The eldest lady put all her doubts aside for the time being. She took out her wand and secretly cast a large-scale deflection spell on the policemen, which could reduce the chance of them being shot.
Things have reached this point, and there isn't much she can do. Although she could just wave a magic wand to resolve this dispute, doing so would be too eye-catching.
In fact, she was able to drive out the police car despite the hail of bullets, which was a miracle in the eyes of others. Any police officers who came to support did not think that there would be anyone alive in the car.
But after seeing Ellie getting out of the car unscathed, their faces were full of surprise. If it weren't for the gunshots that continued to echo in their ears, many of them would have shouted God's blessing and prayed.
Fortunately, they had no time to continue to be surprised. Superintendent Ribbon's loud shouts and orders made this group of well-trained policemen quickly join the battle.
Ribbon and Harris hid behind their own police cars, which had been modified with reinforced doors that could withstand shots from small-caliber firearms.
They placed police cars across the road to form a barrier, but the opponent's firepower was too strong for them to fight back. Fortunately, Ruiben had previously applied to the chief for special police support, but the special police officer was placed at the end of the queue to prevent action.
exposed.
It didn't take long for the special police to join the battle. With fire support, the motley crew on the opposite side was quickly defeated.
The next step was to clean up the scene. Ribben left this matter to Harris and walked towards Ellie.
"What happened? Miss Nix." He glanced at Worm and Tom sitting in the car.
"He was attacked." Ellie replied. "It's hard to say clearly, but the attacker should be related to Frank's disappearance."
The superintendent looked gloomily at the chaotic street behind him and muttered: "What the hell, how am I going to write a report?"
…
Lanny was losing his patience. He didn't understand why the police here wouldn't let him call. Even if he was a suspect, he would still have the opportunity to call his lawyer, let alone not him.
When they decided to go with the police, the three of them calculated it. Lanni quickly made up a lie. He claimed that he was attacked by three gangsters for no reason. The supermarket cashier could testify to this.
.
His companion, Xing Ze, rushed into the supermarket to help, but was forced back by the gangsters' guns. After the shooting, the gangsters fled in a hurry. Lanny insisted that the two guns found at the scene belonged to the gangsters.
.
"I have read the transcript, Mr. Laney. But I would like to ask you to go to the scene again and take a look."
"Scene?" Lanny frowned, "Officer, I don't think it's necessary. I've told you everything I know."
Seeing Lanny's impatient tone, Cobain comforted him: "Of course, of course. You have to know, sir, Telford is a quiet town, and there are only a few thefts every month. But now,
Three gun-wielding thugs were killing people with impunity.
"For God's sake, we can't allow this to happen. So every detail is critical to us. The cashier said one of the guns on site is yours, sir. Of course, the poor guy
Maybe I was scared and lost my sight. But..."
Lanny understood what the other party meant. The gun was indeed a problem, but this problem could be solved by relying on his interpersonal relationships. All he had to do was give him a call.
Hell, it's just a phone call. He cursed hard in his mind, but still kept a calm face and said: "Can I make a phone call first, officer?"
"Oh, let's call after we've been to the scene."
Lanny didn't expect this answer. He didn't give the other party a good look, "What? You know I have the right to make phone calls, right?"
"I understand, I understand, sir. But I still insist on going to the scene first."
Lanny noticed something was wrong. He looked around and then at the police officer in front of him, "After you've been to the scene, you made a phone call?"
"Yes, sir, I promise."
Lanny nodded, "Okay, let's go. Oh, the guy who came in with me is an Oriental named Xing Ze. Is he with me too?"
"Yeah, that's right. And that girl, I think her name is Serena. Like I said before, we need any details."
Lanny didn't ask any more questions. He followed Cobain out of the interrogation room and all the way to the parking lot, where the young police officer who had taken notes for him was leading Xing Ze and Selina.
"The number of police cars is limited, so I'm afraid you have to squeeze in."
Lanny nodded and asked casually: "Officer Coburn, you said before that you have notified my friends in the hotel?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"No, it's okay. I'm just wondering why they haven't come yet."
"Oh, I don't know about that. I told them that it would be best for them to come alone."
Lanni sat in the back seat, and not long after, Xing Ze and Serena also sat in.
The young police officer was sitting in the passenger seat. He handed Cobain a cigarette and said, "The director has sent people to the station and the intersection to see if they can stay with those three bastards."
Coburn took the cigarette and put it to his ear, then started the car, "There's not much hope. If they wanted to run away, they would have run away already."
A few minutes later, Lenny, who was sitting in the back seat, shouted: "Hey, isn't this the way to the supermarket? Where are you taking us?"
"Don't get excited, guys." Cobain laughed cheerfully.
Lanny wanted to open the door and get out of the car, but found that the car was locked. He moved forward and reached for the iron fence that separated the front and rear, but a pistol appeared in front of him.
The young police officer changed his friendly face and warned in a cold voice: "Be quiet, I promise you will be fine."
Lanni retracted unwillingly, feeling as cold as winter from the young man's body.
There were traitors among the police. He was vaguely aware of it, but he didn't expect that they would lead them out so openly.
Are you planning to kill them? No, if you are planning to kill them, these two people will not lead them out of the main entrance of the police station.
Lanny's brain was working rapidly, and he was thinking about how to get out of the current situation. Serena, who was sitting next to him, was so frightened that she couldn't hope for anything. As for Xing Ze, he didn't panic much, and could even
Say it calmly.
While Lanny was still thinking, Xing Ze broke the calm in the car and said, "You two, I guess there are still our companions from the hotel where we are going, right?"
No one responded. The car fell into dead silence again.
Was it torture? This possibility flashed through Lanny's mind, but he quickly upgraded this possibility to confirmation.
There was no other possibility. He thought in his mind that he did not want to kill people, but wanted to get something from their mouths.
