Chapter 458: Crime Bargain (Please Collect, Recommend, and Vote for Me) Second Update, Please Vote for Me!!

Okay, these guys are basically all at the stairs. That's easy.

Just as the man disappeared around the corner with weapons and ammunition wrapped in a blanket, Kai lowered the attic stairs and walked down from the attic silently. He pulled out a Kimber LAPD SWAT Custom II pistol from his ribs, which is a modified government-type 1911 pistol produced by Kimber Company. The caliber is 45ACP and the standard magazine capacity is 8 rounds. It feels good, has low recoil, stable hit rate, very good muzzle velocity, and fast firing rate. There are no other disadvantages except that the range is a bit slow.

But SWAT itself is an urban special operations force, mostly fighting indoors, and there is no high requirement for range, so this CUSTOM TLE I just meets the requirements of SWAT.

After installing a silencer on the muzzle, Kai sneaked into the room that the injured gangster had just entered.

Kai scanned the room from the door of the room with an angled vision. There was no one in the dark room, only the sound of water and pain coming from the bathroom. It looks like they are in the bathroom.

"Fuck! Be gentle! I don't want you to kill me instead of me being shot by the police!" The injured gangster leaned against the edge of the bathtub, naked, and was shot in the shoulder socket. It seems that the bullet stayed in the body and did not form a penetrating wound.

But in fact, this kind of injury is the most difficult to deal with. There are joints and bones in the shoulder socket. If the bullet is shot in, it is better to take it out if it gets stuck somewhere. The most feared thing is that it hits the bone, the bullet head breaks, or it gets stuck directly in the joint. Once that happens, the best result is that the injured arm is disabled. If you are unlucky and the broken shrapnel pierces the artery, you will die without timely treatment!

"Shut up!" Another gangster, sweating profusely, used a knife to cut the skin and flesh of the injured man, and then gently stirred the wound with a pair of tweezers.

"Ah!!!!" The injured man would deliberately say some witty words at first to distract himself, but now, he said everything with a painful face. The bandit who finally treated his wound finally touched the bullet with his tweezers in the flesh. This guy was really rude. He didn't care about the wounded at all. He just used the tweezers in his other hand to pick out a small piece of metal from the flesh.

The wounded man was now in a coma.

Seeing his companion in a coma, the bandit who was acting as a doctor did not panic. He opened the wounded man's eyelids and found that he was still alive, so he didn't care about him anymore. Instead, he picked up a can of strong liquor from the side and poured it directly on the wound!

Then the unconscious guy was awakened by the pain again!

"Shut up! If you don't want to die, don't move. I'll stop the bleeding for you now!"

"Ah!!! Bastard, come and try!" Although the wounded bandit tried his best to endure it, he still screamed in pain.

Unfortunately, the companion on the opposite side didn't care about this at all, just kept washing his wound with strong liquor...

"Damn! I seem to be hallucinating..." It hurt so much, not knowing whether it was due to excessive blood loss, the injured bandit felt that he was hallucinating.

"Hallucination? Damn, did you take drugs before?" The bandit who bandaged his wound didn't care about his companion's nonsense at all.

"Ah? How could I see the police when I was taking drugs?" The guy was also in pain and his consciousness was blurred, and he actually started to talk nonsense.

"Police? There are everywhere outside..." The bandit who was acting as a doctor was about to rebuke his companion, but he was stunned halfway through his words. Damn, he felt something was wrong, there was someone behind him.

He just turned around and felt a shock behind his neck, and then his eyes went black and he didn't know anything, but he finally began to see the person behind him, that was a man wearing a police tactical vest.

'There really is a policeman! '

This was the last thought in his heart.

This policeman was naturally Kai.

Kai originally planned to shoot each of the two men, but when he saw that guy finally rescued his companion from the gates of hell, Kai felt that it was too cruel to kill him in a snap when others had finally rescued him.

Fortunately, Kai did not think of killing them all. After all, he still needed the confessions and information from these people. Kai did not get any information about the "Master of Mimicry", "Female Ninja" and "Gun Man" from Isabella before. It was said a long time ago that the "Prophet" Leslie was not a real prophet, and his ability was not stable, so there was no information about the three people.

He could only use a stupid method, starting with a living person!

In short, Kai softened his heart.

He let the two go.

