Chapter 45 The Blind Cat Meets the Dead Mouse
The scene of stray bullets made Marco very excited!

Tao Xi also carried the camera in his hand with a happy face and kept recording the shooting scene of the surrounding marine police and the unexpected visitor. Occasionally, a stray bullet or two would graze the poor rubber paddle on the sea. on the boat.

"Taoxi, we have to get on the boat quickly!" Marco saw that there were more and more air leaks on the rubber kayak, and the pores of Marco's excited body instantly cooled down and said to Taoxi quickly.

Tao Xi looked around the rubber kayak and the water had begun to enter because it was almost out of gas.

Tausi first tied the camera to his shoulders with the jacket he took off, but instead Marko lowered his head and quickly rowed the rubber kayak that was about to capsize in the sea.

"Tao Xi! You go first, it's the vent we stole oil from before! The boats are all the same type!"

Tao Xi pushed Marco impatiently when he heard Marco's words: "Go up! Go up and pick me up!"

Marko saw that the speedboat had broken through the encirclement of the coast guard and was getting closer to the oil tanker docked at the port of Long Beach. Without hesitation, Marko directly pulled the anchor chain of the oil tanker towards it. climb up~
The iron chain tied to the anchor seemed to be not very easy to climb because of the cold weather at the beach, and Marco almost fell off several times.

"Marco, take off your shirt and tie it on your hands!" Tao Xi raised his head and shouted at Marko. When Marco heard Tao Xi say this, he quickly clamped the iron chain tightly with his legs and quickly put his shirt on. The jacket was torn in half and tied to the left and right hands respectively.

Tao Xi's suggestion was very useful, and Marco quickly climbed along the iron chain of the anchor to the vent where the anchor was suspended!

Tao Xi saw that Marco had successfully climbed up, and Tao Xi also jumped on the spot and climbed onto the iron chain. After Tao Xi grabbed the iron chain, the kayak that should have sunk in the sea long ago could only be seen A touch of orange.

Tao Xi, who caught the iron chain, also instantly noticed the difficulty of climbing the chain. The temperature of the sea surface continued to drop at night, and the iron chain had begun to freeze.

Climbing one meter and sliding half a meter is Tao Xi's state~
But because of the camera on his shoulders, Taoxi can’t hold the iron chain with his legs like Marco. The weight of his upper body and the slippage of the iron chain really can’t ensure that he is still on the iron chain!
"Tausi, I'll go down and help you!" Marco's voice was loud, but as soon as Marco's words fell, the speedboat that broke through the encirclement shot at Taoxi who was hanging in the air~
"whoosh"

"Whizzing"

"whoosh whoosh"

A series of bullets just passed through Tao Xi's side. Tao Xi first raised his head and shouted at Marko: "Go back! Marko, wait for me!" Then Tao Xi turned his head and tried to allow the camera to capture Details on that speedboat!

At this time, Superintendent Dennis Monzon, who was standing on the coast guard patrol boat, finally found Tao Xi who was trying to climb onto the tanker~
"Superintendent Dennis, you see that person seems to be a reporter, and he is carrying a video camera."

Dennis Monzon held up the binoculars in his hand and looked. A boy who didn't look very old was carrying a video camera on his shoulders. When the speedboat was shooting at him, he turned his head and looked at the speedboat. ~!

"Shit! These damn reporters really want money and life!" Dennis Monzon said with emotion, and then Dennis Monzon turned his head and picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "The Los Angeles Police Department and Is the helicopter in place?"

"Superintendent Dennis, everything is already in place. We have asked the Los Angeles Police Department for cooperation. A helicopter rescue will arrive in a short while. Rescuing the hostages must be the priority~"

Dennis Monzon hesitated for a long time before saying to the subordinates behind him: "Go and try to communicate with the headquarters to see if this case can be applied as a terrorist attack!"

Tao Xi was completely unaware of the changes in the coast guard, and the endless hail of bullets also stimulated Tao Xi's potential.

