Chapter 376: Position and Accidents (I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival) for next month
Kay was woken up by Teresa the next morning and asked him to take Matthew to the Washington Park area of South City. This area is known as a 'war zone', between Highway 90/94 and the University of Chicago.
area, the area from 51st Street to 63rd Street, a typical black community. There are many underground bars there, and many University of Chicago students like to drink and take drugs there, because minors under the age of 21 are prohibited from purchasing and taking drugs in the United States.
Drinking, and in those speakeasies, this law is equivalent to farts, and the same goes for drug dealing. Marijuana is already very common in Illinois, and there are even groups now starting to push for the legalization of marijuana.
There is an unbreakable truth in this world, that is, people's interest in something that is easy to obtain will be greatly reduced. Therefore, in order to pursue excitement, those college students with strong hormones began to give up marijuana and instead purchased more exciting cocaine and
Heroin.
At first, Kai thought Theresa was asking him to handle a drug-related case, but only after he fell down did he realize that it was actually a murder case!
All the people in the bar were killed, a total of twenty-three people! Without exception, all of them were killed. These people had gunshot wounds, open wounds caused by sharp blades, and some were decapitated. In short, they looked very strange on the surface.
Like a gangster vendetta.
Hundreds of bullets were found on the walls and floor of the bar!
This was a complete massacre. It’s no wonder Theresa asked Kai to handle this case. Although Kai has not been in office for too long, his ability has been recognized by the entire police detective bureau.
He is considered the ace of the Chicago Police Department. It is best to hand over such a difficult case to Kai. In addition, letting Kai handle this case shows that the top brass of the police department are angry. After all, among Kai's resume, he has handled
The murderer in the case rarely enters the police station alive. The superiors don't care about life or death now, they just need to find the murderer.
At first, Kai thought it was a gang vendetta. It's not uncommon for places like this to fight for territory, but this time it was a little bigger. These people's hands all have calluses from holding guns for a long time, and the patterns and models scattered on the ground are messy.
The gun he owned was in line with the sought-after characteristics of gangsters. Until he came across the body of the bar owner. Although the owner also had injuries on his body, the real cause of death was not due to those injuries.
"These people have been tortured. They were executed." Matthew carefully looked at the beheaded corpses and immediately came to a conclusion. "This does not fit the characteristics of a gang fight. The murderer is not the same person.
, and judging from the scene, these people have undergone rigorous training and they cooperate very well."
Matthew finally walked over to the boss's body, pointed at the boss's death state and said, "This is the same. He also experienced torture, but he died of poisoning. It seems that it was not the murderer who poisoned him, but himself.
Taking poison. These are not consistent with the characteristics of a gang vendetta."
Nonsense, what kind of gangster can cause such a scene? They are just torturing and grabbing territory. Is it necessary to be so cruel?
Kai could see more clearly. He saw the black blood flowing from the corner of the bar owner's mouth. He gently touched the black blood with gloves and put it under his nose and smelled it. "Silver nitrate."
Silver nitrate is rarely used as poison. It is mostly used as photosensitive material. If you really want to use poison to commit suicide, wouldn't chloride be better? It's quick-acting and highly toxic. Plus Kai's
The hounds smelled something vaguely like a vampire.
It is not difficult to guess who the murderer is who caused all this.
Just when Kai was about to continue investigating the scene to see if he could find any useful clues, a group of guys in suits suddenly walked in. They were DHS, the famous Department of Homeland Security.
They took out a bunch of authorization documents signed by unknown persons and asked Kai and his men to leave the scene immediately and hand everything over to them.
Although DHS is a newly reorganized department, due to the 911 incident, DHS's power is not small. On the contrary, it has considerable power in many places, such as combating domestic terrorism. And from a level perspective, DHS belongs to
A cabinet agency that is a cabinet department of the federal government along with the Department of Justice. When necessary, the Department of Homeland Security can call on any law enforcement force, including the FBI, and they can even directly call on the National Guard if necessary.
