Chapter 153 Leonardo Being Targeted Again (8000 words)
Mao Xiong's house.

General Bykov, who was in charge of the experimental project of strengthening fighters, immediately drove to the safety committee after getting off the plane. Many members of the safety committee were waiting for his arrival.

Among them is the Supreme Leader.

Compared with the past, General Bykov is standing upright, because the experimental project of strengthening fighters has made a breakthrough!
First, I made a separate report to the leader, and then came to the safety committee meeting room, and let people play the latest video of strengthening fighter experiments.

Cooperating with the video recording, General Bykov was elated today, and explained: "This is a nano-enhanced medicine that has been improved three times. In the latest experiment, the person who injected the medicine only needed 10 minutes to see the effect. The strengthened warrior's strength , speed, stamina, and combat resistance have been greatly improved, and within three days, they can reach the first-level intermediate level of the soldier system."

His voice suddenly rose: "The most important point is that nano-enhanced potions can be mass-produced! Enhanced fighters can be mass-produced!"

The members of the safety committee, who were also thoughtful figures from various departments, couldn't help but whisper a few words.

The first-order private soldiers need outstandingly talented fighters, who have undergone extremely strict and arduous study and training, and can only be achieved in actual combat.

This kind of strengthening potion can mass-produce first-order private soldiers in a short period of time!
Bekov continued to cooperate with the video and said: "They have excellent recovery ability. When the position other than the heart and head is severely injured, they will not lose combat effectiveness in a short period of time. They can even use muscle healing to squeeze out warheads and recover quickly!"

"In addition, the nanoworms in the potion can release bioelectric energy when they are active, which will affect their thinking, ensure their loyalty, and let them execute orders perfectly!"

This is the soldier every commander wants.

The pressure from NATO is increasing, Ukraine is moving closer to the West, and the Black Sea has been a dream for hundreds of years. The rabbits who are allies in the south have been jumping faster and faster in recent years, and have to guard against...

All these require loyal and elite soldiers!

"A few questions." A general with a general star asked.

Bykov said, "Please tell me."

The general asked, "How much does the medicine cost?"

Bekov said directly: "Although some materials are relatively rare, the actual cost is far less than normal training."

Another person asked: "General, when will mass production be possible?"

Bekov replied: "Mass production requires a lot of raw materials. The Arabian ghoul powder requires us to send elite personnel to the Middle East to collect or hunt. Other raw materials can be found in Russia."

"Arab ghouls are easy to find?" asked the Supreme Leader.

Vladimir, the deputy director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, took the initiative to answer: "In recent years, it has appeared in some relics in the deserts of the Middle East."

The Supreme Leader made a final decision: "The Foreign Intelligence Service is in charge."

"Yes." Vladimir replied, and then asked Bykov: "General, in the past, soldiers produced by drugs always had various side effects. Didn't this time?"

The supreme leader has established absolute authority, and Bykov dare not lie: "The thinking is rigid, lacking the ability to be autonomous, and can only follow orders."

The general before said: "This is not entirely a defect. Another way of understanding it is also an advantage."

Many soldiers with general stars were nodding their heads. As soon as the order was issued, the soldiers rushed upwards without fear of death and artillery fire.

Especially the extremely brutal street fighting in Checheng, even the strong-willed Russian army couldn't stand it.

Vladimir didn't ask any more questions. After the meeting was over, he exchanged a few words with Bykov about the Arab ghouls, went out, got in the car, and left the Kremlin.

When he returned to the Foreign Intelligence Service, he immediately set about arranging work, and the Supreme Leader personally attended the project, so he couldn't help being sloppy.

After finishing these tasks, Vladimir got off work and headed to the North District with only the driver and personal guards.

On the way, I made a phone call: "Maria, I have something important to go to you."

Maria was his mistress, and it was almost a semi-public affair for those who sat in high positions, and it had never been a problem.

But Maria was more than just Vladimir's mistress.

She approached Vladimir and successfully pulled Vladimir into a pool of muddy water, which put him in constant contact with the CIA.

In the detached villa, Maria hung up the phone, did not look at the muzzle of the gun on her forehead, tried her best to maintain calm, and looked at the masked person in the center of the house.

