Chapter 280 Nearly 10 billion US dollars and 8 million US dollars

 Behind a police car diagonally opposite the gate of the "Commonwealth Bank", Luo An was preparing to continue explaining the clues to the officers in front of him.

 But he was interrupted as soon as he spoke, because several bank executives arrived at the scene, and Lacey brought them to the leadership circle.

The bank executive headed by him was an older white man wearing a suit, slightly fat, and with a slicked back hair. He obviously knew the LAPD director and team leader Potente Byrne. He exchanged a few words and immediately asked about the situation at the scene.

After learning from the two of them that the real target of the robbers was most likely the server in the bank, the old white man hurriedly turned his attention to an executive behind him. When the executive heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his lips trembled. said:

“The server is loaded with more than a dozen fund accounts related to major Hollywood film and television company foundations!”

This group of servers in the bank is not connected to the Internet, nor is there any external network cable. Therefore, hackers can only enter the internal network by breaking into the bank and manually connecting the network cable to the server.

 After all, no matter how powerful a hacker is, he cannot break into a computer without a network cable.

The bank server is equipped with the highest level firewall on the market, and there is no shortage of encryption methods and protection methods.

 But no one knows how long these methods can withstand that world-class hacker.

Not only that, there are a lot of other accounts in the server that cannot be explained to the outside world, and the information of the owners behind them is relatively secret. The money in these accounts is far more than the funds in those foundations.

The cumulative funds in these accounts total nearly 10 billion US dollars.

Seeing the look in the eyes of the senior executive, the old white man also thought of this, his face suddenly changed and he covered his heart.

The LAPD chief and team leader Potente Byrne looked at each other with solemn expressions.

 They don’t know about the secret accounts, but they have heard about the foundations of several film and television companies. They are all large foundations with funds of over 100 million.

 “What a big appetite!”

Several superintendents, Detective Albert, Morton-York, Lacey and others were stunned. This was the first time they had encountered such a bold bank robber.

Luo An, who was holding his laptop, nodded secretly. The leader of this group of robbers was indeed a smart guy. It would be faster to steal banknotes and gold than to transfer money directly from other people's accounts!

And seeing the old white man with his mouth open and constantly hitting his chest, Luo An suspected that there might be some other shameful things in the server.

“You two, please capture this group of robbers as quickly as possible!”

The elderly white man took out a few pills from his pocket and stuffed them into his mouth. His mental state improved a little, and then he couldn't wait to say:

“Our bank is willing to donate US$8 million afterwards!”

Compared to the possible losses of nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars, 8 million U.S. dollars is really nothing.

 Whether the $8 million should be given to the LAPD or the FBI, the old white man did not say, but everyone present knew that whoever caught the robber would get the money.

  The LAPD chief and several superintendents began to breathe slightly after hearing this. Potente Byrne, the head of the FBI team, remained calm, as if he didn't care about the 8 million US dollars at all.

Roan was a little surprised when he saw this scene, and began to be a little curious about Potente-Byrne's previous experience.

 But before Roan could think about it carefully, Potente-Bourne turned around and said in a deep voice:

“Luo An, you said you found some clues before, what specific clues are they?”

Looking up and seeing the glint in the team leader's eyes, Luo An was speechless.

It seems that Potente-Byrne doesn't care about the money, but he just does better on the surface.

 “Ahem, that’s it.”

Luo An coughed twice and attracted everyone's attention, and explained:

“Everyone, from the calm attitude of the robbers in the bank, we can see that these guys are definitely prepared.”

 There is no one around to talk to you, this is obvious. Luo An paused for a moment and continued:

“Since the other party is prepared, it is impossible for them not to think about the countermeasures of our law enforcement personnel in advance.

 So if we meet the other party's request, we allow them thirty minutes...twenty-five minutes later to drive the school bus to the airport with the hostages. After arriving at the airport...no, during the escort! We will definitely encounter emergencies! "

 At the end of his words, Luo An looked extremely confident and judged an inference as a definite answer in his words.

Of course Luo An was sure, because he could think of no less than a dozen escape strategies when he put himself into this group of bank robbers.

Hearing this, team leader Potente Byrne and the LAPD director were shocked. They both had enough experience, and Luo An's guess was very likely in their eyes.

The LAPD director didn’t say much. When a police superintendent saw Luo An from the FBI attracting such attention, he frowned slightly and said subconsciously:

“We can take more precautions during the escort, and the other party will never be able to escape from our hands!”

“What if a crane suddenly appears in the middle of the road and lifts the other school bus to another road?”

 Luo An closed his notebook and calmly stated four or five escape strategies, including but not limited to car accidents blocking roads, bombing tunnels, bombing bridges, and planes hoisting school buses, etc.

　　　…”

 After hearing these words, the LAPD team, Lacey, Morton-York, etc. all looked at Luo An in stunned silence.

The corners of the mouth of team leader Potente Byrne also twitched a few times.

Had it not been for Luo An's innocent identity and the fact that he was the deputy leader of the special investigation team, they would have suspected that Luo An was an accomplice of the bank robber.

 “This is Hollywood.”

Luo An handed the laptop to Lacey and casually said that he had had the dream of being a director before. Finally, he said with a serious face:

"So, we are currently unable to determine what the back-up preparations of this group of robbers are. In order to prevent them from escaping from our hands, we must keep these guys in the bank forever!"

 “That’s right!”

The bank executives and others next to him came to their senses and clapped their hands and cheered loudly for Luo An's words. Potente Byrne, the team leader, also cast an approving look at Luo An.

 “But what to do with the bombs in the hands of this group of robbers?”

The LAPD director briefly thought about it and found that Luo An’s analysis was reasonable. He didn’t say anything. The superintendent on the side asked again:

 “These bombs are now tied to the hostages!”

“Then first find a way to defuse the bomb, and then find a way to deal with this group of robbers!”

 Before Luo An could speak, team leader Potente Byrne gave the superintendent a cold look and answered the other person's question.

Roan's analysis is undoubtedly the best solution to the current situation. Potente-Byrne, who is used to doing things directly, is really in no mood to argue with the LAPD in this regard.

Potente-Byrne took out his cell phone from his pocket and prepared to call the counter-improvised explosive device department of the FBI's Los Angeles branch and ask them to come to the scene quickly to check the situation. After all, this department is the expert in bomb research.

 “No need, sir.”

Just as Potente-Byrne was about to press the button, Luo An said that he came to the scene and had already called the counter-improvised explosive device department when he saw the injured LAPD rushed to the hospital for rescue.

Grabbed the watch on Lacey's wrist and took a look at it, Luo An smiled and said:

 “They should be on the scene soon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark van of the counter-improvised explosive device department stopped on the road behind everyone.
