Legendary FBI Detective

 Chapter 671 The situation behind the case

Ophelia Modlin, 42 years old, was a person sent by the military to work with Luo An’s special investigation team in the case of the missing nuclear warhead.

 Before launching the pursuit operation, Luo An communicated with Ophelia for a moment and found that this woman spoke half-truths and half- lies, and her lies were not drafted, and her expression did not change.

Luo An chose to arrange Ophelia next to him, and he would carefully observe with his team to prevent her from causing trouble at critical moments and harming other agents when she acted with other members of the investigation team.

 Unexpectedly, Chenelle and Lacey disappeared halfway through the investigation.

Asked Ophelia, she still lied and refused to admit that the military was involved, and asked Roan to focus on finding nuclear warheads, Chenille and Lacey were not important.

 So Luo An knocked Ophelia unconscious and stuffed her into the trunk of the SUV. He did this because he didn't want to continue to listen to Ophelia's lies, and he wanted to find someone to save her.

The second reason is just in case. If the military is going to be unfavorable to Chenelle and Lacey, he also has a corresponding hostage counter-threat to delay time and think of a solution.

After negotiating the mines, Captain Joslay released Chenelle and Lacey. Later, in order to continue to search for nuclear warheads, Roan left the SUV with Winslow and asked him to observe the situation on the farm, and after seeing the situation, he released Ophelia. .

Winslow firmly remembered the previous order, but the subsequent words were accidentally suppressed by the fierce battle scene on the farm.

In order to prevent himself from being demoted and dealt with, the superior of the laboratory decided to suppress the matter and seize the time to find the thief who stole the keys and high-enriched uranium and retrieve the lost things.

Selectively ignoring the murderous gaze of the other party, Luo An contacted the military and asked them to send someone to take Ophelia away, rest for a night, and return to Washington, D.C. by plane the next morning.

In the office, Veranith's face was a little ugly, but when Luo An entered the room, her face gradually calmed down, she nodded and said:

Luo An smiled without saying anything, and sat on the chair opposite her as usual. Veranith rummaged through the table and found a folder and handed it to Luo An, saying in a serious tone:

 Only in the black market where items related to nuclear bombs are bought and sold can there be clues to other participants in the market, and the thief who stole the highly enriched uranium can eventually be found and caught.

 It happened that air-to-air missiles from the Cold War era were discovered during this period.

Ophelia did not suffer from conditions such as claustrophobia or fear of the dark, as she had experienced a longer period of confinement training in her youth.

Ophelia is not angry about these, but that people can go without food or water for a short period of time, but internal conflicts must be resolved.

 Knocking on the door and entering the room, Luo An smiled and said:

 “Good morning, sir.”

Luo An was a little surprised and reached out to take the folder. Veranith did not show off and simply explained the cause and effect of the matter with a cold snort.

This kind of thing can delay time, but it cannot fundamentally end it... So the smell on Ophelia's body at this time is very complicated.

 Some time ago, a dozen keys and 3.2 kilograms of highly concentrated uranium were lost in a confidential military laboratory.

Winslow and Chenille returned to the office area of ​​the special investigation team, while Luo An went to Veranith's office in the headquarters building.

　　　…”

 “Good morning, thank you for your hard work on this operation.”

The person in charge planned to have his henchmen take away the nuclear warhead of the air-to-air missile, pretend to be a seller, and go to the underground black market to sell the nuclear warhead to find traces of the thief.

 In the parking lot, Ophelia Modlin, who was released, had a red face, her chest was heaving violently, and her eyes were staring at Luo An and others.

“I have roughly understood the situation on the military side.”

 The treasure-hunting star Mateo is actually the person in charge who contacted him. His plan to switch the real and fake nuclear warheads also has the help of the person in charge.

On the surface, Captain Joslay was sent by the person in charge to "secretly search" for nuclear warheads, but his actual mission was to assist and help. He must ensure that the nuclear warheads were taken away and sold by Mateo, as well as find the thief, arrest the thief, and retrieve the keys. and highly enriched uranium.

As for Luo An and others, the person in charge was just an investigation team that had to be brought in to clarify the formal procedures, because finding things falls within the scope of the FBI's work. Ophelia Modlin is the confidant of the person in charge, sent out to observe Luo An and sabotage the investigation activities of Luo An and others at the appropriate time.

 The plan was perfect. The superiors in charge breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the nuclear warhead to find clues about the thief.

 Then Sobian, who dreamed of Texas being independent, jumped out, first killed Mateo, and then stole the nuclear warhead.

principal:"…"

Just when the person in charge was in a panic and asked his subordinates to deal with Veranis, Luo An made a phone call to the Ministry of National Defense.

 Federal law stipulates that the federal Minister of Defense, Deputy Minister of Defense, and Ministers of the Navy, Army and Air Force must be civilians.

 The Minister of Defense is equal to the Minister of the Armed Services and is a federal official. He has no direct command over the federal military and is only the chief executive.

 As for nuclear-related incidents, the situation is special after all, and the federal Ministry of Defense has the right to investigate and handle it.

Getting information from Luo An, a certain deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense asked his subordinates to check the relevant reports on the air-to-air missile nuclear warhead incident, and found that the actual situation was not consistent with the reported situation.

 Further investigation, the incident of missing keys and high-enriched uranium was quickly exposed.

principal:"…"

Some things cannot be weighed and weigh several thousand kilograms even if they are not weighed. The same applies to the federation.

In addition, there is a lot of turmoil between the Ministry of National Defense and the military system. The loss of nuclear bomb raw materials is also a different kind of excuse. So this matter has now begun to move in other directions, such as the struggle for power and the exchange of interests.

After hearing Veranith’s words, Luo An’s eyelids jumped and he was silent for a while. He raised his head and asked:

“Sir, where did you get this information?”

The things Veranith told were too detailed, but they involved the military, which even the president couldn't get involved in. Luo An really couldn't figure out how she got all this information.

 “Hehehe…”

Veranith crossed her legs, leaned back and crossed her hands, a hint of imperceptible pride flashed in her eyes, and said with a smile:

“Roan, this is Washington, and as we all know, there are no secrets in Washington.”

 Many things are secrets that may never be known to the people of the federal government for a lifetime, but to some people in Washington, DC, they are nothing at all.

 For example, top secret documents in a president’s garage.

The federal army is self-contained and integrated from top to bottom, making it difficult to get the information you want. But the Department of Defense is in Washington, and the people in the Department of Defense are federal government officials.

 Federal government officials are second only to those in the British Empire in their sense of secrecy.

Looking at Veranith with her head held high and a somewhat proud expression, the corner of Luo An's mouth twitched.

I don’t know whether to admire Veranith’s strong connections or lament the federal government personnel’s strong sense of confidentiality.

Throwing these messy thoughts to the back of his mind, Luo An opened the folder in his hand and found that it had nothing to do with the case of the missing nuclear warhead, but a follow-up to the previous explosion.

 Luo An skipped the boring text and moved his eyes down to the end. The $1.4 million above was very conspicuous.

Luo An raised the corners of his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, his cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, and a familiar and charming voice sounded:

“Leader Luo An, I have already helped you, now it’s your turn to help me.”
