Chapter 257 Who Shot Me?
In his car, Luke adjusted the windows to darken them, before the both of them put on their equipment.
They put on the special bulletproof vests that Luke made, then the police vests, and also strapped on the walkie-talkies which Luke had invented himself.
His instructions might wind up being in violation of certain rules of the police department, so it would be better to keep a police communication line open after they went in.
They examined their guns and magazines, and carried smoke and stun grenades made by Luke.
He also gave Selina a grappling hook, but as with the smoke and stun grenades, it was only designed to be used in a critical moment.
Selina was unsurprised as she had already tested the equipment before.
Once they were all set, they got out.
They hung their badges around their necks, in case the SWAT team accidentally injured them.
Finally, they took a detour and entered the apartment building from a back street. Roger had spoken to the captain of the SWAT team, who agreed the moment he heard Luke’s
name.
Roger was both delighted and bummed, since his young colleague seemed to have much more influence than he did.
What he didn’t know was that this captain had been on the Nakatomi case, and Luke had left a deep impression on him.
After all, an officer who could eliminate fifty armed criminals on his own was hard to come by.
They didn’t go through the door. Instead, Luke gave Selina a boost so that she could reach a ledge on the second floor, before she pulled Luke up.
It was just for show; Luke could easily jump up to the third floor, but he didn’t dare do so.
A lot of people close by were watching, and it would be a big problem if any of them captured that with a camera.
Moving quickly, Luke and Selina entered an apartment through a half-open window.
Flashing their badges at the lovebirds in the unit who were shivering in a corner, they quietly opened the door and left. Luke had confirmed that the two criminals were on the first floor. Instead of immediately going downstairs, he told Selina to hide and watch the stairs while he searched the floors above them.
With his Sharp Nose, he soon confirmed that there weren’t any bombs set up on those floors, which was a relief.
At the very least, the two criminals weren’t crazy enough to plant bombs everywhere in the building
Ten minutes later, he rejoined Selina on the second floor and went downstairs.
Bang!
There was a gunshot, and Luke quickly lay flat on the ground and kicked Selina into a corner. “Get down! There’s a sniper!”
In the command van outside the building, Roger and the captain were startled. The captain asked through the walkie-talkie, “Who opened fire?”
Nobody responded.
A moment later, someone said, “Captain, I just saw someone open fire from the building to the northeast. That’s York’s position.”
The captain said, “York, come in.”
The walkie-talkie was silent.
The captain said darkly, “All units, switch to the backup channel.” He then cut the communication.
A moment later, a team member in the van reported, “Captain, everybody has switched to the backup channel, but York is still silent.”
The captain said coldly, “A1 squad will go check up on York. You’re free to open fire if you find anything wrong.”
Roger seemed quite worried. “Captain, about Luke…”
The captain thought for a moment and said, “B1 squad, how are the two detectives doing?”
“They’re hiding after the emergency just now, but… I think Detective Luke was shot,” someone said over the walkie-talkie.
The captain and Roger were silent.
“This is B2 squad. We see them. They’re fine. They’re still moving,” another person suddenly said.
“Are you sure?” the captain asked.
“Positive. Luke’s movements are normal. Huh. He’s running even faster than us. He’s entering the lobby on the first floor.”
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Gunshots burst out inside the building again, and then Roger’s phone rang. “It’s me, Luke. The criminals have been subdued. The hostages are safe. There’s a bomb inside a vase in the lobby. Try to avoid it.”
The captain and Roger looked at each other. You’re done already?
“Where’s the shooter who fired at me?” asked Luke calmly.
Roger looked at the captain.
The captain picked up the walkie-talkie, but before he could say anything, gunshots burst out from the northwest again.
It was followed by a series of screams.
The walkie-talkie suddenly connected. “Captain, we’re under attack! We have three dead and two injured. Ahhh -!”
The walkie-talkie fell silent after a scream.
The captain looked awful. “B1 squad, are you really monitoring the area? You can’t find anything?”
Someone said over the walkie-talkie, “B1 didn’t find anything. A1 is in our blind spot. There are no signs of attackers.”
Roger secretly got out of the van without hanging up his phone. “Hey, Luke, did you hear that?”
Luke said, “The guy who just shot me is in the building with gunfire?”
Roger said, “Yes, a SWAT team just went in, but they’re probably… ugh.”
Luke had already hung up. Roger said helplessly, “Sh*t! At least let me finish!”
On the other side, Luke calmly put down his phone. “Selina, watch them and hide there.” He pointed at an open unit.
Selina looked at him worriedly. “Were you shot just now?”Luke shook his head. “I’m wearing two bulletproof vests. Look, there’s no blood.”
Realizing that he didn’t seem heavily injured, Selina nodded. “Be careful.”
Luke nodded and left quickly.
After leaving the apartment building, he rushed to the building in the northeast.
His Sharp Nose could already pick up the smell of blood dozens of meters away.
His heart turned heavy. There were one, two, three, six… nine victims!
There were eight people on the SWAT team that had just arrived, plus an earlier sniper.
Now, they were all dead?
