Chapter 494

Luke made a note in his book and continued to inquire, “What’s the second part of the plan?”

“To carry out the kidnapping.

Kreki used his position to find out the dossier of the kidnapping case ten years ago.

The means we used to kidnap Isha Redman was a complete imitation of the kidnapping case from ten years ago, the purpose of which was to get the police to connect the two cases.

If I was caught by the police, the police would mistake me for Sophia through DNA identification.

Craigie also made a point of letting the FBI find out for themselves, rather than me volunteering to talk.

Also, a month before the kidnapping was officially carried out, I told Hugo to change his name so that he would address me as Sophia.

To prevent him from talking out of turn.”

This matched Luke’s speculation, “The murder of Hugo Choudhury was also in your plans?”

“Yes. Cracky knew that Hugo was an outlaw with other cases on his back, and that if he encountered an arrest, he was bound to fight back, and the odds were that he would be killed by the police.”

“Was it also your idea to kill the kidnapper, Tom, and the other kidnapper of Mexican descent?”

“No, that was entirely Hugo’s own idea.

Cracky planned it well, but we couldn’t completely control Hugo, Hugo didn’t know what we were really planning, all he wanted was the six million dollars.

He has taken that six million dollars as his own and will not share it with anyone.”

“Your arrest by the police was part of your plan?”

“That was part three of Kreki’s plan.” Eirene Reagan sighed, her face a little complicated, and

“With Kreki’s speculation, after I was captured by the FBI, they were able to find out who I was. I’m not just the kidnapper, I’m the victim of a kidnapping ten years ago.

Both the FBI, the prosecutor, and the judge will look at me differently, and as long as I act well enough to gain the sympathy of the jury, the odds are that I’ll be acquitted.

At that time, I can become Sophia, accept the inheritance left by her father, and become a really rich man.

No need to run away, no need to worry about being caught, can enjoy life under the sun.”

“This plan is indeed good, but it’s not easy to implement.” Luke felt that there should still be loopholes in it.

“Yes, that’s what I said.

Kreki instructed me to take care of Isha Redman and try to get Isha Redman to take a liking to me.

Isha Redman was a kidnapping victim and her attitude could influence the court’s attitude toward me.

As long as she treats me differently from the other kidnappers and has something nice to say about me, we’re halfway there.”

Luke thought again of Sophia’s stepmother and the nanny and asked, “And you guys didn’t think about the possibility that you’d be recognized by the hostage’s family?”

“Cracky thought about it, he said he’d figure it out, and now it seems obvious that he didn’t.”

Luke pressed, “How did he want to solve it?”

“In our original expectations, the kidnapping case was supposed to be investigated by the FBI. But who would have thought that the case would have been transferred to the Bureau of Detectives instead, and Cracky wouldn’t have been able to view the case file directly.

He doesn’t know the progress of the kidnapping investigation, and there’s no way for him to secretly influence the investigation.”

Speaking of transferring the case, Luke also had doubts in his mind, just like what Irene Reagan said, this kidnapping case was originally supposed to be investigated by the FBI, but because the kidnapping case of real estate tycoon’s son, Gary Sane Jr. was in the news, Isha Redman’s father questioned the FBI’s ability before requesting that the Bureau of Police Detectives take over the case’s investigation.

If the Gary Sane Jr. kidnapping hadn’t made the news, the case would still have been an FBI-led investigation, and then Craigie Hosking would have had easy access to the case.

So it would seem that there is no reason for Craigie Hoskin to go public with the news of Gary Sane Jr.’s kidnapping.

However, according to Anthony’s investigation, Craigie Hoskin did read the information file on Gary Sane Jr.’s kidnapping case.

Luke asked the doubt in his mind, “Was the news of Gary Sane Jr.’s kidnapping leaked to the media by Craigie Hoskin?”

Eirene Reagan shook her head, “No.”

“Then who?”

Eirene Reagan bit her right fingernail with her teeth, “It was me.”

“How did you know about it? Why?”

“We had originally decided to carry out a kidnapping in the near future as well, but we didn’t realize a kidnapping had popped up first.

Kreki was more cautious, and he was worried that this kidnapping case would affect our plans, so he used his privileges to view the information on that case.

Afterward, he told me about this kidnapping case, and I kept it in my mind at that time.

Later, after thinking about it for a long time, I called and told a reporter about it.”

Luke was a bit puzzled, “Why did you do that?”

“I felt that exposing the kidnapping would involve the FBI more and would be more conducive to carrying out our kidnapping.

