When in Los Angeles, Kai once caught a group of Irish gangs developing in Los Angeles. This gang ran to Los Angeles because of Frank's rampage. Their boss was caught by Kai and thrown into prison. He once mentioned the name "Blacksmith" to Kai. At that time, Kai paid attention to this blacksmith. This guy also had a sales network in Los Angeles. But this guy was too mysterious, so Kai didn't catch his tail.
Unexpectedly, Kai came to New York and heard his name again. What a coincidence.
At the same time, Kai didn't think it was a coincidence.
This can only explain one problem, that is, this blacksmith has a super drug network covering the whole United States. Of course, the facts may not be so exaggerated, but there is no doubt that New York and Los Angeles have this guy's next home.
This can't be underestimated. The United States is the world's largest drug consumer, and New York and Los Angeles are also the two cities with the most drug sales in the United States. Being able to have its own sales network in these two cities is enough to show the strength of this blacksmith.
The only thing that makes Kai feel strange is that there is so little information about this blacksmith.
In this world, it is very difficult for drug lords to hide their identities. Basically, the famous drug lords in this world have detailed records in the US government. For those who do this business, as long as they become big, it is almost impossible to really hide.
But this blacksmith is an exception. Kai entered the FBI database through his connections and found that there was no information about this blacksmith in it.
It's too mysterious.
However, it's not completely clueless, that is Frank.
Originally, the blacksmith and Frank seemed to have nothing to connect, but the last time Frank was arrested in the park, it was precisely the news revealed by this big drug lord.
This is very interesting.
Frank's fight against crime may affect the blacksmith's business. But with the blacksmith's mystery, he seems to have no reason to deliberately expose himself for Frank. This guy rarely contacts his next buyer except for shipping.
But for Frank, he actually made an exception and contacted the Irish.
This is very abnormal.
Or, what reason does he have to kill Frank?
Has a grudge against Frank?
It shouldn't be.
Frank's experience is complicated, quite complicated. After all, he often performs some secret missions. But if it is simple, it is also very simple. He has been in the army for most of his life, and his interpersonal relationships are simple. Even if there are enemies, it is because of the mission. But if this is true, how did his enemies know Frank's information?
Frank performs secret missions. Even if he retires, the confidentiality level of his identity information is still very high. If this can be leaked, the military's confidentiality ability is basically hopeless.
Then the identity of the blacksmith is a bit interesting.
Kai thought of this, took out a piece of paper, listed all the doubts on it, and then eliminated Frank's interpersonal relationships, hoping to get some inspiration from it.
But after an afternoon of messy drawings on the paper, nothing was found. →
Because Kai always lacks a decisive factor, that is, motive.
What is the motive of the blacksmith to kill Frank?
And he also wants to kill Frank's whole family... How small can this motive be?
In short, there is always a layer in between, which makes Kai puzzled.
…
Just when Kai was worried, Samantha also started to act.
“This is different from what we agreed on! You can’t ignore the safety of my client! You want to kill him!” Fergie shouted at Samantha emotionally.
Because just now, he learned that Samantha asked Grote to be bait to lure out a man named Edgar Blass, who is an important leader of the Mexican cartel. The so-called cartel, in economics, is a union formed by various independent production, supply and marketing enterprises in the industry, with the intention of strangling competitors and binding product prices. In the drug industry, it refers to a union formed by underworld bosses in the Latin American drug industry who each have their own territory and expertise, and the purpose is also to bargain and suppress opponents.
The grassroots of the drug "cartel" are gangs, but they are more powerful than gangs; their business is to do business, but the power they exercise and the areas they dominate are far more than underground business; they often appear in the news because of burning and killing, but compared with gang fights, the atrocities of the "cartel" are more like rebellion and civil war.
In short, they are extremely dangerous people.
Of course, Fergie couldn't let his client take such a big risk. You know, even if this dangerous person is arrested, there are countless people who will avenge him. If Grotto wants to be safe, the best way is not to provoke such a person.
"Not everyone is qualified to enter the Federal Witness Protection Program. Grotto is just a small person. He must show his value, otherwise the government will not pay such a high price for a useless criminal. Or you can persuade your client to change a way to ensure safety."
"What method?"
"Plead guilty! Go to jail, and you don't have to worry about safety in jail. Of course, given the level of this guy's badness, at least 20 years." Samantha said fearlessly.
