Chapter 1196 The Second Kidnapping
After finally coaxing the panicked Larry Griffin back to the villa, Jack and Clay, who were left waiting outside, leaned against the car and talked quietly.
"I don't quite understand. Although it's inappropriate to say this, kidnapping seems to be more troublesome than killing the girl. What is the purpose of the Hammond brothers?
They had killed three people without hesitation before, and they could even directly choose Larry Griffin to kill them, so why did they go around in a big circle? Clay asked doubtfully.
Jack threw a cigar to him and lit one for himself before speaking slowly, "They are pursuing their own justice, not just revenge."
"What do you mean?" Clay said he didn't understand.
Jack prompted, "Do you still remember the somewhat contradictory way of death of Mr. and Mrs. Truck?"
"Of course, one was shot and the other was stabbed to death. Now it seems that the two brothers did it separately. What does this mean?" Clay still didn't understand what he meant.
Jack blew out a smoke ring and explained in detail, "This illustrates the obedience relationship between the two brothers, including deliberately arranged ritual scenes such as cutting off ears and tongues. I tend to believe that brother Greg is the leader, although in his heart Full of anger, but logical in his actions.
The ultimate target of the two brothers' revenge must be Larry Griffin, but it is not simply to kill him. "
"You're saying," Clay recalled the previous conversation, "Greg not only wants to use this method to let Larry Griffin experience the pain of losing a loved one, but he may also want to force him to personally Admit yourself guilty."
"When justice cannot be achieved through judicial proceedings, the only option left is violence, the simplest and most unpretentious method." Jack concluded in a calm tone.
State police also arrived with the rest of the wanted criminal team, and Jubal even borrowed the command vehicle from the local office.
"The photo was sent from an anonymous mobile phone that has been turned off. I will continue to keep an eye on this number if it turns on again.
Julia Griffin's mobile phone was also turned off, and GPS showed that its last location was a commercial plaza next to nearby Red Mountain Park. "
Alice was sitting in the opened command car and reporting the tracking results.
"Ah, I know, Julia has Pilates classes in the dance studio there." Larry Griffin's girlfriend exclaimed.
Jubal pointed at Aubrey and Hannah, "You guys go to the dance studio and call up the surveillance of the surrounding parking lots."
He turned to look at Larry who looked restless and asked, "What kind of car does your daughter usually drive?"
"Uh, it's a Range Rover, and the license plate number is *****." The old guy was completely panicked. "What do they want? Money? No matter how much they ask for, I will give it to them."
I'm afraid that what the other party wants is not money, but to ruin your reputation or even cost you your life.
Jubal persuaded Larry to leave and called two state troopers to accompany him and his girlfriend. Jack winked at Clay, who nodded knowingly and turned to leave.
Everyone was watching Larry's cell phone in the command car, waiting for a call from the Hammond brothers. As time passed, Jubal frowned and waved to Jack to follow him out of the car for some fresh air.
"To be honest, what I care more about is the bomb they prepared. All you need to kidnap hostages is a pistol. Where do you think they will use the bomb?"
"Since it is revenge, everyone related to the coal ash pollution incident may be implicated, including the lawyers defending Larry Griffin, the experts who testified in court, and even the judge and jury."
Jack was also a little confused. The scope was too wide. They had previously thought that the company that Larry opened for his girlfriend was the most likely to be attacked. However, the state police had already checked the office and warehouse and found no suspects. explosive.
"The jury can be excluded for the time being. I don't think the Hammond brothers have the ability to find out their identity information. The experts who testified are not locals. Then only the judge and lawyers are left. Do you think they will attack the court or the lawyer's office?" So?" Jubal was shocked.
"Issuing an announcement, just think of it as prepared." Jack didn't know for sure. Cutting off ears and tongues, etc., to some extent shows that the two brothers are not in a normal state of mind. Most people would not go through so many troubles when seeking revenge.
At this time, Jubal's cell phone rang. It was Hannah and Aubrey. They were lucky. The surveillance in the parking lot captured the entire process of Julia Griffin's kidnapping.
Hannah reported, "The kidnapper is Greg Hammond. He drives a black Mazda and will give Alice the license plate number now."
Before the two of them returned to the command car, Alice found the car owner's information, "This car belongs to Brad Smith. He is... uh? He is the mayor of Blue Spring Town."
Before he finished speaking, Jack and Jiejie rushed to Sababan who was parked aside, "Send me his home address."
——
"FBI!" Jack kicked open the door and rushed into the room, smelling the strong smell of bleach.
"Safety!"
"No one!" Jiejie returned to the living room and saw Jack holding a kitchen knife and cutting the rope for a middle-aged man who was tied to a chair.
"I, my eyes, I can't see anything! Help! Help me!" The middle-aged man with obvious burn marks on his face, especially his eyes, immediately let out a miserable cry after the tape on his mouth was torn off.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Jack glanced at the bleach on the table next to him, grabbed his arm and asked calmly, "Did you use anything else besides bleach?"
"Probably not, please help me, I can't see anything." The middle-aged man opened his eyes and trembled all over.
Jack lifted him up and pulled him under the kitchen faucet, reminding him loudly, "Open your mouth and breathe."
This guy's eyesight is gone, and flushing can only slightly relieve the pain. Greg Hammond drove his car to kidnap Julia Griffin two hours ago. In other words, his eyes were exposed to bleach at least 2 hours ago.
"They kidnapped my wife, please save her." The man, whose pain was slightly relieved, grabbed Jack's hand and begged, "Greg Hammond kidnapped her, and there was another person I don't know, and they also drove my car."
"Why did they kidnap your wife, did they say where they were going?" Jiejie asked.
"I don't know, but they drove away both of my cars, a black Mercedes and a Mazda." The middle-aged man named Brad Smith shouted excitedly.
"What are you waiting for? Save my wife, she is innocent."
"Calm down, tell us the license plate number of the other Mercedes, the ambulance is on the way, they will take you to the hospital later, before that, I need you to tell us exactly what Greg Hammond said to you."
