Chapter 348 John’s true identity

 An ordinary room in a community south of Los Angeles Airport.

Hearing Luo An's words, Lacey immediately walked into the bathroom and followed his gaze to the paintings hanging on the wall.

 This is a very ordinary and common landscape painting. What is noticeable is that a small part of the painting is concave inward.

Lacie gave a thumbs up to Luo An, raised her hand to pick up the painting, and a black combination lock safe appeared in front of them.

 “A big surprise.”

Lacie threw the painting aside casually. Luo An came up and knocked on the safe, turned around and asked:

 “Let’s ask someone from the Trace Inspection Department to open the gift box.”

 “OK.”

Lacie took out her mobile phone and contacted the agents from the Trace Inspection Division. While waiting for the agents from the Trace Inspection Division to arrive, Luo An called Michelle:

 “How is the investigation going on here?”

“I found the black Buick car that drug addict Dagny Moses said was on a camera south of Allen’s villa area.”

Michelle’s sigh came from the other end of the phone:

“But unfortunately, that black Buick had someone else’s license plate on it, and the real owner of that license plate had been at work.”

Luo An frowned slightly when he heard this:

“Can you clearly see the appearance of the driver of the black Buick in the camera?”

 “Can’t see clearly.”

Michelle manipulated the mouse to enlarge the surveillance screen:

“But Mona helped me improve the quality of the footage recorded by the surveillance camera. The black Buick had a driver in the front and a person sitting in the back seat.”

 “It seems that the crime was committed by a gang.”

 Luo An nodded, pondered for a few seconds, and added:

“Continue to look for the Buick and see where it was last seen.”

"no problem."

Not long after hanging up the phone, people from the Trace Inspection Section also arrived. A few minutes later, agents from the Trace Inspection Section carrying professional equipment successfully opened the old combination lock safe.

"sharp!"

Luo An grinned and gave a thumbs up to the agent from the Trace Inspection Section. Then he looked at the professional tools in the other person's hand, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

 “Thank you, thank you for your hard work.”

Lacie thanked the detectives from the Trace Inspection Division and opened the door of the safe. There was only a locked metal box inside.

This box naturally did not require the intervention of the agents from the Trace Inspection Division. Luo An stepped forward and in just ten seconds... removed the lock from the box.

  “…”x2

Lacey and the detectives from the Trace Inspection Section were speechless as they looked at the lock thrown aside. Luo An ignored their looks and immediately opened the metal box after removing the lock.

There were not many things in the metal box, except for a few US dollars stacked up to about 70,000, a loaded 9 mm pistol, 5 social security cards, driver's licenses, and passports with different identities.

The names above are all different, but the faces are all the same, John Rodriguez.

 “Wow, looks like we found a Mr. Spy.”

Lacie carefully checked her driver's license and passport and found that they didn't seem to be fake. Upon seeing this, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Mona:

“Mona, please do some hard work and check the authenticity of these documents.”

According to the ID numbers Lacey described on the phone, Mona’s fingers were flying on the computer and she quickly found out the status of these IDs:

“Unfortunately, these documents are all genuine and are genuine documents issued by the federal government.”

 “This is really unsurprising news.”

Luo An sat down on the sofa in the living room and asked:

 “So which one is our Mr. John’s true identity?”

 “John Rodriguez, this is who he really is.”

Mona on the other end of the phone looked at the information on the computer and replied:

"Under this name, I found his birth certificate, childhood photos, and medical insurance and other information." "This news is a bit surprising."

Luo An raised his eyebrows, and Lacey next to him saw this and asked:

“So, who is John Rodriguez? A spy? An agent?”

Mona handed the phone to Michelle:

“I don’t know, Michelle is checking.”

“The National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security have gotten back to me and said John is not one of their people.”

Michelle put down the landline phone in her hand and was about to continue talking when another landline phone suddenly rang.

After answering the phone, Michelle nodded and answered a few words, then covered the landline phone and said to Mona’s mobile phone:

“The CIA said that John is their senior agent and asked our special investigation team to immediately stop the current case-handling activities.”

 “It’s these jerks again!”

　Hearing Michelle's words, Mona and Lacey both rolled their eyes.

 Luo An glared at Lacey when he heard this. He couldn't speak clearly. If the CIA is a troublemaker, who are we?

After a second of silence, Luo An said seriously into the phone:

“Michelle, tell the CIA group that our operations cannot be stopped. If you have any request, come to my place and discuss it face to face.

In addition, briefly inform them of John’s current whereabouts, and let them ask for John’s information.

 If not, if any problems arise between John and Kara during this period, all responsibility will be borne by the CIA. "

Michelle immediately repeated Luo An’s words to the other party. Mona, who was holding the mobile phone next to her, had bright eyes. She liked Luo An’s domineering look.

 Lacie and the agent from the Trace Inspection Section also gave Luan a thumbs up when they heard this.

 A few seconds later, Michelle’s voice sounded again:

“Deputy Team Leader Luo An, John’s superior asked where you are now. He wants to meet with you in person to discuss this matter.”

 Michelle finished speaking. Although Mona and Lacey were far apart, they both had beautiful smiles on their faces.

Luo An’s expression remained unchanged, he glanced at the room that had been searched and there was nothing useful, and said:

“Don’t come here, go directly to our special investigation team. Lacey and I will go back right away.”

　　——

 Half an hour later, the special investigation team conference room.

“John is one of the most capable agents we have in South America.”

John’s superior is an old white man with a stern face and a black suit named Wander.

He crossed his legs and looked at Luo An expressionlessly:

“His return to the Federation for the sake of his family is a great loss to us.”

Seeing that the other party kept looking at him with a cold face, Luo An's face also turned cold, and he asked with the same expressionless face:

“So, John is not an active agent now?”

 “He is now mainly responsible for management matters.”

Wande asked rhetorically:

 “Why are you investigating John this time?”

 Luo An did not answer, but just glanced at Lacey next to him.

Upon seeing this, Lacey immediately opened the recording of the call between John and his wife Ellen after he got off the plane.

After the recording was played, Luo An said coldly:

“John’s daughter was kidnapped. It was not difficult to hear in the recording that John had been in contact with the kidnapper and even knew who the kidnapper was.

 As John’s commander, what are your thoughts on this? "

After listening to the recording, Wande's eyes quickly darkened. Regarding the question raised by Luo An, he pondered for a few seconds and said:

“I should know who the other party is. There is a high probability that they are a group of guys from South America looking for revenge on John.”

 Luo An crossed his legs and leaned back:

 “Can you explain it in detail?”
