Chapter 226 I don’t care if the NCPD doesn’t care

[David: Brother, we have received the call and are rushing to the location you gave us. 】

[Lille: Have you encountered any difficulties? 】

[David: A few, but it’s settled. 】

[Lille: Well done. 】

Lille has now brought people to River's safe house, which is a small, unused shabby house on the edge of Santo Domingo.

After checking the surrounding environment and the network environment, Lear sent a message to River:

[Lille: Your place is pretty good. When are you coming over? 】

[River: I found the policeman you mentioned and will be there soon. 】

[River: You are the first one to say that this place is good. NCPD has no funds. I paid for everything myself. Although it is a bit ugly, it is definitely safe. 】

[Lille: I’m talking about safety. 】

Hongren from the Tiger Claw Gang was kneeling in the living room with a bruised nose and swollen face, and his prosthetic body was still shaking due to malfunction.

Ivan sat upright on the sofa, even afraid to breathe.

V dug out a rainbow manticore from the refrigerator and threw it to Jack and then continued to rummage. Jack opened the can and started handing out drinks, picked up the high-energy cookies that Lil gave him and started chewing them.

Lear pointed the manticore to Ivan and took a can himself: "Drink and take a rest."

"Thank you." Ivan was really hungry. His leg had been chopped off, he had lost blood and hadn't eaten. He grabbed the things on the table and stuffed them into his stomach. He looked like a desert cook.

"Tell me what you did in the Kabuki District and how you got involved with the Tiger Claw Gang."

"I'm from stall No. 13. I was originally selling normal Mewtwo equipment. I have a certificate. You can check it at the municipal office. The serial number."

"Okay, I don't care about this. Why are you helping the Tiger Claw Gang?"

"I" Ivan seemed to find it a bit difficult to say, "I help them deliver the goods and then supply them."

Lear raised his eyebrows: "Is it that way, if they don't tell you, you just pretend you don't know what they are doing?"

Ivan nodded silently.

"Then the policeman named Anna came to you?"

"Yes." Ivan nodded, "Brother, I'm really not. Alas, the Tiger Claw Gang said I didn't want to do it, so they overthrew me and made it impossible for me to continue working in Night City."

"Okay, don't explain, I don't want to hear this." Lear shook his head.

He has seen too many small characters like Ivan.

Then Lille looked at Hong Ren again: "What about you? Were you involved in kidnapping people on the street?"

After saying that, Lille removed the interference of the prosthetic body on him, Hong Ren's body softened.

The prosthetic body that had just been locked was forcibly hanging his broken biological organs. The pain, fatigue and stiffness made him unable to survive or die.

Although he is still a broken body now, he has at least regained some sense of relaxation.

If his tear ducts were still functioning, he could even shed a lot of tears - but unfortunately he had no tears anymore.

But before he could relax for a few moments, he found that he was locked again with his head on the ground.

The fear pounded into his brain.

V looked at Hongren who was on the ground, desperate for life and helpless, and sighed: "Sometimes I think network regulators have their own reasons for strictly controlling hackers."

"Not many hackers can do this."

"Yes, yes - you're awesome, Lear." V sat next to Lear and patted Lear's shoulder.

Lille ignored V and unlocked Hong Ren's prosthetic body: "Okay, tell me, you know what will happen if you don't tell the truth."

Hiroto cried bitterly - no matter whether his body could support this operation or not, his mind wanted to cry bitterly.

"I did it before. I helped the Tiger Claw gang transport dummies."

"What's a dummy?"

"The gangs call these kidnappers dummies. I will say anything!"

"Then just say it"

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the door, and Lille raised his hand to signal a pause.

Ivan suddenly became nervous: "Who is it?"

"Our client."

Click.

The door opened and River walked in, followed by a black female police officer, both of whom were wearing police uniforms——

Seeing them, Ivan jumped up suddenly - but because he had no legs, he couldn't jump very high.

He was shocked, scared and angry, looking around as if he was going to jump out of the window and run away in the next second!

But the Hong man on the ground seemed to be relieved.

