Chapter 549: Chapter 543： Identity, $1 million entry case

Chapter 543: Identity, $1 million case

Federal Secret Service, United States Secret Service, abbreviated as USSS.

This department is affiliated with the federal Department of Homeland Security. Its employees are divided into special agents and uniformed departments. It is mainly responsible for the prevention and investigation of counterfeiting of U.S. dollars, Treasury bonds, and other notes, as well as the protection of the federal president, vice president, and their families.

Forty minutes later, in the conference room of Investigation Team 13, Roan and Veranith were sitting on the center chair, Winslow and Chenelle were standing behind them, and opposite the four of them sat an expressionless sportsman. Pretending to be a man.

Mona's laptop was placed in front of Luo An and Veranith on the conference table, and the identity information of a man in sportswear was displayed on the screen.

“Alejo-Moore.”

Luo An looked at some of the information that could be found on the other party and said with a smile:

“A rare name.”

Alejo ignored Roan. He turned his eyes to Verenis and said:

"I will not answer any of your questions until my immediate superior comes."

The makeup on Verenis's face was very cold, and it felt even colder when her face was expressionless. She opened a folder and threw it to Alejo opposite:

“This is an order signed to you by the commander directly above you.”

Alejo is just an ordinary senior agent in the USSS (Secret Service).

His superior was the agent team leader, but Veranith didn’t have the other party’s contact information, so she directly called the agent team leader’s superior, a certain director.

Alejo: “…”

Seeing the person opposite holding the document, his face flushed, and his mouth opening and closing several times without knowing what to say, Luo An grinned, picked up the coffee pot and filled the coffee cup in front of Veranith.

The thighs beside him are not only long, white and eye-catching, but also never fall off the chain at critical moments, which is really impressive.

Alejo looked down at the folder and was silent for a long time, then raised his head and asked:

“…What do you want to know?”

Veranith turned her attention to Luo An, who found the photo of the victim Nokvik and handed it to him and asked:

“Is he from your Secret Service?”

“NO.”

Alejo shook his head and replied:

“Norkwick had participated in the review and training of the Secret Service before, but failed to persist to the end, so he changed his job and became an informant for our Secret Service.”

“Who is Nokwick’s superior? Are you responsible for liaising with him?”

“To be more specific, it’s been me in the past five years.”

Alejo licked his chapped lips and replied:

“His original supervisor was promoted within the Secret Service, so Nokwick was transferred to my staff.”

Thinking of the safe he found earlier, Luo An asked:

“The money in the safe comes from your Secret Service?”

“That’s right.”

Alejo nodded:

“Norkwick is a very good informant, which is why his previous contact was able to solve so many cases and advance so quickly.

Because of this, Nokwick has always received the highest-level informant fees. "

“OK.”

Winslow, who was next to him, thought for a while and then asked:

“So, Nokwick was killed because his identity as an informant was exposed?”

The word informant is often combined with "informant", "betrayer", etc. in the federal cultural station, and the identity is very unpopular.

Norkwick was an excellent informant who made a lot of money in this capacity. There was no telling how many people wanted to kill him.

“It’s possible.”

Luo An nodded, looked at Alejo, and said:

“The question now is what exactly Nokwick was investigating before he was killed.”

Seeing Luo An’s gaze, Alejo was silent for a moment, with a gloomy face, and replied:

“Sorry, I don’t know.”

“What?”

"I really do not know."

Alejo looked very unhappy and explained:

"A month ago, Nokwick contacted me and said that he had discovered a big case, but he needed some funds to investigate the case. He didn't have enough money, so he asked me to borrow some."

“Approximately how much?”     “...$600,000.”

Seeing that Winslow and the two looked at him slightly strangely, Alejo quickly explained:

“That’s my own money! I’ve saved it over the years!”

Norkwick approached him before and said that as long as he solved this case, he could make a lot of money, and Alejo would definitely be promoted.

Alejo pondered for a while. Considering that Nokvik had almost no mistakes in so many years and was extremely reliable, he finally agreed and lent the other party the funds a week ago.

In addition to Alejo’s $600,000, Nokwick himself spent a large portion of the informant fees he had saved over the years, nearly $400,000.

The two together spent nearly 1 million US dollars, just to solve the big case that Nokwick said.

Winslow looked at Alejo with disbelief:

“You took such a large amount of money, 600,000 US dollars! But you don’t know what case Nokwick is investigating?”

"I really do not know!"

Seeing that Winslow doubted himself, Alejo suddenly had veins bulging out, his face became as ugly as possible, and he said:

“After Nokwick got the $600,000, I lost contact with him!

During this week, I have paid attention to the situation of Nokwick's wife, Maginli! Prevent her from leaving the Federation!

Last night, Nokwick finally sent me a message and agreed to meet me at a certain place.

But I waited for a long time and didn’t get to Nokvik, so I sent him a message to ask about the situation..."

Winslow and Chenelle looked at each other with suspicion on their faces. They still didn’t quite believe Alejo’s explanation. Alejo was so anxious that he was restless and his face turned red.

Luo An narrowed his eyes, picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Through "emotional perception", Luo An determined that the other party was telling the truth. After thinking for a moment, he figured out the entire incident:

A month ago, Nokwick discovered a big case but was unable to investigate it due to lack of money, so he found Alejo.

Because of the large amount, Alejo thought for a long time before agreeing to Nokvik a week ago

After receiving the money, Nokwick told his wife Maginli that he was going out to drive for someone, but he was actually going to investigate the case. Makinli and Alejo lost contact with Nokwick from then on.

Last night, Nokwick, who had been out of contact for a long time, sent a message. It may be that he found some clues, or it may be for other reasons. In short, he asked to meet with Alejo.

But Alejo waited in vain for several hours, because Nokwick was killed in a park next to the Potomac River in the early morning.

“A case that requires US$1 million to be eligible for admission for investigation…”

Luo An put down his coffee cup with a strange look in his eyes, and waved his hands to let Winslow and Chenelle take Alejo out of the conference room.

The door to the conference room was closed, and Veranith's tense and cold face slowly softened, and she asked softly:

“Luo An, what do you think?”

“The case is a bit complicated.”

Roan spread his hands, the private club that Lacey and Chenelle couldn't enter, the one million dollar "case handling fund", and Nokwick's lifeless death, all of which revealed the circumstances behind this matter. Unusual.

How to investigate is Luo An’s job, but should we continue the investigation...

Luo An picked up the coffee pot again, filled Veranith's coffee cup, and then looked at the other person's mature face, silently.

From the perspective of political performance, Luo An guessed that Veranith would not give up this case because she and Mr. Clement needed more credit and interpersonal relationships.

As expected, after pondering for a while, Veranith stood up and said seriously:

“Luo An, this case is handed over to you.”

Luo An nodded, and before he could speak, Veranith whispered in Luo An's ear:

“Mr. Clement was invited to Mr. President’s dinner a few days ago. If you encounter any problems, remember to call.”

“Okay, sir.”

Luo An suddenly laughed, thought for a moment, and said:

“Sir, it’s not convenient for us to investigate that private club.”

“I’ll handle it.”

Vereniss nodded slightly to Luo An, put away the folder and left Investigation Team No. 13.

The door closed, Mona looked up and looked at Luo An:

“What do we do next?”

Luo An pointed at the clock on the wall and said with a smile:

“It’s time to get off work, go home!”
