Chapter 402 [The case of a naval officer who disappeared in the middle of the night]

 Office of the group leader.

 “Good morning, sir.”

Roan knocked on the door and entered the office. He was chatting with Potente Byrne. Chenier and Winslow were able to transfer to the special investigation team in such a short time. Potente Byrne helped a lot.

 Potente-Bourne looked at Luo An with a smile on his face, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became.

A few days ago, Potente Byrne and Luo An just held a press conference for the [physical secession case of the Los Angeles Assembly Speaker]. The serial murder case of more than a dozen victims caused an uproar among the citizens of Los Angeles.

Major media outlets are reporting like crazy. If you leave the building and buy a newspaper on the streets of Los Angeles, you will see photos of Potente Byrne and Roan Greenwood on it.

The mayor of Los Angeles, the new speaker of the Los Angeles Council, and even the governor of California have expressed their views on the case and called Potente-Byrne to offer praise and encouragement.

Veranith from afar also called and praised Luo An. Mr. Clement also took the time to call Luo An, praising Luo An for his good work and inviting Luo An to come to Grammar during the Christmas holiday. A potluck dinner at Clement's house.

Luo An agreed to the other party's invitation. He knew that this was Mr. Clement's move to win people's hearts, but he didn't mind. After all, only high-value people can be valued by the other party. What's more, Luo An's journey will definitely change after this. Smoother.

　　咚! Boom! Boom!

Just when Potente Byrne and Luo An were chatting happily, there was a sudden knock on the door of the team leader's office. It was Morton York, the leader of the No. 4 investigation team.

 “Good morning, sir.”

 After entering the room, Morton-York exchanged a few brief greetings without any nonsense. He turned his eyes directly to Luo An who was sitting on the chair and said:

“I have a case that I would like to ask Team Leader Luo An for help with.”

  Luo An:?

 Morton-York did not mince words, saying the case he was talking about was a disappearance.

 Ordinary disappearance cases do not require the FBI to intervene. Even if the FBI does, the experienced Morton-York is capable of handling the case.

 But this case is different. The missing person is still related to Morton York. According to the FBI's internal regulations, Morton York cannot handle this case.

At the end, Morton-York once again apologized for the previous incident and sincerely asked Luo An for help.

Potente Byrne, the team leader next to him, did not speak. He knew about the bad blood between Roan and Morton York. With Roan's performance during this period, the balance in Potente Byrne's heart began to move towards Roan. An tilted, he now respected Luo An's personal attitude.

Under Morton-York's nervous eyes, Luo An looked at the general information of the case, was silent for a few seconds, laughed, raised his head and said:

“OK, I can take this case, but I also have something to ask Team Leader Morton for help.”

Roan wanted Morton-York to do the same thing as John Rodriguez: figure out the ins and outs of Los Angeles’ underworld.

Morton-York has spent a lot of time in Los Angeles and must have some knowledge of the Los Angeles underworld.

By then, by comparing the clues found by John Rodriguez with the clues provided by Morton York, Luo An will be able to roughly determine the true situation of the underground world in Los Angeles.

"no problem!"

Morton-York agreed without hesitation. He had seen Luo An's performance during this period. While he regretted his original behavior, he had also been busy building a good relationship with Luo An.

Morton-York also helped Luo An several times in the previous cases. It was because he saw the other party's current attitude and behavior that Luo An chose to take on this case.

Then he briefly chatted with Potente Byrne, and after Morton York gave him all the information about the disappearance case, Roan returned to the special investigation team with these documents.

 Special Investigation Team, office area.

Lacey, Michelle and Mona were chatting with the newcomers Winslow and Chenelle. Winslow was okay, he looked fierce but spoke very gently, while Chenelle's attitude was a bit cold, not that I don't like Lacey and others, I just don't like talking, and the whole person is a bit boring.

 “Good morning, fellow agents!”

  Pushing open the door of the Special Investigation Team, Luo An smiled, raised the folder in his hand, and said:

“We can put aside the old talk. It’s still some time before Christmas, but we have received new gifts in advance.”

 “I hope you don’t receive this kind of gift on Christmas Day.”

 Lacie turned her chair back to her original position and complained in a low voice. Mona next to her asked directly:

“What case is it again?” “A disappearance case, this time the missing person is a soldier.”

Handed the folder to Michelle, who distributed it to the agents. Luo An turned around and posted photos of the missing people on the whiteboard and introduced:

“Peteto-Ossen, 45 years old, is a federal navy captain.

Last night around 11:30, I lost contact and was nowhere to be found. Time has passed by now..."

Luo An looked up at the clock and then said:

 “Ten hours.”

 “The naval officer is missing?”

Looking at the folder in her hand, Lacey scratched her head:

 “It’s not a terrorist seeking revenge, is it?”

“It’s also possible that he has done something, and now his identity is exposed and someone comes to visit him.”

Luo An casually replied with another guess, then tapped the whiteboard and said loudly:

“Everyone, the missing person is a naval officer, and there must be a lot of things in his head. These things are most likely the targets of the kidnappers.

 48 hours is the prime time for a kidnapping case, and we must find each other within this time.

Mona, Michelle, you two stay with the special investigation team and use the computer to check Pitdo Olson's personal financial status, emotional status, recent whereabouts and other information.

 Lacey, Winslow, you two go to the naval base where Pitdo Olson served and see if there are any clues.

 Chenelle, you and I come together. We go to the location where Pitdo Olsen was last seen yesterday to check on the situation and see what the witnesses say. "

 “OK!”

"no problem!"

After receiving the exact order, a group of agents started working as required. Two SUVs drove out of the parking lot and began to move quickly in two directions.

 The federal army is different from the armies of many countries. First of all, there are military bases set up by the federal navy next to major cities in the federation, as well as in cities in some foreign countries.

Secondly, the management of the federal army is also very lax. Whether soldiers or officers, unless they make a mistake, they can leave the base for a period of time to have fun.

 The last place Peter Olsen was seen before his disappearance was a bar in north Los Angeles.

  The car driven by Pitdo Olson was parked on the corner diagonally across from the bar. It was intact and there was no surveillance nearby. Roan and Chenier didn't find any clues here, so they opened the door and entered the bar.

"I know him, he came last night, but I didn't expect him to be a naval officer... But now that I think about it, he does fit the image of a naval officer."

The bar owner is a fat middle-aged woman. After seeing the photo of Pitdo Olsen shown by Luo An, she put down the glass in her hand and smiled:

“Every time this guy comes to my place, he brings a woman with him, or he temporarily finds a woman in the bar. After the two of them have a drink, he will drag the woman straight to the Express Hotel not far away.”

 “OK.”

Roan declined to comment on Pitto-Ossen’s personal lifestyle, and went on to ask:

“Did anything unusual happen when he was here last night?”

 “There is indeed one thing.”