This person is obviously the leader and a woman.

"I did." Maria said, "Everything here belongs to you, please let me go, I will disappear automatically and never appear again."

It was Ilsa who was wearing a mask, and she told her men: "Take her away, to Ukraine."

Three people escorted Maria away.

Ilsa ordered to the five people left behind: "The target is coming soon, prepare."

Several people quickly cleaned up all kinds of traces and hid them.

Ilsa has won the trust of Solomon Ryan in several actions, and she is already the second person in Syndicate.

Hide in the hiding place and quietly observe the movement outside.

Capture Vladimir, get back $8000 million, and the Syndicate will instantly become a massive organization!

Ilsa herself didn't waver, but she was also a little troubled. The undercover agent was too successful, and if the higher-ups didn't transfer her back, if something happened to Ryan, she would be the leader of the Syndicate!

If so, what should I do?
A car was parked outside, the guard came down and opened the door, and Vladimir emerged.

Confirm the target is correct.

When the guard opened the door and entered the living room, he immediately smelled something strange, drew his gun, and wanted to remind him.

Ilsa rushed out from the corner corridor, her long legs slammed on the floor, she flew out, her left leg was pulled out like a long whip, and was drawn on the arm of the guard who was drawing his gun!
The guard gun fell to the ground, her body tilted to one side, and she cried out in pain. The strength in this woman's legs is astonishing!

Before he fell down, Ilsa followed closely, her knees clamped around the man's neck, and she twisted hard.

With a click, the guard's neck was broken!

At the same time, the three subordinates easily restrained Vladimir, a bureaucrat with little combat effectiveness.

The other two took control of the driver.

Ilsa asked her subordinates to bring the guard's body, picked up the pistol on the ground, and ordered: "Retreat!"

The action is clean and tidy, without sloppy.

…………

Los Angeles, apartment near Santa Monica University.

When it was dark, when Ronan came back from the detective office, he found that the cordon on the opposite door had been withdrawn. The case of Professor Modi was destined to become an unsolved case.

My personal cell phone rings with a text message.

Ronan took it out to take a look. Ilsa sent a message, saying that she personally captured Vladimir, and it is very likely that she will get the CIA's lost $8000 million in funding.

Today, Ilsa is the number two member of the Syndicate, leading the team to capture key figures from Moscow, and her prestige will inevitably increase.

Ronan replied a message, but Ilsa did not reply because of something.

After unpacking the packed pizza and taking out Jess' Nevada roast beef, Ronan turned on the TV, watched the news and ate dinner.

Thinking about Ilsa, Ronan suddenly thought of the Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs".

It's just gangsters who fight on the small side.

Syndicate is an international organization, and Ilsa, an undercover agent, seems to be number two.

It sounds a little funny, but it's actually very dangerous.

Ronan had a bad feeling, how did the British side finally characterize Ilsa?

Undercover?Number two in the Syndicate!

Ronan sent another message to Ilsa, and suddenly there was light flickering outside the window, but it was fireworks blooming.

During the whole point of news, the TV station also broadcast the grand scene of fireworks in Washington.

Ronan just remembered that today is July 7th.

It's a pity that I have been busy dealing with matters related to the Mossad Dagger Team and the Parchment recently, so I didn't find a suitable opportunity to set off an extra-large firework at this special time.

Fireworks took off one after another outside the window, illuminating half of the sky.

However, Ronan was attracted by the TV news footage, which was an Independence Day celebration held on the lawn in front of the White House, where politicians, celebrities and media reporters gathered.

And the camera gave a close-up of a bald eagle!

The bald eagle in the TV screen, by Ronan's visual inspection, is more than one meter long and has a wingspan of more than two meters!

The bald eagle, the national bird of the United States, is the main part of the national emblem of the United States!
Ilsa said about the bald eagle.

One of the raw materials for promoting the soul of the predator, the eyes of the Bald Eagle King!

Maybe because of the TV screen, the bald eagle didn't evoke Ronan's special feeling.

Is the bald eagle king related to the bald eagle?

Ronan wasn't completely sure, but this bald eagle was unusually handsome, obviously not an ordinary bird.

