FBI detective

Chapter 836: Employer Identity

A hotel suite in Atlanta.

Team leader Paul's words could easily be misunderstood, but the man was already married and his wife had given birth to a child for him, so there was nothing wrong with his sexual orientation. He was just joking with Luo An.

As for Klaus himself, he was successfully taught a lot of knowledge by Team Leader Paul, who had been walking between black and white for many years, was good at talking, and was even better at harmonious communication. His attitude towards speaking also improved a lot.

Roan asked a few questions and Klaus explained everything very straightforwardly.

What is surprising is that Klaus has always lived in Atlanta, and so do his subordinates such as Carl.

They don't have any regular jobs. They occasionally assemble guns with spare parts and sell them, resell some white flour, and rob a bank when they have nothing to do. Their daily life is very monotonous and meaningless.

Until recently, when Klaus was preparing to buy some low-priced gun parts on an underground website and then assemble finished guns to sell, someone suddenly sent him a message asking him to kidnap someone.

Klaus initially refused. Firstly, he didn't know the other party at all and was worried that the police would conduct a sting operation. Secondly, kidnapping was much more troublesome than robbing a bank and he did not have much experience in this area.

But seeing that the other party was willing to pay a reward of $300,000 and provide all of Anatoly's information, Klaus finally agreed.

It's not that he cares about the money, but he mainly wants to learn an additional skill. Kidnapping is a business that involves a lot of knowledge, and Klaus thinks it's worth learning.

After a brief discussion, Klaus asked for a deposit of $10, prepared some weapons, and started tracking Anatoly from Atlanta all the way to New York.

After reading the written record in Luo An's hand, Lacey frowned:

"That is to say, Klaus doesn't know who hired them."

"It doesn't matter. Klaus has already given us the URL of the underground website, as well as his account and password."

Mona smiled nonchalantly, sat down at the dining table and started typing on the keyboard:

"Give me some time, I'll see if I can find the employer."

"I'm here to help."

Michelle immediately moved her chair, held the computer and went to Mona to help her.

Luo An poured a cup of coffee for them and said with a smile:

"In fact, what Klaus said has provided us with a lot of information."

Lacey looked puzzled. Luo An took a sip of coffee and explained:

“First, the employer’s request was to kidnap Anatoly, not to kill him directly.

Considering that Anatoly was a member of the treasure hunting ship, the real purpose of the employer was probably to ask Anatoly for the exact location of the sunken ship, and then go and salvage the gold themselves."

"That's right!"

Lacey's eyes lit up, and she agreed with Luo An's analysis. Then she frowned and said:
"The question is, which side does this employer belong to?
A gang of thieves or a counterfeit money gang? "

"It's possible that they are both. It's definitely not a treasure hunting team."

Chenier also figured this out. She then realized a problem and said in a serious tone:
"The other party is so anxious to find Anatoly. Could it be that Benson, the last surviving member of the treasure hunting team, is also dead?"

“There is this possibility.”

Luo An rested his chin on his hand and analyzed calmly:

"On the night of the fire, the black-eating-black team suffered heavy losses, especially the counterfeit banknote team, whose equipment, personnel, and counterfeit banknote stocks were all burned up.

During the exchange of fire between the two sides, the counterfeit money team may have also learned about the gold on the shipwreck.

If they find this gold, both the black-eating-black team and the counterfeit money team can recover their losses or even make a fortune. "

“That is to say, if Benson is caught by a gang of black-on-black people, the employer may be a counterfeit money gang.

On the contrary, if Benson is caught by the counterfeit money team, the employer may be a gang of thieves."

Lacey summarized Roan and Chenelle's analysis, and then asked, "Roan, you just said that Klaus's words provided a lot of information. What else?"

"The second information is similar to your summary."

Luo An put down the coffee cup and said quietly:
“Klaus said that he was approached by the hired man when he was browsing underground websites.

Klaus has never done anything like kidnapping, but the employer is still willing to pay him to do it. What does this mean?"

Lacey was stunned for a moment, Chenier's face changed, and she reacted instantly, clapping her hands and saying:

"The hirer has met or knows Klaus in real life!"

"It can even be said that the employer knew Krause very well, knew that he liked money and was short of money, and also knew his experience of buying parts and assembling guns on the website. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the employer to find Krause on the underground website."

Luo An nodded, and continued with Chenier's analysis:
"The people who know Klaus so well are either his former customers who sold guns or flour to him, or his relatives or subordinates."

"No matter which one, the employer is confident that he can subdue Klaus at the critical moment."

Lacey finally reacted, hammered with both hands and said loudly:
"To prevent Klaus from getting information about the gold from the sunken ship from Anatoly and then going it alone or taking advantage of the opportunity to raise the price!"

"The employer is a gang of thieves! It must be them!"

Chenier's face was full of seriousness as she continued to analyze:
“Only Vassell and Vernon from the gang-on-gang team, they not only robbed banks, but they may have also bought weapons from Klaus.

They still have the ability and ruthlessness to take action at the critical moment, kill Klaus and his men, and take Anatoly away!"

"Everyone! I found the employer's information!"

At this moment, Mona suddenly showed excitement, raised her hand and said loudly:

"The other party had just entered this underground website and registered an account not long ago. The first thing he did after registering the account was to contact Klaus."

"it is as expected!"

Lacey was excited and quickly walked to Mona. Chenier followed closely to check the situation. Luo An looked calm and asked:
"Can you find out where the other person is now?"

"The IP address of the other party when he first registered his account was in Atlanta. It was also the same when he was chatting with Klaus... There is no way to confirm it now."

Mona tapped the computer keyboard a few times, pondered for a few seconds and looked up:
"However, Michelle can pretend to be someone else and send a message to the other party. As long as the other party replies and Michelle has a brief conversation with the other party, I can locate the other party."

"very good!"

Roan nodded with satisfaction. Lacey and Chenille were quite excited. Michelle looked up at Roan, wanting to know what words Roan wanted her to send to the other party.

"Pay attention to Klaus' tone of voice and typing habits when communicating with the other party in the past."

Luo An was silent for a few seconds, first reminded Michelle a few words, and then said:

"Tell them that Anatoly has been captured and we are returning to Atlanta.

However, there were some accidents during the arrest process, and several of my men were injured."

Michelle nodded, thought carefully for a few seconds, polished the words, and sent them out according to Klaus's speaking habits.

After the send button was pressed, the room fell silent. Lacey, Chenille and others looked at the computer screen nervously. It was unknown whether the person on the other end had seen the message and had not responded yet.

While waiting, Winslow came over, waved his phone and said:

"The news about the gold has been sent to the Trace Examination Department."

"What did they say?"

"They suspect the sunken ship is the SS Central America."
