Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

Jackson said, "A member of the FBI is dead, Elon Musk is in trouble. Wanting to become the richest in the world isn't an easy thing."

The deputy snorted, "Why do I smell a whiff of conspiracy?"

Luke frowned and asked, "Has the name of this FBI agent been reported?"

Jenny said, "No, I guess either the journalists didn't get it, or they don't dare to report it."

"Come on, is there anything they don't dare to report?

I don't think so." The deputy chuckled, looking at the little black dog beside him,

"Marcus, what did you just say?"

"We just interrogated Sofia—no, we should call her Irene Reagan. She's confessed that the mastermind behind the kidnapping is Creasy Hoskin, the head of the FBI Information Resources Division."

Jackson remarked, "Wow, FBI again, it seems their luck hasn't been good lately..."

Luke returned to the office, pulled out his phone, and dialed Anthony's number, "Hey, it's Luke."

A deep voice from Anthony came through the phone, "Buddy, I was just about to contact you. How's the interrogation going?"

"The suspect pretending to be Sofia confessed, her name is Irene Reagan.

She confirmed that Creasy Hoskin was the FBI mole and the planner of the kidnapping case.

Their plan was to impersonate Sofia, to inherit the legacy left by Sofia's father.

Have you guys arrested Creasy Hoskin?"

"I was just about to tell you, that guy committed suicide?"

"How did he die?"

"Driving his beloved little electric car... crashed."

"The unlucky sod reported in the news about the accident on the overpass."

"That's right, it's him.

He was on vacation today, when we went to his place, we found no one at home, then received the news of his car crash. It was quite sudden to me too."

"Can you confirm it was suicide?"

"Yes, we found his suicide note at home. He knew his involvement in the kidnapping and the alteration of FBI database records were exposed.

The two major crimes were enough to keep him in prison for a lifetime.

He was more worried about his FBI identity being revealed, fearing a miserable end in prison.

He felt he had no way out, decided to take his life."

"Can you confirm the suicide note is real?"

"We can confirm it, we had experts verify the handwriting.

Plus, he already admitted to the kidnapping case, you guys can proceed with the conviction as usual."

So quickly got handwriting experts for verification? Luke doubted, "Have time? Let's meet and talk."

Anthony hesitated for a moment, "Not today, a lot of things are waiting for me to handle."

"Understood." Luke hung up the phone.

He sat in the office quietly for a long time...

Creasy Hoskin committed suicide?

Luke wasn't sure if it's true.

Even before meeting Anthony, he wasn't sure if Anthony was lying.

Of course, even if Anthony was lying, it might not be harmful to him.

It could be a kind-hearted lie; sometimes knowing too much isn't necessarily good.

Luke guessed, Creasy Hoskin's death should have two possibilities.

The first possibility, Anthony was telling the truth, Creasy Hoskin worried his FBI identity would face revenge in prison, chose suicide due to guilt.

The second possibility, Creasy Hoskin was murdered.

The FBI actively covered up the murder fact, suggesting they might have done it themselves.

As for the motive, it's not hard to guess, though Creasy Hoskin's position wasn't high, it was very sensitive.

As the group head of the FBI Information Resources Division, he knew too much.

The FBI couldn't let him take these secrets out of control.

No matter the reason, Luke felt there wasn't a need to delve deeper.