Around the bald eagle, there were at least a dozen black suits standing.

Probably a Secret Service agent.

U.S. officials apparently knew the bird was unusual.

After the news ended, the TV screen switched to the studio, where the two hosts teased the president with bald eagles.

It is said that the protection of the national bird is stricter than the protection of the president.

After all, this bald eagle has lived for decades, and the president can change it every four years.

After reading the news, Ronan specially turned on the computer and looked it up online. In the Internet age, hot news can quickly become the focus of online discussions.

Sure enough, many netizens were discussing the bald eagle.

For example, someone introduced the origin of this bald eagle, saying that it is a direct descendant of a meritorious bald eagle during the Revolutionary War.

It is said that a bald eagle was raised by an officer during the War of Independence, and later in the war, this eagle made considerable military exploits and was regarded as a legend by American soldiers.

Since then, the influence of the bald eagle has grown, until it spread to the entire army!

As a result, the bald eagle with its claws holding a sharp arrow has become a symbol of the US military, and its influence among the people is also unprecedented.

By the time of the Second Continental Congress, the bald eagle was chosen as the primary image of the United States coat of arms.

But where the bald eagles are kept and who is in charge, they can't find out.

It has been introduced that bald eagles usually appear in the white room during celebrations such as President's Day and Independence Day in the United States, or when major foreign affairs visit.

Ronan immediately came up with an idea, waiting for a certain large-scale event, sneaking or rushing into the white room, hunting the bald eagle, and then escaped victoriously.

It seems difficult to do it alone.

It was Washington after all.

This kind of thing depends not only on planning, but also on timing.

The Americans celebrate Independence Day, and Ronan can't let the FBI, which is chasing the nail geek, be idle. He pretends to dispatch again in the middle of the night and kills a drug gang in Glendale.

Drug dealers in Los Angeles are so easy to find.

…………

On the morning of July [-]th, a brand new film production company was officially listed on South Broad Street in Burbank.

In Los Angeles, the largest film production center in the world, film and television companies are established every day, and some film and television companies go bankrupt.

The newly established Quinn Film Production Company is not small in scale and has rented an entire four-story office building facing the street.

On the top floor, the president's office, Jess was sitting behind the desk in a beige lady's suit.

"Head, I'm ready." A white woman wearing glasses respectfully said.

Jess reminded: "Eva, I will be called the president in the future, the details determine success or failure!"

Jess who faced Ronan, and Jess other than that, seemed to be two completely different people.

Eva responded, and continued: "Today's recruitment and media interviews..."

Jess said directly: "It's all up to you! The recruitment is just a formality, and the applicants are all from our own people. They have their own strengths, and they will temporarily fill the positions."

Eva stood out from those people, and naturally knew that her former companions were all talents, for example, some were good at stealing, some were good at causing accidents, and some were good at deceiving.

As of today, they are officially off the streets and have established a company!
"Okay, I will do it well." Eva is very confident now, and at the same time reminded Jess: "We only have 200 million US dollars in start-up capital, and leasing an office building is expensive, so we must act as soon as possible."

Before Jess came to Los Angeles, she was studying Hollywood, especially film operations, and was preparing for promotion. After all, the friendship between Europe and Leonardo gave her a natural advantage: "I have already determined several goals. As long as we choose the project, we will get It's not hard to get them down."

"You need to build credibility first," says Eva.

Jess suddenly laughed: "How do you think the film project that Leonardo participated in is credible?"

Eva immediately replied: "Leonardo is a Hollywood superstar, he is a famous brand, but can we invite him?"

Jess said, "I have a way."

Eva stopped asking: "Is this how I operate?"

"Okay." Jess said again: "Find a script and buy it. Don't be afraid to spend money. First, create momentum in the media, and then invite a few famous directors. I will handle Leonardo."

Eva leaves, and Jess is going to call Leonardo to meet him.

Just picked up the microphone, I feel that I need to tell that person first, so that he won't misunderstand after knowing.

Unconsciously going to press the number, Jess snapped off the phone, scratched her blond hair vigorously, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed into pimples: "Why do I have such thoughts?"

"He beat me against the wall, put a gun on me, treated me fiercely, and turned his face at every turn. Why should I consider his feelings?"

