Chapter 659: Raging Waves of the Red Sea (Part 9)

"A communist?" Lira and Kayla looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes. Without other reasons, they were the ones who were truly communists. How come they hadn't heard that the heir to Queen Industries was their comrade?

"What exactly is going on? Speak clearly!" Kayla's tone turned cold, showing great concern for this matter. Williams took a deep breath and said:

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard it seems to be some Marxism... It seems little Queen's college classmate said he had read books in this area, and seemed to support this theory quite a bit. That should be the country on the opposite side, right?"

Williams didn't seem to have much education; he struggled even to say proper nouns, so it shouldn't have been made up on the spot. But Kayla and Lira both narrowed their eyes. The heir to the Queen family is a Marxist? Other thoughts began to rise in Kayla's heart.

"Are you sure?" Kayla asked again. She began to put pressure on Williams, saying: "This is no small matter. If even the heir to the Queen family has been contaminated, it means there must be unclean people around him. Who do you think is suspicious?"

"I really don't know!" Williams was about to cry. He said: "I don't understand what that ism is at all. I made my fortune by shipping and haven't read any books. I definitely have no suspicion..."

Kayla asked repeatedly several times, but Williams just couldn't say why. This matter was something he heard, and he didn't even have specific details, let alone know the cause and effect.

After telling Williams to keep his mouth shut, the two left Queen Tower. In the car, Kayla said: "I tend to believe what he said is true. What about you?"

"Which part are you referring to?" Lira asked.

"I'm referring to the list part, there shouldn't be any problem. I'm referring to the part about the heir to the Queen family. Do you think Oliver Queen has the possibility of being developed?"

"Kayla, I know if we can make the heir to the Queen family lean toward us, then the work in Coast City, along with the entire West Coast, will proceed more smoothly. But you have to know, this is risky, and the risk is very high..."

Lira was clearly more mature. He was once in the leadership of the Black Panther Party, escaped several assassinations, and even after the Black Panther Party was forced to disband, he was able to keep his job at the DEA. His high reputation among all black people on the entire West Coast was inseparable from his cautious and steady personality.

"But this is worth a try!" Kayla slapped the steering wheel and said: "You should know that our influence is not what it used to be, otherwise we wouldn't have failed in the Philby list matter."

"May 25th, that is, ten days later, the new representative assembly will be held. Before that, I hope our work can make progress."

Kayla's tone was clearly anxious. Although she had been promoted smoothly in the CIA and hadn't encountered any obstacles, reaching an important position, she hadn't achieved any results since sitting in this position, so she was eager to achieve some results.

"Of course, I understand you, Kayla, but..."

"Let's go to Old Tot's place first. If the situation is true, then in order to protect Oliver, all those who know the truth must disappear."

Accompanied by Kayla's firm tone, the car disappeared at the end of the horizon.

In the Los Angeles Police Department, Chloe held the key to the file room and walked quickly through the police station corridor. Lucifer followed behind her. Chloe said while walking: "This Black Wave gang can be said to be a major enemy of the Los Angeles Police Department. They are large in scale, travel in groups, and hold heavy firepower. We must catch one person first, ask for clear intelligence, before we can take action."

"I'll go." Lucifer volunteered. But Chloe frowned and said: "Stop messing around. You're just an ordinary person. This kind of thing has to be done by the police."

Half an hour later, looking at the drug dealer Lucifer had pressed to the ground, Chloe put away her pistol. She walked up, turned her head, and looked at Lucifer in shock: "What did you do to him???"

The drug dealer on the ground had already been scared silly. He had just seen the devil's illusion on Lucifer's face and thought he had done so many evil things that he had already gone to Hell. Before Lucifer could ask, he confessed all his crimes himself.

This kind of bottom-level drug dealer had no willpower at all; they were actually just thugs working part-time. But at the same time, they didn't have any important intelligence. After asking for a long time, nothing was asked.

Chloe wasn't angry. In her career, there were too many such things. Every time she went out on a mission, the people she caught either knew nothing or had very tight mouths, and nothing could be asked. She was used to it.

However, Lucifer, who was participating in handling a case for the first time, didn't have such good patience. He knocked the drug dealer unconscious and said: "Let's go, we'll go directly to the gang headquarters."

"Hey, wait! You can't be so reckless, they have..."

Another half an hour later, Chloe looked at the mess on the ground. She swallowed saliva and looked at Lucifer standing in the middle of the room. At this moment, he was grabbing the neck of the leader of the Black Wave gang.

Chloe saw in a trance that two devil horns appeared on Lucifer's head. The policewoman blinked, and found that the two horns had disappeared again. She felt she might be too tired and had hallucinations.

