Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 227 - 222)]
Southern Los Angeles, inside an abandoned factory.
Luo An's nose had always been sensitive, the moment he smelled the scent of blood, he discreetly prepared for battle.
Next to him, Zachary was still boasting loudly, continuing to walk a few steps forward, when the female bodyguard, Sofia, noticed something was amiss and quickly reached out to stop them both.
Zachary frowned:
"What's wrong?"
"There's the smell of blood!"
Sofia waved her hand to signal Zachary to stay behind her, then she took out a pistol and proceeded cautiously with a guard stance.
Luo An glanced at Sofia with interest, then hurriedly took out his pistol and followed behind Zachary, impatiently whispering:
"What's going on? Why so many complications today? Are you guys even professionals?"
"..."
Hearing Luo An's complaints, Zachary looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say.
Could it be because he tipped less last time after playing games and exercising, that his luck had been worse recently?
Sofia led them forward not too far, when Luo An saw a concrete room with a metal door opened.
On the floor of the concrete room, a Caucasian male corpse with several gunshot wounds, lying in a pool of blood with eyes wide open, appeared before the three of them.
"Thomas!"
As they saw the male body, Sofia and Zachary's complexions changed drastically, and they hurried into the concrete room.
In the square concrete room, completely empty, Sofia immediately bent down, turned Thomas's body over, checked his pulse to confirm he was indeed dead, then her eyes reddened as she cursed loudly.
"Fu-k! Damn it! Who did this!?"
"NoNoNoNo..."
Seeing Sofia's reaction, Zachary also panicked, repeatedly muttering the word without knowing what else to say.
Not far away in the command vehicle, everyone listening in through the communicator suddenly had various expressions, but Luo An had not yet called for backup, so Levis just waved his hand to signal everyone to hold their positions.
Inside the factory, Luo An looked around, didn't see any bombs, so he immediately asked loudly:
"Hey! Zachary! What the heck is going on here?!"
Zachary was still spinning in place not knowing what to do, seeing this, Luo An didn't hesitate and slapped him across the face.
Slap!
The slap was forceful, and the intense pain jolted Zachary back to his senses. Just as he was about to shout in anger, Luo An grabbed his shoulder and said loudly:
"Zachary! I came here today to buy bombs, OK?
Your buddy here is obviously beyond saving, and we don't know if the police might show up here soon.
So let's quickly finish the deal and get out of here, OK?"
"OK! OK! You're right!"
Sofia still immersed in grief didn't look up, but hearing Luo An's words, Zachary quickly snapped out of it.
Not caring about the slap he just received, Zachary swiftly dragged Luo An to a corner of the concrete room, where an indoor fire hydrant was mounted on the wall.
Opening the iron door of the hydrant, there was a fairly large room inside, into which Zachary hurriedly pulled Luo An.
Upon entering the room, Luo An saw four black packages containing red TNT, while Zachary, seeing this scene, burst into furious curses:
"Son of a bi--ch!
That thief actually stole three of my bombs!"
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, Luo An's pupils constricted, and everyone in the command vehicle also had a drastic change of expression.
Immediately thereafter, Luo An didn't hesitate and tapped four times on the communicator.
This was their pre-agreed action signal; four taps meant action, three taps meant to hold...to call for support.
Hearing the taps, everyone in the command vehicle didn't hesitate at all, Levis, Valita, Hayes, and Reesi immediately opened the vehicle doors, took their weapons, and rushed into the abandoned factory.
"One bomb for half a million, three bombs make it one and a half million!
Damn thief, he actually stole my one and a half million!"
Zachary was immersed in the sorrow of losing a good brother and a large sum of money, but he still picked up a black package, preparing to hand it back to Luo An.
But as soon as Zachary turned around, a huge fist with the force of a punch appeared in front of his eyes.
"F..."
Bang!
Zachary's eyes widened, ready to greet Luo An, but before he could finish speaking, Luo An knocked him out with a punch.
At this moment, Sofia had just half entered the room and saw Luo An make his move; her pupils suddenly contracted. Just as she was about to draw her gun to attack, Luo An had already raised his pistol and fired at the hole in the wall.
Bang Bang Bang—
Three gunshots. Luo An didn't hit Sofia; she fell back onto the concrete floor outside.
"@#%¥..."
Her buttocks were somewhat sore but Sofia cast that aside, cursed loudly, and immediately got up from the ground, raised her pistol, and hid beside the hole, ready to find a way to kill Luo An.
The next second, four agents from the Leid team all rushed into the cement room, all their handguns aimed at Sofia's head, and simultaneously shouted:
"Don't move!"
"Drop your weapon!"
"Raise your hands!"
Seeing the "FBI" in white letters on Leid's and Reesi's bulletproof vests, Sofia was furious, with an extremely ugly expression on her face.

Half an hour later, FBI Los Angeles Branch, Criminal Investigation Department, Investigative Team Two, Office Area.
Levis and Luo An among others walked into the office area, and Group Leader Owen loudly introduced:
"Ladies and gentlemen! These are Agents Levis and Valita from Washington!
These four are Deputy Group Leader Luo An, and Agents Reesi, Leid, and Mona from our FBI New York Branch, Criminal Investigation Department, Team Five!"
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
The members of Investigative Team Two, a total of twenty agents, all clapped to welcome them.
Regarding the two agents from Washington, these twenty agents glanced and then quickly diverted their eyes, having seen similar people before, they weren't curious.
Instead, they turned their more keen attention towards members from New York Team Five.
To be precise, on Luo An.
They originally thought that Leid or Reesi was the deputy group leader, but it turned out to be this handsome young man under thirty in front of them!
A few female agents from Team Two's eyes lit up, while the male agents had various expressions, each thinking their own thoughts.
"These are Lucian, Jack, Ivy, and Hayes."
Introducing a few key agents from Team Two to Luo An and the others, Owen then shifted his gaze towards Levis. Levis nodded, distributed files to the agents, and loudly briefed the specifics of the case.
"…As summarized, we have now successfully captured intermediary Zachary, bodyguard Sofia, and the deceased bomb maker Thomas, and have recovered four bombs.
Unfortunately, three bombs have gone missing, and without a doubt, they should still be in Los Angeles.
So our next objective is to find these three stolen bombs as quickly as possible! Understood?"
"Understood!" xN
"Good."
Levis nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and said:
"Zachary is awake now; we can start the interrogation."
"OK."
As Luo An was about to speak, Lucian from Team Two suddenly interjected:
"Deputy Group Leader Luo, you and your team must be tired from the journey from New York to here for the arrests, how about letting us handle this interrogation?"
