Hardy always protected Taylor under his body, and there were constant explosions of bullets outside, but Taylor found that he was not as scared as he thought.
Hiding in Mr. Hardy's arms, she had an unprecedented sense of security, as if she didn't have to worry about everything as long as she hid in his arms.
Taylor even peeked out.
The robbery was over, and the robbers finally left.
When the two came out of the corner, they saw the whole street in chaos, several passers-by were killed, and several wounded lay on the ground wailing.
The bank is even worse.
All the glass was blown up, and the inside was messy. Hardy looked at the bank plaque, "Bank of America Los Angeles Branch Merriman Avenue Sales Department."
Hardy knew Bank of America.
Later generations, also known as Bank of America, it was one of the top commercial banks in the United States, with branches all over the United States. Even today in 1946, Bank of America is also one of the top banks in California.
He also knew that it was this bank that first invented the bank credit card in 1959, which was later s.
Hadith wondered who did this robbery?
It's definitely not the Bill Gang.
Hardy had previously issued strict orders. The Bill's gang was only engaged in the gray business. Drug trafficking and robbery must not be done, because the slot machine business has already made a lot of money.
Jewish Gang?
Not like it.
These robbers are crazy.
Throwing grenade during robbery, shooting casually and wounding people, this is an extremely evil behavior.
In the end, the money was obtained from the robbery, and these guys dropped bombs into the bank, and their behavior was described as crazy.
It's not the Jewish gang's style at all.
Irish or Mexican, or sharks swimming from other places?
Hardy couldn't guess for a moment.
Take Tyler by the hand and leave the chaotic place, ride a motorcycle to send her home.
At the door of the house,
Tyler looked at Hardy and asked, "Mr. Hardy, will you teach me in the future?"
Hardy patted the girl’s head, "The crew will send you the script in two days. During this time, you will try to figure it out. I will come to you when I have time. If you don’t understand anything, you can also give it to me. Call."
Taylor nodded vigorously.
Saying goodbye to Tyler Hardy, he returned to the security company and found Lanster directly. "An hour ago, there was a bank robbery on Merriman Street. I was not far away."
"There were six robbers. They exploded with grenades and shot them with machine guns. All eight security guards in charge of the money-carrying truck were killed. Several innocent people were killed around. When the robbers left, they threw them into the bank. Two grenade."
"The robbers removed four tin boxes. I estimate that it is more than one hundred thousand dollars. Lanster, do you think the police can catch those robbers?"
Lanster curled his lips and shook his head. "As long as they are Americans, no one will have confidence in the police. I have conducted investigations during this period. Only last year, there were 12 bank robberies and money-carrying robberies in Los Angeles, with losses of more than one. Millions, a handful of cases can be solved, only one case, and all the others have fallen into the sea."
"Lanster, I think our chance is here." Hardy said with a slight smile.
"Oh, what did you think of?" Lanster asked curiously.
Hardy lit a cigarette, took a sip and said, "You said if we find those robbers and bring the money back to the bank, what would they think?"
Lanster paused and said: "The bank was robbed, and the loss of money was actually compensated by the insurance company. The bank did not have any losses, but if the money is recovered, this will be a great publicity for the bank's reputation."
"They can use this to make a fuss about how strong their bank is and can protect customers' property. Reputation is the most important to the bank."
Hardy clapped his hands.
"Yes, it's fame. The bank fancy fame. We can make a fuss on this point."
Hardy picked up the phone and called Bill.
"Bill, there was a bank robbery on Merriman Street this afternoon. There were six robbers. Now you mobilize all the forces of the gang to find out the whereabouts of these robbers." Hardy said.
"Good boss."
Bill agreed without any hesitation.
After hanging up Bill's phone, Hardy called Vlad, the boss of the Jewish gang, and told him about the robbery.
Fred frowned deeply.
Because Merriman Street is considered the territory of the Jewish Gang.
"Fred, I hope the Jews can help find clues and whereabouts of these robbers." Hardy said.
"What do you want, Hardy?"
"I want to do a business with those robbers."
"Snatch the money they robbed?"
"No, it's to help the bank get the money back."
Hanging up Fred's call, Hardy said to Lanster again: "Send out all the people from the security company, let them look for clues and see what they can find."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements," Lanster replied.
After Hardy took a few phone calls, most of the underground forces in Los Angeles suddenly started to look for the whereabouts of these robbers.
The next day.
The headlines of newspapers large and small in Los Angeles are almost all about the bank robbery, and Hardy read it while eating breakfast.
Los Angeles Times:
"An extremely bad bank robbery occurred on Merriman Avenue yesterday. The banknote truck of the Los Angeles branch of the Bank of America was collecting cash. The banknote truck was parked at the Merriman Avenue business department. A group of robbers rushed out and hit them with a grenade and machine gun. Eight security guards were killed and 1.28 million worth of cash was robbed."
