When he was in Los Angeles, Kay once captured an Irish gang that was developing in Los Angeles. This gang came to Los Angeles because of Frank's rampage. Their boss was caught by Kai and thrown into prison. He once mentioned the name 'Blacksmith' to Kai. At that time, Kai paid attention to this blacksmith. This guy also had a sales network in Los Angeles. But this guy was too mysterious, so Kai didn't catch his tail.
Unexpectedly, Kai came to New York and heard his name again. What a coincidence.
At the same time, Kai didn't think this was a coincidence.
This can only mean one thing, that is, this blacksmith has a super poisonous network covering the United States. Of course, the truth may not be that exaggerated, but there is no doubt that both New York and Los Angeles have this guy's next home.
This cannot be underestimated. The United States is the world's largest drug consumer, and New York and Los Angeles are also the two cities with the largest drug sales in the United States. Being able to have its own sales network in these two cities is enough to illustrate the strength of this blacksmith.
The only thing that struck Kai as strange was how little information there was about the blacksmith.
In this world, it is not that difficult for drug lords to remain anonymous. Basically, the world's famous drug lords have detailed records with the US government. As long as you are big in this industry, it is almost impossible to truly hide it.
But this blacksmith was an exception. Kai entered the FBI database through connections and found that there was no information about this blacksmith at all.
So mysterious.
However, it’s not all clueless, that’s Frank.
Originally, there seemed to be nothing that could connect the blacksmith and Frank, but the last time Frank was arrested in the park, it was precisely the news revealed by the drug lord.
This is very interesting.
Frank's fight against crime may affect the blacksmith's business. But with the blacksmith's mystery, there seems to be no reason for him to expose himself specifically for Frank. Apart from shipping goods, this guy rarely contacts his customers.
But just for Frank, he made an exception and contacted the Irish.
This is not normal.
Or was there any reason why he had to kill Frank?
Have a grudge against Frank?
Probably not.
Frank's experience is complicated, quite complicated. After all, they often perform secret missions. But if it's simple, it's very simple. He has spent most of his life in the army, and his interpersonal relationships are extremely simple. Even if there is really an enemy, it was due to the execution of the mission, but if this is really the case, how did his enemy know Frank's information?
Frank performed a secret mission, and even though he retired, his identity information was still kept confidential. If all this is leaked, then the military's ability to keep secrets is basically hopeless.
The identity of the blacksmith is a bit interesting.
Thinking of this, Kai took out a piece of paper, listed all the doubtful points on it, and then performed elimination methods on Frank's interpersonal relationships, hoping to get some inspiration from it.
But all afternoon, the drawings on the paper were messy, and I still found nothing.
Because Kai always lacks a decisive factor, that is motivation.
What was the blacksmith's motive for killing Frank?
And Frank's whole family is also going to be killed... How can this motive be small?
In short, there is always a layer in between, which makes Kai puzzled.
…
While Kai was distressed, Samantha also started taking action.
"This is different from what was promised! You can't ignore my client's safety! You want to kill him!" Fergie yelled at Samantha emotionally.
Because just now, he learned that Samantha used Grote as bait to lure out a man named Edgar Brass, an important leader of the Mexican cartel. The so-called cartel, in economic terms, is a conglomeration of formerly independent production, supply and marketing companies in the industry, with the intention of strangling competitors and binding product prices. In the drug industry, it refers to a consortium of gangsters who have their own territories and expertise in the Latin American drug industry, with the purpose of bargaining and suppressing opponents.
The base of the drug "cartel" is a gang, but it is more powerful than a gang; its business is to do business, but it exercises power and dominates areas far beyond underground business; it often appears in the news as a result of burnings and killings, but compared with the underworld's mergers, " The atrocities of the “cartels” are more akin to insurgency and civil war.
All in all, he is an extremely dangerous person.
Of course, Fergie couldn't let his client take such a big risk. You know, even if such a dangerous person is arrested, countless people will avenge him. If Grotto wants to be safe, the best way is not to mess with this kind of person.
"Not everyone is eligible to enter the Federal Witness Protection Program. Grotto is just a small person, and he must show his value, otherwise the government will not pay such a high price for a useless criminal. Or you can Persuade your client to find another way to stay safe."
"what way?"
"Plead guilty! Go to jail, and you won't have to worry about safety issues when you get to jail. Of course, given the bad level of this guy, he'll have at least twenty years to start." Samantha said confidently.
