Chapter Forty-Six: Courage and Miracles
"One group, please reply, one group please reply, what's wrong?"
On the intercom, the police team on duty downstairs is asking about the situation.
Chen Jiaju watched the sniper on the opposite side disappear on the roof of the building, grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "This is a group of Chen Jiaju! Jewelry stolen! Jewelry theft! The second group immediately went to the Regal Hotel opposite and blocked all entrances and exits! Don't let anyone leave!"
In the lobby on the first floor, two groups of policemen on duty rushed out of the Cointreau Hotel and ran towards the Regal Hotel opposite.
"Curry, you and Pepper guard the back door, and the others block the main entrance, don't let anyone out!"
"Call HQ! Call HQ! Royal Jewels Stolen! Send Someone to Help!"
The team leader shouted as he ran and assigned tasks and called for support.
Chen Jiaju suddenly thought of something, turned his head and looked around, and his gaze suddenly stayed at the position of the ventilation duct grille.
Rushing over quickly, he pushed down the grille, and sure enough, he found something loose.
With a hard pull, the grille was torn off by him, and when he looked over, he saw fresh traces of activity in the ventilation duct, and the ash inside was dragged out of a trajectory leading inside.
He turned around and shouted at his colleagues: "The jewels are still in the building! You take people down immediately, block all entrances, pay attention to the ventilation ducts, and don't let anyone leave the hotel!"
"Roger!"
The colleague answered and immediately led someone to the elevator.
Chen Jiaju jumped into the ventilation pipe and climbed inside.
On the other side, on the roof of the Regal Hotel, Fernan had already taken off his camouflage uniform and dropped it from the other side of the roof.
He deliberately let the police on the opposite side discover him, in order to help Li Jie buy time to escape.
More than half of the police force on the opposite side were attracted to the rich side, which also greatly reduced the pressure on Li Jie.
The sniper rifle that cost him $100,000 was casually dropped by Fernan on the edge of the roof, and he walked to the staircase with only the radio.
100,000 US dollars, only one shot was fired, and before it was stained with blood, it was discarded, although Feinan was distressed, but he was extremely decisive.
There wasn't enough time for him to disassemble the gun and put it in a box to take it away.
And he also needs this gun to cover him and confuse the police.
"Go down to the 54th floor, exit the fire escape, take the elevator down to the 52nd floor, and then enter the fire escape......"
Fei Nan carried the radio station and whispered directions for Li Jie as he walked downstairs.
All his attention was focused on the map, this was the first time he was dedicated to two things, and at the same time he helped himself and Li Jie avoid the crowd, and he didn't dare to be careless.
Opposite the Cointreau Hotel, security personnel quickly searched the building like a disturbed worker bee in a hive.
Li Jie, who was wearing a staff uniform, was carrying a black plastic garbage bag, and under the command of Feinan, he stopped or moved, his ears were noisy, but there was no one in front of him.
He walked under everyone's noses, but no one saw him.
Quickly descending to the 54th floor, without the slightest hesitation, Li Jie pushed open the passage door and walked out.
There was no one outside the passageway, and the sound of footsteps around the corner of the hallway was quickly moving away, mixed with the sound of walkie-talkies, and it was security personnel checking the floor.
The elevator door on the other side of the passage opened widely, and it was thought that the security personnel just now had taken it, but it didn't have time to close.
Dodge into the elevator, and the elevator door closes slowly and appropriately.
At the other end of the hallway, a round-around security guard ran out, and one of them pushed open the fire escape and went in to look up and down.
At the entrance of the passage on the 57th floor, there were also security personnel who poked their heads out and asked, "How are you over there?"
"No one. ”
"Everything works fine. ”
Exiting through the passageway, the security team leader of this group looked at the elevator going down and asked, "Has anyone entered the elevator?"
"I don't know. ”
The team leader picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "Call the seven groups, call the seven groups, check the elevator!"
"Roger. ”
The team leader looked at the elevator floor lights stopped on the 50th floor, and the voices of the seven group leaders came from the intercom.
"There was no one in the elevator. ”
"Roger. The team leader released the call button and instructed, "Continue to search, open and search every room." ”
"Yes. ”
The security guards dispersed, and on the 52nd floor under their feet, Li Jie entered the fire escape again and walked briskly down.
Fei Nan returned to the floor where he was again, the police had not come up yet, there was not much pressure on his own side, and the main energy was on Li Jie's side.
Under his command, Li Jie went down to the first floor, which was the last line of defense and the most difficult level.
"Wait thirteen seconds, open the door, wait a minute! Someone is coming! Whew! Wait a little longer......"
Beads of sweat slid down Feinan's forehead, and at this moment, there were dozens of people in the lobby on the first floor of the Cointreau Hotel opposite, so many pairs of eyes staring, even if he had a map to guide him, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Suddenly, Li Jie moved, without instructions.
