Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 39 I Want a Hammer
The monitoring equipment is just two mobile phones, which have not been modified at all and are just connected to a power bank.

The killer's electronic equipment is not all very fancy. The problem can be solved with a cheap mobile phone, and there is no need for anything particularly high-tech.

Place the phone not far from the roadside, find a pile of sisal, hide the phone in the shade, and then just expose the camera facing the road.

The reason for this arrangement is that as long as the target goes out, it is impossible that there is only one car. Then the vehicles coming from both directions of the highway can be monitored. As long as there is no car passing by the west of the target manor, but the camera on the east side captures a car, it can only be a car coming out of the target manor.

Then comes the boring and agonizing wait.

From the time we arrived around noon until four in the afternoon, the camera captured quite a few cars, but not a single one came out of the manor.

"Can we do this? Just wait?"

Gao Yi knew that he was asking a stupid question, but he was really annoyed by waiting.

"You can go back. Monitoring the target for a long time is actually the assistant's job."

Sean wouldn't call Gao Yi "Sir" all the time when they were outside, but when Gao Yi couldn't help but ask, he once again gave Gao Yi a reason that was hard for him to refuse.

The assistants do all the hard work, and the killer is only responsible for the final blow. If this is how things are done in Huayuan, can Gao Yi still refuse to join?

Gao Yi was indeed a little confused, but he was able to grasp the core of the problem.

"Even if I join the Garden, who will be my assistant? Is it you?"

Gao Yi stared at Sean and asked a soul-searching question.

Yes, Sean is very capable and is an excellent assistant in terms of attitude and ability.

But when Gao Yi joined the garden, is Sean still his assistant?
If it were someone else, like Luca, then what would be the point of Gao Yi keeping him? It would be better for him to work alone.

But Sean seemed to be prepared for Gao Yi's question. He smiled and said, "It depends on what the mission is. It may not be me, but you will definitely have a dedicated assistant. If you are strong enough and become a flower in the garden, you will get a team that will serve you alone."

Gao Yi waved his hand and said lazily: "Forget it then. I said it, how could I be given a top-notch match right from the start? I'm a newcomer, so they must assign me a new assistant. I'm a very famous killer, so they might assign me a good one. In this case, there's no point in me joining the Garden."

Sean said seriously, "No, you should already know that the situation in the garden is not very good right now, so we have a professional team of assistants. What we lack is a terminator who can deliver a fatal blow. The core of a killer team, to put it bluntly, is an outstanding killer. So if you perform well, you will get a top team."

In a mature and stable top killer team, Gao Yi is the only newcomer and outsider. Wouldn't Gao Yi become the gecko's tail?

It would have been better if he didn't say anything. The more he talked, the less he wanted to join. However, Gao Yi's EQ was not so low as to refuse immediately. He just pretended to be thinking deeply, and then said, "I'll think about it."

Sean will seize every opportunity to brainwash Gao Yi, but he will not force his way through.

The two fell silent again and continued to stare at the small screen in front of them.

Gao Yi could now hand over all the work to Sean, but with only one car, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Just when he was feeling bored, Sean suddenly stood up and said urgently, "Five cars are coming out. They are the target!"

Gao Yi immediately perked up, and Sean had already shifted the car into gear and drove out of the parking spot on the side of the road.

"We'll go first. We'll go slowly and control our speed so that we can meet up with the target's convoy just before entering the city."

Sean also explained to Gao Yi that after driving the car onto the road, he drove along the road at a normal speed.

It cannot be too fast, nor too slow. Just run at the normal speed of a small car and wait for the target convoy to pass you.

There was a hurried honking of a horn from far behind. Sean glanced in the rearview mirror and then moved the car to the right side of the road.

The first two cars were black Range Rovers, the third car was a Rolls-Royce, the fourth car was also a Range Rover, and the last car was a large pickup truck.

There was something covered with oilcloth in the cargo bed at the back of the pickup truck. It was quite tall and its shape was not very obvious, but Gao Yi felt that it was a machine gun no matter how hard he looked at it.

It's really brazen for a drug lord's convoy to parade through the city like this.

The convoy whizzed past with no intention of slowing down. Gao Yi and his team followed slowly from behind, watching the convoy go farther and farther away until it disappeared from their sight.

"Can we still keep up?"

Sean sighed and said, "I'm not sure. I can only guess where the target is. There are too many places he could go in the city, such as the company headquarters, his home in the city, or a nightclub, or a hotel."

"Restaurant?"

Gao Yi is sensitive to the word "restaurant" because he thinks it is most convenient to take action in a restaurant, so he likes to go to places like restaurants.