Although Grot is just a small figure, he has committed many crimes, including murder, arson, drug trafficking, robbery, assault on women, etc. He is definitely a standard scumbag. Twenty years is considered as a minimum sentence by Samantha. Anyway, as long as this thing goes to the jury, I believe that not many jurors will sympathize with him. On the contrary, most people will think that prison is his best destination.
"As long as Grotto agrees, I can cancel the action now!"
Grotto certainly doesn't want to, kidding, he doesn't want to go to jail. He would rather hide his name!
So he took a gamble!
So the plan was quickly launched, and its efficiency was so fast that Fergie was stunned. If the police were all this efficient... then New York's achievements would be saved.
It was this unparalleled efficiency that made Fergie feel very uneasy. He instinctively felt that Samantha seemed very anxious, and even had a desperate intention.
...
On the other side, Frank sat in front of an old police radio, listening to the police's communication on the radio.
Soon Frank tuned to a channel where the police were communicating.
And the content of the communication was Grotto!
Frank showed a contemptuous smile, and the police seemed to be deliberately leaking Grotto's location.
It seems that the police really intend to fish.
Kai also told him in advance not to care about Grotto.
But Frank felt... that was too boring.
Killing people does not need to be so troublesome.
Since the other party wants to fish, he should be prepared for the bait to be eaten!
Thinking of this, Frank packed up his things. Then he turned and left his safe house.
...
Matt is very anxious now. He must dare to rush to Grotto's location before the Punisher does anything. In order to get better conditions for Grotto and to better protect Grotto's safety, Matt and Fergie acted separately. Fergie followed Samantha, and Matt went to investigate the Mexican drug lord.
But Matt didn't care about the Mexican drug lord at all at this moment, because he found that they were all deceived!
When Matt was investigating the Mexican drug lord, he accidentally eavesdropped on the conversation between Samantha and the police!
He knew that Samantha was going to use Grotto as bait to lure the Punisher into the trap. Samantha had no intention of using Grotto to catch any Mexican drug lord! He had to save Grotto.
However, Matt hurried and finally arrived at the dock area.
But Matt used his super hearing to search the surroundings and found that the Punisher had not arrived.
On the contrary, the surroundings were full of police.
From the conversations of these people, Matt got feedback.
These are not ordinary police officers, but New York ESU (Tactical Operations Unit), that is, special police! Reyes, the local prosecutor, has great power. This arrest plan directly dispatched the strongest force of the NYPD.
Samantha was also waiting anxiously at the command center. The Punisher's failure to appear really disrupted her plan. Although her power is great, it is not so great that she can always let the ESU accompany her to make trouble. If the Punisher does not come, then she...
But she has no good way to deal with this, because whether the Punisher comes or not is the initiative of the other party.
Can she still control others?
Just as she was thinking about countermeasures, her assistant ran in.
"Here they come! Someone's coming!"
Samantha immediately cheered up: "Let the people below get ready immediately!"
As soon as the voice fell, a large truck rumbled into the dock area. The ESU members who were in ambush did not move, allowing the truck to break through the iron gate and rush into the dock area.
The ESU members were very excited. After all, they had been hiding for half the night and were almost asleep. It was finally time to get a job.
But only Daredevil Lawyer Ma found something wrong.
That's not the Punisher!
"Fuck! "At the same time, what's even more terrible is that Matt also heard the sound of motorcycles constantly surrounding the dock.
That's the Hellhound!
A gang born out of the biker gang. The biker gang is very common in the United States. These domineering bikers wear uniform motorcycle vests and swagger through the city accompanied by the three-beat horse hoof sound of the Harley engine. They pursue freedom, oppose mainstream culture, and are loyal to the organization. They are modern "Teutonic Knights". The unique style has a huge impact on subcultures such as punk, heavy metal, leather subculture and cybergoth, and has become an important representative of American subculture.
Of course, if it's just that, it's nothing. The United States is still very tolerant of this subculture. But the truth is not as simple as it is said above. Under the cover of the name of the motorcycle club Under the guise of a motorcycle club, those motorcycle gangs are actually highly organized and disciplined gangs and fraternities.
