Legendary FBI Detective

Las Vegas, on the couch in the living room of a hotel room, Winslow, Chenier, Luo An, Michelle, and Reesi sat in a circle.

"A 19-year-old and a 33-year-old, is this human nature twisted, or the morals..."

"Stop!"

Luo An waved his hand to interrupt Reesi, who was mumbling next to him, and said speechlessly:

"Where did you hear these words?"

"Online."

Reesi grinned and replied:

"I recently met some people from Eastern countries online, they have a TV program that starts with this sentence every time, I think this sentence is very fitting now."

...

Luo An rubbed his temples speechlessly. That program from the East started around 2003, and now it's 2006, this joke isn't considered outdated yet.

"Let's not talk about this useless stuff, let's focus on this case."

Luo An casually picked up an apple from the table and stuffed it into Reesi's arms to keep her quiet, then looked at Michelle and said:

"Tell us about what you've found."

"OK."

Michelle typed a few times on the keyboard, displaying the information to everyone and said:

"The Krista family, with three legitimate heirs.

The eldest son, Shemor Krista, did not take over the family business but chose to enter politics, last seen as a State Legislator before disappearing.

The second daughter, Lucille Krista, took over the entire family business after her mother's death, last seen as the president of the group.

The third son, Rister Krista, has always loved entertainment, traveling and adventuring all over the world.

Five days ago, both the elder son, the legislator, and the second daughter, the president disappeared, and the third son was immediately called back to handle the family business."

Winslow nodded, puzzled, and asked:

"What about the engagement you mentioned?"

Michelle's expression turned strange and said:

"The third day after the disappearance of the eldest son and the second daughter, which is two days ago, Rekasha O'Dell, along with Rister Krista, suddenly announced their engagement publicly, shocking everyone."

Rekasha O'Dell, the sole survivor of that [Villa Case] (Chapter 441), 19 years old, now the sole person in power of the Audel family.

"From any angle, there's a big problem here."

Reesi grabbed the computer, scrolled to the top of the page, and pointed to the information, saying:

"Look, after the Krista family's second daughter took over the business, she had conflicts with Rekasha O'Dell over business issues, and the two fought fiercely.

So, is there a possibility that Rekasha O'Dell decided to 'capture the king first by capturing the thief,' directly sending someone to physically eliminate the Krista family's eldest son and second daughter.

Then she herself marries the business-illiterate third son and slowly absorbs their family's business."

"Isn't that a bit too much of a sacrifice?"

Winslow, propping his chin, said blankly:

"Don't forget, Rekasha O'Dell is only 19 years old this year, marrying a 33-year-old man, that's a bit too..."

"You don't understand a woman's world."

Reesi shook her head and patted Winslow on the shoulder, saying:

"Also, don't forget two things:

First, Rekasha O'Dell was initially alone, facing a lot of pressure and enemies, she harshly led the Audel family business out of trouble.

Second, before returning to the Audel family, Rekasha O'Dell had lived with an assassin for a long time (Chapter 333), she has seen blood, just never moved her hand.

At the same time, her life experience with that assassin also caused problems with her emotional orientation.

She likes mature men older than her and even once scorned the younger Luo An (Chapter 459)"

...

Luo An glared at Reesi, who giggled, while Chenier pondered for a few seconds, then said:

"Is there another possibility, that actually, the third son, in order to seize the inheritance, arranged the elimination of his own elder brother and sister?"

"It's possible, but not very likely."

Michelle took back the computer, typed a few times, and displayed a stock curve graph to everyone, saying:

"After the eldest son and the second daughter disappeared, even after the third son came back to manage the family business, the group's stocks continued to fall.

It wasn't until Rekasha O'Dell and the third son announced their engagement and Rekasha O'Dell forcefully intervened in Krista family business, that the group's stock started to recover somewhat.

Moreover, the third son has been traveling all over the world for years, basically not learning anything about business."

Chenier shook her head:

"Act the fool while harboring a plotting mind, perhaps even biding time in the shadows."

After a brief discussion, everyone's gaze turned unanimously towards Luo An:

"Group leader, what should we do next?"

"You have all been focusing on the business and family aspects, do not overlook the political world in Nevada."

Luo An massaged his temples and casually replied a few sentences, pondered for a few seconds, and said:

"Moreover, we cannot solve the case merely through guessing. We still need to start from the crime scene and the experiences during the crime.

The eldest son, the second daughter, and their personal male and female bodyguards, a total of four people, disappeared simultaneously; it's impossible they left no clues behind.

Winslow, Michelle, Reesi, you three will be responsible for investigating the situation at the dinner party the night the crime occurred.

Such as the identities of the guests, any absences, who left the seat, and the routes the eldest son and second daughter took after leaving the party, etc.

Chenier, you and I will go see Rekasha O'Dell, and talk with that Rister Krista.

As siblings to the two disappeared individuals, and potentially future siblings-in-law, they definitely know something."

"Understood!"

"No problem!"

————

The next day, at a temporarily borrowed office in the Las Vegas Branch of the FBI.

Sitting at either side of the long table in the meeting room, Luo An and Chenier sat together, facing Rekasha O'Dell.

Today, Rekasha O'Dell was yet again dressed in a red woman's suit, her makeup heavy, her red lips like blood.

Although only 19 years old, the temperament she cultivated from long-term high-status living made her quite forceful and oppressive when serious.

"It's quick to meet again, Group Leader Luo An."

Rekasha O'Dell picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, chuckling lightly:

"I just didn't expect that you would consider me a suspect."

"Life is always full of surprises and excitement."

Luo An wasn't affected by her demeanor or attitude, smiled back, turned his head to give Chenier a look, signaling her to start taking notes, then opened the file, and said:

"And indeed, being a suspect isn't new for you, is it?"

"Indeed."

Rekasha O'Dell nodded:

"That previous Villa Case had people suspecting it was my doing.

How funny that it hasn't been long and now people from the Krista family disappear, and again people suspect it was my doing."

Luo An cut to the chase, asking directly:

"What's this about your engagement with Rister Krista?"

Rekasha O'Dell leaned back, crossed her legs, wrapped her arms around her chest, and said faintly:

"It's simple, a trade."

"What kind of trade?"

"Using my body in exchange for the Krista family's business."

Luo An furrowed his brows, Chenier's writing paused, and Rekasha O'Dell smirked:

"Hard to understand?"

Luo An shook his head, his "emotional perception" still active, assured her words were true, and smiled:

"Not hard to understand, I just didn't expect Miss Rekasha to be so direct."

Rekasha O'Dell's words clearly told Luo An and Chenier that her marriage to Rister was aimed at the business of the Krista family.

"I'm always very honest."

Rekasha O'Dell smiled:

"It's just that many people don't believe what I say."

"So, the disappearance of the two Krisas and their bodyguards also has nothing to do with you?"

"Of course!"

"Do you know anything about the disappearance of Shemor and Lucille Krista?"

"..."

Hearing this question, Rekasha O'Dell suddenly fell silent.

Noticing this, Chenier slowly lifted her head to look at the woman across the conference table, Luo An narrowed his eyes, just about to speak, when suddenly his phone rang.

Pressing the answer button, Reesi's voice came through a bit urgently:

"Luo An, we've found the four missing people!"
