North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 774 The gangster eats the gangster

Money makes things easier. When Benjamin came with the money, the broker officially accepted the task. Of course, there was no need to communicate with Benjamin about the details. After he arranged for investigators to determine Mrs. Hareton's location and her security forces, the next step was to mobilize the right people to do the job.

These are all professional matters. As a bodyguard, Benjamin doesn't need to know these things. However, the broker still told him his general plan so that he could go back and inform the boss. However, it will take some time to complete the whole thing, and he still needs to appease his boss.

After Benjamin left, the smile on the broker's face fell. He took the box to a secret area of ​​the club, temporarily deposited the box in the safe, and then went out to make arrangements.

This kind of major event that requires an assassination attack in downtown Los Angeles must be carefully planned. Once the commotion gets big, it will be easy for someone to catch it. If it causes heavy casualties, it is possible that the person will be charged with a terrorist attack. Therefore, it is best to use outsiders who have no relationship with the person. This depends on his connections.

Jimmy has been staying near the apartment building where Mrs. Hareton lives for two days. Except for the necessary time to go back to the hotel to rest, he basically stops at any place nearby to look around. The results are quite good.

Lawyer Sebastian comes here every day and stays for a long time. It is obvious that they have some plans. Mrs. Hareton cannot go out and is surrounded by bodyguards. If she wants to contact the outside world, apart from the phone and the Internet, the only one left is Sebastian, who knows her inside and out. So he is also the object of Jimmy's attention, but he will not follow him, there is no point.

But to others, Sebastian was an obvious target. Every time Sebastian came over, Jimmy could see someone following him. One group of people even arranged for someone to enter the apartment building, but the person who entered did not go upstairs, but just stayed in the lobby for a while.

From the perspective of behavioral logic, the target of these tails is definitely not Sebastian. They should be trying to confirm the specific location of Mrs. Hareton. This building is not particularly tall, with only about 20 floors, and there are not too many people inside. It’s just that the security is very good. It is difficult to get up there unless you are a resident or have notified in advance. So it is still unclear whether Mrs. Hareton has leaked the specific location, but there is no doubt that they have confirmed that she is in this apartment building.

Therefore, even though Jimmy is getting bored of waiting, he has not given up. The right thing to do is to arrange the action as soon as possible after determining the target. If nothing unexpected happens, it should only take one or two days.

Jimmy has been thinking about one thing these days, whether or not to apply for a surveillance team to replace himself. In fact, if a fight breaks out here and he is found monitoring nearby without taking any action, it would be easy for him to be caught. However, if he applies for a surveillance team, he would have to deal with the Los Angeles office, and it would be difficult for him to give a reason to monitor Mrs. Hareton, and it would be a mess by then.

His car has been in the vicinity for a few days. If someone were to track it down, it would be easy for their movements to be discovered. Thinking about this while monitoring, Jimmy looked around and saw a hotel a few dozen meters away. After thinking about it, he decided to spend some money to get peace of mind.

I arrived at the hotel room and took a look through the binoculars I bought from the outdoor store. It was okay. Although the angle was not ideal, at least I could observe the floor where Mrs. Hareton was. It was just that the mind's vision was not effective when the distance was far. Also, because it was close to the street, although I could not see the entrance under the apartment building, I could still see the streets next to it, so I could discover some situations in advance.

After monitoring in the room for a day, Jimmy finally got what he wanted to see. In the evening, a car he had seen before parked in the alley next to the apartment building. This car was driven by the people who were following Sebastian. He had seen it a few days ago, but at that time they just dropped off the people and left. This time it parked nearby, definitely to be used as eyes.

The window of Jimmy's room had been curtained, leaving only a gap for him to observe through a telescope in the room. As long as the person opposite him did not observe him from the same angle, it would theoretically be difficult to detect someone behind the curtain.

Seeing that his target had arrived, Jimmy took out several pistols he had purchased before and observed them while disassembling them to clean and inspect them. He had not yet done calibration shooting on these guns, but the guns he got in Los Angeles were definitely much better than those in Mexico, especially since they looked relatively new and were not the damaged versions that had been used for a long time. In theory, there should be no problem.

The car remained parked there until the early morning. Jimmy stared at it while drinking Coke and finally saw what he wanted to see. A black SUV stopped next to the car. Soon a man got out of the car and got into the SUV. He stayed inside for a few minutes before getting out and driving away in his own car.

Jimmy looked at the time. It was almost 1 a.m., and if nothing unexpected happened, they should be able to take action soon.

Ten minutes later, a team of five people got out of the car. They quietly stuck to the wall, completely beyond Jimmy's field of vision, and it seemed that they were about to take action.

Jimmy immediately picked up the two pistols he had chosen and put them in his trouser pockets. He put the rest in his bag in advance, as they were all going to be thrown away. He left the room with the bag and walked down the stairs.

When Jimmy came to the street, the few people who had been there before were no longer on the street. Jimmy took a look at the apartment, and there were already two people lying on the ground in the freight passage behind the apartment, but it was not clear yet whether they were killed or knocked unconscious. It seemed that this should be their route. Jimmy used his mind's vision to search upwards floor by floor, and finally found a few people in the elevator. They did not go up to Mrs. Hareton's floor, but got out of the elevator two or three floors below, and then began to climb up from the fire escape stairs next to them.

This operation is very professional, Jimmy sighed as he walked slowly over, then stopped by the roadside, lit a cigarette, leaned against the wall next to him, and looked up at the situation above.

The floor where Mrs. Hareton was located was already the limit of Jimmy's mind's vision. The key point was that this was an apartment building. In addition to the normal wall partitions, there were also objects such as furniture from each household. For him, these would seriously hinder his recognition of the situation above. If he could rise into the air, he would be able to observe more. Now there was only very little information to observe.

