Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 255: The Smell of Spoiled, Urine, Stink, and Salted Fish
New York Queens District in a certain community.
The ringtone of a cell phone sounded, and Luo An immediately stood up and walked to one side of the room.
"This is Luo An."
"It's me, Led."
The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit noisy, but Led's words were still very clear:
"The mission is successfully completed, we've captured Elude Brook with no casualties."
This operation merely involved arresting an ordinary, untrained youth. For Led, Reesi, and that group of SWAT members, it was really too simple.
"Good."
Luo An nodded, but he sensed something slightly off in Led's tone, and immediately asked:
"Is there a problem?"
"Uh, there is a problem, but it's not with Elude Brook."
Before Led finished speaking, Reesi snatched the phone away. Reesi's voice was a bit low, but her tone somewhat schadenfreude:
"Luo An, we just arrested Elude Brook at the entrance of St. John Hospital. After our operation, the doctor taking care of Patient Zero, Matthew Ethan, informed us that they had just detected the early presence of Kaposi's sarcoma and two other types of tumors in Matthew Ethan's body."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Luo An's eyebrows twitched slightly. Kaposi's sarcoma is a common complication in AIDS patients, and in most cases, people afflicted with it only have about 1-3 years left to live.
With the other tumors present in his body... Matthew Ethan didn't have much in the way of savings at this moment, his remaining time was clearly numbered.
Yet for Matthew Ethan, who brought this upon himself, was selfish and harmed many others, Luo An didn't feel any sympathy, so he calmly said:
"Reesi, it's fine to be a bit happy about it, just bring Elude Brook back first."
"OK."
Reesi chuckled, nodded in agreement, and then hung up the phone.
Luo An put his phone back in his pocket and sat back down on the sofa. Meanwhile, Grandmother Lan Rui Sha was introducing her daughter Polly's situation to Mona.
"I really regret giving birth to her!"
Based on her demeanor and manner of speaking, Lan Rui Sha seemed like a very cultured elderly woman.
But when she talked about her daughter Polly, her face filled with anger:
"From childhood, Polly has always been a mischievous child, but her father and I didn't care much, as it's normal for young children to be lively.
But as she grew older, Polly only became more extreme, not only skipping school, but also hanging out with bad influences, and eventually even getting into drugs!"
Mona and Luo An frowned upon hearing this, as those involved with drugs often don't end up well.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
As expected, Lan Rui Sha continued:
"Then one day, Polly came back suddenly with a swollen belly, but stubbornly refused to tell us who the father of the child was.
Having no other choice, her father and I had to bear the cost of childbirth and named the child Ansel Ward..."
"OK."
Mona quickly wrote down these details in her notebook, then asked:
"So, have you been taking care of Little Ansel all this time?"
"Us taking care of him?"
Lan Rui Sha sneered:
"Sometimes Polly would ask me to look after Little Ansel for a night, then she would completely disappear for months.
Then she would come back sober, claiming she had quit drugs, and asked me to return Little Ansel to her..."
Lan Rui Sha said that she did not want to hand over Little Ansel to Polly, but as she aged and her husband had died during this period, she lacked the energy and chose to trust Polly once, as she was Little Ansel's mother.
But from the current situation, Polly was, as before, still untrustworthy.
Mona continued writing and asked:
"When was the last time you saw Little Ansel?"
"About six or seven months ago."
"And Polly?"
"Same, I haven't seen her since then."
Mona furrowed her brow upon hearing this, and Luo An, who was sitting beside her, stood up and asked:
"Miss Lan Rui Sha, do you have a photo of Polly here?"
————
The black SUV slowly moved along the road, not because Luo An didn't want to step on the gas fully, but because Mona on the passenger seat was searching for that Polly through her laptop.
In the photo Lan Rui Sha handed to Luo An and Mona, Polly was a white girl with golden short hair, a delicate face, and an overall exuberant appearance.
Luo An briefly looked at the photo and casually tossed it aside:
"What a pity, she's gotten into bad habits."
"Even if she hadn't gotten into bad habits, Polly probably wouldn't have been a good mother."
Mona, typing on the keyboard in the passenger seat, casually remarked:
"I had a high school classmate who looked a lot like Polly, also chose to drop out early and hang out with a group of guys from who knows where.
We chatted a while ago, and although she hasn't gotten into bad habits, her husband is missing, and she either beats or scolds her child, her whole life is a complete mess."
Luo An, somewhat puzzled, asked:
"Which high school classmate? When did you get in touch?"
"Just a while ago, when I had just moved into your apartment."
Mona answered casually:
"She was in urgent need of money, so she contacted me."
Luo An slightly frowned:
"Did you lend it to her?"
"Of course not!"
Mona pouted, her relationship with that female classmate was merely speaking terms during high school, not close at all, but now she was coming to borrow money from her.
Mona judged, it was very likely that she had already borrowed from all her acquaintances repeatedly without repayment, leading to no one willing to lend to her anymore, hence she started contacting someone like Mona who she wasn't very close with.
Hearing this, Luo An subtly breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Mona "tap" hit the keyboard and chuckled:
"OK! I found this Polly!"
"Great, thank you for your hard work!"
Luo An gripped the steering wheel tightly:
"Where is this woman now?"
"The record shows she is in a women's shelter in the Brooklyn District, located at 114A Monastery Street."
————
Half an hour later, inside the shelter.
Showing the golden FBI badge to the person in charge of the shelter, Luo An pulled out a photo of Polly, and the person nodded:
"Yes, Dina is indeed in this shelter."
Mona raised an eyebrow:
"Dina?"
Luo An didn't mind this matter, a fake name was common, so he directly asked:
"Where is she now?"
"She is inside."
The person in charge pointed towards the dense beds inside the shelter and shrugged:
"You guys go look for her, I don't know exactly where."
"OK."
Here, Journalist is the women's shelter, so most of the women inside dressed very casually.
Seeing Luo An, a handsome and good-looking man come in, some young women quickly pulled up their clothes to cover their key areas, while older women didn't mind and even whistled at Luo An.
Already used to fine tastes by Mona, Luo An simply couldn't be bothered with these women, especially with the mix of sour, urine, stench, and salted fish smells in the shelter.
Particularly the salted fish smell, even though Luo An was steadfast, he still felt a bit nauseous.
Holding his breath and searching one by one, Luo An had just searched half of the left side of the shelter when suddenly Mona's shout came from the right side:
"Stop! Don't run!"
