America, starting as a trainee police officer
Chapter 45 Memphis Falls into the Net
They still dared to make demands when they saw Steve.
Li Wei and Veronica exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
What do you want to gain?
Hearing Li Wei say that, Steve thought he had a chance, coughed, and just as he opened his mouth, Li Wei grabbed him by the throat.
It made a coughing sound.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you." Li Wei leaned closer to listen.
"If you don't tell me, I'll assume you have no other requests."
The hand gripping Steve's throat did not loosen its grip at all.
Steve grabbed Levi's wrists with both hands, trying to pry his hands off.
He truly sensed that the seemingly harmless Asian police officer in front of him really wanted to kill him.
He struggled incessantly, but unfortunately, he was no match for Li Wei in terms of strength.
"I'll give you ten more seconds... ten... nine... I forgot the middle part... one."
At this point, Li Wei released Steve's throat.
Steve took deep breaths.
"You, you clearly didn't make any demands, yet you still made them. Really," Li Wei said, shaking his head as he scolded Steve.
Upon hearing this, Steve couldn't help but mentally curse. He had never seen such a shameless person before. Was he unwilling to speak, or was he being prevented from speaking?!
But Li Wei's actions also made him realize his own position.
They were soldiers, and he was a thief.
Steve had absolutely no bargaining chips.
...
With Steve, the mole, around, Levi and Veronica are making much faster progress than Roland and the others.
While Roland was still figuring out why Memphis had returned to the city, Levi and Veronica were already stuck in the tedious task of keeping watch.
Outside Otto's renovation plant.
Veronica looked through binoculars at the refurbishment plant that had been converted from a car dismantling factory.
"Memphis, Downey, Otto. Tsk tsk tsk, these are all old guys. Only someone like Memphis could get these retired old fogies to go back to the seas."
"So, besides catching Calitley, we can also take down all these veteran car thieves in one fell swoop?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wei's eyes lit up.
With so many people, the system's rewards will definitely be substantial.
"Hmm, as long as we send more people to keep an eye on them, they'll be caught when the truck is loaded and headed to Pier 14."
Hearing this, Li Wei nodded.
...
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the early morning before the delivery.
Levi and Veronica were already waiting at Pier 14 for the main group to arrive.
"Alright, forty-nine cars have come in now, just one more to go."
Veronica put away her binoculars and looked at Levi beside her.
"Honestly, is there a difference between forty-nine and fifty units? Shouldn't that be enough for us to apply for a search warrant?"
"Hmm, this evidence is enough for the District Attorney's Office to issue a search warrant for the Calitley scrap metal recycling plant."
"Cool, shall we split up? I'll go after Memphis, and you lead the search for Calitley?"
To be honest, Li Wei is still a trainee police officer, so making this request is a bit against the rules.
Police officers in their probationary period are not allowed to conduct law enforcement alone.
But the other party was Veronica, an FBI agent who would stop at nothing for merit, so she naturally didn't care much about procedural matters.
"Okay, shall we meet at the Long Beach Police Department?"
"It's a date!"
After saying that, Li Wei opened the car door and was about to get out.
"etc……"
Veronica called out to him at that moment. Over the past few days, the two of them had been either keeping watch on each other or playing cards, helping Veronica to control her drug addiction.
As the fight went on, Veronica found herself developing feelings for this young, newly recruited rookie police officer.
"What?" Levi asked Veronica curiously.
"It's nothing." After saying that, Veronica leaned forward and kissed Levi on the lips.
"be safe."
This sudden display of gentleness made Li Wei raise an eyebrow: "I understand."
...
Long Beach International Plaza, underground parking garage.
Li Wei looked at the information in his hand; it was the car theft address that Steve had obtained by infiltrating the team.
The last car.
1967, Ford Shelby Mustang GT500.
The overall streamlined design, coupled with a fastback shape that was quite avant-garde for that era.
The hood is made of fiberglass and features large dual air intakes.
The engine is 7.0L with a dual four-chamber carburetor, and is rated at 355 horsepower and 570 Nm of maximum torque.
Back then, it was an absolute performance beast.
But if we're just talking about performance, many cars can compare to this GT500 Shelby.
The most remarkable feature of this Mustang is not its performance, but the fact that only 2048 were produced in 1967.
It is a financial product belonging to the automotive industry.
This also resulted in there being very few GT500s in the entire city of Los Angeles.
The one at the address Steve gave us is the only one that's most likely to be stolen.
Li Wei sat in the Camry, his eyes fixed on the GT500 across from him, waiting for Memphis to appear.
Another ten minutes passed, and Memphis did not disappoint him.
He crept up to the GT500, looked around to make sure no one was watching, then took out his car-stealing tools and unlocked the door.
[Target detected in the act of committing a crime: Memphis Rains]
[Criminal Activity: Car Theft]
[Arrest Reward: Blank Skill Book x3]
"Memphis Raines, hands up!"
The sound of a gun being cocked, accompanied by Levi's shout, startled Memphis.
But Memphis was just a car thief, not a ruthless gangster like Calitley.
He immediately raised his hands to indicate his surrender.
Levi approached, preparing to pull out handcuffs to cuff Memphis, but Memphis was preoccupied with Chip and naturally wouldn't surrender so easily.
He was quite skilled and planned to beat Li Wei to the ground and escape.
But to his surprise, Li Wei grabbed his wrist with one hand, and the immense force made it impossible for him to move.
Seeing that force wasn't working, Memphis decided to try a softer approach.
Click! At that moment, the handcuffs were fastened to one of his hands.
"Listen, I don't know who you are, whether you're a cop or something, but this is my brother, Chip. He'll die if I don't steal this car! Please, have mercy on me!"
Click! His other hand was also handcuffed by Li Wei.
Mission Completed: Arrest Memphis Rains. Reward: 3 Blank Skill Books
"Don't worry, your brother will be fine. Kaliteli has probably been caught by now."
Li Wei comforted the older brother.
He quite admired Memphis's sense of responsibility in saving his brother from dire straits.
He's a real man, but unfortunately, he's got quite a few rewards to his name, so I can't find a reason to let him go.
"What? What do you mean?"
Memphis was caught by Levi in front of the Camry that belonged to the FBI.
"We've been watching you for days, or rather, we've been watching Calitley for a long time. Now the stolen cars at Pier 14 in Long Beach are enough to warrant a search."
"Kalitley is finished."
After saying that, Li Wei patted Memphis on the shoulder.
Upon hearing this news, Memphis's expression froze at first, then he burst into uncontrollable laughter: "Hahahaha! Ahahaha! Hahahaha!"
