Kay was woken up by Teresa the next morning and asked him to take Matthew to the Washington Park area of South City. This area is known as a 'war zone', between Highway 90/94 and the University of Chicago. area, the area from 51st Street to 63rd Street, a typical black community. There are many underground bars there, and many University of Chicago students like to drink and take drugs there, because minors under the age of twenty-one are prohibited from buying and drinking in the United States, and in those underground bars, this law is equivalent to farting. The same goes for the drug trade. Marijuana is already so common in Illinois that there are even groups now pushing to legalize it. (It really became the day before Anti-Drug Day in 2019...)
There is an unbreakable truth in this world, that is, people's interest in something that is easy to obtain will be greatly reduced. Therefore, in order to pursue excitement, those college students with strong hormones began to give up marijuana and instead bought more exciting cocaine and Heroin.
At first, Kai thought Theresa was asking him to handle a drug-related case, but only after he fell down did he realize that it was actually a murder case!
Everyone in the bar was killed, a total of twenty-three people! All were killed without exception. The men had gunshot wounds, open wounds from sharp blades, and some had been beheaded. On the surface, it looked very much like a gang vendetta.
Hundreds of bullets were found on the walls and floor of the bar!
It was a complete massacre. It's no wonder Theresa asked Kay to handle the case. Although Kai has not been in office for too long, his abilities have been recognized by the entire police department and he is considered the ace of the Chicago Police Department. It is best to leave a difficult case like this to Kai. In addition, letting Kai handle this case shows that the top brass of the police station are furious. After all, in Kai's resume, the murderers in the cases he handles rarely make it to the police alive. bureau. The higher ups don't care about life or death now, they just need to find the murderer.
At first, Kai thought it was a gang vendetta. It was not uncommon for places like this to fight over territory, but this time it was a little bigger. The hands of these people all have calluses from holding guns for a long time. In addition, the guns of various styles and models scattered on the ground are in line with the characteristics of gangsters. Until he came across the body of the bar owner. Although the owner also had injuries on his body, the real cause of death was not due to those injuries.
"These people have been tortured and they were executed." Matthew carefully looked at the arrangement of the beheaded corpses and immediately came to a conclusion. "This is not in line with the characteristics of a gang fight. The murderer is not one person, and judging from the scene, these people have undergone strict training and they cooperate very well."
Matthew finally walked over to the boss's body, pointed at the boss's death state and said, "This is the same. He also experienced torture, but he died of poisoning. It seems that the poison was not caused by the murderer, but by himself. Taking poison. None of this fits the characteristics of a gang vendetta.”
Nonsense, what kind of gangster can cause such a scene, torture and grab territory, does it need to be so cruel?
Kai could see more clearly. He saw the black blood flowing from the corner of the bar owner's mouth. He gently touched the black blood with gloves and put it under his nose to smell it. "Silver nitrate."
Silver nitrate is rarely used as poison. It is more commonly used as photosensitive material. If you really want to use poison to commit suicide, wouldn't chloride be better? Quickly effective and highly toxic. In addition, Kai's hound smelled something vaguely like a vampire.
It is not difficult to guess who the murderer is who caused all this.
Just when Kai was about to continue investigating the scene to see if he could find any useful clues, a group of guys in suits suddenly walked in. They were DHS (United States Department of Homeland Security), also known as the Department of Homeland Security.
They took out a bunch of authorization documents signed by unknown people and asked Kai and his guys to leave the scene immediately and hand everything over to them.
Although DHS is a newly reorganized department, due to the 9/11 incident, DHS's power is not small. On the contrary, it has considerable power in many places, such as in the fight against domestic terrorism. And in terms of level, DHS is an agency under the cabinet. It is a cabinet department of the federal government together with the Department of Justice. When necessary, the Department of Homeland Security can call on any law enforcement force, including the FBI. If necessary, they can even directly Mobilize the National Guard.
So when DHS took over the scene on the grounds of "terrorist attack," not even Kay, not even the Chief of the Chicago Police Department could stop it.
