Chapter 226 I don’t care if the NCPD doesn’t care
[David: Brother, the people have been received and are rushing to the location you gave us. 】
【Lille: Have you encountered any difficulties? 】
[David: There are some, but they have been settled. 】
[Lille: Well done. 】
Lille has now brought people to River's safe house, which is a small, unused shabby house on the edge of Santo Domingo.
After checking the surrounding environment and the network environment, Lille sent a message to River:
[Lille: Your place is not bad, when are you coming over? 】
[River: I found the policeman you mentioned and will be there soon. 】
[River: You are the first one to say that this place is good. NCPD has no funds. I paid for everything myself. Although it is ugly, it is definitely safe. 】
[Lille: I’m talking about safety. 】
Hongren from the Tiger Claw Gang was kneeling in the living room, with a bruised nose and swollen face, and his prosthetic body was still shaking due to malfunction.
Ivan sat upright on the sofa, even afraid to breathe.
V dug out a Rainbow Manticore from the refrigerator and threw it to Jack and then continued to rummage. Jack opened the can and began to hand out drinks, picked up the high-energy biscuits that Lille gave him and started chewing them.
Lil pointed out the Manticore to Ivan and took a can himself: "Drink and take a rest."
"Thank you." Ivan was really hungry. His leg had been chopped off, he had lost blood and hadn't eaten. He grabbed the things on the table and stuffed them into his stomach. He looked like a desert cook.
“Tell me what you do in the Kabuki District and how you got involved with the Tiger Claw Gang.”
“I’m from stall No. 13. I was originally a selling point, uh, normal super I have a certificate for Dream Equipment, which can be found at the municipal office. No."
"Okay, I don't care about this, what are you doing for the Tiger Claw Gang?"
"I" Ivan seemed to find it a bit difficult to say, "I will help them deliver the goods, and then Supply them.”
Lear raised his eyebrows: "Is it that way, if they don't tell you, you just pretend you don't know what they are doing?"
Ivan nodded silently.
"Then the policeman named Anna came to you?"
"Yes." Ivan nodded, "Brother, I really am not. Alas, the Tiger Claw Gang said that I am not If you do it, I will lose my job and make it impossible for me to work in Night City."
"Okay, don't explain, I don't want to hear this." Lear shook his head.
He has seen too many small characters like Ivan.
Then Lear looked at Hongren again: "What about you? Were you involved in kidnapping people on the street?"
As he said this, Lear removed the interference from his prosthetic body. , Hongren's body softened.
The prosthetic body just locked was forcibly hanging his broken biological organs. The pain, fatigue and stiffness made him unable to survive or die.
Although he is still a broken body now, he has at least regained some sense of relaxation.
If his tear ducts were still functioning, he could even shed a lot of tears - but unfortunately he had no tears anymore.
But before he could relax for a few moments, he found that he was locked again with his head on the ground.
That fear struck his brain.
V looked at Hongren who was struggling for life and death on the ground, and sighed: "Sometimes I think there is a reason for network supervision to strictly control hackers."
"It can be done. There are not many hackers of this level.”
"Yes, yes - you're awesome, Lear." V sat next to Lear and patted Lear's shoulder.
Lear ignored V and unlocked Hongren's prosthetic body: "Okay, tell me, you know what will happen if you don't tell the truth."
Hongren cried bitterly. Tears - no matter whether his body supports this operation or not, his mind wants to cry.
“I did it before, I helped the Tiger Claws transport dummies”
“What is a dummy?”
"The gangs call these dummies, I will say anything!"
"Then just say it"
Bang bang bang.
There was a knock on the door, and Lille raised his hand to signal a pause.
Ivan suddenly became nervous: “Who is it?”
"Our client."
Click.
The door opened and River entered, followed by a black female police officer, both wearing police uniforms -
Seeing them, Ivan jumped up suddenly - But because he has no legs, he can't jump very high.
He was shocked, scared and angry. He looked around, as if he was going to jump out of the window and run away in the next second!
But the Hong man on the ground seemed to be relieved.
"What the hell, why is this a piece of paper!" Ivan looked around, then collapsed with a pale face, "It's over."
Obviously, this female police officer is Anna Hamill, who caught him before and promised him that his safety would be guaranteed if he confessed.
Anna was furious: "You also know it's over?"
