Like Zhang Pin, Chen Jiaju actually didn't expect this group of people to be so crazy.
I have to say that although it has not been long since I came to America, for Chen Jiaju, it can be said that it has continuously refreshed my knowledge.
The atmosphere here is really too impetuous.
But when he saw the thugs rushing towards him, Chen Jiaju was not afraid.
He turned around and kicked his legs, directly kicking back the thug who was coming towards him.
But at this time, the second thug had already rushed over.
Once the first person started making samples, the other thugs no longer hesitated. The timid thugs ran away as early as Sir Zhang reported his identity.
Of course, some of those who are still here are brave enough that even the Investigation Bureau is not afraid of, and some of them were brought by the manager when he came.
Judging from the manager's decisive choice to take action, it was obvious that the other party had already planned to take action.
Although Zhang Pin was a little surprised by this, he was not panicked.
After confirming that none of these people had any intention of using a gun, he did not even choose to draw a gun. Instead, he tightened his bathrobe tightly, and then quietly waited for the thug to approach.
To be honest, Sir Zhang has not experienced this kind of bare-handed fighting for a long time.
After coming to America, he encountered various cases one after another, and the dangers were self-evident. During this period, he faced tanks, shot at planes, and various bomb shootouts were commonplace.
This time I helped Chen Jiaju handle a case, and suddenly had to switch to hand-to-hand combat. To be honest, for Sir Zhang, it was a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Pin knew that judging from the situation in the bathing city, it was certainly not impossible for the opponent to produce firearms.
Hu Li was able to kill Tan Ruiqi with one shot just now, which means that at least they have a pistol. Now this person doesn't use it. Of course, it's not that he doesn't have it, but he doesn't want to use it or he doesn't dare to use it.
Although the manager decided to attack Zhang Pin and Chen Jiaju, the other party obviously did not have the courage to kill them.
For most criminals, killing police officers or investigators from the Bureau of Investigation is not an exaggeration, but this manager is different.
Even if Zhang Pin has now determined that this manager is definitely not clean and may have been involved in many cases, the fact that he can reach the position of management of the bathing city, at least on the surface, is different from ordinary desperadoes.
The other party was obviously not ready to commit murder, be wanted, and then go on the run.
In other words, even if he really dares to kill people, whether he can escape is still a question.
Bang bang bang——
When Sir Zhang was thinking, thugs were already surrounding him, so he raised his foot and struck continuously, kicking all these people back.
From the unexpected expressions of relief on the faces of several thugs, Sir Zhang confirmed another thing.
Even if the manager of the bathing city is ready to kill Zhang Pin and others, these thugs may not only not help the other party, but will actually stop them.
Obviously not everyone wants to mess with the Bureau of Investigation.
As workers, everyone obviously does as much work as they want for how much money they get.
These people were obviously a little distracted, and even when they took action, they were obviously reserved.
In this way, it will be easier for Sir Zhang to fight.
"Be careful Pinzi!"
When he was being beaten, Chen Jiaju, who was unable to go out as he wished, also stopped and started to fight with the thugs.
Although the Bath City is not as great as the Furniture City in boosting Chen Jiaju's combat effectiveness, it is filled with massage chairs and there was a footbath for soaking his feet there before. For Chen Jiaju, it is a fish in water.
So although he was being beaten, the thugs themselves were timid, fearing that they would damage him if they struck too hard. In addition, Chen Jiaju was able to use the terrain flexibly, so he even had the energy to help Zhang at this moment.
Match and cooperate.
With the two men joining forces, the thugs who were not afraid of him were quickly knocked to the ground by them.
And most of the thugs they knocked to the ground fell to the ground and were unwilling to get up.
"Damn it! Stop them!"
At the beginning, the manager was still thinking about what he should do after controlling Zhang Pin and Chen Jiaju.
As a result, after they started fighting, the more he watched, the more frightened he became. As more than half of the thugs surrounding him fell down at once, he didn't know that his plan was about to fail.
So he didn't expect these thugs to deal with Zhang Pin and Chen Jiaju, but asked them to help stop the two of them, while he himself prepared to escape.