Although Grote is just a small character, he can commit many crimes, including murder, arson, drug trafficking, robbery, assaulting women, etc. He is definitely a standard scumbag. Twenty years is a long time for Samantha, to say the least. Anyway, as long as this thing goes to the jury, I believe that not many jurors will sympathize with him. On the contrary, most people will feel that prison is the best place for him.
"As long as Grotto agrees, I can cancel the action now!"
Of course Grotto didn't want to, he didn't want to joke or go to jail. He would rather remain anonymous!
So he took the gamble!
So the plan was quickly launched, and its efficiency was so fast that Fergie was stunned. If the police were all this efficient... then New York would be saved.
It was this unparalleled efficiency that made Fergie feel very uneasy. He instinctively felt that Samantha seemed to be very anxious, even desperate.
…
Frank, on the other side, was sitting in front of an old police radio, listening to police communications on the radio.
Frank soon tuned into a channel where the police were communicating.
The content of the exchange was none other than Grotto!
Frank smiled contemptuously, and the police seemed to be deliberately leaking Grotto's location.
It seemed that the police really wanted to go fishing.
Kai had also told him beforehand to leave Grotto alone.
But Frank thought...that would be too boring.
Killing people doesn't need to be that troublesome.
Since the other party wants to fish, he should be prepared for the bait to be eaten!
Thinking of this, Frank packed his things. Then he turned around and left his safe house.
…
Matt is very anxious now. He must dare to rush to Grotto's location before the Punisher does anything. In order to obtain better conditions for Grotto and to better protect Grotto's safety, Matt and Foggy acted separately. Foggy followed Samantha, while Matt went to investigate the Mexican drug lord.
But at this moment, Matt couldn't care about the Mexican drug lords at all, because he discovered that they had all been deceived!
While Matt was investigating a Mexican drug lord, he inadvertently overheard a conversation between Samantha and the police!
He knew that Samantha was going to use Grotto as bait to lure the Punisher into taking the bait. Samantha had no intention of using Grotto to catch any Mexican drug lord! He must save Grotto.
But Matt hurriedly hurriedly and finally arrived at the dock area.
But Matt used his super hearing to search the surroundings and found that the Punisher had not arrived.
Instead there were police officers all around.
From conversations with these people, Matt got feedback.
These are not ordinary police officers, but the New York ESU (Tactical Operations Unit), which is the SWAT! Reyes, the district attorney, is very energetic, and this arrest plan directly used the strongest force of the NYPD.
Samantha was also waiting anxiously at the command post. The Punisher's failure to show up really disrupted her plan. Although her energy is great, it is not so great that she can always let ESU accompany her to mess around. If the punisher doesn't come, then she...
But she doesn't have any good solution for this, because whether the punisher comes or not depends on the other party taking the initiative.
How could she still control others?
Just as she was thinking about countermeasures, her assistant ran in.
"Here it comes! Someone is coming!"
Samantha immediately cheered up: "Let the people below prepare immediately!
As soon as he finished speaking, a large truck rumbled into the dock area. The ambushed ESU team members did not move, allowing the truck to crash through the iron gate and rush into the dock area.
The ESU members were very excited, after all, they had been hiding for half the night and almost fell asleep. It's so easy to come to work.
But only Daredevil Lawyer Ma discovered something was wrong.
That's not the Punisher!
"Fake!" At the same time, what was even more terrible was that Matt also heard the sound of motorcycles coming around outside the pier.
That's Cerberus!
A gang that was born out of the motorcycle gangs, which are very common in the United States. These domineering gangsters wear uniform motorcycle vests and swagger through the city accompanied by the three-beat horse hoofbeats roaring from the Harley engine. They pursue freedom, oppose mainstream culture, and are loyal to the organization. They are the modern "Teutonic Knights." The unique style has had a huge impact on subcultures such as punk, heavy metal, leather subculture and cybergoth, and has become an important representative of American subculture.
Of course, if it's just that, it's nothing. The United States is still very tolerant of this subculture. However, the reality is not as simple as the above. Under the cover of the name of a motorcycle club, these motorcycle gangs are actually highly organized and disciplined gangs and fraternity organizations.
