Legendary FBI Detective

After hearing Lacey's words, Mona got up from Luo An's arms. Luo An didn't panic, straightened up and asked calmly:

"Which phone did you call Michelle?"

Michelle has been living the life of a homebody since the Special Investigations Unit was declared on holiday on Tuesday.

Michelle has a total of three phone numbers, one for dealing with non-urgent situations such as insurance companies and landlords, one for contacting relatives, friends and former colleagues, and the last one for answering mission calls from Luo An’s special investigation team. .

Most of the time, Lacey made the second call to Michelle, but except for the third call, Michelle could easily refuse to answer the first two calls because she was reading, so Roan asked Lacey this question.

"I fought the second and third."

Lacey on the other end of the phone explained:

“Michelle has run out of food these days, so she asked me for help and asked me to send her some food.

But when I arrived at her door, I found that no one was home and I couldn't reach her on the phone. "

In order to read more books these days, Michelle ate all the fast food that she had bought before.

"OK."

Luo An frowned slightly when he heard this. Although Michelle was obsessed with reading, she could distinguish the important from the important and rarely failed to contact him.

After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An said to the phone:

"Lacie, please carefully check Michelle's room and the surveillance in that building. I'll go..."

Before Luo An finished speaking, Mona's cell phone suddenly rang.

Mona picked it up and saw it was Michelle's phone.

Luo An immediately stopped talking when he saw this. Mona pressed the answer button with a solemn expression. After a few seconds, her expression became weird.

After hanging up the phone, Mona looked at Luo An, who was full of doubts, and couldn't laugh or cry:

"Michelle is with the LAPD now. The books in the Los Angeles Library have been lost. The LAPD suspects that Michelle is a thief."

"..."

————

Half an hour later, inside the LAPD police station.

After showing his identity to Mona and Lacey, Roan quickly clarified the entire incident from a police sergeant.

At around 11 o'clock last night, the LAPD received a report from the Los Angeles Central Library, saying that they discovered that the library's security system had been compromised, and then found that the originals of some of the library's rare books had been stolen.

The original value of those rare books was very high. When the LAPD learned of the incident, they immediately dispatched the police and soon called in surveillance inside and outside the library.

Then the LAPD discovered in the library monitoring and library borrowing records:

Two weeks ago, Michelle came to the library many times to borrow copies of those books. She did not come to the library a week ago, and then came to the library three days ago to borrow copies of those books.

The timing was a bit coincidental, so the LAPD regarded Michelle as one of the suspects and asked her to come to the LAPD police station to cooperate with the investigation.

After figuring out the whole story, and with the guarantee provided by Lacey and others, Michelle quickly walked out of the LAPD police station.

"Michelle, you really scared us!"

Mona's car drove forward slowly, Lacey patted Michelle's arm hard and said with a smile:

"I thought you were snatched away!"

Michelle looked apologetic:

"I'm so sorry."

"People safe is good."

Luo An was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at the rearview mirror, and asked casually:

"By the way, what specific books were stolen from the Los Angeles Central Library?"

"Mainly some collections of books and original documents on topics such as Europe and America between 1000 and 1500 AD."

Speaking of this, Michelle’s eyes shone:

"They are all very valuable books. After I came to Los Angeles, I submitted an application to the library to view the original manuscripts, but it was never approved, which made me prepare to use the FBI to investigate the case."

"..."x3

When Luo An and the three of them heard this, they all cast strange looks at Michelle.

If the three of them hadn't known that Michelle had been squatting at home these days, and that Michelle was of average physical fitness, had simple interpersonal relationships in Los Angeles, and wasn't very good at computers, they might have begun to suspect that Michelle was stealing these things. Book thief.

Seeing the looks in the eyes of the three people, Michelle was slightly startled, and then felt a little embarrassed:

"Feel sorry."

"fine."

Luo An replied casually, and Mona, who was driving, thought about it and asked:

"Michelle, you just said those books are very valuable, do you mean in terms of knowledge or money?"

This case belongs to the LAPD. If the library does not seek help from the FBI, the FBI will not take the initiative to intervene. And even if the FBI intervenes, it will not require the dispatch of their special investigation team, so Mona is just a little curious about it.

“It’s on both levels.”

After hearing Mona's question, Michelle thought for a while and explained:

“Needless to say, in terms of knowledge, many experts and professors in the Federation have completed their research by relying on the original collection of books and materials.

In terms of money..."

Michelle scratched her head and paused for a few seconds before saying:

"If someone likes this kind of books very much, they will most likely offer a very high price."

After hearing this, Lacey also became curious and came up to ask:

"How high is very high?"

"Twenty thousand to eight hundred thousand dollars."

Michelle said:

"It could be over $800,000."

"Wow."

Lacey opened her mouth and sighed, and Luo An smiled and said:

"That's the value of knowledge."

The four of them chatted and laughed all the way back to Michelle's house. Mona and Lacey had been here before, but it was only Roan's first time here.

After entering the room and glancing around, Luo An raised his eyebrows when he heard Michelle's introduction, and realized that Michelle in life and Michelle at work were completely different people.

Michelle is conscientious at work, never procrastinates, and completes every task conscientiously.

I don’t have any jewelry on my body to dress up. I am well-dressed and in a very good state of mind.

In life, Michelle said that her schedule these days was very chaotic. She would go to bed when she felt sleepy while reading, and then read again when she woke up. When the curtains were drawn and the lights turned on, she had no idea whether it was day or night outside.

The food we ate was purchased fast food, but the scene in the room was not as chaotic as imagined, but in order:

To the left of the living room are several tall stacks of books and a desk, where Michelle reads and takes notes.

To the right of the living room is the bedroom. There is only a folding bed and a long clothes rack in the bedroom.

Michelle sleeps and changes clothes here on weekdays. Most of the clothes on the hangers are the clothes Michelle wears when working. There are only a few clothes in life, less than one-tenth of Mona's.

In addition, the entire room is also very clean, the garbage is sorted and placed outside the door, and the food is placed within easy reach. Michelle herself is very clean except for her clothes and hair, which are slightly messy.

Seeing Michelle who had almost suppressed her desire to eat, drink and have fun to a minimum, Luo An had nothing to say except admiration. He helped her repair the broken lamp and then prepared to leave with Mona and Lacey.

Lacey shook her head when she heard this and said she would leave later. She wanted to ask Michelle something.

The mysterious look aroused the curiosity of Luo An and Mona, but Lacey did not say whether he was dead or alive, so Luo An and Mona did not ask in detail, and they turned and left here.
