Chapter 8 Reality Undercurrent 11
St. George's City Center
The bustling city is full of people, and the lights of vehicles form a long river of silver, illuminating half of the sky.
In the city, there will never be a time of silence.
When night falls, it may be the time when people's hearts are most impatient.
The night gives everything a mystical color.
And many unknown things often happen in the dark.
The black, elongated Lincoln drove through the streets of downtown St. George's state, stopping at a red light at an intersection, and the luxury car contrasted with the regular sedans around it.
In the extended Lincoln, Theo sat in the back seat, shaking a champagne glass in his hand, he looked slightly sideways, looking through the car window at the lights on the street, but his eyes were like cold winter.
Deputy Ives saw that Theo had something in mind, but he was not in a hurry to interrupt Theo's thoughts, but sat quietly to the side, waiting for orders.
Suddenly, Theo spoke.
"Avis, has the person who was sent to Eric Jackson's house last time dealt with it?"
"Rest assured, Mr. Theo, I have disposed of him and disposed of his body as you have commanded. The killer was originally a smuggler, and there was no information on the population system, so it was easy to deal with. ”
"Hmph, this is also thanks to the fact that Lola [Human Smuggling Team] has found a lot of smuggling and smuggling for the [Bloody Eye] organization in the past few years, so that we can avoid the eyes of the police and do some gray area things." Theo said, taking a sip of champagne, he remembered Madame Laura's face that had been injected with too much hyaluronic acid due to aging, and his eyes couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile.
"That killer deserved to be killed, who let him do things badly, sent him to kill Eric Jackson, such a simple thing, he complicated it, and left a mess-like crime scene." Avis shook his head, "It's good that the officers at the state police department are all rice buckets, and even MI13 didn't find us." ”
"Avis, do you really think that Arnold of MI13 didn't spot us?" Theo withdrew his gaze and glanced at Avis.
"What do you mean...... He already guessed that it was us who did it? ”
"Not to guess, but to know." Theo said lightly, "But even so, he chose to hand over the case to the state police department, which shows that even MI13 has not found substantial evidence." Or...... He thinks there is more than one deal with me, and maybe there will be a time to work together in the future. ”
Theo bowed slightly, looking at the lights outside the window.
Now, Ives didn't understand.
"Cooperation? But according to our intelligence, hasn't Arnold, the head of the MI13 Special Operations Group, always been against [Bloody Eye]? In the past few years, all he has been trying to do is to dig out the [Bloody Eye] organization......"
"He wanted to do that, but the [Bloody Eye] organization had grown too big to be solved in a day or two. In contrast, if you choose to cooperate with me, you will be able to find out the inner ghost of MI13 - that is, the black police officer who colluded with Victor to send me to prison. Compared to getting rid of the [Bloody Eye] organization, it is easier and more reasonable to find out the black police first and purify MI13, after all, an inner ghost is ambushed in MI13, just like a time bomb by his side, Arnold can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and he will never let such a thing go. ”
"I see, Mr. Theo, what are we going to do next?"
Theo smiled faintly: "Since Arnold has thrown an olive branch to us, we might as well accept it calmly." After all, I have just taken back the business of the [Arms Trafficking Group], and my position in the organization is not stable, and if I can solve Victor with the help of MI13, it will not be a good solution for a wound. ”
Avis nodded, although he was young, he also learned from Theo little by little how to deal with things viciously and ruthlessly.
This is a skill that must be learned to survive in the [Bloody Eye] organization.
In that dark organization, if it is not dark enough, it will be devoured by even darker people.
There, it's a real-life version of the [Minghe System].
"Avis, how is the 'cleanup' of the house at 92 Lexington Avenue done?"
"Mr. Theo, please rest assured, we have taken back the [Hunter] contract that Eric Jackson once signed with our [Bloody Eye], and according to your orders, the hunter helmet provided by [Cole Company] to Eric Jackson was left at Eric's house, after Xiao Qihan moved away, I also sent someone to quietly go back to see that the helmet has been taken away, if nothing else, that helmet should now be placed on Arnold's desk at MI13."
When Theo heard this, he smiled slightly: "Arnold, in order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, although he is white, he is willing to cooperate with black, saying that he is a righteous person, but not only that, such a person is the most difficult to deal with." ”
Avis nodded, "Yes." Mr. Theo, please rest assured, we will also keep an eye on MI13, but, as Mr. Theo expected, they should not do anything to us for the time being, after all, the goal of our two sides is the same, we have to deal with Victor, they want to investigate the black police who colluded with Victor, in a sense, we are still allies. ”
The word "ally" is so precious, but it can't stand scrutiny.
Perhaps a small external intervention could lead to the breakdown of this fragile relationship with the Liberation Alliance.
