Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 223: The Truth of the Case and the Bomb

Hearing Vireness praise the Unit Five as the finest team of agents in the FBI New York Branch, Luo An's lips curled into a slight smile, somewhat pleased.

However...

Closing the file folder, Luo An's face turned serious as he looked up.

Seeing this, Vireness's expression gradually became solemn as well.

After all, Luo An was an agent on the front lines and the main witness at the crime scene just now; could it be that he discovered some clue or problem?

As Vireness's thoughts were running wild, Luo An finally opened his mouth and asked his question in a deep voice:

"Boss, if we go to assist in the investigation, will there be overtime pay?"

Today is Saturday, and tomorrow is Sunday—these are the clear resting days as defined by the FBI!

Hearing this, Vireness's lips twitched slightly, and then she covered her forehead with a face full of speechlessness:

"...There will be overtime pay, don't worry."

"OK."

Luo An nodded; as long as there was overtime pay, there was no problem. He chatted briefly, listened to Vireness's instructions, and reminders, and after making sure to call her if anything came up, he picked up the file folder and left the place.

Since this was an assistant investigation, the work location was not at the Unit Five office area but in the Joint Command Center on a certain floor of the Jacob Federation Building.

Unit Five was led by Team Leader Augustus and Deputy Team Leader Luo An, with only three team members: Red, Reesi, and Mona.

At one o'clock on Sunday morning, the Joint Command Center was brightly lit, with equipment humming constantly, and everyone was bustling and noisy.

Because this was their first time in such a large operation, the three of them, including Reesi, were somewhat nervous.

Although Augustus was not panicking, his big dark face was tense throughout.

As soon as Luo An pushed open the door and entered the Joint Command Center, his eyes lit up and he greeted with a smile:

"Good evening, Team Leader Melody, I didn't expect to see you here!"

"We meet again, Team Leader Kevin, yeah yeah, I got called in too!"

"Good evening, Director Klaus! It's me, it's me, you've been working hard!"

Augustus and the others were stunned at this scene.

Does Luo An feel like he's coming home or something?

However, Augustus quickly dismissed Luo An, as he met some acquaintances and, being the team leader, he needed to attend a meeting to hear the work arrangement.

All the directors had left the hall for the meeting, and under the astonished, envious, puzzled, and jealous gazes of the other agents, Luo An cheerfully returned to where Reesi and the others were.

"Luo An, what's the deal here?"

Reesi was the first who couldn't contain her curiosity and asked in a low voice:

"How do you know so many directors?"

Thinking of Director Lawrence, who was having a lively conversation with Luo An just now, Reesi's face was filled with disquiet.

To her knowledge, Director Lawrence was one of the leaders of the FBI New York Branch security department.

The security department within the FBI was equivalent to the internal affairs department of other law enforcement agencies!

Hearing Reesi's question, Mona and Red also curiously gathered around.

"Heh, I just attended a banquet a few hours ago, Mona knows about it."

Luo An laughed and waved his hand dismissively as if it was a trivial matter.

As mentioned previously, former Special Agent Supervisor Kobert had personally taken Luo An to network at the banquet, naturally allowing many people to recognize Luo An.

Moreover, since Luo An was handsome and articulate, even before meeting Trick Kennedy, Luo An had already made many leadership contacts and had stuffed a pile of business cards into his pocket.

The few directors who greeted Luo An just now didn't even count for one-tenth of the business cards in his pocket.

After hearing Luo An's account, Reesi's face was full of speechlessness, Laid's face brimmed with envy, and Mona silently gripped Luo An's arm tighter.

She was a bit afraid that Luo An might be charmed away by the fairies from other departments or investigative teams.

A few minutes later, the meeting of the leadership had ended, and Augustus returned to the location of Investigation Team Five.

Upon seeing this, the four agents immediately became serious and asked:

"Chief, what's our task?"

"There's no task; just sit tight and wait for orders."

Augustus waved his hand, casually picked up a cup of coffee, sat down, and began to briefly explain the recent events.

Upon learning of the bombing at the charity auction attended by the First Lady, the head of the Special Service Bureau swallowed two emergency heart-saving pills before issuing a die-hard command, demanding that subordinates must immediately apprehend the culprit behind the scenes.

After the FBI Washington Headquarters got wind of this news, the top brass, though they didn't take any medicine, also immediately ordered their senior agents to carry out the same commands.

In any country, if those with enough control at the top issue a die-hard command, then the people below will certainly sprint into action and complete the task with unbelievable speed.

Hence, merely two hours after the explosion had ended, two senior FBI agents from the Washington Headquarters successfully captured the person who had planted the bomb.

Then, the two senior FBI agents took the culprit to the interrogation room at the Joint Command Center to begin an aggressive interrogation, while two agents from the Special Service Bureau were responsible for assisting and recording.

As for why there are so many departments and leaders still at the Joint Command Center when the culprit has been captured…

One can only say that with politics, you might be useless after you arrive, or you might just sit there, but you definitely can't be absent.

"Alright."

After listening to Augustus's account, the four agents sat down and waited for news.

It wasn't much later, perhaps only thirty minutes, when Augustus received news that the interrogation was complete, and then he led Luo An towards the depths of the Joint Command Center corridor.

The rest of the departments were in motion since solving the case was the responsibility and duty of the FBI.

Pushing open the door to the monitoring room next to the interrogation room, Luo An raised an eyebrow:

"Chief Trick Kennedy!"

Inside the monitoring room, apart from two chiefs in Special Service Bureau uniforms, there were also two FBI leaders, one of whom was Trick Kennedy whom Luo An had met at the banquet.

"Haha, Luo An Greenwood!"

Upon seeing Luo An, Trick immediately laughed and walked over, and the two shook hands. Trick then introduced the identities of those in the room, exchanging a few pleasantries, before Luo An then turned his attention to the interrogation room nearby.

The interrogators were a man and a woman, two middle-aged Caucasians dressed in suits, obviously from the FBI Washington Headquarters.

Across from them on a chair, a Caucasian youth who seemed to be under thirty was handcuffed.

"This case isn't complicated."

Trick Kennedy gave the Caucasian youth's identity information to Augustus and Luo An, and with his arms crossed, he said:

"Hurel Harris, 28 years old, his mother died painfully a month ago due to complications from cancer.

During her cancer, Hurel had been administering to her a type of miracle drug that the First Lady had been heavily supporting and promoting in recent years.

But his mother eventually died of cancer, so Hurel had since harbored hatred for the First Lady..."

Whether the miracle drug had any issues or not, Trick Kennedy didn't say, and neither Augustus nor Luo An asked.

One could only say that the federal has its own national circumstances.

After a moment of thought, Luo An asked another question.

That is, since Hurel had fully confessed and the case was seemingly resolved, why were the two of them called here?

"There's something even more serious."

Upon hearing this, Trick Kennedy's expression became very serious:

"Hurel confessed that he bought the bomb.

And according to the seller, they still have more than ten of these bombs that could 'blow up an entire street block'!"
