Seeing the pleading look in Mona and Lacey's eyes, Luo An sat down on the chair with a solemn expression.
"You need to know one thing."
Picking up a folder from the desk, Luo An looked at the two women in front of him and said seriously:
"It was a serial murder case."
Upon hearing Luo An's words, Mona and Lacey were stunned at first, and then their expressions changed when they realized what they were saying.
Yes, that was a serial murder case.
In the previous life of 2020, the homicide detection rate in the United States was only 54%.
Among them, the detection rate of serial murder cases should not be mentioned.
The time is still 2005, and the level of technology and equipment is far inferior to that of that time.
Lacey and Mona don't know what will happen in the future, but they also know how difficult it is to solve a serial murder case.
Every serial murder case that is solved is either on the New York news or in the FBI's internal textbooks.
After the last [Lake Corpse Case] was solved, several news media in New York City sent interview requests to Luo An of Investigation Team 5, hoping to get him on TV.
But Luo An only wanted to make money quietly and didn't want to attract a group of lunatics and perverts because of his fame, so he rejected them.
Even so, the case eventually attracted the attention of some within the FBI who managed the case files.
This case has a high probability of being included in the textbooks of the FBI training academy in the future.
Just because the procedure is cumbersome, I don’t know how long I have to wait.
Everyone in the No. 5 Investigation Team knew about this, and of course Mona and Lacey also knew about it.
But because in the recent period, Luo An has repeatedly successfully solved cases, which miraculously increased Luo An's case detection rate after joining the No. 5 Investigation Team to 100%, so Mona and Lacey will think of Luo An when they encounter a case.
The two of them have subconsciously ignored the difficulty of the serial murder case, believing that as long as Luo An takes action, there is no case that cannot be solved.
It wasn't until they heard Luo An's reminder that Mona and Lacey remembered that Luo An could not guarantee the detection of every case.
"Feel sorry."
After thinking about this matter, although Lacey and Mona showed a hint of disappointment in their eyes, they still expressed their apologies to Luo An.
It was only because they were both women and felt sympathy and indignation for Philomena's experience that they subconsciously hoped that Luo An would take the case.
"no need to say sorry."
Luo An waved his hand, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, the corners of his mouth raised slightly:
"I'm going to have a chat with Augustus later, and then take over this serial murder case."
After hearing this, Lacey picked up her clothes and was about to leave the office area to apply for a search warrant. She suddenly turned around in surprise.
Mona, who was checking the information again, heard this and typed several wrong letters in an instant, and looked at Luo An in shock.
Seeing the smile on Luo An's face, Mona still didn't understand that Luo An was teasing her just now, so she rolled her eyes and patted Luo An's arm hard.
Luo An, who was very happy at first, smiled and handed the folder in his hand to the two of them:
"The information shows that the NYPD has not handed over this serial murder case to any FBI investigation team."
In this case, there will be no problem of competing for cases with other investigation teams and ultimately causing conflicts.
Not only that, the location where the body was found was on the south side of Long Island, and the government originally had a development plan for that area.
But now, because of the serial killings with 22 corpses there, the development plan has been stalled. In desperation, the government has publicly offered a reward of 200,000 US dollars to catch the real murderer of this case.
Armed with Salbato-Christo's name and profession, Mona quickly found his way to where he is now.
After getting the exact information about the location, the heavily armed Roan and Ryder did not hesitate and immediately set off with a team of SWAT members to arrest Salbato Cristo.
Salbato-Cristo was at a private jet parking lot in the suburbs of New York. When Luan and Ryder arrived, Salbato was about to board a small private jet.
A SWAT team member parked his car in front of the small private plane and blocked the plane's path.
After Ryder and several other SWAT team members waited for the car to stop, they immediately ran out of the car, raised their rifles, aimed at Salbato Cristo and shouted:
"Don't move!"
Standing in the middle of the stairs of the private jet, Salbato Cristo saw the heavily armed SWAT team members looking extremely ugly.
As soon as he turned around, Luo An also drove his SUV behind the private plane.
Wandering up to Salbato Cristo, who was being held up by Ryder's gun, Luo An took out the handcuffs and cuffed them on his wrists, saying expressionlessly:
"Congratulations, Mr. Christo, you won't have to fly for the next few decades."
Salbato Cristo's face turned pale when he heard this.
——
The next day, Investigation Team No. 5.
"Luo An, this is the gift Philomena asked me to bring to you."
Early in the morning, as soon as Luo An sat down on his chair, Lacey came over with a smile on her face and carried a small box.
After hearing what Lacey said, Luo An, who was about to stretch his waist, paused, tilted his head and asked:
"Gift? What do you mean?"
"literal meaning."
Putting the small box on Luo An's desk, Lacey smiled and replied:
"Salbato Cristo has offended too many people and has many cases against him. Before, he just couldn't be arrested because there was no evidence.
After we arrested him this time, after discussions with the prosecutor, Philomena, as the most important witness, successfully joined the witness protection program.
When this case is over, Philomena will change her name and identity and spend the rest of her life anonymously in other cities within the Federation. She will also have the opportunity to bring her parents into the Federation.
So to express her gratitude, Philomena specially prepared this gift for you. "
Opening the box on the table, I found a silver men's watch inside. I could tell at a glance that it was worth a lot of money.
Seeing this, Luo An raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, tilted his head and asked:
"Have you told Philomena that I plan to take over her sister's serial murder case?"
"of course not!"
Hearing Luo An's words, Lacey rolled her eyes immediately.
She is not someone who doesn't know the importance of things. Not to mention that the case has not yet been handed over to Investigation Team No. 5. Even if the case is really handed over to Investigation Team No. 5, Lacey will not say anything as long as it involves the case itself.
Lacey put her hands on her hips and smiled disdainfully:
"I've always been tight-lipped!"
"..."
How tight does it mean?
Luo An raised his eyebrows, then quickly shook his head, throwing aside the messy thoughts in his mind.
Picking up the silver watch and looking at it carefully, Luo An pondered for a moment, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
After being a model for so many years and walking around the old guys on Wall Street so many times, Philomena is still a little cautious.
On the surface, this watch is a thank-you gift from Philomena.
But in fact, this watch is probably Philomena's request for Luo An to take over the serial murder case in the seaside pit.
Shaking his head, he put the watch back into the box. Luo An was just about to stretch his unfinished waist when August, who was pregnant with his belly, suddenly pushed open the door of Investigation Team No. 5 and walked in:
"Luo An, come to my office!"
Luo An: "..."
