Owen sat at the bar and ordered himself a glass of tequila, and Benjamin sat next to him. They had been working on the case together for the past two days, and the target was White Mask.
Judging from the information available to the FBI, White Mask not only planned the recent premiere bombing, but was also involved in multiple murders.
As the investigation deepens, more and more information is gathered.
The White Masks are not only ferocious, but also cunning. Whenever they go to a place, they never choose hotels to stay, nor do they stay in urban areas. Instead, they choose residential houses near the suburbs.
The population density living there is low, and families are usually several kilometers apart. Even if something happens, no one will know about it in a short time.
Everywhere they go, they will control the owner of the house. Usually they will not kill them right away, but will help them do something, and then brutally kill them when they finally leave.
The old couple in the cabin were the fifth family they killed a few days ago. The bodies of the old couple were found in the bathroom bathtub. According to the memories of the people in the town, the husband of the old couple was killed two days ago.
Horns also once drove a young man to the town to do some shopping.
From this we can see that people with white masks are not only cruel in their behavior, but also very courageous.
Since this kind of serial murder case spanned across state lines, the FBI naturally couldn't stand by and watch, so the case naturally fell into Benjamin's hands. This led to the close cooperation between the two departments.
But for several days, there was no clue, and those guys in white masks seemed to have disappeared.
…
The next morning, Nevada
Avril, whose injuries were basically no longer serious, changed into clean clothes and walked into a smoke-filled office.
In the office, there were several big men standing here and there, all of them looked fierce and looked like they were not good people. When they saw Avril Lavigne appearing, some of them had an inexplicable light in their eyes.
Avril, who was dressed in leather clothes, seemed not to notice the cannibalistic eyes, and walked straight to a desk in the middle. There was a dagger stuck on the desk, and the man behind the desk looked at the woman quietly.
I have never seen a woman dare to walk into the territory of their Wolf Gang so brazenly.
Avril looked disgusted, "'Bat' Wells?"
The man behind the table nodded, and Avril threw a handbag in front of the man with a "pop" sound.
"Here are two hundred thousand dollars..."
Wells sat upright, looked at the U.S. dollars on the table, and then at Avril Lavigne, with a trace of greed in his eyes. But he still held back and asked: "What do you want me to do?"
"Two hundred thousand is just a deposit. I will hire you and your men for three days, and I will give you another two hundred thousand after three days. But within these three days, you can do whatever I say, kill people and set fire, you must obey my orders, otherwise...
"
With a "click" sound, the dagger on the table was in Avril's hand at some point, and in the blink of an eye it was pierced on the dart board paper on the opposite wall, hitting the tenth ring in the middle.
"Okay, deal. Don't talk about murder and arson. You asked me to attack the White House, and I did it."
Wells agreed readily and took the handbag in his arms. There is no shortage of outlaws in the United States. As long as they are given enough money, they will dare to do anything.
Avril nodded with satisfaction, but Wells shook his head at his men without leaving any trace.
It wasn't like he hadn't thought about taking advantage of others, and his men were already eager to try, waiting for him to give the order to capture the woman in front of him.
But Wells still chose not to take action.
He can be the boss of the Wolf Gang with two skills. Not to mention the woman's style, the gun callus on the palm of her hand that she accidentally exposed just now is not something that ordinary people can have.
Wells opened it and took a look. It was indeed twenty neat stacks of Franklins. Compared with the risk of offending this woman, he would just earn the 400,000 Franklins honestly.
That night, Wells drove into California with more than thirty of his men. Avril never thought of giving up Zheng Anshun and escaping alone.
Although Zheng Anshun is not a member of Avril Lavigne's original team, he is a person recognized by Avril Lavigne. As long as she is recognized by Avril Lavigne, no matter what happens, Avril Lavigne will find a way to rescue them. Avril Lavigne will not let go of anyone else.
In my heart, for example, the cannon fodder of Wells's men around me now are dead.
In the hazy night, a group of people also arrived in Los Angeles. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Avril pointed to a small villa on the hillside and said: "Go there, we will spend the night there tonight."
Wells said a few words on the intercom, and all the cars drove towards the hillside and soon stopped in front of the villa.
The lights were dark in the villa. Wells and his desperadoes got out of the car, and several dogs barked in the villa.
Wells waved his hand, and one of his men with a bald head and a guy with a mohawk approached the main entrance of the villa. Mohawk looked at the door, and after waiting for a few seconds, no one came out. It seemed that no one was here.
.
The experienced bald man stood at the door and looked in. He soon discovered that the alarm was on with a red light. The owner of the house had not turned it on before leaving.
The glass shattered with a "crash" sound, and the two people standing in front of it entered the house.
The dog barked fiercely, but then disappeared after two "wuwu" sounds. Then the lights in the villa came on, and a bald-headed voice came from inside: "Boss, there is no one inside..."
A group of desperadoes entered laughing and joking. Avril looked at them with contempt and hid in a room. She needed a quiet place to receive news.
The rest of the guys started having an unbridled party in the villa.
In front of the kitchen, the puppy body lying on the ground was kicked away, and then a guy started rummaging for food in the refrigerator. Soon he returned to the living room with a lot of the food he found, and threw it one by one to a few people on the sofa.
Guy.
At the same time, someone found wine in the wine cabinet, champagne of various vintages, tequila, whiskey, martini...
The guy opened all the bottles with a smile on his face. These were all good wines. Expensive drinks that they couldn't afford to drink at ordinary times would now be opened for them to drink.
Some of the others started peeing in the swimming pool, while others went to the bedrooms and cloakrooms to look for other goodies.
In short, enjoy what you can enjoy, and destroy what you can't enjoy. Some guys have already started smashing the decorative vases in the house with baseball bats.
In the bedroom, Avril frowned as she listened to the noise outside. On the bedside table was a table belonging to the owner of the house. He was a handsome middle-aged man wearing a suit, with slicked-back hair, and a short beard.
Looks very stylish.
"Didi" twice, new information came in. Her news channel in Los Angeles finally sent accurate information.
"Tomorrow night, Zheng Anshun will be transported by the FBI to Baldwin Park Prison in Southern California. The route is..."
With the accurate information, Avril started to turn on her computer to study the route. Los Angeles was not her home ground, so she had to have a complete plan. This rescue operation for Zheng could only succeed, not fail.
…
The guys in the villa were tossing around until very late before they calmed down. Avril left two people on watch for the night while the others fell asleep. Everything was calm until the next day. The owner of the villa didn't know what he was doing and didn't come back all night.
In the morning, Avril asked Wells to gather his people and start assigning tasks. She personally formulated the action plan, which was also her strength.
At noon, the group of people drove away. Avril changed their plans temporarily and was not going to fight hard with the FBI, so they had to prepare some things in advance. Because they left in a hurry, they did not have time to destroy everything in the villa.
