Chapter 277 Agent (Subscribe for updates)
"Boss..."
After the bar closed, Zhong Shenxiu continued to live a boring daily life of counting money every day.
At this time, Scarface came over and said, "I have found out clearly that there are nine prohibition agents in this city..."
Zhong Shenxiu whistled: "Just nine people have to monitor hundreds of thousands of citizens and hundreds of bars. Is the Federation kidding?"
"There is no way. The federation does not trust the police departments in each state and insists on sending its own personnel...but the gaps in each city are too big..."
Scarface shrugged and replied: "But the Prohibition Agents are only responsible for looking for clues and evidence. When a stronghold is discovered, they have the right to ask the city's police department to dispatch assistance..."
"Okay, let's talk about their situation."
Zhong Shenxiu lay on the armchair, put his legs directly on the desk, took a piece of office paper and started folding the plane.
"Boss, you are right. Although those anti-alcohol agents occasionally destroyed some underground bars and arrested bootleggers, most of them were guys with no background... Judging from their action patterns, I roughly found out Whose money did they collect?"
Scarface handed over a note.
"Two from Notting Hill, one from Gambi, one from Lake, and the remaining four people will accept any money... What happened to James in the end?"
Zhong Shenxiu glanced at it and asked casually.
"This agent named James is an upright man and is the one who does not receive any money. I have always felt puzzled as to why he can continue to stay in this position..."
Scarface rubbed his head.
"After all, the Federation is not corrupt to the extreme yet. Someone has to do something... Even his greedy boss knows that there should be a seed of justice left in the department..."
Zhong Shenxiu threw the plane out: "So, he is the one who is most likely to have an impact on our career?"
"As much as I don't want to admit it, it's just like that." Scarface nodded: "Do you want to kill him?"
"Killing a federal prohibition agent, do you want the entire federation to go crazy and send more prohibition agents?"
Zhong Shenxiu sneered.
"But he went to work alone, didn't smoke, didn't drink, had no hobbies..."
Scarface whispered, this means that it is very difficult to bribe, otherwise the three major gangs would not have collapsed.
"Find his address and I'll go visit him with you. I have special skills in persuading people."
Zhong Shenxiu said solemnly.
…
Hogg Apartments.
The rent here is low, although it is still higher than in the slums, but it also wins in terms of safety.
Moreover, each room has its own bathroom, which is very suitable for single workers.
It's nighttime.
A tired figure, dragging heavy footsteps, slowly moved to room 606. He was holding a paper bag in his hand. The sandwiches and brown bread inside were his dinner and breakfast.
James held the bread in one hand, took out the key in his trouser pocket with the other hand, and opened the door to the rental house.
Just when he was about to turn on the gas lamp, he suddenly found a dark shadow in the room!
The other person seemed to be sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, waiting for his arrival.
"who?"
In a panic, James dropped the paper bag, letting the bread and milk inside spill on the floor, and then touched the gun bag with his right hand.
The next moment, a cold gun barrel was pressed against his head, making James seem to turn into a sculpture.
There is not one person lurking in the darkness, but two!
Scarface closed the door and turned on the gas light.
In the dim yellow light, James saw a young man with a scar face who was holding him hostage, and another younger man sitting on the chair in the middle.
“Levi Mojito!”
James was startled and called out a name.
"It seems...you have already started investigating me?"
Zhong Shenxiu sighed: "You are indeed a harm to my career..."
"Illegal, do you know how many laws you have broken now? Illegal intrusion, hijacking, illegal gun possession..."
A sneer appeared on James' face: "These charges are enough to send you to a federal prison for 30 years!"
"Look...we're always full of disagreements, why can't we reach consensus?"
Zhong Shenxiu stood up, spread his hands and said.
"You want to bribe me? Impossible!"
A determined expression appeared on James' angular face.
If he could collect black money, he would have collected it long ago.
"just kill me……"
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you know what will happen next? The Federation will send real mad dogs and capable people to thoroughly investigate this matter. Your bootlegging business and everything about you will be exposed to the light. Down!"
"Yeah, so I won't kill anyone."
Zhong Shenxiu chuckled and agreed, seeing a hint of relaxation in James' eyes.
No matter how righteous, people still have the instinct to survive.
"Now...I'm here to try to convince you."
Zhong Shenxiu stepped forward, took out a revolver and a dagger, and made two gestures left and right.
James felt the hairs on his back stand on end, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted: "Everything is for the Federation. I swear to abide by the law..."
"What is he carrying?"
Zhong Shenxiu asked casually.
"It seems to be a declaration of entry..." Scarface wasn't quite sure either.
"Forget it, using swords and guns makes too much noise, and the injuries left behind will not heal for a long time..."
Zhong Shenxiu gestured for a while, and finally took out a test tube, asked Scarface to pry open James' mouth, and pour the black reagent inside.
"You...what did you give me to drink?"
James fell to the ground, covering his throat and coughing repeatedly.
"It's just a little potion, it can make your soul leave the body...probably."
Zhong Shenxiu didn't have much confidence in what Xinshou had done.
His plan, of course, is to use the special ability of his body to imitate the scene when he conquered Scarface and contact the other person's soul.
But how to let the soul leave the body is also a problem.
You can't shoot him half to death first, then cut him and bleed him to see the effect, right?
It's very difficult to grasp the propriety in this, and if you don't do it right, you'll be killed directly.
James retched twice, and suddenly his expression became confused.
He fell to the ground, convulsing, foaming at the mouth, and his lungs making a sound like bellows.
"Boss, he seems to be dying?"
Scarface warned aloud.
"I saw it... As expected, potions made casually can easily cause problems."
Zhong Shenxiu touched his chin.
He actually didn't have much confidence as to whether the [Herder] ability would work.
Anyway, James is not his subordinate yet, so he is just a dead horse.
He tried to relax his mind and mobilize the inspiration of the body itself.
The next moment, Scarface suddenly saw Levi's eyes turn black. He took a step forward and gently grabbed a handful of air, as if he had caught something invisible in his palm.
On the ground, James finally stopped twitching and let out a long breath.