However, he could still see fixed locations such as stairs and elevators, so there was basically no problem in observing these people's early actions.

Several people gathered in the stairwell. After waiting for a while, they left the stairwell. Then Jimmy couldn't see clearly. The most annoying situation occurred. Jimmy knew that a gunfight must have broken out upstairs, because before, the lights in many rooms upstairs were on, but just now, they suddenly went out in several rooms. It was obvious that someone turned off the lights, but what was the probability of turning off the lights at the same time?
The only explanation is that after the shooting upstairs, the people downstairs were frightened, and for safety reasons they turned off the lights in their rooms and hid.

In addition, this is a high-rise apartment, not the kind of one- or two-story house built with wood on flat ground. This kind of high-rise apartment uses reinforced concrete frames. Of course, some of the decorated walls are made of wood, but there are already considerable areas to ensure that bullets will not penetrate, and safety is guaranteed.

Jimmy certainly couldn't go up, but he was not completely idle. He went around to the alley. The SUV was still parked there. There was only one driver in the car, who was looking up from the window.

Jimmy quietly walked to the back of the car, bent over to the driver's seat, pointed the gun at the driver's head, and whispered, "Don't move, this is a robbery, give me your wallet."

He was wearing a hoodie, gloves, and a black mask on his face. Except for not wearing sunglasses, he was basically well protected. The driver was also single. "Don't shoot!" He said as he raised his hands and placed them on the steering wheel. Then he reached into his pocket with his right hand and gently took out a wallet. "I can give you the money, just leave the wallet to me."

Jimmy took the wallet with his left hand and hit him on the back of the head with the butt of the gun with his right hand. The driver fell headfirst onto the steering wheel. The horn honked. Jimmy felt his pulse and pushed him to the side. The horn stopped immediately, so it would not attract many people's attention.

He knew how to use restraint in his attack. The driver didn't die, but was knocked unconscious. Jimmy had used this trick several times before and it certainly worked very well. However, he couldn't use too much force, as it might cause problems.

Turning his head to look upstairs and making sure that no one was coming down, Jimmy left the alley, went to the hotel parking lot, drove his car out, and parked nearby to wait for the gunfight upstairs to end.

Mrs. Harriton only had five or six bodyguards, and she herself was not a fighter, so it would be difficult for her to deal with the five people who came here intentionally. However, Jimmy obviously underestimated the response speed of the LAPD. He had just parked the car for less than a minute when two police cars rushed over with flashing lights and sirens, but they stopped in front of the apartment building and did not rush in directly. Instead, they stood by the car doors and aimed their guns at the apartment building, and many people had already rushed out from inside.

The four policemen arranged for these people to go around from both sides so as not to block their sight, and even helped some people leave, but they just did not rush into the apartment building and always waited for support.

The battle above should have been over, but there was no trace of those people at all now, because there were many people in the fire escape and the elevator, and he couldn't lock onto their appearance.

Soon, three people ran out of the stairwell, but they did not go out the front door, but ran towards the back door. They should be Jimmy's target. He started the car and went around from the side. After a few seconds, he lost sight of the other party and arrived at the intersection where the other party was heading ahead. Soon, the SUV appeared in front of him.

It seems that they care about their teammates very much. Jimmy originally thought that the unconscious driver would be dragged out and thrown outside by them. This was one of the reasons for his previous actions, to leave a reliable source of information for the police present and the FBI who might come. But now they actually took the driver away.

The SUV was driving very fast, and Jimmy's old second-hand car had a hard time following behind, but he couldn't drive too fast or they would discover him.

Several police cars with flashing lights and sirens whizzed past, ignoring Jimmy and the SUV in front. They were probably all there to support the scene of the gunfight. It seemed like there was quite a big commotion over there, but it was unclear whether these people had accidentally injured other residents.

As the SUV slowly drove towards the south city, Jimmy became a little worried, so he simply turned off the headlights and followed behind. The road lights here were not bright, and if there were headlights behind, the car in front would obviously notice someone was following him. It would be better to follow in the dark. Finally, the car in front stopped in front of a suspected abandoned building. Several people got out of the car, looked around, and helped one person into the building.

Jimmy parked the car in the back, took out the two pistols he had prepared from his pockets for protection, climbed from the side to the bottom of the building, then climbed into the small room through a broken window, and then tiptoed towards the stairs.

The few people who came in just now have gone up to the third floor. There are three people on the third floor, one of them is sitting, and the other two are standing nearby, but they did not turn on the lights. At least when Jimmy came over, there was no light upstairs. There was only a safety warning light on the roof to remind the flight unit of the height of the building.

The previous conversation was not heard clearly, but when Jimmy climbed to the second floor, the conversation above became louder: "We lost two brothers! There is something wrong with your intelligence!"

Another person said, "No, our intelligence is accurate. She is indeed in that building, even the floor is accurate."

The person who spoke before said, "But she is not in that room. It is a trap."

"But you still succeeded in completing the mission, didn't you? This is a mission, I only need a result, you complete the mission, I give you money, it's that simple."

"Carl, calm down." A person nearby stopped his companion who was about to rush up to argue with the other party, and the situation seemed to calm down.

"It seems that there are still smart people among you. OK, you have completed the task, so this is your reward. Happy cooperation." The person who was on the third floor took out a box from under the chair he was sitting on and threw it over. A man took the box, squatted on the ground, opened it and took a look, then nodded to the person behind him.

"Bang, bang..." The few people who thought the transaction was completed and they could leave never expected that the other party would turn against them so suddenly. The two people who were standing nearby raised their guns and aimed at the four people coming over and fired continuously. In a flash, all four people fell down.
