The Last Killer

Back at the rented apartment, Fang Zhen put a bandage on his head while watching with great interest how Sha Qing would deal with a series of interrogation like a prisoner in Rio.

"The day before yesterday, I received a summons order issued by the Phalanx."

"Phone? Email? Why don't I know?"

"The internal code of 'Arctic Fox' is used, which can be seen all over the world." Sha Qing stretched out a finger and shook Leo, "Don't ask the method, I won't tell."

"Okay, so you pretended to be a pick-up girl and went to that nightclub, which was your contact point."

"One. And it will be deprecated after this time."

"How many 'Arctic Fox' members went?"

"Most of the survivors."

Leo turned his scrutiny to the big black man: "You said the convener was a phalanx, but why did he appear in front of me bloody?"

"I also wanted to ask him why he wasn't there, but the one who showed up in the end was... the captain."

Sha Qing tilted his head and looked at his former comrades-in-arms: "You don't seem surprised by this? I think you owe us an explanation, Phalanx."

Fang Zhen touched the bandaged wound, "It all started when the Interpol hung up my arrest warrant - I'm just a bastard informant sitting on the fence, I'll kill it if I kill it, why should I be so fussy!" He glared fiercely at the black-haired detective: "I know it's you who told me the secret, and the only one who knows the inside story is you, the perfidious government dog and dog!"

Leo sneered: "This has nothing to do with our deal. Do you want a law enforcement officer to turn a blind eye to the murder that happened right under your nose?"

Phalanx growled: "It doesn't matter shit! It's clearly a borrowed knife to kill someone! If something happens to me, you'll make a fucking deal!"

Leo said: "If you go to jail or are shot dead, I will go to your prison or tombstone and tell you everything I have investigated. Rest assured, I am a man of faith."

Fang Zhen had a mouthful of old blood in his throat, and looked at Sha Qing angrily, and the latter shrugged at him, with a helpless expression of "he has this style, you'd better know more about it before making a deal".

"Since you're still alive, let's put this matter aside and continue with the main topic." Leo urged.

Fangzhen took five or six deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart, and said bitterly: "Anyway, they were the ones chasing me, and I ran away. The last time the situation was critical, I was rescued by the captain. At that time, I really believed that he was the captain. Fortunately, he survived. Then he asked me to come forward and call all the team members, including the breakaways, and said that the 'Arctic Fox' would be reorganized."

"How did you find out that something was wrong?" Sha Qing asked.

Fang Zhen asked: "How did you find out? I have been with him day and night for nearly a month, and you have only been in contact with him for a few minutes."

"He is very well disguised. It can be said that he is almost exactly the same. But there is always one thing-he shouldn't take off his clothes. That's right, every scar on his body is in its original shape and where it should be. Other team members We also believe it, but he spent the last part of his life with me. Only I know that before the explosion, he was shot by iron in order to resist the falling gate and let me have a chance to escape. If he is the real captain, there should be a triangular scar on the shoulder blade." Sha Qing tried to hide his depression with a flat tone, but this time it was not so perfect.

Fang Zhen is very aware of his feelings for the captain and teacher and father, so he can understand that even if he didn't get into the game, he is still shaken and mixed.

"I smell the smell of a huge conspiracy." Leo said, "Someone will do everything possible and spare no expense to forge a resurrected 'Arctic Fox' captain, gather all the team members, and what do they want to do? These people are top-notch International mercenaries, their fighting power is as amazing as their destructive power."

Sha Qing got up and poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.He squeezed the glass between his fingers, and he calmed down completely, and said, "He needs to gather the power of the 'Arctic Fox' to do an extremely difficult and extremely important task. It won’t be too long, and compared with the time when the phalanx detects something is wrong, it will not exceed one month, otherwise there is a danger of being exposed. As of today, apart from me and the phalanx, a total of 12 players have been present. I don’t know if there are any more A latecomer, but based on my observation at the time, everyone else believed in this 'captain', except for Xue Yuan...but he later accepted it."

"Xue Yuan didn't notice either?" Fang Zhen was a little surprised, "I thought he was the one in the team whose acuity was comparable to yours."

"According to his personality, if he finds something is wrong, he will definitely leave alone, but he didn't leave. It can only be said that he chose the latter between three points of doubt and seven points of confidence." Sha Qing put the wine glass on the table and returned to On the edge of the sofa, "We can't count on Xue Yuan for the time being. The only ones who can solve this matter are me, you, and him." He pointed to the black-haired detective at the other end of the sofa.

