According to the original plan of the DEA, Sydney will help Tapia launder money. After reaching a certain number of times, there is no need to worry that Tapia will not contact Sydney. →Because according to the intelligence of the DEA, Tapia is now facing a problem that must be solved by professionals.

That is, 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 how to deal with the money.

Because of the improvement of financial regulation, it is difficult for drug lords to conduct transactions through the banking system. It is too easy to leave clues, and it is obvious that they will expose themselves under the eyes of the state machine. Therefore, in the world of drug lords, cash transactions are always the mainstream.

But after the money is in hand, there is still a huge problem. That is how to deal with the money. Deposit it in the bank? Just said, no. And there is another problem, that is, paying taxes!

You ask a group of drug dealers to pay taxes? Regardless of whether they are willing to pay taxes, there must be a name, right? Do you report "drug trafficking proceeds" directly? I think any normal country in the world cannot tolerate these things, right?

What's more, Tapia is an American citizen. If he dares to deposit money in the bank, the IRS will come to his door the next day.

How did the famous Chicago Godfather Al Capone fall? He was thrown into prison because he didn't pay taxes and was caught. Back then, everyone in Chicago, including children aged five or six, knew that Al Capone was a gangster godfather, but no one could judge him. As a result, such a person fell in front of the IRS. (Al Capone was sentenced for 11 years because of tax evasion. Because he was isolated from influence, his influence weakened and his gangster empire collapsed.)

Tapia will naturally not repeat the same mistake.

But the problem is that drug dealers make money too quickly and the profit is too big. This has led to Tapia's money being too much to fit. There are three cellars in his manor, which are now full. The attic is even more full.

Now his biggest worry every day is that those damn rats will ruin his money every day.

According to Tapia's previous practice, he would transport drugs to Chicago by air, and then send the money back to Cuba by water. As long as the money entered Cuba, it didn't matter. Cuba wouldn't care where the US dollars came from anyway. Cuba was even very clear about what Tapia was doing, but he didn't harm the Cubans, so they didn't bother to care. As long as Tapia handed over the benefits, they would just ignore it.

It's just that in recent years, drug smuggling from the air and water has been too rampant, causing the coast guard to block the waters very tightly, and there is a problem of insufficient air transportation capacity. One thousand kilograms of banknotes take up more space than one thousand kilograms of drugs. (They can only use private small planes to transport them, and the large planes are too strictly controlled)

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 why the DEA asked Sydney to pretend to be a money launderer. →As long as Sydney gets Tapia's trust and lets her run the operation, they can find out where the large amount of drug money is, and then they can catch the person red-handed and throw Tapia into jail.

Although the Haitian robbery was very dangerous and almost ruined the DEA's plan, looking back now, we have to say that the Haitians did a good job!

Sydney saved Tapia's money and intelligence under the pursuit of a group of Haitian bandits. This is undoubtedly a big plus, allowing Sydney to get closer to Tapia faster.

Both the DEA and the Chicago police estimated this.

But a strange thing happened. Tapia was unusually quiet. He didn't make any move. He even stayed in his lair without moving, as if he was afraid of the Haitian gang.

Tapia was quiet, but the Chicago police started to get busy.

Because Chicago has become a battlefield!

Just two days after the robbery, the Haitian gang's base was bloodbathed!

A total of more than 70 Haitians were massacred! The scene was extremely bloody.

After that, people kept getting killed in the Chicago underworld, including Russians, Italians, Eastern European gangs, Latin American gangs, local black gangs and white gangs. In short, people kept getting killed. The Chicago police were confused.

These people had no common characteristics. The only thing they had in common was that they were gang members. Especially in the way they died, everyone had lost too much blood, but there was not much blood at the scene.

At first, the Chicago police thought that the gang war had started again. But according to the information from the informant, the gangs were calm recently. No gang had made any big moves.

Before the Chicago police could figure out what was going on, the gang war broke out again.

There was no way, most of the people who died had some status. Although the gangs and their younger brothers didn't know who the murderer was, people in their line of work didn't need evidence. Anyway, as long as they were sure that it was their rivals who did it, the gang vendetta began.

