Chapter 85 Where is the Way?
Chapter 85 Where is the Way?
It sounds reasonable, but I feel like something is wrong.
But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that this is probably what active defense means.
The car stopped, at least a hundred meters away from the row of luxury cars. This distance was far enough that the faces of the people could not be seen clearly, so even if the garbage dog came out of the house, he would not be able to tell which one was him.
Luca looked back and said, "Let's wait here. If the target wants to leave, we can find him in time."
"What's the point of leaving? Are you going to catch up and kill him?"
Luca thought about it, shook his head, and said, "I don't know. You decide. What do you think of my suggestion?"
"Kill the employer?"
"Yes."
Gao Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "It's possible."
The dark web will not reveal the identity of the employer, which means Gao Yi does not know who the employer is. Since he does not know who the employer is, it does not matter if he kills Walter just to kill time.
The main reason was that I didn't expect that both the employer and the target were rappers. You know, these guys can write the entire process of killing in the lyrics. In other words, these guys really don't know how to keep their mouths shut.
I don’t know why the dark web would accept orders from such people, but since there are loopholes in the dark web, Gao Yi and his team must plug the loopholes that may lead to leaks themselves.
Luca sighed softly and said, "Since it can be done, shouldn't we find out Walter's address?"
"It should be easy to check. You can check it out."
"it is good."
Anyway, the target hasn't appeared yet, so now they can only wait. But as they were talking, a black lady suddenly came out from the room next door, and she walked towards Gao Yi and the others with a menacing look.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Get out of here, get out of here!"
The tall, fat woman started spewing slang and gratuitous curse words.
Gao Yi was so angry that his teeth were itching, but Luca didn't say a word. He started the car and drove forward for a while, then stopped at a street intersection at least 200 meters away.
I turned the car around and pointed it towards the target location. Now I could only see the cars from a distance.
“Are all the residents here sick?”
"Persecution paranoia, but they have to be careful. Who knows what two strangers are planning to do when they stop in front of her house? If there is a fight outside her house, she will be in trouble."
Gao Yi briefly explained that he and Luca had different focuses in their understanding of the city of Los Angeles, and both sides had some blind spots in knowledge.
They stopped for about ten minutes, and at this moment, two people suddenly got out of the car behind Gao Yi and his team.
Gao Yi was the first to notice someone coming over, and he immediately said, "No, they're coming for us!"
There were two white men, one wearing a jacket and the other wearing a T-shirt, but looking at their aggressive and fearless expressions, you could tell they were here to cause trouble.
Luca said helplessly: "What the hell, can't we even park here?"
A white man stayed at the rear of the car, and a black man came forward and knocked on the window. After making a gesture to lower the window, he held a police badge in one hand and said in a low voice, "Police! Put your hands in an obvious place."
Without a uniform and a police car, he is not an ordinary patrolman. He can only be a detective or a narcotics officer.
Luca calmly put his hands on the steering wheel and said, "Officer, what's the problem?"
The black man looked at Luca, then at Gao Yi's Asian face. His stern expression relaxed a little and he said, "You have been here for a long time. Why?"
"We're just studying the map, officer."
Luca nodded, and Gao Yi raised his phone and said, "We just want to stop and study the navigation carefully. We may have missed our destination."
The black policeman was obviously relieved. He didn't even ask Luca to show his driver's license. He just whispered, "Leave here! Now. This is not the place for you to stay."
"Okay officer, thank you officer, we'll leave right away."
The black policeman leaned back, and Luca started the car, turned the steering wheel, and slowly drove out of the parking space.
Gao Yi exhaled lightly and said, "What's going on? The police questioned me just because I stopped by the road? When did the police in Los Angeles become so idle?"
"They are monitoring. If I'm not mistaken, the Los Angeles police have already monitored the garbage dog, and it's semi-public. A drug-dealing rapper and another rapper are swearing at each other, and there's a high possibility that they'll actually fight. The police should take some action."
Gao Yi said puzzledly: "There's no need to monitor them from such a distance, are they looking for evidence of Garbage Dog's crime?"
"Maybe, but then the police are providing protection for the garbage dogs."
Luca seemed a little worried. He said helplessly, "This is a very serious problem. There are only two policemen coming out to check on us, but there must be more policemen guarding us. Do you want to kill the target under the police's surveillance?"
This is really a problem.
Gao Yi didn't want to take advantage of his own backyard, but now he had to do it not only in Los Angeles, but also under the noses of the police. Just thinking about it made him feel overwhelmed.
Shouldn't a drug dealer just hide in a cave? Why is he a rapper and is operating under police surveillance? And this drug dealer can even hold a party in a grand manner and attract a bunch of luxury cars.
What on earth is going on in the United States?
While Gao Yi was upset, the car drove past the door of Jinli Dog's house again.
