Seeing Vivian's action, Lacey's mouth twitched, and then she retracted her hand as if nothing happened.
Taking the paper handed over by the other party, Luo An raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said:
"Thanks."
Vivian smiled and said nothing. Seeing this, Naomi directly hugged Vivian's shoulders, looked at Luo An and said:
"If you really want to express your gratitude, how about inviting Vivian and me to have a drink after get off work?"
Hearing this, Lacey's eyelids trembled.
She has been chasing Naomi for several days, but Naomi has never been very interested in her, and Vivian doesn't pay much attention to her.
Now when she met Luo An, not only did Vivian express her interest in him, but Naomi even made a possible date invitation.
And there are still two people!
Lacey felt that she had some toothache, then she picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.
Seeing the look on Lacey's face, Luo An's expression remained unchanged, but he was already laughing deep in his heart.
Finally, Lacey felt how she felt when she went out to pick up girls with her before.
Lowering his head and looking at the paper, he found a string of letters written on it: [New York Liberty Outpost]
Luo An looked confused:
"What's the meaning?"
"This is the name of an organization that Emma Tasia mentioned when she was interviewed by several of our classmates after her speech."
Putting Luo An's contact information into Vivian's pocket, Naomi explained:
"At that time, Emma Tasia briefly introduced the organization and called on students studying political science to join there, saying that they could realize their political ambitions and ideals there."
"OK."
After sending the name of the organization to Mona, Luo An continued to ask a few questions. When Naomi could not tell any more information, Luo An and Lacey expressed their gratitude and left the place.
"Remember to call us later!"
At the door of the bar, Naomi pulled Vivian, smiling and waving to the SUV that was slowly leaving.
In the slowly moving SUV, Luo An was responsible for driving. Lacey was sitting in the passenger seat and called Mona, asking:
"How about it? Have you found out the details of the organization [New York Freedom Outpost]?"
"Of course I found it!"
Mona on the other end of the phone smiled and said that this was a trivial matter for her, and then introduced:
“This so-called [New York Freedom Outpost] is a political organization in New York that supports the Republican Party.
Their political slogans are more radical, not only opposing homosexuality, but also abortion, the abolition of the death penalty, and gun bans.
Moreover, this organization also proposed that everyone should be armed with guns, and every federal citizen should be allowed to carry a gun 24 hours a day, which can reduce the crime rate in New York. "
"..."×2
After listening to Mona's introduction, Luo An and Lacey were speechless and both rolled their eyes.
Lacey rolled her eyes because this organization was against homosexuality, which made her feel uncomfortable as a lesbian.
Luo An rolled his eyes because the purpose of this organization's call for all people to own guns was actually to reduce the crime rate.
However, thinking about the dark forest effect caused by the universal gun ownership, which ultimately led to Texas having the lowest crime rate in the federal government...
Luo An scratched his head and could only say that it was indeed the Federation.
After thinking for a while, he continued to ask:
"This political organization is also from the Republican camp. Do they have any grudge against Representative Emmanuel Bain?"
"Indeed."
Mona on the other end of the phone typed on the keyboard for a while and replied:
“According to information, members of this organization include a large number of extremists with criminal records.
When they learned that Congressman Emanuel had won a seat in the New York Assembly, they were initially very supportive of him, but it didn't take long for them to start abusing him in some forums.
Because they feel that the issues raised by Representative Emmanuel are too different from his past performance and are too weak.
Some time ago, the New York Congress passed several bills to suppress guns, which made them feel that Representative Emanuel had failed to live up to their expectations. "
Luo An and Lacey's eyes revealed a hint of understanding. The most hated thing in Federation culture was a traitor.
Slowly parking the car on the side of the road, Luo An continued to ask:
“Who is the head of this political organization?”
"It's a conservative activist named Reuben Paul, Emma Tasia's distant uncle."
Mona on the other end of the phone had a strange tone and then said:
“Three days before Congressman Emanuel was killed, he posted a video that read:
We should fight for the freedom God has given us. Faith and weapons are indispensable to us. This is our right that cannot be exploited.
Those who want to exploit our power are the enemies of the people, and the enemies of the people will definitely be eliminated. "
"Wow, that's really tough."
Lacey clapped her arm and sighed, then turned to look at Luo An.
Luo An didn't talk nonsense, started the SUV again, and asked directly:
"Where is this Reuben Paul now?"
"Uh...he's in the hospital."
"?"
——
In a hospital in Queens, Reuben Paul was lying on the bed with a bandage on his chest and a pale face.
According to information from the NYPD, five days ago, Ruben Paul was shot in front of a supermarket. There was no surveillance there, and the NYPD has not yet found the murderer.
Knowing the purpose of Luo An and Lacey's visit, Ruben nodded while lying on the hospital bed:
"Yes, I heard about the case of Senator Emanuel being burned to death, and it was not surprising at all."
Lacey paused: "What do you mean? Do you know that Senator Emanuel will be attacked?"
"No, I'm just stating a possibility."
Ruben shook his head:
"Congressman Emanuel deceived his constituents, and the patience of those patriots is limited."
Next to him, Luo An threw his notebook aside and asked directly:
"So, it was you who incited supporters in the organization to eliminate Congressman Emanuel, right?"
"No, Mr. Agent."
Ruben shook his head repeatedly, indicating that this kind of thing had nothing to do with him. The words in his words were just rhetoric, and Luo An could not frame him. Then he added:
"Although I tend to be extremist, I am opposed to violence and even more disgusted with killing, because it is counterproductive.
So, no matter what you think, I am not stupid, and I will never do anything like murder. "
Hearing this, Lacey frowned, and Luoan's expression remained unchanged. He took out the information that Mona had found and asked:
"Since last year, people in your organization have been frequently arrested for violating the law, and you have sent people to bail them out every time."
"Sorry, this is..."
After hearing this, Ruben continued to prepare a long speech. Luo An was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him and said directly:
"Under federal law, if one of your supporters did this, you are suspected of inciting the other party.
Believe me, if that were the case, I could definitely send you to jail. "
"...cough cough cough."
Hearing this, Ruben coughed repeatedly. After a few seconds of silence, he said:
"I really didn't do this, but there was a guy named Connor Trenner in the organization, a college student, who had said many times before that he wanted to kill the "traitor" Emanuel.
Of course, I have nothing to do with him. "
After casting a glance at Ruben, Luo An and Lacey immediately turned around and left the ward.
In the corridor, Luo An pressed the contact:
"How about it, Mona, did you hear the name?"
"heard it."
There was a crackling sound on the other end of the phone, and then Mona sounded a little serious:
"This Connor Trenner is very suspicious."
