Upon hearing Veranith's inquiry, Mr. Clement, who was far away in Washington, leaned back and frowned:
"I don't know about this, Verenyth."
"But the order for the case came from Washington."
In the team leader's office, Veranith, who was holding the phone, looked unbelieving:
"And it just happened to be handed over to my Investigation Team Five."
Clement felt a little headache. After rubbing his temples and thinking for a long time, he said in a deep voice:
"I will try to help you get the details of the original operation later.
At the same time, after this case is over, I will find a way to get the CIA to provide you with some compensation. "
After all, this case was brought about by the CIA. With such a good opportunity, Clement himself would not let him go unless he got something from the CIA.
"Thank you, sir."
After hearing the answer she wanted, Veranith curled up her lips slightly and hung up the phone after a few words.
——
At the same time, the No. 5 investigation team office area.
Seeing Mona finally appearing and returning to her work station, Luo An, who was about to set off, turned around and asked with a smile:
"Mona, what did you do just now?"
"A little personal matter."
Mona smiled and said nothing more, then changed the topic:
"How far is this car accident case going?"
Seeing that the other party didn't want to say more, Luo An didn't ask in detail. When he heard Mona's question, Luo An spread his hands:
“The case is still at the first step.
But we have some extra bonuses, like now knowing who killed Evander. "
After briefly describing the situation inside the conference room to Mona, Luo An then said:
"Mrs. Heloise will send some information to our No. 5 Investigation Team later. You and William should seize the time to check this information.
I hope I can find useful information and find traces of that Jacquil. "
After listening to Luo An's words, Mona nodded with a stern expression, then raised her head and asked:
"how about you?"
Seeing Ryder packing his things and getting up and heading to the equipment room, Luo An explained while packing his things:
“I still wonder how Jacquel ensured that Evander’s car broke down in the woods and hit a big tree.
I went to the caller's house before, but I was busy arresting people and didn't have time to ask about it, so Ryder and I planned to go to the caller's house again to see if we could find any useful clues. "
"OK."
Mona looked stunned and threw an OK sign to Luo An.
Luo An smiled softly when he saw this, turned around and strode into the equipment room.
"Mona."
At this moment, the door to the team leader's office opened, and Augustus walked out with a puffy belly, waving:
"Come to my office."
"Okay, sir."
Mona's face changed slightly when she heard this, but after taking a deep breath, she quickly entered the team leader's office.
"sit."
In the team leader's office, Augustus didn't talk nonsense. After gesturing for Mona to sit down, he immediately asked with a serious face:
"Mona, Luo An should have told you the content of the meeting just now, so I won't repeat it again.
Because your father may be involved behind this case, I have only one request for you during the next period of time: you cannot go out on the field, okay? "
After hearing what Augustus said, Mona took a long breath and immediately nodded in agreement:
"No problem, sir."
"Good."
August nodded with satisfaction.
According to FBI regulations, an agent must take leave to avoid the case only if the subject of the case involves a relative of the agent.
In situations like this where the background of the case only involves relatives of the agents, FBI agents generally do not take vacations and will only work normally.
——
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Chance, who reported the car accident.
"Come in quickly, Agent Luo An."
The Chances were extremely excited to see Luo An again.
The wife hurriedly called Luo An and Ryder to come into the house and sit down, while the husband grabbed Luo An's hand and wouldn't let go:
"Thank you so much, Agent Luo An, thank you for saving our lives. If it weren't for you..."
Ryder on the side looked very surprised when he saw this.
I wasn't surprised that Luo An saved someone, but I was surprised by the attitude of Mr. and Mrs. Chance.
In the United States, it is rare to see people express their gratitude like this couple.
"You're welcome, Mr. Chance."
Luo An's mouth twitched and he forcefully pulled his hand out of Mr. Chance's hand:
"I came here mainly because I have some questions I want to ask."
"no problem!"
Mr. Chance nodded repeatedly, and his wife handed two cups of coffee to Roan and Ryder, and then smiled:
"Is it about the car accident?"
"That's right."
Luo An nodded and took out a notebook:
“When the car accident happened last night, you called the police and said that you had been following the car.
So you saw the whole process of the car accident clearly. Can you describe it to me in detail? "
There was no driving recorder at this time, otherwise Luo An wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble.
"Ok, no problem!"
Hearing Luo An's question, Mr. Chance nodded and recalled:
“It was around 10:30 p.m., and my wife and I were driving home from a concert.
The car that was involved in the accident was driving right in front of us, not very fast.
I originally wanted to overtake, but the area was a small forested area with a lot of curves. For safety reasons, I did not choose to overtake in the end.
Just when our two cars entered the middle section of the forest, the car in front of us suddenly shook for some unknown reason, then turned sharply to the left and hit a big tree on the side of the road hard..."
After listening to Mr. Chance's description, Ryder silently took a sip of coffee and then turned his attention to Luo An.
He didn't hear anything wrong.
"OK."
After briefly recording Mr. Chance's words in a small notebook, Luo An was silent for a moment, raised his head and asked:
"Did you call the police as soon as the car accident happened?"
"That's right!"
Mr. and Mrs. Chance nodded together and explained:
"After we saw that the car was involved in a car accident, we immediately called 911. The ambulance came very quickly and took the person away in a short time..."
When Luo An heard this, he frowned and continued to ask:
"After the car accident, how many cars were parked there? Is it just the car for you and your wife?"
"No, there should be two or three."
When Mr. Chance heard Luo An's words, he frowned and thought for a few seconds before saying:
“There were cars passing by on that road at the time, and some stopped to check the situation.
After the ambulance came, our couple left. There might be more cars behind us. "
"By the way, Agent Luo An, I remembered something!"
After hearing what Mr. Chance said, Luo An was about to continue asking when Mrs. Chance suddenly clapped her hands, looked at Luo An with joy and said:
"A family happened to pass by at that time, and I noticed that the child had a handheld camera in his hand. The family did not leave until the ambulance left.
If you want to see what happened that night, that kid's camera might be able to give you some help! "
After hearing Mrs. Chance's words, Luo An's writing hand paused and his eyebrows instantly raised.
——
Office area of Investigation Team No. 5.
After importing the video from the handheld camera into the computer, Mona's fingers began to fly on the keyboard.
A minute later, Mona froze, tilted her head to look at Luo An beside her, and spoke in a strange tone:
"One piece of good news and one piece of bad news, Roan, which one do you want to hear first?"
