People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

Detective Lan could understand Ma Hong's anger and didn't dare to say anything more. "About three and a half hours ago, Trinity Church at the intersection of Broadway and Wall Street in New York suddenly collapsed."

"The FBI's New York branch sent a lot of people to investigate and found a huge space with a lot of man-made structures under Trinity Church. It is preliminarily speculated that the space is likely a treasure room."

"Last night, a group of people not only emptied the treasure room, but also planted a time bomb."

"Then, about four and a half hours ago, a gang shootout took place a few miles from New York Harbor... Witnesses said there were more than a dozen trucks at the scene, and one side in the shootout seemed to be trying to seize those trucks..."

"The FBI's New York branch sent people to the port to investigate not long ago, but there are no results yet... However, they did find out something based on the dead at the scene of the shootout."

"Most of the deceased were members of the local New York Skossey family. The remaining victims did not belong to any local New York family and were most likely from out of town..."

"Following this discovery, the FBI in New York checked the flight information."

"Some of the Abruzzi family's men flew from Miami to New York together yesterday at noon."

"They now suspect that the Abruzzi family stole the treasure beneath the Trinity Church. The Skruse family somehow got wind of it and tried to double-cross them, but failed and suffered heavy casualties."

Detective Lan spoke at length.

After listening.

Ma Hong, who was initially eager to be discharged from the hospital to continue the pursuit of Ding Ze and Abruchi, was taken aback for a moment, and then silently sat back down on the hospital bed.

Ma Hong was genuinely surprised to hear such news, and then fell silent in thought.

I thought about it for a little while.

Ma Hong spoke up, asking, "Did no one see Ding Ze and Abruchi? If it really was the Abruchi family who did this, there's no reason why Abruchi wouldn't show up."

Detective Lan shook her head. "Not at the moment."

Ma Hong rubbed his forehead. "You just said that Abruzzi's men arrived in New York on regular passenger planes?"

"Ah."

"Why? Doing this will leave a record, why would they do it?" Ma Hong was asking Detective Lan, and also himself.

After speaking, Ma Hong paused for two seconds, then thought of Ding Ze and suddenly realized a possibility.

“That arrogant guy did it on purpose,” Ma Hong laughed, muttering to himself, then turned to Agent Lan and said urgently, “I need information on all the passengers on that flight! No, I need information on everyone who flew from Miami to New York yesterday.”

As he spoke, Ma Hong stood up again with great enthusiasm, "Also, arrange a plane for me immediately, I want to go to New York."

Ma Hong left without hesitation.

Detective Lan had no choice but to hurry up and catch up, asking, "Who is this arrogant guy you're talking about? Ding Ze?"

Without turning his head, Ma Hong said, "Otherwise, it's definitely him! The Trinity Church incident was also definitely his doing... I had previously speculated that John Abruzzi was acting with Ding Ze, and now it seems I was right!"

“If it weren’t for Ding Ze’s leadership, John Abruzzi would never have known there was treasure beneath Trinity Church… Otherwise, he would have acted long ago and wouldn’t have been waiting! Moreover, at a time like this, John Abruzzi wouldn’t be so crazy as to go to New York to cause trouble!”

"The only person who could be this crazy is Ding Ze!"

Upon hearing this, Detective Lan instinctively felt even more admiration for Ma Hong, and at the same time, a hint of affection began to stir within her. "Alright, I'll have the station investigate immediately!"

Without saying anything more, the two left the hospital and went their separate ways.

-

Four hours have passed.

Ding Ze and his group were not far from the high seas.

The captain reported that it would take about two more hours to successfully enter international waters.

In other words, Ding Ze and the others will have to wait more than two hours before they are completely out of danger.

of course.

If we're really being serious, they're already safe.

Because there are people in New York Harbor who will report information to them every now and then.

Based on that information, most of New York's police force was focused on the collapse of Trinity Church. Although a small number of FBI agents had tracked down New York Harbor, they couldn't find anything in the short term. It would be impossible to find the ship in less than a day or two...

After all, Ron spent twenty million dollars in New York Harbor, which wasn't just about buying the right to free entry; it also included the related cleanup and cover-up work.

Moreover, the Port of New York is enormous, with hundreds of ships of all sizes entering and leaving the port every day.

Finding a ship that has no record of leaving port is no easy task.

and so.

Ding Ze slept soundly.

Time passes quickly.

Before I knew it, it was late at night.

On the dark high seas, Abruzzi stood by the railing on the deck, looking at the cargo ship flashing its lights not too far away. He picked up his satellite phone and dialed the captain's number.

soon.

confirmed.

The cargo ship not too far away is the one that was booked yesterday to come and pick us up.

Without hesitation, Abruzzi ordered his men to tell the captain to slow down and approach the cargo ship that had come to pick them up.

It took a little time.

Both cargo ships came to a complete stop.

Subsequently.

Under Abruzzi's orders, his men began to work, carefully transferring the treasures from the trucks to the receiving ship.

Doing this kind of thing at sea is very time-consuming.

Despite the large number of people, it still took them more than three hours to move all the treasures.

So, there's only one thing left to do.

Ding Ze exhaled a puff of smoke, nodded slightly to Abruzzi beside him, and remained silent.

Abruzzi smiled, decisively waved, and signaled his men to follow.

“You’re coming too,” Ding Ze said to Mickey.

Mickey didn't know what he was supposed to do, but he obediently did as he was told.

A few minutes later.

Mickey knows.

Ding Ze is trying to kill me to silence me!

'That's fucking brutal!'

Mickey thought to himself, but without hesitation, he took action.

It didn't take much effort.

All the crew members on the cargo ship that brought them there perished.

Abruzzi and his men didn't use guns, but knives, and their actions were swift and almost silent... their purpose was naturally to prevent the people on the rendezvous ship from knowing what had happened.

After eliminating all the staff, Abruzzi and his men then planted time bombs in various locations on the cargo ship.

Completed.

Everyone boarded the pick-up ship one after another and headed towards the Port of Miami.

Going back.

-

About an hour later.

Bang!

On the high seas, in darkness.

A cargo ship burst into flames amidst a violent explosion.

after that.

The cargo ship slowly sank into the sea.

Chapter 82 The Auction House, A Crucial Transaction [6k]

New York is not too far from Miami.

Around noon, Ding Ze and his group arrived at one of Miami's private ports.

The trucks that Abruzzi had arranged to transport the goods had been waiting at the port for a long time.

As soon as the cargo ship anchored and came to a stop, everyone busied themselves transferring the treasures back onto the trucks.

Everything went very smoothly.

Once all the treasures were loaded into the truck, the group set off back to the hotel that Abruzzi had rented.

As for the crew of the cargo ship that brought them to Miami...

Ding Ze didn't move.
