Chapter 324 Special Case Handling Funds

 FBI Los Angeles Division, Office of the Team Leader.

 “Good morning, sir.”

"sit down."

Roan sat on the chair, looked at Potente-Bourne and asked with a smile:

“Sir, what’s the mission for calling me here?”

 “I don’t have a mission, I just have something I want to talk to you about.”

 Potente-Bourne leaned back tactically, crossed his legs, crossed his hands and said:

“Chief Owen, your special investigation team did a very good job in this case. The director praised you a lot.”

 “We would also like to thank our commander for helping us.”

Roan chuckled, and a smile appeared on Potente-Born's face after saying a few words.

 After a few brief words, Potente-Byrne finally got down to business and handed a folder on the table to Roan.

Roan took the folder and opened it to check the contents. Potente-Byrne slowly explained:

“Luo An, the director is very satisfied with the fact that your special investigation team did not cause too many casualties or cause too much impact during the handling of the case.”

 The contents of the folder were notices of bonuses issued by four members of their special investigation team, among whom Luo An continued to double his bonus.

In addition, there was a second piece of paper. Luo An opened it and saw that their special investigation team had received a "special case handling fund" of US$400,000.

Luo An’s eyes moved slightly, he closed the folder and said with a smile:

“Thank you, director, thank you, sir. This is what we should do.”

 The content of the document did not specify the specific use of this special fund. Coupled with Potente-Bourne's words, Luo An understood the true meaning of the money after a moment's thought: hush money.

From the beginning, in order to protect himself and Mona, Luo An never made this case particularly big. Except for the Special Investigation and Supervision Department, there were not many other people who knew about it.

Only some senior officials of the FBI's Los Angeles branch knew about it. Most of the lower-level agents only knew about the murder of Team Leader Irving and did not know any subsequent details.

 Other law enforcement departments outside the FBI, such as the LAPD, NSA Los Angeles Division, etc., as well as the various media in Los Angeles who follow the wind and rain, do not know the specific details of this case.

The murder of Team Leader Irving is essentially a scandal within the FBI. Of course, the top officials of the FBI's Los Angeles branch don't want it to be known to the whole city.

They were very satisfied with the actions of the special investigation team. The senior management must praise the special investigation team, but direct praise always has to be justified, so there was this "special case handling fund" on the surface, but in fact it was US$400,000 in the form of hush money + bonus. funds.

 “You’re welcome, you deserve this.”

Seeing Luo An's eyes and smile, Potente-Byrne knew that Luo An already knew the true meaning of the money. He nodded with satisfaction and smiled slightly, picked up the coffee and began to shift the conversation to other things.

The two continued to chat for a while, and Luo An turned around and left.

Looking at the time, he didn't rush back to the special investigation team. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and called Veranith.

Since arriving in Los Angeles, Luo An has called Veranith almost every three to four days to communicate with her.

After handling the bank robbery case and the murder of the teenager, Luo An did not forget to briefly describe the general situation of the case to Veranith, and by the way, he also paid attention to Veranith.

Even though Roan and Verenis are located at the east and west ends of the federal territory, they are not unfamiliar, but rather familiar.

 During this period, Luo An also asked about the current status of Investigation Team No. 5.

After Roan took Lacey and Mona away, Augustus, who had no one to use, had to go to the training department to select people. Ryder took the knowledge he learned from Roan and reluctantly broke through with the newcomers. several cases.

Although it took a little longer to handle the case and Ryder suffered a few minor injuries, at least the case was solved and the suspect was caught. The case detection rate of Investigation Team 5 after leaving Luo An has not dropped off a cliff.

 So Augustus has already begun research to promote Ryder to the deputy leader of Investigation Team No. 5.

After learning about this incident, Luo An immediately called Ryder. While caring about his physical condition, he also expressed congratulations to him and made an appointment to come to Los Angeles to entertain him and Yvonne in the future. thing.

However, Ryder still planned to take Yvonne out to play alone and leave his son at home.

 At 5:30 pm that day, the office area of ​​the special investigation team. Michelle and Lacey returned here after a busy day and sat back on their chairs. Lacey stretched her waist vigorously:

 “Finally finished the work we have to do with the Supervision Department!”

  The Supervision Department is responsible for most of the subsequent court sessions, case reports, evidence sorting and other work, while the special investigation team is only responsible for a small part, which is a very light task.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Mona brought the two of them a cup of coffee. She was mainly responsible for sorting out clues these days, and her work was much easier than Lacey and Michelle.

"Thanks."

Michelle took the coffee and said thank you, while Lacey hugged Mona’s arm, shook her and asked:

"Mona, does the three-day vacation that Luo An promised us still count? We are exhausted these days!"

Mona spread her hands and she didn’t know.

 “Of course it counts!”

At this moment, Luo An opened the door of the team leader's office and walked out, shaking the folder in his hand:

“Today is Tuesday, starting from tomorrow, we will have three days off from Wednesday to Friday! We will also be closed on Saturday and Sunday as normal!”

 “Ouch!”

Hearing this, Lacey immediately jumped up with energy, Mona smiled and clapped, and Michelle also looked at Luo An with crooked eyes.

 “Sit tight, sit tight.”

Grabbed Lacey by the shoulders and pushed her back to the chair. Luo An handed the folders in his hands to them respectively:

“Here’s the $2,000 reward for each of you if this case is resolved.”

Hearing this, Michelle immediately took the folder with bright eyes:

"Thanks."

 Lacey and Mona didn’t say anything. They had already gathered together to study new clothing in Los Angeles.

"And one more thing."

Luo An raised the fourth folder in his hand, successfully attracting the attention of Mona and Lacey.

“This is the special case-handling fund of our special investigation team.”

Luo An briefly explained the source and situation of the funds, and then the three of them received US$80,000 each, and Luo An kept US$160,000.

 After receiving the money, Mona and Lacey's previous work fatigue disappeared instantly. Not only did they study newly launched women's clothing, they even began to study new cosmetics on the market.

Michelle was shocked when she received the money. She had worked at the Washington headquarters for so long and had not saved so much money.

Recalling the jealous face of a former colleague when he heard that he was going to be transferred to work for Roan Greenwood, Michelle looked at the money in her hand with a sudden realization:

 “No wonder…”

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Michelle's dull face, Luo An patted her shoulder:

 “Are you okay?”

"fine."

 Michelle shook her head, and then said in a very sincere tone:

 “Thank you very much, Deputy Team Leader Luo An.”

"You're welcome. You have contributed a lot to this case, and you deserve it."

Luo An smiled and waved his hand, and when Lacey and Mona weren't paying attention, he took the snacks on their table and returned to the team leader's office.

 Normally, Luo An didn't like to stay in the empty team leader's office, but during this time he had some things that needed to be done here.
