America 1919

Right after Donnie handled the Cadillac incident, a shadowy figure silently arrived in Detroit.

After meeting this person, Donnie immediately returned to Washington.

Inside Block Manor.

Donnie sat on the sofa in the study, his expression somber.

Sitting next to him was Rhode Granger, who had been promoted to FBI Deputy Director.

This was somewhat compensation for Donnie's request to promote Rhode Granger to FBI Director.

"Tell me, what did the investigation reveal that made me rush back from Detroit?"

It was Rhode Granger who sent people to Detroit and notified about a major breakthrough in the ambush on Donnie.

Rhode Granger pondered, "After you left Washington, we moved the investigation into the shadows. Eventually, we did discover some issues.

Firstly, through the previous investigation into Trey Layman, I got some hints. If his people frequently seek out prostitutes, doesn't it indicate that the real ambushers might do the same?

So we focused our investigation on this aspect and indeed found some clues. Right after you dealt with the radium radiation hazard issue, someone appeared in Washington. This person had a German accent, was not an American, and disappeared after the ambush on you.

Later, I took the photos of the three gunmen who were shot and had several prostitutes identify them. They confirmed that this person was one of them."

Donnie suddenly took an interest in the matter, but after thinking for a moment, he felt somewhat dispirited. If these people were truly Germans, investigating their real backgrounds wouldn't be easy.

This isn't the future where you can just input information on a computer and immediately retrieve someone's details.

The M|V|LE&MPYR team worked hard on this chapter.

Moreover, since these people came from Germany, it indicates the other party had premeditated intentions, especially right after dealing with the radium goods.

This shows that the other party had certainly been planning this long before the radium goods issue, considering the time needed to travel from Germany to the U.S.

"Give the photos to Randolph Roman. He will have them sent to Germany, where someone will investigate the identities of these three people!"

Currently, Steve Cotting is in Germany and has established contact with the "Little Mustache." Their relationship is decent, but Little Mustache's influence in Germany isn't strong enough to investigate this matter, so Donnie will have Steve Cotting use private detectives to look into it.

"Alright!" Rhode Granger nodded.

"Besides this, what else is there?" Donnie asked, as the person who notified him mentioned Rhode Granger had discovered two leads in total.

Rhode Granger explained, "There's another matter regarding Angola Cohen, mentioned by Edgar Hoover. I discovered that this person isn't truly loyal to Edgar Hoover but has a very close relationship with National Congress Member Thor Brady. After returning to Washington, he met with Thor Brady several times. I worried about being discovered, so I didn't eavesdrop on their conversation!"

Donnie asked, "What's the situation with Thor Brady?"

Donnie believed that if Angola Cohen was merely close to Thor Brady, that wouldn't be much of an issue. As a high-level FBI official, it's natural for Angola Cohen to build his network of relationships.

Rhode Granger explained, "Thor Brady is of German descent and studied in Europe in his youth. After returning to the U.S., he became a lawyer in Nevada and gradually became a State Senator, and is now a National Congress Member. His relationship with John Garner is very close and politically they cooperate with one another!"

Donnie understood why Rhode Granger raised this issue separately.

Firstly, Thor Brady is of German descent. Donnie just learned that the gunmen came from Germany, and the main suspect in the case is John Garner, who also has close ties with John Garner!

Angola Cohen's role in this is quite special. He appears as Edgar Hoover's most trusted friend, assigned to investigate matters related to Donnie. If Thor Brady's situation hadn't been clarified, Angola Cohen's actions could be seen as normal. However, now knowing about Thor Brady, Donnie found the matter intriguing.

For three gunmen, even in this era, it wouldn't take this long for the FBI to find such scant information, which suggests that someone familiar with the FBI's investigative methods might be involved, likely someone from within the FBI itself.

"Where does Thor Brady's political funding come from?"

Donnie asked.

In the United States, to become a politician at the level of a National Congress Member, having political funding support is essential!

Rhode Granger's expression turned peculiar as he explained, "From Nevada's Brady Corporation, run by his brother, Steve Brady!

Additionally, I found that Brady Corporation initially received funding support from Kuhn Loeb & Co.!"
