As a result, Kai was hit back by a series of bullets as soon as he walked around the corner and showed his head. Everyone inside was blocking the entrance, and they would shoot anyone who dared to show his head. Seeing this situation, Kai knew not to attack forcefully, as that would be more than worth the loss. So he gestured to the others not to come. Since they refused to come out, don't blame him for being rude.
After everyone found cover, Kai took out three shock bombs from his tactical vest.
In a small, closed environment like a ship's cabin, non-lethal weapons like shock bombs are definitely powerful enough. Kai pulled out the latch on the shock bomb and let it sit for a few seconds.
“Fire in the hole!!!”
When three shock bombs appeared in front of the gangsters, a group of gangsters were stunned. They did not see that they were shock bombs, and thought that the police were planning to kill them all with hand grenades! So everyone hurriedly looked for cover to hide!

Especially those gangsters with bombs in their hands, they hid in the corners full of swear words! If this leads to a suicide bombing, no one will survive! They couldn't figure out who the gangsters were. Are all Chicago police officers so desperate now?
As a result, before they could take cover, the shock bomb exploded.
The explosion of the shock bomb is not big, but it will cause a strong flash and a huge noise of about 170 decibels. Since the visual cells of the human eye have a picture retention effect (movies rely on the principle to connect multiple pictures into a dynamic video in the human brain), it takes at least 5 to 10 seconds to restore vision. And if you don't wear earmuffs, such a loud noise is enough to knock people out. And obviously, no one here except Kai and the others would ever think of wearing earmuffs.
So while the shock bomb blinded their eyes and deafened their ears, Kai took Matthew to make arrows and rushed in with the others.
After entering, without saying anything, anyone holding a weapon will be shot to death. This is the power given to the police by the law. When the police are enforcing the law, they can shoot if they feel that their lives are threatened. It's very subjective, but this is the American police, so when the police are enforcing the law, it is best not to act like a hero, because it is very easy to get shot. This is also the reason why many American police officers kill people with violent law enforcement, but nothing happens. Because they would argue that it was because they felt their lives were threatened, so they shot. As for what made them feel threatened... there are many reasons. Anyway, they can always find a reason.
Anyway, the American police are different from the domestic police. The domestic police must have a real reason to shoot. The domestic police's guns are more of a deterrent. If you can't, try not to shoot.
In short, these are tough gangsters and armed with weapons. It is absolutely reasonable and legal for Kai and others to kill them. Even if the President of the United States comes, it will be useless.
Soon all the enemies in the cabin, well, the enemies with guns, were eliminated. As for those who are still alive, most of them are honest. It's no use being dishonest. Those who really have a bad brain have already gone to bed, and the rest is just an online IQ.
After all, the crime they committed was not a capital crime, and there was no death penalty in Illinois, just jail time. For most people here, being in jail is their normal state, and it is even possible that they are more adaptable in prison than outside.
"Wow!" After Mike tied up a surrendered gangster with plastic handcuffs, he looked up at the cabin. As a result, he was immediately startled by the scene in front of him. The entire cabin has been transformed into a laboratory. On more than a dozen test benches, in addition to a dazzling array of experimental equipment, they are full of white powder. "Hey! Marcus, it looks like you don't have to lose your job this time."
The drugs were found, although there may have been a little more. These guys have started processing a long time ago. Although they have not been able to process all the 'No. 5' into a smokeable level, half of them are already finished products. I wonder if the higher-ups will be happy? After all, as the amount of drugs increases, so does the credit.
Now that the drugs have been found, it's time to find the instigator.
Soon the ‘nerd’ was brought over. This dear friend came from a wealthy family and graduated from a prestigious school. He had never seen such a bloody scene before. After being brought in, he vomited for a few minutes before he recovered. But even so, he still did not dare to look at the corpses.
"Who is the mastermind?"
Kai asked the nerd to identify the mastermind, but the guy shook his head and said without even looking, "He has run away and is not here."
It turned out that after Kai led his men into the cabin, that guy ran away with a few of his confidants. This guy has a secret passage on the ship that leads directly to the sea. This is also the reason why he chose this freighter as a secret base.
Seeing that he couldn't catch Fouche, Kai didn't care. The important thing was the drugs. Besides, they had caught so many people, and they could always find Fouche's tail in them. Now that the drugs are found, the detective bureau has plenty of time to slowly play cat and mouse with the guy.
"Hey, Teresa. Good news, we found the drugs and you can have someone take over."
