Walking into the back of the musical instrument shop, the loud hip-hop music is blowing in your face.

Four blacks were sitting at a small round table playing cards, on which there were several thick stacks of bills.

Most of them are five or twenty yuan, and they are quite big.

On the wall next to it, a surveillance monitor is showing the outside of the house.

Ethan's radar kept on, and there were only a few people in the room, although they all had pistols on their belts, but no one else was there, which reassured him a lot.

"Boss."

The white T-shirt walked up to one of the old blacks with brown sunglasses: "This is my friend, he has something to talk to you about." ”

"Who are you?" The brown sunglasses bit the cigar and looked at Atwater, and then at his little brother:

"Also, what are you talking about?"

Atwater glared at his friend, and it was clear that the guy hadn't been introduced to anything at all.

"Yo, calm down." He pressed down with his hands and hurriedly said: "I also grew up in Harvey, everyone walks different paths, but they are all neighbors. ”

"I'm here this time to give you a way to make money."

"Really?" Brown sunglasses stretched out the hand holding the cigar and slapped it on the table hard, smashing a wad of cash and crackling: "Seeing these things, I'm rich, more rich than you think." ”

"Big man, why should I cooperate with you, give me a reason."

The cash on the table, to say the least, is more than 10,000.

Just playing cards, you can get so much money out, this brown sunglasses is right, he does have money.

"Why do you need a reason?" Atwater's reaction was quick: "In this world, is there anyone who thinks they are making too much money?" ”

"Hahaha." Brown sunglasses lit Atwater with a cigar:

"You're interesting, say, I'll listen."

"That's right." Atwater nodded casually back: "These two white boys are my friends. ”

"They have a strong pipeline in the school."

"In a month, two people combined, they can walk almost two hundred pounds of leaves."

As Atwater expected, the brown sunglasses were really interested, he took a few puffs of his cigar, and asked in a deep voice:

"What do you want?"

"I don't think you're here to do charity, are you?"

"Of course not." Atwater clasped his hands to his chest: "Let me say this, these two people, I can help you sell goods in the future." ”

"I want information about a construction site theft."

"You make money, I make meritorious service, and everyone has benefits."

"What kind of sliver are you?" The brown sunglasses smashed the cigar and turned to look at the white T-shirt, his face became gloomy.

"I just said that." Atwater hurriedly explained: "Everyone takes a different path, it doesn't matter, as long as they all have interests." ”

Things didn't go the way he expected, and he panicked.

The tone of speech also became messy.

"Get out."

Brown sunglasses waved impatiently: "I'm not a rat, I won't work with Sliver." ”

"Bang."

A silver police badge flew out from behind Atwater, spun and landed on the table.

After a few swings, he slowly stopped.

"Let me do it." Ethan patted Atwater on the shoulder and walked forward.

His set, obviously, is no longer working.

Now I have no choice but to try it myself.

"Excuse me, thank you." Ethan walked over to the side of his tan sunglasses and stopped next to a cap.

The cap turned a deaf ear and looked at the playing cards in his hand.

"What I just said was very polite." Ethan said patiently, "I think you should be polite too." ”

"Please get out of the way, thank you."

Feeling a chill in his temples, the cap obediently got up and left.

Ethan pulled out a chair and sat down, placing the python revolver on the table: "We came here this time to learn about the theft at the construction site. ”

"So what?"

The brown sunglasses were not afraid, he looked at the police badge and pistol on the table, and asked.

"So, tell us everything you know." Ethan tapped his fingers on the handle of the gun and looked coldly at the leader of the 28th Gang.

"Why am I doing this?"

Brown sunglasses smiled: "I still really don't believe you dare to shoot, let's say, what is my benefit?" ”

"Nothing good." Ethan raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "There is no informant fee, there is no convenience for you to exercise, and I will not even give you a business card to intercede." ”

"I'm just telling you what's going on on the construction site."

He stretched out two fingers and bent down one of them: "There is a person who has died, and you may not care about this." ”

Bending another finger, Ethan said with a smile:

"This means, a hundred pounds of explosives."

