Dell, and allowed Lexa O''Dell to take this opportunity to cause trouble and annex the shares of the Christa Family Group? "


    ��So, Lister is not simple either.��


    ??Luo An poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Cheniel, then poured himself coffee and said:


    ��Remember my last question?��


    ��You mean, the child��s name?��


    ��The first name is not important, the important thing is the last name.��


    When Riester said the child��s last name was Krista, his mood and attitude were extremely firm.


    Coupled with the fact that Lister said that he was not good at handling company affairs and that the company''s stock price fell after his brother and sister disappeared, Luo An quickly guessed Lister''s thoughts and plans:


    I am not good at handling company work. Rather than letting others occupy the magpie''s nest and take away the Christa Family Group through some means, it is better to actively bring people in.


    The person Riester chose was none other than Lexa O''Dell.


    First, Lexa O''Dell has the ability and means, and is good at handling company affairs and dealing with those with evil intentions; second, Lexa O''Dell is a woman.


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Cheniel frowned and said:


    ��Lakesha O��Dell is a woman, and after her death, the business must be handed over to her children.


    ??As long as the child born between the two still has the surname Krista... No, even if the surname is not Krista, the child will still have the genes of the Krista family in his blood.


    ?So the Christa family group is still the Christa family group in the end. "


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Luo An nodded. Cheniel was silent for a few seconds, her brows still furrowed tightly:


    ��Can��t Lexa O��Dell see what Lister is planning?��


    ��Lakesha O��Dell is so smart, she must have figured it out. But from her point of view, this is also a good choice.��


    Roan drank the coffee in one gulp, patted Chenelle on the shoulder, and said with a smile:


    ��Don��t forget, the only person left in the O��Dell family is Lexa O��Dell.


    The children she gave birth to with Riester were both the blood of the Christa family and the blood of her Odell family.


    The two of them had the same goal, and this time it was cooperation, so Lister turned a blind eye to Lexa O''Dell''s troubles.


    As for marriage...it''s just a transaction. "


    ����


    ?Chenelle was silent for a long time, then she raised her hand to drink up the coffee in the cup and said with emotion:


    ��The thoughts and ideas of these rich people are too complicated.��


    Roan ignored Chenelle, who was in a complicated mood. After waiting for a moment, he took a large pile of documents from Riester''s secretary, then took out his mobile phone and called Lacey:


    ��How��s it going over there?��


    ��The body is being transported back.��


    Lacie replied:


    ��Also, there is something that I feel is a little strange.��


    "What?"


    ��The cross and the ruby ??ring have disappeared.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 564： Analyze leads, stalkers

    Chapter 564: Analyzing Clues, Tracker


    One o''clock in the afternoon, Las Vegas, FBI branch, a temporarily borrowed office.


    ��Thank you three for your hard work.��


    ?Winslow, Michelle and Lacey walked into the office one after another. Chenelle smiled and brought a cup of coffee to each of them. Roan asked casually:


    ��How is the body?��


    ��Has been sent to the Trace Inspection Section.��


    Lacie picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, wiped her mouth and replied:


    ��It will take some time for the autopsy report and the ballistics test of the bullet in the body to come out.��


    ��Besides, this is what a woman stopped us on the way and brought us something.��


    After Lacey finished speaking, Winslow put down the large cardboard box in his arms and breathed slightly:


    ��The woman said she was Lexa O��Dell��s secretary.


    ??Here are the address, photos of the first crime scene, and information such as the route Congressman Shermore and President Lucille took when they left the dinner hotel on the night of the crime. "


    ?Michelle then raised the laptop in her arms, then took out a hard drive from the cardboard box in front of Winslow and said:


    ��This is the surveillance video from inside and outside the hotel on the night of the incident. I got them all back.��


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded, pointed to the pile of documents on the desk in front of him, and said:


    ��This is the work experience, schedule, surveillance near the government, surveillance near the company, and the movement of protective personnel around Congressman Shermore and President Lucille in the two months before his death.


    Next, it��s time to unravel the cocoon. "


    After a simple reply, the agents returned to their respective seats and began to fill their stomachs by eating some of the food Luo An had called.


    During the meal, Chenelle briefly described the previous conversation between Lexa O''Dell and Lister Christa.


    After listening to Chenelle��s narration, Lacey swallowed the chicken roll in her mouth and complained:


    ��So, for her own selfish purposes, Lexa O��Day hid the four bodies that had been found long ago so that the law enforcement agencies in Nevada could not find them, which attracted us to the scene.


    Is her operation obstructing law enforcement?


    ?Also, Riester-Christa clearly knew that the bodies of her brother and sister were hidden, but she still pretended not to know? He is such a good brother. "


    ?Michelle wiped her mouth, nodded seriously and said:


    ��Lakesha O��Dell��s behavior is definitely obstructing law enforcement from a legal perspective!��


    ��But it was Nevada law enforcement she was obstructing.��


    Winslow finished a Big Mac in several gulps, spread his hands, and said with a smile:


    ��Didn��t Chenille say that when Lexa O��Dell heard that Team Leader Roan was taking us to participate in the investigation of this case, she immediately sent the body out.��


    ��Let Nevada law enforcement have a headache when it comes to obstructing law enforcement.��


    ?Luo An finished the food on the table, washed his hands and returned to his seat, saying:


    ��Semore Christa, a state legislator, and Lucille Christa, president of a corporate group.


    ?Two high-status figures and their bodyguards were killed together. The mastermind behind this case is definitely extraordinary.


    The body has been found, but we still need to find out the truth about this case and catch the man behind it! "


    ��Understood!�� x4


    After eating the food, the agents briefly distributed their information and began to carefully search and analyze clues.


    ��The scene where the four people disappeared is located at the corner one kilometer west of the Dinner Hotel.��


    ?Chenelle posted the car��s driving video and other information on the whiteboard and said:


    ��There were two cars in total. Councilor Shermore and his male bodyguard took one car, and President Lucille and her female bodyguard took one car.


    ?There is no surveillance at this corner intersection, and there are few passers-by. When the four people were taken away, no one knew what happened. "


    ��If you want to kidnap four adults, the number of people who take action cannot be small, and they must drive away from the scene.��


    ?Luo An put his hand on his chin and thought for a few seconds, expressed his thoughts, and then asked:


    ��Michelle, are there any suspicious vehicles on the roads near this corner?��


    ��Not found yet.��


    Michelle shook her head and explained:


    ��The roads are basically filled with ordinary cars, taxis, etc.


    I didn��t see a van, an eight-seater MPV, etc. "


    Winslow thought for a while and asked:


    ��What about the school bus?��


    "What?"


    ?Michelle was stunned for a moment, then reacted and showed the surveillance video to everyone, shook her head again and said:


    ��There are no school buses, no vans, no trucks, not even garbage trucks.��


    "Wait a moment."


    As soon as Michelle finished speaking, Luo An, who had been watching the surveillance video, suddenly said:


    ��Michelle, please rewind the scene a little bit.��


    "What''s wrong?"


    "What did you find?" Hearing Luo An''s words, Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle immediately came together and found that the computer contained a surveillance video of the entrance to the dinner hotel.


    ?Michelle followed Luo An��s order and moved the surveillance screen backwards for a moment.


    Suddenly, everyone discovered that before the dinner officially started, when Councilor Shermore and President Lucille arrived at the hotel gate by car, a suspicious black car was seen following the highway in the upper left corner of the surveillance video.


    ��This car also appeared in another surveillance video.��


    ??Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the computer from his seat, tapped the keyboard a few times, called up a video recording, and introduced:


    ��This is surveillance outside the parking lot of the company of Christa Family Group a week ago.��


    ??The four Winslows quickly turned their attention to Luo An''s computer screen, and sure enough, they found the same black car in the surveillance corner.


    Lacie''s eyes lit up, she slapped her hands and said:


    ��Someone is following Lucille Christa!��


    Winslow quickly asked:


    ��Michelle, can you find out who is driving that car?��


    "Wait a moment."


    ?Michelle quickly turned around and went back to type on the keyboard. After a long time without finding it, Chenelle joined the search team.


    After a moment, the two women��s eyes lit up and they said in unison:


    "found it!"


    ?Luo An quickly asked:


    ��Name? Identity?��


    ��Pressley Henry, 44, a former Las Vegas police officer.��


    Michelle said:


    ��Two years ago, he was fired from the Las Vegas Police Department for gambling, drinking, and maliciously assaulting colleagues.


    Since then he has had no employment record and has never filed a tax return.


    ?In addition, several of this guy��s ex-girlfriends have applied for restraining orders against him, strictly prohibiting him from contacting her again or getting too close to her. "


    Luo An chuckled and asked:


    ��Can you find out where he lives now?��


    "certainly."


    Michelle scrolled down the computer page and replied:


    ��It��s in a neighborhood south of Las Vegas!��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, stood up from his chair and said:


    ��Winslow, Lacey, go get the equipment, and let��s go talk to this guy who likes to fight with his colleagues.��


    ��Understood!�� x2


    ����


    Half an hour later, south of Las Vegas.


    Outside a small but exquisite villa, a black SUV slowly parked on the side of the road.


    While inspecting and sorting out the equipment, Lacey looked at the small villa diagonally opposite and raised her eyebrows:


    ��Wow, this is not a place you want to live if you don��t have money to file your taxes.��


    ��This is Las Vegas, and gambling brings countless possibilities.��


    Luo An put the Glock 18 into his pocket and said with a smile:


    ��Maybe it��s money won at the casino.��


    Winslow smiled and said nothing. After finishing organizing their equipment, the three of them got out of the car together.


    �����ˡ�


    Roan and Lacey held weapons and stood on either side of the door. Winslow raised his hand and knocked on the door of the villa:


    ��Hello, is anyone home?��


    After the words fell, the air became quiet and no one answered.


    Winslow leaned over and put his ear against the door to listen, frowning slightly:


    ��There was no sound inside, and it seemed like no one was home.��


    ��No, there is someone in the house.��


    ? Luo An shook his head softly, and the "emotional perception" in his mind clearly found that there was someone on the first floor of the villa, and he was very nervous.


    ??Waving his hand to signal Winslow to retreat, Luo An raised his foot and kicked hard at the door of the villa.


    �O


    With a loud noise, the door of the villa fell down, and Luo An quickly rushed in with his pistol raised:


    ��FBI! open the door!��


    Winslow and Lacey followed closely behind. Suddenly, their pupils shrank and they exclaimed in shock:


    ��Luo An! Be careful!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 565： new missing person

    Chapter 565 New Missing Person


    Winslow and Lacey followed Luo An and rushed into the villa. When they were quickly checking every room, they suddenly found a figure hiding in the kitchen and aiming a gun at Luo An!


    ��Luo An! Be careful!�� x2


    As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the hidden figure turned cold and moved his finger, ready to pull the trigger.


    Luo An, who had already discovered the opponent with his "emotional perception", moved faster. The second before he was hiding and preparing to shoot, Luo An had already swooped over like a cheetah.


    �O


    Hit his figure with a kick, grabbed the weapon from the opponent''s hand with his right hand, moved his eyes slightly, aimed at the opponent''s body and suddenly pulled the trigger.


    Snapped!


    ??In the astonished eyes of Winslow and Lacey, the next second Luoan pulled the trigger, two patches and thin metal wires flew out from the muzzle of the gun and stuck firmly on the hidden arm.


    ???????????


    ��Uh��uh��uh����


    ??The sound of crackling electricity sounded, and the face of the hidden figure who wanted to get up to fight back changed, and his body suddenly swung uncontrollably.


    ? Winslow and Lacey quickly walked to Luo An and aimed their guns at the hidden figure on the ground.


    Seeing each other lying on the ground, with six left hands and seven right hands twitching, the two of them looked surprised:


    ��Stun gun?��


    ?Luo An smiled, shook the black pistol in his hand, and said:


    ��It��s still the most high-end and most expensive kind.��


    Winslow grinned, lowered his arms and put away the weapon in his hand:


    ��He lives in a villa and buys a stun pistol. He doesn��t look like a poor person.��


    Turning off the current device, Pressley, who was swinging on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with an unhappy face:


    ��Who are you? Why did you break into my house!��


    ��As I said, FBI.��


    ?Winslow grabbed Presley��s clothes, pulled him up from the ground, and asked:


    ��Who instructs you to do things?��


    ��What?��


    ?Presley��s face was full of surprise:


    "what are you saying?"


    ??Patted Winslow on the shoulder, Luo An stepped forward and said with a smile:


    ��We found out that you were stalking Seamus Lucille-Christa, and now that she��s dead, what do you want to say?��


    ��W-T-F?!��


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Presley was stunned for a moment, then shook his head nervously and said:


    ��No! No! No...it��s not me, it��s not what I did, it has nothing to do with me!��


    Lacie snorted coldly:


    ��Then why are you following her?��


    Pressley looked troubled:


    ��I really didn��t do it!��


    ?Luo An raised the stun gun in his hand and said seriously::


    ��Then give us a convincing reason.


    Don��t forget, you are attacking the police. "


    ?Presley''s face looked very ugly and he was silent for a long time. He said:


    ��OK, my current identity is a private detective.


    Private detective, do you understand? "


    ? Winslow and Lacey frowned slightly, and Pressley continued to explain:


    ��I was hired to keep an eye on Lucille Christa, it��s that simple.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he asked:


    ��Who is the person who hired you?��


    "this��"


    ?Presley swallowed, looked at Luo An''s increasingly cold face, and quickly replied:


    ��He��s Lucille Christa��s boyfriend.��


    "Boy friend?"


    ? Winslow and Lacey were stunned when they heard this word, and Luo An was also a little confused, because there was no such information in the information they had obtained before.


    Presley took a deep breath. Anyway, his mouth was already opened, so he simply told everything he knew:


    ��Guys, the boyfriend I��m talking about is a male model that Lucille Christa found in the past six months.


    Before this, Lucille Krista had found many handsome men, but this time the male model was very motivated. He planned to rely on his "skills" to firmly grasp Lucille Krista. tower.


    But you know, skills can be practiced, but women��s hearts are very fickle.


    In order to prevent new competitors from appearing, the male model asked me to follow Lucille Christa and pay attention to her movements at all times. "


    ������x3


    After Pressley finished explaining, Roan, Winslow and Lacey looked at each other, and they all thought of the old woman in the Christa family who was still looking for men to play with in her seventies.


    While speechless, the three of them also felt a little emotional:


    Mother and daughter are of the same blood, and Lucille Christa is indeed her biological child.


    Turning his eyes away from this matter, Luo An briefly talked about the disappearance of four people at that corner on the night of the incident, and asked:


    ��Did you see anything that night?��


    ��No, I wasn��t there that night.��


    Presley shook his head again and said:


    ��The dinner that day was of a very high standard, and I couldn��t get in, so I simply drove away to do another business.��


    Lacey was a little surprised: "You have another business?"


    ��Hey, this is the Federation! There are a lot of similar businesses, okay?��


    ?Presley grinned, and then said mysteriously:


    ��Guess, what is my second business?��


    ? Luo An didn��t say anything, Lacey and Winslow just looked at him quietly.


    "Alright alright��"


    Presley curled his lips, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and whispered:


    ��A certain congressman in Las Vegas has a daughter who is not his biological daughter!��


    ������x3


    Winslow looked at him expressionlessly. A hint of interest in gossip flashed in Lacey''s eyes but was quickly suppressed. Roan rubbed his temples, thought for a few seconds, asked a few simple questions, and finally said:


    ��Get the contact information of the male model, we need to talk to him.��


    Sometimes, people with close relationships know a lot of information that others don��t know.


    Presley spread his hands and said:


    ��Sorry, I can��t contact him anymore.��


    "What did you say?"


    The expressions of Lacey and Winslow changed slightly, and Luoan''s eyes narrowed and asked:


    ��What does it mean to be unreachable?��


    ��I just can��t get in touch with him. He��s lost contact and he still owes me a final payment.��


    ��When was the specific time of loss of contact?��


    ��I��m not sure either. He and I agreed to contact each other every three days. If there are any emergencies, it will be extra.


    ?Three days ago last time, I could no longer contact him. "


    After Pressley finished explaining, Luo An narrowed his eyes. The last three days he mentioned were the day before Congressman Shermore and President Lucille disappeared.


    Without any nonsense, Luo An then asked:


    ��What��s the name of the male model?��


    ��Paul, Paul Baker!��


    ����


    ��Paul Baker, 20 years old, is from California. He is a male model who has appeared on the cover of a well-known magazine. Some media have commented that he has great potential.��


    ?At five o''clock in the afternoon, in a temporarily borrowed office at the FBI branch in Las Vegas, Chenelle pointed to a photo of a handsome and beautiful white young man on her computer screen, and said with a little surprise:


    ��I didn��t expect that he and 38-year-old Lucille Christa would actually have such a relationship.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he asked:


    ��Can you find out the specific circumstances of his disappearance?��


    Chenelle replied while typing on the keyboard:


    ��The local law enforcement department in Las Vegas has some information, and I��m getting it.��


    ��OK, good work.��


    ??Roan nodded, turned around and found Lacey and Winslow huddled together, whispering something.


    Luo An was a little confused when he saw this:


    "what are you guys saying?"


    "Forehead��"


    ?Winslow and Lacey looked at each other, smiled awkwardly, and whispered:


    ��We found that people in the Christa family seem to like people of the opposite **** who are younger than themselves.


    ?Like Lucille Christa and this male model, Lester Christa and Lexa O''Dell.


    ??We were discussing, Seymour-Christa, whether he would..."


    Roan''s eyes flashed with a hint of speechlessness. Just as he was about to speak, Michelle next to him suddenly said in shock:


    ��Everyone, I��ve discovered something here!��


    Hearing this, everyone present hurriedly gathered together, and Luo An asked:


    "How to say?"


    ��I checked on Seamor Christa��s emotional status.��


    Michelle typed on the keyboard a few times and explained:


    ��Then I found out that he had divorced his wife eight months ago.


    But during these eight months, he had an emotional connection with a female reporter named Igilia. "


    Luo An thought of something, his eyes narrowed, and he asked:


    ��How is the female reporter doing now?��


    Michelle swallowed, and the hairs all over her body stood up:


    ��Also missing.��

 Chapter 566： Clues, investigation, Luo Ans analysis, Laceys discovery

    Chapter 566 Clues, investigation, Luo An��s analysis, Lacey��s discovery


    ��The female reporter is also missing?!��


    ?At 5:30 in the afternoon, in a temporarily borrowed office at the FBI branch in Las Vegas, everyone present was surprised when they heard Michelle''s words.


    Luo An thought for a while and asked:


    ��What��s going on with her disappearance?��


    ��Las Vegas police files show����


    Michelle typed on the keyboard a few times, and after a long time pulled up a case record and replied:


    ��A few days ago, Igilia left the newspaper office after get off work normally, but did not go to work the next day.


    ?The newspaper owner found out about this and called her to find someone, but found that no one answered.


    ??Sent people to look for her at her home, but found that no one was home and could not be contacted many times. Finally, they called the police. "


    Lacey followed up and asked:


    ��Have the police found any clues? What are the results of the investigation?��


    "Um��"


    Michelle scrolled down the computer page, was silent for a while, and replied:


    ��No leads, no findings.��


    ��What?��


    Chenelle and Winslow��s eyes widened when they heard this, and Lacey asked hurriedly:


    ��What does ��no�� mean?��


    ��It means ��nothing��.��


    Michelle��s expression was not very good and she explained:


    ��Journalist Igilia��s parents are in Europe. She lives alone in the Federation. She has no relatives, her relationship with her colleagues is average, and she has no friends.


    ??In addition, according to a certain federal law, adults who lose contact within a short period of time cannot be reported as missing, so after receiving the report, the police only visited briefly and went back.


    It was dozens of hours later that the police classified the matter as a missing person case.


    ?But there was still no investigation, because the Las Vegas police were short of manpower and they had to deal with other higher priority cases, such as homicides, shootings, etc., so this missing case was temporarily put aside. "


    ������xN


    After Michelle��s introduction, the air in the office became quiet. After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An bent down and looked at the time of Igillia��s disappearance shown on the file, frowned slightly, and said:


    ��Everyone, the time when the Igilia female reporter disappeared was the same as the time when the Paul male model disappeared. They were both the day before Councilor Shermore and President Lucille disappeared.


    ?This coincidence is really too much of a coincidence. "


    ��Is there a possibility.��


    Lacie thought for a while and said:


    ��This female reporter and male model were sent by someone to contact Congressman Shermore and President Lucille. Now that the task is completed, they took off their vests and left.��


    "Recently, when you are dating a girl, watch more romance movies and less spy movies."


    ??Luo An picked up the folder and tapped Lacey''s head gently, then looked at the agents and said seriously:


    ��Everyone, this female reporter Igilia had a relationship with Senator Shermore; the male model President Paul Lucille had a relationship.


    ?Now that the two are missing at the same time, there is definitely something wrong with it. Let��s focus on these two disappearances first to see what is hidden in them. "


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    ?All the agents nodded in unison, and Luo An then ordered:


    ��Winslow, Lacey, go to the address of the female reporter Igilia, visit her neighbors and colleagues, and get back the nearby surveillance cameras.


    Michelle, Chenelle, you both do the same job on the male model Paul''s side. "


    ��OK!��


    ?A few people nodded in response, picked up their weapons and equipment, and left quickly.


    ?? Luo An stayed in the office, gathering together the information about the disappearance of Councilor Shermore and President Lucille that everyone had retrieved before, and examined it carefully again.


    One night passed quickly. The next day, Luo An called Mona while washing up in the hotel:


    ��Good morning, Mona, how are you?��


    ��I am recovering well and my stomach no longer hurts.��


    ?Washington, D.C., Mona in the villa chuckled:


    "By the way, how''s your case going? Do you need my help?"


    ��No need, you should take good care of yourself first.��


    ??Interrupting Mona��s idea of ??coming to Las Vegas to help, Luo An then asked:


    "Is everything normal in the villa these days?" "Everything is normal, nothing unexpected happened."


    ?Mona replied in a slightly weird tone:


    ��Except Caroline.��


    ��What��s wrong with her?��


    ��She now drinks more than ten cups of hot water every day and forces me to drink it with her, which makes me go to the bathroom like crazy every day.��


    ����


    Ask Caroline to drink less hot water, Luo An and Mona chatted briefly and then hung up the phone.


    Roan arrived at the temporarily borrowed office, where Michelle, Winslow, and Chenelle were all sitting in their respective seats to have breakfast.


    Not seeing Lacey, Chenelle took a bite of the chicken roll and asked casually:


    ��Where��s Lacey?��


    ?Luo An wiped his mouth and replied:


    ��I asked her to check something and she��ll be back later.��


    ��OK.��


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Cheniel didn��t ask any more questions. She picked up the coffee and took a few sips. After everyone had finished their breakfast and took a short rest, Luo An brought the topic to the topic:


    ��How is your investigation going? Do you have any clues?��


    ��No.��


    The team of Michelle and Chenelle, who investigated the male model Paul, shook their heads and said:


    ��According to the investigation, Paul disappeared after leaving the gym that day and driving back to the building that President Lucille bought for him.


    ?After receiving the report, the Las Vegas police quickly found the car Paul was driving before he disappeared in a parking lot halfway.


    ??But there was no surveillance in the parking lot, and there were no fingerprints in the car Paul drove.


    We interviewed some people but did not get any useful information. "


    ��OK.��


    Luo An''s expression remained unchanged. The other party had been missing for so many days. It was normal for him to be unable to find clues in a short period of time. He had been mentally prepared before this.


    Turning his eyes to Winslow, Winslow stood up and said:


    ��There are no clues about the surveillance of the female reporter Igilia.


    ? ? Lacey and I then visited and asked about her neighbors. The neighbors said they hated Igilia because she made a loud noise when she did certain things, which affected other people��s lives.


    ?Other than that, there are no useful clues. "


    ������x3


    ?Michelle and Chenelle were speechless. Luo An rubbed his temples helplessly, pondered for a few seconds, walked to his desk and said:


    ��Let me also tell you what I discovered.��


    Winslow, Michelle and Chenelle sat down obediently. Roan picked up a folder and said in a deep voice:


    ��I have been thinking about why it was Councilor Shermore and President Lucille who were missing, rather than just one of them.


    ??If only Representative Shermore is missing, we can focus more on political issues.


    If only President Lucille is missing, then business problems are more likely. "


    ��But they are brothers and sisters.��


    Winslow looked puzzled:


    ��Can��t the mastermind behind the scenes be targeting the Christa family?��


    ��This may not be ruled out, but there is a problem that cannot be explained.��


    Roan did not deny Winslow��s question, but replied:


    "If the mastermind behind the scenes is targeting the Christa family, then the business of the Christa family cannot be as calm as it is now, and it is impossible for Lister Christa to still have the heart to discuss marriage with Lexa O''Dell. "


    Winslow pondered for a few seconds and nodded. Michelle felt that what Roan said made sense. Chenelle thought about it and asked:


    ��Luo An, you mean that the mastermind behind the scenes is only targeting Councilor Shermore and President Lucille?��


    ��I just think this is more likely. After all, this case also includes a missing female reporter and a missing male model.��


    ?Luo An raised the folder in his hand and said:


    ��So, yesterday I focused on checking the relationship between Representative Shermore and President Lucille apart from the fact that they are brothers and sisters.


    Then I discovered something very interesting. "


    ?Hearing what Roan said, Winslow, Chenelle and Michelle immediately concentrated their attention and straightened their backs to sit up.


    ?At this moment, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, and Lacey''s excited voice sounded on the phone:


    ��Luo An! I found clues about the guy who attacked female reporter Igilia!��

 Chapter 567： Suspect, arrest, familiar website

    Chapter 567: Suspect, arrest, familiar website


    ?In the south of Las Vegas, outside a small but exquisite villa, a black SUV slowly parked on the side of the road.


    ?This is the home of Presley, the former policeman and now private detective who was killed by Luo An with a stun gun.


    As soon as the SUV parked, Lacey walked out of the villa holding a document bag.


    Snapped-


    Opening the door and getting in the car, Lacey handed the document bag to Luo An. Winslow handed her the food he bought and asked with some confusion:


    "what happened?"


    ??Lacie grinned, took the food and ate it without answering. Luo An explained while opening the envelope:


    ��Remember what we found out about the relationship between male model Paul and President Lucille?


    ?This incident gave me an idea, that is, whether there is a private detective investigating the relationship between Semol and Igilia.


    One of them is a state legislator, and the other is a female reporter. The things inside are also very story-telling, referring to follow-up investigations. "


    Winslow raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized:


    ��Presley, a fellow private detective, may take some unplanned photos when he is following and investigating the female reporter Igilia! For example, the scene of Igilia��s kidnapping!��


    ��That��s right.��


    Lacie swallowed the food in her mouth, nodded with a smile, and said:


    ��I just had the idea of ??giving it a try, but I didn��t expect that it would actually pay off!��


    ?Winslow glanced at Luo An with admiration, and quickly turned his attention to the document bag in Luo An''s hand.


    Opening the document bag, Luo An took out a few photos from it.


    ??The photo is not the scene Winslow imagined, in which the female reporter Igilia was kidnapped or murdered, but the scene where the female reporter Igilia left the newspaper office after get off work and drove home when she was followed by a suspicious taxi.


    ��It��s a taxi again?��


    Winslow complained, and Luo An ignored him. He took out his mobile phone and called Michelle and said:


    ��Michelle, I have a taxi license plate here. Please check the identity of the driver of this car.��


    "give it to me."


    After getting the numbers and letters on the number plate, Michelle on the other end of the phone immediately started typing on the keyboard. Within a minute, Michelle immediately replied:


    ��The identity of the driver was found. His name is Essoff Jason. He is 45 years old and has a military background. He has been imprisoned many times for crimes such as robbery and intentional injury.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, put the document bag next to him, prepared to start the car, and asked:


    ��Where does he live?��


    ��Live in Clark County, south of Las Vegas (Chapter 501)!


    ?In addition, Essoff Jason also has a roommate named Matthew Gordon, who has also been in prison for intentional injury and other crimes! "


    ��It��s a familiar place again.��


    Pressing the accelerator with the right hand in gear, the SUV suddenly moved forward quickly. Luo An grinned and added:


    ��Michelle, ask Chenille to contact the SWAT team and work together to arrest people!��


    "clear!"


    ����


    Clark County is a satellite city in the southeastern part of Las Vegas. Most of the people living here are working in Las Vegas but cannot afford to live in the high-rent housing in Las Vegas. By.


    ? Half an hour later, on the southwest side of Clark County, on the street opposite a certain community building, an SUV slowly parked on the side of the road.


    ?Not long after, a black SWAT personnel carrier also slowly parked in the empty space in front of the SUV.


    ��Check the equipment.��


    In the SUV, Luo An hung the communicator on his ear, ordered everyone to organize their weapons, and then asked:


    ��Michelle, how��s it going?��


    ��That taxi is parked in the underground parking lot not far away.��


    ?Michelle quickly replied:


    ��Aisoff-Jason stayed home without work today.


    ?His roommate Matthew Gordon��s consumption records show that he bought some food at a nearby supermarket half an hour ago. "


    At this moment, Winslow suddenly focused his eyes, pointed at a middle-aged white man on the other side of the road carrying a packaging bag, and said:


    ��Matthew Gordon is right there.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Seeing the other party carrying food walking upstairs, Luo An narrowed his eyes, hung up the communicator, and ordered:


    "start to act!"


    "clear!"


    As soon as the words fell, the back door of the personnel carrier opened immediately. Chenille and a group of fully armed SWAT team members filed out. Luo An, Winslow and Lacey, who had arranged their weapons, followed closely behind and rushed into the community building together. .


    ? ? Blockade the elevator, go straight to the fourth floor where the target person is from the stairs, and soon arrive at the designated room.


    With three counts to count, the leader of the SWAT team picked up the hammer and slammed the door hard. Boom!


    Boom��


    There was a loud bang, and the door shattered and fell to the ground inward. Two SWAT members holding explosion shields quickly rushed into the room and shouted at the same time:


    ��FBI! Open the door!��


    ��Don��t move!��


    ��Keep your hands away from the weapon!��


    ��Get down! Get down!��


    ?In the room, in addition to Matthew Gordon, who had just returned from buying food, there were two young white men sitting in front of the TV playing games.


    The SWAT team members rushed into the room, and the three of them were shocked. The two white youths subconsciously prepared to throw away the handle and grab the gun to fight back, but they saw Matthew Gordon next to him who was holding the gun being kicked to the ground by Luo An. The two men immediately took their hands away from the guns and lay on the ground obediently.


    ��Where��s Assoff-Jason?��


    ?Finding that there was no target person in the room, Winslow and Lacey frowned slightly. Luo An found that there was a bedroom next to him that had not been opened, so he waved his hand to signal everyone to go to that room.


    �O


    Winslow kicked open the door and found a large bed in the bedroom. Lying on the bed was a man wearing shorts and shorts, sleeping soundly.


    On the cabinet next to the bed, there are several small packets of white flour in transparent packaging. On the ground next to the bed, there is also a transparent packaging bag that has no flour.


    ?Luo An stepped forward and grabbed the sleeping man''s head. It was the target of their trip, Essoff Jason.


    "take away."


    Luo An was too lazy to talk nonsense. He waved his hand and motioned for everyone to take the four people away. He found that there was a computer next to him, so he immediately walked over.


    Soon, the three of them were escorted out of the room. Essoff Jason was carried away, and flour, pistols and other items were also taken away. Lacey walked to Luo An and asked:


    ��What did you find?��


    Luo An pushed the computer in front of Lacey, pointed at the pages inside, and asked:


    ��Are you familiar?��


    Seeing the red and black website and the red metal card inserted into the computer, Lacey''s eyes narrowed and she said in a deep voice:


    ��Is it the criminal website in the underground world?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Close the computer, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��Interesting coincidence, isn��t it?��


    ����


    At three o''clock in the afternoon, the FBI branch in Las Vegas, a temporarily borrowed interrogation room.


    ??On both sides of the interrogation table, Luo An and Chenelle sat on the left, and on the right sat a middle-aged white man with a lot of white hair and eyes that seemed to be closed.


    ��Hello, Mr. Essoff.��


    ? Luo An opened the folder, placed the photo of female reporter Igilia in front of him, and asked:


    ��Did you kidnap her?��


    As soon as the effect of the flour wore off, Essoff-Jason was very sluggish. He slumped down on his chair, yawned profusely and replied:


    "Um."


    ��Where is Igeria now?��


    "I have no idea."


    "have no idea?"


    Assoff-Jason opened his mouth and yawned widely, and whispered:


    ��After I kidnapped the person, I handed him over to my employer and got the money. I didn��t ask about what happened next, and I didn��t bother to ask.��


    Cheniel narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this:


    ��Employer? What do you mean?��


    ��Someone ordered me to kidnap this woman for $20,000.��


    Assoff-Jason grinned and said:


    ��It��s just kidnapping a woman. It��s simple and easy. The price of $20,000 is pretty good, isn��t it?��


    Too lazy to discuss these matters with Essoff Jason, Luo An asked:


    ��Who is that employer? Do you know his identity?��


    ��I don��t know, I don��t know, I haven��t met.��


    Assoff-Jason looked at the ceiling and said:


    ��But I saw that man��s gold watch. Do you know how much that watch cost?


    A watch, $400,000! Damn it, I should have tied him up that night..."


    ??Assoff-Jason fell asleep again as he spoke. Chenier looked ugly. Roan got up and left the interrogation room. Michelle immediately came over:


    ��Luo An, there are clues found.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 568： The owner of the watch, the possible truth

    Chapter 568 The owner of the watch, the possible truth


    ? Las Vegas FBI branch, borrowed office.


    ?At the desk, Michelle pointed at the red and black pages on the computer and said:


    ��Roan, I just discovered that the employer who hired Essoff Jason to kidnap the female reporter Igilia is the same guy who hired Etwang to go to your villa to find the cross in Washington, DC.��


    "the same person?"


    ?Michelle nodded, then tapped the keyboard a few times to bring up another post, and added:


    ��Furthermore, this employer is also the male model Paul Baker who posted on this underground criminal website looking for someone to kidnap.��


    Winslow grinned next to him:


    ��I feel like this underground criminal website is really a gold mine.��


    Luo An thought for a while and asked:


    ��Can I find out the identity of the employer who paid for the order on this website?��


    ��Sorry, I can��t find it.��


    ? Michelle spread her hands and said that she was generally unable to do this, and Mona might be more confident.


    ��Then let��s take a look at the interrogation record first.��


    ??Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he took the information from Chenier��s hand that the two had just obtained when they interrogated Essoff-Jason, and said:


    ��Eisoff-Jason said that after he successfully kidnapped female reporter Igilia that day, he took her to a highway northwest of Las Vegas at the request of his employer.


    ?On that road, Essoff-Jason saw a black car.


    ?A man wearing a mask got out of the car and took the female reporter Igilia into his black car.


    ?In addition to the man with the mask, there was another man sitting in the back seat of the car. Eisoff-Jason didn''t see the other man''s face clearly, but he only saw a watch worth 400,000 US dollars in his hand. "


    ��A watch, $400,000?��


    Hearing this number, Lacey''s eyes widened and she was speechless, while Michelle was also a little incredulous:


    ��Is that Essoff-Jason guy right?��


    ��He didn��t eat flour at the time, and his eyesight and memory were fine, so he must have read it correctly.


    ??Moreover, this employer placed frequent orders on criminal websites and did not look like he was short of money. "


    Roan handed Michelle the location of the road and said:


    ��So, let��s investigate whether there were any suspicious vehicles or people on the road on the night of the incident.��


    ��OK!��


    "no problem!"


    ?Several people nodded in response and returned to their seats to check the surveillance videos of nearby areas.


    It didn��t take long for Cheniel to make a discovery:


    ��Everyone! I found the car!��


    ��Well done!��


    ??Everyone immediately moved their chairs and came to Chenier''s side. Chenier called up a surveillance video to the computer room and explained:


    ��This is a surveillance video outside a gas station near that highway.


    ??Shortly after the transaction that Essoff-Jason said was completed, the black car appeared on this surveillance. "


    ?Looking at the dark car flashing past the corner of the surveillance video, Luo An asked:


    ��Can you find out who the owner of the car is?��


    ��This is a car owned by a real estate company.��


    Without waiting for Chenier to answer, Michelle first set up the situation behind the car first


    Soon, a photo of a white man with short blond hair, a high nose, sunken eye sockets, and a particularly mixed-race appearance appeared on her computer:


    ��Hamid Hogan, 46 years old, the boss behind the real estate company, in addition����


    ?Michelle clicked on the keyboard a few times and played a video in front of everyone:


    ��This is the scene when Hamid Hogan was interviewed by a media eight months ago.��


    In the video, Hamid Hogan was sitting on a chair in a suit. He calmly faced the questions asked by the host and talked with a smile. He preached that housing prices in the Commonwealth will not fall but will only rise in the past ten years. speech.


    While speaking, Hamid Hogan would shake his hands from time to time.


    In these actions, the golden watch on his left wrist is extremely conspicuous.


    ��Wow.�� Lacey��s eyes lit up and she said:


    ��Although I don��t recognize this watch, I can tell at a glance that it is definitely valuable.��


    "You''re right."


    Cheniere, who was next to her, typed on the keyboard a few times and quickly called up the information on this watch:


    ��A certain commemorative watch by Casio, priced at US$499,990, with only 28 pieces in the world.��


    ?Everyone was silent for a moment. Winslow looked at Hamid Hogan��s net worth of nearly 100 million on the computer screen and asked with some confusion:


    ��So, what conflict does this Hamid Hogan have with Congressman Shermore and President Lucille?


    Not only did they kill the two of them and their bodyguards, but before that, they also sent people to kidnap Igilia, a female reporter who had a relationship with the two, and Paul Baker, a male model? "


    ?Michelle, Lacey and Chenelle frowned, unable to figure out why Hamid Hogan did this.


    Luo An picked up a folder from his desk and said with a smile:


    ��Guys, this might be the reason.��


    ??Several people turned to look at Luo An. Luo An didn''t show any concern. He opened the folder and distributed the paper inside to everyone, explaining:


    ��Remember what I said before that I found some connections between Senator Shermore and President Lucille other than being brothers and sisters?


    This connection is that one of them is a politician and the other is a businessman. "


    ? Lacey and Winslow didn��t quite understand what Roan meant, but Chenelle and Michelle cheered up and thought of something:


    ��Luo An, you mean...��


    ��That��s right, it��s collusion.��


    ?Luo An nodded, said the unpleasant word, and then explained:


    ��I found out before that Congressman Shermore has a good reputation in Nevada because he has built many low-cost houses for the lower class people and provided accommodation and food for homeless people.


    But in addition, Councilor Shermore also proposed to build many high-end residential buildings, parks, entertainment venues and other facilities.


    ?Before these news spread, the facilities had not been built, and even when the land was still deserted, that land would always be purchased by the real estate company owned by President Lucille. Isn''t it a coincidence? "


    ? Winslow and Lacey nodded suddenly, understanding the situation Luo An described:


    The elder brother determines the area to be developed, and the younger sister goes to buy the land first. When the news is announced, the land price doubles and it is easy to make money.


    ��Everyone, I also figured out why Hamid Hogan killed someone.��


    Michelle next to her knocked on the keyboard a few times and explained:


    ��The FBI��s internal database shows that four months ago, Hamid Hogan spent 300 million to buy a piece of land at the corner of a city in Nevada from a company.


    Insider information pointed out that the Nevada state government is preparing to develop that area into a new commercial and tourist area.


    A month ago, the site for the development area was announced, and it turned out to be another area in another city.


    ?Hamideh Hogan went to great lengths to buy land, but all the money he spent was wasted. "


    ��Tsk tsk tsk����


    Winslow and Chenelle shook their heads repeatedly, Lacey smiled disdainfully and asked:


    ��Did Lucille��s company buy the land in the announced development area in advance?��


    ��More than.��


    Michelle tapped the keyboard a few times and added:


    ��The FBI��s internal database shows that the owner of the useless land that Hamid Hogan spent 300 million to buy was actually Lucille Christa.��


    After reading the information on the computer, Lacey sneered on her face:


    ��Sell the land that is actually useless to Hamid Hogan and let him take over.


    Use the money you defrauded from him to buy the right land to be developed and wait for the land price to appreciate.


    Lucille Christa is a woman who eats both fish and fish. She is really ruthless. "


    ��How else could she have been fighting with Lexa O��Dell for so long?��


    Roan smiled. Before Lucille Christa''s death, the entire Nevada, and even nearby California, Arizona, etc., the business industry was driven crazy by her and Lacosa.


    The story behind it is that dog bites dog, but people still have to be caught. Luo An patted Lacey on the shoulder:


    ��To apply for a search warrant and arrest warrant.��


    "Wait a moment!"


    Just as Lacey was about to stand up, Michelle stopped her first, handed the computer to Luo An, and said seriously:


    ��Before taking action, I think this information is more important.��

 Chapter 569： Start catching, sniper

    Chapter 569 Start arresting, sniper


    Two days later, at 8:30 in the morning, in western Nevada, a few kilometers south of Wellington City.


    On the roof of an uninhabited villa, Lacey held a telescope and looked at another villa in the distance, and said silently:


    ��I seem to see a military base.��


    At the end of the target of the telescope, there is a villa with a structure similar to the one under Lacey''s feet.


    The difference is that the villa is luxuriously decorated, with lush vegetation, and the corridors, lawns, gates, and roofs are full of black people patrolling on time.


    There are a very large number of black guards, but it is unclear how many there are because they each have their own patrol area.


    But Lacey only observed more than a dozen different faces for less than three minutes.


    ��The number of people has been found out.��


    Not long after Lacey��s complaint passed, Chenelle, dressed in a suit and wearing glasses and pretending to be a saleswoman, came over carrying a bag of food and said:


    ��I investigated the daily food supply in that villa and found that the number of people was around 30.��


    ��Fu-k!��


    Lacey cursed in a low voice, put down the telescope and walked down from the roof. She looked at Luo An and Michelle who were sitting in front of the computer and studying something in the room, and said:


    ��More than 30 black mercenaries, wearing body armor and holding submachine guns in their hands...Hamid Hogan is so afraid of death? Otherwise, let��s contact the army.��


    ???In the villa under Lacey''s feet, apart from the five members of Investigation Team 13, there were only two SWAT teams with a total of 10 people.


    15 vs. 30, children all know that the winning rate is not high, not to mention that the equipment of the black people on the opposite side is not worse than them.


    ��I have called for support, and three SWAT teams with a total of 30 people are on their way.��


    ?Luo An waved his hand to interrupt Lacey��s suggestion, and then added:


    ��In addition, Hamid Hogan is probably not afraid of death, but is under house arrest.��


    ��House arrest?��


    ?Lacie and Chenelle were slightly startled:


    "what happened?"


    Michelle turned the computer around, showed it to the two girls, and explained:


    "When Luo An asked Lacey to apply for a search warrant and arrest warrant, I found out that from the day Councilor Shermore and President Lucille disappeared, Hamid Hogan began to sell off assets and use various A way to raise money.��


    Luo An added:


    ��Spending 300 million yuan to buy a piece of waste land will indeed strain the financial situation, but it can still last for a while.


    ?In just a few days, Hamid Hogan sold villas, luxury cars, stocks, bonds, and even borrowed a loan shark with compound interest rates.


    All kinds of actions can only mean one thing: he is not the owner of the $300 million. "


    Lacie nodded suddenly:


    "Three hundred million dollars is not a small amount. The owner behind it must be very angry. It is normal to imprison Hamid Hogan."


    Chenelle thought for a while and added:


    ��I also found out another thing just now.


    Several managers responsible for delivering food to the villa said they could not understand what the black people in the villa were saying and that they did not speak English. "


    Lacie frowned slightly and guessed:


    ��Isn��t it English? Is it French?��


    ��It��s not French either, *#%��*����


    Chenelle said a few awkward words and shook her head:


    ��These are words that the managers wrote down. I studied some French and these words are not the way they are pronounced in French.��


    ��*#%��*����


    Roan repeated what Chenelle said, frowned and thought for a few seconds, and said:


    ��It seems to be one of the Niger-Congo languages ??in Africa.��


    Hearing this, Michelle and Chenie looked at Roan with surprise, and Lacey also asked in disbelief:


    ��Do you still understand African languages?��


    ��I don��t understand, I just have some understanding.��


    Luo An shook his head. He had learned some languages ??by rote from Caroline before. Caroline, who was a conglomerate of Oriental languages, had also learned something about one of the largest language families in the world, the Niger-Congo language family. Luo An listened to her Said some relevant knowledge.


    ��Cool.��


    Lacie gave Luo An a thumbs up with admiration, and then guessed:


    ��So, the man behind Hamid Hogan��s imprisonment, the real owner of the $300 million, is a wealthy man from Africa?��


    ��There are not many rich people in Africa, but there are many warlords of various kinds.��


    Luo An replied casually, and at this moment, Winslow came up from the stairs and said seriously: "Team leader, support has arrived."


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction and ordered:


    ��Michelle, stay at the villa and contact Customs and Border Protection to investigate the identities of the black mercenaries.


    Lacie, Michelle, Winslow, grab your weapons and equipment and get ready for action! "


    ��Understood!�� x4


    ����


    Half an hour later, four troop carriers slowly parked on the road in the distance and surrounded the target villa from four directions.


    ��Sniper operations suspended.��


    ??In a certain villa that was used as a temporary base, Luo An and others were studying the layout of the target villa. At this moment, the voice of a SWAT team member suddenly rang through the communicator in his ear, saying:


    ��The target villa has a commanding height, and there are suspected enemy snipers inside. I cannot reach the designated location.��


    ��Sniper?!��


    Hearing this word, the expressions of everyone in the temporary base suddenly changed. After carefully observing the layout of the target villa for a few seconds, a SWAT captain''s expression suddenly turned cold:


    ��The roof in the upper right corner of the target villa is very suitable for snipers to hide. That location has a wide view. As long as the opponent is guarding there, it will be very difficult for us to attack from behind.��


    The face of Lacey next to her changed slightly, and she understood that the other party��s words were true. She frowned and asked:


    ��Is there a suitable place nearby to deal with the sniper?��


    The SWAT captain looked ugly:


    ��There is a location, but when our sniper reaches that location, the enemy sniper can also see him. In the end, the two of them can only compete with their reaction speed to survive.��


    ?This one-for-one tactic made everyone look extremely ugly. Lacey, Winslow and others had no good solution, and finally turned their attention to Luo An.


    ��I��ll take care of it.��


    Looking at the structural layout on the map, Luo An pondered for a few seconds and said directly without any nonsense:


    ��You guys are responsible for feinting in front to attract attention, and I��ll go in behind and kill the sniper.��


    ��What?��


    "But��"


    Hearing this, several SWATs present were suddenly surprised. Winslow, Lacey and others'' expressions changed and they subconsciously wanted to refute, but they were suppressed by Luo An.


    ?put on his body armor, took a sniper rifle and pistol, and loaded up daggers, smoke bombs, and shock bombs. Luo An ordered sternly:


    "start to act!"


    ��Understood!�� xN


    ?Everyone present was either in disbelief or nervous, but they still agreed loudly. Luo An picked up his weapon and rushed out quickly.


    ? After receiving the clear order, a group of SWAT team members immediately ran out of the car with explosion shields in hand and rushed towards the target villa from all directions.


    Seeing this scene, shouts suddenly rang out in the villa. A group of black mercenaries walked up to the predetermined position with weapons, pulled the triggers and fired bullets.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    boom! boom! boom!


    Suddenly, gunshots rang out loudly, and shouts and exchanges of fire resounded throughout the area.


    ?At the same time, in a corner behind the villa, Luo An silently lowered the body of a black mercenary to the ground.


    ?Looking up at the top of the attic of the villa, wiping away a few drops of water from the corners of his mouth from the potion he just drank, Luo An smiled slightly. He looked like a ghost and successfully sneaked into the villa without attracting anyone''s attention.


    boom! boom!


    At the top of the attic of the villa, a sniper, who was all black and could only see his eyes and teeth, fired two shots in a row, but failed to hit the target he wanted to kill. He suddenly cursed a few African curses in a low voice with an unhappy face.


    Because they were ordered to temporarily feign an attack and learned of the presence of a sniper, the SWAT team members who fired were always paying great attention to their own protection while firing.


    ��#��%*!��


    Another shot failed, and the black sniper suddenly became even more irritable:


    ��These **** guys����


    After putting on a new bullet, the black sniper was about to shoot when he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on the back of his neck.


    ??The black sniper��s hair stood on end and his pupils shrank. Just as he was about to stand up, a greeting suddenly rang in his ears:


    ��Hello, Mr. Sniper.��

 Chapter 570： bomb-man

    Chapter 570 Bomber


    In western Nevada, a few kilometers south of Wellington City, a villa.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ��Left! Watch out on the left!��


    ��Get down!��


    ��*#%����


    ?The gunshots continued below the villa. A group of SWAT team members and a bunch of black mercenaries were shooting wildly, and the sound of fierce fighting could be heard.


    ??The battle between the two sides was in full swing downstairs, but at the top of the villa''s attic, the black sniper''s mood was extremely cold.


    ?Due to language differences, the black sniper did not understand Luo An��s greetings to him, but when he was sniping at others, a person suddenly appeared behind him...


    Even if he didn��t believe in ghosts and gods, the black sniper still had goosebumps and hair on his body. He rolled to the left without hesitation, grabbed the pistol at his side with his right hand, and prepared to shoot and kill the sneak attacker behind him.


    Looking at the black sniper who twitched a few times and lost his breath, Luo An grinned and put away the dagger, pressed the communicator next to his ear, and ordered:


    ??Seeing Luo An roll into the room, the black mercenary was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his gun to aim at Luo An.


    ?The next second, a cold light flashed in the black sniper''s eyes, and a stinging sensation suddenly came from his neck.


    Soon, Luo An cleared all the black mercenaries in every room on the third floor.


    ��What?��


    ��Start the attack! Shoot them down!��


    The villa had four floors including the attic at the top. Luo An held the gun with his back against the wall and carefully moved down. He rolled over and rolled into a room on the third floor. He immediately saw a black man holding a submachine gun, standing on the edge of the window and heading downstairs frantically. shooting.


    After hearing Luo An''s words, the SWAT captains on the other end of the communicator suddenly widened their eyes in disbelief. Winslow, Lacey, and Chenelle let out a long sigh of relief. The SWAT team members were full of admiration, and everyone responded in unison. road:


    ��Understood!�� xN


    Since the sniper has been eliminated by Luo An, the feint attack can be stopped. Several SWAT captains led their teams and ordered:


    ��Right! Surround from the right!��


    boom! boom! boom!


    Suddenly, the sound of fighting downstairs in the villa became more intense. The black mercenaries instantly felt great pressure. After several teammates died one after another, they had to retreat slowly behind the villa.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??Luo An was faster than him. He pulled the trigger three times in a row in the blink of an eye, shooting two guns in the chest and one in the head. The black mercenary fell to the ground with his eyes distracted. Luo An turned around and started moving to other rooms.


    ??Luo An��s next goal is to find the target person of this trip, Hamid Hogan.


    ??Seeing the shining red objects tied to the waists of the two men, Luo An''s pupils shrank suddenly and he shot them to death without hesitation. Then he turned around and jumped out of the window of the room, while shouting through the communicator:


    ��Fu-k! Watch out for the a** bomb!��


    ����


    "what did you say?"


    The black sniper''s pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously covered it with his hands, but the warm blood still spurted out uncontrollably from his neck, dyeing the sniper''s black skin a bright red in the blink of an eye.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Three consecutive gunshots continued to ring out in various rooms on the third floor of the villa. Luo An became more and more skilled in the action of shooting two guns in the chest and one in the head.


    ?Beside the bodies of the two black mercenaries, Luo An leaned against the wall with his gun, stared at the stairs, pressed the communicator, and said:


    ��The enemies on the third floor have been cleared, the target...��


    At the same time, inside the villa, after dealing with the black sniper, Luo An wiped off a few strands of blood spattered on his hands, took out a pistol from his waist, and began to move downstairs silently.


    ��The plan is successful, the sniper has been eliminated! Start an all-out attack!��


    Before he finished speaking, two black men suddenly rushed up from the stairs.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    At first, when Luo An said that all the enemies on the third floor had been eliminated by him, several SWAT captains and SWAT team members looked shocked and admired.


    ??But Luo An''s words were a bit too hasty, and there were gunshots everywhere, so everyone couldn''t hear Luo An''s words clearly.


    Just as he was about to press the communicator and ask, two deafening explosions suddenly came from the villa in front of him!


    Boom��


    Boom��


    ??The sound of the explosion resounded through the sky, and everyone in the SWAT team subconsciously fell to the ground to avoid the attack and protect themselves. Then they felt that they were hit by a pile of glass shards and random items.


    After waiting for a few seconds, everyone stood up and looked up at the location where the explosion came from. They were shocked to find that the right half of the second and third floors of the villa had completely disappeared, and only the blazing flames were burning fiercely.


    ? Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle��s expressions changed drastically when they saw this scene. They quickly pressed the communicator and asked:


    "Luo An? Where are you? How are you?" "I''m fine!"


    In the water pool next to the rockery behind the villa, Luo An slowly climbed up from it and spit the water in his mouth aside. The pain from several parts of his body made his expression slightly ferocious. He picked up the communicator next to him and said seriously :


    ��The other party has a bomb tied to his body! Be careful!��


    ��A bomb strapped to your body?��


    Hearing this, Winslow, Lacey and Chenie suddenly changed their expressions, and several SWAT captains and team members also felt nervous.


    Before anyone could continue to ask questions, a bunch of black mercenaries suddenly ran out of the villa, rushing towards them with shining red objects tied around their waists!


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Crab special!��


    ��Mother-fu-ker!��


    ��*#��%����


    ??Looking at this group of black mercenaries who were rushing toward them like crazy, with bombs strapped to their bodies, everyone present suddenly changed their expressions and hurriedly aimed at each other and fired wildly.


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    A burst of more intense gunfire than before suddenly rang out, and the black mercenaries fell to the ground one after another. But the moment they fell to the ground, the red light on their bodies suddenly stopped, and the next second, several familiar explosions resounded through the sky again!


    Boom��


    Boom��


    Boom��


    After the explosion, Winslow and the SWAT team members got up from the ground. Looking at the large pit not far in front of them and the clods of soil mixed with unknown black and red substances on their bodies, their expressions suddenly became extremely ugly.


    Smelling the faint smell of meat in the air, Lacey and Chenelle''s faces turned pale. They subconsciously felt a little nauseous, but they quickly suppressed this feeling.


    "go ahead!"


    The SWAT captains also had bad expressions on their faces. They quickly regained their composure and loudly ordered:


    ��Attack!��


    "clear!"


    boom! boom! boom!


    Boom��


    Boom��


    Soon, gunfire broke out again, and the team members knocked down the bomber to avoid the explosion and continued to advance into the villa.


    ?At the same time, on the other side, Luo An broke into the villa again and quickly found the room where the mercenaries made bombers.


    ����


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??Throwing the dagger hard, it pierced the neck of the black mercenary on the left, causing him to fall to the ground. Then, with the familiar shot of two shots to the chest and one to the head, Luo An quickly killed another black mercenary on the right.


    ?Looking at the pile of bombs that had just been wrapped on the table in front of him, Luo An snorted and turned around to walk out of the room, pressing the communicator:


    ��Bomberman has stopped production and is attacking with full force!��


    "clear!"


    ??Bypassing several black mercenaries, he slowly walked into the dark basement without turning on the lights. As soon as Luo An reached the end of the stairs, an orange-red flame from the muzzle suddenly burst out from the corner of the basement.


    ?Bang bang bang bang bang bang��


    ?Countless bullets hit the end of the stairs in an instant. Luo An relied on his sense of danger to roll forward one step ahead and successfully avoided this killing move.


    ??But after the enemy stopped attacking, Luo An could not see where the opponent was because the lights were not turned on in the basement and the opponent''s natural protective color.


    Fortunately, after the battle started, Luo An always had emotional perception in his mind, and he always relied on other people''s emotions to sense the enemy''s position.


    boom! boom! boom!


    The next second, three gunshots rang out. In the corner, a black mercenary looked at the two muzzles on his chest and the pain coming from his eyebrows. An impossible thought flashed through his mind, and he finally closed his eyes. , fell to the ground and lost his breath.


    ?Finding the switch and turning on the light, Luo An ignored the black mercenary''s body and quickly walked to a white man lying on the ground not far away.


    ??The white man on the ground has short blond hair, a high nose, sunken eye sockets, and a particularly obvious sense of mixed race. He is the target person Luo An wants to arrest during this trip, Hamid Hogan.

 Chapter 571： The truth of the case

    Chapter 571 The truth of the case


    Villa basement.


    Successfully found the target person, but Luo An��s face didn��t look very good.


    Because at this time Hamid Hogan was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, there were two **** gun muzzles on his chest, and his clothes were soaked in blood.


    "damn it."


    He cursed in a low voice. The situation at the scene was not difficult for Luo An to guess. It was most likely the owner behind the black mercenaries. He heard that the villa was attacked, and in order to vent his anger and other reasons, he asked his men to shoot and kill Hami. De Hogan silenced.


    ???Frowning, he reached out and touched Hamid Hogan''s neck. After waiting for a few seconds, he found that the other person''s heart was still beating weakly. Luo An opened the system page, took out a bottle of [Hemostatic Potion] and poured it into the other person''s mouth.


    The [Hemostatic Medicine] took effect quickly. Seeing that the wound on Hamid Hogan''s chest was no longer bleeding, Luo An put him aside temporarily and walked to the computer not far away.


    Not long after, the battle upstairs ended. Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle followed Roan''s instructions and walked into the basement. When they saw Hamid Hogan lying in a pool of blood, their faces instantly turned ugly. .


    ��Stop looking, call an ambulance and take the person away.��


    Luo An waved his hand to signal the three of them not to waste time, and then said:


    ��Because I have found it.��


    ��No need to investigate? Why?��


    ��Of course everything went well!��


    ��The doctor said that the two bullets did not hit the heart, and the bleeding was not much, and the rescue was timely, so he was successfully rescued.��


    ��Tsk tsk tsk.��


    Hang up the phone, Winslow next to him handed another mobile phone to Luo An. Luo An took the phone and asked with a smile:


    "How about it?"


    Lacie immediately smacked her lips when she heard this, took out her mobile phone and started to make a call:


    ��Roan, it��s me, Lacey.


    The next day, at nine o''clock in the morning, a well-known hospital in Wellington City, western Nevada.


    ��You guessed it right, although that money was transferred around Europe, it did originally come from Africa, to be precise, from Chad.��


    ?Chenelle next to her shook her head and replied:


    ��However, rescuing him is not without cost. The doctor cut out half of Hamid Hogan��s lungs, and since he is already 46 years old, there is a high probability that he will go to jail after this incident����


    ��OK.��


    Winslow nodded and took the people to contact the ambulance. Lacey and Chenelle asked with some confusion:


    In the corridor, Lacey��s face was full of surprise, and she said as she walked:


    ��To be honest, I didn��t expect Hamid Hogan to survive.��


    ??In a temporarily borrowed office at the FBI branch in Las Vegas, Luo An looked at Michelle who was sorting out her computer not far away and said with a smile:


    On the other end of the phone was a voice that was very familiar to Luo An. It was Director Elmer of IRS-CI. He smiled and said:


    ?Hamid Hogan has been revived and is still in the intensive care unit and cannot be interrogated for the time being. "


    ��It doesn��t matter if the interrogation is not possible for the time being, we are not short of time.��


    Luo An raised the computer in his hand and said:


    ��This group of people are all from Chad.��


    ����


    "I see."


    ��Clean up the battlefield. Also, contact Michelle and tell her that there is no need to investigate the identity of this group of black mercenaries.��


    The Republic of Chad is a landlocked country in central Africa. It borders Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, the Central African Republic to the south, Cameroon and Nigeria to the southwest, and Niger to the west. Its capital and largest city is N''Djamena.


    In modern history, the political situation in African countries has always been very chaotic, and it is common for leaders to change leaders every three days.


    There are many reasons why these countries change their leaders. Some are because of intervention by major powers, some are because leaders are too impersonal, some are because of serious ethnic conflicts and disputes, and some are because of internal strife due to religious disputes.


    On the African continent, many countries have one or both of the above elements


    But Chad is very magical. It combines the above four BUFFs and successfully creates a country with an extremely bizarre political situation and wars that have not stopped since the founding of the country.


    ��OK, thank you.��


    ��With a little effort, let��s drink together later.��


    ��No problem, I��ll treat you when the time comes.��


    After a brief exchange of greetings with Director Elmer, Luo An hung up the phone. Seeing this, Winslow immediately came up and said:


    ��So, the owner of the $300 million is actually a warlord from Chad? ? ? ? Hamid Hogan��s investment failed. Because he was afraid of retaliation, he used some means to kidnap Congressman Shermore and President Lucille for the purpose Are you asking them for money?"


    ��No.��


    Just as Luo An was about to speak, Michelle beside the computer shook her head and said:


    ��Winslow, you guessed wrong.��


    "Where is wrong?"


    ?Michelle turned over the computer that Luo An found at the scene and explained:


    ��I found one thing here. Hamid Hogan is ostensibly a real estate businessman, but the first capital he received to establish his company came from Africa.


    In other words, Hamid Hogan''s role is similar to that of a private banker, managing money for some African warlords. "


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and continued what Michelle said:


    ��Then make sure that the funds are fine and can be taken away by the warlord at any time, and he only earns a small commission, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Michelle nodded and continued the introduction:


    ��The $300 million was not Hamid Hogan��s investment, but was embezzled by him behind the warlord��s back.


    ??The warlord behind didn''t know how he learned about this, so he sent people to the federal government to put Hamid Hogan under house arrest and demanded that Hamid Hogan get the money back, otherwise he and his family would be killed. "


    "Wow."


    Winslow thought for a while and said:


    ��I have one last question. Were the people who killed Councilor Shermore and President Lucille sent by Hamid Hogan? Or were they people from the warlord?��


    "not me!"


    A week later, Hamid Hogan was transferred to the general ward. When he heard Luo An��s question, Hamid Hogan turned pale and gasped for breath after speaking, but he still explained anxiously:


    ��I didn��t kill anyone, it wasn��t me who did it!��


    ��Don��t be anxious, speak slowly.��


    ??Luo An smiled and handed Hamid Hogan a glass of water and said:


    ��We have plenty of time.��


    ?Hamid Hogan took a long breath with a pale face, took a long rest, and admitted that he had embezzled the 300 million US dollars behind the warlord''s back.


    ?Hamed Hogan then said that after learning the real locations of the commercial and tourist areas, he immediately realized that he had been deceived.


    The gap of 300 million US dollars was too big. Hamid Hogan thought for a long time and finally decided to find someone to kidnap the female reporter and male model who had had a relationship with Congressman Shermore and President Lucille, in order to coerce the two to have a **** act. negotiation.


    Unexpectedly, this matter was quickly exposed, and it didn��t take long for the warlord to know about it.


    ��He��s a madman!��


    ?Hamid Hogan said in a hoarse voice:


    ��I just found someone to bring the female reporter and the male model back, when the madman��s men found me and killed them in front of my eyes.


    The next day, the madman��s men kidnapped Seamore Christa and Lucille Christa.


    My original plan was to negotiate with them and let them spend money to buy back the land. I had no intention of killing them.


    ??As a result, the lunatic''s men kidnapped the two of them and started torturing them. Not only did they kill them regardless of my objections, but in the end they also demanded that I get the $300 million back no matter what I did!


    **** it! Those *#%����


    ??Hamid Hogan was a rule-abiding man. He only wanted money, not life. But the warlord wanted revenge as well as money, so he had Congressman Shermore and President Lucille killed to vent his anger.


    How to get the money back is up to Hamid Hogan.


    After listening to Hamid Hogan''s narration, Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey looked at each other in confusion, but Luo An''s expression remained unchanged. The only common sense in Africa was that there was no common sense, so he finally asked:


    ��That warlord, what��s his name?��


    ��Charlie Badjimi!��


    ? Half an hour later, Luo An stood in an unoccupied room in the hospital, holding his cell phone and briefly describing the case to Mr. Clement.


    ?Leave the troublesome matter to the people above to consider. Now that the case has been solved, Luo An is going to have a brief chat with Riester Christa about the sponsorship fee.


    At this moment, Lacey knocked on the door and walked in, with a strange expression on her face:


    ��Roan, we found the cross and the ruby ??ring.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 572： The curse of the cross and ruby ??ring

    Chapter 572 The Curse of the Cross and the Ruby Ring


    ��A cross and a ruby ??ring?��


    ??In the hospital, Luo An was stunned for a moment before he realized what Lacey was talking about.


    ?Hamid Hogan was in the ward just now and explained the reason why he had found someone in the criminal network to infiltrate Roan''s villa.


    ?Mainly because Hamid Hogan sought medical treatment urgently and learned about the legend of the Christa family treasure and the cross and ruby ??ring as the key. He then tried to find the treasure and plug the $300 million gap.


    During the investigation of this case, Luo An did not take the cross and ruby ??ring too seriously. Hearing Lacey''s words, he smiled and asked:


    ��Where are those two things?��


    "Forehead��"


    Lacie��s expression was very strange:


    ��It��s in the swimming pool behind the villa where we arrested people before.��


    ��In the swimming pool?��


    ?Luo An frowned slightly:


    ??Lacie''s eyes suddenly widened, and just when she was about to speak, Luo An interrupted her first and said:


    ��Call Riester Christa and tell him that we have found their family��s cross and ruby ??ring, and ask him to send someone to get it himself.��


    ?After a long silence, Luo An coughed lightly and said seriously:


    ��Lacie, we have to believe in science.��


    ��He is the leader of the group of black mercenaries, and he is also the confidant of the African warlord.


    Luo An��s expression became even weirder and he asked:


    ��No one dares to take it.��


    ??Lacie was startled, then reacted and smiled, raised her hand to give Luo An a thumbs up, and walked out of the room with a smile.


    ��Who was the last owner?��


    ����


    ?The last owner of the cross and ruby ??ring����


    ?Hamid Hogan in the next ward also took the cross and ruby ??ring for a while.


    The explosives exploded behind him, and he was everywhere, leaving no body intact. "


    Luo An��s face was filled with question marks. Lacey swallowed, clasped her fingers and explained awkwardly:


    ��The first owner of the cross and ruby ??ring was a 75-year-old woman named Krista, who was poisoned not long ago.


    When he was looking after Hamid Hogan, he snatched the cross and the ruby ??ring into his own hands. "


    ???��


    ??The two are now dead, and they experienced torture and torture during their lifetimes.


    Lacie pursed her lips and explained with a dry mouth:


    ��He was the last bomber in that operation.


    After explaining, Lacey looked up at Luo An and said nothing. Luo An was also silent, and the room was silent for a while.


    ?Although it was not long ago, he almost died in that villa. Now he is not dead, but half of his lungs have been cut off.


    ��Why don��t you take it back?��


    ?The second owner of the cross is Congressman Shermore Christa; the second owner of the ruby ??ring is President Lucille Christa.


    ����


    After leaving the hospital, in the next few days, Luo An began to lead people to handle the follow-up work of this case.


    In fact, there is not much work, and there are not many problems that need to be solved by team leader Luo An.


    But there is one thing that Luo An must show up personally, that is, the special case handling funds that Lister-Christa stated before the case investigation.


    ?Las Vegas, at the top of a high-rise building, a large office.


    Riester-Christa, who has short dark brown hair, a pair of black glasses on the bridge of her nose, and broad eyebrows, smiled, stretched out her hand to shake hands with Roan, and waved her hand:


    ��Please sit down.��


    "Thanks."


    ?Luo An smiled, turned around and sat on the sofa.


    The secretary poured two cups of coffee for the two of them, bent slightly and turned to leave. Riester Christa first picked up the coffee, shook it at Roan, and said with a smile:


    ��As expected of Team Leader Luo An, he found out the truth of the matter in such a short time.


    By the way, can you tell me the identity of the murderer? "


    "certainly."


    ? Luo An nodded. As a family member of the victim in the case, the other party had the right to know the truth of the case. After thinking about it for a while, Luo An briefly described some of the circumstances behind the case.


    "African?"????Learning that the man behind the scenes was a warlord far away in Africa, Riester Christa''s brows suddenly knitted together.


    ?Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he picked up the coffee and took a sip. It tasted good, better than the coffee beans in Veranith��s office.


    Roan had no intention of asking what Riester-Christa was going to do afterwards. He just heard from Veranith that Mr. Clement seemed to have contacted the CIA.


    ???What Mr. Clement��s thoughts and plans are? There is too little information at the moment for Luo An to guess.


    ??However, as for the CIA, Luo An did not think they would take action to eliminate the warlord in a short time. After all, various political factors in Africa are too complex.


    �O


    Just as Luo An was sipping coffee, the door to the office suddenly opened, and Lacosa O''Dell, dressed in a red women''s suit, with **** lips and an unusually eye-catching temperament, walked in with her head held high.


    ?Liester Christa''s secretary stood at the door, so overwhelmed by Lexa O''Dell''s aura that she lowered her head and didn''t dare to speak at all.


    ??However, Lexa O''Dell''s aura had no effect on Roan at all. He stood up, stretched out his hand and said with a smile:


    ��Good morning, Miss Lacosa.��


    ��Good morning, Team Leader Luo An.��


    Lekesha O''Dell stretched out her hand to shake Luan''s hand, and asked with a smile:


    ��I heard that the case has been solved? Team leader Luo An, you can always bring me a big surprise.��


    Roan smiled slightly. When he first came to the office, Riester-Christa asked his secretary to put the 10 million US dollars in special case-handling funds into the account number of Investigation Team No. 13.


    ? Seeing that the soon-to-be couple in front of him had something to talk about, after a few brief greetings with Lexa O''Dell, Luo An stood up and left the office.


    ?Caring back to a hotel in Las Vegas, Winslow, Lacey, Michelle and Chenelle were waiting in the same room.


    Luo An pushed the door open and entered the room. The four of them turned their eyes in unison. Lacey rushed to Luo An and asked with a blink of an eye:


    "How about it?"


    ��How about what?��


    ??Taking off his coat and throwing it aside, Luo An didn''t say any more nonsense. He directly took out his mobile phone and posted the results of the case.


    Because Mona did not participate in the investigation of this case, she did not share in the gains this time.


    ??For the rest of Investigation Team 13, Luo An received US$3.2 million as the team leader, and Winslow, Chenille, Michelle and Lacey each received US$1.6 million.


    The remaining US$400,000 was left in the accounts of Investigation Team 13 for future handling of other cases.


    Ding-


    ??Luo An put down his cell phone, and Winslow''s, Chenelle''s, Michelle''s and Lacey''s cell phones rang message ringtones one after another.


    Seeing the newly added 7-digit number in her account, Michelle''s eyes lit up, the corners of Chenelle''s mouth raised, and Winslow''s mouth widened, and his back molars smiled.


    Lacey jumped up on the spot and screamed with joy, then turned around and gave Luo An a big hug. Before Luo An could speak, she suddenly lowered her voice and whispered in Luo An''s ear:


    ��Mona��s not here, do you want to go out with me to have some fun tonight?


    I have met several beautiful girls in the past few days. I can share 3 of them with you...one with you! "


    ����


    At the end, Lacey seemed to regret a little, and temporarily changed her words and reduced the number by two.


    ??Luo An''s eyes flashed with a hint of speechlessness, he stretched out his hand to push Lacey away, simply arranged his clothes, and coldly snorted:


    "I''m not that kind of person."


    Lacey blinked and thought of something. Just as she was about to speak, Luo An continued:


    ��Stop talking nonsense, if you really want to thank me, go rent a sports car for me now.


    ??Mona will come to Las Vegas later. The case has been solved and I need to take a good rest for a few days. "


    Lacie: ������


    Hearing this, Lacey looked at Luo An up and down with a strange look on her face. Seeing Luo An grabbing the coat next to him and trying to throw it away, Lacey quickly dodged Luo An''s move, agreed with a smile and ran out of the room. :


    ��Leave the car rental to me, I guarantee it will be no problem!��


    Roan took his coat back and didn''t bother to talk to Lacey. Then he looked at Winslow and the other three and asked:


    ��What are your plans?��


    The three of them had bright smiles on their faces. Chenelle said she wanted to go home to see her parents, while Winslow was going to the mall to buy some gifts for her son.


    As for Michelle, she smiled and replied:


    ��I have borrowed fifteen books from the library and they are in the next room now.��


    ��"As expected of you."

 Chapter 573： Luo An’s 7 small goals and gains

    Chapter 573 Luo An��s 7 small goals, harvest


    ??That afternoon, outside the Las Vegas Airport, an orange Lamborghini sports car was parked on the roadside. Its sharp front face and handsome shape attracted the attention of many passers-by and tourists.


    ��wow.��


    Not long after, following the instructions on the phone, Mona, dressed in tourist clothes, walked out of the airport.


    ??Seeing Luo An waving to her while sitting in the car, Mona raised her eyebrows. Under the envious eyes of passers-by, she threw her bag into the car, opened the door, got in the passenger seat, and asked with a smile:


    ��You bought a new sports car?��


    Luo An smiled and shook his head:


    ��No, rented.��


    Boom��


    ?Make sure Mona is fastening her seat belt, Luo An steps on the accelerator, the Lamborghini suddenly roars, twists the steering wheel, and the orange sports car immediately drives forward.


    Feeling the wind blowing in front of him, Luo An explained with a smile:


    ��There is also a Dodge Hellcat sports car parked in that villa in Boston.


    ? After living together for such a long time, Luo An already knows Mona��s lifestyle and depth, and Mona also has an understanding of Luo An��s personality and behavioral habits.


    ??But after successfully rescuing Javari Evans that time and returning to the Federation from Europe, Mona found that Luo An��s passionate consumption basically never happened again, and his bulk consumption also decreased a lot.


    When the two first started living together, Luo An''s consumption habits, although generally conservative, occasionally included some passionate purchases, such as installing a home theater in the villa or buying some gaming equipment.


    In terms of fixed assets, there is a small apartment and a Chevrolet sedan in New York; a large villa in Boston, an orange sports car and a Dodge Hellcat; and the villa in Washington, D.C., also has part of Luo An''s property rights.


    ?Seeing that Mona was still planning to ask, Luo An spoke first and changed the subject:


    ��Where��s Caroline? What is she doing?��


    ?Luo An not long ago calculated all his assets so far:


    Now that the time has officially entered 2006, the signs of the subprime mortgage crisis have begun to surface, and the time before the global financial crisis is getting shorter and shorter.


    ?In terms of current assets, Luo An purchased stocks in three companies: Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon. The purchase price was about US$5 million, and the current value is US$9 million.


    When he first came to this world, Luo An set a small goal for himself: to earn 100 million first.


    ?Luo An kept these things in his heart silently and never told Mona.


    The financial crisis is not only a disaster, but it is also an opportunity for some people.


    ?Seeing Mona looking at him curiously, Luo An''s eyes moved slightly and nodded:


    ��I do have plans to save money.��


    ? Luo An has no plans to move the fixed assets, and the total current assets are about 550.6 million.


    Mona nodded and let her hair fly in the wind. After thinking about it, she asked:


    Plus, I don��t drive a sports car that much, so there��s no need to buy a new one. "


    Now I have achieved 5 small goals, but if I don��t want to lie flat, I must have a motivation to move forward.


    ��It feels like you��ve been saving money recently, do you have any plans?��


    So Luo An made a new plan for himself: use this financial crisis to 0.5 times increase US$500 million into 7 small goals!


    ?Salary, bonuses, gains from solving previous cases, and the newly solved case, the additional gains add up to just $31.6 million.


    "I know."


    In Mona''s father''s case, Luo An obtained nearly 200 million euros, which is about 210 million in U.S. dollars. In the previous bank robbery case, he also obtained 300 million U.S. dollars in flash memory chips. They are currently opening Some accounts in the Isles of Man are lying on their backs.


    "snort!"


    Hearing Roan ask about Caroline''s situation, Mona rolled her eyes at him slightly, but still explained:


    ��Caroline is packing her things to go back to Europe.��


    ��Go back to Europe?��


    Roan frowned slightly, but after thinking about it, the matter with Javari Evans had been resolved, and it was a normal choice for Caroline to return to Europe, so his expression slowly relaxed.


    ��Yeah, she doesn��t like the Federation.��


    ??Mona raised her arms, stretched her waist vigorously, closed her eyes and enjoyed the breeze, and said:


    ��Caroline felt that life in the Federation was too simple and rough, without the atmosphere of European art and culture, and the men were not gentleman enough.��


    ��Gentleman?��


    Hearing these words, Luo An grinned uncontrollably and sneered. Mona turned her head in confusion and asked:


    "What''s wrong?"


    "nothing."


    Roan shook his head and did not discuss the inner sanctimony of those "gentlemen" with Mona. He changed the topic again:


    ��What do you want to eat later?��


    ��Let��s try some South Asian food this time. I haven��t tried it yet.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An was about to continue talking when he suddenly found Mona putting her hand on his thigh.


    Luo An��s expression changed slightly:


    "I am driving."


    ��Don��t worry, I��m measured.��


    ??Mona turned sideways, narrowed her eyes slightly, slowly drew circles on Luo An''s thigh with her right hand, and asked softly:


    ��You haven��t gone out to play these days, have you?��


    Since Caroline moved into the villa, Roan has not rested with Mona.


    ?Mona felt unwell later, and Luo An was busy working on the case. The two of them hadn''t gotten up together for many days. ��You can ask Lacey if I have gone out to play.��


    ??The car stopped at the traffic light intersection and grabbed Mona''s little hand that was getting more and more excessive. Luo An turned his eyes and asked with a smile:


    ��Have you thought about it?��


    ??Mona stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, leaned forward to Roan''s ear, and whispered a few words.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??Mona sat back in the passenger seat, the lights turned green, Luo An stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the orange Lamborghini suddenly roared and rushed forward.


    ??The strong pushing feeling startled Mona:


    ��Luo An! What are you doing?��


    ��What do you think?��


    Roan turned the steering wheel, and the Lamborghini instantly drove onto another road:


    ��No one can get out of the car before the sun goes down!��


    ����


    Many times, plans do not come as fast as changes.


    When Mona left the airport, it was around 2:30 pm.


    ?She originally planned to take a brief rest with Luo An, and then go out to eat and taste delicious food at seven or eight o''clock in the evening.


    ?Finally, when I opened my eyes, the sun outside the window was already in the west. Looking at the time, it was actually 1:30 in the afternoon. Mona on the bed was in a trance for a moment:


    Time has gone backwards? What about the time in between? What about the process?


    At the same time, in the bathroom not far from the big bed, Luo An was standing with his hands on the wall, standing under the shower head and taking a shower with his eyes closed.


    Luo An was afraid that he would not be able to stand without supporting the wall.


    Open the light blue page of the system. The evaluation given by the system this time is [Excellent], and four treasure boxes have been accumulated.


    It��s another rough cutscene. The four treasure boxes contain [Stamina Potion x1] [Stamina Potion x1] [Stamina Potion x1] and [Danger Sense Potion x1].


    Luo An: ������


    Open the system''s warehouse page. There is [Stamina Potion x6] here.


    ��Hemostatic Agent x3��


    ��Antidote x5��


    ��Swift Potion x4��


    ��Strength Potion x4��


    ��Sensitive agent x1��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x5��


    ��Featherfall Potion x4��


    ��Sleep Potion x1��


    ��Scuba Potion x3��


    ��Regeneration Potion x2��


    ��Danger Sense Potion x1��


    Without hesitation, he took out a bottle of [Stamina Potion] and poured it into his stomach. After a few seconds, Luo An was refreshed and successfully returned to his peak condition.


    Looking at the newly opened [Danger Sensing Potion], Luo An pondered for a few seconds and decided to save it for future use.


    After washing up, Luo An put on a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom, where he found Mona on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze.


    ��Get up, little lazy boy.��


    Sitting next to Mona, Luo An stretched out his hand to gently pinch her pretty face and said with a smile:


    ��Aren��t you hungry?��


    ??Mona rolled her eyes at him:


    ��What do you say?��


    ��I don��t think you��re hungry.��


    Luo An smiled and whispered:


    ��You ate last night����


    ��Luo An!��


    ?Mona''s face turned red, she grabbed the pillow and started beating Luo An crazily.


    Not long after, the hotel waiter brought food into the room, and the two immediately stopped fighting and started eating to fill their stomachs.


    Halfway through eating, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and found that the caller was Winslow.


    After swallowing the food, Luo An pressed the answer button and said with a smile:


    "What''s wrong?"


    Winslow��s tone on the phone was a bit unpleasant:


    ��Luo An, I want to ask you to do me a favor.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 574： Winslows Questions, Gifts

    Chapter 574 Winslow��s Question, Gift


    ?Las Vegas, a certain room on the upper floor of a well-known hotel.


    Hearing that Winslow��s tone was a bit off, Luo An frowned slightly:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��I couldn��t tell you clearly on the phone.��


    Winslow pondered for a few seconds and said in a low voice:


    ��We need to meet.��


    "Can."


    Thinking of Winslow''s previous statement that he planned to visit his son, Luo An''s expression changed slightly, he stood up to change clothes and asked:


    "Where are you now?"


    ��I��m in a club in South Las Vegas.��


    Winslow gave an address, and Luo An hung up the phone. Next to him, Mona swallowed the food in her mouth and asked doubtfully:


    ?Ten minutes later, Luo An arrived at the bar Winslow mentioned, parked the car, opened the door and walked in.


    The location Winslow provided was not too far away. Luo An nodded in agreement and hung up the phone again.


    ��What happened? What are you going to do?��


    There were not many people in the bar. Winslow was sitting at the bar drinking. When he saw Luo An, he waved his hand and said:


    "here!"


    ?Luo An chuckled and quickly turned around and walked out of the room.


    ��A bar in Las Vegas.��


    ��OK.��


    After quickly changing his clothes, Luo An walked to Mona, bent down and kissed her on the face, and said with a smile:


    Start the car and continue driving towards the target location, but this time Luo An''s speed is much slower, and the speed is much lower than when he just came out of the hotel.


    ��Then I��ll wait.��


    He took the elevator downstairs and found the sports car. Luo An got in and pressed the start button. While driving towards the place Winslow said, he called Lacey, Chenelle, Michelle and others to ask about Winslow. Luo''s situation.


    After receiving Luo An��s call, Lacey, Chenelle, Michelle and others were also surprised, but they didn��t know what happened, and they all asked if they wanted to go to that club together.


    ��No need for now, I��ll call you if something goes wrong.��


    ��Where is the location?��


    ??Luo An temporarily rejected the idea of ??three women. The traffic lights flashed green. Just as Luo An was about to drive on, Winslow called him again and said seriously:


    ��Roan, we need to change positions.��


    ?Mona��s face changed slightly and she put down the tableware in her hand:


    ��Do you need me to come with you?��


    ��Winslow may be in trouble.��


    Hearing this and looking at the club not far away, Luo An narrowed his eyes and thought of something, and asked:


    ??Mona raised her head and kissed Luo An a few times, then patted Luo An''s thigh, leaned back and made a rather seductive movement, and said with a smile:


    ��When you come back, I have a surprise for you.��


    ?Luo An replied while changing clothes:


    ��Have a glass of ice water.��


    Luo An, who walked into the bar door and turned on "Emotional Perception", had a look on his face, and then raised his brows slightly.


    ?walked to sit next to Winslow, waved his hand to indicate to the bartender that he would not drink, then looked at Winslow and asked:


    "What happened?"


    ?Winslow put down his glass and said in a low voice:


    ��I encountered a problem.��


    Taking the ice water, Luo An thanked the bartender, and then said:


    ��Elaborate.��


    ?Winslow didn��t mince words, saying:


    ��I cheated on a good friend of mine and I��m worried he��ll beat me up afterwards.��


    Luo An smiled slightly:


    ��So, what did you deceive him about?��


    ��I tricked him into going for a drive and ended up coming to the bar.��


    The solemn expression on his face suddenly disappeared. Winslow grinned widely, suddenly hugged Luo An''s shoulders, and said loudly:


    ��Happy birthday! Roan!��


    After Winslow finished speaking, the lights suddenly turned on in the dark place behind the bar, and several familiar female voices came to Luo An''s ears:


    ��Happy birthday! Roan!��xN


    ?The first thing that caught the eye was a cart containing a large cake. Mona, Chenelle, Lacey and Michelle all appeared and pushed it out with smiles on their faces.


    ??Luo An showed a look of surprise on his face, then he punched Winslow''s arm with his fist and said with a smile:


    "You''re right, Winslow, you''re going to get a beating tonight, I promise."


    "Hahaha-"


    ??Everyone laughed loudly. Winslow took the drink from the bartender, handed a bottle to Luo An, and said loudly again:


    ��For the sake of the wine, be gentle when you do it next time!��


    ?Taken the bottle and took a sip from Winslow, then walked up and hugged Chenelle, Michelle, and Lacey, and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you.�� ��Happy birthday, Roan.��


    "You''re welcome."


    Chenelle and Michelle smiled and hugged Roan. When Lacey and Roan hugged, they asked with a smile:


    ��Luo An, why do I feel that your reaction just now was a bit fake? Did Mona tell you secretly?��


    ?Mona on the side waved her hands repeatedly and said:


    ��Don��t accuse me wrongly, I didn��t tell him.


    ??If Winslow hadn''t sent him out for a walk, how could I have run here in such a short time? I didn''t dare to wear high heels because I was worried that I wouldn''t be able to run fast. "


    ��Mona didn��t tell me, it was just that the incident happened suddenly and I didn��t react.��


    Roan smiled. In fact, as soon as he entered the bar, the "emotional perception" in his mind discovered several familiar mood swings, and guessed that Mona, Chenille, Lacey, and Michelle were hiding behind.


    But Luo An really didn��t expect the birthday party, and he had almost forgotten about it.


    Roan finally hugged Mona, kissed her gently on the corner of the mouth, and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you, Mona.��


    ��Happy birthday, my dear.��


    ??Mona smiled and patted Luo An on the back, letting go of each other and joking for a few words. Luo An''s eyes suddenly lit up and he asked:


    ��Gifts! Gifts! What have you prepared for me?��


    ��Hey, isn��t it?��


    Lacie put down the bottle and said with a smile:


    ��There are still people who actively ask for gifts?��


    ?Luo An spread his hands and said with a smile:


    ��I have paid you wages in the past, but this time I finally have the opportunity to take something back from you.��


    ��Don��t you eat the snacks on my table every day?��


    ??Lacie made a casual remark, Michelle smiled, and first took out her gift and handed it to Luo An.


    "Thanks."


    The box was not big. Luo An took it and thanked him with a smile, then asked:


    ��Can it be taken apart?��


    "certainly!"


    ? Michelle nodded and handed over a pair of scissors. Luo An cut the ribbon on the box, opened the box and found a game cartridge inside.


    Luo An was shocked when he saw the name on the game cartridge:


    ��The Legend of Zelda?!��


    ��It��s the original ��Legend of Zelda�� in 1986, priced at $49.99��


    ?Michelle smiled and said sheepishly:


    ��Besides books, the only gifts I can think of are games.��


    After packing the gifts, Luo An hugged Michelle again and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you very much, I like it very much.��


    The next thing to be opened was Chenier''s gift. What she prepared was tea Yinghong No. 9, which is the best among British and German black teas and is loved by the Queen of the Commonwealth.


    The gift prepared by Winslow is a bottle of red wine from the world-renowned winery Cheval Blanc, which is very precious.


    ��It��s my turn, it��s my turn.��


    As soon as Roan finished thanking Chenelle and Winslow, Lacey couldn''t wait to take out the gift she had prepared.


    Slowly opening the box, Luo An took out a beautifully packaged vinyl record.


    ? Luo An was a little confused:


    "This is?"


    ��This is one of the Beatles�� collector��s records.��


    Lacie put her hands on her hips and said extremely proudly:


    ��I spent a lot of effort to get it.��


    Hearing this, Chenelle and Winslow��s eyes widened instantly, and Michelle also exclaimed with disbelief on her face:


    ��The Beatles?!��


    In the Western world, the Beatles are famous as one of the most influential and legendary music groups of the 20th century. Their music creation and performances have had a profound impact on the Western music industry and have left a strong mark on popular culture. .


    "Thank you so much."


    ?Putting the record away carefully, Luo An gave Lacey a big hug, patted her back hard, and said with a smile:


    ��The gift is very precious and I like it very much.��


    ��Take it easy! Take it easy!��


    Feeling that she was almost vomiting blood, Lacey rolled her eyes and quickly pushed Luo An away. The two laughed for a moment. Lacey turned her eyes to Mona next to her and asked with a smile:


    ��Mona, you are the only one left. What gift have you prepared?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 575： Half the surprise, head to Wall Street

    Chapter 575 Half of the surprise, heading to Wall Street


    ??At the sofa in the bar, seeing Chenelle, Winslow, Michelle and Lacey all looking at her curiously, Mona looked at Roan and smiled slightly, and said:


    ��My gift is a bit special, so I didn��t bring it in and put it behind the bar.��


    Hearing this, everyone present was puzzled. Luo An smiled and asked:


    ��Is it heavy?��


    ��It��s definitely not too heavy for you.��


    ?Mona smiled, stood up and left the sofa, waving her hands for everyone to follow. Before Luo An could say anything, Lacey followed her first.


    The two of them walked to the backstage of the bar first, and Lacey suddenly froze in place with her eyes wide open:


    ��Happy gift crab!��


    "what?"


    ?Chenelle and Michelle walked over closely, with strange expressions on their faces, while Winslow''s eyes were as wide as Lacey''s.


    Luo An became increasingly confused when he saw this scene:


    The eight figures on the left are from the Decepticon camp such as Megatron and Starscream, while the eight figures on the right are from the Autobot camp such as Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.


    ?? Luo An used to catch up on old cartoons such as Transformers when he was resting at home. Mona did not complain about Luo An''s childishness at that time, but she had no interest in these animations and just sat silently playing with the computer.


    "certainly!"


    With Mona��s permission, Luo An left the sofa and walked over slowly.


    ��I like it so much.��


    ??Going around the bar to the back, you can see eight transparent plastic boxes that are as high as a person''s waist on the left and right sides of the ground.


    "what exactly is it?"


    ��As long as you like it.��


    ��W-T-F?!��


    ��Thank you, Mona.��


    In a total of sixteen boxes, there are a bunch of robots with different shapes, which are the Transformers known to the entire federation.


    So Luo An really didn��t expect that the gift Mona prepared was actually a Transformers figure.


    At this time, it was April 2006, and the first Transformers movie had not yet been released.


    ?Mona next to her showed a smile:


    ��The latest complete set of figures of the main characters of Transformers, do you like it?��


    ??Seeing the red and blue Optimus Prime on the ground, the orange Bumblebee, and the ferocious Megatron opposite them, Luo An immediately raised his eyebrows and cursed uncontrollably.


    Sixteen figures were all in fighting postures at this time, looking like they were preparing for a big battle.


    ??Luo An was not in a hurry to play with the figures, but turned around and gave Mona a big hug:


    ??Luo An turned his head and kissed Mona lightly on the face, and whispered:


    ��This is the best gift I have ever received.��


    ��Can I come over?��


    Looking at Mona, who was holding her arms and smiling quietly, Luo An asked:


    Lacie swallowed and replied:


    ��Something you absolutely love.��


    ?Mona smiled. She actually couldn��t quite distinguish the characters of those figures, and she didn��t know much about Transformers. She just thought Luo An liked them, so she bought them.


    Chenelle and Michelle next to them looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other''s eyes. In fact, they didn''t know much about the Changing King.


    ??Lacie looked at the mighty and handsome Optimus Prime on the ground, licked her lips, and said a little sourly:


    ��I also want to have a girlfriend who can give me Transformers.��


    Winslow glanced at her in surprise:


    ��You like Transformers too?��


    ����


    ?? Lacey rolled her eyes at Winslow speechlessly and was too lazy to talk to him. She picked up the wine bottle and looked at Roan and Mona, and said loudly:


    ��You two, stop hugging, it��s time to cut the cake!��


    ��OK! Cut the cake!��


    The cake that Lacey and others purchased this time was about 12 inches in size. It was covered with fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, and pineapples, and there was a capital letter "Happy Birthday" in the middle.


    According to Western custom, first put in a candle and light it, and then Luo An began to close his eyes and make a wish.


    Since there were all adults present, they didn��t make a sneak attack by pressing their face into the cake. After Luo An finished making his wish, he blew out the candles vigorously and then started eating the cake.


    ?A few people were sitting on the sofa, enjoying the cake and chatting happily. Lacey wiped her mouth and asked:


    ��Luo An, can you tell me what wish you made just now?��


    ��If I don��t tell you, it won��t work if I tell you.��


    ??Luo An glanced at Mona, smiled and did not answer Lacey''s question. Before she could ask another question, Luo An took the initiative to raise the bottle, looked at Winslow, and said loudly:


    "Winslow, I just promised you that you will get a beating tonight, and now it''s time!" "Would you like to drink instead?"


    ��That��s okay! Cheers! I won��t go home until I��m drunk!��


    ?Roan and Winslow��s wine bottles clinked, followed by Lacey, Chenelle and others, and everyone shouted in unison:


    ��You won��t come home until you��re drunk!��


    ? After drinking and laughing in a lively atmosphere for several hours, Luo An and Mona finally asked someone to drive them back to the hotel.


    ?Back in the room, the two closed the door and kissed for a while. Luo An looked at the sixteen figures on the table not far away and asked with a low smile:


    ��So, this is the surprise you told me when Winslow tricked me into leaving the room?��


    "certainly."


    ??Mona leaned against Luo An, her cheeks reddened due to the effect of alcohol, and asked with a smile:


    "How do you like it?"


    Luo An grinned, and then when Mona screamed, he suddenly picked her up and strode towards the big bed not far away:


    ��The surprise was very nice, I loved it.


    In return, I will give you half of the surprise now! "


    ��Half the surprise?��


    ??Mona was stunned for a moment and was a little confused. She didn''t understand the meaning of his words until Luo An threw him on the bed. But before she could speak, Luo An had already started his actions:


    ��Let��s have breakfast tomorrow afternoon!��


    ����


    In Las Vegas, Roan and Mona spent a few days having fun and relaxing.


    ?A week later, Winslow, Mona, Chenille, Lacey and Michelle returned to the FBI headquarters in Washington. Roan took a temporary leave and went to New York halfway.


    ��Wall Street, a place with gold on the left and abyss on the right.��


    ?In front of the famous Copper Bull at the intersection of Wall Street, Luo An reached out and touched it. He pondered for a few seconds and then walked into a building not far away.


    ��Hello, Mr. Greenwood.��


    On the tenth floor of the building, in an office, a white man wearing casual short-sleeved trousers and a style that was incompatible with the suits and ties of Wall Street stood in front of his desk and reached out to shake Luo An''s hand, feeling a little confused. road:


    ��I don��t seem to have done anything that violates federal law, so why are you, the FBI, looking for me?��


    ��Hello, Mr. Bray.��


    ?Luo An sat on the chair opposite the white man and said with a smile:


    ��Don��t get me wrong, I��m not looking for you this time in my capacity as the FBI, but in my personal capacity.��


    ��That��s it, it scared me a lot.��


    ?Michael Bray, who was behind the desk, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He picked up the coffee pot and gave Luo An a cup of coffee, and asked with a smile:


    ��So, Mr. Greenwood, you came to me this time to consult about stocks?��


    Luo An took a sip of coffee and said with a smile:


    ��Not consulting, but investing.��


    ��So Mr. Greenwood, which stock do you want my company to represent for you?��


    ��It��s not stocks, it��s your credit default swap product, CDS.��


    ? CDS, a financial product specially designed by banks.


    The logic behind it is simple, buy a kind of insurance for the mortgage bonds that are used when someone else buys a house.


    ??If the mortgage does not default and the bond is stable, then Luo An, as the buyer, will need to pay monthly insurance premiums to the investment bank.


    ??If mortgage defaults increase and bonds depreciate, investment banks will need to pay high compensation to buyers like Luo An.


    In layman��s terms, it is a legal bet between buyers and investment banks on whether the federal housing market will fall.


    ??The concept of this kind of financial product has appeared in the last century, but CDS, whose content is the rise and fall of the federal real estate market, has appeared in the world for the first time. The creator is the man in front of Luo An, Michael Bray.


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Michael Bree��s face suddenly changed slightly. Without thinking, he shook his head and refused:


    ��Sorry, Mr. Greenwood, this financial product is also available on the market. You can buy it yourself. I��m here..."


    ��Don��t say no so quickly, Mr. Bray.��


    ?Luo An put down the coffee cup, smiled, and asked:


    ��Your company has been getting debt calls, hasn��t it?��


    When Michael Bray heard this, he frowned and fell silent.

 Chapter 576： Luo An: I don’t have much investment available.

    Chapter 576 Luo An: I don��t have much investment


    ?New York, Wall Street, the tenth floor of a building.


    ?Looking at the silent white man in front of him, Luo Jing sat down and waited, with the other person''s information appearing in his mind.


    ? Michael Bray, a value investor, fund manager, and the head of a company called "Transcendent Capital".


    Before 2008, although the opponent was famous, not many people knew him. It was not until the subprime mortgage crisis and financial crisis broke out that Michael Brey''s reputation was known to many people.


    Because he has a record of being the first man to discover that the subprime mortgage crisis was bound to break out by studying the prospectus of subprime loan bonds, interest rate floating data, loan repayment status, etc., so he took action to short the federal real estate industry.


    The method he used was to create and purchase a CDS financial product from Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Deutsche Bank, Bear Stearns and many other investment banks.


    The specific content of CDS is complicated. To make a simple analogy, it is like someone buying an insurance policy for Lao Wang��s car next door.


    Although he is not the owner of the car, if the car is scrapped, he can take this policy and go to the insurance company to collect money.


    ? Someone is betting that Laowang''s car will be scrapped, and the insurance company is betting that it will not be scrapped. This policy is a legal gamble.


    ?This car is the federal real estate industry.


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    Roan did not reject Michael Bray��s request, but he also did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked:


    ��Mr. Bray, are you sure the time is April 2007?��


    This is why Roan said before that Michael Brey needs help.


    Since creating and purchasing this CDS product in 2005, Michael Bray has been under considerable pressure.


    ?Shorting the federal real estate industry does not involve simply buying a CDS financial product. After all, in addition to Class A CDS, there are many Class B, Class C, etc. on the market, and the contents are complicated and trivial.


    After pondering for a long time, Michael Bray looked up at Luo An and asked:


    ��There are many CDS products for sale in the market outside. Why don��t you go to them to buy them? Instead, come to me to invest?��


    The time now is April 2006, 16 months away from August 2007. With such a long time, it is impossible for Luo An to devote all his energy to this matter.


    ��There are indeed some.��


    Hearing Roan''s words, Michael Bray laughed. Without hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded and agreed, and then said:


    But this matter will take a long time. I''m afraid I won''t return your funds to you before April 2007. "


    ��Mr. Greenwood, do you have any doubts about the time?��


    ��Mr. Greenwood, there is something I don��t quite understand.��


    ?But this reputation is not very good, everyone praises him as a great fool* behind his back.


    ? In order to succeed, Michael Bray even forcibly **** the investors'' money and refused to withdraw their capital, which caused those investors, including Michael Bray''s boss, to yell at him.


    He took a total of 1.3 billion U.S. dollars from investors to short the federal real estate industry. However, the federal real estate industry was thriving and showed no signs of collapse. Michael Brey also needed to make monthly payments to investment banks such as Goldman Sachs in accordance with CDS regulations. A big expense.


    ��Mr. Greenwood is really candid.��


    ��There are some things I need to declare in advance. I will ensure that all the funds you invest will be used to purchase CDS financial products that short the federal real estate industry.


    Since creating CDS, a credit default swap product covering the federal real estate industry, and spending large sums of money to purchase it, Michael Bray''s reputation has begun to ring through Wall Street.


    Michael Bray narrowed his eyes slightly:


    Because the federal real estate industry was booming, no one thought it would have problems.


    ��You need help, I need an experienced person to help me grasp the investment.��


    ??Roan nodded, he knew the reason why Michael Bray set the time in April 2007, because the Commonwealth Bank would raise interest rates for the first time around that time.


    ??Michael Bray''s bet is that as banks raise interest rates, federal people who take out loans to buy houses will start to run away without repaying their loans, eventually leading to the collapse of the federal real estate industry.


    Michael Bray laughed and said:


    ��Mr. Greenwood, if you have any doubts about time, I suggest you����


    ?Just when the other party was halfway through what he said, Luo An interrupted him:


    ��I think the time is too short!��


    "��It''s too short?"


    Hearing this word, Michael Bray was stunned for a moment, and then asked nervously:


    ��Mr. Greenwood, is there any news?�� Thinking of Luo An��s FBI status, Michael Brey��s first thought was that he had heard some inside information.


    ��No, I have no news.��


    ?Luo An shook his head, then smiled and said:


    ��Mr. Bray, what you focus on is the data and the laws of the market.


    But what I focus on is the human heart and the means. "


    The Wall Street business war in the novel: strategy, means, overall view, brilliant prediction, virtual battle of the world''s top minds.


    In reality, real business wars involve unplugging network cables, deleting codes, and shutting down servers.


    The most high-end business wars often only require the simplest tricks, such as poisoning, robbing...


    Luo An knew that when the federal government raised interest rates for the first time and federal people started running away to pay off their debts, the first thing that the investment banks on Wall Street thought about was definitely not how to solve the debt problem, but how to deal with these junk debts. , transferred and sold to people who don��t know the truth.


    ?Those investment banks will continue to whitewash the situation, and stocks in the federal real estate industry will not fall until one of the investment banks finally fails.


    This period of time will take at least a few months.


    So Luo An said:


    ��I think it would be better to push the time back a few months.��


    Due to some considerations, Luo An did not give a specific time, but just made a suggestion.


    ����


    ?Hearing Luo An''s words, Michael Bray was silent for a long time. He suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand to Luo An, shook his hand firmly, and said with a serious face:


    ��Mr. Greenwood, I assure you that this time it will be successful.��


    Michael Bray is a very rational person and firmly believes that the data is not wrong and things will develop according to the results shown by the data.


    ??But what Luo An just said reminded him that the data is indeed correct, but human beings have subjective initiative, and some things will always develop very strangely due to human thoughts.


    Roan smiled and shook hands with Michael Bury, who then asked:


    ��I wonder, Mr. Greenwood, how much investment is prepared?��


    ? Michael Bray has continued to create astonishing returns for investors since he founded "Heritage Capital":


    In 2001, the rate of return of Chuanren Capital was 55.44%, and in 2003, the rate of return of Chuanren Capital was 50%.


    Michael Bray charges a lot of commissions, but he also respects his clients and always believes that sincerity is the most useful investment.


    ?After listening to what Luo An just said, Michael Bray, who had woken up to many things, was very grateful to Luo An, because he could use this to avoid many detours.


    ? Michael Bray has already made a plan in his heart. Even if Luo An��s investment is only a few hundred thousand dollars, he will get the maximum return for Luo An.


    ��The investment I can make is not that much.��


    ? Luo An smiled and took out a piece of paper with the account number written on it from his pocket.


    Michael Bray''s expression remained unchanged. He had already been mentally prepared for the fact that Roan did not have much money, so he sat down on the chair, started to start the computer preparation, and asked:


    ��Can you tell me the specific amount?��


    ?Luo An put the note on his desk and said with a smile:


    ��Not much, just 450 million.��


    ��??!��


    ??Hearing the numbers spoken by Luo An, Michael Bray was stunned while typing on the keyboard, and then turned his head in disbelief:


    "I''m sorry, Mr. Greenwood, I seem to have heard you wrong. Did you just say...?"


    ��You heard it right, it��s 450 million.��


    ?Luo An raised his lips slightly. He actually had a total of 550 million US dollars. Just in case, he finally chose to leave 100 million untouched.


    After receiving the affirmative answer, Michael Bree''s eyes widened with surprise, his throat rolled, but he didn''t know what to say.


    Suppressing the shock in his heart, Michael Bray said in a deep voice:


    "Mr. Greenwood, with a principal of US$450 million, I can help you purchase up to US$3 billion of BBB-level CDS products."


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 577： Fourteen months, new situation

    Chapter 577: Fourteen months, new situation


    ��$3 billion����


    Hearing the number spoken by Michael Bray, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a few seconds, and asked:


    ��So, what��s the price?��


    ? Seeing that Luo An was not at all frightened by the number he said or showed uncontrollable excitement, Michael Bray took a deep look at Luo An and explained:


    ��If you decide to purchase a BBB-level CDS product worth US$450 million, you will need to pay a monthly premium of 0.3%, or 1.35 million.


    It is now April 2006. If we set the time as June 2007, the total premium will be about US$17.5 million. "


    ��Good.��


    ??Luo An nodded, handed the note to Michael Bray, and said with a smile:


    ��Then, I��ll be waiting for your good news.��


    "must."


    Michael Bray nodded heavily and said seriously:


    ��We will succeed.��


    ??Stepping out of the building and looking at the Wall Street Copper Bull that was about to make a move not far away, Luo An whispered to himself, raised the corners of his mouth, turned and walked in another direction.


    The figure of US$3 billion is too large for those investment banks to willingly part with.


    The next morning, when it was time to go to work, Luo An first went to Veranith''s office, briefly described the handling of the previous case in Las Vegas, and handed over the handling funds for this case to Veranith. think.


    ?If nothing unexpected happens, this CDS purchase agreement will eventually be purchased back by an investment bank. Luo An speculates that the final transaction price should be between US$1 billion and US$1.5 billion.


    ?Seeing Luo An''s silence, Veranith raised her eyebrows and asked:


    Veranith nodded with satisfaction. She lowered her head and saw that Luo An had reported that the cost of going to Las Vegas to handle the case was 300,000 US dollars. She was silent for a moment, picked up the pen and scratched it twice calmly, and the number turned into $800,000.


    ��Good.��


    ??Back at the villa, Caroline did plan to leave the Federation and return to Europe. Luo An didn''t say much when he saw this and simply helped her pack some luggage.


    "Any questions?"


    ����


    Luo An closed the folder and said with a smile:


    He remembered the amount he reported before, which seemed to be US$200,000?


    "What''s wrong?"


    Veranith simply praised Luo An, and then sent the previous case, that is, the case handling funds spent during the detection of the Ponzi scheme case, to Luo An in a folder.


    Luo An: ������


    Looking at the US$800,000 in the account, Luo An fell into deep thought.


    A few hours later, Roan drove back to Washington, D.C.


    ?Roan shook hands with Michael Brey. He believed that the other party and he would definitely succeed, but the final figure most likely would not be $3 billion.


    ��Wait for fourteen months.��


    ��No problem, thank you sir.��


    ?Having lived in the Federation for so long, Luo An deeply understands that the so-called spirit of contract is a joke, and shamelessness and cheating are the true nature.


    USD 450 million becomes USD 1-1.5 billion, a 2 to 3 times gain��


    Luo An''s mouth twitched when he saw Veranith''s actions. Just as he was about to speak, Veranith put the folder aside, then handed Luo An a red folder and said seriously:


    "Luo An, the vacation is over, there is a case that you need to lead the No. 13 Investigation Team to handle."


    ?Hand out his hand to take the folder, Luo An asked casually:


    ��What case is it again?��


    ��A case of serial murder.��


    Veranith crossed her arms, looked serious, and said in a deep voice:


    ��This case is quite complex. From the time the initial victim was discovered to the recent emergence of new victims, the time span has been more than ten years.��


    ����


    ��A serial murder case spanning more than ten years?��


    No. 13 Investigation Team, in the office area, after listening to Luo An��s brief description of the situation, everyone present was very surprised. Lacey asked hurriedly:


    ��Which state is the case? Where did the case occur?��


    ��It��s very close to us, just next door in New York state.��


    ?Luo An stood at the front of the office area, holding a folder and introducing:


    ��In March 1992, someone found a female body on a beach in Long Island, New York, and called the police, but the police did not find the murderer.


    The bodies of the victims were discovered in September 1992, April 1993, August 1994, etc. Not long ago, on March 14, 2006, a body appeared again on that beach.


    So far, a total of 11 bodies have been found on this beach, which is not too small. "


    ������x5


    Luo An briefly described, the air in the office area was quiet, Windslo, Chenier and Michelle''s brows were locked. Rysey and Mona looked at each other, their faces were not very good -looking.


    After a few seconds of silence, Lacey frowned and said:


    ��Did the police in Long Island, New York, not find any clues about the murderer?��


    ��There must have been some clues, but they didn��t take this serial murder case too seriously.��


    ?Luo An closed the folder, threw it on the table, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Information shows that most of these victims were young women engaged in **** work.


    This group has always been on the fringes of society. If it weren''t for the recently discovered body, which was reported to the police by a few children who ran to camp on that beach and attracted a lot of media attention, this serial murder case might have been suppressed by the Long Island police for a long time. . "


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Hearing Roan''s words, Winslow and Lacey couldn''t help but curse a few times. Mona closed the computer and Michelle asked:


    ��Luo An, what do we do next?��


    Luo An rubbed his temples, pondered for a few seconds, and said:


    ��First go to the Long Island police and retrieve records related to the victim over the years, such as identity files, autopsy reports, what the caller said when he called the police, etc.


    Michelle, Chenelle, Lacey, you are responsible for this. "


    "no problem!"


    ??Michelle and the other three nodded in agreement. Luo An then looked at the remaining two people and said:


    ��The area where the body was found was not monitored at all, so we next focused on visiting residents in nearby areas.


    Mona, Winslow, come with me to go over there and investigate the situation. "


    "clear!"


    ����


    ? New York Long Island is an island located on the Atlantic coast of North America. It is administratively part of New York State. It is 190 kilometers long and about 20 to 30 kilometers wide.


    The members of Investigation Team 13 drove from Washington, D.C. to Long Island. They split up outside the Long Island Police Station. Luo An, Mona and Winslow drove to the scene of the crime. From the map, Gill was located on the side of Long Island. Go Beach.


    The original plan of Luo An and the others was to go to the caller''s home to briefly inquire about the situation and see if there were any clues that could be used later.


    But as soon as the car arrived at this area, the three of them saw a circle of people surrounding a certain bush area on the beach.


    Luo An and the three of them looked at each other, parked the car aside and walked over to check.


    ��Hello, FBI.��


    ?Taking out his golden badge to simply show his identity, Luo An called a passerby a white man and asked:


    ��What happened there?��


    ?The white man passing by looked very surprised and explained:


    ��When Yuna was walking her dog here just now, her dog pulled out human bones in the grass!��


    ��What?��


    Hearing this, Winslow and Michelle''s expressions changed and they hurried over to check the situation.


    Luo An followed closely and squeezed into the crowd of passers-by. Sure enough, he saw a human arm bone on the ground.


    At the same time, a yellow pet dog was next to the arm bone, growling lowly and continuing to dig into the soil. Judging from the traces it dug out, it was obvious that there were other skeletal parts of a corpse underground.


    The owner of the pet dog was an old white woman who looked to be in her fifties. At this time, she had collapsed and passed out on the ground next to her.


    "damn it!"


    ?Winslow and Mona''s expressions changed and they hurriedly maintained order at the scene. At this moment, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang.


    ��It��s me, Luo An.��


    ??Luo An waved his hand and asked Mona to call the ambulance and trace inspection department first, and then asked:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��It��s me, Chenelle.��


    ?Chenelle on the other end of the phone had a serious tone and said in a deep voice:


    ��Luo An, we found out something. The murderer in this case was very arrogant. After he killed someone, he even made a taunting phone call to the victim��s family!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 578： [A serial murder case spanning more than ten years]

    Chapter 578 [A serial murder case spanning more than ten years]


    ?Wednesday, 10:30 in the morning, in a temporarily borrowed office in Long Island, New York.


    ? ? Pushing open the door to the office area, Luo An walked into the office with Mona and said a little tiredly:


    ��Sorry, we��re late.��


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ?Michelle immediately stood up and poured coffee for the two of them. Lacey walked out of the conference room nearby. Seeing that Luo An and Mona had a lot of dust on their bodies and were quite dirty, she asked doubtfully:


    "What did you do? Did you fall into the pit?"


    ��No pits were made, but a lot of pits were dug.��


    ??Mona picked up the coffee on the table and drank it in one gulp. She took a deep breath and replied:


    ��When we arrived at the beach yesterday afternoon, an old woman��s dog dug up a white skeleton in the grass.


    Winslow and I planned to ask someone to take the skeleton back for testing, and then visit the caller��s home. However, Luo An asked someone to bring several police dogs over. "


    ��There are 9 bodies that have just been dug up on the beach and have been sent to the Trace Inspection Department.��


    ������x2


    After hearing Luo An��s explanation, Michelle and Lacey looked at each other, speechless.


    ?Several nearby communities are not very close to this beach. It takes a long time to walk, and it is difficult to discover what is happening on the beach.


    In summary, from the killer''s point of view, this beach is an excellent place to kill people and dump their bodies.


    Luo An got himself a cup of coffee again and asked:


    ��Where��s Chenelle?��


    Hearing this, Michelle looked confused, but Lacey thought of something, looked at Luo An and asked:


    We suspect that there may be bodies on the seabed in that area, and Winslow is leading people to investigate there. "


    ?Luo An rubbed his temples, his voice was low and a little irritated:


    ��So, how many more bodies did you find?��


    Luo An put down the coffee cup and said helplessly:


    ��But I didn��t expect to find anything.��


    Because of this, after Luo An found the white bones dug out by the pet dog, he had the idea of ????asking people to conduct a thorough investigation of the beach.


    ��In addition, a nearby resident who often came to this area to fish was horrified and said one thing after learning about this incident.


    ?From the moment he drove into the beach on Long Island, Luo An discovered that the geographical conditions of this area were ��very advantageous.��


    Behind the rocks on the southeast corner of the beach, sometimes some clothes would be washed up on the beach. He had also caught wallets there in the past.


    First of all, the area is large, with a straight line length of about 10 kilometers from east to west. Secondly, trees and grass are very lush. Even if you drive on the road at night, it is difficult to see clearly what is going on inside.


    ��She is in the trace examination department.��


    After hearing Luo An��s description, Michelle��s face changed slightly, Lacey��s eyelids twitched and she asked:


    ��Do you suspect there are still bodies on that beach?��


    ?Michelle replied:


    ��Just a guess.��


    ��Previously, the testing methods used by the Long Island police on those corpses were very crude, resulting in confusing results and very low reliability.


    ??We can only take back the bodies that are still there and let the Trace Inspection Department do a new autopsy. "


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded and then asked:


    ��Have you got back the victims�� information?��


    ��All in the conference room.��


    After a short break, several people walked into the conference room. Lacey took a whiteboard, pasted 11 photos on it, and introduced:


    ��Arranged from the time when the bodies were discovered, the names and ages of the eleven victims are:


    Yili, female, 20 years old.


    Cleo, female, 19 years old.


    Laura, female, 25 years old.


    Charles, male, 21 years old.


    Selina, female, 20 years old.


    James, male, 30 years old.


    Kate, female, 22 years old.


    Mandy, female, 26 years old.


    Jerome, male, 18 years old.


    Sophia, female, 22 years old.


    Lan Risa, female, 24 years old. "


    Seeing the picture of the man on the whiteboard, Mona was a little surprised:


    ��There are three more men?��


    ��That��s right.


    ??Lacie nodded, then found the photos of the three male bodies when they were found, distributed them to Roan, Mona and Michelle, and explained:


    ��Among the three men, the first male deceased, Charles, was wearing women��s clothing when he died, and his makeup and makeup were also biased toward women.


    As for the second deceased, James, and the third deceased, Jerome, they were in normal male clothing. "


    "Forehead��"


    Looking at the photo of the first male deceased, Charles, Mona frowned and pushed it aside, looked at Luo An, and said: "These are 11 corpses, 11 victims.


    Including the 9 corpses we just found, there are actually 20 victims on this beach? "


    ��Don��t forget one thing, Mona.��


    ?Luo An put down the photo in his hand, opened the corner of his mouth and said:


    ��Winslow is still busy at the beach with his people. Maybe he will have a surprise there.��


    ����Fu-k!��


    ??Mona twitched the corner of her mouth and couldn''t help but curse in a low voice. Roan then looked at Lacey and asked:


    ��What were the jobs and occupations of these eleven victims during their lifetime?��


    Lacie flipped through and found a folder and introduced:


    ��Yili, was a figure worker during her lifetime.


    Cleo, shape worker.


    Laura, shape worker.


    Charles, not found.


    Selina, shape worker.


    James, not found.


    Kate, shape worker.


    Mandy, not found.


    Jerome, not found.


    Sophia, shape worker.


    Lan Risha, shape worker. "


    ��There are too many people, and I can��t remember just the introduction.��


    ??Luo An stood up from the chair, took the document in Lacey''s hand, and wrote all the information of the eleven victims under the photos on the whiteboard.


    ?Mona looked at Lacey in confusion and asked:


    ��What does ��cannot be found�� above mean?��


    ��That��s the literal meaning.��


    Lacey sat on the chair next to the conference table, handed a folder to Mona, and explained:


    ��There are three main reasons why it cannot be found:


    First, the victim was killed for so long that the Long Island police did not conduct a detailed investigation of a lot of information at the time, and we can��t find it even more now.


    Second, these victims are almost all alone, with few relatives or friends, so it is difficult to find out what their jobs are.


    Third, some of the victims do have relatives and friends, but these relatives and friends either have only a moderate relationship with the victim and do not know what the victim did during his lifetime;


    ?Either these relatives and friends have left New York State, or even left this world due to illness, accident, etc., so we cannot find relevant information. "


    ��This is really����


    Looking at the information in her hand, Mona looked tense and felt like she had a toothache. At this moment, Luo An suddenly said:


    ��Michelle, please work hard and find someone to borrow another... borrow three whiteboards.��


    Mona and Lacey looked up at Luo An after hearing this, and found that there were only 6 photos of the victims posted on the whiteboard in front of the conference table. Coupled with the information written by Luo An, the entire whiteboard no longer had any free space. .


    ��I��ll go right away.��


    ?Michelle nodded, quickly stood up and left the conference room.


    Looking at the densely packed text information on the whiteboard and the photos of the five victims whose information had not been sorted out next to them, Mona felt her scalp numb. She pondered for a few seconds and suggested in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, why don��t you call Veranith and ask her to send someone to help?��


    ��The phone call must be made, but not now.��


    ?Luo An shook his head, narrowed his eyes and looked at the information on the whiteboard, and said:


    ��I seem to have found some interesting clues.��


    ??Mona and Lacey''s eyes lit up, and just as they were about to ask questions, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang:


    ��I am Luo An.��


    ��It��s me, Winslow.��


    Hearing Winslow''s voice on the other end of the phone, Mona and Lacey cheered up, and Roan said:


    ��I hope you can tell me some good news. For example, there is nothing on that seabed, and your work has been in vain.��


    ��I hope so too.��


    By the beach, Winslow looked at the items that the divers had just pulled out, smiled bitterly, and said:


    ��We found two bodies on the seabed.��


    When Mona and Lacey heard this, they immediately closed their eyes and covered their foreheads with their hands. Luo An rubbed his temples helplessly and asked:


    ��How is the decomposition of the body? Can we roughly determine when the victim was killed?��


    ???? Before Winslow could answer, Mona''s cell phone suddenly rang. She pressed the answer button and found out it was Chenelle:


    ��Mona, my name is Roan... No, you all need to come to the autopsy room!��

 Chapter 579： 【Serial Murder Case】x2

    Chapter 579 [Serial Murder Case] ??x2


    Trace examination department, autopsy room.


    ?This autopsy room is not big, and there are not many forensic doctors. On weekdays, up to 2-5 corpses can be processed at the same time.


    Today''s situation is very special. Not only are several people busy in the autopsy room, but there are also people going in and out of the morgue next to it. From time to time, you can hear a few greetings starting with "F".


    ??Luo An took Mona, Michelle and Lacey into the trace examination department and soon met a tall, thin, white man with an ugly face, about 50 years old.


    ?The other party is the old forensic doctor of the trace examination department, Coward.


    Seeing the other person coming, Luo An quickly smiled and stretched out his hand:


    Hello, Mr. Coward, I am Roan Greenwood.


    ��I heard about you, Captain Greenwood.��


    Coward took off his gloves, put on a smile on his face and reached out to shake hands with Roan:


    ��I didn��t expect you would give us such a big gift the first time we met.��


    ?In addition to the nine newly discovered corpses that Roan and Mona dug up on the beach, Lacey and Michelle also brought back five still existing corpses from the Long Island police.


    ��Good job, Mr. Coward.��


    Because of this, although Coward Forensic Doctor and others were very unhappy, they had a good attitude towards Luo An and others. After a few simple greetings, they took the three of them to the morgue not far away.


    Luo An nodded and asked:


    Coupled with the two corpses that Winslow had just recovered from the seabed and just transported here, it means that the Trace Inspection Section needs to process a full 16 corpses in a short period of time.


    Forensic doctor Kovard walked to the first metal car in the first row, lifted up the white cloth, revealing the slightly ferocious body inside, and explained calmly:


    ��The specific autopsy results of the corpses you sent cannot be obtained in a short time.


    ??The girl that Coward''s medical examiner mentioned was Chenelle standing behind her.


    "I haven''t asked for the identity information of these corpses. My students are handling them. You can go find him later."


    ��I have been working here for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I have seen someone like you, Team Leader Greenwood, where the corpses delivered at one time almost fill the morgue floor, and the metal carts are almost not enough.��


    Considering the long time and some other reasons, 6 of the 11 corpses have been cremated by the Long Island police, leaving only photos and other physical evidence and other clues.


    ??Luo An understood that the staff such as Coward''s forensic doctor were under a lot of pressure, so he specially asked Lacey to give them some coffee beans and other small gifts.


    Forensic doctor Kovard walked into the morgue first and complained:


    But during the autopsy, I found that there were some problems with their cause of death, so I asked the girl to call you over. "


    ??Walked into the air-conditioned morgue and turned on the lights. There were two rows of metal cars parked in the huge room, with victims covered with white sheets.


    But this time the number of victims was 11+9+2, and the number was as high as 22.


    ? Luo An smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had encountered serial murder cases in the past, as well as cases with many victims and many corpses.


    ��Can you introduce the problem you are talking about?��


    ?There were 14 corpses sent to the Trace Inspection Department within one day.


    ��These people are the corpses you sent.��


    ? Trace Inspection Section: ������


    ��The causes of death are different.��


    ??And the first victim died in 1992. This is the first time Luo An has encountered a case that has spanned more than ten years.


    Forensic doctor Coward did not talk nonsense and introduced directly:


    ��The 12 corpses in the first row on the left all have injuries to their throat bones, indicating that they died from the same cause, that is, they all suffered from neck compression before death and eventually died of suffocation.��


    "first row?"


    Hearing the words spoken by the forensic doctor Kovad, Luo An''s eyes moved slightly and he looked at the second row of metal cars on the right, frowning slightly:


    ��Did the victims in the second row die from a different cause?��


    "It''s indeed different." Coward''s forensic doctor nodded, covered the white cloth on the first row of corpses, walked to the second row of metal cars, lifted the white cloth on one of the corpses, and introduced expressionlessly:


    ��These eight people all had bullet holes in their skulls on the back of their heads, indicating that they were all shot from behind.


    ?In addition, the corpses of three of the eight people were in good condition. Tests revealed that they had binding marks on their wrists, and their body movements showed kneeling when they died.


    So my students speculated that these eight people should have been kneeling on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, and someone executed them from behind with a gun. "


    After the introduction of Coward''s forensic doctor, Mona, Lacey, and Michelle suddenly looked very ugly, and a not-so-good idea and guess came to their minds.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he pondered for a few seconds, and then asked:


    ��What about the last two people? What was their cause of death?��


    ��The cause of death of these two people is different from the previous ones.��


    Forensic doctor Kovard chuckled, walked to the last two corpses in the second row, lifted up the white cloth and introduced:


    ��These two men have no problem with their throat bones and no bullets in their skulls.


    But the skulls behind their heads all showed signs of damage caused by being hit with sticks. "


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and continued:


    ��You mean, a man took a stick and beat these two men to death in the back.��


    ��The autopsy results have not been completed yet. I don��t know yet whether they were poisoned before their death.��


    Coward��s forensic doctor covered him with a white cloth and said very strictly:


    ��I can only say that based on the traces on the body, your conclusion is fine for the time being.��


    ��OK, thank you very much for your help.��


    ?Luo An stretched out his hand and shook hands with Coward''s forensic doctor, exchanged a few words with him, and led them out of the trace examination department.


    ?Stepping into the elevator and pressing the floor button, Luo An pondered for a few seconds and asked:


    ��What do you think?��


    ?Mona, Michelle, Lacey and Chenelle looked at each other and were silent for a long time. Lacey said first:


    ��I have a bad guess.��


    ��What guess?��


    Lacie swallowed and said:


    ��We won��t encounter two serial murder cases this time, right?��


    ������xN


    The elevator was very quiet. Lacey looked around at the expressions on the faces of Mona, Michelle and Chenelle, and asked:


    ��Do you think the same as me?��


    ?Mona, Michelle and Chenelle looked at each other and nodded. Chenelle crossed her arms over her chest and frowned:


    ��Most serial killers have their own unique killing methods, and over time, they develop a habit that is unique to them, and some serial killers are even proud of it.


    Of the corpses in the morgue just now, some died of suffocation and some died of gunshot wounds to the back of the head. The guy who attacked them was obviously not the same person. "


    ??? Before Lacey could speak, Luo An added:


    ��Besides, don��t forget the two victims who were killed with sticks.��


    The elevator door opened, and several people filed out. Mona said with an ugly face:


    ��So, this time it was actually three serial murders?��


    ??Everyone walked into the office area. When Luo An was thinking about the case, Lacey suddenly said with a strange expression:


    ��Winslow hasn��t come back yet, how about letting him continue searching on the beach?


    ??He just led people to search a small area and found two new corpses.


    The beach is so long. If you continue to search a little bit, you may find something new. "


    ������xN


    When several people heard this, they looked at Lacey speechlessly. Roan threw a bag of snacks to her and blocked her mouth. He looked at Chenille and asked:


    "You said before that the murderer was found to be very arrogant. What exactly happened?"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 580： Naming and victim information of the three cases

    Chapter 580 Naming and victim information of the three cases


    ?Wednesday, 12:30 noon, a temporary office in Long Island, New York.


    ?Hearing Luo An��s inquiry, Cheniel rummaged through a folder on her desk and explained:


    "When the Long Island police were investigating information about a woman named Laura who was engaged in illegal work during her lifetime, they learned from her aunt that someone had used Laura''s cell phone to call her aunt, probably after Laura''s death. The fourth day.


    The voice of the person who made the call had changed in tone. My aunt did not recognize the person at all and could only tell that the person on the phone was a man.


    ??The content of the phone call was a man saying that he had become strong and killed Laura, and that Laura''s struggle during her lifetime made him feel very interesting. "


    ��So arrogant?��


    Lacie frowned:


    ��Didn��t Long Island police investigate the man behind this phone call?��


    ��Unfortunately, no.��


    ��Yili, female, 20 years old, was a figure worker during her lifetime.


    ?However, this kind of thing is considered normal in the Federation. Luo An pondered for a while and said:


    ��Everyone, based on what Kovard��s forensic doctor just introduced, we have temporarily divided these 22 deceased people into three cases.


    ��OK!��


    After Cheniel finished explaining, the expressions of several people present were not very good.


    Selina, female, 20 years old, same as above.


    Kate, female, 22 years old, same as above..."


    Cleo, female, 19 years old, same as above.


    They are the first [serial murder case of graphic workers], the second [serial murder case of being shot in the back of the head], and the third [serial murder case of being beaten to death with a stick in the back of the head].��


    ?Michelle, go to the Behavioral Analysis Unit-BAU and ask two experts to come here to help. Let them do a simulation portrait and psychological analysis of the murderer behind the two serial murders. "


    Chenelle closed the folder and spread her hands:


    ��Long Island police simply recorded the incident and went on to investigate other cases.


    The victim Laura was engaged in illegal work during her lifetime. Her parents had died long ago, and her only relative was this aunt.


    Charles, male, 21 years old, no occupation found.


    It didn��t take long for Chenille, Mona, Winslow, and Lacey to get back the information about the new victims.


    Laura, female, 25 years old, same as above.


    Luo An wrote the names of the three cases on the whiteboard in the conference room, and then said:


    ?All the agents responded in unison and filed out of the conference room. Luo An looked at the information on the whiteboard and put his hand on his chin, lost in thought.


    Luo An posted the photos of the 22 victims on different whiteboards in three groups according to the different ways of death introduced by the medical examiner.


    But my aunt��s living standard is average, even a little poor, and her relationship with Laura is almost non-existent, so my aunt did not ask the Long Island police to investigate later..."


    "no problem!"


    ��Chenelle, Mona, Winslow, Lacey, together with the Trace Inspection Section, you will investigate and get back all the information of the 22 victims and briefly organize it.


    There were 12 victims in the first group who had injuries to their throat bones and died as a result of suffocation. Except for the guy named Charles, who was male, the characteristics of the other 11 victims were very conspicuous, that is, they were all young and beautiful girls engaged in underground work.


    ��So, the murderer of the first serial murder case was a guy who specialized in targeting police workers.��


    After looking at the photos and the victim��s information, the detectives quickly came to this conclusion.


    ?But there is a problem Winslow doesn��t quite understand:


    "This man named Charles...what''s going on with him?"


    Lacie put forward her own guess:


    ��Is the murderer a **** man?��


    ��No, I feel that the murderer may have made a mistake.��


    Roan shook his head and found the photo of Charles when his body was first discovered:


    ��When Charles died, he was wearing women��s clothing and had makeup on his face.


    In addition, Charles''s appearance is somewhat neutral. If the murderer committed the murder at night and the lights are dim, there is a high possibility of misunderstanding. "


    Taking Charles''s photo and looking at it, Lacey twitched the corner of her mouth and nodded to accept Luo An''s guess.


    Mona next to her turned her gaze to the second whiteboard, frowned, and asked:


    ��Then these victims don��t seem to have anything in common?��


    The second whiteboard shows the eight victims who died from gunshot wounds to the back of the head.


    ?The earliest person to die was named James, male, 30 years old, unable to find a job.


    Then there is Mandy, female, 26 years old, unable to find a job. Jerome, male, 18 years old, unable to find a job.


    Hazel, female, 40 years old, works in a laundry.


    Hayes, male, 31 years old, unable to find a job.


    Piderou, male, 24 years old, works in a supermarket.


    Emily, female, 22 years old, works in a restaurant.


    Effren, male, 37 years old, unable to find a job.


    ��Mona is right.��


    Looking at the information about the eight victims, Winslow also frowned:


    ��These people have different genders, different jobs, and different colors of skin, hair, eyeballs, etc.


    Other than the same way of death, there seems to be nothing in common. "


    Luo An crossed his arms over his chest, looked at the photos on the whiteboard and pondered for a while, then said:


    ��The possibility that a serial killer kills randomly and aimlessly is very low. These eight victims must have something in common, but we haven��t found it yet.��


    ??Mona asked:


    ��Then what do we do next?��


    Investigating a case means sifting through a lot of complicated information.


    ��We currently don��t have enough information about the second serial murder case. The first thing we need to do is to investigate and accumulate information about the eight victims.��


    Luo An threw the whiteboard pen aside, then looked at the third whiteboard and said:


    ��However, the above two serial murder cases can be put aside for now.


    Let us investigate first, the last one [a homicide case of being beaten to death with a stick on the back of the head]. "


    Luo An chose to investigate the last case first for two main reasons.


    First, the death time of the two victims was 4 months ago, which was much shorter than the previous two cases that spanned more than ten years.


    Second, serial murder cases are difficult to handle, and the investigation will definitely take a long time. Dealing with the [murder case of being beaten to death with a stick on the back of the head] first can prevent some clues and information from disappearing or being erased during this period.


    "clear!"


    All the opponents understood what Luo An was thinking and nodded in agreement. Luo An did not waste any nonsense and asked directly:


    ��What��s the information about the last two victims?��


    ��It��s much simpler than the previous victims, I��ve found it out.��


    ?Mona typed on the keyboard a few times and introduced:


    ��The two victims who were beaten to death with sticks on the back of the head were a man and a woman.


    ?The female name is Hannah, she is 20 years old and a student at a university in New York.


    The FBI''s internal database shows that Hannah''s mother called the police shortly after she disappeared, but there were no leads until her body was found.


    The male��s name is Bloom, he is 43 years old and is a rapist. "


    ��Body snatcher?!��


    Hearing this word, everyone present was a little surprised. Lacey asked:


    ��How could a female college student die together with a **** offender?��


    ��This is the truth we want to investigate.��


    ??Luo An patted Lacey on the shoulder, then looked at Mona and said:


    ��Tell me a little about Bloom.��


    ��Bloom, 43, was accused of multiple **** offenses during his lifetime.��


    ??Mona retrieved the man''s information, put it in front of everyone, and introduced:


    ��However, he almost went to jail many times due to various reasons such as the rookie police officers acting in advance to conduct illegal searches, which resulted in the evidence being suppressed by the defense lawyers, and the reluctance of some murdered women to testify in court.��


    ��Fu-k!��


    Looking at the photo of Bloom with his head and eyes looking very proud in the case record, Lacey cursed in a low voice, and Luo An pondered for a moment and ordered:


    ��Chenelle, Mona, go investigate the phone call made by the murderer in the first serial murder case and see if the relatives or friends of the other 11 victims have received similar calls.


    Winslow, when Michelle comes back later, you and her will investigate the identity information of the eight victims in the second serial murder case, focusing on investigation and sorting out. "


    The four of them nodded in unison, and Lacey asked:


    "And me?"


    ��You and I, we need to tell the news about Hannah to her mother who has been waiting for four months.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 581： Good girl Hannah, investigation, profiling

    Chapter 581 Good girl Hannah, investigation, profile


    ��Oh, God����


    ??In an apartment in a certain community in eastern New York, a white woman in her forties wearing dark brown clothes was slumped on the sofa and sobbing.


    The woman is the mother of college student Hannah, named Emilia


    After learning that her daughter had been killed, her mood collapsed instantly. Lacey quickly sat next to her and whispered comfort. Luo An got her a glass of water and whispered:


    ��I��m sorry, please have my condolences.��


    ��Who is the murderer?!��


    As soon as Luo An finished speaking, Hannah��s mother Emilia raised her head with red eyes and said sharply:


    ��Did you catch that guy? Why did he do this? That **** guy����


    ��Sorry, Ms. Emilia, we haven��t found the murderer yet.��


    Luo An shook his head and said softly:


    ��We are here this time just to ask you for some clues����


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Emilia was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the person in front of her was not a New York police officer.


    "sorry."


    Before Luo An could finish his words, Emilia interrupted him and asked loudly:


    ��Four months have passed! You still haven��t found the murderer?!


    I have looked for you many times! You say you are investigating every time, you are investigating! Now my daughter is dead! You actually..."


    ��We are the FBI, and we were not responsible for this case before.


    ��Has Hannah ever had any trouble with anyone?��


    "I just��"


    ��FBI����


    I understand your feelings, but please control your emotions. After all, our top priority now is to find the murderer of your daughter, isn''t it? "


    ��No, Hannah is a very good girl.��


    ?Emilia shook her head, and Lacey continued to ask:


    ��You haven��t found the murderer yet?��


    ��Older man?��


    Emilia continued to shake her head, and after thinking about it, she added:


    ��But she told me before that she was dating an older man.��


    Luo An did not continue to talk nonsense and asked directly:


    ��Did Hannah ever tell you that anyone was threatening or following her?��


    ��We understand.��


    Hearing this, Luo An glanced at Lacey. Upon seeing this, Lacey immediately took out a photo of the other deceased, Bloom, from her pocket and asked:


    Luo An was not angry. He just handed the water glass to the other party and explained quietly:


    After pondering for a while, Emilia took the paper and wiped away her tears, cursed the NYPD in a low voice, apologized to Luo An and Lacey, and said with choked sobs:


    ?The layout of this apartment is very warm, and Emilia''s temperament is also very gentle, but now that she learned that her daughter was dead, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.


    ��Ms. Emilia, please have my condolences.��


    ��No.��


    ��Is it this man?��


    ��I don��t know, Hannah hasn��t told me much.��


    Emilia still shook her head and said:


    ��I have never seen this man. Who is he? Is he a suspected murderer?��


    ��No, he is somewhat related to another case we investigated.��


    After asking a few more questions and determining that they could not get any useful information, Roan and Lacey left Emilia''s apartment.


    The two got into the SUV. After starting the SUV and not going far, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang a text message tone.


    Lacie asked casually:


    "what happened?"


    ��It��s Bloom and Hannah��s autopsy report.��


    Luo An explained while reading the text message:


    ��The trace examination department first conducted an autopsy on the two people, and the results showed that the cause of death of Bloom and Hannah was indeed the wound on the back of the head that was hit by a stick-like object, and the time of death of the two was also the same.


    ?In addition, there were no signs of violence on Hannah��s private parts. "


    Lacie let out a breath of relief, then frowned and said:


    "So, Hannah and Bloom were both beaten to death by a man with a stick and then thrown into the sea...Who has such a big hatred against them?"


    ��I don��t know, but we can go find Hannah��s classmates.��


    ??The red light turned green, Luo An put away his phone and started the car, saying:


    ��Maybe Hannah��s friends will know who she��s dating.��


    ����


    The SUV was very fast. It didn��t take long for the two of them to arrive at a university in New York and find Hannah��s dormitory classmate.


    Upon learning the purpose of Luo An and Lacey''s visit, the girl named Alice, who had short blond hair, a pair of big round glasses on her face, and a book in her arms, looked very nervous and looked around constantly. Lacey walked up to Alice calmly and whispered:


    ��Alice, it��s important for us to tell the truth.��


    After a long silence, Alice raised her head and glanced at Luo An. Seeing this, Luo An immediately turned around and walked away.


    Seeing Luo An walk away, Alice breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:


    ��Hannah has been dating our professor Mullins.


    She was able to enter this university because of Professor Mullins'' help. "


    Lacey could still understand the first words, but the latter words made her full of confusion:


    ��What kind of help does Professor Mullins help?��


    Alice��s head almost buried in her chest, and her voice was much lower than before:


    ��It was a recommendation letter written by Professor Mullins for Hannah.


    As you know, Hannah��s family background is average, and it is impossible to enter this university without a letter of recommendation. "


    Lacey��s face changed, she thought of something in an instant, and whispered:


    "What do you mean? Hannah had a relationship with Professor Mullins when she was still in high school and underage?"


    ??Alice was silent for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and then added:


    ��Professor Mullins goes to some high schools every year to give some lectures and take some free courses.��


    "damn it!"


    Hearing that Professor Mullins used letters of recommendation to lure and force underage girls to have **** with him, Lacey was furious.


    Luo An also looked solemn when he learned about this and asked:


    ��Where is this Professor Mullins?��


    ��He has left the university.��


    Alice replied:


    ��It seems that there was a conflict with the school because of some scientific issues.��


    Lacie raised her eyebrows, and Luo An asked:


    ��When did he leave?��


    ��About four months ago.��


    After Alice left, Roan and Lacey quickly obtained the university and residence location of Professor Mullins from the school.


    In the SUV, Lacey was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the photo of a white professor in a suit and tie, with a slicked back hair, and yelled:


    ��What a **** bastard!��


    ?Luo An didn��t say anything, and just silently accelerated the speed of the car.


    ?Halfway, Lacey��s cell phone rang, and she pressed the answer button. Michelle��s voice came from the phone, and she said:


    ��Experts sent by the Behavioral Analysis Section have completed the simulation portrait of the murderer in the first serial murder case.


    As for the second serial murder case, due to insufficient data, a simulation portrait cannot be made for the time being. "


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An, who was driving, also heard Michelle��s voice and said:


    ��Give me a brief introduction.��


    ��OK.��


    Michelle picked up the folder and read aloud:


    ��The Behavioral Analysis Section believes that the murderer of the [Shape Worker Serial Murder Case] ??should have the following characteristics:


    First, white male, around 30-45 years old.


    Considering that more than ten years have passed since the first case occurred, the suspect should be around 40-55 years old now.


    Second, the suspect is married or has a girlfriend and is highly educated.


    Third, the financial situation is good and there is a second means of transportation in addition to the means of transportation used to go to work on weekdays.


    Fourth, psychological or emotional state, long-term depression..."


    ?Michelle mentioned several characteristics one after another, Luo An��s eyes gradually narrowed, and Lacey��s face became weirder the more she listened.


    After Michelle finished speaking, Lacey looked at Luo An and whispered:


    ��Roan, Emily seemed to say just now that Professor Mullins is about 57 years old this year, right?��


    ? Luo An turned the steering wheel, drove the SUV to another road, and said at the same time:


    "I just looked at the school records. Professor Mullins is exactly 57 years old this year."


    Lacie swallowed and asked:


    ��Then do you think this Professor Mullins is...?��


    ��The probability is not high.��


    ? Luo An shook his head, and before Lacey could speak further, he parked the SUV on the side of the road and said:


    ��We��re at Professor Mullins��s house, we can have a good chat with him.��

 Chapter 582： interrogation, questioning, profiler

    Chapter 582: Interrogation, Questions, Profiler


    The next day, Thursday, in the morning, in a temporarily borrowed interrogation room in Long Island, New York, an elderly white man in a suit and tie with a slicked back hair sat on a chair behind the interrogation table, looked at Luo An expressionlessly, and said:


    ��Listen, Mr. FBI, I didn��t kill anyone. It wasn��t me who killed anyone. I��m not a murderer, okay?��


    Looking at the dog-like and sanctimonious Professor Mullins in front of him, Luo An smiled, took a sip of his coffee, and said:


    ��These words come from the mouth of a t-training addict, and they don��t seem to be very credible.��


    ��I��m not practicing t addiction!��


    ?This word was like a switch. Professor Mullins became furious when he heard it. He banged the interrogation table with both hands and shouted:


    "You are slandering! It is slander! I will sue you!"


    ��It doesn��t matter, it��s up to you.��


    ? Luo An grinned, took a folder from Lacey next to him, and said calmly:


    ��According to our investigation, in the 13 years since you began to hold the position of professor, you have written university introduction letters for 16 girls and 4 boys.��


    "They are all good children who are good at learning. I will provide them with some help to the best of my ability. Is there any problem?"


    ??Yesterday afternoon, Luo An and Lacey successfully arrived at Professor Mullins'' home, but before even entering the door, they were denied access by the other party on the grounds that "there was no search warrant."


    Just as Malins was about to speak, Luo An interrupted him one step ahead and said coldly:


    "Mr. Mullins, there is no need to argue here about who you are. The jury, the judge, and the prisoners in the prison will make their own judgment.


    Let us still focus on Hannah. According to the investigation, not long after she disappeared and died, you left the university where she was and went to work at another university. Is this too much of a coincidence? "


    But there are a few older men and women who have already entered society who understand the meaning behind that incident.


    Professor Mullins�� muscles tensed up. After opening and closing his mouth for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:


    ?Looking at the folder pushed in front of him, Malins''s face gradually turned red. Luo An chuckled and said:


    ��I��m not a twitch, I��m just a minor-attracted people! (A person who can be attracted to children)��


    Professor Mullins'' face changed slightly, but his tone was still very strong and he said:


    ������x2


    Hearing the words spoken by Mullins, the cold look on Lacey''s face became more serious, and Luo Luoan grinned:


    ��As expected of a professor, he can create a proper noun for himself so quickly.��


    There are several young men and women among them who have been severely brainwashed by Professor Mullins. They always firmly believe that this is a "you are willing to do it" transaction.


    ����


    They were also quickly persuaded by Luo An, Cheniel, Lacey and others, and expressed their willingness to testify in court.


    ? Luo An closed the folder and sneered:


    ��Now that we��ve started asking you these things, do you think we have nothing in our hands?��


    ��Mr. Mullins, how are the prisoners who practice T-fetish treated in prison? Do you need me to introduce them to you?��


    Professor Mullins became even more angry, and Lacey sneered:


    ��These people were all minors at the time, and you used letters of introduction to deceive them and have **** with them. What else is it if you don��t practice T-fetish?��


    ��Don��t talk about yourself like a white lotus, Mr. Mullins.��


    ��I told you, I��m not practicing t addiction!��


    "I am��"


    "Is there a problem?"


    Lacey was very angry at the time. Luo An stopped her with his hand and turned around to leave. Then he led the agents of Investigation Team 13 to investigate what Professor Mullins had done over the years and found some information that he had used. Talked to young men and women who sent letters of recommendation to college.


    "I��"


    Professor Mullins opened his mouth, remained silent for a long time, and said seriously:


    ��Listen, Mr. Agent and Ms. Agent, I do have some clues about Hannah��s disappearance and murder.


    But it��s really not me who killed her, and I��m really not a practicing T. "


    ?Luo An ignored Professor Mullins��s last sentence and asked directly:


    ��What clues do you know?��


    Professor Mullins spread his hands:


    ��I ask for a pardon.��


    ��Then just sit here.��


    ??Lacie sneered, and Luo An left the chair and stood up:


    ��I will send someone to take you to prison later.��


    ��Wait a minute! Wait a minute!��


    Professor Mullins hurriedly waved his hand and said:


    ��We can talk!��


    ��There��s nothing to talk about, Mr. Mullins.��


    Luo An picked up the coffee cup on the table and drank it. He looked at Mullins coldly and said: "Two options. One, you don''t say anything. I will ask someone to send you to a temporary prison now. Two, tell all the clues you know."


    ����


    Roan and Mullins looked at each other for a moment. Mullins lowered his head first and said:


    ��Four months ago, Hannah contacted me and asked me to go out for dinner after get off work.


    When I arrived at the door of the restaurant, I found Hannah sitting in a car, chatting with a man.


    I wanted to call Hannah to ask if she had arrived, and to make some insinuations to figure out the situation, but Hannah called me first and said that she was temporarily busy and that the meal would be eaten another day.


    Without waiting for my answer, Hannah hung up the phone first, and then the man drove her out of the restaurant. "


    As for the real reason why Mullins later transferred schools, it was actually because someone on the university��s board of directors found out about his use of letters of recommendation to lure and deceive others, and he was kicked out of that university.


    After Mullins finished narrating, Lacey frowned, and Roan��s expression remained unchanged. He took out the photo of the **** Bloom from his pocket and asked:


    ��Is that the man you saw?��


    ?Marins took the photo and looked at it, nodded heavily and said:


    ��That��s right! It��s him!��


    Getting Mullins''s affirmative answer, Lacey had more doubts in her mind. She really couldn''t figure out why Hannah got into Bloom''s car and why she walked with him.


    ??Luo An asked the specific time of that night, as well as the name and location of the restaurant, then stood up and led Lacey out of the interrogation room.


    Walking into the office area, Luo An handed the interrogation record to Mona and said:


    ��Mona, this was the last recorded appearance of Hannah before her disappearance and death.


    ??You carefully check the surveillance near this restaurant and see if you can find out where the car went behind. "


    ��OK, leave it to me.��


    ??Mona nodded heavily in agreement, turned around and walked to her seat and started typing on the keyboard.


    ?At the same time, Michelle came over with a white woman in her thirties who was wearing an FBI standard suit. She was about a head shorter than Luo An, with a ponytail and a round face.


    ��This is Team Leader Luo An of our Investigation Team No. 13��


    Luo An reached out and shook hands with each other, and Michelle introduced each other:


    ��Team leader, this is a professional profiler from the Behavioral Analysis Department, Anne Mori.��


    ��Hello, Ms. Morrie.��


    ��Just call me Annie.��


    Anne showed a smile on her round face and said:


    ��I have long heard that Team Leader Luo An of Investigation Team No. 13 is handsome and good at solving crimes. Today I finally have the opportunity to meet him.��


    "you flatter me."


    ?Luo An smiled, and after the two shook hands and exchanged a few simple greetings, Luo An brought the topic down to business and asked:


    ��Annie, what do you think of the murderer of the two serial murders?��


    ��As far as profiling is concerned, the more information you investigate, the more specific a description I can give.��


    Anne smiled and said:


    ��I have already made my judgment on the murderer of the first serial murder case.


    But for the second serial murder case, I''m sorry, the clues you have are really few, and I can''t make an accurate judgment. "


    ��Understandable.��


    Luo An nodded, looked at Michelle, and asked:


    ��How is the investigation going, Winslow and Chenelle?��


    "We''re back!"


    ?At this moment, Winslow and Chenille, who were responsible for investigating the second serial murder case involving gunshot wounds to the back of the head, and information on eight victims, each walked into the office area holding two large cardboard boxes and said with a smile:


    ��The time is just right.��


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Roan patted Winslow and Chenelle on the shoulders, and they walked into the conference room together. At this moment, Mona came over holding a laptop:


    ��Luo An, I found a suspicious car.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 583： Sin in the refrigerator

    Chapter 583 Sin in the Refrigerator


    Thursday, morning, in a temporarily borrowed office in Long Island, New York.


    After Mona finished speaking, everyone present immediately gathered together, and Luo An asked:


    "what happened?"


    ??Mona put her laptop on the table, pulled up a surveillance video, and explained:


    ��This is surveillance video from the restaurant Mullins was talking about.��


    In the surveillance video, everyone clearly saw the action and scene of Hannah and Bloom standing together and talking, and then Hannah getting into Bloom''s car.


    ? Then Bloom started the car and left the restaurant. As soon as the car left, a black car diagonally opposite the restaurant entrance immediately started to leave.


    ��I didn��t notice the black car at first.��


    ?Mona typed on the keyboard a few times, called up another surveillance video, and said:


    ��The second video is a surveillance video from an intersection not far from the restaurant.


    Bloom drove Hannah and passed the intersection, and the black car followed him again. "


    Looking at the photo of the thin white woman with messy brown hair, slightly protruding eyes, dull eyes, and thin body, everyone frowned.


    ��What a strange thing.��


    Lacie scratched her head and said:


    ��Why do I feel like the whole thing is full of doubts.


    ��Can you find out who the owner of this black car is?��


    ?In addition, an NYPD patrol record shows that Bloom once reported a crime, saying that someone stole items from his home.


    ��Did this Josephine have any relationship with Bloom?��


    ??If the murderer was Josephine, why did she kill Hannah? Missed? "


    Luo An was silent for a moment, then asked:


    Everyone present had seen the appearance of a drug addict, and it was obvious at a glance that Josephine had obviously eaten flour.


    Winslow nodded seriously, and Luo An asked:


    ��Of course, I��ve found out.��


    "certainly."


    ��Looking for revenge on Bloom?��


    ��Someone is actually following a strong prisoner.��


    ?Mona nodded heavily and said:


    ��In fact, according to the information, Bloom sold Josephine��s car to her at a low price.


    ?Luo An patted Mona on the shoulder and said:


    ��Where does this Josephine live now?��


    Mona said it was a trivial matter. She scrolled down the computer page and a photo of a middle-aged white woman appeared in front of everyone. She introduced:


    ��Josephine, 41 years old, has no occupation, no criminal record, and no tax filing record.��


    ??When the patrol arrived at Bloom''s residence later, they found the suspicious Josephine, but Bloom later canceled the alarm, saying that it was a misunderstanding and that he had not lost anything, but had just seen it wrong. "


    ��Bring the person back and ask him, and you will know.��


    ��It��s possible.��


    Lacie narrowed her eyes slightly and guessed:


    ��There is very little effective information about her, and it is impossible to find where she lives.��


    ?Mona frowned slightly, typed on the keyboard for a moment, and said:


    ��But this black car was filled with gasoline a few days ago. Maybe we can get Josephine��s address from that gas station.��


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction and ordered:


    ��Mona, Winslow, and Michelle stayed in the office to help Ms. Anne analyze the murderer of the second serial murder case.


    ?Lacey, Chenelle, come with me. Let��s go to that gas station and fill up the SUV with gas. "


    "clear!"


    ����


    An hour later, Luo An and the other two arrived at the gas station successfully.


    ?While the staff was refueling the SUV, Luo An learned from the other party that the owner of the black car lived nearby.


    ?However, he didn''t know the exact location, so he suggested that Luo An and the other three go to the laundry not far away and ask. There might be a lot of gain there because of the largest flow of people.


    The SUV was filled with gas, the staff put the oil gun back to its original position and asked casually:


    ��What did that girl do?��


    "girl?"


    Hearing this word, Lacey and Chenie were stunned for a moment, and Roan narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��You said the owner of that black car is a girl?��


    ��That��s right.��


    The gas station staff nodded and said:


    "She looks to be in her twenties, has short black hair, is very beautiful, and has two dimples on her face when she smiles." Lacey and Chenelle looked at each other, and both saw the suspicion in each other''s eyes, Luo An Then asked:


    ��Do you know that girl��s name?��


    ��Sorry, I didn��t ask.��


    ��OK, thank you.��


    "Emotional perception" can confirm that the other party is telling the truth. Luo An simply thanked her, led Lacey and Chenelle back to the SUV, and drove away from the gas station.


    ��This girl����


    Chenelle frowned and said:


    ��She is a car thief?��


    ��The records Mona found did not indicate that Josephine had given birth.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he turned the steering wheel and turned onto another road, saying:


    ��Go to the laundromat and ask, maybe we can figure out who the other person is.��


    A few minutes later, the three of them arrived at the laundromat next to the intersection.


    After a brief inquiry, the manager of the laundry said that she did not know the girl��s name, but she knew the girl��s address, which was in the community building diagonally opposite.


    "Thanks."


    ?With a simple thank you, the three of them walked towards a very ordinary-looking community not far away, and soon arrived at the floor that the laundry manager said.


    ??The elevator door opened. As soon as he entered the 6th floor of the building, Luo An''s expression changed slightly and he took out a Glock 18 from his waist.


    Chenelle and Lacey''s expressions changed when they saw this, they quickly took out their weapons and asked in a low voice:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��Smells of blood.��


    Luo An''s nose twitched slightly. The moment the elevator door opened, a faint smell of blood invaded his nostrils.


    ??The further he walked, the stronger the smell became. When he reached a door, Luo An was sure that the smell was coming from this room.


    Lacie frowned slightly:


    ��Why don��t I smell anything?��


    Roan patted Lacey on the shoulder. Chenelle, who was next to her, looked at the house number on the room, her face changed slightly, and she whispered:


    ��Luo An, this is the room where the laundry manager said the girl lived.��


    ??The three of them were holding weapons, two on the left and one on the right, ready on both sides of the door. They knocked briefly on the door a few times. When they found no one answered, they stopped talking, kicked the door open and rushed in.


    After entering the room, the three people immediately dispersed left and right, carefully checking each room with weapons.


    Chenelle shouted first:


    ��The left bedroom is safe!��


    Lacie''s voice followed quickly:


    ��Kitchen Ann��a generous gift of crab!��


    "What''s wrong?"


    ?Hearing Lacey''s surprised cry, Chenelle''s expression changed, and she hurried out of the bedroom and rushed to the kitchen, where she found Lacey standing in a daze at the door of the refrigerator in the kitchen.


    ? Following Lacey��s gaze, she saw a human head frozen in a large block of ice in the open refrigerator.


    The face of the head is that of a woman. It is frozen in ice, with its eyes wide open and its mouth wide, with a shocked and angry expression on its face. It is staring at Lacey and Chenelle outside the refrigerator.


    Luo An also heard the sound and came over. When he saw the female head in the ice, his expression remained unchanged. He observed carefully for a few seconds and frowned:


    ��It��s Josephine.��


    ??Then Luo An looked at Lacey, took her arm and walked to the side, whispering:


    ��You should take a rest.��


    "��Feel sorry."


    Lacie raised her hand to her forehead and walked to the side, whispering:


    ��I need to slow down.��


    ??Lacie is not afraid of corpses, nor is she afraid of a life-or-death fight with an enemy with a gun.


    But Lacey is easily frightened by dismembered corpses, especially those found suddenly.


    In the past, when they were still in the No. 5 Investigation Team, Luo An and Lacey dealt with the serial murder case for the first time. When they found the dismembered bodies in the refrigerator, Lacey was shocked (Chapter 24) and relaxed. long time.


    Roan still remembered this incident and understood Lacey, so he asked her to go aside to relax. Then he looked at Chenelle and asked:


    "How are you?"


    ��I��m fine.��


    Chenelle swallowed and shook her head. Because of Lacey''s actions, she was mentally prepared. Although she was also frightened by the head in the ice, she quickly calmed down her emotions.


    ??Confirming that there was really nothing wrong with Chenelle, Luoan closed the refrigerator door with a slight sigh of relief. Chenelle frowned and asked:


    ��What is the relationship between that girl and Josephine?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 584： Murderer, having mental problems does not mean there is a problem with IQ

    Chapter 584 Murderer, having mental problems does not mean there is a problem with IQ


    ��It should be mother and daughter.��


    Hearing Cheniel��s question, Luo An took out a photo frame and handed it to her and said:


    ��This is the picture I found in the right bedroom.��


    Chenelle took the photo frame and found two women sitting on the sofa inside.


    ??The woman on the left has a haggard face and grins reluctantly at the camera. She is Josephine.


    The woman on the right has short black hair, a delicate face, a bright smile, and two dimples on her face. She is the unknown girl.


    Handing the photo back to Luo An, Chenelle��s face became even more suspicious:


    ��But didn��t you say before that Josephine had no birth record?��


    ��The possibility that the girl was picked up by Josephine cannot be ruled out.��


    ??Luo An turned around and left the kitchen, waved his hand for Chenelle to follow, and said at the same time:


    ��Besides, this is the Federation, and you don��t have to go to the hospital to give birth.��


    ???��


    I learned from the laundry manager that the black-haired girl returns home every day around three or four in the afternoon.


    ?Luo An pushed the door open and walked into the bathroom. Chenier followed his guidance and turned her eyes and discovered that there was a bathtub in the bathroom.


    As a result, as soon as the key was inserted into the keyhole of the door, the door collapsed toward the inside of the room.


    �O


    ?The trivial matter of giving birth is not a problem for federal people except in hospital wards, trash cans, bathrooms, public restrooms, and even on the streets.


    The Federation is a free and democratic country with relatively simple folk customs.


    After waiting quietly for a long time, the elevator door suddenly opened. The black-haired girl hummed a nursery rhyme, holding a bag of ingredients in her hand, and walked slowly to her room.


    ?At this moment, Luo An, Mona and Chenelle rushed out of the next room with pistols raised and said sternly:


    "do not move!"


    ��Look at the bathroom.��


    Chenelle was silent for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    There are many small dark red marks in the gaps next to the bathtub.


    Since the door had been kicked down by Luo An and could not be repaired in a short period of time, Luo An led Lacey and Chenelle to temporarily borrow a neighbor''s room.


    As long as they have a pair of scissors, they can show what the miracle of life is.


    Looking at the door that collapsed in front of her, the black-haired girl looked confused.


    ??Going to the door, the black-haired girl took out the key and prepared to open the door while talking.


    ??Hearing Luo An''s answer, Cheniel''s face became very ugly when she thought of similar incidents. She followed Luo An into the right bedroom. She came back to her senses and asked:


    ��What did you find?��


    ��Mom, I��m back.��


    ?Luo An took Cheniel out of the right bedroom and said softly:


    ��Sit back and wait.��


    Obviously, this is where the girl disposed of Josephine''s body.


    ��Put your hands behind your head!��


    ����


    ??The black-haired girl was stunned for a moment, then grinned, and then suddenly took out a dagger from her pocket. Instead of attacking Lacey and Chenelle who were closest to her, she stabbed herself in the chest.


    Ding-


    ?The next second, Luo An moved very quickly, his figure flashed in front of the black-haired girl, grabbed the dagger and threw it aside, and cuffed the handcuffs on the black-haired girl''s wrist.


    Looking at Luo An''s handsome face in front of her, the black-haired girl smiled even brighter and asked in a low voice:


    ��Hello, my name is Lily, what��s your name?��


    ����


    A few hours later, at 8:30 pm, in a temporarily borrowed office in Long Island, New York.


    The door to the interrogation room was opened, and a white woman with gold-rimmed eyes and a delicate face walked out. She raised the folder in her hand and said seriously:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, your guess is correct. This girl named Lily has serious mental problems.��


    Hearing this, Lacey and Chenelle looked ugly, while Luoan��s expression remained unchanged and asked:


    ��Can you give us a detailed introduction?��


    ��Of course.�� The female psychiatrist who was temporarily borrowed by Luo An from other departments nodded and introduced:


    ��This girl named Lily not only suffers from a mental disorder caused by psychoactive substances, that is, paranoia, but also has schizophrenia, antisocial personality disorder, and pica.��


    "Pica?"


    Hearing this word, Lacey and Chenelle looked confused, because when they arrested Lily before, the ingredients they bought were all normal food.


    ??In response to the questions raised by Lacey and Chenelle, the female psychiatrist closed the folder, took a deep breath, and said:


    ��But she ate her own mother, the lady you call Josephine.��


    ����


    Lacie and Chenie suddenly fell silent. Before Roan could ask any questions, the female psychiatrist added:


    ��In addition, Lily also admitted that she was responsible for the deaths of Bloom and Hannah that you investigated.


    Lily was a child picked up by Josephine. Later, after Josephine met and had a relationship with Bloom, Bloom also reached out to Lily.


    Josephine turned a blind eye to these things from beginning to end, and even joined in playing together, which made Lily full of resentment towards the two of them. "


    Lacie and Chenelle��s expressions became even more ugly. Roan was silent for a few seconds and asked:


    ��What does this have to do with Hannah?��


    ��Lily��s goal at the beginning was just to kill the man Bloom for revenge.


    ??During the dispute between Bloom and Hannah later, Lily sneaked up from behind and killed Bloom. "


    The female psychiatrist replied:


    ��As for the reason Lily killed Hannah, Hannah and Josephine were similar in build and height, and both had brown hair.


    Lily''s hatred for Josephine only increased, so after defeating Bloom, Lily recognized Hannah as her mother Josephine and beat her to death.


    After returning home, Lily couldn''t control her emotions after seeing the blood, and killed Josephine again when she was paralyzed from inhaling flour.


    But years of nurturing made Lily very grateful to Josephine, so Lily kept Josephine''s head as if her mother was still there, cooking for her and accompanying her every day. "


    ����


    After the female psychiatrist finished narrating, the air became quiet, Lacey''s face was gloomy, and Chenelle clenched her hands into fists and was breathing rapidly.


    Through the glass door of the interrogation room, Luo An saw Lily inside smiling at him. He was silent for a moment and shook hands with the female psychiatrist:


    ��Thank you for your hard work.��


    "You''re welcome."


    The two exchanged brief greetings, and Luo An asked Chenelle to send the female psychiatrist away.


    Looking at their leaving figures, Lacey took a deep breath and asked:


    ��Luo An, what should we do next?��


    ?Luo An closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and said:


    ��When the results of Lily��s psychological report come out, she will be handed over to the mental management center.��


    Lacie frowned when she heard this:


    "But��"


    Luo An looked back at her and said seriously:


    ��But what? Lacey, there are two things you cannot forget or mix up.


    First, Lily just confessed that her murder weapon was a baseball bat, and told the location where it was abandoned. I will ask Winslow to take people there to investigate and search later.


    Second, mental problems do not mean IQ problems. Lily is not a fool, she can clearly distinguish between good and bad things about herself. "


    Without discussing these matters too much with Lacey, Luo An patted her on the shoulder and said:


    ��After all, Lily killed an innocent person, and the rest of the matter can follow normal procedures.��


    Walking into the conference room, Luo An made a phone call. Everyone briefly dealt with the follow-up of the case. After Lily was taken away by people from the psychiatric department, everyone left work and left the office area.


    In the hotel room, Mona finished washing, put on a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom, sighing in a low voice:


    ��What a sad case.��


    ����


    Not hearing Luo An''s answer, Mona put down the towel to wipe her hair and looked towards the living room not far away. She found Luo An sitting on the sofa, looking at the information on the coffee table and thinking deeply.


    ��Hey, it��s time to get off work, my investigation team leader.��


    ??Mona folded the towel into a square, covered Luo An''s eyes from behind, and said:


    "It''s time to rest."


    ��Let��s talk about rest later.��


    Luo An pulled the towel off his eyes and frowned:


    ��The second serial murder case, I suddenly felt something familiar.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 585： president. Anyone who kills people often knows that

    Chapter 585 President. Anyone who kills people often knows...


    ??In the hotel room, Mona hugged Luo An''s neck from behind, her head was squeezed next to Luo An''s head, and she asked doubtfully:


    ��What place is familiar?��


    ?Luo An touched Mona��s arm and whispered:


    "Anyone who often kills people knows that killing is easy, but disposing of the body is the most troublesome."


    ����


    ?Mona rolled her eyes at Luo An:


    ��What do you mean? Do you often kill people?��


    ?Luo An lowered his head and kissed Mona��s arm, and said with a smile:


    ��No, I mean, corpses are difficult for a lot of people to deal with.��


    "I know."


    ??Mona nodded. She had been exposed to so many cases and had seen many case files in the past. She understood what Luo An said was fine, but Mona was still a little confused:


    ?Mona put her hands on her hips and said:


    ��It��s ahead of schedule, it��s not like it hasn��t happened before.��


    ?Mona blushed pretty, hit Luo An''s arm hard, turned around and left:


    After washing up, Luo An simply tidied up and lay down on the bed, kissed Mona, turned off the bedside lamp and got ready to sleep.


    ??Luo An sighed, reluctantly put down Mona''s feet, turned around and walked to the nearby bathroom to start washing up.


    ?Luo An was stunned when he grabbed Mona''s feet and frowned slightly:


    ��I remember the time is not today?��


    ?Luo An grinned, tilted his head and kissed Mona''s pretty face, and then said softly:


    ��You..., I��ll tell you.��


    "All right."


    ��You sleep on the sofa tonight!��


    ��What do you say?��


    In the dark night, Luo An suddenly raised his eyebrows:


    ��Mona, what do you want to do?��


    ��Wow, I love your saving.��


    ����


    ??Mona suddenly increased the movement of her hands, causing Luo An to snort, and she laughed:


    ��I just put on your favorite lipstick. It��s not a good habit to waste it.��


    ��Just got some ideas.��


    "what idea?"


    ��I��m not convenient today.��


    ��It doesn��t count if you say it!��


    ??Mona sat on the edge of the big bed, put her feet on Luo An''s chest, and said with a smile:


    ��No, I really mean what I said.��


    ??Luo An threw the document in his hand on the coffee table, turned over the sofa and rushed towards Mona, smiling:


    "So, Luo An, what do you mean? Have you discovered the pattern of the murderer behind the second serial murder case?"


    ?Luo An put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes quietly.


    ����


    The next day, at nine o''clock in the morning, in the temporarily borrowed office, everyone continued to deal with the follow-up work of the "Murder Case with a Stick on the Back of the Head".


    ?Suddenly, Luo An''s cell phone rang. He pressed the answer button and found that it was Veranith.


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    "good morning."


    Veranith smiled and asked:


    ��How is the case going?��


    ��Well...this case is a little complicated.��


    Luo An walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, took a sip of coffee, and began to briefly describe what was originally thought to be one case, but now turned out to be three cases.


    After hearing Luo An��s statement, Veranith��s expression suddenly changed.


    ?One serial murder case was already difficult to solve, but now it has become two cases, and there is another case of double corpses. Veranith''s face was as dark as water, and she said seriously:


    "Luo An, I''m going to..."


    ��Fortunately, I have led people to investigate the third double corpse case.��


    ??Luo An smiled, drank the coffee in the cup, then described Hannah''s case, and then asked:


    ��Sir, what did you just say?��


    "��fine."


    Veranith rolled her beautiful eyes, her eyes were shining brightly, and she was not angry with Luo An. She pondered for a few seconds and said:


    "Do you need me to send someone to help?" "No need for now. I will call the chief if necessary."


    ��OK.��


    Verineth nodded, then she lowered her voice and whispered:


    ��Also, Roan, there��s something I need to tell you.


    ??The investigation team you led has a 100% case detection rate so far. I don��t know who has spread the word, but now it has been known to the president. "


    ?Luo An put down his coffee cup. The news really surprised him:


    ��Federal President?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Veranith��s tone was very serious and she said:


    ��Listen Roan, I know it��s an honor to meet the president.


    But matters at the presidential level are very complicated, far beyond what people at your level and mine can handle.


    ??If someone from the president comes to see you, you must not rush to agree. You must contact me or Mr. Clement as soon as possible. Do you understand? "


    After such a long period of contact and work, Veranith has seen that Luo An does not value power very much and prefers money.


    However, as the Federation is one of the top countries on the planet, and the president, as the leader of a country, his status and power are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine, and the promises he can make are by no means ordinary.


    ??So Verenis is very worried that Luo An will respond to the other party''s orders in a hot head without knowing anything, and get involved in some complicated events.


    In the end, he was made a scapegoat for some people for no apparent reason, and he lost his life without even knowing what happened.


    ��I understand, sir.��


    ?Hearing Veranith''s words, Luo An''s expression became extremely serious, and he nodded in agreement.


    ??It doesn��t matter who the current federal president is, nor does the identity of future federal presidents matter. What matters is only their stance and party.


    In 2006, the battle between the Republicans and the Democrats was not as intense as it would be in the future, but there was still a lot of chaos.


    ?Luo An has a deep understanding of the murderous nature of the federal political arena, and has always thought about using the things inside to move forward.


    There are pitfalls on both sides, and the risk factor is too high to be worth it.


    ��As long as you understand.��


    Veranith breathed a sigh of relief, and the two chatted briefly for a while. When she was about to hang up the phone, Luo An suddenly interrupted her and asked in a low voice:


    ��Sir, do you know who the person who reported that I have a 100% case detection rate is?��


    ��I don��t know, I��m investigating.��


    Veranith��s expression changed and she asked:


    ��Luo An, what are your guesses?��


    Luo An was silent for a few seconds, narrowed his eyes slightly, and whispered:


    ��Sir, Minister Antoine from the Office of Professional Responsibility once invited me to have dinner with him after get off work, but I was busy working on a case at the time, so I declined.��


    Hearing Luo An''s name, Veranith''s face suddenly turned cold, and she said in a cold voice:


    ��I understand, Luo An, you can continue working on the case, and remember to call me in time if you need help.��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    ?Hang up the phone, Luo An looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a flash of thoughtfulness flashed in his eyes, and whispered to himself:


    ��Jews����


    At this moment, Michelle came over and said:


    ��Team leader, all the relevant information on the first serial murder case and the second serial murder case has been sorted out.��


    "very good."


    ??Luo An put back the messy thoughts in his mind and turned around to walk to the conference room not far away:


    ��Let��s continue to deal with these two serial murder cases.��


    In the conference room, the members of Investigation Team No. 13 sat on both sides of the conference table. Anne Morrie, a professional profiler from the Behavioral Analysis Department, sat opposite Luo An.


    ?Michelle walked to the front with the folder, pointed to the twenty photos on the two large white boards, and said:


    ��Everyone, the murderer of the serial murder case on the left has always been a woman engaged in illegal work...and a man disguised as a woman, so I won��t say more here.


    ??The second serial murder case on the right was shot in the back of the head. Here are all the information on the 8 victims.


    But unfortunately, we still haven��t found the connection or common ground between them. "


    "did not find?"


    Hearing this, Lacey looked at the pile of folders in the center of the table and was very surprised:


    ��So much information, yet you haven��t found it?��


    ?Luo An closed the folder in his hand and said:


    ��I did make a discovery.��

 Chapter 586： Speculations on the identity of the murderer

    Chapter 586 Speculation on the identity of the murderer


    Saturday, 10:30 am, temporarily borrowed office and conference room.


    ��These are the personal information of eight victims in the second serial murder case.��


    ??Luo An stood up and left his chair, motioning for everyone to distribute and check the information in a pile of folders in the center of the table. He took the whiteboard pen from Michelle and introduced:


    ��James, male, 30 years old, according to the investigation, he worked in a chemical factory during his lifetime.


    Then there is Mandy, female, 26 years old, who was the manager of a store during her lifetime.


    ? Jerome, male, 18 years old, dropped out of school to work in a watch shop.


    Hazel, female, 40 years old, works in a laundry.


    Hayes, male, 31 years old, is the sales manager of a lawn company.


    Piderou, male, 24 years old, works in a supermarket.


    Emily, female, 22 years old, works as a waitress in a restaurant.


    Lacey was assigned a folder. She looked at the information in her hand and frowned:


    ��This is not a joke, this is an important clue.��


    ��These people include black people, white people, Latinos, men and women, some are in good financial condition, and some have unpaid debts����


    ? ?The data of the length, width and height of the pits where they were buried between the victims who are not very different in stature are very small, and they can almost be said to be exactly the same..."


    ��No, the murderer actually left us a lot of clues.��


    ������xN


    ?All the detectives present were full of black marks, and Lacey complained:


    ��Your joke seems a bit cold, Luo An.��


    ��So, you��re saying we need to turn our attention to the murderer?��


    ??But the problem is that these eight victims are of different races, skin colors, and social statuses. Some are immigrants and some are not immigrants. There is no useful connection between them at all. "


    ??Tapped the whiteboard behind him with a pen, Luo An looked serious and asked:


    ��Everyone, let��s assume that the murderer behind this case not only has the means of transportation to transport the victim, but also has the strength to dig a hole. He will also make the victim kneel in front of the hole he dug, shoot him from behind, and shoot him in a kind of way. Killing the victim in an execution-like gesture.


    ��But, we have no clues, where can we investigate the murderer?��


    ?Remembering what Luo An said last night and just now, Mona took a brief look at it, put down the folder, and asked:


    Luo An put away the smile on his face and said seriously:


    ��Everyone, since we came into contact with this case, we have been focusing on the victims, trying to find the same characteristics or characteristics in them, so as to find out or infer the murderer��s habits or goals.


    ��Luo An, you just said you found something, what did you find?��


    ��What I found was that there was nothing obvious in common between the eight victims.��


    Evren, male, 37 years old, is a coach of a basketball club. "


    ? Luo An shook his head and found photos of the scene when the eight victims were dug out of the soil, as well as the autopsy reports of the eight victims, and said:


    ��First, the autopsy report issued by the trace examination department showed that the cause of death of these eight victims was that someone shot them in the back of the head.


    Chenelle raised her eyebrows, understood what Luo An said, and said:


    ??Everyone looked up and looked at Luo An. Luo An laughed and said:


    ��It seems that they really have nothing in common. They have never even been to the same place during their lifetime, and their deposits are not in the same bank.��


    Second, the pits where the victims were buried were all in a standard rectangular shape, 1.8 meters long, 1 meter wide, and between 1.2 meters and 1.5 meters deep.


    Luo An nodded, and Lacey was a little confused when she saw this:


    ?This kind of murderer, who do you think he is? "


    After Luo An finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the conference room changed suddenly, and they all expressed their guesses:


    ��Killer!��


    ��Scavenger!��


    ��The executioner!��


    ��The executioner who thinks he is righteous!��


    ��Psychosis!��


    ������xN


    Hearing the last word, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Lacey who said the word.


    Lacie raised her eyebrows:


    ��I feel like what I said is right.��


    ��The possibility of mental illness cannot be ruled out.��


    Luo An coughed lightly, attracting everyone''s attention, and then said: "At the beginning, my speculations mainly went in four directions:


    First, the murderer is a scavenger who specializes in handling things for others.


    Second, the murderer is a killer, and the eight victims were all orders he received.


    Third, the murderer was a self-righteous guy. He saw certain behaviors among the eight victims and felt that they violated justice or religious regulations, so he killed them on behalf of "justice" or "God". "


    All the detectives on both sides of the conference table nodded in unison, agreeing with Luo An��s conjecture. Chenelle asked:


    ��What is the fourth conjecture?��


    ��The fourth conjecture is a bit special. I only thought of it last night.��


    Luo An picked up the whiteboard pen and wrote a few words on the whiteboard, then turned around and asked:


    ��Everyone should know about ��Brotherhood��.��


    Brotherhood, a special culture of the Federation, is a form of association that organizes gatherings.


    Fraternities on university campuses have become the main place for students to expand their networks and find opportunities for jobs after graduation.


    However, new members who want to join the fraternity are generally required to "show their loyalty" by completing very difficult tasks, such as doing push-ups on broken glass, to prove their determination.


    ??This serial murder case will most likely not be the work of a "fraternity" on a university campus.


    ??But when they heard Luo An mention the word "Brotherhood", everyone present suddenly thought of something. Chenier''s face first changed and she said:


    "Luo An, you mean that these eight victims may be a "loyalty show" part of an organization when it requires new people to join?"


    ��Kill someone to show your loyalty?��


    Winslow also changed his expression and guessed:


    ��Something that gangsters do?��


    ��It may also be some other criminal organizations with extreme ideas.��


    ?Luo An put down the whiteboard marker, crossed his arms across his chest, and said:


    ��The main problem is that there is no connection between the eight victims, and there is no information in the data that they have offended someone.


    In addition, among the eight victims, except for the sales manager who worked for a lawn company and had some money, the income of the rest was not high.


    ?Especially the 18-year-old boy who works in a watch shop. He depends entirely on the owner of the watch shop for food and drink, and his pockets are cleaner than his face.


    So the chance that the murderer is a scavenger or a killer is not high. They may not make much money by killing these eight victims. "


    ��That��s right.��


    ��That��s the truth.��


    ?All the detectives nodded when they heard this. Luo An''s speculation and analysis were sound and well-founded, and they found no problems.


    Chenelle briefly summarized Luo An��s speculation, and then asked:


    ��Team leader, what should we do next?��


    ��Continue to investigate and organize information.��


    Luo An said in a deep voice:


    "If the murderer is an executioner who thinks he represents justice, then he must have chosen to kill because he couldn''t stand some of the behaviors of the eight victims. So next we need to find out the behavioral habits of the eight victims during their lifetime. and experience.


    ?In addition, if the murderer is a gang, a member of a radical organization, or some people, then this organization cannot be nameless, and they must recruit members.


    As long as they recruit members, they will definitely leave clues. These are what we need to look for. "


    "Um��"


    After hearing what Luo An said, all the detectives present scratched their heads. Lacey looked embarrassed and said:


    ��Luo An, although it is a little troublesome to investigate the life experiences of the eight victims, it is not particularly difficult.


    ??But when it comes to investigating the organization��s recruitment of members... we don��t seem to have a direction at all. "


    ?This kind of criminal organization must be very hidden. Without information about the organization and no one to recommend it, investigators would be blind and have no idea which direction to go.


    ? Luo An nodded. Of course he knew the difficulties involved, but he was already prepared.


    Taking out a familiar card the size of a dark red phone card from his pocket, Luo An grinned:


    ��The federal land is so large that it has nurtured many talented people.


    ?Now that we are encountering difficulties, it is time for them to cooperate with our FBI''s work. "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 587： Luo An: The suggestion is very good. Don’t suggest it next time.

    Chapter 587 Luo An: The suggestion is very good, don��t suggest it next time


    ??The dark red metal card that Luo An took out was the identity certificate he obtained after catching the taxi driver who sneaked into Luo An''s villa and tried to find the cross.


    Lacey''s eyes lit up when she saw the dark red metal card, and Mona sat upright, refreshed, and asked with a smile:


    ��Luo An, do you plan to use that criminal website in the underground world to look for clues?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An nodded with a smile, handed a notebook to Mona, and said:


    ��Not just this website, I also borrowed several identities from the Intelligence Department for the criminal websites we met earlier.��


    "Wow."


    Mona took the notebook and sighed, looked down at it a few times, and said with some surprise:


    ��Eight criminal websites? Why so many?��


    ��The Internet is developing at a rapid pace, and the underground world naturally has talents with long-term vision. The Intelligence Department has been dealing with these things, and eight criminal websites are not many.��


    ??Luo An smiled. This morning he called the Intelligence Department to ask for help. He thought that if it was not possible, he would ask Veranith to come forward. Unexpectedly, the Intelligence Department heard his name and agreed without saying a word.


    Not only did the Intelligence Department directly hand over all eight criminal websites on hand to Luo An, each website even prepared three or four accounts for Luo An to disguise their identities.


    ??Getting help from the Intelligence Department was a good thing, but the fact that the crime detection rate was publicized behind the scenes, coupled with the previous phone call from Veranith, gave Luoan a smell that something was wrong.


    Hearing Luo An��s question, the detectives immediately turned their attention to the first serial murder case and rummaged through the documents in their hands for a moment. Winslow stood up first and said:


    "During the investigation, we found that among the 12 victims in the first serial murder case, the first victim died in 1992, which was too early to find relevant information. The second, third, fourth and fifth victims were Due to similar circumstances, relevant information is scarce and difficult to investigate.


    ??Lacie cursed in a low voice, and Anne Murray, a profiler from the behavioral analysis department next to her, nodded and said in a deep voice:


    ��This is an obvious act of provocation. On the one hand, it shows that the pleasure brought to the murderer by killing others has gradually decreased, and the murderer has begun to seek more pleasure from relatives or friends of the victim.


    ��A very arrogant guy.��


    Putting these things aside for the time being, Luo An briefly mentioned some precautions. Mona then took the computer and notebook, pulled Michelle out of the conference room, and began to enter those websites to post and conduct research.


    The contents of the phone calls were roughly the same. The murderer claimed that he had raped and killed the victim. The murderer even described his feelings, which caused the victim''s relatives or friends to curse. "


    ��I found some, but not many.��


    ?So Luoan called Verinis later and communicated briefly for a while. Verinis immediately agreed and was ready to deal with this matter.


    The two women left the conference room. Luo An then looked at the other agents who were left behind and asked:


    Luo An was very surprised when he got this information. After asking, he learned that the Intelligence Department also heard about the investigation team led by Luo An, which had a 100% detection rate.


    Except for these five victims, after the death of the next seven victims, one of their family members or friends all received calls from someone using the victim''s mobile phone.


    ��According to the investigation, the murderer used the victim��s mobile phone when making calls.


    ��Important clues were discovered.��


    On the other hand, it also shows that the murderer is very confident in his own safety. He believes that he has eliminated clues related to himself and firmly believes that law enforcement officials cannot find him. "


    ��Everyone, how are you doing with the investigation of the first serial murder case, which is a case against a graphic worker?��


    ?? After briefly expressing his gratitude to the Intelligence Department, Luo An''s expression turned cold after hanging up the phone.


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and then asked:


    ��Have you found any clues on the mobile phone?��


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??This time knowing that Luo An needed help, the Intelligence Department was naturally willing to go along with the situation and send him a favor.


    ?Winslow handed a folder to Roan and explained:


    Based on the location where the signal was transmitted, we found a total of three base stations, and we can determine that the murderer was in a park on Long Island when he made the call.


    But there was no useful information later, because there was no surveillance in that park, and the flow of people was still very large. There were so many men who matched the simulated portraits created by Anne��s profiler that it was impossible to investigate them all. "


    Luo An looked at the information in the folder and pondered for a while, then asked: "Have you checked the call records of these seven victims'' mobile phones? Are there any suspicious disposable phones or anonymous calls?"


    ��I��ve checked it, but it��s not found.��


    Winslow shook his head and said:


    ��I suspect that this murderer used the most old-fashioned method, which is to randomly find women who are engaged in illegal work on the street, and then use money to trick them into following him.��


    ��This is very troublesome.��


    Lacie frowned when she heard this and said:


    ��New York is as big as New York, and there are probably hundreds of thousands of women working in the field.


    Excluding those who are organized, have gang leaders, and those who work alone on the streets, the number is probably over 10,000.


    ??If the murderer really used the old method of driving on the streets to randomly look for people, based on his murder frequency of once a year, we might not be able to find him at all. "


    Roan folded his hands on his chest and remained silent. Chenelle thought for a while and asked:


    ��What if we use the stupid method and ask the women one by one?��


    "Totally impossible."


    Lacie shook her head repeatedly and introduced:


    ��You don��t understand this business, there is a lot of traffic in this business.


    If a woman is willing to work hard, it is not a problem to receive more than a dozen guests in one night. After all, most men are very fast.


    ?In addition, the turnover of people in this industry is far beyond your imagination.


    ?In addition to those regular workers, there are also many women who work temporarily for a few days due to lack of money. After all, this industry does not require any accumulation of skills.


    ?There are also women who stay in one place for a few days and then go to work elsewhere because they are threatened or worried about being seen by acquaintances.


    ?These circumstances combined make it difficult to find all women.


    Even if they find it, they have been in contact with so many men, and they will most likely not be able to remember the appearance of a specific man. At most, they have some impression of the time and duration of a certain man. "


    ������xN


    Listening to Lacey��s serious science popularization and explanation, Chenelle and Anne-Mo��s heads were full of black lines.


    Winslow looked at Lacey with a slightly unkind look. He felt that Lacey''s statement about time just now seemed to have insulted him.


    Luo An, who was also a man present, glanced at Lacey calmly, tapped her head lightly with the folder, and then asked:


    ��Do you have any suggestions on how we should investigate next?��


    Lacie patted the folder on her head, waggled her fingers and said:


    ��The murderer was very cautious and never used a mobile phone to contact these victims, so the mobile phone method was not feasible.


    If we go directly to the streets and ask questions, we may not be able to find any clues even if we search for a year.


    So... how about we hand this case over to other investigation teams. "


    ?Luo An took back the folder, nodded, and said:


    ��Your suggestion is very good, don��t suggest it next time.��


    Lacie: ������


    ??Looking at Lacey who rolled her eyes at Roan, Chenelle frowned:


    ��Both roads are blocked, team leader, what should we do next?��


    "I have an idea."


    ?? Luo An pondered for a while, and just as he was about to speak, the door to the conference room suddenly opened, and Mona walked in with a laptop and said excitedly:


    ��Hey guys, Michelle and I found an interesting post!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 588： hell joke

    Chapter 588 Hell��s Joke


    Saturday, 11:30 noon, temporarily borrowed office and conference room.


    Mona opened the door and walked into the conference room, attracting the attention of everyone in the room. Lacey raised her eyebrows:


    ��Interesting post?��


    ��Mainly some **** jokes.��


    ?Mona placed the laptop on the conference table and showed it to everyone, and introduced:


    ��For example, why do people in the Federation use metric units without millimeters in their daily lives?


    Because you can find millimeters in schools. "


    ����


    The expressions on the faces of the agents were a little tense. Luo An coughed lightly and asked:


    ��What else but a **** joke?��


    ��There are also ��recruitment advertisements��.��


    Looking at the content of the post on the computer, everyone present looked ugly. Winslow frowned:


    ��This kind of thing����


    ?Mona looked gloomy and said:


    ��The owner of this post stated that he has been recruiting humans who are willing to be killed by others for a long time. The price is US$50,000 per person. To show his sincerity, the poster can pay the person who sells his body first during the transaction when the two parties meet.


    ?For example, human bones are called "white gold", eyeballs are called "glitter", and trafficked women are always called "Amy" before they are taken, no matter what their original names are.


    ?Just like the "gold captain" in the Eastern world, various professions in the Western underground world also have many special representative words.


    ��Not uncommon.��


    ??The origin of this special way of naming can no longer be found, and people in the underground world don''t care about the reason for naming. They only have buying and selling in their minds and hearts.


    ��No, this word means a living person to be slaughtered.��


    ??Mona put away the smile on her face, typed on the keyboard a few times, and said seriously:


    ��That��s right, that��s what it means.��


    ��Meat rabbit? What do you mean? Carnivorous rabbit?��


    ?Hearing Luo An say that "meat rabbit" means a living person, everyone present looked at him with some surprise and shock. Chenier quickly realized something and asked:


    "Since the name "meat rabbit" means "living people to be slaughtered", why is there "recruitment" in front of the post?


    ��Online recruitment of living people who are willing to be killed by others because of money? "


    Then below the **** joke, there is a "recruitment advertisement". The person who posted it has been recruiting "meat rabbits". "


    ?These posts all come from one person, and the content of the post always starts with a **** joke to attract attention.


    Hearing this unfamiliar word, Lacey, Winslow and Chenelle in the conference room looked puzzled. Roan''s face turned cold and he said:


    If you have special status, such as lawyers, doctors, motorcycle stuntmen, racing drivers, or people with special certificates, such as senior lawyer license, senior accountant certificate, etc., you can also increase the price within a reasonable range. "


    ����


    Luo An pondered for a few seconds and asked:


    ��Mona, the owner of this post, which one is related to the two serial murder cases we are investigating?��


    Looking at the computer, there was a bunch of requirements for the height and weight of the "meat rabbit", no infectious diseases, no history of eating flour in the past year, etc., and the air in the conference room was quiet.


    Sell ??your life for money. Some people who have no hope in life and have weaknesses behind them may not do this.


    ?Luo An shook his head. Living in the Federation, having no money in your pocket is basically like walking into hell.


    ��Michelle and I found some posts on the underground crime website No. 3.


    ��The second case was a shooting case in the back of the head.��


    ?Mona tapped the keyboard a few times, brought up another black-based page, and explained:


    ��Just now, Michelle discovered a guy with the same avatar as the owner of the post on Underground World Website No. 3 on Underground World Website No. 5.


    ? We compared the two guys on website No. 3 and website No. 5 and found that they were the same person. �� ? ? Cheniel looked serious:


    ��On the No. 5 website, this guy is also advertising, recruiting ��meat rabbits?�� ""


    ��Yes.��


    ?Mona nodded, then scrolled down the computer page and said:


    "The difference is that a few months ago, when this guy posted a "recruitment advertisement" on the No. 5 website, in addition to the usual **** jokes, he also included a picture."


    Mona pulled up the "recruitment advertisement" from a few months ago. The agents looked carefully and found that the content in the picture was a large rectangular pit that had been dug. There was a shovel standing next to it, and there was also a shovel on the ground. Binding string.


    ? Ignoring the **** joke, Mona tapped on the keyboard a few times, drew a red line segment next to the shovel, compared the measurements and explained:


    ��The shovel shown in the picture is the most common one on the federal market, with a standard length of 1.3 meters.


    Using it as a weight and measure and comparing it with the pit next to it, you can find that the length of the pit is 1.8 meters, the width is 1 meter, and the depth is 1.5 meters. "


    ��It is exactly the same as the hole dug by the murderer when he executed the victim in the second serial murder case.��


    ??Luo An nodded, then motioned Mona to enlarge the bundle of string next to her, and narrowed her eyes slightly:


    ��Among the eight victims of the second serial murder case, the last three deceased had binding marks on their wrists.


    The thin rope inferred by the Trace Inspection Section is also consistent with the rope in this photo. "


    Chenelle and Winslow both became excited, and Lacey asked hurriedly:


    ��Can you find out the true identity of the owner of this post?��


    ��Of course, but...��


    ?Mona nodded, indicating that she was capable of doing this, but she did not start taking action immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Luo An.


    ?Luo An instantly understood what Mona meant. Mona couldn��t do it under normal circumstances, but she could by hacking into the website.


    ��Wait a minute, I��m going to buy an orange... I��m going to make a phone call.��


    ?Selectively ignoring Mona''s eager eyes, Luo An waved his hand and walked out of the room.


    ??Mona''s actions may have a negative impact on other law enforcement agencies performing tasks, and eventually lead to Mona being punished. In order to prevent this from happening, Luo An decided to contact the Intelligence Department first.


    The phone call was quickly answered. After hearing Luo An''s description, the Intelligence Department immediately said that there was no need to bother. After asking for the name and number of the poster, he said:


    "We will be able to find out this guy''s true identity soon, and we will send it to Team Leader Luo An later!"


    Luo An��s eyes lit up and he smiled:


    ��Thank you then.��


    "You''re welcome. Let''s go have a drink together when we get the chance."


    ��Of course! I��m treating you!��


    After a few brief greetings, both parties hung up the phone together.


    Because of his fame and ability, Luo An felt the "fruit of face" for the first time, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile.


    But many things have advantages and disadvantages. Luo An had a lot of thoughts in his mind. While thinking about future plans and plans, he turned around and returned to the conference room.


    ��The Intelligence Ministry will send us the information about the owner of this post later.��


    In the conference room, Luo An chose to ignore Mona��s disappointed look, clapped his hands and said:


    ��Get ready to sort out your equipment!��


    "no problem!"


    ?All the agents in the conference room responded in unison, simply packed up the documents and started to walk out.


    Half an hour later, Luo An��s computer received an email, which contained a photo of a white man and his identity information:


    ?Innes-Heller, 44 years old, went to prison for intentional injury when he was young. He is unemployed and lives in New Jersey, not far from New York.


    Luo An typed out the information and distributed it to the agents, saying:


    ��Let��s go! Let��s go talk to Mr. Innes about his silly jokes!��


    ��Understood!��xN

 Chapter 589： Suspect: Team Leader Luo An, we help each other

    Chapter 589 Suspect: Team Leader Luo An, let��s help each other


    In northern New Jersey, a city at a certain county level, on a certain road in the south.


    ��What do you call an 80-year-old black man? Answer: Antique farm tools.��


    In a fast-moving SUV, Lacey was sitting in the back seat wearing a body armor, looking at the posts on the computer, with a strange look on her face, and said:


    ��It��s a miracle that Innes Heller is alive today and was not beaten to death by a black man in prison.��


    Winslow, who was next to him, carefully inspected his equipment and replied casually:


    ��Those black people all have a talent for making jokes. Maybe these jokes were told by the black people in prison.��


    Lacey looked away from the computer, glanced at Winslow, and said with a smile:


    ��Your **** joke is not bad either.��


    ???��


    Winslow was stunned for a moment and looked at Lacey with confusion on his face. Lacey smiled and whispered:


    ��Don��t you mean that all the prisons are black people?��


    ����


    Winslow was speechless when he heard this. Chenelle, who was driving, rolled her eyes at Lacey through the rearview mirror. Roan, who was in the passenger seat, shook the gun in his hand and said:


    Lacey in the back seat nodded, quickly put the computer aside and began to sort out the weapons. After Luo An checked the equipment on his body, he reached out and pressed the communicator next to his ear and asked:


    ��What is the condition of the target person?��


    So the action plan formulated by Investigation Team No. 13 is very simple: open the door! Arrests!


    ?Hearing the voice of the FBI, Innis-Heller had no idea of ??resisting with a gun. Instead, he was preparing to clear the computer. When Luo An and others broke in, he was about to unplug the network cable and unplug the wire.


    score


    ��Stop chatting, get to the target location immediately, and pack your equipment quickly!��


    The target person never left the house and stayed at his home. "


    With a loud noise, the front and rear doors of the apartment were shattered at the same time. The SWAT team members rushed into the apartment with weapons in hand and shouted:


    ��Put your hands behind your head!��


    According to the layout of the apartment, the SWAT team and the No. 13 Investigation Team were divided into two teams, each responsible for the front and rear doors. A SWAT team member held a blast shield and went straight to the front door. The SWAT team member behind him held a breaking hammer. After receiving the order, , he immediately hit the apartment door with force!


    score


    ��FBI!��


    ? Mona and Michelle were sitting in the car with several SWAT agents. When they heard Roan��s question, Mona typed on the keyboard a few times and answered:


    ��An hour ago, the target person went out and threw a bag of garbage.


    ??The agents of the No. 13 Investigation Team broke into the apartment and found no one on the first floor. Luo An immediately led people to the second floor.


    ��OK.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction. Previous information showed that Innis-Heller had no experience as a soldier, nor had he participated in military training or military clubs.


    "lay down your weapon!"


    The two cars quickly arrived at the target location. This is a common wooden apartment in the Federation. It has two floors. The whole body is red and orange and the color is very conspicuous. The area is not large. There are two doors on the front and rear lawns. There is also a door in front of the door. A small staircase.


    On the road not far behind the SUV, a dark SWAT personnel carrier followed quickly.


    ��Go upstairs! Go upstairs!��


    ??Luo An kicked down the door of the study room on the second floor. In the room was a middle-aged white man wearing shorts and short sleeves with short hair and a frightened face. He was the target person Innes Heller.


    "do not move!"


    "Raise your hand!"


    Chenelle and Winslow shouted loudly when they saw this. Roan moved even faster and kicked Innis-Heller in the stomach, sending him flying and hitting the wall.


    �ˡ�


    There was a muffled sound, and Innes Heller''s face instantly turned pale. He groaned and collapsed forward to the ground. Chenier and Winslow quickly stepped forward and put guns to his head, while Luo An took out the handcuffs and held him in place. His hands were cuffed tightly together.


    While Luo An and the others held Innis Heller firmly, Mona quickly ran to the desktop computer next to her, tapped the keyboard a few times and let out a long sigh of relief, then gave Luo An and the other three a thumbs up and smiled. road:


    ��Just a little bit close, well done!��


    Luo An stood up, raised his eyebrows, and asked:


    ��Is everything complete?��


    ��Some of it was deleted, but it can be found back.��


    ?Mona motioned to Michelle and Lacey to help deal with the computer case, and explained with a smile:


    ��The operation was successful, everything we were looking for is there.��


    "That''s good."


    ??Luo An breathed a sigh of relief. Innis-Heller had been picked up by Winslow and Chenelle. Luo An patted him on the shoulder and smiled:


    ��I��m sorry, Mr. Innes-Heller, we have arrested you for making racist remarks that violate political correctness.��


    Innes-Heller: "???"


    In 2006, politically correct things had begun to take shape, but there were not many things where the number of BUFFs was used to determine who would be in charge.


    So when Innis-Heller was arrested, his face was full of doubts about Roan''s words.


    ?It wasn��t until he entered the interrogation room and heard Roan and Chenelle starting to ask about the posts on the underground world website that Innis-Heller realized that what he just said was a joke.


    Across the interrogation table, Innis-Heller was handcuffed to a chair, covering his face and remaining silent.


    ??Luo An took a leisurely sip of his coffee, and just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door of the interrogation room, and then Mona walked in with her laptop in her arms.


    ?Putting the laptop on the interrogation table, Mona glanced at Innis-Heller with disdain and introduced:


    ��Team leader, I just found Innes Heller��s account on his computer that he registered on six underground world websites. The content of the posts in them are roughly the same, and they are all related to ��meat rabbits��.


    ?In addition, I also found about 50g of child pornographic content in a secret folder on the hard drive of his desktop computer.


    We caught another t-training fetish. "


    Roan and Cheniel were both a little surprised when they heard this, but before they could speak, Innis-Heller quickly put down his hands and said loudly:


    ��I��m not practicing t addiction!��


    ��Few people will directly admit their addiction to t-training, I understand.��


    Luo An waved his hand and said:


    ��Don��t be in a hurry, Mr. Liantezhi, we have plenty of time, we can talk slowly.��


    ��Damn it, I��m really not a t addict!��


    ?Seeing the disdain flashing in Cheniel and Mona''s eyes, and then hearing Roan''s words, Innis-Heller''s face turned redder.


    Taking a few deep breaths, Innis-Heller suppressed his impatience and said seriously:


    ��Mr. Agent, ladies and gentlemen, I��m really not a fan of t-training.


    What you find on the disk is just merchandise.


    Do you understand the product? I make money from it, but I have no interest in it itself. "


    ? Chenier and Mona��s eyes were still full of disbelief, while Luo An suddenly realized:


    ��In other words, you are just selling children��s **** content and are a disseminator of children��s porn. You are not a **** addict yourself, right?��


    ����


    ?Innis-Heller froze when he heard this. Under federal law, the crime of spreading child **** does not seem to be much lower than practicing the fetish itself.


    ?Innes-Heller hesitated for a few seconds and was about to continue explaining. Roan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, motioned Mona to leave and brought the conversation to the main topic.


    ?? After briefly describing the serial murder case on the beach, Luo An pushed the photo of the pit to the other party with a serious face and asked:


    ��Do you have anything to say?��


    "I��"


    After another long silence, Innis-Heller looked up at Luo An and said:


    ��Mr. Agent, I want to make it clear first that I am just a businessman, and everything I do is just to make money.��


    Luo An chuckled:


    ��That is to say, you know the circumstances behind this serial murder case, right?��


    ��I do know something.��


    ?Innis-Heller nodded, then shook his head and said:


    ��But I can��t say.��


    Chenelle narrowed her eyes slightly:


    ��Are you scared?��


    Chenelle thought that the reason Innis-Heller didn''t say anything was because he was afraid of being retaliated against and killed in prison after entering the prison.


    ��I��m really scared.��


    ?Innis-Heller nodded, readily admitted this, and then added:


    ��In addition, I think Mr. Detective, with your position, you may not be able to investigate the situation behind this matter.


    How about this, I tell you the identities of the buyers who bought the things on my disk, and if you catch them, it will be a great achievement.


    As for me, I will help you arrest people and help you accumulate credit. How about you also help me get an exoneration agreement or a witness agreement to reduce my charges?


    Helping each other benefits everyone. "


    ?After Innis-Heller finished speaking, Cheniel''s face suddenly turned cold.


    ??She didn''t think Luo An would agree to the other party, but she realized that if Innis-Heller didn''t lie, there might be a big problem behind this case.


    Luo An pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and asked:


    ��Mr. Innes, you said you are a businessman, so I have a little problem.


    ?Have you paid taxes on those things you sold? "


    ����

 Chapter 590： Interrogation, buy low, sell high, I am a businessman

    Chapter 590: Interrogation, buy low, sell high, I am a businessman


    Saturday, 5:30 pm, temporarily borrowed office, interrogation room.


    ��Have you paid taxes?��


    Hearing Roan��s question, Chenier��s eyes looked a little strange. Innis-Heller was stunned for a moment, then his eyelids twitched, and he didn��t know what to say:


    "I��"


    ? Luo An made a surprised expression:


    ��Then it��s not paid.��


    ?Innis-Heller''s throat was dry and his face was twitching. Luo An leaned back, crossed his legs, and said with a smile:


    ��Mr. Innes, you don��t want your tax evasion to be known to the IRS.��


    ������x2


    The meaning of the word IRS is known to everyone present.


    ?Compared to being caught by the FBI and finally thrown into jail by a judge to play soap.


    ? Once you are targeted by the IRS for tax evasion, it means that your life will come to an end.


    ?Innis-Heller looked grim:


    ��Are you sure you want to know? Or, are you sure you have the right to investigate?��


    ?Innis-Heller''s face changed slightly:


    Innes-Heller shook his head:


    "No."


    ?Innis-Heller''s face became stiffer, while Luo An grinned.


    ?Luo An continued to ask:


    Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Cheniel''s eyes, but Luo An''s expression did not change, and he asked the other party a few questions:


    ?In a free and democratic country like the Federation, bankruptcy is the most terrifying thing, because it means life is worse than death!


    ?Luo An then asked:


    After Luo An''s threatening words came to an end, Chenelle looked at him with a strange expression. She always felt that something was wrong with that sentence.


    "��No."


    ??Except for the absolute top figures in the federal political arena, the relatively closed circles of large chaebols, large conglomerates, and the military, Mr. Clement, who is behind Luo An, has a way to show up even if he meets some figures like those on Capitol Hill.


    ��This matter has anything to do with the Federal President?��


    ?Because there is still a way to survive after entering prison, but being targeted by the IRS means that bankruptcy is not far away.


    Since he discovered that the Intelligence Ministry was willing to sell his favors, Luo An has carefully thought about his current status, value, etc.


    ?Innis-Heller''s face turned completely dark. He hesitated for a long time, took a few deep breaths, looked up at Luo An, and asked:


    "What do you want to know?"


    Then Luo An suddenly discovered that the investigation team he led had a 100% detection rate and was backed by Mr. Veranis and Mr. Clement. In the eyes of many people within the FBI and other departments at the same level, he had actually become A guy who is hot, capable, and not easy to mess with.


    "��No."


    ��Where is the army?��


    ?Mr. Clement then used the political wisdom, ability, connections, etc. he had accumulated over the years to obtain sufficient benefits for him and Luo An through some exchanges of interests.


    ��And those big financial groups?��


    ? Luo An picked up the coffee and took a sip:


    ��The case of serial murders with gunshot wounds to the back of the head on the beach.��


    ?At this stage, the main thing that hinders Luo An is that he is too young, making it impossible for him to continue to move up in the short term.


    Think about it from another angle. During this period, Luo An also happened to be accumulating qualifications for himself.


    When Mr. Clement succeeds in moving up, Luo An��s qualifications will be almost accumulated, and he will be able to take a big step forward.


    After asking Nice Heller a few questions and successfully eliminating a few of the answers he least wanted, Luo An chuckled, spread his hands forward, and said:


    ��Please start your performance.��


    ����


    ?Innis-Heller suddenly choked up. Seeing Luo An looking at him with a relaxed face, he also felt angry in his heart. He snorted coldly and said:


    ��First of all, the first thing is that not all of the corpses on the beach are found. New York State, New Jersey, and several nearby states all have similar corpse dumps.��


    Hearing Innis-Heller''s words, Chenelle''s face was extremely solemn. A flash of thoughtfulness flashed in Luo An''s eyes, and his expression remained unchanged as he asked:


    ��So, this is an organization?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ��What is the name of this organization?��


    ?Innis-Heller leaned back in his chair and said:


    "I have no idea."


    Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!


    Chenelle knocked on the table with her pen and said unhappily:


    ��You know this organization, but you don��t know its name? Is this lie a little too false?��


    Luo An didn��t say anything, and Innis-Heller said calmly: ��I��m not lying to you, I really don��t know.


    I am just a peripheral peripheral, or in other words, not even a peripheral, at best a "meat rabbit" supplier. "


    ?Innes-Heller said he came into contact with the organization by accident five years ago.


    ?Learning from an outside member of the organization that they were willing to spend US$200,000 to purchase a "high-quality meat rabbit," Innis-Heller became an outside supplier of "meat rabbits."


    ��Each person in the ridiculous post was priced at $50,000.��


    Chenelle sneered:


    ��200,000 to 50,000, you are really black.��


    ��I said, I am a businessman.��


    ?Innes-Heller looked unconcerned, even a little proud:


    ��Buying low and selling high is a normal method, otherwise how would a businessman make money.��


    ??Waving his hands to interrupt the conversation between the two, Luo An leaned forward slightly and asked in a solemn voice:


    "Do you know the purpose of this unknown organization''s acquisition of "meat rabbits"?"


    ��I don��t know, human trafficking, organ trading, biological experiments, and killing people for fun are all possible.��


    ?Innis-Heller shook his head, made a few guesses, and then said:


    ��I only care about making money and never asked about this.


    ?However, during one transaction, I casually asked the person I was dealing with how to join the organization.


    ?The other party told me that it was very simple, as long as they shot and killed a person under their witness. "


    ����


    ?After Innis-Heller finished speaking, the air in the interrogation room fell silent.


    Chenelle was angry and shocked in her heart, but at the same time she admired Luo An beside her because his words successfully verified Luo An''s previous conjecture of "showing loyalty".


    ??Luo An didn''t care about Cheniel''s eyes. He frowned and thought for a moment, then asked:


    ��How do you do business with an organization every time? Do you have the other party��s contact information?��


    ��I only have a burner phone.��


    Innes-Heller said that every time he buys a suitable "meat rabbit", he will use a disposable mobile phone to call another disposable mobile phone. The two parties agree on the time and place of the transaction, and then pay the money with one hand and the other with the other hand. goods.


    ?At the transaction site, the organizer will take away the burner phone from Innes-Heller, give him a new burner phone, and give him a new number. The phone with the new number is also a burner phone.


    As for the disposable mobile phones used previously, they will be physically destroyed by the organization''s people on the spot and then burned with fire.


    ?This means that for each transaction, both parties use brand-new disposable mobile phones. They exchange one for each transaction and save it for the next transaction.


    Speaking of this, Innis-Heller complained with an unhappy face:


    ��The person I interact with is more greedy for money than me!


    ? Every time he gave me a new burner phone, he charged me $300.


    **** it! $300 is enough for me to buy several burner phones out there..."


    ? Ignoring Innis-Heller''s complaints about dog-eating dogs, after listening to his narration, Chenelle gritted her back molars and was very angry, and at the same time a little surprised.


    The methods used in organizing transactions are so cautious, and the masterminds behind the control of the organization are definitely extraordinary.


    ?Luo An was also aware of this problem, but he was not panicked or anxious at all.


    Because most of the time, the design of the top people is very good, but the people below who implement it cannot achieve the expected ideas in the design.


    ?For example, Innis-Heller just complained that the person he was dealing with obviously used the disposable cell phone required by the organization to take the opportunity to extort money from Innis-Heller.


    ?The leader of the organization who is willing to spend 200,000 US dollars to buy "meat rabbits" cannot care about the 300 US dollars, nor can he issue such an order. This is most likely a small idea of ??traders seeking their own interests.


    The small actions of these low-level people are an opportunity to find out this criminal organization.


    Then he asked some organizational questions. Luo An suddenly changed the topic and said:


    ��Those buyers who have purchased the children��s **** content on your computer, please write down a list.��


    ???��


    ? Chenier was stunned for a moment, and Innis-Heller''s face turned dark when he reacted.


    ? Luo An grinned. There was no reason not to eat the meat that reached the mouth. Anyway, they were all a group of people practicing t-stirring. Catching them would be good for the children.


    ??Amid Innis-Heller''s whispered curses, Chenelle walked out of the interrogation room with the interrogation record and list, and Roan followed slowly with a coffee cup.


    Upon seeing this, Lacey and others immediately came together to check for clues.


    After reading the interrogation record, Lacey, Winslow and others cursed, and Mona asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ��It��s very simple, call and ask for the officer.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 591： Order to suspend investigation

    Chapter 591 Order to suspend investigation


    ��That��s the way it is.��


    ??In the temporarily borrowed office, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room, Luo An looked at the scenery outside and briefly reviewed the interrogation records on his mobile phone.


    ??Luo An finished his brief description. Veranith on the other end of the phone did not speak, and there was only shallow breathing on the phone.


    As time passed, Luo An��s expression gradually became serious and he asked:


    ��Sir, this case...��


    ��You should suspend the arrest of people in this case.��


    Before Luo An finished speaking, Veranith interrupted him and repeated in a serious tone:


    ��You should pause your action first.��


    ��Sir.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said:


    ��I need a reason.��


    ?Every time the president delivers a national speech, he does not say "the law protects the Union," but "God bless the Union."


    When Mr. Clement comes back, I will report the case and then we will continue working on the case. "


    After all, the soul of a person who commits suicide is destined to hell.


    There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then there was a sound of deep breathing, and Veranith said in a deep voice:


    The content of the information is not complicated. It is also an unsolved serial murder case and the investigation records of the case.


    ??The true circumstances of this serial murder case have been almost fully investigated. It is only because the things behind it are a bit complicated that the FBI recorded it in the file this way.


    It would be better to wait for Mr. Clement to come back and let him coordinate the affairs behind the scenes, and then Veranith and Roan will handle the case.


    ?Christianity is an important part of the history and culture of the Commonwealth. Since the American continent was discovered by Europeans, Christianity has become an inseparable part of the social and political life of the Commonwealth.


    ??The reason why the matter is complicated is simple. The main reason is that the case involves the truly largest organization in the federation:


    Church!


    ??The meaning of Veranith''s words is very simple. They are capable of handling this case, but with only her and Luo An, the things behind it will be very troublesome.


    ??In the information Veranith sent to Luo An, the murderers behind the "undetected" serial murder case were some pastors in the church.


    Many people say that the Federation is a country governed by the rule of law, but when every president announces his inauguration, what is pressed under his right hand is not a constitutional document, but a thick Bible.


    They use some doctrines to brainwash certain people and coax them to "dedicate themselves". They not only deceive girls and boys into having sex, but also deceive adults into devoting their lives and letting others kill them so that their souls can go to heaven.


    ?Christianity��s influence on the federation is everywhere, ranging from people��s daily lives to presidential campaigns. The church has quietly played a huge role.


    ??After receiving Veranith''s assurance, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief. After a brief communication, the phone was hung up. Luo An walked to his computer and began to check the information Veranith sent him.


    ? And those "others" are naturally those who want to taste the taste of killing, but usually dare not due to laws and other reasons.


    ?The reason why you suspended the investigation is not what you think, but that Mr. Clement is away these days and the White House needs him.


    The so-called "undetected" is actually just a lie.


    ��I understand, sir.��


    ��After listening to your introduction just now, I remembered a case. I will send you the information about that case later.


    In the ��unsolved�� serial murder case, some pastors in the church received money from both ends:


    On the one hand, priests coax believers who are "willing to sacrifice their souls" and let them be killed while also asking them to "donate" their lifetime wealth to the church, that is, the priest.


    On the other hand, these pastors also collect money from people who want to taste the taste of killing. Although you are helping believers "go to heaven", it is still killing after all. Such "voluntary killing" resources are not easy to find. , so you need to pay, you have to add money.


    ?This case occurred fourteen years ago. Although the case records showed that it was "unsolved," shortly after the actual case was exposed, the FBI and the church had jointly arrested a large number of pastors involved in the case in order to cover up the scandal. However, because the actions should not be publicized and the scale was small, they could not act at the same time. In the end, some fish slipped through the net.


    The incident happened so long ago that Veranith had not thought of it before.


    After hearing what Luo An said, she remembered this incident and speculated that the person behind the serial murder case of Beach being shot in the back of the head was some of the people who slipped through the cracks of this case that year.


    ?However, considering the complicated situation and attitude of the church, Veranith decided to wait for Mr. Clement to come back and let him communicate with the church before arresting people.


    After reading the information on the computer, Luo An pondered for a few seconds, then used the printer to print it into a document without expression, then walked out of the office and said loudly:


    ��Everyone, the action on this case is suspended.��


    ��What?!��


    "What did you say?"


    Hearing this, Mona, Lacey and Winslow were shocked. Chenelle''s expression changed. Michelle thought of something and asked hurriedly:


    ��Is anyone trying to suppress this case?��


    ? Michelle used to work at the FBI headquarters in Washington, and she had seen many similar things.


    "no."


    ?Handed the folder to Lacey, Lacey quickly reached for it and checked it. Winslow and Mona hurriedly squeezed to Lacey''s side. Roan shook his head and said:


    ��It��s not that the investigation of the case is completely stopped, it��s just that the action is suspended.��


    After reading the information in the folder, Mona''s eyes flashed with disdain, Lacey sneered, and Winslow cursed under his breath.


    ??Snatching the document and looking at it, Cheniel and Michelle looked stunned. Mona next to them thought of what Luo An just said and asked:


    ��So, we won��t deal with this serial murder case anymore?��


    ??Before Luo An called Veranith, the original plan made by the agents of Investigation Team 13 was to use Innis-Heller''s disposable cell phone to contact the trading personnel of the "organization".


    They set up an ambush and arrested them, and brought the traders of the "organization" back for interrogation. Finally, they followed the clues and went straight to Huanglong. They killed all the guys in the "organization" and found out the purpose and truth behind their purchase of so many "meat rabbits" and sent the masterminds behind the scenes to justice. go to jail.


    ?Hearing Mona''s question, Winslow and Lacey both looked up at Roan. Michelle and Chenelle also looked away from the folder and turned to Roan, wanting to hear what he had to say.


    Seeing everyone''s gaze, Luo An shook his head, grinned, and said:


    ��Everyone, I just said the arrest operation was suspended, but I didn��t say the investigation was suspended.��


    Arresting people means arresting people, and investigation means investigating. These are two different things.


    Their No. 13 Investigation Team has so far obtained many useful clues from Innes Heller and the documents sent by Veranith, such as the appearance, height, and vehicle specifications of the "organization" trading personnel. Style etc.


    Since the arrest operation has been suspended, use these clues, plus those criminal websites in the underground world, to continue investigating the situation in the "organization".


    ??Investigation Team No. 13 no longer follows the original arrest plan of following the clues, but is trying to find out the information of the members of the "organization", the living conditions of the branches, etc., and finally catch them all!


    After hearing Luo An��s words, Winslow and Lacey raised the corners of their mouths and their eyes lit up:


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    ??The dull atmosphere in the office area was swept away. Everyone briefly communicated the existing information and immediately began to assign the work that they needed to handle later.


    At this moment, Michelle suddenly remembered something and said:


    ��Luo An, the Trace Inspection Department called you just now.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 592： The findings of the Trace Inspection Department

    Chapter 592: Discovery of the Trace Inspection Department


    ��Trace Inspection Department?��


    In the office area, Michelle told the news, and Lacey next to her immediately came up and asked:


    ��Luo An, what are you doing with them again?��


    ��Of course I��m asking them for help.��


    Luo An replied casually, walked to the side, picked up his coat and put it on himself. Looking at the puzzled eyes of the detectives, he explained with a smile:


    ��Do you remember the first serial murder case against street workers?��


    "certainly!"


    ?All the agents nodded, and Chenelle said:


    ��We can��t find any clues on mobile phones, and it��s impossible to go to the streets to ask those workers, so our investigation has been stuck.��


    When Chenier said this, Mona��s eyes lit up and she asked:


    ��Luo An, have you thought of any clues?��


    ��I can��t think of any clues.��


    The content of the chat was not long. Luo An hoped that the Coward forensic doctor would change the order of the autopsy and put the autopsy of the second serial murder case of being shot in the back of the head at the back, and deal with the death of the first prostitute first, and the serial murder case. of the victim''s body.


    Third, the financial situation is good and there is a second means of transportation.


    ��Everyone, in the first serial murder case, there were a total of 12 female corpses involved in criminal work.


    ?Except for the first 5 victims, who had turned into bones due to their long death time, and not many items were left. Although the bodies of the remaining 7 victims were severely decomposed, they still had a lot of things left behind. "


    ��That��s right.��


    After Luan finished narrating, Mona and Chenelle gave him a thumbs up. At the same time, Lacey, Winslow and Michelle all said that they also wanted to go to the trace examination department with Luan.


    ?Luo An shook his head and explained:


    ��But my thoughts are the same as the second serial murder case.


    Since we cannot find useful clues from the life experiences of the 12 victims, it is better to turn our attention to the murderer himself. "


    Lacie frowned, clasped her fingers and said:


    ��First, a white male, currently around 40-55 years old.


    ��No, that��s not what Luo An said.��


    ��But we have already found someone to profile the murderer himself.��


    Previously in the conference room, several investigation paths for the first serial murder case were blocked. When the detectives were unable to do anything, Luo An focused on the body of the victim.


    ??Luo An gave Mona a "you understand me" look, coughed lightly, and explained seriously:


    Second, be married or have a girlfriend and have received a higher education.


    ?These profiling information can help us verify or exclude suspects during the investigation process, but now our investigation has been stuck and we can''t find any suspects at all. "


    ��We��ll go with you.��


    Fourth, psychological or emotional repression��


    ?Looking at Luo An��s face and the specialty coffee beans in his hand, Forensic Doctor Coward agreed without much hesitation.


    Chenelle��s eyes next to her moved slightly, and Mona quickly remembered something. She shook her head towards Lacey, then looked at Roan and asked:


    ��You think there may be messages left by the murderer on the bodies of the victims, right?��


    Later, Mona and Michelle discovered the post on the Underground World website. Before everyone went to New Jersey to arrest Innes Heller, Luo An took the time to go to the trace examination department and had a brief chat with Coward''s forensic doctor.


    ?However, Roan refused everyone''s request to go together. After all, the work at hand was not finished yet, so he only took Lacey and Chenelle into the elevator.


    ��Good evening, Mr. Coward.��


    ��Good evening, Team Leader Luo An.��


    ?Luo An and Coward''s forensic doctor shook hands and exchanged a few simple greetings. The two quickly turned to the topic.


    Forensic doctor Kovard brought Luo An and the others into the evidence office. He took out three transparent evidence bags from a large cardboard box and introduced:


    ��These are the clues we found on the bodies of the victims of the shape workers.��


    Chenelle took the transparent evidence bag and found a few small hairs inside. Lacey next to her immediately became energetic when she saw this scene and asked hurriedly:


    "Mr. Coward, are these the murderer''s hairs?" "I''m not sure, but most likely not."


    Forensic doctor Kovard shook his head and waved to call a white man in a white coat with black-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose who looked about thirty years old and introduced:


    ��This is my student, Agent Javier, who is in charge of DNA testing and other aspects of the Trace Inspection Section. You can ask him about these matters.��


    After the introduction, Forensic Doctor Coward left early because he had something to do. Roan reached out and shook hands with Agent Javier and asked:


    ��What��s going on with all these hairs?��


    ��They were found on the bodies.��


    ??Agent Harville adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and explained with a smile:


    ��There was no human white genetic material detected in the corpses of the victims of the shape workers, only the dimethicone found in contraceptives.


    There were no skin fragments or flesh from other people in their fingernails. We only found a few hairs that did not belong to them on the four victims who died the shortest time ago. "


    Luo An nodded and then asked:


    ��Have you had a DNA test done?��


    ��It��s been done.��


    ?? Agent Harwell nodded, and when he saw Lacey and Chenelle��s expectant eyes, he showed a helpless smile, took out several test reports from behind and handed them to Luo An and the others, and said:


    ��We found a total of nine hairs, three of which came from a woman.


    We found out her identity. She was an old woman who worked in a community activity center and was closely related to the deceased. She passed away from liver cancer 5 months ago. "


    Looking at the report in his hand, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, Chenelle frowned, and Lacey was silent for a few seconds, then raised her head and asked:


    ��Where are the 6 hairs at the back?��


    ��The remaining 6 hairs belong to two parties, but they are not human.��


    Agent Harwell spread his hands and said:


    ��Two of the hairs came from dogs. Our FBI internal database has never recorded dog DNA, so we couldn��t find it at all.


    ?The other four hairs are not real hairs at all. They are all wigs on the head of a certain doll. "


    After Agent Harwell��s introduction was completed, Lacey was a little shocked and pondered for a few seconds before saying:


    ��This is really...a surprising discovery.��


    ��Indeed, I didn��t expect that either.��


    ??Agent Harwell looked at Lacey''s face and nodded with a smile. Roan put down the document in his hand and asked:


    ��Are there any other discoveries?��


    ��There are several other discoveries, but they may not be related to the killer or this serial killing case.��


    ??Agent Harwell found several other folders, handed them to Luo An, and said:


    ��According to inspection, several of the female victims had the experience of snorting flour before their death...��


    Half an hour later, Luo An and Chenille walked into the elevator together. Looking at the flashing numbers, Chenelle said:


    ��This suspect is indeed a very cautious guy, but no clues about him were found.��


    "uncertain."


    Luo An put his chin on his hand and shook his head, pondered for a few seconds, and said:


    ��Go back and investigate the deceased old woman to see if there are any clues around her.


    In addition, there is that doll. Let��s go back and find a way to investigate its production company, transportation company, doll sales channel and buyer and other information. "


    "this��"


    ? Chenier looked embarrassed and had no good solution at the moment, so she agreed after thinking about it for a while.


    Not long after the two returned to the office area, Lacey Chen walked into the room with such an expression on her face. Several people in the office area suddenly looked puzzled. This was the first time they had seen Lacey look so ugly.


    ��Lacie, what happened?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 593： "Organization" situation and information

    Chapter 593 ��Organization�� situation and information


    ��Lacie, what��s wrong with you?��


    ?Seeing that Lacey''s expression was not right, Luo An frowned slightly and asked her about her situation.


    ����a small thing, I��m fine.��


    ??Lacie replied casually and sat back down. After hearing this, Luo An no longer asked in detail, but gave Mona a look.


    ??Mona nodded slightly, moved her chair to Lacey''s side, and asked in a low voice:


    "Do you need help?"


    "Need not."


    Lacey shook her head and refused. Seeing Mona staring at her with no intention of leaving, she remained silent for a moment and explained in a low voice:


    ��I��m sorry, it��s okay. There was just an agent named Javier who wanted to ask me to go out for dinner after get off work.��


    ??A flash of astonishment flashed in Mona''s eyes, then she covered her mouth and smiled:


    ??Although Lacey has short, sleek hair and tends to dress neutrally on weekdays, except when going to bars and other entertainment venues, she basically doesn��t wear makeup when working.


    The Trace Inspection Section stated that it was another illegal gun that had never appeared on the market. "


    ?Taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the negative emotions in her heart, Lacey stopped thinking about these things and turned to look at Luo An. She said:


    ��Luo An, in the second serial murder case in which he was shot in the back of the head, the ballistic test results have been obtained.


    ?? Agent Javier��s status was not high, and it was his first time contacting Investigation Team 13. He didn��t know whether it was normal, so Mona patted Lacey on the shoulder and whispered:


    ??The smile in Mona''s eyes became even greater. Lacey is a **** and not many people know about her liking for women, but not too many.


    ??What really made Lacey unhappy was the look of disgust in Agent Harville''s eyes when she revealed that she was lesbian...


    "clear."


    ��He wants to chase you?��


    ??Lacie nodded helplessly. In fact, what made her unhappy was not that Agent Harwell wanted to invite her to dinner. She had never encountered this kind of thing before.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he carefully checked the documents in his hand, and said without raising his head:


    Lacie nodded. The agents had been busy at their respective posts for a long time and began to rest after get off work.


    ��This matter is not urgent. We can go back and catch the people in that ��organization�� and keep them as evidence for verification and comparison.��


    Of the four women in Investigation Team No. 13, except for Michelle, whose face is not particularly attractive, she has a special temperament developed through years of reading.


    "I know."


    "I see."


    In the next few days, Luo An led Chenille, Winslow and Michelle to jointly investigate the situation and information of the "organization" in the second serial murder case.


    Lacie picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, saying unhappily:


    But her face is indeed very delicate and her figure is also very good.


    ��That��s right.��


    ��Think on the bright side, at least this proves that you are very attractive.��


    ?Mona, Lacey and Chenelle, the three girls, each have their own excellence in face, figure, etc., and they can all attract the attention of others in the first place.


    ?Mona and Lacey worked together to investigate the surrounding situation of the doll, both offline and online.


    Wednesday, at ten o''clock in the morning, Luo An received a call from Veranith in the conference room in the office area.


    Looking at the scenery outside the window, Luo An chuckled and said:


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    ��Good morning, Roan.��


    Veranith on the other end of the phone had a kind tone and asked with a smile:


    ��Mr. Clement will be back this afternoon, and when he reaches the office I will speak to him about the case.


    How is your investigation going? "


    ��All��s well with me, sir.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said:


    ��Ready to act at any time.�� ��What?��


    Veranith was very surprised. Luo An��s answer was far beyond her expectation. She thought Luo An was still in the process of investigating the organization, so she hurriedly asked:


    ��Have you found out the specific situation of that ��organization��?��


    ��Actually, it��s not that difficult, sir.��


    ? Luo An chuckled, found a folder from the conference table behind him, and explained:


    ��When we arrested ��Businessman�� Innis-Heller before, we successfully asked him about the faces of the people in that ��organization�� who were trading with him.


    ??My team members led the portrait artist to draw the guy''s appearance based on Innis-Heller''s description. Using the portrait, it didn''t take long to find the trader. "


    Veranith nodded with satisfaction and asked:


    "who''s that person?"


    ��Aiguenaishou, 40 years old. According to the FBI��s internal database, he is the owner of a small supermarket.��


    ?Luo An looked at the information in the folder and introduced with a smile:


    ��No wife, no children, no criminal record, this guy doesn��t even own a supermarket.��


    Veranith was stunned for a moment:


    ��You just said he was the owner of a supermarket?��


    ��That��s right, but my team members went on an on-site inspection and found that the place where the supermarket was registered is actually an area where homeless people gather, and there is no such thing as a supermarket at all.��


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    ��The so-called supermarket is just the name Aignesou uses when paying taxes.��


    Different from the previously arrested "businessman" Innis-Heller, on the surface, this Aignekeeper is a very law-abiding federal citizen.


    Work hard, pay taxes on time, don��t eat flour, don��t gamble, don��t even look for women, very self-disciplined.


    But in fact, the place where this guy works hard is the "organization"; the place where he pays taxes is the supermarket, but he doesn''t have a supermarket at all; he doesn''t eat flour and doesn''t gamble because the "organization" has requirements in this regard; he doesn''t get married unless he gets married. woman��


    The reason for this incident has not yet been discovered by the agents of Investigation Team 13. It is not clear whether there is a problem with Aigneshou''s orientation, or because he is afraid of marriage, or something else.


    Verenis then asked:


    ��Apart from the supermarket owner, what are the other situations in that organization?��


    ��A lot of other situations have also been found.��


    ?Luo An then introduced:


    ��Every time Agnetshou traded with Innis-Heller, he drove the same small truck, which was used to pull ��meat rabbits��, that is, people.


    ??My team members followed Aigne for a period of time and successfully found the small truck and the location of the organization.


    After continuing to stay for a few days, we already have a rough grasp of the organization''s information and personnel. "


    The organization has no name, it is just called "organization".


    ??The organization''s leader has a strict structure, strict and serious rules, and rarely communicates with the outside world on weekdays. Organization members and guests have a special way of entering and exiting, making it difficult to sneak in to check the situation.


    But just like Luo An��s previous guess, the top-level characters are perfectly designed, but the grassroots workers are ordinary people.


    Ordinary people have ordinary people��s thoughts. This is a free and democratic federation. Most ordinary people��s thoughts are very simple:


    I work for wages, and my monthly salary is just that much, so there is no need to risk my life.


    So after a few days of careful observation, Luo An disguised his face and identity, and obtained most of the information about the "organization" from a grassroots worker of the "organization" in a bar with a glass of wine and $10,000. .


    ��Sir, this organization is most likely established by some lucky escapees from the church case fourteen years ago.��


    ?Luo An took the folder, opened a new page, and said seriously:


    ��We investigated that the reason why the organization purchased ��meat rabbits�� was to allow their secretly admitted members to experience the real feeling and fun of killing.


    ?As long as these members want to, they can also pay more to experience the specific taste of human meat. There are special projects such as barbecue and raw eating.


    ?Those "tissues" of those killed by members will not be wasted. Hearts, kidneys, livers, corneas, etc., they have a complete extraction process, and they will eventually be sold into the underground black market.


    in addition��"


    ��What else?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 594： unanswered phone calls

    Chapter 594 Unanswered Call


    Hearing Luo An stop talking when he said "other", Veranith frowned, thought of something quickly, and asked:


    ��Have you found out the identities of those members?��


    ��Not all of them were found, but the true identities of some people were indeed obtained.��


    Looking at the big picture in the folder, Luo An''s eyes flashed with a cold light, and he whispered:


    ��For example, the son of a member of Congress in Washington.��


    Because he was worried about the phone being unsafe, Luo An did not name the congressman or the son.


    But Veranith''s face suddenly darkened. She straightened up and asked:


    ��Luo An, are you sure?��


    Luo An grinned and said:


    ��If the person in the photo does not look exactly like him, but has a half-brother.


    Roan added without waiting for Verenis to speak:


    ��Sir, actually if you didn��t call me first just now, I would have called you too.


    Jingle Bell-


    ?Luo An chuckled and reached out to pat Cheniel on the shoulder.


    So in order to prevent the clues from being destroyed and other things from happening, Luo An found Winslow and Michelle before going to work this morning and asked them to take the folder to the Washington headquarters first.


    Verenis nodded heavily, pondered for a moment, and said:


    After ten minutes of waiting with a coffee cup in hand, the landline phone in the office area suddenly rang.


    Perhaps that person used to be thinner... I should have checked his identity correctly. "


    In a place like Washington, there are secrets, but there are no secrets. Many things cannot be hidden at all.


    "This information cannot be transmitted by mail, Luo An, you send your most trusted agent to personally deliver the folder to the Washington headquarters."


    ��Just in case, of course.��


    "clear."


    I think this matter may be more suitable for Mr. Clement to handle. "


    ��Why do you want them to set off so early?��


    "I know."


    In this case, the No. 13 Investigation Team investigating this case may also attract the attention of some people.


    Chenelle typed on the keyboard a few times, quickly raised her head to answer, and then asked somewhat unclearly:


    ? Chenelle suddenly realized, while Lacey and Mona frowned slightly, because they had not yet arrived at the FBI headquarters in Washington, and the risk still existed.


    ��We have arrived in Washington, D.C., and we will arrive at the FBI headquarters in Washington in about 5 minutes.��


    By the time Veranith called later, the two of them had already arrived in Washington, D.C.


    After Lacey found out the identities of several members through tracking the day before yesterday, Luo An realized that there must be someone behind this "organization" that has continued to exist until now.


    ??The discussion continued for a few words, and both parties hung up the phone together. Luo An closed the folder and smiled, pushed the door open and walked out of the conference room. He looked at Chenier and asked:


    ��Where are Winslow and Michelle?��


    The impatient ringtone instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. Chenelle and Lacey frowned, and Mona was also nervous.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged as he walked to the side and picked up the phone:


    ��Who?��


    ��It��s me, Winslow.��


    Vince on the other end of the phone was in a good mood. Thinking of Veranith��s stunned expression in the office just now, he chuckled and said:


    ��The mission was successful, Michelle and I have delivered the things.��


    ��Sent to Verenith herself?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ��Good.��


    After receiving the affirmative answer, Chenelle, Lacey and Mona suddenly let out a sigh of relief. Luoan''s expression remained the same, he simply praised the two of them, and then said softly:


    ��From now on, you two will stay in the office area of ??Investigation Team 13 at the Washington headquarters, and you will also have a temporary rest there at night.��


    ��What?��


    Hearing this, Michelle and Winslow on the other end of the phone, as well as Mona, Chenelle and others on the other end of the phone, were all stunned.


    But Michelle and Winslow soon understood the other meaning of Luo An��s words, and immediately nodded in agreement:


    "clear."


    ��OK.��


    Hang up the phone, Lacey''s expression changed slightly, and she whispered:


    ��Luo An, are you a little too nervous?��


    ??Luo An��s so-called letting Winslow and Michelle stay in the office area of ??the 13th Investigation Team was to tell them not to drive back to New York. The risk factor was high. Staying at the headquarters is just a precaution. After all, not many people can rush into the FBI headquarters in Washington to rob people or commit murder.


    The meaning of this sentence is not difficult to guess. Chenelle, Lacey and others can understand it immediately.


    But even if I understand it, I still have questions.


    ?Luo An patted Lacey on the shoulder:


    ��Just in case, life is the most important thing.��


    ? Luo An briefly thought about it. If he were the boss or leader of the "organization", then he would secretly record the murder videos of some people.


    ??Later, the "organization" was destroyed by law enforcement agencies, and those who were threatened by the evidence had only two options:


    ?Either find a way to send people to kill the leader of the "organization" during the action of the law enforcement department; or find a way to prevent the law enforcement department from taking action and send people to rescue the leader of the "organization".


    To be honest, Luo An thinks the second possibility is unlikely.


    ??But Luo An was not sure that those who were threatened by the excuse had brains.


    After all, no one with brains can go to that kind of place.


    ?Luo An is not afraid of smart people, but he is worried about those without brains. After all, he cannot predict the other person''s thoughts and actions, and who knows if he will rob someone halfway.


    "All right."


    Lacie was silent for a few seconds and asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    Luo An walked to the whiteboard at the front of the office area. The whiteboard was already filled with information such as the "organization''s" base, members, and nearby maps. It was also filled with photos and photos of relevant situations.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An said:


    ��Let��s wait for news from the FBI headquarters in Washington.


    ??Also, how is the investigation going on with the doll''s hair in the first serial murder case? "


    ??Lacie and Chenelle didn''t answer, and subconsciously turned to look at Mona. Mona sat back in her chair and said while typing on the keyboard:


    ��Michelle and I really found out something.��


    ?The eyes of several people lit up and they quickly moved to Mona. Luo An asked:


    "for example?"


    ��For example, Michelle and I found several suspicious characters.��


    ?Mona pulled out the photos of 14 men, pasted them on the computer screen, and said:


    ��Everyone, these 14 men are all related to that doll.


    They are either employees of doll production companies, managers of doll sales channels, or have experience in purchasing those dolls. "


    ��How did you find these people?��


    Lacie looked suspicious. Seeing Mona looking at her, she waved her hands and said:


    ��I don��t mean to distrust you, I��m just a little confused. There are so many people who have come into contact with dolls, why do you doubt them.��


    ��Two reasons.


    The first is the profile record, such as a white male, about 40-55 years old; married or with a girlfriend, and highly educated; in good financial condition, etc. "


    ?Mona took the file from Michelle��s desk and explained:


    ��These people found are completely consistent with this profile record.��


    Luo An nodded and then asked:


    ��What��s the second point?��


    ��The second point is the hair of the puppy discovered by the Trace Inspection Department.��


    ??Mona said:


    ��Without the dog��s DNA in the FBI��s internal database, it is true that the ��suspect dog�� cannot be found, but the breed of the dog can still be identified.


    Through testing, the Trace Inspection Department determined that the dog hair that appeared on the victim came from a Labrador.


    The 14 suspects Michelle and I found all had a Labrador at home. "


    ��One coincidence is a coincidence, two coincidences are an accident, and three coincidences are unjustifiable.��


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, and before he could continue to speak, the cell phone on his waist suddenly rang.


    ??Going to the side and pressing the answer button, Luo An said:


    ��It��s me, sir.��


    It was Veranith on the other end of the phone. As soon as Luo An finished speaking, Veranith said coldly:


    "Roan, Mr. Clement already knows about this. The arrest operation will officially start tomorrow!"


    ?Luo An frowned slightly. He noticed one thing. Why is it tomorrow?


    Snapped-


    ??Virnis hung up the phone without waiting for Luo An to ask questions.


    ? Luo An looked slightly moved, thought of something, found Winslow and Michelle''s phone number and called them.


    ?The ringing keeps ringing and no one answers.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 595： Start taking action, arrest people, emergencies

    Chapter 595 Start taking action, arrest people, emergencies


    Wednesday, at 11 o''clock at noon, in a temporarily borrowed office in Long Island, New York, the air was quiet, except for the busy tone that kept playing when making calls on the mobile phone.


    Jingle Bell-


    ?The ringing keeps ringing and no one answers.


    After a moment, Luo An took the initiative to hang up the phone.


    "what happened?"


    ??The moment the phone was hung up, Mona and Chenelle walked up immediately, and Lacey asked anxiously:


    "What happened to Winslow and Michelle? Are they in danger?"


    ?Mona and Chenelle also looked at Roan nervously. They had the same idea as Lacey, and they also suspected that something bad had happened to Winslow and Michelle.


    ??Luo An''s eyes flashed with thoughtfulness, he pondered for a few seconds, his face suddenly became very serious, and he commanded in a concentrated voice:


    ��Chenelle, Lacey, you two set out now to lead five SWAT action teams to raid and arrest the ��organization�� base and its members!


    ??The black SUV and the jet-black personnel carrier quickly arrived at the target villa. The vehicles stopped and everyone quickly got out of the car, and then immediately rushed into the villa.


    Hearing Luo An��s order, Lacey and the other two people��s eyes suddenly widened. Mona hesitated for a few seconds and asked:


    ��Roan, Winslow and Michelle...��


    The leader of the ��organization�� is a guy named Francisco, who is apparently a wealthy man who runs a hotel chain. He attends various banquets and evening parties and donates a lot of charity money.


    Soon, all the rooms in the villa were checked, and Nacho Jones was not found.


    ??The door of the villa was smashed by the hammer. The SWAT team members holding explosion shields rushed into the villa first. Roan and Mona followed closely behind them together with other SWAT team members:


    ��FBI!��


    ��Put your hands behind your head!��


    But this "Francisco", according to careful investigation by Luo An and others, found that it was actually a fake name. His original real name was actually "Nacho Jones". Fourteen years ago, he still believed in God and led believers every week. Pastor of worship.


    "Francisco", the address of "Nacho Jones", is in a large villa area in southern New York.


    "do not move!"


    Mona, you and I will lead two SWAT teams and set off to arrest the chief leader of the "organization"! "


    During the previous investigation, the agents of Investigation Team 13 have figured out the location of the "organization"''s base, which is in a medium-sized manor in the suburbs of New York.


    There were several people in the villa who were dealing with sanitation. The SWAT team members were shocked by their actions. They reacted and followed the instructions, raised their hands and stood against the wall.


    I asked the sanitation staff and learned that they were just people from the cleaning company. They had just arrived at the villa not long ago and knew nothing about the situation.


    ��Stand up! Don��t do anything else!��


    ��They��re fine.��


    Luo An also conducted research and found a design company, from which he obtained the structural construction drawings of the manor and figured out the architecture and layout of the manor.


    ??If someone maliciously takes away the two of them, when Luo An calls, the other party will definitely answer the call and put forward his own conditions or speak out his own requirements.


    ?But the current call has not been answered, and coupled with the order Veranith just gave on the phone...the combination of the two immediately reminded Luo An of a certain possibility.


    Boom��


    Roan shook his head. Winslow and Michelle were in the office area of ??Investigation Team 13, which is the FBI headquarters in Washington. There were very few people who broke into it directly, and there were not many people who could make them lose contact.


    ? Time was urgent. Luo An did not explain in detail to Mona and the other three, but quickly picked up the weapons and equipment. The four of them immediately divided into two groups and led the SWAT team to take action.


    ??Mona returned to the SUV, took out her computer and started to retrieve nearby surveillance videos, while Luo An found the community leader of the villa area.


    ��Sorry, Mr. Agent.��


    ??The community leader of this villa area is a white man who looks to be in his thirties, wearing a suit and with a slicked back hair. Hearing Luo An��s question, he smiled and said:


    ��We cannot reveal our customers�� privacy.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he smiled:


    ��That is to say, you know the time when Mr. Francisco left this area, right?��


    The community leader smiled slightly and did not answer. Seeing this, Luo An also grinned, waved his hand and said:


    "It doesn''t matter if you don''t want to say it. By the way, you''d better not leave New York City these days. Looking back, if something happens to Mr. Francisco, we definitely need to talk to you who is delaying time and obstructing federal agents'' law enforcement. After all, you know If you don��t report it, you will be highly suspicious.��


    ??The leader of the community twitched his eyelids and was silent for a moment. He whispered:


    ��Half an hour ago, Mr. Francisco and his driver drove away from here on the southern road of the community.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Mona who was typing on the keyboard. After a few seconds, Mona clapped her hands and said excitedly:


    ��Found them!��


    Luo An didn��t talk nonsense and immediately said loudly:


    "Set off!"


    ? Pressing the accelerator to the floor, the SUV rushed out like a sharp sword, followed closely by the SWAT personnel carrier. The two dark cars quickly began to pursue Mona in the direction where she found her.


    While driving, Luo An said:


    ��Contact the NYPD and ask them to help set up a blockade to intercept the target person.��


    ��We have been contacted and the NYPD is mobilizing people for action.��


    ? Mona in the passenger seat nodded and said that she had contacted the NYPD as soon as she found Francisco and his driver.


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An then asked:


    ��How��s it going with Chenelle and Lacey?��


    ��It��s been pretty smooth for them there.��


    ?Feeling the vehicle speed getting faster and faster, Mona calmly tightened her seat belt and replied:


    ��They led the SWAT team to surround the manor and were conducting raids.


    The security personnel of the "organization" resisted fiercely, and the two sides began to exchange fire. However, the security personnel were average in strength, and Lacey, Chenille, and the SWAT team members were making steady progress. "


    ��Send them a message.��


    Luo An thought for a moment and said:


    ��Let them pay more attention to the hostages in the hands of that group and the problems with the secret passage.��


    When Westerners design a manor, they usually build secret passages to prepare for unexpected events.


    During Luo An''s previous investigation of the manor, he discovered traces of several secret passages. Before launching the operation today, he had already marked some red lines on the manor''s design map.


    "clear."


    ?Mona nodded heavily and started typing on the keyboard:


    ��I��ll send a message to Lacey and Chenelle right now.��


    ??The black SUV was weaving in and out of the traffic on the streets of New York, speeding quickly. When he saw the traffic lights not far away starting to flash, Luo An was about to press the accelerator to the bottom and rush out first. Mona''s face suddenly changed and she said in shock:


    ��Luo An! News from the NYPD, they were attacked!��


    Luo An looked stern, slightly moved his foot off the accelerator, and asked:


    ��Was it Francisco, or his driver, who carried out the attack?��


    ��It��s a group of guys who appear out of nowhere!��


    ??Mona quickly typed on the keyboard to retrieve the surveillance video near the place where the incident occurred, trying to figure out the situation there, and said at the same time:


    ��The NYPD does not know the identity of the group, whether they are Francisco��s subordinates, or...��


    ��Or a third party.��


    A cold look flashed across Luo An��s eyes, and he said in a cold voice:


    ��For example, someone who wants to kill Francisco and silence him.��


    "this��"


    ??Mona frowned and was about to speak when a truck suddenly jumped out of the intersection ahead and hit the SUV driven by Luo An!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 596： car accident, driver identity, pursuit, greetings

    Chapter 596 Car accident, driver��s identity, pursuit, greetings


    At the intersection, the green light is flashing and will soon turn into a yellow light and then a red light. Most of the cars on the road begin to consciously slow down.


    At this moment, a truck loaded with goods seemed to have brake failure. In the horrified eyes of passers-by and drivers, it crashed straight into a black SUV at the intersection!


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Ohmygod!��


    ��Jesus!��


    ��Happy gift crab!��


    The faces of the drivers on the road and passers-by on both sides of the road changed greatly when they saw this scene!


    Many women subconsciously covered their eyes or mouths. They could already imagine what kind of tragic scene would happen on the road in the next second!


    The truck was coming from the left side of the road, which was to the left of Luo An in the driver''s seat. Mona was turning to look at Luo An and was about to speak. When she saw the speeding approaching driver, her expression suddenly changed and she shouted in shock. :


    ��Luo An! Be careful!��


    ��Hold on to your seat belt!��


    Luo An looked stern, shouted loudly, then suddenly put the gear into gear and stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel to the right!


    ? Moments before the large truck appeared, the "emotional perception" in his mind sent a strong early warning signal, and Luo An also instantly spotted the truck rushing towards him.


    In the astonished eyes of passers-by and drivers on the road, the SUV suddenly accelerated and turned right, pointing its rear end at the front of the truck.


    ��Holycow! (Oh my god!)��


    Luo An not only had no angry expression on his face, but a sunny smile as he asked directly:


    The truck driver was a middle-aged white man who looked to be in his forties, wearing the most common jeans and jacket suit in the Federation. When Luo An pulled him out of the car, his face looked like he had seen a ghost. He never expected that Luo An had just Actions.


    score


    Boom��


    The truck driver shook his head and said hurriedly:


    In the SUV, Mona, who was in the passenger seat, was also in shock. What happened just now happened too fast, and now she is still a little unresponsive.


    ��I don��t know you. I really didn��t mean it. I lost control of the brakes. I don��t know what happened...��


    ��Areyoukiddingme? (Are you kidding me?)��


    ��Who is that driver?!��


    ��Nofu-kingway!��


    The next second, the out-of-control truck hit the SUV''s **** hard. Under the influence of huge inertia, the SUV swooped uncontrollably to the right for more than ten meters.


    ��Hello, I��m FBI.��


    ?Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind instantly. Luo An quickly found the solution that was most suitable for the moment. It was too late to brake, so it was better to keep moving forward!


    Luo An didn''t talk nonsense. Under the curious and shocked eyes of passers-by, he opened the door and stepped out of the SUV, then walked to the truck, opened the door and pulled the driver out.


    The scene of the truck hitting the road guardrail heavily, but the SUV moving left and right in the blink of an eye, and finally stopped smoothly on the side of the road, caused passers-by on both sides of the road to widen their eyes, and the drivers were also shocked, with their eyes full of shock. Unbelievable.


    But at this time, he was driving an SUV and he had the ability to jump out of the car and escape. Mona, who was in the passenger seat, was unable to react in such a short period of time. She would eventually be injured or even die.


    "Do you know me?"


    A car is a mechanical object after all, and it is not as flexible as a human body in any way. If Luo An is not driving at this time and the truck wants to hit him, Luo An has several ways to easily avoid it.


    Leaving two deep ruts on the road, the black SUV suddenly rushed out from the left side. At the cost of a big hole in the **** of the car, it bypassed the truck and stopped on the side of the road. The airbag exploded, and the driver''s seat The two people on the passenger seat were intact.


    Lies!


    The "emotional perception" in the mind immediately gives the judgment that the other party is lying.


    Luo An was not surprised at all. Even without "emotional perception", when he pulled the truck driver out of the car just now, he saw the coldness in the truck driver''s eyes that could not be concealed.


    Coupled with the negative emotions that the truck driver continued to exude when facing him, Luo An was already sure that the other party was coming for him.


    ��I��m sorry, I really didn��t mean it, I��m willing to pay...��


    ??The truck driver apologized profusely and seemed to be very sincere, but Luo An was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and directly hit him on the back of the head with his right fist.


    score


    With a muffled sound, the truck driver rolled his eyes and fell unconscious for an instant. In the blind spot of the surveillance, where no one else could see him, he took out a bottle of [Sleep Potion] and poured it into the truck driver''s mouth. Luo An carried him back to the SUV.


    Because the **** of the car was hit, the back seat of the SUV has become extremely cramped and it is difficult to seat people. Luo An didn''t care. Although the seat was rotten, there was still room on the ground. He didn''t intend to let the other party sit on it. Lying down was just fine, so he threw the sleeping truck driver in.


    ??Taking out a knife and cutting off the airbag, Luo An sat back in the driver''s seat and started the car. Mona in the passenger seat took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the panic in her heart.


    Seeing the truck driver in the back seat of the car, Mona frowned and asked:


    "This guy��"


    ��This guy is coming for us.��


    ?Hunting the SUV and continuing towards the target location, Luo An explained in a cold voice while driving the car:


    ��We can��t leave him at the crossroads, and we can��t hand him over to the NYPD. I��m afraid he��ll suddenly be shot in the back and commit suicide on the spot.��


    ??Mona understood the subtext of Luo An''s words. She noticed another question and asked in a low voice:


    ��Our action is urgent and fast. How does this guy know our route?��


    ��Community leaders, passers-by, surveillance, and even the SWAT team members in the personnel carrier behind are all possible.��


    Luo An��s eyes flashed with a thoughtful light, and he suddenly laughed in a low voice:


    ��There are really brainless guys.��


    "What?"


    ??Mona tilted her head, not understanding the meaning of Luo An''s last sentence. Luo An did not explain, but said:


    ��You stay in this SUV later and keep an eye on the truck driver. Don��t let anyone else take him away.��


    "clear!"


    ?Mona nodded heavily, Luo An stopped talking nonsense, the SUV passed a passerby Buick, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom again.


    Moving forward quickly, the wind is lightning fast, and the noise is deafening.


    Because the **** of the car was hit, the glass of the back seat was shattered all over the place, and the wind noise of the SUV driving at high speed was extremely loud.


    ?Mona typed on the keyboard for a moment and shouted:


    ��Roan! The group that suddenly appeared and attacked the NYPD has already kidnapped Francisco, that is, Nacho Jones!


    ??And this group of people has escaped from the NYPD encirclement! Heading west! "


    ?Luo An��s eyes moved slightly and asked:


    "Specific locations!"


    ??Mona quickly planned the route, and Luo An didn''t waste any time and turned the steering wheel again to change the direction of travel.


    It didn��t take long for the SUV to overtake the passers-by and catch up with the group of people.


    There were three vehicles in total, all off-road vehicles. Mona said the NYPD said the group numbered about 10 people.


    ��OK.��


    Luo An nodded, and before he could speak, the last of the three off-road vehicles in front saw the battle-damaged SUV following closely behind. The man inside suddenly took out a gun, aimed at Luo An and Mona and pulled the trigger. trigger.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?A pile of bullets hit the front hood and front glass of the SUV crazily. Mona immediately took out a gun, opened the right window and fired at the opponent.


    Seeing the bulletproof glass on the front window cracked little by little, Mona hurriedly shouted:


    ��Luo An! What to do?!��


    ��Retract your arms, hold on to your seat belt, remember my order just now, and leave the rest to me!��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, took out the wrench in the tool box and jammed the accelerator, then took out the pistol from his waist.


    The accelerator was stuck, the speed of the SUV rose sharply, and soon it collided with the off-road vehicle in front!


    �O


    With a loud noise, the two guys who were shooting in the off-road vehicle instantly leaned back uncontrollably and paused the shooting action.


    ?At the same time, the window glass of the SUV was also shattered by the last few bullets fired by Mona under Mona��s horrified gaze.


    Luo An, who had already unbuckled his seat belt, took advantage of the inertia caused by the shattered glass and the collision of the two cars to suddenly fly out from the front window. He took out his pistol and smashed the rear window of the off-road vehicle. He grabbed it with all his strength and got directly inside. Got in.


    ?This series of things happened so fast that before the people in the jeep could react, a gentle and unfamiliar male voice suddenly sounded in their ears:


    ��Good afternoon, everyone, nice to meet you.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 597： Successful arrest, guy who appeared out of nowhere

    Chapter 597: Successfully arrested, the guy who appeared suddenly


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Shit!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ? There were four people sitting in the off-road vehicle, one each for the driver and co-pilot, and two people in the back seat. They were also the ones who shot at the war-damaged SUV behind them from the window.


    ??Luo An suddenly broke the rear window and got into the off-road vehicle. Although his tone was very gentle, it still shocked the four people.


    ??The driver could not move while driving. The two guys who shot back were half out of the car window and could not return to the car immediately. So the white man in the passenger seat immediately took out his pistol and turned around to attack Luo An.


    �O


    ?Luo An was faster than him. He raised his hand to grab the gun of the man in the co-pilot, and lifted it up hard to make the other man miss.


    ??Then Luo An cracked his knuckles, forcing the opponent to let go. He grabbed the pistol, aimed at the opponent''s eyebrows, and pulled the trigger.


    ��Fu-k!��


    There were four people in the car, and Luo An killed three of them in the blink of an eye. The driver��s eyes were full of horror, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he cursed loudly:


    "you this*#%��"


    There were two off-road vehicles in front of him. In the second off-road vehicle, a man wearing a striped suit was sitting in the passenger seat. When he saw the off-road vehicle getting closer and closer to him and Luo An inside, he suddenly cursed:


    "What are you laughing at? Aren''t you also the person Roan Greenwood wants to arrest?"


    ��They refuse to answer my questions. The people behind these guys are becoming more and more interested.��


    ??The man in the striped suit suddenly raised his eyebrows when he saw the smile on his face, reached out and pulled off the tape on his mouth, and asked angrily:


    "why are you laughing?"


    Francisco chuckled and said:


    ����


    ?While spitting out the fragrance, the driver prepared to turn the steering wheel. If the car was traveling at high speed, it would inevitably roll over. He planned to die together with Luo An.


    "who?"


    ?Francisco grinned and asked:


    ��You don��t know that man?��


    ��Roan Greenwood, head of the FBI��s Washington Headquarters, Investigation Team 13, a genius agent with a 100% crime detection rate.��


    Bang! Bang!


    There were two muffled sounds, and the eyes of the two enemies who were half outside the car suddenly bulged. Luo An then grabbed the enemy on the right, shot him to death and threw him out of the off-road vehicle. The enemy on the left was kicked out of the window by him. Got out.


    boom!


    ?The bullet was shot out, and red and white things splashed on the glass. Luo An then opened his bow from left to right, and punched the two male enemies in the back seat of the car at the common weak point.


    "What do Alex and the others do for food? Four people were killed by one person? They are really useless!"


    boom!


    ?The next second, gunfire rang out. Luo An opened the car door and kicked out the driver who was shot in the temple. Then he closed the car door and sat in the driver''s seat.


    The faces of the driver and the two white men in the back seat were very solemn. Francisco, whose hands were tied in the middle and his mouth was taped, was smiling and his eyes were full of disdain.


    ? Luo An grinned and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The off-road vehicle he stole roared and chased after the other two off-road vehicles in front.


    ��Didn��t the boss behind you tell me about this when you were sent out to arrest me?��


    ?The face of the striped suit suddenly became gloomy, and the smile on Francisco''s face became more intense. Seeing this, the striped suit sneered:


    ??Then Luo An took the pistol he snatched from the co-pilot and pressed it against the driver��s temple. With a sunny smile on his face, he asked:


    ��What is your name? Who sent you?��


    ??The smile on Francisco''s face paused, and just as he was about to refute something, the white man next to him suddenly shouted:


    ��Captain! That guy is catching up!��


    Bang!


    Boom��


    ?As soon as the white man in the back seat of the car finished speaking, everyone in the off-road vehicle suddenly felt the car shake. Then the whole car rolled across the road uncontrollably, and finally rolled over and fell to the ground.


    ?It was Luo An who drove the stolen off-road vehicle and crashed into the back seat of the off-road vehicle where the man in the striped suit was sitting, causing a Pomeranian-style stop.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Several people in the off-road vehicle, with their heads bleeding and bleeding, were yelling and swearing. When the first off-road vehicle saw this, it immediately braked, stopped and returned to this place. Four guys with weapons quickly got out of the vehicle and rushed to the rolling off-road vehicle, preparing to save people. , also prepared to fight back and kill Luo An.


