…………
The cattle thief was eventually forced to retreat and hide in a natural dirt pit. There was also a tree on one side of the pit. In this way, he can be hidden on three sides. Now he was surrounded on three sides, and if he continued to retreat, he would be forced out of the forest, and there were helicopters hovering in the sky. He was wounded again, and it was impossible for him to escape. So he simply resisted in this dirt pit.
Waite hid behind a tree and shouted, "You have been surrounded, immediately lay down your arms and surrender." I know you're injured and need treatment. As soon as you lay down your weapon, we'll send you to the necessary treatment right away. ”
But in response to him, a shuttle bullet.
Waite scolded and said, "Did they force the first lady to sleep?" and was surrounded by wounds, but still unwilling to surrender. Could it be that they didn't just steal cattle, but that they had committed other crimes? These two cattle thieves are likely to be the kidnapping and murder suspects that the FBI is pursuing. Or even what other crimes they can sit on in prison?
He angrily fired several shots at the front. But he didn't use his weapon. Because he is a policeman, his standard weapon is the police pistol in his hand.
And at a distance, his pistol is just a look, not threatening at all.
Link doesn't care why the other side is unwilling to surrender. All he knew was that it was better for the bull thief to be dead than alive.
If the other party is caught, he may only need to spend a few years in prison to get out. God knows if the other party will want to take revenge on him when he comes out? He has a wife and children, and any threats he needs to put an end to in advance.
He saw that the bullthief was farther away from him, and that the tree was blocking him. He slid down the tree again and chased after him.
At this time, Tiger and Waite were in front, shooting behind the trees. Link found a tree near Tiger to hide.
Tiger fired a few bullets and said to Link, "Someone from the second squad has been shot." ”
"Seriously?"
"I heard that I was shot in the shoulder. I asked Mir to come over and help. ”
Link nodded and said, "I'll have the helicopter take people to the doctor." "Now they're biting the man so tightly that he has a wound in the leg, and he can't escape even if he doesn't have a helicopter to watch him from the air.
He called Bluff and told him to prepare to take the wounded to the hospital. Tiger uses the walkie-talkie to ask Mir to send people to an open area where a helicopter can hoist them.
Link fired a few shots from behind and retracted and said, "He's got a lot of bullets!"
"He's already fired at least four magazines. But the other one should have only hit two magazines. It is now possible that he has more spare ammunition. ”
Because someone was injured, Tiger ordered the two sub-teams to stop trying to get closer to the cattle thief and only attack on the perimeter. I want to wait for the other party to finish shooting bullets before capturing the other party alive.
But Link was reluctant to accept the outcome.
He said to Tiger, "Cover me." As Tiger ran out of fire, he began to reach to the side.
He had only crossed two trees when he suddenly saw the cattle thief poking his head out between Tiger's fire. He was discovered.
He jerked forward and fell behind a tree. Several bullets hit where he had just been.
And this is Tiger's gun again. Link quickly poked his head out of the tree's roots, and the cow seemed to be being forced back into the pit by Tiger's fire. He sprang forward again for about ten meters, hiding behind another tree.
He was poking his head out, and the other party still seemed to be suppressed. He climbed the tree again. The angle of this tree and the dirt pit is just right.
This time he climbed higher.
The trees in the forest were enough to shelter his body. He was right behind the trunk of the tree, and it was hard for the bull thief to hit him.
When he climbed to the right branch, he saw a bull thief dragging his injured leg and fleeing from the dirt pit. He raised his gun and took aim. A barrage of bullets was fired.
The bull thief fell in response. After a few convulsions on the ground, he didn't move.
He waited for a while, and Tiger and Waite quietly passed over to signal that it was all right, and then he came down from the tree.
When he got to the corpse, the other cowboys had already gathered around. After Waite examined it, he said, "The bullet hit him in the back of the head." Died on the spot. He glanced at Link and said. "He wouldn't have died. "His idea was that as long as the man ran out of bullets, he would definitely surrender. But Link's flanking condescension forced him to flee the pit. And as he fled, Link fired.
Link returned the gun to the cowboy and said, "All I know is that one of my workers was injured, and if this continues, there may be more workers injured." I'd rather him die. ”
At this time, Tiger took out more than three magazines of pressed bullets from the cloth bag on the deceased's chest, as well as two boxes of 200 rounds, and said: "If we don't put enough pressure on him, his bullets will probably last until dark." It is clear that he was once a professional soldier. At night, we didn't want more casualties so we had to retreat. And it is likely that he will succeed in escaping from our encirclement. ”
Waite just said that, in fact, there was also a reminder of Link. Now that Link and Tiger were talking about that, he didn't say anything more.
