Chapter 169 Nighttime Infiltration of the Enemy Camp, Bullet Time
Miranda warned that the FBI was conducting a sting operation.
When these keywords strung together in Bauer's mind, his first reaction was that he had been tricked.
Because there are just too many suspicious points about this matter.
First, does the FBI have any Asian agents? Yes, but they make up a very small percentage, about 5%.
Second, the FBI recruits Asian agents to handle cases in the same ethnic community. What right do you have to tell me what to do, you white man?
Third, does it really need to go through such a long and complicated process to arrest someone? And to impersonate someone from Nantong to infiltrate the operation – is that reasonable? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?
Could it be reinforcements Ellie brought? It's possible, and very likely!
After all, those kids had been missing for half a month. During this time, Principal Corey was almost frantic and secretly sent several groups of people to search for them, but without exception, all of them ended in failure.
At this critical juncture, someone claiming to be an FBI agent suddenly showed up at their door. Where did he get his information from? Besides Ellie and her group, who else could transmit information about the inner workings of Angel City to the outside world?
But how could a bunch of homeless people know which way the FBI door faces? So there must be something fishy going on here.
Thinking of this, Bauer mustered his courage and asked, "Buddy, did that little bitch Ellie send you? What kind of benefits did she promise you?"
Before he could finish speaking, Max stepped forward and kicked him in the stomach, causing the guy to howl in pain and cold sweat to stream down his forehead.
"You see, my colleague has a bad temper, so from now on, you need to be as polite and courteous as possible when you speak, understand?"
Bauer was in too much pain to speak, and could only nod painfully to show that he understood, which was in line with his stereotypical image of the FBI.
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." Ma Jie didn't waste any more words with him: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Leon Scott Kennedy, you can call me Agent Leon, and I belong to the CEPU under the Criminal Investigation Department."
(Child Protection Team), I received an anonymous tip detailing the criminal activities within Angels City. As Principal Corey's assistant, I believe no one knows more about the inside story than you. That's why my colleagues and I contacted you. Are you willing to cooperate with the FBI investigation?
"What?" Sure enough, when his crime was exposed, Bauer immediately denied it: "I'm sorry, Sir, I don't understand what you're talking about. I do work at the educational institution you mentioned, but I've never heard of anything related to illegal or criminal activities. Oh, by the way, you may have only heard one side of the story and haven't done any in-depth research. Most of the children sent to Angel City are problem students. If they are not properly managed, they can easily become a threat to society when they grow up. Therefore, taking some necessary unconventional measures may appear to those who don't know the full story as unfair treatment and corporal punishment."
"Go to hell with your ignorance!" Max was so angry after he finished explaining that he almost ground his teeth to powder and started punching and kicking the guy.
Ma Jie didn't stop her. People need to vent their tempers; otherwise, what if they bottle it up and it causes problems?
After Max got tired of beating him, Bauer, an accomplice, panted heavily and became even more aggressive: "Even if you beat me to death, I'll still say the same thing: no means no. This is torture to extract a confession; it's a real crime. I'm going to report you to the authorities. What's your name?"
Max was about to continue beating him when MaJack stopped him, a mysterious smile creeping onto his lips. "Alright, buddy, since you mentioned unconventional methods, I'll let you experience what that's like. In the process, you'd better think carefully about whether you have a way out, okay?"
He then gestured to Trevor in the helicopter cockpit, who immediately started the engine, and the main rotor roared to life, rapidly accelerating its rotation.
The next step is to push the collective pitch lever to allow the fuselage to escape gravity and slowly climb upwards.
"What are you doing?! What are you trying to do?!" The other end of the rope binding Bauer was tied to the landing gear, so he was lifted into the air as well.
"Have a pleasant journey." Ma Jie waved goodbye to him with a cheeky grin, while the helicopter flew higher and higher, leaving him hanging headfirst in mid-air like a giant silkworm.
"Let me go, let me go, you bunch of bastards! I have acrophobia, I'll die, I'll die!"
""
Bauer's screams were drowned out by the noise of the helicopter starting up, but it was clearly too late.
You think that's all? Once he climbed to a height of over a hundred meters, Trevor began his personal showcase of skill.
First, there were a few appetizers, such as a large yaw of the fuselage for side flight, a sudden stop, and then inverted flight.