    ��Captain! You guys haven��t����


    boom!


    There was a gunshot, and the guy who asked about the captain''s status was shot in the head and fell to the ground. The other three people reacted and immediately pulled the trigger towards Luo An''s location:


    ��Suppress him with fire!�� ��Act on both sides at the same time!��


    ?The three white men were well-trained and immediately decided to suppress Luo An with fire while the other two surrounded him from the side and jointly attacked Luo An.


    ����


    At this moment, a black object suddenly flew out from behind the off-road vehicle. After seeing it clearly, one of the white men��s face changed and he shouted:


    ��Fu-k! It��s shocking����


    �O


    Before he finished speaking, the shock bomb exploded, a dazzling white light flashed, and the windows of the three off-road vehicles shattered to the ground instantly.


    boom!


    Then a gunshot was heard by everyone present. One of the white men fell to the ground instantly. Luo An gave him another peaceful sleep as a gift.


    "damn it!"


    ??The remaining two white men were even angrier, swearing and preparing to fight back.


    At this moment, a dark personnel carrier arrived. A dozen SWAT members quickly got out of the vehicle, quickly surrounded the area with weapons raised, and shouted:


    "lay down your weapon!"


    "do not move!"


    "Raise your hand!"


    ��Get down! Get down!��


    ������x2


    ??The two white men, surrounded by a group of SWAT members, looked at Luo An, who was hiding behind an off-road vehicle not far away and looking at him with a smile. His face turned red and his chest heaved with anger.


    They wanted to shoot very much, but their fingers were trembling and they did not dare to pull the trigger.


    "lay down your weapon!"


    ??The smile on Luo An��s face became brighter and brighter, and he shouted loudly:


    ��Throw the weapon aside! Put your head in your hands! Get down on the ground!��


    ������x2


    The two white men''s faces turned green and their lips were trembling. They hesitated for a long time and finally threw their weapons aside.


    Several SWAT members saw this and immediately swarmed them and tightly controlled them.


    Luo An chuckled and ignored the two of them. In the eyes of all the SWAT members who were either admiring or looking up to him, he walked to the second off-road vehicle with its weapons in hand, knocked on the door, and asked politely. road:


    ��Good afternoon, everyone, are you still alive?��


    "damn it��"


    ??A harsh insult came from the car. Luo An chuckled, waved to the admiring SWAT team members beside him, and said:


    ��Call an ambulance and pull these people out.��


    "clear!"


    ?Several SWAT members hurriedly followed the order, and not long after, Mona also arrived in the area in the SUV.


    ?The rear **** was hit by a truck, denting a big dent, and the front was hit by an off-road vehicle, causing something to fall off the front face. The fact that this SUV could successfully drive here was considered a success, and the slow speed was normal.


    ??Mona got out of the car and ran quickly to Luo An, and asked nervously:


    "Are you OK?"


    ?Luo An��s previous actions not only shocked the enemies, but also completely exceeded her expectations.


    "fine."


    ??Luo An stretched out his hand to wipe away the few wisps of dust on Mona''s face, smiled and said:


    ��Don��t worry, I��m measured.��


    ??? Before Mona could say anything, Luo An suddenly noticed that there were two strange men in suits helping Francisco to the ambulance. He immediately walked over to stop the two of them and asked:


    ��Who are you?��


    The two men in suits looked at each other. The man on the left smiled, stretched out his hand to Luo An, and said:


    "Hello, Team Leader Luo An, thank you for your hard work. We will be responsible for the next thing."


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 598： The sudden appearance of the Secret Service, the robbery scene and the suspicion

    Chapter 598 The Secret Service suddenly appeared, snatching the scene and the suspect


    ��You are responsible for what happens next?!��


    Hearing this, Mona immediately realized something was wrong and walked up quickly.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he ignored the other person��s hand reaching towards him, smiled, and asked:


    ��You two, please introduce your identities.��


    ??The man in the suit on the left saw that Luo An had no intention of shaking hands, so he was not embarrassed and acted as if nothing had happened. He retracted his hand very naturally and said with a smile:


    ��We are from the USSS (Secret Service)��


    ??Mona''s face changed slightly. After the man in the suit finished speaking, he put his hand into his pocket and prepared to take out his ID.


    ?The next second, Luo An''s eyes moved slightly and he suddenly jumped forward. Before the man in the suit on the left could react, he punched him in the stomach.


    �O


    Following that, Luo An threw another uppercut, and the man in the suit on the left rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.


    It is obvious that Luo An''s reasons are very good, and the other party cannot prove Luo An''s true intention.


    The man in the suit on the right changed his face when he saw this, and immediately took out the pistol from his pocket. Luo An quickly ran in front of him, grabbed the muzzle of the gun and raised it up, dodging the opponent''s whip and punched him again. .


    Luo An nodded and then said:


    ??The sharp punch caused the man in the suit on the right to shrink his pupils, but Luo An was too fast and he couldn''t dodge. In the end, he and his partner rolled their eyes and fainted on the ground.


    "you��"


    ??As long as Francisco is in hand, Luo An can gain the initiative, and with Mr. Clement behind him, the matter will definitely not become a big deal. At worst, he will apologize later.


    ?Mona had a strange look in her eyes and asked:


    After driving the driver and nurse out of the car, Luo An drove the ambulance and left the area immediately.


    �O


    In the carriage behind the ambulance, Mona frowned as she looked at Luo An who was driving:


    ?While the other party was talking, he suddenly put his hand into his pocket. I suspected that he was planning to draw a gun and attack.


    ��This is the federation, and I��m an FBI.


    ��Who can prove they are from the Secret Service?��


    ��Didn��t the man on the left put his hand in his pocket?��


    ? Luo An��s meaning is very simple. You said you are from the Secret Service. How do you prove this? After all, it is empty talk.


    ??Luo An waved his hand to interrupt Mona, saying that the two people just said that they were from the Secret Service, but did not produce documents that could prove his identity.


    As for knocking down the two men just now, Luo An was mainly worried that the other party would draw a gun and attack him while he was not paying attention.


    Of course, it is not difficult to see what Luo An was thinking. Before the other party could produce specific documents to prove his identity, he would knock the other party down first to prevent Francisco from being taken away by them.


    It didn''t take more than eight seconds for Luo An to knock down the two of them. It wasn''t until they fell to the ground that people around them realized what had happened. Just as they were about to come over, Luo An immediately pulled Mona and pulled the unconscious truck driver and Francisco in the SUV. , thrown into the ambulance together.


    "Luo An, you just beat up the Secret Service guy, didn''t you..."


    ??The guy on the right immediately pulled out his gun, which proved my guess was correct. "


    ??Mona understood what Luo An meant, as did Francisco next to her. He raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��Leader Luo An, where are we going?��


    ��Definitely not a hospital.��


    Roan grinned, looked at Francisco through the rearview mirror, and said:


    ��Mr. Francisco, you are really a popular person. There are so many people trying to take you away.��


    Because the off-road vehicle was knocked over just now, Francisco''s head was smashed, his face and back of his head were covered with blood, his right arm was broken, and there were many bruises and contusions on his arms, thighs, front and back, etc. His whole body Looking very embarrassed.


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Francisco showed an ugly smile. Then he noticed a problem and asked hurriedly:


    ��If you don��t want to go to the hospital? Where will we go? My injuries need treatment!��


    ��There are too many people who want to survive. Going to the hospital is not to treat wounds, it is to seek death.��


    ??Luo An blocked the steering wheel of the ambulance and asked Mona to take the driver''s seat to drive. When changing positions, Luo An whispered something in Mona''s ear. Mona nodded and started to drive the ambulance forward.


    ? Moving to the rear compartment, Luo An dug out a medicine box for emergency treatment from under the seat, took out a bottle of iodine and a bandage, and looked up at Francisco with a sunny smile:


    ��Your wound is not serious and you will not die in a short time.


    Be patient and don''t shout. "

    ??Francisco''s pupils shrank suddenly, and before he could refuse, Luo An stuffed an unknown rag he found into his mouth, and then poured iodine on his wound.??????!!!��


    A few minutes later, several rounds of bandages were wrapped around the wounds on Francisco''s body, and Luo Anna used the dismantled seat parts to make a simple splint for the broken right arm.


    ��OK.��


    ??Tie the splint bandage behind Francisco''s neck, Luo An sat back down and said with a smile:


    ��Don��t forget to pay my medical bills later.��


    The muscles in Francisco''s thighs, forearms, and other parts of his body unconsciously twitched occasionally, his eyes were dull, and he didn''t want to answer at all.


    ?At this moment, Mona��s cell phone suddenly rang. She took it out and handed it to Luo An:


    ��It��s Lacey.��


    Luo An took the phone and just pressed the answer button when Lacey��s angry voice rang on the phone:


    ��Team leader, Chenelle and I have led the SWAT team and successfully destroyed the ��organization��s�� manor.


    ?Several agents from the USSS (Secret Service) suddenly appeared, saying that they would take over the rest of the matter. "


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he said softly:


    "I understand. Leave the scene to them. You and Cheniel will lead the team back immediately."


    ��What?��


    Lacie was very surprised. Just as she was about to ask, something suddenly came to her mind and she said in a deep voice:


    "I see."


    Hang up the phone, Luo An did not return the phone to Mona immediately. Instead, he found the text message page and sent a simple message.


    ?At the same time, in a certain manor, Lacey looked very unhappy after hanging up the phone.


    Suddenly, her phone vibrated. She lowered her head and looked at the text message inside. Lacey''s eyes flashed with light. Then she deleted the text message calmly, turned around and walked to Chenier''s side not far away.


    ? ? There were seven white men in suits and ties standing in front of Chenelle. Before Lacey returned, she was confronting this group of people.


    Seeing Lacey return, Chenelle immediately asked:


    "How to say?"


    ��Leave it to them on site.��


    ??Lacie snorted coldly, glared at several white men fiercely, pulled Chenelle out, and said as she walked:


    ��You win.��


    The tone was full of displeasure.


    Just as Chenelle was about to speak, Lacey suddenly squeezed her hand. Chenelle immediately woke up, turned around, spat at the feet of several white men, snorted coldly, and turned around to leave.


    The two women left with the SWAT team, and the men in suits looked a little proud.


    But the expression of the first man with short hair and a large hooked nose did not change at all. He waved his hand and motioned for his men to deal with the scene, while he walked aside, took out his mobile phone and made a call.


    The first call was ringing for a while but no one answered. The hook-nosed man frowned slightly and made the second call.


    After ringing again for a moment, the call was finally connected. The hook-nosed man immediately asked:


    ��How is the target person doing?��


    ��Sorry, Captain.��


    On the other end of the phone was one of the two men in suits who was knocked down by Luo An before. He rubbed his painful cheek and whispered:


    ��The man was taken away by Roan Greenwood.��


    ??The man with the hooked nose looked ugly, but he did not curse, but asked:


    "what happened?"


    ??The man in the suit briefly described the situation at that time, his hook-nosed face gloomy:


    ��You and Bob are the two best players in our team, and yet you haven��t beaten Roan Greenwood?��


    ��That guy is very fast and strong, far beyond our expectation.��


    ??The man in the suit looked very ugly. He and Bob had encountered many skilled enemies over the years and arrested many vicious criminals.


    The two of them were very confident in their abilities, which was why Hook Nose sent them to Luo An.


    ?But never expected that the two of them didn''t react at all, and fell into Luo An''s hands as soon as they met...


    The man in the suit and Bob beside him were very angry after waking up. On the one hand, they were angry at Luo An for knocking them down, and on the other hand, they were angry at Luo An''s identity:


    You are such a skilled guy, why do you stay in the FBI?


    The Secret Service or the CIA, which one can better utilize your strength and contribute more to the federal government? !


    After the man in the suit finished narrating, the man with the hooked nose had a serious expression on his face, but he did not say any critical words. After hanging up the phone, he immediately asked the rest of his men to look for traces of the ambulance.


    It didn��t take long for his men to find the ambulance, and Hook Nose immediately took the people there himself.


    When I got there, I found that there was no one in the ambulance.

 Chapter 599： FBI Director, Speaker of Congress

    Chapter 599 FBI Director, Speaker of Congress


    ��Why is there another person?��


    ??At a crossroads on a certain highway in New York, not long after the team left the manor, they got off the car midway, changed their outfits, and got into a van according to the instructions.


    The two were surprised to find that in the car, in addition to Luo An, Mona and the target Francisco, there was also a white man who was sleeping soundly.


    ��This guy is a truck driver.��


    When everyone arrived, Luo An immediately drove away. Mona briefly described the car accident and the identity of the truck driver.


    Lacie and Chenelle frowned. Lacey asked first:


    ��Where did you get this car?��


    ��Borrowed from passers-by.��


    ?Luo An smiled. When he drove away in the ambulance, he already had the idea of ????changing cars halfway.


    The ambulance target is too conspicuous, and there are monitoring and positioning inside, making it easy to be discovered and found.


    As for whether the owner of the van would not reveal this, Luo An was not worried, because the car had been parked on the side of the road for a long time, covered with dust, and had not been driven for a long time.


    Chenelle frowned slightly. Lacey looked at the sleeping truck driver behind her and complained:


    ??The bald white man looked serious, stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, and said in a solemn voice:


    Ledger? Video footage of someone? Or is it something else? "


    Meanwhile, FBI headquarters in Washington.


    ��Team Leader Luo An, I am willing to pay 5 million US dollars and hand over all those things to you. How about you let me go?��


    ??The van was driving forward quickly. Chenier looked at Francisco with a very serious face and asked:


    ��What exactly do you have in your hand?


    Not only did the Secret Service come forward, but it also caused the Secret Service to send a truck driver to hit our team leader in an attempt to hinder his arrest? ! "


    ����


    ?Sending a truck driver to hit Roan not only didn��t look like something the Secret Service would do, but it was also unnecessary because it would only make things worse.


    ??Luo An chuckled, a flash of disdain flashed in the eyes of Mona and Chenelle, Lacey was too lazy to continue talking nonsense, and asked directly:


    ��What on earth is it?��


    ?After the brief contact just now, Luo An speculated that the goal of the Secret Service was to collect or cover up this case.


    ��Has this guy not slept for several months? He was carried around by Luo An and Mona and couldn��t wake up for so long?��


    ??The car owner probably won''t mind if Luo An drives him away now.


    ��You said one thing wrong, Chenelle.��


    Luo An, who had secretly filled the truck driver��s bottle of [sleeping potion] before without anyone noticing, his eyelids twitched and he changed the subject:


    ��The truck driver��s matter is not important, the most important question now is Francisco, what do you have in your hands.


    Francisco was silent for a moment and asked tentatively:


    ��There is no need to say such things.��


    Roan''s question was raised, and several people in the car immediately turned their attention to Francisco, who was sitting next to him with a bandage on his head.


    Without waiting for Francisco to answer, Luo An shook his head first and said:


    ��That truck driver was most likely not sent by the Secret Service, but by someone else.��


    ?At this time, Mr. Clement did not stay in his office as usual, but sat in an office larger than his, facing an elderly white man with a somewhat bald head.


    Roan frowned slightly when he heard this, while Mona, Lacey and Chenelle instantly widened their eyes with shock on their faces.


    ?Francisco was silent for a long time, sighed, and uttered a few words.


    ��The Secret Service just called me and said that the FBI took the first step and arrested the suspect. What exactly happened?��


    ��Sorry, Director, I don��t know what happened.��


    Mr. Clement looked calm, looked at the FBI director in front of him, and said unhurriedly:


    ��As you know, not long after I came back, I received an order from Director You and issued a notice in accordance with your request.


    I didn��t have any involvement in what happened next. "


    Sitting opposite Mr. Clement, the man behind the large desk is none other than FBI Director Robert.


    Director Robert glanced at Mr. Clement and then said:


    ��Go back and figure this out as soon as possible.��


    ��OK.��


    ? Mr. Clement nodded, stood up and walked out of the director''s office. The door was closed. Director Robert leaned back, closed his eyes and began to rub his temples.


    ?The previous president��s eight-year term is about to end, and the federation is about to start a new presidential election. The FBI is nominally a neutral law enforcement agency, a tool to uphold federal laws and has nothing to do with matters in the political arena.


    However, the so-called separation of powers in the federation is actually not separated at all in many matters.


    ??As the FBI director appointed by the president, Robert also cannot get rid of the problem of position.


    Director Robert was sitting in the office, frowning and thinking. After Mr. Clement walked out of the room, he was just about to ask the secretary waiting in the corridor to contact Veranith, when the phone in the secretary''s hand rang.


    Mr. Clement frowned slightly, took the phone and pressed the answer button. Luo An��s voice immediately sounded on the phone:


    ��Good afternoon, Mr. Clement.��


    ��Good afternoon, Roan.��


    Mr. Clement replied casually, briefly recounted what Director Robert had just asked him, and then asked:


    ��Is the suspect in the serial murder case now in the hands of your Investigation Team No. 13?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An said while driving:


    ��We succeeded in arresting the other party.��


    Mr. Clement frowned slightly when he heard this, and was about to repeat the order he had given Verenis before, that is, to start the operation tomorrow, but Roan said first:


    ��In addition, according to our interrogation, there is some connection between this case and Mike.��


    ��Mike?��


    Mr. Clement was stunned for a moment, thought of something quickly, and asked in a deep voice:


    ��Which Mike?��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and replied:


    ��That��s the Mike you were thinking of, Mr. Clement.��


    ??There are hundreds of thousands of men named Mike in the entire federation, but after hearing Luo An''s words, Mr. Clement''s breathing suddenly became slightly faster.


    At this moment, Veranith suddenly walked out of the corner of the corridor in the distance, walked quickly to Mr. Clement, handed him a folder expressionlessly, and said:


    ��Sir, urgent document.��


    Mr. Clement looked slightly moved, took the folder and looked at it for a few times, then quickly picked up the phone and asked:


    ��Luo An, are you sure the news is 100% correct?��


    ��I can��t be sure.��


    ?Hearing the other party��s question, Luo An immediately gave a negative answer.


    Mr. Clement��s face stiffened, and Veranith frowned slightly when she saw this. When she was about to say something, Roan, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and added:


    "But those people from the Secret Service are chasing us now, and I trust their judgment more."


    Mr. Clement no longer hesitated after hearing this and immediately said:


    ��I��ll send someone to pick you up right away.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Hang up the phone, Mr. Clement was about to order Veranith, but Veranith said first:


    ��I have sent someone to pick up Team Leader Luo An and the others.��


    Mr. Clement glanced at Veranith in surprise, nodded without saying anything, turned around and took his secretary to the director''s office again.


    Knocking on the door and entering, Director Robert��s face darkened:


    ��You figured it out so quickly? What exactly happened?��


    Mr. Clement stepped forward, placed the folder on the director��s desk, and said:


    ��The Secret Service did not tell the truth. This matter actually has something to do with Speaker of Congress Mike Monroe.��


    ��What?��


    Hearing the word Speaker of Parliament, Director Robert was very surprised. He quickly picked up the folder and read it carefully.


    ?At the same time, on the other side, on a highway from New York to Washington, D.C., a van was driving quickly in front, followed closely by four SUVs, forming a beautiful scenery.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 600： Luo An was being chased, the police blocked the road

    Chapter 600 Luo An is being chased, the police block the road


    ??On a certain highway from New York to Washington, D.C., there was a lot of traffic, and all you could see were car heads and headlights.


    In the traffic flow that was moving forward at a constant speed, many passers-by and drivers drove forward calmly. Suddenly, a van moved left and right and passed by their car at high speed, which shocked them.


    ��Fu-k!��


    "what?"


    ��Jesus!��


    ?The van disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a rear taillight for them, causing many passers-by and drivers to look shocked and curse.


    Many grumpy old men wanted to catch up immediately and ask the owner of the van what he was doing driving so fast. Was he in a hurry to see God?


    ?There is a lot of traffic now, passers-by and drivers are angry, and there are not many people who are actually going to chase the van.


    ??Just a few grumpy guys silently took out guns from under the seats. If they saw the van again, they planned to give the van owner a few gifts.


    After saying a few greetings to the owner of the van, the passers-by and the driver continued to drive. At this moment, they suddenly saw four more SUVs rushing up in the rearview mirror!


    ����


    ��A van, how did that guy drive so fast?!��


    ??The driver in charge of driving had sweat on his forehead and said quickly with a ghostly expression on his face:


    ��Captain, our SUVs are too wide! It��s difficult to overtake!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ����


    The situation was obvious. These four SUVs were obviously heading towards the previous van. Although I don��t know exactly what happened, living in the Federation, everyone has developed a good habit of not asking too many questions.


    ��Don��t worry, trust my driving skills.��


    �C


    ?Four SUVs were lined up one behind the other, weaving in and out of the traffic and passing quickly. Within a few seconds, the passers-by and drivers were startled by them again.


    ?The passers-by and drivers cursed again, but while cursing, they silently erased the idea of ??competing with each other in racing cars, or chasing them and giving them a few gifts.


    ��Areyoukiddingme? (Are you kidding me?)��


    ?Hooknose knew this, so he didn''t scold the driver, but he still didn''t understand another thing:


    ? Luo An chuckled and gave Francisco a reassuring look in the rearview mirror.


    Compared with the 1.5-meter-wide vans, the width of their SUVs is about 1.8 meters, which is indeed much wider and makes it difficult to overtake.


    ��And there are so many people in the car. If the car overturns, you won��t be the only one injured. What are you afraid of?��


    At the same time, in the SUV at the front, a man with a hooked nose was sitting in the passenger seat. He looked at the van that was not getting closer, but was getting farther and farther away, his eyes filled with astonishment.


    ??The truck driver was still asleep and even snoring.


    Just as Francisco was about to speak, Luo An then passed a large truck and added:


    ?However, many passersby and drivers are still very curious, that is, they want to know what the van owner did. They admire his driving skills and despise the driver of the SUV. Four SUVs can''t catch up with a van.


    Francisco looked at the rapidly reversing figure outside the car window and the various overtaking postures of the van. His face was very pale with fright, and his thighs were shaking:


    ��Leader Luo An, can you slow down?��


    "damn it!"


    On the other side, in the van, Lacey in the passenger seat, Mona and Chenelle in the back seat, had become accustomed to Roan''s driving style, and just silently tightened their seat belts.


    Francisco��s lips were trembling and his face was speechless. Luo An stopped talking to him and looked at Lacey in the passenger seat and asked:


    ��Send a message to Verenis and ask when the person she sent will arrive.��


    ??Lacie pressed her phone a few times and quickly answered:


    ��She said it would take ten more minutes!��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An nodded, and several other people in the car also breathed a sigh of relief.


    At this moment, Luo An suddenly noticed that the cars on the road ahead had slowed down a lot. He frowned slightly and immediately asked:


    ��Mona, can you find out what happened on the road ahead? Was it a car accident or something else?��


    "It''s a temporary inspection!" Mona took out her laptop, moved her fingers quickly on it, and quickly found out the specific situation. She raised her head and said loudly:


    ��One minute ago, the police in Washington, D.C., set up a checkpoint!��


    ? Chenier quickly reacted and said urgently:


    "I''m afraid it''s the people the USSS is looking for! Their destination is to stop us!"


    ??The timing of the police''s appearance was so coincidental that Chenelle couldn''t help but think in this direction.


    ??Mona and Lacey also reacted. Seeing the road ahead where the speed of the car was getting slower and slower, and there was almost no room in the middle for overtaking, the girls suddenly became very anxious. Lacey hurriedly asked:


    "what should we do?"


    As the cars in front gradually stopped and the van became slower and slower, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the SUVs behind him that couldn''t get rid of the exhaust fumes. He quickly made a decision:


    ��Get off the car! Let��s go to the checkpoint!��


    "What?"


    The women were very surprised. Luo An didn''t explain much. He parked the van on the side of the road, got out of the van, opened the rear door, picked up the truck driver and walked quickly away.


    ?Mona, Lacey, and Chenelle looked puzzled, but they still pushed Francisco to follow them quickly.


    They didn''t go far when they saw the temporary checkpoint. Luo An threw the truck driver to the ground and signaled Mona and the others to stand there and wait. He walked towards the checkpoint alone.


    ��Hello, FBI.��


    ? Luo An took out his FBI gold badge to show his identity:


    ��Why was a temporary checkpoint set up?��


    The police chief next to him came over, stretched out his hand to Luo An, and introduced himself:


    ��My name is Roland.��


    ��Roan Greenwood.��


    Roan stretched out his hand and shook it. After the two briefly introduced their names, Sheriff Roland replied:


    ��We just received a notification that there is a suspicious person in this area and we need to check it out.��


    ?Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, and he did not discuss this topic further. After a few simple greetings, he said:


    ��My team members and I are on a mission and need to temporarily borrow your police car.��


    Luo An said that he would briefly discuss the matter with Roland''s superiors later. After seeing Luo An''s FBI golden badge and comparing it with the identification number on the badge, he confirmed that Luo An''s identity was correct, and Roland nodded in agreement.


    Luo An thanked him again, turned around and returned to a vehicle not far away, then carried the truck driver and Mona and the girls out.


    ??The three women pressed Francisco and got into a police car. As for the truck driver, under the astonished eyes of Chief Roland, Roan directly stuffed him into the trunk.


    ����


    ??Nodding to Chief Roland to express his gratitude, Roan got into the driver''s seat and drove the police car quickly away from the area.


    ??Looking at the checkpoint behind them getting smaller and smaller, Lacey and Mona looked at each other in confusion as they were still a little unresponsive. Francisco was extremely shocked, and Lacey asked in confusion:


    ��Luo An, do you know that policeman?��


    ��No, this is the first time we meet.��


    ??Luo An grinned and said that he had just put himself in his shoes. The people from the Secret Service didn''t want to make the matter a big deal, so they most likely just wanted to send the police to help stop him, but they didn''t really want the police to help arrest him.


    ?In this case, it was impossible for the Secret Service people to reveal the FBI identities of Luo An and others. The police officers most likely only knew that there was a suspicious person, and at most they knew that the suspicious person drove a van.


    So Luo An decided to leave the van and walk to the checkpoint, identify himself to the police, and borrow the police car openly.


    ??Luo An��s documents and identity were fine, and the Metropolitan Police would most likely be willing to lend him a car as a favor.


    When the Secret Service group arrived at the checkpoint, they were 100% angry and wanted to curse, but they couldn''t blame the police because they themselves had not revealed the identities of Luo An and others before.


    ? Lacey and Mona were full of admiration, Chenelle applauded repeatedly, and Francisco was dumbfounded. Facts have proved that Luo An��s inference was absolutely correct.


    Turn on the red and blue lights on the roof of the police car, turn on the alarm bell, and immediately give way to passers-by and cars on the road ahead.


    ??Luo An opened the car window, his hair was slightly messed up by the wind, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said softly:


    ��Lacie, contact Veranith and ask her to call the person back.


    Because of the help of the Secret Service, we should arrive early. "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 601： Office of the FBI Director, Facts and Analysis of the Case

    Chapter 601: Office of the FBI Director, Facts and Analysis of the Case


    ?At 4:30 in the afternoon, under Veranith��s shocked eyes, a police car with flashing red and blue lights slowly stopped in front of the gate of the FBI��s Washington headquarters.


    ��Good afternoon, sir.��


    After parking the car and getting out of the car, Luo An looked at the time, waved to Veranith and said with a smile:


    ��My calculation was correct, it was indeed a few minutes ahead of schedule.��


    ��You always surprise me.��


    Looking at Francisco being escorted out of Mona''s car, Veranis smiled.


    Just as he turned around and was about to lead a few people into the building, Luo An took out another white man from the trunk.


    After such a long time of tossing, the truck driver had woken up. When he opened his eyes and looked up to see the gate of the FBI headquarters in Washington, he suddenly froze in place.


    ��I remember, you said before that you didn��t know me.��


    ?Luo An patted the truck driver on the shoulder and said with a smile:


    ��This is the FBI headquarters. Think carefully about how you can prove that this statement is true later.


    Let me tell you secretly that deceiving federal agents is a felony. "


    ��When you answer the question later, tell the truth and answer the question.��


    Verineth nodded to Director Robert and Mr. Clement. Roan stood up and repeated:


    ��Director��s Office.��


    Looking at the backs of several people, the truck driver swallowed, put on an ugly smile on his face, looked at Chenelle and Lacey, and asked:


    ��Hello, sir.��


    At the same time, on the other side, Francisco was quickly taken away by Mr. Clement��s secretary and others, Mona returned to Investigation Team 13, and Roan entered the elevator with Veranith.


    The layout is a bit similar to that of the White House, with a big desk, a big sofa, and a big bookcase.


    Veranith tilted her head and glanced at Luo An, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then whispered:


    ��FBI Director Robert and Mr. Clement are waiting for you in the Director��s office.��


    Chenelle chuckled, and Lacey escorted the truck driver to the office area of ??Investigation Team 13. As she walked, she said:


    ��Since you think it��s a dream, let��s show you what the FBI headquarters in your dream looks like.��


    The memory of the last second was still on the street at the intersection. When he opened his eyes again, he arrived at the FBI headquarters. The truck driver felt that he might have eaten flour or smoked green organic leafy plants. He always felt that the world was a bit unreal, as if it was not real. .


    ��Yes, you are dreaming.��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows, and Veranith added:


    "Enter."


    ?The numbers stopped flashing, the elevator door opened, and the two walked in the corridor for a while. Veranith reached out and knocked on the door of an office.


    ?Looking at the numbers that kept jumping on the screen, Luo An was silent for a moment and asked:


    ��Sir, where are we going?��


    The difference is that behind the desk in the White House is a window, while in this office there is a wall behind the desk.


    With permission, the door opened. Luo An followed Veranith into the room. After a brief glance, he found that it was a quite large office.


    ��OK.��


    ��I��m dreaming, right?��


    ��Hello, sir.��


    ? Pushing the truck driver to Lacey and Chenelle, Roan and Mona followed Veranith and escorted Francisco into the building.


    Director Robert leaned back, crossed his hands on the table, and looked at the dignified and handsome Luo An in front of him. An imperceptible light flashed in his eyes.


    ??But seeing Mr. Clement who was silent on the side, Director Robert secretly thought it was a pity and said in a serious tone:


    ��Roan Greenwood, leader of Investigation Team 13, is a talented detective with a 100% crime detection rate.


    ?But I didn��t expect that you would make such a big mistake for me when we first met. "


    The words were critical, and Luo An''s heart moved slightly. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Mr. Clement was sitting firmly on the sofa with no change in his expression. Luo An was immediately relieved and replied:


    ��Sorry, sir.��


    ����


    ??The air in the office was quiet for a few seconds. Veranith turned to look at Luo An. Director Robert was also a little surprised. What happened after apologizing? Gone?


    At this moment, Mr. Clement coughed lightly and said: "Luo An, please introduce the situation of this case."


    ��Okay, sir.��


    ??Luo An nodded, starting from the discovery of the body, briefly describing the investigation of the serial murder case, preparing the arrest plan, and the subsequent situation where the Secret Service jumped out to pick peaches.


    Roan''s narration process was full of fascinating ups and downs. Veranith''s attention was completely attracted, her eyes were bright and full of admiration.


    Director Robert��s expression remained unchanged and he didn��t care too much about this, but asked:


    ��That Francisco, what is going on?��


    ��According to the interrogation, it was learned that he and Congress Speaker Mike Monroe are related.��


    Roan glanced at Mr. Clement calmly and said in a deep voice:


    ��To be precise, he is a distant cousin of Speaker of Congress Mike Monroe.��


    When Lacey and Chenelle led a raid on the manor before, they successfully arrested most of the members of the "organization". The remaining members were either dead or injured and had lost their ability to fight.


    In the serial murder case on the beach, the murderer was not a single person. They were all members who had submitted "letters of surrender" to prove themselves before joining the "organization".


    ?When these members killed innocent passers-by, there was a leader in the organization named Toby Henderson, who was responsible for surveillance and video recording, and recorded all their killings.


    ??The photos Mona found on the underground criminal website were actually screenshots of a certain murder video.


    The division of labor within the "organization" is clear. Toby Henderson is the leader responsible for managing the members of the "organization". In addition to him, there is also a leader responsible for the security of the "organization" and a leader responsible for removing their organs after the death of a "meat rabbit". leader, and a leader who sells organs.


    The top manager of the "organization" is Francisco. He is responsible for collecting and distributing money, controlling and managing the organization, and introducing and recruiting members.


    ��Francisco, real name Nacho Jones.


    ?His mother and the mother of Congress Speaker Mike Monroe are biological sisters. "


    ?Luo An then introduced:


    ��Fourteen years ago, when the ��unsolved�� serial killings were being investigated, Francisco was working in a church and Congress Speaker Mike Monroe was a state legislator.


    Later, when the FBI launched an arrest operation, Mike Monroe told Francisco the news in advance, allowing Francisco to successfully escape.


    ?After hiding his identity for a period of time, Francisco came to New York State, resumed his old business, established an "organization" and began to solicit business. "


    Director Robert pondered for a few seconds, leaned forward slightly, and asked:


    ��In the establishment of the ��organization��, was the Speaker of the National Assembly involved?��


    "unconfirmed."


    ?Luo An shook his head. He had not found out about this matter, and then said:


    ��However, in the next ten years or so, the organization developed slowly and cautiously, but the quality of its members has always been very high, and they were either rich people or politicians.


    Francisco also obtained a lot of shady account books, videos, audio recordings, surveillance videos and other information.


    ??As for Mike Monroe''s official career, it has been smooth sailing since the establishment of the "organization". He has made almost no mistakes for more than ten years, and has made great progress all the way, successfully sitting on the position of Speaker of Congress. "


    ??The subtext in Luo An��s words is not difficult to understand. Things in politics are complicated and no one can win all the time.


    And Mike Monroe started as a state representative and won all the way for more than ten years.


    ??If you say that the things here have nothing to do with Francisco, Luo An will definitely not believe it.


    Director Robert tapped his fingers on the table, glanced at Mr. Clement calmly, and then asked:


    ��Where are those videos, ledgers and the like?��


    ��It hasn��t been found out yet, sir.��


    Luo An shook his head and said that he and others were chased all the way by the guys from the Secret Service and had no time to interrogate them carefully.


    ?Coupled with the fact that those items were reserved by Francisco for his own use in exchange for his life, it was impossible for him to answer in a short time.


    Director Robert was about to continue asking. At this moment, the phone next to his desk suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, and the voice of the director��s secretary sounded:


    ��Sir, there��s a call from the Secret Service. Did you get through?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 602： The man behind the truck driver

    Chapter 602 The man behind the truck driver


    ��Secret Service phone number����


    A coldness flashed in Director Robert''s eyes, and he glanced at Luo An at the desk calmly. Director Robert admired Luo An very much in terms of ability, thinking, methods, etc. He was a very outstanding talent.


    ��What a pity, he is Clement��s man.��


    Director Robert shook his head inwardly, pressed the landline phone button without letting go, and said to Mr. Clement, Veranith and Roan:


    "Francisco himself, I will send someone to deal with it. Luo An, you can lead someone to handle the follow-up work of that "organization", and you can leave."


    ��Okay, sir.��


    Roan and Vrynis nodded. Mr. Clement stood up and took them away. The moment the office door closed, Director Robert let go of the phone button and said:


    ��Get the Secret Service call in.��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    ?At the same time, in the corridor, Mr. Clement��s face was no longer expressionless, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.


    He tapped Luo An twice with his hand and said appreciatively:


    ��Luo An, you did a good job in this operation.��


    ��Properly handle the follow-up work of the ��organization�� case and follow the procedures. It doesn��t matter if it takes longer.��


    ��They were taken for questioning by the Ministry of Supervision.��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    In other words, the two people have the same overall interests within the FBI, but their personal interests may go in different directions.


    ??But Mr. Clement himself is too tall and inappropriate, and Veranith''s level is just right. Even if no one comes to her deliberately for this matter, she is also capable of handling the aftermath of the incident.


    Mr. Clement frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Veranith.


    Veranith was also smiling, her eyes filled with pride. Although Francisco was taken away by the director''s men, Luo An, who snatched him back from the Secret Service, was the one who deserved the most credit.


    "I see."


    ?Seeing Veranith step up and take responsibility, Mr. Clement nodded with satisfaction. Then he looked at Roan again and said:


    ?There are many implications behind this case, and some of Luo An��s mistakes during handling the case may actually be major or minor.


    Luo An didn��t say too many modest words and smiled. Then he remembered something and asked:


    Roan nodded in agreement, and Mr. Clement gave a few instructions before leaving with his secretary.


    After a pause, Mr. Clement may have felt that his tone was a bit light, then he nodded heavily and said:


    "very good!"


    Veranith reacted instantly, put away the smile on her face, and said in a deep voice:


    ��That��s my order, sir.��


    ��Department of Supervision?��


    ??This matter is a violation of the order anyway, plus he beat up the Secret Service agent before. Although Luo An is not particularly worried about being severely punished, he still needs to ask.


    ?Looking at Mr. Clement��s back and recalling the previous conversation in the director��s office, Luo An discovered that Director Robert and Mr. Clement were most likely not from the same camp.


    When mentioning this matter, Veranis suddenly became cold-faced, saying that she only found out about it later, and immediately went to the Supervision Department to bring the two of them out.


    ��Sir, the previous order was to take action tomorrow, and I captured the person today����


    Luo An''s level is still not high enough, Mr. Clement means to let the taller man resist.


    Veranith took Luo An into the elevator. When the numbers flashed, Luo An asked:


    ��Sir, what happened to the two agents Michelle and Winslow from my investigation team who lost contact?��


    Luo An''s face darkened, and he didn''t understand why the Supervision Department coincidentally appeared at that time.


    ��This matter may have something to do with Antoine, the director of the Office of Professional Responsibility, who has good relations with some Jews in the Secret Service.��


    Verenis lowered her voice and said:


    ��I also found out the reason why your name was heard by the president, Luo An, because Antoine praised you repeatedly at some cocktail parties, dinners and other places, which attracted a lot of people��s attention to you.


    I haven��t found out his purpose yet. If you encounter something wrong later, you must contact me in time. "


    ??Luo An''s eyes flashed with a faint light, and he whispered:


    ��I understand, sir.�� ???? Ding��


    ?The numbers stopped flashing, the elevator door opened, and Veranith finally said:


    "Organize the follow-up of this case. Don''t be too hasty when dealing with it. Slow down and take a long time."


    "clear."


    Roan smiled and nodded. Mr. Clement also said the same thing just now. He and Veranith had the same idea. This case is quite special. The longer the case is handled, the better the credit will be.


    ?Just like the work in some departments, if you complete a task that takes three days to complete in one day of overtime, you will not get any benefits except a few simple compliments, but will get more work.


    Roan returned to the office area of ??Investigation Team 13. At this time, there were only Michelle, Mona and Winslow in the room. Chenelle and Lacey were still "chatting" with the truck driver in the interrogation room.


    Roan looked at Winslow and Michelle and asked:


    ��Are you okay?��


    "fine."


    The two shook their heads. Less than ten minutes after they were taken away by the Ministry of Supervision, Veranith rushed over. Winslow smiled and said that his buttocks were not even hot from sitting, and he was taken away from there.


    Without discussing the matter too much, Luo An briefly chatted for a few words before preparing to go to New York again.


    People from the previous "organization" were arrested. After the Secret Service took over, they didn''t do much. They just threw the group of people into the temporary prison of the New York Police Department. Luo An and the others now need to bring those people out for interrogation.


    ?While everyone was packing their things, Chenelle and Lacey walked out of the interrogation room, their expressions a bit unhappy.


    ?? Luo An was changing clothes in the team leader��s office before she came out, Mona asked quickly:


    ��What did the trial reveal? Who is the boss behind the truck driver?��


    ��Is a businessman.��


    ??Lacie threw the interrogation record on the table. Chenelle sat back, turned on the computer, entered a name in the browser, and quickly pulled up a photo. She spread her hands:


    ��That��s him, the guy who always appears in various charity galas and charity news.��


    "Wow."


    ?Looking at the photo of a white man wearing a suit and with a slicked back hair who looked sanctimonious, Winslow and Michelle''s eyes flashed with disdain.


    ?Mona thought for a while and then asked:


    ��So, this truck driver is not the same group as the guys who kidnapped Francisco when Luo An and I were chasing Francisco?��


    A total of four groups of people appeared during the entire operation.


    ?One group is the FBI and SWAT team headed by Luo An, and the other group is the guys from the Secret Service.


    ??There was also a group of people including a truck driver who tried to intercept Roan and Mona, and a man in a striped suit who successfully caught Francisco in the process, but was defeated by Roan.


    "no."


    Lacie shook her head:


    ��The truck driver said he didn��t know the guys at all.��


    ��Sent by another person?��


    ?Mona was a little speechless and counted with her fingers:


    ��We are going to capture Francisco and find out the truth; Francisco is going to escape; the Secret Service is going to seize and suppress this case; the truck driver is going to stop us��


    ??The guys in the striped suit kidnapped Francisco, were they planning to take him to meet someone? "


    ��They will know if they look back and review it.��


    Lacie smiled:


    ��Anyway, Luo An has caught them before.��


    ��Bad news, everyone.��


    At this moment, Luo An, who had changed his clothes, walked out of the team leader��s office, shook the phone in his hand, and said:


    ��The men in the striped suit have died in the hospital.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 603： The dead man in suit and others, interrogation, unexpected clues

    Chapter 603: The dead man in suit and others, interrogation, unexpected clues


    ��What?��


    "died?!"


    ?Winslow and Michelle looked shocked, Chenelle and Mona were very surprised, and Lacey asked hurriedly:


    ��How did you die?��


    ��Being poisoned to death.��


    ? Luo An put away his phone and explained:


    ��There were 12 people in the group of men in striped suits. I killed 6 of them and arrested 6 of them.


    ?The Secret Service later intervened in the matter and took away the six people, but their real target was Francisco and they did not pay much attention to these people.


    ??When these six people were sent to the hospital for treatment of their wounds, a quick-death agent was added to the medicine bottles, and they died in the hospital. "


    ��Damn Secret Service.��


    Chenelle and Mona looked at each other and noticed another thing:


    ??Anyway, I will gain a lot afterwards, now I just need to wait quietly.


    "clear!"


    ??The "organization" established by Francisco was not very large in scale, but its members had a clear division of labor and each performed their own duties. Everyone had their own work content.


    ?Winslow and Lacey immediately started to curse. They felt that the Secret Service was annoying and useless in this case.


    When everyone arrived in New York, it was already past seven in the evening. They went to the temporary prison for a brief inspection and found that everything was normal. After a busy day, the agents went back to rest for a night before starting to work again the next day.


    The next day, at nine o''clock in the morning, the agents of Investigation Team No. 13 interrogated two people first.


    ??The truck driver was sent to the temporary prison at the FBI''s Washington headquarters. Michelle was left behind by Luo An in Investigation Team 13, mainly responsible for monitoring the truck driver to prevent him from being shot in the back and committing suicide.


    They are the leader responsible for removing the organs of the "Meat Rabbits" after they die, a guy nicknamed "Doctor Tony".


    Roan shook his head and said that Francisco had been taken away by FBI Director Robert''s people. There must be someone behind the man in the striped suit. Now that they are dead, the incident has been included in the investigation and handling by the director''s people.


    The affairs of the people behind the top management of the ��organization�� have nothing to do with us for the time being. "


    When the arrest operation was carried out later, the Secret Service, truck drivers, men in striped suits and others came out to cause trouble.


    ��Next, are we going to investigate the murderer of the man in the striped suit?��


    ��No, we don��t have to worry about it.��


    ?Luo An has no interest in high-level political games and exchange of interests, nor does he care about the specific content.


    Hearing Roan''s words, Winslow, Lacey, and Chenelle suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.


    ?Now the striped suit and others are dead again...


    ?Picked up the coffee and took a sip, Luo An said quietly:


    ��Our next main task is to deal with the follow-up work of the ��organization��, such as information about the murderer of the serial murder case and the murderer of the organ trade.


    ??The rest of the people packed up their things and drove to New York again with Luo An.


    ��OK!��


    ?Winslow and Lacey also reacted, and then felt tired:


    Because of a serial murder case, the existence of the "organization" was discovered.


    And the leader in charge of human organ sales, Zemina.


    ?Learning that Francisco, the founder of the "organization", had been arrested and was under the custody of people at the FBI headquarters, "Doctor Tony" and Zemina did not hesitate long and told everything they knew.


    In their narratives, the work within the ��organization�� is orderly:


    Francisco is responsible for recruiting and attracting members to participate in "entertainment activities" within the "organization", such as watching others kill people, or members killing people themselves to experience the "fun" of killing.


    Considering that the members are all "decent people", the people they kill naturally cannot be the "dregs" of society, such as homeless people, death row prisoners, etc., which are so "disgraceful".


    ?So the "organization" will buy normal "meat rabbits" in the underground world that are healthy, have decent status, and are free of infectious diseases.


    After all, such people are rare, so there are many "second-level businessmen" like Innis-Heller on the periphery of the "organization", who are responsible for collecting "meat rabbits" from everywhere and then selling them to the "organization".


    After the "meat rabbits" died, the bodies were sent to the "processing room" at the back, and "Doctor Tony" would lead people to process their bodies and remove their hearts, kidneys, corneas and other organs.


    The funds obtained from organ trafficking were handed over to Francisco, who used the money, together with the membership dues paid by members when they entered the "organization", to distribute salaries, bonuses, and maintain the operation of the organization.


    After the interrogation, the two were taken out of the interrogation room by Lacey and Winslow. Chenelle looked at the organ sales channels, big organ buyers and other information in the notes, and her face was very ugly:


    ��We discovered a huge underground criminal empire.�� Luo An rubbed his temples, pondered for a few seconds, and said:


    ��Send this information to Veranith later.��


    ?In the interrogation just now, Zemina, who is in charge of organ trafficking, said that the "organization" sells a lot of human organs every month, but to the organ buyer, the organs they sell are just a fraction.


    This means that in the federal underworld, there is a fairly large market for buying and selling human organs, as well as an organized criminal network.


    ??However, the No. 13 Investigation Team did not have time or enough manpower to investigate this kind of matter, so it was best to report the information to Veranith and let her decide how to deal with it.


    ?Chenelle nodded and put a note on her notebook. Not long after, Winslow and Lacey walked into the interrogation room with another person.


    ??The other person is a white man with slightly brown hair, a short cut, a strong figure and bulging muscles. He looks very untouchable, but he has a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.


    ?It is within the "organization" that the leader, Toby Henderson, is responsible for managing, judging the members of the "organization", and deciding whether others can join the "organization".


    ��Good morning, Mr. Henderson.��


    After interrogating two people in succession, Luo An��s mouth was a little dry. He picked up the coffee and took a sip. He looked at the other person and said:


    ��It seems you had a good sleep last night.��


    "Well enough."


    ? Toby Henderson smiled, his hands were handcuffed to the interrogation table, he crossed his legs sideways and asked:


    ��It seems that the doctor and the woman have answered your questions.��


    The doctor and woman he was talking about were Tony and Zemina.


    ??Didn''t answer his question, he picked up the coffee pot and poured Chenelle a cup of coffee, and poured another cup for Toby Henderson. Roan asked directly:


    ��Francisco has been taken away by people from our headquarters. Is there anything you want to say?��


    Toby Henderson asked:


    "What do you want to know?"


    ��The operation of the organization, the list of people in the organization who have killed people, their videos, recordings and other information.��


    "sure, no problem."


    ? Toby Henderson nodded and everyone agreed, but he did not immediately explain the specific situation, but made his own request:


    ��I want a certificate of innocence.��


    ?Luo An smiled:


    ��You know, it��s impossible.��


    ��No, I think the chance is very high.��


    Toby Henderson crossed his arms, raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Luo An and said:


    "I am indeed a manager of the "organization", but I have never killed anyone."


    Chenier frowned slightly when she heard this. Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he asked with a smile:


    ��According to our investigation, we found that those who died on the beach were killed by your men.��


    ��No, no, no.��


    Toby Henderson shook his head repeatedly and said:


    ��You are mistaken. Those people were not killed by me. They were killed by members who wanted to join the ��organization��. I never shot at them.


    And to be honest, I feel very sorry for the victims and I am willing to apologize. "


    ��But those victims, as well as the members who wanted to join the organization, were all brought there by you, and the pit was dug by you.��


    ??Roan sat on the interrogation table, looked at Toby Henderson condescendingly, and said:


    ��You are a murderer by all laws.��


    ��I am at most an accomplice. I am not the one who holds the gun with my own hands.��


    ? Toby Henderson didn��t panic at all. He leaned back, looked up at Luo An, raised the corners of his mouth, and said:


    ��Also, I heard that you are investigating a serial murder case related to a super girl, and the murderer has not been found yet.


    Just in time, I know who that guy is. "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 604： Boss bargaining, clue investigation

    Chapter 604: Boss bargaining, clue investigation


    ?New York, 11:30 noon, an office, interrogation room.


    ��I know the identity of the serial killer.��


    ? Toby Henderson looked up at Luo An, smiled, and made his request:


    ��Give me a not-guilty agreement and I��ll tell you who that guy is.��


    ??Hearing Toby Henderson''s request, Chenelle''s face looked very ugly.


    ??Investigation Team 13 has been investigating the serial murder case targeting street workers for a long time. Some suspects have indeed been found, but there are still things that have not been thoroughly investigated.


    ??Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, still sitting on the interrogation table, looking down at Toby Henderson, and calmly asked a question:


    ��How can I tell whether what you say is true or false?


    ??If you just name it casually, wouldn��t I be at a big loss? "


    ?At this time Toby Henderson frowned:


    "What do you want?"


    ?Luo An asked:


    ��If your news is true, I definitely want it.��


    ��If the news is false, I will...��


    I find it hard to believe you, Mr. Henderson, in this case. "


    ��But what if your news is false?��


    "so."


    ��I was driving to the beach one time and happened to see a man driving a woman with heavy makeup.


    ��Do you think I��m a fool, Captain Greenwood?��


    ��We at the FBI follow rules, you have to trust us.��


    ��In other words, you didn��t see the other person��s killing process, and you don��t have any evidence in your hand. You just simply doubted that person.


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    ?Seeing that the other party paused in speaking, Luo An''s eyes flashed and he put forward his own suggestion:


    ��You tell me that person��s name first, and we��ll check the other person��s suspicion.


    ??If I tell the person''s name and you identify the murderer based on this clue, but you turn around and don''t admit that I helped, what should I do? "


    Toby Henderson spreads his hands:


    Toby Henderson smiled coldly and asked:


    ��You don��t trust me, and I don��t trust you.


    Toby Henderson looked uncertain, and finally leaned back on his chair and asked:


    "Anyway, I know the identity and name of that guy. Do you want it?"


    The woman died not long after, and I also learned her status as a superwoman, so I knew who that person was. "


    ��That��s your FBI��s business, I��m not the FBI.��


    ??If the other party is indeed the serial killer in that case, we will come back and thank you. "


    "You said you know who the serial killer is. Do you have any evidence to prove that he committed the murder?"


    ?Luo An shook his head:


    Halfway through speaking, Toby Henderson suddenly frowned slightly, as if something was wrong.


    ?Luo An shook his head repeatedly and said:


    ��I said I would thank you, so I will definitely thank you and I will never lie to you.��


    Toby Henderson still has the original request:


    ��No, you have to give me a pardon first.��


    ��Say that person��s name first.��


    ������x2


    ?Roan and Toby Henderson just looked at each other quietly without speaking, and the interrogation room was quiet.


    After a pause for a few seconds, Luo An stood up and waved to Chenelle:


    "Come on, let''s go out first and let Mr. Henderson think about my proposal."


    Chenelle stood up and walked out of the interrogation room with Luo An. The moment the door closed, Chenelle immediately approached Luo An and asked in a low voice:


    ��If Toby Henderson does name the murderer later, do we really want to give him a no-guilt deal?��


    ??Luo An glanced at Cheniel:


    ��Are you kidding me?��


    Chenelle was stunned for a moment:


    ��But you just said you wanted to thank him.��


    ��Thanking him doesn��t mean giving him an agreement, just saying ��thank you�� to him is enough.��


    Luo An crossed his arms over his chest and said calmly: "Toby Henderson has been working in the "organization" for so many years. As the leader of the management members, it is impossible that he has not killed anyone, but we haven''t found any concrete evidence yet. .


    ??Prison is the destination for this kind of person, and that small box is his permanent home. An acquittal agreement is simply impossible. "


    Chenelle agreed with what Luo An said next, and then asked:


    ��But what about the serial murderer?��


    ��The murderer must be found, but the clues do not necessarily have to be found in Toby Henderson.��


    ??Roan patted Chenelle on the shoulder. She was too focused on the murderer, and her mind was not very clear, so she subconsciously ignored a lot of things.


    Without explaining much, Luo An strode towards the office area and asked:


    ��Lacie, where are the ��vouchers�� for members before joining the ��organization��, that is, the murder video recorded by Toby Henderson?��


    ��The big cardboard box next to it is full of video tapes.��


    Lacey pointed to the large cardboard box on another desk not far away and asked:


    "What''s wrong?"


    Roan briefly explained the situation just described by Toby Henderson, and then said:


    ��Toby Henderson said he was driving to the beach when he met a man driving a girl.


    We are not sure now whether that person is really the murderer, but that guy is highly suspicious.


    What we have to do now is to find the specific time when Toby Henderson went to the beach, and then compare and check the movements of the dozen suspects Mona had found before, and see if there are any Route or time overlap. "


    Snapped-


    ��That��s right!��


    Winslow and Mona''s eyes lit up when they heard this. Lacey clapped her hands together and said excitedly:


    ��As long as a certain guy��s route or time matches up, he is most likely to be the murderer of that serial murder case!��


    ?Chenny, who was standing next to her, was suddenly enlightened and understood the logic of the matter in an instant.


    ??Looking at Luo An with admiration, she quickly walked over and picked up a video tape like everyone else, returned to her seat and started watching it.


    ??The video footage in the videotape is a bit cruel. They are scenes of someone kneeling and struggling while another person stands behind the person with a pistol and pulls the trigger to end the person''s life.


    ? ? Selectively ignoring the content of the video for the time being, all the detectives focused their attention on the lower left corner of the video recording.


    ? ?The video equipment used by Toby Henderson is older, and the picture quality is far from the clear standard of 720p, but it all has automatic time and date displays.


    ?Roann, Mona, Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle were each responsible for several rolls of videotapes, and soon recorded all the dates of these murder videos.


    ??After a brief sorting, the time points of these murder videos were collected on a piece of paper, and Luo An handed it to Mona:


    ��The next step is up to you.��


    "no problem!"


    ??Mona smiled, waved the "OK" gesture in her hand at Luo An, tapped the keyboard a few times, and pulled up the photos of the 14 male suspects she had found before.


    The next work content is to compare one by one where the 14 men were at the time of the incident, what they were doing, and who was around them.


    Since there was a lot to compare, Chenelle and Lacey also joined Mona��s team and started to help.


    ?Time moved forward minute by minute, and more than two hours passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Toby Henderson insisted on asking Roan to provide him with a innocence agreement, so he was taken back to the temporary prison by Winslow.


    ?More than three hours passed, and it was after 5 p.m. before Mona and the others completed the investigation.


    ��It��s almost done, but there��s a problem.��


    ??Took a big bite of the gravy steak that Luo An bought, and Mona said while eating:


    ��Many of these videos were taken seven or eight years ago, or even more than ten years ago, which is too long.


    The 14 suspects I found before had different family backgrounds.


    ?More than ten years ago, some of them were still in college after fourteen years, some had just dropped out of school and came out to work, and some had been struggling in society for several years.


    Many of their itineraries, work records, actions, etc. during this period cannot be found. "


    Chenelle nodded, and Lacey glanced at Luo An, who was checking the results next to him, with the steak in his mouth, and asked:


    "How about we go on-site to investigate? We can definitely find out something."


    "Need not."


    Looking at the information on the computer, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��I seem to have found the guy who likes to attack form workers.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 605： suspect, fishing law enforcement

    Chapter 605 Suspect, Fishing Law Enforcement


    "found it?"


    Winslow and Chenelle in the office were very surprised when they heard the words spoken by Roan. Lacey was a little surprised. Mona quickly wiped her hands and moved to her computer and asked:


    ��Which guy is it? Why didn��t I notice it just now?��


    ??Luo An pointed at a white man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, no hair, but he looked very handsome, and said:


    ��The guy in the middle, first row.��


    ?Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey also quickly stopped eating and quickly came over.


    ??Mona investigated information about white men and introduced:


    ��Adeen Crane, 54 years old, a partner in a real estate company, holds a PhD in finance, is in good economic condition, and is married to Aubrey Crane, with whom he has two daughters����


    After Mona��s introduction, Lacey looked at his behavior when the murder video occurred, looked puzzled, and asked:


    ��Luo An, why do you suspect that he is the murderer?


    ??When Edin Crane and Toby Henderson filmed the murders, the time overlapped with the last few videos in 2003 three years ago.


    ?Car driving records show that Aiden Crane did not go to the beach that night. "


    ��No, you forgot one thing.��


    ?Luo An shook his head and said:


    ��Do you remember the profile given by the behavioral analysis department before?


    First, white male, aged around 40-55 years old.


    Second, the suspect is married or has a girlfriend and is highly educated.


    Third, the financial situation is good and there is a second means of transportation in addition to the means of transportation used to go to work on weekdays.


    ��My wife is not at home, this guy Edyn Crane left his two daughters at home, went out to find the superior girl, and then killed him?��


    ��Yili, female, 20 years old.


    ��This is an important reason why I doubt Edwin Crane.��


    Sofia, female, 22 years old����


    Fourth, psychological or emotional state, which has been suppressed for a long time. "


    There were 12 victims in total. Lacey only read part of it briefly. Winslow next to her noticed something and her eyes widened instantly:


    ��In addition to Edin Crane��s own car, his wife also has a car and his two daughters also have one each.


    Cleo, female, 19 years old.


    Kate, female, 22 years old.


    Charles, male, 21 years old.


    ��That��s right.��


    Roan sneered, took the photos and information of the victims of illegal work in the first serial murder case from Chenelle''s table, handed them to Lacey, and said:


    ��Pay attention to the age of these victims.��


    Chenelle next to her looked cold and accepted Winslow''s words:


    ��Just about the same age as Adern Crane��s two daughters.��


    Chenelle suddenly understood, and Mona also remembered this matter. After typing on the keyboard a few times, she found out the situation of Adern Crane��s car:


    Selina, female, 20 years old.


    ��But records show that both of Adern Crane��s daughters were at home that night.��


    ??At the time when the murder video occurred, Aidan Crane''s wife happened to be on a business trip, and he was able to drive his wife''s car. "


    Lacie still has some questions:


    ��Although these women are all around 20 years old, they actually look a little younger than their real age.


    And a little younger than 20 years old..."


    ?Luo An nodded, pointed to the profile again and said:


    ��If we look away from the murder videos and look at the death times of the 12 victims, we can find one thing:


    ?Each time a new victim died, Aidan Crane''s wife was away on business or for other reasons.


    There are only Adeen Crane and Adeen Crane''s two daughters in the family.


    The fourth item of the profile shows that the murderer��s psychological or emotional state has been suppressed for a long time.


    The word "long-term depression" is very interesting, isn''t it? "


    After hearing Luo An��s words, Lacey took a breath:


    ��You mean, Adern Crane treats his daughter...��


    ��This is the Federation, this is normal.��


    ? Luo An patted Lacey on the shoulder. Global human trafficking profits are approximately US$150 billion every year. The Commonwealth is one of the largest destinations for human trafficking and the largest consumer of child pornography.


    Looking at the photo of Adern Crane��s family of four on the computer, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: ��Whether Adern Crane has done anything to his daughter is unknown for the time being.


    ?But I guess he most likely has not, and his reason and desire have been torturing him.


    ? It is for this reason that when his wife left, Edwin Crane drove to the streets to find a replacement who looked like his daughter.


    ?After the deed was done, the sense of ethical guilt would come back to him, so Adern Crane went to kill the women. "


    ?The well-known Luo* Island incident in later generations fully illustrates the dog-like and sanctimonious nature of the federal upper class.


    ��Everyone, there��s one more thing.��


    When the office area was quiet, Mona suddenly spoke, attracting everyone''s attention.


    After typing a few keys on the keyboard, Mona investigated a consumption record and a death list:


    ��When the two daughters had their birthdays, Adern Crane bought them a certain type of doll, which was the same type of doll as the hair strands found on the victim��s body by the Trace Inspection Unit.


    ?In addition, Adern Crane also had three dogs at home, one of which was a Labrador, which was the same breed of dog as the dog hair found by the trace inspection department.


    ??The dog died of old age a year ago and was buried in the backyard of Adern Crane''s house. "


    ��Wow, so many coincidences.��


    Chenelle sneered, Winslow clenched his fists, and Lacey was too lazy to continue talking. She looked directly at Roan and asked:


    ��When are we going to arrest people?��


    Looking at the information on the computer, Luo Anchen pondered for a few seconds and slowly shook his head:


    ��Can��t be caught at the moment.��


    Lacey��s eyes widened, and Luo An explained quietly:


    ��The evidence we have is not enough.��


    ??Adern Crane is in a favorable economic situation and has plenty of money. He is able to hire one of the best lawyers in New York City to defend himself.


    ??The only physical evidence in the hands of Investigation Team 13 is dog hair, hair from dolls, and Aubrey Crane''s wife''s car driving record.


    But these things are not key evidence. The lawyers have many excuses. For example, the dog hair is a coincidence. Aubrey Crane sees many people every day. It is impossible to say which person has a few dog hairs stuck to him. .


    This doll is not uncommon, and the hair does not prove anything.


    "this��"


    ?After listening to Luo An��s analysis, Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey reacted immediately, and then frowned. Mona��s face was ugly. After pondering for a few seconds, she tentatively asked:


    ��How about we go fishing?��


    Winslow and the other three��s eyes lit up as they understood what Mona meant by ��fishing��.


    ?For example, if the "performance" of a certain local police station does not meet the standard in a certain month, some beautiful female police officers will sometimes be dispatched to walk on the street and flirt with each other in very fancy clothes.


    When he met the driver who came to ask for a price, the policemen who were ambushing around him immediately swarmed in and arrested him.


    ?? Even bigger, a certain local police in the federal territory actually opened a first-class hospital and successfully trapped more than 100 drifters...


    In the East, fishing law enforcement is illegal and inconsistent with regulations.


    ??However, in the federation, fishing law enforcement is not only legal, but also quite common. It has always been regarded as a sharp weapon in the hands of the police. It has been tried and tested and it is always accurate.


    Hearing Mona��s suggestion, Lacey immediately became energetic, quickly formulated a plan, and introduced:


    ��We can find a way to get Aidan Crane��s wife out of the house on a business trip. Aidan Crane is alone at home and is likely to commit another crime.


    ??We just need to find a beautiful, "childish" female agent, and ambush him on his path in advance to attract him.


    After Edin Crane took the detective into the car, we followed him all the way. When he was about to kill someone, we swarmed him..."


    ��No.��


    Before Lacey could finish her words, Luo An interrupted her with a serious face:


    ��We can��t bet on the female agent��s life, accidents can easily happen, and this method won��t work.��


    "But��"


    ??? Lacey wanted to say something else, but finally stopped slowly under Luo An''s stern eyes.


    ?Mona looked at Luo An:


    ��Then what should we do next?��


    Luo An pondered for a few seconds and asked:


    ��Do you remember the victims�� cell phones?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 606： Time and process of committing the crime

    Chapter 606: Time and process of committing the crime


    ?New York, one o''clock in the afternoon, an office area.


    "cell phone?"


    Roan��s question was raised, and Chenelle was the first to react and replied:


    ��Are you referring to the fact that after the street workers died, the murderer took their mobile phones and called their relatives and friends?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An nodded, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked:


    ��I remember that except for the first five deceased people, because they died so long ago, I couldn��t find their phone information.


    For the remaining seven victims, their relatives or friends all received calls from the murderer after their deaths. "


    ��Indeed it is.��


    Winslow turned around and picked up a document from the desk beside him, and then added:


    ��We also found the location where the murderer made the phone call, which was in a park on Long Island, New York.


    However, that park has a large flow of people and has not yet been monitored, so we previously suspended the investigation in this area. "


    ��Luo An, you just mentioned the mobile phone, do you have any thoughts?��


    ??? Before Roan could continue to speak, Mona thought of something first, interrupted Winslow and asked:


    ��Where is the specific location of that park?��


    ��Adern Crane was very cautious and did not leave many traces at the crime scene, and there was no white genetic material on the body.


    ??Mona crossed her arms over her chest, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said:


    ??The park where the murderer made the phone call has a villa area about 300 meters to the south.


    ? Chenier nodded, then turned to look at Luo An:


    ???If this guy Edyn Crane is not a murderer, then I might go to the church to worship God. He must exist, and there are too many coincidences in the arrangement. "


    ��The white skin color is correct, the identity, occupation, and economic situation are correct, the vehicle and time are correct, the psychological analysis is correct, and now even the real estate is correct.


    ?While speaking, Mona started typing on the keyboard. Winslow was a little confused, but still told the specific location of the park.


    A cold look appeared on Lacey''s face. She counted on her fingers:


    ??Adern Crane is very rich and can afford a high-end lawyer. With just some of the evidence we have, it is impossible to send him to a small cell in prison with 100% certainty. "


    ��The suspect Edwin Crane and his wife own several properties in the city of New York.


    ��Wait a minute, Winslow.��


    ��It��s the same problem, we currently lack key evidence.��


    Soon, Mona finished typing on the keyboard. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, sneered, and said:


    Hearing this, Winslow, Lacey and Mona quickly turned their attention to Luo An. Luo An was holding the folder and thinking with his head down. After a few seconds of silence, he raised his head and said:


    ��I��m thinking about something.


    Investigation records show that the murderer used the victim��s mobile phone and after calling the victim��s relatives and friends, the phone completely lost contact and no one could get through.


    ?So, where are these phones now? "


    ��Everyone, I found a new clue.��


    ��Wow, so many coincidences.��


    ??In this villa area, there happens to be a house named Adern Crane. "


    A flash of light flashed in her mind, and Lacey''s eyes widened instantly:


    ��Is it being collected by Ed En Crane?��


    "Probably!"


    Chenelle and Winslow nodded repeatedly, and Mona also said quickly:


    ��Most serial killers have their own unique habits, such as leaving special symbols and marks at the scene.


    ??If Adern Crane is really the murderer of this case, he has killed 12 street workers, and it is impossible for him to have no unique habits at all.


    ??And if you like to collect the victim��s mobile phone, this possibility is very high! "


    ??Lacie nodded repeatedly to express her agreement with Mona''s words, and looked at Luo An with excitement:


    ��Luo An, let��s raid the villa next to the park!��


    "Not urgent."


    ??Roan put his hand on Lacey''s shoulders, pushed her back onto the chair, turned to look at Mona, and asked:


    ��Can you find out when Adern Crane last visited that villa?�� ????��Easy!��


    ?? Mona gave an "OK" gesture to Luo An, indicating that the villa area was very high-end and had complete surveillance facilities, making it very easy to investigate.


    Within ten minutes, Mona investigated the specific situation:


    ��The last time Edin Crane went to that villa area was March 1, 2006, which was the first day of the month last month.��


    Chenier��s eyes moved, she reached out and grabbed the folder next to her, opened it and read aloud the introduction:


    ��The latest corpse named Lanrisa was discovered on March 14 (Chapter 576).


    The autopsy report of the trace examination department showed that the body died two weeks ago, about 14-16 days ago. "


    ��Don��t forget that phone number.��


    Winslow shook the folder in his hand and said seriously:


    ��Shortly after Lanrisa disappeared, one of her relatives received a call from the murderer.


    That call was made on March 1st! "


    "And one more thing."


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard a few times, raised her head and added:


    ��Adeen Crane��s wife Aubrey Crane left New York on a business trip on February 24th and did not return by plane until March 11th.


    From February 26th to March 3rd, Adern Crane��s two daughters happened to go home temporarily due to some matters. "


    ��Everything connects!��


    Lacie��s face flushed with excitement:


    ��On February 24, my wife Aubrey Crane went on a business trip and everything was normal.


    February 26, when the two daughters returned home temporarily, Adern Crane had evil thoughts in his heart again.


    On the night of February 27 or 28, Edwin Crane left home in his wife''s car and met Lanrisa on the street.


    ?Lanrissa was tricked into getting into the car and had **** with Aiden Crane who was wearing protective gear.


    After the incident was over, Adern Crane killed Lanrisa, then cleaned up the scene and left the beach.


    ??On March 1, Adern Crane went to the villa area near the park, took Lan Risa''s mobile phone in the park, and called Lan Risa''s relatives.


    ? Records show that Lanrisa��s relatives later called the police, but due to the nature of Lanrisa��s work, the police did not investigate.


    It wasn��t until March 14, when Lanrisa��s body was discovered by the children on the beach (Chapter 576), that the serial murder case was officially exposed! "


    ? Winslow, Chenelle and Mona nodded in succession. Roan was silent for a few seconds and ordered:


    ��Mona, you are responsible for investigating the entire whereabouts of Aubrey Crane��s car during these days.


    Winslow, please go and investigate the situation before the death of the victim Lanrisa, see where she was soliciting customers, and see if there are any witnesses in the nearby area who saw Lanrisa getting into the car.


    Chenelle, contact the relatives and friends who received calls from the murderer after the victim died, and try to convince them that they will need to testify in court later in this case. "


    "no problem!"


    "clear!"


    After Roan finished giving the order, Mona, Winslow and Chenelle nodded in unison and immediately started preparations.


    Lacie raised her hand and shook it:


    ��What about me? What do I do?��


    ??Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pulled Lacey to the side, and whispered:


    ��You came from the Intelligence Department, there is something suitable for you to do...��


    After hearing the order given to her by Luo An, Lacey agreed without hesitation.


    But she still had a little question and whispered:


    ��What to do about those cell phones? In order not to alert the enemy and arouse Edwin Crane��s vigilance, we cannot search the villa.


    But if we don��t search, how can we determine whether those mobile phones are in that villa? "


    ?Luo An chuckled and patted Lacey on the shoulder:


    ��This matter is very simple, I will handle it.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 607： Arrest, villa, washing machine

    Chapter 607: Arrest, villa, washing machine


    ��Do you have any idea?��


    Looking at the relaxed smile on Luo An��s face, Lacey raised her eyebrows and asked curiously:


    ��What are you going to do?��


    ��You take action first, and you will know later.��


    ??Luo An smiled, but did not answer Lacey''s question immediately. He patted her shoulder to signal her to act quickly, and then walked towards the coffee machine not far away.


    ��Mysterious����


    ??Lacie muttered something in a low voice, but immediately returned to her seat, picked up her things, and quickly left the office area.


    ?Winslow and Chenelle followed closely behind, and soon only Mona was left in the office area, typing on the computer keyboard.


    ?At the coffee machine not far away, Luo An looked at the running machine, waited for a long time, took out his mobile phone and called someone:


    ��Good afternoon, team leader, it��s me, Luo An����


    ����


    ?The noise on the other end of the phone was much less. It sounded like the NYPD had gone to a place far away from the scene. The other party said in a sincere tone:


    ? Hearing the words of the NYPD, Edn Crane''s pupils shrank. He did not hang up the landline immediately. Instead, he found his mobile phone and called the manager of the community.


    "Hello."


    ?At this moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang. While pouring himself coffee, Edwin Crane picked up the phone:


    After hearing this, Edn Crane immediately hung up the phone. After swearing in a low voice, he immediately turned to the landline and said:


    ��I��ll go over now.��


    ��It��s me, what��s wrong?��


    Your villa, the walls, the lawn, and part of the walls of the villa were all damaged by grenades and bullets.


    ��You come here in person? Okay, Mr. Crane, the insurance company...��


    ??The other party stated that he was the FBI. Unfortunately, the owner of the phone was injured by a grenade and has been sent to the hospital. If necessary, he could discuss it with him temporarily.


    Jingle Bell-


    ��What?��


    ??The phone was quickly connected, but the voice was not the familiar community manager of Adern Crane, but an unfamiliar male voice.


    ��Hello, is this Mr. Adern Crane?��


    ?At 5:30 in the afternoon, in an office in a high-rise building in Manhattan, eastern New York, Adern Crane, with a high nose and no hair, stretched his waist and finished his work for the day.


    "damn it!"


    ��We arrested a wanted criminal before, but during the process of arresting him, the guy broke into this villa area with a stolen car and caused a lot of damage.


    Of course, we will also send people into your villa during the process to help you calculate the losses..."


    There was an unfamiliar male voice on the other end of the phone. The background sound was a bit noisy. The man said quickly on the phone:


    ��I am the NYPD, are you the owner of Villa No. 042 in a community on Long Island?��


    ��I��m very sorry, Mr. Crane.��


    Hearing the name of the villa, Edn Crane paused in pouring the coffee, and his expression changed instantly, but his tone remained unchanged as he asked:


    We found out that you have purchased insurance for this villa. I suggest you send someone to handle it on site, or ask your insurance company to contact us directly, and we will discuss the relevant compensation issues in a reasonable manner.


    ?? Before the NYPD could finish what he said, Edn Crane hung up the phone, cursed a few times under his breath, picked up his coat and cell phone and walked out of the office quickly.


    As he went downstairs, he pressed a button and called his wife:


    "Aubrey, I might go back later tonight. The NYPD just called me... No, I can handle it myself..."


    At the same time, on the other side, in the quiet villa area, Ryder turned around, shook his phone, and said with a smile:


    ��Luo An, that guy said he would be there right away and didn��t call the insurance company.��


    "it is as expected."


    Roan smiled and nodded, clenching his fist and gently hitting Ryder''s chest:


    ��Thank you for your help this time.��


    ??The phone call Luo An made before was to contact Augustus, the leader of Investigation Team No. 5 of the New York FBI branch, hoping that he could help.


    Augustus agreed without hesitation and sent out the senior agent Ryder, who was most familiar to Luo An and others.


    ��Little things.��


    ??? Ryder laughed, and also made a fist and hit Luo An''s chest. Then he looked at the intact villa not far away, raised his eyebrows, and asked:


    "It''s been a long time since I''ve acted with you. What should we do next? Raid that villa directly?"


    ??Luo An nodded with a smile, took out a search warrant from his pocket, and then said:


    ��But before that, I need to make a phone call.��


    As he said that, Luo An took out his mobile phone, found a phone number and called:


    "It''s me, Luo An, I can arrest people." "No problem!"


    On the other end of the phone, Lacey, who had been waiting for a long time under a high-rise building in Manhattan, smiled and agreed immediately.


    ?Hang up the phone, Lacey waved to the temporarily seconded FBI agents behind her, and the group walked quickly to the parking lot not far away, and stopped Adern Crane who was about to get in the car.


    Lacie shook the golden badge in her hand and said coldly:


    ��Hello, FBI.��


    ?Adern Crane was stunned for a moment, and then his face instantly turned extremely ugly.


    He didn��t struggle or resist, he just said quietly:


    ��I won��t say anything until the lawyer comes.��


    At the same time, in the villa area, Luo An, who hung up the phone, did not continue to talk nonsense and waved his hand directly:


    ��Action!��


    "clear!"


    Because we knew that no one was in the villa not far away, there were not many people in this operation.


    ?Except for the two FBI operational agents, Luo An and Ryder, there are only seven agents from the Trace Inspection Division.


    �O


    Kicking open the door of the villa, Luo An and Ryder were just like they were in the No. 5 Investigation Team. They held pistols and had a clear division of labor, and quickly inspected each house.


    ��Bedroom safe!��


    ��Safety on the first floor!��


    ��Safety on the second floor!��


    ��The basement is safe!��


    After making sure that no one was in any room, Luo An and Ryder put away their weapons and called the agents from the Trace Inspection Section to enter the villa.


    Not long after, several detectives from the Trace Inspection Division discovered a safe under the floor beneath a cabinet in the utility room on the first floor.


    ?Several detectives took out professional equipment to crack the safe, and within ten minutes, they opened the door to the safe.


    The moment the safe was opened, Ryder immediately approached it. His eyes lit up when he saw the contents inside, and he immediately shouted:


    ��Luo An! I found the mobile phones you mentioned!��


    "knew-"


    Luo An answered in a dull voice. Ryder was slightly startled. He walked out of the utility room and followed the sound to look for Luo An. He found Luo An in the kitchen, with the upper half of his body inserted into the washing machine.


    The living habits of the Commonwealth are different from those in the East. Many people in this country install laundry rooms in the kitchen.


    ��You are����


    Looking at Luo An, who only had his lower body left, Ryder twitched the corner of his mouth and asked:


    ��Performance art? Need help?��


    ��Stay away from me, I��m not stuck, I can get out without your help.��


    He replied in a muffled voice. After a while, Luo An exited the washing machine little by little, and Ryder realized that he still had a small flashlight in his hand.


    ?Luo An turned off the flashlight and said:


    ��Call the agents from the Trace Inspection Division to come over and we��ll dismantle the washing machine and take it away.��


    ��What?��


    Ryder looked puzzled, then reacted instantly and asked:


    ��Is there blood in the washing machine?��


    ?Luo An shook his head and smiled:


    ��No blood, just hair.��


    ??Lyder looked confused. Just when Luo An was about to explain, his cell phone suddenly rang, and the number showed that it was Mona.


    ��Luo An, someone is looking for you.��


    "who?"


    ��A very beautiful female reporter with a very good figure.��


    ?)


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 608： Louise, the interrogation has begun.

    Chapter 608 Louise, the interrogation begins


    ��Female reporter?��


    ??The words coming from the phone made Luo An frown slightly.


    It wasn��t because the vinegar in Mona��s tone was strong, he could smell it even from this far away.


    ??But Luo An has rarely had contact with the media for such a long time, and he can count the times on two hands.


    Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. Luo An waved his hand and motioned for Ryder to take someone to deal with the washing machine. He walked aside and asked:


    ��What��s the name of that female reporter? Which media company is she from?��


    In the office area, Mona glanced at the beautiful woman sitting on a chair in the rest area not far away. She had a graceful and concave figure and exuded intelligence. She rolled her eyes calmly and said:


    ��She said her name was Louise, from [The New York Times]��


    ��Louise?��


    Soon, the washing machine was taken out from under the cabinet by the agents from the Trace Inspection Section. Ryder looked at the large object in front of him and looked at Luo An speechlessly:


    ��The operation is not completely over, and we won��t be able to go back for a while.��


    ??Mona felt a little uncomfortable, but she was a measured woman. She did not throw the business card into the trash can, but just pressed it under the coffee pot next to her.


    "Sorry, Miss Louise, our investigation team is handling a case. For reasons such as caution, Team Leader Greenwood is temporarily unable to be interviewed."


    ��OK.��


    After a brief chat, the two of them hung up the phone together. Mona put down the phone and raised her lips slightly. She coughed slightly and turned expressionless instantly. She turned around and walked to the rest area, her tone was neither cold nor indifferent:


    ?Luo An said without any nonsense:


    ��I won��t accept an interview, please help me reject that female reporter.��


    But the expression on her face did not change, Mona replied quietly:


    ?Looking at the woman in front of her who had a standard fox face and a chest that was slightly larger than her own, alarm bells rang in Mona''s mind.


    Leader Greenwood will contact you when he has time. "


    ?Female reporter Louise raised her eyebrows, put down her coffee cup and stood up. She looked at Mona in front of her and asked with a smile:


    ��So, when will Leader Greenwood have time?��


    At the same time, in a distant villa, several agents from the Trace Inspection Section were removing the washing machine from under the kitchen cabinet. The kitchen floor was filled with parts.


    "Her name isn''t Lois Lane, is she? Superman''s girlfriend?"


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��You��ve read too many comics. This female reporter��s surname is Hernandez, and her full name is Louise Hernandez.��


    ��OK.��


    Looking at the pale gold business card in her hand, with black name, occupation and other information printed on it, and a light scent of perfume, Mona snorted coldly and returned to her seat.


    "When will you come back?"


    ?Mona was a little speechless, and then asked:


    ?Female reporter Louise chuckled, took out a business card from her handbag and handed it to Mona, and then left the office.


    ��Sorry, I can��t answer this question.


    ��The SUV we drove here has no room to pull it. Do you want to call a tow truck?��


    ��No, the washing machine is not important.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, and under Ryder''s doubtful gaze, he walked behind the drum washing machine in front of him, took a screwdriver from the hand of the trace inspection department agent, and quickly opened the filter of the washing machine.


    Wearing gloves, he put the black stuff in the filter into the evidence bag, and then put the filter itself into another evidence bag. Luo An returned the screwdriver to the agent of the Trace Inspection Section and grinned at Ryder:


    ��These are the most important pieces of evidence.��


    ����


    The next day, at nine o''clock in the morning, an interrogation room in an office in New York.


    ??The interrogation room this time was different from the past. Except for Roan and Chenelle on both sides of the interrogation table, the suspect Adern Crane, who was captured by Lacey last night, sat on the chair opposite.


    ?Beside him, there was a white man in a suit and leather suit with eyes in his fifties who looked to be in his fifties. He was the lawyer that Adern Crane hired for himself.


    ��Hello, Lawyer Martin.��


    ?Luo An stretched out his hand towards the lawyer opposite and said with a smile:


    ��I didn��t expect to see you here.��


    ??Luo An met this lawyer Martin in the past when he was taken by Veranith to attend dinners held by some high-level dignitaries. The other party has been working in the legal profession for decades and has excellent experience, connections, and abilities. He is a guest of many wealthy people and politicians.


    ??Roan had met the opponent before but was not familiar with him. Unexpectedly, Edn Crane actually found him.


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    Looking at the hand that Luo An stretched out towards him, Lawyer Martin did not reach out to shake it. He just sat on the chair and nodded calmly, and then said directly:


    ��In this trial, as Mr. Adern Crane��s attorney, I have the right to answer some questions for him.


    ?At the same time, we can also refuse to answer some questions. "


    "certainly."


    ?The other party didn''t shake his hand, so Luo An smiled and didn''t care.


    Sitting back on the chair, he signaled Chenille to start preparing the record. Then Roan opened the folder in his hand, first placed the photos of the twelve victims in front of Adern Crane, and asked:


    ��Mr. Crane, do you know these women?��


    ?Looking at the photo, Edn Crane''s eyes moved slightly and he did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Lawyer Martin next to him.


    Lawyer Martin coughed lightly and said:


    ��My client has the right to refuse to answer this question.��


    ?? Chenier frowned, and Luo An, who had been staring at Adern Crane, chuckled, took out a few pieces of paper from the folder, and put them on the interrogation table:


    ��This is the car whereabout record of Aubrey Crane, Mr. Crane��s wife, that my detectives found last night.


    Records show that at 9 pm on February 28, the car left the villa where you lived and went to a certain street on the west side of Long Island.


    The car stopped near the street for 40 minutes and then headed to a highway on the side of Long Island, New York.


    Mr. Crane, were you the one driving the car that night? "


    Crane looked at the lawyer. Lawyer Martin whispered a few words in his ear. Crane nodded and replied:


    "it''s me."


    ?Luo An then asked:


    ��What were you driving for?��


    Adern Crane spread his hands:


    ��Go and do some personal business.��


    ��Please elaborate.��


    ��Excuse me, Captain Greenwood.��


    Martin interrupted Luo An��s question again:


    ��My client has the right to refuse to answer your questions.��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and leaned back:


    ��This is not interesting, Lawyer Martin.��


    ��It��s not about whether it��s interesting or not.��


    Lawyer Martin chuckled:


    ��This is federal law, and federal law sets out the rights that my client has.��


    Luo An asked back:


    ��Federal law also makes it a felony to deceive federal agents.��


    ��My client did not deceive federal agents.��


    Lawyer Martin said calmly:


    ��We are just legally refusing to answer some questions to protect my client��s privacy.��


    ��OK, I respect federal law.��


    Luo An put down the folder and asked:


    ��So, what questions can Mr. Crane answer? Attorney Martin, please make a list for me.��


    ��Sorry, this is not my responsibility.��


    ??In the interrogation room, Lawyer Luo An and Martin were arguing with each other. The words between you and me were very fierce. Crane next to him was stunned for a moment, not knowing who the person being interrogated was.


    ?At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door in the interrogation room. Mona opened the door and walked in. She gave Adern Crane a cold look and handed a black document to Roan.


    Opening the file, the smile on Luo An��s face became brighter and brighter. He turned his eyes to Adern Crane and asked:


    ��Mr. Crane, you really opened my eyes.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 609： confession, washing machine, hair

    Chapter 609: Confession, washing machine, hair


    ��Leader Greenwood, there is something I need to remind you.��


    Lawyer Martin looked at the documents in Luo An��s hand and suddenly became very alert and said in a deep voice:


    ��Fifteen hours have passed since you brought my client here last night, and there are still 24 hours left����


    ��There are about 9 hours left, I know.��


    ??Luo An waved his hand to interrupt lawyer Martin, closed the folder in his hand, looked at Adern Crane, and said with a smile:


    ��Time is indeed a bit short, but there is no need to rush, because from now on, time is no longer important.��


    Lawyer Martin looked serious and said:


    ��Leader Greenwood, I must remind you that you threatened my client, you...��


    ��The first thing, mobile phone.��


    Before lawyer Martin finished speaking, Luo An took out a few photos and papers, placed them on the interrogation table, and said:


    ��Persuade your employer carefully, I still have evidence here.


    Otherwise, the sentence "bad attitude, resisting investigation" appears in the return document, which will have a bad impact. "


    ?Lawyer Martin''s words were paused. He looked at the photos on the table and immediately turned his head to look at Adern Crane beside him.


    ��Captain Greenwood, I request to discuss this matter privately with my client for a few minutes.��


    ?Seeing the ugly expression on Lawyer Martin��s face, Chenelle felt slightly relieved, while Luo An blinked and added:


    ��By the way, in order to prevent these witnesses from ��shooting themselves in the back��, my detectives have taken them to a safe place, Mr. Crane, you can rest assured.��


    ��%��#*����


    ?Admit it early, and when the judge goes to trial, he can still get an evaluation of "cooperating with the detective''s investigation."


    Hearing Luo An''s words, Adern Crane''s face became even more ugly, and Lawyer Martin''s face also darkened.


    Lawyer Martin began to communicate with Edn Crane in a low voice. Luo An coughed lightly when he saw this, picked up the photos of several victims on the table, moved them to the top, and said calmly:


    ?According to the investigation, these mobile phones all belong to the victims. The test report shows that in addition to the fingerprints of the victims, there are more fingerprints of Adern Crane. "


    Through the hard work of my detectives, I successfully persuaded several relatives and friends of the victim to not only testify in court, but also to help compare the similarity between your voice and that of the murderer, Mr. Crane. "


    "Can."


    ����


    Lawyer Martin also had an ugly face. He had heard about Luo An''s reputation and guessed that Luo An must have some clues, but he never expected that Luo An had already obtained so much evidence.


    ??Adern Crane''s face was gloomy, his eyebrows were pounding, and he cursed Luo An in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.


    Just as Chenelle was about to speak, Luo An pressed down her arm and nodded in agreement.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Lawyer Martin looked at Luo An and said:


    ��Also, there is good news.


    ��We found eight mobile phones in the safe of the villa near the park.


    ??Temporarily turned off the surveillance equipment and walked out of the interrogation room. Before closing the door, Luo An patted the document that Mona had just sent him, smiled at Lawyer Martin, and whispered:


    ??Adern Crane''s face was expressionless, but Luo An noticed that the opponent''s eye movements were much higher, and the "emotional perception" found that the opponent''s negative emotions began to increase significantly.


    Luo An seemed to "lower" his voice and spoke only to Lawyer Martin. However, the interrogation room was only so large, and Lawyer Martin and Edn Crane were sitting very close to each other, so these words were not spoken to Edn Crane. -Klan still heard it clearly, and his face became even more ugly.


    ??Luo An chuckled, closed the door and walked out of the interrogation room. Lawyer Martin took a deep breath, turned to look at Edn Crane, and said with a serious face:


    ��Adern, from now on, you must explain the entire situation of this case to me!��


    A few minutes later, Lawyer Martin knocked on the door and signaled Luo An and Chenelle to return to the interrogation room and entered the room. Luo An did not sit in the chair and asked directly:


    ��How is it? Are you still going to say nothing?��


    ��No.��


    ?Lawyer Martin shook his head and turned his gaze to Edn Crane. Edn Crane took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:


    ��I admit that I was responsible for two murders.��


    ��Two cases?��


    Hearing this number, Chenie��s eyes suddenly widened and her face was full of irritation. Luo An remained very calm and asked:


    "you sure?"


    ??? Before Edn Crane could speak, Luo An then shook the folder in his hand and said:


    ��Mr. Crane, I admit you are cautious. But you have a PhD in finance, not criminology.


    The information in my hand shows that you killed at least 10 victims.


    If you only admit 2 cases, then the other 8+2 murder cases..."


    "I��"


    ??Adern Crane''s eyes flickered and his throat rolled. Luo An''s mind started to move slightly. He coughed lightly and pulled out another piece of paper and said:


    ��Also, think about your family. ????family


    ?The behavioral analysis department has completed psychological analysis work, which shows that you have feelings for your daughter..."


    ��Stop!��


    Just as Lawyer Martin was about to speak, Edn Crane suddenly shouted, and then slammed the interrogation table:


    ��I admit that the murderer of that serial murder case is me!��


    Lawyer Martin��s expression changed drastically. Luo An narrowed his eyes and asked quickly:


    ��You killed all twelve victims?��


    ��That��s right!��


    ��OK, thank you for your cooperation.��


    ?Roan and Edwin Crane answered questions very quickly, giving Attorney Martin no chance to interrupt.


    Hearing Adern Crane admit everything, Lawyer Martin immediately covered his eyes and worked in vain.


    After a brief chat, Adern Crane was taken away by Winslow and Lacey and sent to the temporary prison. Lawyer Martin stood in the corridor and looked at Adern Crane''s back for a few seconds, then looked back for a few seconds. Luo An said expressionlessly:


    ��As expected of Team Leader Greenwood, he has very powerful methods.��


    "Thank you for the compliment."


    ?Luo An grinned and stretched out his right hand towards Lawyer Martin again.


    ?This time Lawyer Martin did not refuse. Although he paused for a moment, he still reached out and shook hands with Luo An, and finally turned and left.


    ��I hate this guy.��


    ??The elevator door closed and Lawyer Martin disappeared. Chenelle commented with an unhappy face:


    ��Eyes higher than the top, sanctimonious.��


    ��After all, he is a lawyer in New York, and the higher his status, the more he behaves like this.��


    Roan smiled and patted Cheniel on the shoulder, then changed and walked back. Cheniel quickly followed and asked:


    ��What��s in the document that Mona just sent you?��


    The matter of the cell phone and the witness had been determined before the trial began, and Chenelle knew this.


    But she really didn��t know anything about Mona sending the documents midway.


    ��It��s the identification report of several hairs.��


    ??Luo An smiled, handed the file to Chenier, briefly talked about the washing machine, and then explained:


    ��Adern Crane was very careful and tidied up the scene of the crime, and there was no trace of his hair on the body.


    But don��t forget one thing. In addition to Edn Crane leaving hair on his victim, on the contrary, the hair on the victim also has a chance to stay on Edn Crane��s body.


    ?Those victims are all women, and the probability of women losing a few hairs unknowingly is much higher than that of men. "


    Chenier suddenly realized:


    ��Each time after committing a murder, Edwin Crane would go to that park to make a phone call, and he would also wash himself and his clothes in that villa!��


    ��Federal people now rarely wash clothes by hand, and most people use washing machines.��


    ?Luo An said with a smile:


    ��As for the washing machine, every time it is drained, there will definitely be something left in the filter behind it, such as hair.��


    ??Luo An is deeply aware of this. He has lived with Mona for so long, and every time he does laundry, he will see a lot of long hair at the bottom of the washing machine.


    "You''re right!"


    ?As a woman, Chenelle nodded repeatedly. Men would not care about this kind of thing, but most women have been troubled by similar things.


    Walking into the office area, Cheniel said:


    ��Adern Crane has a PhD in finance and is a partner in a company. He has not been in the kitchen or done housework in decades. It would be good if he can use a washing machine.


    He doesn��t care about the filter behind the washing machine at all, and maybe he doesn��t even know about it.


    Every time he washed his clothes, the hair left by those women would get stuck in it, and it has remained there until now. "


    "That''s it."


    In the office area, Mona smiled and said:


    ��The Trace Inspection Department detected that the pile of black things Luo An brought back yesterday contained the hair of six different women.��


    ��Only 6 people?��


    ? Chenier was startled and looked at Luo An:


    ��Then you just...��


    ?Luo An grinned and was about to explain when his cell phone suddenly rang.


    Pressing the answer button, Veranith''s voice came and asked:


    ��Luo An, did a female reporter come to see you yesterday?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 610： Cao Cao and Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty

    Chapter 610 Cao Cao and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty


    Eleven o''clock in the morning, an office area in New York.


    Pressing the answer button, Luo An said casually:


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    Veranis on the other end of the phone hummed without any nonsense and asked directly:


    ��Did a female reporter come to see you yesterday?��


    ��Yes, there is such a thing.��


    Roan waved his hand to signal Chenier, Mona and others to handle the follow-up work of this serial murder case. He walked to the window and briefly described yesterday''s situation, then narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Sir, you don��t want to tell me that the female reporter was killed, do you?��


    ��No, he is still alive and well.��


    Veranis on the other end of the phone rolled her eyes beautifully and asked:


    ��Why do you think so? Do you have a grudge against that female reporter?��


    ��No, sir.��


    The Republicans and Democrats have now begun preparations for the election of the next speaker. "


    ��It��s really surprising how fast those gentlemen in Congress worked this time.��


    Getting a negative answer, Luo An breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his temples, and said helplessly:


    ��Mainly during this period, I was tortured by the combination of one murder case + two serial murder cases, which made me mentally allergic.��


    ?Just in case, the gang contacted Antoine and asked him to help detain your detective, attract your attention, and let you temporarily leave the case. "


    ��No.��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and said:


    "What''s up with him?"


    But from another perspective, as long as we grasp it, this is also a big opportunity.


    At the beginning, some people in the Secret Service did not provide complete information, which made Director Robert mistakenly think that the matter was not important, so he agreed to those people and gave us an order to suspend the operation for one day and resume operations the next day.


    ��I remember him so well.��


    Verenis sneered and said:


    Hearing Luo An sighing, Veranith''s eyes flashed with understanding, her tone slowed down a lot, and she whispered:


    ��Let me tell you one thing, Congress has determined that Mike Monroe is not suitable to continue to serve as Speaker of the Congress.


    Hearing that something was wrong in Veranith''s tone, Luo An asked in a low voice:


    ��After all, their self-interests are involved.��


    ?Hearing what Verinis had investigated, Luo An thought for a moment and whispered:


    ��It seems that although our Secretary Antoine is physically in the FBI, his heart is in the Secret Service.��


    ��He was kicked to the Secret Service by Director Robert.��


    ��This case of the ��Organization�� does have a lot of implications behind it, and it is easy to be dragged into the abyss if you are not careful.


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, his reputation became more and more widespread, and Minister Antoine worked hard.


    Verenis chuckled, and then whispered:


    ��Also, remember the Minister of the Office of Professional Responsibility, Antoine?��


    ??This is the first time that Luo An has encountered three cases crowded together. The cases are complicated and there are many clues, which makes Luo An very troubled.


    ��I understand, you have worked hard during this period.��


    Veranith lowered her voice and said seriously:


    ��You are wrong, Roan, Antoine��s heart is not only in the Secret Service, but also in many places.


    ?His body is not with the FBI, but with the Jews.


    ??This time the Secret Service contacted Antoine and asked him for help. It was also a certain group of Jews in the Secret Service. "


    Veranith then said that when Luo An led the No. 13 Investigation Team to capture Francisco and explained the relevant circumstances of the "organization" case, Director Robert, who was almost deceived and almost lost a lot of political achievements, was furious.


    Someone was sent to handle the follow-up work of the case later. When he learned that Antoine had intervened in small ways to try to prevent Luo An from handling the case, Director Robert became even more angry. He directly found a reason to dismiss Antoine from his post and threw him to the Secret Service.


    Veranith said coldly:


    "Antoine made a big mistake by doing things for other departments regardless of his own position." Luo An smiled and said:


    ��It��s normal, after all, I am a Jew.��


    ��You should say less of this kind of thing in the future.��


    Veranis gave Luo An a casual warning, and then said:


    ��This case of the ��Organization�� involves a lot. Director Robert and Mr. Clement are both busy with this matter, and I��m afraid it won��t be over in a short time.


    When the matter is over, as the leader of this case, your position should be able to continue to move up. "


    ��This possibility is too small.��


    ?Luo An shook his head repeatedly, not believing what Veranith said.


    Not long after he entered the FBI headquarters in Washington, and coupled with the insurmountable obstacle of age, Luo An already had the position of leader of the 13th Investigation Team a long time ago, sitting there for three to five years to accumulate qualifications. Mental preparation.


    ??Now Veranith said that it is possible for her to continue going up... This pie is so big that Luo An doesn''t believe it at all.


    ��No, Luo An, this is very likely.��


    Veranith on the other end of the phone narrowed her eyes slightly and said meaningfully:


    ��What I just said was not your level, but your position.


    You know, we are the FBI. When we encounter some cases, the headquarters will often set up some kind of special investigation team. "


    ??Luo An''s rank within the FBI at this time was that of team leader, that is, a supervisory special agent.


    ? ? Above the supervisory special agent, is the team leader, which is also the assistant special agent supervisor, which is the position that Veranith held when she was in the FBI New York Division.


    ??Luo An became a team leader not long after he became a regular and just joined the FBI''s Washington headquarters. Of course, it was impossible to be promoted to team leader so quickly.


    But many times, position does not equal power. This has been the same in the East and the West from ancient times to the present.


    Just like the last years of the Han Dynasty during the Eastern Three Kingdoms period, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was indeed the emperor and the highest-status person in the country, but his power was far inferior to that of the prime minister Cao Cao at the time.


    The meaning of Veranith''s words is very simple. Luo An''s level cannot be changed in the short term, but after serving as the leader of some special investigation teams, there will be more people in charge, and the information that can be viewed will increase, and he will be able to master it. The authority will also be higher...


    This is actually a substantive promotion that is ��unnamed but powerful��.


    "Wow."


    ?Luo An understood the meaning of Veranith''s words, and also remembered the situation of those special case investigation teams.


    ?Promotion is a good thing, but Luo An was not in a hurry to be happy. He was more concerned about the things behind power, so he immediately asked:


    ��Sir, what is the work content of those special investigation teams?��


    ��It involves some confidential cases, so it��s not convenient to explain it over the phone.��


    Verenith said:


    ��When you return to the FBI headquarters in Washington, I can take you to review some of it.��


    After a pause for a few seconds, Veranie thought about Roan''s character, so she added:


    ��The credit behind those confidential cases may not be great, but there are definitely many opportunities to make money.��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    Hearing the word "make money", Luo An''s eyes lit up and he responded loudly:


    "I will definitely handle this case as soon as possible and return to the headquarters as quickly as possible. I will never let you down!"


    ����


    Veranith rolled her eyes beautifully, briefly discussed the subsequent serial murder case against street workers for a moment, and then she was ready to hang up.


    At this moment, Luo An suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly:


    ��Sir, what��s going on with that female reporter?��


    Veranith was stunned for a moment, then slapped her head, almost forgetting the reason for making this call.


    ?Picking up the documents on the table, Veranith said:


    ��Luo An, you need to agree to the female reporter��s interview.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 611： Female reporter identity, interview

    Chapter 611 Identity of female reporter, interview


    Hearing that Veranith asked him to agree to the interview with the female reporter, Luo An looked calm, guessed a certain possibility, and asked:


    ��Is that female reporter��s identity unusual?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Veranith sighed, looked at the information in the folder in her hand, and introduced:


    ��Louise Hernandez, her father is the deputy secretary of defense, and her mother is the spokesperson of the Air Force.��


    A flash of surprise suddenly flashed in Luo An''s eyes.


    ? ? Before returning to the office area, Luo An guessed that the other person''s identity was unusual when Mona briefly described the other person''s figure and appearance.


    ?Although the Federation has always claimed freedom and democracy, the fact that women have a low status has always existed.


    ?For example, the salary of female stars in Hollywood is one-third or even two-thirds lower than that of male stars.


    As well as the "physical dominance" of male bosses over female employees in various companies in the Federation.


    ??Luo An doesn��t want to attract their attention, and he doesn��t want too many people to know his appearance, so as to prevent inconvenience to his future life, such as revenge.


    But the people around him, such as Mona, members of the No. 13 Investigation Team, etc., once a revenge incident occurs, Luo An cannot guarantee their safety 100%.


    Hearing Louise Hernandez''s cooperation, Luan''s alarm bells rang in his head after hanging up the phone.


    ?For example, it is inconvenient to disclose certain details of the case, and the other party cannot take photos or publish my appearance in newspapers, etc. "


    ?After pondering for a while, Luo An quickly walked to the office area, patted Mona on the shoulder and said:


    ��Mona, please investigate that female reporter Louise Hernandez.��


    ?A woman as beautiful as Luise Hernandez still works in the media field where the "image dominance" culture is most prevalent. She either has a strong background and is spotless, or she is supported by a big boss and is muddy.


    ����


    ??Mona, who was bored with her work, heard this, straightened up instantly and cheered up, and asked:


    ��What did she do to check?��


    ??Luo An briefly described what Veranith had just said, saying that he was a little suspicious of Louise Hernandez''s true purpose of interviewing him.


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An is not afraid of revenge purely on himself.


    ��I don��t know, maybe I want to make big news.��


    ??Before, he was busy dealing with serial murder cases and did not investigate Luise Hernandez''s background for the time being. However, Luo An did not expect that the other party''s background was so strong.


    Veranith didn��t know why the other party wanted to see Luo An so much, and she even used her connections to find Mr. Clement.


    Luo An frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said:


    ��Sir, I can accept the interview, but there are some things I must declare beforehand.


    ��I know, and I have told the other party these things in advance.��


    ?However, Luo An still didn��t quite understand one thing and asked in confusion:


    ��Why does that female reporter want to interview me?��


    ??Mona was also shocked when she saw the identity of Louise''s parents. Luo An thought about it and said:


    Verenis nodded and said:


    ��Louise Hernandez has agreed to everything, and she has also made a list of issues. If there are any inconveniences, Louise said that she can communicate and modify them.��


    ?The federal land is vast and full of talents, and it has given birth to many weirdos and all kinds of extreme thinkers.


    ??Mona''s face changed slightly, her fingers danced quickly on the keyboard, and she quickly retrieved Louise Hernandez''s birth record, academic experience, family situation and other information.


    ��Mona, check what Louise reported to the society before.��


    Mona continued to type on the keyboard and soon found the article Louise had posted previously.


    A small number of them are related to women��s rights, equal rights, etc., and most of them are reports in the economic field.


    ��No military, no cases, even the NYPD rarely mentioned it.��


    After quickly browsing the report, Mona frowned and looked up at Luo An: "I think your guess is correct. Louise Hernandez is very likely to come to you, but why?"


    ??Mona looked puzzled. The survey results showed that Louise was not short of money and was survived by two outrageously high-status parents.


    ??If your goal is journalism��s highest award, the Prinzer Prize, you shouldn��t come to Roan.


    The possibility of reporting on the cases that Luo An handled is very likely to increase the sales of the newspaper, but the possibility of winning a prize is almost equal to none.


    Really unable to figure out the reason, Mona suggested:


    ��Otherwise you��d better not accept this interview with this woman.��


    ??Hold his hands across his chest, Luo An looked at the information on the computer, pondered for a few seconds and slowly shook his head:


    "Escape can''t solve the problem. Facing it is the best way. At least you have to understand what the other party''s purpose is."


    ?Mona was a little unhappy, but she still found the business card that she had put under the coffee pot, picked up the landline phone and called the other party.


    ??The call was quickly connected:


    ��Hello, this is Louise.��


    Hearing the sweet voice on the phone, Mona ignored Luo An next to her and rolled her eyes. She pinched her nose and communicated with the other party about the interview with a look of displeasure.


    The two quickly agreed on the time and place of the interview tomorrow, and then Louise hung up the phone on her own initiative.


    After hanging up the phone, Mona turned to look at Luo An, showing her white teeth, looking at Luo An eagerly, and said:


    ��I��ll be with you tomorrow.��


    ?Looking at Mona, who was filled with jealousy and dared to pounce on her if she refused, Luo An grinned and nodded.


    ??Mona raised her brows slightly, and before she could speak, Luo An took her hand and moved to the computer, saying:


    ��There is something you can help me investigate...��


    ����


    The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the air was pleasant... slightly turbid.


    At 9:30 in the morning, Luo An met the female reporter Louise in a conference room of a temporarily borrowed office in New York.


    Today Louise��s hair is **** high, her delicate fox-like face has golden eyes, she is wearing a dark blue women��s suit, her slender legs are bound by a layer of black stockings, leaving a fragrant breeze when she walks.


    ??Louis raised the corners of her mouth slightly, stretched out her hand towards Luo An, and said:


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    ��Just call me Luo An.��


    ??This is the first time Luo An has met Louise. From a man��s perspective and perspective, this reporter Louise is indeed very attractive.


    ??However, Luo An simply shook hands with the other party and retracted his arm, motioning for Louise to sit down. Mona, who was standing next to her, took a step forward and poured a cup of coffee for the two of them expressionlessly.


    After a few simple greetings, Luo An brought the topic to the point and asked with a smile:


    ��I saw that Miss Louise��s previous articles were all related to the economy.


    Although my major in college was accounting, I was working in the FBI at this time and had almost forgotten all my knowledge of economics.


    I don��t know, Miss Louise, why do you want to interview me this time? "


    Opposite the conference table, Louise, who was sitting on the chair, laughed when she heard this. She put her legs together and turned slightly to the right. She looked at Luo An with her big eyes and said softly:


    ��What Leader Luo An really wants to ask is what is the purpose of my interview with you, right?��


    ?Luo An smiled without any embarrassment and asked directly:


    ��Then Miss Louise, can you answer my question?��


    "sure."


    ??Louis nodded, but did not immediately answer Luo An''s question. Instead, she turned to look at Mona, who was standing aside with an expressionless face, and said:


    "But before I can answer, this Miss Mona needs to leave the room."


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 612： Secret Agent, NGA

    Chapter 612 Secret Agent, NGA


    9:30 a.m., a temporarily borrowed office.


    In the office area, Winslow, Chenille, and Michelle are sitting in their respective positions handling the follow-up work of the case.


    After working for a long time and finally finishing a document, Winslow raised his head and exhaled, reaching for his coffee. He found Lacey leaning on her chin with her hand, looking straight at the conference room not far away.


    ��Hey, Lacey, how are you?��


    A flash of understanding flashed in Winslow''s eyes. He took a sip of coffee, reached out and patted Lacey on the shoulder, and asked with a low smile:


    ��Charmed by that beautiful female reporter?��


    When female reporter Louise entered the office, her beautiful face and excellent figure attracted everyone��s attention, and Winslow also took a few more glances.


    ?However, everyone had heard about the other party��s background from Mona before, so they didn��t have many ideas. After Winslow took a few glances, he lowered his head and continued to work.


    "You think too much."


    After coming back to her senses, Lacey rolled her eyes at Winslow, lowered her head and continued working on the documents, while explaining:


    ��That woman is indeed beautiful, but I haven��t come to the point where I like her after seeing her.


    ??If Miss Mona insists on staying in the room, if something unexpected happens later, I can only say sorry to Miss Mona. "


    ??Mona believed in Luo An''s skills, plus the conference room was not large and there were other people from the investigation team outside, so it was impossible for Louise to do anything to Luo An.


    Louis shook her head, took a sip of coffee, and said:


    Hearing this, the smile on Luo An''s face slowly disappeared. Before he could speak, Mona snorted coldly, put the coffee pot on the table, gave Luo An a look, turned and walked out of the conference room.


    I was just wondering if I could take a few days off to rest after I finish my busy work. I want to buy a house. "


    ��I��m sorry, Miss Louise, Mona is my most trusted team member. There is no need for her to leave the conference room.��


    Louis chuckled, turned to look at Luo An, and said:


    ��Is it because you live together?��


    ��I want them all!��


    The next thing we are going to discuss involves federal secrets.


    ��Most trusted?��


    Buying a house is a big deal. Not only was Winslow a little surprised, but Chenelle and Michelle were also attracted and asked curiously:


    ��Lacie, have you saved enough money?��


    ?With a slight cough, Luo An said:


    ��Where are you going to buy a house? New York or Washington, D.C.?��


    ?This matter is not a secret. Many people in the FBI know it. Louise was not surprised to find Luo An. He just said lightly:


    ��So, Miss Louise, can you answer my question?��


    Four people in the office area gathered together to chat about house issues, and the air was filled with joy.


    "Wow."


    ��You trust this Miss Mona, but I cannot trust her.


    Lacey smiled, clasped her hands and bowed twice toward the conference room, and said:


    ��Thanks to Luo An, my wallet is not hungry.��


    ��That��s right.��


    On the other side, the conference room was quiet and the air was very depressing.


    ??Mona looked at the female reporter Louise expressionlessly. Louise''s mouth was slightly raised and she was not afraid to look directly at her. I don''t know if it was an illusion, but Luo An seemed to see sparks constantly flying in the air between the two.


    The reason why Mona stayed in the conference room was purely out of caution, and she had absolutely no intention of being jealous or defensive.


    No!


    �O


    The door to the conference room was closed. Luo Jing looked at Louise quietly and spread his hands forward:


    ��Can we start now?��


    ??Louis raised the corners of her lips, took out two documents and a piece of paper from the handbag on the side and pushed them to Luo An, saying:


    ��This is the first thing.��


    First, he took the ID card, which was about the same size as the FBI gold badge. He opened it and found that the first ID card contained a photo of Louise Hernandez herself, with the words "Federal National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)-Secret Agent" underneath. Member], No. 6506.


    Then opening the second certificate, Luo An frowned.


    Because it actually contains a photo of Luo An himself, with the words "Federal National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) - Secret Agent" underneath, and the number is 65061.


    Opening the piece of paper, there was not much content inside. The text showed that it was the appointment letter issued to Luo An by the [Federal National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)].


    ��I didn��t expect Miss Louise to have a secret identity.��


    After reading these things, Luo An pointed to the ID with his photo on it and asked directly:


    ��But what does this mean?�� The Federal National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, abbreviated as NGA, is an agency of the federal Department of Defense that collects, analyzes and publishes geographical intelligence for national security.


    NGA is headquartered in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The headquarters occupies a large area and is the third largest government building in the Washington metropolitan area after the Pentagon and the Ronald Reagan Building. It has support and liaison offices around the world. .


    Because the agency''s budget, number of employees, work projects, etc. are all confidential, Luo An has only heard about it in the past and does not know the specific situation. Unexpectedly, he met a secret agent from the NGA today.


    ��That��s what it means in the document.��


    ?Louis laughed, took back her ID, and said:


    ��Congratulations on joining the NGA and becoming a secret agent.��


    ��This is just your unilateral decision.��


    Luo An put aside the ID and appointment letter with his photo, leaned back, and crossed his hands on his legs:


    ��I have never written an application, nor have I agreed to this matter.��


    Louis smiled and said:


    ��So I am here today to invite you to join NGA.��


    ��In other words, you are the inviter?��


    ��That��s right.��


    "I reject."


    ��The certificate has been issued and the refusal is invalid.��


    Louis narrowed her eyes, smiled like a little fox, and said:


    ��Wouldn��t it be nice to receive a large extra salary every month?��


    ��So, what��s the price?��


    Luo An spread his hands and said:


    ��This is the federation, and there is no free lunch in the federation, or in other words, free is the most expensive.


    I don��t believe that NGA has so much money that they have nowhere to spend it, so they can pay me a salary in vain. "


    ��What��s free is the most expensive...a very philosophical statement.��


    Louis repeated the words spoken by Roan, and then said:


    ��The main tasks of NGA agents include collecting the geographical structure of other countries, exploring geographical information in certain areas, and exploring effective information such as geology, aviation, and oceans.


    ?Of course, your identity is not an agent, but a secret agent.


    The work content of a secret agent has nothing to do with the above-mentioned part, but I don��t know much about the specific situation, because since I became a secret agent, I have never left the Federation to perform tasks, and this identity has been forgotten by me for a long time. "


    ��Miss Louise is really... informal.��


    Hearing the other party say that he had almost forgotten his identity, Luo An raised his eyebrows and then asked:


    ��Why does NGA want me to join?��


    ��Because you are great.��


    ??Louis looked Luo An up and down, an imperceptible light flashed in her eyes, and explained with a smile:


    ��No, I should say you are very powerful.


    Some time ago, you led a team to solve a case related to an arms dealer. During this period, you had a fight with a group of enemies on a small island in the southern part of the Federation.


    ?Post-incident investigation showed that you alone killed 13 enemies, and only suffered serious injuries to your legs, while other parts were slightly injured.


    Although my name is Louise, there is no Superman in this world.


    ?Most of the federal agents cannot achieve such a terrifying battle loss ratio when they only suffer so much damage. Your combat effectiveness is simply too strong. "


    ??Louise''s eyes were shining, staring at Luo An. She had seen many people, but she had never seen such a powerful and outstanding man.


    ��Thank you, Miss Louise, for the compliment.��


    Luo An replied casually, he was more concerned about the meaning behind Louise��s words:


    ��In other words, NGA wants me to join the department and then send me to perform missions in other countries?��


    Louis did not lie or be perfunctory, she nodded and said:


    ��There is a possibility.��


    "Ah-"


    Luo An raised the corners of his mouth, threw the ID aside, and then asked:


    ��Just now you said this was the first thing, so what is the second thing?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 613： Valuable Luo An, documents from other departments

    Chapter 613: Valuable Luo An, documents from other departments


    ��The second thing is related to my personal life.��


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Louise raised her eyebrows, leaned back, crossed her legs, raised her head high, and said:


    ��Leader Luo An, I think I have a beautiful face and a good figure.


    So, do you know what problems a beautiful woman like me usually encounters? "


    Hearing Louise praising herself in a showy way, Luo An was a little speechless, but the other person was indeed beautiful, and narcissism had nothing to do with him, so he replied casually:


    ��There will be many people chasing you.��


    ��That��s right.��


    Louis nodded and then said:


    ��I don��t like men who are interested in me, but I am 29 years old now, and my birthday will be in 6 months, which means I have 6 months left and will be 30 years old.��


    ??Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, remembering that the other party asked Mona to leave the conference room before. He vaguely guessed what it was and asked:


    ?Looking at Louise Hernandez, whose face was glowing red, Luo An took a breath and felt a toothache.


    ? Seeing Luo An rejecting her without hesitation, Louise raised the corners of her mouth. She guessed what Luo An must have thought of, so she stopped trying to be pretentious and said directly:


    ��Leader Luo An, I am willing to pay US$1 million after tax to buy your wife.��


    ?Luo An was stunned and very surprised. At first, he thought that the other party was just like those shown on some TV shows, asking him to pretend to be a couple, or to have a fake marriage.


    ??I never expected that the other party would actually go all the way and directly plan to purchase his own white genetic material?


    Louis�� expression remained unchanged and she said calmly:


    ��I remember you just said that if you read the articles I posted, you should know that I am a feminist.


    ����


    ��No, you can.��


    ��This is Team Leader Luo An��s performance in the case on the island. The records show that you are strong, have excellent marksmanship, and have a very good physique!


    ��No, I don��t understand.��


    ??Moreover, Team Leader Luo An, you don��t smoke or smoke green tobacco. You drink alcohol but not too much. You live a regular life.


    ?Luo An shook his head and said:


    ��If you have troubles in this area, I can introduce you to several psychological experts to help you resolve your worries.


    Louis then took out another piece of paper from her handbag, handed it to Roan and said:


    Less than 30 years old this year, I climbed to the position of the leader of the FBI Washington Headquarters No. 13, which shows that your IQ and emotional intelligence are far exceeding others.


    ��That��s right.��


    With your physique, EQ, and IQ, plus my IQ, appearance, and figure, the next generation created by the combination of our genes will definitely be outstanding! "


    So, useless steps such as being a couple and getting married can be omitted. I can completely skip these and directly give birth to a child of my own. "


    ?This kind of purchase of male wives and women giving birth to children alone is not uncommon among the wealthy female classes in the Federation.


    As for me, I can''t help you. "


    ?Louis smiled:


    ��Team leader Luo An understands women very well.��


    ?In today''s society, many men control the means of production and go out to make money, while women stay at home and are responsible for giving birth and raising children.


    ��Are your parents starting to push you to get married?��


    But I am not short of money and I have the ability to take care of my children. The male role of a husband is of no use to me.


    Even after the country on the other side of the ocean became wealthy, this kind of thing became common.


    After all, these women are rich and have the ability to take care of their children without men. They don��t have enough working hours and have enough money to hire professional nannies.


    Because of this, these women are very critical. After all, they do not want to give birth to a child with congenital defects.


    But Luo An never expected that this kind of thing would actually happen to him.


    ?Taking a deep breath and suppressing the messy thoughts in his mind, Luo An threw the NGA certificate back to Louise and said softly:


    "Does Miss Louise have anything else to do? If not, our investigation team still has work to deal with, so let''s stop here today."


    Hearing Luo An reject her, Louise leaned forward, crossed her hands on the table, looked at Luo An with burning eyes, and said:


    ��Team leader Luo An is not satisfied with the price? US$1.5 million is fine!��


    Luo An didn��t reply. Louise��s expression remained unchanged and she continued to increase the price: ��Two million!��


    ?Luo An stood up from his chair, clasped his right hand and faced the door of the conference room.


    ��Then $3 million!��


    ??Louis stood up and walked to Luo An, raised her head and stared into Luo An''s eyes, and said:


    ��How about $3 million and 50 coins?��


    ?Luo An was a little surprised:


    ��piece?��


    He always thought the other person was talking about milliliters.


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Seeing Luo An��s expression change, the corners of Louise��s mouth raised slightly:


    ��3 million and 50 pieces. Leader Luo An, you are definitely the most valuable man in the world.��


    ����


    Luo An twitched his lips, walked to the other side of the conference table, stuffed the NGA ID back into Louise''s handbag, then gave the bag to Louise and said:


    ��Sorry, Miss Louise, I have no intention of making money from this. Thank you for your compliment.��


    Before Louise could speak, Luo An opened the door of the conference room and shouted:


    ��Lacie, Chenelle, do you a favor and send Miss Louise away!��


    ��OK!��x2


    ??Lacie and Chenelle immediately agreed and left the work station to walk here. Louise stared at Luo An for a moment, hummed softly, turned around and left the office area with the two women.


    The door to the office area was closed. Mona slowly came over and asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, what did this female reporter just talk to you about?��


    ?Luo An closed his eyes, rubbed his temples helplessly, and replied:


    ��A big deal worth hundreds of millions was not negotiated... This is the first time I know I am so valuable.��


    ???��


    ?Mona��s face was full of confusion and she didn��t understand what Luo An meant.


    Without explaining to Mona in detail, after Chenelle and Lacey returned to the office, Roan began to handle the follow-up of the case with the agents, and returned to the FBI Washington headquarters the next day.


    ??The detectives continued to work in the office area of ??Investigation Team 13. Luo An took the case-related folders to Veranith''s office and briefly described the case and the situation of the female reporter Louise.


    ?However, Luo An did not talk about the subsequent transaction, but simply talked about NGA and certificates.


    ?After listening to Luo An��s description, Veranith didn��t have the slightest surprise on her face. After pondering for a few seconds, she looked up at Luo An and said:


    ��Actually, in addition to the federal National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), other departments have also issued you letters of appointment and certificates.��


    ��What?��


    ?Luo An looked confused. Veranith opened the drawer of her desk, found a file bag and handed it to him.


    Luo An opened the document bag and found that there were several colorful documents inside, each with a different pattern printed on the surface.


    ��These documents come from the Federal Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Federal National Reconnaissance Service (NRO), the Federal Office of National Security Intelligence (OICI), the Coast Guard Intelligence Service (CGI), and the Federal National Security Service (NSA).��


    ����


    Looking at these green, black, and purple documents, a half-length photo of himself in the documents, and the appointment letter of his appointment as a secret agent of the department, Luo An''s lips twitched:


    ��Sir, is this the privilege given to me by the federal president?��


    Verineth rolled her eyes and said:


    ��If it were the President of the Federation, then the Secret Service (USSS) should be included in these documents, but because of you, the Secret Service made a big mistake this time.��


    ��Then what��s going on?��


    ��It��s Luo An who made some people unable to sit still.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 614： Fu Jiang, Luo An’s code name

    Chapter 614: General Fu, Luo An��s code name


    At the FBI''s Washington headquarters, in Veranith''s office, Luo An held a document bag in his hand and looked at the pile of documents inside with confusion:


    ��Can��t sit still?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Veranith crossed her hands on the desk, looked at Luo An with burning eyes, and said:


    ��This is Washington, D.C., and there are no secrets here.


    ??The reason why Congress Speaker Mike Monroe stepped down was that his direct contacts were our FBI Director Robert and Mr. Clement.


    But the person who made this happen is actually you, the leader of Investigation Team 13, Roan Greenwood. "


    ?Luo An��s mouth twitched:


    ��In other words, I have an extra group of enemies?��


    ��I can��t mention enemies. At most, there is only some conflict of interest.��


    Veranis shook her head and said with a smile:


    ��This is Washington, D.C., where exchange of interests and mutual compromise are the rules of the game. Those who break the rules will only be attacked in groups and will not end well.


    ?In addition, your status is not high, and those who stand at the top will not pay too much attention to you.


    Plus our FBI Director Robert and Mr. Clement are standing in front of you, so you don��t have to worry. "


    As long as it is a department that actually does things, it will encounter some difficult problems that require professionals to solve them.


    Not only have the two parties in the parliament been interrupted in many plans and plans, but this incident will also have a lot of impact on the next presidential election.


    ?After listening to Veranith��s explanation, Luo An suddenly realized, and then showed a strange look on his face:


    ?Luo An was stunned for a moment and thought carefully for a few seconds before he figured out what Veranith meant and asked:


    Vereny thought for a while and said:


    ��In that country in the east, there is a word called ��lucky general��. Have you heard of it?��


    ??Those in the federal government who stand at the highest level have national affairs, party interests and self-interest in their minds and will not focus most of their energy on Luo An.


    ��Sir, are you talking about ��Fujiang��?��


    ��That��s right, that��s the word.��


    ��That��s right.��


    Earlier, the investigation rate of No. 5 Investigation Team was not 100%, only maintained between 45% and 52%.


    Veranith nodded, then raised her hands to rest on her chin, looked at Luo An with sparkling eyes, and said with a smile:


    ��With a 100% crime detection rate, you are definitely a professional among professionals.��


    ?However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is not Luo An''s problem, because he has not been working in the No. 5 Investigation Team for a long time.


    ?Departments such as the Federal Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Federal National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), and the Federal Office of National Security Intelligence (OICI) are different. They are all departments that actually do things.


    ��Then what��s going on with these documents?��


    But other federal departments at the same level as our FBI, your case has attracted their attention. "


    Veranith nodded, glanced at Luo An appreciatively, and explained with a smile:


    ��The impact of Congress Speaker Mike Monroe��s incident is actually far greater than you think, Roan.


    ��So, I am a ��professional�� in the eyes of these departments.��


    ?Hearing Veranith''s explanation, Luo An''s eyes flashed with an imperceptible light. The light quickly disappeared. Luo An''s expression remained the same, showing no abnormality at all, and then asked:


    From the Special Investigation Team in Los Angeles to Investigation Team 13 at the Washington headquarters, under the leadership of Luo An, his team''s crime detection rate has always been maintained at 100%.


    ?But again, those who are really at the top will not pay too much attention to you, because in their eyes, you just stumbled upon this case by accident.


    The people who really made a big deal out of this matter were Director Robert and Mr. Clement, and they would attract most of the attention.


    A few days ago, not long after the Congress announced the re-election of the speaker, Veranith received a call from a woman.


    The woman is none other than the Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security, Dorothy Bush (Chapter 221).


    ?The purpose of her phone call was to ask Veranith to borrow Luo An for a period of time so that Luo An could help her handle a case.


    Because Dorothy Bush''s private life was somewhat chaotic, and her personality was arrogant and looked down upon others, the relationship between Veranith and her was quite average, or even very bad. In the past, the two rarely called each other. Hearing Dorothy Bush''s request, Veranith rejected the request without hesitation and let out a sigh of relief.


    ?Dorothy Bush was so angry that her teeth were itching, but there was nothing she could do because Roan was from Veranith and had no intention of changing her family.


    Thinking of this incident, Veranith��s smile grew stronger and she said from the bottom of her heart:


    "Coupled with the cases you have solved in the past, Luo An, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a "lucky general"."


    ��Thank you for the compliment, sir.��


    ?Luo An smiled, and after figuring out the whole story, he breathed a sigh of relief, then shook the document bag in his hand and asked:


    ��What to do with these documents?��


    ��Just accept it.��


    ?Veriness typed on the keyboard a few times, looked at the computer screen and said:


    ��These departments pay you a lot of salary, which adds up to about 75,000 US dollars per month. If you don��t take it, it will be wasted.��


    ��But what if they ask me to perform some kind of task?��


    Luo An was not distracted by money, but instead focused on practical issues:


    ��Once I receive my salary and become a ��secret agent�� of these departments, then I have no reason to refuse if they ask me to perform tasks.��


    "You really have no reason to refuse, but I do, Mr. Clement does, and even Director Robert does."


    Veranith stopped typing on the keyboard, turned to look at Luo An, and said with a smile:


    ��First, you are from the FBI. The credentials of these departments are only your second and third level identities. All your work content is determined by our FBI.


    Second, it is impossible for these departments to let you perform certain confidential tasks.


    For the same reason, you are from the FBI, and they will never hand over their confidential files to an "outsider."


    The reason why they give you these documents is that they intend to get closer to you, so that it will be easier for both parties to communicate when they ask you for help in the future.


    On the other hand, these departments hope that you will handle certain cases in the future. When you encounter a case that is not suitable for the FBI to intervene but is suitable for some of their departments to handle, you can call them first and notify them to handle it.


    Everyone is doing something, there is competition everywhere, and merit is the most important. "


    ��OK, I understand.��


    ?Luo An nodded, and a flash of understanding flashed through his mind. Some people were extremely greedy for the case of the Speaker of the National Assembly, so they set their sights on him.


    ?These people have no intention of competing with the FBI for meat, but it would be good to have some soup in the future.


    After briefly discussing with Verenis for a while, Luo An stood up and prepared to leave with the document bag in hand.


    At this moment, Veranith suddenly slapped her head and said:


    ��By the way, there are a lot of departments that will give you certificates this time, and they are all secret agents. It��s inappropriate to call them by name. You need a code name.��


    ��Code name?��


    Luo An��s eyes lit up and he asked with a smile:


    ��Like 007 in the movie?��


    The first 007 spy movie was released in 1962, and many movies were released before 2006. Many people in the Federation have watched this series of movies.


    ��That��s right, that��s it.��


    Veranith nodded, and Luo An frowned slightly. He really couldn''t think of anything for a while.


    ?Seeing Luo An hesitate for a long time, Veranis was silent for a few seconds and suggested:


    ��A few codenames come to mind, how about ��Alligator��, ��Tiger Cat��, or ��Pangolin��?��


    Luo An: ������


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 615： april fools day, house, news

    Chapter 615 April Fool��s Day, house, news


    ??Luo An finally rejected Veranith''s proposal, mainly because the code name "Pangolin" sounded unlucky.


    The code name Luo An finally chose was "April Fool''s Day", which had no special meaning simply because his birthday was April 1st, and that day was April Fool''s Day.


    ??Taking the document bag and returning to the office of the leader of Investigation Team No. 13, Luo An sat on the chair, looking at the documents and lost in thought.


    �����ˡ�


    At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the team leader��s office. Luo An came back to his senses, quickly put away his certificate and said:


    "Enter."


    "it''s me."


    ??The person who opened the door and entered the office was Mona. She held an envelope in her hand, shook it and said:


    "I just called downstairs and said that I have your letter. After checking, it was determined that it was not a dangerous item, so I sent someone to deliver it to you."


    ��OK, thank you.��


    ?Mona turned around and left. Luo An took the envelope and opened it. He looked down and found a familiar item inside.


    There was also a capital H in the corner of the envelope. Luo An instantly understood that this was the abbreviation of female reporter Louise Hernandez.


    ��Lacie is planning to buy a house and is asking us to study the layout of several houses.��


    ??Lacie chuckled, picked up a few packages of snacks from her desk and gave them to Luo An, with her hands on her hips and she said proudly:


    ��I��ve saved enough money to buy a house!��


    Michelle brought Luo An a cup of coffee and said with a smile:


    ��And it��s the price of two houses.��


    It is the certificate and appointment letter of [Federal National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)-Secret Agent].


    The federal National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), part of the Department of Defense, is responsible for coordinating, collecting and analyzing intelligence collected from space shuttles and satellites.


    When encountering certain things in the future, Luo An''s complete identity was covered up layer by layer, which dazzled others.


    ? Luo An put the certificate away and hid it. It didn��t matter if there was no CIA. Whether it was DIA or NSA, they could pretend to be CIA.


    Luo An rubbed his temples helplessly. He just got the secret agent certificates of 5 departments from Veranith. With this book, he actually became 6 federations in just a few days. A secret agent of the government.


    ?Mona patted Lacey on the shoulder and smiled:


    ��Lacie is amazing!��


    ��Unfortunately, there is no CIA.��


    ��That��s right!��


    ?And an old acquaintance, the federal National Security Agency (NSA), part of the Department of Defense, is responsible for collecting and analyzing foreign and domestic communications data.


    ?After taking a short break and walking out of the team leader''s office, Luo An saw everyone in the office area chatting around Lacey, so he walked up and asked with a smile:


    ��What are you talking about?��


    ?Luo An was speechless, and then suddenly realized that he worked in the FBI, and with these documents, it seemed that he had reasons and identities to intervene in most incidents that occurred in the federation.


    ? Luo An lined up 6 documents. The Federal Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is a foreign military intelligence organization under the Ministry of Defense. It mainly includes federal embassies in other countries and foreign military attach��s.


    ??The Federal Office for National Security Intelligence (ONSI), part of the Ministry of Justice, is responsible for collecting intelligence information on drug trafficking organizations.


    The federal National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), under the federal Department of Defense, is an agency mainly responsible for collecting, analyzing and disseminating geographical intelligence.


    ??Coast Guard Intelligence (CGI), part of the Department of Homeland Security, handles various maritime law enforcement matters.


    Luo An was stunned for a moment and looked at Lacey in surprise:


    ��Are you planning to buy a house?��


    ��I��m not great, the one who is great is Luo An.��


    ??Lacie hugged Mona''s arm, looked at Luo An with a smile, gave Luan a thumbs up, and said:


    ��If Luo An hadn��t helped me with suggestions and suggested that I buy stocks in Apple, Microsoft and other companies, and several investigation teams would have taken me along along the way, I wouldn��t have been able to complete my small life goal so quickly.��


    ??Although Luo An often eats the snacks purchased by Lacey and often bullies Lacey when there is no case, among the people in the No. 13 Investigation Team, apart from Mona, it is Lacey who trusts Luo An the most.


    ?Michelle, Winslow, and Chenelle also trust Roan very much, but they don��t have the trust that Lacey has developed through a lot of experience together over a long period of time.


    Winslow, Chenelle and Michelle were also happy for Lacey. They had no jealous feelings. Firstly, Lacey had been following Luo An for the longest time. Secondly, they had a lot of income and were able to complete their respective goals. Just a matter of time.


    Compared with the excited people, Luo An was very calm. He picked up several house model pictures and other information that Lacey was interested in and looked at them. He was silent for a few seconds and said:


    ��Lacie, I advise you not to buy two houses at the same time.��


    "Um?"


    ?A few people were slightly stunned, Lacey was a little confused:


    ��Why?�� ????��You need to consider more risks.��


    ? Luo An did not discuss topics such as the financial crisis, but explained:


    ��You do have the ability to buy two houses at the same time, but you are only one person and cannot live in two houses at the same time.


    ?In addition, after you buy two houses, you don��t have much money in your hand, and the risk factor is too high. It is better to just buy one house and keep the rest of the money to continue making money in the stock market. "


    ��That makes sense.��


    Winslow, Chenelle and Michelle nodded and turned their attention to Lacey. Lacey didn��t think much and immediately nodded and accepted Roan��s proposal:


    ��OK, then I��ll buy a house.


    Roan, do you think it��s better to live in New York or Washington, D.C.? "


    ��Washington, D.C. is better.��


    Luo An threw the sample pictures and other information in his hand back on the table and said with a smile:


    ��We are working in Washington, D.C., and you still have to stay in Investigation Team 13 and work for me.��


    "cut-"


    Lesi rolled his eyes with a big white, and Luo An laughed. Several people laughed for a moment. Lesse threw the house information in New York to the side. Several people began to discuss the house in Washington, DC.


    During the lunch break, Luo An stood in front of the coffee machine in the lounge and ground coffee for himself. At this moment, Mona came over.


    ?Luo An poured her a cup of coffee. Mona took the cup and looked at Luo An and said:


    ��I thought you would advise Lacey not to buy a house in the short term.��


    "Yeah?"


    ?Luo An picked up the coffee and took a sip, then asked with a smile:


    ��Why do you think so?��


    ��Because you said before that you are not optimistic about the current housing prices in the federation.��


    ??Mona stared at Luo An and said:


    ��You think there��s something wrong with it, and you suggest that I don��t buy a house for investment.��


    Luo An��s eyes moved slightly and he asked with a smile:


    ��You think I��m trying to hurt Lacey?��


    ?Mona said nothing, just looked at Luo An quietly.


    ?Luo An smiled, put down the coffee cup, and said:


    ��Don��t worry, I didn��t trick Lacey.


    You said just now that you plan to buy a house for investment, while Lacey plans to buy a house of her own to live in. The situation is different. "


    ?Mona frowned slightly:


    ��But house prices����


    ?Luo An shook his head:


    ��In the short term, there may be problems with housing prices.


    But don��t forget, this is Washington, D.C., and the houses Lacey looked at are all in wealthy areas. "


    ?Washington, D.C., is the political center of the Union. It is no exaggeration to say that the area closest to the center is very expensive.


    ? After the subprime mortgage crisis, housing prices in Washington, D.C. also fell off a cliff, but they were lifted up not long after, and the people who took action were naturally some big capital and large consortiums.


    ??If Lacey planned to buy a house for investment, she would definitely lose money after the mortgage crisis.


    But Lacey only plans to buy a house to live in. Falling house prices are only a short-term problem for her. In the long run, her house will continue to appreciate in value.


    As for why Lacey is not allowed to buy real estate when house prices fall, it is because Luo An is very worried that Lacey will not be able to grab those shark-like large capital and consortiums.


    "All right."


    After listening to Luo An��s explanation, Mona breathed a sigh of relief. Luo An stepped forward and hugged Mona gently, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Why, are you afraid that I will cheat my team members?��


    ��No, I just...��


    ??Mona was silent for a moment, then put her arms around Luo An''s waist and put her head on his chest. Just as she was about to say something, not far away, Lacey''s shouting, getting closer and closer, suddenly came from not far away:


    ��Luo An! Come out quickly! You are on the news!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 616： Luo An, who cares about human life

    Chapter 616: Luo An, who cares about human life


    FBI Washington Headquarters, Office Area and Lounge of Investigation Team 13.


    Lacie''s shout was so loud that it startled Roan and Mona.


    Hearing the word "news", Mona''s eyebrows instantly rose, she let go of Luo An and quickly left the room, asking:


    ��Lacie, what��s going on? Is it related to the female reporter Louise?��


    ??Luo An didn��t tell Mona the specific content of the conversation between him and Louise in the conference room that day, but Mona just didn��t like Louise.


    Don��t ask, it��s just a woman��s intuition.


    Hearing Lacey say that Roan was on the news, Mona''s first thought was that Louise was causing trouble.


    ??Luo An also frowned slightly, picked up the coffee cup, and followed Mona out of the lounge.


    ��Female reporter Louise?��


    In the office area, Lacey was stunned for a moment when she heard Mona��s words, then she shook her head and said:


    ��It��s not her, it has nothing to do with her, it��s another media that reports on Luo An.��


    ??But when they met the victim��s friend named Lanrisa, the visit of the two daughters failed.


    ?As the wife of Edyn Crane, she is required to pay high compensation for the real estate company��s reputational damage.


    The reason is that if Roan did not capture Aidan Crane, his wife Aubrey Crane would not let their two daughters go to that "disgusting area."


    The two daughters were subsequently rescued by the NYPD, and those with evil intentions were also successfully caught by the NYPD. However, those half an hour or so had turned into a nightmare time that the two daughters would never forget in their lives.


    ??Aubrey Crane was so angry that she had to start arguing with the real estate company with a lawyer. At the same time, she asked her two daughters to find the families of the victims for condolence compensation.


    ??Although Lanrissa did street work at night to make money, she volunteered at a community activity center during the day. After her death, many people complained about her, so her two daughters were kicked out by those people.


    On the other hand, because of Adern Crane��s identity as a serial killer, the real estate company he worked for not only maliciously acquired Adern Crane��s shares, but also sued Aubrey Crane.


    Aubrey Crane was in the hospital, and when she saw her two tortured daughters, she became furious. She not only sued those with bad intentions, but also sued Lanrisa''s friends, and even prepared to sue Luo An.


    Look at the article carefully, the content inside is mainly related to Aubrey Crane.


    ?Most of the relatives of the victims, who had a normal relationship with the victim due to their career issues during his lifetime, accepted the gifts and funds, and were persuaded by their two daughters not long after.


    With that said, Lacey handed the newspaper in her hand to Mona. Mona looked down and found that in the center of the newspaper was a photo. Below the photo was an article. The title of the article was:


    uluAnn Greenwood, the leader of an FBI investigation team, does not distinguish between right and wrong, and disregards human life! ��


    The area where that community is located is relatively chaotic. The two daughters are pretty and dress up a bit. In addition, they used to live in a wealthy area and have little experience in how to operate in a chaotic area. So accidentally, the two daughters Then he was kidnapped for more than half an hour by some people with evil intentions.


    Although the two daughters were reluctant, but forced by their mother''s orders, they started visiting relatives of the victims with gifts and funds.


    In the Federation, there is campus discrimination and school violence in schools, and there is also community discrimination and community violence in the community.


    ?After being ostracized both publicly and privately, Aubrey Crane and her two daughters were forced to move out of the posh neighborhood.


    Since the serial killer who targeted street workers, Edwin Crane, was arrested by Roan and others, his wife Aubrey Crane and his two daughters immediately became very embarrassed.


    ?The purpose of doing this is to hope that the victim��s family can express to the judge in court that they have forgiven Ed En Crane, so that Ad En Crane��s sentence can be reduced.


    ?Lanrissa��s situation was somewhat special. She had a close relationship with the old woman who died of liver cancer and worked in a community activity center.


    If they don��t go there, the two daughters will not be kicked out by Lanrisa��s friends, and they will not encounter those terrible things in the end.


    ?So in the final analysis, it is all the fault of Roan Greenwood, the leader of an FBI investigation team, and he is the source of all evil.


    ������xN


    After reading Obri Crane''s tearful accusation in the newspaper, the office area of ??Investigation Team 13 was quiet. Winslow and Chenelle had black lines on their heads, Lacey and Michelle looked at each other, and Mona opened her eyes several times. He talks a lot, but doesn��t know what to say.? ? ? Luo An looked confused as he held the newspaper, not understanding the logic of Aubrey Crane''s thoughts.


    ��Luo An, what are you going to do?��


    ?After a long silence, Cheniel put down the newspaper and asked:


    "Aubrey Crane is asking you to compensate her and her two daughters for a total of $5 million in emotional distress."


    ??Mona threw the newspaper aside, snorted coldly, and said:


    ��I suspect that asking for the money from Roan is Aubrey Crane��s true purpose.��


    "It''s normal that Aubrey Crane doesn''t have much money of her own, and most of the funds that Aidan Crane owns are in the real estate company. Because Aidan Crane is in prison, that company is now completely It��s a bad debt.��


    Michelle folded the newspaper and put it back on the table and said:


    ��This means that although Aubrey Crane still looks glamorous, she may be teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.��


    ?Winslow and Lacey nodded simultaneously, and Mona turned her eyes:


    ��Luo An?��


    ��I sympathize with what happened to the two daughters, but in this serial murder case, all my actions complied with the requirements of federal law, and there were no violations.��


    ?Luo An chuckled, folded the newspaper and returned it to Michelle, and said:


    ��So, it��s impossible to pay for money.��


    Lacie''s eyes moved and she added:


    ��Aubrey Crane has violated your right to reputation by defaming you in the newspaper.


    ?Luo An, you can not only refute the other party, but also ask the lawyer to ask for a mental damage fee from her! "


    After Lacey finished speaking, Winslow suddenly looked at her in surprise. Chenelle, Mona, and Michelle were very surprised.


    ?Luo An smacked his lips and reached out to pat Lacey on the shoulder:


    ��Sure enough, you still understand me.��


    ?Mona frowned slightly:


    "Um��"


    "One yard owned by a yard."


    ? Luo An waved his hand, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the lawyer he knew. At the same time, he explained:


    ��I sympathize with what happened to the two daughters, but that is not the reason why Aubrey Crane took this opportunity to slander me in the newspaper.


    ??I will not ask Aubrey Crane for high compensation of millions of dollars, but I must have the appropriate attitude, otherwise I am afraid more people will unscrupulously slander me in the future.


    For the first time, no one cared, and even regarded it as a joke.


    But the second time, the third time, or even the fourth time, the lie gradually enters people''s hearts, and eventually someone will believe it.


    By then, I guess it was too late to explain. "


    ?After hearing Luo An��s explanation, everyone present suddenly looked serious. Mona said nothing more and even helped Luo An get Aubrey Crane��s contact information.


    Whether this kind of thing is a big deal or a small matter, Luo An doesn''t have the time or need to do it himself, so he leaves it all to a lawyer for handling.


    That night, in the villa that Caroline had left, Roan and Mona had fun and indulged for more than two hours.


    ?Happy end, Mona was too tired and fell asleep. Luo An got up and walked into the bathroom. While washing, he started to check the system page.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 617： System Harvest, Handcuffs

    Chapter 617: System Harvest, Handcuffs


    On the familiar light blue page, the system rated Luo An��s performance during this period as [Excellent], and he accumulated a total of 10 treasure chests.


    The rough cutscene ended quickly, and each of the 10 treasure boxes contained [Stamina Potion x1] [Hemostatic Potion x2] [Danger Sensing Potion x2] [Analgesic Potion x1] [Regeneration Potion x3] [Swift Potion x1]


    Open the system''s warehouse page. At this time, [Stamina Potion x8] has been accumulated in it.


    ��Hemostatic Agent x5��


    ��Antidote x5��


    ��Swift Potion x5��


    ��Strength Potion x4��


    ��Sensitive agent x1��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x7��


    Close his eyes and feel quietly. Not long after, Luo An found that his range of perception had expanded.


    Looking at the last five bottles of [Regeneration Potion], Luo An''s mouth curled up slightly, and he was in a very good mood.


    The next day, Saturday, because he didn''t have to go to work, Luo An lay in bed until about eleven o''clock before lazily leaving the room and walking into the kitchen to prepare lunch.


    There was a bottle of [Sleeping Potion] in one of the compartments before, but when handling a case related to the "organization", Luo An poured it into the truck driver''s mouth, successfully helping the truck driver enter a deep sleep.


    ??The grand pianos and other musical instruments that Caroline had bought before were piled in the corner of the room by Mona, covered with a layer of cloth to prevent dust from falling, and never opened again.


    ��The needle does not poke.��


    ??Although [Regeneration Potion] cannot instantly restore the wound to its original state, its effectiveness is unquestionable, and if used properly, it can definitely save your life at a critical moment.


    ?Mona was not in the villa. She made an agreement with Chenelle, Lacey and Michelle before getting off work last night to go see houses and go shopping with Lacey today, so she left the villa just after seven o''clock in the morning.


    ��Featherfall Potion x4��


    ��But it��s better not to get hurt if you can.��


    ?However, as long as she goes shopping, Mona''s legs can quickly recover as before.


    In the kitchen, Luo An made himself a large portion of beef stew with potatoes, and ate it with rice. He packed up the kitchen utensils and sat on the sofa to play games for more than an hour. Then he entered the corner room and started boxing to exercise.


    ?Looking away from the [Regeneration Potion], Luo An took out three bottles of [Danger Sensing Potion], raised his head and poured them all into his stomach.


    ??Luo An grinned, closed the system page, finished washing and returned to the room, hugged Mona and closed his eyes.


    ��Regeneration Potion x5��


    ��Scuba Potion x3��


    ��Danger Sense Potion x3��


    The detection distance of "emotional perception" was about 13 meters before, but this time it has increased by a quarter. The detection distance is more than 16 meters, but less than 17 meters, about 16.5 meters.


    ?Of course, the situation of weak legs and shaky legs still exists after getting up after getting up.


    ??This is something Luo An admires about Mona very much. Perhaps because he has gradually become accustomed to playing high-end games with Luo An, now no matter what time it is at night, Mona can get up on time the next day.


    ?The length of a common A-class sedan on the market is generally about 4.3 meters. The distance of 16.5 meters is approximately equal to 3.5 A-class sedans. With Luoan as the center, the circular area with a radius of 16.5 meters is already quite large.


    After exercising, Luo An returned to the living room, opened his laptop, and began to check federal real estate information.


    Ever since he came to this world and earned his first bonus, Luo An has always focused on food.


    ?From New York to Los Angeles, to Las Vegas, and a trip to Europe in between. As long as there is time, Luo An and Mona will taste various specialties together.


    ? Luo An calculated the money he spent on various specialty foods some time ago, and was surprised to find that the money had exceeded US$500,000.


    ??On that trip to Europe, Roan and Mona tasted delicious food for a week in a Michelin restaurant in Paris adjacent to the Louvre Museum.


    The two later went to the Alps, a luxury resort at an altitude of 2,468 meters, and enjoyed many special meals at a restaurant called "La Marmite", the highest gourmet restaurant in the Alps.


    Humans have many desires. In addition to the basic desire for survival, from the perspective of seeking happiness, they include desire for food, body, power, money, and the desire to achieve ideals, etc.


    ? Luo An is not very keen on power, and Mona is with him when it comes to sex. In addition to satisfying his appetite, the money he earns is used more to make money.


    ?Because he knew that the financial crisis would break out, Luo An did not spend a lot of money he earned before. Instead, he accumulated most of the funds and prepared to make a fortune in the subprime mortgage crisis. Some time ago, he went to Wall Street and spent $450 million to buy a large sum of CDS financial products. Now Luo An is checking federal real estate, just waiting for the CDS to be sold. He wants to buy high-value properties that have been driven down by the subprime mortgage crisis. Sit back and wait for appreciation.


    "I''m back."


    Not long after, the door of the villa was opened, and Mona walked in carrying a bunch of things.


    Putting on slippers and walking into the living room, Mona put the purchased items aside, sat down on the sofa, and let out a long breath:


    ��I��m exhausted.��


    Luo An looked at the time and found that it was not yet three o''clock in the afternoon, so he asked:


    ��Why did you come back so early?��


    ��When I was tired from walking, I came back.��


    Mona replied casually, then rubbed her sore feet and explained:


    ��Lacie has decided which villa she wants to buy, but she didn��t decide on the spot. Instead, she prepared to negotiate with the property sales for a long time.


    Later, she went shopping with me, Chenelle, and Michelle, bought some things, and then went back to our respective homes. "


    ? Luo An nodded and used it to bargain with the other party when buying things. This was indeed Lacey''s style.


    ??Mona turned to look at Luo An''s laptop and found that there was information and photos of a villa on it, and she was suddenly a little surprised:


    ��You want to buy a house too?��


    ��Yes, but not now.��


    ??Luo An smiled and did not explain much. Instead, he took the laptop to Mona and introduced:


    ��This villa is located in a wealthy area on the coast of California. It has convenient transportation, a large area, three floors, an outdoor swimming pool, and you can see the sea from the bedroom. What do you think?��


    "Wow."


    Looking at the photo where the swimming pool and the sea complement each other under the sunset, and the luxurious villa full of technology, Mona''s eyes lit up and she exclaimed.


    After typing on the keyboard a few times, she scrolled down the page and saw the price of the villa at the bottom of the picture. Mona''s eyes suddenly widened, and she exclaimed with shock on her face:


    ��Price for $117 million?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An took the computer back and said with a smile:


    ��It��s indeed a bit expensive.��


    "A bit expensive?"


    Mona looked at Luo An with a grin, then suddenly crossed her arms over her chest and said with a serious face:


    ��Luo An, you have changed.��


    ?Luo An turned around in confusion, and Mona snorted softly:


    ��You��ve become bad and become more pretentious.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, stepped forward, hugged Mona''s slender waist, kissed her on the mouth, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Then do you like it?��


    "dislike."


    ??Mona raised her lips slightly, pushed Luo An down, stood up and sat on him, condescendingly like a wanton queen, and said arrogantly:


    ��That��s why I��m going to punish you.��


    "Wow."


    ?Seeing Mona take out a pair of handcuffs from nowhere, Luo An raised his eyebrows:


    ��I��m an FBI, ma��am, and you��re committing a crime.��


    ?At this moment, Luo An��s cell phone suddenly rang.


    The two of them were forced to stop. Luo An couldn''t answer the call because his hands were inconvenient, so Mona took out her phone and pressed the answer button.


    "problem occurs."


    Winslow''s voice was on the other end of the phone, and his tone was urgent:


    ��Luo An��s name appeared at the scene of a murder.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 618： [The case involving Luo An’s name at the explosion scene]

    Chapter 618 [Case involving Luo An��s name at the explosion site]


    ��Murder scene? Luo An��s name?��


    Hearing Winslow''s words, Mona''s face instantly became very ugly. Luo An, whose hands were cuffed together next to her, quickly grabbed the phone and motioned for Mona to get the key to unlock it for him, while asking:


    ��What exactly happened? Where did you see this news?��


    ��I��m in New York now.��


    Winslow on the other end of the phone said that he met the proprietress of a restaurant in New York when he had dinner there before. It happened to be his day off, so he went to New York and planned to ask her out to go shopping.


    When the two were dating, an NYPD officer suddenly appeared next to him. After the other party revealed his identity, he took out his mobile phone and showed him a set of photos, which showed a bombing that occurred half an hour ago. Luo An''s body was found at the scene. name.


    ��NYPD?��


    ?Luo An frowned, and Mona beside her quickly found the key and opened the handcuffs on Luo An''s wrists.


    ?At this moment, Mona��s cell phone suddenly rang. She pressed the answer button, and Veranith��s voice came from it:


    ��Mona, where is Roan?��


    Veranith was a little surprised. After hearing Luo An��s explanation, she nodded and said:


    ��Yes, your name appears at the crime scene, and you need to go there anyway.��


    ��It��s me, sir.��


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��It was a bombing, right?��


    Verenice asked:


    ��Why couldn��t you get through on the phone just now?��


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona followed closely behind and went upstairs together. Remembering the 100% case detection rate of Investigation Team 13, she asked solemnly:


    ��Is it a provocation?��


    ����


    After hanging up the phone, Mona immediately came over and asked after putting away the handcuffs:


    ��It��s not clear yet, let��s wait until we get to New York.��


    ��No problem, sir.��


    "be safe."


    ��Perhaps, the federal land is so large that there is never a shortage of ��talents��.��


    ??Take the elevator and arrive at the sixth floor. The moment the elevator door opens, a thick black color instantly catches Luo An''s eyes.


    At four-thirty in the afternoon, in the central office building of a business district in southern New York.


    Luo An replied casually, and Veranith did not ask in detail after hearing the words, but asked directly:


    ��You are leaving for New York immediately����


    ��I��m on the phone with Winslow.��


    Close the laptop, Luo An went upstairs to change clothes, and said as he walked:


    ��The murderer behind the case may have come after me.��


    ?This was originally a large office, but at this time it was in a mess. The floor was covered with paper, rags, chairs, wood chips and other garbage.


    ??Mona didn''t say anything and handed the phone directly to Luo An. Luo An threw the handcuffs aside and asked:


    ��What exactly happened?��


    ?In addition to turning the wall black due to the explosion, there were also a lot of dark red meat scraps on it. Luo An, who had a keen sense of smell, could faintly smell the smell of barbecue.


    ��What a terrifying bomb.��


    ??Looking at the Trace Inspection Department dealing with human tissue adhering to the wall, Mona and Chenelle, who rushed here with Luo An, looked very ugly.


    ��Team leader.��


    Not far away, Winslow, who had already arrived here, was talking to two NYPDs. When he saw Luo An and others arriving, he immediately walked up to say hello, and then introduced:


    ��This is Sergeant Tom from the NYPD.��


    ��Hello, Mr. Sheriff.��


    Luo An shook hands with the police sergeant in front of him, who had a big belly, a round face, and almost no hair.


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    ? Sheriff Tom nodded, and the two briefly exchanged greetings. He handed the white evidence bag in his hand to Luo An and introduced:


    ��The culprit of the explosion was an express package filled with high explosives.


    ?In addition to the bomb package, there was another smaller express box at the scene, which was hidden in the corner of the office door. After the explosion, the office was in a mess, but the small express box outside was preserved.


    Open the small express box, and this is what''s inside. "


    ?Several people present turned their attention to the transparent evidence bag held by Luo An. Inside was a common A4 paper with fold marks in the middle.


    There is a black [X] pattern in the corner of the A4 paper, and a sentence is written in the center of the paper. Chenier read it word for word:


    ��Roan Greenwood, youareafunnyman, let\''splayagame.


    (Roan Greenwood, you are an interesting man, let��s play a game)��


    ������xN


    After Chenelle read the specific content of the text, her face instantly became extremely ugly. Mona''s expression also darkened instantly. Winslow next to her also frowned. Sheriff Tom and others looked at Luo with different expressions. install.


    ??Police Chief Tom sighed. They had all heard of Luo An''s reputation in the past. If nothing else, he felt that Luo An might not be able to survive this difficulty.


    ??Mona also had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She looked up at Luo An and was shocked to find that Luo An was not panicked or angry at all. His facial expression remained unchanged and he was still very calm.


    ?Mona was a little confused and asked in a low voice:


    ��I��m fine.��


    ??Roan waved his hand to interrupt Mona, handed the transparent evidence bag to Chenelle, then looked at Sheriff Tom and asked:


    ��Are there any other things left by the murderer at the scene?��


    ��We haven��t found it yet.��


    Seeing the calm face of Luo An, Sheriff Tom was a little surprised, a flash of admiration flashed in his heart, and then shook his head and replied:


    ��Your FBI Trace Inspection Section is processing the scene and they may find something.��


    ��OK.��


    After a brief discussion, Chief Tom left first with his NYPD.


    Since the scene was extremely badly damaged by bombs, it would take time for the Trace Inspection Section to process it carefully, so Luo An led several agents from Investigation Team 13 out of the scene and to the area on the other side of the office that was not damaged by bombs.


    ?A few people stood still, Mona quickly took the transparent evidence bag and said:


    ��Luo An, this guy is obviously coming for you.��


    ��That��s right.��


    Winslow nodded and said seriously:


    ��This kind of person is either crazy or mentally ill. We must not let the other party lead us by the nose.��


    ��Don��t forget the media, people.��


    Chenelle frowned and said:


    "This matter must not be reported by the media. Otherwise, if those people label Luo An a "Sherlock Holmes" and follow us for news, and always observe our every move in the process of solving the case, then we may be unilaterally transparent. In the eyes of the murderer, it is even more impossible to find and catch him.


    ??Once we finally fail, the media will trample Luo An as high as they praise him in the front. "


    ?Mona nodded repeatedly and added:


    ��And once this kind of thing is reported, if other cases happen during the period, all the media will focus on Luo An.


    Even if Luo An catches the murderer, the media will insult and ridicule Luo An. "


    The more Mona, Chenelle and Winslow discussed, the uglier their faces became and their hearts became heavier.


    Finally, everyone turned their attention to Luo An and asked:


    ��Luo An, what are you going to do?��


    ��As for the media, I will call Veranith and ask her to help handle it.��


    If she becomes infamous, Veranith will not gain any benefits, especially Mr. Clement behind her, so Luo An can be sure that Veranith or Mr. Clement will definitely take action. Help him with the media aspect.


    ��I am mainly thinking about the murderer.��


    Roan took the transparent evidence bag from Mona��s hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked:


    ��Everyone, do you feel that the content on the paper is not quite right?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 619： The courier who returns to the world

    Chapter 619 The courier who returns to the world


    ��Something��s wrong?��


    Hearing Roan��s words, Chenelle and Winslow looked puzzled, and Mona asked:


    ��What��s wrong?��


    ��The content on the paper is that the murderer said he wanted to play a game with me.��


    Luo An spread his hands and said:


    ��But what about the rules of the game? What about the clues to the next level?


    Even if the murderer wanted to make things difficult for me and didn��t write down the rules of the game on paper or the clues for the next level, there should always be something at the scene that didn��t originally belong there.


    However, the trace examination department has been processing for so long, and apart from the flesh and blood of the victims, no other abnormalities have been found. "


    Mona and Chenelle looked at each other with their brows furrowed. Winslow thought for a while and guessed:


    ��Is there a possibility that the small express box containing the paper belongs to someone in this office?


    ?This person is the one who wants to "play games" with you, Luo An.


    ?Luo An frowned slightly. He still felt that there was something wrong with Chenier''s analysis, but he could not rule out that possibility.


    ��No, the murderer��s target should be me.��


    Chenier and the other three frowned in thought after hearing this. Suddenly, Mona thought of something and her expression changed. She raised her head and said:


    ��Is there a possibility that the murderer just wanted to make this matter bigger?


    The package was opened and the bomb exploded, so the guy who wanted to "play a game" died in this office together with others. "


    ��How��s it going over there?��


    ��Luo An, what you just meant is that the murderer��s target is not actually you?��


    ?Luo An can ask Veranith for help to prevent the media from reporting on this case.


    ?Luo An shook his head and explained:


    ?Mona and Winslow immediately started yelling, and Chenelle looked at Roan:


    Cheniel thought about it for a while, her face also changed drastically, and she added:


    ��Let everyone pay attention to this case, and then deliberately leave no clues...The murderer is to let Luo An not find him, and eventually his reputation will be ruined!��


    "But I feel that the real idea of ??the guy who wrote this letter is not to "play games" with me. He should have other purposes."


    But another person, for some reason, mailed a package bomb to this office.


    ��What do we do next?��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ��It��s just that there are too many coincidences.��


    ������x3


    ?After hearing Winslow��s guess, Mona and Chenelle were speechless, and Luo An��s mouth twitched:


    ��Your idea... is very novel.��


    Chenelle rolled her eyes at Winslow, then turned her gaze to Luo An and asked:


    "damn it!"


    ?? unable to figure out the logic of the murderer''s actions in a short time, Luo An simply put it aside for the time being, took out his mobile phone and called Lacey:


    ??Lacie and Michelle came to New York with Luo An and others before. After arriving at this building, the two women were assigned some other tasks by Luo An.


    ??But the murderer can also find the media and let the media report the matter! "


    ��The work went very smoothly and we have obtained all the surveillance videos of this building.��


    Lacie on the other end of the phone laughed, looked at the computer in front of Michelle next to her, and said:


    ��Michelle found the surveillance before the explosion and discovered a suspicious courier.


    ?But the surveillance camera didn��t catch the guy��s face, so Michelle won��t be able to find out his identity for a while, so Mona needs to come here to help. "


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Roan praised a few words and briefly described the matter to Mona. Mona nodded immediately and agreed without hesitation:


    ��I��ll go downstairs to deal with it.��


    ??Mona turned around and left quickly. Roan then turned his eyes to Chenelle and Winslow and said:


    ��After the explosion, there were several survivors at the scene and they are currently being rescued in a hospital.


    You two go to the hospital, wait for the survivors to wake up, and briefly ask what happened before the explosion to see if you can get any useful clues. "


    "clear."


    "no problem."


    ? Chenier and Winslow nodded and walked quickly to the elevator not far away. In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Luo An first called Veranith, then looked at the transparent evidence bag in his hand, then turned his gaze to the slowly setting sun in the distance, and began to think seriously.


    Not long after, Luo An��s cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, and Mona��s voice sounded on the phone:


    ��Luo An, I found the guy who delivers the courier!��


    ��Good.��


    Luo An put away the transparent evidence bag, walked quickly to the elevator not far away, and asked:


    ��What��s that guy��s name?��


    ��Blake Morse, 45 years old this year.��


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone quickly replied:


    ��However, when this person��s information was entered into the FBI��s internal database, it showed that this was a false identity.


    ?The courier��s real name is Ham Mark. He is 49 years old and has a sexual assault case on his body. "


    ��What does it mean to carry a case of sexual assault?��


    ?Luo An asked in confusion:


    ��Did he not be caught by law enforcement? Or was it something else?��


    ��No, Ham-Mark was caught by the police somewhere three years ago.��


    ??Mona replied:


    ��But before the court hearing, Ham-Mark applied for parole, and while on parole, he found a way to sneak away from law enforcement.


    The whereabouts of this guy have been unknown since then, until he was discovered by us today. "


    ��So, a person disappeared for a long time, and when he reappeared, he carried a package and blew up a group of people.��


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��This way of making a comeback is really novel.��


    ??Mona agreed:


    ��It��s really novel, and this guy also knows your name, Luo An.��


    The elevator door closed and the two temporarily stopped communicating on the phone. Luo An quickly arrived on the first floor of the building and opened the door of an office. Luo An asked directly:


    ��Where is Mr. Hammark now?��


    In the office, Mona and Michelle each sat behind a laptop, and Lacey stood beside them waiting.


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Mona typed on the keyboard a few times and answered quickly:


    ��Ham-Mark has no tax payment records in the past three years, no bank card, and no bank account. He most likely uses cash for transactions in his daily life.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged:


    ��So, we can��t find him?��


    ��No, I��ve found it.��


    ??Mona raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a proud look on her face:


    ��I spotted him on surveillance camera at a bus station in Western New York.


    ?Bus station records show that he used cash to buy a bus ticket to Massachusetts, and the bus had already left for forty minutes. "


    ��It seems our Mr. Ham-Mark is moving very quickly.��


    ?Seeing the information on the computer, Luo An grinned and ordered:


    ��Mona, Michelle, please contact the bus station and ask them to contact the bus driver, tell the driver that there is a fugitive on the bus, and let him rest at the front station for a while.


    ? Lacey, contact the SWAT team and we''ll set out to bring Mr. Hammucker back to New York. "


    "no problem!"


    "clear!"


    ? Michelle and Mona agreed loudly, and Lacey followed Luo An quickly out of the office. The two of them got into the SUV of Investigation Team 13 at the same time, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car instantly rushed out in the direction of the target.


    ?At around six o''clock in the evening, there was heavy traffic on the highways in New York City, but the SUV driven by Luo An was like a dexterous fish in the sea, weaving left and right and heading into the distance at high speed under the astonished eyes of passers-by and drivers.


    Not long after, Mona��s voice sounded from the communicator in Luo An and Lacey��s ears:


    ��We have contacted the bus driver, who is very cooperative and said that the next stop is still twenty minutes away.��


    ��OK, thank you for me.��


    ??Luo An nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, Lacey''s cell phone suddenly rang. After the phone was connected, Cheniel''s voice rang out:


    ��Luo An, a new situation has been discovered at the hospital.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 620： action, bomb

    Chapter 620 Action, Bomb


    ?At around six o''clock in the evening, on a very crowded road in New York City with many vehicles, an SUV flashed with red and blue lights on its roof, moving left and right at high speed into the distance.


    "Hospital?"


    Hearing Chenelle��s words, Lacey in the passenger seat silently fastened her seat belt and asked quickly:


    ��What��s going on there?��


    ��One of the survivors has woken up.��


    Chenier said that the scene where the explosion occurred was a design company closely related to women��s cosmetics and women��s clothing.


    The package bomb exploded, killing a total of 5 people on the spot. 8 people were seriously injured and were being rescued in the hospital''s operating room. Nearly 20 people with minor injuries were hospitalized for bandaging.


    The survivor Chenier mentioned was one of the eight seriously injured people. She introduced:


    ��The survivor was a female designer and she said the explosion was revenge.��


    ��Retaliation?!��


    Lacey looked stern and looked up at Luo An. Luo An looked calm, but because it was inconvenient to hold his phone while driving, he asked directly:


    ��Mary said that Carlton was a staunch gun supporter and believed that owning guns was a sacred and inviolable basic right of federal citizens.��


    ��What exactly happened?��


    ��So, this Carlton had a run-in with an anti-gun organization or group?��


    Luo An raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Lacey grinned and thought of something and asked:


    ??Lacie smacked her lips and didn''t know what to say. Luo An drove his SUV over a car and asked:


    Chenelle replied:


    ��There are, and there are many.��


    ��That��s right.��


    ��Didn��t the design company warn Carlton about these things?��


    ��This is really...a talent.��


    Chenelle replied:


    Chenelle smiled and said:


    ��In addition, Carlton is one of the top designers of the design company. One person is responsible for almost one-eighth of the company��s performance. How could he be fired?��


    ��That��s because you haven��t seen ��reasonable optimization��.��


    ?Because of his high level of knowledge and excellent verbal skills, many anti-gun organizations could not speak to him, so he was on the blacklist of many anti-gun organizations. "


    ��There��s no, you know, ��free speech��.��


    ��The female designer��s name was Mary, and one of her male colleagues was named Carlton. She was the one sitting in the middle of the office, unpacking the package bomb, and the victim was bombed everywhere.��


    ?Chenelle on the other end of the phone walked into a place with few people and explained:


    "Wow."


    ��Is there any specific person or organization that Miss Mary suspects?��


    ��Carlton went to work normally and then went to argue with some anti-gun groups after get off work.


    Luo An said casually, and then asked:


    ��I��ve written down the list.��


    ��Remember to send the list to Mona later.��


    ?Roan nodded, praised Chenelle a few words, and then Lacey hung up the phone.


    Leaving the center of New York City, the number of vehicles on the road suddenly decreased, and the speed of the SUV increased. Lacey looked at the rapidly reversing street lights, thought for a moment, and asked:


    ��Those anti-gun organizations that Chenille mentioned just now seem to have nothing to do with you, Luo An.


    ??If the murderer is really those people, why did the other party leave the piece of paper with your name at the scene of the explosion? "


    ��So I said before, the other party is most likely coming for me.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said:


    ��I��m afraid the other party just wants me to handle this case.��


    Lacey frowned when she heard this: "But what is the purpose of the other party doing this? Does he really want to ruin your reputation?"


    ? Luo An did not answer Lacey. There were so many thoughts in his mind that he thought of another possibility.


    The SUV sped along, and twenty-five minutes later, Luo An and Lacey finally saw the shadow of the bus.


    ??Seeing the front of the bus, Lacey had already taken off the red and blue flashing lights on the roof. Luo An drove the SUV and hung it leisurely far behind the bus to prevent attracting the attention of the target person.


    Not long after, the bus arrived at the rest stop in front. The driver slowly parked the bus to the side of the road, stood up, turned around and shouted to the passengers:


    ��It��s time for the rest area, everyone!


    The bus will stop here for ten minutes. I need to check the status of the bus. You can get off the bus to breathe fresh air, or you can go to the bathroom at the end to take care of your personal hygiene! "


    ��OK!��


    "worn out��"


    ��I can finally go to the bathroom����


    Passengers in the bus agreed, took their personal belongings and got off the bus to rest.


    The folk customs of the Federation are relatively simple after all, and no one dares to leave valuables directly on the seat.


    ?At the same time, in another parking space not far away, Luo An and Lacey opened the car door and stepped out of the SUV after checking their guns and ammunition.


    Behind the bus, a thin white man with messy gray hair, wearing a brown jacket and carrying a travel bag in his left hand, just got off the bus and was taking out cigarettes from his pocket, ready to smoke one to relieve his fatigue.


    At this moment, the thin white man suddenly noticed that some other passengers not far away had changed their expressions, and some even ran away. He quickly turned back to see what happened.


    �O


    ?The next second, a huge force suddenly came from behind. The thin white man only felt a pain in his back, and then he fell forward uncontrollably.


    Luo An ran quickly and kicked Ham Mark, the target of the trip, to the ground. Lacey quickly followed and took out the handcuffs, quickly grabbed his hands and cuffed them together, and pressed her knees against his back. :


    ��FBI! Don��t move!��


    ��Fu-k!��


    ?Ham-Mark, who was pressed to the ground, was red in the face. While struggling wildly, he cursed and shouted:


    ��Let me go! Let me go quickly!


    Let me tell you, there is a bomb in my bag!


    ??If you don��t let me go, we��ll all die together! "


    Hearing the word "bomb", Lacey''s expression changed instantly. The passers-by who were watching the theater from a distance suddenly thought of the car where she had been sitting with the bomb for so long, and their hair stood on end, and they ran away screaming:


    ��Run! There��s a bomb!��


    "Help!"


    In the blink of an eye, except for Luo An and the other three people, all the other passers-by disappeared without a trace.


    Looking at the travel bag that fell to the ground not far away, Lacey swallowed, her throat rolled, and she turned her eyes to Luo An:


    "what to do?"


    ��Let me go quickly!��


    ?Ham-Mark sneered and shouted at the top of his lungs:


    ��If you don��t let me go, we will go to heaven together!��


    ��Don��t even think about heaven, **** may be more suitable for you.��


    Unlike Lacey who was full of nervousness, Luo An calmly put away his pistol, casually replied to Ham-Mark, gave Lacey a reassuring look, and walked step by step towards the travel bag next to him.


    The travel bag was completely black, with two straps scattered on both sides. Because of the word "bomb", a few drops of sweat appeared on Lacey''s forehead. The passers-by who peeked not far away also had nervous expressions on their faces.


    Everyone held their breath when they saw Luo An squatting next to the travel bag and unzipping it little by little.


    ?Time passed by and Luo An quickly completed the inspection. Under everyone''s nervous eyes, he raised his head and smiled and said:


    ��There was no bomb, it was clothes, food and cash.��


    ?


    Lacey was relieved and let out a long breath. Passers-by in the distance also unclenched their fists, relieved their nervousness, and looked at Luo An with admiration on their faces.


    ??Even though he knew Luo An''s FBI identity, he dared to come into close contact with a possible bomb without any protective measures. This was still shocking.


    ��Congratulations, Mr. Ham-Mark.��


    ?Throwing the travel bag to Lacey, Roan pulled Hammak up from the ground and said with a smile:


    ��You��re under arrest.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 621： Trial, black people, federal land does not support idlers

    Chapter 621: Interrogation, black people, federal land does not support idlers


    The next day, Sunday, 9:30 a.m., FBI headquarters in Washington, office area of ??Investigation Team 13.


    Lacie was sitting at her work station, sorting out information and introducing last night''s operations to other agents.


    ?Hearing that Roan went up to open the travel bag without changing his expression, Winslow and Chenelle looked in admiration, while Michelle and Mona were very nervous.


    ��Everyone, this month��s salary and bonus for solving the case have been distributed. Please check to see if there are any errors or omissions.��


    At this moment, Luo An walked out of the team leader��s office, shook his cell phone, and said with a smile:


    ��The overtime pay for these days will also be paid.��


    "Wow."


    "marvelous!"


    ��Love you so much, Roan!��


    Winslow and others looked at each other and took out their mobile phones and thanked and praised Luo An loudly. Mona did not pay attention to this matter. She stood up and walked to Luo An and asked in a low voice:


    ��What happened to the bomb yesterday?��


    ��Before the action started, I had noticed the bag in Hammak��s hand.


    Soon, Ham-Mark was brought into the interrogation room, and Roan and Chenelle sat on the chairs opposite the interrogation table with their notebooks.


    ��Lessie, Winslow, you go and take Hammack to the interrogation room.


    All the agents who received their salaries and bonuses were full of energy and immediately nodded loudly and accepted the order.


    ��Is there anything wrong?��


    Roan briefly introduced Ham-Mark��s identity information, then took a sip of coffee and asked:


    ��Don��t worry, I��m measured.��


    ��OK!��


    If there was really a bomb in that travel bag, the "emotional perception" would definitely give a frantic warning, but yesterday everything was normal. Luo An used this to infer that Ham-Mark was just bluffing, and wanted to use the lie of the bomb to force Luo An to People let themselves go.


    ?Mona immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Winslow, Chenille and others next to her also heard Luo An��s explanation and gave him a thumbs up with admiration.


    After the agents confirmed that there were no mistakes in wages, bonuses, etc., Luo An brought the topic to the point and ordered:


    ?However, this reason is not convenient to explain, so Luo An only stated his observations and reasonable inferences before taking action.


    In addition to this reason, Luo An opened up the "emotional perception" in his mind from the moment he arrived at the station.


    From the moment he got off the car to looking for a cigarette, the whole process was very natural. Although he was holding the travel bag, he didn��t pay much attention to it.


    Chenelle, be prepared and join me for interrogation later. "


    ��Ham Mark, 49 years old, white, biological male, has a case of sexual assault on his body����


    ??If there was a bomb in the travel bag, he must have been very focused, and it couldn''t be in that state..."


    "no problem!"


    "No."


    Roan knew that Mona was worried about him, so he smiled and explained:


    ?Ham-Mark shook his head, licked his chapped lips, and asked:


    ��Can I get a cup of coffee?��


    "certainly."


    ?Luo An smiled and did not refuse the other party''s small request. He went out and poured him a cup of coffee.


    ?Seeing Ham Mark pick up the coffee cup and drink it all in one gulp, Luo An picked up the coffee pot, filled it up for him, and asked with a smile:


    ��You should know why we arrested you.��


    ��I know, I saw the explosion on the news.��


    Ham-Mark smacked his lips, raised his head and looked at Luo An with a serious face, and said:


    ��But I really don��t know what��s going on!


    That bomb was not made by me, I was really just a courier! "


    Chenelle frowned slightly:


    ��Then why are you running?��


    ?Ham-Mark moved his eyes to Chenier and asked:


    ��The express delivery I delivered exploded! It killed a bunch of people, how could I not run away?!��


    Cheniel said coldly:


    ��You have other options, such as going to the street and surrendering to an NYPD officer.��


    "Ah-"


    ?Ham-Mark smiled disdainfully, pointed at Luo An and said:


    ��This male FBI agent just said that I still have a case on my back. I managed to escape and lived incognito for so long. How could I surrender?


    If you are caught, you will be punished for 10 years! I''m almost 50 this year!


    And there are some **** perverts in the prison who like older guys like me, because I can��t beat him...�� Hearing Ham-Mark talk about the customs and customs in the prison, Chenelle��s head was full of black lines, and Luo An interrupted with a wave of his hand. The other party''s nagging said:


    ��Let��s change the subject, Mark.


    According to the investigation by my detectives, the express company you work for does not have records of the serial numbers of those two express packages. Where did they come from? "


    ��A man gave it to me.��


    ?Ham-Mark picked up the coffee again and drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and explained:


    ��Yesterday morning, I was trying to deliver a courier as usual, and someone stopped me on the road.


    He told me that since I was the courier, he would not go to the courier station and asked me to deliver the two packages directly for him. "


    ?Luo An then asked:


    ��This kind of thing doesn��t seem to be in compliance with your company��s regulations.��


    ��It really doesn��t fit, but the man took out Franklin.��


    ?Ham-Mark spread his hands and said that no one could resist Franklin''s charm, so he agreed.


    ?However, the other party didn''t say the time, so he was in no hurry to deliver the two packages immediately. It wasn''t until the afternoon when he had finished delivering all the other couriers sent to him by the company that he sent the two packages to the designated location.


    The package was delivered, and Ham-Mark heard an explosion not far after he went downstairs.


    ?But Ham-Mark didn��t think too much about it at first, because this is New York, and gunfights, explosions, etc. are normal.


    It wasn��t until he went to a bar to rest and saw the specific location of the explosion on the news that Hammack realized something was wrong, so he quickly returned to his residence to pack his things and start running away.


    "Emotional Perception" confirmed that the other party was telling the truth. Luo An''s eyes moved slightly and he continued to ask:


    ��What does the person who delivers your courier look like?��


    ��I didn��t see clearly, but the other party was wearing a mask and sunglasses.��


    ?Ham-Mark scratched his head, then clapped his hands and said:


    ��But I can be sure that that guy is a black man, with skin so dark that it reflects light.��


    "Black person?"


    Hearing Ham-Mark''s correction, Roan and Chenelle looked at each other in surprise.


    ?According to the FBI''s internal database, more than 75% of bombers in the federal territory are white, and blacks are rare.


    ?Luo An was silent for a few seconds, and then asked:


    ��Did you deliberately place that smaller package at the door of the office where the explosion occurred?��


    ??The small package Luo An spoke of was a box containing a piece of paper with the contents of the "game" written on it.


    Ham-Mark shook his head:


    ��It was the black man who asked me to do this. For the sake of the $100, I agreed.��


    Chenelle frowned when she heard this:


    ��Have you never doubted why the other party asked you to do this?��


    ��What��s there to be suspicious of?��


    ?Ham-Mark leaned back and replied calmly:


    ��I have been working in an express delivery company for two years and I have never seen anything like this.


    Once a guy asked me to deliver something at 3:30 in the morning because it contained adult **** he bought. The guy was less than 15 years old and he was afraid that his mother would see it.


    ?Another time, a woman asked me to deliver a courier to the door of her neighbor''s house opposite her house because she was playing with the male owner of the neighbor''s house and she was afraid that her husband would find out..."


    ??Ham-Mark talked about a lot of strange things he encountered while delivering express delivery. He could only say that federal land does not support idlers and is full of talents. He was already used to it.


    ��OK.��


    Chenelle��s head was full of black lines. Luoan then asked a few questions and walked out of the interrogation room after getting the location where the black man and Hammark met.


    "How about it?"


    Seeing Roan and Chenelle walking out, Lacey quickly came over and asked:


    ��Any clues?��


    ��Yes, but not entirely.��


    Roan rubbed his temples and handed the interrogation record to Mona, asking her to investigate the location where the suspicious black man appeared and find the other party. Then he looked at Michelle and asked:


    ��Did you find anything from the clues obtained in the hospital yesterday?��


    Michelle nodded and answered while typing on the keyboard:


    ��That Carlton may not be as simple as it seems.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 622： NRA, C4 Explosives

    Chapter 622 NRA, C4 Explosives


    Sunday, there is an order in the morning, FBI headquarters in Washington, office area of ??Investigation Team 13.


    ��Isn��t this guy Carlton simple?��


    Michelle''s words aroused the attention and questions of everyone in the office area. She pretended to be nonchalant, quickly tapped the keyboard a few times to call up a message, and then explained:


    ��Carlton��s bank account shows that in addition to the monthly salary he receives from working at a design company, he has another source of income, and the amount is substantial.��


    Lacie asked hurriedly:


    ��Where does the income come from?��


    ?Chenelle next to her looked at the information on the computer, sneered and said:


    ��NRA.��


    NRA, the Federal Rifle Association, also known as the Federal Rifle Association, is a typical federal interest group.


    ?On the surface, the Federal Rifle Association is mainly committed to hosting firearms safety training courses, organizing various shooting activities, sports, competitions, and developing some youth shooting sports and women��s shooting projects.


    But in fact, the organization is a front agent launched by the military-industrial complex. It exerts a huge influence in politics, using huge sums of money to persuade and bribe politicians and promote the right of federal people to own guns.


    After 1999, after taking on a ��consultant�� position and with the first funds from the NRA appearing in his bank account, Carlton began arguing and defending with anti-gun groups. "


    ??Mona, you continue to investigate the surveillance in the area near where the suspicious black man appeared to see if you can find him and find out his identity. "


    Lacie, go to that bar and investigate and see if you can get that Franklin back. It may have the fingerprints of a suspicious black man on it.


    ?Michelle then tapped the keyboard a few times to bring up a new page, showed it to everyone, and explained:


    ��Carlton has a ��consultant�� position in a branch of the NRA in southern New York. I can��t find the specific responsibilities of this ��consultant.��


    But it is really rare to receive money from the NRA. Does Carlton have a part-time job in the NRA? "


    Not only that, these people all cursed Carlton after failing to argue, and many threatened to kill him or blow him up.


    ��Besides this matter, have the anti-gun organizations found any clues?��


    ?Michelle pulled out a few photos, pointed at the whites, blacks, and people with obvious immigrant characteristics and said:


    ��They come from several different anti-gun organizations, and they have all had the experience of being defended by Carlton until they were unable to answer.


    ��OK!��


    ??Mona frowned when she saw this, and Lacey''s face was also very ugly:


    ��But these people and Luo An, you don��t seem to have����


    Before Lacey could finish what she said, Luo An interrupted her with a wave of his hand, then stood up and ordered:


    ��Winslow, Chenille, go investigate these people in the photos and see their whereabouts in recent days.


    "You have to do things when you get money, which is the "contractual spirit" of federal standards."


    ��The word part-time is somewhat inappropriate, and it may be more appropriate to replace it with ��working��.��


    ?In the interrogation just now, Ham-Mark mentioned that the one hundred dollars given to him by the suspicious black man was spent in a bar in southern New York.


    ?In addition, in the days before the explosion, the whereabouts of these people were more or less impossible to find. "


    After discussing a few words, Luo An then asked:


    All the agents of Investigation Team 13 knew what was going on with the NRA. Lacey frowned and asked:


    ��I found a few guys who have serious conflicts with Carlton.��


    After Michelle explained, everyone present suddenly understood, and Luo An grinned:


    ?However, before 1999, Carlton supported gun ownership but had no specific actions.


    ��About 80% of the white men who support guns in the federation are members of the NRA, and they donate some funds to the NRA every year.


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    ??Several agents nodded in agreement and turned back to their work stations to pack their things and prepare to set off. Luo An then patted Michelle on the shoulder and said:


    ��You and I will go to the Trace Inspection Section to check the final investigation results of the crime scene.��


    "OK."


    ? Michelle nodded, simply packed up the computer on her desk, got up and walked to the elevator at the end of the corridor with Luo An.????��


    Trace Inspection Section, Office Area.


    ��The bomb at the explosion site has a somewhat complicated structure.��


    ?An agent from the Trace Inspection Section wearing a white coat reached out and shook hands with Luo An, then led Luo An and Michelle into the office and introduced as he walked:


    ��However, the material of the bomb has been determined, it is a C4 hybrid bomb.��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and said:


    ��Looks like the bomb maker is a skilled worker.��


    C4 explosive is a kind of plastic explosive with extremely strong plasticity. The explosive can be molded into various shapes to change the direction of the explosion and implement fixed-point blasting.


    ? And because it has the advantages of easy portability, high stability, high explosive power, and good waterproofness that TNT explosives do not have, it is widely used by the armies of various countries and various terrorist groups, and is quite popular among people in the industry.


    ��Indeed.��


    ??The white coated detective glanced at Luo An appreciatively, then handed a folder to Luo An and said:


    ��In addition, the way the bomb was assembled at the crime scene has been seen in another previous bombing.


    ?That guy''s name is Luca Coors. He is 35 years old and a talented person who has been on the battlefield.


    ??However, this guy was arrested and imprisoned three years ago for making and selling bombs, and now there are still more than ten years left before the end of his sentence. "


    ?Michelle looked stern, Luo An took the folder, opened it, looked at it, and said casually:


    ��This Luca does have more than ten years to get out of the dark room, but his fellow prisoners may not.


    ? Prison is a place of torture for some, but for others it is a school or even a technology exchange center. "


    The agent in the white coat''s eyes lit up and he laughed. This was the first time he heard this adjective.


    Luo An closed the folder and handed it to Michelle, and then asked:


    ��Are there any other situations?��


    "certainly."


    The detective in the white coat nodded, took Luo An and Michelle into another room, and said:


    ��The smaller box found at the crime scene, which contained a piece of paper with your name written on it, Team Leader Luo An, according to the test, only had one person��s fingerprints on it.��


    Luo An frowned slightly as he looked at Ham-Mark who had been captured by his own people according to the test results:


    ��There is only one person��s fingerprint on the box? Where is the letter inside?��


    ��The letters inside are cleaner.��


    The agent in the white coat spread his hands:


    ��There were no fingerprints on the paper, not even a scrap of skin or anything.


    ?The other party either specially wore gloves when he wrote the letter, or he specially checked and carefully handled the piece of paper after writing. "


    ��It��s really prudent.��


    Michelle''s face looked very ugly. She cursed in a low voice and turned her eyes to Luo An. However, Luo An was very calm. He discussed with the detectives from the Trace Inspection Section for a while and then took Michelle to the elevator not far away. .


    ��Luo An, what do you think about this case?��


    ?The red numbers were beating and the elevator was slowly moving up. Michelle thought for a few seconds and asked:


    ��I always feel like something is wrong with this case.


    The victim Carlton and other victims, the suspicious personnel of the anti-gun organization, and the unidentified black man are all more or less related, but none of them seem to have anything to do with you, so why is there someone with your name at the scene? Paper? "

    Chapter 623 Talent Center, Suspect


    The elevator slowly went up. When he heard Michelle''s question, Luo An''s eyes flashed with an imperceptible light. Instead of answering her question, he patted her shoulder and said with a smile:


    ��Mona is investigating the suspicious black man, and just now the Trace Inspection Section also found clues related to the bomb maker.


    When they are caught, we should be able to know the truth about this case. "


    "All right."


    ? Michelle nodded, and the elevator door opened quickly. Luo An and the two walked into the corridor and quickly returned to Investigation Team 13 to start checking for information.


    ?The afternoon passed in the blink of an eye. The next morning, the detectives walked into the conference room and began to analyze and integrate the clues found in their hands.


    The detectives sat down at the long table in the conference room. Luo An first turned his attention to Lacey. Lacey spread her hands and said helplessly:


    ��The $100 that the suspicious black man paid to the courier Ham Mark didn��t actually buy alcohol at all, but spent it on a woman in the bar.


    I found the woman, but that woman served several men yesterday, and the money she earned was used by her to buy food, etc., so I couldn��t investigate further. "


    Roan��s mouth twitched. Winslow��s eyes widened and he said in disbelief:


    ��The whole time from the time the courier Ham Mark entered the bar, to seeing the news, to finally running away, was less than fifteen minutes. Where did he have the time to find a woman?��


    ��No, you got the sequence of things wrong. Ham-Mark entered the bar, first saw the woman, then saw the news, and finally ran away.��


    In March last year, Carlton, the victim in this case, had a debate with people from the organization, and Adam also participated. Carlton was eventually rendered speechless by the argument. "


    ������xN


    The conference room was quiet. Mona covered her eyes and didn''t want to speak. Winslow and Chenelle were trembling. Michelle was expressionless and silently poured a cup of coffee for Luo An.


    Luo An nodded and then asked:


    Chenelle handed the folder in front of her to Roan, then looked at Mona and said:


    ��I told Mona the situation, and let her talk about the next thing.��


    ��Three reasons.��


    ? Chenier and Winslow found several surveillance videos yesterday, which showed Adam Avalos smashing the door of the NRA (Rifle Alliance) with eggs and other materials more than once.


    But a month ago, Adam Avalos suddenly stopped these activities.


    Lacie corrected Winslow''s words, then spread her hands and smiled:


    ��So, being fast is sometimes a strength, and it is very useful at critical moments.��


    ��Very normal.��


    Surveillance video showed that shortly after his sister''s death, Adam Avalos went to Carlton''s residence to throw garbage, curse, etc., and behaved quite crazy.


    "Chanelle, Winslow, how''s your investigation going?"


    ?Mona nodded, typed on the keyboard a few times, showed the laptop screen to everyone, and introduced:


    ??Mona opened two surveillance videos and showed them to everyone, explaining:


    ��First, Adam Avalos had a biological sister who died in a street robbery three months ago. The murderer shot her to death with a black gun and has not been caught so far.


    ??Luo An threw the folder in his hand to Lacey, asked her to be quiet for a while, and then asked:


    ��We found a very suspicious guy.��


    ?Third, I found another surveillance video, located near the victim Carlton��s apartment.


    Second, since this incident, Adam Avalos has become more radical and crazily opposed to gun owners.


    ��Everyone, the man with obvious mixed-race features in the photo is named Adam Avalos. He is 31 years old, works in a restaurant, and is a member of an anti-gun organization in upstate New York.


    ��OK.��


    ��Why doubt this Adam-Avalos?��


    ??Lacie looked at Adam��s identity information and said:


    ��Data shows that Adam never even went to high school, how can he be more eloquent than Carlton, who graduated from a certain Ivy League university?��


    I checked his bank account, and the records show that he withdrew all the thousands of dollars in his account during those days. "


    "not only that."


    As soon as Mona finished speaking, Winslow handed Luan a folder and said solemnly:


    ��Chynielle and I also found out that Adam Avalos had taken out a usurious loan of US$50,000, which was stipulated to be repaid within one month.


    ?Now that one month has passed, the loan shark company is frantically looking for Adam Avalos, but cannot find him at all. Later, the loan shark company wanted to take away Adam''s house, but found out that Adam had mortgaged his house to the bank and borrowed US$100,000 from the bank. "


    ��A person who has no worries and cannot find the murderer of his sister, who resents the proliferation of guns and makes money everywhere..."


    Looking at the information in the folder, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a few seconds, looked up at Winslow, and asked:


    ��Can the specific time or place of Adam��s disappearance be found?��


    Winslow shook his head and replied:


    ��Adam was last seen a week ago buying some food in a supermarket.


    ??This guy completely lost track of him later, and even the loan shark company couldn''t be found. "


    ??Luo An closed the folder, and there were indeed many talents in the Federation. He then turned his eyes to Mona and asked:


    ��How is the investigation going on that suspicious black man?��


    ��I��ve found him!��


    ??Mona raised the corner of her mouth slightly, quickly tapped the keyboard a few times, displayed a photo of a black young man with a big nose, and introduced:


    ��Hashim Ridder is 36 years old and unemployed, or I can��t find his occupation.


    ??This guy has never paid taxes, and the savings in his bank account have just reached the tax threshold. "


    ??Luo An nodded and his expression remained unchanged. Black people at the bottom rarely use bank accounts or checks for transactions. They are more accustomed to using cash.


    ??This is a legacy of federal history, such as the Black Panther Party incident decades ago, in which many leaders of the organization were executed, assassinated, or imprisoned for long periods of time.


    ?Much of the ��evidence�� comes from banks, so the black people at the bottom have since then begun to use cash to live, trade, or do things.


    Luo An thought for a while and asked:


    ��Can this Hashem-Reed know how to make a bomb?��


    ��He hasn��t even finished elementary school, he definitely won��t.��


    ??Mona shook her head, then she tapped the keyboard a few times, brought up a photo of another middle-aged black man, and said:


    ��But this guy definitely does.


    ?His name is Elaine Reed, 50 years old this year, and was once one of the few knowledgeable senior members of a black gang.


    ??The black gang was dismantled more than 20 years ago. Elaine Reed began to sit in prison when she was less than 30 years old and was only released eight months ago.


    ?Hashem-Reed and Elaine-Reed were related, so after Elaine was released from prison, she lived with Hashem. "


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��What��s the name of that prison?��


    ��The name of the prison is not important.��


    ?Mona smiled, she found a file and showed it to Luo An, saying:


    ��The important thing is that the 50-year-old Elaine Reed is in the same prison as the 35-year-old Luca Kuers who was detected by Luo An in the trace inspection department yesterday.


    Not only that, the two cells were also very close to each other, with only a few rooms in between. "


    ��That��s why I say that prison is the real center for talent exchange.��


    Luo An put the photo aside casually, smiled and said:


    ��People who are fifty years old can make money and support themselves by relying on the skills they have learned when they come out of it.��


    ��It��s just that the method of making money is somewhat illegal.��


    Lacie grinned and asked:


    ��What to do next?��


    ��It��s very simple, arrest people!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 624： Catching people, abnormality, explosion

    Chapter 624: Arrest, abnormality, explosion


    ��Get ready to arrest people!��


    ?Getting the information about the black man who handed the box to the courier and the address of another black man who was suspected of being the bomb maker, Luo An immediately ordered:


    ��Michelle, Mona, contact SWAT and ask them to send a team to get a few more signal jammers.


    ? Winslow, Chenelle, Lacey, prepare your equipment, let��s go together! "


    "no problem!"


    ?Several people responded in unison. Winslow and the other three quickly stood up and left the office. Mona followed closely and asked:


    ��What about Adam Avalos?��


    ?Luo An patted Mona on the shoulder and said:


    ��Those loan shark companies can��t find Adam, and we probably won��t be able to find him in a short time either.


    ?However, there is a high probability that Adam has had contact with the two black men from the Reed family. If we catch them first, we should be able to grasp the situation with Adam. "


    ��OK.��


    "Put away the cluttered thoughts in your mind."


    ?Mona��s face was solemn, she nodded heavily in agreement, and said in a deep voice:


    "give it to me."


    Her head was hit, and although it didn''t hurt, Mona was a little unhappy. However, when she heard Luo An''s next words, she immediately retracted her pouted mouth, and her face instantly became very serious.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    "uncertain."


    The three Winslows quickly finished sorting. Luo An picked up a body armor and put it on himself, stuffed a few shock bombs and smoke bombs into his pockets, and finally waved:


    "Set off!"


    ��Luo An, don��t make trouble, it��s not appropriate now!��


    There is serious racial discrimination in the federal territory, and class divisions are also quite obvious. These streets are a gathering area for black people.


    After Luo An finished speaking, Mona looked very ugly. She looked up at Luo An and asked in a solemn voice:


    ?From the moment the SUV entered these streets, there were basically no other people of any color on both sides of the road. When Luo An and others looked up, their vision suddenly went dark.


    ??The SUV and SWAT troop carrier of the 13th Investigation Team moved forward slowly. The black people on both sides of the street did not dare to stop them, but they all stared at the car silently, which gave people a very depressing feeling.


    ? Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly, briefly discussed a few words with Mona, and the two walked out of the conference room together.


    Luo An was speechless. He picked up the folder and tapped Mona on the head, then whispered:


    ��I need your help with something.��


    ?Luo An shook his head, and then whispered:


    ��But that��s the most reasonable explanation I can think of.��


    "you sure?"


    The atmosphere inside can��t be said to be that people don��t pick up things on the road, it can only be said that black people don��t dare to walk at night.


    ����


    ?Looking at the unclosed door not far away, a flash of panic flashed in Mona''s eyes. She quickly raised her hand to Luo An''s chest and whispered:


    ? Western New York is very close to New Jersey, separated only by a bridge. There are high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, but the streets are full of garbage.


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona stood up and prepared to leave the conference room together. Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, and suddenly he reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling Mona back.


    In the back seat of the SUV, Winslow and Chenelle silently turned on the safety of their weapons. Lacey in the passenger seat looked at the scenery outside the window, was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice:


    ��This kind of community is generally very united. Could Elaine Reed and Hashem Reed have gotten the news and run away in advance?��


    ��I hope they both run away and leave this neighborhood.��


    ??Answering Lacey casually, an imperceptible cold light flashed in Luo An''s eyes.


    The SUV arrived at the target location and parked the car on the side of the road. The three Laceys and the SWAT team in the troop carrier behind began a final inspection of the equipment, waiting quietly for Luo An''s order before taking action to arrest people.


    ?But time passed by and Luo An sat in the driver''s seat of the SUV, motionless and silent.


    ��???��xN


    Everyone who had checked the equipment had doubts on their faces. Lacey looked away from the black child in the distance and turned to look at Luo An, with doubts on her face:


    ��What��s wrong?�� ?????��Wait.��


    Luo An had no expression on his face, quietly looking at the air in the distance, and replied:


    "Do not worry."


    Lacey��s face was full of confusion and she didn��t understand what Luo An meant. Winslow and Chenelle looked at each other with their brows furrowed, not understanding Luo An��s logic.


    ?Time continued to move forward minute by minute, and ten minutes passed quickly. Not only did everyone in the car become more and more impatient, but some black children on both sides of the road came towards the car out of curiosity.


    In the SUV, Winslow and Chenelle were able to hold back their temper and sat calmly in the back seat, while Lacey in the passenger seat was scratching her head as she watched the time passing by.


    Seeing the black passers-by in the distance gradually approaching, Lacey finally couldn''t help it anymore, turned around and asked:


    ��Luo An, what are we waiting for?��


    ��Waiting for the call.��


    Hearing Luo An''s answer, the doubts in Lacey''s mind increased.


    ?At this moment, Luo An��s cell phone suddenly rang.


    Pressing the answer button, the call was quickly connected, and Mona''s voice rang:


    ��Roan, you are right, Hashem Reed and Elaine Reed have not left that community!��


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Are you sure?��


    ��100% sure!��


    ?Mona on the phone said seriously:


    ��There was no surveillance in the black community, so Michelle and I called for surveillance on all the surrounding streets and shops near that community.


    Since you entered that area, many people have left, but those people are not Elaine Reed and Hashem Reed! The two of them are definitely still in there! "


    ��OK, good work.��


    ??Luo An nodded, pressed the button and hung up the phone. Lacey also heard Mona''s voice, immediately picked up the pistol and asked:


    ��Are we about to start taking action?��


    ��Yes, but the plan needs to be changed.��


    ?Luo An replied to Lacey, then pressed the communicator next to his ear and ordered:


    ��Dear SWAT members, the action plan has been temporarily changed.


    Turn on the signal jammer, cancel the raid on the target location and arrest the target person, and instead occupy the commanding heights of this area as quickly as possible!


    When encountering violent resisters, shoot them on the spot! "


    Hearing Luo An��s order, the SWAT team members were very puzzled, but they immediately agreed loudly:


    ��Understood!��xN


    The order ended, and the door of the troop carrier opened instantly. A group of SWAT team members paired up in pairs and began to move quickly like tigers with weapons in hand. They set off in all directions to occupy the commanding heights.


    Turning off the communicator, Luo An then called and sent a message asking Michelle to call for more support. Then he turned his eyes to the three people in the car who looked puzzled, and ordered in a deep voice:


    ��Hashim Reed and Elaine Reed are traps we must not step into.


    ??However, the maker of the trap is most likely nearby. Don''t leave me after getting off the car. Let''s work together to catch each other! "


    Hearing Luo An''s words, Winslow and Chenelle looked stern. Thousands of thoughts flashed through their minds. They instantly thought of some possibilities, and they all solemnly agreed:


    "clear!"


    Lacey was still a little confused and didn''t understand what happened. However, she had developed absolute trust in Luo An over a long period of time. She simply stopped asking and immediately raised her pistol and said solemnly:


    "no problem!"


    ��Good.��


    Luo An didn''t say any more nonsense, quickly opened the car door and got out of the car. When Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey moved to his side with weapons in hand, he immediately led the three of them and rushed towards a building diagonally across the street. While running, he ordered in a low voice:


    ��Be safe, and remember to shoot first if something goes wrong!��


    ??The meaning behind this order made the three Winslows feel awe-struck, but they followed Luo An into the building without saying anything.


    Boom��


    The next second, as the four of them walked into the stairs, there was a sudden explosion outside!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 625： Black family of three, arrest, problem

    Chapter 625: Black family of three, arrested, problem


    Boom��


    The sudden explosion startled Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey who were present. The three of them subconsciously fell to the ground to avoid possible harm.


    ??But the explosion came and went faster, and there was no follow-up. The three Winslows got up from the ground with bewildered faces, and found Luo An standing in front of the window next to them.


    "what happened?"


    ??Lacie frowned. While asking, she quickly walked to the window and followed Luo An''s gaze to the direction of the explosion.


    Then the three Laceys were surprised to find that the explosion site was not far from their investigation team��s SUV and SWTA personnel carrier. The windshield in front of the SUV and even the cement fragments blown away by the bomb had a big hole the size of the head.


    ��What��s going on? Where did the bomb come from?��


    Winslow looked serious. Chenelle thought for a while and asked:


    "Did Elaine Reed and Hashem Reed throw it out?"


    Winslow and Lacey looked at each other, and both saw each other''s suspicion. Luo An, who was next to him, did not join the discussion among the three. He pressed the communicator next to his ear and asked:


    ��How is the situation with the SWAT team? Are there any casualties?��


    �ڡ�


    ??Luo An could guess what these black people were thinking, but he didn''t care, because he had no intention of asking for clues from these black people, as long as they didn''t disturb him.


    Not only because the four Luo An men were fully armed and had weapons in their hands, but also because they all saw that in addition to the four Luo An men, there was also a group of SWAT action teams.


    Roan''s movement was so sudden that Lacey and Chenelle didn''t react at all. Winslow acted quickly, and based on his trust in Roan, he immediately took out his pistol, aimed it at the black man from the side, and shouted:


    "do not move!"


    Chenelle and Winslow glanced at the black family without paying much attention. Lacey exhaled and prepared to continue going upstairs. Roan suddenly stopped in place, then suddenly raised his pistol and pointed at the man standing by the wall. The black man was hit on the head!


    ��Crab special!��


    ??A harsh electric sound flashed through the contactor, and it quickly returned to normal. The SWAT captain replied:


    ��Everything is normal, no one was injured!��


    ? With so many FBIs dispatched, it must be a big case. These black people knew it well. There was no need to disturb the FBI, but they would not cooperate with the FBI to provide them with clues.


    �O


    ??Seeing Luo An and the others holding guns, the little black girl''s face was full of panic. The two black men with unknown faces, a man and a woman, were even more nervous. They quickly stood against the wall to make way for the four of them.


    Luo An was slightly relieved after receiving the news that no one was injured. Then he carefully observed the location of the bomb explosion for a few seconds, picked up his weapon, turned around and rushed towards the stairs not far away again, and at the same time shouted an order:


    ��Follow me, everyone!��


    ??The black man also reacted very quickly. Seeing the actions of Luo An and Winslow, he immediately stretched out his hand to push the black woman next to him and hit Winslow, forcing Winslow to stop his movements.


    ?This building is not high, only six floors, and there are not many residents in it, but they are all black.


    ??Among these black people, some are indeed very dissatisfied with the FBI for various reasons, but dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and they have no plans to take action against Luo An and the four others.


    ?Now that the time has arrived in 2006, it has become rare for black groups to openly confront federal law enforcement agencies with guns in the past, and everyone has begun to act according to the "rules."


    "clear!"


    Luo An and the four of them ran quickly from the first floor to the fifth floor. At the corner of the stairs on the fifth floor, there were two black men with strange faces, a man and a woman, leading a strange little black girl down the stairs.


    ��Good.��


    The explosion just now also attracted their attention, and they came out to check the situation. However, when they saw the four Luo An, these people looked at each other and silently retreated to their rooms.


    ?Winslow, Chenelle, and Lacey quickly followed, and continued up the stairs with Roan.


    At the same time, the black man also violently lifted the little black girl from the ground and blocked it in front of him, using the girl as a shield to avoid Luo An''s gun.


    ??The panicked little black girl forced Luan to deflect the action. Chenelle and Lacey also understood at this time that there was something wrong with the black man''s identity, and immediately raised their pistols and prepared to attack.


    BANG�� As soon as the two women raised their pistols, the black man used the little black girl as a weapon and threw it at them with all his strength.


    ��Fu-k!��


    "damn it!"


    Chenelle and Lacey''s expressions changed greatly, and they quickly stopped to pick up the little black girl. The black man took advantage of this moment to hold on to the handrail of the stairs, put his feet on the walls on both sides, and jumped towards the stairs below, ready to leave. here.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Winslow looked very ugly when he saw this scene. He put the black woman he had picked up aside and prepared to pursue him. Behind him, a cold light flashed in the black woman''s eyes that he didn''t see, and she calmly took out a hand from behind. gun.


    boom! boom!


    ?The next second, three gunshots rang out. The black woman was shot in both arms. The weapon she just took out fell to the ground. She looked at Luo An in disbelief, not understanding when Luo An discovered the problem.


    Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey looked at Luo An who fired the gun in astonishment. Luo An put away his pistol and jumped towards the stairs below without saying anything. At the same time, he shouted an order:


    ��Chenelle, watch that woman!


    Winslow, Lacey, catch up! "


    "clear!"


    ??The three reacted quickly. Chenelle took out the handcuffs, jumped down and pressed the black woman to the ground and cuffed her hands together. Winslow and Lacey hurried down the stairs and chased Luo An''s back.


    ??The staircase structure of this building is the most common one, that is, there is a staircase on the left and right sides, and a platform between each floor for stairs and pedestrians to walk up and down and turn.


    Under normal circumstances, running down the stairs requires turning back and forth, and the speed cannot be increased at all.


    ??So the black man chose a method similar to parkour. He grabbed the stair railing with his left hand, jumped left and right on the wall next to the stairs with his feet, and ran downstairs as quickly as if he could fly.


    ?This method is very difficult, but very fast, because it does not require running on the stairs, but simply moves on the walls of the left and right stairs. In the blink of an eye, the black man moved from the fifth floor to the first floor.


    Snapped-


    ??Arrived on the first floor, the black man jumped up, rolled forward with his feet on the ground to remove the inertia, then curled up the corner of his mouth, got up and ran away without looking back.


    The black man was well prepared. There was an off-road vehicle diagonally across from the building. As soon as he got there, he could easily drive out of the area. There was no way Luo An could catch up with him...


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    ?Four gunshots rang out, and the pride on the black man''s face instantly turned into a scream. His body fell forward uncontrollably, and he hit the ground face first.


    The pain on his face was ignored by the black man. He looked at the most painful wound and found that he had been hit by a bullet in both his calves and both thighs.


    "you��"


    Looking at the direction of the stairs, Luo An, who was walking toward him in a leisurely manner with a gun in his hand, the black man clenched his back molars and asked:


    ��How did you discover me?��


    Luo An walked up to the black man, looked down at him expressionlessly, and said coldly:


    ��I thought you would ask me how I caught up with you so quickly.��


    ??The black man sneered and repeated what he just said:


    ��How did you discover me?��


    ��I can answer your question.��


    ?Luo An slowly squatted down, looked at the black man, and said in a serious voice:


    ��But before that, you need to answer my question first.


    First, what is your name? Second, who sent you to investigate this case? "

    ? Western New York, eastern New Jersey, the area next to a certain bridge, the entrance to the first floor of a certain building.


    "What''s your name? Who sent you to solve this case?"


    ?Hearing Luo An''s question, the black man sneered, then coughed, opened his mouth and was about to spit at Luo An.

    ?A yellow and white thing flew out of the black man''s mouth, but did not touch Luo An. Luo An moved faster than him and directly pulled up the black man''s clothes and blocked it in front of him.


    ??The black man was slightly startled when the yellow and white object stained his clothes. Luo An sneered, tore the clothes to pieces with force, and stuffed it into the black man''s mouth.


    "ah-"


    When Lacey and Winslow arrived at the door of the building, what they saw was a black man with a rag stuffed in his mouth. His legs were shot and lying on the ground. Luo An was pressed firmly on his back and locked with handcuffs. He held his hands.


    ��You came just in time.��


    ??Pressing the black man so hard that he couldn''t move, Luoan pointed to several cars parked outside the building when he saw Winslow and Lacey and ordered:


    "The support I called before has arrived at the scene. You should take the support now and go to the building diagonally opposite to arrest Hasim Reed and Elaine Reed."


    Luo An walked to the troop carrier where black men and women were detained, looked at the man and woman in the car, smiled, and said:


    ��OK.��


    Chenelle��s eyes lit up, and Luoan breathed a sigh of relief, but he noticed something was wrong with Lacey��s tone when she spoke, so he asked:


    ��There is also a bomb! Luo An, your guess is very accurate��


    Within a few minutes, Chenille took the black woman downstairs. Luo An and Chenille temporarily handed the two black men, a man and a woman, to the custody of the SWAT team who came for support, and then he began to take Chenie with her. Nell "hangs out" in the neighborhood together.


    �ڡ�


    "clear!"


    Suppressing the shock in their eyes, Winslow and Lacey nodded in unison:


    ?Winslow and Lacey looked serious and nodded heavily in agreement.


    ??The black man struggled more and more fiercely, but was pinned to the ground by Luo An.


    ��Remember to take the signal jammer and be careful when arresting people, there is 100% chance of a bomb inside.��


    ��Besides the target person, were there any other discoveries at the scene?��


    ��I��ve called the bomb disposal department, they��ll be here soon.��


    "And one more thing."


    On the other end of the communicator, Lacey looked at the pile of bombs in front of her, feeling very frightened and yelling:


    ��Every corner of the first, second, and third floors of this building is covered with bombs!��


    ��Successfully arrested two target persons!��


    ��Woooooo����


    Winslow and Lacey turned to leave. Luo An glanced at the black man who was pressed to the ground and added:


    ��Good.��


    ��Lessie, take the people out, don��t touch the bomb, and protect the scene.��


    A few minutes later, the communicators in the ears of Roan and Chenelle suddenly rang, and Lacey��s voice came from inside:


    "clear."


    The communicator hung up. Luo An leaned against the door of the troop carrier, looking at a man and a woman in the car who were tightly controlled by six SWAT team members, and asked with a smile:


    ��Congratulations, your plans have failed.


    How about it? Can you answer my question now? "


    ??The black man sneered and said nothing. The black woman next to him coughed and was about to spit. Luo An looked calm and said first:


    ��Think before you vomit. The person next to you wanted to do the same just now, but I blocked the vomit with his clothes and gave it back to him.��


    ������xN


    The air was quiet, and the SWAT team members looked at the rag stuffed in the black man''s mouth with strange expressions. They thought it was just a simple rag just now.


    Looking at the eyes of everyone, the black man''s eyelids trembled, and his originally dark face turned a little red due to excitement. He struggled again to curse, but because a new piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth, he couldn''t speak at all.


    Chenelle looked at the black man with disdain. The black woman next to him looked left and right, pursed her lips and felt at a loss. Not long after, Winslow, Lacey and others escorted the two black men into another car. Then the two men came over. Lacey was silent for a while and asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, what��s going on?��


    The result of today''s operation was very successful, but she felt a little confused during the process and didn''t understand what was going on.


    The two black men, a man and a woman, turned their heads silently. They still didn��t understand why they were discovered or arrested.


    ?Luo An smiled, looked at the black men and women and asked:


    ��You also want to know the answer?��


    ??The black man said nothing, and the black woman nodded. Luo An grinned, waved his hand to signal the SWAT team to pull the two away, and said with a smile:


    ��I won��t tell you.��


    ������x2


    ?The car started, and the cursing black woman and the black man with wide-eyed eyes and moans were easily pulled away, full of questions and anger.


    Soon, agents from the bomb disposal department arrived at the scene and began to deal with the bombs in the building. Several SWAT team members stationed not far away breathed a sigh of relief.


    A SWAT team member with a long beard patted the shoulder of a young teammate next to him and said with a smile:


    "Don''t be nervous. I told you before departure that it is safest to operate with Team Leader Luo An."


    "I know."


    Recalling the pile of bombs he saw when he entered the building before, a flash of shock flashed through the eyes of the young SWAT team member. He glanced at Luo An and others who were communicating in the distance, and he asked in a low voice:


    ��Can you tell me more about Team Leader Luo An?��


    The bearded SWAT member grinned and whispered:


    ��For our SWAT team, Team Leader Luo An is one of the best investigation team leaders at the FBI��s Washington headquarters.��


    ??The young SWAT member was stunned for a moment. He had just joined SWAT not long ago, so he asked in a low voice:


    "Why?"


    ��Because the SWAT team that went on missions with Team Leader Luo An always had the lowest casualty rate!��


    ??The bearded SWAT team member glanced at Luo An in the distance with admiration, and then explained with a serious expression:


    ��Just like today��s operation, if Team Leader Luo An hadn��t changed the plan at a moment��s notice, once we entered that building rashly, there were so many bombs inside, and if they exploded, we would probably have to answer here today!��


    ??The young SWAT team member nodded repeatedly. He had also entered the building just now and understood that what his teammates said was true. He glanced at Luo An in the distance with admiration and gratitude. He asked with some confusion:


    ��However, how did Team Leader Luo An know that there were so many bombs inside? And he specifically asked his team members to bring signal jammers?��


    Next to the SUV in the distance, Lacey also asked this question and looked at Luo An with confusion.


    ?Winslow and Chenelle also turned their eyes. They had some guesses in their minds, but they didn''t know whether they were accurate.


    Facing his own people, Luo An did not continue to show off and explained:


    ��Michelle asked me a question before.


    The victim Carlton, the people from the anti-gun organization, and the two black men of the Reed family are all more or less related to each other.


    But it seems to have nothing to do with me, so why is there a piece of paper with my name on the scene? "


    ��That��s right.��


    ? Winslow and Chenelle nodded, and Lacey also said:


    "I didn''t understand the reason for this before. Luo An, have you figured it out?"


    ��We have made things complicated before. For example, the person who wrote the letter wanted to discredit me, etc.��


    ? Luo An pointed at the direction where the SWAT personnel carrier left and said:


    ��Actually, the real reason is very simple. They just want to attract me here and let me handle this case!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 627： Behind the scenes, interrogation, computers

    Chapter 627: Behind the Action, Interrogation, Computer


    After the words fell, Winslow and Chenelle frowned, and Lacey also reacted and frowned:


    ��The other party wants you to handle this case. His real target is you?��


    Luo An grinned and said:


    "So before today''s operation started, I didn''t rush into action. Instead, I asked Mona to take Michelle to carefully check the surveillance near this area to verify my conjecture."


    ��We brought so many people into this community, it��s impossible for the two black men in the Reed family not to know about it.��


    Chenelle suddenly realized it and said:


    ��Under normal circumstances, knowing that the FBI is coming to arrest them, it is impossible for the two members of the Reed family not to run away.


    But we were sitting outside for so long and they never moved, so this building is 100% a trap. "


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An nodded and then said:


    ��Considering the previous explosion at the design company, I suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes is still preparing to use bombs.


    ?Where is Adam Avalos of Gun Ban?


    Also, what is the identity of the black man and woman we just captured, and why did they attack you, Luo An? "


    ��There are some guesses, not sure yet, but I have asked Mona and Michelle to investigate the identity of the black man and woman.��


    ��No, the other party didn��t say a word.��


    ����


    The next day, at nine o''clock in the morning, FBI headquarters in Washington, office area of ??Investigation Team 13.


    ??Luo An shook his head, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at the bombs that had been gradually cleared not far away, and said with a smile:


    ��Besides, the person has been caught and we have time to interrogate him slowly.��


    After listening to Luo An��s narration, Lacey was enlightened and gave Luan a thumbs up with admiration. Winslow took the small remote control and began to study it. Chenelle thought for a moment and asked:


    While speaking, Luo An took out a rectangular black box about the size of a mobile phone with several buttons on it from his pocket, and handed it to Lacey:


    ��That guy never expected that not only did you bring a signal jammer, but you also found him and even caught him.��


    Thinking about it from another perspective, if I were the mastermind, the possibility of accidents with the time bomb was too high. It would be better to use a remote-controlled bomb, so I asked someone to bring a signal jammer in advance. "


    Facts proved that my guess was correct. The other party did want to use a remote-controlled bomb, but found that the situation was wrong, so he threw it. "


    ��When Mona called me later, I became more and more certain that this was a trap, so I temporarily changed my plan and let someone occupy the commanding heights.


    ?The agents were sitting at their respective workstations processing documents. Mona led Michelle to investigate the information about the black man and woman. While Lacey was processing other documents, she occasionally picked up some snacks and stuffed them into her mouth.


    ��Then I met the two suspicious men and women while climbing the stairs.��


    ??Luo An pointed to the black box that Lacey was playing with and continued:


    ��This is the remote control that Chenelle and I found near the building when you and Winslow entered the building and arrested two members of the Reed family, Lacey.


    ��How is it? Did you find any useful information?��


    "That''s it."


    Winslow also figured out the whole story after hearing this, and added his guess:


    ��When we went upstairs, the bomb that exploded in the street was used by the man and woman to divert and attract our attention.��


    ��Why would the two black men of the Reed family carry out such a plan? They wouldn��t be able to survive if those bombs exploded.


    While waiting, I looked around. The building just now has a very good observation deck on the top, which can perfectly observe things on the street, so I took you there to check the situation. "


    ??The door to the interrogation room opened not far away. Seeing Chenelle walking out of the room, Lacey quickly walked over:


    Chenelle rubbed her forehead, with a helpless expression on her face.


    ??The first person she and Luo An interrogated was bomb maker Elaine Reed, a 50-year-old black man who had just been released from prison.


    After the raid and arrest yesterday, the FBI''s Trace Inspection Section found the raw materials, drawings and other information for making bombs in a room of Elaine Reed''s residence. That''s why Roan and Chenier decided to launch an investigation against him first. trial.


    ??But because of the black gang incident more than thirty years ago, Elaine Reed simply disdained to cooperate with the FBI. No matter what she said, it was useless, so in the end Luo An decided to stop wasting time on him.


    Chenelle helplessly patted Lacey on the shoulder and said:


    ��Roan asked you and Winslow to take this guy back to the temporary prison and bring Hashem Reed up instead.��


    ��OK.�� Lacey gestured to Chenelle and asked Winslow to go with her to change people. Chenelle walked to the rest area next to her, picked up the coffee pot, and returned to the interrogation room again.


    ??In the interrogation room, Luo An was sitting on a chair and looking at the notebook in his hand. Chenelle got Luo An a cup of coffee and said:


    ��More than an hour was wasted and I didn��t get any clues.��


    "Thanks."


    After taking the cup and thanking him, Luo An took a sip, shook his head and said:


    ��No, there are still some clues.��


    ???��


    ? Cheniel��s face was full of questions, and Luo An smiled and said that when he asked the question just now, he had been carefully observing the changes in Elaine Reed��s expression, and more or less got some information.


    ��Like the three-story bomb.��


    ?Luo An pointed to the question recorded in the notebook and said:


    ��When I asked other questions, the expression on Elaine Reed��s face was more or less disdainful or too lazy to answer.


    ??But when I mentioned those bombs that could bring down a building, the expression on his face did not change. There was no trace of shock or surprise, indicating that he knew about it. "


    ?Microexpressions are just one of Luo An��s reasons. What really allows him to judge this is the ��emotional perception�� in his mind. He can say nothing with his mouth, but the emotional fluctuations produced when thinking about things cannot deceive others.


    Chenelle was a little surprised by Luo An��s judgment, and soon she noticed another thing:


    ��If your judgment is correct, does it mean that Elaine Reed no longer wants to live?


    ?The same thing happened to Hashemite? But he is only 36 years old. He has not been in prison like Elaine Reed, and his records do not show that he has believed in or joined a cult. "


    ?Luo An smiled, closed the notebook, and said:


    ��There��s no need to make wild guesses here. We��ll find out after Lacey and Winslow bring them in for interrogation.��


    ?Not long after, Hasim Reed, the black man who had given the courier $100 to help him deliver the bomb, was brought into the interrogation room by Winslow and Lacey.


    ��Good morning, Hashem-Lid.��


    Chenelle took out a pen and paper and started recording. Luo An took a sip of coffee and asked with a smile:


    ��Elaine Reed has explained everything, saying that you have always been in charge of this case and that you are the mastermind.


    How about it, do you have anything else to quibble with? "


    ��What?��


    ??Hearing Luo An''s words, 36-year-old Hashim Reed''s eyes suddenly widened. He was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hands and smiled:


    ��Comeon, bro, your lie is too low-level.


    I know Elaine, he will never cooperate with you, and I will not be fooled. "


    ��You know Elaine well?��


    Luo An smiled, crossed his arms over his chest, leaned back on the chair, and said:


    "Then you should know that Elaine has been in prison for more than thirty years. Not long after he was released from prison, he experienced the freedom of breathing, ate food from outside, and then went back in... Do you think Elaine would do this? A choice?"


    ?Hearing Luo An''s words, Hasim''s face suddenly became uncertain. After pondering for a long time, he raised his head and said:


    ��Elaine has a grudge against your FBI and there is no way he can cooperate with you.��


    ��Is hatred more important, or life and freedom?��


    Seeing Hashem��s eyes wandering, Luo An smiled and said:


    ��Still, Elaine is already 50 this year, how many more years does he have?


    Finally died in prison, do you think he would accept this outcome? "


    Hashem-Lid was silent for a while and said:


    ��I��m not the mastermind of this.��


    Chenier��s eyes brightened slightly, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and he asked:


    ��Is there any evidence?��


    ��I have videos and photos!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 628： The man behind the case

    Chapter 628: The man behind the case


    FBI Washington Headquarters, Office Area of ??Investigation Team 13, an interrogation room.


    ?Hasim said that he had hidden the videos and photos in a laptop. Roan sent Lacey and Winslow to get the laptop, and then asked:


    ��What is going on with this bombing?��


    "I don''t know either!"


    ?Hashim-Reed with the big nose was sitting on a chair, scratching his head with both hands, and said:


    ��A few months ago, Elaine came to live with me temporarily after being released from prison.


    Not long after, he said that he got a business deal. The client was a mixed-race young man who wanted to make him a bomb.


    After the bomb was completed, Elaine gave me $5,000 to deliver the bomb to the designated location according to the customer''s requirements.


    But I was too scared to go by myself, so I took $100 and found a courier who knew how to deliver the items. "


    ������x2


    The interrogation room was quiet for a few seconds, and Chenier said speechlessly:


    ��From US$5,000 to US$100, you are greedy enough.��


    Seeing the black man in the photo, Hashem nodded repeatedly and said:


    ��Elaine called the other person Mike, maybe it was someone he knew in prison.��


    ��Listen, beautiful woman, I didn��t lie to you, okay?��


    ?Hasim looked at the coffee in Luo An��s hand, licked his lips, and explained:


    ?Hasim shook his head and said that Elaine was responsible for and contacted this matter from beginning to end. He had never intervened at all, and the other party did not allow him to intervene.


    ?Hasim smiled, showing some big white teeth:


    ��That��s what middlemen do.��


    ��The videos and photos you mentioned, what are the specific contents in them?��


    ? Chenier��s expression became concentrated, and she instantly remembered the small cardboard box with the paper containing Luo An��s name that was found at the scene of the bombing. This was the box that Hasim was talking about.


    ��That mixed-race young man, where is he now?��


    ��It was Elaine talking to a black man I didn��t know.��


    "I have no idea."


    Chenelle frowned, Luo An thought for a while, and then asked:


    ��You and Elaine live together, how can you not know any of these things?��


    "you sure?"


    Chenelle sneered, raised her head and asked:


    Luo An poured himself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and asked:


    ��This is a reasonable price.��


    ��That��s right! It��s this guy!��


    ??Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and found the black man and woman he arrested yesterday. He pushed the photo of the black man among them to Hasim and asked:


    ��I don��t know who the black man is. You can read the specific conversation later.


    ?Then the black man gave Elaine a small cardboard box, and then Elaine handed the small cardboard box to me and asked me to send it to the company together. "


    "is it him?"


    ?Hasim glanced at Cheniel with an unhappy face and explained:


    ��First of all, I don��t live here for free. Elaine has to pay the rent, and he has already paid for it. If he asks me to do anything later, he will also give me Franklin.


    Second, we are black people, not white people like you.


    ?The most important rules for black people to live a smooth life are: don��t be curious, don��t pry around, don��t care too much, and just follow the rules and requirements when you get money. Do you understand? "


    ?This kind of thing is common in the Federation, and it involves the issue of racial discrimination. Chenelle didn''t say much, while Luo An looked calm and asked a few questions.


    At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, the door of the interrogation room was opened, and Michelle stepped in half-length:


    ��Team leader, there��s a situation.�� The interrogation was suspended. Luo An and Cheniel walked out of the room. After the door closed, Luo An asked:


    "What''s wrong?"


    Michelle pointed to the office area not far away and replied:


    ��Mona found out the identity of the black man and woman.��


    Luo An asked as he walked towards the office area:


    ��What are their names and identities?��


    ��The black man��s name is Yoang, he is 31 years old this year, and the black woman��s name is Lisa, she is 33 years old.��


    ??Mona turned her chair, showed the computer screen to Luo An, and said with a serious face:


    ��Luo An, this is revenge.��


    ??Hearing the word revenge, Cheniel''s face suddenly became very ugly. Luo An bent down and turned his eyes to the computer, and asked at the same time:


    ��What exactly happened?��


    ��Do you still remember the case on the island before our investigation team came to the Washington headquarters? (Chapter 514)��


    ?Mona handed a folder to Chenille and explained at the same time:


    ��The man behind that case was an arms dealer named Herrick.


    Herrick originally wanted to kill four birds with one stone: killing Minister Alexander in revenge; passing the blame on the arms dealer Hamilton; killing the rival arms dealer Hamilton; [FBI and CIA list] in the head of Jasper, the leader of the criminal group.


    ??But because of Luo An''s action, all Herrick''s plans failed. "


    ��We also took him back to Washington, D.C.��


    Chenelle nodded. She would never forget the battle on the island, but there was still a question she didn''t understand:


    ��I remember that Herric was a white man, and the majority of his mercenaries were white.


    What is his relationship with Yoon and Lisa, a black man and woman? Could it be said that Herrick escaped from prison? "


    ��No, Herric is still staying in a small dark room.��


    ?Mona shook her head, then she sneered and explained:


    ��The arrest of arms dealer Hamilton and the arrest of arms dealer Herrick does not mean that the underground arms market will disappear.


    On the contrary, since the two of them were caught, the underground arms market has begun to cooperate and fight.


    ??Among them, a woman named Sarls suddenly emerged, defeated many underground arms market practitioners, and grabbed a large piece of cake.


    CIA investigation results show that Salles�� mother is a very beautiful black woman, and her father is Hale Rick! "


    "Wow."


    Finding Salers''s photo, even Cheniel''s eyes lit up and she let out a sigh unconsciously.


    Because of his mixed race, Sarles''s complexion is not particularly dark, but his facial features are very three-dimensional. Even without makeup, he can easily attract the attention of others.


    Not only that, Salles also has the advantage of a black woman, with excellent body proportions. At first glance, she is either thighs or tall.


    ?It is also because he is engaged in the underground arms industry, but Salles has an indescribable fierce temperament, far surpassing many female stars in Hollywood.


    Chenelle closed the folder, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said:


    "It seems that both men and women, Yoang and Lisa, are Salles'' subordinates. Salles couldn''t wait to avenge his father, so he approached Roan."


    After Chenier finished speaking, Luo An, who had not spoken much, pointed to the information on the computer and said softly:


    ��Records show that the participants in that case, the fugitive men of the arms dealer Hamilton, have been dealt with by the Sallesmen.


    ??Jesper, the leader of the criminal group, his power shrank significantly after his arrest. The main leaders of the organization were killed by Salles'' men, and the grassroots personnel were recruited by her.


    As for the wives, children, and children of Hamilton and Jasper, they were all sent to **** by Salles.


    The two main waves of enemies have been dealt with, and now Salles�� target is naturally only me, who had her father imprisoned. "


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ??Hearing Luo An''s words, Chenelle''s face changed drastically, Mona''s face turned ugly, and Michelle frowned and didn''t know what to say.


    At this moment, Lacey opened the door and walked into the office area, saying loudly:


    ��Everyone! I figured out the situation behind this case!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 629： The murderer’s plan and the inside story of the case

    Chapter 629: The murderer��s plan and the inside story of the case


    Lacey opened the door and entered with a smile on her face. She shook the laptop in her hand and was very proud:


    ��I��ve figured out what��s going on in this case!��


    ����


    After the words fell, the office area fell silent. Lacey was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed that the faces of Cheniel and others were not right, so she instantly put away the smile on her face and asked in a deep voice:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��Nothing, just like you, we also discovered the circumstances behind this case.��


    ?Luo An smiled, casually took the computer from Lacey��s hand, and asked:


    ��What did you find?��


    ����


    After reading the information that Mona and Michelle found, Lacey��s lips twitched in embarrassment and whispered:


    ��Sorry, I didn��t find out about Salles. I just found out why the black man Yoon committed this case.��


    While speaking, Lacey helped Luo An open the laptop and introduced:


    ��The camera was originally used by Hashem to record him playing games with some women, but the video was accidentally recorded.


    ?There is not much content in the video. Based on their exchanges, it is not difficult to infer that the architect of the entire case is the black man Yoang. "


    ?While the video was playing, Lacey stood aside and explained carefully:


    ?The parties involved are all dead, and the bomb maker was Elaine. The only reasonable explanation the FBI can get is that when Elaine refused to be arrested, he chose to detonate the bomb and die together. "


    ?His plan is not complicated. He lures Adam into having murderous thoughts, asks Elaine to use the money to make a bomb, and explodes to kill Carlton.


    By then, not only will we and the SWAT team members be unable to escape, but nearby residents may also suffer extensive casualties! "


    ??Then Yoon arranged a large number of remote-controlled bombs at the residence of the two Leeds in advance. When Luo An led the team into the building to arrest people, he activated the bombs, leaving everyone dead without any body parts.


    Winslow next to him swallowed and said with a complicated expression:


    ��The inspection results from the Trace Inspection Section showed that if those remote-controlled bombs exploded, they could 100% bring down the building.


    ��Due to the murder of his sister and the previous debate, Adam Avalos hated the designer Carlton very much, but at that time he just cursed and threw garbage, and did not have any too extreme thoughts.


    ��That��s right.��


    ?The scene in the video is indeed as Hashem said. Yoang handed the small box containing the note with Roan''s name to Elaine, a 50-year-old black man.


    ?At the explosion site, a piece of paper with Luo An''s name was deliberately left behind, which led Luo An to take over the investigation of the case.


    ?With Luo An��s ability, it will not take long to find Hashem Reed and Elaine Reed.


    After listening to Lacey��s narration, Chenie, who almost entered the building that day, broke into a cold sweat and said:


    ��Fortunately, Luo An discovered something was wrong in advance. Not only did he bring a signal jammer, but we also didn��t enter the building yesterday.��


    ��Fu-k!��


    Even if after the investigation, the Trace Inspection Section found that the bombs at the scene were remote-controlled bombs, they would not be able to find Yoang.


    Because Yoon did not appear in the investigation, the investigation results of the 13th Investigation Team showed that this was an ordinary hate murder case.


    Yoon, a black man, noticed this. He found Adam and lured him into thinking of using a bomb for revenge. Then he introduced Adam to Elaine, who had just been released from prison.


    ��This whole case is actually a conspiracy.��


    Chenelle, Lacey and Winslow looked at each other and saw the fear and fear in each other''s eyes.


    ?The black man Yoon did this to cover up his true purpose: to kill Luo An.


    ��Sorry, I have a question.��


    Michelle, who was standing aside, frowned, raised her hand after thinking for a moment, and asked:


    ��Is Elaine an accomplice of Joao��s?


    ??As a bomb maker, it is impossible for him not to know that Joao planned to blow up a building, and he was in the building at the time. He would definitely not survive the bomb explosion! "


    Lacie shook her head and replied:


    ��Elaine is not Yoon��s accomplice, he is also a guy who wants revenge.��


    ?Michelle was a little confused:


    ��Revenge? Investigation Team 13?


    When he went to prison, we were probably still in kindergarten, or even just born. �� ? ? ? ��It��s not us specific people. "


    Just as Lacey was about to speak, Luo An slammed the folder and stood up, saying coldly:


    ��What he wants to take revenge on is our other identity, the FBI.��


    ��That��s right.��


    Lacie glanced at Luo An with admiration, nodded and explained:


    ��It was an FBI investigation team that sent Elaine to prison.


    The members of that investigation team are either dead or retired now, but more than thirty years in prison have accumulated immeasurable hatred in Elaine��s heart, so Elaine set her sights on us, because we are also the FBI, and he He doesn''t care about his own death at all.


    As for the big-nosed Hashem, he looked very shrewd, but in fact he didn��t know anything. Elaine and Yoon didn��t care about him at all and only regarded him as a human tool. "


    "damn it��"


    ?After listening to Lacey��s explanation, Chenie suddenly cursed under her breath. Next to her, Mona clenched her hands into fists and breathed heavily. After pondering for a long time, she took a deep breath to suppress the negative emotions in her heart, looked up at Luo An, and asked:


    ��This case has been clarified. Yoon used Adam��s hatred to create a cover-up for the bombing. Yoon��s real goal was to kill Luo An.


    ?And Yoang is also a tool, and the person behind it is actually Salls. Her purpose is to avenge her father.


    ?Luo An, what should we do next? "


    ?Hearing Mona''s question, Lacey, Chenelle, Winslow and Michelle all turned their attention to Luo An. Their faces were serious, and they all wanted to know what Luo An was going to do next.


    Being magnanimous and pretending this never happened is not Luo An��s style.


    ??Everyone in the No. 13 Investigation Team knows that Luo Anxin is short-sighted... well, he likes to retaliate with **** for tat, is very cautious, and hates being stared at in danger.


    ��If you have something to do, go to the chief.��


    Unlike Chenelle and others who were looking serious, Luo An smiled slightly, reached out and patted Lacey on the shoulder, gave Mona a reassuring look, and then said:


    ��One thing we still haven��t found out is where Adam Avalos is, dead or alive.


    Chenelle, Lacey, I��ll leave this matter to you, interrogate John, he must know something.


    Michelle, help me sort out the documents on this case. I''m going to find Verenith. "


    ��OK!��


    ?Several people nodded in agreement. After a while, Luo An left the office area of ??Investigation Team 13 and went to Veranith''s office.


    ��That��s about it.��


    On the chair opposite the desk, after Luo An briefly described the case, Veranith looked at the folder in her hand and remained silent.


    The air was quiet for a long time. Veranith looked up at Luo An and said in a deep voice:


    ��Data shows that the scope of activities of this woman Salls is mainly in the Americas and Africa.


    ?Luo An, are you going to handle this yourself, or are you going to let the CIA help handle this? "


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��Can I handle it myself? I remember that the FBI��s scope of work is within the federal territory.��


    ��Most of the time that��s true, but there are always exceptions.��


    ?Vereniss gave Luo An a meaningful look:


    ��You know, I mentioned before that we in the FBI have many ��special investigation teams.��


    Luo An''s expression changed and he was about to speak when there was a sudden knock on the office door, and then a female agent walked in with a slightly strange look on her face:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, the IRS is looking for you.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 630： Director Elmer

    Chapter 630 Director Elmer


    At 2:30 pm, FBI headquarters in Washington, Veranith''s office.


    ��IRS?��


    Hearing what the female agent said, Veranis looked stern and asked hurriedly:


    ��Who is the other party? Did you say why you are looking for Luo An?��


    ??The situation and status of the IRS department is really special in the Federation. Even Veranith subconsciously started to think in the worst direction when she heard this word.


    ��The other party stated that he was from IRS-CI.��


    ??This female agent is a receptionist at the building on the first floor. She briefly described the other person''s figure, appearance, words, etc., but she did not know the other person herself.


    Roan''s expression remained unchanged. Based on the descriptions of the female agents and others, he guessed the identity of the other party. He looked at Veranith and said:


    ��It should be Director Elmer of IRS-CI.��


    ��OK.��


    ��Are you the only one in this office?��


    ??Waving her hand to signal the female agent to leave, Veranith said with a serious face after the door was closed:


    Roan was stunned for a moment when he saw Director Elmer''s expression, but he didn''t panic at all. He stretched out his hand to shake hands and said with a smile:


    ?Taking the elevator downstairs, Luo An soon saw the IRS the female agent was talking about in the lounge on the first floor. Just as he had guessed, it was Elmer, the director of IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division).


    So when it was learned that Elmer''s purpose of coming this time was to find Luo An, many agents silently appeared near the lounge. They all wanted to know what happened. Did the other party come to Luo An for help or arrest Luo An? .


    ��You can just call me if you need something, why bother to go there in person.��


    ��OK, thank you, sir.��


    ??Amid the curious eyes of passers-by, Luo An and Director Elmer walked into the elevator together and returned to Investigation Team 13.


    The top and third leaders of this large FBI department have agreed, and there will definitely be no one who will object to this without opening their eyes.


    ��I will go to Mr. Clement��s office later to discuss the bombing and the establishment of a ��special investigation team�� with him.��


    ??Entering the team leader''s office, Luo An poured a cup of coffee for Director Elmer. Director Elmer still looked tense and asked in a serious voice:


    ?Due to concerns about certain issues, the office area of ??the No. 13 Investigation Team will conduct a comprehensive inspection every two days to prevent the occurrence of eavesdropping, recording, surveillance and other equipment that does not belong to the No. 13 Investigation Team, and the team leader''s office is no exception.


    Veranith is not worried at all about whether Luo An can become the leader of the "Special Investigation Team".


    ?Luo An smiled and nodded, exchanged a few brief greetings, got up and left the office first.


    ��OK.��


    ?Veriness was slightly relieved to know the friendship between Roan and Elmer.


    ??In addition to Mr. Clement, FBI Director Robert would also not mind coming out to say a few words to Luo An.


    ?But today when Elmer saw Luo An, he was not smiling as before. On the contrary, the corners of his mouth were curved down and his face was gloomy, and he looked very serious.


    Coupled with Elmer��s IRS identity, the first reaction of strangers when they saw him was definitely ��I��m screwed.��


    ??Luo An frowned slightly, understood the meaning of Elmer''s words, turned around and replied seriously:


    ��I check this office every day. It is absolutely safe. There are no eavesdropping or monitoring devices. You can rest assured.��


    ?Elmer stretched out his hand and shook hands with Luo An, with a solemn expression on his face, and said directly:


    ��Go to your office.��


    ��OK.��


    ??After receiving Luo An''s chest-beating assurance, Elmer breathed a long sigh of relief. The serious and tense expression on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a bitter look. He took Luo An''s hand and whispered:


    ��Luo An! You have to help me!��


    ������ Elmer��s expression changed so quickly that Luo An didn��t react. He was stunned for a moment and pulled out his hand with force and asked:


    "what happens?"


    ��Do you remember the time we drank together before?�� (Chapter 552)


    Elmer sighed dejectedly and said with a gloomy face:


    ��Your guess is correct, there is indeed something wrong with that **** Bernard Madoff! He is indeed running a Ponzi scheme!��


    Elmer said that after he left the bar that day, he began to quietly investigate Bernard Madoff.


    ?You don��t know if you don��t check, but when you check, Elmer is shocked to find that Bernard Madoff��s return on investment is actually a line that keeps rising, never falling, and is a hundred times more stable than the stock market!


    ?This is obviously abnormal, because the stock market rises and falls, and investment cannot always make money. Loss is the norm for most people.


    ��I initially thought that Bernard Madoff was using his position as chairman of Nasdaq to use insider information to trade or front-run.��


    Elmer sat on a chair, covering his face with his hands, and whispered:


    ��After investigating for a period of time, I found that this guess was wrong


    ?Then there is only one truth left: a Ponzi scheme. "


    ?Luo An picked up the coffee and took a sip, then asked in a low voice:


    ��You can��t get your money back?��


    I remember Elmer said before that he also handed over his own funds to Bernard Madoff''s investment company for management.


    ��No, I��ve got my money back.��


    ?Elmer shook his head:


    ��I don��t have much money, it��s not even a change to Bernard Madoff.


    I submitted the application on the grounds that my family had a sudden change and I needed money urgently. Within three hours, all the principal and "investment income" were credited into my account. "


    ��It��s so fast.��


    ?This did surprise Luo An. Seeing Elmer''s increasingly silent face, Luo An put down his coffee cup and asked in a serious voice:


    ��What are you going to do?��


    ��I want to expose this cousin��s bastard!��


    ?Elmer took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:


    ��The apparent amount of the fund owned by Bernard Madoff has accumulated to 50 billion.


    But according to my secret investigation, the actual amount of that fund is less than one-third of the figure on the book, and the rest is a bubble!


    Not only that, Bernard Madoff has always claimed that his foundation only manages funds for wealthy people, and ordinary people are not qualified to enter.


    But in fact, from 2000 to now, the vast majority of members who have joined that foundation are middle-class families in the federation! Their number has grown to nearly 30,000! "


    Luo An nodded. This is a normal operation. The underlying logic of the Ponzi scheme is to hand over the money of new entrants to the first to join in the name of "interest", and then continue to develop layer by layer.


    The problem is that the overall number of new entrants is limited, and the number of wealthy people in the federation is even more limited.


    After all the wealthy people entered the foundation, Bernard Madoff could only focus on the lower middle class and hand over the money of the middle class to the first wealthy people to join in order to maintain the scam.


    ��Bernard Madoff��s status is too high.��


    Roan refilled Elmer��s cup with coffee and said in a deep voice:


    ��He is a member of the Wall Street Securities and Exchange Commission, and he has even participated in the formulation and revision of many of the Securities and Exchange Commission��s rules.


    ?Hence, it is simply impossible to bring down Bernard Madoff from the Securities Regulatory Commission. "


    Elmer nodded. He had worked in the IRS for so many years, and he understood very well the operating logic of various departments within the federal government. He also understood that the Securities and Futures Commission was unreliable. He even suspected that the Securities and Futures Commission and Bernard Madoff might be wearing Same pair of pants.


    ��That��s why I came to find you.��


    Elmer raised his head and said solemnly:


    ��Luo An, you are the best team leader in the FBI, bar none. I need your help.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 631： Ponzi scheme, growing the pie, email

    Chapter 631 Ponzi scheme, making the cake bigger, email


    Investigation Team 13, in the team leader''s office, Elmer looked at Luo An eagerly.


    Roan did not immediately agree to Elmer''s request. After thinking for a few seconds, he said:


    ��Why hasn��t Bernard Madoff��s Ponzi scheme been exposed for so long?��


    Elmer looked stern and thought of something:


    ��You mean, there��s someone else behind Bernard Madoff?��


    ?Luo An shook his head and said:


    ��It��s not necessarily that there are people behind him, but that there are people who see through it but don��t tell it, and they just play this ��game�� with Bernard Madoff.��


    Anyone who has worked in the financial industry can see that there is something wrong with the fund rate of return created by Bernard Madoff. It is impossible to say that the wealthy tycoons and conglomerates on Wall Street cannot see it.


    "I think so too."


    Elmer said in a deep voice:


    ��Madoff��s foundation has investments from many large consortiums and banks, and even some European countries have invested money in it.


    Because of this, I chose to investigate this matter secretly, without daring to disclose any information. "


    Putting down the coffee cup, Luo An asked:


    ��According to your previous plan, when you find Madoff himself, those consortia will most likely get the information first and then transfer their funds.


    ��It��s dangerous, isn��t it?��


    Elmer is a standard federal man. He attaches great importance to his own life and the safety of his family, but his deep conscience prevents him from quietly watching nearly 30,000 middle-class families being destroyed by Madoff''s scam. The combination of the two made Elmer very confused.


    Elmer smiled bitterly and replied:


    ��Initially, I wanted to find a suitable tax reason to investigate the financial status of any employee of Madoff��s foundation.


    Roan waved his hand to interrupt Elmer and said:


    The status of the consortium in the Federation is well known. Elmer''s face was solemn. Luo An continued his analysis:


    ��No, I mean, your plan is too slow.��


    ?)


    ?Luo An frowned slightly:


    Roan did not answer Elmer directly, but took a coffee cup and analyzed it unhurriedly:


    ?Then I "accidentally" discovered that there was a problem with Madoff''s fund, and then followed the clues and continued to investigate to expose this matter. "


    ��I haven��t thought of a proper plan yet.��


    ��Before we expose Madoff��s scam, we need to clarify a few issues first.��


    ��What was your original plan? Can you tell me about it?��


    ��The reason why Madoff��s scam has been able to last for so long is not only because of his high status and skillful means, but also because the China Securities Regulatory Commission turned a blind eye and certain consortiums or organizations participated.


    ?These financial groups are hiding behind and waiting for Madoff to make money for themselves. They are not afraid that they will not get their money back.


    ?Elmer froze on his chair with a question mark on his face:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    Once you expose this scam, not only Madoff himself will be angry, but the consortium behind him will also be unhappy. After all, for them, not making money means losing money. "


    "I know that this method can easily arouse Madoff''s vigilance and even force him to kill people..."


    Elmer smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly:


    ��This plan of yours����


    In the end, you can only get an empty account, and I��m afraid not a penny of the funds invested by nearly 30,000 middle-class families will be left.


    After this happens, the federal people will naturally yell at Madoff, and you, as the leader of this case, will also be hostile to the federal people. They will think that you are a member of those consortia, and everything you do is to make profits for the consortium.


    At that time, if you can��t explain it, your colleagues and superiors will probably have other ideas about you, and your career path will most likely end here. "


    ������ Elmer��s eyelids twitched. He had been thinking about how to bring down Madoff, but he really hadn��t thought much about what would happen after he brought down Madoff.


    Compared with other departments, the IRS has a very special status, which makes the IRS-CI''s working methods a bit simple and crude. Most of the time, people are arrested first, then the accounts are searched for evidence, and finally the interrogation is carried out.


    ??So Elmer didn��t know much about handling detailed cases. After all, he specialized in the field. Seeing Luo An��s unhurried look, he quickly asked:


    ��Luo An, do you have any good ideas?��


    ��It��s very simple.��


    ?Luo An didn��t sell it and said directly:


    ��Build the pie, look for the big ones, and move quickly.��


    ?The relationship between federal officials and wealthy people is very interesting. Most of the time, people will always say that a certain rich man persuaded a certain official with money, but they will not say that a certain rich man ordered a certain official.


    Because federal officials all know the bottom line: they are the ones with the power and can do things, but the rich must also come up with corresponding conditions.


    ?This is why there are many ��lobby groups�� in Washington, DC:


    The group of people in Congress and the White House are the ones who hold power. The wealthy people and consortiums outside can indeed allow them to introduce bills and regulations that benefit the wealthy people, but this process must pay a "price" or take some money. Out of "benefits".


    ??If a rich person wants to break this rule and directly "order" a person with power, he will inevitably be attacked by other people in power, because this touches the bottom line of the person in power.


    ??Madoff is indeed very rich, and has many friends who support and help him, but most of those people are on Wall Street and not many in Washington, DC.


    A Ponzi scheme involving US$50 billion is undoubtedly a big case, and handling it properly is definitely a great achievement. Even FBI Director Robert or IRS Director would not mind showing up to support this case. .


    ��We need to find a leader who has a high status but lacks some political achievements.��


    A flash of light flashed in Luo An��s eyes and he said in a deep voice:


    ��You directly raided Madoff��s company and took him away, and at the same time completely blocked and froze his bank account.


    It is up to the chief to withstand the pressure from the consortium, quickly interrogate Madoff to make him confess, and then return the funds in the account to all the victims at the same time, rather than letting the consortium take all the money.


    In the end, Madoff was imprisoned, the chief gained political achievements and reputation, the consortium made no profit but did not lose either, and the middle-class family lost some money but still has some left. They will curse Madoff, but they will not curse you, the leader of the case. The cake is barely enough. "


    As long as the consortium still exists, it is absolutely impossible for the defrauded middle class to get back all their funds. Getting part of it back is the best outcome Luo An can think of.


    ?After hearing Luo An��s plan, Elmer��s eyes became extremely bright and he applauded repeatedly, but suddenly he noticed something and asked:


    ��You don��t intend to participate in this case?��


    ?Luo An nodded, briefly talked about the explosion, spread his hands and said:


    "I do not have time."


    ?In addition to this reason, Luo An considered that this matter involves nearly 30,000 middle-class families and will definitely cause a large-scale media discussion afterwards. Luo An does not want to attract the attention of these media, nor does he want to arouse the interest of the president and others.


    Secondly, although Elmer is from the IRS, the FBI''s involvement in this case cannot be avoided due to the responsibilities of each department.


    As long as Luo An reports this matter to Mr. Clement or FBI Director Robert, as a cake maker, even if he does not participate in specific actions later, he will never lack his credit afterwards.


    Thinking about these aspects, Luo An described the plan to Elmer in detail, then briefly described the matter to Veranith and Mr. Clement, and after introducing Elmer to FBI Director Robert, he Returned to his office.


    ??Who will FBI Director Robert send to work with Director Elmer later, as well as how Madoff, the super con man, will be caught, Luo An puts them all in the back of his mind.


    Turning on the computer and looking at the photo of the black and white mixed-race woman on the computer, Luo An narrowed his eyes and thought quietly.


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    It was almost time to get off work, and when Luo An was packing his things, there was a sudden knock on the door of the team leader''s office, and a person walked in, it was Mona.


    Luo An asked casually:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��I received an email.��


    ?Mona shook her laptop and said in a deep voice:


    ��The sender is Salls.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 632： Email content, find Adam

    Chapter 632: Email content, find Adam


    ��Email from Salls?��


    ??In the team leader''s office, Luo An, who was packing his things, was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Mona, and asked:


    ��What is the specific content?��


    ?Mona showed the laptop screen to Luo An and said seriously:


    ��Sales said he knew about the black man and woman and said it was a misunderstanding.


    She has no intention of taking action against you, Luo An. You are the FBI, and it was Luo An��s responsibility to arrest her father Herrick. She can understand that.


    As for the black man and woman, they acted without authorization. Salles sincerely apologized in this email and let the FBI deal with them as we please. "


    After reading the text in the email, Luo An raised his eyebrows and smiled:


    ��I didn��t expect Salls to be so humorous.


    The reasons for acting without authorization are all conceivable. "


    ��He also told us to deal with it casually.��


    ?Mona closed her laptop, grinned and said disdainfully:


    "dislike."


    ��No, there��s no need����


    ??But when sending an email, use your computer skills to write something like "This email contains illegal content and the other party cannot receive it" or similar words at the link of the email. "


    Driving back to the villa, Luo An and Mona cooked some dinner while having fun. After dinner, the two began to sit on the sofa and watch TV to rest.


    ��Keep the content intact and don��t change a single punctuation mark.


    ��I haven��t thought of it yet.��


    "The man and woman have been caught. It''s up to us to decide how to deal with it."


    ����


    ??Luo An shook his head. Mona turned around and was about to leave after hearing the words. The next second, Luo An''s eyes suddenly moved slightly. He reached out and took Mona''s arm and said:


    ��No, it��s better to reply to her email.��


    ??After lightly patting Luo An''s arm, Mona walked out of the team leader''s office with a smile and began to prepare to send the email.


    But as a woman who rose to prominence in a short period of time and grabbed a large piece of cake in the underground arms market, would she be afraid of herself?


    ?Luo An put his chin on his hand and thought seriously. He had not yet felt that his reputation had reached such a high level.


    ?Mona was stunned for a moment but nodded, then opened her notebook and asked:


    ??Luo An continued to pack his things, and the time soon reached the end of the day. There was no nonsense and no overtime. Everyone in the No. 13 Investigation Team immediately left the headquarters building and went back to their homes.


    Luo An chuckled and asked:


    "How do you like it?"


    ?Mona tilted her head, thought for a while, and asked:


    Luo An thought for a while and said:


    ??Mona twitched the corner of her mouth, then rolled her eyes at Luo An and said speechlessly:


    ��You are so bad.��


    ??The two chatted briefly, and Mona asked with some confusion:


    ��What does Salls mean by sending this email?��


    ��Where��s the reply content?��


    ??Luo An shook his head. Judging from the content alone, this was just an ordinary letter of apology. The words were even a bit humble, giving the impression that Salles was afraid that Luo An would take revenge and arrest her.


    ��Shall we send her an email back?��


    In the middle of the sofa, Mona is holding a pillow in her arms, snacks in her left hand, and a remote control in her right hand, responsible for controlling TV programs.


    Luo An sat next to her, holding another bag of snacks and silently putting them into his mouth, looking at the computer with a somewhat distracted look.


    ?Suddenly, Luo An reached out and patted Mona''s arm and said:


    ��Give me your phone.��


    "oh."


    ?Mona found her mobile phone and gave it to Luo An, and asked casually:


    ��What do you want to do?��


    "Make a call."


    ??Getting up and kissing Mona on the forehead, Luo An took her mobile phone and walked to the kitchen not far away, found a number and dialed it.


    ??The phone was quickly connected, and a somewhat happy elderly male voice sounded:


    ��Good evening! Mona, why did you call me today?��


    "It''s not Mona, it''s me, Roan." Roan asked casually. The man on the other end of the phone was Mona''s father, Javari Evans.


    ����


    Hearing Luo An��s voice, the voice on the phone paused for a moment, and then the enthusiasm in his tone dissipated by half, and he asked:


    "What''s wrong? Why did you call me on Mona''s cell phone?"


    Luo An was already used to Jawali��s change of tone, so he selectively ignored it and said directly:


    ��I need your help. (I need your help)��


    ??Jawali: ������


    Not long after, Luo An left the kitchen and returned to the sofa to return the phone to Mona. Mona asked in confusion:


    ��I thought I heard you called my father just now. Why are you looking for him?��


    ?Luo An smiled, snatched the snacks from Mona��s hand, and replied:


    ��Just a little thing, let him help me check something.��


    ��Is it related to Sarles?��


    "almost."


    ??Mona nodded and stopped asking. After watching the TV, the two of them washed and rested together, and spent the whole night in silence.


    The next day, at nine o''clock in the morning, in the office area of ??Investigation Team 13, Luo An and Michelle were working on the follow-up documents of the case. Lacey and Chenelle opened the door and walked in together, saying loudly:


    ��Everyone, we have information about Adam Avalos!��


    ?Several people raised their heads one after another, and Winslow asked:


    "Where is he?"


    ��Just on the Hudson River in the northern suburbs of New York.��


    Chenelle handed the document to Luo An, spread her hands helplessly and said:


    ��After Adam gave Elaine the last payment for making the bomb, the black man Yoang killed him.


    John put Adam''s body into a trash can, put some big rocks in the trash can, tied the trash can to death, and then pushed Adam''s body into the Hudson River with the bucket. "


    "All right."


    The faces of the agents were a little ugly. Luo An closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.


    ??The Hudson River flows through eastern New York State from north to south. Cities along its banks include Saratoga, Troy, Albany, Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, New York City, etc. It is the economic lifeline of New York State.


    ?Since the emergence of the city of New York, internal battles among human beings have never stopped, including vendettas, love killings, politics, gangs, etc. No one knows how many people are lying at the bottom of the Hudson River.


    ��Contact the search and rescue department.��


    After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An opened his eyes and reached out to pat Michelle, and said:


    ��Let them try to find the body of Adam Avalos and complete the evidence chain in this case.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Michelle nodded, picked up the landline phone on the table and started to contact the relevant departments.


    ?At this moment, Luo An��s cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, and Veranith��s voice sounded:


    ��Roan, come with me to Mr. Clement��s office.��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    Hang up the phone, Luo An simply arranged his work, got up and went to Mr. Clement''s office.


    ??At the door of the office, the secretary saw Luo An, immediately stood up and smiled at him, and opened the door of the office for Luo An without asking anything.


    "Thanks."


    Luo An smiled and thanked the secretary, walked into the office, and found that in addition to the familiar Mr. Veranith and Mr. Clement, there was another person in the office who looked about thirty years old, with short hair and strong muscles. A very capable looking white man.


    ??Luo An glanced briefly and found a conspicuous scar on the edge of the opponent''s neck. The experienced Luo An recognized it as a penetrating wound at a glance.


    That is, a bullet once penetrated the edge of the white man''s neck, but the white man was lucky enough to survive.


    Countless thoughts flashed through his mind instantly, but his expression did not change at all. Luo An smiled at the two officers as usual:


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    Mr. Clement nodded and introduced:


    ��Let��s meet him, this guy��s name is Roland, he��s from the CIA.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 633： CIA agent identity, new information

    Chapter 633: CIA agent identity, new information


    Mr. Clement��s office at FBI headquarters in Washington.


    ��Hello, Team Leader Luo An.��


    ??The white man grinned, showing his big white teeth, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Luo An:


    ��I have heard the name of Team Leader Luo An for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity to meet him.��


    "Hello."


    Roan smiled, stretched out his hand to shake Roland''s hand, and then asked with some confusion:


    ��Excuse me, who are you this time?��


    ��I have been abroad and was busy handling some cases related to underground arms dealers.��


    Roland explained casually, and Mr. Clement waved his hand. He immediately nodded and turned to leave the office.


    The office door was closed, Mr. Clement coughed lightly and said:


    ��Luo An, the director and I already know about the bombing and Sarles.


    The formal establishment of the special investigation team still requires some procedures, but some preparations can be made in advance. This Roland is the new member who has temporarily joined the special investigation team. "


    Once the special investigation team is formally established, you can start taking action. "


    The whole world knows that the CIA''s work scope is outside the federal borders, dealing with criminals, terrorists, coup assassinations, etc.


