Sunday, 8pm, Katharine Hepburn Pub.
"cheers!"
At a round table deep in the bar, August, Roan, Mona, Ryder, and Lacey raised their glasses together.
"I'm glad to receive your invitation."
August drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then took a long breath and smiled at everyone:
"I haven't had such a happy time drinking for a long time!"
Lacey picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for August again. At the same time, she tilted her head and asked with a smile:
"Is your wife very strict about this?"
Investigation Team No. 5 has not been established for a long time, and everyone only has a rough understanding of the family circumstances of the members of the investigation team.
Such as whether you are married and family members, etc.
For other details, members of the No. 5 Investigation Team are not very clear to each other.
"My wife? NO, I never drink until I'm unconscious, so she doesn't care about my drinking."
Hearing Lacey's words, Augustus smiled and shook his head, then patted his big belly:
"But my daughter cares about this, so..."
Augustus didn't finish his words, but everyone present nodded in understanding.
"To be honest, Lacey, the bar you chose is a bit unexpected."
Sensing the quiet music in the bar and the harmonious gathering of people around him, Ryder took a bite of the food on the table, tilted his head to look at Lacey, and said with a smile:
"When Luo An told me before that you would choose the venue for tonight's party, I thought you would take us to a bar with a catwalk."
"The bars in the takeaway show are all my treasures. I will never tell you their addresses."
Hearing this, Lacey put down the bottle and turned her head and rolled her eyes at Ryder:
"And I'll give you the address. Do you have the guts to go?"
Yvonne was not easy to mess with, and Lacey, who had gone shopping and chatted with her, knew this very well.
Mona also learned about this from Lacey, and immediately turned her head with interest and turned her attention to Ryder.
"Why don't you dare?"
Seeing the looks in the eyes of the two women, Ryder immediately widened his eyes, with a serious face, and patted his chest hard:
"I'm going there to investigate the case. Is there any problem?"
Lacey and Mona immediately rolled their eyes. Luo An chuckled and said nothing, but turned his eyes to August again:
"Sir, how was our No. 5 investigation team established? Can you tell us?"
This question has been in Luo An's mind for a long time.
Apparently they have a total of thirteen investigation teams, and they recently established a No. 14 investigation team.
Why is their newly established investigation team ranked fifth.
Moreover, all the staff are new, and there is no one from the original No. 5 Investigation Team.
Luo An's question also aroused the interest of the remaining three people.
Mona, like Luo An, had just joined the No. 5 Investigation Team not long ago and did not know the specific situation.
After Ryder and Lacey were transferred to Investigation Team No. 5, they subconsciously thought there was a secret behind the matter because of their previous work relationship, so they didn't ask.
Now that Luo An mentioned this matter, they naturally wanted to know the answer behind it.
"There's nothing that can't be said."
Seeing that several people on the table were all looking at him, Augustus raised his eyebrows. After drinking another glass of wine, he gestured for everyone to come to him.
Seeing this, the four people from Luo An hurriedly straightened up and leaned over.
Then I heard Augustus whisper:
"In fact, I do not know."
Four people: "..."
Seeing the wonderful expressions on the faces of Luo An and others, Augustus raised his head and laughed.
"Okay, no more joking."
After laughing for a while, when Luo An and the other four began to discuss several ways to escape the bill in front of him, Augustus hurriedly waved his hands to indicate that it was just a joke.
After coughing twice, the four of them approached August again, only to hear August whisper with a serious expression:
"Actually, that's a contingency plan."
When the No. 5 Investigation Team still existed, it had handled a major case involving a drug lord from a certain South American country dumping flour into New York.
That case lasted half a year. Members of the former No. 5 Investigation Team not only successfully destroyed the drug lord's drug trafficking chain, but even captured the drug lord's son who was responsible for operating this route.
After learning that his son was caught by the FBI and sent to jail to pick up soap every day, the drug lord was furious.
While he was trying to find a way to save his son, he kept sending killers into the federal territory, trying to kill all the members of the former No. 5 investigation team responsible for the case.
Veranis didn't know where she got this news. For the safety of the people below, she chose to seal all the files related to this case. At the same time, she disbanded all the members of the former No. 5 investigation team and dispersed them to the FBI New York branch. other departments of the Ministry.
Hearing this, Luo An raised his eyebrows. Veranith was indeed a good and humane commander.
Then he asked in a low voice:
“What about the big drug lords in South America?”
Veranith does care about human nature, but she also has a petty character. Luo An feels that Veranith will most likely not keep her.
"He died half a year ago. The cause of death was sudden myocardial infarction."
August picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip and said with a smile:
"After his death, the power was divided among his former subordinates, and the killers who entered the federal territory were also eliminated.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Veranis did not recall the former No. 5 Investigation Team, but instead established a new No. 5 Investigation Team.
That's us. "
Upon hearing this, Ryder, Lacey, and Mona looked at each other and laughed.
Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and found that the thighs behind Veranith's back seemed thicker than he thought.
Luo An dare not say 100% of the big drug lords in South America, but 70% are supported by relevant American departments.
On the surface, these people are drug lords, but in fact they are agents of relevant departments.
This kind of person, Veranith can actually find a way to kill him...
Although he didn't know what method Verinis used, Luo An took a sip of wine, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and in his heart increased the importance of Verinis to him.
At the same time, he silently made up his mind:
“I’m sure of this thigh, even Jesus can’t stop me!”
As for whether the drug lord really died of myocardial infarction...
Thinking of what Lidia, the female owner of the Fire Queen Bar, said before, and then thinking about the CIA who does all kinds of evil, Luo An felt that there might not be that many coincidences in this world.
The few people continued chatting for a while, and Ryder suddenly remembered something, tilted his head and asked:
"By the way, Luo An, didn't you make an agreement with Agent Norton from the Organized Crime Investigation Division to go fishing together?"
Before Luo An could answer, Mona frowned, turned around and asked:
"Fishing? Luo An, do you have a fishing license?"
In the United States, fishing is not free, and you must have a fishing license to fish in public places.
She didn't want to see Luo An being fined by the NYPD for fishing without a license.
"I don't have a fishing license, but yesterday was a free fishing day in New York."
People without a fishing license can also fish on this day, so Luo An went fishing with Norton yesterday.
"How many fish did you catch?"
Ryder's eyes lit up, and August looked at Roan with interest.
"Norton caught a few bass."
Seeing the look in their eyes, Luo An shrugged:
“But when I got there, I realized I’d forgotten something, so I didn’t fish and just watched Norton catch fish all morning.”
"Forgot something?"
Lacey next to her suddenly raised the corners of her mouth when she heard this:
"You probably didn't bring your fishing rod."
Mona covered her mouth and snickered when she heard this. After Ryder and August were stunned for a moment, they also grinned.
"NO."
Luo An shook his head:
"I brought my fishing rod, but I forgot my helmet."
Four people: "???"