When the leader of the Black Wave gang was thrown to the ground, he was also scared to pee his pants and confessed busily.

"That's right, it was us who took action. That damn Claude used that bitch Delilah to snatch three of my customer sources and more than a dozen clients. I had to kill her, otherwise the Black Wave gang wouldn't be able to stand."

"Delilah has been working for your competitor for a while, right? Why did you take action to kill her only now?" Chloe keenly noticed something wrong.

According to the psychologist Linda, Delilah's change didn't happen just a few days ago. She was forced to sell drugs and should have been for a while. If it was just not wanting to have business snatched, the Black Wave gang should have taken action earlier, and the loss would have been smaller.

"I didn't intend to take action against Claude at first. That wasn't cost-effective at all. But they forced too hard, and I had no choice." The leader of the Black Wave gang said angrily.

"They? Who are they?" Lucifer walked up and asked.

"My superiors, the people who give me goods. They wanted me to prepare customer sources. They wanted to promote a new type of drug and hoped I could let this drug spread out in the first time to snatch the market..."

"New type of drug? What is it?" Chloe asked again.

The leader of the Black Wave gang paused. He instinctively glanced at the bar behind the sofa. This action was captured by Lucifer. He walked behind the bar and began to rummage. The leader wanted to crawl up, but Chloe had her pistol loaded and pointed at him, so he didn't dare to move.

After rummaging for a while, Lucifer found a small box behind the bar. After he opened the lid of this box, he found that it contained some candies wrapped in silver tin foil.

He took the box over and looked at the candies inside with Chloe. After Lucifer unwrapped one, he threw it into his mouth. Chloe slapped him hard and said: "What are you doing?? Spit it out quickly! It's poisonous!"

Lucifer chewed twice, didn't spit it out, but looked at Chloe's reaction and smiled, saying: "Are you worried about me? Detective?"

"I'm not." Chloe turned her head to the side, but soon, she said anxiously: "Spit it out quickly, what if it's really poisonous?"

"It doesn't matter, didn't I tell you? I'm not an ordinary person." Lucifer said while chewing, saying: "This is a kind of chewing gum, the taste is not bad. As for whether there are drugs in it, I can't taste it."

"We have to take it for testing." Chloe took the box from his hand. Just after getting the box, she froze and said: "Wait a minute, this box doesn't look like general craftsmanship. Los Angeles chewing gum doesn't have this kind of tin box. It looks like it would be in a convenience store in Coast City or Star City..."

Chloe seemed to have remembered something. She examined the box and said: "I should have seen this box somewhere, but I can't quite remember... Forget it, let's take this chewing gum to the police station for testing first. Let's go."

The two drove back to the Los Angeles police station. After sending the chewing gum for testing, Chloe kept staring at the box, thinking about where she had seen it.

"Don't be like that, Detective, you are too serious about work. Shouldn't it be lunchtime now? Let's go eat something." Lucifer issued an invitation to Chloe.

Chloe originally wanted to refuse, but she also felt a bit hungry, so she put down the box and followed Lucifer into the car.

The two came to a restaurant not far from Disneyland together. There were many tourists here, quite lively. In the center of the restaurant area, there were three large televisions playing cartoons.

In this era, this was rare, so many children surrounded the television, shouting and laughing.

"You have a daughter, right? You can bring her here to eat. The food here is cheap and delicious, and there are children's meals, and you can watch TV. I think she should like it." Lucifer said while eating.

Chloe looked up and examined the decoration of the restaurant. Just as Lucifer said, this restaurant opened next to Disneyland should be designed specifically for children, with many elements that children like.

"Thank you for your invitation, letting me discover such a good place." Chloe showed the first smile since meeting Lucifer. She said: "I have to pick up Beatrice from school later. If I'm late, she will definitely complain again."

Although Lucifer felt a bit regretful, he didn't try to keep her. After all, it was serious business. After eating, Chloe was about to leave, but just as she turned to leave the restaurant, she heard the advertisement sound coming from the television behind her:

"Queen Chewing Gum, your ideal life partner, small packaging accompanies you to travel at any time, large packaging is suitable for family reunions, buy chewing gum, please recognize Queen Silver Box Chewing Gum..."

Chloe suddenly stopped. She turned around, widened her eyes, and looked at the television. Lucifer also turned his head. At this moment, what was displayed on the screen was the large packaging of Queen Chewing Gum, which was the so-called silver box chewing gum.

The box on it was very similar to the box Lucifer and the others found, the size was almost exactly the same, and they were all silver. It's just that the box they found didn't have the Queen Industries logo.

The two ran out of the restaurant in unison. After getting into the car, they rushed to the police station all the way. As soon as they entered the police station, a detective walked up and said: "Detective Chloe, the test results you wanted are out. The chewing gum does contain special addictive ingredients, initially estimated to be some kind of drug."

