The real life of an American police officer: Winning over others with virtue

Chapter 50 Smart Man

After receiving the instructions, the younger brother took another look at Eric sitting in the car, and ran towards the row of auto repair shops inside.

Zachary shook his head and took several steps back with the younger brothers guarding the gate behind him, moving away from the police car as if they were away from a wild beast.

"Do you really know their boss?"

Annie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, finally seized the opportunity and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Eric glanced back at her, seeing the curious look in the rookie's eyes.

"Have you forgotten what I told you before?"

Annie whispered, "You said you once gave their boss a good kick in the ass?"

As she spoke, she suddenly felt a little funny and her eyebrows raised. Because of this, she relaxed a little.

These fierce-looking Latinos outside seemed to be very obedient in front of Eric. They only dared to curse and swear in a low voice, and they didn't even dare to look at Eric when they cursed and swear.

From this, she knew that this man exuded a very mysterious aura and a very awesome temperament, which made people subconsciously ignore the fact that he was just a second-level patrolman.

"Rookie, do you think I'm kidding?" Eric saw Annie's expression and knew that she was starting to relax, so he shrugged.

"I did kick their boss's ass. It was two years ago when I was a student like you. He was stealing a car and was caught by me and my instructor at the time."

"Then he ran away and you chased after him?" Annie raised the corners of her mouth slightly and whispered.

"Well, unfortunately he wasn't fast enough and I kicked him hard from behind." Eric said calmly.

"It was a hard fall."

As he said this, while waiting, Eric glanced at Zachary and the other guys.

"Do you know why the West Coast Wolf Clan's territory borders Pere Park?"

Annie shook her head, a curious expression on her face, and looked at Eric.

"Because they only sell dupin to drug addicts in certain areas and won't cross the line to deceive or harm normal people.
Their main source of income comes from relatively normal illegal activities such as street theft, smuggling, selling, repairing and modifying private and used cars.

Eric stated one of the most important characteristics of the West Coast Wolf Pack gang:

"The important thing is that they also hold some underground car races, which attracts a lot of rich guys who are crazy about seeking excitement.
As long as you can scrape off a penny from these rich prodigals, you can make a fortune. This is much safer than drug trafficking and will not be feared by the authorities.

Sometimes they even collaborate with TV stations.”

"TV station?" Annie was confused. She could understand racing because in her opinion, racing would most likely involve some gambling. After all, she had seen too many second-generation gangs. But how could a street gang cooperate with a TV station?

She couldn't understand it.

"What is the most important thing for a TV station?" Eric asked.

Annie thought for a moment: "To collect ratings?"

Eric nodded and said, "Many of these guys are from the bosozoku group. Perhaps it's because of their broken families that they seek excitement from car chases."

Having said this, Eric paused for a moment, and under Annie's curious gaze, he said calmly:

"They would contact some small TV stations in advance and have them broadcast the event live. Then they would steal cars in front of patrol officers and use the stolen cars to play a very exciting real-life Grand Theft Auto game. Once the game started, they would receive money from the TV stations that got the tip and broadcast the event live. This way, they could make money and get the excitement. If they could escape, they could also get the car, killing three birds with one stone."

Annie blinked and instantly figured out all the steps. Is it possible to play like this?
"Very clever, huh?" Eric said.

Annie nodded subconsciously.

"If they weren't smart, they wouldn't be able to gain a firm foothold so quickly. They would have been devoured by the tigers and wolves around them long ago." Eric said calmly, with one hand on the edge of the car window, looking at the auto repair shop where there was some movement.

The leader of this group of Latinos is indeed smart. He can earn some clean and safe pocket money just by posting these videos on the video platform.

It can also attract more young Latin Americans to join, forming a rolling trend.

Because all the people of the West Coast Wolf Tribe are Latino, and in America, Latinos have gradually become the largest minority group in the free country, with about 60 million people.

After a while, there was a little commotion over there.

Not long after, a group of people walked out of a large auto repair shop in the corner. They were all wearing the uniforms of auto repair shops. There were at least a dozen of them, all of them were Latino, with no other races.

In the middle of this group of people was a rather showy man, in his thirties. Not only was he wearing a dirty, oily auto repair shop uniform, but he was also smoking a cigar and wearing sunglasses. He exuded a very arrogant air as he walked.

If a normal person imitated his uncaring walking posture and walked on the street, he would probably look very strange, and would most likely be beaten up by passers-by who couldn't stand it.

But in front of Geke, the leader of the West Coast Wolf Clan, this arrogant and showy action seemed to be integrated with him, and the arrogance was very natural.

"Hey! My brother!!!!" Gerke walked in the middle of the crowd. Before he even stepped out of the store, he raised his hands to the expressionless Eric in the police car, patted them in a rather showy manner, and waved.

“Come on~!”

This appearance made Annie look at Eric, and then at the rather showy Geck in front.

"Wait for me here." Eric said calmly, and before Annie could react, he opened the door and got out of the car.

At the same time, turn off the body camera. Although it has been recording, it will be fine as long as the conversation is not leaked.

It's okay even if Daves sees the video.

Because the entire West Canyon Police Department knew that he had something fishy going on with the West Coast Wolf Clan.

In fact, this is indeed the case. It was actually thanks to him that the West Coast Wolf Tribe was able to eat up three entire blocks.

I have to say, it's quite a coincidence of fate.

"This guy..." Eric looked at Gerke who seemed to welcome him, curled his lips, and walked in.

Zachary, who had been guarding outside, looked at Annie sitting in the police car with a suspicious look, then looked at Eric who walked in and followed behind with a few of his brothers, their heads shaking.

At this moment, in the eyes of the somewhat nervous Annie, Eric seemed to be surrounded by the entire West Coast Wolf Clan. His police uniform and his 188cm tall height made him extremely conspicuous in the middle.

She was inexplicably nervous. She grabbed the walkie-talkie and stared through the car window. If anything happened, she would call for support.

From Eric and Will's earlier conversation, she knew that some patrol officers were waiting nearby.
