Legendary FBI Detective

Seeing Vivian's movement, Reesi twitched the corner of her mouth and then retracted her hand as if nothing had happened.

Taking the paper handed over by the other party, Luo An slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said:

"Thank you."

Vivian smiled without saying a word, and Naomi, who was beside her, directly hugged her shoulders and said to Luo An:

"If you really want to express your gratitude, how about treating me and Vivian to a drink after work?"

Hearing this, Reesi's eyelids twitched.

She had been chasing Naomi for several days, but Naomi had not shown much interest in her, and Vivian had been even less attentive to her.

Now, upon seeing Luo An, not only did Vivian show interest in him, but Naomi even suggested what might be a date invitation.

And it was with both of them!

Reesi felt a twinge in her teeth and then picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

Seeing the expression on Reesi's face, Luo An's face remained unchanged, but he was already laughing inside.

Finally, Reesi got to experience what it was like when they used to go picking up girls together.

Lowering his head to look at the paper, he found a string of letters: [New York Liberty Outpost]

Luo An looked puzzled:

"What does that mean?"

"That's the name of an organization mentioned by Emma Tasia after a speech when she was interviewed by a few of our classmates."

Naomi put Luo An's contact information in Vivian's pocket and explained:

"At that time, Emma Tasia briefly introduced the organization and called on students studying political science to join it, saying they could fulfill their political ambitions and ideals there."

"OK."

Luo An sent the name of the organization to Mona and continued to ask a few more questions until Naomi could no longer provide more information. After expressing their thanks, Luo An and Reesi got up and left the place.

"Remember to call us back!"

At the bar entrance, Naomi, holding Vivian, waved continuously with a smile at the slowly departing SUV.

Inside the slowly moving SUV, Luo An was driving while Reesi sat in the passenger seat and called Mona, asking:

"How did it go, did you find out the specifics about this [New York Liberty Outpost] organization?"

"Of course I did!"

Mona on the phone chuckled, indicating it was a trivial task for her, then explained:

"This so-called [New York Liberty Outpost], is a political organization in New York that supports the Republican Party.

Their political slogans are more radical, not only opposing homosexuality, opposing abortion, opposing the abolition of capital punishment, and opposing gun bans.

Moreover, the organization has proposed that the entire population should bear arms, and every federal citizen should be allowed to carry firearms 24 hours a day, claiming it would reduce crime rates in New York."

"..." x2

After listening to Mona's introduction, Luo An and Reesi were speechless and rolled their eyes in unison.

Reesi rolled her eyes because the organization opposed homosexuality, which annoyed her as a lesbian.

And Luo An rolled his eyes because the organization advocated for everyone to carry guns with the aim to reduce crime rates.

However, thinking about how universal gun ownership caused the dark forest effect, ultimately leading to Texas having the lowest crime rate in the federation...

Luo An scratched his head, what a classic federal move.

After a pause, he continued to ask:

"Is this political organization also part of the Republican camp? Do they have any grudge against Councilman Emmanuel Bain?"

"Indeed, there is."

Mona tapped on her keyboard for a while and then replied:

"According to the data, this organization includes a large number of extremists with criminal records.

They were very supportive of Councilman Emmanuel when he first obtained a seat in the New York City Council, but it didn't take long before they started slandering him on some forums.

They felt that the issues raised by Councilman Emmanuel, and his performance, were too different from before and too weak.

Some recent gun control bills passed by the New York City Council disappointed them as they felt Councilman Emmanuel had let them down."

Luo An and Reesi showed a hint of understanding in their eyes; the most despised thing in federal culture is a traitor.

Luo An slowly stopped the car by the roadside and continued asking:

"Who is the leader of this political organization?"

"It's a conservative activist named Ruben Paul. He is a distant uncle of Emma Tasia."

There was a strange tone in Mona's voice on the phone, and then she continued:

"Three days before Councilman Emmanuel was killed, he posted a video with the following content:

We should fight for the freedom that God has bestowed upon us. Faith and weapons are indispensable to us and they form an unalienable right.

Those who try to exploit our rights are the enemies of the people, and the enemies of the people must be eliminated."

"Wow, that's pretty strong."

Reesi patted her arm and then turned her head to look at Luo An.

Without mincing words, Luo An started the SUV again and directly asked:

"Where is this Ruben Paul now?"

"Uh... he's in the hospital."

"?"

——

In a hospital in Queens, Ruben Paul, with bandages wrapped around his chest and a pale face, was lying on the hospital bed.

According to the NYPD, five days ago, at the entrance of a supermarket, Ruben Paul was shot in a hit, with no surveillance in place and the NYPD has not yet found the shooter.

Upon learning Luo An and Reesi's purpose, Ruben nodded from the hospital bed:

"Yes, I heard about the case where Councilman Emmanuel was burned to death; it's not surprising at all."

Reesi paused, "What do you mean? Did you know Councilman Emmanuel would be attacked?"

"No, I was only stating a possibility."

Ruben shook his head:

"Councilman Emmanuel deceived his own voters, and the patience of those patriots is limited."

Next to him, Luo An tossed his notebook aside and asked directly:

"So, it was you who incited the supporters within the organization to eliminate Councilman Emmanuel, right?"

"No, Mr. Agent."

Ruben shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he was not involved in this, that his words were merely rhetorical, and Luo An must not falsely accuse him, then he added:

"Although I tend toward extremism, I oppose violence, especially abhor murder because it only backfires.

So, regardless of what you think, I'm not stupid, I would never engage in murder."

Hearing this, Reesi furrowed her eyebrows while Luo An, his expression unchanged, took out the information Mona had found and asked:

"Since last year, people in your organization have often been arrested for violating the law, and each time it was you who arranged their bail."

"I'm sorry, that is—"

Ruben was about to launch into a long speech, but Luo An, not wanting to waste words, directly said:

"According to federal law, if it was your supporter who executed this, then you are implicated in inciting the crime.

Believe me, if that's the case, I can definitely send you to jail."

"…cough cough cough."

Hearing this, Ruben started coughing violently, and after a few seconds of silence, he said:

"I didn't do this, but there's a guy named Connor Trunner in the organization, a college student, who has repeatedly said he wishes to kill Emmanuel, the 'traitor'.

Of course, I have nothing to do with him."

Glancing at Ruben, Luo An and Reesi immediately turned and left the hospital room.

In the hallway, Luo An pressed the contact:

"How about it, Mona, did you hear the name?"

"I did."

Over the phone came a crackling sound, then Mona's tone turned somewhat serious:

"This Connor Trunner is highly suspect."
