Empire of Shadows
Chapter 813: Showing Off Their Skills
As Elvin's group was halfway there, they felt that something was not quite right. The number of police cars on the road had increased.
They had already abandoned the police car when they were in the suburbs, and were now driving ordinary cars.
State police cars were constantly whizzing by with their sirens blaring. This made Elvin realize that there might have been a problem with Alan's plan.
The convoy stopped in a not-so-conspicuous place, and Elvin began to assign them some work.
At the same time, he had also completely separated the four people.
The younger brother-in-law was in one car, the girl in another, and Matthew's wife with the little boy in another.
The little boy was a little younger. Without a relatively close person, his emotions might have problems.
If it were any other time, it would be fine if there was a problem, but now, if there was a problem, it might cause a huge trouble.
Elvin pulled Matthew's wife aside. "If you can't take care of your son's emotions, he will die, your daughter will also die, your brother will also die, and your husband will also die!"
The woman's body had been trembling all along and had not stopped. She nodded vigorously. "I will take good care of him..." As she spoke, her eyes were full of pleading. "Don't hurt us!"Elvin looked at her, directly into her eyes, for three or four seconds. "The decision is not in my hands, but in your husband's."
"Now, don't think about so many things. To live is the most important thing."
He glanced at the little boy in the distance who was tightly holding his uncle's hand, and his gaze returned to the near front. "Your son is waiting for you. Go."
Soon the woman had returned to the little boy's side. The little boy hugged her and hid behind her. He was terrified.
Then the younger brother-in-law was also called over alone. Elvin's words were roughly the same. "Cooperate with us, and you may not necessarily die."
"If you don't cooperate with us, you are a dead man!"
"You can see that we are all desperadoes. It's not difficult at all to send you to see God before we have bad luck."
"Don't joke with your own life, with your sister's family's lives, and even with the lives of your own family members!"
"I'll tell you the truth. If you cause trouble because of your irrationality, we will find your family."
He did not continue, because it was obvious what they would do, just like what they were doing now.
The younger brother-in-law nodded repeatedly. "I will definitely cooperate with you!"
Finally, Elvin brought the little girl to the front.
It could be seen that the little girl's condition was a little better than her mother's. At least she had regained her composure.
Elvin squatted in front of her and spoke to her as an "equal."
"You are an outstanding girl. Now I need to separate you from your family for a period of time. After we have left Indeno State, you will be reunited."
"Now, be obedient, okay?"
The little girl pursed her lips tightly. She looked back at her mother and younger brother, and also at her uncle. In the end, she nodded and agreed. "I'll do my best."
The four people were divided into three groups, and then they had their respective identities.
Thanks to the federal government for not requiring everyone to have a document that could prove their relationship with others, which greatly reduced the cost and difficulty of "impersonation."
After the convoy had been readjusted, they got back on the road. Not long after, they saw the first roadblock. A large number of fully armed state police were blocking one side of the road, checking the passing vehicles one by one.
Elvin had everyone put their weapons in a place where they could not be seen from the outside, but could be easily reached.
Once something was wrong, they would open fire directly, without hesitation.
Soon it was their turn. This time Elvin was sitting in the back seat. The state police officer bent down slightly and looked at the back from the front car window. It was evening, and the situation in the car was very dark.
This state police officer had a flashlight in his hand. He shone it on the three people in the back seat.
At this time, everyone's heart was beating fast. Matthew's wife looked at this police officer who was so close, and her throat was a little dry.
As long as she shouted, this police officer would know who they were, and there was a high probability that he would save them.
But she couldn't do that, because once she did, her daughter, her younger brother, who were still in the back, would all die.
This group of people were not joking with her. To this day, when she thought of what had happened in the villa, she couldn't help but feel fear.
Elvin's heart was also beating fast, but it didn't show on his face. "Officer, what happened?"
"Did someone break out of prison?"
He researched this with a slightly curious tone, looking like a real curious person.
The police officer put down his flashlight. "This has nothing to do with you... Where are you going?"
"We are going to... city, to my wife's home. The old people at home are sick, and we are very worried."
His hand was already in his coat pocket in the darkness. In just one second, he could kill this guy outside the window and then rush the checkpoint.
However, unless it was a last resort, he would not do so.
