Chapter 6: Hermano Del Gunmen
The sound of two deaths clearly alarmed the gunmen of Hermano Del Gunmen in the living room on the first floor. Already on high alert, they immediately drew their weapons toward the direction of the fallen bodies.
"Someone has broken into the apartment, seal off the building, all hands on deck."
"Control room, issue the alert status."
"The intruder is at the staircase on the first floor, might be heading upstairs, everyone be alert."
Loud shouts filled the air, and through the communicator, messages were sent to the control room, which promptly pressed the alarm bell, putting everyone in the apartment on high alert.
A dozen gunmen on the first floor gathered, aiming at the corner near the staircase, slowly advancing forward.
It seemed unlikely that anyone could escape the gunfire of so many gunmen.
However, what they did not know was that the enemy they were facing at this moment was no ordinary person.
Just as they neared the staircase corner, a sudden burst of tiny pebbles shot out like bullets. Caught off guard, the gunmen had no chance to react and were instantly pierced through, blood mist floating in the air accompanied by piercing screams.
A figure then emerged, dressed in a black hoodie, cap, and mask, making it hard to see his face. He walked up to the screaming, still-living gunmen on the ground, bent down to pick up two guns, and coldly pulled the trigger at their foreheads.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After several gunshots, the figure turned without hesitation and walked in a certain direction on the first floor.
There was a long corridor, and at the end of it was a door, clearly a back door, with a few rooms on either side. Passing one room, he raised his gun and fired at the door.
Bang!
The last image given to him was of that man in a black hoodie, black sweatpants, black gloves, and a mask, precisely shooting or easily breaking the necks of the few core gunmen left in the office.
Standing at the doorway, he held the pistol that symbolized death, aimed it at himself, and as the bright gunfire erupted, he too embraced death.
In front of Hermano Del's office, with a cold glance at the lying body of Hermano Del, the corner of his masked mouth curled.
Another bountiful day.
He did not loot the advanced technology but headed to the third-floor control room, quickly killing all the gunmen in a blitzkrieg assault. In the control room, which was using a VCR storage system, typical of gangs who could not utilize more advanced technology reserved for certain governmental agencies, he found the tapes, pulled them out, shut down the system, and then swiftly left.
Bi Xiao knew that his massacre in the Queens area would draw significant attention. Although the heavy rain provided some cover, the continuous gunfire could still potentially attract notice.
He left decisively, the rain washing away any traces and scents that belonged to him.
Ten minutes after Bi Xiao's departure, several police cars arrived at the apartment's doorstep.
Thunder boomed louder in the skies, lightning streaking across the night, adding a surreal touch to the day.
A joint investigation team, including police chiefs and forensic experts, methodically began their work, setting up the crime scene tape and conducting a thorough examination.
From one of the black Chevrolet SUVs, four individuals emerged, led by FBI Agent Coulson.
These FBI agents were patient, waiting for the scene to be surveyed without imposing their authority.
After the first, second, and third floors were thoroughly inspected, Agent Coulson and his team, guided by Chief George, entered the scene. Each person donned shoe covers, gloves, and caps, ensuring they did not leave any additional footprints or hair at the site.
"This is really eerie; I've never seen anything like this," Chief George said, frowning deeply as he followed alongside Agent Coulson.
