"... Now we can see that buses are still circling on the airport runway. It seems that the police still have not figured out a way to rescue the hostages... "
The mysterious man who had just walked out of the bathroom with his waistband lifted up couldn't help but smile when he heard what the host said on TV. He hummed a little tune, sat back in his seat, picked up his cell phone, and was about to ask the NIA how the preparations for the 10 million in cash he wanted were going.
However, his fingers were already on the button and when he was about to dial it out, the mysterious man suddenly noticed something strange. He frowned, sat up straight, and looked at the TV screen carefully. After watching for a while, he suddenly realized where that strange feeling came from.
shadow.
On the TV, the shadow of the bus is reflected on the road.
Although Daddario tried his best to keep the bus on the same route, it couldn't be perfect after all. So when turning a certain corner, the shadow position of the bus suddenly changed.
This change is just a moment, and it is impossible to see it if you don't observe carefully.
But just this inconspicuous change in the shadow's position made the mysterious man instantly understand that he had been deceived.
What he is seeing now is not a live broadcast at all, but an edited video, disguised as a live broadcast and constantly being broadcast on TV.
"No, damn no!!!"
The mysterious man picked up the water glass and smashed it on the TV, smashing the screen into pieces. Looking at the TV set filled with sparks, he still felt uneasy, so he used force again and overturned the table.
"Xie Lun, Xie Lun, you are really surprising me more and more. But you probably won't give up on catching me. Haha, the game between us is not over yet."
He walked to the window and opened a gap in the closed curtains. At this time, he was in a high-rise building, and right next to the intersection diagonally opposite the building, there stood a large trash can.
The mysterious man squinted his eyes, picked up a small telescope, and looked at the buildings around the intersection. Sure enough, snipers deployed by the police were hidden on the high buildings near the intersection.
One block away from the intersection, Alvaro, who was acting as a temporary driver, stopped the car and then very smartly got out first. Sherron said to Daddario who was sitting next to him: "You stay in the car and wait for me to come back."
Daddario nodded obediently: "But are you sure that guy will definitely come to get the money?"
Xie Lun smiled and said: "There is no real picture on TV yet, so he may be fooled. But even if he sees through my plan, he will come."
Daddario was a little confused: "Why?"
"It's very simple. That's 10 million in cash, but it's a lot of money. Even if he knew it was a trap, he couldn't stand the temptation."
Sherron got out of the car with a smile. Alvaro, who was talking with other agents, came over and said in a deep voice: "The bait has been put down."
Xie Lun nodded: "How did you hook it?"
"Our agents disguised themselves as cleaners and put the cash into a large black garbage bag and put it into the trash can." Alvaro said. "The bag contained a GPS positioning device and anti-theft spray, and it was placed on the surrounding buildings. Snipers have been arranged, and as long as he dares to show up, I guarantee that he will never be able to escape."
"Don't talk too much, that guy will definitely guess our layout, so he will definitely have some way to target it." Sherron and Alvaro walked into the building and said in a deep voice, "Now is the time When we compete with him in a battle of wits and courage, we will either return home with a lot of success, or we will die in a dead end."
At this time, the NIA had opened a command room in this building. Sherron walked to the window, picked up the telescope and looked outside. Looking at the big trash can, he frowned and said, "Has anyone approached it since the money was put in?"
The police detective next to him immediately replied: "No, we have been keeping an eye on it, and so far, no suspicious person has come close to the trash can."
Xie Lun frowned and said: "There are many buildings around. Maybe that guy is hiding nearby and watching like us."
He put down the telescope, turned to Alvaro and smiled: "Maybe this guy is hiding in this building."
When Alvaro heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "But we don't know the other party's identity. Even if all nearby buildings are blocked, we don't know who to look for."
Xie Lun smiled and said nothing.
In the SUV downstairs, Daddario looked around boredly. Her cell phone was out of battery and she couldn't get online. Suddenly her eyes fell on a public phone booth not far away, and she suddenly remembered that she had not called her parents to report that she was safe.
The bus on TV is still circling on the airport runway. Johnson and Carla don't know that they are safe yet, and they don't know how worried they are now.
Daddario scratched his head, rummaged around in the car, and finally found a few coins, then got out of the car and walked to the phone booth, wanting to call his parents to report that he was safe.
But before she could reach the phone booth, a police officer suddenly walked over and said urgently: "Miss Daddario, it's not safe for you here now. Inspector Xie asked me to take you to another place."
Daddario was stunned and saw that the police officer had gray hair on his temples. He was an old police officer. His face was serious and upright, giving people a feeling of trust and peace of mind. In addition, the other party was able to name Xie Lun and himself, so Daddario did not become suspicious and frowned: "Where is Xie Lun?"
The old police officer stepped forward and lowered his voice: "The bomber installed a bomb nearby. Detective Xie went to deal with the matter. Before leaving, he specifically asked me to take you out of here quickly."
"Is there a bomb here too?"
Daddario was shocked. After experiencing the bus incident, she was now a little sensitive to the word bomb, and her mind was suddenly frightened and stopped spinning. Coupled with the serious expression on the old police officer's face, Daddario was so confused that he was pulled away by the old police officer.
Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour passed quickly. During this period of time, Xie Lun and others kept staring at the trash can, but no one came close.
At this moment, the police detective who had been staring at the monitor suddenly felt a thrill all over his body and shouted loudly: "What's going on?"
"What's wrong?"
Alvaro came over.
The agent pointed at the monitor and said in surprise: "The GPS positioning has moved."
"What?" Xie Lun also came over, "No one came near that trash can, and no one took the money. How could the locator move?"
"But look..."
Seeing the red dot flashing on the monitor, Xie Lun laughed coldly: "It really moved... Tsk, tsk, what's going on?"
Alvaro asked: "Is there something wrong with the instrument?"
The detective typed a few times on the keyboard, shook his head and said: "Everything is normal, there is no malfunction. And judging from the speed of movement, the person who took the money should be walking and not driving."
Alvaro rushed to the window again, picked up the telescope, and after looking at it for a moment, he said urgently: "No one is holding those garbage bags."
Without saying a word, Xie Lun rushed out of the room. Alvaro and others were startled and quickly followed. The group of people quickly ran to the trash can. Xie Lun reached out and pushed the trash can away, only to see a hole the size of a water tank appeared on the ground under the trash can.
