Red Square.
This is Alexei's hometown, with a very arrogant name. It is said that this Russian man's idol is the tyrant czar of Russia. It seems that Russians have a special complex towards tyrants. After all, the several czars who led Russia to rise in history were all tyrants.
Anyway, Alexey named his restaurant Red Square.
He likes to stay here most every day. Many people who don't know why think that this tough-looking Russian man is really the owner of this restaurant. In fact, it's almost the same. Even though this guy is tall and thick, with a height of two meters and a weight of more than 300 kilograms, standing in front of ordinary people, he is as intimidating as Mount Tai, but his hobby is cooking.
No, when Kai came to Red Square, he was helping in the kitchen.
"Hey! Alexei!" Chap is a veteran and often interacts with big guys, so he naturally knows Alexei.
Alexey was wearing a decent chef's uniform with his sleeves rolled up. He was carefully spreading a spoonful of black caviar on the freshly fried potato chips. He heard Chap's cry, but ignored him. Carefully wipe off any sauce spills on the plate with a white napkin.
"Okay, you can take the dishes out." After speaking, Alexei also said to a few young people beside him: "You must be careful when cooking, and every step must be careful."
Several young people nodded honestly, and some were taking notes.
This scene looks more like an old chef teaching apprentices.
"Are you sure we came to the right place?" Kai asked softly.
"This is Los Angeles!" Chap said with a smile: "People here like to be unique."
While the two were chatting, everyone else very smartly withdrew from the kitchen, leaving only a few burly men to accompany Alexei to face Chap and Kai.
"Chap! I told you not to appear in front of me in the future! Or do you think I'm joking?"
Alexey's voice was very deep, a bit like a godfather's. He slowly took off his chef's hat, and then picked a bone chopping knife from the kitchen tool box next to him.
Chap shook his head at Kai, indicating not to be nervous and leave it to him.
"Hey, Alexei, don't say that, we worked well together before."
"Cooperation?" It's okay not to mention this. As soon as this is mentioned, Alexei's eyes are filled with anger. "That's called cheating! You deceived me, cost me a lot of money, and you sent two of my sons to prison!"
"Hey! You can't say that. You said you would do anything as long as you could send those Ukrainians to prison." Chap shouted with an aggrieved look.
Seeing their posture, Kai immediately understood that Chap had probably tricked this Alexei before. However, Chap was so courageous that he actually dared to come to Alexei. It seemed that he was confident. Kai wanted to see what cards Chap had to be so arrogant.
"Shut up!!!" Alexey was obviously furious at Chap's sophistry. With a wave of his hand, he swept all the tableware and kitchen utensils in front of him to the floor. He held the bone chopping knife in his left hand and slashed hard on the chopping board. The stainless steel chopping board was cut into a depth of four to five centimeters by Alexey!
"I said, if I see you again, I will chop you into pieces and throw you into the sea to feed the fish! I will do what I said!" A cruel smile appeared on Alexei's lips, and with a wave of his hand, a group of people covered with The big Russian man with tattoos surrounded him from all directions.
"Hey! Hey! Calm down, buddy." Chap stretched out one hand to stop them and took out his police badge with the other. "I am a policeman now. If you don't want to get into trouble, you should calm down. Alexey, we are not enemies, we... just have different positions. Remember, we are friends."
As expected, the police badge worked, and a group of Russian gangsters hesitated.
Going against the police and killing the police are two different things. The former is likely to go to jail at most, while the latter... The American police have discretion. Discretion means that the police can decide independently what level of behavior they will take when enforcing specific laws, and they can choose what to enforce or not to enforce. law. For example, when the police feel that their own safety is threatened, they can choose to shoot!
As for how to define "feeling threatened", that's a matter of opinion. They are not afraid of going to jail, but getting shot... forget it.
"Friend..." Alexey is not as reckless as he seems. After all, he is in business. Killing policemen in his restaurant? He doesn't have the guts yet. The price is too high, unless he is willing to stay away from Los Angeles and abandon everything he has worked for.
