As it turned out, Roan's guess was correct.

Ten minutes later, staff from the FBI's Weapons of Mass Destruction Bureau, the FBI Hazmat Handling Team, the Los Angeles Branch of the Federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency arrived at the scene, and after conducting some testing, it was determined that the person behind the horrific scene just now was poison gas composed of botulinum toxin.

At this time, the 20-story building of the First Republic Bank of California was empty, and there was no shadow of people around the square outside.

More than a dozen staff members wearing yellow and white, professional anti-infection isolation suits and professional gas masks are carefully handling the corpses in the bank building.

In the bank hall, there were three deceased people who did not have time to run out, namely a male LAPD police officer, a female bank clerk, and a male bank security guard.

In the vault behind the round iron door, where cash was stored, two female staff members lost their lives.

Two LAPD officers, two female bank clerks, and a male bank manager died in a safe vault filled with metal cabinets.

Luckily, because First Republic Bank of California had just opened in the morning and was robbed by robbers, there weren't many clerks above the building.

The poison gas traveled all the way through the central air conditioner, but did not kill the staff on the spot, only some of them fell into a coma and could still be rescued.

Winslow and Chenelle, as well as the mother and daughter, were also resuscitated because they were rushed to the hospital in time and the amount of poison gas inhaled was small, and they are currently sleeping in the intensive care unit.

The team director, Potant Bourne, also arrived at the scene, and the case was so big that the mayor of Los Angeles, the head of the FBI'S L.A. chapter, and even the governor of California, called him to inquire about the situation.

On the corner of the street more than ten meters diagonally opposite the building, there are several square column parasols, forming a temporary command center.

“Fu-k！”

Behind the command center, Portant-Byrne hung up the governor's phone, scolded a few words with an unusually ugly face, and then walked up to Roan and asked in a deep voice:

"How's the scene going?"

"The culprit for this accident has been found."

Roan stretched out his finger and pointed at Portant-Byrne following the direction, and on the table not far away, there was a large transparent glass case.

On the lid of the glass case is a hazard indicator with three yellow semicircles printed in the center.

Inside the glass box, a metal bottle the size of an adult's arm and covered in blue is quietly placed.

"A bottle full of botulinum toxin gas."

Luo An looked away from the distant location of the hospital and replied:

"The guards told me that it was full of botulinum toxin, also known as botulinum toxin.

When diluted, it is an excellent product to help women smooth out wrinkles.

But in high concentrations, it is the deadliest and most terrifying poison in the world.

It only takes a few seconds for a person to be paralyzed and then die of suffocation. ”

"Son of Eat!"

After listening to Ann's explanation, Portant-Byrne cursed in a low voice again, and then went on to ask:

"Have you figured out who sent this bottle of poison gas to the bank?"

"An investigation is underway, but there is a high probability that it will not be found."

Luo An pointed to the bank manager who was put into a professional body bag by the staff wearing protective clothing not far away, and replied with a frown:

"The bottle was found inside the safety vault.

The safe vault is in business to help some people store secret items, and as for who that person's real identity is, and what the items he stores in the metal cabinet, the bank side doesn't ask or know.

When the guards entered the security vault, the vial was sitting on the floor, and no one knew which metal cabinet it had been taken out of.

It is very likely that after the previous gang of bank robbers found it, they felt that it was useless and worthless, so they threw it aside.

Then the bank manager took a few clerks with him to check the lost item and accidentally opened it by mistake. ”

Eighty percent of the world's people are unlikely to recognize poison gas at the first time.

People who are a little more curious will come up and smell it vigorously.

And then......

There is no then.

In a matter of seconds, enough poison gas filled the room, and everyone lost their lives without even reacting.

If it weren't for Luo An's quick enough reaction, it is probably unknown how many people in the bank hall would survive today.

It is possible that the whole army will be wiped out.

Potant-Byrne closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, and after a long silence, he took a deep breath and said:

"So, these are two cases, a bank robbery and a poison gas possession case, right?"

No country in the world, East or West, allows private ownership of poison gas.

Luo An nodded:

"If no department or laboratory comes forward and shows that the bottle is theirs, then there are two most likely cases."

“Fu-k！”

When Portant-Byrne heard this, he cursed again with anger on his face.

Portant-Byrne has spoken the word more often than Roan has said since he met him combined.

After a moment of silence, Portant-Byrne then asked:

"Luo An, do you have any clue about this case?"

"Sir, I have a question."

"Say."

"Investigate the gas case first, or do you investigate the bank robbers first?"

This is a very important question, and the special investigation team plus the team leader Luo An, there are a total of 6 people.

At present, Winslow and Chenelle are lying in the hospital because they accidentally inhaled poison gas to save people, and the special investigation team has lost two pillars and returned to its original state of four.

In this case, the two cases must be investigated in a sequence, and it is simply impossible to deal with them at the same time.

"Investigate the poison gas case first!"

Portant-Byrne pulled Roan aside and said in a condensed voice:

"This gas case is serious, no, very serious."

He briefly stated the situation on the phone just now, and finally said with a serious face:

"Luo An, you must do your best to find out this case as quickly as possible.

If any departments do not cooperate during this period, call me immediately, and I will definitely solve it as soon as possible.

If I can't fix it, I'll go to the director of our FBI Los Angeles section; If the director can't solve it, I'll go to the mayor, or the governor of California! ”

Since 911, public assaults have been a nightmare for the Federation.

The case has made headlines in Los Angeles so much that it is not surprising that the whole federation will know about it in a few hours.

The pressure on Portant-Byrne was high, but he didn't panic because he still had the trump card of Roan, the head of the special investigation team.

Portant-Byrne has confidence in Roan, as long as he resists the pressure from above and doesn't let some messy things disturb Roan, Roan will definitely be able to handle this case!

"Yes, sir."

Getting the answer, Luo An nodded and agreed.

After briefly continuing to discuss with Portant-Byrne for a while, Luo An did not directly start investigating the case, but temporarily handed over the scene to the CDC and other departments to deal with, and then took Mona, Lacey and Michelle to the hospital not far away.

Not long after Roan and the others left, Potante Byrne also left here.

But before that, Potante-Byrne made a phone call to suppress Roan's previous push to a female bank assistant manager, and banned the Los Angeles mainstream media from reporting it, and he didn't want these things to affect Roan.

The mainstream media in Los Angeles were also happy to sell the FBI favor, although some small media still reported on the incident, but it was quickly suppressed by the large media coverage.

Arriving at the hospital, seeing Winslow and Chenelle lying unconscious on the hospital bed in the ward, Lacey scolded in a low voice, Mona and Michelle frowned, Roan was silent for a while, pulled a nurse over, and asked:

"Will they have sequelae in the future?"

"This ......"

The nurse was hesitating how to answer, and Lacey's mobile phone next to her suddenly rang, pressed the answer button, and after a few simple words, she handed the phone to Luo An:

"Looking for you."

Luo An frowned slightly, and took the phone:

"Hello, Roanne Greenwood."

"The car driven by the bank robbers has been found."