"what--"

Jess let out a strange cry, and pounded her fists on the desk: "I don't have Stockholm Syndrome!"

Because too much force was used, the table top of the mahogany desk was cracked!
"Uh, I see. He gave me benefits and made me stronger." Jess instantly found an excuse and reason: "He is actually very nice..."

There was a knock on the door, and a secretary in a lady's dress came in, looked at the table, and asked, "President?"

Jess ordered: "Change to a new table in the afternoon."

"Yes!" The secretary has something else to do: "Hall is here."

Jess nodded: "Let him come over."

A middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance entered the office and sat on a chair: "Boss, the DP company's Clive you mentioned, after careful inquiries these days, I asked a lot about it."

Jess said naturally: "You sort out a written material for me."

The middle-aged uncle was embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "Head, I can't write it."

Jess brought a pen and paper: "You tell me to write."

The middle-aged uncle described it carefully.

After he finished speaking, Jess also finished writing, checked it roughly, and asked a few more questions about the key points, and finally asked: "Where is the Watts block?"

The middle-aged uncle said: "It's completely dominated by black people over there. After the death of the old boss Dominique Toretto, there was a new boss there who continued to focus on drug trafficking. People there generally believed in voodoo. But no weird people or events have been heard."

These are all the news Ronan wants, and Jess dare not be careless: "Keep watching the San Fernando Valley and the Watts neighborhood, and pay attention to safety."

I remember Ronan said that Kraven might be a vampire.

Jess checked the contents of the record again, dialed Ronan's number, and unconsciously imitated Ronan's tone: "It's me. Oh, this is my office phone number. I just established a company. Yes, there is something wrong." Something to do! My people have collected some information about Kraven, when will I give it to you? See you at the old place at noon? Okay."

After leaving Quinn's Company, Jess returned to Old China Town, took advantage of the time before noon, went into the basement, brought some food and beverages for Giselle, and brainwashed Giselle with extraordinary persuasion.

It was a difficult time, and Jess was very patient considering the possible revenge from the Mossad.

Before noon, I came to the second floor, and in the room facing the street on the second floor, I don't know when there was an extra person.

Jess handed the handwritten information to Ronan: "This is from Kraven. I didn't get much useful information on the Watts block. There is a new boss there, and they are still selling drugs. The main beliefs of the residents in the block are Voodoo, the weirdness has not been discovered yet."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Let your people keep watching, and be careful not to expose it."

When I came to Los Angeles this time, there were still two real clues that I didn’t find. One was the voodoo religion, and the other was the Loom of Destiny.

The latter seems to be unable to track from time to time, after all, no killer has appeared for a long time.

As for the treasure of the Akasha family, it might be able to open a gap from Kraven.

Ronan looked at the information collected by Jess in detail. Kleven was one of the earliest practitioners in the San Fernando Valley. He was not only a director and producer, but also a boss and investor. He originally had many companies under his control. After entering the new century, they integrated Became the current DP company.

This is one of the top companies in the San Fernando Valley.

Kraven spends most of his time working hard to run the company. It is said that his net worth is quite rich, and he lives in a luxurious manor with a huge area under the Lukenji Mountain in the east of San Fernando.

Similar to the one in "Playboy", all the people who enter and leave the manor are handsome men and beautiful women.

If Kraven is a vampire, all this is easy to explain.

As far as the vampires Ronan met, the average appearance of these monsters was definitely above that of ordinary people.

The manor may be the lair of monsters.

Ronan continued to see that Kraven was involved with the government and sponsored the election of many politicians in the Los Angeles area.

Political and business collusion is normal.

Kraven was like many successful businessmen.

For example, he and the cast and crew of DP Company are enthusiastic about charity, funded several children's welfare homes, and visit the welfare homes with local politicians every once in a while.

According to the information Jess inquired, the most frequent place they went was a church orphanage called St. Nicholas Orphanage!

Ronan felt very strange, the vampire he suspected went to the church welfare home to do charity?
Is it wrong?
No, this strangeness is not only because of these.

Ronan thought for a moment, read it again, and immediately realized that the name of St. Nicholas Orphanage had been mentioned before!
Just recently.

