Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 304: Paying for Bus Repairs Yourself, Clues, Snatching People

"Hmm? What's the situation?"

Upon hearing this, Luo An hurried to Mona's side.

"Our internal records show that the vehicle used by Group Leader Owen's investigation team was sent in for logistics maintenance a few days ago."

Mona tapped on the keyboard a few times and pointed to the contents inside, saying:

"But the money paid for this maintenance didn't come from the Special Investigation Team's public account, it was paid out of Group Leader Owen's own pocket."

"Paying out of his own pocket for the team's public vehicle..."

Luo An crossed his arms in front of his chest. Group Leader Owen was not a wealthy man and was usually very clear about company accounts.

"There are some unwritten rules within the FBI."

Sitting beside Mona, Michelle paused for a few seconds before raising her head and saying:

"If maintenance is paid through public accounts, the inspection of the paperwork is strict, and photographs are taken for record keeping. If personal accounts are used, the inspection is much simpler, and the paperwork review isn't as rigorous."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Luo An, Mona, and Reesi all turned their gazes towards Michelle.

Michelle saw this and smiled slightly:

"Remember, I used to work in the prosecutor's office."

Michelle indicated that she had seen many such cases before and was no longer surprised by them.

Suddenly realizing, Mona, with Reesi quietly asking:

"What are the benefits of the latter approach?"

"It mainly allows some traces to be erased or hidden, traces that are inconvenient for others to know about."

Michelle did not withhold any information and directly answered:

"Moreover, using private accounts generates some small profits and can foster good relations with logistics."

Upon hearing that, Reesi was stunned, Mona frowned slightly, and Luo An pondered for a moment, then said:

"It's unlikely that Group Leader Owen was after those profits; more likely, he wanted to hide something."

"Exactly."

Michelle nodded, sharing the same thought.

After thinking it over, Luo An said:

"Michelle, Reesi, the two of you go to the logistics tomorrow to check what Group Leader Owen has been hiding."

"OK."

Michelle and Reesi both nodded in agreement.

A few minutes later, Group Leader Owen's wife was brought here by an agent.

Group Leader Owen's wife, a night-shift nurse named Rebecca, had eyes red with tears, continuously swirling in her eyes.

"I've been married to Owen for 22 years."

Rebecca took the tissue Reesi handed her and sobbed:

"We were planning to move to Hawaii in a couple of years..."

"I'm very sorry, Lady Rebecca."

Luo An had met Rebecca before, and Group Leader Owen had told him how proud he was to have Rebecca, his kind-hearted wife.

Group Leader Owen had been injured when he was younger, and therefore he and Rebecca didn't have children; they had even discussed the dream of adopting a child...

Luo An sighed softly, comforting Rebecca for a long time until her emotions became somewhat more stable. Then he tentatively asked:

"Lady Rebecca, has there been anything unusual in the recent life of Group Leader Owen?"

"No, it's always been the same, nothing unusual."

Lady Rebecca shook her head:

"For many years, I have never gone into Owen's study, I never disturb him while he's working."

Luo An pondered for a few seconds before continuing:

"What about financially? How is your financial situation?"

"Very normal."

Lady Rebecca stated:

"We don't owe any debts, both the car loan and mortgage have long been paid off, there are no financial problems."

"OK."

After a glance at Michelle, Luo An continued:

"We found out that recently Group Leader Owen had some issues with his vehicle during work, do you know about this?"

"I do know about it."

Lady Rebecca nodded and said:

"Owen mentioned it to me, he said that a bird hit the front windshield while he was driving, shattering the glass, and it really startled him."

Bird...

Luo An, Mona, Reesi, and Michelle exchanged glances, seeing suspicion in each other's eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, Luo An lightly coughed, ready to continue questioning.

Just then, the entrance to the Special Investigation Team was suddenly pushed open, and several familiar figures strode in.

"Sorry, Deputy Group Leader Greenwood, the case of Group Leader Owen, we can handle it, no need to bother you all!"

Luo An and the others turned their heads, only to see Lucian, Jack, Ivy, and Hayes from the second investigation team.

Among them, Lucian took the lead, with Jack and Hayes following closely, while Ivy stood last, her gaze towards Luo An and the others somewhat complex.

Previously, when Luo An and Mona had counterattacked the mercenaries on the mountain trail in Los Angeles, it had been Ivy leading the agents who processed the scene and the aftermath.

Ivy, having witnessed Luo An's capabilities and methods.

At that time, Ivy was greatly shocked, and later, knowing that Luo An alone had resolved the four bank robbers unscathed, Ivy's shock turned into admiration and respect.

Having just heard the news of Group Leader Owen's demise, Ivy was very saddened, her eyes still red now.

However, knowing that Luo An was at the scene, and had taken over the case, although still sad, Ivy felt much more reassured at heart.

She believed in Deputy Group Leader Luo An Greenwood's ability and capacity, believing that he could lead the Special Investigation Team to find Owen Group Leader's killer.

Just now, hearing Lucian declare that the Group Leader Owen was their team leader of the second investigation team, and this case belongs to them and must be solved by them, Ivy attempted several times to voice something.

Having worked in the second investigation team for so long, Ivy was well aware of the case-solving levels of Lucian and Jack.

Previously, under the leadership of Group Leader Owen, they managed to solve cases smoothly.

But now with Group Leader Owen gone, Ivy felt that Lucian and others would need at least three to four times the normal duration to solve a case, and whether they could succeed was still an unknown.

But Lucian's pressure was too great, and other agents in the second investigation team also supported Lucian, and Ivy, having a lesser position in the department, was silent for a long time, ultimately not daring to speak her mind.

Ivy also prepared other plans, if the case was handed over to the second investigation team, fine if they found the murderer.

If they didn't find the murderer, she would submit an application to Luo An's Special Investigation Team, seeing if she could transfer to it.

Then find a way to let Luo An take over the case again, and finally catch the murderer of Owen Group Leader to achieve justice.

Lucian from the second investigation team didn't know that a skeptic of his capabilities had emerged behind him, he always had immense confidence in his case-solving abilities.

Moreover, since Group Leader Owen was their team leader of the second investigation team, if the case was given to the Special Investigation Team, what would others think of him?

Lucian, having assumed the identity of the deputy team leader of the second investigation team for so long.

Thus, as he walked into the Special Investigation Team office area, Lucian didn't waste words, directly walked up to Lady Rebecca, grasped her hand, and prepared to walk out:

"Lady Rebecca, trust me, I will find the murderer who killed Group Leader Owen and avenge him!"
