NOVPUBReesi also learned Luo An's sarcasm in response to Spencer's request:
"Sorry, Mr. Spencer, it's not bedtime yet, so let's not talk in your sleep."
Spencer's expression changed upon hearing this. He was about to continue speaking when Luo An suddenly realized an issue and asked:
"Spencer, when and where did you meet Rekasha?"
"A year ago, at a bar in Los Angeles."
Spencer furrowed his brows, not understanding why Luo An was asking this, but still seriously answered his question:
"I went there for drinks, and Rekasha was having her wages unpaid by the bar owner, so I helped her out."
Luo An glanced at Reesi, it seemed that there was another reason for Rekasha O'Dell's disappearance.
Spencer didn't understand what Luo An and Reesi meant by their reaction, he continued somberly:
"Ladies and gentlemen agents, since meeting me, Rekasha has not killed anyone to date, I'm really not deceiving you on this point..."
"OK."
Luo An waved his hand to interrupt Spencer; with a father who was a wealthy tycoon, if Rekasha truly hadn't killed anyone, other accusations would hardly be a problem for her.
Spencer, unaware of Rekasha's father being a tycoon, took Luo An's affirmed reply and without beating around the bush, directly reported the assassin's situation.
"That female assassin is called 'Jane,' which is not her real name, and no one knows what her real name is."
Spencer seriously introduced:
"This woman is around 40 years old, acting alone, likely of military origin, her method of killing bears the mark of the military, preferring one-shot kills."
Reesi began to diligently make notes in her notebook, while Luo An asked:
"How do you know she's the one who did the killing?"
"Because on the day Sande Jisi died, Rekasha was doing reconnaissance, and she saw that woman."
Spencer explained that after he took the job to kill Sande Jisi, he had been using those days to train Rekasha's reconnaissance skills.
On that day, Spencer was observing Rekasha's reconnaissance from a distance, suddenly he heard gunshots and witnessed Sande Jisi's death.
In the chaos, Rekasha saw the killer's appearance and turned to tell Spencer, who immediately recognized who she was.
Luo An continued to ask:
"Do you know why 'Jane' killed Sande Jisi?"
"No."
Spencer shook his head, how could he possibly know why someone else killed:
"I feel like 'Jane' probably just took a job to kill Sande Jisi, money is all she sees in her eyes."
Luo An took a sip from his tea cup; it seemed this time they needed to catch the assassin first before investigating who commissioned the hit.
After finishing the note-taking, Reesi looked up and asked:
"Where does this 'Jane' live?"
"I don't know."
An assassin's place of residence is always a secret, only those who are extremely close would ever know.
Reesi's frown deepened upon hearing this:
"You don't know where she lives? How could you say you could help us find her?!"
Luo An remained unfazed by her side, as every assassin has their own methods.
As expected by Luo An, Spencer cracked a smile and explained:
"Indeed, I don't know where 'Jane' lives, but I know her preferred hangout.
When she's not on a mission, 'Jane' spends most of her time there having fun."
"Good."
Luo An set down his tea cup and nodded in satisfaction:
"Where is that place?"
"Kaka Bar on 19th Street in West Los Angeles."
"??!!"
Reesi's pupils contracted upon hearing the name of the bar. Luo An glanced at her changed expression and said nothing more, continuing to question Spencer.
Moments later, the interrogation ended, and the two emerged from the room. As the door closed behind them, Luo An directly asked:
"What was that just now?"
"That 'Kaka' bar, I know it!"
Reesi didn't hide anything, nor did she hesitate, and directly said:
"It's the most secretive and content-rich lesbian bar in West Los Angeles, and I used to frequent it for fun not too long ago."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Luo An twitched the corner of his mouth and patted Reesi's shoulder after a few seconds of silence:
"Excellent.
You'll lead the way for our operation to capture the Assassin 'Jian'."
Reesi nodded, thought for a moment, then asked:
"I made a few friends at that bar. Should we try to find 'Jian's' trail through them?"
Luo An asked in a deep voice:
"Can you vouch for those friends of yours?"
"Absolutely reliable."
Reesi showed a smile and wiggled her finger:
"You have to trust me."
Seeing this, Luo An helplessly covered his face:
"OK, give it a try."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Reesi walked away to make a phone call, while Luo An returned to the bureau area, handing over the portrait of 'Jian' drawn by the artist based on Spencer's description to Mona, asking her to try and find out 'Jian's' real name and other useful information.
Just then, Michelle approached, shaking the cell phone in her hand:
"The Special Victims Unit's psychologist is currently in contact with Rekasha O'Dell, and the atmosphere in the room is not bad.
In addition, Rekasha O'Dell's wealthy father has just taken a private jet from Las Vegas and should be arriving shortly."
Hearing the word private jet, Luo An's eyes lit up and he pulled Michelle aside to ask in a low voice:
"What about the 2 million US Dollar reward offered by the tycoon to find his daughter?"
Michelle blinked in surprise and then apologetically lowered her head:
"I'm sorry, I forgot to ask."
"..."
Looking at the apologetic yet clueless Michelle, Luo An let out an exasperated sigh.
He had only been with Luo An's team for such a short time and hadn't learned the essence of the Special Investigation Team's case procedures.
With a light cough, Luo An began instructing Michelle, who was very earnest and nodded continuously while learning.
"Good."
Luo An was very pleased with Michelle's attitude, and just then, Mona raised her hand:
"I've found the real identity of 'Jian'."
Luo An immediately went over to Mona, and on the computer was a photo of a young Caucasian woman with short hair.
"Jianaya Jones, former CIA operative, dismissed by the CIA due to a major mistake in an operation and later became a professional assassin.
She has a family history of mental health issues, not particularly stable, and has to take specific medication all year round."
After listening to Mona's introduction, Luo An looked at the "extremely accurate marksmanship" in her data, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
It seemed that the one who really killed Sande Jisi was her, but it was unknown who issued this task to her.
At this moment, Reesi came over, shaking her phone solemnly:
"My friend saw 'Jian' not long ago, she is now in a hotel not far from 'kaka' bar."
"Well done."
Luo An nodded with satisfaction and pondered for a moment:
"Michelle, Mona, you two stay and watch over the interrogation room at the Special Investigation Team.
Reesi, contact the SWAT team, we'll go check out the hotel together."
"Affirmative, Deputy Chief Luo An!"
"No problem!"
Thirty minutes later, two SWAT teams had blockaded the hotel's front and back entrances.
Luo An and Reesi, accompanied by a few other SWAT team members, went up the stairs to the floor where Jianaya was located, slowly moving towards Jianaya's room door. Reesi was about to use the card to open the door, when Luo An suddenly reached out to stop her.
Reesi looked puzzled and was about to look up when Luo An suddenly pushed her to the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The next second, several bullets fiercely shot out from the room!