But now in its form, like a boat sailing to the center of the lake, it is impossible to turn around.
The red light at the intersection turned green, and the extended Lincoln started up and headed to the other side of the city.
Theo pondered for a long time and looked at Avis: "What's going on on with Scott?" ”
"After Eric Jackson was killed by us first, Scott didn't know that we did it, and he was sent according to the usual way; The people of the [Biotechnology Group] went to retrieve the helmet, but they failed to find the smart helmet that [Cole Company] gave to Eric Jackson, but they were bumped into by Eric Jackson's daughter and almost caught by the police. However, the police of the state police department are also rice buckets, and in the end they let the stupid thief escape, and the state police department now attaches great importance to this case, I am afraid that it is a group of people who kill people and break into the empty door. ”
Avis laughed, and Theo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
The burglary and the murder were not committed by the same group.
The Arms Trafficking Unit is a homicide.
What the [Biotechnology Group] does is to break through the empty door.
Although they are two different groups of people, they are essentially the work of people from the [Bloody Eye] organization.
The degree of cooperation between them in the same matter is already so low, it can be seen that the five major departments of the [Bloody Eye] organization are almost separate.
Everyone is thinking about it.
It is no longer the Bloody Eye organization that was united under the former papal leadership.
Theo thought silently and took a sip of champagne.
That's not a bad thing, though.
When they were carrying a murder case on their backs, they didn't expect a backstabbing man to come out so soon.
It is estimated that Scott never dreamed that Eric was killed by his Theo; And the helmet was also given to MI13 by Theo.
Although they are also members of the Bloody Eye organization, they have no substantial stakes, so Scott's death is not necessarily a bad thing for him.
After all, if something happens and Scott is pulled down from the position of the top person in charge of the [Biotechnology Group], then he can easily support one of his people to sit in that position, and then he won't be able to deal with Victor.
At the beginning, Theo only wanted to fulfill his promise to Arnold and give him the identity of a [hunter], so he killed Eric Jackson, left Eric Jackson's smart helmet to Arnold, and destroyed the documents related to the [Bloody Eye] organization in the house at 92 Lexington Avenue, but he didn't expect to be able to take the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and splash dirty water on Scott. Get rid of Scott, the guy who doesn't help either.
Thinking so, Theo took a sip of champagne and for the first time felt that the champagne tasted very mellow.
He likes to play this kind of role that hides behind the scenes and controls the overall situation, rather than being a passive character like being counted in prison by Victor and losing his life several times.
Now, he's going to fight a turnaround.
Although he couldn't kill Victor for a while, he would definitely be able to strengthen his wings after gaining a firm foothold and cultivating his power.
Thinking of this, Theo looked at Avis.
"Avis, let you Chavinson's henchmen, how are you doing?"
"Three or four hundred people have been found one after another, some are at the bottom, some are in the Middle East, and some are in the [Bloody Eye] headquarters, after all, Vincent has been in the organization for more than ten years, and there is still a bit of residual party power."
"Recently, some rumors in the organization have spread more and more widely, and the wind has also blown into my ears, and they all say that Vincent has been killed by me, and the next step is to get rid of those old subordinates of Vincent."
Avis nodded with a solemn expression: "Such rumors must not have been spread for no reason, it must have been done by Victor in secret, just to make Vincent's subordinates panic." ”
Theo smiled coldly: "Do you know what some hyenas on the grassland who are driven by hunger will do? ”
Avis frowned and thought for a moment, "Attacking a lone lion? ”
"That's right, any creature that is forced to do something beyond its reason, even if it is a prey larger than itself, as long as it attacks in a group, even if it is a lion, it may be eaten by hyenas."
“…… What does Mr. Theo mean that those people are afraid that you will settle old accounts and will attack you first? ”
Lengthen Lincoln to drive through the city's main thoroughfare and turn on Fifth Avenue.
When passing by the opera house, a car suddenly drove out from the front, blocking in front of the extended Lincoln, and then, two sedans blocked the way of the extended Lincoln, a van stopped next to the extended Lincoln, and from these four cars came down seven or eight people with black hoods and Uzi submachine guns, and they began to shoot wildly at the extended Lincoln, the bullet shattered the window of the extended Lincoln, and the surrounding passers-by fled in panic, and the shooting lasted for nearly a minute before stopping, One of the gunmen was armed with an infrared imaging device, and after making sure that the body temperature of the three people in the car was gradually cooling, he waved his hand, re-got into the car with his men, and left the scene of the shootout.
The luxury stretched Lincoln was beaten into a sieve, the windows were shattered, the body was lying on the seat of the extended Lincoln, and even the champagne in the car was all broken, and the smell of champagne mixed with the smell of blood, fermented, and smelled particularly weird.
