Chapter 48 Crisis
When the secret sentry in Yaden Village discovered several horses galloping in the wilderness in the distance, the village immediately made adjustments.
Take the casino as an example.
All the gamblers will be rushed to the basement as soon as possible. As for the gaming table gambling money, it is easier to handle. They can be lifted directly to the mezzanine using the lifting frame of the warehouse.
In less than ten minutes, the formerly bustling casino was completely cleared. The whole process went smoothly. It was obvious that this was definitely not the first time this was done.
But unlike in the past, it was so simple to deal with surprise inspections. Today, the patrols scattered in the alleys of Yaden Village did not hide. Instead, after receiving the news, they slowly approached the direction of the casino and gathered together.
The rest of the new law enforcement officers, like Milo, have never entered Arden Village. Only a few have heard of the existence of Arden Village, a lawless place.
When they stepped into Yaden Village, the gazes cast by the "villagers" in the village were full of indifference. Compared with the clear hostility that could be directly received, this kind of inexplicable and inexplicable The indifference can bring out the uneasiness deep in people's hearts.
Especially when everyone around you gives you this kind of attitude, it is very embarrassing.
……
"Don't worry about that. Find the crocodile and bring it back. It's as simple as that."
Old Xion is probably used to the atmosphere of Arden Village. He doesn't even need to know the way after entering the village, he can just go straight. Head towards the casino.
He never glanced at the people in Yaden Village from beginning to end.
If you observe Old Theon carefully, it is not difficult to find that most of his energy seems to be focused on the several new law enforcement officers around him.
He was observing them.
...
A group of law enforcement officers led by Old Xion kicked open the warehouse door and broke into the casino.
As expected, the casino was empty.
Old Xion moved his fingers, and the five people behind him quickly entered the casino to search. He himself stood there and lit a cigarette, and said calmly:
"Relax, Take your hand away from the handle of the gun and try to touch your safety slot, it will be funny if you end up with a hole in your leg.”
The newcomers were not fools either. They had already seen the figures in the surrounding lanes before entering the casino, and there was a high probability that these people had weapons in their hands. In such an obvious critical situation, the leader actually still Smoking leisurely.
Except for the sacks piled up in the four corners of the casino, the rest of the casino was empty. The law enforcement officers tried to enter the rooms on the west side, but each room was locked, and no one answered no matter how they called the door. .
“Where is your boss?”
A law enforcement officer shouted to the people outside the casino gate.
But the people around him didn't seem to hear his voice at all. They were smoking, dazed, and didn't react at all.
"You can't do this." Old Xion stood at the door and shook his head. He bit the cigarette in the corner of his mouth and waved to a law enforcement officer standing in the center of the casino: "You step back."
Then With a swish, he pulled out the flintlock musket from his waist and fired a shot diagonally upward.
Bang!
With a wisp of gunpowder smoke, the lead bullet accurately broke a rope of the lifting pulley in the sky.
Boom!
A gambling table that was tied and hung under the ceiling was smashed down from a height of eight meters and split into two parts in the center of the casino. Poker cards, cash and other gambling equipment scattered like fireworks and exploded everywhere.
Old Xion threw the still smoking pistol in his hand to the law enforcement officer aside: "Reload."
Then he ordered others: "Collect and organize the evidence on the ground "For a moment."
...
After he made such a fuss, the people who were originally scattered around the casino gathered together in an instant.
The law enforcement officer who was standing at the door asking questions just now was forced back into the casino by the dark crowd, and said hesitantly to Old Xion:
"Boss...Boss, they seem to be..."< br>
Old Xion glanced back slowly, and said in a calm tone:
"Why are you afraid?"
The posture outside the casino door is too good to say the least. Hundreds of people.
And this is only from the direction of the south gate. After the back door to the north is opened, there is also a dark crowd outside.
These people didn't say anything, they just stood upright with their hands hanging down and stared at the law enforcement officer inside the casino.
So there were obviously a lot of people at the crime scene, but it was not lively at all. Instead, it was frighteningly quiet.
"You three, move those sacks away, look for the entrance to the basement, and find Xiaomai and the target person for me."
Old Xion seemed not to see the front and back at all. The crowd outside the two gates calmly assigned tasks:
"You two are left staring at a door. Whoever comes in will be destroyed."
The law enforcement officer next to him helped old Xion reload the ammunition, handed the pistol back to him, and joined in carrying the sacks. team.
At this moment, an extremely sharp and crisp whistle suddenly sounded outside the casino.
Click! ! ! !
The moment the whistle sounded, hundreds of guns were fired directly at the scene, pointing directly at the six law enforcement officers in the casino.
"Don't be shameless, law enforcement officers!"
Someone yelled, followed by a series of gunshot sounds that echoed throughout the venue.
"Boss?"
The three people who were moving the sacks immediately stopped what they were doing, loaded their guns, and confronted the people outside the door.
“Don’t panic.” Old Xion frowned slightly as he saw the chaos among the people under his command, and only said with certainty: “Just keep doing things, they don’t dare.”
Having said that, several newcomers were just students in the academy last week. Even if they graduated from the law enforcement academy, it was the first time they faced such a posture. How could their calves not be hurt when being pointed at by hundreds of black holes? Shiver.
