Legendary FBI Detective

"Hello, Chief."

Luo An smiled and greeted Vireness.

Vireness nodded with a slight smile, feeling that Luo An, who wore three medals on his chest, seemed even more handsome.

After a brief chat, Luo An then learned from Vireness that not only were the medals a symbol of honor, they also came with bonus money!

Each member of Unit Five received a $10,000 bonus for the group award medal.

The FBI Medal of Valor and the FBI Medal of Merit each had a bonus of $40,000.

Meaning, Luo An not only earned three medals, but also a bonus of $90,000.

After Vireness and Luo An talked for a while, she turned and left. Seeing this, Agent Norton, Agent Nair, and others quickly gathered around.

After some joking around, they set a time and place for a dinner together on Tuesday night.

Tonight was not possible, because it was Unit Five's dinner gathering.

------------

Unit Five, office area.

Just as the agents were noisily discussing tonight's dinner location and what kind of food to have in the office area, Augustus suddenly entered the team leader's office with a solemn expression.

Seeing Augustus' face, the noise in Unit Five's office area quickly subsided.

Without any fuss, Augustus handed out the documents to everyone:

"Folks, we've got a new case."

Reesi and William and others wailed in dismay, it seemed that dinner tonight was off the cards.

Once the documents were distributed to every agent, Augustus solemnly introduced in a loud voice:

"Pay attention, everyone, this case is not going to be easy.

Last night, the Federal National Broadcasting Company's (NBC) news channel host Paul Blake was found dead in his home.

His death was particularly gruesome; he was stabbed multiple times in the chest by the perpetrator, and his genitals were also severed."

"Hisss—"

Upon hearing this, Luo An, Reesi, William, and other male agents inhaled sharply.

Augustus, with a tremble in the corner of his mouth, changed his stance and continued:

"Not only that, Paul Blake's cousin, Kelton Blake, who was staying at his house that night, was also attacked by the perpetrator.

Unfortunately, his genitals were also cut off by the perpetrator.

Luckily, when the police arrived at the scene, Kelton Blake was not completely dead and is currently undergoing emergency treatment at the hospital."

At this point, Reesi raised her right hand and asked:

"Who called the police? The community security?"

"No."

Augustus shook his head and closed the folder in his hand:

"The person who called the police was Paul Blake's nine-year-old daughter.

She was hidden under the bed by Kelton Blake when the incident happened."

Hearing this, the faces of all the agents in Unit Five turned grim.

The image of her father being killed in front of her, a shadow filled with bloodshed, was likely to loom over the little girl for a lifetime.

"The reason this case was handed to us is because there are two other victims who died in the same manner as Paul Blake.

This is a serial murder case."

Augustus took out two more folders from behind and handed them to the agents, saying:

"The first victim was real estate broker Osman Chet, who died half a month ago at his home.

The second victim was the owner of a certain hotel, Hogan Jamie, who died 10 days ago, also at his home.

The manner of death of both of these men was the same as Paul Blake's; they were repeatedly stabbed in the chest and had their genitals severed."

"All three victims were wealthy."

After reviewing the information in her hands, Mona said thoughtfully:

"And all three lived in townhouses in upscale communities."

"That's right, three wealthy individuals, killed at home with a knife."

Augustus nodded and then turned to look at Luo An:

"Luo An, it's up to you now."

"OK."

Throwing the folder aside, Luo An picked up the coffee on the desk and drained it in one gulp, saying:

"Leid, go to the forensics department and have them check the wounds on the three bodies carefully to determine the killer's habits, and whether the same person committed all the crimes.

Mona, you and William carefully investigate the personal information of these four victims, focusing on their relationship status, and whether they have any experience in paying for pleasure.

If so, who served them, and whether any conflict existed between them."

The private parts of all four victims were mutilated, the killer's motive was definitely related to sex or the bed.

"No problem."

William nodded in agreement, and Mona, while tapping on her keyboard, asked:

"Do we need to investigate Kelton Blake as well? It feels like he was just implicated by his own cousin."

Luo An shook his head:

"It's better to investigate. You can never be sure with these things."

"OK, I'll listen to you."

Mona didn't say anything more, just typed more rapidly on the keyboard.

Augustus saw everyone getting busy, nodded in approval, then pulled out a car key from his pocket and threw it to Luo An:

"This is a new vehicle that I just got for our Unit 5 a few days ago, be careful driving it."

Snap!

Hearing this, Luo An, catching the keys, brightened up:

"Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely drive carefully!"

Ten minutes later, Luo An, driving a brand new SUV, zoomed out of the parking lot like lightning and started overtaking on curves in the streets of New York.

Seeing Luo An's delighted face, Reesi, sitting in the passenger seat, just shut her eyes and clutched her seatbelt tightly.

She planned to make a betting pool with the members of Unit 5 later on, betting on how long the SUV would last under Luo An's hands.

Augustus: "..."

————

It didn't take long for Luo An and Reesi to arrive at the home of the victim Paul Blake.

Getting out of the car, Luo An patted the SUV's front hood and smiled:

"This car is really nice!"

"Yeah, it should be enough for you to cause trouble for a while."

Reesi got out of the co-driver's side and rolled her eyes, stretching out her hand to greet the approaching NYPD officer:

"Hello, Agent Reesi from FBI Unit 5."

"Hello, Agent Reesi, my name is Chuck."

Chuck's eyes lit up upon hearing this, then turned to look at Luo An:

"Then you must be Deputy Group Leader Luo An Greenwood from Unit 5, I've heard about you from Detective Walton."

Due to his recent performance, Luo An had become quite a celebrity among various law enforcement departments in New York.

"Hello, Officer Chuck."

Luo An smiled and had a short chat with him, then redirected the conversation to the case:

"Does this house have a security system?"

"The house does, but it hasn't been fully installed yet."

Chuck led the two into the villa, explaining:

"The victim had just moved in here not long ago, the place is still being renovated, and there are a lot of workers coming in and out during the day."

Luo An walked to the backdoor of the villa, looked down, and examined it for a few seconds, frowning:

"There are pry marks around the lock; it seems the killer picked the lock to get into the room."

Reesi looked down, nodded, and Luo An continued to inquire:

"What's the status of Paul Blake's daughter now?"

"Paul Blake's ex-wife has already arrived, and she's staying upstairs in the bedroom with her daughter."

"OK"

Exchanging a glance with Reesi, Luo An immediately got up and went to the upstairs bedroom.

As the victim's ex-wife, she should know something about Paul Blake's romantic life.
