The man in the baseball cap, still conscious but powerless to resist, was carried out of the bar by two men and planted into a Ford Transit van.

It was a commercial vehicle with a tall and spacious body, quite suitable for temporary interrogations of suspects.

The baseball cap man slowly regained his consciousness, "Who are you guys? Why are you abducting me?"

"Click," Marcus simply cuffed him without needing to answer.

Luke confirmed, "What's your name?"

The man's eyes flickered with panic, and he seemed to dare not meet Luke's gaze, "Andres Towns."

"Where were you between 9 AM and 12 PM on October 5th?"

"I... I... you guys..." Andres Towns trembled, stammering without being able to utter a complete response.

Luke pressed his head down, looking at the tattoo on the back of his neck, "This tattoo was captured crystal clear by the bank's surveillance.

I'll ask again, were you at North Hollywood Bank between 9 AM and 12 PM on October 5th?"

Andres Towns took a deep breath, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

"We caught Franco Murphy in a motel; he admitted to the bank robbery and ratted out all of you.

The police operation wasn't just aimed at you alone; your accomplices may have been arrested as well.

Even if you don't talk, they will confess just the same.

I advise you to be smart and not become the unlucky one to be pointed out.

Your associates certainly wouldn't mind stepping over your dead body for a favorable plea agreement."

"If I confess now, can I get a favorable plea agreement?"

"Of course, as long as you're willing to help with the police investigation, I'll provide you with a favorable plea agreement."

Andres Towns took a deep breath, "I admit... I did participate in the North Hollywood robbery on October 5th."

"Who were your accomplices?"

"Franco Murphy, Jerrang Kazafei, Marbury, Soster."

"Tell me about them."

"Franco Murphy, he handled the transportation, drove the car, and he claims to have been a race car driver before.

Jerrang Kazafei, he's a lock-picking expert, responsible for opening the bank vault.

Marbury, that guy is dangerous, likes fiddling with bombs.

Soster, he's the planner of the robbery, and he's the one who got the bank's floor plan."

"Who's the mastermind behind this operation?"

"Soster."

"What's his full name?"

"I don't know."

"What about you?"

"I'm just someone who's in deep debt and had to rob a bank to pay it off. I was only on the lookout.

I really didn't want to do this...

But I had no choice. If I didn't pay back the money on time, those guys wouldn't let me off."

"Audval Wells?"

"Yes, he runs an underground money-lending operation, and there's a gang organization behind him. If I don't repay them, they certainly won't let me off."

"Do you have any family?"

"Jerrang Kazafei."

"Why was he staying at your place?"

"Previously, for casing, he handled some storage locker business at the bank. Worried that the police might track him down, he temporarily stayed at my place."

The information provided by Andres Towns was largely consistent with that of the police investigation.

Previously, Anthony was in charge of investigating leads related to the bank's storage lockers and also suspected Jerrang Kazafei. He and his team searched Jerrang Kazafei's house, but a bomb had been planted there, resulting in heavy casualties within the FBI.

"Who planted the bomb at Jerrang Kazafei's house?"

"What bomb?" Andres Towns looked confused.

Luke said, "The FBI was attacked by a bomb during the investigation at Jerrang Kazafei's house, causing multiple agents to be injured or even killed."

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Andres Towns quickly explained, "I didn't know about this. I was only involved in the bank robbery. I've never killed anyone, and I don't know anything about any bomb.

I swear, I just wanted to make some money to pay off usury; I'm not a violent maniac, nor do I enjoy killing."

"Wasn't Jerrang Kazafei at your house? Didn't he mention anything?"

"No."

"Are there bombs in your house?"

"No, I would never allow such things in my house."

"Where are the other two robbers besides Jerrang Kazafei?"

"I don't know."

"Do you not know, or do you not want to say?"

"I'm not close to them. In this gang, I only know Jerrang Kazafei; it was he who brought me in."

"Is Jerrang Kazafei your boss?"

"Sort of."

"Are you very familiar with Jerrang Kazafei?"

"We met in prison.

After being released, we bumped into each other at a bar one time and got back in touch—pretty good friends who could chat freely.

They happened to be short of people, and knowing that I needed money, they invited me to join."

"How long had you been planning the bank robbery?"

"I was the last one to join, around October 2nd. As for how long they had been planning before that, I'm not sure."

"Where was your base of operations for the five of you?" Cases like this multi-person robbery always require multiple planning and discussions beforehand, and there must be a place where everyone could meet.

"Jerrang Kazafei's house."

"When did you usually meet to discuss the case?"

"Always at night."

"How many times in total?"
