Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 316: Luo An: These Are the People I’ve Been Waiting For

As Luo An spoke, a barely perceptible cold glint passed through Lawrence's unchanging eyes, while Hunter holding the wine glass slightly trembled, his eyes subconsciously shifting towards Lawrence.

Seeing Hunter's action, and feeling the cold hatred for himself that was lukewarm but unmistakably cold towards Lawrence, Luo An's lips slightly twitched, as if he had gained something unexpected.

However, Hunter wasn't important now; Lawrence was the key.

"I'm sorry, Deputy Group Leader Greenwood."

The air in the living room quieted for a few seconds, with Lawrence putting down his wine glass and shaking his head:

"I can't hear..."

"Rooney Gene!"

Before Lawrence could finish his sentence, Luo An shouted out a name, one of the ten suspects previously investigated by Group Leader Owen.

Seeing Lawrence merely slightly startled with no other change, Luo An continued speaking without pause, staring at his face and rapidly calling out the names of the other nine suspects.

As he mentioned the name of a high-ranking official named "Hernandez" from the Criminal Justice Department, Lawrence's facial expression slightly flinched, and Luo An suddenly realized and smiled:

"So the person above you is him!"

Hernandez, FBI Los Angeles Branch, Criminal Justice Department, responsible for financial crimes, his position and rank were higher than Pearson, but not in the same office.

However, there was definitely more than one person behind the scene, their power and capabilities weren't that extensive.

Seeing Luo An clapping and laughing, Lawrence's expression turned completely grim, pointing toward the apartment door not far away he said:

"Deputy Group Leader Greenwood, if you came here to cause trouble tonight, there's the door.

Also, speak with evidence, if you continue to slander me, I will complain to the Monitoring Department and sue you over this!"

"Don't be so angry, Captain Lawrence. Steady your emotions."

Luo An chuckled, picked up the wine from the table and poured it into Lawrence's glass, casually fabricating:

"Of course I have evidence. You wouldn't know, but as soon as I moved into that apartment, I installed a small surveillance camera inside the eyes of the teddy bear in the corner of the living room…"

Hearing this and seeing Luo An's relaxed demeanor, Lawrence's pupils contracted and he glanced at Hunter sitting idly on the sofa, no longer hesitating, he gritted his teeth and immediately pulled out a handgun from behind and aimed it at Luo An.

On the surface relaxed, but actually with muscles tensed, Luo An was faster. The moment Lawrence reached behind, Luo An grabbed the wine just poured and fiercely splashed it in Lawrence's face.

Bang!

The next second, a gunshot rang out, but because his face was splashed with wine, Lawrence's handgun was forced off target, the bullet hitting the nearby wall.

With the wine in the glass completely thrown, Luo An then tossed the glass at Lawrence's face, clenched his fist, and robustly smashed it into Lawrence's chest.

Thump—

A muffled sound came from Lawrence's chest, the terrifying force causing his pupils to constrict uncontrollably as he fell back onto the sofa.

Luo An took advantage of the situation, seized Lawrence's handgun, pulled out handcuffs and cuffed his hands, using his knee to firmly press against Lawrence's thigh, gaining complete control over him.

"Damn!"

Luo An's series of actions were too fast; Lawrence, with wine still dripping from his face, only just realized he had been subdued, his face turning red as he glared fiercely.

At this moment, Hunter Anderson also came to his senses, quickly stood up, and pulled out a handgun aiming at Luo An.

"Don't move!"

Click—

The moment Hunter stood up, Luo An's other hand also pulled out a handgun from behind, and while Hunter aimed at him, he aimed the gun at Hunter, without turning back he coldly said:

"Hunter Anderson, considering you've only recently transferred from the Bureau of Large-Scale Weapons to the SWAT team, I'll give you a chance, put down the gun."

"No!"

Shocked by Luo An's agile maneuver, Hunter swallowed, feeling he might not be able to win, but still firmly refused to put down his weapon, seriously saying:

"Let go of my captain first!"

"Heh heh heh…"

As Luo An held Lawrence restrained, Lawrence sneered seeing the situation, just about to speak, when Luo An harshly slapped his face.

Smack!

"Enough with the nonsense."

Luo An firmly pinned down Lawrence, turned his head to Hunter and briefly described the murder of Group Leader Owen and the issue with the foundation's funds. He then said resolutely:

"You saw it yourself, Lawrence was the first to draw his gun. Would he do that if there wasn't an issue?"

After Luo An finished, Lawrence managed to free his mouth from Luo An's grip and shouted at Hunter immediately:

"It's a setup! It's all a setup!

Listen, Hunter, everything Greenwood said is a lie, you must…"

Before he could finish, Lawrence saw Hunter's pistol slowly moving from Luo An to his forehead.

Lawrence: "…"

"I believe Deputy Group Leader Greenwood."

Hunter Anderson's expression grew colder as he sternly said:

"Do you remember Clarence, my dear Captain Lawrence?"

Upon hearing that name, Luo An raised an eyebrow as if he had seen this name somewhere.

Lawrence's expression changed:

"What's your relationship with him?"

Hunter scoffed:

"He's my cousin's cousin."

At this moment, Luo An recalled something - Group Leader Owen's record showed that the issue with the fund was first discovered by a frontline SWAT officer, who was later silenced (Chapter 314).

That silenced frontline SWAT officer's name was Clarence.

Hunter explained that his cousin passed away under unclear circumstances, and his aunt succumbed to grief over the loss. To avenge them, Hunter chose to leave the less dangerous Department of Weapons of Mass Destruction and joined the SWAT team, where he constantly skirted the edge of life and death.

Arriving at the SWAT division his cousin had once belonged to, Hunter had posed as a regular team member while secretly investigating his cousin's cause of death.

After days of investigation, Hunter had not discovered the exact cause, but he found it was definitely related to Captain Lawrence.

In order to gather more clues, Hunter had been actively building a rapport with Lawrence lately, bringing alcohol to share at Lawrence's house every few days.

When Luo An mentioned those two cases earlier, Hunter still had his guard up, but hearing that the death date of the frontline officer matched exactly with his cousin's, Hunter immediately confirmed the truth of Luo An's words.

After sharing these facts, Hunter, with tears in his eyes, looked at Luo An:

"Thank you, Deputy Group Leader Greenwood."

"No need for thanks."

Luo An casually replied, now finally understanding why his "empathy sense" had picked up Hunter's undisguised hatred for Lawrence.

"Son of a bitch."

After listening to Hunter's narrative, Lawrence cursed softly, then closed his eyes and said no more.

Seeing Lawrence's attitude and convinced of the murderer, Hunter was about to physically interrogate him when Luo An held him back and said:

"Go search his bedroom and study, we might find the clues we need there."

"…OK."

Hunter took several deep breaths to suppress his anger and turned to head upstairs to the study.

But within a few minutes, Hunter ran down anxiously:

"Deputy Group Leader Greenwood! People are arriving outside the apartment!"

By then, two cars had each parked at both the front and back entrance of the apartment, a group of individuals wearing suits and carrying rifles began slowly approaching the apartment doors.

With a feeling different from the urgency on Hunter's face, Luo An, still pinning down Lawrence, looked through the glass at the familiar cars and grinned:

"No worries, these are exactly the people I've been waiting for."

Hunter: ???
