Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 175: The Exploding Helicopter
Qian Baisi's community is located on the outskirts of the wealthy area at the junction of New York Queens District and Long Island.
The transportation is well-developed, and there are many areas covered in vegetation and cameras.
Now, this whole area is filled with the flickering of red and blue lights, and the incessant sound of police sirens.
At many of the intersections outside the area, the NYPD has enforced strict traffic control.
Many drivers curiously watch this rare spectacle unfold before them. After learning from various sources that someone used a rocket launcher, they all lamented that they had entered a real-life version of GTA.
It's just unclear how many stars the NYPD would give the perpetrator.
The big news agencies have money; they can fly helicopters to the scene and broadcast the manhunt live.
The reporters from smaller news agencies wanted to drive into the blocked zone, but the NYPD tonight is doing their duty well, flat out refusing them entry.
With no other choice, these reporters can only turn their cameras towards the cold-looking, black-painted transport vehicles with SWAT written on the side, driving from all directions into the blocked area.
"Agents!"
In the office area of Investigation Team Five, Augustus stood at the front, looking at the live broadcast on TV, his head in his hands, then turned around and shouted loudly:
"The media in New York has gone mad!
They want answers, but we don't have any!
What's the situation with William, Luo An, and Reesi?"
"Reesi was injured and has been taken to the hospital; Luo An is in pursuit of the enemy!"
"Dammit!"
Augustus cursed under his breath and quickly ordered:
"Does Luo An have backup? Tell the nearest SWAT team to hurry up and join him!
Also, where is the enemy now? Have you found them?"
William and the other technicians, their fingers flying over their keyboards, hurriedly replied upon hearing Augustus's question:
"The nearest SWAT unit is expected to meet with Luo An in five minutes!
Mona has located the enemy's trail; she's now helping Luo An pinpoint and pursue them!"
"Good!"
Mona, who had rushed to William's side, had already linked her computer's screen with the computers of Investigation Team Five through remote access.
Augustus watched the images on the computer, his arms crossed in front of his chest, his forehead dripping with anxious sweat.
—
Meanwhile, a black SUV, like a bolt of lightning, sped along the road.
"Turn left at the intersection ahead, then go forward three hundred meters and turn right!"
On the driver's seat, Luo An's eyes flickered with a cold light, and Mona's voice directing him and the sound of her typing on the keyboard kept coming through his earpiece.
After leaving Qian Baisi's house, Luo An called Mona to inform her of the situation.
Upon hearing Luo An's account, Mona immediately handed the steering wheel to Reesi, instructing her to drive to the scene to support Luo An.
Mona herself quickly began typing on the keyboard while seated in the passenger seat. Using the highway cameras, she remotely guided Luo An to chase the gray pickup truck at the fastest speed.
Watching Mona's fingers become blurs on the keyboard due to the rapid typing, the driving Reesi silently swallowed.
Inside the blocked zone, following Mona's directions, Luo An's SUV crashed through the backyard of a passerby's home, smashing through an empty doghouse and a fence, and quickly spotted the gray pickup on another road.
Augustus from afar: "..."
At that moment, the gray pickup suddenly emitted a long orange flame, shooting into the sky.
Boom—
A deafening explosion sound erupted, and a TV station helicopter in the sky was hit and spiraled down to the ground.
"Fu-k!"
"Shit!"
The personnel from several law enforcement agencies and the TV station, seeing the scene on TV, cursed loudly.
"Oh My God!"
"Jesus!"
The television audience witnessing the scene gasped and covered their mouths in shock.
"Luo An, be careful!"
"Hit the brakes now!"
From afar, Mona and Augustus, William, and the others shouted out Luo An's name through the road's surveillance cameras in alarm.
Due to the direction of the helicopter crash, it was right on the path where Luo An's SUV was heading.
"No problem!"
Luo An's brow furrowed as he slightly pulled out the communication device from his ear.
Mona's shouting was so loud that it almost shattered his eardrums.
Watching the helicopter descending towards him, Luo An's expression darkened, and he silently floored the accelerator.
In the next second, just as the helicopter's blades were rotating and hitting the ground, Luo An flicked the gear stick, applied the brakes, and abruptly turned the steering wheel. The SUV took an incredible angle and swerved around the side of the helicopter.
Boom!
The helicopter finally crashed to the ground and exploded on the street.
And the pitch-black SUV, against the backdrop of bright flames, once again dashed forward like lightning.
The team from Unit Five watching from afar slammed their hands on the table and shouted out loud:
"Nice!"
"Cool!"
"Awesome!"
"That's Luo An for you! I knew he could do it!"
Unlike the other agents, Mona, upon seeing this, immediately felt a dryness in her throat and shouted into the communicator:
"Luo An! Are you crazy? Do you have a death wish?"
"It won't happen again."
Due to the helicopter's interruption, the shadow of the gray pickup truck vanished once again.
After replying to Mona offhandedly, Luo An hastily asked:
"Mona! Where's the enemy now?"
Under Reesi's tongue-clicking gaze, Mona slammed the passenger-side car door with force.
"#%￥…"
Muttering under her breath, Mona started hitting the keyboard again, then coldly replied:
"Turn right at the intersection ahead in 500 meters!
A SWAT team and the NYPD are right there, they're about to encounter and exchange fire with the gray pickup!"
"OK!"
Mona's voice in the communication device had just stopped when a burst of gunfire and flames erupted from not far ahead to the right.
Seeing this, Luo An immediately turned the steering wheel and charged in that direction.
When he arrived, an overturned police car was blazing fiercely by the roadside, and two NYPD officers lay on the ground, obviously severely injured.
The SWAT team next to them suffered no casualties, only their vehicles were riddled with bullet holes.
Stepping on the brake and parking the SUV by the roadside, only then did Luo An notice that to the right was a forest, and two deep tire tracks led into the woods.
Quickly running over to the SWAT team, Luo An took the M4A1 assault rifle handed to him and asked gravely:
"What's the situation?"
"There are four of them, armed with rifles.
One of them used a rocket launcher as soon as they saw us, and two NYPD officers were unfortunately killed."
Before the SWAT team member could reply, a stern-faced NYPD officer walked over.
Only then did Luo An realize it was Detective Walton whom he had just met that morning.
Nodding at Luo An, Detective Walton opened the trunk of his patrol car, took out two rifles to sling on his back, and turned to Luo An with a firm stare:
"Their car was chased by the SWAT team into the forest nearby."
"OK."
Nodding his head, and after showing everyone the photo of Jorgen Landry, confirming that he was one of the four men in the gray pickup and the one driving, Luo An immediately took the communicator handed over by SWAT.
Without any unnecessary words, Luo An shouted into the communicator:
"All units, pay attention, check your equipment, form teams, and proceed to encircle this forest in all directions!
Should you encounter any non-law enforcement personnel, you are authorized to use lethal force on site!"
"Understood!!!"

Four fully-armed SWAT teams, along with a dozen NYPD officers with rifles, slowly entered the target area.
Taking a deep breath, Luo An put on the helmet passed to him by a SWAT member, activated the night vision goggles, and picked up the rifle.
Together with a vengeful Detective Walton, the two formed an impromptu team and stepped into the forest.
