Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 108: Security Consultant and Case Closure
Opening the folder, there was a contract certification inside.
"This is?"
Luo An tilted his head towards Vireness, puzzled.
"This is from those banks that were robbed, planning to employ FBI internal personnel as their 'Security Advisor' through this contract."
Upon hearing Luo An's query, Vireness's lips slightly raised, she uncrossed her legs, leaned forward and said:
"When these banks learned about Broson's public resume and his experience in solving cases over the years, they believed that it wouldn't be a difficult task for Broson to solve the case within the set time frame.
Hence, after having a brief talk with the special agent in charge, Kobert, the banks planned to employ Broson as the security advisor after the case was solved."
Upon hearing the word 'advisor', Luo An smirked and raised his eyebrows.
In America, besides the wondrous "legal political donations," there is another phenomenon called "the revolving door policy."
This refers to some American government officials who move into major corporations, lobbying groups, industry associations, or law firms after retirement or resignation to achieve reemployment.
At the same time, talents from these corporations, lobbying groups, industry associations, and law firms are also absorbed by the American government, switching careers to work for the government as officials.
And the advisor is an important position within this revolving door policy.
What this position specifically entails, nobody can really articulate clearly.
But what everyone knows is that those who hire advisors are bound to pay them a hefty salary.
Of course, Broson as a "Security Advisor" wouldn't reach the extent of the revolving door policy.
But by becoming a security advisor, he would definitely receive a "consulting fee" from the banks.
Thinking of this, Luo An had a guess and looked up towards Vireness.
Vireness's eyes slightly squint, she continued in a calm tone:
"However, within the set time frame, Broson did not successfully solve the case, so the role of security advisor was not passed to him.
However, the banks have not withdrawn this contract, stating that whoever solves the case will assume the role of 'Security Advisor.'
Now that you have solved the case, this advisor position naturally belongs to you."
Upon hearing Vireness's words, Luo An's eyes lit up, he licked his lips and said with a smile:
"I greatly appreciate the support, Chief!"
Vireness slightly curled her mouth, briefly instructed Luo An to keep the document safe, indicating that when the bank pays a gratitude bonus, someone will sign this contract with him.
Afterwards, Vireness waved her hand indicating that Luo An could leave her office.
She now needed to report to the special agent in charge, Kobert, about the solved serial bank robbery case.

Returning to Investigation Team Five, Augustus was planning to take Lede and Reesi to the conference room for a meeting, to arrange their coordination work with some local FBI departments in California tomorrow.
"Chief, I will also join this operation."
Hearing this news, Luo An immediately tossed the folder onto his own workstation, then smiled at Augustus:
"I've never had a cross-state arrest before."
FBI's cross-state law enforcement often involves specific arrest actions, and they seek help from local SWAT.
For searching relevant evidence, the local forensic departments also provide assistance.
So Luo An and his team just need to oversee the operation and ensure the safe return of the criminals and relevant evidence.
Of course, escorting the robbers back to New York wouldn't just involve Luo Anlai and Reesi; the FBI has special aircraft arrangements for such situations, with corresponding armed forces onboard.
Upon hearing Luo An's request, Augustus pondered for a few seconds, then agreed.
For the FBI, cross-state law enforcement is the norm.
This operation is relatively straightforward as it's merely an arrest, allowing Luo An to experience the specifics of cross-state law enforcement which will help him perform better in future similar situations.
The four discussed at length in the meeting room, mainly it was Augustus talking, while Luo An, Lede, and Reesi listened.
After the meeting, Luo An first went to Augustus's team leader office to briefly discuss some details he didn't understand from earlier, before returning to his own workstation.

"Luo An."
Just as she sat down in her chair, before even stretching lazily, Mona chuckled, rubbing her hands together as she approached.
Hearing Mona call her, Luo An immediately tilted her head to look at her.
But seeing her expression, Luo An's mouth twitched, and she subconsciously moved her chair back:
"Mona, what are you up to?"
After speaking, Luo An suddenly realized.
Wait! What do I have to be afraid of?
"Nothing much, just have a question to ask you."
Mona smiled broadly, quickly moved her chair closer to Luo An, and asked in a low voice:
"After this bank robbery case, how much is the reward money?"
Casting a glance at Mona, Luo An didn't hide it from her and directly told her the amount of $600,000.
"What?"
Hearing Luo An's words, Mona's eyes widened in astonishment, covering her mouth in shock:
"$600,000 for one bank?"
"How could that be? It's $100,000 per bank, six banks together make $600,000."
Luo An rolled her eyes:
"Don't you know the situation with those banks? $100,000 is already a cut into their flesh!"
"That's still a lot though!"
Upon hearing this, Mona chuckled and took out a calculator from nowhere, starting to crunch numbers.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Luo An's mouth twitched.
Is Mona that short on cash?
Soon, it was time to leave work.
Due to a business trip tomorrow, Reesi unusually took things seriously for once, not going to the bar to have fun but rather going home to rest properly for the night.
Lai De, as usual, went home to his wife and kids, and Luo An wanted to mooch a meal at Mona's place but wasn't successful.
The next morning, Luo An and two others boarded the FBI's private jet, heading to California which is located on the other end of the Federation Continent.
6 hours later, the trio successfully arrived in California. After syncing with the local FBI department, they went straight for their three targets.
Luo An, accompanied by SWAT, headed directly for Holki floating on the sea.
Lai De, also with SWAT, rushed directly to the villa where Isaac lived.
Reesi's target was Henry Mitchell, the owner of Golden Light Film, so she didn't bring SWAT but instead took a team from the local FBI's Economic Crimes Division and stormed into the Golden Light Film company.
The operations led by Luo An and Lai De went smoothly.
Holki on the yacht, who had intended to jump into the sea and escape, was shot in the thigh by Luo An and knocked unconscious after his head hit the yacht's sharp edge.
Isaac, engaged in a group activity in the villa, was startled by the sudden intrusion of Lai De and others, trembling as he quickly confessed.
After a thorough search of the two's residences, the FBI found some unprocessed American bills.
With both the people and evidence secured, Luo An and Lai De, after handling the related evidence, threw them into the FBI's plane for transporting prisoners the next day.
The situation at Golden Light Film company was a bit more complex, the accounts couldn't be settled in a short time, leaving Luo An and Lai De no choice but to return to New York first.
But nevertheless, this bank robbery case had completely concluded here, and Augustus didn't go back on his word, announcing on the spot that everyone would have Monday off and return to work on Tuesday.
"Thank you, chief!"
The agents from Unit Five loudly cheered, clapping wildly for Augustus and Luo An.
After hearing this news, Matthews from Unit Fourteen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes reddening.
The Special Agent in Charge Kobert, sitting in his office, looked at the text version of the case report that Vireness had submitted at his request that day, his eyebrows slightly raised.
After a long thought, he slowly marked a check on the name Luo An…
