Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

Chapter 307 Rescue_2


The man in the baseball cap shouted, "Marbury, Marbury.

Dammit, you killed him."

"Shut up, behave yourself."

A police officer stepped forward to hold down the man in the baseball cap, handcuffed his hands, took off his backpack, and found a handgun and a black hood in his possession.

Luke walked over to the man with the blue backpack, checked his body, and found no signs of life.

Luke pulled his hand from his pocket, and a small remote control also fell out.

Luke was startled.

Luckily, a few seconds later everything was normal, no explosion occurred, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luke said to Little Black nearby, "Tell Jenny that the man has been caught."

"Yes, sir."

Luke walked up to the man in the baseball cap, recognizing that he was Soster, the mastermind behind the case, "What's your name?"

Soster glanced at Luke, then lowered his head and refused to answer.

"Good, I like tough guys; we have plenty of time to chat."

Luke opened his own black backpack, "There's cash, jewelry, diamonds, gold bars, and an Apple phone."

"What's the secret?"

"I forgot."

"When I have some free time, I'll help you remember, take him away."

Luke didn't immediately interrogate the other party; he planned to first consult Muriel Baldini for the situation, gather enough evidence, then proceed with the interrogation.

...

Third floor of the building, CEO's office.

Muriel Baldini was pacing the office with furrowed brows, appearing somewhat restless and anxious, a stark contrast to her usual assertive image.

"Dong dong..." There was a knocking sound from outside.

Muriel Baldini took a deep breath, stopped her pacing, and looked toward the door, "Come in."

The door opened, and Jenny walked into the office.

Muriel Baldini's eyes widened in surprise, "Officer Jenny, what brings you here?"

"Ms. Baldini, I'm here to ensure your safety."

"I'm fine, haven't we already discussed this over the phone?"

Jenny pointed at her outer garment, "Could you take off your coat, please?"

Muriel Baldini seemed frightened, her mouth opened as if to say something, but no sound came out; she gestured with her arms across her chest.

Jenny reassured her, "Don't be scared, and don't rush; the two robbers hiding in your car have been caught, you are safe now."

Muriel Baldini was stunned for a moment, her eyes reddening, "God bless, wuu wuu…"

She sobbed softly, slowly taking off her outer coat, revealing a bomb strapped to her back.

"Those two people kidnapped me, even broke into my home to rob, and even strapped a bomb onto me.

They threatened that if I dared to call the police or made any other unusual move, they would press the remote control," Muriel Baldini pointed at the pin on her clothes,

"They also installed a miniature camera and listening devices on me; they could see and hear everything I saw and heard, constantly monitoring me.

Last night, I saw you and wanted to ask for help, but I dared not say anything... I was worried they would notice something off...

They are very terrifying, truly like two madmen.

My God, I thought I was going to die..."

Jenny sighed softly, "Ms. Baldini, it's over now, you are safe."

"Can you help me remove the explosives?

I don't want to wear this thing any longer, not even for a minute."

"Don't worry, the police have the remote control, and the bomb disposal team is on their way." Jenny removed the suspected miniature camera pin but dared not disturb the bomb.

She simply comforted Muriel Baldini nearby, urging her to not be too agitated to avoid accidentally triggering the bomb.

After about fifteen minutes, the bomb disposal team arrived at the scene and successfully removed the bomb from Muriel Baldini.

Muriel Baldini completely relaxed, collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily.

With the danger averted, the police also breathed a sigh of relief.

Luke also came to visit; it was his first time dealing with Muriel Baldini. He surveyed her, a mature Caucasian female, very attractive without any makeup on her face.

"Ms. Baldini, I am Luke Lee, captain of Squad One from the Robbery and Murder Department. How do you feel?"

"Aside from being a bit hungry and tired, I'm okay. Captain Lee, thank you for saving me."

"It's our duty, I'd like to take your statement."

"No problem, I also hope those two... suspects get their legal punishment soon." Muriel Baldini took a deep breath,

"Could you give me some time? I'd like to use the restroom."

"Of course."

Luke watched as Muriel Baldini left.

Ten minutes later, Muriel Baldini returned to the office looking vastly different.

She had changed into a blue long dress, her face lightly made up; aside from some redness around her eyes, there were no signs of distress.

"Captain Lee, sorry to keep you waiting."

Luke thought to himself, indeed she is a strong woman, with good mental resilience, "Ms. Baldini, can we start taking your statement now?"

"Yes."

"Do you recognize these two robbers?"

"No, they were always wearing hoods."

"How were you kidnapped by them?"

"After work yesterday, I was biking home; it was getting late.

Suddenly, a car came up from behind, took a sharp right turn and knocked my bike down, luckily I braked in time and it wasn't too bad."
