America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 295 Catch them all in one fell swoop

The surveillance video clearly showed that three black men sneaked into the house through the back door, shot Daisy and John, and when they heard the noise from the front door, they escaped through the back door and got into a Toyota and left.

The Toyota's license plate number was also clearly visible.

The death of his beloved dog angered Marcus. He took a large coat and put it on the outside of his tactical vest. He said to Kane and Martin, "Please wait for the LAPD. I will be back soon. They should not have gone far."

Chad was the first to say, "Calm down, man!"

Martin grabbed Marcus' arm and said the truth in a tone that seemed to be persuasive: "You have to finish what you start. You told me about your experience in Afghanistan. I have contacted the right author to prepare for the subsequent memoir and film adaptation. Do you plan to let me go to the prison every day to discuss the project with you?"

At first, these words sounded very businesslike, but they were a bit heartwarming to Marcus. He said in a deep and powerful voice, "Martin, thank you for your concern. I won't be impulsive. But they killed my dog. I can't let them go. I have to catch them with my own hands!"

Chad was worried: "I'll go with you."

The two men walked out in a hurry.

"For Daisy!" Before leaving, Marcus looked back at the bodies of his beloved dogs and patted his chest, "For John!"

This scene made Martin feel as if he saw the real version of John Wick.

A crazy pursuit for a dog?

He couldn't help but think of the movie he was going to discuss when Chad was older and more capable.

Unexpectedly, a similar situation happened right before my eyes.

One man, one dog and one gun!
You want my life, and I want yours?

Even, they would kill the murderer's entire family and wipe out his gang.

For Martin, the John Wick series is not like those movies that he has watched for more than ten years, some of which he has even forgotten their English names. He had watched the fourth movie before he was suffocated to death by the balloon, so his memory is relatively clear.

Marcus chases down four bastards for his beloved dog.

Martin believed that the value of this retired Navy SEAL was not just in his memoirs, so he nodded to Old Bull and followed him.

When Kane saw that everyone had left, he quickly shouted, "You left me here?"

Martin took out his wallet, pulled out the card given by the LAPD, and threw it to Kane: "The PD is here, show this to them."

Kane recognized this thing and responded, "Be careful."

Martin went out and got in the Escalade, and Bruce immediately accelerated and caught up with Marcus' pickup truck.

The two cars turned to the back door, which was a one-way street leading directly out of the community.

The pickup truck in front was accelerating, and it wasn't hard for Bruce to follow.

Martin checked his pistol and saw the scenery rapidly receding outside the car window. He had the illusion that he was chasing the murderer.

The two cars drove out of the community quickly.

Originally, Martin had no hope of finding the murderer. A normal person would have left as quickly as possible at this time.

Maybe the brain circuits of black people are different from those of normal people, or maybe they have no brains at all.

As soon as he left the community, Martin saw the Toyota car driving slowly southward in front of him.

The four of them had seen the car and the license plate number on the surveillance camera, so there was no way they could have made a mistake.

Martin didn't want to see a gunfight in the street, and didn't want Marcus to go to jail, so he took out his cell phone, called Chad, and said, "Tell Marcus not to be impulsive, follow them and find their lair!"

He grasped Marcus's psychology and said deliberately: "Black people like to stick together, especially these smashers, who like to form gangs the most. They must have accomplices. We should follow them, find their nest, and catch them all in one fell swoop. Only in this way can we completely avenge Daisy and John!"

Chad turned on the speaker, and Marcus could hear it clearly. He said, "Old Bull, let's cross-track."

Bruce replied: "No problem, just follow me first, I will let you know in advance when I go up."

Marcus and Bruce took turns following, and the black man in the car in front didn't even notice that there was a tail behind them.

They arrived at a warehouse near a small pier on the Santa Monica beach. The Toyota parked on the side of the road and four black men got into the warehouse.

Bruce stopped the car far away.

Martin immediately called McClain of the LAPD.

Seeing Chad and Marcus get out of the pickup truck, Martin and Bruce also got out of the Escalade.

Marcus took out a military telescope and looked at the warehouse in the distance.

Seeing that he had calmed down a little, Bruce said, "They are just some brainless savages. There is no need to fight them head-on. Martin has already called the police, and they will be here soon. Once they are in prison, there are other ways to deal with them..."

Marcus nodded: "I won't do anything rash." He glanced at Martin. Since he was helping him so much, it would be bad to cause him huge trouble: "Let's solve it through formal channels first."

Martin patted his arm and said, "Wait a moment, the LAPD will be here soon."

Bruce took Marcus's binoculars and looked over there carefully. He saw more than just the four black men and said, "The chances of black gangs like those in Los Angeles not being involved in drugs are so small that they can be ignored."

Martin didn't want to attract attention and returned to the car.

Chad whispered to Marcus, "You just came back from Afghanistan. You need to adapt to the way things are done back home. Los Angeles is not about fighting and killing."

