Chapter 39 Physiological Reactions to Professionalism
Touch!
Catherine, who was tied to a chair, suddenly raised her head as she heard a muffled sound from the door, the anticipation in her eyes and the horror on her face coexisted on the same face......
"Don't move, it's a man's game."
Ted's voice came from behind her, the sunlight leaking through the cracks in the plank-sealed windows illuminating the scalpel at her throat, which happened to be pinched in the other's hand.
Touch!!
There was another loud bang, and Catherine watched the door kick violently and slam the lock to bounce back, and the moment the sunlight shone through the crack in the door, a man's foot reached into the room by inertia, and then, he rushed in with a stride, and aimed into the room with both guns in his hands, saying, "Let her go!" ”
Before the voice could fall, another man in a black suit rushed in with a pistol: "You---let go of the knife!" ”
"Hey,--raising-! Hurt her, you'd better think about the consequences for yourself! ”
The moment Weekend and Justin rushed in, the room was full of Justin's shouts, not that he was not calm enough, these words were putting psychological pressure on the hostage-taking bandits, and only when the other party thought that there would be unimaginable serious consequences for hurting the hostages, this would make the opportunity for negotiation appear.
Generally speaking, the hostage-taking bandits at this time should also cooperate with the police's yelling and arguing, shouting 'Get out!' ''Or I'll kill her right away!'' But the person in front of him is calm and doesn't like that. Squatting behind the chair with Catherine strapped to it, only one hand reached out and rested it on the other's shoulder. The body is completely hidden behind the chair. It doesn't mean anything to compare their voices with them.
"Hey, that Latino, you get out."
Ted's words made Justin stunned for a long time, he felt like he had been evicted by his master in the other party's office or home.
"Take his gun by the way."
Justin glanced back at the weekend, not quite figuring out what was going on: "Why do you think I'm--why should I listen to you?" He pursed his lips, a look of disdain on his face.
"I'll kill her, no kidding."
Weekend reached out and handed Glock 22 in his hand, and responded verbally, "Do as he says." This bastard's mood is not the same as that of a normal person, and we can't provoke him. ”
Justin, who slowly reached out to take the weekend's gun, was very skeptical of the weekend's decision, and after looking back and forth, he put away the Glock 22, and at this moment, Ted opened his mouth again: "There is also a gun." The deep and steady voice did not reveal the slightest panic, as if everything was expected.
"I'm not an FBI, who's going to give me a spare gun?" I tried to say a word over the weekend.
Ted didn't show any joy and said, "Who knows? ”
He took off his shirt over the weekend and proved that there was absolutely no one on his body except for a holster. Immediately, he played with his trouser legs again. proved that he didn't have a gun tied to his calf, so he stood in place and said: "What you are looking for is me, how about you let her go?" ”
"I don't have a gun on me, I'm still a police officer, and people outside will definitely be more suspicious of me...... I'll be your hostage. There was no sense of good or evil when he said this sentence on the weekend, like a professional physiological reaction.
Ted smiled, "Would you be more valuable than the daughter of the deputy chief of police?" ”
He knows!
Weekend's eyes widened suddenly, he had always thought that Ted didn't know that Catherine was Matthew's daughter, and now, the situation was completely different.
"Latino dude, did you buy a ticket?" What he meant was that he didn't want anyone to watch a play here.
Justin heard this, and when he couldn't think of a better way, he turned and walked out, staring against the not-so-dazzling afternoon sun.
……
"What's going on inside?"
"How did you find this? Is Ted here? ”
As soon as Justin came out of the warehouse-like house in the courtyard, a police car belonging to the Western Branch stopped at the back door of the house, and Karl and Leonova, dressed in police uniforms, got out of the car and anxiously asked if there was a result of this matter.
But before he could say everything himself, he had to figure out his thoughts...... For example, starting with a crazy run over the weekend......
Fifteen minutes ago, Weekend was standing motionless on the side of the road like a stone statue, and at that time Justin thought that this guy had been beaten to a decadent point, but immediately after a phone call, he began to ask if there were people living in this area.
To be honest, Justin couldn't understand the weekend's behavior, and what he couldn't understand was that when the second call came into the weekend's mobile phone, this guy actually melted the face like facial paralysis, as if the corners of his eyes were beating with excitement, so that Justin could clearly feel it a meter away!
"I found him!" That's what he said over the weekend, and then he didn't give Justin any time to think, calling Carl to report his location as he ran, and the two of them showed up.
Justin couldn't figure out who made the call, but it was clear to the weekend that the second call was the result of John's investigation, which had been out for hours.
John said, 'The courier has found it, and the address for the delivery is downstairs from Chekov's house. This was a crucial clue that quickly disproved the hypothesis that Ted had fled.
People are insecure, no matter who holds a person hostage and what he is going to do next, he will choose a safe place, who will take a pregnant woman hostage, put the unconscious pregnant woman in the car, and drive the car to the nearby mail mail? Doesn't a pregnant woman who is unconscious in the car attract the attention of other people? Doesn't his car leave clues under road surveillance? Once the police have a license plate, all the surveillance on the road can follow him like a ghost!
The only plausible explanation for this behavior was that Ted had already set up Catherine and made sure she wouldn't wake up until he had made his next move, so that he could swagger downstairs at Chekov's house and send out emails from a position that would humiliate the Los Angeles police.
That's the main reason why no one around has seen anyone holding a pregnant woman into the car, because the car didn't exist in the first place!
Given this inference and the dog barking from the enhanced timbre on the disc, it was immediately determined that Ted was hiding in the house of a nearby dog owner, and the only thing he needed to confirm was that the disabled dog owner had died.
Therefore, after determining the clues, he began to rush all the way to this house, so he dared to climb over the wall to enter the courtyard of this house, smash the glass on the door of this house, open the door lock and break in directly!
And what he saw at that moment on the weekend was just as he thought, on the floor of this room lay a man with obvious muscle atrophy on both legs, a dead man lying in a pool of blood with a Samoyed whispering beside him, and a wheelchair around the pool of blood.
I knew on the weekend that Ted wouldn't run, and if he did, he would have run a long time ago, so what was the mail for? He must have had a plan for the next step after holding Catherine hostage, and that plan would take time...... Perhaps, the cooperation of the police is also needed.
……
In a small warehouse-like room, Weekend stood in the doorway and looked at Ted hiding behind Catherine, frowning slightly, he couldn't figure out what kind of backhand Ted was keeping.
"How much more time do you need?"
He asked, and when he couldn't think of it, he asked directly.
Ted replied in a low voice, "Wait. ”
Laptop!
Weekend saw a bright light shine behind Catherine's chair, which illuminated Ted's position, and as Weekend followed the cable attached to his laptop, he suddenly saw the DV hanging in the corner of the room...... This bastard...... Could it be......
"Don't worry, I've checked the viewing angle, and I can take a panoramic view of our place there, but I can't do it if it's a little off."
Weekend all understood!
WIFI can provide network for laptops, and with DV connection, Ted has a picture on the computer...... He didn't kill Catherine for the live broadcast, he didn't run for the live broadcast, and he made fake footprints at the scene of Catherine's disappearance in order to gain time, just to ferment the number of people who can watch this live broadcast.
He wants to kill Catherine in front of the police and everyone who watches the live broadcast, and while taking revenge on the entire Los Angeles Police Department, the police department will never be able to raise its head, and in the future, once the police have a conflict with anyone, someone will use 'you group of waste that can't even save a pregnant woman' to fight back! (To be continued......)