Once the vendetta begins, it is difficult to control. Since they are all gangsters, no one will stop because of this, unless they don't care about their face and just admit defeat.

So the vendetta escalated into a gunfight within a few days.

When night fell, many communities with poor public security immediately became battlefields, with gunshots one after another.

During this period, the Chicago police were almost exhausted. Once a gunfight broke out, the police had to go out.

In fact, gang fights are not a big deal for the police. As long as they are not excessive, the police rarely intervene. Chicago has been a city for hundreds of years. Many things have formed rules. For example, if two gangs fight, it is okay, but don't do it in public, don't leave corpses and bloodstains, then the world will be peaceful. Anyway, for the public and the police, the death of gang members is not worth feeling sorry for.

But the problem is that this time it is not a fight between two gangs, but a dozen or even more gangs, which is too much. The last time the GD gang collapsed, it led to the hegemony of the princes. Why was it so big? It was because it was too much. In order to quell the chaos, the Chicago police spent a lot of effort to balance the originally chaotic situation again. As a result, less than two years later, the balance that Chicago had just formed was broken again!

This made the Chicago police angry, and they began to reflect on whether there was something wrong with the previous balance policy. They must give an explanation to the people and the government, otherwise the big guys in the police station will be in trouble.

…

Kai took Matthew to a scene, which was the residence of Vincent Carter, the boss of the Carter Gang in the north of the city. This gangster with the same name as the famous basketball player died yesterday, and his family was also killed…

Although foreign gangs are not as disciplined as East Asian gangs and do not harm their wives and children, they rarely kill the whole family because of gang conflicts. First, there is no need, they don’t care about the father’s death and the son’s succession. Second, who doesn’t have a family? Today you kill someone else’s family, 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, there was no useful information left, no fingerprints, no footprints, and even the monitoring equipment was cleared. The murderer was very professional and clean. After killing, he retreated immediately without any drag.

No property in the victim’s home was lost, and there was no sign of the house being turned over. It seems that the murderer’s goal is very clear, that is, simply killing.

The only thing that surprised Kai was the way the victims died. These people died of excessive blood loss, but there were no obvious external injuries on the surface of their bodies. Although there were bloodstains at the scene, they were very few.

"How is it? Did you see anything?"

Sometimes Kai had to admit that people are different. Kai considered himself a qualified policeman. If he was a little thick-skinned, it would not be too bad to say that he was excellent. But in terms of handling cases, he still believed that he was not as good as Matthew.

He has extremely sharp and powerful observation, judgment and logical reasoning abilities. Many difficult and complicated cases can be easily resolved once he has handled them.

"It's not the same murderer." Matthew said affirmatively.

This is the third scene they have run. The victims died in similar ways at the three scenes. But in Matthew's opinion, despite this, the methods and habits of committing crimes are very different. This is definitely not the hand of the same person. For example, the first scene they visited, although it was also excessive blood loss, there was very little blood left at the scene. But the deceased was killed when he was alone, and there was no sign of violent intrusion at the scene.

The second place, the death method was the same, but the deceased was obviously tortured before death. But there was no innocent person implicated, only the target was killed.

And this place, although the death method was the same, it was a violent break-in, and then the whole family was killed!

Three scenes, the same death method, but three different ways of committing the crime.

This is 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 method of the victims for the first time, Kai felt that the death methods of these deceased gave him a sense of familiarity. But he couldn't be sure, after all, there were still some things missing. And Kai was not sure whether those things still existed.

Now after Matthew said this, and after he personally inspected the scene, Kai became more and more certain that it was those things.

A series of murders, different murderers, but the deceased were all drained of blood, plus the familiar breath left at the scene, Kai can basically be sure that those things are not running away!

"I didn't expect that these guys are still there." Kai muttered to himself.

"What?" Matthew asked curiously.

Kai smiled, shook his head, and said, "Nothing, I just heard about something similar before."

