Chapter 120 Misunderstanding
Leaving a problem will leave!
Hodge shook his head. At this time, the smoke screen stimulated by the tear gas had gradually become sparse, and the situation in the cafe gradually became clear. The police outside became cautious because of the explosion just now and did not dare to break in easily. The hostages were coughing loudly because of the tear gas, with tears in their eyes.
Except for the two special forces members who broke in through the street window, the bombs were affected by bombs, the others were already chasing the robbers in the car that took advantage of the chaos.
Their first mission is to kill the robbers. As for saving the hostages, it was the matter of the police outside, and they just took the opportunity.
The police were still watching outside, and the special forces team had already chased him out. Taking this opportunity, Hodge quickly shook his body and instantly came to the table where the bomb was placed. He didn't study much about the bomb. Looking at the bombs stuck to the back of the table, Hodge thought of the controller in the hand of the previous robber leader, and had some speculation in his mind. These bombs should be hand-controlled bombs.
As long as the leader did not press the control switch, the bomb should not explode easily. Thinking of this, Hodge no longer hesitated and directly removed the bomb!
Of course, Hodge's method of dismantling bombs is naturally different from those of bomb disposal experts. After all, one is professional and the other is wild.
Fortunately, the bomb was not large in size, and he could wrap it up with his hands together. Hodge's hands turned into a afterimage, quickly pulled it off the back of the table, and then tightly put it in his hands, not airtight!
Hodge held the bomb tightly in his hand. Seeing that it did not explode, he felt a little relieved, and then exerted a little force on his palms.
puff!
With a light sound, a smell of gunpowder floated in his palms. Hodge spread his hands and threw the debris that he had pinched into powder on the ground, and then quietly returned to Elizabeth's side.
At this time, the smoke screen had already floated out through the broken street-facing glass window. The hostages who were stimulated by tear gas and could not speak and could not open their eyes were also relieved, lying on the ground, breathing the fresh air desperately there.
After all, the stinging sensation in her throat like a needle is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear. Hodge hugged Elizabeth and stood up slowly. With such close contact, Hodge could smell a faint fragrance on her body, which made people feel very comfortable.
At this time, Elizabeth felt a little weak and unsteady all over her body. She pressed her whole body tightly into Hodge's arms and looked up gently at Hodge with a calm face. She suddenly felt an indescribable sense of security, which was something her brother could not give.
This feeling came from the moment the explosion sounded, Hoqi protected her under her body without hesitation to prevent her from being injured. Elizabeth glanced at Hoqi deeply, buried her head tightly in Hoqi's chest, and smelled the aura that made her a little intoxicated.
Elizabeth's actions. Hodge didn't care. He thought she was just frightened and too tired, so she still leaned on her.
The police had already rushed in, and Lawrence was the leader, and behind him was his friend Weber. In addition to the police, there were also ambulances who had arrived, while the media reporters outside were firmly stopped outside the cordon.
At the scene, except for the two unlucky special forces team members, there were only three hostages who were slightly injured. After Lawrence took the lead in rushing in, he saw that no hostages were dead. His guilty face also eased a lot.
At the same time, I expressed my deep admiration for my partner's decisiveness. Lawrence could imagine that if he followed his own method before, it would likely have caused more serious consequences.
Those bombs are proof.
Soon, everyone walked out of the cafe accompanied by medical staff, while Elizabeth still buried her head in Hodge's arms and refused to leave, which made Hodge, who had originally wanted to catch up with Brian to see the situation, feel a little amused and crying.
"How are those robbers?" In the cafe, police officers were around to explore the scene, looking for any missing bombs. Webber squatted on the ground, looking at the ball of debris in front of him, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
"They escaped from the sewer in the inner hall, and the special operations team has followed." Lawrence frowned and said seriously.
Webber stood up and looked at the hostages rescued in ambulances outside with his eyes calmly, as if looking for something. "The sewer is like a dungeon, and the special operations team is not enough. Notify New Scotland Yard that we need to increase the search personnel."
Webber said in a deep voice as he looked around the rescued hostages.