"If you don't tell us what's going on, this 100 pounds of explosives will be on your head."

"Aren't you rich? Isn't it possible to make money? ”

"The territory of the 28th Gang will be focused on, and all your ways to make money, whether it is a barber shop for money laundering or a sales point on the street, will be swept away for you."

"Out of this door, I'll call the SWAT team over."

Ethan stretched out his hands and straightened the messy cash in the middle of the table into a stack.

"Huh~"

He grabbed the handful of money and made a flying motion: "When the time comes, just like this, all your little treasures will disappear." ”

A lot of cash, at least four or five thousand dollars.

As he spoke, the money was literally gone.

"Smack."

Ethan slapped his empty hand, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's like magic, magic." ”

It's not magical at all, and it's very lame.

Everyone present watched as he stuffed the cash into his pocket.

The movements are so skillful, the movements are so natural, and there is no embarrassment on the face.

The brown sunglasses' fingers trembled and exhaled softly.

They are sitting tigers, they can play how they want to play, as long as the matter is not serious, the police will not pay attention to them.

But now, a hundred pounds of explosives are involved.

He knew very well in his heart that what the other party said was not a lie, and for the sake of these explosives, the Chicago police would definitely be able to crucify the 28th Gang.

Now is not the time to ask for the good, but whether you can bear the bad.

"Kevin Lardner."

After not being silent for long, the brown sunglasses said expressionlessly: "Nicknamed the red guy, he knew that the construction site was under my protection, so he came to me and gave me some benefits." ”

"He just said he was going to steal something, and I don't know anything about explosives and human life."

The little brother next to him is his confidant.

So the brown sunglasses didn't avoid them, and they said it generously.

Hearing his words, Ethan scoffed.

This guy is also despicable enough.

collected the protection fee from the construction site, and also took other people's money to let the red guy do something to the construction site.

Eat at both ends, smart enough.

"Address?" Ethan knocked on the table and continued to ask.

"I'm sorry." The brown sunglasses put his hands in front of him, and said very shamefully: "I don't know about this, he is not my person." ”

"You should know that I'm telling the truth."

"Okay." Ethan nodded, the corners of his mouth twitching, "I'll trust you once." ”

"That's right." He patted the remaining cash on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "I have reason to suspect that your money is a sole proprietorship, but for the sake of your cooperation, I don't think I see it." ”

"I won't collect this money."

"What do you think, Mr. Sunglasses, I'm not a bad person."

Brown sunglasses looked at his bulging pockets and gritted his teeth: "Yes, yes, thank you very much." ”

"Then don't bother."

Ethan put away his badge and pistol and swaggered outside.

Russec and Atwater, despite their confusion, quickly followed, and they walked out of the instrument shop together.

Back in the car, Ethan lit a cigarette.

"Some people are like that." He looked at Atwater and slowly exhaled smoke: "These gang people, sometimes, have to cooperate. ”

"But sometimes, you have to treat them like dogs."

"If you dare to bare your teeth, you will knock it down with a stick."

"We have to be flexible in doing things, and we can't lose the initiative."

"Got it." Not only Atwater, but also Rusek nodded hurriedly.

The education they received in patrol police and police academies was relatively disciplined, or rather more upright.

Ethan's street operation just now can be described as a shocking education.

In fact, Hank is one of the veterans, but he won't teach two new Ding these things.

"That's right."

Ethan bit down on his cigarette and reached into his pocket to take the money out.

I didn't count it, and it was divided into three according to the thickness.

"One person takes a bunch of money and spends all day drinking for those bastards, and it is better to give it to you to pay the rent." Ethan sighed and said something they didn't understand: "This can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people." ”

Looking at the three wades of money on the teacup holder, Russec and Atwater looked at each other.

Shock, hesitation, and a little moved.

I thought that Ethan would take it back to the police station to hand it over, but I didn't expect it to be directly divided here, and the impact of his move was even greater than just now.

"How?"

Ethan glanced at the two of them and said with a chuckle, "Do you think I'm a black policeman?" ”

"It's not."

Atwater shook his head quickly, and Russec followed.

