Chapter 195: Sudden fire
Hearing August's shout, Roan, whose butt was still hot, slowly left the chair and straightened up.
Because Augustus didn't shout in front of the office area with the folder this time, Luo An didn't panic at all, indicating that this was not a new case.
Sure enough, entering the team leader's office, Augustus handed him several thick folders.
Not a notice or order, just a completed file and report of the previous cases.
Augustus felt that Luo An was idle, so it was better to let him look at the report and check if there were any errors in it.
If it is pointed out, someone will rectify it afterwards.
ββ
The time to go to work and fish is happy, but it is always too little and it goes by too quickly.
Roan felt like he was just spinning around his chair a few times, and the date on the calendar next to him went from Wednesday to the last working day of the week.
Friday, afternoon.
Seeing that the sun was running from east to west again, and it was time to get off work today, Luo An sat on the chair and silently checked the system page in front of him.
In the light blue system warehouse bar, there are [Stamina Elixir Γ2], [Strength Elixir Γ2], [Antidote Elixir Γ2], [Hemostatic Elixir Γ4], [Feather Flask Γ1], [Weakness Elixir Γ1], [Water Scuba Elixir Γ1], [Anti-Gunnery Elixir Γ1], [Analgesic Elixir Γ1]
Not only that, but on Thursday night, because Luo Ann didn't do anything during the day, the system gave him a rating of [Pass], and then the chest opened a $50 and a $100 one.
Looking at Franklin in his hand, a smile appeared on Luo An's face.
It seems that his previous guess was right, and the system treasure chest will open a few dollars every half a month.
Just as Roan was sitting on the chair immersed in his own world, Lacey, who was busy with the work at hand, suddenly came over.
Taking the coffee handed over by Lacey, Luo An's face was full of doubts:
"What's wrong?"
"There's something I'd like you to help with."
Holding the coffee cup and touching it with Luo An, Lacey's eyes glowed golden, and she whispered:
"How about coming with me to a bar in Manhattan after work?"
Lacey recently met two pretty girls in college in New York at that bar, but she hasn't won it yet.
Luo An suddenly became interested:
"So, you want me to be your wingman?"
βNoγβ
Lacey shook her head, she had figured out the interests of the two girls, one of them didn't mind playing games with the same sex, and the other was very resistant to that.
"I'll give you that girl named Vivien, who only likes handsome guys, and I'm sure your face will definitely conquer her."
Lacey leaned over to Roan, rubbing her hands together as she whispered:
"I'll give the other one, one for each of us, OK?"
"Forehead ......"
Luo An raised her eyebrows, Lacey is a veteran of flowers, and there are not many girls who can make her so thoughtful.
So is the other party's body too attractive, or is the face too beautiful?
"Okay, you talk!"
Roan never answered, and Lacey sat in her chair scratching her ears and cheeks, but she was in a hurry.
I want to see the photos first.
Thinking of the deeds of Lacey who didn't talk about martial arts that time, Luo An was going to let her take out the other party's photo first and see for herself whether she agreed or not.
Before he could say anything, Augustus suddenly pushed open the door to the office area.
Seeing the folder in Augustus's hand and the gloomy look on the big black face, Roan and Lacey's hearts chuckled in unison.
"Everyone! A new case! β
Hearing Augustus's words, and then looking at the clock at the front of the office area, there were only ten minutes left before getting off work, Luo An suddenly raised his hand and covered his head speechlessly.
The eager expression on Lacey's face also collapsed instantly.
"Just twenty minutes ago, there was a sudden fire in the Brooklyn District Government Building!"
Without a chance for the various expressions on everyone's faces, Augustus said loudly with a solemn face:
"Although the fire was urgently extinguished by FDNY (New York Fire Department), it still burned a congressman and several students at Alfred University in New York!"
Knowing that so many people had died in the fire, the detectives of Investigation Team No. 5 suddenly had serious faces.
Handing the folder to William, Augustus continued:
"Because the deceased had a congressman, the NYPD gave us an emergency call and they needed help from the FBI."
Luo An got up and stood up:
"Lacey and I are going to check on the situation right now."
βGoodγβ
Augustus nodded:
"Stay safe and don't cut off contact...... Oh yes, this is temporary overtime today. β
Hearing Augustus's words, Luo An smiled slightly, which means that there is overtime pay to be taken afterwards.
Pulling Lacey, who hadn't reacted yet, into the equipment warehouse, the two of them immediately left Investigation Team 5 a moment later.
The SUV that was damaged in front of the car has not been repaired, and Luo An is driving another SUV from Investigation Team 5 this time.
On the co-pilot, Racy saw the SUV under her speeding through the traffic on the road, silently fastened her seat belt while swallowing saliva, and said:
"Ann, is it okay to slow down a little? That's all we have left for Investigation Team 5! β
If the car is damaged again, they will probably have to borrow it from other investigation teams to investigate the case.
"Trust my skills, Lacey."
Luo An smiled slightly and silently stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
Lacey snorted, then suddenly thought of something, pulled her phone out of her pocket and began to tap.
Twisting the steering wheel to overtake a car, Luo An turned his head and glanced at it, and said with a light smile:
"Messaging those two girls? Meet again at another time? β
βNoγβ
Lacey's eyes flashed with worry, and she shook her head and said:
"Remember when I said those two girls were college students?
The university they went to was Alfred University. β
βWhatοΌβ
Luo An was a little surprised, and then hurriedly asked:
"Are they in the government building?"
"Nope."
Seeing the newly received text message on her phone, Lacey let out a long breath, turned her head and smiled:
"The two of them were busy working part-time at the bar to earn money, so they were lucky not to be caught in this fire."
"God always favors the diligent."
Luo An casually said something about chicken soup that he heard from nowhere, and then stepped on the accelerator again to overtake a sedan.
Soon, the two arrived at the government building in Brooklyn.
At this time, the square in front of the government building was crowded with people, not only the families of the victims, passers-by who joined in the fun, a large number of reporters who reported the news live, and the NYPD, which maintained order at the scene.
Stepping out of the SUV and glancing at the charred government building not far away, Roan and Lacey walked briskly into the blockade:
"Hello, Mr. Detective, I'm Agent Roan from the FBI."
"Just call me Bailey."
Seeing the gold badge in Luo An's hand, an NYPD detective immediately walked up, and after shaking hands, Detective Bailey directly introduced:
"A parliamentarian and four university students died at the scene, and more than 40 people were injured because of smoke inhalation, and the injured have been taken to the hospital for treatment."
Following Detective Bailey into the government building quickly, Luo An looked around and asked:
"Were there any eyewitnesses at the time of the fire?"
"I don't know, we're still looking."
The three of them walked quickly into the building, and Bailey led Roan and Lacey to the door of a charred room, stretched out his finger and pointed inside, the expression on his face was extremely ugly.