"What the hell, why is this a note!" Ivan looked around, then collapsed with a pale face, "It's over."

Obviously, this female police officer was Anna Hamill, who had caught him before and promised him that he would be safe if he confessed.

Anna said angrily: "You also know it's over?"

Ivan was even more furious: "What the hell are you asking me?! Damn it, I believed you and you just sold me?!"

River walked up to the two of them and stretched out his arms to signal both parties to calm down.

"Wait a minute, tell me what happened, Anna, we found you and the messages he sent in Ivan's mailbox. Why didn't you protect your witness?"

"My witness? Yes, he confessed something, but he is not worthy of my protection." Anna's expression was stern. "You don't know as much as I do. If you saw what I saw, you would still be eager to participate." Or die."

"That's not the point." River shook his head. "The point is that we are the police and you abandoned your witness."

"Haha." Anna's tone was still cold, "I received a similar call to the police five days ago. This was a communication between the victim and her mother before she disappeared."

As she spoke, she took out a chip and inserted it into the player on the table.

[Tracy Owens: Mom, help me]

[Tracy Owens: I might have been kidnapped]

[Tracy Owens: Mom, please help me]

[Ana Owens: What? ! Tracy baby, where are you? ! 】

[Tracy Owens: I don’t know]

[Ana Owens: Where were you when they took you away? 】

[Ana Owens: Whatever comes to mind, Tracey, tell me]

[Tracy Owens: I’m having a party at Rachel’s house]

[Tracy Owens: I didn’t remember it afterwards]

[Tracy Owens: I think I'm on a boat]

[Ana Owens: I called the police on Tracy. They are looking for you. I love you! ! ! 】

Playback ends.

Anna's face became more and more angry: "Do you know how many calls like this I received?! It's just because of these bastards!"

Ivan curled up on the sofa, holding his head, and said painfully: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really am."

"What's the use of being sorry? It's because of you Black Mewtwo's industrial chain, these damn things."

"Then what the hell do you think I should do!" Ivan's face became even more ferocious, "Damn NCPD, where were you when the Tiger Claw Gang was collecting protection fees in the market and threatening citizens?

Why don't you ignore them when they're arrogantly racing on the streets? When they kidnap people."

Not to be outdone, the two competed against each other, with River caught in the middle--

But in terms of the level of madness, it was obvious that Ivan was closer to collapse. He almost roared at the top of his lungs: "Did you know that when the Tiger Claw Gang arrested people, your car was right next to it!

You know those people who are threatened, when they call the police, the police officer is watching right next to them!

They say they believe in the NCPD. The NCPD is the city’s last protective wall. But what’s the result?

I believe your father is a fool! Now it's not just me, my sister is dying too!

You want to know everything? Okay, now go catch your good colleague! "

The expressions of the rest of the people in the room, including Lao Han outside the room, all changed slightly:

It turns out that calling the police is useless because the police are watching. Now it’s complicated.

This time the room was silent, except for Ivan's heavy breathing.

Anna still stared, but it was obvious that she was a little less confident.

There was a rumble of engines outside the window.

Lille intervened in the quarrel and patted Ivan on the shoulder, which took away the boy's anger.

"Why don't you believe me? I told you that I have little to do with the NCPD. I'm just an outsourcer at most. The police don't care. I do. Let's see who comes."

".Ivan?"

Martha hurried in and saw Ivan, who had lost two legs and had dull eyes. He strode over and hugged her idiot brother tightly.

"Martha, you're not in trouble, are you?"

"The Tiger Claw Gang wanted to capture me, but the mercenaries you found settled the problem. I didn't even know you had such friends.

It seems like you haven't been wandering around in vain on the street. "

Ivan burst into tears and burst into tears.

"Sister, I. I have always lied to you before. I am just... just a fool who was helped by Tiger Claw."

"Just stay alive, just stay alive."

David held his waist and walked to the door with Lucy's help. He gave Lear a thumbs up and a somewhat forced smile on his face:

[David: Brother, I did a pretty good job, right? 】

[Lille: Well done, the deal is closed. 】

After saying that, Lille sent another message to V:
