Chapter 673 Rescue
9:50 p.m.
Near the Aslan Bridge.
The river under the bridge has dried up. On the west side of the river, there is an old gray tent with the tent curtain half open. There seem to be two people talking in a low voice in the tent.
Xiao Hei looked outside the tent and asked Jackson, "Do you think anyone will come?"
"Thirty thousand dollars for Henry Lawley's clue is a good deal for them. They will definitely come." Jackson said firmly.
Xiao Hei said, "I really can't understand why those two people in the hotel didn't cooperate with the police?
If they told the police what they knew, it would make things much easier.”
Jackson shrugged, "I don't know.
However, the world is inherently complex.
This case involves precisely that small group of people who are the most complicated.”
Xiao Hei nodded, "That's right, some people who think they are smart like to complicate simple things."
Jackson quipped, "Why do you feel like what you said suddenly makes sense?"
"I've always been very philosophical, but you just didn't listen carefully before, haha."
"Woooo..."
A car drove onto the Yaslan Bridge. Xiao Hei and Jackson immediately perked up and looked in the direction of the bridge.
At this time, a red car drove across the bridge quickly without stopping.
Xiao Hei complained, "It's already ten o'clock, is that guy coming yet? I don't want to stay here and feed mosquitoes any more."
Jackson sighed, "Don't mention the damn mosquitoes. I feel itchy all over now."
"Woooo..."
A black car drove onto the Yaslan Bridge at a slow speed. When it reached the middle of the bridge, the car stopped, the door opened, and a man got out of the car and threw the package he was holding off the bridge.
The man didn't stay for long and drove off the bridge in his black car.
Jackson ran out of the tent and ran in the direction of the package.
Xiao Hei quickly took out the intercom and said, "This is No. 1. A black car just drove across the Yaslan Bridge. It may be a suspect vehicle."
Luke's voice came from the intercom, "Did you get the money?"
"The people in the black car threw a package under the bridge, and No. 2 went to check it out."
“I’ll have someone keep an eye on that car.
If the money in the package is OK, proceed as planned.”
"I understand." Xiao Hei said, and walked towards the package.
Jackson checked the package, stood up, and made an OK gesture, "No problem, there are 30,000 US dollars in the bag."
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "It can be said that the mosquito bites were not in vain."
Then, the two left the river and got into a car parked on the roadside. Xiao Hei took out his cell phone and made a call, "Mrs. Lawley, I am a concerned citizen.
I'm glad you kept your promise.
I received the money and I will keep my promise.
What I saw was a black Buick SUV with the license plate number 2heb298.
I hope you can find your husband soon."
Xiao Hei finished speaking and hung up the phone, "Dude, it's time to call it a day."
……
After half an hour.
A black car was parked on the side of the road with two men sitting in the car. The man in the driver's seat lit a cigarette and smoked it by himself.
The man in the passenger seat had a laptop in front of him and was typing on the keyboard.
After a while, the man in the passenger seat's cell phone rang, "Ding-ling-ling..."
"Hello, I'm Logan.
Yes, I checked the license plate number you sent me, and it is a fake license plate car."
A woman's voice rang out from the other end of the phone, "What do you mean? Were we deceived by him?"
"not sure.
The car was a white Toyota sedan, not a black SUV.
The other party may have made up the license plate, or the robbers may have used a fake license plate."
"I see.
I didn’t have high hopes.”
Logan asked, "Did the robbers provide an address for delivering the ransom?"
"Not yet, let's continue to wait for news."
"clear."
……
An hour later, Roger's phone rang again, "Ding-ling-ling..."
"I'm Logan."
“The robbers sent an address and demanded that a $2 million ransom be placed next to a trash can on the east side of Cajun Plaza at 1 a.m.
They will release Henry for a ransom."
“Next to the trash can on the east side of Cajun Plaza?”
"Yes, are you ready?"
"Of course." Logan said and hung up the phone.
The driver asked, "Where are we going?"
“Cajun Plaza.”
Logan and his companion drove to Cajun Square. It was not yet the agreed time, so they drove around the square but found no suspicious persons.
Around one in the morning, Logan and his companion parked the car on the east side of Cajun Plaza. Logan got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out two black travel bags.
The two travel bags looked heavy and were placed by Logan next to the trash can on the east side of the square.
Logan looked around again, still seeing no one, then he turned around and got into the car.
The black sedan left Cajun Plaza.
Logan sat in the passenger seat, opened his laptop, and started operating it quickly.
The driver asked, "Did anyone take the money?"
