Chapter 330: Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots
In the past seven or eight days, there has been no sound from Eri's side. He thought he had encountered some kind of problem. Now it seems that it was a covert preparation.
He watched the news carefully and saw that the final news said that the Norwich father and son would be charged with murder, organized crime, fraud, extortion and other crimes. More than 20 members of the Norwich group were also arrested. If this is what Ari did, it would be so beautiful.
Arry has already turned his face with Norwich, and Arry represents him. In the face of a gangster, if he has no scruples, it is self-deception. In fact, that is one of the reasons why he left Las Vegas. He was just worried that after Ari launched an offensive against Norwich, the other party would directly find him.
But even if he saw the news, he didn't call Ari right away. He knew that if things were done, Ari would definitely call and report.
Sure enough, in the evening, Ari called him.
He saw that it was Ari's number, and said to Jessica, who was watching cartoons with Hannah, and stood up to answer the phone, saying, "It's me!"
"Boss. Did you watch the news?"
Link walked into the elevator and said, "See." Has anything changed now?"
"Yes, the older ones are still in custody, and the younger ones are released on bail. ”
"What's going on? Is there not enough evidence?"
"Rosen has the inside story. Say there's politics involved. The old one's condition was for the little one to be released on bail. Ari explained. "Rosen has been a great help to be able to act so quickly this time. ”
Link stepped out of the elevator and didn't ask Lawson what he had helped with. Ari didn't say it, perhaps because he was worried that the phone would be tapped, and saying too much would cause trouble for Rosen. He asked, "So, those noodle shops still can't open?"
"It should be able to open tomorrow. Ari said. "We received word that the little one was planning to abscond to Mexico overnight. He had an uncle over there. It's a big shot!"
Link pondered for a moment, then walked into the study and said, "You don't plan to send this information to the police department?"
"Boss, that's part of their deal with the old one. ”
Link understood, it was old Norwich who knew he couldn't escape this time. And the evidence of his son's crime is also very sufficient, and letting Norwich Jr. leave the United States may be a condition he made with some politicians, or it is his protective umbrella.
He closed the door to his study and asked, "Well, he'll flee to Mexico." ”
"Maybe someone is reluctant to let him escape. Ari hinted. "You know, he's offended a lot of people in Houston as well. Some even wanted him dead. Maybe they're looking for him too. ”
Link was silent for a moment and said, "I think they should know he's there." He emphatically said "yes."
Ari smiled and said, "Yes, boss. I also think they should know. I think they will know for sure. ”
Link smiled and said, "Also, have you chosen the right people to go to California and Oregon?"
"Everybody's been busy lately. So I haven't been able to pick the right person. The task assigned by the boss was not completed, but Ari did not feel guilty at all. He believed Link could understand.
Link certainly understands. Being able to bring down a gang that had been entrenched in Houston for many years in less than ten days, Eri didn't know how much they had done. It's normal to have no time for anything else.
"If you have time, choose the right people as soon as possible, especially in California. ”
"I will, boss!"
"Let's stop here. He hung up the phone.
He thought about it with his phone, and dismissed the idea of calling Martha right away. The situation in Houston hasn't been implemented yet, and the noodle shops are safer for a day out.
He remembered what he had just said to Ari. He found that now he hinted that killing a person would not have any psychological burden.
The thought in his heart was that Norwich had to die. Maybe he wouldn't have had such an idea until he came back from Las Vegas. But now he doesn't allow any potential safety hazards for his family's lives.
Norwich has an uncle in Mexico. Ari also said that he was a big man. Regardless of whether it is black or white, after Norwich goes to Mexico, it is possible that he will go from his current lone wolf state to a head wolf with a pack of vicious wolves.
He couldn't think of Norwich as a fool, and he wouldn't have suspected that it was Ari. If the other party has strength, he will definitely think about him and retaliate against him. The means of revenge on the underworld, he didn't dare to think too civilized.
So, Norwich must die. But he didn't want to risk jail time for himself and his men because of a person like Norwich.
Borrowing a knife to kill people is a good plan!
Also, just now Arry mentioned Lawson twice. It also made him realize that Rosen's energy seemed to be much greater than he had imagined.
He thought for a while, then dialed Ari's phone again: "Ari, I think we need Lawson. Are you sure you can convince him to be a consultant for a security company?"
Ari hesitated for a moment and said, "I can try." But you know, he's decided to leave Texas before Christmas. ”
"We don't need him to come to work, and we don't force him to stay in Texas. We just need him to play his part when the company needs it. ”
"If that's the case, I'm confident I'll convince him. But boss, what kind of conditions can you give?"
