Monday, 3:30 PM, the special investigation team's office area. In the center of the office area, Mona and Michelle, based on information provided by NSA agent Iris, were investigating the situation of that assassin organization. Nearby, Winslow and Reesi, upon hearing the methods of the assassin organization, couldn't help but twitch their mouths, asking with some speechlessness: "Aren't diseases like AIDS just disgusting rather than deadly for those wealthy people? After all, there are targeted drugs." "I'm not sure about this either." Agent Iris spread her hands and said: "We have only investigated that such an event occurred, but we have no clue why the assassin organization did so." "Once we catch the assassins from that organization, we'll find out after questioning them." Luo An smiled and patted Reesi's shoulder, then turned to Mona and asked: "How is it going, any leads found?" Having worked at the FBI for such a long time, Luo An had encountered assassins, such as the male assassin Spencer in the "Hollywood Tycoon Shooting Case" (Chapter 326) and the female assassin Jianaya. These two assassins were more skilled in long-range attacks, their hand-to-hand combat abilities were average, Luo An didn't find it too difficult when fighting against them. Now that an organized group of assassins had emerged, Luo An couldn't help feeling a bit agitated deep down, eager to see the level of the assassins in this organization. "The information that agent Iris provided indicates that the assassin organization is called 'Bone Flower.'" Mona picked up the file next to her and frowned as she said: "But after a detailed search in the FBI database, I've found nothing." Bone Flower, a flower that grows in parts of Europe, the Federation, and North Africa, is predominantly pale red when in bloom, very beautiful. However, once it comes to seed pod formation and shedding, it presents a terrifying sight; the shape of the entire flower resembles a human skull, and it has always been believed to possess magical powers in ancient cultures. Luo An's eyebrows raised as he looked towards Michelle, who also shook her head: "I haven't found any information related to this organization either." Standing aside with her arms crossed over her chest, Chenier's brow was furrowed. She looked at Iris and asked: "Does this assassin organization really exist? Where did you find it?" Winslow and Reesi also looked at her with some skepticism. "It definitely exists." Iris's face was serious as she nodded emphatically: "As for how we found out... I'm sorry, I cannot answer that." Upon hearing this, the office area fell into a sudden silence; even Mona and Michelle, who had been typing on keyboards, stopped and looked up at Iris. Reesi looked at Iris with some irritation and said: "Every time we collaborate with other departments, you agents always beat around the bush. Either you don't have the authority, or your clearance isn't high enough, and you never make things clear." Luo An's expression unchanged, he turned and stared at Iris, asking: "Is the name of this assassin organization something you got while NSA was eavesdropping on others?" NSA, National Security Bureau, its main task being to monitor the phone calls, internet, faxes, and satellite communications of the Federation's populace to investigate and uncover drug traffickers, significant criminals, terrorists, and dissenting extremists. That's the official explanation; in truth, the NSA's work is predominantly surveilling the ordinary citizens of the Federation, aiming to "nip dangers in the bud." "I'm sorry, Group Leader Luo An, I..." Luo An waved his hand to interrupt her: "You only need to say yes or no." Iris hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath: Sensing the judgment made by "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An hooked the corner of his mouth slightly and then asked: "Are you a hundred percent certain of the existence of this assassin organization?" "What is its range of operation? The Federation? Europe? Africa? Or all of them?" "We're not clear yet." "So, how did you determine that the murderer of the former NSA director Eric Baldwin is from this assassin organization?" Iris's facial muscles twitched and she no longer answered. Seeing this, Luo An slightly narrowed his eyes and asked one by one: "Did you discover surveillance?" No significant emotional fluctuation, wrong guess. "Did you get the information through wiretapping?" Emotion fluctuated, correct guess. Luo An suddenly realized, and then he asked: "Who is the person the NSA tapped? Where is he now? What is the connection between him and that assassin?" Iris stood there dumbfounded, clearly not speaking, yet Luo An made such a quick and confident deduction. "Welcome to the Luo An investigation team, boasting a one hundred percent case-solving rate, Ms. Iris." Seeing the expression on Iris's face, Winslow and Chenier broke into laughter together, while Reesi grinned and patted Iris's shoulder, saying with some pride: "Trust me, in the FBI, Group Leader Luo An's micro-expression analysis skills are unrivaled. He claims he's second best, and no one dares to claim they're first." Over time and across different cases, Luo An had consistently made accurate judgments during interrogations. Now everyone believed that Luo An was a highly accurate micro-expression analysis master. The Agents of the Special Investigation Team had no doubts, neither did others in the FBI; they even occasionally asked Luo An for assistance when they faced difficulties. They were very grateful and offered gifts after help was provided. Hearing Reesi speak and recalling the rumors about Luo An within the NSA prior to being temporarily assigned to the Special Investigation Team, Iris's eyelids twitched, realizing she had underestimated the value of the group leader of the investigation team with a one hundred percent case-solving rate. Taking a deep breath, Iris suppressed the shock in her heart, and said: "Group Leader Luo An, we at the NSA only monitor criminals; we do not wiretap Federation citizens. The information that the murderer is from the 'Bone Flower' assassin organization came to us unexpectedly." Luo An nodded, and both Winslow and Chenier nodded as well. Reesi even agreed, saying: "Understood, life always has its surprises." Seeing that everyone had a 'I understand you have a friend' expression, Iris's mouth twitched, but she still said: "After the hospital detected the director had been poisoned, we looked into the director's schedule during that period and discovered a suspicious individual. Orıginal content can be found at NovelHub(.)net That person consciously avoided surveillance, his face couldn't be seen, but in the background noise of a call made by a resident... a suspected criminal, we heard the suspicious person briefly mention the 'Bone Flower Killer Organization.'" Luo An's eyes flickered, and he asked: "Can't you check the call records or the recordings of that suspicious person?" "Firstly, we at the NSA do not monitor Federation citizens." Iris repeated, shaking her head, then explained: "Secondly, the suspicious individual used a disposable phone purchased on the black market. After making the call, the phone was smashed and thrown into a sewer. We can't find it." Mona stopped her typing and summed up: "So, all we know now is that there is a 'Bone Flower' assassin organization and that one of its assassins is a suspect in the murder case of the former NSA director. But we cannot find any information on the organization, nor track any appearance or effective information of that assassin." Chenier and Reesi frowned, and after a short consideration, Luo An asked: "Iris, who is that AIDS-infected tycoon? Where did you get this information from?"
