Chapter 277: The Situation at the Scene and the Demands of the Robbers
"Sure enough, it was a bank robbery."
Moments later, Roan ran wildly to the scene of the crime, only to see a large group of LAPDs around the street outside the entrance of the "Federal Bank", filled with all kinds of police vehicles of different heights and sizes.
In the distance, there stood more than two dozen reporters from various Los Angeles media, in addition to some large news corps, and many small entertainment newspapers.
"It's Hollywood."
At this time, Luo An wore a suit and walked quickly into the blockade of the LAPD with long legs, his posture was very outstanding, and the light of the fire burning in the police car not far away shone on his face, showing that he was very resolute.
"Hello, I'm Detective Albert."
At this time, several LAPDs walked out on the right, led by a middle-aged white man who looked to be in his forties, chubby, but sweaty on his forehead.
"FBI Los Angeles Division Special Investigations, Deputy Leader RoAnn Greenwood."
Taking out the golden badge from his pocket, Luo An briefly showed his identity and asked:
"What's going on at the scene?"
As a police detective who has worked in the Los Angeles Police Department for many years, Albert only knows about the numbered investigation teams within the FBI, and this is the first time he has heard of the special investigation team.
And such a young deputy leader, Albert is the first time to meet it.
However, what Luo An showed was nothing unusual, Detective Albert glanced at Luo An carefully, turned around and led him into the scene:
"A gang of criminals drove into the bank, the goal was to rob the bank, they had bombs in their hands, and they also took a group of hostages.
At present, the number of hostages is unknown, the number and identity of the criminals are unknown, and the criminals have not made any demands for the time being. ”
At the internal scene, all the LAPDs scattered, lying behind the car with guns in both hands, and pointed their guns tightly at the bank gate, everyone was sweating profusely.
The LAPD in the car that was blown over by the bomb just now has been rushed to the rescue, and no one knows if it will survive, anyway, it looks quite bad on the outside.
In addition, a group of SWAT team members with semi-automatic rifles and blast shields were pushed up a little more front, and several snipers were crouched on several high platforms opposite the bank.
After the bombing, the LAPD was shocked and responded with the most rapid response, and the speed of the police was unprecedented.
Although the number of people is large, the high-level has not yet arrived in a short period of time, and it is all under the temporary command of a slightly higher level Detective Albert.
The reason why Albert is only a police detective at such an old age is because he has an average level of ability, but he has worked for a long time, and he purely relies on his seniority.
It's not the first time Albert has been involved in a bank robbery, but he's never been in charge before, he just happened to be on duty today, and the people on the scene are currently his highest level, so he can only bite the bullet.
Now the appearance of Luo An, the FBI, made Albert breathe a big sigh of relief in his heart.
Roan didn't care about Albert's eyes, he took a small telescope from a LAPD after listening to the introduction, jumped into the police car to look inside the bank, and found that several guys with hoods were planting bombs on the hostages in the hall.
Further down the bank, there were eight robbers, only five in the hall, and three were missing.
“Fu-k!”
Seeing this, Luo An scolded in a low voice, jumped out of the police car and turned around and asked:
"What about the top of the bank? Let them get here immediately! ”
Although the bank that was robbed was called the "Federal Bank", it was not owned by the federal state, but a large bank controlled by a California consortium.
"The bank's top brass will be there soon."
Detective Albert quickly replied, and at the same time a SWAT member came over and said loudly:
"The back door of the bank is deployed! Both SWATs have sealed off the area. ”
“Good。”
Luo An beckoned for the LAPD to fetch a horn for him, and while he waited, he clasped his hands around his chest and stared at the bank not far away, frowning and pondering.
As far as Roan knows, although the bank is located in Los Angeles, its main business is not ordinary Los Angeles citizens, but the big Hollywood companies.
From the start of filming to the release of a movie, it must be inseparable from a large amount of money, and Hollywood film companies often do not bear all the funds in order to share the risk, but go out to find outsiders or peers to invest in it.
In order to prevent their funds from disappearing in an unknown situation, investors usually find a third party to supervise the spending of funds during the filming process, and this is one of the main businesses of this "federal bank".
So, there wasn't a lot of money in the vault of this bank building, and there wasn't much gold, both of which were far inferior to the JPMorgan Chase Bank on the other street, not too far from here.
From the perspective of pay and gain alone, it doesn't seem to be very cost-effective to make such a big show and spend so much effort to grab this bank.
But I think of the world-class hacker that Mona found out before......
Luo An's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had some new thoughts about the bank robbery in front of him.
LAPD quickly brought a loudspeaker to Luo An, but before Luo An could speak, two people suddenly walked out of the bank opposite:
A robber with a black hood holds a gun to a pale and trembling hostage with a bomb strapped to his body.
Unfazed by the many guns, the robber took out a mobile phone from his pocket and threw it at the nearest LAPD, and then slowly returned to the bank.
The phone was quickly delivered to Detective Albert, who subconsciously handed the phone to Roan, who waved his hand to signal the other party to connect the call.
The corners of Albert's mouth twitched slightly, and he pressed the answer button, and a magnetic and unhurried male voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Hello, introduce yourself, my name is Jack."
"Hello, Jack."
Roan was standing beside Albert and also heard the voice on the phone, Albert took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Say what you want."
"I like straightforward officers!"
Jack on the other end of the phone laughed and said:
"Within 30 minutes, the airport prepared a plane for us to leave the country, and we will go to the airport with the hostages in a small car later.
To give you a quick introduction, the hostages in the bank are now strapped to bombs, and if you don't fulfill my request within the allotted time, I will blow up a hostage every three minutes. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Albert to answer, Jack hung up the phone first.
"Son of Eat!"
Hearing the busy voice on the phone, Detective Albert scolded, how could he be a small police detective with this kind of authority.
But at this time, behind a police car ten paces away from him and Roan, the director of the LAPD police station and the head of the FBI team, Potante Byrne, all arrived at the scene.
Morton York, the leader of Investigation No. 4, also arrived here from the other direction with two agents.
Detective Albert's eyes lit up when he saw the chief arrive, and Roan and the group leader, Portant Byrne, looked at each other, and were just about to walk over with Albert when Mona and Lacey suddenly appeared together.
Among them, Mona ran to Luo An's side quickly with her laptop in her arms and whispered:
"Roan! I've found something here! ”
Roan made eye contact with the group leader, Portant-Byrne, for a second, then stopped and took the computer Mona handed him.
At times like these, clues matter!
Detective Albert quickly ran to the police chief, raised his mobile phone and introduced the case to the big guy:
"Sir, the situation is urgent, and the robbers are asking for ......"
On the other side, Morton Yorke, the leader of Investigation No. 4, frowned when he saw the three Roannes at the scene, but he didn't expect them to arrive here earlier than him.
However, it is time to understand the situation first, and as soon as Morton York raised his foot and was about to go to the position of the team leader, Roan suddenly hugged his laptop and walked there faster than him.
