LA Detective

Chapter 487 Arrest
"Jingle Bell……"

Luke's cell phone rang. He turned it on and saw Xiao Hei's number displayed on the screen. He pressed the answer button, "Hello, I'm Luke."

"Captain, the kidnappers are calling again.

Jim and him agreed to deliver 12 million US dollars at 600 o'clock in the morning, and the transaction location was the location we had set before. "

"I see, you should also be careful, if things change, please contact me at any time."

"I will. See you tonight."

Luke hung up the phone and said to Jackson, "Go back to the police station."

Jackson glanced at Luke and asked, "Captain, what's wrong?"

"Jim and the kidnappers have negotiated the specific time and place of the transaction, and we have to go to the place of the transaction in advance for control."

The last time the ransom was delivered, the police were played around by the kidnappers and were very passive. Whether it was time or place, the kidnappers had the final say.

But this time is different, the initiative is in the hands of the police.

Want money?

Then pick it up according to the time and place agreed by the police.

……

Twelve in the morning.

Near Crete Avenue.

A black Ford sedan slowly parked on the side of the road, two black men got out of the car, looked around, then opened the trunk of the car, took out four black travel bags and put them in the trash can on the side of the road beside.

The two men then got into a black Ford sedan and left.

There is an old apartment not far away, and Luke stands on the roof of the apartment and observes everything with a telescope.

The trading location he chose was relatively close to the black community, relatively chaotic, and without monitoring, it was a 'suitable' trading location that would not arouse the suspicion of the kidnappers.

Luke deployed a large number of police officers nearby, and selected the observation location in advance. As long as the kidnappers dare to come to take the money, they can arrest them at any time.

Luke glanced at his watch and said, "Attention all teams, the money has been placed in the designated place, and the kidnappers may come at any time.

Don't act rashly without my order. "

"1 groups received."

"2 groups received."

……

Just then, a red Toyota drove up from the north side of the road, and Luke picked up the binoculars to observe.

The other police officers also raised their vigilance and looked at the red Toyota sedan in unison.

However, the car didn't stop and drove over directly.

Jackson breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little disappointed, "The kidnappers really can hold their breath when so much money is placed next to the trash can."

The deputy team stood aside and said calmly, "When a general suspect commits a crime, very few will choose a red car as a means of transportation."

Jackson asked in a low voice, "The kidnappers are so cunning, how will they take the money?"

The deputy team heard a little impatience from Jackson's tone, and said softly, "The more you have to be calm at this time. It is they who should be afraid now, not us."

Luke said, "The deputy team is right, we have done everything we can do, and leave the rest to God."

Luke has also participated in many major cases. In his opinion, human brain power is limited after all, and more often it depends on luck.

"Wow wow wow..."

There was a faint sound on the road.

It's not very loud, but it's hard not to be noticed on a still night.

Luke looked in the direction of the sound with the binoculars, and there was a man pushing a small car on the north side of the road.

This kind of trolley is specially used for pulling goods. There is an iron plate on the top and four small wheels on the bottom. It is the kind that is pushed forward from the back.

The person pushing the cart has long hair, dirty clothes, and a baseball cap without a brim. It looks like a man from the body, a male homeless man to be precise.

Under the attention of many police officers, the homeless man pushed the cart to the trash can, opened one of the black travel bags, and took a look.

Then, he quickly put the four travel bags on the cart without stopping at all, and immediately pushed the cart forward.

Jackson "..."

This... do you want to chase?Jackson turned his head to look at Luke. Although he didn't ask, his face was full of doubts.

Luke watched with a telescope, no obvious expression on his face, and no immediate order.

If the other party is driving a car, Luke may respond immediately, such as following or stopping directly.

But the current means of transportation is a scooter, even if he is allowed to run, how far can he run.

He took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Three groups, drones are investigating in the air and reporting the situation at any time."

"Three groups received."

Jackson whispered to the deputy team beside him, "Could it be that he really came to pick up the trash? He happened to see the cash."

The vice-team rubbed its chin, "I think the homeless man is more prepared, with $600 million in cash, the weight is about 150 pounds, plus the weight of four travel bags, the total is almost 160 pounds.

If there is no cart, this homeless man can't take it away at all.

And, don't you think the timing is too coincidental?As soon as Jim's men put down the money, the homeless man pushed the cart straight to the trash can.

