"It's just a joke!" Alan Hal smiled and patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder.

"Prepare to close the team!" Alan Hal turned to the others and commanded, "Leave a team to protect the scene, wait for the colleagues of the Forensic Section to collect evidence, and we will bring back the hostages, suspects, and ransom first!"

"Boss, the suspect's car can't be driven, is the ransom money moved to your command car?" a commando ran to ask Alan Hallau.

"Yes. Let the hostages and ransom go with my car. Alan Hal nodded.

"Yes!" the commando agreed, turning to carry it out.

Alan Hal said to himself with some rejoicing, "No wonder the suspect returned to the warehouse from the car, it turned out that the car broke down." If they drive away, we'll probably have a bit of a hard time. The car broke down at this critical time, and we were really lucky. Thank God!"

"Boss, the suspect's car is not out of order, but vandalized. The commando, who turned to carry the ransom, turned around and said, "The two tires in the front of the car are completely flat. We checked and found that the tire had a large notch, which could not have been caused by something on the road, like a knife stab. ”

"Vandalism?" Alan Hal was surprised, "it should have been only a few minutes since they came out of town, who was going to wreck their car?"

"Pierced by a knife?" Alan Hal thought of a possibility, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yao and asked, "What did you do?"

The robbers who were taken out of the warehouse for temporary custody were not far from Alan Hal and Xiao Yao's location at this time, and after hearing the conversation between Alan Hal and the commandos, Mary and the others immediately looked at Xiao Yao.

"It's me!" Xiao Yao nodded, took out the dagger he got from Jose from his body, showed it to Alan Hall, and said with a smile, "At that time, you hadn't arrived yet, I was afraid that they would run away with the money, and it would be more troublesome for you to chase them, so I sneaked down from the roof and punctured the tires of their cars, saving you a little trouble." ”

Xiao Yao gave Alan Hal face, and did not directly say that he was afraid that the robbers would run away from the police, but only said that he would save them trouble.

"It's you again!" Mary said through gritted teeth as she looked at Xiao Yao.

In addition to the organization and planning, one of Mary's strengths is that she has very good driving skills. She used to be involved in illegal underground racing, which is why Mary, the only woman, drove the majority of such a team. In last year's plane robbery, Mary saw that the situation was wrong and immediately drove away, and it was not just luck that she was able to escape from so many police vehicles. With Mary's driving skills, if they could really drive away, it was really impossible to run out of the police surrounding.

"Don't look at me like that!" Xiao Yao shrugged at Mary, "I think the story between us is over." ”

"You don't have a chance to get revenge on Jan anymore!" Alan Hal said to Mary, and then said to the commandos beside him, "Take them in the car and escort them back!"

"By the way, this knife was obtained from the Mexican suspect named José at the press conference and secretly hid on his body, which should be one of the exhibits in this case. Xiao Yao turned to Alan Hal and handed over the dagger in his hand and said, "But this dagger saved my life and helped our family save 10 million ransom, so after this case is over, can you give me this dagger?" I want to keep it for collection." ”

"Do you want to collect all the robbers' things?" Alan Hal shook his head with a smile, and then agreed, "No problem! This dagger is not a key evidence, and I will find a way to give this dagger to you after all the legal procedures in this case are completed!" With that, Alan Hal took the dagger handed by Xiao Yao, took out a evidence bag, put it in, and handed it to the commandos beside him.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile.

"No, it should be us who want to thank you. "There are so many places where the kidnapped hostages were able to get out of the kidnappers' hands on their own, call us to inform us of their location, and risk destroying the kidnappers' vehicles." If every kidnapped hostage can have your ability, then there may be no kidnapping cases in this world, and the police hostage rescue team can be disbanded. ”

"When we go back, there should be a lot of media reporters waiting at the door of your FBI, right?" Xiao Yao asked Alan Hardao, "Can you do me a favor?" When you are interviewed by reporters, don't say that I escaped by myself, just say that I was rescued by you. ”

"You're trying to give us the police?" Alan Hare said overjoyed, "it's not us helping you, it's you're helping us." For the American police, who are now caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, Xiao Yao's behavior is undoubtedly a relief in disguise.

