33. Hostage-taking
As a veteran police officer, Hank is very perceptive, and after hearing the report, he began to diverge and associate with the information he has obtained so far, and then immediately made inferences.
The house at 17th 96th Street seems to be the most ordinary two-story building in the suburbs of Brooklyn, but in fact the address is not simple, this is Jaguire's address.
Jaquel played a key role in the suppression of the smuggling gang a few days ago, and he was an undercover agent who had concealed his identity and lurked in the gang for a long time, and after the gang was eliminated, Jaquill did not terminate the undercover mission and continued to operate as a member of the gang.
Because the New York gang has grown more and more cunning and cautious in the contest with the NYPD, an excellent undercover agent who goes deep behind enemy lines is not easy to come by, and the NYPD's undercover infiltration plan has been repeatedly frustrated in the past ten years, and the undercover police detective with a monotonous background and a lonely family is very easy to arouse the suspicion of the gang.
But the bloated family has undoubtedly become the weakness of several undercover agents, and their mission is equivalent to exposing family members to danger, and the NYPD solemnly promises to protect their families, and the addresses of these undercover agents are the focus of the NYPD's patrol mission.
Therefore, when he got the news that Jaquel's family called the police, Hank became very nervous, and he couldn't help but suspect that the actions of the previous few days exposed the identities of these undercover agents, which attracted the retaliation of the remnants of the gang.
And if Jagir's family suffers a misfortune, it will not only be a devastating blow to the prestige of the NYPD, but the NYPD will also live up to the trust placed in them by the undercover agents.
Thinking of this, Hank took a deep breath and said to Gao Fei while sorting out his equipment: "Gao Fei, take good guys, this is the home of the undercover Jaguire, and his family is very likely to be retaliated against by the criminals!" β
Goofy was deeply impressed by Jaguire, this guy added more than 50 points of worship to him in one breath last time, and when he heard Hank say this, Goofy immediately became serious, and followed Hank out of the car.
Hank stepped forward with his gun, walked around the yard and walked near the main entrance, he didn't open the door directly, but shouted through the front window: "NYPD, is it you who called the police?" β
Gao Fei cautiously walked around the yard for a week, screening for suspicious signs, and then found that the window in the living room in front of the house had obvious traces of violent break-in, and someone should have slipped into the house from here.
"Hank, that's where the people entered." Goofy reminded in a low voice.
Before Hank could reply, a panicked cry for help came from a small window on the second floor.
"Officer! Help, officer! Someone has broken into my house, help us! β
Goofy followed the prestige, only to see that it was a young girl who asked for help, she was supposed to be Jagille's sister, and there were two little boys behind her who were probing their brains.
"What's going on inside? How many gangsters are there? Are you safe now? Gao Fei hurriedly asked.
"I only saw one gangster, I am now hiding in the bathroom with my two younger brothers, blocking the door with a washing machine, the gangster will not be able to enter for a while and a half, but my dad is downstairs, he is in danger!" The girl nervously said, "Please, officer, save my father!" β
"I will, don't worry." Goofy tried to stabilize their mood, "Guard the bathroom door, don't let the gangsters rush in!" β
And Hank, who was on the side, also heard the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and put pressure on the gangsters in the house: "You have been surrounded!" Lay down your arms and take them, and don't put up useless resistance! Repeat, you're already surrounded, lay down your weapons and be captured! Don't resist uselessly! β
There were constant footsteps in the house, and it was supposed that desperate gangsters were looking for a way to escape, but at this time, sirens were heard not far away, and other police officers patrolling nearby arrived in time to help.
With the rapid arrival of the support forces, the gangsters could not escape rashly, and in the blink of an eye, two police cars drove to the scene, and four police officers from other jurisdictions cooperated with Goofy and Hank to surround Jagille's family.
The gangsters can't fly, but according to Jaguire's sister's description, the gangsters are supposed to be taking a hostage in their hands, which makes the situation tricky.
In order to better control the gangster's emotions, Hank shouted into the room: "Listen, you are surrounded now, our reinforcements have arrived, you better come out obediently." Don't wait until the sniper is in position, or you'll be dealt with with just one bullet. β
The phrase worked, and a moment later the door to the antechamber opened.
A burly middle-aged man slowly walked out of the hallway by a gray-haired old gentleman, holding an M1911 in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the old gentleman's temple.
"Officer, I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise I will exchange my life for my life, and let this old man bury me!"
The gangster had an arrogant attitude and said with a sneer.
On the second floor, Jaquel's sister saw her father being kidnapped by gangsters, and screamed anxiously: "Dad! You let go of my dad! β
Hank hurriedly gestured to silence the girl, and the screams would stimulate the sensitive nerves of the gangster, and even force him to shoot.
The gangsters had no fear and walked down the stairs step by step. Although several NYPD police officers gathered at the scene, none of them dared to act rashly.
"Stand back! Fast! If you don't do what I say, this old man will die! The gangster threatened.
The officers looked hesitant and couldn't make up their minds for a while, but everyone did not retreat, and pointed their guns at the gangsters.
"What are you doing? Don't do what I say! Do you want this old man to die in front of you? Yes?! β
The gangsters were in a violent mood and roared and gave orders. The police officers looked at each other and were in a dilemma under the coercion of the gangsters.
But Goofy, who was guarding the door, was amazed - rescuing the hostages from the gunmen was a dangerous mission! If you don't do it properly, you can always have the opportunity to die heroically!
So Goofy frowned and thought about it.
With a cough, Goofy calmly said to the gangsters: "Please, friend, do you think the NYPD will care about the hostages you have taken?" You really don't know much about the NYPD, haven't you followed the news? The NYPD often beats gangsters and hostages together into a sieve! β
βWhatοΌβ The gangster was stunned by Gao Fei's words, there is such a thing?
The old gentleman in the hands of the gangster was even more frightened and gasped: What? You're saying the NYPD is going to beat me into a sieve?
Hank had a black line on his face, and hurriedly reminded Gao Fei in a low voice: "Ahem, that's what the LAPD (Los Angeles Police) did, our NYPD is not so brutal......"
Gao Fei pouted: "NYPD, LAPD...... It's pretty much the same anyway, I'm trying to rescue the hostages, don't interrupt. β
After that, he turned to the gangsters again and said loudly: "Friend, to tell you the truth, the NYPD doesn't care about the life or death of an ordinary hostage, there is no point in you kidnapping this old gentleman, we should shoot you or have to shoot you!" Besides, this old gentleman is old and frail, what if he can't stand the fright, has a heart attack, and dies on the spot? Don't you have no cards to play? β
The gangster pondered that this was indeed the case, so he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" β
Gao Fei smiled lightly, then put the gun at his feet, then raised his hands towards the gangster, took two steps forward, and said calmly: "Okay, as a hostage, I am more valuable than this old gentleman, come, you take me as a hostage, and then let this old gentleman go, you will make a profit on this deal, what do you think?" β
