Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 265: Special Investigation Team

Jacob Federation Building.

In a large conference room, Vireness, dressed in a ladies’ suit, faced dozens of reporters and spoke loudly about the case.

"...In this operation, we successfully dismantled a nefarious organization in New York City that targeted children, rescuing a large number of children abused by criminals... This has been the biggest and most successful operation by the FBI New York Branch against child sex crime!"

As Vireness finished speaking, reporters from various major New York media stood up with their microphones:

"Special Agent Supervisor, could you elaborate on the details of this operation?"

"It’s said that the Deputy Mayor of New York City was also brought back to the Jacob Federation Building; what is his involvement in this case?"

"Ms. Vireness, what about the government official from the Department of Justice that you took away? Is he also involved in this perversion?"

"..."

Seeing the eager reporters in front of her, Vireness slightly lifted the corners of her lips:

"Don’t rush; one at a time!"

Investigation Team 5, Interrogation Area.

"I said, I absolutely could not have had relations with underage boys!"

A skinny, somewhat bald middle-aged white man shouted loudly:

"You FBI are slandering my character!"

"What about the videotapes found in your safe at home?"

Laid, with a look of disdain, pushed the bald white man into the temporary detention area:

"You better think about how your lawyer can prove that it wasn’t you on those tapes!"

Elsewhere, Reesi held a folder and spoke loudly:

"In this operation, we not only captured three organizers of the Federation Youth Hobbies Association in the New York Region but also successfully caught 38 individuals with high social status who were perverts, including teachers, court clerks, engineers, lawyers, Wall Street stock experts..."

Mona asked:

"What about the children? How many did we rescue in total?"

"Nineteen in the New York Region; we don’t know about abroad yet, the local governments are investigating those child welfare institutions."

Reesi flipped through the records in her hand and continued:

"New York’s Child Welfare Bureau is helping these children move into temporary foster homes."

Mona was about to ask something else when Luo An patted her shoulder and smiled:

"Don’t forget about something even more important, what’s the status of the murderer who killed Little Ansel Ward?"

After all, the initial investigation of this major case was to find the murderer of Little Ansel.

On hearing this, Mona slapped her forehead and hurried back to her workstation, pulled out a paper after searching for a moment, and handed it to Luo An:

"According to the interrogation record of the travel company owner Dawer, the guy who bought Little Ansel Ward is named Lewis, a surgeon, and we’ve already arrested him."

"Great."

Luo An took the file and found that the FBI agents led by Laid had discovered many photos of Little Ansel Ward in this guy’s house and a small freezer in the basement.

Thinking for a moment, Luo An added:

"Don’t forget to have the forensics department thoroughly search this surgeon’s house for evidence; we must nail this pervert and let him experience the ’wonderful life’ of perversion in prison."

"I’ve already had the forensics department begin the investigation."

Just then, Augustus came over, patted Luo An on the arm, and smiled:

"Nicely done, Luo An, the process of this operation was truly fantastic!"

"It’s a fruit of everyone’s efforts."

Luo An smiled in response.

Having just returned from the press conference, Augustus felt somewhat emotional, especially since Luo An was about to leave New York for Los Angeles.

However, Augustus knew exactly what Luo An’s trip to Los Angeles was about, so after patting Luo An’s arm again, he grinned and said:

"The press conference is over, Vireness has something for you, you’d better hurry to her office."

"OK."

Remembering the emphasis Vireness had placed on her words over the phone, Luo An felt a slight flutter in his heart, but his expression didn’t change as he nodded and smiled, leaving the Special Investigation Team 5.

Special Agent Supervisor Office.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Come in!"

As Luo An entered the office, Vireness wasn’t sitting in her chair as usual, but was making a phone call facing the window.

She gestured for Luo An to sit down first. Vireness didn’t hide her conversation from Luo An, the gist of which was that the media in New York, big and small, would soon be rallying to publicize the case, aiming to let all the citizens of New York know that the FBI had cracked down on a major crime against children.

Of course, Vireness herself didn’t have such influence, but at the recent press conference, the head of the FBI’s New York Branch had attended, briefly explained the case, and praised Vireness and the team handling it.

Minutes later, after finishing the call, Vireness turned around, her eyes full of smiles:

"Luo An, I’m very satisfied with the gift you gave before leaving New York, thank you."

Vireness had guessed Luo An’s thoughts after some reflection, and felt very relieved and happy; she indeed had not misjudged him.

"It’s my duty, ma’am."

Luo An chuckled. Having met Vireness after joining the FBI was indeed a stroke of luck; a boss who was smart, had connections, gave opportunities to subordinates, and could shoulder responsibilities was hard to find.

Those long, fair legs must definitely be held tightly, never letting anyone pry them away.

Hearing Luo An’s words, Vireness’s smile widened, and she picked up her coffee and raised it towards Luo An, who also raised his coffee. They smiled at each other and drank up. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"I called you into the office mainly because I have managed to secure an opportunity for you."

After putting down their coffees, Vireness didn’t keep him in suspense but handed Luo An a folder.

Luo An opened the folder and discovered that its contents came from the FBI’s Washington Headquarters.

"With the rapid development of the federal online world, our FBI’s methods of investigating cases also need some adjustments."

Taking the coffee beside her, Vireness poured them both another cup, then said:

"In the past, investigating a case sometimes required contacting other departments, which was not only time-consuming but would sometimes meet with refusal to cooperate.

Our own personnel within the FBI are also somewhat redundant, and occasionally there are some who lag behind..."

Hearing this, Luo An’s eyes brightened, recalling how in later FBI, some departments had streamlined organizational structures.

Sure enough, Vireness continued, saying that the Washington Headquarters had decided to establish ten smaller ’Special Investigation Teams.’ Whether reforms are needed will be assessed based on their daily performance.

Vireness successfully secured a slot for one such team at the Los Angeles Branch where Luo An would be heading.

This team, in its future operations, would consist of no more than seven members and include a specific person responsible for liaising with other law enforcement agencies; the specific enforcement content would not be fixed and would be decided by the team leader.

Simply put, such a team, small in number, could handle any case they wanted, and the leader had the final say.

"Wow."

Seeing this, Luo An raised his eyebrows and looked at Vireness:

"So, the team I will join, its leader is...?"

"No leader yet."

Vireness leaned back tactically, crossing her legs, and softly chuckled at Luo An:

"And according to regulations, in the absence of the leader, the deputy team leader acts as the team leader!"
