5101 South Wentworth Street, Chicago Police Headquarters.
A compact white AC Cobra slowly drove into the parking space. The shape of this AC Cobra was so outstanding that at least everyone around the police station was attracted to it. Although this car is small, it has a stylish shape. There is also a blue vertical line on the front of the car, which looks small but very powerful. Its engine is even more powerful. When the car gradually stalls, the sound of the engine is like the low roar of a ferocious beast that has just driven away the enemy and put away its fury.
Maybe when other people see this car, they will just think it is an expensive sports car. After all, no matter how you look at it, this car is indeed not cheap.
But people who really know the industry know that this car is not just expensive.
The full name of this car is 'shelbyaobra 427' (Shelby Cobra 427). This car became famous in the 1960s, when the legendary American racing driver Garrol Shelby wanted to build a high-end car to compete with Ferrari. For performance racing, we hope to create a high-horsepower model that is lightweight, has low body wind resistance, and has a strong frame. In the United States at that time, he was unable to find a suitable automobile chassis manufacturer, so Shelby turned his search to Britain on the other side of the ocean. The British automobile industry was very developed at that time. He found the British aars car company to build the body and chassis of his new car. At that time, aars was just an antique car company established in 1901. Its automobile products were all limited edition models, but the hand-made aluminum alloy body performed extremely well in terms of rigidity. (Aobra bodywork is all made by hand)
Shelby later found Ford and installed the car with the newly developed super engine developed by Ford at the time - the Ford V8 engine.
In 1961, this transatlantic marriage created one of the fastest sports sedans in history and ushered in a glorious era for Cobra. This car combines British elegance and American flamboyance. Its gentlemanly and unique appearance hides an arrogant and violent factor. Once started, it becomes a highly anticipated super sports car.
This car's performance on the track was very dazzling, which also made the Shelby Cobra the best sports car at the time. But it is regrettable that AC Company went bankrupt in the 1980s due to poor management. This also makes this car a swan song in the market.
The later famous Dodge Viper was based on this car.
There are only seven original 427s in the world now, and no one would think that the car in front of them would be one of those seven, because the most suitable place for those seven original cars should be in museums or collectors' garages.
But even so, the cost of the car in front of you will be staggering!
Because 427 has been discontinued a long time ago, if you want to reproduce it, the price will be far higher than the original version. After all, collecting original parts is an extremely luxurious thing. In addition, assembly and processing are also expensive.
So the cost of this car easily exceeds a million!
Kai was wearing a British-style suit and took off his sunglasses a little awkwardly. He didn't like being looked at like a rare animal.
At the same time, he doesn't really like his current state. It's too high-profile and doesn't fit in with Kai's style.
The same goes for cars. He prefers rougher models with muscular shapes, tough lines, and tall bodies. For example, a Chevrolet Suburban or a pickup truck would also work. This Cobra 427 is too small, and the open-top design also makes me feel insecure, and I always feel like my head is empty.
The problem is that Kelly doesn't agree.
This girl, who is not experienced in the world, believes that her lover must be in the best spirit to leave a good impression on his new colleagues on his first day at work.
To be honest, Kai really doesn't think that his image as a wealthy second-generation rich man can leave a good impression on his new colleagues. You must know that even if he is in the headquarters police detective bureau, his annual salary will not exceed 70,000. Dollar. Let a rich man like Kai join them, and they have a good attitude to avoid being hated by the rich.
However, Kelly obviously wanted to show off her boyfriend, so Kai's objections were ignored.
By the way, this 427 was a gift from Kelly to Kai to congratulate him on his transfer to a new position. Originally, Kelly planned to give this car to Kai for Christmas, but Kai was too busy during that time and never gave it away.
This car is a collection of Kelly's father. It has been kept in the garage and has never been driven. It turned out to be cheap.
Seeing Kai, who was wearing a very sexy bag, approaching the police building, a group of people all speculated, what was this rich second generation doing at the police station? Are you looking for excitement?
…
Teresa, the head of the operations department of the Chicago Headquarters Police Detective Bureau, is a very resolute person. She has a tough style and a tough personality. She has always been known as the Iron Lady in the police department. Of course, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't be where she is now. Although the United States has always advertised equality, in reality, it is difficult for a woman, especially a black man, to get to the top in a police station dominated by men. Even if she does, most of them are civilians.
