I, Citi Police Chief, pay money

The name Jessica means "God's gift" in English. In connection with the meaning of Springfield, the whole name of Springfield is very beautiful and poetic.

"Thank you." Ms. Chuntian accepted Chris's compliment. Americans are very direct, without the implicitness of the Chinese. Beauty is beauty, and there is no need for any cover-up or embarrassment... And this kind of direct style is popular among Chinese people and even other white people. From the perspective of the group, Americans are a little arrogant.

"Now, the company's affairs..."

"Well, let's talk about the company." Chris cheered up, and discussed with Ms. Chuntian about the plan to start a joint venture with great interest.

While the two were discussing, the dozen or so burly men brought by Chuntian automatically picked up weapons and spread them around, becoming alert.

The discussion between the two was not intense. On the contrary, the conversation between the two was very friendly. The main reason was that Chris was deliberately giving up profits. In his plan, Chris would take 60.00% of the shares in the weapon company he was preparing for. , and the remaining 40.00% is handed over to Chuntian for distribution. As for whether she owns the 40.00% completely or distributes a part to others, Chris doesn’t want to care too much, as long as Chuntian fulfills her responsibilities.

As for the company, Chris provided money, technology, and personnel to prepare, while Chuntian was responsible for providing contacts and solving troubles caused by some political and unexplained factors.

Chris sent someone to inquire about the name Springfield. There is no Springfield Arsenal in the United States in this world, but there is a very influential Springfield family in the American military. How much influence does it have? Reese didn't find out, and the lieutenants who took the money were willing to tell Chris that the information was very limited, and the content was so vague that he had to guess to figure out part of the meaning.

If a person said this, Chris must have suspected that the other party was cheating on him after receiving the money, but after he asked many people, the answers he gave him basically contained the content of "the Springfield family has great influence", Obviously, there is something in it that Chris is not clear about.

It’s okay to inquire clearly. Since it is confirmed that the Springfield family has a great influence in the U.S. Army, it is a feasible thing to recruit Chuntian to join the team. Chris also sorted out the sporadic records uploaded from the system records to the player subsystem, and confirmed that Springfield's reputation is still reliable. At the same time, Chris also heard a little about what happened to the Pinkerton Detective Agency, and knew that when they were detectives, The general who met the army took the initiative.

After knowing this information, Chris no longer doubted the hidden energy behind Chuntian.

On the other hand, Chuntian is also very satisfied with the 40.00% shares promised by Chris. The company can get 40.00% of the dry stock by avoiding some troubles and looking for product sales channels by the way. In Chuntian's view, this is definitely a deal that will not lose money.

No, there is no shadow of the company yet, and Chuntian is now thinking about how to use his status in the family to manage this private property well.

"By the way, how is your company going to be set up, and besides, what's its name?" Chuntian asked.

"I am going to buy a bankrupt arms company. This is a small company called George Arms Company. It has a small arms factory and an arms production line in the suburbs of New York. It has dozens of lathes and parts processing machines. It is also very suitable for our new arms company as a starting (harmonious) point, as for the new name..."

Chris pondered for a moment and gave a name.

"How about calling it Jagged Industries Manufacturing Company?"

Haruta thought about it.

"It doesn't sound bad... I just don't know why, this name sounds a little chilly to me."

"Then... another one?" Chris said tactfully, and Haruta shook his head.

"No, just this one, Iron Blood Industry Manufacturing Company, Iron Blood Industry Manufacturing Company, the name is simple and easy to remember, it's okay, no need to change."

In this way, the name of the company jointly established by Chris and Springfield was finalized, and the next process was to acquire the bankrupt company. In order to succeed, Chris prepared a fund of 50 dollars... In addition to the acquisition money, The $50 also includes the initial funds for repairing the arsenal, recruiting workers, inspecting production lines, and purchasing new machines.

However, before Chris started his actions, Chuntian gave him a surprise... The boss of the George Arms Company came to his door, with a humble and sincere attitude, and offered to sell Chris his bankrupt company. Wan Meidao will transfer the company's weapons production and sales qualifications, as well as the arsenal and workers under his name to Chris. As long as the latter agrees to this condition, he will make up the wages of the workers and recruit several gun designers and workshop supervisors. Iron-blooded crafting can start producing weapons immediately.

For $[-], you can take down an arms company and a small arms factory. This price can’t be said to be very cheap, but it can be regarded as a broken bone. Besides, George’s company is still a bankrupt company with a lot of debts in its name. The boss He didn't ask Chris to take over the debt while taking over the company.

