The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 150: Basic Human Needs

The muffled sound in the court suddenly alerted the reporters.

Cameras were all pointed, and people were trying to get into the police cordon from all sorts of places to interview Jim.

But what no one expected was that about three minutes later, the court door opened and the SWAT team walked out with the hostages.

No, this seems to be a little different from what I thought.

Shouldn't the explosion have caused something big? Why did it end after the explosion?
Outsiders didn't know, but Jim knew.

SWAT rushed over after hearing the gunshots and explosions, but when they arrived, people were already lying on the ground.

All the drug dealers were lying on the ground, with bloody holes on their bodies proving that they probably wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow.

The door of the evidence room was riddled with bullet holes, and there was also a big hole in the door of the evidence room. The security guards and several bailiffs all fell in the evidence room.

They were lucky enough to just faint but not die.

The fire alarm was set off by a burning evidence room, but fortunately it is now under control by the automatic firefighting system.

Jim made a call: "Judge Byron, I think we should talk."

In Silver Lake Villa, Xiunuo was looking at his mobile phone.

The news from last night has already come out, but in a very absurd way.

According to the news reports, a group of panicked drug dealers broke into the court. They thought they could grab a hostage and escape, but they were beaten by the court security and fled in panic.

In the end, they were all wiped out by SWAT and the court’s security forces.

In the words of the media, this is the dumbest group of drug dealers in history.

The LAPD later reported that traces of contraband were found in the bodies of these people.

So, now this matter has become a case of a group of drug dealers who were high on drugs and broke into the court and killed themselves for some unknown reason.

As for the public's reaction, it's all just for fun.

"I looked at the location several times before I was sure it happened in California, not Florida."

"I heard that a candidate in Los Angeles wants to give out contraband for free. Isn't he afraid that a group of high-drinkers will break into his villa?"

Xiunuo put down his phone and looked at Jonas: "It seems that nothing about evidence was mentioned."

Jonas laughed. "It's a tacit understanding between state employees. But it did happen. It just hasn't been announced to the public. I heard from Jim that the FBI has already started investigating."

"Oh? What are you investigating? The LAPD or the DEA? It can't be the court, right?"

"Of course not. According to what Jim said, Robin complained to him. They suspected that the missing information in the evidence room was definitely not simple, so they planned to start with the destroyed evidence to see whose case it was related to."

"The bad news is that there is John's case. The good news is that the FBI didn't think that such an unlucky homeless man would have this ability. Even if I was defending him, they just thought I was a civil rights lawyer who wanted to gain support from minority groups."

Xiu Nuo laughed: "That's right. A lawyer and a homeless man, they would never be involved in destroying evidence. If they even doubt you, then they are actually doubting themselves. So, someone is helping to take the blame, right?"

"Two city government officials. And two big bosses of the group. The FBI should be keeping a close eye on them now." Jonas smiled happily: "But unfortunately, they are destined to not find out what connection these people have with this case."

"But that doesn't mean we won't find out something else. But that has nothing to do with us." Xiu Nuo stretched and said, "I've been a bit free lately. How's Zhao Hong doing?"

"According to what you said, the prosecutors and the LAPD's evidence storage were tampered with. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would think that they must have investigated some serious case. Everyone is thinking big, but they would never have thought that such a big fuss was just to get a homeless guy out of jail."

"You can't say that, Jonas. At least someone has benefited from it." Xiunuo stood up.

He knew that Zhao Hong was very satisfied with the job of dealing with drug dealers, at least he could get a job. Although he had to leave some money to the DEA, it was much better than not being able to do anything before.

The drug dealers and gangs in Los Angeles are in trouble.

On one side, there is a living devil who wants to kill them, and on the other side, there are a group of powerful people who they usually don't mess with who want to settle accounts with them.

These drug dealers themselves don’t even know what important role they play in Los Angeles.

If they knew, they would definitely feel that they are unworthy of taking on such an important task!

Xiunuo looked at Jonas and said, "Go tell Dak that it's time for him to do his job. After some current forces are eliminated, new forces will inevitably join. Let him show some momentum. He has more experience than me in dealing with these people."

"I understand, boss."

In the days that followed, the people of Los Angeles felt that they were living a delicate life, a life that was safe yet dangerous.

After experiencing all the bad things in the past few months, people in Los Angeles never thought that there were so many demons in the place where they grew up. They wondered if this place was abandoned by God.

But in recent days, God seemed to have remembered that he still has many believers here.

First, the warrior John who was convicted a few months ago was acquitted due to insufficient evidence, but he needed to receive psychological treatment.

Then the DEA and LAPD were like writing a weekly report, busting a drug trafficking gang every few days.

Although gunshots can often be heard in Los Angeles at night, these police officers are invincible like Superman.

It would just be nice if there were less smoke of contraband floating over Los Angeles.

I don't know who spread the news, but the sentencing standards for contraband are now strict, but they must be caught in the act, so many drug dealers will choose to destroy the contraband when they find they are about to be caught.

As for why it was burned instead of poured into the sewer, it was because after it was burned, the DEA didn't dare to pursue it aggressively. They needed to put out the fire to reduce the impact.

Although we don’t know whether it is true or not, at least everyone now thinks it makes sense.

Many normal people don’t know that there are so many criminals in Los Angeles, while many abnormal people have no way to express their grievances.

As the DEA took down more and more drug dealers, they found that the price of contraband began to rise.

Hemp that used to cost five dollars has now risen to thirty dollars, and judging by the trend, it will continue to rise, but the momentum is getting weaker and weaker.

I have thirty dollars to buy this crap. Can't I buy a book instead?

Yes, these people are extremely angry that the price of hemp has become as expensive as book knowledge.

However, drug addicts cannot control themselves when they are in withdrawal mode. Although law enforcement agencies have been cracking down on criminal activities, the crime rate in Los Angeles is rising sharply.

In the past, people didn't dare to go out on the streets at night, but there were always brave ones. Now, there are almost no normal people on the streets of Los Angeles at night. There are even many people who rob during the day, and the frequency of home robberies is much higher than before.

So, after the filter faded, the demand for a safe environment turned into a curse on the LAPD's incompetence.

You know, according to the pyramid of needs, human security needs are the second largest needs after physiological needs such as food and clothing.

There are even abnormal people mixed in, demanding that the DEA stop persecuting drug dealers!

Xiunuo almost couldn't hold back after seeing this news.

It was also in this environment that a government-run legal injection site suddenly announced that it would provide safe and healthy contraband services free of charge.
