"This was also one of the reasons we were dissatisfied, although we got quite a bit of loot, all we could do was look at it."

"Was the new robbery still planned by Soster?"

"Yes."

"What was the target?"

"I truly don't know, Soster only told me to wait for news."

"What's Soster's full name?"

"I don't know, he's very secretive, and I'm not even sure his name is real or fake."

"What about Marbury's full name?"

"Marbury was brought in by him, I know even less about him."

"Do you have their photos?"

"No, that's a taboo, I don't want to look for trouble."

Luke fell silent for a moment, without knowing their full names, and even doubting the authenticity of their names, without photos either, it was hard to confirm the true identities of the other two robbers.

There were a total of five robbers in the bank robbery, now one robber had been killed, two robbers had been caught and brought to justice, leaving two robbers on the run.

And these two fugitive robbers, one was the mastermind of the case, the other killed an FBI agent using a bomb.

If they couldn't be captured in time, they might commit crimes again...

With three suspects already in custody, who had associations with each other in the past, Luke didn't believe they couldn't find any trace of the other two suspects, there must be details that were overlooked or not paid attention to.

"What car were they driving?"

"A black Honda."

"What was the license plate number?"

"5leb322."

Luke noted down this important clue and continued to ask, "How did you meet Soster?"

"Uh... it's a long story, we've known each other for many years."

"Have you collaborated before?"

"Sir, if you want to investigate the bank robbery, I will hold nothing back.

But I really can't remember the past affairs. We've indeed known each other a long time and also lost contact for a while."

Even if the other party didn't say so, Luke knew he must have a criminal record from before, Jerrang Kazafei's expertise was being a safecracker, able to quickly open the bank's vault, which attested to his expert status. He must have cracked many locks in the past, or he wouldn't have had the skill.

Luke didn't rush to delve into his past cases and asked, "Since you haven't been in contact for a long time, how did he find you?"

Burner phones are only used during criminal activities; they can't serve as tools for long-term contact.

"He sent me an email."

"Where do you usually check your email?"

"On my phone."

"Captain, his phone is here." Marcus handed Luke a transparent bag.

"What's the password?"

"634522."

Luke unlocked the phone, found the mailbox, and asked, "Is it this email?"

"Yes, he asked to meet me at the bar."

"So, does the bar have surveillance?"

"It seems to."

"It seems we have a photo of the suspect." After saying this, Luke handed the phone to the tech team, "Mary, check this email address fast."

"I want to do it quickly too," Mary pointed at the house, "but we have to do it one at a time."

Luke said, "Email address is the priority."

"As you wish."

...

The next morning.

The Robbery and Murder Department office, the first team's office.

Two suspects had been captured last night, and the crime scene investigation had continued until midnight; most of the stolen goods had been recovered.

Early this morning, Luke had received praise from Reid, encouraging him to continue his efforts and capture the remaining two fugitives as soon as possible.

However, Luke knew this wasn't going to be easy.

Upon investigation, it was found that Soster had used a fake license plate vehicle, making it impossible to track his identity.

The emails he used were sent over a public network, diminishing their value for tracking purposes.

The surveillance footage from the bar did capture Soster, which had been sent to the technical department for face recognition and database comparison.

Time passed, second by second...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, after the facial data comparison, they finally identified one of the suspects' identities.

Name, Marbury Karl

Gender, Male

Age, 36 years old

Address, No. 202 in Vitelli Community

Social Security number, 623-53-7342

Criminal Record, robbery, possession of dangerous goods

License plate number, 3leb329

Seeing the suspect's criminal record, Luke was almost certain that this was the bomb expert Marbury they were looking for.

With the suspect possibly committing another crime at any moment, Luke didn't wait and directly led his team to the residence.

Considering the suspect's special identity and the possibility of bombs being in his house, Luke made more thorough preparations this time.

First, he applied for police dog support; the dogs could smell the scent of explosives.

Next, Luke borrowed a high-tech gadget from the disassembly team.

A remote-controlled car equipped with a camera, its camera could move and see almost every corner of a room, increasing the safety of the search.

Of course, this tool had its drawbacks, such as being unable to look inside cabinets or go upstairs, but for the situation at hand, it was quite practical.

Luke waited outside the residence of the suspect, Marbury Karl, for two hours without any movement.

Considering that all departments were present and the equipment was fully prepared, Luke decided not to wait any longer.

First, the police opened the door and sent the remote-controlled car with the camera inside to look around; they found no suspicious individuals or bombs.

With the first layer of security confirmed, the police, fully armed, entered the house with the police dogs to search.

"Woof woof..."

Upon entering the bedroom, the police dog barked furiously at the cabinet door.

No suspect was found, but a bomb was likely present.

Immediately, the officers vacated the house, and the bomb squad went into the bedroom...

Ten minutes later, the bomb squad emerged from the house; indeed, explosives and parts for making bombs were stored in the cabinet but were not assembled, and thus, not dangerous.

After all, unless someone had lost their mind, no one would install a bomb in their own house.

With the danger cleared, the police began a further search of the house; from the explosives and photos in the room, it was confirmed that this was indeed the home of the robber Marbury Karl, but according to the neighbors, he had not been seen in the last couple of days.

His absence from home suggested that he might have other hiding places or could have already started preparing for a second robbery.

Luke's sense of urgency intensified.

Jackson called out from the garage door, "Captain, I found something here."

Luke walked over and saw a black Honda car in the garage, which had a new license plate but was likely the same car driven by the robber before.

Jackson said, "Captain, I checked the car's dash cam and found a clue in it."

"What clue?"

"On September 30 and October 2, this car was on the same stretch of road, following the same person," Jackson said, opening the video to play a clip.

In the video, a white woman was cycling, and though she was at some distance, the car continued to tail her.

Marcus laughed, "Is the robber secretly in love with this woman?"

Luke speculated, "She could also be the robber's next target."

Jackson gave a thumbs up, "Captain, we're on the same page."

"She's the new target?" Marcus asked skeptically, "Does this woman have more money than a bank?"

Jackson laughed, "I don't know if she's richer than a bank, but her bicycle costs more than your Toyota."
