US police: outlaws

Chapter 49: Rocket Launcher in the Rainy Night

Five days later, Evelyn put the thief she had just caught into the car and saw Ethan playing on his phone again, so she couldn't help but complain.

"Hey sir, if you keep using your phone, I'm going to report you."

"Just glancing at my phone."

Evelyn looked very dissatisfied, just like yesterday when they were filming a promotional video for the city's police department; she just played on her phone and refused to participate.

Please, this is Los Angeles County, right in the heart of Hollywood. Who knows, after the promotional video comes out, someone might even offer her a role in a gay romance film, even though her father has long said she should stay out of the entertainment industry and become a police officer—that's still a temptation for a woman.

"You'll definitely regret not participating in the promotional video shoot yesterday. You could have been in the center position if you had."

Li Yisen stopped what he was doing and asked.

"Who notified you to film a promotional video?"

"Commander Hank, all four of us took pictures."

Lee Esen pointed at the policewoman's head.

"Please use your brain. If it were really a promotional video, would that old man Hank have notified you? It would definitely be someone from the Department of Internal Affairs, and their position would definitely not be low. It's even possible that the minister himself would come forward. This is a regional recruitment promotional video, so you've all been fooled. You've all made a fool of yourselves by filming this video. Get ready to be laughed at by everyone tomorrow."

Li Yisen recalled what he had witnessed yesterday: four newcomers shouting nonsensical words with their clumsy acting.

"A new day begins, let's contribute to the city again with a cup of coffee."

"The beauty of our city is inseparable from the police at every moment."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

"Anyone can contribute and become a member of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department."

Evelyn was stunned. After digesting the shock, she became angry again and grabbed at Ethan with both hands.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? We're partners, you should have informed me."

Li Yisen pressed his forehead against the policewoman's, preventing her from getting closer.

"Because I want to see it too."

"..."

The prisoners behind the vehicle were all convinced and are now on duty.

Just then, a figure passed by not far away, causing Li Yisen to abandon his playful thoughts.

It really was him, that person.

Lee Ethan recalled the man who found the homeless man in The Shining. Although his mouth was covered by a gas mask, his eyes and the scar on his forehead were exactly the same. He was also the deputy captain of the Jichao Medical Experimentation Institute.

For the past five days, whenever he had free time, he used various channels to learn about the Jichao Medical Research Institute and its employees. The institute has a total of 89 people, including 40 researchers who specialize in various special drugs, such as those for cancer.

They eventually discovered his name was Dick Hughes.

"I've found you."

.

That evening, Dick Hughes, drunk after a night of drinking due to his recent earnings, took a taxi home. His home was located in a middle-class neighborhood.

"Haha, another great day, I wish I could do it again."

As Dick Hughes walked through a dark alley, he seemed to see something, so he stopped and stuck his head out to take a closer look.

"What the heck...."

Before Dick Hughes could finish speaking, a pair of gloved hands reached out and covered his mouth, dragging the man into the darkness, a medicinal smell wafting out.

A moment later, Li Yisen, wearing a mask and a face covering, sat in a Hummer H2 carrying a sack; the license plate was fake.

The car drove towards the suburbs. After three months as a patrol officer, he knew the road conditions of this small city very well. The surveillance cameras were there, and he knew the patrol routes.

At worst, he could find a place to park and, under the cover of darkness, put the Hummer back into the system.

In the abandoned factory, a bowl of cold water was poured on Dick Hughes.

"Wake up."

Dick Hughes slowly woke up to find himself in an unfamiliar, abandoned building.

"Who are you? Help! Help!"

"Snap"

The slap stunned Dick Hughes.

"Shut up. I'll ask you questions and you can answer them, or you can choose not to. For every question I ask, I'll punch you, and you can use that book as a cushion."

Dick Hughes followed Lee Ethan's gaze and saw a large hammer, weighing at least 10 kilograms, while the book was only 5 centimeters thick.