But Teresa is different. Her resume is very beautiful, starting from a low-level patrol officer and rising all the way to her current position. And she relied on her real achievements. She had participated in many major cases, and she even had fights with criminals on the front lines more than once or twice.
But such a strong-armed man was very agitated today.
Because she has a problem on her hands.
Teresa frowned as she looked at Kai, who was dressed like a rich man. She didn't like Kai, even though Kai had a great resume, she still didn't like Kai. A strong leader like her dislikes situations that are beyond her control.
For example, Kai is.
The procedure Kai followed was not formal, but was imposed on Teresa from above, and she was repeatedly told to take care of her. Teresa has really never encountered a situation like this where people are stuffed up. After all, even if there are people in the fortress, there is no reason to stuff people into their operations department, right?
You must know that this is the front line of the police detective bureau. Investigating cases and fighting with people are their jobs. If you do well, you will not necessarily be rewarded. If you do not do well, you will definitely be scolded. This is the best portrayal of them. Who is so full that they would cram people into such a thankless place?
But Theresa's immediate boss, who was also her boss, clearly told her that this person was recommended by the Stark Group and they must take it seriously.
Who in Chicago doesn't know that Stark Group will hold an industrial expo in Chicago this November? Now the Stark Group has begun to renovate their old factory in Chicago, and has also purchased a lot of vacant land in the surrounding area to prepare to build a venue center.
This move not only boosted market confidence in Chicago, but also brought many jobs to Chicago. What's more, Stark Group doesn't just hold an expo and ignore it completely. They have a detailed development strategy, including subsequent investment in the construction of new factories and supporting facilities. This can bring a considerable improvement to Chicago's economy, and by the way, it can also relieve Chicago's high unemployment rate.
In this case, the Chicago government will fully cooperate with the Stark Group. This is the general trend! No one can destroy it!
So no matter how dissatisfied Theresa was, she had to hold it in.
But Kai's first impression on Teresa today made her very unhappy. This is a police detective station, not a party scene. What she needs is a tough detective, not a playboy. Kai also felt this emotion, but he couldn't explain it well. Putting everything on your girlfriend?
That's not what Kai is used to.
Just leave it at that. Love so much.
Anyway, he is here to work, not to make friends.
…
After an unpleasant meeting, Kai officially joined the company. Then it was about arranging a partner for Kai.
For such a partner, Teresa originally planned to arrange an experienced police detective for Kai, firstly to help Kai get familiar with the work, and secondly to take care of him. After all, many things will be easier with an experienced policeman by his side.
But after the first meeting, Theresa changed her mind and directly arranged a stabbing for Kai.
Matthew Rust.
In a sense, Matthew is simply a role model for the police. He possesses extremely sharp and powerful observation, judgment and logical reasoning abilities. He is extremely capable of action and has a strong sense of professional honor.
But alas, his former boss ruined him.
Of course, it can’t be considered a failure, it can only be said that fate plays a trick on people. A few years ago, Matthew was assigned by the then chief of the detective bureau to work as an undercover agent in a gang. It was a gang that switched jobs to drug trafficking. Although on the surface, their territory was not large, they were actually the largest in the entire Chicago drug market. One of the important suppliers.
Matthew did a great job. In just a few years, he broke into the core of the gang and began to get involved in more drug transactions. And this is not without cost. First of all, he himself is addicted to drugs, and secondly, he no longer has any police behavior in him. Forced by drugs and the pressure of survival, he changed, and he became no different from a real gangster.
What's even more unfortunate is that the network is about to be closed. But because of Hamilton, Chicago was in chaos. After the collapse of the GD gang and Hoover, the entire Chicago gang was in a melee. Among them, Matthew's undercover gang was also involved. The gang boss and most of the backbones once again engaged in gang vendetta. Killed in...
His work as an undercover agent was in vain, and if he didn't return to the police force, he would become the new boss.
But when he returned to the police force, things took a turn for the worse.
His daughter was killed.
Because of the gang's revenge, when he returned to the police force, he also killed all his former 'colleagues'. But there will still be fish that slip through the net. The fish that slipped through the net was not a big shot, he was just a low-level gangster. He was waiting at the door of Matthew's house with a gun. When Matthew's family was going to the amusement park as a group, he jumped out and messed with their family. Guns fired.
The result was one dead and one wounded.