"Him?" Phalanx cast a sideways glance at Leo, his anger still lingering on his face, "He can't wait for the 'Arctic Fox' to do something earth-shattering, so that we can all be thrown into prison in a logical way!"

Leo shook his head: "No, you are wrong. Thinking of how painful your so-called 'earth-shattering event' will cause to the people, I hope that the crisis can be eradicated before it happens. As for whether members of the 'Arctic Fox' should go to prison, the law It's up to you."

Sha Qing smiled and said, "No, no, you're wrong too, it's up to you. I bet they won't be able to enter the prison, and the prison won't be able to lock them up."

Leo stared at him bitterly: "Don't forget that you are an FBI consultant now, pay attention to your position!"

Da Qing spread his hands and replied without sincerity: "I'm sorry. Can we get back to business and talk about what you found out about the inside story of the demise of the 'Arctic Fox'? Things are inextricably linked..."

Leo said: "The Phalanx once said that someone combined employers, middlemen and targets to trap the 'Arctic Fox' in an ambush. Yes, that mission itself was a trap: from the brutal rebel-controlled southeast Sierra Leone In the southern region, rescued the high-level executives of multinational mining companies who were held hostage, and at the same time seized a batch of blue diamonds weighing more than 100 carats, FL (flawless) grade, and a total estimated value of 6 million pounds. The client is the board of directors of the mining company, and the middleman is The IX security company known as the "Blood Broker" has a close relationship with the local government forces. Everything seems reasonable. But in fact, the mining company, IX, and the anti-government armed forces are all in the same group. Blue The drill is just a bait, and the hostages are physical bombs. Through some internal connections, I went to talk to a senior executive of IX, and he personally admitted that this plan from the top of IX company was called "Polar Fox Hunting". The purpose is to attract and attack the extremely sharp and mysterious 'Arctic Fox' in the mercenary organization, and eliminate the leader of the organization, 'Captain'."

"Strike... clear the captain..." Sha Qing frowned in thought.

"I think this is only part of the truth about the incident that year, and there is a deeper inside story hidden in it, but I need more time and resources to continue the investigation." Leo said.

Fangzhen gritted his teeth: "Anyway, these three parties are our enemies, and none of them can escape! The leader of the anti-government armed forces has died; the mining company has been messed up by us, and has lost several diamond mining rights. Bankruptcy; then it's the turn of culprit IX!"

Leo was stunned: "Last year, this group of anti-government armed forces committed public outrage because they kidnapped UN peacekeeping soldiers. The leader Senke was arrested and went to the Special Court of the United Nations Serbia. He died strangely in prison before the verdict was pronounced. It was a stroke... so it was done by you secretly?"

Phalanx bared his teeth at him, revealing a bloody grin.

"Is the fake captain this time also related to Company IX?" Sha Qing said, "If that's the case, we need to split up into two groups: I will stay with the fake captain and see what he will do with the team; The phalanx did not respond to the assembly order this time, so there is no guarantee that the other party will not be suspicious, so they simply responded from the outside."

Leo waited for a while, and found that there was no more to say, so he raised his eyebrows pointingly at him: What about me?

Da Qing smiled: "Go back and continue with your shift, detective. Oh, don't forget to undo the restriction on my anklet."

"It's impossible." Leo refused straight away, "I will not let a prisoner wearing a locator escape from the monitoring range."

"Then expand the monitoring area to a diameter of one thousand, no, ten thousand kilometers?" Sha Qing said seriously.

"Why don't you say it's expanded to one light-year?" Leo said with a straight face, "I will apply to the bureau for a microcontroller to wear on my body, and then no matter what you do, you will never be one kilometer away from me."

The "Arctic Fox" with the head of the group soon held a second meeting. A total of 17 members including the captain participated, including Sha Qing and the other three breakaways who left because of the captain. Now also returned as the captain.

"We want to do something big to use as a fund for the restart of 'Arctic Fox'." The captain's announcement received enthusiastic responses from all the team members.As professional mercenaries, love for war is their aspiration, and profit-seeking is their nature. "Whoever pays will work for him" is the principle they all abide by.

Many members shared their mission resources, but they were all rejected one by one due to reasons such as too few people in demand and insufficient compensation. Finally, the captain provided a domestic mission.

