Chapter 42: Arrest (2)

Zoe turned the laptop in front of her so that the screen was pointed at the crowd.

"Max Gibson, only 24 years old, but he's been in the 54th Street gang for more than 10 years."

"He was recently sentenced to 12 years in prison for being charged with aggravated assault and attempted murder in Victorville, and the Fifty-Fourth Street Gangs will do whatever it takes to get him out of jail, including helping him run to another state."

Tim nodded, "I have an informant in the Fifty-Fourth Street Gang, and he might give us some inside information. ”

Superintendent Gray ordered, "Go talk to your informant." ”

Tim understood, and turned away with Lucy.

Zoe continued, "Well, the next fugitive is Caleb Yost, who in my opinion is the most dangerous one. ”

"This man, 44, is a former bank investor who was sentenced to five years for securities fraud and eight years for resisting arrest and biting off the nose of a deputy sheriff during his arrest."

Everyone who was watching looked at each other.

Superintendent Gray said, "The FBI believes that Caleb hid a large amount of cash before his arrest, and it is likely that he will find a way to get it back and flee to other states with it." ”

"So we're going to find a way to use the FBI's clues to find out where he's hiding the cash, and then wait and go?" John was thoughtful.

"So, let's all get moving, and before Tim has enough information from his informant, you should visit Caleb's relatives and find out where he hid his cash, based on the FBI."

Zoe waved for everyone to disband and go their separate ways.

Jack and Hannah visit Caleb Yost's first wife, a former supermodel in her early 30s, who has remarried and seems to be in love with her current wealthy husband.

After a few brief questions, the two took their leave, and returned to the police car, where Hannah checked the latest developments with the command center on the radio, and the two prisoners at large had not yet been found.

But Tim had bad news on his side, and his informant said that the gangster named Max Gibson was unlikely to go back to the Fifty-Fourth Street Gangs for help, because this guy had previously gotten involved the woman of the mob boss, Cohen.

Jack almost laughed out loud when he heard the news: "Why is this guy running?" Didn't he know that it was safest for him to stay in prison now? ”

Hannah shook her head: "Not necessarily, Victorville's prison is not of a high level, maybe there are gang members in it who want to kill him all the time." ”

"It's even more troublesome to get killed outside, and if the body is disposed of by then, our task will be difficult."

Jack shook his head and contacted John's group over the intercom.

"Hey, John, did you find anything over there?"

John replied over the intercom: "We just arrived at the aunt's house of Caleb Yost's second wife, and the volunteer in charge of the community said she would go to church every day, but she didn't show up today, so we ......"

"Hell, I think we need reinforcements, the lock is broken."

Jack and Hannah look at each other, find out where John reported on their police laptops, start the police car, sound the alarm, and hit the road.

"John, stay safe, we're nearby, we'll be there soon."

Five minutes later, the two arrived at their destination, during which John described the situation on the public channel through the intercom.

Caleb Yost hid the money in the fireplace of his ex-wife's aunt's house, and when John and Neela Harper arrived, he took the hapless old woman hostage and was currently blocked in front of the fireplace in the living room.

Jack and Hannah get out of the car and are about to go into the house to assist John when Zoe calls over the intercom.

It turned out that Tim's informant was a former gangster who didn't wash his hands, and the gangster kid who got his sister-in-law was his subordinate before, and the informant tricked the gangster kid into his home and notified Tim to arrest someone.

As a result, they were discovered by the 54th Street gangsters, and the gangsters poured out of their nests and sealed off the informant's neighborhood, Tim and Lucy had rushed over, but a large number of police were now rushing to John and Jack's side, and there was no way to support them in time.

According to Tim's report, thirty or forty gang members gathered at the scene, vowing to dye back the color of the hat on their boss's head with blood.

Of course, this is Jack's own interpretation, and Lao Mei is not a cuckold.

But in any case, the situation on Tim's side is actually more dangerous, and if a scuffle breaks out, the innocent residents of the entire neighborhood will be involved.

Zoe asks for a quick resolution of the hostage-taking, while Tim tries to wait for Jack and the rest of the district to have reinforcements in place.

"It's such a mess, it's all together." Jack grunted unhappily and rushed into the house with Hannah.

Seeing the scene in front of them, both of them were a little confused, this was not a normal hostage-taking as imagined, the suspect put a gun on the hostage's head, and then threatened the police to let him go.

The current situation is that John and Neela Harper, one from the front door and the other from the back door, are guarding each side of the living room.

Caleb Jost, a former banker, leaned against the fireplace in his living room, surrounded by stacks of knives from the fireplace.

His right hand was tugging at a rope with the other end tied to the trigger of a shotgun that was taped around the shoulders of the old woman tied at the other end of the living room, the muzzle of which was pointed at her head.

Well, this can be regarded as putting the gun on the hostage's head, but there are slightly more links.

John was still shouting to the former banker, "Caleb, it's all over, you can't run away." ”

The expression of the former banker, like that of a desperate madman, raised his right hand, tied to the trigger, was raised high and was shouting wildly.

"Get out of here, you slivers, or I'll stain the walls here red with blood."

John is still unleashing his good mouth cannon skills: "Right now, you're only facing charges of aggravated assault that could put you in jail for a few more years, but if you kill her......"

"Shut up!"

Caleb Yostra straightened the rope in his hand and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense with me, I hate prisons, and if I have the chance to escape, I will definitely catch it." ”

"Get me back and find someone who can call the shots, or I'll pull the trigger."

"Hehe, I thought it was a bit silly to tie up Aunt Sally with duct tape, but now I think I'm doing the right thing."

Seeing this scene, Jack relaxed, and quickly went through this guy's information in his mind, and suddenly had a solution.

He patted John and whispered in his ear, "Don't you think this guy talks too much?" Leave it to me. ”
