Ophelia Modlin, 42, was a member of the military who was sent by the military to work with Roan's special investigation team in the case of the loss of a nuclear warhead.

Before the search was launched, Roan communicated with Ophelia for a while, and found that the woman spoke half-truths and half-truths, and lied without drafting, and her expression did not change.

Luo An chose to arrange Ophelia to his side and carefully observe with his own team, preventing her from acting with the rest of the investigation team and making trouble at critical moments and trapping other agents.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the investigation, there was still a disappearance of Chenier and Lacey.

When Ophelia is asked, she still lies and does not admit that the military is involved, and asks Roan to focus on finding nuclear warheads, and that Chenelle and Lacey are not important.

So Roan knocked Ophelia unconscious and stuffed it into the trunk of the SUV, because he didn't want to continue to listen to Ophelia's lies, he wanted to find someone to save someone.

The second is just in case, if the military is prepared to be unfavorable to Chenille and Lacey, he also has corresponding hostage counter-threats on his side, delaying time to find a way.

Through mine negotiations, Captain Joceley released Chenelle and Lacey, and later to continue the search for nuclear warheads, Roan left the SUV with Winslow to observe the farm, and released Ophelia in hindsight.

Winslow memorized the previous orders, and the latter words were accidentally overshadowed by the fierce battle scene on the farm.

“……”

In the parking lot, Ophelia Modlin, who was released, had a flushed face, her chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes were round and staring at Luo An and the others.

Ophelia doesn't have claustrophobia or anything like that, nor does she have a fear of the dark, as she trained for a longer period of time in her youth.

Ophelia is not angry about these, but people can go without food or water for a short time, but internal contradictions must be resolved.

This kind of thing can be postponed, but it cannot be fundamentally stopped...... So at this time, the taste on Ophelia's body is very complicated.

Selectively ignoring the murderous gaze of the other party, Roan contacted the military and asked them to send someone to take Ophelia away, rest for the night, and fly back to Washington, D.C. the next morning.

Winslow and Chenelle returned to the office area of the special investigation team, while Luo An went to the office of Vereneth in the headquarters building.

Knocking on the door and entering the room, Luo An smiled:

"Good morning, sir."

In the office, Verenis's face was a little ugly, but when Luo An entered the room, her face gradually calmed down, and she nodded:

"Good morning, you've worked this operation."

Luo An smiled and didn't say anything, and sat down on the chair opposite her as usual, Verenes rummaged through a folder on the table and handed it to Luo An, and said in a serious tone:

"I've roughly figured out the situation on the military side."

Luo An reached out to take the folder with some surprise, Verenis didn't sell it, and snorted coldly and briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter.

Some time ago, a certain secret laboratory of the military lost more than a dozen keys, as well as 3.2 kilograms of highly enriched uranium.

In order to prevent himself from being demoted and dealt with, the head of the laboratory decided to suppress the matter, seize the time to find the thief who stole the keys and high-enriched uranium, and retrieve what was lost.

It just so happened that air-to-air missiles during the Cold War were discovered during this time.

The person in charge planned to let his henchmen take away the nuclear warheads of air-to-air missiles, pretend to be sellers, and go to the underground black market to find traces of thieves by selling the nuclear warheads.

Only the black market, which buys and sells items related to nuclear bombs, has clues from other participants in the market, and finally finds the thief who stole the high-concentration uranium and catches him.

Treasure hunting star Mateo is actually the henchman of the person in charge, the helper he contacted, and his plan to switch between real and fake nuclear warheads also has the help of the henchmen of the person in charge.

Captain Josley was sent by the person in charge to "secretly find" the nuclear warheads, but the actual task was to assist and help, to ensure that the nuclear warheads were taken and sold by Mateo, as well as to find the thief, arrest the thief, and recover the keys and high-enriched uranium.

As for Luo An and others, it was just that the person in charge had to bring in the investigation team for the sake of the superficial procedures, because finding things fell within the scope of the FBI's work.

Ophelia Modlin is a henchman of the person in charge, and the purpose is to observe Luo An and disrupt the investigation activities of Luo An and others at the right time.

The plan was perfect, and the superior in charge breathed a long sigh of relief, just waiting for the nuclear warhead to fish out the clue of the thief.

Then Sobian, who had dreamed of Texas independence, jumped out and killed Mateo first, then snatched the nuclear warhead.

Person in charge: "......"

Just when the person in charge was anxious and asked his henchmen to prevaricate Verines, Roan found the Ministry of Defense with a phone call.

Federal law stipulates that the Federal Minister of Defence, the Deputy Minister of Defence, and the Minister of the Army, Navy and Air Force must be civilians.

The Minister of Defence is equal to the Minister of the Armed Services and is an official of the federal government and does not have direct command over the federal forces, but is only the Chief Executive.

Nuclear-related incidents, after all, are exceptional, and the Federal Ministry of Defense has the right to investigate and deal with them.

After receiving information from Luo An, a certain deputy minister of defense asked his subordinates to check the relevant reports on the air-to-air missile nuclear warhead incident, and then found that there were many discrepancies between the actual situation and the report.

Further down the line, the loss of keys and high-enriched uranium soon came to light.

Person in charge: "......"

Some things are not weighed as four or two, and they can't be beaten by a few thousand catties on the scale. The same applies at the federal level.

Coupled with the fact that there is a lot of dirt between the Ministry of Defense and the military system, and the loss of raw materials for nuclear bombs is also an alternative handle, the matter has now begun to move in other directions, such as the struggle for power and the exchange of interests.

After listening to Verenis's words, Luo An's eyelids jumped, and he was silent for a while, he raised his head and asked:

"Sir, this information ...... Where did you get that? ”

Vereneth was so detailed that it involved the military, which the president couldn't get his hands on, and Roan couldn't figure out how she got it.

"Hehehe......"

Verenis lifted Erlang's legs, leaned back and crossed her hands, a subtle pride flashed in her eyes, and she smiled:

"Roan, this is Washington, and as we all know, Washington has no secrets."

Many things are secrets that the people of the Federation will never know for a lifetime, but they are nothing to some people in Washington, D.C.

For example, top-secret documents in a president's garage.

The federal army is self-contained, integrated from top to bottom, and it is difficult to get the information you want. But the Department of Defense is in Washington, D.C., and the people in the Department of Defense are all federal government officials.

The secrecy of federal government officials is second only to that of those in the British Empire.

Looking at Verenis, who had her head held high and her expression a little proud, the corners of Luo An's mouth twitched.

I don't know whether to admire Vereneth's strong connections, or to lament the strong sense of secrecy of federal government personnel.

Throwing these nonsense thoughts to the back of his mind, Roan opened the folder in his hand and found that it had nothing to do with the missing nuclear warhead, but a follow-up to the previous explosion.

The boring text Luo An skipped directly, and his gaze moved down to the end, and the $1.4 million on it was very conspicuous.

The corners of Luo An's mouth rose, and he was just about to speak, when his mobile phone suddenly rang, he pressed the answer button, and the familiar charming voice sounded:

"Team Leader Luoan, I've already helped you, now it's time for you to help me."
