Chapter 509: Arrest
Los Angeles City Hall.
In the middle of the meeting room was a brown oval desk nearly ten meters long.
A man in a blue maintenance uniform was kneeling under an oval-shaped desk. There was a black toolbox next to him. From time to time, he took out something from the toolbox, as if he was installing something.
"Crack..." There was a knock on the door.
The door of the conference room opened from the outside.
A middle-aged Caucasian woman in a black professional dress walked into the meeting room. She was wearing black-rimmed glasses and holding a document in her hand. She was a little surprised when she saw the maintenance worker and asked, "Who are you? Why are you in meeting room?"
The maintenance worker poked his head out from under the table and asked, "Ma'am, what do you think I'm doing?
I'll talk about it later, I'm busy right now. "
The caucasian woman frowned slightly, and said imaginatively, "The conference table is broken?" She looked down at her watch, "There is still ten minutes, there is a very important city meeting here, and the mayor and councilors will come, can you fix it?" ?”
The maintenance worker took a look at her, "If no one bothers, I think it should be fine."
The white woman curled her lips, "It's a pleasure talking to you."
With a "bang", she directly closed the door of the meeting room.
The chief maintenance engineer breathed a sigh of relief, and the work in hand speeded up a bit.
After finishing his work, he patted the table and said with a smile, "Everyone, I hope you like today's little surprise."
Then, he walked out of the meeting room with the toolbox in hand.
He didn't leave in a hurry, but waited outside the meeting room for a while.
He turned and left when he saw a group of people in suits and leather shoes entering the meeting room.
He saw the white woman holding the document again, and teased, "Do you have time tonight? I'll buy you a drink."
"Thank you, I just quit drinking yesterday." The woman in white smiled, turned around and rolled her eyes, and walked into the conference room quickly.
"Sorry." The maintenance worker sighed, turned and left.
In front was an empty corridor. Two patrolmen turned into the corridor. The maintenance worker narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head, and turned directly into the passage on the right.
A black patrolman also noticed him, but because he was wearing a hat and lowered his head, he couldn't see his face clearly, "Hey, sir, please wait a moment."
The maintenance worker didn't stop, but quickened his pace.
When the two patrolmen turned right into the passage, the maintenance workers had disappeared.
At the end of the passage is a staircase. The black patrolman said to his partner, "This guy is a bit suspicious. You go down the stairs. I will look up and be careful."
"Man, you too."
The two moved separately, and the black patrolman took out the walkie-talkie while climbing the stairs and said that a suspicious white man was found on the third floor of the city hall. He was wearing a blue maintenance uniform and was carrying a black box in his hand.
The black patrolman finished his report and walked to the fourth floor of the city hall. He held a gun in both hands and was about to search the fourth floor.
Suddenly, a figure flashed across the corner, and a stick hit the wrist of the man in black, and the pistol fell with a "bang".
Before the pistol fell to the ground, the figure shot again, and the stick struck the black patrolman's head, knocking him unconscious with a "bang".
The black patrolman leaned back and fell limply on the ground. He vaguely heard a man's voice, "It's too slow, and the ability to resist blows is too weak."
When he woke up, he was pushed to the head by an all-too-familiar pistol, and the man holding the gun was the maintenance worker.
"Don't resist, don't yell, as long as you do what I say, you can survive, nod if you understand."
The black patrolman nodded quickly.
"Very well, tell your co-workers on the intercom that you found me, everything is fine, I'm just a normal maintenance worker.
If your statement doesn't satisfy me, you know the consequences, the maintenance man pokes the black patrolman in the head with his pistol. "
The black patrolman felt humiliated and stared fiercely at the maintenance worker, but he was powerless to resist, because his hands were also handcuffed, and he didn't even have a chance to desperately.
The maintenance worker turned on the police walkie-talkie and put it in front of the black patrolman.
The black patrolman hesitated for a moment. Seeing the maintenance worker put his finger on the trigger of the pistol, he said helplessly, "I am A37. I found the maintenance worker. Everything is normal. He is not carrying any dangerous items, nor is it what we want. The person I'm looking for, Over."