Recalling a little, Ronan remembered that the client introduced by Professor Modi, Mary, a cleaner from Santa Monica University, said when she wanted to entrust him that her niece died abnormally in the St. Nicholas Orphanage!
Of course, this is what Mary herself said, and the official autopsy report showed that she died of myocardial infarction!
Ronan looked back and saw that Kraven often accompanied local dignitaries to visit the St. Nicholas Orphanage, and the official autopsy report...

Is there a connection between the two?

Churches, local dignitaries, possible vampires.

After Ronan finished reading the information, he rubbed it into scraps of paper in his hands, in case it was accidentally lost and Jess's handwriting was recognized by others.

Jess asked cautiously, "Is it useful?"

Ronan casually replied, "Good job!"

Jess was elated: "I wish I could help you, I wish I could help you..."

Ronan is more particular about his work: "Quote a price."

"No need..." Jess subconsciously didn't want the money, and regretted it after she finished speaking, but she didn't dare to change what she said, so she quickly changed the way: "Shall I deduct from your return on investment?"

Ronan nodded: "Yes." He remembered what Jess said on the phone and asked, "Have you started a company?"

Jess said simply: "A film production company, I'm going to have a film project."

Ronan was surprised: "You know how to make movies?"

Jess shook her head: "I don't understand, it's mainly for promotion. This requires a large-scale fraud. The more attention it receives, the higher the chance of successful promotion, and the greater the promotion after promotion. Hollywood is the focus of entertainment. Ordinary people pay attention to entertainment after dinner. There's more news than politics and social current affairs news, and I'm going to have a big..."

Seeing that Ronan was interested, she continued: "I want to persuade Leonardo to act, and use his appeal to finance the project."

Ronan remembered the Hollywood superstar he had dealt with: "Are you sure?"

Jess took a sneak peek and said tentatively: "In Corsica, my people took a lot of pictures of him. Last time I used one of the videos to let him inquire about Harvey Weinstein's itinerary."

Seeing that Ronan didn't mean to blame her, she said, "I'm going to talk to him. With the things I photographed, plus my ability, it's very possible to persuade him."

"Okay." Ronan didn't say any more, "I'm leaving."

Jess watched Ronan jump out of the window, dodge and disappear into the streets and alleys.

Ronan came to the safe house, restored Matthew's disguise, returned to the detective office, found Mary's contact information, and called her.

This matter needs to be discussed with Mary again for more details.

Not long after, Mary brought people over and brought another middle-aged woman.

Mary's hair was disheveled, her eye sockets were darkened, her face was dry, and she probably hadn't rested well for a long time.

As soon as he sat down, he took out money from his bag: "Detective Matthew, I have collected some more money. I sold the car and the wedding ring. This is $5000. Please help me."

Ronan didn't answer for the time being, but looked at another middle-aged woman.

Only then did Mary wake up, and introduced: "This is Christine. She used to be a teacher at Santa Monica Middle School. We met on the Internet. Some of her students have disappeared."

Similar encounters brought them together.

Christine took out a portfolio and handed it to Ronan: "Detective Matthew, please help us!"

Ronan opened the file bag, and there were some photocopied materials in it, including photos. In the photos, there was a boy in his early teens. The first few photos showed a boy with a bright smile, but the last few photos turned into a cold corpse!
Christine said: "His name is Jimmy. He used to be one of my students. Later, the family changed. All relatives died in an accident. The only uncle sent him to the St. Nicholas Orphanage. I visited him several times. , but suddenly got news half a year ago that Jimmy died."

Ronan had been looking at the photos of the corpse.

Christine pointed to the photos: "I spent a lot of money to buy these from the coroner's assistant. Their autopsy report said that Jimmy was killed by a mad dog. This is ridiculous!"

In the photo, there are clear bite marks on the carotid artery of Jimmy's neck, which looks like it was left by canine teeth.

But Ronan had seen similar wounds in Romania. It wasn't an animal bite at all, but a vampire's bite when it sucked blood!
Christine said again: "I don't believe what they say, and I want to seek justice for Jimmy, but they...they slandered me, saying that I seduced Jimmy to do that kind of thing, and even made perjury. Not only did I lose my job, I once Those accused by public opinion wanted to commit suicide, but they didn't die."

