Chapter 275: Door-to-door blackmail
After Luke's explanation, Lilith understood the whole process of the robbery.
"Then what do we do now?"
Luke thought for a moment and then said to her:
"You need to stay here and turn the case over to the FBI and file it."
"I pretended to stay in the hotel and left secretly."
Lilith nodded.
"Should we notify the team members?"
Luke thought about it for a moment and shook his head.
"It's inappropriate for them to be involved in this matter. Cancel the standby and continue training."
"Okay, boss."
At night, Luke quietly left the hotel and drove away from Washington in a stolen vintage car.
This old car was also Lilith's suggestion to Luke after analyzing many cars that had not been used for a long time.
Luke still trusts Lilith's analysis and calculations.
So after stealing the car, he made a slight disguise and returned to New York.
Arriving near an apartment building in Queens, Luke parked the car and walked into the apartment according to the address provided by Lilith.
When we arrived at the door of Room 306, we saw that the robbers inside were discussing how to deal with the diamonds.
At this time, Luke was wearing an old-fashioned black suit, top hat, and coat, a typical mafia outfit.
After knocking on the door, the person inside asked the visitor vigilantly.
Luke's answer was very bossy.
"If you don't open the door, this place will be surrounded by SWAT in three minutes."
The people inside had already pulled out their guns, but the leading robber stopped his companions from doing so.
"Open the door. If he really came to arrest us, he wouldn't knock."
After opening the door, Luke saw the leader of the robbers, who was the man Lilith photographed coming out of the bank.
After Luke entered the room, he looked around at the people inside.
Two big-breasted beauties, two old men, a young man, and the bandit leader, an adult man around thirty years old.
Luke walked straight to the table in the living room and sat down.
Looking at the slightly nervous people, he smiled.
"Okay, now let's talk about what you took from the bank."
The bandit leader came to Luke's side and looked at him.
"Were you sent by Arthur Case?"
Luke shook his head.
"If I was sent by him, you would be dead now. So, I don't ask who you are or where you are from. I just want what you took from the bank."
An old man said angrily:
"We risked our lives to get it. Why should we give it to you?"
Luke took out his FBI ID, but did not open the personal information page inside, only revealing the badge on the outside.
"Is this enough?"
When they saw the FBI ID Luke took out, their faces changed.
Luke put away his documents and said to the others:
"If you hold that thing, you will only die faster. But it will be different if you give it to me. It will ruin Arthur Keyes' reputation."
The robbers all looked at the leader in silence.
The man looked at Luke for a long time, then finally nodded.
"I can give it to you, but how can I believe you can do what you just said?"
Luke smiled.
"You have no choice. This thing is just a threat in your hands, but in my hands it will explode. If I hadn't been sure, I wouldn't have come here."
After several people looked at each other, the bandit leader said:
"You want diamonds too? Actually, they don't belong to us."
Luke nodded.
"You can't just take this thing. Once you do, you'll be targeted. And this is indeed ill-gotten gains."
Luke saw that none of them had red names, except for the bandit leader, who had a light red name.
Then Luke pulled out a typed note.
It has the name of a charitable foundation written on it.
"You can probably estimate the price of these diamonds. Afterwards, pay attention to the foundation's website. They will receive a donation."
Luke's action obviously confused the robbers.
They didn't believe that anyone could remain unmoved by such a large sum of money.
Luke knew they wouldn't believe it, but he was sure he could convince them.
"I know each of your personal information, and I also know that you are good people, so I came here in person to talk to you."
"If they wanted to arrest you, it would be easy. You have no choice now. Since you have to face Arthur Keyes, you should know how powerful he is."
The bandit leader took one last look at his men and said to Luke:
"Can we discuss this?"
Luke smiled and stretched out his hand and said to him:
"Go ahead, but don't even think about running away. I'm already monitoring this place. If you dare to run, Arthur Case will chase you to the ends of the earth without me having to do anything."
It has to be said that Luke's threat is more powerful than threatening with his own FBI identity.
Since they dared to steal Arthur Case's secret, they must have used it as a talisman.
They are safe only if it doesn't explode. Once it explodes, they will be in real danger.
If Arthur Keyes knew that it was them who did it, he would definitely fight to the death.
Finally, they went to a bedroom and discussed the matter behind closed doors.
It was more of an argument than a discussion.
Some people didn't believe Luke and wanted to kill him on the spot.
Some people also want to compromise and leave the vortex of right and wrong.
After listening to everyone's opinions, the bandit leader also expressed his own.
The last few people came out of the bedroom, and the bandit leader sat down opposite Luke.
"We can give you the documents, but we'll keep half of the diamonds. After all, we put a lot of effort into planning this operation."
Luke held out his finger and shook it.
"Don't treat the government as a fool. At most, each of you can keep one as a souvenir. I will deal with the rest and donate it to a charity fund."
"Of course, it would be best if you didn't leave any behind. That way you would still be innocent. Without evidence, no one would convict you."
At this time, a big-breasted female robber looked at Luke.
"You have no evidence now. Even if you arrest us..."
Luke interrupted her by reaching out his hand, grinning playfully at her.
"You think someone like me needs evidence?"
I have to say that Luke now has the temperament of a big boss. Just this one sentence has shocked everyone speechless.
They fooled the police, but were still caught by the mysterious FBI and found their way to the apartment.
Fortunately, he had no intention of arresting anyone, he just wanted to recover what they had taken from the bank.
It's just that their painstaking actions seemed like a farce.
It was all in vain...
Finally, the bandit leader sighed.
I have to admit, every word Luke said is correct.
If Luke really wanted to catch them, he really didn't need evidence. The reason of shooting them on the spot was too reasonable.
They knew that the guns they carried were enough to get killed by SWAT multiple times.
Finally, the leader of the robbers took out a file bag and a black velvet bag from the room.
The file bag contained the documents they stole from safe No. 392, and the velvet bag contained the diamonds.
Wow, there are at least hundreds of diamonds of different sizes.
Luke didn't open the velvet bag. He was only concerned about the file bag.
After opening it, Luke was surprised when he saw what was inside.
Damn, this guy, it’s better not to cooperate with him, he is really a big bomb...
