Monday, seven fifty in the morning.
In the parking lot of the Jacobs Federal Building, a Chevrolet slowly stopped. Roan took off his seat belt and got out of the car. Ryder, who was covered in lumps, also got out of the back seat of the car.
"I'm going to buy a cup of black coffee, Roan."
Ryder lowered his head and looked at his watch. Seeing that there was still a lot of time before the scheduled time for work, he pointed to the coffee shop opposite the parking lot, looked at Luo An and asked with a smile:
"Would you like a drink?"
"Of course! But just regular coffee, remember to add sugar and milk."
Luo An smiled bitterly: "I prefer sweets."
"OK."
Ryder grinned at him, nodded, and turned towards the coffee shop.
Luo An patted his somewhat heavy head, turned around and walked into the federal building.
After Augustus distributed the bonuses to everyone on Saturday, the agents left the office area decisively and went home to start their own weekend lives.
Many of the agents invited Luo An to sit in their homes, but Luo An smiled and shook his head and refused because he was in a hurry to deal with the apartment after receiving his salary and bonus.
The person above said hello, the apartment purchase and transfer process was very simple, and time was not wasted for too long. Before noon, Luo An got the keys to the apartment and the relevant contract certificates.
Then there is the matter of decorating the apartment.
The previous owner of the apartment had a very strange aesthetic. Luo An glanced around the rooms and saw black lines all over them, so he decided to throw them all away and redecorate them.
Luo An didn't know much about decoration, but he knew there were a lot of tricks in it, so he decisively took out his phone and prepared to find someone for help.
Mona couldn't do it. Not only was she talking to Augustus and didn't have time, but the small apartment she bought with a loan was the kind of apartment that had been renovated, so she couldn't help Luo An.
Neither can Lacey. Although she has claimed to rent a house in recent years, she has spent most of her time in hotels with other women.
If he asked her for help, Luo An felt that Lacey would most likely throw him a bunch of business cards of women who worked in decoration companies.
So Roan turned his attention to Ryder.
Ryder is married, has a wife and children, and a gun shop at home. He is the right person to hire for decoration.
Just before, Ryder had invited him to his gun shop, so Luo An no longer hesitated. After calling Ryder, he bought some beef and wine, and drove his Chevrolet to Queens.
Ryder's wife, Yvonne, is from Texas and is a former New York police officer.
During a certain mission, Yvonne's right eye was injured by a stray bullet. Although her life was not in danger, she was completely blind in her right eye and had a dark eyepatch on her forehead.
However, Yvonne had a good attitude. After Ryder and Luo An introduced their identities, Yvonne decisively threw her son to Ryder, took Luo An to the back of the gun store and started testing pistols.
After some bang-bang shooting, Yvonne and Roan became good friends.
Ryder: "..."
That night, a barbecue party was held in Ryder's backyard, and under Yvonne's introduction, Roan successfully met a lot of rednecks from Texas.
It was not that no one found trouble during this period, but after Luo An drank a bottle of strength potion through wine and beat everyone present at arm wrestling, Luo An instantly became a good brother in Texas.
Ryder: "..."
At the barbecue party, Luo An drank a little too much and slept at Ryder's house until the next day.
As soon as she got up from the bed and her head still hurt after washing, Ivana opened the door to the second bedroom and handed a bottle of wine to Luo An.
He said that there is no need to worry about headaches after drinking too much, just drink some wine to clear things up.
Luo An: "..."
Shaking his head to reject Ivana's kindness, Luo An hurriedly told Mr. and Mrs. Ryder that the apartment was being renovated and they needed help.
After listening to this, Ivana and Ryder said that this was all a trivial matter, and they agreed decisively. Ivana said that she would definitely help Luo An find a decoration company with reasonable prices, high-quality materials, and good technical skills.
Then there was another barbecue party.
Luo An: "..."
After the previous incident with Lydia, the system rated Luo An as excellent, and the treasure box opened [Stamina Potion x1, Strength Potion x1, Antidote Potion x1, Danger Sense Potion x1]
As for the parties over the past two days, the system gave Luo An a passing rating. The treasure chests contained [Strength Potion x1, Weakness Potion x1], [Strength Potion x1, Sleep Potion x1]
At this time, Luo An's system backpack contains [Stamina Potion x4, Fire Resistance Potion x1, Night Vision Potion x2, Scuba Breathing Potion x1, Strength Potion x2, Swiftness Potion x1, Antidote Potion x1, Danger Sense Potion x1, Weakness Potion x1, sleeping potion x1]
Taking the elevator of the Jacobs Federal Building to the floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, Luo An ran into the team leader Blossom and several of his men.
"Good morning, sir."
Luo An walked out of the elevator, grinning politely.
Blossom glanced at Luo An coldly, walked directly into the elevator without saying anything.
Behind him, a white man in a suit with an unhappy expression on his face snorted coldly as he passed by Luo An, but didn't say much.
Luo An raised his eyebrows. He didn't recognize the other party.
Watching the elevator door slowly closing, Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and walked into the No. 5 investigation team.
In the elevator, the white man with an unhappy face was none other than Matthews.
As an old man who had been with Blossom for ten years, Matthews learned that Blossom had been assigned to become the team leader of the newly established No. 14 Investigation Team. He did not hesitate and decisively chose to leave the No. 1 Investigation Team and follow Blossom together. Ruosen went to Investigation Team No. 14.
As the elevator slowly descended, Matthews was silent for a moment, walked to Blossom and asked in a low voice:
"Sir, there is still an unsolved serial murder case in the hands of Investigation Team No. 5. We..."
"Ignore them for now."
Looking away from Matthews, Blossom had mixed feelings about his old subordinate. After a moment of silence, he said:
"Let's handle our own cases first and keep an eye on them. I didn't tell you not to take any action."
"Okay, sir."
Matthews nodded, and the elevator door opened, and he hurriedly followed Blossom out.
Investigation Team 5.
At this time, Mona hadn't come yet, and Lacey was sleeping on the table again. Luo An looked around the office area of Investigation Team 5, and sat next to a male technician who was drinking coffee and chatting with others on the computer. , asked in a low voice:
"Good morning, William, any news lately about the new team leader Blossom?"
William Miller, 1.7cm tall, with deep features and thin build, is one of the technical staff of the No. 5 investigation team.
Depending on the requirements of the case, he is generally responsible for contacting other government agencies other than the FBI.
Such as CIA, NSA, etc.
But in Luo An's view, William's greatest ability is actually that he can always get new events happening in any corner and at any time in this building from his countless friends.
In this regard, even Lacey who came out of the Intelligence Department was not as strong as him.
