Chapter 80: New Clues (Subscription Requested!) )
As soon as Ann, Mona, and Lacey stepped out of the elevator, they saw Augustus who had just walked to the door of Investigation Team Five.
Seeing the agents behind him, Augustus immediately stopped where he was and asked:
"What's Ryder's situation now?"
"It's not a big deal."
Luo An briefly described the doctor's diagnosis, and Augustus was immediately relieved when he heard this.
Waving his hand to signal the agents to return to their seats, what should they do, Augustus pulled Luo An to his team leader's office again.
"You've done a great job this time! Roan! ”
As soon as Ann's ass sat on the chair, Augustus grinned and showed his back molars, and he didn't elaborate on the content of the meeting, but the final result Roan heard clearly:
Other agents have tripled their salaries this week! Quadruple your own winnings!
And the Hyena Gang is completely over, and after sending those people to prison, Investigation Team 5 will receive a thank you money, about $500,000, and Luo An can get a part of it.
Not only that, but Augustus also received a guarantee from Verenis:
As long as Luo An can solve two cases in a short period of time again, then Luo An will be immediately promoted to become a senior agent.
Luo An didn't care about the promotion, after all, his salary didn't increase much after the promotion.
But the bonus and the money he could get in the future made his eyes light up instantly:
"Thank you, sir!"
"You deserve it."
Augustus waved his hand and didn't say anything, then suddenly put away the smile on his face, looked at Luo An with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice:
"Ann, according to the message Verenis sent me, recently our FBI New York branch is planning to launch a 'star agent program'."
“?”
Hearing Augustus's words, Luo An was stunned, can the words detective and star still be combined?
Seeing the confusion on Roan's face, Augustus began to explain in detail:
"As you know, the crime rate in New York has always been high, and although we at the FBI solve a lot of cases every year, there are even more cases that are not successfully solved.
As a result, the New York media has always rated us poorly, always saying that we are wasting taxpayers' money. ”
Although the New York Police Department was also scolded, because of the size of the case, most of the people who scolded the New York Police Department were civilians.
Most of the cases handled by the FBI are relatively special, and there are more exchanges with the rich and powerful, so the cases have not been solved, and most of the people who accuse the FBI of being incompetent are these people.
Roan understood the meaning of Augustus's words, but he still didn't understand how the words star and agent were combined.
Could it be that the top management intends to establish an image of a 100% case-solving agent?
"No one dares to say that they can solve the case 100 percent."
Luo An wondered: "I don't believe that the top management of the FBI will not know this truth." ”
"Of course."
Augustus nodded, of course the higher-ups knew this, so they didn't intend to establish an image of solving the case 100%:
"This 'star agent plan' is actually intended to select a few good-looking agents and let them be responsible for telling the outside media about the investigation of the case, and those agents who really solve the case will not appear in front of the media."
“What?”
Hearing this, Luo An's face was full of shock:
"Is the top management crazy? Let these vases take the credit of the agents who have really succeeded in solving crimes? ”
As soon as this kind of thing came out, Luo An didn't dare to pat his chest and promise that he could solve every case, but he could pat his chest and guarantee that those so-called 'star agents' were 100% shot after work.
"You're thinking too much, Roan."
Hearing Roan's words, Augustus's big black face rolled his eyes, of course, it was impossible for the top management of the FBI to do this, so he continued to explain:
"These so-called 'star agents' are just a façade to deal with journalists, you know?
They will not say that they solved the case themselves, but will come forward in place of some agents to answer questions in front of reporters. ”
"What about the credit and rewards after solving the case?"
"Naturally, it's still the detective who really solves the case."
After listening to Augustus's account, Roan rolled his eyes, and the whole plan sounded full of mistakes.
Those detectives who really succeeded in solving the case, although they got their own rewards, were deprived of the right to be interviewed by the media, and when they saw a little white face replacing themselves on TV and talking about the process of solving the case, the ghost knows what he thinks in his heart.
Will you find an opportunity to quietly shoot each other down?
And what's the use of this kind of thing?
Shouldn't the core problem to be solved be to improve the success rate of solving cases?
Augustus also felt that this kind of thing was unreliable, so he mainly reminded Luo An today, and said with a serious expression:
"Because you've been outstanding lately, and you're about the same size as me, you've been targeted by some people.
They may invite you to join the 'Star Agent' program, or they may even want you to shout the slogan '100% Solve the Case' and become a real 'Star Agent,' rather than a façade." ”
It turned out to remind yourself not to be deceived, not to be fooled by those people.
It dawned on Ann that he understood the true purpose of what Augustus had told him.
"Thank you, sir."
Luo An smiled and nodded, got up and poured a cup of coffee for Augustus:
"I just want to solve cases quietly and make money quietly, and I don't want to be famous at all."
“Good。”
Augustus nodded in satisfaction, he could see that Roan was really thinking.
In the vast land of America, there are many crazy people, or people with abnormal brains.
If the FBI really sets up a "100% case-solving" agent, then these people will definitely kill people in a different way, kill many people, do all kinds of bizarre and terrifying cases, and then let this agent go to solve it.
Especially the group of 'uncrowned kings' in the land of America, for the sake of ratings, except for some sensitive topics, they dare not say anything about other topics, and it is not impossible to blow this agent into Sherlock Holmes.
But if this agent doesn't solve any of the cases, or there are some mistakes in the process of handling the case, then .
It's scary to think about.
Luo An just wants to solve the case, earn bonuses and thank you fees, and enjoy the life of this life, without the idea of fighting wits and courage with those crazy people.
Making a fortune in a muffled voice is the king.
Knock Knock Knock –
There was a knock on the door of the team leader's office, and Roan and Augustus turned their heads to see that it was Lacey.
"Suspect Sean has been sent to the interrogation room."
“OK!”
Hearing Lacey's words, Luo An nodded to Augustus, and decisively got up and left the team leader's office.
But before he could reach the door of the interrogation room, a phone call suddenly came in.
When Luo An saw it, it was actually Agent Norton.
"Hello?"
Pressing the answer button, Luo An smiled and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, our Investigation Team 5 has successfully picked up the suspect Sean, who is now in our interrogation room."
Luo An thought that the other party was asking if he had successfully received someone.
"When we were interrogating the prisoner just now, we learned a new piece of information, Roan."
Norton on the other end of the phone grinned, and his voice was a little strange:
"Your investigation team, have you been investigating a serial bank robbery recently?"
