The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol

Feeling that the situation was about to escalate, John rushed forward.

Damn it, how much money does the bank give you in a month?

Jack cursed the Sabi security guard in his mind, quickly pulled out his Glock and followed him.

"Be careful not to shoot, the two hostages escaped."

John reported to the walkie-talkie while rushing in. Jack could only guide the two escaped hostages to run in a safe direction to avoid entering the shooting area of ​​Nila and Lucy across the street.

When Jack rushed into the bank, the black security guard fell to the ground covered in blood. He glanced at him and saw that fortunately, he was hit by the butt of the gun and his skin was only broken.

John was pointing his gun at the pillar in the lobby. The robber's hood was pulled off by the black security guard during the fight. He was hiding behind the pillar holding the money bag. The small revolver in his hand was pointed at a female bank teller who fell to the ground because of fright. .

Jack's eyes narrowed slightly. From this distance, he was sure to shoot off the hand holding the gun.

"Go away, or I'll shoot." The robber was so nervous that the hand holding the gun was shaking violently.

After a long time, John's verbal abuse was finally able to show off again.

"No, no, you won't shoot. The situation is a bit out of control, but we can find a way to solve it."

"No way, if you don't let me leave with this bag, she will be dead."

Jack was a little surprised. Although the robber looked Latino, the leather jacket he was wearing was from Gucci, and the belt around his waist was from Hermès. Was he wearing this to rob or attend a meeting? Could it be that this is another middle-class person who has been forced into a desperate situation?

Feeling that things were weird, Jack decided to wait and see what would happen, and let John talk for a while. The uncle hadn't had a chance to appear for a while, and it was not good to always steal other people's highlight moments.

"You go out first, take the others with you." Jack helped to lift the black security guard on the ground, so that there would be fewer people on the scene to avoid any accidents later.

"Officer Harper, Officer Chen, please pay attention, the remaining hostages are leaving now to avoid accidental injury."

After announcing on the intercom and standing at the door to escort all the hostages to evacuate, Jack suddenly felt a faint throbbing, as if someone was watching him.

He leaned the walkie-talkie on his shoulder and pretended to continue talking. Looking out of the corner of his eye in that direction, he found a vague head suddenly retracting in the cab of a dirty van parked on the side of the road next to the steps he had just come up from. Back seat.

When I came here just now, I saw that the cab of this car was empty, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I sensed that someone was peeping inside, the parking position couldn't help but make people suspicious.

Jack pretended not to notice anything, turned around and walked towards John as if nothing had happened, and asked in a low voice on the intercom.

"Harper, do you think the van with the name Nonna Primo's Pizza at the door could be the accomplice responsible for the reception?"

Not long after, Harper's voice came: "Can you see someone inside? There is a dark film on the window glass, so I can't see clearly inside the car."

"I noticed someone inside was peeking into the bank. Is there a way to prevent the other person from escaping without alerting him?"

Jack couldn't tell whether the other party was really an accomplice of the robbers, or a very curious person, but from that position he could only see a small area of ​​the bank entrance, and opposite him was a policeman with a gun, so he was a bit arrogant. Normal people would not choose to stay in such a position where they could encounter stray bullets at any time.

Although there are many people with abnormal brains in LA, every day of the gun battle goes by for a long time. This kind of basic "common sense" should be possessed by ordinary citizens.

"No problem, I'll have people place spike strips at both ends of the street. You and John should be careful inside." Harper replied.

Jack replied OK, walked over to John, and listened to his continued talk.

Perhaps he had just experienced a big scene full of bullets, or maybe he was confident enough to control the current situation. Jack felt that he lacked the most basic sense of tension, and felt a little emotional in his heart. This world is really training.

At this time, John had not only asked the other party's name, but had even begun to reminisce about the past.

"Hey, Cooper, it's funny. This is not the first time I encountered a bank robbery. The last time was before I became a police officer. At that time, I had just divorced and I still had a lot of trouble behind my back."

".It also successfully prevented the bank robbery. Well, it was not very successful, but no matter what, no one was injured at the time except for me, who took two blows."

"It was this experience that allowed me to find the right direction again after I reached middle age and became a policeman. The same goes for you. While no one is injured yet, you have time to stop. You don't want to Your family is grieving for you."

Uncle John's level of rhetoric was probably beyond his reach in his entire life. Even if his psychology skills were upgraded to a master in the future, Jack sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he also mastered the knack of convincing people with reason.

As long as your marksmanship is accurate and fast enough, you can completely convince the enemy before they can react.

The robber was really impressed by John, "Listen, I don't want to hurt anyone, but I don't have a choice, you know? Because of my family."

John said sympathetically: "I understand, but your family must also hope that you can get out alive, so let this girl go first."

The robber Cooper finally relented, "Listen, if I do as you say, you have to let me escape safely."

"Well," John said truthfully, "This is unlikely. You have to know that there are police outside now, and more police will come later. Now that the matter is over, I suggest you put down the gun and let this end. .”

"No, you don't understand." The robber Kubo showed despair in his eyes. "She can leave, but you have to let me leave. My wife and daughter are waiting for me. Without the money, they will die."

John was confused, "Are they sick? Are they in urgent need of money?"

Jack is the most annoyed by the Riddler. Many tragedies in those film and television works are caused by misunderstandings caused by unclear words. I don’t know whether the authors or screenwriters only have such a big brain capacity or they do it on purpose. It is so insulting to people’s IQ.

So he impatiently interrupted: "Let that girl leave first. We won't force you to come out. We can talk clearly slowly. You can see that John is a good person. I am okay too. We will help as much as possible." your."

Cooper hesitated for a moment, then waved the revolver in his hand. The female bank clerk on the ground quickly got up and bent down to escape from the bank as if she had received an amnesty.

Things went surprisingly smoothly, and Jack was in a much better mood because of missing lunch, so he planned to let this guy say a few more words.

Without the hostage, this guy named Cooper was no longer a threat. With the way he was holding the gun tremblingly, Jack was fully confident that he would empty the magazine of his Glock before he wanted to act rashly.