    After a brief discussion, Luo An and Veranith walked out of the office together. In the corridor, Veranith suddenly whispered:


    ��Okay, sir.��


    Mr. Clement turned his attention to Veranith, and Veranith explained:


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and noticed a word:


    "temporary?"


    After Veranith finished explaining, Luo An smiled and then added:


    ��In contrast, according to the rules, if our FBI leaves the federal government to work overseas, we must also add an agent from the CIA to our team.��


    Luo An looked stern and asked in a low voice:


    ?Either put a layer of skin on yourself, pretend to be from other departments, do things quietly, and be punished if found out.


    ��You know, we are the FBI, and in most cases, the FBI cannot operate overseas.��


    �� Within the federal territory, the FBI is responsible for arresting serial murderers, interstate criminals, handling white milk powder, etc. The two do not interfere with each other.


    ?Luo An suddenly understood the meaning of Veranith''s words.


    Regarding the establishment of a new special investigation team, with Luo An as the leader and responsible for this matter, because of the previous case involving the Speaker of Congress, FBI Director Robert had no objection at all, and was quite supportive, and released the document that day. Go down.


    ?For example, in the case-handling team, an FBI agent is temporarily seconded. "


    Verenice nodded, Mr. Clement smiled and said:


    ��Agent Roland is the candidate recommended by FBI Director Robert and I.��


    Roan nodded. It was not difficult to tell what Mr. Clement meant. Agent Roland only joined Roan''s investigation team temporarily and would leave after handling the Sarles case.


    ��That��s right.��


    ��Luo An, remember to pay more attention to Agent Roland when you leave the Federation and go out for action.��


    ?Either follow the rules and add a federal law enforcement officer to the work team to act in compliance.


    ?Seeing Luo An''s sudden realization, Veranith''s eyes flashed with a look of satisfaction, and then continued:


    ��If the CIA wants to do something within the Commonwealth, it has only two options:


    ?Following Roland''s information on his desk and handing the document to Roan, Mr. Clement continued:


    ��Agent Roland has some knowledge of Salls�� situation, you can have a chat with him.


    ��Agent Roland has a problem?��


    ��No, I mean, you should pay more attention to his...actions.��


    Veranith shook her head, with a strange look on her face, and whispered:


    ��This Agent Roland has one characteristic, he runs fast!


    He has participated in many operations hosted by the CIA over the years. In addition to those that were successfully completed, there were also many that failed.


    Those actions that failed, Roland might be injured, even seriously injured, but he would always survive.


    Because he can always spot danger before others and run away quickly! "


    Hearing Veranith��s explanation, Luo An��s lips twitched and he was silent for a few seconds before asking:


    ��CIA has never doubted Roland��s identity or other circumstances?�� ��Of course it has!��


    Veranith shook her head, how could a place like the CIA not review Roland after the operation was over.


    ?However, after multiple reviews, it was determined that there was no problem with Roland��s identity, experience, phone calls, and actions before and after, so the CIA could only come to one conclusion in the end:


    Roland is very observant, has great fortune, and good luck...and his legs and feet are very nimble and he can run fast.


    ����


    Luo An''s face twitched. This was the first time he heard such a thing.


    Veranis was also a little speechless, but she still patted Luo An on the shoulder and said:


    ��Whether Roland is just lucky or really has strong observation skills, you are right to pay more attention to his movements.


    There is no shame in running away with him when you find something is wrong. Survival is the most important thing. "


    ?Veriness knew that Luo An was physically strong and stronger than many people, and his mind and brain were not bad either.


    Because of this, Veranith is even more worried about Luo An, and is very afraid that Luo An will be injured or even die because of his arrogance at a critical moment.


    "I see."


    ?? Luo An nodded. He understood very well the principle of running away if you can''t fight, and he never thought about doing arrogant and uncertain things. Only by living can you have a future.


    ��OK.��


    ??After a brief chat, Veranith returned to her office, and Luo An also returned to Investigation Team 13.


    ��Everyone, let me introduce, this is Agent Roland from the CIA.��


    At the front of the office area of ??Investigation Team 13, Luo An briefly introduced Roland��s identity to the agents. After everyone exchanged a few words, Roland took out a folder and said:


    ��Here are some relevant information about Sarles. Should we check and discuss it?��


    "certainly."


    Roan patted Roland on the shoulder and led the agents into the conference room next to him.


    ??At the long conference table, all the agents of Investigation Team 13 were seated. Roland didn��t waste any time. He sent the information in the folder to everyone and introduced:


    ��Saers, the fourth daughter of arms dealer Herrick, is 29 years old this year����


    ��Sorry to interrupt.��


    Hearing Roland��s introduction, several people present were a little surprised. Lacey glanced at Mona and asked in confusion:


    ��The information we found does not show that Herric has other children?��


    ��This is information from our CIA database.��


    Roland smiled and said:


    ��You work for the FBI, so it��s normal that you can��t find it.��


    "All right."


    Lacie nodded, Mona''s eyes moved slightly, and she became interested in the CIA''s database again.


    Luo An noticed another thing and asked:


    ��Since Salls is Herric��s fourth daughter, who are Herric��s first three children?��


    ��It doesn��t matter who they are, because they are already dead.��


    Roland found a few **** photos and sent them to everyone, saying:


    ��After Herrick was taken to prison, his eldest son, second daughter, and third son all died in explosions within a short period of time.


    ?The three children, wives, husbands, and mother, the Herric woman, also died in the explosion, and no bones were left. "


    ������xN


    Looking at the photos that needed to be mosaicd on the table, Winslow, Chenelle, and Michelle frowned, Mona and Lacey looked ugly, and Roan asked:


    ��Did Salls do it?��


    ��We haven��t found it yet.��


    Roland spread his hands and replied:


    "But apart from Salls and her mother still alive, even Herric''s youngest fifth son and the mother of the fifth son were killed in a certain villa."


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 634： [The Case of Underground Arms Dealer Salls]

    Chapter 634 [Case of Underground Arms Dealer Salls]


    FBI Washington Headquarters, Investigation Team 13 Conference Room.


    "Wow."


    Looking at the red and white photos that needed to be mosaicd on the conference table, Lacey was speechless:


    ��I didn��t expect that Salls was so beautiful but had such a cruel heart.��


    ��It��s not necessarily Salls who did it, right?��


    Chenier frowned, looked up at Roland, and asked:


    "Does Herric have no enemies? Is it possible that after Herric was imprisoned, his enemies began to take revenge on his relatives?"


    "Herrick has been in the underground arms market for many years, and it is impossible not to have enemies."


    Roland shook his head and replied:


    ��But who actually did these things? Our CIA has not found any useful information. We can only say that there are any possibilities.��


    ��OK.��


    Roan waved his hand to interrupt Lacey who was about to say something else, and gestured to Roland:


    "Go on."


    Roland picked up the folder and introduced:


    ��Saers��s mother is Mary, a pianist who is 48 years old this year. She and Herrick gave birth to Saars when she was 19 years old.


    Before he became an underground arms dealer, Salles inherited his mother''s hobbies and talents and had been teaching piano in an African country as a music teacher. "


    Looking at the photo of Salles playing the piano tenderly, Winslow said in surprise:


    ��From a teacher to an underground arms dealer, the industry span is really big.��


    ?Others were also a little surprised but said nothing. Roland then introduced:


    ��After becoming an underground arms dealer, Salls was very aggressive and killed nearly 10 of his colleagues in a very short period of time, grabbing a large piece of the cake, and his power quickly expanded.


    But this approach also made her gain a lot of enemies in a short period of time.


    ??So ever since he entered the underground arms market, Sarles has never settled down and has been in a cycle of "doing business - grabbing territory - assassinating and attacking others - being attacked and assassinated by others". "


    ??Looking at Roland placing nearly ten arms dealers killed by Salls on the conference table, the agents of the No. 13 Investigation Team had different expressions.


    ??But they had to admit that Sarles was very powerful, and it was really extraordinary that he could survive to this day after being attacked with revenge by so many people.


    Luo An noticed another thing and asked:


    ��Some of these killed arms dealers were in Africa and some in South America, and their bases were not in the same country. Does Sarls have no fixed territory or fixed area of ??activity?��


    ��Indeed not.��


    Roland shook his head and explained:


    ��Because he has many enemies, Sarles rarely stays in the same place for a long time.


    She has safe houses or secret bases in many countries in Africa and South America, and often flies people around, so no one can find out her specific whereabouts. "


    Hearing Roland��s words, the agents on both sides of the conference table frowned. Mona stopped typing on the keyboard and asked:


    ��If we can��t find Sarles�� specific whereabouts, how can we catch her?��


    Roland spread his hands, saying that there was nothing he could do, and then turned his eyes to Luo An next to him.


    Winslow, Chenille and others also looked at Luo An. Luo An pondered for a few seconds and asked:


    ��Roland, can your CIA help us get some false identities, and then contact Salls to meet with her in the name of buying weapons?��


    Roland shook his head and said:


    ��It��s easy to get some fake identities, but for ordinary arms transactions, Sarles will not show up personally, and will only let her men do the transactions.


    As for big business, Sarles only trades with regular customers, or with people recommended by regular customers. "


    The eyes of all the detectives present lit up when they heard this, and Luo An also laughed and said:


    "Then the next step is very simple. Let''s find a regular customer first, find a way to "persuade" him, and then ask him to introduce me to Salls voluntarily and kindly." "That''s a good idea."


    Roland picked up the folder and said:


    ��I will go back and investigate Salers�� regular customers, then identify suitable candidates, and choose one to come out and chat with him.��


    "Need not."


    After Roland finished speaking, as soon as he packed up the folders and prepared to leave the conference table, Mona raised her hand and interrupted him, saying loudly:


    ��I have logged into the CIA database and will be able to find the information of Sarles�� regular customers right away.��


    ������xN


    Roland: "???"


    Hearing Mona''s words, Winslow, Chenelle, and Michelle were speechless. Lacey''s eyes lit up and hurried to Mona''s side. Roan raised his hands to cover his eyes helplessly. He knew this would happen. .


    Roland��s face was full of surprise and he said in disbelief:


    ��You logged into the CIA��s database? How is that possible? Its security is so high����


    ��It��s not that complicated.��


    ??Mona said with a smile while typing on the keyboard:


    ��I didn��t hack into the CIA��s database, I just borrowed the account of a CIA agent and used his authority to log in and view the data.


    He is one of the CIA''s own, and the database will not find the problem. "


    ����


    Roland''s eyebrows pounded. He remembered that when they first met, Mona asked him for some information in the name of "verifying their identity"...his intuition told him that he might be familiar with the "certain agent" Mona mentioned.


    Roland was about to speak when Roan interrupted him first and took him out of the conference room.


    Entering the rest area, Luo An turned on the coffee machine and ground coffee, poured Roland a cup, and then asked with a smile:


    ��Agent Roland, I won��t beat around the bush, but can you tell me where Salers is from?��


    Roland originally wanted to discuss Mona��s incident with Luo An, but when he heard Luo An��s question, he suddenly became stern and said seriously:


    ��Sorry, Team Leader Luo An, I don��t know what you are talking about����


    ��No, you know.��


    Roan picked up the coffee and took a sip. He looked at Roland with a half-smile and said:


    ��The underground arms market industry will definitely not be able to do business if there is no support behind it, because arms dealers cannot produce guns and ammunition themselves, they are just middlemen and porters.


    I am not interested in what the CIA is doing overseas, and I don��t want to know too much about it.


    But the Salles matter involves me and my team members, so I have to figure out who is the person behind Salles, OK? "


    ?For the sake of politics and interests, the CIA has done things like carrying out coups and assassinations, supporting puppets, killing people with borrowed knives, and controlling and supporting the top leaders of the milk powder dynasty.


    With such a huge underground arms trading market, the CIA cannot let it go. Therefore, about half of the underground arms dealers in the world are related to the CIA, and some arms dealers are even CIA themselves.


    Previously, due to the FBI''s own responsibilities, Luo An always thought that the Salles matter would eventually be handed over to the CIA, which would handle it.


    Unexpectedly, the incident actually gave it to the investigation team of himself and himself, and sent a CIA agent to allow the 13th investigation team to take the agent to go to the Federal Overseas organization to arrest.


    For a moment, a lot of possible conspiracies flashed through Luo An''s mind, such as "killing people with a borrowed knife", "looking for someone to take the blame", "the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole behind".


    ??It''s not that Luo An has a dark mind and always thinks of the worst when it comes to things.


    ??But this was originally the work of the CIA. Let Luo An and other FBI take action. From a certain perspective, it is not much different from grabbing jobs.


    Coupled with the fact that the CIA has a reputation that is almost like sludge, without a trace of "clean" impurities...


    The rest room was extremely quiet. Time passed by. Roland was silent for a long time and finally whispered:


    ��Leader Luo An, do you know MI6?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 635： CIA, MI6, benefits

    Chapter 635 CIA, MI6, benefits


    ?Hearing the words spoken by Roland, Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��Is the person behind Salers from MI6?��


    MI6 is a familiar name. Anyone who has watched the 007 series of movies knows that it is the foreign intelligence agency of Great Britain, not Northern Ireland, not quite the United Kingdom.


    ?In addition to MI6, there is also MI5. The relationship between the two is similar to that of the CIA and the FBI. MI6 works abroad, while MI5 is responsible for domestic work.


    ��No.��


    Roland shook his head and replied:


    ��We haven��t determined that yet.��


    Just when Luo An was about to ask a question, Roland explained first:


    ��But what you just said is right. Not everyone can do the underground arms trade. There must be someone behind them.


    The CIA determined that the people behind Salles were not our people. Since they were not our people, they could only be MI6 people. "


    ����


    Roan��s lips twitched. Roland��s words were both outrageous and reasonable. After thinking about it for a moment, he asked:


    ��Half of Sarles��s area of ??activity is in Africa. Is it possible that the people behind her are from a powerful African country, the French Republic?��


    Roland was speechless when he heard Luo An call the other party a powerful country in Africa and said:


    "impossible."


    ��What��s the reason?��


    ��There are two main reasons.��


    Roland explained seriously:


    ��First, 60% of the weapons sold by Salers are British, 40% are federal, and there is almost no legal system.


    Second, if the people behind Sarles came from the French Republic, MI6 of the Commonwealth would have ended long ago, and it would have been impossible for Sarles to develop smoothly to this point. "


    ??Luo An suddenly nodded. The grudges between the British Kingdom and the French Republic have become deeply entrenched after hundreds of years of entanglement, and they have become accustomed to stumbling upon each other.


    Coupled with the fact that the British Kingdom has developed the habit of being a troublemaker, various countries have already made predictions:


    ??If the British Kingdom does not come out to cause trouble and stir up trouble in a certain incident, then there is a high probability that he is the mastermind behind the incident.


    Just like the federation, if the spokesperson makes a statement that has nothing to do with the federation, it is most likely made by the federation.


    ?These two have almost become laws.


    Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, and then he asked:


    ��Last question, why didn��t the CIA take over this incident? Instead, let the FBI handle it?��


    ??Although there is a matter of setting up a "special investigation team", the CIA has the right to refuse with reason. In other overseas cases encountered by the FBI in the past, it was not as readily agreed as this time.


    Roland blinked and did not answer immediately. Roan looked at him with a half-smile and said:


    ��So, your CIA plan is to wait for me to deal with Salles and you guys to come out and take over her business territory, right?��


    Roland forced out an awkward smile and whispered:


    ��Don��t say it so harshly, we...��


    Roan waved his hand to interrupt Roland and said:


    ��I don��t mind this, but I have a request.��


    Roland asked hurriedly:


    "any request?"


    Luo An stretched out his poor right hand towards him and grinned:


    ��Where��s my share?��


    ����


    Roland left, walking very quickly, forgetting what happened to Mona just now.


    ? Luo An��s request is not too much. Roland could have pretended to be stupid when Luo An didn��t mention these things before, but now that Luo An knows about it, he would really be a fool if he still pretends to be stupid.


    But Roland has no authority. He needs to go back to his superiors to ask and discuss how much share belongs to Roan.


    ??Watching Roland''s figure gradually disappearing in the elevator, Luo An curled his lips, closed the door of the office area and walked to the conference room again.


    Luo An has no intention of giving up the operation of arresting Salles, and finally has a chance to make extra money. The CIA seems to be bullying honest people, but as long as it is done correctly, not only will he not be bullied, but he may also be able to make extra money. If you fight back against bullying, you will get a lot of benefits from ending the case.


    In the conference room, Lacey, Michelle, Chenelle and Winslow were gathering next to Mona to check the computer. Roan asked casually:


    ��How is the investigation going?�� ��I can only say it��s an eye-opener.��


    Winslow was speechless:


    ��There is too much ��interesting�� information in the CIA��s database.��


    ��We��ll look at the ��interesting�� information later.��


    ??Luo An patted Lacey on the shoulder, pushed her away, selectively ignored Lacey''s teeth and claws, and asked:


    ��The primary goal now is to get close to Sarles. How about it? Have you found any suitable regular customers?��


    ��I sorted out three people.��


    ?Mona nodded, put the photos of the three men on the computer screen, and introduced:


    ��The first one, now in Africa, is the head of the military government of a small African country, and has done many transactions with Sarles.


    The second person is from a certain country in South America and is a big reader in a certain city in that country.


    The third person, also in South America, is the leader of the opposition party of another country''s government. He has purchased a lot of arms in Salers, mainly for fighting against government troops. "


    ��They are all ��talents��.��


    Looking at the photos and information on the computer, Luo An raised his eyebrows, and Mona tilted her head and asked:


    ��Which goal do you think is appropriate?��


    ??Luo An motioned to Mona to enlarge the photo of the second target person and said:


    ��The first head of the military junta was too difficult, and asking him for ��help�� would easily expose the news.


    The third opposition leader is very good at hiding. Even the local government troops could not find him. It was even more difficult for us to find him.


    Hence, the second candidate, Almeron Christo, the reading lord, is the most suitable, and he has the highest success rate in asking for help. "


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona nodded and continued typing on the keyboard:


    ��I will investigate and compile information about Almeron Cristo.��


    "Do not worry."


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    ��The special investigation team has not been formally established, and we still have time.��


    "I know."


    ?A few people chatted for a while, and Lacey suddenly looked around and asked:


    ��What about Roland from the CIA? Where has he gone?��


    ��He went back to the CIA to ask something.��


    Luo An smiled and replied casually, then he came close to Mona and whispered:


    ��Mona, check something out for me.��


    ��


    The process is time-consuming but cannot be avoided. In the next two days, the agents of the No. 13 Investigation Team were divided into two groups.


    ?One group is responsible for processing the follow-up documentation of the bombing, and the other group is responsible for investigating the intelligence of Almeron Crist�� and Salles.


    ??At ten o''clock in the morning on Friday, Roland walked into the office area of ??Investigation Team 13 again and entered the team leader''s office with Luo An.


    ?Luo An handed the other party a cup of coffee and said:


    "You''ve been away for a long time this time, and my request is so difficult to negotiate?"


    Roland smiled, handed the document bag in his hand to Roan, and said:


    ��My superior said that after the special investigation team arrests Sarls, they can sell the arms and weapons in Sarls�� hands to us at a price increase of one-half on the black market.��


    ��Improve it by half, are you sure?��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��If you purchase so many weapons at this price, your superiors are not afraid of losing money and not being able to sell them?��


    ��No, someone will definitely buy it.��


    Roland chuckled:


    ��For example, those MI6 guys.��


    ?Saers has a lot of weapons in his hands. If he sells them to Roland''s superiors at the original price, Roan will definitely make a huge profit.


    But Roland��s superiors were even more ruthless and obviously planned to take the opportunity to cut MI6.


    ��Tsk tsk tsk.��


    ?Luo An was speechless. As expected, the CIA would still make money.


    There is a black ID in the document bag. Open it and look at it. There is a familiar photo stuck inside, with a line of text written underneath:


    CIA secret agent, Roan Greenwood.


    Luo An: ������


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 636： Positioning device, departure, Texas

    Chapter 636 Positioning Device, Departure, Texas


    Friday, 11:30 noon, FBI Washington Headquarters, Investigation Team 13, Team Leader��s Office.


    Looking at the black certificate in his hand, Luo An''s mouth twitched, speechlessness written on his face. He looked up at Roland and asked:


    ��What do you mean?��


    Roland chuckled and explained:


    ��This is the sincerity of our CIA.


    ??In the case of Salles, Team Leader Luo An needs to lead the team out of the federation, and the FBI''s internal database may not be able to provide much help.


    ?With this certificate, Team Leader Luo An can directly log in to the CIA''s internal database to check information, which is simpler and faster. "


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Roland quietly for a few seconds, then nodded and put away the black ID.


    He already had certificates from five other departments, as good as the CIA, and he didn''t have to worry about being ordered to do tasks by the CIA. Mr. Clement and FBI Director Robert would have trouble with the CIA.


    ?Hand holding a CIA certificate also has advantages. For example, you can put on a vest and throw scapegoats at certain times.


    In addition to the CIA certificate, there is also a disc in a box in the document bag.


    "Wow."


    After the introduction, Roland handed the metal box to Luo An and said with a smile:


    ��My suggestion is that after leaving the Federation, Team Leader Luo An should equip the positioning device and swallow it.��


    Roland took a sip of coffee and replied:


    ��The CIA��s database is the same as the FBI��s database. There are internal levels. Many intelligence levels are not high enough to be viewed, and some information is even not entered into the system at all and has always been saved in the form of paper data.


    ��I have never seen a self-exploding watch, but there are indeed watch-style bombs that can be exploded by remote control.��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows, shook the metal box in his hand, and asked:


    Roland briefly introduced the metal piece and said that it was a positioning device developed by the CIA''s technology department.


    Roland shook his head and replied:


    The disc can only be viewed once, and the content will be cleared and destroyed after viewing. "


    ��Wouldn��t it be accidentally excreted during action?��


    ??If there is a signal jammer or similar equipment on site, the positioning device will also fail to send signals.


    The contents of this disc are information that we do not have enough authority to view. My boss recorded it on a disc and I gave it to you.


    ��Swallow it into your stomach?��


    ��Our CIA��s technology research and development team has considered this issue, so we have already made relevant designs.��


    ?Due to the problem of insufficient energy, the metal plate will send out a signal every 30 minutes after it is activated, and will be silent the rest of the time.


    ?Taking out a somewhat retro-style disc, Luo An asked:


    "What''s this?"


    ��About fifty percent, if it were a covert operation, it would not be taken.��


    "Inside is some information related to Sarles."


    ��This is the positioning device our CIA agents wear when they go out.��


    ��You CIA agents take it when you go out on operations?��


    Luo An raised his eyebrows, looked carefully at the retro-style disc in his hand, and asked with a smile:


    ��Your CIA��s equipment is really complete. Are the glasses, watches, etc. in the movie that will explode after completing the mission real?��


    Roland smiled, then he stood up and took out a square metal box the size of a mobile phone from his trousers pocket. When he opened it, there was a thin metal piece the size of a fingernail.


    ��Definitely not accidentally discharged.��


    ��What about the end of the operation?��


    Luo An spread his hands and asked:


    ��How to get it out?��


    After coming to the Federation for so long, this is the first time Luo An has encountered such a high-tech product. He will never trust the other party until he understands the specific situation.


    "Well��"


    After Luo An asked the question, Roland showed a somewhat unnatural expression on his face and coughed lightly as he replied:


    ��In most cases, it will be passed naturally within a month.


    ??If you are worried or anxious, you can use Smilen laxative. �� ? ? ������


    ?Hearing Roland''s answer, Luo An was speechless and put the metal box aside in disgust.


    ?Smillen purgative, a common drug in the Commonwealth, is mainly used by doctors to stimulate the intestines and treat patients with constipation.


    ??If non-constipation patients use this medicine, the effect can only be said to be a drastic improvement. Those who have weak feet and can walk out of the bathroom on their own are tough guys.


    While not discussing the metal piece, Luo An asked Mona to find a computer that could play the disc. Then Mona left and Luo An inserted the retro-style disc into it.


    The contents of the disc are photos and information of three white men, two men and one woman. Their actual identities are all senior agents of MI6.


    The CIA suspects that one of the three of them is the man behind Salls. The specific one cannot be confirmed yet, and Luo An needs to investigate by himself.


    ??While Luo An was carefully reading the information from the three people, there was a sudden knock on the door of the team leader''s office, and then Lacey reached halfway in, shook the folder in her hand, and said with a smile:


    ��Luo An, the document establishing the special investigation team has been officially released.��


    ��Good.��


    Opening the file and looking at it, Luo An grinned and said without any nonsense:


    ��In half an hour, we��ll get off work early today. Let��s go back and pack up and get ready. We��ll set off tomorrow!��


    "no problem!"


    Lacie responded loudly and immediately left the team leader''s office to announce the news.


    Five minutes later, the disc content was automatically destroyed, and Roland left the office area of ??Investigation Team 13.


    Luo An put the CIA certificates, metal pieces, special investigation team establishment documents, etc. in a row. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly opened his mouth, put them all away, and left the team leader''s office.


    ����


    The next day, at 8 a.m., Roan took Mona, Lacey, Winslow, Chenelle, Michelle, and the temporary CIA agent Roland on a plane from Washington, D.C., to the southernmost part of the federal government. One of the states, Texas.


    ?The plane was very fast, and everyone arrived in Texas four hours later.


    Everyone didn��t have much luggage. Apart from personal clothing and guns and ammunition to protect themselves, they didn��t take many other items.


    "Wow."


    ??Stepping out of the airport, she saw people walking on the street, with weapons such as pistols or rifles on their waists and behind their backs. There was even a scene of a group of people carrying long guns partying to buy burgers not far away. Mona��s eyelids trembled:


    ��I feel like I��m in the 19th century West.��


    ��That��s why Texas has a lower crime rate than many states in the union.��


    ??Lacie chuckled, pointed to the police patrolling not far away, patted Mona on the shoulder and said:


    ��In Texas, if you��re going to rob you, it��s not necessarily the police who knock you down. It��s more likely to be a grumpy guy who happens to be passing by with a rifle slung behind his back.��


    The ownership rate of private firearms in Texas is about 600,000, which is more firepower than many small countries on the planet.


    ? And 600,000 are only the number of registered and legal guns. There are no statistics on illegal guns. No one knows how many there are.


    Temporarily renting an eight-seater MPV, the group drove to the hotel they had booked in advance. At seven o''clock in the evening, Luo An took a group of agents from the 13th Investigation Team to the hotel''s cafeteria for dinner. Roland had a few I was eating steak and asked casually:


    ��The nearest border checkpoint is less than forty kilometers away. When do we leave the Commonwealth?��


    "tonight."


    After dinner, we went back to our room to rest, and drove out of the hotel at eleven o''clock in the evening. In the dark night, Winslow drove everyone southward.


    ?The further south you go, the more desolate the scenery becomes on both sides of the road. Under the illumination of car headlights, there is only yellow-brown soil and short yellow grass on both sides of the road, and nothing else.


    ?The wind outside the car was a bit impatient, but inside the car it was very quiet. Except for Winslow who was driving, the rest of the people closed their eyes to recuperate and recharge, and no one spoke.


    After a long silence, Luo An suddenly asked:


    ��Winslow, how far is it to the border checkpoint?��


    ��There are still about ten kilometers.��


    ��OK, stop the car.��


    After hearing this order, Roland, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes in confusion. Then he saw Luo An holding a black hood used by kidnappers to cover the victim''s head, and grinned at him. stand up.


    Roland: "??!"

 Chapter 637： Reverse stowaway, positioning, and war

    Chapter 637 Reverse Smuggling, Positioning, and War


    ��No, wait a minute!��


    ??Seeing Luo An holding the hood and smiling at him, Roland''s hair stood up instantly and he hurriedly shouted:


    ��I don��t seem to have done anything against the orders of Team Leader Luo An!��


    "Yeah?"


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��Have you taken that positioning metal tablet today?��


    "No!"


    Roland quickly shook his head. Roan, whose "emotional perception" confirmed that the other party was lying, was too lazy to talk nonsense. He threw the hood directly to Cheniel and Lacey, waved his hand and said:


    ��Put him on!��


    "I��"


    ?The plan was not complicated. Luo An did not plan to leave the federal border checkpoint openly, because that would leave clear traces, so he planned to take people out smuggled out.


    ??Two white men opened their satchels and looked at them to make sure the amount of money was correct. They nodded and patted the compartment behind the pickup truck. Luo An also waved to Mona behind, beckoning everyone to get in the car.


    ��Seven people, $35,000.��


    ??Mona shook the phone in her hand and said:


    ��The other party will be here soon, it will take five minutes.��


    Roland��s mouth twitched and he didn��t know what to say. Roan didn��t bother to explain too much to him. He turned around and walked away with Mona and asked:


    ??Mona suddenly realized and stopped asking. Five minutes later, a tattered pickup truck slowly stopped not far away. Roan took a satchel from Mona and walked over.


    ��OK.��


    For simple smuggling, the other party only needs US$1,000 per person, but with fake identities, the price becomes US$5,000 per person.


    For this reason, Luo An previously contacted Mona''s father, Javari Evans, and asked him to help find a smuggler friend in this business. The smuggler friend would take the agents of Investigation Team 13 out of the federation and help them. Prepare a false identity.


    Luo An didn��t waste any time. He threw the bag directly to the other party and said expressionlessly:


    ����


    After the agents got off work early yesterday at noon, Luo An quietly called everyone together in the evening and briefly introduced his plan for this operation.


    ?The door of the pickup truck opened, and two middle-aged white men with unshaven beards and a faint smell of odor got out.


    Roland, whose eyes were darkened, was about to speak when Luo An stepped out of the car first, took out a signal jammer and a rope and began to tie Roland to his body. He explained calmly:


    ��Don��t worry, I don��t intend to do anything to you, but what happens next is not suitable for you to see, so you need to cover your eyes.


    "How is it going?"


    Roan nodded and looked at the darkness in the distance silently. Mona looked at Roland who was chatting with Lacey not far away and asked in a low voice:


    ?Seeing Mona''s confused face, Luo An pondered for a moment and briefly explained the procedural regulations that require the participation of CIA agents when the FBI conducts overseas operations. Finally, he concluded:


    ��Roland is not important, but we need his identity.��


    In addition, we are not leaving from the border checkpoint this time, and the specific method is kept secret. The positioning device in your body is a problem, so I tied the signal jammer to you, do you understand? "


    ??Although Luo An also obtained the credentials of a CIA agent, he was still an FBI agent and could not submit reports in the name of the CIA.


    ��Why don��t we just dump that guy?��


    ??The reason why Roland was given a hood was to prevent him from seeing clearly the route he and others took to smuggle in. The reason why he **** the jammer was because he did not want his route and plans to be discovered by the CIA.


    ?The pickup truck looked shabby but had strong power. It pulled seven people forward at a speed that was not slow at all, and soon arrived in a very open area.


    ?Two middle-aged white men got out of the car, looked around, and then pulled out a wooden board from a piece of dust that looked the same not far away. Under the wooden board was a tunnel as high as one person.


    There are many such tunnels on the federal-Mexico border. No one knows the exact number. Most of them are used by criminal groups to smuggle flour or human trafficking.


    Following a white man walking in the tunnel, they walked for more than an hour before reaching the end. They climbed up the ladder and left the tunnel. At this time, everyone had appeared in a certain area in Mexico. It was still a few steps away from the nearest city. It''s about a thirty minute walk.


    ?Throwing the fake ID to Luo An, the white man entered the tunnel again and left. Looking at the faintly flashing lights in the distance, Lacey raised her eyebrows:


    "Others are smuggling from Mexico to the Federation. I didn''t expect that I would one day sneak from the Federation to Mexico." "I really didn''t expect it."


    Winslow also smiled and dusted himself off:


    ��This is really my first experience of reverse smuggling.��


    ?Chenelle tightened the signal jammer on Roland''s body, then turned her eyes to the fake ID in Roan''s hand and asked:


    "What should we do next? Mexico is in North America, and our target Almeron Crist�� is in South America. There is still a long way to go."


    ��This journey is easy, Franklin will help us.��


    Roan answered Cheniel��s question casually, then put the fake ID into the backpack in Mona��s hand and whispered:


    ��Go back and look for opportunities to burn them all.��


    Purchasing these fake documents was still a deliberately misleading clue left by Luo An. He had no intention of using these purchased identities to act.


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona nodded, and Luo An didn''t talk nonsense. He pointed at the city with faintly flashing lights in the distance and waved his hand:


    "Set off!"


    ??Whether it is North America or South America, the federal dollar is the hard currency. Luo An and many people did not know each other when they met, but the moment they met Franklin and the pistol, the two parties became friends.


    ? After arriving in Brazil, South America, Luo An and others easily checked into a hotel in Rio de Janeiro using their new false identities.


    ?In a certain suite, Winslow and Roland were sitting at the coffee table playing cards. At this time, Roland no longer had the signal jammer on his body, and the positioning metal pieces in his body had been removed.


    The treatment process is relatively simple. Anyway, during that time, Roland��s thighs were shaking and his face turned pale.


    On the other side of the suite is a restaurant. At the long dining table in the center of the restaurant, Mona and Michelle each sit in front of a laptop, typing on the keyboard to investigate information.


    ��How about we change the target.��


    A moment passed, Mona looked at Luo An with a speechless face and said:


    ��Almeron Christo, a great reader, is very cautious and brings a large number of followers with him wherever he goes.


    Even if he was doing exercise with a woman, he would always keep four or five people outside the room to observe the situation.


    ?It is too difficult to "persuade" this kind of person to contact Salls for us, and we have no way to contact him. "


    ��Lacie and Chenelle went out for field investigation and may find some useful information.��


    ?Luo An smiled, picked up the coffee pot and poured a cup of coffee for Mona, and asked with a smile:


    ��You just mentioned that Almeron Cristo has a woman, can you start with his woman?��


    "I''m afraid not."


    ?Mona did not speak, and Michelle next to her replied:


    ��Almeron Christo has four women in total, and he has at least five bodyguards around each woman. They are called bodyguards, but they actually look more like monitors.


    ??Almeron Cristoda once had a woman. One time, an enemy wanted to kidnap the woman to force Almeron Cristoda.


    ??As a result, Almeron Cristo directly asked his men to shoot. Not only did the woman and the enemy be shot to death indiscriminately, but the villa was also blown up. "


    ?Luo An��s brows moved, and Mona was speechless:


    ��This guy is a madman!��


    ��It��s okay, there are always more methods than difficulties, so don��t worry.��


    Roan patted Mona and Michelle on the shoulders. At this moment, Lacey and Chenelle suddenly opened the door and walked into the room, saying excitedly:


    ��Luo An, we found out something!��


    Everyone in the room was attracted by Lacey and the two, and Luo An asked:


    "What?"


    ��We found out before that Almeron recently bought a large amount of weapons and ammunition in Salls.��


    ? Chenier didn��t sell it and quickly explained:


    ��The reason why he bought this batch of ammunition was because someone was preparing to go to war with him to steal his business!


    ??This guy who plans to start a war also bought his weapons and ammunition from Salls! That guy also knows Salls! "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 638： clues, ready for action

    Chapter 638 Clues, prepare for action


    ?South America, 12 noon, a suite in a hotel in Rio de Janeiro.


    ��Are there any new buyers?��


    After Chenier finished speaking, Winslow asked in surprise:


    ��What��s that guy��s name?��


    ��He is a local here. His name is too long for me to remember.��


    Chenelle shook her head and said:


    ��But he has Leonardo in his name, so we can just call him that.��


    Due to historical reasons, Brazilians use Portuguese more. When choosing names, personal identity, cultural background, social status, etc. must also be considered. Therefore, some people have long and complicated names. After Chenier finished speaking, the agents did not continue. After asking, everyone silently wrote down the name.


    ??Lacie added on the side that Leonardo has a nickname in the underground world of Rio de Janeiro called "Challenger".


    The reason is naturally that Almeron, the big drug lord, is the "flour king" of Rio de Janeiro, and Leonardo is the one who wants to overthrow him and occupy the throne.


    ?Winslow lived up to Luo An''s expectations and successfully bought the things back in no time.


    ??Of course I want to investigate Mr. Leonardo and see if I can ask him for "help." "


    ? We try to find out the whereabouts of Leonardo the "Challenger" or the places he likes to visit. "


    So after arriving in Rio de Janeiro, the first thing Luan did was to throw a few stacks of dollars to Winslow and ask him to find a way to buy weapons and equipment.


    ?Winslow is as strong as an ox and has strong physical skills. He is very intimidating when he pulls his face down. He is not much different from those terrorists.


    Lacie and Chenelle took some dollars from Roan and left the room again. Mona and Michelle started typing on the keyboard. Roan turned to Winslow and asked:


    ��Franklin opens the way, and everything goes smoothly.��


    ??In addition, Winslow had experience in similar operations before working in the hostage rescue team and knew how to find people, so it was most suitable for him to entrust this kind of task to him.


    Winslow grinned, raised his hand and waved an "OK" gesture to Luo An, and said:


    ��Body armor, rifles, pistols, bullets, etc., have all been bought back. They are all high-end goods, absolutely no problem.��


    ��Good.��


    Everyone knew who the world''s largest arms dealer was. The agents ignored him. Mona turned her attention to Luo An and asked:


    ��How are you doing here?��


    "no problem!"


    Lacie casually picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip, wiped her mouth and said with a smile:


    ��Saers is a talented person. She sells weapons and ammunition to Almeron the Great Reader, and she also sells them to Leonardo the Challenger. This woman makes money from both ends.��


    ? There is a study room at the deepest part of the suite, which Winslow used as a place to store weapons.


    Luo An smiled, thought for a moment, and said:


    ��Mona, Michelle, you use computers to investigate, Lacey, Chenelle, you continue offline field investigation.


    ��What do we do next?��


    ��OK!��


    ��This is a qualified underground arms dealer.��


    The CIA agent Roland next to him looked a little pale, smiled and said:


    ��How can arms dealers make money without war?��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, because the circumstances of this operation were special. When the agents of the 13th Investigation Team left the federation, they only brought basic pistols and other weapons, without any heavy weapons.


    ��MP5-9mm submachine gun, Colt M1911 pistol, HUGGE body armor����


    ?Picked up an AK47, Luo An looked at the weapons and equipment on the table and his mouth twitched, and he looked at Winslow speechlessly:


    ��If it weren��t for this AK, I would have suspected that you got it from the federal SEALs.��


    ?Those submachine guns, pistols and body armor are all the standard equipment of the federal SEALs, but they are a little older.


    Winslow chuckled, picked up a submachine gun and loaded it with a few clicks, grinning and saying:


    ��It looks like they are a bit old, but I checked and found that they have never been used, and their safety and reliability are fine.


    As for their origin, you know that the federal military has "accidental damage" to weapons and equipment worth millions every year.


    ?This is South America, and you gave me so many Franklins. It is not difficult to buy such a little. "


    After carefully checking for a moment and confirming that the weapons and equipment were all in order, Luo An and Winslow left the room together. At nine o''clock in the evening, we called the waiter to bring dinner. While everyone was eating to fill their stomachs, they reported and sorted out the investigation.


    ��Let me talk first.��


    ??Mona swallowed a big mouthful of steak and introduced:


    ��Michelle and I found out from the police system in Rio de Janeiro that Leonardo��s parents, wife, and daughter were all dead, and he had no relatives. He was the only one who was still alive in the world, without a single weakness.


    ?His territory is in the southeast of the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is mainly a slum. It is his goods distribution center. Some of his men live there, while he himself lives in an ordinary community not far from the slum. "


    ��That��s right.��


    Lacie nodded, she finished her portion of fried chicken buns in three or two bites, and then introduced:


    ��Chenelle and I also found out that Leonardo will leave Rio de Janeiro early tomorrow morning and head to a certain area in the west to check the cultivation and processing of green plants this season.��


    Everyone knows exactly what the green plant Lacey mentioned is, and no one intends to ask in detail.


    Luo An noticed something, frowned slightly, and asked:


    ��This kind of information should be very hidden. How did you find out?��


    ��Franklin, of course.��


    ?Lacie wiped her mouth and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and replied:


    ��This news was purchased by Chenelle and I for $5,000.��


    "sharp."


    Mona gave Lacey and Chenelle a thumbs up, and then asked:


    ��This is a rare opportunity, Luo An, should we take action early tomorrow morning?��


    ����


    After a long silence, Luo An suddenly moved his eyes slightly, raised his head and said:


    ��Michelle, show me a photo of the traffic roads in Rio de Janeiro.��


    ? Michelle quickly got up and went to get the computer. She typed on the keyboard a few times to bring up a photo of a city road. Chenelle turned sideways and pointed at the photo and said:


    ��We haven��t found the specific route, but if we want to leave the city from the west, there are only two easy-to-drive cement roads, and the rest are dirt roads with potholes.


    ?There is a crossroads next to an abandoned park. Both roads pass here. We can set up an ambush in this park. "


    "very good."


    After looking at the map and pondering for a few seconds, Luo An immediately stood up and said seriously without any nonsense:


    ��Everyone, take the time to eat, and then rest for a while to recharge your batteries. We will set off at 12:30 in the morning!��


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    ?The time quickly reached midnight and 12:30 in the morning. All the agents walked into the deepest room of the suite to get their equipment, and then went downstairs to the parking lot.


    Roan, Lacey and Roland drove the first car in front, followed closely by Mona, Chenelle, Winslow and Michelle in the second car. The group quickly headed to Rio de Janeiro. west side of the city.


    ?At this time in 2006, the level of infrastructure in the city of Rio de Janeiro could only be said to be average. Cement roads did not yet have the same coverage as in later generations, and many places were still dominated by dirt roads.


    ?The two cars quickly arrived at the target area. Just as Winslow was about to drive to the abandoned amusement park in the distance, Luo An suddenly pressed the communicator and ordered:


    ��Stop moving forward, move the car to the side and hide it.��


    Winslow was a little confused, but he immediately followed the order and started to turn the car around. Lacey in the back seat of Roan''s car asked:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��Don��t worry, let��s wait for a while.��


    Luo An also slowly drove the car to the side of the road, turned off all the lights and hid it. Both cars disappeared into the dark night. Luo An pressed the communicator to open the public channel and asked:


    ��Leonardo is leaving Rio de Janeiro early this morning. Do you guys feel that something is wrong?��


    Winslow and others in the second car immediately concentrated on thinking. Lacey frowned slightly:


    ��We bought this news with money. Do you mean that the news is false and we were deceived?��


    ?Luo An shook his head, and just as he was about to explain, fierce gunshots suddenly rang out under the originally silent night sky in the distance!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 639： The events behind the incident, the target person

    Chapter 639: The events behind the incident, the target person


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    The fierce sound of gunfire instantly shattered the originally silent night sky, and the flashes of fire were also very noticeable in the dark background.


    ��Shit!��


    "damn it!"


    ??Everyone in the two cars had just focused their attention, waiting attentively for Luo An''s words in the communicator. The sudden gunfire suddenly startled them. They subconsciously cursed and at the same time, they all instantly raised their weapons and got ready for battle.


    ��Don��t panic! Calm down!��


    ??Luo An was also attracted by the sound of gunfire. After reacting, he immediately stretched out his hand to hold down Lacey''s pistol. At the same time, he pressed the communicator and ordered loudly:


    ��Don��t move! These gunshots have nothing to do with us!��


    ??Everyone in the two cars immediately relaxed a little after hearing this. Roland''s eyes flashed and he thought of something, and asked urgently:


    ��Is this a trap?!��


    ?At the same time, Cheniel''s voice also sounded on the communicator, and she also thought of this.


    Winslow, Michelle and Mona in the second car nodded repeatedly. Lacey��s eyes lit up and she was about to speak. Roan shook his head and said:


    ��So, the news I paid for is actually a bait deliberately put out by Leonardo!��


    Putting the magazine into the pocket next to the body armor, Roland looked at Luo An with admiration and said with a smile:


    Roland was a little surprised when he heard this and looked at Roan with suspicion:


    ��If I were Almeron, even if I knew it was Leonardo��s bait, I would try to send people out to ambush and attack.


    Snapped-


    ��Is this bait?!��


    ??If he was not careful and information such as his whereabouts could be easily bought by outsiders with money, he would have been thrown into cement by the enemy to make a bridge. "


    It doesn��t matter if you fail. Anyway, you have plenty of men. If you die, you will die. There is no shortage of these people. "


    "No, Almeron will not "try to send people over", he will definitely send elite men to ambush here."


    Lacie frowned slightly, and then analyzed:


    ��Since Leonardo��s release of the news that he was preparing to leave Rio de Janeiro was a bait, with the purpose of inducing Almeron, would Almeron be fooled? It��s impossible for him not to see it.��


    Succeeded, and Leonardo, the "Challenger" who was suffering from a serious illness, died smoothly.


    ��It was a guess before, but now it��s certain.��


    ?Looking at the flickering orange-red fire in the distance, Luo An saw that Lacey still looked confused, so he explained while arranging his weapons:


    ��I have been thinking before that Leonardo, as a ��challenger�� who has the ability to challenge Almeron, the ��underground emperor��, cannot be a brainless guy.


    ��That��s right.��


    "What?"


    The bullet was loaded with a "click", and Luo An continued to explain:


    ��Not long after we arrived in the city of Rio de Janeiro, we found out that Leonardo planned to challenge Almeron and **** his ��throne��.


    Roland nodded repeatedly with a serious face, and Lacey suddenly said:


    ?Then Almeron must also know the news, otherwise he would have been kicked off the "throne" long ago. "


    ??Lacie also turned her attention to Luo An, and she didn''t understand what Luo An meant by the next sentence.


    ��Because Leonardo ��acted very realistically��.


    ??Luo An smiled, pointed at the abandoned amusement park in the distance where gunshots were crackling, and said:


    ��Almeron has been in this city for many years, and it��s not easy to deceive him. You can��t just find a substitute or just find a subordinate to pretend to be yourself.


    ?The best way is to go out in person, really drive west, and let Almeron''s informants or men see it. Only in this way can the scene be real enough. And it is impossible for Almeron, the master of this kingdom, not to see that this is a play played by Leonardo for himself, but he will still send someone out to play it with Leonardo.


    The reason is similar to what Roland said just now. Almeron really wants to kill Leonardo.


    The difference is that Almeron can be sure that Leonardo is really here, and he will definitely use his plan to send elites to kill Leonardo tonight. "


    To put it simply, tonight is a rivalry between two actors who work in perfect harmony:


    Leonardo used himself as bait to lure Almeron to send someone to kill him;


    ?Almeron knew this was a bait, but still chose to use the trick to send out elites;


    Leonardo knew that the opponent would most likely send elites, so he made preparations in advance, as evidenced by the sound of firefights that continued for a long time in the distance.


    After listening to Luo An''s description, everyone felt a little headache. This situation where you are on the first floor, I am on the second floor, but both parties are actually on the third or even fourth floor is really tiring.


    ?Mona was silent for a few seconds and asked in confusion:


    "Why did Leonardo do this? He used himself as bait to trick Almeron into sending elites to kill him. Apart from putting himself into a life-and-death crisis, he seemed to get no benefits?"


    ��What if Leonardo has other men, who are going to raid and assassinate Almeron now?��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and analyzed:


    ��With all the elites coming out, there may not be many guards left around Almeron. As long as another wave of men successfully assassinates Almeron and kills him, then the city will belong to Leonardo tomorrow.


    ?Of course, Almeron may have seen this, so he set up an ambush around him, waiting for Leonardo''s men to fall into the trap..."


    ������x6


    ?After listening to the internal analysis of these intrigues, Winslow, Mona, Lacey, and Roland were all confused and didn''t know what to say.


    At this time, Michelle, who had been silent and was always paying attention to the battlefield in the distance, asked aloud:


    ��Then what do we do next? Wait for the battle to end?��


    ��That��s right, by saying so much, I��m just waiting for the people inside to decide the winner.��


    ??Took out four grenades and stuffed them into the side pockets of the body armor. Luo An grinned and ordered loudly:


    "Everyone, group up according to vehicles! Winslow, you take Chenelle, Mona and Michelle together and act from the left! Lacey, Roland, and I enter from the right to capture the target person, Lun. Nadeau.


    Remember, act fast! Whether it''s Leonardo or Almeron, both sides may be preparing for backup, and we must move in and out quickly! "


    ��Understood!�� x6


    ?The agents immediately opened the car door and ran out of the car. As a group, they quickly and covertly moved in the opposite direction of the abandoned amusement park.


    As he was walking, he found Roland running behind him and Lacey. Roan frowned, brought him to him, and whispered:


    ��You are the CIA and have more experience than us. You open the way and we will follow you.��


    ?Roland: ������


    Inside the abandoned amusement park, in a half-collapsed haunted house, Leonardo, who had a short head, deep eye sockets, a few drops of blood on his face, and a dusty coat, was holding a rifle and taking a deep breath. He patted the brown coat next to him. His subordinates asked:


    ��How��s the action going on the other side?��


    ��I don��t know, boss.��


    The man in the brown coat didn��t look very good:


    ��I called the guy in charge of sentry observation over there, but no one answered.��


    ��#%*����


    boom! boom! boom!


    Hands up his gun to kill an enemy who is holding an AK and is about to shoot. Lacey carefully observes the surroundings and frowns:


    ��Where is the target person?��


    "follow me!"


    Roan, who turned on "emotional perception", clearly sensed the two figures coming together and immediately led Lacey and Roland in the direction of the haunted house.


    At this moment, the communicator in his ear suddenly rang, and Winslow said urgently:


    ��Everyone, be careful! A new enemy has appeared! If we are the third party, this wave of people seems to be the fourth party!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 640： Successful robbery, leaving Rio de Janeiro

    Chapter 640 Successful robbery, leaving Rio de Janeiro


    ��Fourth Party?!��


    ??In the abandoned amusement park, Lacey, who heard Winslow''s words on the communicator and advanced cautiously with a submachine gun, frowned:


    ��What��s going on tonight? Who is this person from?��


    ��It may be one of Leonardo��s enemies who wants to take advantage of the situation, or it may be someone from Almeron��s side.��


    Luo An said casually, and while walking quickly towards the haunted house, he ordered:


    ��Winslow, move towards us quickly, be careful not to get hurt!��


    "clear!"


    ??The communicator hung up, Roland shot an enemy with a gun to death, followed closely behind Luo An, frowning:


    ��Team leader, are we in the wrong place? The target person doesn��t seem to be����


    ��Get down!��


    ?Hearing Leonardo''s order, the two men quickly turned their guns and prepared to attack. Leonardo himself also raised his rifle to aim at Luo An and pull the trigger.


    ��Shoot! Shoot quickly!��


    Behind the wall is a very messy small room, which should have been the rest room of the haunted house staff. Because of the grenades, Leonardo and the four men he had just gathered all lowered their heads and were on guard.


    ��You guys who are arrogant...��


    Roan turned his attention to Roland and found that this guy reacted quickly and hid directly behind a three-sided obstacle next to him. He was the safest place for the three people present.


    Leonardo and his two men were startled. They had no idea why Luo An, who was on the opposite side just now, suddenly ran here. But the reason was no longer important. The top priority was to shoot and kill the enemy quickly.


    ?Bang bang bang bang bang��


    ?The next second, Luo An used "emotional perception" to locate the enemy in the haunted house, took out two grenades from his pocket and threw them.


    Bang!


    ?? He raised his knees to resist Leonardo''s move of annihilating his descendants. Luo An was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly hit Leonardo''s chin with an uppercut.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    boom! boom!


    The next second, the two men standing on the left felt a black shadow suddenly appear beside them. Before they could react, gunshots suddenly rang out. The watermelons of the two men instantly shattered and their bodies went limp, ready to fall to the ground.


    ?Leonardo and his two men quickly bent down to avoid the corpse. At the same time, Lacey and Roland also ran to the other side, aimed their guns at the two men and pulled the trigger.


    There was a hint of speechlessness in his eyes, but this was not the time to talk nonsense. Luo An waved his hands and silently made a few gestures, indicating that he would break through from the left, while Lacey and Roland surrounded him from the right. They both understood and nodded. .


    ��Fu-k!��


    Roland and Lacey, who were hiding behind the corner, ran out to the right at the same time. He was shocked when he saw the speed of Luo An''s movements from the corner of his eye. He felt as if Luo An''s figure disappeared from his eyes in a flash.


    ??A series of bullets were all fired. Leonardo raised his knee and hit Luo An''s crotch hard, and cursed fiercely:


    Boom!


    Boom!


    ??The grenade exploded deafeningly, and the sound of the opponent''s shooting stopped for an instant. Luo An took this opportunity to step on the ground and jumped forward, leaping over the half-collapsed wall with a single swoop.


    Bang!


    Before the three of them could shoot, after Luo An killed two of his men, he took advantage of the moment when their bodies had not fallen to the ground and kicked them. The corpses instantly hit Leonardo three times with terrifying force. The man flew over.


    ??Lacie reacted very quickly. After hearing Luo An''s order, she immediately rolled around on the ground and hid behind the nearby bunker, lowering her head tightly to protect herself.


    boom! boom!


    boom! boom!


    Four gunshots were fired, and the two men could no longer straighten their bent waists and fell directly to the ground. Leonardo was about to fire back when Luo An instantly moved to his side, grabbed the rifle in his hand and forced it He raised the muzzle of the gun.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Before Roland finished speaking, Roan suddenly shouted and got down, and then a burst of bullets suddenly shot towards them from the direction of the haunted house!


    "damn it!"


    ??A sharp pain came through, and Leonardo instantly rolled his eyes and fainted due to his body''s protective mechanism.


    Snapped-


    ?Throwing the fainted Leonardo to Roland, Roan ordered:


    ��Get ready to retreat! Lacey, you cover Roland!��


    "clear!"


    Roland and Lacey were immediately ready to leave. Roan pressed the communicator and asked:


    "Winslow, how''s it going over there?" "We''re fine."


    Winslow stated that the four of them briefly exchanged fire with the newly emerged enemy, but were not injured and were heading towards Roan.


    ��Good, the target person has been captured, retreat according to the planned route!��


    "clear!"


    ??The communicator hung up, and Luo An immediately led Lacey and Roland to evacuate in the original direction, killed several enemies and ran back to the car smoothly.


    After waiting for a moment, Mona and Michelle returned first. Luo An frowned when he saw this:


    ��Where are Winslow and Chenelle?��


    ??Mona quickly replied:


    ��They found something and will be there soon.��


    Not long after the children got into the car, Winslow and Chenelle finally returned. It was not the right time to talk nonsense at this time, so Luo An immediately started the car and rushed into the distance.


    ��The guy who means raising a child!��


    ��Damn it!��


    ��Who are these people? Where did they come from?��


    ??Watching the two cars speeding away from here, a group of guys with rifles and black hoods started yelling and looking for cars to give chase.


    Not far away, on the roof of an abandoned building, a bearded man held a night vision telescope and watched two cars leaving quickly. He frowned, took out his mobile phone and said:


    ��Boss, there was an accident, a new person came in, and they took Leonardo away. We don��t know who the other person is yet.��


    ��Then look for it.��


    ??An old, but serious and very oppressive male voice sounded on the phone:


    ��If you want to see someone alive or dead or see a corpse, you must find Leonardo!��


    ��Okay, boss.��


    The bearded man hung up the phone, put away his cell phone and night vision binoculars, turned around and walked in the other direction.


    ?At the same time, in the second car that was speeding, Winslow was driving, and Chenelle in the passenger seat turned on the communicator and explained:


    ��Winslow and I just took advantage of the chaos to check out the newly appeared fourth-party characters, and they all have a tattoo that looks like a tooth.


    ??This kind of tattoo is the mark of one of Leonardo''s subordinates. "


    The words were a bit convoluted, but Luo An understood what Chenelle meant:


    ��You��re saying that one of Leonardo��s men betrayed him, right?��


    ��It��s most likely so.��


    Chenelle nodded and replied:


    ��After all, the newly emerged fourth party does not look like it is ready to rescue Leonardo.��


    ��Is this Almeron��s back-up preparation?��


    Lacie thought for a moment and suddenly said:


    ��Almeron guessed Leonardo��s plan and bribed one of Leonardo��s men in advance, preparing for his men to take the opportunity to kill Leonardo tonight.��


    ��No one in this group of people is simple.��


    Luo An smiled. People who can get ahead in the underground world definitely have extraordinary minds.


    ?Mona looked at the rapidly reversing scenery outside the car window and asked:


    ��Where are we going next? Leonardo is taken away by us. Not only Leonardo��s men will be looking for him frantically, but his rival Almeron will definitely send people to search for him.


    ??These two people have spies all over the city of Rio de Janeiro. I''m afraid it will be difficult for us to hide. "


    ��You are right, Rio de Janeiro can no longer stay in this city.��


    The two cars moved forward quickly. Mona and Michelle were surprised to find a small airport not far away, with several small planes parked inside. Luo An added with a smile:


    ��Our next stop, Brasilia!��

 Chapter 641： The villain leader Luo An wants to make progress too much

    Chapter 641: The villain leader Luo An wants to make progress too much


    ?Leonardo felt like he was having a dream.


    In the dream, he used himself as bait to induce the old guy Almeron to send the elite around him to kill him. He sent another wave of people to attack Almeron who lacked protection around him.


    ?But these people are also just a cover, and their real killer move is actually the undercover killer who is ambushing Almeron.


    ??As long as the raiders take action, the undercover killer will take this opportunity to attack Almeron and kill him in the chaos...


    ��Good morning, Mr. Leonardo.��


    ?Just as Leonardo was thinking wildly with his eyes closed, a male voice suddenly sounded in his ears.


    ??The messy and diffuse thoughts were finally unified. Leonardo suddenly woke up. His body muscles moved and he subconsciously prepared to resist, and then... fell to the ground.


    ?His vision gradually became clearer, and Leonardo realized that he was tied to a wooden chair because he had jumped just now and was now lying on the ground.


    ��Don��t get excited, Mr. Leonardo.��


    Luo An smiled, helped Leonardo up with the chair, and said:


    ?Seeing the expression on Leonardo''s face, Luo An quickly guessed what he was thinking, and straightened up speechlessly. Luo An stretched out his hand behind him, and Michelle immediately handed over a laptop.


    ? Luo An showed the laptop screen to Leonardo and said with a smile:


    ��Mr. Leonardo, I said we have no ill intentions. On the contrary, you should thank us.��


    Leonardo��s face suddenly became very ugly. Luo An calmly introduced the situation last night and said:


    ��If we hadn��t intervened, you would have died at the hands of that rebellious man last night.


    ?? Leonardo recognized Luo An and others as dragons who just made a profit and ran away. This kind of thing has always happened at home and abroad. Leonardo had heard about it from other colleagues before, but this was the first time he encountered it.


    ��We mean no harm.��


    Roan grinned. Talking to smart people is easy. He pointed at Roland not far away and said with a smile:


    ����


    ?Roland: ������


    ?Luo An smiled, returned the laptop to Michelle, and said:


    So, who are you? What do you want me to do? "


    Roland spread his hands, there was nothing he could do about this.


    ��What do you want? Just tell me, money? Flour? Weapons?


    As long as you let me go, we can talk about these things. "


    Leonardo''s face was gloomy and he pondered for a few seconds. He looked up at Luo An and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��Since you rescued me, it means you don��t want me to die.


    Looking at the man in front of him with a pistol in his hand and a grenade on his waist, and the men and women standing behind him wearing body armor and holding submachine guns in their hands, staring at him, Leonardo suddenly felt a strong sense of security. Malice rushed towards his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched:


    ������x5


    ?Hearing Leonardo''s words, Mona, Lacey, Winslow, Chenelle and Michelle all looked at Roland speechlessly: CIA is so famous, even Leonardo knows your work habits.


    ��CIA.��


    ??Almeron was not dead either. Not only was he alive and well, he also sent people to work with the rebellious men to kill the members of the organization who were loyal to Leonardo.


    Why do you mean me?


    Hearing the word CIA, Leonardo subconsciously thought that people like Luo An were CIA. His face suddenly changed and he guessed:


    ��Almeron has offended you, and you want to bring him down?��


    ??What was playing on the computer was today''s news from Rio de Janeiro. The reporter didn''t say much in the news, and the content was only general, but Leonardo could see the inside story at a glance:


    One of his men rebelled and started attacking other men, and the whole organization was in chaos.


    Obviously, Almeron saw through all your plans. He took advantage of it and was the real winner. "


    ��No, we want to ask you to do us a favor and contact Salls for us.��


    ��Saers?��


    Leonardo was stunned for a moment and thought for several seconds before reacting:


    ��You mean the woman who sells arms?��


    ��That��s right.��


    "Why?"


    ��You don��t need to know why.�� ????����


    ??Looking at Luo An and Leonardo who were asking and answering questions in the room, Lacey next to her had a strange expression on her face. She leaned close to Mona and whispered:


    ��Why do I feel like I��m watching a movie? But we are the villains, and Luo An is the villain leader.��


    Michelle next to her nodded and whispered:


    ��Still very stupid, the kind who tells all his plans and is easily defeated by the protagonist in the end.��


    ?Mona and Chenelle rolled their eyes speechlessly.


    On the chair, Leonardo pondered for a moment, nodded, and said:


    ��Yes, but I have a condition.��


    Luo An chuckled:


    ��Your life was saved by us, and you still want to impose conditions?��


    "I know, but I can give you a reward for saving me, one yard for one yard."


    Leonardo said very quickly:


    "The conditions are very simple. Almeron is old and his empire has reached its twilight. Your CIA will provide me with help. When I replace him, all subsequent benefits will be in accordance with the rules!"


    Having worked hard in the underground world for so many years, Leonardo is very aware of the CIA''s position in the two Americas. In the past, he had no chance or ability to contact this big partner. Now that a big one comes to his door, Leonardo naturally has to hold on tightly.


    As for whether the identities of Luo An and others were false, Leonardo did not have much doubt.


    On the one hand, for so many years, only the CIA has pretended to be someone else, and not many people would take the initiative to pretend to be the CIA.


    On the other hand, the behavior and speech style of Luo An and others this time are full of CIA flavor. Leonardo is sure that he is definitely not wrong.


    ����


    ?Seeing Leonardo''s eyes getting brighter and brighter, Luo An''s eyelids twitched and he vaguely guessed his thoughts, shook his head and said:


    ��Our target is not Almeron, this is impossible.��


    ?Seeing Roan''s refusal, Leonardo became more and more anxious. Seeing Roland yawning beside him, he suddenly thought of something and whispered:


    ��I have an account with five million dollars in it. How about I tell you the password separately?��


    Leonardo knows very well what the CIA likes most. Luo An shook his head and refused just now. It was obvious that he did not mention the key point!


    The CIA is the CIA, and he is himself. Leonardo understood the meaning of this sentence very well, so his meaning was very simple. In addition to sharing the interests of the CIA, he secretly gave Luo An a private five million US dollars.


    Luo An was speechless after understanding the meaning of this sentence. He was just about to refuse when his eyes suddenly thought of something, so he changed the subject and said with a smile:


    ��Leonardo, it seems like you want to make progress and move forward.��


    ?Leonardo��s eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. He wanted to make progress so much.


    ??Luo An smiled, helped Leonardo untie the rope, and said:


    ��Call Salers first and find a way to arrange an appointment with her to Paris. The rest will be simple.��


    "no problem!"


    ?Leonardo also had a smile on his face. As expected, he still had to find the key points before doing anything.


    ?Hand Leonardo to Winslow and Chenelle, and let them watch Leonardo make the phone call, Luo An pulled Roland to the side and asked in a low voice:


    ��Who is behind Almeron?��


    Roland��s face changed slightly. He didn��t hear about the $5 million, but he heard Leonardo��s words about wanting to replace Almeron, and he quickly asked:


    ��Are you really planning to help Leonardo overthrow Almeron?��


    Luo An did not answer, but looked at Roland and asked quietly:


    ��Roland, you have been working in the field, don��t you want to make progress?��


    ����


    Roland��s face froze and he didn��t know how to answer. At this moment, Chenelle came over and whispered with an ugly face:


    ��Team leader, the call has been put through, but Salls refuses to come to Brasilia.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 642： Forced buying, forced selling, taking advantage of the situation

    Chapter 642: Forced buying and selling + taking advantage of the situation


    A building in the suburbs of Brasilia.


    ��Team leader, Salls rejected Leonardo.��


    Chenier said with a serious face:


    ��What should I do if she refuses to come to Brasilia?��


    Roan thought for a moment, then turned around and patted Roland on the shoulder, asking him to think about what he just said. Then he and Chenier walked towards Leonardo not far away.


    Leonardo, who was directly rejected by the other party, looked a little unhappy. When he saw Luo An coming over, he hurriedly said:


    ��Give me another chance, and I will definitely be able to convince that woman to come to Brasilia!��


    Luo An asked back:


    ��What are you going to say?��


    ����


    Leonardo''s expression froze. He really didn''t have much else to do. That woman from Salles had been engaged in arms trading and rarely got involved in the battles between various local forces.


    ??Mona, Winslow and Lacey next to them all looked very ugly when they saw this scene. If Salls did not come to Brasilia, then they would have wasted so much time and all their efforts would be in vain.


    But because of the special circumstances of your business, I need to collect half of the deposit first. "


    After the words fell, the female voice on the other end of the phone returned to being emotionless again. Leonardo raised his head and glanced at Luo An, and again followed the plan taught by Luo An and said quickly:


    "Saers, since you are a businessman, then the life of that old guy Almeron is naturally a commodity, and I think it is reasonable to buy it from you.


    The voice on the other end of the phone fell silent. Mona, Winslow, and Lacey all held their breath and stared at the phone in Leonardo''s hand.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and a large amount of sweat gradually appeared on Leonardo''s forehead. At this moment, Luo An suddenly said:


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, a voice came from the phone. Salls said quietly:


    "Um?"


    ?In addition, I heard that you have many enemies. You sell arms everywhere just to make money to support your men, let them protect themselves, and kill those enemies.


    "oh?"


    Hearing that Leonardo wanted to buy something from him, Salls suddenly became interested, and his tone was slightly excited:


    ??Everyone raised their heads and looked at Luo An. Luo An briefly told Leonardo his plan. Leonardo''s face suddenly twitched after hearing this.


    ��What do you want to buy? Guns and ammunition? Or bombs and missiles?


    We are all old friends. If you buy more, I can give you a friendly price. "


    Taking a deep breath, Leonardo followed the plan Luan just gave him and said coldly:


    ��I know, so I want to buy something from you this time.��


    Suspicion flashed in the eyes of Lacey and others next to them, some doubting whether Luo An''s plan could succeed, but it was not appropriate to question Luo An in this situation, so they took submachine guns and turned their attention to Renner many.


    Hearing that his identity immediately changed from "customer" to "old friend", Leonardo cursed in his heart, but his tone did not change and he said directly:


    ��I want to buy the life of that old **** Almeron Cristo!��


    ??The call was quickly connected, and a female voice with a high sugar content but no mood swings sounded on the phone:


    ��I��m sorry, Leonardo, as I said just now, I��m just a businessman and I��m not responsible for resolving conflicts between customers.��


    I''ll offer you a ton of white flour, worth about $70 million, and hire you to kill that old Almeron. How about that? "


    ?Leonardo pondered for a moment and pressed the phone number again.


    ��I have a solution.��


    ?Leonardo also raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head. He was the most nervous one at the scene.


    ��The previous rule was that I had to collect one-eighth as a deposit.


    ?Hearing that Salls agreed, Mona, Winslow and Chenier''s eyes suddenly lit up. Leonardo also breathed a long sigh of relief and agreed:


    ��No problem, as long as you arrive in Brasilia, I can deliver the goods to you!��


    "Wait a moment."


    At this moment, Salls suddenly called Leonardo to stop. Leonardo on the other end of the phone suddenly frowned. Mona, Winslow and Chenier also had slightly changed expressions and stared closely. Got the phone.


    ??Amid everyone''s nervous gazes, Salls'' voice came from the phone. She said softly:


    "Leonardo, I have never been in the business of white flour, so I have no use for it and can only sell it. But in this process, I need to contact the buyer, have people move it, and send someone to guard it...it''s too troublesome .��


    ??Mona and Cheniel frowned, not understanding what Salles meant. Roan had a strange look on his face and vaguely guessed something. Leonardo was also very confused because he was nervous:


    "What do you mean?"


    "When I was studying, I heard a saying called "Don''t bother two people with one thing."" There was a chuckle on the phone, and Salls said:


    ��After this is over, how about I sell this ton of white flour directly to you? Offer $100 million.��


    ������xN


    ??Hearing Salles'' behavior of switching from left to right, buyers changing sellers, and openly raising prices with their eyes open, Mona, Lacey, and Chenelle''s eyes suddenly widened.


    Leonardo''s mouth twitched, and Luo An, who had just guessed that this might be the case, narrowed his eyes slightly. He now felt that Salles, a woman, was becoming more and more interesting.


    "what do you think?"


    ?Saars�� calm voice came from the phone:


    ��If you feel it��s inappropriate, there��s no need to discuss this business.��


    Leonardo took a deep breath and agreed:


    ��No, it��s a good fit. I think the price is very reasonable.��


    "That''s good."


    ?Saars smiled, exchanged a few words and hung up the phone.


    ??The phone was busy, and Leonardo cursed in a low voice with an angry face:


    ��Damn words! #*%������


    Ignoring Leonardo''s breath, Mona and Chenelle both looked at each other with admiration and gave a thumbs up to Luo An, the planner. Luo An clapped his hands and called them together and said seriously:


    ��Everyone has heard that Salls will come to Brasilia in one day. There is not much time left for us, so everyone should hurry up and get ready!��


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    ? Winslow, Chenelle, Lacey, Mona and Michelle all nodded. Roan briefly communicated with Leonardo and asked Winslow and others to take him away.


    ?Everyone left, Luo An walked to Roland and asked with a smile:


    ��How are you thinking?��


    Roland had a very complicated expression on his face. He was silent for a few seconds, looked up at Roan, and asked:


    ��Are you sure you can let me leave the field and enter the headquarters?��


    ?Luo An shook his head and replied with a smile:


    ��Entering the headquarters is uncertain, but leaving the field is sure.��


    Roland blinked his eyes for a moment, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:


    ��I know who is behind Almeron.��


    ��Good.��


    Since arriving at the FBI headquarters in Washington, Luo An has discovered that information transmission is increasingly important. Timely information can sometimes save lives, but untimely information can kill people, so Luo An quietly began to expand effective contacts.


    There is Director Elmer on the IRS side, and Veranith on the FBI side. After this incident is over, Roland will be able to leave the field and enter management work without any accident. By then, Roan will also have a good friend on the CIA side.


    Roan patted Roland on the shoulder, and Roan had a smile on his face.


    The day passed in the blink of an eye. In the early morning of the day before the sun had risen, Luo An and others, together with Leonardo, drove to an area in the eastern suburbs of Brasilia.


    ??In a previous phone call, Sarles said she would take her men to Brasilia by helicopter.


    Luo An and his party, who were fully armed and disguised as Leonardo''s men, did not wait long before several helicopters with flashing lights appeared faintly in the distant sky.


    Lacey said in a low voice:


    ��What a big battle.��


    Winslow squinted his eyes and noticed something else:


    ��The one at the beginning seems to be the British Lynx helicopter?��


    Chenelle and Lacey were a little surprised:


    "you sure?"


    Winslow shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, a dazzling red light suddenly shot out from the darkness in the distance and hit the leading helicopter!


    Boom! !


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 643： Sudden battle, news leaked

    Chapter 643 Sudden battle, news leaked


    Lynx Helicopter is a multi-purpose helicopter developed by the Kingdom of England and in cooperation with the Republic of France.


    Seeing Salers'' people flying a Lynx helicopter, all the agents of Investigation Team 13 present were surprised and at the same time realized that the possibility of a connection between Salles and MI6 had increased.


    ?But before everyone could continue thinking, a rocket with a red tail flame suddenly shot out and hit the leader''s Bobcat helicopter hard!


    Boom��


    ??A deafening explosion sounded in the distance. The severely damaged Bobcat helicopter immediately burst into flames and spun uncontrollably and hit the ground.


    Then several more rockets flew out. Some of the other helicopters successfully evaded them, while others were hit and fell to the ground.


    The sudden situation startled all the agents of Investigation Team 13. Leonardo and Roland were also shocked and a little at a loss because this was not at all in their plan.


    ??Luo An reacted the fastest. Although he didn��t know what was happening in the distance, he quickly pressed down Leonardo��s head and loudly ordered everyone to avoid:


    ��Be careful!��


    "clear!"


    ??Mona and Lacey quickly put their guns on alert. Luo An quickly got up from the ground. His "emotional perception" found that there were more than thirty unfamiliar emotional fluctuations not far away. He quickly took out a grenade and loudly said:


    ��Everyone, throw grenades to the west as hard as you can! Then retreat to the east!��


    "damn it!"


    ?The next second, two rockets suddenly flew towards here from a distance, directly blowing the car that Luo An and others had just driven here into pieces!


    The two cars were all over the place in an instant, and the blazing flames illuminated the area very brightly. Everyone present felt a little chilly. Winslow quickly turned his eyes to the direction where the rocket had just flown, and frowned. :


    ��Who is the enemy?��


    After the order was issued, the agents of Investigation Team 13 immediately began to look for a safe place to hide. Roland reached out and grabbed Leonardo��s arm, and shouted in a low voice:


    "have no idea!"


    ��Everyone! Get down!��


    ��How did you find us?��


    While the two were talking, Luo An suddenly felt a chill running up his spine. Without hesitation, he immediately kicked Leonardo and Roland aside and shouted:


    Boom! boom! boom! boom!


    ??The grenade landed, and a series of explosions suddenly sounded. Nearly ten guys wearing black hoods with only one eye exposed, wearing the cheapest body armor on the market, and holding AK rifles in their hands were instantly blown up all over the ground.


    ?Leonardo nodded repeatedly and quickly took out his phone to press the buttons.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��OK, OK!��


    ��Call Salles and ask her what��s going on!��


    Before Leonardo could react, Roland seemed to feel something and quickly reached out to pull Leonardo to the ground.


    Although they didn��t know how Luo An determined the enemy��s distance, the trust they had developed over a long period of time prevented the agents from asking any questions. They immediately took out the grenade and threw it out according to Luo An��s order.


    ��What?��


    "Don''t be dazed! Boss, let us kill those people quickly!"


    ??The rest of the hooded men who were splashed with blood were either surprised or frightened, but the people behind did not give them any time to rest. More people in the same clothes rushed up and shouted:


    Boom��


    "clear!"


    The men in hoods with bloodstains on their bodies had a stern look on their faces, and immediately charged forward again. A few dozen meters behind them, a bearded man showed no expression on his face, holding a mobile phone and said softly:


    ��Boss, I have found Leonardo, he will not survive today.��


    ?At the same time, the agents of Investigation Team No. 13, led by Luo An, killed their pursuers and retreated in an orderly manner.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??Lacie and Chenelle staggered forward toward the east together, pulling the trigger of the submachine gun to shoot the enemy in the head. Lacey frowned and said:


    ��Where did this group of people come from?��


    Just as Cheniel was about to speak, Luo An��s voice suddenly sounded from the communicator in their ears:


    ��The equipment and weapons of these people are very similar to those at the bottom of Almeron��s banner. They should be sent by Almeron to hunt down Leonardo.��


    ��That��s my guess too.��


    Cheniel killed the enemy with one shot and added:


    ��The offensive method of this group of people is very rough, very similar to the records of Almeron��s lowest-level subordinates who have basically no professional training.��


    "damn it."


    Lacie cursed a few words in a low voice and asked:


    ��We all left Rio de Janeiro and ran to Brasilia, and Almeron found us so quickly?!�� ????Bang! boom! boom!


    ?Three shots shot three men in hoods in the head, Luo An said quietly:


    ��After all, Almeron has stayed in Rio de Janeiro for decades, and it is normal to have some friends in Brasilia.��


    Lacey looked ugly, Chenelle pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��Team leader, what should we do next? Retreat directly?��


    "No!"


    Luo An glanced at the direction of the helicopter just now, narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:


    ��Everyone, follow me closely, let��s move towards the northeast together!��


    The place where the helicopter was hit by a rocket just now was still quite a distance away from them. Luo An could be sure that the people who attacked Salls were not the same group of people who attacked them.


    ??Although I don��t know the identity of the group of people who attacked Sarles, heading to that battlefield is the best plan now.


    ?On the one hand, after working hard for so many days, we finally managed to lure the target man Salles to Brasilia. We must not give up halfway and leave directly.


    On the other hand, there are so many pursuers behind them that it is unrealistic to keep running away. The agents of the No. 13 Investigation Team will always run out of bullets.


    Instead of just going for the kill, it is better to go to the battlefield of the helicopter and try to mess up the battlefield more. It is best to divert the attention of the pursuers and the group of people who attacked Sarles, or even lure the two groups of enemies into fighting. together.


    ? Luo An quickly finished his plans and plans, and a group of agents immediately began to move quickly in the direction of the helicopter.


    ?While everyone was moving forward quickly, Luo An ran to Leonardo��s side:


    ��Can you contact Salls?��


    ��I��ll try again.��


    Leonardo swallowed while running and took out his mobile phone again.


    The call was connected within a few seconds. Gunshots were heard in the background. Salls asked sharply:


    "Who are you?"


    ?Leonardo quickly revealed his identity and asked directly without any nonsense:


    ��What��s going on over there?��


    ��The news of my coming to Brasilia was leaked, and an enemy ambushed me there in advance.��


    Salls on the phone sneered and said:


    ��You made the right call at the right time. I was just going to ask you why my enemies knew about this matter.��


    ?Leonardo��s expression changed:


    ��What do you mean, you doubt me?��


    "if not?"


    ?Saars�� voice was very cold:


    ��There is absolutely nothing wrong with the people around me. Where else could the news have been leaked if it wasn��t from you?��


    "I��"


    Leonardo paused in his words and looked around at Luo An and others. The volume of his cell phone call was very loud, and Luo An and others all heard Salers'' words.


    The agents of Investigation Team 13 were sure that there was absolutely no problem between them. Leonardo had been under their guard and had no chance to contact others, so Lacey and others turned their attention to Roland next to them.


    ?Roland: ������


    "not him."


    ??Luo An waved his hands to let the agents not be suspicious, and then made a few lip-syncs to Leonardo.


    Leonardo nodded upon seeing this, and then briefly described on his mobile phone the situation in which he and others were also being hunted. He also talked about Luo An��s plan to lure the enemies into fighting each other, and finally said:


    "Saers, I can confirm that the news was definitely not leaked from me, but this matter can be put aside for now. The top priority now is to find a way to get out of here quickly, what do you think?"


    Salls on the other end of the phone was silent for a while:


    ��Okay, let��s get through this together first.��


    ��OK.��


    Hang up the phone, Leonardo breathed a sigh of relief, while Mona frowned:


    ��What happened to the news that Salls came to Brasilia was leaked?��


    ��I don��t know, let��s get there first.��


    ?Luo An glanced thoughtfully into the distance, and then led everyone to continue moving in the direction of the helicopter. Not far behind them, a group of guys carrying AKs were chasing after them.

 Chapter 644： Lead the enemy to attack, break through

    Chapter 644: Lead the enemy to attack and break through


    ??In a jungle a few kilometers east of Bras��lia, the sun has not yet risen.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ?Gunshots and crossfires occurred one after another. Winslow, Chenier and others were fighting back against the enemy while moving in the direction of the helicopter crash in the distance as planned.


    Relying on "emotional perception", Luo An led everyone to move left and right, not only bypassing the traps set by the men in AK hoods, but also causing most of the grenades to hit the enemy.


    Roland and Leonardo stared at Roan with their eyes wide open, looking at Roan in shock and admiration. On the other side, the men in AK hoods were even more unbelievable. They felt like they were being seen by the other side, and they were completely defenseless.


    The number of teammates around them was visibly reduced. The men in AK hoods invariably slowed down their forward speed. The bearded man not far behind frowned when he saw this scene:


    ��A bunch of rubbish!��


    ??He originally planned to use the most common human sea tactic to drown the opponent. Anyway, this kind of grassroots subordinates can make up for the lack of it.


    But now these grassroots subordinates were out of fear. The bearded man snorted coldly, took out his rifle and led several elite subordinates around him to the front, and said in a deep voice:


    ��No need to capture them alive, kill them all! I just want corpses!��


    "clear!"


    ?While Salls and Leonardo were talking, Luo An was quietly observing Salls'' men.


    ��Hello, Leonardo.��


    ?Leonardo grinned and said that as long as Almeron dies, everything will belong to him, and Salls'' account is definitely not a problem.


    In addition to those who are fighting in the distance, there are about 10 people in this open space. They are also fully equipped. The majority of them are men. The only women are Salls himself and a black female subordinate who is treating Salls'' wounds. .


    At this time, Luo An and others all wore black hoods on their heads. This look is very common in the underground world of Pakistan. The group of men with AK hoods just now proved that Luo An and others also used this to disguise themselves as Lun. Nadeau''s men.


    ��It��s me, Leonardo.��


    Seeing the actions of the black female subordinate treating the wounds, Luo An touched his pocket thoughtfully.


    At this time, Salles no longer looked as neat and beautiful as in the original photo. Because she was blown off the helicopter, her arms and thighs had varying degrees of fractures or contusions. There were also many wounds on her head and cheeks, which leaked out. A lot of blood was drawn.


    ��Let Salls come out to me.��


    ? Glancing left and right at Leonardo and the men around him, Sarles''s eyes flashed with an imperceptible glimmer. She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and said coldly:


    "Leonardo, there are pursuers behind you, and there are enemies across from me. These two groups of people have already pinched us on the left and right. You just said that you planned to let them fight each other. How to do this?"


    ??After a few words of communication to confirm Leonardo''s identity, the group of heavily armed guys moved out of the way, carefully guarding Luo An and his party on both sides, and led them into the depths of the jungle not far away.


    Considering that Salles might know him from the previous bombing, before today''s operation, Luo An specially asked Winslow to get some black hoods with only the eyes exposed.


    At the other end of the jungle, the sound of firefights was even louder, and occasionally RPGs could be seen flying by. The intensity of the battle was far more intense than the battle Luo An and others had just fought with the men in AK hoods.


    Not far away, Leonardo and Roan saw Sarles under a large crooked tree.


    ��It��s very simple.��


    After a few simple greetings, Salls asked:


    Being patted on the shoulder by Luo An calmly, Leonardo walked out of the crowd with a twitch of his eyelids, shook his cell phone and said:


    "no problem!"


    On the other side, Luo An and others successfully distanced themselves from the men in AK hoods, and were confronting another group of heavily armed guys with guns drawn.


    ��I��ve made a big loss on this business, you must increase the money.��


    Leonardo smiled and introduced the plan that Luo An had just given to him:


    ��My men will lead the enemies who pursue me to the flank of your enemies.


    My men will first kill a few of your enemies with a sneak attack from the side, and then use grenades to kill a few of the enemies who are chasing me and withdraw from the battlefield.


    ??The sun has not come out yet, the visibility is not good, and people on both sides have died. Since the situation is unclear, they will most likely fight together. When they are almost done fighting, we will come out to clean up the mess. "


    "very good."


    Hearing that his own men were not required to come forward, Salls grinned:


    ��Then let��s get started.��


    Leonardo turned his eyes to Luo An. Luo An didn''t say anything. He gave Mona and others a look, then patted Winslow''s arm and led him towards the planned direction. Using the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An easily located the location of the enemies, and quickly led the men in AK hoods to the side of Salers'' enemy position while moving left and right.


    ??Took out a few grenades and threw them into the battlefield, and successfully killed several of Sarles'' enemies in a sneak attack. Taking advantage of the shock and chaos of the enemy, Luo An quickly led Winslow out of the battlefield.


    Boom!


    As soon as Luo An and Winslow exited the battlefield, an RPG flew out of the position and hit the spot where the two had just thrown the grenade.


    ?The men in AK hoods who just happened to rush up from a distance and hit the RPG in the face suffered heavy casualties instantly and immediately fired back without hesitation.


    Boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    For a while, the sound of gunfire and explosions was a little more intense than before. The men in AK hoods fired wildly. The enemies of Sarles were fighting on two fronts. The situation was somewhat unfavorable, but they resisted the pressure and insisted on counterattack.


    ��Good!��


    ??When Roan and Winslow returned to the clearing deep in the jungle, Salles stood up and applauded the two of them, with a smile on his face and said:


    ��Well done!��


    Roan didn��t say anything, and quietly walked back behind Leonardo with Winslow. Leonardo��s eyelids jumped, he swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and smiled at Salls:


    ��We can take a break first.��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Looking at the flickering fire in the distance, Salls raised the corners of his mouth and ordered to the people around him:


    "Let the people in front focus on defense, don''t fight the opponent desperately, and wait until the people on the opposite side finish fighting."


    "clear."


    ?Saars'' men immediately ran away, preparing to inform the order to another group of people who were engaging in firefights with the enemy.


    But this subordinate did not leave for long. In less than five minutes, the sound of fierce fighting in the distance suddenly decreased little by little, and finally disappeared suddenly.


    ??The sound of the battle disappeared too abruptly, and it didn''t look like one side was annihilating the other at all. Sarls''s face changed slightly:


    "what happened?"


    Leonardo��s expression also changed. Luo An frowned slightly, patted Leonardo��s arm to stop him from talking, walked out and said:


    ��I��m afraid both parties fighting over there realized something was wrong.��


    Luo An said that neither Salers'' enemies nor the commanders behind the men in AK hoods were the brainless guys in the movie. When they realized something was wrong, there was a possibility that he might be deceived and used as a thug. First of all, It��s perfectly normal to react by stopping the fight or negotiating.


    Salers looked up and down at Luo An, who was wearing a hood and could only see his eyes, and asked:


    "Who are you?"


    ��He is my most trusted subordinate.��


    ??Mona calmly pushed Leonardo, and Leonardo immediately came out and said with a smile:


    ��My escape from that old guy Almeron was all thanks to him.��


    ?Saers stared at Luo An without saying anything. At this moment, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out in the distance again.


    ��Boss!��


    ??One of Salls''s men ran over quickly and said eagerly:


    ��The two waves of people on the opposite side have started to join forces to attack us!��


    ��Fu-k!��


    Salls stopped talking nonsense, looked at Luo An and asked:


    ��What��s next?��


    ��Breakout to the right!��


    ??Luo An was not panicked at all. He had anticipated this possibility by thinking from his perspective, so when he and Winslow were acting together just now, he carefully observed the nearby terrain and enemy distribution, and said in a deep voice:


    ��The right side is the weakest place surrounded by the two groups of enemies. We can break out from there!��


    The situation was urgent at the moment. Salls did not hesitate and immediately led and ordered all his men to break out to the right. Luo An and others also began to advance to the right simultaneously.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 645： emergency, death

    Chapter 645 Sudden Situation, Death


    boom! boom! boom!


    "Attention please!"


    "careful!"


    ��Grenade! Be careful to avoid it!��


    The peaceful jungle of the past was replaced by fierce gunfire and explosions today.


    Many of Salles'' men ran after the final exchange of fire with the enemy. Sarles himself, with a few close men, quickly broke forward together with Roan, Leonardo and others.


    ��Ambush ahead on the right! Go to the left!��


    Killing the enemy with one shot, Luo An shouted loudly, and Winslow and other agents of Investigation Team 13 immediately turned left without hesitation.


    ?Leonardo and Roland, after the experience of the past few days, were confused but also believed in Roan''s judgment, so they also turned left quickly.


    Salers and his men were full of distrust. The black woman next to her loudly questioned:


    ��It��s finally out!��


    Roan pulled Salls and ran forward quickly, lying casually that because the grenade exploded, the pursuers were more or less stained with the blood that splashed on their companions when they died, and he could smell the blood.


    Winslow, Chenier and others were not injured because of Luo An��s prompt warning and their own reaction speed fast enough. When the explosion stopped, several people immediately got up and aimed their guns behind them.


    "marvelous!"


    ?Several Salls'' men who did not react died instantly, or their limbs were blown off and they fell to the ground wailing.


    Before the black female subordinate could finish her words, a group of enemies suddenly rushed out from the right and opened fire wildly. Several subordinates standing outside Salers were knocked to the ground before they could even react.


    Hurrying away from here, Salles looked at Luo An with a face full of surprise. The black female subordinate next to her swallowed and asked with a face full of shock:


    ��How did you know there was an ambush?��


    Leonardo, Roland, Investigation Team 13 and Salls�� men let out a long sigh of relief when they saw Brasilia��s lights twinkling in the distance.


    ��Don��t move!��


    Before Leonardo could finish his words, Luo An, who felt the biting coldness again, suddenly shrank his pupils, stretched out his hand to press down Mona and the others around him, and shouted loudly at the same time:


    ��Get down!��


    Roland and Leonardo next to him heard this explanation, and there was a flash of light in their eyes and they were convinced. Salls and the black female subordinates were surprised and at the same time looked enlightened.


    Seeing clearly the hand that caused the explosion, everyone''s expressions instantly became very shocked.


    ?Led by Luo An, the group of people kept killing small groups of enemies while moving around, bypassing large groups of enemies and advancing quickly, and it didn''t take long for them to get out of the encirclement.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??The rest of the people were frightened, and quickly shot and killed these enemies, and quickly followed Luo An and others to the left.


    Boom!


    The next second, an explosion sounded, and a grenade suddenly exploded behind the crowd.


    Everyone''s heart was full of admiration and gratitude for Luo An, a guy with a hood whose face could not be seen clearly. Some guys even had the idea of ????wanting to work under Luo An.


    ��How do you know there is�� on the right side?��


    Working in the underground world is precarious, but working under Luo An, the survival rate must be very high!


    After taking a few deep breaths and calming down his emotions, Leonardo stood up and said:


    ��The enemy behind is still chasing, let��s continue...��


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ��My nose is sensitive to the smell of blood.��


    "Oh, God!"


    At the edge of the jungle, the black female subordinate held a pistol to Salles'' temple. She hid tightly behind Salles, held Salles and walked back little by little, shouting loudly:


    ��If you move, I��ll shoot you!��


    ��What?��


    ��W-T-F?!��


    ��Damn words����


    ?The scene in front of them was so unexpected that for a moment everyone vomited fragrance to show their shock.


    Chenier reacted quickly as her eyes moved, and said coldly:


    ��So you are the one who leaked the news! Are you quitting acting and going back to find your accomplices?��


    ??Leonardo reacted quickly when he heard this, looked at Salls and said loudly:


    "I''m just saying there is absolutely no problem on my side, it''s your people who have the problem!" "Fu-k!"


    ??Sars, who was held hostage, yelled at the black female subordinate and shouted at other subordinates to save him.


    ??The black female subordinate hit Salles on the head with a gun, retreated and shouted repeatedly:


    "Don''t move! If you dare to move, I will shoot!"


    ??Seeing the black female men returning to the jungle holding hostages little by little, everyone''s faces were very ugly. Winslow, Chenille and others all turned their attention to Luo An, wondering what Luo An would do.


    Before Luo An could speak, Salls and the black female subordinate had just returned to the jungle when a rocket flew out from deeper into the jungle and hit directly where the two figures disappeared.


    Boom��


    ??The explosion was deafening, dust flew into the air, and the surrounding trees were instantly blown to the ground. Orange-red flames began to burn blazingly on the fallen branches.


    ������xN


    ?The air became quiet for a moment, and everyone was shocked, looking at the flames more than ten meters away in disbelief.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Just as Winslow and Chenelle were about to check on the bodies of the two, gunfire broke out in the jungle again, and the group of men in AK hoods rushed out again.


    Not only that, Sarles'' enemies also ran out from behind. Because there were so many enemies, the area was relatively empty and lacked suitable bunkers, everyone had no choice but to retreat quickly and leave the place.


    Twenty minutes later, the familiar sun slowly rose from the east, breaking the darkness and bringing sunshine and warmth to the world.


    But in a building on the outskirts of Brasilia, the atmosphere was very depressing.


    Chenelle and Lacey stood against the wall and looked up at the glass; Winslow, Leonardo and Roland sat on the ground eating, expressionless; Mona and Michelle stood by the window, looking at the jungle brow in the distance Locked tightly, everyone was silent.


    ��I never dreamed that things would develop like this.��


    After a long silence, Lacey covered her face, her tone full of helplessness:


    ��First the news leaked that Sarles was attacked by the enemy; then we were attacked by Almeron��s men.


    We successfully lured both sides into fighting, but that group of people didn''t know how to communicate like this, and actually started to attack us together.


    ??The black female subordinate was a traitor. She held Salls hostage, but she was killed by a rocket from her own people... So, can she call it suicide? "


    Chenelle rubbed her temples helplessly and said:


    ��Does it matter whether you commit suicide or not? It doesn��t matter.


    What''s really important is that Salers''s death means that our work these days has been in vain. "


    After Chenier finished speaking, the air in the room became quiet again. After a long silence, Mona looked at Luo An and asked in a low voice:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ?At this time, Luo An was leaning against the wall, slowly rubbing his temples and closing his eyes in deep thought.


    ?Hearing Mona��s question, Luo An stopped moving, opened his eyes, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Go back and raid to capture the enemy leader of Salls.��


    ��What?��


    "What did you say?"


    ?Lacie and Chenie''s eyes suddenly widened, Roland and Leonardo''s faces were filled with disbelief, and Mona and Michelle were equally puzzled.


    ??Luo An waved to Mona and whispered a few words in her ear. Mona moved her eyes slightly, nodded and turned to leave.


    ?Others were even more confused, and Luo An continued:


    ��Chenelle, Lacey, you two will join me later.


    Winslow, Michel, Roland, you stay here to keep it safe. "


    Winslow looked around, stood up and walked to Luo An and asked in a low voice the reason for doing this. Luo An grinned:


    ��I doubt anyone wants to get the Best Actor trophy.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 646： Infiltrate the operation and take the hostage again

    Chapter 646: Infiltration operation, another hijacking


    ��The best actor trophy?��


    ??In a building on the outskirts of Brasilia, Winslow looked puzzled when he heard the words in Luo An''s mouth. After thinking about it for a moment, he reacted and said in surprise:


    ��You mean the black female subordinate faked her death and was acting?��


    "Maybe."


    Roan glanced at Leonardo and Roland not far away, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Almeron��s men are hunting for Leonardo, and the guys behind the men in AK hoods will continue to look for us.


    After I take Chenelle and Lacey away, this place will be left to you, so remember to be careful. "


    ?Among the six members of the No. 13 Investigation Team, simply comparing the value of force used to capture enemies and kill them, such as marksmanship and fighting, Luo An, the team leader, is undoubtedly the first echelon.


    ?Following closely behind was Winslow, followed first by Chenelle, then Lacey, and finally Mona, the technical talent, and Michelle, the office talent.


    "no problem."


    ��The retreat direction seems to be to the west.��


    "no problem."


    ?At this time, the sun was rising slowly, and it was bright and sunny without any clouds. It looked like a good weather.


    Using the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An found that the jungle that was bustling not long ago was now empty. The three of them had a smooth journey and soon arrived at the empty land where Salls and others were. Except for the corpses, Nothing else.


    With everything ready, the three of Luo An and the five of Winslow and Mona separated on the spot. They set up contact information in case of accidents. The eight people were divided into two groups and started heading in their respective directions.


    ?At the edge of the jungle, some local people in simple and even tattered clothes were handling the corpses in a tacit understanding, placing them together to prepare for burning.


    The bullet was loaded with a "click" sound. Chenelle nodded vigorously with a serious face. Lacey thought for a while and asked in a low voice:


    "Luo An, what kind of "infiltration" are you talking about?"


    ?The reason why these people did this was not because of the government''s order, but simply because they were afraid of diseases caused by the decomposition of corpses, and because there were many good things on the corpses, they could be sold for money.


    "understood."


    ??Roan patted Winslow''s shoulder hard and gave a few brief instructions about guarding Leonardo and other matters, then turned and walked towards Lacey and Chenelle in the distance.


    Without staying here longer, the three of Luo An continued to move towards the location where Salls'' men had exchanged fire with the enemy. There was still no one except the corpses.


    Lacey reached out and touched the bullet holes in the fallen tree next to her, observed them for a few seconds and whispered:


    Lacie smiled and silently picked up a few more submachine gun magazines.


    ��Looks like these guys have left.��


    ?Winslow nodded solemnly with a serious face and a very solemn tone:


    He grabbed the MP5-9mm submachine gun, put the Colt M1911 pistol on his back, put the HUGGE body armor on his body, and took a dozen grenades, smoke bombs, and shock bombs. Luo An opened his mouth and showed his white teeth. Asked rhetorically:


    ��What do you think?��


    ??Moving cautiously to the ambush site where Sarles'' enemies had been, the three of Luo An found that the bodies of these people had been packed into a large hole that had been blown out, and the rest of the enemies were also missing.


    Bypassing the area they had just walked out of not long ago, Luo An and the other three quietly sneaked into the jungle again from the other side.


    ��I will ensure the safety of these people until you come back.��


    Roan and Cheniel carefully observed their surroundings for a moment, and then came to the same conclusion, and immediately continued to move towards the west.


    Lacie and Chenelle were sorting out their equipment, Roan said:


    "The action plan this time is very simple. I will be responsible for the main attack, and you two will be responsible for the cover. We will return to the jungle and sneak into the enemy leader of Salls!"


    As they moved forward quickly, the three of them rounded a river. Not far away, Luo An suddenly stopped and squatted down silently with a fist in his right hand. When Chenille and Lacey saw this, they quickly stopped and carefully observed their surroundings.


    ??Using "emotional perception" to observe carefully for a moment, Luo An determined that the enemies were not far ahead. Luo An immediately waved his hands and gave orders. Lacey and Chenelle, who understood the gestures, nodded silently and silently stood up and moved towards both sides.


    At the same time, in the jungle not far ahead, a team of fifteen fully armed soldiers who looked like mercenaries were divided into two groups. Four stayed behind to observe the surroundings, while the rest alternated positions and silently headed west. go ahead.


    In the center of the fifteen-person team, there were two white men without helmets and holding pistols.


    ??The man on the left who looks to be in his thirties and has a scar on his forehead is frowning and swearing under his breath, while the man on the right with a hooked nose just keeps his head down and moves forward without saying a word.


    ��How far is it?��


    ��Twenty minutes away.��


    "Let''s go quickly. I want to find a woman to sleep with. Today is really a bad fight." "Yeah, those **** guys..."


    The four mercenaries who stayed behind were cursing and complaining as they walked. The course of today''s battle was completely beyond their expectations.


    ??Surrounding a big tree, the four of them suddenly noticed an abnormal light, their faces all changed and they subconsciously prepared to raise their guns.


    Before the four men could raise their guns, three figures suddenly jumped out from the side, and a dazzling cold light flashed through. Lacey and Chenille each stabbed one person to death with a dagger, while Luo An, like a ghost, used the dagger to cut off the two in the blink of an eye. The throats of the other two.


    The four of them fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. Luo An sensed the distance, took out two grenades and gave Chenille and Lacey a look. Upon seeing this, the two women immediately repeated Luo An''s actions, and then together with Luo An, they Throw it out.


    Boom! boom! boom! boom!


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��There��s a sneak attack!��


    "damn it!"


    ��Back! Back!��


    ��They��re behind! Be careful!��


    ?The grenade exploded, the sound was deafening and dust flew up. The remaining dozen or so people didn''t even react, and more than half of them were killed instantly.


    Other people who were not injured quickly got up from the ground, screamed loudly, raised their guns and shot wildly behind them.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sound of bullets breaking through the air was harsh, but after throwing the grenades, Cheniel and Lacey hid behind a few big trees without any panic. Luo An, who was also hiding behind another big tree, took out the smoke bomb and shouted loudly road:


    ��Throw smoke bombs! Shoot when someone comes out of the smoke, do you understand?��


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    The two women responded in unison, and together with Luo An, they threw smoke bombs at the enemy.


    ����


    Six smoke bombs exploded, and billowing white smoke instantly enveloped this small patch of jungle, reducing visibility instantly.


    ?While the enemies stopped shooting, Luo An drank a bottle of [Hemostatic Potion] and a bottle of [Swift Potion] out of sight, and then jumped into the smoke.


    ��Back up! Get out of here!��


    ��Leave quickly!��


    ��Be careful! There��s����


    ?Bang bang bang��


    In the shocked and horrified eyes of the mercenaries, Luo An, who relied on "emotional positioning" instead of vision, shot one by one in the billowing smoke. They didn''t see each other at all, and a bullet hole appeared on their forehead. lose consciousness.


    After finally running out of the thick smoke, before they had time to rejoice, Cheniel and Lacey outside pulled the trigger of the submachine gun, and several bullets flew out, sending the mercenary into a deep sleep.


    ��Who is this guy?��


    ��Where is he? Where is he?��


    ��I found him! Hurry����


    boom!


    At the beginning, the Luo An trio quietly killed four of the fifteen mercenaries, and grenades killed and injured nearly half of them. The remaining six were frightened and fought back frantically, but due to the thick smoke, their line of sight was blocked, and most of the bullets were lost. They all missed, and Luo An killed three more in the blink of an eye.


    boom-


    The remaining three people fired wildly around with guns. Luo An couldn''t dodge and was hit by a bullet in the shoulder. He groaned and his face became colder. Luo An rolled sideways and hid in the smoke to block the enemy''s sight, and then found a good angle. He raised his submachine gun again.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ?Two shots were fired into the chest and one into the head. The three enemies fell to the ground with indignation on their faces. Even to their death, they did not understand why Luo An''s positioning was so accurate under such thick smoke.


    ?At last there were only two white men without helmets left at the scene. Just as Luo An was about to stand up, he suddenly grabbed the man with the scar at the corner of his eye with a hooked nose, took out a pistol and pressed it against his temple, and shouted loudly:


    ��Don��t come over here! Come over and I��ll shoot!��

 Chapter 647： The true identity of the enemy

    Chapter 647 The true identity of the enemy


    ��Fu-kYou! You��re such a cousin����


    ??As he was being held hostage, the white man with scars at the corners of his eyes suddenly yelled curses as he exited the thick smoke little by little. He then raised his gun with a hooked nose and hit him on the head.


    On the other side, Lacey��s eyelids jumped when she saw this scene. She patted Chenelle on the shoulder and said in a strange tone:


    ��This scene looks familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere.��


    ��It looks familiar to me too.��


    ?? Cheniel twitched the corner of her mouth, took a deep breath and looked at Luo An. Luo An also had a strange look on his face, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and asked:


    ��You two, can you tell me your names first?��


    ��This cousin��s name is Ian!��


    ??The man with the scar at the corner of his eye was being held hostage and cursed loudly. After naming the man with the hooked nose, he said his name was Phillips.


    ��*#%����


    ?Luo An turned the topic to Ian and asked:


    You three, listen to me, you must not agree to this guy..."


    ??Slowly walked up to Ian, tore his clothes to pieces and tied his hands up. Looking at Ian who was gritting his teeth, Luo An grinned:


    ��I still have a lot of questions that I don��t understand. Maybe you can provide me with some help.��


    As for the relationship between the two, it is similar to the previous relationship between Salls and the black female subordinate. Ian has always been Phillips'' subordinate and worked for him.


    Swearing something incomprehensible, Ian took out a black object from his pocket and threw it at Luo An and the others, then turned around and ran away without hesitation.


    Ian didn��t say nonsense and said bluntly:


    ��These things today were all caused by Phillips, and he is also your target. I am just a part-time worker and I don��t want to die.


    At the same time, four gunshots rang out, and the bullets fired by Luo An accurately hit Ian''s left and right calves, causing Ian''s legs to weaken and fall forward heavily to the ground.


    ��Get down!��


    ��Everyone, I understand your goal.��


    ��There��s no need to leave in such a hurry, Mr. Ian.��


    So let��s make a deal, how about you let me go and I��ll give Phillips to you? "


    ��Fart! Ian is not so clean!


    ??The words sounded substantial and logical. Neither Chenelle nor Lacey noticed any problems. Roan narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to speak. Phillips once again took the lead and yelled:


    ��Mr. Ian, can you tell me the reason why you held your boss hostage?��


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    ?The grenade exploded when it hit the ground. Dust spread all over Chenelle and Lacey, and a pit appeared on the ground again.


    boom!


    ??Philipps had just finished speaking when Luo An suddenly stepped on the ground and moved to the side of several people. At the same time, he raised the muzzle of his gun and shot Ian in the wrist.


    ?Seeing clearly that the black object was a grenade, Luo An immediately shouted. Chenelle and Lacey hurriedly avoided and lay on the ground, while Luo An raised the submachine gun again.


    Boom��


    ��OK.��


    ??Severe pain caused Ian to uncontrollably let go of the gun and drop it. Lacey and Chenelle reacted quickly and immediately flew forward to drag Phillips down and tightly control him to the ground.


    ����


    ?Half an hour later, Luo An and the other three escorted Ian and Phillips to find an open space. Chenelle and Lacey guarded Ian. Luo An took Phillips and walked to another big tree in the distance.


    He took out two packages of chocolates from the pocket of his body armor and ate one package himself. Luo An threw the other package to Phillips, who had his hands tied and was sitting on the ground with chapped lips.


    ?While eating chocolate to restore his physical strength, Luo An briefly described the situation in which Salls and the black female subordinate were killed, and finally said:


    ��We just went to inspect the pit, and there were only some burnt human flesh tissues in it, but no complete skeleton.


    So, as the person who ambushed Salles, Mr. Phillips, you must know something, right? "


    As someone who had received the news in advance and had the opportunity and ability to ambush Sarles'' enemies, Phillips must have clues here, so Roan would turn back to find him.


    After finishing the chocolate, Phillips took a long breath and asked:


    ��Who are you?��


    ��CIA.��


    Luo An replied casually:


    ��Can you answer my question now?��


    Hearing the word CIA, Phillips'' pupils shrank, he pondered for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said:


    ��Actually, my true identity is Salers�� subordinate! Salers contacted me and ordered me to do the ambush today!��


    Phillips said that he was one of the first people to follow Salles. When Salles first entered the underground arms market, he became his subordinate.


    ?Suddenly one day later, Salles found Phillips privately and said that she would give Phillips a sum of money, and then asked Phillips to betray her and become her "sworn enemy".


    ?Phillips sneered and said:


    ��Obviously she is an enemy, but in fact Sarles has been controlling me and letting me get in touch with those who really hate her and have a big hatred against her.


    Then Sarles will use the information from me to take control of everything and eliminate those enemies 100%! "


    ? ? After confirming that Phillips was telling the truth through "emotional perception", Luo An raised his eyebrows. He didn''t expect Salles to take so much pains to dig a hole.


    After thinking about it, Luo An suddenly discovered something else and asked:


    ��But you��re unhappy with this arrangement, aren��t you?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Phillips hesitated, then finally nodded.


    As time went by, through various selling of teammates, Phillips began to control more and more funds, and his subordinates'' power gradually expanded, and he naturally had the idea of ????resistance.


    ?However, Phillips did not show his thoughts. He knew that among his men, there were definitely people sent by Salls to monitor him.


    To ensure safety, Phillips carefully observed for a long time before finally placing Ian, whose identity, records, etc. seemed clean, next to him.


    ��But I didn��t expect that Ian was also the one who expressed his nickname!��


    ?Remembering the scene where Ian held him hostage just now, Phillips looked ferocious and cursed:


    ��The word Salls is so pervasive, it��s so powerful!��


    Luo An looked calm and continued to ask:


    ��What is the specific ambush plan?��


    ��Just setting up an ambush.��


    ??Phillips said that the content of the plan was not complicated. He spent money to find a lot of mercenaries and set up an ambush in advance based on the route provided by Salls.


    Salls�� order to Phillips was to ��really want to kill her.��


    ?Phillips thought this was a good opportunity, so he immediately decided to fake it and hired a large group of mercenaries.


    ??But Phillips never expected the subsequent development of the incident. Not only did strangers like Luo An suddenly appear, but these strangers also brought a bunch of cannon fodder with AKs.


    ??The sudden appearance of a large number of men in AK hoods really caught the mercenaries off guard, otherwise these mercenaries would not have only a dozen people left in the end.


    After Phillips finished narrating, Luo An frowned slightly and asked:


    ��That black female subordinate, you don��t know who she is?��


    Phillips shook his head repeatedly:


    ��I��ve never heard of this guy!��


    After interrogating Phillips, Luo An then interrogated Ian. As a result, Ian said nothing and did not answer any questions.


    After hearing what happened, Chenelle and Lacey looked at each other with somewhat unpleasant expressions. Chenelle pondered for a few seconds and guessed:


    ��Since we are the FBI, we first arrested Leonardo by pretending to be the CIA, and then disguised ourselves as Leonardo��s subordinates to meet Salers.


    ?So is there a possibility that the black female subordinate��s true identity is MI6? Is the identity of her subordinate also her disguise? "


    "possible!"


    Lacie��s eyes lit up and she nodded heavily:


    ��That Lynx helicopter is proof that Salers has a connection with the British Kingdom!��


    Then Lacey''s face fell, and she said helplessly:


    ��There are traces of burning human flesh in the deep pit and there is no skeleton. We can suspect that Salles and the black woman faked their deaths.


    But the problem is, we can��t find them now. "


    Chenier also sighed, turned around and found Luo An��s expression was calm, her eyes lit up and she asked:


    ��Luo An, do you have any good ideas?��


    ??Luo An chuckled, and before he could answer, Winslow''s somewhat excited shout suddenly sounded from the communicator in the ears of the three of them:


    ��Team leader, there is a signal!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 648： Hide and seek is over

    Chapter 648 Hide and Seek Ends


    Brasilia, a clearing in the jungle a few kilometers east of Brasilia.


    Winslow��s excited shouts in the communicator were a bit abrupt. Lacey was startled, and Chenelle quickly asked:


    ��Signal? Winslow, what signal are you talking about?��


    Roan smiled and explained for Winslow:


    ��It��s a positioning signal.��


    Not long ago, he met Salles in that open space. When he saw the black female subordinates helping her to treat her wounds, Luo An touched his pocket (Chapter 644) and remembered the CIA positioning chip that Roland had taken out.


    During the breakout, Luo An rescued Salls several times at critical moments, reaching out and pulling Salls to run with him.


    ?During this period, without attracting Salls'' attention, Luo An quietly took out the positioning chip and inserted one into her clothes and one at the wound location.


    ??The sudden kidnapping behavior of the black female subordinate later was indeed unexpected, but Luo An did not panic at that time because he was sure to find Salles.


    Until another exploding RPG appeared behind him, Luo An''s eyebrows suddenly jumped.


    ?At that time, the distance between the two parties exceeded the range of "emotional perception". He was unable to detect whether the other party was still experiencing emotional fluctuations, and could not judge whether the other party was really dead. A bunch of enemies were chasing after him, so he could only choose to leave temporarily.


    ?Except for the core government area, most other places are built around well-known places such as parks, memorial halls, and museums. The scenery is beautiful and was once listed as a world cultural heritage.


    ��OK.��


    ? ?The overall structure of the central area of ??the city of Brasilia, from a satellite view, looks a bit like a curved bow ready to shoot an arrow.


    ?While abandoning the building, Luo An began to suspect that Salles and the black female subordinate had faked their deaths.


    ��As expected of you!��


    bell��


    ?That signal appeared very briefly and was only sent once every 30 minutes. We have not yet been able to determine the specific situation. "


    ?At the same time, Luo An also told Mona about the positioning chip. That kind of chip only sends out a signal every thirty minutes and is silent the rest of the time. Luo An asked her to always pay attention to the computer and pay attention to receiving the signal in time.


    ��There are no clues here at Phillips. A signal is better than no signal.��


    Winslow on the other end of the communicator was silent for a moment and replied:


    ��It can only be said that Mona received the signal from the positioning device.


    ?Suppressing the wonder and excitement in her heart, Cheniel looked at Luo An with admiration, pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��Where is the signal located?��


    In the northern urban area, there is a bus stop on the road not far from a hotel near the lake. Many tourists and residents are waiting for the bus here.


    There is indeed a black female subordinate. She was an undercover agent sent by Phillips. It is possible that she was simply killed by mistake just now.


    ��In a certain urban area on the north side of Brasilia!��


    After listening to Luo An��s description of the positioning chip, Chenelle��s eyes widened in disbelief, and Lacey was equally dumbfounded. Then the two women��s eyes lit up, and Lacey asked excitedly:


    ��So, Mona has located Salles? Right? Winslow?!��


    So Luo An finally decided to take people back to the battlefield to raid and arrest Phillips, hoping to find clues from him and find out the truth.


    Turning off the communicator, Lacey and Chenelle, with bright eyes, both looked at Luo An, waiting for his next order. Luo An grinned and said directly:


    "Take Phillips and Ian back, and then go to the location where the signal is located to find someone! The hide-and-seek game is over."


    ?At that time point, there was not enough evidence, clues, and valid information, and Luo An was still unable to figure out why the two women did what they did.


    At the very back of the group of people waiting for the bus, stood a tall, dark-skinned woman dressed as a tourist and wearing a mask. She lowered her head in silence and seemed to find the ants on the ground very attractive to her.


    "Um��"


    ��Understood!�� x2


    ����


    Not long after waiting, a bus appeared in the distance. Everyone was happy when they saw it. But when the bus gradually approached, everyone''s eyes showed a hint of disappointment, because this was not the bus they were waiting for.


    ??The passers-by who had already picked up their luggage silently put it down and prepared to continue waiting for their own car. To everyone''s surprise, the bus actually slowly stopped in front of them.


    The car door opened, and no passers-by got on the car, but several men and women got out of the car. Under the puzzled eyes of passers-by, several men and women went straight to the dark-skinned woman at the back among them.


    Selectively ignoring the gazes of passers-by, Winslow, Chenelle, and Lacey surrounded the woman on three sides. Looking at the woman dressed as a tourist in front of him, Luo An raised his lips slightly:


    ��Good afternoon, Miss Salles, the bus has arrived. It��s time for you to get on the bus.��


    The dark-skinned woman was none other than Salls. She was very calm when she was surrounded. She took off her mask and asked calmly: "How did you find me?"


    ��This is not the place to talk.��


    ?Luo An stepped aside to get out of the way and said with a smile:


    ��Let��s go to the car and talk.��


    Under the defensive gazes of Chenelle, Lacey and Winslow, Salles remained silent for a few seconds, and finally stood up and walked towards the bus.


    The door closed, Michelle started the bus and started moving forward. Salles sat in the middle seat, surrounded by members of the No. 13 Investigation Team.


    ��You don��t seem surprised to see me.��


    ?Handed Salers a bottle of water, Luo An sat on the seat opposite her and said with a smile:


    ��It seems that Miss Salles has guessed it��s me, right?��


    ??This time Luo An did not wear a black hood as before, but openly showed off his ordinary and handsome face.


    But when he got out of the car and met Salls, Luo An did not feel her surprise or shock. He was more puzzled and confused.


    Saers smiled and asked:


    ��You haven��t answered my question yet, how did you find me?��


    ��Mona!��


    ?Luo An waved his hand, and Mona immediately came over and pulled Salers''s shirt open.


    ?Due to bleeding from a fracture, Sarles''s right arm had been bandaged several times by a black female subordinate. Mona untied the bandage and wrapped it around. By the last two circles, a metal piece the size of a pinky fingernail fell off.


    ?Saers suddenly realized when he saw this scene and said in annoyance:


    ��I should take a shower.��


    Because time was urgent and one person could not treat the wound alone, Sarles simply changed her clothes. She threw away the positioning chip placed in the clothes and kept the bandage.


    ??Mona took the chip and left, Luo An smiled and said:


    "I''ve finished answering your questions, now it''s Miss Salles'' turn."


    Salers raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said:


    "I do know you, Captain Roan Greenwood, but I really didn''t guess that you found me in the end."


    ��Who do you think it should be?��


    ��MI6, CIA, my enemies����


    ?Saars smiled:


    ��I have offended a lot of people, and they are all possible.��


    ?Chenelle next to her asked aloud:


    ��Who was the black female subordinate who held you hostage before?��


    ?At this point, Salls was very straightforward, without hiding anything or showing off. He answered whatever he asked and said:


    ��An agent from MI6.��


    Lacie followed up and asked:


    ��Where is she?��


    "died."


    ��How did you die?��


    ��Those who were killed by me.��


    ?Saars grinned at Lacey, and his white teeth felt very cold at this moment:


    ��Sneak attack from behind, one shot to the head.


    I threw the body to a garbage collector in the slums, and he promised me that he would take good care of her. "


    ������xN


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 649： Sarless full plan

    Chapter 649 Sarles��s entire plan


    In the bus, Salls'' words made the air very quiet. Winslow, Chenelle, and Lacey all looked at her solemnly.


    Saers just pretended not to see it and said to himself:


    ��I actually didn��t want to be an arms dealer in the underground world at all. MI6 forced me to enter this business.��


    After Herrick was arrested by Luo An and others, there was a big vacancy in the underground arms market, and MI6 immediately made up its mind to seize this market.


    ??However, Herrick''s eldest son and second daughter were somewhat disgusted with MI6, and each had their own agendas that were difficult to control, so MI6 approached Salls.


    ��They used my mother to ��persuade�� me into joining the arms industry.��


    Salers said expressionlessly:


    ��I can��t say no to them.��


    ? Chenelle and Lacey frowned, Winslow and Mona looked a little ugly, but Roan was very calm and felt it was normal.


    After all, the British Kingdom has always insisted on not being a human being and has never disappointed anyone.


    Salls�� expression remained unchanged and he continued:


    ??If he is not dead, it means that Team Leader Luo An is indeed very skilled and capable. After you find out who is behind it, you will definitely be ready to arrest me. "


    It can be said that Sarles has calculated everything:


    Agree to Leonardo''s deal and go to Brasilia with reasonable grounds;


    Because of the existence of the inner ghost Ian, Salles is very aware of Phillips''s rebellious heart, and what she wants is Phillips'' mentality.


    Roan''s eyes moved slightly, and he quickly thought clearly about the other party''s thoughts. He looked at Salls and answered Mona''s question:


    ??And what does the apology email sent to Luo An mean? "


    Let Phillips, who is dissatisfied with himself, take action against himself and throw the blame on him;


    ?However, if I am not strong enough, I will never be able to escape the control of MI6, so I need to quickly expand my power and accumulate wealth and capital quickly. "


    That is what Phillips said before, Salles contacted him and asked him to "act like he really wanted to kill me."


    Unexpectedly, she did find out that Luo An and others left the Federation, but the way Luo An left the Federation and the subsequent preparations were very cautious, which made her completely lose control of the situation of Luo An and others.


    "Lead me here and use some means to escape from MI6''s control, right?"


    ��That��s right!��


    With this idea that neither left nor right would suffer, Sarles made several plans, waiting for Luo An to leave the federation to arrest him, and then escape through fake death and other methods, passing the blame to Luo An, and let MI6 go and fight with him. Roan fights.


    ��From the first day I entered this industry, I always wanted to quit.


    ? ?Leonardo later called her to ask for help, and Salls changed his plan accordingly.


    ? MI6 investigation later revealed that Phillips happened to be the perfect culprit who caused his own death.


    ��Then why did you send someone to design and kill Luo An? Because you wanted to avenge Herric?


    From your words, I didn��t feel how deeply you feel about your father.


    Lacie and Chenelle had different expressions. Mona was silent for a few seconds and asked:


    Salers looked at Luo An with bright eyes and said with a smile:


    ��If you died in the explosion that time, it means your strength is average, and I should give Heerrick a gift.


    ��Because she wanted to lure me here.��


    ?So Salers spent the next time frantically killing his peers and grabbing the cake. Herrick''s eldest son, second daughter, etc. were also completely erased by her because they blocked her path.


    Because she has been living with her mother all these years, those men and women are just "strangers related by blood."


    Contact MI6 and ask the other party to send people to follow you, kill the agents later, retaliate for what MI6 has done over the years, and fake your death to escape.


    ?At the same time, MI6 was involved in the investigation, and finally blamed everything on Phillips, nailing the blame.


    But because of Roan, all Salers�� plans ultimately came to nothing:


    Roan first left the Federation through reverse smuggling, and then asked Mona to tear up the identity of the passport she bought during the smuggling, so that Salls could not trace his whereabouts. Then he arrested Leonardo and, through Leonardo, lured Salles to Brasilia.


    The battlefield behind was complicated. Luo An secretly hid the positioning chip when he led everyone to break out. Not only did he catch Phillips to find out his true identity, but he also found Sarles who was disguising his identity.


    After finishing her narration, Sarles had a complex look on her face, her eyes filled with anger towards Luo An, but she took a few deep breaths to quickly suppress her emotions and said in a deep voice:


    ��Leader Luo An, I do these things just for freedom, to get rid of MI6��s control.


    So, how about we negotiate terms?


    I have an account with 20 million US dollars in it. If you let me go, its password will be ��. "


    Roan smiled and shook his head. He ignored the other conditions Salls said later. He stood up and left his seat and walked towards Michelle who was driving, and asked:


    ��How far is it?��


    Michelle looked at the time and replied:


    ��There��s still five minutes to go.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An nodded and took out his cell phone, found a phone number and called it:


    ��Sir, it��s me, Luo An. The mission was successful and the target person has been captured.


    ?Also, I need help with one thing..."


    ?The bus drove straight and soon arrived at a building in the northwest of Brasilia. This is one of the annexes of the Federal Embassy in Brazil and is actually the official office base of the CIA.


    Let Winslow, Chenier and others **** Salles to other rooms, and Roan took Mona into the annex.


    Deep in a conference room, Roland, a CIA agent, was standing at the conference table, talking to a white man in a suit, with half black and half white hair but meticulously combed, and wearing glasses who looked to be in his fifties. .


    ??Seeing Luo An open the door and walk into the room, the white man''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately walked up and stretched out his hand and said with a smile:


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    ?Luo An reached out and shook hands with the other person. The white man then turned his eyes to Mona behind Luo An, with a look of emotion on his face:


    ��You must be Mona. I didn��t expect that time passed so quickly and you started working in the FBI.��


    ?Mona stretched out her hand and briefly shook the white man��s hand:


    ��Hello, Uncle Quinnell.��


    ??The white man with half black and half white hair is named Lewis Quinnier, and he is a friend of Mona''s father, Javari Evans.


    Having worked in the CIA for most of their lives, neither Mona nor Caroline knew how many friends Javari Evans had.


    ??Quinier and Mona exchanged a few simple words of emotion, and finally turned their attention back to Luo An and said with a smile:


    ��When Gyawali called me, he sounded very unhappy. He said he didn��t like you very much.��


    Roan smiled, sat down with Kunil, and replied smoothly:


    ��I know, especially after he failed to beat me in drinking last time we drank together, he disliked me even more.��


    "Hahaha-"


    ?Quenir clapped his hands and laughed, pointed at Luo An, and said continuously:


    ��Very good, I like young people like you!


    How about it? Are you interested in working here? My work here is very free and very passionate, and it is always suitable for young people to participate! "


    ?Mona rolled her eyes silently in her heart, and Luo An was also speechless.


    The freedom in the CIA''s words means long working hours and multiple locations, and passion means a high degree of danger.


    ?This kind of statement is similar to exporting high-end talents to society. Luo An doesn''t believe a word of it.


    Without further discussion on this topic, Luo An quickly got down to business, and Quinnier said in a deep voice:


    ��MI6 asked to meet with you. In addition, MI6 said that if Sarles is caught by us, we will hand him over to them immediately.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 650： End, return to the Federation, clear

    Chapter 650 ends, return to the Federation, clear


    ��MI6 is asking us to hand people over to them?��


    After Quenier finished speaking, Mona immediately raised her eyebrows and almost laughed out loud.


    Since the end of World War II, the British Empire has gradually changed from an empire that cannot afford to be an empire to an empire that cannot afford to be an empire, and it is gradually slipping rapidly in the direction of being unable to afford an empire.


    ??Mona, who likes to travel in the databases of major law enforcement agencies, knows all about this matter, so her attitude towards the British Kingdom does not have the "Shakespearean fantasy" of ordinary federal people towards Britain, and she even looks down upon it.


    This is another reason why Mona and Caroline don''t get along. Caroline has always been fond of the British Empire and likes to go to the British Empire to participate in some art exhibitions, auctions, etc., so the two girls have had many quarrels in this regard in the past. .


    Luo An next to him looked calm. It was not that he had guessed this, but that these words were very consistent with the style of some British Empire government officials.


    After World War II, the economy and politics of the British Empire were in a slump. However, after all, it was one of the world''s hegemons. Many people in the British Empire are still immersed in the past. The idea that "everything outside London is countryside" still exists.


    After all, you can''t wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, and they may even like it.


    ��You want me to hand the person over����


    Roan crossed his hands on his thighs, looked at Kunir and asked:


    ��Did MI6 say any quid pro quo?��


    ?Quenir smiled and said:


    "But they will not exchange this information until we hand the person over to them."


    ? Leonardo has a special status, and the role he can play can be large or small, it all depends on who uses it. The CIA is an old player in this area.


    Roland quickly answered Luo An��s question, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude to Luo An.


    ??As the agent who sent Leonardo to the CIA intact, coupled with Luo An''s intentional compliments and the CIA''s intention to sell Luo An''s favor, Roland can definitely leave the field and enter management after this operation is over.


    This was completely nonsense. Later, Luo An asked Mona to investigate carefully in the CIA database. It didn��t take long for Mona to find a lot of information related to Sarles, including part of Sarles. Arms depot location.


    Because of their FBI status, Luo An and others will naturally return to the Federation after their mission, while Roland will continue to stay outside the Federation.


    What Roan did was simple. He handed Leonardo to Roland and asked Roland to take Leonardo to meet his superiors.


    So this discussion did not take long. Calculated according to the black market price, the total value of Sarles�� underground arms was about 5.7 million U.S. dollars. Quinnier agreed without much hesitation. Anyway, MI6 paid for it in the end.


    After the matter was discussed, Quenier reached out and shook hands with Luo An. Luo An raised the corner of his mouth, then turned his eyes to Roland aside and asked:


    ??Luo An sneered and shook his head speechlessly, too lazy to pay attention to these members of the British Empire government who were so provocative and used as a stir-fry that was integrated into their bones.


    ��I told you something, like you can give us some information, etc.��


    ? Seeing that Luo An didn��t care about the so-called MI6 at all, Quinnier, who had the same attitude, couldn��t hide his smile.


    ?However, there are some things that MI6 still need to discuss, such as the arms under Sarls.


    ��The money will arrive within two months.��


    In the corridor outside the conference room, Kunil left first. The "emotional perception" in his mind noticed Roland''s crazy increase in goodwill and other positive emotions. Luo An''s lips raised slightly, shook Roland''s hand and smiled:


    ��Next time we go back to the Federation, let��s go out for a drink together.��


    ��How is Leonardo?��


    Before the start of this case, the CIA had discussed with Luo An the distribution of benefits after the case was over.


    ?When he first met with Roland, Roland said that the CIA did not know the specific location where Salers stored the arms.


    ?? As for whether Salers should be handed over to MI6, Luo An and Quinnier had a tacit understanding and did not discuss it.


    ��He is fine and is currently resting.��


    "must!"


    Roland nodded seriously with a serious expression. Then he suddenly thought of something. He took out a metal box from his pocket and quietly handed it to Roan, and whispered:


    ��Here are twenty defective positioning chips. The defective products here do not mean that they cannot be used, but that their signal transmission frequency band is somewhat unstable, so they were eliminated by the CIA Technology Department.


    ?But this also means that they can be modified, and as long as you find a professional, you can change them to a frequency band that only you can receive. "


    After the modification is successful, they become positioning equipment that only belongs to Luo An.


    ??This function doesn''t seem to be of much help to the FBI''s work, but Luo An''s eyes moved slightly and thought of something, and he silently put the metal box into his pocket.


    ?The two chatted briefly for a while, then Luo An turned around and left with Mona, heading to the building not far away to meet Winslow and others.


    ?Veriness has contacted relevant personnel to arrange a flight, which is expected to depart in three hours.


    ?The journey went smoothly. At 7:30 in the evening, the plane arrived at an airport in Washington, D.C. The agents of the 13th Investigation Team got off the plane, got into the car arranged by Veranith, and began to move to the FBI''s Washington headquarters.


    Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the familiar headquarters building. Winslow and Lacey sent Sarles to the temporary prison. The others temporarily returned to the No. 13 Investigation Team office area to stand by. Luo An went to Veranie. Si''s office.


    ��Well done, Roan.��


    ??Seeing the familiar face of Luo An in the office, Veranith felt a little relieved while constantly praising him.


    Because he was worried about leaking information such as his whereabouts and action plan, from the time he left the hotel in Texas until Luo An and others arrived in Brazil, Luo An never contacted Veranith. All the agents of the 13th Investigation Team Cell phones also had their batteries removed.


    ??So during this period, Luo An and his team lost contact at the FBI headquarters in Washington.


    ?Before the operation, Luo An had left emergency contact information for Veranith, saying that as long as he did not make that call, he would be safe and there would be no problem.


    ??But Renes, who has never been able to contact anyone, is still restless, and her temper has become slightly stronger these days.


    ?Seeing Luo An''s successful return, Veranith finally let go of the stone in her heart and asked about the actions of this case as usual.


    ��"That''s it, sir."


    ??Luo An picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. He raised his brows and secretly thought that the coffee here in Verenis was better. Then he put down the coffee cup and said with a smile:


    ��Saers has been captured by us, and Agent Roland will negotiate with MI6 about her mother.


    In addition, Sarles has no children, partners or emotional objects, so this matter should end here. "


    Veranith nodded first, then shook her head, and said in a deep voice:


    ��In the past two years, you have solved many cases.


    In addition to those lone murderers, serial murderers, etc., there are also many members of organized crime.


    ??Some of the organizations behind these people have not been cleared out, so you still need to be more careful. "


    "I see."


    ? Luo An��s expression remained unchanged. After the Salles incident happened, he began to think about how to avoid similar things.


    Finally, Luo An made up his mind and planned to go back and investigate the cases he had handled with Mona to see if there was any possibility of revenge behind other suspects.


    "And one more thing."


    ?Veriness handed Luan a folder:


    ��Your No. 13 Investigation Team office area will be cleared soon.��


    ?)


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 651： Special investigation team office area

    Chapter 651 Special Investigation Team Office Area


    ?Luo An took the folder, frowned slightly and asked:


    ��What does ��to be cleared out�� mean?��


    Veranith chuckled lightly and asked:


    ��Have you seen the detectives of the Special Investigation Team or the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team in this building?��


    Luo An was stunned for a moment. He had not observed this matter carefully before. When Veranith mentioned it, he remembered that although he knew that there was a special investigation team, there were basically no people from the No. 13 Investigation Team on weekdays. Saw them.


    Seeing that Luo An was a little confused, Veranith smiled and explained:


    ��Special investigation team, as you can tell from the name, is an investigation team specially established to deal with certain cases.


    �� When handling cases, most special investigation teams need to cooperate with many other law enforcement agencies, such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Enforcement Administration (DEA), etc. "


    Compared with other ordinary investigation teams, the special investigation team is more like a multi-department joint action investigation team, often temporarily coordinating and recruiting agents from other law enforcement departments based on specific cases.


    ?The FBI will recruit people from departments such as the DEA, and the DEA and other departments will sometimes recruit agents from the FBI, which results in most special investigation teams having a very large number of members.


    ��The offices inside the FBI headquarters in Washington are very expensive, and it is impossible to free up so much space for so many people.��


    Veranith explained:


    "you say."


    ?The majority of the rent is generally borne by the main department behind the special investigation team. Luo An and others are from the FBI, so the money will naturally be allocated by the FBI.


    ��Long live! Luo An, you are so handsome!��


    ��So, these special investigation teams have always found their own places and constructed their own office areas outside to handle cases.


    Looking down at the document carefully, Luo An found that in addition to requiring him to lead a special investigation team and go to that building to find a place to set up an office, there was also a rental allocation.


    Winslow and Lacey have returned to Investigation Team 13. Everyone was gathering together to chat. Luo An opened the door and walked in to attract everyone''s attention. He waved his hand and said directly:


    Considering that when encountering new cases in the future, there is a high probability that members from other law enforcement departments will be temporarily transferred to the team, Luo An closed the folder and smiled at Veranith:


    ��Thank you, sir.��


    Over time, these special investigation teams were basically gathered in one building, that is, the tall building 800 meters west of the FBI headquarters in Washington. "


    ??This arrest of Sarles cost a lot of money to handle the case, and Luo An also needed to compile documents and submit them to Veranith.


    ��Luo An, I have a question.��


    Winslow and Chenie��s eyes suddenly lit up, Michelle��s face was full of surprise, and Lacey��s face was full of excitement and she shouted:


    ��Thank you for your hard work.��


    After listening to Luo An��s description, everyone present suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Chenelle began to check the specific contents of the file with Mona. Lacey next to her thought about it and said with a strange expression:


    Veranith smiled and picked up the coffee and took a sip. The two continued to chat for a while. Luo An stood up with the folder and returned to the office area of ??Investigation Team 13.


    ??Mona was also very happy and took the document from Luo An''s hand. She frowned slightly:


    ��The office area of ??Investigation Team No. 13 has been cleared?!��


    ��Tomorrow and the next two days are off, everyone should have a good rest!��


    Lacey��s cheering movement paused, Winslow and others were also slightly startled, Luo An smiled and waved his hand:


    ��Don��t think too much, it��s not a bad thing.��


    ?In addition, the fund allocation in the document is a bit large, and the proportion is roughly based on the office area of ??15 people. Luo An''s Investigation Team No. 13 currently only has 6 people including him.


    Because the building belongs to the federal Ministry of Justice, these special investigation teams still need to pay rent to work in it.


    After Veranith''s introduction, Luo An suddenly realized that it was his first time to come to the FBI headquarters in Washington. When he passed the building, he was still wondering what company was inside and why there was no sign.


    ��What?��


    ��Why do we always change venues?��


    Lacey counted on her fingers:


    ��From Investigation Team 5 in New York, to the Special Investigation Team in Los Angeles, to Investigation Team 13 at the Washington headquarters, and now to the Special Investigation Team.


    We never seem to be in the same place for more than a year. "


    Luo An was also a little speechless. After thinking about it, he smiled and said:


    "Think about it from another perspective, we are always driving new cars and using new equipment." When he was in New York, Luo An earned a lot of equipment for the No. 5 Investigation Team, such as laptops, new cars, etc., and when he left the No. 5 Investigation Team, they All stayed in New York.


    ?While in Los Angeles, Luo An earned more things for the Special Investigation Team, including new cars, SUVs, weapons and equipment, and even tables, chairs and benches.


    ??When leaving Los Angeles for Washington, Luo An did not waste these things, and resold them all to Morton York, the leader of the No. 4 Investigation Team, at a 10% discount.


    ?Morton-York was helpless and speechless about this, because those tables, chairs, benches, and even the whiteboard were what they were forced to give to Luo An at the beginning, but Luo An actually sold them back.


    ? ?Investigation Team 13 was later established. The equipment, computers, tables and chairs in the office area of ??the FBI''s Washington headquarters were all allocated by Mr. Clement. Luo An only had the right to use them but not ownership.


    ??However, Luo An asked casually just now, and Veranith said that these equipment can be obtained from the special investigation team later, and there is no need to buy them again, successfully saving a lot of money.


    Everyone had fun for a while, then packed up their things and left the office area, driving back to their respective residences.


    A three-story villa in a community northwest of the FBI headquarters in Washington.


    "Finally home."


    ?After putting on her shoes and walking into the living room, Mona leaned forward and buried herself in the sofa. Her body went limp and she made a comfortable sound:


    ��It��s still comfortable at home.��


    "Yeah yeah."


    Luo An, who had also changed into slippers, chuckled, lay down beside Mona, pushed Mona off the sofa, and said with emotion:


    ��I��ve been exhausted these past few days.��


    ?)


    Mona, who was pushed to the ground, was stunned for a moment. She reacted and grabbed a pillow, baring her teeth in displeasure and smashing it at Luo An.


    ��Don��t fight! I was wrong!��


    ?Luo An smiled and quickly raised his hand to block Mona��s pillow:


    ��My injury is not healed yet!��


    In the previous battle, Luo An was shot in the shoulder. Although he took out the bullet and bandaged it afterwards, in order not to attract other people''s attention, Luo An did not take the [Regeneration Potion], and the wound on his shoulder was still tightly bandaged. Tightly wound.


    "snort!"


    ??Mona snorted. Of course she remembered this, so she didn��t intend to use force and lightly hit Luo An��s head with the pillow. She stood up and walked to the kitchen and asked:


    ��What��s for dinner tonight? I��ll do it.��


    ��How about we go out to eat later?��


    ��I was so tired that I finally got home and didn��t want to go out.��


    ��How about beef and potatoes?��


    ��OK, I��ll add two more lamb chops.��


    After the discussion, Mona''s chef Luo An occasionally helped her, and the two of them started to enjoy dinner after the food was ready.


    Opening a bottle of milk and looking at it to make sure it was not expired, Luo An poured it into a cup, walked back to the table and asked casually:


    ��Have you contacted Caroline recently?��


    ��Contacted.��


    ??Mona picked up a piece of beef with a fork and said while eating:


    ��She is looking into starting a company.��


    "what company?"


    ��It seems to be a clothing design company.��


    ??Mona replied:


    ��She wanted me to become a shareholder, but I didn��t agree.��


    Chatting while eating dinner, they took a short break after eating and then went back to the house to rest.


    The next morning, Luo An was playing with the computer when he suddenly received a call:


    ��Good morning, Mr Greenwood, it��s me, Michael Bray, do you have a moment? We need to meet.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 652： Wall Streets windfall

    Chapter 652: Windfall on Wall Street


    ?New York, a cafe off Wall Street.


    ?This cafe is not big, and soft piano music is playing. Luo An and Michael Bray are sitting face to face at a round table in the deepest part of the cafe. There is no one else here except them.


    ? Michael Bray, the head of Wall Street''s "Heritage Capital", Luo An had asked him for help before, buying financial products that shorted federal real estate (Chapter 575).


    ��The coffee in this cafe is very good, real Blue Mountain coffee.��


    Michael Bray picked up a metal spoon and stirred it in the coffee cup, and said with a smile:


    ��Apart from being expensive, there are no disadvantages.��


    Blue Mountain Coffee, one of the most expensive coffees in the world, Luo An picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, smacking his lips and frowning slightly:


    "Well enough."


    The taste is dense, rich and fragrant. This was Luo An��s first experience with Blue Mountain coffee.


    ??Moreover, the coffee itself has the right amount of sweet, sour, and bitter flavors, so it has no bitter taste at all and only has an indescribable sour taste.


    ??Luo An��s eyebrows jumped. When he heard the name Bernard Madoff, he would subconsciously think of the word Ponzi scheme.


    Michael Bray didn''t talk nonsense when he saw this. He looked around to make sure there was no one around. He coughed lightly and leaned forward, lowering his voice and asked:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, have you heard of Bernard Madoff?��


    The previous Ponzi scheme case, and Supervisor Elmer came to him for help. Although he did not meet Bernard Madoff specifically, he has never forgotten the name.


    ?Blue Mountain Coffee is indeed expensive and tastes good, but Luo An really doesn''t like the sour taste that is always lingering in his mouth.


    But the price he sold it for was only two-thirds of the market price.


    ��Since Team Leader Luo An knows about it, I won��t introduce him anymore.��


    ? Today I heard from Michael Bree that Bernard Madoff was selling CDS at a low price. Luo An had two first reactions:


    ?Either Bernard Madoff had a problem with his capital chain, and he started selling financial products to withdraw funds.


    ��Luo An��s team leader, Bernard Madoff, has recently been selling CDS, a financial product, through internal channels.


    ?Either Bernard Madoff may have sensed something was wrong and was about to do something about it.


    You know what CDS is a financial product, so I won��t go into details. I came to you today just to ask if you would like to add money to buy CDS from Bernard Madoff. After all, this is a rare opportunity! "


    ? Michael Bray moved his chair closer to Luo An, his voice lower than before:


    ??Director Elmer of the IRS has currently launched an investigation and evidence collection activity against Bernard Madoff, but no one has been arrested yet.


    ? Luo An has always been sensitive to sour tastes, and he doesn��t like eating sour things on weekdays.


    After taking a sip, Luo An did not continue to taste it. He briefly chatted a few words to bring the topic to the point, and asked with a smile:


    ��What do you want to see me for today?��


    ����


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows, this name was too familiar to him.


    ����


    With a flash of thoughtfulness in his eyes, Luo An nodded and replied:


    ��Bernard Madoff is the former chairman of Nasdaq, of course I��ve heard of him.��


    ?Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind instantly. Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he did not answer Michael Bray immediately. He asked instead:


    ��Where did you get this news?��


    ??Michael Bray thought that Luo An was doubting the truth of the matter and was a little worried. He immediately patted his chest and said that it was absolutely fine, and then lowered his voice and said:


    ��On Wall Street, stocks are not valuable, and information is the most valuable item.


    As long as there is a demand, there will be a market, and information is no exception.


    So on Wall Street, information is also a commodity on the shelf, and it is more expensive than stocks! "


    ??Luo An frowned slightly. Since information can be sold, it is probably not a secret that Bernard Madoff is running a Ponzi scheme. Luo An shook his head and smiled silently in his heart. Sure enough, there are no fools on Wall Street, they are all smart people, but these smart people are more greedy.


    Michael Bray picked up the coffee and took a sip:


    ��So, this is a rare opportunity. Leader Luo An, do you want to continue to invest in the purchase?��


    ?Luo An shook his head:


    ��Thank you for the message, but no thanks.��


    ?Luo An also has greed in his heart, he also likes money, and he also likes to see the numbers in his account increase.


    But compared to greed, Luo An is more cautious.


    ? Bernard Madoff has been targeted by Director Elmer of the IRS and the FBI for running a Ponzi scheme. If he is caught later, all his assets will be completely frozen.


    Those CDS that Bernard Madoff sold at low prices, no one knew whether he had tampered with them or which links.


    It''s not a bad thing. Once he does something, he will be frozen by the IRS, which will be too embarrassing, and it will be very troublesome later.


    ��OK.��


    Hearing Luo An''s rejection, Michael Bray smiled and didn''t care. He simply told Luo An the news, and it was up to the other party to decide whether to buy it or not.


    Michael Bray then took out a document from his briefcase, opened it and handed it to Roan and introduced:


    ��This is the CDS product you purchased, Team Leader Luo An, the premiums in the past two months, etc.��


    ?The premium for the past two months was US$1.35 million. Michael Bray had already transferred the money to the bank. Luo An checked for a moment and found that there was no problem, so he put the documents away.


    ? Michael Bray went on to say that the CDS he purchased for Luo An were BBB grade, which is the lower grade.


    ? During this period, through buying low, selling high, and exchanging in batches, Michael Bray successfully raised these BBB levels to AA levels.


    ??Grades aa and bbb are the evaluation standards set by Wall Street rating agencies. Grade c is the lowest and grade aaa (level 3a) is the highest.


    Taking out another folder and handing it to Luo An, Michael Bray smiled quite proudly:


    ��Previously, Group Leader Luo An spent US$450 million to purchase BBB-level CDS products worth US$3 billion.


    After the level was upgraded to aa level, the value of these products increased from the original 3 billion to 4.123 billion.


    In addition, during the transaction process, a total of US$473 million of CDS of US$450 million was sold, with a profit of 23 million US dollars, or US$23 million.


    ??How does Team Leader Luo An plan to arrange this profit? Should you continue to invest in buying CDS, or withdraw it and transfer it back to your account? "


    "Wow."


    Looking at the numbers in the folder, Luo An suddenly raised his eyebrows.


    ? He ??originally thought that the US$450 million would sit quietly for more than ten months, waiting for the subprime mortgage crisis to erupt and the real estate crash.


    Unexpectedly, Michael Bray''s operation was so simple. Not only did he sell low-grade CDs to other buyers, but he also bought high-grade CDs to upgrade Luo An''s CDs. He also made more than 2,000 yuan for him during the sale process. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.


    With the corner of his mouth raised, Luo An handed the document back to Michael Bray and said with a smile:


    ��Continue to buy CDS products and you will handle it.��


    ??Luo An is now more and more certain that his original judgment was correct. It is indeed better and more useful to find professional fund managers to help invest than to wander around in the market by himself.


    The more than 20 million US dollars and product upgrades during this period are evidence of this.


    "no problem."


    ? Michael Bray smiled and took back the folder. He also had a commission for helping Luo An make money. It was a win-win situation for both of them.


    After chatting for a while, Michael Bray got up and left first. The saying "time equals money" was completely literal to him.


    ?? Luo An left the cafe and got into the car. He pondered for a few seconds, took out his mobile phone and found a number to call. The call was quickly connected, and a male voice came out:


    ��This is Elmer.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 653： System Harvest, Insomnia Building

    Chapter 653 System Harvest, Insomnia Building


    ?More than three hours later, in Washington, D.C., by a river in a park.


    ??Luo An was sitting on a bench beside the path, lowering his head and playing with the computer. After waiting for a long time, a man walked over quickly from a distance.


    "Feel sorry."


    Director Elmer sat down next to Luo An, took a deep breath and said apologetically:


    ��I was a little busy with work at hand, so I came a little late.��


    "understand."


    ?Luo An smiled and picked up a bottle of drink and handed it to him. The IRS had a very heavy workload on weekdays. As the supervisor, Elmer sometimes had more work to do.


    "Thanks."


    Director Elmer took the drink and thanked him. He unscrewed the lid and took a sip. He asked directly:


    ��What brings you to me?��


    ��It��s nothing, I just got some news. It��s not convenient to tell it on the phone.��


    ��I heard that your Investigation Team No. 13 has been upgraded to a special investigation team and will be moved to the Insomnia Building, right?��


    ��We at the IRS are sometimes temporarily seconded to work in that building. According to them, the people in that building are very stressed.


    If you don''t get enough sleep, you need to supplement it. But if you do it more often, it will become more and more difficult to fall asleep, and eventually it will turn into insomnia, so this building got the nickname "Insomnia Building". "


    Luo An raised his eyebrows, surprised and confused:


    ��Where did this nickname come from?��


    If the floor you choose is too high, the elevator will most likely get stuck because other departments are using it, and you will eventually be forced to take the stairs. "


    ??Luo An��s mouth twitched and he was speechless. Director Elmer smiled and then said:


    ?Luo An put down the computer and briefly described Bernard Madoff''s sale of CDS products at low prices, and finally said:


    "You''re welcome."


    ��Did you do something to attract his attention?��


    ��No, we definitely didn��t get his attention.��


    After hearing the description, Director Elmer''s face suddenly darkened. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and denied Luo An''s inquiry. Then he stretched out his hand and shook Luo An''s hand, and said seriously:


    ��Thank you, Roan, this news is very important to us.��


    ��By the way, let me tell you something.


    ����


    ?When you go to that building to choose an office area, remember to choose the area from the 6th floor down.


    Roan smiled. This matter was just a casual matter to him. Just when he was about to ask about other things, Director Elmer''s eyes suddenly lit up and he asked first:


    ��Insomnia Building?��


    ?There are not many people in that building compared to many companies on the market, but law enforcement departments will encounter emergencies and sometimes need to make sudden missions to arrest people.


    ��It came from the people in that building.��


    ?Luo An frowned slightly:


    Elmer laughed and said:


    ?Although the salary is high, because the cases are complicated, black and white are often confused, long overtime work is normal, and 80% of people do not get enough sleep.


    ��I remember that building, it seemed to have more than twenty floors.��


    Director Elmer smiled and said:


    ��To be exact, it��s the 26th floor. If you��re really unlucky and the elevator gets stuck, running down from the 20th floor is outrageous.��


    ��OK, I understand.��


    ?? Luo An smiled and nodded, silently writing down the matter. After a while, the two of them left separately. Director Elmer went back to continue working, and Luo An drove back to the villa to continue resting.


    ??In the villa, Mona was hugging a pillow, huddled up on the sofa and playing with the computer. When she saw Luo An coming back, she asked casually:


    ��Where did you go just now? Did you bring back anything to eat?��


    ��Went to New York.��


    Luo An replied casually, then sat down next to Mona and stretched his waist:


    ��I didn��t buy any snacks, let��s go out to eat together in the evening.��


    ��No, I don��t want to go out. It��s quite comfortable lying at home.��


    "Um?"


    ?Luo An straightened up and looked at Mona, smiling:


    ��Why do I feel that you have a tendency to develop into a home girl?��


    ��Where there is.��


    ??Mona pushed Tyrann:


    ��I just don��t want to wear makeup.��


    "All right."


    ?Leaning closer to Mona, Luo An looked at her computer and asked:


    ��What are you doing?��


    "Um��"


    ?Mona had a flash of embarrassment in her eyes, and replied after a moment of hesitation:


    ��I am reading and learning.��


    Luo An immediately guessed something, and looked at Mona expressionlessly: "Where is the knowledge? From the DEA (Interpretation Bureau) or the CIA?"


    ?Mona smiled awkwardly:


    ��No, this time it��s the BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons)��


    Luo An rubbed his temples helplessly, but Mona always knew how to measure and knew where the line was, so she simply stopped asking in detail and lay down on the sofa with her eyes closed to rest. At the same time, she opened the system page in her mind. .


    In the familiar light blue page, in [Explosion Case] ??and [Salles Case], the system rated Luo An as [Excellent], and he has accumulated a total of 20 treasure chests.


    ?The treasure chest was opened with slight movements of consciousness. The rough cutscene ended, and [Stamina Potion x3] was opened in each of the 20 treasure chests.


    ��Hemostatic Agent x4��


    ��Swift Potion x3��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x2��


    ��Regeneration Potion x3��


    ��Featherfall Potion x4��


    ��Antidote x1��


    Then open the system warehouse page, which now contains [Stamina Potion x8]


    ��Hemostatic Agent x8��


    ��Antidotex6��


    ��Swift Potion x8��


    ��Regeneration Potion x7��


    ��Strength Potion x4��


    ��Sensitive agent x1��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x8��


    ��Featherfall Potion x7��


    ��Scuba Potion x3��


    Twenty treasure chests did not contain [Danger Sensing Potion], which made Luo An feel a little unhappy. However, when he saw that the number behind [Regeneration Potion] changed to 7, his mood improved a bit.


    ��Luo An? Luo An?��


    ??Just as Luo An was thinking about the effectiveness of these potions, Mona patted his thigh to divert his attention. Luo An opened his eyes and asked:


    "What''s wrong?"


    Mona handed a calendar to Luo An and said:


    ��Today is Lacey��s birthday in two months. Have you thought about what gift to give her?��


    "not yet."


    Luo An has memorized the basic information of everyone in the No. 13 Investigation Team. Naturally, he also remembers Lacey��s birthday, but he still remembers it. What kind of gift to give is really a problem for Luo An.


    ?But fortunately, there are still two months to prepare, so there is no need to rush for the time being. After a few words with Mona, Luo An put the matter behind for the time being.


    The two of them finally went out to eat in the evening, because they didn��t have much meat and vegetables at home and needed to replenish some.


    ??After another day of rest, on the third day Luo An led the agents of the No. 13 Investigation Team to the building to select an office area.


    ?While walking inside the building, Luo An observed carefully and indeed noticed the problem with the elevator.


    Finally, following the suggestion of Director Elmer, Luo An selected an area at the deepest level of the fifth floor as the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    The next step is to clean up, move equipment, and handle document handover procedures.


    ?These things are not difficult but very time-consuming. In addition, there is no need to rush if there is no emergency, so the agents slowly sorted it out for three days.


    The finished office area is more spacious and brighter than before.


    In contrast, the planned area for fifteen people currently only has five people and it seems a bit empty. Lacey touched her chin and thought for a while, clapped her hands and suggested:


    ��How about we buy some pots of green plants? They look good and can purify the air.��


    ��I think it��s okay.��


    ?Winslow nodded, and Chenelle agreed, and they immediately got together to discuss the varieties of green plants.


    ?Michelle looked around and found Luo An, so she asked:


    ��Where��s Luo An?��


    ��He went to a meeting.��


    ?Mona replied casually:

 Chapter 654： MI6, negotiation, 1.4 million

    Chapter 654 MI6, Negotiation, 1.4 million


    ?9:30 a.m., FBI headquarters in Washington, a conference room deep on the first floor.


    To the left of the conference table stood three men and women in black suits with light blue signs hanging around their necks.


    The man headed by the leader looks to be about forty years old. He is very tall and has a long face. The most noticeable thing is his hair. The long golden hair on the top of his head is very sparse, just one step away from the Mediterranean hairstyle.


    Roan glanced at the two slightly younger-looking men and women behind him and withdrew his gaze, then walked to Veranith on the right side of the conference table and said with a smile:


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    Veranith looked at her watch:


    "you are late."


    ��I just moved to the building next door. The distance is too long and there is some traffic jam.��


    Luo An, without a red face and a heartbeat, made a casual excuse, saying that the 800-meter distance was too far and it would take time to drive. He could see that Veranith was not angry. This sentence was just to give an explanation to the three people opposite.


    ?Martinez frowned slightly:


    ��Joint interrogation?��


    ��Hello, Mr. Martinez.��


    ?They say they are from the embassy, ??but they are actually from MI6. Luo An and Veranith know this very well, but they are too lazy to expose each other.


    ?The somewhat bald Martinez smiled and stretched out his hand to Luo An:


    As expected, Veranith nodded and did not say more on this topic. She stretched out her hand and briefly introduced both parties:


    Saers has confessed and admitted that she killed the other party, and she also told us the specific location.


    "Yes, I can go to the monitoring room next to her and keep an eye on Sarles at all times. I will never give her a chance to get angry and hurt you."


    After shaking hands, Luo An asked directly:


    ��I don��t know if Mr. Martinez came to see me today. Is there anything he needs my help with?


    Even so, I will try my best to help if I can. "


    ��We hope to interrogate Salls alone.��


    ��As expected of Team Leader Luo An, who has superb case-handling abilities, he is really quick-tongued and quick-tongued.��


    ??Martinez, from the British Empire Embassy in the Commonwealth. "


    Martinez smiled and complimented Luo An, and they sat on chairs. He said:


    ��As far as we know, Salers has been brought back to the Federation by Leader Luo An, right?


    We hope that Team Leader Luo An can cooperate with us to interrogate Salls together. "


    ?Luo An grinned, showing a standard eight-tooth fake smile, and stretched out his hand to briefly shake the other person''s hand.


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��Hello, Team Leader Luo An.��


    ��Roan Greenwood, leader of the special investigation team.


    ??If Mr. Martinez needs it, I can give you the interrogation record. It''s just a phone call for this trivial matter. Mr. Martinez doesn''t need to go there in person. "


    ��What information do you want to know? The darker-skinned female agent?


    Luo An nodded and said with a smile:


    ����Leader Luo An, my men are all excellent and there is no way they could be hurt by Salls.��


    ��You underestimate Salles? She is a woman who can kill MI6 agents! I must be responsible for your safety.��


    ����


    ?Seeing that Martinez was still making twists and turns in his words, Luo An also chose to pretend to be stupid, unable to understand, understand or understand.


    ?After a few rounds, Veranith sat beside her without saying a word, but the corner of her mouth raised an imperceptible arc. The smile on Luo An''s face was bright and sunny, making people feel very friendly.


    ??Martinez''s face was stiff and covered with black lines. The man and woman behind him also had ugly faces, and their eyes looking at Luo An were filled with displeasure.


    ?Looking at each other quietly for a moment, Martinez took a deep breath, finally stopped beating around the bush and said in a deep voice:


    ��Leader Luo An, we hope to **** Salls back to our British Empire for interrogation, and we also hope that you can cooperate with us.��


    Luo An grinned and asked: "What''s the benefit?"


    ?)


    ?Martinez was stunned for a moment, and the man and woman behind him also widened their eyes. They didn''t expect Luo An to be so direct.


    In the end, Martinez responded quickly. He immediately replied with a smile:


    ��As long as Salles is handed over to us, Leader Luo An will naturally gain the friendship of our British Empire.��


    Veranis next to her frowned slightly, while Luo An had a look of surprise on his face, and then he laughed:


    "As long as Mr. Martinez stops talking to me about Salles, Mr. Martinez will definitely gain my friendship."


    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Roan then turned to look at Verenis and said:


    ��Sir, the cost of this arrest of Salles has been calculated, and the amount is 1.4 million...2.4 million US dollars. When will this report be sent to you?��


    ��Let��s talk about it later, let��s talk about business first.��


    Veranith rolled her eyes at Luo An, who chuckled and nodded, then turned his attention to the three Martinez men again.


    ������x3


    ?At this time, Martinez''s face had completely darkened, and the faces of the two men and women behind him were even darker.


    ??They can understand whatever Luo An means, and they can understand asking for money, but the obvious increase in price later is too much.


    ?With a slight cough, Martinez said in a deep voice:


    ��Leader Luo An, our British Empire and the Commonwealth have always cooperated closely in politics, economy and other aspects, and the cooperation process has been very pleasant..."


    ??Martinez said a lot. The general meaning is that the British Empire and the Commonwealth are good friends. What Roan did is not very good and will seriously damage the relationship between the two parties.


    ?Of course, Team Leader Luo An is young after all, and Martinez is generous and doesn''t care about the small mistakes of these young people. As long as Salles is handed over to them, he will forget what he said just now.


    Veranith narrowed her eyes slightly, Luo An was still smiling, and his smile became more kind and sunny, and he said softly:


    "Mr. Martinez, I can only say that based on the current situation, looking at the overall situation, looking at the past and present, taking into account the average level of the federation, and analyzing and summarizing, it may be concluded that, in summary, it may not be It''s too pleasant to listen to, no matter what, the development of things may be more subtle..."


    ? ? He talked about a lot of long and difficult sentences + nonsense for three minutes. After listening to this, Veranith''s eyes were dazed, the eyes of the two men were straight, and Martinez''s face was darkened, and his eyebrows were beating.


    ������So, do you understand? Mr. Martinez.��


    ?Luo An picked up the coffee and took a sip, then asked with a slight smile:


    ��If you don��t understand, I can say it again.��


    ����


    The air was quiet for a long time. Martinez and Luo An looked at each other for a moment, then slammed the table and stood up, opened the door and left the conference room with the two men and women.


    ��Really lacking in quality.��


    Close the open door, Luo An shook his head and walked back to the conference table, smiling:


    ��It seems that Mr. Martinez is used to getting free tickets, which is not good.��


    ��It was the number you said that scared him.��


    Veranith rolled her eyes at Luo An, picked up the coffee and took a sip, and asked:


    ��Is the cost this time definitely $1.4 million?��


    ��No, it��s actually $800,000.��


    ? Luo An spread his hands. He just felt that the British Empire was the old overlord after all. Although it was getting more and more stretched, it still had some wealth. It was impossible for MI6 not to be able to come up with that little money.


    ��It��s indeed a bit too much.��


    Veranith stood up and patted Luo An on the shoulder and said:


    ��Get me the report as soon as possible, the $1.4 million one.��


    ?Luo An frowned slightly:


    ��Do you really want to hand over Sarles to the British Empire?��


    ��We are the FBI and can only do what the FBI orders.��


    Veranith said calmly:


    ��This kind of thing must go through procedures and takes time. In addition, the CIA will also interrogate Sarles. We cannot make decisions for the CIA.��


    ? Luo An grinned and silently gave Veranith a thumbs up.

 Chapter 655： Ponzi scheme breaks out, Lacey’s party

    Chapter 655 Ponzi scheme breaks out, Lacey��s party


    ? Driving back to the "Insomnia Building" calmly, 800 meters away, he stepped on the accelerator and reached the end. Luo An took the elevator up, silently thinking about how to write a report worth 1.4 million US dollars.


    ��Everyone, I��m back.��


    Walking into the office area of ??the special investigation team, Luo An said hello loudly.


    ??All the responses that often appeared in the past disappeared. Luo An looked up and found that everyone had gathered around the small TV at the front of the office area.


    Luo An frowned slightly and walked over quickly:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��Something��s going on on Wall Street.��


    Lacie swallowed, turned around to make way for Luo An, and said with a complicated expression:


    ��Have you ever heard of Bernard Madoff? The former chairman of Nasdaq, he was arrested.


    This guy has been running a Ponzi scheme for the past few decades. "


    On the TV, a live broadcast of Bernard Madoff being taken away was being played.


    ?This is also the reason why Luo An did not choose to participate in this matter: the factions behind it are complex and there are many camps, and it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between enemies and teammates.


    At 4:30 pm on Friday, the agents finished their work and began to take a break, preparing to wait for the clock at the front of the office area to reach the end of the day.


    As an insider and the leader behind the whole matter, Luo An said quietly:


    ��No, it shouldn��t be said that it has not been discovered, but it should be said that it has only been exposed now.��


    ??The live broadcast on the TV is still going on. The reporters�� exclaims and inquiries alternate with the shouts and curses of passers-by in the background. The office area of ??the special investigation team is quiet, and everyone is silent and thinking silently.


    ?At the same time, Luo An also proposed to Director Elmer a plan that could protect the funds of middle-class families who were defrauded to the greatest extent.


    "Wow."


    ��So, there are no good people on Wall Street, it��s all liars and lunatics.��


    There were many reporters nearby holding microphones and shouting questions to Bernard Madoff like crazy. They were all stopped by the surrounding NYPD. Bernard Madoff himself lowered his head and said nothing.


    Lacie was more concerned about another thing. She frowned and asked:


    ��How did this Ponzi scheme last for more than 20 years without being discovered?��


    In the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, Chenille and Winslow were speechless. After thinking for a long time, they couldn''t think of a suitable adjective. Michelle next to them snorted and said:


    ?The two discussed the matter with the IRS director, and the three later brought in some top figures from other departments, and the multiple departments worked together to finally expose the matter. Director Elmer was just the vanguard in the public eye.


    ? It is naturally impossible for Elmer to be in charge of one person to promote this case and arrests, so Luo An had previously introduced Mr. Clement and FBI Director Robert to him.


    On the TV, the blond female host looked shocked and kept shouting "God". Behind her, many people shouted "God" while many more people yelled and greeted Bernard with various words. Madoff and his family.


    In the next few days, the front pages of major media outside were almost all occupied by this Ponzi scheme case that shocked the world.


    ?Luo An is still young. Unlike Director Elmer, who lacks a powerful thigh background and lacks great achievements, he will have plenty of opportunities in the future and there is no need to get involved in this matter.


    ??Luo An raised his eyebrows and sighed. He had just met with Director Elmer a few days ago and discussed Bernard Madoff''s sale of financial products at low prices. Unexpectedly, he started taking action today.


    While the detectives of the special investigation team were surprised and checked the subsequent development of the incident, they continued to deal with the aftermath of the bombing + Salers case, and there was still work to be done.


    ��Nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars, one of the largest funds in the world, is actually empty! The entire fund is even just a Ponzi scheme..."


    ��This is really����


    ?Although I cannot get back all the defrauded funds, it is better than not getting almost a penny in my previous life.


    The white man escorting Bernard Madoff next to him was a familiar face to Luo An, Supervisor Elmer.


    As the team leader, Luo An naturally had to lead by example, so he also walked out of the team leader''s office and started fishing and chatting with the agents.


    ��Everyone, everyone! Look at me, look at me!��


    At this moment, Lacey suddenly coughed and stood up, clapped her hands to attract everyone''s attention, and said loudly:


    ��I have an announcement!��


    Luo An stuffed a nut into his mouth and asked with a smile:


    ��What��s wrong? Are you getting married?��


    ��Almost, not far away.��


    Lacie chuckled, took out a few photos from behind her back, and shouted loudly:


    ��Everyone! The house I bought has been renovated!


    Tomorrow, Saturday night, everyone come to my villa together! Let''s have a party! "    "So fast? "


    "when?"


    Winslow��s face was full of surprise, and Chenelle and Michelle were also surprised. Lacey smiled and put her hands on her hips very proudly.


    The people of the Federation do not have a serious concept of new houses and old houses. The same house sometimes has many owners.


    ?For example, the house purchased by Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman and her husband when they got married has experienced three generations of owners before them.


    The house Lacey bought was not a new one. There had been a previous owner before her, so after Lacey bought the house, she directly removed all the previous owner''s decorations, and then asked the decoration company to replace it with her favorite style and decoration.


    ?While everyone was having fun in the office area, Lacey hugged Mona��s arm and grinned at Luo An:


    ��I��ll borrow Mona tomorrow. I��m the only one in that house. The party needs to be prepared and I need people.��


    ??Luo An spread his hands, and Mona agreed that he wouldn''t say anything. Then Luo An suddenly thought of something and asked:


    ��Besides the people from our investigation team, have you invited anyone else?��


    "certainly!"


    Lacie nodded naturally, she also had her own social circle.


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows:


    ��Aren��t they all women?��


    "How can it be?"


    ?Lacie looked unhappy:


    ��Although I��m lesbian, it doesn��t mean I don��t make friends with men, okay?��


    ��OK.��


    Looking at Winslow who was eating Lacey''s snacks next to him, Luoan grinned and nodded.


    ����


    In a villa community in the west of Washington, D.C., the villas here not only have independent lawns and trees, but the distance between each villa is also very far.


    Saturday, at 8:30 pm, in a villa at the southernmost end of the community, restless music buzzed and roared.


    Lacey stood by the swimming pool in a neutral outfit, holding a microphone and shouting:


    ��Girls, get excited!��


    ��Oh oh oh����


    ��Lacie! Lacey! Lacey!��


    On both sides of the swimming pool, more than thirty beautiful girls in simple clothes clapped and cheered wildly.


    ??Lacie laughed, dropped the microphone and rushed into the crowd, moving her left and right hands up and down. The place was suddenly filled with girls'' screams and laughter.


    ������x2


    At the other end of the swimming pool, Luo An and Winslow were sitting on beach chairs with black lines on their heads.


    In the huge villa, apart from the two male characters Luo An and Winslow, there is only one pet male dog brought by someone unknown.


    ??And a white man wearing ordinary shirts and shorts, with gray hair and a wrinkled face. He looked to be in his sixties and wore sunglasses late at night.


    ?Luo An picked up the beer and touched it with the strange man, and asked with a smile:


    ��Let me meet you, my name is Luo An.��


    The man took off his sunglasses and smiled:


    ��Just call me Piero, I am a friend of little Lacey, and I am a priest by profession.��

 Chapter 656： Liberation Theology, Mormonism

    Chapter 656 Liberation Theology, Mormonism


    "Priest?"


    Hearing this word, Winslow next to him suddenly turned his head in surprise, and then his eyes were filled with disbelief.


    ?Let��s not talk about his identity as a priest, which is somewhat inconsistent with Lacey��s yin and yang, restless mood at the villa party.


    ?Judging from his appearance alone, this old white man named Piero cannot be said to be well-dressed, but can only be said to be slovenly.


    ?The baggy shirt, baggy shorts, and somewhat unruly slippers really didn��t match the image of a priest in Winslow��s mind.


    ??Luo An relied on "emotional perception" to confirm that the other party was telling the truth, and asked with a smile:


    ��Is it possible for pastors to attend such parties?��


    ��You have misunderstood, child.��


    ?? Piero picked up the beer and took a big sip, wiped his mouth and said with a smile:


    ��I am indeed a pastor, but not the pastor you imagine. I am an evangelical pastor of liberation theology.��


    ��Liberation theology?��


    ?Winslow was a little confused. He didn''t know much about religion. He only knew some of the most common basic differences between Catholicism and Christianity.


    Roan was in awe when he heard this word, not because he admired Piero, but because he had heard of the theoretical concept of liberation theology.


    Whether it is Christianity or Catholicism, the core doctrine is that human beings are born sinful and need rescue and redemption.


    ?So, what is sin?


    ?The founder of liberation theology, he successfully combined biblical theory with Marxist theory, saying that exploitation is evil, class inequality, capitalism��s pursuit of profit maximization, and economic blood-sucking are all evil.


    ?These evils are contrary to the teachings advocated by God, so they need to be eliminated, that is, defeated, to liberate mankind.


    Liberation theology has internal logic that is self-consistent and well-founded. It is indeed very easy to convince others at a glance.


    But Roan understood the limitations of these religions and theories, so he ignored Piero��s subsequent suggestions and asked directly:


    ��When did you and Lacey meet?��


    ��Don��t be nervous, Team Leader Luo An.��


    Piero smiled and said:


    ��I am Lacey��s distant uncle, and I was passing through Washington, D.C., so I came to see her.


    ?While chatting with Lacey these days, I found that Lacey admires, trusts and even worships Team Leader Luo An.


    You are worried that I will be unfavorable to Lacey, and I am also worried that you will deceive Lacey, so I came to Lacey''s decoration party. "


    "Emotional Perception" confirmed that the other party was telling the truth. Luo An raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the beer bottle, touched it with the other party, and started chatting about other things.


    ?Except for some religious content, Piero''s other ideas are quite open. For example, Lacey''s sexual orientation is not a problem in his opinion. Instead, he thinks it is God''s unique gift to Lacey.


    As for other aspects, Piero��s cognitive perspective is not complicated in summary:


    Although I curse, drink, smoke, fight, and like women, I am a good believer who firmly believes in God.


    After chatting for a while, Piero finished the second bottle of beer, picked up the third bottle of beer, opened the lid, raised it and touched Luo An, and expressed his gratitude to Luo An with a serious face.


    Piero knew Lacey''s financial situation very well. Before meeting Roan, although she was diligent and frugal, her salary was so high that saving money would not make her rich quickly.


    So Lacey has been keeping the matter of buying a house in her heart. Her main goal at that time was to pay off her college loan. Piero himself was not rich, so it would be nice if he didn''t hold Lacey back. He couldn''t provide her with anything at all. help.


    After meeting Roan and following Roan and Mona to Los Angeles, Lacey''s financial situation improved rapidly, and even the remaining funds were transferred to Piero to help him.


    Piero��s face turned red and he drank wine:


    ��Thank you very much, Team Leader Luo An.��


    Roan smiled and was about to say something when Piero suddenly leaned forward and asked in a low voice:


    ��Leader Luo An, I can see that you are not very interested in the liberation theology that I believe in.


    ?But I have many friends. One of my friends is a Mormon pastor. He is the Mormon who allows polygamy and can marry as many wives as he wants.


    If you are interested, I can contact him and help you enter the Mormon Church. "


    Luo An: ������


    ���� ???The next day, Sunday, I still had a day off and did not go to work.


    Because the wound on his shoulder had recovered a lot, Luo An and Mona struggled for a long time after opening their eyes in the morning before they got up and walked out of the bedroom.


    The two of them were making breakfast...while making lunch, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang.


    ��It��s me, Elmer.��


    There was a familiar male voice on the phone, it was Director Elmer of the IRS.


    "good afternoon."


    ?Luo An grabbed a cooked oyster and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile:


    ��You��ve been in the news everywhere these days, the battle is really big.��


    ??If you were to make a list of the size and influence of news this year, the case of the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme would definitely be ranked in the top ten.


    As the apparent leading investigator of the case, Director Elmer naturally stole the show.


    ?Many media have focused their attention on him. While praising Director Elmer, almost all of his personal resume has been dug up.


    Seeing this content in the newspaper, Luo An became more and more sure that he had made the right choice.


    Supervisor Elmer��s resume over the years can only be described as average, and he has been praised by the media as ��the sharpest supervisor in the IRS.��


    ??If Luo An was really involved in this incident, and his 100% crime detection rate was revealed later, who knows how much the media would label him.


    ��Thank you for these things, Luo An.��


    There was unconcealable fatigue in Elmer''s voice on the other end of the phone, but his tone was very energetic when he spoke.


    ? Bernard Madoff had a very good attitude after being arrested and was very cooperative. He answered whatever was asked and not much time was wasted in interrogating him.


    The only problem lies in the funds in the foundation. Elmer was under great pressure to arrange the order in which the funds should be repaid to the victims in alphabetical order, instead of consortium banks first and middle-class families last.


    ??When Luo An saw the news, he was worried that Director Elmer would one day be shot in the back and commit suicide.


    ?But in the end Luo An was relieved because there were other people supporting Director Elmer. This was the result of a multi-party game.


    ��I can have a day off tonight.��


    After a few simple greetings, Director Elmer smiled and said:


    ��How about coming to my house for a meal? The lobster my wife makes will definitely make your mouth water!��


    ��Then I must try it.��


    Being invited by others to have dinner with your family has always been a sign of close relationship within the federal customs. Luo An did not refuse and agreed with a smile.


    "That `s a deal!"


    ??Supervisor Elmer laughed and continued to chat for a few words. Both parties hung up the phone. Luo An reached out and patted Mona beside him and said with a smile:


    ��There��s no need to cook tonight, let��s go to someone else��s house to eat lobster.��


    ??Mona asked casually while arranging the tableware:


    ��Is it Director Elmer of the IRS?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An nodded. Director Elmer��s invitation was obviously a token of his gratitude. Of course he would not refuse.


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona wiped her hands and sat down at the dining table, started having lunch with Luo An, and said:


    ��Then what gifts will we get when we go there at night?��


    ��How about the red wine?��


    Luo An replied casually. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang again. He pressed the answer button, and Veranith''s voice rang out:


    ��Luo An, come to my office, now.��

 Chapter 657： lost horror items

    Chapter 657 The lost horror item


    Sunday, 4:30 pm, Special Investigation Team Office.


    ?In the open area on the far side, Winslow was exercising with dumbbells, and Chenelle was counting and doing push-ups not far away from him.


    ?Michelle and Mona were sitting together playing with the computer. Lacey sat at her workstation and yawned loudly. She was a little too high last night and she still hasn''t had a good rest.


    ��I hate working overtime.��


    Lacie slumped in her chair and looked at Mona listlessly:


    ��Mona, do you know what happened this time?��


    "have no idea."


    ?Mona spread her hands, Luo An was called to the office by Veranith, and she helped call the rest of the people back.


    ��Perhaps another serial murder occurred somewhere.��


    Winslow finished a set of exercises, put down the dumbbells, walked over, picked up the water, took a sip, and said:


    ��What you said makes sense.��


    ��When I rushed to this building just now, I saw on the news that another bank robbery had occurred in southern New York, and a large amount of money had been robbed.��


    Lacie: ������


    So this case should be of the same type as the cases we have handled in the past. "


    ??Lacie nodded, quickly moved her chair back to her work station, picked up her clothes and put them on the table to prepare for bed.


    ��We��ll find out when Luo An comes back.��


    ��This is Ms. Modlin from the federal military. She will work with us on this case.��


    When Luo An comes back, it��s not certain whether he will be able to rest tonight. "


    Chenelle next to her put forward her own ideas:


    ��Hello everyone, my name is Ophelia Modlin.��


    Lacey complained with a speechless face, and Michelle next to her carefully analyzed:


    ��From the Special Investigation Team, to Investigation Team 13, to some time ago, we have handled many types of cases.


    Lacie spread her hands:


    ��Homicide, murder, serial killing, bombing, bank robbery... we have dealt with too many cases.��


    ��But which one exactly?��


    ��Could it be a bank robbery?��


    ??But before she could lie down, the door of the special investigation team''s office area was suddenly pushed open, and Luo An walked in with a strange woman with an expressionless face.


    ��That��s New York. It��s normal to have bank robberies. It��s abnormal to have bank robberies.��


    ��Everyone, please introduce me.��


    ��This kind of thing happens every month in the federation. Maybe it will be another case that has been left in the dust for more than ten years or even decades.��


    ?Mona smiled and patted Lacey on the shoulder and said:


    ��I suggest you take a good rest while you still have nothing to do.


    ??Verenice was so anxious to call Luo An over this time, probably because of our experience.


    ??Walking to the front of the office area, Luo An briefly introduced everyone:


    ??The white woman looks about forty years old, with brown hair and a neat ponytail. She looks like a military person when she walks or stands. After Luo An introduced her, she nodded to everyone and said:


    ��Just call me Ophelia.��


    "Hello."


    ?The agents briefly greeted Ophelia, and Mona then looked at the folder in Luo An��s hand and asked:


    ��What is the case this time?��


    Luo An''s eyelids twitched and he did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ophelia next to him.


    Ophelia took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:


    ��A nuclear warhead is missing and our goal is to recover it.��


    ����


    ???��


    !!��


    ??After Ophelia finished speaking, the entire office area instantly became extremely quiet, and several people even stopped breathing. Winslow and Chenelle''s eyes widened, Mona and Michelle''s faces were full of shock, and their mouths opened unconsciously. Lacey, who was still a little sleepy, was frightened to wake up, and asked in shock. :


    ��Nuclear...nuclear bomb?! Are you sure?��


    Lacie stuttered a little when she spoke, she was really shocked by the news.


    ��Not a whole nuclear bomb, just a nuclear warhead.��


    Ophelia shook her head, distributed the information in the folder to everyone, and introduced:


    ��31 hours ago, the NSA (Federal National Security Agency), during its daily monitoring of an organization, accidentally learned that members of the organization had dug up an air-to-air missile from the Cold War era in a certain area of ??New Mexico.


    ?Military database records show that the missile is equipped with a nuclear warhead at the front.


    But when the NSA and other relevant departments arrived there, they only found most of the dug-out remains of the air-to-air missile, and the nuclear warhead part had been missing. "


    ����


    The office area is quieter.


    ?During the Cold War, the federal military held many exercises in various models, and sometimes actually simulated aircraft carrying nuclear bombs.


    ??But accidents will always happen, and planes flying in the sky are no exception. In order to prevent nuclear bombs from being detonated due to plane crashes, the military always requires pilots to drop the nuclear bombs from the plane first.


    Since there is no detonating device, the nuclear bomb will not explode when it hits the ground. According to the military, this method is "less dangerous".


    ?Planes of that period did not have accurate positioning devices. It was difficult to tell exactly where the nuclear bomb dropped after leaving the plane. The military could only send people to the area to conduct a large-scale screening to search for it.


    Some of them were successfully found and recovered smoothly, and naturally there were also some that were lost without being found.


    ?The federal government alone has acknowledged six such incidents of missing nuclear bombs, and there are who knows how many more who have not acknowledged it.


    ?At least the federation has not acknowledged this air-to-air missile nuclear warhead incident. If the missile wreckage had not been dug out, this matter would have been hidden forever.


    Roan rubbed his temples helplessly. He was also very shocked when he heard this from Veranith.


    ?He knew that the federal government was often unreliable, but to be so unreliable was beyond imagination.


    ��So, the current situation is that a nuclear warhead is lost and I don��t know who stole it.��


    ?After a long silence, Cheniel swallowed and asked:


    ��We��re going to get the nuclear warheads back, right?��


    ��No, we just need to find traces of it and find out whose hands it is.


    As for what happens next, there are departments that specialize in dealing with nuclear bombs. "


    ? Luo An shook his head. Although he had a system, things like nuclear bombs could not be solved by a system at all.


    ??Had it not been for the person in charge sent by Veranith and the military to make it clear that the FBI was only responsible for finding people, and that other departments would be responsible for nuclear bomb disposal, Luo An would not have taken the case at all.


    When Geiger rings, parents raise money in vain.


    ?This sentence is often exaggerated, but when encountering a nuclear bomb, most people��s first reaction is to turn around and run away.


    ?


    Hearing Roan��s words, Winslow, Michelle and Lacey suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief. Chenelle noticed something and then asked:


    ��What about radiation? We all know that radiation will be contaminated as long as you come into contact with it, and there is no way to escape it.��


    ?Ophelia handed another document to everyone and explained:


    ��Those who dug out the air-to-air missiles, relevant departments have conducted professional testing on them. There are no traces of radiation on their bodies, which means that the nuclear warhead is well preserved and there is no sign of radiation leakage.


    ?In addition, the military database also shows that the nuclear warhead''s protection design is very comprehensive and there will be no radiation leakage. "


    ??After asking some simple questions, the agents of the special investigation team relaxed a little. Mona sat back at her work station, turned on the computer and asked:


    ��Is there anyone you suspect?��


    "certainly."


    ?Ophelia took out a piece of paper and handed it to Mona, and replied:


    "We suspect that the guy who stole the nuclear warhead is from the "Nuclear Bomb Club."

 Chapter 658： three suspects

    Chapter 658 Three Suspects


    Sunday, 5:30 pm, Special Investigation Team Office.


    ��The Nuclear Bomb Club stole the nuclear bomb, this is really...��


    In the office area, after hearing Ophelia��s words, Lacey raised her eyebrows and complained:


    ��It��s really a professional counterpart.��


    Winslow next to him was a little confused:


    ��What is this ��nuclear bomb club�� for?��


    ??Watching Mona quickly investigate the information, Ophelia explained without looking back:


    ��As the name suggests, they are looking for nuclear bombs.��


    In the eyes of ordinary people, nuclear bombs are absolutely terrifying items, and they just want to stay away.


    For those with money, nuclear bombs are the most collectible art objects in the world.


    ?Mona brought up the chat history and photos of the three of them on the computer screen and explained:


    Compared with the first two people with very different styles, the third white man��s dress is more eye-catching.


    ��The first person��s name is Al Burke, who is 56 years old this year. In his early years, he started by buying and selling abandoned warehouses and flipping the items inside. Later, he changed his profession and started treasure hunting. He has been working in this industry for more than thirty years.


    ��Everyone, we have information!��


    ?These lost nuclear bombs naturally attracted a group of people who wanted to find them. In addition to the treasure hunting teams funded by wealthy people, there were also many lone wolf adventurers.


    ??Luo An briefly glanced at the two of them and then looked away. He pointed at the photo of the third white man on the far right and asked:


    ��Who is this guy?��


    ??The younger white man in the middle is wearing a beautiful windbreaker and a lot of high-tech equipment. He looks like a model. The style gap between the two is quite large.


    They even have a festival dedicated to these treasure hunters, called the "Nuclear Bomb Chase Festival."


    ?? Luo An also rubbed his temples helplessly. He knew that the federal land was vast and there were many talents of all kinds, but he never expected that the species diversity was so outrageous.


    ��The guys in this club are mainly suspicious of three people.��


    In order to exchange useful information, these people established a "Nuclear Bomb Club".


    Because of the distance problem, some people arrived at the area quickly, while others were still driving. After learning about the missing nuclear warhead incident, they quickly discussed the person they suspected.


    After all, it is a nuclear bomb, and no matter how rich you are, you cannot buy it privately.


    ?In the computer photo, the elderly white man on the left is wearing shabby clothes and old equipment. He even mainly rubs his hands and is extremely hard-core.


    ?After hearing Ophelia''s explanation, Winslow and Chenie, who didn''t know much about these things, suddenly widened their eyes in astonishment.


    The second guy��s name is Matteo. He is 31 years old and is also a treasure hunter. He has been working in this industry for five or six years and is a very famous rising star. "


    At this moment, Mona suddenly stopped typing on the keyboard and said loudly:


    ��People in the Nuclear Bomb Club are also discussing the situation of that nuclear warhead!��


    ����


    As mentioned before, the loss of nuclear bombs and nuclear warheads has happened many times in the Federation.


    As a group of guys who specialize in chasing nuclear bombs, they got the news not long after the air-to-air missile in New Mexico was dug out of the ground, and then swarmed towards it like crazy.


    ??He wore a military-style helmet, infrared glasses, a camouflage uniform, a thick body armor on his chest, a rifle in his hand, and a pistol, dagger and grenade at his waist.


    With this look, most people would not doubt that he was a mercenary.


    ��Well, this guy��s name is Wilfrido, and he is 42 years old.��


    Looking at the photo of the third person, Mona��s eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, and she introduced:


    ��He is a mercenary. He has been to Africa, America, the Middle East and other places. He has been working as a mercenary for more than ten years. Treasure hunting is only his part-time job.


    ?It''s not accurate to say it''s a part-time job. This guy often collects cultural relics and sells them after killing people on the battlefield.


    ?Whoever bids the highest price will sell those cultural relics to whomever, regardless of historical value.


    Because of this, the treasure hunting industry has always regarded Wilfriddo as a cancer in the industry, because he is unreasonable and only talks about firepower. "


    ��They are all talents.��


    Winslow grinned, Lacey nodded in agreement, Roan crossed his arms over his chest and asked:


    "Can you tell me why the three of them are suspected?" Mona nodded and explained:


    ��Because these three are closest to New Mexico.


    ??56-year-old Albock��s hometown is in Arizona, next door to New Mexico, not far from where the air-to-air missile was discovered.


    31-year-old Mateo was the first person to obtain information about the air-to-air missile and the first person to go to New Mexico.


    As for the mercenary Wilfrido, this guy was gambling in a casino in Colorado. After getting the news about the air-to-air missiles, he immediately drove a helicopter to New Mexico. "


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded and then asked:


    ��Can we find any trace of these three people now?��


    ��Sorry, can��t find it.��


    ?Mona shook her head, spread her hands and said:


    ��People who are engaged in the treasure hunting industry are very cautious. In order to prevent being hacked, Albuquerque and Matteo rarely reveal their whereabouts, and it is difficult to locate their phone numbers.


    ?As for Wilfrido, he is not afraid of taking advantage of others. After all, most of the time he takes the initiative to take advantage of others.


    But because of this, he has many enemies. In addition, his main job is as a mercenary and he has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. As long as he doesn''t want to, we will probably have to spend a lot of effort to find him. "


    ��Find a way to find them.��


    Luo An said in a deep voice:


    ��Once this nuclear warhead explodes, the impact will definitely be greater than Madoff��s Ponzi scheme.��


    The entire earth will turn its attention to the Federation: it is indeed a beacon to the world. You can grow mushrooms for yourself, no wonder it is so bright.


    ?Mona took a deep breath and nodded vigorously:


    ��I try my best.��


    "Thanks a lot."


    ??Luo An gently patted Mona on the shoulder, then turned to look at the others and ordered:


    ��Everyone, our first goal is to find traces of these three people!


    ??Mona sits at the headquarters and is responsible for coordinating information to contact us and provide us with clues.


    ? Winslow and Michelle, you two work as a team and go to find 56-year-old Albuquerque.


    Chenelle, Lacey, you two are responsible for finding Mateo.


    ??I and Ophelia are responsible for finding the mercenary Wilfrido.


    ?Be careful during the action. This is a nuclear warhead after all. If something goes wrong or a special situation occurs, your top priority is to save yourself and your teammates. Do you understand? "


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    After a few simple arrangements, everyone began to pack their equipment and prepare to set off overnight. Everyone was equipped with two Geiger counters, one for use and one for backup.


    It is not an exaggeration to say that nuclear warheads are the most terrifying things in the world. In addition, as long as they are contaminated with nuclear radiation, the consequences will be disastrous, so no matter how cautious you are, you cannot be too cautious.


    After preparations were completed, the agents of the special investigation team were divided into three groups, took special planes and set off overnight, heading straight for their respective targets.


    ??In the night sky, a small plane moved straight forward. Looking out the window at the city with lights of various colors flashing on the ground, Luo An pondered for a while, then suddenly turned to look at Ophelia and asked:


    ��Ms. Maudlin, I have a question.��


    ��Just call me Ophelia.��


    ?Ophelia put down the document in her hand, raised her head and smiled at Luo An, and said:


    "what is the problem?"


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��How many nuclear bombs or warheads have your military lost?��


    ����


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 659： Start investigation, suspected nuclear warhead

    Chapter 659: Investigation started, suspected nuclear warhead


    ??In the small plane, Ophelia was stunned for a moment when she heard Luo An''s question, and then answered with a smile:


    ��As far as I know, there are only 6.��


    ��6, still ��only��.��


    ?Luo An''s eyelids twitched. With "Emotional Perception" turned on, he could feel that what the other person said was 100% false.


    But Ophelia��s meaning is very simple. Don��t ask, I don��t know. Anyway, the official number is 6. If it is said to be 6, it is 6.


    Taking a deep breath, Luo An continued to ask without further discussion on this topic:


    ��In addition to contacting the FBI and asking the FBI to help find nuclear warheads, has your military sent people to search for them?��


    Ophelia shook her head:


    "No."


    ? Luo An pursed his lips slightly, and his "emotional perception" found that this sentence was also a lie.


    ?After pondering for a while, Luo An decided to send a message to the four Winslows after getting off the plane, asking them to pay more attention during their actions.


    ?Luo An then asked a few questions about nuclear warheads. Ophelia did not lie about these things, she told the truth.


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction and then asked:


    ??Mona quickly explained:


    "No."


    ��You just said there are two pieces of good news, what is the second one?��


    The results showed that one hour and twenty-seven minutes ago, he bought some food that could be stored for a long time in the city called "Carisoso", as well as several hundred rounds of 5.56 bullets. "


    ��Records show that Wilfrido��s habitual firearm is an AR-15 rifle. I suspect that he may have already owned a rifle, or he bought a rifle from underground sources, but now he is just short of bullets.��


    The next morning, Luo An and Ophelia drove straight towards the area where the air-to-air missile was stolen.


    ��Two pieces of good news, Roan.��


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone carefully checked the information on the computer for a moment and said:


    ��It went very well with Winslow and Michelle.��


    ?Winslow and Michelle are not far from that area. I have sent them the specific coordinates and they are heading there. "


    ��No guns?��


    ?Luo An frowned slightly:


    ��Good, tell them to remember to contact the local SWAT team and be careful.��


    ?Halfway through, Luo An��s cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, and Mona��s laughter came from the phone:


    ��Only bullets?��


    ��I checked Wilfrido��s consumption records through bank statements.


    After chatting for a while, Luo An began to close his eyes and rest. After all, there is still a distance between Washington, D.C. and New Mexico.


    ??The sound of typing on the keyboard came from the phone, and Mona smiled and explained:


    ��In the early hours of this morning, Albock called an old friend, and the signal was received by the NSA (Federal National Security Agency), which successfully located his specific location.


    ��The second one is related to your side.��


    "What''s wrong?"


    "knew."


    After a brief chat, Luo An took the initiative to hang up the phone, changed the direction of the car and started heading towards Carrisoso.


    At noon, Roan and Ophelia arrived in the southern part of Carrizosu and found the store where Wilfrido bought food.


    ?Seeing the photo shown by Luo An, the girl in charge of the checkout nodded, bit her gum and said:


    ��Yes, he came to buy something from us in the morning.��


    ?Luo An asked:


    ��Do you remember what you bought?��


    ��Chocolate, biscuits, mineral water, sugar����


    The girl chewing bubble gum briefly talked about several kinds of food. Finally, she suddenly clapped her hands, pointed to the shelf in the distance, and said with a smile:


    "By the way, that guy also bought twenty packs of MRE individual soldier rations that even dogs can''t eat."


    MRE individual soldier rations, one of the most notorious individual soldier rations in the Federation.


    The specific content is difficult to describe. When a certain eastern space country was hit by a disaster in the last century, it was extremely short of food, so the federation sent a large amount of MRE individual soldier rations.


    ??As a result, these rations were used by the Space Kingdom to feed pigs and dogs, and humans did not eat them at all. The local federal soldiers also felt their heads hurt when they saw the MRE.


    Because of this, the girl was deeply impressed by Wilfrido, and she once guessed that Wilfrido was planning to harm others.


    ? Wilfrido and Luo An looked at each other. They also didn��t understand the reason why Wilfrido purchased MRE, but this matter is not important now. Luo An then asked:


    ��Did you see which direction this person went after leaving the mall?��


    ��You guys go to the back to find the manager.��


    ??The girl chewed gum and waved her hand casually, indicating that there was a hidden surveillance camera in the upper right corner of the mall gate. It was mainly used to prevent some stowaways who bought for zero yuan. The manager of the mall was responsible for the surveillance video.


    Find the manager to explain his identity and purpose, and Luo An and his wife quickly obtained the surveillance at the time.


    ��This is an old-fashioned video surveillance camera that is not connected to the Internet.��


    ??In the car outside the mall, Luo An looked at the information recorded in the notebook and said to Mona on the other end of the phone:


    "Help find a black off-road vehicle with the license plate number - - and figure out which direction it is going."


    ��Small things, simple.��


    ??Mona smiled easily, fierce keyboard typing sounded, and soon she found the trace of the car:


    ��The other party is driving quickly on Route 134, but the destination he wants to go to is unclear.��


    ?? Luo An immediately started the car and rushed into the traffic flow, and said while moving forward at high speed:


    ��Send the information about the off-road vehicle to the police near the road and ask them to monitor it.��


    "no problem."


    ??Mona agreed immediately without hesitation. Luo An was about to hang up the phone after hearing this. At this moment, Mona suddenly shouted:


    ��Wait a minute! Roan!��


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��Something��s wrong! There��s something wrong with the back seat of that SUV!��


    ??Mona''s voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became very urgent, and she explained very quickly:


    ��I checked the video of the off-road vehicle entering the highway intersection, and the person inside was indeed Wilfrido.


    ?Through the front window, you can see a cylindrical object covered with cloth on the back seat of the off-road vehicle!


    ?In addition, there is also a problem with the speed of that off-road vehicle. It does not look like a car driven by one person, but more like a car driven by one person pulling another person! "


    ?Mona��s words were a bit convoluted, but Luo An understood what she meant, that is, in addition to Wilfrido, there might be an object weighing about one person in the off-road vehicle.


    Luo An��s face darkened slightly, he turned to look at Ophelia, and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��How much did the missing nuclear warhead weigh?��


    Ophelia quickly replied:


    ��About 180 pounds.��


    After the little boy successfully ended the war, the Federation has been making crazy progress on the road to miniaturization of nuclear weapons during the Cold War.


    Through hard work, their tactical nuclear warheads can not only be installed on various types of tactical missiles, but their size can even be installed on 6-inch howitzers equipped by both sides, and their weight is only 70 pounds, or just over 60 kilograms.


    ��180 pounds...that��s a little over 160 kilograms, about the same weight as a person.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly converted the units, and then ordered with a solemn face:


    ��Mona, contact the law enforcement department in front of Route 134 immediately! Explain the situation and ask them to send someone immediately to stop Wilfrido from moving forward!


    In addition, call the experts in the relevant departments and ask them to be prepared to handle nuclear bombs! "


    "clear!"


    Mona on the other end of the phone was sweating coldly and quickly agreed. Before hanging up the phone, she whispered quickly:


    ��Luo An, you must be careful.��


    "rest assured."


    ?Luo An smiled, then hung up the phone and stepped on the accelerator. The car''s speed increased again and it began to move rapidly in the direction of the target!

 Chapter 660： [Case of missing nuclear warhead] (657

    Chapter 660 [Case of Lost Nuclear Warhead] (Starts from Chapter 657)


    ? New Mexico, 1 p.m., Highway 134.


    ?A black off-road vehicle was driving straight ahead on the road. At an intersection far in front of it, dozens of law enforcement vehicles quickly arrived, and a group of law enforcement officers quickly made various interception measures.


    ??After receiving Mona��s notice, the major law enforcement agencies in the city called Encino, north of Carrisoso City, instantly exploded.


    ??The mayor of Encino and other high-level officials don''t care about nuclear bomb explosions. They don''t panic even if a lot of people die below.


    But if a nuclear bomb is going to explode in their own city, this is unbearable, because people from their respective families are in this city, this city is their base, and radiation does not look at rich or poor, men or women, or It depends on skin color.


    As a result, these people achieved an efficiency unprecedented in decades. From receiving the information, to integrating the law enforcement teams of various departments, to dispatching personnel, the whole process did not even take more than 8 minutes.


    Not only that, the mayor of Encino and other high-level officials even obtained more than a dozen helicopters within three minutes, and were prepared to escape strategically in case of an incident...and then move in strategically.


    Mona: ������


    Mona, who was speechless and wanted to curse, told Luo An these things. Luo An, who was driving, was not surprised at all. He did not discuss the matter more and asked instead:


    ��How far is the distance between me and Wilfrido?��


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard a few times, calculated the speed of Wilfriddo''s off-road vehicle, then positioned the car of Luo An and his wife, and quickly replied:


    He stopped mid-sentence, and there was some confusion on the other end of the phone:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��What?��


    But this was the first time she had seen an SUV driving so fast and constantly overtaking cars left and right.


    ��It��s still about fifteen minutes�� drive.��


    ?Ophelia thought this was Luo An''s limit, but she didn''t expect that he actually said he wanted to speed up? !


    As soon as he finished speaking, he put the clutch in gear and stepped on the accelerator to overtake the car in one go. Under the astonished eyes of the passers-by and the car owner and Ophelia''s horrified eyes, the SUV roared and then rushed out like a black lightning!


    ?Ophelia craned her neck and glanced at the dial of the car, which had reached nearly 170km/h, and said in disbelief:


    ?At the same time, an off-road vehicle far ahead was driving forward at a constant speed.


    Ophelia, who was sweating on her forehead, opened her eyes wide when she heard Luo An''s words:


    "all the best."


    ?Luo An nodded clearly, then turned to look at Ophelia in the co-pilot, and said softly:


    ��Fasten your seat belt and hold on to the handrails, I��m going to speed up.��


    In the driver''s seat, a white man with short brown hair, prominent cheekbones, deep-set eyes but very sharp eyes was holding a mobile phone and making a call while driving:


    ��It doesn��t matter.��


    ??A man''s laughter came from the mobile phone. Wilfrid nodded with satisfaction. After a few brief greetings, Wilfrid asked:


    ��Will, how are you doing here?


    ??The incident of the missing nuclear warhead caused a big fuss. Everyone in the circle knew about it, and many people were rushing to New Mexico. "


    ?Seeing that Ophelia had already taken protective measures, Luo An turned around and straightened his back, looking at the car in front of him and grinning:


    ��The dial is not at the bottom yet, the speed can be increased!��


    ?Wilfrido smiled disdainfully:


    ��Those guys are all trash, they are of no use to me, as long as����


    ��Areyoukiddingme? (Are you kidding me?)��


    ?Having worked in the army for many years, Ophelia has seen and ridden in many cars driven by madmen.


    ��How are you doing over there?��


    ��That��s about ten minutes left.��


    At this time, Ophelia not only fastened her seat belt tightly, but also tightly grasped the black handle at the top of the car door with both hands. Looking at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window, she took in a few breaths of cold air.


    ��It��s okay, we��ll talk to you later.��


    Wilfrido said a simple sentence and immediately hung up the phone, then looked at the intersection in the distance with a frown.


    ?He wanted to say that as long as he didn''t encounter more than ten federal law enforcement officers, he wouldn''t panic at all, and he was absolutely sure that he could leave easily.


    ?Unexpectedly, the intersection far ahead was suddenly blocked, and a group of law enforcement officers with guns and ammunition appeared. More than thirty people were seen here and there.


    ??Although Wilfrido was confident, he knew his own strength better and had no plans to make a dozen or more. Seeing that the off-road vehicle was still a long way from that intersection, Wilfrid took a deep breath, turned the steering wheel without hesitation, drove the off-road vehicle into the opposite lane, and then drove back.


    Several passers-by and car owners in the opposite lane were startled by the off-road vehicle that suddenly turned around and jumped in. After reacting, they yelled and cursed.


    ?Several law enforcement officers who set up a traffic jam in the distance also spotted this suspicious-looking off-road vehicle. After confirming it was the target vehicle through the license plate number, their eyes instantly lit up and they shouted loudly:


    ��We found the target, let��s chase after it quickly����


    Snapped!


    Before the young law enforcement officer finished speaking, the older law enforcement officer next to him hit him **** the back of the head, and then ordered loudly:


    ��Spot the target vehicle and start chasing, but don��t get close!��


    "clear!"


    Dozens of law enforcement officers immediately ran into the car and prepared to chase the off-road vehicle.


    ??The older law enforcement officer glanced at the young man who was hit on the head with some disgust. It was obvious that he was still too young and needed training.


    ?DiDiDiDi��


    Soon, a rare spectacle appeared on the opposite lane:


    ?An off-road vehicle was speeding ahead at a constant speed, followed by dozens of law enforcement vehicles with flashing red and blue lights.


    The distance between the two parties is neither far nor close, but it remains the same, just so far away.


    ��A bunch of rubbish.��


    Looking through the rearview mirror at the law enforcement vehicles in the distance behind that did not dare to approach, Wilfrido grinned disdainfully.


    ??He understood what those people were thinking, but he didn''t dare to get close to the nuclear bomb, and he didn''t dare to anger Wilfrido, for fear that he would go to extremes and detonate the nuclear bomb, but he had to carry out the orders of the people above him.


    In this case, the best choice is to drive away Wilfrido without using the gun and using force to overwhelm others.


    The Federation is, after all, a "democratic" country. Each city has its own administrator. As long as the nuclear bomb does not explode in one''s own city, it doesn''t matter in any other city. It is someone else''s business anyway.


    "Wait a moment."


    Finding out what the law enforcement officers were thinking, Wilfrido suddenly realized that they seemed to be afraid to get close to him.


    Thinking about the destination he wanted to go to, if he left this road and took a long detour, he would have to walk a long distance. Wilfrid''s eyes moved slightly and he slammed on the brakes.


    As soon as the off-road vehicle stopped, the cars from the law enforcement agencies behind were obviously stunned for a moment, and then they all stopped.


    ?Hunting the reverse gear, Wilfrido looked at the rearview mirror carefully and started to drive the off-road vehicle backwards little by little.


    ?A few seconds later, the law enforcement vehicles hanging far behind suddenly started to move, but instead of chasing, they all retreated.


    "Ha ha ha ha��"


    ?Looking at the law enforcement vehicles that were gradually retreating as he retreated, Wilfrido suddenly raised his head and laughed, his eyes filled with contempt for those people.


    ����


    After all, the reversing speed was not fast, and the visibility was not convenient. Confirming that his guess was correct, Wilfrido immediately turned the front of the car and started driving in the opposite direction in the opposite lane, pressing against a bunch of cars from the law enforcement officers.


    ��It��s me, Will.��


    ??Taking out his cell phone and calling again, Wilfrid chuckled:


    ��It��s okay, I just want to tell you that I may be in advance...��


    �O


    Before Wilfrid could finish his words, suddenly a muffled sound came from behind the off-road vehicle, and a car hit the off-road vehicle on the butt.


    Under the influence of the huge inertia, Wilfrido suddenly jumped forward uncontrollably, and without holding the phone firmly, it fell to the front windshield.


    ��Fu-k! Don��t you know how to drive?��


    Wilfrido, who almost hit his head on the steering wheel, cursed loudly, but after a few curses, his expression suddenly changed:


    He is driving the wrong way in the opposite lane. If a car hits him and rear-ends him, is the other person also driving the wrong way? !


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 661： remote control nuclear bomb, arrest, accident

    Chapter 661 Remote-controlled nuclear bomb, arrest, accident


    Wilfrido, whose main job is as a mercenary, is not a person who likes to abide by rules, or in other words, he only likes to abide by the law of the jungle and the rules that are beneficial to him.


    ? Wilfrido didn��t take the small matter of driving on the wrong side of the road seriously at all, but he couldn��t bear it when other people were driving on the wrong side of the road, and their driving skills were poor, so they hit him.


    "damn it��"


    ? Wilfrido cursed loudly, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong:


    Now there is no one else on this road except him and the law enforcement officers. Everyone stays far away and dare not get close.


    In this case, there are only two types of people who can hit your own off-road vehicle:


    ?Either she was simply incompetent in technique and had no awareness of traffic rules, so she drove in the wrong lane and accidentally hit an off-road vehicle.


    ?Either the other party deliberately drove in the wrong direction and bumped into his off-road vehicle on purpose!


    ? All kinds of thoughts flashed through Wilfrido''s mind instantly. When he reacted, he immediately raised his hand to grab the AR-15 rifle on the passenger seat, and at the same time looked up in the rearview mirror to check the situation.


    Bang!


    ?? Wilfrido suddenly stopped moving and his face became stiff. Roan stared at Wilfrido closely and shouted loudly without looking back:


    "How is it going?"


    ����


    ??Seeing the group of law enforcement officers in Encino City being pushed back by Wilfrido, the pale Ophelia suddenly cursed loudly.


    Wilfrido''s pupils shrank, and before he could react, a huge force came and he was pulled directly out of the car window!


    �O


    ��The nuclear warhead was found!��


    ?Just when Wilfrido started to reverse the car, Luo An arrived in the area in an SUV.


    Out of caution, Wilfrido would definitely reinforce and tie up something as terrifying as a nuclear warhead in the back seat just in case it fell from the back seat.


    Swearing something in an unknown language, Wilfrido quickly rolled sideways to avoid Luo An''s heavy kick.


    The dagger scraped through the air and made a sharp sound. Luo An leaned back and easily dodged it. Wilfrido took another step forward and prepared to stab. Luo An grinned and suddenly took out the Glock pistol from behind:


    "do not move!"


    ����


    At this moment, the glass on the driver''s door was suddenly smashed, and a hand suddenly reached in and grabbed the collar in front of Wilfrido''s neck.


    When Mona checked the surveillance before, she not only found a cylindrical object in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, but also found traces of ropes and horizontal strips under the cover. From this, she deduced that Wilfriddo had done something to the things behind the vehicle. Reinforcement measures.


    ?A carp stood up straight, Wilfrido put his left hand in his pocket, took out a dagger with his right hand and stabbed Luo An.


    Throwing Wilfrido to the ground forcefully, he kicked the AR-15 that was pulled out by the opponent far away. Luoan then flew up and kicked him in the chest.


    "that''s it!"


    ??Roan agreed with Mona''s inference that Wilfrido was a mercenary after all. Without careful behavior, he would not be alive today.


    It was based on this inference and the "emotional perception" in his mind that there was no danger ahead, that Luo An finally made the decision to hit the other person and force him to stop.


    Luo An didn''t care. He took this opportunity to immediately turn the steering wheel, drive the SUV into the opposite lane, and crash into the off-road vehicle.


    ��%��#*����


    In the off-road vehicle behind the two of them, Ophelia opened the door of the back seat and forcefully lifted the cover on the back seat. A dark gray cylinder with an oval bottom and a pointed object suddenly appeared in front of her. In front of you.


    Ophelia��s eyes lit up instantly and she replied loudly:


    ��Good.��


    ??Emotional perception was always turned on, and no danger was sensed. The Geiger counter on his lower back did not make any sound. Luo An breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile:


    Hello, Mr. Wilfrido, this is the FBI.


    Congratulations, you were arrested for stealing nuclear warheads. "


    While Luo An was talking, he saw Wilfrido being dragged out of the car. The cars from the law enforcement agencies in the distance were no longer afraid. They rushed up quickly and raised their guns to surround Wilfrido in the middle of the crowd. .


    ��Don��t move!�� ? ? ? ��Hands up!��


    ��Get down! Get down quickly!��


    ��No, Mr. FBI, I caught you.��


    Facing so many gunshots, Wilfrido did not panic at all. He did not pay attention to the people from the Encino City law enforcement department, but grinned and opened his left hand.


    There was a black box there that was smaller than a mobile phone and had a few buttons. Wilfriddo smiled and said:


    ��I installed something small in that nuclear warhead, and this is its remote control.


    ?I suggest you let me go immediately, or you can take a bet on whether this remote control is real or fake.


    The bet is simple, it��s just that the nuclear warhead explodes, we all die, and the area is contaminated by radiation for dozens of miles. "


    ������xN


    Seeing the small black box in Wilfrido''s hand and hearing what Wilfrido said, everyone in the Encino City Law Enforcement Department was instantly shaken. The scene was quiet, and several leadership figures were even more shocked. His face turned green.


    Ophelia beside the off-road vehicle was breathing heavily. She only knew part of the information and appearance of the nuclear warhead, but she didn''t know how to dismantle the nuclear warhead. She couldn''t be sure whether what Wilfriddo said was true or false.


    ?Seeing that everyone else was starting to become emotionally unstable and even a little panicked, but the FBI in front of him still looked calm and unchanged, Wilfrid chuckled and continued:


    ��I��ll give you five minutes, and you can ask an expert to come over and check the situation.


    I''m leaving here in five minutes. Is there any problem?


    ?In addition, fellow law enforcement officers, I was just passing by on this highway and had no intention of entering the city. You can rest assured. "


    Hearing what Wilfrido said later, the eyes of several leaders of this group of law enforcement officers suddenly lit up.


    ??Looking at each other, we quickly understood what the other person was thinking. One of the middle-aged white men with a big belly nodded slightly, slowly moved to Luo An''s side, and whispered:


    ��Mr. FBI, I think����


    boom!


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    Just as the fat-bellied white man started to speak, several gunshots suddenly rang out. Wilfrido was first shot in the left wrist and the small black box fell to the ground. Then, both legs and shoulders were shot, and his body fell backwards to the ground. .


    The sudden sound of gunfire startled everyone. When the gunfire ended, everyone quickly moved their guns to aim at the shooter, who was Luo An.


    ����


    ??Blowed the muzzle smoke, Luo An put away the pistol and explained calmly:


    ��He��s lying, that little box is not a remote control.��


    ??Because "emotional perception" was always turned on, from the first sentence Wilfrid said, Luo An discovered that the other party was lying, and the purpose was not difficult to guess, which was to scare these people into letting him leave.


    Roan walked to Wilfrido, squatted down and picked up the small box, and said with a smile:


    ��The following sentences are a good means of differentiation and co-optation.��


    The severe pain from the muzzle and the annoyance that the plan was revealed made Wilfrido''s eyes red and his mouth smelled sweet, greeting Roan from various angles.


    ?Luo An took out the handcuffs and controlled him, and said calmly:


    ��Save your energy and scold me when you get to the hospital. Don��t get so excited that you lose too much blood and die on the way.��


    ?Wilfrido was even angrier, but immediately stopped saying greetings.


    ? Luo An sneered, which was another reason why he judged that the little black box was a lie:


    ??Although Wilfrido is a mercenary and kills people on the battlefield, he is actually afraid of death. After all, only by living can he enjoy beautiful women and delicious food, so he will never bet on his own life.


    ?? After a few words with the law enforcement people in Encino City, Luo An was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and asked them to quickly call the relevant experts to deal with the nuclear warheads. After all, no one at the scene knew how to do this kind of work.


    Not long after, the experts arrived at the scene and started working. After waiting for a while, Luo An��s cell phone suddenly rang:


    ��It��s me, Mona.��


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone spoke urgently:


    ��Chanelle and Lacey have lost contact!��


    Luo An��s eyes were fixed, and before he could speak, Ophelia suddenly walked over quickly and said in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, something is wrong. There is something wrong with this nuclear warhead.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 662： Real and fake nuclear warheads

    Chapter 662: Real and fake nuclear warheads


    ��There��s something wrong with the nuclear warhead!��


    The expression on Ophelia''s face was a little anxious. Luo An interrupted her with a wave of his hand, and asked in a deep voice while holding his mobile phone:


    ��Mona, what exactly happened?��


    ?Mona spoke quickly and quickly explained what happened.


    ??Mona��s task is to stay at the headquarters and be responsible for investigating information, handling monitoring, and coordinating all parties.


    Half an hour ago, Roan''s operation ended and the nuclear warhead was successfully found. After Mona learned about it, she immediately sent the news to Winslow, Michelle, Chenelle, and Lacey.


    Now that the nuclear warhead has been found, the mission of the two teams naturally ends, and the four people begin to pack up and prepare to return.


    ��Five minutes ago, Lacey suddenly called me and asked me to help her retrieve the surveillance of a certain area for a certain period of time.��


    ?Mona added in a solemn tone:


    Before rendezvous, let Winslow and Michelle be careful and save themselves as the top priority! "


    ??I picked up the phone and wanted to tell Lacey about this and ask her to be careful, but the call couldn''t be reached at this time. "


    ��I helped to check it, and a few minutes later I found that the surveillance had been cleared by someone unknown and could not be found at all.


    "said."


    ??Mona agreed in a solemn voice and hung up the phone. Roan then turned to Ophelia and asked:


    Hearing this, Luo An did not hesitate and said immediately:


    ��Have Winslow and Michelle rush to the location immediately, and I will head to that area immediately.


    ��No.��


    Luo An pondered for a moment and asked:


    ��Where��s Chenelle? Did she leave any clues?��


    Luo An looked calm and the expression on his face did not change at all, while Ophelia said eagerly:


    ��Leader Luo An, we need to interrogate this guy Wilfrido quickly! Find out where the real nuclear warhead went!


    ��This is simply a fake nuclear warhead!


    ��There��s no need to worry, Ophelia.��


    Only in this way can we..."


    ��I can locate her phone.��


    ?Mona said in a deep voice:


    ��Positioning shows that Chenille��s cell phone has not been moved. She probably hid it or threw it away as soon as she realized something was wrong.��


    Ophelia shook her head repeatedly and replied in a solemn voice:


    ��Did Lacey tell you why she wanted you to investigate the surveillance?��


    ?It does not contain nuclear charges, detonators and other items, but iron blocks, sand and other high-weight garbage! "


    ??Mona quickly replied:


    ��Lacie said that when she and Chenelle were preparing to return, they accidentally discovered traces of Mateo being kidnapped, so they wanted to investigate the specific situation.��


    "You said there is a problem with the nuclear warhead. What is the problem? Are the things responsible for fission inside lost?"


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An waved his hand to interrupt Ophelia. Ophelia suddenly became more anxious and shouted loudly:


    ��How could you not be in a hurry?! Leader Luo An, that��s a nuclear warhead! Do you know...��


    ��I told you, don��t worry!��


    ??Luo An stood up suddenly, looked at Ophelia condescendingly, and said expressionlessly:


    ��Don��t make me repeat myself again, okay?��


    ����


    Looking at Luo An, who had a cold light in his eyes, Ophelia, who was originally excited, calmed down instantly, swallowed silently, and asked:


    ��Leader Luo An, do you have a plan?��


    ��Before that, you need to do me a favor.��


    ? Luo An took out the Glock 18 from his waist without haste and said softly:


    ��Agents Chenille and Lacey in my investigation team lost contact five minutes ago.


    I need you to call your military people and release them. "


    ??Mona mentioned on the phone just now that Lacey and the two found out about Matteo''s kidnapping, so they asked her to help investigate and monitor.


    Thinking again of the previous flight, Ophelia said that the military did not send anyone out to find nuclear warheads. This statement was a lie. Roan immediately deduced that the people who kidnapped Chenille and Lacey were probably from the military. Watching Luo An shaking the pistol, Ophelia''s eyelids twitched, then she took a deep breath and said in a concentrated voice:


    ��Sorry, Leader Luo An, I said before that our military really didn��t send anyone out to look for nuclear warheads.


    ?In addition, Team Leader Luo An, there is no need for you to scare me with a pistol. I know your shooting skills are very accurate, but you have to think about the consequences of shooting.


    I am a member of the military, and you shot me to death for two of your men. The impact of this incident..."


    ?Luo An opened his mouth and showed a smile:


    ��Are you sure your military didn��t send people out to look for nuclear warheads?��


    "I am sure."


    ��OK.��


    ?Seeing that the other party still refused to tell the truth, rejected him, and did not believe that he dared to shoot, the smile on Luo An''s face became brighter and he asked:


    ��Ms. Ophelia, do you know why I assigned you to my group for this operation instead of letting you be grouped with others?��


    Ophelia was stunned for a moment. Before she could answer, Luo An suddenly raised his pistol and hit her.


    score


    With a muffled sound, Ophelia rolled her eyes and fell to the ground instantly.


    ??Luo An took out the handcuffs, cuffed Ophelia''s hands and feet, then moved her arms and legs to bend back, took out the third handcuff, and cuffed the two handcuffs that cuffed the hands and feet together again.


    ??Took out a bottle of sleeping potion and drank it, then stuffed Ophelia, whose body was arched, into the trunk of the SUV. Luo An randomly found a rag and stuffed it into her mouth, and finally closed the trunk door forcefully.


    ??Then Luo An took out his cell phone and called Veranith, briefly explaining the situation and confirming that Veranith would start contacting the military. Luo An hung up the phone, started the SUV and rushed towards Encino City.


    On the way, Luo An intercepted the ambulance transporting Wilfrido to the hospital. After driving away the doctors and nurses, Luo An sat next to Wilfrido and said softly:


    ��Your nuclear warhead is fake, where is it really?��


    ��What?!��


    Hearing the news, Wilfrido''s eyes widened instantly, with shock written on his face:


    ��Are you lying to me?!��


    Roan didn��t say anything, just looked at him quietly. Wilfrido gradually became silent when he saw this. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly became angry and shouted loudly:


    ��Mateo-Jacqui! You **** raised by a cousin...��


    Luo An nodded understandingly:


    ��In other words, you got this nuclear warhead from Mateo?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Seeing that the wounds on his body were bleeding more and more, Wilfrido quickly stopped cursing to calm down and explained:


    ��I snatched it from that bastard.��


    The air-to-air missile was dug out of the ground and contained a nuclear warhead. Mateo was the first to know and the first to rush to the scene.


    ??When Wilfrido arrived there in a helicopter, he happened to meet Mateo driving away. Wilfrido, who was accustomed to being unreasonable and using firepower, immediately decided to **** it.


    After a gun battle, the helicopter''s fuel tank was leaked and unable to take off. Mateo was forced to abandon the off-road vehicle and the nuclear warhead and run away alone.


    Wilfrido originally planned to kill someone, but Mateo ran too fast and he couldn''t catch up. In addition, Mateo called someone for help. Wilfrido finally had to give up the pursuit and drive off-road. The car quickly left with the nuclear warhead.


    Luo An nodded silently, thinking clearly about what happened.


    After being the first to arrive at the scene, Mateo knew that the matter was too important for him to bear, so he decided to find someone to take the blame.


    ?First make a fake nuclear warhead, hide the real nuclear warhead, and let yourself escape with the fake nuclear warhead.


    ??They will inevitably be chased and intercepted on the road. When the time comes, they will pretend to be invincible and be forced to run away, letting everyone know that the nuclear warhead has been snatched away.


    ??Meteo will indeed be laughed at when the news spreads, but he can quietly hide his figure, leave quietly with a eukaryotic warhead, and quietly make a fortune.


    The routine is not new, but as long as the disguise is sufficient, the likelihood of being discovered in a short period of time is very low, because everyone will focus on the fool who takes the blame.


    ?A certain fool: ������


    ??Patted Wilfrido on the shoulder, Luo An asked:


    ��Is there anything else you want to say?��


    "have!"


    The angry wound was bleeding again, Wilfrido turned a blind eye:


    ��I know Mateo��s two secret bases, and he is very likely to hide the nuclear warheads there!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 663： pawpawn

    Chapter 663 paw��pawn


    ? New Mexico, at 2:30 in the afternoon, on Highway 134, in an ambulance.


    ��Do you know about Mateo��s two secret bases?��


    Hearing the information from Wilfrido, Luo An was slightly surprised:


    ��Didn��t Matteo notice it?��


    ��How could I let him find out.��


    ?? Wilfrido showed a somewhat cunning smile and said that not only Mateo, but also the secret bases of many people in this industry, he had used various methods to obtain the specific addresses.


    The reason why he has not taken action before is because nothing worthy of his action has appeared yet.


    At the same time, these specific addresses are also preparations Wilfrido left for himself, even for retirement.


    Once you run out of money, you can go to those secret bases to buy goods. In Wilfrido''s eyes, those treasure hunters are just security guards who keep the treasures for themselves.


    ?Looking at Wilfrido with a sinister smile on his face, Luo An was very moved.


    ��That��s right.��


    While on vacation some time ago, Lacey met a girl who liked chess, so she bought a chess game and started learning. When the investigation team took a lunch break at work, she even asked Luo An to play with her.


    After getting familiar with the rules, Luo An won 10 games in a row, so Lacey stopped playing with him.


    ??At 5:30 in the afternoon, Luo An drove to the city. Winslow and Michelle arrived one step ahead of him, and had already found Chenelle''s mobile phone under Mona''s guidance.


    ??Luo An knew the rules of Eastern chess but not the rules of international chess, so he lost 3 games in a row at the beginning.


    ��pawn, meaning hostage.��


    The place Chenelle and Lacey went to before was also in New Mexico. The city was called Lavington, which was in the easternmost part of the state.


    ��No! It��s ��soldier��, which is the word ��soldier�� in chess!��


    ?Hold the phone and press the button, adding an "n" after "paw", Luo An said:


    ��It��s a few letters: paw.��


    ??It��s not that I feel sorry for Wilfrido��s plan, but I feel that for so long, every person I met has more brains than the last one, and there are endless methods, and no one is simple-minded.


    Winslow looked at it, frowned and said:


    ��Chenelle left us a clue.��


    In the car, Winslow handed Chenille��s cell phone to Luo An and said solemnly:


    ��Because these three letters are incomplete, and one is missing.��


    ?Winslow was a little confused:


    "Why do you say that?"


    As soon as Winslow finished speaking, Michelle in the back seat of the car clapped her hands and suddenly realized:


    Seeing these letters, Luo An''s mind flashed and he shook his head and said:


    ��This was not left by Chenelle, but by Lacey.��


    Wilfrido was very angry because he was treated as a fool and took the blame for the other party.


    ??The ambulance took Wilfrido to the hospital again, and Luo An drove the car in the direction of the location left by Cheniel''s mobile phone.


    Not only did he tell Luo An the specific locations of Mateo''s two secret bases, but he also provided a location that was suspected to be the opponent''s secret base, as well as several of his spare weapons arsenals, asking Luo An to capture Mateo.


    Winslow was suddenly stunned when he heard Michelle''s explanation, then frowned and said:


    ��The word Lacey left behind means that the military took her and Chenelle away?��


    Luo An nodded:


    ��High probability.��


    Michelle suddenly remembered something, looked left and right but couldn��t find anyone, and asked:


    ��Luo An, where is the woman from the military? Where has she gone?��


    ��She was sleeping in the trunk.��


    Luo An answered casually, without further discussion on the matter. He took out his mobile phone and called Mona:


    ��Mona, have you found any clues there?��


    "not yet."


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone frowned and said:


    ��At the time when Chenelle and Lacey disappeared, all the surveillance in that area was cleared, and I couldn��t find it at all.��


    After a pause for a few seconds, Mona asked tentatively:


    ��Do you want me to enter the military system����


    "No."


    ?Luo An''s eyelids twitched and he quickly interrupted Mona''s thoughts. The military is definitely a special existence in the Federation. It is self-contained and even the president cannot get involved.


    Hundreds of billions of military expenditures are spent every year. Who will investigate the specific situation and who will be shot in the back and commit suicide?


    ?In this case, there is no need to invade the military system to investigate clues.


    Luo An pondered for a moment and asked:


    ��Mona, in Lavington City, apart from the area where we are now, the surveillance has been cleared, has the surveillance in other areas been cleared?��


    ��There are also, such as your east direction.��


    After typing a few times on the keyboard, Mona quickly replied:


    "If you connect the cleared areas into line segments, you can determine that those people left Lavington City from your east side."


    ��East side����


    ?Luo An frowned slightly, waved his hand towards Winslow and said:


    ��Give me a map of New Mexico.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Every time they go to other states in the federation to do a mission, everyone in the investigation team habitually buys a few maps just in case.


    Winslow quickly found a map and handed it to Luo An. Luo An looked at the city on it and suddenly asked:


    ��Mona, check the surveillance in the city of Naravita and see if any surveillance has been erased.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona immediately agreed to come down and start the investigation. Winslow asked with some confusion:


    ��Why Naravitta?��


    ��Because this city is the only way to get to Mateo��s first secret base.��


    ??Luo An briefly introduced the clues he got from Wilfrido not long ago.


    Matteo��s two secret bases are not inside a certain city, but are located on two certain farms.


    From the city of Lavington where the three of Luo An are currently located, to go to those two farms, they must pass through several cities.


    ??As long as you find out whether there are surveillance clearing incidents in those cities, you can deduce the opponent''s route and goals.


    Not long after, Mona��s voice rang on the phone again:


    ��Luoan, the city of Naravita does not monitor disappearances.��


    "continue."


    ??Luo An then named several other cities. After waiting for a moment, Mona''s excited voice suddenly sounded on the phone:


    ��Luo An, I found it!��


    ?Winslow and Michelle instantly looked up and refreshed, and Luo An quickly asked:


    "What city?"


    ��It��s the northernmost ��Capilin City�� in New Mexico!��


    Luo An pulled the map again, looked at it carefully for a few seconds, grinned, and said:


    ��That��s the direction to Mateo��s second secret base. It��s certain that the people who kidnapped Lacey and Chenelle are the military, and they are also looking for nuclear warheads.��


    Winslow and Michelle were very happy to get clues about the other party''s whereabouts, but there was still a question they didn''t understand. Michelle said doubtfully:


    ��Why did the military kidnap Chenelle and Lacey?


    ??Aren��t we also the ones who received the order to find nuclear warheads? "


    ��Maybe it��s because we��re also looking for nuclear warheads.��


    Roan returned the map to Winslow, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a sneer:


    ��There are too many dirty things in the federal army.��


    ? It cost US$6 million to fly 9 sheep, but in the end the sheep were not found because they were eaten.


    ?There are countless "little things" like this in the federal army. With such a large nuclear warhead, it''s unclear who is behind the game.


    ��Mona, call, help call a helicopter.��


    Start the SUV, press the accelerator to the bottom, and drive the car onto the road. Luo An said as he drove:


    ��We set off directly to Mateo��s Secret Base No. 2, where we will wait for Chenelle and Lacey.��

 Chapter 664： minefield, threat, corpse

    Chapter 664: Minefield, Threat, Corpse


    ?At 10:30 in the evening, Colorado, north of Kit Carson City, a small town more than ten kilometers away from the suburbs.


    On the road outside the town, more than a dozen off-road vehicles drove forward quickly in a row, stirring up dust on the road.


    ? Turning an intersection, the driver of the off-road vehicle in front of him suddenly shrank his pupils because he discovered that there were actually landmines placed openly on the road not far away!


    ����


    The driver of the off-road vehicle in the lead quickly stepped on the brakes to stop the vehicle, and the off-road vehicles behind them stopped one after another. Soon, the co-pilot''s communicator rang, and an emotionless male voice came out:


    "what happened?"


    ?The driver quickly replied:


    ��Sir, there are a lot of mines on the road ahead!��


    The communicator paused for a moment, then asked:


    ��Can we go around it?��


    The driver of the off-road vehicle was just about to answer when he suddenly noticed a man walking out of the minefield not far away, so he quickly shouted:


    ��Sir! Someone came out of the minefield!��


    ??The man in the passenger seat next to the driver and the two men in the back seat of the car quickly got out of the car and prepared to take aim. At the same time, the man in the minefield shouted:


    ��FBI! I��m looking for your chief!��


    ��Roann Greenwood, one of the most powerful team leaders at the FBI��s Washington headquarters.��


    ??The middle-aged man frowned slightly and stared at Luo An. Luo An showed no signs of weakness and also looked at him quietly.


    After the words fell, the air became quiet. Several people in the leading off-road vehicle looked at each other and transmitted Luo An''s words through the communicator.


    Luo An looked stable and said:


    ��Thank you for the compliment. There��s no need to tell the truth. Let��s talk about business first.


    Not long after, the door of an off-road vehicle in the middle of the convoy opened, and a tall, middle-aged white man wearing a federal military uniform, with a short haircut and an expressionless face walked towards Luo An.


    Luo An looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a half-smile and said:


    ��Look what happens here after you shoot me.��


    The expressionless middle-aged man did not answer Luo An��s words, but said:


    ����


    ��Aren��t you afraid that I will order you to be shot to death?��


    ��Good evening, Captain.��


    ??The man in the minefield was Luo An. He was holding a golden badge in his left hand and a Glock 18 in his right hand. His expression was very calm and he said loudly:


    "Your commander knows why I''m here. Let him come out and let''s talk."


    ��You don��t panic in the face of so many guns. I feel that the army is more suitable for you.��


    "The two women were not injured, but they saw some secrets. In order to prevent the secrets from being leaked, they are temporarily under my care. When this matter is over, I will naturally let them go."


    At this time, there were soldiers wearing federal army uniforms standing behind the middle-aged man, all aiming their guns at Luo An.


    ?Standing in the minefield, Luo An looked at the epaulettes on the opponent''s shoulders and said directly without any nonsense:


    ��I��m here to pick up one of my agents.��


    You return the person to me, and I will make way for you to pass. "


    ?The air was quiet for a long time, and the middle-aged man said in a deep voice:


    ����


    "you can try."


    The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��My agents know the rules and will not talk nonsense or interfere with your actions.��


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    "If you really don''t believe them, you can believe me. I''m always tight-lipped."


    The middle-aged man��s eyes were very sharp and oppressive. Luo An seemed not to notice and still said calmly:


    ��In addition, I will tell you a piece of news for free.


    Before you, there are several cars heading towards a farm in the distance along this road. Calculating the time, it should be less than ten minutes. "


    The middle-aged man��s face suddenly darkened:


    ��Why didn��t you stop them?��


    ��I can��t stop it, I can��t stop it, you know I don��t have the ability.��


    Luo An spread his hands:


    ��My men are with you, and there are so many of them, how can I stop them?��


    ��Don��t you have so many mines?��


    ��I have a bad memory, I forgot.��


    ������???The middle-aged man��s eyebrows beat, he looked at Luo An with a dark expression, and said in a commanding tone:


    ��You don��t need the FBI to be involved in the nuclear warhead thing. I��ll return those two women to you. You take them and leave immediately. Everything you see will be rotten in your heart. Do you understand?��


    Luo An spread his hands and said nothing. The middle-aged man snorted coldly, waved his hands and said:


    ��Let the man go!��


    "clear!"


    ??Several soldiers behind him immediately responded loudly, and then quickly walked to an off-road vehicle in the distance, and pulled two women out of the vehicle with their hands tied and their mouths pressed to their feet, but their clothes were clean and normal.


    ??Watching Chenelle and Lacey getting up from the ground next to the car, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the middle-aged man:


    ��It is indeed the style of the army.��


    ?The middle-aged man ignored Luo An��s sarcasm and said:


    ��The people are back to you, get rid of the mines quickly!��


    ??Made a gesture to Chenille and Lacey, asking the two women to walk toward the back of the mine. After they left completely, Luo An also stepped back and walked out of the minefield, and then said loudly:


    ��You can handle it yourself, as long as I don��t nod, they won��t explode.��


    With that said, Roan led Chenelle and Lacey to run quickly to the car where Winslow had been waiting for a long time not far away. The three of them got in the car and sat down. Winslow immediately started the car and quickly left the area.


    ����


    ??The tape on her mouth was torn off, and Luo An helped Chenelle and Lacey untie the ropes from their hands. The two women suddenly cursed:


    ��Don��t eat sour radish!��


    ��These **** bugs!��


    "A group of garbage!"


    ����


    The two women cursed a lot. After their emotions stabilized, they expressed their gratitude to Luo An and then asked:


    ��Luo An, what��s going on with those landmines?��


    ��Borrowed by a kind-hearted person.��


    Roan smiled. Those landmines also came from Wilfrido. This guy had prepared many arsenals around the world, and these landmines were among them.


    ?However, not all of these mines were actually activated, and Luo An was not that crazy yet.


    Threatening military leaders with landmines is just plan one. If the threat fails, Luo An also has plans two and three, such as quickly seizing the other party before they can react, threatening to release them, or asking Winslow to fire cold guns from a distance, etc. .


    After confirming that Chenille and Lacey had no wounds on their bodies except for some wounds on their wrists from being **** with ropes, and that they had not been tortured by interrogation, the few of them breathed a sigh of relief.


    After a moment of comfort, Luo An brought the topic to the point and asked:


    "what is going on?"


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Chenelle and Lacey looked solemn and replied:


    ��We found Mateo��s body.��


    ��Corpse?!��


    Winslow and Michelle were very surprised. Roan frowned slightly and continued to ask:


    ��Have you found out who killed him?��


    "No."


    Lacie spread her hands and felt helpless:


    ��Chenelle and I had just discovered Mateo��s body. Before we could go up to check the situation, these soldiers suddenly rushed out and surrounded us with guns.


    The bodies were taken away by the soldiers for disposal, but we didn��t see anything. "


    ��The captain just now said that you saw some secrets before he took you away.��


    Michelle frowned and thought:


    ��Mateo��s body is a secret? Is there something on him?��


    Chenelle shook her head, rubbed her wrist and said:


    ��I have been thinking about this matter during this time. I suspect that Mateo��s body is not important. What is important is..."


    ��The important thing is the person who killed Mateo!��


    ?Luo An��s eyes moved slightly, then Cheniel continued what she said, then pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��Mona, have you found out the identities of the previous group of people?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 665： Military, fighting, taking the blame

    Chapter 665 Military, fighting, taking the blame


    Those mines on the road were not all activated. Roan did lie to the captain.


    ??But before the captain and others arrived in that area, a group of people went to the farm ahead of them. Luo An was telling the truth.


    ?At that time, Luo An, Winslow, and Michelle had just hidden the car, and the cars roared past and rushed into the distance.


    Fortunately, Luo An reacted quickly and saw the license plate numbers of those cars, and then told Mona about them.


    ��I��ve checked it out.��


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Mona on the other end of the communicator immediately replied:


    ��Those three cars belong to the same security company. The owner of the security company is named Kairejia, male, white, 31 years old.��


    ��Security company?!��


    Michelle frowned:


    ��How come there is something about the security company here?��


    ��It should be said, what do the people behind this security company want to do.��


    ??Roan shook his head and refuted Michelle''s words. Among the various security companies in the Federation, more than 90% of the various security companies that survive to the end and operate successfully have someone behind them.


    ��Is it some rich man?��


    ? Chenier��s eyes moved, and she quickly thought of something and guessed:


    ��After all, nuclear warheads are one of the most precious items in the world, and it is normal for a rich man to want to collect them.��


    Luo An waved his hand to interrupt the women��s speculation, pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��Mona, can you find out who is behind this security company?��


    "certainly."


    There was a sound of keyboard tapping on the communicator, and Mona replied:


    ��The people behind this security company don��t do much to hide themselves.


    ?His name is Sobian, he is 36 years old and is a second lieutenant in a certain army of the federal army.


    Many orders from this security company come from Sobian��s connections and recommendations. "


    Hearing the word "Second Lieutenant", Roan raised his eyebrows and thought of something. He turned to look at Chenille and Lacey and asked:


    ��The captain who kidnapped you, do you know his name?��


    ??In the exchange just now, the other party never mentioned his name. Luo An could only call him by his military rank.


    ��His name is Joe Srey.��


    Chenelle quickly replied:


    ��Josrey-Mock.��


    ?Before she and Lacey were controlled, they took advantage of each other''s attention and found an opportunity to chat with a few ordinary soldiers and asked each other''s names.


    ? Luo An pressed the contact:


    ��Mona?��


    "I heard."


    There was a crackling sound of keyboard tapping in the communicator. After a moment, the keyboard sound stopped, and Mona''s voice sounded:


    ��These two people are related! More than ten years ago, Sobian and Qiao Siley entered the federal army together and were assigned to the same team. They had a good relationship.


    ?Josrei was promoted very quickly and is now a captain, while Sobian was promoted more slowly and is now only a second lieutenant, and he is still working under Captain Josrei. "


    After listening to Mona��s description, Winslow, who had been driving without saying much, suddenly grinned:


    ��The federal army is a place that attaches great importance to hierarchy. Those below must obey the orders of those above and cannot question them.


    The two of them were good friends at the same level before, but now they have become superiors and subordinates. This is really..."


    Lacie sneered beside her and added:


    ��Sobian was probably thinking about this when he was sleeping.��


    ��But what do these things have to do with nuclear warheads?��


    Michelle still looked puzzled:


    ��Even if Second Lieutenant Sobian is very dissatisfied with Captain Josre now, he can complain, curse, or even go to extremes, and secretly kill Josre with a gun.


    But this time it is a nuclear warhead. Does Sobian intend to steal the nuclear warhead and then use it to blow up Josre? Isn''t this a bit of a fuss? "


    ��Perhaps intending to retaliate against the army.��


    Mona��s voice sounded over the communicator, and she speculated:


    ��Sobian is probably very dissatisfied with the way the federal army is promoted, so he plans to take this opportunity to steal the nuclear warhead and retaliate against society.��


    ����


    From a rational perspective, Mona��s speculation is somewhat outrageous. But this is the Federation, with very rich biological diversity. There is no high-level reason for retaliating against society. An increase in the price of mineral water can cause explosions, so Mona��s speculation is well-founded and very reasonable.


    After a few seconds of silence, Lacey suddenly clapped her hands and said with a smile:


    ��No matter what, the issue of nuclear warheads is an internal struggle within the federal military.


    ?Captain Joslay also said just now that we, the FBI, are not required to participate. The outcome after the incident has nothing to do with our investigation team.


    So, are we going back? "


    ?Winslow frowned slightly, Michelle and Chenelle looked at each other, and both turned their attention to the team leader Luo An.


    Luo An pondered for a few seconds and slowly shook his head:


    ��No, we still need to find the nuclear warhead.��


    The smile on Lacey''s face gradually disappeared. After thinking for a moment, she raised her head and asked:


    ��Are you worried that the military may take the blame?��


    Luo An said coldly:


    ��It��s not possible, but it��s certain!��


    ? Judging from the apparent procedures of this matter, the people leading the search for the lost nuclear warhead were Luo An and others from the special investigation team at the FBI''s Washington headquarters. Ophelia sent by the military was an auxiliary and helper.


    ??Captain Joslay and these people are "private activities" without explicit procedures. Everything is Captain Joslay''s "own" meaning.


    ? It''s easy to say that the nuclear warhead was successfully found, but afterwards it was just a matter of wrangling and dividing interests among all parties.


    ?Once a nuclear warhead explodes, causing widespread death and widespread nuclear radiation, someone must take the blame.


    By then, Captain Joslay and others will definitely not be much better, and there is a high probability that Luo An and others will not get any good results.


    Because they are a special investigation team looking for nuclear bombs both openly and procedurally.


    If a nuclear warhead explodes, this is a work failure and you must take the blame.


    ?With the protection of Veranith, Mr. Clement, and FBI Director Robert, there is a high probability that Luo An will just be criticized, demoted, take a period of rest, and rise again in the future.


    ?But the fault was not caused by oneself, so why should one be implicated in taking the blame for the mistakes of others?


    Luo An did not have the dedication to "sacrifice himself for the pot", so after finishing these analyses, he said solemnly:


    ��Everyone, we don��t care about the internal fighting within the military. It doesn��t matter how many people they die have nothing to do with us, but we must find the nuclear warhead.��


    Then throw the black pot back.


    ��OK.��


    "clear."


    ? Winslow and the others in the car looked solemn and nodded in unison. These people in the special investigation team shared Luo An''s success and loss.


    Winslow, who was driving, slowly reduced the speed of the car, took a deep breath, and asked:


    ��Are we going to go back the way we came?��


    ��Now Captain Joslay may have gotten into trouble with the people from the security company.��


    Lacie rolled her eyes a few times, raised the corners of her mouth and suggested:


    ��We can do what we did in the previous operation in Pakistan, with the oriole behind us, waiting for the battle between the two sides to end, then moving in behind the scenes to steal the nuclear warhead!��


    ��Doing so will arouse fierce resistance from Captain Joslay and others.��


    ? Chenier shook her head, thought about it and made her own suggestion:


    ��How about we just take advantage of the fact that they are fighting now, enter from behind, and quietly steal the nuclear warheads?��


    ��This method is too difficult.��


    ??Lacie shook her head and retorted. Michelle ignored the argument between the two. She turned her eyes to Luo An and asked:


    ��Luo An, what are you going to do?��


    ?Luo An put his hand on his chin and was silent for a long time, narrowing his eyes slightly:


    ��Is there a possibility that the real nuclear warhead is not actually in Qiaosrey��s place?��


    ?)


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 666： TheArtofWar

    Chapter 666 The Art of War


    At twelve o''clock at midnight, on a distant road in a small town north of Kit Carson City, Colorado, an SUV slowly parked on the side of the road.


    ��The nuclear warhead is not with Captain Joslay and his friends?��


    In the car, Chenille and Lacey all turned their gazes to Luo An, a little confused:


    ��What does this mean?��


    ?Luo An put his chin on his hand and said:


    ��Based on the clues we have available, we can analyze that the man behind the murder of treasure hunter Mateo is most likely Second Lieutenant Sobian, and his real goal is to find the nuclear warhead.��


    ��That��s right.��


    Lacie nodded repeatedly:


    ��I just haven��t figured out what Sobian is going to do with the nuclear warhead.��


    ��This can be discussed and investigated later.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said:


    ��Let��s look at a question first, why did Sobian kill Mateo?��


    ?Winslow and Michelle frowned slightly, and Lacey subconsciously replied:


    Cheniel, who was frowning, thought for a few seconds, then suddenly raised her head and slapped her face:


    ��The real reason Sobian killed Mateo was because he didn��t want Josrae and the others to know where the nuclear warhead was hidden!��


    ��No, that��s not the case.��


    ��From Sobian��s perspective, after Mateo revealed the real address where the nuclear warhead was hidden, he became useless and naturally wanted to kill him.��


    Hearing the idiom translation behind Michelle, Winslow''s eyes lit up and he understood what Roan meant, and Lacey quickly turned around:


    ��Maiteo is dead. Qiao Si Lei wants to find the nuclear warhead and hunt down Sobian. He can only follow the clues left by Sobian, that is, chase them.


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Luo An nodded. In addition to the rational analysis of Matteo''s death and Cheniel''s kidnapping, the "emotional perception" in his mind was also one of the supports for making this inference.


    Lacie turned her head:


    Chenelle shook her head, turned her gaze to Luo An, and said:


    ��What Luo An means is that the reason Sobian killed Mateo was because he wanted Josrei and others to keep an eye on him! Killing people can deepen this trust and judgment!��


    "If Sobian knows that Joslay and others are after him, then after getting the true hidden location of the nuclear warhead, in order to successfully obtain the nuclear warhead without being caught by Joslay and others, the best way is to pretend to be a An illusion!"


    But in fact, this group of people is a bait, just to lure Qiao Si Lei and the group of trackers to follow. In fact, there are no nuclear warheads in this area at all.


    Building plank roads openly, concealing Chencang, making noises in the east and attacking in the west, The Art of War! "


    Roan patted Chenelle on the shoulder and explained to Winslow and Lacey, who were still confused:


    ��Sobian killed Mateo, acted like he had obtained the hidden location of the nuclear warhead, and took people to the specific location.


    The book itself comes from the East, but all major military academies in the Federation have listed it as one of the required courses.


    The real Sobian has taken people to another direction, where the real location of the nuclear warhead is!


    Michelle next to him also reacted at this time and suddenly realized:


    ? Even the cumulative sales of this book ranks among the top 20 in the Western world. MBA training also lists this book as an important subject for learning corporate strategy.


    ��That��s right.��


    ��Don��t you mean the same thing as what I said?


    ??Matteo was killed, so naturally Joslay and others were unable to find the location where the nuclear warhead was hidden. "


    "The Art of War", literally translated as "The Art of War", the actual meaning is "Sun Tzu''s Art of War".


    But these clues were deliberately left by Sobian, they are all illusions! "


    ??When he arrested Wilfrid, the mercenary carrying the nuclear warhead, the "emotional perception" in Luo An''s mind never sent out a strong warning signal.


    The "emotional perception" that usually gets excited when encountering grenades, but today it didn''t fluctuate much when encountering a nuclear warhead, made Luo An wonder if the "emotional perception" was broken.


    Luo An was relieved later, because the problem was not the "emotional perception", but that the nuclear warhead was a fake.


    When laying out the minefield, the "emotional perception" started to remind frantically again, warning Luo An of the danger, and also letting Luo An confirm again that there was no problem with it.


    ?So when leading Chenelle and Lacey to evacuate just now, Roan deliberately let Winslow pass by the road not far from the side of the farm. As a result, the fluctuations in "emotional perception" were very small. When you encounter a pile of landmines, your "emotional perception" reminds you wildly; when you encounter a nuclear warhead with an impact area thousands of times larger than the landmines and an explosion effect tens of thousands of times more terrifying, your "emotional perception" fluctuates very little.


    Luo An could only come to one conclusion in the end: there were no real nuclear warheads on that farm, and the danger determined by "emotional perception" was those of the security company.


    After a few seconds of silence, Lacey suddenly grinned:


    ��I can now guess why Sobian is dissatisfied.��


    ?)


    ?A few people looked at her in confusion. Lacey smiled and said:


    ��This kind of strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west can��t even be seen by the captain Qiao Si Lei. It��s no wonder that the second lieutenant Sobian is dissatisfied with him.��


    ��Promotion in the federal army does not necessarily depend on strength.��


    Winslow chuckled and said:


    ��Sometimes Franklin, or a minister relative, is more useful.��


    Lacie grinned:


    ��So true.��


    Michelle thought for a while and said:


    ��Actually, it��s not necessarily that Qiao Si Lei is incompetent. If we take a look at his perspective, we can see that he actually has no choice.


    Because he was a step too late, Mateo was killed, leaving him with no clues.


    ?The best way to find Sobian is to first follow the clues arranged by Sobian, then catch Sobian''s men in the process, force the men to ask for the true location, and finally find and arrest Sobian. "


    Lacie blinked:


    "I can only follow the enemy''s arrangements. Isn''t this still a lack of ability?"


    ����


    ?Michelle opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute for a moment.


    ?Luo An gently patted Lacey��s arm and said in a deep voice:


    ��There is no need to discuss Captain Joslay��s matter. Our first goal is to find the nuclear warhead.��


    As he spoke, Luo An took a map again, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then ordered:


    "Winslow, you can stay in this area later and observe Captain Joe Slay and the battle on the farm from a distance. Don''t get close."


    This is mainly done just in case, and to keep an eye on the movements behind Captain Joslay and others.


    "clear."


    ?Winslow nodded, and Roan then said to Chenelle, Michelle and Lacey:


    ��You three come with me and we��ll head over to Texas.��


    ??Mercenary Wilfrido said before that it was suspected that Mateo''s secret base was located in a certain area in western Texas.


    ��OK.��


    ??The three women nodded in agreement, and Luo An pressed the communicator and asked Mona to help them contact the helicopter and car.


    The group of people acted according to the plan. Winslow returned first and left, and the four of Luo An began waiting for the helicopter to arrive.


    Because they were too tired, Chenelle and Lacey closed their eyes and took a nap together. Michelle helped them make instant food. Roan stood aside, pondering for a long time, took out his mobile phone and found a number to call.


    ?The call was quickly connected, and a seductive female voice sounded on the phone:


    ��Good evening, Team Leader Luo An, have you figured it out?��


    ��This sentence seems inappropriate to come from a woman��s mouth.��


    ?)


    ?Luo An smiled and got to the point and said:


    ��I want to ask you a favor. I need to talk to your father.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 667： Texas, Roans Seduction

    Chapter 667 Texas, Luo An��s seduction


    ?5:30 a.m., Texas, West.


    ?This area is relatively flat. At first glance, the yellow color of large rocks, dust and sand is removed, and the green of vegetation is very sparse.


    ?This was originally a mining area. After the minerals were mined, it naturally turned into an abandoned area where no one came and no one managed it.


    As for the so-called environmentalists, they will only engage in activities and protests within cities. Where environmental protection is really needed, only a small number of them will do practical things.


    Today, this abandoned mining area is no longer as quiet as it used to be. In front of the mining area, there are four black cars parked, and several white men holding rifles are laughing and chatting behind the cars.


    ?A white man with a short haircut, sunglasses, a dark blue leather jacket and black jeans was sitting on the front of a car at the front.


    ??He was dangling a pistol in his right hand, chewing gum in his mouth, and always looking into the distance.


    ?Suddenly, a black SUV appeared from a distance and headed straight for here along the road in the dust.


    ??The white man frowned slightly. Only one SUV appeared, which was a bit unexpected. So he pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��At the commanding heights, are there other situations around you?��


    ??The sudden movement of the black SUV caused everyone to freeze on the spot.


    The communicator soon rang, and the white man��s men replied:


    "clear!"


    ����


    Hearing this, the man in the leather jacket suddenly changed his face. He quickly stood up and jumped out of the front of the car, shouting an order:


    ��No, boss.��


    At this moment, the communicator in the hand of the man in the leather jacket suddenly sounded, and a strange female voice came from inside:


    Not long after, the black SUV gradually drove to the front of the mining area and slowly stopped.


    ???��


    ��Chase them all!��


    ??The men behind him who were about to shoot looked confused and didn''t understand what was going on. They looked at each other and then all looked at their boss.


    ��Report Captain, retreat immediately! There are no nuclear warheads here!��


    ����


    "you��"


    ??The boss in the leather jacket also looked confused and had no idea what was going on.


    ?As soon as he started talking, the black SUV started suddenly, turned around and ran away.


    ??After receiving the reply from his men, the white man was slightly relieved. He waved his hand to signal the men behind him to stop laughing and stand up, and he straightened up.


    ??The white man raised the corners of his mouth when he saw this, cleared his throat with a cough, and shouted:


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??At one point, he even suspected that the other party was not the guy he was waiting for. Could it be a group of passers-by who drove to the wrong place?


    ��OK.��


    ?A group of people rushed into the car, started the vehicle and chased the SUV in the distance.


    In the SUV at the front, Chenier, who was pretending to be in contact with Captain Joe Slay, put down her communicator, gave a thumbs up to Michelle who was playing with computer equipment in the back seat and hacking into the other party''s communication channel, and then looked at the driver. Luo An smiled and said:


    ��That man is indeed Second Lieutenant Sobian, and they all caught up with him.��


    ?Luo An glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled:


    ��It seems that my guess is correct, the nuclear warhead is indeed not here.��


    Chenier looked at the smoke billowing behind and nodded towards Luo An with admiration on her face.


    More than an hour ago, the three of Luo An arrived in this area. Chenelle and Lacey planned to go to the secret base immediately to search for nuclear bombs, but were stopped by Luo An.


    ?Luo An did not act in a hurry, but asked Michelle to get a map first.


    ? Judging from what happened, the real nuclear warhead was first stolen by Mateo and hidden on the spot, and then he ran away with a fake nuclear warhead.


    Meteo met Wilfrido who liked to talk about firepower. Mateo pretended to be invincible and the fake nuclear warhead was snatched away. Mateo quietly returned and hid the real nuclear warhead. But somehow this incident was discovered by Second Lieutenant Sobian, who led his men to capture Mateo first.


    After a large memory recovery operation, Sobian obtained the location of the eukaryotic warhead.


    In order to successfully obtain the nuclear warhead, Sobian sent people from the security company to lure Captain Joslay and others to pursue them in the wrong direction, while he quietly went to the right place.


    This period of time is neither too long nor too short.


    ? Luo An did a simple calculation and thought about it from his perspective, and found that this period of time was enough for him to transfer the nuclear warhead and hide it elsewhere.


    ???As a second lieutenant who can use open plank roads and covertly attack Chencang, Sobian''s mentality may be unbalanced and lead him to want to retaliate against society, but his brain... but his thinking is most likely fine.


    ??It is impossible for him to guard the nuclear warhead and sit there, waiting for Captain Joslay and others to catch him.


    ?On the contrary, move the nuclear warhead out first, wait for Joslei to arrive here with his men, and then laugh at him.


    Finally detonating a nuclear warhead, or using a nuclear warhead to threaten the other party to agree to make its own demands... This kind of operation may be more in line with Sobian''s mentality.


    Based on this judgment, Luo An made a plan to go to the scene, retreat directly without further discussion with the other party, and lure the other party to catch up.


    One of the ways to do this is to not fight the opponent in a venue that the opponent is familiar with, so as to prevent yourself from falling into a trap and encountering disadvantages.


    The second is to lead the other party into a trap designed by oneself, putting the other party at a disadvantage.


    ?Even if this plan fails, it��s okay if the other party doesn��t follow suit.


    ?That means the nuclear warhead is really here, and you can call for support later and let other departments come here to handle the arrests. No matter what, Luo An will not lose.


    ?The car turned a corner, Luo An glanced at the big rock next to him, pressed the communicator, and said:


    ��Mona, carefully investigate the cars, trains, and even helicopters passing through this area!��


    "no problem!"


    ??Mona agreed, and Luo An pressed the communicator and said:


    ��Lacie, people are catching up with us, so you��d better be prepared.��


    "give it to me!"


    Not far away, behind a big rock, the corners of Lacey''s mouth were raised after waiting for a long time. When the SUV driven by Luo An quickly passed through a certain area and four cars behind it drove in, Lacey stood up suddenly and put the backpack in her hand. Throw it out hard.


    Boom��


    Several grenades prepared in advance in the backpack exploded. The sudden explosion and flying shrapnel startled the people in the four cars.


    ?The driver subconsciously turned the steering wheel to avoid it, and then entered the small minefield prepared by Luo An and others beside the road.


    Boom! boom! boom!


    The landmine exploded instantly when it was triggered. The two cars at the back were blown to pieces all over the ground, and the two cars in front were also parked on the side of the road uncontrollably.


    "Wow."


    With a tail drift, the SUV turned around and parked on the far side of the road. Chenier looked at the dust and smoke not far away, and her eyelids twitched:


    ��I didn��t expect that guy Wilfrido��s goods to be so useful.��


    Lacey on the other end of the communicator grinned. Just as she was about to speak to express her agreement, the second car that had stopped suddenly started to move.


    ?It suddenly jumped forward, hit the car blocking the road in front, opened the road, and then turned around. The front of the car scraped the side of the car in front, leaving a trail of sparks and several parts, and finally evacuated quickly into the distance.


    ��The man in that car is Sobian!��


    Lacie, who was nearest, saw it most clearly, and shouted to the communicator with an eager face:


    ��He abandoned his men and ran away!��


    ��As expected of a federal second lieutenant, he is skillful in betraying his teammates.��


    ?Luo An stepped on the accelerator and the SUV caught up instantly.


    ?At this moment, Mona��s voice suddenly sounded through the communicator:


    ��Luo An, I may have found the nuclear warhead!��


    "where?"


    ��It��s heading for the capital of Texas!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 668： Die together, shocked bombs

    Chapter 668: Die together, shocking bombs


    A certain high-rise building in Washington, D.C., in the distance.


    ??Mona sat at her work station and typed on the computer keyboard quickly, speaking quickly:


    ��Two hours ago, a transport train passed not far from your place in Luo An.


    When passing through that area, the train stopped running and waited for 20 minutes because of a malfunction.


    Other than the transport train, there were no other suspicious cars or helicopters in the area. "


    ��It seems that Sobian has a high probability of hiding the nuclear bomb on that transport train.��


    In the fast-moving SUV, Chenier nodded solemnly, and then asked:


    ��But why would he send a nuclear bomb to Austin? Simply because there are so many people there?��


    ?Austin is the capital of Texas, equivalent to the provincial capital city in the East.


    ��It shouldn��t be like this.��


    Michelle in the back seat of the SUV shook her head and said:


    ??The SUV roared like a beast, speeded up again, and chased the car in front.


    ??Luo An, who was driving, patted Chenelle''s arm, asked her to sit down and fasten her seat belt, and then pressed the communicator:


    ��Mona, take out the phone number I gave you before, call the other end to explain the situation, and ask them to quickly deal with the nuclear warhead.��


    ??Hearing Sobian shouting at him, the increasingly panicked driver ignored that the other person was his boss and roared back angrily:


    ��Motherfu-ker! My foot is almost going to go into the gas tank!��


    boom!


    ?Shot the driver in the head with one shot. Sobian opened the door and kicked the body down, using it as an obstacle to block the SUV behind him.


    ?Mona agreed immediately. Luo An released the communicator, said nothing nonsense, immediately put the gear into gear and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.


    ?Through the rearview mirror, he saw the SUV behind him speeding toward him at a speed visible to the naked eye. Sobian, who was sitting in the passenger seat and wearing a leather jacket, cursed loudly, and then yelled at the driver:


    At the location of the big rock, Lacey was clearing the minefield and controlling the enemies who had been stunned and injured.


    The driver''s veins suddenly popped up when he heard this, and he turned his head with anger on his face.


    Then he saw the black muzzle of the gun.


    ��Sobian himself is from Texas, and his hometown is not far from Austin. He can��t bomb his parents back home, right?��


    Then he controlled the steering wheel himself and moved from the passenger seat to the driver''s seat.


    Sobian was even more angry:


    ��Trash!��


    Boom��


    ��Fu-k!��


    The driver also became very panicked because of the landmines that exploded before.


    ��I��m accelerating!��


    ��Perhaps Sobian was bullied in Austin City when he was in school, so now he wants to use a nuclear warhead to set off big fireworks at his school.��


    Hearing Michelle��s words, she pressed the communicator and guessed:


    ��Hurry up! Speed ??up! The car behind is about to catch up!��


    ��Stop guessing.��


    "no problem!"


    ����


    In the SUV, Luo An quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid the corpse to prevent the vehicle from rolling over due to the corpse, and then ordered:


    ��Chanelle, shoot!��


    "clear!"


    Chenelle immediately took out her pistol, lowered the passenger window, stretched out her arm and started to pull the trigger towards the car in front.


    boom! boom! boom!


    Fierce gunfire rang out, but because the two vehicles were too fast and too far apart, and Sobian drove the vehicle constantly moving left and right.


