Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 166: Post-Event Rewards and the Emergence of a New Case
Monday, Team Five of the investigation unit.
Except for Mona, who slept directly in the unit, the other agents haven't arrived for work yet.
Luo An came early today, sitting on a chair and reviewing the pale blue system interface in his mind.
Most of the time, the system evaluated his performance in the past few days as good and excellent.
After the daily crude online game's chest-opening animation, the potions mostly released from the system's chest were stamina potions, strength potions, and agility potions.
For these potions that incrementally added to his basic attributes, Luo An could never have enough of them.
On the nights he cracked the [Park River Male Corpse Case] and [Beach Pit Serial Murder Case], in addition to the three potions mentioned above, the system chest also produced hemostasis potions, antidote potions, and a bottle of a new potion:
Featherfall Potion.
Without an instruction manual, Luo An didn't know what the Featherfall Potion meant and could only temporarily put it in his storage column.
If he gets another bottle in the future, he'll drink one to try out the exact effect.
Since Luo An developed the habit of gulping down several bottles of stamina potions, strength potions, and agility potions after breakfast every day, although he had many potions, there weren't many left in the storage column.
Currently, in Luo An's system storage column, there are 2 bottles of antidote potion, 3 bottles of hemostasis potion, 1 bottle of strength potion, 1 bottle of strength potion, 1 bottle of agility potion, 1 bottle of weakness potion, 1 bottle of water breathing potion, 1 bottle of fire resistance potion, and 1 bottle of the newly obtained Featherfall Potion.
There was originally also a bottle of sleeping potion in the storage column.
After attending the Augustus' wedding anniversary party on Saturday night, Luo An went to the Rider's house's barbecue party on Sunday.
As Luo An expected, there was a bunch of Texas faces at the party that he had never seen before.
These people all came for the fame of Luo An's arm-wrestling feats.
Bolstered by strength potions and stamina potions, Luo An naturally didn't fear these rednecks in front of him.
After winning a series of bouts against everyone, Luo An successfully went from being Texas's long-lost brother to Texas's newfound kin.
Luo An: "..."
A few NYPD officers handed Luo An a card directly after he won against everyone.
This is an internal NYPD certificate issued to some police family members.
If these police relatives accidentally made a small mistake, as long as they showed the certificate and the situation wasn't serious, the NYPD would let them off the hook.
The relational society of America is not only deeply rooted but also out in the open.
The main reason these NYPD rednecks gave Luo An this proof was because they heard of Luo An's love for racing.
With this card, as long as Luo An doesn't create trouble while driving the Chevrolet without being on duty, no NYPD officer will come looking for him.
Luo An was happy to receive the card. The only issue was that this group could really drink.
Luo An Greenwood wasn't great with alcohol, and even with all sorts of potions to aid him, alcohol tolerance wasn't something that could be instantly improved.
Especially when a whole bunch of rednecks took turns forcing drinks on him.
When he really couldn't drink any more toward the end and they did not let him leave, Luo An had no choice but to pour the sleeping potion into the beer barrel when they weren't paying attention.
Half an hour later, the rowdy noise from these drunkards completely disappeared, replaced by the sound of thunderous snoring.
Seeing this, the wives of the rednecks hauled their husbands into the trunks and drove home with a foot on the gas...

Not much time had passed when Reesi pushed open the door to Team Five's office and walked in.
Slap!
She threw several packets of Luo An's favorite breakfast on Luo An's desk in front of him and said harshly in a low voice:
"You did a fine job!"
"?"
Luo An raised his head, completely befuddled, then suddenly remembered something, his pupils shrinking abruptly as he quickly shook his head:
"I never laid a hand on you!"
Luo An had no interest in Leabians.
"…Idiot!"
Hearing Luo An's words, Reesi froze, and after realizing what he meant, she glared at him fiercely.
Releasing her grip, Reesi stuffed a business card into Luo An's pocket, her face showing distinct displeasure as she said:
"Not keen on struggling your way up? If you want a shortcut, then call this number!"
The confusion on Luo An's face deepened as he picked up the business card and asked:
"Who is this?"
Reesi snorted coldly:
"She's the female companion I brought to the Augustus family's party, Diana."
At that Saturday night's party, when Brenton silently pondered whether to continue the billiards game and chose to go on, he committed a couple of fouls during the subsequent play.
That is, he used the rules to his advantage, blocking Luo An's balls with his own.
The gentlemen present saw the use of rules to win the competition as normal, while the ladies were not so rational, complaining and expressing their discontent.
Therefore, although Valentine eventually won two out of three games against Luo An, all the ladies gathered around Luo An to comfort him instead.
They all suggested that Valentine, with his background as a former athlete, was bullying Luo An the amateur – it was a case of the strong picking on the weak, utterly despicable.
Valentine was on the verge of tears, having won but feeling worse than if he'd lost.
Reesi's companion Diana was also among the women consoling Luo An.
After the party ended that night, Reesi and Diana went to a hotel, and then...
Started a fight on the bed.
Both mistook the other for 'Ling', when they each believed themselves to be 'Yi'.
After more than an hour of battle, Reesi was defeated and forced into action.
A while later, Diana, with a face full of satisfaction, snacked on some post-battle fruit, then suddenly leaned towards Reesi and made a request:
To call Luo An and have a skill contest with him.
Don't get the wrong idea, the 'skill' here refers to American pool.
Diana's family was extremely wealthy, and her elder brother was a world-famous American pool player.
Under the circumstances of not lacking money, Diana naturally pursued higher aspirations.
That is, to be world-famous in American pool like her brother.
But her own skills were mediocre, and her talent was lacking, so she eventually decided to lower her life goal:
To marry an American pool player.
Luo An was not an American pool player, but he had the skills, and he also had a handsome face.
Although a man, Diana didn't care, to her it did not matter whether it was a man or a woman.
"..."
After listening to Reesi's account, Luo An was filled with speechlessness.

Having no desire to entertain this omnivorous woman, let alone the inclination to be a live-in son-in-law, Luo An casually tossed the card into the trash can.
After much contemplation, Luo An cleared his throat twice and moved closer to Reesi, ready to ask a question.
That was, with Reesi's experience, why had she failed to distinguish their roles this time?
Luo An was a little curious and wanted to learn something new.
Bang!
Just then, the door to Investigation Team Five swung open abruptly, followed by Augustus's booming voice:
"Everyone, there's a new case!"
It wasn't quite official working hours yet. In the office area of Investigation Team Five, Luo An, Reesi, and Mona all exchanged blank stares with Augustus.
"We'll count this as overtime, and you'll be compensated for it later!"
Seeing the empty office space, a twitch appeared at the corner of Augustus's mouth, but fortunately, the key personnel for solving the case were present, so he cut to the chase:
"A judge at the New York Court was killed ten minutes ago! Get to the scene now and check it out!"
"Roger that, chief!"
Hearing there would be overtime pay, Luo An got to his feet with a solemn expression, pulled Reesi along as they dashed into the equipment room, and then drove straight to the scene of the crime.
