Chapter 31: Garbage Truck Escape?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Phew…
The cold wind howled.
Jon tightened his clothes and stood outside.
Now, he needed to face the police again.
And this time, the battlefield was not in the city.
It was in the suburbs.
It was a different battlefield, but Jon did not want to waste time with the police.
He knew that his only advantage now was that he knew the other party’s location.
And the other party had not figured out his location yet.
He hoped that the two vagrants he had just let go would be able to confuse the police for a while.
Jon took out the small binoculars in his pocket.
The garbage truck not far away was slowly starting up.
The garbage trucks that came out of the garbage incineration station were usually empty.
The reason Jon wrapped the big black bag in a plastic bag was to throw it into the garbage truck to fool the police.
The “little surprise” he had prepared in the factory could hold off the police for a while.
Now he had about an hour to prepare.
After a short jog, Jon climbed over the wall and sneaked into the garbage incinerator.
There was no barbed wire or razor blades here.
This was a garbage dump. Who would steal here?
And according to the previous scouting, Jon had figured out the pattern.
A garbage truck usually had a driver and a cleaner.
They worked together.
And Jon’s goal today…
…
After a few seconds the shot was fired, the north police team report back immediately.
Receiving instructions from the sheriff, they said yes.
Everyone was still searching the area as planned.
They had already been fooled several times.
They couldn’t continue to be fooled.
Just as the person-in-charge of the police squad was thinking so, suddenly, the police dog started barking crazily at a dark place.
“Woof!”
“Woof woof!”
There was a situation!
“Raise your hands and don’t move!”
The person-in-charge of the squad immediately shone the searchlight on the police car!
And pointed the gun in his hand.
Under the searchlight, two slovenly-dressed hobos raised their hands and stood up.
The squad leader immediately went forward in excitement!
Because the sheriff had told them that this robber was extremely cunning.
It was very likely that he would disguise himself as anyone, so he needed to confirm with the people around him at any time.
These two slovenly-dressed hobos fit very well into the conditions that the sheriff said.
When the vagrants saw so many police officers, they almost peed.
Weren’t they just drunk? Did they need so many police officers to arrest them?
Under the light, the two of them trembled.
With more than a hundred police officers pointing their guns at them, they could brag to all the vagrants in New York.
“Put your hands in the air! Turn around! Routine search!”
The two vagrants naturally cooperated with the search obediently.
After the police officers inspected them, they reported to the team leader.
“These two people are not wearing makeup. Confirm that they are not the robber, Jon!”
They were not?
The police team leader shouted at them loudly.
“F*ck!”
Anyone who searched for the robber in this cold wind would not have a good temper.
“Why don’t you f*cking stay in the bridge hole! What are you doing here?!”
The police officer scolded the two of them fiercely.
“S… Sir… We got drunk and lost our way.”
“We wanted to spend the night in the abandoned factory in front of us, but we found a demon here.”
The two homeless men felt that they were extremely unlucky today.
Not only did they lose a friend today, but they also met a man who looked like a demon. In the end, they were even pointed at by the police.
“Demon?”
The police officer immediately caught a very strange message.
“Tell me more about the demon.”
A look of horror suddenly appeared in the expression of the tramp.
He suddenly started to speak incoherently.
“His eyes… are like the eyes of a demon.”
“His body… is like a strong warrior.”
“He must have taken John away! He must have killed John!!”
Fear instantly appeared in their eyes.
It was as if they had seen something that would terrify them for the rest of their lives.
When the person-in-charge of the police force saw this, he knew that it was another two addicts who were addicted to drugs.
Then, he looked at the two of them with disdain.
He let them go.
With their current expressions, it was obvious that they could not get anything out of them.
He took out the walkie-talkie on his chest and dialed the sheriff’s communication channel.
“Report! Sheriff! We found two vagrants here.”
“According to their statements, they saw a demon in an abandoned factory three kilometers ahead, suspected to be the robber, Jon.”
“Request permission to arrest!”
The person-in-charge of the northern team immediately consolidated the information he found and reported it to the sheriff.
The sheriff heard that there was a new development in the matter.
He could not help but think for a while.
They could not give up the advantage of the police’s encirclement for the time being.
The encirclement that they had painstakingly reduced was the key to their police’s victory.
However, there was a high probability that they had already found Jon.
The sheriff asked James and the other two at this time.
“James, what do you guys think?”
James said, “Sheriff, the time is with us now. Just to be safe, don’t force the formation to be disrupted.”
“Ryan, Ian, what do you think?”
Ryan said, “If that gunshot could still be a trap, then this homeless man is definitely not. The chances are that what they said is true.”
“I suggest that the police team in the north absolutely do not speed up the search. The more anxious Jon is, the more flaws will be exposed.”
Ian said, “I do not see Jon on the camera. If Jon does not make a move, it will take at most an hour to find him. I do not think that you are short of an hour, sheriff.”
After listening to their words, the sheriff could not help but admire them. They were really calm.
He even wished that he could go to the north to arrest Jon himself.
But they were really too steady.
The sheriff had no choice but to give up on this idea.
Since the three of them had said so, he would wait for another hour!
There were still a few hours before daybreak!
He could totally afford to wait.
The sheriff took out his walkie-talkie and said to the person-in-charge of the northern team.
“Keep in formation, don’t be rash. Time is on our side, don’t give the robber any chance!”
The sheriff briefly expressed his thoughts.
It had been two consecutive times.
The sheriff was unmoved.
The live broadcast media felt that the sheriff this time was really quite reliable.
The bullet comments at the scene were also optimistic.
“Two consecutive attempts failed. Does Jon really have no other tricks up his sleeve this time?”
“If there is only one way to win in the world, it is to be like the sheriff who is completely unmoved by temptation.”
“To be honest, Jon is already very good up to now. If it were anyone else, they would have already surrendered and admitted defeat.”
“I agree, too. Although I know that Jon will be arrested in the end, I will still cheer for him.”
At this moment, all the bullet messages were cheering for Jon.
Because they thought that in this cat and mouse game, it was only a matter of time before Jon was arrested.