Chris became curious, so he asked the boss privately, and the latter, for the sake of Chris's willingness to agree, quietly told Chris the reason after signing the contract.

"Someone from the army found me, and they promised that as long as I sell the company to you, they will pay off the balance of the weapons owed to me... With that money, I can go to other businesses, or I can retire now , so you don’t have to continue working in the arms industry, which has no future.”

Chapter 89: Chapter 84 The Tramp Disappearance Case

While Chris was busy with starting the company, Lao She was patrolling Hell's Kitchen with five Mexican auxiliary police officers, looking for some people to question.

Recently, Hell's Kitchen has been calm on the surface, but in the dark, there have been a few things that the police players feel very concerned about.

First of all, the cook in the dining hall of the [-]th district said in a private chat that half a month ago, there were fewer and fewer homeless people who came to the back of the dining hall every night to take out leftovers. When the rice bucket arrived the next day, there were still leftovers left.

This kind of thing should be a trivial matter that no one cares about. However, the players with a keen sense of smell sensed the taste of hidden missions from such conversations, and immediately made detailed investigations on several cooks hired by the canteen in the sixteenth district. inquiry.

The cooks include Mexicans and Chinese workers. Facing the inquiries of the four policemen, they immediately poured out all the information they knew. However, they didn’t know much, and the useful content was fully disclosed in the previous conversation. Out.

The players were not discouraged, there were no missions recently, and they immediately split into four groups, Chang Wei ran to check the police file to find cases related to the disappearance, the pandaren ran to Sergeant Patrick, and asked him He and his police detectives inquired about intelligence, while Li Gangjing went to the Kaile Gang and mobilized newsboys and gangsters to monitor Hell's Kitchen.

And Lao She was in charge of taking five Mexican auxiliary police officers to conduct field investigations in neighborhoods where homeless people often haunt and live.

Generally speaking, most of the homeless in Hell's Kitchen are old, weak, sick and disabled. But for the sake of making a living, the homeless who are physically stronger, have a normal mind, and are healthy and healthy, basically join the local gangs and become thugs, or It is doing other odd jobs. Generally speaking, there is still a way for the homeless to live in the United States now. It will not be like the future generations. Once they go bankrupt and wander, they can only wander for the rest of their lives.

Even so, there are still a lot of homeless people in Hell's Kitchen. Most of these people can't find a job to support themselves because of physical disabilities, diseases, old age and other problems, so they can only wander street.

Lao She doesn't pay attention to this group on weekdays. In fact, if the cook hadn't mentioned their sharp decrease in the chat, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual. When wandering around a poor neighborhood with a large number of homeless people, he discovered that the situation might be more serious than expected... There are not even one homeless person in the neighborhood these days.

Lao She found a homeless man sleeping in the corner of an alley, put a steaming sausage in front of him, and woke him up. When the homeless man grabbed the sausage and devoured it, he ate a box of sausages all at once. It was all gone, and when there was still something to say, Lao She took the opportunity to ask.

"Answer a question, I'll give you money... Do you know where the other wanderers who are nearby usually go?"

Looking at the green banknotes in front of him, the old homeless man with gray hair and beard, wrinkled and tired face hesitated for a while.

"Officer, I don't really know where they went... I'm usually the one who gets bullied. I don't dare to inquire about their movements."

Lao She handed over a one-dollar bill, and then asked.

"Then do you know what unusual movements have occurred in this block in recent days?"

The old homeless man grabbed the beautiful knife, stuffed it into his arms, thought about it seriously, and replied.

"White Gang came here five days ago to recruit workers..."

"Tell me carefully." Lao She became interested, and he handed over a dollar knife, and the homeless man quickly took the money, and then said.

"Five days ago, people from the White Gang came here to recruit workers. They said they were recruiting people to work in the Chicago factory. Many Irish people and homeless people with arms and legs signed up. I also went, but they recruited at the end. But only the homeless were taken, and none of the Irish workers were taken... I was also selected, but I saw something wrong and slipped away halfway."

This was useful information. Lao She cheered up and handed over the two banknotes.

"Where did the White Gang take these people?"

"I don't know." The tramp replied honestly, but he was afraid that this question would dissatisfy the police officer, so he quickly added.

"You can go to Chinatown and ask the local Chinese gang. Before I slipped away, I heard people from the White Gang say that they plan to enter Tang Chinatown to recruit Chinese workers. The Chinese gang there should know something."

"Then the last question, where is the stronghold of the White Gang?" Lao She handed all the beautiful knives in his hand to the homeless man, and the latter quickly replied after borrowing the money.

