Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 560 [Cross + Ruby Ring Curse Case]

Two-thirty in the afternoon, FBI headquarters in Washington, Mr. Clement's office.

The secretary opened the door, Luo An thanked him softly and walked into the office, then said hello to Mr. Clement:

"Good afternoon, sir."

In the office, in addition to Mr. Clement, there was also a middle-aged white man with blond hair and who looked to be in his thirties.

Seeing Luo An walk into the office, Mr. Clement nodded to him, then stood up and introduced:

"This is the leader of Investigation Team 13, Roan Greenwood.

This is Ethan Murray from Nevada. "

"Hello, Mr. Morrie."

"Hello, Captain Greenwood."

The two reached out and shook hands. Luo An vaguely guessed something, but still asked with some doubts:

"Sir, why did you call me here?"

Mr. Clement did not answer, but turned his gaze to Ethan Mori.

Upon seeing this, Ethan Mori immediately picked up his briefcase on the sofa, took out a document from it and handed it to Luo An, explaining:

"Leader Roan, I am the chief of staff to Senator Shermore-Christa of Nevada.

A few days ago, after a dinner party, Congressman Shermel Christa, his sister Lucille Christa, and two bodyguards, a man and a woman, who were with them, a total of four people, all left the banquet. Disappeared, no one alive, no dead body.

The impact of this incident is very bad. I hope you can lead the No. 13 Investigation Team and participate in the investigation of this case. "

Luo An looked at the information in the folder, his eyes narrowed slightly and he remained silent.

In the original murder case of everyone in the family villa (Chapter 441), the real target of the murderer was a 75-year-old white woman named Krista.

The 40-year-old Congressman Seymour Christa in the document is the eldest son of the 75-year-old woman.

Lucille Christa, 38, is the old woman’s second daughter.

In addition, the old woman has a third son, 33 years old, named Lister Christa.

Information in the document shows that the third son was traveling in other countries at the time of the incident and is currently taking over and presiding over the affairs of the Krista family.

"Mr. Morrie, I have a question."

After thinking for a few seconds, Luo An closed the folder, raised his head and asked:

“This case, both local law enforcement in Las Vegas and law enforcement in Nevada have the ability to investigate this case.

So, why are you looking for me? "

Chief of Staff Ethan Murray did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Mr. Clement aside.

Mr. Clement waved to Ethan Morrie, who nodded, turned and walked out of the office.

Luo An frowned slightly:

"Sir?"

"sit."

Mr. Clement motioned to Luo An to take a chair and sit down. He pondered for a few seconds and said:

"Roann, Nevada is a swing state."

Swing state, a very federal term.

There are two political parties in the Federation, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Every four years in the presidential election, the two political parties will compete for votes in the fifty states across the country and find ways to expand their advantages.

There are fifty states in the Union. Voters in some states often cast different votes. It is possible that they voted for the Democratic Party this time but voted for the Republican Party the next time.

These states where voting ideas are swinging are called swing states.

Luo An nodded. Although he didn't pay much attention to these things, he had lived in the Federation for such a long time and knew something about it.

Mr. Clement continued:

“In recent years, the battle between Republicans and Democrats in Nevada has become more and more intense. Now it’s 2006, and it’s time to elect a new president.

Congressman Shermore-Christa belongs to the Republican camp in Nevada, and the family behind him still has some strength. The business and political circles are entangled together, making it difficult for all parties to believe this matter and making the case difficult to investigate. .

Therefore, some local high-level officials hope that our FBI headquarters will send people to investigate and handle this case. "

After Mr. Clement finished explaining, Luo An nodded suddenly:

The local area is in a mess, and no one from all parties can trust it, so they have to sit down to discuss cooperation and find an unrelated outsider to break the situation.

"Also, the Christa family has its own attitude."

Mr. Clement then added:

"The family's third remaining son, Lister Christa, said that the missing persons were his brother and sister. He is willing to provide 10 million US dollars in special case-handling funds to law enforcement officers who investigate the case."

"...As expected of a family in the city of Las Vegas, they really know how to solve crimes."

When Luo An heard this, his face suddenly became serious and he said in a deep voice:

"No problem, sir, I will definitely work hard to investigate this case."

"...Good."

Clement glanced at Luo An speechlessly, and after a few brief words, Luo An turned around and left the office.

Investigation Team No. 13, office area.

"So, you have to go on a business trip again this time?"

Lacey sat on the chair, spinning around in boredom, looking at the documents Luo An got back, and complained with an unhappy face:

"And it's Las Vegas again! Didn't you say before that you would never go to that casino again if nothing unexpected happened?"

"You've already said it, if nothing unexpected happens."

Luo An took the folder and tapped Lacey's head gently:

"Now that someone is dead, isn't this an accident?"

"snort."

Lacey wrinkled her nose and snorted at Luo An. Luo An ignored him, then turned his eyes to Michelle next to him and asked:

"You said before that the current situation of the Christa family is very bad. Is this what you were referring to?"

"That's right."

Michelle nodded and added:

“Also, the cross that the guy in the hospital was talking about has been carried by Councilor Shermore Christa since we returned it to the Christa family.

The ruby ​​ring was worn by his sister, Lucille Christa.

Now the two are missing, and the cross and ruby ​​ring have also disappeared. "

Winslow thought for a moment and said with a strange expression:

"Is there any curse on this cross and the ruby ​​ring?"

Luo An and Michelle looked at him in confusion. Lacey next to him suddenly widened his eyes and clapped his hands, saying:

"It is indeed possible!

You see, the 75-year-old woman Christa died in that villa with a cross around her neck and a ruby ​​ring on her hand.

This time, her eldest son was wearing a cross and her second daughter was wearing a ruby ​​ring. As a result, both of them disappeared, neither alive nor dead.

Only the third son, who was wearing nothing, escaped the disaster. "

"..."x3

Seeing Winslow and Lacey with solemn faces, Michelle and Chenelle were speechless, and Luo An waved his hands helplessly:

"Stop thinking so wildly and pack your things quickly. The plane is ready and we'll leave soon!"

"clear!"

"no problem!"

Michelle, Winslow, Lacey and Chenelle all nodded in agreement.

Luo An turned around and walked into the team leader's office to pack his things. There was a flash of thoughtfulness in his eyes, and he whispered to himself:

"curse……"

————

Because Mona had not yet recovered, she had to stay in the villa on Washington, D.C. Road to rest.

Two hours later, the agents of Investigation Team 13, together with Senate President Ethan Murray, boarded a plane bound for Nevada.

There was no talking all the way, and after a few hours of flight, everyone arrived in Las Vegas smoothly.

After a long flight, they needed to rest. Everyone took a taxi and arrived at the hotel they had booked in advance, ready to rest for a night and start the official investigation of the case tomorrow.

Suddenly staying alone in a hotel, Luo An felt a little uncomfortable. After packing up his personal belongings, he lay on the bed and read the relevant information provided by Chief of Staff Ethan Mori.

Ding dong——ding dong——

Suddenly, there was a sound of ringing the doorbell at the door. Luo An got out of bed and asked:

"who?"

"It's me, Michelle."

Opening the door and letting the other party in, Michelle didn't waste any time. She immediately picked up her laptop and showed it to Luo An, with a shocked expression on her face:

"Roan, do you remember Lexa O'Dell, who is only 19 years old this year?

I just found out the news that she and the 33-year-old third son of the Christa family are engaged! "
