After doing all this, Luke and the other man retreated back into the car.

The county police were approaching, and they didn't want to be mistaken for robbers and be attacked.

In less than a minute, the county police came up under cover, and when they saw the four robbers lying on the ground, they subconsciously looked around.

They dispersed and surrounded the robbers, hiding in the vehicles, with their rifles pointed vigilantly in all directions. Two people stepped forward, kicked away the guns in the hands of these people, and shouted: "Clear!"

A series of clear shots were fired, and the county police slowly surrounded them. Several people remained on guard, and only two people quickly took off all the guns from these people and threw them away.

At this time, the two county police officers who were on the outflanking position came over from the side, panting, and they all looked confused.

"W? T? H!" (What the hell) Bearded Nick was surprised and depressed: "Who put the handcuffs on them? You?"

The two county police officers who had surrounded the area shook their heads quickly. They had been running out of breath and had finally arrived.

Besides, how could they capture four fierce robbers alive without any harm

Luke then sat up straight and tapped lightly on the car window, opening it a crack.

Suddenly, guns were pointed at us.

Luke remained calm and composed. After all, the glass of his car was bulletproof, so it could withstand one or two accidental shots.

That's why he sat in the car and didn't roll down the window.

Bearded Nick narrowed his eyes and looked for a moment, then his face was full of disbelief: "You are... the one from lapd, who is that?"

Luke raised his hand and gestured around. Nick came to his senses and raised his hand to make a downward motion: "Put down the gun, we are one of us."

In this case, Luke is undoubtedly one of them.

Luke opened the car window when he saw them put down their guns: "These people wanted to rob my car, so I fought back against them. Is that not too much?"

Nick was stunned: "You..."

But looking at Luke's calm expression, he suddenly understood.

Bearded Nick is not a pure good policeman. He is more proficient in some crooked ways than Luke.

After Luke said this, the arrest of these robbers had nothing to do with him, and it was all thanks to Nick and his friends.

Nick's expression suddenly eased: "No problem. Um, how did you..."

Luke raised his hand: "Nick, your people are injured. I happen to know some first aid. I also have some medicine and bandages. So, do you need my help?"

Nick slapped himself in the face in annoyance: "Fxxk!" He was so surprised that he forgot there were several colleagues lying behind him.

At this moment, when Luke reminded him, he nodded quickly: "That's great. Uh, thank you."

Luke smiled and said no, took the first aid kit that Selina handed over from behind and gave her a look.

Selina nodded slightly, and after Luke quickly went out and closed the car door, she sat in the driver's seat, took over the monitoring, and called Elsa to report.

Luke's eyes reminded her that she wasn't that stupid.

This group of county police officers were not completely reliable either. She stayed in the car, reported the situation, and ensured the safety of both of them.

More than ten minutes later, the ambulance finally arrived and took away Nick's injured men.

Luke drove past Nick not far away and greeted him: "Nick, you must have a lot of things to do, I won't bother you."

Nick nodded bitterly, thought for a moment, and said, "Call me tomorrow and we'll make an appointment to talk about your matter."

Luke nodded, rolled up the window and drove away.

"Just now, Nick and his men found a lot of old banknotes in the robbers' car, but they soon discovered that they were mostly old counterfeit bills." Selina watched the bearded Nick gradually disappear in the rearview mirror, and then she spoke: "So, the robbers fooled the county police?"

Luke hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly: "They may not be robbers. If they were so smart, they shouldn't be blocked here. Judging from their performance, they didn't expect to be caught up by Nick and his men."

Selina: "What about the counterfeit money that Nick and the others found?"

Luke chuckled: "Based on the information I just learned, you can make the final decision."

Selina pondered and whispered, "The county police suffered heavy casualties, and the robbers were all killed. It's obvious that both sides thought the counterfeit money was real money. Could it be that the garbage truck driver?"

Luke just picked up the phone: "Hello, Boss, how's it going?"

Elsa said a few words on the other end and hung up the phone.

Luke said, "I have good news for you. Another garbage truck was stopped by Elsa and her team and taken back to the police station. Just now, they found several large bags of old hundred-dollar bills in it."

Selina was stunned: "Then am I right?"

Luke chuckled, "No, we have investigated the driver of the garbage truck that we stopped. He was working normally and there was nothing unusual. He did take that route today. According to his schedule, he would unload the garbage to the garbage dump one hour after leaving the Federal Reserve branch. During the questioning, he did not show any abnormality."

Selina frowned, "If he was one of the robbers, or knew there was so much money in the garbage truck and we intercepted it, it would be difficult to hide his emotions."

Luke nodded slightly in agreement.

This is not something that can be controlled by intelligence.

The saying "greed blinds the mind, people die for money" means that when the benefits of something are great to a certain extent, it can make people not care about life or death, let alone completely control their emotions.

The reason why Luke asked Elsa to bring more people to clean the garbage truck and asked Dustin to supervise was because he was afraid that too few people would participate and make people greedy and embezzle the garbage.

A pile of green US dollars in front of people is so tempting that it cannot be compared with the monotonous numbers on bank deposits.

Selina frowned: "So, who is this person?"

Luke chuckled: "Do you need me to give you an answer?"

Selina raised her hand: "No, I'll think about it myself. The answer must not be that complicated, otherwise you wouldn't want to tell me directly. Wait, one of the robbers escaped, the black man who entered the Federal Reserve branch!"

Luke said nothing.

Selina seemed to have received encouragement, and inspiration suddenly occurred to her mind: "He was also in the Federal Reserve branch during the time when the robbers used the armored car to enter the vault. Obviously, he was also an important part of the operation, but he did not come out with the robbers. Just now, this guy took advantage of the fight between the two sides to secretly open the handcuffs and escape from Nick and his car."

Luke nodded slightly: "Anything else?"

Selina closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, knocking on the car door unconsciously with her right hand. "This black man was caught by Nick and his men when he came out of the Federal Reserve branch. Then Nick and his men came here and blocked the robbers directly. Now, his accomplices are either dead or captured."