    As a result, Chenier''s first few bullets either hit the glass or the **** of the car, but none of them hit her vitals.


    Luo An frowned slightly when he saw this, but this was normal. After all, the distance was still quite far, so he increased his speed again and caught up.


    boom! boom! boom!


    In the car in front, Sobian saw the SUV getting closer and closer to him, and the bullets fired at the tires became more and more accurate. He didn''t know where the bullet would hit. Sobian cursed with anger on his face. After pondering for a few seconds, a stern look flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and turned the steering wheel suddenly, pulling the handbrake. The car made a long turn on the road, and the direction unexpectedly reversed.


    �C


    ?Pressing the accelerator to the bottom, tilting the front of the car and rushing forward, Sobian drove the car in the direction of the SUV.


    Seeing the opponent rushing toward her desperately, Chenie''s face suddenly changed, and she shouted while shooting wildly:


    ��Luo An! Be careful!��


    ��Michelle, go to Chenelle��s!��


    Seeing that the other party was planning to crash into the car and die together, Luo An''s eyes suddenly flashed with coldness.


    ?He reached out and quickly grabbed Michelle, stuffed her into the co-pilot Chenille, then turned the steering wheel and stepped on the brakes to pull the handbrake. The SUV instantly crossed the middle of the road and blocked Sobian''s car with the back half of the SUV.


    score


    There was a loud noise, and the two cars collided instantly. The huge impact caused the SUV to skid uncontrollably to the right, and the rear part left, making way for Sobian''s car.


    Because of this collision, all the airbags of Sobian''s car exploded, the front of the car was dented, and the ground was covered with parts from both cars.


    ?The situation of the car was a bit miserable, but Sobian was smiling because he won the bet. He judged that the people in the SUV did not have the guts to gamble with him and would definitely make way for him to give him a chance to leave.


    �C


    ?Hitting through the airbag that blocked the view, I stepped on the accelerator. The sound of the engine was a bit muffled but still usable.


    ? His head was smashed and there was a lot of blood. Sobian ignored the pain, grinned to his ears, coughed, and was about to spit at the SUV next to him before driving away.


    ?Then Sobian suddenly saw a dark ball flying towards the back seat of his car.


    ?)


    Before Sobian could open his eyes to see the specific shape of the ball, an extremely dazzling white light suddenly erupted, followed by a deafening explosion.


    Boom��


    ??More than half of the car window glass was already shattered. The moment the explosion sounded, it was completely shattered and fell to the ground.


    Sobian, who was exposed to the explosion at close range, only felt extremely painful in his eyes and ears, as if he was blind and deaf.


    ��Shock bomb?!��


    ?Sobian, who was born in the army, instantly understood what the opponent had just thrown out.


    Angrily raised his brows and cursed in his heart. He squeezed his wound hard and used the pain to force himself not to faint. Sobian decided that the most important thing was to leave here quickly. Even if his vision was very blurred, he stepped on the accelerator without hesitation. .


    score


    ?The car hit the back half of the SUV again, because Luo An''s next move after throwing the shock bomb was to shift gears and back up, using the SUV to block Sobian''s car again.


    Because Luan was pulled into Cheniel''s arms before the impact, Michelle and Cheniel only had some scratches, and the condition was not serious.


    After the shock bomb exploded, the two women immediately ran out of the SUV, raised their pistols and aimed them at Sobian in the car, shouting:


    "do not move!"


    "Raise your hand!"


    ����


    As time passed, Sobian''s vision gradually recovered. Although it was still blurry, he could see Chenier and her pistol clearly.


    ��Damn the word!��


    Sobian��s face was filled with anger and he cursed loudly:


    ��Do you know how important what I have to do is? This is...��


    ?? Before Sobian could finish his words, Luo An kicked open the broken door of the SUV and stepped out, reaching out to pull Sobian out of the car.


    Sobian was still shouting all kinds of greetings loudly, while Luo An was very calm. He rubbed his slightly bruised arm and said expressionlessly:


    ��Stop swearing for a moment, it��s really boring to repeat just a few words over and over again.


    ?How about we talk about the nuclear warhead first? Like why you snatched it. "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 669： Reasons for grabbing nuclear bombs, independence

    Chapter 669 Reasons for snatching the nuclear bomb, independence


    Why Sobian snatched the nuclear warhead, not only Luo An was puzzled, but Chenille and Michelle were also very curious.


    Mona and Lacey on the other end of the communicator also held their breath silently, preparing to listen to Sobian''s reasons.


    Sobian did not answer immediately, but looked at Luo An carefully up and down, and asked:


    ��You are the head of the investigative team at the FBI headquarters in Washington, Roan Greenwood, right?��


    Without waiting for Luo An to answer, Sobian then sneered, leaning back and lying directly on the ground:


    ��Even worse than the FBI, Joe Slay is really a waste!��


    ?Seeing that Sobian was taking a roundabout way and not answering the question directly, Chenelle frowned and asked sternly:


    ��Answer the question, Sobian!


    ?Where is that nuclear warhead, and what are you going to do to steal it? ! "


    ??The matter of being transported away by train is just an inference. Mona has not received the exact news yet, and there is still the possibility that the inference is wrong, so it is necessary to get an accurate answer from Sobian.


    ��Sent away by me.��


    Sobian laughed, stopped talking nonsense, and answered directly:


    ��If we take the train away, judging by the time, we should be arriving in Austin soon.��


    ?Michelle then asked:


    As a native Texan, Sobian couldn''t stand the federal government''s deception of his own people, so he decided to come out and reveal it all.


    ? Sobian was a die-hard supporter of Texas independent thought, and because of this, his rise through the ranks was slow.


    ��Why do you do this?��


    ��You were betting in your plan that Joe Slay wouldn��t report you for stealing the warhead, but would he?��


    After Sobian finished speaking, the air became quiet.


    ?Luo An felt a little emotional. Let��s not discuss whether Sobian could succeed. Judging from the time, he took action a while ago.


    Chenelle and Michelle were also speechless. They were silent for a few seconds. Chenelle sneered and asked:


    ��Of course he will, I know him too well.��


    After learning that he had been included in this secret operation, Sobian realized that the opportunity was rare, so he quickly formulated his own plan to find the nuclear warhead first. Using his knowledge in the art of war, he built plank roads in secret and smuggled the nuclear warhead into Chencang. Enter the capital of Texas.


    ��I will lead Texas to the right path and restore its independence!��


    ?In a few more years, without him taking action, Texas itself will begin to rebel against the Union and fight for independence due to immigration issues, and with the support and solidarity of several other states, the momentum will become even greater.


    Finally, by coercing public opinion and holding a referendum, Texas became independent and rebelled against the Union!


    ����


    Sobian said that the search for the missing nuclear warhead was a secret operation within the military. Not many people knew about it, so the level of the people sent was not high.


    When Captain Josrei and his men find him, Sobian will directly detonate the nuclear warhead, kill Josrei and others, and throw all the blame for this matter on Josrei and the others.


    ??Then going to the site where the nuclear warhead exploded, Sobian will tell the victims that this is a conspiracy by the federal government. They don��t care about Texas at all, they don��t care about the needs and safety of the Texas people, and they don��t care about the damage caused by those smugglers to the security of Texas.


    All in all, everything is the fault of the federal government. The nuclear warhead this time was caused by the federal government��s secret operation and failure to tell the people the truth.


    ?Although the federal army did not explain it clearly, ideological examination is also an important item in the assessment. Sobian''s idea of ??"splitting the federation" will naturally not be liked and valued by his superiors.


    Sobian put away the smile on his face and said loudly with a righteous face:


    Sobian smiled and said:


    ��Although Qiao Si Lei is afraid of trouble, he is even more afraid of causing trouble.


    I am one of Qiao Si Lei��s subordinates. As long as I go behind Qiao Si Lei��s back and steal the nuclear warhead and it is exposed, the consequences for Qiao Si Lei will definitely not be good. "


    ??In addition, Qiao Si Lei had a hard time marrying a colonel''s daughter and climbed to the position of captain. He would never allow this to happen. So Josrei��s only choice was to suppress the news and quickly **** the nuclear warhead from Sobian.


    After listening to Sobian��s words, Chenier and Michelle looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Luo An with admiration on their faces.


    They did not comment on what Qiao Si Lei did. At least Luo An really found the nuclear warhead, determined that the nuclear warhead was transported by that train, and found someone to intercept it.


    ?Seeing the looks in Cheniel and Michelle''s eyes, Sobian''s eyes moved slightly and he realized something. He turned to look at Luo An and asked with a smile:


    ��Have you sent someone to intercept that train?��


    ?Seeing that Sobian was not angry at all about the failure of his plan, and was even very calm, Cheniel and Michelle''s hearts trembled, their faces changed slightly, and they asked:


    "What do you mean?"


    A lot of possibilities flashed through the two women''s minds instantly, such as there was an ambush on the train, or the nuclear warhead was not there at all, Sobian lied to them, etc.


    "Means nothing."


    Seeing that the expression on Luo An''s face was calmer than his own, Sobian, who had wanted to laugh at him, frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, and snorted coldly:


    ��The nuclear warhead is indeed on that train, but it doesn��t matter whether I am caught or not, because it has been equipped with a countdown device. As soon as the time is up, it will explode!��


    ?Sobian is definitely not able to achieve independence. He has many like-minded people. Even if he dies, those people will continue to move forward.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Sh-t!��


    Chenelle and Michelle took a breath when they heard this. One turned pale and the other turned dark. Sobian burst out laughing when he saw this scene:


    ��Hahahaha��haha��ha��um��


    After laughing a few times, Sobian gradually stopped, his mouth slowly closed, and his face became a little stiff.


    Because Luo An was still very calm and looked at him quietly.


    ����


    Sobian��s face trembled. Before he could ask a question, Chenelle and Michelle looked at Luo An and whispered:


    ��Luo An?��


    ��Don��t panic.��


    ??Roan pressed his hand, signaling Chenille and Michelle not to panic. He took out his phone and checked the time. He looked at Sobian, smiled, and asked:


    ��Mr. Sobian, don��t you wonder why I have been standing here instead of escorting you out of this area?��


    Sobian frowned slightly. Before he could think carefully, a rumble suddenly came from a distance.


    He subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. Chenier and Michelle also turned their heads. They saw smoke and dust billowing on the road in the distance, and the sky was filled with sand. Twenty-odd federal military off-road vehicles formed a long column and were speeding towards here. Coming.


    ??In the sky above these off-road vehicles, there are four on the left and four on the left, painted in dark green camouflage, with various weapons hanging on them. The rumbling Apache military helicopters are moving forward, aiming directly at this area.


    The speed of the helicopter was very fast. The eight Apaches that arrived above Luo An''s group did not land, but circled around them, rumbling with great pressure.


    Not long after, a long line of military off-road vehicles carrying billowing smoke and dust followed them and arrived at Luo An''s group, also surrounding them in the center.


    ??The vehicle was parked, and the door of an off-road vehicle opened. A white man who looked to be in his fifties, wearing a federal military uniform and with a very serious face, walked towards several people surrounded by a group of federal soldiers.


    Seeing a star on the opponent''s shoulder, except for Luo An, all the other three people''s expressions changed.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 670： previous phone call

    The phone call before Chapter 670


    In the federal army, the rank is lieutenant, and above the school rank is general, distinguished by the number of stars on the shoulders.


    The most famous five-star general is the man who likes to hold a pipe and pot in his mouth.


    ?Appeared in front of several people in Luo An. He looked like a white man in his fifties, with a serious face and a star on his shoulder. He was ranked as a brigadier general.


    ?According to the eastern level, it is roughly equivalent to the division commander''s advisor or deputy commander, assisting the division commander in commanding a division, and assisting division-level units in supervising the planning and coordination of operations.


    Seeing the other party approaching, Chenille and Michelle, although they were not in the military system, subconsciously put away their pistols and stood up straight with serious faces.


    ?Sobian on the ground was very shocked. He was originally lying on the ground, looking in a state of ruin, but now his eyes were full of confusion, and he subconsciously put his hands on the ground to get up.


    The brigadier general walked up to a few people surrounded by a group of soldiers. He did not pay attention to Chenier and Michelle, nor did he look at Sobian on the ground. Instead, he looked directly at Roan and said expressionlessly:


    ��Are you Roan Greenwood?��


    ��Yes, Mr. Brigadier.��


    ?However, Luo An is relatively clear about the activation process of a bomb explosion, that is, detonating the ingredients that will actually explode through an detonating device.


    ?Looking at the Apache helicopter gradually rising into the sky in the distance, Luo An smiled and said:


    Luo An nodded in a neither humble nor condescending manner. Since he didn��t know the other party��s name, he could only call him by his military rank. Then he pointed at Sobian on the ground and said:


    ��This is the man who stole the nuclear warhead.��


    ?The brigadier general said the first words to Sobian, and the next words to the soldiers.


    ?The brigadier general nodded without saying anything, and waved his hands casually. A group of soldiers behind him immediately swarmed up, pulled Sobian up from the ground, and held him firmly under control.


    "Um."


    From a macro perspective, the initiation process of a nuclear warhead explosion is not much different from that of an ordinary bomb explosion.


    Just when a soldier was about to stuff something into Sobian��s mouth, Sobian quickly shook his head to avoid it, and at the same time looked at Luo An and shouted loudly:


    ��I succeeded, right? The nuclear warhead has exploded, right? I succeeded!��


    ??The soldiers beside him were too lazy to talk nonsense and directly stuffed something like a rag into his mouth to prevent Sobian from biting off his tongue, and then pulled him quickly towards the helicopter in the distance.


    The chemistry, physics and other principles behind nuclear bombs are too profound. Luo An has not studied them deeply, which is almost as if he has not done anything.


    ��I made a phone call last night.��


    Sobian almost broke his voice because he was so excited. The brigadier frowned slightly, turned around and glanced at him, and said coldly:


    ��That nuclear warhead won��t explode, take it away!��


    When Sobian heard this, he struggled fiercely, his face turned red with anger, and he tried his best to figure out what was going on.


    ��I asked someone to help me contact the Deputy Minister of Defense.��


    Hearing the Brigadier''s words, Chenelle and Michelle also looked puzzled, so they turned their attention to Luo An.


    Michelle blinked. She did understand the theoretical principles behind nuclear bombs. Chenille discovered another problem:


    ��How did you know about this?��


    "Wait a moment!"


    Last night while waiting for the helicopter, Chenille and Lacey were taking a nap back-to-back. Because they were worried that the nuclear warhead had been transferred by Sobian in advance, and he was unable to do anything, Luo An planned to find someone to help intercept it.


    ?Luo An smiled and explained:


    ��I don��t know the specific situation. I only know that the detonation device inside the nuclear warhead has been damaged.��


    ??The FBI can''t provide much help in this regard. It''s not that Veranith doesn''t help, but the FBI itself only targets simple explosives, such as TNT, plastic bombs, etc.


    ??Nuclear warheads are beyond the capabilities of the FBI''s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Department. They can identify and even dismantle them, but they are not capable of dealing with nuclear radiation in the event that it occurs. The only organization capable of dealing with nuclear warheads is the military.


    ?? Luo An initially took out his cell phone and called Veranith about this matter, hoping that Veranith would contact the military.


    ??As a result, the military side kept trying to make detours with Veranith for some reason. Veranith was so angry that her body was shaking but there was nothing she could do. After hearing this, Luo An pondered for a while, took out his mobile phone and made another call. The person contacted this time was Louise, a female reporter with a fox-like face. Her father was a deputy minister of the Federal Ministry of Defense.


    After listening to Luo An''s brief description, the deputy minister''s phone was silent for a long time, and then the voice rang again after a few minutes.


    The deputy minister told Luo An that the nuclear warhead would not explode, and said that the military in the Texas area would be ready to deal with the nuclear warhead. Luo An only needed to lead people to arrest Sobian and confirm The specific location of the nuclear warhead will suffice.


    Because of this, Luo An didn''t panic at all when Sobian shouted arrogantly. He had already asked Mona to send the message, and the army would send people to deal with the train.


    ?After listening to Roan''s explanation, the doubts in Chenille and Michelle''s minds not only did not decrease, but also became more, such as what happened to the military group that was going around with Veranith.


    Luo An couldn''t answer. He didn''t know the matter yet. It happened that the brigadier general hadn''t left yet, so after a few words of greeting, he asked about the situation in this regard.


    ��You did a good job on the nuclear warhead incident, Captain Greenwood.��


    ?The Brigadier General reached out and patted Luo An''s arm, praising him expressionlessly:


    "There are very few outstanding young people like you nowadays, even in the army."


    "Emotional Perception" sensed the other party''s friendly attitude and what he said was true. Luo An accepted the other party''s previous compliments with a calm face. As for the subsequent sentence about the number of outstanding talents in the federal army being reduced, he was noncommittal.


    As the wave of political correctness intensifies in the future, there will definitely be a large number of people of one of the 97 genders in the federal army.


    ?With the participation of LGBTQIAPKDXREW+ and others, the federal army will surely have an endless supply of outstanding talents in the future.


    Without saying much on this matter, Luo An brought the topic to the point and asked about the military who had been trying to make detours with Veranis.


    ?The Brigadier General picked up the phone and looked at it. He did not answer Luo An''s question and said:


    ��The nuclear warhead has been successfully disposed of. There was no explosion or radiation leakage, and it was very well preserved.


    Leader Greenwood, let my people help you briefly treat your wounds, and then take you to a nearby city to rest. "


    ����


    ?Seeing that the other party did not answer, Chenier and Michelle, who had been listening silently, frowned slightly. Roan and the Brigadier looked at each other for a few seconds, then agreed with a smile:


    ��Then thank you, Mr. Brigadier General.��


    ?The brigadier general nodded without saying anything, and waved his hand to summon a captain, asking him to lead troops to help Luo An and the others.


    Lacey was still at the big rock before, carefully guarding Sobian''s men who were stunned and injured by the explosion.


    The brigadier general also sent people to **** them all away, and Lacey and Luo An and others took a car to a nearby city.


    Successfully arrived in Austin, the capital of Texas. Not long after everyone rested, Winslow also returned to a few people from Colorado and introduced the situation he met:


    ����Captain Joslay finally led his men to conquer the farm, and when he was about to lead his people away, a new group of soldiers appeared and took Captain Joslay away directly.��


    In the private room of the restaurant, Lacey took a big bite of the lamb chop, turned to look at Luo An, and guessed:


    ��Is it another factional fight within the military?��


    ?This kind of thing is not uncommon within the federal military. After all, some people have factions. Coupled with a number of arms companies and some members of Congress, even within the federal military-industrial complex, there are a lot of contradictions due to different divisions of interests.


    "maybe."


    Luo An put a piece of beef into his mouth and said while eating:


    ��Let��s leave the internal affairs of the military alone. This case is over. Let��s eat something first and have a good night��s rest. We will return to Washington tomorrow.��


    ��OK.��


    ?A few people nodded and started eating. At this moment, Luo An suddenly made a move, looked up at Winslow, and asked:


    ��Winslow, did you let the people in the SUV go?��


    ��People? What people?��


    ����


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 671： The circumstances behind the case

    Chapter 671 The situation behind the case


    ?Ophelia Modlin, 42 years old, was a person sent by the military to work with Luo An��s special investigation team in the case of the missing nuclear warhead.


    ?? Before launching the pursuit operation, Luo An communicated with Ophelia for a moment and found that this woman spoke half-truths and half- lies, and her lies were not drafted, and her expression did not change.


    ??Luo An chose to arrange Ophelia next to him, and he would carefully observe with his team to prevent her from causing trouble at critical moments and harming other agents when she acted with other members of the investigation team.


    Unexpectedly, Chenelle and Lacey disappeared halfway through the investigation.


    ??Asked Ophelia, she still lied and refused to admit that the military was involved, and asked Roan to focus on finding nuclear warheads, Chenille and Lacey were not important.


    ? So Luo An knocked Ophelia unconscious and stuffed her into the trunk of the SUV. He did this because he didn''t want to continue to listen to Ophelia''s lies, and he wanted to find someone to save her.


    The second reason is just in case. If the military is going to be unfavorable to Chenelle and Lacey, he also has a corresponding hostage counter-threat to delay time and think of a solution.


    After negotiating the mines, Captain Joslay released Chenelle and Lacey. Later, in order to continue to search for nuclear warheads, Roan left the SUV with Winslow and asked him to observe the situation on the farm, and after seeing the situation, he released Ophelia. .


    ?Winslow firmly remembered the previous order, but the subsequent words were accidentally suppressed by the fierce battle scene on the farm.


    In order to prevent himself from being demoted and dealt with, the superior of the laboratory decided to suppress the matter and seize the time to find the thief who stole the keys and high-enriched uranium and retrieve the lost things.


    ??Selectively ignoring the murderous gaze of the other party, Luo An contacted the military and asked them to send someone to take Ophelia away, rest for a night, and return to Washington, D.C. by plane the next morning.


    In the office, Veranith''s face was a little ugly, but when Luo An entered the room, her face gradually calmed down, she nodded and said:


    ??Luo An smiled without saying anything, and sat on the chair opposite her as usual. Veranith rummaged through the table and found a folder and handed it to Luo An, saying in a serious tone:


    Only in the black market where items related to nuclear bombs are bought and sold can there be clues to other participants in the market, and the thief who stole the highly enriched uranium can eventually be found and caught.


    It happened that air-to-air missiles from the Cold War era were discovered during this period.


    Ophelia did not suffer from conditions such as claustrophobia or fear of the dark, as she had experienced a longer period of confinement training in her youth.


    ??Ophelia is not angry about these, but that people can go without food or water for a short period of time, but internal conflicts must be resolved.


    Knocking on the door and entering the room, Luo An smiled and said:


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    ?Luo An was a little surprised and reached out to take the folder. Veranith did not show off and simply explained the cause and effect of the matter with a cold snort.


    ?This kind of thing can delay time, but it cannot fundamentally end it... So the smell on Ophelia''s body at this time is very complicated.


    Some time ago, a dozen keys and 3.2 kilograms of highly concentrated uranium were lost in a confidential military laboratory.


    ?Winslow and Chenille returned to the office area of ??the special investigation team, while Luo An went to Veranith''s office in the headquarters building.


    ����


    ��Good morning, thank you for your hard work on this operation.��


    ??The person in charge planned to have his henchmen take away the nuclear warhead of the air-to-air missile, pretend to be a seller, and go to the underground black market to sell the nuclear warhead to find traces of the thief.


    In the parking lot, Ophelia Modlin, who was released, had a red face, her chest was heaving violently, and her eyes were staring at Luo An and others.


    ��I have roughly understood the situation on the military side.��


    The treasure-hunting star Mateo is actually the person in charge who contacted him. His plan to switch the real and fake nuclear warheads also has the help of the person in charge.


    On the surface, Captain Joslay was sent by the person in charge to "secretly search" for nuclear warheads, but his actual mission was to assist and help. He must ensure that the nuclear warheads were taken away and sold by Mateo, as well as find the thief, arrest the thief, and retrieve the keys. and highly enriched uranium.


    As for Luo An and others, the person in charge was just an investigation team that had to be brought in to clarify the formal procedures, because finding things falls within the scope of the FBI''s work. Ophelia Modlin is the confidant of the person in charge, sent out to observe Luo An and sabotage the investigation activities of Luo An and others at the appropriate time.


    The plan was perfect. The superiors in charge breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the nuclear warhead to find clues about the thief.


    Then Sobian, who dreamed of Texas being independent, jumped out, first killed Mateo, and then stole the nuclear warhead.


    principal:"��"


    ??Just when the person in charge was in a panic and asked his subordinates to deal with Veranis, Luo An made a phone call to the Ministry of National Defense.


    Federal law stipulates that the federal Minister of Defense, Deputy Minister of Defense, and Ministers of the Navy, Army and Air Force must be civilians.


    The Minister of Defense is equal to the Minister of the Armed Services and is a federal official. He has no direct command over the federal military and is only the chief executive.


    As for nuclear-related incidents, the situation is special after all, and the federal Ministry of Defense has the right to investigate and handle it.


    ?Getting information from Luo An, a certain deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense asked his subordinates to check the relevant reports on the air-to-air missile nuclear warhead incident, and found that the actual situation was not consistent with the reported situation.


    Further investigation, the incident of missing keys and high-enriched uranium was quickly exposed.


    principal:"��"


    ?Some things cannot be weighed and weigh several thousand kilograms even if they are not weighed. The same applies to the federation.


    In addition, there is a lot of turmoil between the Ministry of National Defense and the military system. The loss of nuclear bomb raw materials is also a different kind of excuse. So this matter has now begun to move in other directions, such as the struggle for power and the exchange of interests.


    ?After hearing Veranith��s words, Luo An��s eyelids jumped and he was silent for a while. He raised his head and asked:


    ��Sir, where did you get this information?��


    ??The things Veranith told were too detailed, but they involved the military, which even the president couldn''t get involved in. Luo An really couldn''t figure out how she got all this information.


    ��Hehehe����


    Veranith crossed her legs, leaned back and crossed her hands, a hint of imperceptible pride flashed in her eyes, and said with a smile:


    ��Roan, this is Washington, and as we all know, there are no secrets in Washington.��


    Many things are secrets that may never be known to the people of the federal government for a lifetime, but to some people in Washington, DC, they are nothing at all.


    For example, top secret documents in a president��s garage.


    ??The federal army is self-contained and integrated from top to bottom, making it difficult to get the information you want. But the Department of Defense is in Washington, and the people in the Department of Defense are federal government officials.


    Federal government officials are second only to those in the British Empire in their sense of secrecy.


    ?Looking at Veranith with her head held high and a somewhat proud expression, the corner of Luo An''s mouth twitched.


    I don��t know whether to admire Veranith��s strong connections or lament the federal government personnel��s strong sense of confidentiality.


    ?Throwing these messy thoughts to the back of his mind, Luo An opened the folder in his hand and found that it had nothing to do with the case of the missing nuclear warhead, but a follow-up to the previous explosion.


    ? Luo An skipped the boring text and moved his eyes down to the end. The $1.4 million above was very conspicuous.


    ??Luo An raised the corners of his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, his cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, and a familiar and charming voice sounded:


    ��Leader Luo An, I have already helped you, now it��s your turn to help me.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 672： Bonus, Winslow takes time off

    Chapter 672 Bonus, Winslow takes leave


    ??Leaving Veranith''s office with the documents and taking the elevator down, Luo An had a slightly strange expression on his face.


    ??The person who called him just now was the female reporter Louise, but Louise did not specify what she wanted Luo An to do for her. She only said that there was a dinner party next weekend and she asked someone to send an invitation letter to Luo An.


    After thinking for a moment, Luo An put the matter in his heart for the time being, left the building and returned to the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    ??When they returned to the office area of ??the special investigation team, Cheniel and Michelle were cleaning. They had been away for the past few days, and there was more or less dust on the workstation.


    ��Arebatty, good news.��


    Clapping his hands to attract the attention of all the agents, Luo An shook the folder in his hand and said with a smile:


    ��Salaries and bonuses have been released, and I have also sent them to you. Quickly check the text messages on your mobile phone to see if there are any errors or omissions.��


    ?Chenelle and Michelle��s eyes lit up, and Winslow and Lacey quickly found their phones.


    ??The salary of each agent in the special investigation team is not high. Except for Luo An, who is the team leader, and has a little more, the others are at the salary level of senior agents according to regulations, which is no different from ordinary agents in other investigation teams.


    The difference lies in the bonus. Luo An��s special investigation team, in addition to the basic bonus after solving the case, will always have some additional gains.


    ?For example, in the Salles case, Luo An finally calculated that the total cost of the operation was less than $800,000.


    ? ? Helping Luo An recalculate carefully, Veranith found a lot of mistakes. After correcting them one by one, the final number became 1.4 million US dollars.


    The amount of the money was around 5.7 million U.S. dollars. After the urging of Veranith and the CIA agent Roland who successfully entered the management, the money was also deposited into the account provided by Luo An today. The final figure It''s $5.73 million.


    ??Other than being voluntarily paid a large sum of money and still wrangling with certain federal departments, and it is expected that Salles will not be transferred to MI6 in the British Empire within ten years, everyone is very satisfied.


    ?In addition to the funds for handling the case, there are also underground arms that were discussed with the CIA before the operation began.


    "Wow."


    ? Michelle did not say much as usual, and silently took some of the report documents that Luo An needed to write to her workstation.


    Although the participants in the case were taken away by the military, relevant reports still had to be written. "


    Winslow couldn''t get a word in, so he simply swallowed the beef in his mouth, moved his chair next to Luo An, smiled, and said:


    Since the follow-up work on this case was not urgent, and it was already noon, the detectives from the special investigation team called someone to deliver some food to the office area, and took a rest and chatted while eating.


    Of the 1.4 million U.S. dollars, Luo An left 500,000 U.S. dollars to fill in the special investigation team''s case handling funds. The remaining 900,000 U.S. dollars were divided between Luo An and 300,000 U.S. dollars, and the remaining five people each received 120,000 U.S. dollars.


    Luo An: ������


    There was laughter in the office area, Lacey, Mona, Chenelle and Michelle gathered together to study the newly launched women''s clothing, handbags and other items.


    ??Seeing the numbers in the messages on their mobile phones, the eyes of all the agents suddenly lit up. Winslow and Chenelle beamed, Lacey laughed loudly, and Michelle and Mona were also very excited.


    ? Winslow and Chenelle nodded repeatedly, Lacey patted her chest and assured loudly:


    ��Leave the writing work to us!��


    MI6��������


    "no problem!"


    ?Veriness felt that Luo An��s computing skills were so poor that he had forgotten the accounting knowledge he learned in college after working in the FBI for so long.


    Of the US$5.7 million for arms, Luo An received US$2.1 million, Mona and Lacey received US$700,000 each, and the remaining fractions were reserved as case-handling funds for the special investigation team as before.


    ?Luo An chuckled and put away the folder and said:


    ��Everyone, don��t forget the follow-up work on this case of missing nuclear warheads.


    ??Virnis, as Luo An''s superior, as well as CIA agent Roland and his superiors, also gained something after the end of this case.


    ��Luo An, I would like to take a day off.��


    After finishing the first piece of barbecue and throwing the box into the trash can, Luo An then opened the second piece of barbecue takeout and asked vaguely while eating:


    ��Reason?��


    ��As you know, my ex-wife and I divorced.�� Winslow took a sip of his drink and explained:


    ��After the divorce, the son was awarded to her by the court, and the mother and son have been living together.��


    ??Luo An nodded while eating barbecue. During the previous [Bank Gas Case], he had met Winslow''s ex-wife, named Lanita, a woman who was a head taller than Luo An.


    After Lanita divorced Winslow, she lived alone with her son for a while, and then married her current husband.


    Luo An didn''t pay attention to the name of her current husband. She only remembered that he worked in a chemical company. He was not tall, slightly shorter than himself. He and Lanita were taller than men.


    After swallowing the roasted meat, Luo An asked with a smile:


    ��Are you going to take little Jimmy out for another day?��


    Jimmy is the name of Winslow''s son, who is still in elementary school.


    ? Winslow didn��t have much money when he was newly divorced, so he could only watch Lanita live with Jimmy from a distance.


    After joining Luo An��s investigation team, Winslow��s economic level is getting better and better, and he will find time to discuss the time with Lanita, buy gifts for Jimmy, and take Jimmy to amusement parks, zoos and other places to have a good day.


    ?This has happened several times. Except for occasional special circumstances, Luo An has never refused Winslow''s request as a father.


    ??Luo An thought that the reason for Winslow''s leave this time was the same as usual. Unexpectedly, Winslow shook his head and said:


    ��No, it��s not Jimmy this time, it��s Lanita, she��s divorced.��


    ?)


    Hearing this, a question mark appeared on Luo An''s head, he stopped eating barbecue and asked:


    ��So, what are you...?��


    The expression on Winslow''s face was a bit complicated. He was happy, but embarrassed to show it, and also had a hint of embarrassment. He replied:


    ��I plan to remarry Lanita.��


    ����


    Winslow��s words attracted the attention of several women next to him. Lacey immediately moved her chair and came closer, and asked with a smile:


    ��You secretly interfered with Lanita and her current husband��s family affairs, making them miserable and forced them to divorce?��


    ?Winslow rolled his eyes, picked up a candy and threw it at Lacey:


    "I have never been involved in their family affairs. I just learned about Lanita''s divorce. Her friends said it seemed to be due to work issues."


    ??Lacie chuckled, picked up the candy, opened the package and stuffed it into her mouth. Chenelle next to her came over and asked:


    ��Have you talked to Lanita about remarriage?��


    ?Winslow spread his hands, turned to look at Luo An, and said:


    ��I asked for leave this time just because I wanted to have a chat with her.��


    ��OK, no problem.��


    ??Luo An nodded and agreed. Anyway, the current work is neither urgent nor busy, and it does not miss Winslow''s day off.


    "Thanks."


    Winslow��s tone was sincere. Roan patted him on the shoulder, then turned to look at Lacey and said with a smile:


    ��Winslow has asked for leave, and the contents of the document for which he is responsible for that day will be left to you.��


    Lacie: ��???��


    ?After a while of joking, everyone after lunch began to process the follow-up documents, and the time soon reached the end of the day.


    Winslow was a little anxious. He packed up his things, said hello and left quickly. The others walked out of the building in a hurry and drove home.


    Stop and wait at the traffic light intersection, Mona yawned in the driver''s seat and asked:


    ��Luo An, what��s for dinner tonight?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 673： Being a guest, dinner

    Chapter 673: Being a Guest, Dinner


    ?The co-pilot of the car, Luo An, was fiddling with his mobile phone. When he heard Mona��s question, he raised his head and smiled:


    ��Remember before this case of the missing nuclear warhead, Director Elmer of the IRS invited us to his house for dinner?��


    ?Mona thought about it for a moment and asked:


    ��Did he send you another message?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Luo An showed the text message to Mona. Not long after the special investigation team returned to Washington, D.C., he received the message.


    ??The red light turned green, Mona started the car and continued moving forward. The two returned to the villa to rest for a while, changed their clothes and drove to Elmer''s house.


    ??Elmer''s house is located in the east of Washington, DC. It is a medium-sized villa with a very common appearance. There is a large lawn in front of the villa.


    "Good evening!"


    Elmer''s wife, Kate, patted the two girls hard. The two girls smiled and led Mona out of the living room. Roan didn''t pay attention to this little joke and walked into the study with Elmer, while Elmer''s wife went to the kitchen. Start preparing food.


    Luo An: ������


    In front of the villa, Luo An and Elmer hugged each other, and Luo An handed each other a bottle of red wine:


    "small gift."


    It is not impossible to be shot in the back and be considered a suicide.


    The two of them sat down in the study, and Luo An asked casually:


    ��How is Madoff��s Ponzi scheme going?��


    Elmer handed the cigar to Luo An. Luo An took it smoothly but did not smoke it. He nodded and asked:


    ��Where did you hear that?��


    ??Elmer found a bottle of red wine, opened it and poured a glass for Luo An and himself. He took the initiative to touch Luo An with a very sincere smile on his face.


    ??Luo An smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Elmer finished the wine, found a cigar, and asked:


    ��I heard that the case you are handling this time is related to the military?��


    Luo An smiled and waved to the two girls. Mona took out two pieces of small jewelry and gave them to them. The two girls opened the box, their eyes lit up, and they smiled:


    ��Thank you Sister Mona, thank you Uncle Luo An.��


    ??Elmer laughed and led Roan into the villa, and his wife Kate and Mona walked into the living room together.


    Elmer lit his cigar and said:


    ��There are no secrets in Washington, D.C.��


    There are many people and things involved behind this case. If Luo An hadn��t given him advice at the beginning and introduced Mr. Clement and FBI Director Robert to him, the subsequent situation would probably not have been so smooth.


    ��Good evening, ladies.��


    "Good evening."


    "Madoff is very cooperative. We have almost handled it. The main task is to transfer funds to the middle-class families who have been defrauded."


    "Thanks."


    ��Just ask around and you��ll find out.��


    There are two girls sitting on the sofa in the center of the living room of the villa. The older girl is named Xia Anne. Luo An attended her coming-of-age ceremony. The younger girl is named Bella, the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer.


    ? Luo An frowned slightly. This was the second time he heard this sentence today.


    ??If you are a clue collector, this situation is indeed very beneficial to you.


    But if you want to hide something, this sentence also means that some situations are very troublesome.


    ?Seeing the expression on Luo An��s face, Elmer raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked:


    ��Are you thinking about how to keep your case secret?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An did not hide anything:


    ��If some information is leaked during the handling of a certain case in the future, I��m afraid it will be quite troublesome later.��


    ?Seeing Luo An frown slightly, Elmer took out a puff of cigar smoke and said:


    "Actually, it''s very simple. Only people are interested in information, and only people can leak information. People are the carriers of information. In Washington, DC, a lot of information is not that it is not known by others, but that the people who know the information are not aware of it. Can speak, or dare not speak.��


    Roan understood the meaning of Elmer''s words. The other party did not ask him to get rid of the people who spread the news, but he needed to get to know more people.


    ?Through various thoughts, Luo An picked up the water glass, raised it, and started talking to Elmer about other things.


    Not long after, Elmer��s second daughter knocked on the study door and said that dinner was ready.


    "Wow."


    Walking into the kitchen with Elmer and his second daughter, Luo An''s eyes lit up when he saw the dishes on the table.


    The food on the table includes common vegetable salads in the Federation, as well as grilled beef and mutton, but the most eye-catching thing is the red lobsters.


    Because the federation has a separate meal system, in front of everyone at the table is a cheese-baked lobster with its carapace removed and cheese covering most of its body.


    In the center of the dining table, there are two huge lobsters that are as long as an adult''s arms and divided into two lengthwise. They are roasted at high temperature until they are bright red all over. The shrimp meat looks slightly burnt, but in fact the surface is very crispy and exudes a rich aroma.


    ?Seeing that Luo An was a little surprised, Elmer��s director��s wife Kate smiled and introduced:


    ��This is Boston lobster.��


    Roan Greenwood''s hometown is Boston, where he lived with his parents since he was a child. It was not until his parents died and he became an adult that he left Boston for New York.


    ??Although Boston lobster is actually Maine lobster and has little to do with the city of Boston itself, Luo An still felt the care of the Elmer family and said with a smile on his face:


    ��I can��t wait to try it.��


    ��Then try it quickly!��


    Elmer patted Luo An on the shoulder, sat down at the dining table with Luo An, and said with a smile:


    ��Believe me, you will definitely fall in love with this dish. Marrying Kate is the luckiest thing in my life.��


    ??Kate rolled her eyes at Elmer, smiled and sat down with Mona. The two girls drank drinks, and the four adults picked up their wine glasses and clinked them:


    ��Cheers!��


    ??Kate��s craftsmanship is indeed very good. Whether it��s cheese-baked lobster or Boston lobster, Luo An feels that the taste is even comparable to the dishes produced by some restaurants outside.


    Through the conversation, Luo An and Mona learned that Kate had some minor physical problems after giving birth to her second daughter.


    ?Coupled with the fact that Elmer��s salary and bonuses were not low together, Kate quit her job and went home to rest. Cooking dishes was one of her hobbies.


    A dinner was enjoyed by the guests and the host. After the meal, they took a fruit break and chatted for a while. Luo An and Mona got up and prepared to leave.


    Before leaving, Kate brought the two of them some special pickles she made and a family recipe book she made herself. The dishes in it were not only delicious, but the preparation process was also very simple.


    Half an hour later, the two returned to the villa.


    ? Luo Anhe put the pickles he brought back into the refrigerator for storage. Mona sat on the sofa and looked at the recipes in wonder, then raised her head and smiled:


    ��Luo An, we don��t have to eat potatoes and beef next time. The dishes here are enough for us to eat the same for a month.��


    Luo An sat down on the sofa, his body tilted, his head lying on Mona''s lap, and he asked with a smile:


    ��One question, do you do it or do I do it?��


    ��Of course you do it.��


    ?Mona put the recipe aside, lowered her head and smiled:


    ��The food you cook is better than what I cook.��


    ��What about washing the dishes?��


    "It''s also a wash, because you wash it cleaner than me."


    ��Then what do you do?��


    ��I��m responsible for eating and giving you points.��


    Luo An raised his eyebrows and was about to speak. Mona immediately reached out to cover his mouth and changed the subject:


    ��By the way, Caroline called me yesterday and said she had something to talk to you about.


    I asked her what it was about, but she didn��t tell me and insisted on you calling her. What��s going on? "


    Luo An: ������


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 674： Potion Harvest, Roan Bryan

    Chapter 674 Potion Harvest, Roan Bryan


    Washington, D.C., west, in a beautiful villa.


    ??Roan finally called Caroline, but in front of Mona and with the phone at maximum volume.


    ��Good evening, Caroline.��


    ��Good morning, Roan.��


    ?Caroline on the other end of the phone yawned loudly and said in a lazy voice:


    "Have you forgotten the time difference? I am in the British Empire now, and the time is five hours ahead of where you are."


    Luo An raised his eyebrows. He had indeed forgotten the time difference, but this matter was not important. He asked directly:


    ��Mona said you were looking for me, what��s the matter?��


    ??Mona, who was sitting next to her, rolled her eyes at Luo An, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at her phone quietly.


    ??The name Brian was one of the fake names used by Roan when Mona''s father, Javari Evans, disappeared a long time ago and led Mona and Caroline to Europe, using the identity of a private detective.


    After successfully rescuing Javari Evans, names such as Brian were completely abandoned. Only Mona, Caroline, Javari Evans, and Mrs. Hanover knew Roan''s true identity.


    ??Hearing the name Brian again today, Mona instantly became very nervous. They had made many "good friends" during that operation.


    ��They are not looking for you, or in other words, the other party is not looking for Luo An.��


    ?Caroline on the other end of the phone giggled after finishing speaking, while Mona''s face on the other end of the phone slowly darkened.


    ����


    ??Mona frowned, looked up at Luo An, and guessed:


    ��Could it be that your true identity has been exposed?��


    ??Luo An also used several fake names such as Tom and Jerry at that time.


    ��I don��t know, the woman didn��t say.��


    In the process of handling company affairs, a very beautiful woman came to the door and asked for Brian by name.


    ��What does the other party want to talk to me about?��


    Some time ago, Caroline opened a company in the British Empire because the comprehensive tax here is lower than in Europe and there is EU transaction protection.


    Hearing the name, Mona frowned, clenched her hands subconsciously, and looked up at Luo An.


    "I''m not looking for you, I just said that to make Mona angry. She looks very funny when she is angry."


    ��The other party is looking for Brian.��


    Caroline��s laughter slowly stopped and she explained:


    ??Luo An��s mouth twitched and he quickly interrupted Caroline and asked:


    ��Let��s get down to business first. If you weren��t looking for me, then who was looking for me?��


    ��Brian?��


    Caroline yawned again and said:


    ��But I asked for it for you, and she said that she can help you reimburse your air tickets, and provide food and accommodation for free.��


    "should not."


    ??Thousands of thoughts and coping plans flashed through Luo An''s mind, but his expression was very calm and he asked:


    ??? Before Luo An could speak, Caroline''s voice rang again on the other end of the phone:


    ��I checked the identity of that woman and she is a descendant of an established nobleman in the British Empire.


    ?Some time ago, several people died in the old noble family. I suspect that the other party came to Luo An for help and asked him to help solve the case, just like Sherlock Holmes in the novel. "


    ��Just pretend this never happened.��


    ??After pondering for a moment, Luo An narrowed his eyes and said:


    ��Brian is dead and physically retired from the private detective business.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Caroline on the other end of the phone smiled. He knew Luo An would choose this way, but it was still necessary to tell him the matter.


    Caroline hung up the phone after a brief chat and catching up on her beauty sleep.


    Mona on the other end of the phone had a worried look on her face. She put the phone aside. Luo An reached out and hugged Mona into his arms, saying that there was no need to panic. There would always be a solution to the problem.


    ??However, doing nothing and waiting was not the best plan, so Roan asked Mona for her cell phone, preparing to call Jawali and ask him to check the identity of the old aristocratic woman Caroline mentioned. "I''ll come! I''ll call him!"


    After hearing this, Mona immediately took out her mobile phone and prepared to chat with Jawali. After all, the original mission was to rescue Jawali, and she would never agree if Jawali did not help.


    Jawali, who was at a loss on the other end of the phone, agreed to Mona��s investigation request without hesitation.


    ?But Mona was still worried, and after a few discussions, she asked Jawali to spend $500,000 to investigate the matter carefully.


    ����


    ?Seeing his daughter using the skill of turning her elbows outward, and being more worried about Luo An than himself, Gyawali was heartbroken and silently transferred $500,000, and then hung up the phone.


    Caroline''s affairs have come to an end for the time being. News of the investigation will not come out in a short time. Mona and Luo An chatted for a few words. It was already late and they got up and went upstairs to rest.


    The next day, in the office area of ??the special investigation team, Winslow was not on leave, and the others were sitting at their respective workstations processing the case follow-up procedure documents.


    As the leader of the investigation team, Luo An also sat behind the computer in the team leader''s office with a serious look on his face...fishing.


    During the lunch break, Lacey, Chenelle, Mona and Michelle gathered together to chat and gossip after lunch. Luo An returned to the team leader''s office, closed his eyes to rest, and at the same time opened the system page in his mind.


    ��The Case of Lost Nuclear Warhead��There are many cases. The system gave Luo An a rare rating of "Excellent", and he has accumulated 6 treasure chests.


    The rough cutscene ended, and each of the 6 treasure boxes contained [Stamina Potion x2].


    ��Hemostatic Agent x1��


    ��Swift Potion x1��


    ��Antidote x2��


    Then open the system warehouse page, which now contains [Stamina Potion x8]


    ��Hemostatic Agent x9��


    ��Antidotex7��


    ��Swift Potion x8��


    ��Regeneration Potion x7��


    ��Strength Potion x4��


    ��Sensitive agent x1��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x8��


    ��Featherfall Potion x7��


    ��Scuba Potion x3��


    There is still no [Danger Sense Potion], [Strength Potion], [Swift Potion], etc., which appear to be one-time potions. The effect will disappear shortly after each use.


    But every time 90% or even 95% of the drug''s effect disappears, there will always be a small part of the drug''s effect that stays in Luo An''s body permanently.


    As time goes on, Luo An''s strength and speed are gradually increasing at a slow but perceptible speed.


    The [Stamina Potion] is also slowly increasing Luo An''s upper limit of physical strength. Every weekend, Mona, who plays poker with Luo An, will be very tired and not want to get up the next day.


    ?In addition, the requirements for active-duty soldiers in the Eastern Army are that the minimum is to complete 45 standard push-ups within 2 minutes to be considered qualified. If you can reach 60, you are excellent, and if you can reach 100, you are showing off.


    ??The number of push-ups clearly recorded in the world was a soldier from the East who did 2,902 at one time.


    Luo An didn''t calculate it in terms of time. Judging from the quantity alone, when he was exercising in the villa room some time ago, he did 600 standard push-ups in one go and didn''t feel tired.


    ??Had it not been for Mona entering the room to give him fruit, Luo An felt that he could have made another 600.


    ?There is also the most strenuous long-distance running event. Luo An tried it on the treadmill in the villa, and it took 39 minutes to run 10,000 meters.


    There is indeed a big gap between the world record time of 26 minutes and 11 seconds for 10,000 meters, but Luo An has not received long-distance running training, and he runs completely by feeling. At the same time, he does not feel particularly tired or dehydrated, and he can even continue. .


    ?This means that he has excellent speed and explosiveness in short distances, and he also has endurance far beyond many people when running long distances.


    ??Luo An continued to ponder the effects of other potions on him. At this moment, someone knocked on the office door and pushed it open. Lacey shook the items in her hand:


    ��Luo An, I have a letter of invitation for you.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 675： Dinner, Ministry of Defense

    Chapter 675 Dinner, Ministry of National Defense


    ?Taking what Lacey handed over, Luo An opened it and looked at it, and found that it was the invitation letter that the female reporter Louise said before, inviting herself to a certain dinner party.


    The dinner was held at a well-known high-end hotel in Washington, D.C. The people who went in and out of the hotel were either rich or wealthy, and many of them were regulars in newspapers or TV reports.


    "Wow."


    Seeing the content and address in the invitation letter, Lacey opened her mouth slightly, then said with a smile:


    ��I��ll give you a suggestion, Luo An. Before attending this dinner, you should eat more to fill your stomach.��


    ?Luo Anlan turned his eyes slightly doubtfully, Lacey spread her hands and explained:


    ��A dinner party of this size usually has a lot of media present. In order to be photogenic, most of the food at the dinner is mainly about looking good, not necessarily delicious.


    ?In addition, not many people actually eat it, because eating too much will easily make your belly bigger, which will ruin your serious appearance. "


    Just like at the Hollywood Oscar Awards party, it is normal for female stars not to drink water, eat or go to the bathroom for several hours, and tighten their muscles and lower abdomen all the time.


    For more than half a month, Luo An fished in troubled waters openly. He went to work at the same time every day and got off work at the same time. He ate and drank during the day, exercised at night, and rested and played with Mona on the weekends. The life of a tax thief was extremely happy.


    At seven o''clock in the evening on Sunday, Luo An put on a high-end suit and drove to the dinner venue.


    ?Luo An smiled and did not answer the other party''s words.


    Rather than letting Louise misunderstand there is still a chance, it is better to pretend to be unreasonable, so Luo An did not talk nonsense and went straight to the point:


    ??Luo An glanced around, walked to the cold table not far away, and began to taste food he had never seen before.


    ��I thought you would say that you were anxious to see the pretty Miss Louise tonight.��


    ��I don��t know what Miss Louise said she wanted me to help with before, what exactly is it?


    Not long after, Luo An was tasting a kind of shellfish from the polar regions under the introduction of the waiter, when a familiar female voice sounded behind him.


    ?Seeing this scene, Luo An silently parked the car far away, bypassed the media, and walked into the hotel leisurely.


    ��I don��t like the media, so I came early.��


    ??The other party��s hair was pulled up high, and she was wearing a light golden backless dress. Her delicate fox-like face had a light make-up, and her eyes were very attractive to men.


    "Good evening."


    But Luo An really couldn''t accept Louise''s previous proposal to purchase his white genetic material.


    As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to help Miss Louise. "


    ?? Louise rolled her eyes slightly when she saw this, and put the champagne aside:


    ��You hate me so much?��


    ?Picking up a glass of champagne beside Luo An, Louise raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a smile:


    ?There were not many guests coming at this time, and many service staff in the luxuriously decorated hall were making final inspections.


    "Good evening."


    ??Whether it is face, figure or manners, Louise is not inferior to those Hollywood stars. In terms of eye-catching, it is difficult for Luo An to say that he hates each other without conscience.


    ?At this time, a large number of media gathered at the gate, and all kinds of guns and cannons were aimed at the open area in front of the hotel gate.


    ??Luo An put the unfamiliar shellfish aside, wiped his hands with a napkin, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Louise, smiling:


    ��I didn��t expect you to come so early.��


    Louis took a small sip of champagne and said with a smile:


    ��I will try my best, but success is not necessarily guaranteed, right?��


    ?? Louise used her experience as a reporter to quickly find the problem in Luo An''s words, wrinkled her nose, and looked at Luo An unhappily:


    ��What a slippery guy. I feel like the FBI may not be suitable for you. You should go work in Congress.��


    Without waiting for Luo An to speak, Louise picked up a cherry and stuffed it into her mouth, turned around and said:


    "Come with me, someone wants to see you." Looking at Louise''s delicate and white back, Luo An had a few thoughts flashing through his mind, put down his glass and followed her.


    ?Leaving the hall and walking through the corridor, Louise took Luo An into the deputy hall not far away. They continued to turn right, and a conference room appeared in front of them. Louise opened the door and walked in without knocking.


    This is a standard European classical style conference room, with a long dark red table and high-backed wooden chairs. It looks more like a room in some old castle in Europe.


    ?Style Decoration Luo An glanced at it and put it behind him, then turned his attention to the people in the room.


    There are eight men sitting at the conference table, three on the left and five on the right. They are all young and wearing black suits.


    ??Seeing Louise suddenly pushing the door open and walking into the room, a look of helplessness flashed across the face of the man in the middle on the left. The five people on the right nodded naturally and stopped the discussion, got up and walked out of the room.


    ��Roann Greenwood, FBI Headquarters in Washington, leader of the Special Investigation Team.��


    ?The door to the conference room was closed, and Louise stood in the center and introduced both parties:


    ��Deputy Secretary of Defense, Hernandez.��


    ��Good evening, Mr. Minister.��


    ??Luo An smiled and stretched out his hand towards the other person. The moment he saw the other person''s face, he recognized the other person''s identity.


    When Mona was asked to investigate Louise��s background before, Luo An had seen photos of her parents. Deputy Minister Hernandez was Louise��s father.


    "Hello."


    Deputy Minister of Defense Hernandez showed a smile, stretched out his hand to shake Luan''s hand, and said:


    ��Team Leader Greenwood looks younger than in the photo.��


    At this moment, Louise said next to her:


    ��You guys chat, I��ll go out for a while.��


    With that said, Louise turned around and walked out of the conference room. Hernandez gave the men next to him a look, and the two men followed him out of the room. After a few seconds, only Luo An and Huer were left in the conference room. Nandes.


    "sit."


    ?Hernandez waved his hand and the two sat down. He looked at Luo An with a half-smile and said:


    ��Leader Luo An, I��ve actually wanted to meet you for a long time.


    I''m very confused about how you attracted Louise and actually made her want to have a child for you. "


    Facing the faint sense of oppression coming from Hernandez, Luo An did not panic at all, and the smile on his face remained:


    ��Mr. Minister, you made a mistake.


    It is the man��s idea to have a child, but it is the woman��s idea to have a child. These are not the same thing.


    ?? Louise��s idea was completely the woman��s idea. I didn��t know about it at all, and I didn��t agree with her. "


    ? Seeing that Luo An was neither humble nor arrogant, Hernandez''s eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible appreciation, but his words were still stiff:


    ��You mean, you don��t like Louise, right?��


    ��In fact, I already have a girlfriend. I think Mr. Minister has investigated me and should know this.��


    Luo An smiled and said calmly:


    ��Like Mr. Minister, I am a dedicated man.��


    ??Hernandez looked at Luo An quietly, and Luo An also looked back quietly. After a few seconds, the gloom on Hernandez''s face suddenly disappeared, and he smiled and clapped his hands:


    ��As expected of the young man who is often praised by Robert, you are indeed outstanding.��


    "Thanks."


    ??The other person was talking about FBI Director Robert. Luo An smiled and thanked him.


    ��Two things.��


    ??Hernandez had other things to do. He didn��t have much time and stopped talking nonsense. He turned around and took out two items from the briefcase next to him, handed them to Luo An and said:


    ��The Ministry of National Defense is preparing to conduct a secret operation and needs a suitable sponsor. I think you are more suitable.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 676： The militarys thanks, Louises request

    Chapter 676 The military��s thanks, Louise��s request


    ?Southern Washington, D.C., a well-known hotel.


    In the conference room next to the side hall, Deputy Minister of Defense Hernandez took out a mobile phone and a photo from his briefcase and pushed them in front of Luo An.


    Roan did not reach out to pick it up. He looked at Hernandez, frowned slightly, and asked:


    ��Mr. Secretary, since it is a secret operation, it is more appropriate for a department under the Department of Defense to handle it. I come from the FBI, which is an agency under the Department of Justice.��


    ��Normally, that��s true.��


    Deputy Minister of Defense Hernandez nodded. The Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Finance are at the same level, and each department has its own administrative agency.


    ��But the circumstances of this case are somewhat special.��


    ?Hernandez picked up the water on the table, took a sip, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Certain departments within the Ministry of Defense are not suitable to participate in the investigation.��


    ??Luo An still did not immediately agree to the other party. After all, he is the FBI, which belongs to the Ministry of Justice, and the other party is the Deputy Minister of Defense, so he said that this matter needs to be ordered by the Director of the FBI.


    "Can."


    ?Hernandez''s expression remained unchanged, not angry at all, and the admiration in his eyes even increased a bit.


    ��The second thing is related to the federal army.��


    Because Hernandez saw from this that Luo An was not the kind of person with strong professional ability and zero political IQ.


    ??Louis walked up to Luo An, raised her head, smiled on her delicate fox-like face, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said:


    ??Hernandez was busy with his duties as deputy minister and did not have much free time. He left the meeting room after having a brief chat on the official business.


    ??Hernandez put down the water glass and said that he had sent someone to send the relevant information to FBI Director Robert. Roan would be able to get the information when he turned back. He continued:


    ??The sound of the door being locked brought Luo An back to his senses. He looked up and saw Louise with a smile on her lips, champagne in her hand, and a light and charming scent of perfume. She walked towards him step by step with cat steps. He raised his eyebrows and said:


    ��Miss Louise, your father just left.��


    ?Seeing Luo An react so quickly, Hernandez had a smile on his face and even more appreciation in his eyes.


    Looking at the open door of the conference room, Luo An silently recalled the conversation just now and thought about the details.


    ��Good.��


    ��Team Leader Greenwood helped the Federal Army a lot in that incident some time ago, and the Federal Army is very grateful for this.


    ??The security company was, after all, related to the people involved in the case, and the military was not good at handling matters in this area, so the company was left to Team Leader Greenwood to help handle it. "


    ??The military is a special presence in the Federation. Luo An did not intend to have conflicts with those people, and he was not interested in the fight between the Ministry of National Defense and the military. So after thinking for a while, he agreed to Hernandez and said with a smile:


    ��No problem, Mr. Minister, I will definitely deal with that security company properly.��


    ��Since we are talking about my father, do you have any idea of ????struggling for more than ten years?��


    ?At this moment, Louise walked into the conference room alone again. After closing the door, she also turned the lock on the door.


    ?Hernandez said calmly:


    When working in the federal government, it doesn��t matter if you have poor abilities. Only by knowing the rules and being able to use them can you go further.


    Roan raised his eyebrows slightly. He understood the meaning of Hernandez''s words. The security company was obviously a different kind of hush money, and the military hoped that the matter would end there.


    ?On the contrary, Luo An��s political wisdom is not weak and he understands the boundaries of various things.


    Hearing the words "military", Luo An''s brows moved slightly, remembering the nuclear warhead loss case that had just occurred.


    "No."


    Luo An smiled and shook his head:


    ��I like to get what I want on my own.��


    ��Wouldn��t it be better to avoid detours?��


    ��I like to see the scenery on the road.��


    ??Luo An said:


    ��Miss Louise, let��s be direct, is there anything I can do to help you?�� ????��You are so boring.��


    Louise rolled her eyes slightly, took a sip of champagne, turned around and sat directly on the conference table, her long skirt fell down to reveal a pair of long, white thighs, and she said softly:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, I want to join your special investigation team.��


    "impossible."


    Roan rejected Louise without even thinking about it.


    From the first contact to the present, Luo An was convinced that this Louise was not an economical person.


    ?Coupled with her father, the deputy minister, and Mona, who is in the investigation team, he would be crazy to let Louise join the special investigation team.


    ?Luo An shook his head and said:


    ��Miss Louise, the life of a reporter is colorful, and the work of the special investigation team is boring and dangerous. For your future safety, I cannot agree.��


    "You are afraid that Mona Evans will be jealous and that I will confront her, right?"


    Louis put the champagne on the table, crossed her arms across her chest, revealing the bottomless abyss, and asked with a smile:


    ��Is that Mona so good? When I stand with her, I really can��t figure out what you like about her.��


    Luo An spread his hands and said with a smile:


    ��Like is a feeling. Coincidentally, I feel very comfortable with her, and she feels very comfortable with me. It��s that simple.��


    ?Louis narrowed her eyes slightly:


    ius is that you feel uncomfortable when you are with me?


    ?Luo An smiled slightly and said nothing. Louise had a flash of displeasure in her eyes, snorted and left the conference table, saying:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, I heard some time ago that an action movie based on you is about to be released, right?��


    ����


    ? Luo An was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that Louise was talking about the film rights that Columbia Pictures bought after the [First Lady Bombing] incident.


    The copyright of the story was sold and after receiving the money, Luo An put the matter behind him.


    During this period, a director called and asked Luo An to go to the company to review the script revisions, and to go sightseeing at the filming location.


    ??But the original contract stipulated that the box office of the movie after its release would not have anything to do with Luo An.


    ??So after Luo An read the script and determined that he had a positive image, he rejected the other party''s other invitations and didn''t care at all how the other party made the movie.


    ?It doesn''t matter whether the movie is good or bad. If Louise hadn''t mentioned it, Luo An would have almost forgotten about it.


    ��This is indeed the case.��


    A simple calculation of the time in his mind showed that it was indeed the end of the film production cycle. Luo An nodded and asked:


    ��Which movie does Miss Louise want to have a cameo role in?��


    ?? Luo An remembered that there was a mayor or a governor''s daughter who wanted to be a big star and mentioned this matter to him.


    ?Louis sneered and shook her head:


    ��No, I��m not interested in showing my arms and legs in the movie, or showing off to half-female men.��


    She is a feminist, and due to her family background, Louise looks down on female stars in Hollywood.


    ?Luo An frowned slightly, not understanding what Louise meant:


    ��What do you think?��


    ��The highest award a journalist can receive is the Pulitzer Prize.��


    ??Louis crossed her arms, stared at Luo An and said:


    ��But the conditions behind winning the Pulitzer Prize are all political games, and there are many shady stories... Haha, boring.


    So I wanted to change my career to write a story, a story that could be sold throughout the federation.


    Leader Luo An, you have a lot of experience. I want to use you as a prototype to write a detective novel similar to Sherlock Holmes.


    In other words, I want to stay with you for a few months to see how you solve the case and accumulate materials. "


    Luo An: ������


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 677： Chiang 210

    Chapter 677 Polonium 210


    ?Luo An finally rejected Louise. Not to mention the possibility of being in close contact for a few months and the system in his mind being discovered.


    ?From Mona��s perspective alone, it is impossible for Roan to agree to Louise.


    A few months later... Luo An had already imagined in Luo An''s mind the scene where Mona looked at him coldly and said nothing, then kicked him out of bed at night.


    Coupled with the fact that it is not convenient to reveal the details of some cases, and Louise��s minister father, Luo An��s only choice is to reject the other party.


    ?However, Louise helped him after all when he used her hand to contact Deputy Minister of Defense Hernandez.


    ?Luo An thought for a moment and called Louise to contact her superior, the FBI''s Washington headquarters, Senior Assistant to the Secretary of Crime, Cyber, Response and Services, Veranith.


    ?Veriness has the authority to read and view a lot of case documents. In addition, she knows the rules and knows how to measure, which can definitely meet Louise''s need to accumulate materials.


    The dinner was over and we drove away. It was already late at night when Luo An returned to the villa.


    ?Mona did not sleep, but sat on the sofa watching TV and waiting for Luan, and made him some midnight snacks.


    "Wow."


    Luo An was a little confused. There were seven departments under the Ministry of National Defense: the Army Department, the Navy Department, the Air Force Department, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the National Reconnaissance Office. They couldn''t personally investigate any cases.


    In the office, Mr. Clement didn��t waste any time. He handed a dark gray document directly to Veranith and introduced:


    ��This case is indeed a special case, and it is not suitable for the Ministry of National Defense to conduct an investigation in person.


    ��The director of the Ministry of National Defense has told me the situation there.��


    ����


    In other words, they do not have the appropriate department to conduct the investigation. "


    "Um"


    The next day, Monday, as soon as Luo An arrived at the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, he received a call from Veranith and went to Mr. Clement��s office with her.


    ����The examination results showed that there was a small amount of polonium 210 in the victim��s body, and he died of radiation poisoning����


    ??After finishing the supper, Luo An washed the dishes, took a shower and entered Mona''s bedroom. The two hugged each other and fell asleep.


    Veranith next to her opened the folder. Inside was a photo of a white man, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He was wearing a suit and facing the camera with a standard eight-toothed smile.


    "Thanks."


    ?Looking at the steaming food in the kitchen, Luo An smiled and hugged Mona from behind, kissed Mona''s ear lightly, and laughed softly:


    ?Luo An turned his head in confusion. Veranith swallowed and handed him the folder. Luo An looked down and found that there was not much content in it.


    Seeing the word polonium-210 in the document, Luo An also had a flash of surprise in his eyes.


    ?This is why Luo An and Mona like each other. Sometimes they do quarrel, but they always think about each other more often.


    A month ago, the former director of the NSA died in the hospital. The cause of death was announced to be complications from cancer, but the real cause of death was actually poisoning.


    ??The white man��s name is Eric Baldwin, and his identity is nothing special. He is just the former director of the Federal National Security Agency (NSA) who retired less than half a year ago.


    ??Furthermore, it is an inert element and has almost no chemical reaction with other substances. It is difficult to be metabolized and decomposed by the human body and difficult to be excreted from the body. Its presence in the body is almost equal to waiting for death slowly.


    Seeing the message under the photo, Veranith''s pupils shrank suddenly and she exclaimed:


    ��Isn��t it a normal death? Is it poisoning?!��


    Polonium 210, a radioactive element, has a very short half-life but is very radioactive.


    When it decays, it will release high-energy traces, seriously damaging human cells and tissues, and is very toxic. A very small intake is enough to cause poisoning and death in the human body.


    ��Is it made in Vodka Country?��


    ?Just as Luo An was recalling the information about polonium 210, Veranith frowned and asked aloud:


    ��But if it was done by Vodka Country, why did it come to us, the FBI?��


    ? Luo An came back to his senses and remembered a piece of news he saw in his previous life, which was unknown whether it was true or false, that is, agents of the Vodka Country had used polonium-210 to assassinate a former agent. This incident had attracted great global attention to polonium-210.


    Luo An also frowned. The water between countries was too deep and he couldn''t control it. He didn''t want to wade through it at all.


    Mr. Clement leaned back in his chair, shook his head and said:


    ��Although after this incident broke out, the National Security Agency (NSA), the Central Security Service (CSS), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and other departments all claimed internally that it was done by the Vodka State. But in fact, everyone knew it in their hearts. , the real culprit behind this incident is not Vodka Country."


    The Cold War and the decades after the end of the Cold War have allowed the Federation to develop a habit of throwing blame on the Vodka Country no matter what.


    This can be seen in Hollywood movies. The final villains in most movies are people from the country of vodka.


    As operators, people at the top of the federal government know what is true and what is false.


    ?However, over time, blaming others has become a kind of political correctness. Even they themselves will subconsciously think about Vodka Country when encountering something.


    ?You tell so many lies that you start to believe them.


    Hearing that the culprit behind the scenes was not Vodka Country, Veranith breathed a sigh of relief and asked:


    ��Then who is the real mastermind of this matter?��


    "have no idea."


    Mr. Clement turned his attention to Roan and said:


    ��That��s why this matter came to us.��


    ?Over the course of more than a month, after investigations by the National Security Agency (NSA), the Central Security Service (CSS), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and other departments, it was determined that the person responsible was not from Vodka Country.


    After habitually throwing away the blame, these departments suddenly discovered that since it was not a matter between countries, this case became a simple poison murder case.


    ??The deceased Eric Baldwin was the former director of the Federal National Security Agency (NSA) who had just retired less than half a year ago.


    There are many political enemies, including within these departments, so the National Security Agency (NSA), Central Security Service (CSS), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and other departments were all stunned:


    It��s broken, I��m a suspect!


    ��This is really����


    Veranith''s face trembled, and she opened her mouth not knowing what to say.


    Mr. Clement found another folder, opened it and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Luo An. There were several stamps on the paper. He introduced:


    ��This is an executive order issued by the Federal Vice President, which allows the investigation of the person in charge of the case. When encountering certain special circumstances, act first and find evidence later.��


    Polonium-210 is an extremely dangerous assassination weapon because it is extremely toxic and difficult to detect, allowing criminals who commit assassinations to commit crimes with confidence.


    Since the National Security Agency (NSA) and other departments have determined that the real behind-the-scenes culprit is not the Vodka Nation, but individuals, certain organizations, or even people in their departments, the case has become the scope of the FBI''s responsibilities.


    After a brief discussion, Luo An and the two took the relevant documents and left Mr. Clement��s office.


    Veranith returned to her office to help her contacts investigate clues in those departments of the Ministry of Defense, while Luo An returned to the special investigation team.


    ??That afternoon, there was a knock on the door of the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, and a female agent wearing glasses, with short brown hair, and about 1.65 meters tall walked in.


    She is an NSA agent who was temporarily seconded, named Elise.


    ��We found the suspected poisoner.��


    After briefly introducing her identity, Elise handed the documents she brought directly to Luo An and said:


    ��The other party is from a professional killer organization.��


    ��Killer organization?!��


    Hearing this word, Luo An''s eyes narrowed slightly and his heart skipped a beat. Elise thought that Luo An didn''t understand the organization''s situation, so she introduced:


    ��This killer organization is very unscrupulous in order to achieve its goals.��


    "for example?"


    ��For example, they specially trained an AIDS team to kill a rich man who liked women very much.��


    ����


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 678： [Radiation Poisoning Case of Former NSA Director]

    Chapter 678 [Radiation Poisoning Case of Former NSA Director]


    Monday, 3:30 pm, office area of ??the special investigation team.


    ?In the middle of the office area, Mona and Michelle are investigating the situation of the killer organization based on the information provided by NSA agent Elise.


    ��AIDS Squad����


    Beside them, Winslow and Lacey suddenly twitched their mouths when they heard the killer organization��s methods, and asked speechlessly:


    ��AIDS seems to be a disgusting thing for the rich, and it cannot kill people. After all, there are targeted drugs.��


    ��I don��t know about this either.��


    Agent Elise spread her hands and said:


    ��We only investigated what happened. As for why the killer organization did this, we don��t know.��


    ��When we catch the killer of this organization, we will find out by asking.��


    Roan smiled and patted Lacey on the shoulder, then looked at Mona and asked:


    ?Elise looked serious, nodded heavily and said:


    ��As for how it was found out...I��m sorry, I can��t answer.��


    Hearing this, the air in the office area suddenly became quiet. Mona and Michelle, who were typing on the keyboard, also stopped and looked up at Elise.


    ? Having worked in the FBI for such a long time, Luo An has seen killers, such as the male killer Spencer in [Hollywood Rich Man Shot Case] ??(Chapter 326), and the female killer Janaya.


    Either I have no power, or my level is not high enough, and things are never made clear. "


    ??Now that a large-scale killer organization has appeared, former killer Luo An couldn''t help but feel a little restless in his heart, wanting to see what the level of this organized killer was.


    ��It must exist.��


    "No?"


    ??But once the seeds pod and fall off, it will take on a very terrifying appearance. The entire flower is shaped like a human skull, which has always been considered to have magical powers in ancient cultures.


    ��Like this again.��


    ? Winslow and Lacey also looked at her with some suspicion.


    ��How are you doing, have you found any clues?��


    ��Every time you work with other departments, you agents are secretive.


    ?These two killers are better at sneak attacks from a distance, and their melee level is average. Luo An didn''t feel much difficulty when fighting them.


    Skull flower, a flower distributed in parts of Europe, the Commonwealth and North Africa, is mainly light red when open and is very beautiful.


    "The information provided by Agent Elise shows that the killer organization is called "Skull Flower"."


    ??Mona picked up the file next to her and looked at it, frowning and saying:


    Roan raised his eyebrows and looked at Michelle next to him. Michelle also shook her head:


    ��I haven��t found any information related to this organization here either.��


    Lacie looked at Elise with some displeasure and said:


    ��Does this killer organization really exist? Where did you find out?��


    Chenelle, who was standing aside with her arms folded across her chest, frowned. She looked at Elise and asked:


    ��But I searched carefully in the FBI database and found no information.��


    ?Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he turned to stare at Elise and asked:


    ��Did your NSA get the name of this killer organization when it was spying on others?��


    NSA, the federal National Security Agency, has the main task of monitoring the telephone, Internet, fax and satellite communications of federal citizens in order to investigate and discover readers, major criminals, terrorists and dissident extremists.


    ?This is what the official statement says, but in fact the NSA��s work is still mostly to monitor ordinary people in the federal government in order to achieve the purpose of ��nipping the danger in the bud.��


    Elise shook her head:


    "Sorry, Team Leader Luo An, I..."


    ?Luo An interrupted her with a wave of his hand:


    ��You just have to say yes or no.��


    ?Elise was stunned for a moment and took a deep breath:


    "no."


    Lies! Feeling the judgment made by the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An raised the corner of his mouth and then asked:


    ��Are you 100% sure that this killer organization exists?��


    "Sure."


    The truth!


    ��Where is its scope of action? The Commonwealth? Europe? Africa? Or all of them?��


    ��We don��t know yet.��


    The truth!


    ��Then how do you determine that the murderer of former NSA Director Eric Baldwin came from this killer organization?��


    ??Elise''s face twitched and she stopped answering. Seeing this, Luo An narrowed his eyes and asked one by one:


    ��Have you discovered the surveillance?��


    Mood swings are not big, guessing is wrong.


    ��Did you get this information through monitoring?��


    Emotional fluctuations fluctuate, and the guess is correct.


    Luo An was stunned, and then asked:


    ��Who is the person our NSA is spying on? Where is he now? What is his connection with the killer?��


    ����


    ?Elise was stunned on the spot. She clearly didn''t speak. Why did Luo An make an inference so quickly and confidently?


    ��Welcome to the Luoan Investigation Team, which has a 100% detection rate, Ms. Elise.��


    Seeing the expression on Elise''s face, Winslow and Chenelle laughed together. Lacey grinned and patted Elise on the shoulder, smiling quite proudly:


    ��Believe me, in the FBI, our team leader Luo An��s micro-expression analysis ability, he said he is second, and no one dares to say he is first.��


    ??After a long period of different cases, Luo An can always make accurate judgments during interrogations. Now everyone believes that Luo An is a master of micro-expression analysis with very high accuracy.


    ?The agents of the Special Investigation Team have no doubts, nor do people in other departments of the FBI. They even occasionally ask Luo An to help when they encounter difficulties. Not only do they give him gifts afterwards, they are also very grateful.


    After hearing Lacey''s words, and then thinking about some rumors about Luo An within the NSA before she was temporarily transferred to the special investigation team, Elise''s eyelids jumped, and she realized that she had underestimated the leader of the investigation team who had a 100% case detection rate. Gold content.


    ?Taking a deep breath, Elise suppressed the shock in her heart and said:


    ��Leader Luo An, our NSA only monitors criminals, not federal citizens.


    The information that the murderer in this case came from the "Skull Flower" killer organization was accidentally obtained by us. "


    "I know."


    Roan nodded, and Winslow and Chenelle beside him also nodded. Lacey even said in agreement:


    ��Understand that there will always be surprises in life.��


    ����


    ?Seeing the "I understand you have a friend" expressions on several people''s faces, Elise''s mouth twitched, but she still said:


    ��After the hospital detected that the director was poisoned, we investigated the director��s itinerary during that time and found a suspicious guy.


    ??This guy consciously avoided surveillance and could not see his face, but in the background of a resident...a suspected criminal''s phone call, we heard the suspicious person briefly mention the "Bone Flower Killer Organization."


    ?Luo An��s eyes moved slightly and then asked:


    ��Can��t you find the phone records and phone recordings of the suspicious person?��


    ��First of all, we at the NSA do not spy on federal citizens.��


    ?Elise shook her head and repeated, then explained:


    ��Secondly, the mobile phone used by the suspicious person was a disposable mobile phone purchased on the black market. After the other party made the call, he broke the mobile phone into pieces and threw it into the sewer. We could not find it.��


    ?Mona stopped typing on the keyboard and concluded:


    ��So, we now only know that there is a "Skull Flower" killer organization, and a certain killer of this organization is suspected to be the perpetrator of the murder of the former NSA director.


    However, no information about the organization, the appearance of the killer, or any valid information could be found. "


    Chenelle and Lacey frowned. Roan thought for a moment and asked:


    ��Elise, who is the rich man infected with AIDS? Where did you get this news?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 679： The troops were divided into two groups and began to investigate.

    Chapter 679: The troops are divided into two groups and the investigation begins


    Hearing Luo An ask about the identity of the rich man, Cheniel''s expression changed slightly and she asked:


    ��Luo An, what do you mean?��


    ��It��s very simple. If you can��t find it from the front, start from the side.��


    ?Luo An picked up the documents that Elise brought before and explained:


    ��Since we can��t find the killer in this case, and we can��t find any information about the ��Skull Flower�� killer organization, it��s better to go directly to find people who have been assassinated by this organization before.


    Through the assassinated person, find information about other killers, and then find the killer organization. "


    ��OK.��


    Chenelle nodded, Lacey and the others suddenly understood, and Elise was silent for a moment and said:


    ��The rich guy is from Iowa, a guy in the oil business.��


    ��Are you still alive?��


    ??Mona nodded, and Michelle took a video tape and was about to check it. At this moment, Luo An came over from the coffee machine not far away and said:


    ��The three of you will take a plane to Iowa for a trip and chat with this rich man.��


    "no problem."


    ��You said before that after the hospital detected that the director was poisoned, your departments had access to the director��s itinerary during that period and checked the surveillance information, right?��


    ?Elise nodded, and Luo An said:


    ��Bring us a copy of those monitors.��


    ?At the beginning, their NSA, CSS, DIA and other departments had checked the surveillance, and no other problems were found except for the guy who was suspected of being a killer.


    ��The time of death of the former director was one month ago. According to the tests conducted by the hospital and the autopsy department, the time of poisoning was about half a month earlier.


    ?Elise agreed, but she didn��t think Luo An could find any clues in those surveillance cameras.


    ��Due to some complications, his lower body and left foot were cut, but he is still alive.��


    Roan turned to look at Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey and said:


    ?Elise introduced:


    ?Elise brought a lot of things, enough to fill a cardboard box. Mona picked up a hard drive and asked:


    ��Leave these monitors to me, you have other work.��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?These surveillance videos are all recordings of the former director��s whereabouts from two to one and a half months ago. "


    ��These are all surveillance?��


    Chenier and the other three nodded, and Roan then asked Elise:


    ��OK.��


    "OK."


    ?The next morning, Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey took a plane to leave Washington, D.C., while the others were still working in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    "Yes."


    ��What?��


    ?Mona and Michelle both turned their heads with surprise on their faces. Elise was very puzzled:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, the total monitoring time here may be thousands of hours, you can watch it alone...��


    "It doesn''t matter."


    ?Luo An smiled without explaining much, and then said:


    ��It will take time for Lacey and the others to arrive in Iowa and get in contact with the rich man.


    This time cannot be wasted, Mona, Michelle, log into the previous underground criminal network and see if there is any information about the "Skull Flower" killer organization. "


    ?Most killers in the world kill for money.


    ?If you want to make this money, you must advertise, otherwise no one will know that he is a killer, and the business will die at the beginning. The killer''s advertisements must not be promoted on the streets or on TV like ordinary advertisements. Underground crime websites are a good choice.


    "no problem."


    ?Mona and Michelle were a little confused when Luo An insisted on checking the surveillance by himself, but they still nodded and agreed.


    From the corner of her eye, she saw Luo An sitting at Lacey''s workstation, checking the monitor slowly and unhurriedly. A flash of disapproval flashed in Elise''s eyes, and her opinion of Luo An silently dropped a bit.


    ??Yesterday, Luo An''s "micro-expression analysis" indeed shocked and admired Elise, but her insistence on searching for clues through surveillance alone made Elise feel that Luo An was a bit too arrogant.


    However, seeing that Agent Mona and Agent Michelle of the special investigation team did not say much, Elise, who considered herself an outsider, gave up her intention to offer advice and began to sit next to her and browse the underground with Mona and the other two girls. Crime website.


    ?Time moved forward minute by minute, and the morning passed quickly. I called for some food, and everyone in the office area began to rest and have lunch.


    ��We��re in Iowa.��


    Lacey and the others called Luo An at this time, and she yawned greatly:


    ��Iowa has beautiful scenery, a lot of cornfields, and the land is all great plains.��


    Chenelle, who was next to her, grabbed the phone and said:


    "Luo An, we have contacted the rich man''s secretary, but his secretary said that he has no time today and wants us to make an appointment to meet tomorrow afternoon."


    ��Go directly to the other person��s home to find someone.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he swallowed the vegetable salad in his mouth and said softly:


    ��The circumstances of this case are special. I have the executive order from the Federal Vice President. Just be careful when you act.��


    "clear!"


    Winslow and Lacey on the other end of the phone looked at each other and smiled. Chenelle raised the corner of her mouth, exchanged a few words and hung up the phone.


    ??In the office area, Mona also heard Luo An��s words. She swallowed the food with a worried look on her face:


    ��Luo An, is it okay to do this?��


    ��It doesn��t matter, Chenelle and the others know what��s appropriate.��


    ?Luo An smiled and signaled to Mona that she shouldn��t be nervous, as Cheniel and the other three would not do anything too outrageous.


    ?In addition, Luo An also wanted to take this opportunity to see what effect the vice president''s executive order can achieve.


    ??If someone takes advantage of this to jump out and target Luo An''s investigation team, Luo An will be very happy, because he is waiting for the other party.


    ??After arriving in Washington, D.C., Luo An encountered some small bumps, such as Antoine, a Jew who served as the director of the Office of Professional Responsibility.


    But overall, Luo An��s journey can be said to have been smooth sailing and he has not encountered too many setbacks.


    ?This is not good. No one will be liked by everyone. There are definitely many people who are dissatisfied with Luo An, but for some reason they have been suppressed and have not jumped out.


    ?Luo An knows very well the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace and knowing yourself and your enemy.


    Rather than letting the enemy hiding in the shadows jump out and stab you at the critical moment, you should first find the opponent, understand the opponent, and finally find a way to control the opponent.


    ?Just like Salers did before, since the enemy will not disappear, dig a hole for the enemy in advance. When the enemy jumps up, kick him into the hole and fill it with soil.


    Luo An knew this kind of thing, but there was no need to tell Mona and the others. He replied a few words casually and then changed the topic to the case under investigation.


    ��The criminal underground does find something.��


    ??Mona finished her lunch, picked up the mineral water and took a sip, then brought her laptop over and said:


    ��I found a post with an advertisement for a killer organization and their contact information.


    There is a light red flower pattern at the bottom of the post, which is the skull flower. "


    ��I also found a post on another criminal underworld website.��


    ?Michelle next to her swallowed the food in her mouth, raised her hand and said:


    ��It��s a similar advertisement with similar content. There is also a light red skull flower pattern at the bottom of the text.��


    ��Well done!��


    Roan raised the corners of his mouth and was about to speak when Elise suddenly asked:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, did you find anything during the surveillance?��


    ??Mona frowned slightly and turned to look at Elise. Elise''s expression remained unchanged. Luo An glanced at Elise and said:


    ��There are some discoveries, such as the fact that behind this case is a saturation assassination.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 680： Contact the Killer Organization

    Chapter 680 Contact the Killer Organization


    At 11:30 noon, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    Saturation assassination, that is, sending out far more manpower than normal just to kill one target.


    Hearing this word, Mona and Michelle were a little surprised, while Elise was noncommittal:


    ��Leader Luo An, how did you make this judgment?��


    ?Luo An stood up and called the three girls to the computer and said:


    ��Before the former director was poisoned, many killers appeared in the surveillance.��


    Pushing aside the useless surveillance, Luo An played the surveillance tapes he had compiled one by one and introduced:


    ��This is the scene when the former director went to give a speech 26 days ago. Pay attention to the lower left corner of the hall.��


    Mona, Michelle and Elise all bent down and looked carefully at the screen on the computer. Luo An enlarged the video, and then they saw clearly that there was a man carrying a camera who looked like he was a photographer. .


    The three women were a little confused. Elise observed carefully for a few seconds and asked in confusion:


    ��There seems to be nothing wrong with this person?��


    ?In addition, this "photographer" has deliberately avoided surveillance from beginning to end. We can only see his profile or back, but not his true appearance.


    ��I have a question, Team Leader Luo An.��


    As a killer, the most basic and important requirement is to be able to see and listen in all directions, and to have an absolute understanding and mastery of the environment in which you are living.


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    It may be a coincidence that a person was not caught in the surveillance video.


    ?After a few seconds of silence, Elise raised her hand and asked:


    ��That��s right.��


    A trace of disbelief flashed in Elise''s eyes. She didn''t see anything unusual about the photographer.


    ?These are just some of the factors. Another reason why Luo An made the judgment that the "photographer" was the killer came from his feeling, the feeling of "meeting his peers".


    ��As far as the hall at that time was concerned, the position of the ��photographer�� was the most convenient place to have an overview of the whole place, and it was also the most convenient place to retreat if something was wrong.


    In the previous surveillance video of the hall, there was no scene of him verifying his identity and walking in. When the former director began to speak, the "photographer" suddenly appeared here. "


    ??Luo An listed six videotapes in a row, and the expression on Elise''s face gradually became serious.


    ??Whether it was the cameraman, the doorman, or the waiter, they seemed to have many opportunities to kill the former director. "


    ??Mona frowned slightly. Although she was confused, she believed in Luo An''s judgment. Michelle asked:


    "Besides this "photographer", are there other killers?"


    Luo An carefully observed the actions of the "photographer" after he entered the hall. The other person carefully scanned the surroundings for a long time while avoiding surveillance.


    But none of the six people were caught by the surveillance, and they all appeared very suddenly. They all disappeared after the former director left. This coincidence was a bit too coincidental.


    ??This is surveillance footage of the former director and his wife going to a restaurant for dinner. Everyone can see the waiter whose appearance is unclear in the lower left corner. Her mobile phone is also filming the former director. "


    ?These actions may look normal to outsiders, but they look very familiar to Luo An.


    ��Since these people are killers, why don��t they take action?


    ��No, this guy has a huge problem.��


    Luo An called out several other videotapes and introduced:


    ��This is a video of the former director attending a dinner party and arriving at the door of the hotel. Pay attention to the doorman standing not far away from him whose appearance is unclear. The doorman��s mobile phone has been filming the former director.


    ?Mona and Michelle looked up at Luo An in surprise. They were also a little confused.


    ��Two possibilities.��


    Luo An raised his finger and said:


    ��The first type is that the people behind them did not give them orders to take action. In other words, they were just scouts who came out in advance to check out the points.


    As for the second possibility, it is very interesting. "


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said:


    ��I have some doubts whether the former director of the NSA is the target of these killers.��


    ?Elise was even more confused, and Mona was stunned for a moment:


    ��You mean, the killer killed the wrong person in this case?�� Michelle��s face changed slightly:


    ��Is the wife of the former NSA director the target of these killers?��


    "maybe."


    Roan glanced at Elise calmly. Roan did not continue. He patted Mona and Michelle on the shoulders and said:


    "Now that I have found the contact information of the "Skull Flower" organization on the underground criminal website, let''s try to check it and see if we can locate the other party''s location through technical means."


    ��Okay, but I might have some difficulties here.��


    ?Mona nodded, then shook her head.


    Since the other party is a killer organization, it is impossible to imagine that someone will try to use the phone to locate them, so they must have corresponding bulletproof measures.


    ??Mona turned to look at Elise and said:


    ��Your NSA monitors federal citizens through phone calls, the Internet, faxes and satellites every day, so your technical level must be very high in this area. It may be better for you to handle the job of locating the other party.��


    ?Feeling the faint sting in Mona''s words, Elise''s eyelids jumped but she still agreed, took out her phone and looked at Luo An:


    ��I will contact the headquarters and ask them to send someone over.��


    Luo An nodded:


    ��OK, good work.��


    ??Elise walked aside with her mobile phone and started to make a call. Mona looked at the other person''s back and curled her lips, then began to deal with the situation of the underground criminal website.


    ?Two hours later, several NSA agents came to the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team with a bunch of incomprehensible equipment.


    ? After the equipment installation was completed, Elise raised an "OK" gesture towards Luo An. Luo An nodded, took the special phone and the number Mona got from the other party, and dialed it.


    The phone was quickly connected, and a female voice sounded:


    ��Hello, this is the ��Organic Food Chain Supermarket��. How can I help you?��


    ?Following the requirements in the advertisement posts on the underground crime website, Luo An said:


    ��I want to buy flowers, fresh flowers.��


    ��Okay, which variety is it?��


    ��Antirrhinum (snapdragon)��


    Snapdragon is the official name, and Skull Flower is the folk name.


    ��No problem, sir.��


    ??The female voice on the other end of the phone was very calm, feeling like she was used to this kind of thing, and said according to the procedure:


    ��I will transfer you to the customer service of the flower market. Please wait for a moment.��


    "OK."


    Luo An replied casually and turned to look at Elise next to her. At this time, Elise was looking closely at the equipment brought by the NSA agent.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and when the phone rang again, Elise shook her head at Luo An nervously.


    ��Hello, this is the flower market.��


    ?At the same time, a slightly rough female voice sounded on the phone and asked:


    ��How many ��skull flowers�� ??do you want to buy?��


    The skull flower here refers to other people��s heads.


    The positioning has not yet been successful, the people around him cannot tell, and there are no enemies yet. Luo An��s eyes moved slightly, and he thought of some plans in his heart, so under the astonished eyes of Mona, Michelle, Elise and others, he asked:


    ��FBI Headquarters in Washington, Special Investigation Team Leader, Roan Greenwood.��


    "Please wait."


    The other end of the phone said something, and then it became quiet. Mona stood up with a worried look on her face, and Luo An pressed his hand to signal her not to panic.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and the rough voice sounded again:


    "The flowers exist, but it is difficult to pick them. We cannot accept orders in a short time. I wonder if the customer has other goals?"


    ��?!��xN


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 681： Killers Customer Service Center

    Chapter 681 The Killer��s Customer Service Center


    ?Hearing the words on the phone, Mona and Michelle looked shocked. Elise was very surprised. Several NSA agents also looked at each other, not understanding what was going on for a while.


    ?Luo An was also stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the other party would answer like this, and then asked:


    ��What does it mean to be ��difficult to pick and unable to receive orders in a short period of time��?��


    ��It��s just that it��s difficult to pick.��


    ??The rough female voice on the other end of the phone kept her tone unchanged and did not directly answer Luo An''s question, but then asked:


    ��Does the guest have any other skull flowers that he would like to pick?��


    "No."


    ��We are very sorry for not fulfilling the customer��s needs. If you have other flower needs in the future, you can contact the ��Organic Food Chain Supermarket�� again.


    I wish our guests a successful career and a happy life. Goodbye. "


    ����


    Mona next to her nodded. She had already found out the specific situation there, showed the computer to Luo An, and said:


    ��The registration results of a certain department of the Chicago city government show that the location we located is a ��customer service center.��


    Luo An turned his gaze to the computer screen, and when he saw the position inside, he raised his eyebrows:


    ��Chicago, Illinois?��


    ??The following sentence "cannot be removed in a short time" made everyone present think more. If they were not very sure that Luo An''s FBI identity was correct, they would all wonder if Luo An had some secret identity in the underground world.


    The rough female voice hung up the phone immediately after speaking.


    ??Although I don��t know what the criteria for judging a ��skull flower�� are, the fact that it was evaluated as ��difficult to pick�� by a group of killers definitely shows that Luo An��s situation is unusual.


    ��What do we do next?��


    Lacey��s familiar voice sounded on the phone, and she smiled:


    ��Luo An, we have found the location of the killer organization.��


    ??Is it that I am too strong, or is the killer''s organizational ability too weak? Or is there something wrong with the killer organization?


    ? Various thoughts flashed through his mind. The expression on Luo An��s face did not change. He coughed, looked at Elise and asked:


    ��How is the equipment?��


    Lacie said that she, Chenelle, and Winslow followed Roan''s request and went directly to the rich man''s villa.


    ??Seeing everyone''s looks, Luo An''s lips twitched. Before making the call, he thought about many possibilities, but he never expected that the other party actually told him that "it''s difficult to pick flowers"? !


    ��That��s right.��


    ������xN


    The office area was quiet. Mona and Michelle looked at Luo An in disbelief. Elise''s face was filled with surprise. Several NSA agents were even more surprised, and their eyes changed when they looked at Luo An.


    ��It��s me, Lacey.��


    Luo An grinned when he saw the business license in Mona��s computer and the photos of the customer service center��s workplace:


    ��It��s indeed the customer service center. They wished me a happy life before hanging up the phone, which was a really nice attitude.


    I don��t know if there is any service evaluation, but I would like to give them an A+. "


    ����


    Just as Luo An was about to speak, the phone on his waist suddenly rang.


    ��Positioning successful!��


    After reacting, Elise nodded quickly, stood up to make way for Luo An, and replied with a tense look on her face:


    ��The specific location is on the computer screen.��


    ??Everyone present was speechless. Mona patted Luo An''s arm lightly and asked:


    At this time, the negative view of Luo An in Elise''s heart had completely disappeared. As a person who was said to be "difficult to extract" by the killer organization, Elise''s current attitude could only be to look up, because she estimated her head, as if Not worth much at all.


    During the period, the three people did encounter situations where they were shunned and even chased away by security personnel. However, after revealing the vice president��s executive order, the other group of people became quiet.


    ?Wind can come in and rain can come in, but the king cannot. This is a metaphor for the federal castle law. It is also the "civilization and freedom" that many people who are paid to do things and are either stupid or bad loudly praise it.


    But many times, this kind of statement is also a decoration. For example, a former president��s estate was raided by law enforcement.


    ??The rich man understood the rules of the game at the top of the federation and confirmed that the executive order was correct. He immediately met with Chenier and the other three, and said that he was sleeping just now and everything was done privately by the housekeeper.


    There is nothing much to say about these things. Luo An asked briefly and then skipped them. He turned the topic to the main point and asked:


    ��Where is the place you mentioned?�� Lacey replied in a solemn voice:


    ��Las Vegas, Nevada! There is a call center for a killer organization there!��


    ??? Lacey said that the rich man was very angry after he was infected with AIDS. He spent a lot of money to investigate the killer organization and successfully tracked down the customer service center in Las Vegas.


    But the rich man did not say anything about the subsequent results. Judging from the current results alone, it seems that the two parties have reached some kind of agreement or reconciliation.


    "Nevada?"


    ?No one here cared about the rich man��s affairs. Mona frowned slightly as she looked at the location on her computer:


    ��How could it be Las Vegas?��


    Luo An��s expression was calm, as he had expected:


    "This "Skull Flower" killer organization is obviously quite large and has its own customer service centers in other parts of the federation. This is normal."


    ?Mona nodded, no longer entangled in this matter, and asked:


    ��Then which state should we go to next?��


    ��Let��s split up and go to both states.��


    ? Luo An pondered for a few seconds, picked up the phone and said:


    ��Lacey, Chenille, Winslow, you are going to Las Vegas to conduct peripheral investigations. You only need to find out the identities of the staff in the customer service center.��


    ?Chenelle on the other end of the phone frowned and asked:


    ��Aren��t you going to raid and arrest?��


    ��It��s easy to scare off the enemy.��


    Roan rejected Cheniel��s proposal and went on to say:


    ��In addition, this kind of customer service center will most likely have killer guards responsible for observation and protection. You must be more careful during the investigation. Remember to contact the local SWAT team, and the three of you should not act separately.��


    "clear."


    ? After a brief exchange of words, Luo An hung up the phone, stood up, looked at Mona, Michelle and Elise, and said with a smile:


    ��It��s up to us next, contact the plane, let��s go to Chicago!��


    "no problem!"


    ����


    The next day, nine o''clock in the morning.


    Chicago is a well-known federal financial center, cultural, scientific and educational center, and tourism center.


    Behind the praise, Chicago is also a well-known crime center in the federal government. Heroes from all walks of life participate in grand events here, making the city appear to be full of vitality and everything is flourishing at all times.


    ??In a certain hotel suite, Mona rolled her eyes when she heard at least three waves of police sirens passing by in just half an hour:


    ��I hate it here.��


    ��But it��s really a good city for a killer organization.��


    Michelle next to him smiled and said:


    ��At least their business will not be less.��


    On the other side, Elise tidied up her equipment, looked at Luo An, who was standing by the window, looking into the distance with a telescope, and asked:


    ��What is our next specific action plan? Are there any plans?��


    ��It��s time to show off your NSA skills.��


    ??Luo An took off the telescope, turned to look at Elise, pointed at the equipment next to her and said:


    ��The next main task is to find a way to monitor the situation in that ��customer service center�� and collect information.��


    Elise nodded. She was confident in her ability to work, but she still had some doubts:


    ��But if we only monitor, we may not be able to obtain information about the former director��s killer in a short period of time.��


    Luo An smiled meaningfully:


    ��So, the rest is my job.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 682： Visiting the site, bad news

    Chapter 682: Visiting the site, bad news


    Chicago, uptown, a certain business area.


    At two o''clock in the afternoon, there was a street-side cafe with a warm style and soothing music. At the round wooden tables and chairs outside, Luo An was dressed casually, holding a newspaper in his hand, waiting for his coffee leisurely. .


    ?There are people coming and going nearby, including tourists and office workers. The crowds are noisy and have a very federal commercial atmosphere.


    ??A young girl who looked like she had just grown up, with long blond hair and wearing a cafe waiter''s clothes came over, put the coffee in front of Luo An, and showed a smile:


    ��Long waiting, sir, your cappuccino.��


    "Thanks."


    ? Luo An put down the newspaper, raised his head and smiled at the waitress to thank him.


    ?The young girl''s eyes lit up when she saw Luo An''s handsome face. She nodded and ran back to the coffee shop, where she danced and discussed with several of her colleagues in low voices.


    Luo An picked up the coffee and took a sip. Mona��s voice came from the small NSA special communicator that was inserted into Luo An��s ear:


    ��You really attract young girls, Luo An.��


    Luo An, who even smelled of vinegar when he put the phone on the phone, smiled, put down the coffee cup, picked up the newspaper again, and said:


    ��How else could I have deceived you?��


    ��So, you now admit that you lied to me that night?��


    ��Not very good, the situation is a bit beyond my expectation.��


    "Soon."


    I have also guessed before that there will be killers outside disguised as tourists or store attendants, responsible for guarding and checking the situation.


    "I apologize."


    There were several small mechanical equipment on the ground beside her. Her fingers were dancing quickly on the laptop and she said in a calm tone:


    ??Mona was brought out by Luo An to act with her. Her task was to investigate the identity information of those who answered the phone in the customer service center.


    ?Mona said doubtfully:


    ��How many are there?��


    Diagonally across from the cafe, in a room on the fourth floor of an office building, Mona sat on the ground with her legs bent and crossed.


    But I didn��t expect that there would be so many of these people. "


    ?Luo An continued to read the newspaper on the surface, but actually observed his surroundings.


    "Our previous judgment was correct. The building diagonally behind, called the "Vanilla After-sales Customer Service Center", is indeed the customer service center of the killer organization.


    ��Bring me a cup of coffee later. I��ll have a caramel macchiato and a banana stone fruit cake.��


    ??Luo An picked up the coffee and took a sip again. With his peripheral vision passing through the many passers-by, he glanced calmly at a shop selling tourist souvenirs in the distance and said:


    ��OK.��


    ��How are you doing over there?��


    ��But I remember that you were more proactive that night.��


    ??During this operation, NSA agent Elise was left in a hotel suite and was responsible for finding ways to monitor the target customer service center. Michelle stayed with her, writing to assist, but actually guarding.


    In the room of the office building, Mona typed on the keyboard quickly and said:


    ��Also, how are you checking over there?��


    ��Shut up! You��re the one who lied to me!��


    ??Luo An smiled and did not continue to argue with Mona. He opened the second page of the newspaper and asked:


    ��Give me ten more minutes.��


    ��There are no less than five people on this street.��


    ?Luo An��s lips curled up slightly:


    ��There are three other streets around it.��


    The purpose of Luo An''s operation was to check the situation near the customer service center and decide on his next plan. As a result, not long after he walked into the area disguised as tourists, he discovered several "fellow travelers".


    "Wow."


    ?Mona raised her eyebrows:


    ��So, your trip today was in vain?��


    ��No, I still got some clues.��


    ?Luo An picked up the newspaper, crossed his legs, and said with a smile:


    ��For example, the guy who decided to set up the ��Customer Service Center�� here is definitely a talent.��


    ?This area is one of Chicago''s famous business districts. Putting the killer organization''s contact point here is definitely beyond many people''s expectations.


    ??The owners and waiters of the nearby shops probably never imagined that the customer service center diagonally opposite where they called every day was on the periphery of the killer organization, and the person who ordered and bought food from them was a real killer.


    Just as Mona was about to speak, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang.


    ??Taking out his cell phone slowly, Luo An asked quietly:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��Bad news, Roan.��


    ??The voice on the other end of the phone was not Lacey, but Chenelle. She said in a solemn tone:


    "We arrived in Las Vegas and found the killer organization''s customer service center. But we arrived a step too late and it had been destroyed."


    ? Luo An��s expression remained unchanged:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    "literal meaning."


    ?Chynielle explained:


    ��The house was burned, tables, chairs and benches were smashed, computer equipment was destroyed, some customer service staff were injured and hospitalized, and some died on the spot.


    This case has been taken over by the Las Vegas police and is under investigation, but there are currently no clues.


    ?Judging from the situation alone, Lacey and Winslow and I felt like it was an act of revenge. "


    ?Luo An was thoughtful, and Chenelle asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ��Continue to investigate.��


    Luo An thought for a while and said:


    ��On the premise of ensuring your own safety, find opportunities to contact those who are injured and hospitalized, and find out what happened when the case occurred


    Remember, your own safety is the first priority. "


    ��OK.��


    ?Chenelle on the other end of the phone nodded solemnly and hung up the phone.


    ��I succeeded here!��


    ?At this moment, Mona��s voice sounded from the small communicator in Luo An��s ear. She cheered excitedly and then asked:


    ��What��s going on over there, Lacey?��


    Roan briefly talked about the situation described by Cheniel, and Mona frowned:


    ��So, because the call center in Las Vegas was destroyed, the number of killer guards in Chicago increased?��


    ��It��s possible.��


    ��Then what shall we do?��


    ?Mona is a little worried:


    ��Do you still want to act according to the original plan?��


    "certainly."


    ?Luo An picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile:


    ��Don��t worry, this is a good thing for us.��


    ?Mona is puzzled:


    ��The number of killer guards has increased, where is the best place?��


    Luo An waved to the waiter and told the coffee and cake that Mona wanted just now. When the waiter left, he said with a smile:


    ��Fortunately, we have a place to throw the pot.��


    Just as Mona was about to continue speaking, Luo An asked first:


    ��You have already found out the identity information of the workers in this customer service center, right?��


    ��Yes, the manager��s name is Tony, the assistant manager��s name is Jayden, and there are a dozen other women who answer the phone.��


    ��Good.��


    ����


    ?At eight-thirty in the evening, the street lights on the streets of Chicago lit up one after another.


    ??But the lingering darkness, accompanied by gunshots and shouts every ten minutes, has deeply enveloped the hearts of the people in Chicago''s downtown area.


    In the fringe areas of Shangcheng District, the security situation is much better.


    ??A black car slowly parked on the side of the road. Jayden got out of the passenger seat and saw the driver, Severn, opening the door and getting out of the car. He took out his pistol and prepared to enter the residence with him. He spread his hands and said helplessly:


    ��Severn, is this really what you want?��


    ?Severn said nothing, just shook his pistol.


    ��OK, OK.��


    ?Jaden sighed, took out the key and walked to the house, opened the door as usual, pressed the light switch, and said:


    ��Look, I told you everything and didn��t ask...��


    Before Jayden could finish his words, Severine''s pupils shrank suddenly and he slapped Jayden to the ground. Then he quickly raised his pistol and was about to pull the trigger on the stranger who appeared on the sofa in the living room!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 683： fighting, being attacked

    Chapter 683 Battle, sneak attack


    ???A small apartment on a certain street on the edge of Chicago''s uptown area.


    ??The moment Jayden pressed the light switch, under the slightly dim light, the strange figure on the sofa in the living room instantly caught the eye of the killer Severine.


    ?Sevion slapped Jayden to the ground without hesitation, raised the weapon and pulled the trigger.


    boom! boom! boom!


    With several rapid gunshots, several holes appeared on the sofa in the living room, but the figure did not make any sound.


    ??Jaden, who fell to the ground, was very surprised when he saw this scene:


    ��Dummy?!��


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??Severn cursed in a low voice. Experience told him that there must be danger behind him at this time, so he quickly bent down and reached out to pull Jayden on the ground, preparing to enter the apartment to escape.


    ?Then Severn felt himself grabbing the hands of two people.


    ����


    Sevion��s heart jumped and he quickly turned around. A man wearing a black hood and only two eyes could be seen clearly came into his sight.


    ??Luo An grinned, but Severian couldn''t see it through the mask. He only felt the chill emanating from the man in the black mask in front of him, making his whole body shiver.


    score


    ��You��ll find out later.��


    ����


    ?Seeing Severine looking at himself, Luo An was very polite:


    ??Inside the villa, Severin clutched his chest, struggled to get off the sofa and stood up, took a deep breath to suppress the pain in his body, stared at Luo An, and asked in a serious voice:


    "Who are you?"


    ����


    There was a muffled sound, and the sofa moved back a few centimeters due to the sudden impact. Severin''s breathing was rapid, and the pain in his abdomen and the faint feeling of nausea made his face flush and his expression was very ugly.


    ??Roan pushed back hard with his right hand, pushing Severian''s elbow against Severian''s chest. At the same time, he raised his left hand halfway up to touch the gun in Severian''s hand.


    Outside the apartment, Mona, wearing a black mask, nodded, immediately stepped forward, and locked Jayden firmly to the ground with her knees.


    ��Good evening, Mr. Killer.��


    ??Luo An could see that the deputy manager was just an ordinary person, so he didn��t talk nonsense to him. He directly grabbed his clothes and threw them outside, throwing Jayden to the land outside the apartment:


    ��Tie him up.��


    score


    boom! boom! boom!


    Three gunshots rang out, and all the bullets hit the floor. Severn raised his knees to strike, and Luo An flew up with a gravity kick. Severian flew out like a rag doll and instantly smashed into the living room. sofa.


    Sevion didn��t want to speak at all at this time. He used his left hand to break free from the restraint, and quickly raised his right hand to his waist, aiming at Luo An and preparing to pull the trigger.


    Jayden on the ground didn��t react at all. Seeing Luo An looking down at him, Jayden took a breath and said urgently:


    ��This gentleman, I...��


    boom! boom! boom!


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??The moment Sevien fired, Luan also raised the Beretta M9 in his hand and shot three bullets.


    ?Six gunshots rang out. Luo An reacted quickly to dodge in time and was not injured at all. Severine was shot in his left arm and leg respectively, but he still endured the pain and threw himself in front of Luo An.


    The longer time went on, the worse it would be for him. Severine gritted his teeth to hold back the abdominal pain, roared, raised his pistol, aimed at Luo An and shot at him, and at the same time, he suddenly rushed towards Luo An.


    ��OK.��


    ??The man in the black hood is Luo An, and the dummy on the sofa was also his arrangement.


    ??There was a sharp wind of fists, Severin punched Luo An hard in the throat with his left hand, and the pistol in his right hand was ready to aim at Luo An again.


    Bang!


    Faced with the fist, Luo An refused to retreat but advanced. Under Severin''s incredible gaze, Luo An suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist with his left hand, blocking the way of Severin''s fist with the tip, and then grabbed Severin''s pistol with his right hand. , lift it up again.


    Ding!


    At the critical moment, Severn quickly reversed his posture and retracted his left hand, holding the pistol against the dagger. Seeing this, Luo An kicked him out again.


    Severn crossed his hands to block, and was kicked backwards by the powerful force.


    ?Seeing that Luo An was about to shoot again, Severn fell to the ground, raised one leg and wrapped it around Luo An''s ankle, and rolled to the right with all his strength before Russell raised the gun. Luo An, who didn''t want to have his ankle broken, fell to the ground, and m9 also fell next to the sofa.


    ??The corner of Severn''s mouth raised and his eyes flashed, but before he could continue to be happy, Roan suddenly stood up and raised his hand to grab Severine''s thigh. With a muffled groan, he threw Severine towards the fireplace beside him.


    ��!


    �O


    His back hit the edge of the fireplace wall hard. Severine''s eyes bulged and blood spurted out of his mouth uncontrollably.


    He had been suppressing the blood just now, but now he couldn''t bear it anymore.


    ??Luo An straightened up, walked towards Severn who was struggling on the ground, and stretched out his hand to control him.


    At this moment, a chill suddenly rose from his lower back. Luo An''s pupils shrank suddenly and he immediately threw himself to the right to avoid it without hesitation.


    Poof!


    The next second, a hole appeared in the side wall where Luo An was standing just now!


    Luo An frowned upon seeing this and shouted loudly:


    ��Mona! There is a sniper on the east side! Take cover quickly!��


    "clear!"


    ??Mona hurriedly escorted Jayden to find cover. At the same time, Roan quickly moved to the side and grabbed Severine''s leg and pulled him to her side.


    Poof!


    As soon as Severn was moved by Luo An, a familiar voice sounded again, and a deep pit appeared again on the floor where Severian''s head was.


    "damn it."


    Seeing the smashed floor, Luo An''s eyebrows jumped and he recognized that the opponent was using an M40 sniper rifle.


    ??Luo An put away the pistol and touched his lower back, looked at Severn beside him and said:


    ��You owe me your life, Mr. Killer.��


    Sevien saw the location where the sniper bullet hit and knew that Luo An''s words were true, but he vomited blood and did not want to speak.


    ����


    ??Luo An took out a few smoke bombs and threw them hard. A few seconds later, the whole room was filled with smoke. Then Luo An lifted Severin up and quickly moved out of the apartment in the opposite direction of the sniper''s field of vision.


    Outside the apartment, the position of the car was in the blind spot of the sniper''s field of vision. Luo An immediately put Severin into the car, then picked up Mona and Jayden, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car rushed into the distance in an instant.


    The familiar chill rushed into his heart again, and Luo An suddenly turned the steering wheel to the right.


    Poof!


    ?The next second, a familiar voice sounded again. The left rearview mirror of the car was instantly shattered by a bullet, and a pile of metal fragments fell to the ground.


    Seeing this scene, Severn''s face was filled with shock. Jaden''s mouth opened wide and his eyes were moved. They understood what Roan had done to dodge the bullet just now, but they didn''t understand how Roan did it at all.


    ? Mona, who was in the back seat of the car, looked nervous:


    ��Luo An?!��


    "fine."


    ??Luo An smiled to reassure Mona, looked up through the rearview mirror at the tall buildings in the distance, narrowed his eyes, and silently took note of today''s sniper.


    ??On the roof of a building in the distance, a white man without hair looked through the scope at the car that was getting further away, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    He fired three shots in total, and all three shots missed. This was a situation he had never encountered in his more than ten years in the assassin business.


    ��Fu-kdown!��


    ??The sniper suppressed the feeling that he had seen a ghost in his heart, quickly packed his things and stood up, erasing the traces and preparing to evacuate.


    Before leaving, he took a deep look at the car and firmly remembered the man with the black hood.


    On the other side, in the car, Mona saw that the building was getting farther and farther away from her. Mona slowly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Jayden beside her. Jayden''s face trembled and he hurriedly shouted:


    ��The 14th Rule of the Killer! I am willing to pay any price for my life!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 684： interrogation, clues

    Chapter 684: Interrogation, clues


    ??At twelve o''clock at midnight, in downtown Chicago, an abandoned warehouse not far from Lake Michigan.


    ??In the warehouse, Jayden, the deputy manager of the Chicago branch of the "Skull Flower" killer organization''s customer service center, and the killer Sevin were tied to their own chairs, with the two chairs facing each other far away.


    ??Mona was sitting in the center, still wearing a black mask, typing on her laptop. After a moment, she stopped moving, looked up at Luo An next to her, and whispered:


    ��All signals have been blocked.��


    ?Luo An asked Mona to do this mainly just in case.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Wearing a black hood, Roan patted Mona on the shoulder, glanced at Severine who was concentrating with his eyes closed, ignored him, turned around and walked to Jayden, took out the rag from his mouth, and asked:


    ��You said before that you were willing to pay any price in exchange for your life?��


    "That''s right! That''s right! Rule 14 of the Killer''s Law!"


    ??The rag was taken out, Jayden retched, but he still nodded and said:


    ??This part of the information Jayden said was consistent with the information that Chenier and the others had found before. Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Do you know who did this?��


    ?Looking at this sentence itself, I feel that there is nothing wrong with it, and it even feels a bit chicken soup.


    On weekdays, there are only about five killer guards in this customer service center, but in the past half month, the number of killer guards has been increasing, and the current number has reached nearly twenty.


    ��Where to start?��


    ?Jaden is the deputy manager of the "Vanilla Customer Service Center", which is actually the order-taking customer service center of "Skull Flower". He has only joined this company for less than three years.


    But with the addition of "The First Rule of Killer" in front of it, the temperament of the whole sentence changed instantly, making Luo An more and more curious about the "Skull Flower" killer organization.


    ?Jaden was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively:


    ?Severn is one of the killer''s guards. Tonight when Jayden goes home to pick up his things, Severn is both a protector and a guard.


    ��Tell me everything you know.��


    ?General Manager Tony is in control of the overall situation and has the power to order the killer guards. The vast majority of people in the company are not killers, just customer service personnel who answer the phone.


    ��Everyone is from the ��Skull Flower��. You can ask someone. I, Jayden, follow the rules very well.��


    Now only our Chicago branch is left, and the Philadelphia branch on the easternmost side of the Union.


    ? Manager Tony was very worried that this would be the next place to be destroyed, so he increased the number of killer guards. "


    As the deputy manager, Jayden is only responsible for this aspect of business. He heard information such as the killer''s rules from several killer guards.


    ?Jaden shook his head repeatedly:


    ��Start where you work.��


    ��OK.��


    ??An imperceptible strange color flashed in Luo An''s eyes. When driving before, Jayden had recited the so-called "Killer Rules".


    For example, ��Reputation should be the top priority. People cannot stand without trust.��


    ?Seeing Luo An looking at him motionless, Jayden swallowed and said:


    "I heard that among the five branches of the "Skull Flower" customer service center, the Los Angeles branch, the Las Vegas branch, and the Kansas City branch were all destroyed in the past month.


    ?These things can be left for later. Obtaining clues is the primary goal at the moment. Luo An casually pulled up a chair and sat across from Jayden and said:


    ��Sorry, I really don��t know about this.


    I only know that there is a lot of chaos in "Skull Flower" right now, and many killers have posted messages of "temporarily not accepting orders."


    Under normal circumstances, there are only two reasons for a killer to list "temporarily not accepting orders", or the killer is dead and will never take orders in the future.


    ?Either the people on the "Skull Flower" issued some tasks, and these killers all went to do the tasks. "


    Deputy manager Jayden stopped after telling him everything he knew. He looked at Luo An eagerly, hoping that Luo An would follow the rules and make a request to let him live.


    ?Luo An did not speak, but picked up the rag again and stuffed it into his mouth.


    ???Jaden: "..." ???? He dragged the chair to Severian on the other side. Roan sat opposite him and reached out to pull off the rag from Severian''s mouth.


    Without waiting for Luo An to speak, Sevian spit a blood on the ground next to him, then looked up at Luo An, condensed:


    ��You are not a killer.��


    Hearing this, Mona next to her frowned slightly, but she wore a mask so that others could not see her expression.


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and his tone did not change:


    ��Who do you think I am?��


    Severn twisted his sore neck, grinned, and said:


    ��You have the temperament and skills of a killer, and even your physical strength exceeds most of the killers I know.


    As to who you are, I don��t know, and I don��t want to know.


    In my memory, I don��t have any enemies with similar stature or skill to you, so you probably just want to get some information from me.


    No problem, I can tell you everything I know, but I also have a request. Let me go when the matter is over. I swear by the law of killers that what happened tonight will be completely rotten in my heart. "


    It��s the killer law again.


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows, and his "emotional perception" confirmed that what Severn said at the end was the truth.


    But this also shows from another perspective that the Killer''s Law has a strong binding force on these people, even similar to a kind of belief.


    Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and Luo An asked:


    ��In ��Skull Flower��, who are the killers who are good at poisoning and using poison?��


    "Too much."


    Severn shook his head:


    ��As a killer, you are more or less capable of poisoning. This is the basic skill of a killer.��


    ??Luo An said:


    ��Then name the killer who is best at, likes, and uses poison the most.��


    Severn thought for a few seconds and introduced:


    ��Brenna the Redback Spider, she likes to use some neurotoxins to kill her targets.


    ?"Immortal Kyle", this guy likes to use ricin because it''s easy to get..."


    Severn named seven or eight killers who liked to use poison, but none of them had ever used the radioactive substance polonium-210.


    ??Mona frowned. According to Severn, there are many killers who are good at using toxins, but toxins often don''t have pistols, so shooting to kill is the most common way for most killers.


    Roan��s expression remained unchanged. After Severin finished speaking, he continued:


    ��The other killers will also be introduced, in order of price from high to low.��


    ��The first one is ��King Baal��, whose real name is unknown, but his code name comes from King Solomon��s seventy-two demons.


    ??It is said that this demon can become invisible, and "King Baal" has a high mission completion rate and can always kill others quietly, so he has this code name..."


    Severn suddenly stopped mid-sentence, frowned and thought for a few seconds, then raised his head again and said:


    ��By the way, there is also ��Blue Eyes Roy��. He is also very capable, very expensive, and has a high mission completion rate.


    According to rumors, this guy has used nuclear materials to kill enemies in the past. This should also be planting poison. "


    ??The word "nuclear material" shocked Mona, and Luo An''s heart skipped a beat, but he didn''t make any reaction and continued to listen to Severine introducing the information he knew about the killer.


    After Severin finished his introduction, Luo An turned the topic to the things that Chenier and others had found out in Las Vegas and asked:


    ��The destroyed Los Angeles branch, the Las Vegas branch, the Kansas City branch, do you know any information on this?��


    "I know."


    Severn nodded and said in a solemn voice:


    ��This is a war.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 685： Frontline killer, sniper identity, next stop

    Chapter 685: Front-line killer, sniper identity, next stop


    War? !


    This word aroused Mona��s question, and Roan was also interested:


    ��Elaborate.��


    Severn twisted his body a few times, changed into a more comfortable position, and explained:


    ��A month and a half ago, most of the first-class killers of ��Skull Flower�� suddenly stopped taking orders.


    According to rumors, the "Blue Eyes Roy", "Red Back Spider" Brenna and others I mentioned just now did something that violated the rules of the organization. The top management of the organization offered a high reward, and these first-class killers went to assassinate them. "


    ?Mona��s eyes flashed and she asked:


    "You mean, the customer service centers in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Kansas City were all destroyed by "Blue Eyes Roy", "Red Back Spider" Brenna and others?"


    ��It��s most likely so.��


    Severn nodded:


    ��Apart from them, I can��t think of anyone else who has such strength.��


    ?? Mona kept the news in her mind silently, and then she was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered the phone call Luo An had made before.


    ??The female customer service staff on the other end of the phone said that Luo An was "difficult to pick the product and could not accept the order in a short time."


    Combining these two pieces of information together, all the front-line killers of the "Skull Flower" killer organization stopped taking orders... A flash of surprise flashed in Mona''s eyes.


    In other words, in the eyes of the "Skull Flower" killer organization, Luo An''s strength is at the same level as the abilities of the frontline killers in their organization?


    ?After thinking about this, Mona looked at Luo An''s back, swallowed, and her breathing gradually became heavier.


    ??Luo An didn''t see Mona''s eyes behind him. He put his hand on his chin and pondered for a while, then slowly raised his head to look at Severine and asked:


    ��So, you are just a second-rate killer in ��Skull Flower��?��


    ����


    ?Severn��s expression froze. Even though that was what happened, were these words a little too direct?


    ?Taking a deep breath and feeling the pain that was still coming from his abdomen, Severine suppressed his thoughts of rebuttal and nodded to acknowledge Luo An''s words.


    ?Luo An then asked:


    ��The sniper who attacked us just now, do you have any suspicion of the killer?��


    ??The sniper''s shooting skills were very accurate, and Luo An still has lingering fears when he thinks about it now.


    ?At that time, Luo An was worried that Mona would be sniped by the opponent, so he chose to drive away and did not go to chase him. However, he had remembered this guy and had to find an opportunity to have a good chat with him.


    ?Hearing Luo An mention the sniper, a flash of anger flashed in Severn''s eyes and he said:


    ��I suspect that the other party is one of the three James brothers.��


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��Introduce it carefully.��


    ��The three brothers are also top-notch killers in ��Skull Flower��.��


    Severn explains:


    ��The three James brothers are triplets. They have been inseparable since childhood, and they also act together when doing tasks.


    ??The three brothers are all top snipers and have very strong melee combat abilities. In addition, they do everything together and often fight three against one, so few people provoke them. "


    ?The few sniper rifle bullets left at the scene were also the reason why Severn became suspicious. The sniper rifle used by the three James brothers has never changed. From their debut to the present, it has always been the M40.


    ��Triplets����


    Luo An was a little surprised when he heard the identities of the three James brothers. It was really rare to see triplets, and it was even rarer for triplets to become killers together.


    ?But this is the Federation after all. There are many talents and heroes everywhere, and the triplet killers are not particularly rare.


    Keeping this information in mind, Luo An asked:


    "Do you have a way to contact King Baal, Immortal Kyle, Blue Eyes Roy, Redback Spider Brenna and other killers?"


    Out of caution, Luo An did not directly state the target he was looking for, but asked for the contact information of all the killers.


    "As you said just now, I am just a second-rate killer. I came to Chicago to work as a killer guard just to earn some money that top-rate killers look down upon."


    Severn smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:


    ��How could I possibly have contact information for those people?��


    ��Think about it again.��


    ??Luo An smiled, silently took out a pistol with his right hand from his waist, flashed it in front of Severn''s eyes, and said in a kind tone:


    ��People will always subconsciously deny themselves and feel that they are not good enough. But if you don��t push yourself, you won��t know where your potential and limits are.


    Come on, work hard to explore your potential, believe in yourself, I think you can. "


    ������x2


    Mona next to her twitched her lips, and Severine was even more chilled by Luo An''s bowl of boiling chicken soup.


    ?Severn subconsciously wanted to curse, but after seeing Luo An''s actions, he silently suppressed his greetings.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and big beads of sweat gradually appeared on Severn''s forehead. Just when Luo An moved his finger to the safety, Severn''s eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly:


    ��I thought of it!��


    ?Luo An nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted Severin on the shoulder:


    ��Look, believe in yourself, you have great potential.��


    ����


    ?Severn��s face twitched and he said:


    ��There is an old guy named Weber. He is a former killer agent. Before the establishment of the "Skull Flower" organization, he helped many killers contact business.


    After the "Skull Flower" organization was established, Old Weber quit the killer broker business and switched to making and selling weapons to killers.


    ??If you want to find those first-class killers, old Weber should have useful information. "


    ? Luo An nodded with understanding. The platform was rising strongly. The Lone Ranger did not want to be an exploited member, so he had no choice but to leave.


    After questioning for a moment, under the horrified looks of Severion and Jayden, Roan swung his fist and knocked them unconscious.


    ?Mona on the side was typing on the keyboard, investigating the former killer agent Weber based on the clues given by Severine. Roan thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone and called Chenelle.


    ??The phone was quickly connected, and Luo An asked:


    ��How are you doing over there?��


    ��You made the right call at the right time. I was about to call you.��


    ?Chenelle��s excited voice came from the other end of the phone. She smiled and said:


    ��Lacey disguised herself and got some clues in the Las Vegas underworld.


    ? ?Three people, whose identities are unclear, attacked this customer service center in Las Vegas.


    After the three destroyed the customer service center, a group of new people approached them. The two sides fought fiercely, leaving several bodies behind, and left Las Vegas before the police arrived.


    We couldn''t get the bodies, but we got photos of what they looked like and are currently trying to figure out their identities. "


    ��Well done.��


    Roan praised Chenelle a few words, and then briefly described the information Severine said here. Chenelle''s face on the other end of the phone changed slightly:


    ��In other words, from the photos of corpses we obtained, they might have been front-line killers of the ��Skull Flower�� organization when they were alive?��


    ��It��s possible.��


    ?Luo An yawned:


    ��But it cannot be ruled out that they may be innocent people passing by, or guys trying to fish in troubled waters.��


    Federal people also have the habit of joining in the fun. Every year, a large number of people are killed or injured by stray bullets while watching the fun.


    Just as Luo An was about to continue talking to Cheniel, Mona suddenly stretched out her hand and tugged on his sleeve, saying with a solemn expression:


    ��Roan, bad news.��


    "What?"


    ��That Weber is dead.��


    ?Mona showed the clues she found to Luo An and said in a deep voice:


    ��The house was burned, the people were tortured and killed, and they died miserably.��


    "as I thought."


    ?Luo An��s expression remained unchanged as he patted Mona on the shoulder, and then said into the phone:


    ��Chanelle, pack up and get ready to go, our next stop: Philadelphia.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 686： Intrigue, convergence

    Chapter 686 Intrigue and Convergence


    ??In downtown Chicago, in an abandoned warehouse near Lake Michigan, it��s two o��clock in the morning.


    ??After a few brief exchanges, Cheniel accepted Luo An''s order and hung up the phone on her own initiative.


    ??Luo An stretched his waist, stuffed the unconscious Severin and Jayden not far away into the car, dealt with the traces of the scene, and led Mona out of the area.


    In the passenger seat, Mona opened her laptop and asked with some confusion:


    ��Luo An, why is Philadelphia the next stop?��


    Under the dim street lights, the car moved forward quickly. Luo An explained while driving:


    "Because there is the "Skull Flower" killer organization there, the last customer service center that has not been destroyed."


    ��Not the last one.��


    ??Mona retorted:


    ��Don��t the call centers still exist here in Chicago?��


    ��But this is a trap.��


    Roan shook his head and explained to Mona seriously:


    "Judging from the clues we have now, the customer service centers in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Kansas City are most likely to be "Blue Eyes Roy", "Red Back Spider Brenna" and their Destroyed by friends acting together.


    At present, we don''t know why they did this, but the senior leaders of the "Skull Flower" killer organization must know the reason, which is why there are so many top-notch killers chasing them. "


    ??Mona nodded, pulled up the federal map on her laptop, and said:


    ��Judging from the map, these five cities, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Chicago, and Philadelphia, from west to east, are barely an irregular straight line on the North American continent.


    After the call center in Kansas City was destroyed, the next stop was Chicago where we are now, so����


    ��So I just said, Chicago is a trap.��


    Roan turned the steering wheel and steered the car into another street. Luo An waved his hand to interrupt Mona and said:


    "We can all tell that the next stop for "Blue Eyes Roy" and others is Chicago, and the top brass of the "Skull Flower" killer organization must also know that they will definitely ambush a large number of people here.


    When I visited the customer service center before, the guards I encountered were just the outward appearance.


    ?Those guards have average abilities, and I didn��t notice anything amiss when I came into close contact with them. They should just be used as tools to paralyze ��Blue Eyes Roy�� and others.


    ??The sniper who sneaked up on me from behind, and the other killers who didn''t show any traces, were probably the real killer moves prepared for "Blue Eyes Roy" and the others. "


    ??Mona reacted after hearing this, and suddenly realized:


    "Blue Eyes Roy" and others may have guessed this, so they chose to bypass Chicago and go straight to Philadelphia."


    Luo An nodded and said:


    ��In addition, I suspect that the previous sequence from Los Angeles, to Las Vegas, and then to Kansas City may also have been deliberately made by ��Blue Eyes Roy�� and others.


    The purpose is to paralyze the top management of the "Skull Flower" organization and make them mistakenly think that their next target is Chicago, and send extra manpower to Chicago to ambush, leaving Philadelphia empty. "


    "damn it."


    ?Mona closed her laptop and frowned:


    ��One layer after another, why do these killers put so much thought into it? Wouldn��t it be simpler?��


    ��No simple-minded person can be a killer.��


    ?? Luo An smiled, intrigues and intrigues were the normal life of a killer. Killers with low IQ and well-developed limbs had long been eaten up by their colleagues.


    ?The car slowly stopped at a dark abandoned dock. Luo An took out his mobile phone and found a number to call.


    ��Good evening, sir.��


    ??The call was quickly connected, and Luo An said with a smile:


    ��I have arrived at the designated place.��


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Veranith''s voice sounded on the phone, and she said in a kind tone:


    ��The receptionist will be here in five minutes.��


    ??Before launching the sneak attack and arrest tonight, Luo An contacted Veranith in advance and asked her to find someone to help deal with the killer she had completed interrogating. ��OK.��


    ?? After a brief exchange of words, Luo An hung up the phone. Within five minutes, a black SUV arrived in the area.


    ??Confirming that there was no problem with the identity of both parties, Roan handed Jayden and Severn to the people sent by Verenis, and then contacted Mona to fly to Philadelphia.


    Philadelphia, located in the southeastern part of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is one of the oldest and most historic cities in the Commonwealth. It is also known as the "City of Friendship" and is separated from New Jersey by a river.


    ?At 8:30 in the morning, Luo An arrived in Philadelphia with Mona, Michelle and NSA agent Elise.


    Luo An didn''t feel the friendship of the "City of Friendship", but he did see a lot of people on the road who were addicted to drugs, had dull eyes, were delirious, were half-clothed, lived on the streets, and lived with garbage and feces. Addicts, you understand why Philadelphia is nicknamed "Zombie City."


    ?At 10:30 in the morning, Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle also arrived in Philadelphia from Las Vegas, and the special investigation team reunited again.


    At noon, on both sides of the conference table in a hotel suite, the special investigation team was having lunch while integrating the information at hand.


    ��Everyone, I have a question that I don��t understand.��


    Lacie swallowed the food in her mouth, raised her hand to attract everyone''s attention, and said with a puzzled face:


    ��The three destroyed customer service centers were only peripheral parts of the Skull Flower organization. It didn��t matter if they were destroyed. It wouldn��t take much effort to rebuild one.


    The really important part of the "Skull Flower" organization is actually the killers, isn''t it? "


    "So, do you think "Blue Eyes Roy" and others should take action against those killers?"


    Winslow took a sip of ice water, shook his head and said:


    "The information found by Team Leader Luo An shows that most of the front-line killers in "Skull Flower" have a strength gap, but the difference is not huge.


    ??If the people of "Blue Eyes-Roy" really point the finger at a group of fellow killers, then they are absolutely crazy. "


    "The current situation of "Blue Eyes Roy" and several people is not much different from "crazy"."


    Chenelle wiped the corners of her mouth and said:


    ��The same group of front-line killers are hunting them down.��


    Michelle at the other end of the table finished her lunch and said:


    ��What Lacey means is that we still haven��t figured out the reason why ��Blue Eyes Roy�� and others went from Los Angeles to Philadelphia and why they did this.


    The former second-line assassin Severin only knew that this was a "war", but he didn''t know the story behind the "war". "


    ��Perhaps revenge, or vengeance.��


    ??Mona��s eyes lit up next to Michelle and she guessed:


    ��It��s like a senior member of the ��Skull Flower�� team accidentally killed a relative of the ��Blue Eyes Roy�� gang?��


    ��You can be bolder in guessing.��


    After Mona finished speaking, Luo An, who had been busy eating and not talking, raised his head and said with a smile:


    ��Suppose someone killed one of Blue Eyes Roy��s dogs, or robbed his delivery.��


    ������xN


    ?The faces of everyone around the conference table were speechless. Lacey complained:


    "You led people to destroy the customer service centers of three killer organizations just for dogs or express delivery. Luo An, the joke you told is too cold."


    ?Luo An smiled, swallowed the food, tidied the garbage, stood up and said:


    Why ""Blue Eyes-Roy"" and others did this? You will know the reason if you catch them.


    I have contacted the relevant departments and support will be there soon.


    The next action plan is very simple. The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind. We must be the oriole! "


    ��Understand.��xN


    People on both sides of the conference table nodded in unison. It was not difficult to understand the meaning of Luo An''s words. "Blue Eyes Roy" and others were going to attack the "Skull Flower" customer service center branch in Philadelphia. A group of killers were chasing "Blue Eyes Roy". - Roy" and others, the special investigation team will catch all these people.


    ?Mona, Michelle, and Elise were left behind to handle surveillance, phone calls, signals, etc.


    ? Lacey, Winslow, Chenille and Roan each led a team after the arrival of SWAT support and parked their cars on the street far away from the customer service center of the "Skull Flower" Philadelphia branch, waiting.


    The next day, at two o''clock in the morning, Mona''s voice suddenly sounded from the contact:


    ��Everyone, find the target person!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 687： carry out action, encircle, break out

    Chapter 687: Carry out action, encircle, break through


    In a certain area of ??South Philadelphia, the street lights are dim.


    The four streets are far apart from each other and surround the "Skull Flower" customer service center in the middle. Looking down from the sky, the overall square shape of the street is eight SWAT personnel carriers with no written signs on the surface, arranged in groups of two. Parked on the side of the road, hidden in the darkness where the lights can''t reach it.


    ??Mona''s voice suddenly sounded from the communicator, which cheered up everyone who had been waiting for a long time. Luo An pressed the communicator and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��Where is the target person?��


    ��Near Route 332, heading toward the northwest side of that area.��


    The communicator echoed with the crackling sound of keyboard typing, and Mona quickly replied:


    ��It��s closer to Winslow!��


    Luo An immediately changed the channel:


    ��Winslow, get ready over there!��


    ��OK!��


    Winslow agreed loudly, and Roan then added:


    ��The rest of the people, start moving towards Winslow! Be careful and careful!��


    "clear!"


    Roan''s order came down, and the troop carriers of Lacey, Chenelle, and Roan in the distance all started moving towards Winslow.


    Just after the six cars had gone far, Winslow''s voice suddenly sounded through the communicator, and his voice was a little urgent:


    ��The target person was confirmed, but other killers appeared behind them, and the two sides have exchanged fire!��


    Luo An didn��t talk nonsense and immediately said loudly:


    ��Organize an encirclement immediately! Prepare for arrest!


    Lacie, Chenelle, hurry to the scene! "


    "no problem!"


    "clear!"


    ? Winslow was ordered to immediately lead the SWAT team to carry out the operation quietly, and Lacey and Chenelle also began to move forward at a faster speed.


    boom!


    ��


    ??Luo An led the team closer and closer to the target area, and several unintense but obvious gunshots entered their ears.


    ??The killers'' battle was not as big and violent as a gang war. In fact, the movement was very small. Judging from the sound of gunshots, it was more like the violent robberies that occur every night on the streets of Philadelphia.


    ?Two troop carriers quickly arrived at the scene. Just as Luo An was about to speak, Cheniel''s voice suddenly sounded on the communicator:


    ��Everyone! There are snipers and observers on the outside. We have been discovered!��


    The car stopped, and the SWAT team members quickly got out of the car. Luo An followed closely and pressed the communicator, giving a serious order:


    ��Start an arrest operation immediately! Arrest the observers and snipers!��


    "clear!"


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    As the words fell, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out in the distance. The SWAT team members did not have the low-key habit of the killers. They preferred to use direct means to quickly complete the task.


    ?At the same time, Luo An also started a siege operation. While moving closer to Winslow, the SWAT team members continued to kill and wound killers who were holding weapons and preparing to flee or attack.


    boom!


    ?The gunshot rang out, and Luo An, who always had "emotional perception" activated in his mind, raised his hand and shot the virgin killer who was ambushing around the corner with perfect accuracy.


    ?Selectively ignoring the angry and shocked expressions of the opponent, Luo An conveniently grabbed the opponent''s pistol. Amid the shocked expressions of the SWAT team members, he kicked the opponent unconscious and then bent down to make a tactical gesture:


    ��Continue! Go to the left!��


    "clear!"


    ?All the SWAT team members suppressed the shock in their hearts and responded in unison. Two of them were left to **** the female killer back to the car, while the rest continued to follow Luo An quickly.


    At the same time, inside the encirclement built by Luo An, there was a white man on the far left side of a building. He was wearing a body armor and had a short haircut. He looked about forty years old and had a pair of blue eyes. He frowned and turned around and said:


    ��We are surrounded.��


    "Nonsense, what do you mean? I can see it without your blue eyes." Behind him, a white woman with a single ponytail and a spider tattoo on her wrist who looked to be in her thirties spat, She tore her sleeves to pieces and tightened the gunshot wound on her left forearm, and said impatiently:


    "The **** "Death Call" was just killed by us, which was considered revenge for "Immortal Kyle" who died in Kansas City.


    But the guys ��Baal the Bastard�� and the Triplets Bastard are on the opposite side, so we are not surrounded. "


    ��I��m not talking about the siege of ��King Baal�� them.��


    ??The blue-eyed white man took a deep breath, silently replaced a new magazine for the pistol in his hand, and said solemnly:


    ��Vivian just sent me a message that people from the federal government have arrived and she is fleeing.��


    "Ah��"


    ??The white woman grinned and revealed a sneer:


    ��You are still called so intimate now, you are worthy of being Blue-Eyed Roy, huh?��


    ?Blue-eyed Roy turned around, glanced helplessly at the woman on the ground, stretched out his hand to her to pull her up, and said:


    ��I didn��t mean����


    Snapped!


    ��No need to support me, the spider��s legs are not broken yet.��


    ??The white woman slapped Roy''s hand away with blue eyes, struggled to stand up, and said coldly:


    "I''m too lazy to talk to you and that person. Now let''s make it clear. People from the federal government are surrounding this place. What are you going to do next?"


    ��We have just got what we want, there is no need to waste time with the federal government people here.��


    ?Blue-eyed Roy took out two energy bars and handed them to the woman. He looked at the building opposite and said in a solemn voice:


    ��King Baal,�� the triplets and the killers behind them should also have received the news that the federal government has surrounded this area. They are definitely more anxious than us and will definitely find a way to break out.


    Next, it��s time to switch roles and let this group of pursuers fight in front to clear the way. The two of us who were previously pursued should follow them and take advantage of the opportunity to get out of here! "


    ��The plan is okay.��


    ??The white woman casually took the energy bar, tore open the package and stuffed it into her mouth to chew a few times. Then she took out a bottle of white powder from her lower back, poured it into her mouth, and swallowed it together with the energy bar.


    Seeing this scene, blue-eyed Roy had a flash of distress in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Seeing the woman''s face gradually turn red, he took a deep breath and began to sneak towards the building diagonally opposite with the woman.


    Boom��


    On the other side, Luo An used his "emotional perception" to point out the hiding place of the killer. The two SWAT team members behind him immediately threw the grenade, and the explosion sounded and the killer instantly flew out of the hiding place.


    ?A SWAT team member cautiously stepped forward to check carefully, then swallowed and gestured to the team:


    ��Successfully killed.��


    ??The two SWAT team members on the left who were on guard were stunned.


    The road from getting off the car to here is not far, but a group of SWAT team members, led by Luo An, have killed 6 killers who tried to hide and leave. Most of them were killed by Luo An personally, or Luo An pointed out position, and then they kill.


    ?These SWAT team members accepted the reason that Luo An had a "sensitive nose", but they still looked like they had seen a ghost every time they saw this scene. They only felt their scalps numb and looked at Luo An with shock and admiration.


    ?Selectively ignoring the gazes of these SWAT team members, Luo An prepared to lead them forward and tighten the encirclement.


    ?At this moment, Lacey��s voice suddenly rang through the communicator:


    ��Requesting for support! The killers on our end have joined together, and they are preparing to break out from us!��


    ��Hold on, we��ll be there soon!��


    ?Roan immediately ordered Chenille, Winslow, and one-third of his SWAT team members to go to support Lacey.


    ??But Luo An himself has no past. Mona saw this scene through positioning and was a little confused:


    ��Luo An, you...��


    ��I suspect this is an attack organized by the killers.��


    ??Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, but before he could continue to speak, a dazzling orange-red fire suddenly erupted not far in front of him!


    ?The next second the fire illuminated the area, there was a deafening explosion!


    Boom��


    ??The huge explosion instantly shattered most of the glass in the building next to Luo An, and all the SWAT team members subconsciously lowered their heads to avoid it.


    Luo An noticed the direction of the explosion. While avoiding the glass shards, he pressed down the contactor, adjusted the channel and asked in a low voice:


    ��Chenelle! How are you doing over there?��


    There was silence on the communicator, no one answered.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 688： save people

    Chapter 688: Rescue


    At 2:30 in the morning, in a certain area in South Philadelphia.


    ??The dark night scene was now shining bright orange-red, a building was burning with raging flames, and the temperature in the surrounding area that was still a little cold was rising rapidly.


    ��Fu-k!��


    ??His call to Cheniel did not receive an answer. Luo An frowned and immediately stood up and moved quickly in that direction. At the same time, he pressed the communicator to change the channel and asked:


    ��Lacie, how are you doing over there now?��


    ��I��m fine here!��


    Lacie quickly replied:


    ��The enemy looks very fierce, and the first wave of attacks is also very fierce, but after we repulse one wave, the subsequent attacks will not be the same.��


    ??Luo An nodded. It seemed that his previous guess was correct. Lacey was indeed surrounded by killers and organized an eastward attack. Chenier''s side was their real breakout route.


    ?? Getting closer and closer to the burning building, and the temperature gradually increased. Luo An adjusted the channel and ordered:


    ��Winslow, Lacey, lead the SWAT team to attack and arrest the killer with all their strength, and move the overall route towards Chenier!��


    "clear!"


    She understood that this was a sign of carbon monoxide poisoning, and her heart felt as cold as falling into an ice cellar. She tried to struggle but had no strength. Her arms became increasingly blurred as her consciousness became increasingly blurred. She finally dropped her arms, and the rag covering her mouth and nose also slowly fell, and fell onto the ground. She was unconscious next to the SWAT team member earlier.


    The two responded in unison, and Luo An also led his team of SWAT members to the location of the burning building.


    ??As the flames rose and more and more carbon monoxide filled the room, Chenelle became increasingly dizzy and nauseous.


    ??There were several injured SWAT team members lying on the ground outside the building. Cheniel was not there. Luo An quickly led people over to help with treatment and asked:


    ��Wait a minute! Leader Luo An! I��m going too!��


    ��Team Leader Luo An?!��


    A SWAT team member with a dusty face and minor injuries coughed a few times and replied:


    ��The killers ignited the natural gas in the building.��


    ?Several SWAT team members shouted in shock, and two SWAT team members quickly followed and rushed into the fire.


    "what happened?"


    ?This building has a total of six floors. At this time, there was billowing smoke and blazing flames everywhere from the first to the fourth floor.


    As soon as Luo An ran out of the room, a loud noise sounded behind him, and the ruins above the door collapsed. While the room was completely blocked, the dust stirred up suddenly covered Luo An''s face.


    The faces of the SWAT team members led by Luo An changed and they all cursed. Luo An didn''t say anything, stood up and took a deep breath. Under the astonished eyes of the SWAT team members, he suddenly rushed towards the entrance of the building.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    With the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An clearly located the three SWAT members and Chenelle who were still conscious inside the building.


    ?Haunting the two rescue SWAT team members with pieces of wet clothes covering their mouths and noses, and pointing out the location of the injured SWAT team member, Luo An took out the [Swift Potion], [Antidote Potion] and [Scuba Potion] and drank them.


    Boom��


    Bang!


    ?Kicking open the collapsed door, Luo An jumped over the flames and jumped into the room. He picked up Chenelle, then picked up the SWAT team member next to him, and quickly turned around and evacuated out of the room.


    The room next to the stairs on the second floor was filled with smoke and dust. Chenier and a SWAT team member covered their mouths and noses with wet pieces of clothing. They tried to escape, but they were both injured in the legs by the explosion. Impossible to move at all.


    ��Cough cough cough����


    ?At this time, the fire scene is full of harmful substances such as carbon monoxide, cyanide, and nitrogen oxides. [Scuba Medicine] can prevent people from breathing for a period of time, and [Antidote Medicine] is just in case.


    "damn it!"


    ??Luo An, who was caught off guard and took a big mouthful of dust, coughed crazily. Under the pressure of discomfort, he continued to rush out of the building.


    ?Outside the building, everyone was receiving emergency treatment, including the two SWAT team members who had just rushed out of the fire, and their teammates who were rescued by them.


    ?While rescuing people, everyone looked nervous and stared closely at the door of the building. There was a lot of sweat on their foreheads, and their breathing slowed down subconsciously.��������������������������������������������������������������


    Suddenly, the flames at the door shook suddenly, and a black figure rushed out of the flames, holding the unconscious Chenille in his arms, and carrying the unconscious SWAT team member on his shoulders, it was Luo An.


    ��Put out the fire quickly!��


    ��Save people! Save people quickly!��


    ??Everyone outside the building was shocked and excited, and they all shouted in alarm. Several of them hurriedly stepped forward to take Luo An''s hand, and several others quickly hit the flames on Luo An''s body with clothes.


    ����


    After handing Chenille and the SWAT team members to others, Luo An quickly took off the clothes that were ignited by the flames. Except for a small burn on his shoulder, there was no serious injury elsewhere.


    Luo An, who felt a little tired, sat down on the ground. While the SWAT team members next to him were busy giving emergency treatment to the four Cheniers, they looked at Luo An with unconcealable admiration and admiration.


    It takes a lot of courage to rush into a fire to save people. Successfully rescuing people is almost like running in front of death. Thinking of the scene of running out of the fire with people in their arms, the SWAT team members were extremely shocked.


    ��Leader Luo An, your water.��


    ??A SWAT team member walked up to Luo An and handed him a bottle of unopened mineral water found nearby. Luo An took it and thanked him, took a sip and asked:


    ��Have you found the direction in which the killers broke out?��


    ��Found it.��


    The SWAT team members nodded and replied in a solemn voice:


    "Just now when Team Leader Luo An went to rescue people, our search team on the east side was attacked. It was the group of killers. They snatched several passers-by''s cars and started moving southeast."


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded, took a few deep breaths and stood up. Another SWAT team member suddenly came over, handed an object to Luo An, and said in a solemn voice:


    ��Captain Luo An, this is the item that Agent Chenier was holding tightly in her hand when she was unconscious.


    She woke up briefly just now and handed it to us, but did not say where she got it. "


    Taking the item handed over by the SWAT team member, Luo An looked at this brand new 7.62��51 mm M40 sniper rifle NATO standard bullet. Luo An raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile:


    ��It��s okay, I know you.��


    ? Luo An had a bright smile and a kind tone, but the throats of the two SWAT members were rolling and they felt a chill coming towards their faces.


    ? Wiping the dust from his face, Luo An put on a clean set of body armor and other equipment, put away the M40 sniper rifle bullets, and ordered:


    ��You will stay where you are for the time being, waiting to meet up with Agent Winslow, Agent Lacey and others.


    After reuniting, head to the southeast together to surround and arrest the group of killers. "


    The SWAT team member on the left was stunned for a moment:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, what about you?��


    Loading the pistol with a "click" sound, Luo An grinned:


    ��I will chase and intercept those killers to buy you time.��


    ?At present, the group of killers have fled a long distance, and the pursuit speed of the SWAT team members is too slow, and the two sides will only get further and further apart.


    ?Furthermore, the way SWAT members act is more adept at using direct violence to face criminals such as gangsters, drug addicts, and serial killers.


    ? Killers are people with flexible minds and various attack methods. Most of them are loners and have various escape methods. SWAT team members always seem a bit rigid when facing them.


    As for his own safety, Luo An was not worried. He was not sure whether he could defeat a group of killers, but if he simply wanted to leave, the group of killers would never be able to stop him.


    ??After the simple arrangements were completed, Luo An watched Chenier and others being taken away by the ambulance. He took a deep breath, started the SUV and drove into the distance.


    ?At the same time, several cars were chasing each other at high speed on the highway along the Delaware River south of Philadelphia.

 Chapter 689： Triangles are stable

    Chapter 689: Triangles are Stable


    ��These **** guys!��


    ?In the black car at the front, a white woman with a spider tattoo on her wrist was kneeling in the back seat of the car, holding a pistol and shooting wildly at the cars behind her.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    Because the car kept shaking left and right, only half of the bullets hit the brown SUV behind it. The white woman became even more angry. She turned back and yelled at the white man driving:


    ��Mother Fu-ker! Roy, can you drive a little more steadily?!��


    ��You think I don��t want to? Brenna?��


    ?Blue-eyed Roy, who was driving, also looked angry and shouted:


    ��Those guys behind me kept hitting our car��s tires! How could I keep driving in a straight line?!��


    ��Fu-kYou!��


    ??Brenna cursed a few times, but she also knew that Roy was telling the truth. Then she fired a few shots, lowered her head, hid in the back seat of the car to change the magazine, and asked:


    ��Those **** **** either died in that fire or at the hands of the federal government.


    ��This game is over, we are the winners, Barr, it��s time for you to quit.��


    ��It��s not an option to be hunted down all the time!��


    The triplets came together, and the elder in the middle laughed and said:


    There was a loud noise when the two cars collided. Under the action of inertia, the black car instantly flipped to the ground out of control and rolled forward several times. The ground was covered with car parts.


    There are only two of us. Your arm is injured and I am injured on the thigh. Our chances of winning in a head-to-head confrontation are too low! "


    "Yeah?"


    ?A white man got out of the white car, and two white men got out of the red car. The three of them looked very similar, and none of them had hair.


    ? King Baal narrowed his eyes slightly and took out a small Arabian scimitar from behind.


    Boom!


    �O


    Before Roy could finish his words, a white car suddenly rushed out from another intersection and hit the black car.


    ??Roy turned the steering wheel and turned around the intersection, shouting loudly:


    ��The four people on the opposite side are all the most powerful guys.


    �C


    ����


    ?Now the only ones chasing us are "Baal the Bastard" and the "Mongrel Triplets". Can we find a way to kill them? It��s so frustrating to be chased all the time like this! "


    ??The front of the white car was dented with a big hole, and the off-road vehicle and red car behind it suddenly braked and stopped on the side of the road.


    ??He looked at Roy and Brenna, who were struggling to climb out of the car not far away, and turned to look at the white man next to the white car:


    ��The driving skills are very good, and the sneak attacks are also good.��


    "Thanks."


    ��It��s okay, I have a plan, wait a minute����


    ??The white man who got off the off-road vehicle looked about forty years old, with short blond hair, a high nose, and a cold face.


    ��It��s better to be aggrieved than to die!��


    The triplets separated automatically without saying a word. The third child walked towards the overturned car and prepared to tie up Blue-eyed Roy and Red-backed Spider Brenna. The eldest and second child took out two three-edged thorns and walked towards King Baal together. .


    Just as the two sides were preparing to fight, an extremely bright light and the roar of a car suddenly came from the distance.


    ?Several people subconsciously turned their heads and saw a black SUV speeding towards them like lightning without any sign of slowing down.


    ��Fu-k!�� Several people��s expressions changed and they hurriedly ran away. The eldest of the triplets even shouted to the third:


    ��Get out of the way!��


    ?Lao San also changed his expression and hurried to avoid it, but the black SUV seemed to be aiming at him, and even if it turned a corner, it hit him straight away.


    Bang!


    With a loud noise, the black SUV hit the white car hard. The third child was caught in the middle before he could react. A mouthful of blood spurted out, his head tilted and he lost consciousness instantly.


    ��Bob?!�� x2


    The face of the eldest and the second twins changed drastically. Although they were angry, they controlled themselves and did not step forward. They carefully observed the situation of the SUV. King Barr next to him frowned slightly and silently increased his vigilance.


    score


    ?The next second, there was a muffled sound, and the driver''s door of the SUV was kicked open, creating a cloud of dust in the distance. A man wearing a black hood slowly walked out of it.


    Looking at the killers in front of him, Luo An grinned, revealing his slightly white teeth under the light:


    ��Good evening, everyone, nice to meet you.


    Introduce yourself, you can call me "April Fool''s Day". "


    ? King Baal frowned, and the eldest and second eldest of the triplets were a little confused. They had never heard of this name.


    ?But the name is just an unimportant code name. King Baal asked in a solemn voice:


    ��Your target is also Blue Eyes and Spider?��


    Luo An didn��t answer. The second among the triplets suddenly darkened his face and whispered:


    ��Brother, he seems to be the guy that Bob mentioned before and missed with the sniper rifle.��


    The eldest brother''s face changed, and he became more vigilant and cautious again. He looked at each other and the second eldest brother nodded slightly, then suddenly took out his pistol and pulled the trigger at King Baal and Luo An respectively.


    The two of them were preparing to fight with King Baal with cold weapons, which was a sign of respect for tradition. Now that Luo An, a strange troublemaker, has appeared, the only way to avenge Bob is to directly violently kill the enemy.


    boom! boom! boom!


    The two brothers had a clear understanding of each other and acted almost at the same time, but King Baal and Roan were both wary of the brothers. They all turned over to dodge the second before the two fired, and they also took out their pistols and started to fight back.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ??Both sides reacted very quickly, and all the bullets were fired. Just as Luo An was about to continue shooting, a chill suddenly came to his heart, and he subconsciously lowered his head to avoid it.


    boom! boom!


    ?Two bullets hit the position where Luo An was just now. The person who shot him this time was not the triplets, but King Baal. He also had the idea of ????getting rid of the stranger Luo An first.


    ?Luo An did not hesitate to raise his gun to fight back. Gunfire erupted from the scene, and the camp was in chaos.


    ?The triplets attacked Luo An and King Baal, and King Baal attacked the triplets and Luo An. Luo An also attacked the two enemies. The triangle was stable, and there was a brief stalemate for several seconds.


    ?Compared to the marksmanship of King Baal and the triplets, Luo An''s marksmanship was more accurate, and the direction of the bullets fired from the gun was also more tricky, which caused the triplets to dodge and jump in surprise:


    ��Damn it, who is this guy?��


    ��How come we��ve never heard of someone with this kind of marksmanship?��


    ? King Baal also felt a little incredible. He had been walking as a killer for nearly twenty years. Not only had he seen all the first-line killers, he at least had information and understanding about them.


    ??But before him, the man in a hooded man with a skillful marksmanship and quick reactions was not a suitable candidate for him.


    The first corner of the triangle that couldn''t hold on was King Baal. He didn''t bring many weapons. He spent some on chasing Blue-Eyed Roy and others, and some more when he broke out from Luo An''s encirclement. Now he didn''t take long to fire bullets. Consumed.


    ?After all the bullets were fired, King Barr threw out the pistol, then picked up a small Arabian scimitar and rushed towards Luo An''s position.


    ??The triplets followed immediately, but several of them jumped and rolled to the bunker where Luo An was, but they were all stunned because there was no one there.


    The three of them looked at each other, and King Baal started fighting again with one against two.


    At the same time, on the other side, next to the overturned car, covered in blood, blue-eyed Roy struggled to get up and was about to hug Brenna, the red-backed spider, and leave quietly. His body froze. Luo An in front of him chuckled:


    ��Good evening, Mr. Roy, where are you going?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 690： Two peaches kill three people

    Chapter 690 Two peaches kill three people


    ?At three-thirty in the morning, south of Philadelphia, on a road near the Delaware River.


    On the right side of the road, an SUV hit the side of a white car, forming a T-shape, with a hairless white man in the middle who was vomiting blood and unconscious.


    Behind the T, two white men, also without hair, were fighting with a white man with short blond hair. Two triangular thorns were fighting against a small Arabian scimitar. The cold light flashed between the sound of the wind, and the moves were fatal.


    On the left side of the road, a car rolled to the ground with its wheels in the air, surrounded by car parts and broken glass.


    ??Redback Spider Brenna was busy shooting just now and did not wear a seat belt. She was seriously injured when the car rolled over. Her whole body was covered with blood, and she fell into a deep coma.


    ?Blue-eyed Roy''s condition is slightly better, but there are also many wounds on his body. The blood on the top of his head is flowing down his cheeks. He looks like a perverted murderer in the movie.


    At this time, this "perverted murderer" felt cold in his heart and his muscles were tense because there was a stranger wearing a black hood standing in front of him.


    ?Blue-eyed Roy just saw this strange hooded man having a brief exchange of fire with King Baal and the triplets.


    It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of this man in a black hood is absolutely equivalent to the top killers in the "Skull Flower" killer organization.


    The hooded man��s strength is equal to that of a first-line killer. He can usually compete with the first-line killer 50-50, but now he is injured, and he has to bring Brenna, the red-backed spider, with him...


    Luo An retreated a few steps and looked behind him. He saw King Baal standing on the left side. His clothes were damaged a lot. There were many wounds on his arms and shoulders. They were not deep but were slowly bleeding.


    Luo An stepped forward and raised his hand, and the two daggers collided instantly. In the moment of stalemate, Roy raised his foot and kicked Luo An, and the target went straight to Luo An''s lower body.


    ??Roy is a killer. As long as he can successfully kill the target, he doesn''t care what method he uses. Eye stabs, kicks in the crotch, chokeholds, whichever method is quick, effective and direct will be used.


    ��What you said makes me feel like a villain?��


    ??Standing on the right side are the remaining eldest and second eldest of the triplets. Their situation is even worse.


    ? ? Quickly raised his knees to press against the opponent''s thigh. Luo An turned his body and tucked the opponent''s right arm under his armpit. He clenched his right fist, tightened his arm muscles, and punched the opponent''s stomach hard.


    Wearing a black hood, Luo An grinned and took out a dagger from behind. With a cold light flashing, he replied in a cold voice:


    ��Give you one last chance to put down your weapons.��


    The eldest son''s face turned pale, and there were two wounds on his right arm and chest. The second son was breathing rapidly. There were wounds on his left shoulder, cheek, chest, etc., and his clothes were dyed red.


    There was a sound of clothes shattering. King Baal, who had failed in his sneak attack, dodged Luo An''s dagger and stood aside in a vigilant posture.


    The two men''s eyes met, and they both saw the strong murderous intent in the other''s eyes. Roy knew that he was getting weaker as time passed, so he roared suddenly, grabbed the dagger and rushed towards Luo An.


    �O


    The next second, Luo An frowned slightly and lowered his head suddenly. While dodging, he raised the dagger and quickly slashed behind him.


    ???Roy quickly stood up and took a warning posture again. He glanced at his crazily trembling left arm and his eyes were moved. He didn''t understand why the hooded man in front of him seemed to be of average build and not particularly strong, but he was so strong.


    ����


    Luo An''s physical fitness is already good. He drank [Stamina Potion], [Antidote Potion], [Swiftness Potion] and [Strength Potion] while driving just now, and his reflexes are far beyond normal.


    ??Roy raised his left arm to block, but he far underestimated Luo An''s strength. There was a muffled sound when the muscles collided. Roy''s pupils shrank suddenly and he let out a suppressed cry of pain. He fell backward uncontrollably and fell to the ground.


    ? King Baal, the triplets, Roy, and Luo An, each stood in a corner of the four sides, forming a quadrilateral shape. They held weapons in their hands and carefully observed the other three sides.


    ?Blue-eyed Roy took a few deep breaths, and his eyes gradually became firm. He slowly put down the red-backed spider Brenna, took out a dagger from his waist, and said in a solemn voice:


    "Step aside."


    Ding-


    ??Knocked back the blue-eyed killer in front of him with one move, Luo An''s expression remained unchanged, he shook the dagger and prepared to move forward.


    ��Guys, how about we chat?��


    After observing for a few seconds, Luo An suddenly laughed out loud and said:


    ��Many things just don��t have enough price and conditions.


    We can discuss a suitable plan and each get what he needs. There is no need to fight and kill, right? �� ? ? Luo An��s purpose was to delay time. He calculated the speed and distance Winslow, Lacey and others drove, and they should be here soon.


    ? King Baal, the triplets, and Roy looked at each other, suddenly nodded, then raised their weapons and rushed towards Luo An!


    The reason why they did this is very simple. Luo An is the only person on the scene who is not injured and has the best preserved physical strength. He is the strongest. Killing him first is the best plan.


    Ding-


    ?Luo An frowned slightly and took a step back to hold the weapons of several people. He guessed what they were thinking. He would save others by himself. If it were him, he would do the same.


    Holding the dagger in his hand, Luo An either swept or made upward strokes and downward strokes, repelling all the moves of the four people trying to kill him. When attacking from the front, Luo An used the dagger to counterattack without mercy, or slashed the opponents. Or stabbing, every move brings blood.


    �O


    ??The first person to withdraw from the battlefield was Roy. He was already injured, and his movements became slower and slower. He was kicked from behind by Luo An and knocked into the car door. He lay on the ground motionless.


    ��Fu-k!��


    "damn it!"


    ??Roy was kicked away, and the triplets and King Baal''s brows jumped, becoming more and more frightened.


    At the beginning, they attacked Luo An together. King Baal did not use all his strength, mainly because he was afraid that the triplets would hold back. Later, when he had no strength, the triplets had the strength to deal with him.


    Like King Baal, the triplets also thought so, so they did not use all their strength.


    Even the triplets are still doubting whether Roy was kicked away because he couldn''t beat him, or whether he was kicked away deliberately because he wanted to preserve his strength and hide his strength.


    ??In the midst of the intrigue, the triplets were fighting and suddenly realized that something was wrong.


    Because Luo An used more defensive measures to face King Baal, while facing the two brothers, he continued to attack!


    ��Nonsense, of course I want to beat you.��


    ??A cold light flashed, and the dagger made a deep wound on the abdomen of the triplets. Facing the two people with angry faces, Luo An smiled and said loudly:


    ��Now that things have come to a point, I won��t act anymore!


    ??I, "April Fool''s Day," is the helper King Baal called! "


    ?King Baal: ������


    Two brothers: ������


    The corners of the mouths of the three people twitched. Of course they could see that Luo An was lying casually.


    But as time went by, the wounds on the triplets became more and more numerous, but the wounds on King Baal remained the same as before.


    Luo An stabbed his shoulder with a dagger again, and blood flowed from the wound. The second brother''s eyes were red due to the severe pain. He roared suddenly, kicked Luo An away, raised the three-edged thorn and pointed towards the Queen of Baal. Slashed in the back.


    ����


    "ah-"


    King Baal screamed in agony when he couldn''t dodge, and a long wound was opened on his back by a three-edged thorn.


    ?King Baal quickly retreated, his face red and angry:


    ��Motherfu-ker! You����


    ��Fu-kYou! sonof than eat!**#%@����


    Before King Baal finished speaking, the second child cursed loudly, grabbed the three-edged thorn and rushed towards King Baal crazily.


    Beside him, Luo An slowly stood up from the ground and smiled: "Two peaches kill three people. There is no harm to the minority. The ancients will not deceive me."

 Chapter 691： adrenaline, arrest

    Chapter 691 Adrenaline, Arrest


    ??Ashes were everywhere, and the factions on the scene changed again. King Baal and the second of the triplets began to fight, and the eldest brother still faced Luo An.


    ??The method used by Luo An was a conspiracy. Although the triplets knew that Luo An was an assistant to King Baal was a lie, they had to jump into this trap.


    Because Luo An has been attacking the two brothers, the brothers have more and more wounds and their strength is getting weaker and weaker. If they don''t want to be eventually solved by King Baal, the winner who is likely to survive to the end, they must weaken King Baal and attack with all their strength. he.


    ��This move of yours is powerful enough.��


    ??Looking at King Baal and the second brother who were fighting madly, the eldest of the three brothers took a deep breath, with undisguised anger in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:


    ��April Fools�� Day, huh? Later I��ll chop off your head and turn you into All Hallows�� Eve.��


    Halloween, the ghost festival in Western culture.


    "You can try."


    Luo An grinned, his body slightly arched into a fighting posture, and said with a smile:


    ��Now one on one, see if you can succeed.��


    ??Luo An took advantage of the opportunity to dodge the three-pointed thorn in his hand, and in the shocked and horrified eyes of the triplets, he directly pierced his left arm, and then kicked him completely unconscious with a flying kick.


    ? King Baal is deeply aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the killer. In addition, he has many wounds on his body, and he does not intend to go head-to-head with the federal government.


    ?The arm was bent and the severe pain from the broken bones immediately made the triplets break into cold sweat and scream loudly.


    Bang!


    As soon as King Baal ran to the car, Luo An dodged the poisonous needle, quickly moved to his side, kicked the open car door shut, and said in a condensed voice:


    ����


    ??The three-edged thorn blade was approaching, Luo An faced it head-on, raised the dagger to clamp the blade, and pressed his other hand directly on the arm of the eldest of the triplets.


    ?The next second, Luo An frowned slightly, and he suddenly jumped forward and rolled on the ground. He stood up and looked at the place where the sound landed, and found that it was a thin needle glowing with purple light.


    ��Are you from the federal government?��


    Luo An turned his head and looked to the other side. King Baal stood up slowly. At his feet was the second of the triplets. His arms were chopped off and he was lying in a pool of blood. His eyes were wide and he had completely lost his breath.


    ? King Baal��s words were questions, but his tone was indeed affirmative. Without waiting for Luo An to answer, he suddenly raised his hand and shot all the poisonous needles in the small Arabian scimitar towards Luo An, then turned around and ran quickly to the car not far away, intending to leave the place.


    With a low roar, the muscles of Luo An''s right arm trembled, and the unrivaled force directly pushed the triplets to his knees. With his knees against the opponent''s body, he suddenly bent his right arm outwards!


    Click!


    Luo An picked up the thin needle, looked at the purple light on it and raised his eyebrows:


    ��Neurotoxin? Or blood toxin?��


    "ah-"


    Seeing Luo An knocking the eldest of the triplets unconscious and dodging the poisonous needle he secretly shot, King Baal''s eyelids jumped. He suppressed the shock in his heart, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:


    ��When did I say you could quit and leave?��


    "Feel sorry."


    "April Fool''s Day, today I admit defeat. Blue-eyed Roy is yours and I leave."


    ??King Baal suddenly stopped mid-sentence, frowned and looked gloomy, looked at Luo An and said:


    King Baal apologized casually, and just as he was about to explain, he suddenly heard the sound of a car and a cloud of dust in the distance. Upon seeing this, King Baal immediately said:


    ??The eldest of the triplets snorted coldly, stepped **** the ground with his right foot, and suddenly rushed in front of Luo An like a cheetah, with the three-edged thorn heading straight for Luo An''s throat.


    ��It��s April Fool��s Day, the federal government is here, we don��t have to...��


    ��I told you, you can��t leave.��


    Seeing Luo An''s movements and speed in dodging the poisonous needle, and then seeing the wounds on his body, as well as the fact that he was much less physically fit than before, King Baal''s back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.


    Before, he and two brothers fought against Luo An and one person. Although they were holding each other back, Luo An was still strong enough, otherwise he would have died in their hands.


    ??Seeing the dust getting closer and closer in the distance, King Baal''s eyes flashed with a stern look. He took a few steps back and took out a small needle from his pocket and stabbed it into the outside of his thigh. After the battle just now, Luo An also had a few not-so-deep wounds on his body. King Baal��s actions made him frown slightly:


    ��Adrenaline?��


    King Baal did not answer. After the injection, his face instantly turned red. With a low roar, he picked up the three-edged thorns of the triplets and stabbed Luo An quickly!


    Ding-


    ??Luo An raised his dagger to block the three-edged thorn. King Baal continued to slash, moving quickly from left to right, emitting an extremely powerful sound of breaking through the air, carrying astonishing destructive power.


    ??The sound of breaking through the air was violent and intertwined, churning the air to form a series of harsh noises. The three-pointed thorns slashed through the car next to it while dodging, leaving cracks on the car in an instant.


    Facing King Baal''s increasingly faster attack speed, Luo An''s expression remained unchanged, and he kept looking for opportunities to counterattack while dodging. The moment he held the three-edged thorn with his dagger, he clenched his left fist and rushed forward, hitting it hard. King Baal��s chest!


    Bang!


    The sound sounded like muffled thunder in King Baal''s chest. The severe pain caused by the terrifying force made King Baal''s eyes bulge. Before he could counterattack, Luo An then raised his thigh and swept across, directly kicking King Baal away. go out!


    Boom��


    ? King Baal flew out upside down and hit the side of the car hard, forming a dent visible to the naked eye.


    ?The aftermath spread out, blowing away the dust in all directions.


    In the dust, King Bal''s eyes stared at Luo An''s face full of unwillingness, and he struggled to think of his body with a triangular thorns in his right hand, but finally spit out a bite of blood, and his body lay softly.


    ??It hit Blue-Eyed Roy right on the back.


    ??Roy: ������


    ??Roy, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, saw everything passing behind him. When King Baal fell, it hit the wound on his body, but he didn''t say a word.


    ?Things have developed far beyond Blue-Eyed Roy''s expectations. He is now very convinced that he cannot defeat Luo An, so he might as well continue to pretend to be dead, try to reduce his sense of presence, and find a way to escape later.


    Then after Winslow and others arrived at the scene, Luo An waved his hand and said:


    ��Clean up the scene. There��s a man pretending to be dead at the other end. We��ll get some more handcuffs later and make them tighter.��


    ??Roy: ������


    Seeing Roy being pulled up and handcuffed by the SWAT team with his face full of shock and confusion, Luo An grinned. He relied on his "emotional perception" to see people. Roy''s various emotions were very active, and from his perspective, they were bigger than a light bulb. Still conspicuous.


    ?A group of SWAT team members arrived at the scene and were shocked to see the scene here. They had fought against these killers before and understood how difficult these killers were.


    Unexpectedly, these people were all defeated by Team Leader Luo An alone... All the SWAT team members looked at each other and saw the disbelief and admiration in each other''s eyes.


    ?Hearing Luo An��s order, all the SWAT team members immediately swarmed forward and began to deal with the scene carefully and conscientiously.


    ? Winslow and Lacey suppressed the shock in their hearts and quickly ran to Luo An, their faces full of nervousness:


    ��Luo An, are you okay?��


    ��I��m fine.��


    ??Lacie took the emergency treatment medicine and began to treat Luo An''s wounds. Luo An smiled and asked:


    ��How is Chenelle?��


    Winslow breathed a sigh of relief and replied:


    ��The hospital said she��s fine and just needs to recover for a while.��


    ? Luo An nodded, and Lacey added:


    "In addition, we arrested a killer named Vivian before, and she told a lot of information."


    "for example?"


    ��For example, we investigated the murderer of the former NSA director.��

 Chapter 692： During the interrogation, conservatives felt that radicals were too conservative

    Chapter 692: Interrogation, conservatives feel that radicals are too conservative


    One day later, Sunday, 10 a.m., Washington, D.C., underground prison in the FBI headquarters building.


    ??This prison is a temporary detention prison for the FBI. Ordinary criminals will not be sent here, but only very dangerous guys will be held here.


    The elevator door opened, and Roan walked out of the elevator with Mexican chicken tacos in his hand. He nodded to the detective guarding the elevator, and then led Mona, Lacey and Michelle into the prison together.


    ?Ten minutes later, Roy, the killer, with bandages on his head, chest, back, etc., was brought into the interrogation room.


    ??This is a very special interrogation room, divided into two rooms. In the left room there is only a metal chair with a lock and welded to the ground for the prisoner to sit on and lock and control the prisoner.


    The room on the right has a normal long table and chairs for interrogators to use. There is a wall and double-sided glass between the two rooms. This design is for just in case and to ensure the personal safety of interrogators.


    Roy, who was chained to a metal chair, was speechless when he learned about the room design idea:


    The person interrogating me across from me is much more dangerous than me, so he should be sitting here!


    In the interrogation room, Mona, Michelle and Lacey all sat down, took out pens and paper, and computers and began to prepare.


    "Dangerous Person" Luo An sat down on the interrogation table, swallowed the food in his mouth, smiled at Roy across from him through the glass window, and said:


    ��Good morning, Mr. Roy. How are you? Does the wound still hurt?��


    Looking at the Mexican chicken taco in Luo An��s hand, Roy swallowed and asked instead of answering Luo An��s question:


    ��How are Vivian and Brenna doing?��


    ? Mona, Michelle and Lacey frowned slightly after hearing these words. The method Roy used was direct and crude, even a little too simple. It was far different from the high technology and psychological games they had thought of before.


    ��Roy, according to Vivian��s account, you were the poisoner in the poisoning death of former NSA Director Eric Baldwin, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Roy spread his hands:


    ?Mona and Michelle��s eyes lit up, and Lacey then asked:


    ??Luo An has a calm face and is a killer with a high success rate. Most of the methods he uses are simple and return to nature, because the more plans there are, the easier it is to encounter accidents and eventually go wrong.


    ?So he disguised his identity and gave several bags of high-end black tea to the wife of the former NSA director. The black tea actually contained a small amount of radioactive material, and drinking it would kill you.


    ��They are okay, there is nothing serious about their health.��


    ??Roy said that the former NSA director had always had the habit of drinking two cups of black tea after meals.


    ��I hid the radioactive material in the old man��s black tea.��


    Hearing that the two female killers were fine, Blue-Eyed Roy breathed a sigh of relief and admitted the matter directly:


    "One of the rules of the "Skull Flower" killer organization: employer information is top secret, and the killer is only responsible for performing tasks and receiving commissions, regardless of the reasons behind it."


    ��How is it done specifically?��


    ��It was my hand that moved it.��


    "I have no idea."


    ?Luo An smiled, finished the food in a few mouthfuls, and said directly without any nonsense:


    ?Roy shook his head and denied:


    Changing the topic away from this matter, Luo An asked:


    ��Who was your employer who asked you to kill the former NSA Director?��


    ??Mona noticed the problem in Roy''s words and asked in a serious voice:


    "You mean, the "Skull Flower" killer organization has the ability to know the employer''s information?"


    Lacie suddenly realized:


    ��So you led people to destroy three customer service centers in order to trace your employer��s information?��


    ��No, I��m here for revenge and to find out the truth.��


    ??Roy said that not long after he completed his mission as the former NSA director, he received news that his former agent, Old Weber, had been tortured and killed.


    ?On the way to Old Weber��s place to investigate, Roy discovered that several of his killer friends had also died under mysterious circumstances recently. Then Roy received a distress call from his friend, "Immortal Kyle". Someone was chasing him.


    ??Roy rushed there to rescue "Immortal Kyle", and during the battle, he discovered that the people who attacked him were all killers from "Skull Flower".


    ��In addition, I also remembered something at that time.��


    ?Roy looked gloomy and said:


    ��While working on the former NSA Director��s assignment, I discovered that there were other killers. At the time, I thought it was a saturation assassination requested by my employer.


    When I exchanged information with "Immortal Kyle" later, I learned that there were other killers when he was performing a certain mission some time ago.


    ??The purpose of those redundant killers is not to kill the target person at all, but to find ways to find evidence when "Immortal Kyle" killed the target person, such as photos, fingerprints and other information! "


    Michelle frowned:


    ��In other words, the real situation of those killing missions is actually to find a way to kill you killers?��


    ??Lacie had a puzzled look on her face, Mona thought for a few seconds and suddenly raised her head and looked at Luo An with a surprised look on her face.


    She remembered that Luo An had mentioned before when checking the surveillance that the real target of those killers might not be the former director of the NSA.


    ?At the time, she and the NSA agents thought Luo An was talking about the wife of the former NSA director, but they didn��t expect that Luo An was actually talking about these killers!


    ?Luo An patted Mona on the shoulder and then asked:


    ��Roy, you led people to destroy those three customer service centers and found out the truth?��


    ??Roy sighed longly:


    ��Not yet, just the last few steps.��


    In the process of destroying those customer service centers, Blue-Eyed Roy and others killed many killers. They killed old Webb, his friend, Immortal Kyle, Red-backed Spider Brenna, Purple Rose Vivian and others. and their friends took revenge.


    But revenge is only one of the goals of Roy and others. They also have to figure out the truth behind the attack on them.


    To this end, Roy and others, as Luo An had speculated before, first started from Los Angeles, then to Las Vegas, and then to Kansas City, creating the illusion that their next target was Chicago, leaving the actual target Philadelphia with an empty defense.


    ?But I didn��t expect that in Philadelphia, I would not only meet King Barr, the triplets and others, but also the special investigation team led by Luo An, as well as the SWTA members. In the end, the goal failed and the people were arrested.


    ??Roy raised his head with a complicated expression. Luo An selectively ignored the other party''s eyes and continued to ask:


    ��What information did you find out here in Philadelphia?��


    ��A very simple message.��


    ?Roy looked gloomy and said:


    ��The man behind the tidy incident is a senior member of the ��Skull Flower�� killer organization��


    ??After questioning for a while, Roy was taken out of the interrogation room. While waiting for the next prisoner, Mona and the others started discussing.


    ��So, the murder of the former NSA director and the murder of Roy and other killers by other killers are actually the same thing.��


    Lacie scratched a few times in the notebook she had just recorded the information in, and frowned:


    ��The difference is that the former director of the NSA is a ��bait�� set by the mastermind, while Roy and other killers are ��targets�� set by the mastermind.��


    ��Judging from the information obtained now, this is indeed the case.��


    Michelle nodded, then looked puzzled:


    ��But why did the ��mastermind�� do this?��


    ??Mona was also very puzzled and looked up at Luo An. Luo An picked up the coffee and took a calm sip:


    ��Don��t worry, there are still several killers, let��s take your time to interrogate them.��


    Soon, "King Baal" was brought into the interrogation room for the second time. When he heard Luo An''s question, he sneered:


    "It''s very simple. Among the senior leaders of "Skull Flower", conservatives feel that radicals are too conservative, while radicals feel that conservatives are too radical."


    ???��


    ?Mona, Lacey and Michelle looked confused. They seemed to understand the sentence, but they didn''t seem to understand either.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 693： Radical proposal

    Chapter 693 Radical Proposal


    Sunday, 10:30 a.m., Washington, D.C., underground prison in the FBI headquarters building.


    ��Conservatives think radicals are too conservative, radicals think conservatives are too radical����


    ??Beside the interrogation table, Mona wrote this sentence in a notebook with a confused expression on her face. She turned to look at Michelle and Lacey, whose eyes were also full of confusion.


    Luo An, who was next to him, was confused at first, but he soon had guesses and ideas in his mind. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the glass window and said:


    ��Explain it carefully.��


    ��If there��s anything easy to explain, it��s just the literal meaning.��


    King Baal''s hands were firmly locked on the metal chair. He crossed his legs and took a deep look at Luo An, his eyes full of complexity.


    ??After being pushed out of the hospital and learning that Luo An''s true identity was the leader of an FBI investigation team, King Barr just wanted to curse.


    ??The person he was scolding was not Luo An, but the information collection department of the "Skull Flower" killer organization.


    In the questioning eyes of several people, King Baal spread his hands and replied:


    ��Sorry, I don��t know.��


    Lacie raised her eyebrows:


    ��It��s really a bit radical.��


    ��I don��t know much about the high-level affairs of ��Skull Flower��. Most of them I heard from my friends.


    Mona raised her head and asked:


    What the radicals mean is to expand the scale of "Skull Flower", increase the number of customer service centers, and set up branch bases in the federation, other countries, and even around the world to provide services to killers and customers. "


    ??But as a first-level inferior guy, and with the trick he had just used to force the triplets to attack him, King Barr felt that as the highest first-level killer, he could probably complete the counterattack in a short time with the help of adrenaline.


    After the previous bank robbery in Los Angeles, the name Luo An-Greenwood attracted the attention of "Skull Flower". After collecting some information, Luo An was given a level of Level 2 or higher.


    During the battle of King Baal, he guessed that the man in the black hood might be a member of the federal government, and guessed one of the possibilities of the identity of Roan Greenwood.


    "Wow."


    ?Luo An asked:


    ��So what��s going on with conservatives?��


    Mona, Lacey and Michelle all looked at King Baal after hearing this. According to normal logic, conservatives opposed the radicals'' proposals and would naturally put forward their own plans.


    ??As Luo An continued to solve cases and get promoted later, the positioning of "Skull Flower" for Luo An also continued to upgrade, but in the end he was only promoted to the lower level of the first level.


    Roan was not interested in King Baal��s complicated mood. He knocked on the glass window and said in a solemn voice:


    ��Explain the difference between conservatives and radicals, and what each thinks.��


    Because the information on many cases handled by Luo An is relatively confidential, "Skull Flower" did not spend much energy on Luo An.


    ?King Baal leaned back, changed into a more comfortable position, and said:


    ��Conservatives believe that this plan is time-consuming, requires a lot of money, and is troublesome to break into local criminal organizations around the world, so they oppose the proposal.��


    Then King Baal picked up the three-edged thorn and started to charge...and then was beaten by Luo An and vomited blood and fainted.


    Michelle next to her frowned, thinking that if there were "skull flower" killer organizations in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and even parts of Asia in the future, she suddenly shuddered in her heart.


    ? King Bal was silent for a moment and introduced:


    ��What about the conservative plan?��


    ��I don��t know the specific content. My friends didn��t tell me and I didn��t ask.��


    ?Mona and Lacey looked at each other and saw the displeasure in the other''s eyes.


    ?Perceiving that the other party was not telling lies, Luo An changed the topic and asked:


    ��Blue-Eyed Roy��s goal is to seek revenge and find out the truth. You and the triplets and others have been hunting them down. Which party do you belong to? Radical or conservative?��


    ��I��m not doing anything, I��m just trying to make money.��


    Speaking of this, King Baal��s eyes flashed with an imperceptible loneliness, and he said:


    "I am already in my forties and will soon turn fifty. The killer profession is no longer suitable for me. Some time ago, some of our front-line killers received a secret message and successfully arrested and killed Blue-Eyed Roy and others. Each head was worth ten million dollars, so we all started hunting them down.��


    ��Ten million dollars?!��


    ??Mona looked stern, and Lacey and Michelle''s expressions changed slightly. The value is so high, which shows that Blue-Eyed Roy and others definitely have something very important to the mastermind behind the scenes.


    ??But when Blue-Eyed Roy was interrogated just now, he didn''t seem to get anything very valuable... Mona and the three looked at each other and fell into deep thought.


    Luo An thought for a moment and asked:


    ��Do you know the identity of the senior executive of ��Skull Flower��?��


    ��I don��t know, but I know someone who knows.��


    ?At the critical moment, King Baal decisively chose to sell out.


    If you are caught in the rain, you must remove other people��s umbrellas.


    ??Luo An waved his hand and asked Mona and the others to write down the following information. After interrogating for a while, after confirming that there was no other useful information, Luo An called someone to take King Baal away.


    ��By the way, I have a personal question that I would like to ask.��


    Before King Baal was taken away from the interrogation room, Luo An suddenly thought of something, knocked on the glass, and asked with a smile:


    ��If you earn that ten million, have you figured out how to spend it?


    ?Like in the movie, find a place to open a bar or coffee shop, then marry a wife and have children for the rest of your life? "


    ?Mona looked at Luo An with some doubts. Lacey and Michelle also looked puzzled and didn''t understand what Luo An''s question meant.


    ��I did have that thought.��


    ?King Baal smiled. He didn��t mind answering such questions. He nodded in agreement with Luo An��s guess and added:


    ��But to be honest, ten million is still too little. Even if you have saved up in the first half of your life, it is not a good thing to just sit back and have nothing.


    So I plan to invest this money in the stock market and wait for the appreciation of federal real estate to make money. "


    ����


    King Baal was taken away, and Luo An''s eyelids twitched.


    ? It is now June 2006, and the wave of the subprime mortgage crisis has begun to blow. Buying federal real estate at this time is almost the same as what it was in 1949.


    ??The door to the interrogation room was closed. Mona patted Luo An��s arm and asked doubtfully:


    ��What��s wrong with you? There��s something wrong with your expression and you feel uncomfortable?��


    ��No, no, thank you for your concern.��


    Luo An, who came back to his senses, smiled and walked out and said:


    ��To be honest, although I took King Baal to prison, he should actually thank me.��


    ??In this magical country called the Federation, it is better to be in jail than to be bankrupt.


    ��?��x3


    The women looked puzzled and did not understand Luo An��s joke. Luo An did not explain, but changed the subject:


    "Have you found the person who King Baal just provided who knows the identity of the high-ranking "Skull Flower"?"


    ��Already found.��


    ?Mona nodded, opened her laptop, and introduced:


    ��The FBI��s internal database shows that this guy��s identity is one of the managers of a private equity fund.��


    ��Good.��


    Pressing the button to close the elevator, Luo An smiled and said:


    ��Bring this manager back, I want to have a chat with him.��


    ��OK!��


    ??It didn''t take long to arrest the private equity fund manager, and Luo An didn''t take action. Winslow and Lacey led the team to bring him to Washington.


    ? Knowing the goals of Luo An and others, the manager decisively chose the person who knows current affairs as Junjie and revealed all the information he knew.


    Looking at the high-level information about "Skull Flower" provided by this "good teammate", Luo An nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand:


    "Arrests!"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 694： Arrested, Luo An threatened

    Chapter 694 Arrested, Luo An was threatened


    Wednesday, Northeastern Commonwealth, Pennsylvania.


    As one of the 13 states of the Confederation, Pennsylvania has been known for its religious freedom and political democracy since its establishment, and has a great influence in North America.


    ? And because many important chapters in the short history of the Union were written in Pennsylvania, the state is located in the middle of the 13 states and played a backbone role in the early days of the Union''s independence, so it is known as the "Keystone State".


    ?At ten o''clock in the morning, Luo An led a special investigation team and arrived in Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania.


    In the eight-seater MPV that was moving forward quickly, Mona held a laptop and showed the photo of an old white man to everyone and introduced:


    ��Based on the information given by the manager and the information in the FBI��s internal database, we can confirm that this rich man named Chris Modi is the founder of the ��Skull Flower�� killer organization.��


    Beside Mona, NSA female agent Elise typed on the keyboard a few times and then introduced:


    ��Modi Norman is 62 years old. The NSA database shows that he immigrated to the Federation.


    When he was young, he made his first fortune by buying and selling second-hand cars. Later he established a company and his business spread across the federation. His wife died young and he only had one daughter.


    ?From a literal point of view, there is nothing wrong with Modi-Norman, but his economic situation is a bit too normal. This person is definitely not simple. "


    ??Mona rolled her eyes slightly, Lacey chuckled when she saw this scene, and Michelle reached out and patted her gently a few times.


    ��Good, let them go now!��


    They may have been physically solved by humans, I can''t find anything. "


    ��Michelle, how is the local SWAT situation?��


    ��Turn left at the intersection ahead, let��s go directly to Modi��s home!��


    ? No matter how powerful a hacker is, he still needs power and network cables. Physical means are always the most effective and the most helpless method for Mona.


    Winslow nodded heavily, the red light turned green, and the MPV immediately turned left and moved forward quickly.


    After briefly introducing his identity and changing his equipment, Luo An turned to look at Mona who was sitting in the car and typing on the keyboard quickly, frowning:


    ��Sorry, Luo An, there is a problem with the surveillance in this area.


    Luo An, who was in the passenger seat, nodded. When he heard "Modi" in his name, he knew that the other party was definitely not simple, and asked loudly:


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he turned around and ordered:


    "no problem!"


    "clear!"


    Michelle immediately replied:


    ��OK.��


    Roan patted Winslow who was driving and said:


    This is a villa that covers a very large area. In addition to the large house in the center, it is surrounded by a large area of ??lawns, trees, and even a swimming pool that is almost as big as the villa.


    "Winslow, Lacey, you lead a team to surround from the left, I will lead a team to surround from the right, move quickly, if there is resistance, kill them directly!"


    ?Ten minutes later, on the outskirts of a villa area on the outskirts of Harrisburg, the MPV successfully merged with two SWAT personnel carriers.


    ��You can start taking action at any time!��


    ��Already contacted!��


    ?A group of agents and SWAT team members responded in unison, formulated an action plan, and immediately began to move quickly towards the target villa.


    ?The group arrived at the edge of the villa. Luo An''s face changed as he was advancing, and he raised his fist fiercely to signal everyone to stop.


    The SWAT team members quickly stopped moving forward and carefully observed the surrounding heights, but found nothing. They all looked at Luo An in confusion.


    ??Luo An took a few steps forward carefully, bent down and pushed aside the bushes outside the villa, and a thin silk thread appeared in front of the SWAT team members.


    A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the SWAT team members, and they looked at Luo An in astonishment. Luo An carefully bypassed the booby trap at the end of the silk thread, pressed the communicator, and whispered:


    ��Lessie, Winslow, proceed carefully over there, there are booby traps around the villa.��


    "clear!"


    Winslow and Lacey on the other side of the villa looked stern. They slowed down their progress and carefully observed the shrubs. Sure enough, they found several booby traps.


    ��Fortunately����


    ?Winslow, Lacey and all the SWAT team members all breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and saw the joy in each other''s eyes.


    The teams from both sides quickly surrounded the villa, and after confirming that they had arrived at the designated location, Luo An immediately pressed the communicator and ordered:


    "start to act!"


    After the words fell and no one answered, the two SWAT teams rushed out together. The first member held up an anti-explosion shield, followed by a group of members behind them, moving quickly towards the big central house. ��FBI!��


    ��FBI! OpenTheDoor!��


    �O


    "Raise your hand!"


    ��Put down your arms! Put down your arms!��


    Opening the door of the villa, the SWAT team members immediately saw several guys holding pistols in the living room.


    ?While shouting a warning, seeing that the opponent was still preparing to shoot, the SWAT team members immediately pulled the trigger without hesitation.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ��Put your hands up! Put your hands up!��


    ��Put down your weapons! Get down on the ground!��


    ? Gunshots, shouts, begging for mercy and screams instantly echoed through the first floor of the villa. Luo An ignored those people, waved his hands and quickly followed the other SWAT team members to the second and third floors.


    ?Every room on the second floor was empty. Suddenly gunshots were heard on the third floor, and the loudspeaker of the SWAT team members also sounded from the contact:


    ��There is an enemy on the third floor! The enemy fired! Be careful! Be careful!��


    ?Winslow and Lacey looked stern and hurried up the stairs.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    As soon as they reached the top of the stairs, a burst of bullets suddenly fired. Winslow, Lacey and several SWAT members quickly turned around to avoid it.


    Luo An, who was following behind, looked calm. He patted Winslow''s thigh and said calmly:


    "excuse me."


    Winslow was stunned for a moment and quickly gave way. Luo An took out two shock bombs from his lower back and threw them directly towards the wall diagonally opposite.


    The two shock bombs hit the wall and bounced off, flying in a graceful arc towards the location where the gunfire came from.


    �O��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������IAL


    The next second, the white light flashed with a deafening sound, and the fierce gunfire stopped instantly. Winslow and Lacey grinned, quickly got up and led the SWAT team members to rush to the innermost room.


    "do not move!"


    "lay down your weapon!"


    ��Get down! Get down!��


    Luo An followed him and walked into the room slowly. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a strong smell of blood.


    ? Turning his head in the direction of the smell of blood, he saw an old white man in a high-end suit lying in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to his eyebrows and eyes wide open.


    The face of the old white man was none other than Maudie Norman, but the person who killed him was not the SWAT team. Luo An frowned slightly and turned to look at the SWAT team members standing aside. Under them were three men who were struggling. one girl.


    Luo An waved his hand, and three men and one woman were immediately pulled up from the ground by the SWAT team. The woman among them glared at Luo An and said in a deep voice:


    ��Let me go.��


    ?Luo An smiled and asked:


    "Who are you?"


    ��My name is Sophia Norman.��


    Luo An suddenly realized that when introduced by NSA female agent Elise, she said that Modi-Norman��s wife died young and had not married for many years. He only had one daughter.


    ?That daughter��s name is Sophia Norman.


    Just as Luo An was about to continue talking, he suddenly noticed a pistol on the ground beside him. Lacey picked up the pistol and gave it to Luo An, whispering:


    ��I just snatched it from this woman��s hand.��


    ??Luo An nodded, checked the pistol carefully, then looked back at the body between Maudie Norman''s eyebrows, and suddenly grinned.


    Winslow and Lacey next to them also noticed Luo An��s movements. After observing carefully for a few seconds, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked at Sophia in surprise:


    ��You killed your father?!��


    ?Sofia snorted coldly and did not answer. She looked at Luo An and repeated:


    ��Let me go, or you will die.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 695： A loving father and a filial daughter, the truth behind the case

    Chapter 695: A loving father and a filial daughter, the truth of the case


    Sophite Norman''s threat made Winslow''s face turn cold instantly, while Lacey turned to look at Roan.


    ?Sophia Norman stared at Luo An, who smiled, waved his hand and said:


    "take away!"


    "you��"


    ?Sofia Norman had no time to say anything, and was escorted down by the SWAT team members. Lacey came to Roan''s side and whispered:


    ��Luo An, what Sophia just said...��


    "It doesn''t matter."


    Luo An looked calm and began to check the situation in the room:


    ��There are many people who threaten me, and this Sophia is not among them.��


    Lacie: ������


    ??Roan is indeed not panicking. Politically, he has the vice president''s executive order in his hand. He has Mr. Clement, the FBI director behind him, and his personal safety is protected by "emotional perception".


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Veranith narrowed her eyes slightly:


    "who is it?"


    "I remember you told me before that this Sophia Norman is the daughter of Modi Norman, the founder of the "Skull Flower" organization?"


    Veranith opened the door and walked into the conference room. When she saw Luo An, the expressionless expression on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a faint smile:


    ��Good morning, Roan.��


    "But "Nathanel" is just a false identity. According to our investigation, his real identity is a woman named Sophia Norman."


    Veranith nodded, sat down casually, and said directly without any nonsense:


    "You called me yesterday and said that the case has been solved, but the situation behind it is a bit complicated and troublesome. What exactly happened?"


    The next day, Veranith, who was wearing a dark blue women''s suit, waist-length trousers that showed off her long legs, sharp makeup on her face, and a deadpan look that made people feel very untouchable, stepped out of the elevator and went straight to the special project Investigation team office area.


    ��The name in the records is Nathanael.��


    Veranith was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Luo An:


    ����


    "for example?"


    ��For example, within the ��Skull Flower�� killer organization, there is information on a small number of employers who have placed orders.


    "It doesn''t matter."


    It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Luo An does not do anything major like assassinating the federal president, other situations will be fine. Even if he cannot be defeated, he still has a certain amount of room for mediation and time to escape.


    ��Roan, I found something in this villa.��


    Luo An looked at Michelle who was standing aside. Michelle stood up immediately and introduced:


    Michelle pushed the laptop to Veranith and said:


    And these employers... Luan, I think things might be getting into trouble. "


    "Sir, after the operation ended yesterday, we found some information in that villa, including the person behind the order to hire the killer "Blue Eyes Roy" to kill the former director of the NSA."


    Lacey didn��t know what Luo An was thinking, and she was still a little worried. Before she could speak, the communicator suddenly rang, and Mona��s nervous voice came out:


    ?In the conference room, Luo An was leading Mona, Lacey and Michelle to process documents. When he saw Veranith, he stood up with a smile:


    ��Good morning, sir, I��m sorry, I didn��t pay attention to the time.��


    Luo An nodded and added:


    ��She was very filial and sent her father to **** with her own hands.��


    Even in a federation with simple folk customs and outstanding people, this kind of killing of a father is rare.


    ??Veriness had more doubts in her mind. She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:


    ��Tell me the whole situation in detail.��


    ??Luo An nodded, took the document handed over by Mona and walked to the front. He first introduced the two factions of the "Skull Flower" killer organization, as well as the radical faction''s idea of ??establishing sub-bases around the world.


    Veranith��s eyes moved and she asked:


    ��Is Sophia-Norman a radical?��


    ��No, Sofia highly admires the first rule of the ��Skull Flower�� Killer Rules:


    ?Complete tasks for those who pay money - no partiality, nationality, belief, and identity are not important; focus on principles, everyone has the right to claim the lives of others, and no one has the right to judge right or wrong.


    So she is a conservative, and her father, Modi Norman, is a radical. "


    Luo An explained:


    ��Sofia feels that her father��s plan consumes too much money and time. In addition, the ��Skull Flower�� is just a platform and has no absolute binding force on the killers, so she firmly opposes it.


    In her plan, she felt that it was not necessary to expand the scale of ��Skull Flower��. Instead, she needed to make the killer platform of ��Skull Flower�� bigger and stronger, and achieve formalization, industrialization, and standardized management and operation. Manage the killers uniformly, issue unified orders, let everyone know about the "Skull Flower", give everyone the power to pay money to claim the lives of others, make everyone equal, and deeply implement the freedom and democracy promoted by the Federation. "


    ����


    The meeting room was silent. Veranith''s eyelids were twitching, and Mona and Lacey''s mouths were also twitching. Even though they had known this before, they were still very... speechless after hearing it again.


    ?Although Sophia��s idea seems outrageous at first glance, it is indeed outrageous when you think about it carefully.


    But Luo An was very calm, and he could understand the reason for the other party''s thoughts.


    ?Since he was a child, he has been well-fed and well-fed, and has been overwhelmed by the affluent life. He can only focus on eating, drinking, having fun and doing whatever he wants.


    The true meaning behind the words "liberal democracy" is well understood by everyone in the conference room who climbed up from the bottom.


    ?Sofia, who has no worries about food and clothing, has never experienced the suffering of the people at the bottom. She only thinks that many things should be taken for granted. Poverty is your own problem because you don��t work hard. She firmly believes in the idea of ??freedom and democracy.


    ??Although Veranith also has a family background, her identity as a woman has caused her to encounter many setbacks, and she has also seen the meaning behind liberal democracy.


    Suppressing the thoughts in her heart, Veranith asked:


    ��Sophia killed her father to seek power and usurp the throne?��


    ��This is one of the reasons.��


    ??Luo An nodded, opened Mona''s notebook, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Veranith, saying:


    ��While handling the body of Modi-Norman, the Trace Inspection Section accidentally discovered that his DNA matched the DAN of an NSA agent who was reported missing and dead during a certain NSA mission 32 years ago.


    We cannot find out what happened in the NSA mission thirty-two years ago, but the information we can find shows that the former director of the NSA was also a participant in that mission.


    ?After that mission, Modi-Norman changed his identity, and his wife also died of "cancer".


    Sofia was unable to convince her father to carry out her plan and became murderous.


    ? She pretended to be a fake identity, hired a killer from "Skull Flower", and killed the former director of NSA to avenge her mother.


    ?At the same time, he tried to use this matter to attract the attention of the NSA and use the NSA''s hand to attack his father''s power in the "Skull Flower".


    "Immortal Kyle", "Redback Spider Brenna", themselves and their friends, have all carried out similar killing missions, and the targets of the killed missions were also members of various departments of the federal government.


    ??The people behind these killing missions were all Sophia. They were all trying to attract the attention of the federal department and use the help of others to weaken her father''s power in the "Skull Flower" and eventually seize power. "


    Veranith frowned slightly:


    ��Didn��t Maudie-Norman notice what his daughter was doing?��


    ��He noticed and reacted.��


    Roan closed the folder. Modi-Norman not only imprisoned Sophia, but also spent a lot of money to reward King Barr and others, asking them to kill Blue Eyes Roy, the killers who killed members of the federal government.


    Three customer service centers were destroyed, and the war between Blue-Eyed Roy and others was the symptom of this matter.


    Unlike Sophia, Modi-Norman is very clear about the bottom line at the top of the federal government and the real power of the state machine.


    ??So he just wants to send the heads of these killers out quickly, contact some high-level officials, overcome this hurdle, so that the "Skull Flower" organization can continue to exist, and then give a good education to Sophia, his incompetent daughter.


    ??But Modi-Norman ignored one thing. The Killer''s Law was originally a clause he made to control those killers conveniently, and it was a weapon in his hand.


    Over time, this weapon completed its mission and became the belief of many killers.


    But Sophia also believed this, and the daughter of the weapon maker also believed in this weapon.


    With the help of her subordinates, Sophia escaped from captivity. Firmly believing in the "impartiality" principle of the first rule of the killer''s law, she arrived at the villa and shot her father, Maudie Norman, in the head.


    ����


    After listening to this story about a loving father and a filial daughter, Veranith''s face twitched and she asked:


    ��How did you find out these things through interrogation?��


    ��Sophia has a good man.��


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    ��It was one of the men we arrested in the villa. He was Sophia��s confidant, but he didn��t want to spend the rest of his life in prison, so he told everything.��


    Verenis nodded and then asked:


    ��What is the trouble you are talking about?��


    ?Luo An handed a photo to Veranith and said in a deep voice:

 Chapter 696： The stars are over the moon, the case is over, it’s a holiday

    Chapter 696: The stars are over the moon, the case is over, it��s a holiday


    Thursday, 10:30 am, meeting room of the special investigation team.


    ?Luo An took out a photo that was the size of a later touch-screen mobile phone and slowly pushed it in front of Veranith.


    The scene in the photo is very simple: a wooden table with two items placed on the left and right.


    The item on the left is an open notebook with some phone numbers on it, followed by some unknown times and dates.


    The item on the right is a photo. The person in the photo is very similar to the person in the White House, but he is much younger. He looks about thirty years old, and the content in the photo is... the stars are shining over the moon.


    Veranith''s eyelids twitched and her face changed instantly. She turned the photo over and put it upside down on the table. She glanced left and right at the people in the conference room. She looked at Luo An with a serious face and asked:


    ��Has anyone seen this photo?��


    ?Mona and Lacey were on the other side of the conference table, far away from each other. Roan shook his head and took a step forward to block Veranith''s sight:


    ��Just me, sir.��


    ?Luo An smiled, sat on the chair and stretched his waist.


    ???Anyway, the direct perpetrator of the murder of the former NSA director, Blue-Eyed Roy, has been caught by the special investigation team. The case has been solved and the credit has been earned. What to do with Sophia Norman in the future is a political matter.


    ��As always, do what you have to do.��


    "This case ends here. I will be responsible for the rest. Your investigation team only needs to complete the routine procedural work. Do you understand?"


    Veranith gave Roan a reassuring look, carefully took the photos and some documents, turned around and quickly left the conference room under Winslow''s protection.


    During yesterday''s operation, Mona only discovered some of the employer information in Sophia''s computer that had placed orders with the "Skull Flower" organization. The photo in Veranith''s hand was found by Luo An when he was sorting out the information later.


    ��Is this Sophia��s trump card?��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    Luo An nodded and whispered:


    ��Sir, be careful.��


    But seeing this photo... Luo An admitted that he was still too young and lacked imagination.


    ��High probability.��


    Hearing Luo An��s words and seeing his serious expression, Veranith breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and still asked seriously:


    ��Luo An, let��s go next����


    ?Mona breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the big stone in her heart.


    ?As for political matters, Mr. Clement is more experienced, and Luo An believes that this big man will protect him and will not treat him badly.


    ?Michelle picked up the document and prepared to continue working. She believed in Luo An. Since Luo An was sure, there would be absolutely no problem.


    ?The door of the conference room was closed. Mona, Michelle and Lacey looked at each other. Although they were a little curious, they all tacitly agreed not to mention the photo, but asked:


    Luo An has heard in the past that when he was young, he was not doing his job properly and acted recklessly, but finally realized his enlightenment. With the hard work of making three advances and three defeats but never giving up, as well as the help of his family background and the president''s father, he rose to the throne.


    ?Knowing that the matter behind it was too involved, Luo An kept a tight grip on the photo, and no one else in the special investigation team had seen it.


    ?Luo An nodded, and out of caution, he added:


    ��Only I have seen the photos, so the numbers in the book have not been investigated yet.��


    Veranith stood up and looked at Luo An with a serious face:


    ??Lacie rolled her eyes and thought for a moment, then walked around the conference table and approached Luo An, smiled and asked in a low voice:


    "By the way, the platform of the "Skull Flower" killer organization was severely damaged by this incident, but those killers still exist. What should these people do?"


    ��Follow the FBI��s rules: integrate the killer��s information, upload it to the FBI information database, and decide whether to issue a wanted warrant based on the situation.��


    Luo An spread his hands:


    ��Killers and superwomen are industries that have existed since the birth of human beings. The former collects money to do harm, while the latter collects money to resist harm. Both are good at taking human lives.


    ?This is a free and democratic federation, there is no way to completely eliminate them, just follow the rules. "


    Lacie: ������


    ?On the other side, Veranith quickly returned to the FBI''s Washington headquarters and went straight to Mr. Clement''s office.


    After learning from the secretary that Mr. Clement was not in the office and having a meeting with the director, Veranith immediately changed her goal and went straight to the FBI director''s office.


    Inside the FBI Director''s office, Robert is discussing some situations with Mr. Clement.


    ?At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Before Director Robert could speak, Veranith opened the door and walked in.


    FBI Director Robert frowned. Seeing that the person who came was Veranith, he looked at Mr. Clement calmly.


    Mr. Clement narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew Veranith��s character and habits. He rarely saw Veranith panicked and rude, so he asked in a solemn voice:


    "what happened?"


    ��It��s the case of the former NSA director.��


    ?Veriness closed the door and spoke solemnly:


    ��This case has been solved by the leader of the special investigation team, Roan Greenwood, and the murderer and the mastermind behind the scenes have been caught.��


    Director Robert''s eyes suddenly lit up and his face beamed with joy. Ever since he met Luo An, Luo An had never let him down. It was indeed the right decision for him to hand over this case to Luo An.


    ?In the eyes of Director Robert, Roan Greenwood has excellent case-handling abilities, extremely high level of investigation, good political thinking, and strong physical fitness. He is an almost perfect leader of the special investigation team.


    ?The only shortcoming is that Roan is a member of Clement''s staff, and his words and deeds have no intention or thought of changing the family.


    ?This makes FBI Director Robert happy and helpless. He is happy because Luo An did not betray because of temptation, and loyalty is priceless; but he is helpless because loyalty also means that it is difficult for him to poach Luo An into his hands.


    ?However, during this period, Director Robert and Mr. Clement have the same goals and are temporarily in the same camp. The issue of Roan''s camp can be temporarily ignored.


    Suppressing the thoughts in his mind for the time being, Director Robert put away the smile on his face and asked:


    ��Now that the case has been solved, what are the remaining problems?��


    Veranith didn''t say anything, she just took the photo out of her bag and slowly put it on the director''s desk.


    ��!��


    Seeing the photo in the photo, Director Robert''s pupils shrank, his brows furrowed and he turned to Veranith:


    ��Where did Luo An get it? Has anyone else seen this photo?��


    After listening to Veranith''s explanation of the case and the fact that only Luo An himself had seen the photo, Director Robert relaxed his brows and breathed a sigh of relief.


    Mr. Clement looked at the content in the photo and fell silent. Suddenly he narrowed his eyes and said:


    "Verenis, you can leave now. The special investigation team will rest starting tomorrow."


    Veranis was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look on her face. Mr. Clement did not explain. Robert, the director next to him, blinked and continued:


    ��Verenis, lead the team yourself and lead the people to deal with the follow-up work of Sophia.


    ? Luo An and his special investigation team are temporarily on vacation, and the end of the vacation is to be determined. "


    Seeing that FBI Director Robert and Mr. Clement reached a consensus so quickly, Veranith instantly understood that the vacation they mentioned was not an exile, but a kind of protection for Luo An. There were too many complications behind this matter. Let Luo An avoid this period of time first.


    ��Yes, sir.��


    Determined that there was no harm to Roan, Veranith nodded and left the office. Director Robert and Mr. Clement began to discuss the photo in a low voice.


    On the other side, in the office of the leader of the special investigation team, Luo An and Mona were answering the phone together.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 697： MI6，Talk

    Chapter 697 MI6, Talk


    Special investigation team, team leader��s office.


    ��Good morning, Mona.��


    ??The male voice on the other end of the phone was very familiar. It was Mona''s father, Jawali.


    "Um."


    Facing her father��s amiable tone, Mona casually accepted it as an answer and asked directly:


    ��How is your investigation going?��


    ??The investigation Mona was talking about was based on what Caroline called before and said that a woman was looking for the "Brian" fake identity that Roan used when he was pretending to be a woman.


    ?Fearing that the original incident would be exposed and Luo An��s true identity would be revealed and cause trouble, Mona finally asked Jawali to spend $500,000 to investigate the woman��s identity and purpose.


    ����


    ?Hearing that Mona did not ask whether she had been tired or how she was feeling, but her whole heart was focused on Luo An, Jawali on the other end of the phone twitched his face and took a long puff of his cigar.


    ��MI6 did not discover that ��Brian�� was Roan.


    "It has been found out that the woman who is looking for "Brian" is indeed a descendant of an old aristocrat in the British Empire."


    Hearing Luo An��s voice comforting Mona, Jawali��s eyelids twitched, he took another long puff of his cigar and said:


    ??Mona��s eyes lit up, she looked at Luo An who was standing next to her making coffee, and smiled:


    ��You mean, that woman is okay?��


    ?According to the investigation, the female aristocrat was looking for "Brian", but she actually planned to attract him into MI6 and make "Brian" an agent of MI6. "


    Luo An walked over slowly, put his arms around Mona and held her in his arms. He handed her the coffee and said with a smile:


    ??It can only be said that the senior officials of the British Empire do treat everyone equally in terms of being a non-human being, and they will never cheat you just because you are a national of the British Empire.


    After exhaling a long breath of smoke, Jawali calmed down a little and said:


    You should be familiar with the department you work in, Military Intelligence, Section 6, MI6 for short. "


    One word made the smile on Mona��s face freeze instantly, and Jawali continued:


    ?Some low-level agents can''t even afford wages, but the top brass live a wealthy life with high subsidies and pensions.


    ?Mona��s throat rolled and her face changed, her eyes filled with nervousness, and she asked hurriedly:


    Hearing what Jawali said, Luo An was a little surprised, and Mona was even more surprised:


    ��MI6��s agent selection system is so rough? Does it not require training and assessment, but directly recruits people from society?��


    ��No.��


    "What do you mean? MI6 found out that Roan is Brian?"


    After taking a sip of the coffee Luo An made for herself, Mona, who was leaning in Luo An''s arms, became less nervous.


    ��What?!��


    ��Don��t be nervous, relax.��


    ?In addition, she secretly worked in the British Imperial Government.


    ��That woman��s aristocratic status is no problem, but she has more than just a status as a descendant of a noble.


    ? Luo An is not actually worried about the British Empire''s MI6. 007 in the movie is handsome and powerful, but in reality, some technical experts of MI6 can be poached by companies such as Microsoft and Google.


    ��Under normal circumstances, recruiting agents does require a series of formal procedures such as assessment and training to prevent traitors from appearing.��


    Jawali on the other end of the phone laughed and said:


    ��But that woman is a noble. You know, some nobles in the British Empire look down and out, but their actual power still exists.


    MI5 and MI6, these spy organizations, have always had nobles, and they have the power to exercise their privileges and recruit recommended spy candidates. "


    ����


    ?Mona covered her forehead speechlessly. The national organization became a battlefield where aristocrats and non-aristocratic people competed for power. She figured out why MI5 and MI6 were becoming more and more useless.


    ?Luo An��s expression was very calm. The British Empire had been able to let the nuclear leak go unchecked for more than ten years. He would not be surprised by anything he did in the future.


    ?But Luo An thought of another thing and asked:


    "Caroline is still doing business in the British Empire. Is she okay?" Hearing Luo An mention Caroline, Jawali suddenly became wary and said in a serious tone:


    ��I have many friends in the British Empire. Caroline��s safety can be guaranteed. If that doesn��t work, she can still escape to the European continent instead of going to the Commonwealth.��


    ??The following supplementary words made Luo An roll his eyes. Mona took her phone back and asked:


    ��Where did this information come from? Is it highly reliable?��


    Hearing the voice turn back to Mona, Jawali��s tone became amiable again and he smiled:


    ��I spent money to buy this information from some agents and management of MI5 and MI6. After many comparisons, there is absolutely no problem.��


    ������x2


    ??There were too many flaws in Jawali''s words. Luo An and Mona were very speechless. They continued chatting for a while, and Mona hung up the phone on her own initiative.


    ??Jawali: ������


    Putting away her phone, Mona took a sip of coffee, looked up at Luo An and said with a smile:


    ��It seems there is no need to worry about this matter.��


    ??Luo An smiled and was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button and Veranith''s voice came. The content was about the special investigation team''s vacation starting today.


    "Have a holiday?"


    ?Luo An hung up the phone, Mona��s eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly:


    ��How long will it last?��


    ?? Luo An��s eyes flickered. Veranis on the other end of the phone didn��t say the specific time, or Veranis didn��t know. Considering the situation behind the photo, Luo An simply estimated the time and said with a smile:


    ��Let��s do it according to one month��s time first.��


    "marvelous!"


    ??Mona��s face was full of excitement, and she quickly walked towards the office area outside with her coffee cup in hand:


    ��I will tell them the good news right now.��


    ��OK.��


    ?The door closed and Luo An sat back in the office chair. He stretched himself out and turned on the computer. A new email popped up. When he opened it to see the content of the email, the corners of Luo An''s mouth suddenly raised.


    There is not a lot of text in the email, but what attracts the most attention is undoubtedly the 7-digit number in the lower right corner at the end of the email: a total of US$2,734,900.


    ?These more than two million US dollars were the harvest of the security company after the military asked Luo An to help deal with the case of the missing nuclear warhead.


    ??The money was essentially hush money. The military hoped that the matter would end here, and Luo An didn''t want to have any conflicts with the federal military, so he agreed.


    After taking over the security company, Luo An had no energy or time, so it was naturally impossible to continue running the business, so he simply called John Rodriguez, the president of the California Muller Group in "The Case of the Missing Girl in the Villa Area" (Chapter 343) Telephone.


    CEO John promised repeatedly and arranged the sale of the security company. Finally, he sold the security company at a price that was 10% higher than the market price. The money was transferred into the account provided by Luo An today.


    ��Another two million����


    Close the computer page and read the text message on his mobile phone from the bank. Luo An smiled and began to think about how to use the money next.


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    ?The afternoon passed in the blink of an eye, and Luo An was typing on the keyboard and playing games... While investigating the impact of games on work, there was a sudden knock on the door of the team leader''s office. Mona opened the door and stuck her head in:


    ��Luo An, it��s time to get off work.��


    ??Luo An looked at the clock and found that it was indeed time to get off work. He quit the game and walked out of the office. He clapped his hands and smiled at the agents in the office area:


    ��Everyone, the holiday starts tomorrow. It doesn��t matter if you have some rest and fun, but you must make sure your phone is open!��


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    ?Winslow, Lacey and Michelle agreed together, and after everyone agreed to go to the hospital to visit Chenelle tomorrow, they left the building one after another.


    Driving back to the villa, Luo An was about to go upstairs to change clothes, when Mona suddenly reached out and held him:


    ��Roan, Weneedtotalk. (We need to talk)��


    ����


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 698： Mona fights Roan

    Chapter 698 Mona fights Luo An


    Thursday, 6:30 pm, a three-story villa in northwest Washington, DC.


    ��Weneedtotalk����


    In the living room, Luo An��s lips twitched when he heard these words, almost thinking that he had entered the world of The Flash by mistake.


    Suppressing the messy thoughts, Luo An asked:


    ��What to talk about?��


    Mona put on her slippers. She pulled Luo An to the center of the living room and pushed him onto the sofa. She stood in front of the sofa, folded her arms around her chest and looked down at Luo An, and said with a serious face:


    ��Let��s talk about my task assignment and why I��m always at the rear recently.��


    ??Mona said that recently she has mostly been organizing and delivering information, and has rarely been on the front line.


    ?Listening to Mona talking about work, the expression on Luo An''s face became very serious, and he said seriously:


    ??Mona''s abilities are mainly on the computer. She has collected more than 60% of the information sources for most cases. She sits in the center and coordinates information. She is the brain of everyone, which is the role she should have.


    ��Mona, a team cannot be all raiders, it must have support and logistics.


    There were not many ingredients left in the villa, and it was not suitable to eat too much for dinner, so Luo An simply made some steak, lamb chops, fried chicken, toast, grilled sausages, fried pancakes, fried eggs, waffles and Italian noodle.


    At that time, Luo An could only choose to use women as men and men as cattle and horses.


    In addition to her excellent fighting skills, Chenelle��s interrogation skills are also among the best in our investigation team, so she interrogates prisoners with me most of the time.


    ��I just feel that I have been sitting in the office recently, and my physical fitness and the fighting skills and marksmanship developed in the previous agent training have begun to decline.��


    ����


    ??As far as task distribution is concerned, Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey have not had any dissatisfaction. Luo An��s plan maximizes the abilities and characteristics of each member, and the later rewards are also distributed fairly.


    ?And Michelle, her strongest ability is not in the front line, but in the logistics of processing documents, handling procedural work, and assisting all parties. She goes out to the field less frequently than you. "


    ??It would be a waste of talent if Luo An asked her to go out and fight the suspect.


    ??Luo An smiled and ignored Mona''s last words. They went upstairs to the room to change clothes, and then started making dinner.


    ??The people in the cooking class of a certain eastern country are all absolute elites. Michelle, who handles the rear of the special investigation team in an orderly manner, plays a role more like a housekeeper.


    After listening to Luo An��s work arrangement ideas, Mona slowly lowered her hands around her chest. The serious expression on her face disappeared, replaced by a touch of embarrassment, and she pouted and whispered:


    ��If your fighting skills and marksmanship have declined, you can find time to practice them.��


    ??Mona��s eyes widened and her eyebrows stood up. She pushed Luo An away and walked towards the stairs to change clothes. She snorted coldly:


    ��After dinner later, let��s go to the gym to compete. I want to practice my fighting skills. You can��t hold back!��


    ??In the past, when I took Mona on field trips, New York''s No. 5 Investigation Team and Los Angeles'' Special Investigation Team were short of manpower.


    It is no exaggeration to say that if Lacey is allowed to handle Michelle''s work, the logistics support of the special investigation team will immediately collapse. Michelle''s work is of great credit and cannot be seen, but it is indispensable.


    ?Winslow is second only to me in strength. Once there is an arrest, I will let him lead another action team.


    Needless to say, Lacey''s disguise ability and field information investigation ability, she can always get information from all kinds of weird channels.


    ?Michelle doesn��t seem to have much work on the surface, but anyone who has done things on the home front knows how complicated logistical support work is.


    ??Luo An smiled, stood up, hugged Mona into his arms, and whispered in her ear:


    ��As for your physical fitness, believe me, I know yourself better than you do, and there is absolutely no decline.��


    Looking at the pile of food on the table, Mona��s mouth twitched:


    ��Luo An, what are you doing?��


    ��It��s not what you said just now, let��s practice fighting together after dinner.��


    Luo An poured a glass of milk for Mona and said with a smile:


    ��If you don��t eat more, you won��t have the energy to exercise.��


    ??Mona glanced at Luo An suspiciously and slowly sat on the chair. She felt that what Luo An said made sense, but she felt that something was not right.


    ??However, Luo An definitely did not poison the dinner, Mona was sure of this, so the two of them chatted and enjoyed the dinner.


    ??It was Luo An who cooked, and Mona was the one who washed the dishes after the meal. When everything was over, the two of them went for a walk on the lawn outside the villa as usual.


    ? Digesting the food well, at eight o''clock in the evening, Luo An and Mona changed into sportswear and walked into the gym on the corner of the first floor of the villa. ��Throw away all these things sooner or later.��


    ??Seeing the grand piano and drum set covered with cloth in the corner of the room, Mona muttered unhappily, then looked up at Luo An and jumped twice on the spot:


    ��Are you ready?��


    ?At this time, Mona was wearing a gray tight-fitting sportswear, with a curved front and back that was very eye-catching. Protective equipment was tied to her knees and elbows, and she had two red gloves on her hands. She looked eager to try.


    ??Luo An was like a sparring partner in the gym, wearing protective gear on his head, wrists, thighs, sides, etc. He bumped his boxing gloves and said with a smile:


    "bring it on."


    ��That��s it!��


    ?Mona shouted loudly, moved quickly in front of Luo An, and swept him with a whip leg.


    Bang!


    ??A deafening muffled sound exploded in the room, and Luo An... stood there without moving at all.


    ?Mona was stunned for a moment:


    ��What��s going on with you?��


    ��It��s not me, it��s you.��


    ?Luo An smiled, shook his gloves in a defensive posture, and said:


    ��Your strength is getting weaker and weaker, you really should exercise.��


    (#�� plate��)


    ??Mona bit her silver teeth lightly, and the face that used to make her feel relaxed and happy when she saw it suddenly made her feel very unhappy, and she punched Luo An in the stomach.


    I didn��t slap him in the face, not because I was willing to do it, but because I was afraid that Luo An would be beaten to tears and have a bad impact.


    Bang!


    ??Luo An ducked sideways, and Mona''s punch hit the protective measures again. Mona became even more angry when she saw this, waving her fist and pounced on him again.


    For more than half an hour, there were constant muffled sounds in the fitness room.


    ??Except for a few angry punches at the beginning, Mona began to continuously use the fighting methods she learned at the training academy during the agent assessment. There was no fancy fists and kicks, it was all real practice, and she moved towards the goal of knocking Luo An down.


    ??Luo An''s reaction speed and strength were far superior to Mona''s. In addition, he was wearing protective measures. Although he kept defending and not attacking, Mona was still panting from exhaustion in the end. He was unscathed and very calm.


    ��Hu-hu-��


    ??Mona��s face was covered with sweat, and her sportswear was soaked with sweat. She leaned on her hands and knees and looked at the time, waved her hands and said:


    ��That��s it for today, no more fighting.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An, who was barely sweating, smiled and turned around to take off his defensive measures.


    ??Mona''s eyes lit up, she jumped up and grabbed Luo An''s arm. Her whole body twisted quickly on Luo An like a spiritual snake, and her legs directly clamped his head.


    ??Mona had no intention of doing anything to Luo An. She just beat her for a long time and fell down several times, but Luo An always stood up. She was really unhappy and planned to make Luo An fall down too.


    ?This move of double-leg head-twisting is a variation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and is similar to the move used by Black Widow in the comics. The next step is to throw Luan backwards with inertia, knocking Luan down and kneeling on one knee.


    ?The moment her legs successfully clamped Luo An''s head, Mona raised the corners of her mouth, leaned back and twisted her waist into an exaggerated arc...and then froze here.


    ??Luo An took a step back with his right foot to stabilize his body. His head was clamped but protected by protective gear and was not seriously affected. He looked at Mona expressionlessly, and Mona showed an embarrassed smile:


    "just kidding."


    Luo An didn��t say anything, and just carried Mona on his back and walked out of the room.


    ?Mona suddenly looked panicked:


    ��Luo An, what are you going to do?��


    ��What do you think?��


    ?Luo An, who was looking confused, reached out and grabbed Mona''s arm to stop her from escaping. He walked towards the bedroom and said with a smile:


    ��You were the one who beat me just now, and you didn��t follow martial ethics to conduct a sneak attack. Now it��s my turn to beat you!��


    ��!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 699： System Harvest, Winslow’s Invitation

    Chapter 699 System Harvest, Winslow��s Invitation


    Friday, at eleven o''clock at noon, Luo An got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom.


    Turn on the shower, Luo An closed his eyes, and looked at the system page in his mind.


    ? Before going to the fire scene to save people, Luo An used a bottle of [Swift Potion] [Antidote Potion] and [Scuba Potion]


    Roan also drank a bottle of [Strength Potion] and [Stamina Potion] before fighting King Baal and several assassins later.


    The consumption of medicine was a bit high, and he felt a little distressed. However, seeing that the system rated [The Murder Case of the Former Director of the NSA] as excellent, and a total of 10 treasure boxes had been accumulated, Luo An grinned, and the distressed feeling dissipated a bit.


    ??The cutscenes are still in the familiar rough style of insufficient funds. At the end of the playback, 10 treasure boxes are opened with [Stamina Potion x2]


    ��Swift Potion x1��


    ��Sensitive Agent x2��


    ��Strength Potion x2��


    ��Danger Sense Potion x2��


    ��Hemostatic Agent x7��


    ��Swift Potion x9��


    ��Emotional perception�� is the ability that Luo An uses most frequently. He can distinguish the truth and falsehood of the prisoner��s words during interrogation, he can sense other people��s attitudes towards him when chatting, and he can sense danger in advance and avoid it in advance when taking action.


    ��Danger Sense Potion x2��


    Open the system warehouse page, which now contains [Stamina Potion x9]


    ��Featherfall Potion x7��


    ��Sensitive Agent x2��


    This time, two more bottles of [Danger Sense Potion] were prescribed, and Luo An poured them into his stomach without hesitation.


    Luo An��s eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the [Danger Sensing Potion] he had been longing for was opened in the treasure box.


    ? Breathing can be faked, and heartbeat can even be faked briefly, but the loss of brain electrical activity means brain death, which cannot be hidden.


    ��Regeneration Potion x7��


    ��Strength Potion x5��


    Closing his eyes and feeling quietly, Luo An found that the distance of "emotional perception" did not increase, but the intensity seemed to increase.


    After solving various cases before and obtaining and drinking the [Danger Sensing Potion], the detection range of Luo An''s "emotional perception" is about 16.5 meters, which is approximately equivalent to 3.5 A-class cars.


    ��Scuba Potion x2��


    ?So Luo An immediately started thinking and used his "emotional perception" ability to check the enemies around him, and judge whether the enemies were dead or not, and whether they were pretending to be dead.


    ��Antidotex6��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x7��


    ��Scuba Potion x1��


    ?In the process of using "emotional perception", Luo An also discovered that as long as a living person is alive, there must be emotions. Even if he is sleeping or comatose, his brain will produce weak fluctuations uncontrollably.


    In the past, when washing up in the bathroom, Luo An could only perceive Mona''s emotions in the bedroom through the wall, but could not sense the specific emotion.


    ? Luo An has become accustomed to this, which means that when he encounters an enemy, he can locate the enemy through the wall. As for the specific emotion of the enemy, it does not matter.


    This time he drank two newly opened bottles of [Danger Sensing Potion]. Although he was separated by a wall, Luo An still vaguely sensed Mona''s negative emotions such as "shame, anger, unwillingness" and "angry", and he was getting farther and farther away from him. close.


    "Getting closer?"


    Luo An suddenly opened his eyes after putting on his bathrobe. As soon as he turned around, Mona rushed into the bathroom, jumped up and pushed Luo An directly to the ground.


    ??Hand out his hand to turn off the rain button, Luo An lay in the water, looking at Mona sitting on him, with a look of helplessness on his face:


    ��What are you doing?��


    ��What do you think?��


    ?At this time, Mona was only wearing underwear and a Luo An shirt. Her white thighs were very eye-catching.


    Kneeling and sitting on Luo An��s lower abdomen, Mona grinned, revealing her fangs, and asked fiercely:


    ��Did you do it on purpose last night?��


    ?Luo An blinked:


    ��Which posture are you talking about?��


    ��Not this!��


    ??Mona slapped Luo An''s arm hard, widened her eyes and asked:


    "I''m talking about last night''s dinner! Did you cook so much on purpose?" Mona''s appetite is average, but Luo An cooked a little more last night. In order not to waste it, she ate more than before. few.


    The result of eating more is increased physical strength. Mona initially thought that Luo An was doing this to give her more strength to compete in fighting exercises.


    I woke up in bed just now. When I saw the time had reached 11 noon, Mona suddenly found that her time to play poker last night was much more increased than ever.


    She used to lose strength in the middle of the night, but last night the two of them kept tossing until the early hours of the morning...


    Snapped-


    ??Punched Luo An **** the chest, Mona looked down at Luo An and stared at Luo An fiercely:


    ��Say! Did you do it on purpose?��


    ??Luo An blinked. He had never thought of this method before. Mona''s words provided him with an idea. He shook his head and said:


    "no."


    ��Really?��


    ��It��s really not.��


    ??Mona narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Luo An suspiciously. Before she could continue speaking, Luo An suddenly reached out and hugged her thigh, and stood up from the ground.


    Snapped-


    ??Mona was thrown directly onto the sink by Luo An. Under the dim light reflected in the mirror, Mona''s legs were also grabbed by Luo An and clamped to her side. Her eyelids flickered and she raised her head:


    ��Don��t go too far, Luo An.��


    Luo An chuckled:


    ��This morning, you knocked me down indiscriminately. Which one of us is more outrageous?��


    ?Mona hummed softly:


    ��What do you want?��


    "I think��"


    Luo An stared at Mona condescendingly. Mona turned slightly red and turned her eyes unconsciously. Seeing this, Luo An suddenly laughed, let go of Mona''s thigh and walked out of the bathroom, saying:


    ��You��ll make lunch later and wash the dishes.��


    ??Having worked hard all night last night, Luo An still understands the principle of doing more than is good. He has [Stamina Potion] and can continue, but Mona needs to rest.


    At least need to replenish water.


    ����


    ??Seeing Luo An''s back without looking back, Mona''s originally reddish face darkened instantly, and she gritted her teeth and shouted loudly:


    ��Luo An!��


    ?Luo An didn''t respond and hurried back to the bedroom on the far left to change clothes.


    ? Luo An and Mona still sleep in separate rooms as a rule, and each has their own bedroom.


    ?But rules are meant to be broken. The bed in this bedroom is still in place, but Luo An, who has grown legs, has not returned home day and night, and has not been with him for a long time.


    bed:"��"


    Saturday and Sunday were spent quickly having fun with Luo An and Mona.


    On Sunday night, Luo An planned to go to a high-end restaurant with Mona to taste special dishes. While looking for clothes, the two of them suddenly received a call from Winslow, who invited everyone from the special investigation team to his home.


    ??They were all acquaintances, chatting briefly. Roan, Mona, Chenelle, Lacey and Michelle walked into the living room together, and then everyone saw a little boy and a very tall woman in the living room.


    ?It is Winslow''s son Jimmy, and Winslow''s ex-wife Lanita.


    "Good evening."


    "Good evening."


    Lanita hugged Jimmy, smiled and said hello to Luo An, and exchanged a few words. Lanita, Mona and the girls gathered together to chat. Winslow hugged Jimmy and walked to the side to chat with Luo An. .


    While chatting, it was not surprising to Luo An that Winslow had already discussed with Lanita about remarrying.


    ??This kind of thing is normal in the Federation. Luo An didn''t ask too much. When the two were chatting, little Jimmy suddenly raised his head and asked:


    ��Dad, this time you and mom get married, can I attend?��


    Winslow smiled and nodded, and Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked:


    ��Jimmy, why didn��t you attend when Mom and Dad got married for the first time?��


    ?Jimmy blinked:


    ��They didn��t notify me!��


    ? Winslow: ������

 Chapter 700： political correctness, consultant

    Chapter 700 Political Correctness, Consultant


    A week later, a church in Washington, D.C.


    Winslow and Lanita, who were remarried, did not invite too many guests. Except for the special investigation team, they only invited some relatives and friends who had a good relationship and had time to attend. The number was not large, and the church was not even half full.


    Under the auspices of the priest, Winslow and Lanita kissed each other again. Applause broke out in the church, and Jimmy, who was wearing a mini suit, stood aside and clapped vigorously.


    ??The ceremony ended and everyone started chatting and eating. While chatting and laughing, several men and women came to Luo An one after another holding wine glasses.


    ��Hello, Captain Luo An, I am Agent Tony from Investigation Team Three.��


    ��Good afternoon, Team Leader Luo An, I have heard of your name a long time ago. When I saw you today, I found that you are much more handsome than those rumors.��


    ?These people are all friends of Winslow. When they saw Luo An, they came up to say hello and wanted to become familiar with Luo An.


    They all know Winslow''s situation very well. Although Lanita divorced him mainly due to work, financial problems were also inducing factors.


    Winslow''s re-emergence was precisely after joining Luo An''s investigation team. These people knew that it was impossible for them to join Luo An''s investigation team, but it was good to chat more and become familiar with him.


    ��No, I��m not just talking about the piece of paper, but also the wedding.��


    ��Now he has become a big shot in the eyes of others.��


    ??At a corner of the lawn outside the church, Lacey was chatting with someone here. When she saw Luo An walking over, she apologized to the man and leaned in front of Luo An, smiling and saying:


    "I remember that the High Court of Massachusetts has ruled that according to the federal constitution, **** people can form a nominal family and enjoy completely equal marriage rights... You can definitely go to that state to get married."


    ??Lacie shook her head, showed a smile, raised her wine glass and clinked it with Luo An:


    ??Luo An could see what these people were thinking, but the host of today''s event was Winslow. He didn''t want to steal the limelight, so he simply smiled and chatted for a few words and then found an excuse to hide aside.


    Lacie shook her head, she knew more about this than Luo An, and explained:


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Lacey smiled bitterly, took a sip from the wine glass, and whispered:


    ��You know, I��m **** and I can��t get married.��


    ��Massachusetts only allows same-sex couples to register for legal marriage and has this process, but does not support wedding ceremonies.


    When the priest announced that Winslow and Lanita could kiss each other, Roan clapped and glanced around casually, and found that although Lacey was also applauding, the expression on her face was very lonely.


    Lacey not only wants the marriage registration certificate issued by the government, but also wants to invite relatives and friends to the person she likes and hold an honorable wedding like a normal person.


    This incident occurred in 2004, and Massachusetts became the first state in the Commonwealth to allow same-sex legal marriage.


    ??Luo An knew that Lacey and Winslow were comrades-in-arms, colleagues and brothers, and that they and Lanita were purely friends. There were no emotional issues between the three of them, so he needed to understand the reason for Lacey''s loneliness.


    ??Luo An picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He really couldn''t help Lacey with this kind of thing.


    "Feel sorry."


    ?Luo An laughed and said nothing more about this matter, but asked:


    ��At the end of the ceremony, I noticed something wasn��t right about your face. What��s wrong?��


    ��It��s okay, no need to apologize, I should just thank you.��


    ��Congratulations, Luo An.��


    Luo An frowned slightly and whispered:


    So, Massachusetts�� policy is only ��half free��, and the other half may not be fully liberalized until those legislators lack votes. "


    At the moment, in 2006, the trend of "political correctness" has just begun to gain traction, but it has not yet reached the absolute status that later generations would not dare to touch.


    ??As a lesbian, Lacey is still hated by many people, and there are always a lot of gossips about her in the FBI.


    Luo An��s investigation team not only did not discriminate against her, but treated her as a normal person. They even received equal pay for equal work and fair distribution afterwards. The term "equal pay for equal work" sounds natural, but it is an indisputable fact that female federal workers have a lower status than male workers and receive less pay, and the FBI is no exception.


    ??Luo An smiled and clinked wine glasses with Lacey. He had neither good nor bad feelings toward homosexuals as a group. He treated them with a normal heart. As long as it didn''t interfere with his normal life, everything would be fine.


    In addition, in some respects, Lacey��s orientation is also beneficial to the special investigation team.


    Because there are no black people in Luo An��s special investigation team, in a few years this will be absolutely ��politically incorrect��.


    ? Lacey��s **** identity can save a lot of trouble for the special investigation team. After all, she is the first among the LGBTQIATPDXREW+ people.


    While Roan and Lacey were chatting, Michelle suddenly walked over from a distance and whispered:


    ��Luo An, someone is looking for you.��


    "who?"


    ��Verenith.��


    ?Three minutes later, Luo An spotted a familiar car on the side of the road next to the church. He immediately opened the passenger door and got in.


    The person in the driver''s seat is none other than Veranith. She still wore heavy makeup today, but it was not as sharp as before and was a bit softer.


    ??However, Luo An saw at a glance the dark circles under the heavy makeup that Veranith was trying to hide. He smiled and nodded, and said with a little worry:


    ��Good afternoon, sir, you should pay more attention to rest. Your health is the most important thing.��


    ��I��m fine.��


    Veranis raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and an imperceptible smile flashed in her eyes. She handed Luo An a sealed document without any nonsense and said:


    ��Sophia��s matter has been dealt with. Your investigation team is working very **** this case. The holiday will continue. We��ll talk about it when it��s time to go to work.��


    ��Yes, sir.��


    Roan smiled and nodded, without asking what the "processed" in Veranith''s words meant specifically. He raised his hand and opened the sealed document bag.


    There were not many things in the document bag, only a few pieces of paper. Luo An took it out and looked at it carefully. Veranith explained at the side:


    ��The first one is a letter of appointment from Obato Petroleum Company. Luo An, you were hired as a consultant by this company, and your annual salary is at the bottom of the document.


    The second one is an invitation to the President��s White House press conference dinner��this invitation you can sell. "


    ?Looking at the annual salary of US$800,000 at the bottom of the first document, Luo An''s eyes lit up. He knew that this Obatto Oil Company was one of the subsidiaries of the oil company founded by the current president when he was young.


    When the current president established the oil company, it was on the verge of bankruptcy. In the end, with his unremitting efforts and the president''s father, he successfully turned it around.


    Sold 10% of the shares of a company with total assets of less than US$400,000 for US$1 million.


    So there is no corruption in the Federation, everything is legal business transactions, and legal political donations.


    The position of "advisor" is magical. You can take care of everything or nothing. Luo An immediately understood that this was the hush money paid by the person in the White House.


    ? 800,000 US dollars per year is not a small amount of money. Luo An turned his attention to the invitation letter for the second White House Correspondents'' Dinner, and then looked at Veranith in confusion.


    Veranith didn��t explain much, she just said:


    ��Your invitation is platinum. Anyone who gets a platinum invitation will sell it, without exception.��


    Luo An nodded understandingly. It was a rule that was not easy to explain clearly, but he understood it.


    ??After briefly talking for a while, Veranith drove away. As soon as Roan returned to the lawn, Lacey suddenly came over and whispered:


    ��Luo An, someone is looking for you.��


    ����Who is it again?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 701： Counting Harvest, Hawaii, Acquaintance

    Chapter 701: Calculating Harvest, Hawaii, Acquaintance


    ??The person looking for Luo An this time was a strange man, wearing a standard suit and meticulously slicked back hair. The whole person looked full of elite temperament.


    ��Hello, Mr. Greenwood.��


    At a street cafe diagonally opposite the church, a strange man stretched out his hand towards Luo An, showing a standard eight-tooth fake smile:


    ��My name is Oscar, I come from a etiquette company.��


    ��Etiquette company?��


    ?Luo An reached out and shook hands with the other person, and asked directly without going around the bush:


    ��What do you want from me?��


    ��Mr. Greenwood is really quick to talk.��


    ??The man who called himself Oscar chuckled, took out a light gold business card from his pocket and handed it to Luo An, saying bluntly:


    ��I heard that Mr. Greenwood received a platinum invitation to the White House Correspondents�� Dinner.


    Our company bothered Mr. Greenwood today because we intend to pay for it. "


    ��I have other work, so I��ll leave first. We��ll see you again when we have a chance.��


    Luo An has not yet guessed which party the consultant and invitation letter belong to, nor does he intend to guess.


    Recalling what Verenis said before, Luo An''s eyes flashed with light and he asked with a smile:


    ��How much does your company bid?��


    ?Putting the platinum invitation into his briefcase, Oscar stood up, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Luo An again, and smiled:


    ��$200,000.��


    Considering that the president in the White House often speaks without thinking, Luo An guessed that the two hush money should come from two parties, one is the president, and the other is the family behind the president.


    ??The invitation letter that he had not warmed up was obviously hush money, but in a roundabout way.


    ?Luo An smiled and directly agreed to the price proposed by the other party.


    ?That oil company consultant is a long-term consultant, and this invitation letter is a short-term one.


    ??The man who called himself Oscar smiled and said that all platinum invitations are at this price. If Luo An doesn''t believe it, he can call and ask.


    It took less than twenty minutes from meeting to leaving. Looking at Oscar''s back as he drove away, Luo An''s eyes narrowed slightly. He was silent for a few seconds and suddenly laughed.


    ??Back to the church, the event has come to an end. After chatting and laughing for a while, everyone left. Luo An and Mona also drove back to the villa.


    ��It was a pleasure working with you, Mr. Greenwood.��


    As soon as she returned to the villa, Mona threw her handbag aside and buried herself in the sofa.


    "goodbye."


    ?Hold a sausage, Luo An said while eating:


    ��Mona, call the housekeeping company and ask them to come here and clean it up.��


    "so tired."


    "No."


    ? ? After a few simple exchanges, Oscar took away the invitation letter, and Luo An��s mobile phone received a message that $200,000 was added to his account, and the on-site transaction was completed.


    ??Obviously this is not the first time that the "Etiquette Company" where Oscar works has done this kind of thing. There should be quite a few people like him who have received platinum invitations. There is a lot of money behind it, so there is no need to get involved too much.


    Luo An didn''t feel tired at all. He just left the wedding venue twice in a row without eating anything at all. He put on his slippers and went straight to the kitchen to rummage for food.


    ??This villa has three floors. In addition to Luo An and Mona''s bedroom, there are many other rooms. The two have no time to clean them, so they contact the community''s exclusive housekeeping company to clean them every few days.


    ��OK.��


    Mona reached out and grabbed half of the sausage. Mona agreed while eating it. While rummaging for her phone, she asked:


    ��Did Vereniss come to you just now to tell you when the vacation will end?��


    "No."


    ?Luo An shook his head. Mona��s eyes lit up when she saw this and she said:


    ��How about we go to Hawaii for a few days? It��s June now, so it��s a good time to go there for a vacation.��


    "Can."


    Finally having some time off, Luo An naturally wanted to relax, so he smiled and nodded and agreed: "How about leaving the day after tomorrow? I''ll book a flight ticket."


    ��No need, leave it all to me.��


    ?Mona looked excited, stood up and kissed Luo An **** the corner of the mouth, and quickly ran up the stairs:


    ��I��ll go online and look for tips. I��ll arrange air tickets, hotels, and where to go!��


    The happy and relaxed Luo An naturally agreed, and then he suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly:


    ��Don��t forget to call the housekeeping company!��


    ��You fight!��


    Luo An: ������


    After eating the sausage, Luo An found his mobile phone and called the housekeeping company. While waiting, Mona was searching for travel guide upstairs, while Luo An sat on the first floor and began to calculate his gains during this time.


    In the [Nuclear Warhead Missing Case], the security company was sold for US$2 million; in the [Sales Case], 5.6 million US dollars were obtained from MI6 using shady arms; and just now in the [Former NSA Director Poisoning Case], 100 US dollars were obtained Ten thousand U.S. dollars.


    Coupled with the bonuses after the conclusion of the [Congress Speaker Case], [Serial Murder Case] ??and [Gemstone Ring Curse Case], as well as the basic salary, Luo An��s various gains in the past few months have totaled another 10 million US dollars.


    ? There is also $450 million in Wall Street. Luo An originally thought that this money would sit quietly until the federal real estate crashed.


    But Michael Bray sold the low-grade CDs to other buyers and bought high-grade CDs backhand. In the process of selling, Luo An earned US$23 million.


    ??However, Luo An asked Michael Bray to continue using this money to purchase CDs, and it cannot be mobilized in the short term.


    ?? After a simple calculation of recent gains, Luo An raised his eyebrows when he saw the eight-digit number. He left the sofa and went upstairs into Mona''s bedroom:


    ��Are you booking a hotel?��


    ?Mona nodded and showed the hotel she found to Luo An:


    ��It��s the peak tourist season recently, and many hotels are offering discounts. I��m thinking about which hotel to book.��


    ?Luo An gently squeezed Mona��s shoulder and said with a smile:


    ��Book the hotel in the middle of the Hawaiian Islands, which is close to every tourist attraction.��


    Mona: ������


    ����


    Hawaii, the capital of which is located in Honolulu, has an island climate with monsoon regulation all year round and moderate temperatures every year. It is a world-renowned tourist resort.


    On the third day after deciding to take a vacation, Luo An and Mona took a plane to the Hawaiian Islands.


    After arriving at the hotel and resting for half a day, the two of them put on refreshing casual vacation attire and started to play around hand in hand.


    ? Waikiki Beach with blue ocean, soft sand and sunny sun; Kualoa Ranch with beautiful scenery and the filming location of many Hollywood movies; Oahu Island with beach coconut palms all over...


    ?For two weeks, Luo An and Mona wandered around and visited half of the scenic spots in the Hawaiian Islands, and also tasted some local specialties.


    Wednesday evening, Roan and Mona were hanging out hand in hand on the beach. The noisy cheers of the children did not make them bored, but they only felt that the beach was full of vitality.


    ?Time moves forward minute by minute, the orange-red sun disappears into the sea little by little, the night sky gradually rises, and the street lights also light up.


    ��The sun has been eaten by the sea, so it��s time for us to eat too.��


    Luo An tied a strand of Mona��s wind-blown hair and asked with a smile:


    ��What��s for dinner tonight?��


    ��I want to eat moon fish.��


    ?Mona licked her lips. Moonfish is one of the most colorful edible fish in Hawaii, and it makes people feel very appetizing.


    ??Luo An nodded and took Mona towards the restaurant in the distance:


    ��I��ll add a coconut milk dessert.��


    ��I want it too, and add two copies.��


    ?The two walked into the restaurant talking and laughing, and then they were both stunned because they saw a familiar face, Jawali Evans.


    The person sitting with Jawali was not Mrs. Hanover, but a very beautiful strange woman.


    On the other side, Jawali put down his wine glass and raised his head. When he saw Mona and Luo An at the door of the restaurant, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened.

 Chapter 702： Gyawalis situation, the rest of the investigation team

    Chapter 702: Gyawali��s situation, others in the investigation team


    ?Hawaii, a well-known seaside restaurant in Honolulu, the capital.


    ?At the door of the restaurant, Luo An, who was holding Mona''s hand, blinked. He really didn''t expect to meet Jawali here.


    What made Luo An even more unexpected was the woman opposite Jawali.


    ??The woman was facing the door of the restaurant sideways. She had a beautiful and uneven figure and a delicate face. She looked to be about forty years old... In short, she was not Mrs. Hanover.


    ?Some possibilities flashed through his mind. Luo An grinned and said nothing. He turned to look at Mona beside him.


    ?At this time, Mona''s eyes were also full of surprise. She and Gyawali talked on the phone a few days ago, and the other party said at that time that he was still on vacation in Australia.


    Today I saw Jawali in Hawaii, chatting and laughing with a strange woman... Mona took a deep breath, waved to the waiter, pointed to the dining table on the side of Jawali, and said:


    ��We sit there.��


    ��Yes, sir, ma��am.��


    Seeing that Luo An and Mona were not squinting, pretending not to see him, but sitting down at a table diagonally behind him less than two meters away, Jawali''s eyelids trembled, and he quickly picked up the red wine and took a sip. He coughed twice and said:


    The waiter in the restaurant didn''t know the specific situation. When he saw Mona choosing a seat, he immediately turned around and led Luo An and Mona to the table. He smiled and pulled out the chairs for the two of them:


    ��You two, please take a seat.��


    ����


    "possible."


    "do not be angry."


    ��Are you hungry because of the seafood?��


    ?Looking at the empty plates on the dining table, Mona''s face completely darkened.


    ��Things may not be what we think.��


    ??The fact that he didn''t even make a phone call can only mean that Jawali feels that the current situation is special and it is not suitable to communicate with Luo An and Mona.


    Then... until the dishes were served and Luo An and Mona finished eating them, Jawali did not come back to find them, or even make a phone call.


    ?Seeing the expression on Mona��s face, Luo An reached out and took Mona��s left hand, and whispered:


    But if this is the case, Luo An and Mona have been sitting here for more than forty minutes, and it is impossible for Jawali to be unable to get rid of the woman and come back to find them.


    ��OK.��


    ��Avanor, I suddenly feel uncomfortable in my stomach. Let��s leave first.��


    ����


    Jawali looked like he was feeling unwell, and the woman opposite didn''t say anything. The two of them simply cleaned up, got up, paid, and quickly left the restaurant.


    ??Although she had no intention of doing anything to Jawali, the other person''s behavior of pretending to be deaf made her feel very unhappy.


    The woman opposite was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly:


    Regarding Jawali''s decisive behavior, Luo An looked calm, and Mona''s expression remained unchanged. Both of them felt that this was a prelude to Jawali''s preparation to get rid of the strange woman. Jawali should come back later. them.


    After listening to Luo An��s analysis, Mona frowned slightly but nodded, and whispered:


    ��Then let��s leave too.��


    ?At first, Luo An did guess that Jawali was out to have fun behind Mrs. Hanover''s back.


    ?? Luo An stood up to pay and the two of them left the restaurant. This incident made them lose the mood to continue sightseeing. They temporarily canceled their original night shopping plan and took the car back to their rental hotel.


    Arrived in the hotel room, Mona immediately found her notebook, opened the page and began to investigate the identity of the strange woman.


    Soon, the identity of the other party was found out by Mona.


    ��The person in charge of an Australian environmental organization?��


    Looking at the half-length photo of a strange woman on the computer, Mona looked puzzled. Luo An recalled some news he had seen in his previous life, and his eyes moved slightly as he thought of something.


    Before he could speak, there was a sudden knock on the hotel room door. When he opened it, he found that it was a hotel attendant. The person handed Mona an envelope and said with a smile:


    "Hello, a gentleman asked us to forward this to you." "Thank you."


    ??Mona took the envelope and simply thanked her and returned to the room. Luo An casually gave the waiter some tips, closed the door, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Did Jawali send it?��


    ��The handwriting is his right.��


    Mona nodded. After checking the contents of the paper in the envelope for a few seconds, she suddenly frowned:


    ��He said that an old friend of his died suddenly some time ago and may have something to do with the Australian environmental organization. He is currently investigating the matter pretending to be another identity.��


    Luo An took the paper and looked at it, and found that the content inside was indeed true. Jawali also reminded the two not to help or interfere. The matter was not very dangerous and he could handle it himself.


    ?In addition, at the end of the paper, Jawali also wrote a special paragraph to warn Luo An, asking Luo An to be careful not to bully Mona, otherwise he would talk to Luo An with a shotgun.


    ?Luo An took one look at this sentence and ignored it. Jawali had said it many times before, and he was used to changing the soup without changing the medicine.


    After reading the contents of the letter, Luo An returned the paper to Mona, smiled and said:


    ��It seems that retirement life is not as good as imagined.��


    ?Mona frowned slightly and said somewhat unhappily:


    ��That��s because he has too many friends.��


    ???Neither Mona nor Caroline knew how many friends and acquaintances Jawali had.


    I just know that if there is anything that needs help, Jawali can find the phone numbers of some people on six continents around the world.


    ?This incident once made Mona complain crazily. She felt that even if something happened in Antarctica, Javari might not be able to call any penguin.


    ?Although Gyawali said he did not need help, he had resigned from the CIA after all and did not have access to much information.


    ?So Mona put the envelope away, returned to the table and continued to type on her laptop, sending all the information about the strange woman she found and the situation of the environmental organization to a secret mailbox in Jawali.


    This incident made Luo An and Mona feel less relaxed about their visit. Four days later, the two took a plane back to the Federation.


    Back at the villa, Luo An called other members of the special investigation team and had a brief chat.


    Chenelle returned home to take care of her elderly parents as usual, while Michelle still spent time in the library, feeling almost moldy.


    ?Winslow handed little Jimmy over to Lanita''s biological sister, and then took Lanita out of Washington, D.C., to the Bahamas for their bigamous honeymoon. The two had a great time.


    ?Little Jimmy: ������


    As for Lacey, she moved very quickly. During this vacation, she discovered 90% of the bars, nightclubs, and clubs in Washington, DC.


    Except for some special clubs and private clubs, Lacey has been visiting almost everywhere else.


    ?The above two kinds of clubs are also Lacey��s next goals. She plans to find a way to enter them and improve her horizons.


    Luo An: ������


    ??? After briefly understanding the movements of the special investigation team agents, Luo An and Mona continued to rest after confirming that everything was OK.


    ??The two spent their days leisurely eating and drinking. During the day, Luo An worked as a sparring partner for Mona. He wore protective gear and let Mona punch and kick her, training and training Mona''s fighting level and skills.


    ??The identities between the two remained unchanged at night. Luo An still worked as a sparring partner for Mona, using his own body to cultivate Mona''s fighting level and fighting skills.


    ?At the same time, the dinner that Mona mentioned earlier gave Luan an idea. After returning to the villa, the two of them ate twice the amount of food every night.


    ?More than a month later, Mona not only did not lose weight, but gained two kilograms.


    Mona: ������


    ? Time entered July, and on Wednesday, Luo An��s cell phone suddenly rang while he was shopping in the supermarket:


    ��It��s me, Veranith, come to my office.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 703： New situation, CIA

    Chapter 703 New situation, CIA


    FBI headquarters in Washington, a familiar office.


    ��Good afternoon, sir.��


    ??Knocked on the door and walked into the office. Luo An handed a small package to Veranith and said with a smile:


    "This is a specialty I brought back from Hawaii. Sir, you can have a taste. It tastes good."


    The items in the package are mainly Macarani chocolate and Macarani honey. The former has a rich taste, while the latter is sweet and delicious. Both are Veranith''s favorite sweets.


    "Thanks."


    Veranith raised the corners of her mouth slightly, smiled and took the package that Luo An handed her, carefully put it aside, and after saying a few words, she brought the topic to the point:


    ��Luo An, there is a case that I hope you can lead a team to handle.��


    ��What case?��


    ??Luo An looked around. In the past, Veranith would hand him a folder with relevant case information written in it.


    ��The scope of activities of that underground businessman is mainly in other countries outside the federation, and it was not originally within the scope of our FBI��s responsibilities.


    In addition, it was a joint operation by the CIA and FBI at the beginning, so this operation should be the same. "


    ?In addition to information about CIA agents, this list also contains a lot of information about our FBI��s undercover agents working in Yomi.


    ??The previous case of fighting on a small island in the Bahamas also had a missing list.


    Hearing this, Luo An��s mouth twitched and he complained:


    ����Shouldn��t the list be kept confidential? Why is it always lost?��


    The success lies in the cooperation between the two parties to capture the target person, but the failure lies in the loss of a list during the operation. "


    Veranith coughed lightly and introduced with a serious face:


    But this time there was no folder, and Veranith had no intention or movement of rummaging through it.


    ?This sentence was also full of flaws, but Luo An didn��t complain. He pondered for a while and asked:


    ��So, the goal of this case is to find that list?��


    The underground businessman plans to sell this list in the near future. Our goal is to get the list back and arrest the underground businessman at the same time. "


    ����


    ��This is a secret case.��


    That operation was half a success and half a failure.


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An nodded, pondered for a few seconds, and then asked:


    ��Five months ago, our FBI and the CIA in another building conducted a joint operation.


    But that list contains information about our FBI undercover agents, which involves the powers and responsibilities of our FBI.


    Veranith explained:


    Hearing Luo An��s complaints, Veranith��s eyes also flashed with a hint of speechlessness, she was silent for a moment and whispered:


    ��After that case, our FBI report showed that the loss of the list was mainly a problem and fault of the CIA.��


    Veranith nodded and then introduced:


    ��Half a month ago, the CIA��s intelligence department received a message that the list is now in the hands of a businessman in the underground world.


    ��This is a joint operation between the FBI and the CIA?��


    ?Luo An nodded, but before he could speak, Veranith''s face suddenly turned stern, and she lowered her voice and said seriously:


    ��Luo An, because the circumstances of this case are special and it is not suitable to be publicized, there will be no large-scale action and not many people will know about it.


    The CIA only sent three agents, and we at the FBI couldn''t have too many agents. Three were just enough.


    Luo An, you need to carefully consider the personnel arrangement. During the operation, the special investigation team will still be on administrative leave. "


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this:


    ��Is there support during the operation?��


    ��Support is available, but you need to contact us in advance.��


    ��OK.��


    Roan nodded and agreed. Veranith then briefly described to Roan what should be paid attention to during the operation, as well as the importance of preserving oneself when encountering danger, and other caring words.


    ?Finally, Veranith gave an address to Luo An, where the CIA agents and FBI agents met for this operation.


    Leaving the office, Luo An looked at the information on the note and fell into deep thought. There are six people in the special investigation team. Roan is the team leader, Chenille is in charge of interrogation, Lacey is in charge of intelligence, Michelle is in charge of logistics, Winslow is in charge of combat, and Mona is in charge of computers, each performing their own duties.


    ??But only three agents could participate in this operation... Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and was silent for a while. He took out his mobile phone and called Lacey:


    ��Where are you? I��m looking for you if I need something.��


    ����


    An hour later, Lacey saw a familiar SUV next to a park in northwest Washington, D.C., and immediately crossed the street and got in:


    ��Sorry, I��m late.��


    In the SUV, Luo An and Mona had just arrived. They turned around and saw Lacey in the back seat of the car, wiping the lip marks on her face with a wet wipe. Luo An was speechless.


    ?Mona was very calm. She not only handed the wet wipes box to Lacey, but also pointed to the location for Lacey:


    ��On the left side, there is another one on the neck.��


    "Thanks."


    Lacie smiled and thanked her a few times, then looked at Luo An:


    ��What happened this time?��


    ��The list has been lost and we need to get it back.��


    ?Luo An briefly described the circumstances of the case, and he finally chose himself, Mona and Lacey from the three candidates.


    ?Mona��s computer skills are undoubted and can come in handy at critical moments.


    ??Lacie''s ability to obtain intelligence is also second to none in the special investigation team. Neither Chenelle nor Winslow can match her in this regard.


    In terms of combat, Lacey is also the most suitable choice. She is not as good at fighting as Winslow. She is similar to Chenille. She can still run away even if she can''t be beaten.