It was his daughter who died and his wife who was injured. Although the murderer was shot dead by Matthew on the spot, the tragedy had already happened and everything was of no use.
Afterwards, his wife divorced him, and Matthew's situation became worse. He became withdrawn, taciturn, immersed in his own world, addicted to alcohol, and became irritable and irritable. There have been several records of injuries sustained during pursuits.
If his old boss hadn't felt guilty about him and kept wiping his ass, he would have been kicked out of the police force long ago.
Due to his undercover experience, as well as his poor work style and personality, no one in the police force liked to partner with him. He had changed five partners in a year, and all of them ended up unhappy. Two of them were beaten by him. hurt.
Teresa also had a headache for Matthew, and now she asked Matthew to partner with Kay, which was obviously unkind.
When Teresa announced the transfer, everyone else in the Detective Bureau's operations department looked at Kai with strange eyes.
Matthew was also very disrespectful. When he learned that Kai was his new partner, he left without saying a word and didn't say hello to anyone.
Kai twitched his lips, a little speechless and embarrassed.
And Kai can't get angry yet. Although Theresa wants to trick Kai, she doesn't want to explain everything to Kai. That's too low-level. Besides, everyone in the detective bureau knew about Matthew's condition. Kai could find out by just asking anyone, so it was impossible to hide it.
So Kai still knew about Matthew's situation.
Kai was also a policeman in his previous life, so he naturally knows the embarrassment of being an undercover police officer. When an undercover agent breaks into an enemy, the first thing he does is adapt to the environment. How to adapt? Of course, what is the enemy like, what must he be like?
But in this way, their behavior is naturally very different from that of the police in the system. They are particularly gangsters and some even hide their bad habits such as drug addiction. They contracted these bad habits not voluntarily, but out of necessity. After all, how could they gain the trust of their enemies if they did not join in the same deeds with those people?
In movies, undercover police officers always have good results and escape from danger, but now in life, they are not so lucky. Because neither the police force nor the undercover police officers themselves find it difficult to adapt and integrate with each other.
Now that he knows what happened to Matthew, Kai will naturally not be so stingy.
"I think I need to talk to him," Kay said to Teresa.
Teresa shrugged noncommittally. Many people have talked to Matthew, but no one has really changed him.
…
Kai found Matthew on the stairs of the building who was about to smoke. His hand holding the cigarette was shaking, his lips were white, his body was shaking, and there was sweat on his forehead. It looked terrible. He tried to light the cigarette in his hand several times, but there seemed to be a problem with his coordination and he failed several times.
Just when Matthew finally couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart and was about to drop the lighter, a metal lighter ignited the cigarette in his mouth. Matthew looked up and saw it was Kai. He was stunned, but he still lowered his head and used Kai's fire to light the cigarette.
Inhale~~~~~exhale...
Matthew's smoking movements were so greedy that he seemed to want to smoke out the entire cigarette in one breath.
Matthew blew out a big puff of smoke and his condition got a little better.
"Are you addicted?"
Kai's tone was normal, without disgust or pity. It's like asking him if he has eaten. Kai hates those harmful drugs, he hates them so much! But the person in front of me was different. He sacrificed his life to complete his mission.
Matthew glanced at Kai and said nothing. He tried his best to suppress the restlessness inside his body. Cigarettes offer no relief at all.
"I know what happened to you, and I don't know how to comfort or enlighten you, but if you want to quit drugs, I have a way." Kai said.
Matthew glanced at Kai again. Without saying a word, he heard this at least a hundred times.
"If you don't believe it, I can demonstrate it to you."
Kai's words moved Matthew a little. Because he already felt that he couldn't control it, he tried to quit, but...how to put it, the pain and depression always made him make the same mistakes again, because only in that moment, he could forget everything.
"I..." Matthew wanted to say something.
But Kai said in advance: "I assume you agree."
After saying that, he took it as if he agreed, and gently struck the connection between the back of Matthew's skull and the cervical spine with a hand knife.
"Fake Squid..." Matthew passed out gorgeously in shock and swear words.
Kai caught him and gently placed him on the ground.
"You're lucky to have met me." Kai raised his hand, a ball of light gathered in his hand, and then he put his hand on Matthew's chest.
Groups of black substance gradually seeped out from Matthew's skin, and then Matthew's face gradually began to turn red. That was Kelly using magic to remove toxins from his body and repair his body, which could alleviate the withdrawal reaction.
