They absolutely will not dispatch police officers if they receive an emergency call from this area at night.
That night, in the attic of a three-story building in the Konti slum.
Lee Eun-sook, a first-year student from South Korea, wearing a black long-sleeved combat uniform, leaned on the windowsill of the attic, staring at a house not far away with an infrared telescope that could see at night.
"Number one, report. The target is still inside the house, seems to be watching a football match."
"Second position, report: everything is normal," Li Enshu reported into her headset.
"Continue monitoring. It's almost 11 p.m. According to the pattern, he should be launching his 'hunt' soon." The voice of female commander Susie came through the communication channel.
“With Gu Ran oppa around, it’s not certain who will hunt whom!” Lee Eun-sook said after turning off the communication.
Although it was already late October, Bangkok was still very hot, with temperatures reaching 29 degrees Celsius after nightfall.
There was no air conditioning in the attic, and Lee Eun-sook, who was wearing long sleeves, had fine beads of sweat on her neck and temples, and the back of her combat uniform was also soaked.
"It's so hot... why aren't you wearing short sleeves?" Qi Lan, who was also a freshman, asked.
Qi Lan was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and she felt fine even without air conditioning.
"I'm not as thick-skinned as you; the mosquitoes here are venomous!" Lee Eun-sook wiped the sweat from her forehead and suddenly complained, "I want to be with Gu Ran oppa, but he won't take me with him!"
Qi Lan took a bottle of iced cola from the portable refrigerator beside her and handed it to Li Enshu:
"Gu Ran and Senior Su Xi are in charge of the decapitation mission tonight, which is a great responsibility. We are just here to observe."
According to the tradition of Kassel College, freshmen must participate in an executive department mission during their first year as an internship.
By letting freshmen witness the battlefield against dragons or Deadpools firsthand, the Executive Department also takes the opportunity to assess the freshmen's psychological qualities, which can also be considered as their internship performance.
Li Enshu and Qi Lan are members of Gu Ran's group and are in the observation position.
"One of the observers reports: the target has turned off the TV and started changing his shoes; it looks like he's about to go out," another observer reported.
Lee Eun-sook stared through the binoculars at a tall Siamese man emerging from the shack.
"Second position, report: The target is heading out, as usual, towards the docks, and is carrying a weapon such as a meat cleaver." Lee Eun-sook finished reporting the situation.
"Gu Ran, I've set off as planned," Susie said.
Gu Ran said, "Okay, I'll protect you from the shadows. Remember, this man is a murderer. Subdue him immediately. The orders from the Execution Department are that he can be killed or killed at any time."
“I know,” Susie replied.
Listening to the conversation on the phone, Lee Eun-sook felt a surge of excitement. She put down her binoculars and prepared to go downstairs.
"Hey, where are you going?" Qi Lan asked, looking at her.
"Let's follow them!" Lee Eun-sook said happily. "The target has left, so this surveillance position is useless. If we follow them, we can still see Gu Ran oppa's heroic figure when he takes action!"
Qi Lan wanted to say something more, but Li Enshu had already gone downstairs.
He was worried that something might happen to the little girl, so he quickly followed her.
"Don't follow too closely. If we get exposed and it affects Senior Susie's plan, then the mission will fail." At the corner of the alley, Qi Lan pulled Li Enshu's arm, preventing her from following too closely.
Lee Eun-sook glared at Ki-lan in the darkness and whispered:
"'Crocodile' is just a Class D dangerous murderer, what's there to be afraid of? I actually think it would be better to just let Gu Ran oppa charge in and kill him with one sword. Why did Senior Su Xi have to lure him in?"
"Crocodile" is the target's code name; he is tall and has a fierce appearance.
"Because 'Crocodile' is the new boss of this area and has a lot of prestige here, and the shantytown has a complicated terrain with many roads leading in all directions and few surveillance cameras, Susie was afraid that if the first strike failed, the murderer would go into hiding and use ordinary people to fight against us, increasing the difficulty of the mission, so she lured the snake out of its hole... By the way, didn't you listen to the background introduction of the target in the meeting?" Qi Lan asked.
"Crocodile" is a killer who specifically hunts drunk women. He would find intoxicated women at night, take them to secluded places, and then torture and kill them in extremely cruel ways.
It seems that due to certain experiences, 'Crocodile' has a deep hatred for drunk women.
According to the investigation by the Siam Enforcement Division, there are already eight verifiable cases of murder on his behalf.
If it can't be found, then I don't know.
Chapter 140 The First Time?
"...I only listened to the mission execution plan. Who cares about the murderer's background? Just execute him!" Lee Eun-sook said, pursing her lips.
However, she didn't follow too closely, lest she disrupt the operation and get scolded by Gu Ran oppa.
In fact, they had figured out the crocodile's movements over the past few days, so it didn't matter if they stayed a little further away.
During this period, the 'crocodile' would hunt near the dock, and the bodies of several victims were also found near the dock.
After listening to Li Enshu's words, Qilan thought to herself that she was from a high caste in India. Although she didn't care about the lives of people from the lower castes, she was still taught from childhood to respect human rights and life.
Especially in recent years, influenced by the abolitionist ideology of the West, India has rarely carried out death sentences.
But this young girl from South Korea seemed to have no fear of life and would indiscriminately sentence criminals to death.
