CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 355: NEW TROUBLE

Miss Tessa walked onto the terrace of the café and saw Mountain Eagle sitting in front of crispy fried shrimp tails, enjoying coffee with Sofia.

When Miss Tessa sat down next to Mountain Eagle, Shasili, who could only move one arm, brought over a plate of crispy, golden fried fish fillets and also poured a cup of coffee for Miss Tessa.

Watching Mountain Eagle looking composed, Miss Tessa frowned and said, "How can you be so unaffected? Someone is trying to kill you, and so many people have died..."

Mountain Eagle took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "They are dead, I am alive, what should I feel?"

Miss Tessa glanced at a captive lying on the ground at the corner of the terrace, his right hand wrapped in thick bandages, curled into a ball, continuously letting out deep moans...

Unaccustomed to such an atmosphere, Miss Tessa frowned and said, "Is this really necessary?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head decisively, "It’s not necessary. I’m not a sadist. But with the limited conditions here, it’s already good that they are alive.

These people are mercenaries from Bulgaria. They entered legally with tourist visas and then someone provided them with weapons and transportation.

Their initial target was not me but Anna...

They wanted to use Anna to force the two elderly men to hand over Snowden to them.

But then they found that I was an obstacle to them, or rather, using me could destabilize the position of Anna’s side...

That’s why I became the target!

These people are just the first wave, and the easiest to deal with. More fierce attacks will definitely follow."

The amount of information Mountain Eagle provided was overwhelming, but the first thing Miss Tessa focused on was Mountain Eagle’s safety, anxiously saying, "You can leave this place, Sunset Mountain is too exposed. Leave here and go to Kamui, we have enough manpower there to ensure your safety."

Mountain Eagle shook his head decisively, "I can’t turn Kamui into a battlefield. Tourism here has just picked up, and we must continue this trend.

So, I have to stay here and face the upcoming enemies..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle held Miss Tessa’s hand, seriously saying, "You are my only backup, but what you need to do is investigate the identities of these mercenaries, search their residences, and see if you can find the guys supporting them.

I think the two people killed by Chakdi might be their contacts.

But for supplying so many mercenaries with weapons and logistics, it’s impossible for there to be just two contacts. There must be more.

I guess their hideout might not be in Kamui but rather in Dongli Prefecture to the south.

From Malaysia Penang, it’s only a few hundred kilometers to sail to Dongli Prefecture. They can smuggle enough weapons there to hide, then transport them in batches to Kamui for the mercenaries’ use."

Miss Tessa nodded seriously, then suddenly realized something and said, "Did you just mention Snowden? Please don’t tell me it’s Edward Snowden..."

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "Who else could be causing such a stir besides him?"

Miss Tessa incredulously said, "I heard on the news that Snowden is in Moscow..."

Mountain Eagle chuckled, "My dear, if everything the news said was true, the world would be at peace."

With that, Mountain Eagle looked at the astonished Miss Tessa and continued smiling, "Don’t overthink it...

Anna is a guest, and her arrival has brought a large group of rich folks with nowhere to spend their money, like Philip Royce, who is one of them and currently locked up in my office detention room.

Technically, Kamui should take care of tourists’ safety, but Anna’s troubles clearly exceed the capabilities of the Kamui police, so I might as well handle it myself.

You all can pretend to be oblivious to it. No matter what happens to Sunset Mountain, the Kamui military police absolutely cannot take massive action, or it would definitely cause big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Miss Tessa shook her head and said, "No, you have too few people here. I can leave Supa and others here to assist you..."

Mountain Eagle quickly waved his hands, "Absolutely not, they need to ensure your safety...

Your task is important. We have two prisoners here; the Butcher is conducting the final interrogations, and soon there will be a detailed statement to hand over to you.

You need to dig out those contacts, and it would be best to uncover their arms smuggling routes too.

This is definitely a big case...

And as long as the military police don’t massively support Sunset Mountain or halt their intended tactics, those people won’t cause chaos in Kamui but will follow the rules and play cat and mouse with the police.

Tessa, this is very important!"

Miss Tessa, being a police officer, clearly understood Mountain Eagle’s point...

That is, no matter how the battle is fought, however it turns out, it doesn’t matter; the key is not to jeopardize Kamui’s currently favorable situation.

And controlling the other side’s arms smuggling route is key to reducing the intensity of the battle.

Thailand is open; they can’t stop the mercenaries from legally entering Kamui. Only by breaking their arms supply lines can they prevent the opponent from continuously using refill tactics to pressure Sunset Mountain while avoiding escalating the conflict.

Unbeknownst to the public, containing the danger or minimizing the impact on the public, cooperating with government departments to maintain a stable and peaceful situation, that’s the police’s duty.

Miss Tessa, with a conflicted expression, looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "But your injuries..."

Mountain Eagle cheerily waved his hand, "I’m not running around. I’m just waiting for them on the mountain. As long as they don’t have heavy artillery, they can’t come up.

Don’t worry about manpower; I have it under control."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle watched the Butcher walking over from the parking lot and smiled, "Take these two prisoners back, first send them to the hospital to save their lives, and then you can write a report to apply for headquarters’ funds and support.

The local police in Kamui are really terrible, after all, we still rely on our Miss Tessa to maintain the peace and order here."

Miss Tessa, given a high compliment by Mountain Eagle, said with a bit of reluctance, "I’m still a bit worried..."

