“It’s that girl in the spaghetti strap dress, but why is she here?”

Roan recognized her at a glance. He quickly put away his gun and checked her condition. He found that the girl had been shot in the shoulder and that excessive blood loss was the main reason for her unconciousness.

Mona looked at the girl who was pale and breathing more and more rapidly. She was extremely anxious and subconsciously looked at Roan.

“I remember that she left before this… What should we do? I just threw the first-aid kit to the patrol on the mountain!”

“I’m fine.”

Roan’s eyes moved slightly and he said in a deep voice, “She shouldn’t be moved in her current condition. Drive back to the patrol and get the first-aid kit. I’ll call the nearby hospital and ask them to send an ambulance here.”

“Okay.”

Mona nodded, put away her gun, and hurriedly drove the SUV back the way they came.

Seeing that the SUV had completely disappeared, Roan first called the hospital to get them to send an ambulance over. Then, he turned around to confirm that Conrad was still unconscious. Only then did he relax and open the light blue system page, taking out the bottle of hemostatic medicine.

This was the first time that Roan had used a medicine prescribed by the system. The medicine was contained in a small transparent glass bottle that was five centimeters tall and square. It was completely red in color. He opened the bottle cap and smelled it, but there was no smell.

Seeing that the words on the glass bottle were ‘oral’, Roan pried open the girl’s mouth and poured the entire bottle of medicine into it.

A few seconds later, the wound on the girl’s shoulder had not healed, but it was no longer bleeding.

A moment later, Mona returned in her SUV. Before she could get out of the car, Roan snatched the first-aid kit from her. By the time Mona got out of the car and walked to the girl’s side, Roan had already bandaged the girl’s wound.

Mona did not think much about it, but thought that Roan was anxious to save the girl’s life.

“Right, Mona.”

After bandaging the girl’s wound, Roan turned to Mona and asked, “Have you thought about which investigation team you’ll go to after you become an official agent?”

“?”

…

An hour later, Roan and Mona returned to the 23rd floor of the Jacob Federal Building.

At this moment, the intern agent’s office was brightly lit. It was extremely lively. The intern agents who had run around in vain looked enviously at Roan and Mona who were sitting at the front of the office, whispering with their heads lowered.

According to the relevant regulations of the internship period, after an intern agent solved the case, they had to tell the entire case to the senior agents in charge of the intern agent. After listening, the senior agent would ask questions and give marks according to the intern’s performance.

This score determined which position the intern agent would take in the investigation team after becoming a full-time agent. For example, a technical agent who searched for information, a field agent who went to the field, and so on.

“He was just a little luckier than us and found the clues of the murderer before us.”

Jody, who was standing in Fisher’s position but had been beaten up by Roan, took a sip of coffee from his teammate. He looked at Roan and Mona and said disdainfully, “I heard that they destroyed a car from the headquarters when they were arresting people. I wonder how the team supervisor will punish them later.”

“It’s definitely a deduction of salary.”

The bespectacled intern agent sitting next to Jody smiled.

“I went to ask around. They destroyed the latest SUV of our Criminal Investigation Division. Think about the rumors about the team supervisor, Veronica…”

“You mean stingy…”

“Ahem.”

At this point, the two of them looked at each other in amusement and waited for a good show.

The team supervisor they were talking about was called Veronica. She was the direct superior of the team leaders of Investigation Teams 1 to 5, and she was also the woman who held the funds for the operations of the five investigation teams.

Alina, who had overheard their conversation, glanced at them with disdain.

They had the nerve to say that others were lucky. Jody’s team’s way of thinking about finding the murderer was all wrong! Even if it was not Roan and Mona who found the real culprit, it definitely would not be Jody and the others.

With this in mind, Alina turned her gaze to Roan, who was at the very front. Her eyes gradually blurred as she began to savor Roan’s handsome profile.

“They’re coming over.”

The door of the office was pushed open. The intern agents hurriedly stopped talking and sat upright, trying to leave a good impression on the senior agents who were listening to the case.

To the interns’ surprise, although the person who pushed open the door was the senior agent they were familiar with, the first person to enter the office was actually the team supervisor, Veronica!

“What?”

“Team Supervisor Veronica?”

“Why is she here?”

The intern agent’s office immediately buzzed when they saw the expressionless team supervisor, Veronica, who was wearing a women’s suit and had short hair.

Behind her were the team leaders of the five investigation teams. The six of them sat at the front of the office. The senior agent who was usually responsible for listening to the case had no place to sit, so he could only stand at the side of the office.

As one of the people involved in the case, Mona was also a little confused. She did not understand how a small murder case could attract the attention of the team supervisor. After she could not figure out the reason, she subconsciously looked at Roan.

“…”

Roan actually did not understand why he had attracted the attention of his superior’s superior, but he did not care. He would deal with whatever came his way. He had not done anything against the rules. He stood up decisively, smiled, and led Mona to the front of the office.

Ignoring Team Leader Bronson, whose expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Roan gestured for Mona to place the materials on the laptop in front of the team supervisor, Veronica. He coughed twice and laughed.

“Good evening, officers. I am Roan, an intern agent. This is my teammate, Mona, an intern agent too.”

After briefly introducing the time and place of death of the deceased, Roan began to explain everything that happened after midnight. First, he determined the murderer’s escape route in the park. Then, according to the autopsy report, he found the bar that the deceased had been to before he died. From there, he learned the identity of the second person who followed the deceased. He followed the clues and met the murderer outside the stalker’s villa. Finally, he fought with the murderer and finally managed to catch the real murderer after a desperate fight.

Mona was speechless.

The intern agents were dumbfounded by the story. The leaders of the investigation team were also quite engrossed in it, including the leader of Investigation Team No. 1, Bronson.

Except for the team supervisor, Veronica.

After seeing that Roan had finished recounting the day’s events, Veronica expressionlessly flipped open the notebook in her hand. After a few seconds of silence, she asked,

“The murderer, Conrad, is a veteran. Why did he kill the war journalist, Mike Robert, and the New York University professor, West Watts? What’s the reason?”

Hearing her question, everyone who was immersed in Roan’s story came back to their senses.

That’s right, Luo An only caught the murderer, but he did not explain why the murderer would do that. What was the reason? Was it a personal grudge or an old grudge?

“Sorry, Ma’am.”

Augustus hurriedly gave Roan a look and explained, “Roan is an intern detective. He doesn’t have the qualifications to interrogate Conrad, so he…”

“That’s why Roan can’t answer your question, Ma’am.”

Investigation Team No. 1’s leader, Bryson, smiled and continued Augustus’s words.

Augustus’s face instantly turned darker than the bottom of a pot.
