Chapter 147: Suicide by jumping into the sea
Nathan pressed a red button on the dashboard, and the surging power of the two turbocharged engines intensified at the same time, and as Nathan stepped on the accelerator again and again, the SUV quickly approached the van in front of it at an initial speed comparable to that of Boeing.
The latest FBI modified SUV, the body is all a large number of armor protection plates, the whole car glass is polycarbonate sandwiched to prevent bursting, the most special feature, is the configuration of two 8-cylinder engines.
In daily use, it is generally two engines in turn, and in case of a special moment such as chasing or escaping, they can start together at the same time in a short period of time.
Due to the cancellation of the built-in electronic speed limit, the FBI SUV accelerates to 100 kilometers in only 4.5 seconds, and the top speed can exceed 300 kilometers per hour.
The SUV in just 10 seconds and so on, is less than 200 meters from the van in front. The newsboy driving the car was terrified, puffs of black smoke coming out of the van's exhaust pipe, and it was clear that he was still trying to accelerate.
Nathan sneered, boy, look where you're running, you have the ability to get rid of me. The accelerator under his feet stepped down again, and the SUV was almost a volley leap forward, and Coleman, who was sitting in the front seat, and Wang Lei, who was in the back row, could already see the panicked faces of the newsboys in the van who turned around from time to time.
There was a street intersection in front, and it was already a red light at this point.
The van bypassed a Volvo parked at the front and sprinted head-on into the traffic in front of it. Bursts of sudden braking resounded over the intersection, and a Dodge did not have time to stop, so in order not to hit the back box of the car in front, it had to force a direction, and plunged into a large garbage can on the side of the road.
The SUV came to an abrupt stop, and the faces of the three people in the car changed color at the same time. The heavy tail of the car was thrown out in an instant, and the tank of a huge tanker truck that was also braking sharply came to a dangerous stop in the middle of the intersection.
Nathan yelled and scrambled to turn around, squeezing past the sidewalk on the side of the road, and the van in the distance was already a small black dot, almost unable to see the shadow.
Of course, it's impossible to give up, not to mention a tattered van, which is about the same level as a van, where can he go.
The SUV chased after it again, and after a few minutes, the small black dot from earlier was clearly visible. The newsboy, who was still wearing a hood in the car, turned his head and looked, and the hateful one turned right and got on Vincent? Auxiliary road to the Thomas Bridge.
Nathan saw the newsboy's sudden change of direction clearly, and opened his mouth to laugh. Kaulman turned back to Wang Lei and explained: "If he continues to go straight, there are many intersections in front of him and there is a lot of traffic, maybe we may not be able to catch up with him." He's walking Vincent now? The auxiliary road of the Thomas Bridge, which is a straight road, leads to the pier under the bridge and there is no way to go. ”
Wang Lei was stunned for less than 3 seconds, and suddenly shouted: "Oh no, Nathan, hurry up and catch up." ”
Judging by previous surveillance at Shane's door, the newsboy was very familiar with the streets of Los Angeles. How could he possibly find himself a dead end!
Coleman also understood that if this newsboy drove away in a dilapidated van under his nose, Robert would definitely not trouble Wang Lei, and the black pot would be very considerate on Nathan and his back, and at that time, he would not be able to find a place to cry if he wanted to.
Coleman kept urging Nathan, and the SUV drove onto the bridge's side road.
The van was not far ahead, and the license plate was already faintly visible. No one pays attention to license plates, and it's not easy to steal a car for this operation.
There was an open lot in front of it, and there were several containers around it, and it was already the end of the road to get here. Coleman was a little relieved, and at this point, the newsboy could only be caught.
The van drove to the open space of the dock and finally stopped, and Nathan gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator without letting go: "Immediately, we can catch him right away, and there are still 50 meters behind!" ”
Wang Lei felt a bad feeling in his heart, he grabbed Nathan's shoulder tightly with one hand, and he was almost about to stand up in the back seat: "Hurry up, Nathan, he is going to jump into the sea." ”
The cab of the van stuck out a head and smiled back at the SUV that caught up, and the three of them immediately saw the face of the newsboy, which was exactly the same as Mads in the photo.
"Buzz ......", the sound from the exhaust pipe of the van clearly reached the ears of the three people, and black smoke erupted rapidly.
Just as the SUV was about to parallel to the van, Nathan was about to throw it off and block Mads' way, when the van rushed forward, lightning across the last few meters of the road, and jumped out of the dock.
A beautiful parabola spread smoothly with the van in the air, and vaguely, everyone could still see the determination on Mads's face.
"Bang", the sea water splashed up, and the van was obviously sluggish, and then it was surrounded by Lang flowers and slowly sank.
