Chapter 100 - In the End, It Was All for Nothing!
Furthermore, Jon had left a note under the blanket?
If he had not returned after checking in, could it be that when he checked in, he had already expected the police officers to come here?
After the SWAT team leader reported, there was no reply from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
In the temporary command room.
After the commander heard the SWAT team leader’s report, his originally smiling face instantly darkened.
His mood was extremely terrible.
He wasn’t even in the mood to respond to the SWAT team leader.
The SWAT team leader put down the walkie-talkie and walked around the room again. Then, he came to the corridor outside the door and saw that there were two cameras on the walls on both sides.
The SWAT team leader turned around and gave an order to a SWAT team officer, “Find someone to check the surveillance records.”
“See if Jon has been back in the last two hours. Also, look at the surveillance footage of the time Jon stayed in the room.”
“Yes, Sir!”
The SWAT team member heard this and saluted, then quickly went to do it.
The SWAT team leader walked out of the hotel and squatted at the door, lighting a cigarette with a dispirited look.
In fact, the SWAT leader was trying to quit smoking.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t smoke once in a few days, and the cigarette in his pocket was just for the sake of pretending.
But now, he couldn’t help but smoke one.
Because he was in a terrible mood now.
It was too frustrated.
He was fooled by Jon again and again, but this time, they didn’t lose any SWAT team members unlike the raid in the bank.
However, the current situation was even more ridiculous than that in the bank.
Because no matter what, in the bank, Jon had hostages that restrained the police, but this time, Jon had nothing.
Just like that, the police were still fooled by him.
It was really annoying.
When the police captain outside saw the SWAT team leader, he knew that the operation was still a failure.
Jon was still not caught, so the SWAT team leader was undoubtedly in a bad mood.
Therefore, the police captain was very tactful and did not ask anything.
A few minutes later, the SWAT team leader smoked two cigarettes in a row, threw the cigarette filter on the ground, and stepped on it with the tip of his foot.
He used a lot of force.
It was like there was not a cigarette under his foot, but Jon.
Then, he turned around and returned to the hotel.
“Sir, in the past two hours, Jon has not been seen coming back. This is the surveillance footage from when Jon was staying at the hotel.”
Seeing the SWAT team leader walked over, the two police officers who were checking the surveillance quickly reported the situation.
Even though the hotel had a lot of people and it was not easy to find their target, the technical police officers still quickly checked the surveillance footage.
They did not miss anything.
After listening to the reports of the two police officers, the SWAT team leader sighed and could not help but shake his head.
The surveillance cameras did not capture Jon returning, which meant that Jon really had not come back.
Because in this hotel, whether it was the front door or the back door, there were 360-degree surveillance cameras, not a single blind spot.
Since the surveillance cameras couldn’t find Jon, it meant that Jon had never come back.
Since he didn’t come back, then why did he specially book a room?
Was it to wait for the police to find out and mock the police?
He couldn’t figure it out. The SWAT team leader couldn’t figure it out no matter what.
Since he couldn’t figure it out, he might as well not think about it.
Coming to the surveillance screen, he prepared to look at the video of Jon booking the room.
Seeing him take out his identity information and check in with the help of the front desk, he took the key and went upstairs.
It took about four or five minutes to enter Room 508.
Jon came out again, locked the door, and was about to leave the hotel.
But before he left, Jon suddenly looked up at the monitor and stared at it for a few seconds.
Then, Jon revealed a mysterious smile.
He lowered his head and walked away.
Seeing this scene, the SWAT team leader frowned.
What did he mean by that smile?
Could it be that he knew that he or the other police officers would look at the camera?
Did he deliberately smile for them to see?
However, although he did not know what Jon’s smile meant, the SWAT team leader could now confirm that Jon had indeed not returned after leaving the room.
Because all the items in the room had not been used.
As for the bed in the room, the items piled up into a human shape under the quilt, as well as notes, and the light that was on.
It should have been done by Jon within a few minutes of entering the room.
“Retreat! The robbers aren’t here. We’ve all been fooled.”
After watching the surveillance video, the SWAT team leader said helplessly to his team members.
He looked at his team members’ expressions and was also disappointed and dejected.
He sighed in his heart.
After all, he was extremely excited when he joined the drill. He thought that he would definitely be able to successfully capture Jon this time.
However, no one expected that it turned out to be like this.
Not only did he not capture Jon, but he also didn’t even see his face.
He was even ridiculed by the note that Jon left behind.
This unexpected turn made him and the members of the SWAT team shocked.
It was already early in the morning.
12:10 am.
Although there were still more than 20 hours before it ended, there was no breakthrough at all for the police.
If they could not find any valuable clues in the next 20 hours or so, the police officers would be like headless chickens. They couldn’t do anything and waited for the drill to end, watching the robbers win.
Temporary command room.
This time, the commander did not look at the map or the surveillance cameras. He came to the back where the headlights could not reach.
He lit a cigarette.
In the darkness, the flame flickered. His face was completely hidden in the darkness. No one knew what he was thinking.
After smoking three cigarettes in a row, the commander walked out of the darkness and returned to the temporary command room.
Looking at the map, his eyes were a little stiff.
It was quite a blow.
This was because since the start of the drill, the police’s actions had basically all ended in failure.
There wasn’t a single time when they successfully arrested Jon.
Instead, they were tricked again and again.
It would have been fine if they were tricked one or two times.
But if it had been too many times, anyone would be mad.
Even the commander, who had been in the police force for many years, felt a little frustrated.
Ten minutes later, the SWAT team leader came back.
He took off his bulletproof vest and threw it aside. He entered the temporary command room, poured himself a glass of water, and gulped it down.
After finishing the glass of water, the SWAT team leader said angrily, “That kid, Jon ids really an annoying brat. He’s just playing with us.”
“From the beginning until now, the police have not completely taken the initiative. We have been tricked by him over and over. This feeling is really terrible.”
