Chapter 2045 Robbery
The Los Angeles Police Department is the only police force in the United States that can compete with the New York Police Department.
There are many immigrants, many wealthy people, and many slums here. Without a strong police force, Los Angeles would have been in chaos long ago.
But the world is changing. With the emergence of mutants, the crime rate in Los Angeles has begun to show an upward trend.
This has made the Los Angeles police force, which once kept the Blades at bay, a bit stretched.
The establishment of the Mutant Union solved part of the problem for them, but the bad guys are always bad guys, and the damage caused by bad guys who gain abilities increases exponentially.
The worst part is that these bad guys won't take advantage of the poor people, and the wealthy people in Los Angeles are starting to suffer.
As soon as the rich man is unlucky, the pressure from the police will follow!
The alien spacecraft that fell down during the Earth's first official alien invasion turned a small half of the Los Angeles area into ruins.
This became the last straw for the Los Angeles Police Department...
Riots, robberies, murders, and kidnappings were seen everywhere. It was not until the underground emperor of Los Angeles, Kingpin, completely intervened that things began to calm down a little.
This was not Kingpin's initiative to help. In fact, he had already tried it, but the effect was very bad.
But this time the chaotic actions of those poor people harmed the interests of the gang. They did not dare to go into battle to fight aliens, but to beat up a bunch of poor people, the gangsters did not even need to use their weapons.
You can imagine how much pressure the Los Angeles police are under during this time...
The emergence of Ryan with the "Super Hero Company" has become another "problem-solving method" in the eyes of many big shots.
The background of the World Security Council, the attributes of the company, and its extremely powerful combat capabilities made the Los Angeles Congress very satisfied.
This entertainment city has been overshadowed by New York in recent years...
Despite New York's troubles, development there is very rapid.
Thanks to various wars, New York's infrastructure construction has far surpassed other cities in the United States.
Coupled with the fact that there are several super companies there that refuse to move no matter what, and Wall Street that insists on staying in Manhattan, New York has become the de facto center of the United States.
Los Angeles is not a simple city, but a city agglomeration, where elites from all over the world gather, and the politicians here are also ambitious.
In order to get rid of the destruction after the war as soon as possible, they urgently need to rebuild the confidence of the people.
"Safety" was put on the table at this time, and Ryan's "Super Hero Company" got on board the ship of Los Angeles.
To be fair, Johnny Stone's ability is very powerful. There are not many people in the world who can defeat him. With a group of carefully selected powerful mutants, the "Super Hero Company" can easily obtain politicians. favor.
A security outsourcing service company, including subsidies from the World Security Council, the Los Angeles city government only needs to pay a small part of the money to make full use of these "superhuman" powers.
Who can refuse such a good thing?
It's a pity that the politicians here underestimated the ability of those "superheroes" to make trouble. They did stupid things in their first official public appearance.
Without any systematic law enforcement training, these unruly guys easily offended all the residents in those ten blocks.
It was not just Kassel who was beaten, but also many passers-by. Local residents were violently treated for this.
Of course "Superman" takes everything for granted when fighting crime!
Before the bank robbers were caught, commotion began in the blocked neighborhood.
Ryan was anxiously discussing countermeasures with the media and Los Angeles executives. He didn't understand. The action seemed to be fine, but the result was a little different from what he imagined.
As the on-site conductor of "Super Hero Company", Johnny Stone himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
I'm doing good things, and if you dare to talk nonsense during this period, I'll smash your face!
Although Johnny doesn't want to admit it, he is indeed deeply influenced by Hell's Kitchen, and he always unconsciously imitates Alvin's way of acting.
It's a pity that he can't always find his own position. The people in Hell's Kitchen can do this, because people's expectations for the people in Hell's Kitchen are not high, because the people there are all bad guys and bastards, but the people from "Super Hero Company" It’s not the same thing when people do this.
Compared to Ryan's distress on the outside, Johnny on the inside is much more relaxed.
The media who gathered near the bank to broadcast the rescue operation were so excited that they almost flew into the air.
The guys who robbed the bank this time were so fierce in their firepower that the police who surrounded the bank entrance were so suppressed that they could hardly raise their heads. It was not until Johnny arrived with his team that the situation began to reverse.
Hancock, the tall black guy, withstood the rifle fire and threw a car in front of the bank with one hand. He set up a position to provide shelter for the police and an opportunity for the negotiators to approach and shout. .
Johnny and the captain of the Los Angeles SWAT police were together, looking at the internal structure diagram of the bank, while discussing a plan to rescue the hostages.
Compared to the chaos outside, this place seems orderly...
The only thing that makes Johnny feel embarrassed is that he is really not good at "rescuing hostages", and there is no one in his team who is good at this kind of work.
Hancock abandoned the last car and gave the bank robbers a middle finger. Then he walked to Johnny and said, "We are so stupid. There are nearly 60 hostages in the bank. You can't do anything." Rescue them all without any loss.
Either attack by force, or agree to the other party's request and let them come out.
