On the other side, when the SUV left the parking lot of the FBI's New York branch, a young white man wearing a suit and glasses walked out from behind a car.
"Sir, it's me, Jock."
The white young man took out his mobile phone and pressed a series of numbers. The other party answered after a few seconds. He said hurriedly:
"Luo An, who I am responsible for monitoring, left the headquarters with Agent Lacey and Mr. Darren. What should we do next?"
The person on the other end of the phone was Matthews. At this time, he was attending a small cocktail party held by Broson. After hearing what his subordinate Jock said, he put down the wine in his hand, looked at Broson who was delivering a speech, and said calmly:
"Follow Luo An immediately."
"Okay, sir."
Jock nodded, but then suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a few seconds and then asked:
"What about the reporters in the previous plan? Sir? Do you want to notify them?"
Not long ago, Blossom sent Matthews to secretly tell Joseph some information about the serial murder case and asked Joseph to send it to the TV station. Matthews felt that waiting for Veranis to solve the case after 24 hours was not safe enough.
So Matthews contacted some reporters and prepared to let those reporters follow the footsteps of Investigation Team 5 and show the failed investigation process of Investigation Team 5 to the audience in front of the TV.
Matthews did not tell Blossom about this, he planned to give Blossom a surprise.
Upon hearing his subordinate’s inquiry, Matthews immediately replied:
"Notify! Why not notify? Do you think Luo An and the others can find the murderer?"
"Of course not, sir."
Jock opened the car door and got into the driver's seat, laughing:
"This is a serial murder case. It was less than an hour before the press conference ended. How could Luo An and the others find the murderer so quickly without God's help?!"
"You're right."
Matthews nodded, drank the wine in the glass and said:
"That's it for now. If you have anything, please report it anytime."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ke pressed another number and called the reporter he had contacted before. After briefly explaining the situation, he turned the steering wheel and drove the car in the direction Luo An had just left.
He had previously installed a tracker under the chassis of Luo An's SUV.
At the small cocktail party, Broson, who had finished his speech, was holding a glass of wine and chatting with an elderly white man with silver hair.
After briefly thanking the other person for coming to his cocktail party, Blossom turned and walked towards the other person. When he saw Matthews on the side, he waved to the other person to come over.
"What's the matter, sir?"
Seeing Blossom's actions, Matthews hurriedly apologized to the beautiful girl in front of him, walked to Blossom's side, and asked in a low voice:
"Any arrangements?"
Blossom smiled and patted Matthews on the shoulder and said:
"Don't be nervous, I just saw you were on the phone just now. Did something happen?"
Matthews was relieved when he heard this and laughed:
"It's not a big deal. My men just told me that Roan Greenwood of Investigation Team 5 has gone out to look for clues, and he is ready to follow him."
"I'll leave this to you."
Blossom showed a look of surprise, but he didn't take it to heart.
The reason was simple. The press conference had just ended. He didn't think Luo An would be able to find the murderer so quickly. This time he went out just to find some clues and go out to investigate.
He patted Matthews on the shoulder and said that he was solely responsible for the matter. Then under Matthews' surprised gaze, Broson led him to an elderly white man wearing a suit, with a serious face and a big bald head. .
"Mr. Mattai, good evening, thank you for attending my cocktail party tonight. This is Matthews, who is my capable subordinate..."
"Hello, Mr. Congressman."
Matthews was very pleasantly surprised. Congressman Mattei was a strong contender for the governor of New York. He never expected that the other party would actually appear at Blossom's cocktail party, and that Blossom would introduce himself to him.
After hearing Blossom's introduction, Representative Mattai tilted his head and glanced at Blossom.
Seeing the corners of Blossom's mouth slightly raised, Councilor Mattai slowly raised the corners of his mouth, with a strange light shining in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and shook Matthews's hand, speaking in a kind tone:
"Hello, Matthews."
...
On the other side, after the press conference ended, Veranith stayed in the office of the special agent director (the superior of the team leader) for a long time before turning and walking towards the office area of Investigation Team No. 5.
Pushing open the door of the office area, she found that the agents of the No. 5 Investigation Team were busy in the office area. Verenis nodded imperceptibly.
Let’s not talk about whether he can solve the case or not, but at least his work attitude is okay.
"Sir."
Augustus, who was sitting in Luo An's position and analyzing the documents, saw Veranith and hurriedly stood up to greet her. Veranith asked directly:
"How is the progress of the case?"
That's what she asked, but Veranith didn't expect Augustus and the others to come up with any useful clues. After all, the press conference had just ended, and finding the murderer now was really...
"Luo An has gone to arrest the murderer, sir."
"???"
Hearing August's words, Veranith's deliberately cold look on her face almost stopped. After taking a few deep breaths, her mood completely cooled down, and she asked in a bad tone:
"You're kidding me?"
"No, sir."
August's dark face was full of seriousness, which made Veranith stunned. Before she could continue to ask questions, August picked up the documents on Luo An's desk and introduced Veranith:
"Here's the thing, the murderer..."
After listening to August's explanation, Veranith was a little dazed. After a long silence, she tilted her head and asked:
"Do you really believe in Roan Greenwood's judgment?"
Augustus spread his hands and wondered what he could do. Everyone in the No. 5 Investigation Team was a talented person, but Luo An was the only one who really had the brains and ability to solve crimes. If he didn't believe him, who would he believe?
"And it's not like we didn't do any investigation other than waiting for news from Luo An."
After beckoning the detective behind him to move a chair for Verenis, Augustus pointed at Mona and others and said:
"They are checking the trajectory and surveillance of the victims before they disappeared, and investigating the interpersonal relationships of the two victims. Ryder is questioning the families of the two victims."
All the detectives of Investigation Team No. 5 have carried out several directions of investigation to solve the case. Veranis was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked to August's team leader's office:
"If there is news from Luo An, tell me immediately."
"OK."
Walking into the office, Verenice locked the door and took out her mobile phone to make a few calls.
Blossom was obviously prepared this time, but Veranith had worked hard in the FBI for so many years before she climbed into the position of team leader as a woman. She couldn't be defeated by Blossom this time.
"Good evening, I'm Verenice..."
...
On the other side, seeing the intersection ahead being firmly blocked by a bunch of cars, but the SUV was still accelerating crazily and uncontrollably, both Lacey and Darren turned pale:
"Shit! It's going to crash!"
"Are you crazy, Luo An? Press the brakes! Move your legs!"
