A distant hospital.
Colbert was sitting in a wheelchair, watching the boring TV program in front of him, his lips were a little dry.
After learning this afternoon that Frederic Antonio was the real mastermind behind this case, Augustus immediately told Colbert and Veranith the news.
At the same time, Colbert and Veranith also received relevant news about this evening's operation.
Knowing that it was Luo An who was leading the team tonight to capture Garcia, Veranith was not very nervous in her heart.
A small action to catch people, Veranith believed that Luo An, who had never let her down, would not capsize in the gutter.
But Corbett is different.
The speed with which Luo An solved the case really shocked Colbert. Later, when he looked through the files of Luo An's case, Colbert was also shocked again by the action of using a pen to kill the murderer.
But personal bravery and leading a team in action are two different things. Cobot had never seen Luo An command an operation, and he was not sure whether Luo An had sufficient on-site command capabilities.
So at this time, Veranith, who was lying on the hospital bed in two adjacent wards, only felt a little anxious because of the long wait, but overall she was not nervous.
Feeling her lips were a little dry, she picked up the cup on the side and took a sip of water.
Colbert's face was solemn, and his dry lips were subconsciously ignored.
The injured left arm was bandaged and unable to move, so Colbert began to rub the thumb and index finger of his right hand continuously.
Time passed by, and just when Cobot was impatient with waiting and was about to turn his wheelchair to go to the toilet, the cell phone in the room suddenly rang.
Jingle Bell--
When Cobot saw this, he immediately pressed the answer button.
"Good evening, sir!"
August's iconic loud voice came from the other end of the phone, and he smiled and said loudly:
"The operation tonight was a complete success. Garcia was successfully arrested and has now been sent to the hospital for rescue."
"Well done!"
When Colbert heard this, he let out a long breath.
After listening to August's brief description of tonight's action, Capote's smile became even brighter, and his evaluation and affirmation of Luo An in his heart rose to another level.
He finally understood why Veranith valued Luo An so much.
He has brains and means, is efficient in solving crimes, and has very strong marksmanship.
And he's handsome.
If he hadn't known that Luo An was a member of Verenis, and that he would be promoted and transferred soon, Colbert would have already thought about how to transfer Luo An to his subordinates.
After praising and affirming Augustus, Luo An, and the agents of Investigation Team 5, Corbett called the Deputy Director of the FBI New York Bureau.
The deputy director, who was sleeping, immediately became energetic when he heard the news.
After confirming repeatedly that the case had been solved and that the mastermind and the actual operator had been caught, the deputy director raised his eyebrows and immediately decided to hold a press conference tomorrow.
At the same time, the deputy director also picked up his notebook and carefully wrote down the name Roan Greenwood.
After hanging up the phone, Colbert went to the bathroom with a smile on his face to resolve his internal conflict, and then lay back on the hospital bed.
After a moment of silence, Colbert took out his cell phone and called the white young man who had previously notified Luo An and Augustus to come to see him:
"Ike, go to the office tomorrow morning and bring me the red folder in the corner of your desk."
At the same time, next door, Luo An also told Veranith the news of the success of the mission.
"Thank you for your hard work, Luo An."
After hearing the news, Veranith had a faint smile on her face.
She didn't smile too much, after all, the wound on her stomach hadn't healed yet, and it was still hurting faintly.
"No hard work, sir, this is what I should do."
Luo An on the other end of the phone grinned, and then briefly described tonight's actions to Veranith.
Immediately afterwards, Luo An put away the smile on his face, silently walked to the corner, and asked in a low voice with a solemn face:
"Sir, what are you going to do about Frederic Antonio?"
This guy only has the word revenge in his eyes now. If he can cause one bombing, he can cause a second bombing.
Moreover, he threatened Luo An not long ago to kill his whole family.
Although it is a bit difficult to do this, after all, Luo An is alone now.
"You don't have to worry about this."
After hearing Luo An's words, Veranis was silent for a moment and said coldly:
"Frederick Antonio will be sent to a correctional center."
As the son of Ermenehildo Antonio, a major drug lord, Frederic Antonio, who dumped a large amount of flour to New York, had countless enemies in New York.
Entering a correctional center, a place that is heavily infiltrated by New York gangs and filled with enemies, Frederic Antonio will not survive long.
In order to prevent the agents of the former No. 5 Investigation Team from being retaliated against later, Veranis dispersed those agents to other departments.
But never expected that Veranith herself would become Frederic Antonio's revenge target.
This time the other side dared to be so crazy as to have someone plant a bomb in the Jacobs Federal Building. What about next time?
Unruly guards, money-grubbing lawyers. Frederic Antonio always had a way of getting word out of prison.
As for why not wait for the judge to sentence Frederic Antonio to death for this case and let the law end his life.
The reason is simple. In the United States, criminals have the right to choose the jury system.
Faced with the death penalty, the jury system requires 100% approval, so the miscarriage rate is extremely high.
And even if the death penalty can be imposed, the trial cycle in the United States is extremely long, and it is normal for the execution to be delayed for more than ten years or even decades.
It really takes so long...
After chatting briefly for a while, Veranith hung up the phone early before her health recovered.
A few days later, Luo An learned from William that not long after Frederic Antonio entered the correctional center, he accidentally drowned in the toilet while taking a shower...
——
The next day.
Because they worked overtime last night to search for clues and arrest people, the agents of the No. 5 Investigation Team came to work at 2:30 this afternoon.
As usual, after the case was solved, the work process was the same. After the detectives sat down at their workstations, some began to contact the court judge to determine the trial date, while others began to write a case report on the explosion.
The TV hanging at the front of the office area was playing a press conference from the deputy director of the FBI's New York branch.
Of course, before the press conference began, a large number of FBI agents carefully inspected the site where the press conference was held several times.
FBI agents also conducted detailed inspections of the belongings of reporters who attended the press conference.
What stands out is a carefulness and safety.
Sitting at his workstation, Luo An appeared to be watching the press conference on TV, but in fact he was looking at the light blue system page in front of him.
After yesterday's experience, the system's evaluation of Luo An was no surprise, and it was still excellent.
Immediately afterwards, Luo An opened the treasure box that he had not had time to open last night.