They can't take all the hostages with them. If we let them go, the pressure on us will be much less. "
The captain of the Los Angeles SWAT team looked at Hancock and said in disbelief: "You want to have a road war with these banks? In this case, we can't care about the safety of the hostages at all.
If they ask for a school bus or a bus and take 20 hostages on the road at the same time, we have no chance at all..."
Hancock shrugged his shoulders and said, "What do you think we should do? I have received hostage rescue training and have been in actual combat many times.
My experience tells me that the longer it takes, the worse it is for us. "
As he spoke, Hancock looked at the hesitant Johnny and said in a deep voice: "Give me a gun, I can rush in with the SWAT police, and I will be responsible for opening the way.
The robbers here are all desperadoes. There is no death penalty in California. I can tell you responsibly that it is impossible to rescue people without casualties.
We can only keep casualties to a minimum..."
Johnny thought for a long time, imagining what the people of Hell's Kitchen would do if they encountered this situation?
It seems that what Hancock said is correct...
After hesitating for a moment, Johnny said: "We will attack head-on. Ava, the Sonic Girl, can shatter the exterior glass of the bank. You and I plus Tyrannosaurus Johnson use shields to cover the SWAT shooting."
As he spoke, Johnny looked at the SWAT captain beside him and said, "There are only six robbers. How quickly can you deal with them?"
The SWAT captain looked at Johnny like a god and said, "What on earth are you thinking? A bomb has been planted inside the bank...
Now that the position has been set up, let us first let the negotiators test it out to see what is going on inside and what do the robbers want to do?
Their actions are very unusual. At least I have never seen any robbers who did not run away when they had the chance, but stayed in the bank to confront the police.
I don't believe those robbers will blow themselves up, but those hostages can't take risks.
Attacking by force is the worst option. I would rather try climbing in through the ventilation duct. "
The inexperienced Johnny smiled awkwardly, and finally looked at Hancock helplessly and said, "What should we do now?"
Hancock shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "If I were to take command, I would choose to attack by force. I don't believe those robbers would blow themselves up.
The purpose of these people is not simply to rob banks. There are smart people there. If you want to be smarter than them, you are acting at his pace.
The consequences of being led by someone's nose are usually very miserable..."
Hancock's soldier mentality is really not suitable for this kind of scene, but what he said is right. The situation in the bank is very complicated. What the robbers want is not simple banknotes at all. They are planning something else. .
They were acting with a plan. Only by simplifying complex problems could they solve this situation. Unfortunately, neither Johnny nor the SWAT captain dared to take risks.
When the media is broadcasting live, their first responsibility is to protect the safety of the hostages, and they can put their hands on pursuing the robbers.
As for the bank’s losses, aren’t there insurance companies?
The direct intervention of the media has made the fight for the reputation of "Super English Company" more constrained.
Just when Johnny and the others were at a loss, their radio station suddenly sounded a voice processed by a voice changer...
“We want a bus, fill it with gas, and put 10 million in cash on it.
We also have you releasing Anthony Moriti, who is in prison only 40 minutes away.
Meet all our demands, and we will set off with 30 hostages. As soon as we are safe, we will release these hostages.
Give you one hour. Beyond this time, we will kill a hostage every 10 minutes. "
After the robber finished speaking, as if to prove his determination, he fired a shot, causing a scream.
The angry Johnny hit the armored car next to him hard, making a red dent in the thick steel plate.
Then he looked at the SWAT captain and said, "Who the hell is this Anthony Moriti?"
…………
When Johnny was at a loss, Alvin had arrived at the Santa Monica Coast Police Department.
Jin Bin's sentence has not yet ended, and it is not convenient for him to appear in public places like the police station.
However, his team of lawyers arrived very quickly. In less than half an hour, a team of ten lawyers had already gathered at this unfortunate police station.
When Alvin arrived, they had already gone through the bail procedures for Cassel, and are now cooperating with Cassel to put pressure on the police station...
Stark was sitting in the lobby of the police station, looking up at the TV screen on the wall, where a live broadcast of the bank robbery was being played.
I watched JJ pick up a vending machine and shake it when no one was paying attention, and then took out a lot of snacks from it with a smile...
Alvin shook his head funny, then sat next to Stark, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Iron Man wants to set out to save the world?
I thought you should buy this police station now and kick these guys out. "
Stark ignored Alvin's teasing, he frowned and shook his head, saying: "I always found this kind of limelight thing very interesting in the past!
But now it seems that it is really stupid to let the media intervene in the case handling process!
I just saw Johnny Stone, and I didn't expect him to be one of the leaders of that "Super Hero Company".
But now he's in trouble! "
Alvin glanced curiously. The reporter above was excitedly describing the conditions proposed by the bank robbers. Then he seemed to be the commander of the scene, constantly telling his own ideas and plans.
Looking at the expressions of those policemen in the background of the TV who dared to be angry but dared not speak, Alvin frowned and said, "Are these guys all trash?
Those were just a few bank robbers. I put up with them a little bit because I didn't want to hinder their work. They're just going to show me this? "
As Alvin tasted the conditions of the bank robbers, he said funnyly: "These guys are actually quite loyal. They don't forget to fish out their accomplices when they rob the bank."
