Chapter 614: General Fu, Luo An’s Code Name
In Veranith's office at the FBI's Washington headquarters, Luo An held a document bag in his hand and looked at the pile of documents inside with a puzzled expression:
"Can't sit still?"
"That's right."
Veranith crossed her hands on the desk, looked at Luo An with burning eyes, and said:
"This is Washington, D.C., there are no secrets here.
The reason why Speaker of Congress Mike Monroe stepped down was that his direct contacts were our FBI Director Robert and Mr. Clement.
But the person who made this happen is actually you, the leader of Investigation Team 13, Roan Greenwood. "
Luo An's mouth twitched:
"In other words, I have an extra group of enemies?"
"I can't mention enemies. At most, there is only some conflict of interest."
Veranith shook her head and smiled:
“This is Washington, D.C., where exchange of interests and mutual compromise are the rules of the game. Those who break the rules will only be attacked by a group and will not end well.
In addition, your status is not high, and those at the top will not pay too much attention to you.
In addition, our FBI Director Robert and Mr. Clement are standing in front of you, so you don't have to worry. "
Hearing Veranith's explanation, Luo An's eyes flashed with an imperceptible light. The light quickly disappeared. Luo An's expression remained the same, showing no abnormality at all, and then asked:
"Then what happened to these documents?"
Verani thought for a while and said:
"In that country in the east, there is a word called "lucky general". Have you heard of it?"
Luo An was stunned for a moment and thought carefully for a few seconds before he figured out what Veranith meant and asked:
"Sir, are you talking about "Fujiang"?"
"Yes, that's the word."
Veranith nodded, glanced at Luo An appreciatively, and explained with a smile:
“The impact of Congress Speaker Mike Monroe’s incident is actually far greater than you think, Roan.
Not only have the two parties in the parliament been interrupted in many plans and plans, but this incident will also have a lot of impact on the next presidential election.
But again, those who are really at the top will not care too much about you, because in their eyes, you just stumbled upon this case by accident.
The people who really made a big deal out of this matter were Director Robert and Mr. Clement, and they would attract most of the attention.
But your case has attracted the attention of other federal departments at the same level as our FBI. "
From the Special Investigation Team in Los Angeles to Investigation Team 13 at the Washington headquarters, under the leadership of Luo An, his team's crime detection rate has always been maintained at 100%.
Earlier, the investigation rate of No. 5 Investigation Team was not 100%, only maintained between 45% and 52%.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not Luo An's problem, because he has not been working in the No. 5 Investigation Team for a long time.
Those in the federal government who stand at the highest level have national affairs, party interests and self-interest in their minds and will not focus most of their energy on Luo An.
Departments such as the Federal Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Federal National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), and the Federal Office of National Security Intelligence (OICI) are different. They are all departments that actually do things.
As long as it is a department that actually does things, it will encounter some difficult problems that require professionals to solve.
After listening to Veranith's explanation, Luo An suddenly realized, and then showed a strange look on his face:
"So, I am what they consider a "professional" in these departments."
"That's right."
Veranith nodded, then raised her hands to rest on her chin, looked at Luo An with sparkling eyes, and said with a smile:
"With a 100% case detection rate, you are definitely a professional among professionals."
Not long after the Congress announced the re-election of the speaker a few days ago, Veranith received a call from a woman.
The woman is none other than the Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security, Dorothy Bush (Chapter 221).
The purpose of her call was to ask Veranith to borrow Luo An for a period of time so that Luo An could help her handle a case.
Because Dorothy Bush's private life was somewhat chaotic, coupled with her arrogant and somewhat disdainful personality, the relationship between Veranith and her was quite average, or even very bad. They rarely called each other in the past.
Upon hearing Dorothy Bush's request, Veranith rejected the request without hesitation and let out a sigh of relief.
Dorothy Bush was so angry that her teeth were itching, but there was nothing she could do because Luo An belonged to Veranith and had no intention of changing her family.
Thinking of this incident, Veranith's smile grew stronger and she said from the bottom of her heart:
"Coupled with the cases you have solved in the past, Luo An, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a "lucky general"."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Luo An smiled, and after figuring out the whole story, he breathed a sigh of relief, then shook the document bag in his hand and asked:
"What to do with these documents?"
"Just take it."
Veranis typed on the keyboard a few times, looked at the computer screen and said:
"These departments offer you a lot of salary, which adds up to about US$75,000 per month. If you don't take it, it will be wasted."
"But what if they ask me to perform some kind of mission?"
Luo An was not distracted by money, but instead focused on practical issues:
"Once I receive my salary and become a "secret agent" of these departments, then I have no reason to refuse if they ask me to perform tasks."
"You really have no reason to refuse, but I do, Mr. Clement does, and even Director Robert does."
Veranith stopped typing on the keyboard, turned to look at Luo An, and said with a smile:
"First, you are from our FBI, and the credentials of these departments are only your second and third level identities. All your work content is determined by our FBI.
Second, it is impossible for these departments to ask you to perform certain classified tasks.
For the same reason, you are from the FBI, and they will never hand over their confidential files to an "outsider."
The reason why they give you these documents is that they intend to get closer to you, so that it will be easier for both parties to communicate when they ask you for help in the future.
On the other hand, these departments hope that you will handle certain cases in the future. If it is not suitable for the FBI to intervene but is suitable for some of their departments to handle, you can call them first and notify them to handle it.
Everyone is doing something, there is competition everywhere, and merit is the most important. "
"OK, I understand."
Luo An nodded, and a flash of understanding flashed through his mind. Some people were extremely greedy for the case of the Speaker of the National Assembly, so they set their sights on him.
These people have no intention of competing with the FBI for meat, but it would be nice to have some soup in the future.
After a brief discussion with Veranith, Luo An stood up with the document bag in hand and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Veranith suddenly slapped her head and said:
"By the way, there are many departments that will give you certificates this time, and they are all secret agents. It is inappropriate to call them by name directly. You need a code name."
"Code name?"
Luo An's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile:
"Like 007 in the movie?"
The first 007 agent movie was released in 1962, and many movies were released before 2006. Many people in the Federation have watched this series of movies.
"Yes, that's it."
Veranith nodded, Luo An frowned slightly, and really couldn't think of it for a moment.
Seeing Luo An hesitate for a long time, Veranith was silent for a few seconds and suggested:
"A few codenames come to mind, how about 'Alligator', 'Tiger Cat', or 'Pangolin'?"
Luo An: "..."
