CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 392: POLICE AND PUBLIC COOPERATION_2
After sitting down, Mountain Eagle glanced at the fat police officer’s nameplate and said with a smile, "Hello, Officer Redick, I am Yue Shan..."
The fat police officer Redick sized up the Mountain Eagle, who had changed into a new set of clothes and looked even more distinguished, and smiled, "May I call you ’Mountain’?"
After getting Mountain Eagle’s permission, Redick asked, "Mountain, are you of Chinese descent? Where are you from? What do you do?"
Mountain Eagle had nothing to hide and spread his hands, saying, "I’m a Chinese descendant from Thailand. We’re in the same line of work, I’m also a police officer..."
Redick was taken aback and said, "Do Thai Police get such good treatment? Coming to Alaska for a trip and staying in the presidential suite?"
Mountain Eagle shrugged indifferently, smiling, "Being a police officer is my personal hobby, I also run some family businesses..."
Redick, curious, asked, "Like what businesses?"
Mountain Eagle frowned at Redick, who had obviously overstepped the bounds, and thought for a moment before saying, "Like the Gold business...
I came to Alaska partly for tourism and partly to find a suitable channel to purchase a batch of gold to bring back to Thailand."
Hearing this, Redick realized and said, "Then you’ve come to the right place, but there’s a problem now..."
Mountain Eagle looked at Redick, who was implying something more profound, and nodded firmly, "I’m aware. If it’s related to that guy from last night, I have no regrets.
If you, Officer, are willing to consider things from my perspective, I think I could save on lawyer fees.
I plan to buy a few of the highest-level hunting licenses; the money saved on lawyer fees would allow me to hunt some big game legally."
As Mountain Eagle was speaking, Daria brought him a cup of coffee, then turned and sat down next to the Butcher.
Redick took a glance at Daria’s enchanting figure from behind, sighed, and said, "Mountain, you’re someone who knows how to enjoy life, but now you’re in trouble..."
Saying so, Redick didn’t beat around the bush. He took a document from the chair, placed it on the table, and slid it in front of Mountain Eagle...
Seeing Mountain Eagle looking at him with a puzzled expression, Redick with a serious face flipped open the file and said in a deep voice, "The man who was stabbed to death last night was Ferman Acto, a Gold Digger who frequently traveled between Alaska and Seattle.
The three who robbed Acto are from a newly established local gang, very unfortunately, the man who died in the ambulance last night was called Sean Jones, whose brother Billy Jones is the boss of that gang.
We’ve had our eye on this gang for a while, but we’ve never been able to catch Billy Jones red-handed..."
Mountain Eagle suddenly realized why the guy’s eyes were shifty before; he wanted him to cooperate as a decoy, to catch the gangsters in action and bust this so-called local gang.
If he did this without Mountain Eagle’s consent, a simple lawyer could sue the local police department into bankruptcy.
Mountain Eagle had no particular feelings about gangsters, but he couldn’t just become bait for no reason, so he pretended to be curious and asked, "What’s the main business of this Billy Jones?"
After a moment of thought, Redick said, "Billy Jones, nicknamed ’Horned Demon,’ owns a nightclub and two bars in Anchorage...
This guy initially made his fortune smuggling wildlife products, later moving on to trafficking marijuana and Fentanyl. Recently, he started getting involved in smuggling gold."
As he spoke, Redick looked at Mountain Eagle, who clearly knew the ropes, and said seriously, "Horned Demon Billy is suspected of being involved in 15 murder cases, and 23 incidents of violent assault, but unfortunately, those witnesses either vanished or recanted their testimonies, allowing this son of a bitch to remain at large.
You’re a police officer too; you should realize how dangerous such a rapidly rising gang can be!"
Of course, Mountain Eagle understood...
From the charges Horned Demon Billy was suspected of, it was clear this guy did not have a powerful background, so he had to rely on violence to expand.
With such circumstances, every step in the gang’s development would be accompanied by bloodshed conflicts, which also means social instability.
"Instability" is a deadly poison for any place seeking development and must be dealt with severely.
However, this had nothing to do with Mountain Eagle, the Thai Police officer...
He looked at Redick with a sincere expression and said with a smile, "Sir, if I cooperate with you, does that mean I have to risk being besieged by the gang?
Don’t tell me you can provide complete protection; we all know that a risk is still a risk."
Mountain Eagle pointed to the not-so-busy restaurant and said with a laugh, "You see, I’m not short on money. What I need to do now is to spend money to hire a group of reliable security guards, and then find the best Guiding Hunting Company to accompany me on this trip."
After listening to this, Redick shook his head and said, "I bet you can’t find any guiding hunting company willing to serve you anymore..."
Mountain Eagle’s eyes narrowed, and he said unhappily, "Are you threatening me..."
Redick hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Of course not, it’s the Horned Demon Billy. We got the news this morning; most of the tourist guiding hunting companies in Anchorage have received phone warnings...
At the same time, I must tell you, this guy is involved in wildlife product smuggling and knows many excellent hunters. Once those hunters leave the city, they become uncontrollable!"
Mountain Eagle knew that Redick was hinting that the Bill could mobilize many assassins, but there were some things he didn’t understand, so he frowned and said, "Is this guy’s brain broken?
To go to war with a wealthy person staying in a luxury hotel presidential suite, just because of an idiot who robs luxury hotels?
Do I look particularly easy to bully?"
Redick’s expression was a bit strange as he said, "Maybe it’s because you are a Chinese descendant..."
Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle suddenly realized and said, "Oh, racial discrimination!
They think Chinese descendants are especially easy to bully!
Wealthy Chinese descendants are the best targets for extortion!
The death of that idiot last night definitely wasn’t because of me...
Let me guess, daring to run to a luxury hotel lobby to commit murder and robbery, this is no longer simply stupidity; it’s more likely drug-induced brain damage.
The cause of that guy’s death last night was drug overdose, right?
This Horned Demon Billy just wants to maintain his pitiful self-esteem and also wants to make a big score off of me, an easy-to-bully Chinese descendant, correct?"
Redick nodded gravely and said, "You can also choose to accept police protection, then wait for the autopsy report to come out, and we will escort you to the airport to leave Alaska directly.
Although our police force isn’t that plentiful, I will try my best to ensure your safety..."
Mountain Eagle looked at Redick’s not-so-heartfelt act, took a sip of his coffee, and then shook his head with a laugh...
This white and chubby man’s purpose is to use me to strike at the gangs. If I don’t agree, he will delay my journey, and then I will have to choose between their protection or hiring my own protection...
When Horned Demon Billy shows up, the outcome is the same for him.
Mountain Eagle’s safety, in Redick’s heart, is far less important than striking at Horned Demon Billy!
A mix of carrot and stick tactics, Redick is very skilled at playing this game!
However, Mountain Eagle felt that the last tactic, the ’enticement’, was still lacking...
If you want Mountain Eagle to cooperate, you have to bear the consequences of that cooperation!
Looking at this white, chubby man posing like a tough cop, Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "Since you want me to take risks, it should be reasonable for me to make a few requests, right?"
Redick was momentarily stunned and said, "You name it, as long as it’s within my power, I can find a way."
Mountain Eagle smiled with a grin and said, "I want three of the highest-level hunting licenses, so I can go buy some weapons to defend myself at the gun store...
That’s a reasonable request, isn’t it?"
