Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 608 - 299: Turmoil Rises Again

"A robbery case?"

"A bank robbery case?"

"Is it a county bank?"

"The stolen amount is... five hundred thousand?"

The four team leaders were in the office having a meeting. The fact that this matter reached the municipal bureau indicates that the situation is extremely serious.

Moreover, since it's armed assailants, the problem is even more troublesome.

Over the years, they have gained experience dealing with armed bandits, but they were curious about what made this case different.

If it's a bank robbery, the county's criminal police should be able to launch an investigation immediately and at least report some clues.

But why did this case escalate all the way to the municipal bureau?

Furthermore, what puzzled them even more was that although these robbers caused a huge commotion, the impact was somewhat underwhelming.

Because their chosen target was different from what one would expect. Ordinary banks have lower profit margins, and though the three bandits had acquired firearms, they did not aim for a higher target. Didn't they think that robbing a small bank wouldn't warrant legal action?

"So... what do they actually mean?"

Luo Fei sat to the side, unable to understand. This meeting among the team leaders was for preparing the upcoming operation, so they needed to figure out some of these issues.

"Look, here's a description of their weapons. According to a police officer's account, the three assailants carried assault rifles and handguns. Most crucially... they actually had grenades on site!"

"With such firepower, they could control a bank even in the city. Why did they commit the crime in the county? The commotion they caused is significant and disproportionate to their gains, which is baffling."

Luo Fei expressed exactly what the others were wondering.

Zhou Fan and Li Jun continued going through the files. Although they were reluctant to admit it, the three masked guys were utterly outrageous in their approach.

Even the elite among the four criminal police officers couldn't make sense of their tactics.

"Is it possible they boldly assumed that committing the crime in the county wouldn't get the city's attention?"

"Ridiculous! Since the establishment of the state, lawbreakers are severely punished as a matter of principle. These guys handle guns skillfully; I doubt they're ignorant in this regard."

"That makes sense. Could it be their first attempt at planning, just testing the waters?"

"It's possible, but statements from some hostages at the scene were very clear. These are definitely repeat offenders. From start to finish, it was smooth and very methodical."

"Though the wording isn't entirely appropriate, it's evident their preparations were unprecedentedly meticulous."

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

Luo Fei also put down the files. There were only three masks, and nothing else provided any hints; now this image of the rabid dogs left him somewhat conflicted and helpless.

However, one thing made him particularly wary of these criminals.

The fact that their capabilities were beyond his expectations.

Because not only did they rob the bank, but they also preemptively placed explosives during the heist, installing the bomb right under the alarm system!

Like creating a pressure-activated landmine.

Anyone daring to call for help or alert the outside world risked blowing up with the entire bank.

Their ruthless and decisive actions left him both troubled and exhilarated.

"Let's head to Toshui County; talking about it here is pointless. We need to conduct a field investigation to uncover exactly who is causing these disturbances."

"Alright, let's go and see."

The group immediately agreed; to solve this case, they needed to visit the crime scene. The outcome would depend on what they discovered on this trip.

As they prepared to leave the office, the door suddenly opened, and Zhao Donglai walked in from outside, placing a stack of documents in front of them.

The gaze from this police team captain became increasingly gloomy.

"Just now, they've struck again."

"Toshui County, Xinyang Merchants Bank."

"Still three people wearing dog masks, armed and robbing the bank, with the same method and speed as before. They're already gone."

The four were struck like a thunderbolt.

Is this a crime, or are they rushing to meet targets?

It's only been a while; the news hasn't even settled before they strike again. Such speed and efficiency are somewhat uncanny.

They were now too late to set out, so they took the files from Zhao Donglai and continued to study them.

If both cases have any similarities, it would certainly help solve the upcoming investigation...

After going through it, they found no common ground.

Because the timing of this heist was the same as the last, the stolen amount was similar, around fifty thousand, with four bags of cash taken, and no casualties.

The scale of Xinyang Merchants Bank is similar to Minfeng Bank, so their actions make some sense.

The only connection between the two cases is the same perpetrators!

Otherwise, the details are like a reset mission, with no real deviation.

Their swift and decisive approach allowed them to escape from everyone's sight. Not only did road surveillance ultimately fail to track them, but even the already-alerted police were at a loss.