"You are lucky!" Kai handcuffed the two with plastic handcuffs and threw them in the bathroom. Then he walked lightly to the stairs.

Actually, there is nothing to say next.

Being attacked from both sides, they had no second possibility at all.

That night, a total of thirteen people died in the gunfight and four were arrested!

…

Kai’s achievements made all the senior police officers very happy.

For no other reason, each of these 17 people had committed many crimes, and most of them were wanted by several states and the federal government.

Among the four surviving gangsters, three were wanted by the FBI, and each of them had a bounty of more than six figures.

Of course, for the Los Angeles police, the bounty was secondary, and the main thing was face!

However, the matter was not over yet, just as Kai thought before, it was not enough!

Recently, Los Angeles has been in such a mess that many bigwigs are paying close attention to it. Los Angeles is not Chicago. Chicago is in such a mess, but it has been hundreds of years. When has Chicago ever had better public security?

But Los Angeles is different.

Unlike those cities that have made their fortunes in industry and finance, Los Angeles' economy has a huge relationship with its city image!

Los Angeles is one of the important industrial, commercial, international trade, science and education, entertainment and sports centers in the United States. It is also one of the main bases for the US petrochemical, marine, aerospace and electronics industries. Los Angeles also has many world-renowned higher education institutions, such as California Institute of Technology, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Southern California, Pepperdine University, etc.

Among them, Los Angeles' service industry, such as law and audit firms, management and technology consulting agencies, human resources service agencies and other mid- to high-end institutions, employs nearly 200,000 people in Los Angeles alone, with an average annual increase of about 6% in the employed population. The growth rate of this sector is higher than that of other major cities in the United States, such as New York, Philadelphia, Detroit and Boston. The economic output value brought by the service industry accounts for about 30% of the city's economy.

There are also immigrants. Los Angeles has a large number of immigrants. The arrival of a large number of new immigrants has brought a lot of money and strengthened its position as the economic, commercial and financial center of the western United States.

In addition, there is tourism.

And these things need a good city image as a foundation!

Why was the Los Angeles riot so famous? It was because it happened in Los Angeles, which had an immeasurable impact on the city image of Los Angeles. Therefore, for so many years, the Los Angeles government has been trying to avoid this situation from happening again.

So the Los Angeles government attaches great importance to this gang war, and they must curb the continued deterioration of this situation.

How to curb it?

Of course, let both sides of the war understand that there is a behemoth staring at them, so that they can be honest.

This is why the Los Angeles Police Department is so bold and directly let an outsider airborne as the head of the West District Major Crimes Unit! They need a tough police representative to tell those gangs what it means to stop.

Even if the other party is Kingpin!

"Do you know who you are facing?" Fergus hung his arms and looked at the police in front of him with a sneer. It seems that he is not worried about his current experience at all. Fergus was the lucky guy who was shot in the shoulder socket. But compared to other survivors, he was not so lucky.

The bullet hit Fergus's shoulder joint. Although the bullet did not break, his bones were broken, which means that even if his shoulder is cured, he will be permanently disabled. His left arm will permanently lose 35% to 60% of its function. He can barely cope with daily life, but he can't do heavy work, let alone shoot.

Kai sat in the interrogation room, looking at him quietly, without saying a word. Kai handed the interrogation to Chap.

"Of course we know. You all went to the West Coast to party, how could we not investigate you and your boss behind you?" Chap is more like a gangster than him. He picked up the information on the table with a malicious look on his face.

To be honest, Chap was also shocked when he saw Kingpin's information for the first time.

This man, whose original name was Wilson Grant Fisk, is now regarded by most people as Kingpin's super boss. In recent years, his power has grown extremely fiercely, and his methods are superb. Neither the FBI, the DEA, nor the IRS can do anything to him. Kingpin hides himself very well and has been secretly manipulating the increasingly large criminal group under his command. His main territory is New York, but his power has been extending to the whole country.

So, he got the honorific title of Kingpin in the black gang! It means the overlord and the mastermind, not his last name Kingpin.

Chap threw the file on the table.

"Do you think we policemen are here to eat dry food? Look, we know your boss's background very well."

But Fergus smiled contemptuously.

"Do you think you really know what the name Kingpin means?"

