Chapter 224: $2 million!
βWhatοΌ Dozen? β
Hearing Trick Kennedy's words, Augustus was shocked by the amount held by the seller, while Roan frowned and immediately asked:
"What exactly is the bomb made of? Did you detect it? β
Whether the seller has bragged about Roan is not so sure, but the rooms on the upper floors of the Hilton Hotel have been completely reduced to ruins by this time.
The exact number of casualties has not yet been announced, but Roan has already learned from Lacey that dozens of high-end rooms in the high-end New York hospital where one of her female friends works are full.
"The material of the bomb is C4 explosives."
As soon as Luo An's question fell, the door of 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 the same FBI agents from Washington's headquarters who were in charge of interrogating Horrell.
A man and a woman smiled and stretched out their hands:
"Hello, my name is Levi."
"Hello, Volita."
Augustus stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two, and when it was Roan's turn, Volita smiled slightly, and Levi also raised his eyebrows:
"Deputy leader Roan Greenwood, right, long admired the name."
As soon as Luo An was about to ask, Levi explained with a smile:
"When we were younger, we studied with Vereneth at the Quantico School, and we visited Mr. Clement's house many times."
Luo An raised his eyebrows when he heard this:
"Just call me Roan, it's nice to meet you."
Several people smiled and exchanged a few words, and then immediately led the conversation to the main topic.
"According to the contact information of the bomb seller given by Hurrel, we have identified a suspect."
Handing the folder to Roan and Augustus, Volita explains:
"Zachary Moore, 32 years old, is a broker who has traveled around the four states of New York, California, Florida and Texas in the past two years."
Seeing the middle-aged white man with a fashionable haircut in the folder photo, Augustus continued to ask:
"So, our next goal is to find and catch him?"
"Xhachary is only one aspect."
Volita says that Zachary doesn't make bombs, and that all the bombs he sells are made by his partner.
So catching Zachary's partner is also one of the goals.
"Coincidentally, one of our agents has been chatting with Zachary on the Internet for a few weeks, and they've gotten to the point where they can see each other.
We can take this opportunity to meet each other and catch each other. β
Speaking of this, Levi took out another folder and handed it to Luo An, saying:
"If possible, take this opportunity to grab the partner behind Xhachary directly.
But one thing is very unfortunate, this agent of mine died a few days ago because of a mission, so he ......"
"Huh?"
After reading the information in his hand, and hearing the words of the two people in front of him just now, Luo An's eyelids moved slightly, raised his head, and said with a serious face:
"So, when will your other agents go to meet with Zachary, and what help will they need?
Despite mentioning it, our No. 5 investigation team will fully cooperate! β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing the pretending confused Luo An in front of them, the corners of Levi's and Volita's mouths twitched, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
A few seconds later, Levi explained:
"I hope this task can be carried out by you, Deputy Team Leader Luo An."
The reason given by Levi is very good, not only is Roan very similar to the agent who died under him, the same age, but Roan is good and intelligent, and can fully cope with unexpected situations and support the arrival of reinforcements.
And Roan is also from the FBI, and Levi doesn't want other law enforcement people to come here and get involved.
Several members of the Secret Service next to him said that it didn't matter, their duty was to protect the president and his family, and it had nothing to do with them to solve the case or anything.
βNoγβ
Without waiting for Luo An to answer, Augustus next to him shook his head again and again to refuse:
"Roan's experience in disguise missions is not very sufficient, and his face has also been on TV and newspapers in the New York area, this task is not for him!"
"I've looked at Agent Roan's grades in school, and the camouflage project didn't score low.
And we were able to set the place to meet each other in California, and with our makeup experts helping Roan with her makeup, the odds of Zachary discovering Roan's true identity were very, very low. β
After Levi said these words, seeing that Augustus was still about to shake his head and say something, he immediately turned his gaze to Luo An:
"Roan, what do you think?"
Augustus's words were stagnant, if Roan himself agreed, he really couldn't help it.
Seeing Augustus' eyes full of rejection and worry, Luo An smiled and asked:
"Can I make a phone call before answering that question?"
"Absolutely!"
Seeing the other party nodding with a smile, Luo An immediately walked out of the room and took out his mobile phone to ......
Mona sent a message.
The message was the name of the dead agent in Levi's mouth, and Roan hoped that Mona would find out the details of the other party as soon as possible.
Immediately after that, Luo Ann called Verenis again and briefly described the situation here, and Vereneth asked Luo An to wait for a moment after listening, and immediately hung up the phone.
Deep in the corridor, Luo An was alone with his hands folded and his head bowed in contemplation.
To be honest, Luo An is not particularly reluctant to this task, after all, this is not the highest difficulty, going undercover in the gang for a lifetime is just 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 that he will be able to escape smoothly.
It's just that Luo An definitely can't agree so directly, after all, before he came here, Verenis said that they were "assisting" the other party in the investigation.
If Luo An obeyed the arrangement to carry out this task without saying anything, how could the credit be counted afterwards?
On the other hand, Roan doesn't really believe in Levi and Volita, and the devil knows if the agent they call dead or not.
For those who come out of that place in Washington, Roan is always 100% vigilant.
It didn't take long for Mona's message to arrive, saying that the agent had indeed died a few days ago, and that his work records had indeed been in contact with Zachary to chat and fish.
After reading Mona's message, Ann nodded, and then Vereneth also called.
"I suggest you go on this mission, Roan."
Verenis didn't talk nonsense, and directly told Luo An about the situation she investigated, including the truth of the information about the dead agent, and the issue of the distribution of credit afterwards, Verenis promised that she would never let Luo Anbai contribute.
Not only that, but Vereneth also heard another piece of news:
"I just learned from Mr. Clement in Washington that just now, a foundation owned by the First Lady has set up a new small foundation with $6 million.
Of that amount, $4 million was used to help bystanders who were victims of the bombing, and the remaining $2 million went to law enforcement officers investigating the case. β
Hearing the amount of this money, and thinking of the promise that Verenis had just sworn that she would never let her own credit go to waste, Ann's eyes suddenly brightened brighter than a flash.
Two hours later, Luo An, as the deputy team leader, led the three detectives of the No. 5 investigation team, and together with Levi and Volita, they got on a plane to California.
