Recently, there have been frequent murders in Russia, and the shadow of professional killers is flickering frequently. Many of them are in the service of the professional killer group to which they belong. Historically, there have been similar killer groups, including the ninja groups we are familiar with.

American Murder Ltd.:

The outright "corporatization" and "Murder Inc." was a formidable professional killer group active in the United States in the thirties and forties of the last century. It was born in the Brooklyn area southwest of New York City.

The "employee" benefits package is excellent

At that time, the famous American crime syndicate "Crime Syndicate" established "Murder Inc. in order to eradicate dissidents". Soon, with the addition of Abi Riley, the group grew into a sizable group of professional killers.

Abbie Riley was short and stout, ruthless, and murderous, and was known as "Doll Tvest" in the "circle" (Tbest was another famous killer in the United States at the time). In his early years, he followed the Shapiro brothers into the underworld, and became famous on the road for killing two black men, but was immediately imprisoned. After being released from prison, Abi Riley made a fortune running a slot machine gambling business, but was targeted by his old bosses, the Shapiro brothers, who wanted to kill him and swallow his property. As a result, the Shapiro brothers sent hitmen to hunt down Abi Riley, who escaped, but Riley's girlfriend was caught by the killer and dragged to an open field and raped.

In revenge for his girlfriend's insults, Riley finds the newly established "Murder Corporation" and takes revenge with his help: three Shapiro brothers, one of whom was beaten to death by Riley on the street, one of whom had his head crushed with a gun, and the other buried alive by Riley.

Since then, Riley has become the head of Murder Inc. Under his leadership, the "Murder Limited" gradually grew. At that time, there were many gangs in the United States, and if there were no "capable people" under his command when fighting for territory, it was a good choice to pay someone to kill the opponent, so the business of professional killers was particularly prosperous. According to the price code at the time, the "employees" of the "Murder Company" would be paid between $1,000 and $5,000 for each person killed, and their families would receive an additional sum of money as a "settling-in allowance."

In order to prevent the "employees" from being lost to prisons or even electric chairs, the "Murder Co., Ltd." was very cautious when arranging for "employees" to commit crimes. If the target lives in City A, the company will send a killer who has never been to City A to carry out the mission, because the police like to run through the local underworld when investigating murders. In this way, the vast majority of the murders committed by "Murder Ltd" go unsolved.

Of course, if the killer is unfortunately caught by the police, the "company" side will provide the best lawyers to help them fight the lawsuit.

The three "star killers" support the market

"Murder Limited" has cultivated a large number of recognized "star killers" in the industry in just a few decades:

1, "Racing Man" Abandano - running speed is amazing, once used a pistol to chase a target running around the house to escape for his life, and finally caught up with a shot and killed the other party. He killed more than 30 people in his lifetime and was paid handsomely. In his spare time, he used money earned from murder to seduce women, buy beautiful clothes and expensive cars.

2. "Joyful" Maioni - This person may be a person with facial paralysis, because he never smiles, and his face is always sad. Together with Abbie Riley, he sent the Shapiro brothers to the West, and since then they have become Riley's top generals, committing numerous bloody crimes. When the New York District Attorney begins an investigation into his crimes, McOnny is determined to carry out a massive serial murder that would send all the potential witnesses who might put him in the electric chair to the west of the day. Among them, the news that the loan shark merchant George Rudick was brutally murdered by him became one of the most sensational news in the United States at that time.

3. Harry Strauss - killed more than 30 people. His methods of killing are often ingenious: shooting, icicles, drowning, burying alive, strangulation, and the deaths of those he kills are varied. Once, when Strauss went to the theater on a "mission", he forgot to bring a weapon, and only then picked up an axe from the wall and slashed at his target.

The existence of this killer group caused a serious problem for American society at that time. In the '40s, the U.S. government began to take Murder Inc. seriously, and Abi Riley was arrested by the District Attorney. After being assured of immunity from prosecution, Abi Riley confessed to many of the key members of the Murder Corporation. Abandano, Maioni and Strauss were arrested and sent to electric chairs, and the entire "Murder Company" was destroyed. The "Crime Syndicate", the "superior unit" of the "Murder Company", was so annoyed that he offered a $100,000 reward for Abi Riley's head.

On November 12, 1941, Abi Riley fell out of the window of the hotel room where he was staying, fell to the ground and died instantly. There were a lot of police officers who were responsible for keeping him safe at the time. The official explanation is that Abi Riley died in an "accident", but judging from the parabola when he fell, it is clear that he was pushed down the window.

