Chapter 124 124: Where is Jacques' Hidden Location?
"In the interrogation room, that's Thomas, real name Demonti Adams."
Seeing the look in Vireness's eyes, Mona beside her tapped away on the keyboard then explained:
"His background is similar to Jacques's. Both were soldiers who got screwed over by John King."
"OK."
Upon hearing Mona's words, Vireness nodded, then tilted her head towards everyone indicating that the case ends here. The warrant for Jacques's arrest would be issued immediately. It was almost time to get off work—those who should leave, leave; those who should go home, go home."
"Thank you, Chief!"
Hearing this, all agents from Team 5 cheered.
Vireness's mouth curved slightly in response, and after giving Luo An a satisfied glance, she turned and left the place.
Mona raised an eyebrow and tilted her head towards Augustus, asking doubtfully:
"Chief, are we still going to interrogate Demonti?"
Hearing this, Augustus patted his big belly, but said nothing.
Previously, having Luo An and Reesi capture Demonti and bring him back served two purposes: the case was still under Team 5's jurisdiction at that time and they were also worried that if the CIA caught the criminal before them, the initiative would switch sides.
But tomorrow, this case would no longer belong to Team 5, and Vireness had indicated that this case is over, hence...
"We could still interrogate."
After a few seconds of thought, Augustus's broad black face broke into a smile:
"It's said that the bounty on the warrant for Jacques is worth 1 million US dollars.
If you guys manage to get Demonti to reveal Jacques's hiding spot..."
Upon hearing this, Mona's eyes immediately gleamed, before she quickly turned her head, casting her gaze towards Luo An who was beside her.
Seeing the look in Mona's eyes, Luo An cracked a smile, took a sip of coffee, and then entered the interrogation room with Mona.
Forty minutes later, Luo An and Mona emerged from the interrogation room.
"Why so long?"
Sitting at her desk, Reesi stretched lazily and pointed at the clock at the front of Team 5's office area, laughing:
"There's only five minutes left until we're off work. Did you guys find out anything useful?"
"No."
Mona shook her head in dejection, throwing her notebook onto the desk and sighing deeply.
Seeing this, Reesi raised an eyebrow and turned her gaze to Luo An.
Facing Reesi's puzzled look, Luo An, with a face of helplessness, tossed the file folder aside, took another sip of coffee, and then slowly began to explain.
During the interrogation of Demonti with Mona, Demonti remained silent throughout.
Not only that, Luo An could see in Demonti's eyes, not the slightest glimmer of life.
The man was clearly in a state of spirit as if his great vengeance had been satisfied, and he had no regrets in death.
Furthermore, the information Mona had gathered showed that Demonti's parents were deceased, he had no brothers or sisters, no wife or children, a true loner.
Facing a man with nothing to lose, Luo An and Mona had exhausted all methods but still couldn't get Demonti to talk.
In the end, Luo An and Mona unanimously decided:
The bounty was tempting, but they would let it go.
Firstly, Jacques's counter-investigation skills and planning abilities were very strong.
Whether it's the car accident or the bombing, Jacques had never shown his face.
Previously, when William investigated the ambulance driver, and the surveillance footage from that building and its vicinity, he only ever saw Jacques entering and exiting the building's entrance.
But after leaving the building entrance, Jacques would completely disappear, as if he evaporated from that area.
Where he is now is probably only known by Demonti, but Demonti is not talking.
Even the location known to Demonti may not be Jacques's actual hiding place.
Facing this situation, in a densely populated area like New York, it would be impossible to find Jacques in a short time without future big data analytics.
Secondly, because John King betrayed Jacques and his comrades for money...
To be honest, if Luo An had experienced the same thing, he would also choose revenge.
The only issue is that during his revenge, Jacques caused a car accident that mistakenly killed the innocent Ivande, and also created a bomb that inadvertently hurt a bunch of bystanders...
Jacques's bounty is indeed high, and Luo An also wants it. If he happens to encounter the other party in the future, Luo An will definitely make his move to arrest him.
But for now, Jacques is nowhere to be found in the short term, plus both of these cases were messed up by that damned CIA, so Luo An can't be bothered to clean up after them.
The interrogation was not completely finished, but it was already time to call it a day.
All the agents of Team Five went their separate ways; Mona took her notebook back to her recently purchased small apartment, Led went home by car to see his children, and Luo An...
Followed Reesi to the location on the little card.
Mainly to see the world.
"Hmph."
Sitting in the passenger seat of the Chevrolet, Reesi, hearing Luo An's words, curled her lips:
"Once we get inside, we must split up.
Whatever we do tonight, how many people we meet, it's all up to our own abilities.
But there's one condition, we can't make a move on a person the other is interested in, OK?"
"No problem!"
Stepping on the accelerator, the Chevrolet easily passed the Buick ahead, and Luo An turned to ask with a smile:
"But what if we both take a liking to the same person?"
Reesi, taking out cosmetics from who knows where and slowly applying them to her face, heard Luo An's question and smirked jokingly:
"Then we leave the choice to that person we both fancy, to see who she picks!"
Reesi had been to many of these fun places and was quite experienced, so she had a lot of confidence in herself.
"That's agreed then!"
Luo An had a handsome face and a good build, so he was also very confident in himself.
Nodding in agreement, Luo An turned the steering wheel, and the Chevrolet sped through the non-stop traffic on the road, overtaking car after car.
Feeling Luo An's increasing speed, Reesi stealthily checked her seatbelt. After making sure everything was fine, she swallowed and said:
"Luo An, it's off-work time now. We're not going to catch Jacques, there's no need to drive so fast."
Reesi had been wondering these days, Luo An always drove so fast, had he never encountered an NYPD patrol officer giving him a speeding ticket?
"Reesi, there's a saying on the other side of the ocean in the East, 'Time is money!'"
Luo An laughed, indicating that he valued money and never wasted it.
"Bullshit."
Having finished her makeup, Reesi magically disappeared the cosmetics and tossed Luo An a pair of sanitary balls, shouting loudly:
"Indeed, time equals money, but money can't buy time! Damn it, Luo An, slow down!
I don't want to end up like John King, losing all my time for the sake of money!"
Reesi, a pure American, may not have provided the most appropriate example, but Luo An understood the message in her words.
For the sake of experiencing more of life in the future, Luo An still chose to slow down the car gradually.
"Hmph."
Reesi snorted coldly, pulled out her phone, and started tapping away. After a while, she asked quietly:
"By the way, Luo An, do you think the CIA will be able to find Jacques?"
Luo An turned his head, puzzled, "Why do you ask?"
"William just messaged me, saying the CIA folks want to take Demonti away now."
Reesi showed the message on her phone to Luo An and shrugged:
"He suspects the CIA might have gotten some new clues we don't know about."
"It's not impossible."
Luo An glanced at the phone, frowning slightly:
"The CIA bunch never utter a word of truth, who knows what clues they're hiding.
Besides, they've been monitoring Jacques for a while, they might have deduced Jacques's next... target based on his past activities."
As he spoke, Luo An abruptly stopped, then his expression changed drastically, and he cursed out loud:
"Fu-k! I know where Jacques is hiding!"
What do you think?