…
"The Department of Homeland Security has taken over everything, and the police department has issued a confidentiality order. It seems that vampires are much more troublesome than we thought." Kai returned home and told the Wen brothers and others about what happened today. Listen, and Matthew is sitting next to Kai.
Matthew has been curious about the identities of Dean and others since they told them about the 'King in Yellow' cult. Last night, Bobby brought Rufus for help, which made this curiosity even more intense. Seeing this situation, Kai knew that there were some things that he couldn't hide from Matthew, so he simply didn't avoid Matthew. It was okay to let him know some things. The King in Yellow cult he investigated was itself a supernatural force.
Matthew actually feels very surreal right now, like a vampire or something...
But the problem is that he doesn't think Kai will lie to him with such a clumsy lie, and it won't do any good. So he decided not to express his opinion for the time being and to find out what was going on.
Bobby and the others have more complex senses than Matthew. They are all senior demon hunters, but they never knew that vampires could be so powerful! It actually got the Department of Homeland Security to dispatch. Witchers are not actually afraid of monsters, and if they were, they would not go down this path. What they really have a problem with is the US government!
Thinking that if they continue to hunt vampires, they are very likely to face the huge federal government, even Dean's audacity makes his scalp numb.
The same is true for Kai. No matter what he does, it is impossible for a person to fight against a country.
But Kai quickly thought of a way. Since they couldn't deal with one state agency, let another state agency come forward.
SHIELD!
Thinking of this, Kai directly dialed Agent Phil's phone number.
"Hello, this is Phil Coulson."
"It's me, Kai."
"Oh, Kai! What? You figured it out? That's great." Phil seemed very happy to hear Kai's voice.
"No, I'm not calling about this. I'm here to ask for help." Kai didn't respond to Phil's excitement. He always started like this every time he called. People who don’t know would think that SHIELD is short of people.
But what was different from the past was that Phil did not respond enthusiastically to Kai's request for help. Instead, Kai received a period of silence for about ten seconds.
"What? You already know why I asked you for help?" Phil's response was very unpleasant, and Kai instinctively sensed something was wrong.
Phil obviously understood why Kai was asking for help. "How did you know?"
"They kill people everywhere in the city, and they always leave some clues. Besides, I've even seen Cerberus, so it wouldn't be surprising if I knew about vampires." Kai's explanation is very reasonable. After all, I have seen things more magical than vampires. After that, vampires are nothing.
"And these are minor, I need SHIELD's attitude now. Aren't you a department that specializes in dealing with this kind of thing? Now vampires are killing people everywhere in Chicago. Isn't this your business?"
Phil was speechless, but the problem was that not everything in the world was that simple. War is an extension of politics, and this is even more true for government departments like theirs. Government departments that do not care about politics are all rogue organizations!
If there weren't so many messes involved in this incident, Phil would have brought his people to Chicago as soon as possible. But now... Phil has a sense of justice, but the problem is that he has a better view of the overall situation! The director has already told him that there are too many things involved in this matter, and SHIELD must make sacrifices.
Phil is not a white lotus, and a white lotus cannot be an agent. (When watching the American TV series S.H.I.E.L.D., I always feel that the character Phil is too great and upright, a typical American agent. If S.H.I.E.L.D. was really that great and upright, it would have been destroyed by Hydra 800 years ago, so here The character of Phil has been modified. He is a good person, but he pays more attention to the overall situation that SHIELD promotes, because this is what he thinks is justice)
"Sorry... please give us some time, we will deal with it soon." Phil said evasively.
Kai was silent for a moment, he could understand what he meant. In fact, when he was concerned about Hannibal's identity and activities, he understood SHIELD's position. So he didn't expect SHIELD to really stand up and fight vampires, and that wasn't what he needed.
"Is this your answer?"
Phil responded silently.
"Okay, I get it. But I still need your help."
"What?"
"I need SHIELD to help me clear some obstacles. If SHIELD doesn't want to directly conflict with vampires, then let the demon hunters and us solve this matter. Just us and vampires!" Kai said.
