"How many people?" Frank asked.
"Twenty-five people!"
Frank looked at his pistol, then threw it to Kay, turned around and rushed into the cabin. After a while, he took out a sniper rifle equipped with an infrared night vision scope, and then quickly climbed up the mast of the ship.
"position!"
"Port side dock direction."
Kai arranged the two pistols and tried them out. Then he walked straight off the cargo ship and into the darkness.
Frank adjusted his breathing, felt the wind direction and speed, then looked at the humidity and temperature displayed on the watch, and then began to adjust the accuracy. Sniper rifles are a very troublesome type of gun. Before use, the gun must be adjusted according to the on-site conditions, because for this kind of high-precision firearm, the difference is really a thousand miles, and the slightest external environmental condition can affect the hit rate. .
bump!
There was a gunshot, and a militant who was sneaking close to the cargo ship was shot in the shoulder!
This shot also made other militants immediately alert. They quickly found a bunker and hid in it as quickly as possible. Their movements were very fast and crisp. Even the unlucky guy who was shot was pulled into the surrounding bunkers by his companions.
"They are not gangsters." Frank immediately reminded Kay over the radio.
"Know."
Kai replied immediately.
In fact, after discovering them, Kai noticed that there was something wrong with these people. The coordination between them is really good, and it is obvious that they can reach this level only after accumulated training. This is not an elite that the Caotai Gang can produce!
Even Kai's 15th Precinct probably couldn't muster so many well-trained elite police officers.
After Frank knew that Kai knew what he was doing, he stopped caring about it and quickly adjusted the sniper rifle. The shot just now was just a test shot. After all, Frank lacked an observer, but the effect was pretty good. Frank was a little satisfied with the feel of his hand and did not expect to retire. Still online after all these years.
After debugging, Frank's next actions were much smoother.
He and Kai had a clear division of labor. Kai went into chaos mode and directly went around to force those people out, while Frank did the covering and harvesting.
But as he continued to fight, Frank discovered a problem.
Kai can kill people faster than the long-range sniper he is. He started at the back of the group and harvested along the way. Move very quickly! Sometimes, as soon as Frank took aim, the target would fall into the street, causing Frank to miss several times.
After about six minutes, the gunfire gradually stopped.
"Done, there are two alive." Kai's voice appeared steadily in Frank's headset, as if he had just gone out to buy a bottle of water, not like someone who had gone through intense exercise.
Frank put away his gun and quickly rushed to Kai's location.
Behind a container, Kai lit a cigar, leaned against the container, and smoked one puff at a time. Opposite him, there were two unlucky guys whose limbs were fixed with military daggers.
"Well, it's them. I'll leave it to you. I'm a policeman, and I can't do anything to extract confessions through torture." Kai nodded at Frank, then walked to the side with a cigar in his mouth. He knew that Frank would make the next scene extremely ugly. Although Kai had a high level of acceptance of such scenes, after all, he had seen it many times on the battlefield before. But that didn't mean Kai would like that scene. Who in the right mind would like that kind of scene?
Frank didn't care, and he was even a little happy. He is not that kind of technical torturer, he is more simple and crude, which probably means that if the enemy is not dead, he will kill him. However, coupled with Frank's cruelty and viciousness, this seemingly low torture method is surprisingly effective.
Of course, what he did was more to vent the anger and bloodthirsty impulses in his heart that had nowhere to vent. Since the death of his wife and children, his heart has been twisted.
…
About half an hour later, Frank walked out covered in blood.
But his expression didn't look happy at all, and even revealed an impulse to destroy everything. It seemed like something inside him had broken.
Kai didn't rush to ask anything, but threw a cigar to him. Let him slow down a bit.
After all... Kai heard everything. According to Kai's perception, at such a close distance, unless Kai deliberately couldn't hear, otherwise...
And the revelations given by those two live mouths were indeed very powerful.
Frank took a few puffs of his cigar, but felt that he still couldn't control his emotions. He threw away the cigar, took out a silver wine bottle, and took a few sips of his own.
