LA Detective

Chapter 308 Rescue
While driving, Luke was also thinking about the arrest plan.

If Luke's guess is correct, then the two robbers may be hiding in the Maserati car, the purpose is to look for an opportunity to escape.

It is not difficult to arrest and arrest ordinary robbers, but these two robbers are different, they are likely to carry bombs.

Even Muriel Baldini was strapped with remote control bombs so they could better control Muriel Baldini.

The Maserati was not driving fast, and Luke guessed that the robbers should also be watching, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

Just in case, Luke also called for backup. He didn't transfer the people from the Second Squadron, and still let the Second Squadron guard Muriel Baldini's home.

There are two robbers. Luke is not sure if they will act separately. If the robbers act separately, one is in the car and the other is at home.

Raymond and others continued to check the monitoring, but Luke did not call, and new clues may be found in the monitoring.

Luke directly called the nearby patrol police for support, and the patrol police in Los Angeles were still very powerful.

Maserati passed a few more intersections and turned into Carlos Avenue.

This is one of the busiest commercial streets in Los Angeles.

Maserati slowed down the speed of the car. On the right hand side was a three-story building with a steel frame structure and all floor-to-ceiling windows, which was full of modernity.

Maserati turned on the right turn signal and drove into the garage on the basement level.

The Mercedes-Benz Big G followed closely behind.

At this time, the robbers should already know that the police are following them, but Luke is not worried about being discovered.

The Maserati was parked in a side parking space.

Not long after, Muriel Baldini stepped out of the cab, glanced back at the car, and then walked quickly towards the elevator.

Luke parked the car in a nearby parking space and kept watching the Maserati and Muriel Baldini.

Maserati still didn't respond until Muriel Baldini got on the elevator.

At this moment, Jenny couldn't help feeling suspicious, "Captain, did we guess wrong?

Muriel Baldini has already boarded the elevator, why is the robber still silent?
Even if Muriel Baldini had a bomb on her body, wouldn't they be worried that Muriel Baldini would call the police? "

Xiao Hei suggested, "Should we go and see next to Maserati.

It was all our guesses before. Whether the guess was wrong, the robbers did not kidnap Muriel Baldini. "

Luke didn't answer. If the robbers didn't kidnap Muriel Baldini, then naturally there is no need to worry.

Assuming that the robbers did kidnap Muriel Baldini, then think about it differently, what would you do if you were a robber?
This office building is different from domestic office buildings, which have dozens of floors, and the remote control may exceed the effective range.

But this office building only has three floors, and the area is not very large. As long as Muriel Baldini does not leave the building, no matter where it is in the building, the remote control of the bomb will be effective.

In other words, although Muriel Baldini was out of the sight of the robbers, she was not completely out of danger and was still under the control of the robbers.

Luke still felt that there was a high possibility that the robbers were hiding in the car, and the reason why they refused to come out for a long time might also be because they were worried about the police.

Luke pondered for a moment, then made up his mind, "Jenny, get out of the car with me.

Marcus, you continue to stay in the car to secretly observe the situation of Maserati and report to me in time. "

At the same time, Luke once again communicated with the supporting patrols, asking them to act in a low-key manner, break up the whole into pieces, and not disturb the robbers.

Luke and Jenny got out of the car, turned off the ignition and locked the door, and went straight to the elevator, and took the elevator upstairs.

After 2 minutes, the door on the rear right side of Maserati opened. A man in a baseball cap poked his head out and slowly got out of the car. He was carrying a black backpack behind him and waved to the car.

The door on the other side also opened, and a white man with a blue backpack got out of the car and complained, "I almost smothered me to death, these stinky policemen are as sharp as dogs' noses, they came to the door so quickly. "

The man in the baseball cap urged in a low voice, "Stop talking nonsense, let's get out of here quickly.