Phil pondered for a moment and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. In accordance with the agreement with the vampires, they did not interfere in vampire revenge, but it was common for them to do some small things in private. S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a gathering place of heroes and heroes, it needs spit and nails. If he is so upright, is he a Juyi Hall or a secret service organization?
Anyway, they gave the vampires a chance. If the vampires still can't handle it, it only shows that they are incompetent.
"I understand. Good luck to you then."
"Yeah, wish me good luck." When he said this, Kai showed a cruel smile.
Is the Department of Homeland Security strong? For Kai, it was just like that. What really scares Kay is what DHS stands for. Against the entire U.S. government? It's neither necessary nor worthwhile.
As long as there is no obstruction from the federal government, Hannibal can beat the shit out of vampires!
Just when Kai put down the phone and was about to say something to Bobby, Teresa's call suddenly came in.
"What? You want me to be responsible for the security of the art exchange meeting?"
Kai asked in surprise.
Kai still knew about the art exchange meeting. There are many art schools in Chicago, and it also has the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the three largest museums in the United States, with a strong artistic atmosphere. Of course, this doesn't affect the fact that Kai is not interested in art, but his girlfriend does. This devil girl went to business school entirely because of her mother's request. Her mother had always hoped that she could inherit their family's business. Anyway, Sandra always felt that she was a prodigal daughter, and the family property would not be ruined if it was handed over to her. It's a miracle. If she wants to develop, she doesn't think she has the ability at all, so she hopes that her daughter can inherit the family business and she can enjoy life unscrupulously.
It's just so true.
Kelly actually wants to major in art the most. She is interested in these things. So when the Louvre decided to hold an art exchange with the Art Institute of Chicago, Kelly was very excited and even asked Kay to go to the exhibition early.
This time, the Louvre has produced a total of 105 authentic works of art for joint display at the Art Institute of Chicago. The value of these works of art alone exceeds US$1.2 billion! Definitely a huge deal.
But Kai was very busy recently, so he didn’t agree to it. More importantly, Kai didn’t have any artistic talent at all, so what was he doing?
Kai originally thought that the matter would just go away, but he didn't expect that Teresa actually asked him to be in charge of security.
Kai was confused, what kind of security? Maintain order? Isn't that what patrolmen do? As for protecting artworks... that's a good idea. The Art Institute of Chicago and the Louvre both have complete security systems. The security of artworks is very cumbersome and professional, which is far from the protection of VIPs. . Apart from maintaining public order outside, the police did not participate in the security inside the exhibition hall at all. Unless the exhibits were stolen, that would be the time for the police to appear.
Otherwise, the police should just stay outside.
"Why? Does this matter have something to do with our police detective bureau?" Putting a criminal policeman in charge of the security of the museum...Which genius came up with this idea?
"Originally not, but as soon as that playboy Stark called me, it mattered. This playboy named you to be in charge of security, and the bureau couldn't refuse." It turns out that this genius is Tony Stark, what's more? Exactly like something he would do. It could be seen from Theresa's tone that she didn't like this proposal either. The original police detective bureau didn't have enough manpower, and the ace was transferred to do some security work. It's strange that Theresa was happy.
"He said this was a warm-up for the expo, so he needed support from the Chicago government."
It’s nonsense here. Does an industrial expo need to display artworks to warm up? But again, what does the boss say? Who makes him rich? Now everyone in Chicago regards this playboy as the God of Wealth.
Also at this time, the news on TV was broadcasting the press conference before the exhibition.
Kai didn't pay attention at first, but he immediately saw an acquaintance on the screen. He was so off guard that the coffee in his mouth spurted out.
puff! ! !
"Why is she here?"
At the press conference, Kay saw Diana, who was wearing a burgundy deep V tight long straight dress, answering reporters' questions!
Kai was unmistakable, that was Diana. There might be people who looked alike in this world, but Diana's unique Amazonian temperament was unmistakable.
Why is she here? ? ?
Kai watched with wide eyes as Diana talked calmly, without any of the clumsiness she had when she first entered the human world. She seemed to be very comfortable and adaptable.
