Chapter 124: Surveillance and Elsa’s Plan

Chapter 124 Surveillance and Elsa’s Plan

After the loot was transferred, the four women would change the color of the BMW 760Li before leaving the crime scene.

No wonder NYPD had never caught them or discovered the loot.

Luke wasn’t tempted by the money at all.

He would never take that cash.

Technically speaking, the money belonged to the banks, and he would be guilty of illegal procurement if he took it.

He could certainly grab the money off the women, but they hadn’t killed anyone during the robberies, and had only knocked out two security guards who had tried to resist.

The system might not allow Luke to blatantly rob the women of their money.

Furthermore, the money they had looted was too much, which would affect how much credit he would lose if the system disapproved. Luke didn’t intend to waste his credit on them.

He simply turned into a videographer again, and filmed them packing away the money.

The women hid the money away inside the doors of the car, until Luke could barely detect the smell of cash.

It seemed that they weren’t planning on giving Sergei the money.

It remained to be seen how the two parties, who each had their own plans, would fall out.

Thinking this, Luke stopped filming and operated his phone. He was relieved to see that there were no surveillance cameras in the warehouse.

His phone could detect bugs and cameras within a range of a hundred meters and disrupt them for a short while so that they wouldn’t record anything in that period.

It was also why he made up his mind to learn Tony Stark’s abilities.

Without these inventions of his, it was possible that he would fall victim to a hidden camera or bug someday.

Thanks to his phone, he would always know if he was being watched.

When the four women took a break in a nearby room, Luke nimbly crawled in through the window.

He snuck over to the A8 and stuck a tracker that he had modified to the bottom of the car.

After that was done, Luke slipped away.

Before he left the warehouse, he installed ugly bugs that looked like buttons in the corners.

If he was lucky, he might be able to pick up on the women’s retreat plan.

After he left, Luke rode his bike to a fast food restaurant not far away.

Listening in via the bugs with his earpiece, Luke considered how he could most benefit from this robbery case.

Se

Sergei had to be apprehended, or LAPD wouldn’t be able to explain to the public why such a ruthless man who murdered Katie was still free.

As long as Sergei was escorted back to Los Angeles, Luke’s job was done. Whether or not Sergei was convicted, and how, would be left to the district attorney.

Elsa, Dustin and even the director of the police department would all be commended for this.

It would be up to them how they would share the credit.

Senior detectives and his boss Brock hadn’t been involved in the cases that Luke had cracked in Houston. The cases were kept confidential even from Brock.

It was one of the reasons why Brock had been so hostile toward Luke.

Things would’ve been better if Brock had been open-minded, but Brock was actually a petty man, so they could only fall out.

Luke and Dustin currently weren’t on bad terms, and they wouldn’t suddenly become enemies after this case.

That was because of Elsa, who had worked under Dustin for years, and surely enjoyed some privileges.

Since she and Luke were now close, Dustin wouldn’t come after Luke, if he was a sensible man.

Hence, Luke had to resolve this case perfectly!

Sergei had to be caught. But what about the four women?

Luke hadn’t made up his mind about them yet, not because he was charmed by them, but because the women hadn’t killed anyone in the robberies.

They only used the guns to threaten the security guards.

Luke didn’t dare rob them of their loot, precisely because their crime wasn’t severe enough.

Once the deal with NYPD was made, the four women would be NYPD’s problem instead of Luke’s.

So, should Luke apprehend them or not?

He thought for a moment, then decided that he wouldn’t specially act against them nor indulge them. At the very least, he had to get the money back.

Given his understanding of the Super Detective System, he would only be rewarded if the money was retrieved.

It was like the hijacking previously; most of the experience and credit he had received was for rescuing the passengers, not for suppressing the five terrorists.

Luke made plans in his heart as he listened to the conversation via his earpiece.

However, he couldn’t understand one bit of it. He shook his head helplessly.

He hadn’t even picked up Spanish yet, let alone Portuguese.

He could only operate the device he was holding, which looked like a phone, before he read the text on it.

It was a translation system with a voice recognition function. Though not entirely accurate, it conveyed the gist of the conversation.

As it turned out, it was true that the women intended to leave after the last robbery.

They wouldn’t meet with Sergei at all, but would simply drive through Queens into Nassau to escape NYPD’s dragnet.

As for the loot, they had connections to bring it back to Brazil.

Nobody in Brazil would care that the money was illegal, as long as it was real.

After a while, Luke basically figured out the women’s plan, and he returned to the police department.

He found Elsa, who was still checking files and waiting for updates, at their desk, and he told her the women’s plan.

Elsa was excited. “They’re going to do another job?”

Luke remarked, “Elsa, they’re not going to share their loot with you. Why are you so excited?”

Ignoring Luke’s teasing, Elsa murmured, “If they succeed again, NYPD won’t be able to take it anymore.”

Luke said, “But they’re on a tight schedule. After the robbery, they’re going to leave through Nassau in half a day with the money. How will that affect our negotiations with NYPD then?”

Narrowing her eyes, Elsa suggested, “What do you say we stop them from escaping first?”

Luke said, “…Elsa, are you serious?”

He basically understood what she was saying.

If the women completed the job, Dustin would be able to make a deal with NYPD.