"Gennady Zhukov, 57 years old, Russian-American." The captain nodded to the old man with gray hair, a very high nose bridge, and rimless glasses on the projection screen.The person in the photo looked like a learned and stubborn pedant, staring impatiently at the camera. "He is a professor at George Washington University. Two years ago, he cooperated with SRC Strategic Resources Corporation of the United States to research a new technology that can significantly improve the performance of memory chips. Recently, he has made a major breakthrough. Next Friday, he will carry a product based on this technology. The prototype product, from Washington DC to Ohio to participate in an international academic conference."

"So we have to protect this old man, in case he is killed before the meeting?" Aurora threw a dice up and down, and interjected with a playful smile.

"No, we need to kill him before the meeting," said the captain.

"Wait, I heard you right." Worf cried impatiently, "Who doesn't know that SRC has a military background! You mean, on Uncle Tom's territory, kill a scientist who cooperates with the US military ?This task is not difficult to complete, but the difficulty is that whether we succeed or not, we will become a thorn in the side of this huge power. We better think clearly about the weight of rewards and consequences."

The captain stretched out his palm and pressed it in the air, and the whispering voices around him stopped abruptly, "Be a little patient, guys, listen to me. In fact, this guy is not only a scientific research expert, but also a hidden technological spy. Using international academic conferences to leak this technology to the Russian side. So SRC hired us to kill him before that."

"Why doesn't the military do it themselves?" Wolf asked.

"Gennady is well-known in his research field, and they did not intend to disclose his true identity to avoid adverse effects. Even, SRC Company even sent a team of security personnel who did not know the truth to protect him. Afterwards, they blamed the Russian side, saying that the Russian side hired people to assassinate American scientists in order to manipulate international public opinion.”

Aurora hooked Worf's neck, smiled and pressed his head down: "Isn't this normal, we have done a lot of dirty work for the government, Sierra Leone, Iraq, the United States—it's all the same. "

"Every person is 25 US dollars, pay 10 as a deposit first, and pay the balance after the event is completed. How about it, do you want to do it?" the captain asked.

The team members expressed their opinions one after another: "Do it!" "Just do it for the money!" "25 a week, why not do it?"

The captain shifted his gaze to the silent Xueyuan and Shaqing.The former stood in the corner and focused on cleaning his love gun, which was a signal of acquiescence, while the latter sat lazily on the armchair and nodded with a half-smile.

Professor Gennady Zhukov announced that he will be on Thursday's flight.In fact, he took a special train to Ohio on Wednesday under the tight protection of a group of professional military-trained security personnel.

The wild mountains and forests passing by outside the window have sunk into darkness, and the lights in the No. 3 compartment are still bright as day. The beautiful stewardesses in uniform skirts push the dining car back and forth, and the rich aroma of various delicacies floats in the air.

"The oyster steak you want." A tall, heavily made-up female flight attendant respectfully placed the plate on the table in front of the old man.

The freshly fried steak was steaming, Gennady lowered his head and took a deep breath, heaved a sigh of relief, cut a piece and put it in his mouth.Dozens of security personnel in black combat uniforms stood by the dining tables at both ends of the carriage and at the front and rear.

In the aisle of No. 1 car, two male stewardesses wearing blue caps walked one after the other, with their footsteps very close.

Sha Qing stretched out his hand to press the brim of his hat, and complained in a low voice: "This matter has nothing to do with you, why do you have to follow the car!"

Leo replied behind him: "The distance between you and me is one kilometer. The train is currently traveling at 180 kilometers per hour. If I don't get on the train, can I fly a helicopter to follow? Besides, without the help of my friend in the railway administration, how can you do this?" Get into the car easily?"

Da Qing was speechless, and finally had to say: "Don't meddle. Don't forget that our target is not the spy professor or the fake captain, but the black hand hiding behind the scenes."

"While achieving my goal, I hope to avoid the casualties of innocent people." Leo said.

"Great justice!" Sha Qing smiled, "but when war comes, justice is the first victim." He walked to the end of the carriage, suddenly launched an attack, knocked down and knocked down two security personnel guarding the cab door, He looked up at the emergency brake valve near the top of the wall, then raised his wrist and waited silently while the stopwatch counted down rapidly.

