The victory of the New People's Party in the general election distracted the attention of the American news media. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

While analyzing the trend of the New People's Party's policy after it came to power, the US news media are also boldly predicting how the US president will exert pressure on the newly appointed prime minister.

According to the usual practice, Prime Minister Ben will visit the United States within a month after taking office.

The fastest flight in history was to Washington on the evening of his inauguration.

Because the major news outlets focused on the nationalist sentiments of the New People's Party, Kojiro Ikawa, and Tsumoto, what happened in Las Vegas went unnoticed, and only local television stations, as well as the Las Vegas morning and evening newspapers, reported on Bertola's murder outside the restaurant.

It happened very suddenly.

Bertola, one of the gambling tycoons in Las Vegas, came to the United States with the wave of immigrants at an early age, and worked in Las Vegas casinos at the age of sixteen. Because of his tactfulness and the chance to save a rich man who was hunted down by enemies, at the age of twenty-two, Beto opened a retail store. Over the next decade, Betola gradually grew and grew. More than 20 years ago, taking advantage of the opportunity of Las Vegas's vigorous development of the logistics industry, Bertola took the lead and established the largest logistics company in Las Vegas. In just a few years, Bertola monopolized the logistics industry in the southwestern United States. Twelve years ago, Bertola bought the ferris wheel hotel on the verge of collapse and became a Las Vegas gambling tycoon.

Although he has not been in the gambling industry for a long time, compared to the old families such as Capua, Bertola is much worse, but the development momentum is very strong, and he has already surpassed the old families such as Capua and has become the gambling tycoon second only to the Carcarre family. If you include the logistics industry of the Betola family, its strength has surpassed that of the Carcarre family.

Like many of the first "godfathers" of the Italian mafia, Bertola was very nostalgic.

For decades, he went to the restaurant "Santa Maria" once a week. The owner of this restaurant helped Bertola through the most difficult times more than 50 years ago. After making a fortune, Bertola not only helped the owner's children go to college, but also funded the renovation of the restaurant.

For this reason, the owner specially reserved a place for him and prepared the most delicious food for him.

After eating, Bertola left the restaurant, accompanied by two bodyguards.

In the past, he only brought one bodyguard, and the rest of the staff stayed outside the restaurant. It's just that after the Capua family was finished, Bertola had to be careful, bringing an extra bodyguard, and eight bodyguards in two off-road vehicles to guard the streets at both ends to prevent strangers from approaching.

Even so, Bertola was not spared.

At the time of the attack, the two bodyguards were invisible. By the time the other bodyguards arrived, the assailant had climbed onto the roof opposite.

The police arrived five minutes later and immediately cordoned off the scene.

Seeing the three headless bodies lying in a pool of blood, there was no need to even call an ambulance.

When the forensic doctor arrived, he immediately confirmed that all three were killed with sharp weapons, and the broken neck was very neat. According to the waiter at the entrance of the restaurant, the attacker used a long knife. As for how he killed Bertola, the waiter didn't know, because the attack came too suddenly and too quickly.

The police immediately concluded that it was a gang vendetta.

At this time, Liu Wei had already returned to the car.

Although this kind of thing can be handed over to Takeuchi Qinyin, her stature is too short and can be seen through at a glance, so Liu Wei decided to take action himself.

Pulling the car door shut, Zhou Fen started the off-road vehicle.

"This knife is good, what kind of material is it made of?"

"I don't know, it was made for us by Brother Zhou, and he said that he used cannon steel."

"Cannon Steel?" Liu Wei laughed and said, "This kid has a heart." Take good care of it, and I'll help you make a few better Toyo knives when I have a chance in the future. ”

"Really?"

"Brother Liu, you said that you helped Sister Qinyin get the 'Hundred Ghosts Contending'." Daiku Mai turned out old accounts.

"Mai, Brother Liu has done his best."

"Don't worry, the knife I made for you must be much better than the 'Hundred Ghosts Contending'." Liu Wei patted Mai's head and said, "Don't forget, the Oriental knife is derived from the Tang knife. More than 1,000 years ago, our ancestors were able to create a much better sword than the Oriental sword. With today's material technology, it is sure that better knives can be made. ”

"You've got to talk about it." Mochizuki Yuka added.

"Absolutely talking, the five of you will do it alone."

As soon as Liu Wei said this, the three little girls were satisfied.

Mobei Wolf, who was sitting in the front row, rolled his eyes and said to Liu Wei: "It's still early, do you want to try your skills again?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Carcarare should be at home at this time, and he will go to bed in half an hour, and if you rush over now, the time is just right."

"Forget it, you don't think there's enough to do?" Zhou Fen glared at Mobei Wolf.

"Lao Zhou, go back to the hotel." Liu Wei didn't pay any attention to Mobei Wolf anymore, and said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Los Angeles and let Harris deliver the goods as soon as possible." ”

"What to deliver? The first batch hasn't been sold out yet. ”

"How many are left?"

