Chapter 35 Late Night Arrest Operation
Gotham City Security Department is holding an emergency meeting involving an international criminal case.
"According to the information from the FBI, a member of Heaven's Gate has recently been involved with the higher-ups, and it is very likely that a transaction will be made at Nature's Academic Exchange Summit tomorrow."
"World Trade Center?"
Hearing this name, the security bureau leaders present immediately felt a headache.
This is a downtown area, and no matter what happens, there will be an unpredictable black swan effect.
"Yes, but it is very possible that this is a smoke bomb they put out, and the actual trading time may be advanced."
Edward thought for a while and continued: "The members of Heaven's Gate are very cunning, and everyone is a highly intellectual, so you must not treat them with common sense."
“According to reliable reports, the content of this transaction is most likely Heaven’s Gate’s popular product Cell Activation Capsules.”
After hearing Edward's introduction, everyone below had serious expressions on their faces.
When it comes to Heaven's Gate and cell activation capsules, it must be treated as a major case.
"Recently, the frequency of activities at Heaven's Gate has become more and more frequent."
"Yes, there are people from the Dark Forest. I'm afraid they will appear this time! As long as there are cell activation capsules, these guys will be indispensable."
Edward patted the table, interrupting the discussion below.
"In this operation, I will personally lead the team and try to catch them before they trade!"
Although he was extremely exhausted from dealing with the plane crash and the investigation after the Statue of Liberty during this period, Edward had to take the lead in such a major case.
Even if you can reduce the risk even a little bit in this process, it is very meaningful.
"I'll do the preparations before leaving."
"Start squatting tonight. Toby has arranged the facilities and will arrive at the designated location around eight o'clock."
"Others will be responsible for their respective areas according to the planned positions. Keep communication open and report any situation at any time!"
Everyone silently looked at their own time.
It is already evening, which means that the action has already begun at this moment!
Edward watched everyone leave, and he exchanged a few words with the remaining logistics and technical staff. When it was almost eight o'clock, he drove directly to the World Trade Center.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Edward walked into the temporary command room on the 29th floor of the Marriott Hotel on time.
As soon as I opened the door, there was a burst of smoke.
"You should take it easy. Although it is a smoking room, if the carpet is dirty, cleaning fees will be charged."
Toby and other police officers saw Edward arriving and came out to greet him enthusiastically.
"Sir, all the equipment has been set up, and we have found traces of the target at the location marked above. Control has been prepared, and these suspects are ready to take action."
Edward nodded, took the walkie-talkie and said:
"Well, the target has been located and we are ready to close the net!"
…
At this time, it was inside another ordinary hotel not far from the World Trade Center.
Several men in night clothes left the hotel, got into an older-looking SUV and drove straight into the distance.
The above real-time picture has been simultaneously transmitted to the command center.
"Group A keeps up, keep the distance, and Group B is on standby."
"Their transactions take a certain amount of time. Just locate the location of the transaction. Group A must pay attention to safety."
"Except for Group A and Group B, Group C will control the World Trade Center, and the others will be on standby."
"Be prepared for them to move at any time, and make sure everyone gets the stolen goods!"
After explaining the situation, Edward immediately called the surrounding surveillance cameras.
In order to ensure that he can grasp the latest situation, he has made sufficient preparations.
At this time, Group A continued to transmit the current location information, and an obvious movement track was displayed in the real-time path placed in front of Edward.
However, looking at this trajectory, Edward couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, a message came from the intercom:
"Report, the target has stopped, the details cannot be confirmed."
"Drive directly over, Team B is on standby!"
Edward's brows deepened.
Although he had panda-like eye circles at this time, his brain was still running rapidly.
"This is the back entrance of the World Trade Center, backed by the observation deck..."
"Stop here?" Edward narrowed his eyes.
"What's wrong, sir? Is there a problem?"
Next to him, Toby asked a little strangely.
Edward nodded, but he did not make a detailed announcement. Instead, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said directly: "Group D is converging in the direction of Group A, and Group A is preparing to take action."
"Group C should be vigilant, especially at the front door. If there are suspicious persons coming or going, they will stop them at any time."
"Reporting to the commander, four people were found entering the rest area of the World Trade Center!"
"Calling surveillance! Check identity!" Edward was startled.
Is it a trader?
Edward didn't have time to think too much, because the news was already coming from the other side of the intercom.
"The reporting officer is two scholars from Sakura Country who have been invited to attend the Nature Academic Forum Summit tomorrow."
"There is also Yang Mingyue, a well-known Chinese actor, who was invited to participate in the Gotham City Film Festival this time."
Edward breathed a sigh of relief: "Once the identity is confirmed, we can be released."
"yes!"
My eyes turned back to the back entrance of the World Trade Center.
"Wait for the traders to arrive and prepare for action!"
All the police officers present were on standby, staring closely at the SUV in their field of vision.
Not long after, a thin man in black walked out of the back door, looked left and right, and after finding nothing unusual, entered the SUV.
"The suspect is already in the car and ready to act!"
Edward's voice had already sounded on the intercom.
At this time, the police officers who had already been ambushing around them quickly took action.
With almost no time to react, several cars quickly approached and surrounded the SUV.
Afterwards, everyone got out of the car and quickly formed an encirclement!
"Get out of the car! There is no room for you to escape!"
"We have the right to shoot you to death!"
"I stress again, get off the bus quickly!"
Amidst the words of Team A leader Leiter, the door of the black SUV was opened.
A thin man walked out of the car with his head in his hands.
Seeing this scene, the leader of Team A breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen.
Afterwards, several men got out of the car together, and without exception, they all looked green and yellow.
But this made the leader of Team A in front of him realize that something was wrong.
These people look...
Why are you so haggard?
He frowned, and without even reporting to Edward, he walked directly in front of these people and motioned to the two people next to him to continue searching the car.
"Sir, we are legal."
At this time, I suddenly heard the man squatting on the ground speak.
Leiter frowned, ignored him, and waited quietly.
Chapter completed!
