Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 510 Roan’s Analysis, California Medal of Courage

In a fast-moving personnel carrier, the four robbers, whose hands were tightly tied together with silver bracelets, looked angry and stared at Luo An and the three of them and cursed.

 “Sonof better than eating!”

 “Fu-kyou!”

 Among the four robbers, Joseph, Carter, Ferdinand, and Brooke, Joseph is the main planner and leader of the bank robbery. Now that he is caught, he is the most criticized:

　　"Damn IRS! They violated the agreement! And you **** FBI..."

 “Hey, stop scolding.”

Winslow and Chenelle, who were sitting next to them, were too lazy to pay attention to them. Roan yawned, thought for a while, and said with a smile:

 “Honestly, you should be thanking us.”

 “What?”

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Winslow and Chenier subconsciously looked at Luo An in confusion. The four robbers were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes were full of anger and became even more angry:

 “Let me analyze it for you.”

 Before Joseph, Carter, Ferdinand, and Brooke could even curse more fiercely, Luo An began to explain simply.

 First of all, their FBI special investigation team found the traces of the four robbers before the IRS and was ready to arrest them.

 It’s just that the IRS has a higher priority, so the four robbers were arrested by the IRS before the FBI took action.

The goal of the IRS is only to collect taxes. As long as they get the tax they want, the IRS will let them go, so the four robbers can use the money they robbed from the bank to hand over the tax.

If the FBI takes the first step to arrest the four people, the money the four robbers stole from the bank will be confiscated by the FBI.

The IRS will not change the tax collection from the four robbers, but at this time the money they robbed from the bank has been confiscated by the FBI. The four robbers themselves did not have so much savings, so they could only owe a large sum to the IRS. tax debt.

This money cannot be turned over to the IRS within the specified time, and it will also accrue tax interest. The longer the time, the higher the interest.

“You are simply arrested by the FBI now, instead of being arrested by the FBI and then owing the IRS a sum of unpaid taxes. While you are in jail, the interest keeps rising.”

 After explaining, Luo An’s face was filled with a sunny smile:

“So, should you thank us?”

  “…”xN

 As soon as the words fell, the air inside the troop carrier became extremely quiet.

Winslow and Chenelle's faces were full of speechlessness. Joseph and the others had their mouths open but could not speak. They didn't know what to say. Several SWAT agents next to them looked at each other and nodded, and then imitated Arrived new knowledge.

　　——

At seven thirty in the evening, a large conference room in the FBI Los Angeles branch building.

Lacie is still hospitalized, and other detectives from the Special Investigation Team, such as Mona, Michelle and others, are upstairs handling the follow-up work of the [Gas Case] ​​and [Bank Robbery Case].

Roan, as the leader of the Special Investigation Team and the main investigator of the [bank robbery case], was once again pulled by Director Nasim and team leader Potente Byrne to participate in this press conference.

"This is an exciting time. Under my leadership, our FBI Los Angeles Division has successfully..."

 Perhaps it was because the time between the two cases being solved was very short, or perhaps because Luo An’s performance greatly increased his face. In short, Director Nasim was very excited.

 He ​​was smiling so hard that his molars almost broke out. He spoke on stage for more than an hour. The reporters below who couldn't get a word in were twitching at the corners of their mouths. The smile on Luo An's face became stiffer and he could not sit still.

Roan calmly tilted his head and looked at the team leader beside him. A flash of surprise suddenly flashed in Luo An's eyes, because the smile on Potente Byrne's face did not change at all, and even his sitting posture did not change at all.

Luo An felt a flash of admiration in his heart, and he could only say that he was indeed a man worthy of being the team leader.

“…Thank you, that’s all for now.”

Another ten minutes passed, and Director Nasim finally finished his opening remarks.

 Luo An was slightly relieved. When he was about to move his buttocks and change his posture, Director Nasim suddenly waved his hand, and a female FBI agent who had been waiting outside the door for a long time walked into the conference room carrying a wooden tray.

Seeing the wooden plate held by the female agent, Luo An was slightly stunned. Potente-Bourne raised the corner of his mouth slightly, patted Luo An's shoulder lightly, and whispered: "The director promised your surprise, stand up quickly." stand up."

Luo An stood up quickly. Director Nasim nodded with satisfaction. He picked up a red, yellow and blue medal from the wooden plate and introduced it loudly:

"Please allow me, on behalf of the California State Government, the Los Angeles City Government, and the FBI Los Angeles Division, to award this "California Medal of Courage" to the Special Investigation Team who fought bravely for the citizens of Los Angeles, were loyal to their duties, risked their own lives, and continuously solved major cases. Chief, Roan Greenwood!"

 The states of the federation have great autonomy in economic, political and other aspects. They have the right to establish their own law enforcement departments. Therefore, each state also has the power to design and issue various types of medals that are unique to their own states. The California Medal of Courage is one of them.

 In the huge state of California, there are not many people who have received this medal. The value of spiritual inspiration is very precious.

 “Thank you, Director.”

Luo An really didn’t guess this before. Director Nasim put a medal on him, patted Luo An on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and then the two of them made smiles to the reporters, posing for the flash.

 “Leader Greenwood, please say a few words.”

"certainly."

 Luo An nodded and showed a humble smile to the reporters.

It wasn't that Luo An wanted to be too modest on purpose, but the flashlights of these reporters were so enthusiastic that he really couldn't open his eyes.

Team Director Potente Byrne and Director Nasim hid the news very closely. Luo An really didn’t think about the medal before, so he didn’t prepare any speeches.

However, this kind of thing did not trouble Luo An. He smiled and nodded, and pressed his hands to let him say a few words before taking pictures. He thought for a few seconds. When the enthusiastic flash stopped, Luo An coughed lightly and said:

“First of all, I feel worthy of this honor and this medal...”

The content is not complicated. Luo An directly changed the speech he gave when he won two FBI medals and moved it here.

After Roan finished his brief introduction, team leader Potente Byrne stood up:

"I declare that the awarding ceremony is over. Next, we will enter the question and answer session for reporters."

 Papa pa pa—

There was a burst of applause, and the press conference continued for more than 40 minutes before it ended.

In the corridor, Director Nasim walked up to Luo An, helped Luo An simply arrange his clothes and the medal around his neck, nodded and praised Luo An with a smile, and took the lead to leave the place.

“I didn’t expect that the Special Investigation Team would investigate the bank robbery case so quickly.”

Potente Byrne, the team leader, reached out and touched the medal on Luo An’s chest, and said with a smile:

“Originally, I wanted to apply for the FBI Medal from the headquarters for you, but you have already received two medals before. There is a high chance that this application will not be approved, so the director applied for this California Medal of Courage for you.”

 “Thank you, sir, I like this medal very much.”

 Luo An grinned, this was what he meant.

 The two previous FBI medals each had an accompanying bonus of $40,000. Luo An received a total of $80,000, and the California government's "Medal of Courage" had an accompanying bonus of $50,000.

The two walked into the team leader's office. Potente-Byrne picked up a folder on the desk and handed it to Luo An, smiling:

“This is a reward for a wanted criminal and a thank you payment from First Republic Bank of California.”

 Francisco, one of the most wanted criminals, died at the hands of CIA Cochran, who left privately, so there is no reward for him in the folder.

  Opening the folder and checking briefly, Luo An found that the reward for each of the Pollard brothers was as high as 340,000 US dollars, which added up to 680,000 US dollars.

The bank paid the Special Investigation Team $800,000 as a thank you, which was part of the money that the group of bank robbers took but was recovered by the FBI and IRS.

The robbers: “…”
