Investigation Team Five, corridor outside the interrogation room.

Hearing August's words, Roan and Mona walked out of the interrogation room to find the Special Agent Superintendent Verenes standing in the hallway.

Walking into the monitoring room next to the monitoring room with Luo An, Verenis sat on a chair and asked in a low voice:

"Luo An, what's going on in this case?"

Just now Augustus sent her a message that Investigation Team 5 had discovered another big incident, but did not elaborate on it.

"Sir, have you heard of the [Federal Junior Hobby Association]?"

Luo Ann first asked Verenith a question, and then began to briefly describe the investigation process of the case.

During the description of the process, Roan had been quietly observing the expression on Vereneth's face, and Vereneth was not surprised when she heard the name of this guild, and her expression did not change much.

Seeing this, Luo An raised his eyebrows, sure enough, how could the FBI not find out about this kind of organization.

I just don't know why I haven't moved.

And after listening to Luo An's narration, Verenis groaned for a while, frowned slightly and said:

"Ann Roan, this organization has actually been under the surveillance of our FBI all along."

Vereneth's side has more information about the [Federal Juvenile Hobby Association].

In her introduction, the main bases of the Federal Juvenile Hobby Association are San Francisco and New York, and she has repeatedly called on Congress to enact legislation or amend the law so that children can "have sexual rights without sexual harassment and exploitation", and "repeal the age of sexual activity law, especially those laws that prohibit adult men from having free sex with teenagers." "We demand the release of men and juveniles detained in connection with these decrees. ”

The slogan is very loud, but in fact it is a crime of assaulting boys under the pretext of "protecting the sexual autonomy of teenagers".

In 1995, the Federal Juvenile Hobby Association collapsed due to strong criticism from federal public opinion and a crackdown by law enforcement, and a large number of the organization's main leaders were thrown into prison, leaving only a few contact mailboxes in San Francisco with very few responses.

Child crime is, after all, one of the felonies in the federal government, so the FBI has not let go of surveillance of the remaining members of the group.

Luo An raised his eyebrows when he heard this:

"But the organization is making a comeback in New York, and it's getting bigger."

"That's right."

Vereneth nodded, and said in a deep voice:

"So, someone gave them shelter."

Luo An's expression remained unchanged, this was already a clear thing.

It's just that the FBI hasn't moved, so he's a little skeptical that some people at the top of the FBI are also involved.

"You must be secretive about the investigation process of this case and don't let too many people know."

Bowing her head and thinking for a while, Verenis stood up, looked at Luo An with a gloomy face and said solemnly:

"The methods, behaviors, and formalities in the process of handling the case must be legal, and try not to leave an excuse for the other party to attack.

I will investigate this case when I go back later, and I must communicate the situation in a timely manner. ”

The meaning of Verenis's words is very obvious, that is, she is going to investigate the situation at a higher level, and the details below are in charge of Investigation Team Five.

"Yes, sir."

Luo An nodded in agreement, and helped Verenis open the door when she left the monitoring room, and said in a low voice:

"Be careful, sir."

"Hmm."

The corners of Vereneth's mouth lifted slightly, and she also whispered a response.

Although she didn't think that she would encounter any danger in investigating this case, Luo An's words of concern still made her very useful.

After brushing a wave of Verenis's favor, Luo An looked at the back of the other party walking into the elevator and smiled, turned around and walked back to the office area of the fifth investigation team.

Mona sat on a desk in the office area and asked:

"Ann, what did Chief Verenes say?"

Augustus also walked out of the team leader's office at this time.

"Keep investigating!"

Luo An waved his hand, saying that there was no reason to let go of this kind of case involving children, and there was no problem in continuing the investigation.

It's just that the case may involve some high-level figures, so the specific investigation process should be more secretive.

“Good！”

"Great!"

The detectives of Investigation Team 5 breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

After all, there are still some high-level cases within the FBI that choose to suppress and not allow the investigation.

This is not uncommon.

August's expression remained unchanged, and Vereneth's choices and orders were not unexpected, after all, there was an uncle at the headquarters in Washington, and it was rare for Verenis to bear to retreat.

Mona glanced at Roan with a smile on her face, and was just about to return to her seat to start work, when Augustus suddenly said:

"Ann, Lacey, Mona, come to my office."

“OK。”

In the office, the four of them sat down, and Augustus handed the three of them several folders.

When I opened the folder, it was not a notice of bonus issuance after the detection of [Dr. Flavia-Fran's AIDS murder], after all, the neat case had just ended today, and the case report had not yet been written.

The folder is actually a notice that Roan, Mona, and Lacey will be transferred to Los Angeles next month.

There are three positions in the notice, Luo An is still a senior special agent, and the deputy team leader is also a senior special agent.

To Mona's surprise, the notice showed that after she was transferred and arrived in Los Angeles this time, her rank was promoted from an ordinary special agent to a senior special agent.

Mona looked up in surprise, and Roan and Lacey applauded her with smiles on their faces:

"Congratulations, Mona!"

"Congratulations! Congratulations! ”

From the perspective of other intern agents who joined the FBI New York branch at the same time, Mona's promotion from an ordinary special agent to a senior special agent was too fast.

A small number of them are still trainee agents, and most of them are promoted to senior special agents after becoming special agents.

But compared to this guy Juan, Mona's promotion speed is really much slower.

And in so many cases, Mona's role in the investigation process is visible to the naked eye.

Because of this, Luo An has always felt that Mona's promotion speed is too slow, so after briefly talking to Verenith about Ryder's situation, he also talked about Mona's level at the same time.

"Thank you, sir."

Mona smiled and thanked her repeatedly, she was actually the same as Luo An, and she didn't care about the level of the detective.

But after being promoted to senior special agent, the salary was much higher, which made her very happy.

As a federal woman with a relatively independent personality and many years of celibate experience, Mona did not rely on others financially, and when financial problems arose, Mona subconsciously habitually chose to shrink her clothes and eat by herself instead of looking for help for help.

Even if that person is Roan, who is already living with Mona.

In the team leader's office, the four of them simply laughed and chatted about Mona's promotion, and then Augustus asked Lacey and Mona to leave early, leaving Roan alone.

As the door to the team leader's office was closed, Augustus didn't talk nonsense and asked directly:

"Ann Roan, do you know who the head of the FBI's Los Angeles Division-Criminal Investigation Section team is?"

"I know, Chief Vereneth gave me the contact information of that person."

Hearing Augustus' question, Luo An smiled and nodded.
