The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 1445: Fooling, then lying
The Bermuda Islands, also known as Somers Island, is the oldest overseas territory of the United Kingdom. It is known as one of the three major offshore tax havens along with the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands. It is also one of the five largest ship registration places in the world.

The mysterious rumors about the Bermuda Triangle are probably one of the earliest tourism hypes in the world, and often appear in various street literature along with the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot in the Himalayas.

Simmons' wife and children suddenly went to Bermuda, obviously not for vacation, but to paved the way for him, because there is no extradition agreement between the United States and Bermuda.

In a sense, Simmons, who was responsible for the rearguard action, can be considered a good man and a good father.

The only thing to blame is the previous decisive action. With the tacit approval of Director Reagan, all FBI field agents were mobilized to arrest people directly according to the list.

The FBI is responsible for arresting "HR" members within the NYPD, and the NYPD also cooperates with the FBI to arrest "HR" members hiding in other local departments.

In less than a day, the tentacles of "HR" extending to various municipal departments in New York and even the local courts and the district attorney's office were almost all cut off. It is no wonder that Simmons, the "slippery fish" who was deliberately let go, wanted to quit.

What he had said to Fusco before, that he could leave the country after completing this job, turned out to be true.

Jack didn't know how much bounty "Genmei" had offered herself at "HR", but judging from the fact that Simmons threw a $20 deposit to Fusco without blinking, the balance might be in the millions.

The old saying is indeed true, do your best and leave the rest to God. In other words, no matter how perfect the plan is, it still depends on luck and whether the opponent is cooperative enough.

Everyone sitting in the conference room looked at each other in amazement, all of them at a loss as to what to do.

After all, all possibilities had been taken into consideration, and even various lines of dialogue had been prepared, but no one expected that Simmons would not play by the rules. He had no intention of accepting the challenge at all and only wanted to make a quick buck and run away.

Fusco hesitated for a long time before he said uncertainly, "Simmons should pass this message to Alonzo, right?"

Although Jack wanted to nod, he was unsure when he thought of Simmons's nonchalant attitude towards the account book at the beginning of the phone call.

All I can say is that "Genmei" deserves the name of "crazy beauty". I don't know how much money she spent on hiring someone from "HR" to bait her. She is really not afraid of getting into trouble.

"I'll call Alonzo. He shouldn't suspect me." Taylor put his cell phone on the table.

"What are you going to say?" Jiejie held her hand and asked seriously.

Taylor smiled confidently, "Of course, tell him that I will get the account book soon, and I have learned from Leia that Landon Walker's name is on it.

I will hand over the evidence to the FBI as soon as Walker wins the election, it will be a sensational super news, and Ed Griffin, whom he supports, will win the mayoral seat in the subsequent special election. "

"It sounds like a good idea." Cassel supported his chin and pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the others.

“A conspirator like Alonzo would not let go of such important evidence as the ledger. Even if he is sure that his name is not in the ledger, the special election is still an uncertain risk for him.

And as long as he gets the account book, it means that he will be able to further control Walker in the future."

Jubal also voted in favor of Taylor's plan, and then the others nodded in agreement. "But this also means that the two of you will face Alonzo's final trump card. We still don't know how many more tricks he has up his sleeve."

Aubrey glanced at Jack. "That abandoned wine cellar is not like the warehouse area we carefully selected in advance. There are almost no decent buildings around it."

However, before Jack could express his opinion, Clay, who had been silent the whole time, spoke confidently, "I can ambush in there by myself, and find a place to hide some equipment. Together with Jack, the two of us can definitely hold out until reinforcements arrive."

Everyone present was absolutely convinced of Jack and Clay's fighting ability. Jubal spun the pencil in his hand several times, and finally pointed the eraser end at Danny.

"HR's strength is greatly reduced now, and without Simmons as an assistant, Alonzo has very limited manpower at his disposal.

Detective Reagan, please be on standby with the rest of the team at the nearest police station tomorrow night. After receiving Jack's warning, we will set out together to wipe out the remaining forces of 'HR'."

Jiejie let go of Taylor's hand, and the female reporter happily pressed the number with Quinn Alonzo's name in her address book, without any worry or fear that she would become bait.

"Tyler? Why are you calling me now? I told you before that although we tried to fix it, Griffin's approval rating is now ruined.

If I had any dirt on Walker, I wouldn't have kept it hidden until now. After tomorrow night, the mayor's seat will completely belong to that guy.

Griffin just smashed several cups in the study, but don't worry, I told him that your father is Judge Kelly, and he will at most do something small to annoy you."

As chief of staff for Griffin's campaign, Alonzo seemed to be deliberately trying to curry favor with Taylor.

"You're a true friend, Quinn, and like you said before, the mayor of New York City changes every four years, politicians come and go, but people like us stay here, doing the job we do best.

I believe that our friendship will last forever, and in return for this friendship, I also have a big secret to share with you. Listen to me, Griffin will definitely win this time."

Listen to Taylor telling Alonzo on the phone in a boastful tone how she bribed her judge father to interview Leah.

And how he used his eloquence as a reporter to extract crucial information and evidence from him.

"I will visit Leah again tomorrow and get the account book first. That stupid FBI guy has been bewitched by me.

By then, I can just use a little trick to delay the time, wait until the mayoral election results come out, and then hand over the evidence to the FBI. I can create a shocking news story and win the Pulitzer Prize again."

Alonzo on the other end of the phone seemed to be shocked by the news as well. It took him a long time to adjust his mood and he complimented in a voice without any strange emotions at all.

"Congratulations in advance, Taylor. I'll keep it a secret for you! Oh my God! I can't wait to see what happens to Walker. This is great news."
