The next day, the Monday of the new week.

Tired as she yawned and pushed the door open into the Special Investigations team's office.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

Winslow threw Lacey a pack of breakfast and asked with a smile:

"And in which bar did you spend your Saturday weekend?"

There are four women in the special investigation team, and Michelle is quite quiet, taking care of her work and showing her role in front of Roan.

Except for missions, Chenelle doesn't talk much most of the time, and when Mona is busy with things on the computer, she doesn't talk much, only Lacey is big every day, like a chatter, so not long after Winslow came to the special investigation team, he and Lacey became good brothers.

The two also occasionally go out to have fun together, Lacey likes young girls under the age of 25, and Winslow likes mature women in their 30s and above.

The two have different goals in different directions, there is no contradiction, and sometimes they will cover for each other.

When Luo An and the others knew about this, they were all very speechless.

"Don't mention it, I accidentally looked away last night."

Taking the breakfast that Winslow threw to herself, Lacey opened it and ate it, saying as she ate:

"Remember the Black Jasmine bar we went to together?

I was at that bar yesterday and met two young girls who looked like college students. ”

Winslow's face was full of curiosity:

"And then?"

"Those two girls are actually actors who went to Hollywood to chase their dreams, and they didn't finish middle school."

After eating breakfast in two bites, Lacey complained:

"If I hadn't reacted fast enough, I would have been deceived by them last night."

Chenelle's ears were silent, and Winslow was a little puzzled and asked:

"What can they lie to you?"

"Of course it's money, and even getting sick."

Lacey shook her head and explained:

"Every year, more than 60 percent of the young girls who come to Hollywood and dream of becoming famous overnight go to the San Fernando Valley, not far away.

The San Fernando Valley is a mixed bag, and it's a blessing that these girls have come across a reliable company.

I'm afraid that they will encounter that kind of unreliable company, and finally sign their own "deed of sale" without understanding anything."

The San Fernando Valley, located 30 kilometers northwest of the city of Los Angeles, covers an area of 895 square kilometers and is known as the "Hollywood of pornography", with more than 300 production companies located here.

Once those girls signed into the San Fernando Valley's company, they lost the chance to make a name for themselves in Hollywood for the rest of their lives.

Winslow frowned slightly when he heard this, and before he could speak, Lacey raised her head and drank a large cup of coffee, then let out a long breath and asked:

"Mona and Michelle, haven't they come to work yet?"

Currently, the Special Investigations Unit's office is occupied only by Lacey, Winslow, and Chenelle, and the rest of the seats are empty.

"They came, but they were called away by Luo An just now."

Just as Chenille was about to continue explaining, Luo An suddenly appeared at the gate of the office area of the special investigation team, patted the door hard, and said in a loud voice:

"Everyone, stop chatting, hurry downstairs, our special investigation team has a new case!"

"Understood!"

Hearing this, the three of them quickly got up and walked out, and Lacey stopped halfway through, turned around and quickly ran back to the office area, taking the other packets of breakfast that Winslow hadn't eaten yet.

Winslow: "......"

————

Two pitch-black SUVs are on the streets of Los Angeles, moving forward quickly.

Opening the contact, on the co-pilot of the first SUV, Luo An fiddled with the folder in his hand and introduced:

"Guys, today is a bank robbery."

Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, the world-famous movie center, is the second largest city in the United States and is known as the "City of Angels".

At the same time, the city is also known for its high crime rate.

Not to mention ordinary cases such as knife robbery, armed robbery, forcible room, and homicide, there are an average of 6-8 cases per day in Los Angeles for this type of bank robbery alone.

A bank on a street corner in the southern city of Los Angeles was robbed 11 times in 24 hours, and it sat on the top of the robbery record in one fell swoop.

However, the bank's losses were not much, because except for the first 4 robbers, the next 7 robbers almost ran in vain and did not make much money.

In such cases, ordinary bank robberies do not require the dispatch of a special investigation team.

The LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) and some of the FBI's regular agents would come forward to document the case and try to catch the bank robbers.

"So, this bank robbery is not ordinary, so you came to us to do it?"

In the back seat of the second SUV, Lacey asked while eating while pressing the contact:

"What really happened at the time of the crime? Did a lot of people die? ”

There was no answer to Lacey, as Roan didn't know the specifics either.

In less than ten minutes, the SUV of the special investigation team arrived at the bank where it had been robbed.

The bank's building is tall and large, not far from Hollywood, and is called "First Republic Bank of California".

Founded in 1985 and headquartered in San Francisco, First Republic Bank of California focuses on "high-net-worth individuals" wealth management services, providing low-interest loans to the wealthy, and ranks 14th among federal commercial banks in terms of assets.

At this time, the periphery of the bank has been cordoned off by the LAPD, and many curious people have gathered to discuss, or look up at the inside of the bank, and many news reporters have filmed the scene or conducted live news broadcasts.

Showing the FBI's gold badge to the LAPD, who is in charge of vigilance, Luo An quickly walked inside the bank with five agents from the Special Investigation Team.

The scene inside the bank is very chaotic, there are hostages who have been temporarily held at the scene by the LAPD, and there is a lot of white sewage on the ground.

Roan waved his hand, Winslow, Chenelle, and Lacey immediately went to reassure the hostages for clues, Michelle and Mona went to check the surveillance, and Roan walked up to a LAPD sheriff and asked:

"What's going on?"

"This group of robbers is a group of well-trained guys."

The LPD sergeant stretched out his hand and shook hands with Luo An, and carefully explained the case:

"The robbery happened 15 minutes ago, and the robbers were six people, all armed with weapons.

They robbed a maintenance car that had not had time to report its loss, parked it in front of the bank, and hung it on the gate with a sign that read "Temporarily closed". ”

Luo An picked up the sign and looked at it, raising his eyebrows:

"It doesn't seem to be the bank's brand."

"Not really."

The sheriff spread his hands and said:

"It looks like a movie prop, but the people outside don't know what's going on, and when they see this sign, no one knocks on the door and comes in."

“OK。”

Luo An nodded, put the sign aside, and the sheriff saw this and continued:

After this group of people broke into the bank, the division of labor was clear, and the three of them were responsible for controlling the scene, quickly rushing all the employees in the bank hall together, and ordering them to lie on the ground.

Then they took away their phones, put them all in a large box, and filled the box with water. ”

Bringing the box over, the mobile phone that was blistered to the end of the scrap showed Luo An, and the sheriff pointed to the white sewage everywhere on the ground, and said:

"After the hostages were secured, the three robbers began to sprinkle water in the hall, which according to the test, was all bleach."

Luo An nodded:

"Cover up the traces."

“Yeah。”

The sheriff then led Roan to the door of the bank vault and said:

"Three other robbers, got the keys from the bank manager.

When the time lock on the bank's vault was lifted, they threatened the bank manager with a gun and opened the vault door with a password. ”

A time lock is an anti-theft device that appears in the heart of the bank vault, that is, even if you have a password, you cannot open the door of the bank vault before the pre-set time is reached.

Luo An rubbed his temples, this group of bank robbers knew about the time lock, indicating that either the robbers had conducted a detailed investigation, or there were ghosts in this bank.

Pressing the two speculations to the bottom of his heart and leaving them for post-mortem investigation, Luo An asked:

"What's next?"

"Then the three robbers broke into the vault......"

The sheriff continued to introduce himself, and at the same time, a white mist suddenly appeared inside the vault.

Seeing this, Luo An's face changed drastically, and he pulled the sheriff back quickly, because the danger perception in his mind was like installing an electric motor for the first time!
