Chapter 627 Cooperation

Yog Gerald slowly took off his hat, revealing a head of gray curly hair.

According to Luke's understanding, the gunman who attacked Hamadi Shaw on the ninth floor of the cruise ship was a white man of medium build and gray curly hair. The appearance of Yogurt Gerald completely matched him.

According to the description of Hamadi Shaw's bodyguard, the gunman was hit by a bullet in the left arm.

Luke grabbed the other man's left arm.

"Bah..." Yog Gerald took a breath, gritted his teeth tightly, and jerked his arms back.

In just an instant, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Luke asked, "Are you hurt?"

Yog Gerald took a step back and replied, "Yes, I accidentally hurt my arm when I jumped from the cruise ship into the sea just now."

Luke nodded, "I happen to be good at treating trauma. Roll up your sleeves and I'll bandage them for you."

"Thank you, no need. I can seek treatment from the cruise ship doctor."

Luke put his right hand on the gun, "I order you to roll up the sleeve of your left arm."

Several SEALs also noticed something unusual and pointed their guns at Yogurt Gerrard.

Yog Gerald's face was solemn and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Facing Luke and the well-trained SEALs, he had no room for resistance and slowly rolled up his sleeves.

There was a bandage wrapped around the arm, and there was faint red blood oozing out.

Luke said, "If you were injured just jumping into the sea, you wouldn't have time to bandage it.

To be honest, how did you hurt your arm? "

"I... accidentally fell and got hurt."

"Since it was a fall, why did you lie?"

Yog Gerald was silent.

Luke said to several SEALs, "Capture him first. I suspect that he is also an accomplice of Terror, so he wanted to use a life raft to escape to the coast of Mexico."

The other three passengers who jumped into the sea with Yog Gerald all looked panicked.

One of them defended, "I swear, I have nothing to do with the terrorists, and I didn't know him at all before. I thought the cruise ship was still hijacked by terrorists, so I listened to his lies and escaped on a life raft."

"Me too, I didn't know him before, I just met him on the deck.

If I knew he was afraid of separation, I would never leave with him. "

Luke comforted the three and took down their identification information.

At this time, there were more and more passengers on the deck, and the scene was a bit chaotic.

Luke climbed to the second floor of the cruise ship, pulled out a loudspeaker and shouted, “Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet.

I know you have many questions in your mind. I will briefly introduce the situation on the cruise ship.

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Luke Lee, and I am the deputy director of the FBI's Counterterrorism Division in Los Angeles.

Many passengers have met me in the cruise cafeteria just now.

At the critical moment, several brave friends stood up and took great risks to defeat the robbers with me. Their courage and dedication were admirable. "

"Bah bang..." Luke took the lead in applauding.

Passengers on the cruise ship also applauded.

The applause fell.

Luke continued, "Now that the robbers on the cruise ship have been captured, the SEALs have defeated their accomplices, and everyone is safe.

The cruise ship will also turn around immediately and return to Los Angeles.

Other than being a day later than scheduled, it won't make any difference.

The security of the ship will also be taken over by the FBI and Navy SEALs, so everyone no longer has to worry about safety issues.

That’s all I have to say, you can enjoy the rest of the journey. "

Suddenly, there was another round of applause and cheers on the deck.

The name Luke Lee is also remembered by everyone.

Not far away, Nami Inoue took a picture of the complete scene with her mobile phone.

She has been immersed in excitement. The luxury cruise ship with hundreds of passengers was hijacked, which was definitely a major event that shocked the world.

As a person who has personally experienced it, she has obtained first-hand information. If this news can be broadcast in time, she will not only become a full-time employee, but also become famous in the industry, and she may even consider publishing a book.

When fame comes, benefits will follow.

This is an irresistible temptation for a trainee reporter.

After Luke left the deck, he found Hamadi Shaw and his bodyguards and asked them to identify Yog Gerard.

Hamadi Xiao and the bodyguard confirmed that Yog Gerard was the man who attacked them.

Later, Luke took Yog Gerald into a closed room for interrogation.

Luke asked, "What's your name?"

"I already said that."

"Did I ask for your real name?"

"This is who I really am."

"Why did you attack Hamadi Shaw on the ninth floor of the cruise ship?"

"I don't know what you're talking about? I haven't assaulted anyone?"

"The victim has just identified you."

"I swear, he must have seen it wrong."

"OK." Luke asked, "Then tell me how your arm was injured? Don't give me any lame excuses.

I can confirm that the wound on your arm was a gunshot wound, not a so-called fall injury. "

Yog Gerald looked down at his wounds, "I was shot by a robber on the cruise ship."

"What does the robber look like?"

"I didn't see clearly."

"Were the robbers male or female? Where did they attack you?"

"It should be a male, on the sixth floor of the cruise ship."

"Then have you ever been to the ninth floor of a cruise ship?"

"No."

"you sure"

"Yes."

"very good.

We found some dripping blood stains on the stairwell of the ninth floor of the cruise ship. Based on the situation at the scene, we speculated that it was probably the blood stains left after the rusher was injured.

