Chapter 13: The Police Who Failed Again

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The sheriff’s brows were tightly knitted together.

At this moment, he had also realized the seriousness of the matter.

“It can’t be said that there isn’t any progress at all.”

“Haven’t we already sent in the bugged meal boxes with camera?”

“As long as we can determine the location of the robber, we can start our operation at any time.”

The police sheriff pinched the space between his eyebrows and took a deep breath before he spoke seriously.

The director sat back in his seat and did not say anything else.

He was just the referee.

No matter which party was approaching victory in the drill, the director would not interfere too much.

After all, what he wanted was fairness and justice, not forcibly shifting the balance towards justice.

Meanwhile, reporters and cameramen were already reporting live from the scene.

They had nothing to do but now they found the news material they wanted.

They quickly recorded the entire process of the police who had dressed up as deliveryman to deliver food.

When the police jumped in to subdue the robber, the number of viewers and the number of bullet screens on all the TV stations soared.

Then, when the police were warned by the robber with gun, the viewership ratings of several TV stations rose to the highest of the month.

The scene when the police seemed to want to make another move but the robber fired his shotgun directly has caused the viewership ratings of all the TV stations to rise to the highest of the year!

After all, everyone liked to watch bank robbing as long as it was not their own money, especially bank money.

In the past, they weren’t interested in this kind of drill because the drill was too fake.

In previous drill, the person who played the robber wanted to tie himself up and send himself off to the police as soon as the police arrived at the scene.

He didn’t look like a robber at all.

They didn’t care about the drill.

If they ended the drill early and everyone got off work early, wouldn’t everyone be happy with each other.

This kind of drill was too childish. Not only would it fail for any detection, the public would also not be interested in such drills.

But this time was different.

Not only did he use real guns to blow up the bank at the start, he even killed two policemen in a row. Now that he had sealed the door and taken away the cash, many people even wondered if this person was really putting on a show.

How could the public not be interested in such a real feeling?

“Sheriff, can I ask?”

“After another policeman was killed by the robber, what’s our next plan?”

“The police and the robbers have been in a stalemate for two hours now, but they still haven’t taken any effective action.”

“Is the New York Police Department helpless against this robber?”

The reporter quickly interviewed the sheriff who came out from the temporary command center.

Then, he asked a few questions that he had prepared in advance.

“Although the robber is experienced, unusually cunning and brutal this time, please rest assured that we will definitely arrest him and rescue the hostages successfully!”

“The pizza with camera and bug had been sent into the bank. As long as we can confirm the location of the robber, we will take a forceful attack!”

Although the sheriff was very upset, he still looked at the camera and said a few words.

Though the sheriff thought that the robber was very cunning, he still could not help but tell the whole plan to the media.

Anyway, this was not a secret. It was just a drill.

After all, exposing himself in the media was also a good opportunity to show the public the strength of the police.

After responding to the reporter’s questions, the sheriff and a few police didn’t sit idle. They quickly looked at the display screen on the console.

The miniature pinhole camera was connected to the WIFI module.

Now that the camera had been sent in, all they had to do was to quickly connect to the camera.

They wanted to see if they could locate the robber.

“Sheriff! There’s a sound!”

Just as the sheriff was standing next to the control panel, the police officer who connected the equipment on the control panel spoke.

“Turn on the loudspeaker!”

The sheriff hurriedly spoke.

“Rip… Rip…”

After connecting to the microphone channel and turning on the loudspeaker, the sound of plastic bags rubbing against each other could be heard.

Everyone present was waiting for the machine to be adjusted and listening quietly because they knew that it was the sound of the robber picking up the pizza.

Now, everyone was hoping that the robber would not choose the pizza with the bug and camera.

The sound of plastic scraping was still heard.

However, other than this sound, there was no other sound.

The sheriff could not help but frown slightly. There were more than a dozen hostages in this bank. Why didn’t they make any sound?

Could it be that this robber had sealed their mouths?

Otherwise…

The drill had continued for so long and the hostages didn’t complain at all?

“Hey, I say…”

“Can you give me a box of your pizza?”

Just as everyone was wondering why it was so quiet, a voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone’s hearts tightened.

This voice was very familiar. It was obviously the policeman who disguised himself as a deliveryman to deliver the pizza.

“I said, dead people can’t make a sound.”

“But you just had to speak to me when I was holding the second box of pizza. This is obviously to attract my attention and make me ignore the second box of pizza.”

After weighing the two boxes in his hands, Jon said directly.

“If I’m not wrong, you must have tampered with the contents of this box of pizza, right?”

“A bug? Or a camera?”

When everyone was afraid to gasp and listened, a cold voice sounded.

This voice was obviously Jon.

Exposed!

The sheriff gritted his teeth and slammed the table again.

What was this smart-alecky teammate doing?

The sheriff had already said that this robber was meticulous and extremely careful. He still made a series of mistakes.

Not only did he lose his life, but he also ruined the police’s plan.

However…

What the sheriff didn’t know was that even if the police didn’t speak, Jon would still find out because he was simply deceiving the other party.

The second box was heavier than the first.

All pizza boxes had the same standard, so there was something wrong with the second box!

With a casual bluff, the other side’s expression froze.

Then Jon was 100% sure that there was something wrong with the second box.

Jon’s cold voice fell.

At this moment, the policemen in the command room were very clear that the idea of using bugs and microcameras to check the situation in the bank had been shattered.

What should they do next?
