Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 109: The Reason for the Formation of Investigation Team Five
Sunday, 8:00 pm, Catherine Hepburn Bar.
"Cheers!"
At a round table deep inside the bar, Augustus, Luo An, Mona, Reesi, and Lydia all raised their glasses.
"I'm delighted to have been invited by all of you."
Augustus downed the drink in his glass in one gulp, sighed deeply, and smiled at everyone:
"It's been a long time since I've enjoyed drinking this much!"
Reesi picked up the bottle to refill Augustus's glass and asked with a tilted head and a smile:
"Does your wife keep a tight leash on this?"
The number five investigative team hadn't been set up for very long, and everyone knew only a little about the family situation of the team members,
such as whether they were married and details about their family members.
Other details, the members of the number five investigative team didn't know much about each other.
"My wife? NO, I never drink to the point of passing out, so she doesn't mind my drinking."
Hearing Reesi's words, Augustus shook his head with a smile and patted his belly:
"But my daughter cares a lot about it, so..."
Augustus didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present nodded in understanding.
"To be honest, Reesi, the bar you picked is a bit of a surprise."
Feeling the tranquil music in the bar and seeing the harmonious gathering scene around, Lydia took a bite of the food on the table, turned to look at Reesi with a smile, and said:
"When Luo An told me you were picking the place for tonight's meeting, I thought you might take us to a bar with a fashion show."
"Bars with fashion shows are my treasures, I would never give away their locations to you."
After hearing this, Reesi put down the bottle, turned her head, and rolled her eyes at Lydia:
"And even if I gave you the address, would you dare to go?"
Yvonne is not someone to mess with, Reesi knew this very well from having shopped and chatted with her.
Mona, who had also heard about this from Reesi, suddenly turned her head with interest and looked at Lydia.
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Seeing the expression in the two women's eyes, Lydia suddenly widened his eyes, looked serious, and patted his chest forcefully:
"I would go there to investigate, any problem?"
Reesi and Mona simultaneously rolled their eyes, Luo An chuckled and said nothing, instead turning his gaze back to Augustus:
"Chief, how exactly was our number five investigative team established? Could you tell us?"
This question had been on Luo An's mind for a long time.
After all, they have a total of thirteen investigative teams, and recently a fourteenth team was established.
Why was their equally newly established team ranked number five?
And with all new members, none from the original number five investigative team.
Luo An's question also piqued the interest of the other three.
Like Luo An, Mona had joined the number five investigative team not long ago and didn't know the specific details.
Lydia and Reesi, transferred to the number five investigative team due to their prior work relationships, subconsciously assumed there was a secret behind it and thus never asked.
Now that Luo An brought it up, they naturally wanted to know the answer behind it all.
"There's nothing that can't be told."
Seeing the people at the table all turning their gaze to him, Augustus raised his eyebrows, took another drink, then gestured with his hand for everyone to come closer.
When Luo An and the others saw this, they quickly straightened up and leaned in.
Then they heard Augustus say in a low voice:
"Actually, I don't know either."
The four of them: "..."
Seeing the amusing expressions on Luo An and the others' faces, Augustus threw his head back and laughed heartily.
"Alright, no more joking."
After laughing for a while, seeing that Luo An and the others began to discuss various methods of skipping the bill right in front of him, Augustus quickly gestured with his hand, indicating it was just a joke.
After clearing his throat twice, the four gathered around Augustus again, only to hear Augustus say seriously in a low voice:
"Actually, that was an emergency plan."
Before the former Unit 5 was disbanded, they had handled a major case involving a South American drug lord flooding New York with cocaine.
During the six months of the investigation, the members of the former Unit 5 not only successfully dismantled the drug lord's trafficking network but even captured his son who was managing this route.
Knowing that his son was caught by the FBI and thrown into prison where he had to pick up soap every day, the drug lord was furious.
He tried to save his son while continuously sending assassins into federal territory, intent on killing all the members of the former Unit 5.
Vireness somehow got wind of this and, considering the safety of her subordinates, decided to seal all files related to this case and dissolved the former Unit 5, scattering its members across different departments of the FBI's New York Branch.
Upon hearing this, Luo An raised his eyebrows; Vireness was indeed a compassionate superior.
He then asked in a low voice:
"What about that South American drug lord?"
Vireness was compassionate, but she also had a petty side. Luo An felt that it was highly likely that Vireness would not let him off.
"He died six months ago, of a sudden myocardial infarction."
Augustus picked up a glass of wine from the table, took a sip, and then said with a smile:
"After his death, his power was divided up amongst his former subordinates, and the assassins who had infiltrated federal territory were cleaned out.
Of course, to prevent any accidents, Vireness did not recall the former Unit 5 but took the opportunity to establish the new Unit 5.
Which is us."
Hearing this, Reesi, Laide, and Mona exchanged glances and all laughed together.
Luo An, however, narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that Vireness's influence seemed even greater than he imagined.
These South American drug lords, Luo An wouldn't say absolutely, but seventy percent were propped up by the American agencies.
These people, while outwardly drug lords, were actually agents for the agencies.
Vireness was actually able to get rid of such a person...
Although he didn't know how Vireness had done it, Luo An took a sip of his drink, smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, and raised Vireness's importance a few notches in his mind.
He also silently made up his mind:
"This bigwig, I'm determined to follow; not even Jesus can stop me!"
As for whether that drug lord really coincidentally died of myocardial infarction...
Thinking about what the owner of the Flame Queen Bar, Lydia, had said, and considering the notorious deeds of the CIA, Luo An doubted such coincidences existed in this world.
The group continued to chat for a while, when Laide suddenly remembered something and tilted his head to ask:

"By the way, Luo An, didn't you and Agent Norton from the Organized Crime Investigation Department plan to go fishing together?"
Before Luo An could respond, Mona frowned and turned to ask:
"Fishing? Luo An, do you have a fishing license?"
In America, fishing isn't free; public fishing requires a fishing license.
She certainly didn't want to see Luo An being dragged off by the NYPD for fishing without a license and fined afterward.
"I don't have a fishing license, but yesterday was New York's free fishing day."
Even those without a fishing license could fish on this day, so Luo An went fishing with Norton after all.
"How many fish did you catch?"
Laide's eyes sparkled, and Augustus also looked interestedly at Luo An.
"Norton caught a few bass."
Seeing their looks, Luo An shrugged:
"But when I got there, I realized I had forgotten some things, so I didn't fish and just watched Norton fishing all morning."
"Forgot something?"
Hearing this, Reesi immediately smiled:
"You didn't forget to bring a fishing rod, did you?"
Mona covered her mouth and giggled, while Laide and Augustus looked stunned for a moment before also grinning.
"NO."
Luo An shook his head:
"I brought the fishing rod, but I forgot to bring a helmet."
Four people: "???"
