Los Angeles Detective

Upon learning that Hamadi Xiao had been attacked, Luke immediately rushed to support with two of Hamadi Xiao's bodyguards.

Luke took the elevator while two bodyguards climbed the stairs to surround the gunman who shot Hamadi Shaw.

"Ding dong..."

Luke took the elevator down to the ninth floor. Bullet marks and blood stains were left in the corridor, but no gunman was found.

Luke took out the walkie-talkie and asked, "Hamadi, I arrived on the ninth floor, how is the situation?"

Hamadi Xiao replied, "A few minutes ago, the gunman stopped shooting. We have been hiding in the room and did not go out to check. I guess the gunman should have escaped."

At this time, footsteps sounded in the stairwell, and Hamadi Xiao's two bodyguards also arrived.

Luke said on the intercom, "Open the door to the room, we're going in."

"Creak..." There was a sound from the door.

The door to room 906 opened.

The black bodyguard glanced outside and then stepped aside.

Luke saw that he had been shot in the back and asked, "Are you hurt?"

“The other party was using a Glock 19, and I was wearing a body armor, so it wasn’t a big problem.

But Matos was injured. "

Luke walked into the room and saw Hamadi Xiao holding a towel on the bodyguard Matos' leg.

Hamadi Xiao raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God, you are finally here.

Matos was shot in the shoulder and leg and had to be treated quickly. "

Luke said to the bodyguard who had just come in, "Contact the black chef Martin and ask him to help find the cruise doctor."

Luke checked the injury of bodyguard Matos and found that there was no damage to the artery and it was not a fatal injury.

Luke asked Hamadi Xiao, "Did you see the gunman's appearance clearly?"

"Yes, the shooter was wearing a black jacket, with a medium build and gray curly hair. He should be a white man."

Luke asked, "Was the shooter injured?"

"I hit him in the arm," said Mattos, the bodyguard.

Luke nodded and reassured, "Although I didn't block him just now, he can't escape.

Once the robber is solved, we will definitely catch him. "

Hamadi Xiao looked grateful, "Luke, thank you for the gun.

Without the gun you gave me, all three of us would have died. "

Luke nodded, "Do you know where Julian Ron is?"

Hamadi Xiao shrugged, "We separated after leaving the restaurant. I guess he should be in the room."

"You close the door and I'll go talk to Julian Ron."

Hamadi Xiao was a little confused, "What are you talking to him about?"

Luke didn't answer. He shook the walkie-talkie in his hand and said, "Contact me if you have any questions."

Luke left room 906, stood in the corridor, looked around, and found nothing unusual. Then he walked to the door of room 902 and knocked on the door.

There was no response from the room.

"Mr. Ron, this is Luke, please open the door."

After a while, the door opened, and Julian Ron looked towards the corridor and asked, "Did there just be a gunfight in the corridor?"

"Let's go in and talk." Luke walked directly into the room. In addition to Julian Ron, there was also his girlfriend Andy Doherty.

Julian Ron asked, "What happened just now?"

"A gunman attacked Al-Hamadi."

"Have you caught the attacker?"

"No."

"Is Hamaidi injured?"

"No injuries, he is safe now."

Andy Doherty also came over and asked, "Were the people who attacked Hamaidi the hijackers of the cruise ship?"

Luke shook his head, "It's not clear yet."

Julian Ron frowned and asked, "Luke, what do you want from us?"

"I'm investigating the cruise ship robbers and want to know some information from you."

"What do you know?" Julian Ron spread his hands and said with a smile, "I am a shareholder of this cruise ship. You don't think I have anything to do with the robbers, do you?"

“I’m not saying that you have anything to do with the robbers, but I suspect that the robbers may have smuggled some contraband onto the cruise ship at the port of Cancun, Mexico, and you happened to board the cruise ship at the port of Cancun, Mexico.

I want to know if you noticed anything unusual at that time? "

Julian Ron shook his head, "I didn't notice."

Luke looked at Andy Doherty again, "What about you?"

Andy Doherty shrugged, "Then I don't know even more."

Luke stared at Andy Doherty, "You look a little nervous and sweating a lot."

Andy Doherty took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "The gunshots just scared me. We were traveling and we didn't expect to be in danger."

Julian Ron put his arm around Andy Doherty's shoulders and comforted him, "My dear, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Luke stared at the two of them, vaguely feeling that there was something wrong with Andy Doherty.

"Miss Doherty, the robbers smuggled some contraband onto the cruise ship at the port of Cancun, Mexico, and said it was likely related to the safety of the entire cruise passengers.

If you know something inside, I hope you can tell me. "

"I don't know what you are talking about, how could I be related to the robbers." Andy Doherty grabbed Julian Ron's arm, "My dear, I have been with you, you can testify for me of."

"Yes, we have been together all the time. She cannot be related to the robbers." Julian Ron said firmly.

"I also hope that I checked wrongly, but, Miss Doherty, why did you lie?"

"I did not lie."

"You're still lying."

Andy Doherty sounded dissatisfied and asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that I lied?"

"I am the deputy director of the FBI's Counterterrorism Division. Considering the critical situation on the cruise ship, I want to protect the cruise passengers from being harmed by terrorists.

I can use some extraordinary means..." Luke pressed his hand on the butt of the gun.

Anti Doherty retreated behind Julian Ron and protested, "I'm innocent, you're setting this up completely."

Luke looked at Julian Ron, "Do you know about robbers bringing contraband onto the cruise ship?"

"have no idea.

I am a shareholder of the cruise ship, how could I hijack my own ship? "

"Then do you know why Andy Doherty lied?"

Julian Ron turned his head and glanced at Andy Doherty, then moved to the side, keeping some distance away from her.

