Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 534 Special Investigation Team→Investigation Team No. 13

 A luxurious villa, study room.

 It is very impolite for the study door to be pushed open without the owner's permission.

But Trick Kennedy seemed to be used to this. The moment the door was pushed open, his first reaction was not to be angry, but to quickly put out the cigar in his hand.

The white man who entered the room was wearing a black slightly striped suit. His hair was half black and half white, with a slicked back hairdo. He was about fifty years old.

Seeing the smoke-filled study and the action of Trick Kennedy busy putting out his cigar, the old white man snorted coldly, and then stretched out his hand to Luo An with a serious face:

　　"You must be Luo An, I am Trik's father."

A flash of light flashed in Luo An's eyes, he stood up and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party.

Before being invited to this villa tonight, Luo An asked Mona to briefly check the family relationship of Trick Kennedy, so she knew something about Trick Kennedy's father.

 Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, is the fourth generation politician of the Kennedy family.

 “Hello, Mr. Kennedy.”

Luo An smiled, neither humble nor overbearing, and exchanged a few simple greetings with the other party:

"Nice to meet you."

 “Please sit down.”

Robert Kennedy Jr. always looked very serious. He waved his hand for Luo An to sit on the sofa with him. He ignored Trick Kennedy and said:

“I heard about Team Leader Luo An’s experience in solving crimes. He was very impressive. Among the young people I know, it is very rare for someone as outstanding as you to be.”

"Thanks."

Luo An was not modest and simply followed the federal tradition and agreed with a smile and nod.

Seeing this, Robert Kennedy Jr. flashed a flash of approval in his eyes. After a few simple chats, he changed the topic to the federal political parties:

“What does Leader Luo An think of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party?”

 “One is an arms dealer and the other is a tobacco dealer.”

Roan made a mocking reference to the two parties from a federalist, spread his hands, and said:

“I work for the FBI, which is loyal to the federal government and non-partisan.”

Luo An has always had little interest in the various parties in the federation. It happened that the FBI also had such regulations, so he took the opportunity to answer the other party's questions.

 “Good.”

Hearing Luo An's answer, Robert Kennedy Jr. had a strange look on his face but it quickly disappeared, and then chatted with Luo An about other issues.

Luo An, who was keenly observant, saw the change in the other party's expression for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged as if nothing had happened, and he continued to discuss various federal topics with the other party.

After chatting for a while, Robert Kennedy Jr. said that he still had things to do. He stood up and shook hands with Luo An again. He walked aside with Trick Kennedy and briefly communicated in a low voice before leaving the study.

He was originally the host but became a spectator. Trick Kennedy, who was sitting next to him and barely spoke a moment ago, stood by the study window to confirm that his father had really left in the car. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and regained the smile on his face. He laughed at himself:

 “My father looks scary, doesn’t he?”

 Luo An smiled and did not answer, picked up the lighter and cigar on the table, and asked:

"continue?"

"certainly!"

Trick Kennedy took the cigar from Luo An, then found a bottle of wine from behind the bookcase and said with a smile:

 “This time with a bottle of rum!”

Took the goblet and took a sip of the strong rum. The spicy taste filled his lips and teeth, and Luo An's eyes suddenly lit up.

Trick took a sip of wine and a cigar, took a few deep breaths, and relaxed a lot.

 “Where were we talking about before? By the way, it’s about the organization.”

The air in the study was quiet for a moment. Trick patted his head and said:

“Those guys who are full of cat **** have decided to cancel the establishment of ten special investigation teams and let them return to the original numbered investigation teams.”

The expression on Luo An's face did not change at all, and he even picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Trick.

Trick raised his eyebrows after clinking wine glasses with Luo An: "You don't seem worried?"

“I believe tonight’s dinner invitation is definitely not a bad news conference.”

Luo An took a sip of the rum in the glass and said with a smile:

 “Isn’t it?”

"Hahaha…"

Trick laughed loudly, drank all the rum in his glass, and said:

“At the FBI’s Washington headquarters, there are twelve numbered investigation teams under the Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Divisions.

The day before yesterday, the department established a new investigation team No. 13. The leader of the team has been selected. The name on the document is Roan Greenwood, who will take up the post in two months. "

Luo An raised the corners of his mouth:

 “Thank you, sir.”

"no need to thank me."

Trick waved his hand and explained:

“I am only the deputy secretary of the Internal Threat Office and do not have the authority to establish Investigation Team 13.”

Luo An nodded clearly, explaining that this investigation team was promoted by Mr. Clement. It seemed that he would need to go to Mr. Clement’s office a few more times.

"And one more thing."

Trick took a few sips of wine, suddenly reached out and patted Luo An on the shoulder, and whispered:

“Luo An, the investigation fee you reported before was too small.”

Luo An thought about it carefully and realized that the other party was talking about the [Death Case of Minister Alexander]. After the case was over, the headquarters would reimburse him for the investigation expenses he reported.

Out of caution, Luo An did not do anything when reporting this expense. Even so, the expense exceeded US$80,000.

"too low!"

Trick waved his hands repeatedly:

“The other twelve investigation teams spend no less than 200,000 US dollars each time they go out to investigate a case! Some even cost as much as one million US dollars!

You led the special investigation team this time and worked so hard to investigate the [Minister Alexander case], but only spent so much money. You must have underreported a lot of accounts! "

　　　…”

Luo An's hand holding the wine glass trembled, his eyelids twitched, and he was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.

The meaning of Trick's words is not difficult to understand. Luo An only reported a small amount of expenses, which will definitely attract the attention and dissatisfaction of the other twelve investigation teams and superiors:

Everyone takes it, but you don’t. What do you mean?

Thinking of the well-known "revolving door of politics and business" in the Federation, Luo An secretly sighed:

As expected of a capitalist country, people like these in the headquarters are making money legally.

Trick reached out and patted Luo An on the shoulder and said with a smile:

“The accounts you reported are probably missing about $300,000. Like other investigation teams, Mr. Clement and I have helped you make up for it.”

Luo An was silent for a few seconds without saying anything. He picked up the wine glass, touched it with Trick, and asked:

“I am transferred to the headquarters, who is my superior?”

“The Minister of Crime, Cyber, Response and Services, named Stacey, is 48 years old. You don’t have to worry.”

Trick took a deep breath of the cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said:

“Verenice, who is from the FBI New York branch and the team leader of the same department, will be transferred to the headquarters in half a month due to her rich work experience.

Her position is Minister Stacy’s work assistant, responsible for the handover of the work of the No. 12 and No. 13 Investigation Teams. "

 From a nominal point of view, Luo An is still just the leader of the investigation team, and his level is still a supervisory special agent. His job level has not been improved, and his work content has not changed. He is still investigating and handling cases.

  However, the head of the investigation team at the headquarters is definitely different from the leader of the investigation team at the branch.

Each local branch of the FBI, under the crime, network, response and services department, has established multiple departments according to different types of work, such as the Criminal Investigation Department, the Major Matters Response Team, the Internet Department, the International Operations Department, and the Victim Services Department.

 But at the FBI headquarters in Washington, under the criminal, cyber, response and services divisions, there are only twelve...thirteen investigative teams, not those divisions.

Moreover, the investigation scope of these investigation teams has also expanded from cities and states to Washington, D.C., and the entire federal government!

A flash of light flashed in Luo An's eyes, he suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, and then asked:

“Sir, what will happen to the case-handling funds that were originally handled by the special investigation team after they are transferred to the headquarters?”