    ??In addition, Luo An himself is the strongest in combat, so there is no need for someone in the team who is also good at combat. Lacey''s position is just right.


    After listening to Luo An��s introduction to the case, Mona frowned slightly, Lacey narrowed her eyes slightly, pondered for a few seconds, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, what do you think about the CIA?��


    ?Luo An didn��t say anything, Mona was stunned for a moment:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    "literal meaning."


    Lacie smiled, spread her hands and said truthfully:


    ��We all understand the CIA��s style. It is normal to do one thing in front of others and another behind the scenes.


    As far as I know, most joint operations between the CIA and other departments involve small actions.


    ??The three CAI agents opposite this time will most likely not be honest people, because there is no environment for honest people to survive in the CIA. "


    Luo An raised the corners of his mouth, smiled and said:


    ��So, we are the ones to take action this time.��


    ??Lacie is definitely the most thoughtful person in the special investigation team. The word "sightedness" here is not a derogatory meaning, but she has keen observation and can discover many situations that others have not discovered.


    ??Mona is not stupid and sweet, and has no shortage of brains. Only Luo An is an ordinary and honest person.


    ����


    Hearing Luo An��s evaluation of themselves, Mona and Lacey both rolled their eyes.


    ? Luo An chuckled and started to start the car and go to the location on the note.


    "correct."


    Halfway through, Mona suddenly remembered something and asked:


    ��Do we have any information about the underground businessman, such as his name or photo?��


    ��The news came from the CIA, but they didn��t elaborate on the details.��


    ? Luo An shook his head. The CIA only said that the list would be sold and asked the FBI to send someone to act together.


    ??Mona and Lacey frowned when they heard this, but Luo An remained very calm:


    "Don''t worry, we will know the specific situation. It''s just a little troublesome later, I will solve it."


    ?Mona and Lacey understood the meaning of Luo An��s words and looked at each other without saying anything more.


    An hour later, the SUV arrived at the designated place on the note at the designated time, but the three people got out of the car and found that there was no one there except them.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 704： 【FBICIA list loss case】

    Chapter 704 [The case of missing FBICIA list]


    ?Southern Washington, D.C., in a woods beside the Potomac River.


    The SUV slowly parked on the road next to the woods. Luo An and the other two got out of the car. There was no one else visible in the area except them.


    "what''s the situation?"


    ?Mona looked around and frowned immediately. Lacey slowly moved to Luo An''s side and asked in a low voice:


    ��Is the CIA causing trouble, or are we in the wrong place?��


    Luo An��s eyes flashed and he smiled:


    ��Let��s get back to the car first.��


    ?Mona and Lacey saw Luo An''s expression, and immediately nodded and turned back to the car. The three of them got into the car, and Luo An started the SUV and continued to move forward.


    I saw the SUV slowly disappearing around the corner of the road, not too far from the roadside. In the bushes behind a big tree in the woods, a white man wearing a dark green coat raised his mouth and raised his hand. The micro communicator next to his ear laughed softly:


    ��Conrad, it��s me, Sean.


    I have already met Team Leader Greenwood sent by the FBI. He is indeed young and handsome.


    But his ability is average and he didn''t notice me. It doesn''t seem to be as powerful as the rumors say. "


    ??The smile on Luo An''s face became brighter and brighter. When he got out of the car just now, the "emotional perception" in his mind discovered a person in the bushes.


    ��Having a bad stomach? Can you think of this reason?��


    Considering that there was no smell in the air, Luo An immediately ruled out the possibility that the other party was resolving internal conflicts.


    ��Indeed, this reason is not serious at all. What if the road is too congested, so I accidentally get late?��


    Sean��s mouth twitched, and Conrad on the other end of the communicator paused in his words, then changed the subject and ordered:


    ��Sean, get up and call Team Leader Greenwood. Just tell him that you accidentally had a bad stomach, so you were late, and then bring him to our place.��


    Evelin��s nonchalant voice sounded through the communicator:


    ��And what am I doing to interfere with his emotional life? I just want to interfere with his body.��


    ��I think it��s y����


    Sean, who was dusting off his coat, nodded, then suddenly froze and turned around a little. Luo An was standing behind him with a smile. Under the big tree not far away, Mona and Lacey had their arms around their chests. , looked at him with disdain.


    ����


    Conrad��s sneer sounded over the communicator:


    ��So what if you��re single-minded? What man doesn��t eat secretly?��


    ??? Before Sean could continue to speak, a very sweet female voice sounded from the contact:


    "Sean, you just said that Greenwood is very handsome. How handsome is he? Is he more handsome than in the photo?"


    ��I��m sure that SUV has left.��


    A slightly hoarse male voice sounded from the micro-communicator:


    ��Sean, are you sure?��


    ��Don��t panic, I understand, it��s just a small show of strength, right?��


    ����


    ?Shawn''s eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, and a fear suddenly appeared in his heart. He stumbled and said:


    ��Leader Greenwood, I��m just����


    ��That Team Leader Greenwood has his own woman. The information shows that he is very single-minded. It is impossible for you to interfere in his love life.��


    ��Stop being a nymphomaniac, Evelyn.��


    ? Luo An agreed very much:


    Shaun stood up from the bushes and said with an unhappy look on his face:


    ?Having guessed the other party��s purpose, Luo An chose to drive Mona and Lacey around a nearby bend, and then quietly returned here from behind the bushes.


    ?Mona and Lacey were unable to sneak in absolute silence, so they chose to stay together under a big tree not far away. Roan slowly moved behind the bushes.


    ??Hearing Sean lying on the ground and praising his handsomeness, Luo An chuckled. Lacey''s previous judgment that the CIA did not have honest people was obviously wrong. The CIA in front of her was an honest man.


    Luo An stretched out his hand to the honest man in front of him and said with a smile: "Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Roan Greenwood, and I am the leader of the FBI special investigation team."


    Sean was startled by Luo An, and had no idea how Luo An sneaked behind him. His eyes were full of disbelief, and the hair on his chest stood up in his heart.


    Seeing Luo An reaching out to him, Sean swallowed to suppress the shock in his heart, and forced a smile on his stiff face:


    ��Hello, Leader Greenwood, my name is Sean.��


    The two of them held hands. Luo An still had a smile on his face, but he accidentally increased his strength, causing Sean''s right hand to squeak.


    ����


    The two of them let go of their hands. Sean, whose right hand was sore and trembling with pain, twitched the corner of his mouth. He was so embarrassed that he did not dare to speak. He chose to skip the situation at hand and said directly:


    ��Leader Greenwood, the rest of our team have been waiting not far away for a long time. Let��s get there quickly.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An nodded with a smile and waved to Mona and Lacey under the big tree. Seeing this, the two women silently put the pistol back on their waist and walked over slowly.


    ??Shawn''s eyelids twitched, and he quickly led the way without saying anything.


    ?The four of them walked deeper into the woods for a few minutes. Not far away, an open area suitable for camping appeared in front of them.


    In the open area, two men and women were standing.


    The white man looks to be about forty years old, of average height, build, and appearance. Except for his small eyes, he has almost no noticeable features.


    ??The woman next to him looks to be about thirty years old, with a curvy figure and long legs wrapped in jeans that look very strong. She has a delicate face but no makeup. She only has some extremely bright lipstick on her lips that looks like blood.


    ??Mona narrowed her eyes immediately when she saw the woman and whispered:


    ��This red lipstick... looks like a child has just been eaten.��


    ??Lacie smiled and said nothing, Luo An was selectively deaf, and Sean quickly returned to his teammates.


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    ??The white man with small eyes took a step forward. Sean had not turned off the communicator just now, and the voice from that head could be clearly heard here. He was also surprised, and without any expression on his face, he said in a deep voice:


    ��My name is Conrad.��


    ?Luo An reached out and shook his hand. The woman next to him then extended her hand, with a beautiful smile on her lips:


    ��Hi, Leader Greenwood, just call me Evelyn. You are indeed more handsome in person than you look in the photo.��


    "Thanks."


    ?Mona and Lacey then walked out, shook hands with several people, and introduced their names.


    Selectively ignoring Mona��s unkind glances at Evelin, Luo An directly brought the matter to the point:


    ��Leader Conrad, is it time to introduce the specific circumstances behind this operation?��


    Previously, Veranith only briefly introduced the semi-failed event five months ago. The CIA did not give much details about the incident of retrieving the list, and she did not know much.


    "certainly."


    ?Conrad nodded, his small eyes making it difficult for others to see his thoughts, and introduced carefully:


    ��Beside that underground businessman, there was an undercover agent who was infiltrated by our CIA. The news that the list was going to be sold came from him.��


    Luo An was not surprised that the CIA had undercover agents. He then asked:


    ��When and where was the list sold, who was the buyer, what was his identity, and what did he intend to do when he bought the list?��


    There were a lot of questions, but they were all information that should be known, but Conrad slowly shook his head and said:


    ��Sorry, Leader Greenwood, we don��t know this information either.


    Because as soon as the news that the list was going to be sold came out, our undercover agent was caught by an underground businessman. "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 705： Travel to South America

    Chapter 705 Heading to South America


    ��He was arrested?��


    Hearing the news, Lacey frowned slightly, Mona''s face changed slightly, and the two women looked at each other and turned their attention to Luo An.


    ?Through the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An was sure that the other party was telling the truth. After a moment of silence, he asked:


    ��Is that undercover agent still alive?��


    ��Sorry, we don��t know either.��


    ? Conrad waved, and Evelin immediately handed a photo to Luo An, which showed the appearance of the undercover agent. Conrad continued:


    ��However, this undercover agent knows a lot of things. It is impossible for the underground businessman to kill her in a short period of time, and the chance of survival is still very high.


    Our first goal next is to find the undercover agent, find a way to rescue her, and then find out when and where the list was sold, as well as the identity of the buyer. "


    ??Luo An looked at the photo that Evelin handed him. It showed a white woman who looked less than thirty years old. She had a delicate face and large eyes, which was in sharp contrast to the small-eyed Conrad.


    After Conrad finished narrating, "emotional perception" confirmed that the following words were also true. Luo An put away the photo and nodded, briefly communicating for a moment, and the few people began to walk towards the distant road, preparing to drive away from the area.


    ?On the way to the airport, two cars were speeding one behind the other.


    ?? Mona was sitting in the co-pilot, typing on the laptop keyboard, researching information about undercover women. Luo An was sitting in the back seat with her eyes closed and meditating. Lacey, who was driving, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said:


    ��You two, we may need to pay more attention to that Evelin next.��


    ?Mona nodded. She didn��t know exactly what Lacey meant, but Evelin had aroused her dissatisfaction. She would stare at the other party even if Lacey didn��t say anything.


    Roan opened his eyes. He knew that what Lacey was talking about was definitely not the things Mona paid attention to, and asked:


    ��Where do you mean?��


    ��I refer to the orders and command of the CIA team.��


    Lacie chuckled and said:


    ��My experience, as well as the looks and casual movements of the three people, tell me that Evelin has probably slept with both men in the team.


    ?Conrad and Sean most likely didn��t know about this, and Evelin kept them in the dark.


    ??Although Conrad is the leader of their team and Sean is a member, at critical moments, these two men are likely to make irrational actions for Evelin. We need to pay more attention to this. "


    ??Mona was a little surprised when she heard this:


    ��Lacie, are you sure?��


    ��Trust my experience.��


    Lacie chuckled and said with some pride:


    ��Because I��ve done this before, playing with three girls at the same time without letting them notice anyone else existed.��


    ����


    ??The words full of scumbag feeling made Mona''s eyelids jump. She turned around and saw Luo An''s expression was very calm, and asked:


    ��Luo An, did you guess it too?��


    ? Luo An shook his head. He really had no experience in this area, but even if he had experience, he couldn''t speak out, so he explained:


    ��Men control the world, women control men, objective laws.��


    ??Lacie''s eyes lit up and she gave Roan a thumbs up. Mona curled her lips and said nothing, returned to her seat and continued typing on the keyboard.


    Half an hour later, the group arrived at the airport and boarded a small private plane together.


    ��Our next stop is South America, the longest country in the world.��


    ??The plane took off slowly, and after it gradually stabilized, Conrad unbuckled his seat belt, found a bottle of red wine and handed it to Luo An and the others, saying


    ��When we get there, someone will arrange equipment and funds for us.��


    ?Luo An took the red wine but didn��t drink it and asked:


    "The main problem now is that the undercover agent is missing. Can we find her?" "The undercover codename is Anita, we can call her that."


    ?Conrad picked up the red wine and took a sip, shook his head and said:


    ��For some reasons, Anita did not use our CIA positioning chip, so we were unable to locate her.


    ?But Anita is a mature undercover agent. She is less than thirty years old but has been working in this industry for more than five years and understands the importance of leaving clues at critical moments.


    We just need to find these clues and we will have a way to find her. "


    Mona frowned when she heard this, and Lacey asked directly:


    ��So, your CIA plan is to place your hopes on the clues Anita left before she was captured?


    What if she left no clues, or the clues were discovered by her captors and then eliminated? "


    Conrad��s expression remained unchanged and he said calmly:


    ��Then we��ll think of other solutions when the time comes.��


    ����


    ?Seeing the natural expressions on the faces of Conrad, Sean and Evelin, Mona and Lacey looked a little ugly. They just felt that the action styles and habits of the two teams were incompatible and completely inconsistent.


    Beside him, the expression on Luo An��s face did not change, and he was still very calm. He waved his hands to Mona and Lacey, and said with a faint smile:


    ��It doesn��t matter, Team Leader Conrad is very experienced, we can just follow their actions.��


    ?Luo An is actually not in a hurry at all. Their main goal of the FBI is to get back the list, and the second is to arrest people.


    ??As long as you follow Conrad and the three CIAs closely, you will definitely have a chance to see that list.


    ?Conrad has told the truth so far, but Luo An understands very well that sometimes telling half the truth can cause more harm than telling lies.


    ??And as the leader of a CIA operation team, Conrad cannot be a simple guy. He must have other plans.


    ?At the end of the list, you can still **** it if it doesn''t work. It''s just a few troublesome steps, but the final result remains the same.


    ?Thinking of this, Luo An smiled brightly, and the smile on Conrad''s face became warmer. The two looked at each other, and everything was clear.


    Other people in the plane: ������


    ����


    ?Chile is in the southwest of South America, at the western foot of the Andes Mountains, facing the Pacific Ocean to the west and Antarctica across the sea to the south. It is the narrowest country in the world.


    Chile is also one of the richest countries in South America. In addition to the fact that the country is very rich in mineral resources, forestry resources, fish resources, etc., the most important reason is that the country��s top government officials have a good relationship with the top officials of the federal government. ��


    Puerto Montt, a well-known commercial center, transportation node and tourist attraction in south-central Chile.


    Thursday, 12 noon, a well-known hotel in Puerto Montt...a small coffee shop not far away.


    Behind the coffee shop, there is a room for the boss to rest, and below the room is a spacious basement.


    ?The basement is very long. The left wall is covered with weapons. The right wall is a large whiteboard covered with scraps of tape. It can be seen that many photos have been posted here in the past to analyze intelligence and information.


    ??Mona and Lacey looked at the various guns on the wall and raised their eyebrows. Luo An glanced left and right and said with a smile:


    ��Leader Conrad, the locations of your CIA safe houses are really diverse.��


    ? Sean and Evelin began to distribute weapons and equipment to Mona and Lacey. Conrad smiled and said nothing. He bent down to find a few mobile phones and handed them to Roan, saying:


    ��This is a special satellite phone. We will mainly rely on it to communicate with each other during the next operation.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Handing the phone to Mona, Luo An picked up two grenades and asked:


    ��Where was Anita finally lost contact with?��


    ��The port is not far away.��


    ?The few people simply packed up their equipment and walked out of the basement. Luo An glanced at the coffee shop owner at the door and asked casually:


    ��Is this one of yours?��


    ?Conrad nodded, and the next second, Luo An suddenly pulled out a gun and put it against the coffee shop owner''s head.

    Puerto Montt, a small coffee shop, in the corridor at the basement door.


    ?At this time, a sign stating that it is temporarily closed was hung at the door of the coffee shop. The owner of the coffee shop has a standard mixed-race appearance, with a high nose and sunken eye sockets. He looks to be in his thirties.


    ?Hearing Conrad said that the coffee shop owner was from their CIA, Luo An nodded and directly pulled out a gun and put it to the coffee shop owner''s head.


    ��?!��x6


    Roan��s actions caught everyone��s expectations. Evelyn and Sean subconsciously aimed their guns at Roan. Upon seeing this, Mona and Lacey immediately raised their guns and aimed at Evelin and Sean.


    ?Several people pointed guns at each other''s heads. The air in the area instantly became extremely quiet, and everyone could hear themselves and others breathing.


    ?Conrad was also startled by Luo An��s actions. He didn��t hold the gun, and frowned and asked:


    ��Leader Greenwood, what do you mean?��


    ��You can ask the boss.��


    ??Luo An smiled. He kept turning on the "emotional perception" in his mind. When a few people entered the place, the coffee shop owner''s emotion was nothing but surprise.


    ?Just now a few of them walked out of the basement, and the coffee shop owner suddenly felt a cold feeling of disgust, as well as emotions such as unwillingness and struggle.


    When several people walked out of the basement, Luo An noticed that the coffee shop owner''s right hand made a move to put it into his pants pocket. He immediately realized that there was something wrong with the coffee shop owner.


    ?Conrad frowned, waved his hand to signal Evelin and Sean to put down their pistols, turned his eyes to the coffee shop owner, and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��Porfirio, explain.��


    ??The coffee shop owner was also startled by Luo An''s sudden action of pulling out a gun. He pinched his thigh hard, forced himself to calm down, turned to Conrad, smiled, and said:


    ��Team leader, I have no problem, I was wrongly accused.��


    The coffee shop owner��s smile was normal and flawless, but the fear in his eyes could not be concealed.


    Conrad felt a shiver in his heart, and became a little more aware of Luo An''s keen observation. He suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded without changing his expression, and said:


    ��I believe you, but please give me your phone first.��


    ����


    The smile on the coffee shop owner''s face slowly froze. Evelin and Sean also noticed something was wrong with each other at this time. Just as they were about to speak, the coffee shop owner suddenly threw a black object from his pocket and turned around. run!


    Evelyn, Sean, Mona, and Lacey didn''t see clearly what the opponent threw, and subconsciously turned to avoid it. Conrad ignored it and opened his legs to chase the opponent.


    boom! boom!


    The next second, a gunshot rang out. Luo An reacted very quickly. He saw clearly that the black object was just a bag of coffee beans. He opened fire without hesitation. The two bullets hit the coffee shop owner with great accuracy. In the left and right calves.


    ?The coffee shop owner��s eyes bulged, and before he could scream, Conrad had already run behind him and kicked the coffee shop owner unconscious.


    ??Luo An walked up to the coffee shop owner unhurriedly, looked for the other person''s phone, and quickly found a text message, showing it to Conrad:


    ��Lleg��elpescado.��


    The content of the text message is in Spanish, and when translated into English, it probably means "The fish is coming."


    Taking the phone and seeing the contents clearly, Conrad''s face suddenly became very ugly.


    ??Luo An turned around and pulled Mona and Lacey up from the ground. He selectively ignored the hand from Evelin next to him, begging to be pulled, and said:


    ��Leader Conrad, it��s obvious that our whereabouts have been exposed.��


    ��Sorry, it��s my problem this time.��


    ?Taking a deep breath, Conrad suppressed the anger in his heart, admitted his work mistakes, and then ordered:


    ��Evelin, take this guy away and go to safe house No. 19. The other safe houses are no longer safe.��


    Evelin got up from the ground and was about to take the order when Luo An followed closely and said:


    "Mona, Lacey, you guys go there with Agent Evelyn."


    ?Conrad said nothing and acquiesced to Roan''s order. Evelin nodded and agreed. Mona sneered and followed Evelin out of the cafe with Lacey escorting people. The owner of the coffee shop has a problem, and the whereabouts of himself and others may have been exposed, but Conrad decided to go to the dock because that was the place where Anita lost contact for the last time. The key information may be there. If you want to find the other party, you must Investigate in the past.


    Roan was confident of ensuring his own safety. He did not reject Conrad''s plan and, together with Conrad and Sean, took a car to a distant port.


    ��I��m sorry, Team Leader Luo An.��


    ?Halfway through, Sean apologized for his behavior of pointing a gun at Luan, saying that he had overreacted.


    ?Luo An smiled and said nothing. The six people in the two teams obviously did not trust each other. There was no intrigue and intrigue. It was necessary to be on guard.


    ? He ??has no intention of changing this situation, and there is no need to change it. The two parties are not on the same page, and it is impossible for them to become a loving family in a short period of time.


    Plus, after completing this mission, the two parties may never meet again, so there is no need to waste time on interpersonal relationships.


    As long as the code can run, there is no need to touch it, because other bugs may appear.


    ?The three women went to Safe House No. 19, and Luo An and the other three arrived at a pier in Monte Port not long after taking the car.


    ��Generally, Anita will leave some small objects that are not easy to detect but can be preserved for a long time to convey information.��


    ?Conrad carefully observed the surroundings and walked forward while introducing Luo An:


    ��The medium is not fixed, including rocks and garbage. We need to look for it carefully.��


    ��OK.��


    ? Luo An nodded. He was turning on his "emotional perception" to carefully observe his surroundings to prevent enemies from appearing.


    ? Conrad was also worried that there was a trap here, so he did not choose to split up. Instead, the three of them worked together to search carefully near the containers on the dock.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Luo An and the other three had walked from the northernmost end of the pier to the southernmost end.


    The good news is, there are no enemies or traps here. The bad news is that the three of them found no clues.


    ?Shawn frowned, Conrad''s face was expressionless, and he was about to turn around and walk to the other side of the container to search.


    Luo An looked around and found an unactivated container hanger not far away, so he said:


    ��I��ll go look somewhere else.��


    ?The three of them were temporarily separated. Luo An felt that clues might be found from the commanding heights. Conrad still took Sean to investigate step by step.


    The container hanger was very high. Luo An climbed up little by little along the handle, and soon reached the top of the hanger. Looking down from a high place, Luo An saw nearly a quarter of the pier.


    ? Conrad and Sean were walking along the side of another row of containers at this time. Luo An took the binoculars he brought out from the safe house and looked at the area where they were.


    Suddenly, he discovered that there were three rows of containers between him and the two of them. In the middle of the row of containers very close to the sea, there were some dark ruts on the ground. They often drove cars... and often drove fast. Luo An, who was experienced, recognized them at a glance. They were the result of the car''s sudden braking. traces.


    With his eyes moving slightly, Luo An thought of some possibility and took out his mobile phone to contact Conrad and ask him to check the rut marks.


    Before he could press the button, Luo An suddenly noticed through the telescope that Conrad stopped and took out his cell phone and answered the call.


    ?The next second, Luo An''s cell phone also rang. When he pressed the answer button, Lacey''s voice came out:


    ��Luo An, the coffee shop owner is awake. We got some news from him.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 707： truth serum, positioning

    Chapter 707 Veritaserum, positioning


    Luo An did not rush to ask Lacey what the so-called news she said was, but asked with a telescope:


    ��What is Evelyn doing?��


    ��Evelyn?��


    Lacey was stunned for a moment. She didn��t expect Luo An to ask this question. She quickly turned around and glanced not far behind her. She was silent for a second and whispered:


    ��She and Mona stood on either side of the coffee shop owner with their hands on their hips, staring at each other.��


    ����


    Luo An��s eyelids twitched at the strong sense of the picture, but he didn��t pay attention to it and asked:


    ��In other words, Evelin hasn��t called Conrad now, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Lacie replied:


    ��She plans to wait for you to come back before telling Conrad the news.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Above the container tower crane, through the telescope, he saw Conrad and Sean who were on the phone and moved quickly towards the rut after finishing the phone call. Luo An raised the corner of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said:


    ��I understand, by the way, you just mentioned the owner of the cafe and gave you some information, what is it specifically?��


    Hearing Luo An introduce the topic, Lacey quickly replied in a low voice:


    ��This so-called safe house No. 19 is located inside an abandoned factory.


    After we arrived here, Evelyn gave the coffee shop owner an injection directly...I suspected it was something like Veritaserum.


    While the coffee shop owner was unconscious, he said that a strange man chatted with him three days ago.


    The man spent $50,000 to convince the coffee shop owner to send a message to the man if anyone went to his safe house.


    As for the identity of the man and why he did what he did, the coffee shop owner had no idea. He was just doing it for money. "


    ?Through the telescope, Roan discovered that Conrad and Sean began to search for containers near the rut marks.


    Roan was not surprised at all by Lacey''s narration.


    The incomes of CIA''s senior staff and grassroots staff are very different. Field staff who hide their identity like coffee shop owners, unless the task is very important, their salary is not high in most cases.


    ?Rebellion because of money is normal, and it is not surprising within the CIA.


    ?After pondering for a moment, Luo An said:


    ��Lacie, find a way to get the coffee shop owner to make a mock portrait of the person who is looking for him.


    Then let Mona try to investigate and see if she can find out the identity of the other party and find the other party. "


    "clear."


    ??Lacie agreed and hung up the phone. Luo An put his cell phone away and was about to get off the top of the container tower crane when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang again.


    ��It��s me, Conrad.��


    Luo An pressed the answer button, and Conrad��s voice sounded on the phone. He smiled and said:


    ��Shaun and I have found the message Anita left.��


    "Yeah?"


    ?Luo An asked with a smile:


    ��Where was it found? What did Anita leave behind?��


    ��It��s a USB flash drive.��


    ? Conrad did not go into details about his and Sean��s search process, but said directly:


    ��Leader Greenwood, we should leave.��


    ��OK, meet at the pier exit, I��ll be there soon.��


    Hang up the phone, Luo An looked at the telescope on his left hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, some thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he began to move toward the bottom of the tower crane.


    Seven minutes later, the three of them met at the exit of the pier. Sean started the car and led Luo An and Conrad to leave the place quickly.


    During this period, Conrad showed the USB flash drive he found to Roan. Roan looked in admiration and applauded repeatedly. Conrad''s expression did not change, but Sean unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth.


    Roan later also talked about the situation Lacey had just described. Conrad did not conceal the shot that Evelin gave to the coffee shop owner. He nodded and admitted directly:


    ��Yes, it is indeed Veritaserum.��


    The Federal Supreme Court ruled that a confession resulting from the ingestion of veritaserum was "unconstitutionally coerced" and therefore inadmissible.


    The fact that regulations do not allow it does not mean that this method will not be used. The CIA does not care about legal regulations. The process is not important. They only want the results.


    ?Luo An did not comment on Evelin''s behavior. After all, the other party was a CIA agent, and they were not in the same group. The three of them soon arrived at the so-called safe house No. 19. As Lacey said, it was an abandoned factory.


    ?Just as Lacey said, Conrad led Luan deep into the abandoned factory, where there was a fire-fighting equipment installed on the wall.


    Open the broken metal door outside the fire equipment. Inside is a metal door with a combination lock.


    ?Conrad pressed a few buttons, and the metal door opened. Inside was a very spacious and clean room that was quite different from the abandoned factory outside.


    Conrad and the other three stepped into the room with their heads down. In the center of the room, the coffee shop owner was tied to a chair with his head down and unconscious. Evelin was standing against the wall, looking down at her nails. Mona and Lacey were sitting in front of the computer together, sorting things out. and search information.


    "How about it?"


    ??Luo An briefly glanced around the internal structure of the safe house, walked to Mona''s side, and asked:


    ��Have you found anything?��


    "No."


    ?Mona shook her head, Lacey spread her hands and said helplessly:


    ��No one here can do simulation portraits, and the description of the coffee shop owner is intermittent. There are only facial features such as a big nose and big eyes, and the person cannot be found at all.��


    "It doesn''t matter."


    ??Luo An gently patted Mona on the shoulder, looked back at Conrad, and said with a smile:


    ��Team Leader Conrad and Sean are very good. They found the USB flash drive that Anita left before she disappeared. There should be clues in this USB flash drive.��


    ??Hearing Luo An praising him, Sean waved his hands repeatedly, but the corners of his mouth still raised uncontrollably. Conrad''s expression remained unchanged, and he took out the USB flash drive and handed it to Mona.


    Inserting the USB flash drive into the computer, Mona started typing on the keyboard. Soon she raised her eyebrows and said:


    ��Everyone, there is indeed something in the USB flash drive.��


    Except for Evelin, everyone hurriedly came to the computer. Sean asked:


    ��What exactly is it?��


    ��Photos of some people, and their identifying information.��


    ??Mona scrolled down the computer page, and several photos of white men or mixed-race men with different appearances appeared in front of everyone. Mona analyzed:


    ��These people should be the guys around the underground businessman.��


    ��It��s very likely.��


    Lacie nodded, and Conrad asked in a deep voice:


    ��Can we find their current traces?��


    ��Chile is a country where there is not much surveillance, and there is almost no facial recognition system.��


    ??Mona��s words made Conrad and Sean frown, and then Mona changed her tone and said:


    ��But your CIA��s database information is very complete. I also have a miniature facial recognition program developed by your CIA on my computer. I should be able to find them soon.��


    ��???��x2


    ?Conrad and Sean were both stunned, feeling that there was something wrong with Mona''s next words.


    ??Luo An''s mouth twitched and he covered his face helplessly. He felt that he would have to find time to treat Roland to a proper meal in the future.


    Under the gaze of everyone, the right side of the laptop screen flashed quickly with photos of various men and women, a circle on the left kept beating, and the percentage in the middle slowly increased.


    Not long after, the percentages came to an end. Mona��s eyes lit up and she introduced:


    ��There are six men in the USB flash drive, and their identities have been identified, but the specific whereabouts of only two of them have been found.��


    ��Two are enough.��


    Conrad leaned forward and asked:


    ��Where are they?��


    ��It��s in this city!��


    After getting the specific address, Conrad immediately asked Sean to prepare. Roan gently squeezed Mona''s shoulder and whispered:


    ��Mona, help me check something.��


    ��What to check?��


    ��A period of monitoring.��

 Chapter 708： factory, battle

    Chapter 708: Factory, Battle


    ?At half past nine in the evening, a remote abandoned factory in the southern part of Puerto Montt, Isetliu District.


    ??The heavily armed Luo An hid his figure, and under the cover of darkness and various mechanical garbage obstacles on the factory floor, he gradually approached the five-story building in the center of the abandoned factory.


    Soon, Luo An quietly hid outside the first floor of the building, in the shadow of the abandoned garbage truck at the corner. While carefully observing his surroundings, he pressed the communicator next to his ear and whispered:


    ��We have arrived at the designated location, how are the others?��


    From a shadow on the other side of the building, Conrad��s voice sounded:


    ��We successfully reached the hidden area, how is the truck prepared?��


    institutions


    Evelin��s voice followed closely and said in a deep voice:


    ��As long as the undercover agent is rescued, we can leave immediately.��


    The heavily armed Sean quickly arrived at the planned location. At a commanding height on the far east side, Lacey lay on the ground with a sniper rifle with a day and night thermal imaging sighting device on her chest. She said in a deep voice. road:


    ��Everyone, there are manpower on the second, third, and fourth floors. I saw a total of nearly thirty patrolling guys, but I didn��t see the target person.��


    "I saw."


    ?At the commanding heights on the west side, Mona had a high-precision thermal imaging instrument linked to a computer placed beside her. She looked at the picture on the computer and said in a solemn voice:


    ��In the deepest part of the fourth floor, judging from his posture, the target person is currently tied and sitting on the ground, with three guards around him.��


    ? Luo An silently took out a bomb with a remote control device from his pocket, threw it into the abandoned garbage truck beside him, and then began to move towards the inside of the building.


    Quietly, he turned over and jumped to the first floor of the building. Then he stepped on the wall and jumped. He climbed to the second floor like a monkey. Luo An hid behind the load-bearing wall, tilted his head slightly and looked forward, narrowed his eyes and pressed the contact button. Device:


    ��Conrad, in your direction, in the northwest aisle of the second floor, there are three people playing with computers, suspected to be communication devices.��


    ??In an unoccupied room on the first floor of the building, Conrad was installing a remote-controlled bomb on the wall and replied:


    ��Understood, I will destroy the enemy��s communication device as soon as possible.��


    Luo An then changed the channel and asked:


    ��Sean, how are you doing over there?��


    ??In the darkness of a hidden place on the first floor of the building, the flashlight above his head shone faintly. Sean quickly handled the wires in his hands and said:


    ��It��ll be alright right now, just give me one more minute.��


    ??Everyone fell silent and waited quietly. After dozens of seconds, less than a minute, Sean''s voice sounded again:


    ��The preparations have been completed.��


    Relying on the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An quickly moved forward from the shadows in these dozens of seconds. While installing remote-controlled bombs, he avoided patrolling enemies and ran to the third floor.


    After Sean finished speaking, Luo An hid behind the load-bearing pillar, turned on the gun safety, and whispered:


    ��Everyone, be prepared and listen to my instructions.��


    Luo An took out a shock bomb from his waist and looked at the enemy not far away with narrowed eyes:


    ��Three��two��one! Get started!��


    Boom! boom! boom!


    �O


    boom-


    ??The next second, Conrad immediately activated the remote-controlled bomb and rushed to the second floor. Deafening explosions suddenly sounded crazily throughout the first floor of the building.


    ?The wall collapsed, the glass was shattered, and the three enemies who did not notice the bomb were directly knocked over by the explosion.


    At the same time, Sean blew out the main wires of the building. The lights of the building flickered a few times, and it instantly fell into darkness. A group of guys patrolling with guns lost their vision.


    On the other side, at the commanding heights on the east side, after Luo An finished speaking, Lacey, who was holding a sniper rifle with a thermal imaging device, immediately pulled the trigger and smashed the head of an enemy on the third floor of the building.


    ??Looking at the enemy in the distance who had disappeared due to the lights, with a shocked and somewhat bewildered face, Luo An walked out of the darkness, first threw the shock bomb, then raised his rifle and fired the bullet.


    �O


    boom! boom! boom!


    A dazzling white light flashed in the darkness. The three enemies only felt their eyes light up and their brains went blank for a moment. Then nine gunshots rang out, two in the chest and one in the head. Luo An directly helped the three of them fall into a deep sleep. ��Go left, Luo An.��


    ??The next second after the three enemies fell, Mona''s voice sounded in the communicator in Luo An''s ear. She looked at the scene on the computer and said:


    ��There is a staircase on the left. There are five enemies on the fourth floor who are moving quickly there. You can ambush a wave.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An, who had discovered the five people with his "emotional perception", smiled and immediately moved quickly towards the left stairwell.


    In the darkness, when he sensed the five people starting to go downstairs, Luo An took out a shock bomb again and threw it lightly.


    Bang!


    Boom��


    boom! boom! boom!


    ??Taking advantage of the moment when the bodies of the five people were stiff, he shot them to death. Luo An jumped up and quickly climbed up the stairs to the fourth floor. Then he walked straight all the way and quickly moved to the location of the hostages.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    There are emergency lighting facilities in this area. The three enemies who were responsible for guarding saw a black shadow rushing towards them quickly. Without hesitation, they raised their guns and pulled the triggers.


    The next second, in the disbelief eyes of the three guards, the black shadow moved left and right with the help of the load-bearing pillars of the building, moving in front of them at an incredible speed.


    Boom��


    A shock bomb exploded, and the three enemies subconsciously closed their eyes. Luo An then raised his rifle and fired the bullet, causing them to close their eyes permanently.


    ??Moving quickly to the hostage on the ground, Luo An pressed the communicator and said loudly:


    ��The hostages have been found, the trucks are arriving!��


    "clear!"


    Hearing Luo An''s order, Evelin, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately put into gear, twisted the steering wheel and pressed the accelerator to the bottom. The truck roared and backed up suddenly, smashing all obstacles on the road with a roar, and headed straight to the first floor of the building.


    At the same time, on the fourth floor of the building, Luo An quickly untied the rope, reached out and patted the target person��s face, and asked:


    ��Anita, how are you?��


    ??The woman in front of Luo An has a pair of big eyes. She is undercover Anita.


    ?Her originally delicate face was now covered with scars, with purple circles under her eyes and scars at the corners of her mouth. There were also several cuts on her forehead that bled when touched, indicating that she had obviously been tortured by the enemy.


    After being slapped on the face several times by Luo An, Anita slowly came back to her senses, but her eyes were a little distracted:


    "Who are you?"


    ?Luo An frowned slightly. Anita looked like she had been given truth serum, probably quite a bit.


    ?The situation was urgent now and there was not much time to waste. Luo An was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly grabbed Anita, put her on his shoulders and moved her quickly towards the truck, while pressing the communicator:


    ��The hostages have been rescued and everyone is ready to evacuate!��


    There are many enemies in the building. Except for the initial wave of enemies who were killed by unexpected situations, they immediately began to organize an effective counterattack after reacting. This operation was just to save people, and there was no need to confront them head-on.


    "clear!"


    On the first floor, Sean, who was unable to lift his head under the pressure of enemy fire, responded immediately, threw a grenade and quickly retreated to avoid it. Following the route planned in advance, he quickly rushed towards the direction of the truck.


    ? Lacey and Mona in the distance were not in a hurry, because they were far away. They were the last people to leave in the action plan, and the buildings below them had transportation prepared in advance.


    ??Luo An''s retreat went smoothly. He relied on his "emotional perception" to continuously bypass the enemies who were chasing him, and was the second to reach the truck compartment after Sean.


    ?Just after handing Anita to Sean, Conrad''s voice suddenly rang through the communicator, speaking hurriedly:


    ��Everyone! There is a problem with the enemy��s communication device! I need help!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 709： beautiful fireworks

    Chapter 709 Beautiful Fireworks


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ??In the northwest aisle of the second floor of the factory, fierce gunfire sounded one after another, and countless bullets hit the wall crazily. Conrad was suppressed and could not raise his head at all.


    ??Hearing Conrad''s request for help, Luo An immediately moved quickly toward the second floor with Sean, pressed the communicator at the same time, and ordered:


    ��Evelyn, protect the truck compartment! Lacey! Use your sniper rifle to remotely assist!��


    "clear!"


    Evelin shot the enemy in the corner who was trying to get close to the truck. Lacey quickly changed the direction of the sniper rifle:


    "give it to me!"


    At the same time, Luo An led Sean to the second floor quickly, raised his hand and threw two smoke bombs to block the enemy''s sight, rolled on the ground and moved into the room. Sean was cautious and alert, and Luo An asked:


    "what happened?"


    ?Conrad didn��t waste any time. He directly showed the computer screen to Luo An and said in a solemn voice:


    ��This computer is not just a communication device, it is also transmitting and receiving information.��


    Looking at the various flashing interfaces and progress bars on the screen, Luo An frowned, quickly pressed the communicator, briefly introduced the computer situation, and asked:


    ��Mona, is there anything you can do?��


    ��It��s easy, I can make a sync connection!��


    ??Mona at the top of the building thought for a while and immediately came up with an idea. While typing on the computer keyboard quickly, she said:


    ��I told you to do it, first open the main program interface of that computer!��


    ��OK!��


    ?Luo An nodded understandingly. He and Mona had been together for so long that he really hadn��t learned hacking skills, but he had learned a lot about some basic computer knowledge, and he immediately started operating according to Mona��s orders.


    ?Conrad was relieved when he saw this scene, and quickly picked up the weapon to deal with the enemy with Sean.


    The smoke gradually dissipated, and Conrad and Sean were suppressed by fire again, but with Mona''s remote control, Roan quickly solved the computer problem, and a green checkmark appeared on the screen.


    Snapped-


    ��OK!��


    Close the computer screen, put the laptop into his arms, Luo An raised his head and said:


    ��It��s time to retreat!��


    ��The enemy has received reinforcements!��


    ??Shaun dodged the bullets fired by the enemy sideways, and pointed to the stairs that Luo An and Xiaon had just walked upstairs, with a very ugly look on his face:


    ��Five enemies came up there, and our retreat route was blocked.��


    boom! boom! boom!


    Conrad fired a few shots at the enemy, then quickly lay down to avoid the bullets, frowning and saying:


    ��Calculate how much weapons and equipment we still have, let��s find a way to break out!��


    ��No, there are other ways.��


    ?Luo An glanced around and his mind was spinning rapidly. Suddenly his eyes moved, he raised his hand and pressed the communicator, and said:


    ��Evelyn! Drive the truck to us! We jump directly into the car and you drive us away!��


    The room the three of them were in was on the second floor. The truck was some distance from the ground. Jumping from the second floor to the truck might cause injuries, but it would not lead to death.


    ��Here it comes!��


    Evelin quickly returned to the truck cab, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and drove the vehicle into reverse quickly toward where Luo An and the other three were.


    Lacie in the distance kept pulling the trigger, using a sniper rifle to fight off enemies trying to attack her for Evelin.


    ?Chasing all the way, the truck quickly arrived under the room, and Luo An jumped down without hesitation holding the computer in his arms.


    ? Conrad followed closely behind, and Sean finally jumped out of the room and hit the truck bed hard, grinning at the pain caused by the metal.


    ��Evelyn! Drive!��


    ??Kicked Sean to the fender at the edge of the truck. Conrad quickly rolled towards the fender and shouted at the same time:


    ��Leader Luo An, be careful of enemies shooting at us!��


    After receiving the order, Evelin immediately changed gears without hesitation, started the truck and drove quickly towards the factory exit.


    ??The next second after Luo An jumped into the truck compartment, he pulled Anita and hid beside the truck''s fender.


    Hearing Conrad''s words, Luo An looked at the enemies whose heads popped up on the second floor and were about to shoot at them. Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly without any panic. He took out a small remote control from his pocket and pressed it gently.


    Boom! boom! boom!


    ?The next second, the abandoned garbage trucks outside the building, the first, second, and third floors of the building...the places where Luo An passed before were exploded by more than a dozen remote-controlled bombs he installed!


    ?Smoke and dust were everywhere, bricks and stones were flying, and fire was everywhere. The enemies who were about to shoot on the second floor were frightened. The smashed abandoned garbage truck was flying iron shards everywhere, and one unlucky guy was directly stabbed in the chest by the iron piece.    "Wow."


    ?Through the sniper scope, I saw the truck exploding against the background of orange-red flames. Shi Shiran left. Lacey in the distance grinned, pressed the communicator, and said with a smile:


    ��Very beautiful fireworks.��


    "Thank you for the compliment."


    He breathed a sigh of relief, Luo An threw the remote control aside, relaxed his tense body and lay down in the truck compartment, smiling:


    ��Lacie, Mona, pack up and start retreating.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona and Lacey both agreed and started packing their things to go downstairs and leave.


    ?The truck sped quickly with Evelyn driving it. Sean sat up and treated his own wounds, while Conrad moved to Anita''s side to check on her condition.


    ?Luo An stood up, arranged his weapons, and said:


    ��It��s a veritaserum.��


    "Um."


    ?Conrad frowned and pondered for a few seconds. He took out a syringe from his pocket and prepared to **** the outside of Anita''s thigh.


    Snapped-


    Just as Conrad raised his arm, Luo An suddenly raised his hand and grabbed him, his eyes narrowed slightly:


    ��Adrenaline?��


    Conrad did not answer Roan, but asked:


    "has a problem?"


    ��There��s a problem, and it��s big.��


    ?Luo An sneered and said:


    ��Anita has experienced Veritaserum interrogation, and her nerve center has been damaged.


    ?Excessive adrenaline will make her over-excited, myocardial oxygen consumption will increase, and eventually myocardial infarction will not be rescued and she will die on the spot. "


    Luo An was too lazy to take care of the CIA agents'' habitual and remedial behavior when faced with situations, but not this time.


    ?Anita was finally found and rescued, but there were still many circumstances that were not clear. We must not let her die in the hands of her own people instead of the enemy.


    ?Conrad didn''t say anything, just stared at Luo An. Luo An''s expression remained calm and calm, and he and Conrad stared quietly.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and finally Conrad first shifted his gaze, took a step back, retracted his arm, and put away his adrenaline:


    ��What Leader Luo An said makes sense.��


    ??Luo An ignored Conrad. He laid the unconscious Anita flat on the carriage, then pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��Lacie, Mona, how are you doing there?��


    "all the best."


    Lacey smiled and replied:


    ��The enemy tried to pursue us, but we were thrown away.��


    ��Very good, remember to meet at the scheduled location.��


    ����


    Forty minutes later, at eleven o''clock in the evening, further south of Puerto Montt, there was an uninhabited house on the edge of a rural area.


    In the living room, Anita, who had many scars on her body, was lying on the sofa and falling asleep. Evelin squatted next to her and helped her briefly treat the wounds on her body. Not far away, Sean and Lacey were sorting their weapons.


    ??In the restaurant, Mona sat on a chair, her fingers flying on the keyboard of the laptop she brought back from the scene. Luo An stood behind her and calmly brewed coffee. Conrad stood aside with his arms folded on his chest, his face full of seriousness.


    Not long after, Mona made a move, raised her head and asked:


    ��Everyone, there are two good news and three bad news, which one do you want to hear first?��


    ����

 Chapter 710： buyer, seller, identity

    Chapter 710 Buyer, Seller, Identity


    ?At 11:30 in the evening, in a rural area at the southern end of Puerto Montt, the night sky is deep and there is only a slight sound of wind.


    On the edge of the countryside, an uninhabited house turned on its lights today. In the restaurant, Mona''s words made Conrad''s eyelids twitch. Luo An was speechless. He handed the brewed coffee to Mona and asked:


    ��Isn��t it normal that there is one good news and one bad news? What��s the situation with your two good news and three bad news?��


    ?Mona picked up the coffee and took a sip, then smiled:


    ��Life is always full of surprises.��


    Roan only brewed two cups of coffee for himself and Mona. Next to him, Conrad crossed his arms over his chest, calmly licked his chapped lips, and said in a condensed voice:


    ��The bad news first.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona explains:


    ��First, after Agent Anita was given several doses of Veritaserum, she lost her mental state and revealed a lot of information, including her real name, true identity, and target of the operation.


    Second, according to computer records, this information has been transmitted, which means that the underground businessman already knows about Anita''s situation. "


    ?Conrad and Luo Anping were very calm, and their expressions did not change at all.


    ��I��ll tell you the good news again.��


    On the computer screen, there was a half-length photo of a man with a hint of mixed-race face. Next to the photo were a few lines of text. Luo An looked at it and read aloud:


    This organization mainly deals in the trafficking of counterfeit medicines, vaccines, flour, weapons, people, human organs...��


    ��Carlos Zakaria, 44, is one of the leaders of an underground criminal organization in Europe.


    ??Mona tapped the keyboard a few times, turned the laptop around to show the screen to the two of them, and introduced:


    ?Luo An nodded, he turned to look at Conrad and asked:


    ��CIA, do you also have undercover agents in the criminal organization controlled by Zacharias?��


    Lies!


    ?Mona picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, spreading her hands:


    ��The computer connected to this computer, the owner of the computer opposite has average skills, there is some protection in the computer, but the system is old, I hacked into that computer and got a lot of information.


    By the way, you just said there are three pieces of bad news. What is the third one? "


    The second good news is that I continued my investigation following this information and successfully found out the identity of the buyer. "


    "The third bad news is that Anita''s identity has been transmitted. In addition, she was rescued by us tonight. I suspect that the underground merchants will stop this transaction with Zacharias or change the transaction. How and when.��


    ��This organization is really not picky, it��s rare to see such a comprehensive range of services.


    Conrad shook his head:


    ��Sorry, I don��t know about this.��


    After reading the text on the computer, Luo An grinned:


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard a few times, the computer turned around and introduced:


    ��The underground businessman��s name is Rupert, who is also 44 years old this year.


    The owner of the computer also chatted with other people, and they discussed that three days later, he would meet a stranger at Mont Saint-Michel in the French Republic. I suspect that this was the time and place of the list transaction.


    The first good news is that the computer''s location shows that the other party is currently in Belgium, Europe.


    ??Luo An, who had always turned on "Emotional Perception", immediately made a judgment on Conrad''s words, but he was too lazy to expose it. He looked back at Mona and said:


    ��Please introduce the information about the underground businessman in detail.��


    ?His role in the underground world is more like a broker, bridging various forces, and occasionally helping organizations or people who are inconvenient to come forward to sell things.


    ??It is not unusual for Rupert to take the initiative to sell the list like this, but it is not too common. "


    After Mona finished her narration, Luo An pondered for a moment and concluded:


    "Zacharia wanted to buy the list, probably because he wanted to find the undercover hidden in his organization. The real owner of this list may be someone else, and Rupert was just a broker who was pushed to the forefront."


    Mona nodded and added:


    ��It can also be said that Rupert is a scapegoat who was sent to the public.��


    ��This is the kind of money brokers make.��


    ?Luo An smiled, looked at Conrad, and said:


    ��Leader Conrad, do you have any thoughts or suggestions on the current situation?��


    Conrad did not hesitate and said directly:


    ��Agent Mona, show me the information you just said that Agent Anita said and passed on because of the Veritaserum.��


    ?Mona was a little confused, but she quickly brought up the page and showed it to Conrad, and introduced:


    ��Code name Anita, real name Millie Brooke, 29 years old, federal, native of Michigan����


    Before Mona could finish reading, Conrad shook his head and interrupted her, saying:


    ��This information is false.��


    ��?!��


    ??Mona��s face was full of doubts and shock, and Luo An��s brain quickly reacted:


    ��Anti-interrogation training?��


    ?Most truth serum ingredients are midazolam, a sedative drug commonly used by doctors to relieve patients'' anxiety.


    The body will be injected with veritaserum, and the person will fall into a trance, unable to discern the real situation, and rely on the inertia of thinking to answer other people''s questions.


    This also means that if someone has received professional training and has forgotten all true information and only remembers a piece of false information in his mind, then after being injected with truth serum, he will only say these words he knows, and the interrogator will also Unable to tell true from false.


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Conrad took a deep look at Luo An. He did not introduce Anita��s true identity information, but just said:


    ��Millie Brooke��s education records, work records, consumption records, etc., all exist in the federal citizen��s information files, but this person does not actually exist. It is just a false identity.��


    ??Mona curled her lips, lowered her head and continued to type on the keyboard. She was certain that the CIA had definitely created more than one such fake identity. Given the size of the CIA, there was no telling how many more there were.


    After listening to Conrad��s explanation, Luo An realized something else and asked:


    ��You said that the identity of Millie Brooke is a false identity. What do you want to express?��


    ?The fact that CIA agents have false identities in federal territory is not top secret, but thinking about it from another perspective, Conrad has no need to explain this situation at all.


    ?In addition to arousing the curiosity of others and making people want to know Anita''s true identity, Conrad would not get any benefits, so Roan immediately guessed that Conrad''s explanation of this matter definitely had other purposes.


    A flash of surprise flashed in Conrad''s eyes. He didn''t expect Luo An to discover the problem in his words so quickly. He didn''t waste any more nonsense and explained directly:


    ��The identity of Millie Brooke really exists, and the information was obtained by using Veritaserum, so the underground businessman Rupert will most likely believe that this is Anita��s true identity.


    ?Millie Brooke''s identity is unremarkable, and Anita''s true identity is also guaranteed to be safe.


    ?As long as Anita��s true identity is not known to the underground businessman Rupert, Rupert will most likely not change the time and place of the transaction.


    In other words, what Agent Mona found out about the meeting between underground businessman Rupert and criminal organization leader Zacharias at Mont Saint-Michel in the French Republic three days later is highly unlikely. Change, we can go there to arrest next. "


    ����


    ??Mona raised her head and looked at Conrad, her brows furrowed, and Luo An''s eyes narrowed slightly. Both of them realized the problem in Conrad''s words, and Luo An asked:


    ��What is the true identity of Agent Anita?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 711： One on two, heading to Europe

    Chapter 711: One on two, heading to Europe


    ��What is the true identity of Agent Anita?��


    Roan asked, and Mona also looked at Conrad in confusion.


    ??Conrad''s reasoning that the underground businessman Rupert and the criminal organization leader Zacharias will not change the time and place of the transaction is based on the fact that Rupert does not know Anita''s true identity.


    ?This reasoning cannot be said to have any logical loopholes, it can only be said to be completely illogical.


    ??If Conrad is not confused and has a problem, Agent Anita''s true identity is very unusual and can affect the direction of the whole thing.


    ?Seeing the looks from Roan and Mona, Conrad explained:


    ��Sorry, I can��t reveal Anita��s true identity.


    I can only say that the name Anita is also an agent codename, and she has many such agent codenames.


    ?The real strength of Anita is not her true identity, but her identity as an agent.


    She has handled many major cases and activities of CIA supervisors undercover. For criminal groups, once Anita is undercover, it means that the matter has been targeted by CIA executives, and the situation is very unfavorable for them.


    ?The ordinary Millie Brooke is just an ordinary female CIA undercover agent.


    Even if we rescue people, Rupert will only think that this is just a routine operation. After all, the CIA has done many rescue operations.


    ??So Rupert did not discover Anita''s true identity as an agent, and would not think that the CIA''s top brass had targeted him, so he would not change the transaction plan easily.


    The worst case scenario is that when both parties are transacting, both parties should bring more manpower, increase the transaction speed, and leave as soon as the transaction is completed. "


    ����


    After listening to this explanation, Mona frowned even more. She felt that Conrad��s words were indeed logical and reasoning, but there were also many places that didn��t make sense, so she asked aloud:


    ��Leader Conrad, you...��


    As soon as Mona started to speak, Luo An raised his hand to cover her shoulder to stop her words.


    ??Mona looked up at Luo An, who smiled at her, then looked at Conrad and said:


    ��So what Team Leader Conrad means is that we will go to the French Republic and arrest people at the transaction site, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ��OK.��


    After receiving a positive answer, Luo An did not ask further questions, but simply communicated a few words about tomorrow''s itinerary. He and Mona walked out of the kitchen together, asking everyone to take the time to rest and go to each room to sleep.


    An hour later, in the room where Lacey was assigned, after listening to Mona��s description of Conrad��s words, Lacey��s face was suddenly full of doubts:


    ��Luo An, there is obviously something wrong with Conrad��s words, how could you����


    ��Why don��t you expose him or get to the bottom of it, right?��


    ??Roan took over what Lacey said. Lacey nodded repeatedly. Roan smiled, looked at Mona and asked:


    ��How is the investigation going with the surveillance I asked you to help investigate before?��


    ��Have been found.��


    ??Mona left and opened her laptop, typed on the keyboard to bring up a surveillance video, showed it to the two of them, and explained:


    ��This is the dock where Conrad and Sean found the USB drive.


    According to Luo An��s instructions, I successfully found a car that drove into the pier quickly. "


    In the surveillance video, a car quickly drove into the pier, and within three minutes, the car quickly drove away from the pier.


    ��The overall judgment will be based on surveillance videos from other streets...��


    ?Mona called up the map of the entire Puerto Montt area, and then connected the dots and lines on the map where the car appeared on the surveillance video. The final direction was the abandoned factory where they had rescued people before.


    ??Luo An then briefly recounted that when he was on the container crane, he saw Conrad receiving a phone call and then finding the USB flash drive. He laughed:


    ��It��s clear that Conrad had an informant or undercover agent that we didn��t know about.��


    Lacie suddenly realized it and clapped her hands:


    ��The identity of this informant is definitely extraordinary. He not only knows where Anita threw the USB flash drive, but also asked Conrad to find it.


    ??Moreover, this informant also won Conrad''s trust and firmly believed that Rupert and Zacharias would not change the time and place of the transaction! "


    ??Mona also reacted at this time, her eyes widened slightly:


    "So what Agent Anita said just now are all false?!" "No, those are the truth, but they are not the fundamental reason for Conrad to make the decision to go to the French Republic tomorrow."


    Roan shook his head. When Conrad described the situation about Agent Anita, his "emotional perception" was always on, making sure that most of what the other party said was the truth.


    Only said half of it and left half of it.


    ?Mona nodded slightly in silence, Lacey then took a deep breath and asked:


    ��Conrad obviously has information that he is not sharing with us, what should we do next?��


    ��As usual, just do what you have to do.��


    ??Luo An handed Mona and Lacey each a box of large cherries, a specialty of Chile, and said with a smile:


    "As long as you listen to my instructions, leave the rest to me."


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona and Lacey agreed, and after a few brief exchanges, Luo An stood up and left Lacey''s rest room.


    ?As soon as he opened the door and walked into the corridor, the door of another room not far away suddenly opened, and Evelin suddenly walked out wearing only a bath towel.


    ��Good evening, Team Leader Luo An.��


    Seeing Luo An in the corridor, Evelin was also stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and licked her lips and said hello with a smile:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, would you like to come and sit with me? I have some questions that I would like to consult with Team Leader Luo An.��


    Without waiting for Luo''an to answer, the door of the room was not closed yet. Mona, who heard Evelyn''s voice, jumped from the bed, quickly walked out of the room to block Luo''an, and hummed:


    ��Evelin, what are you doing wearing a bath towel instead of sleeping this late at night?��


    ��It turned out to be Mona.��


    Seeing Mona walk out of the room, and seeing Lacey walking next to Mona, Evelin immediately covered her mouth with an exaggerated expression:


    ��One against two? Team leader Luo An, are you in such good physical condition?��


    ����


    ?Mona��s eyes widened for a moment. Before she could speak, Lacey laughed out loud and said:


    ��One to two, Evelyn, do you think this word is appropriate coming from you?��


    Evelin��s face changed slightly:


    "What do you mean?"


    Lacie crossed her arms, the disdain and contempt in her eyes not concealed at all:


    ��What do you think?��


    ����


    Evelin''s face turned dark instantly. Just as she was about to speak, the doors to the two rooms behind her suddenly opened. Conrad and Sean were disturbed by the noise in the corridor and walked out together.


    Everyone in the corridor looked at each other for a moment. Mona and Lacey sneered and went back to their rooms to rest. Roan smiled at Conrad and Sean and turned back to their rooms to sleep.


    Seeing that Conrad and Sean were a little confused, Evelin looked at herself dressed in a bathrobe, cursed a few words in her heart, snorted at the two men, and turned around and returned to her room.


    ?Conrad, Sean: "?"


    ����


    In the afternoon of the next day, a group of people took a flight from Chile to the French Republic in Europe. After arriving there, they entered the reserved hotel to rest, and then began preparations for the operation.


    ??Mona was responsible for monitoring the video, Lacey stayed behind to help, Roan, Conrad, Evelyn and Sean pretended to be tourists and went to Mont Saint-Michel on the coast of Normandy to observe the scene.


    ?Saint-Michel is famous for its amazing monasteries and monasteries. When Roan was visiting, Mona suddenly called him:


    ��Luo An, Lacey and I seem to have found ourselves together.��


    "who?"


    ��I guess it��s the British Empire��s MI6, and Lacey guesses it��s the French Republic��s Seventh Bureau.��


    ����


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 712： The first of the five mountains

    Chapter 712: The First of the Five Mountains


    ?At 10:30 in the morning, due to the Atlantic monsoon, Luo An specially wore warm clothes to visit Mont Saint-Michel.


    Like other foreign tourists, Luo An walked slowly up the stairs to the top of the mountain. After receiving a call from Mona, he walked aside and pretended to rest and take in the scenery, and asked:


    ��Where did you find your ��companion��?��


    ��In the parking lot.��


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone typed on the keyboard a few times and explained:


    ��If you want to go to the Mont Saint-Michel Scenic Area, whether you drive by yourself or take a bus from the train station, you will come to the parking lot in front of the scenic area. This is the only way to go.��


    ��That��s right.��


    Roan nodded. It took about fifty minutes to walk from the parking lot to Mont Saint-Michel. When he was in the parking lot just now, he chose to take the shuttle bus to the scenic spot.


    ??The shuttle bus is overcrowded, similar to some subways during commuting hours, but there are many buses, the speed is fast, and it��s free. Luo An is now a tourist, so he made this choice.


    "That''s it."


    After Mona finished speaking, Lacey took the phone and added:


    Facing Lacey��s worried mood, Luo An chuckled and calmly comforted:


    ��Don��t panic, the leading party in this action is Captain Conrad and his colleagues. I believe they will think it over and think about it carefully.��


    Mont Saint-Michel is a famous monument and Catholic pilgrimage site in the French Republic. It is the third holiest Catholic site after Jerusalem and the Vatican. It has a long history and is included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO.


    Glancing at Mona, who was typing on the keyboard quickly next to her, Lacey frowned slightly and said:


    ��OK, I understand.��


    ��Mona is working hard, but the success rate may not be high.��


    For an underground broker and the leader of a criminal organization to do business in a place like this, it always feels very abstract.


    ?According to the FBI''s work regulations, for arrests like this, the FBI will inevitably contact the law enforcement agencies of other countries to conduct joint operations.


    "Luo An, if those people are really MI6, or the seventh game, then our actions..."


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Can we use surveillance to compare the faces of those people and find out their identities?��


    ��By the way, Roan, did you find any useful clues at Mont Saint-Michel?��


    ?These guys coming out of the car, although they are dressed like tourists, do not look like tourists. They have also been to Mont Saint-Michel in the past few days. "


    To use an inappropriate metaphor, the status of this mountain in the French Republic is similar to that of the top of the five mountains in a country in the East.


    ??However, the circumstances of this case are special. CIA senior officials requested a secret operation to minimize the impact of known people and things.


    MI6 is the foreign intelligence organization of the British Empire. Directorate 7 is the security department of the French Republic. It governs the country''s secret intelligence work. The content of its intelligence activities is equivalent to that of the Federal Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), while its counterintelligence work is similar to that of the Federal Investigation Agency. It''s almost like the FBI.


    ��Mona just invaded the monitoring backend of the parking lot management department. When I compared the recent monitoring with past monitoring, I found some vehicles that seemed a bit abnormal.


    ?Standing on the steps, Luo An looked back at the Normandy overlooking the foot of the mountain from a high position, and said with a smile:


    ��For example, I seem to have guessed the reason why underground businessman Rupert and criminal organization leader Zacharias chose to do business in this place.��


    Luo An didn��t have a lot of experience in this area. He didn��t choose to pretend to understand and bite the bullet, but decisively chose to pass the blame to... and chose to listen to the opinions of Team Leader Conrad. After all, the other party was rich in experience.


    After all, the Republic of France is one of the five permanent members. If those people are really from the Seventh Bureau, the arrest operation will inevitably become very troublesome.


    "There are some."


    Lacie raised her brows, stopped asking about arrangements in this regard, and then said:


    Lacey was also very confused about this. When Luo An said that she had guessed the reason, she quickly asked:


    ��What is it?��


    Luo An smiled and did not answer immediately, but said: "You can come directly to Mont Saint-Michel now. I need you to do something."


    ����


    At nine o''clock in the evening, a hotel in Brittany, a city near Mont Saint-Michel.


    ??In a hotel suite, three people, Luo An and Conrad, sat around the dining table. The dining area was temporarily converted into a conference room to discuss and sort out the clues investigated today.


    There are not many clues. The entire holy mountain is not very big. Except for the monastery on the top of the mountain, there are only many gourmet shops, restaurants, and souvenir shops along the road. It is a standard tourist area configuration.


    The plan formulated by Team Leader Conrad is very simple. They will find a way to transport weapons and equipment in tomorrow. Because they are not sure of the target person''s transaction time, it is easy to alert the snake directly by staying in a hotel in the scenic area, so they need to find a store to "convince" the boss to let them live.


    ��When I came to the French Republic this time, I brought a lot of surveillance equipment.��


    ?Conrad pointed to a metal box in the corner of the room and said:


    ��At that time, we will first install these surveillance equipment in every corner of Mont Saint-Michel. Agent Mona will be responsible for observing the situation, and the rest of us will be responsible for raiding and arresting people.��


    ??The plan was simple and unsophisticated, even straightforward and crude. Lacey and Mona looked up at Luo An, who smiled and said:


    ��Leader Conrad, we still have clues that we need to talk about.��


    Hearing that someone from MI6 or Game 7 might have appeared here recently, Conrad frowned slightly. Evelin subconsciously turned her head to look at Sean next to her. Sean''s face instantly became cold and even became extremely cold. gloomy.


    Mona and Lacey were puzzled, and Roan asked:


    "what happened?"


    Sean stood up and left immediately. Evelin, who was usually a bit arrogant, licked her lips this time and did not dare to make a sound. Conrad was silent for a moment and whispered:


    ��The cause of death of Sean��s wife and mother is directly or indirectly related to MI6.��


    Conrad did not go into details about the specific situation, but this sentence revealed enough information.


    ?Mona and Lacey looked astonished, and Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent for a while, expressing that he understood Sean, but understanding was understanding, and there was no room for error in this action.


    So he suggested that when the operation started, Sean stayed behind to guard the shop owner and the base to prevent accidents.


    Evelin frowned slightly and turned to look at the team leader Conrad. Conrad pondered for a few seconds and nodded slowly:


    "Can��"


    ��No, I object.��


    Before Conrad finished speaking, Sean, who had just left, suddenly returned to the room. The moistness on his face and the water droplets on his hair showed that Sean had just gone out to wash his face. He said solemnly:


    ��Team Leader Greenwood, Team Leader Conrad, and the three ladies, please believe me, I can definitely carry out this operation.��


    ?Mona, Lacey and Evelin didn''t speak, and Roan didn''t speak either. He just turned his attention to Team Leader Conrad who was standing at the front.


    Facing Sean��s firm gaze, Conrad pondered for a while, and finally repeated:


    ��Sean, you are responsible for staying behind during this operation, guarding the shop owner and base, and preventing accidents to the enemy.��


    Sean��s eyes widened instantly, and Conrad��s face was expressionless. The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Sean finally took a deep breath and nodded in agreement:


    "clear."


    ��Good.��


    After the discussion, several people got up and left to pack their things.


    ??Mona returned to her room, and just as she was about to close the door, Luo An suddenly squeezed in behind her, startling Mona.


    ??Grabbing the slap that Mona subconsciously waved to slap someone, Luo An raised his hand to cover her mouth and whispered:


    ��Don��t say anything, I have something to tell you.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 713： Install surveillance, three stores, prepare to arrest people

    Chapter 713: Install surveillance, three stores, prepare to arrest people


    Mont Saint-Michel, with its hilltop church and abbey dating back thousands of years, is a holy place of faith for Christians and an amazing historical monument for ordinary tourists.


    As for Luo An and his party...they have no interest.


    The next morning, after observing the terrain around the church, a few people walked down the mountain and went straight to the path below.


    ?This is a tourist attraction after all, so there are inevitably many shops and restaurants. However, because the road up the mountain is not long, the "commercial street" is only one or two hundred meters long.


    After a brief analysis of the geographical location, the group finally selected a souvenir shop located deep in the street.


    ?Conrad used 50,000 euros and a pistol to convince the shop owner to rent the shop to him for three days.


    ������x3


    Looking at Conrad handing 50,000 euros to the boss, then knocking him unconscious, binding him and stuffing him into the wardrobe, Evelin changed clothes very naturally and became a clerk, Lacey''s eyelids jumped:


    ��You are too skilled at this.��


    ��This is called experience.��


    Evelin smiled after changing into waiter clothes, picked up a very beautiful souvenir that looked like a stone necklace and stuffed it into her pocket, and said:


    "This store can only have one waiter. You guys have to figure out your own identity."


    ��Mona, do you have a way to connect to this surveillance device, or hack into it directly?��


    ?)


    "no problem."


    ??Mona spread her hands and walked directly to the back room with her laptop. Her task was to check the surveillance, and there was no need to disguise.


    Because of Luo An''s special reminder, the two of them did not touch those devices, nor did they enter the monitoring area of ??those monitoring devices. They just silently recorded their specific locations.


    ��Are there any enemies?��


    ?Luo An smiled and asked:


    ??Mona had been on the phone with Luo An. When she heard the lack of footsteps from Luo An, she quickly lowered her voice and asked:


    ?Standing on the side of the wall, Luo An looked at the mechanical equipment in the corner under the eaves through the glass, grinning:


    Luo An then headed to the next location. As soon as he reached the rooftop of the target location, he suddenly frowned and stopped moving forward.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Hearing this, Luo An immediately turned around and left without forcing any further demands. At the same time, he said:


    ��Mona, mark this location on the map.��


    ��Then there��s no need.��


    ��I don��t know, this is just a brand new monitoring device, there is no name written on it.��


    ��The enemy didn��t see it, but he saw the surveillance camera installed by the enemy.��


    ??The installation process of the first few cameras was very smooth. The equipment itself is not big. With Mona''s guidance, Luo An and the other three installed six cameras in less than an hour.


    ?After the signal was successfully linked, Mona guided a few people on the other end of the phone to turn the surveillance camera back and forth, left and right, in order to better observe the situation around the island of Mont Saint-Michel.


    ?Conrad pretended to be the store owner. Luo An, Sean and Lacey took the surveillance equipment in the metal box, left the store, and began to install surveillance cameras in hidden corners of the island.


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone hesitated:


    "Sorry, the distance is too far and I can''t connect. In addition, I''m worried that the other party is checking the surveillance. Doing so may attract the other party''s attention."


    ??Luo An continued to the next location. In the following time, Lacey and Sean also met a brand new camera.


    ?Mona was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and asked:


    ��MI6? Or the 7th game?��


    At noon, the group returned to the souvenir shop.


    There were several customers buying things at this time, and Luo An and the other three casually glanced at them dressed as tourists without paying any attention to them.


    Under the sales clerk Evelin''s witty words, several customers happily spent dozens of euros to buy some souvenirs. After sending a few people away, Evelin also put the money in with a smile on her face. own pocket.


    ����


    Lacey rolled her eyes when she saw this scene. Sean was already used to it. Roan ignored it and walked directly into the room at the back of the store.


    ��You came back just in time.��


    At the table, Mona waved to Luo An, turned the computer screen, showed the map she had compiled to several people, and said:


    ��These are the other surveillance cameras you just discovered. They are in a very good location. Together with the surveillance cameras we arranged, they can cover Mont Saint-Michel.��


    ��This is really����


    Lacey was speechless and didn��t know what to say. Sean was silent. Roan thought for a few seconds, turned to look at Conrad and asked:


    ��Would you like to find the other person and have a chat with them?��


    "Need not."


    Conrad looked calm and said:


    "Our operation this time should not be publicized. No matter whether the opponent is MI6 or the 7th game, as long as we catch Rupert and Zacharias first, we will have the final say on what happens next."


    ? Conrad��s words were domineering and full of CIA style. Sean nodded with pride on his face.


    ? Luo An smiled and said nothing. Lacey and Mona looked at each other and saw the incomprehensible look in the other''s eyes, and then clapped perfunctorily.


    ?The matter was settled like this. In the following time, Mona, Lacey and Sean changed positions to check the surveillance. Evelin was still outside pretending to be a shop assistant selling goods to prevent customers from discovering flaws.


    As for Conrad, he was responsible for pretending to be the owner of the store. When the real store owner in the closet woke up, he would take him to eat something, go to the toilet, and then knock him out again and throw him and the money back into the closet.


    boss:"��"


    ?Time moved forward minute by minute, and soon it was evening, and there were far fewer tourists outside the streets.


    ?Seeing that there were fewer tourists, Evelin sold a lot of souvenirs from the shop owner and made a lot of money for herself, so she planned to close her shop early.


    When Luo An saw this scene, he immediately stopped Evelin''s movement, then called Lacey and asked her to go out and see how many shops were closed at this time.


    ��There are three in total.��


    Twenty minutes later, Lacey returned to the shop and said:


    ��A small restaurant, a small shop selling drinks, and a small hotel.��


    Evelin reacted at this time, covering her mouth with shock on her face:


    ��Leader Greenwood, do you mean that these three closed shops are where people from MI6 or Bureau 7 stay?��


    ��It��s very likely.��


    Luo An nodded:


    ��Everyone is here to perform their tasks, and running the store is just a disguise. Closing the business early is normal operation.��


    Lacie agreed very much. She rolled her eyes at Evelin and said:


    ��There are not many people like you who think about using chickens to lay eggs and make money for yourself when doing tasks.��


    Evelin was not afraid at all, she crossed her arms and spoke plausibly:


    "We gave the boss 50,000 euros, what''s wrong with selling some goods? He should also thank me. If it weren''t for me, how could he sell so many souvenirs while sleeping? I didn''t ask him for the salary to hire me as a waiter. That��s pretty good.��


    ����


    Lacie��s eyes widened, Roan didn��t care about Evelin��s words and asked:


    ��Lacie, are you sure it��s three stores?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Lacie glared at Evelin fiercely, and after answering the question, she was suddenly stunned and realized something was wrong:


    ��How could it be three families?��


    Evelin��s expression changed slightly and she was about to speak when Mona suddenly walked out of the back room:


    ��The target person has come to Mont Saint-Michel.��


    "where?"


    ��The beach is not far away!��


    ??? Before Luo An could continue to ask, the heavily armed Conrad suddenly walked out of the room and threw a gun to Luo An:


    ��Let��s go!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 714： The three parties face each other

    Chapter 714 The three parties face each other


    Mont Saint-Michel, a souvenir shop.


    ��Start taking action! Let��s arrest people!��


    ??Team Leader Conrad rushed out of the innermost room, threw a gun to Luo An, and then ordered Evelin to quickly change her clothes.


    Evelin immediately started to put on a body armor for herself, and Lacey did the same. Roan asked while arranging the equipment:


    ��Mona, what time is it now?��


    ?Mona next to the computer looked at the time and replied:


    ��Seven past five in the afternoon.��


    Hearing this time, Luo An frowned slightly but said nothing. He just turned an inexplicable gaze to Lacey. Lacey didn''t speak either, but nodded slightly.


    ?A few people quickly finished cleaning up. According to the previous plan, Mona sat here and was responsible for sorting out information and monitoring and commanding.


    ?Shaun is responsible for guarding the store owner and protecting the store to ensure that Mona is safe. The rest of Roan, Lacey, Conrad and Evelyn take guns and go straight to the target person.


    As the four of them moved forward quickly, seabirds flew high outside, the sky became very dark, and large dark clouds gathered in the sky in the distance.


    ��The tide is rising?!��


    !!��


    There were no tourists at the viewing point at this time. Only Rupert with three bodyguards and Zacharias with four bodyguards shook hands and discussed at the viewing point, laughing loudly from time to time.


    ��Agent Mona, where are Rupert and Zacharias?��


    Evelin frowned when she saw this scene, and then she realized:


    ?This is the largest tide-watching theater in Europe. When the tide rises, the sea water will rush in with lightning speed, instantly submerging the salt marsh beaches around Mont Saint-Michel.


    ��You can see it just by walking around the city wall!��


    ��??!��


    ?Mona quickly replied:


    ???��


    Seeing that the original tidal flat was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, Conrad frowned. He looked around and found no one. He immediately pressed the communicator and asked:


    Seeing this group of people, Conrad suddenly became happy and immediately sped up his running speed.


    When we reached the foot of the mountain, all the cars originally parked there had disappeared, replaced by the sea water that became slightly black due to the lack of sunlight.


    At this time, Mont Saint-Michel will be restored to a real island in the ocean, as if there is a castle floating on the sea, very dreamy.


    ?Conrad immediately ran to the right, and Luo An and the other three hurriedly followed, quickly bypassing the city wall, and a platform usually used to watch the tide appeared in front of them.


    Climbing up the stairs on the left side of the tide viewing point, before Conrad and others could reach the top of the stairs, several shouts suddenly reached their ears:


    ��At your right hand!��


    ��Don��t move! Put your weapon down! Put your hand up!��


    ?In addition to the church on the top of the mountain, its spectacular tidal phenomenon is also one of the most attractive features of Mont Saint-Michel.


    Conrad was stunned for a moment, Evelin looked stunned, and Luo An looked calm. He quickly bypassed Conrad and took a few steps over the stairs to the viewing point. He raised his weapon and shouted loudly:


    ��Put down your weapons! Get down on the ground!��


    ��OK!��


    ?At the center of the tide-watching platform, Rupert and Zacharias looked shocked. Although it was hard to tell whether it was true or not, the men with guns at the top of the stairs on the other side were even more shocked.


    ?At this time, the mask is not a small tide-watching platform, forming a three-point and one-line pattern:


    The four of Luo An stood on top of the steps on the far left; Rupert, Zacharias and their bodyguards stood in the middle; on the steps on the far right were six white men, also aiming weapons at Ruper Special two people.


    Six white men on the stairs on the right, led by a guy with blond hair above his ears, a severely bald head, and his scalp can be seen when the wind blows. He looks like he is in his forties.


    ??Seeing the four Luo An men standing on the other side, aiming their guns at Rupert and the others, the bald man suddenly frowned.


    He vaguely guessed the identities of Luo An and the others. Just as he was about to speak, another group of guys with guns suddenly came out of the woods behind the tide watching point and shouted:


    "We are in the seventh round, put down your guns! Just surrender!" "..." xN


    The bald man on the right had their eyelids twitching, Rupert in the middle had shock and astonishment on their faces, Conrad and Evelyn on the far left frowned, and Lacey rolled her eyes. .


    Luo An''s face twitched. He had already guessed the identity of the group of bald men opposite. Not surprisingly, they should be MI6 from the British Empire.


    With his eyes flickering, Luo An remembered that Lacey had said that there were three stores that had closed down. He didn��t know who was in the last store.


    After the people from the seventh game came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very quiet. Everyone looked at others cautiously or doubtfully. The four forces formed a T shape. Only Rupert and Zacharias were surrounded in the middle. middle.


    ������x2


    Rupert, Zacharias, and their men had very uncoordinated expressions on their faces at this time.


    When the bald man and the others first came out, they were startled. When Luo An and the others came out, they were also startled. However, they found that Luo An and the bald man did not know each other, and they suddenly felt weird.


    When the people from the seventh bureau showed up and expressed their intention to arrest everyone present, the two of them felt... a little numb.


    ??As soon as Zacharias realized the current situation, he turned around and looked at Rupert, anger rising in his eyes, and he roared:


    ��You betrayed����


    ��How dare you betray me?!��


    Before Zacharias finished speaking, Rupert shouted angrily ahead of him, then reached out, took out a pistol and pressed it against Zacharias'' temple, backed away and shouted loudly:


    "Everyone! Get back! Let me leave! Otherwise I will kill this unruly guy raised by my cousin!"


    ��@*#��%#����


    ?Zakariya, who was held hostage, turned red and became even more angry. He cursed a lot of unknown countries.


    ?The four guards wanted to save people, but the boss was controlled. In the end, one of Rupert''s three men, a white man with a **** chin, led others and drove them to the side.


    The white man with the chin did not choose to kill. Now they are all surrounded. In a sense, the four guards can become cannon fodder to buy themselves time to escape.


    ??The operations of Rupert and Butt-chin''s men made everyone present''s eyebrows jump. None of the four Luo An, the bald man, and others could guess whether the target of the other party''s trip was Rupert or Zacharias.


    ?The only person who can guess the target of the operation is the seventh game on the other side. The seventh game obviously intends to capture everyone present.


    There was a stalemate at the scene. Everyone pointed their guns at everyone else, but no one was the first to shoot.


    The tide soon rose to its highest point. Suddenly, a speedboat came straight to this place in the tide. The moment Lacey saw it, she was shocked and subconsciously turned to look at Luo An.


    Luo An licked his lips and lowered his voice:


    ��We retreat.��


    ��What?��


    Evelin''s face was full of confusion, and Conrad also had an expression of "You have to give me an explanation." Luo An didn''t bother to talk nonsense, he took out two smoke bombs from his waist and threw them out, then pulled Lacey and turned around Just run.


    ����


    ?White smoke instantly spread in all directions. Everyone present was shocked by this unexpected situation. The people from MI6 reacted and rushed into the smoke to prepare for arrests.


    ??As a result, they only found four of Zacharia''s **** men. Conrad and his ass-chin men had already taken this opportunity to jump out of the tide-viewing platform and climbed onto the speedboat.


    ��Help me thank the man who threw the smoke bomb! Goodbye, everyone!��


    ??The butt-chinned man stood on the speedboat, raised his hand with a smile on his face, and the other man immediately started the speedboat and drove away from here at high speed.


    ��Bloody! (British aristocrat��s ��tm��)��


    ??The bald man cursed loudly, but he had to take people away quickly because the group of people from the seventh game behind had already rushed up.


    ??While MI6 was running away quickly, on the other side, Luo An and the other four were also running as fast as they could in an attempt to get rid of the pursuit in the seventh round.


    ?While running, Conrad��s face looked very ugly:


    ��Leader Luo An, you just let Conrad and the others run away, you need to give me an explanation.��


    "I did it on purpose."


    Luo An raised the corners of his mouth and said:


    ��How can we catch them if they don��t run away?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 715： The fourth party force, speedboat

    Chapter 715: The fourth party, Speedboat


    ?North of Mont Saint-Michel, Roan, Lacey, Evelyn and Conrad fled quickly, with several Bureau 7 agents pursuing them in the distance.


    ?However, the two sides ran back and forth without firing at each other.


    ??? Lacey wanted to shoot, but Conrad suppressed it, and said that this is a rule, not shooting is one thing, shooting becomes another thing.


    Lacey suddenly understood why the people in the seventh round had never picked up the speed of pursuit and were hanging so far behind them.


    ?After explaining to Lacey the unspoken rules between the CIA and agents from many countries in the European Union, Conrad then turned to Luo An and asked:


    ��I can understand what you just said. You let Rupert and the others go in order to catch them. The situation at that time was indeed not good for us.


    The problem is, Rupert and the others left in a speedboat, how do we catch them? Where should we go to get it done quickly..."


    Before Conrad could finish his words, Roan and Lacey had already run behind Mont Saint-Michel. Deep in the woods, Roan and Lacey lifted a seaside cover, revealing a somewhat old speedboat.


    ?)


    ��!��


    Selectively ignoring the shocked and surprised expressions on the faces of the Seventh Bureau agents behind him, Luo An drove the speedboat around the shallow tidal flat area and headed straight for the English Channel in the distance in the direction that Rupert and others left just now.


    ��Good.��


    ��OK! OK!��


    As long as the only bridge connecting to the outside world is blown up when the tide rises, the entire Mont Saint-Michel will be a true "isolated island" for more than an hour when the tide rises.


    ����


    "clear!"


    Soon after the speedboat got on track, Luo An handed over the control to Lacey and returned to his seat to sort out his weapons. Faced with Conrad and Evelin��s questions, he answered with a smile:


    ��I thought Rupert or Zacharias wanted to blow up the only bridge.��


    Evelin''s eyes widened when she saw the speedboat, and Conrad had a ghostly expression on his face:


    ��When did you find out there was a speedboat here?��


    ��So I asked Lacey to prepare the speedboat in advance.��


    Lacie threw Gabe aside, Luan started the speedboat, lowered the nose of the speedboat to be level with the water, and said loudly:


    "The people in the seventh game will catch up immediately, and the tide is about to recede. We don''t have much time!"


    ��Rupert��s speedboat was discovered!��


    ?Conrad and Evelin nodded repeatedly and quickly jumped onto the speedboat. Seeing the agents of the 7th Bureau catching up not far away, Luo An immediately changed direction, put it into gear and started, and the speedboat instantly rushed into the distance.


    ?? During the previous visit here, Mona discovered the surveillance video in the parking lot, and Roan also discovered a major publicity feature of Mont Saint-Michel, which is that the tide can come and go quickly.


    ??Taken out an AR-15 automatic rifle from under the seat, loaded it and prepared it, Luo An grinned:


    ��Now it seems that my preparation was very foresight.��


    ��Come up first and then talk!��


    Not long after, Lacey suddenly shouted excitedly:


    Within this hour, if you are well prepared, you can kill people and set fires, erase the traces, and leave calmly.


    Evelin''s eyes twitched, and Conrad''s eyes narrowed slightly. He thought of some other situations, but did not speak. He just gave Roan a thumbs up, and then started to arrange his weapons as well.


    ��It��s not far ahead!��


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction and said:


    ��Catch up!��


    With excitement on her face, Lacey immediately twisted the operating lever to raise the gear to the highest level, leaving a white line behind it. The front of the speedboat tilted up, its speed increased again, and it rushed out like a sharp sword.


    ??The distance between the two speedboats quickly shortened. When Lacey, Conrad and Evelin grabbed their weapons and focused on looking ahead, Luo An suddenly felt something, turned his head and looked behind, and suddenly frowned:


    ��Attention! Someone is catching up from behind!��


    ��What thefu-k?��


    Evelin and Conrad were extremely shocked. They quickly turned around and found that a new speedboat had appeared not far behind their speedboat and was quickly pursuing them.


    "what''s the situation?"


    "Which side? MI6 or the seventh round?" Luo An picked up the scope of the AR-15 and carefully observed the people in the speedboat behind for a few seconds, then handed the rifle to Conrad, frowning slightly:


    ��Looks like he��s from the Republic of Germany?��


    ?Conrad took the rifle and looked carefully through the scope for a few seconds, his face suddenly darkened:


    ��Square face, high nose, deep sunken eye sockets, mainly blue-green eyes, a standard German republican.��


    ?Luo An took back the rifle and smiled:


    ��It seems they are the last people in the store.��


    "damn it."


    Evelin frowned and recalled the situation where Lacey found out that three stores closed their doors early.


    People from MI6 and the Seventh Bureau have just seen that the group of German Republic people chasing them now should, not surprisingly, come from the Federal Intelligence Service of the German Republic, BND.


    ��No, what��s going on today?��


    Hearing the conversation between Luo An and the three of them, Lacey, who was driving the speedboat, couldn''t hold back any longer and complained:


    ��Is it us who have the problem, or Rupert or Zacharias?


    How come people from the British Empire, the French Republic, and the German Republic, the "three old" intelligence agencies, all showed up? Have a meeting? "


    ?Luo An glanced at Conrad, smiled and said:


    ��It may be that the intelligence agencies of these three countries want to unite to deal with the CIA.


    As it turned out, the MI6 group had committed an old habit and was used to being a troublemaker, so the people of the three organizations did not unite and became a mess again, each doing its own thing. "


    ����


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Conrad and Evelin��s faces were full of speechlessness, but they couldn��t refute.


    Because in order to prevent the unification of the European continent and ultimately threaten itself as an island country, the British Empire has been pursuing a policy of stirring up trouble for hundreds of years, causing chaos in the European continent. This kind of thing is known to the whole world, and the image of a great lack of virtue has lasted forever. Strong and deeply rooted in people''s hearts.


    After hearing Luo An��s words, Lacey twitched her lips, suppressed the complaints in her mouth, and asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ?Luo An looked at Conrad and asked:


    ��Does the ��unspoken rule of not shooting�� you told Lacey before apply to this situation now?��


    ��


    ?Conrad said nothing, but silently pulled the safety of the weapon in his arms.


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded, took out the shock bomb from his waist, and said:


    ��Lacie, keep going, we have to catch Rupert and the others first!��


    "clear!"


    Lacie nodded heavily, no longer hesitated, and directly stepped on the speedboat''s accelerator to the bottom!


    On the other side, on the speedboat at the front, Zacharias had his limbs **** and was knocked unconscious, lying on a chair.


    ??The white man with a slender chin glanced at Luo An and others who were chasing after him. He changed his previous behavior, waved his hand and ordered:


    ��Rupert, take out the box under the chair.��


    ?Rupert, who had always been the boss before, nodded, immediately bent down and pulled out a metal box, opened it, and more than a dozen blood bags inside appeared in front of him.


    The butt-chin man threw a dagger to Rupert and said quietly:


    ��Prick them open, and when I make a sign you will throw the box overboard.��


    "no problem."


    ??Rupert immediately followed the butt-chin man''s order and started poking the blood bag, and a strong smell of blood suddenly spread out.


    ? ? After simply comparing the distance, the butt-chinned man began to slow down the speedboat, then reversed its direction and drew a huge semicircle on the sea.


    When the speedboat completely changed direction, the butt-chinned man suddenly stepped on the accelerator and drove the speedboat straight towards Luo An and the others!

 Chapter 716： Speedboats collide and explode

    Chapter 716 Speedboats collide and explode


    To the west of Mont Saint-Michel, there is a slightly narrow mouth of the mainland in terms of the sea. After passing through this ocean and continuing in a straight line, you can reach the English Channel.


    During the chase, the hands on the clock passed eight o''clock in the evening, and the sunlight had disappeared. All navigators on the sea relied on radar or lights to locate or observe their progress.


    The speedboat driven by Rupert and others only had some basic red flashing lights on it. When the butt-chinned man turned around and rushed back, he ran for some distance before being discovered by Luo An and others.


    ��Shit!��


    Lacey, who was at the helm, was startled. Thinking of the consequences of a collision between two high-speed speedboats, she subconsciously slowed down the speedboat and began to deflect.


    ??But the speedboat Rupert and the others were on seemed to be aimed at them. Lacey turned the direction and they also turned the boat''s bow, and it was still heading straight towards them!


    "damn it!"


    ��Fu-kDown!��


    ?Conrad and Evelin��s eyebrows jumped when they saw this scene. Although they can swim, swimming in the sea is completely different from swimming in a swimming pool or lake.


    ?Without the lights, the dark sea under the night sky brings an indescribable psychological pressure to people.


    "Not in a hurry."


    ?Although Conrad and Evelin had their doubts, now was not the time to question, so they had no choice but to follow suit and pick up the rope.


    ��Leader Greenwood, we can hide now!��


    ? ?A collision between two speedboats will inevitably explode. Even if they survive, they will fall into the sea. Hypothermia, sharks, and attacks from survivors are all life-threatening situations.


    Before Conrad could finish his words, Luo An suddenly turned the steering wheel, started the speedboat, put it in gear and stepped on the accelerator. The roar suddenly started, and the speedboat instantly rushed towards the left hand side of the people!


    The moment Luo An''s speedboat changed direction, the speedboat Rupert and others were on also began to turn without hesitation. The two speedboats were traveling at high speed and were approaching each other at a speed visible to the naked eye, and according to their trajectory, they were about to collide. !


    Evelin''s face became paler, Lacey closed her eyes tightly and refused to open them, Conrad''s eyelids were twitching and he was breathing heavily. Unlike them, when he saw that the other party''s yacht turned around, the corners of Luo An''s mouth immediately curled up.


    Boom��


    "clear!"


    Lacie believed Luo An so much that she immediately jumped into the seat behind her and picked up a rope to tie herself to the seat.


    ?Luo An clenched the steering wheel with both hands and narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ??Luo An also understood these things, so when he saw Lacey turning the steering wheel and the other party also changing direction, he immediately got up and jumped into the driver''s seat, grabbed the steering wheel and said loudly:


    Just when the distance between the two speedboats was less than 300 meters, Luo An suddenly shifted into neutral to reduce the speed of the speedboat, then turned the right rudder full and changed direction again.


    ??As the speedboat on which Rupert and others were sitting got closer and closer, the roar of the restless engine and the sound of waves breaking gradually entered the ears of Luo An and others.


    As the red light of the opponent''s speedboat became larger and larger in her field of vision, Lacey took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Evelin''s face became paler and Conrad''s breathing became more rapid:


    One second...two seconds...three seconds came to an end in the blink of an eye. Looking at the growing red light, Conrad''s face became very ugly and he shouted loudly:


    "Leader Greenwood! We..."


    ??The speed of the yacht that Rupert and others were on was too fast. At this time, if the direction was changed forcibly, it would inevitably roll over, so the only choice was to continue to move forward in a straight line.


    Boom!


    Unlike Lacey, Luo An grabbed the steering wheel and did not continue to turn around to avoid or speed up. Instead, he slowly reduced the speed of the speedboat and drifted forward slowly.


    ��Lacie! Go back and sit down! Everyone is holding on tight!��


    Boom!


    �O


    ? Driving at high speed, the two yachts quickly passed each other at very close positions. Luo An avoided other places, and the stern of the boat was hit hard.


    ??The speedboat on which Luo An and the others were was spinning uncontrollably, but overall there was no serious problem. The speedboat of Rupert and others was too fast, and any error would be magnified. The moment the sterns of the boats collided, the speedboat immediately flew up out of the sea uncontrollably and flipped to the right.


    At the same time, the German Republic''s speedboat behind also shortened the distance between the two sides while Luo An was reducing his speed. The five agents on the speedboat also raised their weapons, opened the safety and began to target the four of Luo An.


    Before they could catch up with Luo An and the others, a speedboat flying diagonally across the sea suddenly appeared in front of them.


    ???��


    The pupils of the agents on the German Republic''s speedboat shrank suddenly. Before they could jump off the boat, the yacht with Rupert and the others on board hit their speedboat in mid-air.


    Boom!


    ?Two speedboats collided with a crash, and the sound of the collision was deafening. Even though there was the hum of the engine running next to him, Luo An still heard it very clearly.


    ��Oh, God.��


    Conrad and Evelin, who had walked away from the line of life and death, breathed a long sigh of relief. Lacey also silently wiped the sweat on her forehead, and then gave Roan a thumbs up:


    ��Luo An, you did a great job����


    Boom��


    Boom! boom! boom!


    Before Lacey could finish her words, the next second, an even more deafening and horrifying sound of explosions sounded, and a streak of orange-red fire rose into the sky, instantly illuminating the ocean in this area.


    Immediately afterwards, various flame-contaminated fragments fell from the sky and fell to the sea like fire rain. Some quickly disappeared and sank into the ocean, but more of them just floated on the sea, lighting up this small area of ????the sea like lights. .


    ��What the F-ck?��


    ��Jesus!��


    Seeing the blazing fire on the sea behind and the wreckage of the two speedboats in the fire, Evelin and Lacey covered their mouths in shock, while Conrad frowned:


    "What''s going on? People from the German Republic put a bomb on the ship?"


    Lacie and Evelin looked at each other and saw each other''s doubts.


    All three of them could see that if two speedboats collided, even if the gasoline leaked and was ignited by fire, an explosion of this magnitude would not occur. The only possibility was that there were bombs on the speedboats.


    Behind the three of them, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the flames not far away. After a few seconds of silence, he quickly took out a bottle of [Strength Potion] and a bottle of [Scuba Potion] and drank them before the three of them were paying attention. He handed the heavy weapon to Lacey and said:


    ��You guys wait for me, I��ll go to the sea and have a look.��


    ��


    After Luo An finished speaking, without waiting for Lacey to answer, he jumped directly into the sea.


    Relying on the blessings of [Stamina Potion] and [Scuba Potion], Luo An entered the sea without showing his head to breathe, and quickly moved directly under the sea towards the explosion site.


    The blazing flames on the sea illuminated a small area at the top of the ocean. Slowly approaching, Luo An saw several floating human bodies. With the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An discovered that they were completely gone. Signs of life.


    After a few seconds of silent perception, Luo An took a deep breath and dived under the sea again.


    On the other side, seeing Luo An disappear in the blink of an eye after jumping into the ocean, Lacey''s face was filled with nervousness and worry. She quickly walked to the driving position of the speedboat and said as she walked:


    "Luo An must have gone to the bottom of the explosion site. Let''s go there first and wait for him..."


    Snapped!


    Lacey stopped suddenly before she finished speaking, because a gun was pressed against the back of her head:


    ��Agent Lacey, we should trust Captain Greenwood, what do you think?��

 Chapter 717： Ass and chin, the advantage is mine

    Chapter 717 Butt and chin, I have the advantage


    The burning wreckage of the speedboat is far to the west, and the light of the flames gradually disappears due to the distance here.


    ?Beside a certain floating debris, the sea surface suddenly rippled, and a man''s head popped up. It was Rupert''s man before, a guy with a **** chin.


    �O


    Spitting out a mouthful of sea water, the man with the buttocks and chin held the fragment to block his body and breathed a sigh of relief.


    ? ?The man with his buttocks and chin on his back pulled open the backpack behind him and took out an adult-sized arm-length object with a cylinder in the middle and two fan-like objects on both sides.


    This is the underwater propeller he specially prepared before today''s operation.


    The available range of the underwater propeller is not long and cannot reach the coast, but it is fast enough to leave this area. As long as you leave this area, the rest of the matter will be simple.


    While arranging the underwater propeller, the butt-chinned man glanced at the speedboat area where Lacey and others were, and whispered to himself:


    ��This matter is not over yet, just wait.��


    ?While struggling to swim upstream, he reached his hand to his lower back, preparing to take out his pistol and kill the guy who had startled him directly.


    ��Is it you, the **** CIA?!��


    ��I just discovered the bodies of Rupert and Zacharias, as well as the place where the explosion originally occurred, which was also your speedboat.


    ??The man with the **** and chin was punched by Luo An again and his eyes were filled with stars, his face turned red and he became even more angry:


    ��Who the **** are you?��


    �O


    Struggling subconsciously for a few times, he suddenly felt that the thing holding him was a human hand. The butt-chinned man was stunned for a moment. When he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes suddenly filled with blazing anger.


    ?A few seconds later, the butt-chin man finished his rest, took a deep breath, and planned to start the underwater propeller and leave quickly.


    Luo An, who was hiding under the sea, put the pistol he found from the opponent into his pocket. After making sure that the opponent had no other weapons, he directly raised his fist and hit the opponent''s head.


    Then I got nothing.


    The dark deep sea is one of the specific objects that most human beings are afraid of. Men with **** chins are also like this. For a moment, they only feel creepy.


    ??Luo An clamped the opponent''s arm that was hitting him, kicked the underwater propeller far away, then locked the opponent''s arms firmly, and asked coldly:


    ??The butt-chin man sneered again and again, struggled wildly and kept banging his head back, trying to get out of the predicament of being controlled by hitting Luo An''s nose.


    Obviously, you are the one behind the whole incident. Now that you have been caught by me, is it time to explain your grand plan? "


    ��MotherFu-ker!��


    Just as the man sank his head into the sea, his expression suddenly changed because he felt something grabbing his foot!


    There was a muffled sound at the bottom of the sea. The butt-chinned man felt tears and snot flying out of his nose uncontrollably. But at this time, he saw Luo An''s face clearly, and he shouted in anger and surprise:


    ��Do you think I��ll be like those brainless villains in movies who just answer whatever you ask?��


    ?This place was too far away from where the flames were burning, and it was dark now. The butt-chin man subconsciously struggled and lowered his head, but as a result, he could not see anything clearly except the dark sea water.


    ��You should answer this question first.��


    Luo An was very unhappy. He raised his fist and hit the opponent''s nose hard:


    ��Although I hit you, it��s your fault for swearing. When did I say I was the CIA?��


    ��You are indeed not a villain.��


    Hit the opponent''s waist with a knee, causing the butt-chinned man to scream loudly. Luo An grinned and deliberately provoked the opponent and said:


    "The real villain is sitting in the office, smoking cigars, drinking coffee, accompanied by a bunch of bodyguards, and a bunch of people working for him. ?????You can be considered a security captain at most, just like the one who was killed in the first scene of the movie The protagonist can��t kill any more guys.��


    "ah-"


    The butt-chin man was indeed even angrier when he heard Luo An''s words. He roared loudly but still did not say his name.


    Finally, he suddenly struggled out of the control of Luo An''s left arm. He did not choose to attack Luo An, but instead hugged Luo An, took a deep breath, and pressed Luo An to the bottom of the sea:


    ��Suffocate to death here!��


    Luo An: ������


    Luo An''s eyelids fluttered as he was pushed into the bottom of the sea. Not only did he not break away, but he also helped the butt-chin man adjust his posture to better lock himself.


    ����


    ?Feeling Luo An''s movement, the butt-chin man was stunned for a moment. He realized that Luo An was trying to compete with him in holding his breath, and he immediately sneered.


    He can hold his breath for ten minutes at the bottom of the sea. The butt-chin man will never believe that the guy in front of him, who has nothing but good looks, can hold his breath for longer than him.


    The two of them just spent time like this. Five minutes passed quickly, and the man with the **** chin and Luo An looked calm. Eight minutes passed, and the man with the **** chin looked surprised and suspicious. Luo An not only didn''t panic, but even laughed.


    About nine minutes later, the man with the **** and chin changed his face and began to struggle wildly to float upwards desperately. Luo An stretched out his hand to pull the man back. Don''t worry, give it another ten minutes.


    Hurrah-wow-wow-wow-


    The raging waves kept rolling on the sea surface. After two minutes, the waves gradually disappeared. The butt-chin man completely lost consciousness and fainted.


    ??Luo An casually grabbed the fragment, threw the butt-chinned man on it, and poured a bottle of [Sleep Potion] into him.


    Then Luo An drank the [Strength Potion], [Hemostatic Potion], [Swift Potion], [Strength Potion] and [Scuba Potion] himself, and moved the butt-chinned man to the wreckage of the yacht. He carefully inspected the pistol and dagger on his body , and began to swim towards the direction of Lacey''s speedboat with an expressionless face.


    At the speedboat, Lacey''s cheeks were bruised and there was a lot of blood on her collar. She had a rag stuffed in her mouth and her hands were tied. She was leaning against the very back of the yacht, her eyes widened as she looked at Evelin and Kang. The raging anger in Ladd''s eyes was not concealed at all.


    ��Team leader.��


    ?Looking at Lacey who wanted to bite herself to death, Evelin was silent for a few seconds, then hesitantly approached Conrad and asked in a low voice:


    ��The information shows that Team Leader Greenwood��s comprehensive ability is very good. The incident with Sean also proved this. If we do this, will it..."


    Conrad glanced at her expressionlessly, continued to look into the distance, and said softly:


    ��Greenwood��s ability is indeed very strong, but swimming is a very physically demanding sport.


    No matter what the outcome is, he will consume a lot of energy. Plus Lacey is in our hands. With Greenwood''s habit of attaching great importance to his subordinates, he will definitely be able to catch him without any help. The advantage is on our side. "


    ��So that��s it, why didn��t you let me kill her just now?��


    Evelin nodded suddenly, rolled her eyes at Conrad charmingly, and whispered:


    ��I thought you wanted to have a taste of lesbian.��


    ?Conrad ignored Evelin, but there was a hint of unnoticeable malice in his eyes. Evelin was annoyed, curled her lips, turned around and walked towards Lacey at the back, smiling:


    ��How about it, Lesbian, do you want me to beg you a favor and let you experience what it��s like to sleep with a man before you die?��


    Lacey was speechless with something gagged in her mouth, but the anger in her eyes disappeared, replaced by contempt and ridicule, and emotions such as fear and fear disappeared.


    Evelin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly the hairs on her back stood up as she realized something, and she shouted loudly with fear on her face:


    "Conrad! Greenwood he..."


    Bang!


    Before she finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out. Evelin was instantly shot in the right shoulder and fell into the sea!

 Chapter 718： Conrad: One for one

    Chapter 718 Conrad: One person for another


    ??Northwest of Mont Saint-Michel, somewhere in the sea, a speedboat swayed on the sea with the waves. In the distance were two speedboats that collided and exploded. The raging flames have slowed down a lot with the passage of time.


    boom!


    ��


    A gunshot rang out, and Evelin, who was shot in the shoulder, turned pale with fear and fell into the sea without standing firm.


    Conrad, who was next to him, was startled by the sudden situation. He quickly bent down to avoid it and turned around to look in the direction of the gunfire. He saw a black shadow emerging from the sea behind the side and quickly flipped into the speedboat while holding on to the side of the boat. , rushing towards him like a black cheetah.


    ??The moment he turned over and jumped into the speedboat, Luo An also took out a dagger from his waist, threw it to Lacey''s side with force, and shouted:


    ��Cut the rope and watch the woman!��


    "Um-"


    ??Lacie immediately fell down, grabbed the dagger and cut the rope on her wrist with her backhand. On the other side, Luo An moved in front of Conrad and kicked out with a whip.


    ?Conrad subconsciously bent down and squatted down, raised his hands to his sides, and used his arms to block the whip legs.


    �O


    Click!


    "ah-"


    ??Then Luo An pushed Conrad down, caught Conrad''s right arm with his knee, and violently pushed it back.


    ?But now was not the time to ask questions. Conrad immediately raised the pistol in his hand, preparing to aim at Luo An and pull the trigger.


    ��Don��t kill me! I know a lot of things! I can tell you anything! You can do anything you ask me to do!��


    "you guess."


    The water temperature dropped a lot at night, and the muzzle of the gun on her shoulder made Evelin tremble all over, break out in a cold sweat, and cursed Lacey in her heart.


    ?Feeling the pain in his arms that were even trembling, he looked at Luo An in shock, wondering why Luo An still had so much strength after swimming in the sea for so long.


    Lacie snorted coldly and poked Evelin''s wound again.


    "Do not kill me!"


    Evelyn: ������


    There was a clear sound of bone breaking, and Conrad suddenly screamed. His right arm was forcibly broken by Luo An and the fracture was turned behind his back.


    ��Luo An, what will this woman do next?��


    ?Seeing Luo An swimming in the sea for a few minutes without losing any strength, knocking Conrad to the ground with three punches and two kicks, Evelin shouted with horror on her face:


    There was a muffled sound, and Conrad was kicked directly with terrifying force. He lost his footing and fell onto the chair.


    ??Although Lacey was a little reluctant, she still stretched out her hand to pull Evelin from the sea into the speedboat. She just moved a little too much and accidentally poked Evelin''s shoulder several times where she was shot.


    ??Ignoring the little movement between the two women, Conrad, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, struggled to turn over and sit up, looked at Luo An with a gloomy face, and asked:


    "When did you come back?"


    ?But there was a flattering expression on her face, and she apologized repeatedly for what she had just said, and hoped that Lacey would intercede on her behalf and let Luo An let him go.


    On the other side, Lacey had also cut the rope and picked up the pistol on the ground. She stood on the speedboat and pointed at Evelin��s head floating in the sea and asked:


    ??Luo An was faster than him. Before Conrad''s gun could be fully raised, Luo An kicked out again and directly kicked the pistol to Lesina next to him.


    ?Here, Conrad had completely stopped resisting. Roan groped him carefully to make sure there was no hidden weapon. He stood up and gave Lacey a look.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    ? Seeing Conrad struggling wildly, Luoan hit him hard in the face with three more punches. Conrad instantly vomited blood and burst into tears, and his struggling movements were much smaller.


    ?? Luo An smiled. Not long after he jumped into the sea, the "emotional perception" in his mind discovered that Lacey''s emotions were experiencing huge panic, shock and other negative fluctuations.


    ??Luo An initially thought he had met a new enemy on the speedboat, but later found that Evelin and Conrad had corresponding violent and other emotions, and immediately understood the situation on the speedboat.


    At that time, Luo An''s first reaction was to save people. Later, he discovered that although Evelyn and Conrad had murderous intentions, during the return process, they found that they had **** Lacey and waited for him to come back. He was the real person of the two. The goal.


    Luo An had felt a flash of excitement on the other side of the explosion before. He suspected that someone might not be dead there. After thinking for a few seconds, he made the decision to go to the explosion side to arrest people first, and then return to the speedboat. Plan to save lives. There is no need to explain these things to Conrad, and Luo An was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and said directly:


    ��Tell me, what is your goal and plan for this operation?��


    The pain caused by the fracture made Conrad break into a cold sweat on his forehead, but he remained unfazed, looked directly at Luo An, and said:


    ��Leader Greenwood, there are some things you don��t need to know. Let��s end this matter tonight.


    How about you let me go and in return, I give you that beautiful computer expert in exchange for one person? "


    ??Lacie''s pupils shrank suddenly, and she immediately realized that the computer expert Conrad mentioned was Mona, and thought of Agent Sean who also stayed at Mont Saint-Michel.


    Lacey was very aware of the relationship between Mona and Luo An, and immediately looked at Luo An anxiously. She was worried about Mona''s safety, but also worried that Luo An would take too direct measures in anger. It flashed through my mind but I didn��t know what to say. In the end I just shouted:


    ��Luo An!��


    ��Conrad!��


    ?At the same time, Evelin was also shouting with excitement on her face.


    She heard Conrad''s words "one person for another", and there was no doubt that she was not that "one person", so she shouted:


    ��You can��t do this! We have played together before! Don��t say you were unhappy at the time!��


    ��Shut up! You **** cousin!��


    ?Conrad glared at Evelin with anger in his eyes and said coldly:


    ��You think I don��t know that you and Sean have played together? Sean also knows that you and I have played together, we are just too lazy to tell you!��


    ����


    Evelin��s eyes suddenly widened, but she couldn��t make a sound.


    She always thought that she controlled the two men in the team, but she didn''t expect that the two men had already reached a consensus.


    Too lazy to talk to Evelin, whose face was getting paler, Conrad turned his attention to Luo An again, only to find that Luo An''s expression had not changed at all.


    Conrad��s heart trembled, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind, but he still said:


    ��Leader Greenwood, you...��


    ??Luo An waved his hand to interrupt Conrad, took out his phone, pressed the button, and called Mona.


    Ding dong��ding dong��


    ?Under the nervous gazes of Lacey and Conrad, the ringing soon ended, the phone was picked up, and Mona''s voice came out:


    ��Luo An, how is your operation going?��


    ��It��s okay, generally speaking, it went smoothly.��


    ??Under Conrad''s disbelieving gaze, Luo An gave him a sunny smile and then asked:


    ��Mona, how��s Agent Sean doing?��


    ?? Mont Saint-Michel, in the room behind a certain store, Mona looked at the small bed and hugged the store owner who was also sleepy. Agent Sean was sleeping very soundly. Mona twitched the corner of her mouth and said:


    ��His sleep quality was very high, he must have had a good dream.��


    ��OK.��


    Roan briefly chatted for a few words before hanging up the phone. Lacey breathed a long sigh of relief, while Conrad yelled in disbelief:


    ��Impossible! There��s something wrong with your phone!��


    Luo An didn''t say anything, just looked at him quietly as if he were a fool.


    ?Conrad: ������


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 719： The truth from Conrads mouth

    Chapter 719 The truth in Conrad��s mouth


    In the back seat of the speedboat, Evelin''s whole body fell into darkness, turning pale and lowering her head without saying a word.


    ??Lacie glanced at her, slowly moved to Luo An, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, are you sure everything is okay over there with Mona?��


    "fine."


    ?Luo An smiled and asked:


    ��Do you remember that during the previous meeting, Conrad and the others said that Agent Sean��s mother and wife died at the hands of MI6?��


    Lacey was stunned for a moment and nodded. Conrad frowned and raised his head. Roan looked at him and said with a smile:


    ��This thing is false.��


    When that meeting was held, Luo An discovered through the "emotional perception" in his mind that these words were lies.


    Considering that making up the story itself was of little significance to Conrad and the others, Luo An speculated that they intended to use the story to achieve some purpose.


    ?At the same time, Roan also prepared a pistol for Mona. Mona herself also prepared several grenades and shock bombs for herself in front of Conrad and others. They were actually a cover to divert Sean''s attention.


    Roan did not go into details about the following things. After Lacey was sure that Mona was indeed fine, she put down the big stone in her heart and turned back to continue guarding Evelin.


    Conrad wanted to ask Luo An for a cigarette, but when he thought that Luo An did not smoke, he had no choice but to smile helplessly, let out a long sigh, and said:


    ��Five months ago, one of our CIA operations failed. Not only did we suffer heavy losses in personnel, but we also lost a list of names.��


    ?Conrad was silent for a long time, then raised his head and gave Luo An a stiff smile:


    ��Leader Greenwood, I still underestimated you.��


    During the investigation, a CIA agent Valery was accidentally discovered who survived the operation. The other party was also investigating the list, and had even sneaked undercover to the underground businessman Rupert.


    ?This incident made a senior CIA officer very angry, and the team leader in charge of the operation was scolded bloody.


    ?Luo An smiled, knelt down in front of Conrad, and asked:


    Just in case, before looking for Mona, Luo An found a bottle of perfume and emptied it all. After washing it, he took out a bottle of [Sleep Potion] and poured it into it. When he handed it to Mona, he said it was specially made by him. Some chemical reagent produced.


    ?Seeing Sean''s "sad and angry" response to the order, Luo An immediately realized that Sean was definitely some kind of preparation for Conrad to stay behind deliberately.


    ??Shaun didn��t expect that Mona, who had been busy typing on the keyboard, would take action against him. He picked up the cup and took a sip... and then fell asleep with the store owner hugging each other.


    ��Can we tell the whole story now?��


    ?After some time, the CIA suddenly received news that an underground businessman planned to sell the list, and they immediately launched an investigation.


    ��You are great, Team Leader Conrad. You have been working hard these days to arrest people and make plans. On the surface, it seems that there are really no flaws... I feel that if you go to Hollywood, you will have a chance to win an Oscar after a few years of hard work.��


    ?? Luo An had tinkered with many strange things at home in the past, and Mona was already used to it. She thought it was an item that Luo An had prepared before leaving the Federation, so she took it and hid it with her without any suspicion.


    ?Mona was shocked at the time, thinking that Luo An was going to do something with her at that time.


    ??In the following specific actions, Roan, Lacey, Evelyn and Conrad all left. Mona chose to take the initiative and took advantage of Sean''s inattention by pouring some sleeping potion into his water glass.


    When Conrad was at the dock before, he was able to find the USB flash drive near the skid marks because of the help of the undercover agent.


    ??Mona didn��t know what happened until Luo An briefly explained.


    ?So Luo An suggested that Sean stay behind as a test. As a result, Conrad really made this arrangement.


    ??Mona is also a person who must stay behind. For her safety, Luo An secretly sneaked into Mona''s room after the meeting.


    "Wait a moment."


    ??Luo An raised his hands to form a T, interrupted Conrad, and asked:


    ��Does the CIA agent ��Valery�� you��re talking about have a **** chin?��


    ��butt chin����


    ? Conrad twitched the corner of his mouth. The Western world always likes to call it "beauty groove", "apple chin" or "omega chin". In short, they are all positive words.


    ?But the word "butt chin" wasn''t wrong either, and Conrad finally nodded. ��OK.��


    Luo An''s eyes suddenly flashed, he understood the identity of the guy, and spread his hands:


    "Go on."


    Conrad took a deep breath and said:


    "We have three goals for this trip: to find the list; to kill Valery; and to kill other people who know about it. The reason is that the operation went wrong and it was purely accidental."


    ��Why kill Valery? Isn��t he one of yours?��


    Lacey next to her suddenly frowned:


    ��Also, killing other people...are the three of us other people too?��


    Conrad didn��t say anything, and Lacey was immediately very angry:


    ��Why? Your CIA clearly asked us to participate in this operation, but you still want to attack us?��


    ? Recalling what Valery said when he and Valery fought just now; the reaction and planning of Conrad and others during the entire operation; even MI6, the seventh game, and BND were involved in tonight''s operation...


    ??A thread slowly emerged in Luo An''s mind. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Conrad and said:


    ��Because the original operation failed, there were also reasons within the CIA.


    ?Valery��s trip is for revenge, and your trip is for silence.


    As for the FBI''s participation, the FBI was also involved in the operation at that time, and it fell within the procedural requirements.


    In the end, you will take action against us, the FBI, and claim that he died in an accident or at the hands of the enemy. This operation is very simple for you, right? "


    ����


    ?Conrad said nothing and acquiesced in Luo An''s judgment.


    "damn it."


    Lacie''s eyes became even more angry. She cursed a few words and asked:


    ��What happened to that event five months ago? Did your CIA sell out Agent Valery, or did you have no intention of letting him leave that operation alive?��


    ?Conrad glanced sideways at Lacey without saying anything. Roan suddenly sensed something, quickly pulled out his gun and shouted:


    ��Be careful with Evelyn!��


    With a look on her face, Lacey hurriedly bent down and squatted down, then turned around and was about to pounce on Evelin. The next second, two gunshots suddenly rang out!


    boom!


    boom!


    When the gunfire ended, Lacey successfully knocked down Eve and snatched the weapon from her hand. When she looked down, she found that it was a very small pistol with only one bullet.


    ??Looking up to look at Evelin''s face, there was a bullet hole in the center of her eyebrow, and blood slowly flowed out. Lacey quickly turned around and found that it was Luo An who shot.


    ??The bullet fired by Evelyn missed Roan, but penetrated the side of Conrad''s neck.


    Conrad''s face was full of panic at this time, and he covered his neck with his remaining left hand, trying to stop the blood from flowing out, but the blood was gushing out like a water pump, and he couldn''t stop it at all.


    "Feel sorry."


    ??Lacie stood up and took a look at Evelin''s body, her face was very ugly, and she said in a deep voice:


    ��I just searched Evelin��s body, but ignored that location.��


    ??The pocket pistol was no bigger than a person''s hand, and Evelin''s hiding position was more clever, so it was not discovered by Lacey.


    Luo An didn��t say much, and turned to look at Conrad. The blood flowing out made Conrad��s whole body tremble. He stared at Luo An closely, his voice was hoarse but he spoke quickly:


    "Save me, I can''t die, you must save me, otherwise the CIA will not let you go, they will definitely send people to kill you, you save me, I will explain to you, save me..."


    ??Luo An reached out and took the pistol from Lacey''s hand that he had snatched from Conrad before, and said softly:


    "There is no need to explain. I am worried that you will repay kindness with enmity, so I will send you to confess to God first. You are welcome."


    ��Fu-!��


    boom!


    Looking at the two corpses on the yacht, Lacey wiped her red and swollen face and whispered:


    ��I��m sorry, I didn��t expect this.��


    ��It doesn��t matter, the end result is the same anyway.��


    Roan waved his hand and motioned for Lacey to push the body to the bottom of the sea with him to feed the sharks. He started the speedboat and moved towards Agent Valery. Then he took out his cell phone and called Veranith:


    ��Good afternoon, sir, I need your help.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 720： The truth from Valerys mouth

    Chapter 720 The truth from Valery��s mouth


    Paris, the capital and largest city of the French Republic. When Roan and Mona traveled in Europe in the past, Roan had been here, visited the Louvre Museum where the "Mona Lisa" is located, and had a drink with Mona hand in hand on the left bank of the Seine. coffee.


    Similarly, the whole city was filled with a strong smell of urine; the subway station exuded a disgusting smell; the garbage everywhere on the streets, and the organized team of thieves also left a deep impression on the two.


    Since then, the term "Romantic City" has completely disappeared from Luo An and Mona''s minds.


    Instead is Balenciaga. Its stockings are not only expensive, but they feel really good.


    ?The Federal Embassy in Paris is located at 2, rue Gabriel, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, at the northwest corner of Place de la Concorde.


    This embassy was the first foreign embassy of the Confederation. Benjamin Franklin and other founding fathers served as the earliest Confederate ambassadors to France.


    ?At nine o''clock in the morning, in a conference room on the third floor on the far right side of the embassy building, Veranith was sitting on a chair, looking at the documents in her hands with a very solemn expression.


    ?Due to the time difference, when Luo An called last night, it was still daytime in the Federation. After briefly listening to Luo An''s account, Veranith did not hesitate and immediately took a plane to Paris to deal with the problem in person.


    ??Roan was sitting on the chair opposite Veranith, reading today''s newspaper.


    ?The entertainment news section was selectively ignored by Luo An. He turned his attention to the political and military section, and then saw the media of the French Republic spitting wildly at the British Empire.


    ��Valery has been captured by you, and we will start the interrogation directly.��


    ��Sir, what��s going on with that CIA agent Valery?��


    ??Then various media outlets in the French Republic began to denounce MI6 who had sneaked into their country''s territory to do evil and mess around, causing a very bad impact, and demanded an apology and compensation from the British Empire.


    ����


    ��On my way to Paris, I received new information. The body of underground businessman Rupert was found in a country in South America. After an autopsy, it was determined that he had been dead for more than three months.


    ??Luo An was reading the newspaper and thinking wildly, and Veranith suddenly called out his name. She looked up at Veranith and said in a deep voice:


    In the end, two fists were no match for four. After being surrounded, the MI6 people decisively chose the traditional gentlemanly manner of the British Empire: surrender with their hands raised.


    Seeing that the newspaper was full of MI6, with only a few CIA articles mentioned in the corner, Luo An grinned and understood what the "three constants on the top and two constants on the lower level" meant by the Internet in his previous life.


    .


    MI6��������


    Everything went well on their side, but MI6 was being chased by the people in the seventh game.


    British Empire: ������


    Roan was not surprised by this. Last night''s experience had clearly told him that the real mastermind behind the scenes was Valery. However, there were still many things that were not made clear before Conrad''s death, so he asked:


    In other words, the Rupert you met yesterday is a fake. He may have had some simple facial plastic surgery. "


    During the operation at Mont Saint-Michel last night, Roan finally led Lacey and escorted Agent Valery away easily. Mona and Sean who were sleeping were also easily picked up by the two of them.


    Verineth shook her head. She had already contacted Mr. Clement about this matter, but it would take time to figure out the specific situation, so she said:


    ??The police of the French Republic arrived at the scene where two speedboats collided and exploded. After a simple investigation, the Seventh Bureau contacted the Federal Embassy in Paris to give a warning.


    Embassy building, a basement.


    ��Good morning, Mr. Valery.��


    Lacey was sitting on the side of the interrogation table, holding a laptop and preparing to record. Roan pushed a cup of coffee in front of Valery, who was handcuffed to the chair, and asked with a smile:


    ��It seems that you slept well last night and your face looks very good.��


    ??Valery''s mouth twitched. His eyes were now purple, his cheeks were bulging, there was gauze on his nose, and several teeth were missing from his mouth. He really didn''t understand how Luo An could tell that he looked good. Seeing that Valery didn��t speak and Luo An wasn��t angry, he smiled, picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said:


    ��The information we have found shows that you are a defected CIA agent. Can you tell us about your defection experience?


    We can use your experience as a case study to teach new people. "


    ?Valery��s face turned even colder:


    ��Is your method of stimulating generals so crude and crude?��


    ��Not rough, not crude.��


    ?Luo An smiled and waved his hand:


    "It''s not a provocation. You''re overthinking it. I''m just telling you a fact.


    When our interrogation is over, you will be handed over to the CIA. You will definitely know whether you are alive or dead by then.


    ?Instead of dying a worthless and suffocating death, why not tell us more and we can help you summarize it into a classic case.


    Although your body will be burned to ashes by then, the spirit of the traitor can be passed on forever. It can be regarded as living from another perspective, isn''t it? "


    ??Chatting with Luo An sometimes makes one��s tooth hurt. Valery��s eyelids were shaking. After taking a few deep breaths, he finally couldn��t hold it anymore and said:


    ��First of all, I am not a traitor, and secondly����


    ��Secondly, it doesn��t matter what you say.��


    Roan waved his hand to interrupt Valery and spread his hands:


    ��Children all know when writing a composition, what about the time? What about the place? What about the details? What about the background of the story?��


    After a few seconds of silence, Valery stared at Luo An and said coldly:


    ��We were betrayed during that operation five months ago.��


    Valery said that the target of the operation five months ago was the leader of the underground criminal organization, a major criminal team under Zacharias.


    ??The plan for that operation was very thorough, but on the night of the operation, they encountered an ambush and were attacked by the criminal team in a sneak attack. All members of the group died. Only he escaped by jumping into the sea at the critical moment.


    After recuperating for a period of time, Valery began to investigate and found that the criminal team had received the news and laid an ambush long before their operation began. The source of the news was not their action team, but someone from the CIA. a general base.


    After hearing this story, Luo An yawned and said:


    ��There are some unremarkable plots, and the next step should be for a lone hero to kill all kinds of agents, and finally come to the mastermind who betrayed his men, shoot him in the head, and finally retire to the countryside and live leisurely.��


    ��That��s a movie you��re talking about.��


    Valery��s head was covered with black lines and he said speechlessly:


    ��The CIA base has countless security equipment, weapons and equipment, as well as dozens of agents. There are also military facilities nearby to provide support at any time. How could I possibly kill them all by myself?��


    ??Luo An nodded. Valery''s combat ability was indeed average, so it was indeed a bit difficult for him to do this. Luo An then asked:


    ��So, what��s your plan?��


    Valery said that the base was in another country, and there were many leadership personnel in the base. He could not tell which high-level executive had spread the news that night. The kidnapping investigation was not realistic for him.


    It happened that on the night of the operation, he took away the list without everyone��s knowledge, and an idea slowly emerged in Valery��s mind:


    Contact the CIA base, saying that he is not dead, and found that the list is in the hands of an underground businessman...


    Hearing this, Luo An''s eyes narrowed slightly, and Mona looked strange: the story seemed to become a matryoshka doll from here on.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 721： matryoshka, end, medicine

    Chapter 721 Matryoshka Doll, End, Medicine


    Before the interrogation, Mona learned from Roan and Lacey what Conrad said last night.


    ?One of Conrad''s and his others'' purposes was to silence and get rid of Valery. They knew that Valery''s undercover incident was a fake, but they just pretended not to have any suspicion, pretended not to know, and even used his hand to investigate and track it.


    ??Valery��s words just now showed that he knew that the CIA base would doubt him and would send people to silence him, but he also pretended not to know and provided clues just to lure Conrad and others into taking the bait.


    Both parties are actors, I know you know, and then pretend not to know...


    ?Mona thought for a few seconds, only to feel a headache, and was a little dizzy from the matryoshka doll between the two parties.


    Luo An quickly figured out these things. The matryoshka doll between the two parties was not too difficult for him to understand, but there were still some things that were not clear. Luo An then asked:


    ��What��s going on with Zacharias?��


    ��Zakariya was the guy behind the target of that operation five months ago. All my teammates died at the hands of his men, so he must die!��


    ??Valery''s face was gloomy. His previous plan had been going well. He first killed the underground businessman Rupert, and then asked his subordinates to have his face modified, disguising himself as Rupert, and himself disguised as Rupert''s subordinate.


    ? After successfully blowing up the CIA agents, Zacharias, fake Rupert and others, Valery will deliberately leave the list at the scene for MI6 to obtain.


    ?After briefly asking for a moment, Luo An led Mona out of the room.


    ? Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly. He discovered a problem in Valery''s plan, that is, MI6 seemed unable to keep any information. The secrets it knew would be known to others from it.


    ����


    ?Valery grinned and said:


    MI6��������


    ?This plan has nothing to do with their FBI, but the names of many undercover FBI agents are on the list. Once their identity information is leaked, you can imagine the fate of those undercover FBI agents who are around drug dealers.


    Then contact Zacharias, talk to him about the list, and agree on the time and place of the transaction, which is Mont Saint-Michel.


    After Valery finished narrating, Roan narrowed his eyes and smiled:


    ��So I also informed MI6 about the list through some means.��


    ??And MI6 knows the news about the list, the Seventh Bureau of the French Republic, the BND of the German Republic, and even the SVR of the Russian Federation must also know, and they will also participate when the time comes. "


    ??The list was completely leaked, which would inevitably lead to a large number of casualties. It was impossible for the CIA executive to escape higher-level sanctions, and Valery successfully completed his revenge goal, killing three birds with one stone.


    ?Former Agent Javari Evans: ������


    ??Coupled with the fact that Valery didn''t care about human life at all in his words, as if he didn''t care about killing a chicken, it immediately made Mona feel cold. These people in the CIA are really not good people.


    ??The list was found by Luo An last night. It was a small USB flash drive in the mouth of Zacharias'' corpse.


    ??Mona''s face was also very ugly. She thought of what Conrad and others had done to Roan and Lacey before.


    ��In doing so, you only killed the CIA agent who came to arrest you.


    ?The CIA executive who betrayed you seems to have suffered no damage. "


    After hearing Valery��s plan, Veranith in the next room frowned.


    ?As long as MI6 gets that list, it will be equivalent to the French Republic''s seventh game, the German Republic''s BND, and the Russian Federation''s SVR all getting that list.


    In the end, he lured people from the CIA to the transaction site and asked them to kill Zacharias in a chaotic battle. He then used the bomb he had prepared in advance to kill the CIA, fake Rupert and others. He had to fake his own death to escape, and went to other places anonymously. local life.


    ��According to the habits of the British Empire MI6, as long as they know about the list, they will definitely get involved.


    ?According to Valery''s original plan, last night''s battle was supposed to be a melee between CIA and MI6, with a seventh game at most.


    As a result, he never expected that he was caught by Lu''an, a guy who was not planned at all, and was caught by him.


    MI6 didn��t even catch up at all. Instead, they were chased everywhere in the seventh game...


    Roan and Luo An walked out of the room, and Veranith also walked out from the next door. Mona nodded and turned to leave. Roan smiled and asked:


    "Sir, what should we do with Agent Sean?" Sean''s situation was very simple. He only slept for one night, and when he opened his eyes again, he heard that Conrad and Evelin had died unexpectedly at the hands of the enemy last night.


    ?At the same time, he himself was arrested. The reason Luo An gave him was that he was suspected of betraying the news of the operation, which caused the deaths of Evelyn and Conrad.


    ?Shaun: ������


    ��I��ll ask someone to deal with him.��


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Veranith looked indifferent and replied casually, then said:


    "Luo An, please take the people here to stay for a few days and keep an eye on Valery. I will handle the rest."


    ��Yes, sir.��


    Luo An nodded and then added:


    ��Sir, please pay attention to safety and call me if you are in danger.��


    "I will."


    ??The corners of Veranith''s eyes relaxed a little, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She simply nodded and turned around to leave.


    ?Sent Valery into the holding room where he was the only one, Luo An walked to the side room, where Mona was treating the wounds on Lacey''s face. Luo An asked:


    "how''s it going?"


    ��Fortunately, the appearance is not disfigured.��


    Lacie forced out an ugly smile, but she was in a good mood and her tone was relaxed:


    ��After I recover, my face won��t stop me from going to the bar.��


    ?Luo An took the medicine Mona needed and handed it over, smiling:


    ��I��m still in the mood to go to the bar. It seems that the situation is not serious.��


    ??Lacie chuckled, accidentally pulling the wound on the corner of her mouth, and immediately grinned in pain.


    Mona''s bandaging skills can only be said to be average. She can definitely handle the wound, but it is difficult to guarantee her external image. She quickly wrapped Lacey''s head in a big circle, revealing only two blinking eyes. .


    ����


    Lacie was very speechless and silently decided to treat the wound in the next few days, asking the beautiful girl from the infirmary not far away to come. Then she raised her head and said:


    ��Luo An, there��s something I want to ask you for help with.��


    "you say."


    ?Luo An said while helping Mona sort out the medicine:


    "You don''t have to worry about guarding Valery. I''ll be here. And I also called Winslow and the others. The three of them will arrive at noon."


    ��That��s not the case.��


    Lacie shook her head subconsciously, and stopped quickly because the wound on her face was a little painful from being pulled.


    ??Taking a few deep breaths to ease the pain, Lacey reached out and pulled Luo An to her side, whispering:


    ��What I want to say is that the chemical reagent you gave to Mona before was the one that made Agent Sean sleep like a corpse. That colorless and odorless transparent liquid...can you give me a little bit?��


    Luo An was stunned for a moment, leaned back and looked at Lacey, frowning slightly:


    ��What do you want it for?��


    ��I��ve been a little insomniac lately and can��t sleep well at night.��


    Lacie pointed to her eyes and said:


    ��Look, I have dark circles under my eyes.��


    ����The circles under your eyes are purple.��


    Luo An was speechless, frowning and guessing:


    ��You don��t want to use it to drug the girl, do you?��


    ��No, no, I��m not that kind of person!��


    Luo An looked at Lacey suspiciously. Lacey smiled awkwardly and whispered:


    ��I have been chased by my neighbor��s big dog several times recently, so I plan to give it some medicine and give it a good beating when it falls asleep.��


    Luo An: ������


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 722： Laceys logic, follower

    Chapter 722 Lacey��s logic, a follower


    ??The colorless, odorless and transparent chemical reagent that Lacey mentioned was the [sleeping potion] that Luo An had put in the perfume bottle and left for Mona.


    Luo An was very speechless about Lacey wanting to drug the neighbor��s dog, and asked with some confusion:


    ��The community where your villa is located is a high-end community. If your neighbor keeps a dog without a leash, you can report this to the community autonomy committee and let them deal with your neighbor.��


    Community autonomy is also a major feature of the Federation. Communities where wealthy people live will always jointly spend money to install protective facilities, install surveillance, etc., and even hire professional security personnel to maintain the safety of the entire community.


    "Forehead��"


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Lacey blinked and explained in a low voice:


    ��You know, I like to have parties, but a few times I made the sound a little too loud, which accidentally caused the neighbors to report it.


    I lowered the volume of the party later, but the neighbor still raised the dog to scare me, so..."


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��You ��lowered the volume��, how much specifically did you lower it?��


    Lacie was a little embarrassed and shifted her gaze slightly:


    ��The speaker has lowered the volume by three steps.��


    ����


    ��Who?��


    ?Seeing the helpless expression on Luo An��s face, Lacey hurriedly explained:


    ��That��s why I asked you for that reagent.


    Luo An rolled his eyes speechlessly. He had seen the speaker from Lacey''s house, with a total volume of twenty levels.


    ??Every time Lacey turns it up to full, lowering the volume by three levels cannot be said to make the sound immediately smaller, it can only be said to be better than nothing.


    Glancing at Mona, who was still sleeping soundly, Luo An walked out of the room with his cell phone, yawned, and pressed the answer button:


    After a few simple greetings, the task of guarding Valery was handed over to them. The three of Luo An had been busy for several days and needed a good rest this time.


    At 4:30 in the afternoon, Luo An was sleeping when his cell phone rang suddenly, waking him up instantly.


    "Now?"


    Veranith��s voice on the other end of the phone was a little cold, and she said directly without any nonsense:


    ��You guys, take Valery immediately out of the French Republic and back to the Federation. The plane has been prepared for you.��


    ��It��s me, Verenith.��


    Achieve multiple things with one stroke, and all parties are satisfied, how wonderful. "


    ?Luo An suddenly became energetic and frowned slightly:


    ����


    You see, I had a party and I was happy; my neighbor let his dog chase me, and he also vented his emotions;


    I stunned the dog in a place where the neighbors could not see it. Not only did it complete its duties, it could also sleep and rest, and it was not even likely to bite others, causing the neighbor to need to compensate.


    ��That��s right, now.��


    ??Luo An finally rejected Lacey''s request. Firstly, the situation of the [Sleep Potion] was somewhat special, and secondly, being chased by the dog was entirely Lacey''s fault. Stunning the dog would not fundamentally solve the problem.


    After Lacey finished speaking, Mona��s eyes widened and she was speechless. A few black lines appeared on Luo An��s forehead and he complained:


    ��I suddenly feel that you are a little underqualified working in the FBI. You should become a lawyer.��


    ?Verenice spoke quickly:


    ��Immediately, immediately, all the people with your investigation team leave the Republic of France, and we will explain later.��


    "Um?!"


    A few hours later, Michelle, Winslow and Chenille chartered a plane and arrived at the Paris embassy together.


    ��Yes, sir.��


    ?Luo An nodded in agreement with a serious face, and Veranith hung up the phone without saying anything more.


    ?Looking at the phone in his hand, countless thoughts flashed through Luo An''s mind. At the same time, he quickly returned to the bedroom and patted Mona''s arm:


    ��Mona, wake up, it��s an emergency.��


    "Um?"


    ??Mona opened her eyes and was a little confused. Luo An briefly explained to her, asked her to change clothes quickly, and then called Chenelle.


    ?Winslow, Michelle and Chenelle immediately took action and were responsible for escorting Valery to the airport.


    ??Mona went to wake up Lacey, and when the two of them went downstairs, Luo An also started the car. When the two women got into the car, Luo An immediately stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car quickly headed towards the airport. Speeding all the way, the three of Luo An quickly arrived at the airport mentioned by Veranith, and the three of Winslow just escorted Valery to the bottom of the plane.


    Without any greetings, Michelle and Lacey hurriedly escorted Valerie onto the plane. Winslow and Chenelle walked up to Luo An, frowning:


    ��Luo An, what happened?��


    "I am not sure as well."


    ??Luo An shook his head, and then he looked at the smoke that suddenly appeared not far away and the convoy below the smoke. He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued:


    "But if I guess correctly, these followers who came to the airport with you should be people from the seventh game."


    ?Winslow and Chenelle''s expressions instantly darkened. When they were driving just now, they did not realize that they were being followed.


    ?Mona frowned and said:


    ��Let��s get on the plane and get out of here.��


    ��I want to, too, but it��s obvious that the other party won��t let us go.��


    Luo An pointed at the convoy not far away, and saw that the convoy on the opposite side was divided into two. One part went to Luo An and others, and the other part went straight to the front of the plane, blocking the runway for the plane to take off.


    ? Winslow, Chenelle and Mona looked even more ugly. Roan''s eyes moved slightly and he waved his hands to signal the three of them to calm down.


    ?Three SUVs quickly arrived in front of Luo An, stopped and lined up. Four white men in suits got out of the two SUVs on the left and right, vaguely surrounding Luo An and the others.


    ?In the middle SUV, four white men also got out. The white man at the front was tall but thin, with short brown hair and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.


    ��Hello, Captain Roan Greenwood.��


    ??The man in sunglasses walked up to Luo An, grinning with a smile that was 70% sincere and 93% fake:


    ��My name is Andre Clement Von and I��m from the seventh inning.��


    Hearing that the other party''s last name was "Fon", Winslow, Cheniel and Mona all had an inexplicable look in their eyes. They knew that this was one of the well-known noble surnames of the French Empire before the French Republic.


    ��Hello, Mr. Andre.��


    ?Luo An smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other person and said:


    "Nice to meet you."


    ��Sorry, I��m not very happy.��


    ? Andre''s eyes narrowed. Luo An shook hands with the other person and was about to let go. But Andre not only did not let go, but instead grabbed Luo An''s hand and pulled hard...


    Without pulling, Andre staggered a step forward.


    ������xN


    ??The scene was quiet. Under the different eyes of everyone, Andre''s face gradually turned rosy. Luo An''s mouth curled up slightly and he coughed lightly:


    ��I don��t know that Mr. Andre brought people here today. Is there anything you need our help with?


    ? Just ask if you have any needs, and please rest assured that we will definitely provide you with all support except help. "


    ������xN


    The scene became quieter, and the agents from the seventh bureau looked at Luo An in astonishment.


    ?Andre��s eyebrows were beating and he lowered his voice and said:


    ��Roan Greenwood, you are indeed a talent.��


    ?Luo An had a sunny smile on his face:


    "Thank you for the compliment."


    ��I��m not complimenting you.��


    ?Andre''s face darkened, and he lowered his voice and said seriously:


    "What happened that night at Mont Saint-Michel, you CIA..."


    ��I��m sorry, Mr. Andre.��


    ?Luo An quickly interrupted the other party with his hand, shook his head and said:


    "I''m not the CIA. There are certain things you shouldn''t say carelessly, and you shouldn''t take the blame carelessly."


    ����


    ?Andre''s eyes became even more angry. Just as he was about to continue talking, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 723： Return to the Federation

    Chapter 723 Return to the Federation


    ?The ringing of his cell phone made Andre pause slightly. He took out his cell phone, looked at it, and hung up the phone.


    ��Roan Greenwood.��


    ?Andre raised his head while holding the mobile phone and stared at Luo An with a serious face:


    ��I don��t care if you are the CIA or the FBI, I want to tell you, I hope...��


    Jingle Bell-


    Before he finished speaking, Andre''s cell phone rang again.


    ����


    There is a saying that once you make great efforts, you will be exhausted again and again.


    ?First interrupted by Luo An, and then twice by the ringtone of his cell phone, Andre''s brewing emotions were completely lost. The smile on Luo An''s face was very sunny:


    ��I think you should answer the phone first, Mr. Andre.��


    After giving Luo An a hard look, Andre picked up the phone and said coldly:


    ��It��s me, Andre.��


    ��It feels so amazing.��


    ��Roan Greenwood, I hope this is the last time you will enter the French Republic through illegal means, do you understand?��


    Luo An didn��t explain much about what happened next, and Lacey didn��t continue to ask. They briefly talked for a few words and then sat back down.


    ??The content of that phone call was most likely from a superior above Andre, forcibly ordering him to let Luo An and others leave.


    When Veranith called before, the background sound was obviously hollow. Luo An suspected that she made the call in the bathroom. Things that made her so anxious could only be related to politics.


    ?Luo An smiled:


    "I also hope that."


    ?In the end, the matter was no longer an ordinary case, but turned into a political game among the people above.


    ?Andre snorted, and Roan smiled and waved to the agents behind Andre, and then led Winslow, Chenelle and Mona onto the plane together.


    ?Stepping out of the airport and getting into the car, Lacey stretched her waist vigorously and complained:


    ��When we left, we were heading to the south of the earth, but in the end we came back from the north of the earth.��


    ��So the earth is a ball.��


    ��Tr��sbien (very good)��


    An older man''s voice rang on the phone, speaking a lot of French. Andre didn''t say a word during this period. He only replied "I know" at the end and hung up the phone.


    ��To lose one��s temper in an unhappy manner.��


    ?Taking a deep breath, Andre waved to a few cars in the distance. The cars immediately started to leave, making way for the plane to clear the runway. Andre turned to look at Luo An and said in a deep voice:


    ??Roan smiled and combined what happened just now. He guessed that the interception just now was most likely a decision made by Andre Clement Von himself.


    ?The flight went smoothly and successfully arrived in Washington, D.C., a few hours later.


    Roan was not surprised by this. This case involved a wide range of intelligence agencies from the Federation, the British Empire, the French Republic, and the German Republic.


    ��Luo An, what are these people doing today?��


    Luo An replied casually, then glanced at the messages on his phone and said:


    ��You guys take the people back first, and I��ll go to the FBI headquarters in Washington.��


    The plane started up and sped forward for a moment before slowly rising into the sky. Several people looked through the windows at the convoy of vehicles on the runway below, which was turning around and leaving quickly. Lacey asked in a low voice:


    ��OK.��


    ?The people separated halfway, and Luo An walked into the FBI headquarters in Washington and went straight to Mr. Clement��s office.


    Seeing Luo An arrive, the secretary at the door stood up with a smile and nodded to him, then opened the office door.


    ??In addition to Mr. Clement, there are two white men in suits in the office.


    ??The white man on the left, with half black and half white hair, is Lewis Quinnier, who had a relationship with Roan after the previous [Salles case] was over, and is also a friend of Mona''s father.


    ??The white man on the right looks to be in his fifties. He has combed his brown hair into a meticulously slicked back. When he saw Luo An walking into the room, his face suddenly dropped. Entering the room, Luo An greeted Mr. Clement first:


    ��Good evening, sir.��


    Mr. Clement said:


    ��This is Lewis and this is Kamren, both from the CIA.��


    ?Roan nodded towards Lewis Quinnier, who smiled and nodded in response. Kamren asked directly without any nonsense:


    ��Leader Greenwood, what was the cause of Conrad and Evelyn��s death?��


    ? Luo An blinked and said the answer he had prepared:


    ��They were killed by a sneak attack by the enemy.��


    ��Where is the body?��


    ��Unclear.��


    Luo An shook his head:


    ��Former CIA agent Valery put a lot of blood in that sea area. After interrogation, he learned that it was cow blood.


    As we all know, cow blood can easily attract sharks, so the bodies of Conrad and Evelyn... Sorry, I don''t know what happened to them. "


    ����


    ?The air in the office was very quiet. Kamren stared at Luo An with a gloomy face.


    Roan looked indifferent. He was telling the truth. The people who killed Conrad and the people who killed Evelin were indeed enemies as far as they were concerned.


    ??Camren was silent for a long time, then stood up and nodded to Mr. Clement and walked out of the office. Lewis stood up and patted Luo An on the shoulder with a smile before leaving the room.


    The office door was closed, and Luo An turned to look at Mr. Clement:


    ��Sir?��


    ��It��s okay, don��t worry.��


    Mr. Clement showed a satisfied smile, handed Luan a folder, and said:


    "This case is not easy. You handled it very well. Thank you for your hard work."


    Roan smiled and took the folder, opened it and found several letters inside. Mr. Clement introduced:


    ��These are letters of thanks from some of our special operations teams within the FBI. They are very grateful to you, Team Leader Luo An, for the fact that the list was recovered.��


    ?Different from the CIA, most of the FBI agents on that list are close to some drug lords or criminal organizations


    Once the list is leaked, those agents will not survive tomorrow, and these investigation teams will also suffer heavy losses. The undercover network that took months or even years to build will only collapse completely.


    In addition to letters of thanks, these investigation teams also had other expressions.


    It��s not appropriate to just give money, so they sent a lot of special products to Luo An��s special investigation team. Most of these investigation teams are at the border or abroad, so all kinds of special products are all kinds of weird. At the speed of FedEx, it is expected to be shipped within three Deliveries will continue throughout the month.


    Luo An smiled and closed the folder. He didn��t pay too much attention to the specialties, but asked:


    ��Sir, what happened to Kamren just now?��


    ��Sent by the CIA to show off.��


    Mr. Clement waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating to Luo An not to worry, and explained:


    ��This case was obviously caused by some unscrupulous people within the CIA, and they themselves were not justified.


    ?However, the two CIA agents died in this case after all, and the proper investigation procedures need to be followed.


    ??Kamren did it deliberately to show you just now, trying to pressure you and make you say something he wanted to hear, but unfortunately, you let him down. "


    A flash of realization flashed in Luo An��s eyes, he smiled and said:


    ��It��s good that you��re not disappointed, sir.��


    "Hahaha��"


    Mr. Clement laughed loudly, raised his hand and nodded at Roan, and then added:


    ��Tomorrow, **** Agent Valery to our FBI��s temporary prison. This case ends here, and the follow-up will be handed over to Veranis. Your special investigation team will resume vacation status, and the deadline for vacation is to be determined.��


    ��Yes, sir.��


    Roan was about to turn around and leave when Mr. Clement suddenly asked:


    ��By the way, I remember your hometown is Boston?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 724： Top student Luo An, Alumni Association

    Chapter 724 Top student Luo An, Alumni Association


    ��That��s right, sir.��


    Mr. Clement��s question made Roan stunned for a moment, but he still answered:


    ��I was born in Boston and spent my entire academic life in Boston before moving to New York.


    After coming to New York, he worked on Wall Street for a period of time before joining the FBI. "


    ��Yes, I remember you are a top student who graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Boston.��


    Mr. Clement nodded, rummaged around on his desk for a moment, and finally found a light blue folder, handed it to Luo An with a smile, and said:


    ��I heard from Veranith that since you came to the FBI and became an official agent, you have been busy with work.


    Although I have taken vacations and traveled, my circle of social contacts is not very large, which is not good. "


    Luo An took the folder, opened it and found that it contained an introduction to a private club, and asked with some confusion:


    ��What do you mean, sir?��


    ��You are a top student who graduated from the University of Massachusetts. You must know the alumni association.��


    Roan suddenly nodded and understood what Mr. Clement meant, but he was not sure about one thing and asked:


    ��Sir, those who can enter this club have a high social status. I am just the leader of a special investigation team.��


    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? operations


    But he is too young. He is not yet thirty years old this year, yet he has led his detectives to achieve the shocking figure of 100% case detection rate.


    ??The leader of this latter club has been taking turns, and the selected leader must be affirmed by the majority of the members in the club.


    Mr. Clement smiled, pointed at the folder and said:


    ��This is a club specially founded by a certain senior who graduated from the University of Massachusetts and later made over 100 million yuan through his own business a few decades ago. All members are alumni of the University of Massachusetts.


    ??Whether it is the status you have achieved as a team leader at your age or the crime detection rate you have led your team members to achieve, it is an absolute success. "


    In addition to liking fishing, not liking meetings, and habitually using the bus for private use, Luo An does not smoke, drinks alcohol but is not addicted to alcohol, has strong physical skills, excellent marksmanship, strong fighting ability and political acumen, takes care of his subordinates, treats his subordinates fairly, and is loyal to his superiors. He''s quite handsome...


    Mr. Clement felt that Luo An would definitely achieve higher achievements than him in the future. He had also thought about introducing girls from his family to Luo An and binding Luo An through marriage.


    ? Luo An smiled and closed the folder:


    ��Thank you for the compliment, sir.��


    purely comparing social status, Luo An can only be said to be average.


    It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the political camp and the economic camp of the Federation, and connections from either side are useful.


    ?But after looking around, he found that those girls were either too young and had not yet gone to school; or they had corrupt private lives and were not worthy of Luo An; or they were too old for Luo An to be attracted to, such as Veranith.


    ? Mr. Clement��s meaning is not difficult to understand. He just wants Luo An to visit this club and expand his contacts.


    Mr. Clement shook his head, then leaned forward, crossed his hands on the table, and said seriously:


    ��You are the leader of a special investigation team with a 100% detection rate. Don��t forget this prefix.��


    Thinking of it at the end, Mr. Clement felt sour in his stomach. He unconsciously compared himself when he was young with Luo An now, and found... It seems that except for his appearance when he was young, which was slightly better than Luo An, everything else was better than Luo An. but.


    ��No, Luo An, you are not the leader of the special investigation team.��


    Reciprocating a favor, helping each other, and expanding your network resources little by little can you go further.


    ?In addition, people from other universities cannot enter this club, nor can ordinary students who graduate from the University of Massachusetts. Anyone who wants to enter this club must have success. "


    ?With no choice but to do so, Mr. Clement had no choice but to help Luo An gain more connections now.


    Coughing slightly, suppressing the envy in his heart, Mr. Clement explained:


    ��I just said that anyone who wants to enter this club must have success.


    Mr. Clement nodded, pointed to the folder and said:


    ��I will find someone to ask for an invitation to join the membership later. The time should be next month or the month after that. Remember to attend on time.��


    Luo An had a serious face and said in a deep voice:


    "I''ll be there on time, thank you, sir." "Yeah."


    Mr. Clement smiled with satisfaction, and after a few brief greetings, he asked Luo An to leave the office. He would go to the White House next, and the President wanted to see him again.


    Mr. Clement took the people away, and Luo An was walking on the way to the "Insomnia Building", looking at the folder in his handbag and lost in thought.


    Alumni associations are a major feature of the Commonwealth. For example, the University of Michigan has more than 400,000 alumni and has the largest alumni association organization in the Commonwealth.


    ?In addition to these alumni associations for ordinary students, there are also many alumni associations that have high requirements on the social status, amount of assets, influence, etc. of the members. Mr. Clement introduced the latter to Luo An.


    ?There are many benefits to joining this kind of alumni, whether it is connections, resources, or simply information that ordinary people have no access to, which can be of great use in many cases.


    But Roan remembered a sentence: Gul''dan, what is the price?


    ?Most alumni associations have their own regulations. For example, they must be proud of their identity as an alumni association, such as helping to clean up the venues or facilities of the alumni association at certain times.


    ?These are just ordinary alumni associations. The private club-type alumni association in Luo An��s hands will inevitably have more stringent requirements.


    ??Luo An could feel that this was Mr. Clement''s goodwill towards him, and he simply wanted to cultivate himself, but some things were not entirely beneficial to him.


    ?Walking into the building and stepping into the elevator, looking at the slowly beating red numbers, Luo An shook his head and temporarily put aside the thousands of thoughts in his mind.


    ?This matter is not urgent. At the moment, the troublesome Valery should be thrown into the FBI''s temporary prison according to Mr. Clement''s request.


    Ding-


    ??The elevator door opened, and Luo An stepped out of the elevator and went straight to the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    As soon as he opened the door, a pillow fell from the top of the door and hit him on the head.


    Snapped-


    ??Slapping the pillow away with a casual slap, Luo An looked at everyone in the office area speechlessly and asked:


    "who?"


    ?Mona, Chenelle and Michelle did not speak, but silently turned their gazes to Lacey aside.


    ����


    Lacey, who had gauze wrapped around her head, was a little embarrassed, but others couldn''t see her face clearly. They could only see her eyes blinking wildly:


    ��Sorry, I thought it was Winslow.��


    Luo An was not here just now, Winslow and Lacey started fighting. Lacey didn''t fight, so she took advantage of Winslow to go out to buy supper for everyone, and got a pillow at the door to scare Winslow. .


    Luo An picked up the pillow and threw it to Lacey, saying speechlessly:


    ��You only have right eye socket turning purple now, do you want your left eye socket to turn blue?��


    ??Lacie took the pillow and smiled but did not answer. Chenelle asked:


    ��Are there any arrangements at the headquarters?��


    ��Two words: give it away and take a holiday.��


    ??Roan briefly explained Mr. Clement��s arrangement and would start taking action as soon as Winslow came back. While waiting, he leaned close to Mona and whispered:


    ��You can go to Boston with me in a few days.��


    ��OK.��

 Chapter 725： Monas anxiety

    Chapter 725 Mona��s anxiety


    Massachusetts, Boston, south of Brookline area, high-end villa area, a luxury three-story villa.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    ??On the first floor of the villa, in a gym on the left, Luo An was wearing boxing gloves and beating the sandbag hanging in front of him.


    At this time, one month has passed since the previous case of Agent Valery.


    Everyone in the special investigation team has been on vacation. Winslow spends time with his wife and son at home every day, and Michelle spends time in the library again.


    On Chenille''s side, it was said that a man was chasing her, and the two were chatting pretty well; on Lacey''s side, they were still having a lot of fun, and seemed to have even dragged the neighbor''s daughter to a party she was throwing, which almost caused the neighbor to get a shotgun. .


    After the incident, Roan and Mona rested in the villa in Washington, D.C. for a few days, then took a plane to Boston, where they have stayed until now.


    �O


    With a muffled sound, Luo An punched hard and knocked the sandbag away.


    ??Taking a deep breath, Luo An took out a new sandbag and hung it on the chain. However, he did not continue to hit. Instead, he took off his gloves, briefly cleaned the flying sandbag, and then walked out of the gym and headed to the bathroom.


    ?For half a month and fifteen days, Mona never left the villa and became a homebody.


    ??Whether it was Agent Valery��s true identity, his plan to kill two birds with one stone, or the ulterior motives of Conrad, Evelin and others, they all left a deep negative impression on Mona.


    ?This program was quickly withdrawn and cleared by CIA technical staff, but Mona wrote down the operating logic behind it, so she planned to develop her own facial recognition system based on the program.


    ??? After a brief shower, Luo An changed his clothes and walked up to the second floor. He raised his hand to knock and then opened the door to Mona''s room.


    Because he failed to find useful information in time, the members of the special investigation team were deceived by the enemy and died in a pool of blood...


    ??It happened that during the investigation of Agent Valery''s case, Mona borrowed the identity record of CIA agent Roland to log into the CIA''s database and briefly used the miniature facial recognition program developed by the CIA.


    ??This time, because of Luo An''s careful thinking and precautionary measures, they successfully defeated Valery''s plan and also killed Conrad.


    ��A facial recognition system.��


    Mona didn��t even look at Luo An and said without raising her head:


    ��Give me a glass of water, thank you.��


    Luo An sighed helplessly and went out to help Mona get a glass of water and bring it to the room. Then he stood behind Mona, looked at the characters on the computer that kept flashing and jumping, and asked:


    ��Can you tell me what you are doing?��


    ??In the room, Mona was wearing simple pajamas, with messy hair and no makeup. She was sitting at the computer desk with her fingers flying and typing frantically on the keyboard of her laptop.


    ?Of course, Mona cannot directly connect to the depths of the CIA, FBI, DIA, CSS and other major federal law enforcement internal databases, and those technical staff are not just for free.


    ???Thinking of Luo An''s corpse, unable to close its eyes and staring at her, Mona found it difficult to breathe and was so flustered that she couldn''t sleep at night.


    Seeing Mona��s extremely conspicuous dark circles, Luo An��s face was filled with speechlessness:


    As long as we leave the Federation, we are almost blindfolded and cannot detect many things. "


    But what about next time? Who can guarantee that Luo An will never make a mistake?


    ��Hurry, hurry, give me a few more days.��


    ����


    ��This case of Agent Valery made me discover one thing:


    ��It��s been more than ten days, Mona, isn��t it time to go out for a walk?��


    Mona took the water glass and drank it in one gulp, then licked her chapped lips and said:


    She just tried to develop a shadow identity using the real identities of people who had permission to read the information.


    ??Then use the shadow authority of these people to log into the databases of those law enforcement agencies to conduct investigations at critical moments.


    ?Mona did not directly explain these latter thoughts to Luo An. She felt that Luo An was tired enough and she had to bear part of it for Luo An.


    ??Luo An sighed, bent down and hugged Mona and kissed her ear. He could feel Mona''s restless mood and vaguely guessed some of Mona''s thoughts. He wanted to comfort Mona, but he didn''t know what to say. Because even if he has a system in his mind, he really can''t guarantee that he will make the right choice all the time.


    At the critical moment, he can protect his life, but what if Mona is too far away? What''s more, there are other people in the special investigation team.


    Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. Luo An was silent for a long time and finally said nothing more. He just smiled and asked in a low voice:


    ��What do you want to eat for lunch? I��ll buy it for you.��


    ��Lobster roll and clam chowder, I��ll have two.��


    Mona raised her head, kissed Luo An on the lips, and said with a smile:


    ��Plus a side of maple fruitcake.��


    "no problem."


    ?Smiled and kissed Mona on the cheek, Luo An helped her tidy up her messy hair, and then returned to her bedroom to start changing clothes.


    ?Going down the stairs into the garage next to the villa, the orange-red Dodge Hellcat sports car lay lazily on the ground like a tiger. Luo An opened the door and got into the driver''s seat to get ready to go.


    Dip��Dip��Dip��


    ?At this moment, some harsh vehicle horns suddenly sounded in front of the villa gate.


    ?Luo An frowned slightly, got out of the car and walked towards the gate, and found a pink Porsche sports car lying across the gate.


    Seeing Luo An open the door and walk out, the driver''s door of the pink Porsche sports car was opened immediately.


    ??A young girl wearing a white dress, a little over 1.6 meters tall, with a very big conscience, a delicate face, and a little baby fat, rushed towards Luo An with a smile on her face:


    ��Good morning, dear!��


    ��Then the young girl made a fuss.


    ??Luo An took a slight step to the left to avoid the young girl''s hungry attack, and asked:


    "Who are you?"


    ��I��m Sweety!��


    ??The young girl who was thrown into the air was a little angry. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Luo An with her hands on her hips in displeasure:


    ��Don��t you remember? I even beat you before!��


    Luo An: ������


    Sweety, the English letter Sweety, is a name that is easily misunderstood with the rise of the Internet age.


    ?Luo An thought for a moment and remembered the identity of the other party.


    ?When I was in elementary school, Sweety''s family lived next door to Luo An''s family. The relationship between the parents was good, but the relationship between Sweety and Luo An was not so good.


    ?Because Luo An had not yet grown up at that time, he was small and thin, and he was often bullied by Sweety, who was taller than him and a little fatter than him.


    ?Later, Sweetie''s family moved away, and Luo An was happy for a long time. At first, he always thought that Sweetie would grow to 1.8 meters or even 1.9 meters, but he didn''t expect that now she only grew to a little over 1.6 meters.


    ?But seeing Sweety��s heavy conscience, Luo An��s eyelids twitched and he understood the final direction of those nutrients.


    ��Good morning, Sweety, long time no see, you have become more beautiful.��


    ??Remembering the identity of the other party, Luo An could not pretend not to know him, so he simply said hello and asked directly:


    ��What do you want from me today?��


    ��After so many years of not seeing each other, you have become so direct.��


    ?Sweeti rolled her eyes in displeasure, and just as she was about to speak, Mona suddenly walked out of the villa and asked with a smile:


    ��Luo An, is this your friend?��


    ������x2

 Chapter 726： club

    Chapter 726 Club


    ?At this time, Mona walked out of the door of the villa, no longer in her pajamas.


    Not only did she put on a round-neck vest with vertical stripes and padded **** that showed off her figure, but she also put on a pair of high-waisted jeans underneath, which made her thighs look slender and long.


    ?Hair was **** and some light makeup was applied on the face. The dark circles under the eyes were not completely covered, but he looked very energetic and did not look like he had stayed up late at all.


    ����


    Luo An''s eyelids jumped when he saw Mona changing into this outfit in the blink of an eye, not knowing what she was thinking.


    Before he could speak, Mona, who was over 1.7 meters tall, walked up to Sweety. She looked at Sweety condescendingly, smiled and stretched out her hand:


    ��Hello, Mona Evans, Roan��s girlfriend.��


    ??Tilting her head up and shaking hands with Mona, Sweety puffed up her chest and laughed:


    ��Sweetie Williams, Roan��s good friend since childhood.��


    ��When you were a child?��


    ??Mona narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Luo An. Luo An nodded expressionlessly and said:


    ��My neighbor when I was a child, she always bullied me.��


    ??Mona glanced at the invitation letter and she knew about the Alumni Club. She didn��t say anything more. She just snorted and walked back to the villa, and added:


    "You are so direct and don''t even invite me to sit in the villa. Luo An must have been taught bad things by you."


    As soon as the words fell, the Porsche sports car roared, and Sweety quickly rushed out in the sports car, and her figure quickly disappeared from the eyes of the two of them.


    But I need a female companion to attend the dinner. If necessary, please remember to call me. The number is on the portfolio. Bye. "


    "snort."


    Before she could perform the verification, Luo An forcibly tied her to the bed, let her rest and fell asleep, and then helped her handle the simple follow-up content.


    Luo An agreed and planned to buy five portions, because if he only bought three portions, he would definitely not be able to eat one bite.


    ��We also have some acquaintances in Hollywood, so there��s no need to trouble you, Miss Williams.��


    By the way, do you want to go to Hollywood? I have a lot of acquaintances there, and more than ten years later, I will have a chance at an Oscar. "


    But the complexity of the program exceeded her expectations, and Mona underestimated the time she would need. She didn''t finish writing the entire program until Tuesday of the next week.


    ��OK.��


    After saying that, Sweety opened the car door and sat back. After driving the sports car to change direction, she looked at Mona up and down, and then said to Roan with a smile:


    ��By the way, there is only one invitation letter, and only one person can participate.


    Boom��


    ??Mona asked with a bright smile on her face:


    ��I wonder if Miss Williams is here today. What��s the matter?��


    ��It��s just a fight between children, not bullying.��


    ��Don��t forget to buy that maple fruit cake, but this time I want three portions.��


    ??Roan opened the file bag and took out an invitation letter from it. It was exactly what Mr. Clement said before, a private club for graduates from the University of Massachusetts. The time was next Wednesday at seven o''clock in the evening.


    ?Sweeti smiled, let go of Mona��s hand, turned to look at Luo An, and said:


    ��It��s just that I didn��t expect that Luo An, you were so thin and small before, but now you have become so tall and handsome. Many male stars in Hollywood cannot compare with you.


    ����


    ?Time is moving forward day by day, and Mona still stays in the bedroom like a homebody and doesn''t go out.


    ?Sweeti wrinkled her nose in displeasure, turned and walked back to her pink sports car, took out a file bag and handed it to Luo An, saying:


    ��I��m sending you an invitation to a dinner party. Remember to attend on time.��


    After sleeping from 4 pm to 9 am the next day, Mona recovered a lot of energy. After a few hours of rest, Mona started the verification process. Luo An also changed into a suit and drove to the club.


    The location mentioned in the invitation letter was in a wealthy area in the southeast of Boston. When Luo An arrived at the specific location in a Dodge Hellcat, he found that the location belonged to a wealthy area in a wealthy area.


    The ��club�� itself is even more exaggerated, just like a row of townhouses by the sea.


    ?Taking the outer fences and protective measures as boundaries, this club is completely a small community near the sea.


    At the door of the club, which looked more like the door of a community, a white man in a fine suit slowly stopped Luo An��s Dodge Hellcat. He bent down and showed a very kind smile and said:


    ��Good evening, sir, please show me your invitation.��


    ??Luo An handed the invitation letter to the other party. The white man did a few operations on the computer nearby, then returned the invitation letter to Luo An, then handed Luo An a card and key, and said with a smile:


    "Welcome, Mr. Greenwood. Your villa tonight is No. 33. Turn right at the intersection ahead. Do you need a navigator?" said a man with long blond hair, a delicate face, and gold-rimmed glasses. A young woman wearing a black women''s suit, with the skirt of the suit slightly below the knees, and black stockings on her slender calves, walked over from the side.


    Luo An''s eyes moved slightly. He was about to refuse, but he quickly thought of something and nodded with a smile:


    ��Of course, let her get in the car.��


    "OK."


    ??The white man waved his hand, and the beautiful woman immediately got into the passenger seat of the Dodge Hellcat from the other side, and a faint scent of fragrance drifted in.


    Luo An started the car and moved forward slowly. The woman introduced herself while guiding the way forward:


    ��Good evening, Mr. Greenwood, you can call me Felicia.


    I am your navigator tonight. I can answer all your questions. "


    ��Good.��


    Luo An drove the car slowly and turned around the intersection and asked:


    ��Tell me about your schedule tonight.��


    ��We don��t have a schedule here, Mr. Greenwood, your itinerary is up to you.��


    Felicia shook her head and added:


    ��But tonight there will be a party at the beach bar south of the club at eight o��clock and it will last until midnight.


    At 8:30 p.m., the golf course in the north of the club will officially open until 11 p.m.


    ?At nine o''clock in the evening, there are yachts in the west part of the club going out for night fishing, and the night fishing time will last until three o''clock tomorrow morning.


    9:30 pm, East of the Club..."


    Felicia listed more than a dozen activities in a row, including food, drink, and entertainment. There were no rules forcing members to choose which one, but after choosing one, members had to wait until the activity was over before they could leave.


    ?The Dodge Hellcat quickly arrived at the door of Villa No. 33. Luo An parked the car and did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, he looked at Felicia in the passenger seat and asked:


    ��The navigation is over, do you have other responsibilities?��


    "certainly."


    Felicia smiled and replied:


    ��I will be responsible for answering all your questions tonight, and I will do my best to meet your reasonable needs.��


    ��Reasonable needs?��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��Then what are ��unreasonable demands��?��


    ?Felicia��s smile remains the same:


    ��Naturally a violation of federal law, as well as a violation of state law.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An smiled, did not discuss this topic too much, and then asked:


    ��Then if I ask you to help me drive, is it a legitimate need?��


    Felicia was stunned for a moment, nodded and replied:


    "certainly."


    ??Luo An opened the car door and got out of the car, letting Felicia drive. He got into the passenger seat and said:


    ��You just introduced a total of seventeen activities and seventeen locations.


    Now, you drive and take me around these seventeen places. Stop only when I ask you to stop, otherwise keep driving. "


    ? Felicia: ������

 Chapter 727： Luo Ans choice, gold coins

    Chapter 727 Luo An��s choice, gold coins


    ??On the path between the single-family villas, the Dodge Hellcat was moving slowly. The smile on Felicia''s face was a little stiff, while Luo An''s face was calm, and he was enjoying the sea breeze leisurely.


    ??After Felicia''s introduction just now, Luo An discovered that the club''s action plan tonight was very similar to the copy in some games.


    The difference is that in some games, dungeons always exist and can be cleared one by one.


    The "dungeons" of this club have a time limit. You can choose up to two in one night, one in the first half of the night and one in the second half of the night. The others can only be given up.


    This also means that the right activities must be chosen to maximize benefits.


    Why did the manager of the club design this? Is it to test the quick thinking of the new members, or to test the luck of the new members? Luo An doesn''t have much information at the moment, so he can''t guess at the moment.


    ??If he couldn''t guess, he simply stopped guessing. Luo An decided to go through them one by one and decide which one to choose based on the situation.


    ?However, the distance between the various event locations was a bit far and driving was a bit tiring, so Luo An gave the job to Felicia.


    Felicia''s head was full of black lines at this time. She thought that Luo An might make many demands on her, even some excessive ones, but she never expected that Luo An would just let her drive!


    Felicia was murmuring crazily in her heart as she drove. After passing eight event venues in a row, Luo An suddenly said:


    ��Stop!��


    Felicia put away her cell phone and continued driving. In a room behind the villa at Site 11, an elderly white man with gray hair and a wrinkled face sat on a chair, turned to look to the side and asked:


    ��Have you contacted that little guy in advance?��


    ?Luo An stepped out of the car without hesitation, patted the door and said:


    On the other side, an elderly white man with brown glasses on his nose and a wrinkled face looked at his friend with some disdain and said:


    ��Park the car at the door of Villa No. 33 and pick me up when I call you.��


    The gray-haired old man put his mobile phone aside, with a sad expression on his face:


    "I heard that this little guy is not yet thirty years old, only twenty-seven or eighty-eight years old. He is really an enviable age... His father didn''t seem to be as good as him when he was young."


    Seeing Luo An showing no interest in her and leaving without looking back, Felicia muttered a few words with an unhappy face. After turning the sports car around, she took out a small mobile phone from the back of her waist and pressed a button. The button was pressed.


    "yes."


    ��OK.��


    He is either very lucky, or has a very high IQ, or he can discover things from details that ordinary people cannot. "


    The phone was quickly connected, and an old male voice sounded:


    ��Which one did he choose?��


    ��Do you think I would do such a boring thing?��


    ��Only one time, he asked me to drive around all the event venues. When I arrived at No. 11, he asked me to park the car and chose this place.��


    ��Obviously, Roan Greenwood��s 100% crime detection rate is not a gimmick made by Clement.


    ����


    ??The elderly white man wearing brown glasses glanced at him, picked up the red wine on the table, took a sip, and said:


    ��Let��s go out and meet him for a chat.��


    ??The breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly became slightly rapid, and he quickly hung up the phone without saying anything more.


    Felicia immediately showed a bright smile and replied:


    ��There��s a card game going on tonight in compliance with Massachusetts law, starting at ten o��clock.��


    ?Felicia immediately stepped on the accelerator and stopped the car. Luo An pointed to the single-story villa not far away and asked:


    ��What��s going on there tonight?��


    Felicia replied in a solemn voice:


    ��Site 11.��


    ����


    ��How many times did you choose the decision you made?��


    "Do not worry."


    ?The gray-haired elderly white man waved his hand and said:


    ��Let him play cards outside for a while, and we��ll talk to him after he loses a few games.��


    ??The elderly white man with brown glasses glanced at his friend with disdain:


    ��Aren��t you tired of your method of attacking other people��s emotions again?��


    ?The gray-haired elderly white man smiled:


    ��As long as it��s useful.��


    ����


    At the same time, in the villa hall with only one floor, Luo An opened the door and walked in. The magnificent decoration and several conspicuous card tables immediately appeared in front of him. ��Good evening, Mr. Member����


    Luo An walked into the hall, and a service staff immediately walked up. But before he finished speaking, a pretty girl walked up and waved him aside. Then she looked at Luo An with a smile and asked:


    ��Why don��t you call me?��


    ?The girl has a great conscience, it is Sweeti. Luo An lowered his head and smiled at her and said:


    ��Sorry, I accidentally forgot.��


    ����


    ??Sweeti rolled her eyes and was too lazy to dwell on this matter. She just took Luo An��s arm and walked toward the hall, asking as she walked:


    "How did you choose this place? Where did you find the clue? Can you share it with me?"


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and said:


    ��What clue?��


    ?)


    ?Sweeti was stunned for a moment, raised her head and looked at Luo An in surprise:


    ��You didn��t find any clues? How did you get here?��


    ? Luo An actually used the "emotional perception" in his mind to discover familiar emotional fluctuations in this one-story villa.


    ??Furthermore, the positive emotions of the people in this villa were much happier than those in other places. Combined with the rules mentioned by the guide Felicia before, Luo An immediately concluded that this was most likely the correct place.


    ?But there is no need to explain these, Luo An spread his hands:


    ��Maybe I have better luck.��


    "Wow."


    ??Sweeti looked at Luo An with admiration. She knew that Luo An was here for the first time and there was no need to lie to her about this kind of thing. She gave Luan a thumbs up and introduced as she walked:


    ��It��s a little game in our club where every two months when we get together we randomly assign prime locations and distribute clues around the club.


    ?Find the clues and reach the primary location. Even if you succeed, the winner will receive a gold coin. This gold coin is the currency used to trade information within our club. "


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Is there a penalty for failure?��


    ��Is not getting gold coins considered a punishment?��


    ?Sweeti smiled and patted Luo An��s arm and said:


    ��You are so lucky to have found the first place on your first visit.��


    ?Luo An asked:


    ��Then how did you find this place?��


    At first glance, Sweety doesn��t look like the kind of person who is particularly good at finding clues.


    ?Sweti put her hands on her hips and raised her head proudly:


    ��The clues I bought with gold coins.��


    ����


    ??You can get a gold coin by finding the primary location, but Sweetie used a gold coin as the price to buy the location of the primary location... Luan blinked, he didn''t quite understand Sweetie''s operating logic.


    ?? But soon Luo An knew the reason why Sweety did this. She pulled Luo An to a card table and said in a low voice:


    ��See these games? We don��t play with outside currencies. Winning and losing here are paid with our club gold coins.


    How are your poker skills? Do you want to play? "


    ?Luo An��s eyes moved slightly and he smiled:


    ��But I don��t have any gold coins now. Even if I can get one when I get here, I only have one. It seems I can��t play.��


    "It doesn''t matter."


    ?Sweti waved her hand, her eyes flashed brightly, and whispered:


    ��I can lend you gold coins. How about 10 gold coins and 13 gold coins in return? Is that fair and reasonable?��


    ??Luo An: "...How did you get into this club?"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 728： Ten departures and twelve returns, blackjack

    Chapter 728: Ten departures and twelve returns, blackjack


    ?At nine o''clock in the evening, in a wealthy area near the sea in the south of Boston, there is a luxurious one-story villa with a large area.


    Luo An��s eyebrows jumped as he looked down at Sweety, who had bright eyes in front of him.


    ? He ??remembered that Mr. Clement told him before that people who join this club must either be rich and prestigious, or be very good in a certain field.


    ??But Sweety��s various operations made Roan doubt the authenticity of Mr. Clement��s words, so he asked:


    ��Sweeti, how did you get into this club?��


    ��I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst.��


    ?Sweeti chuckled, raised her head and said proudly:


    ��I have an MFA in Poetry, an MFA in Food Science, and am currently studying Plant Physiology and Biochemistry.��


    ����


    Luo An��s eyes were filled with surprise after he determined through ��emotional perception�� that the other party was telling the truth.


    ��How about it, do you want to play?��


    ��As long as you have enough gold coins, some people in the club can let you have fun with some of the little stars in Hollywood, both male and female stars.��


    ??He could see that Sweety was not a big-hearted woman, but having two master''s degrees still made him realize that he had underestimated her.


    ��Planes, yachts, companies, information, business cards, money����


    ��If you don��t pay, just follow the club��s rules. One gold coin is an offer you can��t refuse.��


    ?Sweeti grabbed Luo An��s arm hard and whispered:


    Roan gave Sweety a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart, with admiration on his face:


    ��Because we played together when we were kids, I��ll give you a discount. Just borrow ten coins and pay back twelve.��


    ?Sweeti put her hands on her hips and laughed, then took Luo An��s arm and asked again without forgetting her original intention:


    ?Luo An still had a question that he didn��t understand and asked:


    ��You just said that these gold coins are the currency used for transactions in the club. So what can be traded in the club?��


    "It doesn''t matter."


    Seeing the slight change in Luo An''s expression, Sweetie smiled and blew gently into Luo An''s ear and whispered:


    ?Sveti��s eyes were crooked:


    ��Women are greedy.��


    "Wow."


    ��How is it? Are you excited?��


    ?Sweeti clapped her fingers and said many words, and finally she pulled Luo An to bend down and whispered in Luo An��s ear:


    "you are great."


    ��You are so greedy.��


    Roan grinned slightly and understood that this club was similar to an opaque trading platform. The content of the transaction was finalized by the buyer and the seller, and the currency used for the transaction was the gold coins Sweety mentioned.


    ??Luo An raised his eyebrows, understood what Sweety was thinking, and said with a smile:


    Roan glanced at Sweety and asked with a smile:


    ��Aren��t you afraid that I will lose everything and not even get your gold coins?��


    ?After a moment of silence, some thoughts flashed through Luo An''s mind, so he licked his lips and agreed, saying:


    ��Lend me ten gold coins first.��


    "no problem."


    With a smile on her face, Sweety immediately waved to the waiter, asked for ten gold coins and handed them to Luo An, explaining:


    ��Each of us has our own account in the club, and gold coins can be withdrawn as needed.��


    ?? Luo An picked up a gold coin and looked at it. The style was quite simple, with a bunch of English letters from the University of Massachusetts on the front, and an open vertical pupil on the back, giving people an unusual feeling of being stared at by it.


    After a brief glance, Luo An and Sweety walked to the card table on the far left side of the hall. A white man happened to leave, so Luo An took his place and sat on the chair.


    ?The card table is not big. In addition to Luo An, there are three other white men in suits. One wears glasses, one has short hair, and the other has a cigar in his mouth.


    ��Good evening.�� The man with glasses smiled and greeted Luo An, and the man with short hair asked directly:


    ��Newcomer?��


    Roan smiled and nodded, took a sip of the red wine in Sweety��s hand, and asked:


    ��What game are you playing?��


    ��In blackjack, there is no banker, only players.��


    ??The cigar man blew out a puff of smoke, glanced sideways at Luo An, and asked:


    ��The loser gets a gold coin and the winner takes all, is there any problem?��


    The rules of blackjack are not difficult. There are 52 cards in the game except kings and kings. The player''s goal is to make the sum of the cards in his hand not exceed 21 points and be as large as possible.


    Among them, K, Q, J and 10 cards are all counted as 10 points. The A card can be counted as 1 point or 11 points. It is up to the player to decide. During the period, he can continue to ask for cards, or he can choose to give up and admit defeat.


    ??During Mona''s father''s previous operation, Luo An played Texas Hold''em with slightly adjusted rules. However, he had played blackjack in Las Vegas before and understood the rules, so he nodded to the dealer:


    "I''m OK."


    The dealer was a very beautiful young woman. Seeing that Luo An had no problem and the other three players had no problem, he started shuffling the cards with the shuffling machine and then distributed the new cards to the four people.


    The first game ended quickly. Luo An��s total number of cards accidentally exceeded blackjack and he lost a gold coin.


    ??Looking at the winner of the first game, the man with glasses, Sweetie changed Luo An''s glass of red wine, patted Luo An''s shoulder and comforted him in a low voice:


    ��It��s okay, don��t be nervous, don��t be discouraged, it��s always like this in the beginning, and it will get better the more times you do it.��


    ����I feel like what you said is a little bit wrong.��


    ?? Luo An rolled his eyes speechlessly, picked up the red wine and took a sip. Faced with the joking looks of the other three players, Luo An chuckled and said to the dealer:


    "please continue."


    The dealer nodded and continued to distribute the second round of cards to the four players. A few minutes later, Luo An lost another round and lost one gold coin.


    The winner of the second game was the cigar man. He smiled and took away the gold coins of the other three people and urged:


    "Keep going!"


    ?Sweeti rubbed Luo An��s shoulders and comforted:


    ��It��s okay, there are still eight gold coins left, don��t panic.��


    ??Luo An looked calm and silently accepted the hole card handed to him by the dealer in the third round. A few minutes later, Luo An''s score was exactly 20, making him the closest to 21 among the four.


    ?Luo An won the third game in one fell swoop. Not only did he get back the gold coins he lost in the previous two games, he also earned one.


    "Wow."


    ?Sweti raised her eyebrows and clapped and cheered:


    ��Luo An, you are so lucky!��


    The man with glasses, the man with short hair and the man with cigars turned their attention to Luo An, who spread his hands and smiled:


    ��I��m really lucky.��


    ??The three white men looked back and didn''t pay much attention. They just won a round, and there was still a long time to come.


    At the beginning of the fourth game, Luo An lost another gold coin. Sweety continued to comfort him and said that it didn��t matter if Luo An lost all, and she could continue to lend Luan gold coins.


    In the fifth game, Luo An won; in the sixth game, Luo An lost; in the seventh game, Luo An lost; in the eighth game, Luo An won; in the ninth game, Luo An won...


    Two hours later, on both sides of the card table, the man with glasses was frowning, the man with short hair was dry and licking his lips, and the man with cigar was breathing rapidly and his face was red.


    Because they themselves lacked a third of the gold coins in the initial stage.


    The number of gold coins in front of Luo An increased from ten to thirty-seven!


    Unlike the three agitated players at the card table, Sweetie behind Luo An had her eyes widened with an incredulous expression on her face. Her breathing was rapid and her conscience on her chest was shaking violently, which was very attractive to others.


    "you��"


    Bang!


    ?Sweeti swallowed and was about to ask when the cigar man suddenly slammed the table, gave Luo An a vicious look, and said to the dealer:


    "continue!"

 Chapter 729： Ignorance knows **** people and kill their hearts

    Chapter 729: Ignorance knows **** people and kill people��s hearts


    Time continued to move forward, and another two and a half hours passed.


    ?At 1:30 in the morning, the card table on the far left side of the hall was full of people. Everyone was staring at Luo An at the card table and the piles of more than fifty gold coins in front of him.


    ?These people looked at Luo An in shock, envy, or disbelief, but when they moved to the other three players on the card table, they all turned into teasing and teasing.


    At this time, the man with glasses only had five gold coins left in front of him, the man with short hair had six gold coins left in front of him, and the cigar man had the least, with only two gold coins left.


    ??Looking at his trump card, the cigar man took a long puff of cigar, then looked at Luo An, his voice was cold and scary:


    ��You open the cards first.��


    ?Luo An put down the red wine glass in his hand and asked:


    "you sure?"


    ??In the rules of the game they played this time, if the player who opened the card first had a point equal to twenty-one, even if there were others behind him whose points were also equal to twenty-one, he would still be considered a loser.


    ��That��s right.��


    ������x3


    ?The air in the scene was quiet, and the cigar man''s laughing movements gradually became stiff.


    Luo An shook his head helplessly, took a sip of wine, looked at the other three players on the card table, and asked with a smile:


    ��One more game?��


    ��Nineteen points, I didn��t expect that I had the smallest number in this round.��


    ����


    The cigar man laughed loudly when he saw this:


    ��It��s definitely not blackjack!��


    ??The pretty waitress agreed with a smile on her face, and before leaving, she winked at Luo An and cast an incomprehensible look.


    ??The man with glasses and the man with short hair looked at each other, both staring closely at the trump card in Luo An��s hand. The cigar man said coldly:


    ��I don��t believe that the number of cards in your hand is exactly blackjack!��


    Facing Luo An��s ignorant and heart-wrenching speech, the area around the card table was silent. The man with glasses and the man with short hair was silent for a few seconds, took a deep breath, stood up, left the chair, and turned around without hesitation.


    By the way, twelve gold coins were transferred to Miss Sweety, and she also had a share of the credit. "


    ?Luo An chuckled, raised his hand slightly forward, and said:


    "It''s your turn."


    ?Luo An did lose this game, but he still won a total of fifty-three gold coins from them.


    The people around the card table suddenly burst into laughter. Luo An chuckled lightly, waved his hand and called the waiter, pointed to the gold coins in front of him and said:


    ��Help me sort it out and record it in my account.


    "no problem."


    Everyone around the card table looked at Luo An. Behind him, Sweety also frowned and stared at the trump card in front of Luo An.


    "Hahaha-"


    ?Under the various gazes of everyone, Luo An chuckled and did not hide it. He quickly revealed the mystery and turned over the hole cards. The total was exactly nineteen, which was two points less than twenty.


    ?? Luo An turned his eyes to the cigar man. The cigar man snorted coldly, raised his hand to straighten his hair leisurely, and then... turned around and quickly left the card table.


    ?Luo An very calmly threw out a gold coin; the man with glasses pushed out a gold coin, and there were four left; the cigar man pushed out a gold coin, and only the last one was left.


    ?The man with glasses followed closely, and the number was also twenty. The man with short hair finally revealed it, and the number was exactly twenty-one. He was the winner of this game.


    The cigar man raised his brows and revealed his trump card, which added up to twenty points.


    ??The short-haired man successfully got back three gold coins. The number of gold coins in front of him increased to nine, but there was no happy emotion on his face at all.


    ??Luo An chose to ignore the look of the waitress looking for an opportunity to chat with him. He turned to look at Sweety, only to find that she was sitting on the sofa far away, lowering her head and drawing circles.


    ?Luo An walked over, picked up a glass of champagne and handed it to her, smiling and asking:


    ��Why, you lent me ten gold coins, but only got twelve back. Do you feel that the transaction was a loss?��


    "No..." Sweety opened her mouth and stopped mid-sentence. Her original plan was to make Luo An lose all the ten gold coins and then owe her twelve favors, but she didn''t expect...


    Taking the champagne from Luo An, Sweetie looked complicated and asked doubtfully:


    "how did you do that?"


    Borrowed 10 gold coins from her and won 53 gold coins in a few hours... In addition to shock, confusion, and confusion, Sweetie now also had a few indescribable feelings of envy and jealousy in her heart.


    She had been joining the club for four years and had only accumulated a hundred and a few gold coins. However, Luo An had just joined the club and won half of her accumulated amount in one night.


    ??Roan picked up a glass of red wine, took the initiative to clink the champagne in Sweety''s hand, and said with a smile:


    ��I have better luck.��


    ?Sweeti rolled her eyes. If she still believed in Roan''s luck, she would be a hammer.


    ?Sweeti took a sip of champagne and was about to continue asking. At this moment, a waiter suddenly came over, bowed and whispered:


    ��Mr. Greenwood, someone is looking for you.��


    Luo An raised his eyebrows:


    "who?"


    ?The waiter spoke in a friendly tone:


    ��You��ll know when you go there.��


    Luo An suddenly nodded, then shook his head:


    ��Since we are strangers, I won��t go there yet. I am chatting with my friend.��


    ������x2


    ??The waiter''s movements froze for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed across Sweety''s face. She quickly realized something, and wanted to speak, but finally stopped and remained silent.


    ?Luo An was very calm, picked up a fork, inserted a piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.


    He guessed who the person who was looking for him was, it was just a certain manager of the club. When he first entered the villa, he felt two waves of interest in him.


    ??Luo An thought that the other party would have a chat with him, but as a result, the other party''s mood kept showing that he was very interested in him, but he just ignored him.


    Combined with the card table in the room, many thoughts flashed through Luo An''s mind, and finally he judged that the opponent had a certain probability of planning to make him lose a few games, and took this opportunity to give him a showdown.


    ?? So Luo An agreed to borrow some gold coins from Sweety, and continued to sense the fluctuations of the two emotions during the card game. Finally, he confirmed that his guess was correct, and the other party really planned to watch him lose all the gold coins.


    ? Then Luo An used the "emotional perception" in his mind to judge the cards of the three poker friends, and won a big win.


    ??Those two emotions during this period went from indifference to surprise, then to shock and disbelief. Finally, when I saw the sixty-odd gold coins in front of Luo An, I was numb. After a long silence, I had to send a waiter to find Luo An.


    At the same time, in a room behind the villa, upon hearing the news of Luo An''s rejection, the white-haired elderly white man''s face instantly darkened.


    The elderly white man wearing brown glasses next to him was also stunned for a moment, then raised his hands, clapped and laughed:


    ��I like this little guy, he is so interesting!��


    As he spoke, he patted the arm of an elderly white man with white hair and said with a smile:


    ��Edward, you lost twice today! And it��s so rare for a young man who is about the same age as your grandson!��


    ?The gray-haired Edward glanced at his old friend, took a sip of coffee, stood up with a cane, and said:


    ��Let��s go, Morgan, since the little guy doesn��t want to come, let��s go over and have a chat with him.


    Young people today are too energetic. "


    Wearing brown glasses, Morgan patted the old man on the shoulder and stood up to walk out of the room. At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    In the lobby, the waiter was persuading Luo An. Suddenly, a white man walked over quickly and said in a deep voice:


    ��Excuse me, Team Leader Greenwood, but I��m really sorry for the sudden incident. We have a case that we need your help with.��

 Chapter 730： [The murder of the deputy governor after a heart transplant]

    Chapter 730 [The murder of the deputy governor after heart transplantation]


    At two thirty in the morning, there was a luxurious one-story villa by the sea in the south of Boston.


    In a room at the back, Luo An was sitting on a chair calmly drinking red wine. Opposite him sat two old white men, one wearing brown glasses and the other with gray hair and a cane.


    ��Roan Greenwood.��


    ?Seeing that Luo An was unhurried and had a calm attitude, the gray-haired Edward looked him up and down for a moment, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and asked with interest:


    ��Can you explain how you won the little game just now?��


    ??The little game Edward was talking about was the gold coin game, and he really wanted to know how Roan did it.


    ?Luo An smiled and spread his hands:


    ��It��s just good luck.��


    Seeing that Luo An was not telling the truth, the gray-haired Edward shook his head helplessly and did not continue to ask. He turned to look at Morgan, who was wearing brown glasses. Morgan said without any nonsense:


    ��Leader Greenwood, I would like to ask you to investigate a case. This case����


    ��I��m sorry, old gentleman.��


    Before Morgan, who was wearing brown glasses, could finish his words, Luo An interrupted him with a smile and explained:


    At the end of the matter, I will pay you fifteen gold coins in the club, and outside the club, the Morgan family will also express their gratitude to you. "


    I hope you can take over this case today and investigate it, and try your best to figure it out as quickly as possible.


    Luo An smiled and asked:


    ��Statistically speaking, ninety percent is more credible, isn��t it?��


    ??Luo An��s meaning is very simple. He really cannot refuse the commander��s order, but no one can be sure about investigating the case. There will always be a dead end.


    ��Aren��t you afraid that your reputation for a 100% detection rate will be shattered?��


    The gray-haired Edward smiled even brighter, and then asked:


    Roan''s heart moved slightly when he heard Morgan''s words, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he asked quietly:


    ��I��m sorry, Mr. Morgan, I want to ask, what did you mean by thank you?��


    ��I am currently on vacation. If the case is urgent, I can help you contact the FBI headquarters in Washington. There are many experienced investigation teams there who can definitely help you solve your difficulties.��


    ��As the leader of the investigation team, I cannot refuse the commander��s order.��


    ��What if we contact your commander and specify that we want you, Captain Greenwood, to lead the team to handle this case?��


    ??Morgan, wearing brown glasses, rubbed his temples. The sudden case made him a little nervous, but fortunately there was an excellent FBI agent in front of him, so he replied:


    The gray-haired Edward was very emotional and said:


    ��Luo An, you are much better than your father when he was young.��


    "Money is just a small matter. After all, I am a new member who has just joined the club. I have the responsibility to help Mr. Morgan solve his difficulties."


    ?Morgan frowned slightly, Edward chuckled and said:


    ��If this case can be solved within a month, the Morgan family is willing to pay $10 million to fund your special investigation team in Greenwood.��


    Luo An sat up straight with a stern look on his face and asked with a serious expression:


    ��Mr. Morgan, please describe in detail, what kind of case is this?��


    Luo An looked very calm and said with a smile:


    ��But when dealing with cases, you often need the help of the goddess of luck.


    Sometimes the goddess of luck is not at home, and I have no other choice but to do what I should do. "


    ??Morgan, a well-known surname in the Federation, a surname that sounds very rich.


    ��Roan Greenwood, my name is Morgan, the Morgan you think of.


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to ask about his father''s affairs, Morgan, who was wearing brown glasses, suddenly said:


    ������x2


    ?Looking at Luo An, who had a righteous face in front of him, Morgan, who was wearing brown glasses, had his eyelids twitching, and Edward was also stunned for a moment.


    ?Then Edward grinned and applauded Luo An. He now liked Luo An, a cheeky young man, more and more.


    ??The thick-skinned here is not to scold Luo An, but to praise him. Edward has seen many thin-skinned young people who wagged their tails to the sky after being praised for a few words, and then gave away the actual benefits.


    There are also young people like this in Edward''s family, and he often loses his temper because of this. Now seeing that Luo An has understood the truth that actual interests are the most important at such a young age, Edward''s eyes are suddenly filled with approval.


    ?Looking at the bright look of justice on Luo An''s face, Morgan twitched the corner of his mouth, but quickly calmed down and explained:


    ��Two hours ago, at about midnight, the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania died in a hospital in Pennsylvania.�� The news of the death of the lieutenant governor of a state made Luo An frown slightly:


    ��What is the specific cause of death?��


    ��It��s not clear yet, suspected of poisoning.��


    Morgan said with a gloomy face:


    ��Lieutenant Governor Whitmore had some heart problems, and he went to that hospital for a heart transplant.


    The heart transplant operation took a total of 10 hours and was a success.


    ?But not long after he was pushed into the intensive care unit, he developed difficulty breathing and died in the ward before doctors could rescue him.


    ?In addition to Lieutenant Governor Whittemore, nearly ten patients in several intensive care units next to him had difficulty breathing and died on the spot. "


    Morgan initially said that when Lieutenant Governor Whittemore suffered from breathing difficulties and died shortly after the heart transplant, Luo An''s eyes moved slightly and he thought of the possibility of rejection.


    But when he heard that nearly ten other passerby patients died later, Luo An''s expression changed slightly:


    ��Mass poisoning?��


    ?Morgan nodded and said solemnly:


    ��It��s possible, but the other party is most likely coming for Lieutenant Governor Whitmore.��


    Luo An was silent for a while and said:


    ��After all, this case happened in Pennsylvania, and I need to report it to my commander before I can investigate.


    ?Also, what is the last name of the lieutenant governor? We may need to talk to his relatives. "


    ��His last name is not Morgan.��


    Edward and Morgan understood the subtext of Luo An''s words. Morgan shook his head and said:


    ��But his wife��s surname is Morgan. I will explain the situation to her. I will also contact your superior. Team Leader Luo An can rest assured to investigate.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Hearing Morgan''s words that he could help solve all external difficulties and only needed Luo An to investigate the case, Luo An raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to shake Morgan''s hand, exchanged a few words, and left the room.


    ��A very interesting young man.��


    The door was closed, and the gray-haired Edward took a sip of his coffee, looked at Morgan with a smile, and asked:


    ��Would you like to guess how long it will take Luo An to solve this case? I��ll bet twenty days.��


    ��I hope the time is as short as possible.��


    ?Morgan rubbed his temples and said in a muffled voice:


    ��I bet on fifteen days.��


    ��OK, the bet is established.��


    ?Edward put down his coffee cup and asked:


    ��What��s the stakes?��


    ?Morgan��s eyes flashed and he said:


    ��If Luo An solves this case within fifteen days, you will pay half of the US$10 million.


    Twenty days later, Luo An solved the case, and I paid all of the US$10 million.


    Between fifteen and twenty days, it is considered a draw. "


    ��Old fox.��


    ?Edward shook his head. He heard the pitfalls in Morgan''s words, but he didn''t refute. He just added:


    ��Luo An solves this case in twenty days, and you will use your name to raise Luo An��s club level by one level, doubling the originally promised gold coins.


    I want to see what he can achieve with the help of the club. "


    "make a deal."


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 731： Start investigating, clues

    Chapter 731 Start investigation, clues


    It turns out that Morgan is very anxious.


    ?? Luo An drove the Dodge Hellcat back to the old villa. Not long after falling asleep, Veranith called at 7:30 in the morning, allowing Luo An to lead a team to deal with the murder case of the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania.


    Massachusetts, where Boston is located, is not far from Pennsylvania, with only New York State in between.


    ??Awakened by Veranith''s call, Luo An rubbed his somewhat messy hair. After regaining consciousness, he called other members of the special investigation team and asked them to meet up in Pennsylvania.


    ??After briefly washing up, Luo An left his room, opened the door and walked into Mona''s bedroom.


    At this time, Mona was sleeping on the table, with a lot of drool drooling from the corner of her mouth. The computer screen next to her was flashing a light blue page, and the content was complicated. Luo An couldn''t understand it, so he picked up Mona and sent it to her. on the bed.


    Considering Mona��s job position in the investigation team and the fact that she stayed up late these days, Luo An did not wake her up, but asked her to rest first.


    Leaving a note for Mona, Luo An packed his things and took the first flight out of Boston.


    At two thirty in the afternoon, Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania.


    The city''s geographical location is quite advantageous. It is not only an important gateway from the east coast to the central and western states, but also an important trade port running from north to south and from west to east. It is also the production and sales of coal, oil, and steel on which the federation depends. important base.


    ��Good afternoon, Luo An, good afternoon, everyone.��


    ??Some of these people are company owners, and some are professional lawyers, with different identities.


    ��Everyone, judging from the clues we have so far, this is a poisoning and murder case.��


    There was also a baby inside who was less than two months old. She suffered from congenital heart disease and was also in the high-risk intensive care unit. She was also poisoned and died in this case. "


    ������x2


    Winslow and Chenelle were both speechless. Roan walked over from the side, distributed several documents to the three of them, and said:


    ��In addition to Lieutenant Governor Whitmore, there were eight other poisoning deaths.


    Seeing Lacey sitting listlessly on the sofa, Winslow raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��After this case is over, you and Michelle live together for a few days to adjust your schedule.��


    Winslow was speechless when he heard this. Chenelle came over from the side and handed the hot water to Lacey, patted her on the shoulder and said:


    ��OK.��


    Lacie rubbed her eyes, picked up a bag of coffee from Michelle and started brewing it, and explained in a low voice:


    ��It��s just that my life schedule these days is a little irregular. When Luo An called me, I was just getting ready to go to bed.��


    On the other side of the sofa, Winslow is full of energy. He and his wife are living a very comfortable life these days, and his face is much rosier than before, but he likes to hold his waist from time to time.


    Lacie picked up the brewed coffee and took a sip, then raised her head and smiled:


    ��The doctor said that except for some unhealthy problems, everything else is fine.��


    "No."


    "what''s the situation?"


    ??In a hotel suite in east Harrisburg, Lacey opened the door and said hello, yawned widely, threw her luggage aside and began to sit on the sofa with her eyes closed and meditative.


    ??Lacie wanted to say something, but in the end she nodded helplessly. Luo An didn''t talk too much, and after a few simple greetings, he began to change the topic to this case.


    "I suggest that you take a closer look at your body when you have the opportunity. The way you arrange your private life is too problematic, and it is very bad for your body."


    ��Are you having a party all night again?��


    ��I just checked it a few days ago.��


    At the front of the conference table, Luo An posted the photos and information of several victims on the whiteboard and said in a deep voice:


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Seeing the baby''s face in the photo, Winslow and Lacey immediately cursed, Chenelle looked very ugly, and Michelle frowned and asked:


    ��What is the toxin that causes death? Has it been found?��


    ��That��s what we��re going to do next.��


    ?Luo An closed the folder and said:


    "On the night of the incident, the batch of drugs at the scene was immediately collected and taken away, and sent to the local FBI trace laboratory for testing. Chenille, you go to the laboratory to wait and get the test report. Michelle, you go to the hospital. Get the monitoring disk back, and Mona will remotely connect to the networked monitoring in the hospital, but if there is no networked monitoring, you still need to use physical means to get it back. "


    "no problem."


    Chenelle and Michelle nodded in agreement. Lacey raised her hand and asked:


    "what about me?"


    ��Lacie, Winslow, you guys are with me.��


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:


    ��Let��s visit the hospital and the situation near the hospital on site.


    Since the murderer killed nearly ten victims through poisoning, there must be clues left by him in or near the hospital. "


    ��OK!��


    ?Winslow and Lacey nodded in understanding. They simply tidied up and began to act according to the plan.


    Because a lieutenant governor died in this case, a hospital in the center of Harrisburg was surrounded by reporters from all walks of life. The flash lights kept flashing, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.


    ??Luo An arrived at the hospital and saw this scene. He silently drove the car to the parking lot in the distance, changed his clothes, and then began to investigate.


    Visiting and investigating is always the most time-consuming task. Luo An, Winslow and Lacey only walked around the hospital until eight o''clock in the evening.


    ??Returning to the hotel suite, Luo An pushed the door open and found Mona sitting next to Michelle. She also came here, so Luo An frowned and asked:


    "when did you come?"


    ��It��s about four o��clock in the afternoon.��


    ??Mona chuckled, waved to Winslow and Lacey, and then said to Roan:


    ��I came here after I had a good rest, don��t worry.��


    ��OK.��


    ? Seeing that Mona was in good spirits and it was inconvenient to talk more now, Luo An did not discuss the matter further.


    ?Not long after, Chenille also returned to the hotel suite. After everyone gathered together, Luo An began to lead the team to sort out the clues they had investigated.


    ��The report from the Trace Inspection Section has come out.��


    The first person to stand up was Chenelle. She distributed the paper in her hand to everyone and explained:


    ��The results showed that Lieutenant Governor Whitmore, as well as the other eight victims, died of cyanide poisoning.


    Traces of cyanide were also found in the intravenous drip equipment used when they were lying on the hospital bed and receiving infusions, and the amount was quite large. "


    ��Cyanide is white, easily soluble in water, and has a slight bitter almond smell.��


    Looking at the test report in her hand, Lacey looked gloomy and said:


    ��But there are too many smelly medicines in the hospital, and the bitter almond smell is difficult to detect.


    Even if it is discovered, many people will not pay much attention to it and will most likely regard it as the smell of some kind of medicine. "


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Winslow, Mona and Michelle all nodded. Roan glanced at the contents of the report, remained silent for a few seconds, turned his eyes to Lacey, and asked:


    ��We investigated separately for a while this afternoon. Did you find anything there?��


    "certainly!"


    Lacie nodded, stood up, placed a somewhat blurry photo in the center of the table, and said:


    ��I learned from an ambulance driver at the hospital that when the Lieutenant Governor was admitted to the hospital the day before yesterday, someone stood by and took secret photos..."


    ��That��s right! I also found out about this!��


    Halfway through Lacey��s words, Michelle also stood up, called up a monitoring report and said:


    ��I also found this suspicious guy on the surveillance camera!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 732： Caring for women in difficulty

    Chapter 732 Taking care of women in difficulty


    ?At eight-thirty in the evening, the capital of Pennsylvania, a hotel suite in eastern Harrisburg.


    ��I also found that suspicious guy!��


    ?At the conference table, Michelle pulled up a copy of the surveillance and showed it to everyone, saying:


    ��Same as Lacey, looks like the same person.��


    Everyone turned their attention to Michelle''s laptop, which contained a somewhat blurry surveillance video.


    In the center of the picture, Lieutenant Governor Whitmore is getting out of the car and entering the hospital surrounded by bodyguards and other people.


    ??In the small left corner of the screen, a man wearing a jacket stood in the corner, holding a mobile phone to take secret photos of the deputy governor and others. When the deputy governor and others all entered the hospital, the man in the jacket also put away his mobile phone and turned around to leave.


    "it''s him!"


    ??After watching this surveillance video, Lacey quickly put the photo in her hand next to the computer and said:


    ��At that time, the ambulance had just completed an emergency mission to save people, and was temporarily parked on the side of the road by the driver. The surveillance camera in the car just happened to catch this guy��s face.��


    ��Well done!��


    ?This guy''s name is Adam Davis. He is 33 years old. His most recent job record was half a year ago, when he worked in a lumber factory. He has no tax records for a long time. "


    ?Parked the SUV in a secret corner of the roadside, Luo An and Chenelle pushed open the door and walked to the front desk. They placed the FBI''s golden badge on the counter, handed over the photo of Adam Davis, and asked directly:


    ��Which room is this guy in?��


    ��Sounds like the IRS is going to like him.��


    North Harrisburg, a roadside motel.


    "It seems that our Mr. Adam likes to take care of business for women who are in difficulty."


    ?Luo An smiled and asked:


    ��Everyone, the results are out.


    ?Less than a minute later, the flashing contrast on the computer screen stopped, a picture of a man appeared, and Mona introduced in a solemn voice:


    ?Twenty minutes later, surveillance cameras on a nearby street captured him walking eastward with two women arm in arm.


    ��Can you find out where this guy lives?��


    With that said, Mona picked up the scanning device and processed the photos that Lacey had obtained. The faces of the people in the photos quickly appeared on the laptop. Then Mona tapped the keyboard a few times to bring up a blue page, and countless photos began to appear instantly. Flash contrast.


    I checked and found that there is a motel not far east on that street, which is open 24 hours a day. "


    ??Luo An gently patted Lacey''s shoulder, quickly handed the photo to Mona, and asked:


    ��How is it? Can you find it?��


    "certainly."


    ??Mona tapped the computer keyboard with her fingers flying and said quickly:


    ��Bank account records show that at 7 o��clock tonight, Adam Davis withdrew $500 from an automatic teller machine on a street in north Harrisburg.


    ??Luo An gently patted Mona on the shoulder, then looked up at everyone and ordered loudly:


    ??Mona gave Luo An a proud look and said with a smile:


    ��Please trust my new little toy.��


    "no problem!"


    "I can''t find where he lives, but I can find his recent consumption records."


    ��Everyone, let��s set off, this time the task is to sweep the H!��


    ����


    ��2nd floor, room 233.��


    ??The front desk was a white woman with big curly hair who looked to be in her forties. She didn''t panic at all when she saw the FBI''s golden badge. She was very calm and said very skillfully:


    ��When arresting people, please try to destroy the facilities in the room as little as possible. In addition, please leave your contact information. My boss will contact you later for compensation.��


    ??The front desk lady was obviously experienced. Luo An smiled without saying anything and asked Chenelle to leave her contact information. He immediately led Winslow and Lacey up the stairs and went straight to the target room.


    Room No. 233 was in the middle of the second floor of the hotel. After Winslow and Lacey found the room, they immediately stood on the right side of the door with guns in hand, looking at Luo An, waiting for his order.


    ??When Luo An came here, he frowned suddenly. Lacey''s expression became stern when she saw this, and she asked in a low voice:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ?Luo An shook his head without saying anything, and directly raised his foot and kicked towards the door.


    score


    With terrifying force, the door was kicked open instantly. Winslow and Lacey rushed into the room with guns and shouted:


    ��Don��t move! Stop moving!��


    "Put your hands up!" The two shouted loudly and then froze on the spot. The layout of this room is very simple. Apart from the bathroom, there is only a coffee table and a large bed.


    There are several bottles of beer on the coffee table, some of which are empty and some of which are still half full. Next to the beer are several cigarettes. The tobacco is some kind of addictive green plant.


    ??On the big bed in the center of the room, there were a man and two women lying on the bed. The three of them didn''t have much clothing on them. The face of the man in the middle was correct. He was indeed the target of their trip, Adam Davis.


    But at this moment, a man and two women were lying upright on the bed motionless, their faces full of pain, their pupils dilated, and they were completely out of breath.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Winslow walked up and felt the pulses of the three of them. He immediately frowned and cursed loudly. He looked back at Luo An and Lacey with a very ugly expression on his face:


    ��All dead.��


    ??Lacie walked to the body with a gloomy face, bent down to examine it for a moment and raised her head and said:


    ��The body was still warm and had just died.


    In addition, there was no obvious damage to the outside of the body. I suspect it was poisoning. "


    ? Luo An picked up the cigarette butts on the ground. The smell of green plants was very pungent.


    ??When he arrived at the door of Room 233 just now, Luo An, who had always turned on "Emotional Sense", found that there was no mood swing in the room at all.


    ?At that time, he made two judgments, either the person ran away or the person died. Now that the result has come out, unfortunately it is the latter.


    After a few seconds of silence, Luo An said quietly:


    ��Call the trace inspection department. If nothing else happens, it should be cyanide again.��


    "damn it."


    Winslow cursed a few words, took out his mobile phone and started to make a call. Chenelle walked into the room, and her face became very ugly when she saw this scene. She looked at Luo An and asked:


    ��Is it the guy who poisoned you in the hospital? Is that guy trying to silence you?��


    "possible."


    ??Luo An nodded, and Lacey added:


    ��That��s how it feels to me. It was cyanide that killed the nine victims in the hospital, and the way Adam Davis died was very similar to cyanide poisoning.��


    ��Then how were they poisoned?��


    Chenier looked at the messy things on the coffee table and frowned:


    ��Beer or cigarettes?��


    Lacey said nothing. Whether it was beer or cigarettes, the taste of both could suppress the bitter almond smell of cyanide.


    Roan did not discuss the topic. He began to look around the room carefully and asked:


    ��Lacey, Winslow, did you find Adam Davis�� cell phone?��


    "No."


    They both shook their heads. Chenier reacted instantly and said in shock:


    ��Luo An, you mean, the murderer was here just now?!��


    ��I couldn��t find Adam��s cell phone either.��


    ?Luo An inspected it carefully for a moment, stood up and frowned:


    ��Now it seems that this is what it should be.��


    Lacey��s face darkened, she nodded and walked out of the room quickly, saying:


    ��I��m going downstairs to ask the front desk for surveillance.��


    ��The Trace Inspection Section will be here soon.��


    Lacey left the room, and Winslow also finished the phone call. He glanced at the three corpses on the big bed and asked:


    ��Luo An, what should we do next?��


    ��Let��s wait for the Trace Inspection Section to process the bodies and let them test whether it was cyanide that killed these three people.��


    ?Luo An was silent for a few seconds and then said:


    ��Also, we need to find where Adam Davis lives and go there to take a look.��

 Chapter 733： The context of the case, the story in the hospital

    Chapter 733 Case context, story in the hospital


    At nine o''clock in the morning the next day, in a hotel suite in north Harrisburg.


    ��Good morning, everyone, I��m back.��


    Chenelle pushed open the door and walked in, shaking the folder in her hand:


    ��The test results from the Trace Inspection Department have come out. It was indeed cyanide that killed Adam Davis and the two women.��


    ?At the conference table, Mona, Michelle, Lacey and Winslow all looked ugly. Luo An pondered for a moment and asked:


    ��What about the crime scene? Did the Trace Inspection Section detect any traces of the murderer?��


    Cheniel sat back on her chair, picked up the water glass, took a sip, shook her head and said:


    ��Unfortunately, there are no fingerprints or footprints. The Trace Inspection Department suspects that the murderer wore gloves and shoe covers.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, he turned his gaze to Lacey and asked:


    ��What do you say about motel surveillance?��


    ��The owner of that motel is definitely a talent.��


    ??Lacie cursed a few words in a low voice, handed a piece of paper to Luo An, and said:


    ��On the streets near the motel, there were many women engaged in illegal work.


    ?Mona nodded:


    ��No, it should be considered as robbing those men.��


    ��First of all, the process and context of the entire case.��


    ?Mona and Michelle were also very surprised and complained:


    ��What��s this, getting a kickback?��


    The technical work on Mona and Michelle''s side took time, so Roan led Lacey, Winslow and Chenelle to sort out the information currently on hand and continue to analyze clues.


    During the admission process, Adam Davis secretly took photos of the deputy governor and others at the entrance of the hospital.


    ��OK, give me a little more time.��


    ?After listening to Lacey''s description, the room fell silent. Winslow and Chenelle''s eyes widened, never expecting such an operation.


    ��I��m working on Adam Davis��s phone.��


    In exchange, the innkeeper would give the women five percent of the room rate for every male customer they brought.


    ?In order to attract customers, the motel owner came up with an idea. He discussed with the women and invited them to come to his hotel to play sports with the men.


    ��Don��t forget that computer.��


    ??Mona sat in her seat and typed quickly on the computer keyboard. The mobile phone Winslow found was being connected to her computer with a data cable. Mona complained:


    ��Except for some fake calls and messages, this phone has almost no useful things. It feels like a brick.��


    ?In addition, in order to make the cooperation long-term, the hotel owner also thoughtfully removed the perimeter of the hotel walls and surveillance in the corridors to prevent federal law enforcement officers from finding evidence in his place and arresting the women. "


    ��Two days ago, the deputy governor was notified and entered the hospital for inspection and preparation before the operation.


    Luo An pondered for a moment and said:


    ��Also, don��t forget to check text message records and call records.��


    ����


    Roan posted photos of the lieutenant governor and Adam Davis on the whiteboard and said:


    ?Luo An waved his hand, and Winslow on the other side pointed to the cardboard box beside him and said:


    ��Based on my visit last night, I found Adam Davis�� residence, which is an ordinary rental house.


    I found Adam Davis�� computer and another mobile phone in the rental house. I brought them all back, but nothing else was found. "


    One day ago in the afternoon, the heart transplant operation officially began. The process lasted ten hours. After the operation was completed, the deputy governor was pushed into the intensive care unit.


    At about midnight, the deputy governor and the other eight victims were poisoned and died.


    ??Yesterday at seven o''clock in the afternoon, Adam Davis withdrew some money from an automatic teller machine on the street and found two women to release his desires.


    The record recorded at the front desk of the hotel shows that the time when the three entered the room was around 7:38.


    We arrived at the hotel around 8:35, and all three people were dead at that time. �� ? ? There was nothing wrong with the whole process. Winslow and Chenelle nodded. Lacey was silent for a few seconds and frowned:


    ��The death of Adam Davis is undoubtedly an act of silence by those behind the scenes.


    ?From the perspective of the mastermind behind the scenes, in order to prevent his information from being leaked, it is necessary to silence him.


    But has it been too long?


    ? Nearly 20 hours passed between the death of the lieutenant governor and others at 12:00 midnight and the killing of Adam Davis at around 7:00 p.m. "


    ��And the reason why the lieutenant governor was killed.��


    Chynielle then added:


    ��We have investigated the Lieutenant Governor��s family and friends, and none of them have heard of anyone who has a deep grudge against the Lieutenant Governor.


    There are many political enemies, but they understand the rules and bottom line of the political game, and we have not found anyone who has the motive to attack the lieutenant governor. "


    ��Where��s the heart?��


    Winslow suddenly looked serious and asked:


    ��Is there any problem with the origin of the heart transplanted by the lieutenant governor? Could it be some kind of revenge?��


    ��The source of the heart is okay.��


    ?Luo An shook his head and said:


    ��I checked this matter and found that the heart came from a young man who was brain-dead due to a car accident. His family could not afford the subsequent medical expenses, so they simply signed a donation consent form.


    Essentially, the heart was purchased by the lieutenant governor��s wife for three hundred thousand dollars.


    As for the young man��s parents, I contacted Veranis and asked her to help investigate. The parents also had two children. After receiving the money, they returned home and continued to support the two children in school. "


    ?Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey were all silent. They bought a heart for three hundred thousand dollars, which sounded unspeakable, but this was the Federation after all, so this kind of thing was not uncommon.


    ?After a moment of silence, Chenelle continued:


    ��What is the situation with the doctors and nurses in the hospital? Are they suspected of being bribed?��


    ��I��ve looked into it.��


    ??Luo An shook his head. He was not idle last night when Winslow, Chenelle, Lacey and others split up.


    ? He ??drove to the hospital and used the "emotional perception" in his mind to talk to every doctor, nurse, etc. who had come into contact with the medical equipment on the day of the incident.


    During the chat, Luo An learned a lot of information.


    For example, a female doctor is obviously married, but she still experiences happiness with several male doctors; a nurse and the director play poker in the office; a nurse makes a lot of money by helping patients solve physical problems in the ward. Extra money��


    There was a lot of eye-opening information, but it was of little help to the case. The doctors and nurses told the truth, and Luo An was temporarily ruled out as a suspect.


    After Luo An finished his brief statement, both sides of the conference table fell silent again. After a long silence, Lacey suddenly raised her hand and asked with a serious face:


    ��Luo An, can you tell us the story of the female nurse who made extra money in detail?��


    ������x3


    Winslow was speechless, Chenelle rolled her eyes, and Roan, who had black lines all over his head, picked up a bag of coffee and threw it at Lacey.


    ��I don��t think the atmosphere is too heavy, so I want to tone it down a little.��


    Lacey chuckled, took the candy and stuffed it into her mouth. Just when she was about to continue saying something, Mona next to her suddenly raised her hand and said loudly:


    ��Everyone! Michelle and I found a clue here!��


    ��What?��


    Lacie, Chenelle and Winslow quickly moved their chairs and came closer. Roan asked:


    ��What exactly is it?��


    ��A voicemail!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 734： Winslows past experience

    Chapter 734 Winslow��s past experience


    ?At 10:30 in the morning, in a hotel suite in north Harrisburg.


    On the right side of the conference table, Lacey and Chenelle crowded around Mona and looked at the screen on the computer. Mona looked up at Roan and smiled:


    ��This is a voicemail from Adam Davis�� computer that he deleted before, but I restored it.��


    ��Well done.��


    Luo An��s eyes lit up, he poured a cup of coffee for Mona and handed it over, asking:


    ��What is the specific content?��


    ��There are a few sentences in it.��


    ?Mona typed on the keyboard a few times, and a deep, rich, magnetic male voice came out from the computer:


    ��I understand, the money will be sent to you immediately. If we have a chance to cooperate again, goodbye.��


    ����


    ??The voicemail ended quickly, but the room was quiet.


    ??Luo An smiled and waved his hand towards Chenelle. He knew that Chenelle always knew the priorities.


    ??Lacie rolled her eyes wide, Mona and Michelle looked calm, and Chenelle''s eyes lit up instantly, and her breathing became slightly rapid, which made Lacey very surprised:


    "what happened to you?"


    "I trust you."


    ??While Michelle introduced each other''s identity, Chenelle, Lacey and Mona frowned, and Winslow''s face instantly darkened and became very ugly.


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction:


    Roan raised his eyebrows slightly, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of Mona and Michelle. Lacey smiled, patted Chenelle on the shoulder, and whispered:


    ��Sorry, I may be more sensitive to male voices.��


    "introduce."


    As soon as Luo An finished speaking, Michelle, who had been silent, raised her hand to attract everyone''s attention:


    ��After Mona restored the email just now, I linked to the FBI database and compared the man��s voice with the records in the database, and the final results came out quickly.��


    ��Having worked together in the investigation team for so long, I didn��t expect you to be a voice control.��


    ?Chenelle was stunned for a moment. When she saw everyone looking at her in surprise, she quickly took a deep breath to calm down her mood and explained with a little embarrassment:


    ��Good.��


    Chenelle rolled her eyes at Lacey, turned to look at Luo An, and said seriously:


    ��It��s okay, I just...��


    ��Anthony Thorin, 46 years old, mercenary, killer, and pervert.


    ��I have no problem, I won��t delay the investigation team��s business.��


    "I have found it!"


    ?Putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Luo An asked:


    He especially likes to kill targets who are protected by many bodyguards, because in this way he can not only make more money, but also build his own reputation. There are traces of his activities in South America, Africa, the Middle East and other places. "


    ?Michelle looked at the computer screen and recited the message:


    ��Can you find this guy?��


    Roan saw the change in Winslow and saw something was wrong with his expression, so he asked directly:


    ��Winslow, do you know him?��


    Lacie, Chenelle, Mona and Michelle all turned to look at Winslow. Winslow took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:


    ��When I first joined the Hostage Rescue Team, I went on a mission where I fought against Anthony Thorin and his team under my first captain.��


    The four Lacey girls felt their hearts tightening. Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    "what''s the result?"


    ��We have only rescued two-thirds of the hostages.��


    ?Winslow��s voice was extremely cold:


    ��In addition, my first captain and two of my teammates died in that mission.


    Because it was a maritime mission and the situation was special and urgent, it was impossible to salvage the body after falling into the sea. When the funeral was finally held, only the clothes of the three of them were placed in the coffin. "


    After listening to Winslow��s words, Lacey, Mona and Michelle looked solemn. Chenelle frowned and whispered:


    ��Sorry, I didn��t know about this just now.��


    "It doesn''t matter."


    Winslow shook his head and didn''t pay attention to what Chenelle just said. He was just a newcomer on that mission, and the captain didn''t let him face the frontal battlefield.


    ?So Winslow lived to the end, but he didn''t hear Anthony Thorin''s voice, but only kept the name firmly in his mind.


    Sighing out a breath, Winslow looked at Luo An with a serious face, his tone had never been more serious:


    ��Team leader, when arresting Anthony Thorin, there must be more SWAT members accompanying him, and there must be no shortage of heavy weapons and advanced protective equipment.


    Our investigation team must also be cautious and alert, and we must not underestimate the other party! "


    ��OK.��


    Luo An looked solemn and agreed with Winslow''s suggestion in a solemn voice.


    ??The Hostage Rescue Team is one of the best law enforcement action organizations in the Federation. The people who can enter it are all talents with excellent qualities in all aspects. It is for this reason that Luo An originally chose to transfer Winslow to the Special Investigation Team.


    ??Now that we know that Anthony Solin led a team to escape from the hostage rescue team and killed three members of the hostage rescue team, Luo An will never relax his vigilance against this guy.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Roan turned around and wrote Anthony Thorin''s name on the whiteboard, listing him as the prime suspect in the murder of the lieutenant governor and Adam Davis.


    Then Luo An looked at Mona and asked:


    ��Can you find where Anthony Solin is now?��


    ��The specific whereabouts cannot be found.��


    Under Winslow''s hopeful gaze, Mona shook her head, but quickly said:


    ��But based on that voicemail, I found Anthony Solin��s email account, and then during the process of investigating that account, I found that the account still had login records on a website.��


    ��Website?!��


    Winslow��s eyes lit up and he asked quickly:


    ��Is it the kind of underground website that hires murderers?��


    ��Um��no.��


    ??Mona showed the computer screen to everyone, with a strange expression on her face, and said:


    ��This is a ��dating site��.��


    ??Everyone turned their attention to Mona''s computer screen and saw a pale pink page with many photos posted line by line.


    There are search and selection buttons above the photo. You can choose to see only men or only women.


    ? No matter whether you are a man or a woman, the following introduction content is the same, that is, your height, weight, measurements, length, etc., and then you can promote yourself at different prices.


    ������xN


    Look for the words "sug-rdaddy" below the owners of those photos. People on both sides of the conference table had different expressions, and they all understood the specific meaning behind the "friend making" of this website.


    ??Luo An was the first to react. He was almost intoxicated by the federation''s multiculturalism and "freedom" ideas, and he asked directly:


    ��Mona, who is the person Anthony Solin is looking for on this website?��


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard a few times and found a photo of a white man with a strong build, obvious eight-pack abs, and a handsome face who looked to be in his thirties. She found:


    ��The ��good friend�� Anthony Solin found is Elliott, and that��s him.


    ??This guy has a general sense of cyber security. I have found his address, which is in Harrisburg. "


    ?Looking at the pretty tall white man on the computer, Winslow''s eyelids twitched, he suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, looked at Luo An, and asked:


    ��Team leader, what should we do next?��


    Lacie slapped her hands and said bluntly:


    ��Go and catch this guy right away!��


    ?Luo An held his chin in his hand and was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head and said:


    ��I suddenly remembered what Lacey said before. From the time when the lieutenant governor and others died at 12 midnight to when Adam Davis was killed at around 7 pm, there was a gap of nearly 20 hours. This period of time was too long.��


    !!��

 Chapter 735： new victim, clue

    Chapter 735 New victim, clues


    ?Luo An��s words made the detectives on both sides of the conference table tremble. Chenelle was the first to react and said:


    ��You mean that Anthony Thorin might have killed other people during this time?��


    ��For example, this ��Mr. Bodybuilder�� Elliott.��


    Luo An pursed his lips slightly and nodded, thought for a moment, and said:


    ��Winslow, Chenelle, you lead the team to Elliot��s residence that Mona just found out.


    But this time when I went there, I took the agents from the Trace Inspection Section with me, just in case. "


    "clear."


    ? Winslow and Chenelle nodded, simply packed their things and got up to leave. Roan then looked at Mona and Michelle and said:


    ��Mona, Michelle, please investigate the pharmaceutical companies that provide drugs to the hospital where the crime occurred, or who the drug suppliers are, and check the recent situation of these companies.��


    Lacie and Michelle were stunned for a moment. Mona''s mind was spinning rapidly, she thought of something, and asked:


    ��Roan, do you think Anthony Sorin was poisoned by a pharmaceutical company?��


    Lacie also reacted at this time, clapped her hands and said:


    ��Yes, that should be the case!��


    ��Good.��


    "How about it?"


    �� Detectives from the hospital��s surveillance video special investigation team also carefully checked and found no one had tampered with the medicines.


    ��I hope you can tell me some good news.��


    ?Michelle looked stunned, nodded repeatedly and said:


    ��In this case, it makes sense that patients in other wards also died during that time.


    Lacie swallowed the candy in her mouth and raised an OK gesture:


    Because during that time, it happened to be the time for the nurse to change their dressings! Moreover, these people��s medicines include injectable liquids used to supplement nutrition after the operation! "


    ?Luo An picked up the folder and looked at Lacey and said:


    ��Lessie, come with me. Let��s go to the hospital and talk to the doctors and nurses about the supply of medicines.��


    Luo An nodded. He had talked to the doctors and nurses before, and none of them lied or tampered with the injection drips.


    The agents of the special investigation team were divided into three groups. Winslow and Chenille led the team to Elliot''s residence; Mona and Michelle stayed at the hotel and investigated the hospital''s drug supplier online; Luo An and Lei Nishi took a car to the hospital to conduct on-the-spot investigation.


    ??Mona didn��t waste any time, she immediately opened the computer page and with her fingers flying, she said in a concentrated voice:


    ��That��s right.��


    ��It doesn��t have to be a pharmaceutical company. Anthony Solin also has the opportunity to do something during the transportation of drugs!��


    Roan and Lacey hadn''t arrived at the hospital yet. They were driving halfway when their cell phones suddenly rang. When they looked down, they saw that it was Chenille calling.


    Pressing the answer button, Luo An asked:


    ����


    ��Michelle and I will investigate the situation of those pharmaceutical companies.��


    ?In this case, the only remaining possibility is that there is something wrong with the drugs themselves. The liquids were spiked before they were used by doctors and nurses.


    "no problem!"


    ��It��s a pity that I have to disappoint you.��


    Chenelle on the other end of the phone sighed, looked at the male corpse in the room, and said helplessly:


    ��Roan, you were right as you guessed before. Anthony Thorin was indeed busy during those twenty hours, and Elliot also died.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and Lacey, who was driving, quickly asked:


    ��What��s the cause of death? Is it also cyanide poisoning?��


    ��No, the cause of death this time was a broken neck bone.��


    Chenelle replied in a solemn voice:


    ��The murderer is skillful in his skills and can kill with one blow.��


    "damn it."


    After hearing this, Lacey cursed a few times in a low voice, and Luo An then asked:


    ��What did the Trace Inspection Department find?��


    ��There were no signs of struggle at the scene, and there was no damage to the door.��


    The voice on the other end of the phone changed to Winslow, and he introduced: "The Trace Inspection Section''s judgment is that the murderer was an acquaintance of Elliot, and Elliot took the initiative to open the door and invite the murderer into his home.


    ??Then the murderer took advantage of Elliot''s back to him and took action decisively, killing him easily. "


    "I see."


    Luo An did not continue to ask and said:


    ��Next, we will carefully investigate the surveillance near Elliot��s residence and try to find some useful clues.��


    "clear."


    ?? After a brief exchange of words, Luo An hung up the phone. Just as the car arrived at the hospital where the crime occurred, he and Lacey stepped out of the car together.


    ??In the hospital director''s office, Luo An sat face to face with an elderly white man wearing thick glasses, while Lacey sat on the sofa nearby, carefully flipping through the information retrieved by the director.


    ��What Leader Greenwood means is that the poisoner may have done something during the delivery of the medicine?!��


    After listening to Luo An��s analysis, the dean��s face suddenly became very ugly, and he hurriedly said:


    ��After the incident, our hospital immediately replaced all the drugs needed in the high-level protection ward.


    ?The drugs that were replaced are currently in the warehouse downstairs. Team Leader Greenwood can take them all away for inspection. "


    The reason why the director moved so quickly was not because of his kindness as a doctor, but mainly because the patients in the high-level intensive care unit were either rich or noble. Nine people had died so far, and they must not die again.


    ��OK.��


    Luo An nodded. He knew about the dressing change when he first came to this hospital, and had it tested by the trace laboratory department.


    Simply because there are too many types and quantities of drugs, the results of the trace testing department have not yet been released.


    Without further discussion on this matter, Luo An briefly asked the dean about the pharmaceutical companies that supply medicine to this hospital.


    At this moment, Lacey suddenly left the sofa, walked to Luo An with a folder, and whispered:


    ��Team leader, I found information about the latest batch of drug suppliers for the intensive care unit.��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows:


    ��Which one?��


    Just as Lacey was about to speak, Luo Anfa''s cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button and Mona''s anxious voice rang in his ear:


    ��Luo An! I found a pharmaceutical supply company! This company happened to provide medicines to the hospital some time ago.


    ?Of course, the focus is not on the drugs, but on the manager responsible for transporting drugs in that company. He happened to take leave yesterday and is currently out of contact! "


    ?Luo An grabbed the folder in Lacey��s hand and asked:


    ��What��s the name of that pharmaceutical company?��


    ��Hyline Pharmaceuticals!��


    Just like the name on the document, Luo An immediately got up and walked out without hesitation, asking as he walked:


    ��Can you find out where the missing manager lives?��


    ��Found it.��


    ??The sound of typing on the keyboard came from the phone, and Mona spoke quickly:


    ��I��ve texted the location to your mobile phone. It��s not that far from your place!��


    ��Good.��


    Hang up the phone, Luo An and Lacey walked to the parking lot together, started the SUV and drove into the traffic. Lacey, who was sitting in the passenger seat, silently tightened her seat belt. Her face was not very pretty:


    ��Luo An, I feel that this manager is in serious danger.��


    ��The probability is very high.��


    ?Luo An didn��t refute Lacey, he felt the same way.


    ��Sonof-better than eating!��


    Lacey counted on her fingers and frowned:


    ��How many people has Anthony Sorin killed so far?��


    ��Nine people are in the hospital, and three have been silenced. Currently we know 12 people, and we can��t rule out that there are others we don��t know.��


    Luo An replied casually, suddenly his expression changed slightly, he stepped on the brakes, and frowned:


    ��I seem to know where this guy Anthony Solin is now.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 736： Found the trace and silenced him?

    Chapter 736: Found the trace and silenced him?


    ??Twelve noon, a spacious street in the middle of Harrisburg.


    The SUV was slowly parked by Luo An to the side of the road. Lacey was stunned when she heard his words, her face full of doubts and confusion:


    ��Have you guessed where Anthony Solin is? How did you guess it? Where is he?��


    ��Give me the map.��


    ??Roan turned sideways and pulled out a map of the city of Harrisburg from the drawer in front of the passenger seat.


    When arriving in a new city, it has become a habit of most agents of the special investigation team to first purchase a map of the city.


    The reason why I say most of them is because Mona doesn��t like to do this. She prefers to view the electronic version of the map on the computer.


    Seeing the map in Luo An''s hand, and seeing Luo An draw a few dots on the map, Lacey suddenly realized:


    ��Anthony Solin, this guy, has a certain order of how he kills people!��


    On the map, from the hospital where the crime occurred, to the residence of "Mr. Bodybuilder" Elliott, to the missing home of the company manager, to the motel where Adam Davis, the person who secretly took the photos, died together with the two women.


    ?The four locations are not a standard straight line, but the whole presents several line segments that can be connected from south to north.


    ??Mona responded decisively and began to lead Michelle to operate the computer. Roan hung up the phone and restarted the car, and went to the manager''s residence with Lacey again.


    ??Lacie sighed, took out her mobile phone and started calling the Trace Inspection Department. Luo An walked out of the study and began to search the details of the villa to see if there was any surveillance equipment.


    "clear!"


    Luo An put away his pistol, briefly checked the condition of the body, and said:


    ��Like the deceased ��Mr. Bodybuilder�� found by Winslow and the others, the manager also died of a broken neck bone, killed by a single blow.��


    ��That��s right.��


    "Wow."


    Five minutes later, the two successfully arrived at the home of the manager responsible for the pharmaceutical transportation business in the pharmaceutical company.


    ��These four locations are not close together. It is impossible for Anthony Solin to move forward by running. There is a high probability that he will choose to drive.


    Luo An didn��t waste any time. He directly took a chair and stood on it, taking the classical clock off the wall.


    ��It seems we guessed right, it��s another guy whose mouth was silenced by Anthony Thorin.��


    ��It��s not cyanide poisoning.��


    ??Lacie quickly hung up the phone and walked out of the room. She saw Luo An standing in the middle of the living room, staring at the classical clock on the wall. She raised her eyebrows and asked:


    Physically remove the box outside the clock, and a small camera appears in front of the two of them.


    ??Mona, you and Michelle should carefully investigate the surveillance videos in the areas around the four locations above, especially the surveillance on each street, and see if you can find the suspicious car. "


    ?Luo An nodded solemnly. He just recalled the map of Harrisburg in his mind and discovered the situation of the line segments.


    ?Picked up the camera and observed carefully, Lacey��s face was full of surprise:


    ��Is there something wrong with the clock?��


    After shouting for several times but no one answered, Luo An kicked open the door of the villa and led Lacey into the villa. Soon, he found a male body in the study room on the second floor of the villa. Not surprisingly, it was the target manager.


    ��The Trace Inspection Section will be here soon.��


    ��Tear it down and take a look.��


    Without hesitation, Luo An immediately took out his cell phone and called Mona, briefly described the situation he discovered, and then said:


    ��Luo An, how did you find out?��


    ��Intuition.��


    ? Luo An smiled. As soon as he entered the villa, he discovered that the classical clock on the wall of the living room did not match the overall decoration style of the living room.


    Luo An also guessed at first that this classical clock might have been hung here because it was very valuable.


    ??But after observing carefully for a moment, Luo An found a different kind of reflection in the corner of the clock, so he removed it to take a closer look, and the final result did not disappoint him.


    ��Awesome!��


    ??Lacie lightly hit Luo An''s arm with admiration, and Luo An asked her to go upstairs to get the manager''s laptop, and then inserted the camera''s memory card into it.


    After a few simple taps on the keyboard, a somewhat dim but clear surveillance video appeared in front of the two of them.


    The surveillance video was very long, so Luo An skipped the useless parts. Finally, around 12 noon yesterday, he discovered a piece of surveillance footage that was not quite right. In this scene, the manager is standing in the living room making a phone call, and then monitoring the door of the villa in the corner of the screen, a garbage truck slowly stops.


    Not long after the garbage truck parked, the manager who was on the phone seemed to notice something. He quickly hung up the phone and took out a pistol from under the sofa in the living room, and slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor.


    In the surveillance footage behind, there was no gunshot, and the manager never appeared again. Less than two minutes after the manager went upstairs with a gun, the garbage truck slowly left the door of the villa.


    "rubbish truck?!"


    ??Lacie exclaimed, already aware of a certain possibility, Luo An took out his mobile phone again and called Mona:


    ��How is the investigation going on over there?��


    "working hard now."


    ??The crackling keyboard sounds continued, and Mona spoke quickly:


    ��There are too many street surveillance videos near the four crime locations, and the traffic volume is heavy. Michelle and I need a little time.��


    ��I found some clues here.��


    Roan briefly described the contents of the surveillance video he found. Mona and Michelle were also a little surprised after hearing this:


    "rubbish truck?"


    ��It��s a good means of transportation for mercenaries and killers, isn��t it?��


    Luo An grinned and said:


    ��The truck bed behind it makes it easy to load things, and the vehicle itself does not easily attract the attention of others. Many people also dislike the smell of garbage and will not take the initiative to approach the garbage truck.��


    ��That��s right.��


    Lacey nodded in agreement. Before she could continue speaking, Mona��s exclamation sounded on her phone:


    ��Luo An, you are right! Not only did a garbage truck appear near the residence when the manager died!


    There were garbage trucks near the hospital, Elliott''s residence, and the motel around the time of the incident! "


    Lacie quickly asked:


    ��Where is the garbage truck now?��


    ��It eventually disappeared southwest of Harrisburg.��


    ??Mona quickly replied:


    ��Roan, I found traces of this guy Anthony Thorin!


    ?Shortly after the garbage truck disappeared, a Buick sedan appeared and left the area.


    ??Now this Buick car is moving quickly towards Philadelphia! "


    ��It��s Philadelphia again.��


    Lacie raised her eyebrows:


    ��Why do killers like to go to Philadelphia?��


    ��Because the transportation there is convenient, it is very suitable for running.��


    ?Luo An chuckled and said to the phone:


    ��Mona, contact the Philadelphia law enforcement department and keep an eye on Anthony Thorin��s movements. We will set off there immediately.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Mona agreed and hung up the phone, and Luo An immediately called Winslow and the others to explain the situation and asked them to return immediately to join him and others.


    ?Winslow and Chenelle immediately accepted the order and also said:


    ��Team leader, we just discovered something while investigating the surveillance near Mr. Bodybuilder��s residence.��


    "What?"


    Chenelle''s tone was a little strange, she said:


    ��Just now, Luo An, you explained the situation of the garbage truck, and we also found it on the nearby surveillance camera.


    But shortly after the garbage truck left, another taxi followed it. "


    "taxi?!"


    Lacey was very surprised and turned to look at Luo An, who suddenly smiled:


    ��If I��m not mistaken, there are others who are ready to silence me.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 737： Take action, run away

    Chapter 737 Take action and escape


    Atlantic City, New Jersey.


    Atlantic City is located 97 kilometers southeast of Philadelphia and 201 kilometers south of New York. It is a world-famous coastal tourist city and was once a gambling city as famous as Las Vegas.


    ?At 7:30 in the evening, on a street in the north of Atlantic City, in a corner that is not illuminated by street lights, an eight-seater MPV parked quietly on the side of the road.


    ��I didn��t expect that this guy Anthony Solin would end up here.��


    In the back seat of the MPV, Lacey looked at the luxury restaurant not far away with a telescope and took a big bite of bread.


    In a luxurious restaurant, Anthony Sorin was dressed in a suit and sat on both sides of the table with a very handsome white man.


    The two chatted and laughed happily while tasting the delicious food, holding hands from time to time. Anthony Solin occasionally touched each other''s thigh lightly, looking very happy.


    ����


    ?Feeling a little irritated, Winslow grinned and looked away, picked up the coffee and handed it to Lacey, smiling:


    ��Obviously, this guy Anthony Solin is here to have fun in Atlantic City.��


    ��Yes, his table of meals costs thousands of dollars.��


    Vincent:"��"


    ��OK.��


    Winslow and Chenelle, who were sitting next to each other, looked at each other and laughed. The reason why their living standards have been improved is undoubtedly because they are with the right person. Chenelle smiled and asked:


    ??As for Vincent''s first idea, Luo An took out the records of Anthony Thorin''s previous encounters with the hostage rescue team and handed them to him.


    ??Luo An did not plan to carry out an arrest operation in the middle of downtown Atlantic City. He was mainly worried about and avoiding more passers-by being injured.


    ??Mona and Michelle, who are following Roan, are currently calling surveillance cameras in nearby areas and are preparing to keep an eye on Anthony Solin''s movements through the Internet.


    So Roan ordered Lacey, Winslow and Michelle to follow Anthony Thorin, find out where he was staying, and then prepare to raid and arrest him when he was not prepared.


    Facing Vincent��s shocked and complicated eyes, Luo An smiled and patted his shoulder gently and said:


    ��Don��t worry, I don��t like those reporters either.��


    Lacie complained unhappily, then suddenly smiled and said:


    ��He is contacting the FBI and SWAT team in Atlantic City, but there seems to be a slight problem.��


    As for Vincent��s second thought, Luo An didn��t say much and directly called Mr. Clement and Mr. Morgan from the club.


    Lacie took a sip of coffee and said:


    The eight-seater MPV slowly became quiet. In the distance, at the corner of another street, three SWAT personnel carriers were parked in the shadows, and a command van was parked next to them.


    ?At the beginning, Vincent held a negative opinion when Luo An proposed that the arrest operation would require the support of three SWAT teams.


    "But we can trust Roan, he has always been very capable. Our task now is to keep an eye on this guy Anthony Solin."


    ��How��s it going over there in Luo An?��


    ?Five minutes later, Vincent received an order from his superiors, requiring him to fully cooperate with Luo An''s team''s actions.


    First, he believed that Anthony Thorin was not worthy of such a huge effort; second, the three SWAT teams had too many personnel, and the impact during the operation was bound to be considerable. Vincent was worried about attracting the attention of the reporters and being reported, causing trouble.


    In the command car, Michelle and Mona were sitting on the left side making preparations. On the right side, in addition to Luo An, there was a middle-aged white man wearing a black suit.


    ��But thanks to Luo An, we can��t afford it.��


    ??The man in the suit is named Vincent. He is the local FBI in Atlantic City and is responsible for contacting Luo An''s special investigation team.


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Vincent breathed a sigh of relief:


    ��I��m sorry, Team Leader Luo An.��


    "I understand."


    ?? Luo An smiled. The group of journalists from the Federation were definitely one of the most difficult people to mess with. The charm of journalism was fully reflected in them.


    The matter was said and after a brief shake of hands, Luo An and Vincent began to laugh and discuss the subsequent action plan.


    ?Not long after, Mona stopped typing on the keyboard, turned around and said:


    ��Team leader, regional monitoring is ready.��


    ��Good.�� Luo An nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to speak, Michelle suddenly frowned and said:


    ��Team leader, something has happened!��


    ??Mona was stunned for a moment and quickly turned around. Vincent also immediately moved his chair and came closer. Luo An asked:


    "What''s wrong?"


    ��Antoine Solin left the table!��


    ?Michelle tapped the computer keyboard a few times to bring up the internal monitoring of the high-end restaurant, and spoke quickly:


    ��Anthony Solin got up and went to the bathroom just now, but he hasn��t come out yet!��


    ?Luo An frowned slightly and immediately pressed the communicator next to his ear:


    ��Chenelle?��


    Cheniel��s voice soon sounded through the communicator:


    ��Lacey and Winslow have already gotten out of the car and went over to check the situation, so it��s okay so far.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the computer screen without saying much. Michelle, Mona and Vincent also stared at the computer screen, and the command car suddenly became very quiet.


    ��


    ?Suddenly, a harsh electric sound suddenly sounded from the communication devices in several people''s ears, followed by Lacey''s urgent and cursing shouts:


    ��Team leader! Anthony Solin found out something was wrong for some reason. He ambushed us in the bathroom and now ran away from the back of the restaurant!��


    ��Fu-k!��


    ?Chenny immediately yelled and cursed, and Luo An quickly rushed out of the command vehicle without hesitation, got into the SUV next to him, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, and said quickly:


    ��Mona, Michelle, find someone through surveillance immediately!


    Vincent, lead the SWAT team to start the hunt! "


    ��Understood!�� x3


    ??The three of them agreed in unison. Vincent immediately led the SWAT team to carry out the operation. Luo An immediately changed the channel and asked:


    ��Lacie, how are you and Winslow doing now?��


    ��I��m fine, I just got a few punches in the face.��


    Lacey''s tone was a little unhappy, and the sound of running echoed in the background of the communicator, and she said:


    ��But Winslow was hit on the head and bled a little.��


    ��It��s okay with me too.��


    Winslow''s voice sounded through the communicator immediately, his tone full of anger:


    ��That cousin, Anthony Thorin, drove a Ford eastward. The license plate number is xxx! Let��s chase him immediately!��


    "found it!"


    As soon as Winslow finished speaking, Mona''s voice immediately followed:


    ��Luo An, that car is moving quickly towards Route 63 on the east side! You turn left at the intersection ahead and go straight! Vincent and the others are not far behind you!��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An immediately turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. In the astonished eyes of passers-by and drivers, the SUV disappeared in front of them like black lightning.


    In the personnel carrier not far behind, several SWAT team members�� eyelids jumped when they saw the SUV disappear instantly. Vincent twitched his face and pressed the communicator:


    ��Agent Mona, it seems, maybe, maybe we won��t be able to catch up with Team Leader Luo An.��


    ��You turn right.��


    ??Mona''s tone was very calm, she had expected this, and said:


    ��Follow my command, we will surround Antony Thorin from the front.��


    ����


    At eight o''clock in the evening, there were a lot of vehicles on Highway 63, and many drivers were cursing and waiting to move forward.


    ?Suddenly, a Ford sedan suddenly jumped out of the traffic, moving left and right at high speed. Many drivers were frightened and cursed, and some of the more grumpy guys took out pistols from under their buttocks.


    But before they could fire, several grenades suddenly fell out of the Ford sedan.


    ��?!��xN


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 738： ass

    Chapter 738**��s ass


    At 8:30 pm in downtown Atlantic City, on Highway 63, which was crowded with traffic, a Ford sedan was moving quickly from left to right.


    ?Because the Ford sedan overtook too quickly and forced its way past other people''s cars several times, many grumpy men were so angry that they took out their pistols and prepared to greet the driver of the Ford sedan.


    Before these people could shoot, Anthony Thorin, the driver of the Ford sedan, took out several grenades and threw them out of the car window.


    ��?!��


    ��WTF!��


    ��Holysh-t!��


    The grenade that fell to the ground caused all the passers-by and drivers to change their expressions. They all subconsciously stepped on the brakes and turned the steering wheel urgently, trying to avoid or go around.


    Boom! boom! boom!


    �O


    ��That bunch of **** from the FBI found me so quickly this time. It��s really unexpected. It seems like we can��t�� Fu-k!��


    Driving the Ford, he continued to move left and right in the traffic. Anthony Thorin opened the window and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. Thinking of the battle experience in the restaurant just now, he frowned slightly and whispered to himself:


    ?The next second, deafening explosions sounded one after another, smoke and dust filled the air, and several cars that could not dodge were directly knocked to the ground by grenades.


    Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!


    ??The **** of the fast-moving SUV was hit by several bullets. Luo An, who was in the driver''s seat, ignored the group of grumpy old men behind him. While staring closely at the Ford car in front, he pressed the communicator and said in a solemn voice:


    ��Are these two **** guys racers?!��


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ��Mona, contact the hospital in Atlantic City and ask them to rescue people behind me!


    ??Contact the Atlantic City police again and ask them to find a way to divert the cars in front of me so that there are fewer cars on the road and prevent more people from being injured!


    ?In addition, inform Vincent and the SWAT team to be careful when arresting Anthony Thorin. This guy is very dangerous and he seems to have a grenade in his hand! "


    At the scene of the car series collision, some passers-by and drivers were surprised and looked at the fast-moving SUV with admiration; some were angry and took out their mobile phones to call the police; some even directly raised their guns and fired, aiming their guns. The SUV fired a bunch of bullets.


    ?Except for Anthony Solin, the passers-by and drivers behind who were knocked over by the grenade were also stunned and looked at the black SUV with disbelief on their faces.


    ��Perfect.��


    ��Call the police! Call the police quickly! Let someone catch these two racing terrorists!��


    ?Then he passed through the oncoming lane and quickly went around the scene where the car was bombed and the car was involved in a series of collisions. Apart from frightening several drivers in the oncoming lane and breaking some parts, the SUV continued to catch up with almost no damage!


    ��Motherfu-ker!��


    ? ? In the middle of his words, Anthony Solin casually glanced at the rearview mirror and immediately cursed, with a look of shock and disbelief on his face, because the SUV actually caught up with him again!


    ?In the Ford sedan at the front, the instigator, Anthony Thorin, looked through the rearview mirror and saw this scene without any sense of guilt. Instead, he grinned.


    ? I saw the SUV like a cheetah on the grassland, darting left and right to avoid various parts and debris on the road without slowing down.


    ??The reason why Anthony Solin did this is very simple. He just found out that there was a car chasing him from behind, so he planned to add some obstruction to the guy chasing him and create some obstacles for him.


    In addition, some vehicles behind did not brake in time, and cars collided one after another. This short stretch of road was suddenly covered with parts and car debris. Orange fire, piercing screams, curses, and screams instantly resounded throughout the area. this area.


    Behind Anthony Solin''s back, he reached out and calmly wiped the high-end suit that had a few small holes damaged during the fight in the bathroom. He picked up a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, then took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on his eyes. Start the car and move forward.


    "clear!"


    ?Mona immediately agreed and began to coordinate all parties. Luo An turned off the communicator, drove the SUV around a truck, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom again.


    At the same time, in the Ford car ahead, Anthony Thorin was suddenly surprised when he saw through the rearview mirror that the speed of the SUV increased by one mile. "Sonof! Where did the FBI come from?!"


    ?While cursing, Anthony Solin took out a grenade again, aimed at the path of the SUV and threw it.


    ??The black grenade drew a fatal arc in mid-air. Without any hesitation, Luo An immediately grabbed the Glock 18 and stretched his left hand out of the window, aimed at the grenade and pulled the trigger.


    boom!


    Boom��


    ?The bullet passed through the grenade and exploded instantly. The fragments were scattered and smoke filled the air. Several fragments hit the windshield of the SUV and made holes, but did not break the entire glass. The SUV continued to pursue forward through the smoke and dust.


    ��Fu-kJesusass! (*Jesus�� ass!)��


    ?In the Ford car in front, Anthony Thorin saw this scene through the rearview mirror, and his face became very solemn while cursing.


    ??Although I don��t know who the driver of that SUV is, there is no doubt that the other person��s driving skills are very good, and the shooting skills that the other person just showed are no less than myself, and this person��s fighting ability cannot be any worse.


    ?These thoughts flashed through his mind instantly, and the traces of disdain and disdain that existed in Anthony Thorin''s eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by solemnity and caution.


    ?Looking up, he saw a large truck full of goods not far away. Anthony Solin narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped on the accelerator and chased after it.


    ?At the same time, in the SUV behind, Luo An was loading grenades and shock bombs into his waist while driving.


    It is not polite to come back but not go back. Luo An has a bad memory and does not like to take revenge overnight for fear of forgetting. Anthony Solin just gave him two waves of tricks, and now it''s time to give him some small gifts in return.


    Ahead, Anthony Thorin drove a Ford sedan to the side of a high-speed truck, took out his pistol and aimed it at the truck''s tires.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    The next second, two gunshots rang out at the same time.


    ?The truck''s tires were broken by bullets, and the high-speed truck immediately twisted. Although the truck driver tried his best to maintain the direction, the entire truck eventually rolled to the left uncontrollably.


    ? ?A loaded truck traveling at high speed rolls over, which is always an extremely scary thing. The Ford car under the direction of the truck''s rollover felt like a black shadow covering the sky and pressing down on it.


    ?At this time, Anthony Thorin in the Ford car had a face full of panic. The reason for the panic was not that the truck rolled over, but that his rear tire was also broken!


    ??The two gunshots just now, one was Anthony Solin breaking the tires of the truck, and the other was Luo An shooting and breaking the tires of the Ford car.


    ?In Anthony Solin��s plan, he would blow out the tires of the truck, then accelerate away before the truck rolls over, allowing the oncoming truck to run over the SUV. Finally, he would return and use a grenade to completely kill the guy in the SUV!


    ?But he never expected that the guy in the SUV actually shot at the same time as him, blowing out the tires of the Ford sedan! This makes it impossible for him to speed away from here quickly!


    ��*#%������


    ?Looking at the oppressive black shadow of the overturned truck pressing down on him, Anthony Thorin''s pupils shrank suddenly and he mouthed greetings. He quickly chose to abandon the Ford car, kicked the door open and jumped out.


    �O


    Jumping out of the moving car, Anthony Sorin rolled on the ground several times, and his sunglasses flew to no where.


    Boom��


    ?The next second, a deafening sound sounded, and the truck rolled over and fell to the ground, directly crushing the Ford car into a pancake.


    Anthony Thorin, who was lying on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned his head, only to see the SUV speeding straight towards him without slowing down!

 Chapter 739： sniper, bomb

    Chapter 739 Sniper, bomb


    ��Youfu-kingpu-sy! (You bitch*!)��


    Seeing the SUV that was heading straight towards him, Anthony Thorin cursed with his eyebrows pounding and quickly got up from the ground to avoid it.


    ? He ??is obviously the bad guy, but why does the FBI in this SUV feel worse than him, and he doesn��t hesitate to hit people with his car? !


    ??The speed of the SUV was much faster than Anthony Solin imagined. As soon as he got up from the ground, he had no time to escape, and the car rushed in front of him.


    Antoine Thorin saw this and had no other choice. He gritted his teeth and jumped up on the spot, jumping towards the front of the SUV.


    �O


    With a muffled sound, Anthony Solin hit the front hood of the SUV hard. He tightly grasped the edge of the hood to control his body, endured the pain and looked up at the driver''s seat, and finally saw Luo Driving clearly. Peace of mind.


    At this time, Luo An was also looking at Anthony Thorin. Seeing the ferocious face and sinister eyes of the other person, he wished he could kill him right now. Luo An raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a sunny smile:


    ��Good evening, Anthony Thorin.��


    ??The windshield had been punched with several holes by grenade fragments, so Anthony Thorin could hear Roan''s greetings.


    Antoine Thorin always treated people with courtesy, so he greeted him directly:


    ��Luo An! How are you?!��


    "Mona, locate my position immediately. There is a sniper in the building 500 to 800 meters east of me. Let Winslow and Lacey take care of that guy."


    ��I��m fine.��


    ??Luo An responded simply, drank a bottle of [Swift Potion] and a bottle of [Strength Potion] in a place where others could not see, and then rushed out and chased Anthony Thorin.


    Luo An was not angry at all after being scolded. He still had a smile on his face, but he just stepped on the brakes to the bottom.


    ��Vincent and the SWAT team members will surround you right away, it will take about a minute!��


    There was another muffled sound, and Anthony Thorin fell to the ground. He only felt pain in his back and internal organs. He looked up at the SUV with a ferocious face, and suddenly felt something sneer.


    From the driver''s seat of the SUV, Luo An took out his pistol and prepared to get out of the car. At the same time, he pressed the communicator and said:


    ��Mona, locate my position, I have grasped it...��


    ����


    Before he finished speaking, Luo An''s pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly felt a chill running from his waist up to the back of his head. His hair stood on end, and without any hesitation, he immediately bent over and lay down.


    �O


    ��Fu-kyou!��


    Bang!


    ?The next second, the glass where Luo An''s head was originally shattered instantly, and even the car door next to it was hit with a hole that could be penetrated!


    ��Sniper!��


    ��Good.��


    Not far away was the bottom of the overturned truck, and Anthony Solin hit it heavily.


    ?Mona responded quickly, adding:


    ??A harsh friction sound suddenly sounded, and several long black ruts were instantly left on the ground. Under the influence of huge inertia, Anthony Thorin suddenly flew out uncontrollably.


    ??Luo An understood the specific situation instantly, while Mona on the other end of the communicator had a face full of anxiety. She only listened to half of Luo An''s words when a gunshot rang out, and she hurriedly asked:


    "clear!"


    ? Luo An moved to the other side of the SUV and quickly got out of the car. When he saw Anthony Sorin starting to run away quickly, he said in a solemn voice:


    In a tall building 600 meters east of the SUV, a white man with short hair was lying on the ground holding a sniper rifle, with an incredible expression on his face.


    He was on Anthony Sorin''s team, and Anthony Sorin called him right after he escaped from the restaurant.


    ??The white man followed all the way and finally arrived at the building when Luoan drove Anthony Solin away with his car, and sent word to Anthony Solin that he was in place. According to past habits and experience, the short-haired man would take advantage of captain Anthony Thorin to attract the enemy''s attention, sneak attack and shoot to kill the enemy. This trick has always worked and never failed.


    But the trick just now failed! The short-haired man witnessed with his own eyes that the handsome FBI seemed to know that he was going to shoot and ducked his head in advance to avoid the bullet!


    ��A coincidence, definitely a coincidence.��


    ??The short-haired man took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart. He didn''t believe that anyone could feel the trajectory of the bullet in advance, so he turned the gun again and slowly aimed at Luo An.


    On the other side, Anthony Thorin, who was running away quickly, had equally shocked eyes. He couldn''t figure out why Luo An escaped the bullet just now. In the end, he could only blame it on the special situation today, and the short-haired man was not prepared in time and occasionally missed.


    ?Looking at Luo An, who was chasing him, Anthony Thorin showed a sinister smile. In order to create opportunities for the short-haired man, he began to deliberately run towards an intersection with few obstacles.


    boom!


    Suddenly, there was a sound of glass breaking, and the window of a flower shop at the intersection exploded and fragments fell to the ground.


    ??The short-haired man fired again, but as he and Anthony Thorin looked at him in disbelief, Luo An rolled around on the ground, dodged the bullet again in advance, and at the same time took out a grenade and threw it out.


    Boom��


    ?The grenade exploded not far away from Anthony Solin. The impact caused him to fall to the ground again. There were also many wounds from the grenade fragments on his waist, thighs, abdomen and other parts of his body.


    ?Severe pain was felt throughout his body. Anthony Solin struggled to get up quickly and hid behind a car. He was not in the mood to care about the wounds on his body at this time. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost. He asked loudly in shock:


    ��FBI! How did you do that?��


    ??Luo An walked around the wall and stood in a blind spot where snipers could not see. He raised his pistol and aimed at the car where Anthony Solin was hiding. He smiled slightly and said loudly:


    ��Intuition.��


    ����


    Antoine Thorin''s eyelids twitched, he tilted his head and vomited blood, not believing a word of Luo An''s words.


    Before Luo An could continue to speak, three heavily armed SWAT team members suddenly rushed out from three directions. While standing in the sniper''s blind spot, they also blocked the other three roads at the intersection. Vincent held a loudspeaker and loudly shouted:


    ��Antony Thorin! You are surrounded! Put down your weapons immediately and raise your hands!��


    ? Vincent finished speaking, and there was silence for a few seconds behind the car. Anthony Sorin''s laughter suddenly sounded:


    ��I��m surrounded? FBI! Your joke is great! You succeeded in making me laugh!��


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly and Vincent frowned. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Anthony Thorin suddenly walked out from behind the car.


