Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 262: Evidence Ready, Prepare to Arrest

Los Angeles's specific situation is something Luo An is still unclear about, but if he goes there with the fame of having just solved a major case, he will definitely face less resistance.

As soon as Luo An spoke, Vireness, who was no stranger to political tactics, immediately understood his plan.

"I was just promoted to Special Agent in Charge not long ago, and it's impossible for me to get promoted again in the short term.

However, the bigger the case I solve, the greater the impact it will have on my future promotions."

Vireness also crossed her legs, her eyes narrowed slightly as she pondered and spoke:

"So, actually, for the press conference after this case, we could invite even more media reporters."

Upon hearing this, Luo An's mouth twitched, Vireness clearly had gotten used to holding press conferences, and subconsciously wanted to organize one at every opportunity.

But in reality, the press conference would have limited effect. Thinking of this, Luo An didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"Chief, according to federal law, child abuse is a felony, but these incidents are still happening quite frequently.

As an FBI agent, I think it's necessary to inform the public to strengthen their awareness and protect their own children. This needs to be heavily publicized!

Coincidentally, we have a malicious case involving children on hand. We can make it crystal clear to the media and the public how determined the FBI is to fight this type of crime, and at the same time, heavily crack down on the arrogance of criminals of the same type..."

Luo An spoke eloquently, but actually, he could have made his point clear in just one sentence:

Publicity, publicity, and more *** publicity!

Especially since Vireness is a woman, she has a natural advantage in handling child crimes, which can not only clearly showcase her determination in law enforcement but also help her accumulate substantial experience within the FBI.

If she can also have a higher-ranking officer come out to speak and express determination and support, that would be even better.

After listening to Luo An's description, which cleverly implied the subtext, Vireness's eyes instantly became incredibly bright.

Honestly, what Luo An talked about wasn't particularly complex or new, and Vireness also understood the importance of publicity, which is why she always held press conferences to answer questions from reporters.

But it is 2005 after all, and the future widespread methods of news bombardment hadn't particularly hit yet, so Luo An's words undeniably opened up a whole new world for Vireness.

Seeing Luo An unconsciously swallow, Vireness's eyes sparkled, but her expression became very serious as she said solemnly:

"Thank you for your suggestion, I think your idea is very useful.

The detailed execution of this case will be handled by you, remember to contact me immediately if you encounter any difficulties! I will help you solve any problems that arise."

"Okay, Chief."

Seeing the completely satisfied gleam in Vireness's eyes, and her already somewhat impatient hands, Luo An chuckled and, after a brief chat, got up and left the office.

This maneuver was not just Luo An putting in effort without benefits.

Besides reducing resistance from the Los Angeles side, Luo An could also make a good amount of money.

After all, the larger the cake, the bigger Luo An's share would be.

"I wonder how much the bonus for this case will be."

Carrying a file folder and smiling, Luo An walked back to Group Five.

As he just got back to his own desk, Mona turned her head to Luo An:

"Luo An, I've successfully registered as a VIP member on that travel agency's website, it cost me 200 US Dollars!"

"Wow, that's expensive."

Luo An commented emotionlessly before moving his chair closer to Mona and asking:

"What exactly are these VIP-only travel packages about?"

Mona's fingers flew over the keyboard, making a disgusted face as she said:

"The travel company describes it as a 'dream journey'."

"But the specific content of the trip requires submitting an application first. Then, one has to bring the application documents and personal identification to the office of the 'Dream Travel' company and discuss it in detail with the boss."

"Really cautious indeed."

Luo An clicked his tongue and did not ask Mona to submit the application right away. Instead, he had Mona try to see if she could find all the registered members through that website.

Time quickly moved to the afternoon, and Reesi and Reed also returned to Investigation Team No. 5.

"Our Doctor Carl is a very cautious doctor, but his friends at the immigration bureau are not very attentive to details."

Reesi attached a document to the whiteboard at the front of the office area and turned around with a smile:

"These are the fake visas we found at the immigration bureau; the three little boys adopted by Doctor Carl all came from South America."

"Good, it looks like we have a reason to arrest Doctor Carl."

Luo An checked off his notebook, then turned to look at William and other technical agents.

"We mainly looked into Vincent's financial situation and recent itinerary."

William stepped forward, pinned several forms and photos onto the whiteboard, and said:

"This deputy mayor's son goes to South America or South Asia several times a year, each time withdrawing a small amount of money from his account.

According to information from the Department of Homeland Security, this money eventually went into the hands of a trafficker who transports illegal immigrants across the border.

The amounts match the price of smuggling two to four children into the states."

Reesi folded her arms, raising an eyebrow:

"So you mean to say Vincent is actually involved in smuggling little boys?"

"Exactly."

Luo An continued to scribble in his notebook, then looked towards Mona:

"How's your investigation going?"

"I've almost found all the VIP clients at the travel company, and have listed their names."

Mona visibly disgusted, then added:

"Also, I've found the details of this so-called 'Dream Journey' in one of the VIP clients' computers."

The main content involved the 'Dream Travel' company bringing VIP clients who have specific needs on an airplane, traveling to South America or South Asia, and then showing them little boys or little girls in a certain hotel.

After the activities, if the VIP clients wished to continue, they could pay to purchase these children. 'Dream Travel' company would then transport these children back to the federation.

"F**K!"

"Son of a b**ch!"

"What a bunch of b*stards!"

After listening to Mona's briefing, all the agents from Investigation Team No. 5 started swearing loudly.

"That means the travel agency's boss, Dawer, is responsible for contacting VIP clients and arranging the schedule. The mayor's younger son, Vincent, handles official relationships and child smuggling. Doctor Carl takes care of the children and performs health examinations on them."

Luo An quickly clarified the division of responsibilities among the three individuals.

Hearing this, the agents of Investigation Team No. 5 had grim expressions. Reed, not wanting to waste words, directly turned to Luo An and asked:

"Luo An, what do we do next?"

"The evidence is almost ready; of course, it's time to arrest them."

Luo An closed his notebook, threw it casually onto his desk, and said with a cold laugh:

"However, for the sake of procedural justice, we can make this arrest slightly special, such as arresting them red-handed!"
