Chapter 982 In Hawaii (9)

After Cheng Hao and the HPD police officers cleared the space in front of the house, they checked the two cars. The unmarked car was originally parked there.

But when they checked the police car, they found two bodies stuffed in the trunk. However, they did not speak out immediately because they were worried that it would affect Jack's first aid.

"So the killer killed the two police officers beforehand, then changed into their uniforms and drove their car here, so the FBI agent left the house unguarded and appeared in the open area."

Danny walked to the spot where the old agent had fallen, looked at the house about 20 to 30 meters away, turned his head and frowned, and said, "The agent realized something was wrong after he got closer and tried to draw his gun to fight back, but was shot by the opponent who was prepared."

"But where is the killer?" Jack felt that this didn't make sense. From the tire tracks at the scene, there was no sign of a third car. Could it be that the killer was still nearby?

"Go in and take a look, you'll see that Julie is a girl full of fighting spirit." Kono, who had gone into the house with Danny to search before, pointed to the small wooden house.

Many houses in tropical areas are built like stilt houses, with the first floor separated from the ground by a distance, probably to avoid the humidity during the rainy season.

Jack lived in the Jiangnan region in his previous life, so he had some experience with this. Every year during the "yellow plum season", no matter whether it was a building or a bungalow, the ground on the first floor would always be covered with water droplets.

The wooden house used as a safe house is quite cozy. It seems that Julie Master and the FBI agent have lived here for some time.

The novels on the bookshelf were a little messy. Jack even saw Cassel's new book - the Nikki Hitt series and his own domineering boss novels on the coffee table. Considering that there was no internet or signal here, reading seemed to be the only pastime.

What was out of tune with everything around was the muddy footprints on the ground. Danny, who had just searched the entire house with Kono, pointed at the footprints and the direction they extended.

"Two people, tall, at least size 11 shoes, went straight in the direction of the bathroom."

Everyone carefully avoided the footprints on the ground, walked around the living room corridor, and saw a smashed door and more messy footprints.

Kono pointed to the messy footprints on the ground and said, "These were left by high heels. They found Julie, but what happened afterwards was obviously beyond the killers' expectations."

She led everyone into the bathroom, where the footprints were even messier, and in addition to the footprints, there were also bullet shells and burn marks.

"9mm bullets, at least three shots were fired." Cheng Hao picked up a shell casing on the ground with a pen and said in a positive tone. Then he looked at the broken door and the black burn marks on the wall next to it with some doubts, "What is this? Someone tried to set a fire?

"Let me show you." Jack put on gloves, picked up a can of antiperspirant and a lighter from the ground, lit the lighter and pressed the spray head of the antiperspirant.

The heat wave that hit him made Cheng Hao subconsciously take a half step back. Instead of being surprised, he looked happy. "She is such a smart girl."

"If this girl is still alive, I'd like to meet her." Curnow walked to a broken glass window in the bathroom. "She burned one of them and then jumped out from here."

Jack looked at the bloodstains on the glass window, then at the tropical jungle in the distance, and frowned. "She was cut by the glass. The injury is quite serious. I hope she was not caught up by those killers."

He raised his hand to check the time and estimated in his mind, "We are more than three hours behind, but considering that the two killers have not returned to retrieve the car, I think there should still be a chance."

"Not only do we have to find Julie, but we also have to send her to Honolulu before the trial." Danny looked at the vast jungle and the distant ridges in confusion.

“The question is where do we start looking.”

"It's not us, it's me," Jack said firmly.

-

"Water, energy bars, GPS, satellite phone, everything you need is in here." Danny sorted the things out and helped stuff them into Jack's backpack, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

"Are you sure you want to go in alone?"

"If any of you have received specialized training like me, you can come along, otherwise you should wait for the search party to assemble."

It wasn't as if Jack was trying to be a hero, but a tropical jungle was still a tropical jungle.

Although Oahu is the most developed island in the Hawaiian Islands and there is theoretically no real uninhabited area, this does not mean that you can go deep into the jungle at will.

The danger is secondary. The main problem is that there are only two satellite phones. One needs to be left here waiting for the search team to join us, so only one is left for use.

If someone loses contact in the jungle, it will be like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, and we will have to send them off one by one.

Not only had Jack received training, he had also followed the guys from Team B to carry out missions in a real tropical rainforest. Before that, he had even been stranded on a desert island. This level of tropical jungle was not a challenge for him.

"McGarrett will definitely like this guy." As a local, Cheng Hao originally planned to go along, but was persuaded by what Jack said just now.

Although Kono is also a local, as a "mermaid", she is familiar with the sea and has never been deep into the island hinterland. Although there are no snakes in the Hawaiian Islands, there are many poisonous insects and leeches.

As for Danny, a city guy from New Jersey, the only type of jungle he was familiar with was the "concrete jungle", so when the search team arrived, Cheng Hao, the only person with some experience, would be needed to lead and organize the team.

The Steve McGarrett mentioned by Cheng Hao is Danny's good friend and partner, as well as the head of "Five-O", the major from the Navy SEALs.

Obviously, in everyone's opinion, if he was here at this moment, Jack would have a temporary partner.

"Don't worry, as long as she's still alive, I can get her out safely." Jack said as he wrote a note and handed it to Kono.

“Contact this number. This is my colleague Alice in New York. Ask her to help look up all the information about the defendant Allen Brenner and the so-called Baha drug cartel. The DEA must have relevant information.

Let Alice retrieve all the intelligence about this drug cartel, especially their usual assassination methods and team configuration, and then try to find the killer's identity based on this intelligence."

These killers dared to directly kill HPD police officers and federal agents. Jack didn't think they were temporarily hired by the Baha Group locally. These people must be from outside the island. If there was any clue, their identities could be ascertained through flight information.

Judging from the fact that these guys did not raid the safe house directly, but chose to intercept the HPD officers who came to respond, they may not be aware of the specific location of the safe house.

This shows that the local FBI office and HPD are both clean, and the only possible problem is with the court.

Thinking of this, Jack gave another reminder, "Ask the judge for a list of people who know about the transfer of witnesses today."

Originally, this case had nothing to do with him, but now the situation is different. The old agent who was shot is an FBI agent. Although the two of them have never met each other, they are colleagues.

Jack didn't really care about sending the witness before the trial opening at 5 p.m., because for Jack and the entire FBI, this case was no longer about helping to protect the witness.

Some colleagues fell for this. This case belongs to the FBI, and neither the DEA nor the federal marshals can do anything.

Even if the judge approved Allen Brenner's parole, it would be useless. The news that the agent was shot must have been reported back to the local office by now, and they would arrest him again as soon as the guy left the court.

The charges were already in place, and he was suspected of being involved in ordering the murder of two HPD officers and seriously injuring a federal agent, bringing the case directly back to the federal level.

As for the evidence, Jack insisted on going into the jungle alone not only to find the witness Julie, but also to hunt down the killers.

As long as they fall into his hands, Jack has plenty of means to make those hired killers "willingly" become witnesses to testify against the Baha drug cartel.

But these methods are definitely not open to the public. When Jack watched the show in his previous life, he knew that the Hawaiian special police "Five-O" were also quite shady, but after all, they had never officially cooperated with each other, so there was no need to scare them right away.