"Yes. Xiao Yao nodded affirmatively.

"But it's a bit difficult," Alan Hare frowned slightly, "In this kind of case, there will definitely be media reporters to interview those suspects, and those suspects will definitely not cooperate with us." Moreover, we police are now facing a lot of pressure from public opinion, and if a reporter finds out that we are lying, it will be a disaster for the public image of our police. ”

"Well, those suspects know that I was released from their custody on their own, but they probably don't know that I called you to inform you of the location. You are vague about this to the reporters, don't go into too much detail, just say that you followed the ransom suspect all the way to find here. If the reporter finds out, just say that I asked you police to hide this!"

"That's fine. Alan Hal nodded, "But why?"

"There's no why," Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "I just wanted to do this." It's better for you, isn't it?"

"Thank you!" Alan Hal patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder.

"Let's go back. Seeing that the commandos carried a few large bags of cash to his command car, Alan Hal said to Xiao Yao again, "Go back and make a detailed interrogation record, I can't wait to know everything that has happened." ”

After catching a few suspects and confirming that Xiao Yao and the ransom were safe and sound, the communication personnel in the command car had already transmitted the good news back to the sub-bureau headquarters. The public relations department of the New York branch of the FBI also quickly informed the media concerned about the development of the case. So when Alan Hare led the team back to the headquarters of the New York bureau, there were already many reporters gathered at the door.

Whether it was the commandos escorting the handcuffed robbers into the police station, or Alan Hal taking Xiao Yao into the police station, the flash of the camera in the hands of the photographers did not stop from the moment they got out of the car to the time they entered the gate.

Before entering the gate, Alan Hal and Xiao Yao were unsurprisingly blocked by a group of reporters with microphones.

"According to Mr. Sean, there were seven robbers and kidnappers this time, three of whom had been killed for resisting arrest, and the remaining four had been caught and had not slipped through the net. Alan Hal had to stop and say, "As for the specific facts of the case, we will start the interrogation and further investigation immediately, and when everything is clear, we at the FBI will hold a press conference to explain it to the media in detail." ”

Because Xiao Yao is willing to cooperate with the police to maintain his image, Alan Hal did not say much at this time, but only introduced the results of a battle that did not slip through the net, and the rest, it is better to wait for the investigation to clarify the whole thing and then discuss with the public relations department to come up with the most appropriate official statement.

"I am grateful to the US police for rescuing me from the suspects, and they acted very efficiently. I haven't completely calmed down from my nerves and fears yet, so you'd better wait for the police press conference. Xiao Yao also said simply.

After dealing with the media reporters at the door, Alan Hal and Xiao Yao entered the substation together.

"Bayi!" As soon as he entered the door of the office area on the floor where Alan Howl's department was located, Xiao Yao heard a cry of surprise. Then a few people rushed out of the guest lounge next to the door, and the ones who ran at the front were undoubtedly Xiao Yao's parents.

received the news from the police that Xiao Yao had been successfully rescued, and Xiao Siqi, Ye Jiaying and others who were waiting in the hotel also immediately came to the FBI New York branch to wait for Xiao Yao.

"Mom, Dad, Mom! Xiao Yao immediately greeted him apologetically.

After hugging his parents for a while, Xiao Yao hugged Sun Tingting, Yin Xi and Fang still in the back, and said the same words of apology and comfort.

"Do you need to go to the break room for a while?" asked Alan Howl. Although he can't wait to find out what happened, Alan Hare can also understand the joy of being reunited after the family has been rescued. At this time, all the suspects had been caught or killed, and he was not in a hurry for these few minutes.

"No need. They were relieved to see that I was fine. Xiao Yao shook his head at Alan Hal and said, "Let's make a note first, if we have anything to say, we'll talk about it after we go back to the hotel." ”

Xiao Yao found that there were no Zhao Rui, Zhou Zhihao, or Pei Minyi here, it was estimated that there were too many people, and it was inconvenient for them all to come to the police station and wait in the hotel. Anyway, when they go back, they will definitely have to ask themselves what happened, so it is better to talk about it together when they go back.

