Chapter 164: First strike to lure Anna to appear
Fred and Elena’s ticket to Florence has been booked for the morning of the sixth day, but today is only the fourth day, so we have to wait another day.
In order to prevent Elena from being in danger, Fred left Elena at the municipal compound, while he left on the pretext that he had to take care of the company’s business.
When he tried to find Albert, he remembered that Albert and his son had already left for the airport, so he had to ask Kevin, his brother-in-law, for help.
“Fred, what’s wrong? Why are you sighing for a good reason?” Fred asked Kevin to meet him at Wisky Bar, tomorrow is the fifth day of the month, if possible, he hopes to catch Anna before leaving, but this matter, he alone is difficult to do, in addition, he can not let Elena involved in the risk, so have to find help.
“Anna broke out of prison, I’m a little worried, I want to get her in as soon as possible.” Fred got right to the point.
“Didn’t you hire a bodyguard? With a bodyguard around, as long as Elena doesn’t go out, she should be able to be fine.” Kevin is aware of this, but these days, their home is safe, the New Year’s Eve, their family murder, Dad and Mom went back to B City, planning to let the house dry for a few days, and then it is best to buy out and re-buy. Otherwise, they also had to find someone to do a puja or something, so The Costa family was the only one Kevin was around, and he wasn’t worried at all.
“That’s true, but she’s out there, always uneasy, you do me a favor, find someone about the same height as Elena, preferably a little like, and see if you can lure Anna out.” Fred said.
This is his plan to lure the snake out of the hole, but he would not dare to risk his wife, therefore, it is better to find a similar size to play, of course, if the look alike, it would be best.
“You want to use her to lure Anna out?” Kevin was slightly stunned, this method is good, but in case it does not lure the snake, it is very dangerous.
“Yes, since she went to the hospital, she will definitely go there again, as long as we keep watch at the hospital, we will be able to catch her.” Fred had a plan in mind and had the woman pretending to be Elena guard the hospital and wait for Anna to take the bait.
“Are you sure she’ll go back to the hospital?” Fred, it’s a good plan, but we have to make sure we don’t make a mistake.” Kevin cautioned.
“I’m sure, why don’t we go to the hospital first and check the security footage, if it’s Anna, we’ll lay out my plan.” Fred suggested, the two said, and actually went to the hospital overnight.
“Wait, you think people will just show you the security footage, I’ll call up my classmate.” Kevin a thieving smile, then called the police station old classmate.
When Fred and Kevin arrived at the hospital, his classmate had already arrived.
Several people came to the monitoring room, asked to transfer last night’s monitoring records, everything went smoothly, just look at the seemingly white look, the head nurse pointed to the person, not only wearing a tight hat, but also wore a scarf, mask, can be said to be airtight, not to mention look at the face, even the hair can not be seen.
“Absolutely she can’t be wrong, if not Anna, no one would have wrapped themselves so tightly, and she kept her head down, as if afraid to be recognized.” Fred, however, flatly concluded that this person is Anna.
“Stop, back up a little.” Suddenly Kevin’s fellow police officer called out.
“What’s wrong, can you tell?” Kevin looked suspiciously at the picture backwards.
“You see, her hand has been placed on the bag is the city, you then look at the shape shown by this bag, that time ……”
“She seems to take something, and – from the shape of the bag, there may be a murder weapon inside?” Kevin’s classmate, pointing to the shape reflected on the bag than said.
“Fred, did you and Elena just go in?” Kevin nodded his head and said thoughtfully.
“Look at the surveillance in the lobby, Elena and I entered by the elevator on the left, this woman, she entered from the elevator on the right …… If I remember correctly, at that time, I seem to be talking to Elena?” Fred pointed to the stopped screen, the picture was stopping at them entering the elevator and the woman, looking at them sideways for a while, and from that moment on, the woman’s hand went into her bag.
It looks like she’s targeting you guys, and if it’s really Anna, then you’re really in danger.
The picture is fixed at several points, one at the elevator entrance and one outside the main door, respectively, of Anna reaching into the bag and taking her hand out of the bag.
“Wait a minute, I’ll make a phone call and ask.” Kevin’s classmate, said he took out his cell phone to pull the phone, and did not know who he was calling.
It was not until he asked on the phone if there were any guns missing from the guardhouse side that Fred and Kevin dawned on them, and at the same time couldn’t help but feel the coldness behind them, did Anna have a gun in her bag?
“Old classmates, you do not scare us, are you sure, Anna has a gun in her hand?” Kevin’s forehead has seen cold sweat, if that woman has a gun, will be a big trouble.
