Chapter 12 The Meeting of 4 Men

Two people?

Besides Brian, did Elmod provoke other people?

Jason was startled first, then smiled.

"It's not surprising that someone like him has something to say about his enemies, right?"

Jason said so.

"certainly."

"It's normal."

"As it should be."

David nodded without refuting.

After all, this is the truth.

However, the middle-aged sheriff kept his eyes on Jason, and he hoped to see something different from Jason's eyes and expressions.

Because according to the meeting in the evening, Amaud should be the one in "Cross Street Stalker" who was looking for evidence of his wife's affair. In other words, it should be arranged by the "impersonator".

As for Armod's own search for Jason?

David didn't believe it at all.

Not to mention that Elmode's acting style determines that there is something wrong with Elmode, and it is impossible to find detectives or the like.

As far as he knew, Armod had no wife at all.

There are a few lovers.

But I am afraid that none of those lovers would dare to betray Ermod.

The ruthlessness of the other party is obvious to all in Cherry City.

Because of this, David became more and more curious.

Who is that 'copycat'?

Enter has the courage to 'blackmail' Ermod.

Does the other party have any handle on Ermod?

If so, what would that handle be?

The middle-aged sheriff guessed silently in his heart.

From beginning to end, the middle-aged sheriff stared at Jason without looking at Kemi, who lowered his head.

Naturally, he didn't notice the worry that flashed across Kemi's face.

Two people shot at the same time?

Dad is one.

Who is the other one?

Will Dad be in danger?

Cammy thought almost subconsciously.

She wanted to control her expression, but Kemi, who had not undergone similar training, couldn't control her expression at all, so she could only hide it by bowing her head.

Jason turned his body slightly to the side, calmly allowing his tall and sturdy body to completely cover Kemi.

"It doesn't look like your conversation this afternoon was pleasant?"

The middle-aged sheriff, who observed nothing, began to test his words.

"Um."

"It's very clear that he will solve everything."

"but me?"

"It was luck that I saw him."

"Just let me say something, Your Excellency, it's an honor to meet you."

Jason didn't deny it.

"Yes, Armod's style."

The middle-aged sheriff laughed.

In addition to being ruthless, Aimode is well known for his domineering style.

It's just that this time, Imod has obviously provoked the wrong person.

"Do you think the death of Ermod has something to do with the imitator?"

the middle-aged sheriff asked.

"do not know."

Jason simply shook his head.

The middle-aged sheriff glanced at Jason, and after staring again for two or three seconds, a smile appeared on his face.

"Very well, I understand."

"If you have anything, call me."

The middle-aged sheriff took out a business card.

It says a separate, distinct call from the police call.

"OK."

Jason nodded and accepted the card.

At this time, McCall, who was on the side, came over with Teri.

"Captain David, can I leave?"

McCall asked the middle-aged sheriff directly.

Obviously, the two sides knew each other.

It's just that... the system is not good.

Jason could see that when McCall came over, David frowned directly. Although it was only a moment, it was still captured by Jason's keen vision.

"Of course not!"

"Detective McCall, I need you to cooperate with my investigation."

"Why are you here?"

"Please answer carefully, or I will report to revoke your private detective certificate."

The middle-aged sheriff rarely restrained his smile and said with a serious face.

"I'm here to eat, of course."

"Otherwise for what?"

"Provoking trouble?"

"Stop joking, I won't provoke Ermod."

McCall asked deliberately.

"Better not."

"What about her?"

"who is she?"

The middle-aged sheriff pointed at Terry.

"She's my newly recruited assistant. She just started her internship today, so you'd better not scare her."

McCall answered without blinking.

The middle-aged sheriff looked suspiciously at Terry's slightly immature face. Although Terry had dressed up quite maturely, she was still too small, so small that people couldn't help but doubt it.

However, McCall immediately took out the documents that had already been prepared.

"This is her letter of appointment, with a copy of her ID on the back."

McCall handed the employment letter to the middle-aged sheriff.

David looked at the employment letter carefully, and looked at the copy of Terry's ID card, and asked someone to check it.

In the end, after all was well, David allowed McCall to leave.

Jason naturally left together.

"Your Excellency Jason, please be careful of irrelevant people."

As Jason walked out of the hotel, the middle-aged sheriff reminded him.

"OK."

Jason agreed.

"That sheriff seems very wary of you?"

After walking hundreds of meters and confirming that there was no one around, Jason asked McCall.

"not me."

"It's the same with all private investigators."

"Something happened before that made this sheriff sensitive to private investigators."

"But he's a good man."

McCall said.

Jason nodded noncommittally.

Cammy couldn't help it.

"Good guy?"

"I feel like he's a smiling fox."

"Badly and treacherous."

Cammy said.

"Well...you feel right."

"He's a fox."

"But that doesn't conflict with him being a good guy."

McCall emphasized, and then looked at Jason.

"What do you think about Ermod?"

McCall seemed to believe Jason quite a bit, without any hesitation, let alone any doubts, just asked so simply.

"He provoked the wrong man."

As Jason said this, he looked at the 3A apartment that was close at hand.

A strange look appeared on his face.

