Later, Little Gary Sane impersonated the kidnapper and made a ransom call to his father, Mohan Wald proposed taking half of the ransom.
Little Gary Sane then realized Mohan Wald's ambition.
For the past few days, he had been pondering over this, the more he thought, the more he felt Mohan Wald had ulterior motives.
The reason Mohan Wald didn't let him turn himself in was to use this matter to control him and gain benefits from him in the long run.
And taking five million US Dollar of the ransom was only the beginning; he might have more unreasonable demands in the future.
But at this point, Little Gary Sane no longer had the courage to turn himself in.
Even if he thought it through, it would be difficult to break free from Mohan Wald's control, even if they fooled the FBI this time, avoiding prison, he might end up being continuously exploited by Mohan Wald for the rest of his life."
Luke smiled, "These two guys are pretty good at excusing themselves."
Anthony exhaled some smoke, "Yes, the most pitiful is that victim, Colin Lopez."
"Are you confident in finding her body?"
"Depends on luck."
"Woo woo..."
Just then, a helicopter flew over from a distance.
Luke looked towards the sky, somewhat puzzled, "What's going on."
Anthony smiled, "You'll know soon enough."
The helicopter landed near the motel.
Soon after, several cars drove towards the motel, all were TV stations' interview vehicles.
Luke frowned, "Did you notify the reporters?"
"The news of the real estate tycoon's son being kidnapped is everywhere, severely affecting the FBI's image, this matter should have a conclusion.
I don't want these bastards to keep broadcasting news mocking the FBI." Anthony's tone carried some dissatisfaction.
Luke also stubbed out his cigarette. The kidnapping news of the real estate tycoon's son was still a headline in Los Angeles, it indeed needed to cool down.
"Come on, let's go meet them," Anthony patted Luke's shoulder.
The two walked outside the motel and were immediately surrounded by a group of reporters.
A white male reporter was the fastest to run up, inquired, "Agent Anthony, I received a tip that the FBI has successfully rescued the real estate tycoon's son, Little Gary Sane, is it true?"
"That's right, although the process was a bit complicated, we found Little Gary Sane," Anthony replied vaguely, then pointed at the camera aside and asked, "Is this live?"
"Yes, do you have anything to say? Or tell us about the capture process."
Anthony spoke sternly, scanning the reporters around, "I do have something to say, when the media got the news of Little Gary Sane being kidnapped, they didn't notify the FBI or police, instead hyped and propagated, causing great hindrance to the FBI's investigation.
I know it's your job, but your behavior could endanger the hostage.
If the hostage gets killed, you all are murderers!"
The reporters present felt somewhat embarrassed, one female reporter changed the topic, "Agent Anthony, was the hostage rescue operation successful? Were any FBI agents injured?"
Anthony said confidently, "Very smooth, no one was injured."
Another Asian female reporter asked, "Is the person standing next to you Captain Li from the Robbery and Murder Department? Did he also participate in this kidnapping case investigation?"
"Haha," Anthony laughed, "Let me officially introduce you, Luke is not just the captain of the Robbery and Murder Department, but also an FBI criminal investigation advisor.
This kidnapping case was successfully solved with critical information he provided.
The guy was originally with the FBI."
The Asian female reporter said and placed the microphone in front of Luke, "Captain Li, what are your thoughts on this case?"
Luke cleared his throat, having faced reporters before, he was no longer as nervous as earlier, "The successful resolution of this case could not have been achieved without every FBI agent's effort and dedication.
Also, I respect the journalist profession and freedom of the press.
However, the nature of a kidnapping case is different from other cases, the hostage is in danger every moment, hope everyone will report cautiously during similar cases."
The two chatted briefly, ending the interview, without revealing too many details about the case.
After leaving the motel, Luke and Anthony drove to a Mexican restaurant, took away some food to eat in the car.
Luke probed, "Little Gary Sane and Mohan Wald have been caught, and the exact crime process is clear.
Who do you think leaked the news of Little Gary Sane's kidnapping to the journalists?"
Anthony drank some coffee and said, "Before finding Little Gary Sane and Mohan Wald, I only suspected there might be an insider.
But now I'm more certain, there must be an insider within the FBI.
I don't want to doubt my own people either...
But all other links have been eliminated, leaving only this possibility."
Luke also shared his speculations, concluding, "If there's really an insider within the FBI, this insider is likely connected to the mastermind behind the Isa Redman kidnapping case, Hugo Joduri.
It could serve as a clue for investigation."
"How many kidnappers were involved in the Isa Redman kidnapping case?"
"Four."
"Send me the information of all four kidnappers."
Luke nodded, "No problem, besides, this kidnapping case also ties back to a kidnapping case ten years ago."
"Is it the file you wanted?"
"Yes."
Anthony asked curiously, "What's the connection between the two cases?"
"The victim from the kidnapping case ten years ago, Sofia, is still alive and became one of the kidnappers in the Isa Redman kidnapping case."
"Wow... that's really unfortunate, yet another tragic story," Anthony sighed, "But, this is the real world, don't you think?"
Luke pondered, "If there's truly an insider within the FBI, could it be linked to the kidnapping case from ten years ago?"
Anthony found the idea bold, if an insider had been hiding within the FBI for ten years...
That would absolutely be a terrifying character.
