Chapter 799: Fish on the Hook and Full Preparation
There was a joke on the Internet in Jack's previous life, saying that the last thing a person should do before dying is to clear his computer hard drive and browser bookmarks.
The content of the computer in Inspector Perroni's office was already quite exciting, and the content on the mobile phone was even more explosive. Jubal even felt that it was necessary to have a good chat with the department responsible for child pornography, because the protagonists of some of the content were obviously underage.
However, these things are not the focus at the moment, and they are not serious enough to be exaggerated. At noon, the command car of the wanted criminal team stopped in front of Ray Higgins's house in Woose Town.
Hannah was busy holding a certain inspector's mobile phone and breathed a sigh of relief, "The Trojan program was cracked by Alice. Gabriel is very smart. He has been wandering around Newark and using the free Wi-Fi provided by places such as park cafes to surf the Internet."
"So without using the local police force, the best way is to lure him out, right?" Jubal thought.
The reason why the FBI did not want to use the assistance of local police forces was, of course, to fear that the previous incident would happen again, but the quality of the police officers in the Newark Police Department was indeed hard to describe.
The night before yesterday, multiple police officers fired more than 20 shots without warning, but Gabriel still escaped without even a scratch on his skin.
"I never lied to Gabriel, and this makes me feel very bad." Ray Higgins, sitting on the sofa in the living room, looked a little ugly.
Jack smiled and comforted him, "You are just informed at most. I am more professional in deceiving people." He turned his head and looked at Aubrey who was sitting in front of the computer, "Are you ready?"
"Ready, great writer." Aubrey cracked his fingers lightly, and his joints made a crisp sound.
"You know I just talked to Gabriel on the phone this morning, and it didn't go well. He's out of control and no longer the kid I knew. Things are going to get worse. I can't help but wonder what he'd do to me if he knew what I'd done to him."
After Jack dictated the contents of the email, Aubrey stopped typing and looked at him, "Is that all?"
"Of course not. Insert this reply into the quoted past email: Mr. Higgins, thank you for agreeing not to testify at Officer Gabriel Clark's hearing.
The committee can understand that just a letter of support instead of being there in person means that even you, as his mentor, do not support his version of the drug raid."
A forged email containing past chat records was released. Aubrey turned the screen toward the old sheriff and waited for him to finish reading it before asking, "Is that all right?"
"Whatever. If you ignore the content, even I can't find any problems." Ray Higgins sighed and sat back on the sofa.
Aubrey clicked the send button and took a deep breath, "I hope the fish will take the bait."
"All we have to do next is wait for the call." Jack put the phone he used for communication on the table and looked at the old sheriff, "Where is your kitchen? I hope the lunch I cooked can make you feel better."
"I hope so." Ray Higgins pointed in a direction.
——
An hour later, several steaming hot quick dishes were served on the table, including a meatball soup, crab roe tofu made with salted egg yolk pretending to be crab roe, cold okra, seafood mixed vegetables, hot peppers and eggs, mushroom chicken, and a few extra pancakes fried in the morning as the staple food.
Jack used local ingredients and the inventory in the refrigerator of the command vehicle to make a simple five-course soup.
Perhaps delicious food can really improve people's mood. Ray Higgins seemed to be more relaxed than before. Only his glance at the phone on the table from time to time revealed his uneasy heart at this time.
A ringing sound came, and everyone present looked at their phones. Hannah, who was standing by the computer, quickly put on the monitoring headphones.
Ray Higgins was about to reach out to answer the call, but Jack raised his hand to hold it down, signaling him to be patient. After waiting for a few seconds, he pressed the call button, "Hello?"
"It's me, Gabriel Clark, the FBI guy, let me talk to Ray." Gabriel's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"OK, wait a minute."
Jack handed the phone to Ray Higgins, and after waiting for a moment, he nodded, indicating that he could speak.
Ray Higgins asked impatiently, "It's me, Gabe, are you okay?"
Gabriel's voice was low, "I'm not feeling well. This matter has exhausted me physically and mentally. I'm tired of it. I just reconsidered what you said before, about those things that were overdone, so I decided to surrender.
But tell the FBI guys that I can only surrender to you, and I choose the place, go east on Highway 40, and I will contact you when the time comes."
"He took the bait and set a trap after seeing the email." Hannah took off her headphones and confirmed.
Clay couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He was so happy in his heart. He was almost, just a little bit, he was going to go back to New York to take care of the baby alone in advance.
"He used all the things he learned in the police academy. If he doesn't tell us the meeting place, we can't arrange reinforcements in advance."
Jack was thinking about another problem, and cast his eyes on Jubal, "Find a substitute for Ray in the Newark office. No one here is close to his body shape."
"No, I have to go in person. I was a policeman, and I know how chaotic it will be." Ray Higgins stood up immediately.
"I have to be there in person. Please, Gabe is like my son, I don't want to see him."
Seeing that the old man began to choke up, Jack didn't know what to say. Although he did not intend to kill Gabriel on the spot, it did not mean that he was really tied up. First of all, he had to be responsible for the lives of his teammates, and then consider other things.
"OK, but I have to drive your car, and all actions must be under my command."
"I'll ask the Newark office to send a helicopter to follow you." Jubal would never intervene in this kind of operation, and everything was arranged by Jack.
Jack took the car keys handed over by Ray Higgins, turned around and asked Clay, "Are all the things ready?"
"Of course, Benelli M4 shotgun and 12-gauge Hupper-Sock bean bag bullets, I tested a few rounds, and there is no problem at a distance of ten meters." Clay showed the thing in his hand.
On the other side, Ray Higgins, who was putting on a bulletproof vest with the help of Jiejie, saw this scene, and his originally nervous face relaxed slightly. However, he didn't know that Hannah, who was hiding in the command car at this moment, was checking her G28E.
Beanbag bullets are a kind of non-lethal ammunition that has become popular again in recent years. The 12-gauge Hupper-Sock beanbag bullets have been improved to some extent, replacing the original large grains of lead sand with nylon bags filled with rubber balls.
Compared with rubber bullets that still have a certain lethality, beanbag bullets will undergo a great deformation when hitting the human body, increasing the contact surface, causing more pain while reducing the lethality. Even if it hits the torso, it is not easy to cause fatal injuries.
However, the defects of this ammunition are also obvious, that is, the effective range is too short. If the distance exceeds 20 meters, let alone hitting accurately, because of the characteristics of the ammunition itself, the air resistance will directly reduce the power of the ammunition to almost nothing.
In fact, the worried Ray Higgins should be more worried about the problem of bulletproof vests at this time, because he didn't know that Jack, who drove him, was not only good at cooking, but also had already practiced American Iai to perfection.
If Gabriel Clarke showed up wearing a bulletproof vest, he would be dead for sure, because the beanbag bullets prepared for him would be completely useless.
Once the two sides engaged in a firefight, Jack's powerful 10mm Auto bullet would not hesitate to decide whether to penetrate the bulletproof vest and make a big hole in his chest or directly open his skull, depending on the distance between the two sides. Hannah, who was ambushing in the distance, would never show mercy either.