"Bang." After the words fell, the black patrolman was hit hard on the head by the butt of a gun.
This time, he completely fainted.
...
The gate of the city hall.
Luke and Jackson walked into the lobby of the city hall one after the other.
The city government of Los Angeles is a little different from what Luke thought. There are no police, no security guards, and even no registration.
There are several tents set up on the lawn outside the city hall, which have been occupied by homeless people.
There are still a few tourists taking pictures in the lobby on the first floor.
Luke has some doubts about his previous judgment. This place is not challenging at all. Can you really like it?
Fortunately, the police did not deploy all the police forces here.
Because there are many other buildings around the city hall, such as prisons, federal buildings, and courts, considering that terrorists may also attack these places, the police and FBI also sent reinforcements.
In groups of two, implement strict control around the surrounding area.
Luke glanced at the lobby on the first floor. A patrolman was questioning a tourist. After saying a few words, the patrolman let the tourist leave, and the patrolman also turned into the side entrance of the city hall.
Both the tourist and the patrolman turned their backs to Luke, so they couldn't see their faces clearly, but the patrolman's shoes caught Luke's gaze.
A pair of brown platform leather shoes were the same as the suspect Tapani Reagan's shoes.
"Jackson, I may have found Tapani Reagan. He should have planted a bomb in the city hall. You are responsible for evacuating the crowd, and I will catch him."
"Captain, do you want me to go with you?"
"Do as I say. In addition, you report to the main station that the suspect Tapani Reagan is likely to be wearing a police uniform." The purpose of the police is not only to catch Tapani Reagan, it is best to stop the bomb explode.
But judging from the current situation, it is not easy to catch Tapani Reagan and learn the whereabouts of the bomb from him. The safest way is to evacuate the crowd first to minimize casualties.
Luke drew his pistol and turned into the side entrance of the city hall. The patrolman moved very fast. Luke only saw his back and turned into the passage on the right.
Luke felt that there was something wrong with him, and quickly chased after him. However, he just ran to the entrance of the passage.
"Da..." He felt something fall to his feet.
Looking down, it was a grenade.
Luke didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively fell to the ground.
"Boom".
The grenade exploded directly.
Shocked Luke's ears buzzed.
There was a voice in his head.
[The bullet avoidance card has been activated. 】
As expected of a retired soldier, this guy is more vigilant than Luke thought.
The bullet avoidance card has a three-minute time limit, and Luke will not suffer much damage during this time.
Luke stood up and chased after him again.
Through the smoke, Luke saw again, the policeman in the brown platform leather shoes.
"Lapd."
"Bang bang..."
Almost at the same time, both sides opened fire.
Luke felt a bullet go down his cheek.
The two sides fought head-on, and Luke finally saw the face of the other side, it was Tapani Reagan.
Tapani Reagan was shot in the shoulder. He didn't seem to have thought that Luke would be so fierce. He didn't dare to fight head-on again, and ran away while shooting.
He hid behind a tent on the lawn.
There was a homeless man hiding next to the tent, looking at Tapani Li nervously, and asked, "Why did the man on the other side attack you?"
Tapani Reagan froze for a moment, looked down at his police uniform, and said, "He is a terrorist who is being wanted."
The homeless man took a deep breath, "Need help?"
Tapani Reagan could feel that Luke was approaching this way, and he was injured now, so he might not be Luke's opponent, not to mention that a large number of police officers would soon come to support him.
Tapani Reagan handed the homeless a spare gun, "If he comes, we'll both die, and you'll be silenced, and I'll count to three, and we'll both shoot him at the same time.
If I die, you run quickly. "
"I... am not a coward." The homeless man took a deep breath, he hadn't been cared for for a long time, he was a little inexplicably moved, and he held the gun in his hand vigorously.
"Three two one, shoot!"
The tramp stood up as agreed and shot Luke.
"Bang bang..."
Seeing this scene, Luke was also a little dazed, and with the blessing of the precision card, he shot the homeless man's wrist three times.
One bullet missed and the other two hit the homeless man in the arm.
