Luke glanced at the county police department in the rearview mirror and was about to say something.
Suddenly, a large group of police cars rushed out from the exit of the underground parking lot and headed northwest.
Luke noticed that Big Nick and his men were in one of the black SUVs. "Let's follow them and take a look."
Seven or eight cars had rushed out of the county police department. Something big had to have happened.
It was probably because of this that Luke and Selina had seen Big Nick and his team ready to go earlier.
He wasn't trying to steal any credit; he just wanted to see for himself how Big Nick handled cases.
When they reached a small bank called Piclavie, Luke realized that several police cars from the county police department had already arrived.
A county police helicopter was also hovering in the sky.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department had a special air support department.
It was responsible for fire prevention and disaster relief, as well as possible rescue work, in the mountains of Los Angeles County. They couldn't do it without a helicopter.
To Luke's surprise, there were two FBI agents on the scene.
What kind of major case was it this time? He murmured to himself.
Thinking for a moment, he gestured at Sonia to keep an eye on the surroundings and be on standby.
"Adjust the surveillance to the bank and aim the remote radio equipment at the LASD. Turn on the radio surveillance," said Luke.
Selina quickly operated the tablet on the side and adjusted her earpiece to the radio monitor.
The stereo in the car played the content of the remote radio, but it was very quiet.
It was mainly for Luke to hear. He had good hearing, so it didn't need to be too loud.
Combining the surveillance from all three sides, Luke soon understood what was going on.
Nick's team had been monitoring a bunch of robbers in the bank recently, and the FBI had their eyes on them too.
It was very likely that these robbers were the suspects who had stolen an armored truck and killed four county officers a few days ago. Both sides had their eyes on these repeat criminals.
Suddenly, there was a gunshot.
Luke was stunned for a moment, before he heard Nick and the FBI agent arguing.
At this moment, the two of them were so loud that they didn't even need to keep their voices down. With his acute hearing, he could hear them from dozens of meters away.
One of the hostages was dead!
It was a threat from the robbers, because the county police had just brushed them off and said that they needed to consider their demands — ten million in unnumbered bills and a helicopter with a full tank.
Luke frowned.
These kinds of robbers were the most troublesome. They would kill hostages at the slightest disagreement, creating pressure on the police.
Also, he barely communicated with the county officers, clearly not wanting to give them a chance to chat.
Alright, the more you speak, the more mistakes you make. For a robber, this was an iron rule that he had to remember.
The proverb "villains die of talking too much" is also used in America.
He rolled down the window and started Sharp Nose.
Selina reminded him, "The county police are about to send a helicopter over."
Luke nodded and closed his eyes. A moment later, he opened his eyes and gestured at Sonia and the others to retreat.
The two cars retreated more than twenty meters and hid behind a small building not far away.
Luke was deep in thought. "Selina, under what circumstances would a robber pretend to kill a hostage to threaten the police?"
Selina was going to reply casually that they didn't want to kill anyone. After all, killing someone wasn't on the same level as robbery.
But looking at Luke's expression, she had an idea. "Are they playing tricks?"
Luke said, "Let's wait and see. These guys … Hehe, interesting." That being said, his eyes were very indifferent.
A robber who killed a police officer, and an ordinary patrolman who was carrying out his duties, he would not show mercy to such a person.
Luke didn't open his eyes for several minutes, and simply asked Selina to keep an eye on the surroundings.
Suddenly, there was a boom, and a lot of the glass in the bank broke.
"Are they … blowing up the vault?" Selina exclaimed in surprise.
Luke simply hummed in response and didn't answer the question.
A moment later, he suddenly said, "Selina, tell Sonia and the others to follow us."
Selina simply gestured at Sonia's car, and Luke turned the car around and drove west.
After driving for a while, Luke stopped the car and checked a spot on the side of the road. He then asked Selina to give Sonia a walkie-talkie and a headset. "We're going to check out the robbers. Be careful not to expose yourselves. These guys are probably from the regular army. They're too ruthless."
Sonia: "What?" She didn't expect that to be the reason why Luke had left so mysteriously.
While the LAPD officers were still arguing, her amazing colleague was already leading them to the robbers.
Thinking that, Sonia's palms were sweating both nervously and excitedly.
The robbers weren't easy to deal with, and this was definitely a big case.
While it might be dangerous to participate in a case like this with Luke, it would undoubtedly be much safer than with anyone else.
After all, Luke was the best detective in Westside, and even in LAPD.
The two cars were a hundred meters away from each other through the walkie-talkie.
Luke didn't count on Sonia and the others to back him up.
Sonia was a twenty-four-year-old black woman with the most beautiful features. She had a broad chest and strong thighs and buttocks, but her partner, Alessandro, wasn't so lucky.
But her partner, Alessandro, was pitiful. Luke felt that one Sonia could beat two Alessandros.
So, it would be better for Luke and the others to follow them and keep an eye on the situation.
As Luke had said earlier, the robbers were probably from the regular army. With Sonia's combat skills, they might be killed instantly.
Luke didn't want another detective to die in the line of duty like the Texas Ranger and LAPD.
"Don't be rash and don't act rashly. Follow my instructions," said Luke.
"Got it." Sonia's reply was very natural, as if it were Dustin who had spoken. She didn't feel any disgust or discomfort at all.
As he spoke, Luke sped up and stopped a hundred meters away from a building after several kilometers.
Looking at the building, he narrowed his eyes.
It was the Federal Reserve's Los Angeles branch!
Selina also looked at the building. "What's their real target?"
Her brain had become more and more agile as she followed Luke, and she easily came up with a formula: bank robbers + escape = deception + real target.
She was shocked when she saw the sign on the building. "Are they crazy? This is a bank of banks. No one has ever robbed it before. "
