"World Cup, Brooklyn Navy Playground, Marti."

Matthew left two words and a name on the note, and there was no time, the ink was already wet with water oozing from the tank. After reading it, Arthur crumpled the note and threw it into the toilet bowl to flush it, silently recited it in his mind a few times, memorized the three phrases firmly, then washed his hands and walked out of the bathroom.

There was already a mess in the restaurant, the store called the police, and the nearby patrol police arrived and took control of the scene. Arthur took advantage of the chaos to leave the scene, and a man was killed in a restaurant on the night that the entire city of New York celebrated the Knicks' championship. Arthur didn't know if Matthew had made an appointment to meet at this Greek restaurant in order to kill the man, or if he had made an appointment and suddenly received an assassination mission.

Matthew and Arthur have had very little contact lately, and Gandolfer clearly smells danger, and Matthew must be extremely careful.

The next day, Arthur learned through the news that the man who was killed was named Alexander Fernando, the youngest of the three sons of Nino Fernando, the eldest of the Fernando family, and a suave son. But he is very favored by Nino, and is said to be the number one candidate to inherit the family business. And the second-in-command of the Fernando family is Nino's eldest son Felix, who is half-brother to Alexander. As Nino grew old and weakened, the contradictions between the two brothers naturally became more and more acute.

As a result, on the summer night when the Knicks won the championship, Alexander was in a Greek restaurant in the early morning, accompanied by two beautiful women, and was shot in the head and killed on the spot. One has to suspect that this is the hand of his eldest brother Felix, who broke up the wall in order to inherit the family business. From ancient times to the present, the transfer of power has always been full of blood and violence, and the struggle between the young and the old is not only in China, but also in other countries.

In the underground rivers and lakes of New York, this assassination on the surface seems to indicate that a bloody storm is kicking off. In fact, many people don't know that the prologue of this drama has been kicked off on Good Friday two months ago, but the leading actor of this drama has been hiding behind the scenes, making people scratch their heads and not know that the play has begun.

Arthur knew that this assassination was not simply an internal struggle within the Fernando family, but another move by Gandolfel to muddy the waters. Under Arthur's successive "attacks", Jackie Gandolfeld suffered a lot of losses, but he didn't know who was doing the ghost from beginning to end. This was the first time this had happened, and the underground emperor began to become agitated, and his plans were disrupted. After Montolo and Dior disappeared, Gandolfil realized that something was wrong, but he still couldn't find a clue.

From beginning to end, he did not cast a suspicious eye on Arthur, a young man in his early twenties. He even thought about using Arthur to use his surname to disrupt and control the Luciano family. Unfortunately, the forces that Jackie Gandolfeld has to face are too secretive and terrifying, far beyond his imagination. He had to launch a new plan and set his sights on the Fernando family, which was the second largest in the New York area and relatively uncontested.

The Fernando family started out in the leather and meat business, controlling the largest brothel on Spring Street, and controlling the main resources of prostitutes in New York. They were also engaged in human trafficking, and with the upheaval of Eastern Europe and the collapse of the Soviet Union, beautiful and tall Eastern European women were sent to the United States in droves to engage in the sex trade. A once powerful nation has disappeared, their wealth has been plundered, men at the bottom have been enslaved, and women have become prostitutes.

It was also around the beginning of the 90s that fair-skinned and beautiful Eastern European women began to emerge on the covers of pornographic CDs in Europe and the United States, seizing market share and providing huge profits for the smugglers and giants of the industry. The Fernando family relied on this dividend, controlling at least three major adult film distribution companies, and became New York's No. 2 family.

But just as rapists are despised in prison, the Fernando family, which started out in the flesh business, certainly doesn't have a good reputation in the underworld. Many men can't do without prostitutes and pimps, but they all hate and look down on prostitutes and pimps. Therefore, the Fernando family has always been relatively low-key, and the old Nino pays attention to making a fortune in a muffled voice, no matter how the scale and financial resources grow, he has always taken a steady and neutral route among the five major families. They are rarely involved in violent disputes and criminal activities such as homicide, kidnapping, drug trafficking, and arms trafficking.

As the second largest family, Fernando has a huge industry and an attractive market share, and it is impossible to think that "there is no quarrel with the world". The killing of Alexander Fernando will only be the beginning.