"During the robbery, the robbers used grenade and machine guns to shoot. Three innocent passers-by were killed and five passers-by were injured."
"Before the robbers left, they threw two grenades into the bank, killing 2 people in the hall and wounding 11 people on the spot."
"This is an extremely bad robbery. The robbers were inhumane and shot and killed innocent people. A total of 13 people were killed and 16 others were injured. We strongly condemn this behavior and urge the Los Angeles Police Department to solve the case as soon as possible."
The newspaper was accompanied by photos of the scene. The bank was bombed beyond recognition. Several people came out of the bank with blood on their faces.
The other also described the robbery process, and finally said: "Los Angeles has more than a dozen bank robberies every year, causing great losses to banks and the people. Some people even call Los Angeles the "criminal capital of robbery."
"The Los Angeles Police Department has done nothing, leaving the people living in fear every day. As the second largest city in the United States, where Hollywood is located, how this kind of public security makes this city develop and where does the taxpayer's money go."
A total of more than a dozen newspapers, in addition to reporting the robbery, they criticized the government for inaction and the incompetence of the police
town Hall.
The mayor called the police chief Ed, and after a severe criticism, he sternly said that he must solve the case as soon as possible.
Ed lowered his head to be trained.
"The senior officials of the Bank of America called me and said that this was the fourth time their bank was robbed in Los Angeles in five years, which had a great impact on the reputation of the bank. The government must give an explanation."
"Ed, I don't care what method you use to catch those bastards, even corpses. Anyway, I want to see the results."
Back at the police station, Ed spread all the anger on his subordinates, while cursing the **** waste, while sternly ordering them to go out to find someone, the robbers must be found out.
When his subordinates left, Ed sat in the chair and sighed.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart.
The possibility of catching those robbers is slim.
Even in the previous few cases, there were great cleverly combined points, such as the uneven distribution of the spoils and internal strife. In short, it was not a clue to the waste found by his subordinates, and his ability to opponents was too clear.
just wait.
Wait a few days for the momentum to pass.
People gradually forget,
It just passed.
Unexpectedly, the next day there was another breaking news in the newspaper. Bank of America expressed anger at the robbery and offered a $20,000 reward. The robber must be brought to justice.
Many newspapers have reprinted it for a while.
Director Ed was called by the mayor to scold him again, demanding that the case must be solved within half a month, and if he could not solve the case, let him go.
Ed called some of the deputy directors to ask if they had any clues, and all of them said that they had nothing to gain now.
Ed pointed to a few of his men and cursed:
"If the case cannot be solved within 15 days, I will face resignation, but you can rest assured that I will fire you before I leave. Now I will mobilize everyone to find clues."
Several deputy directors rushed out.
Five days passed in a flash.
The robbers seemed to have disappeared. The police did not find a clue. Ed's heart became more and more anxious, but there was no way.
Hardy Security Company Strategy Research Office.
Hardy and Lanster were lying on a map of the city of Los Angeles while Lanster drew a circle with a red pen.
"Those robbers are here, a recycling station."
Hardy smiled softly, "Irish territory, very good."
To determine the location of these robbers, Hardy and the others took a lot of effort to mobilize all their hands to collect all useful clues.
In a second-hand car dealership a guy provided clues that a group of people came a few days ago and they had enough cars in their dealership to have a car similar to the black car used by the robber. The brand of the black car is Ha Di provided it because he was there and saw the car.
This is not the point. The point is that when the guy sold the car, he overheard one of those guys saying that the trunk of this car is big enough to hold more than a dozen cash boxes.
At first, he didn't care, but after the gang investigated him, he remembered this and provided this clue.
This guy described the looks of the people who bought the car.
At the time of the robbery that day, these people were all masked. No one knew what they looked like. It was a big step forward to have their looks.
After continuous investigation, more and more clues.
Finally, a thief provided clues. At a certain waste station, he went to sell the stolen items. He seemed to have seen the person the Bills were looking for. On the same day, Lanster sent a team to investigate. After a long time, it was determined. This guy was in the recycling station, and found traces of the black car in the recycling station.
If you are looking for someone,
The gang is definitely 10,000 times stronger than the police.
Lanster looked at Hardy and asked, "What are you going to do next, grab them now?"
Hardy smiled.
"Don't worry, let our people stare at the robbers, don't do anything as long as they don't run away."
"Tomorrow, you go talk to Bank of America, maybe they can become our first customer."
"Then I will talk to Director Eddy. I heard that the mayor has already issued a strict order to him. If he doesn't solve the case within half a month, he will get out. I think Hadi is safe and can be a partner of the police department."
"There are many places where this thing can work, and we have to make full use of it."
Then the two chatted about the details.
