Los Angeles Detective

Chapter 624 Attack

Luke called his three helpers in and briefly explained his plan to take back the cockpit of the cruise ship.

He looked at the three of them and said solemnly, "The next battle will be very dangerous. If any of you want to quit, it's still too late.

I can also understand your decision. "

The three of them looked at each other, with no intention of backing down.

"You are real heroes." Luke praised and began to arrange tasks.

He looked at Hamadi Xiao's two bodyguards, "In a moment, you two will take back the cockpit with me." He then looked at the black chef, "You are responsible for guarding this robber."

The black chef frowned, "Why do you let me stay and watch this guy?

I also want to go with you to recapture the cockpit. I know the importance of the cockpit. You need a guide. No one is more familiar with this cruise ship than me. "

The reason why Luke asked the black chef to stay here to guard the robbers was because he was worried that he had no military training and might be injured in the battle, which might also cause instability to the team.

Luke advised, "The next mission is very dangerous and you may get injured."

The black chef looked at the two bodyguards and said, "They can go, why can't I go? Don't underestimate me."

Luke patted him on the shoulder, "Man, that's not what I meant. Both of them are retired soldiers, have received professional military training, and have rich combat experience."

Luke looked at the captured robber again, "Besides, we really need someone to watch him."

The black chef didn’t give up, “I could find colleagues to watch him.

He was injured now and his hands were still cuffed, making it impossible for him to run away.

I want to fight with you. "

Luke saw that the other party was resolute and stopped trying to persuade him, "Be careful, protect yourself, and be sure to obey the command."

"I see."

Luke continued to ask, "Martin, do you know what's going on in the cockpit?"

The black chef replied, “Of course, there is nothing on this cruise ship that I am not familiar with.

The cockpit is on the fifth floor of the cruise ship. The glass of the cockpit is bulletproof and the door is thickened. It is difficult to break in by force. "

At this moment, a man’s voice sounded over the cruise ship’s PA, “Good morning, fellow passengers!

Everyone should already know what happened on the cruise ship.

I now officially announce that this cruise ship has been hijacked, and everyone is staying in their rooms.

Anyone who dares to run around will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

Also, I know there's an FBI on this cruise ship.

This damn bastard killed my buddy and gathered a few helpers to try to deal with me.

I was angry, but I wasn't scared.

Come on, I'm in the cockpit, and I'm the only one here. "Speaking of this, the man on the radio chuckled, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you.

I have a bomb installed on this cruise ship, and I will detonate it whenever a stranger dares to approach the cockpit.

Although it may not be possible to blow up the entire cruise ship, it can definitely sink the cruise ship to the bottom of the sea. Then hundreds of passengers on the cruise ship will be buried with me.

I’m sure they and their families will appreciate you, haha.

Come on, I'll wait for you in the cockpit. "

After the broadcast ended, the kitchen pantry fell silent.

The actions of Luke and others can only be temporarily stopped.

The black chef Martin asked in a panic, "Did the robbers really install a bomb on the cruise ship?"

No one answered.

In Luke's view, if you want to find out whether there is a bomb, you must first find out what is the purpose of this group of robbers?

According to the captured robber Bald Zi, the purpose of this group of robbers was to rob passengers on the cruise ship, and then select a few wealthy passengers to kidnap and take them to Mexico for extortion.

Luke felt that there was a certain problem with this statement.

First of all, this group of robbers is weaker than expected. Whether it is staffing or firepower, it is somewhat difficult to control the entire ship.

If the robbers hadn't used cruise passengers, they wouldn't have been able to withstand a wave of SEALs.

Secondly, there was something wrong with the timing of the hijacking of the cruise ship.

If the kidnappers want to kidnap the passengers to Mexico, they should do it before arriving at the port of Cancun, Mexico, instead of doing it after they have passed the port of Cancun, as is the case now. After kidnapping the kidnappers, they have to turn around and return to the coast of Mexico. This is completely contradictory.

Luke guessed that the kidnappers probably had other purposes, but a temporary accident occurred and the original plan suddenly changed.

Only by finding out the kidnappers' original plan will we know whether they planted a bomb on the cruise ship.

Hamadi Xiao's bodyguard asked, "Advisor Li, what should we do now? Do we still want to take back the cockpit?"

Luke replied, “Now that the kidnappers are prepared, it will be much more difficult to recapture the cockpit.

If there is really a bomb on the cruise ship, the robbers may detonate the bomb in a critical moment, create chaos and escape.

In order to avoid large-scale casualties, the top priority is to eliminate the hidden dangers of bombs. "

Luke looked at the strapped robber Baldy, "Did you install a bomb on the cruise ship?"

"I don't know. I'm just a small character. Even if there is a bomb, they won't tell me in advance."

"Then tell me what you know."

"That's all I really know, I swear."

Luke asked, "Tell me the identities and positions of the six robbers."

