New Job: The Undercover Agent

Difficulty: ☆☆☆

[Main objective: To dismantle Frank Castro's criminal network]

[Additional condition 1: Find the LAPD's mole planted next to Frank Castro]

[Additional condition 2: Locate all the undercover agents Frank Castro planted within the LAPD]

[Additional condition 3: Find the person within the FBI who provided information to Frank Castro]

Current status: Preparation phase

[Purchasable Information: 3 items]

As Rosen left the FBI building, he noticed a new message on the Harvest Day app, which turned out to be a new job.

The content of this job...

Good heavens, this is such a mess!

A three-way werewolf game, probably only the brewery could be more chaotic than this.

Especially with additional condition 2, Frank Castro actually had more than one undercover agent in the LAPD. What exactly is this guy trying to do?

Speechless, Rosen thought he should first check what the intelligence was all about.

-30000

[Intelligence 1: LAPD undercover agents attend a psychological therapy session once a week.]

[Intelligence 2: Frank Castro sent five people to the police academy ten years ago.]

[Intelligence 3: Frank Castro was an FBI informant 30 years ago.]

Three bad news reports, each corresponding to an additional condition, which is quite good.

Intelligence 1 was essentially wasted, because Rosen had already confirmed the LAPD's undercover identity.

Intelligence 2 is quite interesting. Those who entered the police academy ten years ago should all be police officers from the same batch of graduates. Perhaps Brian could help us check the police academy graduates from 1990.

As for intelligence 3 —

Rosen never expected that Frank was in the same profession as him, only that the two had taken different paths.

Frank chose to leverage his connections with the FBI to expand his power and achieve even greater success, establishing the Castro Gang and becoming a major figure in the Los Angeles underworld.

Rosen, on the other hand, chose to leave the military and become an FBI agent due to unforeseen circumstances.

If Rosen had traveled back 30 years earlier and faced off against Frank now, there would have been a special sense of destiny.

However, if Frank was an informant 30 years ago, then his superior must be a high-ranking official in the FBI now.

Although the scope of the investigation was narrowed, the difficulty of the investigation increased.

After thinking for a moment, Rosen took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, this is Jane."

Jane's voice was somewhat muffled, clearly indicating that she had been woken up while sleeping.

"Jane, I haven't even started the code yet!"

Jane was startled, and then realized her mistake.

"Sorry, Rosen, I was just sleeping."

"It's okay. I usually call you when it's safe."

"We still need to use the code, not only for my safety, but also for yours."

Jane is a very proper woman, a little old-fashioned.

Unlike Sean, who has a flexible bottom line, or Neil, who adheres strictly to his bottom line, his bottom line is extremely low.

After being startled by Rosen, Jane's mind was now completely clear.

After stretching and making some strange noises, Jane asked Rosen a question.

"Rosen, is there something you need from me?"

"Jane, I want you to help me investigate something."

"Speak."

"I just received some intelligence that I need to confirm. It says that Frank Castro has been an FBI informant."

"What? This is impossible! Rosen, where did you get this information?"

Jane's first reaction was disbelief. Frank Castro was a ruthless mob boss who committed murder, arms smuggling, and drug trafficking—he was capable of anything.

Even if informants have certain legal immunity, it is impossible to offset so many crimes.

Moreover, Frank was always committing crimes proactively, not passively.

"Jane, the reason I'm telling you this is because this information has some credibility! I've seen Frank Castro's file. This guy suddenly rose to prominence about 30 years ago. During his rise, his rivals either died unexpectedly or were arrested by the FBI. Once could be a coincidence, but it's very unusual for it to happen every time!"

Jane recalled the files on Frank Castro that she had read, and she knew that she didn't have much natural talent, so she worked very hard.

I've read Frank Castro's Book of the Books several times, and I can already recite a lot of it.

After carefully recalling the events, Jane realized that Rosen was right.

"Oh my god! I didn't even notice!"

"That's normal; most people in the FBI didn't notice this. If I hadn't received intelligence, I wouldn't have discovered it either."

