Sin City (Chapter 1: The Hard Goodbye)
Several well-known lawyers died continuously within an hour in the modern building, and there were no traces at the scene except for a few shells. The luxurious law firm was almost all carpeted, and the clean carpet had no traces, nor any evidence or clues left by the suspect. Xu Huaqing walked out of the building when the lawyer's assistant and secretary found the dead lawyers, and he had already taken a taxi and left the scene.
Yu Fei sat in the bulletproof car, which was as safe as a safe deposit box. He opened the files of the parties involved in today's court case and found the names of the defense lawyers written on them. He sent several names to Xu Huaqing via mobile phone, asking him how these people were doing. Xu Huaqing sat in the taxi, took out his notebook, looked at the remaining photos, and quickly replied that those people had gone on vacation. Yu Fei knew they had gone to Guimen Pass for a "vacation", so he put down his tense heart. He thought to himself: "Those annoying lawyers won't be able to talk their way out of this in court to get the suspects off scot-free. It looks like we can lock up the guy who opened the casino first, and things are going smoothly for me. Those who can be locked up will be locked up first, and those who are good at playing tricks to escape punishment will be taken care of directly."
The motorcade carrying the suspect proceeded normally on the road to the court, but Wen Qian, who had just started her shift, was still a bit worried. This was Yu Fei's first time in court, and what if there were cunning lawyers who would make things difficult for him? If the judge released the suspect due to insufficient evidence, these people could pose a threat to Yu Fei's life as soon as they stepped out of the courtroom and made a phone call. She might as well follow them and take a look, since the provincial court was also within her patrol area.
"Let's follow the escort vehicle and take a look at the court." Wen Qian put on her bulletproof vest in the car, loading the M9F pistol with bullets issued by the police team, ready to respond to any unexpected situation at any time. Xiao Yan also became tense when she saw Wen Qian's vigilant appearance, and despite the sweltering weather, she stopped the car and put on a thick bulletproof vest before driving the police car to continue following the gendarmerie convoy.
There are few residents around the court, and not many high-rise buildings. There is only a park with some plants, flowers and trees, which is far less crowded than the parks in the city center because it is far from residential areas. Many people who have seen the court's trial announcement start to prepare. The mastermind of the criminal organization orders his subordinates to make preparations, if possible, rescue the person, if not, kill the person about to go on trial, so as not to implicate everyone.
The park's back door next to the road heard many cars, and people on the car had already come down in advance, hiding behind trees near the highway. The temporary hired killer prepared their considered powerful weapons, including civilian shotguns bought from abroad and smuggled AK-47s, one per person. After loading the bullets, they waited for the arrival of the motorcade. To their disappointment, the constabulary did not drive their usual cars; there were several armored vehicles, but only one truck. Were the people in the armored vehicle their own? The constables were still sitting on the truck?
The nervous bandit pulled the trigger, and the AK-47's intense gunfire continued to ring out. In the soundproof armored vehicle, this kind of gunshot sounded like firecrackers going off. Yu Fei held the walkie-talkie and shouted, "All vehicles stop, immediately launch a counterattack against the attackers, try not to let them escape, hurry up."
Three armored vehicles opened fire ports on the right side, six machine guns quickly fired at the guys in the woods. Other constables opened the skylight on top of the armored vehicle and fired at the enemy behind the trees from there. Wen Yong opened the rear door of the transport truck, jumped out of the car, and used the half-opened armored vehicle door as cover to fire at the enemy, with the M-16A2 rifle firing in bursts to eliminate the foolish enemies one by one.
"What's going on, why are they shooting at the truck like crazy?" Wen Yong asked while fighting back. Yu Fei got out of the car and looked at the truck behind them. The truck that was carrying twelve suspects had been shot into a beehive, with all the tires on the right side blown out, causing the truck to tilt slightly to the right. The driver inside was wearing a bulletproof vest and curled up his body to avoid bullets. Because of the bulletproof vest attached to the car door, the bullets that pierced the right side of the car door were all intercepted by the vest. The powerful bullets fired from the AK gun almost shattered the bulletproof vest. The canvas top of the truck was almost shot into a fishing net, and the twelve important suspects inside who were about to go on trial were shot until they were bloody and unrecognizable. Even if an ambulance came immediately to rescue them, their chances of survival were still slim.
"Eliminate the enemies who are approaching, the armored vehicle turns around and drives directly to the side of the road, the machine gunner puts the gun on top of the vehicle, and the others follow the vehicle to charge over, eliminating all of them, don't let them escape." Yu Fei commands his soldiers through the intercom, the entire constabulary platoon is already here, it's impossible to ask for support from others, the police won't help themselves, still relying on their own strength. He takes his rifle M-16A2 with an M203 grenade launcher attached underneath from the vehicle, loads the grenade and fires at the densely populated area of the enemy, several bandits fall to the ground and stop firing after the grenade explodes. Three rented armored transport vehicles speed into the park, the machine gunners on top quickly shoot and kill the enemies closest to them, while the other constables follow the armored vehicle, advancing and shooting continuously.
