Chapter 23

Locke hesitated for a moment, then quickly made a decision, turned around at an intersection, and drove back. This was a rare opportunity!

In addition to being cautious, steady, and conservative, his work style also has a hidden characteristic.

That is, he is actually good at adapting to circumstances, and he is not a rigid person.

Otherwise, he would not have become the longest-lived scavenger in the organization in his previous life.

No matter how good the plan is, it is impossible to accurately calculate sudden accidents and rapidly changing variables.

Avadia’s bodyguards did not keep watch downstairs, which meant that Avadia was alone now.

Locke parked the car opposite the apartment building and recalled the lighting of the apartment building when he just passed by. After a while, the lights in three rooms changed, two turned on, and one turned off.

Finally, his eyes stopped at a lighted room on the seventh floor. The seventh floor is the top floor. If he were Avadia, he would choose to live here instead of the room on the third floor.

The top floor is convenient for escape.

After confirming the room where Avadia was, Locke did not act rashly. He waited for another half an hour. After finding nothing unusual, he drove the car to the downstairs of the apartment building.

He put on latex gloves and a baseball cap and walked into the apartment building with tools.

Apartments in such chaotic areas naturally have no security and cameras.

Locke did not take the elevator, but climbed the stairs to the seventh floor. He quickly found Avadia’s room according to the direction of the light.

After standing at the door and eavesdropping for a while, he could vaguely hear singing coming from the room. He guessed that Avadia should be taking a shower, so he unlocked the door and entered the room directly.

It can be said that 90% of the locks in the world are useless under L2’s lock-picking skills. In less than five seconds, he entered the room.

The room is not too big, with two bedrooms and two living rooms, and a very typical Mexican decoration style. The singing really came from the bathroom.

Locke checked whether there were cameras in the room at the first time. After finding none, he checked whether there were other people in the two rooms.

Usually, small leaders like Avadia who are sent abroad are usually alone in Los Angeles, and their families stay in Mexico.

He was doing a job that would cost him his life, so he couldn’t leave his family around, and his family was also hostage to the gang.

Locke also saw Avadia’s family photos in the room. They were a very happy family, all smiling brightly.

Locke opened the toolbox, took out a special anesthetic he had prepared, and walked slowly to the door of the bathroom, as if he had returned to his previous life.

Scavengers don’t just deal with dead things, sometimes they also need to work as killers part-time to deal with living things.

Kill first and then clean up, one-stop service.

After a while, Avadia, wearing dark gold pajamas, came out of the bathroom, still humming a cheerful Mexican song. Before he could react, he was pricked by a needle on the back of his neck. He was about to turn his head, but his eyes went black and he fainted.

When Avadia woke up, he found himself lying on the floor of the bathroom, his whole body sore and weak, but through the touch of his fingers, he could feel that there was a large piece of plastic film under him, and his face changed instantly.

“Avadia, I have something to ask you, I hope you can answer truthfully…”

The voice came from above, in authentic Mexican Spanish.

Avadia’s heart trembled, and he wanted to look up at the person who was speaking, but found that he couldn’t do it. He was in despair and cried, “I admit that I leaked the last transaction to the DEA (US Drug Enforcement Administration). They forced me to do it. Please tell Jose that I have become an informant of the DEA. I am still useful to the gang. I will make up for the loss as soon as possible. Don’t kill me, don’t hurt my family…”

“…”

Locke looked at the man who was crying and frightened on the ground expressionlessly. It seems that this guy knows what’s good and has realized what will happen next.

He frowned. He originally just wanted to get some information about the Menodi organization from Avadia, but he didn’t expect to have an unexpected gain.

Avadia turned out to be an informant of the DEA, and just cooperated with the DEA to shut down the transaction of his own organization. No wonder he is so guilty!

Locke pondered for a moment and asked, “What did the DEA use to force you?”

“…”

Awadiya remained silent, and after a while he begged, “I want to talk to Jose…”

Locke guessed that this Jose should be the boss of the Pasya organization, but he didn’t have the other party’s phone number, so what kind of phone call was there!

He ignored Awadiya, took out another medicine and injected it into his neck. This was a medicine similar to the CIA’s truth serum, but with greater side effects.

After the injection, in order to lower Awadiya’s psychological defenses, Locke said coldly, “Awadiya, how will you end up? What do you think in your heart?Clearly, if you confess everything, I promise you that your family will be fine…” He was telling the truth. Avadia betrayed the organization, and Pasya probably didn’t know it yet. When he died, this matter would be taken to hell with him, and his family would naturally not be harmed. Locke asked again: “What did the DEA use to force you? ”

Avadia felt his heartbeat quicken and he felt dizzy. Hearing that his family would be fine, he relaxed and blurted out, “The DEA found out that I falsified accounts…”

Listening to Avadia’s statement, Locke was speechless. It turned out that this guy had been embezzling money from the Pasya organization by falsifying accounts. Not long ago, the bar’s tax issues were targeted by the IRS (US Federal Tax Police), but the IRS had already known that he was a drug dealer through internal information, so they passed this discovery to the DEA.

So the DEA used this incident to threaten Avadia and forced him to be an informant for the DEA.

Avadia was born a pimp and was very soft-hearted. The DEA used a little trick and he surrendered. The last time he leaked the transaction of his organization to the DEA was his token of loyalty.

This guy has embezzled nearly 2 million from the Pasya organization in more than ten years, but he dared not show it or send it back to Mexico. He hid the money in a safe house.

Locke memorized the address of the safe house in his mind and asked, “What is the password of your bedroom safe? ”

When he checked the room just now, he found a big safe in the bedroom.

“9527…”

Avadia’s consciousness had begun to blur, and he answered whatever Locke asked.

Locke then asked: “What’s in the safe?”

Avadia replied intermittently: “This month’s turnover, account books, goods, guns, and my watch…”

Locke saw that this guy was dying, so he hurriedly asked about the purpose of tonight, “Tell me all the information you know about the Menodi organization…”

Avadia was a little down, and he didn’t react for a long time. After a while, he said: “Menodi no longer exists. It was destroyed by Santoni three days ago. The backbone of the organization was hung under the viaduct in Tijuana. Only some small Karami joined other gangs…”

Locke was stunned. He was still thinking that after he figured out the situation of the Menodi organization, he would go to Tijuana once during the next administrative leave to eliminate this trouble.

But he didn’t expect that the trouble was gone before he started.