In addition, if little Gary Sane is torn apart because of the exposure of the case, it can also give a warning to the family of Isha Redman, so that they won’t dare to call the police and honestly deliver the ransom.”

“Since you know about the kidnapping case of Gary Sane Jr. you should know that the letter V in blood was left on the yacht.”

“Yes.”

“It was also your idea for Hugo Choudhury to call himself Mr. V and demand ransom from the family?”

Eirene Reagan nodded, “Yes.

Because I considered that Isha Redman’s family would call the police.

When the police are investigating, they will associate Mr. v with the blood letter V. I think it will mislead them into thinking that the two kidnappings were committed by the same group of kidnappers, interfering with the direction of their investigation.” .

Luke frowned slightly, Elenae Reagan’s words were contradictory: “According to your and Kreki Hoskin’s previous plan, being captured by the FBI was also one of the parts of the plan, so that you could disguise yourself as Sofia, and inherit the inheritance after being cleared of any wrongdoing.

But these two operations of yours are interfering with the FBI’s investigation, isn’t that redundant?”

Eirene Reagan pinched her forehead with both hands, and after a long silence, she sighed, “Actually, I’ve always felt that Kreki’s plan was problematic and too risky.

I admit that I want to become a really rich man, and wish to live as lavishly as Issa Redman.

But I didn’t want to be caught by the police, I hated the police, I didn’t want to be put on trial, and I was worried about being recognized by my family.

I was so scared I couldn’t sleep.

As it is, you guys still recognized me, which proves that my fears were justified.

This plan simply won’t work.”

“Does Cracky Hosking know about either of these things?”

“No.

He was careful, and we haven’t been in contact since the kidnapping was carried out.”

“So what was your plan?”

“I think the kidnapping ten years ago was perfect, the kidnapper was a genius, he actually used a black marketeer to deflect the risk of delivering the ransom, the hostage’s family called the police, and still didn’t catch the kidnapper.

If they can, why can’t we.

Moreover, as long as I create more pressure on the family so that they don’t dare to call the police, the chances of the kidnapping being successful are very high.

Compared to being arrested by the police, I would prefer to get the six million dollars.

With this amount of money, I can go anywhere and live just as well.”

“Have you ever told Craigie Hosking of this idea of yours.”

“Yes, I told him a long time ago, but he didn’t think six million dollars was much.

And even if the kidnapping was successful, we’d be scared and hiding everywhere.

Only when I became Sophia could I really enjoy the life of the rich.

I know he has a point, but words can come from anyone, and it’s really me who has to do it all.

I’m afraid of the police. I know I can’t do it. I can’t be the real Sofia.

I still wanted to take the six million dollars and leave.

I’ve been trying very hard to convince him, but it’s no use, he’s a very opinionated man.

So I’ve decided to change in my own way, as long as the police don’t catch me, I’ll get the six million dollars ransom.

If the police caught me, they would follow Krejci’s plan.

I think this is the really perfect plan.” Eirene Reagan revealed a helpless look and shrugged, “But I didn’t expect that things would still be messed up.

I now regret it ……

Why is this world so unfair?

What would my life be like if I lived in a rich family like Sophia or Issa Redman?”

Now, Luke finally understood why there were so many tawdry maneuvers in this seemingly well-thought-out kidnapping case, and the root cause was that Irene Reagan and Craigie Hosking were in disagreement and did not have a unified mindset.

If according to Craigie Hosking’s plan, is ready to use the kidnapping case to get rid of Hugo Choudhury, so that Irene Reagan cleansed to become a real rich girl, so that the two people can enjoy their lives openly and honestly.

This plan of Craigie Hosking was risky but much more rewarding.

Irene Reagan, on the other hand, was worried about being identified by the police, so she preferred to succeed in the kidnapping case and leave with six million dollars, which was less risky.

However, she was unable to convince Craigie Hosking and decided to privately micromanage Craigie Hosking’s plan.

It was also these two micromanipulations that allowed Anthony to perceive that there might be a mole in the FBI, which Anthony then engineered to track down.

Also, it was her micromanipulation that caused the family of Issa Redman to stop trusting the FBI and turn the case over to the Detective Bureau.

This led to a complete disruption of Craigie Hosking’s subsequent plans.

After the case was transferred to the Robbery-Murder Division, Craigie Hoskin would not be able to use his position to learn about the case, and there would be no way to help Irene Reagan with her follow-up plans.

Luke wouldn’t have applied for an open casket if he hadn’t learned that the FBI had a mole who had access to the Information Resource Database.