Yu Fei led the constabulary into the park, using intense firepower to shoot down the fleeing enemies. All automatic rifles and machine guns fired rapidly, striking down the bandits in droves. At this moment, a police car rushed to the back door of the park. The bandits who had stayed behind in the car, preparing to retreat at any time, saw that it was the police who had arrived. Instantly, they felt that their escape route was cut off. They took out automatic rifles and opened fire on the suddenly appearing police car. In an instant, the police car was riddled with bullets like a beehive. Wen Qian opened the car door, flipped over, and got out of the car, using her semi-automatic police pistol to counterattack against several bandits.
The military police rushed into the park and chased after the fleeing gangsters, the back door of the park erupted with even more intense gunfire. Yu Fei knew that when the police car arrived, it was because Wen Qian didn't trust him to follow her, so he intensified his attack on the gangsters. The guns in the military police's hands continued to fire deadly bullets at high speed, and the gangsters' vehicles were riddled with holes like sieves.
"I surrender, don't shoot." A frightened thug threw away his gun and raised his hands. As a character who often clashed with the police and other gangs, he had never seen such an intense attack. Thousands of bullets were fired at more than 50 thugs in an instant. These thugs, who were used to fighting and killing, were no match for the garrison troops, let alone Yu Fei, this fearless mercenary. Yu Fei went over to the surrendered thug and personally put handcuffs on him. "Take him away for interrogation, immediately clean up the battlefield, and report the ammunition consumption."
"A company used up two boxes of ammunition for the machine gun." These two boxes of bullets are four hundred rounds, and almost as soon as the battle began, the machine gunner's fingers didn't leave the trigger for long. In between, except for changing magazines, the gun hardly stopped firing. "A company used up two boxes of ammunition for the general-purpose machine gun," reported the shooter operating the M60 machine gun. After three companies finished reporting, Yu Fei understood that these people were really treating battles as target practice, wasting bullets terribly. The machine gunner had fired over 2,000 rounds, and the park's railings and trees were all shot to pieces. The infantry also started reporting their consumption. Wen Yong reported, "Consumed five magazines."
Here, the bandits really need a few more people to attack the constabulary in batches. In the end, not even one bullet may be left over. It's such a waste that it's hard to fight against the bandits' consumption. Fortunately, the bandit leader is simple-minded and doesn't understand tactics. Yu Fei handed over the captured bandits to others, he walked over to check on the police car, which had been thoroughly destroyed. Wen Qian got up from the ground, there were still two bullets stuck in her bulletproof vest, she also felt that the bulletproof clothing was a bit thin, and it really hurt when the bullets hit.
"It's so dangerous here, you shouldn't have come. What if something happens to you? I'd be worried sick." Yu Fei took a look at Wen Qian and saw that she wasn't hurt, so he felt relieved. Wen Qian put the gun back in its holster. "Do you still want to go to the courthouse? Go take a look at whether the suspect is dead or alive. If they're really dead, it's what they deserved. The crimes they committed were punishable by death, but we just didn't have enough evidence. If they're all dead, this city might be slightly better off."
Wen Qian and Yu Fei walked through the park on foot, the military police had already gotten off the truck, the truck was full of corpses, no one survived, each corpse had at least ten bullet holes or more. "They got what they deserved, it's just a pity that they died at their own people's hands, usually talking about brotherhood is all nonsense, in the end it's still every man for himself." Wen Qian stood on the highway, the police car was broken and could only hitch a ride back to the city to report to her superiors.
"Mo Yan, assemble the troops and leave two armored vehicles and two squads to watch the scene until I return. I'll go inform the judge to adjourn the court." Yu Fei got into the car and looked at Wen Qian standing beside him, "Come with me to the courthouse for a bit, we'll be back soon. Those people are all dead, so there's no one threatening our safety anymore."
An armed escort vehicle arrived at the courthouse, and the bailiffs heard the sound of gunfire hundreds of meters away. They took out their rifles and prepared for battle, fully armed. The bailiffs protected the three-story building inside and out. The judge waited in court for the defendant's arrival. The prosecutor sat on the right side of the public prosecutor's seat, looking drowsy. Yu Fei walked into the courtroom with several soldiers, politely looking at Judge Chen Jiafang: "Your Honor, the defendants cannot appear in court. They have been killed by their own accomplices. We are still blocking the scene, and all these people are dead. Their gambling crimes do not need to be tried."
Judge Chen Jiafang, dressed in her judicial robes, let out a long sigh. It seemed that today's work was going to be quite easy. If all the criminal suspects were going to die at the hands of their own accomplices, then what was the point of being a judge? This high-paying job was almost too good to be true. She said politely, "You can continue investigating the case. If you need the court to issue an arrest warrant, feel free to contact me anytime. You can even call me after I get off work." Then she handed over her business card.
