Chapter 340: Conversation in the supervisor’s office, chat in the investigation team’s office area

 FBI Los Angeles branch building, office of the team leader.

 Taken the folder handed over by Potente Byrne, inside was a notification order.

 It requires Luo An to arrive at the FBI headquarters in Washington on Monday half a month later to accept the headquarters' evaluation and inspection.

Roan's eyes moved slightly, Potente-Bourn crossed his legs and asked quietly:

“Luo An, do you still remember the reason why the Washington Headquarters established ten of your special investigation teams in major cities across the federation?”

"certainly."

Luo An closed the folder and nodded.

 In 2005, the FBI's internal structure of front-line case investigators was still somewhat complex and redundant. Cooperation with other law enforcement agencies was not very smooth, and incidents of holding each other back often occurred.

The ten special investigation teams organized by Luo An and others are essentially a pilot plan developed by the Washington headquarters.

The group at the Washington headquarters wanted to use the specific performance of these ten special investigation teams to study whether the streamlining plan can proceed smoothly and where help and improvement are needed.

After recalling these things in his mind, Luo An's mouth twitched. He seemed to have overlooked some small issues.

 Under his leadership, the special investigation team successfully solved several cases of various sizes, which gave the special investigation team and himself a good reputation.

 But the cooperation between their special investigation unit and other federal law enforcement agencies, except for the LAPD, others seem to...

not many.

Most of the time, Luo An asked Mona to go directly to those departments to find information, and the number of communications with those departments was very few.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Luo An's face, Potente-Byrne was also speechless and didn't know what to say.

Roan had politely rejected Potente-Bourne's recruitment before. Potente-Bourn had not taken any action to suppress Luan, or made some small moves to create obstacles for Luan and his special investigation team.

 On the one hand, it was because of the existence of Veranith, and on the other hand, Potente-Born was sure that Roan was a very good talent and he admired Roan very much.

In the previous cases, Luo An's performance, the FBI Los Angeles Branch's senior officials all praised the deputy team leader of the special investigation team, Luo An Greenwood was extraordinary, his brains, and brave.

Moreover, his words and deeds make the people above and below him comfortable, and he understands the operating rules of politics very well.

 From every aspect, Roan Greenwood is excellent.

 There are two fundamental reasons for the establishment of the special investigation team.

 In terms of handling cases, Luo An is very good and undisputed.

 In terms of cooperation and exchanges with other federal law enforcement agencies…

The group of people at the Washington headquarters are used to sitting in offices, and when problems arise, it is their traditional craft for superiors to blame subordinates.

If Luo An wants to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Washington to become a regular official and become the leader of the special investigation team, I'm afraid it won't be easy.

“There are still two weeks until we go to Washington.”

Potente-Bourne put down his legs, crossed his hands and looked at Luo An, and said seriously:

“During this period, the special investigation team will handle more suitable cases.”

 “Okay, thank you, sir.”

Roan understood what Potente-Byrne meant and nodded with a smile.

Then he suddenly thought of something, pointed at the folder he had just brought to Potente-Byrne, and said with a smile:

“Sir, I suddenly remembered that our special investigation team has some other information about this website where criminals gather.

 While the detectives from other departments handle this case, let us help them solve the problem simply. "

There is an opportunity in front of me to cooperate with other federal law enforcement agencies. I can't hand it over in vain, let alone waste it.

Seeing the difference in Luo An's attitude towards criminal websites, Potente-Bourne had a lot of black marks on his head, but he didn't say much and nodded in agreement.

 Leaving the team leader's office, Luo An looked at the black folder in his hand, thought for a moment, took out his cell phone, and decided to call his long-legged patron in the distance.

　　On the one hand, I finished another case and chatted with Veranith to connect with her.

On the other hand, they are seeking off-site assistance to see if Veranith can get herself a copy of the situation and information of the other nine special investigation teams. Since the reason why Washington called them this time is for judgment and inspection, Luo An and the other nine heads of the special investigation team must be rivals, and may even compete with each other.

In this case, it is necessary to first find out the details of the opponent.

Know yourself and your enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle. This is the wisdom of thousands of years.

 The call was picked up quickly:

 “This is Verenith.”

 “Good afternoon, sir, I’m Luo An.”

Luo An chuckled, exchanged a few simple greetings, and began to describe his experiences during this period.

　　——

 On the other side, the special investigation team, office area.

The preliminary arrest work of [Hollywood Rich Man Shot Case] ​​has been solved, and the next step is to handle the later case procedures and other aspects.

Mona has two folders, Lacey has two folders, and Michelle has twelve folders. The three women are currently sitting at their desks busy.

 Mona and Lacey’s work was not particularly urgent. They poured some coffee for Michelle and got some snacks. The three women chatted while doing the work.

Mona picked up a piece of potato chips and stuffed it into her mouth:

“Lessie, how is your beautiful landlady doing now?”

　　In the previous case of teenage death, Lacey’s beautiful landlady was at a loss when she learned about her sister. Some Hollywood film companies stopped sending her interview notices.

 “She took a break from Hollywood and went home to rest.”

 Lacie spread her hands and sighed:

“I will take care of the house for the time being, and I will live in such a big house alone...but I won’t go back to live there very often.”

Mona has a deep understanding of Lacey's living habits, and Michelle, who has not long joined the special investigation team, has also heard about it.

After typing a line of text, Michelle shook her hands, picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, tilted her head and asked:

“Mona, has Roan ever had a situation where we would take a vacation after this case is over?”

 “I never said that.”

Mona shook her head and asked with a smile:

“What, you want to spend a few days at home reading again?”

 “Yes.”

  Michelle was very emotional when thinking about her experience during this period after joining the special investigation team.

While she was grateful and admired Roan Greenwood as the deputy team leader, Michelle prayed ten thousand times in her heart that the top management should never parachute a team leader over. It would be best if Luo An was directly promoted to the team leader.

The three women then chatted about the case they were dealing with, and then the topic became more and more crooked for some reason. Finally, they started talking about other investigative teams and the LAPD, and the embarrassing and strange things they encountered while handling the case.

At this moment, Luo An came back and saw three laughing women leaning back and forth, and asked in confusion:

"What are you talking about?"

 “A somewhat bizarre case.”

Hearing this, Lacey smiled and explained:

“Some time ago, the LAPD caught a kidnapper who kidnapped 19 people.

 But the kidnapper neither harmed these people nor threatened them for money. Instead, he forced them to play Monopoly with him for 48 hours. "

　　…six.”

Luo An was speechless. The Federation is vast and rich in resources, and has all kinds of talents.

He always thought that there were more guys with weird brain circuits in a certain state in the southern part of the federation, but he didn't expect that there were quite a few in Los Angeles.

　　Clapping his hands to attract the attention of the three, Luo An handed them the document in his hand:

 “Everyone, this is what we gained after handling this case.”
