[Comprehensive British and American Drama] Vibrant Soul

"It seems that when we catch him, we can directly save the time of interrogation." The expression on Victor's face finally relaxed a little, "Then what are we waiting for, time is running out, we should start immediately Go ahead and search. Hodge, I don't think you will object to this proposal."

Huo Qi pondered for a while, and then said: "Yes. However, Victor, just to be on the safe side, we'd better be careful. In case the other party is on guard, no matter whether the people in this building are taken as hostages or If there are any other arrangements, our subsequent actions will be very passive."

Victor finally regained his usual calm this time: "I will pay attention, Hodge, after all, I don't want to be led by the nose all the time."

"Hmph, hehehehe... Come on quickly, I've been waiting for you here, at least, don't make me feel too boring." The mysterious man looked at Huo Qi on the screen , while smiling sinisterly, opened another laptop.

And at the same time that the laptop was opened and woken up, a digitally simulated mechanical dial was immediately displayed on the computer screen, and the pointer on the dial was moving vigorously.Right below the dial, a string of red numbers is counting down rhythmically following the rotation of the dial.

The time displayed by the red numbers at this moment is 25 minutes and 44 seconds.

Search operations quickly began on the lowest floors of the dilapidated apartment building.

Hodge, Rossi, and Victor each lead two teams to separate the rooms on each floor from the north-south stairs and the emergency escape stairs on each floor, and then start to investigate door by door. stand up.

However, at the beginning, the progress of the investigation was extremely slow.

All kinds of low- and middle-income people live in this dilapidated apartment. They didn't have any good impressions of the police and the FBI, and the police's complete blockade of the apartment early tonight made them feel uneasy. The accumulated resentment reached a peak.

Facing this search, the resentment was released all at once.

The older people adopted a policy of non-cooperation and non-resistance, while the more impulsive young people blocked the door of their own homes very directly. No matter how Hodge and Rossi explained and persuaded them, they would not Assist or give in the slightest, and even, some people roared at the police officers on the spot, and the loud roar spread far away, which even aroused the reaction of the residents on the upper floor.

"A murder case just happened here. Here are our search warrants and documents. We are handling the case according to the law. If you continue to not cooperate like this, you will have to bear all the consequences yourself!" Looking at the chaotic After a while, Victor became a little anxious.

"We're not afraid of you at all. If you want to make a big mess, then come!" Victor's attitude aroused the tenants' hatred, and some tenants who didn't intend to insist on it also began to resist and become tough. .

"Everyone, please calm down and listen to me. This murderer has already killed more than one innocent person, and his methods are very cruel. If we let him escape like this today, he will hurt more people and Family, I think, you all probably don't want to see such a result." Rossi tried hard to explain.

"We don't believe what you say, the FBI or anything else, you white people can't tell what kind of lies for your own benefit! Everyone, he is confusing the public, let's not just shrink back like this, or they will put us After the division, our ending will be very tragic!" The tenants refused to accept it.

The situation reached a stalemate.

Seeing such a situation, the mysterious person in the dark room was almost overjoyed.

Harold, who was still checking the data in Ivanov's computer, suddenly noticed something was wrong. Being cautious, he immediately adjusted his posture slightly, covered the computer screen lightly, and then started what he was best at. .

Lena and Red soon learned of Hodge's predicament from the walkie-talkie.

"If we don't go, let's help. Although I don't know if it will be useful, it is always good to have one more person." Reina's proposal was immediately agreed by Reid.

Reina came behind Harold and was about to talk to Harold, but at this moment, she felt her cell phone vibrate slightly.

Lena immediately took out her mobile phone, and found that the person who sent the text message turned out to be Harold who was close to her.

Lena glanced at Harold's back suspiciously, and her unique vigilance made her immediately calm down, then adjusted the angle of the phone and opened the text message.

"All our actions are being monitored, and the channel of the police walkie-talkie is also being monitored, but the mobile phone is temporarily safe, so try to use text messages to contact us. There may be traps here, so be careful."

The moment she saw the contents of the text message, Reina couldn't help but feel her heart tighten.

Lena put the phone away as naturally as possible, and when she raised her eyes, Reid did the same, and Lena knew it right away.