"At least half of it, the quality of his goods is too poor."

Liu Wei pondered for a moment and said to Zhou Fen: "How much cash do we have?" ”

"Counting the money recovered, it's about 10 million dollars."

"Almost, that's the price of that shipment."

"You're going to settle the bill with Harris?" Mobei Wolf glanced back at Liu Wei.

"Anyway, it has to be settled, and according to the agreement reached, the second batch of goods can only be obtained after the settlement of the bill."

Mobei Wolf sighed and said, "Okay, we don't lack this 10 million dollars, but those things from Harris really can't be sold." ”

"It's your business."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Do you know why customers are picky?" Liu Wei smiled and said, "Because there are competitors and they can provide better goods." ”

"You mean ......"

"If you have no competitors and can only buy from us, will those addicts still be picky?"

Mobei Wolf nodded thoughtfully, understanding what Liu Wei meant.

"Mai, Yuka, you two stay behind to assist Uncle Wolf."

"Brother Liu......"

"Uncle Wolf is old, and his hands and feet are not very dexterous, you have to be diligent."

Mobei Wolf rolled his eyes, he wasn't old enough yet.

Although he is a little reluctant, Mobei Wolf is really good to his own people, and he is very generous, and Daiku Mai and Mochizuki Xixiang are also happy to do things for him.

Besides, I took a lot of benefits from Mobei Wolf before, and I have to pay something back.

The next morning, Liu Wei left Las Vegas with Takeuchi Kotone and headed for Los Angeles.

By the time they left the city, the police had blocked all the roads and checked the passing vehicles one by one. Because Liu Wei was already a celebrity in Las Vegas and showed his face in Reno, the police didn't embarrass them, but just checked the trunk of the car and let them go after finding no suspicious items.

This kind of examination is not useful at all.

The Toyo knife that killed Bertola was placed in the exhaust pipe of a modified car, and the pistol used for self-defense was hidden in a hidden compartment under the dashboard.

If you want to make a profit, you have to dismantle the car.

Without hard evidence, the police in Las Vegas wouldn't do something stupid that would cost them their jobs.

"Brother Liu, let's just go to see Harris?"

"Why, do you need to be prepared?"

"It's just two of us, and Los Angeles is his turf."

"You're worried he's going to turn on me?" Liu Wei smiled and said, "First of all, he won't turn his face against me, and secondly, even if he turns his face against me, we can escape." ”

Kotone Takeuchi still looked a little apprehensive.

"Believe in your own ability, but also believe in your own judgment."

"Brother Liu, I'm not you."

"Then trust my judgment. With your current abilities, I'm afraid no one but me will be able to deal with you. ”

Kotone Takeuchi nodded, looking a little relieved.

"Lie down and rest for a while, I'll call you when it's time."

Liu Wei controlled the speed of the car and did not speed. If you are stopped by a highway patrol officer for speeding, and a murder weapon hidden in the car is turned out, it is not worth it.

At noon, Liu Wei and Takeuchi arrived in Los Angeles.

The two stayed in the Marriott Hotel last time, and it happened that the room they stayed in last time was empty, and the lobby manager remembered Liu Wei and gave a 20% discount.

All afternoon, Liu Wei spent the sun on the terrace.

Although Takeuchi Kotone was a little unaccustomed to this kind of leisure life, at the instigation of Liu Wei, he also changed into a bikini and went to the terrace to bask in the sun.

Fortunately, the Marriott Hotel has more than 30 floors, and the nearest high-rise building is still a few hundred meters away.

In the evening, Liu Wei ordered two dinners and asked the waiter to bring them to the guest room.

"Brother Liu, aren't we here to find Harris?"

"yes, this is Los Angeles, right?" Liu Wei graciously pulled out a chair for Takeuchi Kotone, "Harris must know that we are coming, so he will come to us without us visiting." ”

"Are you sure?"

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Of course, but I'm afraid the lobster we ordered will be cheaper than the hotel waiter." ”

Takeuchi Kotone was stunned for a moment, and then he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

"Let's go change into clothes." Liu Wei stood up, "Don't be too exaggerated, dress ordinary." ”

"I only brought that outfit."

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay, wait until we go out to buy it, anyway, we're not in a hurry." ”

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

When Takeuchi Qinyin entered the bedroom, Liu Wei opened the door. It wasn't Harris, it was his subordinate, the Pole named **Vic.

Apparently, Harris was going to ask Liu Wei to go to his residence.

Changing into civilian clothes, Liu Wei took Takeuchi Qinyin and left the hotel with ** Vicky. It's just that instead of going directly to Harris's estate, the two asked ** Vicky to take them to the nearest business world.

As the saying goes, the Buddha depends on gold, and people rely on clothes.

When you go out to talk about business, you must be decent.

Besides, Takeuchi Kotone is usually thrifty and thrifty, and he is reluctant to spend a penny, so he finally took her out alone, so he naturally had to buy a set of outfits for her.
