Chapter 489: Ram's Successors

On the other end of the phone to Roan, it was someone from the LAFD (Los Angeles Fire Department).

So many people died in today's bank robbery + poison gas case, coupled with the publicity of major media, so that the whole of Los Angeles knew about it.

Within the law enforcement agencies, it soon became known that the special investigation team of the FBI Los Angeles branch was in charge of the case, so they immediately called Luo An after discovering the clues.

"Thanks, I'll be right over."

After getting the specific address of the vehicle abandoned by the robbers, Luo An simply thanked him and hung up the phone.

Tossing the phone to Lacey, Roan glanced at the unconscious Winslow and Chenelle in the hospital room, then quickly turned and left the hospital building.

As soon as he walked to the hospital parking lot, Luo An suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said:

"By the way, Michelle, you go to the federal CDC and the test results come out, call me immediately."

Botulinum toxin is a special pathogen that grows in the soil and has anaerobic properties, which means that oxygen kills it.

But this kind of thing is not something that can be made casually, especially a whole bottle of poison gas, which means that the person who made it has quite complete experimental equipment.

When the staff of the Federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention arrived at the scene, Luo An had asked them to hurry up and collect the pathogens left at the scene, go back for laboratory tests, analyze the genome of botulinum toxin in the air, and determine where the bottle of poison gas came from.

"OK, I'll go to the lab."

Michelle nodded heavily and turned and walked quickly in the other direction.

Mona and Lacey got into the SUV, and Roan stepped on the gas pedal and drove towards the location that LAFD had said.

While waiting for a traffic light at an intersection, Luo An suddenly tilted his head and asked:

"Mona, how is the bank's monitoring?"

"Very bad."

Mona frowned when she heard this, and without opening the laptop, she directly spread her hands and said:

"The surveillance video of the bank is all stored on a disk in the back of the computer.

The staff in the monitoring room said that the robbers entered the monitoring room as soon as they broke into the bank and pulled out all the disks.

One of the robbers first threw the disks into a box filled with water and soaked them for a while, then put them in the microwave oven in the rest area, and when the microwave oven was activated, the disks exploded along with the microwave oven, completely damaged beyond repair. ”

"We met a very well-trained bunch this time."

After Mona finished speaking, Lacey in the back seat of the car sighed, and then counted the robbers' actions with her fingers:

"The robbers, a total of six people, entered the bank and first pulled out a "temporarily closed" sign and hung it at the door to prevent anyone from entering.

The three of them took control of the scene, drove the hostages together, prevented someone from pressing the alarm, and then took away their mobile phones and disks in the monitoring room, and threw them all into boxes to soak in water.

The other three hijacked the manager and walked to the big iron door, waited for the time lock to open, and asked the manager to open the big iron door with the password and fingerprints, and then entered the security vault and the vault to withdraw money and open the box.

In less than ten minutes, several people finished their actions, took out the bleach liquid prepared in advance, and sprinkled it everywhere, erasing their fingerprints or other traces that they might have left, and finally several people quickly exited the bank and drove away before the police noticed the abnormality. ”

"It's really a group of talents."

Luo An's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a few seconds, and he asked:

"Lacey, the hostages at the scene, do you see the characteristics of the robbers?

Like tattoos, or scars and stuff like that. ”

"No, no clue."

Lacey shook her head and explained:

The robbers were all dressed in black clothes, black pants and black gloves, and there were several loops of tape wrapped around their wrists to prevent the gloves from falling.

On their heads, they all wore playing card masks that only had eyes that leaked through their eyes and covered their necks.

The hostages couldn't see the specific faces of the robbers, and the only thing they could be sure of was that from the position of their eyes, the robbers were all white. ”

After listening to Lacey's words, Mona's eyebrows tightened:

"So, we didn't actually get any useful clues about this gang of robbers?"

"No, there are still some."

Luo An smiled and said:

"At least we know that there were six robbers, and the weapons they were holding were all AR-15 automatic rifles.

Also, Lacey, what are the patterns on the masks of the six playing cards? ”

Lacey thought for a moment and replied:

"A big king, a small king, a red A, a red 3, a black 4 and a black 8.

The first three people went in to grab the money, and the three people in the back were in charge of controlling the field. ”

"Clear division of labor, tacit cooperation, quick action, and careful planning."

Luo An twisted the steering wheel, drove the SUV into another street, and said with a smile:

Another group of inheritors of "Ram technology". ”

Mona and Lacey were speechless, they knew who "Ram" was in Roan's mouth.

The SUV quickly arrived at the address LAFD had said, which was a small parking lot, not too far from the scene of the bank robbery.

When the three arrived, several Los Angeles firefighters were holding two large water pipes and spraying out a burning van.

"Hello, Roanne Greenwood."

Ten meters away from the fire extinguishing scene, Luo An took out the FBI's golden badge, briefly introduced his identity, and asked:

"What's going on?"

"A passer-by called the police."

An LAPD sheriff reached out and shook hands with Roan, then pointed to the white young man who was communicating with Lacey not far away, holding a bicycle and having a lot of freckles on his face, and said:

"He was waiting for his girlfriend in this area just now, and when he saw the car on fire, he called the police.

We came here to take a look and found that the car turned out to be the car abandoned by the bank robbers. ”

"OK, hard work."

Luo An briefly exchanged a few words with the sheriff, and seeing that it would take a little time to extinguish the fire not far away, he turned around and walked to the young man on a bicycle.

"Hello."

"Okay, just call me Alan, you're the head of the FBI Greenwood, right, you're so handsome!"

The boy named Allen looked like he was still underage, and while shaking hands with Luo An, the words continued, and his face was full of excitement, and he said:

"That burning car is the one driven by the bank robbers, right?

That's cool! I really didn't expect this kind of movie story to happen in front of my eyes!

Oh, I'm sorry Team Greenwood, but I didn't mean the robbers were awesome, I meant ...... Forehead ......"

"OK, I know what you're trying to say."

Luo An smiled, he could understand the thoughts of the young boy in front of him, he didn't say anything critical, and asked directly:

"Do you see anything else besides the car on fire?"

Allen shrugged his shoulders and said that when he arrived on his bicycle, he saw only a black eight-seater MPV, or a station wagon, speeding past the front of the burning van.

What was supposed to be a lighter was thrown out of the rear window of the black MPV, and the van burst into flames.

Luo An and Lacey glanced at each other and guessed the situation.

Before Alan arrived, the gang of robbers had already taken the money and guns, and moved from the van they were driving to a black MPV they had prepared here.

Considering that there was a strong smell of burning gasoline in the van that was extinguishing the flames, Luo An guessed that the bank robbers had probably sprinkled gasoline in the van before getting out of the car.

Allen should be right about the lighter, which is the scene where the robber ignites the gasoline with the lighter, causing the car to burn.

Luo An thought for a moment and continued to ask:

"Alan, did you see the license plate number of that black MPV?"

"No, it was too far away, and I didn't pay much attention to it, so I didn't see it clearly."

Alan shook his head, Luo An's expression remained unchanged, Lacey frowned when she heard this, and just as she was about to say something, Alan continued:

"But before the black MPV left the parking lot, there was a LAPD police car driving out of the parking lot, and the difference between the time was less than a minute.

I felt that the police in that police car should have seen the gang of robbers. ”

β€œWhat? Squad car?! ”