"you are right……"
"Didn't I tell you that the situation is uncertain? Maybe it's a coincidence?" Kai tried to persuade him. This kind of thing is really shocking. Having never been in the army, it is difficult to understand the feelings between comrades. But...
"No...I know that guy..." Frank drank himself a few more sips of wine. This time it was a little more urgent, causing Frank to start coughing violently. "He is my comrade...I saved him, and I carried him back on the battlefield..."
Kay knew who Frank was talking about. After all, he was listening the whole time.
Frank gasped, "He's mine!"
"Yes, yes... I don't intend to rob you." Kai could only comfort him. He was really afraid that this guy would faint if he got angry.
Frank's blood-red eyes stared at Kai, very unhappy with his perfunctory tone: "I will be calm until he gives me the answer."
Kai curled his lips and said noncommittally: "Let's go, I think you can't wait any longer. Let's find out about this tonight."
Both he and Frank knew that the previous speculation was highly likely.
Think about it, besides Frank’s relatives, who else in the world knows him so well? As mentioned before, Frank's interpersonal relationships are extremely simple. Apart from his comrades in the army, he basically doesn't have many friends. Even his friends in daily life don't know Frank that well.
You know, no one can guess the safe house in front of you except Kai, who just learned about it today.
Then the person who can find this place must be someone who has an unusual understanding of Frank's various habits. There are very few such people... very few, only a few of them.
Plus that person just now...
Although everything sounds very absurd, the facts are there. Even if Frank doesn't want to believe it, he has to believe it.
Besides, Frank was just in pain, but he never chose to escape.
so……
"Come on, I can't wait any longer. Let's find out about this tonight."
…
Ray Schoonoff smiled and rubbed his son's head, watching him being coaxed to take a bath and sleep by his wife.
When his son gradually fell asleep in the gentle voice of his wife, Lei also stood up. He put on a body armor and then brought a pistol that he would never carry.
"Where are you going? It's so late?" The wife just came out of her son's room and saw Lei put on his coat. It has begun to rain outside now, and the late autumn rain is particularly freezing.
"It's work." Lei said honestly as usual.
Ray has always felt that he has a talent for acting. If his family had not opposed him going to Hollywood, he would not have joined the army. In the eyes of anyone who knows him, Lei is a good, serious and responsible man, even a little honest. He is the epitome of a good husband and father.
Even his wife always thought so.
But in fact, Lei has never had fewer women outside these years, and has even supported three women for a long time, but he has not left any children, because he really loves his wife. He will always leave a bottom line, although the bottom line is relatively low.
"Work, work... don't always think about work. You are not young anymore. You can't be the only one in the army, right? You should take a rest instead."
His wife still knew the nature of Lei's work. Although she never knew what her husband was doing specifically, she always believed that he had been fighting for this country. So she rarely stops him from going to work, but as she gets older, she still hopes that her husband can spend more time with them. In the past, they didn't even dare to have children just because of his job. Now that he finally has a baby, Lei is still busy.
Lei smiled bitterly: "I don't want to either, but what can I do for the life after retirement? Isn't this all for the future of us and our children?"
The wife obviously understands this reason.
Indeed, Lei gave her and her children a very generous life. Their house, car and all their expenses were on par with the upper class. It can be said that all of this was earned by Lei's hard work, so his wife could not refute anything.
"Then be careful, you are not young anymore."
Although I don’t know what Lei’s job is specifically... but looking at these cars and houses, I know that the work is very dangerous, otherwise the salary would not be so high.
Ray smiled and went out.
There were already several special forces soldiers waiting for him outside.
Today, Lei sent his most elite soldiers to clean up hidden dangers. Logically speaking, there should be no problem. But Lei was still a little worried. That's why he left home.
He decided to go to a hut in the woods outside the city, which was secluded and easy to defend. More importantly, it was far away from his family.
Although Lei knew that that person had a very high moral bottom line, he probably wouldn't do anything to women and children... but what if it happened? You know, he killed that person's wife and child, so there's no guarantee that that person won't do harm in return.
And even so, if you fight with the opponent at home, what if you get accidentally injured?