He closed his eyes and stopped talking after he finished speaking. He is not stupid. Whether the police know Kingpin's details has nothing to do with him. Anyway, as long as he did not reveal it to the police, it's fine. Compared with betraying Kingpin, he would rather go to jail.

It's not that he is so loyal, he is just a killer, and talking about loyalty is ridiculous.

But he doesn't want to not even have the chance to go to jail.

"You should know that your crime alone is enough to put you in jail for hundreds of years even in California! But as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we can make a deal with you, change your identity, go to a place where no one knows you, and live a free life, isn't it good?"

This time the Los Angeles police were very generous and offered very generous conditions. Even a serious criminal like Fergus, they were willing to make a deal.

This is why Kai dislikes the American judicial system very much.

People who often watch American dramas will know a fact, that is, the American judicial system can make charges and bargains with criminals.

Charge bargaining refers to an agreement between prosecutors and criminal suspects in which the suspects voluntarily plead guilty in exchange for a lighter punishment. Speaking of this, we have to mention the Miranda Declaration, which is the famous sentence "You have the right to remain silent." If you don't remain silent, anything you say can be used as evidence in court. You have the right to have an attorney at your trial. If you cannot afford a lawyer, we can hire one for you. Do you fully understand your rights above? ’

That is, criminal suspects and defendants have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer when being interrogated.

If the police fail to give a Miranda warning when arresting a suspect, the suspect's confession will be considered an involuntary confession and cannot be used as evidence.

However, Miranda warnings will indeed lead to such a consequence: that is, the suspect remains silent from beginning to end, does not speak, and does not admit guilt.

Friends who often watch American TV series may have seen someone in court or facing interrogation frequently saying: "I take fifth", which means "I quoted the Fifth Amendment", which means "I remain silent" .

This is very passive.

So that led to the charge-bargaining.

In Kai's opinion, this is a very 'lazy' attitude. Charge trading can indeed save the police, prosecutors and courts a lot of time, improve efficiency and reduce judicial costs. But correspondingly, it will give many criminals the opportunity to escape legal punishment. The most typical example is to turn into a tainted witness in exchange for an acquittal.

Punish one criminal but let the other go.

Of course, there are different angles and different views on this matter. It's just that Kai personally doesn't like this kind of transaction.

But such a good condition only earned Fergus a contemptuous side glance.

For Fergus, fear of the Kingpin outweighed his desire for freedom.

Chap was very unhappy with this attitude and grabbed Fergus's injured shoulder.

"I think you need to think carefully about our proposal."

Unexpectedly, even though Fergus was sweating in pain, he still looked at Chap with a sneer.

"I have the right to remain silent. Go to hell, you bastard! Also, prepare your own coffins! Jin won't just let it go!"

As soon as Chap's expression changed, he wanted to use force on Fergus.

Kai stopped him.

"We are the police... we cannot torture to extract confessions." Kai said with a smile.

Chap glanced at Kai and put down his hand harshly. Chap knew what Kai meant. This incident had alarmed too many people. If he really tried to play those tricks, he would definitely be in trouble.

"But you really need to think about what my colleague is saying. It won't do you any harm to work with us."

Fergus shivered in pain, but he was very stubborn.

"Haha, I won't say anything even if I go to jail. If I go to jail, at least I can still be alive, but betray Kingpin?" Fergus shook his head. "I think prison is good."

"No, no, no, it's not good at all in jail." Kai shook his head and said, "As far as I know, there are a lot of scum among our Los Angeles police."

Fergus looked at Kai, wondering what he meant.

Kai ignored him and said to himself: "For example, our former head of the major crime team was a gangster and cooperated with the Los Angeles gangs, but he was killed by you. I think you should know that, right?"

Fergus looked at Kai coldly.

"Although he was killed, there are still some scum in the police department that have not been dug out. This is very bad." Kai looked at Fergus with a smile, and Fergus's face became paler and paler. "It seems you understand what I mean. Yes, the news of your arrest should spread. I received news that many people are waiting to get along well with you in prison. By the way, there is one more thing, you guys He will most likely serve his sentence in Los Angeles."

After saying that, Kai yawned.

"Come on Chap, let's have breakfast and then I need to get some sleep. I haven't slept for two nights in a row."

"Okay!" Chap looked at Fergus with a sneer, and then said with a very malicious smile: "Wash your ass, you bastard!"