If the bloodstain matches your DNA, that's interesting.

Moreover, as long as we at the FBI are willing, we can investigate your identity to the bottom of the truth, and there is no chance of you escaping by chance.

You know this very well, why don't you face reality? "

"I don't know what you mean by reality?

But I know very well what should be said and what should not be said, otherwise I would have died in prison for no reason before I could go to court. "

Yogurt Gerald’s words were obviously saying that there was someone behind this incident, Luke said, “If you are willing to cooperate with our FBI, we will naturally protect you.

Yogurt Gerald shook his head, "I don't trust you, let alone the FBI.

But I know them very well, and as long as I cooperate with you, they will definitely kill me. "

"Even if you are unwilling to cooperate with us, we can still find out the truth of the matter through your identity.

They will also think you betrayed them.

Without the protection of the FBI, you will only die faster and more miserably. "

Yog Gerald said dissatisfied, "Are you threatening me?"

"No, I'm just telling the truth. Cooperating with me is your only chance to survive.

It's you who should be worried, not me. "Luke stood up and left the interrogation room.

Luke contacted the FBI's Los Angeles branch to report the situation here, and at the same time, asked them to investigate the robber's downline in Los Angeles and the background of Yog Gerard.

Luke is now the actual person in charge of the cruise ship and has a lot to deal with. By the time he is finished, it is already ten o'clock in the evening.

He returned to his room on the ninth floor and saw Nami Inoue waiting at the door.

Luke shrugged, his voice a little tired, "Good evening, beauty. I hope you're not here to discuss work with me."

"Sorry, I just came to talk to you about work, and it's very important."

"Everyone says that." Luke sighed, opened the door, and walked into the room.

Luke took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass first, and asked, "Would you like a glass?"

"No, I need to stay awake so that I can work better."

Luke took a sip of red wine and sat on the sofa, "You tell me, I'll listen."

Nami Inoue also sat on the sofa and said, "When the cruise ship docked on the coast of Mexico, my mobile phone had a signal.

I contacted the news director of the station and told him about the hijacking of the cruise ship.

If I guessed correctly, it would have been in the news by now. "

Luke nodded. There were too many passengers on the cruise ship. Even if Inoue Nami didn't contact the TV station, others would spread the news through various channels.

"Congratulations, you will be promoted soon." Luke raised his glass.

Nami Inoue sat next to Luke and said excitedly, "Luke, you should know.

This ship hijacking is big news. If it is broadcast, it will not only be good for me, but also for you.

I hope I can discuss it with you and release a piece of news that will benefit both parties. What do you think? "

In the past, Luke might have wanted to keep a low profile, but now his state of mind was somewhat different.

In the past, as long as you could solve the case and accumulate merit, you could be promoted, but now as your position gradually becomes higher, the rules of the game are somewhat different.

The middle- and upper-level positions in the Robbery and Murder Department are nothing more than a carrot and a trap. It is difficult to get any real benefits from diligently solving cases.

Therefore, Luke began to pay attention to fame. As long as the fame is big enough, benefits will come uninvited. This is a shortcut.

Luke said, "Didn't you already tell the TV station about the hijacking of the cruise ship? What else do you need me to do?"

"That's not enough. I hope to give you an exclusive interview. You are the actual person in charge of this terrorist attack. It was you who saved the passengers of the cruise ship from the robbers.

If you can be interviewed by a TV station, the effect will be very sensational.

I will make you a hero who saves America. "

Luke thought for a while, and if he was interviewed as the actual person in charge of the terrorist attack, it would indeed cause quite a stir, and Luke's reputation would be even higher.

From the perspective of the TV station and Inoue Nami, there is no problem.

But for Luke himself, this is not the best solution. Being interviewed is tantamount to bragging about himself. Even if what he says is true, it will appear to be too much.

The best compliments should be heard from other people.

Luke asked, "Did you film me catching the robber in the restaurant?"

"Of course, don't question my expertise."

"Did you take pictures of my speech on the deck?"

"Yes, you said it very well. In a few years, you can consider running for mayor of Los Angeles."

Luke said, “It’s better to use real pictures as news material than to brag about myself.

Moreover, you can interview some cruise passengers, and I think they will not be stingy in their praise of me.

It's better than doing the interview myself. "

Inoue Nami thought for a while, "You are right, this news angle is not bad."

In fact, Inoue Nami still prefers to conduct exclusive interviews with Luke. Being able to interview the news parties is also a reflection of the reporter's ability.

However, she knows very well who is the one who calls the shots between the two.

"There is another problem now. The cruise ship has left the coast and sailed into the depths of the sea, and the mobile phone signal has been lost again.

I have no way to contact the TV station until the communication failure is repaired. "

Luke said indifferently, "Do your interview well and leave the rest to me."

Inoue Nami smiled, "No problem, I will choose a handsome photo for you as the cover. Believe me, the ladies in Los Angeles will be fascinated by you."
