US police: outlaws

Chapter 79 Madman Killer

Chapter 80 Madman Killer

Hunter Moss Cohen from Lano Town is heading to a city with money. Not long ago, he discovered a double-cross in the desert drug deal where the dealer took $400 million without killing anyone, leaving a man who had been shot and was on the verge of death to die.

He didn't want to get his hands dirty and thought the man would die quickly under the scorching sun, but he was clearly wrong.

My phone suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

"You need to meet with me."

"Who are you?"

"You should know who I am. You took what you shouldn't have taken."

These words caused Moss Cohen's pupils to shrink slightly; he realized he had been exposed.

The assassin, named Anton Baden, spoke calmly and in a low voice.

"You need to talk to me."

"I don't need to talk to you."

"I think you need to know where I'm going."

Why should I care where you go?

"I know where your wife is."

'

'

Anton Baden continued.

"So here's my advice: give me the money, and I'll let her go. Otherwise, she'll die just like you. That's the best deal you can get."

"Beep beep beep".

The phone call ended, clearly indicating that Moss Cohen did not accept the deal that would cost him his life.

"Moss Cohen, you've made a terrible decision."

The assassin, dressed in black and sporting strangely long hair, had actually arrived in the town of Lano.

Anton Baden watched as the tracker showed that the target had just left Lano Town. He didn't rush to give chase. As a killer who kept his promises, he had to do what he promised.

At the Moss Cohen house, just as Julia Green received a call from her husband, who told her to go back to her parents' house first.

The lock on the door was flung off by a force, and a man in black walked in, holding a spring-loaded gun used for slaughtering livestock. He used high-pressure gas to activate a small hammer that pierced the animal's skull.

"Hi, Julia."

"The two looked into each other's eyes, and the woman's eyes showed only fear."

The woman was forced back into the hall. Anton and Baden sat on the sofa and spoke calmly.

"Your husband chose money over you, so I've come to you."

'

'

Anton Baden took a coin out of his pocket.

"Your fate will be decided by a coin toss. Guess."

The woman's eyes were filled with tears.

"Please, let me go, please."

Don't cry, maybe fate is on your side.

Shortly after, the door opened, and Anton Baden calmly entered a small convenience store, bought a bag of his favorite snacks, as if he had not just committed a murder.

The boss was a man in his sixties, and we chatted for a few minutes as was his habit.

Are you planning to head north?

Anton Baden's composed smile turned cold.

Why are you asking these questions?

The boss then realized something and explained.

"I was just asking casually, because I saw you came from the south."

"What business is it of yours where I come from?"

66

"

Two minutes later, Anton Baden put the coins in his pocket and hung the "Closed" sign on the convenience store doorknob.

Only then did Anton Baden start his car to give chase, but 10 minutes later his vehicle suddenly broke down. So he stopped a car and smiled, "Sir, please get out of the car."

"What is it?"

Anton Baden produced a forged police ID.

"I'm a police officer, don't move, just stand there."

The driver felt uneasy under the other person's gaze. If the other person hadn't shown identification, he would have left immediately. By the way, what was that "police officer" holding? An oxygen cylinder?

In just a few dozen seconds, the driver became a dead man with a huge hole in his head, while his car was heading to Las Vegas.

Anton Baden understood why the other party went to Las Vegas. After all, they had offended the gangs on both the North and South sides. The easiest way to launder $300 million was to go to the gambling city.

He bought chips in small amounts over multiple transactions, breaking down the $400 million into cash transactions of less than $1 each (to circumvent the casino's mandatory reporting threshold), exchanged cash for chips at different casinos multiple times, kept some chips after pretending to gamble, and finally cashed checks under the guise of "gambling profits".

Although there is still a risk of exposure, this method is much simpler and safer than other methods.

Twenty minutes later, Lee Ethan returned to Lano in the promised helicopter, a Bell 429.

However, Lee Ethan looked very unwell, because in the few hours he was gone, four murders had occurred in the town.

The only survivor of the double-cross was dead, Julia Green was dead, the convenience store owner was dead, and a passerby in the town was dead. It was a slap in the face to him.

It's obvious at a glance that this was done by forces behind the scenes, involved in a double-cross, in order to recover the cash.

The survivor's death infuriated Lee Ethan. The town clinic's surveillance system had been cut, so no useful information was recorded. He didn't know for the time being whether the clinic was lying, so he could only question the police officer in charge.

"Mason Myers, are you just going to stand by and watch the prisoner like that?"

"I'm sorry, stationmaster, I didn't know that if I went out into the corridor, the window would be opened and the prisoner would be killed."

Lee Ethan looked at the old man, unsure if he was lying, but his immediate priority was to investigate Moss Cohen's wife.

Julia Green is dead, also killed by a spring-loaded gun, which proves that Moss Cohen, who could not be reached by phone, was involved in the case.

Next, Lee Ethan personally touched the bodies and locations of the deceased. He was already familiar with the Shining ability and knew exactly what he should do. Finally, the Cohen family reacted, until Moss.

This is Julia Green's perspective: her husband's words of advice, the man in black who burst in, the sound of crying, and the snap-action pistol. This is everything Julia Green saw before she died.

After seeing the hallucination, Li Yisen's face turned even uglier.

In his view, the killer was a madman; he killed people, so why did he have to talk about deciding life and death by flipping a coin?

Another explanation is that this kind of killer is particular about his own rules, and he doesn't like any of them.

However, before making his move, the assassin pulled out a tracking device and said that Moss Cohen was heading to Las Vegas with money, just to make Julia Green die in despair—what a twisted sense of humor.

Las Vegas?

Without hesitation, Lee Ethan took a helicopter to intercept them. There was only one road from Lano to Las Vegas, which stretched 15 kilometers across the entire desert.

As for cross-regional law enforcement, he's not afraid. Although most of the desert is under the jurisdiction of San Bernardino County, there are only a few desert villages along the route through Las Vegas. Moreover, he might be able to stop them before they leave Los Angeles County.

The helicopter took off and headed east along the highway. Lee Ethan wanted to race the guys who had committed crimes on his turf to see who was faster.

On the pitch-black highway, Anton Baden glanced at the tracking device, then at the car ahead, and knew he had caught up.

It seems the prey was unaware that a tracking device was hidden in the cash. It's not entirely the other party's fault, since there was too much money and no time to count it.

Anton Baden floored the gas pedal and caught up with the target car. He turned his head and met Moss Cohen's gaze. Moss Cohen was clearly not expecting to be caught, but he remained very calm until Anton Baden pulled out his pistol.

"Bang"

A single shot to the head sent the hunter's head slamming against the steering wheel, and the car crashed into the roadside.

Just as Anton and Baden were about to get out of the car to retrieve their cash, the sound of a helicopter suddenly came from afar.

"A helicopter?"

At this moment, Anton Baden had already come up with a plan, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