Finally, when Tao Xi was about to exhaust his strength, Marco hugged Tao Xi's head tightly and pushed him up, and Tao Xi, who was lying in the vent, kept panting heavily.

The draft inside the vent made Marco shiver constantly, but Marco didn't care about those at all but kept rubbing Tao Xi's limbs to try to relax him.

"I'm so tired! I don't think we were so tired the last time we climbed the anchor's chain!"

"The last time we had a clear sky, you were still going to Koreatown to fight all day long!"

Marko's words seemed to remind Tao Xi, Tao Xi secretly made a decision to go back and continue to exercise, the content of the two people's conversation completely ignored the camera weighing about 15 kilograms!

Generally, the most important external vent of a civilian tanker is the vent near the anchor. Because of the particularity of the transportation content, this vent is generally very important.

Because it is a vent that emits toxic gases, the smell inside the vent is generally very unpleasant.

Especially Marco, who has an exceptional sense of smell, but fortunately, Tao Xi didn't stay here for a long time: "Let's go! If we stay for a long time, we will easily faint here!"

The internal environment of the vent is basically similar to that of the sewer, and Tao Xi and the others adapted quickly.

The twists and turns of the environment did not cause too much trouble to the two of them, and the circulation of fresh air in the vents quickly allowed the two brothers to get on the deck.

Tao Xi, who had just arrived on the deck, heard a huge "bang" before he could get out.

The hull of the tanker swayed involuntarily. As soon as Tao Xi poked his head out halfway, he saw Sercy Anthony standing on the deck holding a pack of improvised explosives on top of his head and preparing to move towards him again. It was thrown down below.

It seems that there is no one person on the deck at this time. Because Sercy Anthony is on top of his head, Tao Xi can't be too offensive, but continues to lie in the vent~
Sercy Anthony threw the improvised explosive in his hand into the sea again with an arrogant face, turned his head and shouted at Torres who was lying in the crowd like other sailors: "Torres Adams! Our people have arrived Can I withdraw?"

Torres Adams continued to lie in the crowd as if he hadn't heard his words. Not far away, Mate Girigio was lying pale in the arms of a man with a much higher status.

The man in a suit and tie looked flustered and didn't know what to do. If he wasn't in the middle of a bunch of crew members, Tao Xi believed he would run away~
"The people from the speedboat are boarding, Tao Xi." Marko whispered, pointing to the group of people who had just boarded the boat along the steps.

Tao Xi followed his gaze and looked over. A group of heavily armed men rushed to the boat with vigilance on their faces. Before Tao Xi could react, they shot towards the coast guard patrol boat with a rocket. I don't know if I hit it, but Tao Xi knew that the serious "play meat" was coming!
The red-faced Sercy Anthony approached the group of people very excitedly: "Hey! I'm with you, Torres Adams asked you to take me out of here!"

Sercy Anthony pointed to Torres Adams who was hiding in the crowd~
Tao Xi couldn't help but smacked his lips when he saw Sercy Anthony's finger, and shook his head regretfully, the group of people who covered their cheeks raised their hands to Serge as if they saw Tao Xi's movement Hee Anthony is a shot.

Sercy Anthony died without knowing why he died.

The group of people did not look at Torres Adams in the crowd, but called out the first mate and second mate on the tanker, as well as the management of the company to which the tanker belonged.

There were not many people, there were only 5 people in total, and they shot 5 times in a row. This group of heavily armed people left the tanker with a few people carrying boxes from the tanker's warehouse.

Marco looked at all the content recorded in the camera and was about to say something when Torres Adams, who was identified by Sercy Anthony at the beginning, stood out from the crowd unsteadily.

"Cough cough!"

"I know that you may have seen something, but I think whether it is for your family or your work, I think you all know what to say. Killed!"

"Do you know how to say it?"

Seeing that none of the nearly 30 crew members dared to stand up against the man named "Torres Adams", Tao Xi secretly slandered: "What a bunch of cowards!"