For example, Cerberus, under the cover of a motorcycle club, is actually a highly organized and disciplined gang and fraternity. Every member of Cerberus devotes his life, time and everything to the gang and the brothers. Once you join Cerberus, apart from the gang and the brothers, family, wife and children are no longer important. Cerberus' main income comes from arms trading, drug business and monopoly of pornographic entertainment venues (such as the strip clubs that are blooming everywhere in the United States). The pornography, gambling and drug industry has always been an industry that all gangs value very much. Why can Cerberus gain a foothold in these industries? Monopoly operation, high organization and discipline and ruthlessness are their magic weapons for success.
This gang constantly transports drugs across the United States through their members, and their methods are no worse than those of the Mexicans. These people even dare to fight directly with Mexicans at the US-Mexico border. And these people are often racists and even have *** tendencies. Very difficult to deal with.
These people are not afraid of the police!
If the police dare to attack them, these *** will definitely fight back!
Matt wanted to remind Fergie and Samantha.
But it was too late.
"That's a dangerous suspect, open fire, open fire directly." It was Samantha, she would not allow the Punisher to be tried alive. So when the truck rushed into the dock, she ordered to shoot!
Bang bang bang bang!
The police who were ambushing around heard the order and immediately ran out of their hiding place and shot at the truck.
Soon countless blood flowers burst out in the cab of the truck!
The driver was shot!
Then the truck lost control and crashed into a pile of containers.
The ESU members immediately came to the front of the truck cab with guns raised and opened the door. They found two white bald men sitting inside. They were wearing leather vests with a flaming bully dog head printed on them!
The ESU members were a little confused. Aren't they here to arrest the Punisher?
Could the Punisher also be a member of Hellhound?
At this time, the man sitting in the co-pilot suddenly spit out a few mouthfuls of blood. He was still conscious!
"You... these cops... all deserve to die!"
This guy was so fierce that he was in such a state, but he still trembled and raised his pistol in his hand and pointed it at the ESU members.
Without anyone's orders, these special police immediately raised their guns and shot.
So he was completely dead.
It was also at this time that a series of Harley engines roared, and a large group of Harley riders from Hellhound rushed in.
ESU was immediately confused.
Those Harley riders were also a little confused about the situation, but it didn't matter. They just saw the miserable state of their companions.
"Fuck! They killed Eric!!"
"Go to hell! Damn cops!!!"
This group of racists may not be as extreme as the KKK, but they are definitely not good-tempered. Look, these bastards don't care what the other party does at all, they just pull out their guns and shoot!
So there was a lot of gunfire, and people kept falling to the ground.
But the police are outnumbered.
This group of bikers dispatched two or three hundred people, and the police... only had a few dozen people. In this almost face-to-face situation, the more people have the advantage, and this group of bikers is well equipped. Many of them are semi-automatic.
Matt was stunned...
"How could this happen?"
"What do you think it should be like?" Suddenly a voice came from behind Matt.
Matt turned around immediately.
It was the Punisher.
"It's you!" Matt was just in shock and didn't notice Frank's approach at all. "Why did you do this? Do you know how many people will be killed?!!!"
Frank shrugged, not caring at all: "Can you blame me for this? According to you, I should have plunged into the trap and let them catch me? Also, if those policemen could follow the rules instead of shooting the hellhounds right away, things wouldn't have developed to this point. I just lured them here."
Matt would never listen to Frank's explanation. He only knew that many people would die today!
Matt bent over and slammed into Frank's body. Frank flew up and fell to the top of the container on the lower floor, making a loud bang. Matt jumped out and pounced. But Frank was not easy to mess with. He had no ill will towards Matt, otherwise he would not have been hit, but it did not mean that he would not fight back. Just when Matt was about to pounce on him, he kicked Matt in the abdomen and kicked him directly away.
Matt was also tough. If he was kicked away like this, ordinary people would have rolled on the ground holding their stomachs, but he endured the severe pain and immediately got up and rushed towards Frank.
Below, the gunfire and the gunfight between the hellhound and the police reached a fever pitch, and neither side thought of stopping.
Above, Frank and Matt were still fighting wildly.
Matt was flexible and skilled. Frank was extremely powerful and attacked fiercely.
For a while, it was hard to tell who was the best.
But Matt's incredibly sensitive hearing hurt him. The gunshots and screams below kept reminding him what was happening below, which distracted Matt unconsciously.
It was less than a second, but Frank still seized the opportunity!
He took out a stun gun and directly hit Matt's exposed chin... The rest of Matt's body was covered with armor. That thing was anti-electric.
"Uh uh uh..." Matt fell down with convulsions all over his body.
