FBI detective

Chapter 834 Fire
Thursday in a hotel suite in Atlanta, Georgia.

Luo An led the special investigation team of agents to fly here from Washington DC yesterday. After a night's rest, they began investigating information the next day.

"Um……"

At the dining table, Michelle was sitting in front of the computer typing away on the keyboard. Suddenly, she looked strange and stopped talking. Luo An was a little confused when he saw this:

"Michelle, have you found any clues?"

"Uh, no, it's..."

Michelle's expression became more and more strange. Seeing Luo An looking at her in confusion, she smiled awkwardly, showed the computer screen to Luo An, and explained:

"I just checked Anatoly's past experiences to see if I could find some clues on him, and then I found this person..."

Michelle was halfway through her speech, not knowing how to continue. Roan turned his gaze to the computer screen and carefully reviewed Anatoly's past experiences.

Anatoly was born into a wealthy family. Before he grew up, his father became addicted to football gambling and lost all the family fortune in just one year. He then began to drink and abuse his wife and children.

His mother was beaten to death by his father one day, and Anatoly has suffered from some mental illness and hemophobia since then.

After his father was arrested and imprisoned, Anatoly was sent to an orphanage, which closed down a few years later due to lack of financial resources. Anatoly was still two years away from adulthood at that time, but age never prevents people from entering the university of society.

Anatoly first joined a car repair shop as an apprentice. When the repair shop owner's business was getting bigger and bigger and he was preparing to open a branch, he was suddenly thrown into jail due to tax issues, and the repair shop went bankrupt.

Anatoly then found a job as a waiter in a restaurant. The restaurant was prosperous for a while, but then it was burned down to ruins by fire.

Anatoly later worked in several bakeries, grocery stores, and supermarkets. Those places were prosperous for a while, but then they suffered accidents and never recovered.

After Anatoly joined the treasure hunting ship, less than half a year after they set out on the ship, the treasure hunting team found the shipwreck and gold... and then they were robbed by their fellow thieves.

"..."

After reading the information on the computer, Luo An's eyelids twitched. Michelle looked strange. After a few seconds of silence, he whispered:
"It must be a coincidence. Anatoly has worked in gun stores, hospitals and other places before, and there are no problems in those places."

Luo An nodded without saying anything, pushed the computer back to Michelle, and asked her to continue investigating and looking for clues.

"I am back!"

At this moment, Lacey pushed the door open and walked into the room. She raised the folder in her hand and said:
"Roan, I have obtained the information about the night of the crime from the Atlanta police."

"Good, thank you for your hard work."

Luo An took the folder and looked through it carefully. Michelle asked Lacey what happened that night, and Lacey answered seriously:
"The Atlanta police said that on the night of the incident, about eight people raided a rental house.

There were 10 people in the rental house. At first they didn't react and were caught on the spot.

During the process, some unknown accident occurred and several grenades were detonated, killing two of the attackers and six of the captured people.

The remaining four people in the rental house tried to flee, but six angry attackers beat one of them to death on the spot. Only three people took advantage of the chaos to drive away, and the attackers chased them in anger.

Michelle nodded slightly at this, which matched Anatoly's confession perfectly.

Lacey continued:

“The grenade explosion caused quite a commotion, and patrol officers from nearby areas drove over to check it out.

On the way, one of the police cars driven by several patrol officers had a flat tire, one broke down, and another accidentally hit a tree.

By the time more police officers followed the pursuers and arrived at the factory in the suburbs of Atlanta, the fight had already ended and a huge fire had broken out.

The police were unable to put out the fire and could only call the fire department, who sent police to the factory ruins to inspect the situation the next day.

"..." After listening to Lacey's description, Michelle was speechless.

She can accept a flat tire and a breakdown, but isn’t the one hitting a tree from behind too much?
Lacey spread her hands. Atlanta is a city with a reputation in the federation for its simple folk customs and talented people. Besides, the police are not well-funded and the funding is even declining year by year. It was just that the police officer was too excited and accidentally drove into a tree. It was a small problem.

"It doesn't matter. This document provides us with a lot of clues."

Seeing Michelle who was somewhat indignant, Luo An shook his head slightly, pointed at the folder and smiled faintly:

“The police said they later found nine charred bodies in the burning factory.

There were three camps in the factory that night: the pursuers, the treasure hunting team, and the team making counterfeit money.

Anatoly said during interrogation that when the three of them drove into the factory, there were a total of six people inside, and these people should be the counterfeit money team.

Including the six pursuers, there were a total of 6 people at the scene. Excluding Anatoly who escaped, nine of the remaining 15 people died and only five survived.

Regardless of which camp these five people belong to, all three camps have suffered heavy losses.”

"Yes."

Lacey nodded heavily and continued:

"Mona has gone to the autopsy department of the Atlanta police. It won't take long to find out the true identities of those who died."

Michelle's eyes lit up:
"Then we can follow the clues and find out who made the counterfeit money."

"Everyone, I'm back."

A few minutes later, Winslow and Chenier returned to the hotel suite together. After a few sips of water, Chenier began to introduce:

"Roan, Winslow and I followed your request and checked the details of the factory where the counterfeit money gang was located.

The owner of the factory was a man named Tang Ente. We followed the information and finally found him in a nursing home. "

"nursing home?"

Lacey and Michelle were stunned for a moment, Chenier nodded, her face looked very unhappy, and explained:
"Donente is 86 years old and suffers from severe Alzheimer's disease. He can't speak, so we can't ask him about the factory.

In other words, Tang Ente probably doesn't even know that he has a factory under his name."

"Also, counterfeit money is rampant in Atlanta's underworld, and the exact amount is still unknown."

As soon as Chenier finished speaking, Winslow added that many of the guys who used counterfeit money had picked up the counterfeit money for free in the suburbs of Atlanta.

"It looks like that fire."

Luo An thought for a moment and quickly figured out what had happened. He said in a deep voice:
"The fire did not burn all the counterfeit banknotes in the factory. Many of them were blown away by the wind or snatched away by brave guys during the chaos."

There are many people in the federal underground world who are good at taking advantage of troubled waters, stealing corpses after the fact, and even making a living from it.

The people in the room fell silent for a moment. Their goal was to track down and arrest the counterfeit money team, but this case was also related to another case of gang robbing gangs. The clues at hand were quite complicated, but not many of them were useful, which was a headache.

Jingle Bell--

At this moment, Luo An's cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button and Mona's somewhat excited voice came out:

"Luo An, good news, I have found out who died in the factory fire that night!

Not only that, I also found out the identity of the group that was hunting Anatoly!"
