“Roger that!” After receiving the order from the commander, the squad leader replied to him and then ordered members of the special police force, “All units retreat!”
Although, the squad leader was very unwilling to accept this.
However, there was nothing he could do.
Right now, he didn’t even have any information about the robbers. Even if he searched through the night, there would be no result.
They might as well go back first.
They would continue the operation after they had made a plan.
“The police are going to call it a day. It looks like there won’t be any progress today. This drill will not end today.”
“Based on the current situation, this drill is already developing into a protracted war.”
“That’s right. After all, the police haven’t even found any traces of the robbers. Under such circumstances, it’s obviously impossible to end the drill quickly.”
“Even though the police don’t know the whereabouts of the robbers, they have already set up roadblocks at all the intersections. It’s not easy for the robbers to leave.”
“The current situation is that the police can’t find the robbers, but the robbers can’t leave either. This can be considered a stalemate, right?”
“It’s indeed a stalemate. Under normal circumstances, it’s not realistic for the robbers to bring money and break through the police’s roadblocks. However, the police will also be tired at times. When that time comes, it might be the opportunity for the robbers.”
“Whether the robber will successfully charge through the blocks or be arrested by the police will depend on whose skills are better.”
“Anyway, we should be able to enjoy ourselves.”
“Yeah. After all, we have also been looking forward to this drill for ten days. If it ends just like that, it would be a shame.”
“I think so too. Actually, I don’t care too much about who wins and who loses between the police and robbers. As long as the process is exciting enough to bring me the enjoyment of watching the live broadcast, that will be enough.”
“Haha, the two generous viewers.”
“But this mentality is indeed very good. It doesn’t matter who wins. What’s important is whether the police and robbers’ confrontation is exciting enough.”
“I do hope that Jon will win. I have very high expectations for Jon.”
“But this drill is different from the previous ones. Not only is the focus on escaping, but there’s also a rule that everyone hasn’t noticed.”
“The police and robbers in this drill can surrender. Do you think that Jon will find a place to hide and wait until the commander can’t take it anymore and surrender?”
“This is a drill, and in front of so many people. Once the police surrender, they would be a disgrace to the whole country. It’s impossible.”
“Yeah, the police wouldn’t surrender. With Jon’s character, he wouldn’t be willing to hide like this. I have a feeling that he might make a move next.”
“After all, he’s a highly intelligent robber. It’s reasonable for him to make a move when it’s difficult to break through. Everyone, look forward to the progress of the drill.”
In the livestream, the audiences were discussed animatedly.
At this time, everyone knew that the police wouldn’t be able to catch Jon today.
However, the police had also sealed off the entire city’s exit.
As long as the robbers couldn’t escape, it was only a matter of time before they were caught.
However, facing such a situation, Jon would definitely not sit still and wait for death. He might make some moves.
As for what kind of moves, it was unknown.
Temporary command room.
The commander sat at the table and looked at the map on the table. His brows were tightly knitted together.
This was the current situation of the police. After spending an afternoon, they still did not find the car that the robbers had switched to.
It was equivalent to doing nothing.
This time, there were quite a number of police officers participating in the drill.
However, there were many roads that could leave the city.
Hence, the police force deployed at each intersection basically accounted for 90% of the police officers that participated in the drill.
The police force that the commander could deploy was only three search teams.
There were about 30 people in total.
If they could not determine the location of the robbers, with their own police force, they would not be able to carry out a large-scale search in the city.
Therefore, the first thing to do in order to catch the robbers was to narrow down the search area.
Only by doing this way, they might have a chance to be able to spare more police force to cooperate with the search team to conduct a large-scale search.
Thus, they could catch the robbers.
The prerequisite for narrowing down the area was to find the car that the robbers had switched to.
This was because only in this way could they determine the direction of the robbers’ escape route.
Only then could the searching area be narrowed.
The commander stood up and went to the side of the control panel. He said to a few technicians, “Continue to check all the vehicles with seven seats or more that came out from North Freedom Road. The time for this inspection will be increased by one hour.”
“I don’t believe that he can really disappear here?”
It was impossible for Jon and the others to disappear.
It was also impossible for the robbers to spread their wings and fly out.
Therefore, the commander guessed that Jon had deliberately stayed in the same place for a period of time after he changed the car. Then, he drove away.
With Jon’s IQ, it was very likely that he would do that.
And what he had asked the technicians to check before was all the cars within an hour and a half after entering the intersection.
There was no sign of the robber’s car, so the commander confirmed this guess.
But no matter what.
There was only one road now, so the commander could only increase the time for the inspection.
“Yes, sir.” the technicians responded.
They started the hard work again.
Even if they worked overtime and stayed up all night, the technicians did not complain anything.
After all, the entire country was watching this drill, and it was a matter of the reputation of the entire police force in Florida.
As a member of the police force, the technicians also hoped that the police force would win.
Moreover, Jon was so popular now, and he was called a highly intelligent robber, the strongest robber in history.
He had already won two drills, if the Florida police force could defeat him this time, they could prove the strength of the police department.
So, under such circumstances, overtime was nothing.
The commander returned to his desk and continued to study the map.
He was thinking about where Jon would appear after coming out of North Freedom Road.
And where would he go?
Not long after, the search team returned.
The squad leader, Gal Gadot, and the cameraman got out of the car and walked over.
The rest of the special police stayed in the car and were on standby at all times.
“Sir, where are we heading in our investigation now?” the squad leader sat down beside the table and asked the commander.
“Continue to look for the car that the robber changed into. Only by confirming the car that the robber left North Freedom Road, then we can determine which was the direction that the robbers escape to and then narrow down the search area. Only then, we might have a chance to catch the robber.” the commander replied while looking at the map.