Tessa was talking when Mountain Eagle picked up the phone. After listening for a few seconds, he laughed cheerily, chatted for a bit, and then hung up...

"Look, my reinforcements have arrived, hurry up and get rid of the bodies and the captive..."

...

"Why do we have to leave?"

Mrs. Cha hugged her son, Chami, and her daughter, Mili, preventing them from looking at the body on the ground...

Seeing her husband’s heavy expression, Mrs. Cha said tearfully, "This is our home, he wants to hurt us, why do we have to leave, we can call the police."

Chakdi struggled to drag a Caucasian’s body into a fish-cleaning basin to prevent blood from spilling onto the floor.

Seeing his wife’s reluctant look, Chakdi chuckled bitterly: "I am the police now..."

As he pointed at the body in the basin, Chakdi continued, "This guy and the two people who came looking for me before are from the same group, they are very dangerous...

You go to the boat first, I’ll call the boss right now and see what he has to say?"

Upon hearing that, Mrs. Cha pointed at the body in the basin and said, "What about him? You can’t drag him away..."

Chakdi thought for a moment and said, "You go to the boat first, I’ll figure something out..."

...

An hour and a half later...

The Butcher drove to Ao Nan Beach, just as Chakdi arrived at the beach near the office on his boat.

It was the time for tourists to board, and the shallows near the south side of the office were crowded with boats lined up for work.

Chakdi was wearing a brand new uniform, which helped him navigate the boat to the shore...

Seeing the Butcher who had already arrived, Chakdi jumped down from the boat, carried his daughter across the seawater, and stepped onto the beach.

The Butcher, watching Chakdi’s family come ashore, frowned and asked, "What about the person you mentioned?"

Chakdi pointed to the fishing boat he had come in and said, "On the boat..."

The Butcher followed Chakdi to the side of the boat and seeing several large black plastic bags on the deck, he asked, "Where is the person?"

Chakdi dragged two bags into the sea, utilizing the buoyancy of the water to drag them toward the shore while saying, "My back is not good, I can’t drag them alone, I had to do it in several rounds..."

The Butcher, who had seen more dead bodies than many people’s QQ friends, was still stunned by Chakdi’s casual attitude.

This guy had dismembered a person for easier transportation...

Watching Chakdi moving with difficulty, the Butcher looked at the remaining large bags on the boat, helplessly dragged those bags down, caught up with the stumbling Chakdi within a few steps, and said, "Are you fucking a serial killer or a fisherman?

You’re the police, if you can’t drag it, just leave the body at the original place and call the cops, someone will handle it."

Chakdi shook his head and said, "That won’t work, if the body stays in the house for too long, there will be restless spirits in my house, and it will frighten my children."

The Butcher glanced at Mrs. Cha and the two children standing on the shore and said in disbelief, "You’re so ferocious, even ghosts wouldn’t dare to come near you, right?

And by chopping people up into pieces and taking them away, they wouldn’t be scared?"

Chakdi matter-of-factly said, "They didn’t see it, so they won’t be scared."

The Butcher nodded in admiration, just about to speak, but felt the bag in his hand grazed by a rock...

Looking down, a foot protruded from one of the bags, the Butcher quickly squatted down to stuff the foot back in, then frantically carried several bags and hurriedly ran onto the beach.

The handsome Supa stood next to a police car, watching a squad from the New 191 Battalion led by a United States Seal, running along the coastline in pairs, each carrying a log...

Supa knew his career with the 191 was probably coming to an end, he sighed wistfully, just about to encourage his buddy next to him, when he saw the Butcher and a short guy awkwardly dragging several large plastic bags towards him.

Supa frowned and moved forward a few steps, taking over the bag from Chakdi’s hand, then looked at the Butcher and asked, "Where’s the body? I need to take a photo of him so we can try to find his address."

The Butcher laboriously tossed several bags into the back seat of the police car, then pointed to the big bag in Supa’s hand and said, "The body is in your hand, you need to find the head if you want to take photos..."

Supa did not immediately understand, but when he saw a foot sticking out from the back seat of the car, he was so scared he almost sat down on the ground, then looked at the bag in his hand and swallowed, saying, "shit..."

The Butcher nodded and said, "You need to turn up the air conditioning in the police car a bit more, otherwise, the smell of this thing will be like dog shit very soon."

Supa looked back at his ambulance and said with a wry smile, "Why didn’t you put it in the ambulance?"

The Butcher waved his hand and said, "This guy has been put in plastic bags, don’t waste emergency resources; leave it for the people on the beach instead."

After saying that, the Butcher turned to Chakdi and said, "Our boss bought you plane tickets and booked a hotel, he wants you to go to Bangkok and have fun for half a month before coming back.

I’ll take you to the airport right away; someone will meet you in Bangkok and you can have fun for a couple of days."

Chakdi glanced at his wife and children, was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "This trouble is caused by me, I won’t leave...

Please take my wife and kids to the airport...

Those people were looking for me; I’ll find a way to deal with them."

The Butcher was not someone who liked to persuade others; he nodded and said, "We’ll take them to the airport, and you come with me to see the boss, listen to what he has to say before deciding.

These people are not just your trouble but trouble for all of us.

If you have a way to find them, maybe the boss can save a lot of trouble."

Chakdi nodded grimly and said, "I know why that person was looking for me..."
