"Hello, sir."
Luo An smiled and said hello to Veranith.
Veranith nodded, raising the corners of her mouth slightly. She felt that Luo An, with three medals hanging on his chest, seemed much more handsome.
The two briefly chatted for a few words, and only then did Luo An learn from Veranith that in addition to representing glory, the medal on the chest also had bonuses!
The No. 5 Investigation Team received the collective medal and each person received a bonus of US$10,000.
The FBI Medal of Valor and the FBI Medal of Merit each have a bonus of $40,000.
In other words, Luo An not only won three medals this time, but also received a bonus of 90,000 US dollars.
Veranith and Luo An chatted for a while and then turned and left. Agent Norton, Agent Nell and others quickly approached after seeing this.
After some banter, a few people agreed on a time and place to have dinner together on Tuesday night.
Not tonight, because tonight is the dinner time for Investigation Team No. 5.
————
Investigation Team No. 5, office area.
Just as the agents were sitting in the office area noisily discussing the place and food for tonight's dinner, Augustus suddenly opened the door of the team leader's office with a solemn expression.
Seeing the expression on August's face, the noise in the No. 5 Investigation Team office area quickly quieted down.
Without any nonsense, August distributed the document in his hand to everyone:
"Everyone, there's a new case."
Lacey, William and others wailed, and it seemed that there was no need to think about tonight's dinner party.
After the documents were distributed to every agent, August introduced loudly with a solemn face:
“Attention, everyone, this case is not an easy one.
Last night, NBC News host Paul Blake died in his home.
The death was very miserable. The murderer stabbed him more than a dozen times in the chest, and his lower body was cut in half by the murderer. "
"hiss--"
Hearing this, male agents such as Luo An, Ryder and William subconsciously took a breath.
Augustus also changed his standing posture with his mouth trembling slightly, and continued:
“Not only that, Paul Blake’s cousin Kelton Blake stayed at his home that night, so Kelton Blake was also attacked by the murderer.
Unfortunately, his private parts were also cut off by the murderer.
Fortunately, when the police arrived at the scene, Kelton Blake had not completely died and is currently receiving resuscitation in the hospital. "
When Augustus said this, Lacey raised her right hand and asked:
"Who called the police? The community security guard?"
"No."
Augustus shook his head and closed the folder in his hand:
"The caller was Paul Blake's nine-year-old daughter.
She was hidden under the bed by Kelton Blake when the crime occurred. "
Hearing this, all the agents of Investigation Team No. 5 had ugly expressions.
Her father was killed in front of her eyes, and the bloody shadow will probably hang over this little girl for the rest of her life.
"This case was brought to us because there were two other victims who died in the same manner as Paul Blake.
This is a serial murder case. "
Augustus took out two other folders from behind and handed them to everyone, saying:
"The first deceased was a real estate agent, Orson Chet, who died half a month ago at his home.
The second deceased was the owner of a certain hotel, Hogan Jamie. He died 10 days ago at his home.
The two of them died in the same way as Paul Blake. They were stabbed multiple times in the chest and their lower bodies were cut off. "
"The three deceased were all wealthy people."
After reading the information in her hand, Mona said thoughtfully:
"And all three lived in townhouses in upscale neighborhoods."
"That's right, three rich men were killed with knives in their own homes."
August nodded, then turned to look at Luo An:
"Luo An, what happens next is up to you."
"OK."
Throwing the folder aside, Luo An picked up the coffee on the table and drank it in one gulp, saying:
"Ryder, go to the Trace Inspection Department and let them carefully examine the wounds on the three corpses to determine the murderer's habits and whether the murderer is the same person.
Mona, you and William carefully researched the personal information of these four victims, focusing on their relationship status and whether they had any experience of paying for fun.
If so, who is the person who serves them and whether there is any conflict between that person and them. "
The lower bodies of the four victims were all cut off. The murderer's reason for killing was definitely related to bed or sex.
"no problem."
William nodded and agreed, while Mona asked while typing on the keyboard:
"Does Kelton Blake also want to investigate? I feel like he was just implicated by his cousin."
Luo An shook his head:
"Let's investigate. No one can say for sure about this kind of thing."
"OK, it's up to you."
Mona didn't say anything more, and just typed on the keyboard faster.
Augustus nodded when he saw everyone starting to get busy, then took out a car key from his pocket and threw it to Luo An:
"This is a new car I just bought for our No. 5 Investigation Team a few days ago. Please drive carefully."
Snapped!
Hearing this, Luo An's eyes lit up after receiving the key:
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely drive carefully!"
Ten minutes later, Luo An drove a brand-new SUV, roaring out of the parking lot like lightning, and began to overtake in various thrilling corners on the roads of New York.
"..."
Seeing Luo An's face full of joy, Lacey, who was sitting in the passenger seat, didn't say anything. She just closed her eyes and fastened her seat belt tightly.
She planned to go back and form a bet with the agents of the No. 5 Investigation Team. The content of the bet was how long the car could last in Luo An's hands.
August: "..."
————
Not long after, Roan and Lacey arrived at the home of the victim, Paul Blake.
After opening the door and getting out of the car, Luo An patted the front hood of the SUV with a smile on his face:
“This car is really nice!”
"Yes, it should be enough to cause trouble for you for a while."
Lacey, who got off the passenger seat, rolled her eyes and stretched out her hand to shake the oncoming NYPD:
"Hello, Agent Lacey from FBI Investigation Team 5."
"Hello, Agent Lacey, my name is Chuck."
The NYPD's eyes lit up when he heard this and turned to look at Luo An:
"Then you must be Deputy Chief Roan Greenwood of Investigation Team 5. I heard about you from Detective Walton."
Because of his performance during this period, Luo An was already considered a celebrity among various law enforcement agencies in New York.
"Hello, Officer Chuck."
Luo An smiled and chatted briefly with the other party, and then changed the topic to this case:
“Does this house have a security system?”
“The house has it, but it hasn’t been installed yet.”
Chuck took the two people into the villa and explained:
"The victim just moved here not long ago, and it is still being renovated. There are many workers coming in and out during the day."
Luo An walked to the back door of the villa, lowered his head and looked carefully for a few seconds, frowning slightly:
"There are signs of being lifted around the keyhole. It seems that the murderer entered the room by picking the lock."
Lacey glanced down and nodded.
Luo An continued to ask:
"What's going on with Paul Blake's daughter now?"
"Paul Blake's ex-wife has arrived and is staying with her daughter in the upstairs bedroom."
"OK"
Looking at Lacey, Luo An immediately got up and went to the bedroom upstairs.
As the victim's ex-wife, she should have some knowledge of Paul Blake's love life.
