"The people there will definitely treat you warmly, very warmly..."
Soba Doyle broke out in a sweat, "OK, I admit, I shot those videos."
"Where is the kidnapped girl?"
"I don't know, I only went there to film, I'm just responsible for filming, those two girls have nothing to do with me."
"Then who are they related to?"
Luke pulled out six photos for him to identify, "Pick out those two people's photos."
Soba picked out two photos from those on the table, which were indeed the other two suspects.
Little Black expressed his dissatisfaction, "Hey, man, think about what I just said."
"I really don't know. I usually don't have any contact with them."
"How do you contact them?"
"Through the dark web."
"Can you still contact them now?"
"I can leave a message for them, but whether they will respond or when they will, I don't know."
Luke thought for a moment, "Where was the video shot?"
"In a house in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles."
"I need the exact address."
A black van was parked not far away, and Luke sat inside it, looking through the window at the gray house not far away, saying, "According to Soba's description, the filming location is in that house, and there's a basement at the back of the house.
The two girls are hidden in the basement, they are taken into the house for grooming and makeup before filming, I guess the two girls might still be held in the basement.
Our primary goal is to ensure the safety of the two girls, if they're still alive, to rescue them first."
Little Black asked, "What about the two suspects?"
Luke speculated, "If the two girls are hidden in the basement, then at least one suspect is hiding in the house, once we rescue the two girls, the suspect hiding in the house will be like a turtle in a jar.
However, there's another possibility, that the suspects might also be hiding in the basement, the rescue process might be dangerous.
Considering the narrow entrance to the basement, only one or two people can go in to check it out first."
Jackson volunteered, "Captain, let me do it."
"Your courage is commendable, we also need one person for cover."
Little Black said, "I'll go too."
"Be careful, we'll support you from above." For a moment, Luke wanted to take the lead since he had a Bullet-Proof Card, which meant the danger level would be much lower than for the others.
But Luke couldn't always shield them from the wind and rain, they needed to have opportunities to learn.
Just like Jackson, who was eager to try, this was also an opportunity for him, and Luke didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.
Jackson and Little Black put on bulletproof vests, took pistols and strong flashlights, and stealthily entered the backyard of the gray house.
Luke and others hid outside the backyard fence, peeking through the gaps to watch the backyard.
Jackson and Little Black approached the house and started looking for the entrance to the basement, and after some searching, Little Black uncovered a piece of turf, revealing a metal cover underneath.
The two exchanged a glance, Little Black lifted the metal cover, and Jackson crossed his arms, holding the pistol in his right hand and the strong flashlight in his left, illuminating the basement.
Jackson shone the light, didn't see any figures, but could faintly hear noises, and there was a wooden ladder going down.
Jackson gritted his teeth, went down the ladder directly, using the flashlight in his left hand to illuminate other areas of the basement, the basement space was not small, there was a wooden bed in both the southeast and northeast corners, and each bed had a girl tied to it.
Both girls were bound and their mouths sealed with tape, they made 'mmph mmph' noises when they saw Jackson.
"Don't be afraid, don't make a sound, we are from the Los Angeles Police," Jackson whispered comfortingly.
However, the moment he spoke, the two girls became even more agitated, their cries for help louder.
The ordeal of this period and their desire for freedom had caused them to lose their ability to think.
At this moment, Little Black also came down from above and said quietly, "We're here to save you, don't panic, we haven't caught the suspects yet, don't..."
Little Black didn't finish speaking when a light appeared from the top of the east side of the basement, and a head peeked out, the face was unclear, likely a man.
They looked at each other, both stunned for a moment.
The basement had two entrances, one inside the house and one outside.
Little Black raised his pistol and shouted, "LAPD, don't move!"
Jackson also raised his gun on alert, "Drop your weapon!"
Before he finished speaking, the head retracted, and then footsteps were heard.
Little Black cursed, grabbing the radio, "Captain, both girls are in the basement, no life-threatening danger, but the suspects have discovered us, they might flee or fight back."
"Received, stay safe, I'm sending officers to back you up," Luke sighed with relief, ready to send patrol officers to assist.
Suddenly, noise erupted from the front yard.
"Put your hands where I can see them."
"Come out immediately!"
Luke hurriedly ran to the front yard, only to see an Indian man crawling halfway out of a window, raising his hands and shouting, "I'm unarmed, don't shoot."
Raymond and Jenny walked over, pulled him out of the window, handcuffed him, and searched him.
Raymond lifted the Indian man up, "He's unarmed."
Luke asked, "Why didn't you use the door?"
"I had blocked the door, originally thinking you'd break down the door, which could delay some time, then I planned to escape from the basement, but when I realized there was movement in the basement, I panicked... and thought of escaping through the window."
Luke asked, "Where is Franco Ture?"
"He always stays in a trailer."
"Where's the trailer?"
Raul Jiputa stood up, raised his hands pointing towards the garage but before he could speak...
A loud noise erupted as the garage door was smashed open.
A trailer burst out from inside, crashing through the fence, nearly hitting a patrol officer nearby, and swiftly turned into the community driveway...
