American Detective: Starting as a Rookie Cop in an American TV Show

Chapter 1427 Attack and Pursuit

In the end, the meeting ended with Gianni Moretti II leaving in anger, and the three people hiding in the car outside the club watched the luxury cars leave one after another with dazed expressions.

It's like punching with all your strength and hitting cotton, or struggling for a long time only to find that you are fighting a battle of wits and courage with the air.

Is this the level of the mafia these days? Then what were they worrying about for so long about the so-called gang war?
At least 1200 million US dollars in bribes have been paid out to Leya, not only to buy off "HR", but even the next mayor is being planned. As a result, LCN is still unaware of it.

So do these old guys really think that the recent calm in New York City is a sign that the NYPD is cleaning up public security in advance of the mayoral election a week later?

"Either these old guys have been living in comfort for too long and have become bloated and slow to react, or we are mistaken and Lai Ya really just wants to cooperate with other families to jointly seize Moretti's power and territory."

Reese started the car and followed the black Mercedes that Caparelli was riding in, the last to leave.

Jack doubted his latter statement, "Remember that bad cop Simmons Patrick? He met with Detective Fusco last night."

"Did Detective Fusco say anything?" Finch asked, fiddling with his new glasses in the back seat of the car.

Patients with high myopia all have this distress. Even if the power of the new lenses is exactly the same as the original ones, it will still take at least one to two days to get used to them again due to issues such as focal length.

If the lens is poorly made, it can also cause problems such as dizziness.

"He was asked to keep an eye on Detective Danny Regan's every move and report at any time. Simmons told Detective Fusco very bluntly that the Major Crimes Unit was expected to be very 'busy' during this period."

The NYPD's major crime squad is also called the homicide squad, so it's almost self-evident what Simmons' "reminder" means.

Reese rubbed his brows with a headache, "Perhaps we can stop Mr. Caparelli in front and give him a kind reminder that Lai Ya has no intention of coexisting peacefully with them.

Instead of following his car aimlessly like an incompetent bodyguard like now. "

Finch's voice sounded a little serious. "Let's not talk about whether these arrogant gangsters will believe you, Mr. Reese. If you do this, it may lead to a full-scale gang war, which is exactly what we don't want to see.

The best way is to find the kidnapped Moretti, so that the FBI can at least charge Lea with kidnapping."

Before he could finish his words, Jack felt a sudden sense of crisis.

This feeling is a bit vague, it doesn't seem to be directed at me, but rather it seems to be directed towards the front.
"Reese, stop the car!"

Following Jack's roar, Reese subconsciously stepped on the brakes and turned his head left and right to look around.

Finch, who was sitting in the back seat, was caught off guard and almost bumped his head against the back of the seat in front of him. Unlike the well-trained former CIA agent, his reaction in this regard was worse than that of an ordinary person.

"What happened?" Finch hadn't finished his complaint when he heard a loud noise coming from the front. The black Mercedes in which Caparelli, one of the leaders of the five major LCN families, was riding suddenly exploded. In almost an instant, the whole car was engulfed in flames.

Caparelli, his bodyguards and the driver in the car did not even have time to struggle before they turned into four charred corpses.

Although there was another car between the black Mercedes-Benz and the car that exploded, debris from the explosion continued to fall, smashing the roof and windshield. Two unlucky pedestrians who were about to cross the road were knocked to the ground by the shock wave of the explosion, their heads were broken and bleeding, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.

"You're right about the collateral damage, Finch."

Reese was about to unbuckle his seat belt and get out of the car to check on the injured passers-by when Jack touched his arm.

"I remember you mentioned that you had seen two of Leah's men during the Brighton Beach incident. One of them had a scar from his left eyelid to his cheek."

Reese looked in the direction Jack pointed, and saw a silver-gray Dolan Tahoe SUV that was originally parked on the side of the road just started up, and the driver in the driver's seat looked exactly as he described.

Almost at the same time as the explosion occurred, Jack was looking around for suspicious circumstances.

This type of attack, in which bombs are installed on cars, is unlikely to involve the use of time bombs, unless the people from Asia can predict the end time of the meeting of the LCN decision-makers, otherwise there are too many variables.

The safer approach is remote detonation, and there are many ways to do it. The safest way is to press the detonator within visual range and make sure the target is inside the car.

Therefore, Jack immediately looked for a suspicious person at the scene. The guy who was hiding in a car on the roadside and remained calm and even sneered when seeing the sudden explosion was obviously the most suspicious one.

"Yes, it's this bastard! He also beat up Fusco!" Reese stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel to the limit.

The second-hand Ford Taurus, which he got from nowhere, suddenly turned around with a squeaking sound of tires hitting the ground. Finch, who was sitting in the back seat, had to grab the handle above the window to barely keep his face from sticking to the glass.

"There's a weapon in the trunk, Finch!"

Hearing Reese's reminder, Finch hurriedly lifted the baffle connecting to the trunk and dragged out a travel bag with great effort.

When he opened the travel bag, he found two AUG assault rifles with a bullpup design, a pile of magazines and several grenades.

Finch tried to help load the magazine, but failed after two attempts.

As Jack took the gun and magazine from him, he didn't forget to complain to Reese, "When did you start playing with this old gun?"

"I use whatever the black market arms dealers have. Stolen guns are not easy to track and don't cost extra money." Reese seemed to be quite proud of this kind of thing where gangs rob gangs.

Jack quickly checked the condition of the AUG in his hand and found that it was well maintained. He pulled the bolt to load the gun directly, and reminded, "Follow closely, and start when there are fewer people."

Finch, who was holding another AUG and was at a loss, seemed to have just woken up from a dream. His eyes widened behind his highly myopic lenses. "You guys are planning to have a gunfight right in the city?"

"Don't worry, no innocent people will be hurt. Please trust the professionals in this kind of thing." Jack said as he unbuckled his seat belt, stepped on the seat and leaned half of his body out of the window.
