Chapter 33: 1.5 hours by car
Hearing Lacey let herself move her legs, Luo An blinked, moved her legs, and stepped on the accelerator to the end.
When he was about to reach the intersection, Luo An slammed the steering wheel, a puff of scorched black smoke rose from the ground, accompanied by Darren's screams, the pitch-black SUV bypassed the waiting cars at the intersection in a strange arc, drove into the center of the intersection, and rushed out to the left.
Lacey Silver Fang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, clenched and didn't scream, but was driven by the centrifugal force of the car's drift and sat on Luo An's right leg.
Then Lacey was horrified to find that not only did Roan not release his feet off the accelerator, but also only used his left hand to hold the steering wheel, and spread out the map of New York with his right hand, carefully looking for the route forward!
"Roan, you ......"
Without waiting for Lacey's words to speak, Roan finally looked at the map and found the best route, threw Lacey back to the co-pilot, held the steering wheel with both hands, and shouted:
"Attention two passengers, I'm about to start accelerating!"
“W T F?!”
"Shit! Isn't this already the fastest speed? ”
Darren shouted with a dry throat and difficulty breathing, Lacey's face was pale, and Luo An glanced down at the pointer of the speedometer, since it was not at the end yet, it was not the fastest speed.
No longer hesitating, Luo An shifted gears with his right hand and stepped his foot into the fuel tank at the same time, and in the roar of the engine restlessly, the SUV rushed out in place like an arrow from the string, heading straight into the distant future.
At the same time, Agent Jock sat in the car with the steering wheel in his hand, looking at the dark rut marks on the ground, and then at the congested intersection in front of him, his expression was dull and a little suspicious.
Suddenly, Jock's cell phone rang, and after pressing the answer button, an eager female voice came from the opposite side:
"Agent Jock, is the license plate number of the detective's car you mentioned ***?"
"That's right."
Jock nodded, and he remembered who the other party was, the well-known field correspondent of the New York News, Lynette.
Lynette is one of the high-ranking journalists with whom Matthews contacted.
Hearing Jock's affirmative reply, Lynette hung up the phone without saying a word, lowered her head and wrote in a small notebook 'FBI agents are blatantly speeding, disregarding the safety of others', patted the photographer in charge of driving, and pointed to the SUV in front of her right hand like black lightning:
"Keep up with that car! Tonight's prize money is all up to him! ”
“OK!”
Hearing the word bonus, the photographer screamed and immediately stepped on the accelerator and chased towards the SUV.
After a traffic light, they didn't even see the butt of the SUV.
Linette: "......"
Photographer: "......"
Forty minutes later.
On a side road in Bear Mountain State Park north of the Hudson River, Lacey bent over on her knees and vomited, and Darren was already lying unconscious in the back seat of the car.
Luo An lifted his wrist, looked at the time on his watch, and shook his head disdainfully:
"Augustus said it takes 1.5 hours to get here from New York, so how can it take that long?"
“.....”
Hearing Luo An's words, Lacey, who had recovered a little, was full of black lines, and she couldn't bear to take out a pistol to give it to him, wiped her mouth and took a deep breath before asking:
"I'll never ride in your car again in my life...... What's next? ”
Luo An tilted his head and glanced at the forest hut not very far from here, took out the Glock 18 and opened the insurance, which means in short:
"Sneak over and see if the killer is here."
“OK。”
Lacey nodded, pulled out her pistol and followed Roan's footsteps, not forgetting to close the door of the SUV before leaving here, but at the same time leaving a gap in the rear window of the SUV.
I'm afraid that Darren will suffocate in the car.
The forest cottage in Darren's mouth is actually a small wooden two-story villa, which looks a little old on the outside, but the courtyard covers a very large area, and there is a small swimming pool filled with water in the southwest corner of the courtyard.
Luo An briefly glanced for a week and didn't find the camera, gestured to Lacey, and the two quietly climbed into the courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, a taxi that can be seen everywhere on New York Street is parked in the garage of the villa, the taxi door is not closed, and a red lady's handbag is crooked in the back seat of the car.
"It's Sabina's bag."
When looking through Sabina's information, Mona had pulled her to discuss the style of the bag for a long time, and Lacey was very impressed by this.
Luo Ann whispered to Lacey:
"Looks like we're not in the wrong place, the killer should be here."
Lacey was a little excited, she didn't expect them to find the murderer so quickly, and she was about to walk down the garage into the villa when Luo An suddenly reached out and stopped her.
“?”
Lacey was puzzled, Roan's nose moved, and he stood in place and looked at the taxi carefully, and found that the taxi's fuel tank cap had disappeared.
Following Luo An's guidance, Lacey also saw the disappeared fuel tank cap, and was about to open her mouth to express her doubts, when Luo An suddenly jumped on the spot and pressed her to the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The taxi resisted these bullets for Luo An and Lacey, and before the two could speak, a few more bullets hit the garage and the door of the villa, Luo An did not hesitate, took out the shock bomb from his waist and threw it in the direction of the gunshot.
Rumble!
A dazzling light and a deafening noise sounded at the same time, and Luo An, who was ready for protection, got up the moment the sound ended, and rushed straight to the gate connecting the garage and the villa, but did not find the enemy.
“FBI!”
Without waiting for Luo An to search the room, a man's shout and a woman's struggle suddenly came from the balcony on the second floor of the villa.
"Don't even think about arresting me! Tell you! I poured gas in my bedroom and balcony! If you forcibly break into the room, I will immediately go to hell with this woman! ”
"Woo woo woo ......"
Luo An stood in the corner and looked carefully at the balcony, only to see a woman in a cut-out dress with her mouth glued to duct tape, her hands tied behind her back, and her head constantly whimpering.
A man holds a gun in his right hand against a woman's head, while he lowers his head and hides his head tightly behind the woman's back.
Luo An's face was very ugly, he couldn't find the shooting angle in this position, and he couldn't kill the other party.
Moreover, the other party said that there was gasoline on the balcony, and he did not dare to use the stun bomb for the time being, because the strong light generated by the explosion of the stun bomb had a high chance of igniting the gasoline in the room.
This villa is still wooden, and it would be troublesome if it really caught fire.
Glancing at Racy and motioning for the other party to hurry up and call for help, Luo An followed the murderer's words and chatted loudly:
"Take it easy, man! I promise you not to break into the bedroom! What do you have to ask! As long as you don't hurt the hostages, everything is easy to say!"
On the other side, Lacey hurriedly ran to the side of the villa, took out her mobile phone and called the headquarters.
"This is Augustus."
In the office area of Investigation Team Five, Augustus answered the phone and glanced down at his watch, just forty minutes after Luo An's departure.
Based on the 1.5-hour drive, they should have walked just a third of the way.
Call at this time...... Could it be that the car broke down?
