New Gods of North America.

Chapter 496 Report the crime
"Fire in the hole!"

"Bang, bang, bang."

At five o'clock in the morning, as several agents shouted their lines one after another, Molotov cocktails filled with kerosene, asphalt, sulfur, and cotton strips broke through the glass one after another and flew into a private house.

Ryan felt like he was a little behind the times. As the "strange noise" kicked open the back door of the house, he took a break from his busy schedule to ask Liam, who was also in his three-man team, "What does this mean?"

Liam had already used his extraordinary ability in the thick smoke, and his figure became a little vague in the smoke and darkness. "I'm not sure, but the boss would occasionally shout this after throwing explosives before."

There were two guards near the back door, both of whom were already reaching for their pistols. "Yi Xiang" hid behind the nearest obstacle and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, an explosion sounded on the other side of the two men.

Then, taking advantage of their distraction, Liam, in a transparent state, pounced on one of them in the smoke and engaged in close combat with him. Ryan also suddenly implanted a picture in front of the other one. The theme was a picture magazine that Ryan had recently seen, and the focus was the shiny headlights of a sexy girl.

“It’s good to have the cover of smoke bombs. It’s rare that the boss approves us to use our abilities on ordinary people.” Liam quickly stood up and clapped his hands.

After Ryan knocked his opponent unconscious with the butt of his gun, he also tapped Liam on the back of the head and said, "Keep a low profile. The police are outside. If you are seen by ordinary people, be careful that Miss Lina will punish you to report to the cathedral by yourself."

"Yes, sir!"

……

Sheriff William in the carriage saw the commotion caused by the detectives breaking into the house from several places at the same time, and he quickly realized that something was wrong. "Mr. Wayne, this is not the method you should use to arrest an ordinary criminal, right?"

A police officer who was also left in the carriage nodded slightly, agreeing with Sheriff William's opinion.

Wayne, who was blocking the door, smiled and explained, "Before, we didn't understand the situation. This is the usual style of our detective agency."

After bringing Chief Inspector William and several police officers from the police station, the detective agency did not inform them in advance and launched the attack as planned as soon as they arrived.

Considering that this is the base of the local spy organization, Wayne ordered the agents to use their extraordinary abilities to strive for a quick victory and not give the other party time to transfer the accomplices of the assassination case again, and of course not to let the other party silence them.

Sheriff William and the police officers are now witnesses to the detective agency's actions, and are also alternative options for Wayne to pull out to take the blame.

Wayne had already thought of an excuse. He would say that the detective agency had received a tip that an accomplice of the assassin was in the house.
As for where the other people in the house came from, Wayne couldn't explain.

Anyway, for those who can get along with bad guys, even if facing a jury, Wayne can say, "Just hit me. There's no need to worry about so many things in an emergency."

The bustle in the house did not last long, but the noise intensity in a short period of time was actually quite high. Many houses nearby started lighting up their lights, and some residents were looking out of their windows.
Sheriff William was only "slightly dissatisfied" at first, but when he saw the captives being escorted out of the house one after another by the detectives, his expression quickly changed.

Unfortunately, Wayne had already started shouting to the nearby houses: "Please rest assured, residents. This is a police operation. You may be able to read about the situation in the newspapers in a few days. It is the wise and intelligent Sheriff William who is leading the police officers to solve organized crimes."

The enthusiasm of the city dwellers was still a little less than that of the small town residents. It might also be because the culture of each neighborhood was different. After shouting this time, no one cheered or applauded.
Many of the curtains were quickly drawn back again, and the lights gradually dimmed, making the place seem a little cold.

Wayne turned around with a bit of boredom, and saw that Sheriff William's face had turned red. "You are slandering me! I will complain to my superiors!"

Very energetic... Wayne and Lina next to him looked at each other, then looked at Sheriff William in unison, and blinked innocently, pretending not to know what he was talking about.

……

In return for the friendly attitude of the local secret service, Wayne asked the agents to try to capture him alive tonight to avoid causing too many casualties.

But Wayne and Lina actually didn't like their previous polite way, so they didn't mind some minor bumps.

At first, Wayne thought that the bruises on the captives' faces were retribution for their evil deeds, but Ryan quickly came over to report the situation:

"This looks like a 'safe house' used to temporarily detain prisoners. We didn't find any clues like internal letters. There are five guards in the base, and it seems that only the sleeping captain is a Beyonder. They all punched him in the face twice as Miss Lina ordered."

Ah this...

The latter quickly jumped into the carriage behind when Wayne turned his head, once again showing her innocence. Wayne could only "forget it" and find another opportunity to deal with her.

It's not surprising that there are Extraordinary people in the spy organization. It's also normal for Extraordinary people to be promoted faster in specific industries. However, according to the ratio, it seems that there are quite a few Extraordinary people in the local spy organization...

After having a rough idea in mind, the detective agency was careful this time. Before packing the people and transporting them to the police station, they recorded their facial features and took their fingerprints for record. If they ran away, they would directly apply for a wanted warrant to let them see what "the net of heaven is vast and long, and nothing can escape it" means.

So the troops were divided into two groups.

Lina, who had just been released for some fresh air and had already started causing trouble, and Willy and several other agents continued to stay here to collect evidence, while Wayne and Sheriff William, who had obviously reacted, led a large group back to the police station.

No matter how innocent they pretended to be, the detective agency had kicked the local secret service organization under the table tonight, so Wayne was brewing a plan in his mind, waiting for the other party's follow-up to see if there was any room for negotiation.
The ideal situation is that Mr. Walter would pick a relatively important subordinate to take the blame and admit that the local secret service organization had problems in this matter. In this way, the detective agency can basically get away with it, and then retreat to George Berg to watch the big guys wrestle and pull hair with each other.

The more unfavorable situation is that Mr. Walter will not get into any trouble in the end, but the detective agency will be completely hated by the other party. Then the business will probably become more difficult to do in the future, and it may even be targeted in various ways.

But they had to give it a try tonight. The clue of "the local secret service organization knew about it in advance" was provided by Reverend Tyrell. If the detective agency didn't show its attitude, this might be a handle that Reverend Tyrell could use to control the detective agency. If he reported this to Bishop Corleone first, the detective agency's position would instantly become suspicious, and even the franchise might be confiscated.

So Wayne can only continue to "stick to the facts" and "be impartial", otherwise his character will collapse, and the detective agency's refusal to cooperate in the design of Mr. Walter will easily be regarded as "taking sides". If he wants to please both sides, he will be destroyed by both sides and the cathedral.

Therefore, after arriving at the police station, Wayne only focused on interrogating the accomplice of the assassin, and kept the remaining prisoners alone, waiting for Mr. Walter's response.

Since Chief Inspector William was obviously upset, many police officers who were barely familiar with the detective agency began to keep their distance. It was not until dawn that a police officer came to find Wayne:
"Mr. Wayne, a young lady came to report a crime. She is very beautiful. Her case should be related to your detective agency."

Ok? !

Wayne has a bit of PTSD, but he wouldn't go so far as to frame someone, right?
