19、Chapter 11

　　Anton kept on searching clues on record documents.

　　The partner who treated with New York local bang was a passing-by Asian group, Collins family the biggest bang as go-between, left after the treat. The case lost clues here.

　　“I have gone through the cases and left some points behind.” Remembering Rene had said, Anton turned to the last page without extra effort and heedlessly went through. There written several key words separately:

　　1Linkey’s early away and late back

　　2goods, exit? Or not

　　3Asian Group?

　　4If someone making use of confliction of gangs, purpose?

　　5 New go-betweens?

　　Anton closed the file and threw it away, pondered and pick up the phone.

　　Linkey is a furniture retailer, Asian mixed blood, never involved in a treat , no gang background. A guy who was among the four victims died in that case had came to his furniture shop 4 days before the murder.

　　But Linkey was away for business when the case was on investigation. Until then, he had not absent for almost 2 weeks.

　　“Roger, take a car with no mark, let’s visit Linkey’s.”

　　Roger grinned”Team car was driven away by James, where is your car?”

　　Anton was startled, “My car? In Boston, become scrap now. How about the other one?”

　　Roger curled his lips,” Harvey took away for almost 3 days, you don’t know?”

　　Anton shaked his head,” I don’t know. They have two cars. Is there any car without mark?”

　　“No. They said they indeed needed,Or,” Rene squeezed eyes to Anton, “ You ask that sissy for another car? Oh, by the way, he looked for you at damnit mid-night about 2 or 3 AM.”

　　Anton frowned, looked at the contract list and hesitated to dial the number.

　　After a while, some one picked up the phone.” Rene.”

　　Anton briefly described the situation.

　　“ When to use?” Rene backed his strange and flat tone on meeting.

　　“ After a while, maybe in half a hour.” On hearing Rene’s voice, Anton could not help thinking that he perhaps called from the club last night.

　　“You wait for a second.” The phone was hanged up with a click.

　　“How’s going?” Roger excitedly asked.

　　“He let me wait for a while.” Anton shrugged.

　　Ten minutes later, Rene entered. Anton thought he would bring the key of that car, but in Rene’s hand there’s only a piece of paper.

　　“I am not in charge of cars. But this …Owen.” Rene still mentioned casually and put that paper on Anton’s desk while scratched under that name with fingers.” This Owen, do you have the contact list?”

　　“Yes, I have.”

　　“This one is new. It will be handed to you next meeting. While take it now. I have told him. And he will give you another two in reserve.”

　　Roger from behind on purpose extremely annoyed.” So how would you like us to be there?” He squeezed his eyes.

　　“I am going to the London Street.” Rene looked at his watch without turning back and just calmly stared at Anton,” Do you mind leaving 15 minutes ahead of time? I sent you there.”

　　Linkey’s home was in the middle, a three-floored old building. It got several people in the front door; they had the car turned to the back on.

　　Anton and Roger got down beside the road, and a heavy iron gate blocked eyes in front.

　　Anton checked the safety lock with security; Sway the iron door, it seemed so firm unless they pounded the alarm crash till it was cut off.

　　Roger read his thought, and remembered that Linkey got on well with neighbors and worried they may hear the alarm.

　　Both of them looked up, only a window half-opened on the third floor. But look around there was nothing could be lean on to climb up. Anton and Roger had to look at that window but still powerless.

　　After stopped the car, Rene came up and waved the iron man. Then, he looked at the other two and checked the surrounding.

　　Anton was about to say something. But without his reaction, he felt suddenly a beast leaped up while something jumped high.

　　Anton just heard Rene beside his ears said,” I open the door for you from inside.” Then they saw that one speedily leaped up from the wall. Just a minute, he disappeared from that half-opened window only left Anton and Roger down in shock.

　　The one second explosive force made Anton to stare dumb-founded and deeply astonished. After quite a while, he realized that Rene even got no a run-up.

　　In an instant, the door was opened from the inside. Anton noticed that Rene got on a pair of leather gloves.

　　Rene locked his eyebrows while waving head, showing them it’s not in good condition.” Call the responsible police.” Rene said.

　　Once they entered this room, they smelled eroding odor and without any strength they found the reason behind the kitchen.

　　This result was already in expected without disappointment. On the contrary, the truth proved the precognition. Anton and Roger took ease to be back in Rene’s car.

　　Roger opened widely his eyes while staring at Rene. Till they reached the main road, Anton who sited front at length could not bear to asked, “How did you get on there?”

　　“Roger didn’t tell what did I do before I transfer to Admin?” Roger sneered.

　　“I don’t know.” Roger all of sudden came near from behind with interest.” Where were you?”

　　“The Falcons.”

　　They had a little rest after back. At 4 PM, it was time for closure in Marcel’s case under Harvey’s team. According to assignment, Anton would bring his team as coordination to support.

　　“Harvey, I will be in.” A big group set out while Rene appeared in front of the meeting room.

　　In half an hour later, three teams would take action at the same time. The biggest drug deal was on the initial stage.
