The Walking Dead TWD
Chapter 78: Understanding the Situation
"Drip~"
As the last sound rang out, Diana and Lambert rushed to tell each other about their past sufferings. Hannah and Paul kept writing, recording what they said truthfully.
Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Zhou Nan also walked to the side to observe. When Rick saw Zhou Nan coming, he also got out of the car and came to Zhou Nan's side.
Watching Hannah busy at work, Rick said to Zhou Nan, "Hannah is really capable. Even the veteran detectives who came to the King County Police Department to help solve cases before might not be as good as Hannah."
There was some exaggeration in Rick's words, because he had never seen how those detectives solved the case, but Hannah's series of actions really shocked Rick.
"Hannah is indeed very capable. She is a top graduate from Stanford University."
"In the future, I will give the job of recruiting to Hannah. Maybe she will be a very good choice."
Zhou Nan also looked at Hannah with new eyes today, and he was as shocked as Rick.
Rick nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's best to let her do this kind of thing."
Soon, under the full supervision of the team members, the record of Paul and Hannah was completed, and this record recorded all the crimes of Lambert and Diana. It was now in Zhou Nan's hands.
Zhou Nan first looked through the record of Diana's accusation against Lambert, which recorded his actions.
The first is that it was Lambert who ordered Leon to shoot Rick, and Diana clearly heard Lambert's order.
This is because Leon knew that Rick had a bad attitude towards him, and Leon was very dissatisfied with this. Lambert also knew that Leon held a grudge against Rick, so Lambert took advantage of Leon's hatred and instructed him to shoot Rick.
Lambert and Rick were both deputy sheriffs. Lambert had spoken ill of Rick in private more than once. Perhaps the seeds of hatred were planted at that time.
Second, the police officers who disappeared from the King County Police Department did not die while assisting the military. They were all killed by Lambert!
After the disaster, Diana accidentally discovered that Lambert was doing business with a Chinese from Longguo.
She had seen that Chinese man before. He ran a Chinese restaurant on Central Avenue. He was a very kind person. Diana had also eaten there, which was why she had such a deep impression of him.
This time of eavesdropping made her realize that this Chinese man from Longguo was actually engaged in arms trafficking, and judging by their familiar actions, it was obvious that they had known each other for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhou Nan suddenly remembered his MK12, which was obviously not on sale, but appeared in Lambert's hands. This was not common sense. There was also the under-slung grenade launcher, which was only available in the military, and this was not something Lambert could get.
But if Lambert knew a friend who was in the arms business, then everything would fit right.
The Chinese man told Lambert that after the disaster, all the gangs in the vicinity would need a large number of weapons to resist the zombies, and the Nighthawks had the most orders. Because the Nighthawks had no arms smuggling business, they could only trade with him.
Then, Diana heard the price quoted by the Chinese man. Each weapon was purchased at a price a hundred times higher than the average market price, which shocked Diana!
The useless money in the end times deeply touched Lambert's heart. Since the sheriff and other superiors were missing, Lambert took the initiative to make decisions.
Lambert used the excuse of supporting the military and then sent a large number of police officers carrying a large number of weapons to the vicinity of the Nighthawks' territory.
The Nighthawks' ambush there had been prepared long ago. All the police officers who were unaware of the situation died at the hands of the Nighthawks, and all their weapons fell into the hands of the Nighthawks!
The Nighthawks, having obtained weapons, took advantage of the emptiness within the King County Police Department and attacked the police station yesterday afternoon. They then inexplicably stopped the attack in the evening and fled, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
If nothing unexpected happens, the members of the Nighthawk Club will come back today!
This is also the reason why Lambert was eager to recruit Rick and Zhou Nan into the team. It turned out that he wanted to use them as scapegoats to resist the Nighthawk Society.
Diana also talked about how miserable she was and how she had to submit to Lambert's tyranny every day...
Zhou Nan lost interest after taking a few glances. He called Diana over and asked her face to face what the Chinese man from Longguo looked like.
Diana didn't hesitate. "That Dragon guy wears a pair of black glasses and always looks very friendly. His name seems to be Samuel."
Zhou Nan nodded thoughtfully, because when he first arrived here, he went to work in a Chinese restaurant. The owner there was also a Chinese, also named Samuel!
"Such a coincidence is impossible. Could it really be you, Boss Li?" Zhou Nan wondered in his heart.