"I said, collect evidence, find Xiaomai and the crocodile, and then you can go back."
Old Xion repeated what he said. This time, his His tone was beginning to sound a bit obviously angry.
His eyes were on the newcomers from beginning to end, always paying attention to their movements.
……
However, the pressure did not stop outside the casino gate. A rough voice threatened the law enforcement officers:
"Unload all the knives and guns and get out of the warehouse, otherwise none of you will be able to get out of Yaden Village alive. We If we can deal with you completely, your people will not be able to find a single hair of yours even if they turn over Nanwei City tomorrow. This casino is beyond the reach of a few of you little law enforcement officers, so get out." In addition, I have already dealt with the boy you sent here, so there is no need to look for him anymore.”
…
“What!”
The newcomers at the scene were completely panicked.
You must know that Milo Ke was chatting and laughing with them more than half an hour ago, but now there is no one there. This is a severe blow to their psychological defense.
I broke out in a cold sweat.
"Boss? What to do?" Someone asked Old Theon for instructions.
Old Xion glanced at the other party impatiently: "You can't move, right? Then I'll do it myself."
He threw the half-smoked cigarette to the ground, crushed it, and walked alone toward the sack in the corner of the casino.
“Boss, let’s rush out first?”
The law enforcement officers blocking the entrance of the casino were a little overwhelmed as they watched the people outside pressing closer and closer.
"Back off! You can't understand what people are saying, so you have to back off!!" The other two law enforcement officers held a gun and faced off at the back door on the north side.
No matter how much they scolded them, the two pistols could not pose any real threat to the hundreds of guns, and the approaching armed men from outside did not stop.
"If you don't step back, I'll shoot!!!"
The law enforcement officer roared angrily.
It turns out it was someone outside who shot first!
Bang! !
The bullet did not hit anyone, but struck the ground of the casino, stirring up a cloud of dust.
And it was this shot that defeated the person with the weakest psychological defense in the team.
A newcomer standing in the center of the casino untied the weapon pouch on his waist, threw the pistol and blade on the ground, and raised his hands high:
“I surrender! Don't kill me...I surrender..."
He roared hysterically, his voice trembling, full of tears.
……
…
The atmosphere in the warehouse casino felt like it had dropped to freezing point.
Old Xion, who was about to move the sacks, sighed, straightened up with his hands on his knees, and looked at the newcomer in the team who had surrendered with great disappointment.
At the same time, not long after the man dropped his weapons and equipment, the armed men outside the casino dispersed without interest, as if nothing had happened.
This scene made the new law enforcement officers in the casino look confused.
"What's going on?"
"Boss? They seem to have all left?"
"Shall we go back now to bring in reinforcements?"
......
Several others were looking for Old Xion's meaning. Only the man who surrendered still kept his hands raised. At this time, his whole person seemed to have fallen into an icehouse, and his mind went blank.
fear? upset? remorse?
It is estimated that he himself cannot explain his feelings clearly at this moment.
The only thing that is certain is that his career as a law enforcement officer came to an end on the first day it began.
"Took off his badge and trench coat."
Old Theon put away his weapons and equipment, put on the hood of his trench coat, and lit a new cigarette. The flash in his eyes before The disappointed look on his face lasted only for a moment. He probably already knew the outcome of today and had no other unnecessary emotional fluctuations.
...
…
At this time, a strange scene appeared in the room on the west side of the casino.
Milo and the so-called target Crocodile each sat in a corner of the sofa with their legs crossed. The smiles on their faces looked like old acquaintances for many years.
The crocodile took a sip of red wine and asked Milo with a smile:
"I'm just asking, if I didn't tell the truth just now, were you really planning to cut off my fingers?"
Milo glanced at the cigar cutters he had been playing with for a long time, and nodded calmly. : "That's for sure. I treated this trip as a duty. Who would have thought that this was a law enforcement assessment? Hehe."
"You lied. You already knew it was before you jumped off the roof. What's going on?" The crocodile directly exposed Milo's lie and said with a smirk: "You are still pretending, you are really bad. I will tell you secretly that old Xion does this bad trick once a year. , and there is no standard at all, we must force one of them to collapse first. Last year at this time, we had already hung up several recruits and prepared them for meat.”
“It means they must be kicked. Are you satisfied with one or two new people?" Milo raised the corner of his mouth, thinking that Old Xion's methods were really ruthless.
"That's right." Crocodile smiled ferociously: "What I'm more curious about is, if your colleagues outside the door keep refusing to give in, what will you do?"
"I told you, this is a duty mission from my perspective, so I must put a gun on your head and take you back to the law enforcement station." Milo waved his hands repeatedly to show that he was very innocent.
"You kid is lying again. Knowing that this is a show, in order not to become the one to be eliminated, you will definitely kill me when necessary, in order to express your gratitude to you. The boss proves that you are a law enforcement officer, right? And you are indeed ready for this. I saw it clearly just now." The crocodile shook the wine glass at Milo.
Milo glanced at the blade that had been removed from the cigar cutter a long time ago and denied it:
"Are you gangsters good at thinking dark things about others? Oh, how can I get out of Yaden Village if I kill you? What are you thinking about?”