"stop!"
Of course, Sir Zhang couldn't let the other party run away. After all, he didn't draw a gun and stayed here specifically to fight with these thugs. His purpose was to keep the manager so that he could get clues from the other party.
He was not in a hurry to deal with these thugs, he wanted to wait for Carter to catch Hu Li who killed Tan Ruiqi.
Because he doesn't know how many secrets this manager knows, and older guys like him are often experienced.
Although Sir Zhang has the status of the Investigation Bureau, this case actually belongs to Chen Jiaju, and it is impossible for him to really mobilize people from the Investigation Bureau.
In fact, both he and Carter were only helping in their personal capacity.
If the investigation bureau really gets involved, the case can definitely be solved, but the credit is hard to say.
Sir Zhang himself is not worried about his achievements being misappropriated.
But he is here to help Chen Jiaju, not to grab credit, so what he said before about arresting the manager and taking him to the investigation bureau or police station for interrogation is actually just to scare him.
But after waiting for so long, Carter has not come back, and there is no movement outside. Sir Zhang guessed that it would be impossible for Carter to succeed.
In this case, it is even more impossible for him to let the manager run away.
Click——
Bang--
So while one of the thugs was being beaten back, Sir Zhang took out a pistol from his arms, pointed it at the manager who walked to the door, and pulled the trigger.
"ah--"
The bullet accurately hit the manager's calf.
"Who else wants to test whether my marksmanship is accurate?"
After Sir Zhang fired the gun, he looked directly at the thug who had no desire to take action in the first place and only took action because of the manager's order.
"Run!"
Although these thugs were brave enough, after seeing Sir Zhang actually pulling out a gun, they all chose to run away.
"Go outside and see what's going on with Carter."
Sir Zhang saw that even the thugs who were originally lying on the ground ran away after seeing him shoot. Now, except for a few brave staff members, only the two of them and the ones lying at the door were left on the third floor.
The manager was holding his feet and wailing.
So he asked Chen Jiaju to go outside to check on Carter's condition.
After arranging for Chen Jiaju to go see the situation, Sir Zhang was originally going to interrogate the manager and get information about the boss behind the bathing city from him.
"Oops, Carter was knocked unconscious."
As a result, before Sir Zhang had time to speak, Chen Jiaju had already discovered Carter who had been knocked unconscious by Hu Li in the corridor.
"Stop shouting, stop shouting."
Carter really just fainted and woke up immediately after being shaken by Chen Jiaju. Then when he heard Chen Jiaju's shouting, Carter's originally dark face suddenly turned red.
Obviously, he felt very embarrassed that he was knocked unconscious by Hu Li, a woman.
"I didn't expect that woman to know Eastern Kung Fu."
After Carter was helped in by Chen Jiaju, his face was full of embarrassment.
He ran after Hu Li before, originally thinking that he was capturing a woman, so he would definitely be able to capture her.
Who would have expected that when she saw him chasing after him, Hu Li did not run away anymore, but turned around and stopped, and even put away her pistol.
Seeing this, Carter was ready to step forward for a sneak attack.
But when he got closer, Hu Li raised her foot and kicked him in the crotch, and then kicked him again. Carter fainted in shame and pain.
Rather than saying that Carter fainted after being kicked by Hu Li, it is better to say that he felt embarrassed and had no face to see others, so his body protected himself and passed out.
When Carter woke up again, he heard Chen Jiaju shouting in a loud voice, and Carter wished he could faint again.
Unfortunately, this time his body was not so cooperative.
"It doesn't matter. She can't run away. Let's ask this gentleman to do a favor first."
Zhang Pin was indifferent to Hu Li's escape.
At first glance, the other party knew that he was just a high-level thug who could be sent out by the mastermind behind the scenes to kill people and silence him. He also knew that he was definitely not an important person.
If Carter can catch the other party, at least the murder case of Tan Ruiqi will be solved.
But now even if I don't catch it, it's not a big deal.
Rather than this, Sir Zhang is more concerned about getting the information about the man behind the scenes from the manager.