Marcus saw a large group of police cars coming in the distance: "There are also social etiquette." Chad gave a thumbs up: "If you understand this, it will be much easier to survive in Hollywood."

As the largest violent organization in Los Angeles arrived, the seven or eight black people in the warehouse were arrested without any resistance.

Those black people are quite smart. They probably think that they haven't committed a serious crime and if they don't resist, they will just stay in prison for a few months, or at most one or two years, and they will still be having fun when they get out.

If they resisted, with their black skins, their magazines would definitely be emptied.

Martin made a few more calls, then told Marcus, "A large amount of illegal drugs was found at the scene. They won't be able to get out in a short time."

The LAPD assured that it would handle the case impartially.

Marcus said, "I see. Thank you, Martin, for giving me the opportunity to help..."

Martin raised his hand to interrupt him: "What comes next has nothing to do with me."

Marcus understood that the other party was a public figure, so he nodded immediately and remembered the favor.

As for what he will do next, what he is doing in Afghanistan is counter-terrorism.

Marcus also has many comrades in Los Angeles.

The four men left together in two cars and returned to Marcus' residence.

It was not appropriate to talk about other things today, so Martin, Chad and Bruce said goodbye quickly, and Kane stayed to take care of the funeral of the two Labradors with Marcus.

Because it involves a case of animal cruelty, it needs to be frozen temporarily.

In this regard, Kane sought help from a professional agency.

After the house was cleaned up, Kane saw that Marcus was in a bad mood and said, "They don't want to see you continue to be depressed in heaven."

Marcus brought two bottles of beer and gave one to Kane: "I will cheer up again tomorrow. I have a new goal."

“This is a great opportunity,” Kane said.

Marcus opened his beer on the door frame and said, "Martin is a good guy."

Kane still reminded him: "He is indeed a good person. Among Hollywood stars, he is the type who can clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment. But he can do this, so your experience is valuable."

Marcus has experienced life and death, so he can see things clearly: "People without value will be thrown into the garbage dump wherever they go, just like the weaklings eliminated by the army."

Kane said, “Hold your path.”

Marcus nodded seriously.

…………

On the other side, Martin, Bruce and Chad found a place to have lunch.

Bruce enjoyed the delicious Brazilian barbecue very much.

Chad put his knife and fork down very slowly, obviously thinking about something.

Martin drank a glass of lemonade and said, "Marcus and Daisy and John reminded me of The Hills Have Eyes."

Bruce ignored all that and continued eating.

Chad looked up at Martin.

Martin continued, "If we hadn't happened to run into them, Marcus would have been considered an alternative man with one gun and one dog. With his rich combat experience, it shouldn't have been difficult for him to kill those who smashed them if he launched a sneak attack."

Bruce added: "Marcus can kill those people head-on."

"You are an expert in action scene design." Martin asked Chad directly: "Can this be adapted into an action movie?"

Chad was just thinking about this, and after hearing Martin's words, his thoughts gradually became clear: "A retired military action expert, who only has a dog as a companion when he returns home. Some bastards break into his home and kill his dog. He picks up the gun he had put down long ago and avenges the dog?"

He then shook his head: "This would be a different kind of Rambo, which is not appropriate."

Martin took a sip of lemonade. "You can change it to a killer, like Wesley. He chose to quit the killer business in order to marry the person he loved. As a result, his wife died of a terminal illness, leaving only his beloved dog to accompany him. In this way, the dog has a very special meaning to him, and the subsequent outburst is convincing."

Chad pondered for a moment and said, "That makes sense! The assassin industry is very special. It is very troublesome to get in and out. His past is bound to haunt him endlessly, and even the assassin forces will not let him go easily. The person who killed his dog can be designed as a powerful assassin organization..."

"Maybe we can design it into an alliance of multiple killer organizations?" Martin roughly described the concepts such as the Continental Hotel and the high table.

Chad simply took a napkin and carefully wrote down everything he and Martin discussed.

Bruce suddenly interrupted: "You guys are going to make an action movie, I think it's better to make it quick and clean. I've been surfing the Internet a lot lately and I found that netizens are very unhappy with those action scenes that are too long-winded and dragging, especially those where the villains who talk too much die."

Martin said directly: "The response to Wanted was very good, and the cool and exciting action scenes were the most praised. Why don't we make an action movie that is even cooler than Wanted?"

He was talking about his own feelings: "There is no excessive or complicated emotional exchange, let alone discussing human nature and philosophical thinking with the killer. I'm already a killer, why do I still think about these things? Are you crazy?"

Chad grasped Martin's intention: "The protagonist's charm is brought to the extreme, and he simply kills from beginning to end?"

Martin said, "Think about it carefully."

Before Martin could finish his sentence, Chad said, "I'll come up with an outline as a contract project with the studio."
