Loop district.

This is the heart of Chicago, a bustling office and business district.

There are many skyscrapers in the city.

Clean streets, endless streams.

On the sightseeing bus, tourists from all over the world hold up their cameras and press the shutter to keep this beautiful scenery in the lens.

"Horn."

A few shrill voices interrupted their Yaxing.

Some tourists sitting on the roof of the car grabbed the guardrail of the sightseeing bus and looked outside.

Several shiny blue duty cars roared up from behind, and the first Cadillac looked particularly domineering, driving as if it was in a no-man's land.

Vehicles on the road, including sightseeing buses, dodged in both directions.

"Boom."

Ethan stepped on the gas pedal again, and the Cadillac let out a dull growl.

He chewed the gum in his mouth and turned his head to look at the high-rise buildings next to him, such a cityscape, which he usually does not have much contact with.

On weekdays, there are more poor streets.

It has been a week since the robbery of evidence.

Recently, the South District has been calm and leisurely.

Unexpectedly, when he was enjoying his leisure life, Director Perry called him and the entire intelligence team over as soon as he made a phone call.

Although, the jurisdiction of the 21st Sub-Bureau is in the Southern District.

However, the work of BFIPU is not limited to the southern district, and if there are difficult cases, they will also be able to take action.

And now, it's time to make a move.

Turning a few street corners, sirens faintly sounded in front of them, Ethan looked in the rearview mirror, and two fire trucks followed behind them, walking towards the target together.

Hit the accelerator again, and soon saw the crowd running in terror in front of me.

Patrol cars surrounded the office buildings in front.

More than a dozen patrol officers were maintaining order, and when they saw the motorcade flashing blue light coming, someone immediately waved their hands and gave them a place to stop.

Get close to the street and park your vehicle.

Opening the car door and stepping out of the car, Ethan raised his head, and next to it, there was a building that was more than 100 meters high.

Of course, compared to the Trump Building in the distance, it is just pediatrics.

"What happened?"

Antonio, who was in the back, closed the car door and asked puzzled.

"I don't know." Ethan gestured to the crowd running out of the building, "See their expressions, no matter what it is, we'd better change into gear." ”

The people of the intelligence group got out of the car one after another, and when they saw the passers-by who looked panicked, they quickly nodded.

Ethan also walked quickly behind the Cadillac and lifted the tailgate.

The bulletproof vest was put on his body indiscriminately, and then he took out the AR15 from the gun case, and when he was tidying up the vest, a pair of big hands grabbed the Velcro and pulled it hard, helping him make his clothes fit.

"Damn it."

Antonio pinched the muscles in Ethan's arm, "You should come and play at my friend's fighting club, I swear, it's going to be fun." ”

"Please."

Ethan hung the AR15 on his body and smiled helplessly:

"Please don't say something like it's fun to play while pinching my muscles."

"Hahaha."

Seeing Antonio's unusually embarrassed appearance, Erin laughed and walked over with a shotgun on her back:

"It's okay, talk a little more, I like to listen."

But when she saw the muscular lines of Ethan's arms, she was also full of brilliance.

"Just kidding." Ethan punched Antonio's shoulder: "Don't take it to heart, I won't go, I'm afraid of killing people with one punch." ”

Antonio dodged nimbly, smiling and shaking his head.

Several other people also came over one after another.

All blue jeans, short sleeves, black bulletproof vest, with a long gun hanging on his body and a short gun stuck in his waist, exuding a fierce atmosphere.

The temperament of Rusek and Atwater is also getting closer and closer to others.

Olinsky chewed on the candy, looking nonchalant.

Horstead stood in solemn order.

After making eye contact with the six of them, Ethan smiled and waved:

"BFI, forward!"

The group followed behind him and walked towards the tall building next to him with a rainbow of momentum.

Walking into the front door of this office building, under the guidance of the patrol police, they moved up the electric escalator, and from time to time they encountered some brightly dressed white-collar workers, who hurriedly left the building in the opposite direction.

This battle should not be a trivial matter.

The expressions of the members of the intelligence group became solemn, and Olinsky chewed the twisted candy into his mouth two or three times.

Coming to the lobby above, in the corner of the room, a large group of Chicago police officers stood together, mostly in police uniforms, a few in plain clothes.

Inside the crowd, there were also several members of the violent crime group.

"Are the members of the Intelligence Group here?"

A few people came out of the corner hula-la-la, the big bald head on the head was unusually conspicuous, Perry's face was solemn, and his head was black and shiny.

He was followed by Hank, as well as two men in security uniforms.

"Here."

Ethan raised his hand, and he led the crowd to walk over under the gaze of the twenty or thirty people on the scene.

"Good."

Perry nodded, then looked at Hank, "You can explain the situation." ”

"No problem." Hank glanced around the people in the intelligence team, and sighed in his heart, he stretched out his hand and pointed, "You, come here." ”

A police officer of the violent crime team suddenly became agitated.

The officer hurriedly stepped forward and obediently turned around under Hank's command.

"Listen." Hank unfolded a blueprint and patted the officer on the back: "There was a hostage takeover here, and now 13 hostages are trapped in the elevator. ”

His finger slid and pointed to a location on the drawing:

"The elevator's load-bearing steel cable, there were three in all, and now one of them has been blown off, and it is hovering a little further down the thirtieth floor."

"The man who planted the bomb contacted us and extorted three million dollars."

"The people in the building are being evacuated, and now all the elevators have stopped working."

Hearing the general situation, Ethan frowned.

For no other reason, I just don't like to deal with bomb players anyway, and the danger level is too high.

"What about the bomb disposal specialists?"

Ethan raised his hand and asked, "How much time do bombers give us?" ”

"The bomb disposal team is coming." Hank glanced at his watch, frowned, and said, "He gave us an hour to raise money, and when the time is over, he needs to see the cash, and now there is half an hour left." ”

Damn, Ethan scolded secretly.

What did you do in the previous half hour?

Everyone present raised their hands in unison, remembering the current time.

"I need someone to go up and check on the situation."

Hank looked at Ethan and said in a deep voice: "We need to know how many bombs have been installed on the elevator, and the yield, so that the bomb disposal experts can deal with them as soon as they arrive." ”

"For the same reason, I don't know if there are other bombs installed in the building."

"Everyone needs to move and evacuate the crowd in the office building as soon as possible."

No matter how much is investigated afterwards, the most important thing now is to resolve the crisis first.

If there really is a big explosion in a place like this, everyone will be in trouble.

"Why don't you ring the clock?" Ethan clicked on the red fire bell next to him: "Isn't this faster?" ”

"Nope." Perry on the side shook his head and said:

"In order to avoid panic among the people inside the elevator, now only tell them that the elevator is faulty."

At this time, it can only be done.

Perry called himself all the way over, not to watch the show.

Turning around, several members of the intelligence team all had resolute eyes in their eyes.

It doesn't take so many people to find out the situation.

However, it is also possible for the bomber to stay on it, so be careful, Ethan said casually: "Erin, Rusek, you two and I go up, and the others stay here to cooperate with the deputy director's work." ”

Leave a few people behind and make it easier for Hank to use.

"Got it."

The person who was named hurriedly stood up.

"Huh."

A small waist bag, which was thrown by the building's security personnel: "There is the key to the elevator shaft inside, and some gadgets in case you can use it." ”

"By the way, the closest access platform to the elevator is on the thirty-second floor."

The situation is urgent, and there is no time to talk nonsense now.

Taking the fanny pack and fastening it to his body, he nodded to Hank, and Ethan took Erin and Rusec and ran quickly towards the fire staircase. (End of chapter)