"$300,000 a year. If he has other conditions, I can also consider it. ”
"I'll talk to him tomorrow. ”
Link said, "There's news calling me. ”
Ari is still in the company waiting for news. It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that he received a message with a few sentences on it, as if it were a text message from an ordinary friend. He replied with two words: "Roger." ”
Then he took out a mobile phone that he had bought with a fake identity, dialed a number, and when the other party was connected, he immediately said in a hoarse voice: "Norwich will leave Houston today and go to The Macallan." The license plate number is ......"
After he finished speaking, he ignored the other party's questioning, hung up the phone directly, and then turned off the phone. Finally, the phone's calling card was removed.
Police officers are not usually very strict about vehicles traveling from within the United States to the U.S.-Mexico border. Strict decompression is usually done in the opposite direction, and in areas close to the U.S.-Mexico border. Because a large number of contraband will be transported from the Mexican border to the United States, such as drugs. And, of course, stowaways.
At three a.m., a medium-sized truck drove along Route 77 toward the U.S.-Mexico border at near the maximum speed limit. It looked like a normal cargo truck. The carriage was also filled with filled paint. Even though there are openings in the front of the cabin and in the roof for air to flow, the smell in the cabin is still very strong. In the middle of the carriage, there are two baffles separating a space about a yard wide, and a person sits inside.
That's Norwich, who fled from Houston.
The smell in the carriage was very bad. However, this is a great benefit for coping with the examination. If you encounter a police officer with a police dog on the road, you will not be able to smell anything unusual in the car. Of course, when he gets to the border, he will quietly get out of the car.
X-rays are transmitted at border checkpoints. Although cars transiting Mexico from the U.S. don't usually use that kind of technology. But he didn't want anything to go wrong.
He was picked up at the Mexican border. He could easily cross the Rio Grande into Mexican territory. There's no need to take that risk.
The license plate of this car is not even a Texas car. So even if someone finds out that he has left, the car will not be the focus of the police's suspicions. So when the truck left the Houston area, he was completely relieved, but the resentment in his heart could not be suppressed.
This time his organization was wiped out, and he couldn't figure out who did it. But he will retaliate against the suspects one by one, letting them know what kind of fear comes from hurting him.
He'd been wondering who had manipulated it all for the past two days. It occurred to him that it might be the government's unfamiliar politicians who wanted to get rid of them, and only they could easily do that.
And the second suspect is Link. It stands to reason that he shouldn't list Link, who is far away from Texas, as the number two suspect. But Link is a super-rich man, and Link's men had warned him in a strong tone not so long ago. And there are also hints that it was Link's hand.
He decided that Link was suspicious. As for whether it is true or not, the number one suspect and the number two suspect, he will not let it go. As for whether he wronged someone, he is not a court. There is no need for conclusive proof.
To force him out of the United States is tantamount to ruining everything for him. He could have taken over the entire organization after his father's retirement and became the underground boss who controlled Houston's East Side. And now, the backbone of the organization loyal to his father and son has been wiped out, and his father is very likely to be sentenced to decades in prison because of the conclusive evidence.
He also faces fifteen counts of first-degree murder. If convicted, he could even spend 120 years in prison. Other members of the group who were arrested also faced 10 to 20 years in prison.
It can be said that even if he can stay in the United States, everything about him has been ruined. He absolutely couldn't let go of this hatred. He vows that once he arrives in Mexico, his first goal is to raise his power enough to come to the United States for revenge.
There were two drivers in the truck who were passing through Houston from Louisana. They let Norwich into their car and planned to take him to the border. But they didn't even know the identity of the person behind the carriage.
But they've done it more than once. So they weren't nervous about having an unidentified person behind the car.
There were two people in the car, one of them was sleeping in the driver's seat, and the other didn't even notice that their car had just passed a country road, and a long trailer drove out at the intersection, and then one was making a U-turn like an inexperienced driver. Directly stopped the entire highway. And the one who was parked on the side of the road just now followed them.
About ten minutes later, a long trailer suddenly burst out on another country road. The driver was still alert and immediately stepped on the brakes. But almost at the same time, there was a loud bang on the whole car, and the back of his car seemed to be hit. And after the car behind hit his car, there was no intention of stopping. His car was pushed and crashed into the bed of a long truck.
He saw several men wearing black hoods coming down from the truck, their pistols pointed at him. That's when he felt something was wrong......
Texas Morning News reported on a rear-end crash on Route 77 in which a truck full of paint caught fire, killing three people, one of whom was inside the compartment. The deceased was burned beyond recognition and could not be identified for the time being......
