Chapter 211 Things Are Complicated
Germany, Frankfurt, Koninklijke Bank Tower.
Black Forest mercenaries arrived with Arab buyers.
Lilith alerted Hannibal's team on the comms.
"The target has entered the building. Surveillance shows that there are security personnel at every entrance and exit."
"Received~"
"The target has reached the 33rd floor and the two parties are conducting a transaction."
"Received~"
"Strangehead (Babos' nickname), start moving."
"receive."
Across from the Connick Bank Building, a worker who was cleaning the glass exterior turned around and took out the MGL grenade launcher imitated by Stark Industries.
Aiming at the 33rd floor opposite, six grenades were fired in succession. The first two were tear gas grenades, and the next four were stun grenades.
In an instant, everyone in the room was knocked down.
After giving the order, Hannibal rappelled from the roof of the building to the 24th floor.
After the monster head broke the glass exterior wall on the 23rd floor, Hannibal entered the room.
After putting a hood and a small bag on the leader of the Arabs involved in the transaction, they pushed him directly out from the 33rd floor.
"Ah~~~~"
His small package opened amid the shouts of the Arab buyers.
It's a small parachute.
At this moment, a helicopter that had been hovering nearby rushed over and accurately hooked the parachute with its fixed landing gear.
Then he took the Arab buyer away...away...
Originally, both parties were ready to leave after completing the transaction.
Pike, the captain of the Black Forest mercenary team, has handcuffed the box containing the US dollar engravings to his own hands.
Hannibal pulled out his pistol, broke the handcuffs, picked up the box, and jumped out of the wall, descending quickly.
On the other side, Babos replaced the MGL with an Acheson AA12 automatic shotgun imitated by Stark Industries, equipped with a large-capacity drum magazine with 32 rounds of shotgun shells.
The Black Forest team on the opposite side barely stood up and tried to lean out to shoot Hannibal who was descending quickly, but Babos opened fire.
Facing a fully automatic shotgun, the Black Forest Squad had to look for cover all over the house.
After Babos finished playing a drum, he also descended quickly.
Pike, the captain of the Black Forest team, saw the US dollar engraving being stolen, so he wrapped the rope used by Hannibal with his suit and jumped down.
Seeing Hannibal and Babos getting into the car that Parker had brought to pick them up and preparing to leave, he drew his gun and shot without hesitation.
But it was too late. The car Hannibal and Babos were riding in was the bulletproof version of the Mercedes-Benz S63AMG provided by Luke...
Just as he was feeling frustrated, he was surrounded by German police.
Also arriving was a Ministry of Defense investigation team led by Sousa.
Pike, the captain of the Black Forest mercenary team, had no choice but to lay down his weapon and was arrested by Sousa.
Twenty minutes ago, Lilith had accurately calculated the time she would arrive at the scene based on Lieutenant Sosa's location.
Parker had been notified in advance using the cell phone he had left behind to go to the Connick Bank Building.
As soon as Hannibal's team evacuated, she rushed to the scene with her men and captured Pike, the captain of the Black Forest mercenary team who had just emptied his magazine.
Hannibal and his companions in the car could even see Sosa arresting Pike through the rearview mirror.
In the end, I couldn't help but sigh that Lilith's calculations were damn accurate, and Luke was damn lucky...
At this moment, Lilith's voice appeared in the communicator again.
"There is a positioning generator in the box containing the US dollar engravings. It sends a signal every hour. Please check it carefully."
Hannibal immediately opened the box and searched inside for a long time but couldn't find it. Finally, he had to find a bag and put the US dollar engraving into it.
The box was then thrown into a garbage truck.
Back at the command center, Luke had already picked up the Arab buyer and Captain Murdoch.
When the Arab buyer's hood was removed, everyone was shocked, except Luke and Hannibal.
This Arab buyer was none other than the late General Morrison.
Now all the truth has come to light.
General Morrison and the Black Forest Squad planned to seize the U.S. dollar engraving for themselves, and then find a place to print U.S. dollar bills crazily.
Luke saw through his golden eyes when he received the call from Murdoch and General Morrison who was wearing a hood, but he didn't say anything.
Hannibal recognized General Morrison when he captured him on the 33rd floor of the Connick Bank Building.
General Morrison also generously acknowledged the plan between him, the Black Forest mercenary team and Lynch.
And Hannibal's team is the victim and the scapegoat.
Parker was so angry that he drew his gun and wanted to kill General Morrison.
But he was stopped by Hannibal.
"If you kill him, there will be no one to prove our injustice."
Luke also stood up at this time.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to interrupt you, but what I want to say is that General Trautman has entrusted me to investigate the truth of the incident, and the purpose is to restore your innocence."
"So, General Morrison must stay alive."
Hearing General Trautman's name, General Morrison also sighed.
But he said nothing.
Luke walked up and asked General Morrison.
"Why did you work with Pike of the Black Forest and exclude Lynch?"
"When Lin Qi found you, you asked the people of Black Forest to steal the engravings. The three of you should have been in a cooperative relationship."
General Morrison was silent for a moment and then said:
"Lynch actually wants to keep it all for himself."
Hannibal also interrupted:
"That's why Lynch got me out of jail. His purpose was to find you and Pike from the Black Forest, and then..."
Luke gave the answer first.
"Then kill them and keep the engravings for yourself, right?"
General Morrison nodded, agreeing with Luke's guess.
Luke then went over the whole incident and asked General Morrison again.
General Morrison also cooperated with Luke's inquiries and told him everything he knew.
The interrogation ended and Luke looked at Lilith.
Lilith nodded to indicate that the entire process had been recorded.
Luke said to Hannibal and others:
"I want to talk to General Trautman. Only General Trautman can decide what the final outcome of Morrison will be. OK?"
Although the members of Hannibal's team were very angry about General Morrison's sentence, Luke helped them along the way.
It was reasonable to report to General Trautmann at the end.
Their final decision to clear their name still depends on General Troutman, and CIA's Lynch can't believe it.
So Luke came outside the temporary command center and called General Trautman who was far away in the United States.
"General, we have captured General Morrison who faked his death, and we have also recovered the US dollar engraving."
"Well done, Luke. I knew I had found the right guy."
"General, now is not the time to be happy. I need your orders on how General Morrison should handle this."
General Trautman was silent for a while on the other end of the phone and then said:
"Have you interrogated him?"
"Yes, he has been interrogated. He confessed everything. I have recorded the whole process."
General Trautman was silent again.
"Since he is dead, he should not appear again."
As soon as Luke heard what General Trautman meant, he knew that the matter involved was very complicated.
This may involve high-level gaming.
Think about Lynch's behavior again. It is impossible for the head of an overseas branch to have such great power to mobilize troops and intelligence personnel.
There must be someone big behind him...
Luke finally asked General Troutman.
"Can Hannibal and the others still clear their names?"
