Hearing Lacey's words, Mona got up from Luo An's arms, Luo An didn't panic, straightened up and asked calmly:

"Which call did you call Michelle?"

Since Tuesday when the Special Investigation Team was declared off, Michelle has lived the life of an otaku.

Michelle has a total of three calls, one to deal with the insurance company, landlord and other situations that are not in a hurry, one to contact relatives, friends and former colleagues on weekdays, and the last one to answer the task call of the Roan special investigation team.

Most of the time, Lacey calls Michelle for the second time, but except for the third call, the first two types of Michelle are easy to refuse because of reading, so Luo Ann will ask Lacey this question.

"I've fought both the second and third."

Lacey on the other end of the line explained:

"Michelle has run out of food these days, and she asked me for help and asked me to bring her something to eat.

But when I got to her door, I found that there was no one at home, and I couldn't get in touch with her phone. ”

In order to read more books these days, Michelle eats fast food that she has bought before.

“OK。”

Luo An frowned slightly when he heard this, although Michelle is obsessed with reading, he can distinguish the importance on weekdays, and rarely can't be contacted.

After a few seconds of silence, Luo An said into the phone:

"Lacey, you double-check Michelle's room and the surveillance in that building, I'll ......"

Before Luo An's words were finished, Mona's mobile phone on the side suddenly rang.

Mona picked it up and saw that it was Michelle's phone.

Seeing this, Luo An immediately stopped talking, Mona pressed the answer button with a solemn face, and after a few seconds, her face became strange.

Hanging up the phone, Mona looked at Luo An, who was full of doubts in front of her, and said with a smile and crying:

"Michelle is at the LAPD now, the Los Angeles library collection is missing, and the LAPD suspects that Michelle is a thief."

“……”

————

Half an hour later, inside the LAPD police station.

After Roan shows Mona and Lacey who he identries, he quickly figures out the whole incident from a sheriff.

At around 11 p.m. last night, the LAPD received a report from the Los Angeles Central Library that they had found that the library's security system had been compromised, and then that some of the library's treasured books had been stolen.

The original value of the rare books was very high, and the LAPD immediately called the police when they learned of this, and soon called for surveillance inside and outside the library.

Then the LAPDs found in the library's monitoring and the library's borrowing records:

Two weeks ago, Michelle had come to the library several times to borrow copies of those books, had not come to the library a week earlier, and then came to the library three days earlier to borrow copies of those books.

The timing was really a coincidence, and the LAPD regarded Michelle as one of the suspects and asked her to go to the LAPD police station to cooperate with the investigation.

After figuring out what happened, coupled with the guarantee made by Lacey and others, Michelle quickly walked out of the LAPD police station.

"Michelle, you've really scared us!"

Mona's car slowly moved forward, and Lacey slapped Michelle on the arm and smiled:

"I thought you were snatched away!"

Michelle looked apologetic:

"I'm so sorry."

"It's good that people are okay."

Luo An sat in the co-pilot, glanced at the rearview mirror, and asked casually:

"By the way, what exactly are the books that were stolen from the Los Angeles Central Library?"

"Mainly, some original collections and documents on European and American subjects from 1000 to 1500 AD."

Speaking of these, Michelle's eyes lit up:

"They are all very valuable books, and when I came to Los Angeles, I submitted an application to the library to see the original manuscripts, but it never went through, so I was ready to use the FBI to solve the case."

“……”x3

When the three of Luo Ann heard this, they all cast a strange look at Michelle.

If it weren't for the fact that the three of them knew that Michelle had been squatting at home for the past few days, and that Michelle was in average physical condition, had simple interpersonal relationships in Los Angeles, and was not very good at computer things, they would have all begun to suspect that Michelle was the thief who stole these books.

Seeing the eyes of the three of them, Michelle was slightly stunned, and then a little embarrassed:

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine."

Luo An replied casually, and Mona, who was driving, thought about it and asked:

"Michelle, did you just say that those books are very valuable, do you mean the intellectual aspect, or the monetary aspect?"

This case belongs to the LAPD, and the library does not ask the FBI for help, and the FBI will not take the initiative to intervene, and even if the FBI intervenes, they don't need their special investigation team to dispatch, so Mona is just a little curious about it.

"It's on both levels."

Hearing Mona's question, Michelle thought for a moment and explained:

"Needless to say, many experts and professors in the federation have completed their own research by relying on the original books and materials in those collections.

Money ......"

Michelle scratched her head and paused for a few seconds before saying:

"If you like these kinds of books very much, they will most likely offer a very high price."

Hearing this, Lacey was also curious, and came up to ask:

"How tall is very high?"

"$200,000 to $800,000."

Michelle says:

"It could also be more than $800,000."

"Wow."

Lacey opened her mouth and sighed, and Luo An smiled:

"That's the value of knowledge."

The four of them talked and laughed all the way back to Michelle's house, Mona and Lacey had been here before, only Roan was here for the first time.

Entering the room and glancing around, and then hearing Michelle's own introduction, Luo An raised his eyebrows, and found that Michelle in life and Michelle at work were completely two people.

Michelle at work is conscientious, never drags mud and water, and completes every task conscientiously.

There was no jewelry on his body to dress up, he was well dressed and in a very good state of mind.

Michelle in life, she said that her schedule these days is very chaotic, she sleeps when she reads a book, wakes up and continues to read, as soon as the curtains are pulled and the lights are opened, she doesn't know whether it is day or night outside.

The food is fast food, but the scene in the room is not chaotic as imagined, but orderly:

To the left of the living room are stacks of tall books and desks, where Michelle reads and takes notes.

To the right of the living room is the bedroom, which has only a fold-out bed and a long hanger.

Michelle sleeps and changes clothes here on weekdays, and most of the clothes on the hangers are the clothes that Michelle wears when she goes to work, and there are only a few clothes in her life, less than one-tenth of Mona's.

In addition, the whole room was also very clean, the garbage was sorted out and put outside the door, the food was kept within reach, and Michelle himself was very clean except for his clothes and hair were a little messy.

Seeing Michelle, who almost suppressed her desire to eat, drink and have fun to the minimum, Luo An had nothing to say except admiration, and helped her repair the broken lamp, and then prepared to leave with Mona and Lacey.

Lacey shook her head when she heard this, saying that she would wait before leaving, and that she had something she wanted to ask Michelle about.

The mysterious appearance aroused the curiosity of Luo An and Mona, but Lacey didn't say whether she was alive or dead, and Luo An and Mona didn't ask questions, and the two turned around and left here.
