FBI detective

Chapter 780: Chatting, camping

Five-thirty in the afternoon, Washington, D.C., "Insomnia Building", office area of ​​the Special Investigation Team.

After reading Thomas's interrogation record, Winslow, Chenelle, Lacey, Mona and Michelle all had ugly expressions.

The other party's behavior of buying a murderer to kill the whole family for the sake of having an illegitimate child is really too bad and disgusting.

Mona cursed a few words in a low voice, turned to look at Luo An, and found that Luo An was facing away from several people, with his arms folded in front of his chest, and he was concentrating on watching the TV at the front of the office area.

Mona walked to Luo An, looked at the TV and asked with some confusion:
"Luo An, what are you looking at?"

Luo An picked up a cup of coffee and handed it to Mona. He also picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip, smiling:
"I'm watching the breeze and sunshine before a storm."

The [Polonium 210 Case] ​​is over, and time has officially entered January 2007.

What was playing on the TV at this time was financial news that many people didn't like to watch.

A female reporter on the TV said that New Century Financial, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the federal government, is suspected of having a business crisis or operating crisis recently.

"We're talking about Thomas and his illegitimate son."

“Do you want to short this company’s stock?”

Luo An shook his head, took the folder and said:
"Mr. Clement has sent other detectives to handle this matter, so we don't need to intervene."

The company's senior managers denied the incident, claiming that the company's business was normal and operating profits were still considerable. However, many senior managers began to quietly sell the company's shares...

"As long as we handle it, the case in our hands will be fine."

After watching the news on TV for a while, Mona didn't understand what Luo An meant and asked:

Luo An shook the folder and said:
“This case seems to be one case, but in fact it is several cases connected together.

"I had this thought, but I forgot about it."

The murder of "Blue-Eyed Roy", the case of the CIA director sending agents to kill him, the poisoning case of Veranis, the kidnapping of the head of the nuclear laboratory and the case of conspiracy..."

New Century Financial Corporation declared bankruptcy in April 07, and now it is January, about three months away.

In addition, there is the "Office of Integrity and Rules leaked information" incident.

"What are you talking about?"

Luo An shook his head helplessly. These cases needed to be filed separately.

"What did Mr. Clement say? Do you want our special investigation team to catch the illegitimate child?"

The subprime mortgage crisis was the prelude to the financial crisis. The decline in the housing market was the prelude to the subprime mortgage crisis. The bankruptcy of New Century Financial Corporation was the whistle that the federal housing market began to decline.

With this information flashing through his mind quickly, Luo An smiled and patted the confused Mona on the shoulder, then walked towards Lacey and the others and asked:

Lacey shook the folder in her hand, and asked without concealing the displeasure in her eyes:

Thomas' case from earlier years was handed over by Mr. Clement to other investigation teams for handling. In fact, it was to share some pressure with Luo An's special investigation team.

Chenier frowned:
"Then let's..."

Mona is an expert in computer knowledge and skills, but her knowledge in finance can only be described as knowing basic words.

Luo An put down his coffee cup and shook his head.

"no problem."

Michelle raised her hand and gave Luo An an OK sign, indicating that she could just leave this aspect to her.

"Don't worry, we have plenty of time."

Luo An smiled and explained a few words briefly. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he changed the subject and asked:
"Everyone, do you have any thoughts on how many days you can rest after handling this case?"

"No."

All the detectives shook their heads. They were used to taking a few days off after handling a case. They would rest with their families, read and sleep, or go to nightclubs to have fun.

Seeing that no one had any ideas, Luo An thought for a while and said:

"How about we go camping together someday?" "Camping?"

Lacey's eyes instantly lit up when she heard this word, and she quickly raised her hand and asked:

"Is it the kind where you set up a tent at night? Can you bring your family members?"

"..."xN
Everyone looked at Lacey with speechless faces, and Winslow complained:
"Where do you get your family from?"

Lacey put her hands on her hips, glanced at Winslow, and said:

"Isn't a girlfriend considered a family member?"

The detectives had black lines all over their heads. Luo An rubbed his temples and asked helplessly:

"Who is your girlfriend? The girl with long red hair named Susan?"

"First of all, the girl's name is Lily, not Susan. You misremembered their names."

Lacey shook her finger seriously and introduced:
"Second, the Lily you are talking about is my girlfriend two months ago. My girlfriend this month is Sophia. She is a college student who came to intern in a government department in Washington, DC."

"…SIX."

Luo An twitched the corner of his mouth and gave Lacey a thumbs up. Then he chose to ignore the question she asked again, looked at the other people and asked:

"What about you? Do you have time?"

"I'm OK."

Winslow spread his big hands, smiled, and said:

"Lanita resigned from the company where she originally worked. She hasn't had much to do recently, so we just happened to have a picnic together."

"We have no problem either."

Chenelle and Michelle had always been alone and had nothing to do during the holidays. They looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"OK."

Luo An smiled, pushed away Lacey who was still asking if he could bring his girlfriend to participate, and asked:
"Do you guys have any suggestions for a camping spot?"

"I know a good place!"

Mona raised her hand, and just as she started speaking, Luo An added:
"By the way, try not to choose places that are inaccessible...and try not to choose places like lakeside cabins."

The reason for not choosing an off-the-beaten path location was for safety reasons, as Winslow’s son is still young this year.

As for not choosing the lake house... mainly because the name sounds unlucky.

Mona rolled her eyes. She found her laptop, tapped the keyboard a few times to bring up a photo of a very beautiful scenery, and said:
"How about we go to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming? It's one of the best places in the Commonwealth for camping!"

Chenelle and Michelle nodded:
"I think it's okay."

Winslow also raised an OK gesture:
"I'm OK."

Luo An finally looked at Lacey. Lacey frowned slightly and said:
“Yellowstone National Park… I remember camping there seemed like you had to fight for spots.”

"Indeed it is."

Mona tapped the keyboard a few times to bring up the relevant information, then showed the screen to everyone and said with a smile:
“But the places are on a first-come, first-served basis, so I think it’s no problem for us.”

Lacey laughed when she heard this:
"OK, then I'm fine."

Luo An picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, smiling:
"Then everyone prepares in the past few days, and we will set off together in four days."

"No problem!"xN
There was endless laughter in the office area, and the laughter lasted for a while until after get off work time, everyone left the building in their own cars and began to go home to rest.

Luo An and Mona returned to the villa and first called the service company that cleaned the villa. After the service staff cleaned the villa that had been unoccupied for the past few days, they started making dinner together.

After dinner, they took a short rest and went upstairs to wash up and prepare to go to bed. Because they were too tired these past few days, Mona was not in the mood to play games, so she lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Luo An was not in a hurry to sleep. He closed his eyes and opened the light blue page.