It is possible that this plan would have worked.

Needless to say, Craigie Hosking’s plan was truly unexpected, but it ultimately failed because the two men had their own agenda.

Heist Murder Division.

Luke and Blacky returned to the First Squadron office.

Blacky pushed open the office door and greeted, “Hey guys, Irene Reagan confessed to the crime, guess who the Boss behind the scenes is?”

However, no one in the office paid any attention to him, all eyes were fixed on the TV set on the wall, and the lieutenant even gave him a mute gesture.

Luke’s eyes were also drawn to the television.

[Hello viewers, this is CBS TV news reporter, Faye Casse.

We’ve received an update that just recently a black Tesla sedan lost control of its car on a viaduct and crashed into a nearby stone pier, killing the driver of the car.

It is reported that the owner of the Tesla is an FBI, it is not yet clear if he was on a mission, let us express our deepest condolences to him.”

Tesla, the world’s highest selling electric car, has been involved in frequent automobile accidents.

I think Musk should reflect on this and whether highly intelligent cars are a help or a threat to people ……]

Jackson said, “The death was an FBI, Musk is in trouble. Trying to be the richest man in the world isn’t easy.”

The lieutenant bristled, “Why do I smell a conspiracy.”

Luke frowned as well and asked, “Did you broadcast this FBI name?”

Jenny said, “No, I’m guessing the news reporters either didn’t get it or were afraid to air it.”

“Come on, there are still ones they’re afraid to air?

I don’t think so.” The lieutenant grunted and looked over at Blackie, who was off to the side.

“Marcus, what did you just say?”

“We just interrogated Sophia, no, I should call her Irene Reagan. She gave up the man behind the kidnapping, the group leader of the FBI’s Information Resources Division, Cracky Hosking.”

Jackson said, “Whoa whoa, FBI again, looks like they haven’t had much luck lately ……”

Luke returned to his office and took out his cell phone and dialed Anthony’s cell phone number, “Hello, this is Luke.”

Anthony’s low voice rang out on his cell phone, “Man, I was trying to reach you. How’s the interrogation going?”

“The suspect posing as Sophia gave an account, her name is Irene Reagan.

She identified Craigie Hoskin as the FBI mole and the mastermind of the case.

They planned the kidnapping in order to disguise themselves as Sophia and inherit the legacy left by Sophia’s father.

Have you made an arrest of Kreki Hoskin yet?”

“I was about to tell you that the guy committed suicide?”

“Died how?”

“Crashed in his beloved little tram …….”

“The same unlucky guy that was on the news who crashed on the overpass.”

“That’s right, that’s him.

He was on vacation today, and when we went to his house, we found no one home, and then we got the news that he had crashed his car. It was sudden for me, too.”

“Can you confirm that it was a suicide?”

“Yes. We found the suicide note at his house, and he knew that it had come to light that he had planned the kidnapping and tampered with the FBI database information.

Those two felonies were enough to put him in prison for life.

He was more worried that his FBI identity was exposed and that he would end up in prison.

He felt there was no way back and decided to commit suicide.”

“Can we be sure the suicide note is real?”

“It’s certain, we got an expert to identify the handwriting.

In addition, he has admitted to the kidnapping, your side can convict him as usual.”

You got a handwriting expert to authenticate it so quickly? Luke expressed his skepticism, “Do you have time? Meet and talk.”

Anthony hesitated for a moment, “Not today, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to take care of.”

“I know.” Luke hung up his cell phone.

He sat in his office for a long time in silence ……

Craigie Hosking had committed suicide?

Luke wasn’t sure if it was true.

Even before meeting Anthony, he wasn’t sure if Anthony was lying.

Of course, Anthony might not be punking him even if he was lying.

It could also be a well-intentioned lie, and sometimes knowing more wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Luke guessed that there should be two scenarios for the death of Craigie Hosking.

The first scenario, Anthony was telling the truth, and Craigie Hoskin feared that his FBI status would be retaliated against when he got to prison, and chose to commit suicide in fear of the crime.

In the second scenario, Craigie Hoskin committed homicide.

The fact that the FBI actively hid the fact that he killed him suggests that they may have moved the case themselves.

As for the motive it is not difficult to guess, Craigie Hosking’s position is not high but it is very sensitive.

As the team leader of the FBI’s Information Information Data Department, he knew too much.

There was no way the FBI would let him take these secrets out of their control.

Either way, Luke didn’t feel the need to dig deeper.
