Chapter 500 Scared Mona, Lacey’s emergency call
FBI Los Angeles branch building, a large conference room.
At this time, the conference room was full of people, and a large number of news media workers holding microphones and cameras were making a lot of noise.
Potent Byrne, the team leader, stood behind the podium with a federal standard eight-tooth fake smile on his face as he answered questions.
Under the flickering lights, Roan sat on the chair behind Potente-Bourn, wearing the same standard fake smile.
Because Hollywood is home to stars, directors and film companies from all walks of life, news media workers in Los Angeles ask almost any question compared to the more serious New York media.
When Director Nasim took the stage, the reporters were a little more restrained and asked many questions about the poison gas case.
Team leader Potente Byrne came on stage, and the reporters began to go off topic.
When it was Luo An's turn to take the stage, the reporters' questions had completely shifted in other directions.
“Leader Greenwood, can you tell me about your current emotional state?”
“Captain Greenwood, how much is the salary offered by the FBI? You are so handsome and have great skills. Do you have any thoughts on developing your career in Hollywood? For example, make some action movies?”
Luo An: “…”
After replying with a lot of "no comment" and "please don't ask questions unrelated to the case", the press conference ended and Luo An finally left the conference room.
Seeing Luo An's long sigh of relief, Director Nasim chuckled, then patted Luo An on the shoulder kindly, mentioned the dinner party again, and asked him not to be late that day, and then left with his secretary and others. this area.
Team leader Potente Byrne stepped forward, patted Luo An on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
“You have to get used to this kind of thing, just get used to it.”
“OK.”
Luo An rubbed his temples helplessly. He might not be able to fully adapt to this kind of thing in a short time.
Chatting and laughing with Potente Byrne, he took the elevator upstairs and arrived at the floor where the investigation team was located. Luo An left first. As soon as he returned to the office area of the special investigation team, Mona took the dinner invitation and followed him closely. Entered the team leader's office.
Luo An took off his coat and started to change his clothes, his face full of doubts:
"What's wrong?"
“It’s nothing, I just want to help you bring the invitation in so that it doesn’t get lost outside.”
Mona smiled, put the invitation on the desk, then stepped forward and started to help Luo An sort out his clothes, while quietly asking about the origin of the invitation.
There is nothing to hide, so Luo An briefly talked about what happened in the director's office.
After the brief description, Luo An also changed his clothes. He turned to look at Mona, raised his brows, and asked:
“What, did you find something wrong with the mayor of Los Angeles?”
“That’s not true.”
Mona shook her head, stretched out her hand to help Luo smooth out the wrinkles on his suit, and replied with a smile:
“I just did a quick search on the Los Angeles mayor’s family.
Apart from the fact that his 20-year-old daughter is very beautiful and looks like a group of stars in Hollywood without makeup, there is nothing special about her. "
Luo An rolled his eyes speechlessly. He really didn't know about the mayor of Los Angeles' daughter, but how could he not understand the meaning of Mona's words.
So Luo An suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged Mona's slim waist with force, looked down at her pretty face, and asked with a smile:
“Why, are you afraid that I will find another woman?”
Mona blinked, raised her head and nipped the corner of Luo An's mouth:
“I am 26 years old this year and will be 30 soon. I am already old.”
…”
Luo An’s forehead was full of black lines, but knowing Mona’s previous life experience and family situation, he could understand the panic and uneasiness in Mona’s heart.
With his mind spinning slightly, Luo An gently bit Mona's lips, leaned into her ear and whispered:
“How could I go to find other women? How could you find those people...”
“Shut up!”
Before Luo An finished speaking the next words, Mona's face turned red instantly, she pushed Luo An away hard and stared at him with wide eyes:
“Luo An!”
“Don’t be angry, just kidding.”
Luo An chuckled and put his arms around Mona again, comforting her for a moment. He gently kissed Mona's ear and whispered:
"We met in New York, came to Los Angeles together, went to Europe together, and worked on cases together... We have walked so far together hand in hand. You know you are the only one in my heart." He buried his head in Luo An's chest and held his hands tightly. Holding Luo An's waist, Mona was silent for a few seconds and whispered:
"Sorry, Luo An, I didn't mean to...I was just a little scared."
"I see."
Luo An reached out to help Mona smooth her hair and whispered:
“I’m getting off work soon, how about we go buy some candles and red wine later.
Since we moved into that villa until now, we have not had a candlelight dinner. "
Mona nodded, and just as she was about to continue saying something, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
Mona quickly let go of Luo An, straightened her clothes and expression and walked to the side. Luo An coughed lightly and quickly walked forward and opened the office door:
"What's wrong?"
The person who knocked on the door was Michelle. When she saw the door opened, she apologized first, and then quickly handed the phone to Luo An:
“Lacie is in an emergency.”
Luo An frowned when he heard this and quickly took the phone:
“It’s me, Luo An, what’s wrong?”
“There is an emergency.”
There was also the sound of cars driving fast in the background on the other end of the phone. Lacey’s voice was a little anxious and she quickly explained:
“Luo An, Coglin was kidnapped and I’m following him!”
Roan's expression changed, and he immediately raised his finger and pointed at Winslow and Cheniel in the office area, and said loudly:
“You call the FBI and police in Las Vegas immediately and ask them to help stop this person!”
“Understood!” x2
Winslow and Chenelle nodded heavily and quickly picked up the landline phones on the table to contact others. Roan followed Michelle and said quickly:
“You should contact the team leader now and apply for a small plane to Las Vegas. It will leave in twenty minutes!”
“I’m going right away!”
Michelle quickly turned around and ran to execute the order. Roan then picked up the phone and began to ask Lacey what happened, while giving Mona an apologetic look in the office.
The situation is urgent now, Mona understands the importance, gives Luo An a reassuring look, and then quickly leaves the office and returns to her place to start packing her things.
Meanwhile, Lacey on the other end of the phone began to explain carefully what had happened.
Since arriving in Las Vegas, Coghlin has been spending money like crazy: gambling, gourmet food, high-end suits, renting sports cars to pick up girls, and one night he even found six women.
Since he bought a high-end suit worth over 10,000 yuan, Coglin has been wearing it every day, so Lacey secretly put a locator in the pocket of the suit while Coglin was gambling.
This afternoon, Coghlin lost another sum of money in the casino, and then he found a restaurant to start eating.
Lacie thought that today would be like any other day, that Coglin would go on to spend money to find a few women, and then go back to the hotel to play games together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Coghlin walked into the parking lot and was about to drive his newly rented fourth sports car, a Buick car next to the sports car suddenly jumped out of three strong men wearing black hoods.
Three strong men knocked out Coglin with several punches, then put Coglin into a Buick and drove away.
“I’m following that Buick car at a distance now.”
Lacie on the other end of the phone said:
“Judging from the route, the three people should be planning to leave Las Vegas.”
While Luo An and others quickly packed their things, Mona put forward her own guess:
“Could it be that Coghlin has been too ostentatious these days and attracted the attention of some red-eyed guys?”
“There is such a possibility.”
Chenelle nodded, Luo An did not discuss this topic further, and then asked:
“Lacie, have you seen the license plate number of that car? Mona may be able to find out the situation of that car.”
“I...Fu-k!”

As soon as Lacey started speaking, she suddenly cursed, and then there was a sudden screeching sound of brakes and a car collision on the other end of the phone!
