"That's right."
Zhou Fan pointed at the bustling crowd and vehicles around them. Toshui County's economic developnt wasn't bad, so the number of cars was considerable, leading to significant congestion issues.
But the impact of traffic congestion on robbery getaways was far more severe than on everyday traffic.
If they didn't leave imdiately after the robbery, they might very well get trapped here!
That's the most lethal!
Frequent robbers might know that the scariest thing about this risky business is having the money but no life to spend it.
And in order to leave no trace, they didn't even prepare a car, choosing to leave with the money on foot.
This way, they just needed to blend into the crowd or quickly slip into a street, and no one would notice. After all, people don't spend every day watching backpackers or pedestrians carrying large travel gear.
Luo Fei thoughtfully analyzed the situation and drew conclusions.
"If that's the case, then their base of operations shouldn't be far away. Their hideout might be..."
"Officer Luo!"
Suddenly, Xiaotang's urgent voice ca. Sothing major had happened, leaving Luo Fei very surprised. He was clearly coming with the car, but now their faces were full of shock.
"What's happened?"
"Those three, those three dog mask bandits appeared again. At the credit union two streets away, they've already begun."
Luo Fei and his team stared at Xiaotang in shock.
What's going on? Three cris in less than twenty-four hours.
Aside from the first robbery occurring more than a day apart,
the frequency of the other two robberies was less than half a day apart. What on earth were these bandits thinking?
"Go!"
Luo Fei shouted, and everyone hurried into the car.
Previously, they could only sound the alarm after the robbery had occurred and couldn't reach the scene in ti. This ti, no matter what, they had to confront these guys head-on.
In the car, Luo Fei reminded everyone to check their bullets — they were fully ard this ti.
"Rember, only shoot when absolutely necessary, ensuring the safety of pedestrians on the street. They might take hostages outside."
"Old Luo, they're definitely carrying large-scale destructive weapons; we might not be able to get close."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fei sighed lightly. He had thought of this too.
But here they were, with no option to retreat.
Even if the three robbers threw grenades at them, they must first find a way to protect the civilians.
"I'll stay hidden; you guys try to get into the public areas outside and lure the robbers out, giving other colleagues ti. I'll look for an opportunity in secret."
"Protect the civilians, and I'll protect you too."
As he said this, a steady sense of security washed over them.
Xiaotang and the others were sowhat puzzled. Why do this? Wouldn't advancing together provide more pressure?
"We can't pressure them because they have hostages and might shoot at the police!"
"Although there have been two cases, besides a few injuries, no lives were lost, so they're purely robbing for money, not wanting to escalate the situation."
They had already reached the nearest intersection to the credit union, where they could see it across half the street.
"That's the place."
Xiaotang pointed to the sign not far away.
Suddenly, a gunshot shattered the street's tranquility, causing people near the credit union to flee.
Since it was afternoon, there were many pedestrians on the road.
Still, this was already quite good; if no one had reported seeing those three criminals enter here earlier, many more people might have gathered...
"Drive over! Everyone stay alert."
Luo Fei flipped out from the side window, then sidestepped to hide under the vehicle.
At that mont, he supported himself with one hand against the car door, his body hovering as he moved with the vehicle, aiming to stay hidden.
As soon as they reached the bank entrance, shards of broken glass were the first sight.
The door had been blasted open, so the surroundings were in chaos.
That was the effect of the earlier gunshot.
Xiaotang and the others got out of the car, surrounding the credit union. The officers on both sides had already covered the central area, ready to aim at anyone daring to show themselves.
Liao Xingyu and others kept watch from afar.
If soone tried to escape through smoke at the entrance, they were the final line of defense.
Until a hostage with a broken leg from a kick crawled out of the credit union, breaking the deadlock.
The person scread, crawling to the center area, then waved and shouted.
"They've already... already run away..."
"Help... Ah—"
The next mont, he fainted from the imnse pain.
Seeing this, Luo Fei rushed out from hiding, imdiately storming inside.
No ti to waste, must act quickly!
Though the credit union interior wasn't a complete ss, the scattered chaotic scene was nerve-racking, and the counters had been thoroughly ransacked.
Only a few hostages were curled up in the corner of the hall.
Two staff mbers were knocked out, while other security personnel were confined in the reception room after being hit.
Everyone's communication devices had been disabled in advance, making it impossible to contact the outside world.
"Really gone!"
Walking through the hall, Luo Fei realized it was less than ten minutes from receiving Xiaotang's report to arriving here...
And just like that, the robbery was over!
For the first ti, the terrifying efficiency of such a robbery was vividly felt.
"Too fast, their speed and coordination are getting ridiculous. Three robberies at such high frequency."
Luo Fei paced back and forth, his tone growing angrier.
After securing the outside, Xiaotang and the others stepped in, looking at the aftermath with bitter smiles.
Liao Xingyu approached the counter, finding chaotic traces and already dismantled sections inside.
Seeing the police arrive, the hostages breathed a sigh of relief one by one.
"Officers, you finally ca. Scared to death, boo hoo."
"Too terrifying, those bandits are too terrifying. Ca in shooting before hitting, we're no match."
"Officers, please get out of here, I beg you."
Watching these dazed civilians, Luo Fei felt pained. Should they just wait for more cris before chasing them down?
Liao Xingyu stepped up to pat his shoulder.
"Old Luo, don't rush. Let's check the surveillance, have Xiaotang and the others evacuate civilians and clear the scene."
"Alright."
Then they entered the surveillance room.
The caras were intact, recording everything to the last fra.
The video showed their entry as before, the coordination and setup, bomb placents, hostage gathering—all well coordinated...
Sudden noises paused the trio, exchanging glances, seemingly drawn by external events.
By the tiline, soone had just reported it at the mont.
Sure enough, the three dog mask guys sped up, throwing four bags one after another.
"They're leaving..."
Luo Fei tensed, checking the ti—it was less than five minutes since the alarm.
He was still on the road then!
Suddenly, Luo Fei noticed sothing peculiar.
"Wait, the weight of these four bags seems off; the first three are heavy, sliding less than three ters after landing, but the fourth one seems light."
"It looks half as heavy. Could it just be a half bag of money?"
The nearby Liao Xingyu and others began guessing.
"Could be leftover weapons..."
"No, that might be heavier than money bags—maybe it's disguise clothes."
Suddenly, a realization sparkled in Luo Fei's mind!
Clothes? Disguise! Now everything was clear!
That's what you call professional!
