Chapter 279 LAPD Director and FBI Team Leader

Mona handed the laptop to Luo An, which contained several surveillance videos.

The content of the video was captured by surveillance cameras on several streets as the group drove to the bank in a car.

 The people in the car were wearing black hoods from beginning to end, so the faces of the group could not be seen clearly.

However, Mona followed the surveillance video that first appeared in the motorcade and searched back, and successfully found the silver-gray sports car and these off-road vehicles last night in a peripheral surveillance area outside the villa area in northeast Los Angeles. The scene that appears.

Not only that, when the sports car was attacked last night, several black cars of the same model as those driven by the second wave of people also drove out of the villa area.

Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly after watching the surveillance. He guessed right. The robber in the bank was the culprit who caused his Porsche to turn into a fireball.

The second wave of people who appeared last night were also from this group of robbers. Their purpose was to protect the robber leader, who was most likely the guy named Jack.

 At this time, there is only one other question left, and that is what happened to the group of mercenaries chasing Jack.

However, Luo An turned around and forgot about this matter. After catching this group of robbers, the reasons behind it will naturally surface.

 “Thank you for your hard work, Mona.”

Roan walked quickly towards where the LAPD director and team leader Potente Byrne were. Mona and Lacey knew that there was no need to enter that circle, so they stayed where they were, preparing to wait for people from the bank to arrive.

 LAPD Director and FBI Team Director Potente Byrne are currently the highest-ranking people on the scene, so they naturally became the decision-makers in this case.

 After listening to Detective Albert's account, the two of them had extremely solemn expressions.

 For high-level officials, having bombs in the hands of robbers is not a big problem, but having hostages in their hands is a problem, but there are ways to solve it.

 But the group of robbers in front of them not only had both, but also tied bombs to the hostages, which was really a headache.

Especially at this time, there were a lot of reporters outside the scene who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

Given the desperate nature of this group of guys to make headlines, the LAPD chief and team leader Potente Byrne are sure that there are definitely a few guys in this group of reporters who are eager for their operation to fail and the hostages to suffer casualties. It is best for the robbers to come back. Escape from them.

Seeing the chief's brows frowning slightly, a superintendent above Detective Albert asked tentatively:

“Sir, why don’t you try a direct attack?

If we act fast enough, we should be able to save a group of hostages before the other party reacts. "

You must not wait around at the scene. Before someone from the FBI comes, someone from the LAPD must make suggestions.

 Suggestions may not be useful, but they must be mentioned. This is an attitude.

"no!"

The LAPD director immediately frowned when he heard this proposal and vetoed it solemnly:

“Our LAPD’s image must be maintained, and neither the police force nor the hostages may suffer too many casualties.”

　　If he sacrificed his life to win this bank robbery, then his job as director would be over.

“Director, we can satisfy the bank robbers’ conditions first, wait until they release the hostages, and then send elites to pursue them...”

 After the chief rejected the first proposal, another LAPD superintendent next to him immediately proposed another idea.

　　　…”

  The LAPD chief did not speak.

This idea seems to be the safest method on the surface, but doing so is equivalent to handing over the initiative to the group of robbers.

 out out out out to

 Luo An had already walked here with his laptop and took the initiative to say:

“Sir, I have found some clues related to this group of robbers.”

The LAPD director was slightly startled when he saw Luo An's face. He turned to look at team leader Potente Byrne and asked:

“Who is this?” He had met several investigation team leaders from the FBI’s Los Angeles branch, but this was the first time he met Luo An.

“This is the newly transferred deputy leader of the Special Investigation Team from our FBI Los Angeles Division, Roan Greenwood.”

Team leader Potente Byrne answered the LAPD director’s question and asked with a serious face:

 “Luo An, what clues did you find?”

 Hearing Potente Byrne's words, the expression on the LAPD chief's face remained unchanged, but the look in his eyes was a bit surprised.

 It is rare to see such a young deputy leader of an investigation team.

I wonder if this handsome young man rose to power based on his strength or something else?

 Feeling Potente Byrne's serious gaze and the somewhat questioning look from the LAPD director, Luo An looked calm, showed the laptop in his arms to the other party, and narrated in an orderly manner:

“This is the surveillance video of the route that this group of robbers took to this bank...”

Luo An briefly described the contents of the surveillance video, last night's street fight in Los Angeles, how he and Mona captured an enemy when they went out, and the identity of the hacker.

After finishing the information quickly, Luo An paused for a few seconds and expressed his previous guess with a serious face:

“I suspect that the target of this group of robbers is not the gold or banknotes in the bank vault at all, but the servers in this bank!”

This conclusion was not just spoken by Luo An. He had real evidence in his hand and showed it to the two superiors as he spoke. It seemed very reasonable and convincing.

“It turns out that the big fight last night was actually related to the current bank robbery!”

Detective Albert, who also participated in the siege last night, was secretly speechless. The LAPD superintendents were even more excited. They were thankful that the chief had not issued an order just now.

From Luo An's account, the group of robbers in the bank who were able to fight with mercenaries were obviously not ordinary people. If they really didn't know anything and just fought hard, they might cause many casualties.

The LAPD director glanced at Luo An, his expression unchanged, but he nodded secretly in his heart.

Luo An is in a high position at such a young age, so he really has two skills.

Potente-Born, the team leader, noticed another problem, frowned, and asked:

 “What’s going on with that group of mercenaries?”

 “Sorry, sir, I don’t know either.”

 Luo An closed the computer and shook his head, then turned his eyes to Morton York, the leader of Investigation Team 4, and said:

"The people responsible for last night's street fight in Los Angeles were Investigation Team 4. They may know what happened."

Upon hearing this, team leader Potente Byrne immediately turned to look at Morton York.

Morton-York: “…”

He came here just now when Luo An was showing the clues on his computer. He was also listening when Luo An was describing the situation. Although he was a little shocked by Luo An in his heart, he found that he still underestimated the other party.

And when he heard Luo An directing the conversation to him, Morton York, who had not yet found out the specific situation of the group of mercenaries, suddenly became angry.

Looking at Luo An calmly, and after secretly writing down the account, Morton York took a deep breath and replied:

 “Sorry, sir, we are still investigating.”

 “Intensify investigation.”

Potente Byrne frowned slightly but said nothing. The top priority right now was still the bank robbery, so he paused for a few seconds, looked at Roan and Potente Byrne and asked together:

“Do you have any suggestions or ideas about this situation?”

Morton-York was silent. The current situation was a bit complicated, and he couldn't think of any good solution at the moment.

At this moment, Luo An, who was beside him, raised his lips slightly and opened his laptop again:

“Sir, please look, I have another clue here.”

Morton-York:?
