In a fast-moving troop carrier, the four robbers whose hands were tightly cuffed together by silver bracelets were full of anger, staring at Luo An and the three of them and scolding.

"Son of Eat!"

“Fu-k you！”

Among the four robbers, Joseph, Carter, Ferdinand, and Brooke, Joseph was the main planner and leader of the bank robbery, and now he has been arrested, which is the most scolded by him:

"Damn the IRS! They broke the agreement! And you damn FBI ......"

"Hey, stop scolding."

Winslow and Chenelle, who were sitting next to them, didn't bother to talk to them, Ann yawned, thought about it, and said with a smile:

"Honestly, you should thank us."

“What？”

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Winslow and Chenelle subconsciously looked at Luo An in confusion, and the four robbers were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes were full of anger and even more angry:

"......"

"Let me break it down for you."

Without waiting for Joseph, Carter, Ferdinand, and Brooke to speak more intensely, Roan began to explain simply.

First, their FBI Special Investigations team had found the traces of the four robbers before the IRS and was already preparing to arrest them.

It's just that the IRS has a higher status and priority, so the four robbers were arrested by the IRS before the FBI operation.

The IRS's goal is simply to collect taxes, and as long as they get the tax they want, the IRS will let them go, so the four robbers can take the money they looted from the bank and pay the tax.

If the FBI takes the first action to arrest the four people, the money that the four robbers have stolen from the bank will be confiscated by the FBI.

The IRS will not change the tax collection of the four robbers, but by this time the money they have stolen from the bank has been confiscated by the FBI, and the four robbers themselves do not have that much savings, so they can only be saddled with a large tax debt to the IRS.

The money cannot be handed over to the IRS within the specified time, and tax interest will be incurred, and the longer the time, the higher the interest.

"You're just being arrested by our FBI now, not the kind where you still owe the IRS a single unpaid tax when you are arrested by our FBI, and you keep raising interest while squatting in prison."

After explaining, Luo An's face was full of sunny smiles:

"So, shouldn't you thank us?"

“……”xN

The voice fell, and the air inside the troop carrier was extremely quiet for a moment.

Winslow and Chenelle's faces were full of speechlessness, Joseph opened his mouth wide but couldn't speak, not knowing what to say, and several SWAT agents next to him looked at each other and nodded, learning something new.

————

At half past seven in the evening, a large conference room in the FBI Los Angeles branch building.

Lacey is still in the hospital, and the other agents of the Special Investigation Team, such as Mona, Michelle, and others, are upstairs to deal with the follow-up of the [Poison Gas Case] and the [Bank Robbery Case].

As the head of the special investigation team and the main investigator of the [bank robbery], Roan was once again pulled by Director Nassim and team leader Potante Byrne to participate in this press conference.

"It's an exciting time, and under my leadership, we at the FBI Los Angeles have ...... success"

Maybe it's because of the short time interval between the two cases being solved one after another, or maybe it's because Luo An's performance has made him lose face, but in short, Director Nassim is very excited.

He was about to laugh out of his back molars, and he spoke on stage for more than an hour, and the corners of the mouths of the reporters who couldn't speak directly twitched, and the smile on Luo An's face became more and more stiff, and he couldn't sit still.

Tilting his head to look at the team leader beside him, a flash of surprise flashed in Roan's eyes, because the smile on Portant-Byrne's face did not change in the slightest, not even the slightest change in his sitting position.

A flash of admiration flashed in Luo An's heart, and he could only say that he was really worthy of being a man who could become the head of the group.

“…… Thanks, that's all for now. ”

After another ten minutes, Director Nassim finally finished his opening remarks.

Luo An suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to remove his ass to change his position, when Director Nassim suddenly waved his hand, and a female FBI agent who had been waiting outside the door for a long time walked into the conference room with a wooden disk.

Seeing the wooden disc held by the female agent, Luo An was slightly stunned, the corners of Potante-Byrne's mouth raised slightly, gently patted Luo An's shoulder, and said in a low voice:

"The director promised your surprise, quickly stand up."

Luo An quickly stood up, Director Nassim nodded with satisfaction, picked up a red, yellow, and blue medal from the wooden plate, and introduced it loudly:

"On behalf of the State of California, the City of Los Angeles, and the FBI Los Angeles Branch, please allow me to award this "California Medal of Courage" to Roanne Greenwood, the leader of the special investigation team who fought bravely, faithfully and bravely, and solved major crimes for the citizens of Los Angeles! ”

The states of the federation have a great deal of autonomy in economic, political and other aspects, and have the right to set up their own law enforcement departments, so each state also has the right to design and issue various types of medals that belong to their own states, and the California Medal of Courage is one of them.

In the huge state of California, there are not many people who have received this medal so far, and the value of spiritual motivation is very precious.

"Thank you, Director."

Luo An really didn't guess this before, Director Nassim wore a medal for him, patted Luo An on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and then the two of them smiled at the reporter, posing for the flash.

"Team Leader Greenwood, say a few words."

"Of course."

Luo An nodded, and smiled modestly at the reporters.

It's not that Luo An wants to be too modest on purpose, but the flashing lights of this group of reporters are too enthusiastic, and he really can't open his eyes.

The team leader, Potante Byrne, and the director of the bureau, Nassim, kept the news under wraps, and Roan really hadn't thought about the medal before, so he didn't prepare any speeches.

But this kind of thing is not difficult for Luo An, smiled and nodded, pressed his hand to signal him to say a few words first, and then take pictures, think for a few seconds, and wait until the enthusiastic flash stopped, Luo An coughed lightly and said:

"First of all, I feel deserved for this honor, for this medal......"

The content is not complicated, and Luo An directly changed his speech when he won two FBI medals and changed his name here.

After Roan's briefing, the group leader, Portant Byrne, stood up:

"I announce that this is the end of the award ceremony, and then we will enter the Q&A session with reporters."

Bang Bang Bang –

There was a burst of crackling applause, and the press conference continued for more than forty minutes before it ended.

In the corridor, Director Nassim walked up to Luo An, helped Luo An briefly tidy up his clothes and the medal around his neck, nodded with a smile and praised Luo An for a moment, and led people out of here first.

"I didn't expect the Special Investigation Team to find out about the bank robbery so quickly."

Group leader Potante Byrne reached out and touched the medal on Roan's chest, and said with a smile:

"Originally, I wanted to apply for the FBI medal from the headquarters for you, but you have won two medals before, and there is a high probability that your application will not be approved this time, so the director applied for this California Medal of Courage for you."

"Thank you, sir, I love this medal."

Luo An grinned, this was his sincere words.

The previous two FBI medals had a $40,000 bonus each, with Roan receiving a total of $80,000 and the California government's "Medal of Courage" $50,000.

The two walked into the office of the group director, and Portant-Byrne picked up a folder on his desk and handed it to Roan, and said with a smile:

"This is a bounty for wanted criminals and a thank you payment from First Republic Bank of California."

Francisco, one of the wanted criminals, died at the hands of the CIA's Cocorran, who had escaped without permission, so there was no bounty on his hand in the folder.

After opening the folder and taking a few quick glances, Roan found that the Bouryard brothers had a bounty of $340,000 each, adding up to $680,000.

The bank paid the special investigation team $800,000 as part of the money that the bank robbers had stolen but were recovered by the FBI and IRS.

Robbers: "......"