...

Brian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he settled his daughter in Jason's apartment.

With Jason around, Brian believes his daughter is safe.

So……

Aymod!

Brian's eyes froze.

His working life has taught him that the enemy must be eliminated.

And his post-retirement life reminded him that if he didn't want to live miserably in self-blame, he had to kill Armod.

Two very different life experiences sound the alarm.

Brian naturally didn't have any hesitation.

He walked out of the apartment, got in the car and headed straight for Armod's mansion.

After his lair was in ruins, he believed that Ermod would definitely return.

Aymod's position in Cherry City does not allow him to 'back out'.

Once there is a retreat, let alone Armod's enemies, even Jean's subordinates can't help tearing him apart.

This is the underground rule.

Of course, Ermod will definitely be fully prepared.

So, Brian threw the car directly into the alley by the side of the road before entering the block full of wealthy people.

He opened the trunk, and then pressed toward the side lock.

click!

In the crisp sound, a camera obscura opened.

Brian directly propped up the camera obscura. Under the faint moonlight, three pistols, one submachine gun, several magazines and five grenades were neatly placed in it.

This is a 'small arsenal' that Brian carries with him.

Although there are no heavy weapons, basic armament is sufficient.

Putting one of the two pistols on the waist and the other under the armpit, the magazines were removed one by one into the inner lining, and all the grenades were hung in the hidden pocket of the waist, and Brian picked it up directly. With the submachine gun, pull the bolt and dive into the shadows.

...

John stood on the roof with his back against a chimney. He hid his body behind and looked at the Armod mansion below.

John is no stranger to Armod.

Although he has never dealt with in the real sense, John is very familiar with the name of the other party.

Of course, definitely not a good reputation.

John has heard several times what the other party has done in order to 'keep his business'.

However, at that time, he didn't care.

Because he retired.

He has a wife, he needs a stable life, and he must stay away from such darkness.

But it happened unexpectedly.

The death of his wife left him devastated.

Fortunately, his wife left him a last hope.

Daisy!

But now... Daisy is dead too.

Killed by this bastard in front of him.

There must be some process in the middle that he does not know.

But he couldn't care less.

Buzz, buzz!

The modified mobile phone around his waist vibrated slightly.

This kind of vibration can only be felt when it is actually touched, otherwise, it is impossible to perceive, let alone hear, retracting his body, John took out his mobile phone.

There is no backlight at all, and the words on it can only be read clearly by the moonlight.

*****: You can't do this!

The anonymous name warned John.

John replied with a cold face—

tell them!

tell everyone!

Who dares to stop me!

J!

Kill them all!

After replying, John put away his mobile phone and picked up the sniper rifle beside him.

...

Aymod looked at his house with a gloomy face.

Before he left in the afternoon, the house was a well-deserved mansion.

And now?

Just a rubbish!

Do not!

Dirty is not enough to describe it!

It should be... Ruins!

Anger mixed with killing intent hit Ermod's sanity.

You must know that this mansion is not only proof that he has stepped into the 'high society', but also one of his secret bases.

Compared with those bases outside, this base located in a wealthy area has a natural advantage.

Even those annoying cops don't come here to patrol at will.

Therefore, he put enough important things here.

Top quality goods!

and also……

collect!

Thinking of the latter, Ermod's face became more gloomy.

The mansion and the goods were nothing compared to his collection.

The mansion is gone, you can buy it again.

The goods are gone, you can find them again.

But those favorites are gone...

That's tantamount to depriving him of his ultimate hope!

This is unacceptable to Ermod.

As for the dead men?

As long as you have money, you can have as many such subordinates as you want on the streets.

He doesn't care at all.

Even his so-called number one man, Asa.

It's just a "tool person" that is a little easier to use. As long as he is willing to spend more money, such a person is not impossible to find.

However, his collections are different.

Taking a deep breath, Ermod waved to the people around him.

"Dig it for me!"

Ermod ordered.

Although the ruins in front of him had told him that his collections were basically over, Ermod didn't give up.

None of Aimode's subordinates around dared to defy their boss, except for a team of close-fitting bodyguards, everyone took action.

Some people took out tools such as shovels from the trunk of the car, while others simply digged with their hands, hoping that their 'hard work' would attract the attention of their bosses.

Too bad it didn't work at all.

In Ermod's eyes, the people in front of them are the same as those who died before.

They are all 'tool people'!

There is nothing to be concerned about with 'tool people', especially when these 'tool people' are not easy to use.

"Sir, you need some excavator and professional help."

The old butler suggested in a low voice.

"Well, go get in touch."

When Elmod faced the old housekeeper, his tone softened a lot.

The old butler in front of him is different from those 'tool people'.

It is another proof that he has stepped into the 'high society'.

He was hired at a great price.

Most importantly, this old butler works well.

Is a useful tool.

Just like this time, just a phone call, and everything is done.

"The so-called 'Housekeeper Alliance' is really good."

"There are no downsides other than being expensive."

After seeing the old housekeeper nodding to him, Amaud couldn't help thinking.

It's not that he hasn't hit the idea of ​​the "steward alliance", but if he fails, the consequences will be unbearable for him.

