A well-known hotel in the south of Washington, D.C.

In the conference room next to the side hall, Deputy Defense Minister Hernandez took out a mobile phone and a photo from his briefcase and pushed them in front of Luo An.

Luo An didn't reach out to pick it up, he looked at Hernandez, frowned slightly, and asked:

"Mr. Secretary, since it is a covert operation, it is more appropriate for a department under the Department of Defense to handle it, I am from the FBI, and the FBI is an agency under the Department of Justice."

"Under normal circumstances, it does."

Deputy Minister of Defense Hernandez nodded, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance, etc. belong to the same level, and each department has its own administrative body.

"But there is something special about this case."

Hernandez took a sip of the water on the table, and said in a deep voice:

"Certain departments under the Ministry of Defense are not suitable to participate in the investigation."

Luo An still didn't immediately agree to the other party, after all, he is the FBI, the FBI belongs to the Department of Justice, and the other party is the deputy secretary of defense, so he said that this matter needs to be ordered by the FBI director.

"Yes."

Hernandez's expression remained unchanged, not angry at all, and even the appreciation in his eyes increased a little.

Because Hernandez saw from here that Roan is not the kind of person with strong professional ability and zero political IQ.

On the contrary, Luo An's political wisdom is not weak, and he understands the boundaries of various things.

Working in the federal government, it doesn't matter if you have poor ability, you can go further if you know the rules and use the rules.

Hernandez put down the water glass and said that he had sent someone to send the relevant information to FBI Director Robert, and that Roan would be able to get the information when he turned around, and he continued:

"The second thing has to do with the Federal Army."

Hearing the words of the army, Luo An's brows moved slightly, remembering the loss of the nuclear warhead that had just happened.

Hernandez said unhurriedly:

"Team Leader Greenwood helped the Federal Army a lot about that incident some time ago, and the Federal Army is very grateful for that.

After all, the security company was related to the people involved, and the military was not good at dealing with this matter, so the company was handed over to Team Leader Greenwood to help deal with. ”

Luo An's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he understood the meaning of Hernandez's words, the security company was obviously an alternative hush money, and the army wanted the matter to end here.

The military is a special existence in the Federation, Luo An does not intend to have conflicts with those people, and he is not interested in the fight between the Ministry of Defense and the military, so after a little thought, he agreed to Hernandez and said with a smile:

"No problem, Mr. Minister, I will definitely take care of that security company."

“Good。”

Seeing that Luo An reacted so quickly, Hernandez had a smile on his face, and the appreciation in his eyes was even greater.

Hernandez was the deputy minister and did not have much free time, so he left the conference room after a few casual conversations.

Looking at the open door of the conference room, Luo An silently recalled the conversation just now and thought about the details.

Just then, Louise walked into the conference room alone again, closed the door, and twisted the lock on the door.

Bang Bang –

The sound of the door being locked made Luo An come back to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw Louise smiling at the corner of her mouth, holding champagne, with a light and charming smell of perfume, walking towards him step by step with cat steps, he raised his eyebrows and said:

"Miss Louise, your father has just left."

Louise walked up to Roan, raised her head, smiled on her fox-like delicate face, her eyes narrowed slightly, and said:

"Since you talk about my father, do you have any thoughts about fighting for more than ten years?"

"Nope."

Luo An smiled and shook his head:

"I like to get what I want on my own."

"Isn't it good to take fewer detours?"

"I love the scenery on the road."

Luo An says:

"Miss Louise, let's be more straightforward, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"You're so boring."

Louise rolled her eyes slightly, picked up the champagne and took a sip, turned around and sat directly on the conference table, her long skirt fell obliquely to reveal a pair of long and white thighs, and said lightly:

"Team Leader Luo An, I want to join your special investigation team."

"Impossible."

Without even thinking about it, Roan rejected Louise.

From the first contact to the present, Roan is sure that this Louise is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Coupled with her father, the deputy minister, and Mona in the investigation team, he was crazy to let Louise work in the special investigation team.

Luo An shook his head and said:

"Miss Louise, the life of a journalist is varied, and the work of the special investigation team is boring and dangerous, for the sake of your safety in the future, I can't agree to it."

"You're afraid that Mona-Evans will be jealous, afraid that I'll go toe-to-toe with her, right?"

Louise put the champagne on the table, folded her hands around her chest, revealed the bottomless abyss, and asked with a smile:

"That Mona is that good? When standing with her, I really can't figure out what you like about her. ”

Luo An spread his hands and said with a smile:

"It's a feeling to like it, and coincidentally, I feel comfortable with her, and she's comfortable with me, it's as simple as that."

Louise's eyes narrowed slightly:

"You mean, when you're with me, you're not comfortable?"

Luo An smiled slightly and didn't speak, a touch of unhappiness flashed in Louise's eyes, and she left the conference table with a light snort and said:

"Team Leader Luoan, I heard some time ago that there is an action movie based on you that is about to be released, right?"

“……”

Luo Ann was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that Louise was talking about the film rights that Columbia Pictures bought after the [First Lady Bombing] incident.

After the story copyright was sold and the money arrived, Luo Ann put the matter behind him.

During this period, a director called and asked Luo An to go to the company to check the script revision, as well as go to the filming site for sightseeing and sightseeing.

But it was stipulated in the original contract that the box office after the release of the movie had nothing to do with Luo An

So after reading the script, Luo An was sure that he was a positive image, so he refused the other party's other invitations, completely ignoring how the other party filmed the movie.

It doesn't matter if it's a good movie or a bad movie, if Louise hadn't mentioned it, Luo An would have forgotten about it.

"It does."

After a simple calculation of time in his mind, it was indeed at the end of the filmmaking cycle, Luo An nodded and asked:

"Miss Louise wants to make a cameo role in that movie?"

Roan remembers that there was a mayor who was also the governor's daughter, and she wanted to be a big star, and she once asked him about it.

Louise sneered and shook her head:

"No, I'm not interested in showing my arms and legs in movies, and posing with men in half of the Federation."

She is a feminist, coupled with her family background, Louise looks down on Hollywood female stars from the bottom of her heart.

Luo Ann frowned slightly, not understanding what Louise meant:

"And what do you think?"

"The highest award a journalist can receive is the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism."

Louise clasped her hands and stared at Luo Andao:

"But the conditions behind winning the Pulitzer Prize are all political games, and there are many shady ...... Hehe, it's not interesting.

So I wanted to write a story instead, a story that would sell the whole Federation.

Team Leader Roan, you have a lot of experience, and I want to use you as a model to write a detective similar to Sherlock Holmes.

In other words, I want to stay with you for a few months to see how you solve cases and accumulate material. ”

Ann: "......"
