The co-pilot of the car, Luo An was fiddling with his mobile phone, and when he heard Mona's question, he looked up and smiled:

"Remember when IRS Director Elmer invited us to dinner at his house before this nuclear warhead was lost?"

Mona thought for a moment and asked:

"He's messaging you again?"

"That's right."

Roan showed Mona the text message, and he received the message not long after the special investigation team returned to Washington, D.C.

The red light turned green, Mona started the car and continued on its way, and the two returned to the villa to rest for a while, changed their clothes and drove to Elmer's house.

Located in the eastern part of Washington, D.C., Elmer's House is a medium-sized villa with a large lawn in front of it.

"Good evening!"

In front of the villa, Luo An and Elmer hugged, and Luo An handed each other a bottle of red wine:

"A small gift."

"Thank you."

Elmer laughed and led Roan into the villa, where his wife, Kate, and Mona walked into the living room together.

There were two other girls sitting on the sofa in the center of the living room of the villa, the older one named Xia Annie, who attended her coming-of-age ceremony, and the younger one named Bella, the second daughter of Elmer and his wife.

"Good evening, ladies."

"Good evening."

Luo An smiled and waved at the two girls, Mona took out two small jewelry and gave them them, the two girls opened the box and their eyes lit up, and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Sister Mona, thank you, Uncle Roan."

Ann: "......"

Elmer's wife, Kate, patted the two girls hard, and the two girls smiled and led Mona out of the living room, Roan didn't care about the little joke and went into the study with Elmer, while Elmer's wife went to the kitchen to start preparing food.

The two of them sat down in the study, and Luo An asked casually:

"How's Madoff's Ponzi Scheme handled?"

"Madoff is very cooperative, we're pretty much done, and the main thing left is to transfer money to middle-class families who have been cheated."

Elmer took out a bottle of red wine, opened it and poured a glass for Roan and himself, and took the initiative to touch it with Roan, with a very sincere smile on his face.

There are a lot of people and things involved behind this case, and if it weren't for Luo An's advice for him and the introduction of Mr. Clement and FBI Director Robert for him, the situation would probably not be so smooth.

It is not impossible that he will be shot in the back and be convicted of suicide.

Roan smiled, picked up the glass and took a sip, Elmer finished drinking and took a cigar and asked:

"I heard that the case you handled this time is related to the military?"

Elmer handed the cigar to Roan, who took it but didn't smoke it, nodded and asked:

"Where did you hear that?"

"Just ask around."

Elmer lit his cigar and said:

"There are no secrets in Washington, D.C."

Luo An frowned slightly, this was the second time he had heard this sentence today.

If you are a clue gatherer, this situation is really good for you.

But if you want to hide something, this sentence also means that some situations are troublesome.

Seeing the expression on Roan's face, the corners of Elmer's mouth raised slightly, and he asked:

"How are you going to keep your case a secret?"

"That's right."

Luo Ann did not hide:

"If some information is leaked in the process of handling a case in the future, I am afraid that it will be quite troublesome later."

Seeing Luo An's brows furrowed slightly, Elmer spat out a puff of cigar and said:

"In fact, it is very simple, only people will be interested in the news, and only people will leak information, and people are the carriers of information dissemination.

A lot of information in Washington, D.C. is not that it is not known by others, but that people who know it will not say, or dare not say it. ”

Roan understood the meaning of Elmer's words, the other party did not ask him to solve the person who spread the news, but needed to know more people.

With all sorts of thoughts flashing, Roan picked up the glass and lifted it, and began to talk to Elmer about other things.

Not long after, Elmer's second daughter knocked on the door of the study, indicating that dinner was ready.

"Wow."

Walking into the kitchen with Elmer and his second daughter, Ann's eyes lit up when he saw the dishes on the table.

The food on the table ranges from the common vegetable salad of the Federation to grilled beef and lamb, but the most eye-catching thing is the red lobster.

Because the Federation has a separate meal system, in front of each person at the table, there is a cheese baked lobster with the carapace removed at this time, and the cheese covers most of the body.

In the center of the table, there are two giant lobsters that are the length of an adult's arm, divided in two lengthwise, and are roasted at high temperature until the whole body is red, and the shrimp looks slightly charred, but the actual surface is very crispy, and exudes a rich aroma.

Seeing that Roan was a little surprised, Kate, the wife of Director Elmer, smiled and introduced:

"It's a Boston lobster."

Roanne Greenwood's hometown was Boston, where he lived with his parents until he left Boston for New York when both of them died and he became an adult.

Although the Boston lobster is actually a Maine lobster and has little to do with the city of Boston itself, Roan still felt the heart of the Elmer family, and a smile bloomed on his face, saying:

"I can't wait to try it."

"Then try it!"

Elmer patted Roan on the shoulder, sat down at the table with Roan, and said with a smile:

"Trust me, you're going to love this dish. Marrying Kate was the luckiest thing in my life. ”

Kate gave Elmer a blank look, smiled and sat down with Mona, the two girls drank drinks, and the four adults picked up their glasses and touched them:

“Cheers！”

Kate's craftsmanship is truly excellent, whether it's cheese-baked lobster or Boston lobster, Roan feels that they are even as good as the dishes made in some of the restaurants outside.

After talking, Roan and Mona learned that after giving birth to their second daughter, Kate had some minor problems with her body.

Coupled with Elmer's own salary and bonuses, Kate quit her job and went home to rest, making dishes is one of her hobbies.

After a dinner meal, the guests and the hosts were happy, and after the fruit break and chatted for a while, Roan and Mona got up to leave.

Before leaving, Kate brought the two of them some special pickles that she made herself, as well as a family recipe that she made herself, which was not only delicious but also very simple.

Half an hour later, the two returned to the villa.

Luo Anhe put the pickles he brought back into the refrigerator for storage, Mona sat on the sofa and looked at the recipe in amazement, then looked up and smiled:

"Luo An, we can stop eating potatoes and beef next, the dishes here are enough for us not to eat the same for a month."

Luo An sat on the sofa, his body tilted, his head lying on Mona's lap, and asked with a smile:

"A question, do you do it or do I do it?"

"Of course you do."

Mona put the recipe aside, bowed her head and smiled:

"Your food is better than mine."

"Where's the dishwashing?"

"It's also washing, because you're washing cleaner than I am."

"So what do you do?"

"I'll take care of eating and grading you."

Luo An raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but Mona immediately reached out to cover his mouth and changed the subject:

"By the way, Caroline called me yesterday and said she was looking for you.

I asked her what was the matter, and she didn't say it, so she had to call her, what was going on? ”

Ann: "......"
