America: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 169 Three-Star Arrest

After chatting for a few more minutes, the Dongwu sisters warmly invited the leader to their home. Zhang Ailun also decided to go and check on things, just in case anything unexpected happened.

Ask them what they need at home, so you can pick it up for them when you drive over.

Sofia: You don't need anything. We have all the tools we need here. Sir, you can go without wearing anything, didn't you do it last time?

Zhang Ailun: ...I was talking about food, gifts and stuff.

What are you talking about? What's going on in your little head?

Sofia: I'm sorry, sir! I don't know what you mean by those things. Perhaps you could bring some cucumbers, eggplants, or honey and peanut butter?

Zhang Ailun: OK.

This is getting more and more outrageous.

Zhang Ailun was a little helpless and could only tell Dominic that he didn't need to cook for him tonight.

Dominic gave him a suspicious look. He'd just come back and was already leaving again?

"Which girl are you going on a date with this time? Let me guess, it's probably not those two girls from the bar, and it can't be Reina either. You just stayed at a friend's place in the upscale neighborhood a couple of days ago, so are you going to see those two East Ukrainian models?"

"..." How could you guess that?

Zhang Ailun had to admire Dominic's reasoning. Well, actually, it's because the Grand Master's social circle is only so big; he went to one place the day before yesterday, another yesterday, and is going to yet another today.

"Dominic, you'd better not tell Rena."

Otherwise, if the other party finds out that the Grand Master doesn't even visit her when he has time, she will definitely be exploited severely.

"She doesn't care how many women you sleep with," Dominic said dismissively, adding, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

With Dominic's assurance, Zhang Ailun felt reassured and drove his Wrangler away from the bridge camp. He bought some daily necessities and groceries at a supermarket and headed straight for the upscale apartment complex where the Dongwu sisters lived.

It took me a while to get to the community. I sent a message to the other party from outside, and Sophia came to greet me very quickly.

Looking at her casual outfit—a white shirt and denim shorts—Zhang Ailun couldn't help but wonder if the content of her live streams was legitimate.

Following the other person to the entrance of the apartment building in the community, he parked his car next to it and asked, "Are you sure you're doing legitimate mukbang?"

Sofia leaned in and smiled sweetly: "Of course, dear sir, this informal mukbang streamer is just waiting for you to send over delicious food."

Little glutton, I advise you to speak more seriously. Otherwise, the Grand Master might punish you in some way!

Zhang Ailun followed her as she opened the apartment door, went inside, put the groceries in the refrigerator, and went up to the second floor. There he saw Polina showing off her figure and dance moves to the camera. Her artistic performance was indeed good, and her figure was very eye-catching.

I inquired about the short video account that Sophia and her team run, and found their name on the short video platform. They have 20,000 followers. I followed them, and it showed that they were currently live streaming.

Without disturbing their work, Zhang Ailun went downstairs, took a drink from the refrigerator, and sat on the sofa to watch their live stream. Many people gave him tips, but the leader didn't give a penny.

The other party streamed for another two hours. When it got late, they got tired of dancing and announced their end to the stream. I went downstairs, changed my clothes, and took a shower.

Zhang Ailun observed the suspicious people outside. There were indeed many people moving around in the community, but he didn't see the suspect, Lao Hei, or the bounty hunter.

Polina suddenly appeared and invited the Grand Master, "Sir, would you like to take a bath with us?"

After thinking it over, Zhang Ailun readily agreed, "Of course."

He accompanied her into the bathroom, and soon the sound of sobbing could be heard from inside.

It was evening.

Zhang Ailun took the initiative to cook a sumptuous dinner for the two of them. After dinner, they sat on the sofa to watch a movie when suddenly they heard arguing outside.

Zhang Ailun told the two sisters to stay at home and not wander off. He opened the door and went out to take a look. He saw a Ford parked on the side of the road. Several relatively professional bounty hunters, wearing bulletproof vests, carrying microphones and Glock pistols, had found the black man's hiding place and were having a heated argument with the homeowner.

The girl with dyed blue hair, holding a white Chihuahua, said with a displeased expression, "I already said, Hisson isn't in my house. I don't know him. You have no right to enter my house and search it. You've offended me!"