    ?Different from wearing a suit just now, Anthony Solin had taken off his upper body jacket and shirt at this time, only wearing pants and leather shoes, showing off his strong muscles and abdominal muscles in front of everyone.


    ?No one was in the mood to examine Anthony Solin''s figure. Everyone focused on the patches and metal wires on his chest.


    Seeing these things, Luo An''s expression changed slightly, all the SWAT team members frowned, and Vincent''s expression changed drastically:


    "This is��"


    ��This is the signal source of the remote-controlled bomb.��


    Antoine Thorin grinned widely, put a gun to his head, with a very bright smile on his face, and said loudly:


    ��I planted five bombs in the high-end apartment building behind the restaurant just now.


    ??Only I know their location, and whether they explode depends on my heartbeat.


    ?If you don��t believe it, you can try it and see if those bombs will explode! "


    ������xN


    The intersection instantly became extremely quiet. All the SWAT team members looked at each other without making a sound. Cold sweat broke out on Vincent''s forehead, and finally they all turned to Luo An.


    At this moment, Mona��s voice suddenly sounded from the communicator in everyone��s ears:


    ��The sniper has been successfully captured by Winslow and the others!��

 Chapter 740： Anthony Thorins request

    Chapter 740 Antony Thorin��s request


    At the east end of downtown Atlantic City, at nine o''clock in the evening, the intersection where Route 63 intersects with a certain street.


    ?Four SWAT teams armed to the teeth, holding blast shields and rifles, stared closely at the center of the intersection.


    Facing the dark gun muzzles all around, the man in the middle of the intersection did not panic at all. He held the pistol in his right hand and put it against his chin, with a very arrogant expression on his face:


    ��How about it? Do you want to give it a try? See if those bombs explode!��


    ����%#*����


    Faced with Anthony Sorin''s provocation, Vincent, who was holding a loudspeaker, cursed all the curses he had ever heard in his life. The expression on his face was extremely ugly, but in the end he still didn''t dare to curse out loud, and just got close to Luo An. Beside him, he asked in a low voice:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, what should we do?��


    ??? Before Luo An could speak, Anthony Sorin in the center of the crowd first pointed his hand here and shouted:


    ��That FBI! That guy who is about as handsome as me but a little less handsome than me. What��s your name?��


    The man Anthony Solin was talking about was Luo An. Luo An narrowed his eyes and was about to walk out from behind the wall. Vincent quickly reached out and took his arm:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, be careful of that guy sneaking up on you.��


    ��It��s okay, I��m sensible.��


    Hearing these words, all the SWAT team members had strange expressions on their faces. Vincent''s face changed suddenly, and he was subconsciously preparing to shout rejection.


    ��??!��


    Antoine Thorin curled his lips with disdain, looked at Luo An up and down for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled:


    ��But to be honest, you are indeed very good, just a little bit behind me.


    ??Whether it is from the perspective of Luo An��s physical health or from the perspective of Luo An��s physical health, Vincent does not want anything to happen to Luo An.


    ��First, my sunglasses were broken just now, buy me a new pair quickly.


    After listening to Luo An��s words, Anthony Solin��s face turned slightly gloomy. After a few seconds, a wild smile appeared on his face again, and he said loudly:


    It would be interesting if I pressed you next to a mirror, what do you think? "


    Considering Anthony Solin��s sexual orientation, everyone present understood what he meant by ��pressing against the mirror��.


    "Greenwood...green wood? Green woods? What a poor name."


    Just as Anthony Solin was about to speak, Luo An suddenly interrupted him and added:


    ��By the way, your sniper teammate has been captured by us. Don��t forget him when making requests. It��s not a good choice to make a sniper sad.��


    "Green wood, I like your directness, and I don''t talk nonsense. There are three requests in total. As long as you agree, I will tell you the location of the bombs."


    Second, give me my teammate back, he is my brother. "


    ??Roan smiled and patted Vincent on the shoulder, walked out from behind the wall calmly, looked at Anthony Solin and replied:


    ��Greenwood, you can call me that.��


    Michelle��s expression in the distant command car changed slightly, and suddenly, a crisp sound of something breaking sounded beside her.


    ?Completely ignoring the others around him, Anthony Solin stared at Luo An with his eyes fixed on him, raised the corners of his mouth, and made his third request:


    ��Third, I want you to����


    As the protagonist being ridiculed, the smile on Luo An��s face did not change much and he said:


    All the SWAT team members frowned and said nothing. Vincent cursed a few words in a low voice. Mona, who was watching this scene through the surveillance camera from a distance, her face instantly darkened.


    ��Let��s talk about this later. Let��s talk about your requirements first. What do you want?��


    ����


    ?Luo An stretched his hands forward, with a bright smile on his face:


    "Please say."


    ?Michelle turned around and saw that Mona had an expressionless face, but she accidentally broke the pen in her hand into two pieces.


    ? Michelle: ������


    Taking a long and heavy breath, Anthony Sorin said the second half of his words:


    ����I want Green Wood to fill up the passerby��s car next to you, fill it with gas, and let us drive it away.��


    ?Seeing that except Luo An himself, the expressions on the faces of everyone else were very exciting, Anthony Solin muttered a few words unhappily, and then said loudly:


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Green Wood, I''m not crazy yet. I won''t ask you, a dangerous guy, to be our hostage." "That''s a pity."


    Luo An said pleasantly:


    ��It��s okay if you want sunglasses, I��ll ask someone to buy them for you.


    But the second requirement, I think needs to be changed.


    How about I give you the sniper and in return you tell me the location of one of the bombs? "


    ��What a greedy Mr. Green Wood.��


    Antoine Thorin said something sinister, but still agreed:


    ��Okay, no problem, leave it to me and I��ll tell you the location right away.��


    Antoine Thorin agreed so quickly that Vincent behind the wall suddenly felt his heart sink.


    ?Thinking about the worst-case scenario, since Anthony Solin dared to agree, it meant that he was very confident in the location of the remaining four bombs and confident that the FBI would never find them.


    ??If there were no remaining four bombs, everything would be fine. After all, there would be no casualties.


    ??But if there are really four bombs, once they explode... Vincent''s heart skipped a beat, he quickly pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��Agent Mona, in the high-end apartment building behind the restaurant...��


    ??Mona sent a message to Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle, asking them to quickly **** the sniper to the crossroads. She quickly replied to Vincent and said:


    ��Luo An has just asked me to contact the agents from the Trace Inspection Section and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Center. They are rushing there and are expected to arrive in two minutes.��


    ??Vincent breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the center of the intersection again. He saw laughter coming from there from time to time. Luo An and Anthony Thorin were actually chatting and laughing a few meters away.


    ?)


    ? Vincent looked confused*, and the SWAT team members around him also looked strange.


    They were the ones who witnessed the whole process with their own eyes. When Vincent was talking into the communicator just now, Roan and Anthony Solin were talking about the scene of the fight just now, and had a heated exchange about hitting someone with a car.


    ��That move you did just now really scared me, Mr. Green Wood.��


    Antoine Sorin laughed and said:


    ��I really didn��t expect that you, an FBI agent, would be more ruthless than me. You would hit me with your car?��


    ��The situation was urgent. Aren��t we afraid that you would run away?��


    ?Luo An first sighed, then said with a smile:


    ��But you are also very skilled, and your reaction speed is really fast!��


    Hearing Luo An��s compliments, Anthony Solin��s smile became even brighter. The two quickly changed the topic to marksmanship and fighting, and the conversation became more and more heated.


    People around you: ������


    ?Not long after, Winslow and Lacey arrived at the intersection with the sniper, and Chenelle also bought the sunglasses that Anthony Thorin wanted.


    "Time flies."


    ??Roan waved his hand and asked the Winslows and the other three to bring the sniper to him. He put the sunglasses into the sniper''s hand, then looked at Anthony Solin and sighed:


    ��To be honest, I had a great chat with you this time.��


    "Yeah yeah."


    Antoine Thorin also grinned, waved his hand towards the sniper, and said to Luo An:


    ��You, green wood, are indeed very interesting, but we should leave today. We can talk again when we have the opportunity.��


    ��Also good.��


    ?Luo An pushed the sniper. The sniper looked confused and subconsciously walked towards Anthony Solin with his sunglasses on his face.


    ?Just after taking a few steps, the sniper suddenly felt a huge force coming from behind, and then the whole person flew forward uncontrollably!

 Chapter 741： plot against each other

    Chapter 741: Calculating each other


    From the beginning to the end, Luo An had no intention of letting Anthony Thorin and the sniper leave.


    The truth of the case, the dozens of dead victims, and the painstaking investigation along the way could not allow Luo An to make that decision.


    ?However, those five bombs did not surprise Luo An. When Anthony Solin said this, he used "emotional perception" to detect the other party, and the results showed that they were all truthful.


    ?Before the operation started, Luo An had carefully thought about the preparations that Anthony Solin might make, and he had also thought about bombs, but he never expected that there would be so many as five.


    Based on this, Luo An chose to agree to negotiate with Anthony Solin, and made his request appropriately, giving the illusion that he really wanted to negotiate with the other party, and then find a way to remove the bomb.


    ?Chatting with Anthony Thorin is also to relax the other person''s vigilance and take the opportunity to quietly reduce the distance between the two.


    ??When Winslow and the other two arrived with the sniper, Luo An followed the previous negotiation and let the sniper go to Anthony Solin.


    ??The moment Anthony Solin turned his attention to the sniper, Luo An whipped out a whip kick without hesitation, hitting the sniper''s back hard.


    �O


    There was a muffled sound, and the indescribable terrifying force made the sniper''s face turn pale, and he fell uncontrollably towards Anthony Thorin.


    Anthony Solin was observing him, and Luo An naturally discovered this, so he judged that the opponent had not let down his guard at all, and was always looking for opportunities to counterattack.


    Because Anthony Solin is very aware of the true strength of his sniper teammates, it may be a coincidence that a bullet was dodged.


    ?Bang bang bang bang��


    ??The sudden scene did not leave Anthony Thorin frozen in place. Instead, he laughed loudly and turned the gun, aiming at Luo An and preparing to pull the trigger directly.


    ?Putting himself in another person��s shoes, Luo An stood in Anthony Thorin��s shoes and found that the most suitable way to kill him was to shoot him directly.


    ?? Luo An just tried to dispel Anthony Solin''s vigilance with small talk. Anthony Solin was actually observing Luo An carefully and judged that Luo An would definitely take action against him.


    "ah-"


    ?Luo An feels that if Anthony Solin is not caught this time, there will be endless troubles in the future. Anthony Solin also wanted to take this opportunity to kill Luo An directly to silence him.


    ?Three bullets instantly penetrated the human flesh, and a scream suddenly sounded, but Anthony Solin''s expression changed, because the screamer was not Luo An, but his sniper!


    ??Under Anthony Solin''s shocked and puzzled gaze, Luo An moved from behind the sniper to his side like a ghost, then aimed at Anthony Solin''s left and right thighs and left and right arms and pulled the trigger.


    ?Four gunshots exploded suddenly from the side, giving Anthony Thorin no chance to react. Four bullets penetrated his limbs with great accuracy.


    As for whether he shot Luo An, Anthony Solin was not worried about whether the surrounding SWAT members would shoot him.


    ��Hahaha, I knew it!��


    ??The heartbeat detection device that determines whether the bomb explodes or not is still on his chest. Which one is more valuable, an FBI agent or five bombs that will cause a large number of casualties? Anthony Solin believes that those people will make the right judgment.


    Both bullets were dodged. The word coincidence was completely forgotten by Anthony Thorin, and he decided that Roan must be killed no matter what, because he did not want to see an enemy who could dodge bullets again in the future.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Three gunshots rang out instantly. Considering that Luo An had dodged the sniper bullets before, Anthony Solin directly chose to fire continuously this time, without giving Luo An any chance to dodge the bullets!


    ??So before the opponent fired, Luo An hid directly behind the sniper''s body.


    At the same time, Anthony Solin''s first reaction was to shoot and attack others, which also made Luo An firmly believe in another judgment of his, that is, Anthony Solin has not lived enough and still can''t let go of eating, drinking and having fun. The bomb is just The means he uses to intimidate others.


    �O


    The second after Anthony Solin was shot in his limbs, Luo An jumped up and slammed his knee into Anthony Solin''s abdomen, knocking him to the ground. Then he raised his fist and punched Anthony Solin in the cheek. go. ��Fu-kYou!��


    ?Anthony Solin, who fell down, cursed loudly, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and turned his gun again to aim at Luo An.


    Bang!


    ??Roan kicked the pistol out of Anthony Solin''s hand, then put his legs on Anthony Solin''s arm, and suddenly forcefully broke it to the side.


    Click!


    "ah-"


    There was a clear sound of bone breaking, Anthony Thorin''s smooth eyes bulged and he let out a scream. His right arm was bent back at a terrifying angle by Luo An.


    Immediately afterwards, Luo An not only did not stop the attack, but continued to raise his fist and hit Anthony Solin in the face!


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The sound of punches hitting the flesh can easily arouse the violence and wildness in human beings, but the people around him were not in such a mood at all. Instead, their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly rushed towards Luo An.


    ��Stop it quickly! Luo An!��


    ��Don��t do this! Team Leader Luo An!��


    "Luo An! Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Don''t beat him to death!"


    The scene was chaotic. Winslow and Chenelle hurriedly stepped forward to hug Luo An. What happened between Luo An and Anthony Solin just now was so fast that they didn''t even react. They found Luo An starting to beat him violently. Anthony Thorin on the ground.


    A group of SWAT team members and Vincent quickly pulled Anthony Solin away from the ground to keep a certain distance between him and Luo An.


    ??They were also shocked and their eyes were wide open. Luo An''s movement speed far exceeded their expectations, which shocked them.


    The nearest SWAT team members�� eyes changed when they looked at Luo An, because the four or five of them had not grabbed Luo An just now. Luo An alone was stronger than several of them!


    ��I��m fine.��


    ??Luo An broke away from Winslow and Chenelle''s arms with a few simple moves. Facing everyone''s nervous or worried eyes, he waved his hands and said:


    ��Don��t worry, my mental and psychological state are fine.


    ??I was a little heavy-handed just now, mainly because I was worried that Anthony Solin put the kind of medicine in his teeth that would kill him if he bites it. "


    ??Although it is judged that Anthony Solin has not lived enough, and the bomb is just his means of intimidation, it is always right to be just in case. After all, Anthony Solin''s life is connected to these five bombs at this moment.


    ?Of course, there is also some vengeance here that is unhappy with what Anthony Thorin said just now, but not much, just a little bit.


    ������xN


    Looking at Anthony Thorin, who had completely fainted and lost consciousness, as well as his swollen pig-headed face and mouth without several teeth, all the SWAT team members twitched at the corners of their mouths. Vincent''s eyelids trembled even more, and he began to think about where he had offended Luo An before.


    ??Selectively ignoring the admiring and shocked eyes of everyone, Luo An waved his hand and asked them to call an ambulance. Anthony Solin was not dead, he was just fainted and the bomb would not explode. He pressed the communicator and asked:


    ��Mona, how is the investigation of the high-end apartment building behind the restaurant going?��


    ��It��s going pretty well so far, I��ve found one.��


    Mona on the other end of the communicator replied. After a long time passed and the intersection was almost cleared, Mona suddenly added in a serious tone:


    ��Luo An, the trace inspection department found another bomb, but they said the two bombs are different!��


    ��What��s different?��


    ��That is to say, they were not made by the same person!��

 Chapter 742： Interrogation begins, cell by window

    Chapter 742 The interrogation begins, the cell next to the window


    The next day, at ten o''clock in the morning, an interrogation room at the FBI''s Atlantic City branch.


    ??This is a very spacious room. There is an interrogation table in the center of the room, which is as long as a conference table. There are also four chairs on the left side for the use of interrogators.


    On the right side of the interrogation table, there is a metal chair that is made of iron and welded directly to the ground. There are even two iron rings under the metal chair to fix the ankles of the interrogated person.


    At this time, Anthony Solin was sitting on this metal chair. His right arm was tied with gauze and hung in front of his chest. His feet and ankles were tightly cuffed. His head was also wrapped in thick gauze. Only a pair of gauze could be seen. Eyes fixed on the door of the room.


    ����


    ?Not long after, the door to the interrogation room was opened from the outside, and Chenelle, Mona, Michelle and Roan walked in one after another.


    Antoine Thorin didn''t even look at the three women in front. He directly focused his attention on Luo An, who was at the back.


    ?At this time, Luo An was smiling and holding a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. It was the same pair that Anthony Thorin asked Luo An to compensate him yesterday.


    ��Good morning, Mr. Thorin.��


    Chenier and the three of them sat on chairs and began to organize things to record the words of the interrogation. Roan sat down on the interrogation table, holding coffee in his hand, looking down at Anthony Solin, and smiled:


    ��This pair of Gucci sunglasses is really good, you have good taste.��


    Antoine Thorin stared at Luo An and asked:


    ��How is Harvey?��


    ??Harvey is the name of the sniper.


    ��Fortunately, that guy is lucky.��


    ?Luo An picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile:


    ��The two shots you fired yesterday missed his vital part, and the rescue was timely, so the injury is not serious and will not delay his going to prison for further studies.��


    Antoine Thorin was silent for a few seconds, stared at Luo An, and asked in a solemn voice:


    "how did you do that?"


    ?Luo An put down the coffee cup:


    "What?"


    ��Those two bullets.��


    Antoine Solin��s eyes were full of doubts and confusion:


    ��How on earth did you avoid it?��


    ?Luo An smiled and replied:


    ��People��s physiques cannot be generalized. My physical fitness is better and my reaction speed is faster.��


    ����


    Anthony Thorin��s eyes were filled with speechlessness. Before he could continue to speak, Luo An interrupted him first and said:


    ��You��ve already asked me two questions, and it��s my turn to ask you.


    ??Explain the story that happened in the hospital. "


    ��Is there any explanation?��


    Antoine Solin leaned back in his chair and admitted very simply that he was the one who killed the deputy governor and several other victims.


    ??The method of poisoning was the same as Luo An''s previous judgment. Anthony Thorin first investigated the time of the Lieutenant Governor''s surgery and what drugs would be used after the surgery.


    ?Anthony Solin then used some means to contaminate the drugs originally stored in the hospital so that they could no longer be used, forcing the hospital to urgently contact the pharmaceutical company and ask them to send a new batch of drugs.


    Finally, Anthony Solin bribed the manager and planted the poison he had prepared for a long time in the new medicine.


    ??Looking at Anthony Thorin, who sounded careless and without any sense of guilt, as if he just killed a few chickens, Mona, Michelle and Chenil suddenly frowned and looked very ugly.


    Luo An was still very calm and then asked:


    ��Who hired you to kill someone?��


    ��That��s another thing, Mr. Greenwood.��


    Antony Thorin chuckled and subconsciously wanted to cross his legs, but his ankles were cuffed and unable to move, so he had to twist his **** and change into a more comfortable position. He raised his head and looked at Luo An and said:


    ��I asked to be put in a prison with a court and allowed to play every day.


    I can only be in my cell, and I don��t like roommates.


    In addition, the room must have a window, preferably with green plants outside the window, and preferably in a sunny direction..."


    Antoine Solin said a lot, even toothpaste brands have requirements.


    ?Luo Ancheng did not refute, and even occasionally smiled and nodded.


    Seeing Luo An��s actions, Anthony Thorin raised his eyebrows and asked: ��So, you agree?��


    ��Of course...disagree.��


    ?Luo An let out a long, loud gasp, causing the smile in Anthony Solin''s eyes to freeze instantly.


    ��You seem to have made a mistake, Mr. Thorin.��


    ??Luo An put the coffee aside, jumped down from the interrogation table and patted Anthony Solin on the shoulder. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said coldly:


    ��Now you are a prisoner and you are the one who is going to prison. What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me?


    Are there any more bombs? Don��t forget, the staff even checked your **** before you entered this room! "


    Antoine Thorin suddenly widened his eyes and became very angry. Just as he was about to say his greeting, Luo An added in a cold voice:


    ��One last chance for you, Anthony Thorin, to tell everything you know.


    Otherwise, based on the crimes you have committed, I guarantee you will go to the prison you least like.


    ?Those guys are all talented people, and you also know the hobbies of those in the prison. With your appearance and figure, you will definitely be very popular. "


    ��Fu-kYou!��


    As soon as the words fell, Anthony Thorin began to struggle wildly on the chair and cursed, staring at Luo An with his bloodshot eyes.


    ??Luo An was very calm. He picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp. Then he raised his left hand and looked at his watch and started the countdown:


    ��Nineteen, eighteen, seventeen����


    ��*#%������


    ?Antoine Solin was still cursing, but as the countdown became smaller and smaller, his greeting voice gradually stopped, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.


    When Luo An counted down to "8", Anthony Solin suddenly asked:


    ��Green wood, aren��t you afraid that if I don��t say a word, you won��t be able to solve this case?��


    ? Luo An sneered and did not answer, then jumped directly from "8" to "6", and finally "4" and "2"...


    ��Wait a minute, I said!��


    ?Seeing that Luo An not only did not stop counting down, but also accelerated the speed, Anthony Solin quickly shouted:


    ��I don��t know who hired me! But I know who knows who that guy really is!��


    ??The following words were a bit convoluted, but everyone present understood what Anthony Solin meant. Luo An crossed his arms over his chest and looked at him coldly:


    "say clearly."


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Antoine Thorin cursed in a low voice. He had seen through Luo An''s plan, which was not very clever, but it had bitten his weak point, making him unable to resist at all.


    In order not to be criticized day after day in the future, Anthony Sorin took a deep breath and chose to tell everything he knew:


    ��The person who hired me found me online, and we have been in contact through the Internet.


    So I don��t know who that guy is at all, and I don��t know what grudge he has with the lieutenant governor. I��m just a knife, okay? "


    ?Luo An didn��t say anything, Chenelle then asked:


    ��You just said that you know who knows the true identity of the employee. Who is this person? Where is he?��


    ��He is a killer.��


    Speaking of this, Anthony Thorin laughed out loud and said:


    ��This guy is very interesting. He was also found by the hirer. His goal was to silence me after I completed the task.


    ??But this guy''s strength is average. I killed the unlucky guy who was playing games with two women in the motel, and I found him not long after leaving Harrisburg. "


    ��Where is this killer now?��


    ��Maybe in a wood processing factory.��


    Antoine Solin spread his hands and said with a smile:


    ��I threw him into a wood chipper by the roadside.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 743： Shut up, investigators

    Chapter 743: Silence, Investigator


    Wood chippers are not uncommon in the Federation.


    Many workers working for federal municipalities, when dealing with trees on both sides of the road, directly pull the wood chipper onto the road, throw the useless wood into it, break it into sawdust and take it away.


    ? Luo An has seen wood chippers on the side of the road in the past. He doesn��t know much about its operating procedures, but he knows that it is very dangerous.


    ?For example, in a movie called "I Love My Family" in a previous life, a guy who could spit acid water accidentally fell into a wood chipper when he flew down from the sky. The final result was horrific.


    Hearing that the killer was thrown into the wood chipper by Anthony Thorin, the three women frowned immediately, and Luo An asked:


    ��Before you killed this killer, did you tell him who hired him?��


    ��He didn��t know, but he told a lot of information.��


    Antoine Solin said that after he defeated and captured the killer, he had a careful "chat" with him.


    ?The killer''s name is Laird, and he is an expert in bomb making. The way he tried to silence Anthony Thorin was to use a bomb.


    ?Those bombs were discovered by Anthony Solin, four in total, and were later used by Anthony Solin to threaten the FBI.


    ?In addition, Anthony Solin also made one himself.


    ?Mona, Chenelle and Michelle raised their brows and looked at each other, understanding why the Trace Inspection Section agent said earlier that the bomb was not made by one person.


    ��The killer was also contacted online by someone hired.��


    Antoine Thorin did not see the eyes of the three women, but was still introducing the information he got from the killer, and said:


    ��After the killer accepted the order, the hirer sent him the information about me, Anthony Sorin, so that the killer would know about my strength and behavioral habits, so that he could kill me and assassinate me in a targeted manner.


    ?But this incident also reminded the killer. Since the employer can hire him to kill me, will he continue to hire others to silence and kill him in the future? "


    ����


    ??The room was very quiet, Anthony Sorin''s words were simple and clear, and the killer''s thoughts were not difficult for Mona and the three girls to understand. After all, it was a silence mission, and it was a normal psychology to worry that they would also be silenced.


    ?However, Mona still felt very speechless. The employee behind the scenes approached Anthony Solin and asked him to kill the deputy governor. During this period, Anthony Solin silenced and killed many people.


    ??Later, the hirer found another killer and tried to silence and kill Anthony Solin... If another killer was found to silence him, wouldn''t the matter of silencing him never end?


    ? Luo An��s eyes moved slightly, noticing the problem in Anthony Solin��s words, and asked:


    ��So, the killer started to worry. What did he do when he was worried?��


    ��He asked someone to investigate the true identity of the man behind the scenes.��


    Antoine Thorin laughed out loud and said:


    ��The killer was worried that he would be killed, so on the way to kill me, he also found someone to investigate the situation of the person behind the scenes.


    ??In case he really becomes the next target of the hirer, the killer will be ready to come directly to talk to the source of everything. "


    After asking the killer for the investigator��s contact information and taking away the bombs, Anthony Solin went back on his word and threw the other person into the wood chipper.


    ?Worried that the employer might find someone else to kill him, Anthony Thorin thought for a long time and finally chose to go to Atlantic City to have fun.


    ?On the surface it was just for fun, but in reality it was to observe the situation behind it. Once everything was safe, Anthony Solin would go find the investigator, ask for clues from the other person''s mouth, and then have a good talk with the employer.


    ?Those bombs hidden by Anthony Solin were traps he made specially to ambush the second silencer who might appear.


    ? It is for this reason that Anthony Solin would get up and go to the bathroom in the restaurant, just to seduce the second silencer who might appear.


    ?As a result, Anthony Solin never expected that the silencer did not appear, but the FBI showed up a lot.


    ?In Anthony Solin��s expectation, the FBI would not investigate him until at least half a month later. By then, he would have already completed the conversation with his employer and left the federation.


    ??The speed of the investigation by Luo An and others far exceeded Anthony Solin''s expectations. He never dreamed that the FBI would be so fast!


    ��I can give you my contact information.��


    After telling what happened, Anthony Solin looked at Luo An with complicated eyes, both shocked and angry. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:


    "But I also have a requirement, that is, my cell must have a window!"


    ������x3


    ??Luo An finally successfully obtained the investigator''s contact information, but he did not agree to Anthony Solin''s request, saying that he was just an ordinary leader of a special investigation team and had no ability to convince the judge or the prison warden.


    ����#%*���� ???? Selectively ignoring Anthony Thorin''s swear words, Luo An took the three women out of the room. When the door closed, he looked at Mona and asked:


    ��How about it, can you find out the situation of the investigator?��


    ��I looked up the phone number Anthony Solin gave and it turned out to be a burner phone.��


    ??Mona held the laptop in her arms, frowned slightly as she looked at the information on the screen, and said:


    ��But give me some time and I will find him.��


    ��OK.��


    Roan patted Mona on the shoulder and told her not to worry, then took the interrogation record from Cheniel��s hand and said with a smile:


    ��Before that, let��s go to the unlucky killer��s house to take a look.��


    Chenelle nodded slightly and said:


    ��You mean, the killer may have other preparations?��


    ��The probability is very high.��


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    ��In order to kill Anthony Solin, the killer made four bombs at once, which shows that he was very cautious.


    ??Just in case, this kind of person will most likely not find just one person to investigate the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. There should be other backup preparations. "


    ��That makes sense.��


    ? Chenier, Mona and Michelle all nodded, and Roan didn��t waste any time and directly ordered and arranged:


    ��Mona, Michelle, stay behind and use the Internet to track down the investigator.


    Chenelle, wait a minute, you and I, along with Winslow and Lacey, we will go to the killer''s house to look for clues. "


    "no problem!"


    The three women each started to prepare. Luo An looked at the interrogation record in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly. After thinking for a long time, he took out his mobile phone and called Veranith:


    ��Good morning, sir, I would like to ask you to help investigate something...��


    ����


    ?The next morning, in a mid-range residential area in the south of New York City, a black troop carrier came speeding from a distance.


    ?The car parked on the street outside the gate of a two-story apartment. More than a dozen SWAT members immediately rushed out of the car and surrounded the front and rear doors of the apartment.


    The leader of the SWAT team quickly approached the apartment door with a blast shield. The second SWAT team member behind him did not hesitate and directly raised a battering ram and smashed it.


    �O


    There was a loud noise, and the apartment door fell to the ground instantly. All SWAT team members quickly rushed into the apartment, quickly checked every house, and shouted loudly:


    ��FBI!��


    "Raise your hand!"


    "lay down your weapon!"


    Every room in the apartment was quickly checked, and except for a young woman in the study on the second floor, there was no one else in the house.


    Facing the black muzzle of the gun, the frightened young woman did not hesitate and directly raised the French military salute:


    ��Don��t shoot, I surrender.��


    ?The SWAT team members moved out of the way, and Luo An walked over wearing sunglasses, grinning and saying:


    ��Don��t be afraid, we are good people.��


    ����


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 744： identity

    Chapter 744 Identity


    ?At 10:30 in the morning, in a mid-range residential area in southern New York City, a two-story apartment building.


    ? A group of SWAT team members stood guard at the door of the apartment with guns, and several agents from the Trace Inspection Section were in the study room on the second floor, searching computers and processing hard drives in an orderly manner.


    Next to the study room is a bedroom that is mainly pink and has a girly atmosphere. Luo An is sitting on a chair in the bedroom, folding his hands on his chest, quietly looking at the young woman sitting on the bed.


    The young woman has a delicate face and short blond hair. She looks less than thirty years old.


    At this moment, her eyelids jumped as she looked at Luo An in front of her. Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile:


    ��It seems you recognize me.��


    "certainly."


    ??The young woman swallowed. She was in the intelligence business, so she knew there was no need to pretend to be stupid, so she replied:


    ��Roan Greenwood, the youngest special investigation team leader at the FBI��s Washington headquarters, and also the most handsome investigation team leader.


    ??We have solved many major cases, and the detection rate has been maintained at an incredible 100%..."


    ??The young woman said a lot of praises to Luo An, but her mouth felt dry. At the end of her speech, she stopped and looked at Luo An, who nodded slightly:


    "continue."


    I don��t feel embarrassed, and I have nothing to refute. After all, it��s all the truth.


    ����


    ??The young woman twitched the corner of her mouth, smiled awkwardly, and said stumblingly:


    ��Team Leader Greenwood is really... eclectic.��


    ? Seeing that the young woman could not continue speaking, Luo An, who was a little unfinished, brought the matter to the point and said:


    ��Janessa, 26 years old, has no father or mother. She grew up in an orphanage. She is a private detective and makes money by buying and selling intelligence and secretly taking photos of couples who have conflicts, right?��


    ��Please call me professional detective, Captain Greenwood.��


    When it comes to her profession, Janessa is very serious:


    ��Holmes is my idol, but I will definitely surpass him. Providing information to people in need is my main job, and taking photos of conflicting couples cheating is just my part-time job.��


    ??Luo An did not argue with Janessa on this matter. He briefly talked about the killer''s situation, then took out the photo of the killer he found in the killer''s house from his pocket, shook it slightly, and asked:


    ��What is the final result of what this guy asked you to investigate?��


    ??When Anthony Solin was first interrogated, everyone thought that the investigator found by the killer was a male, and Luo An was no exception.


    ??As a result, Mona checked around and finally discovered that the investigator the killer was looking for was actually a woman named Janessa.


    ?Furthermore, the FBI database shows that she has been working in this industry for five years. She looks young, but is actually an experienced veteran.


    ?Seeing the photo in Luo An��s hand, Janessa was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:


    ��It turns out that Team Leader Greenwood brought so many people to me today for this matter.��


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    ��It seems you have found out.��


    ��I did find out a lot of things.��


    After learning the purpose of Luo An��s trip today, Janessa slowly let go of the big stone in her heart, the smile on her face became more charming, she blinked her eyes and said with a smile:


    ��Leader Greenwood, in Shangyanshang, I have spent a lot of time and energy investigating this matter. Isn��t it inappropriate for you to take it all away with just one sentence?��


    ??Janessa had no intention of asking Luo An for money, she just wanted to develop a relationship with Luo An.


    She has been working in the intelligence industry for so long, and she knows that Luo An��s girlfriend is called Mona, and she is a beautiful woman with long legs.


    But he is not bad either. If he can develop a relationship with Luo An, he will have a layer of protection from the official camp in the future. If he works harder, he may be able to obtain official sources of information.


    ?Janessa doesn��t feel like she��s at a disadvantage if she does this. She��s sleeping with anyone, so why not find the best one, not to mention Luo An is so handsome.


    ??Janessa��s eyes lit up slightly, she licked her lips and asked with a smile:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, what do you think?��


    ��In Shang Yan Shang, I think what you said makes sense.��


    ?Luo An smiled and nodded, agreeing with Janesa''s statement, but before Janesa could speak, Luo An asked:


    ��But I am not a businessman, I am a member of the law enforcement department. Since you say you are a businessman, I have a question to ask:


    ?You have been doing this business for so long, have you paid all the taxes you should pay? �� ? ? Janessa: ������


    A few minutes later, Luo An led a group of SWAT members and left the apartment slowly.


    In the car next to her, several agents from the Trace Inspection Section were carrying out tests on a laptop, which contained the information and materials handed over by Janessa.


    It didn��t take long for the agents from the Trace Inspection Section to put it together and show it to Luo An. Luo An took a brief look at it, took out his cell phone and called Mona:


    ��It��s me, Luo An.��


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone said:


    "Winslow and Lacey are ready. What''s the result over there?"


    ��Janessa found out that the person who ordered the killer to be silenced was named Joseph Hank.��


    Looking at the information in his hand, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said:


    ��Joseph Hank, 56, is a department store tycoon from Pennsylvania.��


    ��OK.��


    The sound of typing on the computer keyboard immediately sounded on the phone, and within a few seconds, Mona said:


    ��I have found out where Joseph Hank is now and sent the address to Winslow and the others.��


    ��Good, launch an arrest operation immediately and tell Winslow and the others to be careful when arresting people.��


    "clear."


    After a few brief explanations, Luo An took the initiative to hang up the phone.


    ??This operation was designed by Luo An to divide the troops into three groups. Mona and Michelle still sat in the center as the brains of everyone, responsible for coordinating information.


    ?Luo An went to New York alone, and together with the local SWAT team, came to get information from investigator Janessa.


    ? Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle packed their equipment and waited quietly. They only waited for Luo An to get the information and immediately set off to arrest the people.


    ?Now that the three Winslows had set off, Luo An started the car and left the community, starting to drive toward Washington, D.C.


    Driving all the way, Luan just drove to the outskirts of Washington, D.C., when Winslow called him:


    ��Luo An, the operation went smoothly and the person has been captured.��


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction and then asked:


    ��Are there any casualties?��


    ��No, not even anyone injured.��


    Winslow on the other end of the phone had a strange tone and said:


    ��When Lacey, Chenelle, I, along with the local SWAT team, went to Joseph��s home to carry out an arrest operation, Joseph showed no resistance at all.


    He even took the initiative to raise his hands and asked us to handcuff him.


    We thought that Joseph had some kind of plan, such as a sneak attack on the way back, so in the end we chose to take a detour back to the SWAT headquarters. "


    After listening to Winslow��s description, Luo An smiled and said:


    "There''s no harm in being cautious. Thank you for your hard work. Let''s take a quick rest and **** Joseph back."


    "no problem."


    Winslow agreed without hesitation.


    ??The three of them thought that there would be a battle in this operation, and they were all prepared for the battle. However, they did not expect it to go so smoothly. In the end, the time spent on the journey turned out to be huge.


    ??At 3:30 that afternoon, Winslow and his team returned to FBI Washington, D.C., and Luo An took Michelle into the interrogation room. Before he could speak, Joseph laughed first:


    ��You��re Roan Greenwood, right?


    I know your father. To be honest, we have a good relationship. "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 745： the truth

    Chapter 745 The truth


    Luo An��s father, named Charles Greenwood, is a professor of accounting at Boston University and also serves as a consultant for many companies, so Luo An��s family conditions were very good when he was a child.


    ??The mother��s original name was Beverly Sheffield. After marrying Roan��s father, she changed her husband��s surname according to the federal tradition and became Beverly Greenwood. She was a doctor at a children��s hospital.


    ?In Luo An��s mind, the memory related to his father is almost zero, because when Luo An was just 4 years old, Charles Greenwood died in a street shooting.


    I have many memories of my mother, Beverly. She was a gentle yet stern woman who pulled Luo An along as he grew up alone.


    ?One week after Roan��s 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, his mother, Beverly, was also killed in a street shooting on her way to work. The murderer, like the murderer of his father, Charles, was missing.


    Luo An has never put these two things behind him. From becoming a full-time agent in the No. 5 Investigation Team, to leading the Special Investigation Team alone, to being promoted to Washington, D.C., Luo An has never given up on the investigation.


    However, the time span was too long. There was no surveillance back then. Several witnesses died of illness or old age. In addition, shootings were common in Boston. The police ended the investigation hastily without leaving any useful information. As a result, Luo An��s investigation has been stagnant. .


    ??When Luo An returned to Boston with Mona and bought back the old villa, in addition to nostalgia, he also wanted to do some research to see if he could find any useful information in the old villa.


    ? It turned out that his mother Beverly did have a lot of belongings, but Luo Anzai searched carefully many times and still found nothing.


    In the interrogation room, hearing Joseph mention his father, Luo An instantly recalled this situation in his mind.


    ??Heart moved slightly but the expression on his face did not change at all. Luo An sat down on the chair with a smile and said:


    "Sorry, Mr. Joseph, it seems a little late to start a relationship with me at this time."


    ��It��s not a relationship, I just feel a little emotional when I see you.��


    Joseph sat on the chair behind the interrogation table, his hands cuffed, smiling and shaking his head.


    ??He was wearing a high-end suit and had many wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, but his long brown hair was meticulously combed and he had a slicked back hair. The first impression given was that this guy was very shrewd.


    ��Let��s talk about the murder of Lieutenant Governor Whitmore of Pennsylvania.��


    Luo An changed the topic away from his father and asked:


    ��Mr. Joseph, do you have anything to say about this matter?��


    Joseph didn��t say any more nonsense. He leaned back in his chair and admitted everything:


    ��There��s nothing to say, I��m the one looking for the killer.��


    ��What��s the reason?��


    Michelle was writing furiously on the side, quickly recording Joseph''s words. Roan then asked:


    ��Is it convenient for us to chat?��


    ����


    ??The room became quiet for a moment. Joseph was silent for a long time and finally sighed. He raised his head and looked at Luo An with very kind eyes:


    ��I have a son who is a little younger than you. He just turned 18 this year, but he is as handsome as you.��


    ?Luo An��s eyelids twitched slightly, feeling as if Joseph was taking advantage of him.


    ��But a year ago, my son was accused of reading.��


    ??Joseph didn''t pay attention to Luo An''s expression. He raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the interrogation room, and said to himself:


    ��I called Whittemore and asked him to do a favor.


    ??As it turned out, Whitmore didn''t answer my call. The person who answered the phone was his idiot secretary. The idiot secretary said that Whitmore was at a critical stage of the election and couldn''t be involved... Fart! "


    �O


    At this point, Joseph suddenly slammed the interrogation table hard, making a loud noise, and shouted:


    ��I don��t want to be involved!


    ??That guy from Whitmore��s cousin was able to marry a woman from the Morgan family and reach his current position. Every step of the way was inseparable from my help!?????Now he succeeded and became the Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania! Just turn your back and deny anyone? He must pay for his actions! "


    ?Michelle frowned, and Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, understanding the story Joseph told.


    When his son was accused and imprisoned, Joseph asked Whitmore for help, but Whitmore refused.


    ?This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Federation. After all, the politicians and businessmen in the Federation are very difficult to distinguish between each other. It is normal for them to work together in confusion and disconnection.


    ?However, Luo An didn��t understand one thing and asked:


    ��Mr. Joseph, besides Lieutenant Governor Whitmore, you should know other people, right?��


    As a Pennsylvania general merchandise tycoon, Joseph had both money and status, and it was impossible for him to only know Whitmore as a politician.


    ��Yes, I do have many other friends.��


    Joseph understood the subtext in Luo An��s words and did not hide it. He explained simply:


    ��But before I had time, I said that my son was very handsome, so he was targeted by a gangster as soon as he entered the prison.


    While I was contacting other people to ask them to help change my son to a better cell, he had already been tortured by that pervert.


    By the time my lawyer saw my son, he committed suicide. "


    Joseph was 59 years old and had only one son. He was deeply saddened when he learned the news of his son''s death.


    ?In order to retaliate, Joseph mobilized all his connections and first killed the guy who violated his son, and then used other means to get rid of a large number of people in the local law enforcement department.


    As for Lieutenant Governor Whitmore, from Joseph''s perspective, he was the cause of the tragedy.


    ??If Whittemore answered his call directly and didn''t let the idiot secretary waste time with his words, then he would have time to contact other people for help.


    ?The son will not be tortured and will not commit suicide; even if he is tortured, his people will rush to rescue him in time, and the son will not be allowed to commit suicide.


    ��So Lieutenant Governor Whitmore is the culprit.��


    Joseph''s eyes were red, he stared at Luo An, and said in a serious voice:


    ��He must die.��


    ����


    ??Michelle frowned, and Roan''s expression remained unchanged. The death of his son had a great impact on Joseph. In addition, from his perspective, Whitmore''s behavior was regarded as a kind of "betrayal."


    As for whether his son actually took the reading material, it didn''t matter in Joseph''s eyes. Anyway, it was not his son who was wrong, but someone else.


    ??After questioning for a while, Luo An took Michelle and left the interrogation room.


    There is nothing much to say about this case at this point. Joseph admitted everything, and the evidence in the hands of the special investigation team also pointed to him. Then it was time for Michelle to start leading the detectives of the special investigation team to perform procedural document work.


    ??Arranged the detectives to follow Michelle to handle the follow-up of the case, Luo An returned to the team leader''s office, took out his cell phone and called Veranith.


    Veranith was very satisfied with the brief introduction and explanation of the situation behind the case. After a brief communication, Veranith asked Luo An not to forget to send him the relevant documents later, and then hung up the phone on her own initiative.


    ?After a few seconds of silence, Luo An returned to his seat and began to process the documents at hand. At the same time, he sent a text message to Mr. Morgan, telling him that the case had been solved.


    In the evening, everyone in the special investigation team got off work. Luo An asked Mona to go home first, and then drove to the temporary prison.


    ��Good evening, Mr. Joseph.��


    ??Joseph was temporarily brought to an interrogation room, Luo An''s lips curled up slightly:


    ��Let��s talk.��

    7:30 pm, Washington, D.C., a temporary prison.


    ?In a small interrogation room, Joseph changed into an orange-red prison uniform, but his slicked-back hair style remained the same, and his hair was still meticulously combed.


    ��Good evening, Roan.��


    Sitting on the chair with his hands cuffed, Joseph looked at Luo An across the interrogation table, suddenly laughed, and asked:


    ��Can you get me a cup of coffee? I��m getting older and it��s hard to keep up.��


    "certainly."


    Roan did not refuse. He found the prison guard and took a coffee pot, poured Joseph a cup of coffee, poured himself another cup, and then said with a smile:


    ��I��m afraid the coffee in prison doesn��t taste as good as the ones you used to drink.��


    ��It��s okay, I just took a few sips to refresh myself.��


    ��But he was not as thick-skinned as you at that time.��


    Joseph''s face was full of memories, and he said a lot of words to praise Luo An''s father. Finally, he lowered his head and turned his eyes to Luo An, and added with a smile:


    "And he is very popular with women. You look like him, so you should be able to feel this."


    ��Unfortunately, not really.��


    Luo An nodded and accepted Joseph''s compliment calmly. Joseph was slightly taken aback and said with a smile:


    Luo An was no longer surprised that rich people could always get such privileges in the Federation. He did not discuss this topic and went straight to the point:


    ��I knew you were here because of this matter.��


    ��Charles is a very good accountant and a good friend. He is honest, hard-working and smart...��


    But the contact between me and Charles is more about work and company business, and I don��t know much about his life.


    Luo An didn��t beat around the bush, and Joseph stopped talking nonsense. He spread his hands and said:


    ��I was also shocked when I learned that Charles was shot and died.


    ��Mr. Joseph, you said before that you knew my father very well.��


    ��Counting the time, more than twenty years have passed. Time flies so fast.��


    ?At that time, Luo An��s father, Charles, had already obtained a doctorate in accounting and was doing exchange seminars at a university in Pennsylvania.


    ?Luo An picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, then asked:


    ??Joseph crossed his hands on his abdomen, leaned back on the chair, looked at Luo An with a smile, a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and said:


    "Now that you have guessed why I came to you, what do you want to say?"


    Later I went to the funeral in person to express my condolences. Your mother Beverly was very sad. I couldn��t ask too many questions at the time, so I left Boston after attending the funeral. "


    Later, Charles and Beverly got married, and the two bought the villa in Boston where Roan had lived since childhood. Part of the money spent came from the salary of this consultant position.


    ?? Joseph picked up the coffee and took a sip. The bitter taste made his face wrinkle a little more. Then he put down the coffee cup, raised his eyebrows at Luo An, and said with a smile:


    ��My lawyer has convinced the prison that they will provide me with high-quality coffee. It��s just that the temporary detention here is a little difficult.��


    ? Joseph said that more than 20 years ago, his company encountered a lot of troubles due to tax issues.


    The two met by chance. Charles spent more than a month helping Joseph solve the tax problem. Joseph also hired Charles to become his company''s tax consultant.


    ��Indeed.��


    ?Luo An��s brows moved slightly:


    ��In other words, you don��t have any clues at all?��


    ��Not really.��


    Joseph crossed his legs, looked at Luo An quietly, and said:


    ��In addition to my own company, Charles works as a consultant for a number of companies.


    When we were chatting, I asked him why he did this. The reason Charles gave me was that he wanted to give Beverly a superior life, so he was short of money.


    ?At the funeral, Beverly asked our friends to help investigate who killed Charles. I also sent people to investigate, but the final investigation result was nothing. "


    Speaking of this, Joseph took a deep look at Luo An and said in a deep voice:


    ��In the Federation, there are not many things that we rich people can��t find anything about.�� ? ? ������


    Roan narrowed his eyes slightly and understood the subtext of Joseph''s words.


    With thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, Luo An pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked:


    ��Mr. Joseph, do you have any suggestions?��


    Joseph smiled, raised his head and touched his hair, and said:


    ��I am fifty-nine years old this year and will soon be sixty. I have completed two-thirds of my life. Coupled with the money I earned in the first half of my life, I have the capital and ability to avenge my son.


    You are not yet thirty years old this year and you have reached the position of leader of the special investigation team. Your future must be very bright.


    ?If you want to reach the future, the first thing you need to ensure is that your body is fine. What do you think? "


    ?Joseph''s words are not difficult to understand. He suggested that Luo An should be patient for now and not investigate. When his status reaches a certain level and he has accumulated enough, it will be too late to take revenge.


    Roan did not express his opinion on Joseph''s suggestion. After chatting for a while, he called the prison guard and asked him to take Joseph back to the cell.


    Before being taken away, Joseph took a deep look at Luo An, smiled at Luo An, and finally left with the prison guards.


    ?Looking at Joseph''s disappearing back, Luo An was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly grinned, turned around and left the temporary prison.


    "I''m back."


    Half an hour later, Luo An returned to the villa carrying several bags of vegetables, beef and other ingredients, stood at the door of the villa and shouted loudly:


    ��Mona, come here and help me!��


    "coming!"


    ??Mona shouted in the bedroom on the second floor and hurried downstairs to help get things. She put the things Luo An bought back into the refrigerator. She smiled and asked:


    ��Are you going to eat at home tonight?��


    Luo An stood aside and washed his hands. Hearing this, he looked confused:


    "you mean?"


    ��Let��s go out to eat tonight, I��ll treat you!��


    ??Mona put her hands on her hips and said with pride on her face:


    ��Remember that ��Rose��s City�� restaurant in South Washington, D.C., we��re going to eat there tonight!��


    Rose��s City, a very famous creative restaurant located in Washington, DC, has been hailed by some media as the best restaurant in the Commonwealth.


    ??The restaurant is busy but does not receive many people every day. Ordinary people can get a place for dinner on the first floor by queuing up in the morning;


    ? ? Rich people can get a dinner quota in the VIP room on the second floor through the reservation made by the introducer. The dishes on the first floor and the second floor are different.


    ??In the past, when they were on vacation, Luo An and Mona not only traveled to various places to take photos, but also went to various restaurants to eat and drink and taste delicious food.


    The restaurant Rose��s City is so famous, so Luo An naturally wanted to try it out, but he couldn��t get the VIP room that he had reserved for half a month.


    "Wow."


    Hearing that Mona had successfully reserved a seat, Luo An raised his eyebrows in surprise:


    "how did you do that?"


    ��It��s a secret, I won��t tell you.��


    ??Mona chuckled, reached out and patted Luo An on the shoulder, holding her head high and said:


    ��Hurry back to your room and change clothes. We��ll drive there to eat later. I want to see what delicious food this restaurant has!��


    Roan wiped his hands, hugged Mona and kissed her on the mouth, lowered his head and asked with a smile:


    ��I change clothes very quickly, but you, are you ready to change into a dress?��


    ��Of course I bought it as a new one.��


    ?Mona said of course:


    ��The other dresses are more than a month out of date.��


    Luo An: ������

 Chapter 747： Restaurant food, all in one

    Chapter 747 Restaurant Food, One Body


    At nine o��clock in the evening, the VIP room on the second floor of Rose��scity.


    ??The layout of the VIP room is somewhat similar to the word "Hui". In the middle of the house is where several chefs cook, separated by a neither narrow nor wide aisle, with dining tables surrounding it for diners to sit.


    In order to ensure privacy, there is a considerable distance between the dining tables, and there are green plants, fish tanks, etc. as barriers in between.


    ??The overall decoration style of the VIP room is mainly light brown, which is quiet but not lacking in warmth and romance. The slightly yellowish light shines on the dishes on the table, making it easy for people to calm down.


    ��You two have been waiting for a long time.��


    ? ? It was Luo An who was wearing a suit. While chatting in a low voice with Mona who was wearing a long skirt, a beautiful waitress wearing the restaurant''s standard attire gently placed two plates in front of the two of them.


    The waitress arranged the tableware for the two of them and introduced with a smile:


    ��This is the first appetizer and one of our signature appetizers, caviar with coconut and lychee cake.


    Caviar or coconut lychee cake may taste a little strange if eaten alone.


    But if you enjoy the two together, the saltiness of the caviar will perfectly blend with the sweetness of the cake, which will definitely give you a novel and delicious experience. "


    ��It means that the ordinary customers on the first floor are the guinea pigs of this restaurant.


    The chefs in their restaurant create a variety of new dishes every day for those who have worked hard to queue up all day to enter the restaurant to taste them. Whether they are good or bad depends on God��s will.


    ��Cheers.��


    ?Mona frowned slightly:


    Luo An also raised his eyebrows and felt a little surprised. He was not in a hurry to taste it. He turned to look at the waiter and asked with a smile:


    But this dish seems to be available on the first floor? "


    ??Luo An shook his head and did not continue the discussion on this matter. As soon as he picked up his fork and was about to taste the dish, he found that the cake on his plate had disappeared.


    Luo An reluctantly picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her:


    ?)


    Mona: ������


    ?The outstanding and delicious ones will be recorded and added to the menu in the VIP room on the second floor, and the unpalatable ones will naturally be gone. "


    Luo An looked at Mona speechlessly. Mona swallowed the cake in her mouth, as if nothing happened, picked up the wine glass and touched it to Luo An, with a beautiful smile on her lips:


    ��Luo An, what does she mean?��


    ?Luo An took a sip of red wine and explained:


    ??The pretty waitress shook her head and explained with a smile:


    ��The dishes on the first floor of the restaurant are different every day, and they are always innovative.


    The dishes in the VIP room on the second floor change every week. The styles may be slightly smaller, but the taste will definitely satisfy the taste buds of customers. "


    ��Sir, you may have misunderstood. This dish is not available on the first floor.��


    After a few simple explanations, the waitress bowed and left, leaving the diners some private time to enjoy the food.


    ��I remember that your restaurant��s slogan said that the dishes on the first floor are different from those on the second floor.


    ��I didn��t quite understand.��


    ?Looking at the dinner plate that looked like a small castle, with caviar dotted on it that looked like a forest of small cakes, Mona��s eyes lit up instantly. She didn��t know if it was delicious or not, but it was really beautiful.


    ��It looks like this cake is really delicious.��


    ??Mona took a sip of red wine and nodded with a smile:


    ��I��m already looking forward to the next dish.��


    As the two continued chatting, several dishes were served one after another, including eight-ingredient seafood soup, lobster with secret sauce, special flavored seared steak, sea urchin and olive pasta, and vanilla cream nut ice cream...


    The eight dishes are of different shapes, but they are all very beautiful and have their own flavors. Mona��s eyes lit up after eating them, and Luo An also smiled.


    ��It��s a really good restaurant.��


    ?On the way home, Luo An nodded with satisfaction:


    ��Other than not being full, there��s really nothing wrong with these dishes.��


    ����


    ??Mona glanced at Luo An speechlessly. The two returned to the villa to rest for a while, and then began to return to the room to prepare for a bath and rest. After taking a shower, Luo An entered Mona''s bedroom in a familiar way. Mona snorted coldly when she saw this, grabbed Luo An''s arm and pressed him down.


    Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Luo An took a few deep breaths, gently patted Mona who was lying on top of him, and whispered:


    ��Take a bath and go to sleep.��


    "Not in a hurry."


    Mona''s cheeks were slightly red, and she reached out to comb a strand of hair that was stained with sweat on her forehead and was a little messy. Without leaving Luo An, she sat up directly leaning on Luo An''s chest and looked at him condescendingly, with a serious face:


    ��Did Joseph give any useful clues tonight?��


    Hearing Mona mention this matter at this time, Luo An frowned slightly:


    "Mona, you..."


    As soon as Luo An started to speak, Mona reached out and covered his mouth. She lowered her head and stared into Luo An''s eyes, and said in a deep voice:


    "Luo An, I have never been the kind of woman to hide behind you. When we encounter problems, we face them together. We are one."


    ??Mona knew that Luo An had been silently investigating the death of his parents. She had also used her own methods to help investigate the clues, but like Luo An, she found nothing.


    After interrogating Joseph in the afternoon, Mona saw the interrogation record recorded by Michelle. Knowing Luo An��s character, she immediately guessed that Luo An would definitely find time to talk to Joseph.


    ??The facts were not what Mona expected. Luo An did let her go home first and drove to the temporary prison.


    We went to Rose��s City restaurant for dinner tonight, mainly because Mona wanted to help Luo An relax. She was a little worried that Luo An would get some clues and do stupid things emotionally.


    ??Luo An smiled, took away Mona''s hand covering his mouth, reached out to hold Mona in his arms, and kissed her gently on the ear:


    ��Mona, meeting you is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me.��


    ��I love you, Roan.��


    ??Mona gently bit Luo An''s neck and asked again:


    ��Have you got any clues from Joseph��s side?��


    ��Yes and no.��


    ??Luo An briefly described the conversation at that time. When she heard Joseph say that the rich people like them had found nothing, Mona''s pupils shrank. Just as she was about to stand up, Luo An took the first step and hugged her hard, and said in a condensed voice:


    "Don''t worry, I have sense and know what to do, and I won''t choose to hit the stone with an egg."


    ?Mona was silent for a moment, then lowered her head again and bit Luo An''s neck hard, and whispered in his ear:


    ��Don��t go up alone, you must ask me to come with you, do you understand?��


    "clear."


    Luo An raised the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly:


    "We are one."


    "Um."


    The two of them did not continue talking, just holding each other''s arms and enjoying the tranquility.


    Suddenly, feeling something strange below, Mona frowned and reached out to pat Luo An''s arm:


    ��Put me up.��


    ��Don��t let go.��


    ?? After a short rest, Luo An, whose physical strength had recovered to about 70%, suddenly turned over and pressed Mona under him, and said with a smile:


    ��You just said that we are one.��


    ��That��s not what I meant!��


    ?Mona��s eyes suddenly widened:


    ��Besides, aren��t you tired? If you��re not tired, I��m still tired!��


    ��I know you��re tired, so you don��t have to move this time.��


    Mona: ������


    There was no words for the night...I was really speechless, I had no energy to speak.


    The next day, at 10:30 in the morning, Luo An opened his eyes and got up to wash up.


    Because the case has been solved, Luo An followed his usual habit of giving everyone in the special investigation team a two-day holiday before leaving get off work yesterday, so he kept dragging Mona to play games last night.


    Jingle Bell-


    ??While washing up, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang. When he pressed the answer button, an old voice rang:


    ��Good morning, Roan.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 748： reward

    Chapter 748 Harvest


    ��Good morning, Roan.��


    ��


    ?At 10:30 in the morning, on the second floor of the villa, Luo An, who was brushing his teeth, spat out his saliva and replied casually:


    ��Good morning, Mr. Morgan.��


    ??The person who called Luo An was the old man Morgan who he had met before in the club and wore brown glasses at night.


    ?While washing his face, Luo An asked:


    ��I��m calling so early, what��s wrong with Mr. Morgan?��


    ��You are indeed a young man, it��s almost noon and it��s still early.��


    ?Morgan on the other end of the phone laughed heartily and said directly:


    ��I happen to be in Washington, D.C. these days, let��s go out for a meal together in the evening.��


    "no problem."


    Luo An wiped his face and agreed. After a few brief greetings, Morgan hung up the phone on his own initiative.


    ??Luo An nodded, and seeing Mona''s worried expression that was hesitant to speak, he walked back with a smile, gently pinched Mona''s pretty face, and said:


    ��Don��t worry, I already have a plan.��


    Morgan sent a text message at this time, which contained the address to meet and have dinner. Roan simply changed into a casual suit and drove there, while Mona went shopping with Lacey and Chenelle.


    Mona: ������


    ��I remember you said before that someone in that club also knew your father?��


    ��Don��t get me wrong, both copies are mine.��


    At this time, Luo An was located in the south of Washington, D.C. What appeared in front of him was an ordinary commercial building. The tall building was surrounded by various shops, including jewelry, luxury goods, banks, etc., but there was no trace of a hotel or restaurant.


    ��I just woke up and I don��t want to eat steak.��


    ? Driving his mediocre Porsche to the address sent in the text message, Luo An frowned slightly, a little suspicious that he had come to the wrong place.


    ��I��m going to make it today. How about fried eggs and bacon?��


    ��Who?��


    Luo An didn''t say what the specific plan was at this time. Mona saw that he looked calm and confident, and nodded based on her trust in him in the past and stopped asking.


    After washing up, Luo An walked out of the room and was about to change clothes. Mona, who had just woken up and turned on her phone, was a little slow to react. She thought for a few seconds before reacting.


    ?Mona turned to wash up and said:


    ?Her face suddenly changed slightly, she hurriedly walked out of the room and looked at Luo An and asked:


    At this moment, Mona rubbed her eyes, pushed the door open, walked into the room, yawned widely, and asked casually:


    ��People in the club.��


    ?Luo An smiled, continued to look for clothes, and asked at the same time:


    ��Very good, two more steaks.��


    After breakfast and lunch, Luo An and Mona went to the gym to box and exercise, and then rested for a while. It was past six o''clock in the afternoon.


    ��What are you going to eat later?��


    ��That��s right.��


    "Hello."


    Just when Luo An was about to call to inquire, someone suddenly knocked on the car window a few times. The car window was slowly lowered, and a white man who looked to be in his forties and wearing a high-end suit smiled and asked:


    ��Is this Mr Greenwood?��


    ��I am, who are you?��


    Getting the answer in the affirmative, the white man smiled more gently and explained:


    ��I came here specially to greet you.��


    ��OK.��


    With the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An made sure that the other party was not telling lies and that he had no ill intentions toward him. He parked the car according to the other party''s instructions, and then followed the other party into a high-end men''s luxury store.


    The two of them walked straight, and the service staff in the store bent down to salute. The white man didn''t look sideways, and led Luo An into the deepest part of the store. An ordinary elevator appeared in front of Luo An. The white man opened the elevator door, stepped aside and extended his hand to signal, and said with a smile:


    ��Come in, Mr. Greenwood.��


    Luo An walked into the elevator and found that there was no floor button inside. His eyes moved slightly and he asked with a smile:


    ��You won��t come in?��


    ��I��m not high enough and I��m not invited.��


    ??The white man smiled, pressed the button to close the elevator door, and finally said:


    ��Have a good time tonight, Mr. Greenwood. Goodbye.��


    The elevator door closed and began to rise slowly. Luo An closed his eyes and remained motionless, silently feeling the operation of the elevator. After more than ten seconds, the elevator slowly stopped running. Luo An judged that this should be the 21st or 22nd floor. building.


    Ding-


    With a soft sound, the elevator door slowly opened. Luo An opened his eyes. A magnificent hall with bright but not dazzling lights and a classical European style appeared in front of Luo An.


    ?Stepping out of the elevator, melodious classical piano music slowly reached Luo An''s ears. On the left side of the hall, some men and women in suits and dresses gathered together in twos and twos to chat with wine glasses.


    On the right side of the hall is a bar. Several masked bartenders are mixing drinks in a fancy way, inviting the men and women chatting at the bar to taste their craftsmanship.


    ��Hello, Mr. Greenwood.��


    Luo An had not walked a few steps when a female waiter with a very good figure, wearing a women''s suit and a mask on her face, came over and stretched out her hand to guide Luo An:


    ��Someone is waiting for you, please come with me.��


    Luo An nodded and said nothing. While observing the surroundings, he followed the other person deeper into the hall.


    After turning several corridors, private private rooms appeared in front of Luo An. The waitress walked to private room No. 13 and knocked lightly a few times, then opened the door to make way for Luo An to enter.


    ?There were two familiar old white men in the private room. They were the gray-haired Edward whom they had met before, and Morgan, who was not wearing brown glasses today.


    ��The time is neither too early nor too late, just right.��


    Seeing Luo An enter the private room, Edward raised his eyebrows at Morgan and laughed:


    ��I won this time!��


    ??Luo An sat down on the sofa opposite the two elderly white men, got himself a glass of red wine very familiarly, and asked with a smile:


    ��You used the time I spent here to make a bet?��


    ��It��s just a little game.��


    Morgan shook his head helplessly, glanced at his smiling friend beside him, and said:


    ��As I get older, I only have so much interest left.��


    ��Well done, Roan.��


    ?Edward picked up his wine glass and reached out to touch Luo An, raised his eyebrows at him, and said with a smile:


    ��The bet we just made was five gold coins. I��ll give you one later.��


    "Thanks."


    Roan and Edward clinked their glasses, then smiled at Morgan:


    ��Mr. Morgan, if you have this kind of gambling in the future, you can contact me in advance. I can easily discuss the prize after winning.��


    ��Greedy little fox.��


    ??Morgan smiled and pointed at him, shook his head, and the three of them clinked their glasses together and took a sip of red wine. Morgan said:


    ��Luo An, you have done a great job on this case. The Morgan family has paid the thank you money they promised before into the account of your special investigation team.


    As for the fifteen gold coins, I have also transferred them to the account under your name in the club. "


    A sunny smile suddenly appeared on Luo An''s face. Edward on the side took out a box of cigars, handed one to Luo An, and asked very curiously:


    ��You solved this case in less than two weeks, Luo An, how on earth did you do that?��


    ?According to the bet previously agreed between the two, if Luo An solves the case within fifteen days, Edward will pay half of the $10 million promised by Morgan.


    Edward, who is quite old, has lost much interest in women, and there are many delicacies that he cannot eat for the sake of his health. Now he doesn''t care about the money at all, he just wants to satisfy his curiosity.


    Taking the cigar, facing the curious eyes of the two old men, Luo An chuckled:


    "secret."

 Chapter 749： movies, clues

    Chapter 749 Movie, Clues


    ?The private room was very quiet. Morgan and Edward looked at Luo An with their eyes full of speechlessness and surprise.


    ??The entire case took just over a week and a few days to less than two weeks from the time Luo An was asked to take over the investigation to the time Luo An sent a message stating that the case had been solved.


    When they received the news, Morgan and Edward looked at each other, and both saw the disbelief in the other''s eyes.


    The two called all parties to inquire and confirmed that the news was true. After hanging up the phone, Morgan''s eyebrows were pounding and Edward was also dumbfounded.


    ??The two people were shocked and shocked. Now they understood how the investigation team led by Luo An had such a 100% false detection rate, and found that they still underestimated Luo An''s excellence.


    ?Taking a deep breath to suppress the shock in their hearts, the two of them had the same doubt in their minds, which was how Luo An did it, and decided to have a good chat when they met today.


    As a result, Luo An told them that this was a secret.


    ?Looking at the unhappy expressions on the faces of the two old white men, Luo An laughed very calmly and said:


    ��Both of them are veteran players in the business field and must understand the importance of patent rights.


    ��No, this is a private club belonging to one of our friends.��


    "Luo An, have you seen the movie "Eyes Wide Shut"?"


    ?Luo An, you are still young, and the water here is too deep for you to grasp, so you must not do it behind closed doors. Morgan and I can help you grasp it, identify problems and summarize some experiences for you. "


    ��Mr. Morgan, is this the branch of our Alumni Club in Washington, D.C.?��


    ?Edward��s eyelids twitched, the hand holding the wine glass trembled, and Morgan laughed loudly:


    ��Luo An, you are indeed a very outstanding young man.��


    ��He is indeed a little guy who doesn��t like to suffer!��


    ��That��s right.��


    ��Boy, although I am just an ordinary person who graduated from the University of Massachusetts, I know one thing: no matter what business, monopoly is the most profitable.��


    ?Seeing that the two old guys did not respect martial ethics and were so blatantly fooling a young man who was inexperienced and simple-minded, Luo An shook his head repeatedly and said:


    ?Morgan shook his head and said with a smile:


    ��I don��t come here often, but the food here is very good. The chef is a world-renowned chef from the French Republic. You can try it later.��


    ������x2


    ??The room became quiet again. Morgan and Edward looked at each other dumbfounded and picked up the wine glasses together. Morgan praised:


    At this point, Edward''s eyes suddenly moved, he reached out and patted Luo An on the shoulder, and whispered:


    Solving crimes is my patent. What if I tell others and they imitate me? "


    Edward added next to it:


    ��At least I��m much thicker-skinned than young people your age.��


    The three of them then moved the topic to other aspects in a tacit understanding. After chatting for a while, Luo An asked:


    Luo An: ������


    ?Edward really wanted to satisfy his curiosity, and then Morgan''s words deceived him:


    ��Once there are no competitors, the company will inevitably lose its motivation and direction.


    "correct."


    ?Luo An picked up the wine glass and raised it, smiling and nodding:


    ��Mainly because the two seniors taught me well, thank you very much.��


    ??Morgan smiled and shook his head, and followed the lead with an experienced attitude:


    ��Only if there is competition in the market can a company continue to work hard and forge ahead.��


    Eyes Wide Shut was released in 1999, starring a well-known Hollywood couple, and the plot and content of the movie are also very famous.


    ?Luo An has not watched this movie in the cinema, but he has carefully criticized the plot of this movie at home.


    Hearing Edward''s words, Luo An suddenly thought of something, and there was a strange look in his eyes:


    ��Is there a party like the one in Eyes Wide Shut here?��


    ��Not now.��


    ?Edward smiled and did not continue.


    ??Luo An was silent for a moment, picked up the red wine and took a sip. He shook his head and did not continue to discuss this topic. Edward saw this and did not continue to say more. Morgan raised his hand to look at the time, stood up and said:


    ��Luo An, it��s almost dinner time. Let��s go to the restaurant and chat while eating.��


    ��OK.�� The three of them simply cleaned up and left the private room to go to the restaurant. The food prepared by the famous chef of the French Republic was indeed very delicious. It was the same as the restaurant that Mona and I went to yesterday. There were almost no shortcomings except that they were not full.


    During the meal, Roan briefly asked Morgan and Edward about his father, Charles Greenwood. After all, they had said that they knew Charles.


    ??Morgan and Edward said that they didn''t know much in this area, and suggested that if Luoan needed it, he could use gold coins to post a reward within the club, and he might be able to get useful clues or information.


    Hearing this, Luo An did not discuss the matter further. After eating and chatting for a while, Luo An prepared to leave and return home.


    ��This is the calling card of this private club.��


    Before leaving, Edward handed Luan a light gold business card and a strange-shaped mask with no eyebrows, and said with a smile:


    ��You can come here more often and make more friends.��


    "Thanks."


    Luo An put away his business card and mask, turned around and left under the guidance of the service staff.


    ??Looking at Luo An''s disappearing back, the smile on Edward''s face slowly disappeared. After a few seconds of silence, he asked in a low voice:


    ��What do you think Luo An will choose?��


    ��Luo An is not a Jew, his relationship with the Jews is average, and there are no Jews around him.��


    ?Morgan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, turned around and walked back, saying quietly:


    ��He also has his own thinking and understands the story behind that period of history, which is enough.��


    ?Edward nodded slightly, smiled, turned around and walked back with Morgan, and then asked:


    ��By the way, do you want to bet again?��


    ����


    ����


    Downstairs, Luo An threw the mask to the passenger seat, started the car and left slowly.


    ??Luo An drove very slowly this time. He would rather wait a little longer at the traffic light and be honked by the driver behind him than rush out as fast as before.


    Turning around an intersection, Luo An glanced at the rearview mirror, and his expressionless face suddenly revealed a smile.


    Back at the villa, Mona was sorting out the clothes she bought in the living room. Seeing Luo An return, she immediately got up and walked to Luo An and asked in a low voice:


    ��Did you get any clues from the club?��


    ��No, and I don��t plan to ask.��


    ?Luo An changed his slippers, smiled and walked into the kitchen with Mona in his arms, and said:


    ��I��m going to cook something to eat. The food in that club is good, but I��m not full. Do you want to come with us?��


    ??Mona frowned immediately when she heard this:


    ��Luo An, what do you mean? No more checking?��


    ��The investigation still needs to be carried out, but not now.��


    ??Luo An picked up Mona, put her on the kitchen counter, and whispered in her ear:


    ��There��s no rush in this matter.��


    ??Mona was even more confused, but when she heard Luo An''s additional words, the doubts in her eyes slowly disappeared, and she finally nodded, and said after a few seconds of silence:


    ��I��m not full at night, so let��s have a steak too.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An smiled, kissed Mona for a while, then went upstairs to change clothes, and then returned to the restaurant to make supper.


    Over the next month or so, Luo An led the detectives of the special investigation team to handle the follow-up of the case during the day. After get off work, he would go home to rest, or go out to eat and play with Mona. His schedule was very regular.


    A month later, Luo An drove to Wall Street in New York. A car saw him and slowly followed him again.

 Chapter 750： [The murder of Luo An’s father many years ago] (747

    Chapter 750 [The murder of Luo An��s father many years ago] (beginning of Chapter 747)


    At ten o''clock in the morning on Sunday, a black car left Washington, D.C. and went straight to New York. The person driving the car was none other than Luo An.


    There was nothing urgent to go to Wall Street this time, so Luo An didn''t drive very fast. After the car got on the road, Luo An drove and looked at the scenery along the way while observing the light blue page in his mind.


    ?In [FBI, CIA List Missing Case], the system rated Luo An as [Excellent], and he accumulated five treasure chests in total.


    After the end of [The Murder of the Lieutenant Governor], the system evaluated it as [Extremely Excellent], which appeared rarely, and six treasure chests were accumulated.


    ?One night, Mona was tired and fell asleep. When Luo An got out of bed and took a shower, he opened the eleven treasure boxes while flushing the water.


    There are not many types of potions released from the 11 treasure chests. In addition to [Stamina Potion x2], which has never been dropped every time, there are also [Swift Potion x2].


    ��Sleep Potion x3��


    ��Strength Potion x1��


    ��Danger Sense Potion x1��


    ��Hemostatic Agent x2��


    ��Featherfall Potion x7��


    Then open the warehouse logo in the lower right corner of the light blue page of the system. At this time, there are [Stamina Potion x11] in it.


    Seeing Luo An waiting, Michael Bray''s eyes lit up. He walked to the table and sat down to order a cup of coffee. After a few brief greetings, the two began to discuss the current situation of federal real estate and the current situation of the CDS financial product. .


    ��Sensitive Agent x2��


    ��Scuba Potion x2��


    ?More than an hour later, the car arrived at Wall Street in New York.


    Just drink a bottle of [Danger Sensing Potion], the effect is indeed there, but the perception is not obvious, it requires careful observation and exploration in future life, which is very laborious.


    Roan walked into a cafe and ordered a cup of cappuccino. After waiting for a long time, Michael Bray, the head of Wall Street''s "Heritage Capital" and the manager of short-selling federal real estate financial products, slowly walked in.


    Luo An did not choose to drink the newly prescribed [Danger Sense Potion] immediately. After taking the [Danger Sense Potion] several times, he discovered some patterns.


    ? Among the many potions, [Sleep Potion] is a one-time potion. It has not been used by Luo An many times, but it works wonders every time it is used. This time, Luo An was very satisfied with the three bottles he prescribed in one go.


    ��Strength Potion x5��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x7��


    ��Sleep Potion x3��


    ??But as long as you drink a few bottles at a time, the effect will be significant and you can quickly sense the specific changes that have occurred, so you can better adjust your action methods and save time on observation and exploration.


    ��Hemostatic Agent x8��


    ��Regeneration Potion x7��


    ��Danger Sense Potion x1��


    ��Swift Potion x8��


    ��Antidotex6��


    Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. Luo An shook his head and threw them aside temporarily. He glanced at the rearview mirror and raised the corner of his mouth. There were few vehicles on the road ahead. Luo An immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the car suddenly rushed forward. .


    ? Luan previously invested a total of US$450 million for Michael Bray to purchase CDS shorting federal real estate.


    Later, Michael Bray sold the low-grade CDs to other buyers and purchased the high-grade CDs. During the sale process, Luo An earned US$23 million.


    ?Roan chose to continue to hand over the money to Michael Bray and let him purchase CDS. The two funds added up to US$473 million. This money sounds like a lot of money, but it is not a big sum for Michael Bray. He also has the funds of many companies and wealthy people, which adds up to more than 4 billion. Luo An''s money is only about one-tenth. .


    But compared to those richer companies and rich people, Michael Bray pays more attention to the mediocre Luo An.


    ?Since the creation and purchase of CDS, a financial product, those companies and wealthy people have cursed Michael Bray as a fool, demanded to withdraw their capital, and called Michael Bray day and night.


    ? Michael Bray��s boss when he was young, even bluntly stated that if he failed in the end, he would personally send Michael Bray to fish at the bottom of the Hudson River.


    ?These things put Michael Bury under a lot of pressure. At this time, the appearance of Roan allowed Michael Bray to slowly take a small step out of the pressure that was almost breathless.


    Because Roan was the only one who supported Michael Bray and believed like him that federal real estate was bound to collapse, and he never urged or was in a hurry to get his money back.


    Not only that, Roan also provided Michael Bray with a lot of information and suggestions, such as extending the remittance time and that the real estate crash will definitely come later than he expected.


    ?In Michael Bray''s eyes at this time, Roan has become a light in the darkness, even a beacon guiding him forward.


    ??So Luo An��s more than 400 million US dollars is definitely the most important fund for Michael Bray. He has even made some preparations. If he really falls short in the end, Luo An will definitely lose less.


    ??This meeting between the two was also Michael Bray''s initiative to contact him. On the one hand, he wanted to show Luo An the recent trends of Federal Real Estate and CDS, and on the other hand, he also wanted to listen to some more suggestions from Luo An.


    ��Stay steady, as long as we persist until the end, we will definitely be the winners.��


    Roan smiled and picked up the coffee cup, touching it lightly with Michael Bray.


    At this time, the historical process of the Federation has reached mid-November 2006, which is about 7 months away from June 2007.


    ??This time is neither long nor short. Michael Bray took a deep breath and nodded heavily. What Luo An said was right, the one who persists until the end is the winner.


    ??Luo An and Michael Bray, although one is the leader of the FBI investigation team and the other is a professional fund manager, they are both guys with high IQs and can talk about many things together. The two had a great time chatting in the coffee shop.


    At the same time, diagonally across from the cafe, next to a food stall on a certain street, a white man dressed as a tourist, with short hair and a big nose, who looked about thirty-five years old, was standing on the corner, eating what he had just eaten. Bought fast food snacks.


    Jingle Bell-


    ?Halfway through the meal, the big-nosed white man��s cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out, looked at it, pressed the answer button, and smiled like an ordinary tourist receiving a call from a relative:


    "good morning."


    ?The voice on the other end of the phone was a little low, and asked directly without any nonsense:


    ��Did you find anything unusual again?��


    ��No, the same as before.��


    ?The big-nosed white man took a big bite of food and replied with a smile:


    ��Mitang�� is drinking coffee and chatting with a guy on Wall Street right now. The guy is a fund manager. It seems like ��Mitang�� is planning to contribute the money he earns to Wall Street.��


    Hearing this, the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally whispered:


    ��The action can be completed, and the money will be credited to your account on time.��


    "Wait a moment."


    ??The big-nosed man was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the coffee shop in the distance, and asked in a low voice:


    ��You really don��t need me to help you ��swallow this honey�� completely?��


    ��No.��


    ?The big-nosed man��s words were a little crooked, but the meaning was not difficult to understand. The other person on the phone rejected him directly without hesitation. After repeating that the action was over, he hung up the phone on his own initiative.


    After finishing the food in a few mouthfuls, the big-nosed man glanced at the coffee shop in the distance, snorted coldly, turned around and walked away, murmuring to himself:


    ��A lucky guy with average strength, the most powerful leader of the investigation team, I don��t know who blew it..."


    ?At the same time, in the coffee shop, Luo An, who was chatting with Michael Bray, was slightly stunned, and then the smile on his face became brighter.

 Chapter 751： PlanAPlanZ

    Chapter 751 PlanA��PlanZ


    ?Trian, who joined the federal army when he was young, participated in the selection of the Navy SEALs, but was eliminated at the last level.


    After fighting on the battlefield for several years, Trian was forced to leave the army due to mental illness. Returning to the Federation, he quickly spent all his savings, asked acquaintances to introduce him, and changed his job to become a killer who made money by taking orders.


    Roan Greenwood, FBI Washington, D.C., is a well-known special investigation team leader with excellent case-handling abilities, strong combat capabilities, and excellent counter-reconnaissance awareness. As far as killers are concerned, this is a very difficult target.


    ? Trian did not intend to take on this task at first. He has completed many orders and killed many people over the years. He didn''t care if the other party was innocent. He only knew that he could afford to drive a luxury car, eat delicious food, ride... and drive a good car, all in exchange for the heads of these people.


    Because of this, Trian has always stayed away from federal law enforcement personnel, and he has not yet enjoyed enough luxury life.


    ?But in the end, Trian still accepted the order from Roan Greenwood.


    On the one hand, the orderer''s request this time was not to kill, but to follow; on the other hand...the orderer gave too much. Trian was shy and not very good at rejecting other people''s kindness.


    ??This morning, when he received a call asking him to end the tracking, Trian was stunned for a moment, and then asked the orderer if he wanted him to kill Roan Greenwood directly.


    There are two reasons why Trian asked this question. The first is that tracking missions have so much money. If Luo An is killed, the orderer will definitely give more money.


    Secondly, Trian has been tracking Roan Greenwood for a month, and Roan Greenwood found nothing unusual at all.


    ??The orderer ultimately rejected the offer, which made Trian a little unhappy, but he cursed Roan Greenwood a few times and called Roan Greenwood a piece of shit, and then drove away from Wall Street. He would not take the initiative to kill someone without anyone paying him.


    ??Trian, who had just woken up from sleep and was still a little unable to open his eyes, now his eyes widened and a few drops of cold sweat fell down. He quickly moved to the closet and opened the secret compartment.


    ??As a result, there was only a small dagger in the secret room, and the other pistol that was supposed to be there also disappeared without a trace.


    ??This shows that Roan Greenwood''s strength is just like this. The title of "the best investigation team leader" may have been blown by some senior FBI executive. Trian has seen this kind of thing a lot in the military.


    Tracking someone is a very physically and mentally demanding task. Trian was very tired this month. After the task was completed and the money arrived, he immediately checked into a high-end hotel and called four beautiful young women with good figures and skillful techniques. Model gives herself a massage.


    ?Lying on the bed, Trian clucked his tongue and thought about it carefully for a long time, let out a few weird laughs, took a sip of water, lifted the quilt and prepared to get up to wash up.


    ?Based on his tracking experience these days, Trian judged that killing Roan Greenwood might be a bit troublesome, but not very difficult. This order can be done.


    ����


    It came up empty!


    He remembered that he went home yesterday and went straight to bed without pouring himself any water.


    After a deep sleep, Trian woke up and it was already 4:30 in the morning of the next day.


    �O


    ��Fu-k!��


    ��The long-haired female model yesterday was really good. It is said that she is a college student working part-time at a certain university in New York����


    Leaving the hotel and driving back to a certain villa, Trian lay on the bed and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.


    As soon as he sat up, Trian paused suddenly, and then slowly lowered his head to look at the water glass in his hand.


    A chill ran from his waist to the back of his head, and the hairs on Trian''s hair instantly stood on end. He threw the water glass out, quickly turned over and left the big bed and lay on the floor. At the same time, he stretched his right hand under the bedside table, where he had been hiding something. A pistol for emergencies.


    After more than three hours of massage, Trian was even more tired.


    With his scalp numb and numb, Trian cursed in a low voice, took a deep breath to suppress the panic in his heart, held the dagger and tensed his muscles, and slowly and cautiously walked out of the bedroom step by step.


    ?There was no one in the living room. Trian turned to look at the kitchen on the other side, his pupils shrinking suddenly because there was a very familiar figure to him at the dining table.


    ?At the dining table, Luo An, dressed in black sportswear, was tapping on Trian''s laptop. Next to the computer was Trian''s pistol. Seeing that the other party saw him, Luo An raised his head and smiled:


    ��Good morning, Mr. Trian, I see you slept soundly last night, I don��t have the nerve to disturb you, I��m sorry.��


    ����


    At this time, cold sweat had completely soaked Trian''s back, and a lot of possibilities flashed through his mind. After a few seconds of silence, he swallowed, tightly grasped the dagger in his hand, and asked:


    ��Have you noticed that I��m following you a long time ago?��


    Luo An didn��t say anything, smiled and nodded.


    ?Trian was suddenly worried, and then asked:


    ��Then why did you find me now?��


    ?Luo An spread his hands and asked with a smile:


    "What do you think?"


    As early as a month ago, after having dinner with Morgan and Edward and leaving the private club, Luo An relied on the "emotional perception" in his mind to find a figure following him behind.


    ? Luo An was not surprised by this, because this was exactly the result he wanted.


    When he initially investigated the truth behind the death of his father, Charles, and his mother, Beverly, but found nothing, Luo An realized that the water behind this matter might be very deep.


    ?At that time, Luo An had no clues. He had no clue except knowing the depth of the water, and could do nothing, so he had to choose to investigate slowly.


    A month ago, when Joseph, the real culprit behind the murder of the deputy governor after a heart transplant, appeared and revealed that he had a good relationship with Luo An''s father, Charles, Luo An realized that there was an opportunity to investigate the case.


    Joseph was a rich man and belonged to the upper class in the Federation. He must know a lot of information, which also meant that many people knew his information.


    That is, someone must know about the friendship between Joseph and Charles.


    As the son of Charles, Roan captured Joseph. In order to find out the truth and for revenge, he would ask about Charles.


    How many things that Joseph knows is specifically. The behind -the -scenes of the killing of Charles may not know. At this time, there are only three options behind the scenes:


    Send someone to kill Luo An; or send someone to kill Joseph; or kill both of them.


    Luo An was waiting for this. He was waiting for the man behind the scenes to send someone to kill him. Because the other party didn''t send someone, and he had no clues, he couldn''t continue to investigate.


    Because of this, he went to a temporary prison without any disguise.


    ??Roan went to the private club again the next day, and did not express his approval or rejection of Morgan''s suggestion to use gold coins to post a reward in the club to find clues to the truth about Charles'' death.


    Roan was unable to determine at the time whether there was an informant in the club who was behind the murder of his father, Charles.


    Later, he noticed that Trian appeared and started to follow him. Luo An was very happy. The ten million dollars transferred by Morgan were temporarily forgotten by him.


    ??Roan thought that Trian would take action at that time, so he purposely slept with Mona that night.


    As a result, Trian made no move at all. For the next period of time, he just followed and had no intention of taking action.


    ?This made Luo An realize that his PlanA had failed.


    But Luo An is not panic, he still has PlanB to PlanZ.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 752： Please start your story, clue

    Chapter 752 Please start your story, clue


    ??Trian just followed but did not take action. Luo An was sure that this was the mastermind behind the scenes, or an order from one of the masterminds'' henchmen.


    ?This also means that the person giving the order may have some concerns or thoughts.


    ? Luo An thought briefly and found that he could not take action against the stalker immediately.


    Because once he takes action, the person who gave the order will most likely immediately put aside his worries or ideas and start sending more people to find him.


    The initiative is in the hands of the other party.


    Luo An is not at all worried about his own safety, but there are other people in the special investigation team and they cannot be put in danger.


    ??Finally, Luo An decided to act for a period of time, pretending not to notice the guy following him, and pretending not to investigate the death of his father Charles. He only went to work every day and had fun with Mona.


    ??But in fact, Luo An had taken a photo of the stalker through a remote detour and secretly installed a camera, and asked Mona to find out Trian''s identity.


    ??The person who ordered the order asked Trian to stop following him, so that Luo An could officially launch a counter-investigation, and the initiative fell into his hands.


    ?The enemy is dark and Luo An is also dark. The next thing to compete is who has the fastest reaction and whose method is tougher.


    After Trian finished narrating, Luo An then asked:


    ?Luo An smiled, picked up the pistol again, and knocked on the table gently:


    ��Leader Greenwood, you are very powerful, I am ashamed of myself.


    What happened next was almost the same as Luo An''s judgment. The orderer asked Trian to follow Luo An but not take action. He mainly observed Luo An''s work and life these days and whether Luo An was investigating other cases besides his normal work. .


    ��That night a month ago, someone found me through some of the methods I left behind����


    How about I tell you everything I know and you let me go? "


    ? He ??didn��t guess Luo An��s specific plan, but he thought about why Luo An kept pretending to be stupid, that is, by lying to him, he deceived the orderer behind him.


    "Yeah?"


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ��Please start your story.��


    "have no idea."


    ��Think again, I��m sure you know.��


    ��Do you know the identity of the person who placed the order?��


    ??The corner of Trian''s mouth twitched, but he still explained:


    ??The time Trian mentioned was exactly the second hour after Roan drove to the temporary prison and interrogated Joseph.


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and silently remembered this matter in his heart.


    ??Trian shook his head. In their industry, it is very bad to investigate the identity of the orderer. It can easily affect the credibility, so he never investigates.


    ??Luo An put down his hand. When he sneaked into the villa last night, he found the pistol from Trian''s bedside and raised his hands forward:


    ??Taking a deep breath, Trian quickly cleared his mind, looked up at Luo An and threw the dagger far away. He raised his hands, raised the military salute of the Republic, and said in a solemn voice:


    In the living room, Trian was silent for a long time, his face looked ugly and he cursed in a low voice.


    For more than a month, Luo An was almost always in a three-point-one-line state. The orderer found nothing unusual, so he asked Trian to end the tracking mission.


    ����


    ??? Trian''s eyelids jumped, and he realized that the approachable and approachable appearance of Luo An, whom he had been following these days, was all an illusion. This kind of intimidating others when he disagreed was probably the real him.


    ??Luo An doesn''t know Trian''s thoughts, and even if he knew, he would sneer at him. The other person''s hands are full of blood and he kills people without blinking an eye. He has to be more violent than him without talking about Wood, otherwise how can he convince the other person.


    �ˡ��ˡ��ˡ�


    ??In the restaurant, Luo An held a pistol and knocked on the table slowly, while Trian stood in the living room with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.?????��I remembered!��


    ?Suddenly, Trian raised his head and shouted loudly:


    ��Contact information! I have that guy��s contact information! You can use that phone number to find him!��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and then asked:


    ��What if that person was using a burner phone?��


    ��Then you can also use the phone number to find him!��


    ?At this time, Trian''s mind was spinning quickly and he immediately replied:


    ��The contact information I left is on an underground website that sells various prohibited items.


    ?That website has a rule that you must log in and reply to the post in order to get the contact information of the post owner.


    You are the FBI. I can give you the address of that website and my account number. You must have a way to find him! "


    ?Hearing Trian say that he had to reply to the post to get the information, Luo An''s eyes flashed with a strange look, and he thought of some other websites.


    ??The moment Luo An was stunned, a hint of evil flashed in Trian''s eyes, and he jumped towards him.


    Trian doesn��t know and doesn��t want to know what grudges there are between Luo An and the person who placed the order. He only cares about one thing: Luo An knows his identity and his home!


    ? He ??is a killer, and Luo An is an FBI, who uses himself to save others. If it were Trian himself, he would definitely arrest himself and go out to exchange for credit, and accumulate qualifications to rise.


    ??So Trian had no intention of letting Luo An leave his villa alive from the beginning. Everything he did before was to make Luo An lower his guard. He must kill Luo An today!


    ? Trian moved quickly, but Luo An also reacted very quickly. He directly raised his knees and pushed forward, and turned the muzzle of the gun towards Trian''s chest.


    �O


    ??Trian also raised his knees to support Luo An. At the same time, he grabbed the muzzle of the gun and moved up the stage with one hand. The other hand tightly blocked Luo An''s finger to prevent him from pulling the trigger.


    ??Finally, Trian twisted his hands in the opposite direction, forcing Luo An to let go of the pistol in order to prevent his fingers and wrists from being broken!


    "Hahaha��"


    ??The moment Luo An let go of the pistol, Trian suddenly beamed. He grabbed the pistol, quickly turned the gun and aimed it at Luo An. He laughed and pulled the trigger without hesitation.


    Ka-Ka-Ka-


    The sound of emptying the barrel sounded, and the smile on Trian''s face suddenly became stiff.


    ��Surprise.��


    ??Luo An smiled slightly, and regardless of Trian''s face turning green, he suddenly jumped up, raised his knees, and hit Trian''s chest heavily.


    �O


    With a muffled sound that both of them could hear, Trian flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. His face instantly became extremely pale, but blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.


    ��Ahem����


    ??Trian coughed twice and struggled to get up from the ground, but the severe pain in his chest made his face even more ugly. He was sure that his ribs were definitely broken.


    ??Luo An snorted coldly. He sneaked into the villa last night. Just in case, he removed all the bullets from the guns during the search, leaving only a pistol with bullets.


    Roan took out the only pistol with bullets from his waist that originally belonged to Trian. Luo An put away the smile on his face. Trian looked panicked and coughed up blood, but he still said quickly:


    ��I��m sorry, Team Leader Greenwood, I was just a conditioned reflex. Just let me go and I��ll kill the person who ordered me for you. How about I kill it for you for free����


    ?While talking, Trian struggled to rub back. Under the sofa next to him was the dagger he had just thrown away.


    Then Luo An walked to the sofa, found the dagger and took it in his hand.


    Trian: ����Sonof better than eating!��


    boom!


    At noon, Luo An drove away from the Hudson River and called Mona:


    ��How was the check over there?��


    ?Mona��s voice was deep:


    ��Luo An, I��m afraid things are very troublesome.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 753： Oldmoney

    Chapter 753 Oldmoney


    At noon, a car was slowly moving forward on a road on the west side of the Hudson River in New York.


    ��Roan, things could get very troublesome.��


    ??Hearing Mona''s words on the other end of the phone, Luo An, who was driving, did not panic at all, with a calm face and said with a smile:


    ��It��s normal to have trouble. If it wasn��t troublesome, why would this matter have been delayed until now?��


    ?? Last night, after sneaking into Trian''s home and finding the laptop, Luo An plugged in the USB flash drive that he had prepared in his pocket for a long time. It contained the remote control program created by Mona.


    ??Roan also immediately sent the clues obtained during Trian''s interrogation to Mona and asked her to help carry out the investigation.


    As for Trian��s final outcome, Mona didn��t ask and didn��t want to ask. Like Roan, she just wants to find out the truth.


    ��The phone number given by the stalker, just as you expected, Luo An, does come from a disposable mobile phone. I can��t find out who the buyer is.��


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone was sitting next to the computer, frowning, and said:


    ��However, through the criminal website in the underground world, I found the person who spoke at the bottom of the post, his IP address, and then followed the clues to find out his identity.��


    ?Entering the study room on the left side of the third floor, Mona has been waiting here for a long time. When she saw Luo An pushing the door open, she didn''t say anything, but silently moved away and showed the laptop screen to Luo An.


    ?Mona swallowed, hesitated for a few seconds and whispered:


    "This person...Luo An, wait until you come back and see for yourself."


    ��Is this guy related to my father?��


    ?Mona nodded, her face was very solemn, and she said solemnly:


    ��OK.��


    Looking at this guy with obvious Jewish features on the computer, Luo An frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised:


    In the character profile next to it, the identity information of the other party is written:


    ?Leighton-Perelman, 55, former president and CEO of the Commonwealth of Illinois Nuclear Energy Corporation, is now one of the directors of a well-known federal nuclear energy research institute.


    ? Luo An lowered his head to check. On the screen was a half-length photo of a white man, with his profile next to it.


    ? In addition, his family belongs to the "old money" group, so Leighton-Perelman''s personal network is very developed, and he has acquaintances in the White House. "


    It accounts for about 20% of the Commonwealth''s overall nuclear power generation and about 70% of the Commonwealth''s east coast nuclear power generation.


    ??Roan crossed his arms over his chest, his face not very pretty. It was not that he was afraid of Leighton Perelman''s identity, but he was wondering about one thing:


    ??The other person has black hair, a very pointed nose and a hooked nose with a high bridge. He has a slicked back hair and a federal standard eight-tooth smile. He is wearing a suit and looks very kind.


    ��Yes, and it is one of the largest nuclear power energy companies in the federation.


    At 2:30 in the afternoon, Luo An returned to Washington, D.C. and arrived at his villa.


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    "who is it?"


    ?Luo An frowned slightly and agreed, hanging up the phone. The next second, the car suddenly sprang out, rushing towards the distance like an arrow from a string.


    ��Nuclear power energy company?��


    As for Leiden-Perelman, his parents are both Jewish, so he is also a standard Jew.


    "Old money" in English, in the culture of the Federation, generally refers to people whose wealth is earned through generations of family operations. They can "enjoy" without working.


    ?The creators of some federal social media software and the bosses of tram manufacturing companies are also very rich, but they can only be regarded as "new money", that is, "Newmoney" or "Youngmoney"


    ??When Luo An returned to Boston with Mona and bought the old villa, he visited his parents'' relatives and friends one by one while the old villa was being renovated.


    On the one hand, it was due to the sophistication of people, and on the other hand, Luo An also took the opportunity to investigate the personal network of his parents from those people.


    The person Leiden-Perelman has never appeared in the mouths of relatives and friends of his father Charles. Suddenly, Luo An''s face changed slightly. If it had nothing to do with his father, Charles, might it have something to do with his mother, Beverly?


    ??The photo of her mother Beverly is still there. When she was young, she was definitely a woman as good as those movie stars.


    ???If it was the emotional entanglement of the previous generation... Thousands of possibilities flashed through Luo An''s mind instantly. Before he could continue to guess, Mona raised her hand to type on the keyboard and said:


    ��I found some information that may be of some help to you.��


    ?Shaking his head and temporarily throwing away those messy thoughts, Luo An turned his attention to the computer screen again and asked:


    ��What is the message?��


    ��Mainly some records.��


    With her fingers flying on the keyboard, Mona quickly called up several electronic files, showed them to Luo An, and introduced:


    ��Your father, Charles, two years before his death, went to some college in Pennsylvania.


    ?At that time, Leighton Perelman was recruiting talents for the company at that university, and the two may have met.


    ?One year before his father Charles died, serious leaks occurred in several nuclear power plants under the Leiden-Perelman nuclear power company, causing very serious pollution to the environment in several places. "


    Luo An thought about it carefully and frowned slightly:


    ��I don��t think I��ve heard of this?��


    ��Normal, because I found this information in the FBI��s deep database.��


    ?Mona snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and said:


    ��At that time, this matter was suppressed by Leiden-Perelman��s energy company and paid to buy the media, and the local people did not know about it.


    Some of the relevant personnel who went to investigate issued some reports with no major problems. I suspect that they also took money from Leighton-Perelman.


    As for those investigators who did not get paid, several died in various car accidents, and some simply shot themselves in the back. "


    Looking at the information records in Mona''s computer, Luo An''s face darkened.


    ??Suicide by being shot in the back is a traditional performing arts of the Federation, and Luo An was not too surprised by this.


    ? Bribing the media to suppress news is also a routine practice for various companies in the federation. There is no doubt about the professionalism of the various federal media outlets. After all, they are majoring in journalism.


    ??The real reason that made Luo An look solemn was another thing. He reached out and patted Mona on the shoulder and said:


    ��Mona, look up Jamal Miller.��


    ��Jermore Miller?��


    ?? Mona was a little confused, but she still typed on the computer keyboard and asked for specific information about this person:


    "who is he?"


    ��He was a friend of my father��s during his lifetime.��


    ??Luo An briefly described the person''s identity information. Mona quickly found him and introduced him with a frown:


    ��Jemol Miller, one of the missing persons, the FBI��s internal database shows that there are no specific clues in the case, and the case has been placed under indefinite investigation.


    The file shows that the place where he disappeared was... on his way home from get off work at a nuclear power plant? ! "


    Reading the end, Mona''s eyes suddenly widened. She looked back at Luo An with a surprised face. Luo An crossed his arms over his chest and said expressionlessly:


    ��When did he disappear, specifically?��


    ��It was April��exactly three months before your father, Charles, was shot and killed!��


    ??Mona continued to type on the keyboard a few times and quickly found out the time. Seeing Luo An''s face gloomy, she swallowed and asked:


    ��Luo An, what on earth is going on?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 754： capitalist country, country-based

    Chapter 754 Capitalist countries, national basis


    Facing Mona��s puzzled face, Luo An poured himself a glass of water and explained in a deep voice:


    ��I investigated the disappearance of Jermall Miller a long time ago, but I couldn��t investigate it further at the time.��


    ?Jermore Miller, one of Charles''s friends, was named by Roan when she visited an old friend of her mother Beverly.


    His mother''s old friend didn''t know much about Jermall Miller, but he had only heard of the name. After Luo An learned about it, he immediately launched an investigation into Jermall Miller with the idea of ????taking some shots. Moore-Miller Investigation.


    Later, Luo An did find out about the disappearance of Jermall Miller, but it was similar to the case of his father''s shooting. It happened too long ago, there were no witnesses, there were no traces at the scene, and the file clues were limited, Luo An couldn''t investigate it at all. Go down.


    In the land of the Federation, the phrase ��freedom in life and randomness in death�� is by no means empty talk.


    Over the past twenty years, other friends of his father, Charles, and his mother, Beverly, lost contact or disappeared. Some even died in car accidents, and some were simply shot to death.


    Since Jermall Miller could not investigate further, Luo An could only temporarily turn his attention to other people.


    ??Just now Mona introduced that Leighton Perelman was a senior executive of a nuclear power company, and Luo An immediately thought of the name Jermall Miller.


    Because more than 20 years ago, Jermall Miller happened to be a manager at a nuclear power plant.


    Leighton-Perelman became president and CEO four months after the revelations.


    The temperament of various companies within the federal territory is well known. Social benefits and safety benefits are never the scope of their consideration. Making money and dividends are their fundamental goals.


    In the four months before his promotion, Jermall Miller disappeared, Charles Greenwood died, and the law enforcement officer who went to investigate was shot in the back and committed suicide... Roan, these coincidences are too coincidental. "


    The place where Jermall Miller works is a nuclear power plant. In terms of professional relevance, the original **** incident may have something to do with him, but how does it have anything to do with your father? "


    ��Roan, I remember that your father, Charles, was an accounting professor.


    Looking at the information on the computer, Mona rubbed her temples and asked doubtfully:


    "Maybe it was Jermall Miller who told my father something."


    ? It was also after this incident that, under the leadership of Leighton Perelman, Illinois Nuclear Power Company began to develop rapidly.


    ?After listening to Luo An��s narration, Mona was silent for a few seconds, turned around and quickly typed on the computer keyboard. After a while, she looked at the information she found, frowned and analyzed:


    ��Twenty years ago, the scale of Illinois Nuclear Power Company was not as large as it is now.


    ?Luo An drank all the water in the cup in one gulp and sneered:


    ��Yeah, it��s more of a coincidence than winning five million dollars by buying a lottery ticket.��


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, Illinois Nuclear Power Energy Company is a private enterprise, and the company''s business and development are decided by the board of directors.


    Hence, when natural or man-made disasters occur, various companies within the federal territory will never take the initiative to provide disaster relief. 100% of their key supplies will increase in price at that time. A sudden increase of 50% is considered "conscience", and an increase of 200% is normal.


    ??The federal government cannot interfere in this, because the federation is a capitalist country. If the government does not allow price increases, is it still capitalism? This is shaking the foundation of the country!


    After a few seconds of silence, Mona looked up at Luo An and asked in a solemn voice: "Luo An, what are you going to do?"


    ?Leiden-Perelman''s social status is not ordinary. He uses physical means directly, keeping things simple, but it may also cause some not very good troubles for himself.


    ?Luo An patted Mona on the shoulder and said with a smile:


    ��Don��t worry, thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me.��


    ??Mona frowned slightly and nodded without saying anything. After a brief discussion, she got up and left the study.


    ?Sitting on the chair, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly while looking at the information on the computer. He pondered for a moment. He tapped the keyboard a few times and jumped to the Wall Street stock trading platform.


    Over the next week, several states on the east coast of the Union were very calm. During the day, city councilors and state legislators took turns to give speeches. At night, gangsters and robbers took turns to fight or rob banks. The scene every day was full of vitality and everything was going on, and it was very free.


    ? Time quickly came to the end of November, and as they were getting ready to get off work in the evening, reporters from major Jewish and non-Jewish media in New York, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, etc. all found a paper bag in their car.


    There is not much content in it. In addition to the Illinois Nuclear Power Company, reports on water leaks in the past thirty years, and the negative impact on the local area, there is also a table with the names of other media, and they are all typed. Check mark.


    ?Journalists from various media outlets immediately understood that all media outlets had received this paper bag.


    In order to be the first to publish news, they quickly got out of the car and ran back to the company, discussed the matter with the editor as quickly as possible, and then reported the matter.


    On the first day of December, people in more than ten states including New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey were in an uproar. The secret has been leaked for more than 20 years, but they have been kept in the dark? !


    That morning, a large number of protest and demonstration groups appeared in major cities in various states.


    After the words "Oppose racial discrimination" and "The President eats shit", they added words such as "Oppose the wanton discharge of **" and "The people should have the right to know" and began to march on the streets, attracting more media attention and Start reporting.


    ?In just one morning, the name of Illinois Nuclear Power Company was resounding across the east coast of the Commonwealth. Many people living in the contaminated areas cursed after learning about it and joined the demonstration organization one after another.


    ?Some middle-class families couldn''t hold back after learning about this, because they have also been living in polluted areas and were also unaware of this.


    That afternoon, a group of middle-class lawyers stood up and publicly stated that they were willing to litigate for free and fight for benefits and compensation for the deceived people in the polluted areas.


    As time went by, the incident became more and more serious. On the fifth day, several candidates for election to the parliament stated in their speeches that as long as they came to power, they would definitely fight for the rights of the people in the polluted areas!


    ?No one knows whether these words are true or not, but what can be seen is that the support rates of several people suddenly skyrocketed!


    ?? Before more parliamentary contenders entered the scene, many media outlets began to break the news for the second time. The content was about the death of relevant investigators more than 20 years ago, including car accidents, fires, suicides shot in the back...all kinds of shocking ways of death!


    ? Several reporters with strong initiative even found the relatives of the victims. When the relatives explained the story of the year in front of the TV in tears, the people became more uproar and angry, and the scale of the demonstration the next day became even larger.


    ?When they learned that the leader of the Illinois Nuclear Power Company was Leighton Perelman, many people began to make up slogans during the march, cursing "Leighton Perelman eats shit."


    ? Some businesses saw this opportunity, and at an incredible speed, they produced dolls, toys, etc. that somewhat resembled Leighton-Perelman, and sold them to the angry people so that they could vent their emotions on them.


    ??After all, this move is suspected of damaging Leighton-Perelman''s image. While these companies are selling products, they have already prepared lawyers to prepare for lawsuits.


    ? But Leiden-Perelman was in no mood to pay attention to them at the moment. What worried him now was another group of people: Jews like himself.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 755： 1200 meters, fracture

    Chapter 755: 1200 meters, fracture


    ��The Jews are the most intelligent people in the world.��


    This sentence is very famous in some countries. Luo An is not a scientist and cannot cut open the heads of Jews for research, but he knows another thing: Jews are very good at making money.


    There are many reasons why they are good at making money, but one of them is the most important:


    They will not develop many relationships with other people, even if they are also Jewish, because this will affect the speed at which they make money.


    ?Leiden-Perelman is indeed a Jew. Correspondingly, most of his friends are Jewish, as are the executives of the Illinois Nuclear Power Company.


    After the news broke, the stock value of Illinois Nuclear Power Company almost fell off a cliff, far exceeding normal circumstances.


    Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is someone behind the scenes who is taking the opportunity to destroy the market, but who is controlling the situation? Whether it is within the Illinois Nuclear Power Company or outside it, until the situation becomes clear, I am afraid only the parties involved will know.


    ?Leighton-Perelman was so distraught that when the first wave of news broke, he focused on the company and sent people to investigate who was controlling the media in an attempt to negotiate with the other party to resolve the matter.


    ?Leighton-Perelman didn��t even look at the demonstrators. From his perspective, these people couldn��t make waves.


    When some of his rivals for parliament came forward, Leighton-Perelman noticed something was not quite right.


    ?? Before he could react, the second wave of news about the investigators being shot in the back and committing suicide came out, and Leighton-Perelman''s face suddenly changed.


    ?As Leighton-Perelman expected, not long after the news of the law enforcement officer''s suicide after being shot in the back came out, the FBI in New York came to the door.


    ������xN


    ??Washington, D.C., in the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, the detectives looked at the spokesperson of the Illinois Nuclear Power Company who was talking on the TV in the front, all with black lines on his head.


    ?Leiden-Perelman��s other Jewish friends also didn��t mind taking a share of his fortune.


    A spokesman for Illinois Nuclear Power Company said at the press conference that it was Leighton Perelman''s fault for concealing information, causing environmental pollution, violating federal laws, etc., and the company was willing to apologize to the people who were harmed on his behalf. .


    People want justice; congressional rivals want votes; law enforcement needs to suppress the fallout quickly; and someone inside Illinois Nuclear Power wants to kick Leighton Perelman out.


    ??In desperation, the FBI New York branch had no choice but to send the information to the Washington headquarters, hoping to find the well-known team leader Roan Greenwood for help.


    On his way back to the company with his lawyer, he was shot in the head by an unknown sniper.


    ?Twenty days later, less than a month later, three days before Christmas and two days before Christmas Eve, Leighton Perelman, who was battered but not injured, was released by the FBI due to insufficient evidence.


    Jews "have honey in their books for children to lick," but they certainly didn''t teach them about giving help in times of need. Adding insult to injury is their character that is passed down from generation to generation.


    ? There are things you can do, but you can��t say. The lights must be turned off and you can��t let anyone see them or feel disgusted.


    ����


    ?At the moment, the evidence is not very sufficient. The FBI in New York just asked Leighton Perelman to go back and cooperate with the investigation for a period of time.


    ??What Clayton-Perelman lacks most now is time, because someone within the Illinois Nuclear Power Energy Company is obviously taking the opportunity to swallow up his shares!


    ?Leighton-Perelman struggled for a long time, and was finally taken away by the FBI in New York State for investigation.


    At present, Illinois Nuclear Power Energy Company has a new president and CEO. I believe that under the leadership of the new person, the company will correct its mistakes and move forward, bringing new gains to the company''s shareholders and bringing better things to the people. future.


    The sniper disappeared instantly after firing. The FBI New York branch investigated for a long time, but found no other clues except the conclusion that "the sniper most likely came from a contaminated area."


    ??As for the Illinois Nuclear Power Company, after Leighton-Perelman died, someone quickly stood up and held a press conference.


    ?However, Team Leader Roan Greenwood was injured a few days ago and was on vacation and had no time. The FBI New York branch was rejected and had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to investigate, but ultimately achieved nothing.


    Lacie took a big bite of the apple and said disdainfully while eating:


    ��As expected of a big company, they are really skillful in shifting the blame.��


    "These people haven''t always been like this." Winslow picked up another apple on Lacey''s table, took a big bite, and said with a smile:


    ��For them, the dead are more useful than the living.��


    Lacey hummed noncommittally, and Chenelle next to her picked up the coffee and took a sip, frowning and saying:


    ��But that sniper is very strong.


    I looked at the file sent by the New York branch. It was a 7.62��51 mm NATO full-power ammunition that killed the victim Leighton Perelman.


    ?According to the detection of the Trace Inspection Section, the weapon used by the sniper was an M25 sniper rifle.


    ??The maximum range of this gun is 900 meters, but the sniper point found by the Trace Inspection Section is a full 1,200 meters away from the location where Leighton Perelman was shot! "


    ��What? Are you sure?��


    Lacie��s eyes suddenly widened, and Winslow��s face was even more surprised:


    ��A gun with a range of 900 meters, a sniper shot at 1,200 meters? Where did this retired soldier come from?��


    "have no idea."


    Chenelle spread her hands and said helplessly:


    ��So the FBI New York branch has a headache. They even suspect that the other party is a spy from across the ocean.


    Because only the special snipers there are often required to use sniper rifles with a range of 600 meters to hit targets 1,000 meters away, and the special snipers in that army can still do it. "


    ������x2


    Lacie and Winslow looked at each other, and both saw the shock in the other''s eyes.


    On the other side, Michelle did not participate in this topic. She picked up a cup of slightly yellow tea and handed it to Luo An, smiling:


    ��Luoan, this is a herbal drink from the East. It is said that it can help people with fractures recover faster.��


    ?At this time, Luo An was sitting on a chair wearing a casual suit, with a bandage on the ankle of his left leg, and a crutch next to the chair.


    Luo An��s mouth twitched after receiving the traditional Chinese medicinal solution made from Guiwei, red peony root, sliced ??turmeric, etc. handed over by Michelle.


    ??He knew that Michelle meant well, but...he quietly glanced at his left ankle, which didn''t hurt at all, and Luo An forced a smile:


    "Thanks."


    "You''re welcome."


    ?Michelle smiled and waved her hands. At this time, Lacey walked over with a smile and asked:


    ��Luo An, what��s going on with you?


    ??We have fought so many times outside and you haven''t been injured much, but you actually broke your leg at home? "


    Roan glanced at Lacey, snatched the candy from her hand, stuffed it into her mouth and said:


    ��Accidents will always happen and no one can avoid them.��


    Lacey didn��t care that she was robbed of candy. She bent down and smiled, lowering her voice and saying:


    "Did you and Mona play too hard these past few days and are too tired to have any strength, so you are so weak...Don''t! Don''t! Don''t! I was wrong!"


    Before Lacey finished speaking, Mona came over and pinched her ears, saying with an unhappy face:


    ��Lacie, don��t go too far.��


    ��I��m sorry, I apologize.��


    ??Lacie twisted her body and broke away from Mona''s hand holding her ear. In turn, she hugged Mona''s arm with a smile and said:


    ��Isn��t this a joke?��


    ??Mona snorted softly. She glanced at Luo An calmly, then looked away at Michelle and asked:


    ��Has Verenis given any orders recently?��


    "No."


    Michelle shook her head and said:


    ��She has been out of contact for more than a week.��

 Chapter 756： Holiday arrangements, Luo An’s operations

    Chapter 756 Vacation Arrangements, Luo An��s Operations


    Tuesday, 2 p.m., Washington, D.C., Special Investigation Team office area.


    ��Verenice has lost contact?��


    ?Hearing Michelle''s words, Lacey and Winslow''s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, and Mona and Chenelle also looked surprised.


    They all looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other''s faces. Then they all turned their heads and turned their attention to Luo An.


    As the leader of the special investigation team, Luo An has always been in contact with Veranith the most. If Veranith loses contact, Luo An will definitely know some news.


    As expected, Luo An, who was sitting on the chair, looked very calm, waved his hand and said:


    ��Verenis is investigating the case.��


    ?A week ago, Veranith sent a message to Luo An, telling him that she needed to deal with a certain incident personally and would disappear for a period of time. If there were any questions during the period, just contact Mr. Clement directly.


    Veranis didn��t say what the specific incident was, and Luo An didn��t know either. After a few brief exchanges, Luo An asked Veranis to be more careful, and Veranis hung up the phone on her own initiative.


    "All right."


    ?A few people moved the topic away from this matter and soon talked about vacation arrangements.


    Then I lost contact with the doctor. "


    ?Chenelle, who was next to her, picked up her coffee and took a sip, and said softly:


    ��Me too, go home and see my parents.��


    ������xN


    ?The room was very quiet, and everyone was dumbfounded.


    ��Lanita and my parents will be coming over those days, and our two families plan to have a dinner together.��


    Lacie chuckled, walked over to Chenelle, hugged her shoulders, and asked:


    ��I remember you said before that there was a man chasing you, what happened now?��


    "not so good."


    ?They all know more or less about Veranith. Veranith is not the kind of woman who sits in an office all the time. She has also led teams on missions at the grassroots level in the past, and she is not lacking in skills and skills.


    ��Two days from now it��s Christmas Eve, three days from now it��s Christmas.��


    Lacey counted on her fingers, looked at everyone with a smile, and asked:


    ��How are you planning to spend these days? Do you have any plans?��


    ?Later, I went to the hospital to get medicine and saw an injured robber trying to escape, so I kicked him unconscious and handed him over to the local police.


    ?Winslow finished Lacey��s apple in two bites and said with a smile:


    Hearing Luo An��s explanation, Winslow and Lacey had doubts, but they did not continue to ask any more questions.


    Winslow��s holiday arrangements are very warm. Michelle��s relationship with her mother is not good, but she plans to go back and take a look this time.


    ��The other person is a doctor who works in a hospital. We met when we were treating my parents.


    ��Let��s have a family gathering. The last time our two families got together was four years ago.��


    He thought I was working as an ordinary clerk in a government department in Washington, D.C., but he didn��t believe me when I told him that I was an FBI agent who frequently traveled to the field.


    Gossip is always very attractive. After hearing Lacey''s words, everyone present turned their attention to Chenelle, including Roan and Mona.


    Facing the curious eyes of everyone, Cheniel did not feel embarrassed and said directly:


    Chenelle''s strength is second only to Roan and Winslow. She does have the ability to kick people unconscious. Both Lacey and Mona can imagine the expression on the male doctor''s face when he saw this scene. .


    Hand out his hand, Mona patted Cheniel on the shoulder. Mona looked at Lacey and asked:


    ��What about you, Lacey? You��ve been asking us about our vacation plans, and what do you want to do?��


    ��I didn��t want to do anything, I just asked.�� Lacey was a little embarrassed, spread her hands and explained:


    ��I went to the hospital for a physical check-up a few days ago, and the results showed that my physical condition was... wonderful.


    So I have given up going to bars and parties, and now I focus on taking care of my body. "


    ??Mona and others'' expressions changed slightly, and they looked at Lacey with some worry. Just as they were about to ask how her health was doing, Luo An, who had been silent for the whole time, laughed out loud and asked:


    ��You��ve given up going to bars and parties, what about women?��


    "Also...reduced a bit."


    Lacie smiled and said:


    ��I only date two girls a week now.��


    ?Mona, Chenelle, and Winslow all rolled their eyes, the worry in their eyes disappeared, and they seemed to be fine.


    ��Speaking of which, I still have to thank you, Luo An.��


    ??Lacie was very thick-skinned in this regard and selectively ignored the looks from Chenelle and others. She refilled Luo An''s tea cup with water and said with a smile:


    ��Remember my neighbor who thought I was noisy? Their family moved out of Washington, D.C., a few days ago due to financial problems.


    ?That villa has already been bought by me. "


    ��You bought another villa?��


    Winslow and Chenelle were very surprised. Lacey nodded proudly, patted Roan on the shoulder and said with a smile:


    ��Thanks to Luo An for distributing the bonus!��


    After the [Lieutenant Governor��s Murder Case] ??was over, Mr. Morgan was very trustworthy and directly transferred the ten million dollars promised in advance to the account of the special investigation team.


    Luo An didn��t waste any time and distributed the money to the detectives of the special investigation team the next day.


    Team leader Luo An received 4 million, Mona, Lacey, Michelle, Winslow, and Chenelle each received 1 million. After deducting taxes, the remaining funds were left in the account for future case handling. funding.


    On the day the funds arrived, Winslow, Chenelle, Michelle and Lacey were all happy. Their affection and loyalty to Roan increased a lot again. Mona also became the master for the second time that night.


    ?After a moment of laughter and noise, the hands on the clock reached the off-duty time. Lacey, Winslow, Chenelle, and Michelle left one after another. Mona finally walked out of the office area with Roan on crutches.


    Christmas is a festival that people in the Federation take very seriously, so the next few days are holidays. Mona bought some ingredients on the way, and then drove Luo An back to the villa.


    After a short break, Lacey walked into the kitchen to make dinner. Luo An sat in front of the laptop in the study on the third floor, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.


    After the conclusion of the [Lieutenant Governor''s Murder Case], Luo An received 4 million US dollars, plus the bonus after the conclusion of the [Congress Speaker Case] ??[Serial Murder Case] ??[Gem Ring Curse Case] ??[FBI, CIA List Case], and finally In terms of basic salary, Luo An''s various gains in the past few months have added up to 15 million US dollars.


    ?This amount of money is not as large as that on Wall Street, but it is still a large sum of money. If you put it in the bank, it will only continue to depreciate. The best way is to invest it.


    In November, Luo An used the money to buy stocks. He bought the stocks of five listed companies at one time and also chose to short three companies.


    One of the three companies he chose to short happened to be Illinois Nuclear Power Company.


    ? In December, the scandal broke out, and Illinois Nuclear Power Company''s stock fell off a cliff. Luo An spent US$4 million shorting the company''s stock, making nearly US$11 million in one week.


    ? This amount of money may seem like a lot, but it is nothing to the people behind the deal and the Illinois Nuclear Power Energy Company, which has a market value of more than 30 billion.


    ? Luo An wanted this result, so he finally retreated decisively and left the game with 11 million US dollars.


    Later, Leighton Perelman was shot in the head by an "unknown sniper" from a long distance, and the stock price of Illinois Nuclear Power Company began to rise. Luo An watched from afar without entering the market.


    ?The goal has been achieved and it has successfully killed two birds with one stone. There is no need to do too many actions later to avoid attracting attention.

    Chapter 757 Taking stock of the harvest, polonium 210 appears again


    As for the other two stocks shorted by Luo An, their stock prices rose steadily, causing Luo An to lose nearly US$2 million.


    ??Luo An didn''t feel the slightest anger or sadness about this. What he wanted was to lose money on these two stocks, otherwise it would be shown that his shorting of Illinois Nuclear Power Company was pure "good luck."


    ��Originally I spent 15 million US dollars, but I spent 3 million to buy a few stocks. There will be no gains in the short term, but there will be no losses in the long run.


    Spent $5 million shorting two companies and lost $2 million; spent $4 million shorting Illinois Nuclear Power Energy Company and made $11 million..."


    After calculating clearly his recent capital flows, Luo An raised his eyebrows as he looked at the tens of millions of dollars in income in the account, then put away the smile on his face, deleted all the text, stood up and walked out of the study.


    ��You came just in time.��


    In the kitchen, Mona, who was busy when she saw Luo An walking in, pointed to the beef beside her and said:


    ��The steak is already fried, you can take it out.��


    "no problem."


    ?? Luo An immediately picked up the dinner plate and processed the beef. The two quickly prepared dinner. Luo An took out a bottle of red wine and poured some for Mona, smiling:


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ??Mona replied casually, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then wiped her mouth and said with a smile:


    ?Mona rolled her eyes and patted Luo An''s chest gently. She guessed what Luo An was thinking.


    ��That��s the beautiful woman we saw that time.��


    Later, Gyawali sent a letter to the two of them, stating that an old friend of his died suddenly and may be related to the environmental organization where the beautiful woman worked. He was pretending to be investigating the matter.


    ?Mona rolled her eyes:


    ?Luo An took a bite:


    ��I don��t feel it, it tastes just right.��


    ?Mona frowned slightly and said:


    ��Caroline said that her father would call her every once in a while to let her know that she was safe. Everything was normal and no accidents happened.


    ��I seemed to have put too much salt in my hands just now because my hands were shaking.��


    "I called, but he didn''t answer. Then I called Caroline and asked."


    ?The two chatted while eating dinner, with a tacit agreement not to mention the Illinois Nuclear Power Company. After finishing the meal, the two cleaned the tableware and began to sit on the sofa to rest.


    ?Luo An nodded in admiration. Jawali is indeed an agent who has worked in the CIA for most of his life. He is indeed strong and experienced.


    ��six.��


    ��I remember he was investigating something.��


    "That''s good."


    ��By the way, how is your father��s side?��


    ?Luo An was speechless with black lines all over his head. After a few seconds of silence, he asked:


    ��Do you know who your father��s superior is?��


    ?Caroline even said that he had slipped into the management of the organization and was in charge of nearly a hundred people. "


    On the sofa, Luo An held Mona in his arms and watched TV for a while. Suddenly he remembered something and asked:


    Snapped-


    The two of them traveled to Hawaii before and saw Jawali and a beautiful woman in a restaurant, chatting while eating and touching hands from time to time.


    "Um."


    ��Ahem.��


    ? Luo An coughed lightly, changed the subject and asked:


    ��By the way, you just said you had a phone call with Caroline. How is she doing there? Is the company going well?��


    "What''s the meaning?"


    ??Mona raised her eyebrows, struggled out of Luo An''s arms and sat up. She stared at Luo An with narrowed eyes and asked:


    ��What do you want to do?��


    "In no mood."


    Luo An silently pinched Mona''s pretty face, stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms again, and explained:


    ��I just want to ask Caroline about the operating conditions of that company to judge whether the British Empire��s MI6 or MI5 wants to stare at me by staring at Caroline.��


    "should not."


    When talking about business, Mona looked serious and said in a serious voice:


    ��Carolyn��s company is developing quite smoothly. There is competition in business, but it is normal competition within the industry, and no problems have been found.��


    Luo An pondered for a while, shook his head slightly, and said:


    ��Let��s find a chance to meet and find a way to check on the people around Caroline.��


    ??Mona frowned when she heard this. Just as she was about to say something, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang.


    Jingle Bell-


    ?Find out the phone and saw the phone number on it. Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, he pressed the answer button and said with a smile:


    ��Good evening, sir.�� ��Good evening.��


    ??An old familiar male voice came from the mobile phone, it was Mr. Clement.


    After a brief greeting, Mr. Clement went straight to the point and said:


    ��Luo An, come to my office, I have something to do.��


    ��Yes, sir.��


    After agreeing to hang up the phone, Luo An chuckled and patted Mona on the shoulder:


    ��Help me drive a car.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona drove and took Luo An, who had an injured ankle, to the FBI headquarters in Washington. It didn''t take long before they arrived at the Hoover Building.


    ??Mona stayed in the car and waited. Luo An walked to Mr. Clement��s office on crutches. When the secretary saw Luo An, he stood up and smiled and opened the door for him. Luo An nodded and thanked him and walked in slowly.


    In the spacious office, Mr. Clement did not sit behind the desk as usual. Today he was sitting on the sofa, wearing a pair of reading glasses and carefully reading the documents in his hand.


    ��Good evening, sir.��


    ??Luo An walked into the office and said hello. Mr. Clement raised his head and said hello:


    ��Sit directly.��


    ��Yes, sir.��


    Roan was not polite and sat directly on the sofa opposite Mr. Clement. Mr. Clement put down the documents, took off his reading glasses, and sighed:


    ��As I get older, my eyes are not as good as when I was young.��


    ��You are too tired.��


    ??Roan picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water for Mr. Clement, and said:


    ��Your health is the most important thing, you should get more rest, sir.��


    ��I��m used to it.��


    ?Picked up the water glass and took a sip. Mr. Clement did not continue the pleasantries and said directly:


    ��Verenis hasn��t contacted you for a long time, right?��


    Luo An nodded:


    ��It��s been more than a week.��


    ��Do you know what case she is investigating?��


    ��Unclear.��


    ?Luo An shook his head:


    ��According to the FBI��s confidentiality regulations, the officer didn��t tell me, and I didn��t ask.��


    ��Good.��


    Mr. Clement nodded with satisfaction and then asked:


    ��Remember the poisoning case of the former NSA director?��


    "Remember."


    Roan filled Mr. Clement��s water glass again and replied:


    "The murderer in that case was a killer named "Blue Eyes Roy", who was arrested by me along with several other killers.


    The killer organization is called "Skull Flower" and has been destroyed. "


    ��The killer you mentioned died not long ago.��


    Speaking of this, Mr. Clement��s face slowly darkened. He handed the folder on the table to Luo An and introduced:


    ��It is this case that Veranith is investigating.��


    Luo An took the folder and opened it. Inside was the autopsy report of the killer "Blue Eyes Roy".


    There is not much content and it is not complicated. One line of text instantly caught Luo An��s attention:


    ��The victim had a small amount of polonium 210 in his body and died of radiation poisoning��


    ��Polonium 210?!��


    Roan frowned when he saw this familiar word, and Mr. Clement said solemnly:


    ��I just received news that polonium-210 was also detected in Verenis�� body.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 758： [Verinisi Investigation Case Polonium 210 Poisoning Case]

    Chapter 758 [Veranis Investigation Case Polonium 210 Poisoning Case]


    Eight o''clock in the evening, FBI headquarters in Washington, Mr. Clement''s office.


    ��Polonium-210 was also detected in Verenis�� body.��


    Hearing Mr. Clement��s words, Luo An frowned and asked:


    ��How is the person doing? How did he get poisoned? What is the poisoning vector?��


    "This is not clear yet, but Veranith has been sent to the hospital and is being processed there."


    Mr. Clement��s voice was low and concentrated:


    ��The relevant doctor said that the test results showed that the poisoning time of Veranis did not exceed 10 hours, and it was still within the effective rescue time, so there was time for emergency treatment.��


    Polonium 210 is a very toxic nuclear element. After it enters the human body, it will be adsorbed on proteins and even combine with plasma. It will travel along the blood to the bones, lungs, heart, etc., and eventually cause tumors, liver, etc. due to radiation effects. Atrophy, nephrosclerosis.


    Polonium 210 is essentially a heavy metal. Common heavy metal poisonings have antidotes, and polonium 210 is no exception. Generally, dimercapto chelating agents are mainly used for detoxification.


    The reason why polonium-210 is so deadly most of the time is not because of its horrific toxicity, but because it is difficult to detect in time, and ultimately the best rescue time is missed, directly entering the countdown to life.


    ??Luo An did not reject Mr. Clement directly, but he did not agree immediately. He patted his thigh and said with a wry smile:


    Luo An nodded suddenly, a few thoughts flashed through his mind but his expression remained unchanged, and then asked:


    ��I want you to pick up where Verenith left off.


    ��The killer died in prison, which was just an introduction.


    Mr. Clement put down the water glass, got up and left the sofa and walked to the desk. He found a folder and handed it to Luo An, and said in a solemn voice:


    ��It��s not me who��s worried, it��s the people above who are worried.��


    ��Verenis was poisoned and hospitalized, but the investigation of this case cannot be stopped.��


    On the other hand, investigate the source of these polonium-210, find out the people who sell it and the people who make it, and then capture them! "


    On the one hand, investigate clearly and catch the person who poisoned Veranith.


    All polonium-210 that can be used in human society is produced by scientists using nuclear reactors using technical means. The production is very small. There is a clearly recorded production, which is only about 100 grams per year in the world.


    Polonium-210 is not a common item. Natural polonium only exists in uranium ores or thorium ores, and its content in the earth��s crust is one part per trillion.


    ��So, what does the sir mean by calling me here tonight?��


    After Mr. Clement finished speaking, Luo An suddenly understood:


    ��Sir, are you worried that someone is secretly producing and selling polonium-210?��


    ��Blue-Eyed Roy�� was a killer, and his death in prison was, in a sense, not particularly out of the ordinary.


    The key question is who killed him and why.


    ?A few micrograms of polonium-210 is enough to cause death, but items of a few micrograms are difficult to detect without special inspection.


    ?The incident that Verenis was actually investigating was the source of the item that poisoned her, polonium-210. "


    ?As mentioned before, the most terrifying thing about polonium-210 is not its severe toxicity, but its difficulty in detecting it.


    Mr. Clement picked up the water glass and took a sip. He gave Roan a look and said:


    Mr. Clement glanced at Luo An, feeling very satisfied in his heart. He nodded slightly and said:


    Hearing that Veranith had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, Luo An relaxed his brows and let out a long sigh of relief, and then asked:


    ��Sir, is Chief Verenis really only investigating the murder of ��Blue-Eyed Roy��?��


    ��Sir, my ankle was injured some time ago and I cannot move as quickly as before in a short period of time. This case may not take a long time.��


    ??The reason Luo An said this was to deepen his impression and let Mr. Clement know how difficult it was for him, and also to serve as a simple test.


    ��I know you were physically injured, and it��s really **** you this time, but there��s no need to rush this case.��


    Mr. Clement walked up to Luo An and patted him on the shoulder. His eyes were full of approval. He comforted Luo An and explained at the same time:


    "The identity of the person who can obtain polonium-210 and the person who can produce polonium-210 is probably unusual, and there may be someone else behind it. From the very beginning, Veranith has been carrying out secret investigations, and you are no exception. The same can be done secretly.


    The time for investigating the case has been requested by Veranis for six months, and you do not need to change it. If there are special circumstances, it can be extended, so you don��t have to worry about time at all. "


    ?Feeling the appreciation and sincerity in Mr. Clement��s words, Luo An��s eyes moved slightly, nodded and agreed with a smile:


    ��Okay, sir, I will investigate this case seriously.��


    Mr. Clement nodded with satisfaction and finally added:


    ��Veranith has been hospitalized. You must be more careful when investigating and remember to check your body frequently.


    In addition, if you encounter difficulties, please call in time. I am here to provide you with support at any time! "


    ��No problem sir, I��ve written it down and I��ll pay more attention to it!��


    ��Good.��


    The two chatted briefly for a while, and Luo An left Mr. Clement''s office. The secretary at the door quickly got up to help Luo An get the documents, and sent Luo An all the way to the parking lot downstairs.


    ?Sitting in the car, Luo An looked at his secretary with a smile:


    "Thanks."


    "You''re welcome."


    ??The secretary waved his hand to express it was a trivial matter, then he looked at Mona, smiled and said a few words, then turned and returned to the FBI Washington headquarters building.


    ��This is really rare.��


    ?Looking at the secretary��s slowly disappearing back, Mona started the car and drove out of the parking lot, complaining:


    ��As long as Mr. Clement is here, this secretary has hardly left the door of that office, and has never been seen being sent downstairs.��


    ��Maybe it��s because my ankle is injured and it��s inconvenient.��


    Luo An smiled and replied casually. He knew the reason for the secretary''s change in attitude, and he didn''t feel that he looked down on the other party or anything about it. Respecting each other and cooperating with each other were the correct ways to open things up.


    ??Mona also knew these things, she just complained casually. After the car entered the main road, she asked:


    ��What is Mr. Clement doing with you tonight? And what case is it?��


    ��According to the type of case, this is a poisoning case and a dangerous goods investigation case.��


    Luo An rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and thought, and said:


    ��The difference is that this time the enemy may come from within.��


    ??Mona: ��?��


    ����


    Three days later, the day after Christmas, news came from the hospital that Veranith had completed emergency treatment and had left the radiation intensive care unit and been transferred to the general advanced care unit.


    After learning that visits were allowed, Luo An immediately set off and went to the hospital to check the situation.


    ?At ten o''clock in the morning, a high-end ward on the sixth floor of a well-known hospital in New York.


    ??After a brief inspection to make sure there were no hidden audio or video recording equipment in the room, Luo An put down his crutches and sat next to the hospital bed, smiling and saying:


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    Veranis smiled bitterly and waved her hand slightly:


    "not good at all."


    ?At this time, Veranith''s face was pale, and her original smart and sharp makeup had all disappeared, replaced by a warm and tired look, and the large hospital gown also made her look very thin.


    Polonium 210 entered the intestines and stomach, and required rescue measures such as inducing vomiting, gastric lavage, slowing diarrhea, diuresis, etc. Veranith had been completely exhausted in the past few days.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 759： Vereniths Clues

    Chapter 759: Clues about Verenis


    ��Your lips are dry, drink some water, sir.��


    ??Luo An smiled, turned around where Veranith couldn''t see, took out a bottle of [antidote] and poured it into a water glass, then poured some white water into the cup and handed it to Veranith, smiling:


    ��It��s uncomfortable, but the poisoning is discovered early, which is a blessing among misfortunes.��


    "Right."


    Veranith took a few sips from the water glass, with a wry smile on her face:


    ��At least he survived.��


    ?Before Luo An came to visit, Veranith had taken the opportunity to ask the doctor whether her poisoning would leave any sequelae.


    The doctor said that he is not sure yet, and more observation is needed in the future. At present, the main treatment is injection of drugs and rest, and he must not leave the hospital in a short period of time.


    After a brief chat, Veranith stepped into the topic and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��Mr. Clement, have I given this case to you?��


    ?Luo An nodded, and Veranith sighed helplessly:


    ��As expected.��


    ��Luo An, the circumstances of this case are special and different from the cases you have handled before.��


    The doctor said that the test results showed that she had been poisoned for less than 10 hours. Veranith carefully recalled all her experiences in the first 10 hours.


    ?Taking a deep breath, Veranith''s pale face was very serious and she said in a deep voice:


    Clement has a lot of talented people, but the circumstances of this case are special. There are not many people who can be trusted by Mr. Clement and have the ability to investigate this case.


    She was leading a team to investigate a nuclear-related laboratory at the time. When the person in charge of the laboratory introduced polonium-210, he did a test on Verenis and several others, and found that Verenis had been poisoned.


    ??This mission is another secret mission. Except for Mr. Clement and FBI Director Robert, only a few high-level officials know about it... Veranith seriously suspects that the people above may not be clean either.


    Being able to poison with such precision, Veranith seriously suspected that there was something wrong with the agents she led.


    The biggest abnormality is the absence of any abnormality. All the items that Veranith came into contact with, and other agents she led, also came into contact with more or less, but in the end, only she was poisoned, and the others were fine.


    In addition, only a very small dose, such as a grain of dust, can poison people. The particles released by small doses of polonium 210 are not easily detected by Geiger counters. This makes food, water, and even the air blown by air conditioners become toxic. Very dangerous.


    The food, water, the places she walked, the things she took, etc., Veranith recalled them all carefully and carefully, but in the end she found nothing unusual.


    ��I understand, sir.��


    ��In addition to polonium 210, there are also internal problems. You have to be more careful and pay more attention to details.��


    ??The reason why Verenis was discovered in time this time was purely due to luck.


    Speaking of this, Veranith then lowered her voice and added:


    In the early stages of polonium-210 entering the body, there is almost no feeling and it is difficult to detect. By the time you feel dizzy, nauseous, or vomiting, you have missed the best time for rescue and have directly entered the countdown to your life.


    The specific time when she was poisoned was something that Veranith kept thinking about when she was being rescued.


    ??Veriness was injured and hospitalized, and Luo An, who was outstanding in all aspects such as intelligence, political skills, and combat ability, immediately became the only suitable candidate.


    ?Luo An nodded seriously, he also discovered these situations.


    ??The folder that Mr. Clement had previously given to Roan showed that because the circumstances of this mission were special and should not be publicized, the agents selected by Veranith were all temporarily randomly selected and transferred by her.


    ??These agents were originally notified by their superiors that these people needed to go to further study; the agents themselves did not know the specific mission until they left the Washington headquarters and arrived at a location randomly selected by Verenis. After reading all the information, Luo An became extremely vigilant about the people above him that day. At the same time, he secretly sent a message to other agents of the special investigation team, asking them to be more careful in the past few days.


    ?At the same time, Luo An also asked Mona to secretly contact several hospitals and nuclear-related laboratories, planning to conduct physical examinations every 12 hours during the investigation of the case.


    Learning that Luo An had already made preparations and arrangements, Veranith nodded with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief.


    Polonium 210 was too difficult to guard against, and she was very worried that Luo An would end up in bed like her.


    ?Even Veranith felt that lying on the bed was a good thing, but she was afraid that Luo An would not even have a chance to lie on the bed. This was the thing that Veranith was most afraid of.


    ??Took the water glass, filled it again and handed it to Veranith. Luo An smiled and comforted her a few words, and then asked:


    ��Sir, how far have you reached in investigating this case?��


    After the death of "Blue-Eyed Roy", Veranith has led a team to conduct a secret investigation for more than a week. It is impossible that no clues have been found.


    Regarding the relevant investigation documents, Luo An has asked Mona and Cheniel to go and retrieve the special investigation team, but there are some things that the documents will not explain and can only be known by asking the parties involved.


    Hearing Luo An talk about business, Veranith said seriously with a serious face:


    ��The autopsy results showed that there were only two wounds on ��Blue-Eyed Roy��:


    The wound was stabbed into the heart with a sharp instrument. The murderer even twisted it, causing the wound to expand.


    The other wound was on the throat, which was scratched with a sharp instrument, causing blood to pour into the trachea, and eventually he died of suffocation. "


    Luo An frowned slightly when he heard this:


    ��This doesn��t seem to have been done by a human hand?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Veranith glanced at Luo An appreciatively, with an unnoticeable admiration flashing in her eyes, and then said:


    ��We soon found out who did it. ��Blue-Eyed Roy�� was not a simple guy. When he was killed, he also killed the two guys who attacked him.


    ?Those two men were both criminals who had been sentenced to more than fifty years in prison. One was named Owen and the other was named Davis.


    The weapons used by the two of them were a sharp and sharpened iron spoon that they got from an unknown source, and a fragment of an iron knife that they got from an unknown source.


    As for why the two wanted to kill "Blue-Eyed Roy", no clues could be found, and no one has visited them in the short term.


    ??We suspect that the man who contacted the two and asked them to kill "Blue Eyes Roy" was a prison guard in the prison, or another criminal in the prison.


    ??The prison system is self-contained, and this case cannot be investigated with great fanfare, so the prison line is temporarily stuck here.


    But in fact, I have bribed a prison guard named Danny and obtained a lot of information from him. The specific content is in one of my notebooks. You can check it out yourself. "


    Luo An thought carefully, remembered all this information in his mind, and then asked:


    ��What about polonium-210? Sir, have you found anything?��


    Hearing the word polonium 210, Veranith''s face suddenly sank. She took a deep breath and said in a concentrated voice:


    ��Through some channels, I obtained a list of nuclear laboratories within the federal territory that can produce polonium-210.


    ?Most nuclear laboratories have fairly strict management, and the whereabouts of relevant radioactive materials can be clearly identified.


    But some nuclear laboratories, due to the capital investment of some private companies, have made their management chaotic and even the processing of many fuels does not meet the standards.


    ?Especially on the federal east coast, some nuclear laboratories invested and supported by the Illinois Nuclear Power Company have the most serious violations! "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 760： Meet, chat and interrogate

    Chapter 760 Meeting, Chatting-Interrogation


    At eleven o''clock at noon, a high-end ward deep on the sixth floor of a well-known hospital in New York.


    ��Illinois Nuclear Energy Corporation����


    Hearing this name, an unnoticeable color flashed through Luo An''s eyes. Veranith did not notice it and continued with a gloomy face:


    ��This energy company owns ten nuclear power plants, and its subsidiaries are mainly engaged in the production, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity to residential, commercial, industrial and wholesale customers.


    In addition to nuclear power plants, the company has also invested in dozens of nuclear laboratories, large and small, in various federal states.


    ?Some laboratories are small and do not have the ability to extract and condense polonium-210. There are only 6 large-scale nuclear laboratories that can carry out operations related to polonium-210.


    These six large nuclear laboratories have serious violations of fuel handling! "


    Luo An suppressed his thoughts and asked:


    ��Sir, do you suspect that people in these nuclear laboratories are responsible for the leaked polonium-210?��


    ��The possibility is very high.��


    Veranith simply told some clues she knew, repeated her worries several times, and asked Luo An to be cautious. After Luo An agreed with a smile, he got up and left the ward.


    Luo An rubbed his temples, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile:


    After pondering for a while, he found his cell phone and called Chenelle, asking her to go with Winslow to the place Veranith mentioned before and get the notebook back.


    "OK."


    "no problem!"


    ?It doesn��t matter if you can��t find out some things, as long as you find out the working hours, personnel composition, family information and economic information of those nuclear laboratories. "


    Roan then called Michelle again and ordered:


    ??Lacie on the other end of the phone smiled, patted her chest and promised to complete the task, and then hung up the phone.


    Veranith nodded solemnly and said in a concentrated voice:


    ��In addition, polonium-210 is not something that can be made just by wanting to make it. The process of making it is quite complicated and requires a lot of raw materials.


    ?In addition to the people in these nuclear laboratories, I suspect that the top executives of the Illinois Nuclear Power Company are also involved! "


    ��You must be careful when investigating this case...��


    The two opened the door and got into the car. Mona fastened her seat belt and asked:


    ��What to do next?��


    ??In the corridor, Luo An walked slowly forward on crutches while carefully meditating on the clues Veranith said.


    ??Luo An nodded and did not refute Veranith''s inference.


    He even thought deeply about it. Considering the profit-seeking executives of the Illinois Nuclear Power Company, polonium-210 might have been produced by one of them and arranged for people from the nuclear laboratory to produce it and sell it quietly.


    "clear."


    ?Michelle received the order and hung up the phone. Luo An took the elevator down to the first floor and walked into the parking lot, where Mona had been waiting for a long time.


    Chenelle on the other end of the phone agreed decisively and pulled Winslow to move quickly. Roan then called Lacey and said:


    ��Lacie, change your identity and go to the prison where Blue-Eyed Roy is located, and try to bring the prison guard named Danny back quietly. I want to talk to him about something.��


    ��Michelle, investigate the situation of the nuclear laboratories that Illinois Nuclear Power Company has invested in.


    ��Go to an abandoned warehouse in southern New York and I��ll show you the way.��


    "Simple!"


    ��It��s time to meet and chat with the agents that Verenis temporarily transferred this time.��


    ����


    ??Given that this mission is a secret mission, Veranis temporarily transferred not many agents, only five people, three men and two women, from different departments of the FBI. After Veranith was poisoned and sent to the hospital, a detective named Bob, who was his highest-ranking agent except Veranith, immediately took control of the scene and strictly ordered no one to leave other people''s homes. sight.


    ?Verenice suspected that she had been poisoned by agents from the investigation team, and Bob also thought of this.


    In order to show that he had no problem, and to convince others to believe in him, Bob did not engage in privileges and put himself under the surveillance of others, monitoring other people in the team together with everyone.


    ?Mr. Clement later handed the case to Luo An, who immediately contacted Bob.


    ��Good afternoon, everyone.��


    ?At 1:30 in the afternoon, Luo An and Mona met with five agents in an abandoned warehouse in southern New York.


    The five agents, three men and two women, stood at a certain distance from each other and were wary of the others. Veranith''s poisoning had obviously reduced the level of trust between them.


    ��Hello, Leader Greenwood, I have heard of your name for a long time, and I finally have the opportunity to meet you today.��


    After Luo An said hello, a white man who looked about forty years old and had a beard immediately came up to him, stretched out his hand to Luo An and said with a smile:


    ��I��m Bob.��


    ��Hello, thank you for your hard work during this time.��


    ?Under Mona��s frowning gaze, Roan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Bob��s hand, then shook hands with the other four agents respectively, and finally said:


    ��Everyone, I��m going to have a chat with you individually to get a brief understanding of the situation.��


    ?It was said to be a chat, but in fact it was an interrogation. Several detectives present understood the subtext of Luo An''s words, but they did not object or refuse.


    ?Several people have heard that Luo An has a "very powerful micro-expression analysis technique." As long as Luo An doesn''t find any abnormalities, then there is a high probability that this person will be fine.


    ��Good.��


    ?Seeing that several people did not refute, Luo An nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Bob, and said with a smile:


    ��Let��s talk first.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Bob also nodded, and walked to the small room in the distance with Luo An, which was originally used to temporarily store mechanical equipment and was now turned into a temporary interrogation room.


    ??Mona stayed behind to guard the remaining agents. The several agents looked at each other and carefully observed the others again.


    In the small room, Luo An put his crutches aside, pulled up a chair and sat down. Bob pulled up a chair and sat opposite. Luo An asked directly without any nonsense:


    ��Bob, briefly describe the story of Veranith��s poisoning.��


    ��Sorry, I don��t know exactly when she was poisoned. I can only explain what I saw and what I personally experienced.��


    Agent Bob is obviously an experienced person. He is very careful to avoid the pits Luo An dug intentionally or unintentionally in his words, and then carefully describes everything he knows.


    In his description, Veranith brought the five detectives together before formally introducing the case, introducing each other and getting to know several other detectives, and then officially launched the case investigation.


    ??????????? The idea of ????Verenis'' investigation was very clear. She first went to the prison where "Blue-Eyed Roy" died to check for information, and then set her sights on the Illinois Nuclear Power Energy Company to investigate the company''s situation.


    ?In addition to the nuclear laboratory owned by Illinois Nuclear Power Company, there are also three nuclear laboratories owned by other companies that are suspected.


    Based on the principle of putting the easy things first and then the difficult ones, Veranith decided to investigate these three nuclear laboratories first.


    The first nuclear laboratory basically found no abnormalities. When they arrived at the second nuclear laboratory, a person in charge introduced polonium-210 and was willing to do a free test for a few of them. Then they found that Veranith had already poisoned.


    After Bob finished narrating, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and then asked:


    ��What do you think about the agent used by the murderer to poison Verenice?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 761： prison riot

    Chapter 761 Prison Riot


    ?Bob took a deep breath and answered seriously:


    ��We have also discussed this issue, and finally came to the conclusion that the murderer most likely poisoned Veranith through food or drinking water.��


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows and then asked:


    ��Are there any doubtful candidates?��


    ?Bob looked through the window at the female agent standing on the far left and said:


    ��Under the arrangement of Veranith, Susan is responsible for the daily diet of our investigation team. She is responsible for purchasing and handling the food and drinking water for all of us these days.��


    ? Luo An��s expression remained unchanged:


    ��Do you suspect that Agent Susan poisoned you?��


    ��No, on the contrary, Agent Susan is the only agent I can confirm that there is nothing wrong with her.��


    ?Bob shook his head and replied in a deep voice:


    ��It is precisely because Susan is responsible for purchasing and handling food for us people that I am sure that she was not the one who poisoned the food.��


    ?Bob��s idea is very simple. If he were Susan, he would never be able to do it within the scope of his work.


    The last one to walk into the room was Agent Susan. When she sat down, Luo An didn��t waste any time and went straight to the topic:


    ��Who do you suspect?��


    ??Veriness was poisoned, and Susan, who was in charge of food, was the biggest suspect. She was not that stupid.


    "Sorry, Leader Greenwood, I have no doubts about the candidate."


    But the gunfire inside has not stopped, I suspect that the situation inside may be quite bad! "


    In response to Luo An��s question, Agent Susan smiled bitterly and said:


    Agent Susan rubbed her face helplessly and said in a low voice:


    Those prisoners in the prison have cut off all contact with the outside world. No one knows what the specific situation is in the prison now!


    ??Agent Susan is about thirty years old, a white woman who looks very ordinary and has a few freckles on her face.


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to speak, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    At the end of the sentence, Bob spread his hands and said with a wry smile:


    ��Susan used two layers of counter-logic. She was indeed the one who poisoned her, but she made us feel that it was not her.��


    ��Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out.��


    "Yes, if you look at the work assigned by Chief Verenis, I am indeed very suspicious."


    Jingle Bell-


    Before Luo An finished speaking, Lacey��s anxious voice rang on the phone:


    "Roan! There was a riot in the prison where "Blue-Eyed Roy" was originally imprisoned! When I arrived here, the police near the prison had already sent people to suppress it!


    Like Bob, these three agents are not sure who the poisoner was, but they all believe that it is definitely not Agent Susan.


    Over the next two hours, Luo An briefly chatted with the other three agents about their experiences in the past few days, their respective work contents, and their suspects.


    ��But it��s really not me who poisoned him. I don��t have any direct evidence to prove this, but I really didn��t do it.��


    ?Taking out his cell phone, he saw that the caller was Lacey. Luo An''s expression changed slightly and he pressed the answer button:


    ��It��s me, Luo An, what��s going on over there����


    "Yeah?"


    ?Luo An smiled and did not answer Bob''s words. After a few words of communication, Luo An asked Bob to leave and replaced the next agent to enter the room.


    Luo An closed the folder, smiled and said:


    ��But they all think you are suspicious.��


    ��Prison riot?!��


    Hearing this word, Luo An''s face suddenly darkened, he stood up suddenly and walked out, asking as he walked:


    ��Lacie, how are you doing now?��


    "I... am safe. The local police took me aside and did not allow me to enter the prison to check the specific situation."


    Lacey on the other end of the phone said this in a somewhat unhappy tone, and Luo An understood what she meant instantly.


    That is, the local police put Lacey under "house arrest" for some reasons and isolated her from the matter "for her personal safety."


    ��It doesn��t matter, just keep yourself safe.��


    ??Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and he did not order Lacey to find a way to break into the investigation, and then added:


    ��Pay attention to observe the situation at the scene more carefully.�� ?????��Understand.��


    ??Lacie also understood the subtext of Luo An''s words, and hung up the phone after a few simple exchanges.


    ??Seeing Luo An interrogating Agent Susan for less than five minutes, he suddenly opened the door and walked out. Mona, Bob and several other agents were all stunned for a moment, and then they all came over:


    "what happened?"


    "It''s nothing. I will contact Mr. Clement later and ask him to send someone to take you to rest for a few days."


    ??Luo An waved his hands without saying anything, and called Mr. Clement in front of everyone. He briefly appeased several agents for a moment and asked them to wait quietly, and then led Mona to leave the area.


    ?Following Luo An��s guidance, Mona drove straight toward the west of New York. After the car entered the main road, she turned around and asked:


    ��Luo An, who was the poisoner? Did you find out?��


    ��There is someone else who poisoned someone other than these five agents.��


    ?Luo An quickly searched for the phone number on his phone and gave a brief reply.


    From the moment he entered the abandoned warehouse, Luo An has been using the "emotional perception" in his mind.


    Not only was no agent found to be hostile or murderous towards him and Mona, during the interrogation process, the five agents also asked and answered whatever they asked, and they told the truth without lying.


    Mona was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said:


    ��It wasn��t one of them who poisoned me? How is it possible?��


    ��Don��t get me wrong, I just said that the five of them were not active poisoners.��


    Roan found Cheniel��s phone number and called her. While waiting, he said to Mona:


    ��Perhaps someone borrowed the hand of one of the five of them and poisoned Veranith, but they didn��t know it themselves. This possibility still exists and cannot be ruled out yet.��


    ??Mona frowned even more tightly, but Cheniel had already answered the phone. Roan did not continue to explain to Mona, but said into the phone:


    ��Chanelle, how��s it going with you and Winslow?��


    ��Everything goes well, I��ve got Veranith��s notes.��


    Chenelle on the other end of the phone spoke in a relaxed tone and asked:


    ��Any new tasks?��


    ��You guys go to the prison guard Danny��s house immediately.��


    ?? Luo An briefly described Lacey��s phone call just now and the situation of the prison riot, and said in a solemn voice:


    ��There is an old mother at Danny��s house. Go to Danny��s house quickly to protect this old woman. She is very likely to be the murderer��s next target!��


    Cheniere on the other end of the phone suddenly looked stern. Winslow, who was standing next to Cheniere, changed his face slightly and asked:


    ��Luo An, do you think the mastermind behind this prison riot is targeting prison guard Danny?��


    ��Not sure, but it��s possible.��


    Luo An sneered and asked:


    ��Prison riots are not common, and the timing of this one is too coincidental, isn��t it?��


    Winslow��s face darkened, and Chenelle said solemnly:


    ��Understood, let��s set off now.��


    ��Good, please be careful and call for support if something goes wrong.��


    ?? After a few brief explanations, Luo An took the initiative to hang up the phone, and then called the SWAT team and asked them to send someone to the prison immediately.


    After communicating, Luo An hung up the phone and sat in the passenger seat, lost in thought. Mona, who was driving, swallowed, hesitated for a few seconds, and whispered:


    "Luo An, this case..."


    ��Suppression, poisoning, prison riots.��


    Luo An grinned, and a cold look flashed in his eyes:


    ��The people behind this case are so interesting.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 762： The result of the riot, sniper killer

    Chapter 762 The result of the riot, sniper killer


    A well-known prison in Western New York.


    When Luo An and Mona arrived in this area, a large circle of cameras and reporters were already surrounding them. The nearby police blocked the route to prevent them from approaching, and a group of people firmly blocked the way forward.


    ?These media workers not only broadcast live reports on the conditions in distant prisons on the ground, but also had several helicopters rumbling around in the sky, recording the conditions in the prison from the sky.


    ��FBI.��


    Facing the local police who blocked their progress, Mona lowered the car window and took out the FBI''s golden badge to show it. The police who blocked them nodded, turned around and waved their hands to let the two enter the scene.


    ?It is said to be the scene, but it is actually not far away from the prison. The local police only set up some tents in an open space outside the prison to serve as a temporary command place.


    ?In addition, most of the police officers at the scene did not enter the prison with guns to carry out violent suppression. This is not their job scope, but the work of the prison guard system, the special police system, and even the military.


    Roan and Luo An did not enter the temporary tent in the center, but walked together to a tent on the edge, where Lacey was.


    "How about it?"


    80 prison guards were quickly transferred here, and later they raided the prison together with the SWAT team.


    It is not convenient for too many people to know about this mission, so Luo An does not plan to have too many contacts with the officials with command authority under the central temporary tent, as long as he can get the final result.


    Twenty minutes have passed since their raid, and the gunfire has decreased a lot. It should be that the suppression was successful. "


    ��OK.��


    Lacey grinned, pointed to a group of people under the temporary tent in the center, and said:


    ��Shortly after the prison riot occurred, the local police issued an emergency notice in the residential areas around the prison and put the area outside the prison under martial law.


    ��This riot is not serious and is still under the control of those people.��


    ��Roan, Danny, the prison guard, died in the riot.


    When the three of them met, Luo An simply said hello, got straight to the point, and asked:


    After getting the list, Mona frowned when she saw the names of the prisoners and prison guards who lost their lives on the list. Lacey''s face was also very ugly. After a few seconds of silence, she lowered her voice and said:


    ?In addition to him, there were several other prisoners and prison guards who were suspected to have been in contact with Owen and Davis before "Blue-Eyed Roy" was killed, as mentioned by prison guard Danny. "


    Taking the list and looking at it, Luo An looked calm. He had already guessed this possibility.


    As for the damaged windows, beds, tables, chairs, benches, etc., statistics have not been collected in a short period of time. It can only be said that there is basically no intact infrastructure.


    "How is it going?"


    Looking at the extremely high walls of the prison in the distance, Luo An nodded slightly.


    ?As for prison guards, 31 prison guards were seriously injured, 9 prison guards died on the spot, and the remaining prison guards suffered varying degrees of minor injuries.


    ??Mona cursed in a low voice, then looked at Luo An with a serious face, and said in a condensed voice:


    ��Luo An, this prison riot is a premeditated murder operation!��


    "damn it."


    Just using prison riots to kill people and silence them is not an uncommon method, nor can anyone use it easily.


    ?Luo An was silent for a few seconds. He narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    ? Time moved forward slowly, and more than four hours passed. At 7:30 in the evening, the staff of the prison system finally summarized the list of victims of the prison riot.


    Among them, 270 prisoners were injured, 68 prisoners were seriously injured and were sent to the hospital for rescue, and 14 prisoners died on the spot.


    ��It��s me, Luo An.��


    ��I��m Winslow!��


    Winslow on the other end of the phone didn��t talk nonsense and said in a very anxious tone:


    "Roan! Someone just tried to assassinate prison guard Danny''s mother! Chenelle and I successfully stopped each other, but the guy also ran away!" Roan thought quickly and quickly ordered:


    ��Lacie, you continue to stay here and try to find out the cause of the prison riot, who was the first person to take action, and other information.


    ?Winslow, let Chenelle stay to guard Danny the prison guard''s mother, and you set out immediately to track down the killer! Remember to call the nearby police for support on the way!


    Me and Mona will set off for you now, we will be there soon! "


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    ??Lacie immediately nodded and accepted the order. Winslow on the other end of the phone agreed without hesitation, hung up the phone, and Roan immediately led Mona and quickly walked to the car.


    The human society of the Federation is more straightforward than that of the East. Prison Guard Danny is a child born and raised in this area. His ability to enter this prison as a prison guard is inseparable from his relatives and acquaintances in this prison.


    Therefore, the home of prison guard Danny is not far from the prison. It can be reached in less than thirty minutes by car. Mona''s driving speed is not as ridiculous as Roan''s, but she also quickly arrives at the place Winslow said. Place.


    ��The other party fled eastward.��


    The three of them met successfully. Winslow pointed to the woods not far away, with an ugly expression on his face and said in a low voice:


    ��The other party used a sniper rifle to assassinate Danny��s prison guard��s mother. Fortunately, Chenelle noticed something was wrong in advance and threw herself down to save the old woman.


    ??The sniper killer retreated decisively without a single hit, and also designed some ambushes on the way to escape, which delayed me for a lot of time and was distanced by the opponent. "


    ��It��s good that it��s not hurt.��


    ??Roan patted Winslow''s shoulder and gave a simple comfort, then looked at Mona. Mona nodded, took out a communicator from her pocket, and said coldly:


    ��The target person is quickly fleeing eastward in our area. If you have enough weapons, be sure to pay more attention and start taking action!��


    "clear!"


    As soon as the words fell, several strong shouts rang out from the communicator. Facing Winslow''s somewhat puzzled eyes, Luo An smiled and said:


    ��I called in the SWAT team for backup.��


    ?At the moment, all the agents of the special investigation team have their own tasks. The other party is very skilled, and Luo An is injured again. It is impossible for him to let Winslow go and arrest the other party alone.


    Based on these considerations, while driving to this area, Luo An contacted the SWAT team and asked them to come here to help support.


    ��OK.��


    Hearing that Luo An had been prepared, the tension on Winslow''s face slowly disappeared, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ��It��s very simple, let��s block the road.��


    Luo An smiled. It was not his style to wait here. After looking through the map of this area in the car, he observed it carefully for a moment, pointed to the southwest direction of their place on the map, and said in a deep voice:


    ��This is the most suitable evacuation route. Let��s go for a walk and see if we can wait for the sniper killer.��


    "Can."


    Winslow glanced at the map and grinned. Roan turned around and patted Mona on the shoulder and said:


    ��You go to Cheniel��s place to help, and by the way, search at the house of prison guard Danny, and then talk to prison guard Danny��s mother to see if there are any useful clues about Shan.��


    "OK."


    Winslow is the most powerful agent in the investigation team after Roan. Mona nodded and accepted the order, threw the car keys to him, turned around and started walking towards the community not far away.


    Roan leaned on crutches and got into the passenger seat of the car again. Winslow got into the driver''s seat and started the car, quickly identified the direction of travel, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.


    ?At the same time, in the jungle in the distance, a white man was running quickly with an unhappy expression on his face, while holding his cell phone and saying:


    ��Mission failed, I am retreating.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 763： Even the movie king cant act

    Chapter 763 Even the best actor cannot perform


    "mission failed?"


    ?Hearing what the white man said, the person on the other end of the phone was immediately surprised and asked:


    "what happened?"


    ��Something unexpected happened.��


    ??The white man ran quickly and replied:


    ��There was a sudden riot in that prison, which caused a sudden increase in police presence in the nearby area, which caused me some trouble.


    ?In addition, the prison guard��s home had two more FBI agents in advance. They were very capable, and some of them anticipated our actions. "


    ��Sonof than eat! It must be the man from Roan Greenwood!��


    The voice on the other end of the phone cursed, was silent for a few seconds, and asked:


    "How are you doing?"


    ��It��s okay, I��ve got rid of a very tall and strong FBI, and a group of SWAT action teams came behind me, but they are still some distance away from me.��


    ?A few seconds later, the grenade exploded, and the SWAT team members suddenly shouted:


    Verineth then discovered that she had been poisoned during the investigation and was rushed to the hospital for rescue.


    The male voice on the other end of the phone was very satisfied:


    ��After successfully evacuating, remember to hide for a while and act carefully.��


    ��Go fast!��


    ?At the same time, southwest of the woods, Winslow drove the car slowly on the road. Luo An sat in the passenger seat and said nothing, and the air in the car was very quiet.


    Luo An closed his eyes and frowned. He felt that there was a faint line connecting these things, but where exactly this line was and what it was, he had not discovered it yet, which gave him a headache.


    ��This way! This way!��


    ??Seeing Luo An in the passenger seat with his eyes closed in thought, Winslow, who was driving, opened his mouth several times, but in the end he remained silent.


    ?First, "Blue Eyes Roy" was assassinated in prison and died together with the two assassins.


    This case is very different from previous cases. There have been a lot of incidents so far.


    ��I have prepared an escape plan before taking action, and I will be able to get rid of them later.��


    Boom��


    ? Feeling that the SWAT team behind him was getting closer, the white man smiled disdainfully and threw the grenade into the distance.


    "I know."


    ?? After simply agreeing, the white man hung up the phone, took out a grenade from his pocket, and tied the disposable cell phone and the grenade together.


    ?After dodging the grenades, the SWAT team members quickly rushed here, but there was no white man here.


    ??Then there was a prison riot, and a group of prisoners and prison guards died, including Danny, the prison guard Luo An was looking for.


    ��Attention! The enemy has grenades!��


    ??The white man spoke in a relaxed tone and said calmly:


    ?Finally, someone tried to kill Danny''s prison guard''s mother to silence him, prompting him to call the SWAT team for support.


    ��Good.��


    ?He didn''t quite understand why Luo An believed that the sniper would flee in the direction where they were now.


    Winslow also took a look at that map just now. Not too far to the northeast of where they are, is the prison where the riot occurred.


    ?This means that there are currently sufficient police forces in the area. As long as someone is discovered, the sniper will most likely have difficulty escaping. Winslow therefore feels that the sniper is unlikely to move in this direction.


    ??However, after being in the special investigation team for so long, Winslow found that Luo An often had a unique and novel angle when considering things, and the probability of the final result being correct was still very high.


    Therefore, Winslow chose to suppress the doubts in his heart. Even if Luo An guessed wrong this time, it didn''t matter. There were still so many SWAT members chasing behind him anyway, so he followed Luo An''s order and drove slowly around the area. Hang out.


    Suddenly, Winslow''s expression became alarmed. He noticed a group of birds suddenly flying out of the woods not far away. He quickly drove the car in that direction. Before the car could reach that location, a grenade suddenly flew out of the woods. !


    ��Fu-k!��


    ?Winslow''s expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously turned the steering wheel to avoid the grenade. But he was still a step too slow, and the grenade suddenly exploded behind the car!


    Boom��


    There was a deafening explosion, the glass behind the car shattered to the ground instantly, and the trunk was dented.


    ����


    ?Although he was shocked, Winslow''s driving skills were pretty good and he stabilized his balance in time to prevent the vehicle from rolling over.


    The vehicle came to a stop. Winslow quickly got out of the car and hid behind the car, aiming at the direction from which the grenade came.


    ��Luo An! Come here quickly!��


    At the same time, Winslow immediately reached out to grab Luo An, hoping that Luo An would quickly move from the car to his side to prevent Luo An from circling outside the vehicle and being shot by the guy throwing a grenade.


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An also discovered that the grenade flew out of the woods on the right side, which meant that the enemy was hiding in the woods outside the co-pilot.


    ??Moving from the car to the left side of the car is indeed a very correct choice in this situation, but just as Luo An was about to move, he suddenly raised his brows, stopped and shouted loudly:


    ��Winslow, my foot is hurt! It��s inconvenient!��


    ��What?!��


    Winslow''s eyes suddenly widened and he was sweating profusely. Before he could act, a white man suddenly burst out of the woods on the right and quickly moved to the passenger seat of the car.


    ??The white man opened the car door and pulled Luo An out of the passenger seat. At the same time, he raised the muzzle of the gun and prepared to put it against Luo An''s head. He shouted to Winslow:


    ��Put down your weapon or I��ll shoot����


    ?Before the white man finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the muzzle of his gun was grabbed by someone and tilted to the side with force.


    The white man snorted, knowing that this was Luo An trying to resist, so he decisively raised his foot and stepped on Luo An''s bandaged left ankle, preparing to use the pain to force Luo An to push him to the ground. .


    ?Luo An took advantage of the situation and rolled. While avoiding the white man''s step, Luo An kicked his left foot upwards.


    �O


    There was a muffled sound and the indescribable pain from between the legs made the white man''s eyes bulge. Luo An didn''t give him a chance to react. He stood up and took out the crutches in the car and swung it directly towards the white man''s head. .


    Bang!


    ??The white man subconsciously bent down to avoid it, but he was still hit **** the chest by the crutch. A huge force was felt, coupled with the pain in his lower body, the white man suddenly couldn''t stand and fell heavily to the ground.


    ��Happy gift crab!��


    Winslow, who was next to him, saw Luo An standing up intact and knocking the white man to the ground. His face was filled with shock and stunned.


    ??The white man on the ground gasped in pain, and his face was full of surprise and shock:


    ��Didn��t you hurt your ankle?��


    ??Luo An unloaded the bullet from the pistol he grabbed, threw it aside, and showed a sunny smile to the white man:


    ��Surprise, Mother-fu-ker.��


    ����


    ??The white man��s eyes twitched, and he suddenly realized:


    ��Did you act on purpose?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An did not continue to hide it, smiled and nodded and admitted:


    ��My ankle is almost healed, and now I��m pretending to have difficulty moving just to confuse fools into thinking I��m a soft persimmon.


    ?The enemy thought he had succeeded, but I knocked him down and caught him with my backhand. Isn''t it interesting? "


    ?Luo An picked up the crutch, pointed at the distorted face of the white man, and said with a smile:


    ��That��s right, it��s your expression, it��s so great! Even the Oscar winner couldn��t do it!��


    The white man��s face trembled and he looked aggrieved:


    "me��"


    #%*��!


    ??Hundreds of curse words poured out of the white man''s heart at this moment, but before he could curse, Luo An picked up the crutch and pressed it against his head, laughing:


    ��Let��s talk, who sent you here?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 764： white man identity

    Chapter 764 The Identity of the White Man


    Nine o''clock in the evening, in western New York, in a community not far from a prison.


    ??In an ordinary house, a white man''s hands and feet were tightly handcuffed, and his whole body was tied tightly to a wooden chair with ropes.


    Not long after Luo An knocked down the white man on the road, a group of SWAT members rushed to the scene and, together with Winslow, surrounded the white man.


    ?Looking at the dark circle of gun muzzles around him, the white man finally chose to give up resistance and allowed Winslow to handcuff him and take him away.


    ??Considering that Chenelle and Mona were still at the home of prison guard Danny, Roan asked Winslow to take the white man and drive there for the interrogation.


    During this period, Luo An also did not forget to tidy up the somewhat scattered bandage on his ankle, wipe the dust off the crutch, and put it under his arm again.


    ������x2


    ??In the room, seeing Luo An leaning on a cane, looking like his left foot was injured and unable to move, Winslow''s eyelids twitched with a strange expression on his face, and finally he took a deep breath and selectively ignored it.


    The white man who was tied to the chair had his mouth twitching, veins bulging on his forehead, and when his throat rolled, he wanted to curse, but in the end he thought of something, and suppressed his words of greeting while his face flushed.


    Not long after, Mona opened the door and walked into the room. She glanced at the white man on the chair mountain, walked up to Luo An, handed him a notebook, and whispered:


    ������x2


    Winslow was surprised when he heard this. Mona was also very surprised, but she quickly reacted and frowned slightly:


    ��Are you from the federal government?��


    ?One of them is wearing the same prison uniform as prison guard Danny, and the other is wearing a standard prison uniform.


    ?Time passed by, and the white man cursed a few times in a low voice, then raised his head and said with his eyes closed:


    "only this."


    Otherwise, it would have been impossible for a white man to make such a request.


    ??The white man ignored Mona. He stared straight at Luo An. Luo An yawned, waved his hands and said:


    ��Requests and dreams are two different things. We are all adults, so be realistic when you speak, okay?��


    Luo An poured himself a glass of water and said quietly:


    ������xN


    The room became quiet for a moment.


    ??Luo An slowly opened it. In addition to the sentences written down by Veranith when communicating with the prison guard Danny, there were also two photos of two white men inside.


    Luo An was not in a hurry, and looked at the white man quietly, taking a sip of the water in the cup from time to time. When the white man saw this, the expression on his face suddenly became uncertain.


    "any request?"


    ??The white man said solemnly:


    ��I want to join your special investigation team.��


    ��Leader Greenwood, I��m not kidding you.��


    The white man frowned:


    Luo An looked calm:


    ��How about it, why don��t you tell me yet?��


    ??The white man pondered for a few seconds, took a deep breath, looked up at Luo An, and said in a solemn voice:


    ��Leader Greenwood, I can tell you everything I know, but I have a request.��


    ��I didn��t tell you any jokes either.��


    There was no information such as the names of the two people on the photo. Luo An glanced at it briefly before closing the note and returning it to Mona for the time being. Then he looked at the white man and asked with a smile:


    ?This notebook is the one that Roan ordered Chenelle and Winslow to search for at the location mentioned by Veranith.


    ��I have two identities. The first one is Handley, an NGA agent.��


    NGA, the federal National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Luo An has had contact with agents of this department in the past, the female reporter Louise who has a father who is the deputy minister of defense.


    ??And Luo An himself also has the identity of [Federal National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)-Secret Agent], with the number 65061. (Chapter 611)


    ?Winslow and Mona frowned when they heard the white man��s words. Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and then asked:


    ��What is your second identity?��


    ��My second identity is Dick Lawrence.��


    ??The white man looked at Luo An with a complicated expression and said:


    ��Is a CIA agent.��


    Winslow was stunned for a moment, then covered his head with helplessness:


    "I knew it."


    ?Mona��s face instantly became serious:


    ��Federal law stipulates that your CIA��s area of ??activity is outside the federation, and you are not allowed to carry out activities in the country!��


    Dick Lawrence didn��t say anything. Roan reached out and patted Mona��s shoulder gently and said with a smile:


    "You heard it too, this guy is the CIA. When did the CIA people talk about the rules?" "Damn it."


    ??Mona glared at Dick Lawrence fiercely, stepped aside and stopped talking.


    ?Luo An chuckled, walked up to Dick Lawrence, and then asked:


    ��So, why did you kill Danny the prison guard��s mother this time?��


    ��I don��t know, I��m just here to perform this task.��


    Dick Lawrence shook his head and said that he was just a knife and was only responsible for executing orders.


    ?In addition, his first target is actually the prison guard Danny, and he is already prepared to secretly kill him when the prison guard Danny returns home.


    ??Unexpectedly, there was turmoil in the prison, and prison guard Danny was among them.


    With desperation, Dick Lawrence chose to temporarily abandon the first target and instead carried out the task of killing the second target, which was to kill the mother of Danny the prison guard.


    Hearing this, Winslow was keenly aware of a problem:


    ��The turmoil in the prison was not caused by your CIA?��


    "I have no idea."


    Dick Lawrence shook his head again and said:


    "Or, I''m not sure. I''m only responsible for completing the tasks of Danny, the prison guard, and other things have nothing to do with me."


    Winslow wanted to continue asking, but Luo An raised his hand to interrupt him, and then asked:


    ��Who is your superior?��


    ��I don��t know, we communicate by phone, but the other party always takes the initiative to contact me.


    ?After I left the CIA training school, I was assigned to the NGA (Federal National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) as an agent. "


    Dick Lawrence smiled bitterly and said:


    "That''s why I said before that I hope to join your special investigation team, Leader Greenwood... The life of this kind of double-faced agent is very difficult."


    ? ? A few years before Dick Lawrence joined the NGA, the CIA never contacted him, which made him think that he had been abandoned, so he started a normal life of marrying a wife and having children.


    But not long after his child was born, the CIA approached him and asked him to kill someone.


    Dick Lawrence subconsciously wanted to refuse at first. Then he contacted his CIA superiors and revealed the identity information of his wife and children, and said he would receive a reward of $300,000 for completing the mission.


    With his wife and children on the left and three hundred thousand dollars on the right, Dick Lawrence realized at this time that he actually had no choice at all.


    After listening to Dick Lawrence''s description, Winslow and Mona looked very unhappy.


    ?? They knew that the CIA often acted without restraint, but they did not expect that it would be so unscrupulous in the federal government.


    Luo An pondered for a moment and asked:


    ��Besides yourself, do you know anyone else who is like you?��


    "have no idea."


    ��How many times have you carried out similar missions over the years?��


    ��Fourteen times, including this time it��s fifteen times.��


    Roan then asked some questions. After Dick Lawrence finished answering, he thought for a few seconds, then picked up his crutch and smiled:


    ��Dick Lawrence, you have a good name.��


    ??Seeing Luo An��s actions, Dick Lawrence��s expression changed drastically and he quickly shouted:


    "Leader Greenwood, you..."


    �O


    With a heavy blow, Dick Lawrence instantly turned his eyes and fainted.


    Winslow glanced at him and asked:


    ��Luo An, what should we do next?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 765： The carrier of Verenis poisoning

    Chapter 765: The carrier of Veranith��s poisoning


    ��First of all, call Mr. Clement. This CIA operation seriously crossed the line.��


    Roan held up the crutches, and under Winslow''s speechless gaze, he returned to his weak and feeble appearance again, and said:


    ��In addition, Dick Lawrence just said that he used a disposable mobile phone to call his superiors not long ago.


    ?Mona, see if you can find the mysterious superior through the number of the burner phone or the signal base station. "


    ?Mona nodded:


    "let me try."


    Luo An touched his chin and then analyzed:


    ��We can now basically conclude that there is some connection between the murder of ��Blue Eyes Roy�� and the prison riots.


    The specific connection is not yet clear. Lacey is investigating and it will take time.


    ??Michelle also needs time to sort out the information on the nuclear laboratories owned by the Illinois Nuclear Power Company.


    ??Other than these two things, it is still not clear who poisoned Verenis.


    Winslow, go call Chenelle and let''s investigate this situation together. "


    "no problem!"


    "Right."


    Luo An nodded. The Federation is different from the other side of the ocean. Even if they go out to perform tasks, unless it is an extremely special situation, the food must be fresh and hot.


    The next day, Roan led Chenelle and Winslow to the warehouse where the five agents of Verenis were located.


    At the end, Winslow frowned and said:


    ??However, the food that Agent Susan buys every day is not from the same store, and the food delivery person is different every time..."


    At this time, the five agents had been taken away by Mr. Clement to "receive training". In fact, they were under short-term observation just in case.


    Winslow looked at the record and said solemnly:


    ??If the food is poisoned again, the risk of her exposure will be too high. "


    ��10 hours before Verenis was poisoned����


    Luo An didn��t feel much about this. Firstly, the special investigation team had money and could afford this little food. Secondly, this was a common custom in the Federation, and it was more appropriate to follow the locals.


    Chenelle took Agent Susan��s notes, read them carefully for a moment, and said:


    ��The food consumed by their investigation team included leftover mineral water and milk from the previous day; breakfast was sandwiches and toast; lunch was pizza; dinner included roast beef and a large burger.��


    ��Agent Susan used temporary phone calls unrelated to the mission to purchase these foods, and asked the food delivery person to deliver them to an uninhabited house in the distance, and then she went to pick them up.


    During this period, apart from Agent Susan, the only people who had access to the food were the delivery boys of various stores.


    ����


    ��Common food.��


    ??Luo An and the other three went to the abandoned warehouse to investigate the items and food used by Veranith and others during the investigation of the case.


    ��To be honest, I do have some suspicions that Agent Susan was the one who poisoned me.��


    Because of this, every time the special investigation team goes out to perform tasks, there is a huge expense in terms of food.


    Roan said something to Cheniel, then patted Winslow on the shoulder and said with a smile:


    ��Agent Susan is a smart person. She is responsible for food and belongs to the first echelon of suspects.


    ��Check the information of the three food delivery people that day.��


    In Agent Susan��s introduction, all the food during their investigation was purchased on the same day.


    Winslow nodded. He originally wanted to think about whether it was possible that Agent Susan was layering layers of layers. He knew that he was the biggest suspect, so he deliberately poisoned and disguised himself a layer more, so that others would suspect him first and then remove him. Suspicious, mistakenly thought it wasn''t her.


    ??But considering that Luo An had already completed the interrogation of the five agents before, and that Luo An''s "micro-expression analysis" had almost no mistakes, Winslow finally chose to believe Luo An.


    ?At this moment, Cheniel walked over, frowning slightly and said:


    ��Luo An, I checked. The three delivery boys are still at work and their whereabouts are normal. There is nothing wrong.��


    Winslow frowned when he heard this. He thought for a few seconds and finally looked at Luo An. He was really not good at analysis, so it would be best to follow Luo An''s arrangements. Luo An was silent for a few seconds, suddenly thought of something, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Which coffee does Verenice drink?��


    ��Coffee? What coffee?��


    Chenelle picked up the notebook and looked at it, puzzled:


    ��It doesn��t say that Veranith bought coffee.��


    ��No, Verenice must have had coffee.��


    ?Luo An shook his head repeatedly. He knew Veranith''s habits very well. Veranith was a workaholic most of the time and could hardly live without coffee.


    ?? Once Luo An casually complained that the coffee in the office was not delicious. The next day, Veranith changed all the coffee in her office to a brand that Luo An thought was delicious.


    There was no need to tell Chenelle and Winslow about this latter matter, so Roan took out his cell phone and called Veranith.


    ?Learning that Luo An suspected that the carrier of his poisoning was coffee, Veranith was also stunned for a moment. She really didn''t expect this. She always thought that the food she bought during the mission was poisoned.


    ��I did take a lot of coffee, the ones in my office, and you also drank it, Luo An.��


    Veranith thought carefully as she spoke, and her face instantly darkened mid-sentence:


    ��Luo An, I remembered something.


    Before carrying out this secret investigation mission, I saw that there was not much coffee left in the office, and I was worried that it would take a long time to carry out the mission, so I bought some temporarily.


    I put the newly bought coffee together with the old unfinished coffee.


    In the process of carrying out the investigation mission, I drank up the old coffee first and then drank the new coffee.


    The day after drinking those new coffees, I was tested positive for polonium 210 poisoning! "


    At this point, a chill surged from Veranith''s lumbar spine to the back of her head. She felt the hairs all over her body stand on end, and her face became very ugly.


    ?The act of buying new coffee beans was her impromptu move. If the mastermind behind the scenes really poisoned her through this method, it means that the mastermind behind the scenes knew her living habits very well, and also knew exactly that she wanted to secretly carry out this investigation mission!


    All in all, the man behind the scenes knows Veranith very well!


    "damn it!"


    ?Thinking of this, Veranith''s pupils shrank suddenly, she realized another thing, and she hurriedly lowered her voice and said:


    ��Luo An! If the people behind me know me so well, then they probably know you very well too!��


    "I see."


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, and he quickly thought of this matter.


    A series of possibilities flashed through his mind, and Luo An whispered:


    ��Sir, I will contact Mr. Clement immediately and ask him to send more people to protect you.��


    Mr. Clement only sent five detectives to guard outside Veranith''s ward. Under the current circumstances, Roan felt that this number should be at least doubled.


    ��Don��t worry about this, I��ll make a call.��


    Compared with herself, Veranith was more worried about Roan now and said in a deep voice:


    ��You must be more careful during the investigation! And your agents, be sure to keep an eye on them!��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    ?? After a brief discussion, Luo An hung up the phone and looked at Chenille and Winslow, briefly explained the situation, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Our next focus is to investigate who has come into contact with the new coffee purchased by Veranith.��


    Winslow nodded with a serious look on his face. Chenelle opened her mouth to say something. Roan frowned slightly when she saw this:


    ��Chanelle, have you discovered anything?��


    ��I want to say����


    Chenier was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and whispered:


    ��I think I know who the person who delivered the coffee to Veranith is.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 766： Poisoner

    Chapter 766 The Poisoner


    "you know?"


    Winslow was very surprised by Cheniel''s words. Luo Jing watched Cheniel silently and said nothing. Cheniel took a deep breath and told everything she knew:


    ��In the security area on the first floor of the headquarters building, there is Agent Lilani. She usually delivers things to the female agents in the headquarters building.��


    On the first floor of the FBI headquarters building in Washington, there is a security inspection area that occupies a large area. Anyone who enters or exits needs to go through inspection, mainly as a precaution to prevent dangerous people from entering the building carrying explosives.


    ??If someone orders takeout, the food delivery staff cannot enter the building. They can only place the food at the security checkpoint on the first floor, and then call the ordering staff to ask them to come downstairs to pick it up.


    ? Sometimes people are too busy to go downstairs due to their busy schedules, so Agent Lilani will take the initiative to help pick up and deliver meals to earn a little extra money.


    Chenelle frowned and continued:


    ��In the past, I once saw the coffee beans ordered by Veranith at the security checkpoint on the first floor. At that time, Veranith didn��t have time, so Agent Leilani helped deliver them upstairs.��


    ��Agent Leilani?��


    Luo An was a little confused when he heard this name. He had never seen this woman in his memory, so he asked:


    ??The same goes for the coffee beans that Veranith purchased. She is a senior customer of that brand, and she can have the brand pack the coffee beans and deliver them proactively just by making a phone call.


    Luo An didn��t say anything more. He took out his mobile phone and called Michelle. After briefly explaining the situation, he asked:


    ?For example, when buying clothes, ordinary people will go to the store to select and buy; wealthy people will contact the store attendants and let them choose suitable clothes for them and deliver them to their doorsteps according to their own conditions.


    "I am not sure."


    ?Michelle said in a relaxed tone:


    "give me some more time."


    Agent Leilani''s performance in all aspects was actually average, but because of her father''s incident, the minister transferred her to the security checkpoint to allow her to live a stable life. "


    Those with more money will directly ask the fashion designers to design and modify the new clothes according to their own ideas, and then make the finished clothes and send them to them.


    ?Luo An continued:


    ��OK.��


    "clear."


    ��Which department is this agent from?��


    ?After thinking for a moment, Luo An looked at Cheniel and asked:


    Winslow did know some information about Agent Leilani, and introduced him in a low voice:


    ��Her father was a very good agent in a certain department of our FBI headquarters in Washington. Later, in a certain case, he saved the child of a minister, but he himself was shot by a criminal.


    ��You think there��s something wrong with this Agent Leilani?��


    Chenelle spread her hands. Her relationship with Agent Lilani was pretty good, but she really had no way of knowing the situation in this regard, and said:


    ��But she does have suspicions.��


    ��Okay, there��s one more thing.��


    The lives of wealthy people in the Federation and the lives of people at the bottom are completely different.


    ��He is one of the agents in the security area.��


    ?Luo An suddenly nodded. The sentence "The Federation does not care about favors" is pure nonsense. The word favor is very obvious in Federation society. University introduction letters are one of the external manifestations.


    ��In addition to Agent Leilani who delivers coffee to Veranith in the building, and the person who delivers coffee beans from the store to the FBI headquarters in Washington, you also remember to check the other party��s information.��


    ��Michelle, can you find the surveillance video of Agent Leilani that day?��


    ?Michelle simply accepted the order, and Roan led Winslow and Chenelle out of here and drove back to New York City.


    As soon as Winslow drove into New York City, Michelle called:


    ��Luo An, I checked it out.��


    "How to say?"


    ��The surveillance video showed that Agent Lilani did nothing suspicious, except that she usually delivered coffee beans to Veranith��s office.�� Michelle on the other end of the phone said in a serious tone:


    ��As for the service staff responsible for delivering coffee beans to your door, I found her information. Her name is Ophelia Johnson. She is 26 years old and has been working in the company for more than 4 years.


    ?After delivering the coffee beans to Veranith, Ophelia Johnson asked for leave that afternoon. The reason for the application was that one of her relatives was injured and she needed to check on the situation and help. "


    Hearing this, Winslow, who was driving, and Chenelle, who was sitting in the back seat, both had their faces darkened. Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Where is this Ophelia now?��


    ?Michelle said in a deep voice:


    ��Has lost contact.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and then asked:


    ��Where was she missing? Is there any surveillance video or other clues?��


    There were several keyboard typing sounds on the other end of the phone, and Michelle said apologetically:


    ��Sorry, I can only find out that Ophelia Johnson has a rental house. The surveillance near the rental house may not be connected to the Internet, so I can��t find out the specific situation.��


    ��It��s okay, where is the rental house?��


    ��Just south of Washington, D.C.!��


    ����


    At about 11 noon, Winslow drove his car to the location Michelle said.


    Chenelle stepped out of the car and took out a pistol. Luo An held up his crutches as the two looked at each other speechlessly, and walked into the building where the rental house was located with them.


    The room Ophelia Johnson rented was on the third floor. Winslow and Chenelle stood around the door, pretending to be community members and shouting a few times.


    No one responded. When Winslow saw Luo An nodding, he directly kicked towards the door.


    Bang!


    There was a muffled sound, and the door was kicked open by Winslow in an instant. Chenelle rushed into the room to check quickly, and then found a huge silkworm chrysalis under the bed in the bedroom.


    Looking at the humanoid object tightly wrapped in plastic sheeting in front of them, Winslow and Chenelle''s expressions suddenly became very ugly. Luo An reached out and patted Winslow on the shoulder and said:


    ��Contact the trace inspection department to come here to handle the scene.��


    "clear."


    ? Winslow suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, walked aside and started to make a phone call. Luo An carefully checked the room for a while and found a laptop in the cabinet.


    After turning on the phone, they found that a password was required to enter. Roan and Chenelle were not good at this, so they called Mona.


    "Simple."


    ?Mona��s tone was relaxed and calm, and she asked Luo An to insert the USB flash drive he carried into the computer and leave the rest to her.


    The USB flash drive came from Mona, and it contained the facial recognition system she made, as well as some weird little things.


    ??Mona gave it to Luo An and asked him to carry it with him in order to help Luo An solve computer problems when she was not with Luo An.


    ?Mona quickly hacked into Ophelia Johnson''s laptop through remote control of the system in the USB flash drive.


    ��Luo An, I found a clue.��


    On the other end of the phone, the sound of keyboard typing and Mona''s voice sounded at the same time. In the rental room, under the gaze of Luo An and the other three, the laptop was remotely controlled by Mona to jump to a chat page:


    ��This is the chat record between Ophelia Johnson and a certain guy during her lifetime. This guy should be the murderer who poisoned Ophelia Johnson and then killed her to silence her.��


    ?The chat record on the computer is not complicated. It is that someone is willing to pay $80,000 to hire Ophelia Johnson to "add some ingredients" when delivering coffee beans.


    ?Ophelia Johnson was finally persuaded by the other party and agreed on a meeting place without surveillance.


    Looking at the text on the computer, Luo An picked up the phone and asked:


    ��Mona, can you find out who this person is?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 767： smooth, suspected, murderer, killer

    Chapter 767: Success, Suspicion, Murderer, Killer


    ??In the rental house, Winslow walked up to Roan and Chenelle, shook his cell phone, and said:


    ��The Trace Inspection Section has set off and will be here in thirty minutes.��


    Roan didn��t say anything. Chenier looked at the chat history on the computer with a bad expression:


    ��People who dare to use the Internet to buy murders are generally very cautious. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to find out the person who contacted Ophelia Johnson and asked her to poison..."


    ??? Before Chenier could finish speaking, Mona��s voice came from the phone:


    ��No, I have found the clues.��


    ?)


    ? Chenier was stunned for a moment, and Luo An was also a little surprised:


    "So fast?"


    "It''s not that I''m quick, it should be said that the other party didn''t hide himself at all."


    Mona on the other end of the phone also had a strange tone. She tapped the keyboard a few times, remotely controlled the pages of Ophelia Johnson''s notebook, brought up a black page and showed it to Luo An and the others, and introduced:


    Winslow despised the murderer''s operation of taking $500,000 himself and only giving Ophelia Johnson $80,000. This middleman''s operation was too shady.


    ?? Chenier felt a little speechless. She said before that people who buy murders online are very cautious and the information is difficult to investigate. She didn''t expect to be slapped in the face by the murderer''s tricks so quickly.


    ������x3


    The rental house was very quiet for a while.


    ��That��s right!��


    ?Less than five minutes later, Mona��s slightly excited voice rang on her phone:


    ��I found it! The employer��s IP address is at the headquarters of Illinois Nuclear Power Company!


    The murderer got half of the deposit and spent $80,000 to persuade Ophelia Johnson to poison the coffee beans. After Veranith was poisoned, the murderer killed Ophelia Johnson and silenced her with $500,000. The dollar escaped.


    ? Luo An��s question came to an end, and the crackling sound of keyboard typing sounded again on the phone.


    After Mona finished speaking, Cheniel��s eyes instantly became extremely bright and she said:


    "That''s right! Veranith has always suspected that the nuclear laboratory owned by the Illinois Nuclear Power Company is manufacturing and smuggling polonium-210!"


    Luo An also didn��t expect that this clue investigation would go so smoothly. He looked at the chat history on his computer and asked:


    Winslow also clapped his hands and said excitedly:


    ��This manager Ulysses may be the person in charge of this line!


    ? He ??discovered that Veranith was investigating and was afraid that his affairs would be exposed, so he decided to take the first step and poison Veranith with polonium-210! "


    ?The case investigation has gradually become clearer here. The chat records on the computer show that there is an employee hiding behind the scenes who knows information about Veranith''s living habits and the lack of coffee beans.


    ��Who is this person who hired the murderer?��


    As for the coffee bean plan, it is also information provided by the employer. "


    "Um��"


    ?Chats between the murderer and the employer showed that the employer gave the murderer $500,000 to poison Veranith with polonium-210.


    ��That makes perfect sense!��


    In addition, the account number used by the employer is a person��s birthday in reverse order!


    ��Manager of Illinois Nuclear Energy Corporation Headquarters?!��


    ?This hired man spent $500,000 to find the murderer, and proactively provided information about polonium-210 and Veranes so that he could poison Veranes.


    ��The murderer who contacted Ophelia Johnson for poisoning also used the same account to contact another person. I will temporarily call the new person a hired person.


    ?This man''s name is Ulysses, one of the managers at the headquarters of the Illinois Nuclear Power Company! "


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone also nodded repeatedly, agreeing very much with Winslow and Chenelle''s analysis, and then said:


    ��Luo An, let��s go arrest someone!��


    ?The room was quiet, and Luo An did not answer immediately.


    He put his chin on his hand and looked at the chat history on the computer. He narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly:


    ��No, we need to find the murderer of Ophelia Johnson first.��


    ��What?�� Luo An��s words were like a pot of cold water poured on the heads of the three of them. Chenelle frowned and said nothing. Winslow asked directly in confusion:


    ��Let��s capture Manager Ulysses first and interrogate him. Don��t we know who the murderer he hired is?��


    ??Mona on the other end of the phone agreed with Winslow''s words, but she moved to Luo An''s position to think about it, discovered some problems, and asked:


    ��Luo An, are you worried that there is insufficient evidence at the moment to arrest the person; or are you worried that Ulysses has hired a lawyer and refused to admit, causing interrogation difficulties?��


    Information shows that Manager Ulysses has worked for the Illinois Nuclear Power Company for more than 20 years. Although he has not become a rich man with assets of over 100 million, he can still afford to drive a luxury car and live in a large villa. He is indeed not short of money. look.


    ??Once such a person hires a lawyer, it will be very difficult to deal with him.


    ��No, I��m thinking about something else.��


    Luo An slowly shook his head, pointed at the computer page in front of him, and said:


    ��Don��t you think it went too smoothly?��


    ��It went too well?��


    Winslow looked confused, Mona on the other end of the phone frowned slightly, and Chenelle, who had been thinking for a long time, looked solemn and asked:


    ��Luo An, do you think this is a trap?��


    ��It��s not really a trap, I just feel like someone is deliberately guiding me.��


    ?Luo An rubbed his temples, frowned and analyzed:


    ��What Chenelle said before is correct. People who buy murder on the Internet are generally very cautious. Using virtual IPs and false numbers are basic operations.


    ?It is really rare for someone like this murderer to use the same account. "


    Winslow thought for a while and asked:


    ��Is it possible that the other party is not very good at computers? He is not aware of this..."


    ? Winslow himself couldn''t say anything anymore when it came to what happened next. A killer who was hired to kill someone had no sense of caution at all... If that were the case, there was no way the other party could survive to this day.


    ��And that manager Ulysses.��


    ?Chenelle, who was standing aside, nodded slowly, agreed with Luo An��s point of view, and said:


    ��The account number used to buy and kill people is actually the reverse number of my birthday. It��s so directional, as if it��s been arranged by someone.��


    The room fell silent again. After a few seconds, Mona asked:


    ��Roan, are you saying that Manager Ulysses was not the murderer, but that he was wrongly accused?��


    ��Whether he was wrongly accused or not, we have no way of determining now.��


    ??Luo An''s eyes flashed with thoughtfulness, and through the window he saw the agents from the Trace Inspection Section arriving downstairs. He smiled and said:


    ��But what is certain is that Manager Ulysses is definitely related to polonium 210, otherwise this matter would not be related to him.


    ?Chenelle, send a message to Michelle and ask her to pay more attention to Manager Ulysses and investigate his situation.


    ?Mona, see if you can use the Internet to find out the identity of the murderer of Ophelia Johnson.


    ?? Winslow, Chenelle and I were conducting on-the-spot investigation around the crime scene, trying to find out the circumstances of the murderer. "


    "clear."


    "no problem!"


    After Luo An finished speaking, Winslow, Chenelle and Mona responded in unison and took the order.


    Within a few minutes, several agents from the Trace Inspection Section walked into the room and began to process the scene. Luo An and the other three began to go downstairs to investigate on the spot as they had said before.


    ??While checking surveillance, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang, and when he connected it, he found that it was Lacey on the other side.


    ??? Before Roan could ask Lacey what was going on, Chenelle''s cell phone rang next to her. After the call was answered, Michelle shouted:


    ��Chenelle, tell Luo An quickly that I have found the murderer of Ophelia Johnson! That guy is still committing the crime!��

 Chapter 768： lake house

    Chapter 768 Lake House


    At two o''clock in the afternoon, in the south of Washington, D.C., near an ordinary community.


    ?Because she was in an anxious mood, Michelle shouted loudly on the phone. Not only Chenille who answered the phone, but also Roan and Winslow next to her heard her words.


    ?Chenelle quickly handed the phone to Luo An. Luo An picked up his cell phone and asked Lacey to wait. Then he took Chenille and the phone and asked:


    ��Michelle, who did you say was the murderer of Ophelia Johnson? Where is he?��


    ��Sorry, I don��t know the murderer��s name yet.��


    ?Michelle quickly explained and replied:


    ��I just checked the situation of Manager Ulysses as you requested.


    ? Discovered that part of his job was to contact and supervise some nuclear laboratories owned by the Illinois Nuclear Power Company.


    ?These nuclear laboratories have their own directors. One of them, a guy named Etwang Jones, is in charge of a nuclear laboratory in New Jersey. The management of the laboratory is also very chaotic.


    ??I looked up this Etwang-Jones. His wife said that he went to work today, but he called the laboratory on the way to work and said that he had something to do and would go later today, but did not tell his wife.


    ??I then investigated the surveillance of Etwang-Jones''s phone call and found that he was driving halfway when someone suddenly stopped him and squeezed into his car.


    ??Luo An got into the passenger seat of the car with a cane, and Winslow immediately started the car and rushed to the road in the distance.


    The most important piece of information I discovered is that the day before the prison riot, someone had interrogated the leader of one group of prisoners.


    ?However, I went to the hospital and found a seriously injured prisoner. I persuaded him to provide me with the information behind the riot on the condition that he and his daughter would have dinner together.


    ��Lacie, what did you find out here?��


    ��Tell us where the car was last seen.��


    ��It��s really interesting.��


    ?However, there are no relevant records in the prison for this interrogation, and we can��t find out who the guy who interrogated the prisoner is. It��s interesting, right? "


    Michelle finished her answer and then said:


    "clear!"


    ��The prison riot incident has been handed over to the relevant prison guard system for processing. I, the FBI, don��t have an investigation order, so I can��t get in at all.


    ��In addition, Etwang-Jones was suddenly kidnapped and lost contact. I am worried...��


    ?Chenelle and Winslow nodded in unison, turned around and ran to the car not far away.


    I have recorded all the grievances and grievances in this book. It is very long and complicated, so I will not go into details here.


    ?After the man got into the car, Etwang-Jones called to say that he had something to do. In the end, the car drove in another direction and disappeared! "


    Roan said something to the phone, then threw the phone to Chenille and said:


    ��Get ready to drive, check weapons, let��s go to that area to check the situation!��


    Lacey on the other end of the phone had a serious tone and said:


    ��Sorry, the surveillance didn��t catch it.��


    ?According to the prisoner, he was not sure about the specific cause of the riot, but the two parties that started the fight were two factions that had always had a grudge in the prison.


    After Michelle finished speaking, Winslow and Chenie suddenly looked solemn, and Roan quickly asked:


    ��Can the surveillance camera clearly see the face of the guy who got in the car?��


    Luo An followed closely and walked in the direction of the car. As he walked, he picked up his mobile phone and asked:


    ��Well, I didn��t find out as many things as Michelle.��


    Looking at the rapidly retreating scenery, Luo An��s eyes moved slightly and he said:


    ��Lacie, if you continue to investigate information about prison riots, you can focus on the prison guards.


    I will tell Mr. Clement about this and ask him to find a way to help investigate. "


    ��OK.��


    After receiving Luo An��s order, Lacey smiled and agreed.


    After briefly describing these things to Mr. Clement, Luo An hung up the phone and began to close his eyes and meditate.


    Illinois Nuclear Power Company, manager Ulysses, and nuclear laboratory director Etwang Jones. Prison inmate, prison guard, mysterious interrogator.


    ??CIA killer Dick Lawrence who tried to kill Danny''s prison guard''s mother.


    ?Ophelia Johnson, the woman who poisoned Verenice, her murderer, and the man behind the murderer.


    One thing slowly emerged in his mind, and one thread emerged one after another. He tried to connect them but couldn''t, making Luo An frown and feel a little headache.


    In this emergency situation, Winslow also used his drag racing skills. He was not as fast as Luo An, but he also shortened a lot of time.


    ?The car sped back to New York State and soon arrived at the place where the director of the nuclear laboratory, Etwang Jones, finally disappeared.


    A fork in the road appeared in front of the three of them. Winslow and Chenelle looked at each other and both looked at Luo An.


    ?Luo An found the map and looked at it quickly, and said:


    ��Winslow, you go to the left. Chenelle, you go to the right with me.


    ?Pay attention to safety on the road, contact Etwang-Jones immediately if you find his car, and call for support immediately if you feel something is wrong. "


    ? Winslow''s strength is second only to Luo An. He walks alone and can still run away if he is not defeated. The safety factor is higher than Chenier walking alone.


    "no problem!"


    ?Winslow nodded, opened the door and stepped out of the car. Chenelle followed and moved to the driver''s seat, started the car and headed towards the intersection on the right.


    ?This area is a wooded area in western New York State, right in the middle of New York City and New Jersey.


    Because the scenery is nice and suitable for vacation, the road in the woods is relatively smooth. Luo An chose the direction suitable for murder and extermination. Chenier drove forward according to the instructions, and the car soon drove into the depths of the woods.


    ?? After rounding a curve, Chenier saw the dirt road not far away, and her eyes suddenly lit up:


    ��There are fresh tire tracks on the road ahead!��


    ��Stop the car.��


    Luo An sat in the passenger seat and looked at the map in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and said:


    ��There is a lake not far away from the road, and there will most likely be a wooden house. We walked over quietly.��


    "clear."


    After parking the car and hiding it to the side, Chenelle took out a pistol and stepped out of the car, subconsciously looking back behind her.


    ?Seeing Luo An walking with a cane, Chenie''s eyelids immediately jumped. She took a deep breath to suppress the speechlessness in her heart, and began to walk towards the depths of the dirt road.


    They didn''t go far, and at a corner, they found the car of the person in charge, Etwang Jones, covered by camouflage cloth.


    ??Roan gave Chenelle a look, and Chenelle nodded, took out her cell phone and sent a message to Winslow. Winslow quickly replied, saying that he would be there in five minutes.


    The two continued to move forward cautiously, and soon walked to the lake and found that there was indeed a small wooden house not far away, and there were occasional shadows of people inside.


    "The lake house...the guy who kidnapped Etwang Jones was very brave."


    With the "emotional perception" in his mind, he determined that there were two people in the cabin, and the corners of Luo An''s mouth suddenly raised slightly.


    ??Taken out a pistol with his right hand, put up a crutch with his left arm, and returned to his frail appearance. Luo An waved his hand and whispered:


    ��Chenielle, please stay safe.��


    "clear."


    Erasing the black line on her forehead, Chenelle took the pistol and began to move slowly toward the left side of the cabin.


    The two of them moved to both sides of the cabin silently. At the same time, the conversation in the room also reached their ears. A man laughed and said:


    ��I will keep this secret of yours for the rest of my life!��

 Chapter 769： Pick up soap and eat western food

    Chapter 769 Picking up soap and eating Western food


    ��Fu-kYou!��


    In the cabin by the lake, a man was yelling and swearing, while the other man was not angry at all and even laughed loudly.


    Outside the cabin, Luo An and Cheniel had arrived at their designated locations. Luo An raised his hand to count down, preparing to rush into the room together when the countdown was over.


    At this moment, the laughter in the room suddenly stopped, and a man shouted:


    "who?!"


    When Luo An heard this, the number on his finger jumped from three to one. He opened the door of the wooden house, raised his gun and shouted:


    ��FBI! Put down your weapons!��


    ?On the other side of the wooden house, Cheniel also suddenly jumped into the room from the window, raised her gun and shouted:


    ��FBI! Put your hands behind your head!��


    ??This wooden house is not big. There is a bed in the deepest part, and some long wooden tables beside the wall. On the wooden chair in the middle of the house, a white man who looks fifty years old is tightly tied with ropes.


    With a muffled sound, the man with the broken eyebrow felt a terrifying force coming from the cane, and was knocked backwards before he could react!


    ??The man with the broken eyebrow has made up his mind to kick the male FBI in front of him first, and then use him as a hostage to threaten the female FBI to drop her weapons.


    The man with the broken eyebrows turned pale at first, but when he saw that the FBI agent in front of him was actually using a cane to catch him, the tension in his heart disappeared instantly. He took out a smoke bomb and threw it at his feet, and then he rushed towards Luo An with a arrogant look on his face. passed.


    The man with the broken eyebrow fell heavily and smashed the long table next to the wall into wooden fragments all over the floor.


    ??Etwang-Jones, who was tied to the chair, was horrified. While struggling wildly, he shouted loudly, telling Luo An to be careful of the man with the severed eyebrow.


    In front of the tied white man, there is another white man who looks to be in his thirties and has a broken right eyebrow.


    The pain in his body was ignored subconsciously. He struggled to stand up, his eyes widening and his face full of shock:


    ??Under the shocked gaze of the man with broken eyebrows, Luo An''s injured left leg calmly took a step back to avoid his attack, and then suddenly picked up his crutch and hit the man with broken eyebrows!


    �O


    Facing the ferocious face of the man with the severed eyebrow in front of him, Luo An grinned with a sunny smile.


    As for the female FBI who put down her weapon... the man with the broken eyebrows licked his lips, and a hint of evil flashed in his eyes.


    ������x3


    ??The room was quiet. The man with the eyebrows was feeling angry and his chest was heaving. Etwang-Jones on the chair had his mouth wide open with shock on his face. The corner of Chenelle''s mouth in the back twitched and she raised her pistol again and shouted:


    ��Hurry up and put your head in your hands and lie on the ground!��


    "careful!"


    As for whether he would be counterattacked, the man with the broken eyebrows didn''t even think about it. He had already caught the pistol, and the opponent was still half disabled. There was no way he would lose the crushing round!


    ��Mr. Agent, you shouldn��t be so dedicated!��


    ??The man with the broken eyebrow quickly moved in front of Luo An, grabbed the muzzle of the gun and lifted it up.


    ��Is your leg okay?��


    "Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."


    Luo An chuckled:


    ��When did I say there was something wrong with my leg?��


    Roan and Chenelle suddenly burst into the room, startling the two of them. The bound Etwang-Jones was happy at first, and then his eyes were full of panic.


    ?Hearing Etwang-Jones''s shouting, the smile on the man''s face grew stronger. He kicked Luo An''s injured left leg and said with a ferocious smile:


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ??The man with the broken eyebrows, whose face turned green due to anger, cursed loudly and yelled at Luo An. Before the smoke bomb dissipated, he jumped directly out of the window.


    ?The man with the broken eyebrow is not stupid. Running away after being beaten is the most useful experience he has accumulated over the years. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is better than being caught.


    boom!


    boom! boom!


    ?Three gunshots rang out, Chenier''s shot missed, and Luo An''s two shots hit the Broken Eyebrow Man''s calf accurately.


    ??The man with the broken eyebrow screamed and fell face first on the grass outside the wooden house.


    ��Chenelle, go and cuff the man and bring him back.��


    ��OK.�� Luo An chuckled and put away the pistol. Chenelle went out the window and took out the handcuffs, locking the man with the eyebrows tightly.


    ��Thank you so much, Mr. FBI.��


    On the chair, Etwang-Jones suppressed the shock and panic in his heart, with an expression of surprise on his face. He thanked Roan and Chenelle repeatedly and said a lot of words of praise for their bravery.


    ? Luo An waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that these are trivial matters and not worth mentioning. Keep praising them and don��t stop.


    ����


    Etwang-Jones, who was tied to the chair, twitched his mouth. When he saw Chenelle pulling Etwang-Jones back to the cabin, he struggled slightly and said:


    ��Mr. FBI, can you help me untie the rope first?��


    "Not urgent."


    Luo An smiled, turned around and glanced at the man with the eyebrows who was staring at him, wishing he could eat him, and said:


    ��Mr. Etwang, could you please tell me why this not-so-smart kidnapper kidnapped you?��


    Etwang-Jones'' throat rolled and he swallowed. Just as he was about to speak, Luo An added:


    ��Also, he just said ��he will eat your lifelong secret.�� What is this secret?��


    ������x2


    ??The Broken Eyebrow Man and Etwang-Jones were both silent when they heard this. Chenelle had not paid much attention to this aspect just now, but when she saw this scene, she immediately realized that there was something wrong with it.


    ��You two, I need to remind you.��


    ?Seeing that neither of them spoke, Luo An casually grabbed a chair and sat down. Under the ugly eyes of the man with the broken eyebrow, he threw the crutch aside and said with a smile:


    ��Federal law provides that if useful clues are provided, the penalty may be appropriately reduced.


    This useful clue not only includes yourself, but also others. "


    ��YouMother-Fu-ker!��


    ?Seeing Luo An looking at him with a smile, the man with the broken eyebrows finally couldn''t help it. After swearing a few words, he pointed at Etwang Jones on the chair and said:


    ��FBI agent, this guy...��


    ��Henderson!��


    As soon as the man with the broken eyebrow started to speak, Etwang-Jones on the chair shouted loudly, and then said viciously:


    ��Don��t forget, that����


    Before Etwang-Jones finished speaking, Roan reached out and patted his shoulder to interrupt him, laughing and saying:


    ��Mr. Etwang-Jones, it is also a felony to obstruct a federal agent.


    ??In addition, Henderson did not tell the truth, risked everything to go to jail to collect soap, and stayed outside with beautiful cars and beautiful women eating Western food. Isn''t it inappropriate to be so selfish? "


    "you��"


    ?Etwang-Jones was startled, and suddenly turned his head to look at Luo An. After a few seconds of silence, he glanced at Henderson on the ground and let out a long sigh.


    ?Henderson, whose wound was simply bandaged by Chenier, ignored Etwang-Jones��s gaze and said coldly:


    ��FBI Agent, I accuse Etwang Jones of hiring a murderer to poison and kill someone, and the person who killed him was your superior, Veranith.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Chenier��s brows moved slightly, Luo An looked calm, and then asked:


    ��How exactly did he do it?��


    ?Henderson briefly described the process, which was similar to Luo An��s previous judgment.


    ? ? Etwang-Jones was the man behind the scenes, the one who placed the order, and Henderson was the middleman who spent $80,000 to hire Ophelia Johnson to poison her and later killed her.


    The reason why Henderson confessed these things is very simple. If he did not admit these things and chose to bear everything on his own, then he would be sent to prison for the attack on Luo An just now.


    ?? Once in prison, the wealthy Etwang-Jones has many ways to kill Henderson, but he does not dare to bet that because he takes everything on himself, Etwang-Jones will be very grateful to himself.


    In this case, Henderson''s best option is to explain everything and drag Etwang-Jones into the water.


    After Henderson finished speaking, Luo An looked at Etwang Jones and smiled:


    "It''s your turn, Mr. Etwang-Jones. Tell me why you poisoned Verenith?"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 770： The truth behind Veraniths poisoning

    Chapter 770 The truth about Veranith��s poisoning


    At 5:30 in the afternoon, there is a lakeside house in the woods sandwiched between New York and New Jersey.


    Winslow had also arrived here at this time. After Henderson told everything he knew, Roan asked Winslow to **** him into the car. At this time, only Roan, Chenier and Etwang were in the lake house. -Jones Three.


    Sitting on a chair in the center of the room, Etwang-Jones saw clearly that Luo An��s eyes were quite complex:


    ��You are great, Captain Greenwood.��


    "Thank you for the compliment."


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    ��Can you answer my question? Why did you poison Verenith?��


    Etwang-Jones took a deep breath and replied helplessly:


    ��Because I want revenge, I want to be punished, and I want to live.��


    ? Etwang-Jones said that the polonium-210 that poisoned Veranith did come from his nuclear laboratory.


    ?His nuclear laboratory has been producing polonium-210 for many years. He asked Etwang-Jones to produce polonium-210, and the person who supervised him was his superior, Ulysses, the manager of the Illinois Nuclear Power Company headquarters.


    ��Ulysses has connections with people in federal government agencies.��


    Now that he had decided to tell everything, Etwang-Jones simply leaned back, changed to a more comfortable position, and said:


    He didn''t know how those polonium-210 would be used later. Veranith''s poisoning had nothing to do with him, so his final punishment would not be too serious.


    ??As long as the investigation is suspended due to Verenis'' poisoning and other FBI investigations begin, they will inevitably follow the online chat records and find the guy who hired the killer, the manager Ulysses.


    Etwang-Jones said coldly:


    ��So I decided to strike first.��


    ?After Verenis is poisoned, Etwang-Jones will use some means to attract her to come to his laboratory for investigation.


    During the investigation of Verenis, Etwang-Jones will offer to help Verenis examine the bodies of the agents in the investigation team, and then "accidentally" discover that Verenis has been poisoned.


    A year ago, a certain student of Etwang-Jones who he liked very much accidentally learned about the incident. As a result, he was quickly secretly killed by a killer sent by his manager Ulysses. This made Etwang-Jones feel deep in his heart. Chilling, he felt that that might be his final fate.


    A few days ago, manager Ulysses contacted Etwang-Jones and told him that people from the FBI had begun investigating polonium-210 and gave him information about the investigator Veranis, asking him to suspend his work these days.


    After Etwang-Jones finished his brief description, Chenelle frowned, and Roan thought for a few seconds and asked:


    ?In Etwang-Jones''s plan, he used some means to find the killer Henderson and asked him to poison Veranith.


    ?On the one hand, this can reduce his suspicion. On the other hand, he has already fabricated online chat records with Henderson.


    Etwang-Jones said that he was actually not willing to make polonium-210. He wanted to spend more time on other nuclear-related experiments, but he was forced to do it due to the threat of Ulysses.


    ?Poisoning was not Etwang-Jones''s purpose. His real purpose was to blame everything on manager Ulysses.


    When the killer Henderson disappeared, all the evidence pointed to the manager Ulysses. Etwang Jones came forward to testify that he had produced polonium-210 under the threat of Ulysses over the years. Ulysses Si will eventually go to jail.


    As for Etwang-Jones himself, he would say at the time that he was only forced to make polonium-210.


    ��The person investigating polonium-210 is Verenis. Ulysses heard this news from people in the federal government and then told me.��


    ��What happened to Henderson kidnapping you today?��


    "damn it."


    Hearing Luo An��s question, Etwang-Jones��s face suddenly darkened:


    ��This dishonest guy wants to take advantage of others!�� After the poisoning was successful, Etwang-Jones was ready to think of a way to attract Veranith to his laboratory for investigation.


    As a result, Etwang-Jones never expected that Henderson would contact him again:


    ��Etwang Jones, you don��t want the FBI to know that you hired a murderer to poison Verenis, do you?��


    Henderson began to use this matter to blackmail Etwang-Jones. Etwang-Jones initially used words to prevaricate the other party because he discovered that the plan had an accident and Veranith was actually detected to be poisoned in other nuclear laboratories. , which made Etwang-Jones very anxious and had to think of ways to modify the plan.


    ?On the other side, Henderson was becoming more and more impatient. He felt that Etwang-Jones didn''t take him seriously at all, so he tied Etwang-Jones directly today and discussed the matter with him face to face.


    This is also the reason why Etwang Jones just praised Luo An. Henderson did not trust Etwang Jones. Luo An was keenly aware of this and gave the two of them just a few simple words. Creates an unsolvable prisoner''s dilemma.


    ��Hire a killer to poison Verenis, pretend to accidentally discover her poisoning, clear his own suspicion, and create false evidence to make the FBI mistakenly think that Ulysses is the mastermind behind the scenes...��


    ?Chenelle counted Etwang-Jones��s plan on her fingers, frowned and asked:


    ��You��ve put so much effort into this, why don��t you just bribe the killer and let him kill the manager Ulysses?��


    ��As I said just now, there is someone behind Ulysses.��


    Etwang-Jones glanced at Chenille and explained:


    ��If I directly find someone to kill Ulysses, the person behind him will soon find another person to take his place, and I will still continue to make polonium-210.


    Not only that, the people behind it will definitely investigate the cause of Ulysses�� death. Once the truth is found out, I will be finished. "


    Everything Etwang-Jones did was to convince the FBI and the people behind Ulysses that everything was Ulysses'' plan, and that it was his plan that went wrong that caused all of this to happen. Etwang-Jones, however He is an implicated pawn.


    With everyone''s attention drawn to Ulysses, Etwang-Jones quietly escaped the incident, went to jail for a short time, then escaped from the nuclear laboratory, and finally lived and lived the rest of his life.


    Cheniel frowned and fell silent. Luo An thought for a moment and then asked:


    ��You said there is someone behind Ulysses. Who is that person?��


    ��Unclear.��


    ?Etwang-Jones spread his hands, indicating that he didn��t know much about this matter, and then added:


    "But the manager Ulysses, and the top executive of Illinois Nuclear Power Company, President and CEO Leighton Perelman, who made a big fuss on newspapers and television a few days ago and was eventually shot in the head by a killer from a distance, the two of them The relationship between them is quite close.��


    ����


    ?Chenelle looked surprised, Roan''s eyelids twitched, and after questioning for a moment, he asked Chenelle to **** Etwang Jones out of the room and to the car.


    ?Hendering the killer Henderson and the director of the nuclear laboratory Etwang-Jones to the agents secretly sent by Mr. Clement, Luo An and the three of them had a simple dinner together.


    He raised his head and drank the white water in the cup. Winslow wiped his mouth and asked:


    ��Should we arrest the manager Ulysses next?��


    ?Chenelle, who was still eating on the side, nodded in agreement. After swallowing the food, she continued:


    ��In addition, I feel that the person behind Ulysses may be the CIA.��


    ��The probability is very high.��


    ??Luo An took a big bite of steak and was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang. After pressing the answer button, Clement said in a solemn voice:


    ��Luo An, if it��s an emergency, you should quickly lead a team to catch someone!��

    Chapter 771 CIA, arrest people


    "Arrests?"


    Luo An swallowed the food, drank some water, and asked:


    ��Catch who?��


    ��A CIA.��


    Mr. Clement said seriously:


    ��The situation is special and it��s inconvenient to explain it in detail on the phone. Let��s arrest the person first and then explain!��


    ��Yes, sir.��


    ??Luo An gave Winslow a look to ask him to pay, and then asked:


    ��Sir, where is the other party now?��


    ��I��ll send you the location later.��


    Mr Clement said:


    Not far behind this car, several police cars with flashing red and blue lights followed closely, and the buzzing formed a beautiful scenery in the style of GTA.


    ??Waterbury is an industrial city in western Connecticut, about 30 kilometers northwest of New York. It is one of the well-known industrial cities in the Commonwealth.


    ??Mona sent the photo to Cheniel''s computer through the computer. When Luo An saw the scene of two people looking at each other and laughing in the photo, he raised his eyebrows and quickly thought of something.


    "no problem!"


    ?The car went all the way north and soon left New York City and entered Connecticut.


    In the Chevrolet car, a white man held the steering wheel tightly, frowning but saying nothing.


    Close the file bag, Luo An took out the pistol to inspect the equipment, and said:


    ??On a main traffic line in the south of the city, a black Chevrolet sedan was speeding.


    ��Yes, sir.��


    ����


    A few minutes later, Mona said in a serious tone:


    "But I found a photo from a charity gala. In the photo, Mr. Matthew was chatting very much with the dead president and CEO of Illinois Nuclear Power Company, Leighton Perelman. happy."


    After a brief exchange of words, Luo An hung up the phone and led Chenelle and Winslow out of the restaurant quickly. Not long after they got into the car, an agent drove up and handed an unopened document bag to Luo An. install.


    Looking at the CIA named Matthew in the file bag, Luo An narrowed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then took out his mobile phone and called Mona, asking her to investigate the other party''s relevant situation.


    ��Sorry, I didn��t find much about this Matthew.��


    "damn it."


    ��In addition, the other party may have helpers around them, so be careful when arresting them.��


    "clear."


    Chenelle took out her mobile phone and started to make a call. Roan then said to her mobile phone:


    ��Mona, remember to monitor remotely and tell me immediately if something goes wrong.��


    ��Chenille, contact the local SWAT team and ask them to send people to the designated location to stop it.��


    Opening the document bag to obtain the CIA''s current location, Winslow immediately started the car and rushed into the distance.


    In the passenger seat, a middle-aged white man wearing a suit, who was a bit fat and had a big belly looked very ugly when he saw the police cars following him through the rearview mirror.


    After swearing a few words in a low voice, Matthew looked at the white man driving the car and asked:


    ��Earl, how far is it?��


    ��It��s still five minutes�� drive from the private airport.��


    ?The white man named Earl answered, and then added:


    ��The premise is that everything goes smoothly.��


    ��It will definitely go well, don��t say those bad words!��


    Matthew glared at Earl fiercely, looked at the police cars with red and blue lights flashing in the rearview mirror, and said coldly:


    ��I have prepared the plane at the private airport and will set off as soon as we arrive there!��


    Earl frowned slightly, drove his car past a passerby, and asked:


    ��Where are we going next?��


    An imperceptible coldness flashed across Matthew''s eyes:


    ��You��ll know it when the plane takes off.��


    After hearing this, Earl stopped asking and continued to drive the car without saying a word. Matthew took out his mobile phone, flipped through the pages, found a few phone numbers, and started editing the information.������������������������������������������������������������������������


    ��!


    At this moment, the Chevrolet car suddenly turned left. Under the action of inertia, Matthew''s head hit the car window hard, and the phone fell from his hand without holding it firmly.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Matthew, whose head hurt from being knocked, opened his mouth to curse, quickly raised his head and looked forward, and asked:


    ��Earl, what��s going on?��


    Earl''s face was very solemn:


    ��Someone is catching up!��


    Behind the Chevrolet sedan, less than two parking spaces away, a black SUV suddenly appeared in Matthew and Earl''s eyes.


    ?The person driving the SUV was naturally Luo An, the person in the passenger seat became Chenelle, and Winslow moved into the back seat.


    ?Hum, boom, boom��


    ?Feeling the SUV approaching him quickly, Earl in the Chevrolet car was very surprised, but now was not the time to communicate. He directly stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The car roared, and the speed increased again and rushed forward.


    ��Sit tight, everyone.��


    In the black SUV, Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stepped on the accelerator to the deepest level, and at the same time said to Chenier in the co-pilot:


    ��I will move to the left side of the target vehicle later and be prepared to attack.��


    "clear."


    ? Chenier had a stern look on her face, turned on the pistol safety and got ready. Seeing this, Luo An drove the SUV over a passerby again and moved to the left side of the Chevrolet sedan.


    ?The two cars were quickly speeding along the road parallel to each other. When Chenille and Winslow saw this, they raised their pistols and prepared to attack without hesitation.


    Before the two men could pull the trigger, a black object suddenly flew from the Chevrolet car towards the SUV.


    ��!��


    ��Grenade!��


    ??The second she saw the grenade, Chenier''s pupils shrank suddenly, Winslow''s expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously reached out to shoot it away.


    Roan reacted faster than Chenier and Winslow. He suddenly continued to twist the steering wheel to the left, and at the same time accelerated the SUV forward again, causing the grenade to hit the door and fall to the ground.


    Boom��


    ?The next second, orange-red fire suddenly exploded behind the SUV, and the rear window of the SUV was blown into glass fragments and scattered all over the floor.


    ��Shit!��


    Winslow cursed loudly, Chenelle was still frightened and looked very ugly. The Chevrolet took this opportunity to suddenly turn right to distance itself, and drove onto another road.


    Chenier frowned when she saw this, turned around and said:


    ��Luo An?��


    ��It��s okay, there��s no rush.��


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly flashed a map of the area in his mind. He turned the steering wheel again and drove the SUV toward another road on the right.


    Bang!


    ?One minute later, at a private airport in the south of Waterbury City, the guardrail on the edge of a certain area was directly hit by a car. The Chevrolet sedan sped along the runway towards a small plane in the distance.


    ��Well done!��


    In the Chevrolet car, Matthew looked at the approaching small plane with excitement on his face, and his hands shook with excitement.


    Earl, who was driving, had no smile on his face. He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the SUV catching up again like a phantom.


    ��The haunting guy.��


    Matthew saw the SUV in the rearview mirror, and a flash of anger suddenly flashed in his eyes. While calling the pilot, he asked him to start the plane and prepare to take off. At the same time, he bent down and took out five grenades from under the seat and threw them one by one toward the rear.


    ?Winslow and Chenelle saw this scene and their expressions changed greatly, and they shouted loudly:


    ��Luo An! Be careful!��


    ��Sit tight.��


    Boom! boom!


    Boom! boom! boom!


    ?Five grenades exploded one after another, and the fire was soaring into the sky and smoke was filled. Matthew looked at the scene in the rearview mirror, and the corners of his mouth began to rise crazily. Earl, who was driving, also breathed a sigh of relief.


    ?The next second, the smoke curled forward, and an SUV with all four windows shattered and dents in the door and front rushed out against the background of flames and continued to chase the Chevrolet sedan!


    Matthew��s face was shocked when he saw this scene, and Earl��s eyes were also filled with astonishment. At the same time, Luo An in the SUV calmly took out his mobile phone and said:


    ��The target has entered the encirclement, start taking action!��

 Chapter 772： Chase inside a private airport

    Chapter 772 The pursuit at the private airport


    ?8:30 pm, a private airport in the south of Waterbury City.


    A small plane was parked at the end of the runway. The pilot had already started the plane after receiving the text message. As long as Matthew and others boarded the plane, it could take off immediately.


    On the other side of the runway, a Chevrolet sedan was speeding toward the small plane. Not far behind it was smoke and dust from a grenade explosion.


    ? A black SUV rushed out of the smoke and dust under the shocked eyes of Matthew and Earl. The exterior of the car was covered with scars, but the three people inside the car were basically unharmed.


    ��Fu-k! How did this guy do it?��


    Matthew''s face was livid, and he reached under the seat to grab the grenade, but he missed it. Only then did he realize that he had thrown all the grenades just now.


    Matthew stretched out his hand to Earl, stared at the SUV in the rearview mirror, and said:


    ��Give me your grenade!��


    ��Forget about the grenades for now!��


    Earl slapped Matthew''s hand away, and shouted with a solemn face:


    ��Someone rushed into the airport again, we are surrounded!��


    Earl didn''t say anything. He took a deep breath and answered, firmly holding the steering wheel of the car.


    "clear."


    ��What?��


    ��Damn cousin-raised guy!��


    ��Fu-k! Just drive if I tell you to!��


    ??The pilot on the other side of the phone was very surprised:


    ?At the same time, in the SUV behind, Chenille and Winslow also noticed the small plane that started to taxi slowly. They were a little surprised when they saw it:


    ��What does Matthew want to do?��


    ��What?��


    They are approaching the small plane at high speed. Once these off-road vehicles surround the small plane, they will completely lose the chance to leave here today.


    "clear."


    Matthew''s face changed drastically, and while he was cursing, a solution quickly flashed through his mind. So he picked up his mobile phone and called the pilot, and ordered loudly:


    ��Start the plane immediately! Start taxiing!��


    Matthew��s face was ferocious, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted loudly:


    ��Don��t close the hatch, I��ll find a way to jump in later!��


    ��He wanted to jump out of the car and board the plane like in the movies.��


    ?Looking at the small plane that began to advance slowly in the distance, Matthew''s eyes flashed with madness. He reached out and patted Earl''s thigh, and said in a condensed voice:


    ��Wait for the brakes to flick so that the Chevrolet and the plane move in the same direction and parallel, let��s jump on the plane and get out of here together!��


    Matthew quickly turned his head and followed Earl''s direction, and saw several black off-road vehicles suddenly appearing behind the small plane.


    ��But you haven��t gotten on the plane yet����


    The two of them immediately understood what Luo An was planning to do, and quickly moved their positions and looked for the rifle.


    ??The pilot quickly agreed. After hanging up the phone, he cursed a few words such as "crazy, stupid*" in a low voice, but still started the small plane and began to taxi.


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking from his perspective and instantly guessed what the other person was thinking, so he said:


    ��Winslow, you drive. Chenelle, bring me the AR-15.��


    ��OK, OK!��


    ??Luo An changed his seat to the co-pilot, and Chenier handed him the AR-15 she found. Luo An quickly installed the magnifier, put the gun on his shoulder, aimed forward, and whispered:


    ��Winslow, drive more slowly.��


    ��Understood.�� Winslow nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and began to control the SUV to move forward steadily and in a straight line.


    ����


    Boom!


    ??The small plane was traveling in the opposite direction of the Chevrolet sedan and SUV, and when it was about to reach the side of the taxiing small plane, the Chevrolet sedan made a beautiful flick on the runway.


    ?It changed direction and began to move in the same direction as the taxiing small plane, moving in the opposite direction of the SUV, and the distance between the two cars quickly closed.


    Matthew, who was already prepared, patted Earl on the shoulder, opened the car window, and prepared to climb up the roof of the car and jump into the small plane.


    boom!


    ?The next second, as soon as Matthew stretched out his head, a bullet flew from a distance and directly shattered the rearview mirror of the Chevrolet. The mechanical fragments instantly hit Matthew in the face.


    ��Fu-k!��


    Matthew, who was hit in the face and was sore, quickly retracted his head. As he cursed, his face turned green and his heart was in turmoil.


    A person''s head is bigger than a car''s rearview mirror. The other party shot the rearview mirror but did not kill him with one shot. This is a naked showoff and threat of force!


    ?However, the plane was taxiing faster and faster, and the distance between the Chevrolet sedan and the SUV was also rapidly approaching. Matthew had no time to change his plan.


    ?So he took a deep breath, got out of the car window again and climbed to the roof of the car. Matthew was betting that the people in the SUV didn''t want to shoot him!


    boom!


    Matthew had just turned over and climbed onto the roof of the Chevrolet car when another bullet flew and accurately hit his arm. The severe pain made Matthew grin his teeth, but his eyes were filled with light.


    The bet is right, the other party wants to capture him alive, not kill him directly!


    ?So Matthew slowly arched his body, lying on the roof of the car like a cheetah, aiming at the door of the small plane and preparing to jump in!


    In the SUV, Winslow frowned when he saw this scene. Chenille was even more sweaty when she saw Luo An''s "two shots empty". However, she did not speak to Luo An and just patted Winslow''s face hard. Arm, whispered:


    ��Drive more steadily!��


    Winslow was speechless. Just as he was about to speak, gunfire rang out again from the passenger side!


    boom! boom! boom!


    The moment Matthew stood up slightly and was about to jump, Luo An fired three times, and all three bullets accurately hit his thigh!


    ??The severe pain made Matthew unable to kneel down for an instant. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Matthew patted the roof of the Chevrolet hard and was about to shout to Earl to drive more slowly.


    Before Matthew could shout, Earl suddenly stepped on the brakes and twisted the steering wheel. Under the influence of the huge inertia, Matthew, who was already injured, had no time to react and was thrown directly away!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Matthew fell heavily to the ground and rolled more than ten times under the influence of inertia. The gunshot wound left a long **** mark on the ground.


    ??The severe pain radiating from all parts of his body caused cold sweat to break out on Matthew''s forehead, but he didn''t care about it at all now. He stared at the Chevrolet that was speeding into the distance. The expression on his face was out of control, and he yelled angrily:


    ��Earl!!��


    ?In the Chevrolet sedan, Earl, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled disdainfully.


    He knew Matthew too well. The other party had no intention of letting him board the plane. Even if he did, Matthew would not leave him alive.


    In addition, the person the FBI wants to arrest is Matthew, not Earl.


    ? In line with the good quality of flying when disaster strikes, Earl simply took this opportunity to throw Matthew out to attract the attention of the FBI, and left on the plane himself.


    ??The small plane was taxiing faster and faster, and Earl didn''t have much time left. He took out a gun and jammed the throttle, opened the door and prepared to jump out and grab the plane.


    As soon as Earl opened the car door, he suddenly saw two figures jumping out of the SUV not far ahead. They fell to the ground and rolled several times.


    ? And that SUV, without any intention of changing its course, crashed straight into the Chevrolet sedan!


    ��Is this a lunatic?!��


    ??Seeing Luo An driving the SUV and preparing to crash into the car, Earl''s face changed and he was shocked, and he quickly stood up and prepared to jump out.


    ?But the SUV was moving much faster than Earl had imagined. As soon as he turned around, the two cars suddenly collided!


    Boom��


    Boom!


    There was a deafening sound of car collision. The rear buttocks of the Chevrolet sedan and SUV traveling at high speed flew up at this moment. The car in front was dented and turned into a big crater. All kinds of debris were scattered everywhere!

 Chapter 773： Roan Shark

    Chapter 773 Luo An Shark


    ��Fu-k! Fu-k! Fu-k!��


    Not far behind where the two cars collided, Earl, whose cheeks, arms, thighs, etc. were covered with scratches, looked ferocious and cursed crazily.


    ?The second before the two cars collided, Earl was not completely ready, but in order not to be pinched between the two cars, he had to jump out quickly.


    As expected, he grabbed the air and fell directly to the ground. It rolled several times under the influence of inertia. The small plane flew away quickly under Earl''s hateful and anxious eyes.


    After cursing a few words, Earl quickly put his hands on the ground and prepared to get up.


    ??At this time, the two cars crashed into pieces at high speed, and orange-red flames rose. The guy driving the SUV just now could not survive.


    At the moment, it is impossible for the small plane to catch up with its legs. There is a group of SWAT teams chasing behind it in the distance. In order not to be caught, the best choice now is to run to the fence on the west side before they catch up. Leave over the wall from there.


    Earl thought about his next action plan in an instant, got up and was about to run away.


    As soon as he turned around, a black gun muzzle was pressed against Earl''s forehead. Luo An spoke in a kind tone:


    ��Good evening, sir, who likes to drive and chase planes at night, please cooperate with me and put your hands behind your head, okay?��


    "How can it be!"


    After the two people jumped out of the car, Luo An immediately accelerated the speed of the car and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. At the same time, he took out a bottle of [Hemostatic Potion] and a bottle of [Featherfall Potion] and poured them into his stomach. Then one second before the two cars collided, , jumped out of the car and left.


    ?Especially when he saw that Luo An��s arms and thighs not only had no wounds, but even his clothes were neat, and did not look like he had rolled on the ground many times after jumping out of the car, Earl��s face was filled with disbelief:


    ?So Roan immediately reduced the speed of the car and ordered Winslow and Chenelle to jump out of the car so that they could minimize their injuries and go to arrest Matthew.


    ?Luo An raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sunny smile:


    ��Surprise.��


    A major feature of [Featherfall Potion] is that it will make Luo An himself lighter, jump higher, and fall slower.


    But now is not the time to dwell on this matter. Matthew in the distance has been caught by Winslow and Chenier, and is pressed to the ground. The SWAT team members are also rushing here quickly. The primary goal now is to hurry up. leave!


    ��How did you do it? Are you a ghost?��


    ?The next second, Earl''s face froze suddenly, because his right hand on his lower back was empty, and his pistol was not there! It''s gone!


    "when?!"


    �O


    Not only did Luo An not fall to the ground and roll around like Matthew and Earl, but he landed lightly on the ground, straightened the wrinkles on his clothes a little, and then walked towards Earl with the gun. The whole process was calm and leisurely, that is, Calm and elegant.


    Earl''s forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat. Before he could react, Luo An hit him hard in the abdomen with a whip kick!


    ??When Earl threw Matthew out of the car while Matthew wasn''t paying attention, Luo An realized that Earl planned to use Matthew as bait and escape alone.


    ����


    ??At the moment he jumped out of the SUV, Luo An did move forward uncontrollably for a certain distance under the force of inertia, but [Featherfall Potion] allowed Luo An to grasp his balance.


    Earl felt a chill starting from his lower back and running down his spine to the back of his head. The hairs all over his body stood up, and the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost.


    ?Looking at Roan with a smile in front of him, Earl took a breath, his eyes widened, and he couldn''t figure out how he did it.


    A chill flashed across Earl''s eyes, and he suddenly reached out to grab Luo An''s pistol, and raised the muzzle of the gun with force. At the same time, he touched his hand to his waist. There was a pistol there, and he was ready to shoot all the bullets in the magazine into Luo An. Ann''s body!


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?At the moment when the muzzle of the gun was forced to be raised, Luo An pulled the trigger, causing three bullets to fly away into the distance. Earl''s face lit up when he saw this.


    There was a muffled sound of human muscles colliding, and a terrifying force came from the abdomen. Earl''s eyes bulged and he instantly retreated and fell. He subconsciously got up to fight back, but found that his throat was dry and he spit out a mouthful of blood.


    ?There is not much he can do now, and Earl has only one idea in his mind, which is to knock down Luo An and **** the gun from him into his own hand.


    ??Without even wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Earl suppressed the pain and roared, and suddenly rushed towards Luo An. The smile on Luoan''s face grew wider, he bent down to avoid Earl''s fist, and hit him in the face with an uppercut.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Chest! arm! Back! thigh! Earl became a sparring partner, punching, kicking, and kneeling all kinds of attacks one after another. In less than a minute, Luo An beat Earl until he couldn''t open his eyes. He vomited blood and fell to the ground. the airstrip.


    ?When a group of SWAT team members arrived here, Earl had completely fainted and was unconscious.


    Under the shock, shock and admiration of all the SWAT team members, Luo An simply adjusted his clothes, put away his pistol, and looked at Winslow and Chenier handcuffing Matthew not far away. He took out his mobile phone and called Mona called:


    ��Contact Mr. Clement and tell him that the target person has been captured and prepare the interrogation room.��


    "no problem."


    ?Mona agreed immediately and continued:


    ��In addition, Michelle just led the SWAT team and successfully arrested the manager of the Illinois Nuclear Power Company.


    ??This is what Etwang Jones, the head of the nuclear laboratory, said about his superior, Ulysses.


    The arrest went smoothly and Ulysses did not put up much resistance, but he quickly hired a lawyer. "


    ��Well done.��


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction, thought for a moment, and said:


    ��Then let Mr. Clement prepare a few more interrogation rooms.


    ?Bring the Ulysses manager, the director of the nuclear laboratory, Etwang Jones, and the killer Henderson.


    By the way, Dick Lawrence, the CIA assassin with the interesting name who was the first to catch Danny''s prison guard mother and tried to kill him, also took him there. "


    The name Dick is very interesting in the context of the federal word, and it always makes people unconsciously think of other aspects.


    "no problem."


    ??Mona agreed, communicated briefly, and Luo An took the initiative to hang up the phone. At this time, Matthew was also escorted over by Winslow and Chenelle.


    ?Seeing the bruised and swollen Earl on the ground, Matthew, who had just been betrayed, suddenly laughed and spat an unknown object into the other person''s face.


    ?Luo An waved his hand, and the SWAT team members immediately pulled Earl away. Luo An looked at Matthew, who had a lot of scratches on his face, and asked with a smile:


    ��Good evening, Mr. CIA, what is your relationship with Leighton Perelman, President and CEO of Illinois Nuclear Power Corporation?��


    ��It��s a very simple relationship between good friends who use each other.��


    Matthew looked Luo An up and down and said:


    ��I know you, the best investigative team leader at the FBI headquarters in Washington, Roan Greenwood.


    Have you ever felt that the FBI department is not suitable for you? A pond cannot support sharks, it will only suffocate them to death.


    Outside the Federation is the sea, and that��s where sharks should go! Only there can you show off your excellence! "


    Winslow and Chenelle��s expressions instantly darkened, and Luo An raised his eyebrows:


    ��Thank you for the compliment, what you said makes sense.��


    Matthew looked happy and was about to continue talking when Luo An took Winslow''s place and escorted him towards the car in the distance:


    ��But the sea is too deep and I��m afraid I won��t be able to grasp it. Let��s go back and have a chat first. You can introduce me to the map and strategy.��


    ����


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 774： The truth about two other things

    Chapter 774 The truth about the other two things


    The next morning, an interrogation room at the FBI headquarters in Washington.


    On the chair behind the interrogation table, Matthew was sitting on it wearing yesterday''s clothes, his wrists were tightly locked with handcuffs, his head lowered and silent.


    ��Good morning, Mr. Matthew.��


    Suddenly, the door to the interrogation room was opened. Mona walked to the chair with her laptop in her arms. Luo An walked into the room with two cups of coffee. He handed one cup to Matthew and kept one cup for himself. He smiled and said:


    ��I had a small meeting with the chief this morning, so I kept you waiting for a long time.��


    Matthew picked up the coffee, took a sip, and asked:


    ��Which officer?��


    ��It doesn��t matter which officer you are, let��s talk about your situation.��


    Roan did not say Mr. Clement��s name. He picked up the coffee and took a sip. Then he took a folder from Mona��s hand and read aloud:


    ��Matthew Moses, biological male, 47 years old, appears to be a manager of a lobbying company, but is actually a senior executive of the CIA����


    Mr. Clement did not tell Luo An the process and specific content of the meeting. He only said that after the meeting, CIA senior officials handed the document to the FBI.


    Obviously, some conditions were agreed upon between the CIA��s top brass, the Justice Department��s top brass, and the FBI��s top brass, and director Matthew Mothers was the victim who was pushed out.


    ?After a moment of silence, Matthew drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, raised his head and stared at Luo An, and said:


    ��During my stay in the temporary prison, I want a cell where I am alone, a quieter one.


    ??Mr. Clement called Luo An to his office for a meeting this morning. As soon as Luo An entered the room, Mr. Clement handed him the document and then briefly explained what happened.


    There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but Luo An didn''t notice. He closed the folder and said with a smile:


    ��Mr. Matthew, can you tell me what happened now?��


    ??The other party stated that Matthew Moses was the main person in charge of the CIA''s dispatch of stay-at-home agents within the federal territory. These matters were his private actions, and the CIA''s senior officials were not very clear about this in the past.


    Director Robert immediately went to the Department of Justice with Mr. Clement. Some senior leaders of the Department of Justice were extremely angry when they learned about the incident and immediately contacted the top brass of the CIA.


    Roan and others had already figured out the general situation about the process and cause of Veranith''s poisoning when they arrested Etwang Jones, the head of the nuclear laboratory.


    Someone at the top of the CIA held a meeting with senior officials from the Department of Justice and FBI Director Robert on this matter for more than three hours.


    Director Robert was furious because the CIA''s behavior of secretly dispatching stay-at-home agents within the federal territory and secretly carrying out killing missions had seriously crossed the line.


    As for a formal prison, I would also like a cell with a window where the sun can be seen.


    ? After Luo An led the team to capture the CIA killer of Dick Lawrence, Mr. Clement told the FBI Director Robert.


    There are a lot of records in the folder, Luo An just picked out some important information.


    Promise me and I will tell you everything. "


    ��As expected of Team Leader Greenwood.��


    Roan was not surprised by this. After Matthew Moses listened to Roan reading the document, there was no expression of surprise or anger on his face. He just sneered and said:


    ?Now that the matter has been exposed, the CIA''s top brass will definitely not know that any crime has been committed, so they chose to hand over all Matthew Moses'' information to the FBI and allow the FBI to arrest him.


    But some details have not yet been clarified, such as how the manager Ulysses knew that the investigator was Veranith, where his source of information was, what is the relationship between Matthew and the Illinois Nuclear Power Company, etc. These mysteries remain exist.


    Matthew Moses understood his current situation very well and had no intention of resisting.


    ??He tried to leave by plane before, not with the intention of breaking away from or betraying the CIA, but mainly to escape to other countries outside the Federation and avoid being hunted by the FBI.


    Matthew Moses knows the methods of the CIA very well. He took everything on himself and went to jail. He suffered but survived, and nothing happened to his family. Once Yan Yu stubbornly refuses to cooperate, his final result will probably become quite colorful.


    Roan agreed to Matthew��s small request. Seeing this, Matthew Moses did not continue to be a bluff and explained:


    ��I arranged for that blue-eyed killer to be assassinated in prison.


    The CIA agent who went to assassinate Danny the prison guard''s mother was also the one I sent.


    As for what you said about Verenis being poisoned, it has nothing to do with the prison riot, I don��t know. "


    Matthew Moses said that polonium-210 is a very good assassination material and is an out-and-out treasure for the CIA, so he got acquainted with the top executives of the Illinois Nuclear Power Company mainly to purchase polonium-210. .


    The top executive of Illinois Nuclear Power Company, President and CEO Leighton Perelman, was also willing to have a good relationship with the CIA, so he agreed to the matter and handed it over to the manager Ulysses. deal with.


    ? Manager Ulysses then arranged the matter to the head of the nuclear laboratory, Etwang Jones, who was on the front line and actually led the team to produce polonium 210.


    Some time ago, the matter of polonium-210 was known to the top figures in the federal government. Out of fear, the top figures asked the FBI to lead a team to investigate the matter.


    There is no airtight place at the top of the federal government, and Matthew Moses soon learned about this.


    ?So Matthew Moses sent people to assassinate the blue-eyed killer in prison, hoping to prevent the FBI from continuing to investigate.


    After all, according to some regulations, the federal territory is not within the scope of CIA activities, and secretly manufacturing and purchasing polonium-210 cannot be brought to the table.


    What''s more, the CIA is not clean in this regard. A lot of polonium-210 "accidentally" ended up on the black market because of money. This is how Blue-Eyed Roy and others bought it.


    On the other hand, Matthew Mothers plans to inform Illinois Nuclear Power Company executive Leighton Perelman, asking him to tell his staff to be quiet for a while in the near future and not to attract the attention of the FBI.


    As a result, some time ago, the Illinois Nuclear Power Company just broke out* leaked negative news, causing an uproar. Leighton Perelman himself was shot in the head by a killer from a long distance, and died in this incident.


    Matthew Moses had no choice but to break the rules and was forced to contact the manager Ulysses and tell him the information about Verenis.


    ??Mona paused slightly while typing, Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, he took a sip of coffee and said:


    ��That is to say, in order to prevent Veranith from investigating, you first sent people to kill ��Blue-Eyed Roy��, and then in order to erase the traces, you sent people to kill prison guard Danny.


    ??It turns out that CIA agent Dick Lawrence encountered a prison riot on the way and had to change his route to kill prison guard Danny''s mother, right? "


    ��That��s right.��


    Matthew Moses nodded his head, frowned and said:


    ��The prison riot was very unexpected. I didn��t expect this to happen at all.��


    ?Luo An then asked:


    ��You sent people to jail, who was the person who bribed them?��


    Matthew Moses mentioned a few names. Mona found the documents and compared them briefly, and found that they were all victims who died in the riot.


    ?Luo An glanced briefly and withdrew his gaze. He narrowed his eyes slightly and then asked:


    ��You just said that when you contacted the manager Ulysses, you told him that the person in charge of investigating the polonium-210 case was Veranith, and provided him with relevant information about Veranith... How did you know this?��


    Matthew Moses was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile:


    ��Are you sure you want to know?��

 Chapter 775： BOP

    Chapter 775 BOP


    ?Ten o''clock in the morning, FBI headquarters in Washington, an interrogation room.


    ��Are you sure you want to know?��


    After Matthew Moses finished speaking, the room suddenly became very quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.


    ??Mona stopped typing on the keyboard and looked at Matthew Moses�� brows furrowed. Luo An��s eyes flashed with a few unnoticeable gleams and he smiled:


    ��What am I unsure about? This is the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., and I am the leader of a special investigation team.��


    ��Yes, you are right.��


    Matthew Moses nodded in agreement, then leaned back on the chair and said with a smile:


    ��But I have a question, what kind of special investigation team leader are you?��


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, and before he could speak, Matthew Moses crossed his legs, stared at Luo An, and continued:


    ��In other words, what kind of Federation are you?��


    ����


    Luo An''s expression changed slightly. Before he could ask, a rough friction sound suddenly came from the other end of the phone. Then Lacey''s voice disappeared and was replaced by a mature middle-aged male voice. The other party said with a smile:


    Matthew Moses�� words made no sense, which made Mona feel confused and didn��t understand what this guy meant.


    Lacey on the other end of the phone spoke a little hastily and her tone was full of displeasure. She said:


    ��Luo An, I was put under house arrest by a group of guys, and they are looking for you.��


    ��It��s me, Lacey.��


    Roan glanced at Matthew Moses, stood up and walked out of the interrogation room. The moment the door closed, Chenelle quickly handed her mobile phone to Roan and whispered:


    ?According to the situation in other normal countries, this type of department can definitely be regarded as one of the top powerful institutions.


    ��House arrest?��


    ��This is Roan-Greenwood.��


    BOP, the full name of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, is a federal law enforcement agency under the federal Department of Justice. It is mainly responsible for the care, supervision and control of prisoners held in prisons.


    ??After all, privatized prisons are used to make money. If the BOP steps in and manages those prisoners in accordance with federal law, then how can prison managers and prison shareholders exploit prisoners...how can they make money.


    But the Federation is different. The Federation is a very magical country, leading the world in several versions, one of which is the privatization and listing of prisons.


    ??The reasons and background behind prison privatization are complex and difficult to elaborate on. All you need to know is that after this phenomenon occurred, the power of the BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) began to shrink significantly.


    ��Hello, Team Leader William.��


    ??Lacie has been investigating the situation behind the riot in the prison. When he heard Chenelle''s words, Luo An frowned slightly, took the phone and put it to his ear:


    ??The guy opposite who called himself William''s team leader didn''t say too much nonsense. He briefly exchanged greetings with Luo An and said bluntly:


    ��Chief Greenwood, is your investigation team currently investigating this prison riot case?��


    Since then, the power and influence of the BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) has become weaker and weaker, and many responsibilities have been gradually taken over by other departments. The remaining work content, in addition to the national prisons they are responsible for, is also the investigation of prison riots. etc., some tasks that other departments are unwilling to handle.


    ??While Luo An was dealing with the other party, he momentarily recalled the relevant information about the BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) in his mind.


    ??Countless thoughts flashed through Luo An''s mind instantly, and he understood the subtext of Matthew Moses'' words in the blink of an eye.


    ��Good morning, Team Leader Greenwood, please introduce yourself. I am Team Leader William from BOP.��


    ��It seems like something happened over there with Lacey.��


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door of the interrogation room. Chenelle stuck her head in and whispered:


    ��Luo An, there��s a situation.��


    ��Indeed.��


    Lacey was already under the control of the other party. Luo An didn��t bother to hide it and asked simply:


    "Any questions?"


    ��Prison riot cases have always been the responsibility of our BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons).��


    Team Leader William on the opposite side said directly: ��My team will investigate and handle this case. When the final result comes out, I will definitely tell Team Leader Greenwood as soon as possible that Agent Lacey��s work can end here. "


    ?Chenelle on the side suddenly turned very ugly when she heard this. Luo An raised his brows and said with a smile:


    ��Are you sure? Leader William?��


    ?There was a pause on the other end of the phone for a second, and William''s voice came again:


    "certainly!"


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An smiled, patted Cheniel on the shoulder to calm her down, and then said into the phone:


    ��Okay, let Agent Lacey come back.��


    ��Goodbye, Captain Greenwood.��


    ??Team leader William didn''t even say a word of greeting and hung up the phone directly.


    When Chenier saw this, her face looked a little anxious:


    ��Luo An, this case����


    ��There are many stories behind this case, and Team Leader William obviously hasn��t found them yet.��


    ??Luo An shook his head and smiled. The murder of Blue-Eyed Roy has now been investigated clearly. The main messenger behind it is Matthew Moses, and his true identity is a CIA.


    ??In the prison riot case, according to the information Lacey had previously investigated, the person behind it was also a very cautious and powerful guy.


    ??Team Leader William''s case-robbing behavior shows that he has not yet reached this stage of investigation, otherwise it would be impossible for a BOP to choose to intervene in a case that may be related to the CIA.


    ?Of course, it is not ruled out that Team Leader William has a background behind him. But the background behind Team Leader William cannot be particularly big, otherwise he would not be able to stay in the BOP department.


    ??Moreover, Luo An also has thighs on his back, and there are several thick legs. He is not afraid at all when it comes to competing for power.


    In addition, Matthew Mothers'' words in the interrogation room just now made Luo An think of a possibility. The prison riot case itself is not important. The story behind it is what Luo An needs to find out. Arguing with the BOP is a waste of time. , just let them work in vain.


    Chenelle was about to continue asking, but the phone rang again, and Lacey said angrily:


    ��Luo An, those **** guys let me go, but took my information away!��


    Chenier frowned even more, while Luo An chuckled and said:


    ��Don��t tell me that you didn��t prepare anything this time.��


    After working together with Lacey for so long, both Roan and Mona discovered her habit of leaving everything to one side and being as cunning as possible.


    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????


    ��Of course... I��m ready to take a backup plan.��


    Lacie took a big breath, then smiled and said:


    ��What those fools took away was the earliest information I found, and the content I found recently has been hidden by me for a long time.


    ??However, the earliest information found was also information, and I was still very angry that they took it away! "


    ��It��s good to be prepared. Lacey, please come back first.��


    ?? Chenier let out a long breath, Luo An looked at her with a smile, and then said to the mobile phone:


    ��By the way, as you said before, that mysterious man who secretly interrogated the prisoner leader, have you found out his identity?��


    "No."


    Speaking of this, Lacey''s voice deepened and she said seriously:


    ��I investigated carefully and found that the prisoner leader who had seen the mysterious man had died in the prison riot. Almost no prison guards had seen the mysterious man. Perhaps only the warden knew who the man was.


    I later checked the road surveillance, store surveillance, etc. in the area near the prison. Miraculously, on the day the mysterious man appeared, those surveillance systems were either temporarily repaired, or had malfunctions and lost the recording, or the other party could not be found. "

 Chapter 776： Office of Integrity and Regulation

    Chapter 776 Office of Integrity and Rules


    ??Lacie not only asked the prison guards and asked Michelle to help investigate the surveillance, she also conducted on-site visits, made on-site inquiries, and even quietly offered a reward.


    It can be said that Lacey used all the investigative methods used by the FBI in the past when investigating the identity of the mysterious man.


    The result is still nothing.


    At the end of the conversation, Lacey��s voice was extremely cold. She lowered her voice and said:


    ��Luo An, I feel like this mysterious man knows too much about how our FBI works.


    ??This guy is either a mortal enemy of the FBI, or..."


    ��Either he��s an FBI.��


    ??Luo An took over what Lacey said with a smile, and then said:


    ��You come back first, and we will discuss this matter when you come back.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Lacie hung up the phone, Chenelle looked up at Roan and asked:


    ��Do you think the guy who caused the prison riot was one of our own?��


    As for whether the source of the information was Secretary Harlock or Director Vikram himself... Matthew Moses said it was the secretary, but how did the secretary know the relevant information about Veranith and dare to pass this information on? It was a person Very interesting question.


    In the corridor, Mona looked at the names in the interrogation record and frowned:


    ��Office of Integrity and Regulation����


    Speaking of the latter part, Matthew Mother took a deep breath just to see what Luo An��s expression was like.


    Luo An said a cold joke, then remained silent for a few seconds, and concluded:


    ��CIA Director Matthew Mothers learned that after the FBI began investigating the polonium-210 incident, he obtained relevant information about Verenis from the Office of Integrity and Rules.


    ��When I hear this name, I know it is a department that is very suitable for Jews. It is honest and understands the rules.��


    ?Throwing the phone to Chenille, Luo An then turned around and returned to the interrogation room, and said bluntly without any nonsense:


    ��Who is the FBI who passed you the information about Verenis?��


    ��Sir, I would like to ask you to help us find out which agents at the FBI headquarters in Washington were not present on the day the mysterious man went to prison.��


    ��The source of the relevant information comes from the director of the Office of Integrity and Compliance at the FBI��s Washington headquarters...the secretary next to you.��


    ?He first briefly explained Lacey��s investigation, and then said:


    Seeing that the expression on Luo An''s face did not change, Matthew Mothers was a little disappointed. Before he could say anything more, Luo An stood up and greeted Winslow, asking Winslow to take Matthew Mothers away. Interrogation room, sent to temporary prison.


    Mr. Clement on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, agreed and hung up the phone.


    ? Manager Ulysses then told this information to the head of the nuclear laboratory, Etwang Jones, and asked him to reduce his actions in the near future to avoid attracting attention.


    Hearing Luo An threaten him with this matter, Matthew Moses'' eyelids twitched and he did not dare to continue talking nonsense and replied:


    ��Although they are all FBI, they are not necessarily our own people.��


    ??Roan patted Cheniel on the shoulder meaningfully, then found the number and called Mr. Clement.


    Matthew Moses raised his eyebrows and was about to talk nonsense. Roan knocked on the table hard and said:


    ��Don��t waste your time, you don��t need to know what kind of Federation person I am.


    The only thing you need now is a cell with a window. "


    Illinois Nuclear Power Company, President and CEO Leighton Perelman was accidentally shot and died. Matthew Moses had to break the rules and tell the next-level manager Ulysses about the incident.


    Because the director of the Office of Integrity and Compliance, named Vikram Garcia, is Jewish, as is his secretary, Hallock.


    ???As a result, Etwang Jones, the head of the nuclear laboratory, learned of the incident and came up with a plan. He used polonium-210 to hire a murderer to poison Verenis, and planned to put all the blame on the manager Ulysses..."


    ??Mona, Chenille and Michelle nodded together. The incident had been cleared up and only one question remained. Mona lowered her voice and asked:


    "What should I do with the Office of Integrity and Rules...?" ? ? ? Things involving Jews are generally very troublesome and can easily lead to thunderstorms. Mona, Chenille and Michelle don''t like to have too much presence with them in the case. connect.


