He was wearing a heavy dark blue bomb disposal suit, holding a detector in his hand, and walked slowly and steadily towards the black package.

He put a detector over the package to detect it.

After a while, he put the detector aside, took out his tools, and began to disassemble the package.

Everyone in front of the monitor screen took a deep breath and looked nervous.

Luke frowned slightly and said to Red beside him, "There seems to be something wrong with this procedure."

Rhett touched his chin, "The procedure has been simplified. It doesn't look like there's much of a problem."

Through the monitor, Luke could also see the process of dismantling the black package.

After opening the outer packaging, there was a cardboard box inside. When the lid of the cardboard box was opened, an object popped out with a loud "swish" sound, which shocked the bomb disposal officer and everyone in front of the monitor screen.

Luke took a closer look and saw that it was a clown bouncing toy filled with bullets.

A false alarm.

Or maybe it's a prank.

Later, the bomb disposal team took out a black hard drive from the bottom of the box.

The bomb disposal officer shouted, "Bomb deactivated."

"Safety."

Everyone was completely relieved.

The black hard drive was delivered to Rhett. He held it in his hand and observed that there was nothing special about it.

Red handed the hard drive to Xiao Hei, "Find a computer that is disconnected from the Internet and see what's inside?"

"Okay, Director."

Xiao Hei found a laptop, plugged in the hard drive, and opened the video file on the hard drive.

The background of the video is a bit dark. In the video, there is a person wearing a black cloak, a hood, and a white mask on his face, which looks a bit eerie.

"Hey, I'm sorry to meet you in this way, but this is the only way to get your attention.

Killing is not for purpose, but for lasting peace.

I still have many bombs similar to today's, which are more powerful and more lethal. I hope these bombs will never be used.

But it doesn't depend on me, it depends on you.

My request is simple.

Within 12 hours, L338, who was imprisoned in Tanamo Prison, was released.

If it is not released within the agreed time, there will be a new round of attacks with a wider range and greater damage.

Don't test my bottom line, as the result will be a Los Angeles riddled with holes.

More innocent citizens will die because of your decisions.

You only have 12 hours."

The video ends.

Rhett glanced at his watch and said, "It is now seven o'clock in the evening. Although it is a recording, the attacker cannot control the exact time when we watch the video, but it is roughly speculated that a new round of attacks is likely to be tomorrow morning."

Xiao Hei asked curiously, "Director, do you know who L338 is who asked for release in the video?"

"It's probably the code name of a terrorist leader in the Middle East, an extremely dangerous guy.

At the end of last year, he had just been imprisoned in Tanamo Prison, and his men have been trying to rescue him."

"Is it possible that he will be released?"

Rhett shook his head, "That's not something we can decide."

Luke also felt a little tricky. He had never encountered a similar situation before, "Should we continue to investigate this case, or should we hand it over to the FBI?"

"I have contacted the FBI Counterterrorism Division before coming here. They should be here soon."

"Should we continue investigating the broken corpse?"

Before Red could answer Luke's cell phone rang.

"It's Matthew calling. There may be new clues." After Luke finished speaking, he pressed the answer button, "I'm Luke."

"Captain, I screened the identity of the slaughterhouse employees and found a retired soldier named Honey Lister."

Luke asked, "Where did he serve?"

"middle East."

Luke said, "Send me this guy's information."

"Okay, Captain."

Luke hung up the phone and said, "Matthew found clues about the murderer of the corpse. He had worked in a slaughterhouse before and had experience serving in the Middle East."

Rhett thought for a while and said, "Find a way to find this person and keep an eye on his whereabouts, but don't arrest him immediately."

"I understand. When Matthew sends the information, I will take people to investigate near the suspect's home." This was Luke's first time facing a terrorist attack, and he felt a little unsure.

Rhett was still a little worried, so he pulled Luke aside and whispered, "This bag is too big and the credit is huge. We lapd alone can't eat it.

And what we are facing is probably terrorists, who are more vicious and cruel than the previous suspects.

I know you and your people don't want to give up this credit, and neither do I.

But all you have to do is investigate, and leave the rest to the FBI. They are more experienced in this area, and we just need to assist them. This case is a great contribution, and it is enough for us to share."

"I understand, I am only responsible for the investigation, and the arrest task is left to the FBI."