"The White Gang haunts the neighborhoods near Chinatown. I don't know where the specific stronghold is, but if you ask the Chinese gang, they must know the answer."

"Okay." Lao She left with the Mexican auxiliary police after listening.

After leaving the homeless man, Lao She did not rush to Chinatown with the Mexican auxiliary police. On the contrary, he walked around a few times very cautiously, and found several homeless men to question in the same way.

Some people don’t know what to ask, and they just hang around waiting to die. Some people know some useful information, but they don’t know more than the famous old tramp, but it can be regarded as filling in some old tramps. The detailed information made Lao She more certain that someone was deliberately collecting homeless people in Hell's Kitchen.

The White Gang is not the only gang that collects homeless people, there are several smaller gangs doing the same thing, but the only thing they have in common is that they don't look for unemployed Irish workers... this may be out of respect for other Irish gangs in Hell's Kitchen The scruples may also be the instructions of the mastermind behind the scenes. In short, their actions are very low-key, so low-key that if the players hadn't heard the chef's chat, they would not have known such a thing happened.

After collecting such information, Lao She hurried back to the sixteenth district police station and joined the other three players.

"The situation is not quite right." Li Gangjing yelled loudly as soon as they met.

"Keller asked them for me. The number of homeless people in Hell's Kitchen is decreasing rapidly, but there is no movement of homeless people outside Hell's Kitchen. Someone is making trouble."

"Someone must be doing something, the key is who is doing it." Chang Wei took over.

"Take the weapon and hit it and it will be clear." Lao She replied calmly.

"I have already found out that the White Gang and the Chinese Gang are the key to this matter... Now gather the troops, we will divide into two groups, and start to act. Remember to bring our demon-repelling holy flame shotgun. Maybe this time there will be a little surprise waiting for us."

Chapter 90: Chapter 85 The Art of Search

Except for Lao She, the other three actually obtained some useful information when they acted separately. For example, the pandaren who were looking for Sergeant Patrick heard from Sergeant Regina passing by that the gathering of homeless people Action, it is very likely that foreign sects are acting.

If you want to ask what sect it is, Sergeant Regina doesn't know. He spread his hands and told the Pandaren frankly that in the United States, sects that use the name of Christ or other banners There are too many. In New York, there are more than a dozen denominations, large and small, spreading their beliefs.

On weekdays, players don't notice it because these sects are low-key. Secondly, they are also very good at disguising themselves. When preaching, they all like to wear traditional priest clothes, except for those who mix religions or believers of their sects In addition, outsiders don't know what the patterns on the clothes mean, and they have no way of distinguishing the difference between them and Protestantism.

"Fuck... Yankees don't care about these messy religions?" Chang Wei said gloomily, and Li Gangjing, who moved with him and rushed to Chinatown, looked at him for a while, making Chang Wei feel a little uncomfortable Afterwards, Li Gangjing asked him back slowly.

"Don't you know America is the country that loves religious freedom the most?"

"Uh, I don't know..."

"Well, you just know it now... In short, in this magical place called America, religious beliefs are very messy. If you want to tell the difference between these religions in this way, you don't want to get a standard answer. The United States in the game It is different from the real America. Obviously, the game planning of Baihu Studio has only a little bit of understanding of the American religious circles, but in fact, if you want to figure out the difference, even if you find a native American, he probably will I don’t know the religious situation in my own country…”

"Okay, stop talking, Chinatown is here." Chang Wei interrupted Li Gangjing's chatter. At the entrance of a block, he and Li Bangjing stood side by side. Pay close attention to pedestrians within yellow faces.

"What shall we do now?"

"Go in first." Li Gang carefully arranged the clothes on his body and the weapons behind him, and said slowly.

"The Chinese gang stronghold in Chinatown, the newsboys of the Kaile Gang can't tell where it is, but it doesn't matter, let's go in and ask. The Chinese inside will not disrespect us, you know."

"Okay, what about the action?"

"action."

……

On the other side, Lao She and the Pandaren rushed to Block 53 with a dozen Mexican auxiliary policemen... Contrary to what the old homeless man said, the White Gang's stronghold is not actually near Chinatown, they will be operating near Chinatown , does not mean that their stronghold is near Chinatown. In this regard, the old tramp was actually misled.

The tramp was misled, but Lao She, who owns the Keller Gang under his command, was not misled. He turned around and asked the newsboy, who quickly pointed out where the Keller Gang’s real stronghold was... After all, if gangsters want to read newspapers, send them The people in the newspaper are also the orphan newsboys under the Kaile Gang.