There were knife wounds on her wrist.

Ronan asked softly: "Did you seek help from the media or other forces?"

"It's useless." Christine smiled wryly: "I'm a rotten person who seduces children in their eyes, and no one believes me."

If the photo is true and Christine is not lying, there must be a connection between the St. Nicholas Orphanage and vampires. Ronan thought of Kraven who often accompanied dignitaries to the Orphanage, and could even confirm the identity of this person as a vampire.

Christine took out a stack of dollars from her bag and placed them on Ronan's desk: "Detective, help us?"

Ronan glanced at Qian: "Why me?"

Christine's voice was hoarse: "No one believes me, no one wants to help me."

The haggard Mary continued: "Professor Moody said, Detective Matthew, you are a good man."

This sudden good person card, or a good person card issued by a dead person, caught Ronan off guard: Am I really a good person?

Mary said, "Please! We just want one truth!"

Ronan didn't touch the money. With his style, he would definitely do something after receiving the money.

But he may not necessarily find out, because finding out requires evidence to prove it.

If the vampire did it, Ronan would not wait to collect evidence before going through normal media exposure or judicial procedures.

It's too troublesome, too cumbersome, and completely uncontrollable.

Ronan thought for a while and said, "I will investigate this matter, and I will not accept the money. It is more difficult for you, so take it back."

Not that he was sympathetic, but the combined total of the two was $8000.

Nail Stranger looted gangsters casually, and the money he got was ten times or twenty times.

Christine asked, "Need to sign a power of attorney?"

Ronan shook his head: "No, I will check."

It was not easy to meet a person who was willing to trust them and take the case. Mary and Christine took back the money and, under Ronan's question, explained some more specific situations.

But there is very little useful information. The St. Nicholas Orphanage is not very open to the public, and most people don't know about it at all.

In a country like the United States, which is generally religious, the church is so powerful that it is far from being able to resist by ordinary people.

After sending the two women away, Ronan continued to check the information of the two orphans who died abnormally, thinking about how to proceed.

According to the thinking of a normal detective, it must be to investigate the relevant personnel and look for evidence.

If it is really related to vampires, these two orphans are definitely not the only ones who died!
Human blood is food for vampires!

But Ronan is not a normal detective, and he has no patience to collect evidence.

So, after thinking about it, the starting point is still on Kleven.

Isn't it clear to catch this vampire?
He's not a policeman, not a prosecutor, so what does he need evidence for?
The only concern is that Kraven obviously has a high status among the group of vampires in Los Angeles. How strong is he?

If you can't catch a vampire and become a vampire's food, that's ridiculous.

Rumor has it that garlic, silverware and holy water are very restrained vampires.

Ronan felt that it was necessary to find some weapons that could truly restrain vampires. Although 107 grenades and bazookas were very effective, the Vest was completely useless when used.

It's even easy for people to connect with Ronan himself.

I don't know if there are vampire hunters in this world. I checked the Internet, but I didn't find any vampire hunters, but I saw a lot of ghosts haunting them.

A good person should not be a monster?

Ronan thought about it for a while, and remembered Father Thomas who exorcised demons together in the Mexicali Bar.

This is a member of the church, but it is obviously a low-level member of the church, who has mixed up to sell church souvenirs.

Last time I went there, I saw him selling holy water.

Ronan decided to disguise himself as a tourist, buy some holy water, and at the same time ask Father Thomas if he knew a way to restrain vampires.

After all, it's possible you're dealing with a pack of vampires.

On the road to Nevada last time, the memory information of the two low-level vampires showed that among the group of vampires in Los Angeles, there was a team called Nightcrawlers, which was in charge of fighting.

Take on the nemesis, the werewolves, and clear out the enemies that threaten them!
Ronan carefully recalled that the leader of the Nightcrawler was a pale, slender and tall female vampire with ice-blue eyes.

In case of encounter, he will definitely recognize it.

Leaving the detective agency, going to the safe house, changing into a Murphy vest, Ronan drove to Wilshire Church.