Obviously, London's sewers are a place that makes them extremely painful. After all, a sewer with a total length of 2,000 kilometers and crisscrossing underground is definitely not something that can be searched by dozens or hundreds of people. Therefore, many criminals will use it as an escape route to avoid police pursuits.
This made the police grit their teeth and were helpless.
After hearing this, Lawrence was a little silent. Obviously, he was also very clear about the situation of the sewer. It was inevitable that Webber asked for help from New Scotland Yard. After all, the staff of the London City Police Department could not pursue the robbers hiding in the sewer.
Only New Scotland Yard has so many police forces to conduct large-scale searches. After all, the City of London Police only manages one city, while New Scotland Yard manages the entire London except the City of London.
"Sir, this is the only thing that should be from a certain customer." Just as Lawrence was calling for support, a police officer came to Webber and handed over a small black notebook.
Webber took the computer and found that the computer was not special outside of being sturdy. He handed it to his subordinates, and his eyes were still looking at a celebrity hostage, and he casually said: "Take it back to its owner, there is nothing special."
After sending his subordinates, Weber began to observe the customers sitting in the ambulance and being questioned by the police. The eight waiters were first excluded by him because the panic on their faces proved that there was no one he wanted to find. Of course, if the other party was an acting master, then Weber could only admit his luck.
Turning his eyes, a pair of young lovers hugging each other, and a pale middle-aged man next to them. Although the couple was handsome and pretty, they were all ordinary people. The young man looked dull, and his girlfriend kept burying her head in her boyfriend's arms. This was a scared couple, Webber commented secretly in his heart.
At this time, if Hodge could read the mind, he would be angry with Weber. He was just observing the battle between Brian and the group of robbers. Why did he become a frightened young couple?
Weber did not sense any special energy in the two of them at all. Instead, Weber felt a powerful energy reaction in the pale middle-aged man.
Looking at the pile of debris under his feet, Weber frowned and then focused his eyes on the middle-aged man.
Weber is very confident in his response because that is his ability!
He is not an ordinary person, but a mutant. Although this world is very repulsive to mutants, there are always some special departments that attach great importance to the abilities of those mutants.
For example, the seventh innings in the UK.
Although Webber is an ostensibly a sheriff, he is actually an investigator from the Seventh Bureau. He was arranged to prevent foreign mutants or people with special abilities from entering the UK.
After all, the destructive power caused by that group of people is very great, so no matter what the other party came to London, they will strictly guard against that type of person and monitor the other party's movements all the time until the other party leaves.
The middle-aged man had a sloppy image, with messy short golden hair, pale face, deep eye sockets, high cheekbones on his cheeks, a hooked nose, and a gloomy face.
However, just as Weber was looking at the middle-aged man from afar, the middle-aged man seemed to notice it and turned to look at Weber.
"Haha, I'm very alert." Webber didn't care when he saw that he was discovered by a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man glanced at Webber, then quickly lowered his head. Although he did not do anything like Tebi, his breath became thicker, his face was a little distorted, and there was a faint greenness in his eyes.
Just as Weber and the middle-aged man looked at each other, Hodge comforted Elizabeth with helpless expressions, not noticed at all. A gaze of suspicion swept across him before.
At this time, Elizabeth leaned tightly in Hodge's arms, without any intention of leaving. She only heard her whisper to Hodge: "Where did Brian go?" There was worry and complaining in her tone.
Hodge didn't know how to answer, just look at Elizabeth's situation. Brian had never told her about her affairs at all. Obviously, he didn't want his sister to know. Hodge was not easy to expose it. It was impossible to tell Elizabeth directly, "Your brother went to beat the bad guys?"
So, Hodge could only comfort him softly: "Don't worry, he won't be in trouble."
However, Hodge's comfort only brought Elizabeth's eyes, "You don't need to comfort me like this. You don't know where he is, how could you know if he is okay?"
"Uh..." After Elizabeth said this, Hodge was speechless for a moment. Isn't this trying to comfort you? Isn't it so unhappy, and what Hodge said was the truth. He saw Brian's every move. The robbers had no power of resistance under his command, and both sides were not at the same level at all!
