Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 181 40. Confirming the trace
"NCPD!"

Johnson slammed the door, got out of the car with his Lexington, and pointed his gun with both hands at a Tiger Claw gang member who was walking ferociously in the alley with his gun drawn: "Put down your gun."

"Asshole, it's the NCPD guys who are meddling in other people's business."

A member of the Tiger Claw Gang, who was searching the street with his companions for the trace of the mercenary who provoked them, saw Johnson's gun pointed at him. He looked unhappy, but lowered his gun obediently.

Face to face with the NCPD, if things go wrong, they might really dare to open fire. If he is then held responsible for a gunfight with the NCPD openly on the street, he will probably be skinned alive by the gang boss.

"Officer, I'm just taking a walk. Is everything alright?"

"I don't know if you're in trouble, but you're walking around with a gun with the safety off. This is a violation of Article 17, Section 8 of the Night City Code. I'm arresting you now."

"Bullshit clause. There are so many people walking around with guns with the safety off. Why don't you arrest them? Are you looking for trouble?"

The Tiger Claw member realized that Johnson, the NCPD, was here to cause trouble, and he raised his gun slightly:
"I advise you to be smart, officer. If this place gets chaotic, you won't get any good results. Why don't we both compromise? I'll pay your fine, and I'll treat you to a meal. How about you just pretend you never saw me and leave obediently? We are doing business now."

Apparently, the Tiger Claw gang member thought Johnson was an NCPD officer who was looking for trouble during the chaos and wanted to collect a bribe.

"I don't know if I'm smart or not, but you've violated the rules for trying to bribe a police officer. My device has recorded it. Come with me."

"Are you sick?"

You don't even want the bribe, you think it's too little?
"How about I give you 200 Euros? That's enough money for you to have some fun."

"Drop your gun and put your hands up."

"three hundred?"

"I won't repeat myself again."

"An idiot who doesn't understand what people are saying!"

This Tiger Claw gang member's patience has reached its limit. He was looking for someone, but the NCPD picked trouble with him on the street. He was willing to give bribes, but they still kept harassing him. Do they really think he has a good temper?
He is wearing subcutaneous armor. Do you really think he is afraid of Lexington?

Originally, it seemed that he was giving you some face because of his identity as a police officer, and he also regarded himself as an important person.

The Tiger Claw Gang member was about to raise the Jade-Firefly pistol in his hand when someone patted him on the shoulder.

? !
When, when was there someone standing behind me! ?

When this Tiger Claw Gang member turned around instinctively in shock, he was greeted by a clenched fist.

"thump."

"Mr. Johnson, another arrest."

Carl intentionally held back his strength and did not blow up the Tiger Claw Gang member's head with one punch, but just knocked him unconscious.

“That’s three already.”

Carl said, grabbing the Tiger Claw gang member from the ground, connecting his brain-computer interface with a single molecule wire, and walked to the law enforcer at the entrance of the alley, opened the trunk, and threw him in. Data flow.

"Andy seems to have run to this area. He received an order from above to search this area."

"The personnel situation is getting closer and closer."

Johnson put away his gun and walked over, looking at the trunk that was stuffed to the brim: "Andy's area is getting smaller and smaller."

"Let me act alone from now on, Mr. Johnson."

Carl retracted the single-molecule line:
"So far, we have only targeted the Tiger Claw Gang alone, and have not let the upper echelons of the Tiger Claw Gang know that I am involved in this matter. However, now we have almost reached the limit of what an executor can do. If your police car continues to linger, the Tiger Claw Gang will find out."

"Then I'll leave it to you. If you need any guidance, just let me know."

Johnson nodded, walked over and slammed the trunk that was packed with people. "My people have also begun patrolling nearby to prevent chaos. Just say the word and I will be there with my men immediately."

"Need not."

Karl took out the night watch and checked it. After confirming that there was no problem, he smiled and said, "I am a professional."

After saying this, Carl walked out of the street and contacted the free team members.

Carl: T-BUG, have you read what I just sent you? Please do me a favor and search for the people in the area in detail. I will split the euros earned from this trip with you.

T-BUG: This is a troublesome job that you take on alone, and it's only worth 10,000 Euros. I don't even care about this little money. I have roughly locked on the person, who is in an underground parking lot. I've sent you the address.

Carl: It's fast, you are worthy of being T-BUG.

T-BUG: Stop flattering me. If you really want to thank me, send the ball to me and I will modify it and use it as my connection hub. This way, next time you go to the Badlands, as long as the ball is in the car, I can help you more.

Carl: OK, I'll send it to you later. Speaking of which, we haven't had an offline gathering since you joined the team. How about we find a time to have a meal together in person and give you the dog?
T-BUG: Okay, then you can go back and make an appointment with those two guys who can't even come up with a good name. I still need to deal with some details of the ball program here. I'm hanging up now.

Carl: Take your time.

After the communication ended, Carl looked at the address of the underground parking lot sent by T-BUG and found that it was unexpectedly close, probably only about four or five hundred meters away.

At this distance, Carl could hear any gunshot clearly, but he didn't hear any gunshot.
The Tiger Claw Gang has not yet found Andy in this narrowed area.

"Good. If we handle it this way, we don't need to set up an extra person as an opponent."

Holding the all-nighter, Carl soon arrived at the underground parking lot. The parking lot was attached to a club that was being renovated. Because the club above was being renovated, there were not many people and vehicles parked underground. After Carl connected to the camera at the entrance of the parking lot and took over the cameras of the entire underground parking lot according to the intrusion program transmitted by the camera, he saw a hidden person behind a Columbus that was probably driven by a worker.

Columbus, whose full name is Villefort Columbus V340-F freight, is a cheap van that is very suitable for transportation. Due to its size, it is difficult for Carl to see the man clearly in the dim light of the underground parking lot. He wondered if it was Andy, but he would know after going down to take a look.

After Carl blocked the scanning confirmation program at the entrance and exit of the parking lot, he walked step by step from the vehicle entrance to the underground parking lot. When his figure appeared on the downhill slope that could be seen in the parking lot, Carl noticed that the body hiding behind Columbus in the camera moved.
