Shadow Empire

Chapter 810 cosplay
"Did they?"

In an office, some gentlemen who look like they are not easy to mess with are sitting together, staring at a fat man sitting behind a desk.

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head. "They didn't tell me, nor did they leave me any contact information, but they said they would let someone here contact me."

Sitting in the room were the leaders of the New Bern city gangs. With the encouragement of the state police chief and the local police chief, they were persuaded to work together to fight against the Lans family from Likalai State.

In fact, there is another driving force behind this matter, the Perez family.

The Perez family suffered a great loss at the hands of Lance. Although they have now reached peace talks, they have given up on further confrontation under pressure from the top.

But this does not mean that the hatred really ends here!
They have lost so much face that they can't save it themselves now, but they can spend money and let others cause trouble for Lance.

They had originally supported some gangs to fight against the minions of the Lance family. Now that they have received some new information, they have become more proactive.

Their original idea was to trick the Lance family members into giving them their phone numbers. With these numbers, they could easily find out where these people were living through the telegraph office.

With the address, wouldn't it be easy to catch them?
But the other party... they didn't know whether it was a warning or for some other reason, so they never revealed it.

One of them looked at Karl with an unhappy expression, “Did you leak something?”

Carl immediately raised three fingers and said, "I swear to God, I definitely didn't reveal any information!"

"Guys, I'm from Indeno, not Likalai, we are the same group!"

He quickly expressed his loyalty.

In this city, the Imperial gang is not very strong, so it cannot be said that Carl’s choice was wrong. From his point of view, what he chose was the most correct path.

Even if the Lance family is very powerful in Likalai Province, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot take care of this place.

He could just bite the bullet and refuse to cooperate with these people, but what would be the consequences?

These local gangs may unite and destroy his gang.

Considering his own survival and that of the gang, he sided with these people without much choice.

"You better not!", the man who spoke glared at him, "What do we do now?"

"Our people are already on the streets, and we haven't found anything so far. Are they really in the city?"

Another person said, "If they are not in the city, how can they be in the wilderness?"

"The witnesses said they saw them, so they must be in the city. I just don't know where they are hiding, or have they left?"

The group of people had no idea who was coming from the Lance family. They didn't know who was coming, they just knew it must be a cadre.

However, we can't find anyone now and there are no clues. We can only continue to maintain the high-intensity search work, hoping to find it here.

But what they didn't know was that Lance had already retreated strategically, and another group of people had almost arrived in Red Stone City at this time.

After more than two days of travel, Alvin and his crew drove at high speed for 24 hours and had entered the outskirts of Red Stone City.

Sheriff Matthew and the Chief of the State Police Department would never have imagined that the Lance family would come to Red Stone City at this time. They also believed that the Lance family would find a way to take action against Chief Matthew.

Although Sheriff Matthew had made some arrangements, they were still too lax.

A car slowly stopped outside the gate of the villa area, and Alvin observed the entry and exit of the gate of the villa area from a close distance.

"It doesn't look like we're going to have a good entry."

Alan lit a cigarette. There was a double door on the road leading to the villa area. The two doors looked very solid and heavy.

There are four security guards on duty in the security room. Except for people they know, strangers entering and leaving need to register and obtain permission from the owner before the door can be opened.

Erwin looked at it for a while and scratched his head. "Go make a phone call and try."

Alan knew what he meant, so he walked to the nearby telephone booth and called the local police.

"Yes... I'm in trouble. Someone broke into my house. Arrange for someone to come over quickly!"

"I'm in...the villa area...Okay, hurry up!"

After he hung up the phone, he sat back in the car and glanced at the time on the dial.

"I told them a guy broke into my house and they should be here soon."

Alvin nodded. If they couldn't trick the gate of the villa area open, then they would have to consider whether it was possible to take these people away by force.

So they need to know how long the police support will take, a few minutes or more than ten minutes.

As a result, less than seven minutes later, four police cars approached here. They communicated with the security guard at the door for a while, and then entered the villa area with the security guard.

Alan glanced down, "Seven minutes."

Erwin shook his head. "In seven minutes, we can't even find the location of the villa, let alone deal with the people inside and bring the people we want out."

He felt that the situation was a bit tricky, so Alan made a suggestion, "What if... we pretend to be police officers?"

"You see, they got in easily. If we pretend to be police officers, it might be convenient."

"We have the address. The security guard will take us there, and we can get closer to the villa and the people inside without causing them to be nervous."