The police officer turned on his flashlight again. This time, he did not shine it on Matthew's wife's face and the child's face, but looked at their bodies. "Ma'am, can I see your hands?"
Matthew's wife quickly raised her hands, and then held her child. "Officer, like this?"
The police officer glanced at the young man who was sitting next to Matthew's wife and was looking at him. "Who is this?"
"This is my younger cousin," Matthew's wife took the initiative to answer. She was very cooperative.
The police officer stared at the young man for a while, and then his gaze returned to Elvin.
He felt that these people should not be the suspects, and the lady and the child in the back seat were not being controlled either. They were sitting there freely. These people were not kidnappers!
The police officer glanced at the long queue behind him. He straightened up, tapped the roof of the car, and took a step back. "Be careful on the road at night, sir. You can leave."
Elvin breathed a sigh of relief and took his hand out of his pocket. "Thank you, officer. Good luck!"
A smile appeared on the police officer's face. "Good luck to you too, sir."
Elvin had the driver drive the car through the roadblock. He had not expected it to be so simple.
In fact, this also had to do with the characteristics reported by the city police. Three young men in police uniforms, driving a police car, were all male, and all were young!
Although there was a female in this car, there was only one boy, which did not match the one female and two children in another report. And the female had not lost her freedom. No one was controlling her. She could call for help at any time, but she had not done so. This could only mean that she was not the person they were looking for.
After the car had passed the roadblock for a distance, about two hundred meters, it stopped and pulled over to the side of the road. This was what Elvin and they had agreed on.
Soon, some other vehicles had passed the inspection and had come over.
At this time, the second car had already arrived at the roadblock. This time it was a captain with two subordinates and a girl.
The police officer asked about their relationship again. The one who was driving was the girl's "older brother." They were just going home now.
Because all the characteristics also did not match the report, and the girl also behaved very naturally, in the end, the police officer chose to let them pass.
As for the younger brother-in-law?
He was in his thirties. Although his age matched the age of an adult male in the report, there were men in their thirties all over the street these days.
No female, no children, and it was also this thirty-something adult male who was driving. His answer also did not give the police officer any problems. In the end, they could only let them pass.
After everyone had arrived, Elvin breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't be lucky. There may be more roadblocks ahead. We have to find a way to avoid these routes as much as possible."
"The longer it drags on, the more materials they can get."
This era already had a fax machine. When the photos of Matthew's wife and children began to be sent to the roadblocks by fax, this set of tricks of theirs would be of no use.
At the same time, Alan, who was fleeing out of the city, suddenly had the driver stop the car. The city was full of sirens.
He looked at the two subordinates in front of him and lit a cigarette. "Are you afraid of death?"
"Brother?"
The two of them, one looking at him through the rearview mirror, and one turning to look at him, both shook their heads and said, "I'm not."
Alan nodded. He glanced at the little fellow who had already died. "Go back to the city, drive to the west. We'll leave the city from the west."
The two young men did not hesitate and directly turned the car around and drove towards the city.
It's unknown if it was an illusion, but in the dark of the night, the entire sky above the city seemed to have been polluted by the light from the red and blue police lights, constantly flashing red and blue. The entire city seemed to have sounded its alarm!
Although the two of them, including Alan, all said they were not afraid of death, they were actually still very nervous.
Alan had been smoking in silence. The two in front also did not say a word. The atmosphere in the car was extremely oppressive!
At this time, a few police cars with their sirens blaring were driving towards them from a distance. Alan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He instructed, "Don't be afraid. Stay calm. They wouldn't have thought of it!"
"Don't speed up, and don't slow down. Just drive normally!"
It's unknown if God had taken special care of him, or if his brain was really that good. The police cars didn't even pay attention to this police car that was driving into the city and just sped past them.
After the police convoy had gone far away, the three of them couldn't help but laugh. This gave them greater courage and also strengthened their idea.
Instead of going east and being surrounded and intercepted, it was better to just return to the city and then go west. Anyway, the entire city was full of police cars now. Who could have guessed that they had not only turned back, but were also planning to go directly through the city?
Police cars were constantly passing by them. This time, Alan's plan seemed to have been favored by God.
There had also been a few slightly thrilling situations on the road. A police car had stopped them and had asked them if they had found anything.
But overall, they had passed through the entire city without any accidents. No one could have thought that these people who had already gone east had fucking turned back.
