Legendary FBI Detective

Taking the report passed over by Reed, Mona and Reesi laughed together:

"Good!"

"Indeed, it's good news!"

Beside them, Luo An took a sip of his coffee, looked up at Reed and asked:

"How was your investigation today, did you find any clues?"

"Of course."

Reed walked back to his desk, handed a folder to Luo An, and said:

"We found that those four college students, Vini, Nickel, Kaianna, and Vinea, not only all come from the New York Alfred University Business School, but are also members of a political organization.

The name of this political organization is 'New Era', and internally it advocates for feminism, opposition to domestic violence, and so forth."

Mona's eyes lit up:

"Wow, it seems that they all are opponents of Councilman Emmanuel, the extreme conservative."

"Not necessarily."

Reesi shook her head, basing her statement on inquiries with friends of the two male students, Vini and Nickel, she learned that these two really joined the organization just to pursue Kaianna and Vinea.

How much they actually supported the organization's slogans, no one could be certain.

Mona frowned at the response, but Luo An nodded.

It was a common scenario; in these federal political organizations, those who shout slogans and truly support them are actually not many.

Most are like Vini and Nickel, joining political groups for other purposes.

More people actually want to utilize these organizations to make money for themselves.

Only a small fraction of idealists, not understanding fully, really believe that shouting slogans and staging protests can achieve their goals and change society.

Getting up and going to the front of the office area, he pulled over a whiteboard and began writing and drawing. A few minutes later, Luo An turned around and introduced to the agents:

"The political organization, Comit, was ignited by a Molotov cocktail half a month ago, and Councilman Emmanuel was burned to death yesterday.

From arson to arson with murder, the same culprit behind these two cases has rapidly escalated in their criminal methods in a short period of time."

"Exactly."

All the agents from Investigation Team Five nodded together, this meant that if the murderer continued to commit crimes, it's highly likely it would still be arson, and the number of deaths might continue to rise.

Throwing the whiteboard marker aside, Luo An asked:

"William, how's the surveillance check around the Brooklyn Government Building? Have you found any trace of the man in the grey suit?"

"I'm sorry, we haven't found him."

William shook his head, his expression looking grim, indicating that the man in the grey suit must have scoped out the area beforehand, completely disappearing after leaving through the back door of the building.

"It's alright."

Luo An's expression remained unchanged, he had been prepared for this.

As Reesi and Reed today successfully discovered that the four college students were members of a political organization, he thought for a moment and turned his gaze to Mona:

"Mona, earlier Comit mentioned that after their political organization was burned, someone claimed responsibility for it. Did you find any information on that person?"

"I found it!"

Mona nodded, showed the information on her computer to Luo An, and said:

"The person's name is Emma Tasia, who was one of the editors at Cody Newspaper, and had written several articles opposing Councilman Emmanuel's political comments.

However, not long ago, she went to jail for drunk driving, and after being released from jail, she left the federation and has been working in a newspaper in Europe recently."

"Left the federation?"

Hearing this, Reed's brows furrowed, and Luo An's expression also darkened slightly.

Beside them, Reesi thought for a moment and asked tilting her head:

"Did Emma Tasia join any other political organization after leaving Cody Newspaper?"

Mona tapped on the keyboard quickly, and after a moment she shook her head:

"Couldn't find any information online."

"Then list out the names of people Emma Tasia has been in contact with after leaving Cody Newspaper, one by one, and follow up with an investigation, how about that?"

Reesi spread her hands and made a suggestion that made the technical agents like William's scalp tingle with fear.

"Also possible."

Luo An bowed his head in thought for a long time before nodding in agreement.

It was now clear that the arsonist in both cases was the same person, and Emma Tasia had also claimed responsibility for the previous case, so it was highly likely that she was connected to the criminal.

However, Emma Tasia was currently in Europe, and they were unable to detain her and bring her back, so they had to investigate through people she had been in contact with.

"No problem!"

Seeing Luo An's gaze turn towards them, technical agents like William, although tingling with apprehension, immediately nodded in acceptance.

Watching the agents start tapping away at their computers, Luo An thought for a moment before adding:

"You could start by investigating those who left the Cody Newspaper with Emma Tasia, they are all radicals, and their likelihood of committing the crime is relatively higher."

"OK!"

The technical agents' eyes lit up upon hearing this, all nodding in agreement; William even shot Luo An a grateful look.

The agents all busied themselves, as Luo An sat back in his chair, leisurely taking a sip of coffee.

Taking the schedule of Emma Tasia's movements after leaving the Cody Newspaper handed to him by Mona, Luo An began to review it at a relaxed pace, while casually spinning in his chair.

After a few minutes, Luo An's leg came to a stop, ceasing to spin.

Because he discovered that Emma Tasia was also a student of Alfred University.

Before leaving the Cody Newspaper, she had been invited by Alfred University to give a speech as a senior student.

Pondering for a moment, Luo An moved his chair next to Reesi.

Reesi, who was looking through the data, was startled:

"What is it?"

"Those two beautiful girls you mentioned before, what are they doing now?"

Hearing this, Reesi's face immediately broke into a rippling smile, then she quickly shook her head, saying:

"Now's the time to focus on the case, we'll talk about it later."

Rolling his eyes in exasperation, Luo An handed the document to Reesi and explained the section he had been circling, concluding with:

"You said before that those two girls are students at Alfred University.

So, I want you to give them a call, we might find some clues from them."

"OK, OK."

Hearing Luo An's words, Reesi's face showed a bit of embarrassment. She apologized to Luo An with her hands clasped together, then quickly took out her phone and sent a message to the two girls.

A few minutes later, Reesi's expression changed slightly, she looked up at Luo An:

"I think we need to meet with them."

——

Half an hour later, in a bar in Queens.

Luo An and Reesi were sitting opposite two distinctive young girls.

The girl on the left was named Vivian, petite in stature but big at heart.

The girl on the right was named Naomi, not as busty, but with longer legs.

Together with faces as pretty as the famous actresses on TV... Luo An glanced at Reesi without a sound, curious about how exactly she had come to know these girls.

He definitely had to make Reesi share her sources later.

Shaking hands with Luo An, Naomi took the photo he handed her and replied:

"We do know Emma Tasia indeed, we were there during her speech.

After her speech, she also sent us some stuff."

Saying this, Naomi patted Vivian, who was sitting beside her, on the arm.

Seeing this, Vivian immediately took out a piece of paper from her pocket and placed it on the table.

Just as Reesi was about to reach for it, Vivian pushed the paper towards Luo An.

Reesi: "..."
