Chapter 96: Thief collar layout
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Adele seemed to be in a much better mood after John informed her about his husband Mason's condition.
Just as Zuo En's investigation ended today, she returned to her hut.
Most of Inspector Mason's property in Blackwater Town was confiscated by the police, but there are still many assets in other cities.
So Mrs Adele's quality of life has not declined.
Kerry was recovering from an injury. Arnold and Neil were temporarily on vacation because they were involved in the Mason incident.
Recently, the police station is indeed very short of manpower. Last time, more than a dozen elites were killed or injured. This time, four more people were suspended for observation. Although six people from John joined, the manpower was still a quarter less than before.
John and Kane had guessed that they might be going to encircle the thieves' territory recently. So the two also privately told Lambert and others to pay attention.
John even asked for the size of five people in the morning after talking to Kane and ran to order six sets of steel plate armor. In order to protect his few subordinates, John was heartbroken.
In fact, there were only two steel plates with a thickness of about five millimeters, but they were made closer to the body, similar to modern protective clothing that can only protect the torso.
You need help to put on, but you don't need to take it off.
Because it is simple, it does not affect the action. These two quick play can ensure that their group will not be shot in the chest and abdomen to death.
Kane laughed for a while when John pulled the five sets of plate armor back to the manor.
"Do you really want to be a knight? All this plate armor is made." Kane ruthlessly laughed at John's things, which were wrapped in a piece of cotton cloth, similar to inner armor, but much thicker than the inner armor. A set weighs about ten pounds. John has tested that with the firepower of this era, as long as it is not repeatedly hit by a bolt-on rifle, this level of plate armor can protect these guys.
"I know it's hard for you to wear this, but I don't want one or two of you to die forever in the siege in a few days." John looked at the embarrassed people and said seriously.
"You can't see if you put a coat over it, really. One for each person."
Lambert stepped forward, picked it up, took a serious look, then picked up his piece and returned to his room.
Then Billy, Dorom, Nick.
Although they have taken all of them, they are still talking about whether to wear them or not.
"Hey, it's really interesting." Kane was still laughing.
"Although you don't need to go, I think you should take it back to your room or leave it alone." John automatically ignored Kane's mockery.
"Come on, you help me put it on." Kane put away his playful expression, and said happily.
John obediently helped him put it on.
It looks good when you wear it, but the upper body of the person is a little stronger.
"It's okay, it's not so special to wear a coat over it." Kane tried to jump a few times after putting it on.
"The weight is okay, not bad, not bad."
Then Kane got rid of it and took it back to his house.
It's past six o'clock, and dinner is almost ready.
But just as they were preparing to eat, an employee reminded John that someone was coming.
John put on his coat and walked out, still an acquaintance.
Derek.
He rode at the gate of the manor.
"Inspector Derek, is there something wrong?"
"The director asked me to come to you, are you busy now?" Derek's tone was still flat and indifferent.
"Of course not. You wait." After speaking, John went to the room.
"You eat first, I'll go out." After giving the order, John rode his horse and followed Derek out of the manor.
Derek, who seemed to talk well along the way, actually took the initiative to chat with John.
"Sheriff John, I've been investigating for the past two days. The Kolov you mentioned."
"What was the result?" John was also curious.
"There is indeed such a guy nearby, but he left Blackwater Town when he was young. I'm not sure if it is him."
"so?"
"He has a problem." Derek said with certainty.
"So his news is not credible?" John asked sideways.
"He has a problem doesn't mean his news is not credible." Derek refuted John's guess.
"So Greer is really in thieves territory?" John's tone was not surprised.
"I checked these days and it was indeed him."
"So the director called us this time to plan how to arrest him?"
"You'll know when you go." Derek didn't speak.
The two came to a manor around Heishui Town. The Heishui Town in the bureau is less than ten minutes away, and the location is very good.
John dismounted and handed the reins to the servants, then followed Derek to the main hall on the second floor.
Leiter was sitting in the main seat looking at a map, with Zuo En on his left. He was bored playing his double-action revolver, and on the right was Karls, who had a similar temperament to Derek.
This time Baylor was there.
"John, Derek, you guys are here." Belle greeted the two of them when he saw John.
The others also glanced at John and said nothing.
"Sit down." Leiter said to the two of them.
"Everyone is here. This time, I just want to tell you. Greer's position has been found."
"Derrick went to confirm that he was indeed on the island in Quaker Bay."
"So Chief, what should we do this time?" John asked directly after hearing this.
"This small island has always been occupied by a group of Mexicans called the Howling Wolf Gang, who are basically stowaways. In recent years, the number has increased. According to recent news, their number has approached 150. "
A few people didn't respond. This number is similar to what everyone knows.
"But not all of them are there. They are basically scattered all over New Austin. The maximum number of people above is seventy." Leiter told about the number of enemies this time~www.NovelMTL.com~We want To encircle them? ' John said uncertainly.
Several people looked up at John, because John's tone was uncertain.
"Sheriff John, are you afraid?" Zuo En asked from the left.
"No, it's just that we are indeed smaller in number than the other party. They have been entrenched here for many years, so we don't know how the island's defense is. Is it too risky to just pass by." John expressed his opinion.
"Well, that's true." Leiter interjected and then looked at Baylor.
Baylor coughed a few times, then said sternly.
"A few years ago, the director asked me to pay attention to this small island with an increasing number of stowaways, so I paid for a few people there. I won't touch them when necessary."
"Then why hasn't Greer been reported for more than a month?" John said strangely.
"When I didn't call them, they wouldn't take the initiative to respond. And I usually just ask how many people there are, how the layout is, and if I don't ask them, they won't say anything, and every question is quite expensive. ' Baylor explained why.
"Is it believable?" John asked worriedly.
"Believable, one of the guys made a family in Blackwater Town, and his wife and three children are under my control. He also just wanted to quit the gang, and I promised him to give him a Blackwater Township after this incident. Legal status," Baylor said.
"So." Baylor took out a map from his chest and spread it on the table.
Above is the layout of the thieves' territory.
Although the painting is slightly rough, it is very detailed. The role of each building and the hidden snipers are marked on it.
