Chapter 499 Return to Los Angeles, report on the case, birthday dinner
On the way back to Los Angeles, an agent from the FBI's San Francisco branch drove the car. Luo An sat in the back seat of the car, bored and looking at the scenery outside the window.
Mona held her laptop and tilted her head to look at Luo An's profile, feeling an inexplicable emotion in her heart.
In just one year and a few months, Luo An took up the position of leader of the special investigation team at a speed that is unbelievable to ordinary people. Coupled with the detection of this poison gas case, although his position will not change in a short time, But his status and reputation within the FBI will definitely increase a lot.
As Luo An’s girlfriend, Mona is naturally proud and happy for Luo An.
While she was happy, Mona was also a little troubled. It was a good thing that Luo An was excellent, but he seemed to be a little too good.
The Federation is a country that values family. Various families have always had a tradition of marriage. Through marriage, families are bound together and talents are absorbed into their own families.
Judging from Luo An's performance, some families have definitely noticed him now. Although Mona is Luo An's girlfriend, her girlfriend is not his wife, and wives may get divorced.
Thinking of some watches that were younger than her, bigger than her, longer than her legs, and prettier than her, a strange light flashed in Mona's eyes.
Mona kept staring at her, attracting Luo An's attention. He turned around and asked:
“What are you looking at me for?”
"nothing."
Mona shook her head, keeping some things that Lacey had taught her in the past deep in her heart, smiled, changed the topic, and asked:
“The suspect in the poison gas case has been caught and the case has entered the final stage. What should we do next?”
“What’s not to do? Just do the finishing work slowly.”
“What about those bank robbers?”
"wait."
“Wait? What do you mean?”
“Waiting for news from Lacey.”
Luo An stretched his waist vigorously. When Lacey followed Cogglin to Las Vegas, Luo An made a rough plan for Lacey. The content required Lacey, who was experienced, to adapt to circumstances and calculate the time. It should be almost there on the west side.
Mona and Michelle looked puzzled when they heard this, but now that there were other people in the car, Luo An stopped discussing the matter and planned to return to the special investigation team to explain the situation.
Escorting is a very hard job, and riding in a car is equally hard. Luo An and others took the car for more than six hours from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The three of them suffered backaches, leg cramps, and it took a long time to recover after getting off the car. .
However, Luo An and the three of them were nothing, because the FBI San Francisco branch agents responsible for escorting them had to rest for a few hours and then drive back, which took more than six hours.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
In the parking lot of the FBI's Los Angeles branch building, Luo An sympathetically patted the shoulder of the agent who was holding the three of them while driving. Just as he was about to say something, team leader Potente Byrne came with a few A detective came over.
After waving his hand and letting the detectives behind him handle the handover of suspect Tom Hamilton and deal with food and rest issues for the escorts in the San Francisco branch, Potente Byrne grabbed Roan's hand. Arm, pulled him towards the direction of the building:
“Luo An, your special investigation team handled this case very well. The director wants to see you.”
“Yes, sir.”
Roan hurriedly kept up with Potente-Bourne, and at the same time looked back at Mona and Michelle. Mona raised her hand and scanned it. They had long been used to it and knew what they were going to do next.
Walking straight to the director's office, Director Nasim couldn't hide the joy in his eyes when he saw Luo An walking into the office.
Several people died in the gas attack, and a large number of people were hospitalized in coma. It took several days to disinfect the entire building. The First Republic Bank of California directly announced that the building would be on holiday for a month, and the work was transferred to other branches.
Coupled with the chaotic reports from major news media in Los Angeles, which described the incident as a terrorist attack, Nasim, Director of the FBI Los Angeles Division, also had a headache and was under a lot of pressure. A few hours ago, I heard Potente Byrne say that Luo An had led the special investigation team to solve the case and was currently escorting the prisoner back to Los Angeles. Director Nasim's eyes lit up, and then he sternly ordered Potente. Ter-Bourne, when Luo An returns to Los Angeles, he must be brought to his office as soon as possible.
When Luo An and the two walked into the office, a smile suddenly appeared on Director Nasim's face. He stood up and walked to Luo An, patted his arms vigorously, and motioned for the two to sit down.
The secretary brought three cups of coffee to the three people in the room, smiled at Luo An, turned and left the office. Director Nasim sat back in his chair and asked Luo An to introduce the investigation process of the case.
Picked up the coffee and took a sip. Luo An pondered for a few seconds and started talking about the test report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This case itself is not particularly complex, but the excessive number of injuries and deaths easily attracts attention, and it is superimposed with the bank robbery case, making it easy to go in the wrong direction of the investigation and miss some details.
Compared with the description of the team supervisor, when Luo An faced Director Nasim, his description of the investigation process of this case was more ups and downs and more spectacular.
It’s not that Director Nasim likes to hear this kind of story, but Luo An guesses that Director Nasim will most likely hold a press conference later, and the ups and downs of the case will attract the attention of the media.
Sure enough, after listening to Luo An's case introduction, Director Nasim's eyes were full of approval. He didn't say too many words. He just nodded Luo An a few times with his hand, then took out an invitation letter from his desk and handed it to Luo An. An, with a smile on his face said:
“You will definitely be able to handle the follow-up work of this case properly, so I won’t say more.
In a moment, our FBI Los Angeles branch will hold a large press conference on this gas case. Luo An, Potente, you will attend with me.
In addition, this is an invitation letter from the Mayor of Los Angeles to his birthday party. The mayor personally sent it to you. Luo An, you must not miss it that day. "
After Potente-Byrne told Director Nasim about the detection of the case, Director Nasim also called the mayor of Los Angeles to communicate about the matter.
The mayor of Los Angeles was a little skeptical at first, but when he learned that the organizer of the case was Roanne Greenwood, the leader of the special investigation team, the mayor of Los Angeles, who had experienced the [First Lady Bombing Case] before, was exposed. Smiling, he then asked the secretary to add Roan Greenwood's name to the banquet list, and at the same time sent an invitation letter to Roan and asked Director Nasim to help deliver it.
Luo An took the invitation and was slightly stunned when he saw the time on it, and then agreed.
Director Nasim nodded with satisfaction, and the three continued to communicate for a while. Luo An and Potente-Byrne left the director's office first.
Returning to the Special Investigation Team, there were actually four people here. In addition to Mona and Michelle, Winslow and Chenelle also appeared in the office area.
Luo An put the invitation aside and frowned slightly:
"you…"
“Sorry, team leader, we have…”
Winslow and Chenelle stood up instantly, with awkward and complicated expressions on their faces.
Before the two of them finished explaining, Luo An, who guessed what happened, waved his hand to say we would talk later, then walked into the team leader's office and started to change clothes.
Director Nasim was impatient and held a press conference right away. This did not leave him and Potente-Byrne with much time. The two of them had to discuss what matters in the case were not convenient to talk about later.
While Luo An was changing clothes, Winslow picked up the invitation:
“Our team leader actually got an invitation letter to the Los Angeles Mayor’s birthday party?”
“Birthday party? The mayor’s or the mayor’s wife’s?”
Michelle next to me took a sip of coffee and said:
“I remember that the daughter of the mayor of Los Angeles seems to be twenty years old this year. She has no boyfriend, is very beautiful, and has always wanted to go to Hollywood.”
“??!”
Mona’s ears immediately stood up when she heard this.