…
In about ten minutes, a large number of police officers arrived at the Port of Berkeley. Although they were routinely protested by longshoremen and unions, this time the Chicago Police Department didn't care about them at all. Damn it, the sound of gunshots at the port was almost heard. Half of Chicago, if the Chicago police can be pushed back by those workers and unions, then the Chicago police should be closed down.
Soon, the whole of Chicago received the news that the police raided a drug factory at sea, killed more than 50 drug dealers, arrested more than a dozen people, seized more than 70 guns, several high explosives, and nearly 2.5 tons of drugs! And there were almost no casualties!
What a morale-boosting news! It not only showed the general public the determination of the police to crack down on criminals, but also showed off its strength. Killing and arresting more than 70 people, without any casualties, this is definitely the best record of the Chicago police in the past ten years!
As for the previous theft case... The Chicago police did not disclose the theft of drugs at all. Anyway, the drugs were found, and there were a lot more. This is double the credit. If the theft case was exposed, they might be ridiculed and criticized by the media. As long as those police bosses are not stupid, they will know what to choose.
This matter was handled so beautifully that the senior police officers collectively ignored the previous ban on the Operations Department and praised Theresa for her good and wonderful work. As someone who aspires to become a politician, Theresa has always done a good job in this regard. Who can't praise each other in business? So Theresa also returned the favor and praised the upper-level bosses.
The general meaning is that the achievements of the Operations Department today are inseparable from the cultivation of the leaders. The successful completion of this operation is all thanks to the leaders' careful consideration and decisive command.
Anyway, although the flowery sedan chair carries the people, although the credit is shared, in fact Theresa can only get more. Everyone is not stupid. Since Theresa is so sensible, then the benefits must be given, otherwise who will be so sensible next time?
This kind of political game rules are the same all over the world, and no country can escape from it.
Although the upper level did not directly promote Theresa this time, after all, she had just been transferred, and it was not so easy to get promoted, but the upper level gave the green light to many things, such as the funding of the Operations Department increased by about 30%, and there were some other benefits that I won't go into detail. In a word, the upper level may have made a profit, but Theresa will definitely not lose.
As for the few people who actually did the work, especially the four core figures of Kai, Matthew, Marcus and Mike, there were also many benefits.
Although neither the media nor the police department reported the list of all the people involved in the operation, it did not ignore their contributions. On the contrary, those who knew the details of the matter knew that the four of them were actually responsible for the perfect solution of this major case that could shake the entire police station.
To be more precise, it was Mike and Marcus. As for Kai and Matthew, they were more involved in combat.
But whether it was Mike and Marcus's case-handling ability or Kai and Matthew's combat effectiveness, they were both very necessary for the Chicago police. As long as the brains of the Chicago police are not broken, they know that they must be treated well.
So Marcus got a salary increase, Mike was rewarded and promoted, and Kai and Matthew did not get these treatments because of their special circumstances, but they had promised that they would definitely be promoted within two years, and the other four received a series of preferential treatments. I won't list those preferential treatments one by one, anyway, Kai and Matthew don't care much at all.
In short, everyone is happy.
…
"Fouche, a Frenchman, once served in the permanent elite force dedicated to anti-terrorism operations, the French National Gendarmerie Special Forces (GIGN). He served in Africa for a long time. After retiring, he also had connections with some African warlords. Later, because the French knew about it, he became a wanted criminal. Over the years, this person has been engaged in various criminal activities in French Africa, Central Africa, and South America. He is more like a special mercenary, responsible for action planning."
In the Chicago police, many people know that Matthew is an interrogation expert. He is very proficient in the psychological defenses of criminals. He always communicates from the perspective of criminals at the beginning of the interrogation, and then uses sharp words to break down the psychological defenses of criminals step by step. His interrogation style is fierce and cold, and he doesn't even treat criminals as human beings. But it is undeniable that this is very effective, and when has Kai ever treated criminals as human beings?
"Who hired him this time?" Theresa listened to their reports in the office.
"Juan Carlos Johnny Tapia!"
Matthew said calmly. As a result, when the name came out, Teresa stood up in shock, and Marcus and Mike also stood up, looking stunned.
"Juan Carlos Johnny Tapia?" Marcus was full of hope that he had heard it wrong.
"Yes." Unfortunately, Matthew broke his fantasy.