"Hmph! Meeting you is probably the worst thing I have ever done in my life!"
"Don't say that, I couldn't help myself. Look, didn't you have nothing to do in the end? This is what a friend can do for you. I'm sorry for your two sons, but they arrested them, There’s nothing I can do.”
Chap looks like he is colluding with these Russians. In fact, based on Kai's understanding of this guy's talkative personality, the only reason why this guy let Alexey go is because of insufficient evidence!
"Tell me, you jackal, what do you want to do?"
Unexpectedly, Alexey actually stopped moving! Kai was a little surprised. Has the deterrence of the Los Angeles police reached this point?
In fact, Kai was wrong.
All this stems from Chap's personal charm. As mentioned before, he is a bastard. Although he is a policeman and has an unusual sense of justice and responsibility, it cannot change the fact that he is a bastard. What he is really good at is not investigating crimes, but his extraordinary adaptability. He is the kind of person who can live happily no matter where you throw him. It is no longer possible to accurately summarize him.
He is very suitable to get along with those gangsters, he is naturally good at it.
Alexei, for example, doesn't actually hate Chap as much as he appears. As for why... maybe it's the mutual attraction between bastards?
Who knows.
Chap didn't speak, but took out a bullet casing.
"I want to know who bought this batch of weapons and ammunition, where are they and who are they?"
After saying that, Chap took out another document from his arms.
"The price is allowing your two sons to be paroled."
Alexei's eyes lit up when he heard that his son could be paroled. He took the shell casing.
Alexey has the ability to remember every item he has ever sold.
Unexpectedly, after Alexey picked up the warhead and took a look at it, his expression changed and he immediately threw the cartridge case back.
"Get out! I don't know where this came from!"
"Alexei..."
"Get out!" Alexei didn't give Chap any chance at all.
Chap looked at Alexey in surprise. In his impression, Alexei was not the kind of person who valued honor. In fact, Russian gangsters rarely cared about this. Alexey is even more infamous.
Kai finally moved at this time, and it seemed that he had to follow his method.
"Shall I come?" Kai asked.
"Isn't it bad?" Chap hesitated. "No matter what, we are still friends."
"I don't need to grab it." Kai hesitated and said.
Chap immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's no problem."
Kai shook his head, wondering what this guy was thinking. Can't his fists kill people?
Kai took off his suit and handed him into Chap's hands. Then he rolled up his sleeves.
"Three minutes, don't let anyone disturb me."
Chap thought about the number of bullets he had.
"No problem. By the way, don't kill anyone, it will be very troublesome."
Chap is a bastard. How could a bastard sacrifice his life so generously? Knowing that Alexei hated him to death, he still came here looking for death? Even if he won't die, being beaten is not worth it.
His real confidence came from Kai.
During the previous raid on Kingpin's men, Chap had already felt that Kai Neng was able to fight. But after seeing Kai's battle with those ninjas, Chap realized how shallow his understanding of the word 'can fight' was.
With such a fierce partner, why should he be afraid of Alexei?
Chap rode Kai's suit to the kitchen door. While whistling, he stared at the movement outside the door.
"Okay, furry bears, are you ready to do some exercise?" Kai twisted his neck, and with the sound of bones cracking, he walked towards the Russian, whose face was getting more and more ugly.
…
Three minutes later.
The kitchen was in a mess, and a group of Russians fell to the ground with their faces covered in blood. And their boss, a tough Russian guy, was being held up by the neck and hit against the wall by a policeman who was ten centimeters shorter than him, punching him one after another.
His younger brothers were all knocked down two minutes after the battle started. They have never encountered a person with such a powerful fist. When he punches them, they feel as if their bones are about to break. If the punch hits the head, that is actually a good thing, because it will make them faint immediately. past.