Finan was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"
However, Li Jie did not respond and dodged out of the fire escape.
Feinan's heart suddenly rose to his throat, but the cursor in the hall did not move abnormally.
Li Jie wore a work uniform, carried a black plastic bag, and walked out of the passage with a calm face.
Two policemen looked in his direction, but he just walked straight in the direction of the men's toilet, and the black plastic bag in his hand was casually carried in his hand, like a bag of garbage.
Throwing the garbage bag into the trash can under the sink, Li Jie pulled out the black garbage bag covered by the trash can, and walked to the back in full view of everyone.
"Hey, who's that?"
A policeman asked.
Li Jie quietly raised the garbage bag in his hand and said, "Come and collect the garbage?"
"I'll take it later, don't walk around yet!"
"Oh, got it. ”
Li Jie nodded, turned and walked away.
The police didn't suspect too much, his expression and posture were too calm, and no one would have thought that the person who stole the diamond would dare to appear in front of the police so openly.
Although Fei Nan could only see the cursor, he was also shocked, and it was not until Li Jie approached the back door that he breathed a sigh of relief.
What a miracle of audacity!
He whispered: "There is no one near the back door for the time being, you leave as soon as possible, and then go to contact the lawyer, everything is careful." ”
Dada!
After hearing Li Jie's tapping, Fei Nan nodded and stopped.
Next to him was the utility room, and with his hand turning the handle, the door opened.
Fernan dodged in and gave a quick glance.
The utility room is the place where the hotel cleaning staff places their belongings, and the cleaned sheets, quilt covers, and towels are placed in it, a carton full of disposable slippers is placed at the feet, and paper cups, toothbrushes and other things are also stacked in pieces.
Coming to the table where the bath towels were placed, hiding the radio behind the stack of bath towels and blocking it with bath towels and towels, Fei Nan turned around and walked out of the utility room, went downstairs from the fire escape to the floor where he lived, avoided the guests, and entered the room.
With a sigh of relief, the plan was finally half completed, but it was not completely over, and he still needed to get out of it smoothly.
He took out the box of cigars he had brought, pulled out one, put it under his nose and sniffed it.
Good stuff.
Fernan trimmed the cigar with a cigar cutter, lit it with a match, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke before turning around and going out again.
This time, instead of avoiding the crowds, he deliberately passed several guests and took the elevator back to the restaurant.
Smiling and nodding to the front desk lady, and taking a puff on his cigar, Fernan exchanged a tacit look with the bartender at the bar and sat back in the place where he had ordered.
When the waiter saw him return, he stepped forward to ask.
"Hello, can I serve you food?"
"Yes, another glass of sparkling wine, thank you. ”
"Okay, please wait. ”
The dish was ready, and it was quickly served, and Fernan put the cigar on the ashtray and took a sip of sparkling wine to moisten his mouth, before slowly eating the food in front of him.
It didn't take long for several policemen with police ID cards on their chests to walk in at the door of the restaurant, looking inside the restaurant and looking around.
There were many customers eating in the restaurant, and the police just swept over Feinan and did not pay special attention to him.
The front desk lady of the restaurant greeted her and talked to the policemen.
The policeman said something, as if he had made a request, and the front desk lady showed a look of embarrassment.
After making a phone call, the front desk lady nodded to the police.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to disturb your meal. ”
The leader of the second police team came to the center of the restaurant and said loudly: "We are police, there is a case that needs everyone's cooperation in the investigation, please cooperate." ”
There was a lot of noise, mixed with complaints, and the second group leader looked unchanged, turned around and said, "You make a registration for all the guests, and then do a record investigation in turn." ”
"Roger. ”
Feinan sat in his seat, eating his food, while watching several policemen patiently register the restaurant customers, and the restaurant staff followed them, constantly apologizing to the guests.
Looking at the map, the Dorsett Hotel has been cordoned off by the police.
It was impossible to check out and leave, and Fernan had to be investigated by the police.
However, he was ready and did not leave any evidence, and the police could not find him.
Soon, the police registered him.
"Sir, please show your ID. ”
Fei Nan deliberately looked puzzled, and the front desk lady hurriedly stepped forward and said to him in English: "Sir George, this is a police officer from our Xianggang police, because of an emergency case, they need your cooperation in the investigation. ”
Fei Nan suddenly realized, readily agreed, took out his passport, and handed it to the police officer in front of him.
After carefully checking his passport and comparing it with the photo below, the police found nothing wrong, registered it, and returned the passport to him.
"Sir George, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to you. ”
"It's okay, as long as it's not too late. ”
Fernan took a puff on his cigar and looked out the window, but his attention was on the map.
More than a dozen police cars approached on both sides of the street outside the hotel, and the traffic department also arrived here and blocked the intersection.
Squinting his eyes, Fei Nan said secretly in his heart.
Here it comes!