He stared at the back of the girl's head and asked in a low voice, "By the way, what does your family do? Don't you value human life at all?"
Lee Eun-sook said softly, "My parents are both doctors, dedicated to saving lives."
Qi Lan thought to herself, "Then how can you be so cold and ruthless at such a young age? You should know that she is only two months away from turning eighteen."
Lee Eun-sook glanced out from behind the alley, leaned against the wall, and looked at Ki-ran, saying, "But my parents are both dead."
Qi Lan shut up and didn't ask any more questions, simply saying softly, "I'm sorry."
"What's it to you? You didn't kill my parents." Lee Eun-sook crouched down as she moved, and when she saw the target suddenly head towards the main road, she immediately reported, "The situation has changed. The target didn't head towards the dock as usual, but went to the highway instead."
"Li Enshu, Qi Lan, have you left the original monitoring location?" Gu Ran asked over the communication line.
Qi Lan, being a good man, volunteered to take the blame: "Yes, I was afraid that 'crocodile' might not act according to common sense, so I followed it on my own." Li Enshu cutely stuck out her tongue at him.
"You did well this time, but next time, you need to report before leaving the designated location, otherwise no one will know your location if something happens," Gu Ran instructed.
Lee Eun-sook was surprised to be praised for abandoning her post, and quickly sought credit and praise: "Oppa, I was the one who went first! Did I do a good job?"
“Abandoning your post without authorization, go back and write a self-criticism,” Gu Ran said coldly.
Laughter seemed to come from the other person on the other end of the communication line.
Li Enshu dared not speak out in anger, so she glared at Qi Lan again.
Qi Lan remained expressionless, suppressing a laugh, thinking to herself, "What does this have to do with me? I wasn't the one laughing out loud!"
"I've revised the location. It's now under the bridge by the highway. Where is the target's current location?" Susie asked, slightly out of breath, over the communication channel.
She ran over.
Just as Li Enshu was about to report, Gu Ran spoke up: "We are leaving the shed area. The target is expected to see you in fifteen seconds."
"Roger that!"
After Susie finished replying, she immediately opened the glass of beer in her hand, poured half of it on herself, and then held the other half in her hand.
She wore tight jeans and a low-cut T-shirt, which showed off her fit figure. Combined with her beautiful face, she looked very alluring.
She sat alone on a stone bench by the roadside, as if she had just broken up with her boyfriend.
If she were to appear at a bar now, a bunch of men would definitely try to chat her up.
But there was no one under the bridge, only a few giant lizards perched on the bank of the stinking ditch.
And, a 'crocodile'.
'Crocodile' was wearing a red vest and black shorts, with one hand behind his back, concealing a knife.
He spotted Susie not far away.
“East Asians?” 'Crocodile' sneered. He had a particular fondness for torturing and killing East Asians.
Because the drunken woman who once slapped herself was also East Asian.
That was also the first person he killed.
As 'Crocodile' slowly approached Susie, he felt the blood in his body begin to stir, and his heartbeat quickened as well.
As it got closer, the crocodile saw Susie's face and thought to itself that tonight's prey was not bad looking.
Susie saw 'Crocodile' approaching, smiled at him, then raised her bottle to him, inviting him to drink with her.
The crocodile's gaze was now taking in the East Asian woman's waist, which was slender and long, and her breasts were full, as if she could play with them tonight.
He walked up to Susie and tried to touch her face with his left hand.
But the next second, Susie smashed the beer bottle in her hand directly at the 'crocodile's' head!
Taking advantage of the moment when glass shards were flying everywhere, Susie pulled out a military dagger from her back and plunged it into the target's thigh, then kicked him in the abdomen.
In an instant, the roles of hunter and predator were reversed!
"Ah!" Crocodile cried out in pain, never expecting that this East Asian woman had come to hunt him down.
But 'Crocodile' reacted quickly; he withstood Susie's military dagger and took another kick.
After Susie kicked him, she couldn't pull her foot back because 'Crocodile' grabbed her ankle with his left hand.
Hold on tight and won't let go!
"Oh no, I was careless!" Susie thought with a start.
At the same time, 'Crocodile' also drew his knife and slashed at Susie's leg, which she couldn't pull back.
Susie regretted it then; she shouldn't have hesitated with the first dagger strike, she should have stabbed it directly in the neck!
Just as the knife was about to strike, a shuriken flew from afar and pierced through the crocodile's hand holding the knife.
"Wow!"
The crocodile, in pain, immediately let go, and the knife fell to the ground.
Susie knew that Gu Ran had made the move, so she took the opportunity to pierce 'Crocodile's' left hand with her military dagger, making him release her.
The moment 'Crocodile' released Susie, Gu Ran had already rushed in front of him.
Cherry blossoms, let's go!
The punch, imbued with chakra, struck the crocodile's heart directly. The crocodile's massive 1.9-meter body was sent flying more than ten meters away until its back slammed into a roadside tree before it came to a stop.
That roadside tree, as thick as an adult's thigh, was actually smashed and snapped in half!
Gu Ran clapped his hands and looked at Su Qian, whose clothes were soaked with beer. Her chest area was wet and her clothes clung to her body.
He shifted his gaze slightly and asked, "Why were you so hesitant at the beginning? The first attack should have neutralized the target's ability to resist!"
