Legendary FBI Detective

Sunday, 5:30 p.m., special investigation team office.

"The Nuclear Bomb Club stole a nuclear bomb, this is really..."

In the office area, upon hearing Ophelia's words, Reesi frowned and sarcastically remarked:

"That's really staying true to their profession."

Beside her, Winslow looked puzzled:

"What does this 'Nuclear Bomb Club' do?"

As Mona quickly sifted through information, Ophelia explained without turning back:

"Just as the name suggests, they look for nuclear bombs."

In the eyes of ordinary people, nuclear bombs are absolutely terrifying things that one wants to stay far away from.

However, for the wealthy, nuclear bombs are considered the most valuable collectibles in the world.

After all, they are nuclear bombs that no amount of money can buy privately.

As previously mentioned, incidents of lost nuclear bombs and warheads have occurred many times within the federation.

These lost nukes naturally attracted a group of people wanting to find them, including teams of treasure hunters funded by the rich, as well as numerous solo adventurers.

These people formed a "Nuclear Bomb Club" to exchange useful information.

They even established a festival exclusive to these treasure hunters, known as "Nuclear Bomb Pursuit Day."

"..."

After listening to Ophelia's explanation, Winslow and Chenier, who were not very familiar with these matters, stared wide-eyed with utter astonishment.

Luo An helplessly rubbed his temples; he knew that the federation was vast with many talents, but he never imagined such outrageous diversity of characters.

"Everyone, there's information!"

At that moment, Mona suddenly stopped typing and announced loudly:

"The people in the Nuclear Bomb Club are now discussing the situation of that nuclear warhead!"

As a group that specifically chases after nuclear bombs, they received news of the hollow missile unearthed in New Mexico not long after it was dug up from the ground, and they swarmed toward it like mad.

Due to the distance, some quickly arrived at the area, while others were still on the way. When the nuclear warhead went missing, they were quick to discuss and suspect certain individuals after learning the relevant information.

"This group from the club is mainly suspecting three individuals."

Mona brought up the chat records and photos of the three people on the computer screen and explained:

"The first person is called Albuk, 56 years old this year. He started by buying and selling old warehouses and flipping the items inside, and later turned to treasure hunting, having been in the business for over thirty years.

The second guy is called Matteo, 31 years old, also a treasure hunter who's been in the business for five to six years and is a well-known rising star."

In the computer photos, the old Caucasian man on the left was dressed in rags, with outdated equipment, and even relied primarily on manual digging, extremely hardcore.

The younger Caucasian man in the middle wore a stylish trench coat and carried a lot of high-tech equipment, looking like a model, contrasting greatly in style from the first man.

Luo An glanced briefly at the two men before shifting his gaze, pointing to the photo of the third Caucasian man on the far right and asking:

"Who is this guy?"

Compared to the first two, the third Caucasian man's outfit was even more eye-catching.

He wore a military-standard helmet, infrared goggles, a camouflage uniform, a thick bulletproof vest over his chest, and carried a rifle, with a pistol, dagger, and grenade tucked at his waist.

With this outfit, most people would have no doubt in assuming he's a mercenary.

"Uh, this guy is named Wilfredo, 42 years old this year."

Looking at the photo of the third man, Mona's eyes flickered with a hint of disdain as she introduced:

"He is a mercenary who has been to Africa, America, the Middle East, and other places, working in the mercenary business for over a decade. Treasure hunting is just a side job for him.

To call it a side job is not quite accurate; this guy often loots cultural relics and sells them after killing people on the battlefield.

He sells to whoever offers the highest price, completely ignoring their historical value.

Precisely for this reason, the treasure hunting community has always seen Wilfredo as a scourge of the industry, because he is unreasonable and only respects firepower."

"Such talents."

Winslow's mouth spread into a grin, Reesi nodded in agreement, and Luo An, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, asked:

"Can you tell us the reasons why those three people are suspected?"

Mona nodded and explained:

"Because these three individuals are the closest to New Mexico.

56-year-old Albuk, his hometown is in Arizona, right next to New Mexico, not far from where the empty missile was discovered.

31-year-old Matteo, he was the first to get the information about that empty missile and also the first to head to New Mexico.

As for the mercenary Wilfredo, this guy was gambling in a casino in Colorado when he got the news about the empty missile, and immediately flew to New Mexico in a helicopter."

"Good."

Luo An nodded and followed with another question:

"Is it possible to track down these three individuals now?"

"Sorry, we can't."

Mona shook her head and spread her hands, saying:

"People in the treasure hunting industry are very cautious. To avoid being ripped off by others, Albuk and Matteo seldom reveal their whereabouts, and it's difficult to locate them by phone.

As for Wilfredo, he's not afraid of being double-crossed as most of the time, he's the one doing the heavy hitting.

But because of this, he has many enemies, and as a mercenary, he has strong anti-surveillance capabilities. It's going to be quite a challenge to find him unless he wants to be found."

"Find a way to locate them."

Luo An said sternly:

"If this nuclear warhead goes off, the impact of the event would definitely overshadow Madoff's Ponzi scheme."

The whole world would turn its attention to the federation: As the world's beacon, playing with their own mushroom gardening, no wonder it shines so brightly.

Mona took a deep breath and nodded firmly:

"I'll do my best."

"Thank you for your effort."

Luo An gently patted Mona's shoulder, then turned to the others and ordered:

"Everyone, our top priority is to find these three individuals!

Mona will stay at headquarters, coordinating information and providing us with leads.

Winslow, Michelle, you two will pair up to look for the 56-year-old Albuk.

Chenier, Reesi, the two of you will be responsible for finding Matteo.

I will work with Ophelia to find the mercenary Wilfredo.

During the operation, be extremely cautious. After all, we're dealing with a nuclear warhead. If anything seems off or if you encounter special circumstances, prioritize preserving yourselves and your teammates. Understood?"

"Understood!"

"No problem!"

After a brief arrangement, everyone began to gather their gear, preparing to set off through the night. Each person was equipped with two Geiger counters, one for use and one as a spare.

The nuclear warhead isn't an exaggeration to be considered the most terrifying thing in the world. Additionally, contact with nuclear radiation entails unimaginable consequences, so no amount of caution is excessive.

Once the preparation was complete, the specialized investigative team's agents split into three groups, taking a special flight out into the night towards their respective targets.

In the night sky, a small plane flew in a straight line. Looking at the cities sparkling with colored lights beneath, Luo An pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to Ophelia and asked:

"Lady Modlin, I have a question."

"Just call me Ophelia."

Ophelia put down the document she was holding, looked up at Luo An with a smile, and said:

"What question?"

Luo An's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked:

"Just how many nuclear bombs or warheads has the military lost?"

"..."
