Chapter 27: Sin City

If Las Vegas is in order, Reno is disorganized. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When he came to this city, Liu Wei immediately found that this was definitely a place where dragons and snakes were mixed. Although Reno has put a lot of effort into municipal planning, urban management, and social security in order to develop the gaming and tourism industry, Reno is still a developing city compared to Las Vegas.

Among other things, there are far more Mexicans, blacks and Asians on the streets of Reno than in Las Vegas.

When Las Vegas started, during the "Great Depression" in the late 20s and mid-30s, many large families active on the East Coast moved west, so with the exception of a few local forces, most of the rulers of Las Vegas were white people from the New England region. Over the decades, Irish, Italian, and Dutch-American families have become the dominant force, with the Capua family being the epitome being the epitome of that.

Although Asians, blacks, Mexicans, and Russians have all taken root in Las Vegas in the last two decades, forming many gangs to compete with white forces, white forces still dominate the city by virtue of their good relations with political and legal circles.

Just before Liu Wei's arrival, the Irish, led by the Wren family, had a large-scale fire with the Russian gangsters, and several Russian gang leaders who did not know the height of the sky died on the streets, and the gamblers they invited were chopped off limbs, gouged out their eyes, noses and ears, cut out their tongues, and became human beings.

Reno, by contrast, is a different story entirely.

Because of the late development, black gangs and Mexican gangs have become a climate, and it is relatively close to Asian areas such as San Francisco, coupled with the inconvenient transportation in Nevada, there is only one low-grade intercounty highway from Las Vegas to Reno, and to take the high-level interstate highway, you have to detour through Los Angeles and Sacramento, so when Reno gradually developed and took shape, the gambling tycoons in Las Vegas failed to enter in time, giving blacks, Mexicans and Asians enough space and time for development. By the time Reno's gaming and tourism industries were beginning to take shape, white power had missed the opportunity to take sole control.

Liu Wei: They came at the right time.

As soon as he entered the city, Liu Wei witnessed a robbery. Two masked robbers burst into a small casino at gunpoint, but before the police could arrive, the two bold robbers were shot to death by a group of black strong men. After the police arrived, they only symbolized their surnames to understand the situation, and then took two black strong men back to make a record. It wasn't until half an hour later that the forensic examiner took away the two bodies.

"This kind of thing happens almost every day."

Because he had to arrange Beard's transfer work, Situ Wenhui didn't come to Reno with Liu Wei, and sent a subordinate over.

His name is Wang Shanping, and he is a real "banana man", and his parents moved to San Francisco before he was born. As a typical second-generation Chinese, Wang Shanping's Chinese is very lame, and many times he can only communicate in English. Fortunately, Liu Wei's English is very good, and there is no communication problem.

"It's all commonplace?" Mobei Wolf was a little unconvinced.

At the beginning, the two robbers had already rushed out of the casino, only to be surrounded by strong black men. Finding that there was no way to escape, the robbers gave up resistance, but the strong black man showed no mercy.

The two robbers were not killed, but executed!

"Pretty much, it's very common anyway." Wang Shanping smiled and said, "Casino owners have backstage, and they are also legitimate self-defense, and the police will not fight with black gangs for the sake of two outlaws." ā€

"What about the judge?"

"Judge?" Wang Shanping was stunned for a moment and said, "The judge with a conscience is either dead or gone, and this is the 'City of Sin'." ā€

"So we have a lot to do." Zhou Yulong laughed.

Liu Wei glared at him and told him to shut up.

Situ Wenhui said hello, Wang Shanping is one of her downlines in the United States, not a spy of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and has never participated in intelligence operations, so don't mention sensitive topics in front of him.

"We're just here to have fun, we should be fine if we win two small dollars, right?" Mobei Wolf diverted the topic.

"If you don't win much, it's fine, and if you win too much, I'm afraid it's hard to get out of the casino."

"Is there anything black eating black here?"

"Reno is not Las Vegas, and although the gaming industry association has long made rules and the municipal axe has issued ordinances, many casinos are run by Mexicans and blacks. The former is good to say that the main purpose of those Mexican drug lords to run casinos is not to make money, but to launder money. The latter is not so generous, the capital of blacks is not strong enough, and they basically rely on violence to solve problems. ā€

"When do casinos usually open?"

"It's open 24 hours a day most of the time, but it's the busiest at night."

"Let's find a place to stay." Liu Wei glanced at Wang Shanping and said, "The general hotel is enough, and you will come out at night after eating." ā€

Wang Shanping didn't talk nonsense anymore, and took Liu Wei and them to a hotel with a very oriental charm.

It seems that he is very familiar with the owner here.

Situ Wenhui asked him to lead Liu Wei, mainly because he knew Reno better. Before meeting Mr. Szeto, Mr. Wang was a tour guide for a travel agency, where he was bringing tourists from across the Pacific to Reno and Las Vegas to spend a lot of money in casinos.

The owner of the hotel is a Chinese, speaks Hokkien dialect, and seems to be from Fujian.

