Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 190: IRS and Arrest
"Your guess is correct, Luo An!"
After hearing Luo An’s analysis, Augustus smiled broadly and patted him on the shoulder very satisfied:
"That cosmetic company is indeed suspected of money laundering! The amount exceeds one hundred million, and we have already found the evidence!"
"That’s great!"
"I knew it!"
Hearing Augustus’s words, all the agents in Investigation Group Five showed joy and clapped their hands loudly in unison.
As expected, this week’s bonus has a destination again.
Everyone looked at the silhouette of Luo An, feeling as if he was glowing.
A glow of gold!
After cheering, Reesi immediately said:
"I’m going to apply for the procedures now, then go arrest the owner of that cosmetic company!"
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Reesi was about to excitedly leave the Investigation Group Five, Luo An hurriedly called after him.
Waving his hand to signal Reesi to not rush, Luo An turned and walked into the team leader’s office with Augustus.
Both sat down, Augustus asked:
"What happened, Luo An, what did you find?"
Luo An did not beat around the bush and directly said:
"It’s easy to catch the owner of the cosmetic company.
But the real mastermind behind this case is Canas, and currently, we don’t have any direct evidence related to him."
The one who contacted Rossland Lewis, the assassin, was Canas’s driver.
With Canas’s financial resources, he could entirely afford to hire a lawyer to argue his innocence in front of the judge, claiming that the matter has nothing to do with him.
Those companies controlled by women have a bunch of shell companies and limited companies behind them, and their registered locations are in the Cayman Islands.
It’s impossible to clarify the ownership structure behind it and find Canas’s money laundering evidence in a short time.
If it takes too long, it would also be detrimental to the case.
"Don’t worry, Luo An, I’ll handle this."
Hearing Luo An’s concerned words, Augustus slightly smiled, indicating he was not worried at all.
"Hmm?"
Luo An was slightly stunned, then thought of something, the worry on his face slowly disappeared, he asked:
"I wonder, Chief, how do you plan to handle it?"
"This involves money laundering of hundreds of millions of US Dollars."
Augustus picked up his coffee and took a sip, pleased with Luo An’s response speed, he replied:
"Once you guys catch the owner of the cosmetic company, leave the rest to the professionals."
Who are the professionals?
Of course, the IRS!
Hearing this, Luo An’s expression immediately brightened.
Investigating money laundering evidence is extremely troublesome, not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also requires a lot of manpower.
Their Investigation Group Five doesn’t have that many people, nor can they spend all their time on just one case.
Leaving it to the IRS, letting the IRS focus on Canas and find the evidence, not only saves time and effort, but those people are definitely more proactive than Investigation Group Five and are more eager to send Canas to prison.
Luo An and his team didn’t need to worry about being overshadowed, as their team managed the initial part of the case, and the arrestees were also caught by them.
With the suspects in their hands, the credit wouldn’t slip away.
Afterwards, not only will the bonus be securely received, but the reward after Canas is sent to prison must also be shared with their Investigation Group Five by the IRS.
Understanding this connection, Luo An looked at Augustus with great admiration.
No wonder he came from the Criminal Investigation Department, the skill of going with the flow was indeed effortless.
Seeing Luo An’s gaze, Augustus appeared calm on the surface, but was already laughing inwardly.
Finally managed to impress Luo An once, it was not easy!
Clearing his throat twice, Augustus put down his coffee cup, and said solemnly:
"So, next we must catch that cosmetic company’s owner, she is very important."
"No problem!"
Luo An nodded vigorously, that female owner was crucial to the case’s bonus, he definitely wouldn’t let her escape.
Leaving the team leader’s office, Luo An wasted no time and immediately took Reesi to the equipment storage.
Black combat uniforms, tactical helmets, plate-carrier vests, three smoke grenades, ten stun grenades, two Glock 18 subcompact pistols, five extended pistol magazines...
After prepping the equipment, Luo An and Reesi exchanged glances, grinned, and then strode out of Unit Five.
——
In a cosmetics company building in the Manhattan District, the elevator doors slowly opened, and a fully armed Luo An pressed the communicator, stepping out alongside Reesi.
"Hello."
Ignoring the gasps of the two attractive receptionists, Luo An walked directly inside the company, casually grabbed a secretary-looking Caucasian woman, and asked:
"We’re here looking for Lillany Keller."
The name of the female owner of the cosmetics company.

Seeing the fully armed Luo An and Reesi, the secretary swallowed hard and replied:
"Sorry, she’s not here."
Luo An frowned slightly, turned around, bypassed her, and went straight to the office of the boss, not even bothering to knock, just pushing the door open forcefully.
There was no one inside the office.
"Hey! You can’t do this!"
"You are going too far!"
"Do you have a search warrant?"
Seeing Luo An’s actions, besides the earlier secretary, several flamboyant Caucasian men emerged from nowhere.
But they were easily stopped by Reesi.
Seeing their colorful hairstyles and flamboyant attire, Luo An felt a pang of annoyance.
No wonder it’s a cosmetics company.
"Here’s your search warrant!"
Swallowing his discomfort, Luo An grabbed one of the loudest men and slapped the search warrant onto his chest.
Then Luo An turned to look at everyone else and said sternly:
"Listen, if you know where Lillany Keller went but don’t tell us,
believe me, I can certainly get you all thrown into jail for deceiving agents and obstructing the duties!"
"..."
Hearing Luo An’s words, everyone present fell silent.
"Hmph!"
Offering wine and not eating leads to consequences, he turned towards the female secretary with a cold glint in his eye, and asked coldly:
"Tell me, where exactly did Lillany Keller go?"
Looking at Luo An’s face up close, and the seriousness on his expression, the secretary swallowed hard and promptly replied:
"The boss went to the private airport in the south of Long Island, she left half an hour ago.
I just saw her receive a phone call, it seemed like it was from the bank which startled her, so she hurried off."
"Bank?"
The mention of the bank furrowed Luo An’s brows, confused about the bank’s involvement.
But now wasn’t the time to think about these things, he quickly walked past the secretary towards the elevator and said into the communicator:
"Did you all hear that, Mona?"
Ever since entering the company, Luo An’s communicator had been on.
"I heard!"
The sound of typing could be heard from the communicator as Mona replied:
"I just found out that Lillany Keller and Triss Perez both own shares in the same private plane.
That plane is now waiting on the runway of the private airport in the south of Long Island, and the pilot’s submitted passenger list only has Lillany Keller’s name."
"Good!"
The elevator quickly reached the first floor, and Luo An, taking Reesi, hurried towards the parking lot, saying at the same time:
"Immediately contact the air traffic control department, prevent that plane from taking off!
Also, find out who from the bank called Lillany Keller, Reesi, go and bring that person in immediately!"
"No problem!"
Two crisp acknowledgments came through the communicator, and Luo An and Reesi reached the SUV.
Turning the key and opening the car door, the jet-black SUV shot out towards Long Island like lightning.