"The target hasn't moved yet. Find a secluded place to park." Logan said, his eyes still fixed on the computer.
After about ten minutes, Logan suddenly said, "The target has moved to the southeast of Cajun Square.
Follow us, if we get too far away we will lose our target."
"Don't worry, I'm a famous driver, haha."
The black sedan started quickly and turned east at the intersection ahead.
Logan stared at the computer screen and directed the car forward, "Turn right ahead.
The speed can be slower, as it will be easy to be discovered if we are too close."
Twenty minutes later, the car drove into a community.
Logan suddenly said, "The target has stopped moving, reduce the speed."
The driver turned off the lights, slowed down, and looked ahead. It was almost two o'clock in the morning. Most of the lights in the community were off, and only one house had a light on. "I saw it, it should be that house." The driver pointed and slowly pulled over.
Logan said, “Yes, the target is right there.
Get ready to act, and end the battle before they discover the tracker."
As the driver put on his bulletproof vest, he asked, "How many people do you think they are?"
"There shouldn't be more than four. Let's rush in from the back and finish it quickly."
"clear."
Soon, the two men were fully equipped with bulletproof vests, silenced pistols, smoke bombs, grenades, and shotguns.
Logan warned, “If a silenced pistol can solve the battle, don’t use that big guy.
I don't want to bring lapd in."
The driver laughed and said, “Even if they come, I can shake them off.”
"Now is not the time for you to show off your driving skills."
"just kidding."
After the two men discussed the tactics, they crouched down and sneaked into the courtyard of a white bungalow. The windows of the bungalow were closed and the curtains were drawn, and faint light could be seen.
The two walked to the back door, which was a wooden door. Logan took out the lock picking tools and quickly opened the door.
Then Logan made a gesture, and the two of them entered the house one after the other.
The two entered the back door of the house. There was light in the living room and a faint voice was heard, "Haha, we're rich this time!
I never dreamed I would have so much money!
I'm going to sleep with this money today."
Logan quietly walked into the living room and saw two men taking money out of a travel bag.
"Puff."
He fired decisively, and the man with his back to him was shot in the head.
Another long-haired white man was also hit in the chest and cried out in pain, "Ah!"
Logan walked over, stepped on the man's shoulder, pointed a gun at him, and asked, "How many accomplices do you have?"
"two."
"Where's Henry Lawley?"
Logan was stunned for a moment, "He's in the bedroom."
"Puff!" Logan shot him again in the chest.
The two men then began to search the room. They opened the west bedroom and found Henry Lawley handcuffed to the foot of the bed.
Logan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Good evening, Mr. Governor."
Just as Logan was about to step forward, a voice suddenly came, "lapd!"
"Everyone in the room put down your weapons and don't move!"
"Fuck!" Logan cursed, reached for the rifle at his waist, and then let go.
“lapd!
Everyone listen, lay down your weapons!"
Another scolding.
Logan and his companion looked at each other, feeling somewhat helpless, and wisely put down their pistols and slowly raised their hands.
Logan shouted, "Don't shoot, we are one of them."
Several armed police officers rushed in, disarmed Logan and his companion, and searched them.
Luke walked around the two of them and went straight to the handcuffed man. "Are you Henry Lawley?"
"it's me."
"You police?"
"Robbery and Murder Division, Luke Lee."
Henry Lawley showed a grateful look, "Officer Li, thank you for saving me."
Luke uncuffed the man and asked, "Mr. Henry Lawley, how many robbers are there?"
"two."
Luke nodded and said to Jackson on the side, "Take Mr. Lawley out first."
"Okay, Captain."
After Henry Lawley left, Luke walked up to Logan and the other man and asked, "Who are you?"
"One of us." Logan showed the cuffs on his wrists, "Can you remove them?"
"I haven't heard that other departments participated in the operation."
"We are the Department of Homeland Security," Logan said.
Luke raised an eyebrow, "Do you have any ID?"
"Did not bring."
"Why not?"
“Action is urgent.”
"That's not a reason. I can only ask you to go back to the police station and explain it clearly."
Logan protested, "Hey, you can't do this, we were the first to arrive, and we rescued Mr. Henry Lawley.
Not only are you here to take credit, but you're also going to arrest us?"
These two men didn't even bring their IDs, so they couldn't prove their identities. Luke didn't bother to argue with them, so he waved his hand and said, "Take them back."
Luke walked around the house and was about to go outside to talk to Henry Lawley. When he walked to the door, his eyes fell on the door lock and he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
