Chapter 123 Stalking the Robbers
"Alright, there's no one else here, let's see what's going on."
Jack urged, and at this time, even John on the side saw that something was wrong with the person in front of him, how could there be such a cowardly bank robber in the dignified Los Santo.
"They took my wife and daughter and asked me to take out 25W, I can't help it, I beg you, let me go with the money, my daughter is only 8 years old!"
Cooper wept bitterly, clutching the canvas bag on his chest as if it were his only hope.
John hurriedly reassured him, "Don't worry, relax, who kidnapped your family, where are they, we will find a way to rescue them." ”
Cooper shook his head, simply dropped the gun, and crouched down with his face covered.
"I didn't know, three people broke into our house at gunpoint early this morning, kidnapped our whole family, and forced us to hand over at least 25W of Dao Le."
"But I have recently failed to invest, and I barely rely on my and my wife's credit cards for daily life, and I can't get so much cash at all, so they took my wife and daughter and asked me to take out so much money before the evening, otherwise I would kill them."
Jack pointed out the door, "Is that the kidnapper in that car outside?" Your wife and daughter are in there too? ”
"There were two people in the car, but my wife and daughter were not on it, and there was another person who took them and I don't know where they went."
It's a bit of a hassle, Jack and John look at each other, and they both think this matter is a bit tricky.
John stepped forward to hand-cuff Cooper first, and Jack picked up the revolver on the ground, opened the nest and looked at it, there was not a single bullet in it, and most of the man's words were believed.
"What can you do?" Jack's ideas are now recognized, and John doesn't bother to bother with brain cells, so he directly asks him to figure out a way.
Jack pondered for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: "Do you think that if the kidnappers see that Cooper is dead, they will notify their companions on the other side to kill them directly, or will they go back and discuss it first and then think of other ways?" ”
John hesitated, a little uncertain, and said, "Since they will choose to force Cooper to come out and rob the bank, it shouldn't be so easy to give up, right?" ”
Jack smiled and said to the somewhat confused Cooper: "Then you need to cooperate, and we will 'kill' you." ”
Anyway, it's not against the Saint Seiya, and I'm not afraid to use the same trick a second time.
Jack picked up the walkie-talkie, contacted Superintendent Gray directly, explained the situation at the scene, and then presented his plan.
Not long after, there was a burst of gunfire in the bank, a large group of police officers rushed in, and then an ambulance arrived, and a body was put into a body bag and carried out on a stretcher.
The whole process didn't last long, and soon the LAPD was evacuated one after another, and there were fewer and fewer patrols guarding the scene, and no one seemed to be suspicious of the van parked on the side of the road.
It wasn't until the door of the bank was cordoned off, and only one police officer was left sitting on the steps eating doughnuts at the scene, that there was finally movement in the car, someone got into the cab from the rear compartment, and opened the window glass to look back and forth, before slowly starting and driving away from the scene.
"You don't need to get too close, Gray has arranged for 5 cars to relay and follow, these two bastards can't run away."
Nila, who was in the passenger seat, instructed everyone in the squad channel.
Jack's current partner is temporarily replaced by Nila, because Lucy wants to pick up Cooper, who is pretending to be a corpse, from the ambulance halfway and escort him back to the police station first, anyway, it is definitely illegal to rob a bank, but given that there is a reason for the incident and there are no serious consequences, there is a high probability that the local prosecutor will not file a lawsuit.
The police car is not easy to track, Hannah drives the firebird to the scene and hands it to Jack, and there are 4 civilian vehicles of different models piloted by other police officers, and a police helicopter is on standby in the air just in case.
The police helicopter was far away to avoid detection, but there were more than a dozen police cars following from 2 kilometers away, ready to support at any time.
Jack's firebird is still more conspicuous, so it has been far behind, and in the front is the hard-working Tim driving his Dodge pickup, and after accompanying Angela to visit the bridal shop, he was urgently canceled from vacation and temporarily called back to help.
"Jack, let's swap places, it seems that the other party is going to get on the highway, and when we get off the highway, we will change to John."
Hearing Tim's command on the intercom, Jack stepped on the accelerator lightly and overtook the Dodge pickup and became the first car to follow the van.
After less than ten minutes on the highway, the kidnapper's car got off the highway, and John and Jack switched places.
Not long after getting off the highway, suddenly John asked a little nervously: "Hey, guys, they slowed down, maybe about to turn around They hit the turn signal, and they were about to turn right, at the intersection of Oakmont Street and Arbor Street." ”
Tim hurriedly ordered: "Keep the speed and drive over, turning right on Oakmont Street is a dead end, you will be found, and the others get off and walk nearby." ”
Jack, who was following John, pulled directly to the right, and Nila followed him with a rifle in hand, and the two of them turned around the corner and walked a few steps before they saw the van parked in front of a gray house.
"Hey, guys, how's it going, do you see them?" John panted and followed them.
"I'm already in the house." Nila pointed to the house and picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Command center, help check the information of the owner of this car."
As she spoke, she reported the license plate of another brand-new Cadillac XT5 parked in front of the gray house.
"The vehicle was registered in the name of Charles Linside Snelling, who had a restraining order against him and a record of armed robbery."
"That's right." Jack looked back, and the reinforcements had arrived.
Tim, as the highest-ranking police officer present, naturally took over the command.
"Tavol, Harper, and Nolan, the three of you go around to the backyard and see if you can sneak into the house without alerting each other, beware of women and children holding them hostage."
Jack nodded, pulled out Glock, checked the firearm, and led the way, followed by John with a shotgun and Nila with an AR15 rifle.
Arriving in the backyard full of clutter, Jack reached out and twisted the handle of the wooden door, which opened silently.
The three of them rushed in, and the sound of several men arguing loudly came from inside the house, and Jack leaned against the hallway, listening intently, but in fact, he was fully sceptical.
There were only three men's voices in the direction of the living room, and in a room at the end of the corridor, there were faint sounds of children crying and mothers comforting voices, Jack secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the gangsters and hostages were currently separated, and this matter was simple.
He raised three fingers to the two behind him, pointing in the direction of the living room on his left, and two more fingers to the room at the end of the hallway, John and Nila nodded in understanding.