"I didn't do anything for him." Ethan put it on their heads, one by one: "Didn't threaten him to do anything." ”

"He won't have any opinion on this either."

"It's clean and there is no end to it, this kind of good thing is rare, if you don't want it, I'll take it all."

After speaking, he reached out and grabbed the money.

"Shhh

Two hands, one black and one white, quickly grabbed the two wades of money.

With more than a thousand dollars in his hand, the two guys couldn't close their mouths excitedly, especially Atwater, whose big white teeth were showing.

"Remembered."

Ethan shook off the wad of money in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"You can't do this kind of thing, if you don't get it right, you'll really become a black policeman."

"Understood?"

The two of them nodded quickly and slipped the money into their pockets in unison.

Patting the pounding heart, Russec and Atwater laughed and bumped fists, and the atmosphere in the car became happy.

Information about the Reds has been sent to Hank.

Back in the Chase room, the few people who stayed in the office had already found out the relevant information.

"You're back just in time."

Hank held two photos in his hand and pointed to Erin next to him: "She also just came back, now I will talk about the situation." ”

"Reds."

He pasted a headshot in prison uniform on a whiteboard: "Wanted in New York, Indiana, and Illinois." ”

"Alleged murder, armed robbery, and illegal dealing."

"Illegal trading?" Ethan sat down at Hostend's table and asked curiously, "Selling alone?" ”

"Forced sale of silver."

Hank patted the picture and said in a deep voice, "He also escaped a forcible accusation once. ”

"And this man."

He pasted the remaining photo on the whiteboard: "Charlie Prese, according to reliable information, Charlie is a member of the Red Guys' team. ”

Seeing the person in the photo, Russec and Horstead exchanged glances.

He took another map from Erin, unfolded it to the crowd, and pasted it: "Charlie will use the explosives stolen from the construction site to rob this jewelry store in North Lawndale." ”

Hank picked up the red marker and drew a circle on a building:

"The time for them to act is at night."

"Rest everyone, let's go take them down in the evening."

As soon as everyone wanted to disperse, Hank slapped his palms again: "By the way, there is one more thing, maybe you already know." ”

"Jean needs to quit BFI because of a family change."

"It's a pity, but it's true."

"I hope you don't get affected by this incident and focus on your work."

The people in the intelligence room nodded silently.

Garage, technical room.

Jean was here alone for hours, sometimes in a daze, sometimes busy.

No matter how much he delayed, time would not stop flowing.

All kinds of figures, game consoles are filled with a large cardboard box, and all the data that should be handed over are stored in different categories on the computer.

Even the table was wiped clean.

He looked around, then picked up a ballpoint pen that had fallen on the ground and carefully placed it in the pen holder.

Raised his head and looked upstairs for a moment.

He picked up the cardboard box, walked out of the technical room, and closed the glass door.

Without going upstairs to say goodbye, he felt sorry for what he had done, and slowly walked to the side of the roller shutter.

Pushing open the small door, a cold wind blew.

He shuddered, walked briskly to the place where he had stopped, and as soon as he turned the corner, his steps stopped abruptly, and his nose was sore.

Ethan, Erin, Rusek, and so on, a whole bunch of people were standing right next to his car.

"I won, give the money quickly, I knew he would sneak away alone."

Ethan stretched out his hand and said happily: "I am willing to gamble and lose, five yuan per person, and no one can run away." ”

"Damn it, Jean."

Frustrated, Erin pulled out five dollars and slapped it on Ethan's palm.

"That is, don't we deserve a goodbye?" Rusek also reluctantly pulled out a piece of cash.

"Come on."

Olinsky took out five dollars, opened his arms, and hugged Jean: "Be strong, nothing is unpassable." ”

"Thanks, I know."

The cardboard box in Jean's hand fell to the ground, and he nodded excitedly.

Horstead, Atwater, both of them handed over their bets, and they all walked over.

He smiled at Jean and hugged him hard.

"You guys."

Ethan smiled and shook his head when he saw them like this.

After putting the money away, he also walked over quickly, hugged everyone, and the snowflakes fell little by little.
