Chapter 307 Traitor
The eldest lady put aside all her doubts for the time being. She took out her wand and secretly cast a large-scale deflection spell on the police, which could reduce their chances of being shot.
Things had already developed to this point, and there was not much she could do. Although she could resolve the dispute by waving her wand, it would be too eye-catching.
In fact, it was a miracle for others to see her drive the police car out in the hail of bullets. Any police officer who came to support did not think there would be any living people in the car.
But after seeing Ellie get out of the car unscathed, their faces were full of surprise. If it weren't for the gunshots that continued to echo in their ears, I'm afraid many people would have shouted God bless and prayed.
Fortunately, they had no time to continue to be surprised. Superintendent Rayburn's loud shouts and orders made these well-trained police officers quickly join the battle.
Reiben and Harris hid behind their police cars, which had been modified and had reinforced doors that could withstand the shooting of some small-caliber firearms.
They placed the police cars across the road to form a barrier, but the opponent's firepower was too strong and they could not fight back. Fortunately, Reiben had applied to the director for SWAT support before, but those SWAT officers were placed at the end of the queue to prevent the action from being exposed.
Not long after, the SWAT officers joined the battle. With the support of firepower, the mob on the opposite side was quickly defeated.
The next step was to clean up the scene. Reiben handed the matter over to Harris and walked towards Ellie.
"What happened? Miss Nix." He glanced at Worm and Tom sitting in the car.
"I was attacked." Ellie replied, "It's hard to tell, but the attackers should be related to Frank's disappearance."
The superintendent looked at the chaotic street behind him depressedly, and he muttered: "Damn it, how should I write a report?"
...
Lanni was about to lose his patience. He didn't understand why the police here didn't let him make a phone call. Even if he was a suspect, he would have a chance to call his lawyer, not to mention that he was not.
Before deciding to go with the police, the three of them discussed it. Lanni quickly made up a lie. He said that he was inexplicably attacked by three gangsters. The cashier of the supermarket could testify to this.
His companion, Xing Ze, rushed into the supermarket to help, but was forced back by the gun in the hands of the gangsters. After firing the gun, the gangsters fled in a panic. Lanni insisted that the two guns found at the scene belonged to the gangsters.
"I've read the transcript, Mr. Lanny. But I'd like to ask you to go to the scene again."
"The scene?" Lanny frowned. "Officer, I don't think it's necessary. I've told you everything I know."
Coben saw that Lanny's tone was impatient, so he comforted him: "Of course, of course. You have to know, sir, Telford is a quiet town, with only a few thefts every month. But now, three armed thugs are committing crimes here unscrupulously.
"For God's sake, we can't tolerate this kind of thing. So every detail is crucial to us. The cashier said that one of the guns at the scene was yours, sir. Of course, the poor guy might have been scared and misjudged. But..."
Lanny understood what the other party meant. The gun was indeed a problem, but this problem could be solved by his connections. Just give him a call.
Damn, it's just a phone call. He cursed fiercely in his heart, but his face remained calm and said: "Can I make a call first, officer?"
"Oh, call after you go to the scene. "
Lanni was not expecting this answer, and he didn't give the other party a good look, "What? You know I have the right to call, right?"
"I understand, I understand, sir. But I still insist on going to the scene first."
Lanni noticed something was wrong, he looked around, and then looked at the police officer in front of him, "After going to the scene, call?"
"Yes, sir, I promise."
Lanni nodded, "Okay, let's go. Oh, the Oriental man who came in with me is called Xing Ze, is he coming with him?"
"Yes, that's right. And the girl, I remember her name is Selina. As I said before, we need any details. "
Lanni didn't ask any more questions, he followed Cobain out of the interrogation room and came to the parking lot. The young police officer who took his statement before was bringing Xing Ze and Selina here.
"There are limited police cars, I'm afraid you have to squeeze in."
Lanni nodded and asked casually: "Officer Cobain, you said before that you have notified my friends in the hotel? ”
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
“No, it’s okay, I just wondered why they haven’t come yet.”
“Oh, I don’t know. I told them that it would be best if they had someone come.”
Lenny got in the back seat, and soon Xingze and Selina got in.
The young police officer sat in the passenger seat, handed Cobain a cigarette and said, “The director sent people to the station and the main intersection to see if they can catch those three bastards.”
Cobain took the cigarette and put it to his ear, then started the car, “There’s not much hope, if they wanted to run, they would have run long ago.”
A few minutes later, Lanny, who was sitting in the back seat, shouted, “Hey, isn’t this the way to the supermarket? Where are you taking us?”
“Don’t get excited, guys.” Cobain laughed cheerfully.
Lanni wanted to open the door and get out of the car, but found that the door was locked. He leaned forward and reached out to grab the iron fence separating the front and back, but a pistol appeared in front of him.
The young police officer changed his kind face and warned coldly: "Be quiet, I promise you will be fine."
Lanni reluctantly shrank back. He felt the coldness of winter from the young man.
There are traitors among the police. He vaguely noticed it, but he didn't expect them to bring them out so openly.
Are they going to kill them? No, if they were going to kill them. These two people would not have brought them out of the main entrance of the police station.
Lanni's brain was working fast, and he was thinking about how to get out of the current situation. And Selina, who was sitting next to him, was so scared that she was at a loss and couldn't be relied on at all. As for Xing Ze, he didn't panic much, and could even be said to be calm.
While Lanny was still thinking, Xing Ze broke the silence in the car, "You two, I guess we are going to the place where our hotel companions are, right?"
No one answered. The car fell into silence again.
Is it torture? This possibility flashed through Lanny's mind, but he quickly elevated this possibility to confirmation.
There is no other possibility. He thought in his heart that he didn't want to kill people, but wanted to get something from them.
But...but what is it?
