"Judging from the current situation, if this serial murder case cannot be solved within 24 hours, Veranith's losses will definitely be very serious."
Luo An stood at the door of the team leader's office and saw Augustus in the office holding the phone with a solemn expression and nodding frequently, thinking to himself:
"It shouldn't be possible to be dismissed directly, but the investigation teams No. 1 to No. 5 will probably be handed over to Broson who just took office..."
This is Blossom's purpose.
Luo An had already guessed the ins and outs of the incident, but there were still some details that he didn't understand.
For example, Blossom has worked in the No. 1 Investigation Team for so many years and must have accumulated a lot of contacts. After being promoted to the team leader, he will not be put aside as an empty shelf. There will definitely be an investigation team assigned to him.
That being the case, why would Blossom be so eager to attack Verenice?
...In order to attack him in the future and avenge him for kicking his nephew?
The moment the idea came out, Luo An threw it into the trash can.
Totally impossible.
He's just a nephew, not that valuable. During the chat, Lacey once told Luo An that she felt that Blossom was far more like a politician than the leader of an investigation team.
In the eyes of American politicians, some things can be traded.
What else is the reason? Luo An touched his chin and thought carefully.
Could it be that Blossom and Verenice had enmity before?
Thinking of this, Luo An's eyes lit up, this should be it.
Otherwise, why didn't Blossom target other team leaders and only focus on Veranith.
"It was just a serial murder case, but it turned into a high-level game."
Luo An was speechless, but then he thought about it, could he do anything good in this matter?
"Veranith is the team leader, so it's impossible for her to go and solve the case herself."
Luo An lowered his head and thought. The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. The more he felt that this matter was promising.
To solve the case, Verenice must choose one of five investigation teams.
The No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 investigation teams usually have an average case detection rate. It is sheer difficulty to leave such a difficult matter to them, such as solving a serial murder case within the stipulated time.
Investigation Team No. 1 is Blossom's hometown, and Veranith will definitely not be able to hand over the case to them, otherwise she will stretch her neck to the gangster with the knife.
Then only Investigation Team No. 5 is left.
Moreover, the case itself was brought about by their No. 5 Investigation Team, so it would not be appropriate to throw the blame to others.
And Investigation Team No. 5... will solve the case, and the only one who can solve the case is Luo An.
"Luo An, come in."
Just as he lowered his head and pondered what to do next, the door to the team leader's office suddenly opened, and Augustus called him in.
Sitting on the chair, Augustus looked very serious, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be able to kill flies.
Before he could speak, Veranith's voice immediately came from the phone:
"Luo An, I will hold a press conference in thirty minutes. I want you to tell me now. Can this serial murder case be solved within 24 hours and the real culprit be caught?"
If you ask that, it's definitely impossible.
Luo An raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to open his mouth to find a reason, Veranith's voice came over the phone again:
"If the case is successfully solved, I will contact my superiors to secure special funds for your group for one year."
This means that in the next year, everyone in Investigation Team No. 5 will receive a large performance bonus every month.
The office was a little quiet. Luo An didn't answer and turned his attention to August.
The fat-bellied black man has an expressionless face.
Augustus is helpless now. In fact, he really wants to throw the case away, but except for Blossom, the leader of the No. 1 investigation team, he has a good relationship with the leaders of the No. 2, 3, and 4 investigation teams. He doesn't want to because of this The case harmed future relationships.
As for choosing to solve the case, Investigation Team No. 5 had just been established, and he knew the abilities of everyone in the team. The only one who could count on solving the case was Luo An.
But a serial murder case was solved within 24 hours... Augustus had already begun to think about what he could do to make himself, Luo An, Lacey and others punished less harshly after the case failed.
Luo An didn't know what was going on in August's mind, but when he saw the expressionless black face on the other side, he thought that August was dissatisfied with Veranith's arrangement. He pondered for a moment and wanted to speak. Veranie spoke on the phone. Si’s voice came again:
"At the press conference in thirty minutes, I will issue an arrest warrant for this serial murderer with a reward of US$100,000."
100,000?
Thinking of some clues in his mind, Luo An's eyes lit up sharply, and he said with a righteous assurance:
"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely catch the real culprit within the stipulated time!"
August: "..."

On the other side, on the road from Washington back to New York, a dark car was driving quickly under bright street lights.
After reading the information in his hand, Broson, who was wearing a black suit, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his head and smiled at the driver:
"Matthews, you did a good job on this. By the way, how did you arrange that Joseph?"
The driver, Matthews, is the captain of the No. 1 Investigation Team and has been with Blossom for ten years.
From here we also see how thin the No. 5 Investigation Team is. There are several investigation teams in the No. 1 Investigation Team...
Now Blossom has been promoted to team leader. If nothing else happens, Matthews will be the leader of the No. 1 investigation team in the future.
Hearing Broson's words, Matthews smiled and replied:
"That Joseph is a street reporter. He was often beaten for secretly filming news, so I promised him to give him a one-year temporary agent status after completing this matter."
He is just a temporary agent. If something happens, he is no longer an agent. He has nothing to do with the FBI.
And because of the work content, it is normal to disappear sometimes.
"Good."
Blossom nodded with satisfaction. He was relieved that Matthews was doing the job, so he continued to ask:
"What's going on with Investigation Team No. 5 now? Is there any clue about the serial murder case?"
"Not yet, sir."
When he mentioned Investigation Team No. 5, Matthews showed a disdainful expression on his face, and then explained:
"I learned from the Trace Inspection Department that at the scene where the two victims were decomposed, except for half a fingerprint, no other information related to the murderer was found."
Blossom nodded after hearing this. In this case, the difficulty of solving the case has skyrocketed by several levels, especially since this is a serial murder case.
After thinking about it, Blossom asked again:
"Let your people keep an eye on the movements of Investigation Team No. 5, especially Roan Greenwood."
Except for Luo An, Broson did not think that anyone else in the No. 5 Investigation Team had the ability to solve the case.
"I have already sent someone, sir. If the other party makes any moves, I will know here."
Matthews's face showed the confidence that everything was under control, and said:
"As long as I'm here, this case will never be solved within 24 hours!"
"very good!"
Blossom showed a look of relief, turned to look out the car window, and began to speculate that the serial murder case had not been solved 24 hours later. When he snatched the five investigation teams from Veranith, what was on Veranith's face? what expression.
"It must be exciting..."
Blossom's eyes flashed with cold light as he muttered to himself.