"When the time comes, kill the bodyguards and security guards, and then take them away."

Erwin thought about it seriously. Alan's suggestion was indeed good. It was much better than methods like brute force.

As they were talking, a police car came out and they realized that it was a false alarm, perhaps someone had called the police falsely or provided a wrong location.

They arrived at the villa that the person who called the police mentioned, found that no one had called the police, and left quickly.

This kind of thing can’t be said to happen often, but it does happen.

After the security guard handed over the matter to them for a while, the four police cars slowly left.

Erwin's gaze shifted from the departing police cars to the very high walls and anti-climbing measures surrounding the villa area.

The smooth 90-degree wall, which is at least three or four meters long, plus the exaggerated anti-climbing guardrails on the top of the wall, make it unlikely to climb in without alerting others.

He thought for a while and nodded, "We can give it a try. The problem now is that we need to get a few police cars and police uniforms."

As he said this, he stepped on the accelerator, started the car, and left.

"Police cars are easy to get." Alan said as the car drove towards their temporary hiding place, "The parking lot in the police station is full of police cars."

He took out the lock picking tool developed by the locksmith that Lance suggested, a very convenient one.

After simple training, even people like Allen and Erwin who are not proficient in lock picking can easily open locks of all sizes in a very short time, just a few seconds.

Nowadays, pin and tumbler locks are still the main type of locks. Before a new generation of locks appears, they cannot defend against these lock picks at all.

"Then the remaining issue is the police uniform."

Ten minutes later, they returned to their temporary hiding place. Irvin sat opposite Officer David. He was tied to a chair with ropes firmly tying him to the chair.

Not to mention falling down and using the corner of the wall to cut the rope, it was difficult for him to even move, and someone was watching him.

"Do you have any friends who are police officers in Redstone City?" Erwin asked.

The tall policeman hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes."

At this time, 70 to 80 percent of the police force come from training centers that specialize in cultivating relevant professions, such as police academies.

Applying to the police academy is not a complicated matter. You just need to be a federal citizen and graduate from high school, and then you can apply to the police academy.

The Police Academy is not a university, nor even a technical college. It can only be considered a short-term technical training center. The time from admission to graduation ranges from six months to two years.

Some trainees with average performance will be allowed to graduate after six months, and they will be recommended to serve in the local police station where they want to go.

Some who perform well in the training will be retained to receive more advanced professional knowledge training. After graduation, these people will be recommended to work in local areas, and their starting point will be higher. They are trained as police officers, not just police officers. Police officer David is a police officer who graduated from the police academy, so many of his "classmates" work nearby.

He joined the state police only because he was deceived by the person who recommended him. They said the state police had better benefits. He didn't actually know this, so he chose to go to the state police.

When he arrived at the State Police Department and was assigned to the Highway Police Department, he realized how stupid his choice was.

Some of his classmates, who knew this well, basically stayed in the city police department.

He didn't even ask Erwin why he was asking this, but proactively provided Erwin with a name and a contact number. At this point, he had completely let it go, and his active cooperation had only one purpose -

That is, after all this is over, this group of people can save his life, and he doesn't want to die.

Staying alive is always the ultimate goal of all living things.

In order to survive, humans can do things that they themselves cannot believe!
Half an hour later, Allen arrived at a branch office. He smiled at the receptionist at the front desk and asked, "I want to find someone."

Alan looks pretty good. Since he followed Lance, a series of changes have given him a better temperament.

Temperament is a very wonderful thing. When a group of people stand together, if one person has better temperament than the others, you can see it at a glance.

Temperament can add a kind of charm to people and also make people feel good about them.

The police officer at the front desk was a young girl. She looked at Allen and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily. "Who do you want to see?"

She just thought that this young man who looked to be the same age as her was very special, so she naturally spoke a lot more gently.

Alan said the name provided by the tall police officer, "I have something I want to consult him about. Is he here now?"

The female police officer didn't even ask for Allen's name, she just nodded and said, "Go to the office lobby on the third floor. He's at No. 12, Area A."

Alan said thank you and turned to go upstairs. He had a hunch that if he continued to tease her for a while, perhaps the policewoman wouldn't mind going out for dinner with him in the evening.

But now was not the time to deal with these things, so he quickly went to the third floor and found the police officer in the lobby.

The police officer was sitting behind his desk, reading a magazine idly. When Alan's shadow blocked some of the light and appeared beside him, he looked up at Alan in confusion.

