"They also installed micro cameras and monitors on me. Whatever I saw and heard, they could also see and hear, and they were always monitoring me.

Last night, I saw you and wanted to ask for help, but I didn’t dare to say anything. I was worried that they would notice something was wrong...

They are very scary, just two lunatics.

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

Jenny sighed softly, "Ms. Baldini, the matter is over, you are safe now."

"Can you help me take off the explosives?

I never want to carry this thing again, not for a minute."

"Don't worry, the remote control is in the hands of the police, and the bomb disposal team is on the way." Jenny put away the brooch that seemed to be a miniature camera, but she did not dare to touch the bomb.

He was just comforting Muriel Baldini on the side, telling him not to get too excited to prevent him from accidentally touching the bomb.

Ten minutes later, the bomb disposal team arrived at the scene and successfully defused the bomb on Muriel Baldini.

Muriel Baldini was completely relaxed and collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.

The danger was over and the police breathed a sigh of relief.

Luke also rushed over to visit. It was his first time to interact with Muriel Baldini. After taking a look at her, she was a mature white woman, very beautiful, with no makeup on her face.

"Ms. Baldini, I am Luke Lee, captain of the 1st Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division. How are you feeling?"

"Other than being a little hungry, thirsty and tired, there's nothing serious. Captain Li, thank you for saving me."

"This is our duty, I want to make a transcript for you."

"No problem, I also hope that those two... suspects can be punished by law as soon as possible." Muriel Baldini took a deep breath,

"Can you give me some time? I want to go to the bathroom."

"certainly."

Luke watched Muriel Baldini leave.

Ten minutes later, Muriel Baldini returned to the office again, her image greatly changed.

She changed into a long blue dress and put on light makeup on her face. Except for the red circles under her eyes, nothing abnormal could be seen.

"Captain Li, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Luke secretly thought that she is indeed a strong woman with a good psychological quality, "Ms. Baldini, can we start taking notes?"

"Can."

"Do you know these two robbers?"

"I don't know, they always wear hoods."

"How did you get kidnapped by them?"

"I was riding my bike home after get off work yesterday, and it was getting late.

A car suddenly drove up from behind and swerved to the right to stop my car from being reversed. Fortunately, I braked in time and the fall was not severe.

I stood up to reason, and two men got out of the car...

I felt something was wrong with my aura, and then a man took out a gun and kidnapped me into a car, while another man threw my bicycle into the trunk of the car.

I was kidnapped by them like this." Muriel Baldini paused for a moment, holding her forehead with her hands, as if unwilling to continue recalling,

"They took me home, then tied a bomb on my body and asked me about the whereabouts of my belongings... I gave them everything in the safe, but they were still not satisfied and wanted more from me.

At this time, the door rang, and Officer Jenny came to investigate. They threatened me not to call the police, otherwise they would activate the bomb.

They also installed micro cameras and bugs on me, and I could only follow their instructions...

You all know what happened next."

Luke asked, "Where's the car they're driving?"

"In my garage."

"What car?"

"A black SUV. I was so nervous that I didn't notice the car brand."

"Did the robbers plant a bomb in your home?"

"I have no idea.

I was very nervous at the time, I didn’t dare to look or ask, I was worried that they would kill me.”

"You did the right thing. It was irrational to anger the robbers in that situation."

Muriel Baldini asked, "Captain Li, how did you find out that the robbers were in my house?"

"We checked the community surveillance and found that the robber drove to the community yesterday. In addition, you did not ride a bicycle this morning and chose to drive instead, which makes me feel even more suspicious."

"Thank you. If you hadn't done your duty, I might have been..."

Luke did not answer. In fact, even if the police were not present, it was unlikely that the robbers would detonate the bomb.

Of course, there is no need to say this.

Luke asked a few more questions, but didn't yield any more clues.

Later, Luke returned to the underground garage to check. The forensic and technical team had already arrived at the scene.

So far, three of the five suspects who robbed North Hollywood banks have been arrested and two have been shot dead. The case has entered the interrogation stage.

The current interrogation focuses on Sost, who was identified by Andres Towns and Jaylen Gaddafi as the mastermind of the North Hollywood bank robbery.

He was also likely ordered to plant a bomb in Gaddafi's home that killed and injured FBI agents.

In addition, because the bank robbery did not go as expected, Sost and Marbury Carr also kidnapped Muriel Baldini.

All that needs to be done now is to collect all the clues and evidence to get Sost to admit his guilt.

Sost's crime is serious enough to warrant the death penalty. It is not easy to get him to plead guilty. Luke must be fully prepared.

…

The first interrogation room of the Robbery and Murder Division.

Luke and Jackson are responsible for interrogating Sostre.

Across the interrogation table, Sost had already been handcuffed and shackled.

The police will be as careful as possible against this ruthless person who is suspected of killing an FBI agent.

Luke opened the file and stared at the white man who looked a little Mediterranean, "What's your name?"

"I forgot."

"Normal people don't forget their own names."

"You're right, I'm not normal. I suspect there's something wrong with my head."

Luke smiled, "Don't worry, you're just bald, you can't kill anyone.

I always thought you wore a baseball cap for concealment, but now I know you have another purpose."

Jackson also smiled, "You made the right choice. Wearing a baseball cap is better, at least it doesn't look so harsh on the eyes."

Sost said coldly, "It's a pleasure chatting with you."

Luke glanced at the information in his hand, "Soest Victor, born in Alaska, is 38 years old. He once served in the U.S. Sixth Fleet and participated in the Libyan War.

Retired in 2013.

Later he was imprisoned for robbery and intentional injury.

Is there anything else you’d like to add?”

"No, you are probably the person who knows me best in the world. I am a little flattered by the sudden attention and understanding from others."

"You are really pathetic."

"You're right, I don't have much expectations for this world anymore."

"Then be happy and admit your crime honestly."

"OK, let's talk and listen."

"At 9:30 a.m. on October 5, you and your accomplices robbed the North Hollywood Bank and stole 2.45 million U.S. dollars from the vault and the property in 76 lockers. Then you ordered your accomplice Marbury Carr to blow up the sewer.

, a group of five of you escaped from the sewer.

You were worried that your accomplice Gelang Gaddafi's behavior in the bank would be exposed, so you asked him to live in another accomplice's house, and at the same time, you planted a bomb in Gaddafi's house, which led to the FBI investigation.

One agent was killed and many were injured.

Later, because the bank robbery did not meet your expectations, you teamed up with Marbury Carl to kidnap No. 1 and robbed a large amount of property from her home. Do you need me to continue? "

Sost Victor shrugged, "I have no impression of what you said."

"Soest, be smart. We have witnesses and physical evidence. It's useless for you to quibble."

"Then I'll see you in court. I have nothing more to say."
