Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 170: Mental Status Assessment



Just then, Reed, who had finished checking the second floor left side, also entered the room.

"Call an ambulance, quick."

The face of the white male bore some resemblance to Avar Miller's, and given the chaotic state of the scene, Luo An immediately concluded he was of great importance and couldn't die here.

"OK."

Seeing Reed press the communicator and start to brief the situation, Luo An tilted his head in thought and also took out his cell phone from his pocket, found a number, and dialed.

——

Hours later, at the office area of Investigative Team 5.

After triple-checking that Luo An was indeed unharmed, Mona let out a long sigh of relief.

After patting Luo An's arm forcefully, Mona sat back down at her workstation and read out the information about the white male Luo An had rescued:

"The guy's name is Edwin Miller, a distant cousin on Avar Miller's side.

He's 40 years old, served in the military in his younger years, and after returning to the federation, has no record of being imprisoned.

However, he's been in a poor financial state recently, due to alimony payments of 3000 US Dollars per month needed for his ex-wife and son.

And he just lost his job last month."

After listening to Mona's narrative, Luo An chuckled and sat back down in his chair, while Reesi came over and wrapped her arms around Mona's slender waist, whispering:

"Hey, Mona, Reed was also a participant in the recent shootout, aren't you going to ask about him?"

Mona rolled her eyes, gently breaking free from Reesi's embrace, and glared at Luo An, whispering back:

"Reed has Yvonne to worry about him."

Hearing this, Reesi's smile grew even larger. Just as she was about to speak, Augustus suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

Behind him followed two expressionless white individuals, a man and a woman, both in suits and carrying folders.

Seeing the man and woman, all agents of Investigative Team 5 frowned and stood up, directing their gaze towards Reed and Luo An.

Mainly Luo An.

"It's from the security department of Human Resources."

Reesi frowned tightly: "But why are they here now?"

Just like the Internal Affairs Bureau of the NYPD, whose job is to oversee the police within the NYPD and punish those who violate rules and laws, the security department of Human Resources is tasked with overseeing the agents and chiefs within the FBI.

They are departments unpopular with many.

Just now, senior FBI agents Luo An and Reed, who are not SWAT members, had together killed many enemies; hence, they would definitely be questioned by the security department, to assess their mental states.

The agents of Investigative Team 5 were already prepared for such an event.

However, these inquiries are typically held after a case has been solved, not during an ongoing half-investigated case like this.

"What on earth is going on?"

All members of Investigative Team 5 cast questioning looks at Augustus.

Mona also gave Luo An a worried glance.

Augustus didn't say much, just gave Luo An a look, then gestured with his hand:

"Luo An, Reed, go with them."

"Yes, Chief."

Upon hearing Augustus's word, Luo An and Reed exchanged glances, nodded in agreement, and followed.

Patting Mona on the back, Luo An smiled at his colleagues and calmly left the office area of Investigative Team 5.

Seeing the retreating figures of Luo An and Reed, Reesi clenched her fists, her expression grave.

Turning to look at Mona, she found Mona sitting back in her chair, typing at the keyboard once again.

Reesi, slightly taken aback, hurriedly asked:

"Mona, you..."

"Trust Luo An."

The moment she saw the smile on Luo An's face, Mona's heart settled.

She knew Luo An never acted without preparation.

But still, just like Reesi, Mona kept her eyes fixed on the door to Investigative Team 5.

——

Human Resources Department, Security Division, Interrogation Room.

The Security Department was right next to the Training Department. When Luo An stepped out of the elevator, he also saw Old York, the senior agent from the Training Department (Chapter 3).

Sitting in the chair, looking at the agent across the table, Luo An had a strange expression on his face.

He used to be the one interrogating others, and now he was being interrogated, which felt quite peculiar.

"Hello, Agent Luo An Greenwood."

The well-dressed Caucasian man put a folder on the table and emotionlessly introduced himself and the woman's identity:

"My name is Noding, and her name is Netti, from the Security Division of Human Resources Department."

"Hello."

Luo An smiled and nodded his head.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Noding quickly got to the point.

"Agent Greenwood, according to the post-incident investigation by the Forensics Division, there were a total of 13 bodies at the crime scene, 9 of which were killed by you, right?"

Including the two bodies that were finished off, the number was correct.

But Luo An did not answer, nor did he nod; he just crossed his legs and asked with a smile:

"What then?"

Seeing Luo An's action, Netti's face changed, her eyes widened, and she said harshly:

"Agent Luo An, you..."

"Cough cough."

Before Netti could finish speaking, Noding coughed twice and then continued emotionlessly:

"Given the large number of enemies you killed in a short period of time in this case, we now need to assess your mental state.

Please listen carefully to the questions I am about to ask and answer with 'Yes' or 'No' only."

After speaking, Noding opened the folder, took out a piece of paper, and stated the first question.

Netti, on the other hand, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but did not dare to speak.

Her eyes fixed on Noding's face, and recalling Augustus's gaze from before, Luo An suddenly laughed, put down his crossed legs, and started to answer the other party's questions.

A few minutes later, Agent Noding nodded satisfactorily, ticked a big check mark on the paper, then stood up and extended his hand to Luo An:

"Congratulations, Agent Luo An, you have passed this mental state assessment, and we appreciate your cooperation."

"Thank you, Agent Noding, you've worked hard as well."

Extending his hand to shake with the other party, Luo An glanced at Netti whose face was red with restraint, smiled, and pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked out.

In the corridor, Reesi had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Luo An come out, he hurriedly greeted him.

According to past experience, Reesi judged that he would also be interrogated for several hours.

He didn't understand why it was so quick this time; it felt like he had just sat down and then came out.

Inside the interrogation room, watching Luo An pat Reesi's shoulder through the glass of the door, exhibiting a full smile while walking briskly towards the elevator, Netti could finally not hold back anymore, turned her head with a flushed face, and asked:

"Chief! What on earth is going on? This is not in line with our regulations at all!"

Stuffing Luo An's mental assessment test randomly into the folder and hearing Netti's question, Noding emotionlessly lifted his head and handed over his phone to her.

"This is the phone number of our deputy director."

"..."

Netti's face stiffened, and she was stunned on the spot.

Not only that, but Noding also scrolled down the call log, pointing to another phone number and saying:

"This call came from Washington."

Hearing this, Netti jerked in fright, suddenly widening her eyes...

Seeing Luo An and Reesi returning to Investigation Team Five so quickly, Mona instantly breathed a sigh of relief, while Reesi and the others stood up in shock:

"How did you two come back so quickly?"

Hearing this, Luo An sat back down in his own chair, looking displeased, and said:

"What, you wanted me to stay there for a few days?"

"That's not what I meant..."

Quickly waving her hands, Reesi was interrupted when Mona suddenly turned around and said:

"Everyone, I've found out the identities of those black men killed by Luo An!

Not only that, Edwin Miller has just woken up; he says he has important clues and hopes to see the FBI as soon as possible!"
