American comic book: I, with my abundant martial virtue, love to do good to others.

When they arrived at the scene, the situation was far more serious than they had anticipated. The Bloodhawk mutants had already established a defensive perimeter around the warehouse, and the police and FBI teams were being pushed back, suffering heavy casualties. Lynn immediately got out of the car and, together with his team, began searching for a breakthrough. Every step was fraught with danger; the Bloodhawk mutants were clearly professionally trained, their attack speed and reaction time far exceeding the limits of ordinary humans.

Lynn gritted his teeth, rapidly analyzing the situation. The mutants seemed to have used the warehouse's terrain to set a trap, their special abilities clearly being put to good use here. Suddenly, Lynn heard his teammate's call through his headset: "Report, Lynn! We've spotted one of the mutants. His abilities are superhuman strength and endurance; he's practically invincible with ordinary weapons!"

Lynn quickly directed his team to adjust their tactics: "Don't make any rash moves, concentrate your firepower! We must find their weakness!"

Just then, a tremendous roar came from deep within the warehouse, followed by a violent tremor. Lynn instinctively ducked to avoid the impending blast. He stared intently at the warehouse entrance, where a mutant clad in a black bodysuit burst forth, his hands emitting intense light. His entire body was enormous, and his strength was astonishing. The mutant's attack shattered the wall in front of him, rapidly closing in on the police.

"Quick! Retreat!" Lynn shouted, turning sharply to take cover behind a flank. He knew that if they couldn't adjust their strategy in time, the upcoming battle would be extremely dangerous, and they might even be wiped out.

Chaos erupted at the scene. The mutants, using their superhuman abilities, swiftly suppressed the counterattacks of the police and FBI, fully demonstrating the Blood Hawk's formidable strength. Lynn silently resolved that if this raid failed, the consequences would be unimaginable. The enemy wasn't just gangsters; superhuman mutants had joined the fray. The matter was no longer simply about fighting crime; it involved a clandestine collaboration between mutants and the mob.

After a tense firefight, Lynn finally led the remaining members to break through the warehouse's defenses, discovering documents hidden by Bloodhawk members and even more crucial evidence. This evidence confirmed that the Bloodhawk, with the help of mutants, had carried out a large-scale illegal organ trade. These mutants were clearly not unintentionally involved; they were employees of the Bloodhawk, and some were even former members who used their mutant abilities to assist the gang.

"We need to speed things up; these clues will bring us closer to the truth," Lynn told his team, while quickly reviewing more information from the scene.

After the Bloodhawk's warehouse in Las Vegas was destroyed, Lynn and the FBI's joint operation, while achieving an initial victory, quickly found themselves in an awkward situation. The Bloodhawk, like a snake with its head severed, quickly disappeared into the darkness, temporarily lying low. Despite their heavy losses, Lynn knew that this gang was far more complex than it appeared. The hidden network of interests and their operating methods behind the Bloodhawk made them difficult to trace, and the involvement of these mutants further complicated the situation.

Lynn stood in his Las Vegas office, staring at the map and documents before him. He flipped through the files, his brow furrowed, his heart filled with anxiety. Several days had passed, and there was still no news of the Blood Hawk gang. The casinos of Las Vegas remained bustling, but Lynn knew that this seemingly glamorous city was actually concealing more and more of its dark side.

"These people suddenly disappeared; they must be rearranging their plans," Lynn muttered to himself. "But if I continue like this, I won't be able to find their hiding place with these clues alone."

His discussions with Mark didn't yield much progress either. The Las Vegas police were clearly unenthusiastic about the issue; in fact, they offered virtually no effective assistance. Although the police and FBI were nominally working together, Lynn knew that the police's cooperation was far less proactive than he had imagined. Often, the Las Vegas police even responded passively to FBI actions, providing inaccurate intelligence and even exhibiting dereliction of duty and delays.

"Lynn, we need more leads. The Blood Hawk gang obviously won't give up easily," Mark said thoughtfully. "However, the police are incredibly inefficient. The Las Vegas police don't seem to be fully cooperating with us. We need to find a breakthrough elsewhere."

Lynn knew Mark was right; the police inaction was making their work exceptionally difficult. The Las Vegas police seemed unconcerned about the Blood Hawk's threat, and some officers even had some kind of subtle relationship with the gang. Although Lynn had tried his best to change the situation, he was still an outsider, and the complexities of Las Vegas prevented him from getting to the bottom of things; many layers of information were closed to him.

Several days passed, and there was still no news of the Blood Hawk Gang's movements. Lynn looked at the pile of documents, his mood growing increasingly heavy. He tried to contact some local informants, hoping to find clues through unofficial channels, but each response was vague and unreliable. The Las Vegas underworld was unfathomable, and the Blood Hawk Gang clearly knew the direction of their investigation and began to carefully conceal their movements.

Meanwhile, Lynn and Mark's efforts seemed to be going unrewarded. Each time they questioned the police, the response was invariably cold. The tacit approval and tolerance of certain high-ranking officials had brought the FBI investigation to a near standstill. The Las Vegas police's half-hearted efforts seemed to have plunged the city's operations into an awkward state, with superficial cooperation but no real progress.

"Why are they so slow? We've already provided evidence, and they haven't made a move!" Lynn frowned, slamming the documents in his hand onto the table. "We've given them all the leads; these criminals have little room to hide anymore. Why are they still delaying?"

Mark sighed helplessly. "I know you're anxious, but the situation in this city is incredibly complex. You're not a local, and there are many things you don't know. Las Vegas, especially the relationship between law enforcement and the gangs, is very complicated. We can't control the whole situation."