Abi Riley is dead, but the fall of Murder Inc. is irreversible. In 1957, Anastasia, the last important member of the "Murder Company", was killed by the Gambino crime family, and this professional killer group officially retired from the stage of history.

Ninja Family:

After the Meiji Restoration, the word "killer" gradually disappeared, and Japanese ninjas immediately appeared in the minds of many readers. What were the real ninjas like in history?

Tools of the warlords

It's hard to say exactly when ninjas originated. Around the 15th century, Japan began to fall into a state of warlordism during the Keihito Rebellion. Warlords on all sides are fighting each other, and there is a need for someone to spy on the enemy, assassinate the enemy's top generals, and conduct various special operations. The samurai under the warlord's command refused to do such faceless dirty work, so the time for the ninja to show his skills had come.

Ninjas have been part of a family of ninjas since they were born, and have been brutally trained from an early age in order to excel in balance, agility, strength, durability, and special skills. When they grew up, they began to serve the ninja organizations to which they belonged. The ninja organization is hierarchical, with the highest status ninja called "Kamishinobi", commanding a faction or acting as a hegemon. There are many "middle ninjas" under him, and each middle ninja manages a small group of thirty or forty "lower ninjas". The middle ninja is responsible for conveying the orders of the upper ninja, reporting the situation of the lower ninja to the upper ninja, and playing the role of a bridge. The "Shimoshinobi" is the lowest level of the ninja and specializes in carrying out tasks.

Legendary ninjas build independent kingdoms

During the Shogunate period, there were many staggering incidents committed by ninjas, and the destruction of the Kumanoji secret book, which was widely circulated among the people, gave a glimpse of it.

The presiding officer of Kumanoji has a book of martial arts secrets from China, and he never shows it to anyone. A samurai named Morino Mori tried everything to get it. The ninja Horikawa was ordered to act, and he inquired about the secret book stored in a small building inside the temple, which was heavily guarded and could not be entered. So he spent seven months digging a tunnel under the small building, only to find that the house was built on a large rock and could not be dug through. But the presiding officer of Kumanoji Temple had already discovered that someone was digging a tunnel to steal the cheats, so he sent someone to suddenly set fire to the tunnel entrance and burned Horikawa alive. Ueno sent another ninja Hachiro to steal the cheats. Hachiro was young and beautiful, and he was good at singing and dancing, and was recruited into the temple as a waiter, and the unscrupulous monks dressed him up as the object of homosexual desire. Hachiro finally aroused the interest of the host of Kumanoji, and the two hooked up, and Hachiro cleverly used the jealousy of the deputy host to find out that the host was hiding in the secret room in the middle of the night and reading the cheats in a very dim light. One night, when the host was reading the cheats in the dark light of the secret room, Hachiro sneaked into the secret room like a cat, strangled the host, put the cheats into the cylinder, and immediately flew back to his life.

Impatient, Ueno Mori snatched the cheats from Hachiro's hands, walked into the room by himself, took the cheats out of the metal tube, and spread them out on the small sunny table to read. Unexpectedly, before he could finish reading the first paragraph, the text of the entire cheats began to fade. He didn't notice that the first paragraph of the book said that the book was written in a special ink that disappeared at the sight of light. This paragraph warns the owner of the cheats not to let the cheats see the light, otherwise the text will all disappear invisibly. A cheatbook was ruined like this.

Because this story is so legendary, its truth is still debated. But there are indeed famous ninjas in history, such as Hattori Hanzo and Hyakji Tanba. Among them, Baidi Tanbo is even more arrogant. During the Warring States period, the Iga region where Hyakuji Tanba was located was a place where ninja forces were very active, and the Hyakuji Tanba family formed a local village to protect themselves, cut off their dominance, and argued with the great warlord Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga's 60,000 troops came to conquer and almost killed Hyakuchi Tanba's men.

After the Meiji Restoration, ninjutsu gradually disappeared. Most of the ninja descendants changed careers and integrated into the lives of ordinary people. Now let's not talk about foreigners, even the Japanese themselves are very curious about ninjas.

Murai Group:

The ferocious Islamic Assassination Corps

The Murayi is an extremist sect of Islam that originated in Persia and is a very famous assassination group in world history.

Active in the Middle East between the 8th and 13th centuries AD, Murayi was known for his frequent political murders, which were naturally targeted by some of the most prominent local politicians. When they choose an assassination target, they will try to take advantage of the fact that the person is asleep to place a special poisoned dagger made by Murai next to his pillow.

