Chapter 460 Dinner party, Fiona’s identity, the logic behind it

8:30 pm, Las Vegas, "Joel Robuchon" restaurant.

This is a Michelin three-star French restaurant that specializes in traditional French cuisine. It is particularly famous for its 16-course dinner set. Those who order it can even enjoy an extended Lincoln transfer sent by the restaurant.

In a room deep in the restaurant, there is a long Western table. Winslow, Chenelle, Lacey, Michelle and Mona sat on both sides of the long table, chatting softly while enjoying the novelties on the table. Beautiful French cuisine.

There were several candle lamps placed on the table beside the five people. At the other end of the long dining table, Luo An, who was wearing a suit and ties, and Lacosa O'Dell, who was wearing a red dress, sat looking at each other. There were colored scented candles in front of them. All kinds of delicious food, but neither of them had the intention to eat.

Today, the makeup on Lexa O'Dell's face was not as sharp as when they first met a few days ago, but became much gentler.

Picking up the wine glass, Lacosa shook it towards Luo An and said with a smile:

“Thank you very much for leading the special investigation team to solve the case of our O’Dell family, Chief Greenwood.”

Luo An chuckled lightly and did not answer this sentence. Instead, he picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other person, and said with a smile:

“There are six people in the special investigation team, and six set meals are served in the restaurant. Miss Lacosa spent a lot of money tonight, thank you.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　

The two of them clinked their wine glasses together. Lacosa laughed, raised her head and took a sip. Then she put down the wine glass, leaned back and crossed her legs. She looked at Luo An with a smile and asked:

“As a family member of the victim, I would like to know the details of this case. Can Team Leader Greenwood tell me some?”

Luo An raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked:

 “Didn’t Miss Lacosa already know?”

Roan had previously asked Lacey to investigate Fiona in the Legal Counsel's Office. As a result, Lacey found out that Fiona had close ties with the head of a certain group within the FBI's Las Vegas branch.

Not only that, not long after Fiona left the special investigation team, she called the team leader.

When Luo An heard the news, he immediately understood the logic behind it.

The case of the O'Dell family villa is an outright major case. As long as the murderer is identified and caught, it will be a great achievement.

But because Lexa O'Dell felt that the murderer in this case was coming for the O'Dell family, and there was a group of intricate enemies outside the O'Dell family. She didn't trust the local law enforcement in Las Vegas, so she called in Luo An, who was out of town, handed the case over to the special investigation team.

From another perspective, this kind of thing is a slap in the face of the local law enforcement agencies in Las Vegas.

But Lexa O'Dell quickly gained a foothold with her powerful methods, and Roan Greenwood also had a few thighs looking after her. Even if the local law enforcement agencies in Las Vegas were unhappy, they could only temporarily suppress their emotional choices. Wait and see what happens, and you may even secretly curse Luo An and the others for failing to solve the case.

But Luo An broke their illusions, successfully led the special investigation team to detect the case, and caught the murderer.

The local law enforcement department in Las Vegas was even more unhappy and frustrated when they learned about this incident, but they had no choice but to do anything. Until Luo An was stuck for a full week because he could not find the key evidence.

 This was an opportunity, and they sent Fiona.

If Roan follows Fiona's third suggestion and "accidentally" leaks the story of Hector Jamie's crime to the families of the wealthy victims, once Hector Jamie is in trouble because of the incident, Death in prison, Luo An has a handle.

This handle can be big or small. If someone uses it at a critical moment, it will definitely blow Luo An into disgrace.

Even going deeper, I wonder whether the people who attacked Hector Jamie were the rich relatives of the victims; whether some people would use this excuse to persuade Luo An to do something; or whether some people He just wanted to take this opportunity to win over Luo An and make Luo An switch sides at the critical moment...

Before coming to this restaurant at Lexa's invitation tonight, Roan first called Veranith and Potente-Born and briefly talked about the matter.

 Soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus generals, this kind of thing naturally has to be left to the higher authorities to deal with.

 On the one hand, it is to ask for help, and on the other hand, it is to prove one's abilities and reflect one's worth to the superiors.

At the same time, neither Veranith nor Potente-Byrne are fuel-efficient lamps. They will definitely get some benefits from some people in the local law enforcement department in Las Vegas.

Roan is the one being targeted, and Veranith and Potente-Byrne will definitely share some of the benefits with him after the matter is resolved.

 Success in one fell swoop, Luo An likes to do this kind of thing the most. As for what Roan just said about Lexa O'Dell already knowing about the case, it was not a lie or a test.

After all, the O'Dell family has been operating in the city of Las Vegas for several generations. The Federation is still a capitalist country. Lacosa, the current sole controller of the O'Dell family, will not be able to get information about this case if she can't get it. It's a lie.

 “I do know some general information.”

Lexa smiled and nodded, then crossed her hands and leaned her chin, looked at Luo An with her two big eyes, and laughed softly:

“But Team Leader Greenwood is an eyewitness to this case after all. I believe you must know something that I can’t find out.”

“Since you can’t find out, don’t ask. Many times it’s not good to know too much about things. No matter how high a person’s status is, this sentence is useful.”

Roan turned a blind eye to Lacosa's admiration and seductive gaze and chuckled:

“Mr. Purannai-O’Dell died not long ago, and the O’Dell family should still have a lot of things to deal with.

I think those things are more important than getting news from me, don't you think? "

Hector Jamie’s life will definitely not be very good after entering prison. Those rich people will definitely have the means to find out the situation behind this case. This is determined by the federal system.

As the leader of the special investigation team, Luo An had no intention of telling Lakesha too many details about the case.

Lexa blinked and stared at Luo An for a long time, until Mona, who was not far away, narrowed her eyes slightly, then chuckled and withdrew her gaze:

“Well, Leader Greenwood is indeed a good person.”

 “It’s hard to say that you are a good person, you just do what you do and what you don’t do.”

Luo An smiled and waved his hand. Just as he was about to continue saying something, Lacosa suddenly stood up and motioned to the secretary who had been standing next to her to put on her thick woolen coat. Then she walked to Luo An and bent down. He whispered into Luo An's ear:

“I have already asked someone to enter the account for the fund that was agreed upon in advance.

Also, to be honest, if you weren't too young, I might have fallen in love with you. "

After speaking, Lacosa straightened up, looked around at everyone in the room, especially glanced at Mona a few times, then smiled and left the room with the female secretary.

The side of his face was vaguely surrounded by the smell of perfume left by Lacosa, but Luo An didn't pay attention to the smell, but thought about what Lacosa had just said with a strange expression.

 What do you mean he is too young? He is 26 years old this year, and Lakesha O'Dell is only 19 years old.

However, recalling the various ways Lacosa tormented her eighty-year-old father, and the bald middle-aged killer from before... Luo An's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he understood something.

On the other side, after seeing the scene just now, Lacey swallowed the food in her mouth, tentatively approached Mona, and asked in a low voice:

 “Mona, are you okay?”

"What?"

Mona was stunned for a moment. Only when she saw the look in Lacey's eyes did she understand what she meant. She immediately laughed, shook her head and said:

 “Don’t worry, I’m fine. There’s no way Luo An is interested in that woman Lakesha.”

 Lacie was full of doubts:

 “Why?”

Mona proudly puffed up her chest and said softly:

 “Because she is too young.”

  Lacie: “…”