"Don't arrest me, don't arrest me, I will say anything, nothing."
However, Sir Zhang was obviously overly worried. After he shot the manager in the calf, the manager immediately panicked.
In fact, the cases that Zhang Pin has been dealing with recently have been too high-end. In addition, when Carter took the two of them to gangster bars and billiard halls to inquire about information, there was a big scene due to misunderstandings.
Not to mention that they had just found Tan Ruiqi, and he was killed and silenced.
Therefore, when facing the criminals in this case, although Sir Zhang tried his best to keep his mind calm, he could not help but heighten his understanding of the criminals.
In Sir Zhang's view, the group of criminals he faced must be extremely vicious, and they would never look back until they hit the wall.
After all, the other party just found a clue on his side, and the other party took action decisively. He had clearly reported his identity as an investigation bureau just now, but the manager still took action against him.
In the end, no one knew that the other party was just a paper tiger.
In other words, this group of guys can certainly be very tough when they haven't had a real iron fist, because in the first half of their lives, or before they encountered this case, it can be said that it was smooth sailing, so they inevitably became proud, and
Some people don’t know the heights of the world.
But now it was discovered that Sir Zhang actually fired a gun at the slightest disagreement, and the manager was immediately frightened.
After all, although he committed a crime, he is just an ordinary middle-aged man.
Compared with the desperadoes Zhang Sir had encountered before, they were far behind.
Without Sir Zhang's questioning, the manager was ready to tell everything he knew.
Bang--
But at this moment, a gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole immediately appeared on the manager's forehead. Before the other party finished speaking, he could no longer say it.
Hearing the gunfire, Chen Jiaju and Carter subconsciously looked at Sir Zhang.
But at this moment, Sir Zhang had already put away his gun.
When he heard the gunshot, he quickly moved his steps to move his body away from the door.
"Another murder and silence."
Zhang Pin glanced outside and found no shooter.
"Damn it, could it be Hu Li again?"
When Chen Jiaju saw this scene, his face was a little annoyed.
"Don't worry, even if he doesn't say it, Chief Carter knows who is behind the scenes. You two, just look forward to it. At the next stop, Chief Carter will take you to Las Vegas to be cool."
Unlike Zhang Pin and Chen Jiaju, who were in a heavy mood, Carter started to sneer again at this moment.
"Oh, do you know the situation behind the scenes?"
Seeing that Carter didn't take the manager's death seriously, Sir Zhang naturally knew that the other party knew who was behind the scenes.
"That's right. You are a police officer in Luojishan. It shouldn't be difficult for the boss behind such a big bathhouse to investigate."
Then Sir Zhang suddenly realized that this time he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
Because neither he nor Chen Jiaju are from America, it is inevitable that they do not understand some things.
For example, in this case, the only clue they had was the clue given by Agent Beasley of the Secret Service.
Even if they want to investigate Tan Ruiqi in America, it is very difficult.
After all, Luoji Mountain has a population of several million. For these outsiders, it is simply an impossible task to find a person in it without help.
But if you look beyond the misunderstandings, this is only for the foreign population.
In fact, with the help of Carter, a local, what seemed impossible was accomplished in less than half a night.
For the same thing, for two outsiders, Zhang Pin and Chen Jiaju, if they want to know the identity of the boss behind a bathing city, of course they need to find an insider, so that they can get the news from the other party's mouth.
For Carter, he can skip this step directly because the other party already knows it.
"I wasn't sure before, but when I heard the conversation between Rich Tan and the Fox woman, they said Mr. Stephen, I knew I was right."
Carter smiled proudly, probably thinking that in the end he would have to solve the case on his own.
"Behind every big case, there is an evil old white man as the mastermind, and we happen to have a rich man named Stephen in Luojishan. It is rumored that he monopolizes half of the real estate in Luojishan. Of course, the other party's greater wealth
The source is still the huge casino in Las Vegas."
After Carter finished speaking, Zhang Pin and Chen Jiaju nodded in agreement.
They all particularly agreed with the white villain.
