"Did Lydia tell the truth?"
Hearing Luo An's words, Lacey looked shocked, then hurriedly swallowed the burger in her mouth, and said to the phone with a serious expression:
"Luo An, you won't torture Lydia, right? You must not do this!
If Lydia's lawyer asks for an injury examination later, all the answers you ask now will be rejected by the judge! "
"Forehead."
Looking back at Lydia sitting on the bed, Luo An twitched the corner of his mouth:
"Don't worry, I was measured and didn't torture her...
You'd better tell me Veranith's home address quickly. "
"O...K."
After a moment of silence, thinking of Luo An's previous performance in solving the case, Lacey still chose to believe him, so she said:
"Veranith's home is not very far from here. I can drive you there."
"OK, you give Veranith a call first, and I'll take Lydia downstairs right away."
Nodding, Luo An hung up the phone, turned to look at Lidya, and said with a serious expression:
"Lydia, I will take you to my commander and ask her to add you to the first-level witness protection list. But the premise is that you didn't lie to me just now, and you didn't play any tricks on the way to the commander's house. Do you understand? ?”
"Trust me, Roan."
It was about her own life, and Lidya looked very serious.
When Luo An untied the stockings on her legs but did not untie the handcuffs on her wrists, Lydia said nothing...
He rushed to the wine bottle next to the bed, grabbed a bottle of wine and drank it.
She was dying of thirst.
"Drink less, Lydia."
Luo An took out a women's coat from the hanger nearby, covered Lidia's bare shoulders, and smiled:
"I don't want her to suspect that I brought a drunkard to play pranks on her late at night when I meet the chief."
"Ah."
Throwing the bottle away, Lydia gave Luo An a fierce look.
Why do you drink so much wine, someone has no idea?
Luo An shrugged, "What does it have to do with me? I told you before, but you didn't believe it yourself."
——
On the way, Roan and Lydia sat in the back seat, and Lacey was responsible for driving.
At a traffic light, the car stopped slowly. Lacey saw the handcuffs on Lydia's wrists through the rearview mirror, and her eyelids jumped.
If I read it correctly, the handcuffs seemed to be the same handcuffs she used to play games on the bed with her female partner.
"What's wrong, Lacey?"
Seeing Lacey looking at him, Luo An asked doubtfully:
"Any questions?"
Lydia, who didn't know what she was thinking when she lowered her head, turned to Lacey when she heard this.
There is something wrong with both of you!
Lacey took a long breath, swallowed a lot of questions in her heart, and finally picked up the phone in the passenger seat and shook it:
"It's nothing, I just want to tell you that Verenis didn't seem to be in a good mood when she answered the phone just now."
Verenice was indeed in a bad mood.
She originally wanted to hide the fact that Luo An's application to join the foundation was rejected for a while.
When the "Lake Corpse Serial Murder Case" was solved, she would resubmit the application, and the matter passed quietly without Luo An's knowledge.
But he didn't expect that Lacey would suddenly contact him just now, saying that Luo An was in an emergency and would come to see him later... So should he tell Luo An this news?
If you tell me, as a leader, I promised to invite others, but later I told them that I didn't do it, where should I put my face?
If you don't tell, if Luo An asks...
In the study room of the apartment, Veranith looked at the small notebook in front of her, with a complicated expression and continued to struggle.
Ding dong——
The doorbell rang, and Veranith, who was bowing her head in thought, trembled. After waking up, she hurriedly walked towards the apartment door.
Seeing through the peephole of the door that the people coming were Luo An and the others, Verenis opened the door without hesitation.
But the moment the door opened, Veranith's pupils shrank instantly, and she suddenly discovered something:
She is wearing very baggy home clothes at this time!
"Good evening, sir."
The door opened and Luo An frowned when he saw Veranis in front of her who was wearing loose home clothes and light makeup on her face. Her temperament was far less cold than when she was at work.
But there was no change in his tone. Luo An grabbed Lidya beside him, brought her to him, and explained:
"Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you after get off work, but this is a serious emergency."
"Come into the house and talk."
Veranis had an expressionless face and a cold tone. She signaled Luo An and the others to enter the house and close the door to the apartment. Then she turned directly towards the bedroom and said at the same time:
"Wait for me in the living room and make your own coffee."
"OK."
Luo An and Lidya sat down on the sofa. Lacey went to the side to brew coffee. Lidya glanced in the direction of the bedroom, raised the corner of her mouth to Luo An's ear, and whispered:
"Do you like someone older than you?"
"No, I just simply like big ones."
Luo An glanced at Lidia, threw the lady's coat that fell on the ground into Lidia's arms, covered the tempting ditch, and said calmly:
"Stop playing around, Lydia. Veranith is the one who can decide your future life or death. You'd better leave a good impression on her."
Upon hearing this, Lydia's face fell. She wanted to continue to say something, but Lacey had already come back with several cups of coffee.
The three of them sat on the sofa and drank coffee silently.
A few minutes later, Veranith, who put on a women's suit and her makeup became cold again, walked out of the bedroom and said directly to the three people on the sofa:
"Luo An, come into the study. Lacey, keep an eye on this lady."
"Okay, sir."
Luo An stood up and left the sofa. Lacey sat down next to Lidya and asked in a low voice:
"Lydia, can you tell me the name and contact information of the new female bartender in your bar?"
Lydia: "..."
In the study room.
"sit."
Veranith's words were brief. After the two sat down, she stuffed the small notebook on the table back into the drawer.
After a few seconds of silence, Veranith decided to tell the other party about Luo An's rejection of joining the foundation, but Luo An suddenly stared at Veranith's face and asked in a deep voice:
"Sir, are you sure our conversation here is 100% safe?"
Luo An didn't think anyone was spying on the FBI's team leader, but it was always a good idea to be careful.
Upon hearing this, the expression on Veranith's face suddenly turned from cold to dark.
It was not that she was dissatisfied with Luo An for questioning the safety of the study, but that she found that the urgent matter Luo An mentioned was probably more urgent than she imagined.
"Wait a moment."
Without hesitation, Veranith opened a drawer at the bottom of her desk, which contained a large dark brown box.
Pressing the switch on the big box hard, Veranith raised her head and stared at Luo An:
"You can say it now."
After taking a deep look at Veranith, Luo An coughed lightly and said:
"Here's the thing, sir..."
After excluding the process of his interrogation of Lydia, Luo An told Veranith the whole thing in detail, and finally said with a solemn face:
"Sir, the stakes in this matter are too high. I, as an agent, can't make the decision. I can only give you more... I can only ask for your help."