With a sound of "ah", the gun fell from the homeless man's hand, screaming in pain.
Luke pointed to the police badge on his chest, "Asshole, look clearly, I'm the policeman."
Luke was not sure whether the other party was a real homeless man or an accomplice of Tapani Reagan, so he didn't kill him directly.
Only then did the tramp come to his senses, he turned to look for the man in the patrol uniform, and found that the man did not shoot when he counted to one, but turned and fled.
"fuck, I x-on:#¥%......"
Tapani Reagan had already run a little far away, and it was difficult to hit the opponent at this distance. This is why Tapani Reagan dared to expose his back to Luke. He bet that Luke would not shoot him.
At this time, other patrolmen also heard the sound and rushed over to subdue the homeless man.
Luke did not chase, but directly raised his gun to shoot. This distance is indeed a bit far, and the accuracy of the shooting is not high, but with the blessing of the precision card, there is still a chance of hitting.
"Bang bang..." Luke fired continuously.
Directly shoot a shuttle of bullets.
A bullet hit Tapani Reagan in the calf and he fell to the ground.
However, Tapani Reagan was more tenacious than imagined, he stood up, endured the pain and limped forward.
In this case, he couldn't have run too far and kidnapped an Asian female tourist hiding in a corner.
The Asian female tourist had never seen such a scene before, she was frightened and dumbfounded, and she kept muttering, "Ah, ah, ah..."
Tapani Reagan, who was nagging, was a little upset, and scolded, "Shut up, or I will shoot."
Luke also chased after him, "Tapani Reagan, you can't escape, surrender!"
Tapani Reagan held the Asian female tourist hostage, put a gun on her head, and said to Luke, "Man, your marksmanship is good, but it's a pity that we met a little late, otherwise I will definitely fight with you." Give it a try."
Luke said, "Didn't we try it just now?"
"No, I'm good at rifles and it's not fair that this is your home field."
"When is there fairness on the battlefield? You have been a soldier for so many years, but you still don't understand this truth."
Tapani Reagan showed a wry smile, "You're right, I lost. This is the real battlefield. You can never choose the environment and opponent."
Luke said, "Let her go, you can't escape."
"I didn't think about running, but I just didn't want to end up like this. My best life was spent fighting for my country, but what did I get? Injuries, my wife's betrayal, the government's indifference, I have nothing now. "
"As long as you cooperate with the police and reveal the accomplice behind it, I can help you become a tainted witness."
"I don't need to, I don't want to be interrogated like a criminal, and no one can judge me."
At this time, more policemen surrounded him. They had been notified by Jackson in advance and knew that the suspect might be pretending to be a policeman.
Tapani Reagan glanced at the numerous police officers, "You know? You shouldn't be arresting me. Without me, that guy would get out of control, and you would release a real demon."
Luke asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Tapani Reagan didn't answer, the gun in his hand dropped, and he fell to the ground weakly.
The female tourist took one look and ran away in fright.
Several patrolmen ran over and kicked away the gun in his hand.
One of the black police officers knelt down to check his breath, "Sir, he is dead."
Luke also came over. Although he hit Tapani Reagan, the two gunshot wounds were not fatal, so Tapani Reagan probably died of taking poison.
At this time, Tapani Reagan's body also changed, foam was spit out from the mouth, the veins on the neck were bursting, and the skin was red, "Everyone backed up immediately, Luke felt that Tapani Reagan's physical condition was a little bit wrong."
"Boom".
There was a bang on the fourth floor of the city hall, smoke, dust and debris flew everywhere.
Luke took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Jackson, have you arranged for the evacuation?"
"Yes, the alarm has been pressed just now, and most of the people have been evacuated."
Luke breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the evacuation had been arranged, the police's task was completed. If a few hard-headed people refused to leave, the police had nothing to do with being injured.
"Woooo..."
The sound of gunfire and explosions in the city hall attracted the attention of all parties. Police cars, ambulances, and news interview vehicles all rushed to the city hall one after another.
Today, Los Angeles is destined to grab headlines on major news sites around the world.
