Chapter 164: Yuri's Careful Thoughts
In the past few days, in the newspapers of Atlantic City, a famous resort city in the eastern part of the United States, a horrific murder case has continued to occupy the front page of the local newspaper. The local people www.biquge.info continue to pay attention to this case, because among the victims of this case are three people who can cause an earthquake by stomping their feet in the city, and they are the owners of several large casinos in the city.
Because the crime happened in the middle of the night, and the location is not a key area where the rich gather. The police did not arrive at the scene of the crime until early the next morning, an Irish-style grilled rib restaurant. However, when the police arrived, the scene had been completely burned to the ground, plus the firefighters who fought all night damaged the scene. The technicians of the police station no longer expect to find anything of value from the scene. The only thing that could be seen at the scene was three charred corpses that had been burned and glued together.
The police believe that the killer seems to be very experienced, and that he did not fake the incident as an accident like the criminals in crime novels. The murderer burned the crime scene to the ground with a clean fire, and although the police found traces of arson, they had no idea and no evidence to prove who actually did it. For a moment, it seemed that all the clues were broken. As a result, the police could only find another way to start with the social relations of the three deceased.
Yuri and Ivankov are not worried about the progress of the police investigation, and they have returned to Taj Mahal to handle their business.
Yuri is now able to stand up from his wheelchair and walk slowly on crutches. However, he also knew that it would be problematic to appear in front of the staff in such an image, so during this time, Ivankov has been patrolling the casino every day in place of Yuri.
However, there are still two things to be dealt with by Yuri himself, the first is that those Mexican gangs will send an important person here to talk about cooperation, and Yuri attaches great importance to this matter. This is an opportunity that he has finally won after coming to the United States, if he can successfully get these Mexicans to do business, then Yuri can contribute a stable and lucrative income to the Gorky Gang, and Yuri will never let himself miss this opportunity.
And the second thing is the arrival of Seryosha, who is still on crutches? How do you explain it when you see Seryosha? Yuri had been suppressing this matter and did not tell Seryosha before, firstly, for fear that Seryosha would be worried, and secondly, for fear that Seryosha would think that the risk here was too great, so he would retreat.
Several of the Soviet folks who participated in the arson that night were left behind by Yuri. After this catastrophe, Yuri has deeply understood that he must have a certain counterattack ability in his hands to be able to deter his opponent. In the past, Yuri had been working alone, and although he wanted to build a team, he struggled with the lack of talent to help him. Now Ivankov has arrived, and he has shown Yuri a new way to tap into talent: hiring smugglers who are struggling to make a living hiding in the Russian-American community.
Seryosha tells Yuri that he still has some things to attend to these days, and that he won't come to Atlantic City to meet him until everything is almost done. However, Seryosha still knew Yuri's thoughts, and he asked Terkina to set off first, and came here in advance. At this moment, Yuri was holding a bouquet of delicate flowers in his hand, standing in front of his hotel and waiting for Gerkina's arrival.
A yellow taxi slowly pulled up in front of Yuri, and after a while, the door was opened. Gerkina got out of the car. Say to Yuri, "Hey! Man, have you been waiting for a long time? ”
"No, I just came down too!" Yuri said as he handed the bouquet over. Gergina seemed very happy to receive the flowers, she smelled the fragrance of the flowers and looked at Yuri with a smile.
The hotel doorman took Gerkina's luggage and they returned it to Gerkina's room. Yuri, on the other hand, can't wait to take Gergina on a tour of his proud Taj Mahal.
"Wow! It's a ...... That's great! Gergina walked into the lobby of the hotel, and was surprised by the resplendent decoration inside. It wasn't the same as the hotel she stayed in New York. It is often decorated with pure gold, which looks like a royal palace, and has a unique Indian style. Gerkina immediately liked it.
"How much did it cost to buy this place?" Gergina asked curiously.
"I don't remember, it's an astronomical amount anyway! However, Seryosha said that the investment is still very cost-effective! Yuri replied.
Gerkina nodded in agreement, and then graciously took Yuri's arm. However, she noticed that Yuri seemed to be holding a cane with one arm, so she asked with some concern, "Yuri, what's wrong with you?" Could it be an injury? ”
"Nothing, Gerkina! I had a car accident a while ago and I'm almost better now! Yuri replied without changing his color.
"There was a car accident, why! Did you drink and drive again? Gergina asked, a little angry.
"No, it's just an accident, there's nothing to say, it's all over!" Yuri diligently distilled the conversation, and then Yuri took Terkina to the lobby of the Taj Mahal casino. Walking into the hall, the noisy scene inside was an eye-opener for Terkina. Closer to the gate, there are mainly small bet games, and the further you go inside, the bigger the bet becomes. Gergina wandered through it, as if she had come to an imaginary world.
"Want to play two?" Yuri asked.
"No, I don't really like gambling! I just like the bustle of the place, but it feels a little unreal, like a dream! Gergina said.
"Actually, this place belongs to all of us, and you can be considered one of the bosses here. If you like it, I'll tell Seryosha about it and bring you to the United States too! Yuri said expectantly.
"That's a good idea, but I also have to take care of my mom! By the way, what else is there to do here besides the casino? Gerkina digressed the subject.
"There's a spa upstairs that seems pretty good, I can show you there!" Yuri continued. The two quickly left the casino and stepped into the elevator.
At this moment, there are only Yuri and Gerkina in the elevator, and Yuri looks at the beauty in front of him. He cheered himself up in his heart and said to himself, "Yuri, can't you be braver!" ”
"Why don't you speak!" Gergina suddenly asked, turning her head.
"I ...... I'm wondering what kind of person can be worthy of you! Yuri asked with courage.
Tergina was stunned for a moment, and after a few minutes, Tergina began to look at Yuri and smile without saying a word.
Did he understand something? Yuri speculated uneasily.