Lynn nodded silently, but he knew in his heart that he had to find a breakthrough and could not continue to stagnate like this.

Just then, Lynn received a phone call from Kate. "Lynn, you really need to look at these materials. I got some useful information from my news sources," Kate said, sounding somewhat anxious.

Lynn quickly answered the phone: "Kate, what happened?"

Kate continued, "I found some Blood Hawk gang activity records in other cities, involving increasingly complex underground transactions. I discovered some clues that could be their funding sources or where they might be conducting organ trafficking again. Although there's no direct evidence, these clues are very worthy of in-depth investigation."

Lynn's eyes lit up, immediately realizing this might be a breakthrough: "Could you send me this information? Where are you referring to?"

"It's Los Angeles." Kate's voice was still anxious. "I've already sent my team of reporters there to investigate. I think this could be a key base for the Blood Hawk's resurgence. See if you can find a breakthrough there."

"Los Angeles?" Lynn frowned. "How do you know they're active in Los Angeles? Do you have enough evidence?"

"Currently, there isn't much evidence, but their fund flows and the activities of certain key figures suggest they have further plans in Los Angeles," Kate patiently explained. "I know you desperately need clues, and I hope this will be helpful."

"Thank you, Kate." Lynn took a deep breath. "This is exactly what we need. I'll contact the team in Los Angeles as soon as possible to see if we can find any more valuable intelligence."

Lynn hung up the phone, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart. Although the investigation in Las Vegas had reached a stalemate, the clues in Los Angeles might help them break through this predicament. Lynn immediately contacted the head of the FBI's Los Angeles office, requesting a full investigation into the Blood Hawk gang's activities in Los Angeles.

Over the next few days, Lynn and Mark's cooperation with the Los Angeles branch intensified. Using intelligence on financial flows and personnel activities provided by Kate, the FBI in Los Angeles began to pinpoint several possible hideouts for the Blood Hawks in the city. Although the Blood Hawks' influence had begun to recede, their financial resources and network still exerted considerable influence in Los Angeles.

However, just as Lynn and the Los Angeles branch's operations were unfolding, the Las Vegas police still failed to provide much effective cooperation. Lynn was furious at the police's inaction in this corrupt city.

Lynn sat wearily in his office, staring at the documents and reports before him. Several days of investigation had yielded some clues, but the overall situation remained largely unchanged. The Las Vegas police's lack of cooperation fueled his anxiety, and the Blood Hawk gang seemed to have successfully concealed their activities, becoming even more secretive. For Lynn, every step of the investigation felt like groping in the dark; although the evidence was still there, he couldn't find a way to directly break through their defenses.

However, during his long period of silence and reflection, Lynn suddenly realized that the core of the Blood Hawk gang wasn't just how they manipulated these gamblers, but a deeper black market transaction—organ trafficking. Their business didn't solely profit from the victims; the real profit chain likely lay with the buyers. Therefore, shifting the focus from the Blood Hawk gang's peripheral members to these organ buyers might force the gang to reveal themselves, further exposing their core activities.

“We can’t just focus on the Bloodhawk gang members; we need to find a way to reach the buyers,” Lynn told Mark. “We need to trace the transactions back to the source and find the people who really need these organs.”

Mark paused for a moment, then nodded. "You mean, we need to find these buyers? If they are legitimate businessmen or wealthy individuals, there could be a large flow of funds. By tracking their financial movements, we might find more clues about the Blood Eagle Gang."

Lynn pondered, "Yes, or find out their connections with some legitimate organizations. We already know where these organs are going, and buyers are obviously easier to expose than sellers. If we can track down their transactions, the Blood Eagles will be forced to show themselves."

So Lynn and Mark began a new direction in their investigation. They no longer focused solely on the Blood Hawk gang members, but turned their attention to those who might be buying illegal organs. Lynn first contacted the FBI's financial division, requesting access to suspicious high-value bank transfer records to identify any transactions related to organ trafficking. A few days later, they had gathered some preliminary information.

These documents reveal irregularities in the accounts of some private hospitals and high-end clinics in Las Vegas. The majority of these institutions' funds originate from obscure wealthy clients who frequently make large payments in opaque ways, with the recipients not being legitimate medical institutions.

"These fund flows are very unusual; some of the money even went into overseas accounts," Lynn explained to Mark while reviewing the documents. "These funds may be related to organ trafficking transactions. The buyers' identities certainly not directly revealed; we need to start with these payment records."

"It seems we're back to the financial chain," Mark nodded. "But these buyers can't be easily exposed. How can we track them down?"

“First, we need to contact the medical institutions that received the funding,” Lynn said after a moment’s thought. “Although these institutions appear legitimate, they may also be involved in illegal transactions. We can find a breakthrough from there.”

A few days later, Lynn and Mark began investigating the managers of these private hospitals and clinics, as well as the investors and money flows behind them. They first focused on a private clinic called "Sunshine Medical Center," which enjoyed a certain reputation in Las Vegas's upper class and was ostensibly an institution providing high-end medical services. However, according to Lynn's investigation, there were a large amount of undisclosed money flowing behind the clinic, and these funds were clearly not paid by regular insurance companies.

Lynn and Mark decided to start with Sunshine Medical Center, contacting some of the clinic's staff to investigate the specific source of these funds. Through some clever means, Lynn successfully learned from a nurse who wished to remain anonymous that some of the clinic's clients did indeed receive "customized" medical services, which were not arranged through formal channels but through underground private intermediaries.

"That's right," Lynn said softly. "Through these underground intermediaries, we might find more clues. The Blood Eagle Gang's business is very likely conducted through these channels." (End of Chapter)