The police may come down at any time, and the group of FBI bastards are not fuel-efficient lamps. "

The man with the blue backpack glanced at the Mercedes-Benz, "Where did those stinky policemen get a Mercedes-Benz G500, I've always wanted to buy a car like this, is it so rich to be a policeman?
If I knew it earlier, I would have switched careers. "

"Don't be envious, the money we earned from these two tickets is enough for you to buy ten of these cars." The two chatted for a while and stopped talking, bowed their heads and walked quickly to the exit of the garage.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard faintly from around. The man in the baseball cap sensed something unusual. He scanned the surroundings but found no problem. He urged again, "Run, we will be free if we leave here."

The two robbers had seen the exit ramp and the sun was within reach.

"Da da da……"

There was another sound of footsteps around.

Several figures with guns suddenly appeared beside several parked cars, "Police, don't move."

"Put your hands where we can see them."

"Get down on the ground."

"Tell you not to move!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A gunshot rang out.

Fire is shining.

The man with the blue backpack was shot several times and fell to the ground, blood was pouring out, his right hand was already in his trouser pocket.

The man in the baseball cap yells, "Marbury, Marbury.

Damn, you killed him. "

"Shut up and be honest."

A policeman stepped forward and held down the man wearing a baseball cap, handcuffed his hands, took off his backpack, and found a pistol and a black hood from his body.

Luke walked up to the man with the blue backpack, checked his body, and found that he was no longer alive.

Luke pulled his hand out of his trouser pocket, and a small remote fell out with it.

Luke was taken aback.

Fortunately, everything was normal after a few seconds, and there was no explosion, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luke said to Xiao Hei, "Tell Jenny, the man has been caught."

"Yes, sir."

Luke walked up to the man in the baseball cap and recognized him as the mastermind of the case, Soest, "What's your name?"

Soster glanced at Luke, bowed his head and refused to answer.

"Very well, I like tough guys, we have plenty of time to chat."

Luke opened his black backpack, "There are cash, jewelry, diamonds, gold bars, and an iPhone."

"What is the password?"

"I forgot."

"When I am free, I will help you remember well and take it away."

Luke didn't interrogate the other party right away. He planned to ask Muriel Baldini to find out the situation first, and then interrogated after he had enough evidence.

……

The 3rd floor of the building, the president's office.

Muriel Baldini frowned tightly, and walked around the office looking a little restless, which was a far cry from the image of a strong woman in the past.

"Dong dong..." There was a knock on the door outside.

Muriel Baldini took a deep breath, stopped, looked towards the door, "Come in."

The door opened and Jenny walked into the office.

Muriel Baldini opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Officer Jenny, why are you here?"

"Ms. Baldini, I have come to make sure you are safe."

"I'm fine, didn't we communicate on the phone before?"

Jenny pointed to the right top, "Can you take off your coat?"

Muriel Baldini seemed to be frightened, she opened her mouth to say something, but made no sound, and stretched her arms to gesture on her chest.

Jenny comforted, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, the two robbers hiding in your car have been arrested, and you are safe now."

Muriel Baldini was stunned for a while, her eyes were red, "God bless, woo..."

Sobbing softly, she slowly took off her coat, revealing the bomb tied behind her back.

"Those two men kidnapped me, broke into my house and robbed me, and even strapped a bomb to me.

They threatened me that if I dared to call the police or have other abnormal behaviors, they would press the remote control. "Muriel Baldini pointed to the brooch on the dress,

"They also installed tiny cameras and monitors on me, and what I see and hear, they can also see and hear, and have been monitoring me.

I saw you last night, and I really wanted to ask for help, but I didn't dare to say anything, I was worried that they would find out that something was wrong...

They were terribly frightening, like two lunatics.

God, I would have thought I was going to die..."

Jenny sighed softly, "Ms. Baldini, the matter is over and you are safe now."

"Can you help me take the explosives off?
I don't want to wear this thing again, not for a minute. "

"Don't worry, the remote control is in the hands of the police, and the bomb disposal team is on their way." Jenny put away the brooch that seemed to be a miniature camera, but she didn't dare to touch the bomb.