"Huh?" Matthew was immediately interested. "Did they catch the murderer?"

"I don't know, I was still a soldier at the time, and I didn't care much about this." Kai shrugged.

Matthew was skeptical, but he couldn't see anything from Kai's expression, so he put the matter aside. He felt that Kai had something to say, but he couldn't ask. Who doesn't have some secrets? Besides, these murders in front of him obviously couldn't have anything to do with Kai, so he didn't ask any more questions.

But just as Matthew turned around, Kai's body suddenly shook rapidly, so fast that ordinary people would definitely 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 decent walked out of the shadows.

"I didn't expect that these blood-sucking species have not been exterminated yet. Were those European countries just sitting there doing nothing?"

That's right, this is Kai's clone technique. The person now is Kai's real body. The one who stayed in the original place is his clone. Kai's clone technique is still too low to make his clone have qualified strength, so Kai usually leaves his clone behind and then goes out with his real body.

"Come out and find the location of those vampires. Let's go hunting!"

Accompanying Kai's words, countless blood-red eyes immediately opened in the shadows behind him, accompanied by waves of impatient roars.

Then Kai disappeared, and the alley returned to peace.

...

Inside an abandoned factory near Lake Michigan in the south of the city, a group of people in black gathered together. Each of these people was pale and wore sunglasses in the middle of the night, looking like a group of Taoist friends who were taking drugs and crazy.

"Why should we help a human? I hate this."

An Asian guy said very unhappily. He is the only Asian here. In the social ecology of the United States, the status of Asians has always been not 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 blacks always say that someone discriminates against them, but in fact, the status of blacks is much higher than that of Asians. But here, this Asian guy is the only one who dares to complain.

Instead, everyone else kept silent and watched this guy perform alone.

"Because Deacon Faith needs it!"

A female voice suddenly came from the darkness, and the people in black turned their heads immediately. Raquel, who had appeared in Tapia's house before, walked out of the darkness. This time she was not wearing the lady's dress, but a tight leather jacket that made people's blood boil.

Behind her, there were three people.

Two tall and strong men were leading a slender man wearing a huge old-fashioned diving metal helmet with an iron chain. The man was skinny and had sharp nails. When he walked, he walked with his feet turned outward like a lizard. It looked ridiculous.

"Tapia is an important supplier for us. We can't lose him!" Raquel walked in front of the Asian guy and looked down at the muscular subordinate in front of him. The momentum on her body made the Asian guy inexplicably take a step back.

"I know you don't like working with food, but he is helpful to Deacon Faith's career, so we have to tolerate his existence. Are you satisfied with this reason, Zhen?"

It seems that the 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 didn't like this Asian guy. First, because of the deep-rooted racial discrimination, she came from Europe a hundred years ago and had no good feelings towards Asians. Second, it was the Asian guy's rebelliousness. Although this guy has talents that ordinary people can't reach, he is a thorn. If it weren't for his fanatical belief in Deacon Faith's ideas, I believe even Raquel couldn't suppress him.

"I understand, then I hope you don't complain anymore."

After saying that, he looked at other people.

Zhen is special here, not only because of his talent, but also because he has a good brother. Because of this, he is so rebellious among the hierarchical vampires but has not been killed. Deacon Fess had always hoped to pull Zhen's brother, the Death Walker codenamed Snowman, into his camp. So he had always treated Zhen well.

Raquel knew very well that most of these people were very dissatisfied, and Zhen was just the one who stood out. Now that Zhen was suppressed, others naturally dared not show disobedience.

Seeing that everyone expressed obedience, Raquel nodded with satisfaction. But at this moment, the strange man with a hunched body behind Raquel suddenly turned his head towards a shadow in the factory and kept making a sound similar to the croaking of frogs.

Raquel immediately took a fighting stance and shouted in that direction: "Who?!!"

Others immediately took the same defensive stance.

"Ah? Discovered?" A handsome man in decent clothes slowly walked out of the shadows, but he was not panicked at all: "It seems that you vampires have made some progress over the years."

This person is naturally Kai.