At the same time, Hodge, Rossi and Victor also received the same text message.

The moment they looked up after reading the text message, the three of them saw the same awareness in each other's eyes.

"Forcibly search immediately, and if anyone does not cooperate, they will be arrested immediately for obstructing law enforcement!" Victor sternly ordered, "After each room is checked, immediately invite people to the police station. Now everyone here has They may be suspects, I will interrogate them one by one in the future!"

"Yes, sir!" Despite being a little astonished, Victor's order was quickly carried out by the police officers and special police officers. Amidst the chaos and noise, the people in the three rooms were subdued immediately, and then , After the rational search of the room was completed, the people in the three rooms were forcibly taken out of the apartment building.

The noise gradually turned from near to far, and after a sharp scream, it completely disappeared. Then, with the siren sounding, a police prison car drove away quickly.

Seeing the police's tough attitude and actions, the tough guys who were still clamoring just now immediately weakened one by one.

"Speed ​​up." Victor brushed past Hodge and Rosie, and sprinted towards the other side of the apartment building.

"Hmph, you're doing pretty well." The mysterious man glanced at the numbers in the countdown, and slightly twitched the corner of his mouth.

The time displayed by the red numbers: 16 minutes and 13 seconds.

Reese, who had just arrived near here, also received a text message from Harold at the same time.

"Mr. Reese, a trap has been set in the apartment building where I am now, and the entire building and Shaw are also being monitored by unknown persons, so please do not enter within half a kilometer of this location. The picture below is to connect this building The building's underground water channel and gas pipeline map, time is tight, I haven't been able to find the location of the other party, in order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, I can only ask you to enter from the nearest entrance and conduct investigations. Thank you."

Looking at the three words "Harold" on the signature, Reese couldn't help sighing softly, and stepped on the accelerator of the car at the same time.

Xiao, who had been monitoring the movement on the opposite floor, suddenly felt the phone vibrate on his chest.

After three short, three long, and three short shocks, Xiao couldn't help cursing "SHIT!" in his heart, adjusted the sniper scope to the position he needed, and started searching.

The investigation in the apartment building is still continuing.

After more than ten minutes of difficult and cautious work, the three of Huo Qi finally carried out their work to the end of the second floor.

Prison cars drove away one after another, but the three of Huo Qi did not dare to stop at all. There were still three floors to be investigated, and the unknown murderer had no clues to be found. The more peaceful the work ahead, Huo Qi He and Rossi felt more and more unable to settle down in their hearts.

In the room where Harold was, Lena and Reid had followed Harold's text message instructions calmly to determine the location of the hidden pinhole camera and its shooting blind spot. However, with the intrusion into each other's Harold, who was monitoring the system, discovered more, but Reina and Reid almost felt a little desperate: the entire apartment building was actually being monitored by the other party.

The investigation in the apartment building is still not over. Under the premise that it is absolutely impossible to startle the snake, it is neither possible to conduct a search outside of the investigation in a big way, nor can it find any clues to determine the real intention of the other party. Accompanying Harold who is walking the tightrope, Lena and Rhett racked their brains but failed to come up with a solution that got the best of both worlds.

And the mysterious man in the dark room, while watching the movement of the apartment building, glanced at the countdown red numbers from time to time. Excited, he seemed to be impatient, playing with the number from just now. He picked up a broken mobile phone that had been on his right hand from the beginning.

The time displayed by the red numbers: 6 minutes and 24 seconds.

"Bang!" At the moment when the mysterious man was so excited that he couldn't hold back, a big gap was suddenly opened in the thick darkness behind him.

Along with the wooden door being kicked away, Rees, who was on high alert, walked in slowly with a pistol in his hand.

"No matter who you are, stand up immediately with your head in your hands, and then get out of there. Remember, don't act rashly." Rees stood still a few meters away from the seat where the mysterious man was sitting, and said lightly at the same time.

"Do you think you can easily do what you said?" The mysterious man didn't have any intention of obeying Reese's words.

"If your barrier is just these trash, I advise you to give up on it." Xiao, who had been watching the apartment building through the sniper scope on the surveillance screen, suddenly appeared at the door. While throwing the two strong men she had been dragging on the ground, she clapped her hands and said lightly.