It's past twelve o'clock in the morning. If the homeless man was so hardworking, he wouldn't be a homeless man anymore. "

After the voice of the deputy team fell, a black Dodge car drove up from the south side of the street, and a Mexican man poked his head out of the passenger cab, "fuck, that bastard ran in the opposite direction, he wants to steal our money.

This son of a bitch is doomed. "

The driver of the black Dodge is a white man. "I have already said that this guy is unreliable. His eyes light up when he sees twenty dollars, let alone six million dollars."

"Shut up, this is the order of the boss.

Let's find a tramp with a bond to find the way, that bastard's wife is in our hands, who knows if this guy wants money or not a wife.

Fuck, even dare to move our money, I must send him to see God today. "

The homeless man pushing the scooter seemed to have heard the movement behind him, and turned his head to glance at the car that was about to catch up. He hesitated, opened one of the bags, threw all the bundles of money in the bag on the ground, and pushed The cart continued to run.

"This bastard is throwing our money. He is deliberately delaying time." The Mexican man cursed, and took a large bag from the back of the car, "Stop the car, keep chasing him, and I will put the money in it." in the bag.

Be smart, Tom, he can't go fast with a cart.

If you can't catch up, shoot. "

"You idiot, don't call me by my name." The white man cursed and stopped the car.

The Mexican man hurriedly got out of the passenger cab, put the large bag on the ground, picked up wads of dollars and stuffed them into the bag.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and handed him a wad of cash.

"Thank you buddy..." The Mexican-American man was halfway through speaking, and immediately reacted, and touched the gun in his pocket with his right hand...

However, before he touched the gun, he felt a pain in his back, and a strong electric current hit his whole body, and he fell flat on the ground.

Jackson smiled, "This guy is so cute and silly."

Ahead of the road, a homeless man pushing a cart turned into an alley.

The alley is relatively narrow, with external stairs on one side and trash cans on the other side, cars cannot pass at all.

The white man named Tom got out of the car and chased into the alley on foot.

Not long after he chased into the alley, he saw a large amount of cash scattered on the ground, all stacks of $100 bills.

"fuck, I @#￥%......"

Tom cursed, hesitated for a moment, did not stop to pick up the money, but continued to chase.

The car is placed at the entrance of the alley, and when the companions catch up, they will naturally pick up the money.

He continued to follow the homeless man, and saw that the homeless man turned into an alley on the right.

Tom quickly caught up and saw a lot of money scattered on the ground, which means that the homeless man should only have a bag of money left.

Tom still didn't stop and continued to chase.

The homeless man pushed the cart, after all, he couldn't run as fast as Tom.

Tom saw the tramp again, this time he didn't hesitate and shot directly, "Bang bang!"

Two shots in a row, but unfortunately missed.

The homeless man turned again into the alley ahead.

Tom ran behind and also turned into the box on the right.

Then, as soon as he ran into the alley, he was completely dazed, and there were two men with guns standing on both sides of the alley.

The homeless man had been pinned to the ground by two men in police uniforms.

"lapd, don't move!"

"Put down the pistol and raise your hands!"

The white man hurriedly dropped his pistol and raised his hands, "Damn it, how did things turn out like this? Why are there so many lapds?" He cursed at the homeless man again, "You idiot, you messed things up smashed."

Not to be outdone, the homeless man cursed back, "You are a damn bastard, yes, you are dead this time."

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Oh, you guys sparked sparks in front of so many policemen. You really are a couple who love each other. Don't worry, when you are in prison, you will have plenty of time to communicate."

Subsequently, the three were interrogated separately.

Xiao Hei and Jackson are in charge of interrogating the homeless.

Xiao Hei has a lot of experience in disguise as a homeless man, and seeing the inexplicable intimacy with the other party, he asked, "What's your name?"

"Saence Schaefer."

He raised his handcuffed hands in protest, "Sir, you arrested the wrong person, and I was the victim. Didn't you see that he was chasing and killing me?"

Xiao Hei smiled, "At least half of the people I caught with my own hands said so.

come on, where are the hostages? "

"What hostage? I don't know what you're talking about?"

"The four black travel bags you just took away were full of cash that the kidnappers extorted from the victim's family.

I don't believe it's a coincidence that the bag with the money is in it next to the trash can and you push the cart over there and pick up all the bags.

We have every reason to think you are one of the kidnappers. "

"No!"

The tramp yelled, looking agitated, "You're mistaken, I didn't kidnap anyone at all. The reason I took the money was that I was coerced by those two bastards."

Xiao Hei asked, "How did they coerce you?"

