Chapter 651: Office area of the special investigation team
Luo An took the folder, frowned slightly and asked:
What does it mean to be "purged out"? β
Verenis chuckled and asked rhetorically:
"In this building, have you seen the agents of the special investigation team, or the office area of the special investigation team?"
Luo An was stunned for a moment, he hadn't paid close attention to this matter before, and as soon as Verenes said it, he remembered that although he knew that there was a special investigation team, the people of the thirteenth investigation team had basically never seen them on weekdays.
Seeing that Luo An was a little confused, Verenis explained with a smile:
"The special investigation team, as you hear the name, knows that it is an investigation team specially established to deal with certain cases.
Most special investigation teams need to cooperate with many other law enforcement agencies, such as the Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Bureau of Seizure and Explosives (DEA), etc. β
Compared with other ordinary investigation teams, the special investigation team is more like a multi-agency joint operation investigation team, and often coordinates the recruitment of agents from other law enforcement agencies on a case-by-case basis.
The FBI will recruit people from DEA and other departments, and DEA and other departments will sometimes recruit FBI agents, which makes most of the members of the special investigation team very large.
"The offices inside the FBI's Washington headquarters building are at a premium, and it's impossible to free up so much space for so many people."
Vereneth explains:
"Therefore, these special investigation teams have been looking for their own places and constructing their own office areas to handle cases.
After a long time, these special investigation teams basically gathered in one building, that is, the high-rise building 800 meters west of the FBI's headquarters in Washington. β
After Vereneth's introduction, it dawned on Roan that he had come to the FBI headquarters in Washington for the first time before, and when he passed by the building, he was still wondering what kind of company it was, and why there was no sign.
Looking down and carefully examining the documents, Luo An found that in addition to asking him to lead a special investigation team to go to that building to find a place to set up an office, there was also a rent allocation.
Because the building is owned by the Federal Ministry of Justice, the special investigation teams still have to pay rent to work in it.
The bulk of the rent is generally borne by the main department behind the special investigation team, and Luo An and others are from the FBI, and this money is naturally allocated by the FBI.
In addition, the allocation of funds in the document is a bit too much, and the proportion is roughly allocated according to the office area of 15 people, and Luo An's No. 13 investigation team is currently only 6 people with him.
Considering that if he encounters a new case in the future, there is a high probability that he will be temporarily transferred to other law enforcement members, Luo An closed the folder and smiled at Verenis:
"Thank you, sir."
Verenis smiled and took a sip of her coffee, and the two continued to chat for a while, and Luo Ann got up with the folder and returned to the office area of Investigation Team 13.
The arrest of Salles cost a lot of money to handle the case, and Roan also needed to sort out the documents and report them to Vereneth.
"Everyone's worked hard."
Winslow and Lacey had returned to Investigation Team 13, and everyone was gathering to chat, when Roan pushed the door and walked in to attract everyone's attention, he waved his hand and said directly:
"There will be a two-day holiday tomorrow, everyone have a good rest!"
Winslow and Chenelle's eyes lit up, Michelle was also full of surprise, and Lacey shouted with excitement on her face:
"Hooray! Luo An, you're so handsome! β
Mona was also very happy, and took the document in Luo An's hand easily, and she suddenly frowned slightly:
"Investigation Team 13's office area has been cleared?!"
βWhatοΌβ
Lacey's cheering action froze, Winslow and the others were also slightly stunned, Luo An smiled and waved his hand:
"Don't overthink it, it's not a bad thing."
After listening to Luo An's description, everyone present immediately breathed a sigh of relief, Chenelle began to check the specific contents of the document with Mona, and Lacey next to her thought about it and said with a strange expression:
"Ann, I have a question."
"You say."
"Why do we always change venues?"
Lacey snapped her fingers and calculated:
"From Investigation Group 5 in New York, to the Special Investigation Team in Los Angeles, to Investigation Group 13 at the headquarters in Washington, D.C., and now to the Special Investigation Group.
We didn't seem to be in the same place for more than a year. β
Luo An was also a little speechless, thought about it, and said with a smile:
"On the other hand, we're always driving new cars and using new equipment."
While in New York, Roan earned a lot of equipment for Investigation Team Five, such as laptops and new cars, which they all stayed in New York when he left Investigation Team Five.
While in Los Angeles, Roan earned more for the special investigation team, brand-new cars, SUVs, weaponry, and even tables, chairs, and benches.
When he left Los Angeles for Washington, he didn't waste any of these things, and resold them all to Morton York, the leader of Investigation No. 4, at a 10% discount.
Morton York was helpless and speechless about this, because those tables, chairs, benches, and even whiteboards were originally forced to give to Luo An in the first place, and Luo An actually sold them backhanded.
Later, the 13th investigation team was established, and the equipment, computers, desks, chairs, etc. in the office area of the FBI headquarters building in Washington were all allocated by Mr. Clement, and Roan only had the right to use them but did not own them.
However, Luo An asked casually just now, and Verenis said that these devices can be obtained by the special investigation team later, and there is no need to buy them again, which successfully saves a sum of money.
After a short frolic, everyone packed up their things and left the office area and drove back to their respective residences.
A three-story villa in a community northwest of the FBI's headquarters in Washington.
"It's finally back."
Putting on her shoes and walking into the living room, Mona leaned forward and buried herself in the sofa, her body slumped and made a comfortable sound:
"It's still comfortable at home."
"yes, yes."
Luo An, who also changed into slippers, smiled, lay directly on Mona's side, squeezed Mona off the sofa, and said with emotion:
"I've been exhausted for the past few days."
βοΌβ
Mona, who was squeezed to the ground, was stunned for a moment, reacted and pulled a pillow, and smashed Luo An with an unhappy face.
"Don't fight! I was wrong! β
Luo An smiled and quickly raised his hand to block Mona's pillow:
"I'm not healed!"
In the previous battle, Luo An was shot in the shoulder, although the bullet was taken out and bandaged afterwards, but in order not to attract the attention of others, Luo An did not take the [Regeneration Potion], and the wound on his shoulder was still tightly wrapped in bandages.
"Humph!"
Mona snorted lightly, of course she remembered this, so she didn't plan to use it hard, she gently smashed Luo An's head with a pillow, she got up and walked to the kitchen, and asked:
"What's going to eat tonight? I'll do it. β
"How about eating out later?"
"I'm so tired, I finally got home and didn't want to go out."
"What about beef potatoes?"
"OK, I'll add two more lamb chops."
After the discussion, Mona's chef Luo An occasionally gave her a hand on the side, and the two of them began to enjoy dinner when the food was ready.
opened a bottle of milk and looked at it, making sure that it had not expired, Luo An poured it into the cup, walked back to the dining table and asked casually:
"Have you contacted Caroline lately?"
"Yes."
Mona took a fork and picked up a piece of beef, and said as she ate:
"She's looking into starting a company."
"What company?"
"It's like a clothing design company."
Mona replied:
"She wanted to pull me into the shares, but I didn't agree."
While eating dinner, they chatted, and after eating, they rested for a while and began to go back to the house to rest.
The next morning, Luo An was fiddling with the computer when he suddenly received a phone call:
"Good morning, Mr. Greenwood, it's me, Michael Bray, do you have time? We need to meet in person. β
