US police: outlaws

Chapter 58: A Conspiracy Is Brewing

In the meeting room of Patrol Team Three, Andrew Bailey spoke with a serious expression.

"Today is a big day for our Clermont North Police Department."

Upon hearing this, all 40-plus police officers present took it seriously. Li Yisen and Evelyn also took out their notebooks to write it down, but their superior's next sentence left them completely baffled.

"Actually, it's a good thing for the police department, but not necessarily for you. What's the task we patrol officers dislike the most?"

"Officer Lasha, you can speak for me."

A policewoman answered.

"Guarding the corpse."

"That's very honest."

Andrew Bailey looked at Evelyn.

"Officer Evelyn, what about you?"

Evelyn didn't hesitate to recount the unpleasant experiences she had during this time.

"We conducted door-to-door checks during the heavy rain."

"That's right."

The late autumn season brought frequent heavy rains, and the investigations during this period were torture for Evelyn, who began to miss the height of summer.

Andrew Bailey wrote a few words on the whiteboard.

"Important figures experience police patrol work."

Lee Ethan was a little surprised to hear this. It's not that big shots don't experience things, it's just that they wouldn't choose Clermont.

For big shots, the Los Angeles Police Department is the top choice. It's large, safe, and close to home, making it a great place to show off, and you can even get (purchase) an honorary police badge.

What's in Clermont?

Gangs outnumber those in the city center?

One of the police departments with the highest number of police deaths in the state?

Is drug trafficking rampant in Los Angeles County?

The major crackdown three months ago is long over, and the amount of drugs circulating has returned to its previous level.

Lee Esen asked.

"Excuse my bluntness, but what does our police station offer VIPs to experience?"

"That's all thanks to Officer Ethan."

"I?"

Andrew Bailey nodded and explained the whole story.

"Because of your consistently outstanding performance in major cases, at least that's how the media sees you. A Hollywood director, well, a former big director, wants to experience this. He'd like you to provide some case experience as well. Of course, you can discuss the consultation fee yourself. There's even a possibility that a movie based on you might be made in the future. Good luck!"

Filming my movie?

Lee Esen was stunned, but he was still somewhat happy inside.

No, they're coming for him, which means...

"Should I be the one to handle this?"

"Of course, so you need to be mentally prepared. If something happens to the important person, your team will be held responsible. Therefore, your crew can only take on the lowest-risk missions for the next 12 hours, understand?"

"clear."

.

Li Yisen and his companion soon met the so-called director. Li Yisen, who knew little about the director, didn't recognize him at all, having spent more than two years in the past and hadn't even seen many movies.

Lee Ethan didn't recognize her, but Evelyn, being an Indigenous person, recognized her at a glance.

"Jeremy Jonathan, I really enjoyed your movie, The Frontline of Fury."

The middle-aged man, Jeremy Jonathan, smiled.

"Officer Ethan, I've heard so much about you. And this beautiful lady must be Officer Evelyn. I never imagined there was such a beautiful woman in the police station. She's even more beautiful than the leading ladies in all the movies I've starred in."

Although Evelyn shook her head in denial, she was secretly delighted, since most Hollywood leading ladies are great beauties.

Jeremy Jonathan stepped forward to hug Evelyn, but was refused by Lee Ethan, who felt a slight aversion to Jeremy Jonathan the moment he saw him.

Although I don't know why, I still acted on my intuition.

"Please be understanding during your shift."

"Oh, I understand."

As the three headed to the garage, Jeremy Jonathan suddenly pulled out some money and asked in a low voice.

"I want to experience some excitement. Could you make an exception? I'm willing to pay more."

Lee Ethan glanced at the stack of nearly $5000 in bills and refused outright, his aversion growing even stronger.

Ask your partner a question while they are in the restroom.

Is Jeremy Jonathan famous?

Evelyn thought for a moment, nodded, then shook her head.

"I was indeed famous 8 years ago, having made several films that grossed over 3 million yuan, but most of the films I've made in recent years have lost money."

Li Yisen was speechless. Wasn't this just a washed-up director? How could anyone invest in him?

.

The police car continued its low-risk routine patrols, earning two one-star rewards in one afternoon. It didn't take on any cases like shootings, otherwise it might have earned a two-star reward.

Jeremy Jonathan expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Why don't you answer the call? If you do, I can give you some NBA tickets."

Lee Esen said without turning his head.

I don't watch basketball.

"Me too."

"....."

Soon after, the radio station had a new case.

"A gunfight has broken out at 13 Lorraine Street. One police officer has been shot and immediate backup is needed."

Lorraine Street is just two streets away; it only takes two minutes to get there.

Lee Ethan and Evelyn exchanged a glance. They really wanted to go, but there was a troublesome person behind them.

At this point, Jeremy Jonathan spoke up.

"I know you're worried, but saving lives is the priority. Don't worry, I'll stay in the car and won't wander off."

Li Yisen hesitated until the dispatch center sent another message.

"A gunfight has broken out at 13 Lorraine Street. Two police officers have been shot. The situation is urgent and immediate backup is needed."

"Walk."

The police car drifted and stopped behind the robbers, and Li Yisen and his companion hurriedly went to the trunk to retrieve "heavy" weapons.

Lee Ethan uses a B&T APC-9 submachine gun, which, although Swiss-made, is popular with the police and military in America, while Evelyn uses a Remington shotgun.

The two men went to block the criminals' escape route, while Jeremy Jonathan broke his promise and got out of the car with a somewhat meaningful expression.

Three thugs who were exchanging fire with the police were suddenly attacked from behind. Li Yisen quickly raised his gun and fired, and two of the thugs fell to the ground before they could react.

"Bang bang bang bang bang"

The two sides were only 30 meters apart, it would be difficult for them to miss.

"hateful."

The remaining thug fired at Lee Ethan, forcing him to hide behind the wall, which gave Evelyn the opportunity to fire from the other side and hit the target.

"Bang"

A single bullet pierced the prisoner's shoulder, shattering his bones and instantly rendering him incapacitated.

The case was over. Evelyn happily raised her fist, and Lee Ethan smiled and bumped it with her. Although he didn't know if it was luck, taking down the enemy with one shot was indeed very good. It was worth all the training I had given him.

[Ding! Robber subdued, participation rate 30%, 2-star reward earned]

[Achieve Skill-Based, Intermediate Kicking (2 stars): This describes the kicking skills of an amateur football player.]

After all, with a companion distracting the assailant from the front, 30% is already quite good.

[Ding! Two robbers killed, partner killed one, obtained a 3-star weapon chest]

[Ding! Obtained Barrett M95 anti-materiel rifle (civilian): Weight 10 kg, 5-round magazine, effective range 1800 m, maximum range 6000 m, uses 12.7×99mm standard ammunition, comes with 50 rounds.]

The skill rewards were useless, but the weapon chest was unexpected; it barely reached 3 stars, and it was even a powerful weapon like the Barrett.

The civilian version is indeed still quite different from the military version. For example, the military's 20×110mm large-caliber ammunition can penetrate light armored personnel carriers, but the civilian version can only penetrate military jeeps and trucks.

However, the civilian version is already one of the most powerful firearms available, and it is very difficult to purchase.

Lee Ethan was satisfied with his trip, but when he returned to the police car, he was stunned to see that Jeremy Jonathan was injured, shot in the arm. This was bad.

Lee Ethan and Evelyn exchanged a glance, both realizing they were in trouble.
