As soon as Luo An, Mona, and Lacey stepped out of the elevator, they saw Augustus who had just walked to the door of Investigation Team No. 5.
Seeing the agents behind him, Augustus immediately stopped where he was and asked:
"What's going on Ryder now?"
"It's nothing serious."
Luo An briefly described the doctor's diagnosis, and Augustus breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Waving his hand to signal the agents to return to their seats and do whatever they were supposed to do, Augustus pulled Luo An to his team leader's office.
"You did a great job this time! Roan!"
As soon as Luo An sat down on the chair, Augustus grinned and showed his molars. He did not elaborate on the content of the meeting, but Luo An heard the final result clearly:
Other agents are getting their pay tripled this week! Quadruple your bonus!
Moreover, the Hyena Gang matter is completely over. After sending those people to prison, Investigation Team No. 5 will receive a thank you payment, probably around 500,000 US dollars, and Luo An will receive part of it.
Not only that, August also got a guarantee from Verenis:
As long as Luo An can solve two cases in a short period of time again, Luo An will be promoted immediately and become a senior agent.
Luo An didn't care about the promotion, after all, his salary didn't increase much after the promotion.
But the bonus and the money he could get in the future made his eyes light up instantly:
"Thank you sir!"
"This is what you deserve."
Augustus waved his hands without saying anything, then suddenly put away the smile on his face, looked at Luo An solemnly, and said in a deep voice:
"Roan, according to the news sent to me by Veranith, our FBI New York branch plans to launch a 'Star Agent Project' recently."
"?"
Hearing August's words, Luo An was stunned. Can the two words agent and star be combined?
Seeing the confusion on Luo An's face, Augustus began to explain in detail:
"You also know that the crime rate in New York has always been high. Although our FBI detects a lot of cases every year, there are even more cases that are not successfully solved.
This has caused the New York media to have a low opinion of us, always saying that we are a waste of taxpayers' money. "
Although the New York Police Department has also been criticized, due to the size of the cases, most of the people who criticize the New York Police Department are civilians.
Most of the cases handled by the FBI are relatively special, and they often communicate with the rich and powerful, so the cases are not solved. Most of the people who accuse the FBI of being incompetent are these people.
Luo An understood the meaning of August's words, but he still didn't understand how the two words star and agent came together.
Could it be that the higher-ups are planning to establish an image of a detective who can solve crimes 100% of the time?
"No one dares to say that they can solve the case 100%."
Luo An wondered: "I don't believe that the top brass of the FBI don't know this truth."
"certainly."
Augustus nodded. Of course the senior management knew this, so they did not intend to establish an image of solving the case 100%:
"This 'Star Agent Project' actually plans to select a few good-looking detectives and let them tell the outside media about the investigation of the case. The detectives who actually solved the case will not appear in front of the media. .”
"What?"
Hearing this, Luo An was shocked:
"Are the higher-ups crazy? Let these vases take away the credit of the detectives who actually successfully solved the case?"
Once something like this happened, Luo An didn't dare to pat his chest and guarantee that he could solve every case, but he could pat his chest and guarantee that those so-called 'star agents' would 100% be blackmailed after get off work.
"You're overthinking, Roan."
Hearing Luo An's words, Augustus rolled his eyes on his big black face. Of course, it was impossible for the FBI's top brass to do this, so he continued to explain:
"These so-called 'star agents' are just a facade to deal with reporters, do you understand?
They will not say that they solved the case themselves, but will appear on behalf of some detectives and answer questions in front of reporters. "
"What about the credits and rewards after solving the case?"
"Of course it's the detective who actually solves the case who gets it."
After listening to August's narration, Luo An rolled his eyes. The whole plan sounded full of mistakes.
Those detectives who actually successfully solved the case, although they received their own rewards, were deprived of the right to be interviewed by the media. When they saw a pretty boy standing in for them on TV and talking about the process of solving the case, who knows what they were thinking in their hearts. .
Will he find an opportunity to quietly kill the opponent with one shot?
And what is the use of such a thing?
Shouldn't the core problem that really needs to be solved be to improve the success rate of solving crimes?
August also felt that this kind of thing was unreliable, so he mainly reminded Luo An today and said with a serious expression:
"Because you have been outstanding recently and you are almost the same as me in appearance, so you have been targeted by some people.
They may invite you to join this "star agent" program, and they may even want you to shout the slogan "100% case solving" and become a real "star agent," rather than a facade. "
It turned out to be a reminder not to be deceived or fooled by those people.
Luo An suddenly realized and understood the true purpose of August telling him this.
"Thank you, sir."
Luo An smiled and nodded, stood up and poured August a cup of coffee:
"I just want to solve crimes quietly and make money quietly. I don't want to be famous at all."
"Good."
Augustus nodded with satisfaction. He could see that Luo An was speaking his true thoughts.
In the vast land of the United States, there are many crazy people, or people with abnormal brains.
If the FBI really establishes an agent who can "100% solve crimes", then these people will definitely kill people in different ways, kill many people, commit all kinds of bizarre and horrific cases, and then let this agent go Detection.
Especially the group of 'uncrowned kings' in the United States. For the sake of ratings, except for some sensitive topics, they dare not talk about anything else. It is not impossible to turn this agent into Sherlock Holmes.
But if this detective fails to solve any of the cases, or makes some mistakes while handling the case, then...
It’s scary to think about.
Luo An just wants to solve the case, earn bonuses and appreciation fees, and enjoy his life. He has no intention of competing with those lunatics.
Making money silently is the way to go.
Dong dong dong——
There was a knock on the team leader's office. Luo An and Augustus turned their heads and saw that it was Lacey.
"The suspect Sean has been sent to the interrogation room."
"OK!"
Hearing Lacey's words, Luo An nodded towards August, stood up decisively and left the team leader's office.
But before he could reach the door of the interrogation room, a phone call suddenly came in.
Luo An took a look and saw that it was Agent Norton.
"Hello?"
After pressing the answer button, Luo An chuckled and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, our Investigation Team No. 5 successfully received the suspect Sean, and he is now in our interrogation room."
Luo An thought the other party was asking if he had successfully received the person.
"When we were interrogating the prisoner just now, we learned some new news, Luo An."
Norton on the other end of the phone grinned, his voice a little strange:
"Is your investigation team investigating a serial bank robbery case recently?"