Juan Carlos Johnny Tapia, a Cuban immigrant. His mother fled to the United States during the Cuban Revolution. His family was originally a truly wealthy class in Cuba, and even had a lot of property in the United States. Unfortunately, after the Castro Revolution, their family property in Cuba was confiscated. So their family fell into poverty, but his mother was a ruthless person. As a woman, she gathered a group of Cubans to engage in illegal transactions and earned the first pot of gold for the Tapia family.
Now Juan Carlos Johnny Tapia (hereinafter collectively referred to as Tapia) is already the largest drug supplier in Chicago. Even when the GD Gang was at its strongest a few years ago, they did not dare to do anything to him because he controlled 60% of Cuba's drug production. He has many Cuban guerrillas who are willing to die.
But if that were the case, Theresa, Marcus, and Mike wouldn't have reacted so strongly. No matter how powerful the criminal is, the police wouldn't be so scared. The real reason why the police are afraid of him is his cunningness.
The police had noticed him a long time ago and had taken action against him more than a dozen times, but each time they failed. He was arrested seven or eight times, but each time he was safe and sound, and then he sued the police in turn. Over the years, the compensation he received from suing the police alone was as high as 20 million...
Now, all the police in Chicago are afraid of him. It's not that they dare not arrest him, but they have to pay him money after arresting him. This is too hurtful to their self-esteem, and the police have no dignity in front of Tapia. The compensation he got from the police station can make him a millionaire.
"Why is it him?" Mike was a little surprised, why is it Tapia. "The drug network he controls is very large, and he doesn't care about this batch of goods at all!"
Indeed, a mere ton of No. 5 is nothing to Tapia.
"For demonstration!" Matthew said slowly.
Demonstration? To whom? To the police? That doesn't make sense. Even if Tapia is really not afraid of the Chicago police, there is no need to humiliate the Chicago police like this.
"It's Kingpin!" Matthew threw a document on the table, which contained all the information he had found about Kingpin.
"Kingpin? That's just a legend." Marcus didn't look at the information because Kingpin's legend was widely spread. Some people said that he was the gangster overlord of the East Coast of the United States, and many gangs in the East Coast cities were controlled by him. Some people also said that Kingpin was the absolute master of the underground world in New York, and completely controlled the dark world of the world's largest city. He was the king of the night in New York. Any gangster who wanted to enter New York must show his loyalty to him, otherwise they would die.
Others said that Kingpin belonged to a mysterious organization that controlled more than 60% of organized crime in the world.
In short, it was very mysterious, but many people didn't believe it, especially policemen like them.
The reason was simple, it was too ridiculous.
If Kingpin was really so awesome, would the US government just sit there and watch? They would have done it long ago! In fact, if you pay attention to the gangs in major cities, you can find a problem. The larger the city, the less likely it is that one gang will dominate. For example, in Chicago, the GD Gang was at its peak, but it could not even unify the South City of Chicago.
Another example is the two largest black gangs in the United States - the Blood Gang and the Crips Gang. They are much more powerful than the GD Gang, and they have a better history and more people, but they can't dominate any big city.
Due to the national conditions of the United States, there are indeed many gangs, but doesn't the US government know? It's impossible. So they have their own set of coping strategies, that is, if gangs exist, they can't be eradicated, but if gangs want to dominate, don't even think about it.
When the Crips Gang was established, it was so powerful that it seemed to be in a dominant position. As a result, the Blood Gang, which was hostile to it, was established in a blink of an eye. Then the Crips Gang began to split substantially, with factions everywhere, attacking each other, and even the Blood Gang joined a faction of the Crips Gang to attack another faction.
In a blink of an eye, the cohesion of the Crips Gang was almost gone, and each faction was independent. The Bloods are similar. Although not as serious as the Crips, in fact, the Bloods are nominally companions, but most of them are doing their own thing and not interfering with each other.
This would be impossible without the secret manipulation of the US government. Even after the GD Gang established the underworld alliance - the Family Alliance, the hostile gangs immediately united to form an alliance - the National Front. It would be impossible without the intervention of the Chicago police. Didn't you see that the GD Gang was seriously injured, and after the collapse of the Family Alliance, the National Front was also finished soon.
In short, although the name Kingpin is widely spread, few people really believe it.
"I don't know if this person exists, but I am sure of one thing. Tapia is going to deal with this so-called Kingpin!" Unexpectedly, Matthew said categorically. "Remember the original owner of that batch of drugs? I just investigated and he was sent by Kingpin."
