Two and a half p.m., at the FBI's headquarters in Washington, Mr. Clement's office.

The secretary pushed open the door, and Luo An walked into the office with a soft thanks, and then greeted Mr. Clement:

"Good afternoon, sir."

In the office, in addition to Mr. Clement, there was a middle-aged white man with a big golden back who looked to be in his thirties.

Seeing Roan walk into the office, Mr. Clement nodded at him, then got up and introduced:

"This is the Thirteenth Investigation Team Leader, Roan Greenwood.

This is Ethan Murray, from Nevada. ”

"Hello, Mr. Murray."

"Hello, Team Leader Greenwood."

The two stretched out their hands and shook hands, Luo An vaguely guessed something, but still asked with some doubts:

"Sir, what is the matter with calling me?"

Mr. Clement did not answer, but turned his gaze to Ethan Mori.

Seeing this, Ethan Mori immediately picked up his briefcase on the sofa, took out a document from it and handed it to Roan, explaining:

"Team Leader Roan, I'm the Chief of Staff for the Nevada, Shemol-Krista State Assembly.

A few days ago, after a dinner party, Councillor Shemol Christa, his sister Lucille Christa, and two bodyguards, a man and a woman, all four of them left the banquet.

The impact of this incident is very bad, and I hope that you will lead Investigation Team 13 and participate in the investigation of this case. ”

Luo An looked at the information in the folder, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent.

In the original [Murder of Everyone in the Family Villa] (Chapter 441), the real target of the murderer was a 75-year-old white woman named Christa.

Councillor Shemol Christa, who is 40 years old this year, is the eldest son of the 75-year-old woman.

Lucille Christa, 38 years old, is the second daughter of the old woman.

In addition to this, the old woman has a third son, 33 years old, named Rist Christa.

According to the information in the documents, the third son was traveling in other countries at the time of the crime and is currently taking over and presiding over the affairs of the Krista family.

"Mr. Murray, I have a question."

After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An closed the folder, looked up and asked:

"This case, both local law enforcement in Las Vegas and law enforcement in Nevada have the ability to investigate this case.

So, why look for me? ”

Chief of Staff Ethan Murray did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Mr. Clement to the side.

Mr. Clement waved at Ethan Mori, who nodded, turned and walked out of the office.

Luo An frowned slightly:

"Sir?"

"Sit."

Mr. Clement motioned for Roan to take a chair and sit down, muttered for a few seconds, and said:

"Roan, Nevada is a swing state."

Swing state, a very federal word.

There are two political parties in the federal union, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, and every four years in the presidential election, both parties compete for votes in the country's 50 states to find ways to expand their advantage.

There are 50 states in the Union, and voters in some states often cast different votes, and it is possible that this time they will vote for the Democratic Party, but the next time they will become Republicans.

These states that have wavered in voting ideas are called swing states.

Luo An nodded, although he didn't pay much attention to these things, he knew something about living in the Federation for so long.

Mr. Clement went on to say:

"In recent years, the battle between Republicans and Democrats in Nevada has grown, and now it's '06, and it's time to elect a new president again.

Congressman Shemol-Christa, who belongs to the Republican camp in Nevada, plus the family behind him still has a certain strength, and the business and political circles are entangled, making this matter untrustworthy to anyone, and the case is difficult to investigate.

Therefore, some local high-level officials hope that our FBI headquarters will send someone to investigate and deal with this case. ”

After Mr. Clement finished explaining, Luo An nodded suddenly:

The local area is a mess, and no one on all sides can believe it, so they have to sit down to talk about cooperation and find an unrelated outsider to break the situation.

"In addition, the Krista family has its own attitude."

Mr. Clement went on to add:

The family's only third son, Rister Christa, said that the missing people were his brother and sister, and that he was willing to fund the law enforcement officers who investigated the case clearly, and that he would fund $10 million in special case funds.

“…… is worthy of a family in the city of Las Vegas, and it really knows how to solve crimes. ”

When Luo An heard this, his face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"No problem, sir, I will definitely try to investigate this case."

“…… Good。 ”

Clement glanced at Luo An speechlessly, and after a few simple words, Luo An turned around and left the office.

Investigation Team 13, Office Area.

"So, you're going on a business trip this time?"

Lacey sat on the chair, turned around in a circle boringly, looked at the documents that Luo An got back, and complained with an unhappy face:

"And it's Las Vegas again! Didn't you say before that you would never go to that casino again if there was no accident? ”

"I've said it all, if there is no accident."

Luo Ann took the folder and tapped Lacey's head lightly:

"Now that someone is dead, isn't it just an accident."

"Hmph."

Lacey wrinkled her nose and snorted softly at Roan, who ignored him, then turned her gaze to Michelle next to her and asked:

"You said before that the situation of the Krista family is very bad now, and that's what you mean by this?"

"That's right."

Michelle nodded and added:

"Also, the cross that the guy in the hospital said, after we returned it to the Krista family, has been carried by Councillor Shemol-Krista all along.

The ruby ring was worn by his sister, Lucille Christa.

Now the two are missing, as are the cross and the ruby ring. ”

Winslow next to him thought about it, and said with a strange face:

"Is there some curse on this cross and ruby ring?"

Ann and Michelle looked at him suspiciously, and Lacey next to her suddenly slapped her face with wide eyes, and said:

"It's a possibility!

You see, Christa, a 75-year-old woman with a cross around her neck and a ruby ring on her hand, died in that villa.

This time, her eldest son wore a cross and her second daughter wore a ruby ring, but both disappeared, and no one was alive or dead.

Only the third son, who wore nothing, escaped this catastrophe. ”

“……”x3

Seeing Winslow and Lacey with solemn faces, Michelle and Chenelle were speechless, Luo An waved his hand helplessly:

"Don't think about it, hurry up and pack your things, the plane is ready, let's go later!"

"Understood!"

"No problem!"

Michelle, Winslow, Lacey, and Chenelle nodded in agreement.

Luo An turned around and walked into the team leader's office to pack up his things, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and he whispered to himself:

"Cursed ......"

————

Because Mona's health has not yet recovered, she has to stay in Washington, D.C. Road Villa to rest.

Two hours later, Investigator Troves Thirteen, along with Senator Ethan Murray, boarded a plane bound for Nevada.

There were no words all the way, and after a few hours of flight, everyone arrived in Las Vegas without incident.

After a long flight and a rest, everyone took a taxi to the hotel they had booked in advance, prepared to rest for the night, and began the official investigation tomorrow.

Suddenly staying alone in a hotel, Luo An actually felt a little uncomfortable, packed up his personal belongings, and lay on the bed, watching the relevant information provided by Chief of Staff Ethan Murray.

Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Dong -

Suddenly, there was the sound of the doorbell at the door, and Luo An got out of bed and asked:

"Who?"

"It's me, Michelle."

Opening the door to let the other party in, Michelle didn't talk nonsense, and immediately picked up the laptop and showed it to Luo An, with a shocked face:

"Roan, do you remember that 19-year-old Rexa O'Dele?

I just found out that she and the 33-year-old third son of the Krista family are engaged! ”