He was just comforting Muriel Baldini on the sidelines, keeping him from getting too excited, in case he touched the bomb by mistake.

After more than ten minutes, the bomb disposal team arrived at the scene and successfully dismantled the bomb on Muriel Baldini.

Muriel Baldini completely relaxed, sitting on the ground slumped, breathing heavily.

The danger was lifted, and the police breathed a sigh of relief.

Luke also rushed over to visit. It was the first time he had dealt with Muriel Baldini and took a good look at her. She was a mature white woman with a beautiful appearance and no makeup on her face.

"Ms. Baldini, I am Luke Lee, Captain of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division. How are you feeling?"

"Apart from some hunger, thirst and exhaustion, there is nothing serious. Captain Li, thank you for saving me."

"This is our duty, I want to make a record for you."

"No problem, I also hope that those two... suspects will be punished by law as soon as possible." Muriel Baldini took a deep breath,

"Can you give me some time? I want to go to the bathroom."

"of course."

Luke watched Muriel Baldini leave.

Ten minutes later, Muriel Baldini returned to the office again, her image changed dramatically.

She changed into a long blue dress, with light makeup on her face, except for some red eye circles, she couldn't see anything unusual.

"Captain Li, sorry for keeping you waiting."

Luke secretly said that she is indeed a strong woman with good psychological quality, "Ms. Baldini, can we start taking notes?"

"can."

"Do you know these two robbers?"

"I don't know, they have been wearing hoods."

"How did you get kidnapped by them?"

"I rode my bike home after get off work yesterday and it was getting a bit late.

Suddenly a car drove up from behind, turned right sharply and pinned my car down. Fortunately, I braked in time and the fall was not too severe.

I stood up and wanted to reason, and two men got out of the car...

It made me feel that there was something wrong with the aura, and then a man took out a gun and hijacked me into the car, and another man threw my bicycle into the trunk of the car.

I was hijacked by them. "Muriel Baldini paused for a moment, resting her forehead with her hands, as if unwilling to continue recalling,

"They took me home, tied bombs to me, and asked me about my belongings... I gave them everything in the safe, but they were still not satisfied and wanted more from me.

At this time the door rang, and police officer Jenny came to investigate. They threatened me not to call the police, otherwise the bomb would be activated.

They also installed tiny cameras and bugs on me, and I had to do what they told me to do...

You all know what happened next. "

Luke asked, "Where's the car they were driving?"

"In my garage."

"What car?"

"A black SUV, I was so nervous I didn't notice the car brand."

"Did the robbers plant a bomb in your house?"

"I have no idea.

I was very nervous at the time, I didn't dare to look, I didn't dare to ask, I was worried that they would kill me. "

"You're right, it was irrational to piss off the robbers in that situation."

Muriel Baldini asked back, "Captain Li, how did you find out that the robbers were in my house?"

"We checked the community monitoring and found that the robbers drove to the community yesterday. In addition, you didn't ride a bicycle this morning, but chose to drive, which made me feel even more suspicious."

"Thank you, if it weren't for your conscientiousness, I might have..."

Luke didn't answer. In fact, even if the police were not there, the robbers were unlikely to detonate the bomb.

Of course, there is no need to say this.

Luke asked a few more words, but did not ask any more clues.

Afterwards, Luke returned to the underground garage to check, and the forensic and technical teams had arrived at the scene.

Up to now, three of the five suspects who robbed the North Hollywood bank were arrested and two were shot dead. The case has entered the trial stage.

The current interrogation focuses on Soest, who, according to Andreas Downs and Jeron Gaddafi, is the mastermind of the North Hollywood bank robbery.

Jeran Gaddafi is also likely responsible for the planting of the bomb that killed and injured FBI agents in his home.

Also, because the bank robbery didn't go as planned, Souther and Mabry Carr kidnapped Muriel Baldini.

All that needs to be done now is to collect all the clues and evidence to make Soest confess his crime.