"The leader is the second officer. He is the one who made the broadcast just now. He is also the one who recruited me. His name is Gol Neville.

Including me, there were two cruise ship security guards.

Three others were cruise ship warehouse managers. "

"Three of the robbers were cruise ship warehouse managers?"

"Yes."

Luke frowned slightly.

Is it a coincidence? Or do these positions have other purposes?

If we say that recruiting security guards is to take control of the cruise ship by surprise.

So what is the purpose of recruiting three warehouse managers?

Also, why did the second deputy, the leader of the robbers, know his identity as an FBI agent.

When Luke revealed this identity, only the people in the restaurant should know it.

This indicates that the people in the restaurant may have colluded with the robbers.

Luke looked at the robber Baldy, "Are there any of your accomplices in the restaurant?"

"No."

Luke stared at the other person, seeing no obvious signs of lying.

His thoughts returned to the three warehousemen.

If this solicitation is no coincidence, it suggests that warehouses are important to robbers.

Was the bomb placed in the cruise ship's warehouse?

Thinking of this, Luke asked the black chef on the side, "Do you know the location of the cruise ship warehouse?"

"certainly."

Under the leadership of the black chef, Luke and the four of them rushed to the cruise ship warehouse. The warehouse was very large and contained passengers' luggage.

Luke went in and searched, but found no sign of the robber.

Luke arranged for the four to search for bombs separately.

Luke found a pool of blood under a shelf.

There was a black plastic sheet covering it next to it. When the plastic sheet was lifted, there was the body of a white man wearing a security uniform. The man was shot in the chest and was stained red.

The appearance of this body confirmed some of Luke's conjectures. It was no coincidence that there were three warehouse managers among the robbers. They should have transported some contraband through their identities as warehouse managers.

Maybe some accidents were discovered in the process, and the security guard discovered it, and then shot the security guard to death.

If the contraband was really a bomb, Luke speculated that the bomb was most likely no longer in the warehouse and was probably placed elsewhere.

The reason is simple. Bombs are the robbers' biggest reliance. They will definitely arrange for people to guard them, but there is no one in the warehouse. There is only one cold body, which shows that they have given up here and hid the bomb in a more hidden place. place.

Other people's searches made little progress. The warehouse was very large and contained hundreds of passengers' luggage. The search took too long. It was impossible for the robbers to give Luke so much time.

Moreover, the search may turn out to be a failure.

Luke is ready to investigate in another direction. If the contraband transported is really a bomb, then Luke speculates that the bomb may have been sent to the cruise ship at the port of Cancun, Mexico.

There are three reasons. First, compared to Mexico, the United States has stricter control over explosives.

Secondly, the robbers hijacked the cruise ship just after it passed the port of Cancun, Mexico.

The third point is that the robbers’ accomplices also fled to Mexico, which is likely to be their base camp.

According to Luke, there were only two guests who boarded the ship from the port of Cancun, Mexico yesterday, Julian Ron and Antti Doherty.

Do these two people know something inside?

In addition, these two people not only knew his identity, but also experienced what happened in the restaurant.

Later, Luke took out his walkie-talkie and wanted to contact Hamadi Xiao to learn about Julian Ron's movements from him.

As soon as Luke turned on the intercom, Hamadi Xiao's voice sounded from the other side, "Luke, we were attacked, I..."

Bang bang bang..."

…

Five minutes ago, Hamadi Xiao, escorted by two bodyguards, boarded the elevator and returned to his room on the ninth floor.

Before, after the three of them left the restaurant, the entire cruise ship was in chaos, and the passengers hurriedly ran back to their rooms.

A group of people are fighting for the elevator and stairs.

The two bodyguards were worried about an accident, so they took Hamadi Xiao to a safe place.

Now that the situation on the cruise ship was stable, the two bodyguards took Hamadi Xiao back to the room.

"Ding dong..."

The elevator stopped at the ninth floor.

After a tall black bodyguard checked the situation outside, he took Hamadi Xiao out of the elevator and walked quickly to room 906.

Just as the three of them were approaching the door of the room, a man suddenly walked out of the stairwell, wearing a peaked cap and a black jacket, and kicked his hands into his pockets.

The two bodyguards couldn't help but become alert.

Before they could react, the man in black took out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Hamadi Xiao.

"Bang..." gunfire sounded.

The body of the black bodyguard stood in front of Hamadi Xiao, and the bullet hit the bodyguard.

"Bang bang..."

Another bodyguard also pulled out a pistol and fired back, shooting at the man in black.

"Go in quickly..."

The black bodyguard opened the door and pushed Hamadi Xiao inside.

"Bang bang..." The gunshots were still ringing.

The gun-wielding bodyguard was also shot and retreated into the room holding his shoulder.

The man in black did not give up and fired fiercely in the direction.

"Bang bang..."