Then comes the appetizer: rapid low-altitude flight followed by a death spin. The former is an ultra-low-altitude flight technique that uses terrain, trees, and other obstacles as cover, flying with the undulations of the terrain to avoid radar and ground fire.
The latter is a stunt for performance purposes, which involves constantly changing the position of the nose and tail while hovering, making the helicopter spin around like a top.
Next comes the main course: a classic tactical maneuver. The aircraft dives at high speed towards the mountain, and just as it is about to crash into the mountain, it pulls up sharply, ascends almost vertically, and decelerates, much like pulling up a scallion from dry land.
Finally, a complimentary dessert will be provided. Type 0 landing, also known as combat landing, means that the landing does not involve the traditional deceleration-hovering-vertical descent.
Instead, it uses a continuous, compact, high-G maneuver to trace a trajectory resembling the letter "0", and lands quickly and accurately at the target point.
With this amazing value package, even just standing there as a spectator, let alone participating in person, will make your heart race.
Looking at Bauer now, who was nearly fainting from fright, he was lying on the grass, his eyes rolling back and foaming at the mouth, as if his body had returned to the real world while his soul was still floating in the sky.
"Have you thought it through, buddy? Want to team up with me?"
Ma Jiek squatted down in front of him and continued to put pressure on him. Words are very weak when dealing with this kind of person; only real punishment can be effective.
Seeing that he was playing dead and wouldn't say a word, MaJack shouted to Trevor, "Looks like the effect isn't great, let's do another lap!"
"No, no, please don't, cough cough cough..."
Hearing that he had to repeat the agonizing ordeal he had just endured, Bauer quickly opened his eyes: "I'll talk, I'll tell you everything, but I request to join the witness protection program. I know you have this policy."
The so-called Witness Protection Program is a set of rules designed by the FBI.
The specific gameplay involves promising to help a member of a criminal gang escape or mitigate legal punishment if they are caught. If necessary, they will also provide a new identity and relocation to protect the member's subsequent life from being affected.
But the price is that you have to expose the ringleader, accomplices, and henchmen; to put it bluntly, you have to betray the team's interests in exchange for personal gain.
This tactic has proven highly effective in solving major cases and dismantling criminal gangs because it directly targets human nature, which is the most vulnerable to temptation.
"Okay, I'll grant your request."
Seeing that he was about to give up resistance, Ma Jie naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him anymore, since the main purpose of this trip was to collect evidence of his crimes.
Sure enough, during the subsequent questioning, Paul Alexandras confessed without hesitation. Although there were slight discrepancies between what Ellie and Evans said, the overall account was largely the same, which showed that he did not dare to lie.
In the end, they successfully got the safe's combination. Since the two were in the same boat, Corey revealed everything to him. To put it bluntly, it was like pulling someone onto a pirate ship, similar to the FBI sharing spoils with unofficial personnel. Everyone's rolling around in the mud together; do you expect to get away with it cleanly? Don't even dream about it.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Ma Jie decided to infiltrate Angel City now and get things done under the cover of darkness.
As for teammates, he chose Franklin to be with him, and Trevor to pilot the helicopter as an off-field support.
As for Max and Jimmy, one was too obvious a target, and the other was a complete weakling. For this operation, they had already fulfilled their mission.
The vehicle drove straight in, reaching the entrance to Angel City, and unsurprisingly alerted the night shift security guard.
Seeing that the principal's assistant was in the car, the other party didn't think much of it and simply let them pass.
Since it was nighttime, there was no one on campus, and with Bauer's guidance, they arrived at the principal's office without any hindrance.
Opening the fingerprint lock, I easily sneaked into the office and immediately spotted the safe in the corner. It was all black and gray and about the size of a small refrigerator.
"Quick, open the box." Urged by MaJack, Bauer hurriedly entered the password.
Beep beep beep... Suddenly, a red light lit up on the external display screen of the electronic lock, accompanied by an error message.
Seeing this, Ma Jie instinctively pulled out his gun and pressed it against the man's temple, threatening, "Are you messing with me? Believe me, I'll blow your head off right now!"
"No, no, absolutely not, I'll try again."
Bauer broke out in a cold sweat and carefully entered the password again, but it still resulted in an error.