The other party’s wife and children were also injured due to “accidental injuries”!
"Maybe I'm thinking too much..." Lei comforted himself.
…
Soon Lei settled down in the cabin. He sat down on the sofa and pressed the remote control panel to switch the TV series to several news channels. After a while, he frowned and stopped: "Frank is silent?"
According to Lei's prior plan, an explosion would be used to clean up all traces. This kind of movement will definitely attract the attention of all news media, but there has been no movement so far. There was no expected murder in the news, so he could only turn off the TV and want to quietly think about the follow-up.
The sound of the TV disappeared and the whole room fell into silence.
Lei leaned on the sofa, and suddenly his heart tightened: That's not right.
What about the sound of patrols outside?
He was watching the news on TV just now, and there was a lot of people in the room, but he didn't pay attention. Now, the whole house is as quiet as a haunted house. Except for the sound of rain and wind outside the house, there is no sound at all! This is not normal!
Ray's hand reached into the side of the sofa and touched a pistol hidden there, and his eyes slowly scanned the room. His eyes did not move quickly, but he tried to use his peripheral vision to look for possible approaching dangers.
Click!
There was a sound and the door lock was opened.
Just as he was about to pull out the gun in his hand, he heard a deep voice coming from the door: "Lei, long time no see."
Ray's hand paused, but a surprised expression appeared on his face: "Frank, is that you?"
He stood up and turned to the hall. His right hand and the pistol in the gap of the sofa were placed behind him as he turned around.
A burly figure walked in: "It's me."
The man in front of him had a flat head, a trapezoidal face, and a cold expression. His eyes seemed to be flashing with cold light, which made people feel nervous.
Everything is the same as Lei's memory.
The man still came.
But Lei still hid his shock and panic. He had to act very normal. He knew this man too well.
Frank Custer!
This man is like a god of death.
The hand holding the gun behind his back tightened, and his face showed great surprise: "What happened? I have been looking for you for two years since I found out about your accident, but I have never heard from you. Where have you been? Why don't you come? Find me?"
He said to Frank with a bit of sadness: "Come, sit down quickly and tell us what's going on? What happened to Maria, Lisa and little Frank?"
He looks like a good old man who cares about his comrades!
Frank: "No, I just want to ask you a question. Do you know "The Blacksmith"?"
Lei frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. What does he do and where does he operate, so I can look it up."
But in fact, behind his back, Lei was already holding the gun tightly.
Frank was silent.
Ray looked at him, and the gun behind his back moved slowly: "Frank, what's the problem? Tell me, and I will try my best to help you. For the sake of my old comrades... huh?"
Lei couldn't move because the back of his head was pressed against the muzzle of the gun. Lei had been fighting with the gun for most of his life. He knew it was a real gun!
"It looks like it's really him." The person behind him took Lei's gun, a Remington. Signed to Frank.
Frank nodded. The grabber and Lei's pistol outside the door were basically ready for use.
"Frank, don't be ridiculous! I..."
Frank didn't hear anything. He just walked up to Lei, searched his body, and found a pocket pistol from his pocket. This kind of thing is usually used to trick people. The range is very short, but it can't be touched. , there is still a possibility of death. Frank turned off the safety of his pistol and threw it aside.
Then, he sat next to Ray, pulled out his gun and pointed it at him.
"I want to be alone with him for a while," he said to Kai.
Kai shrugged and walked toward the door.
There was dead silence in the room, and Lei's expression kept changing. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
Two minutes later, Frank's breathing became heavier and faster, and with all kinds of thoughts running through his mind, he finally asked the question in his mind: "Did you kill Maria and the others?"
…
Kai looked at the raindrops outside the door while listening to the conversation in the house without restraint.
Ray's full name is Ray Schoonoff. He was a Marine Corps colonel and Frank and Robert's boss before they retired. He has a very good relationship with Frank, because he was Frank's boss when Frank entered the army, and the two of them saved each other's lives on the battlefield.
This is why Frank still finds it hard to believe that Ray would kill his whole family!
Both families are friends! Frank even made Ray the godfather of his children!
He doesn't understand why!
