Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 231 - 331: Two Bombs!

Billiford Villa, a city within a city, where the most expensive residences are located on the northern hills, gathers Hollywood movie stars, NBA basketball stars, famous artists, and wealthy individuals from around the world, ranking first among the ten wealthiest districts under federal consideration.

At this moment, inside a huge two-story villa, a big group of people in the kitchen is frantically busy preparing food, while many lavishly dressed men and women in the hall and other rooms hold wine glasses, chatting in small groups, with several dozen waiters weaving through with their trays.

Since one of the notable leaders of Columbia Pictures is hosting this party, the attendees include not only well-known Hollywood stars and Los Angeles government leaders, local politicians, but also executives from some well-known companies on New York Wall Street.

Moreover, since this is ultimately a coming-of-age celebration, attendees also include the classmates of François' daughter along with their families, all of whom were either wealthy or noble.

By the time Luo An was speeding and reached here with Mona and two others from Southern Los Angeles, it was already 11:38pm. Lucian from the second investigative team, Group Leader Owen, Levis and Valita from Washington had also just arrived with the SWAT team members.

Stepping quickly out of the car and opening the door, Lucian and Jack from the second investigative team subconsciously turned their heads to look at Luo An's group of four.

Group Leader Owen had already informed them about who Kaden Smith's real target was and how other clues were discovered.

This left Lucian, Jack, Ivy, and Hayes with complex expressions on their faces, filled with jealousy, hesitation, gratitude, doubt, and more.

"FBI! Emergency situation!"

Luo An couldn't care less about these four, as the most urgent matter at hand was to find the bomb quickly.

So, after getting out of the car, he nodded at Levis and immediately took Mona to the villa's surveillance room, flashed his gold badge to move the security personnel aside, and then said:

"Mona, quickly access this villa's surveillance system and hurry to find the location where Kaden Smith hid the bomb!"

"OK!"

Mona took out a data cable to connect her laptop to the surveillance equipment, then began furiously tapping on the keyboard.

At this time, the agents from the second investigative team had already entered the villa's hall and began loudly evacuating the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I am Lucian, a Senior Special Agent from the FBI, please do not panic!

We now need everyone to line up in an orderly fashion and leave this villa, heading towards the open space out front, thank you!"

Beside him, Jack and Ivy were repeatedly waving their hands:

"Let's go, everyone! You've all heard what was said! This is not a request!"

"What?"

"What happened?"

"What exactly is going on?"

"What are you all talking about?"

After Lucian finished speaking, the group of men and women inside the villa looked at each other, and the noise and clamor erupted.

Among them, the classmates of François' daughter who were there to attend the coming-of-age celebration, were especially vocal with their questions, insisting on getting a proper explanation, otherwise refusing to move no matter what.

Faced with these questions from the men and women, Jack and the others were at their wits' end until Levis, who had entered the scene, was able to find the director attending the party, and after revealing his identity, whispered to him and began to outline the situation.

On the other side, in the villa's back kitchen, Reesi and another had already changed into suits, evacuating the crowd while discreetly observing each waiter, attempting to find Kaden Smith.

Inside the surveillance room, Luo An had his arms crossed in front of his chest, and Mona quickly succeeded in locating Kaden Smith's current position and the spot where he hid the bomb:

"Fifteen minutes ago, Kaden Smith walked into the basement on the east side of this villa carrying a backpack.

After he left the basement, that black backpack had disappeared!

Moreover, the surveillance footage shows that Kaden Smith is currently dressed in a waiter's uniform on the staircase, heading towards the hall!"

"Well done!"

Luo An immediately pressed the communicator to inform Levis and Reesi of Kaden Smith's whereabouts, at the same moment he grabbed the long-awaiting bomb defusal expert and rushed towards the basement, with Mona closely following behind.

Upon receiving Luo An's order, Levis and Reesi immediately left the kitchen and hurried towards the stairs.

The director of the FBI Los Angeles Branch in the hall, hearing from Levis about the bomb, his face twitched, then quickly suppressed the fear in his heart, raised his hand loudly declaring his identity, and finally said:

"Everyone! Evacuate this villa immediately! Hurry up!"

Seeing the director of the FBI Los Angeles Branch issue the order, everyone in the hall turned pale and hurriedly dropped their wine glasses and ran towards the outside of the villa.

On the stairs, Levis and Reesi had already caught sight of Kaden Smith but were still some distance away, so Reesi immediately pressed the communicator and spoke to Agent Jack on the other end:

"This is Reesi, watch the stairwell, Kaden Smith will appear soon, arrest him immediately!"

"OK!"

Hearing this, Agent Jack squinted his eyes, cast aside his task of evacuating the crowd, and quickly took his colleague Hayes and positioned themselves at the side of the stairwell.

Kaden Smith, disguised as a male waiter carrying a tray, walked out of the stairwell, noticing the men and women in the hall led by the FBI were all quickly moving towards the open space outside the villa gate, his face revealed a sly look.

The next second, Agent Jack suddenly leapt out and tripped Kaden Smith to the ground, and Agent Hayes seeing this, also rushed over, taking out handcuffs to restrain him.

"..."

Seeing the FBI insignia on Jack and Hayes, Kaden Smith remained expressionless, as if he didn't care at all about being caught.

Just then, a classmate of François's daughter noticed the scene at the stairwell and asked loudly:

"Mr. Agent, what is happening?"

Pressed tight to the ground, Kaden Smith heard this and laughed, replying:

"Because I placed a bo..."

Before he could finish, Reesi, who had reached the stairwell without a moment's hesitation, took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Kaden Smith's mouth, silencing his last word.

But the "bo" from the word "bomb" was still heard by the female classmate, who suddenly covered her mouth and screamed in a high-pitched voice:

"Bomb? The word he was about to say was bomb, wasn't it?!"

Whether she was right didn't matter anymore. The second after the female classmate uttered the word "bomb," the hall, which had still contained some order and an organized evacuation, fell into a brief stillness, before everyone started to shout and scream, turning into a chaotic mass, with everyone frantically running towards the open space outside the villa.

Several women were knocked to the ground by the frenzied crowd and trampled on, causing Valita, who had been working hard to maintain order, to swear piercingly. Levis's eyes were frighteningly cold, as if wishing he could kill Agent Jack and Agent Hayes on the spot.

Agent Jack and Agent Hayes turned pale, while Reesi and Levis exchanged glances, patting their shoulders indicating they must keep a close watch on Kaden Smith, then rushed off to maintain order.

After glaring fiercely at Jack and Hayes, who were shaken to the core, Levis took a deep breath, saw that the time was 11:44, and hastily pressed the communicator to ask:

"Luo An! How are things on your side? What's the status of the three bombs?"

"We've found the bombs, but there's been a slight problem."

Inside the villa's basement, Luo An and Mona, holding flashlights, looked very ugly.

They did indeed find the bombs, but in the black package, there were only two.

The remaining one was nowhere to be found in the basement.

Moreover, the designed detonation time on the bombs wasn't what they had expected at 12:00, but rather 11:50.