The helicopters hovering in the sky and the occasional gunfire on the sea meant that the cooperation of the Los Angeles Police Department and the Coast Guard had suppressed the enemy.

"Tao Xi, let's go back, when the tanker docks, we can sell the video tape for money!"

When Tao Xi heard the nod, he was about to retreat towards the vent. At first, both sides discovered Tao Xi's existence, but when the crisis gradually faded, everyone seemed to have suddenly forgotten the existence of Tao Xi.

When Tao Xi and his party had just hid, several marines wearing masks descended vertically from the helicopter suspended above the tanker. As soon as they got off the ship, they scattered around the corners and started their respective searches.

Suddenly, a sailor who had been lying in the crowd pointed to Torres Adams, who was also lying in the crowd of sailors, to say something to the members of the Special Forces walking towards them.

A black sailor who had been lying on Torres Adams stood up and shot the person who wanted to report Torres Adams!
The members of the Special Forces who have been on guard all the time raise their guns and shoot~
The person who wanted to report Torres Adams at the beginning fell down unwillingly with blood dripping from his forehead.

[Shell petroleum] The oil tanker finally approached the port of Long Beach slowly at four o'clock in the morning that night. [Shell petroleum] had just landed, and the first responders and police detectives who had been on standby for a long time rushed to the ship.

Jeffrey, who was demoted to the Los Angeles Police Department Robbery-Murder Department Chief, stood with his hands on his hips and looked at the lively port in Long Beach Port without speaking for a long time. Evan, the Chief of the Detective Support and Criminal Case Department, was on the side. Brando said with a smug face: "This time the maritime police did not respond very quickly. I heard that Dennis Monzon has the support of a lot of state congressmen behind him. He will not be able to do it next time. Already!"

Jeffrey just nodded and didn't speak. Evan Brando looked at the senior who was older than him and didn't respond to him, nor was he angry. He just patted Jeffrey on the shoulder and said: " Alright! Don’t be angry, the public’s opposition to the case yesterday was very fierce, you’d better think about how to solve the case.”

"I'm not angry, I'm just wondering if there is any connection between the heavy fire attack in Los Angeles County yesterday and the rockets in Long Beach Port today."

As soon as Evan Brando heard what Jeffrey said, he immediately joked to Jeffrey with a strange expression on his face: "Then you have to investigate carefully, I heard that you and that group of Los Angeles trash We have a good relationship."

After hearing these words, Jeffrey turned his head and looked at Evan Brando.

Evan Brando still had a smile on his face at first, but when he saw Jeffrey's original plain expression, it became very scary in an instant.

The ferocious face made Evan Brando's originally smiling face ugly.

"If you want the rate of solving criminal cases to remain high, you'd better not say these things that make me unhappy in front of my face!"

When Evan Brando heard Jeffrey's words, his expression of fear changed immediately, and Evan Brando, who forced a smile, immediately hugged Jeffrey and explained: "Hahahaha, you It's my senior, I don't suspect anything, I just want you to be careful about those."

"Huh!" Jeffrey groaned and turned his head to leave. It happened that Dennis Monzon, the director of the Maritime Patrol Division, also walked towards them. When Dennis Monzon saw Jeffrey, he was still there. Some distressed faces immediately smiled wryly: "Hi, Teacher Jeffrey, long time no see."

"Haha, I didn't expect to see you on an occasion. Your performance today is not very good!" Jeffrey joked with Dennis Monson with a half-smile.

"At first I just wanted to slowly tighten the encirclement, but I didn't expect the opponent to have heavy firepower, and I don't know what happened to those brothers!"

"Okay, hurry up and prepare for the press conference for a while, I think the group of reporters is already hungry and thirsty!"

Dennis Monzon shrugged helplessly and replied: "It's just a group of vultures. Today I saw a daring reporter sneaking into the tanker on that tanker. I have sent someone to find them."

Jeffrey shook his head indifferently when he heard Dennis Monzon's words: "I hope that the state assembly during the day will not let you lose your black hat!"

"I hope so~"