So when DHS took over the scene on the grounds of "terrorist attack," not even Kay, not even the Chief of the Chicago Police Department could stop it.
…
"The Department of Homeland Security has taken over everything, and the police department has issued a confidentiality order. It seems that vampires are much more troublesome than we thought." Kai returned home and told the Wen brothers and others about what happened today.
Listen, and Matthew is sitting next to Kai.
Matthew has been curious about the identities of Dean and others since they told them about the 'King in Yellow' cult. Last night, Bobby brought Rufus to ask for help, which made this curiosity even more intense. Seeing this situation,
Kai knew that there were some things that could not be hidden from Matthew, so he simply did not avoid Matthew. It was okay to let him know some things. The King in Yellow cult he investigated was also a supernatural force.
Matthew actually feels very surreal now, like a vampire or something...
But the problem was that he didn't think Kai would use such a clumsy lie to deceive him, and it would be of no benefit. So he decided not to express his opinion for the time being, and first find out what was going on.
Bobby's senses are more complex than Matthew's. They are both experienced demon hunters, but they never knew that vampires are so powerful! They can actually mobilize the Department of Homeland Security. Demon hunters are not actually afraid of monsters. If they are afraid of them, they are not afraid of them.
Won't go down this road. What they really have a problem with is the US government!
Thinking that if they continue to hunt vampires, they are very likely to face the huge federal government, even Dean's audacity makes his scalp numb.
The same is true for Kai. No matter how hard it is, one person cannot fight against a country.
But Kai quickly thought of a way. Since they couldn't deal with one state agency, let another state agency step in.
SHIELD!
Thinking of this, Kai directly dialed Agent Phil's phone number.
"Hello, this is Phil Coulson."
"It's me, Kai."
"Oh, Kai! What? You figured it out? That's great." Phil seemed very happy to hear Kai's voice.
"No, I'm not calling about this. I'm here to ask for help." Kai didn't respond to Phil's excitement. Every time he called, he always started like this. People who didn't know thought that S.H.I.E.L.D.
What a shortage of people.
But what was different from the past was that Phil did not respond enthusiastically to Kai's request for help. Instead, Kai received a period of silence for about ten seconds.
"What? You already know why I asked you for help?" Phil's response was very unpleasant, and Kai instinctively sensed something was wrong.
Phil obviously understood why Kai asked for help. "How did you know?"
"They kill people everywhere in the city and always leave some clues. Besides, I've even seen Cerberus, so it wouldn't be surprising if I knew about vampires." Kai's explanation was very reasonable. After all, I've seen things more magical than vampires.
After that, vampires are nothing.
"And these are minor. I need SHIELD's attitude now. Aren't you a department that specializes in dealing with this kind of thing? Now vampires are killing people everywhere in Chicago. Isn't this your business?"
Phil was speechless, but the problem is that things in the world are not that simple. War is an extension of politics, and government departments like them are even more so. Government departments that do not talk about politics are all rogue organizations!
If there were not so many bad things involved in this incident, Phil would have brought people to Chicago as soon as possible. But now... Phil has a sense of justice, but the problem is that he has a better view of the overall situation! The director has already
I told him that there were too many things involved in this incident, and SHIELD had to make sacrifices.
Phil is not a white lotus, and a white lotus cannot be an agent.
"Sorry... please give us some time, we will handle it soon." Phil said evasively.
Kai was silent for a while, and he could understand what he meant. In fact, when he cared about Hannibal's identity and activities, he understood SHIELD's position. So he didn't expect SHIELD to really stand up and fight vampires.
, this is not what he needs.
"Is this your answer?"
Phil responded silently.
"Okay, I understand. But I still need your help."
"What?"
"I need SHIELD to help me clear some obstacles. If SHIELD doesn't want to directly conflict with the vampires, then let the demon hunters and us solve this matter. Just us and the vampires!" Kai said.
Phil pondered for a moment and found that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with this. According to the agreement with the vampires, they did not interfere with vampire revenge, but it was normal to do some small things in private. SHIELD is not a gathering place for heroes.