    ��The incident is beyond our authority and should be reported to the next level.��


    ??Luo An said the blame with a serious face, took the interrogation record from Mona''s hand, waved his hand and said:


    "I''ll go to Mr. Clement''s office. You go pick up Lacey and help her sort out her investigation information."


    "no problem."


    ?The three women nodded in unison, and upon seeing this, Luo An turned around and walked towards the elevator in the distance.


    The elevator door opened and Luo An walked into the corridor. As soon as he arrived at the door of Mr. Clement''s office, he saw Mr. Clement and his secretary, both of whom had changed into windbreakers and were obviously ready to go out.


    ��Hello, sir.��


    ?Luo An waved his hand and said hello, and said with some confusion:


    "This is��"


    Mr. Clement frowned slightly and asked:


    ��Did you find out anything new?��


    ��Something was indeed found out, related to Verenis.��


    Roan handed the interrogation record to Mr. Clement, and then briefly stated the name Matthew Moses mentioned.


    Hearing that it was related to the Office of Integrity and Rules, Mr. Clement frowned even more. He was silent for a while, handed the folder to the secretary, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Send it to the director.��


    ��Yes, sir.��


    The secretary��s eyebrows twitched, but he still nodded in agreement. Mr. Clement then looked at Luo An and asked:


    ��I remember Luo An, you have a very magical micro-expression analysis ability, you can determine the authenticity of what others say, right?��


    ??The so-called micro-expression analysis is just a cover for the "emotional perception" in Luo An''s mind. However, he certainly couldn''t tell the truth at this time, so he nodded:


    "Yes, sir, but the technology isn''t that magical and errors occasionally occur."


    Mr. Clement waved his hand, thinking that this was Roan''s self-effacing remarks, and said:


    ��Hurry back to the office and change your clothes. Let��s meet in the parking lot downstairs. You and I will take a walk.��


    ��Okay, sir.��


    ?Luo Anxin had doubts, but seeing that Mr. Clement was very anxious, he did not ask immediately. After agreeing, he turned around and returned to his office.


    After changing his coat, Luo An went downstairs and walked into the parking lot. Mr. Clement had been waiting in the passenger seat of the car for a long time. He waved Luo An to sit in the driver''s seat, and then pointed the direction of the car for Luo An.


    ?Mr. Clement didn��t say where exactly they were going, and Luo An didn��t ask. The car traveled smoothly and soon arrived at a villa in the suburbs of Washington.


    ?The car stopped slowly. Mr. Clement sat in the passenger seat and was silent for a few seconds. Finally, he took a long breath, opened the door and said:


    ��Roan, stay with me.��


    ��Yes, sir.��


    ??Roan followed Clement out of the car. Mr. Clement strode to the door of the villa, stretched out his hand and rang the doorbell.


    ??Luo An stood behind Mr. Clement and observed the surroundings carefully. He found that the lawn outside the villa was not only very neatly cleaned, but there were also many obstacles suitable for hiding and escaping around it.


    Many thoughts flashed through Luo An''s mind, and he silently took note of the terrain here.


    After waiting for a long time, the door was finally opened, and an elderly white man with half black and half white hair, who looked to be in his fifties, came out and said with a smile:


    ��Long time no see, Clement!��


    Mr. Clement had no expression on his face and directly took out a pistol and pressed it against the opponent��s abdomen:


    ��Thomas, you are under arrest.��


    ������x2

 Chapter 777： The truth about the whole case

    Chapter 777 The truth about the whole case


    Mr. Clement��s action was so direct that not only Thomas was stunned on the spot, but Roan also didn��t expect him to do this.


    After being stunned for a few seconds, Thomas did not panic at all and said with a smile:


    ��We haven��t seen each other for so long, and you��re ready to give me a bullet as soon as you come to the door?��


    Mr. Clement remained expressionless and said:


    ��You should know that I came to you to show that you still have a choice not to take this bullet.


    If I send someone else to find you, then you really have no choice. "


    ??The old white man named Thomas fell silent. After a few seconds, he chuckled and turned sideways to make way:


    ��Come in and have a chat, you shouldn��t be short of time.��


    Mr. Clement glanced at Thomas, put away his pistol and walked into the villa. Thomas followed. Roan was the last to enter the villa and closed the door.


    ?Walking into the living room of the villa, Mr. Clement poured himself a glass of red wine very familiarly, and then sat on the sofa.


    Thomas didn��t care either. He poured himself a glass of red wine, took out a cigar, lit it, took a long puff, and said with a smile:


    "When was the last time we met? It seemed like three years ago? You haven''t been to my place since you retired."


    ? Thomas blew out a puff of smoke and grinned, showing his big yellow teeth. He directly admitted everything without denying or denying.


    When the task was successfully completed, Thomas thought that was the end of the matter and forgot about it.


    Roan frowned slightly, and Mr. Clement said expressionlessly:


    ?? Once someone investigates the death case of the blue-eyed killer and traces the clues to the guy who delivered the letter, they will eventually trace me, and I will take the blame for the real killer! "


    ?Thomas picked up the wine glass and took a sip, with a ferocious smile on his face and said:


    ��That blue-eyed killer didn��t follow the killer��s rules and investigated my identity privately.


    ?Luo An��s expression remained unchanged, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Thomas was the mastermind behind the prison riot.


    ? Thomas put down his wine glass and said with a smile:


    Mr. Clement waved his hand for Roan to sit wherever he wanted, then looked at Thomas and asked:


    ��Who do you want to kill in this prison riot?��


    But I soon realized a problem. The blue-eyed killer was dead, but the guy who helped him deliver the letter was still alive!


    Thomas said that five years ago, for some reasons, he disguised his identity and posted a task on the "Skull Flower" killer platform, and the killer he took over was "Blue Eyes Roy".


    "Yes, that''s why I said before that the person I wanted to kill the most was actually killed by someone else."


    ��I wanted to kill a lot of people, but the person I wanted to kill the most was actually killed by someone else.��


    ??It was not appropriate to make a phone call in this situation, so Luo An openly took out his mobile phone and pretended that there was something new, but in fact, he sent Mona Thomas''s appearance and home address and other information, asking her to investigate.


    ��As a result, I received a letter a few days ago.��


    ?? He even used this as a threat, asking me to find a way to help him change to a prison, one that is easy to escape from! "


    ?However, Roan still has some questions, such as who Thomas is, what is the relationship between Mr. Clement and Thomas, how did Mr. Clement guess that the black hand was Thomas, and why Thomas did this.


    ��But it wasn��t you who killed Blue-Eyed Roy.��


    ��I was initially happy when I heard the news.


    ??What Thomas is actually worried about is not that he will become a suspect, but that once he comes into the eyes of the case investigators, the other party will definitely investigate the connection between him and Blue-Eyed Roy.


    For Thomas, the incident behind the murder that year was a secret that he must not reveal.


    Mr. Clement nodded:


    "So you disguise your identity, enter the prison secretly, interrogate the prisoner leader, and ask him to help you handle the rest." "That''s right."


    Thomas smiled and nodded, and then said with some disdain:


    ��The guy who sent someone to kill that blue-eyed killer is such a loser, but he actually left so many clues in prison!��


    ? Luo An��s lips curled up slightly, wondering how Matthew Moses, the CIA director he captured, would feel when he heard these words.


    ?In order to protect himself and erase traces, Thomas had to secretly interrogate the prisoner leader and negotiate terms with the other party to cause a prison riot.


    ??Take advantage of the chaos and kill those who know the clues related to the murder of Blue Eyes Roy, whether they are prisoners or prison guards.


    As for the prisoner leader who had seen Thomas'' face, Thomas had secretly poisoned him during their meeting. Even if the prisoner leader survived the riot, he would not survive for 60 hours.


    Luo An''s expression moved slightly. At this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out and looked at it, and found that it was a message from Mona.


    ??The content of the message is not long. It briefly introduces the identity of Thomas:


    ? Thomas Henderson, a biological male, is 57 years old this year. He joined the FBI at the age of 24 and has worked in counterintelligence, violent crimes, fugitives department, reading department and other departments.


    Thomas was excellent in all aspects of investigation, fighting, marksmanship, and anti-tracking. However, he was addicted to alcohol and his law enforcement methods were too violent and direct. As a result, he worked for decades and ended up as the leader of a violent crime investigation team. Identity retired.


    The person who handled the retirement formalities for him was none other than Mr. Clement.


    Not only that, Mona also found out that Mr. Clement and this Thomas both attended the FBI training academy when they were young, and the two had most likely met.


    ??Luo An closed the phone and put it in his pocket, thinking about the information Mona found, and finally understood the reason why Mr. Clement guessed that the murderer was Thomas.


    ��I didn��t make any guesses about you Thomas at first.��


    Mr. Clement was silent for a few seconds, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said in a deep voice:


    ��But seeing the information my agents found, I am increasingly suspicious that you did it.


    ?There are no clues, no one can see your face, surveillance is either disabled or destroyed... These are your signature tactics, and I am all too familiar with them. "


    ?At the end of the sentence, Clement put down his wine glass, took out his pistol and put it on his lap. He pointed the gun at Thomas and asked in a solemn voice:


    "Last question, what exactly did you do when you went to the "Skull Flower" to find the killer? What made you so afraid of being discovered?"


    ?Luo An also straightened up and looked up at Thomas.


    ?Things have come to this point, and the entire case has been clarified:


    ?Blue-Eyed Roy wanted to escape from prison, so he sent Thomas a threatening letter.


    ?? Before Thomas could take action, CIA director Matthew Moses was worried that the polonium-210 matter would be discovered, so he sent someone to kill Blue-Eyed Roy first.


    ??While Thomas was happy, he was worried that the incident would be traced to him, so he started a prison riot to take advantage of the chaos to silence him.


    ? CIA agent Dick Lawrence was the one who was sent to carry out the follow-up extermination mission. The prison riot caught him by surprise, so he had to kill the mother of prison guard Danny, but was caught by Luo An and others.


    On the other side, before the prison riot, the director of the nuclear laboratory, Etwang Jones, wanted to frame the manager Ulysses, so he hired a murderer to poison Veranith based on the information told by Matthew Moses.


    ??As a result, the murderer Henderson was so greedy that he ignored Wood and kidnapped Etwang-Jones to continue asking for money. He was eventually caught by Luo An and others...


    Seeing that Clement and Roan were staring at him closely, Thomas smiled without any panic and said:


    ��The cigar smoke was poisonous, and there were less than three hours left before the onset of the attack.


    My conditions are very simple. You send me out of the Federation, and I will give you the antidote. "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 778： lie, catch

    Chapter 778 Lies, arrest


    One o''clock in the afternoon, a villa in the suburbs of Washington.


    ��Cigar smoke is poisonous.��


    ??On the sofa in the living room, Thomas exhaled a puff of thick smoke, grinned, and spoke threatening words to the two people in front of him with a smile.


    Hearing this, Mr. Clement��s expression did not change. He picked up the wine glass again and took a sip, and said softly:


    ��Thomas, how many years have passed and you have never thought of changing your tactics?��


    ��It doesn��t matter if the move is old, as long as it works.��


    ? Thomas chuckled, took another long puff of cigar, and exhaled a layer of smoke visible to the naked eye.


    ?He then turned his eyes to Luo An aside, and saw that Luo An looked calmer than Mr. Clement, and his expression did not change at all. Thomas was slightly surprised and said with a smile:


    ��I��ve heard of your name, Roan Greenwood, the new and best investigative team leader at FBI headquarters in Washington, right?��


    Without waiting for Roan to answer, Thomas continued:


    ��You and your commander are both poisoned now, and Clement seems to be unwilling to let me go, and is prepared to spend his remaining life in exchange for sending me to prison.


    �O


    Luo An had no intention of stopping at all. He moved to the wall in the blink of an eye and slapped it hard with his whip leg.


    �ˡ�


    ����


    ?Under Thomas''s expectant gaze, Luo An chuckled, and then... grabbed the wine glass on the table and threw it towards Thomas.


    The single sofa hit the ground, and a muffled sound was heard in the room. Thomas quickly prepared to retract his legs and get up from the ground to fight back.


    ? Thomas had no chance to speak. Under the terrifying force, he could not support his newly sitting up body. He was kicked straight away and fell down, and his head hit the floor hard.


    There was another muffled sound, and Thomas'' back hit the wall hard. The severe pain made him almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and he fell to the floor. Thomas took a breath:


    ��Myback����


    What about you, young Team Leader Greenwood, what are your plans? "


    ?Thomas reacted quickly and dodged the wine glass. The glass fell to the ground with a shattering sound and turned into a pile of glass.


    The moment his arms came into contact with the whip legs, the sound of his arms breaking and the sharp pain that instantly entered his brain made Thomas'' eyes widen in surprise.


    ?The next second, a huge force far beyond imagination came from his left leg. Thomas felt like a rag doll and actually flew up!


    Before his limbs could move, Thomas'' face suddenly changed slightly, and he felt his left leg being grabbed.


    ? Feeling the sound of wind breaking through the air caused by the whip kick, Thomas''s face changed drastically and he opened his mouth to curse. At the same time, he quickly raised his arms and put them on the side of his head to block it.


    ?? Thomas snorted coldly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him. The other person was Luo An!


    ? Thomas was startled by Luo An''s speed. He quickly kicked hard and used the force to fall back, knocking the back of the single sofa backwards to the ground, thus avoiding the opponent''s attack.


    ��You **** boy!��


    ?Grabbing Thomas''s left leg with both hands, a cold look flashed in Luo An''s eyes, and he threw him against the wall.


    Snapped-


    ��Congratulations, Mr. Thomas, you have been arrested.��


    ??Looking at Thomas'' arms that were twisted in the opposite direction, Luo An squatted down and pressed his knees on his back. He took out the handcuffs and cuffed Thomas''s feet tightly, and said softly:


    "You have the right to remain silent. If you do not remain silent, everything you say can be used as evidence in court." This sentence comes from the "Miranda Warning" in Western countries, which is well known to women and children in the Commonwealth. , is a procedural utterance used by the federal police when arresting someone.


    ??However, Luo An said this sentence very rarely. He would either shoot the enemy directly and send the enemy to **** without a chance to say it; or other members of the investigation team would make statements about this sentence, and Luo An was too lazy to say it.


    ��Youmotherfu-ker!��


    ? Thomas, who was pinned to the floor, screamed and cursed, and finally couldn''t help spitting out blood. On the one hand, his broken arm made him feel very angry, and on the other hand, Thomas yelled:


    "Let me say it for the last time! I have poisoned you! If you don''t want to die, let me go! Otherwise, I won''t give you the antidote even if I die!"


    Clement! You **** old thing! Let this guy who attacked me quickly let go! "


    On the sofa, Clement was sitting upright with a wine glass in his hand, but there was a trace of confusion on his face, and he had not yet fully reacted.


    ??Luo An''s movements were so fast that Clement only felt that he had blinked before Thomas was thrown away, kicked down, and finally cuffed by Luo An and controlled tightly.


    After carefully reviewing it for a few seconds, Mr. Clement finally came back to his senses and looked at Luo An with surprise.


    Mr. Clement knew that Luo An was very skilled. Most of the prisoners were captured by him personally, and his fighting ability was very strong.


    But these things were seen in documents or heard from other people. Mr. Clement had never seen the scene of Roan''s operation with his own eyes.


    ??Seeing Luo An''s arresting actions today, Mr. Clement realized what he said about "Luo An is very powerful", what was going on!


    Mr. Clement has seen the special forces in the army, but now he feels that those special forces may have better marksmanship than Luo An, but they are definitely not as fast as Luo An''s reaction speed!


    As his throat rolled, Mr. Clement''s hands were shaking a little, not from fright but shock. Clement was also young and had dreamed of killing the enemy with one powerful blow. Luo An''s action just now was that of himself when he was young. What a dream looks like!


    ��Poison lies are really boring, Mr. Thomas.��


    Mr. Clement remained silent. Roan reached out and patted Thomas on the shoulder and said with a smile:


    ��Always treating others as fools will eventually make you a fool.��


    ?As soon as he walked outside the villa, Luo An opened the "emotional perception" in his mind, and it never closed it when he entered the villa.


    ? Mr. Clement''s "emotional senses" "trembled" when he took out the pistol.


    Whether you pick up the glass of red wine or be forced to inhale the second-hand smoke from the cigar, the "emotional perception" does not issue a warning, which means that there is no danger at all.


    In addition, when Thomas said that the cigar smoke had been poisoned by him, the "emotional perception" clearly felt the other party''s lying mood.


    Roan finally concluded that this sentence must be a temporary delaying tactic that Thomas thought of. The purpose was to interfere with Roan and Clement''s emotions and judgment and buy time for his escape.


    ��Shet!��


    After Luo An finished speaking, Thomas''s face turned red and white. Finally, he cursed a few words, bowed his head and lay on the ground and stopped making any sound.


    ?On the other side, Mr. Clement took a few deep breaths, his hands stopped shaking, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart.


    ��Well done.��


    Clement put down his wine glass, stood up and walked to Luo An. He reached out and patted Luo An on the shoulder, lowered his head and asked:


    ��Thomas, let me ask you one last time, when you went to the Skull Flower to find the killer, what exactly did you want him to do?��


    ?Thomas closed his eyes and said nothing.


    Upon seeing this, Mr. Clement was too lazy to continue asking. He waved his hand towards Luo An and said:


    ��Call someone to take him back.��


    ��Yes, sir.��


    ??Luo An smiled and took out his mobile phone to make a call. Mr. Clement��s secretary quickly came with someone.


    After handing Thomas over to the other party, Luo An was about to talk to the secretary for a few words when Mr. Clement greeted Luo An into his car and said:


    ��Luo An, tell me about the interrogation of that CIA director.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 779： camp, promotion, teaching

    Chapter 779: Camp, Promotion, Teaching


    ?Luo Anxin was confused, but still briefly introduced the interrogation record.


    After listening to Luo An��s description, Mr. Clement slowly closed his eyes and remained silent.


    ?At the villa in the distance, several agents from the Trace Inspection Section entered the villa to look for clues; several FBI agents escorted Thomas into an ambulance and prepared to go to the hospital;


    Mr. Clement��s secretary is coordinating the scene and looks very busy, but after watching it for a few seconds, I don��t know what he is busy with.


    ?There were only two people in the car. Mr. Clement was sitting in the back seat of the car, closing his eyes and meditating. Luo An, who was sitting in the driver''s seat, was a little bored, so he thought about how to rest after the case was over.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and when all the trace inspection department agents left, Mr. Clement suddenly said:


    ��Luo An, whose country do you think belongs to the Federation?��


    ??Luo An''s mouth twitched, subconsciously wanting to say "big capitalist", but he still suppressed the sentence from his throat and smiled:


    ��The Federation is a liberal democracy, a state of voting citizens.��


    After saying this, Luo An felt a little sick, but the matter behind it was too deep. Mr. Clement did not express his position. Luo An was afraid that he would not be able to grasp it, so he said some politically correct nonsense with an innocent face.


    Mr. Clement opened his eyes, smiled, and asked a slightly more direct question:


    ��Who do you think is leading the federation, Judea or Onsa?��


    Mr. Clement nodded slightly and said:


    ��Luo An, one of the rules of the game in the Federation is to choose a camp and serve for your own camp.


    ��Good.��


    Luo An remembered that the spokesperson of the country on the other side of the Taiwan Strait said that senior officials of the federal government were uniting with some countries to "create a small circle of Angsa people."


    Mr. Clement��s rapid promotion is inseparable from the cases handled by Luo An.


    ?With decades of public opinion propaganda, they succeeded in making the Jews the worst victims during World War II.


    But there are always people who know the truth of the matter, and the ancestral inferiority flaws in the Jewish character cannot be hidden forever. The final result will inevitably be revealed, and paper cannot cover fire.


    ??Clement smiled softly, the FBI-CIA list missing case, the former NSA director''s radiation poisoning case, the nuclear warhead missing case, the arms dealer case, the gem curse case, the serial murder case involving the Speaker of Congress...


    ?However, for some reasons, Director Robert will not hand over this department to anyone else. There is a high probability that the new director will be a Jew or a person of Jewish descent. "


    ??The other party was not talking about "the small circle of Jews." These things flashed through Luo An''s mind quickly, so he replied in a low voice:


    ??In these cases, what Luo An saw was the murderer himself, and what he got was an upgrade in his position and a rapid increase in money. What Mr. Clement saw was the story behind the murderer, and what he got was the political deal behind the case.


    ?But just because Luo An doesn��t understand, it doesn��t mean that others don��t know. For example, on the other side of the ocean, as the federation��s long-standing imaginary enemy, the other side has never let down its guard.


    In the past, when I was in front, you never got to this point, so there is no need to think about this.


    ��I think it��s the latter, sir.��


    So Clement��s attitude was very kind at this time. Out of fear that Luo An would not understand the meaning behind it, his words were much more direct than before, and he whispered:


    ��In this case, the director of the Office of Integrity and Rules and his secretary will eventually be dealt with by the director.


    ??Luo An��s brows moved slightly, and he keenly discovered the problem in Mr. Clement��s words, and smiled:


    ��Congratulations, sir, on your promotion to the Ministry of Justice.��


    Roan''s eyelids twitched. Needless to say, the status of Jews in the Federation was almost entirely dominated by them.


    Beyond the two parties, there are many other camps. Even within the two parties, there are many camps.


    ??Whether the leader of the federation is a Jew or an Onsa, Luo An has not reached that level yet and does not know much about these things.


    But after this case is over, you need to think carefully about these issues. "


    ?Luo An nodded understandingly. Compared to the local branches of the FBI, which focus on handling cases, the FBI''s Washington headquarters is essentially more of a political department.


    ?Robert, the director of the FBI, seems to have a high status, but in fact... it is indeed not low.


    ?However, Director Robert cannot escape matters such as political balance and exchange of interests, and there is no way to escape. Roan understood the meaning behind Mr. Clement��s words. He had already stood on the opposite side of the Jewish camp because of this case, so he asked:


    ��Sir, after you are promoted to the Department of Justice, who will be responsible for the FBI��s work?��


    ? Mr. Clement��s promotion is a good thing, as it means that Luo An will have a leg to rely on in the Ministry of Justice in the future.


    ?But here at the FBI''s Washington headquarters, the vacancy created by Mr. Clement''s promotion is also a big problem.


    Verenis is not qualified enough to take that position. If the replacement comes from the enemy camp, things may become much more troublesome in the future.


    ��You don��t have to worry about this.��


    Mr. Clement smiled and patted Roan on the shoulder. He did not elaborate, but just asked him to relax.


    ??? Before Roan could speak, Mr. Clement continued:


    ��Remember the rules of the game I just said, don��t stand in the middle, don��t betray your original camp, betraying once means there will be a second time.


    ?That private club at MIT, remember to go there more often and make more friends.


    As for the new director of the Office of Integrity and Rules in the future, there is no need to be too confrontational, just get along normally. "


    Mr. Clement had a lot of meaning behind these words. He was told to abide by the rules of the game.


    The words in the middle revealed that the people in the club and Mr. Clement should all belong to the same camp, that is, the Onsa people.


    ??The following words warned Luo An not to be openly hostile to the Jews. Doing one thing in front of others and another behind the scenes is the standard quality that federal political players should have.


    This information flashed through Luo An''s mind instantly, and he nodded with a smile:


    ��No problem, sir, I��ve memorized it all.��


    ��VeryGood.��


    ?Seeing that Luo An was so clear, Clement suddenly smiled and nodded gently, feeling very satisfied in his heart.


    ? ? After changing the topic and chatting for a few words, Mr. Clement asked Luo An to switch to the passenger seat, then asked the secretary to get in the car and asked him to drive the two of them back to the FBI''s Washington headquarters.


    secretary:"��"


    ??All the direct murderers involved in the case have been arrested, and the rest of the matter has become procedural work. Luo An handed it over to Michelle as usual and asked her to lead the team to deal with it.


    As for what exactly Thomas did to find the killer, I don��t know what method Mr. Clement used. Thomas spoke up that night, and the secretary sent some of the interrogation records to Luo An.


    ??Interrogation records show that Thomas had an illegitimate son. The illegitimate son accidentally hit and killed a man with his car. The other party demanded high compensation from the illegitimate son and was preparing to take the illegitimate son to jail.


    ?After several private meetings and discussions with no results, Thomas went to the "Skull Flower" to place an order for the future of his illegitimate child, and sent all the victim''s family to heaven.


    ??The illegitimate child graduated successfully, entered a world-class company, and is now a manager.


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ��What a cousin!��


    ?After reading this part of the interrogation record, Lacey, Winslow and Chenelle were angry and yelled, and Mona and Michelle also looked very ugly.


    Luo An didn''t care about this. He shifted his gaze to the TV at the front of the office area, where a piece of news that many people didn''t pay much attention to was being reported there.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 780： chatting, camping

    Chapter 780: Chatting, camping


    5:30 pm, Washington, D.C., "Insomnia Building", office area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    ?After reading Thomas��s interrogation record, Winslow, Chenelle, Lacey, Mona and Michelle all had ugly expressions.


    ?The other party''s behavior of buying a murderer to kill the whole family for the sake of having an illegitimate child is really too bad and despised.


    ??Mona cursed a few words in a low voice, turned to look at Luo An, and found that Luo An was facing away from several people, with his arms folded in front of his chest, and he was concentrating on watching the TV at the front of the office area.


    ??Mona walked to Luo An, looked at the TV and asked with some doubts:


    ��Luo An, what are you looking at?��


    Luo An picked up a cup of coffee and handed it to Mona. He also picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip, smiling:


    ��I am watching the breeze and sunshine before a storm.��


    The [Polonium 210 Case] ??is over, and the time has officially entered January 2007.


    At this time, what was playing on TV was financial news that many people didn��t like to watch.


    The female reporter on TV said that New Century Financial, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the federal government, is suspected of having a business crisis or operating crisis recently.


    ��We are talking about Thomas and his illegitimate son.��


    ��Do you want to short this company��s stock?��


    ?Luo An shook his head, took the folder and said:


    ��Mr. Clement has sent other agents to handle this matter, so we don��t need to intervene.��


    ??The company''s senior managers denied the matter to the outside world, claiming that the company''s business was normal and operating profits were still considerable. However, many senior managers began to quietly sell the company''s shares...


    ��As long as we handle it well, the case in our hands will be fine.��


    After watching the news on TV for a while, Mona didn��t understand what Luo An meant and asked:


    ?Luo An shook the folder and said:


    ��This case seems to be one case, but in fact it is several cases connected together.


    ��I had this thought, but I forgot about it.��


    The murder of "Blue-Eyed Roy", the case of the CIA director sending agents to kill him, the poisoning case of Veranis, the kidnapping of the head of the nuclear laboratory and the case of conspiracy..."


    ? New Century Financial Corporation declared bankruptcy in April 2007, and it is now January, about three months away.


    In addition, there is also the "Information Leaked by the Office of Integrity and Rules" incident.


    "What are you talking about?"


    Luo An shook his head helplessly. These cases all need to be filed separately.


    "What did Mr. Clement say? Do you want our special investigation team to arrest the illegitimate child?"


    ? The subprime mortgage crisis is the prelude to the financial crisis. The decline in the housing market is the prelude to the subprime mortgage crisis. The declaration of bankruptcy by New Century Financial Corporation is the whistle that the federal housing market has begun to decline.


    With this information flashing through his mind quickly, Luo An smiled and patted the confused Mona on the shoulder, then walked towards Lacey and others and asked:


    Lacie shook the folder in her hand, and asked without concealing the unhappiness in her eyes:


    ? Thomas'' case from earlier years was handed over by Mr. Clement to other investigation teams for handling. In fact, it was to share some pressure with Luo An''s special investigation team.


    Chenelle frowned:


    ��Then let��s����


    ??Mona is an expert in computer knowledge and technology, but her knowledge in finance can only be said to know basic words.


    ?Luo An put down the coffee cup and shook his head.


    "no problem."


    ? Michelle raised her hand and gave Luo An an OK sign, indicating that she could just leave this aspect to her.


    ��Don��t worry, we have plenty of time.��


    ?Luo An smiled and briefly explained a few words. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he changed the subject and asked:


    ��Everyone, do you have any thoughts on how many days you can rest after handling this case?��


    "No."


    All the detectives shook their heads together. They were used to taking a few days off after handling a case, either resting with their families, reading, sleeping, or going to nightclubs to have fun.


    ?Seeing that no one had any ideas, Luo An thought for a while and said:


    ��How about we go camping together someday?�� ��Camping?��


    Lacie''s eyes lit up instantly when she heard this word, and she quickly raised her hand and asked:


    ��Is it the kind of tent you set up at night? Can you bring your family members?��


    ������xN


    ??Everyone looked at Lacey with speechless faces. Winslow complained:


    ��Where do you get your family from?��


    ??Lacie put her hands on her hips, glanced at Winslow, and said:


    ��Aren��t girlfriends considered family members?��


    The detectives had black lines all over their heads. Luo An rubbed his temples and asked helplessly:


    ��Who is your girlfriend? The girl with long red hair named Susan?��


    ��First of all, the girl��s name is Lily, not Susan. You misremembered their names.��


    Lacey shook her finger seriously and introduced:


    ��Second, the Lily you are talking about is my girlfriend two months ago. My girlfriend this month is Sophia, a college student who came to Washington, D.C., for an internship in a government department.��


    ��SIX.��


    Roan twitched the corner of his mouth and gave Lacey a thumbs up. Then he chose to ignore the question she asked again, looked at the other people and asked:


    ��What about you? Do you have time?��


    "I''m OK."


    Winslow spread his hands, smiled, and said:


    ��Lanita resigned from the company where she originally worked. She hasn��t had much to do recently, and we just happened to go out for a picnic together.��


    ��We have no problem either.��


    ?Chenelle and Michelle have always been alone, and they had nothing to do during the holidays. They looked at each other and nodded in agreement.


    ��OK.��


    ?? Luo An smiled, pushed away Lacey who was still asking if he could bring his girlfriend to participate, and asked:


    ��Do you have any suggestions for camping spots?��


    ��I know a good place!��


    ??Mona raised her hand, and just as she started speaking, Luo An added:


    ��By the way, try not to choose places that are off the beaten path...and try not to choose lakeside huts.��


    The reason for not choosing an inaccessible place was for safety reasons. Winslow��s son is not yet a big boy this year.


    As for not choosing the lake house... mainly because the name sounds unlucky.


    ??Mona rolled her eyes. She found her laptop, tapped the keyboard a few times to bring up a very beautiful photo, and said:


    ��How about we go to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming? It��s one of the best places in the Commonwealth to camp!��


    Chenelle and Michelle nodded:


    ��I think it��s okay.��


    ?Winslow also raised an OK gesture:


    "I''m OK."


    ?Luo An finally looked at Lacey. Lacey frowned slightly and said:


    ��Yellowstone National Park�� I remember camping there seemed like you had to fight for spots.��


    "Indeed it is."


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard a few times to call up the relevant information, then showed the screen to everyone and said with a smile:


    ��But the places are on a first-come, first-served basis, so I think it��s no problem for us.��


    ?Lacie laughed when she heard this:


    ��OK, then I��m fine.��


    ?Luo An picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile:


    ��Then everyone, please prepare in the next few days, we will set off together in four days.��


    ��No problem!�� xN


    ??There was endless laughter in the office area, and the laughter lasted for a while until it was time to get off work. Everyone left the building in their own cars and started to go home to rest.


    Roan and Mona returned to the villa and first called the service company that cleaned the villa. After the service staff finished cleaning the villa that had been unoccupied for the past few days, they started making dinner together.


    After dinner, they took a short break and went upstairs to wash up and prepare to go to bed. Because they were too tired these past few days, Mona was not in the mood to play games, so she lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.


    Luo An was not in a hurry to sleep. He closed his eyes and opened the light blue page.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 781： System Harvest, Yellowstone National Park

    Chapter 781 System Harvest, Yellowstone Park


    ��Polonium 210��This case involves a lot of things, and the story inside is also more complicated. The system finally rated Luo An as [Excellent], and a total of ten treasure boxes were accumulated.


    With a slight movement of thought, the light blue system page immediately started playing rough cutscenes, and ten treasure chests were opened one after another.


    ?The types of potions released from the ten treasure chests were the same as before, and no new potions appeared. Luo An took a look and found that there was [Swift Potion x1]


    ��Antidote x2��


    ��Strength Potion x1��


    ��Scuba Potion x2��


    ��Featherfall Potion x2��


    ��Danger Sense Potion x1��


    ��Hemostatic Agent x1��


    ��Scuba Potion x4��


    After simply calculating for a few seconds, Luo An happily closed the system page. When he opened his eyes, he found that Mona had turned her back to him and entered a deep sleep. Mentally, Luo An also felt a little tired and put his arms around her and closed his eyes. Entered dreamland.


    ?Luo An first bought some flowers and fruits, and then drove to the hospital where Veranith was.


    ��Regeneration Potion x7��


    ? After hesitating for a few seconds, Luo An finally decided not to take it out and drink it now. The usage scenarios and scope of "emotional perception" are sufficient at the moment. He would save more for drinking in the future, and the effect will definitely be more significant.


    ��Sensitive Agent x2��


    In [Polonium 210 Case], Luo An did not use many medicines, and the newly opened treasure chest made up for them.


    ��How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?��


    Not only that, a new bottle of [Danger Sense Potion] was opened, which immediately made Luo An��s lips rise.


    ��Analgesic Medicine x7��


    ��Hemostatic Agent x8��


    ��Featherfall Potion x6��


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    ��Antidote x5��


    ��Sleep Potion x3��


    ��Strength Potion x4��


    ??The cutscene of opening the treasure box ends. Luo An then opens the warehouse sign in the lower right corner. At this time, there are [Stamina Potion x9] in it.


    Walking into the ward, Luo An said hello with a smile. While putting the flowers into the vase, he asked with a smile:


    The next day, the detectives of the special investigation team began to handle the follow-up work of the case under the leadership of Michelle.


    ��Swift Potion x7��


    ��Danger Sense Potion x2��


    ??When Luo An came, Veranith was leaning on the hospital bed reading a book. She took off her glasses and said with a smile:


    ��In fact, it has almost recovered.��


    Polonium-210 is indeed a very scary poison, but as long as it is discovered early and rescued in time, the chance of being out of danger is actually not low.


    Like a rag doll in the hospital, the doctor induced vomiting, gastric lavage, slow diarrhea, diuresis, etc. for several days. While Veranith completely lost her strength, the polonium 210 in her body was almost eliminated. At this stage, It��s more about observation and detection.


    ��What a happy news.��


    ??Luo An raised his eyebrows and smiled, handed a peeled apple to Veranith, and said:


    ��I actually have good news here. The whole case has been solved.��


    ��You can eat the apple yourself, I don��t have much appetite now.��


    Veranith smiled bitterly and waved her hand. She had been tortured for the past few days and had completely lost her appetite. She couldn''t eat anything, so she simply changed the subject:


    ��Please tell me briefly what is going on in this case.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An smiled, put the apple aside, and then carefully introduced his experience of leading people to investigate the case and the story behind the case.


    After listening to the operations of the CIA director and the person in charge of the nuclear laboratory who hired the murderer to poison her, Veranith''s expression did not change. But after learning that her relevant information was leaked from the Integrity and Rules Office, Veranith''s face suddenly became very gloomy:


    ��It turned out to be the director of that department, Vikram Garcia.��


    ��And his secretary.��


    After talking for a long time, Luo An felt thirsty. He poured himself a glass of water, took a sip and then smiled:


    ��But I went to the FBI headquarters in Washington today and heard from Mr. Clement that these two men had been transferred to other states by Director Robert and assigned to the frontier.��


    "Ah��"


    With a cold light flashing in her eyes, Veranith snorted coldly and did not discuss the topic further. She then asked:


    ��By the way, Mr. Clement is about to be promoted, do you know about this?��


    Luo An nodded:


    ��I know, Mr. Clement chatted with me yesterday and taught me a lot.��


    Verenis smiled slightly and was about to say something when Roan asked:


    ��Sir, since Mr. Clement is going to be promoted to the Department of Justice, do you know which officer will take over his position at the FBI headquarters in Washington?��


    ?Veriness was a little surprised:


    ��Didn��t Mr. Clement tell you?��


    Roan shook his head. Veranith narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw this, she was silent for a moment and smiled, and said:


    "Since Mr. Clement didn''t tell you, I won''t tell you either. You will know it later."


    ����


    ? Luo An��s mouth twitched, and he understood what those players meant when they said, ��The Riddler gets out of Gotham.��


    Since Veranith didn''t say anything, Roan stopped asking further questions. The two of them chatted about the case for a long time, and the doctor entered the room to start today''s examination.


    After waiting for a moment, the doctor learned that everything was normal and nothing serious. Luo An and Veranith had a few laughs and then drove out of the hospital.


    ?A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it soon came to Saturday. As previously agreed, everyone in the special investigation team took a plane to the Federal National Yellowstone Park in Wyoming.


    Yellowstone Park, a federal national park and a World Natural Heritage Site, is one of the largest volcanic craters in the world and one of the largest forests in the world.


    ??Also because of this huge and well-known volcano, Yellowstone Park will often appear in various federal disaster movies.


    ?In those movies, if the end of the world occurs, the volcanoes in Yellowstone Park will inevitably erupt.


    Not far from the "Old Faithful Geyser" in the west of Yellowstone Park, Roan held Winslow''s son Jimmy, looked at the slowly rising white smoke in the distance, and said with a smile:


    ��As for the extent of the volcanic eruption and disaster scenes, it will generally be determined by the funding level of the film production team.��


    ����


    Winslow next to him rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand to **** his son from Luo An''s arms, and said:


    ��Don��t listen to Uncle Luo An��s scare. The volcano here is very safe and will not erupt to that extent.��


    ?Little Jimmy nodded and began to ask about other aspects of Yellowstone Park.


    A child''s energy disappears as quickly as it comes. It didn''t take long for little Jimmy to feel hungry, so he ran to his mother Lanita not far away. Several women were taking photos together, and there were a few screams from time to time. .


    ?Leaning on the railing, Luo An looked at Mona and Chenelle who were playing with little Jimmy not far away, and smiled:


    ��I��m still so young, isn��t it inappropriate for little Jimmy to call me uncle?��


    Winslow opened his mouth and said with a smile:


    ��You are 26 this year, do you want little Jimmy to call you brother?


    ??If little Jimmy calls you brother, what do you call me? Uncle Winslow? "


    ?Roan rolled his eyes and hit Winslow on the arm. Winslow laughed very proudly.


    ?While laughing, Winslow looked around and found that Mona, Chenelle, Michelle and his wife Lanita were all there, but Lacey was not there, so he asked:


    ��Where did Lacey go?��


    The smell of sulfur in the air was a little strong. Luo An sneezed and replied:


    ��She said she would help us get a camping spot.��


    Winslow grinned:


    ����Are you sure she is going to grab the position?��


    ?Luo An��s brows moved slightly:


    "how?"


    "If I remember correctly, the person in charge of that place is a young woman with a good figure."


    ����

 Chapter 782： Lacey who sells her looks

    Chapter 782: Lacey betrays her lusty appearance


    As a world-renowned capitalist country, the Commonwealth, a place like Yellowstone Park that has no shortage of tourists, naturally cannot lack commercial development.


    There are 12 large-scale camping sites in Yellowstone Park. The opening hours of these sites, nightly prices, camp capacity, altitude, RV size restrictions, etc. can be checked on the official website.


    Even these camping sites have shops, toilets, bathhouses, laundry rooms, etc. for tourists to use, but the prices are not low.


    Saturday, in the southeast of Yellowstone Park, at a large camping site near a lake, in a less crowded location, Luo An and his group were setting up tents slowly.


    ??Under the sunlight not far away, the sparkling blue lake surface was covered with birds flying from time to time. After setting up the tent, Luo An took a sip of his beer and said helplessly:


    ��I didn��t expect to end up with a lakeside hut... No, it should be a small lakeside tent.��


    Mona laid out her sleeping bag and other things, got out of the tent, and asked doubtfully:


    ��Why do you always care so much about the word ��lake house��?��


    ��Maybe it��s because the O button can summon the dead wife in the first generation.��


    ?Luo An smiled, opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Mona:


    ��I asked before, and Lacey said that Evelin would sleep in a tent with her tonight.��


    The tent on Lacey''s side was quickly set up. Evelin and Lacey gathered together and laughed and talked in low voices for a while. Then she smiled and waved to Luo An and others, kissed Lacey on the face, and finally turned and left. to this camping site.


    ��OK, I��m going to prepare the oven.��


    ? Winslow, his wife Lanita, and little Jimmy shared a tent as a family; Chenelle and Michelle pitched a tent together; Roann and Mona lived together, and as for Lacey...


    The other group looked like a family, with a pair of parents and a pair of young children.


    ��Her name is Evelyn, and she is one of the managers of this camping site. Lacey and she just met today.��


    ??Luo An smiled, glanced at Winslow and Little Jimmy who were struggling with the tent, turned around and walked to the car not far away to get charcoal.


    ?This area is not too small. In addition to Luo An and his party, there are two groups of passers-by camping a few meters away.


    After it was agreed that all members of the special investigation team would go camping together today, the food preparation work was taken over by the women in the investigation team. Two men, Luo An and Winslow, were responsible for the hardware equipment, such as tents, sleeping bags, power supplies, and cars. wait.


    ??Mona was also a little speechless. She took out a bag of potato chips, tore open the package, and said while eating:


    Looking at the beautiful woman setting up a tent with Lacey not far away, Luo An, who was handling charcoal, twitched the corner of his mouth:


    ��Who is this woman?��


    ??Originally, the two planned to bring a few fishing rods, but during this period, Wyoming''s Department of Ecological Conservation banned fishing, which made Roan and Winslow feel very regretful and unable to compare who was the Air Force captain.


    Although she still didn''t understand why Luo An cared about the lake house, when she heard the word "dead wife", Mona immediately rolled her eyes, hit Luo An **** the arm, then took a sip of the beer and said :


    ��As for food, it��s all in the trunk of the SUV, including beef, mutton, vegetables, and fruits.


    When we exchanged food and said hello later, we realized that the older man and woman were indeed their parents, but the younger children were not their biological children, but children adopted from the orphanage due to physical reasons.


    ??One group was a young couple who pitched their tent deep in the woods. After setting up the tent, the two of them got in and never came out. The tent would occasionally shake a few times.


    Because Luo An and others arrived early, they chose a good location. They pitched their tent in an open area surrounded by woods. When they opened the tent, they could see the lake in the distance, and the view was excellent.


    ��By the way, what food have you brought?��


    ?There are also a lot of snacks. Once everyone has set up the tent, they can have a barbecue. "


    Obviously, she had premeditated it. "


    Winslow, who had taken care of the tent, also came over at this time. While helping Luo An take care of the barbecue grill, he rolled his eyes and said:


    ��I asked why Lacey specifically asked me to buy her a two-person tent.


    ������xN


    Luo An and the others also smiled and nodded at Evelin. When the other party''s figure disappeared completely, you grabbed Lacey and asked:


    ��What��s going on with you?��


    "What''s going on?" Lacey grabbed the potato chips and stuffed a handful into her mouth.


    ?Seeing that Roan, Winslow, Mona, as well as Chenelle and Michelle who had also set up the tent, all looked at her and said nothing, Lacey wiped her hands, raised her head with her hands on her hips, and said quite proudly:


    ��If I hadn��t sold my **** to convince Evelin, how could we have gotten such a good camping site?


    I suffered a big loss, you should thank me, okay? I want to eat the best portion of the barbecue later! "


    ����


    ??Everyone rolled their eyes, didn''t bother to talk to Lacey, and started to help prepare the barbecue ingredients.


    Luo An set up the barbecue grill, grabbed the potato chips from Lacey''s hand, and said with a smile:


    ��I checked the weather forecast. It won��t rain but there will be wind tonight.


    ??Be careful tonight, don''t collapse the tent, and eventually the tent and people will be blown into the lake by the wind. "


    ��You��d better remember this yourself.��


    Lacie chuckled and whispered:


    ��You and Mona����


    Snapped-


    Before Lacey finished speaking, Mona came from behind and patted her arm gently, humming softly:


    ��Stop talking, come and help with the beef!��


    ��OK, no problem.��


    ??Lacie was not angry, she hugged Mona''s arm, turned to make a face at Roan, and reached out to **** the potato chips back.


    Then he discovered that Luo An had eaten all the potato chips, leaving only the packaging bag.


    ?Luo An wiped his hands and smiled:


    ��Remember to throw it into the garbage bag and don��t pollute the environment.��


    Lacie: ������


    Every member of the special investigation team has more or less experience in cooking, and they have grilled meat a lot. Together, they quickly produced many plates of delicious food.


    Winslow took out the cold beer and distributed it to everyone. Luo An handed little Jimmy a bottle of milk. Everyone ate barbecued vegetables, drank and chatted, watching the sunset slowly sinking into the lake in the distance. The atmosphere was warm and happy.


    Halfway through the meal, Evelin��s side also got off work. Lacey took her to the camping site. Everyone greeted her and drank beer and barbecue. Evelin quickly became familiar with everyone.


    ��To be honest, this is the first time I��ve eaten barbecue this way while camping. It��s really delicious.��


    Evelin took a bamboo stick and took a bite of the beef on it, her eyes shining and she nodded:


    ��Which chef baked this? Can you teach me?��


    Others also looked at Luo An with bright eyes, but their hands did not stop at all.


    ?Luo An picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth, smiled and waved his hand:


    ��You��re not really a chef, practice makes perfect.��


    Roan is not particularly familiar with American barbecue. Winslow took the lead at first, and he helped out as his deputy.


    Later, when I saw that there were a lot of bamboo sticks in the car, Mona was given a gift from the merchant when she bought the seasonings. In line with the principle of not wasting, Luo An used a dagger to cut the beef into small pieces, put it on the bamboo sticks, and roasted it according to Eastern techniques. Beef skewers.


    ??The Federation also has skewered barbecue, but the grilling method is wilder. Most of the meat is not cut into small pieces like in the East. Instead, it is a large piece of meat marinated with seasonings and grilled directly.


    After tasting a few bites of the beef skewers grilled using Eastern mysterious techniques, Evelyn, Winslow, Lacey and others called them "Amazing" and quickly ate them all.

 Chapter 783： barbecue, kids, fugitives

    Chapter 783 Barbecue, children, fugitives


    ��I didn��t expect beef to be so delicious when grilled like this.��


    Lacie bit off the last piece of beef on the bamboo stick and exclaimed while eating:


    ��Luo An, why haven��t you made this kind of barbecue before?��


    ??Luo An smiled and said nothing. Next to her, Cheniel was eating barbecue and drinking beer. Sweat broke out on her forehead. After putting down the beer, she fanned herself with her hands:


    ��This kind of barbecue is really delicious, but it��s too spicy.��


    "Really? I feel fine, Luo An didn''t put too much chili pepper."


    Michelle opened a new bottle of beer and handed it to Chenelle, smiling:


    ��I didn��t expect you to be so bad at eating spicy food.��


    Luo An knew that not many people in the Federation could eat spicy food, so he put very little chili pepper and mainly used cumin and fine salt. Unexpectedly, Chenier was still sweating from the spicy food.


    ??Roan took a bottle of milk from Little Jimmy and handed it to Chenelle, smiling:


    ��Drink some milk, milk will relieve the spiciness.��


    ��Thanks, but it��s okay, I��m okay.��


    "Thanks."


    ��Does the shop over there sell this kind of bamboo sticks?��


    ��There is no way to continue baking.��


    Chenelle took the milk and thanked her, but her hands didn''t stop moving. She felt as if she had been poisoned. The more she ate, the spicier it became, but the spicier it became, the more she wanted to eat it.


    Evelin finished eating the beef skewers in front of her. She saw that Luo An had a few more skewers in front of him and was too embarrassed to take them. Luo An smiled and handed them to him:


    ��It doesn��t matter, liking to eat is an affirmation of my cooking skills.��


    "All right."


    Evelin tilted her head and thought carefully, and finally shook her head:


    ��The information sold there is mostly water, fast food, and some tools needed in emergencies.


    ��Wait for me for a while, Evelyn, and try my handiwork later!��


    ��The grill on the oven is not big enough. If we cut the meat into smaller pieces, we should be able to cook a barbecue similar to this kind of meat skewers.��


    ? Luo An took a sip of beer, waved his hands and said:


    ��What?��


    ��The bamboo sticks were given as a gift when I bought something. They are not many and have been used up.��


    ��That makes sense!��


    Evelin smiled and thanked her. After Lacey finished her portion of meat skewers, she glanced around and saw that there was raw beef next to it, so she said:


    ��Luo An, let��s grill some more. This kind of meat skewers is so delicious.��


    Michelle and Chenelle''s expressions suddenly collapsed when they heard this, and a flash of regret also flashed in the eyes of Evelin and Winslow. Lacey thought for a while, patted Evelin on the shoulder and asked:


    Luo An put down his beer with a speechless expression and asked:


    ��Do you think the store sells bamboo sticks instead of wooden sticks? Is it because the store doesn��t want to?��


    ??? Before Roan could say anything, Lacey jumped up, pulled Winslow towards the oven, and said to Evelin at the same time:


    Luo An was not surprised. Bamboo sticks were not very common in the Federation. Yellowstone Park was a scenic spot and there were no normal shops in it.


    There really is no such thing as a bamboo stick. "


    Lacie smiled awkwardly, and Winslow next to her thought for a moment and said:


    Lacey sighed and was silent for a second. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she pointed to the branch not far away and said:


    ��What about those branches? How about cutting them into sticks and inserting them into the meat and roasting them?��


    ��OK!��


    Evelin nodded repeatedly, Roan smiled, and found a more comfortable position to continue eating barbecue. Together with Chenelle and Michelle next to him, the four of them chatted together.


    On the other side of the dining table, Winslow''s wife Lanita was eating meat and taking care of little Jimmy, while Mona sat next to her to help.


    The barbecue in front of the two of them was specially made by Luo An. There was no barbecue with chili pepper, so little Jimmy could eat less.


    ?But Mona��s mind was not on the barbecue. She was discussing children��s issues with Lanita in a low voice.


    ��You want to have a baby with Luo An?��


    Lanita was quite surprised to understand the meaning of Mona''s words. She glanced at Luo An not far away and asked in a low voice: "Aren''t you guys not married yet?"


    "I do not want to get married."


    Because of her parents�� divorce when she was a child, and her mother��s experience of raising her alone, Mona had an unspeakable fear of marriage.


    ?Mona didn��t want to say more about these things, so she gave a simple answer and brought the topic to the child again.


    Upon seeing this, Lanita didn��t ask too much about Mona��s past, she just asked in a low voice:


    ��Is it your idea to have a child, or is it Luo An��s?��


    ��That��s what I thought.��


    ??Mona picked up a napkin and wiped the oil stains on little Jimmy''s face in Lanita''s arms, and said with a smile:


    ��I want a child that belongs to me and Luo An.��


    ? Lanita��s brows moved slightly:


    ��Does Luo An know?��


    ��He knows...he always respects the decisions I make.��


    ??Mona glanced at Luo An not far away and said:


    ��That��s why I love him.��


    ?Seeing the expression on Mona''s face, Lanita''s eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible envy. As someone who has experienced it, she knew that this expression could not be faked.


    Suppressing the envy in her heart, Lanita approached Mona and asked in a low voice:


    ��So, what you want to ask is, what can be done to make it easier to conceive?��


    ?Mona nodded and whispered:


    ��Luo An and I have both had physical examinations, and everything is fine for both of us.


    ? Luo An and I have never taken any special measures to avoid Y, but for such a long time, there is still no movement. "


    ?Lanita raised her eyebrows slightly, reached out and covered little Jimmy''s ears, and asked in a low voice:


    ��You and Luo An, um...what have you always been like?��


    ??Mona''s face remained calm but her ears were red, and she answered the other person''s questions in a low voice. Their voices became lower and lower as they talked. Little Jimmy, whose ears were covered, yawned after eating the barbecue, and quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.


    At the same time, Roan, Evelyn, Chenelle and Michelle were chatting happily. Lacey and Winslow were studying barbecue together. I don��t know how the meat was roasted. Anyway, the two of them never stopped bickering. Pass.


    ��Good evening, everyone!��


    ?Suddenly, a male voice suddenly sounded, and the sound of everyone chatting in the camp disappeared instantly.


    Roan, Mona, Chenelle, and Michelle all stood up and turned their gazes to the direction of the sound. Winslow and Lacey also stopped arguing and turned around, even putting their hands behind their backs.


    ?After careful inspection, everyone discovered that there were two people coming, both white men who looked to be in their thirties. Both men were wearing police uniforms, but the styles of the police uniforms were slightly different.


    ��Oh oh oh, don��t get me wrong, everyone.��


    ??The movement of everyone in the camp getting up together also startled the two white men. They took a step back together, took out their police badges and showed them to everyone. The white man on the left said:


    ��My name is Frese, a police officer from Wyoming; his name is Duarte, a police officer from the next door state of Montana.��


    ??Yellowstone Park is a vast area and connects Wyoming, Montana and Idaho at the same time. It is the junction of three states.


    Seeing the two police badges and hearing the two introduce themselves, everyone in the camp breathed a sigh of relief.


    The detectives of the special investigation team habitually looked at Luo An. Luo An put down the bamboo stick, stretched out his hand towards the two policemen, and asked with a smile:


    ��Good evening, Mr. Police, you��re not off work at this late hour. Did you encounter any emergency?��


    xihao.


    Fleiss on the left stretched out his hand to shake hands with Luo An and said with a smile:


    ��We have received notification that a murderer has recently escaped near Yellowstone Park. Our trip is to inform the campers to pay more attention and call the police if something is wrong.��


    The expressions of everyone in the camp changed slightly. Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��Mr. Police, could you please introduce the appearance and name of the murderer?��


    Fleiss frowned slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Luo An took out the golden badge in his pocket:


    ��FBI.��


    ��?!��x2


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 784： Very high room for improvement

    Chapter 784: High room for improvement


    ?At seven o''clock in the evening, at a relatively remote camping site in Yellowstone Park, a bonfire illuminated nearby tents and dining tables, and the orange-red flames attracted human attention.


    ��FBI?!��


    ??Seeing the golden badge in Luo An''s hand, the Wyoming police officer named Fleiss suddenly widened his eyes and was quite surprised.


    ?The policeman beside him named Duarte, who came from the neighboring state of Montana, opened his mouth in shock.


    ��Hello, Mr. FBI.��


    After a brief absence of concentration, Fleiss was the first to react. He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Luo An again, with an even bigger smile on his face:


    ��I didn��t expect that today would be such a coincidence that I would meet an FBI agent here for a camping vacation.��


    Before Roan could speak, Duart suddenly remembered the scene where everyone in the camp suddenly stood up. Winslow and Lacey even subconsciously put their hands behind their backs, so he laughed dryly and asked:


    ��I wonder who these are?��


    ��We are all FBI.��


    ??Lacie chuckled, took out the FBI''s golden badge from her pocket and waved it, then raised her eyebrows at Duarte and said:


    ��We just happened to come here for a gathering today.��


    ?? They never expected that they would encounter so many FBI agents in a simple notification mission.


    ??Everyone rolled their eyes. Seeing that Lacey was going to the oven to improve her skills, Luo An quickly reached out and pulled her back to her position, asking her to waste less ingredients, and then said:


    ��What��s a murderer doing in Yellowstone? This is no place to hide from the police.


    The two police officers, Fres and Duart, briefly described the identity information and appearance of the two murderers, and finally said with a smile:


    ��Since you are all FBI, we definitely don��t need to worry about security.��


    ������x2


    The two police officers, Frese and Duarte, looked at each other and saw the speechlessness and shock in each other''s eyes.


    ��Isn��t it delicious?��


    ??However, meeting a group of FBI also has its advantages. Fleiss quickly reacted and answered Luo An��s previous question:


    ��The notification we received stated that there are two murderers, one male and one female, about thirty years old..."


    Chenelle rolled her eyes at Lacey without saying a word. Lacey stuffed the beef into her mouth, tasted it carefully for a few seconds, then spit the meat aside and said with a serious face:


    ��It seems there is room for improvement in my barbecue skills.��


    At the end of the sentence, Chenelle spit out all the roast meat that she had just put into her mouth. She looked at the red and black objects with shock on her face:


    ��Lacie, what did you bake?��


    Lacey��s face looked a little unhappy. She picked up a piece of beef and asked:


    ��OK.��


    Lacie brought a piece of roasted meat to the dining table, frowned slightly and said:


    Lacie, Mona and others carefully thought about the appearance of the murderer described by the two policemen. Luo An smiled and said to them:


    ��If we find out about the situation, we will definitely contact you.��


    ��I didn��t expect that during an ordinary camping trip, I would encounter a murderer?��


    ��Roast beef.��


    ��Is there a possibility that the murderer just wanted to find those hot springs?��


    ??The figures of the two policemen slowly disappeared. Everyone in the camp looked at each other and sat down again to chat, but the lively atmosphere was much lower than before.


    ?Those wild wolves, grizzly bears, and hot springs that can burn people to death or even dissolve them are all dangerous for fugitives. "


    Chenelle picked up a piece of barbecue made by Lacey, stuffed it into her mouth and said:


    "As far as I know, those hot springs are quite terrifying. They are enough to boil a person alive and melt them, leaving no bones left. That is an excellent opportunity to destroy the body and eliminate traces... Bah! Bah! Bah!"


    ?Fres and Duat smiled and nodded, then exchanged a few words with Luo An, then turned and left. There were many other tourists camping not far away, and they still needed to visit one by one to inform them.


    ��Since a murderer is suspected, everyone should be more careful when sleeping tonight and don��t sleep too hard.��


    "no problem."


    ?Everyone nodded in unison, and after a few simple chats, the topic shifted to other things, and the atmosphere became much more lively. Winslow quickly finished making his American barbecue and brought it to the table for everyone to taste. After eating, everyone unanimously agreed that Lacey''s barbecue skills did have a lot of room for improvement.


    Lacie: ������


    Amidst the laughter and laughter, the time came to about ten o''clock in the evening. The group simply packed away the tableware and went back to the tents to prepare for rest.


    ?Looking at Lacey pulling Evelin into the tent and eagerly zipping it up, Luo An clicked his tongue and shook his head, turning around and returning to his tent.


    ??Mona was preparing a sleeping bag. When she saw Luo An''s movements, she narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice:


    ��Why, are you envious?��


    ��Yes, I am indeed a bit envious.��


    ?Luo An chuckled, and before Mona could get angry, he hugged Mona and whispered:


    ��I��m envious that Lacey��s barbecue skills still have so much room for improvement. Unlike me, I can just grill some meat and make you want to eat it again.��


    "snort."


    ??Mona rolled her eyes at Luo An, hummed softly without saying anything, changed her clothes and packed her sleeping bag, and the two of them lay down to sleep.


    Not long after, under the quiet night sky, a faint voice came to Luo An''s ears. Luo An opened his eyes speechlessly, glanced in the direction of Lacey''s tent, turned around, and prepared to shield the other party with his own spirit.


    ?At this moment, a hand suddenly got into Luo An''s sleeping bag. Luo An was stunned and turned around, looked at Mona and whispered:


    "Don''t tell me that you didn''t hear what happened to Lacey."


    ?Thinking of some words taught by Winslow''s wife Lanita, Mona''s eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, her ears turned red, the movements of her hands increased a bit, and she whispered:


    "Of course I heard it, so Luo An, be careful and don''t make a sound."


    ?)


    ? Luo An��s mouth twitched. When these words came out of Mona��s mouth, something seemed not right.


    Before he could speak, some of Mona''s actions made Luo An''s face change slightly. He looked at Mona in surprise:


    "Shut up!"


    ??Mona raised her head and covered Luo An''s mouth with her own, bit Luo An''s lips hard, and whispered:


    ��I just said it, don��t make a sound!��


    ??Luo An didn��t speak and had no chance to resist, because Mona pressed **** him...


    No words all night.


    At less than seven o''clock the next morning, Luo An unzipped the tent and got out of the tent. The cool and very fresh air in the forest slowly hit his face with the breeze, which made Luo An instantly energetic.


    "Good morning."


    ??Luo An stretched his waist, and Winslow, who had gotten up earlier than him, came over from the oven with two cups of hot coffee.


    Winslow handed one of the cups of coffee to Roan, and then looked at the smooth mirror-like lake not far away under the sunrise and breeze, as well as the occasional birds flying over the lake, and showed a faint smile:


    ��The time we came here was not very good. This lake is really suitable for fishing.��


    ??Luo An was speechless when he heard Winslow''s words. He thought he was going to say something casual and elegant, or a famous quote, but in the end he was just thinking about fishing.


    Superficial!


    ?Luo An took a sip of hot coffee and said:


    ��Be sure to plan this information in advance next time you go camping and prepare a few more fishing rods. Let��s fish together and see who can catch the biggest fish.��


    The two turned to look at each other, picked up their coffees, touched them, and laughed together.


    ?Not long after, other people in the camp woke up one after another. The group had a simple breakfast, packed their things and prepared to leave.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 785： The officer who succeeded Mr. Clement

    Chapter 785 The Chief who took over Mr. Clement��s position


    ?In line with the principle of protecting the environment, Luo An and his team loaded all the tents, ovens, etc. into the truck, collected all the garbage and took it away, and cleaned up the camping site.


    ?Roan and others drove two large SUVs. The Winslows and Michelle took one car, and Roan, Mona and Chenelle drove another car.


    As for Lacey, she said she would send Evelin back first and then follow up with the large force of the special investigation team.


    ??Everyone started the car and set off, with Luo An driving in front and Winslow driving behind.


    In the passenger seat, Mona was typing on the keyboard of her laptop, and occasionally yawned loudly. It was obvious that she had not slept well last night.


    After a moment, Mona stopped moving and frowned slightly:


    ��Roan, I found the information about the two policemen, Fres and Duat, last night. There is no problem with their identities.


    But I couldn��t find any information about the pair of murderers they mentioned. "


    Chenelle, who was playing with her mobile phone in the back seat, was quite surprised when she heard this and asked:


    ��Did those two policemen panic and lie to us?��


    ��I don��t know, I don��t understand, I don��t want to guess.��


    ?Humicide can attract a lot of attention in the East, and it might even make the news.


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction:


    "All right."


    A familiar male voice came from the other end of the phone. He said in a happy tone:


    ??But in the liberal and democratic federation, unless the deceased has a special identity or the death method is special, it is just the death of an individual. It is too common. Let alone TV news, community news may not have its place.


    ?Luo An simply modified the three principles of being a scumbag and said with a smile:


    ��The Federation is the most liberal and democratic country in the world. The number of people who die from gun violence every day is around 113, and there are countless murder cases. The people are very simple.


    ?The car was quiet for a moment, and Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and pressed the answer button:


    Hello, this is Roan Greenwood.


    ��Scare women with the murderer and then pick them up?��


    We are here for a camping vacation these days. We can finally take a break from the case for a few days. There is no need to interfere with other people''s cases. "


    ?Mona was silent for a few seconds, then raised her head and said:


    Luo An, who was driving, smiled and asked:


    "What do they gain by lying to us about this kind of thing?"


    ?Mona rolled her eyes, closed her laptop, and asked:


    ��Then what do you think is going on?��


    ��Good morning, Roan.��


    ��The ideas are clear and the starting point is interesting.��


    ??The word "don''t care about other people''s business" is the most useful life experience summarized with blood and tears by the people at the bottom of the Federation.


    ��It��s me, Trick Kennedy.��


    ??Mona understood the meaning behind Luo An''s words, nodded and put the computer aside and stopped asking. Chenille also sat back down and continued to fiddle with her phone.


    Jingle Bell-


    ��Don��t set out again.��


    ? Luo An has already left the bottom and moved to the upper middle class, but the word "mind your own business" is still very useful in many cases.


    Luo An was a little surprised to hear the other party��s identity, but he still smiled and said hello:


    ��Good morning, sir!��


    ?Trick Kennedy, FBI Washington Headquarters, Deputy Director of the Insider Threat Office, Luo An first met him during the [First Lady Bombing Case] ??(Chapter 221)


    ? Later, Luo An entered the Washington headquarters, and he entrusted Luo An to investigate and handle the [Arms Dealer Xiaodao Case] ??(Chapter 514). Shortly after the conclusion of this case, Trick Kennedy successfully became a regular official and became the director of the Internal Threat Office.


    ? During this period, Luo An was invited by Trick Kennedy and went to his house for dinner.


    ?? Later, when Luo An was investigating and handling other cases, he also kept in contact with Trick Kennedy. There was no conflict between the two and the relationship was pretty good.


    With these things flashing through his mind, Trick Kennedy''s voice on the other end of the phone was very happy. Thinking of Mr. Clement''s promotion to the Ministry of Justice, Luo An''s eyes moved slightly and he smiled:


    ��Sounds like you��re in a good mood today, sir.��


    ��Yeah.�� Trick Kennedy on the other end of the phone didn��t show off and said with a smile:


    ��Mr. Clement has been promoted to the Department of Justice, and I have just received an order from the Director to take over his position.��


    ��Wow, that��s great news, congratulations, sir!��


    ??While Luo An congratulated loudly, a flash of realization flashed in his eyes.


    Although he had a good relationship with Trick Kennedy, Roan really did not think that he would take over Mr. Clement��s position.


    After all, the surname Kennedy, and the story behind it, are a bit too complicated.


    ?But thinking about it from another perspective, the fact that the Kennedy family has been able to make it this far shows that they still have a lot of connections and support behind them.


    ?Trick Kennedy''s ability to take over Mr. Clement''s position is surprising, but in a sense it is also reasonable. After all, one of the rules of the federal game is the exchange of interests.


    Hearing Luo An��s congratulations and words of congratulations, Trick Kennedy on the other end of the phone was even happier. While talking and laughing, he did not forget the real purpose of his call and said:


    "Luo An, today is Sunday, and there will be a charity dinner at the Kennedy family estate at eight o''clock next Saturday. I have sent someone to send you an invitation. You must attend."


    "charity dinner?"


    ?? Luo An had some thoughts flashing through his mind, but his tone did not change at all, and he asked with a smile:


    ��Sir, could you please tell me what type of charity dinner it is? I��ll see if I need to prepare it in advance.��


    ��The specific content is in the invitation letter. You will know it after you look back.��


    ?Trick Kennedy on the other end of the phone laughed and said:


    ��As for preparations, you only need to come to the dinner party, no other preparations are needed.��


    ��Wow, thank you sir.��


    ?Luo An didn��t take what Trick Kennedy said to heart. Out of etiquette, there was no shortage of preparations.


    ?However, Trick Kennedy''s subsequent words also revealed a lot of information, for example, the other party now attaches great importance to himself.


    ??After a brief discussion, Trick Kennedy once again emphasized that Luo An must attend the dinner, and then hung up the phone.


    In the passenger seat, Mona frowned and asked in a low voice:


    ��Roan, is this Chief Trick Kennedy?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An nodded and put away the phone. Mona was silent for a while and asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, the matter of the Kennedy family...��


    ?Chenelle, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, looked at Luo An very solemnly at this time.


    The assassination of President Kennedy is definitely one of the stories that cannot be erased in the history of the Union and will always be remembered.


    What is the real truth behind that incident is still unknown to the public. Only a bunch of possibilities and conspiracy theories are known.


    Whatever the truth, the Kennedy family has been associated with trouble in the eyes of many.


    ?Based on this idea, neither Mona nor Chenelle wanted to have too much connection between Roan and the Kennedy family.


    ��Don��t worry, I��m fine.��


    Facing the worried eyes of the two women, Luo An smiled and told them not to worry too much.


    Luo An had also seriously considered the interest disputes behind the Kennedy family before, but when Mr. Clement was promoted to the Department of Justice and Trick Kennedy took over, Luo An realized another thing.


    That is, Mr. Clement has already had contact with the Kennedy family and has exchanged interests.


    Coupled with the camp selection mentioned by Mr. Clement before, Luo An''s mind was spinning rapidly and he already had his own ideas.


    Just as Mona was about to continue talking, Luo An''s cell phone rang again. After pressing the answer button, Lacey''s voice came out:


    ��Luo An, someone is looking for you.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 786： Bounty

    Chapter 786 Bounty


    Ten o''clock in the morning, Federal Yellowstone Park, a certain highway.


    ��Someone is looking for me?��


    Hearing what Lacey said on the other end of the phone, Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:


    "who is it?"


    Lacey on the other end of the phone didn��t say anything and directly handed the phone to another person. A middle-aged male voice came and said with a smile:


    ��Hello, Team Leader Greenwood, my name is Cabot, and I come from a toy company in Wyoming.��


    ��Hello, Mr. Cabot.��


    Luo An said hello casually and asked with some confusion:


    "What do you find me for?"


    ��It��s not convenient to discuss the matter in detail on the phone.��


    Cabot on the other end of the phone smiled and asked:


    ��Excuse me, where is Team Leader Greenwood now? Can we have an interview?��


    He had to wait for Lacey for a while anyway, so Luo An did not reject her and said:


    ��Okay, I��ll be at an exit somewhere in the southern part of Yellowstone Park right away.��


    ��Okay, we��ll be there soon.��


    Cabot on the other end of the phone smiled and agreed, and hung up the phone simply. Chenelle in the back seat was a little confused:


    ��What does this person want to see you for?��


    "have no idea."


    ??Luo An put his cell phone in his pocket. Mona, who was in the passenger seat, opened her laptop again. After typing on the keyboard for a while, she raised her head and said:


    "I checked the identity of Mr. Cabot. He is indeed from the toy company in Wyoming and is the secretary to the president of that toy company."


    At the exit, Luo An slowly slowed down the SUV and asked:


    ��What��s going on with that toy company recently?��


    "No."


    ?Mona typed on the computer keyboard a few times and spread her hands:


    ��The toy company is currently operating normally and has a healthy financial situation, and there is no news of anything amiss within the company.��


    Slowly parking the SUV into the parking space, Luo An waved his hand and said:


    ��I��ll find out what the other person wants from me when we meet later.��


    ��Also good.��


    ??Mona and Chenelle stopped asking, and they got out of the car and walked to the bathroom not far away together. Not long after Luo An sat in the car and waited, a Porsche sedan drove over from the other direction.


    The Porsche car slowly parked not far from the SUV. Lacey took the lead to get out of the back seat of the car. Then the passenger door opened. A white man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a suit and ties and wearing black glasses, joined Lacey. Go to the SUV.


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    Luo An got out of the car, and the other party smiled and reached out to shake his hand. After a few brief greetings, he and Luo An walked to a deserted corner not far away.


    Luo An glanced at Lacey, Mona and others gathered not far away, and asked directly:


    ��Mr. Cabot, what do you want from me?��


    Cabot didn��t talk nonsense when he saw this. He took out two photos from his pocket and handed them to Luo An, explaining:


    ��That��s it, Captain Greenwood, I would like to ask you to lead a team to help capture these two people.��


    ??In the two photos that Cabot handed over, there happened to be a man and a woman. Luo An took them and narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��These two seem to be murderous fugitives that the police are hunting for?��


    ��That��s right, it��s them.��


    Cabot nodded heavily and explained:


    ��The person this man and woman killed was the newly born granddaughter of our company��s president.��


    Cabot said that the granddaughter of the president of his superior toy company was assassinated and lost her life not long after she was born and before she left the hospital.


    ?The local police quickly investigated and quickly identified the man and woman as the murderers, and began to arrest them.


    Unexpectedly, the man and woman had strong anti-tracking abilities. They escaped from the local police several times and fled into Yellowstone Park.


    ??The president of the toy company was extremely angry when he heard the news. While yelling at the police for their incompetence, he also issued rewards to some detective agencies and asked Secretary Cabot to personally lead people to participate in the arrest.


    Cabot led the team into Yellowstone Park but still found nothing. It happened that he heard from two police officers early this morning that Luo An and others were camping and vacationing here. Cabot had heard in the past that Luo An was the best investigative team member at the FBI''s Washington headquarters. Because of his long reputation, he immediately decided to seek help from him.


    Cabot finished the simple explanation and finally said with a serious face:


    "The president of our company has offered a reward of 800,000 US dollars for the capture of the man and woman. As long as you, Captain Greenwood, can lead the team to catch them, I guarantee that your harvest will be much more." Luo An did not agree immediately, he quietly He looked at Cabot for a few seconds, then shook the photo and said with a smile:


    ��We are here for a camping vacation this time, and handling cases and arresting people is really not part of our plan.


    I am not the only one in the special investigation team. I need to talk to my team members to see what they think. "


    "no problem."


    Cabot nodded repeatedly and moved out of the way, smiling:


    ��As long as the pair of murderers are caught, your team members will definitely get what they deserve.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An replied casually, holding the photo and walking towards the SUV not far away.


    ?Mona, Lacey, Chenelle, Michelle and Winslow were all waiting on the side of the SUV. After listening to Roan''s description, Lacey curled her lips and said:


    "I knew it must be related to the male and female murderers."


    ??Mona frowned slightly, opened her laptop again and started typing on the keyboard:


    ��How come I didn��t find any information about this matter?��


    ��Maybe it��s the president of the toy company who doesn��t want to make the matter a big deal and affect the company��s business or stock price.��


    Chenier said something casually, and Luo An was noncommittal, looked at everyone, and asked:


    ��What do you think?��


    ��I think you can give it a try.��


    Winslow was the first to express his stance, nodding his head and saying:


    ��Anyway, we are on vacation recently and there are no formal cases to deal with.��


    ��I think it��s okay too.��


    Lacie nodded immediately, spread her hands, and said with a smile:


    "The reward of 800,000 US dollars is not much, but it is not much. If you can catch the murderer, you will make extra money. If you can''t, there will be no loss."


    ��800,000 U.S. dollars can only be considered ��a lot�� to you?��


    Chenelle patted Lacey''s shoulder hard and said with a smile:


    ��You��re a little levitating, Lacey.��


    ��I can��t help it, the team leader is so good, my appetite has been whetted.��


    Lacey smiled and gave Luo An a thumbs up. Luo An slapped it away, looked at the others and asked:


    "what about you?"


    "I''m OK."


    ?Chenelle and Michelle didn��t mind making some extra money. Mona closed her laptop and nodded, indicating that she had no problem.


    ��OK.��


    Roan turned around when he saw this, waved to Cabot who was waiting, and said with a smile:


    ��We can help catch these two murderers.��


    Cabot''s face lit up, and just as he was about to speak, Luo An added:


    ��But before we start arresting people, there are some things that need to be explained in advance.


    First, we only have pistols on us now, and you need to prepare some other equipment for us.


    Second, during the arrest process, if the FBI headquarters in Washington temporarily sends us a message that something is wrong, we will withdraw midway.


    Third, you need to provide us with the identity information of the two murderers, their escape route and other information. "


    "no problem!"


    ?Cabot nodded repeatedly. These requests were not excessive at all. He agreed to them all, and then took out his mobile phone to contact his subordinates and asked them to come quickly to deliver the things.


    Cabot hung up the phone, Luo An thought for a while, and then said:


    ��By the way, call the president of the company, I need to talk to him.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Cabot nodded, found his phone and dialed the number. The moment the call was connected, Luo An suddenly reached out and grabbed the phone, and then kicked Cabot away with a whip!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 787： solve

    Chapter 787 Solution


    �O


    There was a muffled sound of muscles colliding, and Cabot felt a huge force hitting himself, and then he flew out.


    ��?!��


    ??Luo An''s movement was too sudden. Not only did Cabot, who fell heavily to the ground, fail to react, but the four girls next to him, Mona and Lacey, also had their eyes widened with surprise.


    Winslow reacted quickly at this time. Although he didn��t know why Roan did this, he still pounced and suppressed Cabot hard:


    "do not move!"


    ??In the Porsche car next to him, the driver responsible for driving Cabot was also startled. He quickly opened the car door, took out his pistol, and shouted:


    "You all��"


    ��FBI! Put the gun down!��


    "Raise your hand!"


    Before the driver finished speaking, Lacey, Mona, Chenelle and Michelle, who had already reacted, all took out their pistols, aimed them at the driver and ordered him to put down his weapons. Lacey shouted the loudest:


    "Hold your head in your hands and lie on the ground! Hurry! Lie on the ground!"


    ����


    Looking at the black muzzles of the four pistols in front of him, the driver twitched his mouth, thought about his salary, and finally threw the pistol aside and slowly lay on the ground.


    ??Lacie and Chenelle hurriedly stepped forward and kicked the pistol to Michelle, and then firmly controlled the driver. Mona breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Roan, and asked:


    ��Luo An, you...��


    ��Leader Greenwood! What do you mean?!��


    As soon as Mona started to speak, Cabot, who was pressed to the ground beside him, yelled angrily:


    "Are you sick? I''m asking you to help catch the two murderers. Why are you catching me?"


    ?Cabot''s face turned red and he struggled wildly, but Winslow was pressing on him tightly, and Cabot couldn''t move even after struggling for a long time.


    ??Luo An patted Mona on the shoulder and said not to worry, then ignored Cabot who was yelling and yelling, picked up the phone and said:


    ��Hello, Mr. President, I am Roan Greenwood.��


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    ??An old but energetic male voice sounded on the phone, saying:


    ��Just call me Jameson, Mr. President is too foreign.


    Cabot told me before that he is going to ask you for help, and I am very grateful to Team Leader Greenwood for his willingness to help.


    ?But I seemed to hear some noises on the phone just now. Can Leader Greenwood explain why you did this? "


    President Jameson on the other end of the phone spoke slowly and calmly.


    ?Luo An smiled and said without showing off:


    ��President Jameson, I do this for two main reasons.


    First of all, you are the main party involved in the case. Some things are best discussed with you rather than hearsay from others.


    Second, when Mr. Cabot was chatting with me just now, I found that he told me a lot of lies. I suspected that he was related to the two murderers, so I took action against him and let my agents control him. Live him. "


    ��You fart!��


    ??Hearing Luo An''s words, Cabot''s eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible shock and horror, but the expression on his face became even more angry, and his yelling became a little louder:


    ��I can see it! You, the so-called leader of the best investigative team at the FBI��s Washington headquarters, got your reputation by slandering good people! You��re such a cousin����


    ?Cabot couldn''t curse anymore because Mona found a camping napkin and stuffed it into his mouth.


    ��Captain Greenwood, did you find that Cabot lied to you?��


    Jameson on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��What did he say?��


    Jameson''s tone changed slightly. He now wanted to conclude that Roan had made a mistake and that Cabot was fine.


    ??But he had also heard of the name of Team Leader Roan Greenwood through certain channels in the past, and knew of his top-notch case-handling abilities.? ? ? ? If Luo An is not mistaken, it means there is something wrong with Cabot... Jameson''s face suddenly darkened.


    ??Across the phone, Luo An didn''t know what was going on in Jameson''s mind. He replied quietly:


    ��Cabot just said that the murderers were in Yellowstone. That was a lie.��


    When meeting a stranger, the "emotional perception" that immediately comes to mind has been cultivated by Luo An into a subconscious reaction.


    ??When Cabot introduced the case just now, he said that there were two murderers, a man and a woman, who killed President Jameson''s newborn granddaughter in the hospital, and then the local police began to arrest them.


    Everything is normal at this point, and "emotional perception" determines that these are true.


    Cabot went on to say later that the man and woman had strong counter-reconnaissance capabilities and escaped police tracking several times on their own, and finally managed to escape into Yellowstone Park and escape capture.


    From here on, Luo An discovered with the "emotional perception" in his mind that everything the other party told was lies.


    ?That is to say, the murderer and his wife did not have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. They did not get rid of the police on their own, and they did not enter Yellowstone Park.


    Cabot knew that the murderers were not in the park, but he still led a search inside the park. Coupled with the previous conclusion that the murderers and men were not strong in counter-detection capabilities, they could not escape the police on their own. The combination of the two, Luo Ann immediately came to a conclusion:


    There is a connection between Cabot and the male and female murderers. Even if they were able to escape capture, it was Cabot''s help.


    The search for the two men in Yellowstone Park was most likely a cover created by Cabot.


    ??The reason why Cabot came to Luo An and others was that Luo An guessed that Cabot had probably not bribed everyone around him, and those people should be President Jameson''s spies.


    ??The news that Luo An and others were on vacation in Yellowstone Park was heard by Cabot at the same time as those informants.


    The name Roan Greenwood has already gained a very good reputation at some levels in the Federation.


    ?In order not to attract the attention of those informants and avoid arousing the suspicion of President Jameson, Cabot could only take the initiative to find Luo An and ask him for help.


    After listening to Luo An��s statement, Cabot, who was pressed to the ground, his eyes were full of disbelief and fear, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.


    ??He never expected that after just a brief chat with Luo An, Luo An would make guesses about what he had done, and there were almost no mistakes or omissions!


    ??Luo An ignored Cabot and continued to speak on the phone:


    ��President Jameson, it shouldn��t be too difficult for you to check what Cabot has done before.


    Since the murderer and his wife have escaped capture and have been missing for so long, it wouldn��t be a waste of time to check Cabot��s side, don��t you think? "


    ��You are right, Captain Greenwood.��


    Jameson on the other end of the phone replied casually, and then the phone lost its sound. Luo An was not in a hurry, went to the trunk of the SUV, found a box of fruit and started eating it.


    ?Time passed minute by minute, and about five minutes later, Jameson��s voice sounded on the phone again, with a scary and cold tone:


    ��Team Leader Greenwood��s judgment is very accurate. Cabot has indeed done something secretly.��


    ?While being extremely angry, Jameson was also extremely shocked in his heart. He knew about Luo An''s reputation and excellent case-handling abilities, but he had only heard about it from others in the past and had never actually met Luo An.


    After experiencing it personally today, Jameson realized that the word "best" was rumored to mean the most outstanding leader of the investigation team at the FBI''s Washington headquarters. Jameson even felt that the word "best" was still a little bit... Low!


    Behind the SUV, Luo An put the fruit aside and asked with a smile:


    ��Mr. Jameson, do you need me to lead a team to arrest the murderers?��


    There were not many clues at hand. Luo An could not guess why Cabot did what he did, nor did he know what the connection was between him and the man and woman. However, since the man had been caught, everything that followed was easy to tell.


    ��I don��t need to trouble you with this little matter, Captain Greenwood.��


    Jameson on the other end of the phone briefly exchanged greetings and finally said:


    ��Don��t worry, Captain Greenwood, the promised reward will not be small at all. I will handle the rest.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An agreed, threw his cell phone to the Porsche driver not far away, then spread his hands towards the agents and said with a smile:


    ��The case is resolved and we will continue to take a rest and vacation.��

 Chapter 788： How to become a good FBI

    Chapter 788 How to become a good FBI


    At 11 o''clock at noon, a certain entrance and exit in the southern part of the federal Yellowstone Park.


    From the side of the SUV, Mona, Lacey, Chenelle and Michelle looked at each other and saw the shock and disbelief in each other''s eyes when they saw Luo An smiling slightly and saying that the case had been solved.


    ?Just when everyone didn��t know what to say, little Jimmy��s excited shouting suddenly rang out from another SUV next to him:


    ��You are so handsome! Uncle Luo An!��


    ??While Luo An and the special investigation team were discussing whether to take the case, Winslow''s wife Lanita and their child Jimmy were sitting in the SUV next to them, waiting.


    ??Later, Luo An kicked Cabot away, and when he was on the phone with President Jameson to analyze the case, Lanita and Little Jimmy also listened to it.


    Little Jimmy was too young to understand the specific circumstances of the case, but he figured out another thing, that is, Luo An solved a case just by chatting with Cabot for a while!


    Lanita was shocked by this, and little Jimmy��s eyes were full of admiration for Luo An, and he clapped his hands and shouted loudly:


    ��Uncle Luo An! I will become an outstanding and powerful FBI like you in the future!��


    "Yeah?"


    ??Roan patted Mona on the shoulder and asked her and Cheniel to handle the handover work behind. Then he walked to the side of the SUV and smiled with Lanita, reached out and rubbed little Jimmy''s head, and said:


    ��Then you should study hard in the future.��


    ��I will definitely work hard!��


    ?Little Jimmy nodded heavily, and then asked with admiration:


    ��Uncle Luo An, apart from those books in school, what else can I do to be as good as you?��


    Luo An was silent for a second, made a little joke, and said with a smile:


    ��You just need to be as handsome as me.��


    ?Lanita smiled and rubbed little Jimmy''s head without saying anything. Lacey and Mona on the side rolled their eyes slightly, but little Jimmy was stunned for a moment and turned his head to Winslow next to him.


    Winslow was pressing Cabot to the ground at this time. Little Jimmy looked at Winslow''s face, suddenly his mouth dropped, his eyes turned red and he started crying. He turned around and threw himself into the arms of his mother Lanita, Sobbed:


    ��Mom, I can��t become a handsome and powerful FBI like Uncle Luo An!��


    ������xN


    ? Winslow: "?"


    ����


    President Jameson moved very quickly. Before long, a group of men in suits arrived at the entrance to the park and took away Secretary Cabot.


    The leader, the bald man in a suit, also handed Luo An an envelope. There was a check in the envelope. The number on the check was not much, only 1 million US dollars.


    ??While Luo An was looking at the check, the bald man in a suit then took out a light gold business card and said:


    ��Leader Greenwood, this is the contact information of our president, I hope you can accept it.��


    ?After a phone call, President Jameson was fully aware of Roan Greenwood��s ability to handle cases.


    ??Coupled with the fact that Luo An reached the position of leader of the special investigation team before he was thirty years old, President Jameson realized that there must be something special behind him, and it was very necessary to make friends with this kind of person.


    ��OK.��


    With a little thought, Luo An guessed what the other party was thinking. It would be good for him to make more friends, so he didn''t refuse. He took the business card and put it away with a smile.


    ??The bald man in a suit smiled, exchanged a few brief words and escorted Cabot away from here. Luo An also returned to the SUV with the check and drove out of Yellowstone Park.


    As per the old rules in the past, Roan took away $400,000, Mona, Lacey, Chenelle, Winslow, and Michelle each did not receive $100,000, and the remaining $100,000 was kept to pay taxes. Funds for the special investigation team have been put in to handle the case.


    The moment the text message rang, the atmosphere in the two SUVs suddenly became lively. The people who originally planned to have a simple meal at noon went to a well-known restaurant to have a Wyoming special meal before taking a flight back to Washington, D.C. . Roan and Mona returned to the villa that night, cleaned up briefly, then went back to their respective bedrooms to rest and sleep.


    In the next few days, everyone in the investigation team continued to take vacations and have fun.


    ??Mona and Lacey go out shopping every day. At first they want to drag Luo An with them, but Luo An sees at a glance the sinister intentions of the two women who want him to carry things.


    ??Luo An decisively chose to run away and drove to the boxing training gym where Chenelle often went to practice boxing with Chenelle and Winslow.


    Chenelle is a woman after all, and the natural physical differences between men and women cannot be smoothed out after all, so she and Luo An briefly played a few rounds before decisively choosing to give up and jump out of the field to let Winslow take over.


    ??Looking at Luo An, who was smiling in the middle of the field, wearing a full set of protective gear, and playing with Chenelle for nearly half an hour, with not much sweat on his forehead, Winslow raised a disdainful smile on his lips, stood up...


    ?Step back and admit defeat, letting Luo An find someone else to be his sparring partner.


    ������xN


    Facing Chenille��s speechless gaze and the disdainful glances of other passers-by in the training gym, Winslow picked up the water glass and took a sip, selectively ignoring them all.


    ?Those passers-by didn''t know Luo An''s situation, but Winslow knew Luo An''s strength clearly.


    None of the killers and mercenaries in the previous cases were simple things. They even fell into Luo An''s hands in the face of many against one.


    Luo An��s terrifying reaction speed aside, he has muscles but is not exaggerated. He is the type that women like most. Many men will feel like ��dead muscles�� exercised in the gym.


    ??But only those who have fought against Luo An can understand what kind of terrifying power and explosion he possesses under his ordinary and well-proportioned figure, and his physical strength is quite durable.


    Winslow once bought comics for little Jimmy and saw a hero named Captain America. He once wondered whether Roan was like that guy and had received some kind of super serum.


    In the boxing training gym, a big man looked at the big man Winslow with disdain, then looked at the well-proportioned Chenille with a delicate face. He grinned, said hello to Luo An, put on his armor and walked in. Center of the field.


    Half an hour later, the big man and several other muscular men were exhausted, sweating profusely, and sat on the ground as if they had roots, unable to stand up.


    ?Several people looked at Luo An as if they had seen a ghost, their throats rolling and their eyes full of disbelief.


    To be fair, every move Luo An uses is traceable and very ordinary, as if he can be defeated with just a little more strength.


    ?However, the fact is that no matter how hard they try, Luo An will always stand there, but they themselves will fall.


    ??Looking at the time on the wall not far away, Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly, took off the armor on his head and left the venue. He wiped a few drops of sweat from his forehead and said to Chenier with a smile:


    ��The venue you picked is really good. Everyone is very humble. It gave me a good warm-up exercise.��


    Everyone: ������


    Under the complicated gazes of everyone, Luo An drove out of the boxing training gym, went to a large supermarket to buy some food, and returned to the villa to make dinner. There was another fierce battle waiting for him in the evening.


    ??A few days passed by quickly. At five o''clock on Saturday night, Luo An changed into a high-end suit, and Mona also changed into an expensive silver high-end dress.


    Putting on a pair of light-colored high heels, Mona stood in front of the mirror and swayed her body. She looked at her beautiful self for a few times. She turned to look at Luo An next to her and asked:


    ��Didn��t Chief Trick Kennedy invite you to the dinner? Why do you want me to go?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 789： Admission to dinner

    Chapter 789: Dinner Party Entrance


    ��Because this is a charity dinner where female guests need to be brought along.��


    ??Luo An put on a men''s watch, then handed the invitation letter to Mona, and asked with a smile:


    ��If I don��t take you, who do you want me to take?��


    It is said to be an invitation, but it looks more like a European-style wooden box.


    ??Mona rolled her eyes at Luo An, took the wooden box and opened it, and found a black and gold letter inside. The content in the letter was the same as what Luo An said, and guests were required to bring female guests to the venue.


    ?In addition to the black and gold letter, there are two light gold masks in the wooden box.


    The overall shape of the mask looks like some kind of animal, but I can��t tell which one it is. It is one large, one small, one male and one female. It can just cover the upper half of the wearer��s face.


    ?Picked up the smaller women''s mask and looked at it, Mona frowned and asked:


    ��Are you sure this is a charity dinner? What kind of charity dinner requires wearing a mask?��


    ��The letter stated that this was a dinner hosted by the Kennedy family.��


    ?Luo An picked up the men''s mask, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:


    ��As for the specific charity content of the dinner, we will find out when we get there. Don��t worry, I��m here.��


    ��OK.��


    Hearing what Luo An said, Mona put down her heart and stopped asking. The two simply packed up for a while, took the wooden box and the mask and drove out of the villa.


    ??This dinner was held not in Washington, D.C., but in Massachusetts, not far from Washington, D.C.


    ?Luo An drove his Chevrolet car straight along the road. There were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road, and there were more and more green plants on both sides of the road.


    After turning a few intersections, a very tall iron gate appeared in front of the Chevrolet sedan. On both sides of the iron gate stood what appeared to be white men in suits and ties, with bulging bags on their waists and obviously weapons.


    ??Slowly slow down the car and show the invitation letter to the white man who came forward. The white man inspected it carefully for a moment, waved his hand to the man not far away to let him open the door, and then said to Luo An with a smile:


    ��Guests can wear masks now. During the dinner, guests are asked not to take off their masks unless necessary or under special circumstances.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Mona took out the mask and put it on her face, Luan stepped on the accelerator, and the Chevrolet car drove into the gate.


    There was still a spacious road inside the gate. Luo An drove his Chevrolet sedan and followed the signs, turned several turns, and drove for nearly eight minutes before finally seeing the villa at the end.


    The appearance of the villa does not need to be introduced too much. It adheres to the retro tradition of the Kennedy family for generations. It is unremarkable, low-key and simple, and has a sweeping view. Looking at it makes people unable to help but shed tears from their mouths.


    ??Mona looked at it briefly...and then looked away. Then she calculated the road she had just driven on:


    ��This area is very large, probably more than 200 acres.��


    ��It��s the Kennedys after all.��


    ??Luo An smiled and parked the car at the door of the villa. A doorman with a gray mask came over immediately.


    ? Luo An threw the car keys to the doorman, and Mona naturally took Luo An''s arm. The two people wearing masks smiled slightly and walked towards the interior of the villa.


    ?Stepping into the villa door, the most eye-catching thing is the spacious and bright welcome lobby. On the side of the lobby, several singers wearing various masks sing softly, and a pianist also wearing a mask plays the accompaniment.


    Inside the lobby, more than a dozen round tables stand in the center. Decorations such as flowers and dwarf trees are placed on the round tables in bright colors.


    There are no chairs on either side of the round table. There are already many guests in the aisle, male or female, wearing masks and holding wine glasses, laughing and chatting in groups.


    Many waiters wearing gray masks were passing by carrying wine glasses. When they saw Luo An and Mona entering the lobby, one of the waiters immediately came up and served the two with drinks.


    "Thanks."


    ??Luo An took two glasses and thanked her casually, handed one to Mona and walked into the lobby, where he randomly found two guests and started chatting.


    "There is currently a very famous financial product on Wall Street." A white man standing on the left side of Luo An, with a mask on his face that looked like a cat, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said with a smile:


    ��That financial product is called CDS, and the people who created it believe that federal housing prices will fall in the next few years.��


    ��A very funny joke.��


    ??The white man standing on the right side of Luo An, with a mask on his face that looked like a bird, laughed when he heard this and said:


    ��Federal real estate has never fallen in recent years. It seems that the creator of CDS is giving money to investment banks in vain.��


    ��So those banks are very happy now.��


    ??The man in the cat mask shook his head, turned to look at Luo An, and asked:


    ��Sir, what do you think of this matter?��


    ��I also don��t think federal house prices are going to fall.��


    ?Luo An picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said in a rather confident tone:


    ��The people in the investment banks on Wall Street are smart people. They can��t do business at a loss, can they?��


    ��That makes sense.��


    ?The man in the bird mask nodded repeatedly, agreeing very much with Luo An''s view. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and continued to chat about other things.


    Not long after, the music on the side of the lobby slowly stopped, the singers bowed and left one after another, and the waiters also moved the chairs out and placed them on the side of the round table.


    ??Cat Mask and Bird Mask saw this and said hello, and left one after another with their female companions to find seats. Luo An also walked to Mona who was aside, and sat down casually.


    After entering the lobby, Luo An and Mona separated and went to separate chat circles for men and women. Sitting on chairs, Luo An helped Mona take off her skirt and asked with a smile:


    ��How was the chat?��


    "not so good."


    ??Mona curled her lips, picked up the wine, took a sip, and whispered:


    ��The women here talk about charity, tourism, companies, etc. They talk about it for the people, but in fact it��s all about show and business. It��s so hypocritical that I really can��t talk to them.��


    ?Luo An picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Mona, and laughed softly:


    ��Welcome to the high society of the Federation.��


    ??Mona raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then asked in a low voice:


    ��What were you talking about with those two people just now?��


    ��Talk about federal real estate, and the presidential election.��


    ??Luo An put down the wine glass, put his head next to Mona''s ear, and laughed softly:


    ��It��s the same feeling as you just now. It��s full of lies and very hypocritical.��


    ??While chatting with the two people, Luo An discovered the cat mask and the bird mask through the "emotional perception" in his mind, and almost never said his true thoughts.


    Both of them said they believed that federal housing prices would not fall, but in fact they believed in their hearts that federal housing prices would definitely fall. They looked down on CDS and said they would never buy it, but actually bought a lot.


    ��Sure enough.��


    ??Mona''s eyes flashed with disdain, then she smiled at Luo An and whispered:


    ��Welcome to the high society of the Federation.��


    While Luo An and Mona were chatting, a white man with a white mask and a rather old voice slowly walked out from the stage at the front of the lobby. He smiled and said:


    ��Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight��s charity dinner.


    All proceeds tonight will be donated to a charity established by the Kennedy family, which aims to provide help to children who have been victims of domestic violence..."


    ??When the man in the white mask introduced the rules, a service staff wearing a gray mask suddenly walked up to Luo An, bent down and whispered:


    ��Hello sir, someone wants to see you.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 790： Mouton Rothschild

    Chapter 790 Mouton-Rothschild


    Saturday at eight o''clock in the evening, a villa in eastern Massachusetts.


    ��Someone wants to see me?��


    Hearing what the waiter said, Luo An, who was sitting on the chair, raised his head slightly in surprise. Mona next to him narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the waiter and asked:


    "who?"


    ��Sorry, ma��am.��


    The gray masked service staff apologized in a low voice and explained:


    ��The dinner guests all wore masks and I didn��t know everyone��s identity.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An smiled and patted Mona''s hand, asking her to wait with peace of mind, and then nodded to the waiter:


    ��Lead the way.��


    "plz follow me."


    ??The gray masked waiter walked in front, leading Luo An out of the lobby, going straight in the corridor and turning left, and finally stopped at the door of a room:


    ��This is it, sir, please come in.��


    ??Luo An reached out and opened the door and walked into the room. It was a small reception room. There was only a bookshelf, two sofas and a round table in the room. There was also a bottle of red wine and two glasses on the round table.


    ?The style of the furniture in the room is the same as that of the lobby decoration, which is mainly classical European style. It feels like entering the last century.


    ?However, Luo An didn��t pay attention to the furniture and style. When he saw him entering the room, Trick Kennedy, who had been sitting on the sofa on the left and had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and said with a smile:


    ��Good evening, Roan.��


    ��Good evening, sir.��


    Roan reached out and shook hands with Trick Kennedy, who was not wearing a mask at this time and had a very kind smile on his face.


    ��Hurry up and try this bottle of red wine.��


    ?Trick Kennedy waved his hand, indicating that Luo An could also take off his mask, then handed a wine glass to Luo An and said with a smile:


    ��This is the 1986 Mouton-Rothschild that I managed to get my hands on during this dinner party.��


    "Wow."


    Luo An raised his eyebrows and was surprised. He had never heard of the name Mouton-Rothschild, but he had heard of Chateau Mouton, which is from the same family as Chateau Lafite. famous.


    ?Taken the glass and clinked it with Trick Kennedy. Luo An first took a small sip, then opened his mouth wide and took a big sip, smacking his tongue and savoring it carefully.


    ?Trick Kennedy also did the same move. The two of them savored it carefully without saying a word, and the room was very quiet for a while.


    ?After a while, Trick Kennedy licked his lips, looked at Luo An and asked with a smile:


    "How is the taste?"


    Luo An chuckled, nodded and praised:


    ��It tastes very fragrant and is a very good wine.��


    Seeing that Luo An had nothing to say after saying this, Trick Kennedy was slightly stunned and asked:


    ��What��s behind?��


    "later?"


    ?Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly and repeated, saying:


    "tastes good."


    ����


    ?Trick Kennedy rolled his eyes and said speechlessly:


    ��It has no taste at all. It��s a waste of wine for you to drink.��


    ?? Luo An laughed without getting angry, picked up the wine glass again, took a sip, and said with a smile:


    ��I don��t understand wine at all, and I can��t think of any adjectives except that it tastes good.


    Sir, what do you think of this wine? Can you comment on it? I will also learn about this aspect. "


    ?Trick Kennedy smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, turned around and sat on the sofa, and said with a smile:


    ��My evaluation is the same as yours, it tastes great.��


    Hearing this, Luo An''s face was immediately filled with speechlessness. Trick Kennedy waved his hand for Luo An to sit down too, grinned and said:


    "Actually, I don''t know much about wine. I heard that this bottle of wine is very precious, so I took this opportunity to get a bottle from my father to have a taste." "It turns out to be the collection of Mr. Robert Kennedy Jr."


    ? Luo An nodded suddenly. When he was invited to visit Trick Kennedy (Chapter 533), he met Robert Kennedy Jr. in the study.


    ?The two talked a lot at that time, but Robert Kennedy Jr. was also a riddle man, speaking half the words and keeping the other half, which gave Luo An a headache.


    ?Trick Kennedy and Luo An tasted the bottle of red wine while chatting, and quickly drank it all.


    ??The alcohol content of this bottle of red wine is not low, but it is still within Luo An''s control. He put down the glass and asked casually:


    ��Sir, sir, you asked me to come here tonight. Besides tasting this bottle of red wine, is there anything else you can do?��


    ��I do have a few things I want to talk to you about.��


    ?Trick Kennedy slowly put down his glass and talked about business. His expression became serious. After a moment of silence, he asked:


    ��Luo An, you are very powerful and outstanding. Mr. Clement was promoted to the Ministry of Justice so quickly because of your help.


    ??But unlike Mr. Clement, I don��t need to go into the Department of Justice. "


    ? Luo An��s mind was spinning rapidly when he heard this, and he quickly guessed a possibility.


    The events behind the assassination of President Kennedy were very complicated. The inaction of some departments or the failure to report the incident was definitely one of the reasons for the tragedy.


    ?Trick-Kennedy said that he did not need to be promoted to the Department of Justice, which meant that he wanted to stay in the FBI.


    ?Combined with the previous life, Robert Kennedy Jr., during the tenure of the Sleeping King, he publicly announced that he would run for the federal president.


    Roan speculated that Trick Kennedy''s taking over Mr. Clement''s position may be part of the Kennedy family''s plan to control the FBI bit by bit and prepare for the future.


    ?Seeing that Luo An remained silent but his eyes moved slightly, Trick Kennedy smiled, neither denying nor affirming, and then asked:


    ��Luo An, have you thought about the future?��


    Luo An came back to his senses and asked with a smile:


    ��What kind of future does sir mean?��


    ��Of course Mr. Clement��s kind of future.��


    ?Trick Kennedy pointed at Roanna��s smooth chin and said with emotion:


    ��Luo An, you are too young and too talented. You have a very sharp mind and understand the rules of the game in federal politics.


    ?As long as everything develops normally, your future achievements will definitely be higher than Mr. Clement��s current achievements. "


    ��Thank you for the compliment, sir.��


    ��It��s not a compliment, just a statement of fact.��


    ??Trick Kennedy''s eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible envy, but he quickly suppressed it and continued:


    ��Mr. Clement is too old and entering the Department of Justice is about as far as he can go.


    But Luo Anqian is still young. In addition to Mr. Clement, you will need other friends in the future. What do you think? "


    ?The meaning of Trick-Kennedy''s words is very simple. Mr. Clement''s thigh has almost reached the top after entering the Ministry of Justice. If Luan wants to continue to move up, he needs to find other thighs. Such as the Kennedy family.


    ��Sir, what you said makes sense.��


    Luo An smiled and nodded, and said:


    ��But Mr. Clement has just entered the Ministry of Justice, and I still need to learn some knowledge.��


    What Roan means is that Mr. Clement has just entered the Department of Justice. He has always been loyal and cannot turn around and join the Kennedy family now.


    ��Of course.��


    ?Trick Kennedy smiled and nodded. He knew that Luo An was not the kind of guy who was unscrupulous for profit, and he didn''t think of dragging Luo An to the Kennedy family''s car with a bottle of wine.


    ??Talking about these things tonight is just a kind of advance preparation made by Trick Kennedy. Political families like the Kennedy family that have lasted for several generations have always had a lot of political investment, in addition to wealth, materials and people.


    Luo An is quite good in IQ, emotional intelligence, and military strength, and he is the outstanding talent that the Kennedy family is optimistic about.


    ??Luo An also had his own thoughts and plans about this. He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Trick Kennedy, and the two laughed together.


    Putting down his wine glass, Trick Kennedy slapped his head:


    ��By the way, there��s one more thing.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 791： [Case of death with cut throat and footprints]

    Chapter 791 [Case of death with cut throat and footprints]


    "And one more thing."


    ?Trick Kennedy put down his wine glass, stood up and walked to the bookcase next to him. He found a folder and handed it to Luo An. He said helplessly:


    ��Our deputy director at the FBI��s Washington headquarters, Mr. Ferdinand, sent me a case today and asked me to send someone to investigate it.


    There are many investigation teams at the Washington headquarters, but the only one I can trust as the leader of the investigation team is you, Luo An. "


    ?Trick Kennedy actually did not want to take on this case. He had previously served as the director of the Internal Threat Office and had many people under his command, but not many could handle such cases.


    ??However, as soon as he took over Mr. Clement''s position, he shied away from the first case and said that he was unable to do anything. This was really unjustifiable, so Trick Kennedy had no choice but to take the case.


    ?Trick Kennedy looked at the case file carefully before and felt that the case was quite complicated. He was a little worried that Luo An did not want to take it.


    ?So while Luo An was checking the contents of the file, Trick Kennedy added in a low voice:


    ��As we enter the new year, the FBI��s Washington headquarters has begun to calculate and prepare the case-handling expenses of various departments this year.


    The person in charge of accounting for funds is Mr. Ferdinand, the deputy director. "


    ?Luo An��s eyes moved slightly, he put down the folder, raised his head and asked:


    ��Sir, are there any time requirements for investigating and solving this case?


    In addition, when is the deadline for calculating case handling funds? "


    ��There is no time frame in which this case must be solved.��


    ?Trick Kennedy raised the corners of his mouth, reached out and patted Luo An on the shoulder, and said with a smile:


    ��As for the deadline for fund accounting, there is still one and a half months.��


    ��OK.��


    ?Luo An smiled slightly, closed the folder, and began to chat with Trick Kennedy about the charity dinner.


    After the dinner, Luo An and Mona drove away together. They had a day off on Sunday. On Monday morning, the two drove to the "Insomnia Building" not far from the Washington headquarters.


    In the office area of ??the Special Investigation Team, Michelle and Winslow arrived first, followed closely by Roan and Mona, followed by Chenille, and Lacey arrived last.


    ��Good morning, everyone!��


    ? Pushing the door open and entering the office area, Lacey shouted loudly, and then distributed food to everyone with a smile:


    ��I just bought breakfast, let��s eat it together!��


    Taking the hot chicken roll, Winslow had a surprised expression on his face:


    ��What��s going on? Lacey, are you getting married?��


    In the past, on the first day of work every week, Lacey would walk into the office area as if her bones had been taken away, and sit down listlessly on a chair. She would take a few bites of food from other people, and then find a more comfortable position. , lying on the table and sleeping.


    ??This is the first time that Winslow is so energetic as today and even distributes the breakfast he bought to everyone.


    Chenelle and Michelle were also a little surprised by this. Mona took the sandwich, rolled her eyes, and asked with a smile:


    ��Lacie, have you met a beautiful new girl?��


    ��No!��


    After serving breakfast, Lacey crossed her hands on her chest, made a big X in front of Winslow and Mona, and then explained with a smile:


    ��I have been taking care of myself these days. Not only have I not gone to bars or nightclubs, I have also gone to bed early and gotten up early, and learned yoga. My mental and physical conditions are much better than before.��


    "Wow."


    ?Winslow, Chenelle and Michelle were very surprised, but it was a good thing to take care of themselves. The three of them gave Lacey a thumbs up.


    ??Lacie was very proud with her hands on her hips. Mona, who was more aware of Lacey''s character, noticed a problem in Lacey''s words, so Mona narrowed her eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Lacie, you said you are learning yoga. Who is the teacher who teaches you yoga? Is it a man or a woman?��


    ����


    The smile on Lacey��s face suddenly froze. Chenille reacted instantly when she saw this and said silently:


    ��You��re not looking for an opportunity to get in touch with that female yoga teacher in the name of exercising and adjusting your health, are you?��


    Lacey smiled awkwardly, put down her hands on her hips, and said: "I can''t say that. I was really preparing to take care of my body. Meeting that beautiful female yoga teacher... was just a beautiful accident."


    Winslow, Michelle and Mona all rolled their eyes. When Chenelle was about to continue saying something, Roan opened the door of the team leader''s office and walked out:


    ��Everyone, please excuse me, yoga teachers, we have a new case.��


    ??Everyone immediately cheered up and took the folders Luo An handed them. After handing out the folders, Luo An walked to the whiteboard at the front of the office area and introduced:


    ��This case occurred in the early morning three days ago on a road that needs to pass through a forest from Washington, D.C., to New York State.��


    ?The detectives looked down at the case file, which showed that at 5:30 in the morning that day, a passerby found a Cadillac parked in the dirt next to the road.


    ?The passerby planned to approach the Cadillac and tell the driver that he could not park there.


    But as soon as he approached the driver''s seat of the Cadillac, a male body with his throat cut appeared in front of passers-by.


    ��The deceased��s name was Imre. He was 53 years old. He was the owner of a car rental company. He had no children or a wife. He only had a dog and two cats at home.��


    ?Luo An then introduced:


    ��Passers-by called the police, and the trace inspection department arrived at the crime scene for inspection and found that there was someone in the passenger seat of the Cadillac.


    ?Judging from the wounds on the victim''s throat and the way the force was exerted, the murderer was the man in the co-pilot.


    The Trace Inspection Department was lucky enough to find a hair and fresh pieces of human dander in the passenger seat.


    The test results show that they indeed come from the same person, and this person is most likely the murderer of the victim Imre. "


    ��Hasn��t this case been solved by now?��


    Lacie spread her hands and asked in confusion:


    ��The murderer is the person in the passenger seat. The Trace Inspection Section has also obtained the NDA of the other party and can directly issue a wanted warrant and let the police in various places arrest the person. Why should the case be handed over to us?��


    ��If only it were that simple.��


    ? Luo An threw a candy to Lacey and asked her to eat the candy without talking, and then introduced:


    ��In the mud at the crime scene, there were the footprints of the man in the passenger seat.


    ?The footprints were not big, but the traces were a bit messy, and they did not walk towards the road, but went straight into the woods that were not nearby.


    The Trace Inspection Section followed the footprints into the woods. Not long after walking, they found traces of a struggle.


    At the scene of the fight, in addition to the footprints of the co-pilot, the footprints of another person were also found. "


    "third party?"


    Winslow looked stern and asked:


    ��Who is the new guy?��


    ��I don��t know, I didn��t find many clues at the scene.


    The Trace Inspection Section finally concluded that the third party knocked down the person in the passenger seat, then carried the other person back to the road and drove away from the woods. "


    Luo An posted all the photos of the crime scene on the whiteboard, looked back at the detectives, and said in a deep voice:


    ��During the investigation of the third party, the Trace Inspection Section found that the footprints left by the third party on the mud were exactly the same as the murderer in another case.


    ?That case occurred a month ago. The victim��s name was Lesasi, 27 years old, who worked for a lobbying firm in Washington, DC. "


    Chenelle��s face darkened slightly and she said:


    ��So, this is a serial murder case?��


    "possible."


    ??Luo An nodded and turned his eyes to Mona. Mona opened the computer and showed it to everyone, saying:


    ��The problem is that the FBI��s archive records show that this Lesasi died 20 years ago.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 792： Mysterious woman, investigate

    Chapter 792: Mysterious Woman, Investigation


    At 10:30 am, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    ? Hearing that Lesasi in the FBI database had died 20 years ago, several agents suddenly looked surprised. Lessie asked:


    ��Is there something wrong with the FBI database, or is there something wrong with Lesasi herself?


    It is impossible for a person who died 20 years ago to work for a lobbying firm. "


    "I think so."


    ?Mona nodded, then tapped the computer keyboard a few times, brought up another page and showed it to everyone, and said:


    ��It turns out that the FBI database was wrong.


    During the autopsy process of the Trace Inspection Department, according to regulations, when the DNA of Lesasi''s body was extracted and recorded normally, it was unexpectedly discovered that the data was completely consistent with a piece of data from NAMUS.


    NAMUS data shows that Lesasi, whose real name is Natavi, disappeared in a certain area of ??California 20 years ago. After investigation, the local police concluded that she was dead until now. "


    NAMUS, the full name is "National Missing and Unidentified Persons System", which records the DNA, appearance and other information of about 70% of the missing and unknown persons in the Federation.


    As for the remaining 30%, the Federation has a vast territory and a large population. In addition, it has its own national conditions and simple people. I am afraid only God knows where those people are.


    After listening to Mona��s description, Winslow and Michelle frowned even more.


    Chenelle bent over to check carefully and found that Lesasi, whose real name was Natavi, had many relatives in California. Her father died and her mother remarried and was still living well, but Lesasi had never been to California to look for her. Mother.


    Lacey looked at the employment record of the lobbying company and asked with a puzzled face:


    ��Information shows that Lesasi joined the lobbying company thirteen months ago.


    ??Can we find out what else Lesasi did these thirteen months or more ago? "


    ��Can��t find it.��


    ?Mona shook her head, spread her hands and explained:


    ��Lesasi��s experience thirteen months ago was completely blank. How she entered this lobbying company is also a mystery.


    Lobbying firm records show that Lesasi is a top student with a master''s degree in management and a lot of work experience.


    I checked and found out that this information is all false. Lesasi entered the lobbying company entirely through false pretenses. "


    Chenelle straightened up, crossed her arms over her chest, looked at the picture of the woman on the computer screen, and narrowed her eyes slightly:


    ��What a mysterious woman.��


    Papa pa pa��


    ?Luo An clapped his hands, attracted the attention of all the agents, and said:


    ��Everyone, Lesasi, whose real name is Natavi, was the victim of a murder case a month ago.


    Obviously, she has a lot of secrets waiting for us to investigate.


    Besides her, don��t forget the murder case three days ago.


    ?In the Cadillac, Imre''s throat was cut to death in the driver''s seat. The murderer in the passenger seat fled to the woods, and was finally defeated and taken away by a third party who emerged.


    Leave aside the third party, the killer in the co-pilot is a woman like Lesasi, and is also a "long-dead" person. "


    Luo An handed another folder to everyone, and several people took it and opened it to look at it. They found that it contained the crime scene inspection report from the trace inspection department.


    The report shows that the hair strands and human dander tissue they found in the passenger side came from the same person.


    ?This person��s DNA matched that of a woman in the NAMUS system, named Ashiya, who disappeared in a city in Ohio 18 years ago and was later determined to be dead after an investigation by the local police. Until now.


    ��Another one?!��


    Winslow and Lacey widened their eyes in surprise, Chenelle frowned, Michelle''s expression changed slightly, she raised her head and said:


    ��The murderer Ashiya, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the Cadillac, was defeated and taken away by the Footprinters after killing Imre.


    The victim Lesasi a month ago was directly killed by the Footprint Man.


    Both women are related to the Footprint People. Could they be from the same organization? �� ? ? ��The possibility is very high. "


    ???? Before Luo An could speak, Mona nodded first, pointed at the computer screen and said:


    "Similar to Lesasi, this Ashiya, I can''t find her place of residence, place of work, etc. It feels like she just appeared out of nowhere."


    Roan did not confirm Michelle��s guess, but he did not deny it either. He shook the folder in his hand and said:


    ��The trace inspection department judged based on the footprints left by the person who made the footprints at the scene that the person was a male, about 180cm tall.


    In addition, the indentation on the heel of the footprint is very deep and the forefoot is shallow, indicating that this person walked with his chest raised and his abdomen straight, and his body was relatively straight.


    Considering that he was going to catch Ashiya at that time, he still walked slowly and leisurely, and the distance between his steps was not much different, which showed that this guy was very confident in his own strength and was not worried about Ashiya escaping his pursuit. "


    ��In contrast, Ashiya��s footprints left at the scene were very messy, and she was very panicked when she ran away.��


    Winslow looked at the information in the folder, narrowed his eyes slightly, and guessed:


    ��This man with footprints most likely has a military background.��


    The office area became quiet for a while. All the detectives carefully recorded the situation of the two cases. After a while of silence, Luo An reached out and knocked on the whiteboard and said:


    ��So, our next direction of investigation is to find out what happened to Ashiya and Lessas in the years after they disappeared.


    In addition, find a way to find and catch the man with the footprints, and figure out the truth behind the two cases! "


    All the agents nodded in unison, and Luo An immediately ordered:


    ��Mona, your next focus is to investigate the whereabouts of Imre, the owner of the Cadillac, before his death, and find out when and where he started contacting Ashiya.


    ?Michelle, carefully investigate the surveillance video near the highway during the time of Imre''s death, see what vehicles passed by at the time of the incident, and try to find traces of the man with the footprints.


    Chenelle, Winslow, you go to that lobbying company together to investigate Lessa''s situation.


    ? Find out how Lesasi joined the company with fake documents, and go to her residence to investigate to see if you can find any useful information.


    Lacey, you and I will go offline to investigate Ashiya��s personal situation. "


    After the order was issued, all the agents in the office area nodded in response:


    ��No problem!��x5


    ����


    After simply organizing the equipment, the group of people divided into three groups and began each team''s investigation mission.


    Because the victim, Imre, had no children or a wife, and only had a dog and two cats at home, Luo An and Lacey took agents from the Trace Inspection Section to his home for a brief search, but did not find many useful clues. , and drove to the car rental company under Imre''s name.


    The boss suddenly had his throat cut and died, but the business of the car rental company was not affected at all.


    Facing the questions from Luo An and Lacey, the manager of the car rental company spread his hands and said:


    ��In addition to grasping the general direction, the boss doesn��t come here very often. I have always been in charge of the company��s business.��


    ?Through the window of the manager''s office, he saw the staff outside doing what they were doing. They were not affected at all by the death of their boss. Lacey was speechless, but Luo An felt normal.


    ??They are all working at the grassroots level, and they just need to be paid normally. Who has time to deal with the higher-ups?


    ?Luo An then asked:


    ��Do you know where Imre went before he was killed?��


    The manager shook his head, nodded again, and said:


    ��I don��t know the specific whereabouts, but I know that the boss will most likely go to a certain place.��


    "where?"


    ��A private **** in the southern part of the District.��

 Chapter 793： youth hostel

    Chapter 793 Youth Hostel


    ��Luo An, I checked Imre��s consumption records during his lifetime.��


    ??Roan and Lacey were driving to a certain road in the southern part of the District when Mona called and said:


    ��Bank card records show that for the past five years, Imre would withdraw a sum of $500 to $1,500 in cash every Monday through Friday and then drive to various streets in South DC.��


    ??Luo An''s mouth opened slightly, and Lacey frowned slightly, noticing one thing:


    ��Different streets?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Mona on the other end of the phone replied:


    ��There are sixteen streets in total, including xxx����


    ??Mona briefly mentioned the names of the sixteen streets, and then added:


    ��The situation in that area is a bit special. I can only find out that Imre drove into those streets. It is not the same every day from Monday to Friday, and he enters one randomly.


    As for where he parked the car and where he went, I have no way of finding out. "


    Lacey closed her eyes speechlessly and rubbed her temples. Luo An chuckled:


    ��It��s okay, Mona, we know where Imre went.��


    ?Mona was quite surprised when she heard this:


    ��Have you found any clues in Imre��s company?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An smiled and replied casually:


    ��Obviously, we have found an experienced old drifter.��


    ����


    After listening to the clues found by Luo An, Mona hung up the phone speechlessly. Seeing that she was about to arrive at the club, Lacey checked the pistol and put it in her back waist, and asked:


    ��Luo An, it would be difficult to enter a private club in a place like this without an introducer.


    I��ve never been here before. Do you have any ideas? "


    ?Luo An glanced at Lacey in surprise:


    ��You haven��t been here?��


    Seeing Luo An��s eyes, Lacey twitched the corner of her mouth and said:


    ����The places I go to are generally more formal, okay?��


    ?In order to stay away from Aimee and ensure personal safety, Lacey likes to strike up conversations by herself and rely on her eloquence and skills to persuade beautiful girls.


    Lacey has always despised the kind of childhood love that can be bought with money. She is a good FBI who abides by the law.


    Arriving at the street diagonally across from the private club, Luo An slowly parked the car to the side of the road.


    Lacey looked at the club. As she expected, the door of the club was closed. There were two strong white men in suits and ties standing at the door. Anyone who was not a regular customer could not get in.


    ??Lacie turned to look at Luo An and spread her hands to show that she was helpless.


    ??Luo An chuckled and patted Lacey on the shoulder to tell her not to worry. Then he calmly took out his cell phone and called Edward at the club.


    Without mentioning the specifics of the case, Luo An simply stated his needs, and within a few minutes, he exchanged the price of one gold coin for admission to this club and other entertainment venues in fifteen streets.


    ??Looking at Luo An leading her into the club, Lacey had a strange expression on her face. Luo An asked casually:


    "What''s wrong?"


    "nothing."


    ??Lacie replied while looking at the scene of ragged underwear in the club:


    ��I won��t tell Mona, really.��


    Luo An: ������


    ??Find the person in charge of the club to ask a few questions and learned that Imre had not been to the club in recent days. Luo An led Lacey and left, driving to the remaining dozen entertainment venues.


    Not long after, Luo An and Lacey met a young dancer who had just stepped off the pole in another private club.


    ??This young dancer not only knows Imre, but also knows Ashiya, saying that Ashiya is a new waiter here not long ago, and she also knows where Ashiya lives.


    "This is it." He used two Franklins to buy clues. Half an hour later, Luo An slowly parked the car at the entrance of a small community in southwest Washington, D.C. Lacey looked around and pointed at the place not far away. The sign said:


    ��The dancer said it was a youth hostel called Millennium Hotel.��


    ��Good.��


    ??Luo An got out of the car and took Lacey into the youth hostel. A white woman who looked to be in her forties was sitting at the counter watching TV.


    ��Hello, FBI.��


    ? Luo An knocked on the table, showed the FBI''s golden badge to the other party, then took out Ashiya''s photo and asked:


    ��Madam, have you known her for a few days?��


    "know."


    Seeing Luo An��s golden badge, the hotel owner quickly stood up and asked:


    ��Her name is Natasha, do you have anything to do with her?��


    Hearing another false name, Luo An and Lacey looked at each other and said directly without further discussion on this topic:


    ��Take me to her room.��


    ��OK.��


    ??The hotel owner nodded, found the key and walked out from behind the counter. While leading Luo An and Lacey upstairs, he said:


    "Natasha is one of my long-term residents. She has been here for about... six months. She is a very honest girl."


    Hearing the hotel owner��s ��honest�� comment and thinking of Imre��s throat being cut, Lacey��s mouth twitched and she didn��t speak. Roan looked around and asked:


    ��Is it common for long-term travelers like Natasha to stay?��


    ��Not very common, but there are some.��


    The hotel owner said casually:


    ��This is Washington, D.C., after all, and the price of renting a house is not low. Living in a youth hostel will always save you money than renting a house.��


    With that said, the hotel owner walked to the door of a room, took out the key and opened the door.


    Entering the room, a window, four bunk iron beds, and eight vertical iron cabinets appeared in front of Luo An and Lacey.


    "This room can accommodate eight people, but now there are only three. There is no way. Business has not been very good recently."


    The hotel owner pointed to the bed with position No. 3 on it and said:


    ��That��s Natasha��s bed.��


    The bed was very clean and the bedding was folded neatly, which was in sharp contrast to the messy beds of the other two residents.


    ??Lacie rummaged around and found that there was nothing on the bed. Luo An looked at the iron cabinet aside and asked:


    ��Which is Natasha��s cabinet?��


    ��That��s the one on the far left.��


    ??The hotel owner stepped forward, quickly found the key, inserted it in, and turned it to open it. She stood aside to make way for Luo An.


    ? Luo An walked to the cabinet and looked carefully. He found some simple clothes on the top. He bent down and looked at the shelf below. After a few rummagings, he found a metal box the size of an A4 paper.


    The metal box had a built-in lock that required a key to open. Luo An continued to search for a moment but could not find the key. He raised his hand and shook the metal box. He felt that there was something inside, but not much.


    Handing the metal box to Lacey and asking her to contact the Trace Inspection Department, Luo An then looked at the hotel owner and asked:


    ��How is your relationship with Natasha? Do you know where she works?��


    ��Our relationship is okay. She sometimes helps me clean up the hotel, and I occasionally send her some dinner that I made myself.��


    The hotel owner frowned and said:


    ��As for Natasha��s job, she said she works as a waitress in a supermarket, but I have never seen her in a nearby supermarket.��


    Jingle Bell-


    Just as Luo An was about to continue asking, his phone suddenly rang. He found and pressed the answer button, and Cheniel''s voice came out:


    ��Luo An, Winslow and I found out why Lesasi was able to use fake documents to enter the lobbying company.��


    ��What exactly is going on?��


    ��Lessace slept with an executive at the lobbying firm.��


    ����


    Luo An��s eyelids twitched, and before he could speak, Cheniel added:


    ��In addition, Winslow and I also found a metal box in Lesasi��s residence.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 794： Have seen the big world

    Chapter 794: Seeing the world


    At 1:30 noon, a youth hostel in an ordinary community in southwest Washington, DC.


    ��You found a metal box there?��


    Hearing Cheniel��s discovery, Luo An��s eyes moved slightly and asked:


    ��What does that metal box look like?��


    ��No lock, A4 paper size����


    Chenelle briefly described what the metal box Winslow found looked like. Lacey next to Roan listened for a few seconds and shook the metal box in her hand. It sounded exactly the same.


    ��OK.��


    After Cheniel finished describing, Luo An nodded and said:


    ��Lacey and I also found a metal box of the same style here.��


    Chenelle and Winslow on the other end of the phone were very surprised when they heard this. Roan did not give them a chance to ask questions, and then ordered:


    ��Please remember to take the metal box back later.


    ?In addition, don��t forget to bring the manager of the lobbying company back to the special investigation team for interrogation. "


    "clear."


    After a brief discussion, Luo An hung up the phone. After thinking for a while, he turned to look at the hotel owner who was waiting silently next to him and asked:


    ��Has anything wrong happened to Natasha since she has lived in your hotel for so long? Or, has anyone looked for her?��


    ��Natasha spends most of her time alone. Some men have shown their attentiveness to her, but Natasha has no interest in those losers.��


    The hotel owner replied casually. At the end of the sentence, she suddenly slapped her head and added:


    ��By the way, last month, when Natasha had been living with me for more than five months, a man came to see her.


    ??The man didn''t seem to be a good person. Natasha''s face was very ugly when she saw him, but she still pulled the man into the room.


    ?The man was in this room and left after less than five minutes. Very average, no, it should be said to be a little bad. "


    ����


    The hotel owner��s final comments were selectively ignored by Lacey and Luo An. Luo An then asked:


    ��How is the surveillance here? Did you get a clear picture of that man?��


    "certainly."


    ??The hotel owner nodded heavily, indicating that there was absolutely no problem with the monitoring of his hotel, so Luo An looked at Lacey and said:


    ��I took the metal box back to headquarters and figured out what was in it.


    ??Lexi, go and get surveillance from your boss, figure out the man''s identity, and bring him back to the special investigation team. If you encounter difficulties, remember to call for help in time. "


    "no problem."


    ??Lacie handed the metal box to Luo An, gave him an OK gesture, smiled and nodded in agreement.


    The troops split into two groups here, and Luo An quickly drove back to the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    The agents of the Trace Inspection Section have been waiting here for a long time. After getting the metal box, they immediately took out their professional equipment and started to pick the lock...technically unlock it.


    Snapped-


    As the saying goes, there are specialties in the art. The agents of the Trace Inspection Division opened the built-in lock of the metal box in less than a minute without damaging the structure inside.


    ??Luo An silently gave the trace inspection agent a thumbs up, then stepped forward and opened the metal box.


    ?In the curious eyes of Mona and Michelle, a dark red wooden cross and a dark red wooden necklace appeared inside the iron box, but nothing else.


    ?Picking up the cross with gloves on and looking at it, Michelle frowned and said:


    ��This is the inverted cross of Satanism.��


    ��Satanism?��


    Roan didn��t know much about this aspect. Michelle pointed to the inverted cross carved at the intersection of the cross and explained:


    ��The style of this cross is not the orthodox cross of the Orthodox Church, but the Latin cross of the Catholic Church and Protestant Christianity, also called a vertical cross.


    ?Turn the vertical cross upside down and carve a cross in the center of the inverted cross, which is a symbol of the devil, Satan, and images of corruption, impurity, rebellion, etc. "


    ??Mona frowned and remained silent. Luo An picked up another wooden necklace in the metal box and observed it carefully for a few seconds. He found that several of the wooden **** were engraved with different numbers.


    ��2-6-3-5.�� Luo An handed the wooden necklace to Mona and Michelle and said in a deep voice:


    ��Looks like a code name.��


    ??Mona frowned even more tightly and guessed:


    ��Is this Ashiya��s code name or ranking in an organization?��


    Michelle thought for a while and said:


    ��The wound on Imre��s throat was precise and sharp, killing him with one blow.


    ?This Ashiya is not a killer in some Satanic cult. "


    ��There is such a possibility.��


    ??Luo An did not deny Michelle''s guess. Not long after, Winslow and Chenier escorted the lobbying company manager back to the special investigation team.


    ??The manager was sent to the interrogation room by Winslow for temporary detention. Chenier handed the metal box to Luo An. The Trace Inspection Section agent once again used his craftsmanship to open it. A wooden cross and a wooden necklace once again appeared in front of everyone.


    The difference is that this time the numbers on the wooden necklace have changed to "1-9-3-1", and the color of the wooden cross is no longer dark red, but light gold.


    Looking at the items in the two iron boxes, everyone in the office area was silent for a few seconds. Mona spoke out first:


    ��It seems that Ashiya and Lesasi are from the same organization.��


    Luo An rubbed his temples and said:


    ��Mona, Michelle, do some research on the cults that believe in Satan in the Federation and make a list.


    Winslow, go pick up Lacey. She has gone to arrest someone and may need help.


    Chenelle, you and I go to the interrogation room and we have a chat with the manager. "


    ��OK!��x4


    ?A few people nodded in unison and started to pack their things. After a brief tidying up, Luo An took Chenelle into the interrogation room.


    ��Listen, Mr. FBI.��


    Luo An had just opened the door and walked into the interrogation room. Before he could sit down, the lobbying company manager on the chair raised his head and said nervously and seriously:


    ��I��m really not the murderer of Lesasi, okay?


    I have no grudge against her, and there is no need for me to kill her! "


    ��Don��t be nervous, Mr. Manager.��


    Luo An sat on the chair. When Cheniel was ready, he looked at the manager and smiled:


    ��Let��s just have a quick chat.��


    ��OK, OK.��


    Mr. Manager nodded repeatedly. Luo An quickly got to the point without saying too much nonsense and said:


    ��During the investigation, we found that Lesasi��s identity, certificate, degree and other information were all false. She entered the lobbying company because of her relationship with you. Do you have anything to explain?��


    Mr. Manager did not deny it. He nodded and admitted it and said:


    ��Those certificates are fake, but Lesasi��s work ability is real, and she has never made any mistakes in her work.


    If this were not the case, even if she slept with me a hundred times, I would not be able to let an idiot into the company. "


    A flash of disdain flashed in Cheniel''s eyes, and she asked:


    ��The information shows that you have a fianc��e and she loves you very much.��


    ?The manager had a serious face and expressed his unwavering love for his fianc��e, saying:


    ��I love her too, but I never said I only love her.��


    ����


    Chenier��s eyebrows were beating fast, and Luo An was speechless. He reached out and patted Cheniel��s arm to calm him down. Luo An then asked:


    ��Where and how did you and Lesasi meet? Do you know Lesasi��s past experiences?��


    ��Lesasi and I met in a bar.��


    The manager frowned slightly and replied:


    ��Lesasi never talked about her past experiences, and I didn��t ask.


    I can only say that her skills are very good, and she has seen the world at a glance. "

 Chapter 795： Part of his whereabouts during his lifetime

    Chapter 795 Partial whereabouts during his lifetime


    The work of a lobbying company requires that in addition to persuading businessmen and politicians with words, you also need to go to various entertainment venues and accompany them with wine, money, and beautiful women.


    Over a long period of time, Mr. Manager has successfully developed the habit of never leaving the third road in every ten sentences, and the lack of tires does not hinder his driving.


    After half an hour of interrogation, the disgust and disdain in Chenille''s eyes continued to increase, while the expression on Luo An''s face remained calm, perfectly demonstrating the temperament and work attitude of an excellent team leader.


    ?However, some of what Mr. Manager said made sense if you think about it carefully. Luo An silently wrote it down. It is always good to learn more knowledge.


    ?Out of the interrogation room, Chenelle��s face was extremely dark. Mona and Michelle immediately came forward and asked:


    ��How are you doing? Have you found any clues?��


    ��No.��


    Chenelle shook her head slightly and explained:


    ��This manager doesn��t know anything.��


    ?The manager and Lesasi met by chance in a bar. They were both drunk and drunk. After a few words, the two of them got lost and walked into the hotel suite next door.


    ?After three meals a day, Lesasi relied on her superb technical skills to successfully persuade the manager to get her to work in the lobbying company.


    ?As for Lesasi��s past, the manager doesn��t know anything about it, and he doesn��t want to know about it. It��s good for everyone to maintain a clean physical relationship, and there is no need to get involved in such things as emotions.


    ?After listening to Cheniel��s narration, Mona and Michelle had black lines on their heads. Luo An closed the folder containing the interrogation records and asked:


    ��Michelle, how did your investigation go with the surveillance on the night of the incident?��


    "Feel sorry."


    ?Michelle shook her head, the expression on her face was not very good, she frowned and said:


    ��On the night of the Cadillac accident, there were indeed many cars passing by on that road.


    I checked the cars carefully and found that the drivers were either ordinary residents living in the nearby area or passers-by who passed by by chance.


    ??None of them fit the profile of the man with the footprints, and no other women were found in the car.


    ?In addition, there are many other unmonitored roads near that highway, and these roads are connected to more unmonitored small roads, so..."


    "It doesn''t matter."


    ??Luo An reached out and patted Michelle on the shoulder, indicating that she didn''t have to worry.


    When the profiling results showed that the man with the footprints was quite confident in his own strength and had a suspected military background, Luo An was mentally prepared that the other party had strong anti-tracking capabilities and that he would not be able to find any clues.


    Let Cheniel take the manager out of the building, Luo An walked into the office area and began to sort out the clues he had at hand.


    Not long after, Winslow and Lacey returned to the special investigation team and brought a white man who looked to be in his fifties into the interrogation room.


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ??Roan handed two cups of coffee to Winslow and Lacey, and then led Mona into the interrogation room.


    ��Hello, Mr. Eric.��


    ??Looking at the information found on Mona''s computer, Luo An pushed Ashiya''s photo in front of him and asked:


    "do you know her?"


    ?Eric is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a sinewy face and strong muscles. He is a standard federal man.


    "I know."


    Eric, who was in his fifties, looked calm. He looked at the photo and replied quietly:


    ��Her name is Emma, ??and she worked in the gun shop I owned.��


    ?Eric said that he was the owner of a gun shop, and Emma worked in his gun shop for a while.


    Because of her quick hands and feet, her hard work, and her cheerful and straightforward temperament, Eric''s son liked her very much. Eric had no objections to this at first. Emma was good-looking and had a good personality. His son finally liked a girl, but he didn''t want to beat the couple.


    ��I didn��t like her after that.��


    ?Eric reached out and tapped Ashiya''s photo, his expression was not very good, and he said:


    ��One night about half a year ago, Emma said she would get off work late on the pretext of going on a date with my son.


    ?I don��t pay much attention to it. I rarely get involved in young people��s affairs.


    But the next day I went to the gun store and found my son drunk in the lounge behind the gun store.


    ? Emma used the key that my son had to open the cabinet where the money was kept, stole $3,000 and a pistol, and disappeared without a trace. "


    The name Emma is obviously a pseudonym made by Ashiya. Mona simply recorded it, then typed on the keyboard a few times and asked in a solemn voice:


    ��But the local police case records do not show that you have called the police.��


    ?Eric snorted coldly, with an unsatisfied expression on his face, and said:


    ��After my son woke up, he was very angry and said it was his fault, but he would make back the lost three thousand dollars to replenish me, and begged me not to call the police.


    I have only one son, so I had no choice but to agree after beating him up. "


    The story of an infatuated boy who was deceived!


    ?Luo An and Mona looked at each other, and both saw the strange look in each other''s eyes. After a moment of silence, Luo An then asked:


    ��The hotel owner said you visited Emma some time ago. What happened?��


    ��I asked someone to help me find it.��


    ?Eric said that he actually didn��t care much about the $3,000, because his son changed his attitude of dawdling after that, worked very hard, and earned $3,000 from part-time work and gave it back to him.


    Eric spent $3,000 in exchange for a transformed son, and Eric felt that the deal was worth it.


    The problem is that in addition to the $3,000, Emma also stole a pistol.


    ??Eric was worried that Emma would use the pistol to commit a crime, and he would eventually be implicated in the police investigation, so Eric has been secretly asking people to investigate and find Emma.


    After months of searching, Eric finally found Emma in a youth hostel in southern Washington, DC.


    The two wanted to meet in the hotel room. Before Eric could say anything more, Emma, ??who was Ashiya, apologized directly, saying that the circumstances were special and she took the pistol for self-defense. Then she not only returned the $3,000, but He also gave the pistol back to Eric.


    Eric didn''t expect Ashiya to be so cooperative. He didn''t know what to say. He just exchanged a few words and told Ashiya not to look for his son again. Then Eric took the gun and money and left. Got to the hotel.


    After Eric finished his statement, the interrogation room was very quiet for a while.


    ??Luo An looked at the interrogation record in Mona''s computer, and combined with the previous clues, part of Ashiya''s whereabouts during her lifetime had been found out:


    ?He first went to work in Eric''s gun shop for a while, used his beauty to attract Eric''s son, and took the opportunity to steal 3,000 US dollars and a pistol.


    Then he came to Washington, D.C., stayed in a youth hostel, and worked in a private club, where he was suspected of using his body to make quick money.


    ??The Cadillac owner Imre is most likely Ashiya''s new customer, but for some unknown reason, Ashiya chose to kill his killer and cut his throat, got out of the car and fled into the woods. In the end, he was defeated and taken away by the footprint man, and he disappeared completely.


    After thinking for a few seconds, Luo An raised his head and asked:


    ��Did you find anything wrong while searching for Ashiya?��


    ��Not this one.��


    ?Eric shook his head first, and then asked in a deep voice:


    ��However, during the time when Ashiya first disappeared, a man appeared sneakily opposite the gun store.


    ?At that time, I suspected that the other party might be related to Ashiya, so I tried to lead people to surround the other party. However, the other party noticed it in advance and escaped from the encirclement. "


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��Do you know who that person is?��


    ��I don��t know, but my friend��s car parked on the side of the road hit that guy��s face!��

 Chapter 796： Carry out arrest operation

    Chapter 796 Launching arrest operation


    At 5:30 in the afternoon, the air in the office area of ??the special investigation team was very quiet.


    ?Roan, Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle were all surrounding Mona and Michelle, their eyes fixed on the computer screen in front of them.


    ??After the interrogation just now, Luo An and the others got a photo of the guy who was following Ashiya from the car of one of Eric''s friends.


    ? Because the equipment was average, the photo was a little blurry, but this problem did not trouble Mona. She led Michelle to quickly adjust the portrait in the photo, and then input it into the FBI''s internal database to start identity comparison.


    ??The comparison took a bit long this time, and all the agents in the investigation team were all staring at the computer page that was constantly flashing.


    ?Time passed by one minute and one second, and suddenly the flashing stopped, and a picture of an expressionless white man in his thirties appeared in front of everyone.


    ??Mona perked up, immediately sat up straight and called up the other party''s identity information, and introduced loudly:


    ��Tonaka Hyde, 31 years old, 183cm tall, unmarried, unemployed, living in eastern New Jersey!��


    ?Winslow and Chenelle looked excited. Lacey turned directly to look at Roan and said excitedly:


    ��Let��s go out and arrest people!��


    "Not urgent."


    ??Compared to the other rather excited agents, Luo An''s face remained calm. He asked unhurriedly:


    ��Mona, what was Tonaka��s experience like when he was young? Did he join the army?��


    ��Experiences of youth����


    ??Mona continued to type on the keyboard. After a moment, she frowned and replied in a serious tone:


    ��Information shows that Tonaka lost his parents when he was four years old and lived in an orphanage since he was a child.


    He left the orphanage when he became an adult. He had no tax payment records or work records for a long time, and he had never joined the army.


    But he has a bank account, which he opened when he was 21 years old. Since then, he has kept records of income and expenditure, but the money is not much, most of the time it is around five or six hundred US dollars. "


    Most of the people at the bottom of the federation have little savings, or the social rules of the federation do not allow them to have savings.


    ?Having a bank account with five to six hundred US dollars in it shows that Tonna, who was born as an orphan, is actually doing pretty well.


    ??However, Luo An was not concerned about the bank''s affairs. Winslow and Lacey also reacted after listening to Mona''s introduction. Chenelle frowned:


    ��Tonaka has never joined the army?��


    "No."


    ??Mona shook her head, stepped aside to show the computer screen to everyone, and said:


    ��He has never been a police officer, a firefighter, or even a community security officer.��


    ?Thinking of the Cadillac crime scene and the traces of battle left in the woods not far away, Chenelle and Winslow fell silent. Lacey turned to look at Roan and asked in a low voice:


    ��Are we looking for the wrong person?��


    "have no idea."


    Looking at the picture of the expressionless white man on the computer, Luo An narrowed his eyes and said:


    ��But we can go talk to each other first, and remember to bring weapons.��


    "no problem!"


    Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey agreed in unison, and the three of them went to get the weapons. Roan then ordered Mona and Michelle to stay at the headquarters and continue to search for Tonaka''s movements, while remotely handling the situation in that area. monitor.


    ����


    ?Eight p.m., eastern New Jersey.


    Out of caution, Luo An asked Lacey to contact the local SWAT team to prepare for joint operations.


    ??Under the slightly dim street lights, a black personnel carrier half hid itself in the darkness. There was an SUV parked not far away, and Luo An and the others were sitting in the car making phone calls.


    ��There was a gray car at the door of the apartment, the license plate number was xxx.��


    Looking at the dimly flickering apartment not far away, Luo An pressed the communicator and said:


    ��Check that car to see if it belongs to Tonaka.��


    There was a crackling sound of keyboard tapping in the communicator, and Mona��s voice soon sounded:


    ��No, the owner of that car is an old man, not Tonaka.��


    Roan nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Michelle''s voice suddenly sounded, and he said somewhat urgently:


    ��Wait a minute, Roan!


    ??The night the Cadillac owner was killed, this car was captured on the surveillance video of a gas station west of the crime scene! "


    Chenier frowned and asked quickly: "Is Tonaka the driver?"


    ?Michelle replied:


    ��From the surveillance video, the driver was wearing a hat and a big beard. He looked very old and did not look like Tonaka.��


    ��There is a possibility of wearing makeup.��


    Luo An said in a deep voice, then adjusted the liaison channel and asked:


    ��How is the target person doing now?��


    On the roof of an uninhabited apartment in the distance, a SWAT team member was lying on the ground, looking at the situation in the target apartment through a sniper rifle, and replied:


    ��There is no abnormal movement of the target person, everything is normal.��


    ��Good.��


    Hearing this, Luo An said no more, pressed the communicator and ordered:


    ��Winslow, Lacey, you and the SWAT team are moving forward from the back of the apartment!


    Chenelle, the rest of the SWAT team, and I raided from the front of the apartment!


    ?Be careful during the operation and remember to catch them alive! "


    "clear!"


    The order was given and everyone responded in unison. The heavily armed people quickly got out of the car, divided into two teams according to the plan, and quietly and quickly surrounded the apartment.


    ???When the team of Luo An and Cheniel were still a few meters away from the apartment, the sniper''s shout suddenly rang through the communicator:


    ��The target person suddenly started moving quickly, as if he had discovered something!��


    ??Everyone looked stern, Luo An frowned slightly and ordered:


    ��Notify stealth, start action directly!��


    "clear!"


    The SWAT team members who received the order responded in unison, and walking at the front, the SWAT team members holding explosion-proof shields suddenly accelerated and moved to the door of the apartment.


    The second SWAT member in the team picked up the breaking hammer and hit the door without hesitation!


    �O


    �O


    With two loud noises, the front and rear doors of the apartment were instantly smashed to the ground with a hammer. The SWAT team members, Winslow, Lacey and others who were behind them immediately rushed into the villa with guns:


    ��FBI!��


    ��Don��t move, raise your hands!��


    ��Put down your weapons! Get down on the ground!��


    ��Go upstairs! Go upstairs!��


    ??This apartment is not very big, and the living room and kitchen on the first floor have a clear view. Everyone who did not find the target person immediately rushed to the stairs to go upstairs.


    At this moment, Luo An suddenly felt a tremor in his head. He followed the feeling and looked towards the top of the stairs, shouting hurriedly:


    ��Beware of ambush!��


    !!��


    ?The SWAT team members who were just a step away from reaching the top of the stairs subconsciously stopped and looked down to see if there was anything wrong.


    Looking up, he discovered that there was an almost transparent fishing line at the door of the first room on the second floor. As long as he walked there, he would definitely touch the booby trap!


    ��Fu-k!��


    The SWAT team member broke into cold sweat on his forehead and cursed in a low voice. At the same time, his heart was full of gratitude to Luo An. Before he could step forward to dismantle the booby trap, a very small electronic sound suddenly entered his ears.


    Ding-


    Boom! boom! boom!


    ?The next second, three flames suddenly burst out, and the fierce explosion instantly blew the door and windows of the second floor into pieces, and the walls collapsed.


    Everyone on the stairs didn''t expect the explosion at all. The moment the sound rang out, they subconsciously bent down and held their heads to avoid it. Fortunately, they were shouted at by Luo An and did not rush to the second floor. They were only hit a few times by a pile of wood and gravel. , overall it didn��t suffer much damage.


    At the same time, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from under the stairs and ran out of the apartment while everyone was startled by the explosion and ran away!


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 797： basement

    Chapter 797 Basement


    The timing chosen by Black Shadow was very accurate. The first reaction of the professionally trained SWAT team members when encountering the explosion was to bend down and hold their heads to protect their bodies.


    Because of this, when the detectives subconsciously bent down to avoid it, the sudden black shadow did not attract too many people''s attention.


    The two SWAT team members who did not go up the stairs and were still searching in the kitchen on the first floor discovered the existence of the black shadow. They quickly shouted:


    ��Find the target person!��


    ��Here he is! He��s trying to escape!��


    Before the two of them finished speaking, a black shadow had already rushed to the door of the apartment. The SWAT team member responsible for staying outside the apartment to observe the surroundings was also startled by the sudden explosion on the second floor of the apartment.


    The two subconsciously looked up, and out of the corner of their eyes, they suddenly noticed a black shadow rushing towards them.


    ��Fu-k!��


    "damn it!"


    ??The two detectives who stayed behind immediately guessed that the explosion upstairs was caused by the black shadow to distract others so that they could escape the encirclement. They quickly raised their guns and prepared to block the opponent''s escape route.


    A flash of disdain flashed through Black Shadow''s eyes. Before the two SWAT members could raise their guns, he had already taken out his pistol and was about to pull the trigger.


    boom!


    ?The next second, a gunshot rang out. The SWAT team members outside the apartment had slightly changed expressions but were not injured. However, the black shadow''s pupils shrank and there was a painful expression on his face.


    ?His right hand holding the gun was hit by a bullet, and the gun fell out of his hand uncontrollably and fell to the ground.


    Before the black shadow could check who fired the gun, he only felt a gust of wind blowing in his ears, and then a huge force kicked his calf. The black shadow was unable to resist at all, and he fell forward and knelt down.


    Snapped-


    ??Kicked the pistol on the ground far away, Luo An stood beside the black figure, held the pistol to the opponent''s head expressionlessly:


    ��Get down, don��t move.��


    ??The person who shot the black shadow in his right hand, quickly moved behind him, and kicked him to the ground was Luo An.


    ?The second before the black shadow jumped out from under the stairs, the "emotional perception" in Luo An''s mind discovered the other party and prepared to lead people to stop him.


    ?At the same time, "Emotional Sense" also felt the danger signal coming from the second floor of the apartment.


    ?Compared with capturing the target person, Luo An did not want the SWAT team members and Winslow and others to be injured, so he shouted to them to be careful about ambush.


    Facts have proved that Luo An''s choice was very correct. The SWAT team members, Winslow and others stopped at the stairs and did not enter the second floor because of Luo An''s shouting.


    The violent explosion only caused some wood chips and bricks to hit them a few times. Overall, they did not suffer much damage and no one died.


    As for the black shadow, the moment he sprang out, Luo An immediately turned his gun and aimed at the opponent. Seeing that the opponent was planning to kill the guards at the door, he chose to shoot and kill the weapon first, and then stepped forward to arrest him.


    ??The eyes of the black figure who was kicked to the ground by Luo An were full of shock. Not only Luo An''s precise shooting skills surprised him, but Luo An''s terrifying movement speed made him find it difficult to understand.


    When running out from under the stairs, the black shadow briefly glanced at the situation in the living room. This handsome agent was clearly standing at the end of the living room, the farthest distance from him!


    As a result, he actually moved behind him so quickly! Also, why is this guy so strong!


    A lot of questions filled Heiying''s mind, and his throat rolled and he just felt like he couldn''t understand it. However, now was not the time to think about these things. Heiying never gave up the idea of ??fighting back and escaping. His head suddenly moved forward to avoid Luo An''s pistol, and with his left hand He took out a dagger from his sleeve and slashed Luo An''s wrist!


    Since you can��t hold the gun with my right hand, don��t worry about your hand either!


    A cold look flashed in Heiying''s eyes. He planned to cut off Luo An''s wrist first and then hold him hostage, using him as a hostage to threaten others to leave.


    The plan is simple and has a high success rate. The black shadow gritted his back molars, and the dagger passed a few minutes faster!


    Ding!


    ??The sound of metal colliding sounded, and the expression on the black shadow''s face froze, because Luo An directly put the pistol against his dagger, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not continue to move forward.


    ??The shadow looked up at Luo An in disbelief. Luo An, still expressionless, raised his foot and kicked the shadow in the chest.


    Bang -????A muffled sound sounded, and the black shadow hit the outer wall of the apartment hard like a shell. The severe pain in his chest made the black shadow''s mouth twitch. There was no chance to speak, and a large mouthful of blood came out of his mouth. Squirted out and spread all over the floor.


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    Then four gunshots rang out, and the black shadow received two wounds on each of its left and right legs. Luo An chose to ignore the black shadow''s murderous gaze, put away his pistol and walked back to the apartment, facing the two people who were staying outside without looking back. SWAT team member said:


    ��Arrest the person and remember to call an ambulance.��


    "��clear!"


    The two shocked SWAT agents were stunned for a moment, then quickly responded and took the order. They suppressed the admiration in their hearts and walked quickly towards the shadow. Although there was blood on the other''s chin, the overall appearance of his face remained unchanged. This was exactly what happened during this operation. The target person to be captured is Tonaka Hyde.


    In the apartment, several SWAT team members and Winslow came down the stairs in disgrace, looking very unhappy:


    ��Sorry, Team Leader Luo An, Tonaka-Hyde has planted remote-controlled bombs in the rooms on the second floor.��


    ?While everyone was angry, they were also a little scared. First there were booby traps and then remote-controlled bombs. Without Luo An��s reminder, today��s operation might have turned out differently.


    Thinking of this, several SWAT team members looked at Luo An with gratitude in their eyes. The rumor that the casualty rate would be very low when going out with team leader Luo An was indeed true!


    "People safe is good."


    Roan smiled and patted a few people on the shoulders. At this moment, Cheniel came out from under the stairs and said in a deep voice:


    ��Team leader, this is a basement and there are some things in it.��


    ??Luo An immediately walked towards Cheniel, and under her leadership, he discovered that there were stairs under the stairs, with a steep angle. The two walked slowly, and a wide basement immediately appeared in front of Luo An.


    ?The basement itself is nothing interesting. Even with the light bulb, it still looks a bit dark. There is an iron bucket next to the table at the far end of the room, and there are lingering smoke hanging above the iron bucket.


    ��Inside is a laptop and a mobile phone.��


    Chenier found a clamp, covered her nose and took out the contents of the iron bucket, frowning and saying:


    ��Obviously Tonaka wanted to destroy them.��


    ��Leave it to the Trace Inspection Department for processing.��


    ??Luo An briefly glanced at the black iron bucket and then looked away. There was a low bed in the other corner of the basement, with two handcuffs welded to the head of the bed, which were obviously used to lock people up.


    Chenelle frowned slightly:


    ��Ashia is not here.��


    ??Luo An bent down and rummaged under the bed. He didn''t find women''s clothing or products, but he found a lot of long hair. After observing carefully for a few seconds, he frowned slightly and said:


    "The colors of these hairs are different. In addition to Ashiya, there may be other women locked here."


    ��Sonof better than eating.��


    Chenelle cursed in a low voice, and then said:


    ��The second floor was blown to pieces, and there are not many clues on the first floor and basement to show who Tonaka is.��


    Luo An didn��t panic at all when he turned around and walked out of the basement:


    ��It doesn��t matter, the man has been caught, we can have a chat with him.��


    ??Follow-up work in the apartment was handed over to the Trace Inspection Section. The next day, Luo An officially launched the interrogation of Tonaka in the special investigation team.


    From day to night, Tonaka sat on a chair and said nothing.

 Chapter 798： Monitoring equipment aging

    Chapter 798: Aging of Monitoring Equipment


    5:30 pm, office area of ??the special investigation team.


    Winslow pushed open the office door with a cardboard box in his arms and shouted at the top of his lungs:


    ��Everyone, dinner has been served, it��s time to eat!��


    ��Wow, we��re finally here.��


    ��Thank you, thank you for your hard work.��


    Lacie and Michelle quickly stood up and took the cardboard boxes from each other''s hands, and distributed the food together.


    Looking around, he found that Roan, Mona and Chenelle were not there. Winslow frowned slightly and asked:


    ��Luo An is still interrogating over there?��


    Michelle distributed the food to each agent''s work station one by one. Lacey placed Roan''s portion in a blank space aside, spread her hands, and said helplessly:


    ��No, Roan went to the Trace Inspection Department, and now it��s Mona and Chenelle who are interrogating the stone.��


    Winslow had a helpless expression on his face. He picked up a burger, opened the package and took a bite. While eating, he said:


    ��This seems to be the first time our special investigation team has spent such a long time interrogating a guy.��


    ��I haven��t asked anything yet.��


    ?Michelle sighed helplessly, and while making coffee, she said:


    ��I initially guessed that Tonaka was mute and couldn��t speak.


    ??But after checking the surveillance videos of several supermarkets near his home, Tonaka also communicated with others after buying things, so..."


    ��So, obviously, he just wasn��t cooperating with us and didn��t want to answer our questions.��


    ??Lacie frowned, picked up a pack of chicken rolls and took a big bite. She crunched and chewed hard as if biting the guy''s flesh in the interrogation room. She snorted coldly and whispered:


    ��I gave Luo An a solution before, that is, the surveillance camera in our interrogation room has an aging circuit and cannot be used today, and it needs to be processed for a few hours.


    But Luo An rejected my suggestion. "


    Compared to others in the investigation team, Lacey, who came from the intelligence department, is very good at "using rules" and does not pay much attention to or abide by some rules and regulations.


    From her point of view, as long as the goal can be achieved, the occasional aging of equipment lines is nothing at all. After all, mechanical equipment will always make mistakes.


    Understand the meaning behind Lacey��s words, Michelle��s eyes were strange, Winslow��s head was full of black lines, before the two of them could speak, Luo An��s voice suddenly sounded from behind the three of them:


    ��It��s useless because the equipment is old, Lacey.��


    ? Winslow, Michelle and Lacey hurriedly turned around. Luo An walked slowly to the empty workstation with a file bag, put down the file bag, picked up the food and said while eating:


    ��Tonaka himself is the biggest problem.��


    Chenelle and Mona also left the interrogation room and walked to the office area at this time. Lacey hurriedly asked:


    ��How is it? Did the guy speak?��


    Chenier said nothing, picked up the food and started to fill her stomach. Mona pointed to the interrogation record book without a word in it, and said helplessly:


    "What do you think?"


    ??? Lacey sighed longly, Winslow and Michelle were also helpless. Mona licked her chapped lips, took a sip of water, turned to look at Luo An, and asked:


    ��Luo An, what should we do next?��


    ��The trial continues.��


    Luo An swallowed the food, and the expression on his face was not very panicked compared to others.


    ?Tonaka-Hyde is indeed the first guy Luo An has encountered in such a long time of working in the FBI who is so uncooperative.


    ??Whether the interrogators asked, discussed, threatened, or introduced the customs and customs in the prison, Tonaka, who was sitting in the chair, always lowered his head without saying a word or humming.


    Roan also suffered setbacks from Tonaka. "Emotional perception" can indeed determine the authenticity of what others say, but the prerequisite is that the other party needs to speak, and Tonaka did not say a word.


    ��Continue the trial?��


    Hearing Roan''s words, Winslow, Michelle, and Chenelle were all surprised. Mona frowned slightly, and Lacey was stunned for a moment. A flash of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she whispered:


    ��Surveillance equipment is getting old, right?��


    ��No need to age yet.��


    Luo An silently glanced at Lacey, who had never forgotten her original intention. Before anyone could continue to ask, Luo An opened the document bag first, distributed the contents to everyone, and said:


    ��This is what the Trace Inspection Section found in that apartment.


    ?Including a computer, a mobile phone, a half-burnt inverted cross, and some miscellaneous other items. Although the mobile phones and computers were set alight by fire, the key parts were still intact and the Trace Inspection Department has repaired them.


    ?Mona, Michelle, try to investigate some useful clues from them later. "


    "no problem."


    Michelle and Mona nodded in unison. Winslow picked up the half of the inverted cross, looked at it, and said:


    ��It seems that Tonaka, the missing Ashiya, and the dead Lesasi are indeed from the same organization.��


    Chenelle looked around and asked:


    ��I didn��t find the wooden necklace. Was it burned by the fire?��


    ?Luo An swallowed the food, picked up a napkin, wiped his hands, and said:


    ��This is most likely the case, so Tonaka��s number is currently unknown.��


    There was another moment of silence, and the food was quickly finished. Luo An patted Lacey on the shoulder and said:


    ��Michelle and I will be interrogating in the morning, and Chenille and Mona will be interrogating in the afternoon. You and I will come in the evening and let the others take a break.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Lacie nodded repeatedly. She also wanted to know how Luo An planned to open the stone''s mouth. She quickly picked up the blank interrogation record book and followed Luo An into the interrogation room.


    ??Walking into the interrogation room, Luo An asked Lacey to sit on the chair opposite the interrogation table. He moved the chair to the side of the interrogation table, sat down next to Tonaka, and said with a smile:


    ��Good afternoon, no, good evening, Mr. Tonaka.��


    ?Tonaka didn��t speak, didn��t even raise his head, just looked at the table legs quietly.


    Luo An was not in a hurry. When Lacey was ready, he chuckled and asked:


    ��Tonaka, do you have a good life?��


    ��?!��


    Hearing this question, Lacey was stunned for a moment. Before she could guess what Luo An meant, Luo An continued to ask:


    ��Tonaka, which hand did you use for the first time? Which hand are you most comfortable with?��


    ��Tonaka, do you ever owe anyone money? How much do you owe?��


    ��Tonaka, have you ever been beaten? Have you ever thought about taking revenge?


    ��Tonaka����


    Luo An kept asking Tonaka for more than ten minutes. All the questions he asked had nothing to do with this case. Basically, they were all trivial questions about Tonaka''s physiology, psychology, life and other aspects.


    ?While Lacey was recording carefully, she vaguely seemed to have guessed what Luo An was thinking, but she wasn''t too sure.


    ??Luo An didn''t care about the speculation in Lacey''s mind. He stared at Tonaka and asked a lot of questions slowly. Suddenly he raised his eyebrows and asked:


    ��Tonaka, you killed Lesasi with your own hands, right?��


    ?Tonaka still didn��t speak. Lacey frowned upon seeing this, feeling that Luo An��s plan had failed.


    ?Luo An instead raised the corners of his mouth slightly:


    "You''re right, that''s good. Then the second question is, Ashiya was also kidnapped by you that night, right?"


    ??The interrogation room was very quiet. Tonaka still didn''t speak. Lacey''s brows furrowed even more tightly, but the corners of Luo An''s mouth raised even more. He was silent for a few seconds and nodded with a smile:


    "You admit that you did it that night, which is very good. Let''s move on to the third question. Ashiya has been killed and silenced by you, right?"


    ?The room was quiet for a few seconds, and Luo An suddenly felt a little surprised:


    ��No? Then you gave her to someone else?��


    Tonaka: ������


    Lacie: ��?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 799： interrogation clues, photos

    Chapter 799 Interrogation Clues, Photos


    In the interrogation room, Lacey sat behind the interrogation table and wrote furiously. She looked very capable, but the expression on her face was a little confused.


    On the other side, Tonaka��s head, which had been lowered all day, was raised at this time.


    ?He stared at Luo An expressionlessly, seemingly without any emotion, but the few drops of sweat on his forehead showed that he was not as calm as he seemed.


    Next to him, Luo An, who was sitting at the interrogation table, was smiling and his tone was quite relaxed.


    ?Luo An was the only voice in the room, and it seemed as if he was talking to himself, but only the person involved understood the true situation.


    ��Ashiya was first captured by you, and then handed over to someone else. That person was your superior.��


    ?Luo An crossed his legs, smiled very kindly, and said:


    ��Isn��t Tonaka your superior? Is it someone else sent by your superior? I understand.


    ?What is your organization? Killer organization? no. Something to do with religion? yes. Great, next question����


    ?As time passed, Luo An asked more and more questions, the smile on his face became brighter and bigger, the sweat on Tonaka''s forehead became more and more, and his eyeballs moved faster and faster.


    ����Are there many people like you? Many, good, next question.��


    Luo An was not in a hurry and was about to continue asking. Tonaka''s expressionless face suddenly became very ferocious. He suddenly stood up and rushed towards Luo An, roaring loudly:


    "enough!"


    ??Tonaka''s sudden outburst startled Lacey. She subconsciously stood up, took out her pistol, and shouted:


    ��Don��t move! Luo An, stay back!��


    ��It��s okay, don��t panic.��


    As the target, Luo An didn''t panic at all, the smile on his face didn''t change, and he didn''t even move in his chair.


    Snapped-


    ?The next second, Tonaka��s outstretched hands stopped abruptly a few centimeters away from Luo An��s face, and the foot he wanted to take out was also stuck in place.


    ?Luo An reached out and knocked on the other party''s handcuffs, and said with a smile:


    ��Don��t get excited, Mr. Tonaka. The handcuffs and shackles will only become tighter and tighter as you struggle. The wound on your leg is not healed yet. There is no need to add more wounds to yourself.��


    ?Tonaka''s eyes were red, he was breathing heavily and stared at Luo An. After a long silence, he asked in a solemn voice:


    ��FBI, can you read minds? Where did you learn it? Did the Archbishop teach you that?��


    ???????????????????????????????Tonaka sat back on the chair with his head lowered, looking very dazed.


    ??Lacie breathed a sigh of relief, put away her pistol and picked up paper and pen again to record. Roan looked at Tonaka thoughtfully and noticed the key point in his words: Archbishop.


    As for the mind-reading ability mentioned by Tonaka, Luo An does not have this ability. He just slightly changed the idea of ????using "emotional perception".


    ��Emotional perception�� determines whether others are lying by feeling the emotional fluctuations of others when they speak. The emotional fluctuations of telling the truth are completely different from those of telling lies.


    Since Tonaka didn��t open his mouth, Luo An decided to start directly with the emotional fluctuations. Thinking and answering in his mind will also produce different fluctuations.


    ? So Luo An first asked a bunch of physiological, psychological and other questions to attract Tonaka''s attention and determine which fluctuations were true and which were lies.


    After finding the basis, and then the experiment confirmed that it was correct, Luo An began to formally ask questions related to the case.


    At that time, Tonaka was already disturbed by Luo An''s accurate guess. The more he wanted to hide the correct answer in his heart, the more the real answer would pop up in his mind. The more excited Tonaka became, the information Luo An got And the more.


    ??In the next forty minutes, Luo An continued to ask questions. Although Tonaka still did not speak, his face became paler and paler, and Luo An also got a lot of information.


    After continuing to ask three times to make sure everything was correct, Luo An smiled and patted Tonaka on the shoulder to express his gratitude, and then left the interrogation room with Lacey.


    After closing the door to the interrogation room, Lacey''s eyes sparkled, and she looked at Luo An with a look that was astonishing.


    ?Luo An gently rubbed his temples and said:


    ��Lacie, show me the interrogation record.��


    Lacey came to her senses and quickly handed the folder to Luo An, then leaned close to Luo An and asked in a low voice: "Luo An, can you teach me your mind-reading skills?"


    ?Hand out his hand to push Lacey''s head away, Luo An said speechlessly:


    ��This is not mind reading, this is micro-expression analysis.��


    ? Micro-expression analysis is Luo An''s cover for "emotional perception". As for why other micro-expression analysis experts can''t do this, Luo An can only answer in two words: talent.


    Don��t ask, asking is a gift.


    When Luo An said "You have no talent", Lacey suddenly fell into a gray circle and drew a circle.


    ??The rest of the detectives ignored Lacey. Seeing that there was something written in Luo An''s folder, they all hurried over. Chenelle was surprised:


    ��Tonaka spoke? Luoan, how did you do it?��


    ?Luo An smiled:


    ��He didn��t speak, but he answered the question.��


    ?)


    The words were a bit incomprehensible, but the agents didn''t care and quickly picked up the folder and read it.


    Most of the contents in the folder were questions and conversations, with correct or incorrect written at the back. After integrating all the information, it turned out that Tonaka was indeed the murderer of Lesasi and the man with the footprints who kidnapped Ashiya.


    ??The reason why Tonaka did this was because he was ordered by an "archbishop". The leader requested that Lesasi be killed and Ashiya be kept alive.


    Tonaka didn��t know why Ashiya wanted to kill Imre, the owner of the Cadillac, and he didn��t ask. After catching Ashiya, he contacted the Archbishop, who sent someone to take Ashiya away that night.


    After reading the first three pages of the interrogation record, Chenier looked stern and noticed the key issue:


    ��Who is this ��archbishop��? Did Tonaka say it?��


    ��I didn��t say anything, but I guessed from the name that the other person should be a cult leader.��


    ? Luo An shook his head. The other party did not speak. He could only ask some more specific questions to determine the correct answer.


    ?Luo An himself did not know the answer to questions such as the name and identity of the "archbishop", as well as the name of the cult and the location of its activities. He was unable to ask and could not get correct results. He could only get some side information.


    ?However, the contents of the folder are already full of achievements. Winslow and Chenelle were full of admiration and gave Roan a thumbs up.


    Mona next to her also spoke out at this time:


    ��Roan, Michelle and I also found some clues in that mobile phone and computer.


    ?For example, Tonaka has arrested other people in the past. There were quite a few men and women. I restored the photos of those people on my computer.


    ?In addition, I also retrieved Tonaka��s phone records. I should have a chance to locate the ��leader�� who gave him the order. "


    ��Well done!��


    Luo An was refreshed and praised Mona and Michelle loudly. After a brief discussion, the two women continued to track the situation of the "archbishop". Luo An and Lacey compiled information on other people captured by Tonaka. , Winslow and Chenier took Tonaka away and sent him to a temporary prison.


    After being busy for a long time, Luo An saw that it was getting late, so he waved his hand and announced that he would go home and rest after get off work, and would continue investigating the case tomorrow.


    They left in the parking lot. Luo An was still in the same car with Mona. The two arrived at the villa. Mona got out of the car first. Luo An was about to open the car door when his cell phone suddenly received a text message:


    ��Good evening, Team Leader Luo An, how about we have a chat?��


    Below the text, there are photos of the backs of Mona, Winslow, Michelle, Lacey, and Chenelle at work this morning, as well as a photo of a bullet.

    ? Sitting in the car, Luo An frowned slightly when he saw the content and photos in the text messages on his mobile phone. Without being too angry or nervous, he pressed the button and sent a text message back:


    ��Okay, how can we talk about it?��


    Within a few seconds, the phone received another text message. The person on the other end said:


    ��My people are watching you. Don��t talk to Agent Mona about this matter. I believe Team Leader Luo An doesn��t want to involve her.


    ?You next drive to a coffee shop in the southern part of the SAR, and we will contact you when you get there. "


    After reading the text message, Luo An��s expression remained unchanged. He put down his phone, opened the car window, and shouted:


    ��Mona, I��m going to buy something. When I come back later, remember to prepare red wine and candles.��


    ??Mona was opening the door of the villa. When she heard this, her hand movements paused, then she smiled and nodded in agreement:


    ��No problem, come back quickly!��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An smiled and waved to Mona, then turned the steering wheel, started the car and drove out of the community on another road.


    In another uninhabited villa far outside the community, through the glass, I saw Luo An driving his car slowly away from the downstairs. A young white man with a short haircut and no beard put down his binoculars, picked up his mobile phone and said:


    ��The flamingo has left, there is no unnecessary action, everything is normal.��


    "very good."


    A female voice sounded on the cell phone of the young man with an inch head. She praised him with a few words of satisfaction and then said:


    ��You continue to stay there and be sure to keep an eye on the woman in the villa.��


    "clear."


    ?On the other side, Luo An drove the car leisurely to the coffee shop mentioned in the message.


    The location of the coffee shop was a bit remote. It took Luo An a while to find it. He parked the car on the side of the road and got out of the car. Luo An opened the door and walked into the shop. He found five expressionless white youths sitting inside.


    Luo An looked around and asked with a smile:


    ��You don��t look like the people who sent me the message.��


    ?Standing at the front, a white young man wearing a black leather jacket on his upper body waved his hand. Two people behind him immediately walked towards Luo An and began to search Luo An for weapons.


    After taking away all the pistols, magazines, and daggers, the young man in the jacket took out a black hood from his pocket and put it directly on Luo An''s head without any explanation.


    Luo An didn''t struggle at all and allowed the other party to lead him out of the cafe. He got into an unknown car and left the area by turning left and right.


    ??This section of the road was quite long. Luo An sat in the car for nearly forty minutes before the car finally stopped slowly. The men in jackets took Luo An into a building.


    After turning left and right, Luo An finally felt that he was taken to a certain room. Someone pressed his shoulder, and Luo An sat on a sofa.


    ����


    The hood was taken off, and a bright light instantly shone on Luo An''s face. Luo An subconsciously squinted his eyes and found that there was no one in front of him, only a laptop on the table.


    Looking around, he found that this was a room the size of a bedroom. In addition to sofas, tables, and laptops, there were thirty people with their hands folded around their chests, leaning against the wall with expressionless faces, looking at Luo An without saying a word. White youth.


    ?These young white men all had bulging bags on their waists, and it was obvious at first glance that they were armed.


    ����


    ??While Luo An was observing the surroundings, the laptop suddenly lit up, and a white woman with short blond hair and a little freckles on her face who looked to be under thirty years old appeared on the screen.


    ��Good evening, Team Leader Luo An.��


    ??The white woman said hello with a smile, and then introduced herself:


    ��You can call me Sister Ellie.��


    ��Hello, Sister Ellie, I thought you were going to meet me in person.��


    Luo An naturally reached out and adjusted the angle of his laptop so that he could see it more clearly, and then said with a smile:


    "Besides, your outfit seems to have nothing to do with a nun." The woman who calls herself Sister Ellie is not wearing a black and white nun''s uniform with a hood on her head. She is completely dressed like an ordinary person''s shirt and jacket, just around her neck. I wore a small cross necklace, an inverted cross.


    ��Clothing and appearance are not important, belief in the soul is fundamental.��


    Sister Ellie said something pious, then brought the matter to the point and said with a smile:


    ��Leader Luo An, I invite you to join our Judgment Process Church.��


    ? Judgment Process Church, a name Luo An had never heard of before, his expression remained unchanged as he said:


    ��By bringing me here in this way, it makes me feel that your church is not very formal.��


    Sister Ellie smiled:


    ��Sorry, Leader Luo An, many people have misunderstandings about our church. We are doing this for your own good.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An did not ask too much about this matter and asked directly:


    ��Is it any good for me to join that church you��re talking about, Judgment��?��


    ��It is the judgment process of the church.��


    Sister Ellie held the inverted cross necklace on her chest with a pious look and said in a deep voice:


    ��Our Judgment Process Church is different from those illusory churches. We insist on reality and application, and everything is for believers.


    We study the relationship between the soul and the self, the universe and other lives, and can help believers open up various possibilities in education, quit reading, business management, marriage, deal with stress, work, art, interpersonal relationships, etc., and help you better Development, better improving the quality of life..."


    Sister Ellie said a lot. Judging from what she said, Judgment Process Church is definitely one of the few excellent organizations in the world. It always thinks about believers and considers believers everywhere. Everything is to help believers solve the problems they encounter in life. Difficulties.


    ??As Sister Ellie preached, the faces of all the white young people in the room showed enthusiasm for faith. Luo An also nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Sister Ellie''s eyes suddenly flashed with satisfaction when she saw this.


    After Sister Ellie finished telling her story, she licked her lips and asked with a smile:


    ��Leader Luo An, do you have any more questions?��


    ��There��s just one more little problem.��


    "Please say."


    ?Luo An smiled and asked:


    ��Excuse me, is there any benefit for me to join the Judgment Process Church?��


    ����


    Religion may be a gene in the bones. Luo An has always adhered to the principle of believing in it for a while when it is needed, and forgetting it when it is not needed. What stands out is that if you give an egg, you will believe it, and if you don''t give it, you will not believe it. pragmatism.


    ? Luo An��s new question is exactly the same as the previous old question, but the meaning behind the question is completely different.


    We are all smart people. You can use those teachings to deceive others. Forget about deceiving me. Let��s talk about it more realistically.


    Sister Ellie was not angry either. She just looked at Luo An deeply and did not answer directly. Instead, she ordered loudly:


    "Except for Harris, the others went to wait outside the room."


    After Sister Ellie finished speaking, the white young people in the room opened the door and filed out without asking.


    In the end, only the young man in the leather jacket was left. He closed the door, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Luo An quietly.


    ??Luo An and the young man in the leather jacket looked at each other, smiled and nodded at each other, then looked at Sister Ellie on the computer screen and said with a smile:


    ��Now that we��ve finished talking about the ethereal things, we can talk about reality.��


    ��There is no illusion, we have been helping believers.��


    Sister Ellie retorted to Luo An casually, then crossed her hands and said with a serious face:


    ��Roan Greenwood, you don��t want to be just the team leader.��


    Luo An: ������

 Chapter 801： The truth about the case given by the nun

    Chapter 801 The truth about the case given by the nun


    Hearing the familiar sentence pattern, Luo An had a strange expression on his face. He threw the messy thoughts in his mind into the trash can. Luo An asked with a smile:


    ��Sister Ellie, do you have a way for me to get promoted quickly?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Sister Ellie nodded with a smile and said directly:


    ��Our Judgment Process Church has many believers in the Federation, and the archbishop also has many rich and noble friends.


    ??As long as Leader Luo An joins the Judgment Process Church and believes in the Archbishop, with our help, your future will definitely be brighter than now. "


    Roan noticed the key point in Sister Ellie��s words and asked:


    ��Is the archbishop you are talking about the founder of the Judgment Process Church? What is his name?��


    ��The archbishop is the first person to feel God��s will, and he is also the one who is guided by God to compile the will. He is the leader of our church in the judgment process.��


    Sister Ellie held an inverted cross in her hand and looked pious, and finally added:


    ��As for the name of the Archbishop, Group Leader Luo An will have the opportunity to be received by the Archbishop after he joins the church, and he will naturally have the opportunity to know it at that time.��


    Luo An kept the useful information in mind and then asked:


    "So Sister Ellie, what is your status in the church? How can I believe that your promise will be effective?"


    ��There is no hierarchy among brothers and sisters in the church. We are all suffering, and we are all lost lambs in need of help.��


    Sister Ellie did not deviate from the teachings, but she still answered Luo An��s question and said:


    ��I was only guided by the Archbishop and am temporarily responsible for helping other believers. My commitment is the Archbishop��s commitment. Leader Luo An can rest assured.��


    The following sentence made Luo An''s eyes move slightly, but he did not behave strangely and continued:


    ��I can join the Judgment Progress Church, so how do you plan to help me get promoted quickly?��


    Sister Ellie smiled and said:


    ��Quick promotion requires merit and connections, and we can help Team Leader Luo An with these.


    But there is no free lunch in the world. For the development of the church and to help more lost sheep, Team Leader Luo An, as a fellow traveler, naturally needs to provide the strength within his ability. "


    ?? Luo An''s mouth was slightly seduced and he realized that the so-called power in the other person''s words was nothing more than paying for things.


    It is indeed a cult.


    Before Luo An could speak, Sister Ellie changed the subject and said:


    ��However, Leader Luo An is a believer who has just joined the church and has not yet received any benefits. Naturally, we cannot let you pay for it in vain.


    We are willing to show sincerity first and help leader Luo An integrate into the church better and faster. "


    After saying that, Sister Ellie called out Harris loudly. The man in the jacket who stood at the door nodded, immediately turned around and knocked on the security door.


    ?A few seconds passed, the door was pushed open, a young white man pushed a wheelchair into the room, and then walked out.


    ??Harris closed the door, continued to cross his arms and looked at Luo An quietly. Luo An didn''t care about Harris, and all his eyes turned to the wheelchair.


    ??The wheelchair is the most common kind of wheelchair on the federal market, but there is a young woman sitting in the wheelchair at this time. She has long light brown hair, two big eyes, and a rather delicate face.


    ??His mouth was covered with thick silver tape, and his arms were tied together with tight sleeves commonly seen in mental hospitals and locked tightly to his chest.


    ??The woman was the murderer of the co-pilot, Ashiya, who killed Imre, the owner of the Cadillac, and was later taken away by Tonaka, the man with the footprints.


    ��We heard that Team Leader Luo An is looking for her.��


    Sister Ellie on the computer screen smiled and said:


    "So we sent her to you. I believe that Team Leader Luo An will definitely accumulate a lot of credit for solving this case." Seeing Ashiya constantly glaring at him, Luo An frowned slightly and looked back at the computer screen. He said in a deep voice:


    ��Even with this woman, this case still cannot be solved.��


    ??In the two cases, Imre, the owner of the Cadillac, was killed by Ashiya, and Ashiya was kidnapped by the footprints man Tonaka. In the other case, Lesasi was killed by the footprints man Tonaka.


    The internal causes of the two cases are related to the church in the trial process. The specific situation has not yet been completely clarified.


    "how come?"


    Sister Ellie understood the meaning behind Luo An, and smiled and said the answer she gave to the case:


    ��Tonaka had psychological and mental problems. Lessas was one of his girlfriends. She chose to leave quietly because she couldn��t bear the torture of the other party. However, she was eventually found and killed by the angry Tonaka.


    As for Ashiya, she is also one of Tonaka''s ex-girlfriends... As for what she suffered, I believe that team leader Luo An is experienced and can definitely arrange it, right? "


    Roan understood Sister Ellie��s case arrangement. He took a deep look at the other party and said with a smile:


    ��It seems that Sister Ellie is quite confident and believes that Tonaka will not confess to the church during the trial.��


    Sister Ellie leaned back on the chair and said with a smile:


    ��Tonaka is a very pious child.��


    ?Luo An nodded and pretended to agree to the other party''s proposal and said:


    ��Okay, I will join the Judgment Process Church and agree to Sister Ellie��s arrangements for your case. Can I take Ashiya away now?��


    ��Don��t worry, Team Leader Luo An.��


    Sister Ellie shook her head. Harris, who was standing at the door, came over, took out a dagger, and inserted it on the table with a bang.


    Sister Ellie smiled and said:


    ��Since Tonaka had psychological and mental problems, he naturally ended Ashia��s life very quickly after kidnapping her.


    ??However, Tonaka has been captured by you, Team Leader Luo An, and it is up to you, Team Leader Luo An, to end Ashiya''s life. "


    ?The room instantly became extremely quiet.


    After a long silence, Luo An glanced at Ashiya, whose eyes were round and began to struggle wildly. He picked up the dagger on the table, looked at Sister Ellie on the computer, and said with a smile:


    ��If I��m not mistaken, you��ve got the video footage ready, right?��


    ��Although brothers and sisters in the church are not related by blood, our faith connects us. We should open our hearts and believe in each other, and no one will hurt each other.��


    Sister Ellie neither admitted nor denied Roan��s guess, but just smiled and said:


    ��Team Leader Luo An has been working in the FBI for so long and has killed many criminals in his hands.


    ??This time it��s just a woman. I believe Team Leader Luo An won��t be too embarrassed. "


    Having said this, Sister Ellie paused for a few seconds, and then added:


    ��In addition, Leader Luo An, as you saw just now, there are many believers from our Judgment Process Church outside this room. In order to protect themselves, they all have some weapons on them.


    I believe that Team Leader Luo An will definitely be able to tell which is the correct option. "


    Sister Ellie gave Luo An two choices: either kill Ashiya with a dagger on video and join the Judgment Process Church with a certificate of surrender; or be shot to death by people outside and leave his life in this room.


    Luo An picked up the dagger and walked slowly to the wheelchair. Ashiya struggled wildly in the wheelchair and soon ran out of strength. Finally, she took a deep look at Luo An, closed her eyes, raised her head, exposed her neck, and begged Luo An to give him a hand. She was so happy.


    ??Luo An shook the dagger, looked at Ashiya, looked at Sister Ellie on the computer, and finally turned his eyes to Harris at the door, a sunny smile suddenly appeared on his face:


    ��Sorry, I am a stronger person and I always like to make my own decisions.��


    The next second, the cold light suddenly flew towards Harris!

 Chapter 802： One against twenty-nine

    Chapter 802: One against twenty-nine


    ??In the room, before Luo An finished speaking, the dagger flew out of his hand in an instant, flashing a deep cold light, and flew straight to the young man in a jacket standing at the door.


    "snort!"


    ??The face of the young man in the jacket did not change. He was already prepared for Luo An to resist. He snorted and dodged the dagger, allowing the dagger to hit the wall behind him accurately. He took out the pistol from his waist and prepared to aim and shoot.


    The next second, the face of the young man in the jacket changed slightly, and the wheelchair actually flew towards him!


    ??Luo An knew that the dagger would most likely not kill Harris with one blow, so while throwing the dagger, he grabbed Ashiya and threw it to the ground. He picked up the wheelchair and hit Harris hard.


    Not only used the wheelchair to block Harris'' movements, but he also took this opportunity to quickly approach the opponent.


    Bang!


    The wheelchair rushed towards him. Harris subconsciously put away his gun and turned around to avoid it. The wheelchair hit the ground with a harsh metal collision sound. He successfully dodged the huge hidden weapon. Before Harris could breathe a sigh of relief, a whip kick suddenly appeared, and he hit hard. Kicked him in the head!


    ??Harris''s pupils shrank, and he didn''t understand why Luo An was so fast. His muscle reaction made him subconsciously raise his arm to block the side of his head, preparing to resist the blow.


    Bang!


    There was a muffled sound, and Harris''s eyes bulged. An irresistible force came from his arm, forcing his arm to hit his head hard. Harris'' whole body was like a straight pen. His body fell and his head fell first. land!


    �ˡ�


    ??The sound of grabbing the ground with his head resounded through the room. Harris''s eyes went dark, and his throat felt uncomfortable. He wanted to cough lightly, but instead he spat out a large mouthful of bright red blood.


    Luo An didn''t give Harris a chance to fight back. He bent down and grabbed the pistol in the opponent''s hand, and kicked Harris hard in the abdomen. Harris flew out like a rag doll and hit the opponent hard with a bang. It hit the wall and then hit the ground again.


    "you��"


    ??Harris''s face was covered with dust, his forehead and corners of his mouth were covered with blood, and he struggled to get up from the ground. As soon as he started to speak, Luo An walked up to him and raised his right foot again.


    Bang!


    ??Harris''s vision went dark, and he completely fainted and fell to the ground and lost consciousness.


    ??Hand out his hand to pick off the dagger he had just thrown away from the wall, Luo An quickly locked the door, walked quickly to Ashiya, and began to cut off the restraint sleeves on her arms.


    On the table next to her, Sister Ellie on the computer completely saw the scene where Roan defeated Harris, the man in the jacket, in just a few seconds.


    ?While showing surprise, Sister Ellie was not panicked or angry at all, and even clapped and praised:


    ��As expected of Team Leader Luo An, his skills are indeed extraordinary. Just now it really opened my eyes.��


    Unlike Sister Ellie, Ashiya on the ground was staring at Luo An. She had closed her eyes just now and waited for death, but Luo An suddenly picked her up and threw her to the ground, face first.


    ??Luo An didn''t care about Ashiya''s eyes. He cut off the restraint sleeves on Ashiya''s hands, looked back at the computer, and said with a smile:


    ��Thank you for the compliment. Since you think I��m good at it, please remove those people outside the room. I��m afraid of hurting them.��


    ��I like your humor, Team Leader Luo An.��


    Sister Ellie on the computer screen smiled and reached out to press a certain device.


    Sister Ellie''s movement fell, and a deafening banging sound suddenly sounded on the door of the room.


    ��!


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    Luo An just locked the door. The people outside didn''t knock the door open for a while, and then they started to take out their pistols and prepare to shoot at the door lock position.


    ??In the room, Ashiya''s face changed drastically. She pulled off the silver tape on her mouth. The action was too fast and it hurt. But now she didn''t care about it at all. She hurriedly reached out and grabbed Luo An''s arm and said:


    ��Bring me the gun and the dagger, and we��ll deal with those people outside together!��


    ?Ashiya was sitting in a wheelchair outside the waiting room just now, and took advantage of the situation to count the number of people outside, a total of twenty-nine people.


    ?Those people were still holding weapons, and she and Luo An were the only two people in the room. There was no doubt that this was an unequal battle at all.


    ??The moment Luo An rescued her, Ashiya understood that he and she had no choice, and today they could only fight to the death with those people. Since you have no choice, why not give it a try? Kill one without losing anything, kill two and earn one!


    A cold light flashed in Ashiya''s eyes, and she stared at the door. She just waited for Luo An to give her the dagger, and then started fighting for her life.


    Upon seeing this, Luo An took a deep breath and decisively inserted the dagger into the pocket on his thigh.


    ?Hand out his hand to push Ashiya behind the sofa, Luo An said expressionlessly:


    ��I rescued you to take you out alive, not to let you fight with those people. Your body is of no use to me.


    ?Just squat in the back and protect yourself. I will take care of those in front. "


    While driving to the coffee shop, Luo An guessed that there would be a fierce battle tonight, so he had already taken one [Stamina Potion], [Swift Potion], [Strength Potion], [Analgesic Potion] and [Hemostatic Potion] in advance. bottle.


    The medicine is now at its peak, and Luo An has the ability to deal with those people outside, but if Ashiya rushes up to fight with them and falls to the ground with blood, it will be like saving her in vain, and letting her stay behind to protect herself is the best solution. .


    ��??!��


    ?Hearing Luo An��s words telling her not to cause trouble, Ashiya looked at Luo An with wide eyes, angry and incredulous:


    "Are you crazy? Those people outside..."


    boom! boom! boom! boom!


    Boom��


    Before Ashiya could finish what she said, several gunshots rang out one after another, and the lock of the door was instantly smashed. People outside kicked it out, and the door fell straight to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.


    ��Just protect the computer and yourself, just lie down holding it!��


    Luo An''s face darkened when he saw this scene. He picked up the computer and stuffed it into Ashiya''s arms, kicked Ashiya behind the sofa, and then rushed towards the door at an incredible speed!


    ��Damn, this guy is a madman?!��


    ??Ashiya was kicked away by Luo An and landed face first on the ground again. She cursed loudly, carefully put the computer aside, quickly and carefully got up, and prepared to leave behind the sofa and go out to help Luo An.


    As soon as Asiya stuck her head out from behind the sofa, the scene at the door of the room immediately made her stunned.


    ?In just such a short period of time, four enemy corpses are already lying at the door of your room!


    Even at this moment when Ashiya was stunned, Luo An cut off the fifth enemy''s arm with a dagger in his right hand, shot him in the head with a gun in his left hand, and finally kicked the body not far in front of Ashiya, and then Charge towards the sixth enemy!


    One against twenty-nine sounds very scary, but in fact it is indeed not easy.


    Even though he had taken the potion, Luo An still did not let down his guard at all. While he moved quickly and carefully avoided the enemy''s gunshots and dagger slashes, he stood at the door of the room and did not go out. Instead, he lured the enemies outside into the room.


    People who often fight know that when facing a group of enemies, you must not rush into the crowd in a hurry. You should constantly keep distance so that you only face one enemy in a short time and never fall into the situation of being surrounded by a group of people. situation.


    Luo An then set the door of the room as a node. The door of the room was so big that only one or two enemies could enter at a time, which was just within Luo An''s attack range!


    simultaneously!


    "ah-"


    boom!


    Another piercing cold light flashed through, first cutting off the hand, then hitting the head. The corpse of an unknown enemy was kicked away by Luo An.


    ??Hand out his hand to rub the blood spattered by the enemy on his neck, Luo An leaned against the side of the door to avoid the gun, and shouted loudly outside the room:


    ��Go on, come on!��

 Chapter 803： The investigation team arrived and they were rude.

    Chapter 803: The investigation team arrived, rude


    ��Go on! Come on!��


    ??Luo An stood by the door, put the dagger in his pocket, picked up the gun on the body and replaced the magazine, and at the same time shouted loudly to let the enemy continue to attack.


    ?At this time, there were still nineteen enemies left outside the room. They looked left and right at each other, but no one rushed into the room first.


    At this time, the ground at the door of the room was covered with blood, and the light shone with a bright red color that made people''s hair stand on end. Several corpses lay crookedly on the ground at the door, and the eyes that had no time to close were just looking at the room quietly. outside.


    ?Outside the room, the nineteen enemies'' eyebrows jumped when they saw this scene, and even the hand holding the gun began to tremble. In their field of vision, the door was like the entrance to **** and there was no way back!


    ?In the room, on the side of the door, Luo An''s clothes and pants were splashed with a lot of blood from the enemy, and his feet even stepped on the enemy''s blood.


    There were also several wounds caused by enemies on the shoulders, arms, and ribs, but the conditions were not serious. In addition, Luo An did not feel pain now because he had taken [analgesic medicine] before, but his face was solemn and not very good-looking.


    Under the dim light, holding a dagger and a pistol, Luo An, standing in a pool of blood with a cold face, looked like a devil.


    Behind the sofa, Ashiya, who saw this scene, tightly held the dagger she picked up from the corpse. Her breathing was rapid, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.


    Ashiya has no intention of going out to help. She is even praying that Luo An will not regard herself as an enemy later.


    Screaming a few words, Luo An finally stopped shouting to save his strength.


    But time passed by, and the nineteen enemies outside the room still did not continue to attack, or they had already seen clearly that the first person who rushed into the room would not survive, and no one wanted to be the unlucky guy. , the two sides were so deadlocked for a while.


    ?This scene left Ashiya behind the sofa dumbfounded. She was in disbelief and shocked. She never expected that this battle would develop like this.


    ??Beside Ashia, in the half-open and half-closed laptop, although Sister Ellie couldn''t see it, she could hear the sound of the battle.


    ?Hearing Luo An''s stern shouting, but the believers outside did not respond, and did not even dare to continue entering the room, Sister Ellie''s expression suddenly darkened, and her face became extremely gloomy.


    After a few seconds of silence, Sister Ellie took out her cell phone and pressed a few buttons to send a message. The enemies outside the room and the corpses in the room all received the text message, and the cell phones all rang at once.


    Luo An was just about to find a mobile phone to check the situation. The eyes of the nineteen enemies who had checked the text messages outside suddenly turned red. They suppressed the fear in their hearts and rushed toward the door with a roar!


    ����


    ?Bang bang bang��


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    ??The room heard gunfire, shouts and the sound of daggers slashing again. Luo An didn''t talk nonsense and started fighting fiercely with the enemy again with a cold face.


    This time, the enemies rushed into the room at a speed many times higher than the last time. They fought against Luo An as if they were risking their lives. In a short period of time, Luo An actually changed from one against two to one against three, and even With one against four, all the bullets in the pistol were quickly used up!


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Behind the sofa, Ashiya cursed in a low voice when she saw this scene. She quickly searched the corpse for a pistol, aimed at the enemy and pulled the trigger to start supporting.


    ?Although she is still very afraid of the current Luo An, if Luo An falls, Ashiya''s next result will not be much better.


    boom! boom! boom!


    An enemy was killed with three shots. Luo An instantly changed from one against three to one against two. The pressure was greatly reduced, and he quickly defeated the two of them with a dagger.


    Before Ashiya could be happy, several more enemies rushed into the room. Two of the targets moved away from Luo An and rushed straight towards Ashiya.


    boom! boom!


    "damn it!"


    Being suppressed by the two shots and unable to lift her head, Ashiya immediately lay down behind the sofa and cursed.


    ?Bang bang bang��


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?The next second, Ashiya was about to fight back when suddenly far more intense gunshots were heard outside the room than before, as well as many screams and sharp shouts from men and women:


    ��Don��t move! FBI!��


    ��Put down your weapons! Get down on the ground!��


    "Hold your head in your hands! Hurry up! Hold your head in your hands!" Bang! boom!


    As A Shia''s face was full of surprise, the two enemies who rushed towards him were easily killed by Luo An''s pistol that he snatched from the enemy''s hands. The corpses fell forward in front of A Shia under the influence of inertia.


    ����


    Ashiya swallowed, looked away from the body, and turned to look at Luo An at the door of the room. She saw a group of heavily armed guys rushing in and rushed into the room. Two women quickly moved to Luo An''s side. Lived him.


    ��How are you, Roan?��


    "Where is the injury? Winslow, get the first aid medicine and bandages quickly!"


    ??The two women in Ashiya''s perspective were Chenelle and Lacey. Winslow also quickly helped Luo An out of the room, took out the medicine and asked the two women to help Luo An treat his wounds.


    On the other side, the two members of the SWAT team were stunned and moved when they saw the corpses of more than a dozen enemies in the room. The eyes they looked at Luo An changed completely, and they were extremely shocked.


    ?But putting aside the task, the SWAT team members couldn''t help but control Ashiya and the unconscious Harris on the ground and take them out of the room. The laptop was also delivered to Luo An by a SWAT team member with admiring eyes.


    ��I��m sorry to disappoint you, Sister Ellie.��


    Opening the laptop, Luo An looked at the woman on the screen, pointed at Chenelle and Lacey beside him, as well as Winslow and the SWAT team behind him, and said with a smile on his face:


    ��I��m sorry, I didn��t choose either of the options you gave me.��


    Seeing the people around Luo An, Sister Ellie''s face completely darkened, as gloomy as if she could drip water. Her tone was no longer as confident as before, and she said coldly:


    ��Leader Luo An, to be honest, there are people of mine in your villa, your girlfriend Mona����


    ��I��m fine, thank you for your concern.��


    Before Sister Ellie finished speaking, Chenelle took off her earphone and showed it to the computer. Mona''s cool voice sounded from inside:


    ��As for the guard you sent, he is doing well now and sleeping soundly.��


    ����


    Hearing this, Sister Ellie��s veins protruded on her forehead and her breathing became heavier.


    She originally wanted to ask Luo An how he sent the message for the FBI to find this place, but thinking of Mona''s computer skills, she finally had to take a deep breath, look at Luo An, and directly closed the video connection.


    ��It��s so rude, I didn��t even say goodbye.��


    ?Luo An smiled, took the communicator, and asked:


    ��Mona, can you find this woman?��


    ��I��m working hard, give me some time.��


    Mona on the other end of the communicator replied casually, and then asked very nervously:


    "How are you, Luo An? Are you injured anywhere on your body? Are they serious?"


    ��I��m fine. Remember to send a message as soon as you locate the other person.��


    ??Luo An and Mona exchanged a few words and then returned the contact device to Cheniel. Ashiya finally couldn''t bear it anymore and asked in silence:


    "Didn''t Harris and the others search you? How did these people find themselves here?"


    Looking at Ashiya who looked puzzled, Luo An touched his belly and smiled:


    "secret."


    ?Ashia��s mouth twitched, and just when she was about to speak, Luo An immediately said:


    ��We��ll talk about this later. Answer my question first. Who is Sister Ellie? What��s going on with the Judgment Process Church?��

 Chapter 804： Ashiya’s experience

    Chapter 804 Ashiya��s Experience


    ?At 11:30 p.m., southwest Washington, D.C., suburbs.


    ? Walking out of the building, Winslow led a group of SWAT team members to deal with the battle scene inside the building. Roan asked Chenier to lead Ashiya to the SUV aside, then waved to Lacey and whispered:


    ��There��s something you need to deal with.��


    Lacey��s expression remained unchanged and she asked:


    "What?"


    Roan pointed to Harris, the man in the jacket who was still unconscious on the ground, and whispered something. After hearing this, Lacey frowned slightly and nodded in agreement:


    "no problem."


    ?Luo An then added in a low voice:


    ��If you get into trouble, remember to swallow the chip.��


    ?The chip Luo An mentioned was the positioning device he obtained from the CIA after the previous [Salles case] (Chapter 633) ended.


    Just in case, Luo An established some rules not long after Winslow and Chenille joined the special investigation team and the six-person team was officially established.


    ?For example, during each case handling, everyone''s mobile phones will set up scheduled text messages to send to other people, and they need to be manually canceled. If they are not canceled, it means that something happened to the team member.


    ?In addition, everyone also racked their brains and devised some code words that only the six of them could understand.


    For example, Luo An said at the door of the villa before that he asked Mona to prepare red wine and candles. This was one of the code words. Red wine meant that there was a danger of bleeding, and the candles meant that Mona should be careful to inform other team members.


    On the way to the coffee shop, Luo An not only drank various potions, but also swallowed the modified positioning chip. The chip sent a signal every fifteen minutes. Chenille and Lacey relied on it. Found Luo An.


    "rest assured."


    ??Lacie smiled and made an OK gesture to Luo An, and then quietly left the scene with Harris.


    ??Luo An turned around and glanced at the busy SWAT team members. After thinking for a moment, he turned and walked into the car where Chenier and Ashiya were.


    ��Answer the question, Ashiya.��


    Luo An sat in the driver''s seat, turned to look at Ashiya in the back seat of the car, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Who is Sister Ellie?��


    Hands were cuffed, and Chenier next to her was still staring at her with a pistol. Although Ashiya was very unhappy, she still answered:


    ��I don��t know this Sister Ellie at all. It��s the first time I��ve seen her today.��


    ?Chenelle frowned slightly, picked up the pistol and knocked lightly on the car window. After two bangs, she said:


    "Don''t lie to us, Ashiya, if you don''t know that woman, why did that woman kill you?"


    ��I didn��t lie, I didn��t lie to you!��


    ?Ashia glared at Cheniel fiercely, then looked at Luo An and said:


    "As for why Sister Ellie wanted to kill me, it''s obvious that she came for you! I''m just a disposable tool!"


    Cheniel still wanted to speak, but Luo An interrupted her with a wave of his hand. "Emotional Perception" could feel that what Ashiya said was true, so he said again:


    ��Introduce the Judgment Process Church and tell us about your experience.��


    ?Taking a deep breath, Ashiya gritted her teeth and said that the Judgment Process Church is a perverted cult.


    ?Eighteen years ago, Asiya lived in a place in Ohio. One day when she was going out to play with her friends, she found an injured puppy on the side of the road, so she walked over to check it out.


    The next second, a car sped by. Before she could react, she was dragged into the car by the people in the car. Her mouth and nose were covered and she fainted instantly.


    ��When I woke up again, I found myself in a small room.��


    Ashiya��s eyes were red and her tone was very cold as she said:


    ��A man came into the room, claiming to be the messenger of God, and preached to me a bunch of Judgment Progress church doctrine.


    I was still young at the time and couldn��t understand what the other person was saying. I just cried and wanted to go home, so I was beaten. "


    Over the next few days, the man continued to preach the teachings of the Judgment Process Church to Ashiya. If he disobeyed, he would be beaten. If he obeyed, he would be fine. If he could memorize the teachings taught by the other party, he would get enough food.


    In the end, Ashiya was forced to choose obedience, memorize the teachings of the Judgment Process Church, and pass the so-called doctrinal examination.


    Listening to Ashiya��s description, Cheniel frowned, while Luo An noticed something and asked:


    ��Do you know Lesasi?��


    Taking the photo that Luo An handed her, Ashiya shook her head and said: "I don''t know her. In fact, the place I am at is just a small branch of the Judgment Process Church. There are many different Judgment Process Churches." Division.��


    As for Lesasi��s excellent management skills, Ashiya said that when they become adults, they will be assigned different learning directions based on their own conditions.


    ?For example, Ashiya has better physical fitness and has learned fighting and marksmanship. Leishas may be smarter, so she has learned more formal management knowledge.


    ?In addition to these, whether believers in the judgment process church are male or female, there is a must-learn lesson, **, which is used to **.


    Chenier��s face was gloomy, and Luo An frowned slightly. Waiting for Ashiya to calm down a little, he then asked:


    ��How did you leave the Judgment Process Church?��


    In Ashiya''s description, the branch management of the Judgment Process Church is quite strict, and it is impossible for believers to escape the supervision of managers.


    ��The Judgment Process The church has an archbishop, who is the founder of the church.


    ?There was also a nun named Maria who was an administrator who assisted the archbishop, the second in command of the church in the process of judgment.


    Ashia explained:


    ��About a year and a few months ago, some unknown conflict arose between the Archbishop and Sister Maria, which led to confusion within the branch management staff.


    ?Taking this opportunity, many of us took advantage of the chaos to escape. That Lesasi may also be one of the people from other strongholds who took advantage of the chaos to escape. "


    Chenelle asked in a deep voice:


    ��Did you call the police after you escaped?��


    ��I haven��t called the police, but someone has.��


    Hearing this question, Ashiya sneered and said:


    ��Those people were later taken away and never appeared again.��


    Considering that Sister Ellie said before that the archbishop knew people who were either rich or noble, one can imagine the fate of those who called the police.


    Recalling what Asiya said about the conflict between the archbishop and Sister Maria, she didn��t know Sister Ally, but Sister Ally said that what she meant was what the archbishop meant. Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and guessed:


    ��This Sister Ellie is most likely the replacement of Sister Maria.��


    Chenier nodded slightly, she also had this idea.


    After a few seconds of silence, Cheniel turned around and asked:


    ��Why did you kill Imre, the owner of the Cadillac, that night?��


    ??Ashiya defrauded the gun store of $3,000. Not long after arriving in Washington, D.C., she entered a private club and began to make money from her body.


    Considering that Imre is an old ladybug, even if the price cannot be negotiated, Ashiya has no need to kill him.


    ��Because that old guy is a ��peripheral believer�� of the Judgment Process Church!��


    Asia said that when she and Imre were chatting that night, Imre suddenly revealed something wrong in his words, and Asia was shocked and frightened.


    ?The opponent also realized this and was about to knock Ashiya unconscious before dealing with it. Ashiya quickly counterattacked and killed the opponent directly.


    Unexpectedly, Tonaka, the killer sent by the church, found her at that time. Ashiya was unable to defeat him and was eventually knocked unconscious and taken away.


    Jingle Bell-


    ?At this moment, Luo An��s cell phone suddenly rang, and Mona said in a deep voice:


    ��Luo An, I��ve located that woman!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 805： North Carolina

    Chapter 805 North Carolina


    ��Good.��


    ?Hearing that Mona successfully located the other party, Luo An quickly sat back in the driver''s seat and asked:


    "where?"


    ��In North Carolina, south of Washington, D.C.��


    ??Mona spoke quickly and said:


    ��I have already contacted you about the plane and you are ready to go at any time!��


    "very good."


    Luo An thought for a moment and said:


    ��Mona, go to the airport and prepare to meet us.


    Inform Michelle and ask her to come to the scene and **** Ashiya and the guy outside the villa back to the special investigation team. "


    "clear."


    ??Mona hung up the phone, and Luo An temporarily handed over Ashia to the four SWAT team members at the scene, and then quickly rushed to the airport with Winslow, Chenier, and the other twelve SWAT team members.


    From the passenger seat of the SUV, Chenier glanced at the troop carrier following behind and asked in a low voice:


    ��Roan, there is also a local SWAT team in North Carolina. You are taking the SWAT team from Washington DC with you this time because you are worried about...��


    ��The FBI and SWAT teams in North Carolina can��t be trusted.��


    ? Luo An shook his head. In Ashiya''s description, the church in the trial process sold children, raped, brainwashed its members, and defrauded people of money. It was an out-and-out cult.


    ??In addition, the stronghold that Ashiya originally escaped from was in North Carolina, and now Mona is also located in North Carolina, which shows that the Judgment Process Church has an absolutely huge root in North Carolina.


    The FBI database shows that the FBI in North Carolina has no clues in this regard. Luo An suspects that the local FBI high-level officials have been communicated with by the so-called patriarch.


    Chenier also thought of this possibility. She frowned and whispered:


    ��If there is really a problem with the local FBI in North Carolina, then we will only send a few people there this time...should we call in more people?��


    ��There are problems with the top FBI in North Carolina, but that doesn��t mean there are also problems with the local FBI at the grassroots level.��


    There was a glint in Luo An''s eyes, and Sister Ellie said both inside and outside her words that the archbishop followed a high-level route from top to bottom, which meant that grassroots personnel would not enter their field of vision unless there were special circumstances.


    Luo An then added:


    ��In addition, I will contact the commander later. I will bring more people with me on this trip, not less.��


    ??To capture the thief, capture the king first, hit the snake within seven inches, control the trial process at lightning speed and then leave quickly before the local people can react. The rest of the matter will be relatively simple.


    Otherwise, if you are surrounded by some local people, the situation will definitely be quite complicated. Those branches will deal with it later.


    ��So, we cannot delay this operation.��


    ??Luo An glanced at the rearview mirror and said to Chenelle:


    ��Contact Winslow and the SWAT team members in the car behind and ask them to take time to rest. We must not slow down our actions later and fight quickly.��


    "clear!"


    ?Chenelle nodded, immediately pressed the communicator next to her ear and started talking. Luo An also took out his mobile phone, found the number and called:


    ��Good evening sir, it��s me, Luo An, and I��m having a bit of trouble with this case����


    ?Ten minutes later, a plane soared into the sky in the night, leaving Washington, D.C., and flew straight to North Carolina in the south.


    Chenier and Mona sat at the front. They were not the main attackers of the next operation, so they did not take much rest and began to carefully review the battle plan to see if there were any omissions.


    Just in case, Luo An also took away all the mobile phones of everyone and gave them to the two girls for temporary safekeeping.


    ?Luo An, Winslow and forty heavily armed SWAT team members were sitting together. They were waiting for the main battle. Everyone closed their eyes and rested.


    ?More than an hour later, the plane arrived at the designated airport. Everyone got off the plane and immediately drove to their destination. They drove straight all the way. At about three o''clock in the morning, they successfully arrived near a two-story villa in the south of Henderson City.


    ��Wait a minute, Roan.��


    In the car, Mona, who was sitting in the back, kept tapping the keyboard with her fingers and suddenly said:


    ��The surveillance at the top of the nearby road showed that Sister Ellie and a few people drove away from here half an hour ago. What should we do?��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he asked:


    ��Can you find out which direction Sister Ellie went?��


    ��She is heading east.��


    Mona typed on the keyboard a few times, called up a surveillance video of a car driving, and replied: "But I don''t know what her ultimate goal is."


    ��Act in two teams.��


    ?Luo An did not hesitate, immediately pressed the communicator and ordered:


    ��Winslow, you lead half of the SWAT team to stay here and wait for my order to start the operation.


    ?Cheniel, you also stay here. After the operation is over, clean up the scene immediately, take away all useful items, and then evacuate the place quickly.


    The rest of the SWAT team come with me, let''s go after Sister Ellie! "


    "clear!"


    ??Everyone responded in unison and immediately divided into two teams according to the order and rushed in their respective directions.


    There was basically no traffic on the road in the early morning. Luo An drove the car as fast as a sharp sword.


    ??The SWAT team behind was a little slower but not too far behind. The two cars were driving at high speed and it didn''t take long before they caught up with the car of Sister Ellie and others.


    ??The distance between the cars on both sides was getting closer and closer. Luo An''s eyes flashed with a cold light, he pressed the communicator next to his ear and shouted:


    ��Action!��


    "clear!"


    When the order was given, Winslow and the SWAT team members near the distant villa, as well as the SWAT team members in another car behind Luo An''s car, responded in unison, and both parties immediately started taking action.


    ?Behind and behind the villa, Winslow and a group of SWAT members rushed into the villa with guns in hand.


    ��FBIOpenTheDoor!��


    ��Don��t move! Put your hands up!��


    "lay down your weapon!"


    ��Put your head in your hands! Get down! Get down!��


    On the other side, on the highway, Luo An stepped on the accelerator. The car suddenly accelerated and hit the right rear of Sister Ellie''s vehicle.


    Bang!


    ����


    Under the action of inertia, the car Sister Ellie was in immediately began to tilt out of control. The front of the car hit the railing, and the entire car was lying on the road.


    Standard American stop!


    ��FBI!��


    ??The SWAT team members behind them followed closely, immediately stopped the car and ran out, holding weapons and surrounding the cars crossing the road without blind spots. The leading team member shouted loudly:


    ��Put your hands where I can see them! Get off the car little by little! Don��t make any other movements!��


    Luo An also walked out of the car unhurriedly at this time and found that there were three people in the sideways car, two men in suits and a white woman. The woman''s face Luo An had just seen not long ago, it was that Ellie nun.


    Surrounded by more than a dozen black gunpoints, the three people in the car had no choice but to get out of the car.


    Sister Ellie looked gloomy and stared at Luo An. Luo An smiled slightly, found handcuffs with his own hands and cuffed the other party:


    ��In the evening...no, good morning, Sister Ellie, we meet again.��


    Sister Ellie took a deep breath, and the ugly expression on her face slowly disappeared. She looked at Luo An quietly and said softly:


    ��Leader Luo An, I suggest you let me go, otherwise what will happen next may not be very good for you.��


    "Really? Then I want to see it more."


    ?? Luo An smiled even brighter, and at this moment, Cheniere��s voice sounded through the communicator in his ear:


    ��Luo An, everything goes well at the villa.��


    ��Good, pack your things and start retreating.��


    Jingle Bell-


    As soon as she finished speaking, the backpack behind Mona, which was used to carry everyone''s mobile phones, suddenly rang.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 806： The Story of the Judgment Process Church

    Chapter 806: Judgment Process: The Story of the Church


    Jingle Bell-


    The sudden ringing of a cell phone instantly attracted everyone''s attention. Mona found the cell phone and found that it was Luo An''s cell phone that was ringing, and on the screen was a strange number she had never seen before.


    Sister Ellie smiled slightly:


    ��Leader Luo An, I think����


    ��Mona, turn off your phone.��


    Roan turned his head and glanced at Mona, interrupted Sister Ellie and said:


    ��You can��t make or receive calls while on the move, have you forgotten?��


    ��Sorry, it��s my problem.��


    ?Mona was not angry. She glanced at Sister Ellie calmly and directly pressed the power button of her phone.


    The smile on Sister Ellie''s face disappeared instantly, she stared at Luo An and said:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, you are like this����


    Before Sister Ellie could finish her words, Luo An interrupted her with a wave of his hand and ordered loudly:


    ��The suspect was successfully arrested, clean the battlefield, and retreat immediately!��


    ��Understood!��xN


    ??Everyone responded in a loud voice, automatically dividing the work to clean up the scene, and escorted Sister Ellie and the two men in suits to the car, giving Sister Ellie no chance to continue speaking.


    Sister Ellie: ������


    ?The group of people simply packed up and quickly left the area and returned to the airport. Not long after everyone arrived at the airport, Winslow, Chenier and their group also returned smoothly to join everyone.


    ??No one was killed on Winslow''s side, but two SWAT team members suffered minor scratches, which were not serious.


    Not only that, Winslow and the others also brought back a middle-aged white man smelling of alcohol, an injured and fainted young white man, and a boxy safe that was as high as a person''s waist.


    ?Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Chenier coughed lightly and explained:


    ��This is the safe in the villa. We didn��t bring professionals on this trip and couldn��t open it on site, so I just removed it from the wall.��


    ??Looking at the cement that was still connected to the safe, Mona''s eyelids jumped, but Roan gave Chenelle a thumbs up:


    ��Well done.��


    Chenelle smiled, and Luo An pointed to the middle-aged white man sleeping on the ground next to him, smelling of alcohol and drunk, and asked:


    ��Who is this guy?��


    Chenelle had a strange look on her face and turned to look at Winslow. Winslow also had a strange expression on his face and replied:


    ��He is the Archbishop of the Judgment Process Church.��


    ����


    Mona was full of surprise. In Ashiya''s previous description, the archbishop of the Judgment Process Church was a well-dressed man with a smile on his face all the time. He was polite in speaking and doing things. In fact, he liked to torture women on C. A man disguised in a suit The perverted devil below.


    But this guy on the ground does not look like a homeless man, but he is not much better either.


    Just as Winslow was about to explain, Luo An suddenly frowned slightly, looked up at the dust rising in the distance, waved his hand and said:


    ��Everyone, get on the plane immediately! We��ll discuss the details after we leave here!��


    "clear!"


    ??Everyone responded in unison, quickly packed up their things and quickly boarded the plane. The dust in the distance was getting bigger and bigger, and the motorcade underneath the dust gradually appeared in front of everyone''s eyes.


    Luo An''s expression remained unchanged, and he was the last one to board the plane. The plane immediately started to taxi. A convoy of more than thirty cars wanted to chase it, but in the end it was a little slower. He could only watch the plane as the sun rose. For a moment, it shot up into the sky in one go.


    ��Shit!��


    In the motorcade, a white man in his fifties, wearing a suit and with a Mediterranean hairstyle, looked at the plane flying away with the sunrise. His eyes were full of unwillingness and anger. He cursed a few times in a low voice and took out his hand. I found a number on my phone and called it:


    "Sorry, I was a little late and didn''t intercept them. I''ll leave the rest to you."


    At the same time, everyone in the plane in the sky saw through the windows a convoy of more than thirty cars on the ground. While they were in disbelief, they all breathed a sigh of relief.


    Several SWAT members looked at each other and looked at Luo An, who was sitting far away, with admiration. There is no doubt that Luo An''s action plan of "direct beheading and rapid evacuation" was very correct. A few minutes later, when the plane was surrounded by those convoys, it was hard to predict what would happen next.


    ??Roan didn''t pay attention to the looks of the SWAT team members. At this time, he was sitting with Mona and was listening to Winslow''s explanation.


    Winslow said that the injured and fainted white young man was the church��s new accountant, who was mainly responsible for handling financial matters within the church.


    During the raid on the villa, the accountant was injured by a grenade. He thought Winslow and others were going to kill him, so he confessed everything out of fear.


    ��That sleeping guy��s name is Xavier Lancaster, and he is indeed the archbishop and founder of the Judgment Process Church.��


    Winslow pointed to the middle-aged white man who was still sleeping not far away and said:


    ��The accountant said that a year and a half ago, the second-in-command of the Judgment Process Church was not Sister Ellie, but a nun named Maria.��


    Archbishop Xavier founded the Church of Judgment Process just to make money. So when the church was founded, Xavier kept trying to get money from rich people, but it had no effect, because those rich people were very realistic, and Xavier could not help them at that time. What assistance is provided.


    Later, Xavier met Maria somewhere and attracted her into the church.


    ?Compared to Xavier who was good at giving speeches, making up doctrines, and deceiving believers, Maria was a very skillful woman.


    ? In the name of the first nun under the Archbishop, Sister Maria put the church''s rules and regulations, punishments and rewards, promotion channels, etc. in order for the trial process in less than a few months.


    She helped Archbishop Xavier, first getting to know many politicians through the young men and women in the church, and then getting to know more businessmen through the politicians, and finally led to the rapid development of the church during the trial process and the establishment of many branches.


    ?Mona nodded slightly, those branches should be where Ashiya and Lessas were imprisoned.


    Luo An thought for a moment and asked:


    ��Asia said before that there was a conflict between the archbishop and Sister Maria, which caused chaos within the branch management staff. She and a group of people took the opportunity to escape. What happened?��


    ��The accountant doesn��t know much about this. He only knows that Archbishop Xavier and Sister Maria have different goals.��


    Winslow replied:


    ��Xavier was trying to make money from the beginning to the end, while Sister Maria wanted to use the church as a springboard to enter the political arena.��


    Mona frowned when she heard this, shook her head and said:


    ��That Sister Maria can��t possibly succeed.��


    Roan did not comment on this, Winslow continued:


    ��In short, there was a conflict between the two, and the longer the time went by, the deeper the conflict became.


    One time, Sister Maria discussed with a certain politician again and asked the other party to introduce her to the political arena. After being rejected again, Maria was very angry and took out some videos, photos and other items, and began to blackmail the politician. .


    ?The politician was very angry when he saw this. He changed his attitude and agreed to Sister Maria. Then he called Archbishop Xavier and asked him to get rid of Sister Maria. "


    ??Mona frowned when she heard this:


    ��Xavier agreed?��


    ��That��s right, he agreed.��


    Winslow chuckled and replied:


    ��The accountant didn��t explain the specific situation clearly. Anyway, it was a back-and-forth battle. In the end, Mary lost and died, and the church itself was seriously injured during the trial.��


    ??Mona lowered her head and said nothing. Roan pointed to Sister Ellie in the distance and asked:


    ��What��s going on with this woman?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 807： open safe

    Chapter 807 Open the safe


    ��She is the second helper Xavier has found.��


    Speaking of this, Winslow had a strange expression on his face:


    ��As I said just now, Xavier is good at writing and brainwashing, but not good at managing people, rules and regulations, etc.


    After Maria''s death, Xavier dealt with these tasks for a while, but due to lack of distraction, the church was in a mess. In the end, he had no choice but to find someone to assist him again. "


    Considering that the previous relationship between him and Sister Maria was purely cooperative and there was no physical contact, it eventually led to Sister Maria "betraying herself".


    ??When Archbishop Xavier selected someone this time, he first chose from the church nuns who had slept with him, then examined the other person''s character and ability, and finally selected Sister Ellie to assist.


    At the beginning, Sister Ellie was indeed a wholehearted assistant to Archbishop Xavier, helping him handle church affairs, doing everything in an orderly manner, and restoring the church headquarters and branches bit by bit to their original state.


    ??One time when Archbishop Xavier planned to "deepen his relationship" with Sister Ellie again, Sister Ellie suddenly asked someone to take him under control and began to take charge of the church alone.


    Archbishop Xavier wanted to resist, but in the end he discovered that Sister Ellie had successfully bribed people to ignore him during her management work some time ago, and Xavier once again became a loner.


    Even this time Sister Ellie did something more thorough. She asked Xavier to preach through video recording from now on, directly cutting off Xavier��s contact with the congregation.


    Sister Ellie did this because she was a girl who was abducted from another state and brought into the church when she was still Sister Maria.


    ?In order to escape from the church, Sister Ellie learned to be patient and ingratiating, and even developed very powerful skills. This was also the reason why Xavier chose her as his assistant in the first place.


    After officially becoming the second nun, Sister Ellie''s thoughts of leaving the church completely disappeared. The brave dragon slayer finally turned into a dragon. She chose to ignore Xavier and put him under house arrest, planning to torture him until death.


    Sister Ellie also inherited the connections of Archbishop Xavier, met and flattered businessmen and politicians through various means, continued to develop the Judgment Process Church, and tried to complete the path that Mary failed to succeed in the first place.


    After encountering two "betrayals" in a row, and this time he was even imprisoned, Xavier became disheartened and began to drink heavily.


    ����


    After Winslow finished describing, Mona was stunned and stunned. She turned to look at Luo An, only to find that Luo An frowned and said nothing. Mona quickly asked:


    ��Luo An, what do you think?��


    ?Luo An shook his head and said:


    ��I think Xavier��s view of women is really bad, and his life as a person is a tragedy that makes people want to spit on him.��


    ?Winslow nodded slightly, quite agreeing with Luo An��s evaluation, while Chenelle��s head was full of black lines.


    ��That��s not what I��m asking about!��


    ??Mona rolled her eyes at Luo An, then pointed to the safe not far away and whispered:


    ��I��m afraid there are items from politicians and businessmen connected to the Judgment Process Church.


    Sister Ellie said before that she has a way to quickly promote you, Luo An, which shows that there is a high probability that there are people in Washington, DC who are related to the Judgment Process Church.


    ?These hot potatoes...what are you going to do next? "


    ?Luo An was silent for a moment and did not answer Mona��s question directly, but said:


    ��The safe is too big and it��s inconvenient to move it back and forth. Let��s find a way to open it first.��


    ? Winslow and Chenelle looked at Roan with surprise. Mona looked at the safe, which was a digital code lock, and asked:


    ��Do you have a way to pick the digital code lock?��


    ��No way, but I have a way to get the numeric password.��


    ??Roan smiled and patted Mona on the shoulder, and then, under the unclear eyes of Winslow and Chenelle, he left his position and walked towards Sister Ellie who was being held tightly in the distance at the other end.


    ??Walking to Sister Ellie, Luo An asked directly without any nonsense:


    ��What��s the combination to that safe?��


    ?)


    Seeing Luo An walking towards her, Sister Ellie was a little confused at first. When she heard the question, the confusion on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of disdain, and her tone of voice was also quite contemptuous:


    "Leader Luo An, do you think I will tell you? I suggest you..." "Let me ask you a question, why is there so much nonsense."


    ??Luo An waved his hand to interrupt the other party again, quietly irritating Sister Ellie, making the other party emotional, and then asked:


    ��How many digits is the password? Three digits? Four digits? Five digits?�� It turns out to be eight digits.


    What is the first number? 1? 2? 3? ��it turned out to be 6.


    Continue, what is the second digit? ����


    Everyone''s attention around this small area was attracted to Luo An.


    ??At first, both the two men in suits who were handcuffed and the SWAT team members next to them felt that Luo An was being mysterious. They had never seen such a soliloquy interrogation.


    But as time goes by, the thoughts in everyone''s minds become more and more weird as the expression on Sister Ellie''s face becomes more and more exciting.


    They saw with their own eyes the expression on Sister Ellie''s face, from indifferent at first, to shock, and finally to sweat on her forehead, trembling lips, and looking at Luo An in disbelief.


    ����The password is 8 digits in total, and the numbers are 6-3-7-9-1-1-4-8, which is very good.��


    ?A few minutes later, Luo An smiled and nodded with satisfaction. He reached out and patted Sister Ellie on the shoulder to express his gratitude. Then he walked to the safe, squatted down and pressed the numbers.


    ?Winslow, Chenelle, Mona, a group of SWAT team members, the two men in handcuffed suits and others looked closely at Luo An, staring at Luo An''s hand as he pressed the last number.


    ����


    bang!


    ??The electronic sound sounded, and the safe door automatically opened. The password was completely correct.


    ��??!��xN


    In an instant, the sound of gasping was heard from everywhere in the cabin at the same time, causing the temperature of the cabin to drop a lot.


    Winslow and Chenelle��s eyebrows were racing, and Mona looked shocked. They had seen Roan interrogate the footprint man Tonaka before, but they were still shocked to see Roan open the combination lock so easily.


    ?All the SWAT team members looked at each other and were dumbfounded. They thought Luo An was playing tricks before, but they didn''t expect that he actually asked for the password by talking to himself.


    The two men in suits looked at Luo An as if they had seen a ghost. Thinking of the "mind reading skills" demonstrated by the archbishop, they now strongly doubted that Luo An was the one who could truly read minds.


    ?Compared to others, the owner of the safe, Sister Ellie, was even more stunned. She felt a chill rush from her waist to the back of her head, and the hairs all over her body stood on end.


    ?After becoming the second-in-command of the Judgment Process Church, Sister Ellie became aware of Archbishop Xavier��s ��mind-reading�� deception. Xavier even stated that there was no mind-reading ability in the world.


    ??Ke Luoan''s actions just now clearly show that mind reading is real, for example, he can do it!


    ��Impossible! Absolutely impossible!��


    At the end of her mind, Sister Ellie''s breathing became very rapid, she shook her head wildly and shouted:


    ��Leader Luo An! You must have known the password a long time ago, right? Someone in the church betrayed me! Damn it, Sonof is better than eating����


    ??Luo An was too lazy to talk to Sister Ellie and waved his hands to let the SWAT team members control her. Then he opened the safe and frowned when he saw the items inside, and put them all into Mona''s large backpack.


    ?The plane arrived in Washington, D.C. not long after. As soon as the cabin door opened, an expressionless white man came over and said in a deep voice:


    ��Hello, Leader Greenwood, please come with me.��

 Chapter 808： george town

    Chapter 808 Georgetown


    It was around five o''clock in the morning at an airport in Washington, D.C. The rising sun dispelled the chill and made people feel quite warm when it shone on their bodies.


    Under a plane, the members of the special investigation team and the SWAT team were not in the mood to watch the sunrise. They all had serious faces and stared closely at the group of men in suits in front of Luo An.


    There were more than a dozen men in suits, lined up in front of Luo An. The leader was a middle-aged white man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who was slightly half a head taller than Luo An.


    ��You asked me to follow you, but I have never seen you at the FBI headquarters in Washington.��


    Luo An didn��t panic at all. He glanced at the people behind the man with gold-rimmed glasses, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and asked:


    ��Which department are you from?��


    ??The man with gold-rimmed glasses also had a calm expression. He took out an ID with a light gold badge from his pocket and said:


    ��My name is Klaus and I am from the Federal Ministry of Justice - National Security Department.


    Leader Greenwood, I have received news that you and your investigation team are suspected of leaking federal secrets. Please cooperate with your team members and come back with us to investigate. "


    The Ministry of Justice is an administrative department of the federal government. It is responsible for ensuring the implementation of laws, safeguarding the legal interests of the federal government, protecting the law, and combating domestic or transnational crimes.


    The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Marshals Service, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons are all agencies under the Department of Justice.


    In addition, the Ministry of Justice also has the Office of Emergency Management, the Ministry of Justice Police, the National Judicial Library, the Ministry of Justice Inspector General, and other departments, which add up to nearly a hundred weird and bizarre departments. The National Security Department is also one of them.


    ��It turns out to be Team Leader Klaus of the National Security Department.��


    Luo An had a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and then asked:


    ��I have a question. You just said that our special investigation team is suspected of leaking state secrets. What secrets are they specifically?��


    ��It��s not convenient to go into details here.��


    Klaus stretched out his hand and shook it with Luo An. After shaking it, he was about to take back his right hand, but Luo An held him tightly. He tried to break free but it was as if he was caught in an iron vise. His eyelids twitched slightly and he replied:


    ��We also ask Team Leader Luo An to cooperate with us to go back and investigate first. Don��t worry, it��s just a routine inspection. Our National Security Department will never unjustly accuse others.��


    ��Hehehe����


    Hearing that Klaus was lying without drafting and telling lies with his eyes open, Winslow had no professional training and accidentally laughed out loud. Chenelle and Mona also had sneers on their faces, looking at Klaus and the others. Very unkind look.


    ��This mission of our special investigation team is absolutely confidential, but you have received news that we are suspected of leaking federal security information. I now strongly suspect that there is something wrong with the whistleblower, and he is the criminal who leaked the secrets.��


    The smile on Luo An��s face became brighter and brighter, and he said:


    ��Leader Claus, please cooperate with our special investigation team, accept our investigation, and find out the relevant information about the whistleblower.


    Don��t worry, it��s just a matter of simple cooperation. Our special investigation team will never unjustly accuse you of leaking federal secrets. "


    Klaus''s eyebrows were beating fast. He was about to speak when he heard a "click" sound. He looked down and found that Luo An had taken out the handcuffs and cuffed him.


    ��?!��


    ?Klaus��s expression darkened, and the group of detectives in suits behind him had even more ugly expressions. They reached directly to their lower backs and prepared to draw their guns.


    ? Winslow, Chenelle and Mona saw this and all moved their hands to the pistols on their backs.


    The SWAT team members next to them were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and all raised their guns slightly, without pointing them directly at anyone.


    Klaus was still quite calm. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:


    "Leader Luo An, you don''t seem to understand the seriousness of the matter. I''m warning you, once..."


    "There''s no need to talk about this nonsense. Everyone knows what''s going on." Roan waved his hand to interrupt Klaus. Before the gloomy man could continue speaking, he suddenly turned his gaze to the distance, and saw a sudden sudden change in the distance. A cloud of dust kicked up.


    The dust approached quickly, and soon two cars arrived at the side of the plane. A white man wearing a suit and sunglasses ignored Klaus and others, walked up to Luo An and handed him a mobile phone, and said at the same time:


    ��Leader Greenwood, please come with me.��


    Without waiting for Luo An to answer, Klaus asked coldly:


    ��The Ministry of Justice is handling the case. Which department are you from?��


    ??The man in sunglasses glanced at Klaus expressionlessly:


    ��WhiteHouse.��


    ����


    The expression on Klaus''s face froze instantly, and the men in suits behind him were also stunned.


    The expressions of Winslow, Mona and Chenelle also changed. After reading the phone, Luo An smiled and returned it to the other party. Then he took the backpack behind Mona and said:


    ��Mona, Chenelle, you lead the team to **** the prisoners on the plane back to the FBI headquarters in Washington, and remember to ensure their safety.


    ?Winslow, take these friends from the National Security Department back to the special investigation team to rest for a while. We will discuss everything after I come back. "


    Seeing the look in Luo An''s eyes as he handed it to her, Mona breathed a sigh of relief. Chenille and Winslow were also relieved. Klaus wanted to say something more, but neither Luo An nor the man in sunglasses paid him any attention. Just got in the car and left here.


    ??Looking at the two cars leaving quickly, Klaus''s face was extremely ugly. After a few seconds of silence, he took a deep breath, turned to look at Winslow, and said:


    "Hello, Agent Winslow, this may be a misunderstanding today. Please help to unlock the handcuffs. I need to go back and discuss this matter with my superiors."


    Winslow grinned with a friendly smile, waved his hands gently, and a group of SWAT members immediately surrounded Klaus and others.


    ������xN


    ?At the same time, two cars in the distance were moving forward at high speed. The one in front was responsible for opening the road. Luo An and the man in sunglasses sat in the back car together, looking at the rapidly regressing scenery. Luo An rubbed his temples and was silent in thought.


    ?Two cars left the airport and entered the main road. Not long after entering the main thoroughfare in the center of Washington, DC, they suddenly changed direction and instead of heading towards the White House, they drove towards the northwest of DC.


    Luo An didn''t panic at all when he saw this scene, and the expression on his face remained very calm.


    ?The two cars continued to move forward not long after, and finally stopped in front of an unremarkable two-story building on a street in George Town.


    ??The man in sunglasses quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Luo An. Luo An stepped out of the car and thanked him casually. The other party then led Luo An to the small building and rang the doorbell first.


    The doorbell rang, and after a few seconds, the door opened from the inside. The man in sunglasses stretched out his hand to signal Luo An to come in, while he stopped and stayed outside the small building.


    ??Luo An carried his backpack and stepped into the small building. An old white man wearing a waiter''s uniform came over immediately. He smiled and said hello to Luo An, and stretched out his hand to indicate that he would take the backpack.


    ??Luo An looked deeply at the old white man, paused for a few seconds before handing the backpack to him. The old white man smiled, then took away the weapon, and then led Luo An towards the depths of the small building.


    ?After turning a few corners, the old white man stopped in front of a dark brown door, knocked on the door and said:


    ��Mr Greenwood has arrived.��


    "come in."


    Hearing the sound inside, the old white man turned around and bowed slightly to Luo An, opened the door and invited Luo An to come inside.


    ??Luo An walked into the room and immediately saw two acquaintances.


    Mr. Clement, and Trick-Kennedy.

 Chapter 809： federal reserve

    Chapter 809 Federal Reserve Board


    ?When standing in the corridor, the door gave the impression that the room inside was not very big. After Luo An stepped into the room, he realized that there was something inside, and the area was not small at all.


    ??The room is generally rectangular, with huge globes and quaint bookshelves placed on the ground around it, and many European paintings from unknown periods are hung on the walls.


    In the center of the room, there is a large square dark brown wooden table. There are two high-backed wooden chairs placed around the wooden table, totaling eight. The wooden table is empty with nothing.


    Continue walking inside, there is a fireplace at the end of the room. The temperature is still too low at this time, so there is no need to light the fire.


    In the middle of the fireplace and the wooden table, there are four dark red sofas, two long and two short, surrounding it. Mr. Clement and Trick Kennedy are sitting on two of the sofas.


    ?The whole room is very big, but there is no window.


    Roan''s eyes moved slightly and his expression remained unchanged as he walked to the sofa. At this time, in addition to Mr. Clement and Trick Kennedy, there were two strangers on the sofa.


    One is an elderly white man wearing reading glasses, with a wrinkled face, and looks to be in his sixties or seventies.


    ??The other is a white woman in her fifties who wears myopia glasses, is a bit fat, and has red curly hair. She looks at Luo An with a smile.


    ��Luo An, sit down.��


    Mr. Clement smiled at Luo An, waved his hand for him to sit on the sofa, and then extended his hand to introduce the identities of the two strangers:


    ��This is Mr. Maximilian from the White House, and this is Ms. Ingeborg from the Federal Reserve Board.��


    Roan had guessed the identity of the elderly white man before Mr. Clement introduced him, so he was not too surprised.


    ??Ms. Ingeborg��s identity shocked Luo An.


    Federal Reserve, full name Federal Reserve System, abbreviated FRS, also known as the Federal Reserve System, referred to as the Federal Reserve, or M Fed.


    ? ? Needless to say, the last name is well known all over the world. Luo An has never seen anyone from that department after working in the FBI for so long. He didn��t expect to meet him here today.


    As for the positions of the two men in the White House and the Federal Reserve Board, Mr. Clement did not say, and Luo An did not intend to ask, but he already had some guesses in his heart.


    ?Suppressing the shock in his heart, Luo An''s expression still didn''t change much. He smiled and greeted the two of them, and finally said:


    ��Just call me Luo An.��


    ��I��ve heard the name Roan Greenwood a long time ago.��


    Maximilian, who was wearing reading glasses, smiled, narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo An, and said:


    ��First it was in the reports of some news media in New York, then in the case files, then in the case detection rate documents in Washington, and finally in the mouth of Mr. President.��


    At this point, Mr. Maximilian paused, then turned to the other three people and smiled:


    ��You know what Mr. President said? He said that Luo An looks almost exactly like he did when he was young!��


    Maximilian burst into laughter as he finished speaking, as did Mr. Clement, Trick-Kennedy and Ms. Ingeborg.


    The president of the Federation in 2007 is a well-known president who successfully came to power with 4 points of perseverance, 3 points of hard work, and 93 points of my father, the president.


    Appraisals of appearance vary from person to person, and everyone��s aesthetics are different.


    ?However, when a TV station asked a passerby why she should vote for Mr. President, her answer was simple - this man is so naive and stupid that he can''t do bad things.


    ��I like this joke.��


    Ms. Ingeborg clapped and laughed, then turned to look at Luo An and asked:


    ��I heard, Luo An, you worked on Wall Street before signing up to join the FBI.


    Can you tell me why you made this choice? FBI salaries are not as high as those on Wall Street. "


    ��It��s true that money is made fast on Wall Street, but it disappears even faster.��


    ?Luo An spread his hands and replied without blushing or heartbeat:


    ��Besides, money can��t be earned, and people always have to find goals that they are interested in, right?�� Ms. Ingeborg followed up and asked:


    ��Do you like investigating crimes?��


    ��I don��t just like investigating cases.��


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    ��I also like the bonuses you get for solving crimes.��


    Ms. Ingeborg blinked, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence. Mr. Clement next to her smiled and said:


    ��Ms. Ingeborg, don��t underestimate the bonus Luo An talks about.


    ??He relied on these bonuses to buy a villa and a luxury car, and his earning speed was no slower than on Wall Street! "


    Ms. Ingeborg raised her eyebrows in surprise. Trick Kennedy glanced at Roan with a smile, and then added:


    ��For example, the villa that Luo An bought in Washington, D.C., I have seen on the house selling website before. Luo An directly bought it for the full price, which I couldn��t do!��


    ?Trick Kennedy is very rich, but most of it consists of fixed assets and various investments, and he cannot afford to spend millions of dollars in cash in a short time.


    Ms. Ingeborg��s eyes widened and she said in disbelief:


    ��How much money does the FBI make from solving crimes?��


    ��No, only Luo An can make money like this.��


    ?Trick Kennedy glanced at Luo An with envy and jealousy, shook his head and smiled:


    ��His 100% detection rate is not something ordinary people can achieve.��


    Ms. Ingeborg looked at Luo An deeply for a few seconds, then looked at Mr. Clement and smiled:


    ��You��re so lucky.��


    ? Mr. Clement laughed, chatted briefly, brought the matter to the point, and asked Luo An to describe the investigation of the case.


    ??Luo An briefly described the investigation experience of the case, as well as the trial process and the story between the archbishop and the two nuns, and finally said solemnly:


    ��In that safe, there were more than twenty video tapes, two hard drives, four notebooks, and a thick account book.


    No one has seen the contents inside, they are all in the backpack I brought. "


    After Roan finished speaking, the room fell silent. Trick Kennedy poured him a glass of water. Mr. Clement, Mr. Maximilian and Ms. Ingeborg all remained silent.


    After a moment of silence, Mr. Clement, Mr. Maximilian and Ms. Ingeborg silently exchanged several looks. Finally, Mr. Clement looked at Luo An and said in a deep voice:


    "Luo An, the follow-up work of this case will be handled by the Ministry of Justice. You can go back and summarize the relevant case documents, and I will ask someone to pick them up."


    ��Yes, sir.��


    ??Luo An nodded and agreed. The things in the safe were hot potatoes. Mr. Clement should leave them to others to handle, lest the special investigation team encounter something bad later.


    After briefly explaining for a moment, Mr. Clement, Mr. Maximilian and Ms. Ingeborg changed the topic to other aspects. Not long after chatting, Mr. Maximilian stood up to end the meeting and prepared to leave this place. Room.


    ��By the way, there��s one more thing.��


    As soon as Mr. Maximilian stood up, Ms. Ingeborg glanced at Trick Kennedy and said:


    ��There are still shadows of some people behind this case. Luo An, you probably haven��t noticed it. Let��s go back and ask Trick to help you deal with it.��


    Roan turned to look at Trick Kennedy, who had an awkward smile on his face. He opened his mouth to explain, but when he saw the look in Ms. Ingeborg''s eyes, he finally closed his mouth angrily.


    Luo An��s eyes moved slightly, he quickly thought of something, and smiled:


    ��I know what Ms. Ingeborg said. The relevant people have been captured by me and can be interrogated at any time.��


    ��?!��x4


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 810： real political center

    Chapter 810 The real political center


    ?5:30 in the morning, inside an ordinary small building in Georgetown, Washington, DC.


    ��Have you caught the person involved?��


    ��Can we interrogate at any time?��


    ?At the square dark brown wooden table, Ms. Ingeborg looked at Roan in disbelief. The faces of Trick Kennedy and Mr. Clement next to her were also full of surprise.


    ?Mr. Maximilian, who had a wrinkled face and was leaning on a cane next to him, was also stunned by Luo An''s words and asked with a smile:


    ��Do you know who the other party is?��


    ��This is not known yet.��


    Luo An shook his head honestly, and then added:


    ��However, there are other people secretly involved behind this case, and I did discover some of them during the investigation of the case.��


    When Luo An took over this case, he really didn''t notice anything unusual. At first, it was just two ordinary murder cases. What attracted attention was that the murderers in the two cases were most likely related.


    While investigating the case, the appearance of the same inverted cross and wooden necklace made Luo An realize that there might be a big problem behind the case.


    ??The time when Luo An really felt what was behind the case and what was abnormal was when he received the text message and went to the coffee shop.


    ? ? Walking into the coffee shop, Luo An immediately relied on the "emotional perception" in his mind and noticed a bad emotion that made people feel chilly and wanted to kill him without any concealment.


    ?That person was Harris, wearing a leather jacket and standing at the front.


    ??Seeing Sister Ellie in the small room later, Luo An thought that Harris''s mood came from the other party''s order.


    ?But later, when Sister Ellie put forward the conditions and Luo Anxu and Weishu temporarily agreed, Harris''s evil thoughts did not diminish at all, but became more intense.


    During the negotiation between the two, Harris showed a lot of impatience. Later, when Luo An struck back, Harris became more excited, giving the impression that he finally no longer had to wait and could start killing Luo An.


    Sister Ellie went to great lengths to bring Luo An to negotiate, obviously with the intention of taking him under her lap and treating him like a dog.


    ?As a subordinate of Sister Ellie, Harris always had the idea of ????killing Luo An. Luo An had many speculations about this.


    ?For example, Harris has a mental problem, one of Harris'' relatives and friends has a grudge against Luo An, or Harris is not Sister Ellie''s person, and he still obeys the orders of others.


    No matter what kind of guess, it means that there is something wrong with Harris, so Luo An did not kill him directly at that time, but knocked him out, and then asked Lacey to take him away secretly, and temporarily imprisoned him in a place other than Lacey. The place where no one can find it is reserved for subsequent interrogation.


    ??Hearing Ms. Ingeborg''s words just now, Luo An immediately remembered the incident and found that his guess at the time was indeed correct.


    There is someone behind Harris. This guy is an undercover agent disguised as Sister Ellie. The real goal of that mysterious man is actually to get rid of himself through Sister Ellie''s hands.


    ? Luo An selectively stated half of his findings and analysis and left out the other half.


    Even so, after listening to Luo An''s description, Trick Kennedy still opened his mouth in a daze, and Ms. Ingeborg looked at Luo An in surprise.


    Maximilian looked up and down, looking at Luo An with approval for several seconds, and finally turned to look at Mr. Clement, who was also shocked, and said with a smile:


    ��Clement, Ingeborg is right, your luck is so good that it makes people jealous.��


    ? Maximilian has worked in White House for most of his life and has met too many people. In front of him, who is seventy-four years old, a forty-year-old is considered a young man.


    Even so, it was the first time for Maximilian to see a young man like Luo An, who had a keen perception, quick thinking, and extraordinary skills, and could easily defeat enemies several times more than one person.


    In addition, Luo An has no shortage of political thinking, understands the rules and can use them.


    The most important thing is that Luo An is only in his twenties this year, not thirty, and there are still decades waiting for him in the future.


    ?At the end of his mind, Mr. Maximilian had a hint of imperceptible jealousy in his eyes. He took a deep look at Luo An, reached out and patted Luo An on the shoulder, and finally left the room without saying a word while leaning on crutches. Mr. Maximilian��s figure disappeared, and Ms. Ingeborg slowly walked up to Luo An:


    ��You gave me a surprise today, Luo An.��


    ??She was a little shorter, but she still looked at Luo An carefully several times. With a smile on her face, she stretched out her hand to help Luo An smooth the wrinkles in his clothes on his shoulders.


    Finally, Ms. Ingeborg took out a dark business card with gold text on it from her pocket and handed it to Luo An, smiling:


    "Next month, there will be a dinner and dance at my manor. You and Trick will come together. Remember to bring a female companion."


    ��No problem, ma��am.��


    Luo An took the business card and nodded with a smile:


    ��I will definitely not be absent.��


    ��Good.��


    ??Ingeborg''s smile became more kind, and then she turned to look at Trick Kennedy aside. The smile on her face disappeared, and she rolled her eyes at him and said:


    ��I really don��t know what little Robert has taught you... You should handle the rest and don��t make any mistakes again.��


    "must."


    The smile on Trick Kennedy''s face was a little awkward. Ms. Ingeborg didn''t say anything more. She turned around and patted Luo An''s arm lightly, and walked out of the room without looking back.


    At this time, there were only three people left in the room, Luo An, Mr. Clement and Trick Kennedy. Luo An looked around and just about to speak, Mr. Clement shook his head and led the two of them to leave together. This room.


    An old white man who looked like a butler stood at the door. He returned the weapons and equipment to Luo An with a smile, but the backpack disappeared. Mr. Clement didn''t say much when he saw this, and led Luo An and Trick to the door of the small building. .


    ?Leaving the building and walking to the street, Trick Kennedy patted Roan on the shoulder apologetically, but said nothing. Then he nodded to Mr. Clement, trotted towards the car in the distance and left in a hurry.


    Mr. Clement waved, and a car slowly stopped in front of him:


    ��Luo An, get in the car with me.��


    ��Yes, sir.��


    ?Luo An and Mr. Clement got into the back seat of the car together, the door was closed, and the familiar secretary started to start the car and move forward slowly.


    After a few seconds of silence, Mr. Clement said:


    ��Trick just sat in that position and didn��t know much about some things, so he didn��t react immediately. He didn��t let you take over the case on purpose. Someone figured it out and took advantage of it.��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he asked:


    ��Sir, what is going on?��


    ??Luo An sensed that someone was targeting him behind this case, but who that person was and why he did it? Luo An, who did not interrogate Harris, has not yet completely figured it out. There are still some questions that he does not understand.


    ??As for Roan��s question, Clement did not answer immediately, but asked:


    ��Luo An, do you know where this is?��


    Luo An looked at the scenery outside the car window and replied:


    ��Northwestern Washington, D.C., Georgetown.��


    ��That��s right, Georgetown.��


    Mr. Clement nodded slightly and said:


    ��It��s only two miles away from White House, an eight-minute drive. Many well-known politicians from across the federation, such as Congress, the Federal Court, and White House, live nearby.


    ?In addition, many ministers, deputy ministers, and important officials of federal government departments also live in this area. "


    Mr. Clement paused for a few seconds, finally turned to look at Luo An, and said with a smile:


    ��So some people say that Georgetown is the real political center of the Federation.��

    Chapter 811 Behind the case


    Mr. Clement��s words don��t sound problematic on the surface. He just briefly introduced the geographical location of Georgetown and the characteristics of its residents.


    Thinking of Mr. Max Millian in the small building just now, Ms. Ingeborg''s scolding of Trick Kennedy, and the awkward smile on Trick Kennedy''s face, Luo An couldn''t help but flash through his mind. Lots of ideas.


    ?One of the words stood out and jumped into Luo An��s head: DeepState


    ? Many people in the world do not believe that DeepState exists in the federation, but Luo An believes that it is indeed the case, because when a certain rainbow tie leader participated in the presidential debate, he publicly stated that "the entire political system of the federation has been manipulated."


    When the host asked what evidence there was, the other person said: "I know it is manipulated because I have used it."


    The answer is well-founded and the host cannot refute it.


    In addition, many agencies in the federal government and officials in certain key positions do not need to participate in elections like members of Congress or the president.


    Ordinary people have not even heard of them, but these people can sit in the same position for more than ten years or decades, and even pass the position to the next generation of the family.


    ?These people may have limited power individually, but as long as they choose to cooperate and obtain a chain of interests, their power will definitely be enough to influence the entire federation.


    ??The Kennedy family''s curse is very famous, but in recent years the curse has slowly disappeared. The Kennedy family has also begun to become active again in the federal government and federal politics. They have most likely made some concessions and deals.


    ? A lot of random thoughts came through his mind. Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he lowered his head in silence. Mr. Clement found nothing unusual in Luo An and continued:


    ��The Office of Integrity and Compliance at the FBI��s Washington headquarters may sound like this department has little work, but this position is important to some people.


    ?This case can be regarded as a revenge by those people against Luo An, but this time the revenge was a bit excessive. Some people broke the rules of the game to bully the big ones.


    ?Trick Kennedy did not discover this in time, and was used as a promoter. This time it is his problem, and he will have full authority to handle the follow-up. Luo An, you don��t need to worry too much. "


    ??Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and understood what Mr. Clement meant, that is, the black hands behind this case were those from the Jewish camp.


    Thinking back to the experience of chatting in the small building just now, Luo An felt at ease. It seemed that Mr. Maximilian, Ms. Ingeborg, as well as Mr. Clement and Trick Kennedy were most likely to be in the same situation. camp.


    As for the Kennedy family as a whole, Luo An has no way of judging.


    ?Ethnically speaking, the Kennedy family does not have Jewish ancestry, but in many cases when issues of interest are involved, it is difficult to explain their position clearly.


    ?After a moment of silence, Luo An raised his head and asked:


    ��Sir, it��s not appropriate for us to be so passive all the time.��


    ??Luo An is not afraid of direct confrontation with real swords and real guns. He also knows how to use a gun from behind, and will not hesitate at all when it is time to take action.


    ??But as the saying goes, there is no way to guard against thieves day and night. Luo An has already figured out the entire story of this case.


    That is, the [Polonium 210 Poisoning Case of Veranith] was solved, the Jewish director of the Office of Integrity and Compliance was kicked out, and a chess piece was played in the Jewish camp, making the other party bear a grudge against Luo An, the investigator of the case.


    Someone in the Jewish camp chose to take advantage of Mr. Clement''s promotion and the opportunity of Trick Kennedy, who had just taken over the job and was too busy with too many tasks, to take advantage of the opportunity of Mr. Clement''s promotion and use the hands of the FBI Deputy Director to investigate this case. Fishing in troubled waters was handed over to Trick Kennedy.


    ?Trick Kennedy didn''t react, and since his subordinate Luo An had the most outstanding case handling ability, he subconsciously approached Luo An and hoped that he would handle the case.


    ?Trick Kennedy had just been promoted and would have a lot of contact with him in the future. In addition, the case seemed to be just two ordinary and not difficult murder cases, so Luo An took over the case.


    ??The black man in the Jewish camp then contacted Harris, the jacket man in the Judgment Process Church, and planned to use Sister Ellie to quietly attack Luo An.


    As for why the black man was able to contact the Judgment Process Church, Luo An was not surprised.


    The main messenger of the Loli mourning incident is a Jew. Getting something for nothing and liking to go astray are engraved in the Jewish genes and have not changed for thousands of years.


    ???More than half of the messy things in the Western world that are related to money, are not in compliance with the law, and are not in line with human values ????have gone away.


    Hearing Roan��s question, Mr. Clement slowly shook his head and whispered:


    "It''s not time yet." Roan frowned slightly, and just as he was about to continue saying something, Mr. Clement interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then said:


    ��Don��t worry, Trick Kennedy will be taken advantage of by the other party this time, and he won��t let it go.


    In addition, the other party broke the rules this time, so the compensation they deserve will not be less, and your share will not be less either.


    Don��t worry, after this incident, those people will stop targeting you. "


    ?Luo An was silent for a few seconds, nodded and said nothing more.


    The so-called compensation to Luo An is not something he really cares about. Again, there is no reason to guard against thieves day and night. I believe that the Jews are kind and honest, and I believe that they will not continue to take revenge...


    ? Luo An feels that this possibility is even more outrageous than the story that the Federation gave up capitalism and started to adopt Communism.


    In addition, Luo An''s memory is not very good, and he doesn''t like to take revenge overnight for fear of forgetting.


    ?Looking at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window, Luo An''s eyes flashed with an imperceptible cold light.


    After a brief chat, the car arrived at the FBI headquarters in Washington after a short period of time.


    Mr. Clement got out of the car and signaled to Luo An not to rush, but to ask his secretary to drive him to the "Insomnia Building" and then back.


    Under the "Insomnia Building", Luo An smiled and thanked his secretary. The secretary smiled and nodded. The two exchanged brief greetings for a few seconds before the secretary started the car and headed back towards the headquarters building.


    ?Looking at the car''s slowly disappearing figure, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered for a few seconds. He first took out his mobile phone and called Lacey and asked her to bring someone back. Then with a smile on his face, he turned and walked towards the inside of the building.


    Not long after returning to the special investigation team, Sister Ellie from the Trial Process Church, the drunk archbishop, the accountant and two men in suits were all taken away by people sent by Trick Kennedy.


    As for Team Leader Kraus and others from the Ministry of Justice, they were also taken away for interrogation by people sent by Trick Kennedy on charges of leaking state secrets.


    ��People from the National Security Department are charged with leaking state secrets����


    Chenier looked at Klaus and others who were being pushed into the car downstairs, and complained speechlessly:


    ��What is this, excellent technical ability?��


    ��No, it should be said to be a professional counterpart.��


    On the desk behind him, Winslow smiled while holding a coffee cup, then looked around and asked:


    ��Isn��t Lacey back yet?��


    ��Luo An said it��s almost time and he��s on his way back.��


    Michelle yawned and asked casually:


    ��Since everyone has been taken away, are we no longer needed in the aftermath of this case?��


    ��Probably, you can ask Luo An later.��


    ?Chenelle walked to Lacey��s desk, bent down and rummaged through a few packages of snacks, and said while eating:


    ��He and Mona are working on something in the team leader��s office.��


    ??The three of them were chatting while eating, and the topic quickly moved to other aspects. At the same time, in the team leader''s office, Luo An looked serious, and Mona''s cheeks turned red:


    ��Luo An, are you sure you really want to do this?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 812： identity

    Chapter 812 Identity


    Special investigation team office area, team leader��s office.


    Behind the desk, Mona sat in the chair that used to belong to Luo An. She kept rubbing her hands and her cheek skin flushed with excitement:


    ��Luo An, are you sure I can hack into WhiteHouse��s network system this time?��


    ����


    ?Luo An raised his hand and rubbed his temples, with a helpless expression on his face.


    When they were in that small building before, neither Mr. Clement nor Trick-Kennedy specified the true identities of Ms. Ingeborg and Mr. Maximilian.


    ??After returning to the special investigation team, Luo An wanted to investigate the identity information of the two people, so he logged into the FBI''s internal database and began to check the relevant information of the two people.


    Ms. Ingeborg��s information was quickly found by Luo An, and the information showed that the other party served on the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRS).


    *The overall design system of the Federal Reserve is very complex, mainly including the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Open Market Committee, the Federal Reserve Bank, 3,000 member banks and 3 advisory committees, in addition to many other departments.


    The Federal Open Market Committee, where Ms. Ingeborg serves, gathers in Washington eight times a year, on average once every six weeks, and is responsible for deciding and executing open market operations, reviewing economic and financial conditions, and determining appropriate monetary policy stances.


    ?Every time the Federation releases water to harvest the world, there is more or less the participation of certain members of this department.


    ???Although Ms. Ingeborg''s specific position is not that high, she has served in a key position in the department for more than thirty years. Her connections and power cannot be underestimated.


    Keeping this information in mind, Luo An then prepared to check Mr. Maximilian''s information.


    ??As a result, the FBI database only showed basic information such as Mr. Maximilian''s name and his employment in the White House Personnel Office.


    ?If you want to see more specific content, the FBI database either shows that it is not available, or that Luo An does not have this permission.


    ??Just before Lacey came back, Luo An called Mona into the team leader''s office and asked her to help with the operation.


    ?Mona was busy for a while, and finally came to the conclusion: Mr. Maximilian��s information was in the FBI database and was among the most confidential.


    She can find a way to get the specific content, but she can''t do it without leaving any traces. The FBI Supervision Department will definitely send someone to the special investigation team to question her later.


    ?? Luo An immediately stopped Mona after hearing this.


    Luo An actually didn''t feel too surprised about this. Just like in the country on the other side of the ocean, some departments involved in confidential information only showed the names of the main and related figures, and no other information could be found. The whole world So true.


    ??Knowing that Luo An still felt a little headache, Mona saw the expression on Luo An''s face, thought for a few seconds and came up with her plan:


    Since the FBI database route is not feasible, it is better to go directly to the WhiteHouse internal network route.


    Luo An was stunned when he heard this. Mona seemed to mean: Since the train can��t be used, let��s just build a plane.


    ��It��s not that exaggerated!��


    ??Mona waved her hand and stood up, walked to Luo An, and explained in a low voice:


    ��Whether it is an FBI internal network, a CIA internal network, or a White House internal network, the external structure may be different, but the internal structure is actually the same.


    That is, at the most superficial level, there is a surface-level information database for ordinary agents; the next level is a mid-level information database for managers; and the next level is the core information database that only the chief personnel of the department have the right to log in to. "


    "I see."


    ?? Luo An nodded. He and Mona had studied network knowledge for a period of time and understood the system design idea that looked similar to a pyramid structure. He continued:


    ��The problem is that WhiteHouse is the political center of the federation, and the network system there is definitely more strict than the FBI.��


    ��You told a very funny joke, Roan.��


    A strange look flashed in Mona''s eyes, and she whispered: "In fact, the number of hackers who successfully invade the surface network of White House every year is far more than the number of hackers who successfully invade the surface network of the FBI''s internal database."