When this man woke up and found that such a dagger appeared next to his pillow, he should have known that if he wanted to avoid assassination, he had to meet the conditions of the Murayi group. Otherwise, he could be killed wherever he went. The killers of the Murayi Gang will use a variety of methods to achieve their goals: daggers, poisons, and they will also infiltrate the mansions of their murder targets to serve as employees, and look for an opportunity to attack them, and try not to harm the innocent.

The Murayi Group has raised a large number of killers who do not want to die. Whenever a mission is to be issued, all the killers are scrambling to carry it out. When the leader of the Murayi group, the "Old Man of the Mountain", announced the list of those who would carry out the mission, all those who were not selected looked at the dying companion with great envy.

It turned out that the old nest of the Murayi group was located on the top of a high mountain, known as the "eagle's nest", and a beautiful garden was established in the valley, and there were palaces decorated with countless gold, silver and jewelry, and there were pipes flowing with wine, honey and milk everywhere, and beautiful and bewitching girls who could sing and dance. The "old man in the mountain" also raised a group of young children on the mountain, and taught them from an early age that if they could die for the leader, they could go to heaven after death. When these children grew up, the "old man of the mountain" put ** in their drinks and sent them into the "wonderful valley" while they were in a trance. When those people woke up, they thought they had arrived in heaven in the Koran, and they were ecstatic, drinking the juice and doing nonsense with beautiful women in their arms. After a while, the "old man of the mountain" charmed these people again and carried them back. When these people woke up, they were convinced that they had just arrived in heaven, and they were determined to die for the "old man of the mountain" in order to enter heaven again.

In this case, there were so many famous politicians who died at the hands of the Murayi group that even King Edward I of England was stabbed with a poisonous dagger by the Murayi killer and almost died. During the Crusades, Saladin, a famous Arab general, was assassinated by the Murayi clique and led his army to surround the Murayi's lair. Several of the main strongholds of the Komurai group are located in high mountains, and they are connected to each other by plank roads, which are impossible for outsiders to enter. Saladin was besieged for a long time without achieving any results, and finally had to withdraw his army, and from then on he could only find ways to establish good relations with the Murayi group.

The Murayi group has been raging in the Middle East for five centuries. By the 13th century, the group had finally come to the attention of the Mongol Khan Möngke. Möngke sent his younger brother Hulegu to exterminate the Murayi group, and Hülegü led the Mongol iron cavalry to kill the "eagle's nest", exterminating the Murayi group and ending this terrifying assassination group.

Songtsevo:

Assassination is just a "side hustle"

The Russian group "Songtsovo" is a criminal organization based in Moscow. Prostitution, gambling, theft of antiquities, arms trafficking and money laundering are all the specialties of this group. In addition, the "Songtsevo" group also raised a group of professional killers to work for themselves.

Many of the killers recruited by the "Songtsevo" group are specially trained former police officers and secret agents. These people have been to hot spots, young, bold, and can only kill, and no one needs them in peacetime, so they can only be reduced to the killing tools of the underworld.

In order to avoid the murder being solved, the killers of the "Songtsevo" group are very ruthless when handling the bodies of their victims: sometimes they will be corpses**; Sometimes the victim is sent directly to the crematorium for incineration; Sometimes the corpse is placed in hydrochloric acid to dissolve completely. Even more terrifying is the so-called "road rolling method": the killer selects a construction site that is being repaired in advance, kills the target in the middle of the night, and then transports the body to the construction site. By this time, all the road builders had left work, so the killer put the body into a pit dug in the road, poured asphalt and cement, and then used a road roller to smooth the road, and then drove away. The next day, the road builders came to see and were surprised and delighted: someone had finished the work for them. They don't know that a soul has been crushed at the bottom of the road forever.

In the face of such cunning and ferocious killers, the Russian police sometimes seem powerless. As a matter of fact, as long as the case is committed by the "Songtsovo" group, the Russian police will basically not be able to crack it. Even if a few murderers are caught, they are low-level minions. Even so, when such cases go to court, most of them will drag on for 3 years and will not be resolved. Sometimes, after the police know the identity of the murderer, they simply disclose the information to the relatives of the victim and let them "solve it on their own".

In addition to the "Songtsevo" group, there are also many criminal groups active in Russia that focus on murder, such as the Kurgan Gang, the Novo Kuznetsk Gang, and the Ryazan Gang.
