John couldn't stand steadily. With a miserable smile, he slowly lowered the UMP in his hand and finally tossed it aside.
Hans smiled. "That's right. It's better to just die like this. You son of a b * tch, you killed so many of my men. Now, you b * tch … "
Bang!
Suddenly, a white shadow flew at him from behind and hit the back of his head.
Hans's eyes rolled back and he passed out on the ground.
John was stunned. Was that … a baseball?
Looking at Hans, who had fainted, he felt awkward.
Underneath his hands, a Beretta 92F was taped to his back. That was his real trump card.
Luke, however, smiled and walked out from behind a cement pillar. "Hoho, I'm so happy to see that you're fine, Detective John."
John was astonished. "You …" How did you know that I was fine? I'm covered in wounds right now!
Luke spread his hands. "There's nothing I can do. Hans can't die. LAPD needs him alive to stand trial. So, I had to knock him out first. "
Suddenly, he raised his left hand, and the M1911 in his hand popped.
In the Ford, a black man's head slumped against the steering wheel, and the M1911 slipped to his side.
Looking at the couple, who were still in a daze, Luke couldn't help but remind them, "You can take care of each other. John seems to be in a lot of pain."
John's face instantly changed when he said that.
He had been holding on purely on his last breath just now.
Now that Hans was unconscious and the other criminals didn't seem to be moving, John finally couldn't hold back the excruciating pain all over his body and abruptly sat down.
Luke had no choice but to help John sit down behind a cement pillar in the distance, in case a half-dead criminal popped out of the van and shot him. Holly followed him, and the couple finally stopped arguing.
Without looking at the van, Luke simply called Dustin. "Boss, it's done."
Dustin asked, "What?"
Luke said, "I've caught Hans Gruber, the criminal leader. I've sent all the hostages to the rooftop to wait for the plane. I didn't count the number of robbers, but I think there are around thirty casualties. "
Dustin gasped and looked at the time. It's only been an hour since the last call, and it's already over?
"Are you sure?" He couldn't help but repeat.
Luke thought for a moment and said, "Have the SWAT team come in through the entrance of the underground parking lot. I've got this place under control. I haven't checked the first floor yet, so we can't rule out the possibility that criminals are hiding there. Oh, by the way, they seem to have brought a lot of C4s with them. "
Dustin agreed repeatedly.
Luke thought for a moment, then reminded her, "But there's a small accident."
Dustin grew nervous. "Is the hostage dead?"
Luke said, "In any case, I didn't see any hostages die, but at least ten robbers were killed by Detective John McClane from New York's Major Crimes Division. He played a major role in Hans's arrest."
Dustin gritted his teeth. "What? Where did such a person come from? "
Luke said, "Because his wife was an executive at Nakatomi Corporation who was robbed. He happened to be on leave today and came to visit his wife."
"F * ck!" Dustin couldn't help but curse.
This time, a lot of the credit was going to go to Luke.
Looking at Detective John's miserable appearance, Luke felt that it wasn't very nice of him to ask John to divert the enemy's attention.
Although the outcome was a good one, and Luke had helped to save John's wife, Detective John's contribution couldn't be ignored.
Also, if Luke didn't ask John to share the enemy's attention, Luke would probably be annoyed to death by the two branches. If the two branches wanted to fight for credit, they would have to wrangle with NYPD first.
It was always easier for an internal department to compromise when there was an external enemy.
Besides, Luke didn't care about credit at all. What he wanted was experience and credit.
Dustin's side moved quickly.
In less than ten minutes, the SWAT team opened the door to the underground parking lot, and a bunch of people came in.
Luke was very comforted. The commander had grown up! He had dared to charge in with just eight people earlier, and now he knew how to mobilize a large team?
When Luke saw them coming, he had dropped all his weapons except his gun.
The SWAT team didn't press him to the ground and rub him against the ground. One of them, who was obviously their leader, looked at him and said, "Luke Coulson?"
Luke showed him the badge that he had hung on his chest. The man glanced at it and knew that it was him. He saluted him and said, "Thank you for your contribution in this operation."
"You're welcome." Luke nodded with a smile. He was in a good mood.
He gestured at the two men next to him. "This is Detective John McClane of NYPD. He's seriously injured and should be sent to the hospital. Next to him is his wife, Ms. Holly."
The head of the SWAT team didn't say anything and simply nodded.
Luke patted the Ford next to him and said, "Also, this car is worth 640 million. You have to protect it."
The head of the SWAT team was stunned. "What?"
Luke said, "These criminals are after the bonds in the car. They robbed Nakatomi Corporation's treasury. There are bonds worth 640 million dollars in the car. Don't lose them, or nobody will be able to bear the consequences. "
Of course the head of the SWAT team understood that.
The robbers had stolen the bonds because they had a plan, and because Nakatomi Corporation's security hadn't been careful.
But if the bonds were lost under the police's control, a lot of LAPD executives would be in trouble.
The head of the SWAT team hurriedly had a squad guard the Ford.
Luke suddenly remembered that he had left two people upstairs. He hurriedly said, "I have to go up. Two important people are hiding upstairs."
The head of the SWAT team frowned. "You can have our men rescue them."
Luke said, "One of them is on the 21st floor, and the other is on the 23rd. I told them not to come out until I'm there. "
The head of the SWAT team thought for a moment, then summoned two of his men and had them go up with Luke.
A moment later, Luke returned with Takagi and Jimena. The head of the SWAT team couldn't help but ask, "Who are they?"
He also wanted to know who this amazing young detective was hiding.
Luke said, "This is Mr. Takagi, the CEO of Nakatomi Corporation who was robbed. This is Jimena, my girlfriend. She's currently an intern at Nakatomi Corporation. "
The head of the SWAT team asked suspiciously, "So, you're actually here to spend Christmas Eve with your girlfriend?"
Luke nodded matter-of-factly. "That's right. Why else would I come to the central district to eliminate criminals?"
The head of the SWAT team was lost for words.
