As soon as she reached the door of the office, Veranis walked out of it.
"Hello, sir."
Veranith nodded, without any nonsense, and walked directly around Luo An:
"follow me."
Seeing this, Luo An hurriedly followed, and the two entered the elevator. Veranith directly pressed the button in the elevator that led to the higher floor.
The elevator door slowly opened, and the words "Office of the Special Agent in Charge" in the distance of the corridor immediately caught Luo An's eyes.
When Luo An saw this, his eyebrows twitched. Before he could speak, Veranith had already walked out of the elevator quickly, went straight to the Special Agent in Charge's office, and knocked on the door.
"Wait a moment."
A hoarse middle-aged male voice came from the office. Luo An saw Veranith standing at the door waiting, and he decisively stood beside her.
Soon, the office door was opened, and an unexpected person appeared in front of Luo An.
"Hello, sir."
Matthews, wearing a black suit with a team leader badge on his chest, walked out of the office. When he saw Veranith, he hurriedly said hello with a smile.
But the moment he saw Roan behind Veranith, the smile on Matthews' face suddenly stiffened.
Veranith nodded and strode into the office without replying.
Luo An didn't receive the instruction and didn't enter. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at Matthews, with the corners of his mouth raised and a gentle smile on his face:
"Good afternoon, Chief Matthews."
When Matthews heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
He didn't understand why Luo An appeared here.
He's just a junior agent. How many levels are he different from a special agent supervisor?
There is a special reason for him to come here!
Thinking of the special reason, Matthews' heart trembled. Could it be because of the serial bank robberies?
But then Matthews shook his head.
It had been less than three days since the case was handed over to Investigation Team No. 5. What clues could be found in such a short time?
As for Veranith, did she drag Roan to meet with Special Agent in Charge Corbett?
Could it be... that a mistake was made during the handling of the case?
Thinking of this, Matthew's eyes suddenly lit up.
Before he could speak, the next second, Veranith's unique cold voice came from the office:
"Good afternoon, sir.
In that serial bank robbery case, my detective Roan Greenwood had already captured one of the robbers.
But this just involved the IRS group, and I am here to report the matter this time. "
Hearing this, Matthews, who was originally bright in his eyes, shrank his pupils instantly, and his expression when he looked at Luo An was full of disbelief.
Luo An didn't speak, but the smile on his face became warmer.
Sitting on the chair, Colbert, who looked a bit Mediterranean, was stunned when he heard Veranith's words. Then he put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and said in confusion:
"Caught one of the robbers? What do you mean?"
"Let Roan Greenwood explain the specific situation to you."
Veranith shook her head and said that this case was led by Roan Greenwood, and it would be more appropriate for him to explain the matter.
After taking a deep look at Veranith, Colbert closed the folder on the table, leaned back, and nodded:
"Roan Greenwood is already here, let him in."
Veranith nodded, turned to look at the door, and frowned when she saw Matthews still standing there:
"Matthews, let Roan come in. Remember to close the door when you leave."
Matthews: "..."
Without waiting for Matthews to answer, Luo An, who was standing at the door, simply adjusted his suit, raised the corners of his mouth, showed a sunny smile, walked up to Matthews, and whispered:
"Excuse me, Chief Matthews. The chief is calling me in."
"I……"
When Matthews heard this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Colbert in the office had turned his attention here. Matthews hurriedly took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, walked to the side and turned slightly sideways, signaling Luo An to enter the office.
"Thank you, sir."
Luo An smiled and nodded. After walking into the office, he also closed the office door.
The door closed a little too fast, and Matthews almost got hit in the nose, which made his face turn the color of pig liver instantly.
A lot of swear words were stuck in Matthews's throat, but considering Colbert in the office, he still didn't dare to curse out.
But her complexion directly upgraded from pig liver color to purple.
Luan didn't know Matthews' state in the corridor, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because at this time, Special Agent in Charge Corbett had already set his sights on him.
"Hello, sir, I am Roan Greenwood, an official agent of Investigation Team 5."
Walking to the desk, beside Veranith, Luo An smiled and said hello to Colbert in a neither humble nor condescending manner.
Seeing Luo An's tall and straight figure and handsome face, the slight discomfort that Colbert felt in his heart instantly disappeared. A slight smile appeared on his face and he asked directly:
"Tell me briefly the circumstances of the case."
"Okay, sir."
Luo An nodded, without any nonsense, and handed the case directly to Investigation Team No. 5. Everyone's efforts, guesses about the case, and the arrest process were described to the other party.
Finally, he said that the No. 5 Investigation Team has obtained important clues to the previous four robberies and believes that they will be able to complete the task of solving the case within the specified time.
"Good."
After listening to Luo An's narration, Colbert, who sat up straight without realizing it, nodded with satisfaction. After a few seconds of silence, he waved his hand and said:
"OK, you can go out."
"Okay, sir."
Luo An agreed decisively, nodded to Veranith who was standing aside, and immediately turned around and left the room without hesitation.
When he opened the office door, Matthews had disappeared.
But Luo An, who was attentive, saw that there seemed to be a fist mark on the wall diagonally opposite the office, and there seemed to be some blood in the fist mark.
Luo An grinned, closed the door and began to wait.
In the office, Colbert tapped his signature pen and nodded:
"He is indeed a talent."
The corners of Veranith's mouth raised slightly.
After a long silence, Colbert waved his hand:
"This case will be solved within the stipulated time. I will agree to the request you made before that does not violate the regulations."
"Thank you, sir."
After getting the answer she wanted, Veranith shook her little finger on her right hand, nodded and immediately left the room.
The office door was slowly closed. Colbert threw away his signature pen, leaned back, and began to close his eyes and rest.
"Roan Greenwood..."
Veranith returned to her office. As soon as Luo An returned to the No. 5 Investigation Team office area, Lacey came up to her and said with a smile:
"According to Namit, Brandon is the mastermind of the two cases."
"A dog bites a dog and bites the bullet."
Hearing this, Luo An shook his head.
Luo An didn't care at all who was the mastermind among the three. He had caught them anyway. The judge could sentence him however he wanted. He only cared about when the thank you money from the bank would arrive.
After the decoration of the small apartment was completed, Luo An didn't have much money left.
"Then what to do next? Luo An?"
Seeing that Luo An didn't care about this matter, Lacey shrugged, tilted her head and asked:
"Go and catch that Mrs. Helen?"
"No, let's go tomorrow."
Luo An shook his head and pointed at the clock beside him:
"It's time to get off work."
If I remember correctly, Norton seemed to have promised to treat him to dinner.
——
The next day, Mrs. Helen's strip club.
"Sorry, two agents."
In the office, after hearing Lacey asking about bank robbers, Mrs. Helen, who was over fifty but still charming, crossed her legs and said slowly:
"I really don't know about that group of bank robbers. You've got the wrong person."
"you sure?"
Hearing this, Lacey's eyes narrowed slightly, while Luo An sat aside and bowed his head in silence.
He was checking the rewards issued by the system yesterday.
