Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 510 Luo An’s Analysis, California Medal of Courage

In a fast-moving personnel carrier, the four robbers, whose hands were tightly tied together with silver bracelets, looked angry and stared at Luo An and the three of them and cursed.

“Son of better than eating!”

"Fu-k you!"

Among the four robbers, Joseph, Carter, Ferdinand, and Brooke, Joseph is the main planner and leader of the bank robbery. Now that he is caught, he is the one who has been criticized the most:

"Damn IRS! They violated the agreement! And you damn FBI..."

"Hey, stop scolding."

Winslow and Chenelle, who were sitting next to them, were too lazy to talk to them. Luo An yawned, thought about it, and said with a smile:

"Honestly, you should be thanking us."

"What?"

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Winslow and Chenier subconsciously looked at Luo An in confusion. The four robbers were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes were full of anger and became even more angry:

"伱......"

"Let me analyze it for you."

Before Joseph, Carter, Ferdinand, and Brooke could even curse more fiercely, Luo An began to explain simply.

First, the FBI Special Investigation Team found the traces of the four robbers before the IRS and was ready to arrest them.

It's just that the IRS has a higher priority, so the four robbers were arrested by the IRS before the FBI took action.

The goal of the IRS is only to collect taxes. As long as they get the tax they want, the IRS will let them go, so the four robbers can take the money they robbed from the bank and hand over the tax.

If the FBI takes the first step and arrests the four people, the money the four robbers stole from the bank will be confiscated by the FBI.

The IRS will not change the tax collection from the four robbers, but at this time the money they robbed from the bank has been confiscated by the FBI. The four robbers themselves did not have so much savings, so they could only owe a large sum to the IRS. tax debt.

This money cannot be turned over to the IRS within the specified time, and it will also accrue tax interest. The longer the time, the higher the interest.

"Now you are simply arrested by our FBI, instead of being arrested by our FBI and later owing the IRS a sum of unpaid taxes. While you are in jail, the interest keeps rising."

After explaining, Luo An's face was filled with a sunny smile:

"So, should you thank us?"

"..."xN

As soon as the words fell, the air inside the troop carrier became extremely quiet.

Winslow and Chenelle's faces were full of speechlessness. Joseph and the others had their mouths open but were speechless. They didn't know what to say. The SWAT agents next to them looked at each other and nodded. Arrived new knowledge.

At 7:30 in the evening, a large conference room in the FBI Los Angeles branch building.

Lacey is still hospitalized, and other detectives from the special investigation team, such as Mona, Michelle and others, are upstairs handling the follow-up work of the "gas case" and "bank robbery case".

As the leader of the special investigation team and the main investigator of the [bank robbery], Luo An was once again pulled by Director Nasim and team leader Potente Byrne to participate in this press conference.

"This is an exciting time. Under my leadership, our FBI Los Angeles Division has succeeded..."

Maybe it was because the time between the two cases being solved was very short, maybe it was because Luo An’s performance greatly enhanced his reputation, but Director Nasim was very excited.

He was smiling so hard that his molars almost broke out. He went on stage to speak for more than an hour. The reporters below who couldn't get a word in were twitching at the corners of their mouths. The smile on Luo An's face became stiffer and he could not sit still.

Calmly tilting his head to look at the team leader beside him, Luo An's eyes suddenly flashed with astonishment, because the smile on Potente Byrne's face did not change at all, and even his sitting posture did not change at all.

A flash of admiration flashed through Luo An's heart, and he could only say that he was indeed a man worthy of being the team leader.

"...Thank you, that's all for now."

Another ten minutes passed before Director Nasim finally finished his opening remarks.

Luo An suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to move his buttocks and change his position, Director Nasim suddenly waved his hand, and a female FBI agent who had been waiting outside the door for a long time walked into the conference room carrying a wooden tray.

Seeing the wooden plate held by the female agent, Luo An was slightly stunned. Potente Byrne raised the corner of his mouth slightly, patted Luo An's shoulder lightly, and whispered:

"The director promised your surprise, stand up quickly."

Luo An stood up quickly. Director Nasim nodded with satisfaction. He picked up a red, yellow and blue medal from the wooden plate and introduced it loudly:

"Please allow me, on behalf of the California State Government, the Los Angeles City Government, and the FBI Los Angeles Division, to award this "California Medal of Courage" to the Special Investigation Team who fought bravely for the citizens of Los Angeles, were loyal to their duties, risked their own lives, and continuously solved major cases. Chief, Roan Greenwood!”

Each state in the federation has great autonomy in economic, political and other aspects, and has the right to establish its own law enforcement departments. Therefore, each state also has the power to design and issue various types of medals that are unique to their own state. The California Medal of Courage is one of them.

In the huge state of California, there are not many people who have received this medal. The value of spiritual inspiration is very precious.

"Thank you, Director."

Luo An really didn't guess this before. Director Nasim put a medal on him, patted Luo An's shoulder heavily with a smile on his face, and then the two of them smiled at the reporter, leaving the photo for the flash.

"Leader Greenwood, please say a few words."

"certainly."

Luo An nodded and showed a humble smile to the reporters.

It wasn't that Luo An wanted to be too modest on purpose, but the flashlights of these reporters were so enthusiastic that he really couldn't open his eyes.

Team leader Potente Byrne and Director Nasim hid the news very closely. Luo An really didn't think about the medal before, so he didn't prepare any speech.

However, this kind of thing did not trouble Luo An. He smiled and nodded, and pressed his hands to let him say a few words before taking pictures. He thought for a few seconds. When the enthusiastic flash stopped, Luo An coughed lightly and said:

"First of all, for this honor and this medal, I feel that I deserve it..."

The content is not complicated. Luo An directly changed the speech he gave when he received two FBI medals, changed the names, and moved it here.

After Luo An finished his brief introduction, team leader Potente Byrne stood up:

"I declare that the awarding ceremony is over. Next, we will enter the question and answer session for reporters."

Bang bang bang——

There was a burst of applause, and the press conference continued for more than forty minutes before ending.

In the corridor, Director Nasim walked up to Luo An and helped Luo An simply arrange his clothes and the medal around his neck. He nodded and praised Luo An with a smile, and then took the people out of here first.

"I never thought that the Special Investigation Team would investigate the bank robbery case so quickly."

Potente Byrne, the team leader, reached out and touched the medal on Luo An’s chest, and said with a smile:

"Originally, I wanted to apply for the FBI Medal from the headquarters for you, but you have already received two medals before. There is a high chance that this application will not be approved, so the director applied for this California Medal of Courage for you."

"Thank you, sir. I like this medal very much."

Luo An grinned, this was what he meant.

The previous two FBI medals each had an accompanying bonus of US$40,000. Luo An received a total of US$80,000, and the California government's "Medal of Courage" had an accompanying bonus of US$50,000.

The two walked into the team leader's office. Potente Byrne picked up a folder on the desk and handed it to Luo An, smiling:

"This is a reward for a wanted criminal and a thank you payment from First Republic Bank of California."

Francisco, one of the most wanted criminals, died at the hands of CIA Cochran, who left privately, so there is no bounty for him in the folder.

After opening the folder and briefly checking, Luo An discovered that the reward for each of the Pollard brothers was as high as 340,000 US dollars, which added up to 680,000 US dollars.

The bank paid the special investigation team a thank you payment of $800,000, which was part of the funds that the group of bank robbers took but were recovered by the FBI and IRS.