Take Cerberus, for example. Under the cover of a motorcycle club, Cerberus is actually a highly organized and disciplined gang and fraternity organization. Every member of Cerberus has dedicated his or her life, time, and everything to the gang and their brothers. Once you join Cerberus, besides gangs and brothers, family, wife and children no longer matter. Cerberus's main income comes from arms trading, drug business and monopolizing pornographic entertainment venues (such as strip clubs that are popping up all over the United States). The pornography, gambling and drug industry has always been an industry that all gangs value very much. Why can Cerberus be able to establish itself in these industries? heel? Monopoly management, high organizational discipline and ruthlessness are the magic weapons for their success.
This gang of guys continues to transport drugs throughout the United States through their own members, and their methods are no worse than those of the Mexicans. These people even dared to fight directly with Mexicans on the US-Mexico border. And these people are often racist and even have *** tendencies. Very difficult to do.
These people are not afraid of the police!
If the police dare to attack them, these *** dare not fight back!
Matt wants to warn Foggy and Samantha.
But it was too late.
"That's a dangerous suspect, open fire, open fire." It was Samantha, and she wasn't going to let the Punisher live to face trial. So when the truck rushed into the dock, she gave the order to shoot!
Bang bang bang bang!
The police who were lying in ambush around heard the order and immediately ran out of their hiding places and opened fire on the truck.
Soon, countless blood sprays burst out from the cab of the truck!
The driver was shot!
The truck then lost control and crashed into a pile of containers.
The ESU members immediately came to the truck cab with guns drawn and opened the door. They found two white bald men sitting inside. They were wearing leather vests with the image of a flaming bully dog printed on the vests!
The ESU members were a little confused, weren't they here to capture the Punisher?
Is the Punisher still a member of Cerberus?
At this time, the man sitting in the passenger seat suddenly spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood. He was still conscious!
"You...these cops...all deserve to die!"
This guy was so fierce that he actually raised the pistol tremblingly and pointed it at the ESU members.
Without orders, these special police officers immediately raised their guns and shot.
So he was completely cold.
It was also at this time that a burst of Harley engine roar came, and a large group of Hellhound Harley Riders rushed in.
ESU was immediately stunned.
Those Harley knights were a little confused about the situation, but it didn't matter, as long as they saw the miserable condition of their companions.
"Fake! They killed Eric!!"
"Go to hell! Damn you scumbag!!!"
This group of racists may not be as extreme as the Ku Klux Klan, but they are definitely not good-tempered. No, these bastards don't care what the other party is doing. They just pull out their guns and shoot!
Then there was a loud sound of gunfire, and people kept falling to the ground.
But there are still few police officers.
This gang of speedsters dispatched two to three hundred people, and the police... only had a few dozen people. In this almost face-to-face situation, the one with more people would of course have the upper hand, and this gang of speedsters was well equipped. Many are semi-automatic.
Matt was stunned...
"how so?"
"What do you think it should be like?" Suddenly a voice came from behind Matt.
Matt turned immediately.
Be the punisher.
"It's you!" Matt was so shocked that he didn't notice Frank's approach. "Why are you doing this? Do you know how many people will be killed?!!!"
Frank shrugged, not caring at all: "Can you blame me? According to you, I should just dive into the trap and let them catch me? Also, if those policemen can follow the rules instead of shooting as soon as they come up, The people who shot Cerberus didn't get to this point. All I did was lure them here."
Matt would not listen to Frank's explanation. He only knew that many people would die today!
Matt bent his body and slammed into Frank. Frank flew up and landed on the top of the container below, making a loud clang sound. Matt followed and jumped down. But Frank is not easy to mess with. He has no ill intentions towards Matt, otherwise he wouldn't have been attacked, but that doesn't mean he won't fight back. Just when Matt was about to pounce on him, he kicked him. Matt's abdomen and kicked him away.
Matt had just been kicked away like this, and ordinary people would have rolled on the ground holding their stomachs, but he endured the severe pain and immediately got up and rushed towards Frank.
Below, bullets rained, and the gun battle between Cerberus and the police became intense, with neither side thinking of stopping.
Up above, Frank and Matt were still fighting wildly.
Matt is agile and skilled. Frank is extremely powerful and attacks ferociously.
For a while, it was hard to tell.
But Matt's incredibly sensitive hearing harmed him. The gunshots and screams below constantly reminded him of what was happening below, which made Matt unconsciously distracted.
It took less than a second, but Frank still seized the opportunity!
He took out an electric shock stick and hit it directly on Matt's exposed chin... The rest of Matt's body was covered in armor. That thing is anti-electricity.
"Uh-huh..." Matt twitched and fell down.
