Chapter 821: Killing Many Birds with One Arrow
Pushing Lacey away who was trying to crawl towards him, Luo An turned to look at Mona:
"What's the matter? Just say it."
"It's about this balloon case."
Hearing Mona talking about business, Lacey immediately stopped what she was doing, and the others also looked serious. Mona continued:
"Several days have passed, and there is still no news from Deputy Team Leader Paul. Are we really going to continue waiting and do nothing?"
Winslow, Chenier, Lacey and Michelle were also full of doubts.
In the past, no matter what case, the detectives of the special investigation team had a clear division of labor. Mona and Michelle would investigate the information online, Lacey and Chenier would visit and investigate offline, and Winslow would go to support and help according to the situation.
In the current balloon case, since the busy days in the early stage, the truth was investigated and the murderer You Endufan was successfully captured and brought back to the special investigation team, the subsequent things seemed to be handed over to Deputy Team Leader Paul by Luo An, and they just waited for news every day.
"I was just going to talk about this."
Luo An smiled, walked into the team leader's office, took out several folders and distributed them to everyone, and said:
"Everyone, the balloon case itself is just a small case, but there is a lot behind it."
When he first took over the balloon case, Trick Kennedy had found Luo An and said that some departments in the FBI Washington headquarters began to quietly say some unpleasant things behind the scenes because of the increase in funding for the case handling department this year.
Some media in Washington, DC, learned about this and discussed it. Many people praised it, but some people believed that the increase in funding for the case handling department was a manifestation of the FBI's incompetence.
They believed that truly excellent case handling talents did not need so much funding to investigate the truth of the case.
Increased funding means that the level of case investigators is not good, and some people even intend to take this opportunity to manipulate and waste taxpayers' money.
Trick Kennedy therefore hopes that Luo An can solve a big case and dispel those rumors.
Luo An was quite speechless about this. Big cases are not something he can have just by saying so, and he cannot guarantee that he can solve the case 100% every time.
When the truth of the balloon case was found out, Luo An did not think too much, after all, it was just a small case of caesarean section murder.
After meeting Deputy Team Leader Paul, an idea suddenly flashed through Luo An's mind, and he found that this case had great potential.
When Mona and Chenier were checking the folder, Luo An introduced:
"According to the information obtained from Deputy Team Leader Paul, there are three gangs selling flour in the underground world in the southern Washington area.
The three gangs are scheming against each other and have hatred for each other. They all want to kill each other and swallow up the territory of each other's forces.
The leader of one of the gangs happens to be the boss of this Youn reading dealer, White Cobra-Omarian."
After reading the relevant information of the three gangs in the file, Lacey looked up with some doubts:
"So, Luo An, what do you mean?"
Luo An grinned, revealing his white teeth, and smiled:
"Take this opportunity to wipe out the three gangs!"
Luo An's plan is not complicated. The first step is to investigate the bases of the three gangs, the storage location of flour, the whereabouts of the three bosses, and the arrangements of their followers.
Deputy Team Leader Paul is the most suitable person to hand this matter over to. He is experienced and has a wide network of contacts.
The agents of the special investigation team are not very familiar with the underground world, and as time goes by, those who are interested have the opportunity to get their appearance information. Asking them to investigate may alert the enemy.
After getting the whereabouts of White Cobra Omarion, the agents of the special investigation team will arrest and detain him in a targeted manner, but this information will be "accidentally leaked".
On the other hand, the experienced Deputy Team Leader Paul will use some means to persuade the bosses of the other two gangs in advance to take this opportunity to immediately annex White Cobra Omarion's territory. After all, if they don't grab it, it will be taken away by another person.
After the bosses of the two sides receive the "accidentally leaked" news and lead the team to start grabbing the territory, Luo An, Deputy Team Leader Paul and others will lead the team to raid the headquarters and bases of the two gangs and take away all their flour stocks.
As for the bosses of the two gangs themselves, it is best to capture them alive, but if they cannot be captured alive, they can be shot directly.
The life and death of the two is not important, what is important is the flour inventory of their three gangs. Deputy Team Leader Paul calculated through some channels that the total amount of flour of the three gangs can definitely be measured in tons.
When the flour is laid out on the spot, it will definitely be very visually impactful.
Deputy Team Leader Paul's field work will definitely not continue after this battle, but the credit is just enough to be promoted to an office.
Some departments within the FBI will not be able to continue to discuss behind the scenes, and the external media will also praise it.
Luo An killed many birds with one stone. Not only did he complete the task assigned by Chief Trick Kennedy and help Deputy Team Leader Paul get promoted, but the bonuses and income of the subsequent special investigation team agents will also be more than just solving a caesarean murder case.
Luo An finished his briefing and concluded in a deep voice:
"In the next period of time, the main task of our special investigation team is to show that everything is normal to the outside world, do what we should do, and wait for the news from Deputy Team Leader Paul."
Considering that the agents at the FBI headquarters could not guarantee that everything would be fine, the action plan was top secret before this, and only Luo An and Deputy Team Leader Paul knew about it.
"Understood!"
"No problem!"
Mona and Michelle looked at Luo An with burning eyes and agreed in unison.
Winslow and Chenier's eyes sparkled. They liked this kind of killing the enemy with one strike and directly destroying the criminal's action plan with sharp methods.
Lacey received the order with the loudest voice and the most excited expression. She mainly heard what Luo An said at the end: the bonus will be even greater after the case is completed!
After discussing in low voices for a moment, the agents of the special investigation team tacitly agreed to return to their previous appearance and do what they should do:
Michelle handled the written materials, Mona and Chenelle assisted, Winslow and Lacey ordered meals for everyone, and Roan was responsible for eating and fishing.
One day passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing happened the next day. It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that Luo An's cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button and deputy team leader Paul's voice rang inside.
After a brief discussion, Deputy Team Leader Paul quickly hung up the phone. Luo An slammed the door and left the team leader's office, pushed the door and walked into the office area. He clapped his hands to attract the attention of the agents and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, get ready for action!"
With the order, all the agents who had been prepared for a long time stood up and quickly but methodically organized their equipment. Luo An also called the SWAT team:
"This is the Special Investigation Team, I am Roan Greenwood."
At 8:30 that night, on a street in southern Washington, D.C., in a dark area that was not illuminated by street lights, Winslow and Chenelle led a SWAT team to ambush.
In the distance, there are two different rooms, one in the east and one in the west. One has a sinister face and a group of men in jackets standing around it. The other is wearing glasses and has a gloomy face.
They held their mobile phones and waited for the information to arrive. They believed that they would be the final winners tonight.
Farther away, in a SWAT personnel carrier, Mona and Michelle were typing on the keyboard quickly. Luo An looked at the dark night sky outside, and a question flashed in his mind:
"What level of protected animal is the oriole?"
Before Luo An could think of the answer, Mona's voice suddenly sounded:
"Winslow, the target person has entered the attack area!"
"start to act!"