……

"The bosses of the Luciano family, Montolo, Dior the horned head, and Schmidt, the owner of Luciano's restaurant, have not been seen since June 17. June 17, the night of the finals. ”

With a "snap", Juan knocked a magnet on the whiteboard and stuck a photo on it—a headshot of Montolo. Then, Juan wrote "June 17" under the photo, and then stuck the photo of Dior and Schmidt in the back with a magnet.

"Now the boss of the Luciano family is Silves...... Here's a photo I got from the anti-black group, and it's the second time they've changed bosses since the disappearance of Tony Luciano, the last boss of the Luciano family. Juan said, pasting Sylvis' picture on the board.

At this time, he was in a special office opened by the New York Police Department, as the head of the case, dealing with a series of recent homicides in New York. After the finals on June 17, the World Cup in the United States will be held. East Rutherford, New York, New Jersey, hosted Group E. A large number of police forces in the New York area were mobilized to East Rutherford for law and order, but as a result, Manhattan and Queens had frequent murders.

According to clues, these cases are all related to the Italian mafia, and the group team in Group E this time will be the Italian team. The police department has pooled the cases and mobilized a number of competent personnel to form a special investigation team to deal with these cases. The head of the investigation team is Juan. The two murders he and Brown had previously investigated were also included in the investigation team, because the deceased in both cases had ties to the mafia.

"In the early hours of June 18, at the Avra Estiatorio restaurant in Manhattan, Alexandre Fernando, the youngest son of the head of the Fernando family, was shot dead. There were three shots, one in the head and two in the chest, killing him instantly. ”

Juan posted another photo of Alexandre Fernando's death, in which Alexander, who was originally handsome and free-spirited, chatting and laughing with beautiful women, collapsed on a messy seat, with a small red blood spot in the center of his forehead, and a large hole in the back of his head had actually exploded.

The shot was precise and deadly.

"On June 21, in the underground high-end brothel on Spring Street, the eldest of the Bruno family, Massino Bruno, was suffocated to death with a plastic bag, and the murderer was a prostitute...... However, the prostitute was also shot and killed in the toilet of the brothel. The bodies of both were found at the same time. ”

The Bruno family has always been New York's "arsenal", but they first harvested cotton, and later began to engage in gun trafficking, murder and kidnapping. He had a lot of bloody cases on his hands, and eventually became the victim of a bloody case.

When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back.

A picture of Mr. Masino was also pinned to the whiteboard, with his eyes prominent, his face flushed, and white foam oozing from the corners of his mouth. Before he was killed, he was sedative, so he didn't resist too strongly when he was suffocated.

"On June 24th, at the East Rutherford Giants, the match between Italy and Norway, after the game, the boss of the Colombo family, along with three of his bodyguards, were found dead in the car in the stadium parking lot, and they came to watch the Italian team play."

With the World Cup in full swing in the United States, Italy barely qualified for the group stage with one win, one loss and one draw, and for the large number of Italian immigrants in the greater New York area, it is a beautiful thing to be able to watch the football games of their hometown teams on their doorstep. So a gang boss like Gigandi can't help but join in the fun. Gigandi has always been cunning, and the Colombo family is mainly engaged in all kinds of fraud and theft, and they control the largest telecommunications and credit card fraud ring in the United States.

As a result, in the face of the killing of Alexandria and Massino one after another, and the disappearance of Montolo and Dior, he still had the courage to come out and watch the game. I don't know if it's because of my love for football, or if I'm sure I'm not on the assassination list. In short, he died, and he was buried with three bodyguards. Looking at the photos, the four people were shot and killed in the car, and they walked very uneasily.

"The five major families of the mafia, except for the Gandolfil family, each of them has a brain figure who has been killed. In addition to them, large and small firefights, as well as disappearances, have been frequent this month. All the evidence so far points to the boss of the Gandolfil family and the titular head of the Five Family Federations, Jackie Gandolfel. But we don't even have a photo of him, just a photo from the FDA......"

Photographs of several murders were arranged in a circle on the whiteboard, with Juan in the center of the ring, pasted with a picture of Jackie, taken by Matthew at the party, with Arthur in it.