After getting the specific location, Lao She immediately led people to attack and went straight to a residential house in the 53rd block.

"Bang!" The closed door was knocked open, and Lao She, who was holding a shotgun, took the lead and rushed in.

"The police handle the case, put your hands up... Fuck, no one?"

Yes, there is no one in the White Gang stronghold that was raided by Lao She and others. However, the messy layout of the house furniture, the tableware thrown on the ground, and the blood on the walls clearly indicate the disappearance of the White Gang. Hidden secrets.

"It's late." Lao She squatted down and looked at the blood. Judging from the degree of coagulation, he knew that the blood probably appeared last night.

"Ask the people nearby what happened here last night."

"Well, I'll go right away." The pandaren responded, turned around and left with two Mexican auxiliary policemen, while Lao She led the rest of the team to conduct a detailed search of the White Gang's stronghold.

Lao She easily discovered that the stronghold of the White gang had been searched and retrieved several times before they arrived. All the drawers and cabinets in the house were opened, and the shoe boxes, beds and sofas were opened and searched. The perpetrators violently cut open every piece of cloth they could find with a sharp weapon, and all the wall tiles and floors that sounded abnormal were pried open and smashed to reveal a small space that might contain foreign objects.

"This is meeting a professional who has received professional training..." Seeing such a scene, Lao She couldn't help but feel deeply moved, and then resigned himself to the defeat, and could only lead the team to leave silently... It's so clean, no matter how much you search, Definitely nothing.

But after leaving the house of the White Gang, Lao She stopped outside the house. He didn't know what he thought of, and turned around to look at the two-story building with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Lao She..." It was the pandaren, and he ran back with two Mexican auxiliary policemen. Obviously, he had completed the work that Lao She ordered, but judging from the expression on the pandaren's face, the result was not very good.

"...Damn it, I asked the residents near this house, and they all said that they didn't hear any unusual movements last night, no shouting, and no gunshots. In order to find out if they were lying to me, I arrested them. I beat up a guy who didn't look like an honest citizen, and his words still didn't change.

There must be something wrong here. "

"The key is where the problem is." Lao She said, and then he said something that was somewhat unexpected to the panda people.

"Pandaren, take a look. If I set fire to this house, do you think the fire will set the surrounding houses on fire?"

The pandaren turned around and carefully looked at the two sides of the two-storey house, and estimated the distance.

"Half and half chance, it depends on what you use to set the fire on, and what flammable items are in the house... By the way, Lao She, why do you suddenly want to set fire to it?"

"I suspect that there is a secret room or a basement in this house. Looking at the exterior of the house, its interior space should not be limited to the inside, but I couldn't find the entrance to the secret room, so I wanted to set fire to it." Lao She Very calm.

"As long as the fire is burning, it will definitely not be possible to hide whether there is a secret room inside."

"What if there is something in it? If the fire starts, won't it be destroyed?" the pandaren couldn't help asking.

"That's none of my business, I just want to find someone." Lao She spread his hands, with an expression of indifference.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let the brothers spread out, you bring someone to get some water pipes and buckets and wait here, and then I will throw a fire bomb in and have a look."

"Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say."

Chapter 91: Chapter 86

"Miss Chuntian, the police in the [-]th District have discovered that the homeless people in the area have disappeared, and have investigated it to the White Gang."

The subordinate's report made Chuntian, who was lying on the desk copying something, stop, raised his head and looked at the burly man in front of him.

"Will their actions affect our cleanup plan?"

"Currently, I'm not sure yet." The big man hesitated, not daring to make a promise.

"Then leave them alone and finish the matter as soon as possible." Chuntian lowered his head again, and the sound of the pen scribing across the white paper sounded again.

"Uh, miss, the police chief of the [-]th district... don't you have a little friendship with Chief Chris?"

"Cooperation is cooperation, and work is work. Such things are not suitable for ordinary people like him to know."

"Then what about our future operational funds...? If we accidentally let Director Chris die, then we will lose an additional and stable source of income."

"Uh..." When it came to money, Chuntian's attitude immediately softened, his pretty face was full of helplessness.

"During the operation, Brian, you should pay attention to avoiding the police and don't accidentally injure them. As for Director Chris, let's wait for the right opportunity to talk about it. Our work is destined to act in secret, and we cannot give the enemy a chance to retaliate against us, so , things have to be careful."

"Understood, miss."

……

"Massive disappearance of homeless people?" When Lao She and others planned to set fire to the building, Chris also received a report from Sheriff Regina at about the same time.