"This afternoon, a guy who made a short video gave me twenty dollars, and I bought some food and beer, and I went on a date with my girlfriend in a tent.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, my girlfriend and I played poker in the tent. This is one of the few pastimes I have and my favorite sport.

Xiao Hei is very interested in this topic, but now is not the time to chat, so he has to interrupt the other party, "I want to listen to the main points."

"Those two jerks broke into our tent and asked about our relationship, and I said casually that my girlfriend was my wife, and the two jerks believed it, and the Mexican jerk groped my girlfriend's ass.

Then they kidnapped my girlfriend and threatened me with my girlfriend to give them the travel bag.

He also said that not only would he let go of my girlfriend, but he would also give me $[-].

Come on, I'm a bum, not a fool. The tramp sneered, and continued,
"I've seen this kind of thing on TV a lot.

I know they must be doing something illegal and want me to be a scapegoat.As long as I hand over the travel bag to them as agreed, my girlfriend and I will be silenced by them.

So I opened the bag to see what was in there, and it got even stronger when I saw it was full of cash.

I'm going to take the money and I'm going to hand it over to the police.

You have all seen what happened next, I am a good person, I have no weapons, and I have been trying to escape their pursuit.

I even thought about luring them away with money and getting my girlfriend out of the car.

By the way, those two bastards stuffed my girlfriend in the trunk of the car, you guys hurry to save her. "

Xiao Hei felt that what was said behind this guy was completely nonsense. If he could run away with the money just now, he would definitely not leave the money behind, let alone look at the so-called 'girlfriend' more.

"We're not going to ask you alone, so you better not lie."

"I swear to God, what I say is true."

……

In a Ford commercial vehicle.

Luke stared at the white man opposite and asked, "What's your name?"

"Tom Bolton."

"Where did you hide the hostages?"

Tom Bolton shook his head, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Tom, we are not arresting you alone. My colleagues are also interrogating your companions. Whoever is willing to assist the police can turn into a tainted witness and obtain a favorable plea agreement.

You should know exactly what that means.

There is only one chance. "

Luke glanced at his watch, "It's 25:[-] in the morning, how long do you think your partner will confess?

Will he be the first to identify you, or someone else?

If he reveals where the hostages are being held first, you lose leverage in the deal. "

Tom had a flustered look on his face, but he still hesitated.

Luke continued, "Tom, I know that you went to Jim to exchange gold, and I also know that you went to the cleaning company. We know your situation very well. Even if you don't admit it, we can still convict you.

If the hostage is killed, you will definitely be sentenced to death. Are you planning to live in prison for the rest of your life? "

Luke lowered his voice and reminded, "The hostage father is rich and angry.

He will definitely ask someone to take good care of you in prison..."

"Crowa community.

The hostages were hidden there. "

Seeing that the other party spoke, Luke struck while the iron was hot, "How many of you are there?"

"Four, two of them stayed as hostages."

"Tell me about them.

A man named Hugo Choudhury is our boss and the mastermind of the case. He planned the kidnapping. He is a very cruel guy.

There is also one named Sophia, who was brought here by the boss, and I don't know her very well. "

"What weapons do the two of them have?"

"Two rifles, two pistols."

"Where is the hostage hiding? Are you injured?"

"She was kept in the basement and she was not injured. We are just asking for money, not a pervert."

"How do you plan to deal with the hostages?"

"I don't know..." Tom Bolton said perfunctorily.

"Don't lie.

Tell me, what will you do with the hostages after you get the 600 million in cash? "Luke must know the movements of the other two robbers, fearing that they will harm the hostages in advance.

Tom Bolton sighed, "After getting the money, we will leave Los Angeles immediately. Once we reach a safe place, the boss said he will deal with the hostages."

"How to deal with it?"

"The boss said, he will deal with it himself...

I will never kill someone. "

Luke stared at his expression, and said solemnly, "If you killed the hostage because you lied, then you can wait to retire in prison."

"I didn't lie, what I said was true!"

Luke saw no obvious signs that he was lying. "Do you want to get a favorable plea deal?"

Tom Bolton quickly agreed, "Yes."

"Very well, then assist us in rescuing the hostages."

Subsequently, Luke, the deputy team, and Marcus compared the statements of the three suspects.

The police rescued a woman from the trunk of a black Dodge car. Her statement was also matched with the three, and it is basically certain that the three did not lie.

Next, the police began to formulate a plan to rescue the hostages.

The matter can't be delayed for too long, otherwise the other two suspects will be alerted and may run away, or even tear up their tickets.

Very tight schedule.
