Chapter 774: Chapter 774

At ten in the morning, at FBI Washington Headquarters, in a certain interrogation room.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

When Matthew Moses finished speaking, the room suddenly became very quiet, and one could hear a pin drop.

Mona stopped typing on the keyboard and looked at Matthew Moses with furrowed brows, a slight glimmer of light flashing through Luo An’s eyes, as he said with a smile:

"Why wouldn’t I be sure? This is the FBI Washington Headquarters, and I am a special investigation unit chief."

"Yes, you are right."

Matthew Moses nodded in agreement, then leaned back in his chair and said with a smile:

"But I have a question, what kind of special investigation unit chief are you?"

Luo An’s eyes narrowed slightly, and before he could speak, Matthew Moses crossed his legs and continued staring intently at Luo An, adding:

"Or should I say, what kind of federal person are you?"

Matthew Moses’s words were cryptic, leaving Mona confused about what he was getting at.

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Luo An’s mind, and in the blink of an eye, he understood the underlying message in Matthew Moses’s words.

Just as he was about to say something, the interrogation room door was suddenly knocked, and Chenier stuck her head in and said in a low voice:

"Luo An, there’s a situation."

Luo An glanced at Matthew Moses, then stood up and walked out of the interrogation room. As the door closed, Chenier quickly handed her phone to Luo An, whispering:

"Something seems to have happened to Reesi."

Reesi had been investigating the situation behind the prison riot, and hearing Chenier’s words, Luo An’s brows furrowed as he took the phone to his ear:

"This is Luo An Greenwood."

Reesi’s voice on the phone was a bit hurried, tinged with irritation as she said:

"Luo An, I’ve been detained by a group of guys, and they’re looking for you."

Luo An’s expression shifted slightly, and before he could ask further, a rough scraping noise suddenly came through the phone, and then Reesi’s voice disappeared, replaced by a mature middle-aged male voice who said with a laugh:

"Good morning, Group Leader Greenwood, allow me to introduce myself, I am Group Leader William from the BOP."

BOP, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, is a federal law enforcement agency under the Federal Department of Justice, primarily responsible for the care, custody, and control of prisoners in federal prisons.

In other normal countries, this type of department would definitely rank as one of the most powerful agencies.

But the federation is different, a very unique country, leading the world by several versions, one of which includes the privatization and public listing of prisons.

The reasons and background behind the privatization of prisons are complex and can’t be elaborated on here, but it’s enough to know that following this, the power of the BOP began to significantly wane.

After all, privatized prisons are meant to make money, and if the BOP were to intervene, managing those prisoners according to federal laws, how then could the prison managers and shareholders exploit... make money.

Since then, the BOP’s power and influence have continuously weakened, with many of its duties gradually being replaced by other departments. The remaining tasks, besides overseeing national prisons, include investigating prison riots and other jobs that other departments are reluctant to handle.

"Hello, Group Leader William."

While Luo An was responding, he quickly recalled the information related to the BOP. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel{f}ire.net

The person who identified himself as Group Leader William didn’t beat around the bush and after exchanging a few pleasantries with Luo An, he directly asked:

"Group Leader Greenwood, is your investigation unit currently investigating this prison riot case?"

With Reesi now under their control, Luo An didn’t bother to hide anything and straightforwardly asked:

"Prison riot cases are always handled by us at the BOP (Federal Prison Administration)."

Group Leader William directly stated:

"My team will investigate this case and I will inform Group Leader Greenwood immediately once we have the final results. Agent Reesi’s involvement can end here."

Hearing this, Chenier’s face turned quite ugly, while Luo An raised his eyebrows and chuckled:

"Are you sure about that, Group Leader William?"

There was a pause on the phone for a second, and William’s voice came through again:

Luo An smiled, patted Chenier on the shoulder to calm her down, and then spoke into the phone:

"Alright, let Agent Reesi come back."

"Goodbye, Group Leader Greenwood."

Group Leader William didn’t even exchange pleasantries before he hung up.

Seeing this, Chenier looked anxious:

"Luo An, about this case..."

"There’s much more to this case than meets the eye; clearly, Group Leader William hasn’t gotten to that part yet."

Luo An shook his head with a smile. The case of Blue-eyed Roy’s murder has been solved, and the mastermind behind it was Matthew Moses, whose real identity is a CIA agent.

According to the information previously investigated by Reesi, the mastermind behind the prison riot is also very cautious and powerful.

Group Leader William’s behavior in taking over the case indicates that he hasn’t reached that phase yet; otherwise, a BOP member would not choose to interfere in a case potentially related to the CIA.

Of course, it also can’t be ruled out that Group Leader William has some powerful backing, but if his backing were really strong, he wouldn’t stay in the BOP department.

Besides, Luo An has major support too, multiple strong backers, so he isn’t afraid at all in a contest of power.

Moreover, the words of Matthew Moses during the interrogation made Luo An think of some possibilities. The prison riot case itself is not important; the story behind it is what Luo An needs to clear up. Arguing with the BOP is just a waste of time, let them busier themselves aimlessly.

Chenier was about to ask more when the phone rang again, Reesi exclaimed angrily:

"Luo An, those damned guys released me, but took all my files!"

Chenier frowned even tighter, while Luo An chuckled and said:

"Don’t tell me you didn’t prepare anything for this scenario."

Having worked with Reesi for so long, Luo An and Mona had noticed her habit of always having something up her sleeve, like a rabbit with multiple burrows.

Reesi liked to keep documents separate, except the highly confidential ones. For ordinary documents, she even preferred to print an extra copy as backup before finally wiping them clean.

"Of course... I made backup plans."

Reesi heaved a sigh of relief and then chuckled:

"The fools took what I had initially found; I’ve already hidden recent findings.

But still, even the initial information being taken is annoying!"

"Good that you have backups, Reesi, you come back first."

Chenier sighed in relief, Luo An glanced at her and smiled, then continued on the phone:

"By the way, about that mysterious person you mentioned who secretly interrogated the gang leaders, have you figured out who he is?"

Saying this, Reesi’s voice turned serious:

"I investigated thoroughly, the gang leaders who saw the mysterious person have all died in the prison riot, almost no wardens have seen that person, perhaps only the warden knows who it is.

I also checked the road and shop surveillance around the prison afterward. Interestingly, on the day the mysterious person appeared, those cameras were either under maintenance or malfunctioning, the footage was lost, making it impossible to find the person."