Three kilometers ahead of the train, a military Humvee was parked on a low slope.Two big men in camouflage combat uniforms with oil paint on their faces jumped out of the car, and one of them was holding a Russian-made RPG-29 individual rocket launcher.

Worf put the bazooka on his shoulder and aimed it at the railway track not far away.The quick guest next to him looked down at his watch and counted down softly while the stopwatch was counting down quickly: "... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, launch!"

The armor-piercing shell flew out, with strong light and loud noise, directly blasting that section of railroad track out of a large pit with a radius of tens of meters, sputtering iron and stone into the air.

Quickie whistled: "That's rude, the Railway Administration is going to cry."

Wolf laughed: "We are Russian mercenaries now, a fighting nation, so simple and rude."

At the same time, Da Qing resolutely pulled down the emergency brake valve.The pointer of the pressure gauge next to it dropped rapidly, and after it dropped to zero kilograms, he let go of his hand.The train slid for more than two kilometers due to inertia, and stopped completely at a distance of three to 400 meters from the broken track.

There was a sudden commotion in the carriage.

Da Qing unscrewed the door of the driver's cab, said to the bewildered special train driver, "If I were you, leave immediately, the farther the better", and at the same time tapped the button to open all the doors.

Several Humvee off-road vehicles rushed out of the wilderness on both sides of the railroad track, approaching the bottom of the roadbed, and more than a dozen mercenaries wrapped in camouflage, holding machine guns, climbed up from the open door.

The two sides exchanged fire in the blink of an eye, and the sound of gunshots and bullets flew across the carriage, mixed with the screams of the female flight attendant.

Sha Qing walked out of the cab, Leo grabbed his wrist and looked sternly.

"This is the order of the military. If the Arctic Fox doesn't take over, another group of mercenaries will take over." Sha Qing said, "They used to be my teammates."

"I know. But I don't want you to face the hail of bullets again." The black-haired detective insisted.

Sha Qing thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, then we'll wait and see what happens. Anyway, these former Blackwater security guards are no match for Arctic Fox at all."

Gennady was surrounded by security personnel when the train stopped suddenly.The well-trained security guards shot back while calling for support, and found that the assailant was extraordinary in skill and fierce in firepower. It was just a "mini-gang" rapid-fire machine gun with six spinning barrels, and the rate of fire of 6000 rounds per minute was instantly reduced. Blast the entire carriage beyond recognition.The security guards had to do their best to cover Gennady's transfer to the outside of the train, trying to seize an off-road vehicle and escape.

The female flight attendant who was serving at the table was so frightened that her makeup was all distorted, she curled up and hugged Gennady's thigh tightly.The security guards yanked her twice but failed to pull her away. Although Gennady was flustered, he couldn't forcefully kick her away out of masculinity, so he had to ask the security guards to take her with him.

People kept getting shot and fell to the ground in the spray of blood.Under the thunderous attack of the attackers, the security guards were either killed or injured. The remaining six or seven guarded Gennady and rushed to the side of the off-road vehicle and pushed him onto it.

The captain led the members of the "Arctic Fox" to jump off the train and continue chasing after him. Only Aurora remained in the compartment with a sly look on his face. He dragged out a metal lockbox from under the dining chair where Gennady was sitting just now.

With little effort, he opened the case, took out a laptop, plugged it in, and turned it on. "The new electronic technology significantly improves the performance of memory chips? It can sell for a lot of money." Ji Guang took off the huge earrings, inserted one of them into the USB port, and prepared to copy the data.

As countless research theories, design drawings, and simulation demonstrations were presented on the screen one by one, Ji Guang's eyes widened in surprise, and the carefree look that had always hung on his face disappeared.

"What is this?" he murmured, "A new type of helicopter, fighter-borne electronic warfare system - 'Prophet'? Using digital radio frequency memory technology to implement a multi-beam antenna array, jamming and counteracting any defense system of the enemy, including 'Patriotic' "Air defense missile system... The radar intelligence collection function can effectively identify electromagnetic radiation from other countries. The built-in database can deal with different types of electronic facilities, and can quickly determine the type of target, and implement effective reconnaissance and interference... What the hell is this? Memory chip technology is clearly a military secret combat system! If we touch this, we will be hunted down by superpowers all over the world! Fuck, fuck, we got fooled!"

He suddenly pulled out the half-copied earring USB flash drive, put it in his pocket, jumped out of the car and ran towards the captain.