"You wait for me for a moment. Xiao Yao turned his head to his parents and the others, "I'll go take notes and come back soon." ”

"Go, we'll wait for you!" Ye Jiaying said with red eyes. As Xiao Yao said, they were most concerned about Xiao Yao's safety, and they were relieved to see him standing in front of them alive.

Although Xiao Yao said that he would come back soon, the time to make a record was not short. From the robbery at the press conference to the kidnapping case later, these are actually two cases, and they lasted for several days in between, and Alan Hare asked very carefully, so it lasted for a long time.

"If you were able to subdue Jose with a camera while you were in the Emerald Palace, why don't you use the terrain and catch your father, Murphy Tiard? After Xiao Yao told everything that had happened, Alan Hare began to ask questions about the incomprehensible points.

"You've been hiding in the shadows. There's no reason why you can deal with a man in the prime of life with your bare hands, and you can't deal with an old man who is almost sixty years old with a gun in your hand, right? Didn't you say you shot in the Emerald Palace?" You subdue them one by one, maybe you can solve them at that time, so why risk exposing your position?"

The trigger of the assault rifle had Xiao Yao's fingerprints on it, although I don't know if it was covered by Jose's own fingerprints later, and whether the FBI's forensic department could find out, but my father was not dead, and he also had to record a confession. At that time, it couldn't have been Jose who shot his father, and he didn't hit anyone anyway, so Xiao Yao didn't hide it.

"I'm not Lan Bo!" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "Although I can shoot, I am neither a policeman nor a soldier." I've only shot at a target, not even an animal, let alone a living person. The shot I fired at Daddy Tiar wasn't aimed at him at all, and the shots I fired outside when I told Tim to call the police were also aimed at the location where no one was around. If someone shoots me and I have a gun in my hand, I might shoot back before I have time to think about it. But if I ambush someone with a gun, and sneak attack someone who didn't point a gun at me, and have time to think, there will be a psychological barrier, and I won't be able to pull the trigger at all!"

"The flash on the camera had been smashed by me when I was dealing with José, the dagger was a melee weapon, and I wasn't good at throwing knives. Jose was cautious, I couldn't sneak up on the corner, and who knows if Tial was like that. Xiao Yao continued, "And I know that Tim must have called the police at that time, and felt that Mary and the others should want to escape as soon as possible, so I spoke out to add some pressure to them." I didn't expect her to find my friend in the performance hall and threaten my friend's life. ”

Alan Hal shook his head and sighed, "So you escaped from the hands of Jose without harming any of the suspects at all, except for knocking Jose unconscious twice in the Emerald Palace?"

"Actually, the most important thing is that the three suspects left behind are infighting," Xiao Yao said, "otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to stay on the roof of the warehouse and wait for you to come." ”

"Understood. Alan Hal nodded and asked, "By the way, who is Rambo?"

"Oh, oh, it's a character I've seen in a movie, a very powerful special forces, one person can deal with many people. Xiao Yao then remembered that there was no "First Blood" in this world, and there was no Blue Wave, so he had to compare and illustrate a similar movie character in this world, "It is almost equivalent to Willy in the movie "Lone Hero". ”

"I see. Alan Hal nodded, "What? I'll read it when I get a chance." I'm a big fan of this kind of movies and. ”

Xiao Yao was about to answer Alan Howl's question with "I forgot" when there was a knock on the door of the inquiry room, and then a blonde beauty in a black suit with eyes opened the door and walked in with a pile of papers, and said to Alan Howl: "Excuse me! Are you finished? Can we discuss what to say to the media?"

"Yes," Alan Hare said with a smile, "we've just finished our transcripts. ”

"Since you're willing to help us maintain the image of the police, let's talk about how to say to the media, okay?" Alan Hare said, turning to Xiao Yao.

"Absolutely. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Sean, for your help. The blonde beauty sat down on the chair next to Alan Hal and said to Xiao Yao with a smile, "If you encounter any trouble in the United States in the future, as long as it is not a particularly serious crime, our FBI will do our best to help you." ”

"Thank you. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, and at the same time said in his heart, "This is exactly what I want." ”