"Alright, thank you." Taking the test report, Chloe rushed to her office in a flash, picked up the box, looked at Lucifer, and said: "Queen Industries!"

Lucifer inferred the cause and effect at a fast speed:

"Queen Industries invented a new type of drug, which is this chewing gum. In order to open up sales channels in the first time, they forced the leader of the Black Wave gang to snatch customer sources. In order to snatch customers, the Black Wave gang took action to kill Delilah, who was controlled by the Claude gang."

Then the two looked down at the chewing gum in the iron box. Chloe said: "If the mastermind behind all this is Queen Industries in Star City, then this thing in our hands..."

"The craftsmanship of the box is exactly the same as the Queen chewing gum on the market. This is the most powerful evidence of their drug trafficking!"

At the entrance of the villa area in Star City, a car drove out quickly. Kayla said anxiously: "We must hurry to retrieve the chewing gum that Old Tot said, and cannot let the evidence of Queen Industries' drug trafficking flow out!"

"If the heir to Queen Industries can be developed, then Queen Industries will be of great use to us. They cannot fall..."

"Kayla, wake up! Do you want to cover up the criminal evidence of a drug trafficking group with a bad record?! Don't you think you are putting the cart before the horse?! Is this our original intention?!" Lira shouted loudly.

"This is just for a more important cause! We need every bit of strength!" Kayla raised her tone and said: "I have no other way!"

The female agent took a deep breath and said: "This is Moscow's meaning. The representative assembly will be held soon. It will decide our next leader. He needs this strength..."

"Who are you referring to?" Kayla Lira's tone was filled with deep disappointment. He questioned: "Do you really not remember what you are working for?"

The car speeded up more and more, and Kayla's facial muscles began to tremble.

With a "screech", a harsh braking sound rang out. Kayla's forehead hit the steering wheel, and blood flowed down. Her hair was disheveled, and the whole person looked hysterical and collapsed.

After a long silence, Kayla slowly brushed her hair aside and said: "... I am crazy, I am going crazy. In order to defend my hometown, I will do anything. I have no other way..."

"When you think like this, you already have no home." Lira turned his head to the side and said: "Once we also thought like this, as long as we can keep the party, we can do anything... and the result?"

Kayla closed her eyes, so no tears flowed out. She said: "Perhaps everyone has realized that all this is just a dying struggle, but even so, I want to struggle once. Maybe... maybe there is still a turning point?"

"He is using you like this!" Lira emphasized his tone and said: "He makes you feel that he will be the last hope, he will save this country..."

"But I can guarantee you, he won't do anything. When he tells you that you can do anything for power, regardless of the people, regardless of justice, regardless of ideals, you should know that he is destined to be a traitor!"

Kayla took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and looked at the sky outside the car window. At this moment, the clouds of dusk slowly dispersed, and on the horizon where gold, red, and purple intertwined, a red sun was slowly sinking.

The light of dusk gradually faded. After the long night passed, the morning light rose again. On the television, accompanied by the shrinking of the exterior scene, the host's screen enlarged. He put his arms on the table and said:

"According to this station's report, the famous enterprise in Star City, Queen Industries, manufactured a new type of drug, shaped like chewing gum. According to the verification of the US DEA, it has been colluding with Mexican drug trafficking groups for a long time and is very close to the Guadalajara drug trafficking group that once committed massacres..."

"Currently, Queen Industries' actions have aroused public anger. Within just three days, three parades have broken out in Star City. Queen Tower is now closed, and the relevant persons in charge have all been arrested..."

"The heir to the Queen family, Oliver Queen, died in a shipwreck. It is unclear whether he knew the truth behind the group's business, but there is no doubt that he is definitely hard to blame..."

"Queen Industries' stock has fallen to the bottom after this matter was exposed, and the financial situation is worrying. It is not far from bankruptcy..."

The television host flipped through the manuscript and began to broadcast the next news. He read again:

"Next, let's pay attention to the international situation. Our neighbor Mexico has recently broken out several farmer and worker movements. According to expert speculation, it may be related to the massacre case that occurred in Sinaloa earlier."

"But there are also informed sources revealing that this farmer and worker movement is being fanned by left-wing parties, and some experts claim that left-wing figures may be colluding with local drug dealers and have a close connection with the previous massacre case..."

With a "click", the television was turned off. Hal slowly turned his head to look at Schiller and said: "Oliver is missing. Could it be that you..."

Schiller, who was writing medical records on the coffee table, didn't even lift his head and said:

"As you can see, I am just an ordinary university professor... and I am on annual leave." ===== CHAPTER 660 =====