Zhou Nan had a very good impression of him. He paid him a salary and helped him find a place to live. Who knew that he was actually an arms dealer behind his back, dealing with gangs all day long.
Zhou Nan also didn't want to have any contact with such a dangerous person. No one doing this kind of business is a good person. If he could avoid provoking Zhou Nan, he would never do so.
Zhou Nan then asked Diana, "How much do you know about the Nighthawks? How did you know they were going to attack the police station today?"
Diana also told Zhou Nan what she knew: "They are very large, with a convoy, about 70 people, all armed. However, they also lost a lot of people when they attacked us, and now there are about 50 people!"
"There were originally more than 20 people left in our police station, but they beat us to this point. There are only four of us left: me, Don, Leon, and Lambert."
Zhou Nan also looked at Diana with suspicion: "You are lying, this is obviously wrong. Later in the fight, they had more than 50 people, and you only had four people. They are much stronger than you!"
"Why did they choose to let you go in the end? If I were the Nighthawk Society, I would directly choose to kill all of you, leaving no one alive, and then take away all your weapons!"
Diana was almost crying. "I'm telling the truth. Our place is easier to defend. As long as they cross the road, they'll be left without cover."
"It was thanks to this that we were able to fight them for two hours. If we didn't have this condition, I'm afraid they would have taken down the police station long ago!"
"Also, before they left, a man with a strange gait shouted that if they didn't have to go to a hospital tonight to cause trouble, they would have beaten us down. I think this is the fundamental reason why they let us go!"
Zhou Nan grasped the key point: "There's a motorcade, and they're looking for trouble with a hospital?"
Doesn't that mean the group of people who attacked Harrison Memorial Hospital last night were the Nighthawks that Diana mentioned?
Diana hesitated for a moment before saying to Zhou Nan, "I don't know who's faster, Lambert or me, but if he's faster, I'm willing to trade my life for a piece of information that's very important to you!"
"Let me first see what Lambert is accusing you of."
Zhou Nan picked up another piece of paper and found out that all the bad things Diana had done were power-for-sex transactions, becoming a police officer by relying on her body, and having fun with some old men for money.
Zhou Nan handed the "accusation" to Diana and asked her to read it herself. Diana breathed a sigh of relief after reading it and said she didn't care.
"Isn't this normal behavior? I'm using my own advantages to gain benefits. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"And I didn't hurt anyone from beginning to end. When we had a gunfight, I ran away immediately. I don't think I did anything wrong, at least not from your perspective."
"It was Lambert who instigated Leon to attack your companion Rick, and he also killed many people. I think his crime is the greatest!"
Hannah, who was next to Zhou Nan, listened to Diana's entire narration. She didn't hear any obvious logical loopholes, so she nodded to Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan pondered for a moment, then said, "So, you're indeed not at fault, but the exchange you're proposing is no longer equivalent. I have no reason to take your life, so there's no point in talking about a deal."
"But I still hope that you can tell me this secret. I can provide you with some food or other things in exchange!"
The other members of the team also nodded in agreement. In the end times, what could be more fortunate than following a principled leader?
Diana said cheerfully, "If I'm not mistaken, they left spies around the police station when they left. If you come here and steal the weapons, they won't let you go!"
"If I were you, I would leave here immediately. You have stayed in this place for far too long!"
Zhou Nan's expression changed drastically after hearing this, and the people around him also realized that their position might have been exposed.
Thinking of this, everyone started packing up and preparing to leave this dangerous place.
Zhou Nan took out two sections of air-dried sausage and handed them to Diana: "This is the reward I promised you. You should leave here soon."
Diana nodded, happily accepted the food Zhou Nan gave her, and then quickly left with the food.
Zhou Nan looked at Lambert again. He understood that Lambert should know the specific situation of Boss Li, so he decided to spare his life and kill him after figuring out the situation.
When Lambert saw that Diana was able to leave safely, he realized that the situation was not good. He was about to speak when Zhou Nan took him to the fire truck.
"He didn't kill me!"
A huge sense of relief surged in Lambert's heart, and then his eyes became gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Shortly after Zhou Nan left here, members of the Nighthawk Club drove here. They had been following Zhou Nan and his group!
One of the Nighthawk members in the car turned on the intercom and reported the situation to someone inside.
"These guys should be the ones from the hospital. They're heading towards Interstate 85!"
Tonio's voice came from the intercom: "Roger that, we're setting up a pocket ambush immediately!"
