Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 155 Assassination
This bizarre scene took place in broad daylight.

"Are you kidding me? That was a shadow. How could she tell you that Ethan was still alive?"

Milo strained to keep Joey from collapsing to the ground as he trembled violently.

"Sign language, I can read sign language."

Joey stared wide-eyed at the figure on the door, his whole body convulsing.

He was panting heavily:
"Look...look, she's talking to me...she's telling me..."

His eyes gradually shifted from initial shock and panic to blankness.

He seemed to be deciphering the complex movements of the shadow's hands, muttering to himself:

"Run? Why run?"

"Danger?"

Joey's bloodshot eyes stared at the figure on the door, his expression full of doubt:

"No...why should I run?"

"Explain yourself! What is she saying to you?!" Milo shook the confused person in front of him forcefully.

But at this moment.

A gunshot rang out in the distance!
Then came a piercing whistling sound!
Whoosh! !

Finally, Joey's pale face, which was being controlled by Milo, exploded in front of him with a bang!

……

"what!!!!"

The street was instantly filled with terrified screams from passersby.

Those who got too close were even splattered in the face by the spurting thick blood and bits of flesh.

"Scatter! Everyone scatter!"

Milo dragged Joey back quickly to the door, their backs pressed against it.

The security guard at the law enforcement station immediately rang the alarm and shouted orders for everyone at the scene to move aside.

...

"damn it."

Milo glanced at Joey's body, which lay slumped at his feet, and quickly drew his revolver.

The bullet entered Joey's head from the left side, shattering his brain and leaving a bloody mark on his face.

At that moment, the gate was opened by the law enforcement officers inside, and the figures on it disappeared.

Such a commotion naturally alerted the people inside the law enforcement office, with old Theon being the first to rush out.

He rushed out the door with a pistol in hand, ordered everyone to guard the scene, and then shouted at Milo:
"direction!"

"High-rise buildings in the three o'clock direction, high-precision rifles."

Milo glanced at the bullet's final impact point, which was a few meters away on the road.

It is obvious that this downward angle of fire can only be achieved from a high vantage point.

"Instruct the city guards to send all civilians on the nearby parish roads home. The rest of you, come with me."

After confirming the approximate location of the track, Theon immediately issued the order.

Everyone mounted their horses and gave chase.

Joey's body was dragged to the side of the gate to clear the way, and a large number of law enforcement officers rode out on horseback to catch up with old Theon.

Milo was among them.

……

The officers reacted quickly enough.

Under old Theon's command, the horsemen split into three groups: one group pursued the enemy along the main road, while the other two groups circled around to the left and right to encircle them.

The remaining law enforcement officers were divided into groups and dispersed into all the alleys of the city.

Without even needing the on-site commander to say anything, a fan-shaped search area was laid out in an orderly manner, covering all the buildings along the ballistic trajectory.

The assassin was shooting from a high point on the building. Even if he moved quickly, it would still take some time to disguise himself and get downstairs.

If the law enforcement officers are fast enough, they can definitely block all his escape routes.

He had only two choices: sneak into an ordinary person's home and hide, or grit his teeth and flee out of the city.

...Milo was at the very front of the search party.

There's something on his mind that he can't figure out.

Throughout the entire case, there was no aspect that involved firearms.

But now the assassin has appeared.

Moreover, he was a professional assassin; at the very least, his marksmanship was top-notch.

The Gus Association is just a student group, how could they have gotten involved with such a person?

Furthermore, if anyone wanted Joey dead, they wouldn't have waited until today. In the nearly one and a half years since his disappearance from the Great Library, there have been countless ways to make that kid disappear completely.

But no, they chose to let Joey die in front of the law enforcement office.

Is it a provocation?
No, it should be called silencing them.

After his conversation with Milo yesterday, Joey must have made some important discovery, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to the law enforcement office in such a hurry, shouting and yelling.

But he only had time to say that Ethan was still alive.

Wasn't Ethan also one of the missing persons in the Great Library incident?

Why did the shadow know that Ethan wasn't dead?

Joey said the shadow was Maggie? The Maggie who went missing?
Maggie was present at the Great Library that night; she knew what happened.
……

too messy.

Milo couldn't figure it out in a short time.

Especially now that they are in the midst of a manhunt, he can only temporarily suppress these mysteries and cooperate with his colleagues in the pursuit.

...

As you exit the law enforcement office, to your right is a main road sloping westward, lined with numerous high-rise buildings on both sides.

The most advanced long-range precision rifles of this era have a range of no more than 1000 meters, meaning the killer is within a kilometer.

At high speed, this 1000-meter distance can be covered in almost no time.

Unexpectedly, a large number of horse-drawn carts were unloading goods on the road ahead, and a large number of boxes blocking the road blocked the law enforcement officers' way.

"It just happened to be at this time."

Old Theon cursed loudly.

This position is precisely at the range limit of a high-precision rifle.

"Clear the road for me!"

The more inexplicable coincidences occur, the more it confirms that the killer fled in this direction, and we must keep a close watch on him.

"Notify the West City Law Enforcement Bureau to come out and intercept them! We absolutely cannot let the assassins leave the city!"

Theon gave the order.

At the same time, a group of black horses burst out from the corner at the end of the main road and galloped off towards the city's exit.

"I saw him."

Just as Milo raised his gun, the man's figure disappeared into the blind spot.

"grass."

Despite everyone's best efforts, it still took nearly three minutes to move those heavy boxes.

Everyone remounted and charged in the direction the assassins had fled.

……

...

An assassination attempt occurred in front of the law enforcement office.

Such an event naturally alarmed the entire city of Nanwei.

The law enforcement headquarters received the news immediately and mobilized personnel from law enforcement offices throughout the city via telephone to assist in the investigation.

In the early morning, more and more people in black trench coats appeared on the streets of Nanwei City.

Such a scene hadn't appeared for a while, and even when it did, it only happened at night, but this time it was during the day...

Milo and Theon's squad relentlessly pursued the assassin, but due to the brief delay on the street, they were unable to intercept him within the city limits and chased him all the way to the outskirts.