In just two minutes, these Russian men all needed to go to the orthopedic department to register, and most of them also needed treatment for concussions.
Kai lifted Alexei's neck and gently patted his cheek with his bloody palm.
"Hey! Friends, how are you? Can you hear me?"
For a full minute, Kai beat Alexey. They all avoided the vital points and specifically targeted the areas that were prone to pain. No, Alexei was beaten so hard that his voice was a bit blurry.
"Ahem...I...I..."
"You are really tough guys. Are all you furry bears like this? Then how did you get half the country wiped out by Hitler in the first place?"
After sighing, Kai raised his fist and prepared to continue punching.
Simple and crude interrogation method, but effective in most cases. There are still mostly ordinary people in this world, and gangsters are actually ordinary people too. They are also afraid of pain and death. People who can truly accept death will not join gangs.
"I say! I say!" Seeing Kai's fist raised again, Alexei endured the physical torture and shouted with all his strength.
He was not a fool. If he had guessed that things would turn out like this, he would have said so.
Kai was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that he would get it wrong.
"Okay, I apologize." Kai put Alexi down and gently adjusted his collar. "Next time, you should say it earlier."
Alexey opened his mouth, wanting to say something. Finally gave up.
He wanted to say it earlier, but the problem was that this guy beat him up as soon as he came up, and he didn't even have a chance to speak...
"I don't know who they are." Alexey said honestly, he didn't even dare to wipe the blood on his face. "But I know where they're coming from."
"where?"
"The Golden Circle!"
The Golden Circle, this is the second time Kai has known about this organization, the last time was in Chicago. It was a drug trafficking organization first initiated by the Medellin drug cartel in Colombia. There was very little specific information, but there was no doubt that this organization seemed to be starting to cause trouble everywhere.
"How could they find you? I remember Chap said, you don't touch drugs."
Alexei opened his mouth and said with a wry smile: "I really didn't get involved in this kind of business before, but... they gave me too much!"
Alexei does not have much interest in drugs, because his main smuggling channel is Russia-the United States, let alone the United States. He originally started an arms business and entered the drug market rashly, which is very difficult. Secondly, , Russia... does not produce drugs. In other words, Russia’s local drug manufacturing industry is far less famous than the Golden Triangle and Silver Triangle. Although Russia is not too far from the Golden Crescent, it is not Russia's territory, and Alexei's relationship cannot reach there. ,
There is no supply of goods, what the hell!
But the Golden Circle approached him and wanted to cooperate with him. They could ship goods from the Golden Crescent, and then let Alexey use his connections in Russia to smuggle the goods to the United States and Europe. And the commission given is very high!
After speaking, Alexey quickly added: "I haven't started to do it yet... and looking at the current situation, I can't do it either."
Fortunately, he didn't tell Kai Xiang, otherwise Kai would probably just call him an idiot.
Transporting drugs from Russia to Europe and the United States?
What idiot thought of this.
Russia is similar to China. The government is powerful, and drug control has always been very strict, and there is a death penalty. In addition, the land area is large, and transportation costs and risks are high! Who would take this road when they are full?
Besides, Golden Crescent has always been dedicated to Europe, where there is a mature transportation route that is safe, secretive and low-cost. The United States is mainly supplied by the Silver Triangle, and some of the goods from Asia are also supplied to the United States. There are very few on the Golden Crescent side.
That group of people told Alexei this, either to deceive him or to do evil to him.
But Kai was noncommittal about these things: "Where are those people?"
"No. xxx in the Flat Area, south of Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills. Last time, I delivered the goods to him."
"Thank you for your cooperation." Kai got what he wanted, and naturally he wouldn't stay any longer.
As for what to do with these people... it is naturally up to their boss to handle it.
"By the way... I don't want you to tip off the news, otherwise..."
"I understand, nothing happened today." Alexei said honestly.
"very good!"
Kai walked to the door and tapped Chap on the shoulder.
"Your friend is very popular."
