Chapter 784: Chapter 784

In line with the principle of environmental protection, Luo An and his group loaded all equipment including tents and stoves into the cars, gathered all the trash, and left the camping site spotless.

Luo An and the others drove in two large SUVs; Winslow’s family and Michelle took one car, while Luo An, Mona, and Chenier took another.

As for Reesi, she said she would first take Evelyn back, then catch up with the main group of the special investigation team later.

Everyone started their cars and set off, with Luo An driving in front, followed by Winslow.

On the passenger seat, Mona was typing on her laptop and occasionally gave a big yawn, clearly having not slept well the night before.

After a moment, Mona stopped typing, her eyebrows slightly furrowed:

"Luo An, I looked up the information of the policemen Fres and Duarte from last night. Their identities seem legit,

but those murderers they mentioned, I couldn’t find any information on them."

Sitting in the backseat fiddling with her phone, Chenier, hearing this, asked somewhat surprised:

"Could those two policemen have lied to us?"

Luo An, driving, laughed and asked back:

"What would they gain by deceiving us with such a story?"

Mona was silent for a few seconds, then looked up and said:

"Scare the women with the story of murderers, then hit on them?"

"Clear thinking, interesting starting point."

Luo An nodded in approval:

"Let’s not go down that path in the future."

Mona rolled her eyes, closed her laptop, and asked:

"Then what do you think is going on?"

"I don’t know, don’t understand, don’t want to guess."

Luo An slightly modified the playboy’s three ’don’ts’ principle and laughed:

"The Federation is the freest and most democratic country in the world, where about 113 people die from gun violence daily, and murders are countless; the social customs are very simple. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel※fire.net

We came here for a camping vacation, it’s a rare opportunity to take a break from cases, no need to get involved in someone else’s case."

Murders in the East may attract a lot of attention and might even make the news.

But in the free and democratic Federation, unless the victim has a special identity, or the method of death is unique, it is just another death, too commonplace; it wouldn’t even make it to community news, let alone the television.

’Minding one’s own business’ is a term derived from the bloody and tearful experiences of the common people in the Federation and it’s one of the most useful life lessons.

Luo An had long moved up from the grassroots to a higher social class, but ’minding one’s own business’ often remains very useful.

Mona understood the implication behind Luo An’s words, nodded, set aside her laptop, and stopped inquiring. Chenier also settled back into her seat and resumed fiddling with her phone.

There was a moment of silence in the car, then Luo An’s phone suddenly rang. He casually pulled it out and pressed the answer button:

"Hello, this is Luo An Greenwood."

"Good morning, Luo An."

A familiar male voice came through on the other end of the phone, sounding quite cheerful:

"It’s me, Trick Kennedy."

Hearing the identity of the caller, Luo An was a bit surprised, but still smiled and greeted:

Trick Kennedy, Deputy Director of the Internal Threats Office at FBI Washington Headquarters, Luo An first met him during the "First Lady Bombing Case" (Chapter 221)

Later, when Luo An joined the Washington Headquarters, Trick assigned him to investigate and handle the "Arms Dealer Island Case" (Chapter 514), and shortly after that case was concluded, Trick Kennedy successfully became the Director of the Internal Threats Office.

During this period, Luo An was invited to have dinner at his home.

In the course of investigating other cases, Luo An kept in touch with Trick Kennedy, and the two had no conflicts; their relationship was still quite good.

Memories flickered in his mind, and when he heard the happy voice of Trick Kennedy on the other end of the phone, Luo An’s eyes flickered slightly and he smiled:

"It sounds like the boss is in a good mood today."

Trick Kennedy on the other end didn’t beat around the bush and directly said with a laugh:

"Mr. Clement has been promoted and joined the Department of Justice, and I’ve just received orders from the chief to take over his position."

"Wow, that’s great news, congratulations to the boss!"

While Luo An loudly congratulated him, a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

Although he had a good relationship with Trick Kennedy, Luo An had never thought that he would take Mr. Clement’s place.

After all, the Kennedy surname and the story behind it are somewhat too complex.

However, from another perspective, the fact that the Kennedy family has come this far indicates that they still have quite a few connections and support behind them.

It’s unexpected yet somewhat reasonable that Trick Kennedy would take over Mr. Clement’s position, as one of the rules of the federal game is the exchange of interests.

Hearing Luo An’s words of congratulations, Trick Kennedy on the phone became even more joyful and amid the laughter didn’t forget the real purpose of the call and said:

"Luo An, today is Sunday, next Saturday at eight in the evening, there will be a charity dinner at the Kennedy family estate, and I have already sent someone to deliver your invitation; you must attend."

Some thoughts flashed through Luo An’s mind, but his tone remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile:

"Chief, can you tell me what kind of charity dinner it is? I’ll see if I need to prepare something in advance."

"The details are in the invitation; you can check them later."

Trick Kennedy chuckled on the phone and continued:

"As for preparations, you just need to come to the dinner; no other preparations are necessary."

"Wow, thank you, Chief."

Luo An didn’t take Trick Kennedy’s subsequent words to heart, and out of politeness, the necessary preparations couldn’t be ignored.

However, Trick Kennedy’s later remarks also revealed quite a bit of information, indicating that he now values Luo An highly.

After a brief discussion, Trick Kennedy emphasized again that Luo An must attend the dinner and then hung up the phone proactively.

In the passenger seat, Mona’s brows were tightly knit as she asked in a low voice:

"Luo An, was it Chief Trick Kennedy?"

Luo An nodded, put away his phone, and after a short silence, Mona asked quietly:

"Luo An, about the Kennedy family..."

From the back seat, Chenier was also looking at Luo An with a solemn gaze.

The assassination of President Kennedy is definitely one of those events in federal history that cannot be erased and will always be remembered.

What exactly lies behind that event, the public still doesn’t know; only a plethora of possibilities and conspiracy theories are well-known.

Regardless of the truth, the Kennedy family is seen by many as continuously entangled with trouble.

With this in mind, both Mona and Chenier did not want Luo An to get too involved with the Kennedy family.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

Facing the concerned gaze of the two women, Luo An smiled and gestured for them not to worry too much.

Luo An had also seriously considered the interest disputes behind the Kennedy family before, but Mr. Clement’s promotion to the Department of Justice and Trick Kennedy taking over, made Luo An realize another matter.

That is, Mr. Clement’s side had already made contact with the Kennedy family, involving an exchange of interests.

Adding to what Mr. Clement had previously said about choosing sides, Luo An’s mind raced, and he had already formed his own ideas.

Just as Mona was about to continue speaking, Luo An’s phone rang again; he pressed the answer key, and Reesi’s voice came through:

"Luo An, someone is looking for you."
