Chapter 657 The lost horror item
Sunday, 4:30 pm, Special Investigation Team Office.
In the open area on the far side, Winslow was exercising with dumbbells, and Chenelle was counting and doing push-ups not far away from him.
Michelle and Mona were sitting together playing with the computer. Lacey sat at her workstation and yawned loudly. She was a little too high last night and she still hasn't had a good rest.
“I hate working overtime.”
Lacie slumped in her chair and looked at Mona listlessly:
“Mona, do you know what happened this time?”
"have no idea."
Mona spread her hands, Luo An was called to the office by Veranith, and she helped call the rest of the people back.
“Perhaps another serial murder occurred somewhere.”
Winslow finished a set of exercises, put down the dumbbells, walked over, picked up the water, took a sip, and said:
“What you said makes sense.”
“When I rushed to this building just now, I saw on the news that another bank robbery had occurred in southern New York, and a large amount of money had been robbed.”
Lacie: “…”
So this case should be of the same type as the cases we have handled in the past. "
Lacie nodded, quickly moved her chair back to her work station, picked up her clothes and put them on the table to prepare for bed.
“We’ll find out when Luo An comes back.”
“This is Ms. Modlin from the federal military. She will work with us on this case.”
When Luo An comes back, it’s not certain whether he will be able to rest tonight. "
Chenelle next to her put forward her own ideas:
“Hello everyone, my name is Ophelia Modlin.”
Lacey complained with a speechless face, and Michelle next to her carefully analyzed:
“From the Special Investigation Team, to Investigation Team 13, to some time ago, we have handled many types of cases.
Lacie spread her hands:
“Homicide, murder, serial killing, bombing, bank robbery... we have dealt with too many cases.”
“But which one exactly?”
“Could it be a bank robbery?”
But before she could lie down, the door of the special investigation team's office area was suddenly pushed open, and Luo An walked in with a strange woman with an expressionless face.
“That’s New York. It’s normal to have bank robberies. It’s abnormal to have bank robberies.”
“Everyone, please introduce me.”
“This kind of thing happens every month in the federation. Maybe it will be another case that has been left in the dust for more than ten years or even decades.”
Mona smiled and patted Lacey on the shoulder and said:
“I suggest you take a good rest while you still have nothing to do.
Verenice was so anxious to call Luo An over this time, probably because of our experience.
Walking to the front of the office area, Luo An briefly introduced everyone:
The white woman looks about forty years old, with brown hair and a neat ponytail. She looks like a military person when she walks or stands. After Luo An introduced her, she nodded to everyone and said:
“Just call me Ophelia.”
"Hello."
The agents briefly greeted Ophelia, and Mona then looked at the folder in Luo An’s hand and asked:
“What is the case this time?”
Luo An's eyelids twitched and he did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ophelia next to him.
Ophelia took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
“A nuclear warhead is missing and our goal is to recover it.”
???”
!!”
After Ophelia finished speaking, the entire office area instantly became extremely quiet, and several people even stopped breathing. Winslow and Chenelle's eyes widened, Mona and Michelle's faces were full of shock, and their mouths opened unconsciously. Lacey, who was still a little sleepy, was frightened to wake up, and asked in shock. :
“Nuclear...nuclear bomb?! Are you sure?”
Lacie stuttered a little when she spoke, she was really shocked by the news.
“Not a whole nuclear bomb, just a nuclear warhead.”
Ophelia shook her head, distributed the information in the folder to everyone, and introduced:
“31 hours ago, the NSA (Federal National Security Agency), during its daily monitoring of an organization, accidentally learned that members of the organization had dug up an air-to-air missile from the Cold War era in a certain area of New Mexico.
Military database records show that the missile is equipped with a nuclear warhead at the front.
But when the NSA and other relevant departments arrived there, they only found most of the dug-out remains of the air-to-air missile, and the nuclear warhead part had been missing. "
…”
The office area is quieter.
During the Cold War, the federal military held many exercises in various models, and sometimes actually simulated aircraft carrying nuclear bombs.
But accidents will always happen, and planes flying in the sky are no exception. In order to prevent nuclear bombs from being detonated due to plane crashes, the military always requires pilots to drop the nuclear bombs from the plane first.
Since there is no detonating device, the nuclear bomb will not explode when it hits the ground. According to the military, this method is "less dangerous".
Planes of that period did not have accurate positioning devices. It was difficult to tell exactly where the nuclear bomb dropped after leaving the plane. The military could only send people to the area to conduct a large-scale screening to search for it.
Some of them were successfully found and recovered smoothly, and naturally there were also some that were lost without being found.
The federal government alone has acknowledged six such incidents of missing nuclear bombs, and there are who knows how many more who have not acknowledged it.
At least the federation has not acknowledged this air-to-air missile nuclear warhead incident. If the missile wreckage had not been dug out, this matter would have been hidden forever.
Roan rubbed his temples helplessly. He was also very shocked when he heard this from Veranith.
He knew that the federal government was often unreliable, but to be so unreliable was beyond imagination.
“So, the current situation is that a nuclear warhead is lost and I don’t know who stole it.”
After a long silence, Cheniel swallowed and asked:
“We’re going to get the nuclear warheads back, right?”
“No, we just need to find traces of it and find out whose hands it is.
As for what happens next, there are departments that specialize in dealing with nuclear bombs. "
Luo An shook his head. Although he had a system, things like nuclear bombs could not be solved by a system at all.
Had it not been for the person in charge sent by Veranith and the military to make it clear that the FBI was only responsible for finding people, and that other departments would be responsible for nuclear bomb disposal, Luo An would not have taken the case at all.
When Geiger rings, parents raise money in vain.
This sentence is often exaggerated, but when encountering a nuclear bomb, most people’s first reaction is to turn around and run away.
�
Hearing Roan’s words, Winslow, Michelle and Lacey suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief. Chenelle noticed something and then asked:
“What about radiation? We all know that radiation will be contaminated as long as you come into contact with it, and there is no way to escape it.”
Ophelia handed another document to everyone and explained:
“Those who dug out the air-to-air missiles, relevant departments have conducted professional testing on them. There are no traces of radiation on their bodies, which means that the nuclear warhead is well preserved and there is no sign of radiation leakage.
In addition, the military database also shows that the nuclear warhead's protection design is very comprehensive and there will be no radiation leakage. "
After asking some simple questions, the agents of the special investigation team relaxed a little. Mona sat back at her work station, turned on the computer and asked:
“Is there anyone you suspect?”
"certainly."
Ophelia took out a piece of paper and handed it to Mona, and replied:
"We suspect that the guy who stole the nuclear warhead is from the "Nuclear Bomb Club."
…”
