Chapter 263： The evidence is ready, ready to arrest

Chapter 263 Evidence is ready, ready to arrest

Luo An still doesn’t know the specific situation in Los Angeles, but if he has the reputation of having just solved a major case, Luo An will definitely encounter less resistance there.

As soon as Luo An said his words, Veranith, who was not weak in political means, instantly understood his thoughts.

“I have just been promoted to Special Agent in Charge, and it is unlikely that I will continue to be promoted in the short term.

However, the greater the impact of solving a case, the higher the impact on future promotions. "

Veranith also crossed her legs, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said while thinking:

“So, the press conference after this case can actually invite reporters from more news media.”

Luo An's mouth twitched when he heard this. Veranith was obviously used to holding press conferences, and she subconsciously wanted to hold a press conference whenever something happened.

But in fact, the role of the press conference is limited. Thinking of this, Luo An no longer held back and said directly:

“Sir, under federal law, violating a child is a felony, but there are still many such things happening.

I think as an FBI, it is necessary to tell the public about this kind of thing, so that they can strengthen their awareness of prevention and protect their children. This needs to be vigorously promoted by us!

Coincidentally, we happen to have a vicious case against children in our hands. We can let the media and citizens clearly see our FBI's determination to crack down on this type of crime, and at the same time severely crack down on the arrogance of similar criminals... "

Luo An said a lot eloquently, but in fact, he only needed one sentence to explain it clearly:

 Propaganda, publicity, or ***propaganda!

Especially since Veranith is a woman herself, she has an inherent advantage in dealing with child crimes, which can allow more people to see her determination in law enforcement, and at the same time, it can also allow her to accumulate a wave of qualifications within the FBI.

It would be even better if a higher-level official could be invited to speak and express determination and encouragement.

 After listening to Luo An’s description, Veranith’s eyes instantly became extremely bright as she easily understood the subtext of his words.

To be honest, what Luo An described was not very complicated, nor was it anything new. Veranith also knew the importance of publicity, so she held a press conference every time to answer reporters’ questions.

 But this was after all, 2005, and the large-scale news bombing methods of later generations had not yet become particularly widespread, so Luo An's words undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for Veranith.

Seeing Luo An swallowing subconsciously, Veranith's eyes were bright, but her face became very serious, and she said in a deep voice:

“Thank you for your advice, I think your ideas are very useful.

 The specific action process of this case will be left to you. If you have any difficulties, remember to contact me immediately! If there is a problem, I will help you solve it! "

   "Okay, sir."

Seeing the extremely satisfied light in Veranith's eyes and her impatient hands, Luo An chuckled, briefly chatted for a few words, then got up and left the office.

Luo An's efforts in this operation were not in vain, and there was no benefit at all.

In addition to what was mentioned above, this wave of operations can reduce the resistance in Los Angeles, and Luo An can actually make a lot more money.

 After all, the cake has grown bigger, and Luo An will definitely be able to get more than before.

 “I don’t know how much the reward will be after this case.”

Luo An took the folder and walked back to Investigation Team No. 5 with a smile.

As soon as she returned to her work station, Mona turned to Luo An and said:

“Luo An, I have successfully registered as a VIP member on that travel company’s website, and it cost me US$200!”

 “Wow, it’s really expensive.”

Luo An sighed expressionlessly, then moved his chair to Mona's side and asked:

“What are the specifics of the travel projects that members can view?”

Mona’s fingers were flying on the keyboard and she made a disgusted expression on her face:

“The travel company described it as a dream trip.

 But for the specific travel content, you need to submit an application first, and then take the application materials and personal identification documents to the office of [Chang Xiang Wandering] travel company to have a detailed discussion with the boss. ” ˆ ˆ “It’s really prudent. "

Luo An hesitated and instead of asking Mona to submit the application now, she asked Mona to try to find out all the registered members through this website.

Time soon passed in the afternoon, and Lacey and Ryder also returned to the No. 5 Investigation Team.

“Our Dr. Carl is a very cautious doctor, but his agent friend at the immigration office doesn’t pay much attention to details.”

  Lacie posted a document on the whiteboard at the front of the office area, turned around and said with a smile:

“At this time, the fake visas we found at the immigration bureau, and the three little boys adopted by Dr. Carl were all from South America.”

“Good, it seems we have grounds to arrest Dr. Carl.”

 Luo An checked a box on his notebook, then turned to look at William and other technical agents.

“We mainly checked Vincent’s financial status and recent itinerary.”

William stepped forward, pasted several forms and photos on the whiteboard, and said:

“Our deputy mayor’s son goes to South America or South Asia several times a year, and every time he goes, he withdraws a small amount of funds from his account.

According to information from the Department of Homeland Security, the money ended up in the hands of a smuggler who transported illegal immigrants to the federal government.

 The amount of money is equal to the price of a child from two to four years old entering the Commonwealth each time. "

 Lacie crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows:

“In other words, Vincent actually smuggled little boys?”

   "Exactly."

Luo An continued to write and draw in his notes, and then looked at Mona:

 “How is the investigation going on here?”

“I have found almost all the VIP customers in that travel company, and I have already made a list.”

Mona’s face was full of disgust, and then she added:

"In addition, I also found the details of this so-called "dream trip" on the computer of one of the VIP customers."

 The main content is [Imagination Roaming]. The company takes VIP customers in need to take a plane to South America or South Asia according to specific needs, and see a little boy or girl in a hotel there.

 After the event, if VIP customers want to continue, they can pay to purchase these children, and the [Imagine Roaming] company will be responsible for bringing these children back to the federation.

 “FU-K!”

 “Sonof better than eating!”

 “What a bunch of ***!”

 After listening to Mona’s introduction, the entire No. 5 investigation team’s agents began to curse.

“In other words, the travel agency owner Doyle is responsible for contacting VIP customers and arranging itineraries. The mayor’s youngest son Vincent is responsible for official relations and smuggling children. Doctor Carl is responsible for taking care of the children and checking their health.”

Luo An quickly figured out the division of tasks between the three people.

The agents of Investigation Team No. 5 had ugly expressions when they heard this. Ryder was too lazy to talk nonsense and turned to look at Luo An and asked:

 “Luo An, what should we do next?”

“The evidence is almost ready, of course we have to arrest them.”

Luo An closed the notebook, threw it on his desk, and sneered:

“But for the sake of procedural justice, this arrest operation can be a little more special, such as arresting them in the same way as current criminals!”