Soest's crime is serious enough to be sentenced to death. It is not easy for him to plead guilty. Luke must be fully prepared.

……

The First Interrogation Room of the Robbery and Murder Division.

Luke and Jackson are tasked with interrogating Soest.

On the opposite side of the interrogation table, Soest had already put on handcuffs and shackles.

The police will be as careful as possible for such ruthless people who are suspected of killing FBI agents.

Luke opened the file, staring at the slightly Mediterranean white man, "What's your name?"

"I forgot."

"Normal people don't forget their names."

"You're right, I'm not normal, I suspect something is wrong with my head."

Luke smiled, "Don't worry, you're just bald, you can't die.

I always thought you were wearing a baseball cap for concealment, but now I know there is another purpose. "

Jackson also smiled, "Your choice is right, it's better to wear a baseball cap, at least it doesn't look so hot on the eyes."

Soest said coldly, "It's a pleasure chatting with you."

Luke glanced at the information in his hand, "Sost Victor, born in Alaska, 38 years old this year, served in the Sixth Fleet of the United States and participated in the Libyan War.

Retired in 2013.

Later, he was imprisoned for robbery and intentional injury.

Anything else to add? "

"No, you may be the person who knows me best in the world. I'm a little flattered to be noticed and understood suddenly."

"You are really pathetic."

"You're right, I don't have much expectation for this world anymore."

"Then be happy and admit your crime honestly."

"OK, let's hear it."

"At 5:09 on October 30th, you and your accomplices robbed the Bank of North Hollywood, robbed the vault of 245 million dollars and the property in 76 lockers, and then instructed your accomplice Marbury Carr to blow up the sewer , the five of you escaped from the sewer.

You are worried that your accomplice Jayran Gaddafi's behavior in the bank will be exposed, so you let Jayran Gaddafi live in another accomplice's house, and at the same time plant a bomb in Jayran Gaddafi's house, leading to the investigation by the FBI The detective was killed and wounded more than once.

Later, because the bank robbery did not meet your expectations, you and Marbury Karl kidnapped No. 1 and robbed a lot of property from her home. Do I need to continue? "

Soest Victor shrugged, "I don't have any impression of what you said."

"Souster, be smart. We have evidence and physical evidence, and it's useless for you to argue."

"Then see you in court, I have nothing to say."

"Sorst, things are not as simple as you think. This case was jointly investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI, with the police as the main and the FBI as the assistant.

But if you plead not guilty, the FBI also has the right to interrogate you.

You should know what I mean. "Although the moves are old-fashioned, Luke doesn't have many choices when facing a felon.

The corner of Soest Victor's mouth twitched, "You're threatening me."

"No, on the contrary, I'm helping you."

"Shit, I don't need a cop's help."

"boom!"

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, "Luke, why don't you talk to this bastard, just hand him over to me.

I guarantee he can even tell the color of his mother's panties. "

Luke stood up, a little dissatisfied, "Anthony, you should be in the observation room, not here."

"Hey, I'm helping you. Look at this bastard's behavior. He doesn't like you at all."

"This is the Los Angeles Police Department. I don't need you, the FBI, to teach me how to handle cases."

"This guy killed an FBI agent, and several of my subordinates are still lying in the hospital. Don't I even have the right to participate in the interrogation?" Anthony asked loudly.

"Of course you have, but not now."

Anthony glared at Luke.

The latter is not to be outdone.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Anthony showed a sneer, looked at Luke, then at Soster Victor, "OK, I'll wait for you, I have plenty of time.

I will definitely take him away. "

"That's for later." Luke waved his hand, "Jackson, ask Agent Anthony to go out."

Jackson made a gesture of invitation, "Agent Anthony, please."

Anthony pointed to Soest Victor with his right hand, "Hey, we will meet again."

Anthony strode out of the interrogation room, and Jackson followed suit.

"boom!"

After closing the door of the interrogation room, Anthony smiled, "Hey, how am I doing?"

Jackson gave a thumbs up, "You can consider going to Hollywood to develop."