Ivan was even more furious: "You fucking asked me that?! Damn it, I believe you, just tell me I sold it?”
River walked up to the two of them and stretched out his arms to signal both parties to calm down.
"Wait a minute, tell me what happened, Anna. We found you and the messages he sent in Ivan's mailbox. Why didn't you protect your witness?" "My witness? Yes. , He offered something, but he is not worthy of my protection." Anna's expression was stern, "You don't know as much as I do. If you saw what I saw, you would be eager to do so. All participants die."
"That's not the point." River shook his head, "The point is that we are the police and you abandoned your witnesses."
" Haha." Anna still sounded cold, "I received a similar call to the police five days ago. This was a communication between the victim and her mother before she disappeared."
As she spoke, she took out a chip and inserted it into the player on the table.
[Tracy Owens: Mom, save me]
[Tracy Owens: I might have been kidnapped]
[Tracy ·Owens: Mom, please help me]
[Ana Owens: What? ! Tracy baby, where are you? ! 】
[Tracy Owens: I don’t know]
[Ana Owens: Where were you when they took you away? ]
[Ana Owens: Whatever comes to mind, Tracey, tell me]
[Tracy Owens: I’m having a party at Rachel’s house]
[Tracy Owens: I didn’t remember it afterwards]
[Tracy Owens: I thought I was on a boat]
[Ana Owens: I called the police Tracy. They are looking for you. I love you! ! ! 】
Playing ends.
Anna's face became more and more angry: "Do you know how many calls like this I received?! It's because of these bastards!"
Ivan curled up on the sofa, holding his head in pain Said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really am."
"What's the use of being sorry? It's because of you Black Mewtwo's industrial chain, these damn things."
"Then what the hell do you think I should do!" Ivan's face was even more serious. The ferocious, "Fuck you NCPD, where were you when the Tiger Claw Gang was collecting protection fees in the market and threatening citizens?
Why didn't you ignore them when they were arrogantly racing on the streets? They were kidnapping people. Time."
Not to be outdone, the two competed against each other, with River sandwiched in the middle -
But in terms of the degree of madness, it was obvious that Ivan was closer to collapse, and he almost burst into laughter Roaring: "Did you know that when the Tiger Claw Gang arrested people, your car was right next to it!
You know those people who are threatened, when they call the police, the police officer is watching right next to them!
I say I believe in the NCPD. The NCPD is the city’s last protective wall. But what’s the result?
I believe your father is just a fool! Now it's not just me, my sister is dying too!
Do you want to know everything? Okay, now go catch your good colleague! ”
The expressions of the rest of the people in the room, including Old Han outside the room, all changed slightly:
It turns out that calling the police is useless because the police are watching. Now it’s complicated.
This time the room was silent, except for Ivan's heavy breathing.
Anna still stared, but it was obvious that she was a little less confident.
The rumble of the engine came from outside the window.
Liel intervened in the quarrel and patted Ivan on the shoulder, which took away the boy's anger.
"Why don't you believe me? I told you that I have little to do with the NCPD. I'm just an outsourcer at most. The police don't care, I do. Let's see who comes."
".Ivan?"< br>
Martha hurriedly walked in and saw Ivan, who had lost both legs and had dull eyes. She strode over and hugged her idiot brother tightly.
"Martha, you are not in trouble, are you?"
"The Tiger Claw gang wanted to arrest me, but the mercenaries you found settled the problem. I didn't even know you And there are friends like this.
It seems like you haven't been wandering around in vain on the street. "
Ivan burst into tears and burst into tears.
"Sister, I have lied to you before. I am just a fool who was helped by Tiger Claw."
“Just live, just live. "
David held his waist and walked to the door with Lucy's support. He gave Lear a thumbs up and a somewhat forced smile on his face:
[David: Brother, I did a pretty good job, right? 】
[Lille: Well done, the deal is closed. 】
After finishing speaking, Lille sent another message to V:
[Lille: Come and pay the commission fee of 20,000 euros. They did a good job on this order. Give them some extra. 】
[V: Tsk. 】
[V: This bill is not your responsibility, I’ll pay it. 】
[Lille: Then give them 30,000. Maybe they will be needed later, so just treat it as an investment. 】
V rolled his eyes.
Including Ivan's own deposit, the amount paid by Lille for this order was even several times the price given by the client.
But no one feels bad.
