Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 186 Nimble or Dead

Luke kept a one euro coin and a fifty cent coin for himself, and decided to use the rest of the coins like his small balls to hit criminals with

Suddenly, he heard a drawn out scream.

Slowing the car down, Luke craned his head and looked up, only to see a man scream as he fell from the tenth floor of a building.

Luke was rather amused. Was this what people meant by “be nimble or be dead”?

However, the gun that the guy was holding suggested that he wasn’t an ordinary person.

Luke wasn’t interested in exposing himself by rescuing the falling gunman.

Bang! Whooosh!

The man crashed onto a car that was parked next to the building, leaving a huge dent in it.

Luke saw blood pour out of the man’s mouth and nose. He shook his head and got out, then raised his head.

He noticed a man swinging on a long rope from the tenth floor to the rooftop of the neighboring building like Spider-Man before leaping down agilely.

Luke remarked with a smile, “Interesting! He’s both gutsy and skilled!”

From the man’s posture as he swung and leapt around, Luke could tell that he had astonishing athletic ability.

Faint cries rang out from the first building. Several people then burst out and jumped over to the neighboring building as well.

Luke was rather amused. “This truly is an amazing place.”

He got back into his car and followed them.

But three hundred meters later, he stopped.

The young man who was being chased had disappeared in a gap between two buildings, behind which was a jumble of bungalows.

As an outsider, Luke couldn’t even find a road to enter the area.

I’ll just consider it a free action movie! Luke thought as he drove off.

Daniel had mentioned several gangs, and Luke was here to find out which of them would be the most profitable for him.

After around half an hour, Luke stopped the car in front of a supermarket.

He bought two bottles of soda water from a vending machine.

Suddenly, Luke heard the sound of engines.

Luke turned around, only to see two cars screech to a stop behind his car.

Bang!

One of the cars even crashed into Luke’s car with its reinforced bumper and pushed it forward around two meters.

Luke raised his eyebrow. Well, well, well, aren’t you aggressive?

Six men got out and charged into the supermarket, leaving the drivers behind in the cars.

One of the drivers noticed Luke and brandished his gun. “Boy, you want to be

shot?”

Luke immediately lowered his head and pretended to tremble with fear.

The people around him didn’t show any surprise. Clearly, they were used to this.

Lingering ten meters away, Luke wasn’t scared, even though two of the six people who had gotten out were carrying guns.

Several minutes later, a brawny man who was obviously their leader hauled out a girl, who struggled in his grip.

an wa

The man was almost 1.9 meters tall, and the girl was 1.65 meters tall at best. She couldn’t look any more pitiful.

But her temper was bigger than her build. She cursed loudly, disobedience written all over her face.

She had long, black hair and round, chubby cheeks, though her jaw was sharp.

“Assh*les, what are you doing?” she yelled.

The brawny man looked at her as if she were a lamb about to be slaughtered. “Boss wants to see you.”

“Idiot, my boss never shows up in the afternoon!” the girl yelled again.

The brawny man chuckled. “I’m talking about my boss, Taha. I’m sure you’ve heard his name before, haven’t you?”

Yes, I have!

Luke’s lip curled. The name was still fresh in his mind!

Taha was one of the famous big bosses that Daniel had mentioned several times. He specialized in drugs and dealing weed. His shipments were always among the top three in the area in terms of volume.

Watching them grab the girl and take her away, Luke got into his car and slowly followed them.

Twenty minutes later, Luke stopped a block away.

He clicked his tongue at the buildings up ahead, feeling a little shocked.

A hundred meters up front was a high wall which surrounded several buildings, and Luke could only see one entrance along it.

Several men stood on the street like guards. They stopped and checked every car that wanted to enter the block, and even interrogated the driver, before they moved the spike strips on the ground away.

Luke also noticed people holding rifles in the houses behind the guards. That was serious firepower.

And that wasn’t the end of it.

Luke saw guards patrolling on top of the high wall. They were obviously armed with pistols, rifles – the whole kaboodle.

Was this place some kind of military fortress?

But those guards were clearly lazy and sloppy. Luke didn’t think that this place was a military camp.

It was an individually constructed fortress, but it was truly impressive.

Luke parked the car in an alley not far away. It was already four in the afternoon, and night would fall soon.

He entered an adjacent building and went upstairs.

Reaching the rooftop, he surveyed the environment.

As he was observing the ringed fortress, he saw someone nimbly climb the wall into the place.

A guard who walked past the area stopped and looked back, but then shook his head and went on his way, with no idea that a stranger had just snuck in right under his nose.

Luke was amused. That was the consequence of a lack of professionalism.

If they had arranged for better sentry guards and surveillance cameras, it would be near impossible for someone to sneak in without reinforcements or equipment.

Luke was cautious by nature, and would do reconnaissance first. If he were as bold as that stranger, however, he could enter the fortress easily enough, too.

After ten minutes of observation, Luke shook his head.

This street fortress wasn’t as intimidating as it looked.

With his fake phone, Luke detected few surveillance cameras in the area, and some important locations that should have been covered had nothing at all.

The patrol guards weren’t doing their jobs properly either. They were more like deterrents for show rather than an actual defense line against intruders.

The sky had gotten even darker while Luke was doing his reconnaissance.

Without any further delay, Luke went downstairs and climbed into the street fortress through a flaw in their defense that he had just discovered.
