At the bank, Jon came to the door of the safe, took out his walkie-talkie, and said to Leon Evans, who was in the surveillance room on the second floor, “Leon, cut off all the surveillance signals in the bank. Open it again after you receive my order.”
“Got it.”
Leon Evans responded and temporarily cut off all the surveillance cameras in the bank as requested.
At the same time, in the temporary command room, all the screens and surveillance cameras disappeared in an instant.
Then, snowflakes flashed on the screen.
The commander fell into deep thought again.
This behavior.
It meant that they could see the surveillance cameras in the bank before, and it was Jon who deliberately let them see it.
But now, Jon didn’t want them to see it anymore.
So, what exactly did he want to do?
The commander pondered for a moment, looked at the technicians, and said, “Can we confirm the number of hostages now?”
He had just given this order.
After such a long time, he should be able to confirm it.
“Sir, from the surveillance footage, there are a total of nine hostages.”
“Although all the hostages are dressed the same as the robbers, they are all in the hall, so it’s easier to confirm.”, a technician replied.
At this time, they were staring at the surveillance screen. After double checking, the results should not be wrong.
The commander raised his eyebrows.
Since the drill began, they had only confirmed how many robbers and hostages there were.
The progress was a little slow.
However, Jon told everyone in the bank to wear the same clothes, so the commander did not dare to give the order to attack.
Otherwise, the hostage would be in trouble.
When all the surveillance signals were blocked, Jon walked out of the safe area.
He took the bank manager to the lobby.
Then, Jon walked to the bathroom on the second floor of the bank.
He went to the bathroom’s storage room.
He opened the door.
There were two people inside. They were tied up and their mouths were glued shut.
They were the bank security guards.
Earlier, Jon had Will Smith tie up the two bank security guards and lock them in the storage room.
The two security guards were confused.
They were tied up for no reason.
Because they didn’t fight back. They were cooperative the whole time.
But they were still tied up.
After Jon opened the door, he tore off the tape on their mouths. Then, he took out two practice bombs from his backpack.
“These two are remote-controlled bombs. The remote control is in my hands.”
“Later, I will put these two things on your bodies. If you don’t listen, I will detonate the bomb. At that time, you will be blown to pieces with a bang.”, Jon said with a cold smile.
In fact, these were not remote-controlled bombs.
They were two practice bombs.
They had no lethality.
The reason why he said they were remote-controlled bombs was to deceive these two security guards.
Coupled with Jon’s fierce temperament, the security personnel had already believed that these were real remote-controlled bombs.
They were so scared that their legs were trembling.
Then, Jon tied the two bombs to the two of them.
Then, he put on the same clothes and masks as himself.
Then, Jon took them to the hall on the first floor.
The two security guards had no intention of resisting.
Jon let the two security guards sit in front of the hostages, while he took the G36-C assault rifle and sat next to them.
“Leon, reconnect the surveillance signal except for the safe area.”
Then Jon took out the walkie-talkie and said to Leon Evans in the surveillance room.
“Roger.”, Leon Evans immediately followed Jon’s instructions.
At the same time in the command room, the screen that was flashing with snow showed the surveillance footage again.
When the technician saw this, he quickly said, “Sir, the surveillance footage in the bank is connected again.”
The commander rushed over.
He saw that the footage was restored.
He immediately said, “Zoom in on the surveillance footage of the hostages.”
The technician did as he was told.
The commander counted the hostages. There were nine of them. None of them were missing.
Then he looked at the scene where the robbers were.
Three robbers were sitting in the chair opposite the hostages. One robber was standing aside.
Two of the robbers had G36-C assault rifles in their hands. Another two robbers had no guns in their hands.
It was exactly the same situation as before they entered the safe.
This scene made the commander somewhat uncertain.
The same people. The robbers and the hostages did not change.
Then.
During the period when the surveillance signal was cut off, what did Jon do?
Could it be that he did not do anything?
Something was wrong.
If it was Jon who had the surveillance image cut off, but he did not use this time to do anything, it did not make sense.
Could it be that the surveillance signal was not cut off by Jon?
“Other than being cut off by the robber, was there any other situation where the surveillance signal was cut off by something else?”
The commander pondered for a moment and asked the technician.
“Yes, sir. Since we are using a network connection to monitor the situation, there are many situations where the connection would be affected.”, the technician said.
The commander nodded.
In other words, the situation where the signal was cut off just now was not done by Jon?
At this moment, he noticed that there was a black backpack next to Jon.
The backpack was bulging, and it was obvious that there was something inside.
It should be the target of the bank robbery.
In other words, when the surveillance signal was cut off just now, it wasn’t Jon’s doing, and he didn’t do anything else.
During the time the surveillance signal was cut off, he just robbed the money and came back.
This explanation made sense.
Because from the surveillance footage, everything was normal.
It was a normal robbery process.
From entering the bank, to taking hostages, to threatening the manager to open the bank and take the money out.
This process was too normal.
Moreover, the technician reported the number of hostages was nine, and the number of robbers in the hall was four.
There was no change in the current situation.
It was a perfect match.
Although the two security guards were slightly larger than Will Smith and Brown Williams, they were wearing loose clothing, and the two of them were sitting in chairs with their backs to the camera, so the difference in size was not easily seen.
At this moment.
Through the live stream, the audience also saw the scene in the bank.
“It looks like Jon has already robbed the money. Next, he should think of a way to escape. The face-to-face confrontation between the police and bandits is about to begin.”
“Do you guys think that this time, Jon will be able to successfully escape?”
“I never doubt that Jon will be able to escape. I’m just curious what method he will use to escape.”
“Hopefully, it will bring us a shocking escape.”
At this moment, everyone including the commander, the police officers in the command room, and the audience in the live stream. They all thought that Jon had already gotten the money, and now it was time for him to think of a way to escape.
