Chapter 196 Sudden fire

  Hearing Augustus' shout, Roan, whose buttocks were still warm, slowly left the chair and straightened up.

  Because Augustus didn't shout in front of the office area with a folder this time, Roan didn't panic at all, indicating that this wasn't a new case.

   Sure enough, when he entered the team leader's office, Augustus handed him several thick folders.

   It is not a notice or an order, but just the completed files and reports of the previous cases.

  Augus felt that Luo An was idle because he was idle, so why not ask him to read the report and check if there are any mistakes in it.

   If anything, point it out and someone will fix it afterward.

  —

  The time to go to work and fish is certainly happy, but it is always too little and goes by too fast.

  Roan felt like he just turned around on the chair a few times, and the date on the calendar next to him changed from Wednesday to the last working day of the week.

Friday afternoon.

   Watching the sun run from east to west again, and it was almost time to get off work today, Roan sat on a chair and silently checked the system page in front of him.

In the light blue system warehouse column, there are [Physical Potion x 2] [Strength Potion x 2] [Detox Potion x 2] [Hemostatic Potion x 4] [Feather Fall Potion x 1] [Weakness Potion x 1] [ Scuba Potion x 1] [Fire Resistance Potion x 1] [Analgesic Potion x 1]

   Not only that, on Thursday night, because Roan didn't do anything during the day, the system gave him a [Pass] evaluation, and then the treasure box opened a $50 and a $100.

  Looking at Franklin in his hand, Roan showed a smile on his face.

  It seems that his previous guess was correct, the system treasure chest will give out a few dollars every half a month.

   Just as Roan was sitting on a chair and immersed in his own world, Lacey, who had finished the work at hand, suddenly came over.

   After taking the coffee from Lacey, Roan was full of doubts:

"What's wrong?"

   "I need your help with something."

   Touching Roan with a coffee cup, Lacey's eyes glowed and she whispered:

   "How about coming with me to a bar in Manhattan after get off work?"

   Lacey recently met two beautiful girls who were in college in NYC at that bar, but haven't taken it yet.

   Luo An suddenly became interested:

   "So, you want me to be your wingman?"

   "No."

  Lacey shook her head, she had figured out the interests of the two girls, one of them didn't mind playing games with the same sex, and the other was very resistant to it.

   "The girl named Vivienne, who only likes handsome guys, I'll leave it to you. I believe your face can definitely conquer her."

   Lacey came to Roan's side, rubbed her hands together, and said in a low voice:

   "Leave the other one to me, one for each of us, OK?"

"Forehead…"

  Luan frowned. Lacey is a seasoned veteran, and there are not many girls who can make her miss her so much.

  So is the other party's figure too attractive, or his face too pretty?

   "Okay, please talk!"

  Roan didn't answer. Lacey sat on the chair and scratched her head, which made her anxious.

  I want to see the photo first.

   Thinking of Lacey's deed of not talking about martial arts earlier, Roan was going to ask her to show the photo of the other party first, and then decide whether to agree or not.

   Before he could speak, Augustus suddenly pushed open the door of the office area.

  Seeing the folder in Augustus's hand and the gloomy look on Dahei's face, Roan and Lacey's hearts skipped a beat.

   "Everyone! A new case!"

  Hearing what Augustus said, and looking at the clock at the front of the office area, it was only ten minutes before getting off work. Roan suddenly raised his hand and covered his forehead speechlessly.

  The eager expression on Lacey's face also instantly collapsed.

   "Just 20 minutes ago, a fire broke out in the Brooklyn government building!"

   Without a chance to see the various expressions on everyone’s faces, Augustus said loudly with a serious face:

  “Although the fire was extinguished by FDNY (Fire Brigade of New York), it still killed a congressman and several students from Alfred University in New York!”

   Knowing that so many people died in the fire, the agents of the No. 5 investigation team immediately became serious.

  Passing the folder to William, Augustus continued:

   "Because the deceased had a congressman, the NYPD called us urgently, and they needed the help of the FBI."

  Roan got up and stood up:

   "Lacey and I will go to the scene to check the situation now."

   "Good."

  Augus nodded:

   "Pay attention to safety, don't lose contact... Oh, by the way, today is a temporary overtime."

  Hearing the words behind Augustus, Roan smiled slightly, which means that there will be overtime pay afterwards.

   Pulling Lacey, who hadn't reacted yet, into the equipment warehouse, the two left the No. 5 investigation team immediately after a while.

  The SUV whose front was damaged hadn’t been repaired yet, and Luo An drove another SUV of the No. 5 investigation team this time.

   On the co-pilot, Lacey saw the SUV under her body speeding through the traffic on the road, silently fastened her seat belt while swallowing, and said:

   "Roan, can you slow down a bit? This is the only car left in our No. 5 investigation team!"

  If the car is damaged again, they will probably have to borrow a car from other investigation teams to investigate the case next.

   "Trust my skills, Lacey."

  Roan smiled slightly, and stepped on the accelerator silently.

   Lacey snorted softly, then suddenly thought of something, took out her phone from her pocket and started typing.

  Turning the steering wheel to overtake a car, Roan turned his head and took a look, then said with a faint smile:

   "Sending messages to those two girls? Make an appointment to meet again at another time?"

   "No."

   Lacey's eyes flickered with worry, she shook her head and said:

   "Remember when I said those two girls were college students?

  The university they went to was Alfred University. "

   "What?"

  Roan was a little surprised, and then hurriedly asked:

   "Are they in government buildings?"

"No."

   Seeing the newly received text message in the phone, Lacey let out a long breath, turned her head and smiled and said:

   "The two of them were busy working part-time in bars to make money, so they were lucky not to encounter this fire."

   “God always favors those who work hard.”

  Roan casually said a word of chicken soup that he didn't know where he heard it, and then stepped on the accelerator again to overtake a car.

   Soon, the two arrived at the government building in Brooklyn.

  At this time, the square in front of the government building was crowded with people, not only the families of the victims, passers-by who joined in the fun, a large number of reporters reporting the news live, but also the NYPD who maintained order on the scene.

  Getting off the SUV, glanced at the burnt black government building not far away, Roan and Lacey walked quickly into the cordon:

   "Hello, Mr. Detective, I am Agent Roan from the FBI."

   "Just call me Bailey."

  Seeing the golden badge in Roan's hand, a NYPD detective came up immediately. After shaking hands, Detective Bailey introduced directly:

   "A congressman and four college students died at the scene, and more than 40 people were injured due to smoke inhalation. The wounded have been sent to the hospital for treatment."

  Following Detective Bailey into the government building, Roan looked around and asked:

   "Are there any witnesses to the fire?"

   "I don't know, we are still looking."

  The three walked quickly into the building. Bailey led Roan and Lacey to the door of a scorched room, and pointed inside, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.
