Chapter 43 Tracking

Let's talk about this side of the police station, after the signal was interrupted.

"Hey, Mia!" Sherlock yelled anxiously into the microphone, but didn't respond at all, "What's going on?" He pulled Moz over with such strength that he almost knocked over the table, " Is your device malfunctioning?"

At this moment, he would rather moz tell himself that the tracking device he newly researched is malfunctioning than because of——

Moz checked the signal receiver inside and out, and regretted: "I'm afraid, someone deliberately destroyed that earring."

"You mean Colin found her?"

Sherlock couldn't wait for moz to answer and was already on his way.

"Mr. Holmes, where are you going?" The officer in the command office suddenly stopped him.

"Go find Mia."

"Wait. If Colin found out that Agent Mia contacted us and stopped them, then even if you rushed there now, they would have already moved."

Although the Commander used this set of rhetoric, the real reason in his heart was to prevent Sherlock from taking risks. After all, he was a British citizen, and he joined temporarily through the relationship of Mycroft Holmes, a senior MI[-] official. investigation of this case.In case something happened to Sherlock, he didn't want to be involved in another diplomatic incident.

However, Sherlock is not a person who will listen to persuasion, "If Mia's final location just now is correct, there will definitely be clues left there. Her current whereabouts have been revealed and she has no weapons on her body. If Colin's ultimate goal is to rob prison, That Mia is useless at this moment, she will only be more dangerous. I must find her as soon as possible."

Almost at the same time, there was also a message from the other side. Sure enough, the bombs that Colin preset were found in the several locations that Mia mentioned before. Fortunately, it was early morning, and the nearby police officers had sealed off the area. On the surrounding roads, bomb disposal experts are already on their way.

"Mr. Holmes, please wait a moment." Reid also suddenly stood in front of Sherlock at this moment.

"What?" Sherlock's patience had obviously reached the limit, but out of admiration that the other party was also a genius whose IQ was not inferior to his own, he stopped in his tracks.

"Don't you think that we have overlooked some important details in this case?"

"Huh?" When it came to the reasoning of the case, Rhett finally managed to draw Sherlock's attention back a little. He didn't refute or refuse, but waited for Rhett to continue.

"We have been reasoning before that Colin chose Mia because of the intersection between Mia and Colin Firth three years ago. However, if we think about it from the standpoint of a murderer? Mia also said before that Colin Lin deliberately used a fake map to confuse us and attract our attention for his other purposes.

However, from the several fights with Colin in the past few days, it is not difficult to see how careful and delicate his planning in this case is. A shrewd FBI agent brought to justice, so he is not afraid that the trick of this fake map will be seen through?Or actually—”

"Actually, not only is that map fake, but the other one stored in Colin's computer is also fake." Sherlock has quickly reacted, "He did this on purpose, just to make the entire New York Police Department and The fbi is more confident in the evidence it has."

"But the four bombs were indeed found in the place Agent Mia said, why are they false?" asked a police officer who heard Reid and Sherlock's analysis.

"Go and ask, what is the content of explosives in these newly found bombs?" Sherlock replied, and then he went to sit on the sofa in a corner of the room again, and began to rethink all the neglected facts about this case. message.

until--

"Elia! Elijah Foster (elijah·r)." Sherlock suddenly called out the name.

Mia had also asked about the word elijah before, and it was actually a person's name, but before Sherlock had time to think about it, the call signal was cut off, and Sherlock focused all his attention on Mia's safety. on the question.

"Ilya? Are you talking about that classmate of Colin?" After all, he is also a genius with a photographic memory, and Rhett immediately remembered such a number one person in Colin's files.

The focus of previous investigations has always been on the relationship between Colin and his biological father Bieler, and this person was indeed ignored.

Elijah Foster, one of Corin's best friends from college.

The most important thing is that three months ago, Elijah was arrested for murder, and it seems that the trial will be held in these few days, and the court for the trial is in New York City.

