Chapter 29: The Game
Everyone went to the place where Beckett had an accident, and soon found Beckett's car parked on the side of the street, with a note on the window that said: She is really dangerous, come and save her.
Cassel looked at the note and said, "Kelly. Niemann wants us to know that Beckett has been captured. ”
Esposito scolded, "He's calling the forensic department!" All the staff were dispatched, and all the police officers on duty searched and checked everyone, and someone must have seen her. ”
Ryan said to the other officers, "We're going to look at all the surveillance cameras in this area, all the ATMs and merchants, everything that can see the street, and let's do it!" ”
Within the New York Police Department, Commissioner Montgomery set up a task force.
Montgomery said, "I was sent to spy on Kelly. Nieman and Katrina's men reported that they were all gone. I have dispatched police from Wards 3 and 8 to help investigate the place where Beckett had an accident, and all the officers on leave have been called back to continue their work, and if there are witnesses at the scene, we will definitely find them. ”
Kassel asked, "Did you find anything from the surveillance facilities?" ”
"The area where you found her car was not covered by surveillance equipment, it was a great location for kidnapping, and I sent a team from District 4 to look at all the surveillance footage within a 10-block radius of Beckett's abduction," said the police department's information specialist. The chances are slim, but that's the only thing we can do. ”
"Can Katrina's phone call to Beckett be tracked?"
"I found a mobile phone, but it has been discontinued. However, we have given the pictures of Beckett and Katrina to all the police officers and traffic police in the city. ”
Montgomery looked at the information board and said suspiciously: "The brain-gouging rejuvenation case and several homicide files and evidence have been used by Kelly. Niemann Design took it, she doesn't have any criminal record now, why would she come back to do these dangerous things? ”
"Because it's exciting, watching us fail again and again, watching our pain up close, she gets satisfaction, she wants to see how close she can get to the flames, she enjoys not just killing, it's more like a game that forces us to participate, that's her plan," Kassel analyzed. ”
As soon as Cassel finished speaking, the mobile phone on his body rang, and after connecting it, Beckett's voice came, "Cassel, I need your help, Cassel, come and save me, Cassel!" Save me! ”
The phone hung up, and the information specialist hurriedly asked, "What is the phone number?" ”
“212-555-0147”
"How long will it take to track it down, it sounds like she's struggling, she's trying to escape from someone, she's probably still there," Casssel said urgently. ”
A few minutes later, the information specialist said: "Found it, on the Upper West Side, in the parking lot next to the West End Expressway. ”
Montgomery pointed at everyone and shouted, "Hurry, hurry, let's go!" ”
A tape recorder was placed on the payphone at the scene, which recorded the passage in advance, leaving some people to search the neighborhood and others to return to the police station.
The information specialist examined the recording, which was stitched together with several different source clips.
Played by Niemann again, Cassel sat in his chair with his head in his hands and was silent.
Alexis pulled Chen Zhong to Cassel and said, "Dad, you have to cheer up. Beckett once said that only you can see the whole story, Nieman disrupts your thinking, and you let her get her way. If you want to save Beckett, you have to imagine what story she would want to write if she were Niemann. What she wants to do next, figure it out, and we'll find her. ”
Kassel's phone rang again, and the information specialist connected to his phone, and Niemann's voice was heard, "Is this game fun?" Do you know which part I like best? It's the pain in your eyes, full of pain and fear, because you know she's in my hands. ”
"If you're coming at me," Cassel said, "take me away and let her go." ”
"No, that would only kill you once, it's too easy, but like now, I can make your life worse than death. Oh, by the way, help me say sorry to Chen, the story between him and Villeret, I seem to end too quickly, very substandard, Cassel, I promise you that this time the story between you and Beckett will not end so quickly. ”
Chen Zhong remembered the tragic situation of Villeret, his heart was full of anger, and his body trembled slightly, Alexis felt his emotion, and quickly held his hand to comfort her.
Niemann had just hung up the phone when the information specialist said, "I've found out the phone number, it's Cassel's phone." ”
Cassel panicked and said, "Martha! ”
SWAT units and officers burst into Kassel's house, and Martha screams at the sudden intruder.
After a search, no trace of Niemann was found, and information experts found that Kassel's phone had been counterfeited.
Montgomery patted Cassel on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, we'll get Beckett out and capture Kelly. Nieman's. ”
"I know, Niemann is doing this trick just to know that she can threaten me at any moment," Cassel said. ”
Ryan suddenly ran over and said, "Where Beckett was kidnapped, a witness was found, and he said he saw Beckett being dragged into a red pickup van, which we found outside an abandoned factory in Queens, and the SWAT team had rushed over. ”
……
The SWAT team member opposite the factory said on the intercom: "I am Sniper No. 02, and I found the hostage tied to the northeast corner of the third floor. But the enemy was not found. ”
The commander of the SWAT team said: "Attention, everyone, the location of the hostages has been determined, the snipers search for the enemy's tracks, cover us, and the other squads attack." ”
Chen Zhong put on body armor and planned to go in with everyone, Cassel pointed to Alexis and Martha in the car and said, "Chen, I'll go in with everyone, you protect the two of them here, I'm worried that Niemann will attack them." ”
Chen Zhong thought about it for a moment and said to him: "Okay, you go, remember that if you see Nieman, don't kill her, keep it for me, I want to have a good talk with her." ”
Kassel nodded solemnly and followed the SWAT and police officers into the building.
SWAT team members looked inside the door with miniature peepholes, but found no enemies, only a woman tied to a chair inside.
When everyone was ready, a SWAT team member slammed open the door, and Cassel rushed in with everyone.
Gradually approaching the hostage tied to the chair, it was vaguely clear that this person was Beckett, and the tied Beckett suddenly shouted: "Cassel, don't move, stand back, this is a trap!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard four gunshots, and Beckett, who was tied to a chair, was shot in the head one after another.
Cassel ran over and hugged her and cried, "No, Kate is so sorry, I'm really sorry. ”
