Chapter 122: Family monthly ticket 6663

Officer Lukaer has been tailing the case of Kent (a small casino operator) recently. Because many people died in this case, the New Jincheng Police Department has labeled it a priority investigation.

It sounds like... they take it very seriously, but in fact, many cases have such labels, though most end up with nothing.

Some are because they truly cannot find any leads, while others are because they found leads but cannot continue the investigation.

A very prestigious detective once said that the hardest cases to solve are random, indiscriminate murders, where the killer's motive is simply based on something ordinary people cannot understand.

For this kind of case, if there isn't enough evidence left at the scene and enough witnesses, it is basically impossible to solve.

As for the kind where the investigation cannot continue, it doesn't matter if there is evidence or witnesses; it just cannot be investigated further.

This is also why the reason for the rising water level of Angel Lake remains a mystery in the mouths of experts to this day, and why no one has truly gone to the bottom of the lake to check.

Fortunately, Kent's case has a way to be investigated further, because he has an older brother who is a high-ranking gang member, and he can use many methods that are inconvenient for the police.

Look, now the leads, motives, and witnesses are gradually beginning to surface.

This contact with Lans is also a test. He is not afraid of alerting Lans because he has Wei De following behind. If this matter has anything to do with Lans, he will eventually reveal a flaw.

Lukaer took a photo out of his pocket and handed it to him, "Have you seen this person?"

The person in the photo is Kent, wearing a colorful shirt and a gold necklace, standing on the street waiting to cross the road.

Lans glanced at it twice and shook his head, "Not familiar."

Officer Lukaer emphasized and repeated, "Not familiar?"

Lans returned the photo to him, "I've heard of this person; he runs a casino in the Imperial District."

Officer Lukaer put the photo back into his pocket, "He has an older brother named Wei De, a high-ranking member of the Kamila Gang. Now, he might be targeting you."

When he said these words, he stared fixedly at Lans's eyes, wanting to discover a trace of panic in his gaze.

However, it was a pity that he failed, but not entirely, because Lans's gaze was very calm, as if this news had not brought him any surprise.

A businessman, if he were truly just an ordinary businessman, would certainly be panicked when he heard that a notorious local gang had started looking for trouble with him.

Even if Lans himself runs a financial company suspected of usury.

This shows that he might already be prepared, or had anticipated this. He must have a thousand threads of connection to this case, and it is even possible that he is involved in it.

Officer Lukaer found it hard to imagine the scene where he bumped into Lans that day. The young man under the sun was full of surging youthful power, but now he is linked to crime.

How can people be so complex?

Or rather, can those criminals truly show such a bright and clear side?

He does not know. Even though he has seen many criminals, there is no experience to be used on Lans.

Lans said jokingly, "Is it still too late to call the police now?"

Officer Lukaer was somewhat stunned. This answer exceeded all his expectations; he didn't even know how to respond or what to say.

After about three or five seconds, he came back to his senses, "Of course, seeking police protection is your right, Lans, but the police force in New Jincheng is limited, and we cannot protect you all the time."

"These hungry wolves are circling around you. One day you will reveal a flaw, so if you know why he is targeting you, tell me, perhaps I can help you!"

Lans shook his head, indicating that he was unaware, "Could it be because I earned a sum of money recently?"

Wrong answer!

Officer Lukaer showed a smile, "Alright, it seems you really don't know, but be careful recently. He has gone completely crazy because of his brother's death."

He left a phone number for Lans, "This is my office phone, someone answers it twenty-four hours a day. Call me whenever you encounter trouble, and I will definitely be there within twenty minutes."

Lans did not refuse. He took the piece of paper with the phone number on it, glanced at it, and said jokingly, "No wonder the climax of movies is often in the last twenty minutes."

Seeing Officer Lukaer's confusion at not understanding, he explained with a smile, "You guys always appear in the last three minutes!"

He understood. After a dumbfounded laugh, his smile slightly solidified.

He looked at Lans with deep meaning, patted his arm, "Interesting joke, but remember to call me, if you are willing." Saying this, he shook his head and left.

He already felt that there would be a shootout between Lans and Wei De, just not knowing when, where, or in what way.

Lans drove away without going back, heading straight to Alberto's side, and said straightforwardly, "I want a batch of weapons."