"I don't know you!" The police officer put down the magazine. This is a police station and he doesn't feel he is in danger.

He leaned back in his chair and looked Alan up and down. He was a little confused about the origin of this young man.

There is something very strange about him. He can't describe it, but he is definitely not an ordinary person.

"David recommended me. Officer David, the highway policeman."

When Allen said the name, the police officer was stunned for a moment, and the vigilant expression on his face softened a lot, "David?"

"Well, we're good friends, what do you want to do?"

He said, standing up on his own initiative, "Let's go talk over there."

The two came to the corridor outside the office, where there were relatively few people coming and going.

Allen offered him a cigarette. The police officer looked at the pack of cigarettes worth one dollar and ninety-nine cents and his expression softened.

These days, rich people and powerful people are all the same, and as a policeman, he feels this more clearly than ordinary people.

After the two of them got together and lit up a cigarette, his face was all smiles, "David and I are like brothers, just tell me what you want to say!"

The tall policeman had made a lot of money over the years. As his friend, the police officer was well aware of this. He subconsciously thought that this was a rich man introduced by David.

Working for rich people will definitely not be in vain.

Although his income is not bad, he probably won't smoke cigarettes that cost two yuan a pack.

Allen smiled and said, "My boss is planning to come to Hongshi City to invest in some business, but there are some things he is not too familiar with, so he needs to find someone to consult."

The police officer was a little curious. "If you want to consult about these things, you should go to the city hall. They have consulting services and offices open specifically to investors."

He didn't react at first, until Alan reminded him, "Our business...may need a little extra 'care'."

After hearing this, the police officer seemed to understand a little bit, and a smile appeared on his face even more.

If special care is needed, doesn't it mean that the police need to give some special care?
"What are you going to do?"

“How big is the scale and how much investment is required?”

Alan looked at both sides of the corridor, "Why don't we find a place outside to sit down and talk?"

The police officer did not hesitate, "Okay, wait for me downstairs..."

A few minutes later, the police officer got into Allen's car. He and Allen were sitting in the back seat. There were people in the driver's seat and the passenger seat, but he didn't care much.

After the car started, he was about to say something when something cold pressed against his temple. "If I were you, I wouldn't do anything that would cause misunderstanding."

Twenty minutes later, the police officer appeared in front of the tall policeman. He glared at Officer David without saying a word.

But everyone could see that he hated his good friend to the point of a hole!
It's too late to say anything now.

He sat obediently on the chair and was tied up so tightly that he couldn't even struggle.

Erwin stood in front of him, "There is something I want to consult. If your answer satisfies me, then you and your friend can live."

"If your answer does not satisfy me..."

He didn't continue. Sometimes the unknown is the most frightening.

Officer David looked at his friend with pleading eyes. What else could the other party do except sigh helplessly?
"What can I do for you?"

Erwin was very satisfied with his attitude. "If I want to get a batch of police uniforms, where can I go?"

Although the police officer didn't know why they needed a batch of police uniforms and what to do with them after getting them, he knew that he also wanted to live.

Later, Alvin was adjusting his police uniform in front of the mirror. The person in the mirror had a tall and straight figure and a good temperament. He even raised his hand and saluted, looking very handsome!

Then he couldn't help laughing because he saw more brothers who had changed their clothes coming out of the room.

"Officer Allen?"

"Officer Erwin!"

I have to say, it really looks like that.

At around five in the afternoon, as the evening rush hour was about to begin, four police cars arrived again at the gate of the villa area.

As soon as they approached the villa area, they turned off the sirens, which was also the result of their previous observations.

The people living here are all rich people. They don’t like to be disturbed by sirens and may even be frightened by them, so when the police car approaches, the sirens will be stopped.

Alan had one hand on the open car door. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses and biting a chewing gum, looking particularly relaxed.

Two security guards came out of the security room immediately. Allen showed the officer's badge and said, "Someone called the police and said his house was invaded."

The security guard sighed, "It must be someone's prank again."

But he didn't dare to tell the police not to go in. After checking the badge to make sure it was real, he took out the registration book and asked, "Can you sign it?"

"police officer?"

Alan took a pen and casually wrote his name which matched the name on the police badge, but he used a little force and the security guard did not hold up the registration book, so the signature was a little sloppy, but it was still visible.

The security guard didn't think much of it, "I have to go over there with your car and take a look."

Alan motioned for him to get in the car. "That's great. Can you show us where it is? My colleague said it's very big..."