"NONONO, don't shoot! I swear on my integrity, this password is absolutely correct."
"So it was modified at the last minute?" Ma Jie boldly guessed.
"Possibly, considering the recent mass exodus of students from the school; perhaps even some of their belongings were moved?"
Transfer? Ma Jieke laughed and immediately activated his max-level Appraisal skill.
The FirstAlert all-steel security safe features a new generation of smart electronic combination locks and has a market price of 700.
Knife.
Internal Items List: Numerous indecent photos and videotapes (view with caution), a handwritten blacklist (all members are faculty and staff within Angel City).
That's it? Upon seeing this message, Ma Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it wasn't a mysterious list like the one in the Epstein case.
Otherwise, if the investigation has reached this stage, it should have been stopped in time to minimize the damage; otherwise, it would have faced sanctions from mysterious forces.
Have you heard of a suicide case where someone was shot eight times in the back, with homicide ruled out?
This situation is pretty much as I expected. There really isn't just one demon. But that's fine too. I'll send them all to hell!
However, the current problem is that they don't know the password. The evidence is so close, separated only by a steel plate, yet they can't get their hands on it.
"Brother, I have an idea." When they were in a dilemma, Franklin offered a suggestion: "We can steal the box first, and then figure out how to open it. I know a lock-picking expert who is very good at this."
"Alright, that's the only way."
Ma Jieke knew very well that every second he stayed in this place would increase the risk by another second.
The key is that this method is entirely feasible, because a home safe weighs at most 70KG. If one person can't move it, can't two people?
Not to mention safes, even ATMs in the banking system are frequently stolen. Criminals take advantage of the night when no one is around, drive in a forklift to pry them open, their main goal being pleasure and freedom.
Once he made up his mind, he acted immediately. Using his strength advantage, Ma Jie grabbed the two corners of the safe and slowly moved it out from the corner.
As soon as he finished doing this, it seemed that he had accidentally triggered a hidden alarm device, causing the alarms to go off throughout the office.
"Damn it, hurry up!" Without thinking, he and Xiao Fu quickly worked together to forcibly move the safe out and stuff it horizontally into the trunk of the Adventurer Bison.
After getting in the car, I floored the accelerator and drove at full speed toward the entrance of Angel City. The security guard on duty reacted quickly and closed the electric sliding gate immediately.
If he were to crash into it head-on, the car would definitely be destroyed and people would die, so Xiao Fu didn't dare to do something so reckless and had to slow down and stop first.
"What should we do, Jack?" Franklin was at a loss.
"What else can we do but fight them?" Ma Jie said, reaching for a weapon on the gun rack on the roof of the car.
The SR-15 military-grade 5.56mm semi-automatic combat rifle, which I got from the last "Warehouse Treasure Hunt" competition.
Semi-automatic means that only one bullet can be fired after pulling the trigger, while fully automatic means that you can fire continuously by holding down the trigger.
According to U.S. federal law, individuals are strictly prohibited from possessing any type of fully automatic firearm, so it is very rare to see fully automatic firearms in civilian life.
Of course, the combat zones, led by Texas, are an exception, where gun control is extremely lax, and even people without gun licenses can buy guns.
As long as you can afford it, nobody will care if you buy anti-tank guns.
The implication is that the police have no idea who owns a gun because none of the gun owners are registered, allowing for a high degree of freedom.
Even the most powerful gang members have to learn to behave themselves when they set foot on Texas soil, or they'll easily get shot.
When they saw that Ma Jieke was getting out of the car with a gun, the two security guards on night duty didn't stand on ceremony with him and promptly took out two Type 56 rifles from the guard room.
This gun was produced by Dongda University. Because of its high quality and low price, it is very popular in the US arms market. It is also a semi-automatic rifle.
To reiterate, legally speaking, as long as the other party pulls out a gun, or has the intention to do so, you have the right to take them down.
Moreover, those who can serve as guards in government agencies, schools, hospitals, and similar places are generally veterans, whose shooting skills are undoubtedly excellent.
Bang! The moment the gunshot rang out, the entire world instantly went into pause mode.
Faced with a bullet that was clearly visible flying closer and closer, Ma Jieke gasped.
Smash...smash Warudo?