"Yes, it's possible to go to a restaurant."

Sean looked at his watch and said, "It's 4:30 in the afternoon. It's obviously too early to eat. The nightclub is not open. There is no need to go back to the house in the city. In addition, the target's motorcade is all luxury cars. I think he may want to meet a very important person. But if it's a business negotiation, this time seems a bit late, so... let me think about it." After thinking for a moment, Sean suddenly took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and quickly said, "Please help me check if Suleimante has made any major business moves recently, and if the main officials in Mexicali have been replaced, especially the departments that get off work at 5 pm."

Xiao En hung up the phone, and Gao Yi asked curiously: "Can all these be checked?"

"Yes, it's all public information, enough to make an accurate judgment."

Sean slowed down the car as they were entering the city and there were more and more vehicles.

About five minutes later, Sean's phone rang. He answered the call and asked, "Did you find anything?"

After listening to the conversation on the phone for a while, Sean hung up the phone and immediately said to Gao Yi, "The target is entering the city during this time. The most likely reason is to meet with the Mexicali police chief. The new chief takes office today. Due to his status as the police chief, he cannot enter the target's manor to meet with him. So they will meet in a secret place to complete the talks first."

It makes sense and seems magical, but if you think about it carefully, it is a very normal judgment.

"Then what? We know the target wants to meet someone, but do we have a chance to act?"

"You need to make a judgment on this. As you can see, the target is protected by at least 20 people. Although there is no limit to the method, the consequences of forceful action will not be good."

Killing a target that is heavily protected is the value of a killer. If you gather a large number of people and kill the target head-on, that is not the killer's style.

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "We were lucky to meet our target on the first day."

Sean didn't respond, he just kept driving around.

Gao Yi exhaled and said, "It's a pity that we don't know where the target is going to meet someone. It would be great if we could wait for the target to show up. Whether there is a chance or not is not something we can guess here now."

Sean said calmly, "The target may treat guests to a meal, but if he wants to treat the new director to a meal, it may be at a mansion in the city, but if he eats alone, he may go to a Mexican restaurant he often goes to recently. The food there suits his taste."

"What hotel?"

"Palio Restaurant, a traditional Mexican restaurant named after the chef, is upscale but not luxurious, and is very popular among old-school Mexican rich people."

There was nothing to hesitate about, Gao Yi immediately said: "Let's go to the restaurant and wait for the target. No matter what he will do today, we will go to the restaurant and wait for him. If he goes, I will have the opportunity to take action."

"Okay, do you need any weapons?"

Sean didn't ask any unnecessary questions. Once Gao Yi made the decision, he would cooperate.

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Can I have a gun?"

"Yes, but there are not many choices. Today we are just investigating. I don't have a gun with me. If you decide to use a gun, I will prepare one for you right away. What kind of gun do you need?"

Gao Yi was a little curious and asked, "Do you think I can get close to the target with a gun?"

“Less likely to get close to the target and more likely to be exposed early.”

Gao Yi said speechlessly: "Then why are you still preparing a gun for me?"

"You are the killer, I am just assisting. You are the terminator of an operation, so it is up to you to decide what weapon to use."

Gao Yi sighed and said, "Then there is no need for weapons. Hmm, will the target's bodyguards have bulletproof vests and wear helmets?"

"They definitely have bulletproof vests. The target's bodyguards are very professional. They will definitely use their bodies to block any attacks on the target, so the bodyguards will wear bulletproof vests and carry bulletproof shields. As for helmets, I'm not sure about that, but the guards in the pickup truck behind should be wearing a full set of special forces equipment, so they must be equipped with heavy bulletproof vests and helmets."

After saying that, Sean thought for a moment and said, "Let me add that their light weapons must be the best in the world, and their protective gear must also be the best."

Gao Yi was certain that Suleimant was harder to kill than Gray Horace, and even after killing him, it would be even harder to escape.

Don't think too much about it. Just think about what to do if you get the chance. Since bulletproof vests are standard, you still need a weapon that suits you.

"Get me a hammer."

When dealing with bulletproof vests and helmets, a hammer specially designed for breaking armor is more effective. It’s not that Gao Yi likes to use a hammer, but that he has no other choice.

Sean was a little stunned. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Hammer? What hammer?"

"Any hammer, but not too big, and not too long..."

Gao Yi raised his arm and gestured, saying, "Don't make it longer than my forearm. The smaller the hammer head, the better. If it's too big, it's hard to hide."

Sean looked at Gao Yi in a daze and said, "This is the first time a killer has asked me for a hammer. I really...Okay, I'll go find it right away!"