"We've got leads on that wanted criminal and confirmed he was indeed here during the day. You're his friend, and we suspect he's hiding in your house. I've already shown you a search warrant, and now we need to enter your house to investigate. This is our legal right! You must let us in to investigate. If he's hiding in your house and you refuse our search, thus delaying our opportunity to arrest him, you'll be committing the crime of harboring a criminal!" said a bald, white male bounty hunter.

The girl continued to resist, blocking the doorway on the grounds that her private property was inviolable, but this confirmed to the bounty hunter that the old black man was hiding in the house.

"Girl, you don't seem to understand what a search warrant is! It means that if you don't let us search, I'll kick your whole family out and then go in and search yourself!"

After repeated warnings went unheeded, the two bounty hunters simply took matters into their own hands, shoving the girl aside and rushing into the room, where she cried out in panic for help.

They quickly found the black man's trail inside.

Zhang Ailun had no idea what was happening inside; all he heard were the sounds of gunfire.

Then he saw an old black man climb out of the window and run barefoot in the dark night, his shadow barely visible. At that moment, he looked just like Usain Bolt, having lost his shoes.

The girl screamed and covered her head as she ran out of the main entrance, standing on the street in the community, crying, "Help! Sarilang!!!"

The two bounty hunters, who had been so arrogant, did not reappear.

Holy crap! Is this black guy that fierce? He even shredded someone wearing a bulletproof vest?

The bounty will definitely surge again.

But after thinking it over, Zhang Ailun didn't have any intention of intervening. After all, those two bounty hunters went in vertically with guns and hadn't come out horizontally yet.

Money is important, but not as important as life.

Soon, neighbors came out to inquire about what had happened and helped the girl call the police.

A few minutes later, patrol officers from the vicinity arrived at the scene of the crime. After understanding the situation, they also entered the room to investigate and were shocked by the horrific scene.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ailun saw the two bounty hunters being carried out of the house, covered with white sheets, their heads smashed.

The girl sobbed, "I didn't know this would happen. The murderer was just a friend of ours. We met online. He said he had made a small mistake and wanted to stay at my house. I didn't think it was a big deal, so I let him stay."

The neighbors were immediately annoyed when they heard this.

You had a craving for pornography, and it's one thing to let a Black person move in, but you deliberately chose a criminal. And to make matters worse, you harbored him and resisted law enforcement.

Well, you're in for a treat, but the neighbors and the homeowner are in deep trouble, since a murder happened in a rented house.

Two bounty hunters died on the spot because of your obstruction.

A level-three officer reviewed the body camera footage from the bounty hunters and reported the situation to dispatch center with a serious expression: "The Black criminal used a shotgun from the girl's house, and two bounty hunters were accidentally shot in the head and killed. The Black man is currently missing, and we suspect he is still active in the community. Requesting backup!"

The dispatch center responded quickly: "We have notified police officers in the nearby community, and they will arrive at the scene soon. We will also dispatch a special operations dog unit and an air support unit."

The fact that such a murder has occurred, and that the perpetrator is still hiding within the community, is chilling to even think about.

The officer then reprimanded the girl, saying, "According to California law, firearms purchased by citizens must be locked in a closet. When threatened, they can only be used indoors by the homeowner; otherwise, they cannot carry a gun in the street, let alone use it to threaten others. Now that they've been murdered, you can't escape the full force of the law!"

The girl was so frightened that she burst into tears and was completely disoriented, but the police officers didn't hold back and took her directly into the car to be taken to the police station for processing.

Not long after, sirens blared outside, and police cars began to intensify their search around the apartment complex. Police dogs were also brought in to conduct a house-to-house search of the courtyards.

Soon, police officers arrived at the sisters' door with police dogs to check on their safety.

Zhang Ailun didn't open the door for them, but replied from inside, "Everything is normal here, officer. Don't worry. If that black man dares to come here, I will defend myself and notify you immediately."

The police officer confirmed the population information outside, and Zhang Ailun answered him that there was only one man and two women in the house. The officer wanted to confirm further, and in order not to affect their investigation efficiency, Zhang Ailun simply opened the door and took out his CCW ID.

"I am a special person with legal gun ownership rights."

The officers checked the authenticity of the identification documents and then moved on to the next location for investigation.

