"What? A dozen?"
After hearing what Trick Kennedy said, Augustus was very shocked by the amount held by the seller, while Luo An frowned and immediately asked:
"What is the material of the bomb? Have you detected it?"
Luan wasn't sure whether the seller was bragging, but the high-rise rooms at the Hilton were completely in ruins at this point.
The specific number of casualties has not yet been announced, but Luo An has already learned from Lacey that dozens of high-end rooms in the high-end New York hospital where a female friend of hers works are already full.
"The material of the bomb is C4 explosive."
As soon as Luo An finished asking the question, the door to the monitoring room was pushed open, and two middle-aged white men, a man and a woman, walked in to answer the question.
The two were FBI agents from the Washington headquarters responsible for interrogating Hurrell.
A man and a woman smiled and stretched out their hands:
"Hello, my name is Levi."
"Hello, Volita."
August stretched out his hand and shook the two of them. When it was Roan's turn, Volita smiled slightly, and Levi also raised his eyebrows:
"Deputy leader Roan Greenwood, right? I've long admired his name."
Just as Luo An was about to ask, Levis smiled and explained:
"When we were young, we studied at Quantico School with Verenice, and we were guests at Mr. Clement's house many times."
Luo An suddenly raised his eyebrows when he heard this:
"Just call me Luo An, nice to meet you."
A few people smiled and exchanged a few words, and then immediately brought the conversation to the main topic.
"Based on the bomb seller's contact information provided by Hurrell, we have identified a suspect."
Passing the folder to Roan and Augustus, Volita introduced:
"Zachary Moore, 32 years old, is a broker who has been traveling in four states: New York, California, Florida, and Texas in the past two years."
Seeing the middle-aged white man with a fashionable hairstyle in the folder photo, Augustus continued to ask:
"So, our next goal is to find and capture him?"
"Zachary is just one side."
Volita said that Zachary did not know how to make bombs and that all the bombs he sold were made by his partners.
So catching Zachary's partner is also one of the goals.
"Coincidentally, one of our agents had been chatting with Zachary online for a few weeks, and they had gotten to the point where they could meet in person.
We can definitely take advantage of this opportunity to meet each other and catch each other. "
Having said this, Levi took out another folder and handed it to Luo An and said:
“If possible, take this opportunity to directly seize the partners behind Zachary.
But there is one very unfortunate thing. The agent under me passed away a few days ago because of a certain mission, so..."
"Um?"
After reading the information in his hand and hearing the words of the two people in front of him, Luo An's eyelids moved slightly, he raised his head and said seriously:
“So, when are your other agents going to meet with Zachary, what kind of help do they need?
Just mention it, our No. 5 Investigation Team will fully cooperate! "
"..."
Seeing Luo An, who was pretending to be confused, Levi's and Volita twitched their mouths and looked at each other, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.
A few seconds later, Levi's explained:
"I hope this task can be carried out by you, deputy leader Luo An."
The reasons given by Levis were very good. Not only did Luo An look very similar to the agent who died under him, and they were the same age, but Luo An was also very skilled and intelligent, and could fully cope with emergencies and support the arrival of reinforcements.
Moreover, Luo An is also from the FBI. Levis does not want people from other law enforcement agencies to come here to interfere.
Several people from the Secret Service nearby said it didn't matter. Their duty was to protect the president and his family, and solving crimes had nothing to do with them.
"No."
Before Luo An could answer, August next to him shook his head in rejection:
"Luo An's experience in performing disguise tasks is not very sufficient, and his face has also appeared on TV and newspapers in the New York area. This task is not suitable for him!"
"I've seen Agent Luo An's grades in school, and his score in the disguise project was not low.
Moreover, we can set the location to meet each other in California, and with our makeup expert helping Luan with makeup, the chance of Zachary discovering Luan’s true identity is very, very low. "
After Levis said these words, seeing Augustus still shaking his head and saying something, he immediately turned his eyes to Luo An:
"Luo An, what do you think?"
August's words were stagnant. If Luo An agreed, he would really have no choice.
Seeing August's eyes filled with rejection and worry, Luo An chuckled and asked:
"Before I answer this question, can I make a call?"
"sure!"
Seeing the other party nodding with a smile, Luo An immediately walked out of the room, took out his mobile phone, and gave...
Mona sent the message.
The message contained the name of the dead agent Levi mentioned. Luo An hoped that Mona would find out the specific situation of the other party as quickly as possible.
Immediately afterwards, Luo An called Veranith again and briefly described the situation here. Veranith asked Luo An to wait for a while and immediately hung up the phone.
Deep in the corridor, Luo An was alone with his hands folded and his head bowed in thought.
To be honest, Luo An was not particularly repelled by this task. After all, it was not the most difficult task. To go undercover in a gang with a narrow escape was just a matter of pretending to be a criminal to meet the other party.
Coupled with his own skills and the medicine prescribed by the system in his mind, even if his true identity is discovered by the enemy, Luo An is sure to escape smoothly.
However, Luo An could never agree so directly. After all, before he came here, Veranith said that they were "assisting" the other party's investigation.
If Luo An obeys the arrangement and carries out this task without saying anything, how will the credit be calculated afterwards?
On the other hand, Luo An didn't really believe in Levi's and Volita. He didn't know whether the agents they talked about were dead or not.
Luo An is always 100% vigilant about people coming out of that place in Washington.
Not long after, Mona's message was sent, which stated that the agent had indeed died a few days ago, and that his work records did include contact and fishing with Zachary.
After reading Mona's message, Luo An nodded, and then Veranith also called.
"I suggest you go on this mission, Roan."
Veranith didn't waste any time and directly told Luo An the situation she had investigated. Among them, the information about the dead agent was true, and there was also the issue of the distribution of credit afterwards. Veranith promised that she would never Let Luo Anbai contribute.
Not only that, Veranith also found out another piece of news:
“I just learned from Mr. Clement in Washington that just now, a foundation owned by the First Lady spent US$6 million to establish a new small foundation.
Among them, $4 million was used to help passers-by who were victims of the bombing, and the remaining $2 million belonged to law enforcement officers investigating the case. "
Hearing the amount of the money, and thinking of Veranith's promise that she would never let her credit go to waste, Luo An's eyes suddenly lit up like flashlights.
Two hours later, Luo An, as the deputy team leader, led the three agents of Investigation Team 5, and together with Levis and Volita, boarded a plane bound for California.