"Mia asked before whether Billel Quinn would be transferred to a local prison today. It should be that she found some clues in Colin's computer. In fact, this time is not about His father Birel's, but Elijah Foster's will be transferred to New York City Court today on time."

The result of this deduction is nothing to be alarmed by the chief of the command office, "No matter who the target of Colin Firth is, we have notified the detention center to strengthen the vigilance."

"No, his target should never have been the detention center."

Sherlock took a new map of New York City and spread it out on the table, marking in red the locations of a total of six bombs, including the ones that had been dismantled and those that Mia provided clues to later, and marking New York City in blue The location of the court.

A line was then drawn in Elia Foster's escort into court from outside the city.

"Is this the route where Ilya was escorted today?" The chief of the command office shook his head. "Impossible. Usually, in order to prevent the prison car from being hijacked, the route of escorting prisoners is kept secret every time."

"No, this is indeed the only route today." Reid also saw Sherlock's meaning, "In fact, all other roads in the city that can lead to the court have been blocked by us."

"..."

"This is New York City. Even if most of the police force and attention in the city are now focused on the few bombs that Colin planted before, Colin can be given enough opportunities to hijack the prison van, but what will happen after he hijacks the prison van single-handedly?" Leaving New York?"

"No, he still has Mia as the last hostage." Hozner took over the conversation at this time, "Although the four bombs are still in the process of being dismantled, the bomb disposal experts have just received news that these days The composition of the explosives in the first bomb was only half that of the previous two."

"You mean that Colin probably still has the fifth bomb?" The chief of the command office began to sweat his palms nervously. The case is really getting more and more dangerous. Where is A. Foster's prison wagon now!"

"I'm afraid time is running out." Sherlock drew another circle somewhere on the map, "Colin should have calculated the precise time a long time ago, since he gave Mia a chance to send us a message, this plan has been The last step has already begun. If my inference is correct, Colin may have arranged the escape route in advance, just like yesterday when he took Mia away when we didn't realize it, he should have used A network of underground sewers."

******************************************************************************

A few minutes later, despite the objections of the commanding officer, Sherlock and members of the bau drove to the deduced hijacking location along with some FBI agents.

When they were one block away from the incident site, they heard the sound of explosions and billowing smoke not far away.

"Has the prison van been hijacked?" The FBI agents in the van started to get a little nervous.

One minute later, the car stopped at the scene of the incident. The prison car rolled over on the side of the road because of the sudden explosion and the attack, and several prison guards were also shot and lost their breath. Elijah Foster didn’t know what to do. More importantly, there were no clues about Mia at the scene.

Sherlock didn't know if he should be lucky at this moment. Although he hoped to get even a little bit of news about Mia at this moment, the lack of clues just means that at least she is still alive and should not be injured.

Colin is already on the way to escape, and it doesn't matter who the hostage is to him, but he can't drag himself down with a wounded person.

Sherlock found a sewer entrance not far away. The manhole cover showed traces of being dragged recently. Sherlock jumped down without hesitation, followed by Morgan and Rhett.

"Be careful!" Morgan took out another gun from his waist and handed it to Sherlock.

They had to find Colin before he came out of the sewers, or he would likely block these exits with the remaining explosives on his body.

Before leaving, both Sherlock and Reid had a rough look at the distribution map of the sewers in New York City, which somewhat helped their search, and——

"It's this way!"

Mia also left some subtle traces on the walls to guide them.

Ten minutes later, Sherlock and his party finally caught up with Colin.

"stop!"

The moment Colin was called to stop, he showed a little surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. He grabbed Mia, put the gun against her neck and turned around slowly, "Oh, I didn't expect that apart from Agent Mia, there would be other not-too-stupid people in the FBI."

"You can't escape Colin Firth, let her go, we can still negotiate terms."

"Let her go? We've come this far, let her go and negotiate terms with you, are you going to give us life imprisonment or the death penalty? I'm not that stupid!"