The remaining police officers completely surrounded the community, and even deployed helicopters to hover overhead, their lights shining on the road and buzzing.

They kept broadcasting through loudspeakers, telling the Black criminals not to hide or resist, but to surrender, and also telling the community residents to stay home and not go out.

Zhang Ailun was also a bit dazed. He opened the window and looked at the police helicopters flying around overhead, the lights projected onto the ground, and the barking police dogs. This was the first time he had ever experienced a crime scene.

A wanted black man shoots a bounty hunter and escapes; the incident is extremely serious, so this deserves at least three stars!

Polina and Sofia were also a little frightened and sought comfort in the Grand Master's arms.

That black guy truly lived up to his reputation as a night elf. A dozen police officers, along with police dogs and a helicopter, searched the apartment complex for over an hour before finally finding the other party's trail under a manhole cover.

The sound of gunfire was deafening; one might mistake it for a battlefield in the Middle East.

Zhang Ailun looked out the window at the fire rising from the area. Police officers rushed to provide support one after another. The shooting lasted for about three minutes before it quickly stopped.

From afar, you can see the ambulance that was called heading to the shooting location. An old black man was carried out on a stretcher, and he was obviously also badly injured.

There were at least several hundred shots!

Police officers also drove around the community to inform residents that the incident was over, the perpetrator had been arrested, there was no longer any threat, and residents could move around freely.

Old Hei was indeed arrested.

With his body completely smashed, how could he possibly avoid being arrested?

Zhang Ailun regrets the $4,000 bounty, but even if he's alive to collect it, he has to be alive to spend it.

Those two professional bounty hunters were only delayed by that foolish girl, and they paid the price with their lives!

Seeing that the matter was over, Zhang Ailun simply took the two sisters upstairs to wash up and go to bed.

The next day.

Zhang Ailun woke up in his soft, large bed in his apartment, feeling refreshed.

I took out my phone and checked it. I found that the Opportunity Network app had a notification of the number of transactions in the background.

Alfred Scrap Metal Recycling Company. At 1:26 AM, an anonymous customer repeatedly viewed item A001 on shelf [Brand New BMW Run-flat Tires x4]. At 4:50 AM, the anonymous customer placed an order and paid the full amount at address xx. Please ship as soon as possible.

凌晨2:45分，有匿名顾客浏览了货架A002号货物【1986年经典款鹰扬金币收藏品［线下面谈］】，凌晨2:46分，匿名顾客下单支付了100美元的订金并留言。

The BMW run-flat tires sold out so quickly, they were quite popular. The only downside was that after deducting a $200 platform fee, I could only withdraw $8600 to my card after the transaction was completed.

Sure enough, there were people interested in the 1986 Eagle Gold Coin, who even paid a deposit and wanted to trade it offline.

Why is nobody paying attention to that rocket thruster?

Zhang Ailun glanced at the screen and saw that some people had indeed browsed the page, but no one had left a message or placed an order.

Zhang Ailun also sent a message to Dominic, along with an introduction to the Eagle Gold Coins: if a customer comes in, sell it directly for $16000, telling him that it is a complete set of collectible gold coins minted by West Point in 1986, including 1-ounce, 1/2-ounce, 1/3-ounce, and 1/4-ounce gold coins, and will not sell for less than $14000.

If the transaction is not completed, the deposit will be refunded.

If he doesn't buy it, plenty of others will!

Dominic: Okay! I'll go work at the recycling center after I finish breakfast.

Zhang Ailun also sent a message to Sig: Have you made the key I asked you to?

Sig: It's all set up.

Zhang Ailun: [Delivery Note] Remember to deliver those run-flat tires to this address after you get up.

Sig: OK.

The customer's location wasn't far; it was a repair shop in a small town in Los Angeles County, where the delivery was made within the same city. So, we could just have Sieg drive his pickup truck with the tires and deliver them there, saving time and allowing us to get payment sooner.

After assigning them tasks, Zhang Ailun got up, washed up, dressed, and went downstairs. He saw the two sisters making breakfast; a delicious spread was already laid out on the table. He went over to take a look: pickles, sausages, bacon, fried eggs, bread, and milk.

Well, I guess I can't expect too much.

Let's just eat whatever we want.
