Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 281: PPTs May Not Be True, But Slogans Must Resonate
The words of the agent from the Anti-Simple Explosive Devices Division immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Group Supervisor Potante Byrne asked impatiently:
"How do we solve this?"
Luo An, Reesi, Mona, and the leader of Investigation Team Four, Morton York, all stared intently at the agent.
"Thanks to Deputy Leader Luo An's help, we have now figured out the components of the bomb used by the robbers."
The agent from the Anti-Simple Devices Division picked up a piece of bomb debris and explained:
"Ladies and gentlemen, look, this bomb mainly consists of TNT, an initiator, and a signal receiver component…"
The agent from the Anti-Simple Devices Division used a slew of technical terms, causing Morton York, the leader of Investigation Team Four, to frown deeply.
The experienced Group Supervisor Potante Byrne had some understanding of this, and although Luo An didn't understand all the technical terms, he grasped the gist of what was being said and summarized:
"So, you mean that the bomb used by the perpetrators is actually a remote-controlled bomb, and the method of remote control is likely to be via cell phone signal, right?"
"That's correct."
The Anti-Simple Devices Division agent nodded repeatedly:
"We can prevent the bomb from exploding by jamming the signals in this area!"
The principle of a signal jammer is to scan from the lower frequency to the higher frequency of the forward link channel at a certain speed, creating garbled interference at the receiver's end, preventing the receiver from detecting normal data sent by the remote control end.
Since mobile phone bombs became frequently encountered in certain foreign federal regions, such jammers have appeared within the country, and naturally, the FBI also possesses this professional equipment.
"Nicely done!"
Group Supervisor Potante Byrne patted the shoulder of the Anti-Simple Devices Division agent heavily, then took out his phone to make a call:
"I'll have someone from headquarters send the equipment over right now!"
Potante Byrne was determined, planning to commence a raid as soon as the equipment arrived at the scene.
"Wait a moment, sir!"
Just then, the Anti-Simple Devices Division agent suddenly stood up and stopped Potante Byrne's actions, speaking with a serious expression:
"As Deputy Leader Luo An just mentioned, cell phone control is just one possibility; we cannot rule out that the robbers might be using other remote control methods.
Moreover, the initiator on the bomb also has a manual mechanism; if these robbers realize that they cannot activate the bomb via remote control, they still have the opportunity to initiate it manually!"
The words of the Anti-Simple Devices Division agent made Potante Byrne freeze in action, understanding that there was uncertainty about the effectiveness of the signal jammer.
Morton York, Reesi, and Mona frowned upon hearing this, Luo An crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then asked:
"If we knew which remote control method they were using, would you be able to take appropriate measures?"
The Anti-Simple Devices Division agent was silent for a few seconds then nodded, but the key issue now was that they did not know which remote control method was being used by the opponents.
The two bombs that appeared in front of them had already exploded, and they only had some messy bomb fragments in hand, lacking the bomb itself. freewebnoveℓ.com
The complete bombs were inside the bank's main hall, which was blocked by off-road vehicles; they couldn't properly analyze the exact condition of the complete bombs.
"F**k!"
Potante Byrne muttered under his breath and still made the call for the FBI Los Angeles headquarters to deliver the signal jamming equipment as quickly as possible.
Whether it would work or not was a secondary concern; having the equipment in place was more important.
Potante Byrne had just hung up the phone with the FBI when his black cell phone rang again. The caller, still a man with a magnetic voice, reminded the law enforcement officers outside that only 19 minutes were left.
"Damn it!"
The caller hung up again, and Potante Byrne's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Silence fell over the scene. Luo An, holding the bank's internal structure diagram provided by the bank executives, pointed and analyzed for a moment, then suddenly turned around and said:
"Chief, I have an idea."
Potante Byrne's spirit lifted:
"Speak!"
"Please look here."
Luo An displayed the bank's internal structure diagram to Potante Byrne and analyzed:
"The bank's vault and server room are located in two adjacent rooms in the semi-basement of the bank, with doors made of special concrete and steel layers.
The only way to access these two rooms is to go around from behind the bank counters, unlock a metal door, and then follow the stairs inside."
Currently, all hostages are trapped in the main hall, along with several robbers, with the bank's counters and manager's office behind the hall.
Potante Byrne, looking at the diagram, considered for a moment, and said:
"Are you suggesting that we sneak someone inside the bank to photograph the bomb, analyze its remote control mechanism, and then plan our action accordingly?"
Potante Byrne's eyes brightened as he spoke. From his experience and skills when he was younger, there was a high chance of success with this plan. If he were ten years younger, he would be confident to carry out this mission.
Thinking this, Potante Byrne looked at Luo An with satisfaction, but unexpectedly, Luo An shook his head and continued:
"No, Chief, that's just one part.
After taking the photos of the bomb, we can also draw out the bank robber leader, Jack, from the server room.
The person who sneaks in can quickly take him down, and as our people outside simultaneously storm the bank, we can eliminate the remaining robbers without giving them a chance to react!
The Hostage Rescue Team won't arrive in time, so I request to undertake this mission alone!"
Luo An's resolute voice echoed over the scene, and after these words, Morton York, Reesi, and the nearby bank executives wore expressions of shock.
Mona frowned deeply, while Potante Byrne looked Luo An up and down with a serious demeanor:
"This plan is too dangerous!"
Aside from the bomb, Potante Byrne considered the eight robbers inside the bank; killing even one would prompt the others to retaliate quickly.
In the face of various expressions from the crowd, Luo An's expression remained unchanged, undeterred.
From appearances, the plan indeed seemed hazardous, but Luo An's emotional perception allowed him to foresee others' locations in advance, and the medications provided by the system could ensure his safety.
If it came to it, relying on these means and tactics, Luo An was fully confident he could escape successfully from the adversaries' clutches.
Besides, Luo An wasn't actually planning to proceed in such a way; these words were only meant for the bank executives' ears, considering they had put forward 8 million US Dollars.
Not presenting the plan as harsh, serious, and dangerous, how could he convince the bank executives genuinely and secure the larger share of the funds for himself?
The products on the PowerPoint might not be real, but one must display sufficient zeal, and the slogans must ring loud!
So, with an inward smile, Luo An subtly glanced at the moved bank executives beside him and raised his voice again:
"Chief, I request to execute this mission!"