Andy Doherty shook his head, "Honey, don't believe him."

Julian Ron said, "Anti, we have been together for so long. I can feel that your current state is not right. What happened?"

"There's nothing wrong with that.

I was just frightened by what happened in the restaurant and the gunshots in the corridor. It was so scary.

I am a woman and I need protection. "Anti Chuchu looked at Julian Ron pitifully.

Julian Ron was also a little confused. He looked at Andy and then at Luke.

Luke said, "Mr. Julian Ron, what luggage did Andy carry? Is it possible that there are prohibited items?"

Julian Ron sighed, “I don’t know, she packs her luggage by herself, I never care about this kind of thing.

Moreover, our items do not need to go through security checks. "

Luke suddenly understood that ordinary people's luggage on a cruise ship had to go through security check, but because Julian Ron was a shareholder of the cruise company, he used his privileges and did not need to go through security check. The robbers were probably taking advantage of Anti. Bringing contraband on board a cruise ship.

Luke took out his pistol and pointed it at Andy, "I suspect that you are related to the cruise hijackers. Please assist in the investigation and raise your hands."

"No no no, I am innocent." Andy defended.

"Kneel down on the ground immediately and put your head in your hands." Luke yelled sternly.

Andy shook his head and knelt on the ground according to Luke's words. At the same time, he stared at Julian Ron beside him with pleading eyes, "My dear, I was wronged."

Luke walked over to Andy and cuffed her hands.

"It's useless if you don't admit it. The SEALs have surrounded the cruise ship and there's no way you can escape.

Your only chance now is to help me capture the remaining robbers. "

Andy lowered his head and did not respond.

Luke then began to search her luggage and found a walkie-talkie, a satellite phone, and a small pistol under the suitcase containing clothes.

Seeing these items, Julian Ron collapsed on the sofa. He completely believed Luke's words and asked Andy, "Why did you do this? Why did you help outsiders hijack the cruise ship?"

Andy was silent for a long time and said coldly, "For money."

"Money?" Julian Ron looked incredulous, "Why didn't you tell me you were short of money?

I can give you money.

But you helped the robbers hijack our company's cruise ship. How much money can they give you? "

"More than you gave me."

Julian Ron still found it difficult to understand, "Am I not treating you well? Your clothes, jewelry, purses, and cosmetics are all of the highest quality.

Anything can equal an average person's salary for a year.

The most important thing I lack is money, and you betrayed me because of money? "

"You are right, the gift you gave me is indeed very expensive, but so what? You are just pretending to be your girlfriend for your own sake.

If you had another girlfriend, you would do the same thing.

You haven't really thought about me.

If one day we break up, I will have nothing. "

Julian Ron spread his hands and said sincerely, "If you need money, I will give it to you."

"Hypocrisy." Andy smiled sarcastically, "You know what?

I went shopping some time ago and met your ex-girlfriend in a luxury store.

She is selling the leather bag you gave her.

After she left, I learned from the clerk that this was not the first time she had sold something.

Since being dumped by you, she has been living by selling the gifts you gave her.

I don't want to be like her. "

"Andy, you're different from her, you're different to me."

Andy laughed at himself, “I don’t see any difference.

Since being with you, my food and clothing have been the best. I have never enjoyed this kind of life in my whole life.

But apart from these, I don’t have any assets. As long as I leave you, I still have nothing.

But I know very well that I can no longer go back to the past and live the poor life before. "

Julian Ron said, "As long as you are by my side, you can always live like this. I will make you happy forever."

"That's right, as long as I'm by your side...

But what if one day you don't like me anymore? "Anti sat on the ground and sighed, "This makes me feel very insecure.

I don’t want to always look at your mood and rely on your charity. I want to have my own money.

Even without you, I can still live the life I want. "

Julian Ron looked angry, "So, you took advantage of my privilege of not having to go through security checks to bring contraband onto the cruise ship. You betrayed my trust."

"I'm just thinking about my future."

Luke interrupted the conversation between the two and asked Andy, "What contraband did you bring with you for the robbers?"

Andy looked at Luke, "Tell you, what good do I do?"

"As long as you help me catch the other robbers, I can help you turn into a tainted witness."

Andy took a deep breath and said feebly, "Cocaine."

"Are you carrying drugs?"

"Yes."

"Is there a bomb?"

"No."

"Are you using the Silver Cloud cruise ship to transport drugs to Los Angeles?"

"Yes."

"How many drugs are there?"

"Five hundred pounds."

Luke made a rough calculation and found that the cocaine would be worth nearly 50 million US dollars once transported to Los Angeles. No wonder she would take the risk, "How many times has this been smuggling drugs?"

"first."

"Since your purpose is to transport drugs, why did you hijack the cruise ship with great fanfare?"

Andy sighed, "My luggage was placed in the warehouse of the cruise ship, and those stupid pigs were discovered by the security guards when they were packaging the drugs.

Although they shot and killed the security guard, he gave a warning on the intercom before he died.

The captain will definitely send other people to check. The murder of the security guard cannot be hidden at all. Once the cruise captain calls the police, the drug transport will be discovered.

Therefore, we decided to change our plan temporarily and hijack the cruise ship, pretend to rob it, kidnap the passengers, and cover up the true purpose of smuggling drugs.

Then, the hijacked cruise ship is driven to the coast of Mexico, where it will be picked up by a speedboat.

They will use the passengers as hostages and transport the stolen property and drugs back to Mexico to make up for the losses caused by the failed smuggling.

This way my identity will not be exposed. "

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

Before, Luke felt that there was something unreasonable about this cruise ship hijacking case, but after hearing Andy's explanation, it made sense.