He stood up and said, "I'm going to report what happened here to my superiors." However, I need to update the situation. Perhaps everyone here will need to make a transcript at that time. ”
Link: Of course they won't have an opinion. Two people died, and a transcript must be made.
Waite told Link: "There is also a possibility that they will search the scene. He glanced at the corpse on the ground and said. "Now I suspect that these two men are the two wanted suspects I said at the Border Inn at noon. They need to find evidence. ”
Baker's farm is Link's private domain, and without his consent, even the FBI cannot enter the farm without a warrant.
He nodded, "Yes, but only in this forest, and for a maximum of twelve hours." ”
"If they have that plan, I'll explain it to them. ”
Link saw that the matter was over, so he wanted to leave first.
At this time, Carrick came over with a pistol, he glanced at the corpse on the ground, and said to Link with a smile: "If you are not comfortable to see it with your own eyes, I really can't imagine that your marksmanship is so good, and you have a headshot." ”
Link looked at him and said, "You've been following us?"
"I've been protecting you from a hundred yards behind. ”
The other cowboys listened to him with a little disdain in their eyes.
But Carrick didn't care. He smiled and returned the pistol to Tiger: "It's intact, not a single bullet is missing." ”
The matter here is over, and Link plans to go back to the villa so that Jessica doesn't worry at home.
Soon the helicopter returned and took him, Carrick, and Tiger back to the muddy basin. They then drove back to the villa. The scene was left to the cowboys and Waite to deal with. Of course, Waite might have waited for reinforcements to arrive.
When Link returns to the villa, he has to explain it to Jessica. Carrick, on the other hand, said he was going to take a shower first.
When he finished speaking, Carrick also changed his clothes and came out to him, "Link, I have some new ideas to tell you. ”
Link listened to him and asked, "Are you going to the study?"
"Of course!" Carrick gave Jessica an apologetic smile.
Link had no choice but to go to the study with him: "What do you have in mind?"
Carrick pulled out an old-looking book from his jacket, "Look, what is this?"
Link took it and flipped through it, and said, "An old diary? ”
"Look at the last cover!"
Link flipped to the end, only to find that the crusty cover seemed to be thicker than the front. He found that there was an opening in the cover. He took out a thin piece of white silk from it, and saw that the lines on it should represent the mountains and rivers.
He looked up and asked, "What is this?"
"It's written in this diary. This should be a treasure map. Carrick paused and said. "I found it from those trees with beef jerky hanging from them. It is hidden on a higher branch and is wrapped in a green cloth. I saw a small horn. ”
He suddenly laughed and said, "You didn't go far before I started climbing trees." Those two people couldn't wait to shoot me. I think they wanted to wait for you to get out of the way, go back there and get something, and then get out of that hole. But when they saw me climbing trees, they were worried that I would take things away. That's when I knew there was something very important. It's just that I didn't expect it to be this so-called treasure map. ”
"This must be fake!" Link remembered that Hans's farm had been scattered with treasures. Those so-called treasures may be there, but no one knows where they are. The so-called treasure map is really fake.
Especially this one, since there are maps, it should have been dug up a long time ago.
But Carrick said, "It's very likely that the security that the map says is true." But it's hard to say whether the map is real or not. ”
"How do you know?"
"This Waverley diary, I saw a lot of documents mentioned in the Pentagon's secrets. It seems that the U.S. military has spent a lot of manpower to find it. ”
"Could it be that this diary contains treasures?"
"There is a treasure map. Carrick shook his head. "The owner of this diary is a major of the American army who participated in the European War during World War II. He took part in the battle for the capture of Berlin. After the war, he retired to business, and everything seemed to be fine. But the military secretly arrested him. Because he was suspected of murdering sixteen other retired soldiers, the military investigated that their deaths were related to a collection of treasures that they had coveted from Germany. The major revealed a lot of information during the interrogation that was difficult to distinguish between true and false. Because he knew he would die if he revealed the truth. But he didn't last long. In one of the electrocutions he died. But the military also learned during previous interrogations that he had drawn a treasure map, which was hidden in his diary during the war. But they searched Waverly's home. Didn't find this notebook. ”
"I just hacked into the FBI's systems. It was found that the ransom demanded by the two suspects in the kidnapping and murder in Rhode Island included this thing. The kidnapped farmer was actually Waverley's grandson, the son of the daughter he had with his lover. The diary was kept right in his lover's place. ”
When Link heard this, he put down the diary and said with a wry smile, "So, this thing is very hot." Don't you just have enough money, why do you have to bring it back?"
Carrick touched his chin and said, "Curious! But you're really not interested?"
"I have a lot of money. Don't say if this treasure is real, even if it's true, I don't have more of it, and less of it. I don't want to get into trouble. ”
"Even if there is an Amber Palace among the treasures?"
