"Just a possibility."
Luo An rubbed his temples. The folder in his hand only contained a general outline of the bank robbery, and did not contain the testimony of witnesses at the crime scene.
The document that Veranith gave him before contained only the general process of Blossom's investigation of the bank robbery, and there were also no details.
Therefore, Luo An's judgment on this case is just a reasonable speculation.
"Okay, Roan."
Seeing Luo An frowning and thinking, Mona turned back and started typing on the keyboard again with her fingers flying:
"We are not responsible for this case. Didn't Veranis tell you just now that she would not take the case?"
On their way back to the Jacobs Federal Building, Roan had called Veranith and said that after their investigation, the laundry owner was not actually the robber in the bank robbery.
Veranith didn't say much after learning the news. She first said that Luo An had worked hard and asked him to go back to the federal building to rest. Then she said that she would go to the group leader's meeting soon and would elaborate after she finished the meeting. this matter.
The meeting that Veranith attended was an arrangement meeting after Broson, one of the team leaders, failed to find the bank robber within the specified time.
"No, Mona."
Sitting on the chair, Luo An held his chin in his hand and thought for a long time. He thought carefully about what happened in the past few days, and then grinned:
"Veranith should take the case."
"What?"
After hearing this, Mona's expression suddenly changed.
Because of William's existence, she knew more or less about Blossom's punishment after he failed to solve the case. In this case, Veranith still took over the case...
"It's okay, Mona."
Seeing the worried expression on Mona's face, Luo An chuckled and comforted:
"We are different from Blossom."
Mona was stunned:
"What's the meaning?"
"Because we in Investigation No. 5 have never done anything to hinder people behind their backs."
Luo An pursed his lips and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking about the general outline of the matter.
Logically speaking, it's just a bank robbery. There have been many cases in New York, a place with simple folk customs, and many of them have not been solved.
Under such circumstances, Blossom was actually asked to set a time to solve the case this time, which always felt like something was wrong.
However, as long as you think about the fact that Blossom secretly contacted reporters behind his back when he solved the last kidnapping case that escalated into a serial murder and body dismemberment case, all this becomes reasonable.
Their fourteen investigation teams are the front-line operations department. How could they not see this kind of naked dragging down of teammates if the people above are not blind?
The superior was very angry and the consequences were serious.
Veranith once told Luo An that Blossom joined another foundation, so it was inconvenient for superiors to fire Blossom directly.
However, he was later assigned to the newly established Investigation Team No. 14 and made Blossom serve as the team leader of that investigation team. This was an easy thing for the superiors to do.
The second step is to find a case with a big or small outcome, hand it over to Investigation Team 14, and then use words to force Blossom to set a timetable for solving the case...
Thinking of this, Luo An laughed.
If Luo An did not solve the case at that time and Blossom recommended himself to handle the case, the superiors would have to endure it for the time being in order to deal with the group of reporters outside. While punishing Veranith, they would also allocate part of her investigation team to Blossom. .
Then figure out how to deal with Blossom.
But Luo An successfully solved the kidnapping case that escalated into a serial murder and body dismemberment case... This was the knife that was actually inserted into Blossom's chest and gave his superiors a reason to take action.
This is also the real reason why Blossom hates Luo An so much. Because without Luo An, he has succeeded.
After thinking about this, Luo An realized a lot.
If he guessed correctly, Blossom would definitely be punished during the meeting, because this was decided before.
But after the case is handed over to other people, the punishment for failure to solve the case may be far less severe than Blossom.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Luo An's phone rang.
Luo An pressed the answer button, and Veranith's cold voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Come to me, immediately."
"Okay, sir."
Luo An's lips curled up slightly and he agreed decisively.
Although Veranith's voice didn't change much, Luo An still heard the underlying excitement in her tone.
——
"sit."
After knocking on the door and entering Veranith's office, the other party still didn't talk nonsense. After letting Luo An sit down, he directly crossed his legs, leaned back, and said in a cold voice:
"Luo An, I took over this serial bank robbery case."
"Okay, sir."
Luo An smiled and nodded without any other expression.
This made what Veranith wanted to say pause. She looked at Luo An carefully for a long time, and Veranith pursed her lips slightly:
"You think very quickly."
Without waiting for Luo An to speak, Veranis directly pulled out a folder from the desk and handed it to Luo An:
"This is the handover report on the serial bank robberies. Investigation Team No. 14 will hand over the case to your Investigation Team No. 5 later."
"OK."
Luo An nodded, and after accepting the file, he didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at Veranith quietly.
When Veranith saw this, she didn't pretend to be false and said directly:
"In the meeting just now, after the special agent supervisor learned that Blossom had not solved the case within the stipulated time, he scolded him and then announced on the spot that he would be transferred to the suburban branch of the FBI's New York Division."
Upon hearing the news, Luo An immediately grinned.
Sure enough, the special agent in charge took action against Blossom.
Seeing the expression on Luo An's face, Veranith was also in a good mood, and continued with a curl of her lips:
“After Blossom left the conference room, the special agent director asked our four team leaders who could take the case.
Of course, the time limit for solving this case is one week.
After failing to solve the case, there will still be punishment, but it is only a punishment for the supervisor of our team and has nothing to do with the grassroots detectives. "
Seeing the raised corners of Veranith's mouth, Luo An knew that this so-called punishment was definitely not serious, otherwise the other party would not have this attitude.
And the other party specifically said that it had nothing to do with the grassroots agents...
Think again about Broson who was sent out...
Luo An suddenly realized that his superiors had specifically told him this.
"If the case is successfully solved within a week, it will even take less than a week."
Putting her legs away, Veranith's curvy body leaned forward slightly, crossed her fingers on the table, licked her lips, and looked at Luo An with slightly narrowed eyes:
"There are rewards."
"..."
Hearing Veranith's brief words this time and seeing the expression on the other person's face, Luo An was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on his face.
According to the Eastern custom in my previous life, the fewer words, the bigger the matter.
The Federation doesn't talk about this, but Veranith herself has always been crisp and direct in her speech.
This time the other party's words were so brief, so the reward afterwards...
Thinking of Veranith's superior, Luo An stopped talking nonsense and immediately smiled and nodded in agreement:
"Okay, sir, I will do my best to investigate this case."
"Good."
Veranith nodded, she liked people like Luo An who could tell everything at once.