"So, Frank was an FBI informant 30 years ago, and through his connections within the FBI, he became a big shot in the Los Angeles underworld?"

"Jane, you'll need to confirm this."

"I'll go look up the information right now!"

I could hear the rustling sound of someone getting dressed on the other end of the phone.

"Jane, you must be careful! I think Frank Castro's supplier must have become a high-ranking FBI official by now. Don't attract his attention!"

"I will, Rosen! I'll hang up now!"

(Jane Banner)

After hanging up the phone, Rosen glanced at the time.

It's already past 10 o'clock, and Lawson has been working for more than 24 hours without rest, so he's a bit tired.

So he drove his Dodge Viper back to his apartment to rest.

Meanwhile, after receiving the call, Billy quickly arrived near an artificial waterway.

This artificial waterway was Rosen's evacuation point when he was working at the St. Martin's Bank.

Three months later, like most unsolved cases, this job was shelved by the LAPD.

This job didn't cause too much of a stir, because the main loss was the money that Francis Ritchie transferred.

Since Francis Richie was already dead, naturally no one would come looking for money from the St. Martin's Bank.

Moreover, it was a stormy day, so the Los Angeles reporters were unable to get any firsthand information.

Only Megan Kelly had inside information, which is why she reported some of the content in a veiled manner.

Billy, hands in his pockets, strode over to the riverbank with an air of nonchalance and quickly spotted the person who had called him over.

"Kunnan, why did you suddenly call me and want to meet me?"

The person Yobil met was his boss, Quinn, accompanied by Quinn's assistant, Dick.

"Billy, I just received some very important information, so I wanted to confirm it with you."

Billy was clearly distracted; he was probably still thinking about Eva.

"What intelligence is so important?"

Kunnan, unaware of Billy's situation, directly revealed the information.

"Last night, there was an operation targeting Adams Byrne. Frank Castro showed up during the operation, but was then released by our own people!"

"What did you say?!"

Billy suddenly looked up and stared at Quinn in disbelief.

Billy was surprised that Quinn's description contradicted what Eva had just said, while Quinn thought Billy was surprised that someone from the LAPD had secretly released Frank.

"It's true. The intelligence came from another undercover agent, but he didn't see who the person who let Frank Castro go was."

"Kunnan, when did this happen?"

Quinn looked at Billy strangely.

Why are you asking this?

"Tell me! This is important!"

Billy gritted his teeth, his expression extremely ferocious!

"It probably happened between 1 and 2 a.m.?"

These words instantly turned Billy's face deathly pale; he realized that he had most likely been deceived by Eva.

Frank left the corrupt police around 1 or 2 a.m. and it would be at least 3 p.m. by the time he returned to his Long Beach villa. At that point, it would be impossible for him to be drinking and beating his wife again.

This caused Billy great distress, as he realized that Eva was exploiting his sympathy and controlling him through deception and performance.

At this point, Billy's strange behavior finally caught Quinn's attention.

"Billy, what's wrong with you? Is something wrong with you again?"

Billy was very unhappy when the topic of mental health issues came up. He didn't think he had any mental problems, but his boss forced him to undergo psychological treatment.

It was precisely because of this psychological treatment that Billy's identity was discovered by Eva, and he was then subjected to constant psychological manipulation (PUA).

"Fuck! It's all because of this damn psychotherapy you arranged, otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation—"

Billy couldn't continue speaking halfway through his sentence; his face turned bright red, and his eyebrows almost stood on end.

"It's not that serious?"

Kunan realized that something very serious had happened to Billy and immediately wanted to ask him more questions.

But Billy clearly didn't want to talk about it; he opened his mouth but couldn't bring himself to say it.

Dick, who was standing nearby, spoke up.

"Billy, Commander Quinn is doing this for your own good. If something happens because of the therapy, there's nothing we can do. Besides, your current mental state is definitely not right."

Quinn patted Billy on the shoulder.

"Billy, Dick and I are the only two people who know you're an undercover cop. Don't you trust us?"