Alberto has earned quite a bit of money recently, and Lans's alcohol gave him a lot of face in front of Director Du Ke, and he also gained many benefits, so he was exceptionally enthusiastic toward Lans.

"No problem, let Fudisi take you to get them, I can give you a friend's price."

"Do you have submachine guns?"

Alberto was stunned for a moment, "Yes, but are you sure you want this?"

"If you use it within the city, you will definitely have to pay a price. You know, the public will be afraid."

The best way to soothe the fear in the hearts of the public is to catch the "criminals." As for whether they caught the ones they were looking for, that is not important.

Just like Big Poli, many people know that he was the one holding a submachine gun behind the second-floor window shooting at a passerby, but when someone indicated that they did it themselves, the police didn't investigate further.

On one hand, they are also afraid of the retaliation of such madmen; on the other hand, he also paid enough "price." Those two bastards have a high probability of staying inside for five to ten years.

Even if he finds a way to fish people out, it will be years later.

Using the combined ten-plus years of freedom of two people to soothe the public's uneasy emotions is enough.

Lans shook his head, "I will be careful."

Alberto looked at him for a while, "Encountered trouble?"

"Small trouble."

He offered, "If you need my help, just speak up. Even if I can't solve it, Director Du Ke can help you."

"In this city, his words are more useful than the mayor's."

"And he has long wanted to see you."

Refusing someone's kindness repeatedly is in itself an impolite thing, so this time, Lans did not refuse, but added a prerequisite, "After I solve this trouble, I will personally visit Director Du Ke."

Alberto nodded, "I will pass it on to him."

Afterward, he picked up the phone to have Fudisi come over, taking Lans to the armory.

There is a reason why the Sumuli people are not easily bullied in the Federation. Submachine guns, rifles, grenades, and even landmines—these things opened Lans's eyes. This could fully equip a small infantry unit!

"They are all weapons with no problems. If you don't want to use them after you're done, you can bring them back, and we'll buy them back at sixty percent."

The bearded man looked serious. Lans smiled and said, "It's a pity you didn't become a businessman."

He had an indifferent expression, "This is business!"

Six submachine guns Lans didn't recognize, twenty Maglei 1212 semi-automatic pistols, and corresponding ammunition.

It is worth mentioning that these submachine guns also use pistol ammunition; they can be mixed, which reduces the burden of logistics, although this little bit of stuff can't be called a burden, let alone logistical pressure.

For these things, Lans paid 2,200 dollars. The bearded man also gave Lans an extra fragmentation grenade, "I hope you don't need to use it."

Lans patted the bearded man's arm, "I'll come to you again in the future."

When the two walked to the garage, Fudisi pulled Lans and stood in the corner, "Encountered trouble?"

"Small problem," Lans gave the other party a cigarette, "People from the Kamila Gang."

Fudisi lit the cigarette and took a puff, "Guys like bedbugs. Alberto must have told you, if there's any place you need, give us a call!"

"You are always our friend, Lans."

Lans hugged him, "Small difficulties are like stones on the side of the road; just step over them. After I solve this trouble, I have other things to find you for."

Fudisi didn't ask why, just said, "I'll wait for you."

After returning to the company with a car full of hazardous materials, Lans found everyone who had nothing to do.

"Wei De, Kent's brother, has recently found his way to us. They are different from the police."

"The police won't move against me without evidence, even if they know it was us who did it."

"But Wei De is different. He is a member of the Kamila Gang. He won't wait to find evidence like the police before moving against us, so we must be prepared, and even solve him before he moves against us."

Enio had been distracted. Lans walked over, grabbed the back of his neck, and patted it, "What are you daydreaming about?"

His expression wasn't very good, and he forced out some smiles, "Sorry, this is my problem, I..."

Lans pushed him. Caught off guard, he almost fell to the ground, stumbling several steps before standing firm.

Lans pointed at him and said forcefully, "We are a family. Don't tell me this. Your trouble is my trouble. If it's my trouble, go solve it!"

Lans's words made Enio feel a sense of guilt, but at the same time, it also bred a desire to fight.

He nodded forcefully, "Yes... no, yes, let's solve it together."

Lans took the travel bag full of weapons out of the car with effort, threw it on the table, and then unzipped it.

Looking at the weapons inside and the boxes of ammunition, while everyone gasped, a kind of courage and power also grew in their hearts! ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