So, he endured.

But for the person who destroyed his mansion, Ermod could no longer bear it.

"just wait!"

"I'll find you soon!"

"And then you..."

Ermod whispered to himself, but before the words were finished, he felt a burst of heart palpitations.

Years of gang career made him shrink his body almost instinctively and hide behind a bodyguard.

Aymod's movements are quite fast.

but!

Bullets are faster!

Bang, bang!

Two shots were fired almost indiscriminately.

Two bullets, one aimed at the heart and one at the head.

Almost at the same time, Ermod was hit.

The large-caliber sniper rifle directly opened a hole in Ermod's chest, while the bullet from the submachine gun ripped apart half of Ermod's head.

thump!

Aymod's corpse fell to the ground like a tattered doll.

"assassin!"

"There are assassins!"

Around, Ermod's bodyguards and subordinates shouted loudly.

Some of the quickest ones were looking for the shooter.

But such a quick response has caused them to suffer a disaster.

Bang, bang, bang!

John, who was squatting on the house, started the roll call one by one.

He said it, rush to kill.

That is to really kill them all!

This time, the sound of gunfire finally made the people below lock the assassin's position.

One by one, they took aim at John while looking for cover.

At this moment, Brian, who was hiding in the shadows, glanced at the sniper on the roof in surprise. He didn't know John, but he knew that this time was a good opportunity.

The opportunity to wipe out the backbone of Ermod's forces in one fell swoop.

Ermod is dead, and his daughter is largely safe.

But it's not safe!

There is still a certain probability that there will be revenge!

But what if all the backbones of Elmod and Elmod's forces died?

It is of course safe and secure!

Almost without hesitation, Brian pulled the trigger of the submachine gun, and at the same time, a grenade was thrown by him.

Da da da!

Boom, boom!

The sound of the submachine gun was quickly drowned out by the explosion of the grenade.

These Ermod's bodyguards and subordinates were directly stunned.

They were focusing on John, their attention was on the roof, and they didn't even think there would be an attack behind them.

A group of people caught off guard!

More importantly, John on the roof also threw grenades one by one.

Boom boom boom!

After a series of explosions, Ermod's bodyguards and men on the ground suffered heavy casualties.

Then, John and Brian seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection, and started to shoot the bullets, reaping the lives of these scumbags.

These subordinates of Ermod are fierce and vicious to ordinary people, and they are all people who dare not provoke them.

But for John and Bryan, it's just an amateur within an amateur.

Especially in the first two rounds of attacks, the completely stunned amateur faced the top existence of the two professionals, that was a one-sided massacre, and there was no room for resistance.

After a few minutes, the gunshots stopped.

The bodyguards and subordinates belonging to Ermod on the ground have been swept away.

A looming siren sounded in the distance.

After John and Brian looked at each other from the air, the former turned over and disappeared on the roof, while the latter hid in the shadows.

When the police car felt it, the whole scene was full of corpses.

Only the old butler stood there blankly.

Hunter reported to David as he ran out of the car.

"Sheriff!"

"Armod is dead!"

...

Jason and McCall stand side by side.

Kemi and Teri walked behind, chatting in low voices from time to time.

The general content is hobbies, shopping, shopping and the like.

When the two talked about a bag of the season, Jason couldn't help turning his head to look at the two girls.

If he hadn't known what happened to the two, Jason would have thought that the two had just returned from shopping.

A woman's heart is so big.

Jason thought silently.

Then, he couldn't help but glance at McCall.

At this time, McCall also looked embarrassed but seemed to have some memories.

"Never mess with a woman."

McCall whispered in a voice that only he and Jason could hear.

Jason nodded slightly.

Then, the two of them looked at 3-13 at the same time.

Jason could clearly hear the breathing of the two people in the room, which was quite familiar.

McCall's hand involuntarily touched the pistol on his waist.

Jason waved his hand.

"acquaintance."

With these words, Jason took out the key and opened the door.

In the room, John and Brian sat face to face on the sofa, both observing and guarding.

The two never imagined that they would meet again in less than an hour after leaving each other in front of the Elmod mansion.

Fortunately, both of them maintained considerable restraint when confirming the other person Jason.

The two were waiting quietly.

Waiting for Jason's return.

Therefore, when the door opened, the eyes of the two looked together.

Jason stepped in.

McCall was close behind.

Kemi and Terry, who were one step behind, did not come in immediately.

For a while, there were only four men in the room: Jason, John, Brian, and McCall.

The four looked at each other.

Then, each pulled out the right number of sofa chairs, and sat down around the round coffee table.

The four looked at each other.

Feel the similar but different breaths of each other.

Surprise and thought appeared in each of their eyes.

After about ten seconds of silence, John, Brian, and McCall all focused on Jason.

This is Jason's room.

This is true even if it is rented.

Naturally, Jason should be the first to speak.

Jason didn't shirk. He rested his elbows on the armrests, his thumbs rested on his chin, and the remaining eight fingers crossed each other, covering his mouth, and the voice came from his hands.

"Everyone, do you think that everything that has happened so far...is a coincidence?"
