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-falsehoods, and her lies were not drafted, and her expression remained unchanged.

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, in the middle of the investigation, Chenelle and Lacey disappeared.

When asked about 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 is just in case, if the military is going to be detrimental to Chenille and Lacey, he also has corresponding hostage counter-threats 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 remembered the previous order firmly, but the subsequent words were accidentally suppressed by the fierce battle scene on the farm.

"..."

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

"Good morning, sir."

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

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

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:

"I have roughly figured out the situation on the military side."

Luo An reached out and took the folder in surprise. Veranith did not show off and simply explained the cause and effect of the matter with a cold snort.

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

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

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

The person in charge planned to have his cronies 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 the traces of the thief.

Only the black market for buying and selling nuclear bomb-related items can lead to clues from other participants in the market, and the thief who stole the high-enriched uranium can finally be found and caught.

The new treasure-hunting star Mateo is actually the helper contacted by the person in charge. His plan to switch 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, it was just the investigation team that the person in charge had to bring in to clear up the formal procedures, because finding things was 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 right time.

The plan was perfect, and the superiors breathed a long sigh of relief, waiting for the nuclear warhead to fish out the clues about the thief.

Then Sobian, who dreamed of Texas being independent, jumped out, first killed Matteo, 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 called 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.

Nuclear-related incidents are, after all, special circumstances, and the federal Department of Defense has the right to investigate and handle them.

After receiving 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 inconsistent with the reported situation.

Investigating further, the incident of missing keys and high-enriched uranium was quickly exposed.

principal:"……"

There are some things that cannot be weighed, and weigh several thousand kilograms. 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 handle. So this matter has now begun to move in other directions, such as the struggle for power and the exchange of interests.

After listening to 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 when it came to the military, which 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. As we all know, there are no secrets in Washington."

Many things are secrets that can 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.

Such as the 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' sense of secrecy is second only to those in the British Empire.

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 was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button and a familiar charming voice sounded:

"Team Leader Luo An, I've already helped you, now it's your turn to help me."
