This press conference was not broadcast live, so the agents of the No. 5 Investigation Team did not watch the TV.
Luo An sat at his workstation, leaning on his chin and looking at the computer.
According to the information on the computer, Zem Mattei is 66 years old and is the third generation of the Mattei family. His current goal is to run for office and become the governor of New York State.
If he succeeds in this election, if he works hard for a few more years, he may even have a chance to become the president of the United States.
His son, Wilbur Mattei, is 34 years old and currently serves and works in the Prosecutor's Office of the District of Brooklyn, New York.
"The standard American political family."
Luo An frowned slightly when he saw the information on the computer.
Political families are an obvious social phenomenon in the United States where clans govern the country.
The more famous ones include the Adams family, the Roosevelt family, the Bush family, etc., and these families have produced at least two American presidents.
But for the people in the East, it is the Kennedy family that knows more.
Because the family itself is shrouded in a mystery called the 'Kennedy Curse':
From 1941 to 2009, nearly ten 'Kennedys' died of unnatural deaths.
The most famous among them is the president who likes to laugh.
The Mattai family certainly does not have the energy to radiate across the country as the above-mentioned families, but with three generations of hard work in the city of New York, and their energy and connections radiating throughout New York, it is definitely not a difficult task for them.
As we all know, the famous DC comic attraction: Gotham City, a city with simple folk customs, is based on New York.
In reality, the city of New York is very densely populated, and more than 20% of the population actually lives below the poverty line.
Coupled with cultural phenomena such as drugs and gangs, and America's constant call for freedom of propaganda...
Anyway, the annual felony prosecution record in New York City is based on 100,000.
Veranith has said before that Congressman Mattei's campaign slogan is "lowering the crime rate in New York."
After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, Luo An turned to look at Mona who was typing on the keyboard and said:
"Mona, can you find out more information about Representative Mattai?"
"more info?"
Mona turned around immediately after hearing this and raised her eyebrows:
"What kind of information?"
Luo An showed a smile, nodded and whispered:
"Except for what's in this computer now, all the other information!"
Old foxes like Congressman Mattai, who have been immersed in American politics for many years, may use any despicable means to achieve their goals.
In order to protect himself, the first thing Luo An has to do is to figure out the opponent's target.
Luo An couldn't do this just with the existing public information in his computer. He needed some other information.
After hearing Luo An's words, Mona did not hesitate, and immediately started typing on the keyboard with her ten slender fingers:
"You're going to buy me a dinner."
"no problem."
Luo An, who had just received a huge sum of money, grinned and nodded decisively in agreement.
Ten minutes later, Mona stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Luo An with a serious face:
"A good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"...I hate this sentence, Mona."
Luo An was speechless when he heard this. He sighed and then raised his head and said:
"You can say whichever one you want to say first. I'll leave the choice to you."
"It's boring."
Mona curled her lips, turned her gaze back to her computer screen, and said:
“The bad news is that Congressman Mathai is clean.
Although he is 66 years old this year, he only had one drunk driving incident when he was 25 years old.
For the rest of the decades, Congressman Mathai never had a criminal record. "
Hearing this, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, then spread his hands to signal Mona to continue.
"The good news is that I found a piece of news that was published in the newspaper."
Mona showed the page on the computer to Luo An and said with a dark face:
“Six years ago, a white mother went to the NYPD to report that her 13-year-old daughter was missing.
Half a year later, the NYPD successfully captured a criminal organization that trafficked in minors.
In the account books of this organization, the white mother’s daughter’s photo, name and other information appeared.
According to records, the 13-year-old daughter was sold to a wealthy man in the New York area.
But after investigation, it was found that this rich man's company was a shell company, and he himself was most likely just a glove. The other party was actually working for a certain congressman. "
This congressman is none other than Congressman Ma Tai.
However, due to insufficient evidence and the instruction of NYPD senior officials, the investigation against Congressman Mattai was dropped.
During this period, several NYPD police officers who tried to continue investigating the matter were transferred to small branches in suburban New York.
Not only that, the rich man was shot in the back in his garage and committed suicide before the police caught him.
"..."
After reading the information on the computer and thinking about the Loli Island incident in later generations, Luo An's face became gloomy and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Roan?"
Seeing Luo An staring at the computer screen without speaking, Mona tilted her head and asked:
"Why do you want to investigate this Member of Parliament?"
Mona didn't know that Representative Ma Tai came to attend the press conference downstairs today.
When she was asked to check the basic information of Representative Ma Tai just now, Mona did not ask the reason and just checked it.
Mona has always believed in Luo An.
After hearing the question, Luo An came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and briefly recounted the incident.
"So, what do you mean"
After hearing what Luo An said, Mona covered her mouth and exclaimed:
"Congressman Mattai is targeting you now?!"
"..."
This sentence sounds fine, but when combined with the news just now, there is something wrong with Mr. Luo An's words.
But Luo An doesn't panic. He is 25 years old this year, which is far beyond the category of minors.
Shaking his head, Luo An threw aside the messy thoughts in his mind. Just as he was about to speak, Mona asked with a solemn face:
"Luo An, what are you going to do next?"
Luo Arranging patted his arm, left the chair and stood up.
He planned to take a stroll downstairs to see why Congressman Ma Tai attended this press conference.
If he really came here for him, Luo An would look for an opportunity to meet with Congressman Ma Tai after the press conference.
No matter what the other party's purpose and ideas are, you can get more information only by meeting and chatting.
Avoiding doesn't solve the problem.
Luo An returned to Investigation Team No. 5 before, mainly because he did not want to attend the press conference, and at the same time he was looking for Mona to investigate relevant information about Congressman Ma Tai.
Drop - drop -
Just as Luo An was about to briefly express his thoughts to Mona, an alarm suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the No. 5 Investigation Team office area.
"Shit!"
The moment they heard the siren, the expressions of all the agents of Investigation Team No. 5 suddenly changed.
Because this siren means that there is an emergency in this building, and everyone is asked to evacuate the building quickly.
Luo An was also startled, but before he could ask what happened, William on the side suddenly exclaimed:
"Damn it! There was an explosion just now at the press conference!"
William can always get the news immediately about what happens in this building.
"What did you say?"
"How can it be?"
"What's going on?"
Hearing this, the agents of Investigation Team No. 5 frowned, and Luo An's expression also changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked loudly:
"William! Where is the team leader Veranith? She..."
After hearing Luo An's question, William immediately answered loudly:
"The team leader was also injured, but the specific circumstances are not clear!"
