Chapter 365: Vampire Seeking Monthly Pass) 4500 words
According to the DEA's original plan, Sydney would help Tapia launder money. After reaching a certain number of times, Tapia would not be afraid of not contacting Sydney. Because according to the DEA's intelligence, Tapia is also facing a problem now.
Professionals must help solve it.
That means he has too much money!
For ordinary people, money is never too much. But for drug lords, they will never be short of money. The real problem is what to do with the money.
Because of the improvement of financial controls, it is difficult for drug lords to conduct transactions through the banking system. It is too easy to leave clues and clearly expose themselves to the eyes of the state machinery. Therefore, in the world of drug lords, cash transactions are always the mainstream.
But after getting the money, there is still a huge problem. That is what to do with the money. Deposit it in the bank? I just said, no. And there is another problem, and that is paying taxes!
You want a group of drug traffickers to pay taxes? Regardless of whether they are willing to pay taxes, there must be a name, right? Should they just report the "income from drug trafficking"? No normal country in the world would tolerate these things, right?
What's more, Tapia is still an American citizen. If he dares to deposit money in a bank, the IRS will come to his door the next day. How did Al Capone, the famous Chicago godfather in history, get into trouble? It's because he didn't pay taxes.
He was thrown into jail after being caught. I think back then, everyone in Chicago, including five- and six-year-old children, knew that Al Capone was a gang godfather, but no one could try him. The result was like this
Many people have fallen in front of the IRS.
Naturally, Tapia will not make the same mistake again.
But the problem was that the drug dealers came in money too quickly and the profits were too big. As a result, Tapia had too much money to store. There were three cellars in his manor, and they were all full. The attic was even more filled to the brim.
The thing that bothers him most every day now is that those damn rats destroy his banknotes every day.
According to Tapia's past practice, he transported the drugs to Chicago by air, and then sent the money back to Cuba by water. As long as the money entered Cuba, it didn't matter. Cuba didn't care what happened to the U.S. dollars anyway.
Come on, even the Cuban side knew very well what Tapia was doing, but since he didn't harm the Cubans, they didn't bother to care. As long as Tapia handed over the benefits, they would pretend they didn't see it.
It's just that drug smuggling through the air and water has been so rampant in recent years that the coast police have blocked the waters too tightly, and there is a problem of insufficient air transportation capacity. One thousand kilograms of banknotes takes up more space than one thousand kilograms of drugs.
.
In other words, Tapia is now making money much faster than transporting money.
In short, he must find a way to launder the money or simply send it back to Cuba.
This is also the reason why the DEA asked Sydney to pretend to be a money launderer. As long as Sydney gets Tapia's trust and lets her operate, then they can definitely know the location of a large amount of drug money, and then they can personally steal the money.
, throwing Tapia into prison in one fell swoop.
Although this robbery by the Haitians was very dangerous and almost ruined the DEA plan, looking back now, I have to say that the Haitians did a good job!
Sydney was pursued by a group of Haitian gangsters and managed to keep Tapia's money and information. This was undoubtedly a big plus and allowed Sydney to get closer to Tapia faster.
This is what the DEA and Chicago police estimate.
But something weird happened. Tapia was unusually quiet. He didn't take any action. He even stayed in his lair motionless, as if he was afraid of the Haitian gang.
Tapia was quiet, but the Chicago police became busy.
Because Chicago has become a battlefield!
Just one day after the robbery, the Haitian Gang's station was bloodbathed!
A total of more than seventy Haitians were massacred! The scene was extremely bloody.
After that, people continued to be killed in the Chicago underground world, including Russians, Italians, Eastern European gangs, Latin American gangs, local black gangs and white gangs. In short, people kept being killed. The Chicago police were inexplicably confused.
These people have nothing in common. The only thing they have in common is that they are people on the road. Especially the circumstances of their death. Everyone suffered from excessive blood loss, but there was not much blood traces found at the scene.
At first, the Chicago police thought it was a gang war that had started again. But according to the informant's information, things have been quiet on the road recently. No gang has made any big moves.
Before the Chicago police could figure out the reason, the gang war broke out again.
There is no way, most of the people who died have some identities. Although the gangs and younger brothers of these people don't know who the murderer is, people in their profession don't need evidence. Anyway, they just need to identify their enemies.
So the gang vendetta begins.