"People will die! No way!"

"Smack."

One slap and the other side of his face turned red, and he became docile.

"Behave yourself, or first I'll hit you with a hammer for 80 cents, then I'll stick a toothpick under your fingernail, then I'll rub salt into your wound and put ants in it."

Dick Hughes, a man who had done many dirty jobs, turned pale with fright. How could there be so many torture methods?

Li Yisen didn't waste any words with the other party and went straight to the point.

"I know you're involved in disinfecting the sewers and, incidentally, burning homeless people to death."

How did you know?

Li Yisen grabbed the other person's hair.

"I'll ask you a question, you answer. Enough with the nonsense. Looks like it's time for a hammer blow."

With one blow from Li Yisen, the man who had been screaming in pain finally quieted down.

"Tell me about the GeneTide Medical Laboratory and your parent company, BioInnovation."

Three hours later, Li Yisen had asked all the questions he should and shouldn't have asked, and then shot the repentant guy directly. This guy wasn't enlightened; he just knew he was going to die, and besides, he hadn't said he'd spare his life.

The body was buried directly on the edge of the mountain, but it is very likely to be dug out by wild dogs or the like.

Li Yisen asked that the laboratory's accidents were not one or two times, but occurred every one or two years. For example, this accident was caused by uninactivated experimental adenovirus and contaminated animal carcass disposal fluid being accidentally discharged into the sewer.

Most of the people responsible for handling the trouble are professionals sent by the parent company, Bio-Innovation. They are very experienced in both disinfection and personnel management. Of the 30 security personnel at the GeneChao Medical Research Institute, only 10 are qualified to participate.

The last dirty thing Dick Hughes did was kill the entire family of six who discovered a problem with a new drug at the research institute.

In addition, the Jichao Medical Laboratory and various local forces have a business of buying and selling corpses. To test the efficacy of drugs for a certain age group, they need corpses of that age, or even children. The most expensive are deformed children.

Sometimes, in order to bring new drugs to market faster, even living human subjects may be used.

.

Los Angeles is prone to various natural disasters in the fall and winter, such as wildfires and torrential rains. That's right, Los Angeles experiences dry summers and heavy rains in the winter.

The rain brought a chill to this West Coast city, and also seemed to wash away the city's sins.

Outside, it was pouring rain, but inside the director's office of the Chi-Chao Medical Laboratory, singing and dancing filled the air as a man and a woman danced.

The owner of this laboratory is Oscar Morris, a 59-year-old graduate of MIT with a degree in biomedical sciences.

"Bridget, do you think I look good in this dress?"

The beautiful woman in her thirties glanced at the older man.

"That suits you perfectly. By the way, what happened to Josaya and the others?"

Oscar Morris touched his secretary's buttocks.

Who is Josiah?

"The cleaner who helped us clean up the waste spill may be dead."

Oscar Morris waved his hand, looking indifferent.

"So what if they're dead? Anyway, all the trouble and potential threats have been dealt with, and they don't know our real secret. But you should also make sure to contact the next batch of hyenas, so that we have enough people to use them later."

"Yes."

"Come on, come with me to a charity gala. I can introduce you to some important people today."

"Director, you're so kind."

.

The gates of the research institute, located in the north of the city, opened, and a car drove out, next to a river that was gradually becoming turbulent.

On a small hill not far from the highway, Li Yisen, wearing a raincoat, stared at the heavy rain and waited.

He's off work today, and he knows his goal is to attend the charity gala, since it's been reported in the news.

Li Yisen looked up at the overcast sky and wondered if it was good luck or bad luck. In the heavy rain, he could only make out the model of the vehicle but not the license plate, so he had to get closer to the road.

"Are they here?"

The vehicle looked exactly like the one they were looking for—a black Rolls-Royce.

Without hesitation, Li Yisen took out a metal object, which was an M72 rocket launcher.