Finally, after being persuaded by Quinn and Dick, Billy finally told them what had happened.

"Two weeks ago, after a therapy session, I was seen by Eva Castro who happened to be passing by."

"Eva Castro? Is she Frank Castro's young and beautiful wife?"

Kunnan and Dick exchanged a glance, both looking very puzzled.

"and then?"

Billy covered his face, not wanting his boss and colleagues to see his broken expression.

"Then the woman told me that she had been suffering from abuse by her husband and hoped to cooperate with me to deal with Frank Castro—now that I think about it, she was just trying to get information out of me without revealing much!"

These words made Kunnan very angry.

"You've revealed your identity?"

"Yes."

"Fuck! Have you forgotten the undercover rules? This could not only get you killed, but it could also get me and Dick killed! What are you thinking?"

Dick quickly tried to calm the angry Quinn down.

"Sir, please don't do this! I don't think Billy did it on purpose! Billy, I think you're still too repressed. Maybe you should find a girlfriend so you won't be easily tempted by women."

"Dick, how can you look at me like that! I didn't touch Eva at all; I only helped her out of pity!"

Quinn and Dick clearly didn't believe him, especially Quinn, whose anger flared up again at Billy's words.

"Still lying! If that woman hadn't seduced you, how would you have exposed your identity?"

"Fuck! I swear to my dead mother, I never touched Eva Castro!"

Quinn and Dick were stunned to see Billy's face flushed red and his teeth clenched.

Both of them knew about Billy's family situation.

Billy's father was once a leader of an Irish gang, but died young due to gang warfare.

Billy was then raised by his mother, and his life was very difficult.

When Billy was a teenager, his mother also passed away from illness. Her dying wish was for Billy to become a good man.

This is why Billy applied to police academy after he became an adult.

However, because of Billy's background, this boy who longed to become a policeman and uphold justice was chosen by Quinn to become an undercover agent and a member of the gang he hated most in his childhood.

Therefore, it is much more credible than swearing an oath by one's own mother.

When Frank took Billy under his wing, he made him swear on his mother's gravestone that he wasn't a cop.

"If that's the case, this woman is a bit scary. She didn't tell Frank Castro who you are, did she?"

Quinn initially thought that Frank was trying to sow discord by using his wife to turn Billy against him.

Billy shook his head.

"That shouldn't be the case. Given Frank's personality, if he discovered an undercover agent, he would simply execute him in front of his own men, rather than going to great lengths to turn him against his own people. Eva Castro might genuinely want to get rid of her husband, so she lied a bit."

Quinn and Dick exchanged a glance, sensing that Billy had been subjected to rather severe psychological manipulation.

"Billy, make sure to let us know next time Eva Castro asks you to meet!"

Billy gritted his teeth and nodded.

"I will."

Quinn patted Billy on the shoulder.

"Billy, go back and get some rest. Don't expose yourself in front of Eva Castro!"

Dick patted Billy on the shoulder.

"Find a long-term girlfriend as soon as possible, even if it's just a sexual partner, don't suppress yourself too much!"

The departures of Quinn and Dick plunged Billy into self-doubt.

Am I really suppressing myself too much?

Billy stood there examining his problems until his phone rang.

"Billy, where are you?"

"Mike, what happened?"

"Mr. Castro is calling a meeting. Come quickly, don't upset him!"

"I'll be there right away!"

Billy quickly took a taxi back to the bar in Long Beach where the Castro gang often gathered.

Before entering, Billy remembered what had happened at the last rally, gritted his teeth, and turned off his phone before stepping into the bar.

"Billy, over here!"

"Mike, what happened now?"

"I don't know! But I heard Mr. Castro is in a good mood!"

If I'm in a good mood, I'm not catching undercover agents.

Billy breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then he remembered that he had just met Eva that morning, and she had even tried to undress in front of him—

This made Billy's expression instantly turn strange.

Just then, Frank walked in with a big smile on his face.

"Gentlemen, what a lovely day!"