Once a vendetta starts, it is difficult to control it. It is all done by gangsters. No one will stop because of this kind of thing, unless they lose face and admit defeat directly.
So the vendetta escalated into a fight in just a few days.
When night falls, many communities with poor security immediately turn into battlefields, with gunshots happening one after another.
During this time, the Chicago police were almost exhausted. Once a shootout broke out, the police had to be dispatched.
In fact, gang fights are not a big deal to the police. As long as they are not excessive, the police rarely take care of it. Chicago has been a city for hundreds of years. Many things have already formed rules. For example, two gang fights are okay, but don't do it in public.
Don't leave corpses and bloodstains on such occasions, then the world will be peaceful. Anyway, for the public and the police, the death of gang members is not worth feeling bad about.
But the problem is, this time it’s not two gangs merging, but a dozen or more gangs, which is too much. The last time the GD gang collapsed, leading to a struggle for hegemony between princes, why was it such a big fuss? It wasn’t
Because it was too much. In order to calm down the chaos, the Chicago police spent a lot of effort to balance the originally chaotic situation. As a result, less than two years later, the balance that had just been formed in Chicago was broken again!
This made the Chicago police angry. At the same time, they also began to reflect on whether there was something wrong with the previous balancing policy. They must give an explanation to the people and the government, otherwise the big guys in the police department will not be able to get away with it.
…
Kai took Matthew into a scene, which was the residence of Vincent Carter, the leader of the Carter Gang in the north of the city. The gang boss with the same name as the famous basketball player passed away yesterday, and his family was also killed.
Old and young...
Although foreign gangs are not as strict about rules as East Asian gangs and do not harm wives and children, they rarely kill whole families because of gang conflicts. Firstly, there is no need, because they do not pay much attention to the death of father and son. Secondly, none of us have a family.
?Today you kill someone else’s whole family, and tomorrow it’s your turn, what will you do?
Kai and Matthew walked around the scene and found that although there were signs of forced entry, no useful information was left behind, no fingerprints, no footprints, and even the surveillance equipment had been cleared. The murderer was very professional and clean.
Neat and neat, after killing someone, he immediately retreated without any hesitation.
There was no property missing from the victim's home, and there was no sign that the house had been disturbed. It seemed that the murderer's goal was very clear, which was to simply kill someone.
The only thing that surprised Kai was the way the victims died. These people all died of excessive blood loss, but there were no obvious external injuries on the body. Although there was blood on the scene, it was very little.
"How's it going? Did you see anything?"
Sometimes Kai has to admit that people are different. Kai considers himself to be a qualified policeman. If he is a little cheekier, it would not be too shameful to say he is excellent. But when it comes to handling cases, he still considers himself to be a better police officer.
Not Matthew.
He has extremely sharp and powerful observation, judgment and logical reasoning skills, and many difficult and complicated cases can be easily solved once he gets his hands on them.
"It's not the same murderer." Matthew said firmly.
This was the third scene the two of them had visited. In the three scenes, the victims died in similar ways. But in Matthew's view, even so, the methods and habits of committing the crime were quite different. They were definitely not committed by the same person.
For example, at the first scene they visited, although there was also excessive blood loss, there were very few blood stains left on the scene. However, the deceased was killed when he was alone, and there were no signs of violent intrusion at the scene.
In the second place, the method of death was the same, but the deceased was obviously tortured before death. However, no innocent people were implicated, only the target was killed.
But here, although the method of death was the same, it was a violent break-in, and then the whole family was killed!
Three scenes, the same way of death, but three different ways of committing crimes.
This was definitely not done by one person.
"This is very interesting."
Kai touched his chin and suddenly felt a very strong sense of familiarity. After Kai saw the death methods of the victims for the first time, Kai felt that the death methods of these deceased gave him a sense of familiarity. But he was not sure.
, after all, there are still some things missing. And Kai is not sure whether those things still exist.
Now after what Matthew said and after he personally inspected the scene, Kai became more and more sure that it was those things.
A series of murders, different murderers, but the blood of the deceased had been drained, and coupled with the familiar smell left at the scene, Kai was basically certain that those things had not escaped!
"I didn't expect that these guys still exist." Kai muttered to himself.
"What?" Matthew asked curiously.
Kai smiled, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just heard similar things said before."
"Huh?" Matthew was immediately interested. "Have you caught the murderer?"
"I don't know. I was still a soldier at the time and didn't care much about it." Kai shrugged.
