Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 154: How Tight Is Very Tight?

Seeing the pleading look in Mona and Reesi's eyes, Luo An sat down heavily on the chair.

"You need to know something."

Picking up a folder from the desk, Luo An looked at the two women in front of him and said solemnly:

"It's a serial murder case."

Hearing Luo An's words, Mona and Reesi were initially stunned, then their faces simultaneously turned pale.

Yes, it was a serial murder case.

In a previous era, 2020, America's homicide clearance rate was only 54%.

Not to mention the clearance rate for serial murder cases.

The current year was still 2005, and the level of technology and equipment was far inferior to that time.

Reesi and Mona might not know the future situation, but they also knew how difficult it is to solve a serial murder case.

Each serial murder case solved either made the New York news or entered into the FBI's internal textbooks.

After the last "Lake Bottom Corpse Case" was solved, several New York City media outlets sent interview requests to Luo An of the Number Five Investigative Team, wanting to get him on television.

But Luo An just wanted to make money quietly and didn't want to attract a bunch of lunatics and perverts by becoming famous, so he refused them.

Even so, the case ultimately attracted the attention of some people in charge of managing case files within the FBI.

This case was very likely to enter the FBI Training Academy's textbooks in the future.

It's just that the procedure was troublesome, so who knew how long it would take.

Everyone in the Number Five Investigative Team knew about this, and of course, Mona and Reesi did too.

But because Luo An had been solving cases brilliantly recently, magically raising his case-solving rate to 100% after joining the Number Five Investigative Team, Mona and Reesi always thought of Luo An when a case came up.

The two of them had subconsciously ignored the difficulty of serial murder cases, believing that as long as Luo An took on the case, there would be no cases he couldn't solve.

It was only after hearing Luo An's reminder that Mona and Reesi remembered that Luo An could not guarantee solving every case.

"Sorry."

Realizing this, although a hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Reesi and Mona, they still apologized to Luo An.

The two of them only felt sympathy and outrage for Philomena's plight because they were women, so they subconsciously hoped Luo An would take on this case.

"No need to apologize."

Luo An waved his hand, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and his lips curled slightly:

"I'm planning to go and talk to Augustus in a moment, and then take on this serial murder case."

Hearing this, Reesi, who had picked up her coat and was preparing to leave the office area to apply for a search warrant, suddenly turned her head in surprise.

Mona, who was revisiting the data, also mis-typed several letters upon hearing this and looked at Luo An in astonishment with her face full of surprise.

Seeing the smile on Luo An's face, Mona realized that Luo An had just been teasing her and rolled her eyes, then slapped Luo An's arm heavily.

Luo An, very pleased with himself, chuckled and handed the folder in his hand to the two women:

"The data shows that the NYPD hasn't handed this serial murder case over to any FBI investigative team yet."

With this, there would be no issue of conflict arising from fighting over the case with other investigative teams.

Not only that, the place where the bodies were discovered was on the south side of Long Island, where the government had originally planned for development.

But now, due to the serial murder case involving a total of 22 bodies, the development plan was forcibly halted; out of urgency, the government offered a public reward of $200,000 to capture the real culprit of this case.

With Salbato Cristo's name and profession, Mona quickly found his current location.

Having obtained the exact location, a fully equipped Luo An and Leixidun did not hesitate and immediately set out with a squad of SWAT officers to arrest Salbato Cristo.

The place where Salbato Cristo was located was at a private plane apron in a New York Suburb; when Luo An and Leixidun arrived, Salbato was just about to board a small private plane.

A SWAT team member parked the car at the very front of the small private plane, blocking the path the plane could take.

Laid and the rest of the SWAT team members immediately ran out of the car once it stopped, raising their rifles and aiming them at Salbato-Cristo while loudly shouting:

"Don't move!"

Standing in the middle of the private plane's staircase, Salbato-Cristo saw the fully armed SWAT team members looking extremely grim.

Just then, Luo An also drove an SUV, blocking the rear of the private plane.

Strolling up to Salbato-Cristo, who was now at gunpoint by Laid, Luo An pulled out handcuffs and cuffed his wrists, saying emotionlessly:

"Congratulations, Mr. Cristo, for the next few decades, you won't need to catch a plane."

Upon hearing this, Salbato-Cristo's face turned ashen.

The next day, in the Fifth Investigation Team.

"Luo An, this is a gift that Philomena asked me to bring to you."

Early in the morning, as soon as Luo An sat down at his desk, Reesi approached with a bright smile, carrying a small box.

Hearing Reesi's words, Luo An, who was about to stretch, paused mid-motion and cocked his head to ask:

"A gift? What do you mean?"

"Exactly as it sounds."

Placing the small box on Luo An's desk, Reesi replied with a smile:

"Salbato-Cristo offended too many people, and he has many cases against him. Previously, due to the lack of evidence, we couldn't arrest him.

After arresting him this time, following discussions with the prosecutor, as the most important witness, Philomena successfully joined the Witness Protection Program.

Once this case is concluded, Philomena will change her name and identity and move to another city within the Federation to live incognito for the rest of her life, also getting an opportunity to bring her parents to the Federation.

So, to express her gratitude, Philomena specifically prepared this gift for you."

Opening the box on the desk, inside was a silver-colored men's watch, whose value was evident at first glance.

When Luo An saw it, he raised his eyebrow in contemplation for a moment, then cocked his head and asked:

"I plan to take on the case about her sister's serial murder. Did you tell Philomena about this?"

"Of course not!"

Upon hearing Luo An's words, Reesi immediately rolled her eyes.

She is not one to speak out of turn, let alone the fact that the case hadn't been transferred to Unit Five yet. And even if it had been transferred, regarding any matters concerning the case itself, Reesi wouldn't divulge anything.

Reesi put her hands on her hips, smirking disparagingly:

"My lips are sealed!"

"..."

How sealed are they?

Luo An raised an eyebrow and then quickly shook his head, casting aside the clutter of thoughts in his mind.

Picking up the silver watch to take a closer look, Luo An contemplated for a moment, and a slow smile appeared on his face.

Having been a model for so many years and having mingled so often with those old guys on Wall Street, Philomena still had some tricks up her sleeve.

On the surface, this watch was a thank-you gift from Philomena.

But in actuality, it was probably Philomena's way of requesting Luo An to take on the serial murder case by the seaside pit.

Shaking his head, Luo An placed the watch back into the box and was just about to stretch again when suddenly Augustus, with his big belly, pushed open the door of Unit Five and walked in:

"Luo An, come to my office!"

Luo An: "…"