Liu Wei didn't care too much, he didn't plan to contact Chinese Americans, after all, it was too eye-catching, and it was too easy to attract the attention of the CIA and the FBI.

After entering the room, Liu Wei went to take a shower.

It's the hottest time of the year, coming from Las Vegas, bumpy hours, eating a lot of dust, and sweating a lot.

For Liu Wei, this is a very rare feeling.

Before the remodeling, Liu Wei rarely sweated, even after just doing strenuous exercise. After the transformation, this basic physiological function returned to normal, which made Liu Wei feel very comfortable.

After calling Mobei Wolf and Zhou Yulong, Liu Wei gave each of them $2,000 in gambling money.

"So little?"

"How much do you want?" Liu Wei glanced at Mobei Wolf, "It's a difficult time now, you have to save flowers." Besides, we're here to make money, not to spend money. ā€

Mobei Wolf rolled his eyes, picked up the banknotes, and then took out the cigarette case containing the cigars.

Liu Wei ordered another two thousand dollars and handed it to Takeuchi Kotone, who followed him with a dead skin.

Lighting a cigar, Mobei Wolf suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Yulong counted the banknotes before he finished it.

"This cigar is worth five hundred dollars, this cigarette case is tens of thousands, and this lighter, to say the least, it costs a few thousand, but we only have two thousand dollars, shouldn't we laugh?"

"For you, is there a difference between two thousand dollars and two hundred dollars when you go to a casino?"

Mobei Wolf shook his head with a smile and said, "It's almost, if you want to eat something at night, I'll treat you." ā€

"You have the money to treat you?"

"Two thousand dollars is enough for a big meal, and two hundred dollars left is enough, isn't it?"

Liu Wei also laughed and said, "Let's eat something, we have to hurry up and find out if Kapuya has fooled us." ā€

asked Zhou Yulong to call Wang Shanping, and Liu Wei and they went to the restaurant on the second floor.

The meals are simple, but they are all authentic Chinese food, and the taste is relatively pure, unlike many Chinese restaurants that have changed to cater to the taste of foreigners.

It's no surprise that the number of mainland visitors to Reno is increasing year by year.

If it hadn't been so hot two months ago, it would have been full of mainland high rollers.

Filling their bellies, the group left the hotel.

"Where are you going?"

"Start with the one where the robbery happened during the day."

Wang Shanping didn't ask any more questions, and drove to the casino, which was run by a black gang.

Outside the casino, Liu Wei asked Wang Shanping to wait for them in the car. This guy was also happy when he arrived, and he agreed to come down and didn't go in with Liu Wei.

Unlike Las Vegas, you have to be frisked before entering the casino.

A strong black man weighing at least 300 pounds stood at the door, and was searched by two gun-carrying guards. When it was Takeuchi's turn, Liu Wei stopped the black guard who was five big and three thick. Probably seeing that Liu Wei and they were not ordinary people, especially the murderous eyes of Mobei Wolf, the black guard called out a black girl dressed in a demon and asked her to search for Takeuchi Qinyin before letting a few people in.

Inside the casino, there is a miasma of smoke, and at first glance it is not a place for good men and women to come.

This gap in atmosphere is exactly what makes Reno less than Las Vegas. After decades of development, the gambling industry in Las Vegas has become very formal, not only is there rarely anything black and black, but the casinos are also richly decorated, so that gamblers feel at home.

The gamblers are mostly black, with some Asians, but there are no Mexicans and whites are rare.

After taking a turn inside and playing a few hundred, Liu Wei came out with Mobei Wolves.

"It's not interesting, and there's not much oil and water." Mobei Wolf also saw the problem. "There are a lot of gamblers, but there are few who are really rich, and the casino doesn't have much capital."

"There are still 108,000."

"If you want to win him 180,000, I'm afraid we will have to kill everyone in it before we can come out."

Zhou Yulong smiled bitterly and shook his head, this casino really doesn't have much capital.

"Let's go to the next one, it's still early anyway."

Led by Wang Shanping, Liu Wei and the others went to several more casinos, some opened by black gangs, some opened by Asian gangs, and two small casinos opened by Mexicans.

The result is about the same, these casinos are not in the climate, there is not much oil and water.

By this time, it was already the middle of the night.

"Are there any bigger casinos?" Liu Wei was a little impatient, if he continued to spend so much, maybe he would have to walk around tomorrow night.

"Yes, yes, but ......"

"Just what?"

"It's a bit of a hassle." Wang Shanping was a little hesitant.

"Do you think we're trouble-scared people?" Mobei Wolf immediately laughed.

"The biggest casino is right in front," Wang Shanping pointed ahead, "it's run by the Mexican drug lord Carlos, it's not smaller than those casinos in Las Vegas, and it's also very famous." ā€

"Let's go there."

"But ......"

"Send us over, if it's inconvenient for you, wait until you go back to the hotel, you don't have to wait for us."

As soon as Liu Wei said this, Wang Shanping nodded and didn't ramble again.
