Legendary FBI Detective

"Uh..."

Regarding the question posed by Luo An, Reesi's facial expression was somewhat bizarre:

"The public reason given by the Customs and Border Protection Bureau is that they have an undercover agent within the Kuliao Gang, and this information has been confirmed by the undercover agent."

If an undercover agent was used like this, they would have been killed long ago.

Luo An was somewhat speechless, "What's the real reason?"

"The real most probable reason is that the Kuliao Gang has always been in contact with the Customs and Border Protection Bureau."

Reesi did not answer, and Michelle, standing beside, raised her hand and explained calmly:

"I've seen this at the FBI's Monitoring Department. Because there are too many people smuggling into the federation every year, the Customs and Border Protection Bureau can't determine which people are ordinary civilians and which are terrorists.

For 'federal security,' some people within the Customs and Border Protection Bureau collaborate with certain gangs on the border:

The gang informs the identities of the individuals smuggling into the federation, and the Customs and Border Protection Bureau's agents capture these smugglers, sending them back or to prison while also reducing investigations and targeting of these gangs."

"...Then the Customs and Border Protection Bureau gets the credit, and if the smugglers still want to enter the federation, the gang makes some money again, right?"

Luo An was speechless, only able to say that this is typical of a capitalist country where everything revolves around money; such a double-benefit maneuver is indeed reasonable within federal territory.

Waving his hand, Luo An put the matter behind him:

"Let's talk about the clues you guys discovered."

"OK."

Mona continued, facing the computer:

"After Farhad and his group entered the federation, there had been no trace of them for a long time.

But it's impossible for so many people to leave zero tracks, so I looked closely at the entry point into the federation that the Customs and Border Protection Bureau mentioned where Farhad and his group entered.

In a small town ten miles from there, I found the driving records of two tourist company buses.

The records showed that one of the buses was carrying Farhad and his group, and within the tourist company, their identities were listed as company employees."

"Well done!"

Luo An clapped his hands, smiling, while Michelle continued:

"I checked this tourist company, and the FBI internal data shows that this tourist company is merely a small subsidiary under California's Mueller Group."

"This Mueller Group has been quite interesting lately."

Just as Michelle finished speaking, Reesi passed a piece of news to Luo An, smiling and saying:

"The founder of the Mueller Group, Old Mueller, died nine months ago. In his will, he left all his assets divided among his direct relatives, stipulating that only his direct relatives were eligible to inherit anything from him.

However, within these six months, both of Old Mueller's sons and their family members died one by one, currently, all direct relatives have left this world.

The only one remaining is not a direct relative of Old Mueller but his last wife before he died, Jesenia, who is 37 years old this year."

"Wow, she's quite ruthless."

Luo An repeatedly clicked his tongue looking at the woman in the news.

Although according to other FBI investigations, the deaths of Old Mueller's direct relatives are not directly linked to her, she is currently the biggest beneficiary, making it hard not to suspect her.

Carefully examining the content of the news, Luo An continued to inquire:

"What does this have to do with our current case?"

"There are two very significant connections."

As Mona typed rapidly on the keyboard, the computer screen quickly displayed a tree diagram. She pointed at the top of the tree diagram at Old Mueller, saying:

"Old Mueller had two sons in his lifetime. The eldest son had a son and a daughter, while the second son had only a wife, without children.

But in fact, when the second son was young, he enjoyed having fun and created many scandals, even impregnating many young girls.

Most of these girls, under surveillance by the Mueller Family, aborted the second son's child after receiving a large sum of money—except for a girl named Elda Brown, who disappeared."

Luo An narrowed his eyes:

"I remember that Beerva's full name is Beerva Brown."

"That's right, Beerva is the daughter of Elda Brown."

Mona placed the identification photos of the two women side by side and brought out the photo of Old Mueller's second son:

"So, Beerva was actually the illegitimate daughter of the second son.

Beerva has died, but her daughter Kara, who was born using her eggs and womb, is now Old Mueller's only remaining direct fourth-generation relative.

She is also the only one currently qualified to inherit everything from him, according to Old Mueller's will."

After listening to Mona's narrative, Luo An threw aside the newspaper in his hand and asked:

"Do Jesenia and Farhad have any connections?"

"Jesenia does not, but her blood uncle does."

Michelle handed a folder to Luo An, saying:

"Jesenia's uncle was previously part of a political family in Belize and had deep connections with Farhad's father."

"Jesenia and Farhad are less than 10 years apart in age, they certainly had the opportunity to know each other."

After Michelle finished speaking, Reesi poured two cups of coffee for Mona and Michelle, then looked at Luo An and concluded:

"Jesenia, through years of effort, managed to become Old Mueller's last wife... It is very possible that she had something to do with Old Mueller's death.

Wealthy men usually have prenuptial agreements—Jesenia wouldn't get much money from Old Mueller's death.

But if Old Mueller's direct relatives all disappear, then as his last wife, with so many years behind her,

the manipulation Jesenia could engage in is substantial.

Just as Farhad's father died, leaving only revenge in his mind, Jesenia could easily use this as leverage to have him commit murder.

Now it seems, as long as she gets rid of Old Mueller's fourth-generation direct relative, Kara, Jesenia's plan of usurping everything would be utterly successful."

This is also the reason why Farhad isn't panicked about going to jail, because as the actual perpetrator, Jesenia will surely send someone to rescue him, otherwise, if Farhad reveals this, Jesenia's plan will completely fall apart.

After listening to Reesi's summary combined with the evidence they had, Mona and Michelle nodded continuously, their expressions very grave.

Both being women, they admitted that Jesenia was much crueler than them and her methods too harsh.

Watching the materials arranged by Mona, Michelle, and Reesi in front of him, Luo An pondered for a long time, then slowly shook his head:

"There's also a chance that Jesenia won't kill Kara right now, but instead control Kara for a while."

Bringing Kara, a six-year-old child, to stabilize the internal situation of Mueller Group and inherit everything from Old Mueller, and then slowly siphon off the wealth from Kara later, would be more in line with Jesenia's interests than killing her outright.

Because with Old Mueller's direct relatives seemingly cursed to die in succession, the share prices and financial situation of Mueller Group had already begun to deteriorate, Jesenia aims to inherit a towering building, not ruins.

Reesi and Michelle pondered for a few seconds and nodded, Luo An's analysis made sense, but Mona spread her hands:

"So, what should we do next?"

With the financial power Jesenia now controls, she could completely claim that she "rescued" Kara from robbers with money.

"Quite simple."

Luo An pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled:

"Remember why our Special Investigation Team was established? It's time to cooperate with other federal law enforcement agencies."