    ?Luo An turned his head in surprise. Mona nodded solemnly and introduced Luo An in a low voice:


    ��For federal network talents, the best first echelon is in the navy, army and air force, the second echelon is in some federal secret agencies and the Pentagon, and the third echelon is in CIA, NSA, NRO, FBI and other departments.


    As for White House, the whole world knew that it was the political center, so the truly confidential information files were never kept there.


    ?The network system there is the previous generation network protection system given to them by the Pentagon, and it also plays a role in selecting talents.


    ??A hacker who has hacked into the surface network of WhiteHouse has proven his strength, and then the military, Pentagon or our FBI and other departments will come forward to take him away. "


    ����


    After listening to the introduction of Mona, a veteran in the industry, Luo An''s eyelids jumped. He really didn''t expect that things would unfold like this.


    ??Mona chuckled, reached out and patted Luo An''s arm, and then whispered:


    ��The things you want to check this time should not be considered particularly confidential information. They are most likely on the surface network of WhiteHouse.


    I''m sure I can hack into it and investigate. What do you think? Do you want me to give it a try? "


    After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An slowly shook his head:


    ��Forget it.��


    ??Now that we already know that Mr. Maximilian works in the personnel office in the white house, there is no need to continue to look up the following information at the risk and trouble.


    Mona''s description just now also made Luo An more convinced of the existence of DeepState in the Federation. Thinking of the respectful attitude of Mr. Trick Kennedy and Mr. Clement when talking to Mr. Maximilian, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly. , many thoughts flashed through my mind instantly.


    ??When Mona heard Luo An rejecting her proposal, she immediately crossed her arms and snorted in displeasure. Luo An put his thoughts aside for the time being, stepped forward and hugged Mona, and said with a few words of laughter:


    ��By the way, please help me check Chief Trick Kennedy��s recent work content and schedule.��


    ?Mona frowned slightly and asked in confusion:


    ��Why are you checking him?��


    ��The trial process has taught me that there are many people involved in this case and there are a lot of things going on.��


    ?Luo An rubbed Mona��s shoulders and replied with a smile:


    ��Although Chief Trick Kennedy sent someone to take over the follow-up work of this case, our special investigation team is the main person to solve the case after all. We cannot completely relax in a short period of time. It is always right to be cautious.��


    ��That makes sense.��


    ?When it comes to business matters, Mona nodded in agreement with a serious face, walked behind the desk, sat on a chair, and started typing on the computer keyboard.


    ??Luo An picked up the coffee pot and poured a cup of coffee, put it on the table and pushed it to Mona, and asked casually:


    ��Can you find out where Trick Kennedy went today?��


    "Um��"


    ??Mona��s fingers were flying, she quickly found out the relevant information and replied:


    ��He went to George Washington University and hasn��t come back yet.��


    ??The university is located in the center of Washington, next to the State Department, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and only a few blocks from the White House. It is a well-known private university in the federal government and has trained many world-class figures.


    ?Thinking of what Mr. Clement said about the black hands of the Jewish camp, and thinking of the moment after Trick Kennedy left the building, he drove to George Washington University...


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes, picked up the coffee pot and poured himself a cup of coffee.


    ?At this moment, there was a knock on the office door. Michelle opened the door and said:


    ��Lacie is back.��

 Chapter 813： conspiracy

    Chapter 813 Conspiracy


    ??In the office area of ??the special investigation team, Lacey sat on her chair, picked up the coffee cup and drank it all in one gulp, then let out a long breath:


    ��I��m really exhausted.��


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    ?Michelle picked up the coffee pot and refilled it for Lacey. Roan picked up a bag of snacks from Chenelle��s table and put it into her hand, asking:


    ��How was the journey?��


    ��This bag of snacks seems to be mine?��


    Taking the snack and looking at the package, Lacey rolled her eyes at Chenelle, opened the package and ate while saying:


    ��When I got your call from Luo An and rushed to Washington, D.C., there was no problem.


    ?As I entered Washington, D.C., not far from the FBI��s Washington headquarters, I noticed a suspicious car starting to follow me.


    I was about to call you for help when the car suddenly turned away and gave up following me. I didn��t see the car again until I returned to the building. "


    Winslow and Chenelle frowned and looked at Luo An, who said:


    ��Mona, Michelle, investigate the surveillance and find out who was driving that car.��


    ��Leave it to us.��


    ?Mona and Michelle nodded together, sat back in their seats and started typing on the computer. Luo An was silent for a few seconds and said:


    ��I��m going to the interrogation room.��


    Chenelle quickly asked:


    ��Do you want me to interrogate with you?��


    Luo An waved his hand without looking back:


    ��No, I just have a brief chat with Harris.


    Chynielle, call Chief Trick Kennedy and ask him to send someone here to pick him up. "


    ?Chenelle nodded and accepted the order, found her mobile phone and made a call. Winslow looked around, stood up and walked to the interrogation room:


    ��I��ll go there and wait for Luo An to see if he needs any help.��


    "me and you togather."


    ??Lacie also got up and followed, and the two of them walked to the door of the interrogation room. The door of the interrogation room was closed and no sound came out.


    ?Less than five minutes later, the door to the interrogation room opened from the inside, and Luo An walked out expressionlessly.


    Winslow and Lacey in the hallway were startled, and Roan was also startled by the two people squatting at the door:


    ��What are you doing?��


    "Forehead��"


    Winslow looked embarrassed and turned to look at Lacey. Lacey twitched the corner of her mouth and replied bravely:


    ��We��re just here to see if you need any help.��


    ??Luo An rolled his eyes and guessed that the two were worried about him doing something that violated the rules, so he moved aside to show the two men the interrogation room. Except for his blue face, there was no other abnormality in the jacket man Harris, and he said:


    ��Don��t worry, I didn��t do anything to him, I just chatted with him.��


    ? Winslow and Lacey looked at each other, both breathed a sigh of relief, and the stones in their hearts were relieved.


    The two have the same ideas in some aspects. The most important person in the special investigation team is Luo An. Luo An can''t have anything happen to anyone. They really don''t want to see Luo An have problems because of the rules.


    ?? After closing the interrogation room door, Luo An patted the two of them on the shoulders, turned and walked towards the office area, and asked loudly as he walked:


    ��Mona and Michelle, did you find anything?��


    "No."


    In the office area, Mona frowned, slowly shook her head, and said:


    ��Michelle and I checked out the area Lacey mentioned.


    ?Unfortunately, the surveillance on the short stretch of road that Lacey drove through happened to be in the maintenance stage, and we found nothing. "


    ��I also checked the license plate that Lacey mentioned.��


    ??Michelle then added:


    ��The results showed that it was a fake. The car with the real number is in New York. The owners are an old couple in their sixties. They and the car have not been touched at home today.��


    ��It seems that the other party is well prepared today.��


    Chenelle frowned slightly, walked into the office area from the side, then shook her phone at Luo An and said:


    ��The people sent by Chief Trick will be here soon.��


    ��Good.��


    ?Luo An nodded slightly, then clapped his hands to attract everyone''s attention, and said loudly:


    ��Everyone, as I said before, I have contacted Chief Trick Kennedy and asked him to transfer the follow-up work of this case to other departments. The subsequent matters have nothing to do with us.


    ?However, there are a lot of people and things involved behind the trial process. As the leading investigators of the case, we may be targeted by some people.


    So in the next period of time, everyone should not be too relaxed and keep in touch at all times. If you feel or find something is wrong, remember to contact others for help immediately. Do you understand? "


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    ?All the agents responded in unison, and Luo An nodded with satisfaction.


    Mona pointed to the computer and asked: "As for the guy who is following Lacey, shall we continue to investigate?"


    "Need not."


    ?Luo An looked back at the interrogation room and smiled:


    ��I��ll take care of the rest.��


    To investigate and handle the [Trial Progress Church Case], everyone in the special investigation team has been traveling everywhere and working for several days in a row. There is very little rest time and everyone is very tired.


    After the people sent by Trick Kennedy took away the jacket man Harris, Luo An made a few simple arrangements and gave everyone a break, allowing them to return to their residences and have a good rest.


    ??Luo An himself drove Mona back to the villa, drank a bottle of [Stamina Potion] to cheer up, and drove to New York.


    ����


    ? Murarry Roberts, just 70 years old this year, is a well-known Jewish professor at the George Washington University School of Business. He has trained many well-known figures in society and is respected by everyone.


    ��Good afternoon, Professor Roberts.��


    ��Hello, Professor Roberts.��


    ����


    ?At six-thirty in the afternoon, Mulally Roberts walked out of the luxurious teachers�� office building wearing his usual suit.


    The students he met on the road greeted him with a smile and respect. Professor Murali Roberts also smiled and nodded to these students as he walked.


    ? Slowly walking into the parking lot inside the campus, Murali Roberts opened the car door and got into a car that looked a little old and had a style that was from the last century.


    ?The car is Mustang-boss-429, which was only produced in 1969 and 1970. Each one is very rare.


    ?Putting her handbag in the passenger seat, Murarry Roberts tightened her seat belt, pondered for a few seconds, took out her cell phone, found a phone number and dialed it.


    ??The call was quickly answered, and Mullary-Roberts said:


    ��Good afternoon, old man.��


    ��Not good at all, Roberts.��


    An equally old voice sounded on the phone, saying in a rather dissatisfied tone:


    ��I told you before that Roan Greenwood is extraordinary and a very good talent.


    This kind of talent is more suitable to win over and let him work for us, rather than deliberately targeting him! "


    The voice on the phone sounded like a scolding, and Murarry Roberts was not angry and said with a slight smile:


    ��What you said makes sense, that��s why I called you, isn��t it?��


    The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment and asked:


    "What''s the meaning?"


    ��Oldgame, goodcopbadcop. (Oldgame, good cops and bad cops)��


    Mullary-Roberts smiled lightly and said:


    ��I��ve done the bad cop role, and the little guy from the Kennedy family took the game prize from me today.


    Next, it��s your turn to be a good police officer. "


    ��Roberts, have you made your brain stupid by teaching every day?��


    Everyone on the other end of the phone laughed angrily and said coldly:


    "You just sent someone here to attack Roan Greenwood not long ago, and he found out. Do you think he will join us?"


    ��It is precisely because I sent people to attack him that he joined us.��


    ?Mullary-Roberts calmly explained:


    ��The fact that the little guys from the Kennedy family came to negotiate with me means that they don��t plan to get too entangled in this matter and are ready to focus more on future matters.


    ?Croan Greenwood is a young man. The characteristic of young people is that they are easily swayed by emotions. It is impossible for him to swallow this breath. Even if he swallows it forcefully, he will still have a grudge against Maximilian and the others.


    The people I sent showed our ubiquitous strength to Roan Greenwood from the side. You "good policemen" came forward to punish me, the "bad policeman", and then promised Roan Greenwood some benefits. , what choice do you think he will make? "


    After a long silence, the other end of the phone said:


    ��Roan Greenwood is a smart guy.��


    ?Mularry Roberts chuckled:


    ��Smart people will think more and be greedy.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 814： Not overnight

    Chapter 814 Not overnight


    ��Smart people will think more and be greedy.��


    Mully Roberts finished speaking, and the elderly voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally asked:


    ��What do you suggest as a good police officer?��


    ��It��s very simple, I just said it.��


    ?Murray Roberts chuckled, with a confident expression on his face, and said:


    "First punish me, the "bad policeman", and then give Roan Greenwood some benefits.


    He is less than thirty years old this year. He is a young, energetic man who likes nothing more than money, women, and power.


    We can satisfy him with all these, can��t we? It doesn''t matter no matter how much he wants, he will get it back in the future. "


    The other end of the phone said calmly:


    ��Sure enough, you are still doing the same thing.��


    ��The same old thing is the same old thing because it works.��


    ?Murray Roberts still smiles:


    "What do you think?"


    "Okay, I''ll ask someone to handle the rest."


    ??The other end of the phone replied casually and hung up the phone. Murali Roberts didn''t get angry even when he heard the busy signal on his phone. He chuckled, put the phone in his pocket, started the car and started driving towards the outside of the campus.


    The villa where Murary Roberts lives is in an area not too far from George Washington University.


    ? His wife died of cancer for more than ten years, but Murarry Roberts did not continue to marry her. Outsiders praised him as a devoted man who loved his late wife very much.


    ?However, Murarry Roberts himself knows that compared to remarrying a woman in her thirties or forties, he is already seventy years old and still lacks money. He prefers to interact with young people.


    ?For example, a twenty-year-old girl, an eighteen-year-old girl is fine, or even younger than eighteen years old...Mulali Roberts is a standard wealthy Jew.


    ?Mullary Roberts has a very regular life schedule. After he drives home, he usually drinks a glass of red wine and rests for a while, then takes a shower, changes clothes, and goes to a private club at eight o''clock to enjoy himself.


    Early the next morning, he went home, washed up, put on his glasses, resumed his status as a respected professor, and went to school to teach and educate people, speak out for the Jews, and cultivate students to be close to the Jews.


    Considering that he is getting older and his physical fitness is not as good as before, Murali Roberts will only have this kind of life trajectory two or three times a week.


    ?? Today I happened to be in a good mood and had time. Murali Roberts drove the car into the garage, walked into the villa and went straight to the wine cellar, ready to find a bottle of red wine to taste.


    ? As soon as he walked into the villa, Murali Roberts'' expression suddenly changed, because he found that there was an opened bottle of red wine placed in the living room, and there was a goblet with some red wine poured next to it.


    With his eyebrows pounding, Murarry Roberts stepped back and raised his right hand to insert it into his pocket to retrieve his cell phone. At this moment, a sound of laughter rang out in the kitchen:


    ��Don��t get excited, Mr. Roberts, and don��t move your hands, otherwise the gun aimed at you may get angry.��


    ?Murray Roberts paused, and his body froze suddenly. He took a few deep breaths to suppress the fear in his heart, and turned around little by little to look towards the kitchen.


    ??At the door of the kitchen, leaning against a man wearing ordinary sportswear and gloves, pointing a pistol at him, with a bright smile on his face.


    ??The man''s face was familiar to Murarry Roberts. He had seen it many times in some folders. It was the person he had just discussed on the phone, Roan Greenwood.


    ��Good evening, Mr. Professor.��


    ??Luo An walked up to Murarry Roberts in a leisurely manner, stretched out his hand to signal him to sit on the sofa, and said with a smile:


    ��The wine was good, I took a look, it was the last century Lafite red wine from Chateau Margaux.


    As expected of a professor at George Washington University, he indeed has extraordinary taste. "


    ?Sitting on the sofa, Murali-Roberts looked up and looked at the smile on Luo An''s face. He slowly showed a stiff smile, but he was very shocked in his heart. He couldn''t understand how Luo An silently broke through the villa security system.


    ??While feeling unbelievable, Murali Roberts also had a clearer understanding of the strength of Luo An, the team leader. He took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said with a smile:


    ��If Leader Luo An likes it, I can give you some.��


    "That''s no need. I don''t know much about red wine, and I don''t have the habit of storing wine." Luo An smiled and waved his hand. Just as Murarry Roberts was about to continue speaking, the smile on Luo An''s face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were fixed. The other party asked in a deep voice:


    ��Let��s get straight to the point, Professor Roberts, besides that unfortunate guy Harris, who else have you sent to prepare to attack me?��


    Murali Roberts didn''t expect that Luo An''s face would change so quickly. One second he was smiling brightly, and the next second he was as cold as ice. He was sweating coldly on his back when he looked at the black muzzle of the gun, and he still had a somewhat stiff smile on his face. , tried:


    ��Leader Luo An, put down your pistol first. We have plenty of time. How about we talk slowly?��


    ����


    ?Luo An didn��t say anything, but silently turned on the safety of the pistol.


    A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Murarry Roberts'' forehead. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something, and the stiff smile on his face suddenly softened, and he smiled:


    ��Leader Luo An, there is no need to be so angry, we can talk slowly.


    ?You don��t need to threaten me with a pistol. Within a minute of the gunfire, someone will come here to check the situation, and it won��t do you any good at that time.


    You are still young and have a bright future, so don��t..."


    �O


    Before Mullary Roberts could finish his words, Luo An punched him hard in the face and said expressionlessly:


    ��What��s the digital code for the safe behind the painting in your bedroom?��


    Roberts was so dizzy from the punch that his nose was bleeding. He was just about to curse when he heard Luo An ask:


    ��How many digits are there in the password? Five digits? Six digits? Seven digits?


    What is the first digit, one? two? three? Where��s the second digit����


    In less than five minutes, Luo An got the real number and nodded slightly:


    ��Thirteen digits, starting with 9 and ending with 3. As expected of a university professor, the password is so long.��


    ?At this time, Murali Roberts couldn''t believe it. He looked at Luo An with his mouth open as if he had seen a ghost. He clearly didn''t say a word. How did Luo An get the real password? Is there really a way to read minds in the world?


    ?Seeing the coldness in Luo An''s eyes becoming more intense, Murali Roberts'' face changed drastically as he was dominated by a sense of panic, and he quickly spoke out:


    ��Leader Luo An, you can��t kill me. I can give you all my money, or you can pretend that today��s incident never happened. From now on, you..."


    ??Murray Roberts was halfway through speaking, Luo An silently put away his pistol. Upon seeing this, Roberts suddenly smiled on his face, and at the same time made a plan in his heart. After today''s incident, the other party must be killed!


    Click!


    ?The next second, a crisp sound rang in his ears, and Roberts'' consciousness completely fell into darkness.


    ?Five minutes later, a thick plume of smoke shot out from inside the villa, and the orange-red firelight that shot straight into the sky instantly attracted the attention of everyone around the villa.


    ?A backpacker wearing a hat shouted to put out the fire. The people who reacted quickly contacted the fire brigade and opened fire hydrants on both sides of the road to put out the fire.


    A few hours later, at 10:30 pm, the case report that Murarry Roberts had her neck broken and that the villa was set on fire appeared on some people''s desks.


    ?These people were not in the mood to look at Mullary Roberts�� autopsy report, but looked at the traces found by the FBI Trace Examination Unit at the crime scene:


    They found an inverted cross that was only half burned by the fire and was completely black, and a safe with the door open to the outside.


    There are a few gold bars left in the safe, and a lot of U.S. dollars, bonds, etc. were burned by the fire, but there are still some left. There are also many half-burned folders, but the documents inside the folders are empty.


    ??Many people who saw the case report cursed in a low voice. The inverted cross indicated that the murderer either came from the Judgment Process Church; or it was a deception left by the murderer, and the other party wanted to draw attention to the church.


    Coupled with the situation of the safe, many people are convinced that the murderer''s real goal is to recover the documents, and Roberts has been silenced.


    ??When it comes to the trial process of the church, there are too many things and people involved behind the scenes. Any camp may take action, and there is no evidence at the scene.


    ?Some people thought more and were suspicious of the inverted cross left at the scene. The suspected mastermind behind the incident told them not to continue digging and investigating. After all, everyone is not clean, and it would not be good for anyone to find out anything.


    ?In addition, if the other party takes away those documents, it is impossible to treasure them. Whether the other party is preparing to use them for subsequent transactions or disclose them to the media, they have the ability to detect and intercept them in advance.


    ?After thinking about this, several camps that were sure that it was not their own hands chose to stand still and refused to take over the case, and then turned their attention to the Jewish camp.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 815： Just more equal

    Chapter 815 Just More Equality


    ??The Jewish camp was also shocked by the death of Murali Roberts. After these people reacted, they immediately decided...


    The investigation is not urgent, internal matters should be dealt with first.


    ??Although Mullally Roberts has passed away, his position within the camp still exists. The position cannot be left empty for a long time, and the overt and covert struggles begin.


    Regarding the investigation, they have the same idea as those from the opposite camp. The other side takes the documents in the safe and cannot keep them forever. The documents in the safe will definitely be taken out and traded later.


    ?As long as the other party chooses to make a deal, with the Jewish camp��s pervasive ability, it can definitely be discovered immediately, and then decide whether to intervene and intercept based on the situation.


    Even if the other party does not belong to a certain camp, but is just an ordinary civilian and intends to disclose it to the media, the Jewish camp will not panic. More than 70% of the mouthpieces in the entire federation are in their hands, and they are sure to intercept the opponent one step ahead.


    Compared with these, how to distribute and inherit the position and political legacy left by Mulally Roberts is more important to them.


    Jews are indeed very equal, but some are more equal.


    ??For example, that country is full of Jews, and ordinary people must perform military service and go to the battlefield to be Teletubbies. However, the Haredi people are not born to perform military service. They only need to study scriptures, eat, drink, have fun, and create the next generation.


    Because their fathers have worked hard. If they work harder, their fathers�� efforts will not be in vain.


    ?Each camp has its own agenda. No one took over the burning case of the Roberts Villa in a short period of time, and it was finally left to the Washington, D.C., police department, which used to be a transparent person.


    As the police department at the center of federal politics, its business capabilities may be average, but its ability to stand in line is absolutely top-notch.


    Seeing that none of the major departments took over the case, the SAR police department waved their hands and made a decisive promise to the media that they would never give up. They would investigate the truth and safeguard the freedom, democracy and noble laws of the federation!


    ?However, before this, the police department''s case handling funds have been shrinking, forcing police resources to decline year by year. The investigation of this case may take a long time. I hope everyone can understand that it would be better if some financial help can be provided...


    ��These police officers are enough.��


    The next day, in the living room of a certain villa in Washington, D.C., watching the Chief of the DC Police talking on TV, Mona curled up on the sofa with a doll in her arms, her head covered with black lines, and said wordlessly:


    ��The low crime detection rate is due to a lack of funds, which leads to a lack of equipment; the patrol police��s violent treatment of others is due to a lack of funds, which leads to the inability to pay wages and bad tempers... The lack of funds is really an all-purpose reason.��


    "Yeah yeah."


    Beside them, Lacey, Chenelle and Michelle were also crowded on the sofa, eating snacks and watching TV while holding their dolls.


    ??After Mona finished speaking, Lacey put down the snack bag and licked her fingers, then complained with an annoyed look on her face:


    ��I have gone shopping with people several times, and I have seen the SAR police use their hands on some female tourists who came to the SAR on suspicion that they were carrying illegal items.


    ?One time a guy tried to stop me. If I hadn''t pulled out my FBI gold badge, that guy would have dared to attack me that day. "


    ��The quality of the police in some special districts is indeed not high.��


    Michelle raised her glasses on the bridge of her nose and analyzed seriously:


    ��However, it is true that the funding of the SAR police has been declining year by year. Compared with the last century, their funding has been reduced by nearly one-fifth in recent years.


    ?And this trend shows no signs of stopping, and is even getting worse. I feel that in a few years, the police will drastically reduce their manpower and even reduce their wages. "


    Lacey and Mona looked slightly moved. Chenelle put down her snacks and frowned and asked:


    ��What about our FBI? Will we also reduce funding?��


    Among the four women on the sofa, Michelle reads books and watches the news, and knows the most about things. Mona and the others believe in Michelle''s analysis.


    "possible."


    Michelle nodded, then changed the topic and said with a smile: "But we don''t have to worry. With Team Leader Luo An here, it doesn''t matter if the salary of our special investigation team is less."


    "really!"


    ??The worry on Chenelle''s face disappeared instantly and she began to laugh. Lacey also smiled, put her arm around Mona''s shoulders, and asked:


    "Where''s Luo An, why didn''t you see him today? You had a conflict with him and kicked him out of the villa?"


    ��Take your hand away, there��s still snack residue on it!��


    ??Mona rolled her eyes at Lacey, shook her body to squeeze Lacey away, and replied casually:


    ��Luo An went to Wall Street in New York, where he had some investments. He happened to have nothing to do these days, so he went there to check out the situation.��


    ��Roan has investments on Wall Street?��


    ??Lacie''s eyes lit up, she quickly found a tissue and wiped her hands clean, hugged Mona''s arm tightly, and said excitedly:


    ��What stocks did he invest in? Did you invest with him? Can you show me one?��


    Before following Luo An and Mona to the Los Angeles Special Investigation Unit, Lacey had sought investment experience from Luo An, bought some stocks, and made a lot of money.


    Since then, Lacey believed in Luo An''s vision. Luo An bought stocks of some Internet companies such as Apple and Amazon. Although Lacey believed more in industry and didn''t understand the Internet very well, she still gritted her teeth and followed up, buying two-thirds of her own shares. All the funds were invested.


    It didn''t take long for Lacey to see that the stocks she bought continued to rise, and she made a lot of money in just two years. From then on, Lacey believed in Luo An even more. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Luo An dared to recommend, Lacey would Dare to buy!


    ?Chenelle and Michelle, who were next to them, both turned their heads when they heard their conversation, and looked at Mona with interest.


    After they joined Luo An��s team, they also bought some stocks with Lacey��s real evidence.


    ??Joined the game a little late, the two of them didn''t make as much as Lacey, but they were still quite a lot. From then on, they admired Luo An even more.


    Facing the shining eyes of the three women, Mona twitched the corner of her mouth. Even though she knew that the three of them were not interested in Luo An''s body, but only in Luo An''s eyes, they still had the unpleasant feeling of being their own toy and being liked by others.


    ?Shaking her head and throwing away the messy thoughts in her mind, Mona spread her hands and explained:


    ��Sorry, I really don��t know much about Luo An��s investment in Wall Street. I only know that the qualifications for entry are very high.��


    ��That��s better forget it.��


    After hearing Mona''s explanation, Lacey immediately gave up the idea. Michelle and Chenelle also shook their heads and stopped asking. The girls chatted for a few words. When the sun was skewed and the temperature outside dropped, they changed their clothes and started going out together. Shopping, eating and drinking.


    ?At the same time, deep in a cafe on a street not far from Wall Street in New York, Luo An was sitting on a chair calmly and calmly sipping cappuccino.


    ??The man sitting opposite him was wearing a suit but had dark circles under his eyes. He had already drank three cups of coffee. It was Michael Bray, the manager who helped Luo An handle CDS financial products.


    ��Those **** guys!��


    ��What a bunch of cousins!��


    ��Shit! I don��t know what those people are thinking!��


    Michael Bray kept drinking coffee and saying greetings, and his hands were shaking with anger.


    ?Time passed by and Michael Bray finally calmed down. Roan waved to the waiter to take away the cup, looked at Michael Bray and smiled:


    ��Have you finished venting?��


    ?Michael Bray took a long breath, looked at Luo An with a little surprise, and asked hoarsely:


    ��Luo An, aren��t you angry? Those people are lying, and they are using lies to control federal housing prices!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 816： michael bray asks for help

    Chapter 816 Michael Brey asks for help


    Three o''clock in the afternoon, New York, not far from Wall Street, in a coffee shop on the corner of a certain street.


    Deep in the store, Luo An and Michael Bray sat opposite each other, with no one else around them.


    ��Those **** raised by cousins...��


    Unlike Roan who was calm and took his cappuccino to taste it slowly, Michael Bray had a very ugly expression on his face. He cursed under his breath for a moment and asked:


    ��Luo An, you have expected this to happen, right?��


    ? Michael Bray believes in numbers. Many things in this world cannot be judged as correct or not, but numbers can. If the calculation result of numbers is right, it is right, if it is wrong, it is wrong, and if it is not, it is not possible.


    ? Michael Bray therefore calculated that federal housing prices will inevitably begin to decline in 2007 based on federal mortgage default rates, housing loan and other data.


    In 2005, Michael Bray approached a Wall Street investment bank and creatively proposed the creation of CDS, a financial product based on legal gambling on federal housing prices.


    ??In the next two years, Michael Brey has been ridiculed as a fool*, but he doesn''t care, he knows that the final winner must be himself.


    ? It is now mid-February 2007. As he expected, the federal mortgage default rate is gradually rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the price of mortgage bonds has not declined.


    In other words, Michael Bray''s judgment is correct, and federal house prices have not fallen.


    There was no problem with the data, and the facts were in front of him. Michael Brey could not put aside the facts. He carefully analyzed this "free market" that did not develop according to normal logic, and finally came to the conclusion that he least wanted to see it. Conclusion reached:


    ??The federal mortgage market is manipulated, housing prices are controlled, and various departments of the entire federal financial system are working together to defraud retail investors, and they are even defrauding each other.


    ��This is Wall Street, Michael.��


    ?Looking at the dark circles on Michael Bray��s face, Luo An smiled and said:


    ��The Federation is a capitalist country. Players have their own ways of playing, and the bankers naturally have their own routines.��


    ��Mother-fu-ker! Sonof than eat!��


    Michael Bray understood the meaning of Luo An''s words. He inserted his fingers into his hair and cursed in a low voice again with an angry face.


    After a long silence, Michael Bray slowly raised his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice:


    ��Luo An, I need your help.��


    "you say."


    ��I need some funds.��


    The various names in CDS, a financial product, are very lofty and fancy, and many people feel that they cannot understand them at all.


    But in fact, the financial product itself can be simply understood as two strangers betting on Lao Wang''s car. A bets that the car will have an accident, and B bets that the car will not have an accident.


    ?Among them, A, who bets that there will be a car accident, will give B a sum of money every month. If Lao Wang''s car never gets into an accident, A will have to keep paying.


    ?But as long as Lao Wang''s car has an accident, B, who bets that there will be no accident, will have to pay A a large sum of money, and A wins the bet.


    Lao Wang��s car is the federal housing price, A is Michael Bray, and B is the investment banks.


    ? Michael Bray said that in his plan, federal house prices will fall by February 2007 at the latest, so he has only prepared so much monthly premiums to be paid to investment banks.


    ?Now that federal housing prices have been as stable as a mountain, March is only half a month away. Next month��s premium still requires a large amount of funds, but Michael Bray can no longer afford it.


    Facing Michael Bray, who had red eyes and a pleading look on his face, Luo An chuckled, showed a sunny smile, and said:


    ��We are friends, Michael, and friends should help each other, right?


    How much money are you short of? Tell me a number. "


    ?Michael Bray''s eyes lit up instantly, he clenched his fists hard, and almost jumped out of his chair in excitement.


    Michael Bray has normal sexual orientation and does not like men, but now he feels that Luo An is definitely the most handsome man he has ever seen!


    Especially the last sentence "say a number", Mother-fu-ker, Michael Bray finally understands what those women feel like.


    ??Taking a few deep breaths and trying to suppress the excitement in his heart, Michael Bray said with a serious face:


    "It needs about 23 million U.S. dollars." ? ? ? Michael Bry has more than three billion U.S. dollars in his hands, but he has forcibly tied the money from investors. Those investors also don''t understand and don''t agree with Michael Bry''s bearishness. Federal House Price Behavior.


    For two years, those people have been clamoring to divest from Michael Burry''s company, putting Michael Burry under a lot of pressure.


    ?Among the people Michael Bray knows, only Roan agrees with him, and he is also bearish on federal housing prices, which made Michael Bray once have the idea that he and Roan are the only smart people in the world.


    ��$23 million����


    Roan frowned slightly when he heard this number. Michael Bray''s heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene, and he quickly asked:


    ��Is the number too big? Otherwise...��


    ��No.��


    ?Luo An shook his head and asked:


    ��This number you are talking about is the premium for one month in March?��


    Michael Bray was stunned for a moment, then nodded:


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An shook his head slightly, picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said:


    ��This money is not enough, I can provide you with 80 million US dollars first, and I will contact you if you need it later.��


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Michael Bree was filled with excitement, shocked and excited. Soon he also realized the problem in Luo An��s words, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, do you think those people will still control federal housing prices for a long time?��


    "I am not sure."


    ??Luo An put down the coffee cup, took a deep look at Michael Bray, and said softly:


    ��But I know one thing, the banker will not let himself lose.��


    Michael Bray understands numbers and data, Roan does not understand these, but he understands the rules of the game in the Federation.


    ��This group of **** should be thrown into the cesspool����


    Understanding the meaning behind Luo An''s words, Michael Bray cursed again with an ugly face. Luo An smiled and didn''t care much. He found his mobile phone and called the bank, and transferred $80 million to Michael Bray. in the account provided.


    After chatting for a while, Michael Bray checked out and left with an excited look on his face. Luo An was not in a hurry to leave, he still had to wait for someone here.


    ?Time passed by, and more than half an hour later, a white man, also wearing a suit and with a tired face, opened the door and walked into the coffee shop.


    When the visitor saw Luo An, he walked straight to the table where he was sitting, sat down on the chair, waved to the waiter and ordered three cups of coffee.


    ��Good afternoon, sir.��


    Roan looked at Trick Kennedy, who also had thick dark circles under his eyes like Michael Brey, and asked in surprise:


    ��What��s wrong with you? Is the trial process church��s case so difficult to deal with?��


    ?Trick Kennedy drank the coffee in one gulp, wiped his mouth and smiled bitterly:


    ��It��s not the judgment process church, it��s����


    Halfway through speaking, Trick Kennedy suddenly stopped, waved his hand and changed the topic and asked:


    ��Luo An, why did you come to Wall Street?��


    ��I have some investments on Wall Street, so I will come here to take a look when I have time.��


    Luo An replied casually:


    ��The U.S. dollar is depreciating faster and faster, and if you don��t invest, you will only lose more and more money.��


    ?Trick-Kennedy nodded in agreement, chatted for a while, then brought the topic to the point, and said:


    ��I come to you this time with two pieces of good news.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 817： [Balloon delivery case]

    Chapter 817 [Balloon Delivery Case]


    ��Two pieces of good news?��


    Luo An was a little surprised and asked:


    ��Is it related to the case of the Judgment Process Church?��


    "certainly."


    ?Trick Kennedy smiled and said:


    ��Remember before I took over this case, I told you that the deputy director started calculating the case-handling expenses of each department this year?��


    ?Luo An��s eyes lit up and he nodded, asking:


    ��The results are already out?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Trick Kennedy took out a document from the briefcase he was carrying, handed it to Luo An with a smile, and said:


    ��The activity funds of your case handling department this year have increased by one-tenth compared with last year.��


    ?One-tenth may sound a bit small, but there are more than a dozen departments in the FBI''s Washington headquarters, and one-tenth is by no means a small number.


    And from this increase in funds, the special investigation team led by Luo An received the most.


    Although the other case investigation teams received less, they were very grateful to Luo An. After all, without Luo An''s 100% case detection rate, they would not have been able to get the increased funds. You must know that the last time the case handling department increased activity funds was more than ten years ago. things before.


    Looking at the large number added in the folder, Luo An raised the corner of his mouth and then asked:


    ��Sir, what��s the second good news?��


    ��The second thing is related to the judgment process of the church.��


    ?Trick Kennedy paused slightly at this point and said:


    ��Mr. Clement must have told you that there are some problems behind this case. It was because I accidentally let down my guard and didn��t notice that I let you take over the case.


    That day in Georgetown, I went to deal with the matter. Not only did I solve the trouble, but I also got some compensation for you, Luo An. "


    ?The problem that Trick Kennedy mentioned is exactly what Professor Murally Roberts is doing behind the scenes, and the dark circles around his eyes are also related to this.


    Because Trick Kennedy was the last person who met Murali Roberts alone and had negotiation experience with him before the villa was burned.


    ?Coupled with his status as a member of the Kennedy family and his belonging to a certain camp, he was immediately suspected by many people of being the mastermind behind the burning of the Murali-Roberts villa.


    For a while, Trick Kennedy''s cell phone kept ringing, causing him to barely sleep until now.


    As for the identity of the murderer who set the villa on fire, Trick Kennedy seriously doubted that the Jewish camp acted on his own initiative. This kind of thing has not never happened before, and it has even happened many times.


    ?Shaking his head and temporarily putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Trick Kennedy took out a piece of paper with a series of numbers written on it from his pocket and handed it to Luo An, whispering:


    "Here are the three million dollars that I helped you get from the other party. I guarantee you that what happened to the church during the trial process will never happen again."


    Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, he reached out to take the note and looked at it. After a few seconds of silence, he raised his head and showed a smile:


    ��OK, thank you, sir.��


    ?Seeing the smile on Luo An''s face, Trick Kennedy breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, and also laughed.


    The two changed the topic to other aspects and talked about their investment experience on Wall Street for a while. Trick Kennedy left first, followed by Luo An who walked out of the cafe, got into his car, started the car and drove towards Washington, DC. .


    Over the next half month or so, considering the complexity of things behind the church during the trial process, Mona, Lacey, Chenelle and Michelle always got together to go shopping and eat and drink every day just in case.


    Winslow stayed at home, spending time with his wife and son, resting peacefully every day, and enjoying the hard-earned warm time.


    ??Luo An decisively rejected the four bad women Mona and Lacey. On the surface, he invited him to go shopping together, but in fact, he wanted him to be responsible for carrying the bag. He does boxing every day to exercise, watches TV during his breaks, takes time to check stock prices and federal real estate information on the computer, and goes to various delicious restaurants with his four daughters to taste delicious food in the evening. His life is quite relaxed and happy.


    More than half a month passed quickly. In late March, the special investigation team received another case, a murder that occurred in a hidden woods in a corner of a park in Washington, DC.


    The victims were two young white men, a man and a woman. The man had wounds on his forehead and back of his head from being struck by a stick. The cause of death was that his throat was cut with a dagger-like weapon.


    ??The body of the young white female victim was lying on her back, her abdomen had been cut open, and blood was everywhere. The scene was horrific.


    The cause of death was the same as that of the man. The trachea at the throat was cut, and the blood was poured back into the body and he was suffocated to death.


    After taking over the case, Luo An immediately led a special investigation team to investigate. In less than two weeks, he got clues from a friend of the male victim before his death, and then found and caught the murderer.


    The case behind the scenes is actually not complicated. The male and female victims were lovers before their death, and the boy owed a lot of loan sharks. In desperation, he gritted his teeth and chose to make quick money by smuggling reading materials.


    Girls are brainwashed by boys in the name of love and choose to join in.


    The two of them did make a lot of money at the beginning. After successfully repaying the loan shark, the boy decided to continue working because the money in this business came too fast and he could no longer accept normal part-time work to earn wages. It was too slow to make money.


    ?The girl initially made a fuss and sternly refused, but soon she couldn''t stand the ordinary working life, so she found the boy and decided to do it one last time, agreeing to stop completely after this time.


    The final result was no surprise. The last time turned into one more time, and one more time turned into just this one. Two turned into three, and three turned into four. The two of them were completely caught up in it.


    Frequently walking by the river, the water must be dropped. The two smuggled into the federal again. The accidents in the girl''s body broke down.


    The girl who didn��t want to die begged the boy to take her to the hospital. The two of them had not gone far before the book seller chased after them. After killing the two, the book seller cut open the girl��s abdomen and took away the balloons with blood...


    "damn it."


    ??In the office area of ??the special investigation team, Chenier walked out of the interrogation room with an ugly face and threw the interrogation records onto her desk.


    Mona frowned slightly when she saw this scene and asked:


    ��Why, isn��t that book seller not cooperating?��


    ��No, he is cooperative, or he is too cooperative.��


    Behind Chenelle, Lacey walked out of the interrogation room, her face also looked very ugly, and she replied:


    ��This guy took everything on himself. He would rather go to jail and have his **** kicked than identify the leader of the reading organization behind him.��


    ??The murderer of the young lovers was indeed this book seller. The problem was that he was just a little guy who followed orders, and the boss hiding behind him was the culprit.


    ��It��s okay, don��t worry.��


    ??Just as the women frowned and didn''t know what to do, Luo An opened the door and walked in, followed by a white man who looked to be in his forties and had a big beard.


    ?Luo An patted the bearded man on the shoulder and introduced with a smile:


    ��This is Deputy Team Leader Paul from Investigation Team No. 5 upstairs. He has a way to convince the guy in the interrogation room.��


    Deputy Team Leader Paul grinned, showing his white teeth, and said with a smile:


    ��Don��t worry, everyone, just leave this guy to me.��


    With that said, Deputy Team Leader Paul nodded towards Luo An and walked into the interrogation room under the leadership of Michelle.


    ??The door to the interrogation room was closed, Mona approached Luo An and asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, this deputy team leader Paul, it seems I haven��t seen him in this building before?��

    Chapter 818 The Famous Luo An


    At 10:30 am, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    ��Luo An, it seems you haven��t seen this deputy team leader Paul in this building before?��


    ?Seeing Mona looking at him with a puzzled look on her face, and Lacey, Chenelle and Winslow also looking puzzled, Roan smiled and replied:


    ��Deputy leader Paul has been working in gangs and bookstores. Most of the time he wears casual clothes and hangs out with people from the underground world. He rarely comes to work in this building.��


    In many federal law enforcement agencies, there is a group of people: they are violent, drunk, and foul-mouthed. They are more gangsters than gangs and more criminals than criminals, but they work for the federal government, so they are "good people."


    ? ?This is the content of deputy team leader Paul''s work. He walks between the black and white world. Most of the time, it doesn''t matter to him what method he uses, as long as he can complete the task.


    ? Winslow, Mona and Chenelle frowned immediately after hearing Luo An��s introduction.


    ?They are not discriminating against Deputy Team Leader Paul. After all, this kind of work that walks between black and white is dangerous and precarious.


    ?Several people are a little dissatisfied with the FBI''s approach to setting up this kind of work content, because it is entirely based on the lives of people like Deputy Team Leader Paul to perform tasks.


    Lacie nodded calmly, crossed her arms across her chest, and said:


    ��I had contact with these agents when I was in the intelligence service.


    At that time, my superior also invited me, saying that I had excellent abilities and hoped to join them. "


    ?Chenelle turned her head to look at Lacey in disbelief, then breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pat Lacey on the shoulder:


    ��Fortunately you didn��t agree.��


    "I did not agree, and I kicked the old guy in the lower body."


    Lacie chuckled, spread her hands and said:


    ��Then I was transferred to the No. 5 Investigation Team for ��confronting the superior��. Later I met Luo An and Mona, and successfully reached the pinnacle of my life in solving crimes and making money.��


    ����


    ?A few people looked at Lacey speechlessly. Winslow''s head was full of black lines and he complained:


    "So, you should also thank the ill-intentioned officer."


    Lacie raised her feet with interest and said with a smile:


    "Will have the opportunity next time."


    ??Mona waved her hand to interrupt Lacey, turned to Roan and whispered:


    "Deputy leader Paul, are you sure he won''t... uh, violate the rules too much?"


    After Luo An��s introduction just now, Mona is now a little worried about whether the interrogation room door will be filled with bright red when the door opens.


    Luo An smiled calmly:


    ��No, Deputy Team Leader Paul has a sense of proportion.��


    A few days ago, the news that the case handling department��s activity funds for this year increased by one-tenth has spread throughout the FBI��s Washington headquarters.


    After asking each other, almost everyone knew the decisive role played by the team leader named Roan Greenwood behind this incident.


    ?Almost overnight, all the junior detectives in the case handling department and their team leaders knew the name Roan Greenwood and his specific face.


    As soon as Luo An went to work the next day, no less than ten agents greeted Luo An with smiles on their faces in the short few steps from the door to the elevator, and several agents claimed that they accidentally bought too much for breakfast. Yes, I gave several copies to Luo An for free.


    For a long time after that, when he left the office area to go to the bathroom during the day, Luo An was greeted with smiles by the agents he met along the corridor.


    ??If it weren''t for the inconvenience of saying hello in the bathroom, Luo An felt that when he resolved his internal conflicts, there might be someone to chat with him.


    During the handling of the balloon case, when the special investigation team encountered difficulties, many detectives or team leaders from other investigation teams learned that Luo An had encountered difficulties, and they took the initiative to come to chat and bring some clues.


    ?Some of these clues are useful, some are not, but they do speed up the special investigation team''s handling of the case.


    Luo An expressed his gratitude for this and went out to drink and chat with these team leaders after get off work. While mingling with everyone, he also got to know deputy team leader Paul through other team leaders.


    ?Deputy team leader Paul and others, who have been out in the field, are also the beneficiaries of the increase in case handling funds. They reciprocated the favor. He was happy to help Luo An solve some minor problems and took the initiative to express his willingness to chat with the book seller. After listening to Luo An��s explanation, Winslow, Chenelle and Mona looked at each other in confusion, and had no choice but to stretch out their hands and give Luan a thumbs up.


    Lacey rolled her eyes, grabbed Mona''s arm and pulled her aside, whispering mysteriously:


    ��I heard in the past few days that many female detectives are discussing Luo An behind his back. I heard that he is not married yet, and they are very excited..."


    After listening to the gossip that Lacey got, Mona asked with a calm expression on her face:


    ��Are those women older than me?��


    Lacey was stunned for a moment, glanced down, and said with a strange expression:


    ��Most of them don��t have it, but there are a few who are gifted.��


    ??Mona then asked:


    ��Do these people have legs as long as mine?��


    Lacie thought about it carefully and shook her head.


    ??Mona chuckled, patted Lacey on the shoulder with disdain, and calmly sat back at her work station.


    Lacie: ������


    ??Roan, Chenelle and Winslow ignored Lacey and Mona''s whispers. When the two women walked aside, the door to the interrogation room opened from the inside, and the three of them hurried over after seeing this.


    ��Fortunately, I live up to my destiny.��


    Deputy team leader Paul walked out of the interrogation room, smiled and said:


    "This little guy Yoon has already told the boss behind him, and pointed out the boss''s hiding place, trading habits, trading location, etc. I believe the rest will be very simple for you."


    ��Thank you for your hard work this time, Paul, thank you so much.��


    ??Luo An laughed, reached out and hugged Deputy Team Leader Paul. The two exchanged a few words. Luo An then led him to the side and said in a low voice:


    ��I heard, Paul, your wife is pregnant?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Paul nodded and replied with a happy face:


    ��We went to the hospital for a check-up and it��s a daughter.��


    "congratulations."


    ?Luo An smiled and patted Paul on the shoulder, then whispered:


    ��Do you still plan to do this field work after your daughter is born?��


    Deputy team leader Paul is forty years old this year. Due to work issues, he and his wife finally had a daughter. It is too dangerous for him and his family to continue to wander between black and white.


    Deputy team leader Paul understood the subtext of Luo An��s words, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and asked in a low voice:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, can you help me transfer from the field?��


    "No."


    ??Luo An shook his head, and the excitement in Deputy Team Leader Paul''s eyes suddenly disappeared. Just as he was about to say something, Luo An added:


    ��But I have a way to help you accumulate merit and get promoted.��


    ?The reason why Paul is still a deputy team leader at the age of 40 is mainly because the person behind him has a low status, and he does not come forward for many of his achievements, and even is robbed by others.


    ?Luo An is not from that department and cannot help Paul transfer his position, but he has the ability to help Paul get the share that should belong to him.


    Some people would not go out of their way to embarrass Paul for the sake of Luo An and his reputation behind him. In addition, Paul''s own qualifications were sufficient, so he could naturally be promoted and leave the field to sit in the office.


    ??Luo An not only gained a good friend from another department afterwards, but also the materials and information obtained by his friend from wandering between black and white over the years can also help Luo An when he handles other cases in the future.


    ?Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and the smile on Luo An''s face became brighter. He patted Paul on the shoulder and chatted with him slowly in a low voice.

 Chapter 819： Company bankruptcy, prelude

    Chapter 819 Company Bankruptcy, Prelude


    ��Goodbye, Paul! Thank you so much for today.��


    ��That��s an exaggeration, Team Leader Luo An, it��s just a small matter. I should be the one to thank you. Let��s go out for a drink together later!��


    ����


    Looking at Roan and Paul standing in the corridor laughing at each other outside the office area, Lacey had a strange look on her face. She moved her chair to Winslow''s side and asked in a low voice:


    ��Have you heard that their relationship is so good?��


    ?Winslow looked at Lacey in surprise:


    "As long as there are no excessive conflicts between men, they can chat together in a few words. Is it okay to go out for a drink together?"


    ??Lacie rolled her eyes at Winslow and was too lazy to talk to him. She snatched away the snacks on Winslow''s table, moved her chair and moved closer to Mona, asking:


    "Mona, you..."


    ��Let��s deal with the matters in this case first.��


    As soon as Lacey started speaking, Mona turned around and grabbed the back of Lacey''s chair, pushed her back to her workstation, and said:


    "If I''m not wrong, now that the book dealer Yoon in the interrogation room has confessed everything, we will be busy again."


    ??Lacie muttered a few words and stopped asking. She put down her gossip and began to seriously deal with the case information at hand.


    Outside the corridor, Paul took the elevator and left shortly after. Luo An turned around and walked back to the office area, opened the door, clapped his hands and said loudly:


    ��Everyone, look at me, look at me, I��m going to announce something.��


    ?Mona, Winslow, Lacey, Chenelle and Michelle all looked up at Roan, who turned around and closed the door to speak.


    Jingle Bell-


    ?The ringtone of his cell phone suddenly rang, making Luo An hesitate. He looked at everyone a little apologetically, picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.


    ��It��s me, Michael.��


    ?Michael Bray''s voice came over the phone. He was extremely anxious, lowering his voice and speaking quickly:


    ��Luo An, do you have time now? If you have time, come to Wall Street quickly, something happened here!��


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:


    ��What kind of thing are you referring to? Is it related to people or money?��


    ��Both!��


    Michael Bray was very agitated and replied:


    ��It��s not convenient to discuss things on the phone. It��s better to come here as soon as you have time.��


    ��OK, I get it.��


    ?Luo An nodded, replied casually and hung up the phone.


    ?After pondering for a moment, Luo An walked straight to the front of the office area and turned on the small TV hanging on the wall under the puzzled looks of Winslow, Mona and others.


    Turning on the TV, Luo An picked up the remote control and kept changing channels. He quickly adjusted to the economic news channel, where the blonde female host was introducing a piece of news:


    ����Three minutes ago, at 10:44 this morning, New Century Financial, the second largest federal subprime mortgage company located on Wall Street, declared official bankruptcy����


    ��What?��


    ��W-T-F?!��


    ��New Century Finance is bankrupt?!��


    ??? Before Luo An could say anything, Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey in the office area stood up from their chairs and exclaimed with shock on their faces.


    ?Michelle, who had always been quite emotionally stable, also had her eyes widened with emotion. She raised her hand and covered her mouth tightly.


    "How can this be?"


    ??Federal New Century Financial Investment Company is very famous throughout the federation because many people can buy villas with zero down payment loans and wait for the villas to appreciate in value through loans obtained from this company.


    ??This company was established in 1995. In just 10 years, it became one of the largest issuers of subprime loans in the federation. Its stock price also reached an all-time high, making it a very dazzling star enterprise in the entire federation.


    ??Although Winslow and Chenier have never bought a house with a loan from New Century Financial Company, they have many friends around them, so they have all heard of the company''s reputation.


    ??The second largest subprime mortgage company in the federal government has declared bankruptcy. This news immediately went to the minds of several people, and they subconsciously suspected that this might be fake news. Compared to Winslow and others who looked shocked, Luo An only narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the news on TV, with almost no change in his expression.


    After a few seconds of silence, he turned off the TV, turned to look at the crowd, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Everyone, have you ever taken a loan from this company?��


    ��No.��


    "No."


    Chenier and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.


    ?Since joining the special investigation team, the economic level of the agents has skyrocketed, and they are hardly short of money.


    Even if they are short of money, they have almost accumulated enough funds by following Luo An to solve a few cases, and they have almost never taken out a loan since then.


    Luo An nodded slightly and then said:


    ��In this case, let��s put aside the news from Wall Street for now and deal with the case at hand first.��


    ��OK.��


    "no problem."


    ?Everyone nodded in unison, suppressed the shock in their hearts, and began to listen carefully to Luo An''s arrangements for the balloon case.


    ��Everyone, this is the record of Deputy Team Leader Paul��s interrogation of Reader Youn just now.��


    ?Luo An opened the folder and said:


    ��Youn said that the boss behind him is named Omarian, and he is generally called ��White Cobra�� on the road.


    Because this guy sells flour and rock sugar, he is also vicious and cunning, he has several bases, and he chooses his accommodation location completely randomly on weekdays.


    Our next goal is to find a way to catch this guy. "


    Winslow thought for a moment and asked:


    "Since Omarian has several bases, shall we find a way to conduct a reconnaissance next? Or we may carry out arrest operations at each base at the same time."


    ��No need, we will wait for the news and be ready for action.��


    ??Luo An waved his hand and said that Deputy Team Leader Paul would find a way to investigate Omarian''s whereabouts and then report it to the special investigation team, who would arrest him.


    Winslow and Chenelle looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. After a few seconds of silence, Lacey asked tentatively:


    ��Deputy leader Paul, are you so helpful?��


    ??Helping Luo An interrogate Yon is indeed a small thing, but helping to investigate Omarian''s whereabouts is definitely a hard job. No matter how good the relationship between deputy team leader Paul and Luo An is, it is impossible for him to do so silently without asking for anything in return.


    ��Deputy team leader Paul and I have already discussed the rest of the matter. You will know when this case is over.��


    Luo An said that it is not convenient to elaborate on some situations now. Everyone should prepare their equipment first and wait for news in the next few days.


    ??Although Winslow and others had doubts, they had always trusted Luo An, so they simply stopped asking too many questions and hurriedly sorted out the case work.


    Omarian is very cautious, and investigating his whereabouts is not a simple matter. In the next few days, the special investigation team quietly waited for news, while Luo An found a time and drove to Wall Street.


    ??In an office in a building on Wall Street, Michael Brey was shouting angrily on his cell phone.


    ??Seeing Luo An walk into the room, he shook his phone with an embarrassed look on his face. Luo An smiled and waved his hand to indicate that he was not in a hurry, and walked aside to make coffee.


    ?Ten minutes later, Michael Bray put down the phone, and Luo An handed him a cup of coffee and said with a smile:


    ��New Century Financial Corporation went bankrupt, federal housing prices began to fall, and it was time for those investment companies to pay CDS.��


    ��You are really a bunch of **** raised by cousins!��


    Michael Bray took the coffee and drank it in one gulp, cursing and saying:


    ��Goldman Sachs told me that there was a system failure and a lot of files were lost;


    Morgan Stanley said that the server suddenly crashed after the incident and it would take time to restart;


    ??The Commonwealth Bank was the most outrageous. They actually told me that they had a power outage! So I can''t pay now! "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 820： short yourself

    Chapter 820: Selling Oneself Short


    Eleven o''clock at noon, a certain building or an office on Wall Street.


    ��Goldman Sachs system failure, Morgan Stanley server crash, Commonwealth Bank outage����


    ? Hearing what Michael Bray described as the reasons given by investment banks for their temporary inability to pay CDS, Luo An couldn''t help but twitch his lips.


    ??It can only be said that Wall Street is worthy of the spirit of contract, and high-end business wars are really simple and unpretentious.


    ��Motherfu-ker����


    Michael Bray picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp. The expression on his face was very ugly. He cursed a few times in a low voice. When he looked up and saw that Luo An looked calm, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked:


    ��Luo An, do you have any good ideas?��


    ��Don��t be anxious, stabilize your condition first, and don��t let negative emotions control your brain.��


    ??Roan picked up the coffee and took a sip. After Michael Bray took a few deep breaths and the expression on his face slowly calmed down, he said:


    ��New Century Financial Corporation went bankrupt, and federal housing prices fell. The people who were most anxious were not us, but the investment companies and banks of Goldman Sachs, because they held a large number of junk financial products.


    Think about it for a moment, if Michael were a management member of Goldman Sachs, what would you do now? "


    Michael Bray��s eyes flashed and he subconsciously replied:


    ��Deceive the downstream, sell out all the junk bonds you still hold, and you must not continue to lose money...��


    Michael was refreshed when he said this. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo An. The two of them said in unison:


    ��Goldman Sachs will short its own position!��


    Investment banks such as Goldman Sachs have only one fundamental purpose, which is to make money.


    As for social stability and the stability of the federal government, they are completely outside their consideration.


    ?At present, federal housing prices are falling, and those who hold a large amount of federal housing system bonds will inevitably be severely affected. The decline in company stock prices is inevitable.


    Since you are sure that your company''s stock price will fall 100%, it is not too difficult to understand why you are shorting yourself. After all, the fundamental goal is to make money.


    As a fund manager who has worked on Wall Street for many years, Michael Bray heard Luo An��s reminder and instantly clarified the context of the matter in his mind. The expression on his face became excited. He slapped the table and said excitedly:


    ��This is a rare opportunity. We can also short the stocks of investment companies such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley and make another fortune!��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An nodded with satisfaction and then asked:


    ��How much is left of the US$80 million transferred a few days ago? Do you have enough funds in hand?��


    ��There is no need to use the money.��


    ??Michael Bray, who was reminded by Luo An to clarify his thoughts, once again became a professional manager. The corners of his mouth were raised, and the smile on his face was very confident, and he said:


    ��Now that New Century Financial Corporation has gone bankrupt and federal housing prices have begun to decline, CDS, a financial product, will be the hardest hard currency on Wall Street in the next period of time!


    ?In the past two years, except for you, Luo An, other investors in the company have not believed in my judgment and have repeatedly requested to withdraw their capital..."


    Roan smiled and nodded, then continued what Michael Bray said:


    ��Now it��s time to redeem the CDS and collect the proceeds, it��s the turn of these people to contribute.��


    ?Those who invested in Michael Bray''s company are all wealthy people, and the combined connections and energy behind them cannot be underestimated.


    When they were losing money before, these people cursed Michael Bray. Now that it��s time to make money, it��s time for them to charge ahead of Michael Bray and demand that investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley pay CDS as a ��gamble capital��. .


    "Hahaha��"


    Michael Bray raised his head and laughed, all the depression in his heart was swept away. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Luo An, and said with a serious face:


    ��Luo An, believe me, I am absolutely worth every penny you invest in me.��


    ? ? "Of course." ? ? Luo An took a deep look at Michael Bray and said with a smile:


    ��I have always believed that Mr. Michael Burry is the best fund manager on Wall Street.��


    The two looked at each other and smiled, and exchanged a few simple greetings. Luo An left first, and Michael Bray also picked up his mobile phone and started to contact the rich people.


    ? It has not been long since the bankruptcy of New Century Financial Corporation, and federal housing prices have just begun to fall. Investment companies such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley cannot cash out CDS immediately. At least they have to wait until they finish handling their internal matters.


    ??This period of time will not be short, and Luo An cannot focus too much on Wall Street. It is just right to leave it to Michael Bray, an experienced real estate manager.


    ?However, Luo An also invests in other stocks on Wall Street, such as Apple, Amazon, Google and other Internet companies.


    The financial crisis in 2008 also had a considerable impact on the stock prices of Internet stocks. For example, the stock price of Google once fell as high as 56%.


    There was still time, and the stock prices of Internet companies and other companies had not yet fallen. Luo An decisively sold the stocks of Apple, Google and other companies at hand at high prices in exchange for cash and kept it in the bank. At the same time, he called Mona and Lacey to explain the situation. .


    Hearing that Luo An suggested that they sell all the stocks of these companies within the next few days, Michelle, Winslow, and Chenie suddenly opened their eyes and were very surprised.


    ?Considering Luo An��s past performance, Michelle, Winslow and Chenelle looked at each other and sold them all without hesitation.


    As for Mona and Lacey, they acted very quickly. Without asking why, they did not hesitate at all after hanging up the phone. They directly took out their mobile phones to contact the stock traders on Wall Street and asked them to transfer all the stocks they held. Sold.


    That afternoon, Luo An left Wall Street in New York and drove back to the investigative team building in Washington, D.C. When he walked into the office area, a group of agents were discussing stock returns.


    ?Winslow and Cheniere have been members of the special investigation team for the shortest time. In addition, the investment amount was not high and the investment time was not long. They made about US$700,000 from selling those stocks.


    Michelle lasted a little longer, earning more than $900,000.


    ??Mona didn��t elaborate, and they didn��t plan to ask too much. As for Lacey, she looked at her phone and laughed as soon as she received the text message from the bank, as if her IQ had cleared.


    ��How about a bet?��


    ??Seeing Lacey''s silly smile and Winslow''s head full of black lines, he patted Chenelle on the shoulder and whispered:


    ��I bet ten dollars that when Luo An comes back later, this guy will definitely be the first to pounce on him.��


    ��I��ll bet ten dollars too.��


    Chenelle rolled her eyes and whispered:


    ��I bet when Lacey pounces on her, Roan will slap her aside.��


    "make a deal."


    Not long after, Luo An pushed the door open and said casually:


    ��Everyone, I��m back.��


    ��Luo An!��


    As soon as he finished speaking, Lacey suddenly jumped up from the chair, jumped towards Luo An, and said excitedly:


    ��You are the most handsome man in the world!��


    ��Thank you for the compliment, but there��s no need to tell the truth.��


    Luo An responded casually, took a step to the right to avoid Lacey''s surprise attack, then grabbed Lacey''s clothes and threw her onto a chair nearby.


    ?In the office area, Winslow and Chenelle nodded as expected, then each took out ten dollars and handed them to the other.


    ������x2


    ??Seeing the actions of Winslow and Chenelle, Mona and Michelle looked at each other and saw the speechlessness in each other''s eyes. They felt that the people in the investigation team seemed to be getting more and more outrageous.


    ?After a moment of silence, Mona raised her hand and said:


    ��Luo An, I have something to ask.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 821： Kill an eagle with one arrow

    Chapter 821 Killing an Eagle with One Arrow


    Pushing Lacey away who was trying to crawl towards him, Roan turned to look at Mona:


    ��What��s the matter? Just tell me.��


    ��It��s related to the balloon case.��


    ?Hearing Mona talking about business, Lacey immediately stopped what she was doing. Others also looked serious. Mona continued:


    ��Several days have passed now, and there is still no news from deputy team leader Paul. Do we really continue to wait and do nothing?��


    ?Winslow, Chenelle, Lacey, and Michelle also looked puzzled.


    ??No matter what the case was in the past, the special investigation team''s agents had a clear division of labor. Mona and Michelle would investigate information online, Lacey and Chenille would visit and investigate offline, and Winslow would go to support according to the situation.


    In the current balloon case, after a busy few days in the early days, the truth was investigated, and the murderer Eun Yomi was successfully captured and brought back to the special investigation team. The subsequent events seemed to have been handed over to Deputy Team Leader Paul by the Luo Security Department. People like them Just waiting for news every day.


    ��I just wanted to say this.��


    Luo An smiled, walked into the team leader''s office, took out a few folders and distributed them to everyone, saying:


    ��Everyone, the balloon case itself is just a small case, but there is a lot behind it.��


    ??When he first took over the balloon case, Trick Kennedy approached Luo An and said that at the FBI''s Washington headquarters, due to the increase in funding for the case handling department this year, some departments began to quietly say unpleasant things behind their backs.


    ?Some media in Washington, DC, learned about this incident and discussed it. Many people praised it, but some people believed that the increase in funding for the case handling department was a sign of the FBI''s incompetence.


    They believe that truly outstanding case-handling talents can investigate the truth of the case without so much funding.


    Increased funding means that the quality of case investigators is not good enough, and some people even plan to take advantage of this opportunity to engage in corruption and waste taxpayers'' money.


    ?Trick Kennedy thus hopes that Luo An can solve a big case and dispel those rumors.


    ??Luo An was quite speechless about this. Big cases were not something he could just ask for, and he couldn''t guarantee that he could solve the case 100% every time.


    ??When he found out the truth about the balloon case, Luo An didn''t think too much. After all, it was just a small case of disembowelment and murder.


    After meeting Deputy Team Leader Paul, an idea suddenly flashed in Luo An��s mind and he realized that the case had great potential.


    While Mona and Cheniel were looking at the folder, Luo An introduced:


    ��According to the information received from deputy team leader Paul, there are three gangs selling flour in the underground world in the southern area of ??Washington.


    ??The three gangs are in intrigue and hate each other. They all want to kill each other and swallow up the territory of each other''s influence.


    ?The leader of one of the gangs happened to be the boss of Yoon''s book seller, White Cobra O''Malion. "


    After reading the relevant information about the three gangs in the document, Lacey looked up with some doubts and said:


    ��So, Luo An, what do you mean?��


    Luo An grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said with a smile:


    ��Take this opportunity to catch all three gangs in one go!��


    ?Luo An��s plan is not complicated. The first step is to investigate the bases of the three gangs, the flour storage locations, the whereabouts of the three bosses, and the arrangements for their entourage.


    This matter is best left to deputy team leader Paul, who has rich experience and a wide network of contacts.


    ??The detectives in the special investigation team are not very familiar with the underground world, and as time goes by, interested people have had the opportunity to obtain information about their appearance. If they investigate, they may alert the enemy.


    ?After obtaining the whereabouts of White Cobra Omarian, the special investigation team agents will arrest and imprison him, but this information will be "accidentally leaked".


    On the other side, the experienced deputy leader Paul will use some means to convince the bosses of the other two gangs in advance and take this opportunity to immediately annex the territory of White Cobra-Omarion. After all, if he does not rob it, he will be robbed by another person. Walk.


    After the bosses of the two parties receive the "accidentally leaked" information and lead the team to start grabbing the territory, Luo An, deputy leader Paul and others will lead the team to raid the headquarters and bases of the two gangs and collect all their flour. stock. As for the bosses of the two gangs themselves, it would be best if they can be captured alive. If not, they can be shot directly.


    The life and death of the two men is not important. What is important is the flour inventory of their three gangs. Deputy team leader Paul calculated through some channels that the total amount of flour of the three gangs can definitely be measured in tons.


    Putting these flours on the spot will definitely have a great visual impact.


    Deputy team leader Paul''s field work is definitely not something he can continue with just this one job. He just has enough credit to be promoted and sit in the office.


    Some departments within the FBI cannot continue to discuss it behind the scenes, and external media will also praise it.


    Luo An kills two birds with one stone. Not only did he complete the task assigned by Chief Trick Kennedy and help deputy team leader Paul get promoted, but the bonuses and income of the subsequent special investigation team agents will also be more than solving a caesarean section murder case alone. many.


    Luo An finished his brief introduction and finally concluded in a deep voice:


    ��In the coming days, the main task of our special investigation team is to show that everything is normal and to do what we need to do, and wait for news from Deputy Team Leader Paul.��


    ? Considering that the agents at the FBI headquarters could not guarantee that everything would be alright, the action plan was kept top secret before this, and only deputy team leaders Luo An and Paul knew about it.


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    ?Mona and Michelle looked at Luo An with burning eyes and agreed in unison.


    ? Winslow and Chenelle''s eyes sparkled. They liked this kind of action plan that killed the enemy with one strike and directly destroyed the criminals with sharp methods.


    Lacie received the order with the loudest voice and the most excited expression. She mainly heard Luo An��s last words: the bonus will be even greater after the case is over!


    ?? After discussing in a low voice for a moment, the agents of the special investigation team returned to their previous appearance in a tacit understanding, and what to do:


    ?Michelle handled the written materials, Mona and Chenelle assisted, Winslow and Lacey ordered meals for everyone, and Roan was responsible for eating and fishing.


    ??One day passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing happened the next day. Until the afternoon of the third day, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button and the voice of deputy team leader Paul rang on the phone.


    After a brief discussion, Deputy Team Leader Paul quickly hung up the phone. Luo An slammed the door and left the team leader''s office. He pushed the door and walked into the office area. He clapped his hands to attract the attention of the agents and said in a deep voice:


    ��Everyone, get ready for action!��


    With the order given, the agents who had been prepared for a long time stood up and organized their equipment very quickly but methodically. Luo An also called the SWAT team:


    ��This is the Special Investigation Team, I am Roan Greenwood.��


    ?At 8:30 that night, on a street in southern Washington, D.C., in a dark area that was not illuminated by street lights, Winslow and Chenelle led a SWAT team to ambush.


    In the distance, there are two different rooms, one in the east and one in the west. One has a sinister face and a group of men in jackets standing around it. The other wears glasses and has a gloomy face.


    They held their mobile phones and waited for the message to arrive. They believed that they would be the final winners tonight.


    Farther away, in a SWAT troop carrier, Mona and Michelle were typing on the keyboard quickly. Luo An looked at the dark night sky outside, and a question flashed through his mind:


    ��What level of protected animal is the oriole?��


    ??? Before Luo An could think of the answer, Mona''s voice suddenly sounded:


    "Winslow, the target person has entered the attack area!"


    "start to act!"


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 822： The action begins

    Chapter 822 The action begins


    ?8:40 pm, Washington, D.C., on a street in the south.


    ??The moment it was confirmed that White Cobra Omarian and his men entered the ambush circle, Winslow, who had been waiting for a long time, did not hesitate and immediately pressed the communicator and ordered:


    "start to act!"


    "clear!"


    Around the street, two cars that had been waiting in the dark for a long time rushed out, one after another, directly intercepting the convoy of Omarian and others.


    ?At the same time, the heavily armed SWAT members, holding rifles and explosion-proof shields, quickly surrounded the convoy, and at the same time shouted orders:


    ��FBI! You are surrounded!��


    ��The driver puts his hands on the steering wheel! Everyone else puts their hands up!��


    ��Don��t move! Don��t move!��


    ��Don��t try to touch the weapon or we��ll shoot!��


    ??The sudden appearance of the FBI startled everyone in the convoy, and Omarian''s face instantly became extremely gloomy.


    ? Just as he was about to say something, a guy in the front car tried to resist with a gun. The SWAT team member who saw this scene pulled the trigger without hesitation.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    ??The sudden sound of gunfire startled everyone present. Several Omarian''s men subconsciously drew their guns to resist. Upon seeing this, the SWAT team members launched an attack.


    In just a few seconds, the interior of the car was stained red by the men who were trying to get their guns. Winslow directed the SWAT team members to turn their guns and shouted again:


    ��Put your hands up! Do you hear me? Put your hands up!��


    ��Don��t move!��


    ��Get off the car! Get off the car!��


    ??White Cobra-Omarian''s face was so gloomy that he could drip water, but those men who had no breath were placed in front of him. Omarian took a deep breath, and finally chose to open the door and get out of the car.


    ��Search me! The handcuffs must be tighter!��


    ?Winslow grabbed O''Marian''s collar, pushed him to the car, took out the handcuffs and handcuffed him.


    ?At the same time, he loudly ordered the SWAT team members to tightly restrain all the remaining men. Then everyone simply cleaned up the scene and quickly drove Omarian and others out of the area.


    Less than ten seconds after Winslow and others left, in the distance, in the east and west directions, the gang boss with a sinister face and the gang boss wearing glasses received the news that Omarian had been captured.


    "Hahaha��"


    ??The boss with a sinister face threw his head back and laughed, grabbed the pistol, stood up and shouted loudly at the men in jackets beside him:


    ��That dead snake is gone, let��s take over our territory now!��


    ?On the other side, the gang boss wearing glasses turned his phone off with a grin on his face, and the expression on his face became more sinister.


    In the room outside, a group of men and women had been waiting for a long time. The man with glasses opened the door and walked out of the office. Seeing all his subordinates getting up and turning to look like him, he chuckled and said softly:


    "Set off."


    ?At the same time, further away in the SWAT personnel carrier, Mona and Michelle��s fingers were flying on the keyboard, and the crackling sound was endless.


    ?A few seconds later, Mona paused, turned her head and looked at Luo An with a serious face, and said in a deep voice:


    ��Luo An, people from both the Eastern and Western gangs have begun to move out.��


    Luo An looked away from the night sky outside and asked unhurriedly:


    ��Have the leaders of the two gangs also set off?��


    "No."


    Michelle next to her shook her head and replied:


    ��Chance, who was all muscled up, did lead the group in person, but Giannido, who was wearing glasses, did not. The people who led the group were his trusted subordinates.��


    "this��"


    Hearing this, Lacey, who was sitting behind Luo An, frowned and asked quickly:


    ��Will it cause trouble for the next actions?��


    ��Don��t be impatient.��


    ??Luo An gently waved his hand to signal Lacey and the others not to panic, then pressed the communicator, adjusted the channel and contacted Deputy Team Leader Paul.


    For tonight''s operation, Deputy Team Leader Paul also brought a team of people, and they happened to be in charge of the bespectacled man Giannido''s side.


    "It doesn''t matter."


    ?After listening to Luo An��s description, Deputy Team Leader Paul on the other end of the liaison laughed and did not panic at all. They had investigated the bespectacled man Giannido a long time ago and knew that he was a gloomy and vicious guy who always made his subordinates work hard and never took risks himself.


    ??Sending his cronies out tonight and sitting at home to wait for news is very consistent with Giannido''s character and behavior pattern. Deputy Team Leader Paul and the others have already made an action plan in advance for such a situation.


    ��As long as you are prepared.��


    ?Luo An nodded slightly, and the two parties communicated briefly before hanging up the communicator.


    Continue to wait for a while. Five minutes later, Deputy Team Leader Paul and Luo An received the news that Boss Qianz, who was full of arrogance, and the cronies of the bespectacled man Giannido, had brought people with Cobra-Omarian before they could react. The men started fighting.


    Deputy team leaders Luo An and Paul did not hesitate. They pressed the communicator at the same time and ordered loudly:


    ��Get started as planned!��


    "receive!"


    "clear!"


    ?Everyone who had been waiting for a long time responded decisively. The heavily armed SWAT team members rushed out of the personnel carrier and launched raids towards their target locations according to the action plan previously specified by Luo An.


    ��FBI, Openthedoor!��


    "lay down your weapon!"


    ��Don��t move! Let us see your hands!��


    ��Left! Left!��


    ��If someone resists, shoot!��


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    At the base of the two gangs and the warehouse where white flour is stored, blazing gunshots rang out almost simultaneously, and fierce fighting broke out instantly.


    ?The gang readers may have resisted, but the action was too sudden, and the SWAT team members were well-armed and well-trained. It didn''t take long for them to be defeated and imprisoned.


    On the other side, Chance, who had a savage face, and Giannido, who was wearing glasses, soon received news that their base and warehouse had been raided.


    The two of them were very shocked. While their faces changed drastically, they unanimously made a decision: lead their cronies to leave Washington immediately!


    boom! boom! boom!


    Boom��


    ?? Before the bespectacled man, Giannido, could stand up and leave, fierce gunshots and explosions suddenly broke out. Deputy team leader Paul quickly led people to rush to the office.


    On the arrogant Chance side, Luo An and Lacey also led the SWAT team members to surround him and shouted loudly:


    ��FBI! Put down your weapons!��


    ��MotherFu-ker!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    ?Chains, who was full of anger, and his men yelled curses and began to fight back with guns.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    Fierce gunfire rang out instantly, but it did not last long. As Luo An shot Chance in the shoulder and forced him to fall to the ground, the other men were quickly killed and wounded by the heavily armed SWAT team members, who then took away their weapons. Coupled it.


    ?Chance, whose hands were handcuffed, had a ferocious face, stared at Luo An with wide eyes, and said angrily:


    ��I��ve seen your picture, Roan Greenwood, you damn����


    ��Take away, take away.��


    Luo An was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. He waved his hand and motioned to the SWAT team members to take him away. Then he pressed the communicator and asked Deputy Team Leader Paul:


    ��How are you doing there?��


    ��Overall, it went smoothly, except that the leader, Giannido, was not caught.��


    Deputy team leader Paul on the other end of the communicator responded in a not-so-good tone:


    ��The moment we broke into the office, Giannido blew himself up with a grenade and now he��s all over the place.��


    Luo An raised his eyebrows in surprise. Some thoughts flashed through his mind but he did not elaborate on them. Then he asked:


    ��Have you found all the flour in the warehouse?��


    ��Already found.��


    Deputy team leader Paul smiled and lowered his voice:


    ��Besides flour, there are other interesting things.��

 Chapter 823： Discovery of WhiteHouse

    Chapter 823 The Discovery of WhiteHouse


    The next day, at ten o''clock in the morning, FBI headquarters in Washington.


    ??In the small square behind the building, a group of media reporters stood outside the isolation line and took photos frantically.


    Inside the quarantine line, a dozen FBI agents wearing suits, masks and gloves were carefully sorting and calculating the items in the square, shouting out the weight of the items from time to time.


    For example, 723 pounds of white flour is equal to approximately 327 kilograms; 60 pounds of fentanyl is approximately equal to 27 kilograms; and 270 pounds of high-purity rock sugar is approximately equal to 120 kilograms.


    ?In addition, not far away, there are hundreds of packages of green plants waiting to be weighed.


    Click��click��


    Outside the quarantine line, the sound of shutters almost never stopped, and a few journalists who had received permission even started live broadcasting directly. They suppressed their shock, looked at the live broadcast camera with a smile and said loudly:


    ��This is the largest reading case cracked by the FBI��s Washington headquarters so far this year, with the total value of the seized reading materials exceeding US$30 million����


    While the host was live broadcasting, some reporters not far away were also quite shocked. They took photos and discussed in a low voice:


    ��It looks like today��s news headlines are here.��


    ��Maybe this news can last a week. The FBI headquarters in Washington hasn��t cracked such a big reading case for a long time. Those people inside will definitely say hello to the editor-in-chief.��


    ��Normal, it��s not like this.��


    ��By the way, who is the person who solved this case? Why is there no news yet?��


    ��That��s the very powerful team leader Roan Greenwood, who has a ridiculously high crime detection rate.��


    ��Is that the team leader who is very handsome and has a very good figure?��


    ����Which sector are you from?��


    ��Entertainment and fashion channel!��


    ����


    ��A detective just informed us that the press conference will start in an hour����


    ?While the media was having a noisy discussion, in an office inside the building next to it, Deputy Director Mr. Ferdinand, Headquarters Director Trick Kennedy, and leaders of various departments were gathering together for a meeting.


    The meeting was about the white flour in the square downstairs.


    Under normal circumstances, this kind of case does not require Deputy Director Ferdinand to come forward, but there is a connection between this case and this year��s fund allocation. Many people in the department are discussing behind the scenes that there may be some problems with Deputy Director Ferdinand��s approach.


    ?Now this case has attracted a lot of attention. Both Trick Kennedy and Mr. Ferdinand have taken advantage of this case to gain a lot of reputation and breathe a sigh of relief.


    Therefore, during the meeting, Deputy Director Mr. Ferdinand repeatedly praised Trick Kennedy for his good leadership, and his team leader Roan Greenwood was very capable, young and promising, and had quite the charm of his youth.


    ?Trick Kennedy nodded repeatedly, indicating that what the superior said was right. No matter whether they were in good or bad moods, other people in the conference room finally smiled and raised their hands to applaud.


    At the same time, Luo An is leading the detectives of the special investigation team, working with deputy team leader Paul and his detectives to deal with the follow-up work of the three criminal gangs.


    ?While everyone was busy, many passing detectives greeted them with smiles. There was no sign of the whispers behind their backs like the previous days.


    Handing a document to Michelle, Lacey patted her chest and said speechlessly:


    ��No, I feel like I��m going to vomit.��


    Chenelle looked up, smiled, and asked:


    ��What, are you pregnant? Which woman?��


    ??Lacie rolled her eyes at Chenelle and explained:


    ��It��s the attitude of the people outside. It��s changing so fast. When I came here a few days ago, the guys at the door didn��t even bother to talk to me.


    It turned out that when I went there to pick up something just now, they actually sent someone to guide me with a smile... It was really outrageous. "


    "Get used to it."


    Winslow threw a criminal into jail, walked over, picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Since joining the special investigation team, I have encountered a lot of this kind of thing.


    Some female agents approached me casually, and I began to think that their target was me. After chatting for a while, I found out that their real target was Luo An. "


    ��Female agent?��


    Lacey''s eyes lit up. She looked at Mona, who was calm and taking care of her work. Then she smiled, walked to Winslow and asked:


    ��Who are those female agents? What do they look like?��


    Winslow coughed lightly and took a sip of coffee without saying anything. Chenelle looked at Lacey with some confusion and started to rub her hands together and asked:


    ��Winslow already said that the target of those female agents is Luo An, why are you so excited?��


    ��I am one of the agents of the special investigation team and a good friend of Luo An.��


    Lacey crossed her arms, with an expression of "I think about Luo An" on her face, and replied:


    "Since those female agents are plotting against Luo An, of course I have the obligation to help Luo An get rid of them and let them give up their intentions."


    ? Winslow, Mona, Chenelle and Michelle all rolled their eyes when they heard this, and Mona went on to say:


    ��Then you can comfort them, and gradually you can comfort them until they sleep together, right?��


    Lacey��s expression remained unchanged, she didn��t feel embarrassed at all, and she even analyzed with a serious face:


    ��We have to look at the character and figure of the female agents before making a decision.��


    ������x4


    ??The four of them had black lines on their heads and speechlessness written on their faces. At this moment, Trick Kennedy, who had finished the meeting, opened the door and walked in and asked:


    ��Where is Luo An?��


    "Next room."


    ??Mona stood up and pointed to the room next to her, and replied:


    ��Luo An is discussing the follow-up of the case with deputy team leader Paul.��


    ?Trick Kennedy knew the relationship between Mona and Roan, so he smiled and briefly exchanged greetings with Mona, refused her offer to lead the way, and walked to the next room by himself.


    ?Trick Kennedy pushed open the door and walked in. Deputy team leaders Luo An and Paul stood up and said:


    ��Good morning, sir.��


    ��You really gave me a big surprise this time!��


    ?Trick Kennedy had a very big smile on his face. He repeatedly praised the two of them for their great work and said that Deputy Director Ferdinand was also very satisfied.


    ��By the way, there will be a press conference later.��


    ?Trick Kennedy was mid-sentence when he suddenly remembered that Luo An didn��t like to meet with the media, so he asked Luo An about his plans this time.


    Roan can decide whether to participate or not. Trick-Kennedy has already told Deputy Director Ferdinand before, and the other party agreed to this matter.


    ��I still won��t participate.��


    As usual, Luo An once again gave up attending the press conference. Rather than ostentatiously seek the limelight, he preferred to keep a low profile and take away actual benefits, such as subsequent bonuses and other gains from the case.


    ?After a brief chat, Deputy Team Leader Paul left first. Trick Kennedy then sat next to Luo An and began to ask about last night''s actions. He was more interested in this aspect.


    "correct."


    ??Picked up the coffee and took a sip. Suddenly, Trick Kennedy''s eyes moved slightly and he lowered his voice and said:


    ��A few days ago, some unknown white powder was discovered in the work area of ??the west wing of White House, which caused the White House to be closed for a short period of time.


    After testing, the white powder was found to be cocaine. They are investigating the reason why the substance entered the White House. "


    ? Luo An raised his eyebrows, and WhiteHouse discovered that white flour was actually not uncommon. Many singers and actors in history had brought illegal items into the house without permission.


    ?Trick Kennedy chuckled, and just as he was about to continue speaking, there was a knock on the door, and Michelle walked in with a serious face and said:


    ��Sir, there are new discoveries in the Trace Inspection Department.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 824： [Counterfeit Twenty Dollar Bill Case]

    Chapter 824 [Counterfeit Twenty Dollar Bill Case]


    The FBI headquarters building in Washington, a temporarily borrowed office.


    ��The Trace Inspection Department discovered a new situation.��


    ?Seeing Michelle say this with a serious face, Trick Kennedy was stunned for a moment. Roan frowned slightly and asked:


    ��Could it be that the guys everywhere who were hit by grenades weren��t Giannido the man with glasses?��


    ?Michelle was stunned for a second when she heard this. After she realized what she was saying, she shook her head and walked to the side to get out of the way:


    ��That��s not the case. If the situation is specific, the agents from the Trace Inspection Section have already arrived. Let��s let them explain.��


    ?Michelle opened the door, and two agents from the Trace Inspection Section, a man and a woman, walked in one after another. After entering the room, the two first said hello to Trick Kennedy:


    ��Good afternoon, sir.��


    ?Trick Kennedy nodded and asked directly:


    ��What have you discovered? A new type of reading material?��


    ��No, it has nothing to do with the reading.��


    The female agent put the briefcase she carried on the table and slowly took out a transparent evidence bag from it. The transparent evidence bag contained a twenty-dollar bill.


    ��Twenty dollars?��


    ?Trick Kennedy frowned slightly, took the evidence bag and examined it carefully. Luo An quickly understood and asked:


    ��Is this counterfeit money?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ??The female detective from the Trace Inspection Section nodded with a serious face and introduced:


    ��Captain Luo An, your operation ended last night. At first, our Trace Inspection Section only found the reading materials downstairs in those warehouses.


    ?This morning, one of our detectives accidentally discovered a secret room in an underground casino belonging to the Giannido gang.


    In addition to some chips and some necessary cheating equipment for casinos, there was more than half a million dollars in the secret room. We thought that the money was the casino''s gambling funds.


    After careful inspection, it was discovered that only $40,000 of the $540,000 was genuine, and the remaining $500,000 were counterfeit bills with a face value of $20. "


    ��Fake banknotes totaling half a million dollars?!��


    After the introduction of the female agent, Trick Kennedy''s face darkened instantly. Luo An''s expression remained unchanged and he asked:


    ��What��s the style of the counterfeit money?��


    The male detective next to him had a solemn face and said seriously:


    ��It is very similar to real banknotes and is almost impossible for ordinary people to identify without relying on banknote verification equipment.


    ? Even without careful inspection, we almost didn��t find the problem in the first place. "


    The male agent then took out a folder from his briefcase and said in a deep voice:


    ��In addition, there was also a counterfeit money case in California three years ago.


    ???The counterfeit currency in this counterfeit case was also twenty dollars, with the same skill and skill, making it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish.


    ?However, the total amount of counterfeit banknotes in that case was not large, and the total amount did not exceed one hundred US dollars.


    For some reasons, the case was not solved and there were not many clues. Only a few counterfeit banknotes at the time were preserved. "


    ?Trick Kennedy was still looking at the counterfeit banknote carefully and found nothing wrong at all. Luo An reached out to take the folder and asked while checking:


    ��Are you sure that the counterfeit money we found today and the counterfeit money found in California three years ago were made by the same people?��


    The male detective shook his head and explained:


    ��We are not sure at the moment. The Trace Inspection Department��s research on counterfeit banknotes is not very deep. It��s just that the production technology of both is very high, so we have this suspicion.��


    ��OK, thank you for your hard work.��


    ?After a brief discussion, the male and female detectives from the Trace Inspection Section turned and left the office, while Luo An left the folder and a counterfeit banknote behind.


    Looking at the counterfeit banknote in Luo An''s hand, Trick Kennedy frowned and asked in a serious voice: "Luo An, what do you think about these counterfeit banknotes?"


    ��There are very few clues at hand, and I haven��t thought of anything yet.��


    ??Luo An picked up the counterfeit banknote and looked at the sun, but found nothing wrong with it. He even felt no abnormality in the hand. He was silent for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:


    ��Sir, I will contact the state of California later and ask someone to retrieve the counterfeit money from three years ago.


    ?Then I plan to invite some currency experts to check whether the counterfeit banknotes from that year and our newly discovered counterfeit banknotes are made in the same way.


    ?However, I don��t know many people who are currency experts, and I hope the superior can provide some help. "


    "no problem!"


    ?Trick Kennedy smiled and nodded, and agreed without hesitation.


    ?? After a brief discussion, Trick Kennedy frowned and left the office first. He thought that the gang and the book seller would be captured and the case would be over. Unexpectedly, there would be new discoveries later.


    After thinking for a few seconds, Luo An also walked out of the office. After listening to Luo An''s introduction, all the agents in the office area looked at each other. They also did not expect that counterfeit banknotes would be found in the casino.


    ??Taken the counterfeit banknote and looked it up and down carefully for a long time, Lacey''s face was full of doubts:


    "Luo An, are you sure this is a counterfeit banknote? It seems to be no different from the real banknote. Could it be that the Trace Inspection Department made a mistake?"


    Chenelle rolled her eyes at Lacey, reached out and grabbed the twenty dollars, checked carefully for a few seconds, and found nothing wrong, and said with a strange expression:


    ��There��s nothing wrong with the watermark, texture, and feel...Which group has such great technology? It really doesn��t look like fake banknotes.��


    ��Show me again.��


    Lacie once again reached out and snatched the counterfeit money:


    ��This is the first time I have seen such a real counterfeit banknote. The other person is really awesome.��


    ��Don��t grab it, it��s the first time I��ve seen it too!��


    Chenelle and Lacey started to quarrel like this. Mona glanced at them and didn''t bother to talk to them. She looked at Roan and asked:


    ��Luo An, what should we do next?��


    ?Luo An picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile:


    ��No rush, let��s deal with the flour downstairs first, as well as the book sellers and gang members temporarily imprisoned in the prison, and then investigate this counterfeit money case.��


    This counterfeit banknote case happened suddenly, and no one expected it. In addition, the nature of the counterfeit banknote case determined that the investigation of it would definitely take a lot of time, so Trick Kennedy was not in a hurry, and Luo An was also prepared to go ahead. Let��s deal with the case at hand first.


    "correct."


    ??Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered the information in the folder. He clapped his hands to attract everyone''s attention and said:


    ��When interrogating the criminals under Giannido these days, I would like to ask if any of them know where the counterfeit banknotes came from, and try to get some clues.��


    "clear."


    "no problem!"


    ?All the detectives nodded in agreement, chatted and laughed for a while, and then began to handle the follow-up work of the case again.


    Not long after, the press conference officially started downstairs. The media did not see Roan Greenwood, the team leader they most wanted to see, and they all looked disappointed. The originally warm atmosphere at the scene was reduced a lot.


    ?Trick Kennedy was quite speechless standing in front of the media, but in the office upstairs, Luo An was in a good mood.


    In the office, Luo An closed his eyes tightly and pretended to rest, but in fact he was checking the light blue system page in his mind.


    After the [Polonium 210 Case], Luo An experienced the [Murder Case of the Toy Company President��s Granddaughter] brought to his doorstep by the murderer himself; the [Throat Cutting and Footprint Death Case] ??related to the Trial Process Church; and the murder of a couple while reading. A small case evolved into the "Balloon Case" that wiped out three gangs.


    After the [Lieutenant Governor��s Heart Transplant Murder Case], Luo An discovered that the more treasure boxes he accumulated, the higher the probability of finding the medicine he wanted later.


    Taking a few deep breaths, Luo An''s spirit moved slightly and he opened the first treasure box.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 825： System Harvest and Monetary Harvest

    Chapter 825 System Harvest and Monetary Harvest


    [The murder of the granddaughter of the toy company president], the system rated Luo An as [Excellent], and he accumulated 10 treasure boxes.


    [Judgement Process Church Case], the system evaluation is also [Excellent], and a total of 10 treasure chests have been accumulated.


    ?The [Balloon Case] ??being processed has a system evaluation of [Extremely Excellent] and 6 treasure boxes have been accumulated.


    There are a total of 26 treasure chests, which is the most Luo An has accumulated so far. He slowly clicks on them one by one. The familiar rough cutscene ends, and 26 treasure chests are opened.


    ��Swift Potion x5��


    ��Strength Potion x3��


    ��Hemostatic Agent x4��


    ��Antidote x1��

    ��Regeneration Potion x3��


    ��Danger Sense Potion x3��


    ��Analgesic Medicine x2��


    ��Featherfall Potion x2��


    ��Yes!��


    ??Seeing the three newly opened bottles of [Danger Sense Potion], Luo An''s eyes flashed and he clapped his hands hard.


    Open the warehouse sign in the lower right corner. There are [Stamina Potion x11] in it.


    ��Hemostatic Agent x10��

    In such a long time, this is the first time on the system warehouse page that the total number of five potions has reached double digits.


    Needless to say, single-use functional potions such as [Sleep Potion] and [Featherfall Potion] can work wonders in many cases to help Luo An solve problems.


    10 bottles of [Regeneration Potion], in a sense, gave Luo An 10 chances to stand at the end.


    ??He has done some side experiments in the past. As long as Luo An was not hit in the heart or head and died on the spot, the [Regeneration Potion] could slowly recover Luo An.


    ??If you want to avoid being hit in the heart and head by enemy sneak attacks, you can''t do without the [Danger Sensing Potion] at the bottom.


    The ability of [Danger Sensing Potion] allows Luo An to predict fatal danger in advance, and secondly, by sensing other people''s attitudes towards him, he can judge whether the other party will be detrimental to him.


    The first ability is more passive and cannot be used actively. You can only wait for others to do harm to you and react one step ahead to avoid injury.


    ? Luo An has always preferred to be active rather than passive, so he focused more on the second ability.


    ?Through careful thinking and a little digging, Luo An used his second ability to perceive other people''s attitudes towards him and developed "emotional perception".


    ��Emotional perception�� can determine other people��s attitudes, likes and dislikes, and loyalty towards you; it can also determine the truth or falsehood of other people��s words. Through brain teasers similar to "guessing true and false words - judging real information", Luo An developed this ability into a kind of "mind reading" in the eyes of others.


    At the same time, only living people have emotions. Even in sleep or coma, there will be fluctuations in thoughts. Luo An uses this to develop "emotional perception" to detect where the enemies around him are; to detect the enemy''s route; to determine whether the enemy is dead or not. Pretending to be dead.


    Knowledge and wisdom are the foundation for human success, Luo An firmly believes in this.


    [Regeneration Potion] can allow Luo An to "rebirth" after being injured, but being injured is not a good thing after all, so [Regeneration Potion] has always been placed second by Luo An, reserved as a trump card and backup preparation.


    ��Danger Sense Potion��that can avoid enemy attacks in advance will always be considered by Luo An as having the highest priority.


    After the [Polonium 210 Case], two bottles of [Danger Sensing Potion] were opened from the treasure chest. Luo An did not take them on the spot and kept them in the system warehouse.


    Today, 3 bottles of [Danger Sensing Potion] were successfully opened, and the number in the warehouse was also accumulated to 5 bottles. Luo An took it out with a smile, looked at it with burning eyes for a few seconds, without further hesitation, raised his head and poured all of it into himself. belly.


    Close your eyes and feel it quietly. After a few seconds, the most significant change will be the detection distance of "emotional perception".


    ? In the past, the detection distance has always been 16.5 meters. After drinking 5 bottles of [Danger Sense Potion], the distance began to slowly expand outward, and soon increased to 20 meters.


    ? What surprised Luo An was that when the distance increased to 20 meters, although the expansion speed slowed down, it did not stop immediately.


    ?As time passed, the distance continued to increase little by little. It was not until it reached 22 meters that it slowly stopped expanding and finally stopped.


    Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly. In the past, he drank one bottle of [Danger Sense Potion] alone, but the detection distance did not directly increase by 1 meter. This time, he drank 5 bottles in a row, but it increased by 5 meters...


    After pondering for a long time, Luo An finally decided to go back and accumulate some more [Danger Sensing Potion] and study the logic behind it.


    Closing his eyes again, in addition to the increase in detection distance, Luo An felt that other aspects seemed to have changed, but he still didn''t know exactly where.


    ��! Boom! Boom!


    At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the office door. Mona opened the door and walked in with a frown:


    ��Luo An, there are some documents that you need to deal with.��


    ��OK.��


    ? ? Reaching out to take the document, Luo An put aside the matter of "emotional perception" for the time being and carefully dealt with the follow-up of the case.


    ?Time soon came to off-duty time, and the agents of the special investigation team left to go home. When Deputy Team Leader Paul and others saw Luo An, they all said hello with smiles on their faces before leaving.


    ? Driving back to the villa, Mona went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes. Luo An walked into the study and turned on his computer and began to calculate the monetary gains.


    On Wall Street, Luo An spent US$475 million to purchase CDS, and the US$80 million he lent to Michael was later used by Michael to short the stocks of investment companies such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. The exact amount of gains will probably take a long time. time.


    At the Illinois Nuclear Power Plant Company, Luo An took advantage of the company''s chaos and made $11 million by shorting the stock.


    ?Due to the short time, Luo An only made $400,000 from the new stocks he bought for $3 million.


    Considering that the financial crisis was about to break out, Luo An sold it together with Apple''s shares.


    The stocks of three companies, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, were worth about US$5 million when they were purchased. As time went by, Luo An increased his investment when he had money. When he sold the stocks a few days ago, he sold a total of nearly US$11 million.


    ��Arms Dealer Salls Case��After several cases were concluded, he received some extra income, weekly wages, and normal bonuses after the case was solved.


    ?After a simple calculation, Luo An found that except for Wall Street, his total gains once again exceeded 30 million US dollars, reaching about 36.59 million US dollars before tax.


    As for tax issues, Luo An is not panic at all.


    The federal legal structure and tax policy determine that the federation is a country that cares for the rich. Those accountants have many ways to help Luan avoid taxes reasonably. Michael Bray knows many excellent accountants in this field.


    ��In terms of fixed assets, a small apartment in New York and a Chevrolet sedan;


    There is a big house in Boston, an orange sports car, a Dodge Hellcat;


    ?Washington, D.C. is also a villa, and a mediocre Porsche car that rarely drives..."


    ??Luo An simply calculated his real estate. The federal housing prices have fallen in the past two years, and the villa under his name will also be affected to some extent.


    ?However, as long as these two years pass, house prices will rise back and there will still be no loss in the long run.


    In the next few days, the special investigation team continued to deal with the follow-up of the [Balloon Case]. Miraculously, none of the book sellers and gang members who were captured knew about the counterfeit banknotes.

 Chapter 826： Start investigating

    Chapter 826 Start investigation


    ��No one knows?��


    Wednesday, 2:30 pm, Insomnia Building, Office Area of ??the Special Investigation Team.


    Looking at the interrogation record shown by Chenelle, Winslow and Michelle were very surprised. Lacey asked in disbelief:


    ��Don��t the gangsters in the underground casino know about the counterfeit money?��


    ��They know it and they don��t know it.��


    Chenier spread her hands and said helplessly:


    ��To put it simply, the person in charge of the casino knew the secret room, which was used to store and count money.


    ?But Giannido''s gang has strict management. The person in charge of the casino is only responsible for maintaining order. Money matters have always been taken care of by Giannido''s cronies.


    The person in charge only knew that the money was there, but had never touched it, let alone knew that the money was counterfeit. "


    ??Mona then asked:


    ��What about Giannido��s cronies? Do they know about the fake money?��


    ��It��s a pity that I didn��t have a chance to ask the other party.��


    ? Chenier found a photo of the action scene and showed it to everyone, explaining:


    ��These are the trusted men on earth who are in charge of money.��


    ������x4


    ??Looking at the cronies who died next to Giannido and were also blown up all over the floor by grenades, everyone in the office area was speechless.


    ��It doesn��t matter, these situations also provide us with some clues.��


    When the agents didn��t know what to say, Luo An opened the office door and walked in with documents, smiling:


    ��Since those reading dealers and gang members do not know about counterfeit banknotes, and only Giannido��s cronies have the ability to access them.


    That means the people selling these counterfeit banknotes are only connected to Giannido or his cronies. "


    Winslow and Lacey nodded slightly. Chenelle thought for a while and asked:


    ��Luo An, the person you just mentioned ��selling counterfeit banknotes��


    Are you suspicious of the person who sells counterfeit banknotes, not the person who makes them? "


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An nodded and smiled:


    ��In terms of counterfeit banknotes, the person who makes the counterfeit banknotes only needs to be responsible for the production, while the person who sells the counterfeit banknotes has many things to consider.��


    ������x5


    ?Luo An''s words made everyone present feel confused, but they didn''t know what to say.


    After a few seconds of silence, Lacey complained:


    ��Why do you feel that making counterfeit money is so easy in your mouth, Luo An?��


    ��Paper, watermark, ink, security thread, printing, portrait, number����


    ?Luo An smiled, distributed the documents in hand to everyone, and said:


    ��In the eyes of most people, counterfeiting money is really difficult, but in the eyes of other people, counterfeiting money may not be easy...��


    All the agents were too lazy to complain about Luo An''s words. They looked at the information in the folder, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became very surprised:


    ��Is there a big difference between the paper of counterfeit banknotes and the paper of real banknotes?��


    ��That��s right.��


    ?Luo An picked up the counterfeit twenty-dollar bill from the table and said with interest:


    "Several currency experts contacted by Chief Trick Kennedy, after careful inspection, are convinced that this batch of counterfeit banknotes totaling 500,000 US dollars, whether it is watermarks, inks, security threads, printing, portraits, etc., are very Superb.


    Three years ago, experts determined that the people who made the counterfeit bills discovered in California were most likely the same group as the makers of this batch of counterfeit bills.


    The techniques are very similar, but the technical level in other aspects has increased by more than ten times. "


    "Wow."


    After reading the summary report in the folder, Mona��s eyes flashed with surprise, she raised her head and said:


    ��In other words, these people have completely understood the production process and techniques of U.S. dollars. Are they replicating and making counterfeit banknotes?��


    "You can say that."


    ?Luo An shook the twenty dollars in his hand and said:


    ��Except that the serial numbers are not issued by the federal government, these counterfeit banknotes can basically be identified as genuine banknotes printed and issued by private individuals.��


    ��What a bunch of talent.��


    Looking at the twenty dollars, Winslow, Michelle and Chenelle��s faces were full of emotion. Lacey thought for a while and said:


    ��I have a hunch that if we catch this group of counterfeiting experts this time, they won��t go to jail at all.


    ?Or they only need to go to jail for a short period of time before being transferred and recruited by our FBI or other departments. " ? ? ? " We will talk about the future later. No one has been captured yet. "


    ??Mona rolled her eyes at Lacey, she put down the folder and looked at Luo An, and asked:


    ��Luo An, where do we start our investigation next?��


    ��We need to investigate this case separately.��


    Luo An was silent for a moment, rubbed his temples, and said:


    ��From the information at hand, it can be concluded that Giannido and his cronies have definitely had contact with the person who sold counterfeit banknotes.


    ?Mona, Lacey, you two work together and carefully investigate the interpersonal relationships, call records and other information of these two people during their lives. We have to find a way to find that guy.


    ?In addition, the group of counterfeit banknotes cannot possibly only make these five hundred thousand US dollars. They must have other counterfeit banknotes, which will most likely be sold to others.


    ?Chenelle, please investigate this situation and carefully check the situation in other states in the federation to see if there are any similar counterfeit banknotes on the market.


    ??If so, contact the local law enforcement department to take it back. We will then look at the situation and decide whether to go to the local area to investigate and see if we can find the original sender of the counterfeit banknotes. "


    ��OK.��


    "no problem."


    ?Mona, Lacey and Chenelle all nodded and accepted the order. Winslow raised his hand:


    ��Where are Michelle and I?��


    ��You may have a lot of work to do next.��


    ??Luo An walked into his team leader��s office, found another folder and handed it to Winslow and Michelle, introducing:


    ��The process of making counterfeit banknotes is very long and involves many details, the most important of which is paper.��


    Michelle took the folder and looked at it carefully. Her eyes suddenly widened and her face was full of astonishment:


    ��Is this the only paper mill in the federation capable of using cotton fiber and hemp to make paper?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Luo An explained:


    ��The paper that makes the twenty-dollar bill is made of cotton fiber and hemp.


    ?Your next job is to contact them to investigate the situation and see if anyone has tried to contact them in the past three years to purchase paper that can be used to make U.S. dollars. "


    Winslow looked at the thick list of more than ten pages of factories, twitched the corner of his mouth, and asked:


    ��Why can��t the group of counterfeit banknotes make their own paper?��


    ��The price of making paper is too high.��


    Roan patted Winslow on the shoulder and explained:


    ��The fundamental purpose of making counterfeit banknotes is to make money, so the cost must be low.


    ? It is better to make a $100 piece with a raw material price of $1 than to make a $100 piece with a raw material price of $50 or even higher.


    Among them, the most expensive one is papermaking, which is completely uneconomical in terms of economic cost. "


    The market price of counterfeit federal banknotes is about $100 in counterfeit bills, which can be sold for $30 in real bills.


    ??If the total price of raw materials for a counterfeit bill exceeds $30, you are almost losing money.


    ��OK.��


    ?Winslow nodded, took a few deep breaths, turned around and walked to the workstation with Michelle to start working.


    ?Mona, Lacey, and Chenelle also began to deal with the work they were responsible for. Roan pondered for a few seconds, took out his mobile phone and called Trick Kennedy:


    ��Good afternoon, sir, there is something else I need your help with regarding the counterfeit money case...��


    We were busy, and it was time to get off work quickly. After a brief tidying up, everyone laughed and drove away.


    Roan and Mona were not in a hurry to go home. They drove to a chain supermarket to buy some ingredients for dinner. While selecting the ingredients, a gunshot suddenly exploded not far from them!


    boom!


    ��Don��t eat the sour radish! Give me the money!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 827： robbery, route

    Chapter 827 Robbery, route


    Six o''clock in the evening, outside a supermarket chain in southern Washington, DC.


    boom!


    ��Don��t eat the sour radish! Give me the money!��


    ??Luo An and Mona were carrying dinner ingredients, talking and laughing as they walked to the car, when the sudden sound of gunfire startled them both.


    ?Passers on the street were even more frightened, screaming and running away.


    ??Luo An and Mona subconsciously took out their pistols. While checking the direction of the gunfire, they shouted to passers-by:


    ��Bend down and go this way quickly!��


    ?Seeing the FBI golden badges displayed by Luo An and Mona, most passers-by immediately ran in the opposite direction according to their guidance.


    ??While Luo An and Mona greeted passers-by, they quickly rushed to the location where the gunfire came from with pistols in hand.


    After running a few steps and turning a corner, I found that it was the street where the back entrance of the supermarket chain was located.


    ?At this time, a white young man with disheveled hair was running away on the street with a dagger in his hand and a look of panic on his face.


    Not far behind him, an elderly white man wearing an ordinary coat, with a big belly, gray hair and even glasses, pointed a revolver at the young white man and kept yelling:


    ��You **** bug! How dare you steal my money? Who gave you the courage!��


    boom!


    ������x2


    ??Mona��s face was filled with astonishment when she saw this scene. Luo An��s mouth twitched, but he quickly raised his pistol and shouted:


    ��FBI!��


    ??Seeing the figures of Luo An and Mona, the panic on the white young man''s face instantly escalated to panic. Even though the old white man not far behind him was still shooting, he still turned around and ran back quickly and resolutely.


    Luo An casually grabbed a skateboard that accidentally fell on the ground when a passerby ran away in panic, and threw it directly towards the white young man.


    �O


    With a muffled sound, the skateboard hit the white young man with great accuracy. The white young man suddenly stumbled forward and fell face first to the ground.


    ?At the same time, the old white man also saw Luo An and Mona and heard their shouts. He raised his hands without hesitation and shouted:


    ��You guys came just in time, I want to call the police, this cousin��s trash just robbed me of my money!��


    ������x2


    ?Originally I thought someone was robbing someone with a gun, but it turned out that the robbery did happen, and the person with the gun was the one being robbed.


    Not long after, two nearby patrol policemen arrived. The old white man whose revolver was taken away by Luo An was filled with indignation, pointing to the young white man whose hands were handcuffed and explained:


    ��Today is the day I collect my pension, and I planned to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.


    ??In the end, this kid actually jumped out with a dagger to rob me. I really don��t know what the heavens and the earth are����


    The patrolman was also speechless. Luo An looked at the revolver he had collected and asked casually:


    ��Do you have a permit to carry a gun in public?��


    ?Washington, D.C. is, after all, the political center of the federation, and some regulations are quite strict. Not every federal citizen is free to carry guns in public places.


    ??Mona also turned to look at the old white man. When the old white man heard this, he suddenly stooped a little, started tapping his thighs, rubbing his arms, and said to himself:


    ��I am getting older, my ears are a little deaf, and my body is not as good as before����


    ??Everyone present rolled their eyes, and Luo An handed the revolver to the patrolman. This kind of matter could be handled by the police department without the FBI''s intervention.


    ��Thank you very much, Team Leader Luo An.��


    ??The two patrol officers also knew Luo An. After a few brief greetings, Luo An and Mona turned around and left the scene, walking in the direction of their cars.


    ��What an unlucky guy.��


    ?Thinking of the extremely frustrated expression on the white young man''s face just now, Mona laughed while putting the ingredients into the trunk of the car:


    ��That guy is very unlucky.��


    ?Luo An closed the trunk, walked to the driver''s seat and said with a smile:


    ��If you think about it from another perspective, the old white man is quite lucky.�� ��That��s right.��


    ?The two were chatting and laughing, opened the door and got in the car, leaving the area and returning to the villa to rest. On average, more than a hundred people were killed by gunfire every day in the Federation, and street robberies were not considered major crimes.


    After a night''s rest, they resumed work the next day. Winslow and Michelle investigated paper mills across the federation; Mona and Lacey investigated the interpersonal relationships between Giannido and his cronies during their lifetime; Roan and Chenille investigated together within the federation. Have similar counterfeit bills appeared in other states?


    ??Luo An also contacted deputy team leader Paul. He used to travel between the black and white worlds and had a very wide network of contacts. Counterfeit banknotes may not be found in the above world, but the underground world always has information and methods unique to them.


    Investigation work is always the most time-consuming. Everyone in the special investigation team only felt busy for a short while, and the time came to noon. After making phone calls to order meals, everyone did not take a break during the waiting period, and continued to sit in their respective positions to investigate clues. .


    Luo An brewed a few cups of coffee, handed them to everyone one by one, and asked casually:


    ��Mona, how are you doing here?��


    "not so good."


    ?Mona frowned and replied:


    ��Jiannido is very cautious. I am investigating the disposable mobile phone he used and I should get some clues.��


    ��Good.��


    Roan nodded slightly. He put down the coffee and didn''t ask too much about Winslow and Michelle. The two of them had been on the phone this morning. It didn''t take much to know that they didn''t get any clues.


    ?Looking up at the time, it would take a while for lunch to be delivered, so Luo An sat back at his work station, ready to continue investigating.


    At this moment, Cheniel suddenly clapped her hands and said with a smile:


    ��Luo An, I found a clue here!��


    ��What clue?��


    ??Luo An quickly moved his chair and came to Chenier''s side. Chenier showed the computer screen to Luo An and explained seriously:


    ��Luo An, your previous judgment was correct. This counterfeit banknote has indeed appeared on the market, and it took a long time.��


    In Chenier��s computer, there was a map of several states on the east coast of the Federation. There were some red dots on the map. Seeing this, Luo An frowned slightly and asked:


    ��These are the locations where counterfeit money has been found, right?��


    ��That��s right.��


    Chenelle nodded heavily and introduced:


    ��I contacted the state police and FBI branches, and the locations of these red dots are areas where super counterfeit bills have appeared.


    ?This kind of super counterfeit money appears only rarely, and it is almost invisible to the naked eye, so the police and FBI in these red dot areas do not have many clues.


    But wait until I mark all these locations in red..."


    Speaking of this, Chenier tapped the keyboard a few times to zoom in on the map, and a line connected by red dots suddenly appeared on the screen.


    ??The southernmost point of the red dot is Atlanta, Georgia, in the southeastern part of the federation.


    ?Then the red dot went all the way north, passing through South Carolina - North Carolina - Virginia, and finally arrived in Washington, DC.


    ��Obviously, this is the route.��


    Chenelle put her head in her hands and analyzed carefully:


    ��The problem is, we don��t know who is walking this route; we don��t know why they are coming from Atlanta to Washington, D.C.��


    ?Judging solely from the purpose of selling counterfeit money, Atlanta, which has the highest crime rate in the entire federation and has barely fallen out of the top ten in terms of danger, is definitely more suitable than Washington, DC.


    Atlanta is full of talented people and its convenient transportation is not only an ideal place for transferring reading materials, but also suitable for making and selling counterfeit banknotes and selling bulk goods there.


    Chenelle frowned in thought, not understanding the logic of the route travelers. Luoan was silent for a while, and just as he was about to speak, Lacey who was not far away suddenly said loudly:


    ��Luo An, I discovered something new here!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 828： Another wave of counterfeit money

    Chapter 828 Another wave of counterfeit banknotes


    ??Lacie''s tone was very exciting. Roan and Chenelle looked at each other and immediately moved their chairs next to her:


    ��What��s new?��


    ��It��s counterfeit money from Washington, D.C.��


    ??Like Chenelle, Lacey showed the computer screen to Luo An and explained seriously:


    ��I first worked with Mona to investigate the interpersonal relationships between Giannido and his cronies. Mona found some information, but I found almost nothing.


    ?So I changed my mind. Giannido��s ultimate goal in buying those counterfeit banknotes must be to spend them.


    We found half a million US dollars in the secret room. In addition to this half a million US dollars, might Giannido have also sent counterfeit bills to other underground casinos, bars and other places owned by the Giannido gang. "


    ��You mean, Giannido bought more than half a million dollars in counterfeit money?��


    Chenelle frowned slightly, understanding what Lacey meant, but then she remembered something and said:


    ��But when the Giannido gang was destroyed, not a single counterfeit money was found in the Trace Inspection Section or in other gang locations... Lacey, do you suspect that the Trace Inspection Section missed something?��


    ��No.��


    Lacie shook her head, with a proud smile on her face, and then explained:


    ��I believe there is no problem with the Trace Inspection Department.


    Since there is no problem in the trace examination department, it means that Giannido only bought half a million US dollars in counterfeit banknotes. Before he could spend it, the gang itself was destroyed by our team. "


    Cheniel frowned even more tightly:


    ��Lacie, what exactly do you want to say?��


    Without waiting for Lacey��s reply, Luo An accepted her analysis and explained with a smile:


    ��Lacey wanted to say that since Giannido��s gang only bought half a million dollars in counterfeit bills and didn��t have time to spend them, there should be no other counterfeit bills on the market in Washington, DC.


    If other counterfeit banknotes appear on the market, there are two possibilities:


    ?Either the person who sold the counterfeit money used the counterfeit money himself; or the person who sold the counterfeit money sold the counterfeit money in his hand to someone other than Giannido. "


    Snapped-


    Lacie snapped her fingers, looked at Chenelle with a smile, and said:


    ��Sure enough, Luo An and I are the smartest people in the special investigation team.��


    ? Chenier rolled her eyes, too lazy to respond to the conversation, and asked directly:


    ��So, Lacey, have you discovered other counterfeit bills on the market?��


    ��You guessed it right!��


    ??Lacie nodded, turned around and found two pieces of paper among the messy folders on her desk, handed them to Roan and Chenelle, and said:


    ��I contacted the Washington, D.C., police department and asked if they had received any reports related to counterfeit money in the past two years.��


    ?Chenelle looked at the information on the paper carefully. Records showed that in the past two years, Washington, D.C., had received hundreds of calls related to counterfeit banknotes.


    ?Most of the counterfeit banknotes found by the police when they went to the scene had a relatively low level of counterfeiting, and some of them could tell something was wrong at a glance.


    ?Until a few days ago, the police department received a call from a store, stating that they had received a high-grade counterfeit banknote that was basically invisible to the naked eye and could only be detected by a banknote detector.


    ��The time when this counterfeit banknote appeared����


    Seeing the alarm time on the paper, Cheniel was stunned for a moment:


    ��The day before we busted the Giannido gang?��


    ?Luo An looked at the relevant information in the paper and narrowed his eyes slightly:


    ��This time the amount was very small, just 20 US dollars... In other words, the person who used this counterfeit bill either received it from the person who sold the counterfeit bill without knowing it at all.


    ?Either this guy is actually the person selling counterfeit banknotes! "


    Chenelle��s eyes lit up instantly. Winslow, Michelle and Mona, who had been listening quietly next to her, also looked excited. Roan immediately asked:


    ��Lacey, who is the guy who used this counterfeit $20 bill? Have you found out?��


    "not yet."


    Lacie spread her hands and shook her head, indicating that she had just found out what she had found.


    ??Luo An didn''t care either. He turned to look at Mona. Mona understood what he meant before he could speak and immediately turned around and started typing on the keyboard.


    ??Mona��s fingers flew like snakes on the keyboard, and soon the lunch purchased over the phone was delivered to the office. When Winslow distributed the food to everyone, Mona suddenly stopped and said loudly:


    "Everyone, I found that guy on the surveillance camera!" "Very good."


    ? Luo An brought a box of meat and vegetable food to Mona and said with a smile:


    ��Let��s eat first, and once we��ve filled our stomachs, we��ll summarize this guy��s name, address, and other information, and let��s go have a chat with him.��


    ��OK!��


    ?At 1:30 that afternoon, Luo An and Chenier led several SWAT team members to find the suspect named Octavia that Mona had found.


    ?After a brief inquiry, Octavius ??told everything he knew. He was not a seller of counterfeit banknotes. The counterfeit U.S. dollar was just a piece of money he received by mistake from someone else when he was buying something.


    ??Luo An was sure that the other party was telling the truth, so he led Cheniel and others to the supermarket that Octaviy mentioned.


    The supermarket owner had no idea about this. He rarely sent the change one by one to the currency detector for inspection. When there were many people and busy times, he would directly exchange the change from the previous customer to the next customer. He Banknotes here are very liquid.


    Luo An was not surprised by this, so he asked the supermarket owner to take out all the surveillance cameras of the recent period and bring them back to the special investigation team for closer inspection.


    Fortunately, when Octavian went shopping, there was not a lot of traffic in the supermarket, and Luo An and the others quickly found the person who gave the counterfeit money to the supermarket owner.


    Luo An and Mona frowned when they saw each other''s faces clearly. It was the white young man who attempted robbery last night and was killed by the old man with a gun.


    ��Good evening, we meet again.��


    At 6:30 pm, in the interrogation room of a police station in Washington, D.C., Luo An and Mona sat side by side. The white young man sat opposite them, with helplessness written on his face:


    ��Mr. Agent, isn��t it just a robbery? Besides, I haven��t succeeded yet. As for the FBI, are you looking for me?��


    "The reason why we are looking for you this time has nothing to do with your failed robbery yesterday."


    ?Luo An opened Mona��s laptop and smiled lightly:


    ��Martin Torres, 29 years old, unemployed, went to prison for smoking and selling flour, and was just released from prison two years ago����


    ?After briefly reading Martin��s identity information, Luo An smiled and said:


    ��Why, after learning new techniques in prison, Martin Qi stopped selling flour this time and sold counterfeit banknotes instead?��


    ��Me? Selling counterfeit banknotes?��


    ?Martin''s eyes widened in disbelief, and Luo An didn''t explain much and directly showed him the supermarket surveillance video.


    ��NO, NO, NO����


    After watching the surveillance video, Martin��s eyelids jumped, he waved his hands and shook his head:


    "I have never sold counterfeit banknotes. Don''t accuse me wrongly. I have nothing to do with this kind of thing."


    ??Mona narrowed her eyes slightly, Luo An still had a smile on his face, and then asked:


    ��Then where did you get this counterfeit money?��


    "how could I know?"


    Martin spread his hands, widened his eyes, and the expression on his face was full of innocence:


    ��Everything costs money these days, who would bother to remember which banknote came from where.��


    ?Luo An nodded slightly:


    ��That makes sense.��


    ��It is.��


    ?Martin was slightly relieved, and just as he was about to continue saying something, Luo An turned to Mona and said:


    ��Go and complete the formalities, and we��ll take this guy to FBI headquarters.��


    Martin: ��?!��

 Chapter 829： The story of unlucky Martin

    Chapter 829 The story of the unlucky Martin


    Hearing Luo An��s words, Mona didn��t hesitate at all. She stood up and prepared to walk out. Martin��s face changed drastically and he quickly greeted:


    ��Wait! You can��t take me to FBI headquarters and put the blame on me!


    I said, I really don��t know what happened to that counterfeit bill! "


    Martin shouted loudly, and his tone was even more emotional, making people feel as if he had really been framed.


    ??Mona... didn''t even look at this, and walked out of the interrogation room without looking back.


    Martin became even more anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly said to Luo An:


    ��Mr. Agent, I really don��t know����


    ��Don��t panic, Martin.��


    ?Luo An closed Mona��s laptop and said with a smile:


    ��My name is Roan Greenwood, and I am an ordinary leader of the special investigation team. Regarding this case����


    ?Having just finished speaking, Martin suddenly exclaimed with surprise on his face:


    ��Are you Roan Greenwood?��


    ?Luo An was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face became more kind:


    ��Have you heard my story?��


    ?There was a slight problem with this sentence, but Martin didn''t catch it.


    ??After he confirmed that the guy with an ordinary and handsome face in front of him was Team Leader Roan Greenwood himself, his face suddenly turned red and white, and large beads of sweat slowly appeared on his forehead.


    Not long after, Mona returned to the interrogation room with a document. When Martin saw this, he let out a long breath and sat slumped in the chair. His voice was much lower than before:


    ��I said, I said, I do know about the counterfeit banknote.��


    ??A flash of surprise flashed in Mona''s eyes. She didn''t really apply for anything just now. In fact, she had been standing at the door waiting. Luo An''s words were just the interrogation techniques agreed in advance.


    ?While waiting at the door, Mona heard the conversation in the room and knew that Luo An didn''t say much. Martin just heard Luo An''s name and chose to confess everything.


    ??Mona was quite shocked by this. She looked at Luo An with surprise. Did Luo An only need a name to make the criminal speak?


    ??Martin is actually very helpless about this. He has been in the underground world for so long and has already heard from some people about the reputation of the special investigation team led by Luo An and its astonishing 100% case detection rate.


    The name Roan Greenwood is actually more famous in some areas in the underground world than in the above-ground world outside.


    Martin has a very clear understanding of himself. He is just a little poisonous insect who is not worthy of carrying shoes for underground arms dealers, well-known killers, well-known mercenaries, etc.


    ?Those people have fallen into the hands of Luo An. Martin is not arrogant enough to think that he is stronger than them. Instead of struggling to resist, it is better to lie down and appoint him.


    Maybe if I had a better attitude and coordinated movements, I would feel more comfortable later on.


    ?Thinking of this, Martin Torres''s eyes lit up, he straightened his back and said with a serious face:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, I do know something about those counterfeit banknotes.


    Actually, they were actually obtained from a scammer when I was selling flour some time ago.


    I have lost everything, so I will rob the old man later. "


    Martin-Torres said that one day not long ago, an acquaintance with an unfamiliar face came to his door to buy white flour and was willing to pay Martin an introduction fee.


    ??After careful and careful investigation several times, and after confirming that the identity of the unfamiliar face was correct, Martin sold him a sum of flour for the sake of the acquaintance.


    After waiting for a while and confirming that there was no problem, Martin sold the other party flour again and made a lot of money.


    ?Later, Martin took the money and went to the flour shipper further back. He was severely beaten because the shipper passed the banknote detector and found that the banknotes were counterfeit.


    ?Martin did not expect that the atmosphere outside would become so dark, and he was devoid of any courtesy. He immediately cursed and went to an acquaintance''s house with a weapon in hand to demand an explanation.


    As a result, acquaintances disappeared, and the address given by the strange face was empty. Martin lost his flour and lost all face. His intelligence was even questioned by others, and he became the laughing stock of some people in the underground world.


    ?Soon, Martin��s previous savings were gone. In desperation, he decided to develop across industries and make some money through robbery.


    Martin, who has been smoking flour for a long time, is thin and has a low success rate in robbing adult men. He is afraid that the other party will carry anti-wolf spray, so he finally targets the elderly.


    It is best for those elderly people with pensions who are rich and easy to grab. Unexpectedly, the old white man took out all the money under the threat of a dagger. Just as he was about to leave, the old man took out a revolver from his pants and shot...


    After finishing the narration, Martin looked up at the ceiling with tears in his eyes.


    ??The outside world is too dark, and there is no trust between people at all. The big, simple family in prison is more suitable for me.


    ������x2


    ??Mona''s eyelids were twitching, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind but she didn''t know what to say. Luo An''s mouth twitched, and he was silent for a few seconds to suppress the complaints in his heart, and asked:


    ��That strange face you mentioned, did he say his name?��


    ��He said his name was Little John.��


    Martin spread his hands and said disdainfully:


    ��Obviously a fake name.��


    ?Luo An didn��t care, and then asked:


    ��If I call a painter over now, can you describe that guy��s face and make us a mock-up portrait?��


    ��Yes! Absolutely!��


    Martin Torres nodded heavily and said through gritted teeth:


    ��I will never forget that guy��s appearance in my life.��


    ��OK.��


    ??Luo An nodded with satisfaction, then asked some details to make sure there were no omissions. Luo An called the Trace Inspection Department to ask for help from the painter, and then returned to the special investigation team with Mona.


    ��So, according to what this unlucky guy Martin Torres said, plus the clues we have found so far����


    In the office area, Lacey crossed her fingers and concluded:


    ��The counterfeit money seller first went north from Atlanta, passed through several states, and finally arrived in Washington, DC.


    ?In Washington, D.C., a counterfeit banknote seller first used a batch of counterfeit banknotes to buy a sum of flour from Martin. After success, he hid his identity and disappeared.


    ??Then he contacted the gang leader Giannido and sold half a million dollars in counterfeit bills... Why did he always feel like something was not right? "


    ��There��s something really wrong.��


    Chenelle picked up the coffee and took a sip, frowning and said:


    ��Since the other party��s purpose is to sell counterfeit banknotes, there is no need to use counterfeit banknotes to buy flour. This will only increase the chance of their identity being exposed, and the benefits are not proportional to the risks.��


    ��Is there a possibility.��


    Winslow thought for a while and guessed:


    ��There is more than one counterfeit banknote seller, and one of them has the habit of snorting flour.


    Instead of spending the real money earned to buy flour, it is better to use counterfeit money, a guy like Martin with average eyesight. "


    "Um��"


    ??Several agents were silent, and Winslow''s analysis made sense to a certain extent.


    Looking at the straight lines formed by the red dots in Chenier''s computer, Luoan crossed his arms across his chest and said:


    ��Look at this, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, these are places where counterfeit money appears on a very small scale.


    Only Washington, D.C., in the north, and Atlanta, Georgia, in the south, have the largest number of counterfeit bills. "


    ��Do you suspect that these two places are the production base and sales venue of the counterfeit banknote team?��


    ��No.��


    ?? Luo An shook his head and was about to explain when a sound suddenly rang from the computer nearby. Mona''s eyes lit up and she was so excited:


    ��The simulation portrait is made!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 830： Stone processing plant

    Chapter 830 Stone Processing Factory


    At nine o''clock in the evening, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    ��The simulation portrait is made!��


    ?Mona��s extremely excited words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.


    ?A few people quickly moved to Mona''s computer, paying full attention to Mona''s typing on the keyboard to retrieve information.


    The person in the simulated portrait is a male, with high cheekbones and deep eye sockets. He has very obvious Caucasian features. He looks quite young, probably between thirty and forty.


    ��I found it out.��


    Within a few minutes, Mona retrieved the other party��s identity information and introduced it loudly:


    ��Campbell-Hank, 37 years old, unemployed. He was imprisoned for smoking and selling flour when he was young. He is currently renting a house in New York.��


    ��Good.��


    Chenelle and Lacey suddenly smiled. Winslow hammered his hands and was eager to try. Roan patted Mona on the shoulder and asked:


    ��Is this guy in New York right now?��


    "Let me check."


    ??Mona typed on the keyboard again to investigate the other party''s situation. Roan waved his hand and motioned Winslow, Chenelle, and Lacey to pack their equipment first, and they would set off after confirming the other party''s whereabouts.


    Winslow and the other three quickly turned around and left the office area. When Luo An was about to go back to the team leader''s office to get something, Mona''s face suddenly changed slightly. She turned around and reached out to grab Luo An, saying in a deep voice:


    ��Roan, an hour ago, surveillance video on a highway in upstate New York captured Campbell-Hank driving out of New York.


    ?In his car, there was another man in the passenger seat, but his face was obscured, so I couldn��t investigate his identity.


    In addition, less than twenty minutes after Campbell-Hank and the man drove out of New York, two cars quickly chased them along their route. I feel that this group of people may not have much good intentions. "


    ��I tried looking up the guys who were following Campbell.��


    As soon as Mona finished speaking, Michelle, who had been assisting next to her, added:


    ��The two cars they drove were both in a parking lot in New York. They were cars that had not been driven for a long time and were most likely stolen by picking the locks.


    There were eight people in total, their faces were intentionally obscured, so I couldn��t find out their identities. "


    ��It seems they are well prepared.��


    Roan nodded and signaled Mona and Michelle to continue tracking Campbell. Winslow and the other three quickly finished sorting out the situation. Roan took the weapon and wrapped it around his waist. He quickly went downstairs and took out his cell phone to call the SWAT team. Called:


    Hello, this is the Special Investigation Team, I am Roan Greenwood..."


    After briefly explaining the situation to the New York branch''s SWAT team, Winslow, Chenille, Roan, and Lacey drove to the airport, boarded a helicopter at an FBI-affiliated airport in northern Washington, D.C., and sped toward New York. direction.


    ?At ten o''clock in the evening, the four of Luo An successfully reunited with a SWAT team on a highway in northern New York. Under the guidance of Mona, they quickly drove to track Campbell and others.


    ??North of New York City, Catskill City, New York State. As soon as Luo An and his party arrived here, Mona''s voice rang through the communicator:


    ��Roan, just five minutes ago, the Catskill City police received a call. The caller said that a fierce gun battle occurred in the west part of the city.


    There are not many surveillance equipment in that area, so I can''t find out the specific situation, but judging from the route of Campbell and others, there is a high probability that the two parties in the gunfight are them and that group of mysterious people! "


    ��OK, let��s go there.��


    Turning off the contact device, Luo An immediately turned the steering wheel and drove in the direction mentioned by the caller.


    ?The group of people quickly arrived at the location where the gunfight occurred. It was a stone processing factory where people were working during the day and empty except for security guards at night.


    ?At this time, at the entrance of the processing plant, a police car with flashing red and blue lights parked on the roadside. One patrolman was on guard with a gun, and another patrolman was giving emergency treatment to the wounds of a middle-aged man lying on the ground.


    Judging from the clothes on the middle-aged man��s body, he should be a security guard at this stone processing factory.


    ��Who are you?�� ��FBI!��


    ?Taking out the FBI gold badge and throwing it to the nervous patrol officer, Luo An patted Lacey on the shoulder and motioned for her to get a medical kit to help treat the wounds of some security personnel, and then asked:


    ��How is the situation in the factory now?��


    ��Sorry, I��m not sure.��


    ??The police patrolman returned the golden badge to Luo An. He breathed a sigh of relief and said that he and his colleagues had just arrived here.


    Before the security personnel passed out, they said there were many enemies. In addition, the Catskill City Police Center said there were three vehicles on both sides of the gunfight. The two patrol officers decisively chose to "encircle but not attack". After the gunfight inside, they went to check the situation.


    ??Luo An was not surprised by this. The federal police were employed, and their monthly salary was only a small amount. There was no need to fight the enemy desperately.


    Without expressing any opinion on the actions of the two patrol officers, a brief inquiry confirmed that Campbell and others had just entered the factory and had not yet left. Luo An waved his hand and led Winslow and the heavily armed SWAT team to start the infiltration operation.


    ?Following the ruts on the ground, a group of people quietly marched towards a certain factory building in the west, bypassing a large pile of stones, and a Buick and two Fords immediately appeared in front of everyone.


    boom!


    Suddenly, a short gunshot sounded inside the factory. Luo An''s eyes moved slightly, and he raised his hand to make a silent gesture. Winslow nodded, understanding. The two began to lead several SWAT members each to surround the factory from two directions. Forward.


    ? Luo An, Chenier and the four SWAT team members set off from the right side. The road went very smoothly without making a sound, and they soon arrived at the factory gate.


    boom! boom! boom!


    ?Bang bang bang��


    Just as Luo An was about to lead people into the factory, fierce gunfire suddenly erupted from the other side of the factory, and Winslow''s shout rang out from the communicator in his ear:


    ��We found the enemy successfully! The enemy also found us! There are eight people on the enemy side and they have a lot of firepower!��


    Luo An immediately gave up his original plan, kicked open the factory door and rushed in, while ordering:


    ��Surrounded on both sides, be careful!��


    "clear!"


    Chenier and several SWAT team members followed closely. Luo An led them quickly around some mechanical equipment and stones. Chenier jumped over a stone and was about to continue moving forward when Luo An suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm. Pulled her to the ground.


    Boom!


    The next second, a grenade flew out from a short distance, instantly blowing the stone where Chenier was originally advancing into pieces.


    ��Shit!��


    Chenier''s face was very ugly when she saw this, and she looked at Luo An with grateful eyes. Luo An waved his hands without saying much, reached out and took out two grenades from Chenier''s waist and threw them to another location not far ahead. passed.


    ��Fu-k! Get out of here!��


    ��Don��t eat the sour radish! How did this guy know we were here?!��


    Behind a certain mechanical equipment, the expressions of two white men in sportswear changed drastically. They cursed and quickly turned over and rolled away from the place.


    Boom! boom!


    ?Two grenades exploded, and one of the white men, who was a little slower, was injured in the calf and fell to the ground.


    ??The white man''s face was full of anger. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly saw two more grenades flying over from the corner of his eye.


    ��Mother-Fu����


    Boom! boom!


    ??A deafening explosion sounded, and in an instant, only one of the two white men was left. The surviving guy quickly retreated with shock on his face.


    "enough!"


    ?Just as Luo An was about to continue throwing grenades, an angry shout suddenly sounded in the factory:


    ��Stop it! Otherwise I will kill this guy!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 831： The target person is dead, gold coins

    Chapter 831 The target person is dead, gold coins


    The sudden shouting caused the sound of fighting in the factory to slowly stop.


    Seeing that Winslow, Luo An and others stopped shooting, several men in sportswear quickly moved back and gathered together, raising their guns to guard against the surroundings.


    Seeing that there was one less person in the group, the white man at the head suddenly frowned and asked in a low voice:


    ��Karl, what��s going on? Where��s Evans?��


    ��He...was killed by a grenade.��


    ??The guy named Karl swallowed, with an incredible expression on his face, and explained:


    "There is someone there who seems to have clairvoyant eyes. No matter where we are hiding, he can find and throw grenades. Evans was a step slower, so..."


    Hearing this, the leading white man immediately gave Karl a sharp look:


    "How can there be clairvoyance in this world? You guys are too slow!"


    ��No, Klaus, I really didn��t lie...��


    ??Karl was eager to explain. As soon as he started speaking, Luo An''s voice rang out not far away:


    "Those inside, you have been surrounded. Everyone wants to have a good rest at night. How about you cooperate and put down the gun and walk out? I promise to prepare a comfortable room for you to rest!"


    After Luo An finished speaking, Klaus, the leader, slapped Karl and pushed Karl behind him. He didn''t bother to discuss the truth or lies with him. He directly picked up a white young man, hid behind him and shouted loudly:


    ��You just said that you are the FBI. Since you are the FBI, your target should be him.


    ??Now that this guy is in my hands, there is no need to say anything more. You can either let me go or watch me shoot him to death and the mission will fail.


    Two choices, giving you a thirty-second countdown to consider. "


    ?Luo An immediately shouted:


    "Wait a moment!"


    Klaus snorted coldly:


    "No wait! Stop talking about negotiating for surrender, you guys still have twenty-five seconds!"


    ��No, I just want to ask a question!��


    Luo An shook his head and asked loudly:


    ��Who is this guy in your hand?��


    ����


    As soon as the words fell, the inside of the factory fell silent. Klaus''s eyelids twitched, and he reacted coldly:


    ��Don��t waste time in this way, it��s useless! You still have twenty seconds to think about it!��


    ��I��m not stalling with you.��


    ??Looking at Klaus who was hiding firmly behind the white youth and lowering his head to avoid their aim, Luo An''s eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. His expression remained unchanged on the surface, and he spread his hands and said:


    ��The target we want to arrest on this trip is named Campbell-Hank, who is 37 years old this year.


    ??The guy you pointed the gun at looks to be less than 35 years old, and his face is different from Campbell... So who is this guy? Where is Campbell-Hank? "


    Hearing Luo An��s serious explanation, Klaus�� lips twitched and fell silent, and the men in sportswear behind him had strange expressions on their faces.


    At this moment, Lacey, who was not far away, suddenly shouted:


    ��Team leader, I found the body of the target person, Campbell-Hank!��


    Winslow quickly walked over to check the situation, carefully checked for a few seconds, stood up and said seriously:


    ��The forehead and heart were both pierced by bullets. The body was warm and he had just died.��


    Winslow��s voice was neither too loud nor too soft. Luo An frowned and asked in a serious voice:


    ��You shot Campbell-Hank before we got here?��


    ?The air was silent. Karl and several teammates looked at each other, and they all saw the complicated and weird expressions on each other''s faces.


    ?The target of their trip was not Campbell-Hank, so they had just managed to catch the two of them in the factory. After a few questions, Klaus shot and killed him.


    ??As a result, Luo An actually said that their FBI target was actually Campbell-Hank. This is really...


    ��That��s a boring lie, Mr. Agent.��


    ??While Karl and the others were thinking wildly, Klaus at the front snorted and said:


    ��I know that your target is actually this guy in my hand, that Campbell, it��s just a lie you told to delay negotiations with me.


    I don��t want to say what I said before again. I only give you twenty seconds to think about it! "


    "I''m not lying, why don''t you trust others at all." Luo An spread his hands, and Klaus sneered, saying that he would never be fooled by Luo An.


    ��Okay, last question.��


    ??When Klaus counted down the number to ten, Roan silently put his right hand behind his back, gave Winslow and Lacey a look around him, and then asked loudly:


    ��He was the one you kidnapped, why should we let you go?��


    ��?��xN


    Hearing this, Carl and the others looked at each other in confusion. The SWAT team members around them had questions on their faces. Klaus, who was hiding behind the white young man, widened his eyes in surprise.


    boom!


    boom! boom!


    The next second, Luo An teleported to the other side like a ghost, firing three shots without hesitation.


    ?One bullet accurately hit Klaus'' gun-holding hand, and the other two bullets hit Klaus''s thigh more accurately. Klaus screamed and fell backwards without reacting at all.


    The moment the gunfire rang out, Winslow and Lacey, who got the hint, immediately raised their guns and flew out, jumped to the side of Carl and others, and shouted sharply:


    "do not move!"


    "Raise your hand!"


    ��Put down your weapons! Put down your weapons!��


    The SWAT team members behind the two men only reacted when they heard the shouting. They rushed into the scene, raised their black guns, and surrounded Carl and others.


    Being surrounded by a group of people, the Carls had to put down their weapons and lay on the ground with their hands on their heads, allowing Winslow and others to take out handcuffs and cuff them.


    ??On the ground at the front, Klaus had a ferocious face, his chest was rising and falling violently, and he stared at Luo An and cursed:


    ��You **** FBI, you really don��t have a word of truth in your mouth! Sonof is better than eating����


    ��I am indeed telling the truth.��


    Luo An put away his pistol and waved his hand to the SWAT team members to pull him away. Several SWAT team members not far away looked at Luo An with shock. One of the team members reacted and grabbed his teammate''s arm excitedly. , whispered:


    ��The rumors in the action team are indeed correct. Captain Luo An is more powerful than the new Captain Danny who emerged in New York! At least he is several times better than that guy in terms of marksmanship!��


    ��You��re right!��


    Several SWAT team members hurried forward to handcuff Klaus and **** him away while discussing in low voices with excitement. Luo An didn''t pay attention to this. He walked up to the white young man, stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground, and asked road:


    "what your name?"


    ?When he was held hostage by Klaus, this young white man looked calm and showed no signs of panic or fear, which was quite impressive.


    ??The white young man looked at Luo An blankly, without saying a word. Luo An frowned slightly and was about to ask again. Suddenly the young man''s face changed drastically, his eyes turned white and he fainted.


    ?)


    ����


    ��His name is Anatoly, he is 29 years old and has no criminal record.��


    The next day, in the office area of ??the special investigation team, Mona looked at the information on the computer and introduced it seriously:


    ��Medical records show that Anatoli was subjected to severe domestic violence as a child. He easily became stiff and overwhelmed when encountering dangerous situations. He also fainted and fainted when he saw blood.��


    "��Understood."


    ??Luo An rubbed his temples with a speechless face. At this moment, Winslow suddenly opened the door and walked into the office area and said:


    ��Roan, Campbell has a very secret safe. In addition to counterfeit banknotes, there are also some strange-looking ancient gold coins in it!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 832： Anatoles story

    Chapter 832 Anatoly��s Story


    At 10:30 am, the office area of ??the special investigation team.


    ��The location of the safe is not generally hidden.��


    In the conference room, the agents were sitting on chairs. Winslow distributed a dozen photos to everyone, and introduced with a pained expression:


    ��There is a bathroom on the first floor of Campbell-Hank��s house.


    Campbell remodeled the structure beneath the toilet, where the safe is hidden. "


    ������x5


    ?Hearing Winslow''s words and seeing the scene in the photo, Chenelle and Mona looked strange, as if they could smell the smell of the scene through the photo.


    "Thanks a lot."


    ??Luo An��s eyelids twitched, he simply praised Winslow a few words, then shook the photo and asked:


    ��What happened to the ancient gold coins you mentioned before?��


    ��It��s these gold coins.��


    ?Winslow turned around and took out several transparent evidence bags from the cardboard box nearby.


    In the evidence bag, there were some gold coins that were dim in color, engraved with some simple patterns on the surface, and were about the size of ordinary watch dials.


    "Wow."


    ?Everyone took the gold coins with surprised expressions on their faces. There are few people who don''t like gold. This simple gold coin is more eye-catching.


    Winslow took the photos back one by one and said:


    ��A total of 9 gold coins have been found. The Trace Inspection Section is investigating the origin of these gold coins based on the patterns on the gold coins.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An nodded, put aside the gold coin issue for the time being, and then asked:


    ��How is the situation with counterfeit banknotes?��


    ��Counterfeit bills with a face value of twenty dollars and a total of three hundred thousand dollars were also found.��


    Winslow replied:


    ��After identification by the Trace Inspection Section and several currency experts, it was determined that these counterfeit banknotes belong to the same batch as the super counterfeit banknotes we discovered before.��


    "very good."


    ??Luo An then looked at Cheniel and asked:


    ��How is Anatole doing now?��


    ��The doctors at the headquarters have treated Anatoly��s wounds, and his mental state has stabilized a lot with the help of the psychiatrist.��


    ?Chenier quickly put down her gold coins and replied seriously:


    ��He is now in a temporary prison and can be interrogated at any time.��


    ��Then take him to the interrogation room.��


    ?Luo An stood up and ordered:


    ��And the pursuers who were caught yesterday, please prepare yourself. We also need to talk to them.��


    "no problem!"


    Chenelle reached out and patted Lacey on the shoulder, and the two of them left the conference room and headed to the prison.


    ? Half an hour later, in the interrogation room on the far left, Anatoly��s hands were cuffed, and he was sitting on a chair with a nervous look on his face, unconsciously rubbing his fingers.


    ��Good morning, Mr. Anatoly.��


    Across the interrogation table, when Mona turned on the computer and got ready, Luo An pushed a folder in front of Anatoly and said in a solemn voice:


    ��Is there anything you want to say?��


    Anatoli was even more panicked when he saw the photos of counterfeit banknotes and ancient gold coins in the folder. After a few seconds of silence, he lowered his head as if resigned to his fate and said:


    ��I��m sorry, I didn��t expect things to turn out like this.��


    ? Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, handed a cup of coffee to Anatoly, and said softly:


    ��Elaborate.��


    Anatoly took a sip of coffee and said:


    ��I picked up the fake money, and my colleagues and I found the gold coins at the bottom of the sea.��


    Anatoly said that he was a crew member of a treasure hunting ship. The treasure hunting ship was not big, and there were exactly ten people including him. Not long ago, after their treasure hunting ship drifted in a certain area of ????the Carolinas for more than a month, they successfully found a sunken ship on the seabed and salvaged a small amount of gold bars, silver coins and other items from it.


    ?Limited by technical problems such as the vessel being too small and insufficiently equipped, everyone on the treasure hunting boat was so excited that they immediately decided to return to the shore and prepare to change to a larger boat.


    ��Not long after we left the ocean and returned to the surface, the news that we found gold leaked out for some reason, and then we were targeted.��


    Anatole lowered his head, fear flashed in his eyes, and continued:


    ��That night, a group of people rushed into the house we rented... Bob and Oban were all dead, and only me and two other people escaped..."


    Because of some mental problems, Anatoly stumbled or stuttered here and there, causing great difficulties for Mona, who was responsible for recording.


    Fortunately, Luo An confirmed that the other party was not lying through "emotional perception". Seeing that the other party''s mental state was getting worse, Luo An quickly stepped forward to change the topic and comforted the other party in a low voice.


    A few minutes later, Anatoly''s mood stabilized a little. Roan poured him a cup of coffee again, and then asked in a low voice:


    ��What happened after that? Where did the three of you go after you escaped from the rented house?��


    ��I don��t know, I��ve been following Leon...��


    Anatoly stuttered and said that he was frightened at the time and didn''t know what to do.


    Fortunately, his colleagues Leon and Benson did not abandon him. They threw a backpack containing gold coins to Anatoly and asked him to keep it. The two began to shoot back.


    ?However, there were too many enemies, and Leon and Benson quickly decided to retreat. The three of them "find" a car and started to escape.


    ��That group of people kept following us, and Leon couldn��t get rid of them at all.��


    Anatoly trembled and explained:


    ��Then Leon and Benson had an argument. I didn��t hear the specific content clearly, but I just felt that they were very excited.


    ?Then Leon drove the vehicle around a corner and broke into a factory near the suburbs. There were also several people in that factory, and they started firing at us with guns.


    ?Leon and Benson fired back, and within a few seconds, the group of people who were chasing us also broke into the place, making the scene even more chaotic..."


    ??Mona frowned slightly, and the sound of typing on the computer keyboard did not stop. She had already understood what Anatole said:


    ?That is, Leon and others discovered a sunken ship containing gold at sea, but the news of returning to land was leaked, and a group of people appeared who wanted to take advantage of it.


    Leon and the others could not defeat this group of people, so during their escape, they drove into the territory of a third party, hoping to divert trouble to the east.


    Roan also understood Anatole��s story, but there was still a question he didn��t understand, so he asked:


    ��Those fake money, where did they come from?��


    ��Benson gave it to me.��


    Anatoly explained in a muffled voice:


    ��There are many machines in that factory, and there are many packages behind the machines, and the packages contain the money.


    As the men were shooting each other, Benson found a backpack containing the money.


    He handed me the backpack, asked me to leave the factory first, and asked me to go to New York to find Campbell. He and Leon would arrive later. "


    Anatoly was very obedient and took advantage of the chaos and left the factory with a backpack containing fake money and a backpack containing gold coins.


    On the way, Anatoly wanted to eat, but he had no money in his pocket, so he had to take out the fake money to buy food to fill his stomach.


    ?Going all the way north, Anatoly arrived in New York successfully, and successfully found Campbell-Hank according to the contact information given by Benson.


    ��Benson said Campbell was absolutely trustworthy.��


    Speaking of this, Anatoly''s eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible jealousy, and he whispered:


    ��Because they went to jail together and slept with several women together. They are half-brothers with no blood relationship.��


    ������x2


    ?Mona paused while typing, and Luo An twitched the corner of his mouth, suppressing the complaints in his heart, and then asked Anatoly a question.


    ?Twenty minutes later, Roan and Mona walked out of the interrogation room. Winslow quickly came up to them, shaking the document and saying:


    ��Luo An, the trace inspection department has found out the source of the gold coin.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 833： Double Eagle Gold Dollar

    Chapter 833 Double Eagle Gold Dollar


    Treasure hunting, adventure, seabed, shipwrecks, ancient gold coins.


    ?These words came together, and when they heard Winslow''s words, Lacey, Chenelle, and Mona''s eyes lit up, and Michelle and Roan also showed interesting expressions.


    Winslow opened the file and said:


    ��The test report of the Trace Inspection Section shows that these 9 gold coins are "Double Eagle Gold Dollars", and then..."


    ��What?!��


    Just halfway through Winslow''s words, a startled female voice suddenly sounded. Luo An and Mona turned their heads and found that the person who screamed was actually Michelle.


    Chenelle and Lacey were very surprised. As Michelle, who was "free from vulgar carnal tastes", she had been working in the special investigation team for such a long time and her mood was very stable most of the time.


    No matter how difficult it is, Michelle��s first reaction is not to complain or break down, but to analyze and solve the difficulties.


    ?Scenes like today''s exclaiming were indeed quite rare for Michelle.


    Seeing everyone looking at her in surprise, Michelle felt a little embarrassed. She smoothed her hair and explained seriously:


    ��The Double Eagle gold dollar was a currency issued by the federal government during some time in the last century. It has extremely high collection value. A gold coin minted in 1787 was once auctioned for a high price of more than 700,000 US dollars.


    In 2003-04, a Philadelphia family discovered ten "double eagle coins" in their late father''s safe.


    They then contacted the mint and sent the gold coins for appraisal.


    The mint determined that the gold coins were genuine, but refused to return them on the grounds that they had stolen state property.


    The family filed an angry lawsuit, and the federal government said they could not prove they had obtained the gold coins through legal means and therefore had no ownership rights, and the coins were confiscated. "


    ������x5


    ?Winslow and Lacey were speechless, Mona and Chenelle looked with disdain on their faces, Roan was not too surprised by this.


    They are the world��s beacon after all, and they have the final say when the lights turn on.


    After Michelle finished her brief description, she looked at Winslow with interest and asked:


    "What did the Trace Inspection Department say? In what year were these "Double Eagle Gold Dollars" produced?"


    ��Well, the Trace Inspection Department doesn��t know either.��


    Winslow spread his hands and said that the Trace Inspection Department, like the previous counterfeit coins, had no experts in antique gold coins.


    They can only confirm that the gold coin is the "Double Eagle Gold Dollar". I am afraid that the specific casting time needs to be informed by a relevant appraiser.


    Roan waved his hand to signal Winslow to continue what he said at the beginning. Winslow nodded and said:


    ��The Trace Inspection Section stated that no matter where these ��Double Eagle Gold Dollars�� are found in the sea, it shows that there is definitely a very large sunken ship there.


    Along with these "Double Eagle Gold Dollars", there is a high probability that there will be huge amounts of gold and other treasures. "


    ??Luo An frowned slightly, took the interrogation record in Mona''s hand, and said:


    ��Anatole just said that in addition to these gold coins, they also found some gold bars, but they were just robbed.


    ?The gold bars are engraved with words such as "kelloo...139NN...".


    Winslow, take this information to the Trace Inspection Section and see if they can pinpoint which shipwreck it is. "


    ��I��ll go over right away.��


    Winslow nodded and immediately turned around and left the office area. Lacey looked at the interrogation record in Roan''s hand and asked:


    ��Roan, did Anatoly find any clues?��


    ��In fact, he made it clear what was going on behind the case.��


    ??Luo An smiled, handed the interrogation record to Lacey, and briefly described Anatoly''s experience.


    ?After listening to Anatoly��s story, Chenelle and Michelle looked at each other. Lacey was silent for a few seconds and said:


    ��So, this case is not a counterfeit money case, but actually a treasure-grabbing case involving gangsters?��


    ��In a sense, it can be said.��


    ?Luo An nodded, picked up the coffee and took a sip.


    ??The story behind this case is not complicated. Anatoly, Benson, Leon and others drove a treasure hunting boat to search for sunken ships on the sea, and successfully discovered these "double eagle gold coins" and gold bars. They planned to change to a larger ship to salvage the sunken ship, but the news was leaked. Not long after they landed, they met a gangster who wanted to kidnap them and go hunting for the treasure themselves.


    "I have a question."


    At this point, Lacey raised her hand and asked with some confusion:


    ��I can understand that if you encounter a bad guy, you��ll eat the bad guy, and if you can��t beat him, you��ll run away.


    ?Benson and Leon want to divert trouble to the east and drag others into trouble, and I can understand their thinking.


    ?Benson later handed the counterfeit banknotes to Anatoly and asked him to take the money and run away, which shows that Benson most likely knew that someone was making counterfeit banknotes in the factory in the suburbs.


    But this kind of news should be very hidden. How did Benson know about it? "


    ��I haven��t thought about this clearly either.��


    ?Mona nodded and agreed very much with Lacey��s words. She then added:


    ��Also, I have another question.


    I don��t quite understand why Benson and Leon trust Anatoly so much.


    ??They also asked Anatoly to keep the gold coins, gave Anatoly counterfeit banknotes, and asked Anatoly to escape in the chaos, but the two of them stayed behind to break up the rear.


    ??Since they have encountered gangsters and gangsters, they should have internal trust issues. "


    ��Is it possible that Anatoly��s mental state is not very good?��


    Michelle gave her own guess, saying:


    ��Anatoli has some mental problems, so the two of them believe that there is nothing wrong with him.��


    ����


    ?Mona, Chenelle and Lacey looked at Michelle speechlessly, wanting to complain but not knowing what to say, because her guess did make sense on a certain level.


    "For the first question, we should have the opportunity to catch Leon and others to ask them face to face. As for the second question..."


    At this moment, Luo An, who was next to him, shook his head. He showed a report to the four people and said:


    ��Here��s the real reason.��


    ??Lacie quickly reached out and took the paper. Mona, Chenelle and Michelle quickly turned their eyes to look at it and found that it was Anatoly''s physical condition test report issued by the doctor.


    Ordinary bruises, excessive blood loss, fractures, etc. were swept away. The four women continued to look down, and words such as "genital warts" and "rectal mucosal injury" appeared in front of them.


    ������x4


    The four women fell silent for a moment. They all learned some basic knowledge during FBI training and understood the meaning behind these words.


    ?Especially Lacey, she can proudly say that no one in this office knows better than her.


    Roan on the side rubbed his temples. During the interrogation just now, when talking about topics related to Benson, Leon and women, the emotion of "jealousy" appeared in Anatoly''s mind many times.


    Luo An thought he had guessed wrong at first, but after leaving the interrogation room and carefully reading the medical report, he remembered what Anatoli had said before that their treasure hunt ship was constantly drifting at sea for more than a month or even three months. Anatoly is very thin and has a pretty face...


    Luo An did not comment on this. There are more than a hundred genders in the Federation, and men are nothing at all. This is called freedom.


    ??Lacie put the report aside, and the two women tacitly agreed not to discuss it anymore. Chenelle thought about it and asked:


    ��Luo An, what do we do next?��


    ��Next, let��s leave Washington, D.C. and take a look at the South.��


    ?Luo An crossed his arms over his chest and smiled:


    ��Go to Atlanta to see the local customs and customs.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 834： fire

    Chapter 834 Fire


    Thursday, Atlanta, Georgia, a hotel suite.


    ??Luo An led the detectives of the special investigation team to fly here from Washington, D.C., rested overnight and started investigating the information the next day.


    "Um��"


    At the dining table, Michelle was sitting in front of the computer typing on the keyboard. Suddenly she looked strange and stopped when she wanted to speak. Luo An was a little confused when he saw this:


    ��Michelle, have you found any clues?��


    ��Well, no, it��s...��


    ??The expression on Michelle''s face became more and more weird. Seeing Luo An looking at her in confusion, she smiled awkwardly, showed the computer screen to Luo An, and explained:


    ��I just checked Anatoly��s past experience to see if I could find some clues about him, and then I found this person����


    ?Michelle was halfway through speaking and didn��t know how to continue. Roan turned his eyes to the computer screen and carefully looked at Anatoly��s past experiences.


    Anatoly was born into a wealthy family. Before he grew up, his father became addicted to gambling and lost all his family property in just one year. Then he began to drink and abuse his wife and children.


    Her mother was beaten to death by her father one time, and Anatoly has suffered from some mental illness and coma since then.


    After his father was arrested and imprisoned, Anatoly was sent to an orphanage. A few years later, the orphanage closed down due to lack of financial resources. Anatoly was still two years shy of adulthood at that time, but age never prevents people from entering social universities. .


    Anatoly first joined a car repair shop as an apprentice. The owner of the repair shop''s business grew bigger and bigger. When he was about to open a branch, he was suddenly imprisoned due to tax issues, and the repair shop went bankrupt.


    Anatoly then found a job as a waiter in a restaurant. The restaurant was prosperous for a while, and then it was burned to ruins by fire.


    Anatoly later went to work in a bakery, a grocery store, and a supermarket. Those places were prosperous for a period of time, and then collapsed due to accidents.


    When Anatoly joined the treasure-hunting ship, less than half a year after setting off with the ship, the treasure-hunting team found the sunken ship and gold...and then they encountered gangsters.


    ����


    After reading the information on the computer, Luo An��s eyelids jumped. Michelle looked strange and was silent for a few seconds and whispered:


    ��It must be a coincidence. Anatoli has worked in gun shops, hospitals and other places in the past, so there are no problems in those places.��


    ??Luo An nodded without saying anything, pushed the computer back to Michelle, and asked her to continue investigating and looking for clues.


    "I''m back!"


    At this moment, Lacey pushed the door open and walked into the room. She raised the folder in her hand and said:


    ��Luo An, I have obtained the information about the night of the incident from the Atlanta police.��


    ��Good, thank you for your hard work.��


    Roan took the folder and looked at it carefully. Michelle asked Lacey what happened that night. Lacey replied seriously:


    ��The Atlanta police stated that on the night of the incident, about eight people first raided a rental house.


    ?There were 10 people in the rental house. They didn''t react at first and were caught on the spot.


    ? I don��t know what happened during the process. Several grenades were detonated. Two of the attackers were killed, and six of the captured people were killed.


    ?The remaining four people in the rental house wanted to flee, but six angry attackers beat one of them to death on the spot. Only three people took advantage of the chaos and drove away. The attackers chased after them angrily. "


    ??Michelle nodded slightly when she heard this, which perfectly corresponded to Anatoly''s confession.


    Lacie continued:


    ��The grenade explosion caused a lot of noise, and patrol police from nearby areas drove to check it out.


    On the way, one of the police cars driven by several patrol officers had a flat tire, another broke down, and another accidentally hit a tree.


    By the time more police followed the pursuers and arrived at the factory on the outskirts of Atlanta, the fighting there had ended and a raging fire was burning at the scene.


    The police were unable to put out the fire and could only call the fire station. The next day, police were dispatched to the factory ruins to inspect the situation. "


    ������ ????After listening to Lacey��s description, Michelle��s head was covered with black lines.


    She can accept a flat tire or breakdown, but is the one behind her that hits a tree too much?


    Lacey spread her hands. Atlanta is a city with a reputation for simple folk customs and talented people. It is ranked among the best in the federal government. In addition, the police funds are not much and are even declining year by year. However, the police officers were too excited and accidentally drove. Just hitting a tree, a minor problem.


    ��It doesn��t matter, this document provides us with a lot of clues.��


    Seeing the somewhat indignant Michelle, Luo An shook his head slightly, pointed at the folder and smiled lightly:


    ��The police said they found nine charred bodies in the burning factory.


    ??There were three teams in the factory that night, the pursuers, the treasure hunting team and the team that made counterfeit banknotes.


    Anatoly said during interrogation that when the three of them drove into the factory, there were six people inside. These people should be the counterfeit banknote team.


    Including the 6 pursuers, there were a total of 15 people on the scene. Excluding Anatoly who escaped, 9 of the remaining 14 people died and only 5 survived.


    No matter which camp these five people belong to, all three camps themselves suffered heavy losses. "


    ��That��s right.��


    Lacie nodded heavily and then said:


    ��Mona has gone to the autopsy department of the Atlanta police. It won��t take long for the true identities of those who died to be found out.��


    Michelle��s eyes lit up:


    ��You will be able to follow the clues and find out who is making counterfeit banknotes.��


    ��Everyone, I��m back.��


    Within a few minutes, Winslow and Chenelle returned to the hotel suite together. After a brief drink of water, Chenelle first introduced:


    ��Luo An, as you requested, Winslow and I checked the details of the factory where the counterfeit banknote gang is located.


    ?The owner of the factory is a man named Tangente. We followed the information and finally found him in a nursing home. "


    ��Sanatorium?��


    Lacie and Michelle were stunned for a moment. Chenelle nodded, with a very ugly expression on her face, and explained:


    ��Don Ente is 86 years old and suffers from severe Alzheimer��s disease. He can��t speak. We can��t ask about the factory at all.


    ?In other words, Tangente probably doesn��t even know that he has a factory under his name. "


    ��In addition, counterfeit money has become rampant in Atlanta��s underground world, and the exact amount is unknown.��


    As soon as Chenier finished speaking, Winslow added that many of the guys who used counterfeit money had picked up the counterfeit money for nothing in the suburbs of Atlanta.


    ��It looks like it was the fire.��


    Luo An thought for a while and quickly figured out what happened, and said in a deep voice:


    ��In that fire, not all the counterfeit banknotes in the factory were burned down. Many counterfeit banknotes were blown away by the wind, or were robbed by brave guys in the chaos.��


    ?There are many people in the federal underground world who are good at fishing in troubled waters, picking up corpses afterwards, and even make a living doing this.


    Several people in the room became quiet for a moment. Their goal was to track down and arrest the counterfeit banknote team. As a result, this case involved another gangster case. The clues at hand were quite complicated, but not many were useful. , very troublesome.


    Jingle Bell-


    ?At this moment, Luo An''s cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, and Mona''s excited voice came out:


    ��Luo An, good news, I found out who died in the factory fire on the night of the incident!


    Not only that, I also found out the identities of the people who were chasing Anatoly! "


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 835： Three camps, identities

    Chapter 835 Three camps, identities


    ��The eight people who attacked the treasure hunting team were led by a guy named Vassell Vinny.��


    In the hotel suite, Mona put a photo on the dining table and introduced it seriously:


    ��This guy is not simple. The Atlanta police suspect that at least six bank robberies in Georgia are related to him, but they have no evidence or clues.��


    In the photo, he is a white man. He looks to be in his thirties, with well-proportioned muscles. He wears a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiles in a friendly manner.


    ?Looking at the faces in the photo, Luo An asked:


    "What about the rest?"


    ��The remaining 7 people are����


    ??Mona briefly introduced the names and identities of those people and said:


    ��Georgia State Police have discovered the connection between these eight individuals, but have not yet found evidence that they robbed the bank.


    ?? Among the 9 corpses left inside the factory that night, the autopsy reports showed that the DNA of 4 of them perfectly matched 4 of the 8 people.


    ?The police found the bodies of the two attackers in the rental house, and their DNA could also match two of the eight people.


    In summary, the attackers on the night of the incident were the Vassell-Venney group.


    There were 8 of them in total, and 6 of them died in the battle that night. Only Vassell himself and a demolitionist named Vernon with several gold teeth in his mouth were left. "


    Luo An was silent, and Lacey asked:


    ��There were a total of 9 corpses in the factory fire. Apart from the 4 just now, what were the identities of the remaining 5 corpses?��


    ��One of the deceased was Leon, who Anatoly said was not in good spirits and drove him to escape.��


    ??Mona took out several documents from her handbag and distributed them to everyone, saying:


    ��As for the remaining four, their names are Aaron, Albert, Jack, and Susan.


    If nothing unexpected happens, these four people are members of the counterfeit banknote team. "


    ��Susan graduated from art school and is a painter; Jack is a top student in chemistry; Albert has been in prison for forging his identity and engaging in financial fraud; Aaron is a former special forces soldier����


    Looking at the identity information of the four people, Winslow was very emotional:


    ��They are all talents.��


    Lacie nodded in agreement, and then shook her head:


    ��They are indeed talented people, but the path they take is a bit crooked.��


    ??Luo An briefly glanced at the identity information of the four people and put the folder on the table. Then he took the autopsy report in Mona''s hand, narrowed his eyes and concluded:


    ��In other words, after the fire, there were only two people left in the Vassell-Venni group who wanted to take advantage of others; the counterfeit banknote team also had two people left.


    ?That Benson is also still alive, and only he and the mentally unstable Anatoly are left in the treasure hunting team. "


    ��Before the fire burned, Benson handed counterfeit coins and ancient gold coins to Anatoly, who was mentally unstable, and asked him to go to New York. He also said that he would go to New York when he returned, and the two agreed to meet there.��


    Chenelle frowned and analyzed:


    ��But in the end, only Anatoly arrived in New York, but Benson never showed up.


    ??The current clues show that Benson did not die in the fire, so I feel that this guy may have been held hostage by the hacker team or the counterfeit banknote team. "


    ��This probability is very high.��


    ?Winslow, Mona, Michelle and Lacey all nodded, they agreed with Chenelle''s guess.


    ?Luo An crossed his arms over his chest and thought for a while, then asked:


    ��The two remaining members of the black-and-black team are the leader Vassell and the gold-toothed blaster Vernon.


    The two remaining members of the treasure hunting team, the mentally unstable Anatoly, have been captured by us, and the other is Benson.


    ?Mona, can you find out the identities of the two remaining people in the counterfeit banknote team? "


    ��Sorry.��


    ?Mona spread her hands, with a helpless expression on her face, and said:


    ��Too many things were destroyed in that fire, and it was almost impossible to find NDA, fingerprints and other information other than the nine corpses.�� The mobile phones of Susan and the other four people in the counterfeit banknote team were not found at the scene of the fire.


    Perhaps they were taken away before the counterfeit banknotes were made. After the fire was ignited, they were taken away by two other people from the counterfeit banknote team.


    ?The previous phone records of these four people are all other ordinary numbers. Not only are there no connections between the four people, but there are also no other unusual calls or messages to contact them. "


    ��Very cautious.��


    ?Winslow and Chenelle looked very unhappy, while Michelle and Lacey frowned:


    ��It��s not easy to attack Vassell from the gangster team. The leader of the counterfeit banknote team now seems to be a very difficult guy.��


    ��It��s normal.��


    Luo An rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice:


    ��Every aspect of the counterfeit banknote business is not simple. If the team leader was a simple person, it would be impossible to produce these super counterfeit banknotes.��


    ?Mona and the others were convinced. Everyone was silent for a few seconds, and Lacey asked:


    ��There is no surveillance in the area near the suburban factory. We have many clues at hand, but it seems we can��t continue the investigation... Luo An, what should we do next?��


    ?At present, the special investigation team has roughly figured out the story behind the factory fire that night, and also figured out the three parties before the fire was ignited.


    ?The only problem is that the primary target they want to investigate on this trip is the counterfeit banknote case.


    ?At present, they do have the bodies of four people in the counterfeit banknote team, but the appearance, name, identity and other information of the remaining two people are still unknown.


    Michelle, Winslow and Chenelle''s faces were not very pretty. Mona frowned. She raised her head and looked at Luo An. She saw Luo An''s expression was calm and he waved his hand and said:


    ��Don��t panic, don��t be in a hurry.��


    Seeing Luo An being so calm, the Winslows and others cheered up, and Lacey asked excitedly:


    ��Luo An, have you thought of the next plan?��


    "of course not."


    ?? Luo An let out a long, loud gasp, which immediately made Winslow and Lacey freeze in expression. Luo An smiled and said:


    ��The clues are stuck here right now, and I really don��t have any good ideas.��


    ??Mona rolled her eyes, put down the coffee she was about to pass to Luo An, and asked:


    ��Then what are your plans?��


    ��Keep going down, we can��t go any further, we might as well look back.��


    ?Seeing that Winslow and Lacey were confused, Luo An smiled and said:


    ��Winslow, call the trace inspection department and ask them if they have found out which sunken ship the gold with numbers came from.


    I will also call Team Leader Paul later. Don��t forget Klaus and Karl who were captured by us that night. "


    After interrogating the mentally unstable Anatoly, Roan immediately asked Chenille to bring Klaus into the interrogation room who was trying to take hostages and coerce Roan and the others to let him go.


    During the interrogation, Klaus didn''t care at all and didn''t answer Luo An''s questions. He kept cursing to himself, with no emotion in his mind except anger.


    As for Karl, who was frightened by the grenade that seemed to have eyes, he knew everything, but he was just a member of the team. Karl knew nothing about who hired them and asked them to kidnap Anatoly.


    Considering that he was in a hurry to go to Atlanta, Roan temporarily handed Klaus over to team leader Paul.


    I believe that under the guidance of the experienced and affable team leader Paul, Klaus will definitely learn to speak well.


    As expected, after the call was connected, Team Leader Paul laughed and said:


    ��Roan, Klaus is very cooperative, I like this guy very much!��

    Chapter 836 Employee Identity


    Atlanta, a hotel suite.


    ??Team leader Paul''s words may easily sound ambiguous, but the other person is already married and his wife has given him a child. There is no problem with his orientation. He was just joking with Luo An.


    As for Klaus himself, he was successfully taught by team leader Paul, who has been walking between black and white for many years, is good at talking, and is better at harmonious communication. He learned a lot of knowledge and his speaking attitude has also improved a lot.


    Roan asked a few questions, and Klaus explained everything simply.


    Surprisingly, Klaus has always lived in Atlanta, as have Karl and others under him.


    They don��t have regular jobs. They occasionally assemble some guns with parts for sale, resell some white flour, and rob a bank when they have nothing to do. Their daily life is very monotonous and not interesting at all.


    ?Until recently, Klaus was on an underground website, preparing to buy some low-priced gun parts and then assemble the finished guns for sale when someone suddenly sent him a message asking him to kidnap a person.


    Klaus initially refused. First, he did not know the other party at all and was worried that the police would engage in fishing enforcement. Second, kidnapping was far more troublesome than robbing a bank, and he did not have much experience in this area.


    ?Seeing that the other party was willing to pay a reward of 300,000 US dollars and provide all the information about Anatoly, Klaus finally agreed.


    It��s not that he cares about the money, but he mainly wants to add another skill. There is also a lot of knowledge in the kidnapping business, and Klaus thinks it is worth learning.


    ?After a brief discussion between the two parties, Klaus first asked for a deposit of 100,000 US dollars, prepared some weapons, and then tracked Anatoly from Atlanta to New York.


    After reading the written record in Luo An��s hand, Lacey frowned:


    ��In other words, Klaus doesn��t know who hired them.��


    ��It doesn��t matter, Klaus has already given us the URL of the underground website and his account password.��


    ??Mona smiled nonchalantly, sat down at the dining table and started typing on the keyboard:


    ��Give me some time and I��ll see if I can find the hirer.��


    ��I��m here to help.��


    ?Michelle immediately moved her chair, held the computer and came to Mona to help her.


    Luo An poured a cup of coffee for several people and said with a smile:


    ��Actually, these words of Klaus have provided us with a lot of information.��


    ??Lacie looked confused, Luo An took a sip of coffee and explained:


    ��First of all, the hirer��s request is to kidnap Anatoly, not to kill him directly.


    Considering that Anatoli was a member of the treasure-hunting ship, the real purpose of the hirer was probably to ask Anatoli for the specific location of the sunken ship, and then to salvage the gold himself. "


    ��That��s right!��


    Lacie''s eyes lit up and she agreed with Luo An''s analysis. Then she frowned slightly and said:


    ��The question is, who is this employee from?


    A team that takes advantage of others, or a team that makes counterfeit money? "


    ��Both are possible, but it won��t be a treasure hunting team anyway.��


    Cheniel also figured this out. She then realized a problem and said in a concentrated voice:


    ��The other party is so eager to find Anatoly. Is it possible that Benson, the last survivor of the treasure hunting team, is also dead?��


    ��There is this possibility.��


    ?Luo An put his chin on his hand and analyzed in a low voice:


    ��On the night of the fire, the black and black team suffered heavy losses, especially the counterfeit banknote team. Equipment, personnel, counterfeit banknote inventory, etc. were all burned by the fire.


    ?During the exchange of fire between the two sides, the counterfeit banknote team was likely to also know about the gold from the sunken ship.


    ??If this gold is found, whether it is a gangster team or a counterfeit team, they can recover their losses and even make a huge profit. "


    ��In other words, if Benson is caught by the gangster team, the employer may be the counterfeit banknote team.


    On the other hand, if Benson is caught by the counterfeiting team, the employer may be a gangster team. "


    Lacey summarized the analysis of Roan and Chenille, and then asked: "Roan, you just said that Klaus''s words provided a lot of information, what else?"


    ��The second message is almost the same as your summary.��


    ?Luo An put down the coffee cup and said quietly:


    ��Klaus said that he was approached by someone for hire while he was browsing underground websites.


    ??Klaus has obviously never done anything like kidnapping, but his employer is still willing to pay him to do it. What does this mean? "


    Lacey was stunned for a moment. Cheniel''s face changed and she reacted instantly. She slapped her hand and said:


    ��The employer has met or known Klaus in real life!��


    ��It can even be said that the employer knows Klaus very well, knows that he likes money and is short of money, and also knows his experience of buying parts and assembling guns on the website, otherwise the other party would not be able to find Klaus on the underground website.��


    ?Luo An nodded, and then Cheniel continued her analysis:


    ��People who know Klaus so well are either Chris��s past customers who sold guns and flour, or they are his relatives or subordinates.��


    ��No matter which one, the employer is sure to subdue Klaus at the critical moment.��


    Lacie finally reacted, hammered her hands and said loudly:


    ��To prevent Klaus from going it alone or taking the opportunity to raise the price after learning the information about the shipwreck gold from Anatoly!��


    ��The hirer is a gangster team! It must be them!��


    ? Chenier looked serious and continued her analysis:


    ��Only Vassell and Vernon from the gangster team, they not only robbed the bank, they may have approached Klaus to buy weapons.


    ??They still have the ability and cruelty to take action at the critical moment, kill Klaus and several others, and take away Anatoly! "


    ��Everyone! I found the employer��s information!��


    At this moment, Mona suddenly showed excitement, raised her hands and said loudly:


    ��The other party just entered this underground website and registered an account not long ago. The first thing he did after registering the account was to contact Klaus.��


    "it is as expected!"


    Lacey looked excited and hurriedly walked to Mona. Chenille followed closely and went to check the situation. Roan looked calm and asked:


    ��Can you find out where the other party is now?��


    ��The IP address when the other party first registered an account was in the city of Atlanta, and it was the same when chatting with Klaus... There is no way to confirm it now.��


    ??Mona typed on the computer keyboard a few times, pondered for a few seconds and raised her head and said:


    ��However, Michelle can pretend to be her identity and send a message to the other party. As long as the other party answers and Michelle briefly chats with the other party, I can locate the other party.��


    "very good!"


    ?Roan nodded with satisfaction. Lacey and Chenelle were quite excited. Michelle looked up at Roan, wondering what words Roan asked her to send to the other party.


    ��Pay attention to Klaus��s tone of voice and typing habits when communicating with each other in the past.��


    ?Luo An was silent for a few seconds, first reminded Michelle a few words, and then said:


    ��Tell them that Anatoly has been captured and we are returning to Atlanta.


    ??However, there were some accidents during the arrest, and several of my men were injured. "


    ?Michelle nodded, thought carefully for a few seconds, polished these words, and sent them out according to Klaus''s speaking habits.


    After pressing the send button, the room fell silent. Lacey and Chenelle looked at the computer screen nervously. The person on the other end didn''t know if they had seen the message and did not reply yet.


    While waiting, Winslow came over, shook his cell phone and said:


    ��The Trace Inspection Department has sent news about the gold.��


    ��What did they say?��


    ��They suspect that the sunken ship is the SS Central America.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 837： shipwreck, clues, action

    Chapter 837: Shipwreck, clues, action


    ��SS Central America?��


    Hearing this word, Luo An''s expression changed slightly. Lacey, Chenelle and Mona looked puzzled. They knew about zero knowledge in this area, so they could only turn to look at Michelle, who read the most in the room.


    ��SS Central America?!��


    Compared to the "uneducated" Laceys and others, when Michelle heard Winslow''s words, her eyes widened in shock and she said in disbelief:


    ��Winslow, are you sure?��


    ? Winslow spread his hands:


    ��That��s what the Trace Inspection Department said.��


    ?Seeing the shocked expression on Michelle''s face, Lacey looked around and asked:


    ��What��s going on with the SS Central America?��


    ��It was a steamship that encountered a storm in 1857 and sank unexpectedly.��


    ?Michelle took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in her heart, and explained seriously:


    ��The sinking of this ship is one of the largest maritime disasters in the world.


    ?The losses it caused triggered the Great Financial Panic of 1857, which can be called the first global financial crisis. "


    ?Hearing Michelle''s words, the faces of Mona, Chenelle and Winslow all became extremely serious. Lacey was stunned for a moment and asked:


    ��A ship sank to the bottom of the sea, causing a financial crisis�� Was there a lot of money on the ship?��


    ��It��s not much money, just some ordinary double eagle gold coins.��


    Michelle smiled slightly and said:


    ��But this ship carried a little gold, about 19 tons.��


    !!��


    ��What?!��


    ��19 tons?! Gold?!��


    ?Lacie''s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, Chenelle and Winslow suddenly stood up with heavy breathing, and Mona even took a deep breath.


    Since the establishment of human society, gold has always been the hardest currency. No matter in peacetime or war, the value of gold has never fallen.


    Most ordinary people who have a little money buy gold jewelry when it comes to gold, which is usually measured in grams.


    Rich people may buy some gold bars to store just in case, but not too much. After all, countries around the world strictly control gold, and it is impossible for ordinary people to obtain huge amounts of gold.


    For ordinary people, there are too few opportunities to associate the measurement unit of ton with gold. Lacey, Chenelle, and Mona only feel a little numb now.


    Winslow took a few deep breaths to overcome the surging emotions. He turned around and found that Luo An was still very calm. He was a little surprised:


    ��Luo An, do you also know about the SS Central America?��


    ��Know something.��


    Seeing Lacey and the others looking at him in surprise, Luo An took a sip of his coffee and said with a smile:


    ��Actually, there is not as much gold on board the SS Central America as 19 tons.


    ?In 1980, this sunken ship was discovered, and a small amount of gold on the surface was salvaged. "


    ��That��s right.��


    Michelle nodded and said:


    ��At that time, he was an engineer from Ohio who led a team to salvage about 5% of the total gold and made a lot of money.��


    ?Mona slowly calmed down her agitated mood, thought for a while and asked:


    ��Why were only 5% salvaged? Is it because the technology was insufficient at the time and there were difficulties?��


    ��There is a reason for this.��


    Michelle nodded and then added:


    ��On the other hand, the engineer didn��t have any money at the time. He was looking for someone to raise funds to go overseas.


    ?After catching the gold, the guy took the money and ran away, and then it turned into a story of law and lawsuits. "


    ������x4


    Ding-


    Just when Chenelle was about to say something, Michelle''s computer suddenly rang. Several people quickly turned their heads to look at the screen, only to see a message coming back from the other side, saying:


    ��Very good, give me the person. If there��s no problem with the person, I��ll pay the balance immediately.��


    Michelle looked up at Luo An and asked Luo An what to answer next. Luo An turned his eyes to Mona, and Mona��s fingers were flying on the keyboard and said:


    "give me some more time."


    ��OK.��


    Luo An thought for a moment and said:


    ��I repeat, several of my men were injured because of this incident, and they are all my half-brothers.��


    Michelle polished the text and sent it out. The other person was silent for a few seconds and asked: "What do you mean?"


    Luo An chuckled:


    "Add money."


    "Can."


    What surprised Michelle, the other person agreed very simply and replied:


    ��I will add another 100,000 US dollars, but you must ensure that the person is fine. We will hand over the person with one hand and the money with the other.��


    ��$100,000 is not enough.��


    ?Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and said:


    ��I want 200,000 US dollars, and I will decide the location of the transaction.��


    "impossible!"


    ?This time the other party refused very simply and said that the temporary price increase was excessive enough and should not go further.


    Michelle looked at Luo An with a strange expression. Luo An looked at Mona again and asked:


    ��How are you doing here?��


    ��Successfully located that guy!��


    ??Mona smiled with a smile on her face, raised her hand and made an OK gesture, and introduced:


    ��The other party is not in Atlanta, nor in Georgia, but in Charleston, South Carolina!��


    ��I know Charleston! I��ve been there before!��


    Lacie looked excited, stood up straight and said loudly:


    ��It is one of the oldest cities in the Union. It was the capital of South Carolina before 1790. It was also the wealthiest small town in the South of the Union at that time. It now has one of the most popular leisure resorts in the Union.


    In addition, the transportation is convenient and the port is large, which is very suitable for going to sea! "


    ��In other words, the other party is already preparing to go to sea to salvage the sunken ship?��


    Roan��s eyes moved slightly, he looked at Michelle and said:


    ��Michelle, continue to negotiate with the other party to delay the time. The money does not need to be increased, but the transaction location must be decided by us, Klaus!


    ??The rest of you, pack your things now and we''re off to Charleston! "


    "clear!"


    "no problem!"


    ?All the agents accepted the order in unison and immediately packed up their belongings.


    After finishing the brief arrangement, Michelle continued to hold the computer and talk to each other. Luo An and others quickly headed to the airport with Michelle.


    Forty minutes later, at 9:30 pm, everyone took a plane and arrived in Charleston smoothly.


    ?Just after walking out of the airport, Michelle''s expression suddenly changed. She walked quickly to Luo An with the computer in her arms and said:


    ��Luo An, the other party stopped replying to messages. It seems that a problem has been discovered!��


    The expressions of Lacey and Winslow changed slightly, and Luo An waved his hand to signal them to calm down:


    "It doesn''t matter. As I said before, since the other party may know Klaus, it is normal to find that something is wrong."


    Luo An never thought that he could always deceive the other party. He turned to look at Mona and asked:


    ��How are you doing here?��


    ��The IP address hasn��t changed, it��s just in the suburbs of Charleston.��


    ?Mona looked serious and replied quickly:


    ��There is not much surveillance in that area, and the transportation is convenient, which is very suitable for hiding and escaping.��


    ��Good.��


    Luo An nodded and then asked:


    ��Winslow?��


    ��SWAT team is ready.��


    ?Winslow covered his phone and grinned, showing his white teeth:


    ��Ready to act at any time!��


    "very good."


    Luo An smiled with satisfaction and ordered:


    ��Michelle, contact the local police and ask the patrol officers to cooperate in temporarily blocking the road; Mona, pay attention to the surveillance and police network, and report the situation immediately if you find it.


    ?Winslow, notify the SWAT team and we will meet at the scene. Lacey and Chenille, pack your weapons and let''s go! "


    ��Understood!��xN


    At the same time, in a villa on the outskirts of Charleston, a white man''s face was filled with anger. He kicked another man to the ground, put a gun to his head and yelled:


    ��Yousonof better than eating!��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 838： Tracking, frightened passers-by

    Chapter 838 Tracking, frightened passers-by


    ��Fu-kyou!��


    ??In a villa in the suburbs of Charleston, Vassell-Vinney bent over and squatted down, pressing a white man''s head with his left knee, and holding a pistol firmly against the man''s temple.


    ?At this time, the glasses on the bridge of Vasseur-Venney''s nose had been thrown aside, his face was full of anger, and he shouted sharply:


    ��Herman! Do you want to die?��


    ?The white man on the ground is about thirty years old. His face is slightly deformed because his head was pressed.


    Even so, even though his temple was pressed with a pistol, Herman still had no fear on his face. Instead, he grinned and said inarticulately:


    ��Shoot, kill me if you can.��


    Wasser Vinny became even more angry when he heard this, and his whole body even trembled with excitement.


    ��Boss, calm down a little bit.��


    At this moment, Demoman Vernon, who was not far away, walked over. He shook his phone, grinned with a few big gold teeth and whispered:


    ��There is something wrong with the patrol police in nearby areas. They began to come towards our area in an organized manner.��


    ����


    When Vassell Vinny heard this, his expression became even colder. Then he took a few deep breaths to slowly calm down. The anger on his face disappeared. Finally, he stood up from Herman expressionlessly and turned to Golden Tooth. Farm Road:


    ��Pack your things, let��s retreat.��


    ��OK.��


    Golden Tooth Vernon nodded and quickly turned around to sort out his equipment.


    ??Wasser Vinny found his glasses and put them back on the bridge of his nose, then pulled Herman up from the ground and pulled him in front of him by his collar.


    The two people were very close nose to nose, and they could even smell each other''s breath. Vassell-Venni said coldly with no expression on his face:


    ��Listen, Herman, I say it for the last time, your life is mine, you...��


    ?Herman spread his hands with a smile on his face, and before Vassell Vinny finished speaking, he interrupted:


    ��Then kill me now.��


    ??The cold look in Vassell Vinny''s eyes became more intense, but the smile on Herman''s face became brighter.


    Not long after the two people were in a stalemate, Goldtooth Vernon walked over quickly carrying two black backpacks and whispered:


    ��It��s packed, boss.��


    ��Retreat!��


    ??Wasser-Vinny pushed Herman in front of the gold-toothed Vernon, took a black backpack and walked quickly outside the villa.


    ??Gold-toothed Vernon held his backpack and pushed Herman to move faster with a look of displeasure on his face. Herman didn''t care and quickly walked towards a car following Vassell Vinny''s back.


    At the same time, on a certain road in the distance, two SWAT personnel carriers were moving forward quickly, and on another road not far away, an MPV was also moving forward quickly.


    ��Several nearby highways have notified the patrol police to set up temporary checkpoints in accordance with Luo An��s order.��


    From the passenger seat of MPV, Mona looked at the information on the computer with a serious face and said in a deep voice:


    ��The SWAT team is expected to arrive at the target area and meet us in three minutes.��


    ��Good.��


    ? Luo An nodded with satisfaction, drove the car like a snake and overtook a passerby. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly asked:


    ��How far is the target area from the sea and ports?��


    ?Mona was stunned for a moment, quickly tapped the keyboard a few times, and replied:


    ��It takes less than five minutes to drive to the sea in a straight line, and it takes eight to ten minutes to drive to the port.��


    As soon as he finished speaking, Luo An followed up with the order:


    ��Michelle, contact the law enforcement personnel at the port and send them the photos of Vassell Vinny and Vernon, explain the relevant situation, and ask them to be alert.��


    ��OK.�� Michelle in the back seat nodded and agreed to do it decisively. Chenelle beside her frowned slightly when she saw this. Just as she was about to speak, Mona��s face suddenly changed and she said loudly:


    ��Luo An, as soon as two patrol policemen set up a temporary checkpoint, a car appeared and rushed through the traffic jam. They failed to stop each other!��


    Luo An��s expression remained unchanged and he asked:


    ��Can you see the driver��s face clearly?��


    "Um��"


    Mona''s fingers danced rapidly on the keyboard, and a crackling keyboard sound sounded. After a few seconds, she said with an ugly face:


    ��I��m sorry, that driver was already prepared, and the surveillance equipment on the highway couldn��t illuminate the other person��s face.


    ?However, the earliest location of this car that rushed through the jam was just outside the eastern edge of the target area! "


    The so-called target area is the villa area where Luo An and the others are planning to arrest Vassell Vinny and others. Because that area has not yet been fully developed, many locations do not have complete monitoring equipment, making it an ideal hiding place. .


    At the next intersection, Luo An turned the car around and asked:


    ��If the car rushing to hit the truck goes along that road...��


    ��If you keep walking along that road, you will find the pier you mentioned before, Luo An!��


    ??? Before Luo An could tell all the questions, Mona gave the answer first. After hearing this, Luo An immediately ordered:


    ��Contact the SWAT team and ask them to divide their forces and move forward.


    Go all the way to the original target area and all the way to the seaside pier! "


    "clear!"


    ?Mona immediately contacted the SWAT team. Chenelle, Lacey, and Winslow in the back seat all began to carefully check the equipment. There was a moment of solemnity in the car, and the air was very quiet.


    ?Several cars were speeding on the road with their own goals in mind. Luo An looked at the map and decisively chose to take a shortcut and go straight to the dock. Soon he saw the car that had passed through the traffic jam and was being chased by the patrol police.


    ??Mona simply asked the patrol officer a few questions, and suddenly said excitedly:


    ��The patrol officer just caught up with a car at close range. There were three people in that car, and two of them were indeed Vassell Vinny and Vernon!��


    ��Very well, Winslow, Chenelle, get ready.��


    ? Luo An frowned slightly and silently stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The speed of the mpv suddenly increased.


    On the other side, in the car at the front, Herman was sitting in the passenger seat with his hands cuffed. The driver was Goldtooth Vernon, while Vassell-Vinney was sitting in the back seat holding a pistol and carefully observing the back of the car.


    ?Seeing an MPV quickly overtaken the police car and heading towards him, Vassell-Venni looked gloomy, turned his head and said loudly:


    ��Vernon, drive faster!��


    ��I almost stepped on the gas tank with my foot!��


    Vernon also saw the MPV through the rearview mirror, and was also very anxious, but there were many cars on the road at this time, and he could not increase the speed to the maximum.


    ��These **** police!��


    Vernon cursed a few times in a low voice. Seeing that the MPV behind him was getting closer and closer to him, he turned the steering wheel to pass a car and said loudly:


    ��Boss, otherwise we...��


    boom!


    Before Vernon could finish his words, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and blood instantly covered the steering wheel and the glass in front of the driving position. Before Vernon could react, he felt that the world suddenly became extremely dark.


    The shooter, Vassell Vinny, had no expression on his face. He reached out to control the steering wheel, unbuckled Vernon''s seat belt, stuffed two grenades into him, then opened the driver''s door and pushed Vernon''s body out. , and got into the driving position.


    �O


    ??The body fell to the ground and rolled several times. A passerby''s car behind was startled and subconsciously turned the steering wheel to avoid it. As soon as it reached the side of the body, two explosions suddenly erupted!


    Boom��


    Boom��


    ?The center of gravity of the passerby''s car was already unstable due to the sudden turn. The moment the grenade exploded, it flipped over and fell to the ground. The other two cars behind were unable to dodge and collided with each other and rear-ended each other.


    Bang! Bang!


    ?Parts were scattered all over the scene. The young man and woman in one of the cars were not seriously injured. The two were yelling and preparing to get out of the car. When they looked up, they saw a **** and severed arm on the broken front windshield.


    ��Ahhhh���� x2


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 839： pier, dock

    Chapter 839 Pier, dock


    ?Two grenades exploded, and Vernon was everywhere in an instant. The young couple screamed in fear because of their broken arms. Some people in the other two cars were frightened and vomited, and some even rolled their eyes and fainted.


    In the front car, Hermann, who was sitting on the passenger seat and witnessed the whole process, was stunned, and the smile on his face completely disappeared. He asked in disbelief:


    "What''s going on with you? Isn''t Vernon one of your men? Why did you kill him?"


    ?Wasser-Vinny stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on the glass and said casually:


    ��He is too heavy.��


    ?Herman��s eyebrows jumped when he heard this. Vassell Vinny looked back at him and asked quietly:


    "has a problem?"


    ����


    ?Herman stared at Vassell Vinny for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed:


    ��You are indeed a madman.��


    ����


    ��The person in that car definitely has a mental problem!��


    In the MPV not far behind, Winslow and others were also startled by the sudden murder and corpse dumping.


    ?The other party is simply planning to use explosions to cause traffic chaos, prevent them from tracking them, and extend their escape time.


    ?The purpose can be seen at a glance, but the means are really ruthless.


    ��Mona, contact the patrol police and ask them to call a few more people to deal with the explosion scene.��


    Luo An''s face turned slightly cold. While giving the order, he decisively turned the steering wheel and drove the car into the opposite lane. He weaved against the traffic flow for a few seconds to bypass the blocked car accident scene, and then returned to the highway to catch up.


    ??The patrol officers behind slowly parked their car at the location of the accident. On the one hand, they were dealing with the scene to rescue people. On the other hand, they needed to move out of the way quickly. The SWAT troop carrier was also rushing over.


    ??The killings, body dumping and grenade explosions did cause some trouble for Luo An and others, and the two sides were forced to keep a certain distance.


    ??Wasser and Vinny were the first to arrive at the dock. Before the dock staff could react, Wassell and Vinny stepped on the accelerator to the bottom to break through the blockade and drove the car to the dock not far away.


    ?Ten seconds later, the MPV rushed into the port. As soon as Luo An and others arrived at the dock, a beautiful two-story white motorboat rushed out of the dock and headed towards the distant sea at high speed.


    ��The guy who grew up eating shit!��


    ��Sonof better than eating!��


    Chenelle looked very ugly when she saw this scene. Winslow and Lacey even cursed. Mona immediately turned around and prepared to walk in the direction of the port staff, saying:


    ��I��m going to find a boat right now!��


    ��I��m going to contact the Coast Guard!��


    ?Michelle hurriedly prepared to find someone for help. At this moment, Luo An frowned slightly and said in a serious voice:


    "Wait a moment!"


    ?Mona and Michelle made a move:


    "What''s wrong?"


    Lacie, Chenelle and Winslow also looked puzzled, and all turned to look at Roan.


    Luo An didn''t explain much. He just took out the pistol from his waist and turned on the safety. He waved his hands to make a tactical gesture to tell a few people to be silent and lower their voices. Then he bent down and walked quickly towards the other side of the dock.


    Lacey and the others looked at each other, and quickly thought of something and became energetic. They quickly took out their weapons and followed Luo An silently.


    ?This pier is very large. In addition to a bunch of small motorboats and sailboats for tourists to play, there are also many medium-sized yachts docked not far away on the other side, and there is even a large ship docked further away.


    ??Luo An walked forward quickly, followed closely by Lacey and the others. They quickly ran to an open area with no ships. The double-decker white motorboat just left the port and entered the sea from here.


    Except for various ships, the area was deserted and very quiet. Luo An''s expression remained unchanged, and he gestured for Winslow, Lacey and Michelle to move forward from the left and outflank a yacht not far away, while he led the others. Nell and Mona rushed from the right side.


    Winslow didn��t ask, nodded and accepted the order to lead Lacey and Michelle to set off quickly. Everyone jumped over the sailboat and quickly surrounded the target yacht. Just as they were preparing to approach slowly, two grenades suddenly flew out from the yacht.


    ��Escape!��


    ��Get down!��


    Winslow''s pupils shrank and he quickly shouted that there was a grenade. Luo An also ordered everyone to avoid. He planned to take out the grenade to fight back, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he sensed something, so he had to stop and protect himself with everyone.


    һ


    ??Orange-red fire flashed, and the grenade exploded and instantly broke the mast of a nearby sailboat. The sparks flickered and quickly ignited the sail.


    Fortunately, no one in the special investigation team was injured. Luo An shouted loudly:


    ��Wasser Vinny, you are surrounded!��


    ��Good evening, everyone!��


    As soon as Luo An finished speaking, a shout came from the yacht''s plywood position, and then three figures walked out one after the other.


    ?At this time, the clock reached 10:20 pm, and most of the lights had been turned off, but the situation on the deck could still be seen clearly with those small lights.


    I saw a young and beautiful woman who looked less than thirty years old, and a white man with a big belly and a Mediterranean hairstyle who looked to be in his fifties, walking in the front with a frightened face and a trembling body.


    Neither of them wore much clothing. The woman even wore only a shirt on her upper body, and the center point was clearly visible. The man only wore a pair of large shorts on his lower body. It was not difficult to guess what the two were doing before.


    ??Wasser Vinny held two pistols against the backs of the two men''s heads, and hid his whole body behind them. He smiled and asked:


    ��Can you introduce yourself? I still don��t know who the person who wants to arrest me is.��


    ��We are the FBI.��


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    ��You can call me Roan Greenwood.��


    "Roan Greenwood, such a familiar name..."


    Behind the two of them, Vasseur Vinny frowned slightly. After thinking carefully for a few seconds, his expression changed and he asked:


    ��Are you the Roan Greenwood from Washington, D.C.?!��


    ��If the FBI headquarters in Washington didn��t have the same name, it would be me.��


    ??Luo An chuckled, calmly waved his hand to signal Winslow and Chenelle to go back, and then asked:


    ��Why, have you heard of it?��


    "certainly!"


    Wasser Vinny showed a slightly excited smile on his face and said:


    ��An old friend of mine often said the name of Team Leader Luo An, which makes my ears almost go numb.


    He is a killer of the "Skull Flower" organization. Because of you, the leader of Luo An, he was forced to lose his job and could not afford his pension, so he had to do odd jobs here and there.


    We had a drink together not long ago. He wanted to kill you in his dreams, but he didn��t dare. It��s a pity that you scared him out of his wits. "


    Winslow and Chenelle came back quickly, shaking their heads with ugly expressions. Luo An��s expression did not change and he continued to laugh:


    ��It��s not a pity. At least you let me know about it and know that there is another killer who hates me.


    You can tell me the identity of that guy later, and I will go have a good chat with him and help him untie his knot. "


    ��I like your humor, Team Leader Luo An.��


    ?Wasser Vinny on the deck laughed loudly, and then said:


    ��So, Team Leader Luo An is not going to let me go today?��


    "What do you think?"


    Luo An asked back. At this moment, the lights suddenly brightened in the distance, and the SWAT team, coast guard, and several patrol officers all appeared and ran quickly towards here.


    ??Seeing a group of figures rushing towards me in the distance, the expression on Vasseur-Venni''s face remained unchanged. He chose to ignore the others and asked with a smile:


    ��Leader Luo An, may I ask how you found out that I was actually here instead of leaving on that motorboat?��

 Chapter 840： Arrests

    Chapter 840: Arresting people


    At 10:30 pm, Charleston Port, a shipyard.


    At this time, the area was brightly lit, and a medium-sized yacht was docked in the center of the dock.


    ? There were a group of people standing in front and on both sides of the yacht. More than 30 people from the SWAT team, coast guard, and special investigation team were all holding weapons and staring at the plywood on the second floor of the yacht with solemn faces.


    ??On the second deck, there was a man and a woman in ragged clothes, with pale faces and trembling bodies.


    ??A man hid behind the two of them, flashing his pistol from time to time, with a very calm smile on his face, not paying attention to the people below the yacht at all.


    Wasser-Vinny only had Roan in his eyes, and he asked with a smile:


    ��Leader Luo An, how did you find out that I didn��t leave on that motorboat?��


    ??Luo An chuckled. He had never turned off the "emotional perception" in his mind while driving and had firmly remembered the emotional fluctuations of Vassell Vinny.


    When the MPV arrived at the dock, the white motorboat speeding away was indeed very eye-catching, making people subconsciously think that Vassell Vinny had already sailed away.


    Winslow and Lacey both made this judgment. Only Luoan discovered familiar emotional fluctuations not far away with his "emotional perception", and thus concluded that the white motorboat was a deception to attract their attention.


    ?But there was no need to explain these words to Vassell-Vinni, so Roan smiled and replied:


    ��You can take a guess.��


    ����


    Wasser Vinny on the second-floor plywood twitched the corner of his mouth, and after a moment of silence he changed the question:


    ��Leader Luo An, how about we talk about it?��


    ��What do you want to talk about?��


    ��Tell me how you found me����


    Vassell Vinny asked a few questions and started asking Luo An. While Luo An was answering, he quietly made a few gestures to Mona and Lacey. Mona and Lacey silently nodded and retreated behind everyone. The figure slowly disappeared.


    ?After a few words, Cheniel''s expression suddenly changed, she walked quickly to Luo An and whispered:


    ��Team leader, this guy Vassell Vinny is stalling for time.��


    ��That��s right! Don��t forget the other person!��


    Michelle��s face also changed slightly, and she walked quickly to Luo An and said:


    ��Previous surveillance video showed that there were three people in the car driven by Wassell Vinny.


    Golden Tooth Vernon has been killed and thrown out of the car. Besides Vassell Vinny, there is another guy! "


    "etc."


    Winslow also reacted at this time, his face changed drastically:


    ��That white motorboat just now was driven away by that guy, right?


    ??Wasser-Vinny keeps asking questions now, I''m afraid he is stalling for that guy''s time! "


    ��The coast guard has gone to pursue the motorboat.��


    Roan waved his hands to signal the others not to panic. Chenelle looked anxious and was about to continue saying something when Vassell Vinny on the second deck of the yacht shouted again:


    ��Leader Luo An! Answer my question quickly!


    Otherwise I will shoot! Anyway, there are two people here. If one dies, the other will remain! "


    ��Don��t worry, Mr. Vassell-Venney.��


    Roan replied loudly, then pulled Cheniel and whispered a few words quickly in her ear. When Cheniel nodded and left quickly, Roan asked:


    ��What did you ask just now?��


    ��How did you find out about me!��


    ?Wasser Vinny on the deck shouted loudly:


    ��In other words, who betrayed me! Who did you get the news from?��


    ��I��m sorry, based on the clues I��ve gotten so far, it seems like no one has betrayed you.��


    ??Luo An glanced at Chenier who was far away, and when she saw her nodding slightly, Luo An chuckled, raised his hand and said loudly:


    ��As for how I found you...you��ll know when you turn around!��


    "What?"


    ?Vasser Vinny was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, Luo An''s raised right hand suddenly swung down.


    boom!


    ??A gunshot suddenly rang out from a distance, and the bullets traveled straight in the air. Vassell Vinny felt a sudden sharp pain, and his arm swayed down uncontrollably. ��Fu-k!��


    Vassell Vinny subconsciously cursed. At the same time, the next second he lowered his arm, before the surrounding SWAT members and coast guard members could react, Luo An suddenly rushed forward like a cheetah, leaped forward and grabbed him directly. The railing next to the yacht''s deck.


    Then he pulled hard with his arms and stepped down hard with his feet. Luo An flipped directly onto the deck of the yacht like a monkey climbing a tree.


    A set of movements was so smooth and fast that everyone around them was shocked. In just a blink of an eye, Luo An ran from the ground to the yacht. After reacting, Winslow perked up and rushed out immediately, shouting loudly. shouted:


    "start to act!"


    ??The surrounding SWAT members and Coast Guard quickly rushed forward with weapons in hand. At the same time, on the second floor plywood, Vassell Vinny also looked at Roan with a ghostly expression on his face.


    ??He only felt the sound of a gunshot, and he was shot in the arm. He just cursed and was about to do something, when he turned his head and saw Luo An suddenly appearing in front of him like a ghost.


    ��Crab special!��


    ?Wasser-Venney quickly turned the direction of his gun and cursed at the same time:


    ��How did you **run up here?!��


    "you guess."


    ??Roan grinned, showing his white teeth. Before Vassell Vinny could completely raise the muzzle of the gun, he instantly moved in front of the opponent, grabbed the pistol with his left hand, and kicked it out with a whip.


    �O


    With a muffled sound, Vassell Vinny''s eyes widened, and he felt an indescribable force coming from his abdomen, unable to resist at all, he flew out.


    ??Vasser Vinny flew out upside down and instantly smashed the dining table on the deck. He wanted to get up, but his expression changed and he quickly covered his abdomen, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "do not move!"


    "Raise your hand!"


    ��Get down! Get down!��


    ?At the same time, Winslow led a group of men onto the deck, and they quickly surrounded Vassell-Venney.


    Facing a pile of black gun muzzles, Vassell Vinny wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Luo An next to him and smiled, then collapsed and lay on the ground, and said calmly:


    ��I want to hire a lawyer.��


    ��There will be this opportunity.��


    Winslow sneered, took out the handcuffs and cuffed Vassell Vinny directly. His movements could not be described as gentle and considerate, but rough and rough. Vassell Vinny grimaced in pain.


    Vassell Vinny, who was directly pulled up from the ground, glared at Winslow fiercely, and then looked at Roan with a meaningful smile:


    ��See you later, Team Leader Luo An.��


    After saying that, without waiting for Luo An to answer, Vassell-Vinney knocked Winslow away hard and took the lead in handcuffs and walked under the yacht.


    Winslow frowned when he saw this scene. Chenelle and Michelle who caught up also had ugly expressions on their faces. Chenelle whispered:


    ��Luo An, I��m afraid this guy has a back-up plan.��


    ��It��s okay, don��t panic, I��ll deal with you as soon as you see it.��


    Roan chuckled and handed the stolen pistol to Winslow. Finally, he looked left and right at the deck and shouted loudly:


    ��Clean up the scene, let��s retreat!��


    ��Understood!��xN


    ?Special investigation team agents and SWAT team responded with a bang, sending people to lead the ragged men and women away together


    ???The person in charge of the coast guard stepped forward and exchanged a few words with Luo An. The two parties communicated briefly for a moment, and then walked off the deck with a smile.


    After a few minutes, the yacht was quickly cleared out and everyone evacuated one after another.


    After another ten minutes, the lights in the distance were turned off, and the area entered darkness again.


    ? Time continued to move forward, and forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, the sea surface behind the yacht fluctuated, and a head slowly appeared.


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 841： another person

    Chapter 841 Another person


    �O


    In the water behind the yacht, a man wearing a jet black diving suit and goggles slowly stretched out his head.


    After waiting for a few more minutes to confirm that there was no sound around, the man felt relieved and slowly swam towards the yacht.


    ? After being in the water for nearly an hour, the man''s physical strength had been exhausted. He struggled to climb onto the yacht, took off the oxygen bottle and collapsed directly on the deck.


    "It refers to Vasseur who raised."


    ??The man rested for a long time, took several deep breaths and finally regained some strength. He whispered a dozen dirty words to Vassell Vinny with an angry face.


    ?A few seconds later, the man seemed to have thought of something for the last time. With a wry smile, he struggled to get up from the deck, preparing to throw the diving suit and other items into the bottom of the sea, and then quietly leave the place according to Vassell-Vinney''s plan.


    ��It��s true that Vassell Vinny has a brain problem, but his IQ is indeed not low.��


    ??The man struggled to change his clothes, pushed the oxygen bottle into the sea, breathed a long sigh of relief, then turned around to prepare to disembark, and whispered to himself:


    ��Let��s go find something to eat first, otherwise I��m afraid I��ll have low blood sugar.��


    ��If you are afraid of hypoglycemia, just eat some candies. I happen to have two here.��


    On the side of the deck, Luo An chuckled, stretched out his hand and handed the man two candies:


    ��One with apple flavor and one with mango flavor, which one do you want?��


    ����


    ??The man stopped walking and froze in place. He turned his head little by little like a puppet, the expression on his face froze, and he stuttered:


    "you you you��"


    "Do not be afraid."


    ?Luo An opened the apple-flavored candy and stuffed it into his mouth, smiled and said:


    ��Aren��t you afraid that you might be bitten by a shark if you stay in the sea?��


    ��You...why are you here?��


    ??The man was Herman in the car. At this time, his eyes looked like he had seen a ghost, and a large amount of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.


    Roan clapped his hands. Mona and Lacey held weapons and walked out from other positions on both sides of the yacht one after another. They looked at Herman expressionlessly.


    ��We��ll discuss this later, don��t panic, Mr. Herman.��


    ? Luo An chuckled, handed the mango-flavored candy to Herman, and said with a smile:


    ��We are good people.��


    ��


    Lacie opened the pistol safety directly.


    ����


    ?Herman��s eyelids twitched. He looked at the smile on Luo An��s face in front of him and took a deep breath to slowly suppress the fear in his heart.


    ?? There are three levels in Wassell-Venney''s plan. The first level is the motorboat that leaves quickly, making noises in the east and west, making people think that they have left by boat.


    The second level is the yacht, which can provide them with a hiding place if something unexpected happens.


    The third layer is the diving suit and oxygen bottle, just in case.


    ??If an accident does occur, Vassell Vinny will come forward to attract attention, and the motorboat can also play the role of attracting attention again. Herman only needs to wait for everything to be over and leave quickly.


    ??Where did Vasseur Vinny have the confidence to think that it would be fine if he was caught? Herman didn''t know. The relationship between the two parties was currently a bit complicated, and Herman had no choice but to accept his plan.


    Despite his displeasure, Herman still had to admit that Vassell-Venney''s plan was layered layer by layer, and the success rate was indeed very high.


    ?Unexpectedly, he bumped into Luo An and the others as soon as he came out.


    Looking at the status of the three people, Herman found that they had obviously been waiting for him for a long time.


    ??Took the candy tremblingly, opened the package and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweetness filled his taste buds and made Herman relax a lot. He swallowed and asked:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, how did you find me?��


    ��You will have a chance to find out later.��


    ? Luo An chuckled, and discovered the other party''s figure from the beginning of his "emotional perception".


    He originally planned to send people directly to catch the opponent in the sea, but seeing the confident expression on Vassell Vinny''s face, Luo An finally decided to let Herman soak for a while to make Vassell Vinny a little happier. minute. Surrounded on three sides, Hermann was a scientist and did not have the fighting skills of a killer or a special soldier, so he had no choice but to raise his hands in a French military salute.


    ??Luo An smiled and patted Herman on the shoulder, very satisfied with his current affairs attitude. After Lacey handcuffed him, Luo An took Herman away and walked away.


    Not far from the road leaving the port, the Coast Guard personnel had already left. The troop carrier of the SWAT team and the MPV driven by Winslow were parked on the roadside waiting.


    Inside the troop carrier, Vassell Vinny, who was surrounded, had a gloomy face. He had a bad premonition from the moment the car stopped here and waited.


    After waiting for a long time, Vassell-Vinney finally couldn''t bear it any longer, turned to look at Cheniere aside, and asked:


    ��Hey, why haven��t you set off yet?��


    Chenelle glanced at Vassell Vinny, sneered and didn''t reply at all.


    ?Wasser Vinny became even more angry when he saw this. Just as he was about to ask again, there was a sudden knock on the door of the troop carrier.


    ??The SWAT team member inside opened the car door, and Luo An stuffed Herman in and said with a smile:


    ��Chenelle, here comes another one, keep an eye on this guy.��


    Chenier nodded and took Herman to the side. Roan turned to look at Vassell Vinny, whose face was as gloomy as water, and said with a smile:


    ��Why do you look so ugly? Are you feeling sick in your stomach?��


    ??Wasser Vinny stared at Luo An with an expressionless face. He was silent for a few seconds. He suddenly smiled and said:


    ��Team Leader Luo An, can you...��


    Snapped-


    Halfway through what Vassell Vinny said, Luo An closed the car door directly.


    ����


    ?Wasser Vinny was so angry that he almost spat out another mouthful of blood.


    ? Mona and Lacey closed the car door, and Roan also got into Winslow��s car:


    ��The mission is successfully completed, drive back!��


    ��OK!��


    The two cars started at the same time and drove slowly into the distance.


    At 1:30 midnight, the group successfully arrived at Columbia City, the capital of South Carolina.


    At the FBI branch building in Columbia City, two cars slowly parked on the side of the road. Luo An and others got out of the car, and Winslow drove to the parking lot. The SWAT team members also took Vassell Vinny and Herman into custody. A troop carrier.


    ��Thank you for your hard work, everyone.��


    Roan smiled and exchanged greetings with several SWAT team members, and agreed to drink together later. Chenelle, Lacey, Mona and Michelle escorted Vassell Vinny and Herman to the building.


    ??In the temporarily borrowed office, Herman and Vassell Vinny were locked in different rooms. As soon as Luo An put down the water glass, Winslow walked over quickly and frowned:


    ��Roan, I just received news that Vassell Vinny��s lawyer will be here soon.��


    ��What?��


    "So fast?"


    Lacie and Michelle were surprised, while Chenelle realized a problem and said solemnly:


    ��We did not notify Vasseur-Venney��s relatives, nor did we release news of the operation, and no one contacted a lawyer.


    ?Then how did this lawyer know that Vassell Vinny had been caught by us? "


    ��Don��t forget the gold-toothed Vernon who was killed by a grenade.��


    Luo An stretched his waist:


    ��This matter has already been in the news. For some people who are interested, it is not difficult to find out that Vassell Vinny was arrested.��


    "damn it."


    ?A few people looked ugly. Winslow cursed in a low voice, and then said:


    ��I said that this guy Vassell Vinny didn��t panic at all, as if he was not the one who was arrested.


    ?Now it seems that the person behind this guy is probably not simple. "


    ?Mona turned to look at Luo An:


    ��What do we do next?��


    ?Luo An raised his hand, yawned, and said softly:


    ��It��s already early in the morning, let��s take a rest first. As for the lawyer, let��s talk about it after we have a good rest.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 842： trial

    Chapter 842 Interrogation


    Seeing that Luo An was not panicked at all, Winslow and Lacey looked at each other, laughed and put down the heavy stone in their hearts. They simply packed up and went to the hotel to rest with Luo An.


    Everyone was really tired after a day of hard work. It was not until about ten o''clock in the morning that the group of people walked into the temporary office again without any hurry.


    Not long after everyone arrived at the office, a white man in a suit, wearing glasses and a neatly slicked back hair who looked to be in his forties walked in.


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    The man smiled and stretched out his hand towards Luo Anshi:


    ��My name is Ilhan, and I am Mr. Vassell-Venney��s lawyer.


    I will be with Mr. Vassell-Venney for the rest of the interrogation process. I hope Team Leader Greenwood doesn��t mind. "


    ??There is indeed a law in the Federation that lawyers accompany suspects for interrogation. Luo An was not surprised by this and just stretched out his hand to shake the other party:


    ��Hello, Lawyer Ilhan.��


    Lawyer Ilhan chuckled and asked:


    ��Then when will we start the interrogation?��


    ��Don��t worry, we still have some work to do.��


    ?Luo An took a deep look at Lawyer Ilhan, then waved his hand and said:


    ��Winslow, treat this lawyer Ilhan well.��


    "no problem."


    Winslow grinned and walked up to Attorney Ilhan:


    ��Please follow me, Mr. Lawyer.��


    ����


    Lawyer Ilhan was half-invited and half-coerced by Winslow and taken to another room far away to wait. Luo An poured a cup of coffee and said:


    "Mona, I remember you found out before that the Vassell-Vinney gang is related to several bank robberies in Georgia, right?"


    ��That��s right.��


    ??Mona added:


    ��The police in Atlanta found many suspicious clues, but could not find the key evidence.��


    ��OK.��


    Luo An thought for a moment and whispered:


    ��Mona, Michelle, please investigate the situation of this lawyer Ilhan, see who are the shareholders of his law firm, and then carefully investigate his interpersonal relationships.��


    "no problem!"


    ?Mona and Michelle took the order and started busy. Lacey raised her hand and asked:


    ��What about me? What do I do?��


    Luo An thought for a while and said:


    ��Lacie, Chenelle, go to Vassell Vinny��s residence and search it carefully to see if you can find anything useful.��


    "OK."


    ??Lacie and Chenelle nodded, simply packed up their things and turned to leave. Luo An was silent for a moment, took out his mobile phone and walked to the corner where the water dispenser was, found a phone number and called it:


    ��Good afternoon, I��m Luo An.��


    ?Time moved forward minute by minute, and soon it went from 10:30 in the morning to 3 o''clock in the afternoon.


    ?Attorney Ilhan has been sitting in the room waiting, but Roan refused to bring Wassell-Vinney to trial.


    ??When Lawyer Ilhan looked for Luo An, he found Luo An slumped on a chair to rest out of boredom. He even yawned when he saw him.


    ����


    ??Lawyer Ilhan was very helpless, but he could not interfere with Luo An''s work without interrogating him, so he could only choose to continue waiting.


    ?Time continued to move forward. At seven o''clock in the evening, lawyer Ilhan left the FBI building and went out to have dinner. As soon as he reached the door of the restaurant, his cell phone suddenly rang.


    ��Hello, Lawyer Ilhan.��


    Luo An on the other end of the phone chuckled:


    "I''m going to interrogate Vassell Vinny. You are his lawyer. You can come with me."


    ����


    ??Lawyer Ilhan''s eyelids jumped. He took several deep breaths to suppress the negative emotions in his heart, left the restaurant and drove back to the FBI branch building.


    ?Twenty minutes later, in the interrogation room, Lawyer Ilhan sat on the same side as Vassell-Vinney, and Roan and Chenelle sat across the interrogation table. Lawyer Ilhan looked at Roan with a displeased look on his face, while Vassell Vinny looked up at the ceiling with a blank expression, not bothering to pay attention to Roan and Chenelle.


    ??Luo An took the coffee and tasted it slowly, not paying attention to lawyer Ilhan''s eyes. Cheniel was arranging the documents by herself, without saying a word. There were four people in the interrogation room, but the air was very quiet.


    A few minutes later, Chenelle finished sorting and nodded to Luo An. Upon seeing this, Luo An put down the coffee cup, took the first document, coughed and said:


    ��Wasser Vinny, did you kill Goldtooth Vernon?��


    Wasser Vinny turned to look at Lawyer Ilhan. Lawyer Ilhan sat upright and said in a solemn voice:


    ��Leader Greenwood, please show me specific evidence.


    My client has the right to refuse to answer such leading questions without evidence. "


    Chenelle frowned. This was why she didn��t like lawyers. She shielded criminals and betrayed their consciences.


    Luo An smiled and seemed unconcerned. He put down the first document, picked up the second document and said:


    ��Wasser Vinny, is anyone else on the counterfeit team alive besides Herman?


    Who is left alive in the treasure hunting team that was hacked by you? How''s Benson doing? Where are others?


    ??Did you start the fire in the warehouse..."


    Luo An asked dozens of questions in a leisurely manner. Some questions were answered by lawyer Ilhan, who still refused to answer because there was no evidence. Some questions were prevaricated by Vassell-Vinney, and he even answered a few "I don''t know" questions. .


    Cheniel''s face became increasingly ugly, but Luo An remained very calm.


    ��That is to say, Benson of the treasure hunting team was severely burned due to the fire, and was shot by Goldtooth Vernon to relieve the pain.


    As for the counterfeit banknote team, two people survived, and one of them was killed by you. Herman was very useful, so you kept him until now. "


    ?Luo An nodded and summarized the answer he had just asked. Vassell Vinny looked at Luo An in disbelief, really not understanding what was going on.


    ??Lawyer Ilhan looked at Vassell Vinny��s expression, and then at Luo An, who had a calm face. His face suddenly became ugly, and he said in a deep voice:


    ��Leader Greenwood, please don��t speak nonsense without evidence. The FBI cannot slander federal people.��


    "There is no slander. Wassell-Venney himself knows whether the matter is true or false."


    Luo An closed the document, turned his gaze to Lawyer Ilhan, and said:


    ��As for you, Mr. Lawyer, breaking the law is not a good thing.��


    Lawyer Ilhan frowned, and just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the interrogation room door. Luo An stood up and opened the door, and two white men in suits and ties walked in.


    ��Hello, Captain Greenwood.��


    ��Hello.��


    ??Luo An smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the two of them and exchanged a few words. The two men in suits did not waste any time. They directly took out an ID and placed it in front of lawyer Ilhan and said:


    ��IRS-CI, Mr. Ilhan Zorro, you have some problems with your financial situation. Please come with us.��


    ��?!��


    ?Lawyer Ilhan stood up instantly, his eyes widening in disbelief:


    "impossible!"


    The two men in suits were too lazy to talk nonsense and directly opened their clothes to reveal the pistols inside:


    ��Please come with us.��


    ����


    ??Lawyer Ilhan was breathing rapidly and his chest was heaving wildly. Suddenly he turned his head and stared at Luo An, and said angrily:


    ��It��s you! Leader Greenwood, you are so...��


    ��Don��t say anything without evidence, Lawyer Ilhan, or I��ll sue you for defamation.��


    ?Luo An smiled, and Lawyer Ilhan was silent for a long time. Finally, he snorted and had to leave the interrogation room with IRS-CI.


    ??Wasser Vinny looked at this scene in surprise. He didn''t realize it until Lawyer Ilhan closed the door and left. Just as he was about to speak, Luo An smiled and said:


    ��Wasser Vinny, Herman has already explained everything, how do you choose?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 843： The story behind the case

    Chapter 843 The story behind the case-Part 1


    ?Eight o''clock in the evening, Columbia City, FBI branch building, an interrogation room.


    ��Herman has explained everything, how do you choose?��


    Hearing Luo An��s question and remembering the scene in which Lawyer Ilhan was taken away just now, Vassell Vinny��s face changed slightly, but he quickly thought of something again and snorted coldly:


    ��To be honest, Team Leader Luo An, your joke is very boring.��


    ??Luo An chuckled and shook his head slightly, patted Cheniel on the shoulder, stopped talking, and left the interrogation room directly.


    �O


    ??The moment the door to the interrogation room was closed, Vasseur-Venni''s face instantly became gloomy, and beads of sweat slowly formed on his temples.


    At the same time, in the corridor outside the door of the interrogation room, Winslow and Lacey looked puzzled. Seeing Luo An and the others walking out, Lacey immediately came up and asked in a low voice:


    ��Luo An, what happened to those two IRS-CI agents just now?��


    ��Both detectives said there were financial issues with lawyer Ilhan.��


    ??Luo An smiled, but Lacey was still full of doubts. At this moment, Mona walked over from the office area, thrust a folder into Lacey, and said with a smile:


    ��Luo An asked me to investigate Lawyer Ilhan��s interpersonal relationships before, and I found some clues.��


    Lacie opened the folder and found that Lawyer Ilhan''s interpersonal relationships were very complicated. Ordinary people, company bosses, and criminals of all kinds... all had his friends.


    ??Lawyer Ilhan also knows many people in the business and political circles. The difference is that most of his friends in the business and political circles are people from the upper middle class and below the rich level.


    ��These people��s status is not low, but they are still far from the top bosses.��


    Michelle also came over at this time, and she explained seriously:


    ��Under normal circumstances, Lawyer Ilhan has such a wide network of contacts. If he meets friends again through friends and works hard to cater for a few years, he should be able to reach a higher level soon.


    ?But Lawyer Ilhan has none of it. He has never expanded his network in the past ten years. This is not consistent with common sense at all. "


    Winslow''s eyes moved slightly. He suddenly remembered a case he had experienced several years ago, so he guessed in a low voice:


    ��There is someone behind Lawyer Ilhan, is this guy a white glove?��


    ��It should be said that he is the guy responsible for cleaning the gloves and improving the life cycle of the gloves.��


    ??Luo An took the folder in Lacey''s hand, turned to the last page and found a circled name, and said:


    ��Harrison Hamid, an ordinary billionaire.


    After cross-reference, it was found that he had no direct connection with Lawyer Ilhan, but as long as he took a few detours, every time Lawyer Ilhan took over the case, he would always be more or less connected to him.


    ??The same goes for this guy Vassell Vinny. "


    "What?"


    Lacie was a little surprised:


    ��Wasser Vinny is a bank robber, how can he be associated with a billionaire?��


    ��It��s really good.��


    Michelle found another folder and handed it to Lacey, whispering:


    ��The bank robberies in Georgia happened at different banks.


    ??But if you compare the accounts of these banks, you will find that these banks are related to the private equity funds of certain subsidiaries under Harrison Hamid, a certain parent company. "


    "Forehead��"


    ??Lacie frowned. She felt that Michelle''s words were a bit convoluted. She thought carefully for a few seconds before clarifying her thoughts, and then said in surprise:


    ��Are you saying that the reason why Vassell Vinny robbed the bank was actually to help Harrison Hamid, a billionaire, clean up his accounts?��


    Michelle looked at Luo An, who shook his head slightly:


    ��It is unlikely that the accounts will be settled, there should be other stories behind it.��


    Lacie was stunned for a moment:


    "what story?"


    Luo An spread his hands:


    ��I don��t know.�� Lacey��s head was suddenly filled with black lines. Luo An chuckled, put the folder back into her hand, and said:


    ��Because I didn��t know, I called IRS-CI.��


    ??IRS-CI, the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, has the highest priority among law enforcement agencies across the federal government.


    Wasser Vinny is a bank robber who is connected to the rich man Harrison Hamid. It sounds like the things behind him are complicated and difficult to investigate.


    In this case, it is better to contact IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division) directly. They are not interested in the case itself, but the money in the case is very worthy of their attention.


    ??IRS-CI has the power to arrest people first and provide evidence later. Even if Harrison Hamid is a rich man, he cannot resist the opponent openly.


    ��There��s no need for Vassell Vinny to rush here. Once the results of the investigation from Lawyer Ilhan come out, he can solve the problem smoothly here.��


    Facing the tough-minded Vassell Vinny, Luo An decisively chose to go off-site and activated the secret skills of human connections and asked IRS-CI supervisor Elmer for help.


    Supervisor Elmer was also very happy about this. There is no doubt that Luo An gave him another big achievement.


    ??Lacie''s mouth twitched. Vassell Vinny in the interrogation room clearly knew nothing, but still felt that I had the advantage. In fact, Luo An had already arranged everything...


    After a moment of silence, Lacey then asked:


    ��So, what do we do next?��


    ��Next, let��s go talk to Herman.��


    Luo An stretched his waist and said with a faint smile:


    ��He hasn��t been soaked in sea water for long, and his brain should not be damaged yet, so he can distinguish between good and bad, pros and cons.��


    ����


    ��I say, I say everything.��


    ?Five minutes later, in another interrogation room, Luo An and Cheniel had just sorted out the documents. Before they could raise their heads to ask, Herman said with a serious face and very proactively:


    ��The guy with the gold teeth in his mouth was killed by Vassell Vinny.��


    Chenelle was stunned by Herman''s cooperative attitude. Luo An laughed, reached out and poured Herman a cup of coffee, and then asked:


    ��What happened to that fire?��


    ?Herman paused while taking the coffee and was silent for a few seconds. He took a sip of coffee and said:


    ��I started that fire.��


    ?Herman said the fire was a last resort.


    ?Before the fire ignited, Herman and several of his men had been living a boring life in a warehouse on the outskirts of Atlanta, eating, drinking, relaxing, and printing several large cardboard boxes of counterfeit money every day.


    ��Susan is my�� um, friend.��


    Facing Cheniel��s somewhat contemptuous look, Herman smiled awkwardly and then said:


    ��More than a month before the fire, when Susan went out to buy food, two drunk guys came up to make trouble.��


    ??The drunk guys mentioned by Herman were exactly two people in the treasure hunting team.


    ??Herman happened to go out with Susan to buy food that day. When he saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward to stop the situation. The two drunkards got angry and started to fight, and Herman fought with the two of them.


    In the middle of the fight, someone came out to start a fight. The other person was the alcoholic boss named Benson.


    Compared to the two drunkards, Benson had a much better attitude. He apologized a few times and led the people away. Herman was taken back to the warehouse by Susan. When he was packing his things, he suddenly discovered that the fake goods he used to show to customers when doing business. The money was actually lost.


    ?Herman immediately realized that the counterfeit banknotes might have been taken away by Benson and others, and hurriedly drove back to the location where they were fighting, only to find that Benson and others had already left, and Herman could not find them at all.


    ??Herman planned to lead everyone to evacuate the warehouse, but Susan and others refused because the equipment was very large and difficult to move. It would be very troublesome and time-consuming to restart work in a new place.


    ��I should have taken them away by force.��


    ?Herman smiled bitterly:


    ��If quality control is not strict, something will happen. This saying is indeed true.��

 Chapter 844： The story behind the case

    Chapter 844 The story behind the case-Part 2


    When making counterfeit banknotes, the most important thing is quality control.


    Whether it is electronic printing, paper, ink, or watermarking, we must not be careless or sloppy, we must do our best.


    ?These are the technical aspects of making counterfeit banknotes. In addition, the location of the counterfeit banknote factory, the personnel who make counterfeit banknotes, the plan for selling counterfeit banknotes, and the identity of the buyers of counterfeit banknotes...


    ?These require careful consideration and investigation. You cannot be careless at every step. Only by being cautious and careful can you get to the end. These are also quality control.


    Considering that only one counterfeit banknote was lost, and that Susan and other subordinates opposed the relocation of the factory, Herman thought for a long time and finally chose to compromise.


    Facts have proven that lax quality control can cause big problems.


    ?Benson didn��t recognize the twenty-dollar bill as a super counterfeit at first, so he took it out for shopping.


    In the end, it was the banknote detector in the mall that found something wrong with the twenty dollars, and only then did Benson react.


    ??Coupled with the fact that Susan and others went out to buy things every once in a while, and mysteriously did not go out at all other times, and their schedules were very regular, Benson instantly realized that there was something wrong with the warehouse.


    ? Based on the total amount of food Susan purchased, Benson guessed that there were about 10 people in the warehouse.


    He originally planned to find time to find out, but Leon said it was time to go out to sea to hunt for treasure. Benson had to put the matter behind him for the time being and follow the fleet to sea.


    Benson and others'' treasure hunt went very smoothly. It didn''t take long before they found the sunken SS Central America, and even managed to get some gold coins and gold nuggets from it.


    Because the ship was not large enough and equipped not fully equipped to continue diving, Benson, Leon and others decided to temporarily return to the shore and find a larger ship to go out to sea to fish for gold.


    As soon as Benson, Leon and others docked, the covert behavior of some people in the team holding boxes attracted some people''s attention.


    A technical worker took advantage of the situation and asked some information from a crew member.


    ?Three and a half minutes later, most of Atlanta��s underground world knew about this incident.


    ?A certain crew member: ������


    ?? They robbed a bank some time ago and the Vasseur-Venni team, who had nothing to do recently, also learned the news. After some discussion, they decisively chose to make extra money, and set out that night to start a crime-fighting operation.


    Most of the treasure hunting team was slaughtered without haste. Only Benson, Leon, and Anatoly, who was not mentally normal, survived.


    The three of them fled all the way. Seeing that he could not escape his pursuers, Benson chose to drag the others into the water and persuaded Leon to drive the car towards the warehouse in the suburbs.


    ?Benson remembered that there were about ten people there, and they should be able to delay some time.


    ��Benson and Leon are **** raised by two cousins.��


    At this point, Herman��s face was full of anger, he hammered the interrogation table hard, and said angrily:


    ��We were working overtime to print counterfeit money, and before we could react, they drove into the factory with a group of people.


    We fired wildly and fought back, and there was a fierce battle. Susan and the others all died in that battle, and Vassell and Vinnie also suffered heavy losses..."


    ?In order to prevent the news of the counterfeit banknotes from leaking out, Hermann had no choice but to light a fire and prepare to burn everything.


    ?The fire devoured the counterfeit banknotes and turned into a raging flame, quickly burning 90% of the items in the warehouse. Months of hard work by Herman and others were destroyed in one fell swoop.


    ��I thought at the time, this was the most tragic thing in the world.��


    ?Herman sighed deeply and whispered:


    ��I never expected that Vassell Vinny and Goldtooth Vernon were fine, and they even held us hostage.��


    ?There were only five survivors of the fire:


    ?Wasser-Vinney, Goldtooth Vernon, Benson, Herman, and another helper from Herman''s counterfeiting team.


    ?Benson''s body was severely burned, and Vasseur Vinny was very kind. After asking for clues about Anatoly, he raised his pistol to help him eliminate the pain.


    As for the helper of the counterfeit banknote team, he was seriously injured in the previous gun battle. Anatoly was kind-hearted and did not want to see the other person suffer, so he took the gun again and sent the other person into a deep sleep.


    ?At this point, the three-party melee ended, and the only survivors were Herman, Vassell Vinny, Goldtooth Vernon, and Anatoly, who was not very mentally normal.


    ?Among them, Anatoly took a bag of counterfeit banknotes and gold coins and followed Benson''s instructions before his death, all the way to New York. Vassell Vinny and Goldtooth Vernon needed to watch over Herman and it was inconvenient to arrest him, so they used some means to find Klaus and asked him to lead a team to capture him.


    After Anatoly arrived in New York, he showed Benson''s half-brother Campbell-Hank the counterfeit money and gold coins.


    ?Addict Campbell-Hank hid the gold coins, but used counterfeit bills to deceive others into buying a lot of flour, and sold the remaining counterfeit bills to gangsters.


    Luo An and others destroyed the gang and accidentally discovered counterfeit banknotes, and then began to investigate...


    ?Chenelle, who was recording the words of the interrogation, nodded slightly. At this point, the context of the entire case was clear, and the development of things was clear and clear.


    "And one more thing."


    Roan shook his head slightly, clapped his hands to attract Chenier and Herman, who bowed their heads in silence, and asked:


    ��You just said that after Campbell-Hank and Goldtooth Vernon captured you, they never killed you.


    Even in the face of your provocation, Campbell-Hank suppressed his anger. What''s going on? "


    ??If Campbell-Hank wanted to salvage gold, there was no need to have such a good temper towards Herman. Anatoly, who had mental problems, was his best candidate to recruit.


    ��That fellow Campbell-Hank wants me to make counterfeit money for him.��


    ?Herman sneered, not concealing this aspect, and replied:


    ��I don��t know the purpose of this guy making counterfeit banknotes.


    ??However, this guy has asked many times how big the difference is between the counterfeit bills I made and the real ones, and whether the fake ones can be confused with the real ones. He even asked me if the bank can detect it..."


    ?Hearing Herman��s description later, Cheniel frowned, and suddenly her face changed slightly as she thought of a certain word: Substituting one thing for another!


    ??Thinking again of the rich man Harrison Hamid... Chenille swallowed her curse, leaned into Roan''s ear and whispered:


    ��Roan, this guy Herman is not going to exchange fake banknotes for real ones.��


    ��It��s possible.��


    ? Luo An smiled and used counterfeit money to create a plan to rob a bank by substituting elements. It sounded a bit fanciful, but if there was help from an insider, the success rate was actually not low.


    Without getting too entangled in this topic, Luo An briefly asked for a moment to find out some details of the case, and then led Cheniel out of the interrogation room.


    ��How is it? Did Herman say anything?��


    As soon as the two walked out of the interrogation room, Lacey quickly came up to her. Luo An thrust the interrogation record into her hand, then walked to Mona and asked:


    ��What��s going on with the IRS? Have you called?��


    ��Director Elmer did call you just now.��


    ??Mona handed the phone to Luo An and said:


    ��But he didn��t give any specific details, he just said that you should give him a call back when you have time.��


    ��OK.��


    Roan took the phone and walked aside. At the same time, Winslow also approached Lacey and asked with a smile:


    ��What��s in the interrogation record?��


    ��Luo An is very good, and that guy Herman said everything that needs to be said.��


    Lacie replied casually, scrolled through it for a few seconds and asked:


    ��Chenelle, where is the gold?��


    Chenelle spread her hands:


    ��The ones at the bottom of the sea are still at the bottom of the sea. As for the few pieces that were fished out, only Campbell-Hank knows where they are.��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 845： Follow-up of the case, return to the Special Administrative Region

    Chapter 845 Case follow-up, return to the Special Administrative Region


    "Pity."


    ?Hearing Chenelle��s explanation, Lacey handed the interrogation record to Winslow and said boredly:


    ��I have never seen the kind of gold nuggets fished out from sunken ships at the bottom of the sea.��


    ��I haven��t seen it either.��


    Chenelle picked up the coffee and took a sip. She was also very interested in it.


    ?Winslow glanced at the interrogation record a few times and then put it aside and said with a smile:


    ��I heard that if that kind of gold nugget were put at auction, the price would be much higher than the price of the gold itself.��


    "normal."


    Michelle next to me came over and said with a smile:


    ��After all, that kind of gold nugget has been at the bottom of the sea for more than ten years. In addition to the properties of gold itself, it also has the added value of cultural relics and antiques. Many rich people like this.��


    Lacey and the others laughed and started discussing the matter of shipwreck gold. Mona soon joined in. Roan stood in the distance and made a phone call. The person on the other end of the phone was Director Elmer of the IRS.


    Director Elmer was very happy. Luo An gave him another big gift package this time and said with a smile:


    ��We checked on Harrison Hamid and there are indeed big problems with his financial situation.


    ??And the lawyer Ilhan, his identity can basically be determined, he is the guy Harrison Hamid keeps outside to do things for him. "


    ?Luo An smiled and said:


    ��That way, you��ll be busy for a few more days.��


    ��Is there any day when the IRS is not busy?��


    Supervisor Elmer laughed, he was usually busy with small things, he didn��t have much money, and he didn��t have much motivation to do them.


    ?This time Harrison Hamid is obviously a big fish, and Director Elmer hopes to have this level of busy work every day.


    After chatting for a while, Director Elmer took the initiative to hang up the phone.


    As for the bank robber Campbell-Hank, Director Elmer did not ask Roan for it.


    IRS-CI has the power to arrest people first and find evidence later. Director Elmer is sure that he can lead people to find evidence directly on Harrison Hamid. Bank robber Campbell Hank is of little use to him.


    Luo An just needs Campbell-Hank to complete the follow-up work. Director Elmer plans to wait for them to find evidence from Harrison Hamid, so he will reciprocate and send the relevant information to Luo An to help Luo An give Campbell-Hank Convicted.


    Looking at the phone, Luo An was silent for a few seconds and thought about it, then found a phone number and called it again:


    ��Good evening, sir.��


    ��Good evening, Roan.��


    ??Trick Kennedy''s laughter came over the phone. Hearing that Luo An had led a team to solve the case, he was surprised for a few seconds and his laughter suddenly became more cheerful. Luo An briefly described the case and finally said:


    ��Sir, although most of the super counterfeit banknotes made by Herman were burned by the fire, a small part still survived and was picked up by many people.


    ?These counterfeit bills are currently being used in Georgia, South Carolina and other places, covering a very wide area. "


    ��I��ll just take care of it.��


    ?Trick Kennedy understood that Luo An had no authority in this area, so he smiled and said that he would send someone to handle the follow-up work in this area.


    ��OK, thank you, sir.��


    After chatting for a while, Trick Kennedy hung up the phone. Luo An stretched his waist with a smile, turned around and walked towards Lacey and others.


    ��What are you talking about?��


    ��Talk about the sinking of the Central America.��


    ??Mona brought Luo An a cup of coffee and said with a smile:


    ��Lessie is very interested in the gold in the sunken ship and wants to rent a ship to salvage it.��


    ��It��s a good dream.��


    ?Luo An took the coffee and smiled and said:


    ��But technical problems are not so easy to solve.��


    ?There are countless sunken ships on the seabed of the world, and probably not many can be salvaged. The pressure of seawater and the complex environment of the seabed are all difficulties that are difficult for humans to solve at this stage.


    ?A few people talked about gold for a while. Michelle suddenly slapped his head and asked:


    ��Roan, what about this guy Campbell-Hank?��


    Campbell-Hank was still sitting proudly in the interrogation room, as if he had everything under control and didn''t panic at all.??????��?x5


    In the corridor, Chenelle and Mona were speechless when they saw Campbell-Hank''s appearance through the glass.


    Luo An smiled, waved his hand and said:


    ��Winslow, Lacey, send the man to the temporary holding cell.��


    Just wait for IRS-CI Supervisor Elmer to find the key evidence from the rich Harrison Hamid, and the special investigation team can focus on dealing with the Campbell-Hank murder case, bank robbery and other other cases. case.


    "no problem."


    Winslow and Lacey looked at each other and smiled, opened the interrogation room door and walked in. Without saying too much nonsense to Campbell-Hank, they directly pulled this guy out of the office area.


    Over the next few days, the special investigation team worked together to deal with the follow-up of the case. After Michelle completed some procedural matters, Luo An led everyone on the plane back to Washington, D.C.


    ?At 5:30 in the afternoon, Luo An opened the door of the villa, changed his shoes and flopped down on the sofa, with a happy face:


    ��It��s really comfortable at home.��


    ��Get out of the way.��


    ??Mona patted Luo An''s **** and asked him to make a place for her, then threw the pillow aside, and like Luo An, she leaned forward and buried herself in the sofa:


    ��You��re right, it��s still comfortable at home.��


    ?While on a business trip, the living conditions of the members of the special investigation team were not bad, and they almost never left various hotels.


    ?But after all, a hotel suite is not as comfortable as home, and the case is complicated. Most of the time, the members of the special investigation team have no regular rest time. Staying up late is normal, and sometimes even taking a nap in the car is considered a rest.


    ?At this time, the case was over, and everyone in the special investigation team finally got some rest time. A man and a woman were lying on the sofa and didn''t want to talk at all. The villa became extremely quiet for a while.


    ?Ten minutes passed, and Mona suddenly asked:


    ��Luo An, what��s for dinner tonight?��


    "have no idea."


    ?Luo An took a long breath, straightened up with his arms, sat down on the sofa and said with a smile:


    ��How about we go out to eat later.��


    ��Also.��


    ??Mona picked up the pillow and put it back on the sofa, and asked:


    ��Then what shall we eat out?��


    ��Meat, lots and lots of meat.��


    ? Luo An is a carnivore. When it comes to vegetables, he can only say that he does not reject them, but he will never be able to take the top spot.


    ??Mona rolled her eyes, but didn''t say much. The two of them had lived together for such a long time and already knew each other''s eating habits very well.


    ��Then I want to eat the pine nut, strawberry and red coconut cake.��


    ?Mona thought about it for a while and expressed her plan. As for the fact that eating cakes will make you gain weight, she temporarily put it in the back of her mind.


    Anyway, the case has been solved, and the two of them will not lack exercise these days.


    ??Chatting for a while, as the sun set, the two began to go upstairs to change clothes, then left the villa and drove to a barbecue shop they often frequented.


    ?Not long after, steak, mutton, oysters, oysters, and oysters were brought to the table by the waiter.


    ����


    ??Mona glared at Luo An, who was selectively blind, picked up the knife and fork and started to eat.


    ??Mona has become accustomed to Luo An''s sometimes cheeky behavior and doesn''t bother to respond. She just picks up the knife and fork and tastes the food she ordered.


    ?The two were chatting while eating, and Mona asked:


    ��How is your investment on Wall Street going?��


    ?Luo An swallowed the oysters in his mouth and replied:


    ��For now, everything is normal.��


    ??Federal housing prices are still collapsing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and Michael Bray is too busy now to answer the phone.


    "correct."


    Luo An looked slightly moved, suddenly remembered something, and asked:


    ��Mona, what��s going on with your father now?��


    (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 846： Monas fathers situation, phone number

    Chapter 846 Mona��s father��s situation, phone number


    A few months ago, Luo An and Mona went to Hawaii for vacation. They accidentally bumped into Javari Evans chatting and laughing with a beautiful woman in a restaurant (Chapter 703)


    ?Afterwards, Gyawali stated in a letter that he was actually acting on the occasion, and his real goal was to break into the woman''s organization and investigate a case in which an old friend died.


    ??Jawari Evans lost track of him for a long time, and it took a long time for Mona and Caroline to speak to him.


    ??Had it not been for the fact that there was no problem with a certain backup insurance reserved by Jawali Evans, both Mona and Caroline suspected that something had happened to him.


    ?Hearing Luo An mention this matter, Mona made a move, her face completely darkened, and she said in a low voice:


    ��He��s fine, don��t worry about him.��


    ?)


    ??Luo An was a little confused, but seeing that Mona''s face was not good, he didn''t ask in detail, and decisively chose to change the subject and talk about the living arrangements for the next few days.


    ??The most difficult part of investigating and arresting people in the counterfeit banknote case has been completed, and what follows is the writing and procedural work.


    These work contents belong to Michelle who is the most experienced in the investigation team. Except for the fundamental rights and responsibilities, the rest of the work is left to Michelle to lead the team of the Luo Ministry of Security.


    Under the leadership of Michelle, these tasks did not take much time, and the remaining time was left to the members of the special investigation team to arrange themselves.


    ??Mona has no idea about this yet. She is tired and just wants to rest for a few days.


    "correct."


    Seeing Luo An showing a very familiar look in her eyes, Mona rolled her eyes at him and said:


    ��I haven��t been feeling well these days, so as usual, I sleep in separate rooms.��


    ?)


    ?Luo An frowned slightly, lowered his head to calculate, then raised his head and asked:


    ��The time doesn��t seem to be these days?��


    ?Mona snorted coldly:


    ��I said yes.��


    ��OK.��


    Don''t be serious about certain things with women. Luo An, who knew this well, did not continue to argue. He nodded repeatedly to express that he had made a mistake in his calculations. Mona said it was okay.


    ?Mona chuckled lightly, feeling a lot more cheerful.


    The smile on Luo An''s face was even brighter. It seemed that he had lost a round, but sometimes the failure in the front was just for greater success later.


    That night, after Luo An took a shower, he walked into Mona''s bedroom as calmly as if he were returning to his own home.


    ??Mona was very angry about this and pressed Luo An down and scolded her severely.


    ??Later, Luo An caught the loophole in Mona''s words and turned defeat into victory in one fell swoop. Mona''s words made her burst into tears. In the end, she even lost the strength to refute and fell asleep directly.


    ?The next Saturday, Mona was too lazy to talk to Luo An and directly asked Mona and Chenille to go shopping.


    ??Luo An had nothing to do at home, so he found his cell phone and called Caroline.


    "Wow."


    On the other end of the phone, Caroline smiled and said:


    ��It��s really not easy for Team Leader Luo An to take the initiative to call me.


    Let me guess, Mona is watching right next to you, and she asked you to make this call, right? "


    ��Sorry��I��m sorry, you guessed wrong.��


    A long and loud gasp made Caroline''s expression slightly stiff, and Luo An casually smiled and said:


    ��Mona went shopping with her colleagues, and I was the only one at home.��


    "Wow!"


    Hearing this, Caroline on the other end of the phone suddenly raised her tone and laughed a lot louder:


    ��So, Luo An, are you planning to have a good chat with me?


    I would like to remind you that although Mona and I look very similar, we are actually half-sisters. "


    ?Caroline is the child picked up and raised by Javari Evans. In a sense, her relationship with Mona is indeed like this.


    "You can eat randomly, but you can''t talk nonsense." Luo An smiled and replied casually:


    ��Mona��s father threatened me with his shotgun more than once and I was very afraid of him.��


    ��A good bad joke.��


    Caroline rolled her eyes beautifully. She had seen Roan''s strength in the past, and Mona liked him very much. Javari Evans'' threats were actually more like a joke in many cases.


    ��Okay, let��s talk about business.��


    ??Luo An smiled, did not continue chatting with Caroline, and asked directly:


    ��How is Mona��s father doing now?��


    ?Caroline quickly realized what Luo An was talking about, and the expression on her face suddenly became very strange. After thinking for a few seconds, she said:


    ��My father is fine. He has joined the environmental protection organization...and has become a senior member of the organization. He is currently preparing to launch a vigorous and large-scale environmental protection action.��


    ??Jawari-Evans first approached the woman to investigate the accidental death of his long-time friend.


    The woman did not disappoint Gyawali and soon introduced him to people within the organization and invited Gyawali to join the environmental organization.


    Javari Evans has worked in the CIA for decades, and office politics is a piece of cake for him. It didn''t take long for him to not only find out the truth behind it, but also to squeeze out the murderer''s original high-level status and become a high-level person himself. .


    Jawali Evans felt a little speechless about this. After killing the murderer, he was about to find a reason to leave. At this moment, Mrs. Hanover came to him.


    ��Mrs. Hanover said that environmental protection is actually a business.��


    Caroline looked strange and said:


    ��So Mrs. Hanover also joined the environmental organization. With the joint efforts of her father and her, the two moved the headquarters of the environmental organization to Europe.


    Currently, Mrs. Hanover is in the front and her father is in the back. The woman who invited her father to join the organization was persuaded by the two to help in the back. The three of them are working together to expand the scale of the environmental organization and make it acceptable to more Europeans. Eco-friendly ideas, and then...make a lot of money. "


    ����


    Luo An��s mouth twitched. Among the crazy environmental organizations in Europe in the future, were you the first to create them?


    ??There is also Mrs. Hanover who Caroline said is in the front, Javari Evans is in the back, and another woman is in the back... Luoan looked enlightened, and he finally understood the reason why Mona''s face was not very good-looking.


    ��Environmental organizations are growing very fast.��


    Caroline smiled and said:


    ��Coupled with Mrs. Hanover��s background, this organization is currently heading towards the upper class of Europe.


    In a few years, when more Europeans agree with this concept, these people can be converted into votes. While her father is making money, Mrs. Hanover may also have the opportunity to enter the EU''s top management. "


    ��SIX.��


    ??Luo An''s eyelids twitched, and he finally understood the thoughts of Javari Evans and Mrs. Hanover. It seemed that the two of them were planning to rejuvenate their lives.


    ?After confirming that Mona''s father had nothing to do and was just busy with his career, Luo An and Caroline chatted briefly for a while and then hung up the phone.


    ?A few hours later, Mona returned home carrying a lot of things. Luo An was just about to chat with her when the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.


    ��Good afternoon, Team Leader Luo An.��


    There was a familiar male voice on the phone. It was Michael Bray from Wall Street. He spoke quickly and asked Luo An if he had time. There was something on Wall Street that the two of them needed to meet.


    ��OK, I��ll go there right away.��


    Luo An happened to have nothing to do, so he nodded without refusing, went upstairs to change his clothes, greeted Mona and drove to New York.


    In a high-rise building on Wall Street, Roan met Michael Bray in his office.


    "good afternoon."


    ??Taking the coffee handed to him by the other party, seeing the uncontrollable smile on Michael Bray''s face, Luo An raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:


    ��It looks like you��re going to tell me some good news today?��


    ��That��s right!��


    Michael Bray nodded heavily, handed a folder to Luo An, and said with a smile:


    ��We succeeded.��

 Chapter 847： Mona is pregnant, the end

    Chapter 847 Mona is pregnant, the ending


    ??In addition to the US$475 million in funds given to Michael Burry by Luo An to purchase CDS financial products, there was also US$80 million used by Michael Bray to short the stocks of investment companies such as Morgan Stanley Goldman Sachs.


    At the beginning, Michael Bray said that as long as federal housing prices began to fall, the $450 million in financial products could be exchanged for up to $3 billion.


    ?Roan did not take the number mentioned by Michael Brey to heart. He guessed that the number was 1 billion to 1.5 billion US dollars.


    ?Luo An knows the characteristics of those people on Wall Street very well. Turning off the power and unplugging the network cable are their best methods.


    ?As expected, New World Financial Corporation declared bankruptcy some time ago, which shocked the people of the Federation. House prices in the Federation fell accordingly. When it came time for investment companies to pay for financial products, these companies immediately started the old routine.


    ???Goldman Sachs said that its computer system unexpectedly failed, Morgan Stanley said that the server host suddenly crashed for no apparent reason, and the Commonwealth Bank did the same, saying that their power switch was broken and there was an unexpected power outage.


    ?There were many surprises, and the reasons were weird. Michael Bray was so angry that he cursed loudly. After thinking carefully for a long time, he could see the words between the words, and there were two words written on his mouth: repudiation.


    ? Michael Bray is extremely angry, but Luo An is not very panic about this, because federal housing prices have fallen, and CDS has become the hardest currency at this stage.


    ? CDS is a financial product that not only Michael Bray purchased, but also Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Commonwealth Bank, etc. also purchased a lot for themselves.


    ??One hand is bullish on federal house prices, and the other hand is bearish on federal house prices, hedging risks. This is a routine operation of investment companies such as Goldman Sachs.


    ?This means federal home prices fall, and investment firms such as Goldman Sachs are equally profitable.


    ?Investment companies such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley used this to first sell all their financial products that were bullish on federal housing prices to downstream companies, and then proactively approached Michael Bray to acquire CDS from him.


    Michael Bray also figured out the thinking of investment companies such as Goldman Sachs at this time.


    It is impossible for them to pay billions of dollars in compensation according to the CDS bet. Selling the CDS at a premium is the best option.


    ? So Michael Bray began tug-of-war negotiations with investment companies such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Commonwealth Bank. While negotiating, he also shorted the stocks of several companies at the same time.


    Companies such as Goldman Sachs are not very angry about Michael Brey''s behavior because they themselves are also shorting their own company''s stocks, making money, don''t shudder.


    ?Roan took the folder handed to him by Michael Bray, reached out and slowly opened it, and a long number suddenly appeared in front of his eyes: 1.846 billion US dollars.


    "Wow."


    ?Luo An''s eyes lit up. This number was indeed beyond his expectation, and he couldn''t help but raise the corners of his mouth.


    Michael Bray also had a smile on his face, and then handed Luan another check and said with a smile:


    ��This is the profit from shorting the stocks of companies such as Goldman Sachs.��


    ? Luo An took the check, and the number on it was slightly lower: $143 million.


    ��Sure enough.��


    ??Roan put the check into the folder, looked at Michael Bray with a smile on his face, and said:


    ��I know that Michael Bray is the best investment expert on Wall Street.��


    Michael Bray grinned and said:


    ��Team leader Luo An is also the most discerning customer on Wall Street.��


    Looking at each other, the two of them couldn''t help laughing loudly. Michael Buray took out two bottles of champagne, and bang! Bang! Drinks splashed everywhere, and both of them were soaked, but no one cared, and laughed:


    "cheers!"


    "cheers!"


    Investment of 450 million + 80 million, totaling 540 million US dollars.


    Twelve months later, the revenue was 1.846 billion + 143 million, totaling 1.989 billion US dollars.


    ? Luo An��s eyes lit up, this was definitely the most successful investment in his life.


    ? Michael Bray was also very excited. Customers such as Luo An paid him a large commission. He himself also used all his income over the years to buy CDS, and he also gained a lot this time.


    Michael Bray thought for a while, found a gold-plated business card from his desk and handed it to Luo An, smiling:


    ��Next weekend, I plan to hold a grand party in Hawaii, and Team Leader Luo An must come.��


    ? ? In the following two years after this creation and purchase of CDS, the entire Wall Street mocked Michael Brey for having something wrong with his brain.


    The owners of the funds controlled by Michael Bray even yelled at Michael Bray one after another and demanded to withdraw their capital several times.


    Yesterday, Michael Bray��s negotiation was successful. The owners of these funds immediately switched seamlessly to another face. They all praised Michael Bury for his vision and high level, and then happily took away their gains.


    Michael Bray was so disgusted by these people that he wanted to vomit. Compared to those guys, Roan was definitely his favorite client.


    ��Party in Hawaii?��


    ??Luo An raised his eyebrows, took the business card and agreed. Michael Bray drank the champagne in one gulp, and then asked with a smile:


    ��How does Team Leader Luo An plan to celebrate next?��


    ��Party, travel, eat, drink and have fun, whatever makes you happy.��


    ??Luo An laughed loudly, and then a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He patted Michael Bray on the shoulder and said with a smile:


    ��But before that, I��m going to do another thing first.��


    ����


    Sunday, at 8:30 pm, the special investigation team gathered together in a restaurant in New York.


    ?In addition to the special investigation team, Ryder, Augustus, Ryder''s wife, Veranith, Director Elmer and others from the No. 5 investigation team are also there.


    Mr. Clement had no time, so he sent his secretary over, who walked into the restaurant with Trick Kennedy. ��Happy birthday, Mona.��


    "Happy birthday."


    "Thanks."


    Today is Mona��s birthday. Everyone who meets her smiles and takes the initiative to say hello to her. Mona responds with a smile, and Lacey is beside her to help her say hello and chat.


    ?Finding some free time to walk aside, Mona picked up the red wine, took a sip, and whispered to Lacey:


    ��I feel like my face is almost frozen with laughter.��


    "Me too."


    Lacie smiled, then looked around, with a hint of imperceptible envy flashing in her eyes, and asked:


    ��Where��s Luo An?��


    ��He went to the back to get the cake.��


    ?Mona put down her glass and complained:


    ��She��s so mysterious that she never lets me see what the cake looks like. She says she wants to give me a surprise.��


    ? ? Lacey��s eyes moved slightly, and just as she was about to say something, someone else came over next to her. Mona smiled and went to chat, and Lacey had to swallow her words and followed.


    Time moved forward minute by minute, and soon it was ten o''clock in the evening. The guests were surrounding, Mona stood in the middle as the protagonist of the birthday party, and Luo An, who had never appeared, finally pushed a dining cart from behind. out.


    ?The dining car is not very big, but there is a half-person-high heat preservation device attached to it, making it impossible to see the exact appearance of the cake inside.


    ��Happy birthday, Mona.��


    ?? Luo An pushed the dining cart and moved from the crowd to Mona. Mona, with a smile on her face, kissed Luo An gently on the face and whispered:


    "Thanks."


    "You''re welcome."


    ?Luo An chuckled, turned around and hugged Mona''s slender waist, and said with a smile:


    ��Open it and take a look.��


    ��OK.��


    Under the eyes of everyone, Mona walked to the dining car and reached out to take out the heat preservation appliance. A large layered cake with seven layers, each layer filled with different fruits, and sprinkled with chocolate, candies, and flowers appeared on the side. in front of everyone.


    "Wow."


    "it''s beautiful!"


    Lacey and Chenelle exclaimed with excitement, while Winslow and other men laughed and clapped.


    ??Mona��s face was full of happiness, she hugged Luo An��s arm and said:


    ��Thank you very much, this is the best cake I have ever seen.��


    ��As long as you like it.��


    ?Luo An smiled, then lit the candles on both sides of the cake one by one, and said:


    ��The next step is to make a wish.��


    "Listen to you."


    ??Mona loosened her arm around Luo An, closed her eyes, put her hands together in front of her nose, and silently made a wish.


    ?A few seconds later, Mona opened her eyes, and everyone began to cheer and distribute cakes to taste the delicious food. Luo An walked up to Mona, looking at the lively scene in the restaurant with a smile, and whispered:


    ��Mona, I��ve booked the best suite in the Gstaad Palace Hotel in the Alps for a week, and we����


    ��Wait a minute, Luo An, I have something to tell you.��


    Before Luo An could finish speaking, Mona interrupted him. Then she raised her head and stared into Luo An''s eyes, whispering:


    "I am pregnant."


    ��?!��


    ����


    Nine months later, Mona gave birth to a girl, and the father of the child was Luo An.


    Because the shadow left by her mother was too great, Mona always refused to marry Luo An, so the two lived together and took care of their little new life together.


    ?Luo An continued to lead the special investigation team to handle the case. Two years later, he was promoted again and entered management work.


    There are people behind him who have sufficient qualifications, rich experience and excellent abilities. With these four entries, Luo An has risen through the ranks and has become the youngest leader in the history of a certain department of the Ministry of Justice.


    Luo An selectively ignored the praise, envy, jealousy and other emotions of those outside. He was sitting in the office of the Ministry of Justice, analyzing which direction he should take next.


    After thinking for a long time, Luo An slowly picked up Maximilian��s identity information file, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he smiled slowly:


    ��Deep state, very interesting.��
