Chapter 673 Rescue(1/2)
9:50 p.m.
Near Aslan Bridge.
The river under the bridge has dried up. There is an old gray tent pitched on the west side of the river. The tent curtain is half open. There seem to be two people in the tent talking in a low voice.
Xiao Hei glanced outside the tent and asked Jackson beside him, "Do you think anyone will come?"
"Thirty thousand dollars to buy the clues about Henry Lawley is a good deal for them, they will definitely come," Jackson said firmly.
Xiao Hei said, "I really can't figure it out, why didn't the two people at the hotel cooperate with the police?
If they tell the police what they know, things will be much easier."
Jackson shrugged, "I don't know either.
However, this world is inherently complicated.
And this case involves precisely the most complicated small group of people."
Xiao Hei nodded, "That's right. Some people who think they are smart like to complicate simple things."
Jackson joked, "Why do you feel like what you say suddenly becomes philosophical?"
"I've always spoken very philosophically, but you didn't listen carefully before, haha."
"Woooo..."
A car drove onto the Aslan Bridge. Xiao Hei and Jackson immediately cheered up and looked in the direction of the bridge.
At this time, a red car drove quickly across the bridge without stopping.
Xiao Hei complained, "It's already ten o'clock, is that guy still coming? I don't want to stay here anymore to feed the mosquitoes."
Jackson sighed, "Don't mention the damn mosquitoes, I feel itchy all over now."
"Woooo..."
A black car drove onto the Aslan Bridge at a slow speed. When it reached the middle of the bridge, it 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 too long and drove off the bridge in a black car.
Jackson ran out of the tent and ran in the direction of the package.
Xiao Hei quickly took out his walkie-talkie and said, "I am No. 1. A black car just passed the Aslan Bridge. It is a suspected suspect vehicle."
Luke's voice came over the intercom, "Did you get the money?"
"The person in the black car threw the package under the bridge. No. 2 went to check it."
"I'll send someone to keep an eye on that car.
If the money in the package is OK, follow the plan."
"Understood." After Xiao Hei finished speaking, he also walked towards the direction of the package.
After checking the package, Jackson stood up and made an OK gesture, "No problem, there are thirty thousand dollars in the bag."
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "That means I didn't get bitten by mosquitoes in vain."
Then, the two left the river and got into a car parked on the roadside. Xiao Hei took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Mrs. Lawley, I am an enthusiastic citizen.
Glad you kept your promise.
I have 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."
After Xiao Hei finished speaking, he hung up the phone and said, "Man, it's time to finish the work."
…
Half an hour later.
A black car parked on the side of the road, with two men sitting in the car. The man in the cab lit a cigarette and smoked it to himself.
The man in the passenger compartment had a laptop in front of him and was typing on the keyboard.
After a while, the man's cell phone in the passenger seat rang, "Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding..."
"Hi, I'm Logan.
Yes, I checked the license plate number you sent, and it is a fake car."
A woman's voice sounded on the other side of the phone, "What do you mean? We were deceived by him?"
"not sure.
That car was a white Toyota sedan, not a black SUV.
The other party may have made up the license plate, or the robber may have used a fake car."
"I see.
I didn’t have high hopes at first.”
Rogen asked, "Did the robbers provide an address where the ransom was to be paid?"
"Not yet, let's continue waiting for news."
"clear."
…
An hour later, Roger's cell phone rang again, "Ding, ding, ding..."
"I'm Logan."
"The robbers sent the address and demanded that a ransom of two million US dollars be placed next to the trash can on the east side of Caijin Plaza at 1 a.m.
They will release Henry as soon as the ransom is paid."
"Next to the trash can on the east side of Caijin Plaza?"
"Yes, are you ready?"
"Of course." Logan said and hung up the phone.
The driver asked, "Where are we going?"
“Cajun Plaza.”
The two of them drove to Caijin Plaza. The appointed time had not yet arrived. The car circled around the square and found no suspicious persons.
Near one o'clock in the morning, the two of them parked their car on the east side of Caijin 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, but still saw no one. Then he turned around and got in the car.
The black car left Caijin Plaza.
Logan sat in the passenger compartment, turned on his laptop, and started to operate it with a bang.
The driver asked, "Has anyone taken the money?"
"The target hasn't moved yet, find a secluded place to park." As Logan spoke, his eyes were still fixed on the computer.
About ten minutes later, Logan suddenly said, "The target has moved, toward the southeast of Caijin Square.
Follow up, if the distance is too far, we will lose the target."
"Don't worry, I'm a famous driver, haha."
The black car started quickly and turned east at the intersection ahead.
Logan stared at the computer screen and directed the car to move forward, "Turn right ahead.
The speed can be slower. If you are too close, you will be easily spotted."
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 forward. It was almost two o'clock in the morning. Most of the residents in the community had dark lights. Only one house had light. "I saw it, it should be that house." The driver pointed his finger.
After a moment, he slowly pulled over and parked.
Logan said, "Yes, the target's location is right there.
Get ready for action, it's best to end the fight before they discover the tracker."
The driver asked while putting on his body armor, "How many do you think they have?"
"There should be no more than four. Let's rush in from behind and fight quickly."
"clear."
Soon, the two men were fully equipped with body armor, silenced pistols, smoke grenades, grenades, and shotguns.
Rogen reminded, “If a silenced pistol can solve the battle, don’t use that big guy.
I don’t want to bring lapd here.”