It takes spitting and nailing. If he is so upright, is he a Juyi Hall or a secret service organization?
Anyway, they gave the vampires a chance. If the vampires still can't handle it, it only shows that they are incompetent.
"I understand. Good luck to you then."
"Yeah, wish me good luck." When he said this, Kai showed a cruel smile.
Is the Department of Homeland Security strong? To Kay, it is just that. What really scares Kay is the meaning behind the Department of Homeland Security. Going against the entire U.S. government? It is neither necessary nor worth it.
As long as there is no obstruction from the federal government, Hannibal can beat the shit out of vampires!
Just when Kai put down the phone and was about to say something to Bobby, Teresa's call suddenly came in.
"What? You want me to be responsible for the security of the art exchange meeting?"
Kai asked in surprise.
Kai still knows about the art exchange meeting. There are many art schools in Chicago, and it also has the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the three major museums in the United States. The art atmosphere is very strong. Of course, this does not affect the fact that Kai is not interested in art, but
His girlfriend likes it. This devil girl went to business school entirely because of her mother's request. Her mother always hoped that she could inherit their family's business. Anyway, Sandra always felt that she was a prodigal daughter and the family property was handed over to her.
It was a miracle that her hands were not corrupted. If she wanted to develop, she didn't think she had the ability at all, so she hoped that her daughter could inherit the family business and she could enjoy life unscrupulously.
It's so real.
Kelly actually wanted to major in art the most. She was very interested in these things. So when the Louvre decided to hold an art exchange with the Art Institute of Chicago, Kelly was very excited and asked Kai to go to the exhibition with her very early.
This time, the Louvre has put out a total of 105 authentic works of art for joint display at the Art Institute of Chicago. The value of these works of art alone exceeds 1.2 billion US dollars! It is definitely a huge deal.
But Kai was very busy recently, so he didn’t agree to it. More importantly, Kai had no artistic talent at all, so what was he doing?
Kai originally thought that the matter would just go away, but he didn't expect that Teresa actually asked him to be in charge of security.
Kai was confused. What is security? To maintain order? Isn't that what the patrol does? As for protecting art... That's a good idea. The Art Institute of Chicago and the Louvre both have complete security systems. Art
The security of exhibits is very cumbersome and professional, which is far from the protection of VIPs. Apart from maintaining security outside, the police are not involved in the security inside the exhibition hall at all. Unless the exhibits are stolen, then the police are on the scene.
timing.
Otherwise, the police should just stay outside.
"Why? Does this matter have something to do with our detective bureau?" Let a criminal policeman be responsible for the security of the museum...Which genius came up with this idea?
"Originally not, but as soon as that playboy Stark called me, it mattered. This playboy named you to be responsible for security, and the bureau couldn't refuse." It turns out that this genius is Tony Stark, what's more?
It's really like what he would do. It can be seen from Theresa's tone that she doesn't like this proposal either. The original police detective bureau doesn't have enough manpower, and the ace is transferred to do some security. Theresa
It's strange to be happy.
"He said this is to warm up the expo, so he needs support from the Chicago government."
It's nonsense here. Does an industrial expo need to exhibit art to warm up? But again, what does the boss say? Who calls him rich? Now Chicago regards this playboy as the God of Wealth.
Also at this time, the news on TV was broadcasting the press conference before the exhibition.
Kai didn't pay attention at first, but he immediately saw an acquaintance on the screen. He was so caught off guard that the coffee in his mouth spurted out.
puff!!!
"Why is she here?"
At the press conference, Kay saw Diana, wearing a burgundy deep V tight long straight dress, answering reporters' questions!
Kai was unmistakable, that was Diana. There might be people who looked alike in this world, but Diana's unique Amazonian temperament was unmistakable.
Why is she here???
Kai watched with wide eyes as Diana talked calmly, without any of the clumsiness she had when she first entered the human world. She seemed to be at ease and very adaptable.
