Chapter 677 Polonium 210
Luo An finally rejected Louise. Not to mention the possibility of being in close contact for a few months and the system in his mind being discovered.
From Mona’s perspective alone, it is impossible for Roan to agree to Louise.
A few months later... Luo An had already imagined in Luo An's mind the scene where Mona looked at him coldly and said nothing, then kicked him out of bed at night.
Coupled with the fact that it is not convenient to reveal the details of some cases, and Louise’s minister father, Luo An’s only choice is to reject the other party.
However, Louise helped him after all when he used her hand to contact Deputy Minister of Defense Hernandez.
Luo An thought for a moment and called Louise to contact her superior, the FBI's Washington headquarters, Senior Assistant to the Secretary of Crime, Cyber, Response and Services, Veranith.
Veriness has the authority to read and view a lot of case documents. In addition, she knows the rules and knows how to measure, which can definitely meet Louise's need to accumulate materials.
The dinner was over and we drove away. It was already late at night when Luo An returned to the villa.
Mona did not sleep, but sat on the sofa watching TV and waiting for Luan, and made him some midnight snacks.
"Wow."
Luo An was a little confused. There were seven departments under the Ministry of National Defense: the Army Department, the Navy Department, the Air Force Department, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the National Reconnaissance Office. They couldn't personally investigate any cases.
In the office, Mr. Clement didn’t waste any time. He handed a dark gray document directly to Veranith and introduced:
“This case is indeed a special case, and it is not suitable for the Ministry of National Defense to conduct an investigation in person.
“The director of the Ministry of National Defense has told me the situation there.”
——
In other words, they do not have the appropriate department to conduct the investigation. "
"Um"
The next day, Monday, as soon as Luo An arrived at the office area of the Special Investigation Team, he received a call from Veranith and went to Mr. Clement’s office with her.
“…The examination results showed that there was a small amount of polonium 210 in the victim’s body, and he died of radiation poisoning…”
After finishing the supper, Luo An washed the dishes, took a shower and entered Mona's bedroom. The two hugged each other and fell asleep.
Veranith next to her opened the folder. Inside was a photo of a white man, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He was wearing a suit and facing the camera with a standard eight-toothed smile.
"Thanks."
Looking at the steaming food in the kitchen, Luo An smiled and hugged Mona from behind, kissed Mona's ear lightly, and laughed softly:
Luo An turned his head in confusion. Veranith swallowed and handed him the folder. Luo An looked down and found that there was not much content in it.
Seeing the word polonium-210 in the document, Luo An also had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
This is why Luo An and Mona like each other. Sometimes they do quarrel, but they always think about each other more often.
A month ago, the former director of the NSA died in the hospital. The cause of death was announced to be complications from cancer, but the real cause of death was actually poisoning.
The white man’s name is Eric Baldwin, and his identity is nothing special. He is just the former director of the Federal National Security Agency (NSA) who retired less than half a year ago.
Furthermore, it is an inert element and has almost no chemical reaction with other substances. It is difficult to be metabolized and decomposed by the human body and difficult to be excreted from the body. Its presence in the body is almost equal to waiting for death slowly.
Seeing the message under the photo, Veranith's pupils shrank suddenly and she exclaimed:
“Isn’t it a normal death? Is it poisoning?!”
Polonium 210, a radioactive element, has a very short half-life but is very radioactive.
When it decays, it will release high-energy traces, seriously damaging human cells and tissues, and is very toxic. A very small intake is enough to cause poisoning and death in the human body.
“Is it made in Vodka Country?”
Just as Luo An was recalling the information about polonium 210, Veranith frowned and asked aloud:
“But if it was done by Vodka Country, why did it come to us, the FBI?”
Luo An also frowned. The water between countries was too deep and he couldn't control it. He didn't want to wade through it at all.
Mr. Clement leaned back in his chair, shook his head and said:
“Although after this incident broke out, the National Security Agency (NSA), the Central Security Service (CSS), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and other departments all claimed internally that it was done by the Vodka State. But in fact, everyone knew it in their hearts. , the real culprit behind this incident is not Vodka Country."
The Cold War and the decades after the end of the Cold War have allowed the Federation to develop a habit of throwing blame on the Vodka Country no matter what.
This can be seen in Hollywood movies. The final villains in most movies are people from the country of vodka.
As operators, people at the top of the federal government know what is true and what is false.
However, over time, blaming others has become a kind of political correctness. Even they themselves will subconsciously think about Vodka Country when encountering something.
You tell so many lies that you start to believe them.
Hearing that the culprit behind the scenes was not Vodka Country, Veranith breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
“Then who is the real mastermind of this matter?”
"have no idea."
Mr. Clement turned his attention to Roan and said:
“That’s why this matter came to us.”
Over the course of more than a month, after investigations by the National Security Agency (NSA), the Central Security Service (CSS), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and other departments, it was determined that the person responsible was not from Vodka Country.
After habitually throwing away the blame, these departments suddenly discovered that since it was not a matter between countries, this case became a simple poison murder case.
The deceased Eric Baldwin was the former director of the Federal National Security Agency (NSA) who had just retired less than half a year ago.
There are many political enemies, including within these departments, so the National Security Agency (NSA), Central Security Service (CSS), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and other departments were all stunned:
It’s broken, I’m a suspect!
“This is really…”
Veranith's face trembled, and she opened her mouth not knowing what to say.
Mr. Clement found another folder, opened it and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Luo An. There were several stamps on the paper. He introduced:
“This is an executive order issued by the Federal Vice President, which allows the investigation of the person in charge of the case. When encountering certain special circumstances, act first and find evidence later.”
Polonium-210 is an extremely dangerous assassination weapon because it is extremely toxic and difficult to detect, allowing criminals who commit assassinations to commit crimes with confidence.
Since the National Security Agency (NSA) and other departments have determined that the real behind-the-scenes culprit is not the Vodka Nation, but individuals, certain organizations, or even people in their departments, the case has become the scope of the FBI's responsibilities.
After a brief discussion, Luo An and the two took the relevant documents and left Mr. Clement’s office.
Veranith returned to her office to help her contacts investigate clues in those departments of the Ministry of Defense, while Luo An returned to the special investigation team.
That afternoon, there was a knock on the door of the office area of the Special Investigation Team, and a female agent wearing glasses, with short brown hair, and about 1.65 meters tall walked in.
She is an NSA agent who was temporarily seconded, named Elise.
“We found the suspected poisoner.”
After briefly introducing her identity, Elise handed the documents she brought directly to Luo An and said:
“The other party is from a professional killer organization.”
“Killer organization?!”
Hearing this word, Luo An's eyes narrowed slightly and his heart skipped a beat. Elise thought that Luo An didn't understand the organization's situation, so she introduced:
“This killer organization is very unscrupulous in order to achieve its goals.”
"for example?"
“For example, they specially trained an AIDS team to kill a rich man who liked women very much.”
…”