A gun is not like a fruit knife or something that can be shot from a distance, so you can imagine the danger is extraordinary.
“I think I’d better take Elena and leave early.” Fred is also scared out of a cold sweat, if Anna has a gun, it is even more can not be in the country, he better take his wife to avoid early for the better.
Anyway, the arrest of people, there are police to do, his responsibility is only to protect the safety of his wife and children, this, he is considering whether to also bring the two small light bulbs at home, there is a gun is not a child’s play.
“I think we’d better meet Bess first, whether she has the murder weapon or not, it is certain that Bess has seen this woman, let’s first determine her identity.” Kevin’s classmate said.
“She may not talk, although she is Elena’s sister, but she does not like Elena, and even – I even think she and Anna maybe wolf.” Fred, however, disagreed.
“Not so much, Fred, don’t be so pessimistic, let’s meet Bess first.” Kevin patted Fred.
In the ward, Bess was propped up with two panda eyes, staring deathly at the TV. Since Anna’s visit the night before, she did not dare to sleep, as long as the eyes are closed, I can feel the black hole of the gun is pointed at her.
This will hear a knock on the door, the whole nerve is even more tense, vigilantly watching the door pushed open.
We didn’t miss Bess’s relieved look. It looked like the woman really had to be Anna, otherwise she wouldn’t have been so scared.
“Bess, I came to tell you that Anna broke out of prison, we guessed she might come to you if ……”
“No, I didn’t see her, I didn’t see anything ……” Without waiting for the officer to finish his sentence, Anna held her head and kept swinging it.
“You did not see the best, we will send someone outside to protect you if ……”
“Officer, I want to change the hospital, please, I don’t want to stay in this hospital again.” Bess suddenly tugged at the officer’s shirt in fear and anxiety.
“I’ve already talked to the doctor and will let you go home in a couple of days.” Fred said intentionally.
In fact, the original plan is to let Uncle Peter to pick up Bess back today, but because of Anna, he decided to postpone for the time being. If Anna was not caught, then bringing Bess home would be more dangerous instead.
“No, brother, I want to go home now, I don’t want to stay in the hospital, I’m afraid ……” Bess said in fear and anxiety, in fact, she received a warning, threatening phone call from Anna early this morning, not only that, she also questioned Bess on the phone for lying to her The company’s main reason for this is that it will never let the matter go.
“Did Anna come by?” The officer asked at this point.
Bess instinctively nodded her head and then shook it violently, “No, officer, didn’t you say she might come, I’m scared, please, let me leave the hospital.”
“She came to you didn’t she?”
“No, no, I don’t know anything, brother, please take me home, I don’t want to stay in the hospital anymore, I hate hospitals-” Bess said and cried.
“Does she have a gun?” The officer asked again.
Bess didn’t shake her head this time and didn’t say anything, just looked at her hands woodenly.
“Bess, if you do not honestly explain, then we may not be able to protect you, only if you say, we police can ensure your safety, you think about it, whether to cover up the murderer, or cooperate with the police?” The officer reasoned with Anna.
“That’s right, Bess, Anna is the murderer of your mother, if your mother knows that you are harboring Anna, do you want the nine springs to-”
“She has a gun, she will kill me, I dare not say-” Bess kept shaking her head as if Anna would be right in front of her.
“Bess, you tell us, is Anna here? And what did she say to you? If you tell us the truth, I’ll get you out of the hospital in the morning.” Fred knew that Bess must know, so he tempted.
“I want to go now.” Bess looked at Fred blearily, she didn’t want to stay in the hospital for a minute.
“The hospital is closed, so you can’t be discharged, but I promise I’ll do it for you first thing in the morning.” In order to coax Bess to say Anna’s situation, Fred again patiently said.
“She has a gun, she’ll kill me?” Bess cowered.
“And do you know where she is now?” The officer asked with a stony face.
“I gave her the keys to my house, it might,, be at my house, but you guys are transferring me now, I don’t want to stay in the hospital, she’ll come back.” Bess shouted in panic, afraid that the men had left her behind.
“I will inform my colleagues to guard here.” The officer said, immediately calling back to the station and requesting backup.
After the explanation, Fred volunteered, “I’ll go with you, I know where she is.”
If it was Bess’s place, Fred was quite aware of it, and he couldn’t wait to catch the woman, preferably with a quick sentencing to avoid a long night.
“You guys stay here, she has a gun, it’s not safe for you to go, I’ve already notified my colleagues for backup.” Kevin’s classmate, looking at Fred two people said.
“Let us go together, not to see that woman caught by you guys, the heart is not solid.” Kevin also said.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