Matthew was doubtful, but he couldn't see anything from Kai's expression, so he put the matter down again. He felt that Kai had something he didn't say, but it was hard for him to ask. Who hasn't kept a secret yet? Besides,
The murders in front of him obviously couldn't have anything to do with Kai, so he didn't ask any more questions.
But the moment Matthew turned around, Kai's body suddenly shook rapidly, so fast that most people would think they were dazzled.
At the same time, in a dark alley not far from the scene, a tall and handsome man who pretended to be well-dressed appeared from the shadows.
"I didn't expect that these vampires haven't been exterminated yet. Were all those European countries living on dry food back then?"
Yes, this is Kai's clone technique. Now this person is Kai's body. What remains in place is his clone. The level of Kai's clone technique is still too low to allow the clone to have qualified strength, so Kai
Generally speaking, the clone is left behind, and then the main body goes out.
"Come out and find the location of those vampires. Let's go hunting!"
Following Kai's words, countless blood-red eyes immediately opened in the shadows behind him, accompanied by waves of impatient growls.
Then Kai disappeared, and calm returned to the alley.
…
In an abandoned factory in the south of the city near Lake Michigan, a group of people in black gathered together. Each of these people had pale faces and wore sunglasses in the middle of the night. They looked like a group of fellow Taoists who were taking drugs to stun their nerves.
"Why should we help a human? I hate it."
An Asian guy said very unhappily. He is the only Asian here. In the American social ecology, the status of Asians has never been very high. It can even be said that in terms of political status, they are at the bottom. This is not an exaggeration.
, the status of Asians is really low. On the contrary, those black people always say that some people discriminate against them, but in fact, the status of black people is much higher than that of Asians. But here, this Asian guy is the only one
People who dare to complain.
On the contrary, everyone else remained silent and watched this little brother perform alone.
"Because Dickon Faith needs it!"
A female voice suddenly came from the darkness, and the people in black immediately turned their heads to look. Raquel, who had appeared at Tapia's house before, walked out of the darkness. This time, she was no longer wearing the lady's outfit.
It's a tight-fitting leather jacket that makes people's blood swell when they see it.
And behind her, there were three people.
Two tall and strong men were holding a man with a chain, who was wearing a huge old-fashioned metal diving helmet. The man was skinny and had sharp nails. When he walked, he walked like a lizard with an splayed figure. It looked very funny.
"Tapia is our important supplier, we can't lose him!" Raquel walked up to the Asian guy and looked down at the muscular subordinate in front of him. The aura on his body made the Asian guy inexplicable.
took a step back.
"I know you don't like working with food, but he is helpful to Dickon Faith's career, so we must tolerate his existence. Are you satisfied with this reason, Zhen?"
It seems that this Asian guy’s surname is Zhen.
"I understand." Although the Asian guy was a little unconvinced, he was lower than Raquel in terms of strength and status, so he had to give in.
Raquel also doesn't like this Asian. Firstly, it's because of deep-rooted racial discrimination. She came to Europe a hundred years ago and has no favorable impression of Asians. Secondly, it's because of the unruly Asian guy. This guy
Although he has a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, he is a thorn in the side. If it weren't for his fanatical belief in the idea that he is Dickon Faith, I believe that even Raquel would not be able to suppress him.
"As long as you understand, then I hope you won't complain anymore."
After speaking, he looked at the others.
Zhen is special here, not only because of his talent, but also because he has a good brother. Because of this, he is so unruly among the strict hierarchy of vampires but has not been killed. Dickon Faith has always hoped to be able to
He drew Zhen's brother, the Death Walker codenamed Snowman, into his camp. Therefore, he always treated Zhen favorably.
Raquel knew very well that most of these people were very dissatisfied, and Zhen was just the one they pushed out. Now that Zhen was suppressed, others naturally did not dare to show disobedience anymore.
Seeing that everyone was obeying, Raquel nodded with satisfaction. But at this moment, the hunky weirdo behind Raquel suddenly turned his head to a shadow in the factory building and kept saying something like
The sound of frogs croaking.
Raquel immediately made a fighting stance and shouted in that direction: "Who?!!"
Others immediately took the same defensive stance.
"Ah? Have you been discovered?" A handsome, well-dressed man slowly walked out of the shadows, but he didn't panic at all: "It seems that you vampires have made some progress over the years."
