1453 Prologue to Chaos
The phone hung up in a hurry.
After playing twice, he sent out a text message.
Turn off your computer and grab your jacket.
When I came outside, the female assistant was biting into beef jerky and eating the gossip news on the computer with relish.
"It's okay, go back and rest early."
Ethan snatched the beef jerky from her hand, put it in her mouth and chewed, "Have fun on the weekend, by the way, buy some gifts for the kids." ”
Two Franklin sheets floated onto the table, and the young woman on the owl smiled with joy.
"You're a bribe."
The female assistant smiled and grabbed the two hundred yuan, while not forgetting to tease.
"When have you ever seen a boss bribe a subordinate." Ethan flung the jacket to his body and strode down the stairs.
The Dodge Challenger was halfway through when the phone finally rang.
"I'm sorry."
Cruz's voice resounded inside the car: "I was busy just now, I finally found this opportunity, let's say, what's the matter?" ”
"Isn't that what I should have asked you?"
Ethan held the steering wheel with one hand, stepped on the accelerator with his foot, and quickly overtook the car in front of him.
"Please, I'll contact you if there's any special situation." Cruz's voice was a little dissatisfied, and his voice was a few degrees higher: "You don't know how much trouble the events of the last few days caused HR. ”
"They were robbed of another batch last night, and I'm still busy."
The other side lowered his voice again, and the sound of the car door closing sounded: "The only valuable information is that someone has run to Banshee Town, I remember telling you." ”
That's a bit interesting.
The one in the words they said was extremely smooth, and this small detail can judge that the other party is in the mentality and does not regard himself as a member of HR.
"So."
Ethan smiled bitterly and asked with puzzlement: "The HR organization was robbed of a batch of goods, do you think this is not special?" ”
There is a hint of something.
The other party appeared on the death list, which should be inseparable from this.
"Uh~"
Cruz was stunned for a moment, and said quickly: "Please, this matter has nothing to do with Banshee Town, and it has nothing to do with the people behind Simmons, I can't tell you everything that happened to HR, right?" ”
That makes sense.
If you do that, the other party will not be annoyed by yourself.
"Well, you're right about that." Ethan tapped the steering wheel and continued to ask, "But you can tell me about the robbery now, I'm curious what happened." ”
After the other party's explanation, it quickly became clear what was going on.
Ethan slammed down the gas pedal and sped off toward New York.
Library.
It's different from the last sneaky time.
This time, Ethan swaggered in through the back door and glanced at the hidden camera in the corner, and he chuckled inwardly.
Came to the second floor and knocked on the wall.
Then Shi Shiran walked into this place with a hint of mystery.
"Mayor Morgan, welcome."
Harold limped forward and happily stretched out his hand: "I have to admit that compared to last time, I am full of joy now, thank you very much for coming to New York to help." ”
"It should."
Shaking hands with the other person, he looked to the side.
Reese, who was standing on the sidelines, also walked over, smiling and stretching out his arms.
Shaw didn't know where he went, and he wasn't in this library office, and after the three of them greeted each other, Ethan moved to the whiteboard and looked at the dense photos on it.
"Thirty-nine in all."
Harold limped over, his expression quite solemn: "It has been confirmed that six people above are HR members, so it can be boldly inferred that the law enforcement officers on this are all corrupt policemen." ”
"It's not certain that this is the entire HR organization, but it should be the majority."
"If it weren't for the fact that they were planning the crime together." Reese took Harold's words and continued: "It's that they are being targeted by some organization, and someone is going to besiege HR. ”
"Either way, New York City will quickly become chaotic."
"Thirty-eight."
Ethan added, picking up a pen from the whiteboard and drawing a circle in Cruz's photo: "This policewoman is my informant. ”
"Be careful when you meet her."
Before there is no evidence to show that the other party is in defiance, the tough policewoman is her own person, and the necessary personal safety guarantee must still be given to the other party, and she can't be wiped out by Reese's inexplicable shot.
This sentence made the other two look surprised.
They didn't expect that Ethan had already installed an informant in HR.
"Mayor Morgan."
Harold hurriedly asked, "Is there anything we don't know?" ”
"I don't know what clues you have so far." Ethan chuckled and complained, and the old otaku also lifted his glasses in embarrassment.
"That's right."
He recalled what Cruz had just said, and shared the message: "It has something to do with what happened a few days ago, the Aryan Brotherhood factory let me and Shaw burn it you all know. ”
"It's not just factories that burn down, but also a lot of pills."
"Those goods were intended to be delivered to the sole traders, but they were burned, and a batch of goods that HR hurriedly bought from elsewhere was also looted in the early hours of this morning."
"There are two possibilities."
Ethan held up a finger and reasoned his own: "Number one, the people who robbed the truck wanted to attack HR. ”
"Second."
He glanced at Harold and Reese, nodded and said, "The goods could not be delivered twice in a row, and the sole dealer who may have bought the pills thought that HR wanted to eat the black, so he launched a retaliatory action." ”
The words made the other two become excited.
At least things are progressing somewhat.
"I've asked a friend from the police department to help me investigate." Harold quickly took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed it. "Let him look for any anomalies that have occurred in New York within twenty-four hours." ”
"Your information can help us quickly shorten the scope of the search."
"Again, I'm so glad you're here."
The information he had just said was crucial, and Harold blushed with excitement.
"Coffee or beer?"
Reese spread his hands and seemed in a good mood.
"Beer, thank you."
Ethan sat down on the sofa on the side, and said with a puzzled face: "Please forgive me for being more direct, as far as I am concerned, the more these guys die, the better, you are saving people and saving addiction?" ”
Taking the beer, he shrugged his shoulders.
"Someone should be damned."
Reese took a sip of beer, shook his head and said, "Then there are people who don't deserve to die, and it is easy to be injured by mistake when the conflict expands, what about those innocent people?" ”
"Ugh."
Unexpectedly, Ethan picked up the beer bottle in a daze.
"Everyone."
As soon as he took two sips of beer, Harold put down his phone and limped towards the computer table: "Detective Fosco's department happened to be involved in a truck robbery, which happened in the early hours of last night, and he is now sending the surveillance video of the scene." ”
The two men sitting on the couch glanced at each other and bounced up almost at the same time. (End of chapter)