Looking at the row of luxury cars, Gao Yi suddenly said, "That's not right. If they were really monitoring us, why did they chase us away? This doesn't make sense. If we are suspects related to the garbage dog, shouldn't they monitor us as well? If they think we have nothing to do with the garbage dog, why did they expose themselves?"
Gao Yi couldn't figure it out, and neither could Luca.
After struggling for a long time, Luca suddenly said, "Is it possible that these policemen are not monitoring us, but are planning to take action?"
Gao Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "It's possible, but I still feel something is wrong. They don't look like they are going to take action. Could it be... they are just monitoring this neighborhood? It has nothing to do with our goal."
Luca smiled bitterly and said, "Don't guess. We can't guess it. Let's just buy the information."
Gao Yi's eyes turned and he said, "Buying intelligence? Why should we buy it? Why not just ask Walter directly? Ask your employer why there are police officers near the target's home. I think he should know and will definitely tell you."
Luca shook his head and said, "No, this is not a good idea. The reason is very simple. If we kill our employer now, it's because he has concealed key information from us and it is very likely that he will kill us. So if we kill him first, it won't be considered crossing the bottom line. But if we ask the employer too much and the employer tells us, then he won't be considered hiding key information. In this case..."
"I understand."
Gao Yi exhaled and said, "Then I won't ask. In order to get rid of the employer with peace of mind, I'd better spend some money if I can solve the problem with money."
Although neither of them was particularly experienced, they felt that the matter was not too difficult to handle after discussing it together.
After driving out of the dangerous area and away from the black community, Luca stopped the car again, then he took out his mobile phone and went to the dark web.
In fact, buying intelligence is not so easy. If it is some valuable intelligence, there may be intelligence dealers who already have the information in their hands, and as long as someone offers a price, the information can be obtained immediately.
But there are too many drug dealers in Los Angeles, it is no exaggeration to say that they are as numerous as the hairs on a cow, so the information and intelligence of a drug dealer may not be available to those intelligence dealers on the dark web.
If there is no ready-made intelligence, it will need to be collected temporarily, but this will be slow and will increase the risk of exposure.
Luca said to Gao Yi, "Buying intelligence requires skills. It is impossible to ask openly because the act of buying intelligence itself is intelligence. Therefore, intelligence dealers do not have public missions like assassins and mercenaries. If you want to buy intelligence, it is best to find a middleman with good reputation and strength."
"Can the information still be guaranteed by the dark web?"
"Intelligence cannot be guaranteed, so intelligence business is a sideline business of the dark web. Unless both parties to the transaction ask the dark web for a guarantee and the seller is willing to accept the dark web guarantee, it is possible to do a guaranteed transaction. Otherwise, intelligence is bought and sold privately. Because of this, reputation is the lifeline of intelligence dealers."
Luca found a phone number on the dark web. This is what makes intelligence dealers different from other people. Only intelligence dealers will publish their phone numbers on the dark web. Of course, not everyone can see it. At least only registered service providers can see it. Ordinary users definitely cannot.
"This Los Angeles intelligence dealer has a good reputation. Although he only operates in the Los Angeles area, this is what we need."
Luca showed Gao Yi who he was looking for, and then he dialed the number. Not long after the call was connected, a bright-sounding voice rang out.
"Hello, is there anything you would like to know?"
"I want information about Junk Dog, do you have it?"
"Who?"
This intelligence dealer obviously had never heard of the name Junk Dog, and that was clear from his tone.
Luca whispered, "Garbage dog, drug dealer, and the one with the rapper."
"Oh, oh, I see. Do you want any news about him? Man, I will never lie. I have a good reputation, and it is not easy to come by, so I have to say that I don't have any information about this guy. Give me three days and I will find out for you. How about that?"
"how much is it?"
"Well, about 30,000 yuan. It does cost a lot to expedite it."
"What if we give you the news tonight? All the details, so we can keep track of your whereabouts at any time."
"That's expensive, man. That's much more expensive. It'll cost a hundred thousand dollars."
"Okay, I'll think about it."
Gao Yi knew that he would not buy this information because it was too expensive. However, the information dealer said on the phone: "Brother, no matter whether this deal is successful or not, leave me your phone number. The price varies depending on the situation. It is indeed expensive this time, but it is always right to ask me first every time you need information."
Luca said in a deep voice: "Okay, contact me if you need me."
After hanging up the phone, Luca said to Gao Yi: "This guy knows how to do business. He knows that I won't buy it, so he should make it clear to leave some opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Gao Yi felt the same way. He thought for a moment and said, "Buying intelligence is too expensive. What do you think about asking the police directly?"
Luca spread his hands and said, "Good idea, but do you have any connections?"
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "I can't ask the police, but I can ask the FBI."