The SUV stopped at the edge of the pier, and the three people jumped out of the car, staring blankly at the sea. The van sank quickly, and only a small whirlpool remained on the surface of the sea.
A tide of Lang rushed over, and the sea crashed on the dock, and a few drops of water fell on the heads of the three people, and no one avoided it.
The tide receded, and the sea was as calm as ever.
An hour later, police cars gathered at the dock, and several large cranes drove here. Several divers have already descended into the sea, and the salvage work is in full swing.
Wang Lei, Coleman, and Nathan stood next to the car, waiting for the results of the salvage while discussing Mads's moves.
Coleman suddenly remembered something, anyway, it would take time to salvage, so he simply asked: "Wang Lei, how did you know that Dao Mads would go to Shane's house?" Why did he commit suicide? We're going to go to Shane when we're done here, he's responsible for this. ”
Nathan was also puzzled by these questions, and he wanted to ask them in the car, if it weren't for the urgency of the chase, how would it have dragged on until now. Wang Lei didn't say it just now, it's a special situation, now I can solve everyone's doubts!
Wang Lei is not an immortal, and he can't predict it in advance. However, many things can be seen through clues, and then analyze their triggers and causes to get results.
Mads must not have been killed by Mikkelsen. Mikkelsen needed Mads to play a very important role in his planning, or even the protagonist of Mikkelsen's overall planning.
Now it seems that Mikkelson's long stalk of Madders by sending Matthew was not so much an effort to get his daughter's marriage under control as a means to keep Mads under control.
Suspicion of Mikkelson is ruled out, then, the one who is still suspicious on the Los Angeles side is Casey. Through Casey's observation, Wang Lei came to a conclusion - this is a rich girl who is pampered by her father, nothing more, she will not have the determination and plan to kill.
Wang Lei suspects that Mikkelsen should have told his daughter that Mads also has a wife and children in Las Vegas. Maybe more, maybe, even Mikkelson's plan, Casey knows part of it.
This is why Casey wants to have a child now, she wants to use herself and the child to protect Mads, to dispel Mikkelson's cruel thoughts.
Of course, this is just Wang Lei's suspicion, and he will never be able to ask Casey head-on. Casey is a kind rich girl, not arrogant and domineering, why bother to tear open the protective film in other people's hearts, revealing the blood dripping inside.
Then, on the Las Vegas side, the suspects are Rachel and her brother Frankie.
Rachel is directly discharged, and all kinds of photos and furnishings of Rachel's home can be seen to be quite stable with Mads, not to mention that there is a baby less than a year old.
Rachel is just an ordinary woman, not a psychopathic killer. Coleman was amused by these words: "What about Frankie?" ”
Frankie and Rachel are siblings, and maybe he can beat Mads for his sister's sake, but he can't kill his sister's husband. Moreover, the investigation by the Las Vegas police and the FBI division also proved that Frankie was not lying.
"Excluding now, the only one left who has anything to do with this case is Shane." Wang Lei shrugged, after all the exclusions, no matter how innocent the rest looked, it was also a murderer, which is a reason for children who often watch TV.
Shane hurried to Las Vegas, and his initial intention must have been to get the evidence of tax evasion from the remaining Green Securities in Mads' possession, as he himself had claimed.
But after a series of changes, Shane had no choice but to return to Los Angeles with everyone. The problem arises, if Mads wants to be safe for the rest of his life, he must cooperate with the State Tax Service.
Otherwise, although the evidence in Shane's hand is incomplete, the State Taxation Bureau will definitely launch an investigation against Green. At that point, the escaped Mads will be a name on the wanted list.
Therefore, Wang Lei judged that Mads's initial disappearance was just a solution he came up with, and its purpose was nothing more than to get rid of Mikkelsen and Shane at the same time and take the initiative into his own hands.
Mads was supposed to have come to Los Angeles early after getting out of the airport and changing cars, and after Shane returned from Las Vegas, Mads got in touch with him.
Mads is very smart, if the documents are sent to Shane according to Shane's wishes, then the people around Shane are likely to invite him to the Los Angeles office of the National Tax Bureau, and the witnesses and evidence will not be more sure to scuttle the aircraft carrier Green.
Wang Lei also considered that if he was Mads, he would also choose the time when the newspaper would be delivered in the morning, and it would not attract anyone's attention, and even Shane hid in the window and didn't find out?! Shane may have stayed up all night after contacting Mads, hiding there and staring outside, perhaps, there are still a lot of people waiting at home.
Just as he was about to talk about Mads's suicide, the salvage work over there was completed, and several police officers at the scene shouted to hurry over.
