Chapter 362 Arrive in Washington and learn new news from the investigation team

 Federal Politics Center, Washington, Sunday.

Before going here, Luo An had called Veranith. While exchanging feelings with her, he also asked sideways about the evaluation standards this time.

Veranith did not go into details, but she said that she happened to need to leave New York on Monday and go to Washington to report work, and she would meet and chat then.

 “So, Veranith asked to meet you?”

After getting off the plane, Luo An and the two walked out of Washington Dulles International Airport, hailed a taxi and headed to the pre-booked hotel. After listening to Luo An's account, Mona asked with some worry:

 “There won’t be any problems, right?”

 “It’s just an interview, what problems can arise?”

Luo An put his arms around Mona's slender waist and laughed, pointed at the scenery outside the car window, and said calmly:

“Don’t think about those things, just think about where we will go shopping and eat after we finish cleaning up at the hotel.”

"you're right."

Seeing that Luo An was not at all panicked, Mona also let go of her worries and began to carefully consider the well-known landmarks in Washington, DC.

 Monuments, the National Mall, museums, and cultural venues such as the National Theater, Convention Center, and National Portrait Gallery are all places that tourists in Washington like to visit.

 The taxi arrived at the hotel, paid and got off. Luo An and Mona didn't take any luggage. The hotel waiter came over and looked at it, then silently stepped back.

Mona was carrying her satchel and was about to walk into the wine list, but found that Luo An was standing still, still watching the taxi slowly leaving.

"What's wrong?"

Upon seeing this, Mona quickly walked to Luo An and carefully recalled the driver in the taxi just now. She had not paid much attention to him just now.

“It’s okay, I’m just a little surprised that we were so lucky to meet a taciturn taxi driver.”

There are not many silent taxi drivers in the Federation, let alone taxi drivers in areas near scenic spots.

Luo An smiled and shook his head, turned around and hugged Mona and walked into the hotel.

Judging from the calluses on the taxi driver's hands and body movements, Luo An could tell that the taxi driver was no ordinary person.

At first, he thought the other party was coming for him and Mona, but the "emotional perception" in his mind found that the driver had no inappropriate emotions towards him, and there were no abnormal actions along the way. He dropped them at the designated location and left directly. .

The Federation has had a lot of retired soldiers in recent years. There is really no other way. It is also a good choice to make money by taxiing. Maybe this is the case for this driver.

Since the other party is not targeting him, Luo An, who is too lazy to meddle in other people's business, will naturally not target the other party.

 Borrowed a phone in the hotel lobby, contacted the law enforcement department in Washington, and briefly explained the taxi driver's situation. Luo An and Mona walked to the hotel elevator while chatting and laughing.

 The taxi driver in the distance: “…”

Roan and Mona's room is on the eleventh floor of the hotel. The two are now colleagues on the surface. In order to prevent anyone from looking for trouble based on this, superficial work still needs to be done, so this room is a suite.

The price of the suite is slightly expensive, but it only lasts for two days. For Luo An, who has a small fortune, it is not too distressing for him.

 After entering the room to rest for a while, Luo An and Mona simply packed up their belongings and left the hotel to visit various attractions in Washington.

Luo An himself has almost no artistic talent. The history of the Federation is too short and he does not have a deep understanding of it.

Mona is similar to him. Various cultural landscapes are far less interesting to her than mechanical and electronic networks.

 So the two of them just visited a few scenic spots and went to a well-known restaurant in Washington to enjoy delicious food.

In the evening, the two returned to the hotel suite and rested for a while until late at night.

While Mona was asleep, Luo An felt a little hungry, so he went to the hotel's 24-hour buffet restaurant to prepare for a late night snack. “Deputy Team Leader Greenwood?”

Just as Luo An was sitting on a chair in the restaurant with a knife and fork, fighting with the large pieces of steak on the plate, a strange man's voice came from behind.

Stop what he was doing and turned around, Luo An found that the person who came was a middle-aged white man with short brown hair, wearing glasses, over 1.9 meters tall but not much muscle. He looked very much like a scholar.

Luo An had previously asked Veranith for names from other special investigation teams, so he quickly recognized the identity of the person:

Ethan-Patel, head of the Special Investigations Unit of the FBI's Chicago Division, is 36 years old.

Chicago's customs and customs are very famous throughout the federation. As the leader of the city's special investigation team, Eason Patel looks like a scholar, but he has handled a lot of cases and dealt with all kinds of ruthless people. Quite a few.

 “Hello, Captain Patel.”

Looking at the other person smiling and extending his hand towards him, Luo An naturally stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said with a smile:

“I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that we actually stayed in the same hotel.”

 “Not just us, but others too.”

 After shaking hands, Essan Patel sat down opposite Luo An with a glass of wine and said with a smile:

“In addition to me, Team Leader Phillip from Houston and Team Leader Wilson from Philadelphia also live here. We chatted together this afternoon.”

 “Wow, looks like I missed a nice party, what a shame.”

Luo An quickly finished the steak on the table, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other person, laughing and chatting.

Eason-Patel speaks neither hastily nor slowly, and his tone is very kind, indeed more like a scholar.

 Luo An was not sure what the other party's purpose was now, and it was not appropriate to leave directly, so he started chatting randomly with the other party.

Seeing Luo An taking the topic further and further, from the steak on the table to talking about the annual forest fires in federal neighbors, Eason-Patel looked at his watch and found that it was already early morning. The corner of his mouth twitched, he raised his glass and spoke to Luo An. An touched it and finally spoke to bring the chat to the main topic:

“Deputy Leader Greenwood, what do you think of our ten special investigation teams?”

 “Special Investigation Team?”

Hearing Erson-Patel's question, Luo An's head moved slightly, but he did not answer, but asked:

“I wonder what Team Leader Patel thinks of the Special Investigation Team?”

Ethan-Patel smiled slightly and did not answer:

“Deputy Leader Greenwood, this is my question to you.”

 “So that’s it.”

Luo An suddenly realized and patted his head, then replied with a smile:

“I feel the same way about the Special Investigations Team as you do about the Special Investigations Team, Chief Patel.”

　　　…”

Hearing Luo An’s answer, Essen-Patel couldn’t laugh or cry, and secretly thought:

“It seems that the information found is correct. Roan Greenwood is indeed a cautious and cunning little fox. No wonder he can control a special investigation team at such a young age.”

Roan still had a smile on his face regarding Essan-Patel's dissatisfaction. He now had no idea what Essan-Patel was thinking and what he wanted to do.

 In this case, naturally you cannot reveal your own judgment. Who knows whether the other party's position will be friend or foe after speaking out.

Seeing that if he didn’t come up with something, Luo An would definitely continue to pretend to be stupid. Ethan Patel stopped being the Riddler and directly revealed a piece of news in a low voice:

“Deputy Leader Greenwood, it is said that one of the reasons why the Washington headquarters summoned us here this time is to see if there is any need for our special investigation teams to exist.”

Roan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He finally understood what Essen-Patel meant.
